Just spilled my coffee on a Millennial talking about how he won’t hire anyone who has been on the work circuit for more than 15 years. (This article appeared previously on Grandparents.com) As they move into their 40s and 50s, members of Generation X are confronting the reality of ageism in the office, something older workers know all too well. For boomers, it’s been a fact of life for decades, making it difficult to find and keep jobs in fields dominated by younger and younger coworkers. “Older workers are more loyal, tend to be more engaged in their jobs and have a bigger network to pull from in terms of getting the job done.” — Kerry Hannon, career expert The situation was only exacerbated by the Recession of 2008, which led many older workers to find themselves out of work for weeks, months and even years. Some have never recovered, financially speaking. Some never will. It has everything to do with widespread, culturally ingrained age discrimination. “Ageism is alive and well in the workforce,” says Kerry Hannon, career expert, Next Avenue blogger and author of Getting the Job You Want After 50. “And you don’t need to sugarcoat that.” The Facts About Age Discrimination at Work Ageism begins during the job search. While the current unemployment rate for people 45 and over is comparatively low — about 3.5 percent versus 4.9 percent nationally — older workers are at a disadvantage when looking for new gigs. They take longer to find work and make up about 45 percent of the long-term unemployed. When they are hired, it’s frequently in occupations that are different from their previous jobs, and they often settle for less money — especially if they’ve been out of work for an extended period. In a 2014 survey of roughly 2,500 older workers who’d been unemployed in the previous five years, 57 percent said “employers think I am too old” was a barrier to being hired. Research supports their claims. Last year, University of California Irvine economist David Neumark sent out 40,223 resumes, and found that workers age 29 to 31 were 18 percent more likely to get a callback than workers age 49 to 51, and 35 percent more likely than workers age 64 to 66. From offensive comments to unexplained layoffs, ageism doesn’t stop once you’re on the job, either. About two in three workers between age 45 and 74 have experienced it at work, according to AARP. Most people believe ageism starts in their 50s, though research suggests it actually begins around age 35. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 was supposed to address this unfairness, but in 2015, over 21,000 complaints were filed with the government. “In my experience, most have been people who have been employed for a long time, who have gotten up there in age and wind up being terminated,” says Scott M. Behren, a Florida-based lawyer who handles age discrimination cases. “A lot of time the older employees are making more money, and the companies want to get rid of the higher-paid employees.” Sadly, such cases almost never see the inside of the courtroom. “Discrimination claims are difficult,” says Behren. “There’s usually a harder standard of proof.” Why Age Discrimination Happens Unsurprisingly, age discrimination is rooted in preconceived notions of older workers. “[Management] worries that you’re not up for the job, that you don’t have the stamina and energy, that you’re not up to speed with technology, that you’re stuck in your ways,” says Hannon. “They’re worried that your salary demands are high and you’re expensive in terms of benefits. They’re concerned you won’t be happy reporting to a younger boss, that you’re not in it for the long haul — that it’s a holding place until you actually retire.” As it turns out, however, mountains of research contradict these harmful stereotypes. “Older workers are more loyal, tend to be more engaged in their jobs and have a bigger network to pull from in terms of getting the job done,” says Hannon. One 2012 Journal of Personnel Psychology meta-analysis of over 400 studies found that negative stereotypes associated with older workers — including low energy levels, more health problems, extra family commitments and resistance to change — were totally unfounded. Another 2015 AARP report discovered that employees over 50 cost less than expected and displayed “greater professionalism, a stronger work ethic, greater reliability and lower turnover.” What to Do: Getting Hired Despite all the evidence, preconceived notions about older workers persist. Hannon has four tips to combat ageism while job searching: - Market yourself. “Focus on your selling points as an individual worker,” she says. Tailor your experience to the specific job. “Be conscious and focus on your skills and what you have to offer the employer based on what their needs are.” - Get fit. “The real key to fighting the stamina [stereotype] is to get physically fit,” notes Hannon. She says it’s not necessary to run marathons, but an exercise program is a good idea. Hannon’s view: “Your appearance matters, and when you’re fit, you deliver.” - Stay up-to-date with tech. Computer knowledge is necessary to function in the modern workplace, including social media. “You have to be on LinkedIn to show you’re agile, and you understand technology,” says Hannon. Don’t ignore the latest developments in the field, either. “When a job has a certain requirement, and says you need a certain certification in a certain area, go get it,” advises Hannon. - Reframe your compensation. “Think of salary as more than just that number. Think of it as a total compensation. Can you negotiate for vacation? Can you negotiate for flex time? Autonomy and feeling in control of your time and work-life balance means so much more than a number,” Hannon says. What to Do: On the Job What if you’re experiencing ageism on the job, whether it’s a new gig or a long-held position? If it’s something relatively small, like a passing comment, address it when it happens. “Say, ‘This is troubling me,’” says Hannon. “Call it out. Don’t just hide it under the table. And if it doesn’t stop, you do need to go human resources and get a record.” Don’t do anything to encourage ageism stereotypes. “Be very careful talking about the old days, or that your knees are creaky,” Hannon says. “I encourage people not to say anything age-related.” If the problem is more than inconsiderate remarks — you’re passed over for promotions or unnecessarily disciplined, for example — you might consider taking action. “Document it as much as possible in writing to HR,” says Behren. “Keep diaries, keep logs of actions taken against you because of your age.” Understand, though, that age discrimination is almost never explicit, making it hard to prove. Employers rarely say they’re disciplining or firing someone because of his or her age. Dispute unfair disciplinary actions in writing, and if you are fired, make sure your lawyer sees any severance agreement before you sign. Should you decide to pursue your complaints further, remember that age discrimination lawsuits rarely make it to court. “It’s really hard to win these cases,” says Hannon. “If you can deal with it without going the full distance, you’re probably better.” What’s to Come Ageism — both at work and outside the office — isn’t going away anytime soon, but we can help make things better for older employees by just being ourselves. Standing up for our own qualifications and confronting prejudices against working boomers are just two of the real, actionable measures we must take in addressing larger, more institutional issues. And if you’re anxious your struggles will be for nothing, don’t worry. As Generation X is discovering, ageism eventually happens to everybody. This article is reprinted with permission. © 2016.

Although it is played all year round across the world, a lot of us still see tennis as a summer sport. Wimbledon encapsulates this, with its grass courts and strawberries. When Federer or the Williams sisters step out into the glare on the almost permanently sunny Centre Court (or perhaps the fluorescent lighting, with the rain beating down on the roof!), they are always in pristine white outfits, presenting an extremely summery image. Roger somehow seems to look cleaner than humanly possible, even after he has played. Nonetheless, it’s not just the champions who wear white at Wimbledon: anyone who does not will be quickly escorted off the court to change. There are a number of clubs around the world that operate a similar rule. So, where does the idea of wearing white clothes for tennis come from? There are 3 main reasons for the white clothing rule: historic social trends, club traditions, and the way it reflects heat. Historically, white clothes were a symbol of wealth and class which is why some clubs only allow this color. Additionally, white clothes absorb less heat – which helps players stay cool throughout the match. Let’s look at the logic behind the use of white clothing in general, and then focus on the place where it is most famously required. Why Tennis Players Wear White in General Scientists will tell you that white material reflects as much of the visible spectrum of light as possible, so it does not absorb much heat. This means that if you are going to play sport on a hot day, white clothing will keep you cool. So far, so logical, but that does not explain why players should not be given the choice of what color to wear. In fact, the idea of white outfits for sport goes back to the 17th century, when the first mention is found of a tennis player wearing white. This may have been to stop them from getting too warm, but social pressure would soon become a major factor. Gradually, all-white was adopted as the leisurewear of the wealthier classes on both sides of the Atlantic. This was partly a status symbol: the working classes could hardly wear white clothing in their daily lives, as any dirt was obvious. Those who did wear it were basically saying that they were upper class and did not need to work. White clothes also tended to be expensive, reinforcing their association with the social elite. Nonetheless, gradually, the middle classes also adopted the trend, in order to present a successful image. By the early 20th century, participants in summer sports played by the wealthier classes, like tennis, cricket, bowls, and croquet, were expected to wear white. Why Tennis Players Wear White at Wimbledon Wimbledon is run by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), who see their job as putting on a great tennis tournament while maintaining the traditions of the club. With the trend towards white clothing for summer sports, it was no surprise when, in 1890, the club introduced a requirement for predominantly white clothing to be worn by all players. During this era, such rules were common, but in recent years other major tournaments have decided that players can be allowed the freedom to dress in whatever colors they like. Wimbledon has emphatically not followed suit, with the AELTC making their requirements even stricter. They see the traditions of Wimbledon as part of what makes it unique and have no plans to change this rule. Wimbledon Dress Code The Wimbledon dress code for players currently extends to 10 paragraphs. In summary, players have to wear clothing that is ‘almost entirely white’. They need to be careful when doing their washing, as ‘off-white’ and ‘cream’ are excluded. Colored trim or small areas of color in a pattern are allowed if the colored part is no more than 1cm wide. These same rules apply to everything from caps to tracksuits and medical supports. Even underwear that might become visible has to be white! Logos are outlawed, and shoes are subject to strict requirements. These rules have been tightened up by the AELTC in recent years so that some outfits which were acceptable a few years ago are no longer allowed. The rules are a lot more relaxed for spectators, and as long as you are not expecting to be invited into a Members’ area or a hospitality suite you can more or less wear what you like. If you are watching the matches on Centre or Number One court, smart casual dress is preferred but will not be strictly enforced. Ripped jeans, vests, sports shorts, and dirty trainers are discouraged, but the key thing to avoid is clothing with political slogans or large logos. The club expects to avoid ambush marketing and political protests, so the security staff will be on the lookout for this kind of thing. Apart from that, feel free to dress comfortably, and keep in mind that even in England it can get very hot sitting in the sun watching tennis. The requirement to wear white clothing at Wimbledon, as well as some other clubs, can be looked at in two ways. Some will think that it makes players look smart and clean, and the rule should be retained in order to keep the old-school qualities that make the game what it is. Others would say that it comes from the days when only the wealthy or upper-class could play, and it emphasizes the fact that tennis is not an inclusive sport. In my opinion, it is fine at Wimbledon, where the world’s top players are happy to dress up and pretend they are in the 19th century. If the club wants to retain its traditions for marketing or other reasons, they are not doing any harm. I worry more about other clubs that still apply this rule. If even one person is made to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome by the image or expense of all-white clothing, then the rule is not good for the game.

Baltimore County aiming to put solar panels on government buildings and in parks – Baltimore County, in an effort to reach its goal of generating 20% of municipal power needs from renewable sources by 2022, has developed a preliminary plan to install solar arrays on government-owned properties, like community centers, police stations and parks. In all, more than a dozen properties are being eyes for development, through the request for proposals the county has issued. This request runs through June 18.

This brings the company’s total investment to $27.3 million. “LevelTen Energy will use this latest investment to expand its suite of products and services in North America and Europe, further reducing the barriers that impede widespread renewable energy procurement. The company will also open its platform to new types of channel partners and service providers, making the entire procurement process faster and easier for energy buyer participants.” Source: LevelTen Energy Scientists may be closer to solving LID – Researchers at the University of Manchester, scientists may have identified a key defect in solar cell structures that enables Light Induced Degradation (LID). “Combining a specialized electrical and optical technique, known as “deep-level transient spectroscopy” (DLTS), the team have uncovered the existence of a material defect which initially lies dormant within the silicon use to manufacture the cells. The electronic charge within the bulk of the silicon solar cell is transformed under sunlight, part of its energy generating process. The team found that this transformation involves a highly effective “trap” that prevents the flow of photo-generated charge carriers (electrons).” Source: Phys.org CAISO reliability coordinator verified – “The California Independent System Operator (ISO) announced today that its Reliability Coordinator operation attained its certification from the North American Energy Reliability Corp.

Organisations that have embraced digital transformation have recognised the advantages that Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has to offer and many of them have implemented it in their key business areas. By enabling businesses to automate certain tasks, RPA has eliminated mundane manual tasks, enhanced cycle time thus ensuring predictability, accuracy, standardization, flexibility and better control. Further to this, businesses have experienced short pay back periods of their investment in RPA and achieved cost savings of 25-50%. However the primary disadvantage of RPA is that while it has found acceptance for automating select simple and stable processes aimed at tactical quick wins, it has limited applicability and potential for scalability. RPA also has the inability to automate via unstructured data. In most businesses there are many continuous processes that require optimisation and human intervention for decision making and action. This is where hyperautomation could help large organisations in scaling their automation efforts and realise significant returns. Hyperautomation has caught the imagination of businesses in the last couple of years as it holds the promise of automating the whole body of knowledge work instead of just the simple tasks and rules. Gartner defines hyperautomation as “an effective combination of complementary sets of tools that can integrate functional and process silos to automate and augment business processes.” This approach is also known as Digital Process Automation (Forrester) and Intelligence Process Automation (IDC). Moving from simple automation of tasks to complex and sophisticated status of automation, hyperautomation has the potential to impact the processes and workflows across multiple stages such that processes are completed with speed, more efficiency and fewer errors. These outcomes are possible to be realised with a mix of automation technologies and artificial intelligence tools such as natural language processing (NLP), optical character recognition (OCR) and machine learning (ML) that not only simplify the processes but also empower and augment human capabilities for ensuing robust design, timely discovery and efficient management of work. In order to consider an initiative around hyperautomation, firstly it is important to examine the current systems, reengineer the processes as required and eliminate unnecessary steps in tune with the business realities. Since hyperautomation is built around a combination of technologies to augment human productivity, a sound strategy is required to be put in place to support this goal. It would call for a new automation strategy that would be centered around the goal of end-to-end automation and optimisation of digital processes at scale such that business stakeholders are empowered with minimal dependance on technical expertise. Identifying the right complimentary tools for RPA platform based on the prioritised set of addressable problems is an essential step towards this goal. Finally, executive support would be crucial for success. Potential benefits such as customer retention, enhanced revenue, reduced cost, decreased risk or increase in customer satisfaction would make a strong case to win the business mandate for hyperautomation.

Since we reached adulthood, almost all we establish a permanent relationship with money: the need to seek our livelihood and maintain a healthy financial situation makes it a fundamental element of our life. The approach to the various financial elements begins in different ways, but independent of our profession, occupation or social class, all we are involved in commercial exchanges at some point in our lives. We know as financial literacy skills and knowledge about financial products and concepts that allow us to make informed decisions about our personal economy. Acquire a financial culture that allows us to manage our finances well is essential. In our daily life, we are constantly trading, exchanging goods and services, and using money as a fundamental tool. Misconceptions held about him hurt the finances of those who are driven by popular myths. These erroneous beliefs about money and finances are widespread and would not necessarily exist in today’s world, where all the information we need is available to a few clicks. Popular misconceptions about money constantly we trade with money, and also we buy and sell in many financial operations we perform. When you apply for credit, you acquire a debt, asks for a personal loan, or change currency, which is actually doing is buying and selling money. But do we really know the price you have the money? Do you have any way of knowing if you are selling your savings at a good price? Information is key when it comes to trade. When, for example, sell our products in the market, we need to have information on the prices of our goods. In this way, we can set the price that best meets market demands. In this case, it seems obvious the need for information on these products, but do not always see so clearly the need to know what is worth the money. Popular misconceptions about the most common financial products In addition to misconceptions about money, financial instruments are the subject of many popular myths that do not correspond with reality. The credit cards , for example, are seen as an instrument that should never be used, when in fact, they are very useful if we know how to use them for our own benefit. Debt suffer the same bad reputation, but if it borrows in the right amount, can provide a lot of stability and economic growth. Insurance contracts is another financial instrument demonized by too many people. Unfortunately, the custom of having various types of insurance to assist us in unexpected situations is not sufficiently widespread. The general view is that insurance is a waste of money, but this conclusion can only be reached if there is not adequate information. All we do is explore the different products available on the market and find the right fit for our particular situation. Retirement planning is also essential. Although in general, people begin to make contributions to your pension to elderly, the ideal is to start very early to secure our retirement. Public pensions are not sustainable in many states and new generations should be aware that when they retire, most likely only have the income from their private pension plan.Tags: contracts, Financial, Insurance, Literacy, planning, Retirement

Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in Aug. of 2021, the country has been reeling from poverty, natural disaster, and isolation from the Millions of people across Afghanistan continue to suffer for lack of basics, a breakdown of infrastructure along with widespread hunger and disease. The risk of Cholera and other contagious diseases, and the increasing reach of famine threatens to undermine the basic well-being of generations Add to that, the plight of women who have seen opportunities dwindle and basic rights reduced to a limited indoor domestic subsistence. Across the cities women & girls are unable to go to school and work which in turn has decimated the role of NGOs who have had a major role in providing badly needed help to Afghan people – all of which exacerbates the nation’s Afghanistan’s literacy rate at the height of the US occupation was just over 50% for men and just under 30% for women. Today those rates have plummeted while families endure starvation, unemployment and lack of access to schools and jobs. Upwards of 90% of the Afghan population now subsist below the poverty line, and according to a report by UNDP, those numbers has risen to 97% by the end of 2022. As a part of our commitment to offer educational resources to people across Afghanistan we’ve partnered with ‘Herat Online School’, a UK- based social impact nonprofit with the mission of empowering Afghan youth through education. Formed by Angela Ghayour in response to Taliban’s ban on girls’ education upon takeover of Afghanistan, ‘Herat Online School’ has set out to create equity in educational opportunity, encourage critical thinking, and build capacity for Afghan youth to take control of their future. We at ‘A More Balanced World’ consider this kind of partnerships as central to the goal of expanding the spirit of a more just world and look forward to collaborations at multiple levels between the two entities. Make a Contribution We invite you to join us in making a lasting impact on the life of the most vulnerable in our communities.

Shortly after Vicky unveiled the trailer of his latest film ‘Govinda Naam Mera’, his wifey took to her handle to share the trailer and left a starry-eyed emoticon with a line that read, “Looks too fun.” Sharing her post on his Instagram stories, Vicky replied with a red heart emoji and wrote, “My Love.” At the launch event, Kaushal said that Kat had only seen the poster of the film and said, “She is looking forward to this film because she knows how hard the process was for me. I would share with her what all we would shoot.” Kaushal also shared that ‘Govinda Naam Mera’ is a tribute to the 1990s pulpy Bollywood masala films like the Akshay Kumar-led ‘Khiladi’ series and ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’. Written and directed by Shashank Khaitan, the comedy crime thriller tells the tale of an underdog and his family’s madness. “I have grown up watching films of Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, and Govinda. I started going to theatres also a bit late. I would often watch films on TV, like Akshay’s ‘Khiladi’ movies. I have been a fan of these films. So, the first seed of becoming an actor was sown by these films,” he said. “‘Govinda Naam Mera ‘ is another fragment of the same fabric. It is an ode to those pulpy films in which there was murder, comedy, suspense, thrill, love, etc. I am grateful to Shashank who came up with the film for keeping it contemporary and also giving an ode to that pulpy Bollywood masala,” Kaushal told reporters at the trailer launch of the film. The film which is slated to have an OTT release also stars Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar. Other cast members include Sayaji Shinde and Dayanand Shetty.

Are we being poisoned in the pursuit of fitness? Are we being poisoned in the pursuit of fitness?Back to News Our skin is our body’s largest organ. Protecting it and treating it well is essential, especially for athletes who need to be performing at their maximum every day. But did you know most athletic clothing could be harming us, instead of benefiting us? Active clothing is often made from synthetic fibres with additional properties applied such as ‘moisture wicking,’ ‘quick drying,’ ‘anti-wrinkle’ and many more. Although these are easily applied using chemical treatments - these often-harmful chemicals do not legally have to be listed on the final garments, and more often than not, brands themselves are even in the dark about what dangerous residues linger on the clothing that they sell to unknowing customers. As customers, we have a choice to continue purchasing activewear as normal, or to avoid known fabrics that are linked to health issues. Yet, athletes and sports teams do not have this choice, as their yearly kit is often provided by their brand sponsor, known for creating these health hazards. Synthetic fibres like polyester and nylon are derived from petroleum-based fossil fuels. Heavily mass-produced and have become an incredibly cheap material to buy. In too many cases, the materials have toxic chemicals embedded as finishing's on the fabric to create the desired properties listed above, which release plastic molecules as gas whenever they are heated. When these clothes are dried in a clothes dryer, these gases are released into the environment affecting air quality, and being breathed in. Additionally, when body heat releases these chemicals into the air, they can be absorbed through the skin into our own bodies. The polymers created in developing synthetic fabrics do not occur in nature naturally, meaning our skin and our bodies have not evolved to deal with them. Our skin’s function is to keep us healthy by venting up to a pound of toxins per day, but this is made more difficult when we wear harmful clothing which rubs toxins against the skin, suffocating our pores and preventing our body from removing them. When toxins are absorbed through the skin, they bypass the liver, the organ responsible for removing toxins, and have a more harmful effect. This can lead to a toxic build-up in the body, whilst the combination of multiple chemicals interacting together creates worse problems than individual chemicals on their own. Example chemicals used in the manufacture of activewear: - FORMALDEHYDE - Mainly used for wrinkle-free clothing and to prevent shrinkage. This is a known carcinogenic. - VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) - Solvents used in all parts of textile supply chain, particularly for printing. Off-gassing, which happens when VOCs are heated and the compounds are released into the air, is a huge issue for textile workers. VOCs cause developmental and reproductive system damage, skin/eye irritation, and liver and respiratory problems. Some VOCs are carcinogens. - PFCS - Creating durable water resistance; as stain repellent/ manager, Carcinogenic, bio-accumulative (builds up in bloodstream), and toxic in the environment. - BROMINATED FLAME RETARDANTS Used to stop clothes from burning, required on children’s clothing and contains Neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors, carcinogens. - AMMONIA provides shrink resistance in natural fabrics, and can be absorbed into the body, causing burning in the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Lately, some activewear marketed as ‘Performance’ is made from a new type of microfiber fabric that contains an inorganic bacteriostatic silver ion component – a technology solution that reduces the development of bacteria (cause of unpleasant odours) ensuring freshness, hygiene, and comfort. To achieve this, the fabric has silver nanoparticles woven in to enhance its antibacterial and anti-odour properties. Multiple studies have reported that nano silver leaches out of textiles when they are laundered, and that nano silver fibres may be toxic to humans and aquatic and marine organisms. Although it is widely used, little is understood about its fate or long-term toxic effects in the environment and our health. We do know that in humans, exposure to silver can harm liver cells, the skin, and the lungs. Prolonged exposure to large doses can cause a condition called Argyria in which the victim’s skin turns permanently bluish grey. When these garments are laundered and nano silver fibres are washed down the drain, they end up at wastewater treatment plants, and can potentially harm the bacterial treatment processes - making them less efficient. More than 90 percent of silver nanoparticles released in wastewater end up in nutrient-rich biosolids left over at the end of sewage treatment, which are often used on land as agricultural fertilizer. This poses multiple risks; if plants take up silver from soil, they could concentrate it and introduce it into the food chain. It also can leach into groundwater and wash into rivers via rainstorms or erosion. Silver is toxic to many microbes and aquatic organisms, including zebra fish, rainbow trout and zooplankton. There is little need for these harmful materials to be used in our clothing, especially when evidence suggest that their components not only cause great damage to the natural environment, but also a significant risk to human health, especially when there are so many more natural, renewable alternatives. Please consider the clothes you are wearing, and consider supporting brands who avoid these materials in favour of a natural, non-toxic solution.

1. High-quality schools can eliminate the achievement gap between whites and minorities. 2. Mayoral control of public schools is an improvement over the more common elected board governance systems. 3. Higher standards will improve the performance of public schools. As worded, the answer to all these questions is that the research is insufficient. But notice for questions 2 and 3 how any amount of improvement will do, while for question 1 only improvement that will "eliminate the achievement gap." Such improvement would have to be on the order of about a standard deviation increase in non-Asian minority performance with no increase in white performance. A tall order indeed. In fact such a tall order, that no in-school or out-of-school intervention has ever achieved such results for the general population-- even the ones that Bracey supported and touted in this very report. This is Bracey at his most dishonest--glaringly dishonest. Bracey had an agenda and he didn't mind bending the facts to fit his preferred outcome. He wasn't an honest researcher and this will be his lasting legacy. A more honest researcher might adopt a more neutral standard of achievement such as "an increase in the performance of all students by an educationally significant amount (0.25 standard deviation)." That would be a laudable goal and also would serve to reduce the achievement gap. It's also the generally accepted standard in education research. Under such a standard, Bracey would still get to criticize mayorial control and higher (national) standards as not having a sufficient research base; however, he'd have to acknowledge that there is a sufficient research base for higher-quality schools under this standard at least in the elementary school years. Another problem with Bracey's reports is that they are peppered with his own assumptions about how to reform education that don't have sufficient research base or are contradicted by the data. Here are a few. Students attending American schools run the gamut from excellent to poor. Well-resourced schools serving wealthy neighborhoods are showing excellent results. Poorly-resourced schools serving low-income communities of color do far worse. (p. 2) Schools serving low-income communities of color tend to have resources above the median school. I said above that if there are to be more high-quality schools (or at least, “high-quality” schools in terms of high or rising test scores), they will have to be developed in low-income neighborhoods. (p. 3)Bracey is implies that schools in higher income neighborhoods are doing a fine job educating low-income students. They aren't. Before taking up the question of whether schools alone can remedy the achievement gap for poor children, we have to ask what is known about the effect of poverty on children. What are some of the out-of-school factors that contribute to poor children’s lower performance? (p. 4) None of the studies Bracey, especially Berliner's, directs us to are capable of determining the causal link that Bracey implies. Bracey then proceeds to give us a few pages of various ailments and problems associated with poverty and attempts to draw a bleak picture of poverty's causal effect on student achievement. He has to resort to anecdote because the data a much less bleak picture. Poverty, or more accurately low socio-economic status (SES), is correlated with low student performance. But the amount of variance in student performance attributable to variations in SES is only about 18%. That means that 82% of the variance is attributable to non-SES factors. Bracey knows or should have known this, but misrepresents the data anyway. These disadvantages all operate to attenuate achievement in schools. The question is, can “high-quality” schools alone offset them? (p. 7) Bracey then looks at one ham-fisted study, Harlem Promise Academy, as a refutation. He ignores the other studies which have shown results larger than the 0.18 standard deviation gap attributable to poverty effects. Bracey does a better job with the mayoral control and high standards issues. But the problem is that on the poverty/SES issue Bracey's non-research-based views are no better than those of the proponents of mayoral control and high standards. Pot and Kettle meet Bracey.

If you’re looking to adjust your swivel TV mount for optimal viewing angle, you’ve come to the right place. A swivel TV mount can allow you to adjust your TV’s angle for a comfortable viewing experience. However, adjusting your swivel TV mount can be a little intimidating, especially if you’re not familiar with the process. In this article, we’ll take you through the process step by step, so you can adjust your swivel TV mount for 15 degrees without any hassle. Understanding Swivel TV Mounts Before we get started with adjusting your swivel TV mount, let’s first understand what a swivel TV mount is. In simple terms, a swivel TV mount is a bracket used to mount your TV on the wall. Swivel TV mounts have variations of angles, and they’re designed to tilt, rotate and swing in vertical and horizontal directions, allowing you to adjust the angle of your TV. Swivel TV mounts are becoming increasingly popular due to their flexibility and convenience. They allow you to adjust the viewing angle of your TV without having to move the entire unit. This is especially useful in rooms where the seating arrangement may change frequently, such as a living room or a conference room. It’s important to note that not all swivel TV mounts are created equal. Some are designed to hold smaller TVs, while others can support larger, heavier units. It’s important to choose a mount that is appropriate for the size and weight of your TV to ensure that it is secure and stable on the wall. Tools required to adjust a swivel TV mount You’ll need some tools to adjust your swivel TV mount. These tools include a stud finder, a leveler, a screwdriver, and a wrench. You may also need a drill and a masonry bit if you’re attaching your mount to concrete. It’s important to note that not all swivel TV mounts are created equal. Some may require additional tools or specific types of screws and bolts. Before attempting to adjust your mount, be sure to consult the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure you have all the necessary tools and hardware. Additionally, it’s always a good idea to have a second person assist you when adjusting a swivel TV mount, as the weight and size of the TV can make it difficult to handle alone. Common problems with swivel TV mounts and how to fix them Swivel TV mounts are designed to hold the weight of your TV and provide flexibility in positioning. However, some common problems that can arise include sagging, slipping, or a loose mount. Here’s what you can do to fix these problems: - To prevent sagging, make sure your mount is installed on a sturdy wall or stud. - Check if your mount is slipping by placing your hand under the TV and slightly pushing it. If it moves, tighten the bolts that hold the TV bracket to the backplate. - If your mount feels loose, try tightening the screws on the arm that supports the TV. Another common problem with swivel TV mounts is that they can be difficult to adjust. If you find that your TV is not staying in the desired position, try adjusting the tension on the mount. Most swivel mounts have a tension adjustment screw that can be tightened or loosened to make it easier or harder to move the TV. It’s also important to make sure that your TV is properly balanced on the mount. If the TV is not centered on the mount, it can cause the mount to become unbalanced and lead to sagging or slipping. Use a level to ensure that the TV is straight and adjust the mount as needed. How to assess the angle of your swivel TV mount Before adjusting your swivel TV mount, you need to assess the angle you want to adjust it to. To do this, sit on your couch and get someone to hold your TV directly in front of you. Take a look at the angle that is most comfortable for you, then calculate the angle you’d like to adjust your swivel TV mount to. It’s important to note that the angle you choose should also take into consideration the lighting in the room. If there is a lot of natural light coming in from a window, you may want to adjust the angle of your swivel TV mount to reduce glare on the screen. On the other hand, if you have a dedicated home theater room with controlled lighting, you may be able to adjust the angle to optimize the viewing experience without worrying about glare. Another factor to consider when assessing the angle of your swivel TV mount is the distance between your couch and the TV. If you have a larger room and sit further away from the TV, you may want to adjust the angle to be slightly higher so that you can see the screen more easily. Conversely, if you have a smaller room and sit closer to the TV, you may want to adjust the angle to be slightly lower so that you don’t have to strain your neck to see the screen. Step-by-step guide on adjusting your swivel TV mount for 15 degrees Now that you’ve assessed the angle you want to adjust your swivel TV mount to, it’s time to get started. Here are the steps you need to follow: - Locate the two adjustment bolts at the bottom of the mount’s VESA plate. - Loosen the bolts using a wrench, but don’t remove them completely. - Hold the TV and slightly tilt it to the angle you wish to adjust it to. - Use a leveler to ensure that the angle is correct. - When you’re satisfied with the angle, tighten the bolts slowly, making sure not to tighten them too much. It’s important to note that not all swivel TV mounts are created equal. Some may have different adjustment mechanisms or require different tools to adjust. Before attempting to adjust your mount, be sure to consult the manufacturer’s instructions or seek professional assistance if needed. Additionally, it’s always a good idea to have a second person assist you when adjusting your TV mount to ensure safety and accuracy. Tips for adjusting your swivel TV mount without damaging your walls To avoid damaging your walls when adjusting your swivel TV mount, be sure to follow these tips: - Use a stud finder to locate studs within your wall. This will ensure that your mount is attached to a sturdy base. - Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when attaching your mount. This will ensure that it’s properly secured. - If you’re unsure about the mounting process, hire a professional to do it for you. Additionally, it’s important to regularly check the tightness of the screws and bolts on your swivel TV mount. Over time, they may loosen and cause the mount to become unstable. It’s recommended to check the tightness every few months to ensure your TV remains securely mounted. Best practices for adjusting a swivel TV mount When adjusting your swivel TV mount, it’s essential to follow these best practices: - Ensure that your mount is installed correctly and securely. - Be sure to tighten all bolts and screws when adjusting your mount. - Check your TV’s weight and make sure your mount is rated to hold it. - Take extra care when handling your TV to prevent damaging it. Additionally, it’s important to consider the viewing angle when adjusting your swivel TV mount. The ideal viewing angle is typically at eye level, so adjust the mount accordingly. You may also want to consider the distance between the TV and seating area to ensure optimal viewing. Taking these factors into account can greatly enhance your viewing experience. Frequently asked questions about adjusting swivel TV mounts Here are some frequently asked questions about adjusting swivel TV mounts: - Can I adjust my swivel TV mount to face any direction I want? - Yes, as long as your swivel TV mount provides the flexibility required. - Is it possible to adjust my swivel TV mount by myself? - Yes, it is possible, but we advise that you follow the manufacturer’s instructions or hire a professional if you’re unsure about the process. - What is the maximum weight that a swivel TV mount can hold? - This depends on the capabilities of your mount. Be sure to check the maximum weight rating before mounting your TV. Additionally, it is important to consider the size of your TV when selecting a swivel TV mount. A larger TV may require a sturdier mount to ensure it stays securely in place when adjusted. Another factor to consider is the placement of your swivel TV mount. It is important to choose a location that provides a comfortable viewing angle and does not put unnecessary strain on your neck or eyes. Safety precautions when adjusting a swivel TV mount Here are some safety precautions you should take when adjusting your swivel TV mount: - Do not attempt to adjust your swivel TV mount alone. Always have someone help you, especially when handling heavy TVs. - Ensure that your mount is rated to hold your TV’s weight, and do not overload it. - Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure that your mount is properly installed and secured. Adjusting your swivel TV mount can be a little intimidating, but it’s a relatively easy process once you understand the steps. Follow the tips above, take your time, and you’ll have your TV set up for optimal viewing in no time. Another important safety precaution to keep in mind is to make sure that your TV is turned off and unplugged before attempting to adjust the mount. This will prevent any electrical accidents from occurring while you are working on the mount. It’s also a good idea to wear gloves and safety glasses when handling the mount and TV. This will protect your hands and eyes from any sharp edges or debris that may be present during the installation process.

The "Gold" Standard The "Gold" Standard! So, what are you talking about Farmer Ben? First, a little background and then I will fill in the details..... Nature's Gourmet Farm has been raising and selling meat chickens since 2013. Beth & I thought meat chickens would be a great compliment to our beef offering and after reading Joel Salatin's book "Pastured Poultry Profits" decided the next step was to visit Polyface Farms in VA during their semi-annual gathering in 2012. One of the many things I like and appreciate about Joel is he says what he does and does what he says. Meaning what we saw was the same as what we read in his books. So, 2013 started our very humble beginnings. Since then, we have had almost annual upgrades to our brooders, chicken tractors, and facilities. About 2016 we set up to be a feed distribution hub for Resaca Sun Feeds. Not only did buying bulk feed help our farm, but was the critical need for other farms to get started and be competitive. Today, we distribute feed to anywhere from 12 to 15 farms located within 125 miles from us. That's a win - win. And we gladly help folks who express an interest in raising meat chickens by showing and discussing our processes, facilities, and etc. At least three farmers have built their own chicken plant and I've discussed our operations with a farmer in Maine earlier this year. Okay - about the "Gold Standard". Just before our May 25th chicken processing date Andrew who has a farm near Raymond called and asked if he could come observe and work with us during our next processing. He explained that he currently raises vegetables in several greenhouses and wanted to add meat chickens. In fact, he had a batch on pasture that were five weeks old - So, he was anxious to get some experience processing before his needed processing. Andrew told me he started asking around where could he learn about processing. One of the folks he asked was Jaclyn Rogers with Honestly Beef who told him that Nature's Gourmet Farm is "THE GOLD STANDARD" when it comes to chicken. We certainly appreciate Jaclyn's kind words and the opportunity to meet Andrew and help him out. Y'all know, our customers regularly tell us how tender and juicy - and great tasting our chicken is compared to store bought. While our product may meet the gold standard in quality the price is a great value. One customer said her family from IN was paying $6.50 lb for a whole chicken vs. our price of $4.35. I recently saw where a farm in NY was selling whole chickens for $7.69 lb. A little closer to home is White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, GA who sells their whole chicken for $7.90 lb. White Oak was one of the first farms east of the Mississippi River to have an on-farm processing plant for both poultry and red meat. Locally, farms that I know are selling from $4.15 up to just over $6 per pound. Are you serving your family our "Gold Standard" chicken? Chickens were born to scratch and peck, and that's exactly what they do on our farm. Our pasture-raised chickens freely roam our pastures, foraging for bugs and grubs in the soil. They are also offered a non-GMO supplement, which contains grains like corn, soy, barley, and wheat. They never receive antibiotics, artificial growth hormones or steroids. And, our chickens are processed in our on farm plant vs. being shipped off somewhere for processing. Come check out our chicken. We offer whole chicken in 3, 4, 5, and 6 lb range, boneless breast, leg quarters, wings, liver, and feet. Buy Nature's Gourmet Farm Chicken Maybe you have been looking for premium ALL NATURAL GOODNESS of beef, pork, chicken, and eggs raised on pasture as God intended - without growth hormones, drugs, chemicals, and antibiotics - and raised humanely then you have come to the right farm.

Our old friend, The Missing Link, returns and joins up with newcomer Chad Sommer to give us another minimal techno gem: Combustable. As you’ve come to expect from Link, his track is filled with glitched-out percussion, eerie synths and a chuggin’ groove. From Chicago and new to our camp, Chad Sommer gives the track a progressive house workover that we think you’re going to quite enjoy. Lastly, Chad’s original work NaNaNaNa gives the release a little Chi-Town flare. To celebrate our decade of free, unique music, we have this special release with 3 of our artists. Zuko gives us a deep and moving house number, which we have come to expect from this house veteran. Brandon gives us a tech house romper that samples a well-known 90’s speed garage tune, and finally, we got our buddy F Stop (Matt Fiveson) to give us a minimal techno offering that is no less than aural perfection for a minimal head. Here’s to 10 more years! Back from a long stint in house music rehab, Eric.B brings us a new track, which we turned into a wicked 4 tracker. We got another killer remix from Zuko, which will fill any set/mix with the vibes you need. From Denver, ben A gives us a heady, bass-heavy number and Slow Moe gives us a wicked pitched-down remix with a sample you’re sure to remember. From France and a relatively new face on the scene, Indi-K brings us a romper of a tech house tune with a throwback feel to mid-90’s house music in the San Francisco rave scene. Accompanied by a haunting vocal from Panu Moon that speaks of a voodoo priestess in the south, we think you’ll find this track to be as heady as it is dancefloor-friendly. Plank gives us a remix a la his usual style, with a different take on the vocals. Back from far too long of a hiatus, we bring you an amazing new artist from the Left Coast: Zuko. The title track has 2 mixes; the ‘Ocean Wave Version’ is a stripped-down, deep excursion into the vibe with amazing vocal work from Zuk’s friend, Saturna. In the ‘Deep Tech Version’, we get a funkier, more Philly style of house that’s sure to cater to the fans of Kevin Yost and i! Records. ‘Somber Flight’ is nearly 10 minutes of tech house in a classical, sweeping chord and broken beat sound we knew and loved from labels like Immigrant in the early 2000′s. If you remember DJ Trance from the 90s, then you know why we’re excited to have a release by this rave icon! This release is a departure from his trance releases in the 90s, but we think it’s even better.

Most of us want to get to arrive at our final destination as quickly as possible. However, if you happen to be flying halfway around the world to get to your “home” for a long holiday – in this particular case, to the UK, Europe or even Canada and America, you may as well look at a couple of add-ons or detours so you can see some new places. One option well worth considering is Finland. Fly into the capital Helsinki, and from there you can do plenty. Head to Lapland, Finland’s northernmost region, to see the northern lights which are visible nearly all year round. Sleep in ice rooms, get drawn by husky sleighs across vast white fields and – if you really want – leap into icy lakes. Saunas (“sow-naas” as the Finns say it) are popular and it’s the norm to plunge yourself intermittently into cold water during a steamy session. Even I stepped slowly into the grey sea off Helsinki, when the air temperature was two degrees Celsius. The shock disappears quite quickly after a couple of beers (which are also drunk in the saunas!). If you don’t want to take another flight, you can stay in or around Helsinki; aside from the city itself, there are a few interesting towns and rural spots to keep you busy for at least a few days. In the winter, Helsinki is a little bleak and grey, but there are plenty of excellent restaurants, designer shops and innovative museums such as the City Museum. The Design District is fairly expensive for designer clothes and accessories, but there are some interesting and unique items. Everywhere is pretty easy to get to and there’s public transport if you don’t want to walk. Most people seem to speak excellent English. It looks like it would be delightful in summer, too. We stayed at the brand new Hotel Indigo Helsinki, which was lovely – very central, with fantastic beds. I’d forgotten the comfort of European beds! The good thing about a cold country is that they know how to heat the rooms well, but it also means it’s quite misleading when you’re getting dressed. It’s only when you step outside that you realise how cold it is – so, take layers, and add and remove them as required. Wine & Dine Food is a really important part of the culture and social life of Finland. We had a fantastic lunch at the relatively new restaurant Vinkkeli, in the heart of Helsinki’s Kaartinkaupunki district. Our meals were served with a light non-alcoholic drink made from fir trees – similar to wine but even more drinkable, if that’s possible. Many of the dishes have creamy sauces, and there are also creamy soups with the yummiest of breads. You’ll need to walk quite a bit to burn off some of the calories! Elsewhere, Trilby & Chadwick is a secret speakeasy bar based on the days of prohibition, and Juuri is a small and cosy restaurant. Then there are delicatessens, like the one in the Stockmann building, where you can buy smoked fish, a huge variety of cheeses, breads and so on. The Old Market Hall right on the sea has more cheeses, fish and savouries. Porvoo is a medieval town about an hour away from the airport. Not a lot has changed in the main part of the town; many of the houses date back to the 1300s! Streets are cobbled and there are plenty of little shops to keep you busy. Beware the “sweetie shop”, where you can taste-test nearly everything – I ended up with so many bags of chocolate, fudge and caramel creations! Haikko Manor is not far away too; it’s an old home that has been converted to a boutique hotel. We stayed in the standard rooms in the convention section, a new build that houses saunas, steam rooms, plunge pools and even a cryotherapy tank that takes your body down to minus 128 degrees Celsius – I watched while others did it! Meals at Haikko are served in the manor itself, and it’s a gorgeous setting in the large dining room and the beautiful breakfast rooms. The food was excellent and a good change even from all the variety that Asia has to offer. At breakfast there was a choice of lactose-free milk, gluten free breads and plenty of organic offerings too. The countryside near to the capital is a mix of beautiful forests, large lakes and lots of open space and skies. We went on a nature walk near Porvoo; the forest floors are thick mattresses of moss, so springy that I’m sure you could have a good night’s sleep on it. Edible berries are everywhere on the ground, with other not-so- safe-looking mushrooms and flowers. You’ll also find kayak tours and horse-riding available. Apart from plunging into the sea from the vast terraces of Loyly, a beautiful new modern design sauna right on Helsinki’s waterfront, you can hire a jet-ski or take a cruise. It’s this cruise option that seals the deal for this city as a stopover option. Various ships and ferries can take you to a variety of places either up the coast in Finland, or to Stockholm in Sweden, St Petersburg in Russia (which is apparently amazing), or – another one that really appealed to me – to Talin, a medieval city in Estonia. Before this trip I’d never heard of Talin, but it sounds fascinating. The cruise liners even have shops on board, plus shows, plenty of things for children to do, and various eateries. This would be a great way of adding a couple of days to your stopover, letting you see as many as four different countries in the process, with no extra hotel bookings or travel costs other than the cruise.

Is there a secret Lib Dem plan for another coalition with the Tories? The election for party political activists on social media is a rather different beast from the election as anyone normal might experience it. It’s a world of impenetrable memes combined with breathless speculation, mixed with candidatitis-inspired peaks of the greatest hope and troughs of the deepest despair. It’s very easy for tight in-groups to form within these circumstances, and for a belief to quickly circulate and be adopted as true by those groups without any evidence for it. One belief that I’ve seen circulated widely is that Jo Swinson wants nothing more than to take the Lib Dems into another coalition with the Conservatives and this explains everything about Lib Dem strategy. See, for instance, this (it’s the most recent example of it I’ve seen): Are the Lib Dems Going to Punch Themselves in the Face - Again? - Byline Times Let me declare my interest. Between 1994 and 1997, I was the Liberal Democrat Senior Researcher in Parliament. It was a… First, it’s always worth considering that a badly executed campaign strategy might just be a badly executed campaign strategy. If you’ve seen such previous Lib Dem highlights as somehow managing to lose seats in 2010, or 2015’s “Stability. Unity. Decency.” debacle, then the idea that the party might not be the greatest at running general election campaigns isn’t too outlandish. From what I’ve seen the 2019 Lib Dem campaign’s main thrust is a don’t-scare-the-horses strategy with a “plague on your both your houses” message and overall air of trying to project centrist stability and competence in a system that’s lacking them. Part of that strategy involves pointing out that the choice between Johnson and Corbyn for Prime Minister is a terrible one and insisting both are so bad, the party couldn’t support either of them in a hung Parliament. It’s rational on the surface, but fails to take account of the different response it gets from the two sides. “We won’t work with Johnson” gets a Tory shrug and a “like we care, we’re going for a majority” response, while “we won’t work with Corbyn” creates a lot more antipathy with Labour activists who remember Lib Dem attacks on other Labour leaders as well as the coalition and jump to the conclusion that…

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 11, 2022 ) Projected Surge in Revenue Generation: The global healthcare education market is projected to reach USD 125.2 billion by 2025 from an estimated USD 101.2 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 8.4%. Major Growth Driving Factors: The rising demand for digital learning, advancements in the healthcare sector, increased training needs to adapt to the changing technologies in the healthcare industry, and growing adoption of continuing medical education (CME) programs due to stringent regulatory mandates are some of the key factors attributed towards growth of the healthcare education market. However, lack of direct monitoring or face-to-face interactions is likely to pose negative impact on the market growth during the forecast period.

In 2021, the universities and academic centers segment captured the largest share of the healthcare education market. Download PDF Brochure@ The large share of this segment is attributed to the dearth of healthcare workers across the globe, with the demand and supply gap of healthcare workers increasing. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study (2017), only half of all countries have the requisite health workforce required to deliver quality healthcare services, critical to achieving universal health coverage (UHC). As a result, most of the countries are focusing on increasing the number of medical schools and increasing the intake of medical students. Based on delivery mode, the eLearning solutions are expected to register highest CAGR during the forecast period Based on delivery mode, the healthcare education market is divided into classroom-based courses and eLearning solutions. Classroom-based courses segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021, while eLearning solutions are expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. eLearning solutions are becoming an increasingly recognized approach to continuing medical education (CME) for practical and theoretical reasons, owing to their greater flexibility in training schedules, improved accessibility and dissemination, reduced costs and time, greater adaptability to individual learning styles, and easier access to educational materials and updates. Students segment garnered the largest revenue among the different end users of the healthcare education market Based on end users, the healthcare education market is segmented into students, physicians and non-physicians. In 2021, the large share of the students segment can be attributed to the growing awareness of digital education and its positive impact on career growth. Increasing internet penetration and awareness of various online courses among students have led to the increased adoption of education solutions. Benefits such as cost-effectiveness, affordability, and increased flexibility offered by these solutions are expected to further drive the market growth. Geographical Growth Dynamics: North America is expected to dominate the healthcare education market, while registering the highest CAGR during the forecast period The global healthcare education market has been categorized on the basis of four major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. In 2021, North America, comprising the US and Canada, held the leading share of the healthcare education market, followed by Europe. Factors such as the increasing number of CME programs and the rising number of grants and investments by public and private players are driving the market for healthcare education in North America.

If you are trying to start up a new business or expand your current company, you would need the help of a business loan. With the help of a loan, you are able to do essential tasks within your business like secure inventory, hire employees, rent space for operations and other expenses for your business to run smoothly. Some business owners find it a hard time acquiring a business loan for their businesses. This is primarily due to some key factors. If you are having trouble getting your small business loan approved, here are some of the roadblocks that hinder you from getting it from a licensed money lender in Singapore. Poor credit history One of the main factors that any money lender considers before giving a borrower a loan is their credit history. If you have a poor credit report in repaying previous loans, the moneylender might disapprove of your loan with the fear that you would not pay them back promptly. In terms of your credit score, 720 is the magic number that increases chances of getting an easy cash loan, and if your credit score is below the magic number, then your chances decrease. This statistic was received through a study done by Brian Cairns from ProStrategix Consulting, which features small businesses and startups’ services. To improve your chances of getting your business loan approved, it is incredibly vital to building a powerful personal credit score. One tip would be to pay off any outstanding debt before applying for the next business loan. Limited cash flow Cash flow essentially refers to the amount of money and cash equivalents transferred within the business. Moneylenders typically look at your company’s cashflow to observe the amount of cash in hand. This helps them evaluate if you would be able to repay back the loan. Therefore, one tip would be to consider this factor to gauge yourself if you would be able to manage to pay off the loan. Failing to have an attractive business plan Another crucial factor that determines if your business loan gets approved is if your company has a solid and attractive business plan. Having such a plan shows the moneylenders that your business has a plan and can bring in revenue, which helps repay the loan. That significantly increases the chances of getting a loan. The lack of a solid business plan reduces the moneylenders’ possibility of giving out the loan for your business as they are putting their business at risk when you have no firm plan on repaying the loan. A lot of loan applications Some small business owners apply for several loans from different moneylenders to cover all their business’ expenses. However, most business owners do not know that these moneylenders can check the other loan applications you have submitted. When they see that you have sent in applications for many money lenders, it raises a lot of questions for the moneylender, and they see it as a red flag. Therefore, it lowers your chances of getting a business loan approved. This factor is something that most business owners ignore. Not being able to present the needed paperwork for a loan application, for instance, can sometimes disqualify you from getting a loan. Especially if you seem unsure of your company’s documents or finances, it gives moneylenders the impression that you may not have legal or sufficient documents on hand, as such, affecting your eligibility when applying for a loan. Neglecting expert advice Another thing that lenders take a keen interest on is whether you have sought some guidance with relevant knowledgeable advisors. Some of the sources you get advice from include accountants or business networking groups. You can research their websites too. Essentially, giving off a good impression increases your chances of gaining the trust of the moneylenders and getting the loan approved. Failing to do research At times, aspiring small business owners find themselves in urgent situations where they require an urgent loan. As a result, they choose the first moneylender that they come across, without doing any research or analysis. When it comes to loans, proper research is critical as it allows you to find a suitable loan lender that suits the needs of your business. With a better understanding of what you need to avoid when applying for a business loan, it’ll allow you to obtain the necessary funds you need to finance your business.

10 Amazing Shelter Websites Designed to Inspire Compassion. Professionalism. Safety. Love. Success. There are a number of different messages we need to convey through our websites and therefore a lot to consider when creating or updating a Shelter site. Understanding, and clearly communicating with varied audiences of adopters, donors, potential volunteers or employees as well as trustees can be overwhelming and lend itself to a confusing or challenging website journey. As with most things, there is a formula for success in designing a website that will make your Shelter stand out and it starts with knowing there is no ego in site design. Your website is about your site visitor and the goal of having them leave your site satiated, journey fulfilled. If they enjoy their experience, they’ll tell people about the ease of the process, and when it comes time for that person to adopt, volunteer or donate, your Shelter will be top of mind. A rock-solid website from layout design, to language, to content, to imagery is critical to your Shelter’s success and credibility. It’s your calling card in a crowded virtual world, and as we move to an even more online society, it’s time to evaluate where you are in the crowd, and what it will take to get you to the top. There are some things that just are innate to human behavior, like chewing, breathing, or loving dogs, we are programmed to know and understand that the nav bar is at the top of the page, the menu lives in the top left or top right corner of the page. Don’t mess with certain tenants and intuitive placement of common actions is one of those things. Simply put, don’t make your visitors work too hard to explore your site, make it easy for them to enjoy and find what they need, serve it up to them. If they are forced to work too hard to find what they’re looking for, the “X out” action is one everyone can do blindfolded. Keep your site clean, uncluttered and put your most important information front and center. If you are hosting your Gala or in desperate need of funds make sure your visitor knows that, they will be much more inclined to help. If your Shelter is on a schedule of regularly updating content and landing page images, maybe it’s time to bring in some engaging video as it helps audiences relate to and engage with your content, and can boost conversions and action by 80% in some cases. We have had the pleasure of getting to know a lot of amazing shelters over the past few weeks, and we have been blown away by some best in class websites that are doing it right. Check them out: SPCA Northern Nevada ~ From first glance, this site with its warm color palette and engaging animal video brings the visitor immediately in. It’s a site that calls for exploration, and from page to page throughout the journey delivers important information effortlessly. Marin Humane Society ~ For an independent Shelter that helps more than 10,000 domestic animals per year, ease of use for visitors is key to keeping them on the site, and getting them where they need to be. This site is clean, easy to navigate and incredibly current. Life Line Animal ~ The landing page carousel delivers the message “Homebound, to Home Bound” with an image of a stocky, smiley blue nose pitbull galloping towards the visitor. From that moment, an animal lover is captivated. This site wins on first impression and delivers page after page. Houston SPCA ~ Robust, engaging and purposeful best describes the Houston SPCA site. Not simply easy to navigate, but an outstanding use of video on the landing page is likely to elicit action from site visitors. Animal Welfare League Arlington ~ I don’t know about you, but a video of a senior dog receiving love and looking happy on a landing page will keep me coming back every time. Humane Society of Southeast Missouri ~ Ahead of the design curve, this site is hip, funky, sleek, easy to navigate and frankly fun to dig into. The capital campaign video on the home page allows for the Shelter’s mission to be delivered in a modern, unforgettable way. Enid SPCA ~ A perfect example of keeping it clean, uncluttered and easy to navigate with a focus on family. Plenty of Pit Bulls ~ As a breed specific site, the mission of rescue and rehabilitation is clear and the crisp photography coupled with the storytelling deliver that mission beautifully. Oregon Humane Society ~ Bold colors, coupled with consistent messaging and an up to the moment adoption counter makes this site a pleasure to discover. Not ready to adopt, OHS offers plenty of other ways to help animals with a simple click. Maryland SPCA ~ Information and data is front and center on the MDSPCA website, delivered in a dynamic, attention grabbing way. The numbers are impressive with a 95% live release rate, and nearly 7k spay/neuters per year, this organization is working hard to connect pets to families and are excited to spread their news.

The most important things for homebuyers to consider when purchasing a home are: - Being able to afford a home based upon one’s situation in life - Not over-paying for a home based upon its market value - A home’s location – What do the neighborhoods, school districts and surrounding area look like? - A house’s age and the age of its components Notice how security is an aspect you can’t ignore with the prospect of purchasing a home. It’s only natural to have hesitation about buying a home as it’s a big investment. Furthermore, feeling a sense of security goes beyond the financial commitments, which are required from buyers as they move forward with their purchase. If you lack security, you’ll be without peace taking another step toward homeownership. It’s also important to note that three of these four considerations listed above directly relate to money. Tops on the list is paramount, because if your circumstances in life won’t allow it, you can’t or perhaps shouldn’t purchase a home. Home affordability comes in all shapes and sizes. What might be affordable to buyer A, isn’t feasible to buyer B. Being able to afford a home relates to the ability to budget properly for each and every cost associated with the purchase. Your debt-to-income ratio might be the surest way to prove to yourself as well as a lender, you’re able to follow-through with a home purchase. Besides your debt-to-income ratio, you should also reflect upon how much of a mortgage you can afford? You may be approved for borrowing a certain sum, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you should take on that loan. The underwriters who dabble in rating an applicant’s ability to purchase will ultimately examine a buyer’s gross income, outstanding debt, assets and liabilities. They’re going to probe to see what demands have been placed on the buyer’s income. They’ll also forecast, as best they can, to ensure the bank’s ability to get paid back in the future isn’t at risk. Secondly, buyers and sellers have been more cautious with the drastic increases in home appreciation since the onset of the pandemic. While the pandemic has vanished, home prices continue their upward climb. Since the beginning of COVID, when real estate sales were restricted, home prices have risen 54.8% in the Greater Scranton market.* A market recently named as the most affordable in the country. Again, while there are sales to be had right now, in fact we’re entering a time of the year where homebuyers will discover some of the best premiums around, buyers should exercise prudence. How long do they intend to live in the place they’re thinking about buying? Their offering on a property may not align with its value and might place undue hardship on the homeowner, if they need to sell a few years after their purchase. We would recommend living in a home for at least seven or more years at the risk of taking a loss. Though homes are generally a solid investment, there are no guarantees. If you need the freedom to move at a moment’s notice, within a shorter time frame from when you purchased the home, you might want to refrain from buying until your circumstances change. For some buyers, a home’s location is the first litmus test it must pass. If the setting isn’t appealing or the property – though it has virtually everything the buyer is looking for – is in a non-ideal section of town or the purchaser has a family/children and thus schools are high on their list, then it’s hard to overlook locale. We would suggest reviewing pros and cons of various listings as it relates to their whereabouts. You can’t change their bearings, so start there and rate how important distances to work, school, daycare and shopping are, for instance. Look into traffic patterns and noise levels in particular parts of town. If school districts are important to you, target homes in the districts you would prefer to live. Scope out the home’s surroundings. Catch a glimpse of the area on the weekends, during the week, day and night. Is the neighborhood kid or pet friendly? Is the home in a walkable community? Finally, the vast majority of homebuyers aren’t acquiring a new or newer construction home, one that’s less than ten years old. Being that many buyers are moving into a house that has been around the block, we’d certainly recommend a home inspection as a contingency to the purchase. Besides that, over time, a home’s elements begin to display patterns of behavior and likewise, deterioration. What parts of a home should you keep your eyes on? Windows, roof, HVAC (heating/cooling) system, foundation, to name a few, but again, call in the professionals, such as a reputable home inspector. They’re more than capable of assessing the age of a house’s components/appliances. A few decades after the construction of a home, repairs become more common, and thus as a prospective buyer it’s important to understand what your yearly maintenance/repair costs might resemble. * Greater Scranton Board of REALTORS® stats; median homes sales for March 2020, October 2022

Korean skin and hair care never fails me. It improve my scalp issue and I have more healthier hair+scalp. ¡It doesn't let my skin feeling dry at all! i would buy it again It was very good and nice Wow, this clean balm is amazing! It cleanses so well and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. It's one of the few ones that didn't give me any breakouts Great cleansing oil. Removes make-up very easily - even waterproof mascara/eyeliner and matte/long-lasting lipsticks. Feels nice on the skin, emulsifies easily and rinses off easily as well. Doesn't leave any oily residue on the skin. I recommend this for anyone looking for a good oil-based cleanser, especially for removing make-up. This sunscreen is great. It's very lightweight and not sticky at all. It also acts as a very good make-up base. It doesn't leave a white cast and it doesn't peel. It feels more like a moisturizer, rather than a sunscreen. I love this moisturiser. Smells slightly minty but easily absorbed by the skin and not sticky. Great last step to your skincare routine. Not recommended for dry skin though. Loving the product so far, very moisturising and soothing at the same time, also a little goes a long way with this moisturiser which is a massive plus! (For anyone who might be wondering, I have an oily skin type). Repeat purchase for years now :) This is for sure the best vitamin C i ever tried , it brightens your skin , nourishes and hydrates. Love almost every product from peaches and creme shop . 🏼🌸 This brand is fantastic for people who suffer from acne or people who like smooth products on the skin I love using ceramics and Centella Asiatica as ingredients post-acne. So this product has worked on my skin. Fantastic cleaner using it for the first time. It's gentle and leaves your skin smooth. I use foundation on my makeup and it definitely removes all impurities of the day. so soft and nice on my skin. helped with my redness and is perfect on sensitive skin. don’t forget to use on damp skin and tap!

|The talented Cousin E made my hat| Did you notice I went all missing on Friday? I hadn't planned to but, you know, life! This was a very IMPORTANT weekend because my Mommy #1 turned TWENTY-ONE years old. She really did. And that is Cause for a big celebration. Mommy #2 and I were very very BUSY getting things prepared for her celebration. Oh - no. She was NOT having a PAWty. I am afraid that turning 21 is when you celebrate with your FRIENDS and not your mom and dog. It was hard to accept. But, you know . . . BUT we did have a FAMILY DINNER to celebrate. It included my Cousins E&C and Cousin E's fiance J. It also included Aunts B&T and, of course Mommy #2. The HUMANS went out for dinner and then brought BUNDT cakes home for the candle blowing. I was so happy for Mommy #1. I only wish I could have stayed with her at university. She didn't think it would work out this time. It is a touchy situation because I am not her official comfort pet. If I were then I could go pretty much everywhere with her and when she needs to calm down (she gets anxious) I'd be there. HOWEVER, the school year is still young. HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY MOMMY. I loves loves loves you so MUCH! Molly no longer needs to wear a protective collar - plastic or flower - because today she got her stitches out. She is doing great. It turns out they also removed this rather large fatty tumor she had on her chest along with half a pound of bladder stones. She dropped over half a pound in weight right after the surgery! But she is doing great and TOMORROW she gets a bath. This may not be the most exciting thing to her, but for the rest of us - believe me it is. We are so happy MY VET came through and took care of her problem. Molly is a much happier puppy now. Me? I am just trying to figure out what to do next. I have so much I WANT to accomplish today, but it is MONDAY and you know how that goes. Maybe I will take a mini nap and think on it. Yes, that seems like a good idea.

Students can save money and benefit from a flexible learning format with affordable online degrees. An increasing number of schools feature online programs in their academic offerings. Learners can pursue affordable higher education to begin or enhance their careers. The following ranking highlights the top affordable colleges online. We selected these schools from a thorough research process focusing on what makes an affordable online college degree a worthwhile pursuit. For more information on distance learning, visit our ranking of the top online colleges. Tuition and enrollment data were sourced from College Navigator and the online colleges' respective official websites. Questions About Online College Q. What is the cheapest online university? A. Students who are looking for affordable college options should consider looking into in-state or online courses. Students can also make college more affordable by applying for scholarships or grants. Q. Is getting a degree online cheaper? A. While some online colleges offer a lower rate per credit than in person courses, often online degrees are cheaper because students do not need to pay for on-campus housing, meal plans, commuting, and other fees that are required when attending school on campus. Q. Can you get an online college degree for free? A. There are a few online colleges that offer free online tuition, including University of the People. Students who are interested in taking classes for no credit can also find online courses available for little to no cost. Featured Online Schools How Much Does Online College Cost? According to the Education Data Initiative, in 2021 the average cost of an online bachelor's degree was $38,496, an out-of-state degree was $54,183, and an online private college degree cost $60,593 on average. Students who are pursuing a bachelor's degree online can expect to be in school for about four years, some programs offer accelerated or summer courses which allow students to graduate sooner. While students do not need to pay for on-campus housing, meal plans, or commuting costs, they may need to pay for technology, online materials, or books. Students should also look into any in-person requirements, some programs may require students to attend orientation or a lab on-campus. Online College vs On-Campus Experience Students who are interested in online college can benefit from course flexibility. Most online colleges offer both asynchronous and synchronous coursework. Asynchronous courses mean the students can learn at their own pace, generally this means watching videos, viewing seminars, and completing assignments by a designated deadline. Synchronous courses mean the class will meet a designated time every week or other week. Generally students who prefer self paced programs should seek out asynchronous courses, while students who prefer conventional courses should enroll in synchronous courses. If an on-campus experience is still appealing to students, then a hybrid schedule may work well. Hybrid courses mean students complete part of the course online and then go to campus for a lab or in-person meetings. This type of coursework allows students to still have an on-campus experience, without needing to be on-campus for all courses.

An entity unknown, an anonymous proposition, a collective, existing only to pummel one’s ears with vicious walls of noise – not since the heady days of the Norwegian inner circle has a death cult of such malevolence existed. In the decade since their formation, Dragged Into Sunlight have become the leading proposition in UK extreme metal today. As the UK extreme metal scene has faded into a tired parody of itself, the collective has led the way for a new generation of extremity, pushing the boundaries of the origins and conclusions of their vicious noise in an age in which genre is a fading concept. The group, filling their ranks with a plethora of collaborators, occultists, and extreme metal alumni are one of the few daring to innovate – be it through their public obfuscation, dimly lit live theatrics, the monolithic audial torture of their output, or the tireless innovation running through their depraved walls of noise. We caught up with one of the Dragged’ cabal to pry at the ideologies, creative processes, and abstraction behind the collective’s noise. You have an ever expanding roster of members of contributors/members, why is this? Might you refer to yourselves as a collective as opposed to a band? Possibly – Dragged Into Sunlight has grown steadily into a home for artists who seek to create relentlessly without the boundaries of pleasing third parties or fitting in. Some musicians are better at not fitting in, finding other musicians who share a similar mindset is not only part of the challenge but also part of the reward. With added weight, there are barbaric levels of momentum in the themes that we are able to create and promote as a collective entity. Your music is incredibly abstract, how would you define Dragged Into Sunlight’s sound? If we were able to define what it is that we do, it would likely prove self-fulfilling. Labelling predetermines a product – if you want to capture a certain flavour you utilise predetermined ingredients and tools to create a familiar taste. If you strive to create something new, it’s either going to taste great like peanut butter and weed or like total shit. There’s a little more thrill to the chase, so perhaps abstract isn’t so bad. You have a somewhat more extravagant live show than most other live acts, why is this? What influences are behind the weirdness and colour of your live shows? Dragged Into Sunlight is the final venture for those involved and on that basis, there are elements that certain individuals seek to incorporate as a bucket list. The live show continues to evolve however, that is part of the challenge, and whilst many artists feel that their live show should be indicative of their recorded sound, the same approach would prove fruitless for those involved in Dragged Into Sunlight and is better reversed. Those attending shows are paying to see something different, it would be a lot easier to replicate a recorded sound but that would also be a compromise to the fundamentals that underpin Dragged Into Sunlight as a concept. You can stream a record, you cannot stream the corresponding live experience, and with Dragged Into Sunlight, it is that lack of grounds for comparison which justifies fans of extreme music leaving the house and supporting those bands that strive to do something a little different. Do any of your members dabble in the occult or is it purely a thematic thing for Dragged Into Sunlight? Suffice to say, members dabble in all sorts. We are a collective of not just dark interest but obsession with all matters extreme. Are you influenced more by the old-school Autopsy/Incantation version of deathly doom, or is the influence of more modern doom/sludge/drone a more prominent influence for you guys? It is certainly the likes of Autopsy, Incantation, and Demigod that continue to inspire. That is not to say that the more modern doom, sludge and drone does not influence the sound that Dragged Into Sunlight creates but perhaps that those involved are of a generation where bands such as Autopsy carried a more relevant significance. 2012’s Widowmaker and N.V., your 2015 split with Gnaw Their Tongues, have a much more prominent doom metal influence, and a more melodic strain of tonality running through these releases, than the previous two releases, what’s behind this? Widowmaker as a recording focused on themes of loneliness whilst N.V. draws on the negative and industrial chill of harsh noise with elements of grindcore weaved in. Both [2009’s] Terminal Aggressor and [2011’s] Hatred For Mankind centred on frenzied aggression and a fuller sound. Such a frenzied approach could be said to allow for a more diverse but less coherent sound… You can read the full interview with Dragged Into Sunlight in our Issue 1 Redux. Check it out here.

Every year with every season, trends vary and for anyone who is into fashion, in fact, even if you are not, it is a very exciting time to study the market, the trends of the season with all the little details and not-so-little ones, and all the styles and hoopla that will prevail. Spring 2021, I am already noticing a 'New' trend of thinking globally. What does that mean, you ask? Well! Designers, photographers, models from around the world are now capturing the season's best look and trends from New York to Shanghai and everywhere in between. Until we all can comfortably travel again and wear our Marni frocks in Mexico and our Givenchy jeans in Los Angeles, trying out spring’s new trends at home will have to do. If there’s been one fashion lesson learned during lockdown, it’s that personal style doesn’t disappear in difficult times. Connecting your personal style from your existing wardrobe and pairing that perfect jewelry with it, is something that sure will stay in fashion this year, until the pandemic leaves us forever. Sharing the top 5 trends if not all, that got higher votes and bigger audience appeal. # 1 Trend - Show Some Leg At Miu Miu, Miuccia Prada made a strong case for a micro miniskirt, outfitting Lila Grace Moss in a bejeweled mini to open the brand’s spring 2021 digital show. Plenty of other designers agree that a long leg is the silhouette of the season, with Chloé offering A-line minis and Etro applying its signature paisley print to cut-off jean shorts. Of course, few do super-short with as much verve as Versace; Donatella mixed a clash of prints and patterns on a flirtatious pleated skirt. Sharing the perfect jewelry from Mia Siya that will go beautifully with this fun spring look. 1. Kyanite Necklace With Chakra Gemstones 2. Anika Gold Bracelets With Corals # 2 Trend - Statement-Making Trousers 2021 is all about finally, giving up on those leggings and sweatpants and switch to more fashionable alternatives such as the wide leg, roomy trousers that exudes style and poise. Brands such as Louis Vuitton to Jacquemus to the affordable online collection Raey. For more daring dressers, there are neon green cargos from Kim Shui and khakis painted with delicate tropical flowers at Oscar de la Renta.

Here, we understand the concept of Factor Supply to whole economy, Supply of factors to an particular industry in detail. Do you have similar website/ Product? Show in this page just for only $2 (for a month) To understand the Concept of Factor Supply, we first need to understand about - Supply of Factors to the Whole Economy. Supply of Factors to a Particular Industry. Now, we will discuss it one by one- - Supply of Factors to the Whole Economy: It indicates three factors of production that is Land, Labour and Capital. we discuss about it one by one. Land: According to Classical economists land is considered as free gift of nature and therefore it is said that its supply is fixed or perfectly inelastic in nature. There is no point in including all available area under supply of land. For example- In context of agriculture, we concerned only with the total supply of cultivable land and this supply is not perfectly inelastic. Labour: Labour also important factor of production. Supply of labour implies total number of hours the people of a country are willing to work at a given wage rate. Supply of labour depends upon three things - (a) size of population, (b) ratio of working population to total production and (c) hours of work. Means, as wage increases, the supply of labour also increases. Capital: Capital is man made factor and its supply consists of the stock of existing machines, plant, equipment, etc. During boom, addition to capital stock takes place. During slump, capital stock is reduced. - Supply of Factors to a Particular Industry: Some capital goods can be used for variety of purposes, therefore, it is mobile in nature. Labour's mobility depends on many economic and non economic factors. Labour supply tends to increase in the long run in those occupations where wages are relatively higher. It clearly indicates that, the supply curve of a factor in a particular industry or occupation is upward sloping, indicating that supply increases with price as shown in below mentioned figure- As in figure, it clearly indicates that total supply available to particular industry that is OQ1 when its price OP1, it increases to OQ2 when price is OP2. Supply of Factors to the Whole Economy Factors of Production Supply of Factors to a Particular Industry. Marginal Productivity theory of distribution - Factor Supply. Tech writer at NewsandStory

Following the extension of the lockdown for a week by President Mohammadu Buhari, Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has extended the total lockdown in the State for another one week. The governor also adjusted the relaxation window by adding three hours to the seven hours being given to the residents of the state before now. Abiodun, who said this during a broadcast held at his Oke-Mosan office in Abeokuta, while giving update on COVID 19 in the state, explained that his decision was in line with the order of the President Muhammadu Buhari. He said, “In line with Mr. President’s address to the entire nation, the lockdown is still in place. However, the lockdown will begin to be relaxed gradually and in phases from Monday, 4th May, in consideration of the peculiarity of the different States”. “To this end, our relaxation window remains Monday, 4th May; Wednesday, 6th May; and Friday, 8th May. The new time frame will, however, now be from 7am to 5pm on those days. This will give our people ample time to conduct necessary economic activities and to get to their various homes before the commencement of the daily curfew as directed by Mr. President”, Abiodun said. “For the avoidance of doubt, the curfew is from 8pm to 6am everyday and will be strictly enforced”. It is obvious that no nation can survive a total lockdown of economic activities for an elongated time and therefore all we can do is to strike a balance between public health safety and economic welfare of the citizenry. No doubt, this is a fragile situation. Therefore, it is very important that all of us adhere strictly to recommendations of professionals during this delicate period, especially, and at all times, as we go about our daily economic activities”. The governor reiterated that “the use of face mask is now compulsory in public. We have procured over one million face masks that we are distributing across the State to groups such as Market Women, Artisans, Transport Unions, Law Enforcement Agencies, Civil Servants and religious groups among others. Nevertheless, everybody has a personal responsibility to procure and wear a face mask”. “The COVID-19 task force at a meeting with market leaders set up COVID-19 enforcement committees in our various markets. These enforcement committees have been empowered to enforce physical distancing, the use of face masks and the deployment of hand washing facilities and hand sanitizers at strategic locations within our various markets”. “Let me emphasize that those handling food items must also wear hand gloves and maintain high level of personal and hand hygiene in addition to wearing face masks”. “At another meeting with transport operators, we inaugurated a joint task force of transporters and security agencies to ensure that transporters and passengers wear face masks and enforce the strict compliance of no interstate travel, except vehicles on essential services with a maximum of five persons which includes the driver. All these persons must provide proof of their connection with the vehicle and the particular service the vehicle provides”. ” We will not condone any act that could sabotage the ban on interstate travel by any of these vehicles or persons on essential services. For avoidance of doubt, there will be no interstate travels whatsoever for persons living in Ogun State and working in other states, including Lagos”. “For intrastate transport, operators are permitted to carry a maximum of half (50%) of the passenger capacity. Specifically, a taxi cab can carry only three passengers, with one in front and a maximum of 2 in the rear seat. 14 seater buses must carry no more than 7 passengers spread across the rows. Tricycle can carry a maximum of 2 passengers, whilst okada riders can carry only one passenger at a time. In all cases, drivers/riders must not only wear face masks, they must ensure that their passengers also wear. Failure to comply with these guidelines will lead to the confiscation of the vehicles or okada”. “As we go on to relax the lockdown gradually and in phases, let me state that we cannot afford a blanket lift on all aspects of our lives because of the inherent dangers”. The governor emphasised that “All educational institutions remain closed till further notice. However, students in public schools will continue their learning via Digiclass. 30% of public servants are to resume for work on the days of windows of relaxation of lockdown. Head of Service will issue circular providing details. As usual, all essential service personnel will continue to work notwithstanding the lockdown”. “All public religious gatherings remained banned. All pubs, clubs, stadia, public pools, spars, gyms, salons, etc., and indeed, any assembly of more than fifteen persons remain banned till further notice. However, restaurants may open on the approved days for take-out meals only”. “We, however, do not object to naming rites of newborns and burial rites of our deceased loved ones. But such gatherings must not be more than the prescribed 15 which includes even the officiating priests and all attendees must observe social distancing”, he added. “We have to continue to ensure that we protect public health and safety by all means possible. Consequently, we have established mobile courts where offenders will be prosecuted promptly. Let me state, that we will not shy away from visiting the full weight of the law on anyone found culpable. The punishments will be fines, community service or both”.

Above: Perseverance touches down on Mars aided by a jet-powered sky crane in this artist rendering. Credit: NASA-JPL. After more than six months in flight, NASA’s Perseverance rover will touch down on the Red Planet on Feb. 18 at noon PST, beginning a new era of scientific research on Mars. Perseverance’s core mission is to explore the possibility of life on Mars at an impact site known as Jezero Crater—a 28-mile-wide cauldron just north of the planet’s equator. Scientists believe this area once held a lake capable of supporting life. The rover will collect the first rock and soil samples to return to Earth for further study in the 2030s. Perseverance is accompanied by the first planetary helicopter, Ingenuity, which is slated to attempt five test flights in the thin Martian atmosphere. Before this robotic duo can get to work, NASA must overcome the challenge of landing them safely on the Martian surface. And landing on Mars is exceptionally hard. With four successful landings under its belt, NASA has a promising track record given that Red Planet landings attempted by other countries only succeed about 40% of the time. Every step in the intricate landing sequence must go right to safely place the $2.7 billion rover—the most advanced ever built—and its airborne counterpart on the ground. Upon entry of Mars’ atmosphere, Perseverance will need to slow from a blazing speed of 12,500 mph to 2 mph using a parachute and powered descent engine. The landing segment of the descent will rely on a jet-powered sky crane, lowering the rover to the surface using three cables. This technique successfully landed NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars in 2012. The entire sequence of entry, descent and landing will happen over the course of seven minutes—also called the “seven minutes of terror,” because Perseverance will be unable to communicate with NASA until after it reaches the ground. Mars will be a hotspot for robotic landings in February. Two additional landings will follow Perseverance within days: the UAE’s first interplanetary probe Hope, and China’s first probe, lander and rover mission, Tianwen-1. NASA will broadcast the Perseverance rover landing live beginning at 11:15 a.m. PST on Feb. 18.

Last Updated on December 8, 2022 by Hammad Hassan Camping is an excellent way to connect with nature, and if you are camping with friends and family, it is a great way to bond. However, roughing it in the great outdoors can be tough if you’re not prepared. However, these 10 items will help make every camping trip enjoyable. A Sleeping Bag or Mattress After a long day of hiking, swimming, and exploring, you need to get a restful night of sleep so you can wake up refreshed and ready for more adventure. If you are going to spend the nights under the stars, you need a comfortable sleeping bag, and if you are camping in an unsecured site, you will probably be camping in your RV, and a comfortable RV mattress will come in handy. Whether you’re taking photos of the stunning scenery or recording videos of your hike, a camera or a smartphone can help you hold on to the experience long after you’ve left the campground. A camera can also be a useful tool for navigation. If you get lost, you can use your photos or videos to retrace your steps and find your way back to the campsite. A Good Tent A cheap, flimsy tent may keep the rain and bugs out, but it will also be uncomfortable and cramped. In contrast, a well-designed tent will be lightweight and easy to set up while also providing plenty of space for campers to stretch out and relax. While at it, make sure you bring with you a tarp. You can use it to make a comfortable sleeping surface and protect your gear from the elements. A Flashlight or Headlamp You can use a flashlight for tasks like finding your way around in the dark and signaling for help if you get lost. A headlamp is especially useful because it frees up your hands for other tasks. A flashlight or headlamp can also be a valuable tool for exploring your surroundings after dark. Many animals are active at night, and you may see things that you would miss during the day. While you may be tempted to just wear your regular sneakers, investing in a good pair of hiking boots can make all the difference in your comfort and safety. Not only do they provide support and protection for your feet, but they also help to keep you from slipping and falling on wet or uneven ground. In addition, hiking boots can help to keep your feet warm and dry in cold or wet weather. Bug Spray or Repellents No one likes getting bugged by mosquitoes, especially when trying to enjoy a peaceful night. In addition to being annoying, these pesky insects can also transmit diseases. Be sure to choose a bug spray or repellent that contains an active ingredient like DEET or picaridin, and apply it liberally to exposed skin before heading outdoors. A First-aid Kit Accidents can happen at any time, and it’s always better to be prepared. The contents of a first-aid kit will vary, but there are some essential items that every kit should have, including bandages and antiseptic. Bandages are useful for minor cuts and scrapes, while antiseptic wipes can help to prevent infection. While some campers choose to cook over an open fire, others prefer the convenience and control a camp stove offers. Camp stoves are fueled by various methods, including propane, white gas, and wood. In addition to being portable, camp stoves are also typically cheaper and easier to set up than traditional fires. Catching a cold can ruin the mood for the entire trip. Even if the forecast is for sunny skies, it’s always a good idea to bring along a sweater or jacket just in case the temperature dips at night. And if rain is in the forecast, be sure to pack a raincoat and waterproof shoes. Spending time outdoors is part of an amazing adventure, which means you will be susceptible to the harmful effects of the sun. UV rays can cause premature aging and skin cancer, so it is important to protect yourself from them. Wearing sunscreen with an SPF will help block harmful rays and keep your skin healthy. Whether camping in the woods, at the beach, or in your backyard, there are a few key items that can make or break your outdoor adventure. Whether you’re new to camping or a pro, these 10 items will help ensure that your next camping trip is a delight.

Within one month after the start of the offshore construction works, the first foundation of the Northwester 2 wind farm has been installed on 30 July 2019 by the jack-up installation vessel Vole au vent. The first foundation is composed of a monopile that is 76 meters long and has a diameter of almost 8 meters. The monopile weighs around 900 tonnes and the transition piece which is mounted on the monopile weighs circa 280 tonnes. Both are produced and assembled at the fabrication yard of the Danish steel contractor Bladt in Aalborg, after which they are shipped to the harbor of Oostende for load out to the Vole au Vent pictured here. Once offshore, the monopile is hammered up to 37 meters into the seabed and then the transition piece is bolted onto the monopile. The foundation forms the basis for the wind turbines that will be installed from October this year onwards. Before installing the foundation, the vessel Thor Express has deployed a double bubble curtain on the seabed around the installation area. This bubble curtain significantly reduces the noise produced by the hammering operation. Northwester 2 is a project company holding a 219MW concession in the Belgian territorial waters. Current shareholders are Parkwind (70%) and the Japanese industrial group Sumitomo Corporation (30%). Parkwind, has been in charge of the development and is managing construction and operational activities. The company is headquartered in Leuven (Belgium) and will operate from the Ostend harbor.

Let’s humanise marketing automation Marketing Automation is not an extinction level event for marketers There is a growing belief among computer scientists that machines will soon reach the condition of “artificial general intelligence” and match humans in their intellectual capacity. The Future of Life Institute in the US and the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at Cambridge university, among other august bodies, have been set up to explore the risks to humanity. In the here and now of digital marketing, we are struggling to come to terms with the implications of marketing automation. Is it the answer to our real-time prayers or the beginning of the end for marketing jobs as we know them? Is resistance futile? Only time will tell. In the meantime, it is worth exploring all options in pursuit of better customer experiences. Marketing automation has the potential to: - Reduce marketing costs to minimal levels - Increase ROMI to optimal levels - Streamline marketing operations - Engage customers in real-time But before marketing automation can be put to work, you have to work out what you want from it. It’s not a tech problem or a people problem, it’s an objective problem As discussed in The Rise of the Micro Marketing Machine, marketing automation is developing a “Skills gap that is even greater than the tech gap.” The first gap however is not the embryonic skills of the marketing automation professional but rather the project initiator’s ability to assess the potential of the rapidly expanding range automation tools and platforms. If you look at the potential candidates in terms of revenue, the hierarchy might look like this: - Unica (now part of IBM) - Silverpop (now part of IBM) If you look at the potential candidates in terms of customer numbers, the hierarchy might look like this: If you look at the potential candidates in terms of recommendations by 1000 marketing automation users, the hierarchy might look like this: You may notice the absence of names such as Adobe Marketing Cloud and Microsoft dynamics CRM et al? The fact is, the number of mergers and acquisitions combined with new entrants brings a constant state of flux to the sector and makes any list practically redundant at the point of publishing. So you could simply opt to go with the current leaders in the field, throw your lot in with the fast rising contenders; put your trust in the high-performers or start with a niche specialist. The permutations are overwhelming. The key is to narrow down your options by considering the following questions: - How does marketing automation fit into our long-term business plans and marketing strategy? - Do we clearly understand how to balance outbound and inbound content marketing contexts that automation will create? - Can we identify a primary marketing automation tool or system or collection off tools from different systems that is right for our business, capabilities, systems, silos and resources (financial and human)? - Have we mapped and aligned our sales, marketing and CRM processes to such an extent that stakeholder buy-in for a marketing automation system is an equally desirable decision for all stakeholders within the business? - Does our data deliver a single-point view of the customer or is data dispersed across a collection of legacy-driven in-house and necessity-driven cloud-based data points? - Is your marketing automation agenda driven by the need for brand activation and acquisition optimisation; sophisticated lead nurturing and qualified conversion control or personalised retention activities that recognise and reward customer advocacy, collaboration and loyalty? - Do you have the systems and people in place to align data use, content development and analytics across web, email, mobile and social channels? - Are you a customer-centric and media-neutral thinker, capable of detecting the key issues in any market context, defining precise and realistic objectives, creating inspirational strategies, delivering actionable and accountable tactical plans and providing detailed cost projections, response metrics and ROMI accounts? By questioning our motivations regarding our desire for marketing automation and being realistic about capabilities and the potential benefits and difficulties, both practical and political, we stand a better chance of surviving the transition. When considering the implementation of marketing automation projects, it is also worth considering three equally important factors: time management, striving for achievement and situational optimism. Leaving aside the months of due diligence in assessing potential marketing automation partners and systems and gaining approvals within your business, there are other time-consuming factors to consider, such as: synching the platform with the CRM system; creating email, landing page and form templates; setting up email DKIM and SPF validation systems; developing DNS mapping for landing pages and tracking codes for the content management system, building testing experiments for landing pages, training users to set up, run, evaluate and report on test campaigns before a system-wide roll-out. Striving for achievement During this time, pressure for the successful delivery of your marketing automation project will increase in direct proportion to the proximity of the rollout date when investment without quantifiable return reaches its peak. Remaining focused on the original (hopefully scope-creep-free) objective helps reduce mounting anxiety, but having prior buy-in from a well-informed CEO and senior stakeholders together with constant updates on progress against burndown project management charts will ease pressure on you and your rapidly expanding team. As John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens when you are busy planning something else.” In pursuit of a problem-free transition to a life in marketing automation, mistakes will happen. The Econsultancy article, When Marketing Automation Goes Wrong, points out a long list of wrong massage, wrong person, wrong time faux pas. At such times, the leaders of any marketing automation project will be faced with hopefully temporal personal doubts and potential told-you-so criticism from resisters. Remind yourself that the French phrase faux pas literally translates as “False step” and that as Confucius advises, “Even the longest journey begins with but a single step.” Recognise the error as an opportunity to learn and move on. As Sir Kenneth Robinson, a celebrated educator and star of several of the most popular Ted talks states, ‘If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original. And therein lies the bottom line: the goal of marketing automation is to find the most original solution to each individual customer requirement in any given moment. This requires technology and human resources to work together in ways that is the stuff of dreams for previous generations of marketers. For me, The Power of Dreams campaign by Honda serves as a reminder to all of us climbing the foothills of marketing automation – it’s not how we see the world that drives us but rather how it could be. Hence the development of the CYBORGg collective, a group of digital marketing specialists dedicated to the humanisation of marketing automation. In our opinion, resistance to the essential role of human intelligence in marketing automation is futile.

Regards, pissed off nukex member legdenno on 27.02. at 22:38 This message has been forwarded by legdenno. [/spoil]never... on 27.02. at 14:12 [player]Relding[/player] is currently attacking my member. you know we have no problems with nukex, and you know we are not focusing on k34, we have other plans. but if attacks dont stop are plans will have to change wont they. i dont care which one of them started but attacks must stop now kk. Kamarah on 27.02. at 14:14 As you can marco has nobled two nukex villages. Simple retaliation. never... on 27.02. at 14:15 as i said i dont care which one started it lol. just attacks must stop. Kamarah on 27.02. at 14:17 Considering Relding himself has 15 incoming from marco, it would be silly for him to just sit back and take it wouldn't it? never... on 27.02. at 14:18 considering marco is getting noble ofcorse he would send 15 attacks Kamarah on 27.02. at 14:24 Only trying to take back the villages he took. It would make me a rather poor leader if I told my members to just sit and take it every time we had villages taken from us, no wouldn't it? We would rather die in a war than one village at a time, out of fear of a war. We will stop attacks if marco returns the villages he took without resistance. never... on 27.02. at 14:30 all i will say is. attacks from your player stops. marco no longer attacks. we are not interested in a war, we are heading north not south atm.we can avoid this war by no more attacks. simple as that. i heard from tsa they are declaring on you anyway so you should worry about them lol Kamarah on 27.02. at 14:33 That's what a mail from a supposed TSA member tells me. I'm not inclined to believe it. Quite the coincidence that you would say the same thing to me within 45 minutes of the mail. Makes me wonder... Well, the person said they were on another account, so I reported them for having two accounts on one server. I do abhor cheaters and sneaks. never... on 27.02. at 14:37 hmm, no, heard this a week ago, random mails with people when im bored there all cocky about some shizzle, takeing party villages or something. cant remember. as i said i heard from them not sure tho :/ would be a funny war tho haha anyway , back to bizness, attacks gonna stop? Kamarah on 27.02. at 14:40 Anyway, back to the matter at hand... Our gradual entanglement of borders and the aggressive nature of our players leave it likely that we will face more problems like this in the future. It would make me feel a lot more comfortable dealing with other threats to our continent if we had some assurance we will not face attacks from PUNCH! as well. Perhaps it is time we signed some sort of diplomacy? never... on 27.02. at 14:41 i will bring it up in council. and it will be talked about it. will see where it go's. Bh, nothing impresses you, personally I think you live on a constant low with higher expectations than the queen, that is fine, if you like to be like that and give out that impression. I do have high expectations. But I couldn't even start on the amount of errors your declaration contains. Even then walking past that huge amount you look at the substance of the declaration. A two minute paint job that really makes very little sense at all. A 2/10 in my books.

After unexpected setbacks, I’m finally back on track. To celebrate, I’m offering “F*ck Old Age” at 1/2 price to kick-start my comeback The book was written and published. Taking the leap, I was flying. Soaring, I felt free and light. I was on my way ready to run forward until I hit the bend in the road and got stopped in my tracks. The landing was rougher than I anticipated with bumps and setbacks I never imagined. I’ve always been healthy and I took my health for granted. Getting sick was the last thing I expected. I was on the floor checked out. Waking up with the paramedics hovering over me, I had no idea what had happened. At the ER they could find nothing wrong so it was easy to ignore the warnings I was getting and pretend that everything was fine. The second time it happened, it was in public at the farmer’s market. I got lightheaded and the next thing I knew I was on the ground. As people gathered around there was no longer any possibility of pretending everything was fine. It was obvious that I had a problem. Another trip to the ER,and I was once again told they could not find any medical reason I had passed out even after multiple tests from a brain scan to a heart scan. It was time to ask myself “what was so painful to face in my life that going unconscience seemed like the best option?” How much more of a wake-up call did I need? Lying in the CT machine, I heard a message loud and clear. “You’ve been knocked flat twice, what more is going to take for you to wake up and get your attention? This is your life. Live the life you are meant to live and fulfill your destiny.” I couldn’t see what was ahead and had to slow down to take the curves in the road, rest, evaluate and find the lessons. “What would a warrior do,” I asked. A warrior knows setbacks are temporary. It is a time to breath, regroup and regain her strength, connect with her tribe and troops and plan a new strategy. A warrior will overcome her setback and I AM A WARRIOR! The bend in the road isn’t the end of the road. Every woman is a warrior.

My marriage is on june 21 2021. But i have no interest. I dont feel great about the marriage. I cant stop it now and i dont want it to happen. I feel stressed out. I feel like dying 😭😭😭😭. Lost all hope. Listen still you have alot of time … Go and had a chat with your parents about it don’t spoil your life like this … Everything is in your hand right now you can do good for yourself build some guts and have a healthy conversations with your parents regarding your feelings tell them that you can never be happy with this relationship go and stop the things before the time flies by … May be you family is orthodox or male dominated family but still everything is your hands. See there are two more months. I know that in our kind of families like they be like ijjat and all. But think do you wanna live a life regretting that you still had time but couldn’t do anything. You know you can do this so you got this. What could be worse. They would scold you and tell you about the chaar log wala dialogue let it be. People will talk about it for a bit and then will forget. Don’t let your life be ruined like this please They have already spent a lot of money for this marriage. I feel guilty as if i am cheating them. Money will come back but life won’t. How would your parents feel when they would get to know that you are not happy in this marriage. Money Will come back. Have a better job and pay them if you feel too guilty. From my suggestion you have to cancel this. There is a feeling in your heart that saying that the marriage isn’t right then don’t do it. If you have a marriage then you have divorce maybe it would be worse . I think you are capable and mature enough to make the decision now . Take the control and think and then do it. Everything will be fine.

MEETINGINSIGHTNLPMLExtract Insights from meetings using Exemplary AIJohn Jacob John Jacob6 min read In today's remote friendly world, communication is key and online meetings have become central to enabling remote teams to collaborate, share ideas and make important decisions regardless of location. It's also great to record meetings because team members may not be able to attend all their meetings or may need a recap of past meetings to surface context. Further more, writing a short description or a summary improves context for all involved. Here at Exemplary, we have automated the flow to process meetings by helping you store and process recordings, view and edit transcripts, and also extract valuable insights from them through use of Automated Speech Recognition, Natural Language Processing, Large Language Models. We also enable you to share them with ease. All you have to do is, send our bot to a meeting or upload meetings onto our platform using our API, and access them via our dashboard where insights would be automatically generated. Exemplary AI also provides a searchable index for historical context mining, if you choose to enable it. 5 Simple Steps to Access Valuable Insights via ExemplaryAI - Access our Dashboard via our API. - Upload your recordings onto our Exemplary AI platform, either manually, or connect with your favorite Video Conferencing tool’s integration (Zoom, Webex etc.), and pull in all your meeting recordings. - Transcribe meetings using top ASR providers (like Deepgram). - Apply NLP and NLU processes like summary, action items, sentiment, meeting notes, keywords, and generate highlight reels. - Share insights via email or integrate with your preferred app (eg. Slack). Types of Insights - Conversational Insights - Customer Insights - Speaker, or Participant Insights - Actionable Insights - Custom Insights Generate AI-driven insights automatically, as well as using workflows involving humans. Meeting summaries are important points to remember in the transcript, neglecting chatter and focusing on relevant information. Create Key Highlights Highlights are important points discussed in a meeting. Using the tagging feature in the editor tool kit, you can select and create key highlights, and store them as insights. Taking manual notes during a meeting makes it hard for the participant to concentrate on the meeting at hand. Use our summaries and extracted insights to ease the process and compile better notes. For Example: In sales, notes help you understand the customer’s goals better, previously stated pain points etc. streamlining your sales process. Extracting the main topics discussed in a transcription, processed by an NLP model, from an audio or video recording. For Example: Consider a recorded meeting between Jessica and James. The Topics discussed were predominately about Strategy, Sales, Growth, and Project costs. The NLP model can not only detect topics, but also show you who the segment of the conversation where the topic was discussed Entity Detection and Named Entity Extraction (NER), is a data extraction technique that identifies key entities such as company names, product names, dates, events, locations, etc. from the transcription. Identify commonly recurring entities for further analysis. For Example: Splunk is an entity, and is classified as a organization. Automatically detect and remove Personally Identifiable Information (PII) content such as name, address, bank account details, SSN, etc. from your transcription. Extract Customer Insights from your meeting recordings, where customer share their expectations, experiences, and preferences and provide feedback. Knowledge collected from these meetings enables you to provide individually catered, and timely interactions with customers. Improper assessment of customer satisfaction may lead to customer churn. - Customer Sentiment Sentiment Analysis can help detect emotional value in conversations, by retrieving positive, negative, and neutral statements in the transcript, which can be considered as valuable feedback. For Example: Calculate the average call sentiment from the list of a customer's meeting recordings. - Customer vs Sales Rep Calculate the talk-time ratio between the customer and the sales representative. For example, for sales calls, you might want your reps to strive to achieve an 80/20 listen-to-talk ratio. We can help you make such decisions, reflect on performance and tune your conversations to achieve the best outcomes. - Time Keeping Not starting or ending the meeting at the scheduled time will result in a waste of the customer’s time. Keep track of overall meeting timing, and get gentle reminders on how far the meeting has progressed or time left. Keywords can be the most commonly used words, terms, and names of products or companies. Using these keywords, a Word cloud is created to help you visualize their frequency and enables you to make strategic decisions with your meeting data. - Customer trends and Churn analysis Business insights such as customer trends, business risks, revenue generation opportunities, user anomalies, etc. are discussed regularly in customer meetings and can be extracted from the noise by using our NLP and NLU solutions. Be several steps ahead of your customers by leveraging customer empathy and being able to easily pull up feedback and insights from customer conversations. - Customer Sentiment When extracting insights from conversations, we build a searchable knowledge database of customer information. Using this search feature, you can easily sort through preferred topics discussed, customer sentiments, keyword occurrences, highlighted moments etc. Speaker insights are derived from the knowledge collected from speaker related data. - Track Speaker Activity - Observe Speaker Engagement - Identify Speaker Trends Use Machine Learning (ML) Techniques to extract actionable information from a transcript. This data can go into your CRM or your calendar and can be used to create reminders and action items so follow-up tasks don't slip by you during those busy weeks. - Action items Detect action items in the transcript of a recorded meeting. The tasks that come up during the meetings are automatically noted, making for easy follow-up and tracking of tasks mentioned during calls. Detect commitments and set reminders automatically, freeing your mind to focus on the conversations you have. For example: "Please review this report by the end of the day" gets noted as an action item, and can be set up as a reminder. Detect mentions of follow-up activities and meetings in the transcript of a recorded meeting, allowing you to keep track of follow-ups required and ensuring you never miss talking to all the key stakeholders or necessary follow-ups. Decisions are made by observing the data derived from a generated insights report. The system analyzes your conversation and extracts key decisions made during the call. - Action items Generate custom insights via the transcript editor by creating and tagging snippets from the conversation. You can even compile and share created highlight compilations, for sharing with your teams for easy review and decision-making. Once you've annotated the transcription enough times, we can also automatically detect these highlights for you in the future. We delve into a couple of use cases: - Sales and Marketing Teams - Educational platforms Sales and Marketing Teams Sales and Marketing Teams are part of multiple customer meets throughout the day. Sometimes, the team might lose track of key points discussed in previous meetings. Utilize insights, and make strategic sales decisions using those insights, bringing in more clarity and improving your sales flow and process. With Meeting Insights, you can understand your customers better. - Track the purpose of the meeting. - Identify key takeaways from Customer stories. - Easily capture and organize all meeting-generated content, from sales training sessions to customer calls. You can even use our editor to create compilations of your best performing teams, highlighting key moments where they successfully pushed the meeting towards achieving their key performance metrics. These compilations can serve as highly useful training material and help onboard newer team members, enabling them to quickly empathize with your customers and understand the domain. In today’s world, many Instructors teach their students by utilizing educational platforms such as virtual classrooms, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), and remote learning platforms. Instructors manage students across all levels and grades. Using our platform, instructors, and students can easily revisit topics, highlights, and keywords discussed in lectures or tutoring sessions, making it easy to track progress and review topics. Instructors can create structured learning paths and highlight key moments for students, and students can sort through lectures for easy review and create their own study plans based on their weaknesses and strengths. For students who missed a class or want a recap, they can easily access the transcript via ExemplaryAI’s dashboard. Reach out to us for white-labeling solutions if you want to incorporate our platform into your classroom or your organization's learning system. Watching a meeting recording or reviewing the whole transcript of a meeting can be taxing and time-consuming. Taking manual notes during a meeting makes you lose focus on the important discussions at hand. With Exemplary AI’s approach to Meeting Insights, you can use our cutting-edge ML techniques to seamlessly extract knowledge and generate insight based on your needs.

"That button is not placed properly. Should be next to the Slideshow delay for example. Or labeled "Go full screen when starting slideshow". The page goes full screen only when you press "Start slideshow" or start by keyboard. This way the user interaction is already given, so the page is allowed to go full screen. Unfortunately when the page starts the slideshow there's no user interaction, so even if it tries, it can't go full screen. I start to suspect there is some kind of "conflict" in the Projector settings, between the "Open in Full screen" checkbox and the "Automatic start" checkbox". If I understand you correctly, the correct "Projector" behavior should be: 1) The "Automatic start" checkbox" should bypass the "turntable" animation and present the first slide without starting automatically the slide show. 2) The "Open in Full screen" checkbox triggs full screen only once the user has pressed the button "Start slideshow", following step 1 above. My problem is only on my Android mobile, not on my PC (where everything works fine). That's even more mysterious. I've tried both Chrome and Firefox on my Android phone, and in neither one can I get the address bar to reappear while I'm viewing the slide images. Once it's in fullscreen mode, any touching or swiping, in any direction, causes it to drop out of fullscreen and back to the regular lightbox. The address bar doesn't reappear unless I go back to the thumbnails. "Once it's in fullscreen mode, any touching or swiping, in any direction, causes it to drop out of fullscreen and back to the regular lightbox". Yes, that's correct. Here is my usage sequence on my Android mobile, once I have launched the album: 1) Select one image folder. 2) The slide show start automatically (by passing the "turntable" animation"). 3) The display is not in full screen (although display is set for that, thus truncated) and the slide show runs. See screenshot posted above. 4) Press e.g. the left arrow: the slide show stops and the left menu is displayed again. 5) Press the "Start slide show" button and everything is fine i.e. it is in full screen mode. So to me, as the full screen is not supposed to be set automatically, it looks like there is some conflict in the "Projector" settings between the "Open in Full screen" checkbox and the "Automatic start" checkbox". I think I'd go the other way - keep the "go fullscreen" on slideshow start, but remove the autostart on the slideshow. I think most autostart things are going away - autostart music is virtually gone, and autostart videos work only sometimes. Let the site visitor decide whether he wants to see a timed slideshow or not - don't force him into it. I agree with jGromit, we should keep the "go fullscreen" on slideshow start. This enables a "clean" slide show. Regarding the "autostart" checkbox, we should remove this behavior that is in fact the issue of this bug report. Instead I would keep this checkbox to keep the possibility to"bypass" the turntable animation, so that the users see right away the button "Start slide show" from the regular "projector" interface (this will avoid the user to make an additional click prior starting the slide show). Then of course, the check box should get another name e.g. "Direct access" or similar.

We are returning to the topic of our last article. A subject we would like to forget about, but it is just too important to ignore. We are referring to the Advice Notes that were recently published by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) – extending their Core Labor Requirements (CLR) to include Outsourcing for CoC companies. FSC has a long history of inventing new requirements, out of thin air, and dropping them unannounced on its community of Certificate Holders (CH). Readers of this blog will be familiar with many of these stories. One of the underlying themes of this behavior is a chronic disconnect between the folks who run the FSC program (mostly staff based in Germany) and the people who actually implement the standards. FSC staff have always been shockingly disconnected from their key supporters and stakeholders, and this seems to get worse over time. This latest policy change may be the worst example of this in the 25-year history of the program. We summarized this for you last week. If you didn’t read that article, please do (it’s short). We avoided trying to explain and summarize the details last week, as we usually do. We will do that now. CLR Implementation Today A Policy Statement – promising, in effect, to obey the law, to not engage in slavery, child labor, & discrimination; and to respect workers’ rights to organize. A Self Assessment – annually completing and signing a document that affirms that they are respecting their CLR Policy. The Policy is just a document affirming basic ethical values that any ethical company conforms to anyway. The Self-Assessment is a rather silly piece of annual paperwork that accomplishes the same thing as the Policy. Importantly, the current CLR Implementation is limited to things that a certified company can control and can, in practice, be expected to take responsibility for. This – of course – is what changed last week. The New Requirements (for Outsourcing) In addition to the items noted above, FSC has now decided that certified companies must apply the same key requirements to all of the companies who provide them with material handling services (Outsource Vendors): The Policy Statement – each vendor will be expected to have their own policy statement; promising, in effect, to respect FSC social standards even though they are not FSC-certified. It will be up the certified company to verify that these policies are in place and conform to FSC requirements. The Self Assessment – the annual CLR Self-Assessment will cease to be just a silly piece of paperwork confirming the CLR Policy. That’s because the CH will need to take responsibility, not just for themselves, but also for their vendors. In effect, FSC-certified companies will be required to assess and certify that their service vendors are in compliance with the social principals in the CLR: forced labor, child labor, discrimination, and the right to organize. The problem here is obvious. At least it is obvious to everyone who doesn’t work for FSC. It is relatively easy to ask reputable companies to attest in writing that they conform to internationally recognized, and legally required, business norms. It is another thing entirely to ask them to attest to the same thing on behalf of another, independent company. This is exactly what FSC is asking every CH to do. But Wait, There’s More The changes we just outlined can be considered catastrophic on their own. Unfortunately, though, it gets worse. In addition to imposing this new requirement on Certificate Holders (CH), FSC staff have also made it clear that they expect the implementation of CLR compliance of Outsourcers and the integrity of vendor self-assessments to be subject to 3rd party audit. Beginning – in theory – this month. This has enormous practical consequence because of the way that Outsourcing Services are audited today. Most Chain of Custody (CoC) Outsourcing involve custom material handling and specialty services to certified manufacturers. A typical and common example is specialty binding services to printers. In many cases, the outsourced activity introduces negligible risk to the integrity of the CoC and is classed as Low Risk. Low Risk outsourcing does not require on-site visits during 3rd-party audits. As the new CLR protocols are implemented, Certification Bodies (CB) will be faced with the necessity of developing audit trails to verify (i.e. ‘prove’) that outsource vendors are conforming to the CLR’s. This will mean site visits. Lots and lots of site visits to businesses that have never been visited in the past. The cost of this will be uneven of course, falling most heavily on the CH’s who do the most Outsourcing. In aggregate, it will certainly impose millions of dollars of added cost to the marketplace, and severely strain the logistics and capacity of the whole certification business. Why Are We Doing This? This question is not a rhetorical question, but a tangible one. The fact is that we – the FSC community – are doing this to ourselves for real and specific reasons. It just happens that all of these reasons are bad. FSC has suffered, since its founding, with a persistent fallacy. We can call it: “harder is better”. The idea is simple. Good standards are hard. Therefore, to make a standard ‘better’,we need to make it ‘harder’. This idea has its roots in FSC’s roots, which began with the development of rigorous and meaningful standards for the management of forests. Forest management is hard. And good forest management is – usually – harder. Applying this logic to supply chain traceability, on the other hand, is nonsense. A dangerous and naïve misunderstanding. Chain of Custody should be easy!! To answer the question directly: We are doing this to ourselves for one reason only. Not to improve social and labor conditions for wood product workers. Not to enhance the ‘value’ and ‘credibility’ of the FSC brand. Not to add value to the marketplace for certified wood products. No. These changes to the FSC requirements are intended to make Certified companies expend more time, effort, and money in return for the ‘privilege’ of maintaining their FSC certification. All to satisfy the deeply mistaken (though generally well-intentioned) biases of a handful of professional staff at the international office. In short, a mistake. A very big, expensive mistake In Summary – a solution A nameless wise person once offered this useful advice: “When things are going wrong, and you don’t know what to do, begin by doing something different.” To put it another way – for our colleagues in Bonn – if you can’t think of any way to make this better, you aren’t paying attention. You can begin by stopping.

Release of IWACU four journalists, refugees experience human rights violations Prisoners released by presidential decree On 9th March 2021, 5,225 Burundian prisoners were pardoned pursuant to a presidential decree dated 5th March 2021, in an attempt to decongest the prisons. The decree is likely to benefit prisoners convicted of minor crimes, pregnant women or those with children, minors, prisoners with chronic diseases, prisoners aged 70 and above, and inmates with mental disorders. The presidential decree also resulted in the release of four journalists who were convicted of threatening the country's security being released. The four journalists were arrested in October 2019 while reporting in Bubanza province on the insecurity that befell the region. They were accused of attempts of conspiracy that undermined the country’s internal security which the four journalists refuted, arguing that they were only doing their work. In June 2020, the court dismissed their appeal and they were sent to Bubanza Prison to serve their sentences, but they were granted a presidential pardon later in the year. Four journalists imprisoned for a year in Burundi on charges that rights groups condemned as baseless have been released after receiving a presidential pardon, according to a decree seen Thursday by AFP. pic.twitter.com/GaYOsjaSJQ— Akayezu Jean de Dieu (@AkayezuJa) December 26, 2020 Reduced sentence for HRD Germain Rukuki On 24th March 2021, the Burundian Supreme Court ordered a re-trial for human rights defender and anti-torture campaigner Germain Rukuki, who is currently serving a 32-year prison sentence. The court rendered invalid the July 2019 Appeal Court decision to uphold Rukuki’s conviction and prison sentence and sent the case back to the Ntahangwa Appeal Court, with a newly composed bench. This was based on procedural irregularities. As previously reported by the Monitor, Rukuki was charged with “threatening state security” and taking part in an “insurrectional movement.” Germain Rukuki campaigned against torture in Burundi and was arrested in connection with his previous work with local organisation Action by Christians for Abolition of Torture (ACAT-Burundi), which had been shut down by the government. On 26th April 2018, he was found guilty of “rebellion”, “threatening State security”, “participation in an insurrectional movement” and "attack on the authority of the State" and sentenced to 32 years in prison. On 21 June 2021, the Appeal Court of Ntahangwa ruled on the case of Germain Rukuki and sentenced him to one year in prison.

He's expected to be released soon#Burundihttps://t.co/QDBSfErr2S— News From Amnesty (@NewsFromAmnesty) June 22, 2021 Human rights organisations condemn continued human rights violations against refugees On 11th March 2021, Defend Defenders released a statement at the UN Human Rights Council expressing concern about continued human rights violations and ongoing impunity in Burundi. On 8th April 2021, UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced that the UN special envoy’s office in Burundi was set to close on 31st May 2021. In November 2020, Burundi informed the UN that the office would be closed in December 2020 but the UN needed more time to phase out, and the closure was agreed for May 2021. The office was established during the 2015 political crisis. The UN will continue monitoring Burundi via the special envoy to the Great Lakes region, as part of its monitoring of and reporting on the sub-region. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) raised concerns about the ongoing targeting of Burundian refugees in Tanzania. According to UN reports, Burundian political opposition members seeking asylum in Tanzania are tracked by Burundian intelligence agents posing as refugees and face the risk of arbitrary arrest by the Tanzanian authorities. Arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances create a climate of fear amongst refugees. Burundi refugees and asylum-seekers in Tanzania have been subjected to arbitrary arrest, enforced disappearance and other violations, according to a group of experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council @UN_HRChttps://t.co/Jhp5XoEVFl— UN News (@UN_News_Centre) April 13, 2021 Burundian media outlets suspended On 24th March 2021, Rwanda suspended independent Burundian media outlets in exile, including Radio Publique Africaine (RPA), INZAMBA and Radio Télévision Renaissance. After the crisis erupted in 2015, the media outlets moved to Rwanda after the failed coup against then-President Pierre Nkurunziza. On 12th April 2021, RPA resumed broadcasting following a two-week interruption. On 20th April 2021, Reporters Without Borders released its annual World Press Freedom Index. Burundi ranked 147th out of 180 countries, an increase of 13 places from the 2020 Index. This is due to a number of positive changes, including the release of the four IWACU journalists and the government’s efforts to resume dialogue with banned local media.

A great question we are asked here at Innovative Results from our clients is, “should I take supplements for weight loss, muscle growth, or strength gains?” Most importantly, please remember that supplements are meant to “supplement” a healthy diet, they are not intended to replace nutrients (real food), or apply a “quick-fix” to your fitness goals. At the end of the day, you will still have to get moving with some form of exercise and maintain a healthy personal nutrition routine. That being said, whether you take supplements, or are considering adding supplements to your personal nutrition plan it is important to know what is out there and what your options are regarding personal nutrition, strength gains, and weight loss. Supplements can definitely help you stay focused, engaged and energetic through your workouts, but again they can’t help you if you aren’t pursuing some sort of fitness training. A great start is a food journal, figure out where your dietary needs fall and work with REAL food first (if God made it, eat it…natural is better), then if supplementing fits into your nutritional and performance needs you will be well equipped with your personal blue print. A food journal will help you stay on track with your daily nutrition, and give you a solid foundation for recovery, whether your goal is weight loss, fat loss, muscle gain, strength gain, or increased performance. We recommend My Fitness Pal, because it is easy-to-use, simple, an app on your phone, and FREE. Ready for your Personal Nutrition and Supplement Blue Print?

By: Jen Merrill Harmony Hall in Middletown is just a stone’s throw away from the endless blur of cars on Route 283, but you’d never know it once you’re there. The serene surroundings that owner Karen Taylor has maintained and operated since 1997 are quite a sight to see and visit. “You’re so close to everything, but it feels so peaceful,” says Taylor as she sits in her establishment. “I go to Harrisburg almost daily, and it takes me seven minutes to get from downtown to here.” The accessibility of this beautiful location has helped it become a popular marriage and reception spot for central Pennsylvanian couples, but Harmony Hall is much more than just a venue for your wedding day. Since a soft open earlier this summer, Taylor started serving lunch on weekdays. The menu includes appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches and a varying selection of desserts. “It was really important to us to do something different,” says Taylor. “Our burgers are hand-patted. It’s a really good-quality beef. We use a brioche roll instead of a regular bun. They are shiny and have a nice little potato bread texture. Our shrimp are larger shrimp. Everything’s fresh. There’s nothing prepared. We make the bruschetta. We could certainly buy value potato chips, but I just think doing as many things homemade as we can is very important.” The menu came together in a collaborative effort between Taylor, her staff and her clientele. The Tuscan Grilled Chicken Sandwich, for example, was inspired by a popular dish she often served at weddings. It starts with a brioche bun stuffed with a juicy marinated chicken breast that’s smothered in mozzarella cheese and chunky homemade bruschetta, topped with crisp romaine lettuce and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette. “To me, eating starts with the visual and ends up with how great it tastes,” explains Taylor. “If you put something out that doesn’t look pretty but tastes fantastic, people may not want to try it.” Taylor counts the Artichoke Pate as Harmony Hall’s “trademark item.” The appetizer includes a mound of crunchy, deliciously seasoned Karen’s Pasta Dippers® ready to be dunked into a creamy blend of artichokes, cream cheese, garlic and Parmesan cheese. You can’t start your meal here without them. “Creating the menu was a long, hard process, but it was a lot of fun,” says Taylor. “And everybody had something that they liked. We have an item on the menu called Pigs on a Log, and it’s an item I thought, ‘No way, no how!’ But everybody that orders it, raves about it.” Why are they raving? Because who in their right mind can pass up mouth-watering pulled pork smothered in cheddar cheese, ranch dressing and barbecue sauce, piled on top of a generous mound of crispy French fries? Beyond the new lunch menu available, Taylor has held weekly lawn concerts throughout the past two summers, and this summer’s concerts benefited a selection of charities that the owner holds close to her heart. “There was a class reunion at one of the concerts. You can rent our pavilion out and have a big birthday party. Corporations can have employee outings,” says Taylor. “You can have gatherings here. It can be just you hanging out with some friends.” When Taylor talks about her venue, the passion of 25 years of experience is evident. She wants people to come visit Harmony Hall and fall in love with it the way she does each and every time she steps foot on the premises. Then taste her food, and you won’t want to leave. “To me, eating starts with the visual and ends up with how great it tastes. If you put something out that doesn’t look pretty but tastes fantastic, people may not want to try it,” explains Taylor. “We also wanted to have a really good value. In this economy, people are very budget-minded. We wanted to have something that people felt was reasonable. Here you get a very nice portion and a great atmosphere.” Harmony Hall is open for lunch on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Do you love the smell of money? What does your money smell like? How about Parmesan? Or Cheddar? We know that currencies come in all shapes and sizes, but did you know that in Italy, there’s a bank that accepts wheels of cheese as collateral for loans? It’s true! The Credem Bank of Italy has been making savory loans to cheesemakers for centuries. When Parmesan producers need a loan for purchasing more cattle or expanding their production facilities, they get a low-interest loan from Credem. The bank then houses some of their cheese (it has to “mature” anyway) to ensure that they repay their loan. If they don’t, well, cheese party! The result is nothing short of astounding. Customers have accepted the terms of their loan offer in droves, and today the Credem vault houses 430,000 wheels of cheese. Their value? 190 million Euros! According to Google, that’s $216,917,300. Currency is a strange thing. Whatever humans agree has value, essentially, has it. Centuries ago, salt was a currency. Aluminum (now one of the least expensive metals on Earth) was once more valuable than gold. And in 1637, a single tulip bulb sold for ten times the average annual income! Crazy? It certainly seems like it in retrospect. It makes me wonder what I’ll look back on in 50 years and laugh at the value I placed on my fill-in-the-blank possession. (One of our very first episodes–What is Money?–has even more stories from the pages of monetary history.) We made entire episodes on the subjects of banking and currency. Be sure to check them out below. And tell us: if you had the power to make something you love into currency, what would it be? Watch our episode, Take it to the Bank, to learn more about banking.

Trump says he’ll make a ‘big announcement’ Nov. 15 in Florida Former President Donald Trump said Monday he will be making a “big announcement” next week as he teased a third presidential run while campaigning on the eve of the final day of voting in this year’s midterm elections. “I’m going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at Mar-a-Lago,” Trump said before a cheering crowd in Vandalia, Ohio, Monday night, where he was holding his final rally of the midterm season to bolster Senate candidate JD Vance. Trump explained that he wanted “nothing to detract from the importance of tomorrow,” even after he had sparked a frantic effort to hold him off after he had told people he was considering officially launching his next campaign Monday night at the rally. Trump has been increasingly explicit about his plans to seek another term, saying in recent days that he would “very, very, very probably” run again and would be formalizing his intentions “very, very soon.” “I will probably have to do it again but stay tuned,” he said Sunday night in Miami. “Stay tuned to tomorrow night in the great state of Ohio.” Republican officials and some people in Trump’s orbit had been urging him for months to wait until after the midterms were over to launch, in part to avoid turning the election into a referendum on him and to shield him from potential blame should Republicans not do as well as the party hopes on Tuesday. But Trump has been eager to move forward, hoping to piggyback off expected Republican wins after endorsing nearly 300 candidates, as well as to stave off potential challengers like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and others who have indicated they will run. Indeed, the date of Trump’s announcement — Nov. 15 — is the same day former Vice President Mike Pence will be releasing a book that is seen as part of his own potential campaign rollout. Trump’s announcement comes as he confronts a series of escalating legal challenges, including several investigations that could lead to indictments. They include the probe into hundreds of documents with classified markings that were seized by the FBI from his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, as well as ongoing state and federal inquiries into his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol has also subpoenaed Trump and last month issued a letter to his lawyers saying he must testify, either at the Capitol or by videoconference, “beginning on or about” Nov. 14 and continuing for multiple days if necessary. Trump won Ohio, once considered a bellwether, by 8 points in both 2016 and 2020. The state also proved an early test of his endorsement power when his decision to back Vance in the state’s hyper-competitive Senate primary vaulted the political newcomer to victory in a crowded Republican field. Vance, an author, venture capitalist and onetime Trump critic, is part of a new generation of Republican leaders who have embraced Trump’s “American First” positions, including his isolationist foreign policy and focus on immigration.

With the increase in demand for SEO services, SEO companies across the globe started to grow in number. You can virtually find them just about every country in the world. The question is, does your business really need the help of an SEO Company? Search Engine Optimization is popular among various businesses. With almost a quarter of the total global sales attributed to online marketing, who would not care? Its power and role in the marketing campaign is evidently important, especially to companies that are incapable of physical expansion. Internet presents them an opportunity to expand with a minimal cost. For these reasons, SEO now holds a more significant role in boosting a company’s revenue. SEO services are typically outsourced from developing nations like the Philippines and India. While majority of search engine optimization can be done at home by a knowledgeable webmaster, it is rare that you find freelance SEOs who work at home with reliable SEO qualifications. The need for an affordable SEO company has driven most western companies to embrace outsourcing SEO offshore. It is true that search engine optimization need not be overly complicated like many companies make you believe but there are certain circumstances where the help of a search engine optimization company becomes indispensable. Here are some of the instances where it is advisable to seek the help of an SEO company: Your business requires your full attention and you don’t have time to monitor your own website statistics. Companies and businesses who don’t have qualified employees to perform the required search engine optimization. It is always preferable to hire experts over going through the learning process and do SEO yourself. When after your efforts to optimize your website, you do not get any substantial improvements in your ranking and traffic, you need to get help from experts. An SEO firm can help introduce innovative SEO strategies that you might have not used yet. Moreover, companies that specializes on SEO have more resources to do the job. Outsourcing SEO and choosing the right company to work with needs careful planning. You do not want to end up with companies employing all sorts of shady strategies that will harm your website. What you want and what you need is a qualified SEO company that can deliver results through professional and ethical SEO strategies. So to help you choose a good SEO provider, here are a few things to be wary about: Companies that guarantee top rankings for your website. The truth is, no one can guarantee top placement on search engines. SEo companies employ strategies that are proven to have worked. Search engine algorithms are highly classified. Choose SEO companies that are honest, upfront and realistic. It doesn’t mean the company is good when they charge high fee on their SEO services. There are a lot of SEO companies offshore that can deliver results for half the cost. You jus have to be patient in searching. Choose SEO companies that offer scheduled reporting. Choose companies with complete contact information. Your SEO company should regularly contact you and should constantly find new ways to achieve the best result for your website. They should be innovative yet ethical in their SEO practices.

Trevor Noah Changes His Mind About Marriage And Cohabitating? He Is Searching For Property With Girlfriend The fourth richest comedian in the world, Trevor Noah has managed to keep his relationship with Minka Kelly a secret till recently. He was spotted last week with his girlfriend Minka Kelly hunting for houses in Los Angeles’ richest neighbourhood. U. S media has claimed that the cute couple is looking to get themselves a house they can live together in. However, the duo has not yet confirmed if they will be moving in together or staying separately in the building they are searching for. The move is unlike Trevor at all – especially after he boldly gave some thought-provoking advice on relationships a few months ago. He proclaimed that people should never stay together even if they were married. Trevor Noah went on to support his stance on not living together ever by suggesting that that’s the reason there is a high rate of divorce because people are suffocating each other’s spaces. Wendy Williams – who is close to the comedian – on her show, further confirmed the reports saying; “If you know anything about Noah, you’ll know-ah that he likes a solid relationship, he’s not the dating type, he says that, he’s been saying that for years. These two are looking for a house together in LA. They are not married; they’re not engaged through.” View this post on Instagram It is quite surprising that out of all people, Trevor Noah now chooses not to live by his word.

It could've been a disaster. A lengthy weather delay, the least surprising development in history, seemed to be the first bad omen over a meaningless friendly between Orlando City and Arsenal, but the match actually went well. As expected, the English titans brought a strong crowd to Exploria Stadium and considerable hype in the soccer-verse for Orlando City. The real surprise came between the lines where the Lions didn't suck? Yes, the Gunners did win 3-1 with a comfortable roster with a B- caliber squad, but Orlando City showed plenty of quality, most evident on a fabulous route one goal from Uruguayan starlet Facundo Torres. That's probably the best goal Torres has scored in Orlando so far, and even though it was preseason, he pulled it off against one of the bigger clubs on the planet. Certainly not a bad clip to throw out when the first round of European transfer enquiries come in for the 22-year-old playmaker. Even better than a relatively respectable outing was the lack of injuries. By far the biggest fear in playing an extra match is the risk of injury. If a player, especially a key star like Torres, had gone down in this game, every fan would be filled with righteous anger at the club for scheduling this game. But nobody came away with anything more than a good exhibition against elite competition. All of my pessimism is a bit much in hindsight, and based purely on the results Wednesday, the friendly was a net positive. For the relative success in Orlando, that's nothing compared to two other MLS vs. Premier League friendlies on Wednesday night. Chelsea paid a visit to Bank of America Stadium to face MLS newcomers Charlotte FC. The game featured a goal from USMNT superstar Christian Pulisic and some silly penalty hijinks, including a Panenka from Charlotte's Daniel Rios and this incredible gaff from Chelsea's Conor Gallagher. If that wasn't a funny enough Premier League blunder, Everton -- who BARELY escaped one of the most embarrassing relegations in history last year -- played Minnesota United in Allianz Field and got blasted 4-0 by the Loons. Is that one of the funniest preseason results in history? Who's to say. But alls fair in the wild wacky world of midweek cross-continental friendlies.

If you were injured in New York due to a car accident, defective product, slip and fall accident, medical malpractice, or other incidents, you could be eligible to seek compensation through a personal injury claim or lawsuit. However, you might not know how long it will take to recover the compensation you need to pay your medical bills, recover lost wages and other expenses, and move on with your life. Average Timeline for a New York Personal Injury Lawsuit How long does a lawsuit take to settle? Unfortunately, there is no set answer since every case is different. Most personal injury claims are resolved through a negotiated settlement between the injured victim and the at-fault party or their insurance company. Both sides usually prefer settlement because it avoids the expense of protracted litigation. However, settlement negotiations usually do not start until both sides fully investigate the case, which can take several months to a year. If settlement negotiations drag on or the parties simply do not reach an agreement, a lawsuit must be filed. Under New York’s statute of limitations, a personal injury lawsuit must typically be filed within three years of the injury. However, in cases against municipalities, a notice of claim must be filed within 90 days of the incident, and in cases involving wrongful death, the lawsuit must be filed within two years of the date of death. The first step in a personal injury lawsuit involves filing your complaint. The discovery process will then begin, lasting anywhere from six months to a year, and sometimes longer depending on the complexity of the case. Both sides will secure and exchange evidence, such as documents, photographs, medical records, and more. In addition, the plaintiff, defendant, and other witnesses will provide sworn deposition testimony. Once discovery is complete, there may be another attempt to settle the case. If the case continues to court, it can take an extended period of time for the trial process to be complete and receive a verdict. Both sides will then have 30 days to file an appeal, which may lead to a new trial. If there is a plaintiff’s verdict that is approved by the courts, the final step is to collect your judgment. The defendant (and more likely, its insurance carrier) may pay either in a lump sum or in periodic payments. The structure of the payments will be determined at the end of the case depending on the age of the plaintiff and the amount of the verdict or settlement. Factors that Could Slow Down the Personal Injury Settlement Process Various factors can delay or lengthen the settlement negotiation process in your personal injury claim. These factors include the following: - The severity of your injuries and treatment — Ideally, you will want to wait until you’ve finished your treatment and can calculate your losses before starting settlement negotiations. - The complexity of your case — A more complex case will take longer to investigate before you can begin negotiating a settlement. - Whether liability is contested — If the defendant denies liability (whether they did anything wrong) and/or whether their actions caused your injuries, it can take longer to negotiate a settlement agreement that all parties can accept. Factors that Should Speed Up a Personal Injury Case On the other hand, factors that can speed up the timeline in your personal injury case include the following: - You have not suffered severe injuries. - You have finished treatment for your injuries. - Your case does not involve complex issues. - You have strong evidence supporting your claim. - You have not incurred substantial losses. - The defendant’s insurance can cover the compensation you are claiming. - The defendant does not contest liability for the accident or your injuries and losses. - The courts in your jurisdiction have a smaller caseload.

If you’ve heard the term “Universal Design” and asked yourself what exactly does it mean? Don’t worry. Our latest blog will look at what it means and why it is crucial. So, what is Universal Design all about? Universal Design, Inclusive Design, or Barrier-Free Design, as defined by the Centre for Excellence in Universal Design, is the design and structure of an environment to be understood, accessed, and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age or ability. The original concept of universal design was developed in the late 90s by architect and industrial designer and wheelchair user Ronald Mace. Mace and a group of architects, product designers, engineers, and environmental design researchers developed seven principles to help guide the design process. The Seven Basic Principles of Universal Design But wait, where are these universally designed places and products? Universally designed places and products are all around us. You’ve probably used one (or all these things) without even realizing it. A few that you probably use every day are the curb cut and power-assisted doors. Curb cuts and power-assisted doors are necessary for access for people with mobility impairments. They also benefit a worker transporting items with a cart, a parent pushing a small child in a stroller, someone using a wheeled briefcase, and a person carrying a bulky item and trying to open an exterior door. Some other examples of universal designed places or products are: • Ramp entrance • Lever door handles • Flat-panel light switches • Task lighting Why should we care about universal design? Universal design is imperative because it’s inclusive if a space is accessible, usable, and convenient for everyone regardless of age or ability. An accessible school, library, community center, or park means everyone can participate fully in their community. As our population ages, the need and desire for accessible and inclusive communities will only grow. With older age comes mobility, vision, and hearing challenges. Many of us will need universally designed spaces to continue to be part of our communities and live our lives to their full potential.

Frustrated by their inability to stop sophisticated hacking attacks or use the law to punish their assailants, an increasing number of U.S. companies are taking retaliatory action. Known in the cybersecurity industry as "active defense" or "strike-back" technology, the reprisals range from modest steps to distract and delay a hacker to more controversial measures. Security experts say they even know of some cases where companies have taken action that could violate laws in the United States or other countries, such as hiring contractors to hack the assailant's own systems. In the past, companies that have been attacked have mostly focused on repairing the damage to their computer networks and shoring them up to prevent future breaches. But as prevention is increasingly difficult in an era when malicious software is widely available on the Internet for anyone wanting to cause mischief, security experts say companies are growing more aggressive in going after cyber criminals. "Not only do we put out the fire, but we also look for the arsonist," said Shawn Henry, the former head of cybercrime investigations at the FBI who in April joined new cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, which aims to provide clients with a menu of active responses. Once a company detects a network breach, rather than expel the intruder immediately, it can waste the hacker's time and resources by appearing to grant access to tempting material that proves impossible to extract. Companies can also allow intruders to make off with bogus files or "beacons" that reveal information about the thieves' own machines, experts say. Henry and CrowdStrike co-founder Dmitri Alperovich do not recommend that companies try to breach their opponent's computers, but they say the private sector does need to fight back more boldly against cyber espionage. It is commonplace for law firms to have their emails read during negotiations for ventures in China, Alperovich told the Reuters Global Media and Technology Summit. That has given the other side tremendous leverage because they know the Western client company's strategy, including the most they would be willing to pay for a certain stake. But if a company knows its lawyers will be hacked, it can plant false information and get the upper hand. "Deception plays an enormous role," Alperovich said. Other security experts say a more aggressive posture is unlikely to have a significant impact in the near term in the overall fight against cybercriminals and Internet espionage. Veteran government and private officials warn that much of the activity is too risky to make sense, citing the chances for escalation and collateral damage. "There is no business case for it and no possible positive outcome," said John Pescatore, a National Security Agency and Secret Service veteran who leads research firm Gartner's Internet security practice. Nevertheless, the movement shows the deep anger and sense of futility among security professionals, many of whom feel that a bad situation is getting worse, endangering not only their companies but the national economy. "There's nothing you can do" to keep determined and well-financed hackers out, said Rodney Joffe, senior technologist at Internet infrastructure company Neustar and an advisor to the White House on cybersecurity. Joffe recently looked at 168 of the largest 500 U.S. companies by revenue and found evidence in Neustar forensic logs that 162 of them owned machines that at some point had been transmitting data out to hackers. Frustration by security professionals is not new. Some privately admitted to rooting for Lulz Security last year during that hacking group's unprecedented spree of public crimes, when it broke into and embarrassed Sony, an FBI affiliate and others with routine hacking techniques. They said the resulting media coverage finally caught the attention of CEOs and legislators, although tougher cybersecurity laws have yet to pass Congress. Although some strike-backs have occurred quietly in the past, Facebook popularized going on offense, said Jeff Moss, founder of the influential Black Hat security conferences and an advisor to the Department of Homeland Security. In January, Facebook Inc. named some of the Russian players behind the malicious "Koobface" software that spread through spam on various social networks, earning the gang an estimated $2 million. The security industry's shortcomings were underscored most recently by the discovery of the Flame spying virus in the Middle East. Mikko Hypponen, the well-regarded chief research officer at Finland's F-Secure Oyj, told the Reuters Summit his company had a sample of Flame in 2010 and classified it as clean and later missed another virus called Duqu that was suspected of being backed by Western governments. "These are examples how we are failing" as an industry, Hypponen said. "Consumer-grade antivirus you buy from the store does not work too well trying to detect stuff created by the nation-states with nation-state budgets." Because some national governments are suspected in attacks on private Western companies, it is natural that some of the victims want to join their own governments to fight back. "It's time to have the debate about what the actions would be for the private sector," former NSA director Kenneth Minihan said at the RSA security conference held earlier this year in San Francisco. In April, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told the San Jose Mercury News that officials had been contemplating authorizing even "proactive" private-entity attacks, although there has been little follow-up comment. Many large security providers no longer preach that keeping the enemy out is paramount. Instead, they adopt the more recent line taken by the Pentagon, which is to assume that hackers have gotten inside and will again. The mainstream advice now is to focus on trying to detect suspicious activity as quickly as possible in order to shut it down. Hitting back with force is only the most colorful of possible responses after that. More common alternatives include deep analysis of what data has been sent out and attempts to learn whether the recipients were competitors, criminals who might try to resell it, or national governments, who might be inclined to share it with local industry. Some experts also say executives should identify their most prized intellectual property and keep it off of networked computers and consider evasive action - such as having 100 versions of a critical digitized blueprint and only one that is genuine, with the right one never identified in emails. "There is a reason that people fly halfway around the world to have a one-hour meeting," Joffe said of intelligence agencies. © 2023 Thomson/Reuters. All rights reserved.

Space exploration has been a topic of fascination for humans for centuries. From the first telescope to the first moon landing, we have always been curious about what lies beyond our planet. However, space exploration is not just about satisfying our curiosity. It has numerous practical applications, from understanding our universe to improving our daily lives. One of the most critical tools for space exploration is satellites. Satellites are artificial objects that orbit the Earth or other celestial bodies. They are used for a variety of purposes, including communication, navigation, weather forecasting, and scientific research. In space exploration, satellites play a crucial role in gathering data and transmitting it back to Earth. One of the most significant advantages of satellites is their ability to provide a bird’s eye view of our planet. Satellites can capture images of the Earth’s surface, which can be used for a variety of purposes, including mapping, monitoring weather patterns, and tracking changes in the environment. This information is invaluable for scientists studying climate change, natural disasters, and other environmental issues. Satellites are also essential for communication. They enable us to transmit data and information across vast distances, making it possible to communicate with astronauts in space and send commands to spacecraft. Without satellites, space exploration would be much more challenging, if not impossible. Another critical role of satellites in space exploration is navigation. Satellites are used to create global positioning systems (GPS), which allow us to determine our location and navigate with precision. GPS is used in a variety of applications, from aviation to shipping to personal navigation devices. In space exploration, GPS is used to navigate spacecraft and ensure they reach their intended destinations. Satellites are also used for scientific research. They can be equipped with a variety of instruments and sensors, which can be used to gather data on everything from the composition of distant planets to the behavior of our own planet’s atmosphere. This information is critical for understanding our universe and developing new technologies. In addition to their practical applications, satellites also have a symbolic significance in space exploration. They represent our ability to reach beyond our planet and explore the unknown. Satellites have played a crucial role in some of the most significant achievements in space exploration, from the first moon landing to the exploration of Mars. However, satellites are not without their challenges. They are expensive to build and launch, and they require a significant amount of maintenance and upkeep. Additionally, satellites can be vulnerable to space debris and other hazards, which can damage or destroy them. Despite these challenges, the importance of satellites for space exploration cannot be overstated. They are critical tools for gathering data, communicating, navigating, and conducting scientific research. Without satellites, space exploration would be much more challenging, if not impossible. As we continue to explore our universe, satellites will undoubtedly play an increasingly important role in our efforts to understand and explore the unknown.

Defining your Legacy 2018 : Together we mentor future kings, 01 Day workshop for the entire academic staff of Royal College was organized by the Old Royalists’ HR Professionals’ Association (ORHRPA) in collaboration with the Royal College Union (RCU), the Old Royalists’ Association in UK (ORAUK) and Old Royalists in Qatar (ORQ) at the Waters Edge, Battaramulla on 29th May 2018.

Further, he stated that the main objective of this program was to inspire the team, to promote collaboration, as there are many new teachers who have joined inthe recent past and to help them to be role models as “Royal Teachers”, rather than being just another team of teachers. Addressing over 265 teachers who were present on that day, the Principal and the RCU Secretary emphasized the importance of continuous learning & development and getting updated with the latest knowledge The main sessions of the workshop were as follows:- - “Aligning your personal vision with organizational vision” by Dhammika Kalapuge, - “Maintaining the students’ discipline within the legal framework of Sri Lanka” by Dr Prathiba Mahanamahewa - “Mindfulness : for enhanced effectiveness in personal and professional life” by Dr Tara de Mel Thereafter, there was a very impactful panel discussion moderated by Janaka Kumarasinghe, the Executive Director of Kent Ridge with an elite panel comprised of Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe, Former Navy Commander & High Commissioner to Australia, Prof Ajantha Dharmasiri, Professor in Management, Director and the Chairman of the Board of Management of PIM, Ishan Dantanarayana, the Chief People Officer, Brandix Group and Prasath Nanayakkara, the Chairman and CEO, Auxenta Inc..

After Valentino Rossi’s spectacular victory at the opening round almost a fortnight ago, he and Movistar Yamaha MotoGP teammate Jorge Lorenzo head to Circuit Of The Americas (COTA) for the Grand Prix of The Americas this weekend. The 2015 season has only just started, but the first MotoGP race has already given race fans lots of action and drama to talk about. Rossi rode a brilliant race from eighth on the grid to clinch victory. The nine-time World Champion aims to continue his form at COTA, though he’s admittedly not a big fan of the Texan circuit with a sixth place in 2013 as his best result. However, he’s still excited to hit the track after his sensational opening of the season and will again be giving his all to fight for a place on the podium. Teammate Lorenzo had a challenging start to the season. He led the pack in Qatar in the early stages of the race, but later lost half his vision due to a helmet malfunction. The mentally and physically strong Spaniard will use this misfortune as extra motivation to push his YZR-M1 to the maximum once more this weekend. Last year he had a difficult race at COTA, but he looks forward to being back at the front of the field to challenge for a podium place, like he did in 2013 when he finished third. The Circuit of the Americas is a relatively new track that was constructed in 2012 and first added to the MotoGP calendar in 2013. The 5513m-long, counter-clockwise track is not typically described as a ‘Yamaha-circuit’, but has an interesting mixture of fast straights and tight hairpins that make for a lively race. With 20 corners in total, 11 left turns and 9 right turns, and a longest straight of 1,200m, this circuit can seat 120,000 fans and is sure to bring more excitement to the season. Beginning the championship with a victory is really nice, but now we must try to be just as competitive as we were in Qatar everywhere else. Austin is not our favorite track. Although the track is very modern and I really like some corners, the two long straights are weak points for us. Our opponents are strong, but it’s also true that our bike has made major improvements. I’m happy with my feelings on the YZR-M1. We will work hard to find the best possible solution, as we did at Losail. After the victory in Qatar we are all very motivated and we are ready for another weekend. I would like to get on the podium. It won’t be easy, but we will try!” “Qatar is in the past and we thought our result would be better, but now I’m just focusing on next race in Austin. I look forward to racing there once again, even if usually it’s not a track that suits our bike. In the past I was able to get on the podium so I want to do my best in Texas and try to keep as focused as I was in Qatar. I’m eager to race as soon as possible because I feel very fit and mentally strong. Hopefully we can do a better job than last year because both me and the bike have improved and maybe also the new tyres give us a chance to fight for the race. From my side, I’m going to push at the maximum.” Courtesy: Yamaha Factory Racing Press Release

In anticipation of an upcoming film based on his life, ‘The Wolf of Wall st,’ starring Leonardo Di Caprio, Jordan Belfort has told that he is no longer the man he used to be and that he is now a changed man. Now a business consultant, Jordan Belfort, 51, made his notorious claim to fame after he came to the attention of authorities as a stock swindler who would go on to squander his vast ill gotten gains on cocaine, prostitutes, a sleek 166 foot yacht that eventually sank and a $175 000 sports car. At the time of his 2003 arraignment he was required to make good on the $110 million that he defrauded investors but to date Belfort has only paid back $11.6 with some claiming he has hidden sums made from movie and book deals off the upcoming film. Goes on to reflect Belfort: ‘It’s very strange being accused of something I wouldn’t have done in a million years,” ‘It’s so not where my head is at.’ Speaking of accusations that he has hidden profits of the movie and book deal from prosecutors, Jordan Belfort reflected: ‘In some weird way, it probably helps the movie,’ ‘It doesn’t help me.’ Looking back, he says becoming rich by deceit wasn’t worth it. ‘Fraud is not something you want to be good at,’ ‘I was always taking great efforts to cover my tracks. ‘It was unbelievably exhausting, keeping track of all the lies. … I think that’s why I lived so recklessly. You’re doing things that you know can’t go on indefinitely. It fuels that insane lifestyle.’ Belfort pleaded guilty in 1999 and agreed to become a government witness in a case against an accountant and other stock fraud defendants accused of cooking the firm’s books and funneling money into a bogus holding company and overseas bank accounts. In 2003, after a broken marriage and a bout with drug addiction, Belfort was sentenced to three and a half years behind bars and ordered to chip away at the $110 million restitution by giving 50 percent of his future earnings to the government. Book sales resulted in payments of about $700,000 from 2007 to 2009, court papers say. After completing probation in 2010, prosecutors claim Belfort’s payments slowed to a trickle – even after he made $940,500 off the sale of the ‘Wolf’ movie rights and continued to capitalize on his notoriety as a motivational speaker and business consultant. Belfort tells these days he can make tens of thousands of dollars for speaking engagements and other services. His website goes on to boast how he can develop a system to ‘take virtually any company or individual … and empower them to create massive wealth, abundance and entrepreneurial success, without sacrificing integrity or ethics,’ and features testimonials of heads of telecommunications and real estate companies in Australia. Told fiancée, Anne Koppe, in a recent letter to a judge: ‘Jordan is no longer a criminal,’ ‘”He is an exemplary contributor to the economy. He is a taxpayer and a very hard-working man.’ As to his current problems with the law, the UK’s dailymail tells Jordan Belfort’s lawyers have argued that his obligation to pay half his earnings ended when he went off probation. Still, he claims he’s repeatedly offered to pay 100 per cent of his book and movie profits and to negotiate a settlement on restitution, only to be met with silence. ‘There’s so much distrust,’ Belfort said of the prosecutors. ‘Most people lie to them. I don’t want to make any money from the books or the movie. I don’t think they could fathom that.’ ‘Not so,’ tells Dianne Nygaard, a Kansas City, Mo., lawyer who once represented some of his victims. ‘Someone like Belfort bemoaning a lack of trust is outrageous,’ Nygaard went on to recall that one of her clients, after being duped by a cold call from Stratton Oakmont, sold the family farm so he could invest. ‘No one should consider him trustworthy. He is the consummate con man, winning the confidence of the naive, the trusting and the greedy by calculatedly selling people what they wanted to believe.’ above image found here

When I came down with my 2nd nasty cold of this season, I decided it was time to test my apothecary skills. While on our Ladies Homestead Gathering Retreat, we were honored to attend an herbal class with Patricia Kyritsi Howell of BotanoLogos School of Herbal Studies in Mountain City, Georgia. (You can check out her website at WildHealingHerbs.com) She brought along her knowledge and ingredients to make a few winter-time remedies for us. We discussed three remedies in great detail: Elder Rob Syrup, for use at the on-set of illness; Garlic & Cayenne Oxymel, to loosen a stuffy nose and soothe a sore throat; and Elderberry Wild Cherry Cough Syrup. So last week I tried my hand at medicine-making and brewed a batch of Garlic & Cayenne Oxymel. And lest you fear I re-printed this recipe without permission, worry not! I cleared it with Patricia before publishing this. (As a new real-life blogger, I often forget to document my work as I go along, and thus, have no in-progess photos to share with you. My apologies…) 8 ounces cider vinegar 1/4 ounce each crushed fennel seeds and caraway seeds 1 bulb fresh garlic (approximately 10 cloves), pressed 3 fresh cayenne peppers 10 ounces honey Put the vinegar in a pan with the seeds and bring to a boil, simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and add garlic and cayenne peppers. Let mixture cool. Strain back into pan. Mix in 10 ounces of honey. Warm over a low heat until thinned slightly. Store in a sterile jar in a cool place. To use, take 1 tablespoon and dilute in 1 cup of warm tea. Drink as often as needed to clear congestion and soothe a cough. Shelf life: Approximately 1 year. My adjustments: I did not have any fennel seeds or caraway seeds so I omitted them. I did not have enough fresh garlic, so I used dried garlic. I did not have any fresh cayenne, so I used dried cayenne. But other than that…! It was delicious and effective, nonetheless.

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes FIND OUT WHY VIETNAM IS THE CENTER OF GROWING CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Vietnam is one of the countries where the economy has grown the most and grown the fastest in the last few decades. This megalopolis has reduced its poverty rates dramatically by both local and international standards while increasing labor productivity and wages. During the coronavirus outbreak, Vietnam has been one of the countries that have been able to stay healthy the best. Despite the current challenges in the global economic environment, the Vietnamese government has set an ambitious economic growth target of 5% for this year. The educated youth are needed and appreciated There are plenty of career opportunities in Vietnam. Developing industries are requiring new skill sets and production processes. The aging population will demand care services from a shrinking working age population. The educated youth are appreciated and needed but only less than 20% of Vietnam’s labor force has more than a secondary education. For this reason, education and training systems have had to be reformed in order to build skills for 21st century jobs. Connecting qualified workers to the right jobs will help creating better jobs for all in the future. Building careers with FTU The Foreign Trade University (FTU) in Ho Chi Minh City is considered to be one of the most valued and it has been ranked as one of the best universities in Vietnam. FTU offers a variety of courses from study programs on International Business Management, International Finance, Economics, Banking and Logistics. Ho Chi Minh City is also the business hub of Vietnam. Japanese student Takahiro Higuma applied to study at the Foreign Trade University because he felt great potential about insurance market of Vietnam since it is one of the fastest growing countries in Asia. He worked as a consultant with insurance and mission critical system development at a company called Manulife. The purpose of his study abroad at FTU was to join an internship at a local company in Vietnam. “In my case, I wanted to study insurance market of Asia. Therefore, before going to Vietnam, I asked the university to participate in an internship. I’m glad I was able to conduct the studies this way”, tells Takahiro. “As a trend in the global insurance market it is important to strategically enter the Asian market and I could feel the momentum of economic growth in Vietnam.” Vietnam shows great example Despite the COVID-19 outbreak, Vietnam has been able to maintain their economy in control. The country has shown great example on how to handle global threats. The quick and efficient actions the Vietnamese government took during the situation might benefit them and attract potential foreign investors and businesses in the future.

In 2020 over forty-five artists have been working at ROZENSTRAAT’s space to independently create a Gesamtkunstwerk inspired by the exceptional and mythic year 2020. The project, in which ‘the unknown’ and a conscious lack of control were leading, started with a small number of artists who were approached by the ROZENSTRAAT team. This selection was made based on age and experience, gender and nationality to stimulate diversity as much as possible. Each artist invited another artist, and another, creating an uncontrolled trace of artists. Further development of the project thus was completely outside the control of ROZENSTRAAT. Loosely based on the cadavre exquis principle, this set up replicated the idea of uncertainty but also of improvisation. 2020 can be regarded as a time-document of an unprecedented period in which the importance of resilience, solidarity and connectedness rarely has been so clear. The project reflected on the past and speculated on the future by uniting an amalgam of perspectives by artists based in, or strongly connected to, Amsterdam. This made it unintentionally also a project that maps and connects social networks. With 2020, ROZENSTRAAT wanted to show solidarity with artists in Amsterdam and also to spread its network in an organic way. Participating artists were: Tyna Adebowale, Salim Bayri, Sema Bekirovic, Renata de Bonis, Nadie Borggreve, Simnikiwe Buhlungu, Koen Doodeman, Maartje Fliervoet, Hreinn Fridfinnsson, Marije Gertenbach, Gluklya, Paul Goede, G.

Our 36″ single row curved 180w light bar offers a sleek, low profile design. This light throws 14,400 lumens from the top of the line CREE LED chips! The single row line comes in either curved or straight design. The curved design gives a wider spread of light with the beam angle of 120° spread of light. Not only do you get a wider spread of light but the bars curved design cosmetically matches up with the curve of the vehicle. Some people think that the single row light bars are less bright than the double row. This is not the case. The single row bars use 5-watt LED chips and have a projector optic on each chip that gives a 15 to 20% boost of light adding 1 watt per inch. This means that the single row light bar is giving the light of 6 watts per inch, which is equal to the double row light bar. The single row bars are popular for tighter spaces and those who wish to have a low-profile design that is also functional. Made from military grade cast aluminum housing with a nearly indestructible poly-carbonate Lexan composite lens. Yes, we tested it!

About the course The ethos of this Intercollegiate Basic Surgical Skills Course (BSSC) is to install core surgical skills at the very start of a surgeon's training by teaching the correct basic technique. Junior Trainees pursuing a career in surgery are expected to be able to perform a range of basic surgical skills prior to commencing specialty surgical training. These skills are not specifically covered during their foundation or core training placements. A total of 12 CPD points are awarded for attendance in this course Aims & Objectives: The Basic Surgical Skills course has been running since 1994, with the involvement of all four UK and Ireland Colleges of Surgeons, and is designed to teach the essential basic technical skills required of a surgeon, instilling good practice at the early stages of training. Participants are introduced to the principles underpinning the various techniques with individual tuition and under the expert supervision of consultant surgeons. Participants are assessed throughout the course and issues with a certificate upon successful completion. The course is held over two days with a series of demonstrations and extensive hands on sessions. Techniques are practiced using a combination of prepared animal tissue, synthetic models and simulation. On completion of this course, participants will be able to: - Demonstrate an appropriate procedure for 'gowning' and 'gloving' in accordance with recommended standards of practice - Tie a variety of reliable knots, including, surgical reef knots and the Aberdeen knot and tying at depth. - Describe correct handling and use of surgical instruments. - Suture a variety of tissues, including skin, bowel, vascular tissue and tendons - Perform abscess drainage and contaminated wound debridement in accordance with the basic principles of wound management. - Demonstrate safe fine tissue handling utilising small bowel, vascular and tendon models for basic anastomoses technique. - Demonstrate an understanding of basic diathermic technique. - Demonstrate effective management of ergonomic issues commonly encountered in endoscopic surgery. FY1 (6 months in a surgical training post is a pre-requisite), FY2, ST1/CT1 & ST2/CT2

Sleep is important to our health and wellbeing as without proper rest our brain cannot work properly. We all know the refreshing feel when we enjoy a good night sleep and the irritation we feel when we have insufficient sleep. We need at least 6-9 hours of sleep daily, during which we go through several sleep cycles. Each cycle consists of several sleep stages. Each cycle begins with the Non Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) stage which then progresses to Rapid EYE Movement (REM) stage during which we dream. The NREM consists of about 80% of our sleep cycle. It has been proven that light therapy has been successful in providing relief for people with irregular sleep cycle. Our sleep cycles are governed by our internal biological clock. Researchers have proven that exposure to outdoor light is essential in maintaining our internal biological clock. With the modern lifestyle, most of the adults spend their day indoors with artificial light. This leaves them in a state of light deficiency, the indoor lights are not bright enough to mimic that of the suns. This inadvertently affects our internal biological clock’s operation. In addition to this, the hormone melatonin in the body helps promote sleepiness in the body and maintains the sleep cycle. Melatonin, which acts as a marker of your circadian phase or biological timing, is deactivated with bright light. Melatonin reduction will obviously affect your sleep. That is where bright light therapy comes in. It is usually administered to people who suffer from circadian rhythm sleep disorders. Light therapy can help reset your biological clock so that you can fall back into your regular sleep pattern and lead a normal life. Life therapy is very simple and involves exposing your eyes to intense but safe amounts of light for a specific and regular length of time. This artificial light mimics the outdoor light and used to affect the body clock in the same way that sunlight does. It uses visible light and filters out ultraviolet light. The most common form of administering the light therapy is through a light box. This form of therapy has been proven to be most successful in resetting the sleep patterns in patients. Light therapy is also used for people suffering from jet lag as this hastens their ability to adapt to the new time zone.

What Are the Signs I Need a New Furnace? A new furnace is a big investment and can be a heavy cost for any homeowner. It may be hard to make the decision to replace your current furnace, but every furnace will need to be replaced at some point in a home’s life. How do you know when it is time to say good-bye to the furnace in your home? A typical furnace can last up to 15 to 20 years. This is heavily dependent on how well you have maintained it during its life and if you have had professional maintenance performed on a regular basis. A telltale sign of a furnace in need of replacement is the increased cost and frequency of repairs. As a furnace nears the end of its life, the frequency of which it needs repairing will increase, sometimes exponentially. The cost of each repair will also begin to climb. A good rule of thumb is that if the cost of repair nears or exceeds 50 percent of the cost to replace the furnace, it is time to replace it. However, even if the repair is only 10 percent of the replacement cost, and your furnace is on the older side, you should talk to one of the professionals in our office about whether or not it is worth the repair and if a replacement is recommended. One of the experts in our office can give you a detailed cost-vs.-performance assessment of the current heating system. Another sign of being in need of a new furnace is that your heating bills have risen dramatically. Furnace and HVAC systems have gotten more and more efficient over the years, particularly in the last five to ten years. If your furnace is more than a decade old, even though it may have a number of years left in it, it is probably nowhere near the efficiency of some of the newer models out there. The fact is that older furnaces simply cannot heat as effectively as their newer counterparts. It’s similar to cars––ones that were built in the early 2000s lack the fuel efficiency of cars built in recent years. Talk to one of our certified technicians about the AFUE rating (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, i.e., a thermal efficiency measure) for your furnace and how upgrading to a new model furnace can save you money on your heating bill. CONTACT US today if you have any further questions about repairing or replacing your furnace.

There’s a family I know in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia that has made maple syrup for over a century. As they are now short-handed of youngsters leaving for city work and the retainers get older and frailer, I offered to help this year. I sat down with Gary in his sugar shack. He is the older of two brothers who manage the operation. They had already checked the network of tubes tapped into sugar maple trees that crisscross the wooded slopes. The sap runs along the plastic channels toward a main line to finally reach a large tank outside the shack. “In the past we tapped each tree separately,” he told me. “Before we left for school, while it was still dark, we had to bring down heavy buckets full of sap from the woods.” “I guess winters were harder in those days,” I said. “This is another mild one.” “Oh yeah. It started snowing in November and the ground was covered until March, even April. Blizzards piled snow high as fence posts.” His brother Ronnie came inside. As first I didn’t recognize him in the dense steam filling the room. “Hi. We need the extractor to clear the air,” he said, wafting a hand to clear the fog. “I’m up for that,” I chipped in. “When your family started making syrup was it to supplement farm income in winter?” “Not at all.” It was Gary who replied. “What our Granddaddy made was the only source of sweetness for the family. He never bought sugar at the store.” “Nowadays, we only make it to keep the tradition going, and sales just about cover our costs,” Ronnie added. Before we fixed the extractor on the tin roof, I brought in some logs from the huge pile they had cut and split last year. It’s cheaper to boil sap over wood fires than use electric or gas heaters. There’s no shortage of wood in and around the Monongahela forest. Much of their equipment is homemade and looks antique. Harvesting sap doesn’t cost a penny when it runs by gravity and is boiled with local wood, but costly in time and effort. The fluid is fed into a large tank over the first fire which is kept alight around the clock. If it starts foaming Ronnie squirts from a proprietary bottle to raise the surface tension. In the old days they used a piece of bacon. The warmed sap passes to the evaporator, the most modern part of the system, where it bubbles over a second fire and generate clouds of steam. 100 gallons of sap is concentrated to about 2 gallons of syrup. We threw logs on the fires every half hour to keep them hot. Ronnie checked the specific gravity of the liquor with a hydrometer (looking like a long thermometer): the optimum is a narrow band. It’s obvious when a sugar shack is making maple syrup. While one chimney smokes from a log fire another belches steam from the evaporator. The process runs for up to a month. I asked Gary to explain the daily cycle. “Sap don’t flow at night cos of freezin, but starts when it warm up.” When a tree gets warmer its interior pressure rises and sap flows up the xylem tubes to drip out of holes tapped through the bark, like blood oozing out of a wound. The sugar synthesized in the leaves by photosynthesis the previous summer has been stored in the tree as starch (a polymer of glucose). As spring approaches it is mobilized ahead of the season of growing shoots and leaves, and very slightly sweetens the sap. The yellow-bellied sapsucker knows this too as it drills holes in smaller boughs. When the bird returns it may find an insect in the sticky sap, and enjoy the protein morsel in a carbohydrate sauce in dead of winter. During cold weather tree roots remain unfrozen and soil moisture is drawn into them by the process of osmosis to generate “root pressure.” Sap rises up the tree in the xylem. That’s the principle, although plant physiology is more complicated. I love to see a family honoring a time-honored process using equipment and principles I can understand in an era when the technology I use is beyond my comprehension. Besides, making maple syrup is a gentle art that does no harm to trees or wildlife.

All of the Indian residents and employees of the central and state governments in India, both retired and not, have been patiently waiting for the 8th Pay Commission for a very long time. The populace is eagerly anticipating this. We will inform you about the announcement date, how to obtain the 8th pay commission, the benefits and consequences of the 8th pay commission, and the definition of the 8th pay commission in this post. Latest updates on the 8th Pay Commission 2023. The pay panel for the eighth pay commission won’t be created until 2024. The recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission Date may be implemented starting on January 1st, 2026. The existing pay matrix table’s principles will be carried over into the new pay matrix that the 8th Pay Commission will adopt. Make sure you check out the latest announcement on 8th Pay Commission. 8th Pay Commission Highlights |Article Title||8th pay commission| |Year of Announcement||2024 (Tentative)| |Year of Implementation||2026 (Tentative)| Scheduled for the 8th Pay Commission, the employees of the state and federal governments have been anxiously and patiently waiting for it for a long time. It is envisaged that its implementation in 2024 will be possible before the general election. Nevertheless, it won’t become effective until January 1, 2026. This is supposed to also be founded in 1034 and continue to exist beyond January 1st, 2026. The commission may recommend a new pay matrix for the employees that adhere to the same rules as the present pay metrics, or it may recommend a different strategy. Nevertheless, there is not a single piece of information on the announced event, therefore that statement cannot be made with accuracy. Nonetheless, you will learn about the eighth pay commission’s pay matrix and the timetable of the most recent update from this article. Despite the absence of any official information, there is widespread speculation that Narendra Modi will take the helm in the near future as the 8th Pay Commission for government employees is established. In spite of the government’s claim that “No such plan is under discussion with the government for the formation of the 8th Central Pay Commission for the workers of the central government,” these charges only began to circulate a few months after the government’s statement to that effect. Whether the government intended to promote the speedy formation of the Pay Commission for central government employees in order for it to be implemented by January 1st, 2026, was the subject of a response from Pankaj Chaudhary, Minister of State for Finance. The panel’s recommendations were passed into law at the start of 2016 and are currently still in effect. 8th Pay Commission Date Owing to the next elections, the 8th pay commission date is anticipated to be set in 2024, while it was announced way back in 2019. Employers in the Indian government sector include both the military and the civil service. These panels normally only exist for ten years at a time and cannot last that long. The government issued a reform of certain items about that in the eighth pay commission in order to adjust the pay scale spent on sons and other perks. Nevertheless, the data office has not declared that they can extend the date up to one or two years owing to the pandemic era and other factors influencing India’s progress. You can also check out these Articles - 8th Pay Commission - Creed 3 Release Date - REI Gift Card Balance - Allen Scholarship Test 2023 - John Wick 4 Release Date - Flash Movie Release Date - IRS Return Schedule 2023 - IRS Fourth Stimulus Update Today Creating a new pay commission might take around ten years. Any other government areas would attempt to create new regulations and pay commissions in accordance with the new India and the country’s development policies without imposing any delays. 8th Pay Commission Due Date The 8th Pay Commission Due Date may be put into effect in January 2026. And even though, the Indian government has not yet made the official date public. The likelihood of the date being announced in February 2024 is strong. For government workers, this would be a significant adjustment. Those who pay have been constant for a long time and may see an increase of between 20 and 30 percent. Nonetheless, the government will make an effort to create a new pay matrix while taking into account all of the changes, job fairs, and other potentialities that might secure additional employment in India. 8th Pay Commission Pay Matrix After the proposal, maybe in January of 2026, this 8th Pay commission pay matrix will become a reality. Nevertheless, due to the length of those years and the COVID-19 pandemic years, it may be prolonged by up to one or two years. Government workers’ lives will undergo a significant transformation as a result of the seventh pay commission. One of the primary recommendations from the eighth pay commission is that all government employees’ pay scales are subject to revision and that beneficiaries’ retirement benefits might increase by around 25%. According to reports, central government personnel might receive a wage raise of 20% to 30%. Prior to the VI CPC’s implementation, pay scales were in force. The VI CPC recommended Pay Bands Utilizing Grade Pay as the Status Determiner. The use of a pay matrix that divides different pay levels is advised by the Seventh Central Pay Commission. The Level will then decide the requirement. For government workers, the 8th Pay Commission compensation slab would represent a significant adjustment. Over many years, those who pay must continue to do the same. After this 8th Pay Commission, the compensation can be raised by around 10% to 20%. The country’s inflation rate is rising, but government salaries are not keeping up, therefore the government may decide to amend some laws and regulations to enable it to operate more safely than it did previously. Thus, the 8th Pay Commission Salary Update is the main topic here.

The US and South Korea have gotten a milestone arrangement to counter the North Korean atomic danger. Washington has consented to occasionally send US atomic outfitted submarines to South Korea and include Seoul in its atomic arranging activities. Consequently, South Korea has consented to not foster its own atomic weapons. The Washington Statement will fortify the partners’ co-activity in discouraging a North Korean assault, US President Joe Biden said. Concern has been ascending on the two sides about the atomic danger presented by North Korea. Pyongyang is creating strategic atomic weapons that can target South Korea, and refining its long-range weapons that can arrive at the US central area. The US as of now has a settlement commitment to shield South Korea, and has recently swore to utilize atomic weapons if vital. Yet, some in South Korea have begun to uncertainty that responsibility and require the country to seek after its own atomic program. The South Korean President, Yoon Suk-yeol, who was at the White House for a state visit, said the Washington Announcement denoted an “extraordinary” responsibility by the US to improve safeguard, deflect assaults and safeguard US partners by utilizing atomic weapons. South Koreans want the nuclear bomb Under the new arrangement, the US will make its safeguard responsibilities more noticeable by sending an atomic equipped submarine to South Korea without precedent for 40 years, alongside other vital resources, including atomic skilled planes. The different sides will likewise foster an Atomic Consultative Gathering to examine atomic arranging issues. Lawmakers in Seoul have for some time been pushing Washington to include them more in making arrangements for how and when to utilize atomic weapons against North Korea. As North Korea’s atomic armory has filled in size and refinement, South Koreans have become careful about being kept in obscurity over what might set off Mr Biden to press the atomic button for their benefit. A trepidation that Washington could leave Seoul has prompted calls for South Korea to foster its own atomic weapons. This new Atomic Consultative Gathering marks the container, giving the expanded inclusion the South Korean government has been requesting. In any case, the greater inquiry is whether it will suppress the public’s nerves. It doesn’t ink a complete responsibility from the US that it would utilize atomic weapons to protect South Korea assuming North Korea were to assault.In any case, on Wednesday Mr Biden said: “An atomic assault by North Korea against the US or its partners and accomplices is unsuitable and will bring about the finish of anything system were to make a such a move.” President Biden said the US was proceeding with endeavors to return North Korea once again to the arranging table. Washington says Pyongyang has overlooked various solicitations to talk without preconditions. The US desires to persuade North Korea to surrender its atomic weapons, yet last year the North Korean pioneer Kim Jong Un pronounced the country’s atomic status “irreversible”. A few specialists say it currently seems OK to examine arms control instead of denuclearisation.

Source and equilibration studies of xenoliths from the Caledonian granites of Scotland MetadataShow full item record The origin of the dark microdioritic inclusions within I-type granitoids has been the subject of much debate and speculation. These 'xenoliths' have been variously ascribed to restite or cognate crystallisation (autoliths), wall rocks (accidental xenoliths), exotic (mantle) magmas and immiscible liquids. The object of this study was to test between these potential sources of inclusions and processes and to investigate whether such inclusions can be used to provide information on the petrogenesis of the host pluton and the nature of the source region(s) as well as processes of compositional zoning. The approach used was to study inclusions and their host rocks from three zoned plutons in the Caledonian of Scotland, namely Strontian, Ballachulish and Criffell. These were investigated petrographically, by whole rock major and trace element analysis and by Sr and Nd isotopes. Interpretation of the equilibration between inclusion and host benefitted from theoretical considerations of diffusion. It was found that for most 'igneous' inclusions Sr isotopes had thoroughly equilibrated, hosts and inclusions normally having identical Sr initial ratios. However the microdioritic inclusions normally retain a more primitive signature in their Nd isotopes (normally up to +2 Nd units greater than the host) precluding cognate, restite or immiscibility origins and are quite different from local country rocks. Most 'igneous' inclusions thus appear to have an exotic source of more primitive composition, presumably the upper mantle. The appinites of the Strontian pluton were also investigated as part of a study of coexisting acid-basic melts in granitoid plutons. It is shown that these appinites have quenched liquid contacts with the granitoid hosts and some degree of mixing between appinitic magma and host granitoid has given rise to a reverse zonation pattern in composition and texture. The isotopic data for the appinites of Strontian and for inclusions and their host granitoids in the Strontian and Criffell plutons point to a model for the initiation of granitoid magma genesis in the crust by advection of heat through transfer of basaltic magma from the upper mantle. Some of this magma is incorporated in the granitoid magma as basaltic inclusions which gradually become modified towards dioritic compositions. The characteristics of this mantle derived magma and the granitoid crustal source do not vary significantly between Strontian and Criffell in terms of Nd isotope model ages. This is a remarkable finding considering the very different tectonic settings and suggests greater similarities at deeper lithospheric levels. The study of Nd isotopes in xenolithic inclusions in granitoids has been shown to provide at least as much additional information on the petrogenesis of granitoid plutons as the conventional study of their host rocks, but a complementary study of Sr isotopes is not particularly useful. This investigation provides some of the theoretical basis for this and presents a methodology for carrying out such investigations.

ATLANTA — The latest edition of the LexisNexis® Risk Solutions Insurance Demand Meter reports the quarterly year-over-year U.S. auto insurance shopping growth rate rose 10.2% in Q1 2023, up from +2.8% growth in Q4 2022 as auto insurers continue to implement widespread rate increases. New policy growth, or the rate at which consumers either switched or purchased new coverage, continues to be a big story. It was up a staggering 17% for the quarter compared to Q1 2022, and also increased from 10.2% growth in Q4 2022, continuing the record upward streak from November 2022. “We’re still seeing record-high shopping activity and new policy purchasing as auto insurance rates continue to soar,” said Adam Pichon, senior vice president of Auto Insurance and Claims at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. “We are starting to see some stabilization in the market, however, with claim frequencies flattening out the last few quarters and severities rising at a slower clip. But until claims severity levels off and vehicle sales begin to rise again nationwide, it is likely insurers are going to continue to take rate, so we do expect to see shopping activity remain volatile at least into the next quarter as insurers grapple with macroeconomic conditions.” Record-breaking shopping: who is shopping where, and how are vehicle sales impacting auto insurance rates and shopping? In January, the exclusive and independent agent (IA) distribution channels saw 12% growth, with the IA channel growing by 11% in February and 9% in March. By comparison, the exclusive channel slowed to 5% growth by the end of the quarter. In the direct channel, growth in January was modest, but ended at a whopping 17% by the end of March. The rate at which shoppers switched or purchased coverage was up across all demographics, continuing the trend from Q4. Early in the quarter, the 36-45-year-old age group accounted for strong growth, but that reversed to more traditional patterns in mid-February as older shoppers began to outpace younger shoppers. As noted last quarter, older age demographics, especially those in the 55-65-year-old group that have not historically shopped at a high rate and were not likely to switch when they did shop, are now shopping and switching at an accelerated pace. “Vehicle sales, especially drops in purchases of used vehicles, are still playing a key role in the dramatic increases in shopping as vehicle purchases are closely aligned to shopping and switching events,” said Chris Rice, associate vice president of strategic business intelligence at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. “Shopping that pertains to a vehicle sale held steady at around 27% for new vehicles and 36% for used, but the downtick in vehicle sales overall caused a drop in all shopping attributed to vehicle purchases, which can naturally lead to premium increases and more shopping and purchasing in each of the aforementioned age demographics.” “Another key factor to keep in mind is that Q1 is when we typically have seen a boost in shopping due to the Earned Income Tax Credit,” continued Rice. “After relatively muted tax season shopping the past two years when the federal government distributed those credits earlier than normal, we saw more of a return to the norm in Q1 as those tax credits hit consumers’ wallets during the traditional time period we normally see.” A Look Ahead Coming off of 2022’s high shopping volumes, there is a possibility that the second half of 2023 could see a slowdown in shopping growth trends. Multiple factors will be at play in the coming months as insurers keep a close eye on claims severity and frequency, as well as the potential for changing economic conditions and the related impact on new and used vehicle sales. Still, in the near-term, Pichon said to expect more rate-taking in Q2 from insurers, which could lead to continued shopping volatility. “Insurers are more likely to continue taking rate until claims cool down, but vehicle sales are something to watch very closely for the remainder of 2023,” said Pichon. “If claims severity and frequencies continue to level out and economic conditions improve to the extent that more cars become available for purchase and consumers have the means to do so, we very well may see the shopping growth pendulum begin to tick back to more normal levels. We’re at a bit of an inflection point in the market, and the second half of 2023 can provide opportunities for insurers who are leveraging data and analytics to more effectively assess risk and address profitability head on.” About the LexisNexis Insurance Demand Meter The LexisNexis Insurance Demand Meter is a quarterly analysis of shopping volume and frequency, new business volume and related data points.

Check Engine Light Diagnostics Check Engine Light Diagnostics in Everett, WA Expert CEL Diagnostics and Repair Overview of the Check Engine Light The check engine light (CEL) is an ambiguous warning light, as it can signal a variety of issues. Essentially, it is the messenger of your onboard diagnostics system (OBD-II). The OBD-II system constantly monitors all major functions of your vehicle, including the engine and transmission, through various sensors. If it detects an issue with a system or function, it catalogs it in your vehicle’s internal computer and prompts the CEL to illuminate. The part that gets cataloged is known as the diagnostic trouble code (DTC), also known as an error code. This code provides information on what and where the problem is and is retrieved through a diagnostics service. At ONB Automotive Repair in Everett, Washington, we possess the know-how and tools to properly run diagnostics, inspect the vehicle, and fix the problem. We have decades of collective experience performing check engine light diagnostics and repair for all makes and models. If your check engine light has come on, get in touch with us today! What Does the Check Engine Light Mean? While it is called the check engine light, problems with the transmission, exhaust, electrical, and others can trigger it to come on. Some of the most common reasons for the CEL are a faulty oxygen sensor, loose or damaged gas cap, failed catalytic converter, malfunctioning mass air flow sensor, bad ignition coils, and faulty EGR valve. Along with the illumination of the CEL, you may experience symptoms of a problem such as reduced power, rough idling, increased fuel consumption, strange noises, colored exhaust smoke, or overheating. It’s important to have a professional address the underlying issue causing the check engine light to prevent potential damage to your vehicle and restore optimal, safe performance. When the check engine light illuminates, we recommend scheduling an appointment at your earliest convenience.

You think that YOU have a lot of snow? You should see it at the North Pole right now! Of course, we’re used to a lot of snow. But today we’re celebrating 10 months until Christmas Eve by taking a snow day. Can you believe it? Only ten months until Santa flies again! A snow day at the North Pole does not happen very often. In fact, it only happens on average maybe once every five or six years. We are used to getting a lot of snow at the North Pole. So honestly the only time work stops here because of snow is when Santa just wants to go out and play in the stuff. Early this morning the emergency whistle here at the North Pole sounded. It is a special whistle that means “all stop”, meaning stop working and listen for an important announcement. Santa blew that whistle and said work was over for the day and that all would assemble outside soon for “snow duty”. And that means just one thing: a massive snowball fight. Mrs. Claus, believe it or not, loves snowball fights. It means the elves can make as big a mess as they want because it is all outside and there is only snow. So it is a fun day for us. We know there will be serious business to get back to tomorrow. But for today, we’re messing around in the snow that has piled high here at the North Pole since Christmas. We have at least two more months of winter here so we expect a lot more snow before we start to see the signs of spring. Work on Operation Merry Christmas 2015 continues at a brisk pace. We are told things are going well. For those asking, no — the reindeer have not left the North Pole for the season. That comes maybe a month from now. They are all still here. And no, Santa does not yet have a new sleigh to test fly. But thanks for asking. — Elf Ernest

Would losing the Republican presidential nomination mellow Gov. Ron DeSantis? The leader of the state House Democrats doesn’t necessarily think so, but she does think the balance of power between the Capitol’s Plaza Level and Fourth Floor might shift. The Plaza contains the governor’s office; the House and Senate chambers are on the Fourth Floor. “Tallahassee was broken in a lot of ways before this governor, but this governor in particular has found ways to exploit that brokenness and bend it and wield it to his advantage in a way that we’d not seen before,” Fentrice Driskell, representing the Tampa area in the House, said on a Zoom call with reporters Monday. “Should DeSantis lose the Republican primary, he comes back here, he’ll have to face all of these problems that he’s either ignored or created in Florida. And I think he comes back to a Legislature as a lame duck [governor] and he’s also weaker. So, I don’t know that the Legislature is going to play ball with him in the same way that they have previously,” she continued. DeSantis will retain the power to veto budget items dear to individual House members and senators, retaining that leverage, Driskell said. And the Republican Party will retain control of the “triumvirate” of Florida governance: the executive, including governor’s office and independently elected Cabinet members, the House, and the Senate, she added. “There are no real checks and balances in terms of making sure that the voices of all Floridians are heard,” she said. Republicans won supermajorities in the state House and Senate last year. They used their power to push through severe restrictions on abortion, permitless carry rights for gun owners, and insurance reforms that have done little to control premiums while crimping policyholders’ ability to sue for non- or underpayment of claims.

Dulquer Salmaan, a PAN India star known for his versatile performances, is back on the big screen with the gangster action drama, "King of Kotha." Directed by Abhilash Joshiy and featuring a talented ensemble cast including Aishwarya Lekshmi, Dancing Rose Shabeer, Prasanna, Nyla Usha, Anika Surendran, Chemban Vinod, Gokul Suresh, and Shanthi Krishna, the movie aims to captivate audiences with its gripping storyline. However, does "King of Kotha" live up to the expectations? Let's dive deeper into this review to find out. "King of Kotha" revolves around the notorious drug lord Khanna Bhai (Dancing Rose Shabeer) in the town of Kotha. C.I. Shahul Haasan (Prasanna) embarks on a mission to dismantle the drug mafia, but his attempts prove futile. Shahul discovers that Kotha was once under the control of Raju (Dulquer Salmaan), who was a dear friend of Khanna Bhai. However, circumstances led to a bitter fallout between Raju and Khanna Bhai. The story explores the reasons behind their separation and Shahul Haasan's role in the conflict. Dulquer Salmaan, known for his exceptional acting prowess, delivers a commendable performance as Raju. He effortlessly brings his character to life, portraying a man determined to eradicate the drug mafia. His portrayal of Raju in the action sequences adds an extra layer of intensity to the film. Dancing Rose, also known as Shabeer Kallarakkal, impresses with his convincing portrayal of a gangster. He embraces the role with finesse, adding depth to his character. Chemban Vinod's portrayal of a character with a humorous English diction provides some light-hearted moments, evoking decent laughs throughout the film. The Weak Storyline One of the major drawbacks of "King of Kotha" is its lackluster storyline. The film fails to offer anything new or innovative in the gangster drama genre. Despite the efforts of Dulquer Salmaan and Dancing Rose to uplift the film with their performances, the weak narrative significantly hampers the overall impact. The film suffers from a slow-paced narrative that demands considerable patience from the viewers. The editing team's failure to trim down prolonged sequences adds to the film's dragging feel. Furthermore, the plot becomes highly predictable, and the climax feels unnecessarily stretched. Character Impact and Writing Apart from Dulquer Salmaan, Dancing Rose, and Chemban Vinod, the remaining characters lack impact and fail to leave a lasting impression on the audience. While the film's production values are commendable, more attention should have been given to the writing aspect to create a well-rounded and engaging storyline. The music in "King of Kotha" composed by Jakes Bejoy and Shaan Rahman is average, but the background score by Jakes Bejoy proves to be a saving grace for the film. The period setting of the movie is beautifully captured by Nimish Ravi's excellent cinematography. The art direction team deserves applause for recreating the bygone era with authenticity. However, the editing falls short, failing to enhance the overall pacing of the film. Director Abhilash Joshiy's execution of the film leaves much to be desired. Given the routine storyline, more creativity and magic were expected in the narrative. The director's failure to address the lengthy runtime further adds to the film's drawbacks. While the presence of talented actors can elevate a film, it cannot compensate for weak writing. In conclusion, "King of Kotha" falls short of expectations, resulting in a disappointing gangster action drama. While Dulquer Salmaan delivers a stellar performance, the weak storyline and slow-paced narrative hinder the film's impact. The predictability and unnecessarily stretched climax further diminish the overall viewing experience. Despite its technical strengths, "King of Kotha" fails to offer an engaging and innovative take on the gangster genre.

If you are bothered by little black bugs in your garden, chances are they are flea beetles. The tiny black bugs on plants are quite bothersome and pose a threat to a wide variety of vegetable crops. In this article, we describe flea beetles and the damage they cause and share advice to help you deal with them. Why Are These Small Black Bugs Called Flea Beetles? These pests are not related to fleas in any way, but they do have one similarity. Like their namesake, these small, shiny black beetles have powerful back legs allowing them to cover a lot of space in a single hop. Like fleas, these beetles are very small. At full maturity, they are only about a sixteenth of an inch long. They tend to congregate in great numbers on plants and hop about wildly when disturbed, so the resemblance to fleas is unmistakable. Although the bugs are often black, this is not always the case. They can come in tan or brown, making them look even more like fleas. In some cases, they are spotted. It all depends upon the species of flea beetle in question. What Kind Of Damage Do Flea Beetles Cause? The damage caused by flea beetles is most evident early in the springtime when they emerge from overwintering in woodlands and brushy areas. As soon as the temperature hits 50º degrees Fahrenheit (10° C), they awaken from their slumber ready for breakfast. The adult beetles like to feast on plant leaves, and they are especially fond of tender young leaves. They will make their way to your new seedlings first, and soon you’ll see “shot-holes” in all your fresh, young leaves. If left untreated, your young seedlings will look as if they are made of green lace. This type of predation can kill very young plants. Later in the growing season, if flea beetles attack mature plants, their damage may be unsightly, but it is unlikely to kill the plant. The exception to this is flea beetles, like other types of pests, are vectors for illness. These beetles may carry the bacteria causing blight and wilt from one plant to another. This can have a seriously detrimental effect on your crops. To mitigate the potential damage flea beetles may cause, have your soil tested for the presence of bacteria. This will give you some idea of exactly what harm may come from flea beetle infestation. Talk with your county extension agent to find out about solutions for any bacterial problems present in your soil. What Can You Do To Get Rid Of These Little Black Bugs? Luckily, there are many ways to repel and overcome flea beetles. Try some of these tips: 1 – Make a natural flea beetle spray by combining five cups of water, two cups of isopropyl alcohol, and a tablespoonful of natural liquid soap, such as Dr. Bronner’s castile soap. Spray this mixture liberally onto plants infested with flea beetles. Be sure to test a small area first and wait 24 hours in case of adverse effects. This mixture will kill the pests on contact, but it does not have residual effects. 2 – Repel flea beetles by dusting your plants with diatomaceous earth or with talcum powder. Both of these substances are unpleasant to these pests. Diatomaceous earth will have the effect of killing the beetles (and any other insect it comes in contact with like fungus gnats) by drying out bodily fluids. 3 – Strategically placed sticky traps are effective against flea beetles. The downside is sticky traps are indiscriminate and will also entrap beneficial insects and even small wildlife such as hummingbirds. 4 – Early in the growing season, you may wish to use insecticides to protect your young plants, but this should be a temporary solution. It is not usually necessary for flea beetle infestation of mature plants. What Can You Do To Prevent Flea Beetle Infestation? 1 – Flea beetles will emerge from overwintering when the weather warms up, whether or not there is anything to eat. Delaying planting for a couple of weeks can deprive them of food and cause them to move on before you get your crops out. 2 – Place row covers over your newly planted crops to keep flea beetles out. Put the covers in place as soon as you put your seedlings out. You must take great care to seal the row covers completely because these beetles are very small. 3 – Mix some repellent plants in with your veggies. Flea beetles hate basil and catnip, so interspersing your veggie rows with these can keep flea beetles away. As a bonus, basil planted with tomatoes improves the flavor of the tomatoes. On the downside, catnip attracts and inebriates cats, and drunken cats may be more damaging to your veggies than flea beetles. 4 – At the end of the growing season, after the weather has cooled, till your garden thoroughly to unearth flea beetles in hiding. Exposing them to cold temperatures will kill them. A Healthy, Balanced Garden Is Inhospitable To Flea Beetles Encouraging predatory insects, birds, reptiles, and amphibians to live in your garden is always a good idea for controlling flea beetles and all manner of other insect pests. Having a healthy population of natural garden helpers can eliminate the need for pesticides. One of the best natural enemies of flea beetles is the Braconid wasp (Microctonus vittatae). The mature wasp will kill adult flea beetles. Additionally, the wasp larvae grow on female flea beetles and stop them from reproducing. Garden critters such as lizards, geckos, and toads also make short work of these little black insect bugs.

“Skinny bones, skinny bones,” the boy taunted. “Stick,” another chimed. In return, I could have chanted “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” But even as a little girl, I knew the popular rhyme wasn’t true. Unkind, thoughtless words did hurt—sometimes badly, leaving wounds that went deeper and lasted much longer than a welt from a stone or stick. Hannah certainly knew the sting of thoughtless words. Her husband, Elkanah, loved her, but she had no children, while his second wife, Peninnah, had many. In a culture where a woman’s worth was often based on having children, Peninnah made Hannah’s pain worse by continually “provoking her” for being childless. She kept it up until Hannah wept and couldn’t eat (1 Samuel 1:6–7). And Elkanah probably meant well, but his thoughtless response, “Hannah, why are you weeping? . . . Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?” (v. 8) was still hurtful. Like Hannah, many of us have been left reeling in the wake of hurtful words. And some of us have likely reacted to our own wounds by lashing out and hurting others with our words. But all of us can run to our loving and compassionate God for strength and healing (Psalm 27:5, 12–14). He lovingly rejoices over us—speaking words of love and grace. When have you been hurt by unkind words? What helped you to heal? Who needs to hear your grace-filled words? The historical setting of 1 Samuel 1 is critical to understanding the events recorded in this book. As 1 Samuel opens, it’s the end of the time of the judges, but it’s not yet the time of kings. Bridging that gap will be Samuel, the son who would be born to Hannah after her season of prayer at the tabernacle in Shiloh (1:9–20). Samuel’s role in the transition from judges to kings will include the fact that he’s the last of the judges and the first of the prophets. As a prophet, he would be responsible for anointing Israel’s first two kings: Saul, the kind of king the people wanted (10:17–24); and David, a man after God’s own heart (13:14).

The bluff. One of the most underutilized strategies in FPS games is bluffing. Misleading your opponent is often the best way to gain the advantage over him and I encourage players to do it as much as possible. In advanced matches such as Counter-Strike or COD, it can be as subtle as making a footstep so the other team hears you coming in one direction. More commonly, it will consist of you ‘accidentally’ showing yourself so the opposing team thinks you’re going in a certain direction. For example in de_dust2, a very popular Counter-Strike map, bluffing B would mean having a teammate make noise / shoot in the dark tunnel at B while the rest of the team waits hidden near their spawn at long A. The objective you are trying to acheive when bluffing is to make the other team react to your strategy. Sometimes this can be as little as having them look in a different direction, other times you’ll want them to change locations entirely. Successful bluffs will allow you to take your opponent by surprise, giving you the tactical advantage. The general rule is that the better the other team is, the more subtle your bluff must be. If you go in shooting in circles, they’ll know it’s just a bluff. If you accidentally make footstep sound… they’ll think it’s authentic. Overall, the hardest things in team bluff is making sure the other part of the team isn’t seen. Too often, the rest of the team is spotted and the the bluff is useless, at which point you’d be better not bluffing at all since it puts you at a disadvantage because you don’t have your entire team with you. – Use bluffs as much as possible, never let your opponent know what you’re going to do. – Always do the opposite of what your opponent expects – The most frequent mistake when bluffing is letting your opponent spot your bluff! – The better the team you are playing, the more subtle the bluff should be. – Bluffs allow you to gain a tactical advantage by having your opponent modify his strategy, if he isn’t reacting, then the bluff isn’t helping. Usually, if he doesn’t react well to bluffs, a full team rush is often the best tactic to use.

The biggest killer of whales and dolphins across the world is accidental capture in fishing gear, or ‘bycatch’. Several hundred thousand whales and dolphins are estimated to die this way each year.. Many others are injured. How big is the problem? There are very few parts of the ocean where there is fishing and this is not a serious issue. But, the extent of the threat, the species concerned and the fisheries involved vary and generally, are not well documented. To most individual fishermen, a whale or dolphin accidently encountering their gear is an infrequent event. No fisherman wants to catch a whale or dolphin by accident, and it is an upsetting event. But, given the size of the global fisheries, in 2006 it was estimated that the numbers of whales, dolphins and porpoises caught each year is in the hundreds of thousands. It’s a horrible way to die Most dolphins trapped underwater by fishing gear die of asphyxiation (suffocation). It’s likely that many suffer more stress and a longer time-to-death than animals in a slaughterhouse. The threat from fishing - facts - Hundreds of thousands of whales, dolphins and porpoises die in fishing operations annually. - Death in fishing gear can be slow - Bycatch has pushed vaquitas in the Gulf of California and Maui dolphins in New Zealand to the brink of extinction. - The survival of harbour porpoises in the Baltic Sea is threatened - Most of the endangered North Atlantic right whales and Gulf of Maine humpback whales off the US coast have been entangled in fishing gear. - Fishermen are not intentionally capturing whales and dolphins Whales, dolphins and porpoises can hold their breath for long periods of time. The smallest porpoise can remain underwater for over five minutes between breaths, and sperm whales can dive for over an hour between surfacing. The damage seen on bycaught individuals shows that many of them struggle desperately to escape and, often sustain horrific injuries. The severe injuries regularly seen in bycaught whales, dolphins and porpoises are evidence of the suffering victims go through. Rope and netting often cause cuts and abrasions to the skin, tightening as the individual struggles and cutting deeper into the flesh. In extreme cases, fins and tail flukes can be totally or partially amputated by the tightening gear. Bodies of bycaught dolphins are commonly recorded as having broken teeth, beaks or jaws and extreme internal injuries. Large whales who become entangled in fishing gear have been found with severe lacerations deep into their blubber and even into their bones. As large whales are often powerful enough to swim away and pull the gear with them, the rope continues to tighten and cut into their body over time, often resulting in a slow and painful death that can last months. For a more in-depth understanding of the issue, you might want to read our report ‘Shrouded by the Sea’. This study, based on research by the University of Bristol, reveals the harrowing details of how whales and dolphins slowly meet their death, many suffering extreme injuries in what can be a very drawn out underwater struggle. What is WDC doing? WDC campaigns to reduce and - where possible - eliminate whale and dolphin bycatch in fishing gear of all kinds.. - We work on government stakeholder teams where we help to develop regulations to reduce this threat. - We work with international forums, such as IWC and CMS, to develop policy and encourage national governments to do more to reduce bycatch. - We engage with fishermen, to find solutions. - We help to develop best practise to assist fishermen to reduce bycatch. - We push for and draft new legislation to improve existing bycatch measures. - We critically review existing legislation for its effectiveness. - We research vulnerable whale, dolphin and porpoise populations. - We campaign to raise awareness and let people know what they can do to help. Species most at risk North Atlantic right whale Fewer than 500 North Atlantic right whales remain, and less than 100 breeding females. We know that most of the whales have been entangled in fishing ropes during their lives. In 2017, at least 18 individuals died due to entanglements and ship strikes. WDC are working on the ground with all the stakeholders to come up with innovative and effective ways to prevent these deaths and to save this population. Vaquita are the most endangered porpoise or dolphin in the world, due to fishing with nets to catch totoaba for the Chinese market. They are only found in the northern park of Mexico's of the Gulf of California. Unless the fishing nets can be removed from their habitat, they will be extinct within the next decade. Only 63 Maui dolphins remain. The population has crashed because they get easily caught in fishing trawler and static gillnets.

Online casinos are great options for players who enjoy the thrill of live casino games. They are a safe and exciting way to play casino games. Live dealer games are broadcast by specialist third-party software providers. This type of casino game is available on any device. In addition to providing fun and excitement, live dealer games also offer additional security. To play live casino games, you must find a reputable casino site. Once you have found the right site, you should log in and open the gaming lobby. When you’re ready, you’ll be inserted into a live casino session with a live dealer. You can place your bets using a computerised chip or you can place your bets using the live dealer. Unlike traditional online casinos, live dealers allow players to chat with them. Live dealers also offer more betting options. A live dealer can give players more information about the game and the rules. Live dealers are more realistic than computer-generated virtual dealers. The dealer can even answer questions that players might have. As a result, you can expect the payout to be higher with live games. Live dealer casinos provide players with the excitement of a real casino, without leaving the comfort of their home. They feature real dealers and cards, and the games are streamed in HD. The downside is that live games are slower than standard casino games. Also, you may experience choppy connections and other technical issues. With the advancements in consumer graphics technology, online casino games are becoming more realistic and immersive. Even low-end devices are becoming capable of rendering high-quality images. In addition, internet technologies like 5G are advancing, making online games faster and more responsive. These advancements are making casino online games even more enjoyable.

I realize that I am all over the place with my posts, so I apologize in advance. :) After our Rooftop Adventure in China the team flew from Hong Kong to Los Angeles. In the evening light a view of Mt.Hood from the sky casting a long shadow in the evening light. With the time difference it was almost a 40 hr day when we landed in LA. We toured downtown LA after work and it was pretty interesting, though quiet for a city that size. The Comic-Con was happening so there was a lot of interesting Cosplay characters walking around. Victor found a hiking route not too far from the city. So we got up early on a Saturday and drove 45min NE to the Angeles National Forest. The hike is an 11 mile path called Mt. Baldy (San Antonio) Loop with a lot of elevations. Starting at 6160ft, we attack the steep ascend after passing the Manker Falls. The Baldy Bowl about halfway up. It was just one continuous climb and our calves were burning with every step. We just kept going up on the zig zags and taking short breaks under the shades. Finally getting to the top after gaining 3,900ft. The peak is 10,068 feet (3,069 m) and is covered by snow a big portion of the year. We ate the snacks that we had been saving, take a break and prepare for the descent. A group had brought up some extra props for Extreme Ironing, kudos to them! It was all loose gravel and the 3 of us didn’t have the proper footwear for it. Hiking along the Devil’s Backbone, it was a great view opening up on both sides. There was an option to take the cable car down but we chose to take a shortcut right beneath it. We were just doing a controlled slide down the hill. Driving back Los Angeles and leaving the mountains behind us. Meeting the rest of the group at Little Tokyo for supper, it was really lively with different performances. Sitting down and enjoying a delicious meal of shabu shabu!
