Any traveler does not want to experience a horrible stay, especially if you are battling against a horde of bedbugs. These notorious pests are sure to disturb you during your deep sleep at dawn. If you are not careful enough, you can even carry bedbugs on your way home and possibly develop an infestation. Find out below how you can avoid experiencing insane pest infestation in your house from an unforgettable vacation. Before You Reserve a Hotel Try to find out if the prospective hotel you want to visit has previous records of a bedbug infestation. Take this initial step during your planning stage. You can conduct prior research regarding bedbug complaints gathered by the bedbug registry in developed countries, including the US and UK. You can rely on infestation management reports from the local government agency where the hotel is located. In addition to credible data sources, you can also check customer reviews and social media pages to find out the experience of previous clients who stayed at your target hotel. However, be sure to read updated reviews, about less than 3 months old, as review posts with outdated date stamps will not be able to provide accurate information regarding the current pest bedbug situation of the hotel. Once You Get There Once you have decided on the hotel where you will sleep, do not put your luggage on the bed the moment you get there. Instead, bring the and other personal items to the bathroom or console tables then investigate around the room. Bedbugs do not hang out on cold tiles. However, expect their presence on the carpet floors, upholstered dashboard, and curtains. Check the nook and crannies of the bed, armchairs, and other furniture that can be infested with bedbugs. Also, avoid laying luggage or dirty clothes on the floor because bedbugs may crawl on them. Make sure to separate your dirty and clean clothes with a plastic bag. When You Get Home Once get home, avoid putting your luggage and other belongings on your sofa or bed. Take your dirty clothes to the washing machine right away and wash them. You can also use the dryer and set the heat cycle on for 20 minutes. As for the luggage, put it in a garbage bag with a pest strip and leave the bag in it for three days. Any typical pest spray can also be used to kill all types of bugs that may have sneaked on it. Also, avoid frustrating yourself because you just need to be proactive in dealing with bed bug problems. 5 Tips to Avoid Bringing Home Be Bugs from Your Hotel Stay Bedbugs problems may not seem serious at the beginning of your upcoming trip, but expect them to ruin your fun travel experience, especially if the hotel where you stayed is heavily infested with bed bugs. Who wants to be crawled with disgusting and itchy insects in the middle of deep sleep? If you are not aware of any presence of bedbugs in your hotel room, it’s no longer surprising that you will experience dreadful infestation woes from the first night of your stay until you get home. Find out below 5 useful tips to prevent these annoying bedbugs from reaching your private territory. Do a Wash It is still a good habit to wash clothes regularly before, during, and after the trip to eliminate bed bugs. Perhaps you can consider doing laundry during your hotel stay or hire the hotel laundry service, especially if you are moving from one travel destination to another. Before you pack for the trip home, request a hot water wash and 20 minutes of heat drying from the hotel staff, though this may incur some extra cost. If you still have enough time, also consider a dry cleaning service to help eliminate the annoying pest. But if you are not accustomed to laundry service during your hotel stay, make sure your dirty clothes are separated from the clean ones with a plastic bag, and do not open the plastic bag until you get in front of your washing machine at home. Keep Your Guard Up Be observant around the room and maintain a protective distance between your luggage and unused clothes on a shelf or luggage rack to keep a safe distance. Being paranoid is not bad, but you can avoid a potential infestation in your house when you do. If you want your travel experience and hotel stay to be memorable, It is good to be knowledgeable about the basic characteristics of bed bugs. You need to invite a certified exterminator to make sure the hotel place where you will stay is pest-free. Alternately, you can seek professional advice from an accredited bed bug sniffing dog company First Response BedBug Dogs to instantly detect any presence of bugs around. More than that, you need basic knowledge of what bed bugs look like and where they are often seen. The typical size of an adult bed bug is about the size of an apple seed or at least 4mm long. They usually resemble the smaller and flat version of the cockroach. Their presence is noticeable through tiny black dots of feces and wings under the bed mattress and various hidden spaces. Bed bugs are active at night time and dark spots of the area, so you won’t immediately notice them at first glance. Aside from the bottom of the mattress, you can also find bed bugs in holes, upholstered furniture, carpet floors, side tables, and drapes. If there is no presence of bed bugs during an inspection, your room is likely to have no pests. If there is any, request a room transfer from the management and move to another room away from the first inspected room. Head to the Bathroom Suppose you are a frequent traveler and often go to the hotel for accommodation, always remember the golden rule of not going straight to the bed to put the luggage and other belongings. Take your luggage to the bathroom instead because bed bugs do not hang out on the tiled floor. Any fabric, upholstered furniture, and curtains are considered a suitable environment for bed bugs. As discussed above, inspect the area around the room for signs of pest infestation first before unloading your belongings. As much as possible, do not place your things near the bed and adjacent furniture so that your luggage and clothes will not be invaded by bed bugs. Wrap your Bags You will find plastic bags useful whenever you travel and stay in a hotel. Bed bugs can penetrate porous materials, crevices, and cracks, but not in a well-sealed plastic, before the bags or any clear plastic bag. You can use garbage bags or any clear plastic that can pass the airport security check as well as survive the baggage handling. It is better to wrap your luggage with a plastic bag because bedbugs can infest your bag from the other bags during plane travel. Prior washing, wrapping, and inspecting processes can reduce your travel time, but you can be sure that your existing trip will not be wasted. Although hotel owners are willing to spend on bug extermination services to avoid loss of bookings and poor reviews, having, bug-free travel will always start with being extra vigilant.

What’s an isolated co-ed boarding school out in the wilds of Western Saskatchewan got to do with hockey in Japan? More than you would believe. There are various takes on how hockey came to Japan. Some sources say the British pioneered the sport here in the early 1900s. Others say it was the Scarboro Missionary Fathers, a Canadian order of missionaries and educators, who brought the fastest game on ice to Hokkaido in 1905. Two things, however, are not in dispute: A boarding school in the wilds of Western Saskatchewan, the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame, has had a potent and ongoing influence on Japan’s hockey scene. And along the way, a man who would one day be declared the world’s richest was a pivotal player in the game. Billionaires, Boarding Schools and Ice Three-time Canadian hockey Olympian Terry O’Malley begins the tale. “Yoshiaki Tsutsumi had taken over the running of the Seibu/Kokudo conglomerate,” he says, “and he owned a number of recreational properties including rinks, so he wanted to promote ice hockey in the Tokyo area.” Mega-billionaire Tsutsumi had already recruited Fr. Bob Moran of the Scarboro Order to play after seeing him practice with the Seibu Railway team. After the latter returned home, he asked Moran to find the team more players in Canada. He did, bringing in two outstanding athletes and brothers, Mel and Herb Wakabayashi. As a replacement for himself, he contacted Fr. David Bauer—a towering figure in Canadian hockey—who brought O’Malley along to watch the Japanese team practice at the 1968 Olympics in Grenoble, France, one of the three occasions O’Malley was with the Canadian Olympic squad. Tsutsumi’s representatives were also on hand. In 1971, O’Malley came to Japan and met Tsutsumi and his people. He became a player-coach for Tsutsumi-sponsored teams for seven seasons in the Japan League and was part of championship squads. After his professional career ended, O’Malley went on to teach, coach and serve as president at Notre Dame for well over two decades. And that’s when the odd but entirely logical link between the hockey powerhouse on the prairie and Japan was formed. “Shoichi Tomita, the president of the Japan Ice Hockey Federation and who played in the Sapporo Olympics for Japan as a goalie, asked me whether his son, Hiromasa, could come to Notre Dame in the 1979/80 school year,” O’Malley recalls. “He did, and became the first Japanese lad to join the Hounds.” According to O’Malley, though, the primary go-between for Notre Dame and student-athletes from Japan was his former teammate Herb Wakabayashi, who had left the Seibu squad and started his own business consulting enterprise in Japan. To date, around forty Japanese students have attended Notre Dame and taken the ice there. They come for the chance to learn English, get a solid education, and go through what is rated as one of Canada’s prime hockey development programs. The school has an Olympic-size ice rink, a state-of-the-art off-ice skills training facility, a high-performance training facility with a certified strength and conditioning coach and an athletic therapist, fully equipped gymnasium and elite coaches with provincial, national and international experience. “It’s a tight-knit community and in a safer setting than is often found in a city,” O’Malley adds.. There’s ample time to bond, forge friendships and focus on studies and hockey at Notre Dame, too, because the school is out in the middle of nowhere, situated fifty kilometers outside of Regina in a village of around two hundred people. “Shoichi Tomita told me many years later that his wife berated him all the way from Wilcox to Vancouver, crying and lamenting, ‘Where have you sent my first-born son?’ After graduation, though, even his wife seemed to appreciate the adventure.” Another Japan transplant, Shusaku Izumi, wrote the following about the culture shock of a winter on the prairies for O’Malley’s wife, who taught English as a second language: Winter in Wilcox Freezing town in Canada Not even funny Two aspects the Japanese students Notre Dame recruited were familiar with, though. One was that students were in charge of keeping the school, dormitories and cafeteria clean. And for a long time the senior students ran life on campus, creating a The Spartan vibe is strong, and the school is known for developing character and developing leaders. Notre Dame alumni include guys like Rod Brind’Amour, a former NHL All-Star who now coaches the Carolina Hurricanes, and Barry Trotz, most recently coaching the New York Islanders. As another graduate, Jon Cooper, who now coaches the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning team, said: “I joined the college as a boy and graduated a young man.” On the Japan side, Hiromasa Tomita went on to become an interior design master, joining his father’s firm, Tomita Textiles. Another Japanese grad of Notre Dame, Kojin Nakakita, is the chairman of Hitachi Asia. “Nakakita is also the head coach and general manager of the Japan sledge hockey team that plays in the Paralympics,” O’Malley mentions. Reviving the Connection After O’Malley and Barry MacKenzie—another former Japan teammate and teacher, coach and Notre Dame president—left the college, the Japan connection weakened for a spell. Mike Yoshino, one of the cofounders and owners of the Yokohama Grits pro hockey team, is determined to revive the link. A Notre Dame grad who played at Yale before going pro in Japan for two years as part of the Oji Paper team, Yoshino has a solid hockey pedigree—his father was on the Michigan Tech team that won the NCAA championship in 1965, playing alongside Tony Esposito. He joined Notre Dame’s Board of Regents in summer 2021 with a particular goal in mind. “We have strong roots in Japan and in Asia generally, and hockey is actually one of the fastest-growing sports in Asia, certainly among females,” he notes, “so we really wanted to revamp those ties and to recruit more students from Asia, particularly Japan.” Yoshino is working with Takashi Mikoshiba, the general manager of the Grits, to make that happen. “He spent part of his childhood in Vancouver and has strong ties to Japan or so Canada,” Yoshino explains, “and he knows everyone in hockey in Japan and most of the Notre Dame alumni. He’s been super helpful and has taken it upon himself to help Notre Dame expand its reach, even in the midst of this pandemic.” Fresh Direction and Inspiration According to Yoshino, women’s ice hockey is incredibly popular in Japan. “And they’re very competitive,” he states. “Interestingly enough, at the recent FISU World University Games in Lake Placid, Japan actually beat the USA 3-1, which is absolutely astounding, and won the silver medal behind Canada. Japan’s head coach is actually a Notre Dame alumnus, a guy named Yujiro Nakajimaya.” To support that surge in interest and talent, Yoshino, the Grits and Notre Dame decided to sponsor two girls to come to the school’s summer hockey camp last year. “One of them is on the U18 Japanese national team that’s playing at the World Championships,” Yoshino reports. “She was fourteen then, and according to my daughter this girl was the most dominant player at the camp. The other girl was from Yokohama. We wanted to give them that exposure and create awareness among the ice hockey community in Japan, particularly among the females. I think it was a huge success, and hopefully they’ll come back this summer.” This is encouraging, because according to Yoshino hockey here has been on a gentle decline since the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano finished, the pro teams funded by corporations began to be a drag on the books, and Seibu’s Tsutsumi was arrested for insider trading. In fact, a recent International Ice Hockey Federation survey pegged the number of registered hockey players in 2019-2020 in Japan at just 18,641. Despite the ongoing pandemic, Yoshino decided in 2022 that it was time for Notre Dame to pump up its profile in Asia, particularly in Japan. In addition to the two girls who went to hockey camp that summer, he arranged two events in November. The first was a Notre Dame hockey camp for young Japanese players featuring Grits and alumni coaches. Thirty-two aspiring players ranging in age from 10 to 15 took to the ice at the Grits rink in Yokohama. The second was a gathering that helped twenty-six alumni and friends reconnect and meet future Hound parents and CCCJ members. Plenty of stories were shared before a weekend that brought on-ice action with the Grits playing two games. The first day was declared “Notre Dame Day.” With that kind of energy applied, hockey in this country may regain some of its allure and its players may reach a higher level. And to a significant degree, it’ll have a school in rural Canada to thank for that.

I thought all BQers were naturally speedy and ran sub-4 marathons without even trying. That’s a myth! I used to think the same thing. This is exactly why I wrote that post – to show you that an average runner can BQ! How’d I do it? Let’s start with the physical part first. Know what works for you When I’m coaching someone, I often tell them that I made every mistake in the book so they don’t have to. I really think I did. Lots of trial and error. But it made me a smart runner. I know what my body can handle and what it can’t. I know which training plans will work for me and which ones won’t. I know when to back off and rest and when to kick it up a notch. Listen to your body and keep a training log. After each training cycle and race, jot down what worked and what didn’t. Review often and look for any patterns. Marathon-paced long runs I love me some marathon-paced long runs! I wrote a post awhile ago explaining my reasoning for not doing long, slow distance long runs here. LSD does not work for me. I gave it a fair shot. My coaching certification is through RRCA and they heavily stress LSD long runs for everyone – beginners to elite. I 100% agree with LSD long runs for beginners who need to build an adequate endurance base. But, if you have a time goal in mind, you need to incorporate some MP miles into your long runs. For the simple reason that practice makes perfect. Speed work (FIRST training plan) I used the FIRST training plan for my last 2 marathons (with modifications – I added in some easy runs for more mileage). I definitely credit it with helping me BQ. Before the NJ Marathon, I went to the track here and there but I wasn’t consistent. I’ve been doing speed work consistently for the past 9 months and the results are astounding. My marathon pace dropped significantly. And I saw results quickly. Consistency is key here. Pick a day each week and dedicate it to speed work. It’s easiest to do on a track but any flat, paved path (free of traffic) will do. And don’t think you have to run all-out…that is a misnomer. You can do intervals at 10K or half marathon pace. For my final weeks leading up to the Lehigh Valley Marathon, I kept my intervals at 10K pace because I found myself overstriding (and subsequently hurting my hamstring) when I did intervals at 5K pace. This training cycle was the first time I experimented with a 2-week taper. And I will never go back to a 3-week taper again! For me, it’s more mental than anything. I had a good 22-miler 2 weeks before the LVM. The day of the race I kept thinking that all I had to do was repeat the run that I did only 2 weeks before. It boosted my confidence significantly. Before you try a 2-week taper, think about how long it takes you to completely recover from a 20 mile run. If it takes awhile, I would err on the side of caution and stick with a 3-week taper. You don’t want to have any lingering effects of that last 20-miler come race day. Train for the worst case scenario I learned this the hard way during the Pocono Marathon. Know the marathon course. Look at the elevation profile. Ask people who ran the race in previous years (sidenote: take their advice with a grain of salt. A big hill to some is a little hill to others and vice versa). If there are small hills, train for big hills. It will only help you come race day. Now for the mental part… Break it up into small chunks When I started to get closer to my BQ time, I looked at each marathon as a way to inch closer and closer to my ultimate goal. My goal for Steamtown was to break 4:00 hours. Then my goal for NJM was to hit 3:50…and finally BQ (3:45) at LVM. This made it much more manageable and less daunting. Such a powerful word. Believe in yourself AND in your training. If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t. This tactic worked well for me at LVM. Instead of thinking ahead to the later miles (i.e., the last 6.2), I forced myself to focus on the current mile and mastering it. It can get overwhelming to think of how many more miles you have and how you are going to maintain MP, blah, blah, blah. It’s a vicious cycle of self-doubt. If you find yourself going down this road, snap out of it (during the LVM I audibly said “stop”) and regain your focus. Phew! I had lots to say. If you made it through this post, kudos…you deserve a gold star!

|Title||Slow Magnetic Relaxation in Lanthanoid Crown Ether Complexes: Interplay of Raman and Anomalous Phonon Bottleneck Processes| |Publication Type||Journal Article| |Year of Publication||2018| |Authors||Rousset, E, Piccardo, M, Boulon, M-E, Gable, RW, Soncini, A, Sorace, L, Boskovic, C| |Journal||Chemistry - A European Journal| The combination of lanthanoid nitrates with 18‐crown‐6 (18‐c‐6) and tetrahalocatecholate (X4Cat2−, X=Cl, Br) ligands has afforded two compound series [Ln(18‐c‐6)(X4Cat)(NO3)]⋅MeCN (X=Cl, 1‐Ln; X=Br, 2‐Ln; Ln=La, Ce, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy). The 18‐c‐6 ligands occupy equatorial positions of a distorted sphenocorona geometry, whereas the charged ligands occupy the axial positions. The analogues of both series with Ln=Ce, Nd, Tb and Dy exhibit out‐of‐phase ac magnetic susceptibility signals in the presence of an applied magnetic field, indicative of slow magnetization relaxation. When diluted into a diamagnetic La host to reduce dipolar interactions, the Dy analogue exhibits slow relaxation up to 20 K in the absence of an applied dc field. Concerted magnetic measurements, EPR spectroscopy, and ab initio calculations have allowed elucidation of the mechanisms responsible for slow magnetic relaxation. A consistent approach has been applied to quantitatively model the relaxation data for different lanthanoid analogues, suggesting that the spin dynamics are governed by Raman processes at higher temperatures, transitioning to a dominant phonon bottleneck process as the temperature is decreased, with an observed T−6 rather than the usual T−2 dependence (T is temperature). This anomalous thermal dependence of the phonon bottleneck relaxation is consistent with anharmonic effects in the lattice dynamics, which was predicted by Van Vleck more than 70 years ago.

Scott Walker can always point to the money saved by Act 10. That's the easy part. But it also ignores all of the unintended future consequences his attack on labor will end up producing later on, too numerous to mention. The Natural Cancerous Growth of Act 10: Walker won't be happy until were all left with no actual way to live in retirement, an odd goal supported by conservatives everywhere. Benefits or no benefits, if government can save money now, who cares about the future lives of Wisconsinites? It's a national party dream that makes us all part of what I imagine to be a scene from The Road Warrior. Fox 6's Mike Lowe takes a look at Walker's next step: Act 10 limited most collective bargaining powers for most public employees. Police and fire unions were exempted from the reforms, but now, Gov. Scott Walker has suggested expanding Act 10 to include those unions. “I think now, for those areas, having seen that the world didn’t come to an end for other municipal employees, there might be a greater opening going forward because they’d say, ‘hey, you know, things worked out,’” Gov. Walker said Monday, July 29th. Gov. Walker says he won’t propose the expansion of Act 10, but he would consider it if bills passed through the Legislature. Gov. Walker repeated his assertion that he’s not out to destroy unions, saying “the unions that offer value will continue to see members,” both in the public and private sector. Of course Walker milked all the value out of unions, so any decline in membership will be blamed on the unions, and not our anti-employee/anti-constituent governor. But the Republican Party ploy of taking both sides of an issue, to either confuse their low information base or use in campaign ads disputing their actual position...whatever it is, gets the Walker treatment. From Blue Cheddar: There was a story released by WUWM at 5:58 PM MON JULY 29 called Walker Says Collective Bargaining Limits Could Solve Other States’ Problems in which Walker says it might be time to expand Wisconsin Act 10 to public safety workers. Then at 5AM today, Tuesday July 30, 2013, I ran into this:Walker Says He Won’t Push For Ending Collective Bargaining For Police Or Firefighters Walker is either market testing another assault on worker rights, he got something printed to send to his severely right of center donors, or else he is just being his usual arrogant megalomaniac prick self.

With a grim prognosis, breast cancer affects millions of individuals worldwide. In addition to the physical challenges of cancer treatment, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, many women also experience emotional and psychological stress. The good news is that a physiotherapy clinic Singapore can aid in strength and mobility restoration after breast cancer treatment. Physiotherapy’s Role in Helping Breast Cancer Survivors Regain Strength and Confidence Exercise-based recovery is a treatment that aims to protect and restore actual capabilities. Physiotherapy can help people with breast cancer improve their range of motion, decrease distress and pain, and increase resilience and endurance. Nonetheless, the benefits of physiotherapy extend beyond the physical. It can also help women regain confidence, improve their self-perception, and reduce stress and dissatisfaction. Lymphedema, where extra liquid accumulates in the tissues and causes swelling and pain, is one of breast cancer therapy’s most common unfavourable effects. Lymphedema, a long-term symptom of illness therapy, can significantly reduce a woman’s pleasure. Physiotherapy can help reduce lymphedema with exercises, manual lymphatic drainage, and pressure treatment. Working with a physiotherapist can help women manage their side effects and reduce their risk of developing lymphedema. Following breast cancer surgery, physiotherapy can help women restore their range of motion and flexibility, another benefit. Women may have restricted movement in their arms, shoulders, and chest after some types of surgery, making routine tasks challenging. To aid women in regaining strength and range of motion in the affected areas, a physiotherapist can design a training plan specifically tailored to them. Along with improving physical performance, this may also boost one’s confidence and self-worth. Lastly, physiotherapy helps relieve fatigue and discomfort after breast cancer treatment. Many women experience fatigue and pain due to their physical and mental exhaustion from cancer treatment. A physiotherapist may instruct women in relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and gentle stretches to help manage discomfort and weariness. Working with a physiotherapist can help women learn how to save energy and manage the physical demands of cancer treatment. It is impossible to emphasize the value of physiotherapy in treating breast cancer. Women who work with a physiotherapist can enhance their physical function, lessen pain and swelling, and increase their strength and stamina. However, perhaps more importantly, physiotherapy may help women restore their confidence, enhance their body image, and lessen their worry and depression. Physiotherapy is vital for breast cancer patients who want to recover and move on. Finding a reliable breast cancer physio in Singapore Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among women worldwide, including in Singapore. Following breast cancer treatment, rehabilitation may be physically and emotionally taxing. Physical therapy is a crucial component of the healing process for those who have survived breast cancer. Breast cancer survivors can regain their strength, mobility, and confidence with the help of a breast cancer physiotherapist with experience in breast cancer rehabilitation. Treatment for breast cancer, including surgery and radiation, can cause some physical issues, such as pain, stiffness, and lymphedema. These symptoms can be lessened, and quality of life enhanced with the help of physiotherapy. When looking for a qualified physiotherapist for breast cancer rehabilitation, it is crucial to receive recommendations from healthcare professionals like your oncologist, breast surgeon, or primary care physician. They might be able to put you in touch with a physical therapist who has experience working with breast cancer patients. On websites like the Singapore Physiotherapy Association, you may get a list of Singapore’s licensed physiotherapists. Look for physiotherapists with breast cancer rehabilitation experience. Reading reviews from other breast cancer survivors who have worked with physiotherapists is also a good idea. Look for reviews about their company on their website, social media, and other online forums. You will have a better idea of physiotherapy from this. Examine the physiotherapist’s credentials, training, education, and professional certifications. Verify their registration and licensing with the relevant professional organizations in Singapore. A respectable physiotherapist will be qualified and knowledgeable enough to provide breast cancer survivors with the best care. Consider the physiotherapist’s background. Find a physiotherapist who has expertise in treating breast cancer patients. Inquire about their expertise, therapeutic technique, and what to expect from the recovery process. Make an appointment with the physiotherapist to discuss your wants and concerns. After getting to know them better, you can determine if the physiotherapist is a suitable fit for you. Ask them about their treatment strategy and what to expect from the healing process during the session. Finally, women with breast cancer in Singapore must choose a physiotherapist with a solid reputation and experience in breast cancer rehabilitation. Physiotherapy helps breast cancer patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence following treatment. It is crucial to the rehabilitation process. Following the steps above, you may select a reliable physical therapist who can offer you or a loved one who has survived breast cancer the finest possible therapy.

Where does this interest come from? - Demographics = opportunities. Africa has the youngest population in the world, with 70% of Sub-Saharan Africa under 30. According to the World Bank, 12 million young people enter the job market annually, while only 3 million formal jobs are created. - According to EY: The median age for the continent is 18, which is 14 years younger than any other, and the continent’s population is set to double to two billion by 2050. - 50% of the world’s population by 2100 - According to UNCTAD, Foreign Direct Investment to African countries hit a record $83 billion In the sport, the talent of African athletes is well known, and it is no coincidence that such important sporting organizations seek to develop future stars from Africa, and some have a strong presence there. The famous potential of African football players shining in Europe is well worth mentioning, however, there are other examples. For instance: NBA & Africa: Along with the FIBA, a relationship reportedly valued at nearly $1 billion, the NBA runs the Basketball Africa League, with its first season in 2021. The BAL was built on the foundation of current club competitions that FIBA had been organizing in Africa while marking the NBA’s first collaboration to operate a league outside North America. For example, in the NBA Draft 2022, 8 African players were drafted out of 60, 13%. NFL & Africa: The NFL hosted its first official events in Africa this year in Ghana. The week of activities included a talent identification camp, a fan event and a flag football clinic. According to the league. There are more than 100 players on NFL rosters of African descent, either born on the continent or first-generation American. Others have plans for the near future, such as: - Youth Olympics, Dakar 2026: The 4th Summer Youth Olympic Games will take place in Dakar, Senegal, the first country on the African continent to host an Olympic sports event. - WWE plans a long-term push in Africa with tryouts and partnerships and has launched this week “The Search for Africa’s Next WWE Superstar.” - Upcoming 2023 Netball World Cup in South Africa and Rwanda’s 2025 world road cycling Africa has several advantages for taking your project there; Although many companies are still hesitant to enter this market, it’s important to start establishing your presence in Africa now. SiS CEO and Founder Arnaud Drijard stated: “Having supported different basketball national federations with the FIBA Plus program this year, the potential on youth programs, from grassroots to talent detection to build the future, is huge and a focus.”

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having turned on the style in the second half against Hungary, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Three Lions to make light work of Alvarez’s men at Wembley England will be looking to extend their 100 per cent record in World Cup qualification when they welcome Andorra to Wembley on Sunday. The Three Lions are already five points clear at the top of Group I, having won all four of their matches so far. England vs Andorra latest odds Having won all four of their previous encounters against this opposition, England are 1/200 (1.01) favourites with bet365 to come out on top once again. Koldo Alvarez’s men pulled off just the fourth competitive victory in their history by overcoming San Marino 2-0 on Thursday but Andorra are 66/1 (67.00) outsiders to follow that up with a huge victory in London, or priced at 25/1 (26.00) to earn a highly creditable draw. Click Here: new zealand all blacks jersey TV channel, live stream & how to watch ITV ITV Hub The game is being shown live on ITV in the United Kingdom (UK). The ITV Hub will be streaming the game live online. England vs Andorra team news Kyle Walker, Declan Rice, Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane are all likely to drop out of the team following the win over Hungary as they sit one yellow card away from suspension, with Patrick Bamford hoping to make his international debut in attack. Marc Pujol and Jordi Alaez are both suspended after picking up bookings in the victory over San Marino, while Marc Vales will be on a high after scoring both goals in that victory. England vs Andorra preview Having scored just once in his first 71 international appearances, defender Vales is now his country’s joint-third record goalscorer after three goals in his last three games. However, he is unlikely to have any chance of continuing that hot streak at Wembley, where the Tricolors will put everyone behind the ball and look to frustrate their opponents as much as possible. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done against such a star-studded attacking team, as Hungary discovered in Budapest on Thursday. After going in with the score tied at 0-0 at the break, Gareth Southgate’s team came out all guns blazing and promptly struck four times in an exciting attacking performance from the likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Premier League record signing Jack Grealish. England vs Andorra predictions With so much talent to choose from up front, England are surely worth 5/6 (1.83) odds to beat Andorra by at least five clear goals for their third time in three meetings here. All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

Welcome back to one of the most anticipated events on Japan’s car culture calendar. After a two-year hiatus, being back in the Fuji Speedway pits for the Nismo Festival was nothing short of electrifying. By that, I don’t mean the direction that Nissan (like most other auto manufacturers out there) is taking with its future cars. What I mean is, the Nismo Festival is a dynamic reminder of why the Nissan brand is so special to so many people. This event allows fans to relive all the glory in the most sensory-laden way. You see, you hear, you smell the legendary cars that made motorsport history, while famed race drivers of the past and present give them a proper beating on a legendary circuit. The Racing Side You walk past cars that instantly stop you in your tracks. You freeze, ponder at what’s in front of you as you are flooded with memories. The Daishin GT300 S15 Silvia is definitely one of those cars for me. It comes from a time when Super GT cars had a more direct link to their production-based machines. These cars were so much more loved by fans the world over, because we all had that inner desire to create something similar with our own road cars. That’s totally out the window these days. But the king for me was this car – the final R34 GT500 iteration before Nismo moved to the Z33. No, this car doesn’t run an RB26, but rather the VQ30DETT that would power the Z33 for years to come in GT500, but I don’t care. It’s sublime in every way, and to this day, every time I see it I go weak at the knees. It came from a really special time in GT racing. In fact, it was just as special as Group A, as I always felt that by 2000 to 2002, the GT500 class had evolved that original idea of having street cars turned into race cars to the nth degree. It’s what put Japan, Nissan and its cars on the map, and when the motorsport world really started to take notice. Of course, it wasn’t to say that what came before was not important, quite the contrary. But it is indeed a tale of growth, development and evolution as the Japanese race series – along with their cars – grew. That includes the higher tiers of motorsport, like the Group 7 R382 that was built in 1969 for the Japanese Grand Prix and powered by Nissan’s first V12 engine, a 6.0-liter, 600hp screamer. It really set the scene in this particular area of the pits. We saw the V12 reappear in the 1992 NP35 after a change in Group C regulations banned turbo motors. However, Nissan ended up suspending its program and this car was only used once. But these are just a few examples of a large number of race cars that Nissan built during the course of the ’80s and ’90s, as they participated in countless series both domestically and internationally. Keep following the lineage and you soon find the the R390 GT1, built in 1997/98 for Le Mans. That meant a single homologation vehicle had to be made, and Nissan still has it in the Heritage Collection. Eric Comas, the French driver that piloted the Penzoil-sponsored R33 and R34 in JGTC, has a second road-going R390, but that was converted from a race car. Powering the R390 GT1’s rear wheels was the VRH35L, a twin-turbo 3.5L V8 pushing out 650hp. It wasn’t the most successful Nissan LM car, but an epic attempt nonetheless. Which brings us to this unexpected surprise for 2022, the IMSA Z32 300ZX. This was the first time I had seen and heard it, and it really was a true sight to behold. On the flipside, seeing this car made me feel a little sad that the Z32 was never used in motorsport in Japan in its era. That job, of course, was left to the R32 Skyline GT-R. This IMSA GTS-1 beast is menacing from every angle, but the biggest surprise came when the race engineers cranked its engine into life. It sounded undeniably like a V8, but I was sure the car always ran an 800hp version of the VG30DETT. There was a moment of confusion, but I later discovered that for the last year the car was used, it was powered by a naturally aspirated VH45 V8, hence the sound being made. A few steps away was the reminder of where Nissan race cars are at in the present day. This is the new-gen Z in all of its Calsonic GT500 wide-bodied glory. It’s also the car that won this year’s championship. Every GT500-class Z from the 2022 Super GT season was on display, but better than that, they let everyone have a look at what powers these cars. Not that you can see much, mind you. It’s definitely not the VR30DETT, as found in the road-going car, but rather the regulation 2.0L four-cylinder turbo engine that is used by all GT500 teams. I think we reached ‘peak GT500′ about 20 years ago when the cars were more relatable to their road-going counterparts. Do you agree with me? It’s why I find the GT4 Z quite appealing. The Super Taikyu series that these cars compete in another great championship that mixes pros and gentleman drivers, just like Super GT. As I was looking at the GT4 car, I wondered if and when a GT3-spec Z will be made? I’m sure some GT300 teams out there would prefer that over the ageing GT-R. Then of course there’s the EV race car debate. Nissan has been involved in Formula E since the beginning, and it’s something that helps them make a statement with their move to electrification. I got the chance to try out the Leaf RC a few years back and it blew my mind. So I’m all for electric cars in motorsports, as long as motorsports still exists as the automobile advances. The Tuning Side Nismo Festival is as much about motorsports and heritage as it is about tuning. There’s always so much to see in the Fuji Speedway paddock, starting at the Nismo tent where prohibitively-expensive restoration and tuning packages are promoted. And it’s not only the old R32/33/34 GT-Rs that steal all the limelight, the R35 still gets space. In fact, Omori Factory’s development car was getting a lot of attention as it was sporting a new carbon hood design currently being tested. Thoughts? In a month from now we will be in full Tokyo Auto Salon mayhem mode and Japan will be Z-crazy for a few days. Here’s RAYS’ car on the new Volk Racing NE24s. The RZ34 demo car from Fujitsubo was on BBS RI-Ds, which suit the car’s design rather well. I think the Z will look best with bigger wheels – 20s or 21s even – as the fenders just seem to swallow them up. I’d love to hear what wheels you think best suit the RZ34. My opinion – after seeing a bunch of them online and out on the street – is that the dish game is very poor right now. Hopefully TAS will fix this in a few weeks. Along with seeing tuning parts from powerhouses like HKS and Trust/GReddy, it’s always good to be reminded where everything spans from. Here’s a beautiful example of a resto-modded S30 courtesy of Star Road. But enough about Zs – we need to balance things with some GT-Rs! Mine’s had the same set up they used at the R’s Meeting, but I never tire of looking at their cars. The Nismo Festival really shows how much love there is for Nissan and its history. The fans are loyal and always come up with interesting ways to support their favorite drivers and teams, but this GT-winged hard hat is on another level. Kudos to its creator! Add a Silvia 270R to this picture and you have the Nismo holy trinity. I wonder if anyone out there already owns it? Am I the only one who’s patiently waiting for Smoky Nagata to come up with something worthy of his long history building crazy machines? I feel as though the Top Secret brand is today simply relying on its name value to sell pre-built complete cars to foreigners at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Where are the crazy engine-swapped Wangan racers that I used to shoot 10 to 15 years ago? I really hope to see something cool at Makuhari Messe next month. As I touched on earlier, if there is something that Nismo Festival does well it’s providing entertainment. There isn’t much time throughout the event that there aren’t cars out on track making noise, or in the case of this particular picture, Super GT drivers doing massive burnouts as they exit pit lane. The GT race though, is my favorite part of the day. It was so dramatic seeing all these GT cars line up on the Fuji Speedway starting grid… …Right behind the new RZ34 Super GT safety car. I even got to say a little ciao to fellow Italian Ronnie Quintarelli. He didn’t end up having the best 2022 season, struggling to make the most of the all-new Motul Z and finishing in 7th position overall alongside his teammate Tsugio Matsuda. From GT-Rs and Zs to old screaming race cars and everything in between, as always the Nismo Festival continues to be a must-attend event on the JDM calendar. I hope you’ve enjoyed this year’s coverage. Dino Dalle Carbonare

Houston Texans vs Cleveland Browns Sunday – September 19 – 12:00 pm First Energy Stadium – Cleveland, Ohio Records Before Game Houston Texans (1 – 0) Cleveland Browns ( 0 – 1) The Houston Texans travel out of town to meet up with the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 after an impressive Week 1 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars 37-21. Cleveland lost their home opener against the Kansas City Chiefs 33-29. The Browns won the last meeting, 10-7 in Week 10 of the 2020 season, but Houston leads the all-time series 7-4 with three of Cleveland’s wins against the Texans have come at home. QB Baker Mayfield passed for 321 yards completing 28 out of 21 passes with just one INT that came with just over a minute left in the game in their loss against the Chiefs. Running Back Nick Chubb rushed for 83 yards on just 15 carries and scored two touchdowns. Sharing the ball with Kareem Hunt will keep the Texans on their toes. The Browns pulled out a few trick plays against the Chiefs with their different shifts on offense and even tossing the ball back to players behind them to keep the ball alive and the drive going. As for injuries, CB Troy Hill is questionable along with WR Anthony Schwartz and guard Michael Dunn. WR Odell Beckham Jr and OL Chriss Hubbard are both out. QB Tyrod Taylor signed a one year contract with the Houston Texans back in March. In September, Head Coach David Culley announced Taylor would be the Week 1 starting quarterback due to Deshaun Watson and his legal issues. Taylor has been in the league since 2011 when he was drafted in the sixth round with the 180th overall pick by the Baltimore Ravens. Since then he has been with four other teams. In his first start with the Texans, Taylor passed for 291 yards, completed 21 of 33 passes with two touchdowns and rushed for 41 yards. Just celebrating his 32nd birthday, with those numbers it almost seems like he’s in his prime. Then again these days it seems like age is just a number seeing that Tom Brady, at 44 yrs of age, is still playing his best football to date. RB Mark Ingram Jr rushed for 85 yrds on 26 carries against the Jaguars last week and WR Brandin Cooks was on fire on the receiving end, catching just 5 passes for 132 yards. Look for Danny Amendola and TE Pharaoh Brown making a big impact this week. Although the Houston Texans looked great last week and killed the Jaguars, that really doesn’t give any indication on how really good this Houston team is. Jacksonville might win one game this year. The Texans have a crazy mix of players. They will most likely be the underdog against anyone they face. Houston has their work cut out for them. The weather should be in the mid 70’s and have no impact on the game. With playing in Cleveland, they will be playing against a above par team and the best fans in the NFL. Starting quite early on Saturday, Browns fans started lining up to get into the “Muni Lot” to tailgate before the game on Sunday. Around 8 PM on Saturday night, the Browns began lining up waiting to get into the parking lot with a line described as a 2.5 mile stretch of cars. THIS IS 2.5 MILES AWAY FROM THE BROWNS STADIUM. THE GAME IS TOMORROW. pic.twitter.com/yVcSuo0cgj— The Kennel (@FootballKennel) September 19, 2021 Houston Texans – 28 Cleveland Browns – 27

Bitcoin ATMs are becoming increasingly popular in many countries around the world. Not only do these machines provide users with an easy and convenient way to purchase, sell and exchange Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but they also offer the potential for quick changes from cash to cryptocurrency. For entrepreneurs looking to get into the crypto space, it is important to learn more about how Bitcoin ATMs can facilitate quick changes from cash to cryptocurrency. For those who have never used a Bitcoin ATM before, they can be intimidating and unfamiliar. Fortunately, using a Bitcoin ATM is not as difficult as it may seem. The process of using a Bitcoin ATM typically involves scanning your government-issued identification (ID), entering a mobile number associated with your wallet, choosing your desired cryptocurrency or type of transaction, depositing money (if necessary), entering the address of your cryptocurrency wallet (where you would like the funds sent), and then completing the transaction. This process can take as little as five minutes if everything goes smoothly. In addition to understanding how a Bitcoin ATM works, there are several other factors to consider when utilizing one of these machines for quick changes from cash to cryptocurrency. Firstly, be sure that the machine is from a trusted manufacturer as this will help ensure that all transactions are secure. Additionally, familiarize yourself with any fees associated with each transaction prior to proceeding so that you don’t find yourself with unexpected costs after completion. Furthermore, check if any regulations or limits apply in your jurisdiction for any sort of crypto exchange or transaction before attempting to use a Bitcoin ATM in order to avoid any problems later on down the road. One major benefit of using a Bitcoin ATM over an online exchange is that users can quickly obtain their desired currency without having to wait days or even weeks for deposits or transfers depending on how long it takes their particular exchange’s bank account deposit times. Additionally, since these machines often operate 24/7 in convenient locations around most cities and towns across the world, customers can typically access them whenever they please – no waiting involved! In conclusion, utilizing a Bitcoin ATM can provide entrepreneurs with an easy and efficient way of making quick changes from cash to cryptocurrency within just minutes. Although there are certain things to consider before beginning such as security and fees, once you understand what you need ahead of time, learning more about quick changes from cash to cryptocurrency at a Bitcoin ATM should be smooth sailing.

One of the silver linings to the coronavirus pandemic, by which I mean one of the things that should have happened a long time ago without the push of hundreds of thousands of bodies, is that people are starting to see how much better their lives would be if we change our approach to the idea of work. In the U.S. and many other nations, work has come to mean driving often hours through grueling traffic to go to a job that you often hate or is so exhausting and all-consuming you don’t even have the energy to hate it. That’s why it’s so baffling and disturbing to see people protesting local shutdowns with signs claiming they want to go back to work. Look, I know some people like their jobs, or at least say they do. But an unreasonable amount of people only tolerate their jobs at best because they feel like they have to. Even those who like their jobs can make a list of all the things they still don’t like about work. Nobody likes the commute. Cubicles, offices in rooms with walls, and open floor plans all suck for different reasons. Sitting in one place all day doing the same motions with your hands and wrists or standing and walking all day doing physical labor is ruining our bodies. Customers suck. Meetings suck. Emails suck. Everyone complains about all these things and somehow the only solution we’ve come up with is “stop complaining about work.” But keeping that shit inside just gives you ulcers or worse. So why don’t we just change work if it’s so terrible? In ways I don’t yet fully understand, we’ve all been convinced that this is how work has to be. We have to do it eight hours per day, five days per week or more. Less and you’re not working enough and that’s bad. If it hurts your body then buy a product to correct it. If you can’t afford that, numb the pain. If you can’t afford/do that, suffer. I don’t know why we’ve done this to ourselves exactly other than something something capitalism but we can change it any time we want. And maybe we finally will. One article I did today for my own work helped me see how many people are finding how much better their lives are without work or with a different form of work. People are saving so much money on gas, tolls, daycare for their kids, and so much time, and they’re using that extra time to better themselves. People on this Reddit thread are talking about quitting smoking and working on their mental health and taking huge steps in recovering from eating disorders. They’re talking to loved ones and improving their personal relationships. People are healing without work weighing them down. And what I want people to understand is that we never had to work like this. We certainly don’t need to do so in this day and age. We can change it. We can change how we think of work. Instead of it being an inevitable hell we’ve put ourselves in, work can be self-care. Work can be our hobbies. Work can be no different from play. I’ve said before in my diatribes against the modern concept of work that while I say I hate work, I don’t hate working. I hate being forced to churn out content for too little pay for hours every weekday just so I can have my own home and buy food. I hate seeing my loved ones have the life drained out of them because their jobs demand so much and give so little in return. Working on myself? Wonderful, rewarding, hard but so worth it. Working on my writing in the way I want to, without having my creative energies drained for the sake of someone else’s profits? Amazing, fun, eye-opening, energizing. Even just doing everyday chores around the apartment that can be boring and tiring? Satisfying, good for mental health, feels great when it’s done. That could be our work, if we wanted. All of this capitalist work, much of it that doesn’t even need to exist or could be done by robots, takes so much away from our ability to do the kind of work that is actually good for us and makes us happy. Let’s do better for ourselves. We deserve it.

A casino is definitely an exciting place to be, especially for a lot of beginners who are doing it for the first time. Beginners absolutely love casinos, because casinos boast luxury and opulence. In a lot of cases, beginners have no idea what to do in a casino, and that is why, this article will guide them as to what they shouldn’t do. The casino happens to be an ecstatic place for the majority of customers. It doesn’t exactly take too long to settle into the art of gambling in the casino, but a lot of people will realise quickly what they like and what they don’t like in a casino. Beginners are very liable to make some very catastrophic errors when it comes to a judgement, in gambling scenarios. I have listed out certain things that you, as a beginner, should not do in a casino. - You should not choose to play European roulette, over American roulette. We would definitely be surprised if any casino beginners knew this particular point, but there are two different types of roulette which are readily available to be played by the public. The main difference between the two is that the former has one extra zero value, than the latter. - You should never ever sit down at a poker table with players who have more experience than you. Because of its presentation in a lot of movies and TV shows, the game of poker has actually become really cool to play in a casino. That is why, a lot of beginners are very tempted to sit at a poker table, a table where they do not belong. You should not sit at a poker table where people are way more experienced than you. You will face crippling losses on your part. - I highly suggest you do not consume too much alcohol. This is definitely an obvious one, but you will believe how easy it is to get too drunk in a casino that offers you free alcohol. If you are a beginner, it is incredibly dangerous of you to drink too much, because you will be making poor decisions under the influence of alcohol. Making bad decisions is something that the casino wants you to do. - You should be absolutely sure that you walk inside the casino with a specified bankroll in mind. You should never walk inside a casino without knowing how much money you are ready to spend. You should never gamble away any of your savings. This should go without saying, but it is definitely a recipe for disaster. - The casino wants you to stay very long, but you should never stay in a casino longer than you want to.

The long wait is over for the NBA 2K fans! Because 2K finally released the NBA 2K21 Arcade Edition, the mobile version of the NBA 2K21. Last September 2020, many are asking why 2K only released the NBA 2K21 in consoles and PC version. They took longer to make this available on mobile. 2K brought this new NBA 2K21 Arcade Edition basketball video game franchise to Apple’s gaming subscription service. This game brings you a new and incredible experience because of its upgraded animation, graphics, AI, and optimized gameplay. Players can encounter the adventure of venturing into the shoes of their favorite NBA stars and take their game to the following level across a range of exciting modes: - Play 5-on-5 basketball including the most recent NBA list from the 2020-2021 season in Arena Quick Match; - Experience fast-paced, over-the-top games on street courts in Blacktop Quick Match; - Join a friend in Online Multiplayer to play cross-platform through the Game Center; - Start a journey toward NBA legend status in MyCAREER and spend hours navigating through personal storylines and progression. Moreover, players will feel more engaged in the game with tight controls, smooth camera angles. Also, with realistic player attributes over ball-handling, speed, shooting, and defense. They can even experience extra control with a PS DualShock or Xbox controller that works with any Apple device. However, this game is not yet available on Android devices and we don’t know if 2K will be. Maybe it’s hard to make this game compatible with various devices because it requires high-end hardware to run smoothly. But we hope that 2K will make it available on Google Play Store this year. To play the new NBA 2K21 Arcade Edition, you should subscribe to Apple Arcade on any iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac device. For more information about Apple Arcade subscription, just visit https://offers.applearcade.apple/ Source: 2K Newsroom

I recently provided a peek behind the curtain of NS1’s internal operations to show how we leverage Netbox for network automation. In this post, I’ll show how Orb - an open-source network observability tool we developed internally - keeps the NS1 Managed DNS network at optimal performance 24/7/365. Observability on the NS1 Network The Orb project began with a simple question: how can NS1 get the visibility it needs to protect, operate, debug, and improve performance and reliability on its global network of 26 Points of Presence (PoPs)? Looking at available solutions, the NS1 team found that many of them didn’t collect the sort of deep network data that would be useful for a DNS platform like ours. Even if they did, the cost of collecting, storing, and processing that data would be prohibitive, given the scale of NS1’s operations. So the decision was made to build a tool ourselves. The initial result was pktvisor - an open source packet analyzer designed for high volume, information-dense network data streams which is able to extract actionable insights directly from the edge. Over time, the project expanded to include agent orchestration, a control plane, and support for new data streams and analyzers. All of these are now available in Orb, a dynamic edge observability platform. Today, NS1 uses Orb and pktvisor to proactively mitigate any threat to network performance - whether it’s a DDoS attack, a misconfiguration, resource misalignments, or a range of other potential challenges. DDoS Attacks and Root Cause Analysis In our line of work, DDoS attacks are part of doing business. Orb is a critical piece of NS1’s highly resilient network architecture, designed to minimize the impact of DDoS events in line with our 100% uptime SLA. When we see a spike in traffic, Orb helps us quickly identify the cause and points us toward potential solutions. More often than not, these are from DDoS attacks. But Orb is just as important in showing us when something other than DDoS activity is to blame. In a recent incident, we noticed a spike in activity that started to deprecate performance in certain geographies. While our initial instinct was to brand it as a DDoS attack, a quick look at the data in Orb dispelled that notion. Looking into DNS response traffic, Orb showed that the spike in activity was only hitting a single domain. DDoS attacks usually hit multiple subdomains (real and non-existent) to force the exhaustion of resources connected to servicing that target. The lack of this kind of behavior was the first indication that the source of the issue was not a standard DDoS attack. Then we used Orb to look at the response codes returned on queries. We saw a huge decline in OK (which in DNS manifests as NOERROR) responses and a parallel rise in SRVFAIL responses. This gave us the intelligence we needed to rule out a DDoS attack as the root cause. Instead, the Orb data pointed us in a different direction, eventually leading to the real root cause and helping us to mitigate the issue within minutes. Having the Orb data at our fingertips allowed NS1 to identify and correct the error in a matter of minutes, minimizing the impact to our customers and providing clarity on how to prevent similar incidents in the future. Network Performance Monitoring Orb is part of my daily routine. Every morning, I look at our dashboard and glance through the traffic overnight and over the last several days. Most of the time, I see smooth, flattened curves that indicate broader patterns of “internet weather”. When a spike in activity catches my eye, Orb gives me the data I need to investigate the issue further. The dashboard I find most useful breaks down NS1’s traffic by geography. When I see spikes in activity coming from a particular region, that usually indicates DDoS activity or some kind of local misconfiguration that impacts network performance for a particular customer. Orb data shows us low-level DDoS activity that our customers may not notice. Since NS1 is set up to perform well even during traffic surges, smaller attacks often stay under the radar because there’s no tangible impact on performance. Orb picks up these smaller indicators, giving both NS1 and its customers the data necessary to take defensive steps. I was going through this geography dashboard recently and found an elevated pattern of NXDOMAIN responses in a single PoP. Digging deeper into the data Orb collected, I found that a single CNAME at a single customer of ours wasn’t configured correctly. It pointed to the wrong place, resulting in invalid queries to the intended authoritative nameserver. Resourcing and performance improvement NS1’s global network requires constant care and feeding. To maintain and improve the performance of our systems, we’re always looking at underlying data patterns to determine areas that need more resources and work. Orb data streams are a key part of this ongoing effort. Geographic data is among the most important information we use to plan resource allocations. When we see long-term traffic rising in specific regions, that often leads us to deploy more capacity in those areas - from bolstering our existing presence to standing up completely new PoPs. NS1 also uses Orb data streams to analyze traffic routing patterns from back-end service partners such as internet service providers. Looking at the way DNS traffic comes into NS1 and is transmitted back to end users can help us improve baseline performance across the board. As part of our constant drive to improve response times across our network, we frequently run development sprints to analyze data from specific PoPs and implement changes accordingly. This often involves combining Orb data with performance metrics from other platforms like Catchpoint, which measure latency. In a recent sprint for our Singapore PoP, the data pointed us toward changes that improved performance by an average of more than 20ms per query for a subset of recursive resolvers in the region - a significant change. Enhancing network observability Here at NS1, we use the data and insights from Orb so often that it’s become a critical part of our operations. That’s why we’re such huge cheerleaders for Orb - it delivers so much value for us every day in terms of time saved, the efficiency of resource allocation, and system reliability. The best part: Orb is free to run, both as a self-hosted tool or as a cloud service. You can get started with Orb in under ten minutes - a no-brainer for any network team looking for actionable data. And it gets even better! NS1 is now offering its customers the same Orb-backed visibility we’ve been leveraging internally. With the new DNS Insights feature of both Managed and Dedicated DNS, customers can comb through a curated data feed to quickly locate configuration errors that impact performance. Our customers are already starting to rave about this new feature - comments like “this is the data we’ve been wanting for years” are common. If you’re an NS1 customer, ask your customer success rep today for more information.

In this article I will tell you about my experience of repairing my Husqvarna Viking Designer 1 sewing and embroidery machine. This is an expensive computer machine, for which it was not so easy to find a repairman. What could be worse for a fashion designer than breaking your favorite sewing machine? It can only be worse when your favorite sewing machine breaks down, and you have a huge number of costumes that need to be sewn urgently 🤯. Yes, the master who sews to order always has not one machine, but at least two. But there is only one favorite. It always seems to us that it is she who has perfect lines, ideal speed and amazing sound, while the other machine has everything wrong: its lines are crooked and the sound is annoying and in general something is wrong with it. Therefore, the breakdown of your favorite sewing machine is always very unpleasant. Especially if the computer breaks down. And good sewing and embroidery machines are expensive: 200,000 - 550,000 rubles, so their repairs are also expensive. In addition, for so many years of tailoring, I have not yet found a good master for sewing and embroidery machines. It is easier to find a master for an industrial machine or an ordinary household machine than for a computer sewing and embroidery machine. Therefore, when I noticed that when I turned on my beloved Husqvarna Viking Designer 1, something was cracking, I got worried, but continued to sew. I decided to call the master only when the situation worsened 😅. More precisely, when something flared up when I turned it on, where the power cord connects to the sewing machine and there was a burning smell. About 15 years ago, in Moscow, I knew only one workshop where Husqvarna computerized embroidery machines were repaired. Many years ago I was in this workshop, I needed to fix a factory defect in a sewing machine: change the fabric feed conveyor. In this workshop, craftsmen do not go home, you need to take the cars to them yourself, and this did not quite suit me, and besides, I was worried about the cost of repairs. The repair of such machines is not cheap. Therefore, I began to look for another master and this was my first mistake. I have been looking for companies that repair Husqvarna and go home for a long time. Many sites say that they repair cars like mine, but in reality it turned out that this was only written on the site, but in reality they don’t deal with such cars. As a result, I found a company and finally my machine fell into the hands of a master. I was struck by the fact that the master came almost without tools, and this is supposedly a reputable company 🤔. The master dismantled the machine and said that the problem is in the board, but he cannot fix it now, as he does not have a soldering iron with him. But for me it was not a problem because I have everything. But in the end, he did not solder, but asked for a glue gun, which confused me a lot. As a result, I paid 7,000 rubles for the repair of a sewing machine. But my joy passed after a couple of days when the problem returned. Then I made a second mistake. I found a page on instagram of a sewing machine repairman with a large number of subscribers and good reviews. And my attention was drawn to the fact that on his page, among the photos of the machines that he repaired, there were many sewing and embroidery machines and there was a photo of the same machine as mine. And here is another repair of my sewing machine. Here the master generally suggested removing the power button from my computer machine so that it turns on directly when I plug the power cord into the outlet 🤯. I was completely shocked by this offer. Those who have a computerized sewing and embroidery machine know how important this button is, in no case should it be removed. This time I paid 2,500 rubles to repair a sewing machine that was still rattling. Before the master had time to leave, I began to sew, and the crackling only intensified. Then I bought a new power cord and a new pedal for the car, hoping that this might be the problem. Their cost is 2760 rubles. The problem has not gone away, of course. As a result, 12,260 rubles were spent, the problem with the machine has not been resolved and it is still cracking. I could not sew on it, so as not to burn the typewriter. And now there is no other way out, how to take the machine to a special workshop. I found such a workshop at a store that sells computer sewing machines. I went to change the power supply, not repair it. The power supply for Husqvarna Viking Designer 1 in all workshops where I called costs 13,000-14,500 rubles, plus payment for the work of the master. My machine was in the workshop for one week. I decided at the same time to change the revers button, which often did not work, since I use it often. But you cannot change one button, you need to change 8 buttons at once, they come in one piece. The photo below shows the buttons that I changed, they are clean and not erased, like 4 buttons on the right side. Total: a new power supply and new buttons cost 16,500 rubles. If I had initially gone to this workshop, I would have spent 12,260 rubles less and, most importantly, I would have saved my time and would have done without the hassle. In addition, such workshops as in a specialized sewing store are better because they always have parts for expensive machines in stock and do not need to spend time ordering parts and waiting for them to be delivered. And it also inspires confidence that among those machines that I saw in the workshop, my machine was the most modest. It’s been almost a year since I took the machine out of repair and there are no problems, the machine works great. Thank you for reading my article.

Do you want to know how to buy a rental property? Then check out these 5 ways to fund your real estate deal. If you’re interested in generating positive cash flow with a rental property, then it’s important you know how to actually BUY a rental property. Like, where does the money come from? Because most real estate investors don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting around. Most will need a real estate loan. So, let’s take a quick look at the various types of real estate lenders you can rely on to fund your rental properties. Just like fix and flips and other value-add properties, you have 5 different options, and each of these options have various pros and cons. Hard money is a great option when you need to close a deal fast. We’re talking days instead of weeks or months. Plus, most hard money lenders offer 100% financing. The downside is hard money can be expensive. Rates tend to be higher than other lenders. But this type of loan is intended to be short-term. If used correctly, you only pay these high rates for 6 months or less. Another option to buy a rental property is using a non-traditional loan. These are excellent for those who don’t have—or don’t want to use their tax returns. Unfortunately, they also come with high rates, so they’re more expensive than some of your other real estate funding options. Banks are useful for those who can make the cut. They offer lower rates and allow you to keep your real estate loan in your LLC or business name. But banks also have the strictest requirements, and if you don’t meet those requirements, you’ll get rejected. Worse, they require 3-5 year terms, so you can’t get in and out of them as fast as hard money and other loan options. Traditional loans are one of your cheaper options because they offer the best rates. But be careful, because these types of loans have stricter requirements. And, unlike banks, you can’t put the loan in your LLC or business name. You have to keep it in your personal name. OPM (Other People’s Money) Compared to all the other real estate lenders, OPM offers the lowest cost and highest flexibility. You only pay interest, so there are no points or other random fees. Better yet, you and your lender can set the terms together. The only downside to OPM is finding those who are willing to lend their money to you. But that’s where gaining experience and knowledge in real estate investing helps. The more you know, the more you can prove you’re worth the investment. So, there you go. If you’re interested in buying a rental property, one of these 5 options can help you actually BUY it. Which one is the best? Well, there’s no right answer to that, because every real estate investor has a different path. What works for you might not work for someone else. Ready to find out what YOUR path is? Great! Our team is here to help. We’re excited to set you on a path that helps you make the kind of money you need…to live the life you want.

However, with no fans in the stands and participants all but quarantined to their rooms, the economic benefit is thought to be insignificant. So why bother lobbying the NHL to be a host city? “Outsiders are going to say, ‘Look at Alberta’s ability to handle this pandemic,’ and that is great for the province from a marketing standpoint,” said sports marketing professor Marvin Washington. He said people looking to change locations for work before the COVID-19 pandemic wouldn’t give healthcare a second thought. “Now you’re thinking about healthcare in terms of, ‘Can I get tested? What if something’s wrong? Who’s going to make the decisions?’ We’ve seen it play out all over the world and different cities have responded differently,” said Washington. “That’s why I think the benefit of having the NHL is when people say, ‘Look, obviously healthcare in Alberta must be amazing.’” Not only is it good for bringing people in, Washington said, but Alberta’s response to COVID-19 might also be enticing for companies to invest here. “Why not put your staff here, instead of putting them in Toronto or New York if they’re going to get sick there?” he said. “I would say the benefit of this city is that this city was able to deal with the pandemic.” As for the economy, sport management professor Dan Mason said a large regional sports tournament will have a bigger impact as there will be limitations on the experiences of the players themselves. “It’s not like they’re not going to be shopping the whole time,” he said. “It’s going to benefit some businesses, but it wouldn’t be the same as hosting a large minor hockey tournament and having all the families come from northern Alberta and spend their money at West Edmonton Mall.” From a promotion standpoint, Mason agrees that how the province handled the pandemic is on full display, but doesn’t think anyone is going to change their travel plans to come to Edmonton because of a visual they get at a hockey game. “It’s more there’s this hierarchy of cities and they are constantly trying to compete with each other for the attraction and retention of talented people, businesses and tourists,” he said. “Cities are constantly engaged in some kind of competition with each other, and this is just one other thing they could potentially be doing that with.” Mason said the discourse around the NHL bringing the playoffs to Edmonton is not that different from some of the discourse that occurs around attracting a team in the first place, which of course includes the economic benefits and level of pride or energy the team will bring, both of which can be measured, somewhat. The pride measurement used is known as the contingent valuation method, which grew out of environmental economics to help value things that don’t have value in the marketplace, such as parks and wetlands. Fifteen years ago, when the idea of Rogers Place was still in its infancy, Mason asked Edmontonians how much they would be willing to pay in the form of a tax to have the arena downtown as opposed to somewhere else. For a downtown arena, the answer was $30 million. For the playoffs, Mason said that number might be closer to zero. “There certainly are people in Alberta who will feel proud that we’re hosting the playoffs but when it comes down to it, I think people just want to see some playoff hockey,” he said. As well, Mason noted there are little elements behind the push that would be in the Edmonton Oilers’ self-interest. “I’m sure the Oilers organization would love to have players getting a feel for the city, thinking that might help them attract players down the road. “The Oilers have this beautiful, state-of-the-art facility and they want to do something with it,” he said. “I would feel like we can do this. Why aren’t we?” | Michael Brown This article was submitted by the University of Alberta’s online publication Folio, a Troy Media content provider partner.

by Joshua Ford | 24News Ro Malabanan is a mixed arts master who came upon the scene at the right time. He has a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and a yellow belt in judo. This was only one incident where Ro Malabanan came to the rescue. He was walking to his job as a boxing instructor when he saw a man sucker-punch a construction worker. After checking on the victim, Ro Malabanan ran the attacker down, and his jiu-jitsu instincts took over. “I jumped on his back,” said Malabanan. “He tried to swing me off then — but for those of you in the know — a seatbelt position dragged him down to the floor, and I immediately took his back and pinned him to the ground.” As Malabanan secured the perp while others gathered to share other victims’ similar incidents. Police investigations lead to information regarding other unprovoked attacks. More on this story via The New York Post He was charged with two counts of assault, according to police, who noted that Frazier did not have a home address. Malabanan, who said he was not interviewed by police because he was late for work, said he believed at least six people were attacked by the unapologetic suspect, who was “playing the victim,” the fighter explained over the phone. “They were walking into me,” Frazier was filmed explaining to Malabanan as he pleaded for mercy on the ground. “Nah, that’s bulls–t, bro, you still don’t punch people in the face for no f—ing reason,” the fighter retorted as tourists standing outside the Museum of Ice Cream looked on. Two officers eventually arrived and handcuffed the suspect as onlookers shook hands with Malabanan, the footage showed. Malabanan has lived in New York City since immigrating from the Philippines at the age of 9. He told The Post he has often been harassed over his Asian heritage but has always been able to de-escalate the situation without fighting. His professional fighting career has been sidelined due to concussions. Now a martial arts and boxing instructor and aspiring actor, Malabanan said he helps other New Yorkers stand up to bullies by teaching them how to fight and defend themselves. “Just another day,” he said. “A lot of crazies out there in the streets right now so just please be careful. They will sucker-punch you. They will take out their frustrations.”

"Are you trying to avoid taking responsibility?" He narrowed his brows. "N-No, I J-Just don't... remember anything!!" I stuttered worriedly. "Don't remember?" He leans his face soo close to me, his nose almost touching mine, his warm breath fanning over my face making me freeze in my place. "You were such a bully last night!!" He husked out and my eyes widened. Stop. Stop... Then Siddharth lifted my both hand and purred while biting my fingertips with desire clear in his eyes like a hungry wolf. "You grabbed my hands then..." Paused. Oh gosh, What did I do? I-I... I actually R-Ra...R... Urgh! I can't even say the word to my mind. I am such a-a beast. ★★★ Hritika Singh Shekhawat. 22, not your average poor girl who decided to move to New York to experience her life like a common employee, but on the way she accidentally collide a stranger and that stranger was none other than the world's No. 1 hottest Ruthless Billionaire who fell hard for her on first meeting. Siddharth Malhotra, 28, not your average billionaire playboy who used to thinks 'Love is not my cup of tea and never will be'. For him, money was the most powerful thing in the world but he never shows that he has so much money. This is what he learned from childhood. But will he make her fall for himself? Well she loves something more than herself, that is her freedom. Will She willing to sacrifice her freedom for him which she has struggled to achieve? Till what limit he will go to get her, with her past demon lurking around? ★★★ 🖤The Reason I FELL For YOU So HARD That You Are Not Like The Rest🖤~ Him.

This 29 seconds-long video of life in the lab exemplifies the nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled behavior essential to adaptive evolution via ecological, social, neurogenic (e.g., in nematodes) and socio-cognitive niche construction. The molecular mechanisms common to species from microbes to man involve the complexity of systems biology. The neurogenetic complexity is not funny until the behavior of nematodes is associated with human behavior by adding a sound-track. At that point, the association is hilarious, and we can all laugh together at those who think that random mutations are responsible for the visually-perceived association between the “dancing” of worms and human dance. About James V. Kohl 1308 Articles James Vaughn Kohl was the first to accurately conceptualize human pheromones, and began presenting his findings to the scientific community in 1992. He continues to present to, and publish for, diverse scientific and lay audiences, while constantly monitoring the scientific presses for new information that is relevant to the development of his initial and ongoing conceptualization of human pheromones. Recently, Kohl integrated scientific evidence that pinpoints the evolved neurophysiological mechanism that links olfactory/pheromonal input to genes in hormone-secreting cells of tissue in a specific area of the brain that is primarily involved in the sensory integration of olfactory and visual input, and in the development of human sexual preferences. His award-winning 2007 article/book chapter on multisensory integration: The Mind’s Eyes: Human pheromones, neuroscience, and male sexual preferences followed an award winning 2001 publication: Human pheromones: integrating neuroendocrinology and ethology, which was coauthored by disinguished researchers from Vienna. Rarely do researchers win awards in multiple disciplines, but Kohl’s 2001 award was for neuroscience, and his 2007 “Reiss Theory” award was for social science. Kohl has worked as a medical laboratory scientist since 1974, and he has devoted more than twenty-five years to researching the relationship between the sense of smell and the development of human sexual preferences. Unlike many researchers who work with non-human subjects, medical laboratory scientists use the latest technology from many scientific disciplines to perform a variety of specialized diagnostic medical testing on people.

After a Covid outbreak at a Foxconn manufacturing unit in Zhengzhou, China, some employees selected to go dwelling. Pictured listed below are the shuttle buses on Oct. 30, 2022. Vcg | Visible China Group | Getty Photographs BEIJING — China’s choice to take care of Covid controls is pushing corporations to look to factories outdoors the nation, in keeping with The Economist Intelligence Unit. “What we’re listening to from corporations [is] they’re shifting forward with their provide chain diversification plans as a result of this start-stop economic system is right here to remain,” stated Nick Marro, international commerce chief at The Economist Intelligence Unit. “If it is an on-off economic system, if issues cannot get carried out, that impacts decision-making,” he stated. “We do not count on corporations to go away China. We simply count on them to diversify their footprint, China plus one.” Beijing’s stringent Covid controls helped the nation resume work whereas the remainder of the world nonetheless struggled with the pandemic in 2020. Whereas different nations have relaxed most restrictions and chosen to “reside with Covid,” Beijing has elevated virus testing necessities and broad controls since Shanghai was locked down for 2 months earlier this 12 months. Authorities have tried to maintain vital factories in manufacturing beneath what’s known as a closed-loop system, during which staff reside and work on the identical web site, or at most solely journey between work and residential. A Covid outbreak at Apple provider Foxconn’s manufacturing unit in the previous few weeks reveals the continued challenges factories face in making an attempt to take care of operations whereas conserving infections from spreading. “I do not suppose we will actually extrapolate simply from one case, however that is noteworthy as a result of it reveals a type of breakdown in that closed-loop system,” Marro stated. Over the weekend, some Foxconn employees reportedly compelled their manner out of Covid controls on the manufacturing unit. Municipal authorities subsequently introduced plans to help employees who needed to go away the manufacturing unit to return to their hometowns. Foxconn didn’t reply to a CNBC request for remark. “Clearly if they do not change this Covid zero coverage we’re going to see circumstances like this occurring repeatedly,” stated Patrick Chen, head of analysis for CLSA in Taiwan. He stated he expects little change within the coverage until vaccination charges enhance. “I do not see a lot of an incremental price related to these closed-loop administration or manufacturing, however there will definitely be some unfavourable affect on the worker morale or the general high quality within the manufacturing yield,” he stated, noting Foxconn has introduced financial incentives to maintain staff on the manufacturing unit. Usually, Chen stated employees at factories like Foxconn’s obtain a month-to-month wage of about $1,000. Weak demand softens affect Whereas Foxconn’s Zhengzhou manufacturing unit handles vital iPhone manufacturing, Chen stated weak demand for the smartphone means manufacturing disruptions have much less of an affect. The worldwide smartphone market declined by 12% within the third quarter from a 12 months in the past, though Apple held up with slight development, in keeping with Counterpoint Analysis. Virtually twice as many US corporations minimize their funding in China this 12 months versus final 12 months, the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai present in a survey this summer season. On the finish of the day, it is that uncertainty which is the largest downside for buyers. Economist Intelligence Unit Just below a 3rd of respondents stated they have been rising funding within the nation, the survey discovered. However that determine was down from 38% final 12 months. CLSA’s Chen stated the rising price of operating a sizeable operation in China has prompted tech corporations to maneuver manufacturing for much less advanced merchandise outdoors the nation. Nevertheless, he famous it is tough for Apple to search out one other 200,000 to 300,000 employees — as there are on the Foxconn Zhengzhou manufacturing unit — to make the iPhone outdoors of China, besides in India. The US smartphone large introduced in September it was manufacturing its newest mannequin, the iPhone 14, in India for the primary time. JPMorgan analysts predicted that simply 5% of Apple’s international iPhone 14 manufacturing would transfer to India this 12 months. Learn extra about China from CNBC Professional In the previous few weeks, China has introduced measures to encourage extra international funding in manufacturing and particular industries akin to animation and beer brewing. The extent of implementation stays unclear, particularly when controlling Covid outbreaks stays the precedence for now. “International companies need to be in China, and the businesses which can be nonetheless available in the market, I feel we will take them at face worth once they say they’re dedicated to the Chinese language market,” EIU’s Marro stated. “They’re type of ready for indicators that the operational setting and the macroeconomic setting will enhance.” “The most important downside is these indicators aren’t coming,” he stated. “On the finish of the day, it is that uncertainty which is the largest downside for buyers.” — CNBC’s Arjun Kharpal contributed to this report.

Growing up in LA, Porsches were everywhere – in movies, on TV, and on the road. In 2006, when Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson (a known Porsche hater) aired a gushing review of the 997 Turbo, it stuck in my mind. A few years later, my uncle bought a used 997 Turbo, and when I graduated high school, before heading off to college, he let me drive it through the SoCal canyons. Besides getting pulled over (see my article on that in the May Nor’Easter, page 24) that car pretty much ruined me for all other sports cars. I knew I had to have a Porsche. What’s your history with PCA and New England? After four years of college in Boston, I settled in the area and bought a $3000 1985.5 944 to fix up and play around with. I had a daily driver, so it wasn’t my only car, and it smoked like Don Draper. I learned how to fix a lot of things myself, and joined PCA for technical support as well as to become part of the community. Nine months later, the pandemic hit and I wasn’t very active in PCA for a while. As COVID dragged on and I fixed my 944 up, Luis (VP – Communications) asked me if I’d want to be more involved with the club by helping out with social media. I said yes, and that’s when I really began to get to know the membership A few months after that, we were at a bitterly cold season-opener Cars and Coffee at South Shore Autowerks, and spotted a ‘99 911 Carrera 4 that needed some love but looked promising and had all the right maintenance items done. (See May Nor’Easter story linked above for details.) Of course, I bought it (what fun would this story be if I hadn’t?!) and began my dream journey of owning a Porsche 911. I immediately replaced tires and brakes (the previous owner ran Michelins, which was a good sign, but they were nearly toast – and the brakes felt like the Red Line screeching to a halt.) An exhaust leak and an oil change later, we were on the road! I drive the C4 in the winter – after all, it’s a C4! I do have a daily (ten year old Audi A4 6-speed), so for commuting and extreme conditions I take that, but bringing the Porsche out on freshly coated backroads is so fun. You get to experience the car’s handling dynamics at much lower, safer speeds, and as Joe Cracco said, life is too damn short not to. I don’t drive the 944 much in the winter because it’s 36 years old and I’m not sure how the factory galvanization and rustproofing are holding up. It has one small rust spot by the driver’s rear wheel arch and I don’t want to make it any worse. However with the newer car and frequent washes, that isn’t as much of a concern. Did you ever have a moment that wasn’t so fun? You have to be careful driving in the winter. My main concerns are hitting black ice, or a texting driver on bald tires sliding into me. It hasn’t happened yet in the Porsche, but I have been rear ended during the winter in my daily, so I try to drive the fun cars outside of main commuting times. Get winter tires! On a lighter note, my first car was a ‘97 Miata that I parked outside at college and would routinely get plowed in. One time, it took me, a friend, and a bag of kitty litter an hour to rock it out of a parking space! Looking back, that hour was quite fun and time well spent, but there were some other sketchy moments on the road in that car which taught me a lot about car control. Most fun driving moments (winter/non-winter)? Most fun – last year at DE Preview day doing parade laps of Palmer (a GT3’s 5/10 parade lap is my 9/10) in the 944. My New Year’s resolution is to get on the track with the 911 this year! Most fun Winter – Probably Snow AutoX at Lime Rock with the Audi. Highly recommend. Their AutoX course is an actual mini-track with elevation changes and curbing. And then it gets covered in snow and is even better. How are you keeping busy beyond cars this winter? Learning how to ski! I never learned as a kid so finally ripped off the band-aid. Other than that, spending time with friends and family and taking weekend trips around the region (ok I guess that involves cars 🙂 .) Favorite and least favorite parts of winter? I grew up in LA so this is still foreign to me. There’s something magical about the way snow transforms the landscape and makes everything quiet. So – favorites: walking around the city in a fresh snow, parking lot shenanigans, ski culture, walking on an empty beach on a warm-enough day in January. Least favorite: Shoveling, slipping on ice, shorter days (I’m an outdoors guy.) This winter, I’m also working on several projects with the 996 to get it ready for the spring. New bucket seats to get out on track next season, fixing some electrical gremlins, maybe a couple performance upgrades… What are the best and worst cars you’ve driven in the snow? Worst: Miata (shudders.) Best: My A4 has never gotten stuck *knock on wood.* Quattro (mechanical Torsen, 40:60 front:rear) paired with decent snow tires is the real deal! Remember, AWD helps you go, tires help you stop and turn. Even with that, nothing stops or turns on ice. But I’ve been so impressed with the A4 even in deep snow. You can get the tail out but it’s really controllable. I’m excited to play with the C4 some more, though. Are you enjoying your winter? Write to us at [email protected] and let us know what you’ve been up to, and what you’re looking forward to most during the freeze, and as we thaw out.

The thought of flying with an infant for the first time brings fear to most new parents and even some experienced ones. Most of us instantly focus on the flying portion of the trip but at times forget that there will be hours spent at the airport before we even board the flight. And that’s assuming your flight is on time, which seems to happen less and less these days. Getting through the airport has its share of challenges. From long line ups, delayed flights, jet lag, customs and now you throw a baby in the mix… Can it get any easier? This means that not only will you need to bring extra luggage, food, toys, clothes… but you will also will need to carry your baby with you through each of these stages at the airport. Believe me, I know that it can be stressful. I’ve been there more than a few times. However, although traveling with an infant is not a walk in the park, it doesn’t have to be a nightmare either. We’ve done our share of travelling and picked up some great tricks along the way that we’d love to share with you. Arrive at The Airport Early (But Not Too Early) We both agree that the check-in process at the airports is nothing to look forward to. It all begins with arriving at the check-in counter and being welcomed with a lineup that moves very slowly. Some airports offer automated check-in machines, however, if you’re checking in some of your baby accessories such as stroller, car set or a pack n play, you will likely need to go see an agent at the counter. If you’re lucky, your airline will offer a special lineup for families, but that doesn’t happen often. Plan for a longer than usual check in process since there will be some additional steps to go through when travelling with a baby. After checking in your luggage, you will be given tags for your stroller. Most airlines do allow for your stroller to be checked int at the gate but you will need to have the tags attached to it. Once you get through the check-in, you will then have to maneuver baby, carry-ons and stroller through security. Get ready for more line ups. Everything takes a little longer and is much more complicated with a baby so plan well ahead for your arrival time and give yourself some buffer in case of unexpected detours and delays. I like to book flights that take off just before the time my son takes his usual naps. This almost guarantees that he will sleep well on the flight and we can use that time to relax. Here is the kicker; if you arrive too early before the flight departure you will likely have to deal with multiple feeds, diaper changes and extra fussiness on top of all the other things you need to deal with at the airport. My suggestions for timing your arrival at the airport with a baby are: - 2 to 2.5 hours before a domestic flight - 3 to 3.5 hours before an international flight - Check your flight status before leaving for the airport - Check the traffic to the airport to estimate the arrival time - Go straight to the check-in counter and ask if they have an express line for families/babies Wear Your Baby Considering the amount of luggage and carry on items that you’ll need to pack for a flight with your baby, your hands are certainly going to be busy. For instance, if you choose to use your stroller through the airport, you’re left with only one hand to carry all your other bags. A simple solution is to wear your baby through the airport. It will free both your hands to carry the other luggage that you may have. Plus, if you invest in a buckle-less carrier, you can usually pass through security without having to remove your baby. Also, consider investing in a backpack diaper bag that can double up as your carry on. This way, you can wear your baby on the front and your backpack on your back. It will be easier and less stressful for you. You can also bring your baby carrier in addition to your stroller. If baby gets fussy in the stroller, move him to the baby carrier and continue as you would have otherwise. Baby carriers can save you at the airport so don’t leave it at home or with your checked luggage! Gate Check Your Baby Gear Most airlines allow you to gate check heavy baby gear such as car seats and strollers. You’ll only need to request the attendants at the airline’s check-in counter for gate check tags. Next, attach one tag to each of the baby items and drop them at the bottom of the jetway or at the boarding gate. Note that if your stroller is a two-piece stroller you will need two tags, one for each piece. When you arrive at your destination, you’ll be happy to find your baby gear waiting for you right as you exit the airplane. However, you must check with the airline’s attendants before booking your flight to confirm their gate check regulations. They may have restrictions for how many items you can check and what size is allowed. You can almost always be sure that small or foldable strollers will be allowed at the gate. Keep Handbags and Carry ons To a Minimum When traveling with a baby, you’ll often find yourself over packing. But, to avoid the stress of having to carry a zillion things through the airport, it is best to bring only the essential items. If you plan to bring a stroller, remember that your hands will be busy pushing the stroller and you may not have a way to pull a wheeled carry on along. A backpack is always a great idea because it can be carrier without needing your hands. If your stroller has under storage, you might want to plan to use it for any additional items such as a diaper bag. But remember that after you check the stroller at the gate, you will need to carry your baby and whatever additional items you have with you. Always pack a few changes of clothes for you and your baby in your carry on. Also ensure you pack in a few snacks, toys, and enough diapers. Check For Airport Rules For Breast Milk/Formula And Food It is highly recommended that you check beforehand the airport’s rules for baby milk or formula. This information can always be found in the airport’s website. Although baby milk, formula, and food are often allowed in most airlines, there is sometimes a limit on the amount you can carry. Other times they will mention that parents are allowed a “reasonable amount” of baby food, formula or breast milk. Additionally, all the food should be stored in its original packaging or transparent zip-lock bags. Verify That Your Airline Allows for Stroller Check-In at The Gate Even though most people assume that you can just check in your stroller at the gate, the reality is that many airlines and airport do not allow for it OR have specific rules about what’s allowed and what’s not. Imagine how you would feel if you arrived at the check-in counter and found out that your stroller can’t go in with you and must be checked… gahh! Make sure to inquire about the airline’s regulations before even booking your flight. Use the Stroller Storage Areas To Keep Hands Free Traveling with your little bundle of joy means that you’ll have to carry a lot more items than what you were used to before. If not packed thoughtfully, you may end up looking like you have packed a month’s supply for a two-day trip. If you find yourself having a hard time trimming down your carry-on baggage, remember that you can usually shove a lot of stuff under your stroller. It will make navigating through the airport a lot easier. Avoid Boarding the Plane Too Early Some airlines allow parents with infants or young children to board in the plane on priority, Usually right after their “premium” members. This can come in very handy especially when you are already exhausted from all the waiting and queues. However, boarding first may not be the best idea especially if you are going on a long flight and your baby is not yet asleep. This is because it may take passengers 30 to 60 minutes to board the plane. If you’re the first one in, you will need to remain seated and wait for everyone else to come in and find their seats. Most babies hate small spaces and not moving so you will need to find creative ways to keep him entertained. The thought of traveling with a baby by itself is overwhelming. But the truth is that if you are anxious and unsettled, your baby is likely to get fussy and upset too. Even if you are traveling alone, compose yourself, do what you have to do and do not mind the judgy stares you’ll get from other people. Babies will always act like babies and there’s nothing much you can do about it. The best way to succeed in anything is to plan. And, since you are reading this article it is a good sign that you are already planning ahead of your upcoming trip. I hope these tips helped you prepare for you next stint at the airport with your baby.

News from around the world that you might have missed…’ Words: Kat Wall China’s burgeoning environmental movement – China On Wednesday 12th August there were explosions in the Chinese city of Tianjin after a chemical warehouse unit storing sodium cyanide blew up, killing 114 people, injuring 700 and displacing at least 6000. Sodium cyanide is mostly used in chemical manufacturing and in the mining industry and is fatal if inhaled or ingested as it interferes with the body’s ability to use oxygen. Environmental damage and its impact on the lives of people in China is sparking protest across the country. Environmental damage and its impact on the lives of people in China is sparking protest across the country. In towns and cities demonstrators are demanding a response to the growing destruction generated by the very engines of China’s economic growth: factories, power states and chemical plants. So far these protests have been fairly localised, although connections are starting to be made, especially through social media tools like Weibo; China’s answer to Twitter. As one activist, Deng Fei, said, “Chinese people were like shattered glass before we had Weibo. There was no way to unite”. Now there is. Black Lives Matter – USA Correction: This post originally stated incorrect information. This has now been corrected. The Cable and author apologise for this error. A backlash against the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement is taking place in the USA. On Thursday 3rd September, Bill O’Reily, a news pundit for Fox News, asked if this movement should be labelled a hate group. This forms part of a series of attacks launched by the right-wing media that talks as though this movement against police violence, which is intentionally non-violent, is itself responsible for recent shootings of police officers. The movement was ignited in St. Louis when a white police officer shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed 18 year old African American. Thousands of protesters gathered across the country in uproar and ‘Black Lives Matter’ was born. Over a year later later there have been protests in every major city in the USA seeing the most sustained period of anti-racist protest in decades. What is unique about this movement is that it seeks to centralise the voices of those marginalised by both society and social movements; as said by co-founder of ‘Black Lives Matter’, Opal Tometi. This approach has opened up the political space for Black trans people, Black immigrants, Black incarcerated people, low-income Black people and Black people with disabilities to be at the front, leading this bold, systemic and radical movement for justice. Responding to the need of Syrian refugees – Iceland In response to the Icelandic government saying only 50 Syrian refugees would be accepted into the country this year, 11,000 Icelanders have offered to take refugees into their homes, forcing the government to rethink. Officials have now reached out to the United Nations Refugee Agency, stating that Iceland is willing to take more refugees. Nearly four million Syrians have fled their country and over seven million are displaced within their country’s borders. With the civil war still raging after four years of violence and huge suffering endured by the civilian population, people are leaving their homes and communities. The majority of those leaving Syria are going to neighbouring countries, with nearly two million currently in Turkey. 11,000 Icelanders have offered to take refugees into their homes Those making it to Europe number in the hundreds of thousands, with latest estimates saying less than 5000 Syrian refugees have been granted asylum since the start of the humanitarian crisis. Within this number, 219 Syrians were resettled in the UK under the Government’s ‘vulnerable persons relocation scheme’. This is about the same number of people that would fit into one train carriage. After huge public pressure, the UK Government agreed to resettle up to 20,000 Syrian refugees by 2020. All across Europe, citizens are coming together saying ‘Refugees Welcome Here’. People are offering shelter, food, friendship and solutions to a situation that has only become a crisis due to governments’ failure to act and respond to the needs of fellow human beings.

Welcome to St. Peter's Parish Church, Jersey A church has stood on this site for well over a thousand years. By the year 1053 this building was the parish church, paying tithes to the Abbey of St. Sauveur le Vicomte, near Cherbourg. The monks of that abbey served this parish for many centuries. Built on a very exposed site, the church was dedicated, by the monks, to "St. Pierre dans le desert" - the rock in the wilderness The church consists of a chancel, nave, transepts and two aisles. Over the crossing is a massive square tower with a tapering quadrilateral stone steeple, rising 38 metres (123 feet), the tallest in Jersey. The original church occupied the exact site of the present sanctuary and choir, measuring 12 x 5.8m (39 x 19 feet), it had north and south door. The lintel stone of the south door may be seen on the exterior wall of the south-east corner of the base of the spire. The original roof would have been of wood. The present arches indicate a later date, when the roof was remade in its present form. The buttresses are flat and narrow, but the supporting walls are 1 - 1.3 m (3 - 4 feet) thick. The present windows in the chancel, including the east window were enlarged in the 15th and 16th centuries. In our Parish Church we are fortunate to have two bells inside the spire called Elizabeth (1649) and Mary (1754), named after St Elizabeth the mother of St John the Baptist and The Blessed Virgin Mary the mother of Jesus (There is an enchanting phrase on the side of Elizabeth which says in Norman French, “I am Elizabeth the cousin of Mary.” (Luke chapter 1 makes clear the relationship between Elizabeth and Mary) . The bells ring out the message of God’s love, across the whole parish, reminding us all, week by week and day by day, of that love. The ancient and unique custom here in St Peter’s, St Mary’s and St Ouen, the ‘western parishes’, of ringing the bells continuously on Christmas Eve and Day, admittedly originally to celebrate a victory over the French in the fifteenth century, now also happily suits the Church’s role too of ‘ringing out the bells’ to celebrate anew the great festival of Christmas, by proclaiming God’s love to us in Jesus through His birth, death and resurrection. More information on the bells can be found here. The nave was added to the 'old' church in 1167. The tradition is that the Bishop of Coutances consecrated the church on St. Peter's Day. The transepts were added at the same time, making the church cruciform. A short 'Norman' tower was built, though the spire was not added for some three centuries. The nave is markedly out of line with the chancel. Contrary to some opinion, this has no reference to the drooping head of Christ on the cross, rather an error of orientation! The West wall is almost as built in the 12th century. The two dissimilar lancet windows are original, but the circular window dates only from 1856. The transepts now contain the Lady Chapel in the north, and the organ and meeting room in the south. The next enlargement took place in the 14th century, with the addition of the south aisle, and a chapel to the north of the chancel. The north-east chapel is now used as a sacristy and flower room. Tradition tells us that the south aisle was founded by a blacksmith called Le Brun. It contained an altar and the pricina is still to be seen. A stone fashioned to represent the crucifixion, with figures either side of the cross, made out of blacksmith tools, can be seen on the buttress to the south of the west door. The stone now lies horizontally. This is reputedly Mr. Le Brun's headstone. A north-west chapel was built in the 14th or 15th centuries, but was demolished in 1886 when the new north side was added. This final enlargement took place to help to accommodate the soldiers, who were part of the Jersey Militia stationed on the island until 1926, and housed at St. Peter's Barracks, which stood near the far end of the present airport runway. At this time the church was designed to seat 600 with pews crammed into every available space! The former colours of the Jersey Militia hang either side of the west door. The central standard is that of the RASC 'Jersey Boys' who were stationed here just prior to the occupation in 1940. The cased former colour of TS Undaunted (now TS Jersey) was presented to the church when a previous Rector was made their Chaplain. Behind the high altar, and to the north of the sanctuary, are two rare and interesting pieces of the work of George Tinworth, a Victorian sculptor. The reredos and mural are made in terracotta and were commissioned for this church by the Revd Le Feuvre in 1887 from Royal Doulton. The scenes depict 'The Last Supper' and 'The Calling of Peter'. A list of Rectors in the chancel shows a definite line since the Reformation, with dates of known pre-Reformation priests. A 'benitier' to the north of the Lady Chapel altar was discovered in the ruins of a house cleared to enlarge the airport in 1951. It is a holy water stoop, or niche for statues, now used for lighting prayer candles. Please feel free to light a candle here if you wish. The modern statue of St. Peter above the high altar and that of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Lady Chapel were commissioned locally in 1972. New windows have been installed in the church. The ones in the nave depict (clockwise from the south aisle): 'A St. Peter's Harvest', 'Jesus friend of little children', 'Jersey Airport', 'The Occupation and Liberation of Jersey' and St. Peter'. In the Lady Chapel - 'Jesus the Good Shepherd'. In the east window - the Nativity, Ascension and Baptism of Jesus; and to the immediate right - The Nativity and The Annunciation. A church is a place of worship, not a museum. The life of this church is a long one. We ask you to spend a moment in prayer for the current life of the church in this parish, and for yourselves.

You can listen to any Medium story with the Speechify Play Button. At Medium and Speechify, we’re always exploring new ways to make content more accessible. That’s why we’re excited to share that Speechify is available to all Medium users with the launch of Medium’s Listen feature. Any Medium user can click the “Listen” button at the top of most stories to hear an audio version read aloud from a number of narrators. Since the launch of our partnership, Medium users have told us that audio has helped them consume more stories than ever before – up to three times as many. Audio helps people listen to Medium articles during the day when they normally wouldn’t be reading: while going on walks, commuting, exercising, doing chores, doing other things on their computer, or even as they fall asleep. We’ve also heard many users tell us they retain information better when they have a chance to listen and read at the same time. This is a new way of consuming content that our partnership supports – Speechify highlights text as it reads the audio out loud to you. “When working out, I used to read on my phone between sets. Now, it’s so much easier with audio — I can listen to many more articles than I could read before.” — Jess, Medium listener From everything we’ve heard, we believe the Speechify play button on Medium can make your experience with Medium more enjoyable and flexible. A Magical Way to Read More If you love reading, you probably have a long list of articles bookmarked. You can now use the Listen feature to make your way through that list faster. Speechify also allows you to change your listening speed. Some users listen to articles at 2-3x the normal listening speed. You can listen to articles at up to 4.5x the normal speed. Speed listening is a productivity hack for many, and we’re excited to make it easier for you. A Tool for Proofreading We’ve heard that writers find the Listen feature helpful when they’re proofreading their drafts. Sentences often sound different when you read them out loud, and we’re excited to help our community of creators improve the stories they bring to life. To listen to one of your drafts, you can click the “…” button in Medium’s web editor, then select “share draft link,” visit that link yourself, and click the Listen button. Making Reading Easy By some estimates, one in five people faces dyslexia, which can make traditional reading difficult. Many people also have visual impairment. Through our listening option, we aim to lower the barrier to learning and delight across Medium. How You Can Listen to Medium with Speechify You can find the Listen button at the top of a Medium story. When you press this button via web browser, the story text is read to you and you’ll see the words highlighted as you go. We all have our own tastes. If you’d like to listen to a voice other than the default option, you can select a new one by clicking the voice button in the bottom left corner. In the bottom right corner, you can click the speed button to adjust the playback speed from 0.5x to 4.5x. – Team Medium & Team Speechify

CHOOSING A HOME IN A GOOD LOCATION There is an old Canadian joke that says the three most important things in choosing a home are: location, location, location! While this is meant to be funny, it is also true that one of the most important things to look for when buying a home is a community where you will feel safe and comfortable, and that is convenient for you and your family. To help you find a home of your own, Premiere Mortgage Centre offers the following tips on how to choose a location that works for you: It is a good idea to find out if there are any future developments being planned that could affect house prices or property taxes. For instance, you probably wouldn’t want to buy your dream home in a peaceful, quiet community, only to find out that there are plans to build a high-rise apartment building next door. Contact your municipal office and ask about the planning regulations and zoning bylaws for any area you are interested in. The choice of where you want to live often depends on where you work, and how you and your family want to live. If you don’t want to spend a lot of time driving to and from work, for example, you may want to look for a place that is close to where you work, or which has several options nearby for public transportation. If you are considering moving to a neighbourhood you aren’t already familiar with, take some time to drive or walk around the area, both during the day and at night. Look carefully at the schools and other local services. Find out how much time it would take you to commute to your job, either by car or using public transit. NEW HOMES VS. RESALE HOMES In older neighbourhoods, you may have a choice between new homes and resale homes. New homes are houses that have just been built, and which no one has ever lived in before. Resale homes are houses that have been lived in by one or more other families, and which are being sold by the current owner. There are advantages and disadvantages to both types of housing, so make sure you decide what kind of home you want before you make any final decisions. If you have children, look for a neighbourhood that is close to a good school. If your family is active, you may want to live near recreation facilities, such as a golf course, community centre, playground or public skating rink. PROPERTY VALUES IN THE AREA When you consider location, you should also consider the property values in the neighbourhood. Property values are the average prices of the homes in the area. In most cases, it is better to buy a home in a neighbourhood where the house prices have been rising, rather than one where the prices are falling. If you do not have a car, make sure the neighbourhood you choose has most of the services you will need. For example, will you be close to medical and dental care? Is there a place of worship for your faith nearby? Can you walk to stores to do your shopping? Is there public transportation, and does it get you where you need to go?

Objective: To determine if trophectoderm (TE) grade or inner cell mass (ICM) grade have predictive value after euploid frozen embryo transfer (euFET) among RPL patients. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Single fertility center, 2012-2018. Patients: Patients with ≥ 2 prior pregnancy losses performing PGT-A with ≥1 euploid embryo for transfer. Interventions: All patients underwent ICSI, trophectoderm biopsy, blastocyst grading and vitrification, and single euFET. Outcome of the first transfer was recorded. Main outcome measures: Live birth (LB) and clinical miscarriage (CM) rates. Results: 660 euFET were included. In a binomial logistic regression analysis accounting for age, BMI, AMH and day of blastocyst biopsy, ICM grade C was not significantly associated with odds of live birth (aOR 0.50, 95% CI 0.24-1.02 p=0.057), miscarriage (aOR 1.67, 95% CI 0.56-5.00, p=0.36) or biochemical pregnancy loss (aOR 1.58, 95% CI 0.53-4.75, p=0.42). TE grade C was significantly associated with odds of live birth (aOR 0.49, 95% CI 0.28-0.86, p=0.01) and was not associated with odds of miscarriage (aOR 2.00, 95% CI 0.89-4.47, p=0.09) or biochemical pregnancy loss (aOR 1.85, 95% CI 0.77-4.44, p=0.17). Blastocyst grade CC had significantly lower LB rate compared to all other blastocyst grades (p<0.05, chi-square analysis). Conclusion: Embryo grade CC and TE grade C are associated with decrease in odds of LB after euFET in RPL patients. Embryo grade is not associated with odds of CM in this cohort of RPL patients, suggesting that additional embryonic or uterine factors may influence risk of pregnancy loss.

I feel as though I’ve been in France for so long, I’ve been so busy! I hope the rest of the semester keeps going by this slowly. Within my first couple of days in Antibes, I had the best pain au chocolate I’ve ever eaten, I tried pastis (the people in A Year in Provence drank it a lot so I wanted to give it a try. It’s a cloudy, pale pink color and tastes like black licorice), and I learned that in France, breakfast and dessert are essentially the same thing. A typical breakfast from my host mom: chocolate chocolate chip cookies, a chocolate covered waffle, and a glass of orange juice Classes at the university I’m attending, SKEMA-EAI (the School of Knowledge and Economy Management’s Euro-American Institute), began on Wednesday. Each class meets once a week for three hours. I’ve only had two so far: Contemporary French Culture and Database Applications for Business. Three straight hours of Database Applications for Business is a little much, but I could spend an entire day in Contemporary French Culture. The SKEMA Bachelors building, where I attend class I’d never realized how important space is for the French. According to my professor, French students are taught geography all throughout their schooling, because selon les français, if one knows where she/he is, one knows who she/he is. That’s why they use the expression “perdre le nord” (literally, to lose the north) to describe someone who has gone crazy. Yesterday my study abroad program had our first excursion! We went to Nice, Eze and Monaco, which I was very excited for because in one of the books I read at school last semester (Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth), the characters took a cruise to this area of France. At an outdoor market in Nice I tried socca, a traditional Provençal dish made from chickpea flour. It’s similar to a crêpe, but thicker and chickpea flavored. The recipe is pretty simple, and there are a lot of different variations of it, so I want to try to make some! Next we visited Eze, a small town about halfway between Nice and Monaco. We went to the Parfumerie Fragonard, which could not have a better location: it’s perched on a hill that looks out over the Mediterranean. Studying to be a “parfumeur” isn’t easy, because there aren’t many schools to attend, and they only accepts students with truly exceptional noses (seriously!!). If you become a parfumeur, you can only work two hours a day because your nose gets so overwhelmed by all the scents that after two hours you can’t differentiate between them. View from the Parfumerie Fragonard From there we walked up the hill to the medieval village of Eze, which only has one entrance that used to be protected by a cannon. Today only 50 people live within the village walls! Finally came Monaco, one of the smallest states in the world (second only to the Vatican). We drove along the route of the Grand Prix. Our bus driver, Pièrre, gave us a taste of what driving in it would be like: he stopped our bus at the place where the race starts, then after a count of 1-2-3, sped ahead! We ended the excursion with a visit to the Casino Monte Carlo. It was quite fancy (which is to be expected), and was surrounded by some VERY nice cars (Ferraris, a Lamborghini…also to be expected). Unfortunately the Casino didn’t allow photos to be taken inside, but I did gamble! I broke even, but one girl in our group won a couple euros. Casino Monte Carlo Today my study abroad group visited the Musée Picasso. It has works that Picasso made while he was living here in Antibes. He donated them all with the stipulation that they remain at the museum permanently, so people would have to travel to Antibes to see them. All the titles of the paintings are in French, and most of them begin with the words “Nature morte.” Morte means dead, so for the first half of my visit I kept thinking that Picasso must have had a very morbid outlook on life. Then I read a description of one section of the museum in both English and French. Turns out Picasso adored sea creatures and everything to do with the Mediterranean. Nature morte means still life… After the museum our group walked to the Cap d’Antibes, which has an amazing view. We could see L’Ile Sainte-Marguerite, Juan Les Pins, Antibes, Monaco and Italy. On our way back we stopped at a restaurant across from the beach, and I had my first café au lait. With a little sugar, it was actually pretty good! View from the Cap d’Antibes A la prochaine!

When a yugabyte TServer instance is deployed, it is configured with Hard and Soft limits in terms of memory usage. By default, the hard limit is set to 85% of total memory available. The following code in the file src/yb/util/mem_tracker.cc in the yugabyte-db repo enforces this: "If memory_limit_hard_bytes is left unspecified, then it is " "set to default_memory_limit_to_ram_ratio * Available RAM."); The soft limit is 85% of the hard limit, enforced by the following code in the same file: "Percentage of the hard memory limit that this daemon may " "consume before memory throttling of writes begins. The greater " "the excess, the higher the chance of throttling. In general, a " "lower soft limit leads to smoother write latencies but " "decreased throughput, and vice versa for a higher soft limit."); So, for instance if we have a 16GB node, the hard limit will be 13.6GB and the soft limit will be 11.56GB. After 11.56GB is consumed, the TServer will start to reject new internal writes (when TServers receives an insert/update/delete etc request from an external client, these request are converted into one or more internal writes, which are then replicated through RAFT), with probability change depending on current memory consumption. Here probability change is a random number picked between 0 and 1. If the random number picked is less than (C-S)/(H-S), where S is soft limit, H is hard limit and C is current consumption. So the probability change will be 0 at 11.56GB consumption and will be 100% at 13.6GB, meaning no internal write will be rejected when the memory consumption is 11.56GB, some internal writes will be rejected when the memory consumption is between 11.56GB and 13.6GB, and all the writes will be rejected when the memory consumption is at 13.6GB. Note that even though the (internal) writes are rejected, that does not mean that the write request from the client fails completely. As mentioned, a single write request from a client may be translated into multiple internal writes, and only some of these internal writes may be rejected. On rejection, the TServer will retry this internal write with a delay defined by the following code in src/yb/rpc/rpc.cc file: "Number of milliseconds added to delay while using linear backoff strategy."); Meaning, after each write rejection, the write will be retried with a delay value, with the delay value increasing by 1ms on each retry. So the first retry will be retried with a delay of 1ms, the second with a delay of 2ms, the third with 3ms and so on. Due to these delays, the entire write operation originating from the external client will be delayed a bit.

I like to use the pre-made Athens phyllo shells, but if you can't find these you can always make your own with phyllo dough. Bacon: The quickest and easiest option is to buy pre-cooked bacon pieces, but you can also cook up your own bacon strips and then dice them. I like to cook my own bacon in the air fryer as it's quick and easy. Gruyere cheese: This Swiss-style cheese is known for its nutty and savory flavor. It works perfectly in these phyllo cups, but you can also substitute with other cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella. Cream cheese: This adds a creamy texture to the cups, so don’t skip out on it! Green onions: These are optional, but they do add some freshness and color to the cups. Seasonings: I like to keep it simple and use a mix of garlic powder, salt, and pepper to season these cups. Feel free to adjust the seasoning levels to your taste preferences. Now that you have all your ingredients, it's time to get cooking! Here’s how to make the perfect bacon and cheese phyllo cups: Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius). Once preheated, cook the bacon for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy. Step 2: Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and set aside. Step 3: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, green onions, shredded gruyere, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Step 4: Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pre-made phyllo shells. Step 5: Transfer the shells to the air fryer basket and air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) for 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Step 6: Remove the shells from the air fryer and top with bacon pieces and extra green onions. Enjoy! Tips & Tricks For Making Bacon And Cheese Phyllo Cups These cups are so incredibly easy to make and they taste amazing, but here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks to help you get the perfect result: - Make sure to use softened cream cheese; this helps it easily mix with the other ingredients. - Pre-cooked bacon pieces are great for this recipe as they save time, but you can also cook up your own and dice them. - Make sure not to overfill the phyllo shells; otherwise the filling may bubble up and leak out. - Add a few slices of jalapeño or crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick of heat! Serving Suggestions And Substitutions These delicious bacon and cheese phyllo cups are great as an appetizer or snack, but you can also serve them up as a main course. Serve them with a fresh salad or your favorite roasted veggies for a complete meal. You can also try swapping out the bacon for cooked sausage or adding in some cooked mushrooms for an extra flavor boost. This recipe is super versatile, so feel free to get creative with it! If you're looking for another great appetizer, why not try these air fryer brie bites with cranberry sauce instead? You can always swap out the cranberry sauce for a different fruit preserve (such as raspberry or fig) if you prefer. How To Store Leftovers Bacon and cheese phyllo cups are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can also be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. If you're looking to save some time, you can make the filling in advance and chill or freeze it until you're ready to use it. Frequently Asked Questions Yes, you can use any type of cheese you prefer. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss all work great in this recipe. These bacon and gruyere phyllo bites are best served fresh. However, you can make the filling ahead of time and chill it until you're ready to assemble the cups. It should take less than 10 minutes to fill the cups and heat them in the air fryer.

Make sure to cook it until it's extra crispy before adding it in. Tools And Equipment For This Recipe GoWISE USA 7-Quart Electric Air Fryer With Dehydrator: This is a great budget-friendly air fryer.

|08 August 2023 Busting Colorectal Cancer Myths | Episode 1: ‘Detecting the Silent Cancer’ Series 15 March 2023 What are the biggest myths about colorectal cancer? In Episode 1 of our “Detecting the Silent Cancer: Innovative Technologies for Colorectal Cancer Detection” series – presented by the Cancer Stage Shifting Initiative – Dr. Durado Brooks, Associate Chief Medical Officer of Screening at @ExactSciences, unravels facts vs. fiction. Learn more on how you can help #ShiftCancer this #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth (and beyond) at http://www.shiftcancer.org/colon-cancer. 0:32 There are a number of myths about colorectal cancer. 0:35 One of the most prominent is people think, “Well, if nobody in my family had it, I don’t need to worry about it.” The reality is that most cases of colorectal cancer occur in people who don’t have a family history of the disease. 0:48 Another myth is that, “Well, if my bowels are moving okay, if I don’t see any blood when I’m moving my bowels, then I couldn’t have cancer.” Absolutely wrong. Unfortunately, a lot of people wait for symptoms to develop, but by the time colorectal cancer starts to cause symptoms, in many cases it’s started to get larger, and sometimes even to spread. So we don’t want to wait for symptoms to occur. 1:16 Another common myth is that colorectal cancer is a death sentence, and if you get it, you’re going to die, and there’s nothing you can do about it. The reality is we’ve seen a very steady drop in colorectal cancer cases and deaths over more than 20 years in the U.S., and that coincides with when we started seeing more people get screened for colorectal cancer. And that’s no coincidence. Screening works. 1:39 Screening tests like Cologuard and colonoscopy can find cancer early, when we’re able to treat it much more effectively. And also can find some growths called polyps that can turn into cancer, but we can find those with screening tests, and by finding and removing polyps, we keep cancer from occurring. 2:05 African-Americans have some of the highest rates of colorectal cancer in the United States and indeed in the world, and but these higher rates are in both black men and women. The other group that has high disease rates in the U.S. are Native Americans and Alaska natives. Black men and women are also more likely to die from colorectal cancer, and at least part of that is because of failures in the health care system. 2:46 Over the past 20 years or so, we’ve been seeing many more cases of colorectal cancer in younger people, even people as young as their 20s. And this is not just Blacks and not just Men, actually the rates are rising in young people of every race and ethnicity and gender. 3:09 Screening means you get checked when you feel fine, when you’re not having any sort of signs or symptoms of disease but you’ve just reached the age when the disease begins to start showing up. So for colorectal cancer, that’s age 45. So if you’re 45 or older and have not been screened yet, you’re putting yourself at risk. National Minority Quality Forum is a research and educational organization dedicated to ensuring that high-risk racial and ethnic populations and communities receive optimal health care. This nonprofit, nonpartisan organization integrates data and expertise in support of initiatives to eliminate health disparities.

Pokémon Café Chuo City Reviews from The Last Year Go for the experience, don't expect fancy food Videos & Internet Profiles of Pokémon Café Chuo City Other Popular Restaurants in Chuo CityOther Popularity Score ™ Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!! Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse. Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price! Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous! Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks! I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service. Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations! This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10! Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly. Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process. This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again! Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly. So glad I came across this app :) I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again. Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍 Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions! As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before. Got to go to places otherwise unreachable Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York. It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go! 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill! Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation. Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time. Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting. Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

The FCC voted 3-2 along party lines Thursday to change long-standing guidelines related to cable franchising fees. The modifications detrimentally affect one of educational media’s great unsung heroes, Public, Educational and Government access television and radio stations nationwide. At issue for many communities are what may be, to the average consumer, little-known regulations from the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984. That legislation limited what cities can bill cable companies for local access to 5% of gross revenues on cable bills. Cities then use that money to support their local PEG stations. Now the FCC will permit cable providers to deduct in-kind services and equipment from the established cap, potentially reducing their monetary support for PEG outlets. This interpretation is contrary to the wishes of Congress, which clearly intended for only monetary payments to count as fees. Such a change directly targets PEG channels, which now face possible extinction. For cable viewers, the local franchising charge amounts to a few cents up to a dollar of the alphabet soup of items associated with their bills. Yet the fees have brought tremendous benefits to cities and towns, despite their decline as more cable viewers cut the cord. PEG stations supported through the fees have widely been considered a hallmark of media localism. For the elderly, working people, students and everyone, PEG channels have been a window into the intricacies of City Hall, the classroom of a town’s college, and the insightful, creative journalism and storytelling offered on public-access television. PEG has grown up from its portrayal in Wayne’s World. Look no further than BRIC’s incisive documentaries on its Brooklyn community, contextual local weekly news from Virginia PEG TV/radio outlet Arlington Independent Media, or the young filmmakers competition hosted by PEG organization Access Sacramento to witness an educational medium that has matured. When the FCC announced last year that it would reassess regulation of franchising fees, PEG media outlets were quick to spring into action and warn of potential harm to their financial health. The executive director of the Cape Cod Community Media Center noted that “this decision could eliminate government transparency, limit free speech and reduce the public’s access to media channels.” Senate Democrats called the proposal “a lose-lose choice” in an Oct. 29 letter to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai. Despite such protests, the FCC opted for a course that could devastate PEG stations. Al Williams, executive director of Northampton Community Television, told the Daily Hampshire Gazette that Northampton Community Television stands to lose $240,000, more than half its yearly budget. The CEO of CreaTV in San Jose, Calif., has said that the new rules could allow Comcast to end its annual contribution to the PEG station, which amounted to $1.4 million in 2017. “With a total annual budget of just over $2 million, this would decimate our organization,” he wrote. PEG organizations are hunting for new revenue sources. John Masters, executive director of GrassRoots Community Network in Aspen, told the Colorado Sun that his organization is renting equipment. Others are asking their communities for contributions. Just about anyone observing trends in local journalism and media ownership can see the need for better policies across the country to support local information. From civic discussions to cultural exchanges, people require media’s guidance to be more informed about and engaged in our precious democracy. In fact, that principle was at the heart of the aforementioned 1984 act — that community needs must be met when local government and the cable industry form franchise agreements. By airing municipal meetings and candidate forums, PEG stations help to reignite waning interest in local elections. In Goffstown, N.H., Goffstown TV provides local sports, meeting coverage and town news to a community of 11,000 people. On a budget of $110,000 a year, it produces over 450 hours of local content. Goffstown doesn’t exist as a demographic reality in the TV or radio market, and commercial and even noncommercial stations can’t match the specificity of service that the operation provides. Now multiply that success to 1,500 channels across the country. All of these affected cities are at risk because of the FCC order, which treats local communities with contempt. The effects of the FCC’s decision will go beyond PEG stations. The new rules, which will take effect in September, will allow cable companies to assign market values to benefits and charge the amount back to local communities in most cases. Benefits include items such as free cable subscriptions for schools, discounts for the elderly, and perhaps most importantly fiber connectivity to local government buildings such as police departments, fire stations and libraries. The rationale? The Commission’s majority seems to believe in trickle-down economics — that allowing cable companies to charge back fees will increase company profits and lead to more broadband in America. But talk with communities in 23 states that have limited or eliminated fees that communities can charge for the use of their property and support of community channels — states such as Wisconsin and Ohio — and look for a correlation between limiting local power and increasing broadband investment. The only correlation is increased company profits. Indeed, in her dissenting vote on the FCC’s Order, Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel pointed out that there will be no way to enforce company promises that the money they pocket will be invested. She believes that the FCC’s actions, “instead of speeding our way to the digital future, [are] slowing us down, increasing our division and diminishing the dignity of local institutions.” Community channels like Goffstown TV and scores of others are a part of the noncommercial ecosystem in America. We need policies that benefit small local institutions as well as the largest and best-resourced to meet the information needs of all Americans. In this era of news deserts — communities with limited access to credible and comprehensive news and information — and deepening polarization, killing PEG broadcasting is the last thing our country needs. As lawmakers in Washington, Texas, Florida and other states look to exempt their communications from open records requests, PEG stations’ role in broadcasting government meetings is critical. For generations, public broadcasters have stated the case for educational programming, reminding policymakers about the difference media access makes to everyday Americans. The FCC’s move to undercut a crucial educational voice demands our sharpest attention in support of media access and our communities, as legal action is certain to follow.

Man did she ever deliver. Over 2,000 cards were sent by her and over 2,000 happy birthday friends received beautiful cards, myself included. I will tell you I sent more birthday cards last year than I ever have. It felt great, even for a card maker that is terrible about sending cards. I will continue to encourage you like myself, to keep sending those cards. We all know the smile it brings to someone’s face when they receive happy mail. With all of the beautiful birthday stamps available from Stampin’ Up!, it’s easy to create and even better to coordinate the products.

There are lots of apps out there for anxiety – I searched to find five which are grounded in evidence-based practices. General best evidence-based anxiety treatments are exposure based – you’re exposed to the thing that makes you anxious, and over time, your anxiety response decreases. Psychoeducation and relaxation may also be helpful when used in combination with other treatments. Here are five of my favorite apps for anxiety. ReachOut Breathe is a really simple app – it’s main purpose is to help you with slow down and control your breathing. When we feel anxious, our heart rate quickens and our breathing can change; we may take short, shallow breaths. When we slow down our breathing, this can help slow down heart rate and help us recover from the symptoms of stress and anxiety. I really like how simple this app is; if I’m feeling anxious, I can use it for just a few minutes, wherever I am, and it can provide some immediate relief. This is one of the only apps I’ve come across that walks you through the process of exposure therapy. The app encourages you to think of situations which make you anxious, imagining the details of the situation and how you would act, think and feel. You’re encouraged to start with low anxiety situations, progressing to slightly more anxious, to record anxiety levels before and after, and explore what helps your anxiety levels. The app also contains psychoeducation and relaxation exercises. Pacifica has a bunch of different features which you might find helpful – including goal setting, mood tracking, and activities to help you reframe negative thinking. The main thing I like about Pacifica as an anxiety app is it’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) meditation. PMR has been shown to help with the physical symptoms of anxiety – those butterflies in your stomach, for example, or tightness in your muscles. There are also meditations for specific stressful situations, for example school stress or social anxiety. MindShift offers tools to cope with specific types of anxiety – it can be tailored for social fears, worry, panic, test anxiety and performance anxiety. Once you’ve chosen the situation you’d like to tackle, the app walks you through three stage: facts about the anxiety, checking in with yourself to see how much this anxiety is impacting you, and making a plan to deal with the anxiety using various thinking strategies and coping skills. What I really like about this app is that the strategies and skills are very specific to the type of anxiety you’re dealing with, and the app offers practical tips and steps you can take to help you cope. MoodMission can be used for either depression or anxiety, and gives you challenges or “missions” based on how you are feeling. Missions may be physical (e.g. walk up and down the street), thought-based (e.g. coping statements), behavior-based (e.g. learn how to knit, crochet, or sew), or emotion-based (e.g. instant message a friend). For each mission, you can learn why the activities might help decrease your anxiety. Aside from the beautiful interface, I love that missions are mostly quick and easily-achievable, which gives makes me feel accomplished in a short amount of time.

The state House of Representatives wants the sun to shine on deals designed to offer low-income housing to the poor. State Rep. Rickey Hardy's bill to make affiliates of housing authorities subject to the state's public records law won overwhelming support in the House, which voted 97-0 to strip their exemption from the sunshine law. Hardy, who played a key role in helping to expose potential corruption in the Lafayette Housing Authority (the feds continue to investigate, but there is ample evidence of wrongdoing), wants the public to be able to review the deals designed to bring much-needed low-income housing developments to Lafayette. Affiliates of housing authorities are defined as any corporation, entity, partnership, venture, syndicate, or arrangement in which a local housing authority has an ownership or governance interest of less than a majority. For the only such venture complete and operational, St. Antoine Gardens, an independent auditor found that the LHA improperly used as much as $1 million of Section 8 and other funds for repairs, upkeep and an employee's salary. One sentence of the 1997 state law exempts affiliates by virtue of their association with housing authorities, shielding these affiliates' paper trails from public scrutiny: "Affiliates of housing agencies shall not, by virtue of their affiliation with such local housing agencies, become subject to the laws of this state applicable to public agencies and their governing bodies, including but not limited to laws pertaining to public disclosure of records, open meetings, minimum wage rates applicable to government contracts and employees, if any, procurement of goods and services, and laws relating to public employees." Hardy's legislation effectively strips that sentence, making it possible for the public, the taxpayers, to see who is involved in these developments, how the money is being spent, who is profiting from them and whether there are conflicts of interest. For the purposes of the public records law, these affiliates will be considered public bodies. Let's hope the state Senate sees the House's wisdom.

MUMBAI — Thousands of “fireflies” are helping to save the critically endangered great Indian bustard in Jaisalmer, a desert city in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan. More than 1,800 bird diverters — which from a distance look like fireflies — have been installed on the power lines in Jaisalmer, where the majority of the country’s 150 remaining great Indian bustards live. A report by the Ministry of Environment submitted to the National Green Tribunal in 2019 said that adult mortality among the bustards “is still very high due to collisions with power-lines that criss-cross their flypaths.” The report calculated that 15 percent of the bustards may be dying due to the high density of transmission lines in Rajasthan and Gujarat. The diverters look like a string of fireflies on the power lines and work as reflectors for the bustards. Birds can see them from about 164 feet away and can change their flight path to avoid colliding with the power lines. “In 2018, the government of Rajasthan implemented a pilot project of installing bird diverters on a 700-meter stretch,” said Anil Kumar, team leader of the Great Indian Bustard Project that implemented the latest project in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment and India’s Wildlife Conservation Society. “Our project is the first to cover such a large area with bird diverters,” said Kumar. “The firefly bird diverters used are 6 inches long and 4 inches wide and painted with radium colors on both sides. These colors help birds to spot the wires during the night as well.” The Wildlife Conservation Society has installed 1,813 bird diverters on two stretches of 6.5 kilometers (4 miles) between Chacha and Dholiya villages in Pokhran, Rajasthan. The area is opposite the Pokhran Field Firing Range, which offers safe habitat to the breeding population of these birds outside of the Desert National Park Sanctuary in Jaisalmer. The power lines in this stretch cut across the firing range and agriculture fields where the birds are often spotted. Since 2017, six great Indian bustards have died after colliding with power lines. “This is a huge number given the fact that these birds are near extinction,” said Kapil Chandrawal, deputy conservator of forests (wildlife) in Jaisalmer. “Power line collision is the main cause of mortality in these birds. To avoid this, there has been a push to shift the power lines underground, but power companies argue that such a task will involve huge costs, manpower and technology. Therefore, the other option is to make these power lines visible to the birds.” A number of bird diverters were installed by windmill companies in Jaisalmer in 2018. The great Indian bustard (Choriotis nigriceps) is one of the heaviest flying birds in the world. The bustard is listed under Schedule-I of India’s Wildlife Protection Act and as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s red list. The bird has also been identified as one of the species for the recovery program under the Ministry of Environment and forests. Bustards are ground-dwelling birds. They have wide sideways vision to maximize predator detection, but narrow frontal vision. “Because of this, and a habit of scanning the ground while flying, they cannot detect power-lines ahead of them, from far,” states a paper titled ‘Power-line Mitigation to Conserve Bustards’ by the Wildlife Institute of India. “Being heavy fliers, they fail to maneuver across power lines within close distances. A combination of these traits makes them vulnerable to collision with the power lines leading to injuries, trauma or electrocution.” “A 2012 study has shown a 10 percent reduction in bird mortality due to bird diverters, while another 2011 study has shown up to 78 percent reduction in bird mortality,” said Chandrawal. “Bird diverters, therefore, seemed to be a good option.” The bird diverters installed were endorsed by experts from the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Species Survival Commission Bustard Specialist Group. “These type of flapper diverters were found to have the highest reduction in mortality when tested in different environmental conditions compared to the spiral diverters during a study done in Spain,” said Kumar. “We will be closely monitoring the bird diverters and studying their impact on the great Indian bustard population over the coming months,” said Venu Parameshwar, interim country program manager at Wildlife Conservation Society-India. He said that the bird diverters used in this project have been tested with similar low-flying species in western Europe.

Go Green This Year With Recipes to "Green Your Plate" April 2023 Issue By Leslie Rohland Photography by Lucy Rosen On April 22, billions of people throughout the world will celebrate Earth Day—a day where people come together to advance sustainability and climate action—and highlight the need to build a healthier, more sustainable planet. First launched in 1970, Earth Day is the world’s largest environmental movement with so many different ways for people to take action towards a greener, more equitable future for our planet. This year’s Earth Day theme, “Invest in Our Planet”, highlights the importance of what we can do to create change, be a champion for Earth and protect our planet. Whether it’s planting trees, reducing plastic consumption, educating yourself about climate change (and advocating for change), making sustainable choices in clothing, or planning your own Earth Day event/community cleanup/rally, the day is all about showing support for taking care of our planet. Of course, when it comes to going green, one great place to start is eating green! Foods, as well as farming practices, can have a big impact on the environment. There are certain low-impact foods, such as lentils, beans, figs, organic tofu, tomatoes, potatoes, and broccoli, that are known for having a minimal environmental footprint. In addition, buying produce from local farms and incorporating seasonal ingredients into your menus is a great way to support the farmers around your area, enjoy fresh local produce, and do your part in helping the planet. Another great way to eat green is to “green your plate” with healthy green menu items that are as delicious as they are vibrantly green in color. From my easy-to-make Zoodles in a homemade pesto sauce, to bringing together a special combination of good-for-you ingredients for my Hippie Earth Bowl, to a refreshing Cucumber and Heirloom Tomato Salad, these recipes are a great way to celebrate the day, all while reveling in our role in investing in our planet. Plus, there’s no better way to end a healthy “green” meal than with my Mother Fruit Bowl, which is tossed in lemon juice and honey. Cucumber and Heirloom Tomato Salad Serves 4 | Pictured above 2 cups Heirloom tomatoes, diced 2 cups Cucumber, thinly sliced 1 Red onion, small, thinly sliced ½ cup fresh Herbs (basil, parsley, dill, mint, rough chopped) Olive oil, good quality 3 Tbsps White balsamic vinegar ½ tsp Sea salt ½ tsp Ground black pepper Place diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and herbs in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Add sea salt and ground pepper. Toss together and enjoy! HIPPIE EARTH BOWL ¼ cup Hemp seed ¼ cup Chia seed ¼ cup Raisins 1/4 tsp Cinnamon 2 Tbsps Maple syrup 1 tsp Vanilla extract 1½ cups Cashew milk, or other milk of your choice Place the hemp, chia, raisins, cinnamon, and maple syrup in a bowl and mix well. Add milk and stir well, mixing up any clumps of chia seeds. Refrigerate overnight. The chia seeds will plump up, absorbing 9-10 times their weight in liquid! The result will be a bit like a tapioca pudding. Stir well in the morning and add more milk, if desired. Top with sliced bananas and shredded coconut. Peace! 2 medium Zucchinis 1 bunch fresh Basil (about 4 oz.) ¼ cup Olive oil 1 tsp Garlic, fine diced Pinch of Salt Splash of fresh Lemon juice Use any of the following tools to spiralize the zucchinis: tabletop spiralizer; handheld spiralizer; box grater; mandolin; or vegetable peeler (very easy). Set aside. In a food processor, blend basil, olive oil, garlic, salt and lemon juice, until it forms a paste. Gently rub together the “zoodles” and pesto, then “spiral” them into a bowl. Garnish with fresh diced basil. Mother Fruit Bowl ½ cup of each of these fruits, sliced: 1 Tbsp Lemon juice 1 Tbsp Honey Place all the fresh, beautifully sliced fruits in a large bowl, then toss gently with the lemon juice and honey.

NEWBURY PARK, Calif. -- It was a special day for one Ventura County woman who grew up in the foster care system. A local non-profit surprised her with a car of her own. It was a surprise that brought 19-year-old Keanna Carbajal to tears. On Friday, Carbajal thought she was on her way to pick up some gift cards from a non-profit, but instead she was handed keys to a car that she can now call her own. “It feels unbelievable, like surreal,” said Carbajal. “It feels like I am dreaming. My heart is beating so fast and I am shaking.” The Ventura County resident has come a long way since she was first placed in the foster care system at age two. She lived in 32 different homes growing up, but now she’s aged out, and is part of the Homes With Heart Ventura County's Independent Living Program. “When she turned 18-years-old she moved into an apartment which is supervised independently and is navigating this world as an adult,” said Jaci Johnson, who is the Program Coordinator III at the Ventura County Human Services Agency. “She does get a little bit of an assistance, but it is not 100% to sustain herself.” Nearly 200 young adults age out of the foster care system every month in California. One of the biggest barriers for them is transportation. Carbajal knows this first-hand. “I actually just had to let go of a job because it was too much trying to get to and from work,” said Carbajal. “I just ended up letting the job go because I couldn’t handle the stress that it brought with trying to figure out how to get to work.” “She has been Ubering,” said Johnson. “She was spending more money on Ubers than she was earning every week.” A foster care non-profit known as James Storehouse reached out to the community to help Carbajal. Tara Weber and her family stepped up. “My dad gave us the car several years ago for my teenage boys to learn how to drive and to go back and forth to school,” said Weber. “It was time for us to give up the car, and we could either sell it and we decided as a family that we wanted to share the blessing that we were given.” “I actually feel like an adult,” said Carbajal. “You know I have my apartment, and I take care of myself and everything, but I didn’t have a car.” Carbajal says this is a start to a new life. “I am almost there, I am almost to the top,” said Carbajal. “I feel like I am going to be successful.

Cardano poised for breakthrough after major upgrade ADA (Cardano) was one of the few coins to remain stable after the May sell-off. This is due to the upcoming Vasil upgrade, which will allow developers to create more efficient dApps thanks to the optimization of smart contracts. In anticipation of future growth, sharks are actively buying up ADA, which has propped up its price for the past two months. The inclusion of support for smart contracts came as an unpleasant surprise to the community and investors, as expectations ran counter to reality, and a year ago the network experienced significant congestion following the Alonzo update. The release date of new projects has been postponed and the coin's price has dropped from $3 to today's $0.45. But things should pick up after Vasil's major upgrade, which was pushed back from June to September. Developer Charles Hoskinson assured users that he does not anticipate further delays to the Vasil hard fork, despite the scale and complexity of its implementation. Many things will change, from the programming language to the consensus protocol. Hoskinson has promised that this will result in Solana-like performance by the end of 2022. So far, Cardano has very little to boast about: DeFi has locked funds totalling $82m, compared with $1.5bn for Solana. However, the community is still confident in the blockchain, as demonstrated by a recent Cointelegraph survey. For the same reason, Robinhood recently announced the listing of Cardano, and mid-September will see the launch of Aada Finance, a new DeFi platform built on the Cardano blockchain. In addition to the standard lending and borrowing and protocols, Aada will offer its users NFT bonds. Hoskinson is not alone in expecting a significant increase in network usage following the deployment of Vasil. Sharks (10k to 100k ADA) added 79m ADA July and another $138m in the first week of August. If the upgrade goes smoothly and leads to the expected results, Cardano stands a good chance of reversing the long-term downtrend. The hardfork is expected in mid-September.

The main difference between Heredity and Reproduction is that the Heredity is a passing of traits to offspring from its parents or ancestor and Reproduction is a the production of new individuals that contain some portion of genetic material inherited from one or more parent organisms. Heredity is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents. Through heredity, variations between individuals can accumulate and cause species to evolve by natural selection. The study of heredity in biology is genetics. Reproduction (or procreation or breeding) is the biological process by which new individual organisms – “offspring” – are produced from their “parents”. Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction. There are two forms of reproduction: asexual and sexual. In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism. Asexual reproduction is not limited to single-celled organisms. The cloning of an organism is a form of asexual reproduction. By asexual reproduction, an organism creates a genetically similar or identical copy of itself. The evolution of sexual reproduction is a major puzzle for biologists. The two-fold cost of sexual reproduction is that only 50% of organisms reproduce and organisms only pass on 50% of their genes. Sexual reproduction typically requires the sexual interaction of two specialized organisms, called gametes, which contain half the number of chromosomes of normal cells and are created by meiosis, with typically a male fertilizing a female of the same species to create a fertilized zygote. This produces offspring organisms whose genetic characteristics are derived from those of the two parental organisms. Hereditary transmission of the physical and genetic qualities of parents to their offspring; the biological law by which living beings tend to repeat their characteristics in their descendants. The act of reproducing new individuals biologically. The act of making copies. “Unauthorized reproduction of this article is prohibited.” A copy of something, as in a piece of art; a duplicate. “Jim was proud of the w|Rembrandt reproduction he owned.”

When trying to log in, Discord sends a verification code to the registered mobile number of the user. However, for some users, the code is not getting sent due to which, they are unable to use their accounts. In this post, we will teach how to resolve this issue and see what to do when Discord is unable to send SMS verification. Why won t Discord let me verify? If you are unable to verify in Discord, do check the registered mobile number as well as the country code. You can pretty easily, change the phone number and set the correct country code in Discord. Sometimes, Discord does send the verification message, but since the end-user has installed apps that filter messages, it is very likely that your verification code was filtered. Hereinafter, we have mentioned every single solution and workaround that you need to resolve the issue. Fix Discord unable to send SMS verification If Discord is unable to send SMS verification, follow the solutions mentioned below. - Check your country code - Fix your Internet Connection - Delete any app that blocks messages - Make sure that Discord and your carrier’s servers are up - Download and use Backup Codes Let us talk about them in detail. 1] Check your country code First of all, we need to check the country code. You need to make sure that the country code should be set to where your number is actually registered. Finally, check if the issue is resolved. 2] Fix your Internet Connection You need to make sure that your Internet Connection is not slow. In order to check that, you can use any of the free Internet Speed testers. In case, the bandwidth is low, you can reboot your router, just power cycle it. For that, you have to close the device, unplug all the cables, wait for a few minutes, plug all the cables back in, and then turn the router back on. If restarting is to no avail, contact your ISP and ask them to resolve the issue. Hopefully, this will do the job for you. 3] Delete any app that blocks messages It is possible that Discord is sending a message to your number but you didn’t receive it due to some security application installed on your system or if you have configured your messaging app. So, if there are some apps that filter your messages, such as Truecaller, delete them from your system. Or if you have configured the Messages apps to block unwanted messages, it is likely that it considers Roblox messages as spam and is blocking them, in that case, you need to revert it back to default. You can also just go to the Spam section and check if the verification is there. 4] Make sure that Discord and your carrier’s servers are up Next up, we need to ensure that there is nothing wrong with Discord’s server and with that of your carrier. You can use some of the free down detectors to know if the servers are down. And if they are down, there is nothing you can do other than wait for the issue to be resolved. 5] Download and use backup codes There are backup codes that you can download for Discord from the app itself and use during the authentication process. Do keep in mind that, you must be logged in to a device for this to work.

Since practicing RPM as a professional, I have started making connections in the education, social services, and professional autism fields. I quickly learned that Rapid Prompting Method (RPM) is considered “controversial” to many, but not everyone, in these fields. This label puts a wall up between people who should be working together to improve the lives of the people we all want to help. It has been said in the Bible, as well as quoted by Abraham Lincoln, that a house divided cannot stand. By addressing this controversy, I hope to build bridges that will help parents, professionals, and the individual with a disability work together as a true and unified team. Many people do not understand what RPM is. RPM is an EDUCATIONAL method that can lead to communication. It is not in and of itself a communication method. What do I mean by this? It is not the equivalent of other communication methods that are commonly taught to people with autism. These include speech, sign language, and picture exchange communication system (PECS). My son Philip who is now 14 and remains mostly unable to speak, was taught speech and PECS for many years. He was able to learn to request objects and basic needs like chips, milk, potty, outside, and break. To see Philip achieve these feats at age 4 was wonderful and exciting, but he could not manage to go beyond requesting and meeting basic needs through speech and picture exchange. From age 4 to 9 (9 was the age we started RPM), it was not obvious to us that Philip was making more than miniscule progress. The yearly IEP had only slight variations of the goals the year before- 1:1 correspondence of numbers 1-5, identifying 5 sight words, matching upper to lower case letters, identifying and requesting 5 new items. There had to be more to life than this. Enter RPM. On the advice of a mother in my autism support group and a giant leap of faith, my husband and I took Philip on a trip to Austin, Texas, to enroll in a 4 day camp to learn RPM from its creator, Soma Mukhopadhyay. It is not an overstatement to say it completely changed our lives. Watching Soma work with Philip was like nothing we had witnessed before. She talked to Philip calmly and intelligently as she taught him about the water cycle, the first Thanksgiving, stories by Aesop, and 2-digit addition and subtraction. She conveyed a confidence in our son’s abilities that was not forced by excess praise or exaggerated expression. It was genuine. And our son responded positively, showing he could choose correctly from her choices about what she had taught. He even spelled some answers that week. We had no idea he knew more than what a letter looked like, let alone that it made certain sounds that when put together make words. When we got home, the job was for me to do RPM with Philip. This took me a long time to learn, which I did through reading Soma’s books, an online support group, lots of practice, and trial and error. Needless to say, I was not good at it when I started. In fact, there were times I wanted to throw in the towel. But I stuck with it, because deep down, I knew this method made sense. I knew the set-up of me learning to do RPM was better than the other therapies that required me to just drop off Philip for a half hour for his weekly session. This was going to be a complete lifestyle change for our family. It was not a quick fix. Nothing ever is. I have learned a lot through my experiences working with my son, eventually training and becoming certified in RPM, and now working with a variety of students. I want to clear up this notion of “controversy” so that other parents and professionals are not afraid to try it. Forgive me for taking a tangent into my own story. Let me get back to my point about RPM being an educational method. RPM presumes anyone can LEARN! Not everyone will start at the same point, but everyone can be taught new things. Learning will not look the same as learning in a neurotypical person. Take Helen Keller for example. She could not learn by using her eyes or ears. She had to use the sense that was available to her: touch. Through Anne Sullivan’s teaching in a way that was uniquely suitable to Helen Keller, she was able to join society. And from there on, her progress spiraled upward. She learned braille, graduated college, wrote books, and even learned to speak! Think about how impossible that should have been for someone both blind and deaf! RPM has done similar for many people with autism and related disabilities around the world. At one point, I thought I would never know what Philip truly felt. Now he can tell me through pointing to letters to spell his thoughts. I do not take for granted that this is a miracle to me. RPM takes into account a neuro-atypical way of processing the world. With over 100 billion neurons in just our brains alone (not including peripheral neurons), our nervous system is our most complex organ system, affecting our senses, movement, thinking, memory, emotion, stress, and so much more. Because I am not autistic myself, I will never fully understand how an autistic person learns, but I will try my best to teach to how each child learns best and not to a neurotypical standard or my personal preference. According to Soma Mukhopadhyay, every RPM lesson has 4 objectives: cognitive, skill, tolerance, and communication. This is how I have come to understand it. In order to communicate, we must learn to coordinate 3 things all at once. First, we need something to talk about. This is our cognitive objective. The more we can learn about the world, through academics and sharing stories and ideas, the more we can think intelligently and have something to communicate about. When we repeat the same simple lessons day after day and year after year, we only have very limited things to think and talk about. But all this thinking will remain locked in the mind if we don’t teach the skill of showing what we know. The skill objective focuses on literacy and the motor skills required for the output of thought. Right from the beginning, a short piece of information is taught (cognitive objective) and a question is asked about that information through written choices (literacy-reading) and choosing (motor skill- pointing). Just as Hellen Keller did not stop learning skills after learning to write in her teacher’s hand, students using RPM can continue to learn skills beyond pointing to spell on a letterboard. They can learn to type, handwrite, develop hobbies, and in some cases, even speak. The third objective is tolerance. I like to call this “learning to be present.” Recently I was caught daydreaming through a cocktail conversation among physicians at a dinner party discussing a new surgical procedure. Because I wasn’t interested and I wasn’t clued in to the conversation, I was caught off guard when someone asked me a question after what seemed like an hour of droning on. I use this example to help put ourselves in our student’s shoes when we teach them. Prompts are simply ways we can clue our kids in to actively engaging with us to listen and respond. Especially in the beginning, we ought to have interesting lessons that our kids can relate to. We should have back and forth participation, keeping our teaching points short before asking a question. We should allow students to be as comfortable as possible so they can participate to their best ability. For some, that means allowing kids to move. For others, it is allowing a child to watch his favorite video while working. From my experience, these accommodations can eventually be reduced and then not needed at all. When you have the cognitive, skill, and tolerance components clicking in synchrony, that’s when open communication can start to emerge. As the parent or teacher doing the RPM, we must remember our responsibility is TEACHING. That means the burden is on us to help the child learn. We should not put the burden on the child to get it right. That is called TESTING. Testing can lead to anxiety that is another barrier to learning. When our child or student does not answer in the way we expected, we must figure out where the breakdown was. Maybe we reteach the cognitive objective. We may have to coach them to point more accurately when spelling known responses. Or maybe we must clue the child in from distractions by enhancing the lesson with different sensory components like drawing a diagram or singing. Can communication only happen in the context of an RPM lesson? No, but learning to communicate can be a long process of learning to coordinate thoughts, skill, and tolerance. Communication most easily flows from an RPM lesson, where the person can relate the subject to his internal thoughts and how it relates to life. After much practice a person can become successful communicating without RPM. When you see a person typing or pointing on a letterboard to converse, this is no longer RPM, but a product of a lot of RPM practice to get there! While the goal is to achieve as much independence as possible, the process of getting there must be enjoyed and valued more highly than the destination. I take inspiration from Helen Keller’s life. She said, “I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.” And also, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” RPM has not cured my son’s autism or given him full independence, but it has unlocked his potential to do the things he can do, given him a way to be included in the world, and provided him a voice to be known and to truly express himself. There should be no controversy in a transformed life.

Silica dust is common in worksites, can scar the lungs and cause cancer. Symptoms sometimes don’t appear for 10 years. The source of silica dust is the element silicon, which is common in quartz and other rocks. The rocks themselves aren’t a danger, but when crunched into dust, scarred lungs and cancer can result from silicosis. Workers sandblasting, tunneling, or using concrete or mortar are at risk. Silicosis may take up to 10 years to show symptoms of chronic coughing and other breathing issues. There is no cure. Protect workers from silica dust with industrial hygiene planning, appropriate PPE, and by using other materials, if available. Scroll to the bottom to see an OSHA video on silica dust dangers. intro music and effects Dan Clark: DUST IN THE WIND isn’t just a song from the 70s. It’s a present threat to worker safety. I’m talking about silica dust. Hello, I’m Dan Clark of The Safety Brief. This is where we talk about health and safety hazards in today’s demanding industrial and construction worksites. Improve industrial hygiene and keep your crews safe. Learn about the hazards of silica dust. Why is silicate dust dangerous compared to other dust? Silica dust comes from silicon—quartz, mica, feldspar and other rocks. These rocks are not a danger until they’re ground into dust and create silica. This common dust can scar the lungs and cause cancer, but the symptoms sometimes don’t appear for as long as 10 years. The damage slowly sneaks up, long after a worker has left the dusty worksite. Heavy exposure can cause acute and chronic symptoms to appear even faster. The condition it creates is called silicosis, and there’s no known cure. Exposed workers end up developing coughing, hampered breathing, chest pains, fatigue and fever. Why is silica dust overlooked? A few reasons: - The impact on health isn’t felt right away. - It looks like most other dust at a worksite. - Exposure isn’t regulated in most states, although OSHA is working to change that and has begun a program to educate people about the problem. - Also, it’s not a combustible dust which gets much more attention because of the dangers of possible explosions. What type of work has the largest concentrations of silica dust? 1. Working with building materials that contain silica, like stone, brick and concrete. Crushing, drilling and cutting these things spews off a fog of silica dust. 3. Tunnel building where the Earth is massively disturbed. 4. Moving or mixing powders, such as concrete and mortar. What can workplaces do to improve industrial hygiene and protect employees? 1. Make a plan before beginning a job that notes which materials could expose people to silica dust. 2. Pick PPE—the right PPE—which could include face masks or respirators, depending on the amount of dust present. 3. Opt for materials less likely to create silica dust: crushed glass, instead of gravel (where available and appropriate) and precut stone, such as countertops so workers don’t need to cut the materials on-site. That is all for this episode. Come back for more tips and techniques on how to stay safety compliant in today’s ever-changing landscape of safety requirements.

Many states now offer an online lottery. While many of these websites have primarily the same utility as their brick and mortar counterparts – seeing winning numbers and locations and collecting tickets – the online lottery is becoming more sophisticated. Online lottery sites are also increasingly offering Instant Games, which are casino-style games that you can play right on your computer or mobile device. While this may not appeal to every player, there are many benefits to playing online. Here are some of them: Licensed online lottery websites use geolocation technology to detect out-of-state purchases. While most states have approved online lottery sales, some are hesitant to do so, fearing a rise in fraud and increased risk of lottery ticket sales to minors. And because states stand to lose out on tax revenue from lottery ticket sales, they have been wary of the move. Minnesota, for example, was one of the first states to offer online sales of lottery games, though it later pulled the game from the web due to security concerns. Many of the top betting sites offer the chance to win huge sums of money by playing fewer numbers. While these payouts are still generous, they may not be for everyone. Many players find the low odds to be a deterrent. While the odds of winning are often daunting, leading betting sites provide the chance to win huge amounts of money by playing fewer numbers. These options make online lottery play easier and more convenient for legal residents. However, you can also find scam-free lottery sites that offer safe and secure online lottery play. In addition to the convenience of playing Result SGP, many online lottery sites also offer subscription services that allow players to purchase tickets on a regular basis. Subscription services enable users to pick games and tickets they want to participate in on a regular basis. Once purchased, the online lottery will notify you via email, SMS, direct deposit, or even in person. Many online lottery sites also offer extensive FAQ sections to answer your questions. A few online lottery sites even offer help chat, which can provide more information about the lottery. Online lottery games are more convenient than ever. The biggest advantage to joining an official lottery is its legality and safety. However, the downside of joining an online lottery is the lack of competition in this sector. You’re unlikely to get a generous bonus or promotion unless you join a major lottery. Furthermore, you can’t transfer your winnings to another lottery if you want to cash out. If you do play online lottery games, be sure to use legitimate websites. The ease of online lottery games is another great benefit. Unlike the traditional lottery, online lottery players can buy tickets directly from the state lottery website. Many sites also offer multiple lottery games. By logging in, players can also check the results and previous results, or subscribe to multiple games and receive the results by email. Then, they can also enjoy a variety of free tools, tips, and promotions. They’re also easier to purchase online than in the traditional lottery, and many of them offer instant results.

September 8 is UNESCO’s International Literacy Day. One overlooked aspect of literacy limitations is its impact on voting. Those who cannot read or who only read in non-majority languages are often disenfranchised from election processes that cater only to those who read and write the majority language of a country. Fortunately, new voting technology is helping to alleviate this problem and make elections more inclusive. Literacy rates worldwide have continually risen in recent history. The global literacy rate for people over age 15 is 86.3%. Moreover, the average literacy rate across developed nations is 99.2%. Unfortunately, there are still 750 million illiterate adults around the world, two-thirds of whom are women. According to UNESCO (2018), “literacy challenges persist, distributed unevenly across countries and populations. Embracing linguistic diversity is central to addressing these challenges and achieving sustainable development.” UNESCO’s 2019 theme, Literacy and Multilingualism, dovetails nicely with the celebration of the International Year of Indigenous Languages. Today’s election technology can support the participation of multicultural communities in the election process. Why is it relevant? People mostly understand literacy as a function of education. But it goes beyond reading and writing. The International Literacy Association (ILA) defines it as the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, compute, and communicate using visual, audible and digital materials across disciplines and in any context. Similarly, enabling multilingual options in digital democracies is closely linked to the progress of inclusive societies. Here there are five ways in which election management systems and electronic voting support literacy and multilingualism during the voting process. - Election systems designers and developers are leveraging machine learning and other AI technologies to make voting more accessible to voters with differing language needs such as indigenous communities or illiterate electors. - Electronic voting systems offer a human-centered voting experience including multilingual interfaces on a single device and secure and convenient options for everyone, regardless of their (digital) literacy rate. - Election technologies−including e-voting−have successfully reduced barriers to participation in countries with significant aboriginal communities, such as Canada, Australia, the Philippines, Brazil, Chile, and Ecuador. - Technology can support election management bodies meet the challenges of “decoding digital literacy,” helping voters understand and apply digital information during voting. - The election technology industry has recognized the value of supporting STEM education and basic computer coding, particularly for girls. Doing so supports the development of a diverse future workforce.

If you are a person who prioritizes precision over everything else, you might consider buying a quartz watch. However, the market for quartz watches is very large. So, it is easy to get confused with the brands releasing new models every year. Hence, you might ask about who makes the most accurate quartz watch. In 2019, Citizen announced a new model Citizen Caliber 0100. This watch is said to be the most accurate quartz watch now. We have a related article for you, you can read Top 15 Best Quartz Dive Watches In 2023. Let us see why this watch is the most accurate smartwatch. That’s how you can easily understand why citizens claimed such. Table of Contents Who Makes the Most Accurate Quartz Watch? Quartz watches are by default more accurate than mechanical watches. However, the accuracy of quartz watches differs due to the types of crystals used and various mechanisms. Manufacturers of Quartz Watches i) Seiko: They are the ones who first started producing quartz watches. They also have a sister concern, Grand Seiko, which produces some of the most luxurious and precise quartz watches on the market. ii) Citizen: Citizen stepped into the watchmaking industry in 1918. They are one of the leading brands that make quartz watches. They have a huge lineup comprising sleek and accurate quartz watches. iii) Casio: Casio is probably the most well-known quartz watch producing brand. Their G-shock lineup is one of the cheapest and most used watches in the market. iv) Omega: Omega has produced luxury watches for a long time. They have beautiful quartz watches. Additionally, these watches are quite precise in telling time. v) Breitling: Founded in 1884, Breitling has been one of the most prominent watchmaking brands in the world. Their quartz watches are accurate as well as aesthetically pleasing. vi) Mondaine: The swiss brand Mondaine has been in the watchmaking industry for a long time. Their quartz watches are some of the most precise and beautiful ones on the market. vii) Longines: Longines provides a wide variety of quartz watches at a lot of different price points. They are not as luxurious as their competitors. But, they make some of the most precise quartz watches present on the market. Quartz watch Models Bulova Precisionist: This is the most accurate model provided by Bulova. They also have a sweeping dial, which is uncommon in quartz watches. Breitling Superquartz: This model by Breitling is quite well known to people for its accuracy. They lose/gain 15 seconds in a year. Longines VHP: The term VHP means Very High Precision. The Longines VHP models have an outstanding accuracy of 5 seconds in a year. Omega Spacemaster Z-33: Having a precision of 10 seconds per year, the Omega Spacemaster Z-33 watches are arguably one of the most accurate models on the market. These also have a very unique design which attracts many people. Grand Seiko 9F Series: This model has an incredible precision of 10 seconds per year. However, this watch is also very well built with superior materials. Citizen Caliber 0100: This is an outstanding watch only differing by 3 seconds per year. Not a single watch comes even close to it. This is also a very sleek watch. It is the most accurate watch on the market right now. Which Quartz Watch is the Most Accurate? Citizen Caliber 0100 is a watch that is five times more precise than its closest competitor Grand Seiko. The main reason for this is the use of top-of-the-line materials and complicated engineering. Why Does Citizen Have the Most Accurate Quartz Watch? That’s because this watch follows the basic mechanism of quartz watches. However, there are some huge modifications that make it the most accurate watch of all time. Firstly, this watch is run by sunlight while most quartz watches are powered by a battery. Thanks to Citizen’s Eco-drive technology, it can also generate power in areas with dim lighting. Normal quartz crystals vibrate about 32,768 times per second. On the other hand, the crystal used in this model oscillates around 8.4 million times in a second. This huge difference in frequency allows Citizen Caliber 0100 to give more precise time than others. Also, these watches have an internal shock-absorbing system. In case the watch falls to the ground or faces any type of impact, the watch will freeze the hands. After 1/1000 second, they release the hands. This ensures that the hands do not get displaced. Along with that, Citizen have also taken into account the changes due to temperature. Both the circuit and quartz crystal are designed in such a way that they can minimize the effects of temperature change. Additionally, an anti-backlash system is in place to prevent any types of misalignment of the dials. Here is a related article that might interest you on Do Quartz Watches Need Winding? From this article, it already should be evident who makes the most accurate quartz watch. We think we were able to answer the question clearly in this article. The accuracy of quartz watches does not depend on the quartz crystal only. Citizen has put a lot of research as well as money into making the most precise quartz watch. If you need the most accurate quartz watch, you now know who makes it. In case you own one, you know why it is the most accurate quartz watch.

Palm Beach Kennel Club is no stranger to major tournament events, having hosted the only World Series of Poker Circuit stops in Florida, and now hosting two of them a year. Come December, the venue will host the third Ante Up Poker Tour series in Florida in two months. “The World Series of Poker Circuit events have taught us many things and, along with our own experiences, we have learned to create a good mixture of chip stacks and structures for a truly competitive tournament,” said Tim Wright, poker room manager at Palm Beach Kennel Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. The Ante Up Poker Tour event will run Dec. 11-14 and feature three official events and two others, capped by $575 buy-in main event with three starting flights and a $100K guarantee. The winner also will appear on the cover of the February issue of Ante Up, get a $1,650 seat in the 2015 Ante Up World Championship Main Event at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in California and a personalized tour champion’s jacket. “We have always been a leader in the guaranteed tournament business and any big event like the Ante Up series should include one,” Wright said. The rest of the schedule includes a $135 no-limit event, two nightly $135 no-limit tournaments and a $30 buy-in event with $20 rebuys that features a $10K guarantee. “We have been running this $10K guaranteed tournament every Friday night for several years,” Wright said. “It is so popular we often include it in tournament series for continuity. The prize pool often exceeds the $10K.” When not playing tournaments, players have a wide variety of cash games to choose from, including $1-$2 and $2-$5 no-limit hold’em, $2-$2 and $2-4 limit hold’em, $2-$5 pot-limit Omaha/8 and $1-$3 stud. Another unique offering is “Florida style” $5-$10 no-limit with a $100-$300 buy-in, which harkens back to when Florida law allowed for only a $100 max buy-in. These days, players may buy in for any amount they desire and players wishing to play as big as a $5K buy-in are encouraged to contact high-limit host Willie Melia at (561) 312-0728. All of this plays out in the 63-table South Florida poker room, which recently completed an extensive renovation that resulted in a fresh, more modern decor and included new carpet, chairs, rails, layouts, paint, wallpaper and three new big-screen televisions, as well sleek wood finishing and accents. “Since opening the poker room in 1997, we have had the great distinction of being one of the busiest, largest and most popular poker rooms in the state of Florida,” Palm Beach Kennel Club VP Joe Rooney said. “This renovation reinforces our commitment to our poker room operations and the players who enjoy the games here.” The venue also offers live greyhound racing and simulcast wagering, four restaurants, including the recently renovated Paddock Club that boasts an impressive fine wine list and striking views of the greyhound oval, and several concession areas. And, of course, there are few nicer places to visit during winter than the West Palm Beach area, just north of Ft. Lauderdale and Miami metro areas. “Come explore the beaches and experience for yourself what so many loyal visitors have already discovered to be the best way to experience Florida,” Wright said. “Enjoy a fascinating array of cultural venues, sample the culinary masterworks of celebrity chef-owned restaurants, take in one of dozens of internationally renowned destination events or fish or dive in the Gulfstream-warmed waters of the Atlantic Ocean.” For more details, including the schedule, visit Ante Up’s Palm Beach Kennel Club webpage.

I came home Friday night and Jon’s like “Sandra, our computer won’t boot up again”. I got all freaked out, because where would I be without my computer??? Besides, all my photos, files, letters were on the machine and I hadn’t made burned copies from all of them. We first got something to eat, watched the Kings vs. Portland Trail Blazers (they won 119:115 :) YES!) and then I tried to figure out how to repair the computer. The screen said that a registry file was missing and that we could attempt to repair it with the original windows CD. Since a friend of Jon’s had put Windows on our computer, I didn’t even know if we had the right CD, but I found one labeled Windows XP and put it in the CD drive and then ran a Diskcheck over night… and sure enough, I – the computer genius- had fixed the computer and I was able to boot up the next morning! I was so relieved :) I went running (which really made me feel even better) and then chatted with my Cousin for a little bit (he let me watch over his web cam how he and his friend were watching “The Ring 2” *lol*) and then I watched “The Yellow Submarine” with Jon. A very curious movie, I must say ;) Later we got ready to go to Davis. We were invited for dinner by our old neighbor from Ivy Towne Apartments, Scott. He’s in his early 40’s and lives with his 16-year-old son and a lesbian couple in a house in Davis now. I think that’s just awesome! In Germany there would never be housing arrangements like that! He made his famous Tacos for us and self-made tortilla chips which were delicious. We really had a great time! We brought some French apple pie for dessert and we watched “High Fidelity” later… a really cool movie with John Cusack. Sunday we got up at 10:30 am and Jon was starving, so we went to Bakers Square for Breakfast. I thought we would make it back in time for Sanni’s call at 11:30 am, but unfortunately we didn’t. It turned out later that our phone was unplugged and nobody could reach us anyways. Great :( how did that happen?? I apologize for any inconvenience I caused for anyone who wanted to call us that day! I had a little chat with my cousin and he was so cute. He’s 14 now and he’s like a little brother to me and right now it’s seems like I can really reach him and get on one level with him… he tells me a lot of stuff and even told me that weekend that he wished I was his sister *sigh* isn’t that cute? I was so touched by this. I love him to death and it really means a lot to me to be so close to him. Which 14-year-old would call his 29-ear-old cousin his “sister”? *lol* :) We watched the Kings vs. LA Lakers at noon and they won again :) (124:105) it was an awesome game! It’s just so much fun to have a lazy Sunday afternoon with a NBA game on TV :) I went shopping afterward and missed another call of my dear friends.. Cathy (I am so sorry!) I made a really nice Sirloin Tip Roast for dinner with tiny Dutch Yellow potatoes and peas and carrots. It was delicious. I should try more recipes more often! And now it’s Monday again. I hope you guys had a good weekend, too. I didn’t worry too much about the tax stuff, because I was supposed to get a call from the Temp Agency today, but of course they haven’t called yet and it’s almost 5 pm. Terrific :( I’ll give them a call tomorrow morning again… yeah, it’s ONLY the 11th today… no need to worry. *haha* :( So, have a good start into the new week…

Yankelovich has a new study out related to the “green” issue. Here is how they pitch it: A quick search on Nexis for keyword “green” returns more than 3,000 results. Perhaps no industry feels the effects of “Green-mania” more than food and beverage. The organic food movement has spawned a $23 billion industry that includes everything from gallons of milk to bags of potato chips. Tabloids abound with photos of celebrities frequenting the new shopping hotspot: Whole Foods markets. Given this unwavering focus by the media, government and business, consumers must be “going green” in droves, right? WRONG. According to a new Yankelovich study, while consumers are highly aware of environmental issues, “going green” in their everyday life is simply not a big concern or high priority. The press release goes on to explain: Despite unwavering focus by the media, government and business, “going green” is only of moderate concern to most consumers, according to Yankelovich research. Yankelovich’s survey of 2,763 consumers and their environmental attitudes, GOING Green, released today, found that only one-third (34%) of consumers feel much more concerned about environmental issues today than a year ago. And less than one-quarter (22%) of consumers feel they can make a difference when it comes to the environment. GOING Green, conducted in collaboration with Getty Images, is the first study of its kind to examine how much consumers truly care about green issues. “Consumers are not drinking the Kool-Aid when it comes to green,” said J. Walker Smith, president of Yankelovich. “While they’re highly aware of environmental issues due to the glut of media attention, the simple fact is that “going green” in their everyday life is simply not a big concern or a high priority.” Take Al Gore’s book, An Inconvenient Truth. Even though it received widespread acclaim from media and scientists alike, 82% of consumers neither saw the film nor read it. In addition, Mr. Smith asserts that consumers are far more knowledgeable about green than they’re generally given credit for. For example, Al Gore’s “10 Myths” in An Inconvenient Truth are not considered myths by consumers at all. According to the GOING Green Survey: only 7% of consumers believe Gore’s “Myth” that it’s already too late to do something about climate change; only 4% believe global warming is a good thing, and only 8% agree that the warming that scientists are recording is just the effect of cities trapping heat rather than anything to do with greenhouse gases.” Now here is where it gets interesting. One might think that when confronted with research showing that something is not a big motivator for consumers, one would advise companies to press other buttons in order to sell their products. That is not where Yankelovich comes out. First they point out the niche opportunity: Despite most consumers’ lukewarm attitudes about “going green,” Smith says that companies can — and should — exploit the “greenness” of their products. Why? First, while the environment is not a mainstream consumer concern, it does represent a niche opportunity in the marketplace, with just over 30 million Americans (13% of the 234 million people 16+) “strongly concerned” about it. Then, they basically say to use marketing in an attempt to make a virtue out of a necessity: Second — and equally important — if organizations are required to meet strict federal and state environmental regulations — often at huge expense — it makes sense to try and leverage the ‘new and improved’ green product to consumers. The “good news” is that consumer attitudes can be changed: The good news for companies is that while the majority of consumers’ attitudes towards the environment may be only of moderate concern, it is possible to change consumers’ behavior so that the green attributes of a product become a key feature in the buying decision. “Where companies are currently falling short with their green marketing strategy is that they’re failing to establish a personal connection with the consumer, in other words, consumers currently have no knowledge of what green means or has to offer to them,” added Smith. The Yankelovich Marketing Action Framework below illustrates the degree to which all consumers — from “Green-less” to “Green-Enthusiasts” — are currently likely to buy a product based on its green features. “To make a green marketing strategy successful, organizations must employ behavioral tactics that move consumers up the continuum to greater levels of ‘green-ness’,” said Smith. “Marketers who focus on these segments in isolation will not change consumers’ green behavior.” It is astonishing advice. At no point does Yankelovich make a substantive point that consumer concern over “green” issues is inadequate for the threat faced. The company seems to propose that regardless of the reality or unreality of consumer perception, marketers should induce concern — panic would be even more effective — so that consumers can be brought “up the continuum” from ‘Green-less’ to ‘Green-thusiasts’. Why should marketers do this? Well, once consumers are panicked, they will buy a lot of “green” products and vendors can make a lot of money. It is attitudes like this — saying anything legal to sell the product — that gives business and businesspeople a bad name.

Is there such a thing as controlled chaos? I was sitting here tonight thinking back over the last 6 months and I broke out in a complete hysterical laugh. I quickly had flashbacks of our truck breaking down during the move across country. Then toilets not working, potty breaks at Target, running out of carpet and paint at the worst times. Then we ran out of tile in our sun room (6 pieces to be exact!). We can't forget about my car not working not once but twice. The last 6 months has been pure chaos. I can't make this stuff up. Really!! Believe it or not I wouldn't change any of these events except the current one with Russ. It's always been controlled chaos up until recently. We've learned so much over the last 6 months. First, we are resilient and we can be without a working toilet for 4 days before I blow a gasket. Every single thing that's happened we have learned something from. That's how life works, right? Each crazy event that has taken place we have laughed over. I think had we not we would have a different state of mind today. Staying positive and looking for the good that has come out of each one has made us stronger and hopeful. Many times as human beings we want to hurry and not think of the past year. Or we hear, "I can't wait until this year is over!" Honestly, 2013 was a great year. You probably think I'm off my rocker now for even thinking this…. however I look at all that we've learned and how many blessings came out of this year. I can't say it was a bad year. For example: - My kids accepted Jesus into their hearts - My Prince is alive and getting stronger each day. He is now a Princess. - We are living near my family- oh thank you Lord! - We have rebuilt a beautiful home despite the many obstacles - We have made more friends this year - My kids handled a crisis better than I would ever imagine - We are healthy and happy and laugh a lot - We learned how to pee in a pot while our toilets didn't work - I learned how to care for a saltwater tank and not kill any fish. - We learned together that what we thought was SO important is really not. That together we can overcome anything. These are just a few. I'm sure I could name many more great things. Looking forward into 2014 our little family has hopes for less chaos and even more happiness. We will strive to do our best in 2014 and make this year a year of being stronger as a family and closer to God. We plan to laugh even more and make each day memorable. The most important thing I believe we all learned this past year is life is short. Enjoy every single minute because it can change in an INSTANT! Going forward with my business I know great things are coming. I love being creative and sharing. I know I will gradually have time. In fact I was in my stamp room yesterday creating. It felt so great. I can't wait to share amazing things with you this year. I am so thankful for your patience while I figure it all out. Most of all we are so thankful for your continued prayers for our family as Russ progresses. Each day brings something great and new. He is amazing. Before I go I want to share a project with you I made the day before Russ had his stroke. I was collaborating with another demonstrator Monica Weaver who sells metal sheets that you can craft with. They are amazing to work with and I've never seen anything like them. I loved *loved* creating with them. Of course our plan didn't quite work out that day but regardless, I had made something I was really proud of. I thought I would share and just know I have more coming soon. From my entire family we are wishing you an amazing NEW year in 2014.

PorJor 1 Inspection? And what should be inspected? Por Jor 1 inspection, Many people may wonder why they need to be inspected and how important it is. Can not to inspect? And if must to do, what must be inspected? Por Jor is actually crane, a machine used for lifting objects. Lift things up and down vertically and move the suspension horizontally. Before we go to looking for Por Jor 1 inspecting, why should it be inspected and what should be checked? Everyone need to be understood what Por Jor 1 is. Por Jor 1 is ? - Por Jor. Standing for Crane. You may knew about Por Jor 1 and Por Jor 2 as well. There are names of cranes types. So, 2 types of cranes as follows: Type 1 or Por Jor. 1 - is stationary type crane. It consists of control device and self-power supply. Por Jor 1 was mounted on the tower. Stands or may be mounted on casters such as stationary cranes or overhead cranes, freight elevators, tower cranes, hoists etc. Type 2 or Por Jor. 2 Is a mobile crane. Consists of control device and self-power supply. Por Jor. 2 was mounted on vehicle that can be driven, such as a mobile crane, skip truck, boat crane etc. - Why should to check crane, The matter of ministerial regulations have established standards for safety management Occupational Health and Work Environment About machinery, cranes and boilers, the latest new law of 2021, cranes must be in suitable condition and prescribed to be tested cranes according to lifting capacity. Moreover, there are also relevant Announcement from Department of Labor Protection and Welfare Regarding the criteria and methods for testing equipment and components of crane, 2011 as operation guideline. - Documentation of testing of components and equipment. Employers must provide documents, test data certified by professional. There are photographed while testing. Along with a copy of license Controlled Engineering Profession as evidence. Por Jor 1 inspecting why should it be inspected and what should be checked? Basically, need to check as following: - Check condition of crane structure. - Mounting crane on solid base - Power system - Covering or blocking, rotating, moving or potentially unsafe parts. - Control system. - Condition of wire rope or chain - Label indicating weight of the lift - Load Testing Por Jor 1 Inspection must be performed by expert engineers only. At present, there are service providers to inspect Por Jor 1, Por Jor 2, all kinds of cranes. That is licensed to be controlled engineering profession as juristic. In addition, some service providers also provide comprehensive and responsive services. Crane inspection, testing and maintenance services are available. Ready to issue report on completion of PM.

Before Russian forces began withdrawing from territory around Kyiv at the start of the month, US war policy appeared aimed at delicately threading a geopolitical needle: bolstering Ukraine’s defences without triggering a conflict between Nato and the Kremlin. In the past two weeks, however, current and former US officials say that much of the caution of the war’s first phases has been all but discarded. Joe Biden, US president, has become far more strident in his rhetoric, accusing Vladimir Putin of “genocide” and urging the establishment of a war crimes tribunal. Nowhere has the shift in policy been more evident than in the weaponry the US has begun shipping to Ukrainian forces. Just a month after opposing a Polish scheme to supply MiG-29 fighter jets to the Ukrainian air force, the White House has pivoted, facilitating the supply of spare parts to Kyiv to get 20 warplanes back in the air — and vastly expanding the range of heavy weaponry it is delivering into the fight. “This is an administration that was very hesitant in the not too distant past to provide equipment that would give the Ukrainians a capability that could be provocative to the Russians,” said Ian Brzezinski, who headed Nato policy at the Pentagon during the Bush administration and is now at the Atlantic Council. Brzezinski noted that six weeks ago the administration was not providing armoured personnel carriers, long-range Howitzer weaponry or helicopters. “It is a very clear and profound shift.” Officials say the change in policy is the result of several factors, including a desire to do more to help Kyiv following evidence of atrocities in the areas Russian troops occupied before retreating from the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital. There has also been a reassessment of the threat posed by Russia’s nuclear arsenal, a sabre that Putin rattled early in the war but one which analysts now believe he is unlikely to deploy. And the US is trying to respond to the changing needs of the Ukrainian military as it prepares to fend off a renewed assault by Moscow in the Donbas region in the east of the country. One of the most important triggers for the shift, current and former officials say, has been the surprisingly effective performance of the Ukrainian military, which has outshone even the most optimistic expectations of military analysts inside and outside the Pentagon. “At the beginning, the estimates were that the Ukrainian military couldn’t hold out for more than a handful of weeks,” said Chris Murphy, a Democratic senator on the Senate foreign relations committee. “If that’s your assessment, of course, the equipment you’re going to be sending is different than if you expect a war that’s going to last months and years.” The shift is evident in the rapid pace of weapons shipments making their way from the US to Ukraine. Every day, eight to 10 cargo flights, most of them operated by the US, land near the country’s western borders, carrying hundreds of millions of dollars worth of increasingly heavy weaponry, US officials said. Defence officials describe a process whereby equipment, once authorised for dispatch, reaches Ukraine in 48 to 72 hours. Of the $3.4bn in lethal aid that the US has pledged since the start of the war, the US has committed nearly half of it, or $1.6bn, since last week. “I can’t think of another case, certainly not in the middle of a war, doing this as rapidly as we’re doing it,” a former senior US military commander said. It has taken the US and allies time to figure out what kinds of systems they can provide without provoking a response from Moscow, but so far Russia has not attacked any shipments. “We have no indications that any of the western equipment or shipments have been hit or otherwise deterred by the Russians,” said a senior Nato official. Over the past week or so, the US has shifted its focus to providing weapons viewed more as offensive, such as heavy artillery, helicopters, armoured personnel carriers and lethal attack drones. By contrast, Washington’s first aid package to Ukraine when the conflict began, valued at $350mn, included anti-armour, small arms and munitions, and body armour. White House and Pentagon officials say they are responding to requests from Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, who has waged a nonstop campaign to press the US and its allies to provide more and heavier arms. Biden has maintained two of the red lines he drew at the onset of the invasion: no American troops on the ground in Ukraine, and no Nato-enforced no-fly zone that might drag the military alliance into a direct conflict with Russia. But there have been some important shifts on the margins. American troops are beginning to train Ukrainians in Europe. And the US sent a Patriot system to Slovakia, which will be operated by US troops, so that Bratislava could send its S-300 air defence system to Ukraine. And even though the US opposed the Polish MiG 29 proposal, John Kirby, Pentagon press secretary, signalled earlier this week that Washington was now backing efforts by an unnamed country to send fighter jets to Ukraine. There is no sign that the US plans to let up soon. Biden said on Thursday that he would ask Congress for more money next week “to keep weapons and ammunition flowing without interruption to the brave Ukrainian fighters”. Underscoring the strategy is Washington’s assessment that the conflict will continue for months if not longer. “What you’re seeing . . . is the United States is recognising that we’re now in for a grind,” said Dan Baer, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace who was ambassador to the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe during the Obama administration.

Global Times (23 June 2020) – The Indian government on Sunday gave “complete freedom of action” to Indian troops deployed along the China-India Line of Actual Control. This means Indian commanders will not be restricted in using firearms. If this new approach is implemented and Indian troops shoot Chinese soldiers in the first place in future encounters, then the China-India border dispute will turn into a military conflict. This is not what most Chinese and Indian people wish to see. China and India signed two bilateral agreements in 1996 and 2005, both of which said neither side shall use its military capability against the other side. This fundamentally limited the scale of conflicts in the border area, and the provision had been upheld during the June 15 clash. Although “complete freedom of action” is the Modi administration’s appeasement to the Indian army and public opinion, it is extremely irresponsible. It shows that India may be tearing up the two countries’ most important agreements, and this will seriously increase the two troops’ mutual distrust and add to the possibility of unwanted military conflicts. It is also against the consensus reached by the two sides’ foreign ministers to cool down the situation in the Galwan Valley. We would like to warn India’s feverish nationalists not to lead New Delhi down the wrong path, and not allow India to repeat past mistakes. They must know that in 1962, the two countries were of roughly equal strength, but today, China’s GDP is five times that of India, and China’s defense spending is more than triple India’s according to West estimates. China is a highly industrialized country, while India is still in the primary stage of industrialization. Most of China’s advanced weapons are manufactured domestically, but all of India’s advanced weapons are imported. There are things that the Indian army cannot get without using firearms, and even more unlikely for them to get these things through armed conflicts. That the Indian troops can defeat the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is utter fantasy. After the June 15 clash, the Indian government showed rationality to prevent the situation from escalating. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “Nobody has intruded into our border, neither is anybody there now, nor have our posts been captured.” But India’s extreme nationalists continue to put pressure on their government, risking an escalation of tensions at the border. It is the Indian side that is unilaterally retreating from the bilateral agreements. India needs to be held responsible for the possible consequences. We would like to tell PLA soldiers stationed at the China-India border that they must be extra careful when fulfilling their duties, and to be well prepared for war. If the Indian army fires the first shot, PLA soldiers must ensure that they have enough firepower to fight back. The most important thing is ensure their own safety and not to suffer losses in an armed skirmish triggered by the Indian side. We also urge the PLA to prepare for the worst-case scenario. If the Indian army launches a border war, it must be taught a good lesson. We believe the PLA has sufficient capability to do so. China does not want its relations with India to become sour, but some radical Indian forces have lost rationality. The Chinese army should display its resolve to fight back if and when the Indian side opens fire. Frontline Indian officers must keep in their minds that whoever fires the first shot will be wiped out by the PLA. In history, India has miscalculated China’s will several times, and been muddle-headed about the strength gap of the two sides, leading to its recklessness and the heavy price it had to pay. Wasn’t the same true with the June 15 clash? It is hoped that the Indian side will not repeat its historical mistakes and avoid an aggressive posture in its border dispute with China. It should head in the same direction with China and put the situation under the control of both sides.

By Rex Nutting A big change is coming to the U.S. economy: a prolonged period of labor shortages. And nearly everything we’re doing now is making the problem worse. Over the past year, we’ve seen a hint of what labor shortages could mean: delays, higher prices and the frustration of not being able to buy things when we want them. But we’re not really short of workers quite yet. Hundreds of thousands of people enter the workforce each month, and companies are hiring at a rapid pace. On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that nonfarm payroll jobs increased by 372,000 in June. That’s a slowdown from the average of 545,000 over the past year, but it’s more than the average hiring in the 2010s of 190,000. But soon enough, sometime in the next few years, the lack of available workers will slow monthly job growth below 100,000, perhaps to less than 50,000 . That’s not a reckless economic prediction; it’s a conservative demographic projection of current trends. This structural labor shortage could have a profound impact on our economy, politics and society, both good and bad. But if we want the good things that could come from slower growth, we’ll have to plan for it. Demographic tidal wave Roughly speaking, the growth rate of an economy is determined by two factors: growth in hours worked (mostly because there are more workers) and growth in productivity, including the increased output unlocked by machines, software, human capital, and more efficient methods of organizing production and commerce. The United States is among the fortunate countries: growth in the labor supply is expected to slow but not actually decline, unlike in Europe and East Asia, which are on track to shrink dramatically as those countries age. Even China’s massive labor force will shrink. Starting in the 1960s and ’70s, the U.S. economy has been propelled by a demographic tidal wave, as the 76 million baby boomers grew up and made their way into the world. Women entered the workforce in large numbers at the same time. In the 1970s, the working-age population (15 to 64) was growing by nearly 2 million a year and, boosted by older women going to work, the labor force grew by about 2.5 million a year. No wonder employment grew by 19 million during the decade and annual GDP growth averaged 3.2%. A similar demographic bulge hit the economy in the 1990s, when Gen X and the first wave of millennials began to work. The working-age population rose by 1.3 million a year and the labor force grew by 1.6 million a year. Employment increased by 22 million during the 1990s and GDP averaged 3.4%. But now the tide is going out. Next year, the working-age population is expected to grow by just 400,000. In 2024, it’s expected to grow by 300,000 and by just 200,000 in 2025. The pool of workers will begin to grow a bit faster later in the decade and throughout the 2030s, but current projections through 2060 don’t foresee the labor supply returning to the same growth rate we’ve gotten used to over the past 70 years. We can’t go back in time and raise the birthrate of 2002 to get more workers today but there are things we can do to increase the supply of workers or find ways to increase their productivity.
