Measuring and analyzing the relationship between military spending and economic growth in Iraq for the period (2004-2019)
Keywords:military spending, economic growth in Iraq
AbstractThe research deals with measuring and analyzing the relationship between military spending and economic growth expressed in the gross domestic product of the Iraqi economy during the period (2004-2019), especially in a country such as Iraq, where the volume of military spending reached approximately (3.5%) of the gross domestic product. For the year 2019, as well as the country's continuous need to develop its military and security capabilities as a result of the internal and external security conditions that the country is going through that may require more spending on the military sector. The research concluded with a set of conclusions, the most important of which is that there is a positive relationship between military spending and economic growth expressed in GDP, and that there is no common complementarity between the research variables, that is, the absence of a long-term equilibrium relationship, through the use of (Angel - Granger) methodology for joint integration, And that the gross domestic product causes military spending, according to the causation test of Granger, with two time lags between the variables in the short term, which were revealed by the self-regression vector model (VAR).

Are Android TV boxes legal in the USA?
There has been a huge uproar in the digital market with the concerns of Android TV boxes being legal or not. The devices are getting immensely popular and that is why many leading online stores are offering different versions of such devices; each device differs from each other with respect to its specifications, hardware etc. Online streaming is getting popular day by day and you can watch your programs on Android boxes using top IPTV subscriptions. Before discussing whether it is legal to stream videos through Android TV boxes or not, let’s have a brief look at what can this device do for the users?
Android TV Box – What can it do?
An Android TV box can transform your regular television set into a smart TV. It gives the users access to watch live streaming of television sports, download shows and movies, and install various others games and applications. The users can also play music and surf the internet through a web browser on this multimedia device.
Android TV Box – Legal or Illegal?
Coming to the main subject i.e. Android TV boxes being legal or not. As mentioned above there are many brands offering a variety of Android TV Boxes, claiming their device to be the best Android TV Box and masses are buying this new technology device without giving a thought whether they are legal or not.
The word is that Android TV Boxes are legal to purchase and there is no illegal element attached to it if you are using them at your home. However, the issue arises if you are modifying these devices to receive digital TV subscription channels without paying any charges. For example, if you are streaming or downloading certain content that is copyrighted; you may be entering the illegal territory of using Android TV boxes. The devices have become the favorite of masses as they can play games, watch the popular shows on big screens i.e. their TV sets without having to pay a penny but they may not have the idea that they are indulging in illegal stuff by doing this if they are streaming and/or downloading restricted stuff.
In fact in the UK, a recent and very high profile UK law suit is currently underway regarding the selling of what’s be termed “Fully Loaded” TV Boxes. This is basically a TV box with not just media players installed, such as Kodi, but also with channels and repositories set up which allow the user to stream or download copyrighted material without paying any of the normal license fees. This could be live streaming sports or premium TV shows.

The ruling from this case will no doubt set a precedence for what software is permissible to be preinstalled on such TV boxes and it is worth noting that it’s not just the selling of such TV boxes that could cause issue. If as a TV box consumer you stream or download materials in this way, whether knowingly or unknowingly you could well be breaking the law.
To cut the long story short, an Android TV Box can give you more or less the same features and functions that a smartphone or tablet with the Android operating system can provide a user with. Furthermore, these devices can also be rooted likewise similar Android devices to run those apps/games or to delete the built-in apps which you may not otherwise be able to do so. By the way, if you are looking for coupons for boxes, don’t forget to stop by CouponAnnie.com to save big with the latest coupons and promo codes.
However, as per the law, there are no legal complications associated with the selling and purchase of Android TV Boxes, and even a TV Box with Kodi is legal, but the streaming and/or downloading of certain material that is protected by copyright can be termed as illegal. So, you should be completely aware of the legality of the content that you are going to stream and/or download on your TV Box before purchasing a cheap Android TV box.

into almost any grocery store in America, anytime of the year, and you
will find the same varieties of easily recognizable and perfectly shaped
apples. Mostly notably are the Red Delicious, the yellow green
Golden Delicious and the green Granny Smith. If you are lucky you
may find a few other varieties (red and green McIntosh, red and yellow
Gala, Braeburn, Fuji, and the red Rome) especially during the Fall harvest time. This is surprising when you think that there are over 7,000 named
varieties of apples in the world. Unfortunately the
consumer seems to value perfection in their apples (perfect size, shape,
and color) over taste and the producers compound the problem by only
growing apples that are profitable (have high yields and long storage
qualities). A. J. Liebling in 'Between Meals' says of the consumer
"They have made a triumph of the Delicious apple because it doesn't
taste like an apple, and of the Golden Delicious because it doesn't
taste like anything."
It is believed that the wild crab
apple was the first fruit known to man and one of the first fruits to be
cultivated. There are many references to the apple in Greek mythology.
In fact, the ancient Greeks would call any unknown round fruit that grew
on a tree an 'apple' often distinguishing it only by its country of
origin. For example, the Greeks called citrus fruits "Persian
apples" and apricots "Armenian apples". Many times the term
"golden apples" was used and it is now thought the Greeks were probably
referring to lemons or oranges. It wasn't until the 17th century that
permanent names began to stick to certain fruits.
Apples were brought
to the New World by the Pilgrims in 1620. The beginning of
the westward cultivation of apple trees is credited to the now famous
Johnny Appleseed, although not by him simply tossing around apple seeds
as legend has it. Johnny Appleseed was born John Chapman in
Leominster Massachusetts in 1774.
Around 1800, starting in
Pennsylvania and moving westward to Indiana, he established nurseries
and planted apple trees everywhere he went until his death in 1845.
At about the same time, 1824, Captain Aemilius Simpson planted the first
apple seeds in the Northwest (Washington) which is the now the top apple
producer in the United States.
Apples come in so
many colors, shapes, and sizes. Their flavor can range from crisp
and sour to soft and sweet. The beauty of the apple is that its
taste will change from year to year depending on the growing conditions. In fact, flavor can vary from apple tree to apple tree and even from
orchard to orchard. So whenever possible
buy your apples from a local orchard or farmer's market and remember
what Horace once said "Whatever variety of apple you eat, to get the best
make sure to buy only those picked by the light of the waning moon".

JTCars powered Elise wins SNF Finals!
Congratulations to Eugene Lee for winning the Saturday Night Fever RWD Grand Finals 2011! Against all odds, the little 120hp Lotus Elise was able to overcome a barrage of challenges right from the start of the day to emerge victorious in the end; something no one expected even at the eleventh hour.
All was ready for Saturday’s race day at 2pm when the Elise arrived for registration. At 4.30pm the alternator light suddenly came on and decision was made to bring her back to Subang for repairs as there was no support crew at the Sepang circuit.
By the time the car arrived back in the workshop it was already 5.45pm and supplies shops were closing for the weekend. The car was quickly set on the hoist and the boys worked franticly under its belly. By 7pm, Race 1 of SNF had begun while the stricken Elise was still bed-ridden. We were to miss the first heat relegating our position right to the back of the starting grid. By 9pm repairs were complete but we were not sure if we had missed Race 2. Nevertheless we rushed back to Sepang.
As we arrived at the circuit there was good and bad news. We were able to start Race 2 with a few minutes to spare, but the starting grid was now mashed up with multiple categories running simultaneously. They used to run a smaller group one category at a time. The other competitors in our class competed in Race 1 and were able to secure up to 6th on the starting grid while we had to settle for 27th. With only 5 laps, we needed to get pass 21 cars and push the untested Elise to the limit in order to win.
Race 2 started and the field left the Elise for dust. The field was up on power this round and the Lotus felt zoned out, slow and loose. At the end of 5 laps, Eugene was only able to crawl up 7 positions with 1 Final Race remaining. When the car arrived back at the pits, the boys made some last minute adjustments but untested, we did not know it was for better or worse.
Furthermore, the alternator repairs from earlier seemed to hold up but we did not know for how long more it can take the sudden punishment. Being in the middle of the pack also meant a higher risk of accidents into turn 1 as the field would bunch up and throng for position. Previously racing a Honda DC5 cup car, Eugene was hit in the rear while holding 3rd position going into turn 1. The hit spun him out and was immediately out of contention for a podium.
Final race started and it was out of our hands. This time the Elise felt poised and more agile although the straight speed was still weak. Eugene was able to get a good run off the line and moved up a few positions into the first turn. In the midst of all the chaos, cars spinning out, jump starts, crashes and sand trapped, the Elise amazingly emerged out in front and in 1 piece.
Without the passion, ingenuity and determination of our boys fixing the car and our patient suppliers staying open for us, we would have certainly not been able to start the race let alone finish it. A big thank you! Here’s racing for ya! | <urn:uuid:46b998da-53c5-46de-915d-07394d712611> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://jtcars.net/posts/articles/news/jtcars-powered-elise-wins-snf-finals-2/23117/ | 2024-02-27T23:42:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.982601 | 673 |
When is a political campaign (and I don’t mean an election) a guise for accomplishing something far more sinister and far more dangerous than is claimed?
When seeming attempts to save unborn lives in the name of something holy are really a war on women.
When apparent efforts to prevent abortion in the name of protecting the lives of the unborn are, in actuality, purposeful, planned moves to take away women’s power . . . a war against women.
When men, and most tragically of all, other women themselves, are so afraid of the power women have birthed and claimed in recent times, that they are bound and determined to turn back the times and make women powerless . . . a war against women.
When men, and even women, collude, under the guise of goodness, to make women possessions again . . . possessions of their fathers, possessions of their husbands, possessions of their religions, possessions of the Divine as they perceive the Divine, women making themselves the possessions of others, even women treating themselves like possessions . . . a war against women.
When men, afraid of the growing power women have claimed, and even women themselves are afraid of their own power and the power of other women, and instead of supporting that power and working through their own fears, want to squash that power forever . . . in a war against women.
Wherever else this is happening in our world, it is also happening right now in the United States of America in 2011.
It is rising to bizarre proportions! Last week, there was a bill in Congress that , under the guise of taking action to prevent abortions, would have redefined rape to include only forcible rape . . . and to leave women powerless when they are violated in other ways – by date rape, by rape that occurs when a perpetrator drugs his victim, by rape while a woman is intoxicated or asleep, by rape perpetrated on underage females,by rape when a woman withdraws her consent, or by rape when a woman is trying not to be injured further or is trying to stay alive.
Whatever this bill looked like it was doing, H.R.3, The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act was, in truth, a war on women’s power, a war on women’s protection, a war on women’s access to help . . . a war against women!
And this bill was one single action in millions that have been taking place and that will continue to take place.
A terrorizing war . . . against women!It’s like a daughter of an incest perpetrator who cuts her off from help in the family, isolates her from the outside world, threatens her loss of safety, threatens her daily survival — food, clothing, shelter, and medical help – squashes her voice, and most dangerous of all, puts on the face of kindness and goodness one minute, while stalking her silently and consistently, so that she is scared all the time.
I know that this is the backlash to the power women have been birthing, growing, and claiming. And I know a backlash was inevitable. We need to take this seriously now! This is a war against women.
If we are going to end this war against women, we – women and men alike – are going to need to do our own inner healing. All of us are part of this, whether we want to know it, acknowledge it, feel it . . . or not! This is no joke! I don’t mean just by reading self help books or going to support groups or even a workshop here and there. We are going to need to heal within us our own fears of being powerless, and also the places where we would take dangerous actions to crush someone else’s power because we are afraid.
There is much more that needs to be said, taught, and healed here than I can do in this short time and space. I hope, though, that I have opened your eyes to see what is really occurring, opened your mind to help you think about the truth of what is happening, and opened your heart to say ‘yes’ to the healing you, yourself, need to do. I also hope that you will pass this on to others . . . whose eyes, minds, and hearts need to open.
Thank you and many blessings,

“Cut the dime store analysis out and work with me,” said the tyrannical “young pope.”
“I don’t work with 9-year-old boys,” his mentor, the cardinal, courageously responded.
“You’ve never budged* from the front gate of that orphanage, where one fine day,
with no explanation, your parents abandoned you.
May God help us!
You want to make the world pay for the wrong it did to you.
You’ll be a terrible pope. The worst.
And the most dangerous in modern times.
And I don’t intend to waste the few years I have remaining
being an accomplice to a vindictive little boy!”**
This could be from biblical times.
It could be from Roman times.
It could be from medieval and renaissance times.
It could be from the times of colonial Britain.
It could be from the times of the World Wars.
It could be from today’s times in the USA.
It could be from our very own times in the world today.
Or … it could be from times in our world a year from now, 10 years from now, half a century from now, or more.
It’s not just about leaders – world or national, major or minor.
It’s not just about their advisors – with advice that’s legitimate, valid, just, in truth, or not.
It’s not just about their supporters – whether well-informed or seduced and deluded.
It’s not just about their opponents – fighting for what they believe is right and good and safe.
It’s about all of us.
“You’ve never budged…”
Each of us has never budged from some painful point in our childhood. Perhaps some point physically, like the front gate of an orphanage, the corner of a crib, a closet in the bedroom, a cellar. But most importantly, from some point emotionally that was traumatic for us – such as an event that created in us primal terror, rage, hurt, heartbreak, or a cauldron of all those feelings cooking in our being.
“You want to make the world pay…”
Each of us, whether or not we realize it, buried our feelings and made some decision way back at the time of that trauma – some decision about how to relate to ourselves, others, life itself, even The Divine. Maybe we decided to make the world pay overtly. Maybe covertly. Maybe we decided to do a better job of “ruling” the world than those who ruled our childhood world. Maybe we decided we’d punish the ones who hurt us and save those who, like us, needed to be rescued. Maybe we even decided to hurt ourselves in order to make the other pay. Whatever we decided, most of us didn’t realize we were making a decision we would actually carry out in our lives. Most of us didn’t realize we would carry out our actions, driven by the decision of a 9-year old – like the young pope from the series quoted above – a 5-year old, a 2-year old, or even a tiny baby whose decision was beneath thoughts and words.
“You’ll be a terrible pope…”
Maybe we thought all this primal wounding and our early decisions from it would make us the strongest, the smartest, the most skilled, the richest, the best. The best at whatever we tried. But most likely, our primal wounding actually made us the worst. The worst parent. The worst partner. The worst employee or boss. The worst leader or follower. The most dangerous in modern times. The most dangerous as we continue to enact again and again some version of the wounds we experienced onto those in our lives today – both people we are close to and people we’ll never ever even meet.
… And I don’t intend to waste the few years I have remaining
being an accomplice to a vindictive little boy!”
If nobody insists we face what we’re doing, how will we know? If nobody teaches us … If nobody stops us … If nobody shows us the truth … How will we know that we’re acting out our wounds from our youth on people in our lives today? How will we know that in the guise of an adult, we’re carrying on our lives as a child? How will we know that beneath the appearance of someone who has grown big and tall … is a little girl or boy (us) who is going through days and nights pretending to be a grown up?
And if nobody insists we face what we’re doing in public … how will anyone in the world know there is a child driving the world in a big person’s body, with a big person’s mask, in a big person’s role, with the power of a big person … to do anything that child wants – out in the open or under cover of secrecy, acknowledged in truth or supposedly hidden by lies?
And if no one knows there is a child driving the world – whether that world be a family, a school, a company, a town government, a country, our Earth – how will anyone know that child-pretending-to-be-an-adult needs to do the inner healing work to stop the travesty the child is re-enacting of creating trauma in an attempt to defend against the buried-yet-still-alive pain of the trauma the child once experienced?
And how in heaven’s name will we find our way to facing and healing the damage we are creating in our attempts to keep the trauma we once experienced at bay? And how in heaven’s name will we find our way to facing and healing the trauma at the root of our own personal acting out?
It’s a gift when one person can see this and name it. Why can’t more of us do so? Because we, too, are still little children inside, trying to hold at bay the memories and traumas and painful feelings from back when we were actually little children. So we do collude with the person like the young pope in the series. And we do collude from our own young woundedness that we have never healed. Our own young woundedness that we have not yet healed.
We are seeing this all over our country in the US. We are seeing this all over our world. We wouldn’t be here, where we are in the life of our world today, if each of us hadn’t contributed in some way, big or small, from the traumas in our personal histories that we have left unconscious and unhealed. From the traumas in our family histories that we have left unconscious and unhealed. From the traumas in our communal histories that we have left unconscious and unhealed… up until now.
Here we have it. A summary and mirror of the choice each of us has in our life.
A summary of the choice we have as a country.
The choice we have as a human race:
Face and heal the ancient wounding we carry within us.
Or continue to wound ourselves and others in the world today and tomorrow –
in a futile attempt to get away from the ancient wounds living within us,
and the painful feelings that go with them.
Thank you to all those involved in the production of The Young Pope.
You have held a mirror for us. A mirror for what is happening and a mirror of our choices. The dialogue between the cardinal and the young pope has shown us the point from which the young pope has never budged. We see other glimpses into the places from which others in the cast of characters have, themselves, never budged. A clear mirror in which we can see ourselves.
Without helping the child within get unstuck from that place s/he hasn’t yet budged from … without helping the child within heal so there is no longer a need to hold the ancient pain at bay by creating the same pain in the world today … that person cannot act from an adult place in these challenging times.
Your efforts have contributed to helping us in this process of healing the stuck children so we can take steps toward truly acting as adults.
Thank you. Please continue to find ways to show us where we have blocked our own way and how to get ourselves unblocked as soon as possible, as deeply as possible, as much in Truth and Love as possible.
This is my work, and I am so thankful to have your crystal-clear help.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP KEEP OUR WORLD SAFE
FROM THE INSIDE OUT
It can be very difficult to see ourselves, or even want to see ourselves, when we are acting, feeling, and thinking from a very wounded young place within. But it is crucial, for our sakes and for the sake of our world, that we become more aware of those times when we are unconsciously regressed.
To truly help in the healing of our world … commit today to become aware of those times when you’re being “a child in an adult’s body.” Are there times when you feel, think or even act in a way that reminds you of a time long ago in childhood when you felt, thought, and acted the same way? Or maybe you wanted to feel, think or act in that same way as a child but were too afraid?
When witnessing events unfolding in our nation and our world, either in fiction or in the real world … can you see the same regression in world leaders and their followers – in your own nation and in the world at large? What comes up inside you when you see or hear leaders who are acting from a young, wounded place? Do you collude? Are you stirred strongly, angrily or maybe even violently?
There may be those in your life, like the cardinal quoted above, who can see your regression when you cannot. Most of all, you may need a good, caring therapist to help you see the regression you and others cannot see … and who can help you to explore and heal the young wounded self still living inside you.
Imagine if everyone committed to use the mirror of The Young Pope – and the many other mirrors we are presented with every day – to explore and heal the wounded child within …our leaders … their followers … their opponents … ourselves … all of us! | <urn:uuid:76086807-55d3-45ce-9046-2991dc4f46f2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://judithbarr.com/tag/utilizing-tv-shows-for-healing/ | 2024-02-28T00:39:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.955051 | 2,256 |

Got questions? No worries. We got you.
Let’s start with the difference between selling TO Amazon and selling ON Amazon.
When you sell TO Amazon, they handle your listing creation, sales, and advertising. They will NOT sign a MAP agreement, and will maintain the lowest price possible for your product. Remember, they care about the customer, not the brand.
When working with third party sellers like us, we manage your listing and advertising WITH YOU INVOLVED. We will honor your MAP agreement 100% of the time (since we signed it). Your brand’s goals are aligned with ours, and we work with YOUR interests in mind. Better yet, check out our Brand Partnership Program and make YOURSELF the 1st party seller!
Nothing. We do not charge for bringing you these added values. We simply align our performance goals with yours and purchase inventory directly at a profitable margin for everyone involved. In our Brand Partnership program, we charge a negotiated commission for managing your Amazon store. New to Amazon? We can do that too!
No. We purchase your products in bulk and send them to one of our nationwide partner facilities for additional prep. From there, it is sent to Amazon for fulfillment through the FBA (Prime) program.
Although we are an open and honest company with our brand partners, we have found that sometimes this is not always reciprocal. Because of this, our store name is different than our company name. We only share our store name with our brand partners.
Of course! Unlike with Amazon, or even with large mega-sellers, we are a small mom-and-pop company. When you call or email, you will speak directly with either Hilary or David. We are here for you!
All of them! When we partner with a brand, we handle:
- Listing optimization and creation
- Photos (we have a photographer on staff)
- Keyword research
- Advertising campaign management
- Inventory management
- Customer email support
In the Wholesale Partnership: No, we are not a brand manager in the traditional sense. We are a value added third party seller who cares about the brands we partner with and how they are represented on Amazon. If you want a more custom experience, we recommend our Brand Partnership service.
The Brand Partnership Program offers several solutions to specific problems that the wholesale partnership cannot address:
- A direct-to-consumer supply chain
- Avoids inventory leaks and counterfeiting
- Builds trust with consumers
- Increases sales
- Resolves MAP violations
- Values brick and mortar relationships
- A value added asset to your company
- Maintains full control and optimization of your Amazon presence
- Tells the story of the brand
- Simplifies logistics and efficiency
- Assists in future negotiations
- Provides sales data
- Increased profits
- Lowers costs throughout the supply chain
- Higher benefit from each conversion
- Access to all data, advertising, and reporting from Amazon
We are happy to explore either option to see which would be the best fit for you.
No. Unless you are in our Brand Partnership, working with Kahl & Main does not make us an exclusive seller. You maintain control over your choice of who to work with, including brick and mortar sellers who happen to sell online.
That said, we would LOVE to be your exclusive seller on Amazon if you choose. Exclusivity can offer additional benefits, including increased sales both online AND in brick and mortar.
From price dropping to outright copyright infringement, unauthorized sellers can wreak havoc on your brand. To solve this problem, we have partnered with a leading Amazon legal team who can help you through the process. Optionally, you can make Kahl & Main an exclusive partner for Amazon, which can bring significant additional value to your brand, including INCREASED sales. | <urn:uuid:ed4b8a31-9f63-4596-81e2-ac04fd6d0424> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://kahlandmain.com/faqs-2/ | 2024-02-27T23:14:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.935447 | 794 |
Charcoal is a color term that’s commonly thrown around by interior designers, architects and other design-savvy types, but if the term leaves your wonders what color is charcoal exactly, you’re in the right spot.
This website uses affiliate links which may earn a commission for purchases made at no additional cost to you.
Here, I’ll explain this popular color and how it’s commonly used in homes and interiors. I’ve also got plenty of photos and tips for using charcoal at home.
What Color is Charcoal?
Charcoal can most easily be described by looking at its carbon-colored namesake. It’s dark shade of gray than ranges from a deep slate hue to nearly black. The color is most often used to describe shades of gray that are almost black, but not quite.
Charcoal is made up of black and white, but you’ll often find various undertones like blue or green mixed in, which give charcoal its wide range of shades.
Is Charcoal Black or Gray?
Charcoal is a shade of gray, but in certain light, some shades can appear almost black.
If you’re looking at paint or upholstery (i.e. sofas) for your home and the color “charcoal” is an option, know that most companies will consider it a dark gray.
Charcoal is very close in color to, and can overlap with, colors considered “off blacks,” or shades that are slightly softer than a true black.
Is Charcoal Warm or Cool?
Charcoal generally has blue or green undertones, which make it a cool-toned color, however, charcoal can be neutral-toned too, which means it has no visible cool or warm undertones.
A charcoal hue with prominent warmer undertones starts to become more of an espresso/dark brown color.
Is Charcoal in Style?
As far as interior design trends go, charcoal was an extremely popular color for things like sofas and dining chairs in the 2010s. It seemed like every major furniture store sold a charcoal sofa.
While cool gray tones like charcoal have been overtaken by warmer neutral tones, charcoal is still a classic neutral that still has a place in today’s decor.
The key is to surround it with colors that feel current, like warmer neutrals, olive greens, etc. Which brings me to….
What Colors Go with Charcoal?
If you’re planning to decorate your home with charcoal, whether it be via a paint color or your home decor, you’ll have plenty of options for coordinating shades.
Natural fits for charcoal include:
- White and off white (as long as the off white isn’t too yellow)
- Tan and camel colors
- Natural wood tones
- Emerald and Kelly green
- Olive green
- Navy blue
How to Use Charcoal in Your Home
Charcoal is a dark color, which means it’s best used in smaller doses in your home decor.
Charcoal works well as an accent color for things like throw pillows, vases, bedding, art and decorative objects.
It’s a natural fit for modern spaces, paired with cool neutrals like true black, white, and other gray and silver tones. But, it also works well in modern rustic spaces, warmed up with rich wood tones, leather, and earth tones.
Here’s a look at a few of the best ways to decorate with charcoal:
It can also be used for upholstered pieces like sofas or arm chairs, but if you take this route, just be sure that you include enough contrast in the space to lighten things up and keep your room inviting. Pair a charcoal sofa with a white or off white paint color, a wood toned coffee table, and a mx of lighter-hued throw pillows, for example.
Consider charcoal paint colors for accent walls, lower cabinetry (with lighter-colored upper cabinets), bathroom vanities, or even trim work with light colored walls.
Charcoal paint colors
If you’re looking for charcoal colors to paint your home, there are plenty to choose from. I’ve listed out a few of my favorites to get you started:
Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal
Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal is a neutral charcoal shade, which means it doesn’t have any noticeable blue undertones. This is a great choice if you’re looking for a charcoal color to pair with warmer tones like ivory or tan.
Benjamin Moore Charcoal Slate
Charcoal Slate is a deep shade of gray with blue and Indigo undertones. While it’s a dark paint color, it’s not so dark that you’ll miss its depth and undertones. It pairs well with shades of beige, and off whites like BM Swiss Coffee.
Benjamin Moore Charcoal Linen
Benjamin Moore Charcoal Linen is a slightly lighter shade of charcoal. If you’re looking for a shade that will read more gray than black, or for a room that doesn’t get much natural light, try charcoal linen.
Benjamin Moore Tavern Charcoal
Tavern Charcoal is one of my favorite Benjamin Moore dark paint colors. It’s not a true charcoal, but rather a deep shade of green with a heavy gray undertone that makes it feel unique and modern. | <urn:uuid:006c35e8-883a-4277-ae7d-7ede79304904> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://kaitlinmadden.com/what-color-is-charcoal/ | 2024-02-27T23:25:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.911708 | 1,143 |

In case you were not aware, Flash Thompson– Peter Parker’s old high school bully– is now the current owner of the Venom symbiote. It’s a long story, but the important things to focus on are A.) Marvel’s version of New York City is micro-cosmically small, seeing as how the same few dozen characters continue to get tied together, B.) Flash lost his legs as a soldier before becoming Venom, and C.) the new Venom has a paramilitary vibe, which looks kind of cool.
OK, I guess you didn’t really need to know about the missing legs thing. Or the goofy origin, really– what it really comes down to is Flash’s Venom sports a new costume design– kind of Punisher and Eddie Brock’s creature combined– and the new Marvel Select figure does a wonderful job of translating this look in toy form.
Flash Venom was first available at the top of the Holiday Season, in a Disney exclusive four-pack alongside a new, classic Lizard and re-hashes of Spider-Man and Green Goblin. The set wasn’t bad, but it cost a considerable chunk of change, and thankfully, Marvel and Disney had the wisdom to release single-carded versions of both Venom and Lizard, for collectors who didn’t feel the need to repurchase Spidey and Goblin. It’s a smart and fair plan, a rarity when it comes to store exclusives– those who were impatient, or wanted all the figures could buy the box set, while the rest of us could cherry pick our favorites a few weeks later.
I’m as impressed with the new Venom’s execution as much as his distribution– this sculpt is a home run. Despite his simple, black and white color pattern, Flash includes a variety of textures throughout his costume, all of which work perfectly well together, from the high gloss ridges on his sides to the spiky, gritty armor on his shins, forearms and shoulders. The paramilitary trappings, such as Flash’s belt and leg holster are well executed, and feature two working holsters for his guns. Flash also includes a war-torn display stand, with broken asphalt and mangled technical equipment, and removable shoulder pads (which I guess can also count as accessories).
Marvel Select is famous (and infamous) for their 7″ scale, sparking a guessing game (and debate among scale nazis) on how well each figure fits into the slightly smaller 6″ scale Marvel Legends set. Typically heftier figures like Hulk and Juggernaut can integrate seamlessly, but I’m happy to say that Flash fits in with Legends pretty well, especially for a non-bulky figure. He’s about half an inch too tall to truly fit in for the diehard scale obsessed, but he’s close enough in overall size and scale that he blends nicely in a Legends display alongside his fellow Thunderbolts.
The majority of this figure is very well-handled– he looks great, the paint apps make nice use of washes to break up his monochromatic color scheme, and he is well articulated (with a hinged neck, ball shoulders and hips, a good ball-style ab crunch, hinged elbows, knees and ankles and swivel waist and wrists). Both guns fit fairly well in Venom’s hands, as well as in their holsters, offering plenty of posing options. The only drawback I ran into are the shoulder pads, which look great but fasten in place very tenuously, with only one very small hinge to affix them to Venom’s shoulders. To keep them in place, the figure comes packed with those clear rubber bands looped around the pads, and I’m opting to keep those in place so the pads don’t fall off.
I’ll admit, I still think the Flash Thompson Venom idea is goofy and gimmicky, one of many silly moves that result in Marvel making their own universe feel small and too incestuous. That being said, the new Flash design is striking, a unique look for Venom while maintaining enough iconic qualities to make him instantly recognizable. And Marvel Select really nails their take on the character– he’s a well-engineered figure with great attention to articulation, paint and sculpted detail. Whether you’re into Select, Legends or both– the Flash Venom is an excellent new figure based on a character we’ve never seen in either line thus far, and if you find one, you should probably pick him up. | <urn:uuid:6350fefd-4a2b-4898-8e05-a32d843effa0> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://kastorskorner.com/flash-thompson-venom-great-disney-select-exclusive/ | 2024-02-28T00:19:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.961761 | 948 |
PHOTOS: Childhood Home of Beastie Boys’ Mike D Listed for $19.5 Million
Hester and Harold Diamond moved into the duplex in the '60s and were renting until they purchased the duplex in 1982 when the building became a co-op. Mike D's older brother, David, says his family bought the duplex and an adjoining 19th-floor apartment all together for $1.2 million, according to the New York Times.

MANKATO — Minnesota State University plans to create a Center for Rural Behavioral Health in the fall, with the focus being on improving access to mental health care in rural Minnesota.
The center will pursue research opportunities, workforce development for students interested in behavioral health fields, and continuing education for professionals in the field, according to MSU’s announcement Thursday.
It’ll be one of if not the only higher education centers in the country fully focused on addressing behavioral health needs in rural areas, said Thad Shunkwiler, founding director at the center and a health science professor at MSU.
By establishing the center, he said, one of the goals will be to recruit more students to enter the field. Having a center dedicated to rural mental health could end up serving as a magnet for students who previously weren’t aware about the field’s workforce needs.
“If we help tell this story of how important these jobs are, we can recruit and retain and put those professionals back in those rural areas to serve their communities,” he said.
With most Minnesota counties qualifying as shortage areas for mental health care, the center can help address those rural needs, said MSU President Edward Inch in a release.
“The center will work with community partners on research while seeking state and federal funding to grow a culturally representative behavioral health care workforce in rural Minnesota,” he stated.
A longer-term goal for the center, which is on track to kick off in August, will be to take what they learn here and help rural areas in other states. While workforce shortage issues are worsening in Minnesota, rural areas across the country face similar gaps.
Shunkwiler had the idea for the center in 2019.
He’s spoken out in recent years about the pressing need for more behavioral health providers in southern Minnesota and other rural areas of the state, an issue exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The university has five academic programs across three colleges — allied health and nursing, education, and social and behavioral sciences — preparing students for behavioral health careers. Faculty and students in the programs, as well as faculty and students in other MSU colleges, could collaborate on scholarly work within the newly established center.
Scholarly activities across multiple disciplines will be aimed at improving the “quality and access to resources in outstate Minnesota,” said Kris Retherford, dean of MSU’s college of allied health and nursing in a release.
Research won’t focus as much on the problems — the problems are evident in the research already out there — but on possible solutions, Shunkwiler said. One research area he mentioned would look into telehealth, as more patients relied on it during the pandemic.
Understanding if telehealth is meeting mental health needs, or what would need to change for it to meet more needs, will be important in rural Minnesota, Shunkwiler said. It seems to be part of the solution, but not the only solution if it leads to rural patients receiving care from metro providers.
“The struggles people face in small towns and rural, isolated areas are often different than the struggles in metro areas,” he said. “A broken arm in Blue Earth County is the same as in Edina, but the struggles of someone working on a dairy farm outside New Ulm are different than the emotional struggles someone is dealing with in downtown Minneapolis.”
Outside the university, the center will seek partnerships with health care organizations, behavioral health care providers and other sectors including agribusiness.
The idea is they all have a stake in the future of the behavioral health field, whether because they’ll need trained professionals or their employees need accessible care.
They, along with students and faculty at MSU, will soon have the center to turn to as a resource for their behavioral health needs.
“I’m hopeful that people can see the benefit of this center and rally behind it and help us kick it off this fall,” Shunkwiler said. | <urn:uuid:7fbdbedb-079f-4d05-b43a-855666be746b> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://keine-ruhe.org/msu-to-open-center-for-rural-behavioral-health-in-fall-local-news.html | 2024-02-28T00:39:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.957893 | 839 |

If you suffer from a weak grip or problems like tennis elbow or golfers elbow then these 7 kettlebell grip strength exercises are for you.
Kettlebells offer a great option for strengthening your grip in a variety of ways for both grip endurance and also brute grip strength.
Let’s get started:
Why Kettlebell Grip Strength Exercises Are Important
Everyday your grip strength is being used whether carrying shopping, opening a jam jar, holding a tennis racket, swinging a golf club, or playing with your kids.
As we age our overall muscle mass decreases and so does our grip strength
Having a strong grip is not only useful to accomplish daily tasks but it also helps maintain a heathy injury free body.
Tennis elbow, golfers elbow and other painful conditions that affect the forearm and elbow can be directly related to a weak grip.
Your grip strength is also directly related to your shoulder. Try squeezing a tight fist without activating your shoulder muscles, you can’t.
Most athletes report an increase in their overall weight training lifts when they improve their grip strength.
Personally as a climber and martial artist I’ve seen first hand the important of grip training.
As a kettlebell instructor I’ve seen some great advances in my own grip strength just from performing a variety of kettlebell exercises on a regular basis.
7 Kettlebell Grip Strength Exercises
If you are a frequent kettlebell lifter then you will have been training your grip strength without you even realising it.
The heavier the kettlebell and the thicker the handle the more grip strength you will need.
You can exercise your grip strength endurance by performing exercises with a lighter kettlebell and for longer periods or work your brute grip strength by going heavy.
Listed below are 7 kettlebell grip strength exercises starting with the easiest and finishing with the most technical.
1 Kettlebell Slingshot
The kettlebell slingshot is a dynamic way to start conditioning your grip strength and serves as a great warm up too.
Keep your arms straight as you practice passing the kettlebell from one hand to the other around your body.
Stand tall with your chest up and core muscles tight. Your hips should remain as motionless as possible.
Experiment with different kettlebell weights, you can use a lighter kettlebell to work on your grip endurance and a heavier kettlebell to challenge your grip strength.
Keep the space around you clear just in case you drop the kettlebell.
Take action: Practice changing direction every 10 rotations. Can you manage a total of 100 reps?
Want more? Why I love the kettlebell slingshot
Watch the kettlebell slingshot exercise below:
2 Kettlebell Farmers Carry
The kettlebell farmers walk is a classic grip strength training exercise.
The exercise is simple, pick up a kettlebell and go for a walk.
You can work on your grip endurance by using a lighter kettlebell or grip strength by using a heavy kettlebell.
The thicker the kettlebell handle the more challenging the exercise will be. You can wrap tape, a cloth or cardboard around the handle to really challenge your grip strength.
Try to add some variety to the exercise too by walking up hills, down hills and across uneven ground.
When you feel like you are going to drop the kettlebell set it down for a few seconds to allow recovery and then pick it up and continue.
Start a grip workout: Select a specific distance and see how many times you have to put the kettlebell down before reaching your destination, then change hands and walk back again.
3 Kettlebell One Hand Swing
The kettlebell swing will challenge your grip strength as the kettlebell tries to escape from your grip due to the momentum of the swing.
You will find that during high repetitions of swings your grip will work hard especially as your hands start to get slippy with sweat.
The heavier and thicker the handle the more challenging the exercise will be
I particularly like using the kettlebell swing for training grip endurance over longer sets of swings.
Start a grip workout: Work up to 60 seconds of swings on each arm before setting the kettlebell back down on the floor.
Watch the kettlebell one arm swing exercise below:
4 Kettlebell Clean
The kettlebell clean will challenge your grip strength during the bottom part of the exercise.
As the kettlebell drops from the racked position down towards the floor you will have to squeeze tightly to prevent the kettlebell from escaping as you reverse the movement.
The kettlebell clean is based on the deadlift movement pattern so you should be able to lift some nice heavy loads which is excellent for overloading the grip.
Again, the thicker the kettlebell handle and heavier the load the more challenging the exercise will be.
Go heavy for more explosive heavy grip training.
Start a grip workout: Try one of my favourite clean workouts, perform as many kettlebell cleans as possible in 60 seconds. 30 reps is your target.
Learn more: Stop banging your wrists and clean like a pro
Watch the kettlebell clean exercise below:
5 Kettlebell Bottoms Up Clean
The bottoms up kettlebell clean is a more technical exercise but great for working the grip in a different way.
Perform the kettlebell clean in the usual way but this time allow the kettlebell to drift upside down at the top position.
Keep your elbow tucked in and see how long you can maintain the bottoms up position before you have to take the kettlebell back down to the floor again.
Beginners will really work hard in the top position as they improve their body alignment in order to keep the kettlebell upside down. The more experienced will find this exercise more of technical balancing act.
Unlike the regular kettlebell clean the bottoms up clean will challenge the grip twice, once at the top of the exercise and again at the bottom.
Start a grip workout: Practice the bottoms up clean with various different weights, work up to 10 reps holding for as long as possible in the top position.

Watch the kettlebell bottoms up clean exercise below:
6 Kettlebell High Pulls
The kettlebell high pulls exercise works the grip both in the bottom part of the swing and also in a more technical way at the top.
At the bottom part of the high pull the kettlebell swings in between your legs and will try to escape from your grip.
During the top portion of the high pull your grip must stay strong to prevent the kettlebell handle from rotating through your hand.
Care should be exercised during this movement because at the top position the beginner can easily lose control of the kettlebell. A high elbow and good alignment from the handle through to the elbow are important.
As with all these exercises the thicker the handle and the heavier the kettlebell the more challenging the exercise will be for your grip.
Start a grip workout: Practice and progress to 60 seconds of high pulls on each arm
Discover more: Master the kettlebell high pull exercise
Watch the kettlebell high pulls exercise below:
7 Kettlebell Snatch
The kettlebell snatch exercise is not only a superb full body exercise but also very challenging for your grip too.
As with the kettlebell swing and high pulls exercise the kettlebell tries to escape the grip due to the momentum of the swinging kettlebell.
The kettlebell snatch challenges the grip even further as the kettlebell is thrown from the top position outwards increasing its momentum and load.
You can work both your grip endurance through longer high rep cycles or your grip strength through heavier shorter workouts.
Start a grip workout: Try the 10 minute snatch challenge. Perform as many snatches as possible in 10 minutes changing hands as many times as you wish but never putting the kettlebell down. Your goal is 200+ reps.

Watch the kettlebell snatch exercise below:
Conclusion to Kettlebell Grip Strength Exercises
Strengthening your grip in a variety of ways with kettlebells can help you to: fix forearm and elbow issues, improve sports performance, and increase your overall lifting strength.
As we get older our grip strength starts to deteriorate so working on your grip is something that all of us should address at some point.
Kettlebell training has a huge amount of benefits and improving your grip strength is only one of them.
I hope you have found this useful.

City of Saskatoon
The City of Saskatoon reported 4,587 sales in 2022, a 15 per cent decline over last year’s record high but over 12 per cent higher than 10-year trends. Supply continues to be a challenge, as new listings have eased significantly and were 14 per cent below long-term averages in 2022. Meanwhile, inventory levels eased even further, resulting in average supply levels 31 per cent below long-term trends.
While a pullback in sales relative to inventory levels in the second half of the year did allow the months of supply to rise, the market remains far tighter than what we would traditionally see in Saskatoon. On an annual basis, benchmark prices rose nearly five per cent over 2021 levels.

It is critical to pay baristas and staff from a place of generosity. We like to say "Pay what you can, not what you can get away with". In many cases though there is a lack of knowledge of how to manage income once it is paid. If we want to pay our staff a living wage then I believe we should also help provide some help on how to manage it.
On today's shift break we will be talking about the issue of financial mismanagement of wages and how operators can equip their staff have a healthy view of and handle on their income leading to a better quality of life.

What to Expect at Unwind Indoor Play Cafe: Review
When you enter the play cafe, you’ll head straight to the counter to purchase your tickets and socks. If you have been before, you can bring along the socks from your first visit to save you a few bucks. The play area is open to kids 7 years old and younger, so keep that in mind before your visit.
At the counter, you can also purchase yummy snacks and treats while your kids get their wristbands and head through the gate to play. The entire play area is visible from the cafe area, or you can find a seat inside that’s comfortable.
The Playground Area
Let’s just say this playground is truly Instagram-worthy! The main playground features a climbing tunnel and twisty slide that my daughters loved going down over and over into the ball pit below. The ball pit is filled with hundreds of balls, so your kids can play along the ground and make ball snow angels if that’s their vibe. The area is lined with soft padded seating, making it easy for parents to sit along the edges and interact with their kids.
The Sensory Floor
This was my favorite! They have an entire section covered in sensory flooring. It’s like the floor is colorful lava that you can press and watch the colors morph. You will also see several Rody ride-on horses here, a color-changing wall, and several other things your kids (and you!) can enjoy playing with.
A Section Just for Babies!
Thankfully, Unwind wanted to make sure babies had a separate, safe section to play. There are developmentally appropriate climbing toys and soft blocks to enjoy. Parents can sit around the edges and watch their little ones explore without worrying that a big kid will come along and bump them.
If you head toward the front corner of the play area, you’ll find a huge sandbox. The sand in the box is so soft, and my tactile toddler loved running her hands through the sand. You can get into the sandbox if you would like, but there is also space in front where parents can hang out and chat. Unwind has utility brushes right outside of the sandbox where you can brush down your kid’s clothes and feet so that they do not track sand to the other areas.
The Climbing Wall
In the back corner, there is a climbing wall I couldn’t keep my four-year-old out of. She loved it! The wall has rock climbing grips so your kids can climb and then jump into a pit of foam blocks. If you have younger kids, just be mindful of the bigger kids jumping off the walls onto them.
Cost of Admission and Hours
Passes for Unwind Indoor Play Cafe are $12.99 per hour of play. Two adults are free per child. You will need to purchase socks if you do not already have Unwind-branded socks. Parents are required to fill out a waiver online or in person before their child can play.
The play cafe is open Monday through Friday from 9 am – 6 pm, Saturday from 9 am – 7 pm, and Sunday from 1 pm to 5 pm.
The Cafe at Unwind
It wouldn’t be a play & cafe without delicious snacks! The cafe has several options for prepackaged snacks, coffee, a selection of lattes, hot chocolate, tea, and a variety of drinks. They occasionally have some yummy items like empanadas, tequenos, and sweet treats like cheesecake and milhojas. If you forget your kid’s snacks, they have items like veggie straws and juice. There are several tables throughout the venue to eat your snacks.
Looking for a place to host your kid’s next birthday? Unwind has several birthday party packages to choose from. Prices range from $350 for a party rental room, to $1500 if you would like to rent out the entire venue. Party packages do not include play passes, so keep that in mind when budgeting your party. Contact Unwind directly if you have any questions or concerns before your next party!
Things to Know Before You Go
- There are bathrooms at the venue, so no need to worry if you need to rush your potty-training toddler to the restroom.
- The weekends are popular, and it gets very busy. This means that older kids may be running around, so keep that in mind if you want to put your baby in the ball pit.
- If you live in the area, monthly memberships to Unwind Indoor Play Cafe are available and could save you money if you plan to attend regularly.
- Outside food is prohibited.
- Parents must stay with their children as the play area is not equipped for drop-off childcare.

Side Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiation
What Is Cancer?
Cancer happens when cells divide and multiply much faster than most normal cells. Uncontrolled cell growth can lead to masses of cancer cells called tumors, or to a situation where healthy cells are crowded out and can no longer do their jobs well.
What Are Side Effects?
Chemotherapy (or "chemo") and radiation therapy are the two most common types of cancer treatment. They work by destroying these fast-growing cells. But other types of fast-growing healthy cells (such as blood cells and hair cells) also can be damaged along with cancer cells, causing adverse reactions, or side effects.
Side effects can range from tiredness and nausea to hair loss and blood clotting problems. Because each person responds a little differently to treatment and it's hard for doctors to predict exactly how the body will react, they'll closely watch someone who is being treated for cancer. Doctors weigh the amount and severity of side effects against the benefits of treatments.
Fortunately, most side effects are temporary. As the body's normal cells recover, these problems start to go away. There are also good supportive treatments that can lessen the side effects.
Side effects vary:
- Some can be merely unpleasant, while others can be much more serious.
- Some show up right away, while others develop over time.
- Some teens have just a few, while others have many over the course of treatment.
What Are Common Side Effects of Chemo and Radiation?
Chemo and radiation cause similar side effects. Chemo is a general term for a wide variety of medicines used to treat cancer. Chemo's side effects depend on the type of drug used, the dosage, and a person's overall health. These effects are more likely to affect the whole body.
Radiation's side effects tend to affect the area being treated. But they do still depend on the dose of radiation given, the location on the body, and whether the radiation was internal or external.
Here are some of the side effects associated with these cancer treatments, and how to manage them:
Tiredness (or fatigue) is the most common side effect of both chemotherapy and radiation. Even the most active teens are likely to find themselves exhausted and perhaps even a little "foggy-headed" during treatment — and possibly for a while afterward. This is normal. Scale back on activities and rest as much as possible. When treatment is over, your energy should return.
Some chemo drugs cause headaches, muscle pains, stomach pains, or even temporary nerve damage that can result in burning, numbness, or tingling in the hands and feet. If this happens, your doctor can prescribe medicines that can help. Never use over-the-counter or herbal medicines without your doctor's OK, though, as these can interact with the chemo drugs.
Mouth, Gum, and Throat Sores
Both chemo and radiation (specifically to the head and neck) can lead to mouth sores, sensitive gums, an irritated throat, and an increased risk of tooth decay. The doctor may prescribe a mouth rinse or pain medicine to help with symptoms. Soft, cool foods might be easier for you to eat, and it's best to avoid high-acid foods and juices (like oranges or tomatoes) during times of soreness. Regular dental checkups are important too, but talk to your doctor before going to the dentist to make sure it's a safe time to go.
Many types of chemo drugs are known to cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, constipation, or diarrhea. Medicines can prevent or ease a lot of these symptoms. It's also common for teens to find that their taste preferences change while on chemo (like being unable to tolerate some smells or textures, for example).
If you don't have much of an appetite, try eating several small servings of something rather than three large meals. Also concentrate on keeping yourself hydrated with water, juices, and broths.
Gastrointestinal symptoms related to radiation tend not to be as severe as those brought on by chemo, except in people who get radiation to the pelvis or abdomen.
Chemo drugs can cause rashes, redness, and other types of skin irritation — especially if you had radiation before the chemo (this is called "radiation recall"). Radiation alone can cause similar symptoms, along with blisters, peeling, and swelling in the treatment area.
Wearing loose, soft cotton clothing may help with the discomfort. Your doctor might also recommend or prescribe creams or ointments. Because the affected area can be more sensitive to the sun for a while after treatment, always wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 whenever you go outdoors.
Some people might have weight loss or weight gain. It's common for those taking steroids to have an increased appetite and gain weight in unusual places, like the cheeks or back of the neck. Others might have decreased appetites or trouble keeping food down (especially if they're feeling nauseated after chemo).
If you're concerned about your weight, talk to the doctor about how to maintain a healthy weight based on your medical needs. Working with the dietician on your treatment team will help.
During chemo, hair thinning and hair loss may happen all over the body. Radiation therapy to the head and neck may cause hair loss in that area, but radiation anywhere else will not cause the hair on the head to fall out.
Though some teens take hair loss in stride, others find it upsetting. Know that your hair will grow back — though it might be a slightly different color or texture. In the meantime, some people choose to wear baseball hats, bandanas, scarves, or wigs.
Before treatment, some teens get shorter haircuts, as it can be easier to watch shorter strands of hair fall rather than long ones.
Kidney and Bladder Problems
Some chemo drugs can affect the kidneys and bladder. Frequent blood tests will help doctors monitor kidney function. Staying well hydrated can help. Tell the doctor if you have blood in your urine or any problems peeing.
Chemotherapy drugs and radiation can destroy all types of healthy blood cells and harm the body's production of new ones. Low levels of red blood cells (the cells that carry oxygen) can lead to anemia, which causes tiredness, paleness, shortness of breath, and a fast heartbeat.
Frequent blood draws throughout treatment will monitor the levels of these cells. Often, people need blood transfusions during chemo.
Blood Clotting Problems
Platelets are cells that help blood to clot. They also can be affected during cancer treatment, especially chemo. Low platelets (thrombocytopenia) can lead to bleeding. This may cause bruising; small red spots on the skin (called petechiae); bloody or black bowel movements or vomit; or bleeding from the nose, gums, or line site (the area where fluids and medicines are given to people with cancer).
People with a low platelet count have to take it easy to reduce the risk of bleeding. That means avoiding rough play and contact sports (like football), and brushing with a soft toothbrush and flossing very gently. In very serious cases of thrombocytopenia, a person might need a transfusion of platelets.
White blood cells (WBCs) also can be low during or after cancer treatment. WBCs called neutrophils help fight infection. Having too few can put someone at increased risk of serious infection, a condition called neutropenia. A fever can be a sign of serious infection, so tell your doctor right away if you get one.
Teens with neutropenia need to take special precautions against germs. They should wash their hands well and often, especially before eating, after using the bathroom, and after touching animals. But they also need to avoid crowded indoor places or visiting with friends or family members who have contagious illnesses (such as a cold, the flu, or chickenpox).
To prevent food-borne infection, people with neutropenia shouldn't eat raw seafood, undercooked meat, or eggs.
Because their immune systems are weak, people with cancer (especially those with neutropenia) can't fight off bacteria and other germs that enter the body. So a seasonal virus or infection that seems minor can quickly turn into a life-threatening infection.
Signs of infection include fever or chills, coughing or congestion, vomiting or diarrhea, and pain (perhaps in the ears, throat, belly, or head, or pain when going to the bathroom). Or there might be redness, swelling, pain, or oozing on the skin or around the line site.
If you get any of these symptoms, especially a fever, contact your doctor right away.
How Long Do Side Effects Last?
Most side effects start to go away after cancer treatment ends and the healthy cells have a chance to grow again. How long this takes typically on a person's overall health and the types and amounts of drugs and/or radiation they had.
Sometimes, though, cancer treatment can cause lasting changes to a growing body. These long-term side effects (called late effects) can include damage to the heart, lungs, brain, nerves, kidneys, thyroid gland, or reproductive organs. In some cases, kids and teens who've had some types of chemotherapy have a higher risk for a second type of cancer later in life.
Before treatment, the doctor will talk to you about your risk of late effects and what precautions can be taken before treatment, if any. For example, some teens who undergo treatments that have fertility risks can take preventive measures like egg or sperm preservation.
What Else Should I Know?
Cancer treatment has come a long way. But it can be hard to cope with the sometimes painful or uncomfortable side effects. Fortunately, doctors have many ways to make treatments easier to manage.
You also might feel the emotional effects of having a serious illness. Talk with your parents and your care team. A hospital support group, child life specialist, social worker, or psychologist from the care team can help you before, during, and after your cancer treatment.

Building a Personal Work Vision and Creating an Execution Pathway
Today, the focus is on the concepts of Process and Journey, two important concepts of life. Work can be described as an activity that constitutes your daily livelihood. However, work on its own, is meaningless and becomes mere activity if it is not purposeful or appealing to your core human desires. If you have ever worked in an organization where your work does not echo your essence, your desires, your cravings and what you really want to do, you may understand how it feels to spend every day of your precious life doing unfulfilling work. Or maybe you are that person who began running their business solely because you wanted something to do? This might also resound with you.
Meriam Webster Dictionary defines Work as a job or activity that you do regularly especially in order to earn money. Free Dictionary defines it as a physical or mental effort or activity directed toward the production or accomplishment of something. All these definitions say something about work being an activity, that you do daily and it sure has an end to it.
I have come to realize that it is in work that man finds fulfilment. Whatever you do to give expression to your abilities and fulfil your desires either as an employees or a business owner is a form of work. Now, what really should matter to you is your response to the question, “Am I purposeful about what I am doing at this time?” While working, do you have a goal in mind or are you just working to survive? You need to determine if there is a method to what you do. Is there a desire you want to fulfil, an inner craving or a goal?
* Work itself is not the problem, you can do anything and exert your effort on it. However, to align with your life’s purpose, your work must matter to you. Doing work that matters to you is the real deal.
#TheRealDeal – Giving meaningful expression to your work by doing what your heart craves to do, fulfilling what you desire to see.
Evaluate what you currently do. Your work, is it mere work, or something you really are passionate about? Do you have dreams about achieving great things with your work? If you have not answered this question, you are merely exerting your energy to put food on your table and pay your bills. In the long run, what will matter is the satisfaction that you get from doing your work.
So how do you create a personal work vision?
” Vision is what sets you apart from the pack. It defines your path and helps you develop a sense of priority. The personal work vision is your individual operating system. It stems from what is important to you – your values and principles, what sets you on fire every day and makes you get up each morning to go to work. In creating your work vision, you discover you.
* Self discovery is a process and it is a journey. It happens to us every day. Know that your level of self-awareness at every stage will help you in determining where to go in the future.
So, you can begin to create your personal work vision right from where you are right now in life.
* To discover yourself, go to the Scriptures. In the process of self-discovery, you will discover purpose.
“Your revealed person points you to your life purpose”.
When you discover purpose, it is easy for you to decide what career to choose. And believe me, everything suddenly becomes unmistakeable at this point. You begin to see possibilities influenced by your consecration to purpose. The journey becomes clearer and you have a sure knowing and a desire that tells you what lies ahead of you in the days or years to come
* So, begin to write down your vision every day. Write it down – what you see, what you desire, what you are imagining, your cravings – get them all on paper. A written vision is easily executed.
* Have a development plan in order to build capacity. Desires are what they are until you are able to get them done.
Build emotional capacity – your ability to stay focused when you’re not getting the desired result, as well as your ability to relate well with people.
Build intellectual capacity – It is a time to gather knowledge and be an expert in your chosen field. Invest in yourself in every way possible. Leverage free and paid learning opportunities – seminars, coaching programs, conferences, structured training programs, MOOCs etc.
* Build mental capacity – A time where what you know is being utilized towards getting a desired result. Train your brain to do and know more.
* In execution, aside having a plan and building capacity, while in that process, render service. Volunteer, help someone. Use someone else’s need as an opportunity to give your ability and potential some expression. If no one gives you the platform for expression, create one, pick yourself and begin to see the end in mind. Keep talking about and reviewing your plan and vision.
As you execute an item, tick it off. In creating a platform for yourself, utilize the social media platforms, get your work out there, get noticed and keep doing.
* Get a mentor and build a network of trusted friends to whom you can voice your vision and plans all the time.
Lastly, always remember that while you work, it must be because you are fulfilling purpose in God and to humanity.
Frederick Buechner says “The place God calls you to, is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.

Open any interior design magazine these days and you are sure to spot wallpaper as the latest trend in home design. Decorating today is all about the layering of texture with wallpaper and is replacing the painted feature wall, and it's not expected to go away anytime soon.
Some of this is partly due to the recent revival of Florence Broadhurst designs, the eccentric and talented Australian designer for her hand-printed wallpapers. Her designs can currently be found in the Glamor, Flora, Blueprints, and Concepts Collections, and are matched by no other designer. Her furnishings and wallpapers are also in high demand worldwide at the moment due to their unique and luxurious patterns.
Broadhurst combined fuscia pinks, lemon yellows, lime greens, vivid oranges, turquoise, blacks, metallic silvers and gold – all perfectly matching her own flamboyant personality. She was also well known for printing onto transparent Mylars, foils and metallic papers. She called her revolutionary hand-printed creations; vigorous designs for modern living '.
Adding wallpaper to your home is a great way to create atmosphere in a room, often all it takes is one wall of an interesting and vivid design and it will prove to be a talking point for anyone visiting your home.
Wallpaper also has the added advantage that if your walls are far from perfect then a thicker textured paper can be a cheaper option of covering up the bumps and cracks that normal paint just can not hide.
There are some particularly interesting wallpaper patterns and textures at the moment. Retro prints have made a comeback but in a classier and subtler style than the first time around, whilst for the more adventures amongst you then how about fake fur? Oriental prints, metallic geometrics, flocked wallpapers are available, and for the natural look there are papers that mimic the look of natural grasses and botanical prints. Some totally new ideas feature metal sheeting and wood veneer.
You can add wallpaper to a room to lift an outdated look or give it a splash of color. Decide for yourself whether to use it as a feature, or on all the walls to create a theme within your home. It can even be hung as you would a piece of art. It is all down to your own personal taste and likes.
Metallics have made a return for winter 2009, try teaming them with cream, black and silver for wall finishes such as wallpaper, as well as upholstery and bed linens. Greens and browns are firmly established but watery hues will be the colors to watch for, having made their mark on the fashion scene. For a chic take, try down gray with powder blue and crisp glossy white.
If you have scoured the shops and searched online but can not find anything you really like then it's always possible to get wallpaper custom made to your own design. Just look online for wallpaper companies that will work with you on your design idea and transform it into wallpaper; you can be creative and combine latest trends and arriving design with your own personal ideas.
You can always buy plain wallpaper that simply needs painting. This is easy to fit with your present décor and furnishings and can be painted over again and again as often as you like. Paintable wallpaper comes in a range of patterns and textured finishes.
Some people like to hang wallpaper for themselves. However if you are not very skilled in the do-it-yourself department and do not have a lot of patience then it can be a lot easier to hire a professional to do the job for you. Wallpaper has to be hung correctly and lined up correctly otherwise it will look a total mess and will have to be stripped and started all over again. Professionals will hang the wallpaper using a liner underneath which prevails the paper from curling at the edges. When hung correctly, your wallpaper should keep its condition condition at least ten to fifteen years. | <urn:uuid:f9de6061-f5bf-45b2-9f16-18d56197d5e4> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://kirpi4ik.dp.ua/add-wallpaper-to-your-interior-design-project.html | 2024-02-27T23:58:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.959579 | 804 |

El Paso City Council Changes Name Of Robert E. Lee Road
The Civil War was fought over 150 years ago, but the fallout from that war is still being felt in 2020. The names of Confederate War officers have been on schools, roads, and military installations all over the United States ever since the war ended, but with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, monuments are coming down and the names of those officers on public buildings and posts are being questioned.
At their regular meeting today, El Paso City Council chose to rename a stretch of road in the east-central part of town that was named for the general who led the Confederate troops. City reps have changed the name of Robert E. Lee Road which runs from Gateway Boulevard West to Montana Avenue near Airway to Buffalo Soldiers Road.
The last time the name change was considered was in 2017 after a white supremacist killed a protester during the Charlottesville demonstrations. The name of the part of the road was changed to Buffalo Soldier Road in 2014 by Fort Bliss officials. Buffalo Soldiers is the nickname given to the all African American 9th Calvary.
the El Paso Independent School District Board of Trustees announced last week that they are looking into possibly changing the name of Robert E. Lee Elementary School in the northeast. They haven't given a timeline for that proposed name change.
I think this is an important move for our city. The Confederacy fought a war against the Union and they lost. The Confederate States of America is a vanquished nation and their name and symbols have no place on government owned land. | <urn:uuid:0140f30a-508c-4d16-9770-e4ec680ddbaf> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://kisselpaso.com/el-paso-city-council-changes-name-of-robert-e-lee-road/ | 2024-02-28T00:20:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.969511 | 314 |
10 Mouthwatering Brunch Spots to Celebrate Mom on Mother’s Day in El Paso
Mother's Day is one of the more brunchy holiday occasions on the calendar.
Luckily for the brunch-loving mom in your life, El Paso has a lot of great brunch spots that offer a variety of tasty takes on traditional brunch fares and some that present a more elevated, upscale take on the late-morning meal.
So, for the purposes of this list, I had Yelp aggregate the most popular brunch restaurants in the area based on user ratings.
Below, in no particular order, are the top 10 places the online foodie brigade recommends you treat mom for all the wonderful things she is.
And, word to the wise; if the place takes reservations I'd make one in advance. You don't want to keep mom waiting.
Taft Díaz - 209 N Stanton
If your mom is an adventurous eater and you want to make mom feel fancy take her to Taft Diaz inside the Stanton House Hotel downtown. Not only is it swanky, but it’s also praised and applauded for its innovative menu.
The Kitchen at 150 Sunset - 150 E Sunset Rd
Known and loved for its brunch, The Kitchen at 150 Sunset is across from The Substation where the popular "Greeting from El Paso" mural is.
Tucked inside a plant nursery and events venue, The Kitchen made Yelp’s 9th annual Top 100 US Restaurants list for its “creative omelets, pancakes, and sandwiches.”
Grove Brunch Cafe - 7470 Cimarron Market/12040 Tierra Este
Savage Goods – 1201 N. Oregon
Salt + Honey Bakery Café - 801 N Piedras
Crave Kitchen and Bar - 2260 N Zaragoza
A brunch hot spot and a local favorite. Eat This Not That!, a leading health and wellness brand, named their pancakes best in Texas.
Lola Rose - 7470 Cimarron Market
Vincent & Melo’s Craft House - 1691 N Zaragoza
CoCol Cafe - 10180 Socorro Rd in Socorro
D.H. Lescombes Winery & Bistro - 1720 Avenida de Mesilla in Old Mesilla
D. H. Lescombes was also named one of the Top 100 U.S. Restaurants. The bistro is an elegant, but low-key restaurant that serves amazing food and its wines are top-notch.
The restaurant has been around since the 1980s, but the family has been making wine for six generations | <urn:uuid:e7083da5-6b9f-4049-ab4e-a4c325135c69> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://kisselpaso.com/top-mothers-day-brunch-el-paso/ | 2024-02-27T23:05:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.920847 | 547 |
The Ninja Foodi is the perfect appliance for those who love crispy food. It’s an air fryer and pressure cooker in one, but it can also do things like make cakes or French fries with its specialties settings!
Use Air Crisp in Ninja Foodi?
If you’ve always wanted to cook your food in the Instant Pot without having it be too crispy, then this is an appliance for you. The people at SharkNinja created their Ninja Foodi which can do both pressure cooking and air frying! Now that I think about it- we should get one ASAP because there’s no time like now before they sell out of these babies…
The Ninja Foodi is one of the bestselling kitchen appliance with excellent function. So far I’ve only used my own stand-alone air fryer before getting this product but now that we have introduced each other to them both separately through trial runs, using different cooking methods like pressure frying browning meats on top or crispiness by heating until golden. Further dropping them into boiling water so they stay fresh longer than traditional fried foods.
I also love how easy clean up can get with it because there are no oil burning when heated together.
The Air Crisp function of the Ninja Foodi is one of its best features! I have not tried using an air fryer before, so this was new territory for me. One thing that surprised me about the process was how well pressure cooking works with it—I could crisp my meat or make sure there wasn’t any greasy residue on top by browning under heat afterwards.
To be completely honest, I had my doubts about air frying. That’s why I never bought one until now and can’t believe how much better it is to cook with than oil or butter! My first test of cooking wings in the Ninja Foodi was stellar – they came out crispy as ever without burning which has been an issue for me before with other methods.
I must say though…those Asian Sticky Wings are just too good, try them at least once while enjoying this amazing machine.
I never thought that air frying would be a good idea until I got this Ninja Foodi. It does an amazing job at making crispy wings, and now my family can’t get enough of them!
I had heard some bad stories about other people’s experiences with trying it out- but once these Asian Sticky Wings were made using their special “crisp” setting on the fryer—they proved me wrong totally.
A question I get a lot is when to use the basket and which one is for what function. There are so many different baskets in foodi’s line-up, but if you want your fried or steamed item browned on all sides then it’s best with this particular design!
Mentioning air fryers here as well – always make sure there’s circulation under that little round thingy at bottom (diverter).
A question I also get a lot is when to use the basket versus rack. In my future article, you’ll see that this can depend on your food and appliance!
I always recommend using an upside-down plate with baskets meant for cooking in air fryers or steam tables because they help cook bottom while also preventing spills from dripping onto other foods below it (or directly onto yourself).
I love using my basket for air frying, but the rack is better if you need a smaller dish. I like how it distributes heat more evenly and can cook larger foods without them getting stuck on one side or cooking too quickly before other parts are done.
I absolutely recommend using an electric air fryer instead of gas because they have safety features that prevent accidents from happening while cooking – in case you use oven then just make sure to wear oven mitts when handling hot metal utensils after use!
The basket is a great way to air fry food. However, the rack can also be useful if you don’t want your dish touching any of those hot oil drums below it (or next door). For example: whole chickens are much more evenly cooked on racks than in baskets due their size – especially when they’re large-sized! | <urn:uuid:acb967f9-7ae6-4648-a77c-cfe782e2b965> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://kitchensgismo.com/how-to-use-air-crisp-in-ninja-foodi/ | 2024-02-28T00:08:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.960611 | 878 |

The Forgotten Serial Killer
Little is known about the Chameleon, Stephen Morin, who is suspected of killing over 30 people, but hardly anyone has heard his name.
Stephen Peter Morin was born on the 19th February 1951 in Providence, Rhode Island. He left school early, quickly developing a drug habit and a penchant for getting into trouble with the law.
At 15 years old, Morin was arrested in Florida for stealing a car, for which he served a two-year sentence. In 1972, he stole another vehicle and was found in possession of LSD. For these crimes, he was sentenced to five years’ probation.
In 1976, he moved to San Francisco, where he constantly changed his identity and found work as a mechanic. This year he was also arrested in San Rafael, California, for possession of a syringe and resisting arrest. However, he only was sentenced to a year of probation because he used a fake identity.
In September of the same year, Morin abducted, raped and tortured a 14-year-old girl. From this point, he was added to the FBI’s most-wanted list.
Morin’s next move was to Las Vegas, Nevada, under the alias Robert Ireland. Here, he met his future wife, a schoolteacher named Sylvia. While visiting Sylvia’s family in Connecticut, Morin toured Yale University’s library to search the obituaries for men who were of similar ages and appearance to him. He then obtained a birth certificate for one of these men, Robert Generoso, planning to keep it as a fake identity for a later date.
Shortly after, he was arrested in Pleasanton, California, for pulling a gun on two men during an argument. Morin gave another alias to police and was released from jail on $500 bail, pending trial.
In January 1980, Morin abducted 19-year-old Susan Belote. Her body was found months later in Utah, but she wouldn’t be identified straight away.
In June 1980, Cheryl Daniels was shot dead by Morin. She’d dated him under the alias Andrew Ireland. Her body was found six months later in the Utah desert. However, this time, Morin has dropped a bank card next to her body. | <urn:uuid:44b78bd2-0b18-4c64-922b-68be1c94269a> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://klakstrom.medium.com/the-forgotten-serial-killer-1007e0aa9acc?source=author_recirc-----c3d8c0ab8887----1---------------------5ee44f70_04a4_46a3_9a4b_4ca27c85ddcb------- | 2024-02-27T23:26:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.987308 | 474 |
Troy Andersen Gets Selected in Second Round of NFL Draft
After all the anticipation, one of the best Bobcat football players to ever play has been drafted to the NFL.
The 2022 NFL Draft is currently underway with Day 2, and one Montana State player has heard his name called. Linebacker Troy Andersen, rated as one of the Top 5 linebackers in the draft, has been picked up in the second round by the Atlanta Falcons with the 58th pick.
Troy Andersen has had a storied career at Montana State University. Troy has been a four-year starter for the football team and has played quarterback, running back, and linebacker during his tenure. For the past few years, he has been focusing on playing inside linebacker, and the decision has paid off.
Troy Andersen has been one of the most productive linebackers in Montana State history and is a player opposing teams had to gameplan against. This past season, Troy Andersen was the runner-up for the Buck Buchanan Award, which is the nation's top defensive player.
The Atlanta Falcons needed help desperately on the defensive side, and haven't had a strong defensive presence for a few years. Troy Andersen can step in right away as a Day 1 starter. His length and athleticism should help defend against the NFC South's explosive offensives.
We are so proud to see Troy Andersen represent, not only Montana State football, but the whole state of Montana. It will be great to see another homegrown kid play at the professional level on Sundays coming this fall.
Way to go Troy! We will be cheering you on!

The Extension of the 2025 Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition Targets to 2030
With sustained global commitment, progress on childhood stunting, overweight, wasting, exclusive breastfeeding, low birth weight, and anaemia in women of reproductive age needs to continue towards the goal to “end all forms of malnutrition.” These six nutrition targets endorsed by the WHA for 2025 encompass many, although admittedly not all, of the main nutrition issues throughout the life cycle. The formulation of the nutrition targets for 2030 can build on those, considering new available information since their endorsement by Member States in 2012. In the present paper, the proposed extension of the targets to 2030 for stunting is based on the projection of the required progress rate between 2012 and 2025 extended five more years. For anaemia and low birth weight, a re-analysis of trends called for keeping the same target as proposed for 2025. For exclusive breastfeeding, increased ambition beyond the rate of progress between 2012 and 2025 was proposed and for wasting and overweight, the goal of elimination to a level of no concern (prevalence less than 3%) is considered feasible. | <urn:uuid:7a668bca-8aec-4cff-962c-503fa7470e39> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://knowledge.unicef.org/resource/extension-2025-maternal-infant-and-young-child-nutrition-targets-2030 | 2024-02-28T00:18:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.943727 | 226 |

What are some things you should know about this? Read on for more information 0n What is Maternity Allowance.
Maternity Allowance is a type of benefit that many employers offer to their female employees. The allowance typically covers the period in which the mother has taken maternity leave, and what she would have been paid had she not been out on leave. It is also sometimes referred to as Maternity Benefit or Maternity Pay.
It will depend on what your employer offers: Not all companies provide this form of income replacement. If they do, it’s often part of an insurance plan managed by an outside company so there may be different rules from what would apply if your state offered its own paid family leave program.
In addition, to pay, you might get other benefits while you’re out on maternity leave. For example, some companies may allow you to accrue benefits such as sick time and vacation.
You should also be aware that what your employer offers might affect what state or federal programs can provide for you: If the company does not offer a certain type of insurance policy (for instance, if they don’t have an LTD plan), then those other types of plans cannot cover you either.
It’s also important to note whether there is a waiting period before any income replacement kicks in: For example, many states require six weeks before employment before unemployment will pay anything towards a maternity allowance claim. There are sometimes shorter periods mandated by family leave laws but this varies from state to so it would be best to check what your state’s requirements are.
What week do you need maternity pants?
Maternity wear is going to be a very important part of your wardrobe over the next few months. At around 12-16 weeks, I would recommend that most women invest in some larger sized clothing such as Maternity Jeans or Leggings & Sweatpants for comfort when getting dressed and lounging at home.
As well it’s nice to have something other than loose-fitting cotton panties from now on! Other items include a stretchy nursing bra (for obvious reasons) and a long line non-underwire Bra if you plan on wearing anything strapless this summer/fall.
Can a company not pay maternity leave?
Yes, some companies do not pay women maternity leave.
What should I do if my baby has jaundice after leaving the hospital?
You will likely receive a follow-up appointment days later. If they continue to look yellow at this time you’ll want to call your paediatrician immediately! Where can I go if I’m worried about my child’s development milestones? It’s always best advice speak with your doctor, who is familiar with normal growth and development in children before bringing up any concerns.
What are the most common causes of fever in children?
Fever is a symptom, not an illness itself. Fever might be caused by many different viruses or bacteria that can cause other symptoms as well, such as a sore throat or ear pain.
What should I do if my child has had diarrhoea for more than three days?
Contact your paediatrician to see if they need antibiotics. If there’s blood present you’ll want to go directly to the hospital!
How long does it take for newborns eyesight to develop?
Newborn babies cannot see very clearly until about six weeks after birth and their vision continues developing until around age four years old.
When should we start giving our baby solid food? We recommend waiting at least six months after they are born. You can start with rice cereal or other grain-based foods and work your way up to fruits, vegetables, meats, etc.
When should I get my child vaccinated?
Children should receive vaccinations against measles (MMR), polio, diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis (DTaP) between 12 months and 15 months of age. If you’re unsure about when shots were given just give the paediatrician a call! They’ll be able to check their records for you if need be.
If your baby is sick do not bring them into public places unless necessary because this puts others at risk for contracting an illness as well! We recommend keeping infants home until they have finished their vaccinations.
There are plenty of myths surrounding vaccines that simply aren’t true, like autism or mercury poisoning! Learn the facts about vaccines and how they work before making any decisions regarding them.
Vaccines save lives by keeping us healthy and reducing outbreaks in our communities so it’s important to remain up-to-date on your shots! If you have questions feel free to ask a paediatrician for more information.
When should I get my child vaccinated? Children should receive vaccinations against measles (MMR), polio, diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis (DTaP) between 12 months and 15 months of age. If you’re unsure about when shots were given just give the paediatrician a call!
What is the second trimester of pregnancy?
The second trimester starts at 14 weeks and lasts until 27 weeks. During this time, you can expect to get a lot more energy than during your first trimester, but also may experience some fatigue.
When should you start prenatal care?
Prenatal care helps support healthy fetal development and prepare for birth. You need to establish it as soon as possible before 20 weeks gestation because an early diagnosis benefits both mother and baby by preventing complications in future pregnancies.
If not established before the 20th week, we recommend establishing within 12 months after delivery or termination of pregnancy (abortion). The period from conception up to implantation is when most miscarriages occur so waiting longer means a greater risk for complications.
Why do you put a pillow between your legs when pregnant?
There are many reasons why you might want to put a pillow between your legs when pregnant. For example, in the last trimester, it’s common for women to experience pain or cramping in their lower back which could be helped by this position. It can also help relieve some pressure on her bladder!
If you have specific questions about things like this make sure to ask your doctor before doing anything because each pregnancy is different and they will know best how much activity is safe during that period.
What week do you start wearing maternity clothes?
It is not recommended to wear maternity clothes until you are at least four months pregnant.
What do I need for maternity?
Maternity clothes, of course! And some other good pieces that will help your wardrobe transition into the next phase of your life include a pair of skinny jeans and simple tops or dresses. | <urn:uuid:96b71fee-2e06-4f49-9598-c150deadbe30> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://krostrade.com/blog/what-is-maternity-allowance/ | 2024-02-27T22:55:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.955403 | 1,388 |
The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos have agreed on the trade of Seahawks star quarterback Russell Wilson. According to Tom Pelissero from the NFL Network, the two teams have agreed on a deal in principle, and the Broncos will give up a lot of draft picks and players to make it happen.
Broncos Give Up Five Draft Picks and Three Players
Sources close to the teams say that Seattle will send two first-round and two second-round picks, as well as one fifth-rounder. Broncos’ quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant and defensive tackle Shelby Harris will go the opposite direction too.
Teams are now waiting for all players involved to pass their medicals and Wilson to waive the no-trade clause in his contract. If that happens after the new league year begins, the deal will go ahead immediately. If things go smoother, and everything is concluded before March 16, the Denver Broncos will have to wait for the new league year to begin to get their quarterback.
Wilson is the Missing Piece in the Broncos’ Offensive Puzzle
The Broncos have quite the offensive lineup, and with Wilson coming in, they suddenly become a much stronger contender for the tightly contested AFC West.
The Denver-based side boasts accomplished wide receivers such as Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, and K.J. Hamler. The Broncos also have talented running back Javonte Williams and tight end Albert Okwuegbunam to complete an offensive lineup that can go toe to toe with the best teams in the league.
They were only a quarterback short of a squad that would be ready for the playoff, but now have that missing piece of the puzzle. Russell Wilson is a nine-time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl-winning quarterback that’s not just a massive coup for the Broncos but also puts them on a level footing with the best in AFC West.
What’s Next for the Seahawks?
But where does this trade leave the Seahawks? It was always clear that they didn’t have any plans to trade Wilson before the Broncos made their pitch. However, Denver’s offer was too good to turn down.
That means they now have to plan for the season ahead without their star quarterback. Drew Lock will be an option in the quarterback position but there’s no comparing the soon-to-be Seahawks quarterback with the one leaving for the Broncos.

3 questions for deciding if you should move abroad
Deciding to move abroad can sometimes be rather difficult. It could be a radical change in culture, lifestyle, and expectations. That is why you need to ask 3 questions for deciding if you should move abroad. We at Kokusai Express know that this process can be very difficult and stressful and that is why we are here to guide you. Keep reading our article to learn more about this topic.
One of the questions for deciding if you should move abroad is the reasons for moving
This is perhaps the most important question you need to ask yourself when moving out. Are the reasons valid enough to make such a high change? If so, then you are ready to go. Make sure to always have them in mind as a sort of driving force in your moving process. And for the move itself, try to rely on the help of professional movers when relocating from Japan. That way you can move without any problems and focus on what lies ahead.
The moving process is something that you need to plan and avoid any delays. And that is why in this situation, you will also have to think more about the place you are moving to. It is a good idea to know what to pay attention to when researching another state/town. This will surely help you settle in fast.
Are you comfortable moving to a different culture?
Once you know the reasons for the move, you will then have to think about how you will live in your new home. You need to think about all the possible culture shocks you might encounter. Also, you are probably moving to a place where you don’t know the language, or know it partially. You need to get ready for it and learn more. But, if you think that you will manage, then go for it! Just let your overseas shipping companies handle your items. You can then use all available time to learn more about the place you are moving to.
Are you moving to stay or to move around more
Sometimes when people move, they get to realize that their new home is not what they were looking for, and then they decide to move again. This can happen to you, so you need to get ready for this possibility as well. This is not something bad, it is completely OK to move to a place that suits you the most. Once you know that you are OK with it, you can get a moving service Japan to help you out with your move. It is a perfect opportunity to spend more time learning about the moving process and the place you are going to.
These are the most important questions for deciding if you should move abroad that can help you out with your move. We are certain that by now you know the answers to these questions and we are eager to help you out with your upcoming move.

The family courts in San Diego have the power to order custody and visitation orders for children during divorce proceedings, paternity proceedings, and ex parte hearings. In these cases, both parents can request custody and visitation orders, but in some cases, a mother and father may have different wishes. If the mother and father are not married, the unmarried parent must file a paternity case to obtain custody and visitation orders.
Joint Legal Custody
If you are divorcing your spouse and want to retain your child, you may want to consider joint legal custody. This type of custody arrangement allows both parents to have custody of their child, but you will have to pay close attention to the rights and responsibilities of the other parent. You also need to be considerate of your child’s best interests, and make sure that you maintain a healthy relationship with him or her. In addition, San Diego courts consider your child’s age, the community that the child attends, and the children’s preference. In some cases, your child may even be able to have a voice in the decision.
A divorce or separation can result in a decision regarding the custody and visitation of a child. The San Diego Family Court system can issue custody and visitation orders in divorce proceedings, paternity cases, and ex parte hearings. These proceedings are used to obtain custody and visitation orders during an extremely brief period of time. Unmarried parents must file for paternity cases to obtain custody and visitation orders, while married parents can use a divorce proceeding to get custody and visitation orders.
In the San Diego Family Court, you can have someone monitor your child’s visits while you’re in court. Typically, this is a friend or family member. If you can’t afford to hire a professional, a nonprofessional provider may be a good alternative. But be sure to research their qualifications before deciding on one. A provider must be certified in the specific areas of child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual abuse before he or she can supervise your visitation.
Child Arrangement Orders
A child’s time spent with one parent is a very important factor in a custody case. Child support in San Diego is another factor that can be impacted by a custody arrangement. Both parents must work to maintain a good relationship with their children. Fortunately, the courts in San Diego are willing to give the child time with both parents if that’s in the best interest of the child.
In California, you can get a court order for child support if you are a custodial parent. The terms of the order are determined by the court. Usually, child support is awarded to the parent who has primary custody of the children. Child support attorneys can play an important role in determining how much child support should be ordered. In some cases, your lawyer may be able to prove a hardship for you, resulting in lower child support payments. If you think you’re entitled to more money, you should get a consultation with a family law attorney today.
A legal separation can be a good option for many couples. The process allows a couple to continue their lives apart, while allowing them to continue sharing benefits such as health insurance and life insurance. Depending on the circumstances, a legal separation may also be the foundation for a divorce agreement. However, if you want to make sure your separation is legal, you should contact a lawyer. This article will look at some of the pros and cons of this process.
If you are seeking an annulment, you should first file the proper paperwork with the court. There are several types of annulment forms available, and your attorney can help you decide which one to use. You should also be sure to have your attorney review the documents to ensure they are correct. Once all the paperwork is complete, you should go to the court to file your petition. Depending on where you live, you may also need to submit additional forms, including those for child support, visitation, and child custody. You should also pay any required fees. | <urn:uuid:4bb4803e-a51e-4012-a7ed-d0b75f0f44b9> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://kslawoffice.com/protect-your-family-rights-with-experienced-family-law-attorneys/ | 2024-02-28T00:30:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.951328 | 924 |
While the brain cannot feel pain, it is constantly changing and incredibly complex. It is the most important organ as it keeps us running.
However, various conditions like PTSD, depression, alcohol abuse, schizophrenia and concussions can impact the physiology of the brain.
Let’s explore how these conditions can change the brain.
- PTSD: PTSD is triggered by a significantly traumatic event, which causes fight or flight. PTSD causes the amygdala or the part of the brain that controls emotions to be overactive. It can also impact the decision-making and memory areas of brain.
- Depression: Depression not only impacts mental states, mood and cognition. During a state of depression the physiological state of the brain changes. There is lessened activity in areas such as prefrontal lobes, which controls reasoning, personality, and judgment. Depression can also lead to brain inflammation, which can cause brain cell loss.
- Alcohol Abuse: Alcohol directly impacts the brain with symptoms such as blurry vision, slurred speech, and memory loss. These occur because alcohol kills brain cells. Prolong alcohol abuse negatively effects the brain as it shrinks certain areas, impairing functionality and cognition. Those suffering from alcoholism often have a smaller hippocampus decreasing learning and memory.
- Schizophrenia: Those who suffer from schizophrenia have less grey and white matter in their brains than those who do not have this condition. White matter helps the brain transmit information while grey matter helps process the information. With reduced levels of grey and white matter, those with schizophrenia tend have multiple symptoms like dissociative episodes.
- Concussions: Concussions happen when the brain experiences blunt force trauma from incidents like bumping your head, a car crash, sports incidents and more. When the brain slides and hits the inside of the skull, it can cause bruising and tear nerve tissue. These injuries can have mental and physical side effects. Concussions can shake up the balance of chemicals in the brain, harm nerve cell function and trigger inflammation. Brains can often heal themselves, but multiple concussions can lead to long term damage.

Tips To Spot Tax Scammers
The 2023 IRS tax deadline is April 23rd this year with the combination of April 15th falling on a Saturday and the Emancipation Day Holiday on April 17th in Washington, DC.
The deadline will arrive shortly and this is the time of the year that, you know, we hear lots of warnings about fraud involving your taxes.
Fraud can take the form of Phone scams, phishing or email messages and fraudulent tax preparation
Wenatchee Certified Public Accountant Kyle Meissner with Cordell, Neher and Company in Wenatchee says the IRS will not make initial contact with you by telephone.
"Typically the IRS is going to send you a notice that you owe them money by mail. If you get a phone call from the IRS, there's a pretty good chance that that's not the IRS. So don't give them any of your personal information. That's really the key to be skeptical of any phone calls or emails that claim they're the IRS because that's not their normal method of of operation."
Other tips a call may be a scam;
- IRS does not call about unexpected refunds, or ask for personal info over phone
- Don’t give personal information to anyone you don’t know over the phone
Meissner advises if you are not sure about the validity of the caller you can verify their credentials by requesting that the caller send a letter from IRS about the purpose of the contact. You can call the IRS back at 1-800-829-4933 to verify the credentials but do not use a number provided by the caller.
Other ways to avoid a scam by phone;
- IRS doesn’t take payments via phone
- Only make payments via the IRS direct pay website or checks made out to to the Department of Treasury mailed to the correct IRS mailing address with the IRS payment voucher.
Phishing or Email Scams
Meissner says the IRS doesn’t communicate via email so all of the customary precautions when receiving an email message should be practiced. Scammers are very sophisticated and you should never click on any link or open attachments from a sender you don't know or can't verify. IRS doesn’t take payment via email links
Tax Preparer Fraud
Be wary if a tax preparer promises a large refund, especially if it is out of the ordinary from your customary refund history.
Ask the tax preparer questions explaining why the refund is out of line with your expectations
Meissner says the concern over promises of finding a large refund are troublesome if the preparer is offering to base their fees on the refund amount.

The loss of Iota Brew Cafe on Western in Koreatown was felt hard by the locals, many of whom had spent their own long nights over the restaurant’s signature desserts and coffees. Now in its place comes Horse’s Mouth, with hopes to reinvigorate the bustling building.
News of the seafood-focused newcomer first came to light back in June, when word got out that chef Charlie Yusta had taken over and wanted to drop in all manner of oysters and fresh fish. That’s quietly come to fruition over the past couple of weeks, as the restaurant is now in full-on soft open mode — and has earned a fair amount of early praise.
So what exactly can one expect? A raw bar for starters, plus mains like soft shell crab, a lobster roll, and lobster bucatini pasta. Beyond the ocean you'll find beef carpaccio, duck pancakes, a burger, and more. The full menu is below. As for hours, expect evening only for the foreseeable future.

Early Engagement of Parietal Cortex for Subtraction Solving Predicts Longitudinal Gains in Behavioral Fluency in Children
- PMID: 32528262[PubMed].
There is debate in the literature regarding how single-digit arithmetic fluency is achieved over development. While the Fact-retrieval hypothesis suggests that with practice, children shift from quantity-based procedures to verbally retrieving arithmetic problems from long-term memory, the Schema-based hypothesis claims that problems are solved through quantity-based procedures and that practice leads to these procedures becoming more automatic. To test these hypotheses, a sample of 46 typically developing children underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) when they were 11 years old (time 1), and 2 years later (time 2). We independently defined regions of interest (ROIs) involved in verbal and quantity processing using rhyming and numerosity judgment localizer tasks, respectively. The verbal ROIs consisted of left middle/superior temporal gyri (MTG/STG) and left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), whereas the quantity ROIs consisted of bilateral inferior/superior parietal lobules (IPL/SPL) and bilateral middle frontal gyri (MFG)/right IFG. Participants also solved a single-digit subtraction task in the scanner. We defined the extent to which children relied on verbal vs. quantity mechanisms by selecting the 100 voxels showing maximal activation at time 1 from each ROI, separately for small and large subtractions. We studied the brain mechanisms at time 1 that predicted gains in subtraction fluency and how these mechanisms changed over time with improvement. When looking at brain activation at time 1, we found that improvers showed a larger neural problem size effect in bilateral parietal cortex, whereas no effects were found in verbal regions. Results also revealed that children who showed improvement in behavioral fluency for large subtraction problems showed decreased activation over time for large subtractions in both parietal and frontal regions implicated in quantity, whereas non-improvers maintained similar levels of activation. All children, regardless of improvement, showed decreased activation over time for large subtraction problems in verbal regions. The greater parietal problem size effect at time 1 and the reduction in activation over time for the improvers in parietal and frontal regions implicated in quantity processing is consistent with the Schema-based hypothesis arguing for more automatic procedures with increasing skill. The lack of a problem size effect at time 1 and the overall decrease in verbal regions, regardless of improvement, is inconsistent with the Fact-retrieval hypothesis. | <urn:uuid:5304e09e-3b21-4a9f-b648-47283cb90b93> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://lab.vanderbilt.edu/boothlab/publication/early-engagement-of-parietal-cortex-for-subtraction-solving-predicts-longitudinal-gains-in-behavioral-fluency-in-children/ | 2024-02-28T00:17:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.906638 | 518 |

Advanced statistical machine learning (ML) algorithms are being developed, trained, tuned, optimized, and validated for real-time prognostics for internet-of-things (IoT) applications in the fields of manufacturing, transportation, and utilities. For such applications, we have achieved greatest prognostic success with ML algorithms from a class of pattern recognition known as nonlinear, nonparametric regression. To intercompare candidate ML algorithmics to identify the “best” algorithms for IoT prognostic applications, we use three quantitative performance metrics: false alarm probability (FAP), missed alarm probability (MAP), and overhead compute cost (CC) for real-time surveillance. This paper presents a comprehensive framework, SimML, for systematic parametric evaluation of statistical ML algorithmics for IoT prognostic applications. SimML evaluates quantitative FAP, MAP, and CC performance as a parametric function of input signals’ degree of cross-correlation, signal-to-noise ratio, number of input signals, sampling rates for the input signals, and number of training vectors selected for training. Output from SimML is provided in the form of 3D response surfaces for the performance metrics that are essential for comparing candidate ML algorithms in precise, quantitative terms. | <urn:uuid:424cf14f-1983-405c-92a8-3a841f681cad> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://labs.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=94065:10:125176355321644:5357 | 2024-02-27T22:52:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.858871 | 252 |

(By Paige, this review is made with a review code, with thanks to Japanesenintendo.com)
Do you love playing jigsaw puzzles? You won’t need to annoy your family member anymore by claiming the table. A new kind of game is entering the realm of the Switch. Animated Jigsaws: Beautiful Japanese Scenery is a jigsaw puzzle game now available (release April 5) on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
The price for this download only game is $9.99, € 8.99 and 7.99 GBP. It’s published by Rainy Frog and developed by DICO / BottleCube. It contains moving images from spring, summer, autumn and winter capturing the natural beauty of Japan from all four seasons.
Piece together scenes from some of Japanese most famous places including Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, Tokyo and the Snow Monkeys enjoying a bath in a natural hot spring! The hectic scramble crossing at the metropolitan Shibuya district in Tokyo is also included.
All in all, there are ten jigsaws puzzles. They are all videos of famous Japanese scenery and sights. The animated jigsaw pieces adds an extra element of challenge. The game has local co-op for up to four players.
When you complete a puzzle you unlock the next few puzzles and so on. The first three puzzles are 60 pieces, the next 120 and so forth. That said, once completing a picture you can play it again with more pieces. The number of puzzles might sound small but the bigger ones can take some time to complete. It also records the time it takes to complete the puzzle so you are able to try for better times.
This game has quite a few options for play. At first I preferred the touch screen controls but as the pieces became more numerous I preferred playing on the television. I found in both modes of play pieces would occasionally snag and have to be picked up again. Pieces click into place when placed correctly and can also click into each other while not in a particular spot.
There are three different background songs you can change between or turn off. You can choose to sort the puzzle pieces into inner and outer pieces if you want. Clicking the group button doesn’t rearrange moved pieces.
You can also change the background colour of the mat the pieces are going on to.
I played in co-op with both my little sister and grandmother. Each player has a different coloured hand. I think it would be best with older children at the least. As the size of the puzzles and the animation make it frustrating for younger players. I also learned you can take the piece someone else is holding, often by accident. The game also records how many pieces each player put down which makes it a more competitive experience.
The game does save your progress via autosave, but it also knows how many players were working on a puzzle. If you go back to the puzzle as single player it will reset the puzzle.
So far, it’s the only jigsaw puzzle game on the switch and as such doesn’t have any competition. Personally, I found the images used in some of the puzzles to be particularly frustrating. This being because of large chunks of water or clouds that are constantly moving. Because of this I find it best for older players.
I feel the addition of co-op play gives it more reason to pick this up over similar games on phone or tablet devices. At least you won’t have to worry about any missing pieces!

What is Lakeshore PAWS?
Lakeshore PAWS is a mostly volunteer run, nonprofit 501(c)3 animal rescue organization located in Valparaiso, Indiana. Our vision is to create a culture of compassion and partnership in Northwest Indiana that will one day assure that every pet born has a stable home and care throughout its natural life.
Compassion: Treating each animal with the kindness it deserves;
Community: Creating partnerships for a better world for pets in Northwest Indiana;
Results: Acting to ensure that every pet receives a second chance at a forever home;
Advocacy: Working as a voice for every animal in despair.
How long do animals remain for adoption?
Although most of our animals are adopted quickly, there is no time limit to the length of time that animals remain available for adoption. In some cases, we may care for an animal for several weeks or months.
Is the shelter open to the public? What are the hours?
Lakeshore PAWS is open to the public for adoptions and animal viewing during the following hours:
Tuesday - Friday: 12pm - 6pm
Saturday - Sunday: 11am - 3pm
The staff and volunteers are here seven days a week to care for the animals. Please note, these hours are subject to change.
Where does the Lakeshore PAWS get the dogs for the shelter?
We try and help local shelters first as well as shelters in other parts of Indiana. However, we help areas like Texas and other shelters that are either experiencing natural disasters or are forced to euthanize for space.
I found a stray animal, can I bring him to Lakeshore PAWS to surrender?
All strays should be taken to the appropriate county shelter corresponding to where the stray was found for a stray hold to give owners a central location to claim their animals. Other suggestions if you've found a pet:
- Post flyers in and around your neighborhood or where the pet was found, after getting the OK from the proper authorities, of course.
- Include an easy-to-read title, such as "Found Cat" or "Found Dog."
- Provide a brief description of the found animal.
- Leave your name and number.
- Omit one or two of the pet's unique identifying marks so you can make sure you have the true owner of the pet.
I can no longer care for my pet. Can I bring her to Lakeshore PAWS to be adopted by another family?
Unfortunately, we do not take owner surrenders at this time. The only exception is that if it was a dog that you had adopted out through us and can no longer care for. Our priority is to pull from other shelters where animals are at an immediate risk of euthanasia due to overcrowding.
What is the adoption process?
Adopting an animal from Lakeshore PAWS is an easy process! It begins with filling out an application online or at the center. Once approved, you may meet with pets that you are interested in. You will then go through a 3-day trial adoption period to make sure the animal is a right fit for your home. After this period, you may finalize the adoption. Learn more by clicking here.
Can I adopt a pet as a gift for someone else?
No. Adopting a pet is a personal, lifestyle decision. If you are considering adopting a pet as a gift, we recommend that you offer to go with them to Lakeshore PAWS and pay the adoption fee when they find the pet that fits them best.
How much are Lakeshore PAWS's adoption fees?
Adoption fees range anywhere from $400 down to $50 depending on the age and the breed of the dog. On average, it costs the shelter around $560 per dog before they are adopted. The adoption fee includes: spay/neuter surgery, microchip, all current vaccinations & heartworm preventative, and all medical care/medication received at the shelter.
Do you know the history of the dogs at the shelter?
The history of the animals begins on the first day they arrive at the shelter, where they are medically and behaviorally evaluated before being released for adoption. Sometimes we have background information (e.g., was the animal a stray, an owner surrender, etc.) but most of the time we do not.
How is Lakeshore PAWS funded?
We are funded entirely through private donations. Lakeshore PAWS does not receive any regular government or tax money.
Are there ways for me to donate?
I would like to volunteer, what sort of work is there, and how can I get involved?
There are many ways to volunteer your time with the Lakeshore PAWS! All of the following duties are held by volunteers:
- Dog care (walking, bathing, etc.)
- Clerical/Administrative duties
- Dog fostering programs
- Adoptions assistance
- Off-site Events
- Many other opportunities!
Volunteers age 13 to 15 must volunteer with a parent or legal guardian. The parent must attend orientation with you. Volunteers age 16 to 17 must have a release of liability signed by parents/legal guardian, who also must attend orientation.
I have to do court-ordered community service, can I do this at Lakeshore PAWS?
At this time, we do not allow those who need to complete community service.
Does Lakeshore PAWS have a cat program?
At this time, we do not have a cat program, we only have dogs in our system. | <urn:uuid:6b03c2b6-a371-4453-a886-f281af7461b7> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://lakeshorepaws.org/faq/ | 2024-02-27T22:20:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.95497 | 1,396 |
Of the 9 Great Ponds located wholly within Acadia National Park (ANP), Eagle Lake is the largest - 466 acres, with a maximum depth of 110 feet. (Long Pond, which borders ANP, is the largest lake on Mount Desert Island, and is approximately twice the size of Eagle Lake in terms of surface area.) One of the most visited carriage roads in ANP circles Eagle Lake.

The fitness industry is growing at a fast pace thanks to smartphones, so more and more people are thinking about shifting to a healthier lifestyle. If you work in this niche but still don’t understand how to develop a fitness app that would engage your target audience, our quick guide will help you learn the basics of the process.
What are fitness apps?
Fitness apps are mobile services that help people to follow their training programs and track their athletic performance. They take on the role of interactive personal trainers and can motivate sports enthusiasts by providing them with detailed training information in a gamified format.
To develop a fitness app that engages people as effectively as possible, there are many factors to consider. These include the preferred mobile platform, the target audience specifics, the type of service required, the number of functions, etc.
Fitness app development stages:
- Market analysis and competitive apps. At this stage, our team evaluates the state of the target market and examines competing services with a set of functions that you would like to implement in your app, taking into account the available budget.
- Defining goals. At this stage, our specialists will agree with you all the needs and wishes for development in order to determine the desired type of mobile app.
- Determination of the priority platform. In this step, we need to understand which mobile platforms – iOS or Android – you want to cover with your future service. Native development for one platform will cost you less, and cross-platform development will take more time but will engage more users.
- Creation of a prototype of a future product. Once all the initial points are agreed upon, our staff will create a prototype of the app so that you get an idea of its visual style and functional features.
- Writing code and running the app in test mode. Having approved the technical aspects of the upcoming development, we will transfer the project to our programmers, who will implement all the coding. And after, our QA specialists thoroughly test the app before launching it.
- Publishing to the App Store or Play Store. When the team has successfully pre-validated the service, we will upload it to the iOS and/or Android app stores. After that, the specialists will take care of post-release support for the app, which includes tracking and fixing errors, as well as optimizing the user experience based on the customers’ behavioral patterns.
Types of fitness apps:
- Training and exercise. The essence of such a service is to demonstrate the correct technique for performing the selected exercises to people and allow them to track the results of their workouts in an understandable format.
- Proper nutrition and dieting. These apps are designed for people who want to lose weight, increase muscle mass, or improve their lifestyle by redesigning their eating habits. These services should count calories consumed, offer people proven recipes, allow them to share their results on social media platforms, and more.
- Personal trainer. This mobile fitness app can enhance the customer experience with gyms or fitness centers. You could advertise new training programs, the services of your specialists, and also charge customers for visiting your establishment with it.
- Multifunctional apps. Of course, such an app is a universal fitness solution that can combine exercise guides, detailed training statistics, nutritional recommendations, etc. The downside is that combining more functions in one service increases development costs.
- Tracking. The main task of these services is to track specific parameters. They count the number of calories consumed, distance traveled over a certain period, running speed, and much more. Most often, tracking apps rely on the accelerometer of the smartphone or additional devices like fitness bracelets in this regard.
- Wellness. These apps allow people to try out experimental fitness practices, be it yoga, meditation, or other healthy lifestyle technics. Video demos, audio guides, motivational messages, and time tracking functions play an important role in these services.
The fitness app market has expanded significantly in recent years, but this does not mean that there are no promising niches left for the growth of your business. By understanding the main development stages of such services and their main varieties, it will be much easier for you to explain to our team what functional features you would like to see in your app.
By the way with all the mobile apps advantages for business you can read our updated article! | <urn:uuid:aefdb14c-6ee6-4f82-9fea-366836639859> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://lampalampa.net/en/how-to-build-a-mobile-fitness-fpp-guidelines/ | 2024-02-27T23:29:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.940268 | 887 |
Just a few days before her departure from the Cabinet, Suella Braverman, described rough sleeping as a “lifestyle choice.” We asked Phil Moore, Centre Manager at Lancaster and District Homeless Action Service (LDHAS), for his thoughts. What follows is from Phil.
LDHAS, which has been supporting street homeless and vulnerably housed people for over 30 years, has not found this to be our experience.
The main reasons which contribute to homelessness are poor mental health, substance use, and relationship breakdown, all of which were exacerbated during the covid pandemic and have certainly not improved during the current economic downturn. Added to these factors are the shortage of social housing stock and an increasing number of private landlords leaving the market.
Choosing homelessness as a lifestyle would be a poor choice to make, apart from feeling cold, miserable, isolated, ill, and desperate – life expectancy is also significantly curtailed. Homeless people are more likely to die younger, with an average age of death of 47 years for men and even lower for homeless women at 43, compared with the general population -74 for men and 80 for women. Between March 2020 and March 2023, 31 LDHAS clients died, sadly and ironically, not from Covid but predominantly from drug overdose. This figure includes those who were ‘vulnerably housed’ as well as the street homeless.
We are receiving an increasing number of enquiries from people who are about to be made homeless due significantly to the shrinking private rented sector: 25 per cent of these enquiries are from young women with children who we refer on to the local authority. Due to the shortage of social housing, it is extremely difficult for local authorities to find accommodation for young families and councils across the country are having to resort to using B&Bs and hotels.
Homelessness is certainly something not of their choosing. Homelessness is a national problem as evidenced in numerous reports by Crisis and Shelter amongst others. Many people are only a couple of pay days away from homelessness; it is difficult to imagine that homelessness is a lifestyle choice that they are considering.
Our experience at LDHAS is homeless people just want the same as most of society – to be treated with respect and valued as human beings. That’s what they would choose – not homelessness. | <urn:uuid:ac10c412-6cd1-4de9-9392-4d995f692f51> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://lancastercvs.org.uk/challenging-misconceptions-phil-moores-insight-on-homelessness/ | 2024-02-28T00:14:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.981543 | 472 |

“Friends are God’s way of taking care of us”
Pre-arranging Your Funeral
Today, people throughout the United States are taking the matter of funeral pre-arrangements into their own hands.
They are making personal choices themselves, in advance, and relieving their families of the financial and emotional burden and decisions.
Pre-arrangements allow calm, practical planning rather than decisions left to the family during a painfully traumatic time.
Pre-arranging ensures that your funeral will be conducted to your specifications.
Families find comfort in knowing that a loved one’s funeral reflects his or her own wishes.
Choosing to pre-arrange provides peace of mind.
Pre-arranging gives you the advantage of prepaying your funeral and ensuring today’s prices for the future.
Landmark Funeral Home provides flexible payment plans and no interest with affordable quality services.
We accept Pre-arrangements from other funeral homes.
All pre-arrangements are transferable at no additional expense.
Information about Cremation
Cremation like burial is another form of the disposition of human remains. The cremation casket or container is placed in the cremation chamber and through an intense heat the body is reduced to bone fragments, known as cremated remains.
Depending on the families wishes the cremated remains can be scattered, placed in a cemetery or kept at home.
Cremation as the choice of disposition does not preclude the family from having a public visitation. The deceased would be embalmed, dressed, cosmetized and casketed in a cremation or rental casket for the services.
The service can be held at the funeral home or a church followed by the cremation. If a family chooses not to have a visitation a memorial service at the funeral home or a church offers another way their loved one can be remembered.
Landmark Funeral Home offers a Celebration of Life ceremony with Valerie Panciera-Rieth coordinating and officiating the memorialization of your loved one. Most religions accept cremation as the disposition of the human remains.
The Catholic church now allows the urn to be present in church for a memorial mass. If there are questions concerning cremation the staff of Landmark Funeral Home is here to answer and guide the family thru the funeral process.

A small section of the Brownstone Trail remains closed due to a large and active landslide. Thank you for continuing to use the detour. Landmark Conservancy is exploring the purchase of the property located above the slump to relocate the trail and create a public community space. This is anticipated to be a multi-year project that will require significant time, resources, partner collaboration and community support.
Planned trail work includes the reconstruction of steps and adjacent trail near the Blue Wing Bay trail section in collaboration with Bayfield Area Trails, the Town of Bayfield, and local residents.
To better understand natural resource conditions and land management concerns, Northland College is leading a comprehensive assessment of the shoreline and trail corridor.
Thanks to our Brownstone Trail Partners and Funders!

Silk is a natural fabric that is made from the fibers of the cocoon of the silkworm. The process of making silk begins with the cultivation of silkworms, which are fed on a diet of mulberry leaves. Once the silkworms have matured, they spin a cocoon around themselves using a single thread of silk that can be up to 900 meters long. Silk is considered sustainable because it is a natural fabric that is produced without the use of harmful chemicals. The cultivation of mulberry trees, which are used to feed the silkworms, is also considered a sustainable practice as these trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and help to mitigate the effects of climate change. Silk is biodegradable, which means that it will break down naturally over time and will not contribute to landfill waste. It is also highly durable and long-lasting, which means that it can be worn for many years.

Alexia Maynard has been selected by the Laurel Ridge Foundation as the recipient of the prestigious Ross Fellowship for Service and Scholarship. The award is valued at more than $7,000.
Alexia enrolled at Laurel Ridge after her 2018 graduation from Skyline High School in Warren County.
Our Ross fellows are required to give a minimum of 45 hours each semester to a service-learning project. Alexia, who is studying cybersecurity, has chosen to offer free basic computer training classes to community members and fellow Laurel Ridge students.
She has recruited some of her classmates to gain valuable IT experience while helping to teach the classes, which will be offered on Saturdays at the Middletown Campus. For more information about the classes, visit https://sites.google.com/email.vccs.edu/thecyberclinicworkshop/, or email [email protected].
Although a promising mechanic – as a sophomore, she was the only first-year Blue Ridge Technical Center student to pass the industry-recognized Automotive Service Excellence Exam – Alexia was looking for a new challenge.
While still in high school, the National Honor Society member earned 28 college credits through Laurel Ridge’s dual-enrollment program. Those dual-enrollment classes, plus the affordability and proximity of Laurel Ridge, led Alexia to choose the college after high school graduation.
“I love Lord Fairfax,” she says. “My professors are very thorough in their teaching. I really like learning. I’m looking forward to helping others in the community learn how to use computers and not be intimidated by them. Computers have so many benefits.”
After graduation next spring, Alexia hopes to transfer to George Mason University to continue her studies in cybersecurity.
When she’s not in school or studying, Alexia is kept busy with her job in the parts department at Marlow Automotive Group, working on her family farm and participating in Phi Theta Kappa, the college’s national honor society.
Alexia was given the opportunity to shadow at Marlow Auto Group while taking her automotive courses.
“Not only did she shadow, but she impressed the company to the point that they created a paid internship for her,” Blue Ridge Technical Center Principal Jane Baker says. “At BRTC, she became a student mentor in the class and a role model for other female automotive students.”
The president of Marlow Automotive Group, Emily Marlow Beck, says when Alexia started interning at her company, she “fearlessly jumped in and made herself valuable right away.”
“Her attention to detail, work ethic and integrity make her invaluable in a department that involves (literally) thousands of moving parts every day and where there are many opportunities for error or breach of trust,” Beck says.
Through the Ross Fellowship, Alexia’s full-time tuition expenses will be covered in 2019-20. She will receive $1,000 for textbooks and $750 for a technology purchase, such as a computer, tablet, or iPad. After the successful completion of her service project, she will receive a $1,000 stipend.

Laurel Ridge Community College was known as Lord Fairfax Community College until June 2022. For consistency purposes, the college will be referenced as Laurel Ridge going forward. | <urn:uuid:c044b2ef-c084-4056-ab75-51f560fbbf89> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://laurelridge.edu/student-spotlight/alexia-maynard-fellowship-recipient-offering-free-computer-classes-to-the-community/ | 2024-02-27T23:10:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.960529 | 726 |
I adore this family!!! I met Nicole and her beautiful mother a while back when I photographed Nicole and her friends for her birthday. 🙂
I was so excited when Mary contacted me about taking their family photos! This session was so relaxed and fun.

We are often asked by our customers how a Zendesk SAP integration can look like for an On-Premise installation. Basically, it does not matter which SAP system (CRM, ERP, HR, …) is involved here. This article describes some different approaches, depending on your current infrastructure.
Your agents in customer service should get a faster overview of the customer and further information from the backend system (like SAP). This could be customer data + orders if you need data from a SAP ERP system, or tasks, history entries, sales opportunities if it is SAP CRM for example.
Ideally, the agent will find information in Zendesk directly – without having to search in additional tools.
Zendesk SAP Integration – Custom App
The classic way of connecting backend systems to Zendesk is to create a Custom App within Zendesk for the Zendesk SAP integration, which in turn can display the data from the SAP/backend.
Solution / Middleware on SAP Side
To display data in third party systems from SAP, a middleware or API is needed. The middleware provides the data via API/REST and gets its data from the backend when it is needed.
SAP Middleware – This can be a SAP middleware such as SAP PI (CPI) or SAP PO (CPO). Zendesk then pulls the data it needs from the SAP middleware.
SAP SOAP Interface – Ideally the SOAP interface is reachable from the web already. Alternatively we can setup a Proxy in a cloud environment which is connected to the corporate network via VPN. Depending where your systems are hosted.
Custom Middleware – custom developed middleware can also be used here. There are existing libraries for many common programming languages which can be used here. These could be packages like PyRFC for Python or e.g. node-rfc for NodeJS. The custom middleware is talking “rfc” towards the SAP system and provides REST/JSON against the Zendesk app.
ESB/API Gateway – does your company already use a separate API layer or ESB (enterprise service bus)? The Zendesk app can also communicate with this to present relevant data for the Agents.
A question we always ask – especially when possibly no SAP PI or other middleware is in use yet.
“Is the required data also available in other systems such as a BI database or DWH/BW?”
This could also be considered as a source of your SAP data for Zendesk.
SAP S4/HANA REST
If you use S4 already it could be the easiest approach to use the S4/hana REST interfaces. Depending on your setup.
Export/Import (conditionally recommended)
Exporting from SAP as a flat file would theoretically be possible, but we would never recommend this. For this, file-based interfaces hold too many surprises. Here are some of these problems: File formats, file encoding UTF8/Unicode, date formats, decimal points, time offset, empty files. Re-import of data on Zendesk side not advisable for all objects (e.g. orders and positions). Our recommendation for flat file scenarios is always to import into a dedicated database with a separate API.
API endpoints on the part of SAP middleware
To map the requirements of your Zendesk SAP integration, we typically require the following endpoints on the part of the API/middleware.
A typical scenario for ERP connections might require the following API endpoints on the part of SAP middleware:
- searchCustomer – search for customer information (customer number, customer name, address).
This endpoint returns a list of customers with their header information.
- getCustomerDetails – Detail information of a customer based on e.g. its customer number or other unique identifier.
Returns customer master data, address and contact information and possibly other KPIs (e.g. sales last 12 months, CLV – customer lifetime value etc.)
- getOrders – Returns a list of linked orders of a customer.
Typical fields here would be the order volume, order date possibly included products and order status. If available, tracking information from logistics service providers would also be helpful here.
Your benefit with a Zendesk SAP integration
- Frequently needed customer information is available to the customer service agent directly within Zendesk -> higher employee satisfaction
- A jump to the third-party system is eliminated and leads to time savings in customer service
- The customer receives faster an answer to his request – consequently, the customer satisfaction can be increased
- Deeplink to SAP UI possible
- in the long term. Less load in the SAP system directly | <urn:uuid:af6c2806-4e69-4399-9181-f048981fb488> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://leafworks.de/en/zendesk/zendesk-sap-integrations-for-on-premise-installations/ | 2024-02-28T00:49:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.898577 | 995 |

March 9 – April 6, 2006
Legacy Maltwood (at Mearns Centre – McPherson Library)
Curated by Astri Wright, Professor in the Department of Art History, UVic
This was the first solo exhibition of photographs by Peter Paul Harnisch, a Vancouver-based European-decent Canadian artist. It featured 30 large photographs documenting his expressive response to post-spawned salmon in the same creek on the lower mainland over the last three years. It invesitaged the sacredness of place and spirit through the life cycle of salmon on the West Coast. The exhibition featured a single piece guest-installation by Washington State sculptor Ken Lundemo called “Salmon Woman”.
Harnisch began his photographic career in 1986. After a decade of work in the commercial photography he began to pursue the medium as a vehicle of personal, creative expression. The moment that caused Harnisch to make a conscious shift from commercial work to art was his experience, in fall 2003, of photographing salmon in a Vancouver creek after their run had come to an end. A selection of his photographs of dead salmon from 2003-05 in Scott Creek in Coquitlam BC was featured in the show.
This is the first of two exhibitions from the same team coming to Maltwood Art Gallery and Museum. The title, Dirge, refers to songs sung at funerals, associated with Christian and pre-Christian practices. This exhibit explores the first and last moments of our lives, the act of passing through the veil between the living and the dead, and the public and private spaces these events happen in. The exhibit reflected the funereal aspect of photographing the salmon only after they had spawened and died. | <urn:uuid:f0cedcb7-0a6a-43c4-98c7-d0797e2d55bb> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://legacy.uvic.ca/gallery/blog/salmon-stories-set-1-dirge/ | 2024-02-27T23:31:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.966656 | 356 |

NUT strike ballot, performance management & teachers' payscale, Gove and O-levels
Back after a break for job-hunting, and the things that I complain about in the blog, being the things that mean I didn't have time to write the blog! But this was important enough for me to bother my arse ;)
NUT workload strike ballot
NUT members have just received their ballot for discontinuous strike action, and action short of a strike, over pay and conditions. Although after the London-only teacher strike on March 28th there was rumours of a national June 28th strike over pensions, it seems there's no danger of that now. The ballot closes September 6th, so any top-down national action, whether it's pay or pensions, will be autumn at earliest.
The NUT seems to think that if they can get a YES vote they'll be able to persuade the NASUWT to come out too. Using each other as an excuse for doing nothing is what has lead the pensions dispute down the shitter. Goes without saying I'll be voting YES, but it's worth highlighting how previous YES votes have been ignored by union leadership. Despite a still-applicable pensions strike YES vote last year, teachers nationally were still ignored by union-bureaucrats and told not to come out on March 28th with London teachers, despite indicating by 73% in a stupid little survey that we still wanted to strike.
This disregard for members views has lead many of my colleagues to have really low morale with regards the pension struggle. Most aren't even worried about pensions anymore, as they're more worried about getting sacked in the next year or two, I'll explain why.
Performance management & teachers' payscale
The new Ofsted framework which I've moaned about before, places even more pressure on teachers to 'perform' for the powers that be. By stripping away 'satisfactory' - a word that has a dictionary definition; 'fulfilling all demands and requirements' - and replacing it with 'requires improvement', teachers will be forced to justify their wage should they not be deemed 'good' or 'outstanding'.
Now, how will this affect teaching workers? As well as the stress of observations and being judged by managers who spend as little time in the classroom as they physically can, it will be used to assess teacher wage progression.
Currently, teachers have a national pay-scale (not applicable in academies, though many still follow it anyway, but could change it at any time). The scale, like any, has newest/youngest teachers on a lower wage (low-20k per/year region, depending on whether they're in London or not), rise through M1-M6 - this is the main scale; by M6 you roughly get 10-12 grand a year more in salary. Then a teacher can jump to 'upper-pay' spine which takes them to high 30k pay bracket.
Obviously, the scale is problematic - it separates young/old and inexperienced/experienced in pay terms. Our criticism however, is very different from the attacks currently proposed. Now, the new Ofsted framework, performance management, and the salary scale are to be linked. How will this work?
Our head is barely hides his contempt for older teachers, and other schools like academies have notoriously young staff. Why? Old teachers are expensive, have kids, and are 'stuck in their ways', and, I shit you not, 'not value for money'. In contrast, young teachers are cheap. 'dynamic' and malleable (i.e. don't know any better).
If a school wants to save money, and has a lot of older staff, they will want rid of those pesky older staff who cost a lot, remember unions, and have to leave early to pick up kids. A head with money problems will think:
'I could have TWO new teachers for that price!'
So they will use performance management to target anyone they want rid of, be it for financial reasons, or possibly if they are 'trouble-makers'. Give someone a bad observation, then give them another, and another, and you can put them on 'capability' procedures. Everyone knows what this means, and everyone dreads it. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy - tell someone they're SHIT enough times (whether they objectively are or not), treat them as such, undermine their confidence, and they will begin to feel, and act, a bit shit. Do this enough, and eventually you'll have ground to get rid of them, and hire a newer, younger, cheaper worker.
Even if they don't necessarily want rid of someone, they can use observation judgements to deny salary progression. Not deemed 'good'? Fine, your pay won't go up next year.
The new Ofsted framework, linked to pay progression, and capability, will further divide old and young teachers, and worst of all, result in exactly the sort of parity we don't want - everyone on the lowest pay possible for the job.
Gove, Roman Numerals and O-levels
What the fuck can I say here? Gove wants all primary kids to be able to count in Roman numerals - to be fair, I'd never have known that ROCKY V was the one to avoid if it wasn't for my Da explaining roman numerals when I was 8. Rocky IV is the best anyway.
And O-levels? Well they did it in THE OLDEN DAYS so it must be good.

Every homeowner knows what an investment a roof is. While a roof is a necessary investment, it can also be rather expensive. We understand that having to pay so much money is not always ideal. With an investment this big a lot of homeowners try to save money where possible. One of the ways they try to do this is by adding additional layers of shingles over their current asphalt roof. Some homeowners even try to do this while there are already two or three previous layers present.
This article will be addressing the question “Can you put multiple layers of shingles on a roof?”. While we will provide a clear answer to this question, we will also be sure to go over some warnings and additional information you should know before attempting to cover up your existing roof.
Can there be multiple layers of asphalt shingles on a roof?
To answer this question, no. Well, actually you can not have three or more layers of asphalt shingles on your roof. In many states, it is acceptable to have two layers, but that is the maximum. While there are rules and regulations in place, there are still plenty of homes out there that currently have three or more layers of asphalt shingles on their roof.
We at Liberty Roofworks strongly advise against nailing on more than two layers of asphalt shingles. As a company, we do not accept this type of work. Any reputable and respectable roofing company will also decline this type of work. Instead, it is recommended that a full roof replacement takes place. Ideally, your roof never gets to the point of having two layers of asphalt shingles, but we understand that sometimes it needs to be done. There are some situations where it is acceptable and possible to nail over an existing roof, but it isn’t too common. Most roofs actually will not be a great candidate for this.
If your roof is old and towards the end of its life but the shingles are all still flat and damage-free, then you can get away with nailing over your existing roof. The damage in question includes lifted or cracked shingles and any bumps. The reason most roofs are not a great candidate for a nail-over is that by the time their asphalt roof is at the end of its lifespan there tends to be at least some form of damage to the existing shingles. There are a few other requirements needed to potentially qualify for a nail-over. These requirements include a limited amount of flashing and penetrations. There should also be no walls that push against the existing shingles.
Even if you have your heart set on nailing over your first layer of asphalt shingles, it really comes down to the roofing contractor you hire. Roofing contractors will be able to tell you if a second layer of shingles is even an option for you after a roofing inspection takes place.
Important things to know about adding a second layer of shingles
If you are approved to add a second layer of shingles to your roof there are a few things to keep in mind.
For instance, when you have two layers of shingles on your roof you are no longer able to have your roof sheathing inspected. The roof sheathing is the base of your asphalt roof. There is always a risk of your roof sheathing breaking during the installation of your second shingle layer. If that happens the roofing contractor has to remove the existing shingles to fix the sheathing and then install both sets of shingles again. This extra step extends the process and also can increase the price. Having a second layer of asphalt shingles installed means that there will not be a chance to inspect the sheathing underneath. In other words, there is no way to know if there is existing damage until it is too late. This is one of the risks you take when choosing to install a second layer of shingles as opposed to a new roof.
Warranties are another issue faced with installing a second layer of asphalt shingles. When shingles are installed originally they come with a warranty from the manufacturer. Having an additional shingle layer added on means you will not have an enhanced warranty.
Your roof’s existing flashing
The flashing of your roof also is a deciding factor on if the second layer of shingles is possible. Flashing is the metal that is placed wherever shingles push up against something such as a chimney or wall. When a new roof is installed there is new flashing to go with it. When the second layer of shingles is added, the old flashing has to be used. If the flashing is not capable of handling a second layer of shingles then that option is off the table. During your initial inspection, your contractor will be able to check the status of your current flashing.
Decreasing the lifespan of your roof
Oftentimes adding a second layer of asphalt shingles to your roof will actually decrease its lifespan. Realistically, there are not supposed to be two layers of shingles on a roof. Shingles are not designed with the intent of holding an additional shingle layer on top of them. Having a second shingle layer installed results in the original shingle layer aging faster over time.
If the aesthetic of your home and roof is of importance to you, then a second shingle layer may not be the best choice. If there are any existing imperfections on your current roof they will transfer over to the new layer of shingles added. Your roof will never look as good as it would have if you had just replaced it together. This is just another thing to keep in mind before making a decision.
Knowing the risks
There are definite risks to having a second layer of shingles installed on your existing roof. It is important to take all of this information into consideration before deciding what route you want to take with your roof. Remember, your roof might not even be able to handle a second layer of shingles. That is why it’s important to have a roofer out to perform an inspection before making a decision. It is also important to keep in mind that while having two shingle layers on your roof may seem like a good idea at the moment when it comes time to replace them it will be a hassle. Since three shingle layers are not permitted in most states, you will need to have two shingle layers removed instead of one. This means that you will have to spend more money and it will also take more time for your roof replacement to be finished. There do tend to be more cons than pros to having a second layer of shingles installed. You have to ask yourself if saving a bit of time and money is worth the risks and potentially shortened lifespan of your roof.
We are here to help
While we at Liberty Roofworks would never agree to install a third layer of shingles to a roof, we do install a second layer when requested and possible. Ideally, we strongly recommended installing a new roof instead of adding another shingle layer. We do however know that things happen and sometimes a second shingle layer is the best option for you at the moment. If you are in need of a roof replacement and want to know your options, we are here to help. We will send one of our licensed and experienced roofing professionals to your home to perform an inspection and let you know if a second shingle layer is an option for you. If you are interested in scheduling an inspection or have any questions please contact us.

Q: Can you re-roof other types of roofs?
A: No, it is only possible to add another layer of roofing over asphalt shingles. | <urn:uuid:56a5935f-b4c1-4618-85b6-c35d5eb959d4> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://libertyroofworks.com/layers-asphalt-shingles-roof/ | 2024-02-27T23:52:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.950933 | 1,803 |

Windows: National Geographic's web site has some stunning photography, and a lot of it makes for good rotating desktop backgrounds. The NatGeo Wallpaper Downloader we've previously enjoyed has updated with interface improvements, bug fixes, and access to thousands more images.
The app's developer writes that while his first release of the app made it convenient to grab a few hundred of National Geographic's photography contest images, this 2.0 version broadens your access to more than 5,000 images. Future versions should expand the range even further. It's a Windows-only app, but Linux and Mac users with some command line savvy can still get in on the NatGeo action.
NatGeo Wallpaper Downloader is a free download for Window systems.

Do you remember Jello Pudding Pops? Boy, I sure do. I could eat a box of those in one sitting. Especially the vanilla ones. YUM. They haven’t been on the market for years (at least around here), and did you know there’s actually a petition to bring them back? I gotta say, I understand why.
I had forgotten about these little gems until last night, when our family was watching the 1997 movie, “Leave It To Beaver,” and they mentioned Pudding Pops. I jumped up off the couch (I’m not kidding–I missed the end of the movie for this!) and went to the kitchen to come up with my own “healthier” non-dairy version. After a bit of experimenting, this was the end result.
I have to say, I love my little Zoku Quick Pop Maker:
It makes popsicles in 7-9 minutes! Of course, you could make these the old fashioned way, and they would be just as delicious.
Recipe: Paleo Pudding Pops That’ll Take You Back (makes 6-7 pops)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 TBSP honey or pure maple syrup
2 TBSP cocoa powder
1/2 cup Enjoy LIfe Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Note: you could eliminate these, and the popsicles still taste great, they just aren’t as chocolatey)
Melt the chocolate chips into the coconut milk in a small saucepan over low heat (or if you’re not using the chips, you can just mix all the ingredients together). You don’t need the mixture to get hot, just warm enough to melt the chocolate chips. Stir in the remaining ingredients and cool for about 15 minutes, then pour into Zoku Quick Pop Maker or popsicle molds and freeze until hard. Be careful, you’re gonna want more than one! | <urn:uuid:9fbc8f97-2113-4184-9c37-28306abea207> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://lifemadefull.com/paleo-pudding-pops-thatll-take-you-back/ | 2024-02-27T23:16:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.940803 | 406 |
When a younger truffle hunter asks Aurelio to share his secret spots, the 84-year-old refuses and gives him a bit of advice. “You have to go with a dog,” he says. “A good dog or a bad dog—better with a good dog. If you don’t trust your dog, you shouldn’t go truffle hunting.” Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw’s 2020 documentary, The Truffle Hunters, looks at a handful of old men and their good dogs whose lives revolve around the edible subterranean fungi that can sell for as much as $1,500 (around ₹1.1 lakh) a pound.
In 1985, Italy banned the use of pigs to hunt truffles. Their place was taken by dogs, who had the advantage of not wanting to eat the truffle once they sniffed it out. The documentary is set in Italy’s picturesque Piedmont region, home to the legendary white truffle, or trifola d’Alba Madonna (Truffle of the Madonna from Alba). It introduces us to men who have been finding truffles all their lives. None of them seem to have children. Their filial bonds are with their dogs, who are part of—or their entire—family.
There’s Sergio, who gets into the tub to give his none-too-thrilled pooch a bath. There’s Aurelio, who shares a dinner table, and a bowl, with Birba—his primary concern is what will happen to her when he dies. Approached to sell her, Aurelio asks the man inquiring if he would sell him one of his children if he gave him ready cash. The dogs reciprocate this love, nudging their owners for a little attention when they are in conversation, throwing themselves body and soul into the task of ferreting out truffles.
The film opens on a wooded hillside. We gradually make out the three figures: two dogs darting around, and a man egging them on. Treasure is soon unearthed—an undistinguished, mud-covered lump maybe four inches in diameter. Later in the film, we are shown exactly how precious this is. The hunters sell to middlemen, who pass it on to restaurants and wealthy gourmands—one such transaction is for €4,500 ( ₹3.8 lakh) for a kilo. The social gap is yawning: The hunters are simply dressed, farmers (though well off); the suppliers wear suits and live in well-appointed houses. It’s telling that we never see the hunters eat the truffles they find, while both suppliers do (one does so in a ritual manner that tells us a lot about the cultural cache and the astronomical price of the fungi).
Dweck and Kershaw shot the film, along with writing, directing and producing it. The framing and use of light have a preciseness that’s in line with the codified, formal truffle trade. Still, there are moments when we feel the thrill of the hunt. The first arrives around 30 minutes in. We are in the car with Sergio and his dogs, heading to a promising spot. For the first time, the camera is shaky. The soundtrack is heavy with panting. It takes a few seconds to realise the camera is not handheld but dog-attached. Then we are out of the car, screaming through the brush and mud, driven by the scent. For a few seconds, it’s like we are in Leviathan, the deep-sea trawler film that made pathbreaking use of a GoPro camera.
The Truffle Hunters was filmed over three years. “We realised time was our friend,” Kershaw told Variety. “Somedays we would shoot, other days we shot nothing.” The formal beauty and immersion into a subculture bring to mind the films of Italian director Gianfranco Rosi. Though less political than Rosi's work, the film does argue for farming traditions, for the value of human experience, and for bonds with the land and its inhabitants in the face of corporate greed and apathy. The scenes with the hunters at home—making wine, playing the drums, celebrating their dog’s birthday—are contrasted with the faintly ridiculous details of a truffle “tasting” (though it’s actually smelling) and a fancy auction. Everything to do with the trade is slightly suspect. The hard-nosed auctioneer has the look and fastidious palate of a Bond villain. When a younger seller tries to push a few specimens to a customer in a dark alleyway, it’s as if a drug deal is taking place.
Though underscored with a slight sense of loss, this is a predominantly cheerful film of immense charm. It leans into the eccentricities of its aged protagonists —one belting out a tarantella, another angrily composing a letter on his typewriter. What’s never in doubt is their love for their canine companions. When Carlo is blessed in front of a congregation in church, standing next to him is his dog, Titina. The very game priest first blesses him, then says: “And may God preserve the dog’s sense of smell, which is precious and helps with the hunt.” Divine sanction for a good girl—who could ask for anything more?

Ebindas scored the solitary goal for India in U-16 National Team against LIWA FC in the international friendlies held at UAE.
India U-16 Beat Liwa FC 1-0 in a Friendly Match
India U-16 team won their first friendly match against Liwa FC during their stay in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Blue Colt was to face their first match against Al Hamriyah FC on 15 January. Due to the Corona cases from the opponent team. Certainly, the match was cancelled. Four players of Hamriyah FC test Positive.
However Indian team Management organized a match on 18 January against Liwa FC.
The match started with the same level of intensity from both teams. Neither of the team managed to score a goal by halftime. After half time India took over the possession.
India took lead over Liwa FC in the 71st minute, Ebindas received the ball in the penalty area due to a defensive lapse from the opponent’s defence. He made no mistake to slot the ball in the upper right corner.
Ebin has been training under LiFFA Trivandrum since 2018, and on his International debut, he inspired India’s under-16 side to the glory of India in a stunning 1-0 win over LIWA FC U-18 team and 4-2 win over Sharjah FC U-18 team.
It was a moment that underlined Ebindas possessing the best emerging talent in the country in his age category. Among all the names that have made an impact, Ebindas is the face of the next generation. Playing for the national team in an age category one year older than him is the biggest proof for this fact. This has made him cement his position as the key player in the next year’s U-16 Indian Team too.
Bibiano Fernandez took a shine to Ebindas from the moment he arrived in the national camp, So as Ebindas now revels in his glory with India’s young stars, we can reveal the inside story of how this next-generation star was unearthed.
So many of us spent those early school days in the playground, pretending we were going to be the next big thing. After he was selected into the LiFFA academy, that is exactly where Ebin’s dream began to come true.
“When Ebindas came into the LiFFA, one of the first things that were noticeable was that no one could get the ball off him.
Keeping His Feet on the Ground
Having a gift is one thing, but making it into the national squad is something so much more difficult.
We have all heard stories of players who were great as kids but failed to fulfil their potential. Many end up sat on a pub bar stool, recounting the days when they were on the brink of stardom with anyone who will listen.
Ebindas has taken everything in his stride, though.
Ebindas began to become more recognised in Kerala state when he played in national championships held at Banglore and Kolkatta. His performance was outstanding, and he went on to score 5 goals in the deciding match.
The Big Breakthrough
LiFFA were crying out for a local lad to wear the national colour. Almost everyone is expecting Ebindas to be that player after Shikku had made his mark earlier. Technically, he has it all. Mentally, he’s certainly on the right track too.
“He never makes a fuss and keeps it all to himself, and whenever he had scored goals, he rarely went into elaborate celebrations. He runs back to the halfway line almost always and waits eagerly for the next move with a smile on his face.”
While Ebin’s name may be new to football lovers nationally, this moment in the spotlight comes as no surprise to those closest to him.

I truly believe people repeat the latest media programming campaign without doing research or verifying information, even when it doesn’t make sense. I have seen the division regarding the importance of life, and I am grateful to those who fight for the unborn and vulnerable. Christina Bennett of Live Action would have been considered unwanted, inconvenient, and disposable. But because her brave mother ignored her boyfriend’s wishes; Christina’s life was spared. Today, Christina helps people learn what happens when a life is devalued and terminated.

It’s time for the monthly progress report, where on the first Monday of the month, I share where I am with my WIPs aka Work(s)-In-Progress. Let’s dive in, shall we?
I'll be honest. There's not much to report. Between the holidays and overall craziness of November, I checked out a little and didn't make the time to write as much as I probably should have.
But! I can still share an update because there was progress to be had. Not much. But some.
Zane is still my primary focus. I only went from 47% complete to 50%, but I'll take it. Hopefully, December will bring us closer to completion. I'm still thinking I'll wait until the last three books are written until I start releasing any of them.
Anyway, back to Zane. There's somewhere I want to take Zane's story and I'm currently at the part where I need to fill in the blanks of how I'll get him there, which honestly is another reason I didn't write much. My brain hasn't had the capacity or determination to fill in the missing pieces. We'll get there, though!
I recently shared a teaser from the first chapter in my last newsletter for those who elect a monthly subscription. Check it out and subscribe.
Derek (a Rebel y'all haven't met yet) and Cal have been quiet in the last month, but I'm getting a better feel of Cal and things he'll encounter in his story.
That's really all I've got. Not much of an update but I am still working albeit slowly.
As always, you for your support.
Until next time, happy reading. | <urn:uuid:201c2b87-1275-4522-a455-6eeeaf4e00a3> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://lindsaypaige.com/blogs/news/wip-progress-report-december-2023 | 2024-02-27T23:59:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.978346 | 359 |

I am trying to set up my podx3 live and I am having some issues. I have the dowload monkey and all drivers are up to date. I plugged my pod into the usb port but I am not getting any sound. I am using windows 8 and I am still trying to figure it out, so maybe there is some kind of config I am missing. I am using the built in sound card, Realtek High Def Audio, and have 2 KRK speakers running into the headphone jack. As far as playing media, I get sound from the computer just fine. Also, I am going to be recording using Sonarx2, so any suggestions setting that up with the pod would be greatly appreciatted. | <urn:uuid:9ef82bfa-dc00-4f3a-99ff-4c2592643767> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://line6.com/support/tags/realtek/ | 2024-02-28T00:06:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474688.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227220707-20240228010707-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.95836 | 160 |
