One-Minute Epics are poetic micro tales from John Klobucher’s Lore of the Underlings, a lyrical fantasy-fiction world. Please enjoy this installment… Edict of Thoom The High Priests of Merth had heard enough. Word of the unrest and strange goings on in Nord did not sit well with them, so they called for an unheard of Council of Lords to convene on the eve of the new year’s moon in Thoom, their stronghold and holy city crowned by the Temple of Rain and Sun. Prelates flocked from across the land and locked themselves away for days of debate, some of it so contentious that points were made with blades and fists. But the fur really flew when the priest of the west accused the eastern lord of concocting it all, the tales of things in the sky, of flying girls, martyrs, and thousands possessed. “I know you, Hennok. This smells like one of your tricks, a menace you’ve conjured up over Nord and its weak-minded, inbred folk. It’s no doubt merely a ruse to raise an army and resurrect the throne.” “I wish I’d thought of that,” Hennok laughed. “I’d order you skinned alive as my first royal act…” Then he gagged on his mug of wine and choked to death, poisoned with half of his faction. The west lord was strangled that night as she slept. The blood was still wet on the chamber floor when the council resumed deliberations. “Brothers! Sisters! We must stop these squabbles now,” cried the priest of birds and beasts. “The crisis grows with every sunrise — the crows have told me so. I believe them.” There was a dangerous silence before the wisest, the Sooth of the South, spoke up. “Be that as it may, what matters is… we must act before the Senate does.” All agreed and they issued the Edict of Thoom. It was written in crimson, posted, and read… “Hear ye, folk of the Underland!” yelled the herald, unrolling a lambskin scroll. “Harken — this is official business.” A hush fell over the wide-eyed crowd. “The Lordly have spoken from holy Thoom and offer this gift of four Commandments; heed them or not, on pain of death:” – Firstly, don’t gaze at the sky again. – No flying or dying without permission. – Speech is allowed, but not aloud. – Everything else is strictly forbidden. The messenger tucked away the scroll to leave, “Good luck with that, Underlings. You’ll need it — the High Priests have sent their knight.” And he laughed as he lumbered out of sight.

Written by Katie Pezzutto My upbringing wasn’t the worst, but it wasn’t ideal. As I’ve covered in previous articles, when I was twelve my mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a debilitating nerve disease. Around the same time, my dad left us. With dad out of the picture and mom living in a long-term care facility, I bunked in my grandparent’s windowless basement. My grandmother tried to make it homey, but it was a depressing space. The concave of a room reminded me of my heart, containing so much grief but constricted by circumstances out of my control. During those years, I often took my car into the mountains to try and escape the loneliness. The day I’m about to recount wasn’t any different. I remember the pain of loneliness was heavy and I needed a healthy distraction. I gassed up my phantom grey Toyota, shot out onto the icy highway, and made my way to a nearby mountain range to take pictures. As I snapped shots of pristine the ice and undisturbed snow beds, emotion overwhelmed me. If not for her chronic pain and the limitations of her wheelchair, my mother would be out here with me. As for my dad, who knows? I wasn’t enough to make him want to stay. And even if he was around, would he care enough to encourage me in the art forms I love? I bit my lip and stared at my footprints in the snow. “God, everything hurts. I need you, so much.” My proverbial mustard seed had taken flight and all I could do was wait. I stared at the snow-tipped peaks that stretched from east to west. In response to my prayer, no ancient foundations shook. The mountains remained unmoved. I rubbed my hands together, gripped my camera, and stared at the sky. Birds flew above silently. I would give anything for my heart to be free like they were. Anything. Something cool landed on the edge of my hand. A perfectly formed snowflake. As I studied the delicate pattern, I heard it. My heavenly Father’s voice echoed through the empty cavern of my heart. “Daughter.” It wasn’t merely a word; it was a promise. The cattle on all the hillsides are mine. I know the intricacies of what comprises you. I will provide you with exactly what you need. (Paraphrased from Psalm 50:10, Psalm 139:13, Philippians and 4:19, Psalm 68:5). Life is far from perfect. Things happen that we can’t explain. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding our upbringings or our understandable reservations, we need to trust that God has our best interests in mind. He wants to be with us. He wants us to feel Him near and to bring comfort when life is full of pain and answers seem far away. “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). Questions to ponder - Are there areas of your life that you have been holding back from your Father God? Remember, He is an approachable father who wants to help you. Consider on the truths expressed in Hebrews 4:16 and Psalm 138:3. - Do you not trust Him because of something that happened in your past? Take time to approach Him and ask the tough questions. While waiting for a response, don’t expect to meet Him in the way that seems most convenient. Instead, expect to meet Him in the way you most need (Isaiah 64:3-8). As someone who is growing in my trust of an infallible Father who will never abandon me, I join voices with Paul the Apostle in praying ).

- In the divorce case, will all information, documents and evidence provided by the spouses to the Court be considered confidential and if yes, shall the Court be obliged to keep it confidential? Currently, there is no provision in the Civil Proceedings Code which states that information from the documents and evidence provided by the spouses to the Court in a divorce case must be considered as confidential. Besides, through other legal provisions of relevant regulations, such information could not be considered confidential due to the following reasons: - Evidence provided by one spouse shall always be disclosed and made publicly available by the Court to the other spouses[2], except when the law provides otherwise. In order to ensure fairness and transparency in the process of proceedings between the spouses, the Court shall allow the spouse to access the documents and evidence provided by the other spouse to the Court. That is the reason why the civil proceedings always include a “Session checking the submission, access, disclosure of evidence and conciliation”[4]. In addition to the spouses in the case, those involved in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the spouses also have the right to access the documents and evidence. Additionally, the law requires that the spouses shall also send copies of the documents and evidence to the other spouses or their representatives when submitting documents and evidence to the Court. Therefore, the law will not prescribe information from documents and evidence submitted by the spouses to the Court as confidential information because this would interfere with the invoved spouses’ right to access the documents and evidence in a divorce case; - In principle, the Court shall conduct the hearing publicly, unless the case is subject to a closed trial. Therefore, information from documents and evidence provided by the spouses to the Court will also be made public during the trial[6]. In addition, in the course of a public trial, relatives or friends of the spouses or anyone else have the right to attend the trial. Therefore, the information from the documents and evidence provided by the spouses and their relatives and families to the Court are accessible and knowable to the spouses when they are used at the trial. However, there are still cases where the law requires the Court to keep the information provided by the spouses confidential as the nature of this information or the disclosure of such information may violate public interest or legitimate interests of the spouses. Therefore, the law prescribes that the procedure conducting authorities shall keep information related to the State secrets, preservation of the nation’s fine customs and practices, protection of minors, professional secrets, business secrets, personal secrets or family secrets of the spouses confidential. However, when it comes to any submitted information about the spouses, if a spouse makes a legitimate request to treat them as a confidential information, the Court shall not disclose this information publicly and shall inform the spouses about the documents and evidence which will not be rendered to the public[8]. The decision as to whether a document or evidence shall be kept confidential or not, except for those prescribed by the law on the protection of State secrets, is under Court decision but there have not been any specific guidance to be issued in this regard yet. Similarly, in special cases, it is necessary to keep State secrets, preserve the nation’s fine customs and practices, protect minors, keep professional secrets, business secrets, personal secrets and family secret of the spouses at their legitimate requests[10]. In such a case, only those summoned by the Court are allowed to attend the trial. Consequently, no one else is entitled to participate, even relatives, friends or a common children of the spouses. However, the applicable law does not have a specific regulation on cases which must be closed trial. Therefore, the Court has its full power to decide whether to hear the case in a closed or public trial. 2. If yes and in the event of compensating for damage if such confidential information is leaked outside in any form, will the Court pay compensation to the victims? If the information provided by the spouses is under the case that the Court has to keep it confidential and the spouses requested so to the Court then the Court shall keep it confidential. If the Court agrees to keep the information confidential, but later it is leaked outside (in any form), this means the Court has intentionally or unintentionally violated the regulations on protection of confidential information provided by the spouses. However, there is no legal provision on compensation liability of the Court in such cases. At present, when the Courts cause damage to the spouses or other individuals during their legal proceedings, the Courts must compensate in accordance with the law on State Compensation Liability. However, the Court only has to compensate in two cases of violation. Firstly, when they apply provisional emergency measures not complying with the regulations resulting in damage to any of the spouses. Secondly, when the Courts issues judgements or decisions with their clear awareness that it is unlawful or intentionally falsifying case files. There is currently no provision regarding the Court’s obligation to compensate in the case of information leakage causing damage to the spouses. If the information was leaked due to the procedure conductor’s fault, the aggrieved person may file a complaint to the Court where the case is being handled together with a compensation claim to obtain damages (if any). In this case even though it is not governed by the Law on State Compensation Liability, it is still an act of infringement of the proceedings and directly infringes the spouses’ legitimate rights and interests. Consequently, a victim may still lodge his or her complaint under Article 499 of the Civil Proceedings Code. The Civil Proceedings Code also provides the complainant the right to make a claim that their lawful rights and interests were infringed upon under Article 500 of the Civil Proceedings Code. When making a complaint, the spouse should clearly identify the object of the complaint, the person who leaked the information and the enclosed documents and evidence proving his or her fault (whether it was unintentional or intentional) in the legal proceedings to expose the information to outside. The obligation to prove belongs to the damage sufferers. [2] Article 109.1 of the 2015 Civil Proceedings Code. [4] Article 208 of the 2015 Civil Proceedings Code. [6] Article 15.2 of Civil Proceedings Code 2015. [8] Article 109.2 of the Civil Proceedings Code 2015. [10] Article 15.2 of the Civil Proceedings Code 2015.

Choosing the Right Furniture For Your Patio Your garden patio provides you with valuable outside space, and dressed with the right furniture can deliver a quality external living area. The variety of patio furniture sets and accessories available in the UK is vast. However, with some careful consideration and research you could purchase patio furniture that makes a stylish impact upon your garden whilst delivering comfort for years to come. Price Many outlets now offer small patio. Style and size So, you have decided to buy some patio furniture for your garden, terrace or balcony, but how should it look? Consider your surroundings. If you are living in a modern house or apartment complex then you may want to avoid the very traditional style of furniture such as wrought iron or intricate cast aluminium which are perhaps better suited to a cottage garden. In recent years the garden furniture market has been revolutionised by the introduction of resin wicker, a synthetic replacement for natural rattan. This stylish method of. If you are limited in terms of your outdoor space take measurements of your patio or balcony and use them when choosing your furniture. Remember that in a shop or on a photo the size of the furniture can be deceptive. You do not want to order furniture only to find that it is too big and bulky for the area it was intended for. Storage For many, the UK seasons mean that outside living space can usually only be enjoyed at length during spring and summer. During the cold and wet autumn and winter months it is a good idea to store your patio furniture in doors and at the very least it should be covered. Before you make your purchase you should consider where it could be stored when not in use. If your storage space is limited then you should try and purchase furniture that can fold flat or stack. In the past some folding furniture had a tendency to look functional rather than stylish but today this is no longer the case. In some cases it is in fact quite hard to spot a folding chair from a solid chair. Construction If you are a fan of DIY then you will probably not be phased by the task of building your patio furniture. However, if you really do not want to build it yourself then avoid anything sold as “flat packed”. There are plenty of patio sets on the market which are ready to use and can be delivered built. Look out for stacking chairs that are often supplied ready for use. Due to their size tables are often delivered with the legs requiring attachment to the top. If you are concerned about the amount of work required to build then you should speak to the retailer prior to ordering. There are a number of online retailers offering quality patio furniture sets at very competitive prices so with a quick search you could be enjoying your outside space in no time at all!

In his award-winning The Origins of the Urban Crisis, historian Thomas J. Sugrue used Detroit as the ultimate case study of what happened in the industrial North. Sugrue reconsidered the history to challenge what has often been presented as a simple three-act drama: '60s black unrest, white flight and municipal decline. Sugrue starts his story decades earlier. Origins looked at the racism that hemmed in growing numbers of black city dwellers, at corporate disinvestment and the relocation of industry starting soon after World War II, at government policies (from housing policies to the expansion of freeways, for instance) that fostered segregated suburbs, among other factors. Sugrue's latest book, Sweet Land of Liberty, states its revisionist goal in its subtitle: The Forgotten Struggle for Civil Rights in the North. And while Detroit isn't the central case, Detroit figures in the story repeatedly, including struggles over jobs and housing and public accommodations, the riot of 1943, the rebellion of 1967, and the pivotal school busing case of the early 1970s. Likewise, Detroiters such as the late Kermit Bailer, later head of the city's law department, appear often. The book doesn't aim to detract from the heroic struggle against Jim Crow in the South, but to offer a wider context and a messier story. (For one thing, the Northern story lacks such dramatic bookends as, say, Rosa Parks' bus-seat protest and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) The following excerpted passage is one that illuminates black life in cities like Detroit after World War II. The indignities of everyday Jim Crow took a real toll among northern blacks. Kermit Bailer, born in Detroit in 1921, a Tuskegee Airman during World War II, a civil rights activist in the postwar city, describes the exhaustion of living "with racism twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, thirty days a month, and three hundred and sixty five days a year." Bailer could have been writing about Alabama, but he wasn't. Of mid-twentieth-century Detroit, a place that many called the 'northernmost southern city," Bailer's memories were bitter. "In those days, life was dominated by racial discrimination. ... What I am talking about is living a very narrow life in a large dynamic city with a host of opportunities but for 'whites only.'" The gap between the rhetoric and reality of northern segregation also outraged many black migrants who found themselves negotiating an unpredictable maze of racial proscriptions in the "promised land." Returning veterans were particularly infuriated. William M. Ashby, a longtime Urban League activist in Newark, spoke for his fellow veterans: "They said: I'm tired of all this goddamn crap. Tired of hearing the white man say, 'I can serve no niggers in my restaurant,' tired of being told, 'I ain't got no place for colored in my hotel.' Why,, 'Take your goddam boots off my neck!'" To negotiate northern Jim Crow was exhausting, demoralizing, and often dangerous. Travelers faced particular risks. Salesmen and railway workers frequently found rooms in Negro YMCAs, even though, as in New York, the Y's dormitories were usually far from train stations and bus depots. Often travelers relied on conversations with redcaps, the black porters who served white railway passengers. Some relief came with the publication of the Negro Motorist Green-Book in 1937, a black Baedeker that gave "the Negro traveler information that will keep him from running into difficulties, embarrassments, and to make his trips more enjoyable." Black newspapers also ran advertisements for "race" hotels and restaurants. Ebony published an annual summer vacation guide beginning in 1947, and over the curse of the 1950s, several other publishers issued competing guides. In Detroit, those with money stayed at the Gotham; in Chicago, they found rooms at the Pershing on the South Side; in New York, at Harlem's Hotel Theresa. Travelers on a tight budget could usually rely on word of mouth to find someone renting out a room in a black neighborhood. Black vacationers could find cabins or tourist rooms in an archipelago of black resorts throughout the Northeast and Midwest, places from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Idlewild, Michigan. Even celebrities such as Josephine Baker, Paul Robeson, Dorothy Dandridge, and Marian Anderson had a hard time finding rooms and faced restaurant Jim Crow when they toured the North. When she arrived in New York from Paris in 1948, Baker and her husband were turned away from thirty-six hotels before they found a room. Paul Robeson was expelled from the lobby of Detroit's posh Book-Cadillac Hotel and refused service in an upscale San Francisco restaurant. Lena Horne was bounced from a Chicago restaurant that adopted a "members only" policy as soon as she asked for a table. An Oakland, California, restaurant made Duke Ellington's band sit at a table behind a curtain where they would not be seen by white customers. And in Minneapolis, where she had a singing engagement, Marian Anderson had to stay in the Phyllis Wheatley House, the local black YWCA, because she could not get a hotel room. In Dayton, Ohio, where hotels practiced "stringent discrimination" against blacks, Anderson found accommodations at a white hotel, but only after its staff worked out advance arrangements so she "didn't register or come anywhere near the desk." Occasionally black travelers engaged in subterfuge to get access in white-run restaurants or hotels. One troupe of actors, tired of eating in "all but the cheapest of restaurants" and staying in the "most fleabitten hotels," donned turbans and spoke in "stage gibberish" to gain entrance to white-run hotels. Those who knew foreign languages could take advantage of the ignorance of white proprietors and pass themselves off as Spanish, Arabic, or even in one case "Hebrew." But most black travelers did not risk humiliation of being rebuffed at a hotel or treated rudely at a restaurant. Those traveling in the long stretches of the suburban and rural North where there were few if any blacks, often slept in their cars. They avoided white-run businesses altogether. A public official in Atlantic City, a resort that attracted large number of blacks as well as whites, reported: "It is seldom a sensible colored man will thrust himself in where he is not wanted." Thomas J. Sugrue addresses the Richard C. Van Dusen Forum on Urban Issues on Thursday, Feb. 26, in Wayne State's McGregor Memorial Conference Center. For information call 313-577-8819.

Other than Xu Yi, there were three people who Viscount Leslie never would have thought would be here. It was Victor, Cell, and Urgot. What surprised Viscount Leslie more was that these people were happily talking to Xu Yi, looking like they were old friends. When Viscount Leslie came in, Victor was currently explaining something to Xu Yi with words and gestures. “Thirty gold coins? Chairman Xu, you think that our Anvilmar City is a small place like your Banta City? Oh, it’s not that I’m looking down on you, please don’t mind it. My meaning is that if you only sell it for thirty gold coins each, aren’t you underestimating the rich people of our Anvilmar City? Let me tell you, as long as that Magic Air Conditioner you described is really that convenient, not to mention thirty gold coins, a bunch of people would still buy it if you doubled the price! Then again, for the people of our upper society group, what is most important? Money? Of course not! The most important thing is face! Think about it, even the small nobles of Banta City are using this new thing like the Magic Air Conditioner, so how could our Anvilmar City not have any? That is too shameful! So, chairman Xu, don’t you think I’m right? We should just double the price, going from thirty gold coins for one to fifty gold coins for one is definitely not a problem!” After saying this, Victor even slapped his chest, “I promise that even at this price, you’ll have no problem selling several hundreds of them in Anvilmar City!” Xu Yi knit his brows, “Only several hundred? Young master Victor, excuse me for being impolite, but I think your eyes are set too small. My goal is to sell several thousand units in Anvilmar City or even up to ten thousand units.” “Ah?” Victor’s mouth dropped wide open and he looked at Cell and Urgot in blank dismay, “Thousands of units? This…..Chairman Xu, although our Anvilmar City has many rich people, tens of gold coins is not a small number. Those that can casually take that out…..perhaps there aren’t that many.” Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “Perhaps there aren’t that many now, but once the kingdom’s economy develops, naturally there would be more.” Victor scratched his head and had a confused look, “Chairman Xu, I don’t understand this economical development you mentioned, so let’s not talk about this now. With what we can see now, I feel that it’s already pretty good if we can sell one thousand units in Anvilmar City.” “Alright, since young master Victor thinks we can sell one thousand units, then let’s set it at this number for now.” Xu Yi said with a nod, “Of course, providing you with a thousand units right away is not realistic, our company can’t produce that many right now. How about this, I’ll give you fifty units first. Before sending them over, I’ll have to ask young master Victor, young master Cell, and young master Urgot to advertise them with all your effort first. It’s best if you can sell the first batch of Magic Air Conditioners right away, which is another form of advertisement and it’ll allow you to see what the market is like. What do you all think?” The three of them all revealed wide smiles, but then Victor’s smile became awkward as he said to Xu Yi, “This…..Chairman Xu, according to the price of twenty five gold coins per unit, fifty units would be one thousand two hundred and fifty gold coins. This…...This…..Although we brothers have some money and can seek a bit of support from our families, to take out this much all at once, I’m afraid……” Xu Yi laughed and waved his hand as he generously said, “The three young master shouldn’t look down on me, it’s just a trivial one thousand two hundred and fifty gold coins. With the status of the three young masters, how could I need you to pay this amount in advance? I’ll make the decision to first put this amount in an account. After you sell the first batch of Magic Air Conditioners, the three young master can just repay me. I believe that with the skills of the three young masters, you will be able to sell them in Anvilmar City and quickly earn back these gold coins.” The eyes of the three lit up and Victor excitedly shouted, “Chairman Xu, are you serious?” Xu Yi revealed a dissatisfied look, “Young master Victor, if you don’t believe me, it’s better if we don’t do business together.” Victor quickly grabbed Xu Yi’s arm and kept saying, “I do, I do, I do, of course I believe chairman Xu. Alright, it’s all set. Have your people send the fifty…..No, it’s best if you give us a week to prepare first. Once we are prepared, have your people send the fifty Magic Air Conditioners over.” Xu Yi nodded with a faint smile, “Alright, I will be in Anvilmar City for another week or so. If you have any ideas during this time, you can come look for me.” Victor’s group of three looked at each other before they all revealed smiles. After talking about a few more things, Victor’s group of three left with wide smiles. When they left, Viscount Leslie came out from his hidden spot and entered the main hall. He looked over Xu Yi like it was his first time meeting him. “Xu Yi, although I always felt that you had powerful interpersonal skills, but I never thought that in just a single time, you would be mixing with those three fellows. Moreover, based on what you were just discussing, are you preparing to do business with them?” “When did the Lord Viscount arrive?” Xu Yi looked at him in surprise before looking in the direction the three walked off in. He said with a smile, “It was just a coincidence. What? Lord Viscount, you feel that it isn’t good to cooperate with them?” Viscount Leslie shook his head, “Those three fellows have been good for nothing since they were young and aren’t good at business. With you choosing to cooperate with them, I’m worried you will suffer a loss.” Xu Yi smiled and looked relaxed, “I can suffer the loss from fifty Magic Air Conditioners. Then again, this is also an investment and if it succeeds, it will bring me rich profits. As a merchant, if I wasn’t willing to take this bit of risk, I might as well focus on studying magic instead.” “Investment?” Viscount Leslie looked at Xu Yi with a doubtful gaze, “You have only met them once the day before yesterday and don’t know anything about them, so why are you certain they are worth investing in?” Xu Yi gave a smile to Viscount Leslie as he said, “Lord Viscount, for you to know them and be qualified to be taught a lesson by you, they wouldn’t be from normal families, right?” Viscount Leslie instantly became happy, “Is this considered you flattering me? Fine, your guess is correct. Although those three kids are good for nothings, the families behind them have a bit of power in Anvilmar City, so you cooperating with the three of them was correct. Those three fellows are considered the local bullies, so they know many people and many paths. They can’t do anything big, but helping you sell some Magic Air Conditioners and opening the market is not a problem. Of course, that is on the premise they are willing to do this.” Xu Yi laughed, “Each time a Magic Air Conditioner is sold, they can earn five gold coins. Do you think they are willing to work hard on this?” Viscount Leslie couldn’t help laughing, “Those three fellows are strictly managed by their families and their finances are normally tight, so they are definitely willing to do anything that earns money quickly. But Xu Yi, I have to warn you that there have been other companies who have looked for them and was smashed by them in the end. Even if they work hard, that does not mean they will do well.” Xu Yi shook his head, “I’ve already said this, this is an investment. Of course there are risks in investing, but it doesn’t matter if they completely fail or not. As long as they can let the people of Anvilmar City know about Magic Air Conditioners, it’s fine.” Viscount Leslie gave a slight nod, “That is also right. In the end, the things you make are unique items on the Sines Continent. Just based on the novelty of it, there are many people who are willing to try it, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.” Xu Yi gave a proud smile. He changed the topic and asked, “That’s right, Lord Viscount, why are you here so early? Did you need me for something?” “No, it’s nothing special. You’re going to the Magicians Guild for the qualification certification exam, so as a friend, I should send you there.” Xu Yi looked at him with a bit of surprise. He thought that even though he and Viscount Leslie could be considered close, the status between the two were too different and they couldn’t be considered friends at all. Moreover, his relationship with Viscount Leslie back in Banta City was considered not too close, so why did he suddenly become this friendly? “The Lord Viscount is too polite.” Xu Yi said with a smile, “Only this is just a qualification certification test, it isn’t anything especially important. How could it require you to send me there?” “You seem confident.” Viscount Leslie shook his head, “Xu Yi, let me ask you something and I hope you’ll answer honestly.” “Please ask Lord Viscount.” “With the current level of your magic, what grade magician test can you pass?” Xu Yi slightly knit his brows as he looked at Viscount Leslie with a bit of confusion. Viscount Leslie really was a bit strange today. He actually came here to ask him his real magic level. “If nothing unexpected happens, I can pass the Fourth Grade Magician exam. If I’m lucky, perhaps I can pass the Fifth Grade.” Xu Yi thought about it before responding. “Oh?” Viscount Leslie was a bit surprised, “This means that your strength is already approaching that of a Fifth Grade Magician?” “Yes.” Xu Yi gave a slight nod. “That’s good. Xu Yi, I have a small request and I hope you can agree to it.” Viscount Leslie paused for a bit before saying, “After passing the Primary Grade Test, I want you to directly take the Fifth Grade Magician exam.” “Directly take the Fifth Grade?” Xu Yi looked at Viscount Leslie in shock, “Lord Viscount, I said just now that if my luck was good, I can pass the Fifth Grade Magician exam. That does not mean that I’ll definitely pass. The Magicians Guild only holds the exam once per year and if I don’t pass the Fifth Grade exam, that means I’ll at most be considered a Primary Grade Magician this time.” “Didn’t you not care about this anyway?” Viscount Leslie said. Xu Yi couldn’t help knitting his brows, “Lord Viscount, why do you want me to do this? Although what grade magician I am doesn’t matter to me, I am being specially recommended by Great Magician Camilla this time, so I don’t wish to let down his expectations.” Viscount Leslie was silent for a bit before giving a sigh and waving his hand, “Alright, treat it like I didn’t mention this matter and you can forget about it.” Xu Yi looked at Viscount Leslie’s expression and felt this was even more strange. This Lord Viscount, what was with him

Neighboring convenience stores, new gym and Sardis Road truck stop approved The debate over Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission‘s approval of two neighboring convenience stores shows why regulation changes are pending. “This is one of the reasons why I think we can’t get new zoning regs fast enough, ” P&Z chairwoman Jeane Easom said during the commission’s administrative meeting Monday. First up, commissioners approved Raxit Patel’s conditional use request to put what he calls a “small grocery” with fuel pumps in the old Taco Bell at 1212 Eisenhower Parkway, not far west from Interstate 75. The commission also approved a conditional use request for Kareem Ali to build a brand new convenience store with gas pups at 1250 Eisenhower Parkway, next door to the Sunoco Store at the corner of Pio Nono. Willam Larson, an attorney representing Patel, actually spoke against Ali’s proposal because of the proximity to his client’s project. In the vicinity of that 1200 block, there are two other existing convenience stores on the other side of Eisenhower. “We don’t need that many convenience stores,” Easom said. “They would beg to differ with you,” P&Z Executive Director Jim Thomas noted of the applicants at the hearing. P&Z Commissioner Gary Bechtel noted that in this stretch of commercial blight “we have two people who wish to invest millions of dollars to put these two properties in service.” Easom said she is “all for anybody opening a business and be successful,” but she worries what will happen to the buildings if the businesses fail due to too much competition in the neighborhood. Bechtel said the commission needs to determine what is the best use for that land. “I think that’s what we have to determine and not try to read into the future if somebody is going to make it or not,” Bechtel said. The commission has enacted a moratorium on convenience store applications so they can further study what should guide their decisions. These two projects were filed before the moratorium was approved. Jim Rollins and Robert Moore, who represented Ali at the hearing, said they also have plans for a light industrial manufacturing facility in a deal that is pending for the old vacant Piggly Wiggly on the same large parcel of the shopping center. A future public work session is planned to include the convenience store industry in the discussion of how such properties would be handled going forward. New gym approved for north Macon Max Fitness, which recently opened a 40,000 square-foot-location on Sutherlin Drive in Warner Robins, will be opening a new 36,000 square-foot-gym at 4154 Riverside Drive, just north of Sue Drive. P&Z commissioners approved the conditional use for the 9 acres zoned for agriculture, which includes certain recreational uses. Fitness manager Jeremy Blowers said they hope to close on the land by the end of the year with construction expected to take at least a year. “It’s going to be a large facility and will have boutiques inside,” Blower said. The fitness center will include a large, family-oriented pool and tanning beds. Sardis Church truck stop cleared for construction Concerned residents packed into P&Z meetings in February and April to protest rezoning for a new truck stop at 5250 Sardis Church Road, but no one spoke against the project’s final approval Monday. Although commissioners originally deferred February’s rezoning request to allow for a traffic study, they rezoned the land from agricultural to planned development industrial in April. Monday, David Stoniecki of the Forsyth Group was back to show commissioners the final site plan for the Travel Centers of America location and its two outparcels for future development. “This is a great property to continue servicing the industrial needs of the area,” Stoniecki said. A stream, wetlands and a 150 foot-buffer will remain on the west side of the property adjacent to the residential neighborhood home to many of those who were opposed to the project. Lights will be shining upward and away from houses. “They will obviously still see a glow where there is not one now,” Thomas noted in the pre-meeting before the hearing. The spring traffic study showed additional traffic from that second truck stop across the street from the existing Love’s location is still under the Georgia Department of Transportation’s threshold for a traffic light. Negotiations are underway with Macon-Bibb County traffic engineers and the Macon-Bibb County Industrial Authority, Stoniecki said. Entities are expected to share the cost of any future traffic signal at Frank Amerson Parkway, he said. Other items approved: 384 Buford Place – new fence approved. 497 Second Street – new sign approved for Kinjo Kitchen. 636 – 696 Pio Nono Ave. – church approved in existing 5,000 square-foot-warehouse. 682 Cherry Street – new signs approved for Hotel 45 in the old Southern Trust building bordering Cotton Avenue and First Street. 915 Ross Ave. – landscaping renovations approved. 979 Edgewood Ave. – exterior modifications approved. 5021 Mercer University Drive – 3-wheeled motorcycle, or Slingshot, rental facility approved.

Regardless of size, managing accounts receivable is an important element in running a successful forwarding operation. Credit terms are usually set at the beginning of the customer relationship through a credit agreement that stipulates a credit limit, payment terms, and interest rate, and is signed by representatives of the forwarder and the customer. Late payment is often seen as a cost of doing business, but often chronically late payers become delinquent. By the time the forwarder closes in to realize their account through a court judgment or seizure order, all that is left is an empty piece of paper with a corporate number. And while the credit agreement was executed by a signing officer – often a director – the agreement binds only the company and not the individual representative, who too often forms a new company and begins anew their pattern of late payment and delinquency. A recent Queen’s Bench case, however, indicates that in some circumstances a creditor will be able to claim against the individual officer as well as the corporation. The case involved a claim by a plaintiff clothing manufacturing company against a corporate debtor and it’s director personally. The defendant corporation was a wholesaler of clothing located in England. It had done business for many years with the manufacturer in Bulgaria, originally a state-owned factory but a private enterprise by the time the dispute arose. The purchaser was a habitual later payer. In 1998, amid growing concern about its customer’s ability to pay, the manufacturer sat down with the sole executive director to execute a new credit agreement covering a further two-year relationship and requiring almost immediate payment of past-due accounts and a strict thirty-day payment schedule for new business. On the strength of this agreement the manufacturer continued to trade on terms with the defendant corporation, which was in fact insolvent and which was never able to clear its accounts. The manufacturer brought suit against both the debtor corporation and the officer who had signed the agreement. It argued that the new agreement necessarily included a representation that the corporation had the resources to satisfy its debts. At the time of the agreement, however, the director was aware that the corporation could not meet the terms of the agreement and there was no reasonable prospect for it to return to solvency and satisfy its debts. The Court accepted this argument, which led to the conclusion that there had been deceit by the director and the company in the execution of the new agreement. England’s Statute of Frauds Amendment Act 1828 includes a provision at s 6 that : ‘No, unless such representation or assurance be made in writing, signed by the party to be charged therewith.’ The Court did not allow this to stand as a defence to the director’s personal liability. In addition to his own deceit, he had procured the deceit of the corporation, which was actionable. At the same time, the director and the company were making false representations jointly about the creditworthiness of the company. As the representations were joint, they were not representations about the credit of “any other person”, and were therefore outside the protection of the section. The Court also rejected the proposition that the individual defendant’s status as a director could shield him from personal liability. The Courts have long wrestled with the conflicting policy interests between preserving the limited liability nature of an incorporation and ensuring that individuals can beheld accountable for their tortious conduct. Where a director acts only through the constitutional organs of the corporation, he or she is free from liability. Where, as here, the director commits deceit himself and also procures the company to do so, the policy of the law must be in favour of a remedy, and the director may be held as a joint tortfeasor with the company.

Yes, you read that right. Psychic hairdresser. It’s not often you hear those two words in the same sentence, but Ashlee McDonald will not only cut and colour your hair but will call on your guardian angels and have an entire conversation with them while you wait for foils. Sounds odd, but after 18 years in the hair and make-up industry, Northern Beaches hairdresser Ashlee said she realised she had another calling when she discovered her mediumship abilities. “I fell in love with yoga and meditation in 2014 and spirituality and tarot became my number one hobbies travelling to India and meeting my guru and learning about energy healing and soon started developing my mediumship abilities reading for friends and family,” says Ashlee while she started on my foils… “Now I combine hair and make-up and mediumship into a full-time business and my number one passion is not just making people look beautiful but healing the inside as well,” she adds. A skeptic but somewhat curious, I asked Ashlee (pictured) to give me a reading and she asked for a piece of jewellery that I frequently wear. I gave her my wedding ring and after she had finished my foils she got to work and closed her eyes while she “tuned into my guardian angels.” “I see Paris. Why do I see Paris?” she asked. “Oh Paris is where I got engaged,” I answered covered in goosebumps. “Oh now I have your grandfather with me, along with your grandmother, they are together and talking over one another like they are fighting for my attention,” added Ashlee. Now, It is actually weird that she mentions this as my grandparents died at the same time and when they were alive all they did was argue, I resist telling Ashlee this as I want to hear more. She continues to talk about family stuff, most of which is quite generic but then she talks about my mother and asks me to pass on a special message to her, which I later do and my mum is pleasantly surprised. After my reading, my hair is transformed from dull brown to glossy chestnut with blonde highlights and I feel relaxed and refreshed and armed with interesting insights about my family. Her treatment with colour, cut and blowdry was $280 and her reading is charged out at $100 for 30 minutes. It was a well-spent $380 for me, plus she came to our house free of charge which is another bonus. “I had an amazing reading with Ash. She was kind, insightful and compassionate. She made me feel comfortable straight away. She used multiple methods to give me advice and much-needed direction which was truly life-changing,” another client confessed to me later. “Little things she said that seemed impossible at the time soon came to fruition, such as moving house and even where I moved to. I was feeling so rudderless and lost when I saw her, but her direction and insight was spot on,” they added. “She was also able to channel my Mum who’d recently passed away, which was a truly magical experience and helped me process further through my grief. Receiving messages from my Mum was the most incredible gift she gave me, I’ll be forever grateful to Ash and I will definitely be booking in next time I need some guidance or a check-in with my Mum.” For more info visit @holistichairtherapysydney This is not in any way a sponsored piece, just a interesting little local encounter by our lifestyle editor Faye James.

Australia is the Drunkest Country in the World, Study Confirms From the first time that frothy gold elixir hits the lips, our birthright is sealed. As a nation of drinkers, there’s nothing more Australian than getting absolutely written off on the weekend. In fact, looking through our (entirely contentious) colonial history, alcohol-fuelled exploits have excelled in the public eye like few other countries, and apparently, it’s now official. A new global drug survey has revealed that Australians are getting sloshed at a far higher rate than the rest of the world, confirming long-held suspicions that we are a nation of drunkards. But aside from just stating the obvious, the Global Drug Survey’s (GDS) 2021 report makes for interesting reading. The latest edition of the annual survey intro drug and alcohol consumption habits revealed that the average global drinker hit the turps around 14.6 times a year. Quick maths suggests that figure equates to just over once a month, however, Down Under, we’re a little bit more frequent with our festivities. According to the study, Australians get drunk 27.7 times a year, more than twice per month. While the numbers do indicate a stark difference in the way Aussies consume alcohol, one point that must be raised is the definition of ‘being drunk’. Anecdotally, some drinkers may count light-headiness or loss of inhibition as the tell-tale signs, while others only count the night out as a winner if they blackout. Naturally, the study has outlined its own stipulations on what being inebriated actually looks like, and it is…telling. “We defined drunk as ‘having drunk so much that your physical and mental faculties are impaired to the point where your balance/speech was affected, you were unable to focus clearly on things and that your conversation and behaviours were very obviously different to people who know you’,” the report states. The assessment seems fair, but while Australians proved to be the most likely to get drunk, we weren’t exactly ashamed of it. The report went on to explain how many respondents felt regret for getting drunk, of which only 24.4 per cent did, landing us in ninth place worldwide. Furthermore, the report confirmed that the biggest cause of regret amongst drinkers was drinking too much too quickly. “On average, respondents from Ireland felt the most regret this year, regretting it about a quarter of the time. Those from Denmark had the fewest regrets,” the report states. “If you are getting drunk and regretting it then clearly you are not having a good time. But the good news is, that this is all completely avoidable. Drinking too much too quickly, mixing your drinks and drinking with people who drink a lot were the top three reasons people said they regretted getting drunk.” The latest survey from the GDS does put things into perspective, but it must be taken with a grain of salt. The authors said that the results were all the more important in light of “how COVID-19 changed people’s drug-using behaviours especially with regard to alcohol, cannabis and cocaine”. Additionally, they explained that the survey’s findings were not representative of wider populations as a whole. According to the GDS, the data utilised comes from a sample of respondents with “significantly higher” patterns of drug use compared to the general population. Whatever the case, you can’t but think there is some truth to the findings. The suggestion that Australia is leading the world in terms of binge drinking isn’t exactly a surprise. After all, we made ‘Get on the Beers’ a legitimate hit. You can check out the survey below for more insights, and similarly, if you’re struggling with addiction, visit Lifeline and ask for help.

Why Are There So Many VoIP Providers? To know why there are more VoIP providers nowadays, we first need to apprehend what VoIP actually is. So, those who do not have a clear idea about what is meant, have landed on the right piece of content to have a clear understating of it. VoIP technology basically refers to the transmission of voice over digital signals. Thus, customers can make calls using a VoIP phone or a computer. You can say that it is a phone service that is delivered via the internet. Voice over Internet Protocol allows users to make phone calls while using their internet connection. Nowadays, consumers usually opt for bundle offers to avail of digital phone, internet, and/or TV services altogether. Bundle offers cost less when multiple services from the same provider are combined, as compared to the standalone services taken individually. If you are looking for some of the finest offers for Voice, click for more and find yourself a perfect one. Now that you have the basic know-how of what VoIP services are, let us proceed to the part yet to be answered, i.e., why are there so many providers? If you want to satisfy your curiosity as to why there has been a considerable increase in the number of providers in recent years, then here are all the reasons that might appeal to you. Dive in! What is VoIP? Voice over Internet Protocol refers to the standards for providing voice-based phone calls over the internet rather than a local landline. People usually use VoIP to convert voice data into digital signals and transmit them over the internet. This digital data that is received is then uncompressed and we get to hear it through the headset or speakerphones. Reasons for Rapid Growth of VoIP Providers Let us have a deeper look at the factors responsible for the rapidly growing VoIP providers: - Improved Quality VoIP offers high-quality features when it comes to bringing more productive results. A business is likely to become better and more profitable by making use of VoIP services. The installation process is pretty simple and does not take much time. It allows you to make calls to different parts of the world with proficient voice quality. This means that the user is not bound to a particular room or place to be able to communicate over VoIP. - Use in Household Initially, VoIP service started as a phone service for people. Soon it was used to grab customers since it offered unlimited calls. Users can install apps easily on their smartphones and start making free calls. Since mobile phones are very handy and almost every person uses them, this has added to the popularity of VoIP apps in recent times. - Use in Freelancing Entrepreneurs can greatly benefit from the VoIP services and their outstanding features available at cheaper prices. You just have to put in your input to leave a striking impression on the customers. Thus, it has a lot to offer to entrepreneurs and freelancers. - Use in Larger Businesses Large businesses can also make the most out of VoIP services when it comes to staying in contact with potential customers. Business owners can arrange video calls and meetings over VoIP, especially in pandemic times, when it is already difficult to arrange meetings physically. - Cost-Effectiveness VoIP proves to be more cost-effective for placing routine or business calls than the landline. It requires minimal money to invest in the hardware or for maintenance. You also do not have to worry about spending much on any upgrades. Moreover, it is easy to add a new number to the line and you do not require professional help. - Greater Portability A virtual number or VoIP offers greater portability. Those who are always on the go and traveling around can use the same number wherever they go. Therefore, it is more portable. You can retain the same number even if your business location changes. - More Accessibility Apart from cost-effectiveness, it also offers greater accessibility to all sorts of businesses. The cloud-based VoIP service allows calls to be made from anywhere. With the help of a reliable internet connection, you can make or get calls, and in case you are unable to attend a call, you can direct it to another person if you want. You can receive voicemails. What adds to the increase in accessibility it offers is the fact that you can take your business phone along as long as you have a software app. In recent times, when remote working and mobile workforce is a growing trend, VoIP adds to productivity no matter where the employees are located. - Crystal-Clear Voice Quality If you have a fast and consistent internet connection, the voice quality will never be a concern. It allows crisp and clear calls with minimal or no latency problems. Gone are the days when the call quality was weak and the latency issues were a major concern. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the VoIP phone at its best, you must have strong internet connectivity. VoIP phones can put an end to any kind of interruptions or distortions with the help of noise cancellation microphones and advanced audio compression features. This is why VoIP can provide you extraordinary audio quality, being an ideal choice for business communication. - Better Security People might not think much about the security factor for their phone system but it is an important aspect to consider. You would want to avoid any fraudulent calls or scams. For that, VoIP can safeguard against any such threats by making use of IP technology like encryption features or enhanced identity features. Hosted providers can protect the network and you do not have to worry at all. So, it is always a good choice to coordinate with a reliable VoIP provider to stay safe and ensure the implementation of effective security practices.

But all I am planning to do today is take down the tree and all the Christmas decorations, and then store them back in the storage closet until they come right back out again next year. And then I will clean the house a little bit. Okay. As you can guess, not much news. At all.

Bid Bond. Your go-to for guaranteed work in the construction sector Whenever a project goes public, the owner looks for a construction company to complete it. Usually, the owner sets up a tender on which contractors can apply for the job. Whoever is the best gets to work on the project. The tender can be made by a private entity or a government institution. Both follow the same route but differ in certain details. One of the most important documents that a contractor must provide, aside from the required General Contractor Liability Insurance, is the Bid Bond. What is a Bid Bond? By definition, a Bid Bond is a type of bond that serves to protect the project owner in the bidding process. It guarantees that the bidder will compensate the owner in the event of the inability to fulfil the duties named in the bid. Companies obtain Bid Bonds through banks and insurance agencies like Farmerbrown.com. Companies, in almost 100% of the cases, work with a certain bank, and have some type of insurance in place. They usually choose the same partner to provide a Bid Bond for them. How to obtain a Bid Bond? The Bid Bond is a document in which the bank or insurance company guarantees that you have the required funds. This document will serve as a proof for the project owner that you’re a serious bidder. If you opt to go through a bank, you’ll need to provide the details for the project. A staff member of the bank will go through the information and prepare the documents. Depending on factors, such as the type of project, location, and cost, amongst others, you’ll be given a price that you must pay. If the project is small, the price can be in the region of $200. Larger projects might cost you more. What obligations does a Bid Bond carry? The real purpose of the Bid Bond is to prove to the owner that you’re not going to back down during the project. If you do, the bond will be activated. It means that a certain percent of the project cost will be taken by the owner. Usually, privately set tenders ask for 5% to 10% of the entire bidding sum, but federal projects can go as high as 20%. In other words, if you bid $5 million for a particular project, and the owner asks for a 10% Bid Bond, you’ll need to provide one and have $500,000 in your bank account. If you fail to meet the agreed terms, the owner can withdraw this money. When are project owners allowed to withdraw these funds? All tenders have a time frame that needs to be respected. If the bidder fails to meet them, the bond will be activated. Also, if the bidder changes the terms after they are chosen, the bond will be activated, and the owner will have to hire another company for the job. In rare cases, the contractor faces difficulties in meeting the demands of the project. The business may fail. The company might encounter serious problems that prevent them from completing the build. Whatever the reasons are, the projector owner has the right to activate the bond as the contractor couldn’t meet the agreed demands. So, as you can see, Bid Bonds protect both the contractor and the project owner. To help you further, here are the Guidelines in Getting Your Bid Bond.

Original source: Childhood and education Erin was raised an only child in Massachusetts by her father who was a factory worker, and her mother who worked at a local pharmacy – Erin was very close to her parents while growing up, and spent most of her spare time with them rather than with her peers. i had so much fun at the lady gaga concert last night! thanks @verizon for such an awesome experience!! all u little… Posted by Erin Gilfoy on Wednesday, August 9, 2017 She began dreaming about becoming a model while attending elementary school, as she and her friends would often read girly magazines and watch movies on TV, and it wasn’t until she turned 13 that Erin became interested in comedy and making her friends and family laugh. Not long after that, she was introduced to pranks and challenges and making people uncomfortable (in a comedic way) which later motivated her to work on her YouTube channel. Erin matriculated from high school in 2009, and then chose not to attend college but to focus on her career on the internet – she also found a job to financially support herself while working on her way up. Erin gained recognition after she and her friend Carly Incontro launched their YouTube channel “Carly and Erin” on 6 September 2015, which is today subscribed to over 1.33 million people, and counts over 255 million views of all their videos combined. The girls usually upload three new videos each week, and are mostly focused on uploading comedy content, but what has really made them popular on YouTube is their series “Vining and Driving”, in which they call former Vine stars while driving in a car – their currently most popular video “DAVIDS FIRST TIME AT STARBUCKS!!” has been watched over 5.3 million times since 4 May 2019. Erin also has her own channel which she launched years earlier on 8 April 2009, but didn’t start uploading content until her and Carly’s collaborative channel made her popular – her solo channel is subscribed to 160,000 people, and counts over eight million views of all her videos combined. Erin uses this channel to upload videos taken during her everyday life, and the most popular among these – “I GOT ENGAGED!! (the proposal)” – has been viewed over 400,000 times since 4 December 2018.

The year 2016 saw Erin portray both Helen and Mia in four episodes of the short romantic comedy series “Midsømmer”, while her latest appearance has been in the 2017 short comedy musical “Bing Bong: Official Video, Closer by the Chainsmokers & Halsey Parody”.

Petracca sometime in the early 2010s, but the two kept their relationship a secret for nearly half a year before announcing in their YouTube videos that they were together.

J. asked her to marry him – the proposal happened in October 2018, but it appears thats the two haven’t yet married, however, there are rumors circulating the internet that the wedding was actually held in private, so that Erin is already a married woman. She hasn’t talked about any men she might have been with before meeting T. J., but it’s believed that she was in a long-term relationship with her high school sweetheart, who left her for another girl, which led to Erin being unattached for the following couple of a years. As of October 2020, Erin is engaged to T. J. Petracca, hasn’t yet married, and doesn’t have children. Hobbies and other interests Erin prefers to spend her spare in nature, including national parks, villages and lakes, rather than in overcrowded cities where the only thing she can hear are car motors and horns. She is a lover of animals and has a pet dog, which usually goes with her wherever she goes, and has been featured in many of her pictures on Instagram. Erin works out two times each week, and is following a strict diet while she’s also a vegan.

Good morning! Have you ever stood in front of a crowd and addressed them? Was it difficult or were you ready to share? Today as we continue our reading in Acts chapter 2, we will read about Peter addressing the crowd. Join me as we read., and]” – Acts 2:14-21 NLT This is when Peter began his preaching assignment. If you recall in John chapter 21, Jesus and Peter (Simon son of John) were talking, .” Peter stood to the crowd in defense of what the apostles and everyone who was in the room had experienced. Peter rebuked the peoples comments on them being drunk. But he began to share scripture from the old testament book of Joel, something the Jewish believers would understand and to help them understand what had taken place. There are several things listed in the book of Joel that will occur in the last days. - The Holy Spirit will be poured out on all people. - Sons and daughters will prophesy. - Young men will see visions. - Old men will dream dreams. - Wonders in heaven above and signs on earth below – blood, fire and billows of smoke. - The sun will turn to darkness and the moon to blood before the great coming of the Lord. - Most importantly, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Sisters and brothers, so many of us are walking around in fear. But it shouldn’t be that way. We have been given fore knowledge of the things that have already taken place, things that are happening now and the things to come. Fear is reserved for those without hope without belief, without understanding. Those who believe know the future, it is clear…Jesus wins. Sisters and brothers, if anything we should be fearful of is the number of souls that will be lost because of their lack of understanding or disbelief in Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. As the Holy Spirit leads you, pray for those who are wandering without Jesus Christ at the center of their life. Pray for those who chose not to follow, but know about Jesus. Pray for their relationship with Jesus to be renewed. Finally, share your faith with sisters and brothers who have fear in their hearts. Encourage them in faith and remind them of who is still on the throne. God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and self-control. Just like Peter, God has a plan and a purpose for you. When it is time, you will step into it. Is it time? ________ if it is, get busy with God’s work. If God has you waiting, keep praying and doing small things toward the purpose He has called you to. Father God we thank you for another day. Father you didn’t promise it to us, but you gave it to us anyway. Thank you for speaking through the prophet Joel and Peter to remind us of things to come. We trust and believe in Your word and promises. Equip us with the tools that we need to pray for the lost, least and last. Equip us to share our testimony and be a witness of Your mighty power at work within our own lives. Direct our thoughts and lead us to a greater relationship with you. Lord, when we feel discouraged renew our hearts and minds again. Reset us, and put us on track toward our purpose in you. Lord, remove our fears and fill us with Your spirit of power, love and self-control. In Jesus name, amen. #LivingBeyondAverage #20/20Vision #Refocus #StayFocused Do you have a prayer request?

After years of selling hundreds of items, if not more, on eBay I have recently closed up the shop. Long time blog readers and podcast listeners know that eBay without exaggeration saved our lives. Why would I walk away from that? Therein lies the story. Years ago I found myself out of work. The place I was working at laid off a third of their staff in one shot and I was in that third. (They later laid off the second third, and then the third third, completely closed up and I think owed people money, but that’s a story for another day.) We had an infant at home and now I’m out of work. Unemployment was coming in but that is a finite amount and time frame. There was one temporary seasonal position but other than that brief respite it took me over a year to find a new job. My wife was working. We had people looking out for us and keeping us afloat, but just barely. In the middle of all of this I turned to eBay. We sold one or two things before but I was sure I could do more. I started looking in thrift stores and yard sales in my area for cheap items that could net a profit. The more I listed, and searched, and made many mistakes – the better I got. We had a few really good finds and really good sales that helped us do crazy things like pay bills on time during this unemployment period. eBay was keeping the lights on for us and I got good at it because it meant survival. After finding full time work I wanted to continue with eBay so we increased our account to a thousand item store. Totes filled up one of our rooms and I had a supply of bags, tape, printer ink, all of it. Some months were great and others barely worth it. But I had fun. Going out to stores, garage sales, wherever. Finding cool things, some to flip, some I ended up keeping. It became my hobby. Over the last year more and more of my sources dried up. The cool junk shop outside of town closed up. Our local thrift shop sends the good stuff to other stores. There were barely any yard sales in 2020. The supply just wasn’t there any more. I’m years removed from the unemployment that started this and any money made by eBay was to support the hobbies and not needed to support ourselves. Which means this needs to be fun and not feel like work. The store was up for renewal and I cut it from a thousand items down to a hundred. More manageable, cheaper to maintain, doesn’t take up as much room, and can still be done at a hobby level. Overall I was alright with that. I still wasn’t finding much, but I didn’t need to find much. Some of the products in the store I had for years now but it’s a lot of niche stuff that is just waiting for the right person. Not everyone wants that made for TV movie on VHS but someone will and I will be the one who has it. Then in the middle of the latest COVID relief bill there was a twist. All of this as I said was meant to be fun. eBay recognizes that as well, which is why until a seller makes a certain amount it doesn’t have to be claimed on taxes. The previous amount was 200 items sold in a year AND $20,000 in sales. I was nowhere near that sales amount. If I ever was, I would be glad to deal with the taxes on it. Because that would mean I just made 20 grand on my hobby. However, that is going to change in 2022 for eBay and similar sites. The new levels are any amount of items sold in a year and $600 in one year. So if you sold one item, like a baseball card or vintage leather jacket, for $601 congratulations. You now have to add that to your taxes. eBay has a record of everything, pays directly to your bank account now (not PayPal) and I’m sure sends all of this to the IRS as well. Sure, you could just not claim it, but at the risk of being caught. $600 is far too low for this. I can hear some people saying, “you made that money, you have to pay the taxes on it.” Sure. Of course. But on $600? That’s a weekend garage sale. That’s a kid having to pay taxes on graduation money. That’s selling something on Craigslist. That is way too low a bar. All of these things combined to make a decision to walk away from the eBay store. I’ll still sell a one off if I find something. I’ll still buy things sometimes. But the totes of for sale items are gone. The eBay space is becoming the comic book room, which is a better hobby focus for me anyways. As I was cancelling my eBay store on their site I saw how much I made in the last 12 months. $600.12. I would be paying taxes due to 12 cents. If there was any doubt in my mind, it left in that moment.

They are designed for read-centric server jobs (DC450R, DC500R) and mixed-use server jobs (DC500M). They implement stringent quality of service requirements to ensure consistent random I/O performance as well as predictable low latency for a wide range of read and write jobs. Built-in power failure protection (PLP) with capacitors ensures that incoming data is written to NAND Flash to reduce the likelihood of data Enterprise data centre on SSD Kingston Enterprise SSDs meet the demands of businesses for nonstop uptime and reliability, offering powerful storage that combines predictable performance with rigorously tested reliability. Kingston’s DC500 Series SSDs, along with the DC450R, offer features that enable data centers to select the cost-effective SSD for their workloads.

Both the DC500R and DC500M drives feature built-in Power Loss Protection (PLP) (via capacitors and firmware). This ensures that incoming data will be written to the NAND Flash memory in the event of an unexpected power failure at runtime. In addition, the PLP ensures that the disk mapping table (FTL) is updated before power is removed. This power failure protection reduces the risk of data loss and ensures that the disk will be successfully reinitialized the next time the system is powered on. The DC450R drive then features ECC protection with advanced read/erase management to protect data from corruption and provide total protection.

It seems participants who join by telephone/phone call may not be encrypted. Zoom indicates there are other ways for individuals to join meetings instead of via telephone. If end-to-end encryption is required for meetings, hosts can remove the option for participants to dial in to the meeting via phone. On the topic of “Zoombombing” where individuals who are not invited are able to join and disrupt the meetings, the following recommendations can help: - Require a password to enter meetings - Enable the waiting room for all meetings especially your PMI - Always use a Random Meeting ID - Do not share Zoom Meeting IDs in public forums such as Facebook, Youtube or Instagram - Restrict screen sharing to Hosts Only - Have students or patients only enter either their first or last name into the meeting when joining - Lock the meeting after all participants have joined -

Online gambling is virtually any gambling executed online. This consists of casino houses, online poker and reside poker. The first internet gambling web-site established to the general population, was ticketing in the Liechtenstein International Casino in October 1994. Ever since then gambling online has erupted around the world. Claims such as Delaware, Ca and Nevada have legalized sports activities playing and on-line poker, however some nations have legalized internet gambling, while other people prohibit it completely. In the united states gambling online has not been legalized still. In a number of claims like Illinois, internet gambling has not yet even been legalized nevertheless. There exists little regulation of it in the united states. Which is the disadvantage in gambling online now. Many of the state and federal legal guidelines discord collectively. The state law enables it. Just one explanation why internet gambling in the united states is usually a controversial problem, is caused by the contribution of Cryptocurrency, though for example the federal laws reduces the effective use of people’s capital for gaming on the web. The definition of Cryptocurrency usually means any electronic advantage that is certainly not much of a traditional money. One example could be Bit Sterling, which is certainly an internet based foreign currency used in the uk. In the usa a great deal of dispute comes approximately because of gambling online involving Cryptocurrency. A fantastic example of this might be Poker superstars online gambling and one which was shut down with the U.S federal government. This caused a large scandal due to the fact of the United States governing administration suspending the poker home from surgery. Another huge debate in the US is the UIGEA or Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. The UIGEA is actually a regulation that prohibits the switch of finances with a betting site. For example internet casinos, online poker areas and sweepstakes sites. The UIGEA addresses gambling online to all 50 states. Many of the adversaries to internet gambling in the states assume that the UIGEA is way too broad and goes against the liberties of those to generate money online. One of the main concerns that crop up is the fact that many of the foreign currencies utilized in internet gambling are not identified by america. This may cause america really agitated. In truth there was clearly a newly released scenario when a player won a large amount of cash inside an on the net internet casino and delivered your money to his companion with out informing government entities that he or she do so. This lead in the us blocking the player’s profile. This is basically the challenge with Cryptocurrency, it is far from identified by the usa and this will make it quite hard for gamers to order the necessary instruments to relax and play their best online gambling computer games. You will find a fix for your problem and that is enabling Cryptocurrency used for the gambling sites. This enables consumers to risk on any Cryptocurrency rather than ones that have been put together for betting applications in the usa. This permits players to implement their own personal Cryptocurrency to spend time playing their computer games. This does have key benefits for those consumer. One example is, when you are participating in poker and the activity needs anyone to send out some funds to the friend in an additional place then by using Cryptocurrency will make it really easy to do so. It is possible to transport the bucks from the online gambling account to another 1 and never have to proceed through any extra trouble. In the event you come across a web-site that allows another currency other than the one you will be at this time making use of then its super easy to pull away that money on your on the web bank-account, also. This is one of the main main reasons why many of the internet casinos are starting to simply accept other foreign currencies as fee for solutions. Lots of the top notch internet casinos will in reality let you have fun with their games with a laptop that fails to even need to be placed on them using a hard wired connection. Anyone performing online is really enjoying of their on the net forex, making it super easy for anyone to maneuver amongst different sites and spots.

story courtesy of Wright State (7-7-21) Many of the world’s most iconic clear lakes are degrading at an alarming rate — shallow, nearshore lake bottoms are being carpeted by bright green fronds of slimy algae, especially during the summer. These filamentous algal blooms (FABs) need lots of light, so they occur at lake edges where people want to swim and play. Scientists are unsure why FABs are suddenly showing up in remote mountain lakes, as well as in some large lakes such as Lake Tahoe in the United States, Lake Baikal in Russia and Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand, but an international group of lake scientists is ready to tackle the problem. In a scientific article published this week in BioScience, “Blue waters, green bottoms: benthic filamentous algal blooms are an emerging threat to clear lakes worldwide,” scientists from around the world explore how nutrient pollution, climate change, loss of aquatic animals that eat algae, and invasive species contribute to the increased occurrence of green bottoms. Sudeep Chandra, co-author and professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, said – “The interdisciplinary, international team of scientists that met together at Lake Tahoe impressed upon me the need to develop a science-based framework to guide our future understanding of FABs. The paper highlights the factors from local to global pressures that might contribute to this profusion of algae on lake bottoms.” Lead author Yvonne Vadeboncoeur, Ph.D., a professor of biological sciences at Wright State University, is particularly. Vadeboncoeur said. – “Scientists tend to study lakes from boats in the middle of the lake, but the pristine shorelines that are afflicted by these green bottoms are the same places that attract people for swimming, fishing and boating. We see the public playing a crucial future role in documenting the occurrence of this emerging change in lakes.” It is normal for scientists and the public to immediately think that, like other algal blooms, FABs are caused by excessive nutrient run off from sewage, lawns and farms, but often FAB lakes have extremely low nutrient concentrations in the water. Marianne Moore, a professor from Wellesley College, who conducts research in Lake Baikal, Russia, the largest lake in the world, said, “I was not surprised that human sewage contributes to FABs in Lake Baikal, but the prevalence of FABs in other clear-water lakes of the world amazed me, especially those where the cause(s) remains a mystery.” Chandra points out that FABs are occurring in clear mountain lakes in the western United States because invasive species are replacing native species, water temperatures are increasing and summers are longer. In Lake Tahoe, the increasing occurrence of extensive filamentous algal blooms in shallow waters is tied to reduced snow pack and changes in underground water flow associated with climate change. Although it is concerning that we don’t yet know why nearshore habitats are greening in clear lakes, these profound changes open up great opportunities for improved understanding of lake ecosystems. Simon Stewart, an early career scientist at the Cawthron Institute in New Zealand, is concerned that FABs are occurring in essentially pristine lakes. Stewart said – “Off-shore water quality monitoring, the method used for over a century, is not detecting near-shore degradation. Nearshore areas may be sensitive, previously overlooked, early warning indicators of ecosystem change; we are developing new approaches to better understand nearshore habitats.” The U.S. National Science Foundation, Fulbright New Zealand, Royal Society of New Zealand, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, League to Save Lake Tahoe, Nevada Division of Environmental Protection and California Tahoe Conservancy funded this study.

Grants:Project/Rapid/SuperHamster/Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 in the United States Summary[edit] Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photo competition for monuments and historical sites, taking place every year in more than 40 countries around the world. The United States has participated in Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012-2013 and 2016-2020. Despite challenges from the 2020 pandemic, last year's competition in the United States resulted in over 5,900+ image uploads from 1,000+ uploaders, an increase over the previous year. 14% of those images (800+) are currently being used to illustrate pages on Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia articles. This year, the U.S. contest is organized by SuperHamster (Kevin Payravi), who has organized since 2016. Like last year, Goal[edit] 2020, 84%[edit] Activities[edit]. Not only do photos help illustrate our history on Wikipedia and its sister sites, but these photos also preserve the visual history of these sites even after they are gone.. - At the time of this grant application communities have not been informed, but will be through the remainder of August as we unveil more details about the event. These communities include our social media following, the WALRUS community, WikiProject NRHP on the English Wikipedia, and Commons communities. This page will be updated accordingly. 3.

The threat level against MPs has been upgraded to ‘substantial’ – meaning an attack is now ‘likely’ – following the killing of Sir David Amess. Priti Patel urged colleagues on Wednesday to take the ‘change in risk seriously’ following a review by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre linked to MI5. She told the Commons that there was no ‘specific or imminent threat’ but it was understood MPs will now be contacted over how their security arrangements may be altered. The Home Secretary said counter-terror police will ensure the ‘change is properly reflected in the operational posture’ following Sir David’s killing on Friday at a surgery for his constituents. The murder of the second MP in five years – after Jo Cox was killed in a similar situation – has sparked concern over the safety of British politicians. Ms Patel said: ‘While we do not see any information or intelligence which points to any credible or specific or imminent threat, I must update the House that the threat level facing Members of Parliament is now deemed to be substantial. ‘This is the same level as the current national threat to the United Kingdom as a whole, so I can assure the House that our world-class intelligence and security agencies and counter-terror police will now ensure that this change is properly reflected in the operational posture.’ While Ms Patel did not specifically state what the increase to substantial means, it is understood to correspond with the national guidance, meaning ‘an attack is likely’. It was not clear what the previous threat level was, but there are only two lower levels: low and moderate. Ali Harbi Ali, 25, was arrested at the scene in Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea on suspicion of Sir David’s murder and remains in police custody. He has been detained under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000 and detectives are expected to continue to question him until Friday after a warrant of further detention was granted. Sorry, this video isn't available any more. The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) said it would be working with police and parliamentary authorities to review security for MPs following the upgrade to the threat level. An NPCC spokesperson said that Operation Bridger, the security programme set up after Ms Cox’s murder by a right-wing extremist in 2016, had contacted every MP since Sir David’s killing. They added: ‘Many members of Parliament have taken this immediate opportunity to reassess the bespoke security arrangements they have in place, and forces are working with them and their staff to implement any changes. ‘We continue to strongly encourage MPs to immediately report any security concerns to their local police force in order to keep themselves, their staff and members of the public attending constituency events safe.’ Ms Patel said that the security of other elected representatives, such as councillors, will also be reviewed. Shadow home secretary Nick Thomas-Symonds asked her to set out if there was updated guidance for MPs and their staff for their safety. The Labour MP added: ‘I know that in the face of such unspeakable hatred we stand united and unshakeable in this House, that those who use violence in an attempt to divide us shall never win and we refuse to be intimated by these dark forces. ‘And yes, that goes for the vile individual or individuals who erected a noose in Parliament Square today.’ Earlier in the day, police said a man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence after a mock gallows was erected by a group protesting against Covid-19 vaccines.

The university has become a key component of what is called the “knowledge economy”, argued University of Cape Town sociologist David Cooper in 2011. In simple narrative terms: to the university’s first mission (teaching) and the second mission (curiosity-driven basic research), a third mission, starting in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United States, has been added: economic development. The university-industry-government (UIG) triple helix has come to characterise and inform the research objectives and the institutional structures of the affected departments and faculties. In this article, I briefly address the knowledge economy, the emphasis placed on the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) disciplines as opposed to the liberal arts and human sciences, and the question of the missing “fourth helix”, comprising the socioeconomic and cultural dimensions of academic transformation. In the South African context, the views of Manuel Castells on the knowledge-based economy and the information society have been especially influential. Mutually reinforcing In brief, developments in capitalism have brought about a symbiotic, mutually reinforcing relationship between university researchers, especially in the Stem disciplines, and transnational corporations that are heavily dependent on the knowledge produced in the relevant research centres. In order to maintain international competitiveness, corporations push for governments to design national systems of innovation. However, there is a glaring absence in many such analyses of a philosophy of history-based critique of these practices. Such critique as has been forthcoming is usually formulated in antimanagerialist terms and is relevant and useful, but it does not penetrate beneath the surface phenomena. It does not question the paradigm within which the university third mission is restricted to the UIG triple helix. From the point of view of someone who is committed to a different kind of world, one where the abysmal gap between the rich and the poor is eliminated, the crucial questions involved in this matter are twofold. First, is it morally and politically defensible to use public revenues, dispensed through government and universities, to maximise profits for corporate entities that appropriate such profits for their shareholders? Cooper has argued that the usually implicit assumption of some “trickle-down effect” on the part of apologists for the “market university” has no evidence to back it up. In the face of the global reality that more than two-thirds of humanity are excluded from these circuits, this is culpable naivety at best and intellectual dishonesty at worst. Second, the general assumption is that the university’s third mission is exhausted in the construction and maintenance of partnerships with business and government. To the extent that government is supposed to be representative of “the people”, it could be argued that civil society is indirectly included in the triple helix. However, this fiction is difficult to sustain in an age of scepticism about the democratic integrity of governments across the globe. Fourth helix Cooper has strongly proposed that a “fourth helix”, representing the socioeconomic and cultural aspects, be added to the UIG linkage. “What will happen to the millions across the globe who remain disconnected from the networks of the knowledge society?” he asks. “Castells … refers to Africa’s ‘black hole’ of exclusion, calling it a ‘Fourth World’ – a world that I would view as outside the reach of any triple helix research relations.” This question has never been far from the surface of the many debates about the managerial or corporatised university in South Africa since the late 1990s. The disempowered mass of the people in some sense is one of the main constituencies to which any university, especially in the South, has to be accountable. There is a strong tradition in South Africa of university academics and postgraduate students working closely with civil society: people’s organisations and grassroots structures, including trade unions, civic, faith-based and sports associations, student bodies, rural and women’s groups, and many others. This was never really theorised, and after 1994 the national system of innovation guided by the department of arts, culture, science and technology, the department of education and other research-focused structures proceeded on the pathways pioneered and consolidated by scholars in the North. Global citizens In 2010, Martha Nussbaum wrote an elegant piece against the commodification and vulgarisation of knowledge through the assault on the liberal arts curricula, especially in Europe. Essentially, her thesis – one with which I agree totally – is that democratic societies need the scholarship associated with the humanities. Universities, instead of educating and training clients and service providers, which is what tends to happen increasingly today, ought to have as their main objective the education of global citizens. In a globalising world, where everybody is virtually a neighbour, the current tendency to downsize the humanities and the liberal arts is a certain recipe for increasing alienation and mutual incomprehension. Instead of human beings trying to see what is common among people and individuals, the tendency is strengthened to view people as potential clients and exploitable entities that can be instrumentalised for their own personal benefit or for that of their in-group. Difference, instead of constituting a bridge towards understanding the intrinsic value of diversity – biological, cultural and political – becomes a springboard for xenophobic stereotyping and latent social conflict. One of the most avoided questions in South African scholarship is that of language. Unless this question is addressed as a matter of urgent priority, then the current classist, elitist scholarship that floats on a sea of mediocrity will simply continue to be anchored. Because of strong leadership coming from the ministry of higher education important policy and strategy documents are moving the language question closer to the centre of academic scrutiny, where it belongs. The Report on the Charter for Humanities and Social Sciences (June 2011) and the Consensus Study of the State of the Humanities in South Africa: Status, Prospects and Strategies (August 2011) are two of the most significant documents in this regard. Hegemony of English I believe they should be viewed in terms of the fourth helix. Certainly, in most of Africa, this issue cannot be avoided much longer. And it has to be analysed in global terms, because the global hegemony of English is putting massive pressure on some of the most consolidated standard languages in the world, including especially German, French and Russian. In Europe, the debate is raging, but in Africa and elsewhere in the South, the hegemony of English continues. It is a mammoth task because Africa, including South Africa, is today subject to the intensified pressures of “globalisation”, and the pressure to adopt English, which is incontestably the global language, as the only legitimate language is exceptionally strong in “Anglophone” territories. The focus on English, the “language of globalisation”, is also one of the corollary implications of the prioritisation of the Stem disciplines in South Africa, as it is in most other countries today. The humanities and social sciences, conversely, have to ensure – as part of a counter-hegemonic strategy – that local languages are not marginalised and endangered. Indeed, in a modern African country, these languages should be at the heart of all development, including also in the formal economic sector. It is one of the most urgent tasks of the African renaissance, seen as a cultural revolutionary programme and not as mere political rhetoric, that this situation be changed in the direction of the valorisation of African languages. This is an edited extract from the book Education, the Economy and Society, co-edited by Salim Vally and Enver Motala, to be published shortly by Unisa Press. The late Neville Alexander’s chapter in the book was his keynote address to the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) Alexander von Humboldt Alumni Gathering in April 2012 at the University of Cape Town. Alexander, who passed away on August 27 that year, his literary estate and Karen Press agreed to publish his talk in the book

The current boom in demand for cars is coincident with global supply issues across all manufacturers which are forecast to continue into 2023. Jump the queue and order your car from the UK, but don’t delay as the car market is faster than ever before. Boom in demand for cars and property It is no surprise that the pandemic temporarily closed the car factories for the majority of 2020 and into ’21, resulting in significantly less cars being produced. Simultaneously, many people who have not been able to spend their money on their holidays, have decided to get the feel good factor from spending their money on fun things like cars. The immediate impact of this has meant that the used car market has seen increases in prices of about 5-10%. Global shortage of silicone semi-conductors If you keep a close eye on the media, you’ll know that there is a global shortage of silicone semi-conductors which is having an additional negative effect on the motor industry. The silicone semi-conductors are a key component for mobile phones, computer games and a car’s computer circuitry. A small blip in global production has dramatic ramifications across many industries with the car market feeling it the worst, with predictions that it will continue into 2023. Whilst demand is very high for new cars globally, the supply remains very low and many cars which were due to launch in 2021; either a facelifts or new models have been delayed indefinitely. We have experienced cars which we have on order with Mercedes, BMW, Land Rover all had to be pulled because the production for a new model has been stopped due to component shortages and factory closures. Land Rover factory temporary closure. Looking at the various examples of how the semi-conductor issues have affected production, we have seen the Land Rover factory at Halewood, Merseyside and Castle Bromwich in the West Midland temporarily close. Halewood supplies the Evoque and the Discovery Sport and Castle Bromwich supplies the Jaguar XE and XF executive cars and the F-Type sportscar. We understand that the a "limited period of non-production" is attributed to the component issues. Unprecedented Porsche production delays. We have also seen production of many of the Porsches delayed well into 2022, and we have had cars on order since June 2020 that were due to be produced in October 2020 which have been delayed into June 2021, but now been delayed further and have no committed date against them. These are standard Porsches, not rare or low production models. Audi panoramic sunroof unavailable. At Audi we have seen a configurator change, with the Audi Q7 for example, it is simply not possible to order it with a panoramic sunroof. The panoramic roof is a feature that is often a key requirement for SUV buyers. However, there is no option on the Audi UK configurator for a panoramic sunroof, so the manufacturers have chosen to build the cars without it. Used car prices increasing by 5-10%. The knock on effect into the used car market is considerable and since the UK started coming out of lockdown, we have seen prices of used cars increasing weekly. A car that we bought two months ago for a client could be as much as 15-10% more expensive already. And of course, with so many people trying to buy the same cars, the need for a quick purchase decision is imperative. Demand is now so high, that cars which are available today will almost certainly not be available in a few days and possibly not be available tomorrow. Avoid long waits by importing your car from the UK. The discussions we are having indicate that these delays will continue well into 2022. Journalists are reporting 2023. We expect that this situation will worsen before it improves and we will start to experience additional issues with other manufacturers and models. Net there have been fewer cars manufactured between 2020 and into 2022 resulting in cars with low allocations, you may not be able to buy some cars for a long time to come, making the option to import from the UK even more attractive. Thankfully, the UK is a high priority market and is given strong allocations of prestige cars. Buy the new Land Rover Defender D250 faster from the UK NZ lead times are currently 12 months. Kenya lead time is 9 months. This may also be pushed back since the closure of the factory. If like so many people, you are waiting to order the new 3L diesel Defender, the best opportunity to buy that car, is to enquire in the UK, to see if there is stock available or arriving into the UK from the factory so you can be driving it home much sooner than ordering it locally.

MIAMI (CBS4) – An estimated 7000 travelers had a miserable weekend at Miami International Airport after missing connections from their international flights. The chaos was due to federal budget cuts, the so-called sequester, causing Customs and Border Protection to not have enough officers to handle a large number of incoming flights.READ MORE: CBS4's Steve Goldstein Has The Latest On The High-Flying Panthers Ticket counters sprouted lines hundreds of passengers long, people desperately trying to book new flights. Many spent Saturday night sleeping on cots or the airport floor. “I have school, will probably lose work, there’s absolutely no reason why this should be going on,” said Eric Skalka who missed his connection to Chicago. “We were stuck for 2 1/2 hours in a crowd of at least 300 people,” said Marcus Bell who was trying to make it home to Oregon. His 2 1/2 hour wait was not in line, but waiting to actually get in line for customs. One woman, trying to make her way to Dallas, said it took six hours for her to clear customs. “They finally started passing out water bottles, which is when it got better, but it was pretty awful,” said the woman, who did not give her name. The log jam was due to cutbacks in overtime at customs, causing them to have too a few agents to handle the busy weekend crowd. Monday brought relief, but there were still sporadic bottlenecks at customs.READ MORE: Study Finds Face Masks Cut Distance Airborne Pathogens Can Travel In Half Trish Lydon missed her connection to Boston. “I think cuts can be made, but not where it affects so many people like this,” Lydon said. Trouble looms for domestic flights as well. The Transportation Safety Administration says cuts to overtime, and a hiring freeze, will result in increased waiting times at security checkpoints. The TSA said passengers can expect, in the coming weeks and months, to spend two or three times longer waiting at checkpoints during peak periods. The TSA estimates that by Memorial Day weekend, it will have 1,000 fewer agents. “We have to throw all of this back at Washington,” said MIA spokesperson Mark Henderson. “If Washington would come to some agreement, and do the things they need to do, moneywise, we wouldn’t be having this now.” Democratic Congressman Joe Garcia of Miami-Dade said, “I understand we need to cut, I understand we need to deal with the deficit, but we don’t deal with it by hurting businesses and hurting families.” MIA and Port Miami form the county’s largest economic engines. “We can’t fund our government? There’s no excuse for that, “said Skalka, the passenger struggling to get home to Chicago. “There are bridges in my hometown that are structurally deficient. We can’t take care of that, and we can’t take care of border patrol?” With hiring freezes, mandatory employee furlough days, and cuts in overtime, conditions promise to get worse.MORE NEWS: Miami-Dade Police Confirm Shooting Death Of Rapper Wavy Navy Pooh Near Zoo Miami Beginning April 7, all 50,000 FAA employees, including air traffic controllers, must take 26 unpaid furlough days a year.

If you adore technology, there are a lot of hobbies out there for you to enjoy, and not all of these force you to spend hours hunched over a computer if you want a breath of fresh air. So then, here are a host of hobbies that you should try if you adore technology and yet have run out of ideas as to how you can incorporate tech into your hobbies. - Music Production Although many people decide to learn to play an instrument, such as a piano or a guitar, at some point during their lives, music production can help you to take your passion for music one step further. By honing your music production skills, you will be able to help make the tunes that you create sound professional and enhance the potential of your music. Music production also allows you to combine your passions for sound and technology as, to create great music, you will need to invest in the best music production software and find out what is the best computer for music production in 2021. You will also need specialist headphones and other music production accessories to play with the music you create and get it to sound like the tune in your head. - Gaming One of the more traditional hobbies for those that love technology, though, is gaming. Gaming can allow you to stay entertained while using technology, as the gaming industry tends to incorporate the latest tech into their software quicker than other industries. To set up the perfect gaming space within your home, you will need to invest in the latest console, noise-canceling headphones, a surround system, a large HD television, and a gaming chair from which you can play without developing back pain. You might also consider looking for consoles that have additional equipment like VR headsets or that have 3D technology, as these can allow you to fully immerse yourself within a digital world and bring your games to life. - Car Enthusiast If you want to enjoy technology on a more practical level, though, you should get hands-on and turn your passion for tech into a passion for cars and automobiles. Whether you love the intricacies of cars and want to update and tinker with them every day of the week or whether you love collecting them, making cars your hobby can allow you to apply your knowledge and skills to a vehicle which you can then take out on the road and continue to improve until it becomes your ideal vehicle. You might also consider getting into racing or taking your car to vintage and high-tech car shows across the country. - Photography For those that love the little details, photography can be a great hobby. However, not only will you have to research and invest in the best high-tech equipment and cameras to take high-quality photographs, but you will also need different gear if you want to set up your own studio, such as lighting. Although you might think that it is easy to take the perfect picture, this is not always the case, and photography can be both challenging and rewarding as it forces you to learn new skills and get to grips with the latest gadgets that appear on the market for photography enthusiasts. - PC Building However, if you want a tech hobby that is a little more on the nose, you should consider whether PC building might be for you. PC building might be a great option for you if you are constantly replacing your laptop for the newest model or if you are frustrated by the current computers on the market. PC building can allow you to make your vision for the perfect computer real by starting from scratch and allowing you to be surrounded by technology for weeks or months on end. Not only this, but your project need never end, with there always being new gadgets and accessories that you can add to your PC. However, you should be aware that buying all of the parts separately can end up being expensive, and so you should make sure that you are aware of your budget before you begin to purchase parts. This will prevent you from ending up with half a computer and being unable to fund the end of the project. - Digital Art Creativity and technology might not always seem as if it goes together; however, this is often the case. Instead, technology can greatly aid those who love to get creative. If you are passionate about drawing or art but hate the mess and all of the art equipment that goes along with it, you should consider looking into digital art. Digital art can allow you to create masterpieces instantly, which you can then easily share, print, or edit at a touch of a button. This can also be better for the environment, ensuring that you do not have to use endless scraps of paper and can simply make art easier if you do not have a lot of room to enjoy your hobby or to leave your unfinished masterpieces around the house to dry. To get started with digital art, you should look into touch-screen tablets and notebooks, as well as smart pens that can act like a pencil or paintbrush. Choosing a hobby as a tech-lover can be difficult, and you might feel overwhelmed by choice or feel like you do not know what hobbies are out there. However, this guide lists a range of exciting hobbies for every type of tech-lover, whether you love to get creative or get outside. So then, if you want tech to be an integral part of your hobby or you simply want to use tech to aid your hobby, by following this guide, tech lovers will be able to find the hobby that they have always been looking for while ensuring that they are not constantly glued to a computer screen.

Education and minority rights: MRG reports back from the UN Forum on Minority Issues More than 200 people, including sustained representation from over 50 state delegations, attended the first United Nations Forum on Minority Issues, held in Geneva on 15-16 December. The Forum was opened by the President of the Human Rights Council, the High Commissioner on Human Rights and the Forum Chair (Viktória Mohácsi from Hungary). Most of the experts were members of minorities. The Forum replaced the old Working Group on Minorities, which was abolished in 2007. MRG campaigned extensively to establish the new Forum, the only dedicated mechanism in the UN where minority groups can have their voices heard. Its recommendations will be transmitted by Gay McDougall, the UN Independent Expert on Minority Issues, straight to the Human Rights Council. The theme was education, and the findings backed up what Patrick Thornberry, of the Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination said in his opening remarks: ‘Education is one of the most strongly contested issues in the field of minority rights.’ Testimony after testimony bore witness to the fact that across the world, religious, ethnic and linguistic minority groups face similar barriers to accessing this fundamental right. These barriers include lack of official recognition for their unique identities and lack of access to education of and in mother tongue, lack of disaggregated data by gender and ethnicity, and discrimination in curriculums and in the classroom. Activists from Bangladesh said, ‘Most of the children from indigenous ethnic minority groups are disadvantaged by an education system that does not recognize their language, culture or religion….when they enter school they are taught in a language they do not know or understand. More than 60 per cent of [these] children drop out especially in the early years.’ In Japan, the government does not recognize what it terms ‘non-national’ communities, which include Korean communities in Japan from the colonial era. Their schools are categorized as vocational, they receive no government subsidies and students’ diplomas do not qualify them to enter Japanese universities. Japanese lawyer Yasuko Morooka said, ‘If you forget your ethnic identity, Japan is not such a bad place for education.’ Diane Abbot, Member of Parliament in the UK, highlighted the importance of disaggregated data. She said 80 per cent of those excluded from schools in London are black boys. Activists from the USA spoke of the ongoing discrimination for black and Asian pupils, saying, ‘Punishments in schools, from zero tolerance policies to use of police in schools, unfairly target black and Asian students. Corporal punishment is still used disproportionately against students of colour.’ They added that there are higher dropout rates for these students, leading to entry into the criminal justice system. Thirteen Forum delegates were MRG partners, and came from Pastoralist and Batwa communities in Africa and Roma in South East Europe.

Garrett delivers a powerful and complex relationship filled with emotion Deliverance by Garrett Leigh My rating: 5 of 5 stars Another powerfully gritty and brutally honest look at the complexities of falling in love with someone who isn’t necessarily a good person. Here Garrett offers up a cracking semi-redemption arc as she gives us Benito’s story (he’s the guy from book one who Luis’ brother Dante was embroiled with) and ooooh boy is it a cracker. Benito is not only recovering from being shanked (stabbed in London street parlance) by his number two Asa, he’s also having to stay out of the city and watch over his much younger sister and his estranged mother. An anonymous hook-up in a sex club gives him the adrenaline thrill he’s been missing from being out of the gang scene and he finds himself craving more of Mickey’s touch – and his company. Mickey is a complex guy too. He’s a former addict, he’s also lived the street gang life in Manchester and he now works for Dom and Isha (see Garrett’s fabulous Lucky series… ) and the housing charity they set up. When he hooks up with Benito he too finds something real, something that kills the cravings for coke that he lives with, but also he finds a kindred – if somewhat troubling – spirit. And as Benito tries to go straight, while Mickey fights for the rights of his clients (who happen to include Benito’s sister Gianna and his mother Rosetta in their social housing block of flats), things begin to spiral. Benito’s still hitting Asa’s drug runs and selling off the product to raise the 100k he’s been told will clear him of any threats, Mickey knows something’s going on but he’s turning a blind eye. Like book one, the sexual compatibility between these two men is off the charts hot. Like book one, there is a heavy threat hanging over the narrative constantly because of what Benito is still doing and because of Mickey’s addict past. When reading, your heart is in your mouth half the time because it’s not clear where things will go. But, as with all Garrett books, the hope that eventually a corner will be turned, a decision will be made, and a future with a brighter outlook will open up, also carries strong. I will say, she surprised me yet again with where the story goes. I definitely was not expecting the outcome. ***SPOILER*** There is one particular scene which some people may find disturbing as it references a particularly bad tragedy which occurred in London – the Grenfell tower block fire and subsequent deaths – and follows a similar theme, albeit with no fatalities. ***ENDS*** But the sense of dread was palpable and I really felt every single emotion going through everyone involved. Ultimately, though, this is a romance, and it does conclude in a manner which felt wholly in keeping with the characters and with their behavioural expectations. I also loved the wee look we get at Luis and Pablo There’s a lovely Epilogue which reinforces the changes that both men have been willing to make to fight for their ongoing relationship and a sneak peek at where book three will be going. And that is one I absolutely cannot wait for! #ARC kindly received from the author in return for an honest and unbiased review Pingback: Release Blitz: Deliverance by Garrett Leigh | Mirrigold: Mutterings & Musings

Historically consumers have often passed over “store brand” products in favor of familiar and popular CPG brands they have cherished since childhood. However, this all changed in 2020 as many popular CPG brand products were suddenly absent from store shelves and online due to panic buying and pantry loading. And with many Americans out of work, shoppers switched to private label products for their lower prices. In fact, according to a McKinsey consumer survey, nearly 40% of U.S. shoppers tried new products or brands during the COVID-19 outbreak, and nearly 20% reported buying more private label products. This has created a window of opportunity for retailers to develop their private label strategies to retain customers who switched during the pandemic, acquire new ones and build loyalty. If you really want to take your private label brands to the next level, you must embrace empathetic marketing in all that you do. This is especially true when it comes to creating a meaningful digital presence that builds relationships and drive sales. Given the significant (and likely lasting) increases in ecommerce, you can no longer rely on shelf placement and pricing strategies alone to get private label products into shopping carts. Empathetic Marketing: Getting Closer to Your Audience Empathy is the ability to recognize, understand and share the thoughts and feelings of another person. In marketing, empathy is a critical investment, particularly for private label brands that may be developing a robust brand strategy and content plan for the very first time. Empathetic marketing becomes even more important when you must rely on your product listing pages’ content and their accessibility and visibility, vs. store interactions. But before building compelling and emphatic content, private label brands should do some basic groundwork. The first step is defining the target audience. As McKinsey points out, many private label brands have primarily existed to fulfill retailer pricing strategies to achieve greater margins – not to support a key audience or the needs of a consumer segment. Given this, many private label brands lack a clear focus of whom their brand will serve and why its products are needed. But by clearly understanding and defining the target audience, marketers can identify a north star to guide future decisions regarding online content, product listing pages and optimizing for visibility and findability among members of your audience. To further define the target audience, you need to build audience personas. This allows you to walk in the shoes of your potential customers and know exactly what they want and how they want it. Most importantly, this enables private labels to provide audiences and prospects with more valuable content grounded in an in-depth understanding of their wants and needs. You can do this by analyzing the questions they ask relative to a product or category, as well as the problems they’re trying to solve. Content should ladder up to these questions and demonstrate how a brand or product provides a solution. Those questions can be quickly identified by checking Google’s “People Also Ask” on SERPS or by leveraging the robust keyword research sections of online marketing tools such as SEMRush and Ahrefs. Empathetic Marketing and Content Creation Once you have a sound understanding of your customer and a compelling solution for their needs or challenges, you can create content that builds deep, genuine relationships between them and your private label brand. As you build out online content for product listings and your webstore, you should prioritize empathetic content written with the shopper in mind, written from their perspective and responsive to their daily issues. For example, if they’re a bargain hunter supporting a large family, content should showcase cost savings as well as any promotions or discounts. It is also important to organize content based on the consumers’ informational needs, giving them a seamless journey without distraction or backtracking. Better connections can be fostered by ditching product jargon, instead using the words they use when searching for and discussing your product. From a search marketing and content visibility perspective, content should also demonstrate expertise, be authoritative and trustworthy to adhere to Google’s E-A-T guidelines and be considered a high-quality page. While E-A-T is not a direct ranking factor, it’s important to improve the perceived trustworthiness of your website and content. Not only will it help improve SEO, but it can also help enhance the user experience, giving audiences greater confidence your brand and website can be trusted. The Future of Private Label Brands Only time will tell if consumers will stick with private label brands or return to their pre-pandemic product loyalty, now that many manufacturers have caught up with demand. Regardless of the pandemic, private label brands looking to shed the “store brand” reputation and image need to invest in empathetic marketing.

Musescore for desktop limited compared to mobile? I've got musescore both on my PC desktop, as well as on my iPad. When Im...) It says it is "compatible with my device", but only shows my phone, not showing my PC as a compatible device. So......Can I really not transpose scores from my PC!?!?!? What has happened to the world where you HAVE to be using mobile devices to get the functions out of these softwares? Instagram ill give HALF a pass, though still, its a business plan i find offensive, but i hope im just misunderstanding something here with musescore But you have MuseScore desktop installed on your PC? The software is open and free with full functionality. Perhaps I' m misunderstanding, take a look at: And to answer your title, it is quite the other way around: The desktop version lets you play and fully edit the scores, while the mobile apps are playback (and transposition) only. Could you post a screen capture of what you describe as "invites me download the mobile app", that will help us to understand what you mean. In reply to Could you post a screen… by frfancha This is something that shows on musescore.com, esp. when browsing that on a mobile. Quite annoying IMHO, esp. for those that have a Pro account and the mobile app already (and musescore.com should know that), eating up precious screen real estate, see that green bar: In reply to This is something that shows… by Jojo-Schmitz Ok, but what you say is not compatible with the original problem description, or I miss something. As the o.p. mentions that he got that message on his PC, not iPad, and by opening the "program" not in the browser. So?? You wrote: Can I really not transpose scores from my PC!?!?!? Turn your modem off (temporary). Start the MuseScore program on your PC desktop and open any MuseScore (.mscz) file in the scores folder on your computer. From within the MuseScore program, you should be able to view, transpose, play, export as audio, etc. the score using the full fledged (not limited) features of the MuseScore:software - which is different from the mobile app. See: but first, turn your modem back on. Also, to transpose scores: Definitely there seems to be some confusion here.

I can absolutely assure you that if you are trying to transpose from within the program, you are not going to ever see an invitation to download the mobile app. The only explanation is that you are not fact using the program itself on your PC, but are merely visiting the musescore.com score sharing website with the browser on your PC. That's not the same thing as using the program itself. You have to actually download the program and install it. Then, when opening a score within the program, simply use Tools / Transpose to transpose. There is no way this could ever lead to an invitation to download a mobile app, there is simply no code anywhere in MuseScore that could possibly do such a thing.

You may be practising daily, but if you aren’t practising well that might not matter. Here’s everything you need to know about how to practice more efficiently. Have you always dreamed about being able to play the piano, the drums, the guitar, or another musical instrument? It’s simple enough to sign up for piano, drum, or guitar lessons and get started. But if you’re going to turn yourself into a true musician over time, you’re also going to have to learn how to practice in between your lesson times. Check out some of the things you can do to make sure your practice sessions are as efficient and as effective as they can be. Understand the Importance of Practice You’ve heard the saying, “Practice makes perfect,” hundreds of times throughout the course of your life. It has pretty much become a cliche at this point. But you shouldn’t allow that to stop you from buying into the importance of practice! Many people will tell you that it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill. It might not take quite that long to become, say, a skilled piano player. But you will need to put in a lot of hard work to see results when you practice. That all starts with realizing that you need to prepare yourself to practice your instrument a lot at home. Set Up a Dedicated Practice Space More than 50% of American households have at least one person who plays a musical instrument living in them. Many of these households sacrifice an entire room inside their house for the sake of creating a practice space. No matter which instrument you choose to play, you should have somewhere in your house where you can go to play it. You shouldn’t have to worry about you bothering everyone else or everyone else bothering you. That might mean sticking a violin in a spare bedroom or grabbing drums and throwing them into the garage. A dedicated practice space will give you the freedom to practice at any time. Find the Best Way to Schedule Practice Time One of the main things you’ll need to do when you’re figuring out how to practice an instrument is put together a practice schedule for yourself. Those who are starting off with a new instrument should spend about 20 minutes every day practicing. Those who have some experience with an instrument should up that to about 40 minutes every day. And the most advanced musicians need to spend at least 60 minutes, if not more, practicing. But that doesn’t mean you should simply sit down and start playing your instrument until your time is up. Instead, you should work on the specific skills that your music teacher taught you during your last lesson. You should also consider using either blocked practice or interleaved practice. Blocked practice calls for you to work on your skills for longer periods of time. It would look like this if you were practicing with your guitar: - Minutes 1-6: Practice G major scale - Minutes 7-12: Practice G minor scale - Minutes 13-18: Practice G blues scale Interleaved practice, on the other hand, calls for you to work on your skills for shorter periods of time. But it also calls for you to practice them at several times throughout your session. It would look like this: - Minutes 1-2: Practice G major scale - Minutes 3-4: Practice G minor scale - Minutes 5-6: Practice G blues scale - Minutes 7-8: Practice G major scale - Minutes 9-10: Practice G minor scale - Minutes 11-12: Practice G blues scale - Minutes 13-14: Practice G major scale - Minutes 15-16: Practice G minor scale - Minutes 17-18: Practice G blues scale As you can see, you would still be working on all of your skills the same amount. You would just be dividing the work up in a different way. People respond differently to block practice versus interleaved practice. Give both of them a try to see how well they work for you. Knowing How to Practice Will Turn You Into a Better Musician The only way you’re going to get better at playing the piano, the drums, or the guitar is by practicing, practicing, and practicing some more. Make sure you know how to practice before you get started so you can make the most of your sessions. You’ll notice a difference in the way that you play when you make practice a big priority. Contact us today if you would like to start taking music lessons and turn yourself into the best musician you can be. Recent Comments

Pre Workout musings After yesterday+s workout I actually wasn’t sure what I was going to do at the gym at today. After the 6-8 workout yesterday, all of my muscles, including the biceps, were sore. And if you are splita onlly kind of a lifter, I can tell you full body DOMS are way more interesting! And today is an 8-10 day, not way easier and friendlier than yesterday! I have to admit I was contemplating skipping today’s workout. Normally, how I felt today would be enough for me to do this. I am not the one to come up with excuses, but I am the one to listen to my body. Sometimes the body tells you the next workout will hinder more than help and you should listen. However, life also needs to be coonsidered: if I skipped today, I’d also have to skip tomorrow and that would be 2 consecutive days off weights. And I had a rest day 2 days ago. This adds up to too much rest, so the conclusion was simple: grit your teeth and get to the gym, regardless! Now mind this is my conclusion due to the fact my body as suffering with DOMS only. If I had felt in any way sick or otherwise unwell, I’d interpret that as coming near over training and skipped the workout anyway. I always find it better to add extra rest day or two than to earn myself a few rest weeks down with a serious cold or injury due to battered immune system or weakened joints and tendons. So on to… The workout Considering I felt not up to the challenge, I figured I would make my workout easier by pairing big muscles with smaller muscles (ie, chest and biceps), or distant muscles (ie, legs and back) rather than do my usual antagonist supersets. Another idea that came to mind was to use more machines than free weights. This makes the workout a little easier, but also a lot safer when you’re exhausted. The fact the gym was packed full of meat heads didn’t help my case. This meant I had to be doubly creative on the spot. Here’s what I did: - Lat pull downs vs barbell press - Cable row vs side lateral raises - Incline bench press vs hack squat machine - Hyperextensions vs barbell biceps curls - Narrow grip bench press vs db curls - Cable crossovers vs side cable curls - Somewhere amongst all this, dumbbell triceps extensions as supplemental sets This was a hard grind. Lat pull downs were at 60 kg, barbell presses 33 kg, incline bench at 50, hack squat pyramid 90-100- 100, barbell curls 22 kg, cable crossovers 2×25 kg, dumbbell curls with 12 kg dumbbells. I was surprised at how strong I was and how quickly the pain went away during the workout. In fact everything recovered to full power but my legs. This, combined with a planned cycling trip for tomorrow, motivated me to go a bit easier on the legs and do Hyperextensions as the second legs exercise. Supplementary Sets One thing I haven’t cleared out are “supplementary sets”. So this was an 8-10 workout, and as such it doesn’t require so much warming up and working up to as yesterday’s one did. However it does require some warm up, For example I didn’t just load 50 kg on an Incline barbell press and pumped out 3 sets of 8-10. Before that, I did a set of 12 with only 40 kg. I also worked up to my hack squat weight, etc. While doing supersets, warmups often mess with the set dynamics (ie, I do 2 warmups and 3 working sets of one exercise but only the 3 working sets of the other). In order to avoid building up unnecessary volume and possibly over training, but also unwilling to sacrifice the superset dynamics, I’ll use an unplanned supplementary movement. So if I’m doing exercises A and B in a superset, where A has a warmup and B doesn”t, this is what it will look like: - Warmup A vs working B - Warmup A vs working B - Working A vs working B - Working A vs C - Working A vs C Why do this instead of just pairing two exercises that need a warm up? Well, because when execusitng a workout in real life and in real time; it often happens you can’t do this due to equipment availability. So I use “exercise C” instead. Depending of my mood, current goals and level of energy, exercise C might be a simple isolation movement, like today; a heavy energy consuming power exercise or an abs exercise. The only goal here is not to add volume where it’s not due. Since typically I do only 1 triceps specific exercise, so adding one more wasn’t a biggie, and since I was already well worked yesterday it didn”t consume too much of my energy and hinder the actual workout. Post Workout Another day well utilized. I am surprised at how well I did today, but I am also fully ready for a rest day tomorrow.

Days after celebrating Juneteenth, Nevada County welcomed its newest historical landmarks. The Nevada County Historical Landmarks Commission is pleased to announce the Nevada County Board of Supervisors has designated the Kentucky Ridge Mine Site and the Grass Valley African Methodist Episcopal Church and School Site as Nevada County Historical Landmarks, NEV 21-01 and NEV 21-02 respectively. Located near the intersection of Bitney Spring Rd and Lone Lobo Trail, the Kentucky Ridge Mine Site was the largest enterprise in California operated by enslaved Black labor despite California joining the Union as a free state. After gold was discovered on the site in 1851, former Florida plantation owner Colonel William F. English, one of over a dozen slave owners in Nevada County at the time, brought between 30 and 45 slaves from Florida and South Carolina to mine. After English died in a gun accident in August 1852, the mine failed. Some of the former slaves stayed and tried to mine for themselves, but most gradually migrated down into Grass Valley, many settling in the Boston Ravine area. Many of the slaves went on to be pillars of the community. Isaac Sanks, husband of Chasey, one of the slaves, became a religious leader, businessman, and newspaper reporter who helped to gain Black men the right to serve on juries and vote by 1870. Mr. Sanks may have been the first Black to run for public office in California, when he ran for Grass Valley town trustee in 1870. Any questions regarding the Kentucky Ridge Mine Site should be directed to Chuck Scimeca at (530) 277-1573. The African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church grew out of the Free African Society that reached the west coast in the early 1850s. The Society was set up to provide mutual aid for “free Africans and their descendants.” In 1854, the Grass Valley AME Church was erected on what is now South Church Street on a formerly larger lot that currently comprises 315, 319, 321, and 323 S. Church St. The Grass Valley AME Church held weekly services and was known for its choir. It was used as a venue for concerts and political activities, raising funds for important civil rights causes of the era. The need for a new school was brought on by the 1860s state law that allowed districts to provide segregated education for “Negroes, Mongolians, and Indians” who were prohibited from attending public schools with white children. In 1880, the expense of a separate school system for a relatively small number of Black children in California caused the state to abolish the segregation law. As the Black population of Grass Valley declined towards the end of the 19th century, the church and school were sold at public auction in 1893, and the new owner sold off the property in four parcels where the Victorian homes we see today were built in 1894. The AME church and school were the Black community’s oldest and most important institutions in Grass Valley. The Church and School Site is the first Black institution to be landmarked in Grass Valley. Any questions regarding the Grass Valley AME Church and School site should be directed to Linda Jack at editor@nevadacountyhistory.org. The purpose of the Nevada County Historical Landmarks Commission is to promote the general welfare of Nevada County and its citizens through official recognition, recording, marking, preserving, and promoting the historical resources of Nevada County.

The fresh new Attraction and Keeping the lady Chasing You I’m not seeking to start back up my personal recommendations thread or address PMs. I don’t really have the full time anymore, however if you read the whole earliest bond nonetheless have a concern that you believe is special to your circumstance, please query. I am going to would my best to respond. There are numerous dudes right here giving strong guidance, so I advise your beginning your bond requesting suggestions if you believe possible weed through the 95per cent on the responses that are entirely useless. You will never learn their limitations, if you do not push yourself after dark imaginary lines you have got drawn in the sand. You never only try and reel they in as fast as yo are able. The seafood is actually powerful and as well effective. The range or rod will end up busting before you even get it half-way to the motorboat. The right way strategy to find the big fish would be to put it on straight down. You reel it in a little, after that let it back completely, over and over again. Each and every time, reeling it in more than allowing it to on, until it is flopping around near to you inside ship. Most men have the mind-set that they must constantly communicate with a female to help keep their curious. That is, if she is not talking to you, next this woman isn’t thinking about both you and will likely be swept up because of the subsequent chap that hits on her behalf. Actually, it’s the actual other influence on people. Chronic, longer get in touch with could make you look needy/clingy and drive the girl out. The fishing line will click. This indicates counter user-friendly, unless you recognize how appeal is proven to work. Interest for men is first real, subsequently emotional. Where as, destination for females is earliest emotional, next physical. You have to invoke a difficult reaction and also the lady relate that emotion along with you. ANY feeling, whether good or terrible. Ideally the vast majority of are going to be close feeling, but there is however in addition a location for adverse feelings, that we can get to later. If you’re able to invoke feelings, then you will remain on her attention for days or months at a time w/out actually talking-to the lady. She is regarding the angling range available to reel this lady much more. In relation to lady. LESS within right time is MORE. You will not learn your own restrictions, unless you force yourself past the imaginary traces you have got used the mud. Now that we all know that providing the lady an excessive amount of attention was a negative thing, how will you relax? Basically, remove their desire. Even in writing, that sounds smoother mentioned that complete, but if you get rid of the desire, you’ll have complete control over your thoughts and measures. Its like heading trips to market. If you should be depriving, you’re going become buying loads a snacks you didnot require or desire that probably is not the least bit good for you. Not really their will power could come through for your family this time. Should you have simply consumed before-going, you might posses easily been able to adhere to the grocery list, since you will have got total control over the need to eat all things in picture. Reducing your desires- 1. remain busy – School, efforts, pals, football, whatever. 2. Continue to speak to additional girls. This lady shouldn’t be their #1 top priority. Remaining active and speaking with additional women will prevent you from getting one-itis and experiencing the requirement to consistently think of the girl and speak to her. The considerably there is certainly of you going in, the greater desirable you might be. I am not claiming entirely ignore the woman. You have to pick an equilibrium between offering the lady excessive focus and not adequate attention. You do not need the hook to fall on just as much as you wouldn’t like the fishing range to-break. You might never discover the restrictions, if you do not force your self past the imaginary outlines you’ve got drawn in the mud.

ADHD and Nutrition The links you see within our articles are links to products which we have found safe & effective for the conditions and ailments being discussed. They are natural & holistic products that we honestly believe in and feel confident recommending, and which are backed by iron-clad, unconditional money-back guarantees. ~Dee If you enjoy this post, please share it using the buttons in the article, we'd really appreciate it! There are many reasons that can lead to the occurrence of ADHD in children. Most of these factors have been studied in detail. One of the causative factors that have been postulated to have a profound impact on ADHD is lack of proper nutrition. A growing number of scientific studies have linked nutritional deficiencies like deficiency of essential fatty acids and amino acids has been linked to ADHD. Also, intake of some ingredients found in foods has been linked with the onset of ADHD. If this does not convince you let us look at the results of some of the studies conducted in different parts of the world. The first study that linked ADHD with lower levels of essential fatty acids was conducted in 1981. A similar study conducted in 1983 found lower levels of essential fatty acids in children with ADHD. In an independent study conducted in Oxford, researchers reported that ADHD symptoms improved in children who received essential fatty acids in their diet. In 1996, researchers at Purdue University reported that boys with low levels of omega 3 fatty acids had higher incidence of ADHD. It is postulated that consumption of a diet that is high in protein content helps in alleviating symptoms of ADHD. A research conducted at the George Washington University reported that the hyperactive children who consumed a meal that was high in protein content performed equally well and sometimes better than non hyperactive children at school. Another research showed lower levels of iron in about thirty three percent of children suffering from ADHD. Another interesting observation was that lower levels of iron lead to higher severity of symptoms. It has also been observed that children who are suffering from ADHD have a higher probability of suffering from food allergies. It is postulated that presence of allergens in foods leads to a poor absorption of essential nutrients like zinc and vitamin C. In a controlled study, when the researchers removed these allergens, the hyperactivity in children reduced. When these allergens were reintroduced in the diet, the children again started showing the symptoms of ADHD. Though this link has not been proven conclusively, there is no harm in trying this method. It is prudent to consider nutrition as one of the first aspects of treatment, be it as an alternative treatment or used in conjugation with pharmaceutical drugs. To summarize, one should modify the diet in such a way that it contains a judicious mix of proteins, vegetables and complex carbohydrates. Processed foods and simple sugars should be eliminated from the diet. The diet should contain required amounts of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and mineral and at the same time it should be free from food allergens. This will ensure that the production and utilization of energy is controlled effectively by the body, thereby resulting in a better focus and calm behavior. A proper diet coupled with other forms of ADHD treatments like medication and behavior therapy can offer the best results in alleviating this condition. It is important that the diet plan be drawn up by an expert. If you are skeptical about feeding drugs to your child, you can try out natural medicines for ADHD treatment. Nowadays, natural remedies for ADHD are also becoming popular though these have not been scientifically studied.

The key ingredient list: Encapsulated BHA (Salicylic Acid), Maclura Cochichinesis Leaf Prenylflavonoids, Collagen,Medium mw Hyaluronic Acid Price: The 5 ml size cost Rp 158.000, The 15 ml size cost Rp 380.000and the full-size 30 ml cost Rp 680.000 Purchase on: Tokopedia, Shopee or beningbersinar.com Packaging: It is come in travel size and full-size product, in a simple clear glass bottle with pipette dropper. Texture: Gel consistency, a little goes a long way The application: I put it on the serum slot or right after I do double cleansing on a dry face Shelf Life: 12 months The claim: It’s a common myth that acne breakouts only happen to teenagers. Hormonal fluctuations and chronological aging create the perfect storm for producing adult acne. Clarifying serum helps to clear the pores, keep the bacteria acne away, reduce inflammation and balance the oil production on the skin. This no-frills formula is an effective daily skin treatment option to minimize acne flare-ups and clogged pores. The third product I purchased from this brand Duvaderm. So far, I like their products a lot, especially the breakout fighter line. This time I tried their clarifying serum. I was so impressed by the acne spot that I want to purchase a serum to tackle breakout. When I ask the brand’s customer service about the difference between the acne spot and the clarifying serum, whether I should get both or acne shot is enough for me. They said the clarifying serum is more like for face maintenance that helps prevent acne from forming on the skin while the acne shot is a spot treatment for acne that already surface on the skin. Both products have a similar texture of the watery gel, but the Duvaderm clarifying serum is slightly thicker. Both easy to spread and absorb into the skin. It has no smell and no color at all. Does not feel sticky on the skin. Duvaderm clarifying serum can act to prevent breakout as well as to reduce the existing acne inflammation. Duvaderm clarifying serum work effective in calming potential acne. You know when you feel like a huge acne bump is about to show itself the next morning, complete with the painful feeling when you accidentally touch it. Duvaderm clarifying serum and the acne shot complement each other very well. It’s like a dynamic duo to fight acne. When I use the Duvaderm acne shot on itself it helps reduce the acne size in a bit slower phase but combine with the clarifying serum the effectiveness will be a boost. The Duvaderm clarifying serum function reminds me of Kypriss clearing serum that I love very much (but I have not purchased it for a while now). In terms of reducing breakout, both have similar effects. I am happily replaced Kypriss with Duvaderm since it is cheaper and easier to buy. Moreover, it is a local product, OMG it is an Indonesian brand. I am so happy to see a local skincare brand that has this kind of amazing quality. Since this serum contains BHA, I would suggest to be more careful using other BHA products in combination with this serum. I was using this 3 days in a row then on the forth day I use my Paula’s choice 2% BHA and my skin become a bit too dry and my cheeks are red on the next day. Pair it with a more hydrating serum might be a better option. The full-size price of The Duvaderm clarifying serum is quite pricey. If you are wondering which one you should get between The Duvaderm clarifying serum or Duvaderm acne shot, you should analyze your skin need. If you are looking for a product for active acne, maybe the acne shot is better for you. But if you look for something to prevent breakout for let says during a period of time, you can opt for The Duvaderm clarifying serum. Or you can purchase both but in the travel size first to see whether it work for your skin or not. By the way, this is one of the plus points that I like Duvaderm, they provide The Duvaderm clarifying serum in travel size so that customers can try the product first before commit to the full-size product. In fact, they have a 15 ml size at a more affordable price than the 30 ml in size. Another thing is these acne fighter products are gentle on the skin. One thought

LC ROAD TRIP LEXUS AS GLOBAL LUXURY LIFESTYLE BRAND The launch of the Lexus LC luxury coupe has a wider significance than being an exciting and technologically advanced addition to Lexus’ global model range. The visual impact of its emotional design and its exhilarating performance are manifestations of a radical shift in the Lexus brand that has been developing during the past few years. In automotive terms, Lexus is still a young brand, just 28 years old, but even in that short time the perceptions of what luxury means have changed. Back in 1989 people would choose a prestige car as a status symbol. Today the concept of luxury has evolved into a mindset that values quality and exclusivity not just in things, but in experiences and social interactions. One of the qualities that has distinguished Lexus ever since it entered the highly competitive luxury car market is our commitment to delivering highest standards of customer service. Our philosophy is based on Omotenashi, interpreting and developing the best traditions of Japanese hospitality I n treating customers as you would guests in your home and anticipating their every need and preference. The result is an exceptional, personalised experience and an approach to business that has earned Lexus multiple awards for customer satisfaction worldwide. Such is the solid foundation on which Lexus is now taking its work beyond automotive into new arenas where it can nurture and inspire innovation, creativity and craftsmanship. For example, in the world of international design we have been a leading contributor to Milan Design Week since 2005. W e also host an annual competition for up-and-coming talent and present specially commissioned works that capture key themes from our own design philosophy. Lexus is supporting film-makers, too. Working with leading international producers such as The Weinstein Company we provide a showcase for new talents in the Lexus Short Films series, established in 2013. We are also bringing our design vision to the big screen. Collaborating with the EuropaCorp studios and acclaimed director Luc Besson, Lexus has helped create a futuristic pursuit aircraft – the SKYJET – for the science fiction blockbuster Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. A focus on imaginative technology has brought numerous world-first features and capabilities to Lexus cars. This drive for technical innovation has spread further to embrace exciting new challenges commanding wider public attention and acclaim. For instance, Lexus succeeded in building a fully functioning hoverboard. And, earlier this year, we unveiled the sleek and powerful Lexus Sport Yacht Concept, applying our technology and design skills for the first time to the world of marine high-performance. Lexus’ vision is not confined to creating great cars like the new LC. Our ambition is to build an exciting global lifestyle brand with a much wider outlook, an approach captured by our new brand tagline, “Experience Amazing”. In this way, Lexus is defining its own territory in the premium market, going beyond the purely numerical understanding of what a luxury car should be. The result is a holistic brand experience that is supported by a passion for design, craftsmanship, quality, technology and an unparalleled customer experience – qualities that are perfectly showcased in the new LC luxury coupe. LEXUS LC KEY FACTS BRAVE DESIGN - An all-new luxury GT with a dynamic design and evocative, fluid lines. - The first model in its segment to be offered with 21-inch wheels. - A driver-focused cabin providing both luxury and a sporting feel with a low-set driving position, helping create an ideal connection between driver and car. EXHILARATING PERFORMANCE - Lexus’ all-new, ultra-rigid GA-L platform, allowing to improve inertia specifications by moving all the critical weight to the car’scentre and offering a lower centre of gravity and a more sporty driving position. - A highly rigid and lightweight body. - New multi-link front and rear suspension systems secure precise handling characteristics. IMAGINATIVE TECHNOLOGY - LC 500h equipped with a 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V6 engine and Lexus’ all-new Multi Stage Hybrid System, delivering excellent efficiency and the most engaging hybrid driving experience yet. - LC 500 equipped with a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine and a new direct shift 10-speed automatic transmission – a world first for a premium passenger car. TAKUMI CRAFTSMANSHIP Developed and produced by highly-skilled, high-precision Lexus Takumi workers using their knowledge from the LFA supercar development and utilising high-quality materials. LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM + Comprehensive Lexus Safety System + fitted as standard to ensure the highest active safety standards. A CHOICE OF TWO PREMIUM AUDIO SYSTEMS - 13-speaker Mark Levinson Reference Product audio system or - 12-speaker Pioneer premium audio surround system. A FLAGSHIP LUXURY COUPE The LC is a new flagship 2+2 luxury coupe for Lexus’ global model range, not only showcasing the qualities of design, engineering and advanced technology that define us as a premium vehicle manufacturer, but also symbolising our ambition as a luxury lifestyle brand. This isn’t simply a car that looks good. It has been engineered in every dimension to deliver unique driving experience. “Even sharper and more refined” were the constant watchwords as Lexus honed every aspect of the LC’s performance, ride and handling. The LC is a contemporary interpretation of the finest traditions of the grand tourer, a coupe focused on the road, not the track. Its handling, responsiveness and comfort have been tuned on some of the world’s great driving roads, to deliver a rewarding and hugely enjoyable experience. The quality is equally high in both versions of the car that are being brought to the marketplace, the LC 500h and the LC 500 – two models that offer unique propositions for customers. The LC 500h marks a revolution I n the development of hybrid technology being the first model to benefit from Lexus’ Multi Stage Hybrid System. Adding a multi-stage shift device to the 3.5-litre, together with improved environmental performance. The LC 500 is powered by the latest development of Lexus’ normally aspirated V8 petrol engine, tuned to deliver 477 PS/351kW, with improved acceleration feel to the driver and the kind of engine note that only a normally aspirated V8 can deliver. This unit is matched to the world’s first 10-speed direct shift automatic transmission for a premium car, to secure a genuinely rewarding driving experience.

After making things official in November 2020, the two suffered from some cheating drama, with many fans claiming that Hall had cheated on Addison while traveling to Las Vegas. While both Hall and the woman he’d purportedly cheated with vehemently denied the accusations, it seems that this dealt an irreparable blow to their relationship, as Addison unfollowed him on social media a short while later. Advertisement View this post on Instagram Now, Rae has officially revealed whether or not she and Hall are still dating — and the answer was a definite “no.” A March 25 paparazzi interview, Rae was caught outside and asked if she and Hall had really broken up. “No, we are not [together], but I wish him the very best,” she answered. “He’s amazing, and I think we both are doing great things in our lives.” As for whether or not she’ll ever take him back, Rae didn’t give an answer — but this interview confirms what many fans had been speculating all along after she appeared to refer to Hall as her “ex-boyfriend” during a previous interview for Apple Music. Advertisement Bryce Hall responds to Addison Rae breakup interview Shortly after Rae’s interview went viral, Bryce Hall uploaded his own video discussing the drama, likewise confirming that they are no longer together and claiming that he did not want to discuss any reasons why, as it was “our own private business.” “I wanted to keep everything off social media in the first place, but obviously, that didn’t work out at all,” he explained. “I think everyone has their own perception and idea of why we broke up, and I’ll tell you right now, that’s not true at all.” Hall went on to claim that he did not cheat on Addison, as had been heavily theorized by fans, stating that they had actually broken up around a month ago. Advertisement “Both of us are going through a ****ton of things right now behind the scenes that we don’t want necessarily comfortably want to talk about to a camera, especially. With all that stress, we mutually decided that it would be best to part ways.” For now, it looks like TikTok’s star couple is done — although whether or not they’ll ever get back together remains in the air.

We’re informed their two-bedroom, two-bathroom nook unit faces downtown towards the Monetary District and likewise boasts river views. An analogous unit within the constructing prices $1.96 million or rents for about $8,000 a month. A supply confirmed to us that though James, 29, and Cameron, 27, seem as spokesmodels on One Manhattan Square’s Instagram, they nonetheless pay hire for the luxurious pad, although it’s unclear how a lot. “They one hundred pc don’t reside there without cost,” the supply stated. “From my understanding, there isn’t a quid professional quo on posting.” One Manhattan Sq. has 800 residences, which vary from one to three-bedrooms, and the constructing is formed like a Z so virtually “each unit has views.” The constructing can also be dwelling to the biggest non-public facilities house within the metropolis, with over 100,000-square-feet that includes an indoor saltwater pool, a tranquility backyard, a health heart with sauna, and theater house. “Matt and Tyler have been recognized to be on the basketball courtroom quite a bit with different residents,” a supply shared. Cameron first moved into One Manhattan Sq. within the fall of 2019, and has been open about where lives on social media. With him and James boasting shut to three million followers mixed, we’re informed there have been a couple of followers who’ve tried to catch a glimpse of the “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” stars. “Nobody has undoubtedly infiltrated the constructing, however there have been some followers who’ve walked on or found the constructing due to that,” a supply stated.

Despite Challenges for LGBTQ+ Community, Signs of Progress Deserve Attention Owen Hurcum, elected mayor of Bangor, Wales, at the age of 23, is believed to be the first openly non-binary mayor in the world. Although the LGBTQ+ community has had its challenges, there’s definitely been a lot of progress, even through 2021. Members of the community are seeing more acceptance and finally getting more representation and rights. No longer battling so much discrimination can make people’s lives much easier. Before getting into the positive developments, it’s important to stay educated about the current issues the community is facing. On June 1st, the first day of Pride Month, the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, signed the “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act.” Although by the name it may seem to benefit women, it’s actually harming them. This law means transgender women can no longer compete in sports as women; they must compete as men. It still allows transgender men to play in men’s sports, however. DeSantis believes cisgender women will lose out on scholarships or other athletic opportunities if transgender women play on women’s sports teams; this is because he believes transgender women will have an advantage over cisgender women, assuming they will have superior physical strength because of their biological sex. Although this makes no sense, as everyone’s body is different and a person’s sex does not equal their gender, sadly this is and idea DeSantis is promoting. At the same time, though, there are a lot of positive things going on in the community also. On May 10th, in Bangor, Whales, 23-year-old Owen Hurcum became the first ever openly non-binary person to be elected mayor. “When I came out two years ago I was so worried I’d be ostracized by my community or worse,” Hurcum tweeted. “Today my community elected me Mayor of our great City. The youngest ever Mayor in Wales. The first ever openly Non-Binary Mayor of any city anywhere. Beyond humbled.” This is a huge milestone for the LGBTQ+ community. It’s very difficult to see any type of representation anywhere, especially in politics. Hurcum goes by they/them pronouns and identifies as nonbinary, genderqueer and agender. Before being elected mayor they worked as a councillor for five years. They also helped organize the first ever Pride in Bangor, back in 2019. Hurcum was also only 23 years old at the time of the election, making them the youngest mayor in Bangor’s history. They are also a role model for many transgender and nonbinary people across the world, who rarely see enough representation. To see a leader with a gender identity that is not commonly accepted is a huge step in the right direction. During the Trump Administration, the federal government banned transgender people from serving openly in the military. Thankfully, as of January 25, 2021, that ban has been lifted by the Biden Administration. Transgender people are now allowed to serve their country in the military for the first time since 2016. The government is also in the process of finding a way to let transgender people transition while serving. In 2011, people that experience attraction to the same gender were first allowed to openly serve in the military. Then, in 2013, family and spouse benefits were opened up to couples of the same gender. This shows that the United States is opening up to new ideas and becoming more accepting of the LGBTQ+ community. There are many Pride events going on this summer, especially with Pride Month in June. One, which is called “One City One Pride 2021,” takes place in West Hollywood. This is an art festival that celebrates work from LGBTQ+ artists; it starts May 22th and ends June 30th. San Diego also has a Pride parade that runs from July 10th to July 18th, with floats and festival activities. You can find more information by clicking this link. Although there’s a lot going on in the world right now, make sure to spare some time for yourself and maybe even go to a Pride event. There’s been a lot of progress within the LGBTQ+ community recently, even during the pandemic, and that’s something to celebrate. The progress that has been made will only continue. Representation and rights within the community are very important and could have a big impact on how people react to the LGBTQ+ community. If you are within the LGBTQ+ community (including those questioning) and ever feel lonely or suicidal and need someone to talk to, there is a helpline made specifically for the community by The Trevor Project. Feel free to call 1-866-488-7386 or text START to 678-678. More resources are available at The Trevor Project’s website. All of these resources offer trained counselors and are available 24/7. Having so many resources open to LGBTQ+ people is one more sign of how much the world has grown.

Global Lunatic Asylum Update | 3 October 2021 Making sense of what's going on right now... Global Lunatic Asylum Update Things are coming to a head soon. They are certainly hotting up globally around both the ‘plandemic’ and the coming dollar financial collapse. One of my favourite sources of news - Clif High (see below) - is calling this ‘Red October’ and says it will be followed by “Black November & December”. Clif can be a bit off on timings but he’s usually right on it with events. If you are brave enough, this week’s Dollar Vigilante video does an excellent job of light-heartedly summing this week’s events up succinctly. I also like The Crowhouse with Max Egan, Clif High’s regular ‘Woo’ updates and new favourite Remarque88. You can get all of those on Bitchute.com and get email notifications of new videos. Or if you want exceptional quality but no reminders, you can see the Dollar Vigilante, Crowhouse, Ron Paul and Del Bigtree at the Dollar Vigilante video page here. Prices of food are climbing fast. I’ve been tracking some basic items since March 2020 and inflation is definitely running at more like 30% for the things we actually buy and use. The official figure is 4%, still up 100% from 2020. Going out for dinner (one of our favourite pastimes) is also rather painful now - not least because eating out in Greece is so affordable. There’s a sudden ‘fuel shortage’ going on, nobody can get petrol this week. One more effective way to make sure nobody can go anywhere. Nobody is sure if it’s a lack of lorry drivers or a lack of fuel, but the army is being brought in to deliver petrol nationwide here in the UK. Perhaps the PTB (powers that be) are getting us used to seeing the army on the streets perhaps? Most people are blaming Brexit, not lockdowns of course. Talking of the Government, Boris Johnson heads to Manchester (on the wrong train according to the photo opportunity) while planning ever more Machiavellian ways to make sure the Tories stay in power forever. This seems to have woken up even The Guardian who everyone had written off as a Government controlled mouthpiece, much like the BBC. The Evergrande property & bond issue is still rumbling on in China and the Debt Ceiling didn’t get raised in the USA. A new Bill is due, handing out ever more made up money to crony causes, and it’s called…no! wait for it, the ‘Build Back Better’ Bill. Rubbing our noses in the fact that the USA is now run out of Davos, or worse, Bejing. Due to the rising uncertainty, the stock market in the USA is looking very rocky now and may crash anytime. It’s getting so certain, even I am thinking of shorting the Nasdaq or Dow Jones. Gold and Silver prices are still being manipulated heavily, but the Wall Street Silver boys are still bullish and buying. Bitcoin is starting to look like it might fulfil its promise of $100k by Christmas. Jack Mallers released the API of his Strike App which makes it easy, fast, cheap and more private to use Bitcoin and in a surprise deal, Twitter started using it to facilitate Tips has certainly boosted the price of BTC, in spite of China actually cracking down on all Crypto, while owning a LOT of Bitcoin themselves. And gold. According to a wealth of available official government data coming out now, in all countries, there is a twenty times rise in deaths as soon as the vaccines start being actively distributed in all countries. That’s got to make you think, surely? There’s a nice little video illustrating that. Various people are serving legal papers in Courts around the world, trying to force the truth and stop the jabbing of kids especially. That’s a slow business but it did work in Alberta, Canada, when one guy fought the Courts about a fine he got and won, after which all restrictions and jab mandates were mysteriously removed. The Veritas Project are releasing a series of ‘whistleblower’ videos and the ‘Nurses Speak Out - #Au’ Telegram group is extremely eye-opening about what they have seen and what they are experiencing. We need a ‘Nurses Speak Out UK’ telegram group. Did the people in charge, whoever they may be, really not realise that if you start sacking health care workers for not getting the jab (those same nurses who we were all being encouraged to clap as heroes last year) they will start singing like canaries about what has really been going on behind the scenes? People with nothing to lose will start losing it! as Andy always says. Even Dr Hilary Jones from ITV got some very vocal protestors outside his house this week telling him exactly what they thought of him through a megaphone and serving some sort of ‘common law’ legal papers on him. I was also unable to watch James Martin’s ‘Saturday Morning’ show this week because ‘Dr Killory’ was the main guest! Senator Ron Paul in the USA is continuing his rather splendid ‘harrying’ of Dr Fauci and other liers in the USA and other Senators are having to quote the UK vaccine death & illness numbers in the Florida Senate because they don’t have the detailed data age related data available there. Deliberately, I suspect. The Expose has calculated that we are seeing 78% of ‘Covid-19’ deaths in the double jabbed, a 47% rise in teen deaths since they started going into schools and jabbing teens, while 999 calls for Cardiac Arrests are at an all-time high. Even Canada’s Health Minister Dr Theresa Tam is suddenly - and very obviously - suffering from Bell’s Palsy, a well known adverse reaction to the jab. She’s not mentioning it though. At last it’s becoming unavoidably obvious that, as we knew from April 2020, we have all been lied to and that will become increasingly difficult for the ‘normies’ to ignore this. How will they cope? What will they do? This is going to be a very rude emotional awakening for people who have - deliberately or not - buried their heads in the sand. Evidence is emerging that not all jabs are equal, which we figured out last year, which accounts for the varying degrees of harm being experienced. Our extremely numerate friend Andy posted this on Facebook this week to explain it: Some unscientific science, which is probably way more trustworthy than anything any government says... Turns out that the Vaxxx people took was one of four trial doses (that's come out as true according to the Emergency Approval Documentation). The doses were 30ml, 20ml, 10ml and placebo. Not a reach at all really, when you consider this is an experimental gene therapy! So 'single dosers' have a 25% chance of not having had anything - we shall call them, the 'lucky bastards'. The 'double dosers' who managed to get two placebos are of course the 'extremely lucky bastards'. On the other end of the scale there are the 'double dosers' who got 2 x 30ml totalling 60ml, we shall call them, the 'very unlucky bastards'. Everyone else is somewhere in the middle of unluckiness as they got some level of the #clotshot. So all the deaths probably came from the 'very unlucky bastards', and all the really bad reactions too (that's a guess using that once common thing called rational thought, which is obviously absent in government-approved scientific thinking). Therefore from the middle 'unlucky' group we wait to see who was on the top end, and who was not, ie. who will be struck down in some way during the winter months... However, apparently, our saviours in the medical world don't want levels of unluckiness to factor into this dead pool. So they have chosen to make the booster shot at a level that which will remove any element of luck. There governmental styled final solution is to simply turn everyone into, 'seriously unlucky bastards'... How can they achieve this miraculous situation... By giving them ALL a 100ml shot. I think they are right, that'll fix it! As I said before the first vaxxx was even given... "Anyone dumb enough to take the vaccine, deserves to be allowed to take it." Have a thoughtful weekend, and advise anyone not dumb enough to take the booster, to take vitamin C but particularly vitamin D as it closes off the ACE-2 receptor! Which prevents cellular uptake of coronavirus! Fact-check that, you fact-checking scumbags. People are at last waking up to the human rights abuses going on in Australia, with protests outside the Austalian embassies. One of the Premiers, Gladys Berejiklian has very suddenly resigned over corruption claims, but the Stockholm Syndrome is strong down under with multiple petitions calling for Gladys to stay as Premier of New South Wales (including Sydney) are gaining thousands of signatures as some very upset NSW residents share their dismay at her going. If you are brave enough, Clif High, our favourite computer genius and online linguistics talks to Greg Hunter about what he sees heading our way in the next three months. All of it playing out according to the predictions my clever mate Andy laid out last April 2020. See you next week!

In this post we’ll discuss the four main portable camping sink designs, as well as which one we’ve found to be the overall best camping sink for most needs. *(This post contains affiliate links. This means we may receive a small commission, at no additional cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link. See our full disclosure.) Four Categories of Portable Sinks for Camping: 1. Non-Collapsible Portable Camp Sink with Drain Built in storage for camping sink supplies Inexpensive Built in drain CONS: Bulkier than other portable camping sink options 2. Collapsible Portable Camp Sink with Drain A collapsible portable camping sink offers most of the benefits of a non-collapsible version, but in a much more compact size due to it’s collapsible hard rubber sides. We’ve found that maximizing interior space is essential to enjoying car camping or truck camping on a regular basis, so this option is great for long-term travel while camping or on extended road trips. PROS: Compact, but durable Inexpensive Built in drain CONS: No built in storage for camping sink supplies 3. Nylon Fabric Portable Camping Sink A nylon fabric portable camp sink – like the Sea-to-Summit Camp Sink – is by far the most compact portable camping sink option out there, primarily due to the fact that it’s constructed mostly of TPU coated Nylon fabric. This portable camp sink uses the pressure of the water against the sides of the sink to support its structure – an ingenious design! While it’s small form-factor when not in use is perfect for backpacking camping trips, it ultimately isn’t as well suited for car or truck camping when compared to other portable camp sink options PROS: Extremely compact CONS: No built in drain or storage for supplies Less durable than other options, due to nylon fabric design Takes longer to dry after each as compared to other camping sink options 4. Folding Portable Camp Sink If you’re hosting a large family camping trip, group camping trip, or longer fishing trip, this is the portable camping sink to own! While it’s not as compact as the other options, it’s folding design makes it portable enough. But it wouldn’t be a good option for typical family camping trips or longer term travel or road trips due to its overall bulkier size. PROS: Includes built in counter space, faucet (with garden hose connect), and drain Easy to do larger amounts of dishes for groups Very Durable CONS: Very large, compared to other portable camping sink options Heavy Longer setup time So Which is The Best Portable Camping Sink? After trying a variety of portable camping sinks on our various long-term camping trips over the years, we’ve found that a good mix of convenience, compactness, and portability is what makes for the best portable camping sink. So we ultimately recommend a quality collapsible portable camp sink for most general camping situations – whether you’re tent camping, car camping, or truck camping, it’ll work well for most needs. We currently use and recommend this SAMMART Collapsible Portable Camping Sink* and love its rugged construction, built in drain plug, small form factor, and collapsible design for our camping setup. Additional Portable Camping Sink Supplies: In addition to having the right camping sink for your camp kitchen setup, you’ll also need some portable camping sink supplies to make doing dishes while at camp as quick and easy as possible (so you can get back to actually enjoying the outdoors)! A Dish Scrubber The MSR Alpine Dish Brush/Scraper is an excellent addition to your camping sink setup, and a great alternative to the traditional sponge. It’s also very handy to have a scraper when cooking with a cast iron set at camp (we’ve used this Lodge Cast Iron Set* for years and LOVE it). Biodegradable Camping Dish Soap Camp Suds or Sal Suds* biodegradable camping dishwashing liquid is also a staple for doing dishes in your camping sink, as both are environmentally friendly. And because they’re concentrated it doesn’t take much to do the job – so a small bottle will last you quite a while! A Microfiber Drying Mat for Camping A Microfiber Drying Mat is also really handy to keep with your camping sink supplies. You can simply stack the dishes on top of the mat and let them air dry, and the microfiber material drys much faster than a standard cotton dish towel. Whether you’re camping solo, with your family, backpacking, or hosting a large group camping trip, we hope this guide has helped you select the best portable camping sink for your next adventure.

This is less of a review and more of my spoiler-filled thoughts and raw emotions. So, if you have not seen Spider-Man: No Way Home, please bookmark this tab and return after watching the movie. I love Spider-Man. That’s not a surprising statement, especially for a guy who grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s. My first memories are of my parents taking me to Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2. I grew up playing Spider-Man 2 (the video game) on my Playstation 2, watching the 90s Spider-Man cartoon, reading Stan Lee‘s and Steve Ditko‘s original comic books (they were hidden inside of the Sunday paper), and moving on to shows like The Spectacular Spider-Man, and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Spidey is in my DNA, but it’s never something I honestly thought about. I was always a fan, but my favorites were Superman, Batman, The Ninja Turtles, the Teen Titans, and even characters like The Flash and Aquaman. Still, I always had a love for the web-slinger deep down. Tobey Maguire‘s Spider-Man films are one of the reasons I love movies, and the grounded but lighthearted tone is why I tend to value these types of stories. Peter Parker is a character designed for children, and his stories, teach kids the basic but poignant lesson; with great power, there must also come great responsibility. It’s a tired lesson at this point, but Stan and Steve wanted kids to develop a moral compass. If you can help others, you have to do so. In the comics, these words are a narration by Stan. The films and shows took creative liberty by having Uncle Ben, a casualty of Peter’s selfishness, utter these words before his death. A change that pushes the idea even further. Ben teaches Peter this lesson because he wants Peter to think of others, not just as Spider-Man (Ben doesn’t even know about that), but rather to grow into a caring and compassionate human being. Steve Rogers, Clark Kent, Peter Parker, and Barry Allen are all cut from the same cloth. They are all good guys at their core. The twist for Spider-Man is that Peter can never win. He struggles, falls, and loses everything, but he never lets that stop him. Peter might even break, but he’ll always build himself back up. It’s what makes this character timeless. He’s someone every single person can see themselves in. That’s why he wears a full-faced mask. Anyone can be Spider-Man, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. You, too, can be Spider-Man, and fight for what you believe in. It’s a story about loss and how we bounce back from it. Every day I wake up knowing that no matter how many lives I protect, no matter how many people call me a hero, someone even more powerful could change everything.Peter Parker – The Amazing Spider-Man 2 So, growing up, I loved the character, and the Raimi trilogy was coming to an end. The next big thing was coming, and we all felt it as soon as Iron Man hit theaters the following year. The MCU was another monumental moment in my life as I was barely a teenager when The Avengers hit theaters. Again, my parents took my sister and me to yet another comic book movie that blew my mind. The idea that these characters I loved got a chance to team up was unreal, and I haven’t felt a moment like that sense. The pure joy and excitement that this movie gave me are why I think stories are powerful. The Avengers is not a perfect movie. It might be the worst of the four, but like Superman: The Movie made the world believe a man could fly, The Avengers made me think that anything is possible. What does any of this have to do with Spider-Man: No Way Home? Well, Spider-Man: No Way Home made me feel the way I did watching The Avengers, seeing Spider-Man all the back in 2002, and experiencing Avengers: Endgame, which felt like a chapter of my life coming to an end. On the surface, Spider-Man: No Way Home is a cash grab. It’s nostalgia and fan service just for ticket sales. They didn’t have to create new villains with new actors because Sam Raimi (The Spider-Man trilogy) and Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man films) did the heavy lifting. However, this movie is so much more. No Way Home is the final chapter of a Peter Parker origin story. The MCU’s Spider-Man is vastly different from the ones that came before. He’s discovered by Tony Stark, taken in as an Avenger, groomed to become the next Iron Man, and given the keys to the kingdom. That’s not the relatable everyman Stan envisioned, but yet he still had every struggle and learned the lessons all others learn. Homecoming was Peter learning that being a hero is complex and he needs to take this life seriously. Far From Home was Peter getting betrayed. He’s too loose with his identity, he trusts Mysterio when he just met him, and Nick Fury wasn’t even who he claimed to be. Finally, No Way Home is about Peter suffering the consequences of his actions. A lesson that Stark had to learn as well. In this film, Peter’s luck runs out, and he falls to the lowest point any Spider-Man has ever fallen, and we use everything we’ve learned from the Raimi, Webb, and MCU movies to reinforce this idea. The charm of the Raimi films, the grit of the first Webb film, the event style of storytelling in the MCU crafted one of the best Spider-Man stories of all time. See, like in Spider-Man’s comic origins, Peter’s selfishness leads to the events of this film, and he loses everything he’s ever cared about. His wanting to “be normal” leads to him giving into Mysterio, which creates this entire issue in the first place, but he didn’t learn from there. His wanting to fix his previous mistake leads to him breaking the multiverse. This Spider-Man is a child who has to burn himself before realizing the stove is dangerous. Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: “With great power comes great responsibility.” This is my gift, my curse…Peter Parker – Spider-Man (2002) So by having Aunt May give him the speech and having the other Spider-Men reinforcing her teachings, Peter finally realizes that this job comes with a price, and you have to be prepared to suffer the consequences. The very thesis of Spider-Man’s entire character is laid out in front of us in this movie. All three films told one complete arc, and I didn’t even realize. It’s the culmination of every single Spider-Man story before it. So, back to 24-year old me. I’m in the theater, with my parents and sister, watching Spider-Man once again, and the emotions hit me like a truck. I didn’t realize how much this character, how much these moments, meant to me. Seeing Tobey face off against Goblin when I was five, being devastated watching Gwen’s death at 13, and Peter losing May at 24; this character has been in every phase of my life thus far. Sharing this film, the pinnacle of Spider-Man, with the people who shared these moments with me was unbelievable. Having the three Spider-Men represent every facet of the character (Tobey is the everyman, Andrew is the genius, Tom is the childlike whimsy) was everything I wanted and gave me chills, much like seeing Thor, Cap, and Iron Man for the first time. Spider-Man: No Way Home isn’t a perfect film, nor is it the overall best Spider-Man film, but it’s everything Stan and Steve envisioned. A hero who kids can look to when things feel rough, someone to inspire you to push on, and teaching the lifelong lesson that with great powers comes great responsibility. This is why the ending is one of the best in the entire franchise. The Home trilogy took Peter and broke him down to his lowest low, but now we need to see him pick himself up. He chooses to leave Ned and MJ behind, but he’s happy knowing that they’re safe, and now he has to build a new life for himself. He has to go and become his Spider-Man. Not the next Iron Man, or a clone of Andrew and Tobey, but a brand new friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Look At ME!!! October 6, 2010Posted by nrhatch in Books & Movies, Humor, People. trackback My BFF brought home a fascinating book from the library today: Living in the Age of Entitlement ~ The Narcissism Epidemic. According to the authors, narcissists are: * Materialistic and status conscious * Arrogant, self-centered, vain * Aggressive when insulted * Manipulative and exploitive * Willing to cheat and lie to get ahead * Uninterested in emotional closeness * Attention seeking and desirous of fame And, if the authors are correct, the number of narcissists among us are growing by leaps and bounds. Why the surge? Twenge and Campbell see the epidemic being fueled by four primary factors: (1) parents who are raising royalty; (2) our fascination with celebrities and fame; (3) the quest for attention fed by internet social networking sites (if you’ve got it, flaunt it; if you don’t got it, flaunt it anyway); and (4) easy credit which allows people to pretend they’re better off than they really are (even if they are in debt up to their eyeballs). The authors provide ample evidence of the growth in both narcissistic entitlement and cultural narcissism: * A girl planning her 16th birthday party wanted a major road blocked off for a marching band and a red carpet. * Paris Hilton * People hiring fake paparazzi to follow them around town, snapping photos, in order to appear to be celebrities. * Lindsay Lohan * The increasing reliance on plastic surgery (a five-fold increase) to maintain or attain a desired look. * Increasing exhibitionism on Reality TV, YouTube, and Social Networking Sites. * Spending more than we earn to live in over-sized houses filled with stuff we don’t need or use. * A growing desire to be famous, no matter what . . . talent optional. Bottom line, if you see narcissists everywhere you go these days, you’re not alone. Jean M. Twenge, Ph.D., and W. Keith Campbell, Ph.D., see them too! I feel as though I could easily have authored that book, as much as I’ve complained about these very things. I’ll have to find the book and read it. Thanks! I’ve only skimmed it at this point. But if they are describing narcissists correctly, I see them everywhere. It’s like The Sixth Sense: “I see narcissists . . .” Gosh, you’re talking about me, aren’t you. I never dreamed of the hired paparazzi … *lifts phone and dials rent-a-crowd* Over here, it’s called Celeb 4 A Day. For $3,000, you get 6 fake paparazzi, a publicist, a limo, a bodyguard, and a mocked up celebrity tabloid with your photo on the cover. Bargain! So bizarre the things people do to manipulate public opinion in their favor . . . hiring people to intrude on their solitude so they look like “winners” makes them “losers” in my book. What if they’re eating Spinach Tarts in the park, and get Spinach stuck in their teeth, and that photo ends up on the cover of MyStar magazine (the fake tabloid). . . would they demand their money back? I see your BFF discovered the unauthorized biography of yours truly. Oh well – couldn’t remain a secret forever. The price of fame. . . Funny. You didn’t spring immediately to mind when I thought about the narcissists in our midst. It’s because many people are way more focused on what is outside of them instead of what is inside of them. Just so. Outer beauty is only skin deep . . . but it can be time intensive to maintain. As can “keeping up with the Joneses,” appearing to be uber successful with the cars we drive, the houses we buy, the clothes we wear, and the vacations we take. When we start to care more about WHO we are, rather than about who others THINK we are, the world will settle into a better groove. Definitely sounds interesting… I’ll have to see if my library has this book. Reminds me of something I saw at the State Fair – there was a game booth set up and a sign on the booth said “All children win a prize.” The kids would play and even if they lost miserably, they’d still win a stuffed animal or something. (I guess that puts the “fair” in State Fair – but in the long run, it’s not fair at all.) Every child is perceived as a “winner” in today’s society; even if they lose a simple game, they still get a prize. I think that’s where some of the narcissism comes from – children believing that they’ll always turn out to be the winner. When they grow up, it’s not going to be that way – losers don’t get prizes and winning isn’t all about instant gratification. In real life, it can take years and years to work towards your goals and become a real “winner.” These narcissists believe that because they see themselves as “winners,” they’ll be waited on hand and foot… basically I think that nothing should be handed to anyone, even a child. It’s a good life lesson to have to work hard for the title of “winner” rather than to expect a prize/reward all the time. Nobody should be able to buy “winner” status. It’s something you earn and work hard for. /end rant. Excellent observations, Maggie. Confidence is good. Feeling entitled, not so much. Some of the anecdotes in the book just amaze me. For example, people getting plastic surgery . . . for their pets! Quel idiot! […] posts: Look at ME!!! * Don’t Bring Me Down * Your Wheelbarrow of Woe * Pollyanna’s Perfect Life * What Do […]

Study Information Understanding Water-Quality Conditions in the North Fork Ninnescah River and Cheney Reservoir The primary purpose of Cheney Reservoir is to provide the city of Wichita, Kansas, with a reliable municipal water supply, downstream flood control, wildlife habitat, and recreation. Approximately 70 percent of Wichita's municipal water supply came from Cheney Reservoir. Water-supply needs and reliance on Cheney Reservoir will continue to increase with ongoing population growth and urban development. Source-water protection is essential to preserving water-quality conditions and ensuring safe and reliable drinking-water supplies in the future. Since 1996, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the City of Wichita, has conducted studies in the Cheney Reservoir watershed with the goal of understanding and improving water quality. Initial studies (1996-2001) determined sub-basin sources of contaminants, chemical loading into and out of Cheney Reservoir, changes in reservoir sediment quality over time, and watershed sources of phosphorus. Later studies (after 2001) focused on real-time estimation of water-quality constituent concentrations and mass transport from the watershed, and the description of in-reservoir conditions that may result in the occurrence of cyanobacteria and associated compounds like taste and odor. Knowledge gained from these studies has assisted in the development, implementation, maintenance, and assessment of watershed-management goals and plans to maintain Cheney Reservoir as a public-water supply and recreational resource. Study Overview Cheney Reservoir was constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of the Interior, between 1962 and 1965 to provide downstream flood control, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and a reliable municipal water supply for the city of Wichita, Kansas. The city of Wichita acquires about 70% of its daily water supply (2005) from Cheney Reservoir and provides water to about 400,000 residents in the Wichita area. The Cheney Reservoir watershed includes an estimated 933 square miles of contributing drainage area from the North Fork Ninnescah River and associated tributary streams. The North Fork Ninnescah River is the major inflow to Cheney Reservoir and accounts for approximately 70% of the water flowing into the reservoir. Cyanobacterial blooms in drinking-water supplies and recreational water bodies raise ecologic, economic, and public health concerns. Because of increased treatment costs and customer dissatisfaction with malodorous drinking-water, cyanobacterial production of taste-and-odor compounds is of particular concern to drinking-water suppliers. Taste-and-odor episodes in Cheney Reservoir during the early 1990s prompted water-quality studies in both the reservoir and watershed with a goal towards improving water-quality. The U.S. Geological Survey began cooperative studies of the Cheney Reservoir watershed with the city of Wichita in 1996. Initial studies determined the chemical loading into and out of Cheney Reservoir, changes in reservoir sediment quality over time, and chemical loading from various sub-basins within the watershed. Phosphorus and sediment were identified as the major contaminants in Cheney Reservoir, although salinity, metals, selenium and pathogen indicator bacterial (fecal coliform) also were of concern. In addition, reservoir sediment studies documented an increasing trend in phosphorus concentrations over time. More recent studies (2000-2006) have focused on real-time estimation of water-quality constituent concentrations and transport from the watershed and the description of in-reservoir conditions that may result in the production of algal blooms and taste-and-odor compounds. Models using variables measured by real-time water-quality monitors successfully were developed to provide hourly estimates of the concentrations nutrient, sediment, and taste-and-odor compounds. Ongoing studies at Cheney Reservoir will refine the relations between reservoir and inflow conditions and taste-and-odor occurrences. The city of Wichita plans to use these models, along with other variables measured in real time, to aid in the management of the resource and decrease water-treatment costs.

. The trouble for the industry is that mortgage lending is basically an arbitrage operation more or less. New Century (and others) make loans to non-prime applicants at 2-3 points above market rates -- and bundle these loans as securities, to be sold to Wall Street investors as investment instruments. The payment on these securities is less than the rate of the mortgage -- but nonetheless still a reliable income stream (as mortgages have historically proved to be). As a result, in a good economy, and with "prime" and many non-prime mortgages, the system works and the money flows. Investors are paid a steady return over the life of a mortgage....as long as most mortgage holders keep paying. Early reports appear to indicate that New Century essentially faced a call on earlier funding from one investor, and paid it with fresh capital from another -- thus generating speculation of BK from analysts as defaults climbed. The NYSE even suspended trading according to one recent report I saw. While this all seems to be financial services mumbo-jumbo, the reality in Congress is very different. Led by Massachusetts liberal Barney Frank, the House Financial Services Committee has been signaling an interest to aggressively pursue non-prime lenders for some time. The reality is a double-edged sword. Many non-prime lenders have helped literally open family homes to those with less than perfect credit, less than legit citizenship status, and non-traditional income and savings pictures. On the one hand it's the American Dream; and on the other it's a financial liability. Congress is particularly concerned about the tactics many lenders have used in offering these loans, especially if they are OPTION or neg-amortization loans or ARMS vilified in the media. You can bet hearings will be held, lenders will be criticized about keeping the poor, minorities and non-traditional borrowers out of homes at the expense of those with better credit pictures. Sadly for the industry, hearings will likely paint the industry as predators rather than facilitators willing to invest in those who can meet the standards of committment to make a mortgage work. The challenge for the industry is that Congress will likely paint New Century and other primarily PRIME lenders with a broad brush, accusing the entire industry of practicing tactics that really only a few have dared to use. As sure as the housing market will rise, so too will Congress take a hard look with less than perfect legislation to address what it perceives to be a crisis but in reality is just the markets working the way markets were designed. It will be interesting to see if the media coverage and Congress' action is ready for prime time, or is just like the mortages: non-prime.

As part of a visit to Brussels organised by the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), representatives of the Belarusian Association of Journalists (BAJ) held a press conference on the media situation in Belarus. In her address to the Brussels audience, BAJ Chairwoman Zhanna Litvina spoke about the main challenges facing Belarus’ media community. ‘Belarus is in a state of perpetual anticipation of a change’, ironically remarked Ms Litvina. Changes that were anticipated in the wake of the last parliamentary elections did not materialise. However, the recent decision of the European Union to re-establish contact with the Belarusian authorities following the release of the political prisoners, which was one of the preconditions for ending the international isolation of Belarus, may serve as an impetus for Lukashenka and his associates to loosen their grip on the country. While in the last decade almost all the independent media have been forced out of business, last week’s decision to lift a ban on the publishing of two newspapers, namely Narodnaya Volya and Nasha Niva, provides some ground for hope. Nonetheless, the majority of independent media outlets remain banned, and Ms Litvina admits that ‘there are no illusions about the possibility of a profound change taking place in Belarus in the near future’. The second problem mentioned by Ms Litvina concerns access to information. The BAJ Charwoman explained that it is practically impossible to acquire credible information from the authorities, as no state official could ever give an interview without permission from the above. The authorities continue their campaign against the independent media also by denying accreditation to journalists, particularly working for media outlets based abroad. The third set of problems is related to the legislation affecting mass media. It was noted that the new media law hastily passed by the newly elected parliament would significantly worsen the situation in the media sector. In September 2008, the State Security Committee (KGB) has already initiated criminal cases against several publications and media products that have been accused of propagating ‘extremist ideas’. The government has already placed a ban on a number of media products claiming they bore the signs of ‘extremist character’. These included DVDs of the ‘Solidarity with Belarus’ concert that took place in Warsaw (Poland) in 2006 and a documentary film of a Polish filmmaker Miroslaw Dembinski, ‘A Lesson of Belarusian’. BAJ Deputy Chairman Andrei Bastunets further elucidated the situation with the legislation on the media. He explained that the 2006 amendments to the Criminal Code setting punishment for defamation of the state (Belarus) supplemented the already existing articles providing for a criminal sentence for defamation of President and state officials. Mr. Bastunets also told the audience about the government’s attempt to suppress independent media by requiring official registration with the authorities of all internet publications that constitute the main independent source of information in the country. Mr Bastunets mentioned some improvements in the media sector. These include a round table discussion organised by the OSCE and the Ministry of Information, which is normally reluctant to take part in this sort of events, and the suspension of criminal cases against several publications. He however agreed with Ms Litvina that there should be no unrealistic expectations about possible changes. All the participants of the press conference stressed that it was important that the EU continues applying a strict positive conditionality approach in its dealings with Belarus. However, it is vital that the Belarusian authorities genuinely fulfil the commitments they undertake in the framework of an EU-Belarus dialogue. They also underscored the importance of engaging the country’s democratic forces into this dialogue, which, in their opinion, could not be productive in the absence of freedom of expression and speech. On 2 December 2008, representatives of the BAJ also took part in a Public Hearing ‘Belarus: When Journalists Challenge Media Laws’ held in the European Parliament under the chairmanship of Mr. Jacek Protasiewicz, MEP, Head of the EP-Belarus delegation.

Looking Back, Up, and Forward: Greenpoint Walking Tour By, Melissa Danielle, Outdoor Afro NYC The coldest day of the autumn season couldn’t keep a few adventurous Outdoor Afros from trekking out to one of North Brooklyn’s oldest neighborhoods: Greenpoint. Once a thriving agricultural center, Greenpoint quickly became the hub of industrial manufacturing, establishing shipbuilding, oil refining, pottery, glassworks, and more along its waterfront. Today, this mostly working class neighborhood is home to NYC’s largest immigrant Polish and Polish-American population with a significant Latino presence. In the last ten years, Greenpoint has experienced a wave of gentrification, as young professionals and creatives from nearby Williamsburg and the Lower East Side and East Village neighborhoods of Manhattan have moved in, taking advantage of affordable housing stock. NYC residents pride themselves in maintaining their personal space (and very little eye contact), so much so that they often miss what’s happening around them, even the static occurrences. For example, even though four of the five boroughs are surrounded by water (The Bronx is the only borough attached to the mainland), the fact that Brooklyn is an island is often overlooked and undermined (Hurricane Sandy being a testament to that). Hosted by Bronx River Sankofa’s and Outdoor Afro’s own Morgan Powell, our twilight walking tour began with the Dutch West India Company and ended with the American Civil War. Stops included the Eberhard Faber Pencil factory (once the largest maker of lead pencils in the country), George Pratt’s (founder of Pratt Institute) Astral Oil Works refinery and the apartment building constructed for its employees (one of the first affordable housing units in NYC). We also saw the WNYC Transmitter Park (a former New Deal radio broadcasting station now home to a public waterfront park), highlights of residential and commercial architecture (Dutch stoops, Queen Anne, Neoclassical Revival), the Greenpoint Reform Church and the Dutch Reform Church. Our final stop, McGolrick Park, was the site of a monument of heroic scale honoring the inventor, engineer, as well as the sailors of the USS Monitor, an ironclad warship instrumental in the battle of Hampton Road against the CSS Virginia during the Civil War. Today’s Brooklyn barely resembles its agrarian and industrial past, but its monuments and relics still stand. One Thought on “Looking Back, Up, and Forward: Greenpoint Walking Tour” Thanks so much Melissa for capturing this tour of a neighborhood very few African-American New Yorkers seem to know. I found a key economic link to our history after this tour had passed. All can read about here:

Turn your cant’s into cans and your dreams into plans Kobi Yamada At the beginning of this year, I was filled with optimism and magic. It seemed that the new year held promise like never before – with adventure and new love. I had my happy list of things to do plastered on my phone, Mac and wall. Yet, as the year went by, I found a shift in this magic and sense of adventure. The year went by in the blink of an eye. In the midst of two trying semesters, balancing work and trying to live it up as a twenty-something in this city of coffee and art, I find myself feeling optimistic again. Footpaths are covered in colourful petals from springtime, and the wind is warm. The skies are bright, and the birds wake you up with their cheerful sing-song. At twenty four, I have had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. 2017, through its ten cracking months, has been an experience that has shaped me in the best way possible. I brought in the year with my family and best friend, filled with so much love and laughter. I worked through balancing school and work, and met some amazing people along the way. People who have turned into family and my closest friends. I have moved up my learning curve with every class and colleague at university and work. I learned that a mundane job can be fun if you want it to be. I watched a Fedal final live, and felt my heart beat louder than the cheer in the arena. I swooned over Roo Panes’ voice, wrapped in plaid and flip flops. I watched Adele live and cried like a young girl who found and lost her first and true love in that night. I danced to Justin Bieber and belted out Baby at the top of my voice, in a stadium packed with teenage girls. Mid-year, I thought I found my heart. Somewhere in between rethinking love and life, I broke it too. I experimented with bronzers and bright orange lip colour, and felt like a dangerous woman (yas, Ariana). I started checking off my Goodreads list and remembered what it felt like to read and fall in love (over and over again). I woke up one day and drew my first tattoo, and set a date to get inked. I invested in Spotify and sound playlists after my own heart and mind. I learned that you will have your Cinderella moment, and it doesn’t involve a Prince putting a ring on it. It is more so finding your Manolo Blahnik that fits, and shines brighter than a diamond (yes, I found happiness in my shoe closet and there’s no stopping me now). I booked tickets to more concerts next year and looking forward to the packed stadiums and goosebumps. Through a little bit of this and that, I started a 365-blog: Sun, moon and potatoes. I learned that writing is my safe haven, and that your words (and actions) are your own life lessons. This blog taught me that I am a work-in-progress, and that just like everyone else, I too will have good and bad days. It taught me to accept being let down by myself and others. It taught me that happiness is sought after. It taught me that love takes times, and that family is not formed by blood alone. It taught me that the biggest life lessons are found in the little moments. It taught me that setting boundaries is important too. Most importantly, it taught me that goals can be edited, and no end is ever a dead-end. Scrolling through Facebook and Instagram feeds, I have spent days overthinking the uncertainty the future holds, and nights wondering what direction my fate will take. Through writing, I learned that our worlds unwind, with the ups and downs of life. That no experience is ever failed but only a lesson for tomorrow. That the bitter seeks out the sweet. The next two months might be bigger than the year so far, or not. Here’s to looking forward to the mystery and adventure, and the love and laughter; to turning my can’ts into cans and my dreams into plans. Twenty-four and a half wishes, here’s to watching them come true. Beautiful! Discovering life is amazing, adjustable and never-ending… LikeLiked by 1 person So true 🙂

Google was aiming for validating and improving the local search engine results for a long time and finally the launch of Google Pigeon bears the proof of its concerns. Yes, Google Pigeon is first of its kind algorithm update which is entirely aimed at local search engine results. Though the update is named as Pigeon by the observers mainly and not the Google, it expresses a similarity with the earlier regular updates like Penguin or Panda which are aimed for general search engine results as a whole. Though we still cannot envisage the impact of this algorithm on local businesses and search results, it can prove to be a big push towards more quality driven local SEO practices. How Google Pigeon can affect local business and search results? This algorithm update is more about setting local search engine trends rather than just punishing derogatory local SEO practices. At least in the first week of its release it made us think so. For local business listings fortunately it is going to render some positive effects. Particularly local business directories are going to be benefited most from this algorithm update. - Directories will show up more frequently in search results: Generally search engine results begin with a list of carousel results followed by a list of organic results. Now with these carousel listings various local directories also show up offering more search option for the users. But previously these directories were not regular feature in any search query. Thanks to Google Pigeon it is now going to be more regular with every search. - More niche-wise and location-wise optimised: Though we are not particularly sure on this aspect, it seems Google is gearing to make the search results more optimised by focusing on ‘search within search’ categories. From now on you may expect a slightly amplified focus on niche listings related to your query and more acutely location specific data. Google for quite some time is working to leverage the optimum benefits of location specific search results and this update is a step forward to that goal. - Minimizing difference of search quality among target niches: We have experienced that certain business niches in Google search results enjoy a better optimised local results than others and nobody could expect any explanation except the volume of search queries and business listings playing a role. But now with this new update going deeper into the listings and directories, we can expect a gradual minimizing of the difference in focus among various business niches. - Spam business rankings will be pushed further down: Will they be? And how far? We are still not sure how spam business listings are going to be affected by this new algorithm update. But obviously it is just the initial phase in Google’s committed drive towards making local search more optimised and user specific and a push on the spam local rankings seem imminent after this new update. Though already some changes in the local business listings are showing up, still a lot to analyse and see to come to a verdict on the expanse of effects that Google Pigeon rendered in just one week after the launch. It seems a positive update driven more towards rewarding local directories than punishing derogatory paid ads and spam listings.

When The Ranch Hotel totally mismanaged a social media complaint, it made it into the national news. Read the full story here. But briefly, a customer found maggots on her steak. When she complained, she was given excuses rather than action, so she, quite understandably, published an account on Facebook. She accused The Ranch of deleting her posts and negative comments. [row][column medium=”2″] [/column][column medium=”10″] Social Media Mistake 1: Trying to kill the social media conversation Once a conversation starts you have two options: join in or stay out of it. The option you don’t have is to be seen trying to stifle it. Ms Kim claims the hotel deleted comments and removed its reviews page. Another commenter said they had deleted his comments from Trip Advisor. That only makes the hotel look like they have something to hide. If the story is out there, join in and tell your side. If your customer has a complaint, answer it. [/column][/row] [row][column medium=”2″] [/column][column medium=”10″] Social Media Mistake 2: Not accepting responsibility Your customer has maggots on her steak. The only way that it is not your responsibility is if you are claiming she put them there herself. Otherwise, take the blame. Don’t worry about telling us how good your kitchen is, tell us how you’re going to make it better. And whatever you do, don’t talk about the other 262 steaks served without complaint. That only makes me think of other diners eating steaks without noticing the maggots. Ewwww! [/column][/row] [row][column medium=”2″] [/column][column medium=”10″] Social Media Mistake 3: Not addressing the emotion Speaking of ewwwww, if you see maggots crawling on a steak and it doesn’t gross you out, then something is wrong. There’s no harm in recognising the emotion and empathising with it. The easiest way to get someone on your side is to agree with them. In this case, it seems the lack of empathy may have begun at the initial complaint. From Ms Kim’s Facebook post, it certainly doesn’t appear she was in any way appeased by the hotel’s actions or explanations. [/column][/row] [row][column medium=”2″] [/column][column medium=”10″] Social Media Mistake 4: Not engaging with negative commenters Most of the comments that followed The Ranch’s Facebook post were pretty nasty. Many disagreed with the hotel’s explanation of the source of the problem and offered alternative theories. You can read the full comments here, but the most popular idea was that the kitchen staff had cooked the food and left it sitting around for hours before reheating it. Quite a few went so far as to Google the life cycle of flies and state knowledgeably in that fly eggs take between 8 and 24 hours to hatch. That kind of research shows commitment, especially for a comment on a Facebook post. It’s the sort of effort that should have made it clear to The Ranch how seriously their patrons were taking the incident. Over 100 people commented on their response. Others also took the opportunity to lash out at the hotel on other issues including dirty toilets and rude staff. (Hey, since we’re talking about bad stuff, let’s get it out there.) The Ranch, to date, has met these comment with silence. They’re using the “the best thing to do when you find yourself in a hole is stop digging” approach. What they should be doing is talking to their customers. [/column][/row] [row][column medium=”2″] [/column][column medium=”10″] Social Media Mistake 5: Dismissing the complaint “The Hotel takes all food safety issues very seriously and has conducted a thorough investigation into the matter. Our investigation concluded that the incident was due to blowfly larva laid after the meal was cooked, as it is not possible for lava to survive the cooking process.” What was the thorough investigation? Who conducted it? How did they come to their conclusion? By not elaborating on the process, The Ranch left themselves open to criticism and alternative theories. Recently, Aldi had a couple of maggot incidents, with wrigglies being found by separate customers in their chicken tenders and their beef. On both occasions, they hired an independent entomologist to investigate. Did The Ranch’s “thorough investigation” include having anyone independent look at the steak or review the hotel’s food preparation procedure? How much might an entomologist charge to prepare a report? Several hundred dollars? A thousand? Could it possibly be more than the cost to your reputation of having your name blasted across every news site in Australia? There’s also no mention of change. The reader knows something went wrong, but the hotel is denying that anything went wrong, and they are changing nothing. This leaves the reader with one simple conclusion: “This could happen again – to me.” [/column][/row]

Spending too much time thinking about how to grow your accounting or bookkeeping practice can often get in the way of consistent action. Here’s how to up level your mindset and start doing. No question about it, there’s a lot to think about when transforming your accounting or bookkeeping firm into a lucrative freedom practice. It often feels as though your attention is being divided a million different ways, until you get utterly overwhelmed and are forced to admit that you have no idea what to focus on. It’s only natural to start overthinking everything during this process, but this actually gets in the way of taking action. You want to plan for every possible outcome and minimise your chances of failure, but that’s no good when it stops you from getting started in the first place. At some point, you’ve got to just start. I’m not saying jump in over your head, but there are things that you can do to stop overthinking and start doing. You need to work on your mindset and up level your thoughts if you want to create the freedom practice you’ve always dreamed of, so here are five ways to go about it. 1. Find Your “Who” When I want to up level my practice, the biggest changes come from shifts in my mindset rather than my actions. Often, when you’ve reached a certain point where you’re financially stable and have a decent work-life balance, it can be hard to push yourself to the next level. A fancier car usually isn’t enough motivation to double down on growing your practice. The secret is to stop thinking about WHY and start thinking about WHO. Other than yourself, WHO will be impacted by the growth of your practice? It could be your children, your spouse or your parents. Beyond them, it will be your clients who will then be able to transform their businesses thanks to your services. There’s then a ripple effect that passes onto their clients, and their clients’ clients, and so on… When you realise that there are people out there who truly need your help, it’s much easier to stop over-analysing and take action to start creating change. 2. Surround Yourself with the Right People I really can’t stress this enough. Surrounding yourself with the right people is the number one way to improve your mindset and inspire consistent, effective action. The saying goes that you are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with. Humans are social animals and we are greatly influenced by others around us – more so than we would probably care to admit. I’m speaking from experience here. Back in 2009, I was struggling to grow my practice because I simply wasn’t putting in the work. Every afternoon, I would give into my friends’ cajoling to ditch work and join them for a cup of tea and some trash television. Several nights a week, I would find myself being dragged down the pub, staying out late and then being too tired to work at my best the next day. I’m not blaming my friends – those decisions were all mine. What I am saying is that my social circle certainly wasn’t conducive to my growth, both as a business owner and a human being. I needed a different social circle in which hard work and self-improvement was the norm. After all, I’m willing to bet that Bill Gates’ best friends aren’t found drinking the bar dry every night. I joined a group coaching program and quickly found that a new standard was set for me. I was connecting with different people who were further ahead on their journey than I was and who set an example for me. I suddenly found myself working twice as hard as everybody else. Many studies on birth order have found that the youngest sibling in the family tends to be the most confident. It makes sense; they have older children to show them the way and so they don’t spend their lives figuring everything out from scratch. They simply take action. Of course, the chances are that you don’t have older siblings in the same profession as you. Instead, you need a mentor and a strong group of peers to support you and raise the bar. Group programs aren’t just about the expert in change. There’s a tremendous amount of value in simply connecting with others on the same journey as you. 3. Audit Your Time Plotting, planning and overthinking leads to a lot of wasted time. If you feel as though there just aren’t enough hours in the day to grow your accounting or bookkeeping practice, you need to audit your time. Over the next fortnight, set a timer for thirty minutes from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to bed. Every time the timer buzzes, write down what you did for the past half an hour. You need to get a clear picture of what it is exactly that you do during your working hours, personal time and even your weekends. The results of this time audit may surprise you, and they will certainly give you actionable data that will allow you to make some necessary changes. It could be that you’re spending too much time on your phone every evening, that you’re stressed because you’re not prioritising self-care or that you’re distracted because you feel disconnected from your family. Whatever it is, performing a time audit will illuminate the next steps you need to take to stop overthinking and up level your mindset in order to create change. 4. Content Repurposing One of the key ways to grow your accounting or bookkeeping practice is through content marketing. The problem is that creating content takes up a lot of time… or so you’ve been led to believe. In reality, when you know how to outsource appropriately, you only need to spend 30 minutes to one hour per week creating content as a practice owner. I show up and post content every single day. However, everything I do comes from my live videos. I go live four mornings a week from 5-15 minutes at a time. I simply show up and answer a question or address a pain point that I know accountants and bookkeepers are struggling with. My team then takes these pieces of content and turns them into Facebook posts, LinkedIn updates, Instagram tiles and blog posts. All of the content still comes from me and contains my unique expertise, but I don’t spend hours each day creating it myself. By creating a system like this, you can stay front of mind and position yourself as an authority in your chosen hunting niche, without neglecting the rest of your practice. This is also why I created The Content Lounge. Members enjoy access to social media posts, blogs, eBooks and more that they can use to dominate their chosen hunting niche without hiring an expensive in-house copywriter. 5. Narrow Your Focus It’s easy to fall into the trap of overthinking when you’re trying to handle every single aspect of your business by yourself. In order to grow a successful accounting or bookkeeping practice, you need to learn to outsource and delegate certain tasks so that you can focus on what you’re best at. As a practice owner, you need to prioritise client generation and providing top-level service. Write a list of all of the tasks within your practice and assign a value to each one. Compare each task against the value of your own time. This gives you a clear picture of which tasks you need to outsource, and which require your specific expertise. The DIY approach can only take you so far. Your time is a valuable resource that you need to invest wisely. A big part of being a successful practice owner is the ability to delegate so that you can use your time in the most lucrative way possible. Conclusion When taking your accounting or bookkeeping practice to the next level, you must first up-level your mindset. In order to be a freedom practice owner, you first need to think like one. By getting laser focused and surrounding yourself with the right people, you will find it much easier to step up and take effective action to grow your practice. The truth is, nobody ever went anywhere by overthinking, so instead employ the above strategies to start taking consistent and impactful action.

I want to include gems in settings on my enamel cloisonne pieces- fine silver bezels on fine silver backing. Problem is- how to attach the bezel. I fire the enamels at up to 1480F. Regular easy to hard solder won’t stand up to that (that is my understanding.) I’ve used eutectic solder for jump rings and ear wires and that seems to hold up in the kiln. Anyone have any other suggestions and is it possible to fuse the bezel to the pendant- that would be the cleanest? If so - has anyone one had success in doing so? Use tightly fitted bezels and use a minimum amount of hard solder, or better yet, I.T. solder if you can find it. When soldering, keep the heat there a bit to keep the solder melted a bit longer. The solder will slightly dissipate into the silver just enough to reduce the degree to which it will repeat. Even if it tries to melt while firing the enamel, you should find the bezels staying put, since likely, not all of that solder will still melt. If you used I.T. solder, its likely that it won’t melt a second time. Hi Peter, regular solder reacts with the enamels, it won’t work in this application- and that is why I use eutectic silver solder that contains no zinc to attach ear wires before enameling- not easy to work with but does the job. I can try a bit of the eutectic to solder the bezels in place- I will give it a try. I am far from an expert so I’m sure others have thoughts. In my experience either fusing (fine gold/silver) or using IT solder should solve your challenge. I think IT solder is not alloyed like others it is very close to mother metal in terms of purity I don’t think it contains zinc but I’m not 100%. I’m sure someone out there has a recipe for a zincless IT solder? Halsted claims " The flow temperature of this solder is 1490F. IT Silver Solder contains silver (80%), copper (18%) and zinc (2%)" Seems like a minimal amount of zinc. This is 10 degrees higher than you are using in the kiln. I have not had a problem with IT even with opalescent and transparent. Not sure of the composition of my IT solder had it for 20+ years. Peter, I have seen a few references to I. T. solder. I have researched to find out what is meant. What is I. T. solder, why should it be preferred over others? Where is it available? From Beth Katz in 2008: It is not common practice to use this Intense Temperature as a name for the 80% silver formula for the solder as “IT” is much easier and faster. The periods after both letters have been dropped in common usage. The solder itself is composed of 80% silver and other part (20%) of the formula is made of other ingredients". Please note that the “other part” of the solder does contain zinc, which is why this formula (IT) should not be used when the intent of your project is to use vitreous enamel over that particular spot to which IT solder has been flowed. The zinc does not allow the enamel to adhere properly; there is a chemical reaction which makes the enamel bubble, chip or flake. This reaction may not happen in the immediate time frame, but will more than likely happen in the future, so it is prudent not to use IT for that particular application. IT solder, can however, be used safely for the attachments of findings before enameling is to take place and where enamel application will not directly be touched by the enamel. IT solder melts at 1345 F and flows at 1490 F. When enameling over any join that you wish to hide, please elect to use the Eutectic formula which contains only silver and copper as the metals. The Eutectic melts and flows at 1435 F. For silver solder there is It (Intense temperature), melting point 1490 degrees F., Hard, 1425 degrees F., Medium, 1390 degrees F., Easy, 1325 degrees F., and Easy-flo, 1270 degrees F. There is also Eutectic solder that does not have a problem with vitreous enamel and melts at 1435 degrees F. I will modify Peter’s suggestion of using IT solder and try Eutectic Solder for my pieces and then keep the enamel firings on the low end of temperature. I will also try isolating sterling designs and bezels on fine silver sheets that are fused to the main body of the piece- I think both of these techniques will allow me to add soldered elements to my pieces without running into problems with the enamel. Instead of silver hard solder or IT solder, if the base plate and bezel are made of fine silver, you can solder the two parts with sterling silver or silver 925/000. The soldering or working temperature of these alloys is over 900 degrees Celsius. You can use niormal flux for soldering. These procedre I use since more than 50 years. Edmund If you are using fine silver for your backings, then you could fuse a fine silver bezel to the back before enameling. You won’t have to worry about any solder and you will have a seamless join. I fuse fine silver for bezels, jumprings and links for chains. If done correctly, there is no indication of a join and no solder to worry about. Both sides of the seam need to be heated evenly so one side doesn’t melt before fusing. Since I usually use sterling for backplates with fine silver, I solder the bezel to the backplate. You can try to fuse the bezel to the backplate too with just a torch but if the two metals are different thicknesses or sizes, the thinner one may melt before fully fusing. The thicker bottom backplate needs to be heated underneath first. Then add heat to the top. You may need to use two torches for better heat control, one on top/one on the bottom to get the metals to fuse well without melting. If you use a kiln for enameling, you can work like with granulation - heating the metals in the kiln until they glow red and then concentrating the torch on the seam until the bezel fuses with the backplate. This is a more consistent heat source if you don’t have a second torch or another set of hands to help. Before starting, be sure your metals are all cleaned well, free of oils on the fusing surfaces. A light sanding or cleaning with wet pumice powder works well. When fusing granulation, the back is coated with yellow ochre to prevent the bottom from overheating and melting. If you have a similar product used in enameling, that may work too. Fusing the bezels closed is the easier part, getting them fused to the backplate will need some work. You could definitely do it, it will just take a little practice to see what method works best.

The Life of a Wandering College Student (Part 2) by, 12-31-2016 at 11:43 AM (275 Views) by life and what it throws at us, it is still possible to achieve what we want, we just have to want it bad enough. Second, I guess I should have to report how my kiddos are doing. Well, Peanut (my 7ish year old cat) is not very fond of her new roommate, Princess (a 1.5ish year old cat). At first, Peanut just hid in a corner under an end-table and refused to move except for food, water, and a trip to the litter box. There have been some issues that I can only think to relate to stress. The most concerning of which is finding tiny spots of blood about the room. The occurrence of this has begun to lessen now and I have managed to find a probiotic for her as well to help with her very loose stool. She as also begun randomly exploring the room we are staying in and coming out for cuddles throughout the day. She has even started approaching Princess or allowing Princess to approach her. Now, if only I could get Princess to stop randomly chasing and smacking my cat (an attempt to get the older cat to play, no doubt, but it still upsets my little one). Toshi, the 2-year-old turtle, had some issues upon arriving at his new home as well. Again, I can only assume to attribute it to stress. When we first arrived, is shell looked terrible (for those of you who may not already know, I have been trying to battle a slight case of possible shell rot for a couple of months now). I feared that he was going to loose a number of scutes prematurely. However, with careful observances and a change of water every two days or so (as I'm keeping his water level low for now so that I can better keep it clean and healthy for him) he has come to look much better. Though, I suspect he has lost some scutes, it does not appear to be premature. The hardest part is keeping him warm enough when I have to dry-dock him for intermittently since the windows in this apartment are not energy efficient and let in the cold air and the only place I can put his tank is near that window... My roommate and I are getting along well, which I'm not that surprised of. And my old Walmart finally accepted my transfer so I am finally working again, which takes a bit of stress off of me since bills are coming closer to being due again. Eventually, I will attempt to apply for food stamps like my roommate to better help with groceries. My roommate and I have also been talking about all the wonderful places we can go that are nearby for some mini-vacations. Things seem to be going quite well and I'm very excited for school to start again.

Why is my dog trying to bury his poop? Dogs have glands in their paws that release pheromones that trigger social interaction with other dogs. These pheromones from dogs‘ feet last longer than the scent of urine or feces, making them more effective as a communication tool. Do dogs poop in the snow? Elimination problems when there is snow are common, especially for dogs who have never been in snow and for small dogs who struggle with cold to any degree. There are likely at least two reasons why dogs show a reluctance to go poop when snow covers the ground. Why does my dog cover her pee with snow? Protection against predators is a very strong natural instinct. Dogs follow in the steps of their ancestors by covering up their waste in leaves, sticks, soil, or other natural materials. … To put it simply, your dog covers his pee because he wants to cover his tracks, but at the same time, he wants to enhance them. Why does my dog try to bury my baby? The Root of the Behavior Animal behaviorists often refer to this as “caching” and it is a common behavior among predators. In the wild, a dog’s ancestor may have ended up with more food than it could eat at that time so it would bury it to prevent other scavengers from stealing it. Why do dogs cover things up? Often, when a dog covers things, it is a sign that he is healthy and still has good instincts. This is not just restricted to food. When your dog covers his toys, this still points at the protective instinct that causes all dogs to hide their treasure. Is it OK to walk dogs in the snow? The RSPCA advises: “You may not feel like going for a walk in winter, but the exercise will keep your pet happy and healthy. You and your dog should wear reflective clothing to ensure you’re both visible. … Also watch out for your dogs‘ paws becoming impacted with snow, which can cause discomfort.” Do dogs get cold in the snow? Do Dogs Get Cold in Winter? Yes, dogs do get cold in winter. Like humans, dogs are also susceptible to hypothermia and frostbite. Indoor dogs also require special care in winter. How long can a dog hold its poop? 8 hoursMost. Why do dogs turn in circles before they pee? Why dogs circle before urinating. Dogs might go around in circles prior to eliminating as a means of getting their digestive systems ready for the task — waking them up. … Furthermore, dog feet are equipped with handy scent glands. They employ these glands for labeling their turf. Why do dogs try to hide their scent? Many believe it’s instinctual behavior, harkening back to the days when your dog’s wild ancestors would mask their scent to help them sneak up on their prey. Wolves, for example, have been observed rolling in animal carcasses or the droppings of plant-eating animals, to cover up their own smell during the hunt. Why do dogs kick the ground after peeing? By nature, and in the wild, canines are territorial. Marking an area with scents from urine, feces and their paws sends the message to other canines that this is their territory. … When a dog kicks the ground after defecating, they are releasing pheromones onto the ground.

“, Shirley Chisholm, Jeanette Gadson, Barbara Smith Boyd and Tohma Faulkner. And I come in the spirit of Madam C.J. Walker. I come to declare my candidacy for the 41st Council District in Brooklyn.” Mrs. Kinard’s biography at, reveals a self-starting, community-spirited person who is best-known for both her work in the Natural is Beautiful movement, where she was a national voice for the natural hair care industry – It was her work and advocacy which led to the New York State law governing the natural hair care license, the first in the nation— and as a performer with the world renown a capella ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock. “My life’s work as a parent, author, performing artist, business owner, cultural custodian and minister, has developed the leadership skills required to do the job of a city councilperson,” said Ms. Kinard. In her supporting remarks, Esmeralda Simmons commented on the state of the schools in the district, saying “There is not a single high school in the 41st district, and there has been an increase in the high school dropout rate in the district,” as well. Speaking on education issues, Ms. Kinard insisted that “It’s criminal that we don’t have a Black curriculum set in place in the schools. I believe there is a relationship between cultural values, low self-esteem and the level of gang violence permeating our community.” The violence is so pervasive says Kinard, that both seniors and young people speak of safety as a primary concern. “Much of the violence is created by a troubled youth population, many of whom have dropped out of school because they’ve lost all hope in a system that promises them an education but does not work,” adding that parents should “have a say in the education of their children,” and that schools should be open longer. Saying her goal as Councilperson would be “to educate, employ and empower,” Mrs. Kinard stressed the importance for “our community to go green as an environmental and developmental strategy,” particularly in light of the financial stimulus package of Barack Obama. After recently attending a Washington, D.C. conference on the environment, Mrs. Kinard said she came away realizing that “Our community is far behind in preparing for the jobs and business opportunities that are coming forward in the next few years,” and she says she intends to “bring greater public awareness about the new green economy.” Mrs. Kinard was standing in front of City Hall with a group of supporters that included her husband, educator and Our Time Press columnist Stanley Kinard, Assemblywoman Inez Barron and her husband Councilman Charles Barron, Attorney Michael Tariq Warren, Esmeralda Simmons, Director Center for Law and Social Justice at Medgar Evers College; A.T. Mitchell, of Hip Hop SUV; Reverend Conrad Tillard, Nazerene Congressional Church, Joy Simmons, and Brenda Walker, Co-Founders of Operation Power; and others. The current officeholder in the 41st Council District, is Darlene Mealy who sits on the following Committees: Civil Rights, Immigration, Juvenile Justice, Small Business, Transportation, Women’s Issues and Youth Services. The District covers parts of Bedford Stuyvesant, Ocean Hill-Brownsville and East Flatbush.

colleagues,My name is George Sen. I am a member of a team of inventors-enthusiasts. Please have a look at the link... To F6FLT.--------------You greatly surprise me, my friend! You are an expert in mechanics as well as in electric engineering! (And may be in any other field of technology?)You have written: " You have simply forgotten the oxidation-reduction potentials! The potential difference that will result in heating is therefore less than the one used. This means in other words that even for the same current, the energy used for producing hydrogen is not used to heat." There is no sense in this composition of words. This is for example something like the following sentence: " The Moon is black and it walks around the green tree." Grammatically correct, but absurd. We are very impressed by the power of your argument: nothing on the subject, only an ad hominem answer. Not only did you not understand the objection, but you did not even understand that you did not understand your subject.I am not an "expert". These things are studied in junior high school, with water electrolysis. Even undergraduate students know this. There is no need to be an expert to see the absurdities of your proposals. This kind of idea seems good to unskilled people, because they don't see what prevents it to work, it's a matter of ignorance. Your announcements of perpetual motion are childish non senses above all pretentious, and I said why: the oxidation-reduction potentials reduce the effective potential difference really used for heating, skilled people will understand. An experimenter can check it by measuring the potential difference with each electrode of the voltmeter placed in the solution near each electrode powering the solution, but without touching them.I'll change my mind about the vacuousness of your pseudo-inventions when you present us with a working realization from you, and measurements, rather than gibberish. @ F6fltYes there is plenty of pseudo science on this board and some good science as well.But , the tone of your comments are ..... insulting, rude, totally unnecessary and unwelcome. We have had plenty of these kinds of disrupting comments over the course of the boardsexistence. It doesn't help any thing. It only impedes the spirit of exploration and learning.1.

What We’re Doing WHAT WE’RE DOING Collaborating to fulfill the need on the Eastside for a cultural heart that transforms our community. Achieving the aspiration to transform the community takes more than simply a building, though that is essential. Importantly different experiences will be possible when its four gathering spaces – one of which will seat 2,000 – begin hosting events. What will make the biggest difference to our community’s quality of life will be our building an institution that is worthy of investment, that is designed and built to function in creativity, responsiveness, and excellence for many years to come. Between now and when the facility opens, PACE will begin to distinguish itself by providing arts education across multiple disciplines; a variety of quality artistic and entertainment experiences including traditional, fun, relevant, creative, and cutting-edge; and leadership as an umbrella arts organization helping smaller arts groups thrive. The physical “Cultural Hub” will be located on the corner of 106th and 10th in downtown Bellevue on land donated to PACE by Kemper and Betty Freeman/The Freeman Family for this purpose. The lively community center will be open day and night serving as an integral contributor to the dynamism of downtown Bellevue. WHY NOW? One of the many truths brought to light by the global pandemic is how much we gain from communal experiences. We are all missing the opportunity to enjoy the full spectrum of arts, sports, and other entertainments best enjoyed with others. These magnetic events – and the facilities that make them possible – are the sites of some of our fondest memories. Fortunately, community members’ prior investments in PACE create an unusual opportunity to launch future efforts on a solid platform. Many of the most difficult engineering and architectural challenges have been solved but the not-quite-complete status of the plans enables PACE to incorporate changes called for by what we’ve learned from this pandemic. But even before this, extensive research revealed Eastsiders’ strongly stated desire to be able pull together as a community, to celebrate, learn, and to be entertained in a new place and in a variety of ways, including new programming tailored to our diverse audience. Perhaps the strongest answer to “Why Now?” is that the choice to look ahead, to invest and to rally together to build our own distinctive gathering place is a bold act of optimism and faith. It’s a way that Bellevue and the Eastside can continue to lead, by charting a path that draws people together to explore and celebrate our humanity through the performing and presenting arts. THE EXPERIENCE Our programming will demonstrate the energy, innovative spirit, and cultural diversity of the Eastside and the Pacific Northwest. As well as offering a venue for established and traditional performing arts group’s programming, PACE’s venues will provide opportunities for emerging artists and smaller arts groups to create and deliver new experiences for tomorrow’s audiences. THE BUILDING The building’s design is incredibly efficient, packing quite a bit of usable space within a tight footprint, wrapped in architecture that doesn’t draw attention to itself. Five venues within the building will host a variety of types of performances and presentations and the multi-story digitally-programmable wall will, in its own way, “perform.”

How to speed up an Android smartphone or tablet? The presence of powerful “iron” does not always mean the quick operation of the device. In some cases, optimization leaves much to be desired and the user can try to speed up the work of their smartphone or tablet on their own. There are several methods that can help in the implementation of the task. About these methods – in our article. Remove all unnecessary applications There are applications that can use extra resources. If these applications are not used, it is worth uninstalling them.. This includes, but is not limited to, applications that are installed on the smartphone upon purchase. Some of them cannot be deleted, they are built into the firmware, others, if you do not need them, it is better to delete. Do not use live wallpaper Strange as it may seem, live wallpapers require additional resources. Of course, they look beautiful and pleasing to the eye, but if you need speed, you still need to say goodbye to them. Do not use third-party launchers Third-party launchers are also not recommended, as they can reduce the speed of the system. However, there are exceptions when a third-party launcher works faster than native firmware. However, this is the exception.. Do not use additional widgets About the same thing can be said about widgets that can be placed in abundance on the desktop. Try to leave only those widgets that you really cannot do without, for example, a clock or a weather forecast. Other widgets should be removed from the desktop, as they may “eat up” the memory a little, but. Disable unnecessary applications There are applications that run in the background, but the need for them is rare. In this case, we are talking about third-party applications, not system ones, which are not recommended to be disabled, as this can lead to a system crash. Disabling the application is simple. Go to the settings, find the section with applications, select the application you need, go into it and click “Stop”. Turn off GPS and geolocation Geolocation settings are very important, but they can only be used when necessary.. This, by the way, will help, among other things, increase the autonomy of the device. Clean up using third-party apps Do not forget to delete the cache and other temporary data, which can also affect the speed of the system. As a rule, these are third-party applications like Clean Master, which allow you to delete temporary files, but on some devices they are already embedded in the firmware. Use GPU Acceleration Go to the menu, find the section “For Developers” or “Developer Options”. If you don’t see such a section at home, you need to enable it. Find the section “About phone”, “About tablet” or “About device”, go into it and click on “Build number” 7 times (sometimes you need to press a little more times, the system will tell you about it). In the developer options, enable forced processing of the GPU (hardware acceleration 2D in applications). At the same time, you can turn off the animation. Find items like “Window animation scale”. Turn off the animation. Just be careful when editing the parameters, some of them can lead to problems in the system. Update firmware Sometimes performance problems are associated with the firmware itself, which are solved by updating this firmware. Therefore (and not only) it is so important to update the software of your smartphone or tablet in time. Do you have any ideas other than ours? We will be glad if you tell us about them using the comments on the article..

Preview MIDPOINT THEOREM is used to find specific information regarding length of sides of the triangle. it states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoint of those sides is parallel to the third side and is the length of the third side. florianmanteyw and 5 more users found this answer helpful. heart outlined A midpoint is a point on a line segment equally distant from the two endpoints. The Midpoint Theorem is used to make a bold statement regarding triangle sides and their lengths Using the Midpoint Theorem, which characteristics do we know about the lengths of sides in a given triangle? The third side is twice the length of the line segment that connects at the midpoints of.. The theory of midpoint theorem is used in coordinate geometry stating that the midpoint of the line segment is an average of the endpoints. Both the 'x' and the 'y' coordinates must be known for solving an equation using this theorem. The Mid- Point Theorem is also useful in the fields of calculus and algebra. Applies the fundamenta An important application of the C.L.T. is proving asymptotic normality of regular maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs). This is a huge result and formed the backbone of inference for generalized linear models, as well as many other models, for decades.

Theorem 4: MIDLINE THEOREM: The median of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases and its measure is one-half the sum of the measures of the bases Trigonometric Functions in Real Life - Trigonometric Functions - With this book, youll discover the link between abstract concepts and their real-world applications and build confidence as your skills improve. Along the way, youll get plenty of practice, from fully guided examples to independent end-of-chapter drills and test-like samples As we will see in the exercises of this section, there are numerous applications of the theorem in real life. In addition, the theorem has uses in advanced mathematics as well (vectorial analysis, functional analysis) Recall that the equation for a cosine function is y = Acos(w(x − h)) + k where A changes the amplitude (the distance between the midpoint and the peak or valley of the graph), h changes the start of a phase (the movement of the graph left and right on the axes), k changes the midline, and w changes the period from the basic function, which occurs between 0 and 2π Use properties to find measures of angles, sides and other quantities involving parallelograms Prove theorems on different kinds of parallelograms.

In calculus we have learnt that when y is the function of x , the derivative of y with respect to x i.e dy/dx measures rate of change in y with respect to x .Geometrically , the derivatives is the slope of curve at a. Midline in Trapezoid. In a trapezoid, a midline (or a midsegment) is the line joining the midpoints of the sides.. In a trapezoid, the midline is parallel to the bases and its length is half their sum. Conversely, the line joining points on the two sides of a rapezoid, parallel to its bases and half as long is their sum is the midline. EVT has many applications in the real world, especially in business, where the making the right decision in the right degree is absolutely crucial to maximizing profit. Extreme value theorem can help to calculate the maximum and minimum prices that a business should charge for its goods and services Thanks to the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, you can easily calculate it. You know all this: OT T R = EU ER O T T R = E U E R. 6 15 = x 10 6 15 = x 10. All you have to do is solve the proportions. You can use cross-multiplying and division, or you can multiply both sides times 10 to isolate x x. Cross-multiplying and division: 6 × 10 15 = x. AA Theorem As we saw with the AA similarity postulate, it's not necessary for us to check every single angle and side in order to tell if two triangles are similar. Thanks to the triangle sum theorem, all we have to show is that two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle to show similar triangles Calculus,. By the end of the 17th century, both Leibniz and Newton claimed that the other had stolen his. Academia.edu is a platform for academics to share research papers In geometry, an altitude of a triangle is a line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to (i.e., forming a right angle with) a line containing the base (the side opposite the vertex). This line containing the opposite side is called the extended base of the altitude. The intersection of the extended base and the altitude is called the foot of the altitude SHEAR AND TORSION David Roylance Department of Materials Science and Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA 02139 June 23, 200 d = 40 ≈ 6.32. This method can be used to determine the distance between any two points in a coordinate plane and is summarized in the distance formula. d = ( x 2 − x 1) 2 + ( y 2 − y 1) 2. The point that is at the same distance from two points A (x 1, y 1) and B (x 2, y 2) on a line is called the midpoint. You calculate the midpoint.

It is also sometimes called the Pythagorean Theorem. The formula and proof of this theorem are explained here with examples. Pythagoras theorem is basically used to find the length of an unknown side and angle of a triangle Euclid's Algorithm. Euclid's algorithm is a famous procedure for finding the gcd, i.e., greatest common divisor (factor) of two integers. The idea is pretty simple. If N = M×s, with N, M, s, positive integers, then any divisor of M is also a divisor of N, making M their greatest common divisor:. If N = M×s then M = gcd(N, M). when N = M×s + R (where all four are positive integers), then. FUNDAMENTALS OF LINEAR ALGEBRA James B.

We are going to spend the next several weeks looking at the six phases that make up the Authentic Hope Process for healing from betrayal trauma. This week and next we are going to focus on phase one: the devastation phase. In the devastation phase, betrayed partners typically are asking two burning questions: “What is happening to me?” and,” What do I do?” These aren’t the only questions posed by betrayed partners, but they are without doubt the two biggies. This post focuses on the first question: “What is happening to me?” Learning about betrayal shatters your world. In a single moment, everything you thought you knew and could count on changes. The person closest to you switches from being your deepest source of safety and connection to a wellspring of pain, fear, and emotional danger. In the aftermath of betrayal, you are likely to experience at least a few (and probably all) of the following hallmarks of devastation: - High levels of anxiety, fear, anger, confusion, and pain. - Reduced functioning. Inability to focus or concentrate. - Loss of security and safety in the relationship. - Feelings of shame, self-blame, isolation, and grief. - Trauma symptoms and coping behaviors begin to manifest. - Desperate searching for helpful information. - Intense need for relief from emotional pain. - Deep mistrust of spouse, others, Higher Power, and self. - Burning need/desire to know the full scope of the betrayal. Betrayal immediately alters your reality, sweeping away everything you thought you knew and understood about your partner and your relationship, replacing that with confusion, uncertainty, and chaos. In this chaos, a natural and primary way to feel like you are regaining some control is to try to fully understand what is happening. To this end, betrayed partners become amazing researchers. Motivated by their desire to make sense of the unfathomable they become Google masters, gathering and reading information about infidelity, sexual addiction, relationship issues, betrayal trauma, and more, all in an attempt to understand their new reality. The instinctual need for information that drives you to the computer is a wise coping mechanism. When we experience trauma, the events and emotions feel uncontained and overwhelming. This seeking of information is a way to try to contain your experience. When you are provided with language, definitions, and concepts that explain the situation in which you find yourself, you immediately feel better. The words and explanations help you begin to contain your experience. It gives it edges and helps you wrap your mind around what has happened. For betrayed partners in the devastation phase, information is critical. Information about what you are dealing with (there is a difference between infidelity and sexual addiction) and language to help you begin to name and understand your emotional experience are essential to help you move toward healing. This information is what helps you begin the process of understanding and integrating what has happened into the narrative of your life. Next week we are going to focus on the second burning question that partners ask during the devastation phase: What do I.

When the ‘rescuer’ in the drama triangle gets fed up, there are problems ahead 25 May 2021 There is a model of relationships called the ‘drama triangle’, in which individuals move between the role of rescuer, persecutor or victim. In many relationships partners gravitate towards one of these roles - typically rescuer or victim. By rescuer I mean someone who take a lot of responsibility for their partner, who gives them advice and who often adopts a slightly superior position. But the drama triangle isn’t much fun for couples. It’s not that enjoyable feeling like a victim in your relationship, or a rescuer for that matter. Least of all do we want to feel like a persecutor and yet that’s how our partner may sometimes perceive us. The way it often works is that partner A tends to take a lot of responsibility for the relationship and for the other person. Partner B, meanwhile, may often find that life is too much and they can’t cope with all the stresses and so they lean on partner A for support. This is the classic rescuer/victim dynamic. Either of these partners can become the persecutor. For example, when the rescuer feels frustrated and begins to criticise or when the victim gets fed up with feeling controlled and hits back with resentment or withdraws emotionally, leaving the other partner feeling abandoned. Often what brings this kind of couple to therapy is when the rescuer gets fed up with taking so much responsibility for the relationship. Change can also be forced if the victim has had enough with feeling controlled. Relationship therapy is an opportunity for the couple to look at the roles they have unconsciously taken on - roles that may have worked at one stage but have now become rigid and limiting. Part of this may involve looking at how childhood experiences may have contributed to these roles. For example, as psychotherapist Robert Taibbi* points out, the rescuer is often an eldest or only child, or grew up in a chaotic family with few buffers between them and the parents. As a child the rescuer learned that they needed to be ‘good’ and do what others wanted. As a result the rescuer is often disconnected from their own needs and tries to avoid conflict. In couple therapy part of the process may be to help the rescuer realise that he or she does not need to take so much responsibility for the other person. Rescuers tend to think that they must ‘fix’ their partner’s problems, make them happy. As the rescuer allows themselves to not get so involved in their partner’s life, their partner feels less controlled. The rescuer can also begin to express their own needs and wants in a more appropriate way and to allow themselves to feel anger and to see that as an indicator of where their needs or wants are not being met. * Taibbi, Robert (2011), Doing Couple Therapy , Guilford Press, London

Dude. Biden nominates PA Grandma Killer to HHS Pediatrician Richard Levine, the dude in a dress who serves as Secretary of Health for Pennsylvania has been nominated by Team Biden to serve as assistant secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Levine, who insists on going by Rachel, ordered COVID positive seniors into nursing homes which, as it did in New York State, led to deadly results. At the same time he ordered COVID patients into nursing homes, Dick … (can I call him Dick? Or is it too late for that?). Anyroad. … Dick had the presence of mind to remove his own mother from her nursing home to keep her from sharing that fate. Funny how that works. So why would Team Biden select a dude with that kind of track record for death? Because the dude thinks he’s a lady. That’s why. Naturally the Biden sycophants in the media are clapping like seals over the “historic” pick. Calling yourself Rachel and wearing dresses covers a multitude of manslaughter. In his statement, Biden praised Richard’s historic historicness. Biden said of the dude responsible for sending seniors to their death, “She is a historic and deeply qualified choice.” Deeply qualified, don’t you know. Not kinda qualified. Not pretty qualified. Not even plain old qualified. Nope. “Deeply qualified.” A “deeply qualified” physician would know that there are two sexes – male and female – and growing out your hair, wearing dresses and slapping on make-up doesn’t change you from one to the other. A “deeply qualified” physician wouldn’t stick COVID positive patients into nursing homes filled with residents most at risk of contracting COVID. If someone who ordered thousands of seniors to die of COVID in nursing homes is what Joe Biden considers “deeply qualified,” what does that say about Joe Biden’s idea of “Health and Human Services?” This is the problem with choosing cabinet-level positions not based on qualifications, but on Identity Politics. This dude wasn’t chosen because he’s “deeply qualified” to be in charge of “health” or “human services.” His only qualification is giving Joe Biden the chance to say “Look, everyone! I picked a TRANSGENDER!!! I’m historic!!!” I’d love to say that Senate Republicans will shred this dude to ribbons over his grandma-killing policy. But I doubt they will. Senate Republicans are far too worried about how the media will treat them. And heaven forbid they risk being called “transphobic.” (Which, of course, was the claim Levine made when he was attacked for killing so many seniors.) On the plus side, with Levine gone, Pennsylvania’s remaining seniors might make it through the COVID pandemic alive. The future of the rest of the country? Well, let’s just say we’ll be transitioning into something we were never created to “Dude. Biden nominates PA Grandma Killer to HHS” I saw a picture of that freak. It seems to employ the services of the fiend that does Debbie Wasserman Shultz’s hair. They can be co-spokes-creatures for the WD-40 line of hair care products. What on earth does the assistant health secretary do? Make sure that America never runs out of Q-Tips? I don’t think Biden said “deeply qualified”. I think he misread his teleprompter, which said “deeply disturbed”. anybody need any more proof that this administration is on a mission to destroy america? If Senate Republicans go to work on this freak, what are the odds they’ll be labelled “misogynists” as well as transphobic? When I read “manslaughter” I saw “man’s laughter”. I live in PA. When I tell people about this freakshow, nobody can believe that the gov would pick this sick bastard to give medical advice. Why does that mutant from Pennsylvania look like John McCain in drag? Really? He has more of a “Jerry Nadler in a wig” look to me. Calm yourselves! He has cuomo on speed dial if he runs into any problems. Huh. I see Scaramucci in a wig. This administration, with all its Marxist Obama retreads, now including this deranged cross-dressing freak, will be “historic” in the same sense that Caligula Caesar was. I referred to it as “a reject from any John Waters movie you’d like to name.” Once again, being too kind; gotta quit doing that…

- COVID-19 - About - Insights - Programs & Services - Overview - Cost Management - Specialty Management - Care Management - Member Engagement - Health Plan Client Engagement Health care costs are expected to rise next year as plan members face long-term effects of COVID-19 BRIEFING November 30, 2021 Chronic care management is a complex and important priority for payors and plan members. Chronic conditions, when left unchecked and unmanaged – whether for weeks, months, or years – can result in serious illness, hospitalization and death. The financial impact should come as no surprise: Chronic illness, such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes, drives 86 percent of health care costs. The COVID-19 pandemic created new challenges for people with chronic disease Mammograms and pap smears were down nearly 80% from April 2019 to April 2020 Colonoscopies were down almost 90% in April 2020 Many people with chronic conditions deferred or delayed care due to fear of contracting COVID-19 in health care settings. Meanwhile, lockdowns and stay-at-home orders across the United States further limited access to in-person medical care. As a result, studies show significant decreases in cancer screenings, biopsies and surgery during the pandemic, along with drops in preventive services, routine monitoring and treatment of diabetes and hypertension. We’re also seeing people experience long-term COVID-19 effects, including heart problems and breathing issues. Caring for patients with lingering COVID-19 signs and symptoms poses another challenge for the U.S. health system already dealing with the growing burden of chronic disease. The pandemic’s long tail may increase utilization and health care spending for chronic conditions in 2022. We’re expecting chronic disease needs to rise because of the long-term effects of COVID-19. While health care spending in 2020 was lower than expected due to disruptions in routine and nonemergency care at the onset of the pandemic, it’s likely to trend upward in the next year. Employers are well positioned to help fight chronic disease today and moving forward In a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. workers, 60 percent say their leaders are unprepared to support employees with a serious and/or chronic medical condition. Here are some suggestions: CVS Health’s omni-channel approach can help employers and employees better manage and even prevent chronic conditions Care for chronic conditions can be complex, confusing and inconvenient. It involves prescribed medications, lifestyle changes, screenings, and testing and monitoring of specific factors such as blood glucose and blood pressure. This is especially challenging because most people only visit the doctor four times a year, for less than 15 minutes. That’s why increased support and connections are key to fighting chronic disease. And at CVS Health, we’ve built a model that helps close gaps between regular doctors’ visits through local community resources and virtual capabilities. By expanding and enhancing the ways people can engage with CVS pharmacists, MinuteClinic clinicians, or CVS HealthHUBs, our care management and condition management programs provide support that is convenient, caring and connected. While there are still challenges ahead, silver linings have emerged from this public health crisis: First, the pandemic has shed light on the implications of chronic conditions on overall health. Second, we’ve seen more openness around innovation and a willingness to embrace new technology, tools and capabilities. Let’s continue to bridge the gap between addressing chronic conditions and improving health and wellness. BRIEFING November 30, 2021.

Bra types & why your ability to differentiate between them is important You probably have a drawer full of bras, some similar, some different. The bra styles you have in your lingerie drawer may change over the course of your lifetime, potentially due to physical changes to your body type/shape. Have you ever wondered what kind/type of bra is best for you? Knowing your correct bra size or sister sizes can alleviate some of these issues, although -- what about gaping spaces or when your girls just don’t fit quite right? Knowing and understanding the purpose of a bra style will help you find your dream bra! At Pearlle, we focus on comfort for all, tailoring our bra choices to flatter you best. Read on to learn about bra styles!! Bralettes are bras that typically have no wire, form, padding, or shape. They are incredibly comfortable and organically shape to the contours of your body. This style bra can have front, rear, or no closures/clasps, like our JUNE bralette. Generally, people with smaller chest sizes gravitate to this bra as they are no fuss and super comfortable; however, anyone can wear them. They are the perfect Sunday or chill rainy-day bra. This bra style says it all in the name… it covers everything! SO long as you have the right bra size, this cut contains all of you all day long. Full coverage bras will be most supportive for the long day (especially for larger busts). Full and rounded breasts will fit this bra like a dream! Those with more shallow breast types might not fill the entire cup. If you find that this is your issue with full-coverage bras, try out a demi cut bra that will lift and support you better. One of our favorite full coverage bras is VIOLET, trimmed with gorgeous scalloped lace alongside the cups and the band. 3. Full-figured Bras (D/DD) Our Full-figured bras are intended for those who may have just a bit more up top. Pearlle’s full-figured bras are generally also full-coverage (explained below) and contain an underwire for extra support. Some of our favorite FF bras, like LORELAI, feature wide shoulder straps for added comfort. Our bra sizes range from 34D to 44DD!!! Who doesn’t love a little peek-a-book action with their lingerie? These high-neck cuts flatter your decolletage and offer an exciting visual when worn with a low-cut shirt or blazer. Our Halsey Bralette features dainty lace-up to your neck for a soft feminine look. r Our Ashland bra, with its edgy straps, compels a more modern and minimalist design. If you like the idea of corsets but don’t like the fuss, a longline bra is the perfect modern choice. Longline refers to the band of the bra, the part that goes around your torso. They are called longline, bustier, or corset. The cup shape and style can vary from the plunge, demi-cup, or full coverage bra. With a longline bra, the band can extend just around the ribcage or even further down. Longline bras offer more support around the torso, including three or more hook & eye clasps on the band. These bras can be zipped, have front closures, etc. The extended band also offers a smooth look under clothes, perfect for dresses! Rose (one of my favorites!) is a laced longline and is also worn without straps. Are you looking for a smooth bra? Check out all of our longline designs! 6. Push-up Bras Every small busted person’s dream, the mighty push-up! Push-up bras do precisely that. They bring the bust-up and give the appearance of a full cup size, or two, bigger than the natural bust. Pearlle offers many push-ups and even double push up, like Emma and Eva. The magic of a push-up is partly design and mostly the padding in the cup. Ultra-comfortable push-ups have lightweight and soft padding that feels wonderfully comfortable on the body. Push-up bras can have various cup shapes such as plunge, full coverage, or T-shirts. A strapless bra can also be a balconette or even a bra with removable straps. The benefit of a strapless bra is having the support of a bra without any visible supporting straps. Strapless bras can be beneficial when attending a more formal event when you’re wearing a tube-top or when you just don’t want to have any straps showing! Today most strapless bras have adhesive strips or silicone lining to help keep the bra in place while you move and breathe. A strapless bra cup can vary from a plunge, push-up, or half-cup, etc. This term mainly refers to the fact that the bra has no straps or removable straps. 8. T-Shirt/Demi The most purchased bra of all! The T-shirt bra. It is called a “T-shirt” since these bras typically have smooth fabric and give a seamless look under a T-shirt. These bras generally are fully supportive on all sides with moderate coverage. Large pendulous breasts may not fill a whole cup. If this is the case, try a cup size (and adjust your band!) down. These bras are very comfortable and intended for everyday use and wear. A demi is similar to a T-shirt bra with a few variances. First, the cup is partial coverage, similar to a half-cup or a balconette. Second, the wires are wide and evenly “U”-shaped to support the bust for your natural cleavage lift. The overall shape of this bra is slightly rectangular, lacking the plunge and deep “V” like a full coverage or plunge bra. This semi-comprehensive list of our favorite styles can help you find what works best for your body and breast type. With new styles coming out every season (and bodysuits, yay!), you’ll be sure to find a look that’s empowering for you! As always, reach us at support@pearlle.com!! We are always more than happy to get to know you, your thoughts, and to chat about lingerie!! XOXO!

“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired”- Robert Frost In a classroom filled with kids, Avi saw Rasha, a girl with round specs, two black eyes peeping through them, a pug nose and two little ponytails tied on two sides. Avi was a new admission in the midterm. Rasha was one of the good students. The teacher asked her to help Avi. She nodded sweetly and offered him a seat next to her. She was a calm; cute girl and he was notorious. Very soon the friendship blossomed from sharing lunch, notes, and so on. She turned into a chatterbox in his company. Rasha was completely enjoying this transformation. One day, when both were busy talking, the teacher called out, “Avi, please stop talking and go out of the class.” “ You need to write- I am sorry, I will not talk in the class 100 times and bring it to me in the lunch break.”, said the teacher to Avi who was standing outside the class. As the bell rang, Avi started writing. Rasha came and snatched the pencil from his hand, wrote the sentence 75 times in a blink of an eye and handed over to him and said, “Finish and show it to Ma’am. Come for lunch I am hungry”. He smiled and lost his little heart to his friend. Rasha did not attend school for a week due to fever. Avi left the school as his father was once again transferred to another city. His father had a transferable job, and this always affected Avi’s life. But, this time two hearts and lives were affected. Unaware, Rasha and Avi left a piece of their heart in each other. Rasha turned into an introvert again and Avi somewhere kept searching for those innocent eyes. *** Seven years passed. Rasha and Avi were living different lives, in different cities. Rasha was pursuing MBA from a reputed college. She was from a humble background, but that never showed in her personality. She was extremely intelligent and a superb dancer along with a pleasing personality. She easily befriended the elite girl’s squad in the college. One day, the girl squad was discussing their boyfriends. Rasha did not have the privilege to think about boyfriends as she had a lot of responsibilities to fulfill. Suddenly one of her friends asked, “You do not have a boyfriend, right?”. “Avi, he is tall, dark, and charming”, pat came the reply from Rasha. The only boyfriend she remembered all these years. She was surprised by her own answer. For a moment she thought to herself, what would happen if ever Avi comes to know about the lie she is living in, just to overcome her inferiority complex. On the last day of College, everyone decided to go to the cybercafe and create profiles on Orkut. It will help them stay connected, someone said, deep inside her heart Rasha so wished would find Avi. Rasha could not control herself from going to the cybercafe the very next day, her heart started racing when she saw a message from Avi. It read, “Ek bar bhebe chhilam tomae khuje nebo” (I always knew I would find you one day). She left her email id in the inbox and asked him to email. This was when mobile phones were a luxury. Next day, when she opened her email, there was a long email, the emotions in the form of words, her eyes melting, her cheeks were hot, was it a dream she thought. He had requested her to meet once. They agreed to meet in a book fair. Wearing a pink coloured salwar kameez, open hair, and small bindi, Rasha looked graceful like a woman, but her face was so childish that clearly the world had left no impression there. Avi arrived and looking at her he said, “You still look the same my chashmish (spectacled)”. She was about to say something, then her girl squad appeared out of nowhere. “Oho! Hello, so you are Avi, Rasha has told so much about you, when did you return from the UK?” “Both of you look so perfect”. The comments were endless. Baffled, Avi looked at Rasha. Rasha jumped in between the conversation and said, “Avi, these are my batchmates and they know everything about us”. “Hmm, everything. Wow”, said Avi with a wink. The unison of two childhood sweethearts could not be completed. The currents of untold feelings remained confined inside the walls of their heart. Avi had to leave for Delhi due to his new job. He promised that they will meet once he is back. Soon Rasha started working with a Bank. Her financial independence gave her immense strength. She wanted to fulfill all wishes of her Maa and sister. Her diligence and hard work impressed everyone in the office. One day, when she was busy attending to a huge queue of customers, a customer came running from behind. Rasha shouted, “Sir, please be in line, wait for your turn”. “Madam, Avi Sir has sent this bouquet and gift for you. Happy Birthday Madam”. The whole office sang in chorus, “Happy Birthday, Madam”. Her lips were sealed but she was smiling through her eyes. For a moment she wished to leave everything and open her gift from her lover like a teenage college-going girl. But then she tried to remain calm and composed. After business hours, she rushed to the pantry to open her gift. It was a mobile phone, white Micromax Bling embedded with diamond in the center. As soon as she switched it on, it rang. She rushed to the washroom. Resting her back on the wall, taking a deep breath, with a lump in her throat, she answered the call, “Ki chao?” (what do you want). She heard him sing, “O Janeja, dono jahan, meri bahon me a bhool ja, Baby I love you, Baby I love you”. Silent sighs, music of heartbeats, salty pearls of pure bliss dropping from her eyes said, “I love you too”. Since then, there were endless phone calls throughout the day, she used to talk to him holding her phone between her ear and shoulder. The talks and ear to ear smile made her jaws pain but the pain was beautiful. The lie she had lived for years had come true in the form of a beautiful dream. *** Avi asked her for marriage. Rasha accepted it, on one condition that she would continue to work post-marriage. She was the breadwinner for her family, her father never fulfilled his responsibilities. She had to take care of her Maa and little sister. While walking towards the bus stand, hand in hand, they talked about their wedding, room decors, the colour of the curtains, beige and white, turquoise, and golden cushions, cappuccino coloured cushioned king-size bed, crape jasmine tree peeping through a window intruding through their privacy, babies and their names. “Beep, Beep”, the bus horn brought them back to the world of reality. They had already imagined themselves as man and wife that day. When Avi informed his parents about this condition, they were a bit apprehensive. On learning this, Rasha requested Avi to end this relationship on a happy note. “Each and every love story may not turn into marriage, my feeling for you is divine”, she said to Avi. Avi’s father was partially blind and his mother had health issues. Rasha requested him to respect their wish. As they hugged each other for the first and last time, there were tunes of melancholy in the breeze and tears fell from the sky. In the rain, hand in hand, they walked through the streets for hours that day. It was a walk to cherish for life. Keeping her own pain aside, Rasha planned a trip to Hrishikesh with family as she had promised to her mother. She planned everything in detail. She planned the entire itinerary, stay, guide, clothes. She bought a pair of new bellies for her mother that would not get spoiled in water. Her mother was elated like a little girl with the thought of going on a trip. After all, in twenty-five years of marriage that lady had never enjoyed herself. Rasha thought of taking her mother to the Doctor for a general check-up before the trip. The Doctor asked for some blood tests to be done. The report had a different story to tell. Rasha’s mother was suffering from a severe blood disorder. The blood platelet count was as low as 15,000 (the normal being 1,50,000). The doctors could not believe how her mother was working normally. May it be her will power. Ten days leave, which she had applied for the trip, was consumed in hospitalization. It was due to her job; she could afford the best hospital for her mother. There was a sudden sign of recovery and then Rasha lost her mother within a fortnight, she lost everything. Her world ceased to exist. She lost herself. She started living as a robot. Everyday going to the office, taking care of home and repeating. Her mother was her only support at home, although she had never shared her pains with her, still talking to her everyday made her feel better. When her mother used to pull her cheeks with hands full of flour, she loved it. She had never imagined her life without her mother. Two years passed and she could not accept the loss. Rasha somehow came out of the trauma. She decided to get married. While she started searching for a partner, similar questions and rejections left her in a state of distress. Adding to her woes, her father met with an accident. He lost his memory. The two siblings somehow managed to bring him back to his current state of life. However, the incidence left some traces of dementia on his mind. She sent her sister for higher studies and once again started her search for a life partner. She was a as giver since childhood. She so wished to break down in someone’s arms. She was tired of being strong. She found Mihir who not only loved her but accepted her with her responsibilities. *** Six years later, in a Durga Puja pandal, Avi saw Rasha. She looked surreal clad in an authentic Lal Paar Saree (Saree with white base and red border) adorning big gold earrings kissing her cheeks, golden bangles tinkling and adding grace to her wrist, a big red Sindoor bindi on her forehead shining like a Sun, a dazzling red pathway of Sindoor running across her long open tresses, her kohl tainted eyes, her lips like rose petals. She was running after her son clad in dhoti kurta, just like Yashoda Maa was trying to catch her little Krishna, it was a sight to behold. The announcement for Pushpanjali was made, everyone gathered inside the pandal. Just behind Rasha, someone raised his hand to ask for flowers. His smell Rasha had never forgotten, it was Avi standing right behind her. Smelling her hair, pretending to take flowers, he said, “Your son is cute”. Closing her eyes, she said, “I know”. Rasha vanished before Avi could see her. *** Rasha reached home, put her son to bed. She opened her closet. There was a beautiful handcrafted diary, wrapped in her mother’s saree. Pressed between the rusted pages of the diary, there was a rose she had treasured from the bouquet Avi had gifted her. It had dried out but smelt the same. Her breath mingled with the fragrance of the dried rose and drove her to the memories galore. She smiled and murmured to herself, “Let us be like this forever, Away, still in love, Painful yet beautiful”! ________________________________ ________________________________ Connect with Penmancy: ________________________________ One thought on “The Essence of Love” An emotional story, no doubt. However I wish there were more dialogues to punctuate the plot . Also a bit telling in the approach. A vivid showing would have added the zing to this wonderful story. But nevertheless a beautiful story. I felt sad when Avi and Rasha reunited in the pandal.

Danny Glover, Sen. Cory Booker Testify in House Hearing on Slavery Reparations Actor Danny Glover and Sen. Cory Booker were among a group of witnesses who testified on Capitol Hill Wednesday in support of a bill that would arrange a commission to help develop a proposal for slavery reparations. The two, alongside writer Ta-Nehisi Coates and others, spoke before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties on what happened to be Juneteenth, a celebratory holiday that marks the day enslaved African Americans in Texas belatedly learned in 1865 that the Civil War had ended and they were free — more than two years after the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. The three-hours-plus hearing centered H.R. 40, a bill looking not to allocate money for reparations, but to build a 13-member commission to “study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery.” Booker, a New Jersey Democrat who is currently running to be the party’s candidate in the 2020 election, called the hearing “important,” “historic,” and “urgent” in his testimony, arguing that African-Americans have been economically disadvantaged for generations because of policies that purposely exclude them and lead to racial wealth gaps and discrepancies in healthcare and the criminal justice system. “It is a cancer on the soul of our country,” Booker, 50, said. “This bill is the beginning of an important process … to find practical ideas to address the enduring injustices in our nation.” Coates, 43, delivered passionate testimony about the long-lasting effects of slavery and its legacy, which includes economic, social and political structural oppression. It was Coates’ 2014 article “The Case for Reparations” that not only rekindled the reparations debate, but cemented the topic as important and worthy of consideration. In the article, Coates noted that government-implemented policies (such as redlining, poll taxes and more) worked to further oppress and disadvantage Black Americans. The piece served as a catalyst for Wednesday’s hearing. “We recognize our lineage as a generational trust, as inheritance, and the real dilemma posed by reparations is just that: a dilemma of inheritance,” Coates said. “It is impossible to imagine America without the inheritance of slavery.” Glover, meanwhile, recalled his family history, explaining he was the great-grandson of a former slave who was freed by the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. The Lethal Weapon star, who briefly worked in city administration before becoming an actor and has long advocated for various causes, also referenced his maternal grandparents, who spent their lives working as tenant farmers and sharecroppers in rural Georgia until they could afford a farm for themselves. RELATED VIDEO: Sen. Cory Booker Announces He’s Running for President in 2020: ‘Together, America, We Will Rise’ “Despite much progress over the centuries, this hearing is another important step in the long and heroic struggle of African-Americans to secure reparations for the damages inflicted by the enslavement and post-emancipation and racial exclusionary policies,” Glover, 72, said. RELATED: Cory Booker Hints at Wedding Bells with Rosario Dawson as She Joins Him for Talk Show Appearance CNN reported that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, 77, said ahead of the hearing that he is opposed to reparations. “I don’t think reparations for something that happened 150 years ago for whom none of us currently living are responsible is a good idea,” the Kentucky Republican told reporters. Booker, meanwhile, reportedly said Wednesday McConnell’s argument contains a “tremendous amount of ignorance.”
