Gatlinburg, Tennessee is a fantastic choice for your next vacation destination. The Gateway to the Smokies is packed with lodging and entertainment opportunities to suit all tastes and budgets. But while Gatlinburg makes a fine hub, don’t forget that East Tennessee has much more to offer than this one tourist hot spot. Try taking a day trip to one of these nearby attractions:
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are such close neighbors that they are often thought of in the same breath. With less than 10 miles of highway separating the two you can easily enjoy all the action packed adventure these cities have to offer. Driving down the main parkway in Pigeon Forge you’ll find a million attractions competing for your attention. Adventure Golf has miniature golf courses, Fast Tracks has go-karting, LaserPort has laser tag, and the niche museums cater to all kinds of eclectic tastes. There’s an Elvis Museum, a Car Museum and a Dinasour Walk Museum. But perhaps the most eye catching attractionof all is WonderWorks the upside “amuesment park for the mind”.
Knoxville is the closest “big” city to Gatlinburg, but expect to find the same southern hospitality that makes all of East Tennessee so charming. A college town, Knoxville is home to the University of Tennessee Volunteers, who have produced such football greats as Reggie White and Peyton Manning. Don your orange apparel (or your own almamatter’s colors) and join the locals in tailgating and cheering the current batch of future hall of famers to victory. After the game you continue your sports themed day trip by visiting the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, home of the largest basketball in the world. And before you leave we highly recommend taking an authentic paddleboat ride down the Tennessee River on the Star of Knoxville Riverboat.
About a three hour drive from Gatlinburg, located on the Georgia/Tennessee boarder, is the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee. And just minutes from downtown Chattanooga is Lookout Mountain a world famous for its rich history and awe-inspiring natural wonders. Start your visit to Lookout Mountain by riding the Incline, the world’s steepest passenger railway. Get a glimps of 7 different states while exploring Rock City with its amazing natural rock formations and panoramic views. Finally tour the caves of the mountain and be amazed by Ruby Falls, a 145 foot waterfall hidded within the mountain. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Samuel Weiss Award for Outstanding Service to ACG
In recognition of more than 30 years of service to the College, his reputation as an expert in pancreatology, and an unwavering dedication to compassion, science and excellence, Peter Banks, MD, MACG, receives the Samuel Weiss Award. This service award in commemoration of ACG’s founding father, Samuel S. Weiss, is presented periodically, and not necessarily annually, to a Fellow of the College in recognition of outstanding career service to ACG.
Dr. Banks is an internationally known icon in gastroenterology with particular expertise in pancreatology. He has served patients and his peers for over 50 years. His ability to teach at all levels of knowledge, including patients, students, trainees and colleagues, knows no limits. Dr. Banks is humble and gracious with his time and efforts.
His research constitutes the basis of his knowledge and his publications speak to his interests and his accomplishments. Of note, now, after five decades of practice, he is the primary investigator for a National Pancreas Foundation grant and co-investigator on two active NIDDK grants.
According to one of his recommenders for the Weiss Award, “Dr. Banks has a national and international reputation not only as an outstanding gastroenterologist, but in particular, his expertise in
IBD and pancreatology is the stuff of which legends are made. He has helped set many of the guidelines for the management of pancreatitis that we currently use today.”
Dr. Banks curriculum vitae reports outstanding accomplishments in academia, community engagement and, most importantly, service to the College. Dr. Banks was elected to the ACG Board of
Governors, and served two terms on the Board of Trustees, 1989 to 1992 and 1995 to 2000. Of his time as a Trustee one ACG Past President commented, “he could be counted on to always think of what was best for the College, during what were two somewhat tumultuous years.”
Other ACG leadership roles for Dr. Banks include service as co-chair of the Research Committee and chair of the Public Relations Committee. He has been a member of the Practice Affairs committee, National Affairs, Patient Care, Practice Parameters, and most recently a member of the Awards Committee. His accomplishments and reputation as a physician of distinction have been recognized by the ACG in its awarding him the Berk-Fise Award in 2015 and the Baker Presidential Lectureship in 1994.
Examples of Dr. Banks’ respect as a leader include his role as Chair of the Digestive Disease National Coalition, and President of both the American Pancreatic Association as well as the International Association of Pancreatology. He was Chairman of the National Patient Education Committee of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, and has had a long tenure on the FDA Drug Advisory Committee.
He has also received four Lifetime Achievement Awards from the American Pancreatic Association, the Digestive Disease National Coalition, the Collaborative Alliance for Pancreatic Education and Research, and the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America. Local awards include the Dr. Jerry S. Trier Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching, Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital. As testimony to the person he is, Dr. Banks also was voted Humanitarian of the Year (1991) by the Greater Boston Chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America. The AGA awarded him its Distinguished Educator Award and Award for Outstanding Achievement in Clinical Gastroenterology.
A Gifted Clinician, Teacher, Researcher and Author
Dr. Banks’ many admirers in the College point to his selflessness and modesty. One wrote, “His scientific expertise is remarkable when coupled with his remarkably affable and humble demeanor which have endeared him to countless students, patients and colleagues.”
Dr. Banks is the epitome of career service and dedication. His willingness to help the membership of the ACG is matched only by his outstanding dedication and exceptional performance as a clinician, teacher, research and author. He fulfills all the attributes recognized by the Samuel Weiss Award by his outstanding and selfless service to the College, and by giving so much of himself to the field he so clearly loves.

When managing asbestos in buildings, surveys play a crucial role in documenting the presence of this hazardous material. Asbestos surveys are performed as part of the documentation process, which is known as the asbestos register. It is a legal requirement to document asbestos found in the workplace, and this documentation needs to be kept for 30 years. The asbestos register is a valuable tool that allows workplaces to effectively manage ACMs in the workplace, meet their legal requirements and avoid legal recourse.
A Closer Look at the Asbestos Building Survey
As the name suggests, a survey or inspection is conducted in the workplace where ACMs have been identified and reported. The asbestos building survey documents these findings very specifically, documenting the exact areas where ACMs are found and the areas where No Asbestos Containing Material (NAD) is found.
For example, an asbestos building survey will document the location of ACMs in a building detailing locations such as ground floor, level 7, Ground Floor bathroom, etc. The asbestos building survey will cross reference these locations with the samples taken, detailing the sample numbers and the type of asbestos identified e.g. Chrysotile.
This can be seen more clearly in the sample asbestos building survey shown below:
As well as the legal compliance aspect, asbestos building surveys are very useful during construction work, providing construction workers with full documentation about the inspected areas. This documentation removes any confusion and expedites the construction process.If you have an area that needs to be inspected, surveyed and documented prior to construction or to comply with legal requirements, please contact us with your questions or to schedule an initial consultation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

While everyone can't stop talking about the Philadelphia Eagles signing Saquon Barkley this offseason, he of course isn't the only former NY Giants star to pull the same move. Not long ago, James Bradberry decided to play for the enemy after he was released by Big Blue.
While Bradberry had a solid first year with the Eagles, things have been going downhill for him of late. He struggled in 2023 and this offseason hasn't been going according to plan. Rumors have been flying that the Eagles could cut him.
However, in a last-ditch effort to try and make things work, Bradberry has been moved to safety to see if he can still compete at a high level. However, that's not looking too promising either for him, as he's dealing with an injury. Could he be on his way out this summer?
James Bradberry moving to safety is pretty eye-opening for the Eagles
Early on in his career, Bradberry was a stud cornerback, turning heads for the Panthers. After four seasons in Carolina, he signed with the Giants and took home Pro Bowl honors in 2020. That season, the veteran DB posted 54 total tackles, 18 pass deflections and three interceptions.
He was also quite strong in 2021, which led to him wanting a handsome new deal from the Giants in 2022. However, Joe Schoen took over as general manager and he decided to save some money by releasing him.
The Eagles ended up signing him to a one-year, $10 million deal. After he played well in '22, the Eagles then re-signed him to a three-year, $38 million contract. However, the first campaign of that new deal didn't turn out the way Bradberry or the Eagles wanted.
Now, Bradberry is trying to stick around with the NFC East powerhouse, but it's not looking too optimistic for him. He and the Eagles coaching staff are hopeful that maybe moving him to safety will benefit the defense, but at this point, it feels like it would be a bit of a surprise if he's kept around once it's time for 53-man roster cuts. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Our sole purpose in writing and publishing these notes has been to provide the reader with a help in better understanding the Word of God, and so put it into practice more fully. They represent many years of hard work. Great care has been taken to try to expound what is in the text of the Bible, and not to present any preconceptions or prejudices we may have.
It is, of course, quite possible that we have not always succeeded in this, and the reader may sometimes find mistakes in matters of fact or errors in the interpretation of a verse or a passage. If these things are pointed out to us, and we are convinced of our error, we will be most happy to correct any such thing in future editions. Truth is what we constantly aim at, and anything less than the truth in our thinking and speaking and writing is unacceptable and painful to us, as it should be to everyone who reads this.
May God alone be praised if those who use our Study Bible come to a better understanding of the truth through it. We are in hearty agreement with the psalmist who wrote, “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and because of your truth” (Ps 115:1). In this we will have our joy and satisfaction. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Hello, fellow golf enthusiasts! I’m Aamir Iqbal, and I warmly welcome you to Golf Course Beast, a culmination of my decade-long passion and affair with the enthralling game of golf.
Picture this: Ten years ago, a slightly younger Aamir picked up a golf club for the first time, fueled more by curiosity than by any grand vision. That seemingly inconspicuous day marked the beginning of a journey filled with fairways, bunkers, birdies, and the occasional misadventures in sand traps. With each swing, each game, each victory, and each lesson, I found not just a sport, but a way of life.
Over the years, I’ve traveled through various golf courses, faced countless challenges, and reveled in the game’s small victories. The whispers of the morning breeze on the green, the exhilarating rush of that perfect swing, the camaraderie among fellow golfers — these are experiences and emotions I wished to share.

So, as you navigate through these pages, you’ll discover not just the golfer in me but the storyteller, the learner, and the friend. Dive in, share, laugh, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll feel the same passion that courses through me every time I’m on the green.
Here’s to the game that binds us all, and here’s to many rounds of golf together. Let’s tee off this journey!

As one of the biggest imperial examination center in ancient China, it was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. At first, it was a venue for the examination at the county and prefectural levels. In 1368, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and made his capital in Nanjing, it became a venue for the examination at the county and provincial levels. In 1421, when Zhu Di, third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved his capital to Beijing, it was taken as the venue for the examination at the county level. Thanks to constant expansion under Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty, it became the biggest venue for examination in China with as many as 20,644 examination rooms. In the Qing Dynasty alone, 58 examinees became No. One Scholars through the county-level examination in the south of the Yangtze River area, accounting for over 50% of all No. One Scholars in China at that time. Such celebrities as Tang Bohu, Zheng Banqiao, Wu Jingzi, Wu Chengen, Fang Bao, Lin Zexu, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and Chen Duxiu were directly associated with Jiangnan Imperial Examination Center.
Nowadays, it chiefly collects and exhibits cultural relics and historical data related to the imperial examination as well as research on the system of the imperial civil examination in China. So far, it has a batch of precious cultural relics such as 23 well-preserved tablets as key cultural relics under provincial protection, epitomizing the cream of the system of the imperial examination in China. Besides, “Mobile Inspection Tour by No. One Scholars”, “Jumping over the Dragon-Gate to Pay Respect to No. One Scholars”, “Simulated County-Level Examination” and photo-taking for tourists in ancient costumes are periodically carried out here.

I have used Newton Garage since 2007 and always had excellent service and advice from Steve and his team. I originally went to them because they were local (half-a-mile) and recommended by a friend. They have since moved to larger better equipped premises, a little less convenient for me personally, but still very local. Costs seem very reasonable, not that I've shopped around, and work has always been completed on time. I'm a very satisfied customer. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In particular, pets acquiring the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin might profit from CoQ10 usage as it may perhaps mitigate the heart toxicity that can come about during procedure with the most cancers drug. CoQ10 is not as commonly used in pets as in people today, but pets getting statin medicine to decrease blood cholesterol or lipid stages should really get the complement to prevent the adverse outcomes commonly observed with statins. Lastly, CoQ10 in pet dogs and cats can also be made use of to cut down higher blood strain as standard supplementation in more mature animals thanks to declining CoQ10 in getting old patients and in pets with any form of immune dysfunction, diabetic issues mellitus, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, myasthenia gravis, and degenerative myelopathy.
CoQ10 supplementation is thought of extremely protected in dogs and cats absorption may perhaps make improvements to when it is given with food items, primarily a fatty food. The supplement can be offered alongside with a variety of remedies the medical doctor could have prescribed for your pet. As usually, even though, it is essential to let your physician know of any adverse effects or dosage modifications when your pet starts supplementation with CoQ10.
Mainly because there is a broad variety of top quality amongst CoQ10 supplements, clientele must use only the item that has been approved, for very best results. The complement marketplace is mainly unregulated (unless adverse activities are documented to the Foodstuff and Drug Administration or Department of Agriculture) and any individual can develop and sell health supplements with out any thought for the performance, safety, or high-quality of components. Paying for and administering nutritional supplements from unknown or disreputable makers can be high-priced and may possibly expose your pet to nutritional supplements that are ineffective or even damaging, specifically if contaminated with other elements. While we do not hope adverse consequences to take place, remember that any medicine or health supplement can trigger adverse effects in an unique individual nonetheless, these are a great deal significantly less likely to manifest with nutritional supplements than with traditional medications. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
FRIDAY, July 1, 2022 (HealthDay Information) — New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday that the town has introduced the initially-of-their-type cellular COVID-19 screening models that will also dispense the antiviral drug Paxlovid to individuals who check optimistic for the virus.
The “Test-to-Address” system is component of federal and town efforts to capture and address infections early and be prepared for new waves of the pandemic. Wellbeing officials also want to expand accessibility to Paxlovid, primarily for folks who you should not have a common physician or insurance coverage, the New York Situations documented.
“New York Metropolis may have been at the epicenter of the pandemic at the start, but now we are main the way in prevention and mitigation,” Adams mentioned in his announcement. “By having lifesaving medicines into the arms of New Yorkers minutes following they take a look at positive, we are as soon as again foremost the country to rapidly produce accessible care to these who need it.”
Adams, who took business office in January, tested positive for the virus in April and has said that his infection was moderate in portion simply because he took Paxlovid.
White Property COVID-19 Reaction Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha advised the Moments there had been a key raise in the use of Paxlovid throughout the nation over the final a few months, and that 240,000 new prescriptions had been described final 7 days, the highest weekly whole so considerably. But he pointed out that people who take a look at good in bad communities experienced not gotten antiviral treatment plans as normally as folks in wealthy communities had.

We have a shared mission with our community and partners to create a DAO that looks to work with others and welcome any partnership or contribution to bring about a decentralised economy.
Currently, three out of five in a multisig quorum govern protocol code updates. As mentioned in the latest update, we propose the addition of community members who are reputable and proactive to the multisig, increasing its threshold to five out of seven signers. We are open but exclusive, therefore we would like to include members of the community. We believe that this yields a more transparent and decentralised decision execution process.
The team would love to have community members like @thebillionnet, @Dannyo (Daniel W) @JoelJohn (LedgerPrime) & Aurum Law Firm onboard. Their active contribution and support - both in terms of social media activity & product advice - are much appreciated. However, we still want to give everyone in the community an opportunity to come forward and propose themselves as candidates.
If this proposal goes through and there is no other suitable candidate to be added to the multisig, we will onboard @thebillionet, @Dannyo (Daniel W), @JoelJohn (LedgerPrime) & Aurum Law Firm as signers.
Criteria and Specifications
Multisig participants must be responsible, constantly be involved in the project and take the necessary actions for its rapid development.
The ideal candidates would be:
- reasonably active and available for signing;
- have shown deep involvement, forum/discord/telegram activity or other forms of contribution;
- understand/ask what they are signing (as opposed to “I sign what you send to me”);
- (stars - not mandatory) understand smart contracts & keep themselves informed/updated on how the system functions.
Precautionary Measures Against Contingency
While we remain committed to transparency and decentralised processes, we find it necessary to exercise caution in time-sensitive scenarios. For example, the multisig members will immediately implement a contingency plan to protect the platform and its users if a security breach is detected.
Although governance votes should trigger the majority of the smart contract’s operations, multisig has to retain the ability to perform actions that require immediate response without a governance vote. Considering that:
- Vortex is still new - contracts & strategy are not battle-tested yet (both in terms of TVL and time since launch).
- Leaving all pauses or upgrades to governance proved to be a bad practice in the space, even with veteran DeFi protocols (see Compound exploit).
This practice does not mean a decrease in transparency, though. All such events would be announced for the public to verify. Please note that multisig members’ capacity is substantially limited to:
- Emergency cases: should an event to pause or upgrade the contracts arise, multisig signers may do it without a governance vote. Contracts upgrade would have at least 24 hours notice, and emergency cases with need to pause contracts would be announced as the decision is made.
- Cases approved by DAO: cases suggested & voted on by the community in the future governance proposals.
As the need and/or ability to change the power of multisig arise, there should be an additional governance proposal discussed and approved by the community.
The discussion will be open for 3 days & voting will start on Friday, Feb 4
AGAINST: Not adding community members to the multisig and declining the power of the multisig. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Leaving Blr in 4 months- Rant
Came to Bangalore to join an in-office role, the org and role is good.
But coming from Gurgaon, I was not able to like the city.
Extremely poor infrastructure like a tier 2 city
Every govt official is corrupt, police can harass you anywhere
You neither feel homely nor is there any vibe of a cosmopolitan city. Local politics will not let this city become a cosmopolitan startup hub. Gurgaon is so so much better.
Everyone just wants to loot money, everything is expensive. Rent is high, landlord deducting 1 month extra rent, unnecessarily high security amount, cook and maid everything is so effin’ expensive
Alcohol is expensive.
Good food is expensive
The value of money is lesser here as compared to the rest of the country.
I have a flight tonight and I am so happy that it’s a one way flight.
I don’t mean to offend anyone, but bangalore can be very lonely and it has been so for many of my friends.
Particularly ease of life is much higher in NCR and that’s why a lot of people move back. Those who feel otherwise haven’t lived in NCR so Bangalore is more of just a bubble for them. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Walkerton, Indiana Giants in Copper Armor
One of the specific reports I knew about from the beginning was a report from Indiana in the 1920s. In 1925, several amateurs digging in an Indian mound at Walkerton, Indiana, uncovered the skeletons of eight very ancient humans measuring in height from eight to almost nine feet. All eight giants had been buried in “substantial copper armor.” This was a report I alluded to in the podcast although I did not have the reference before me then. This case and many other cases like it are cited on this web page:
“Accounts of Giants in North America”
MOUND GIANTS IN INDIANA SAID TO ANTEDATE INDIAN
SOUTH BEND, Indiana, – Eight Skeletons, one of them clad in copper armor, and a hoard of rare war weapons and bits of personal adornment have been found in a mysterious mound on the farm of Grove Vosburg, near Walkerton.
Vosburg, a 70 year old farmer, had long desired to know the secret of that mound, which according to local tradition dates back hundreds of years. Secretly excavating this pile of earth he came upon a strange burial place.
The eight skeletons lay in a circular formation, arranged like the spokes of a wheel, with skulls together. Copper breastplates, bands and other bits of armor adorned the skeleton of one man, who apparently had been of giant stature. Embedded in this skull was a beautifully chipped flint arrowhead.
The soft earth of the mound revealed other treasures. Three pounds of ore, believed to be either silver or white gold, lie with the bones. There were corroded copper bands, which antiquarians here believed were used to bind war clubs; two pipe bowls, one of smooth black stone, and the other carved with a replica of a fantastic monster, were found.
The belief that the bones are not those of Indianas, but belong to the ancient and little known race of mound builders has arisen because of the great size of the bones and the fact that skull formations are not those of Indian types. The skulls seem to have little forhead and the eye cavities are high in the head.

The ranks of the 10th were filled by men who in civilian life were already proficient in skiing and mountaineering. They were shipped to the Italian front and their actions in the Apennine Mountains and the Alps led to the German surrender in Italy on May 2, 1945. The division was disbanded in late 1945, but reestablished in the 1980s, and is based today at Fort Drum, in Watertown, New York.
This program takes place in the History Center’s main gallery on Saturday, December 7, 2019 starting at 1:00 PM. Copies of The Winter Army will be available for purchase at the program.
Maurice Isserman is the Publius Virgilius Rogers Professor of History at Hamilton College. He holds a Ph.D. from University of Rochester and is a former Fulbright grant-winner.

The impacts of climate change have already significantly affected livelihoods, especially of the poorest and most vulnerable communities. It is an open secret that, even though the Least Developing Countries have little responsibility in contributing to climate change, they are the ones most affected by its impacts, primarily due to high dependence on climate-sensitive resources and low adaptive capacity.
Like many other LDCs, Tanzania is already affected by climate change and variabilities, with extreme events such as droughts and floods, unpredictable rainfall patterns, rising sea level and sinking islands resulting into food insecurity, water and social conflicts, disruption of livelihoods and major economic costs. Tanzania, for instance is estimated to have recorded economic losses to the tune of USD 33.7 million over the past ten-years due floods. In addressing climatic challenges. Tanzania has developed Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the National Environmental Master Plan for Strategic Interventions (NEMSI), 2022-2032, which charts out strategic interventions to address environmental challenges based on their spatial variation. Priority actions and specific areas for interventions regarding climate change Adaptation and Mitigation have been identified. They include country wide tree planting, use of clean cooking energy, building small and medium sized dams to store rainwater for use during the year, and construction of seawalls for protection the coastline from erosion. I hereby, call upon our development partners for enhanced support to LDCs in Climate financing.
In order to strengthen climate resilience, I urge that we ensure that climate change adaptation and mitigation issues are adequately mainstreamed in development plans, targeting sectors that are most vulnerable to climate change, such as agriculture, water and energy.
Finally, Regional and global partnerships are key pillars in finding solutions to the challenges that we face. In our case, priority areas of partnerships include: solar and wind energy, waste management disposal and green technologies. Let us collectively invest in appropriate innovative technologies to address climate change and associated challenges towards a better future.

Now that the multiple nuclear reactors in Japan are in meltdown, possibly on the scale of Chernobyl in 1986, the key safety questions are “How will this radiation accident compare to other previously documented events, such as Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, and will the radiation cause cancer?”
Using reports from our US NCR and the United Nations BEIR VII report, we tabulated rough estimates of radiation exposure and compared them to the gold standard of data, the WW2 Atom-bomb survivor studies (BEIR). The long-term cohort studies of the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the best medical data available to correlate cancer risks to exposure.
It is premature to estimate the radiation amounts being leaked from Japan, but given that there are at least four reactors melting down, it is safe to assume that the Japan disaster will be on par, if not worse, than Chernobyl. Chernobyl contaminated areas of Europe thousands of miles away. Some areas were extremely high doses that were in cancer-causing range, but the average doses were not.
At this time, it is likely that radiation will reach Alaska and the continental U.S., but that the levels will be very low.

TM03 Swords Dance | ||
# | Location | Repeatable? |
1 | Silph Co. 7th Floor. In an area south of the elevator. Only accessible with a Card Key. | No |
TM03 Swords Dance can be found on the 7th floor of the Silph Co. building in Saffron City. The TM is located in an area just south of the elevator in 7F.
However, this area is only accessible with the Card Key that you’ll find on the 5th floor of Silph. Co.
This is what you need to do before you can get TM03:
- Meet Mr. Fuji on the top floor of the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town
- Get the Card Key on the 5th floor of the Silph Co. building
Getting TM03 Swords Dance
Starting from the Saffron City Pokémon Center, head west until you reach the end of the path.
At the end of the path, head north until you see a sign near a building and the path splits.
At the path split, head east until you reach the Silph Co. building.
If you’ve talked to Mr. Fuji, then there should be no Rocket guarding the Silph Co. building and you should be able to enter.
Once inside the building, Head northeast towards the elevator near the top right corner of the 1st floor. The elevator is just left of the stairs.
Take the elevator up to the 9th floor. You could also take the stairs up to the 9th floor, but using the elevator is much faster.
Once you’re on the 9th floor, head southeast until you’re in the bottom right corner of the room.
There’s a Scientist trainer near the bottom of the room, but he can be avoided if you just walk around him.
Head northwest in this new room towards the teleporter behind the desk and walk onto the square.
The teleporter will lead you to the 5th floor next to a Rocket. This Rocket is unavoidable and you’ll have to fight him.
Rocket’s Team | |
Pokémon | Arbok (Lv. 33) |
Type | Poison |
After defeating the Rocket, head east until you see a Poké Ball.
This Poké Ball contains the Card Key.
Once you’ve got the Card Key then we’ll head to the 7th floor. The easiest way to do that is by heading back the way you came.
Once you’re on the 7th floor, head southeast towards the electronic door and interact with it. There’s a Rocket nearby, but you can walk around him.
Once the door is open, head towards the bottom-right corner until you see the Pokéball on the ground containing TM03 Swords Dance.
Swords Dance Details + Uses
Swords Dance Move Details | |
Type | Normal |
Power | — |
Accuracy | 100% |
PP | 20 (max. 32) |
Effect | Raises the user’s attack by two stages. |
Swords Dance is a powerful stat increasing move that raises the user’s attack stat by two stages.
Even just one use of Swords Dance can seriously strengthen a Pokémon’s physical attacks for the rest of the battle.
For a Pokémon with a high attack stat, or a Pokémon that uses non-special attack moves, Swords Dance is a great TM worth using. Otherwise it could be worth selling for some extra cash. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
164 Hours with the GT-200: Andrew Morris Shares His Experience
At Gyro-Trac, we’re committed to creating powerful, reliable equipment that delivers unmatched performance. Our GT-200 has been a standout machine for land clearing and forestry work, but nothing tells the story better than feedback straight from the operators in the field.
Today, we’re checking in with Andrew Morris down in Central Florida, who’s been putting his GT-200 to the test for almost a year now.
A Year in Review: Andrew's Experience
Andrew has logged 164 hours on his GT-200 since he started using it in January. When asked how the machine has performed for him, Andrew didn’t hesitate to give us his honest feedback: "It’s been performing great! The cutting is excellent, the visibility is top-notch, and I haven’t had any major issues."
What stands out for Andrew is not just the performance of the GT-200 but also the view from inside the cab. "There’s nothing blocking your view, and it makes working on tough terrain much easier." For any operator, visibility can make a huge difference in efficiency and safety, so it’s no surprise that this feature has been a highlight.
Support that Matters
Beyond performance, Andrew emphasized the customer service experience. "Whenever I’ve had a question about the mulcher, I’ve been able to call and get the help I need quickly." At Gyro-Trac, we pride ourselves on providing excellent support for our customers, ensuring that every operator feels confident with their equipment.
A Quick Maintenance Visit
During our visit, we spent some time making a few adjustments to the GT-200. We worked on the belt that controls the motor to the drum, ensuring it was properly adjusted and tightened, and we also took some time to work on the tracks. These quick fixes are a normal part of machine maintenance and keep everything running smoothly.
Would He Recommend It?
Without hesitation, Andrew gave us a resounding, "Oh yeah!" when asked if he would recommend the GT-200 to others. After 164 hours of use, it’s clear that the GT-200 continues to impress and deliver the results Andrew needs for his land-clearing work. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Activision is easing the decision-making process for customers who pre-order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The Modern Warfare 2 campaign will be available to pre-orderers on October 20, one week before the game’s official release date of October 28. This is a first for the series.
Pre-ordering has a few additional benefits in addition to early campaign access:
Access to the whole Modern Warfare II Campaign up to one week beforehand
The open beta version of the game will launch on October 28
Package of the Final Judgment: Access to the legendary “Deathknell” operator skin and the legendary “Bloodthirsty” weapon blueprint for usage in Vanguard and Warzone right away.
The program adopts the same strategy as rivals like EA to encourage pre-orders and membership programs. Without paying for the game, for instance, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or EA Play ($5/mo), subscribers can play a 10-hour trial of Madden 23.
While it is true that staggered releases are an excellent way to maintain enthusiasm for a longer time, I predict that people who sign up for early access on October 20 will be disappointed. For example, launching Modern Warfare only to discover that two-thirds of the game are greyed out doesn’t sound like a thrilling start to the upcoming CoD year. Likewise, my enthusiasm for Halo subsided when Halo Infinite’s campaign was made available a month after its multiplayer.
This campaign, which encompasses missions in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, promises to be a fascinating experience on several levels, including offshore sieges with underwater fighting, full-scale explosive assaults from 30,000 feet above enemy strongholds, and high-stakes, low-profile stealth missions in plain sight and at night.
Not to mention that the Fashionable Warfare 2 campaign will not take you a whole week to complete. You could probably finish it in a day or two if it is similar to the last 15 Calls of Obligation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In recent time, the US-based Fitch Ratings reformed its 2019 growth estimation for Malaysia from 4.2% to 4.6%, following the country posted stronger-than-anticipated growth in the first half. The central bank of Malaysia (Bank Negara Malaysia) posted second-quarter financial growth of 4.9%, making it Southeast Asia’s third-largest financial system, which is the only one in the region to demonstrate some quickening from the first quarter. In a statement, Fitch said, “The revision shows the stronger-than-anticipated average growth pace of 4.7% on yearly basis in 2019, plus our view for private intake to remain strong and for the slowdown in investment expansion to bottom out.” Fitch said private consumption will be the main carrier of growth, aided by administrative policies to strengthen purchasing power and disposable income.”
The July resume of the Chinese-controlled multi-billion dollar ECRL (East Coast Rail Link) boosted confidence to improve investment scenario across Malaysia, in particular with Malaysia’s attempts to double Chinese overseas investment in the manufacturing segment, the firm said. Nevertheless, exports that surged slightly in the first half owing to a shrink in imports are likely to be a drag on financial feat in the second half of the year. Fitch stated, “The external segment is possible to remain under extreme pressure in the upcoming quarters, with any significant recovery to exports augmentation being unlikely, as any benefits from relocation to Malaysia might take time to feed through.”
Similarly, in recent time, Malaysia’s financial system development advanced, offsetting regional tailwinds. Malaysia’s economic growth accelerated in the second quarter since robust domestic demand and recoil in commodity prices aided it for the regional slowdown. The GDP expanded by 4.9% in the second quarter than a year ago, which was more from 4.5% in the past 3 Months, as per to the figures from the central bank. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Development and diversity analysis of an hexaploid pre-breeding asparagus population with introgressions from wild relative species
Current asparagus cultivars

Show full item recordAbstract
The development of new asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) cultivars has been hindered by the lack of genetic diversity in the crop. The current study aims at generating novel plant material to widen the genetic base of the crop by using CWR (crop wild relatives). We have developed a hexaploid population of about 1000 plants with introgressions of four polyploid CWR species (A. maritimus, A. pseudoscaber, A. brachyphyllus and A. macrorrhizus). The population is the second generation from a first backcrossing using the landrace ‘Morado de Huétor’ as recurrent parent and was obtained in open pollination. The diversity of the population was analyzed by six EST-SSR (Expressed Sequence Tag-Simple Sequence Repeat) markers. A random sampling of 60 plants was used to estimate the genetic variability. The results were compared with data previously obtained from the parental collection, the landrace ‘Morado de Huétor’ and diploid current asparagus cultivars. The average PICm (polymorphic information content) value of the new population and ‘Morado de Huétor’ were similar (>0.8) and higher than the value observed in the diploid cultivars (0.61). At least 22.2% of the alleles detected in the hexaploid population were specific from the CWR species used in this study. Principal coordinate analyses (PCoA) revealed a clear genetic diversity differentiation between populations. The population of 1000 plants was evaluated for agronomic traits (earliness, stalk number, branching height and stalk thickness) for two years and we selected 80 plants to develop a breeding base population. Variation was significant for all traits (P<0.001). These 80 plants were also analyzed with the six EST-SSR markers and they conserve the variability present in the starting population. The results show an increase in the genetic variability and offer a new opportunity for asparagus improvement. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Crypto.com is a digital exchange platform and services provider. It has recently gained a lot of attention from the crypto buffs in Europe to become the first licensed entity in the industry. The company made the news official on Thursday about acquiring a regulatory pass from Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA).
Malta is an island state in Europe that is governed by EU regulations and legislative authorities. The said license is called the Electronic Money Institution or EMI. Within the Malta jurisdiction, the company has been registered with its official name, i.e., Forix Dax. The grant of EMI license allows the crypto enterprise to offer banking transfers and issue card payments in Malta.
A new blog post from Crypto.com has been published that explains in detail the extensive work and commitment that is required to acquire approval. The blog states that the crypto enterprise has been planned to work as a regulated and properly licensed entity and work in tandem with the MFSA to make it possible. The blog also reveals that the company leadership envisions a fully compliant service platform parallel with the governing laws.
Kris Marszalek, CEO of Crypto.com, told the media that cooperating with the regulatory watchdogs in the region is the best way to make mainstream crypto happen. He further explained that becoming the first crypto organization in the world with an EMI license is a huge milestone for the company. Since Malta has stringent laws in the region, both traditional and digital banks need to acquire a series of licenses to commence operations.
The Crypto Exchange Acquires one more Unique License in EU Jurisdiction
Several regulatory bodies in the world have started to acknowledge the cryptocurrency markets. Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) recently claimed that it is no longer possible to ignore the increasing number of crypto enterprises, and there should be appropriate regulations issued as soon as possible. However, the UK that has recently opted out of the EU jurisdiction imposes services restrictions for Binance.
Meanwhile, Crypto.com has been able to keep moving forward with no signs of stopping. The company has already scored another license called Class 3 Virtual Finance Assets License (VFA). This puts the crypto enterprise in the position to offer digital assets-based services to the traders and investors in Malta. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Microsoft has published a new blog post describing the actions it has taken in developing a more secure web browser. Microsoft Edge, which will ship with Windows 10, is built so that users can "confidently experience the web from Windows". The new browser implements sandboxing, compiler, and memory management techniques to defend end users from "increasingly sophisticated and prevalent attacks".
Combating fake sites/links
Many people are tricked by fake sites, 'phishing' for information. Nearly every day I get asked to 'resolve a case' with my PayPal account (or similar) by clicking a link and confirming my details – probably on a site which looks a lot like the one it is supposed to be. Microsoft has some tools implemented in Edge to help prevent you falling for this kind of trickery. On its blog we are told that you can keep your passwords safe in Microsoft Passport which would not authenticate your details on a dodgy site.
Other technologies that will help protect you from fakery are; Microsoft SmartScreen which performs a 'reputation check' on sites you visit, a Certificate Reputation system, and using new security features based upon the W3C and IETF standards.
As Microsoft Edge is a Universal Windows App "both the outer manager process, and the assorted content processes, all live within app container sandboxes". The app container sandbox is turned on all the time so all browser processes run with less privileges than the user and browser controls.
Windows ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) is stronger on 64-bit computers. Attackers should find it much more difficult to inject malicious code into your browser process via a coding bug.
Another common tactic used by those who want to hack or subvert your browsing is via memory corruption. Microsoft says that C/C++ programs are particularly vulnerable to such attacks as they don't offer 'type safety' or buffer overflow protection. If a hacker can corrupt the memory used by a program they can then sometimes gain control of the program. In Microsoft Edge users will benefit from security measures such as MemGC (Memory Garbage Collector) and CFG (Control Flow Guard).
Last but not least, Microsoft's Windows 10 Technical Preview Browser Bug Bounty program is intended to incentivise security researchers to quickly report problems with Edge so that hackers don't get time to exploit problems.
With all the above in consideration Microsoft claims that "Microsoft Edge will be the most secure web browser that Microsoft has ever shipped". If that is true and Edge is indeed proved to be particularly impervious to hacks and hijacking it will be good for both the reputations of the Windows PC and the safety of internet commerce. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The central market analyst of the Canadian Real Estate Association says property holders in the Greater Toronto Area should prepare themselves for a conceivable duty on speculative home sales.
Gregory Klump noted that he would not be shocked to see policy makers take off such a measure similarly as the market recuperates from the latest round of new regulations.
“I don’t believe they’re done yet,” Klump said amid an Economic Club of Canada in Toronto.
The Ontario government presented new market regulations in April as a way of cooling runaway house costs in the quickly developing Greater Golden Horseshoe area, including a 15% tax on international purchasers and extended lease controls.
Home deals in the GTA dove by 20.3% in May, the month after the new regulations produced results, recommending that the measures are having the coveted effect.
Nonetheless, a few business analysts say the effect might be fleeting like it was in Vancouver, where the presentation of a foreign buy tax caused an impermanent interruption in deals movement before the market recovered again.
Klump stated he could see it taking around six months for the real estate market in the Toronto territory to accumulate its heat once more, given that no new measures are presented in short time intervals.
Inadequacies in the regulations could still make it possible for some market speculators to go free without paying the duty, Klump says. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The ever entertaining Jon Talton of the Seattle Times' Business and Technology section just can't get the hang of economics. In a column titled, Innovation Requires Creative Leadership, he claims;
...some leading from the top actually will be necessary. We wouldn’t have aerospace and software clusters without Bills (Boeing and Gates) leading from the top.

Second day in a row, 18 players today-NADA. Today Brantford's own Len Hachborn. This is from the summer when I was on holidays and did not post. Just catching up on Sept 4th birthdate.
Selected by Philadelphia Flyers round 9 #184 overall 1981 NHL Entry Draft.
He was called up during the 1983-1984 season and played 78 games for the Flyers before being sent down the Hershey Bears during the '84-'85 season. During his stint with the Flyers, he had 16 goals and 38 assists.
Hachborn was sold to the L.A. Kings in 1985 and played 24 games for his new team during the 1985-1986 season before returning to the AHL. He has since played for a number of teams in North America and Europe and was signed by the Phoenix Mustangs in 1999.
Played left wing on line with Wayne Gretzky growing up in Brantford, Ontario. As 10-year-olds, Hachborn and Brian Croley were playing on Gretzky's line when Gretzky scored 378 goals in 84 games. The goalie on that team was former Red Wing Greg Stefan. I knew his brother's (ex) wife so I got these items signed IP--except I wasn't the person that got them. I also got to see the wedding invitation to Gretzky's wedding as they were invited. Gee, guess I should have asked for that.

Silvertop House combines an Edwardian cottage with a light and airy contemporary addition for a young family, yet avoids the common box-on-the-back approach through careful integration.
While the original home’s façade and ornate front rooms are preserved to meet heritage overlay regulations, the new addition introduces a more minimal approach. A pitched roof takes full advantage of natural light, covered in beautiful silvertop cladding. This use of timber creates a warm environment ideally suited to the quiet of leafy Malvern.
Timber-framed sliding doors continue the natural materiality outside to a garden terrace, softened by lush planting and bordered by a grey brick wall that continues into the living space to blur the indoor-outside boundaries. An upstairs office enjoys direct garden views and abundant light, while a parent’s retreat provides a similarly calm place away from children’s areas below.
Sympathetic to its context and restrained in its materials, Silvertop House maximises its compact site to balance practical and joyful family spaces in one intelligently crafted home. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It seems like just about every week there is some new
malware threat to mobile users, especially for those who use Android. What if we told you that many of those new threats are not actually new at all?
According to Dr. Web, an anti-malware software provider and security research organization, there was a
significant spike in the use of numerous known malware threats hidden in faux apps on the Play Store. These apps ranged from hiding background advertisements and notification data stealing, to auto-signing people up for subscription services.
Image of known malware infected applications
Some of the apps also included fake versions of mods to popular applications, such as Facebook and WhatsApp. A good portion of those were mostly distributed through SEO Poisoning and social engineering methods to trick people into downloading and side-loading them as APKs, though.
It seems like a good portion of the malware was targeted towards Russian speaking languages as some screen captures provided by Dr. Web include fake financial applications geared towards investment in natural gas and energy. Others were just hidden in applications that claimed to provide image editing software, media players, and navigation software. One such application found to have the subscription malware in it is known as Top Navigator. Luckily, as of this post it has been removed from the Play Store, but not before it racked up over 500,000 downloads. That application has the ID of
com.navigatorcityproject.topnavigation, so if you do find it installed, make sure you remove it from your device.
Image of multiple fake apps known to be infected with malware
A good portion of these malwares also included ways of allowing the ne'er-do-wells to take screen captures, or intercept notifications to steal private information, such as 2-factor codes, one time passwords, and other security information. On top of that WhatsApp message intercepts, KeyLoggers, and much more. The total list of malware that was detected by Dr. Web has a slew of names which we have a list of here.
- Android HiddenAds
Those are a ton of variations in malware, and according to Dr. Web one in five apps installed on Android systems are likely to have malware. So what do you do? Well, as we've advised almost every week with every malware we report on, make sure you read reviews. Double check against malware web sites, don't side-load APKs you don't trust, and just be wary in general. Some malware out there are especially tricky and might only be able to be eradicated through a
complete wipe of your device, which is not fun.

If you're living with disruptive period symptoms, and aren't sure what to do, you're not alone! According to one Dutch study, many women who suffer from heavy, painful periods keep their suffering to themselves. Even when these symptoms affect their ability to live a normal life!
After surveying 45,000 women, researchers found that 85% experienced painful cramps during their periods. 77% had mood disorders, and 71% experienced near-crippling exhaustion. And 33% of the respondents reported that these symptoms kept them from performing their daily activities. But among those 33% who cut back on activities because of their periods, less than half told their doctors or family members the reason for their life changes.
Lead study author Dr. Mark Schoep of Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands said, "We think there is a taboo on menstrual symptoms, mainly because women think this is just a normal part of life, and they might feel it is not accepted to openly discuss this matter.”
While mild cramping isn't unusual during your period, symptoms that affect your daily life are a problem you should talk about with your doctor. In fact, menstrual symptoms can indicate serious complications, like uterine fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis. If you don't talk to your doctor about these symptoms, you may miss a diagnosis-and keep suffering for nor reason.
“Women need to know that they should seek health care if they have menstrual symptoms that affect their daily life,” said Dr. Trine Stanley Karlsson of the University Hospital Karolinska in Stockholm, Sweden, who was also involved in the study. And that's especially true, since these symptoms could be an early warning sign of uterine fibroids.
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous, muscular growths. They can develop in or on your uterus. And they're one of the most common health complications women face. Yet many women with fibroids don’t know the cause of their pain, often because they don't discuss warning signs like period symptoms.
Luckily, we can easily treat fibroids, especially if we diagnose you before they grow large. Remember, while we don't know exactly why women develop fibroids, we do know that race, family history, and certain environmental factors contribute to your risk. So, if you are one of the women at greater risk for fibroids, we suggest getting screened to help with early detection.
When you treat your uterine fibroids, your period symptoms should resolve. For that reason, we suggest scheduling a consult with our team of fibroid specialists as soon as you notice changes in your cycle, or receive the diagnosis of a fibroid. Along with period symptoms, other signs of fibroids include constipation, weight gain, infertility, frequent urination, pelvic pain and heavy bleeding.
Remember, if you don't talk about your period symptoms, we can't help you find a solution. That's why, at our Houston Fibroids center, we encourage women to be proactive about their health. With UFE, (Uterine Fibroid Embolization, a minimally invasive fibroid treatment option) we can alleviate painful period symptoms related to your fibroids. But only if you speak up! So stop keeping discomfort to yourself. The sooner you share your health information, and make an appointment with our team of experts, the quicker we can get to work making you feel better.
Please contact our dedicated specialists to schedule a consultation today.

Written by Dr. Gina Singleton, Caring Pathways Veterinarian in Fort Collins, CO
The bond between humans and their pets is one of the most profound connections in life. At Caring Pathways, we often witness the depth of this bond during some of the most challenging moments. One such touching story is that of Jason and his beloved cat, Annabelle. Their journey together, marked by love, resilience, and ultimately, a heart-wrenching farewell, highlights the essence of compassionate end-of-life care. This is a story that has stayed with me since my first year with Caring Pathways, and it perfectly encapsulates the extraordinary lengths to which people will go to ensure their pets’ comfort and dignity.
The Diagnosis: A Heartbreaking Reality
In my first year with Caring Pathways, I helped a family in a particularly challenging situation that has stayed with me ever since.
A young man named Jason had a very young cat, Annabelle, who had been diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). This is a terrible disease that, at the time, did not have many good treatment options. Since then, there have been newer treatments showing promise (new FIP treatment). When I arrived, Annabelle and Jason were in his bed, both wrapped in blankets, lying side by side. This sweet girl was very sick and clearly suffering.
A Journey of Love and Companionship
I sat with Jason for a while, listening to the story of his journey with Annabelle—how he had found her during a road trip with some friends, tiny and alone. He picked her up, and she rode across the country in his lap as their fluffy gray mascot. Since then, they had not been apart for long.
Conflict and Heartache
Jason’s father then arrived and unfortunately introduced conflict to the situation. His religious beliefs dictated that euthanasia was wrong, and he was distraught that his son was pursuing this for Annabelle. In his grief, he also disclosed to me that Jason himself had a terminal illness.
The pain in the room was palpable. Everyone was fighting an internal battle.
A Peaceful Farewell
Jason did his best to focus on Annabelle and asked me to proceed. We did, and Annabelle passed very quickly and peacefully, cradled in Jason’s arms.
The Profound Example of the Human-Animal Bond
What struck me in the most profound way was Jason’s commitment to give Annabelle a peaceful death despite all that was thrown at him. Jason’s bravery in facing the loss of his companion and tolerating his father’s protests was the most powerful example of the human-animal bond that I have yet to see. The desire for Annabelle’s suffering to end was far greater in Jason’s heart than his need to hold on to her.
The Unbreakable Bond and Humane Euthanasia
The human-animal bond has been studied and celebrated for a long time. In my opinion, humane euthanasia is the greatest example of this unbreakable bond. I have seen families struggle with guilt and shame over the decision to say goodbye, but ultimately, they are willing to take on the pain of the goodbye to relieve their pet’s suffering. To me, this is the most profound act of love there is.
Reflecting on the Importance of In-Home Care
I cannot fathom how this situation would have unfolded in a regular veterinary clinic setting. There would not have been time for me to understand the dynamic of this family struggle. I would not have been able to support Jason and, afterward, his father in the same way. I am grateful to this day that I was there for them, in Jason’s home and for what he and Annabelle taught me.

Who is Savory Simon?
Simon Hubig was a real man, born in the U.S. in 1860 of German immigrant parents. As the story goes, his father died young and he and his brothers helped their mother start and grow a baking business. He was industrious and successful, and in his 30s he opened the Simon Hubig Baking Company in Cincinnati, OH. He patented machinery and was said to have had the greatest output of all bakeries in the United States. Then, in 1918, he established the Simon Hubig Company in Ft. Worth, Texas.
The Simon Hubig Company expanded into several cities including New Orleans, where a bakery opened in 1921 at 2417 Dauphine St. The New Orleans bakery was the only one of the Hubig locations to survive the Depression and World Wars.
In the 1950s Otto Ramsey worked for and was able to buy into the New Orleans location. Otto's son Toby Ramsey joined the company in the 1960s, and Toby’s son Drew Ramsey joined in the 90s.
Today Drew Ramsey is the 3rd generation of the Ramsey family to own and operate Hubig’s. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Sylvia Mitchell Lynch bore and raised her children Bernard, Rose Iva, and Patricia Ann in Lily, South Dakota. Their father Leo Louis Lynch came from German and Irish stock.
Sylvia was born in 1905, of the same stock. Nothing surprising about that. The great German and Irish immigrations occurred during the 19th century. Sylvia fell in love with Leo Lynch when she was 14. Oglala Lakota Sioux blood ran through her veins as well, with some French thrown in for spice. I am not surprised, remembering Grandma. Lily is smack dab in the middle of ancient Sioux land, so no surprises there either.
Sylvia's father Emerson Mitchell was half Oglala Lakota Sioux. A handsome man with a sunny personality, Emerson delighted in playing the fiddle on the front porch of the farmhouse during parties he dreamed up. My mother Rose said that "everyone loved Pa." Sylvia, my grandmother, did not play the fiddle but she played a sweet harmonica.
Many terrible events devastated the Sioux, and yet they remain. We come from them. It's easy to learn more about the Sioux. The two most important books in their 20th Century history are Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and In the Spirit of Crazy Horse. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, by Dee Brown, was made into a movie. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I have listed a new property at 214 Howe ST in VICTORIA.
No the price isn't a typo!!! The quintessential funky fairfield character. This one combines livability with future potential given the lot's dual road frontage. Cook Street Village and Dallas waterfront are just blocks away. The home itself features a large bedroom on the main with walk-in closet, a full bathroom and an open kitchen leading out to a deck overlooking a large fully fenced yard. One of the 2 bedrooms up is a big master that has a Juliet balcony and 3pc ensuite. Recent roof and exterior paint have brought back the charm of this old home. Lots of parking in the driveway and on the street. Heaps of storage in the unfinished basement. TLC is necessary and will go a long way here. Add on, build new, re-develop....Lots of options! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

#12: Rest and recovery
Yesterday, as planned, we had a restful day! Napping, listening to music, recovering, doing little repairs to our gear.
By late afternoon the wind had died down, and so we ventured out to cover some distance. We skied from 5:30pm - 10:30pm in total whiteout, staying close together so as not to become separated. At one point the sky opened up above us, and we could see the clouds lit up with evening light, all the while we were blind in the snowy blizzard at ground level!
Just as we stopped to set up camp, the visibility cleared slightly and we caught a glimpse of DYE II, about 11km away.
Today we are doing much the same as the weather forecast is similar to yesterday, wind and snow in the morning, dying down later in the day. We will head out some time this afternoon and explore DYE II this evening.
I headed out around last night to check the tents were anchored, lines tight, sleds and poles safely stowed, and saw a stunning sunset at exactly midnight, I’ll attach a photo!
For now, more rest and recovery. I just beat Bård in a chess game, buuuut he smashed me in Pass the Pigs, so I guess we’re even! I sense some rematches on the horizon 😉

Anwar Al-Awlaki, an extremist preacher of Yemeni descent, is the first U.S. citizen ever to be placed on the CIA targeted kill list. His extremist sermons have been seen as the inspiration behind a number of high profile terrorist plots, including the shootings at Fort Hood in November 2009 and the attempt to detonate an explosive device on board a Christmas Day flight to Detroit.
Jack Barclay looks at Al-Awlaki’s use of the internet to spread his message. It then highlights the challenges that have been made to his authority by other figures within the Salafi movement. The paper argues that this intra-Salafi debate could be the most important weapon in countering Al-Awlaki’s influence. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

He’s going to be sorely missed by those that knew him. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The World Health Organization’s top emergency expert said on Friday it would be “highly speculative” for the WHO to say the coronavirus did not emerge in China, where it was first identified in a food market in December last year.
China is pushing a narrative via state media that the virus existed abroad before it was discovered in the central city of Wuhan, citing the presence of coronavirus on imported frozen food packaging and scientific papers claiming it had been circulating in Europe last year.
“I think it’s highly speculative for us to say that the disease did not emerge in China,” Mike Ryan said at a virtual briefing in Geneva after being asked if COVID-19 could have first emerged outside China.
“It is clear from a public health perspective that you start your investigations where the human cases first emerged,” he added, saying that evidence might then lead to other places.
He repeated that the WHO intended to send researchers to the Wuhan food market to probe the virus origins further.
The WHO has been accused by the Trump administration of being “China-centric”, allegations it has repeatedly denied.

Is it Useful to Learn Python Language for Big Data?
If you are a big data enthusiast and want to enter the field of big data, or if you are employing a development team to handle your big data requirements, you would find yourself pondering over this question many times. Is Python the best choice over the many other programming languages available? Which language should you train yourself or your staff in? Python or R or Hadoop? well, an article cannot solve your quandary, but read on if you need to find out what Python has to offer.
Python is an open-source programing language, which is most popularly used in big data. Python Language is synonymous with flexibility, and powerful yet easy-to-use features. Python has its USP in the rich set of utilities and the libraries it offers for analytics and data processing tasks. So, all in all, it is a given fact that among other options available Python maintains its popularity essentially because of it's easy to use features, which supports big data processing.
Python was developed with the philosophy to bring coding to an open platform, where coding becomes easy, more readable, where one can write less number of lines and yet get the desired results. Keeping the objective in mind, a standard library was introduced, which contained ready to use tools for performing various tasks.
These features make Python the most preferred choice for software development, and mostly so for Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning.
To put it shortly you need to learn Python because…...
- It offers a speedy learning curve and reduced development time, the syntax in Python is much cleaner and neater in comparison to other languages. It is easy to debug due to shorter codes. The modular architecture makes it easy to merely import and use a module rather than writing a large block of code. A great choice for beginners. Shorter and quicker codes reduce the development time drastically.
- You can automate the repetitive tasks, for lesser cognitively demanding tasks, tasks that need little decision-making can be automatically programmed by writing a script in Python.
- It is the most common choice for data scientists and analytics because of the convenience of feature-rich modules in Python which makes it easy to conduct data analytics in an efficient manner.
- Python is an object-oriented language, so if you learn Python it will make it easy for you to switch to any other object-oriented language. You will only need to learn the syntax of the other language.
- It is the future for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, which will be integrated in most functions in the very near future. Python becomes the premium choice for Machine learning algorithms mainly because of the portable extendable and scalable features of the language.
The field of data science and analytics, more specifically artificial intelligence and machine learning will only continue to flourish in the coming years. If you are looking to take a plunge in this field, then fluency in Python can be considered a prerequisite. Learning Python has minimal investment and maximum benefits, it then surely becomes an advantage to learn. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the heart of Windsor, Ontario, a colossal five-billion-dollar electric vehicle (EV) battery plant is taking shape. Recent reports suggest that this mammoth project will be a game-changer, providing employment to a whopping 2,500 individuals by the culmination of hiring activities in 2025. As Canada steadfastly marches towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, this EV battery plant stands as a testament to the nation’s commitment to green technology.

Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry recently announced an $8.5 million investment through Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) into VueReal, a technology firm based in Waterloo. This investment, coupled with an additional $2 million from the Ontario government, aims to support the development and integration of micro- and nano-devices, fostering job creation and economic growth.
The Green Tech Employment Landscape
As of 2021, the Canadian CleanTech sector employed over 188,000 individuals. Looking ahead, the forecast is promising: the green transition could generate a staggering 30 million jobs by 2030, outpacing the disruptions caused by AI in nearly one-quarter of the labor market. A report by CEC in March 2023 paints an even more optimistic picture, anticipating 700,000 net energy jobs in Canada by net-zero 2050.
Future Job Projections
The same report predicts that in a net-zero 2050 scenario:
- 1.3 million Canadians will be employed in EV-related jobs (60 times more than in 2025).
- Almost half a million people will find employment in supplying clean energy in Canada.
1. How can immigrants explore job opportunities in Canada’s green tech sector?
Immigrants can start by researching companies in the green tech industry, networking on professional platforms, and staying updated on government initiatives supporting job creation.
2. Are there specific skills in demand in the green tech industry?
Yes, skills related to clean energy, technology development, and sustainability are in high demand. Immigrants with expertise in these areas have excellent prospects.

The Japanese musician Hiroshi Morie, better known by his stage name Heath, is dead. The bassist of the internationally successful rock band X Japan died at the age of just 55 as a result of colon cancer. This is reported by “People” magazine, among others. Accordingly, Heath died on October 29, 2023. The cancer was first diagnosed during a medical examination in June 2023, the report continues.
“Despite his efforts to fight the disease, his condition suddenly deteriorated in October and he breathed his last in hospital,” said a statement from the band, obtained by the paper. The remaining members would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all those who valued Heath during his life.
All band members would have been given the opportunity to personally say goodbye to Hiroshi “Heath” Morie. They are “still deeply saddened and dismayed by his sudden loss.” The funeral is only open to the closest family members and please refrain from “visits, donations or flowers”. There will be a “formal farewell ceremony” at a later date.
X Japan is a Japanese rock band that has been active since the 1980s. They are considered to be the co-founders of the famous Visual Kei style and a pioneer for many Japanese musicians. X Japan had their greatest successes in the 1990s. After the band temporarily ended in 1997, X Japan celebrated a major reunion in 2007, as a result of which they also played several world tours. Heath, who also toured as a solo artist and with other bands, was an official member of the band from 1992 until his death. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Whether you have thinning hair or a receding hairline, you can benefit from HD lace front wigs. These wigs are made of transparent lace, which is undetectable. These wigs are perfect for women who want to wear a wig but don’t want to worry about its appearance.
Transparent lace vs HD lace wigs
Whether you are buying a lace wig or a hair piece, it is important to understand the difference between HD lace and transparent lace. Each is made from different materials and can have different effects on the overall look. You should also take into consideration your own personal preference when deciding on which one to purchase.
HD lace is thinner and more transparent than transparent lace. This allows for a natural looking hairline. It is also less itchy and more durable. It can be used on thinning hair lines and is perfect for those who are allergic to glue. It is also thinner and lighter than other types of lace. It can be dyed to match your skin tone.
HD lace is a more expensive option than transparent lace. However, it has more benefits. HD lace allows for a more natural look and gives you an invisible hairline. This can be beneficial for those who are trying to cover up baldness or who are looking for a hairpiece that has more realistic hair growth. It can also be beneficial for those with sensitive skin.
HD lace is also more delicate than other lace types. It is a thinner material than Swiss lace, which is generally used in lace wigs.
HD lace vs Transparent lace wigs are undetectable
Those who are wig wearers will surely have heard of HD lace front wigs. These are the latest and greatest on the market, and are gaining popularity. They have a few advantages over regular lace wigs, and may be the perfect wig for you.
HD lace front wigs are thinner, lighter, and more transparent than their predecessors. They are also much easier to blend into your own hairline. HD lace is also softer than other types of lace, and is more comfortable for sensitive skin.
HD lace front wigs come in a variety of colors. They can be dyed to match your own skin tone. HD lace is also a lot more durable than regular lace. They can last up to eight to twelve months with proper care.

PurposePlanar fluorescent optodes are important tools for probing key parameters, such as the soil pH, O2 level, and CO2 level, associated with the biology and biochemistry process in the rhizosphere. In this paper, we address an important limitation of existing optodes, their short lifetime due to the material degradation when buried under the soil. We report an approach based on encapsulating the optodes in black-dyed paraffin wax that enables long-term measurements in various soil conditions.Materials and methodsCommercially available planar pH-sensing optodes were encapsulated in black-dyed paraffin wax with an average thickness of 700 microns. The sensors are only exposed to the environment at defined times using a controlled light burst. A 3D-printed holder containing multiple microchannels was designed to support the optodes and help wick the melted paraffin during release. The performance of the encapsulated optodes was compared to that of non-encapsulated ones over different durations in different soil types with varying pH levels.Results and discussionThe lifetime of encapsulated optodes in the soil was significantly extended compared to non-encapsulated ones. For a 30-day study, we observed a 15-fold extension of the sensor's lifetime in the soil. The encapsulation method effectively protected the optodes from degradation, maintaining their response and accuracy. In a separate 7-day in situ study, we showed that this encapsulation approach enabled the optodes to function consistently and reliably for soil types ranging in pH from 6.22 to 7.91.ConclusionsOur novel encapsulation method significantly extends the lifetime of planar optodes in the soil. This approach enables long-term monitoring of the rhizosphere, providing non-invasive, real-time measurements at high spatial resolution. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Manchester United winger Ashley Young is prepared for the crunch Champions League encounter against Dutch side PSV Eindhoven at Old Trafford tomorrow.
The Red Devils lost the reverse fixture against PSV at the Philips Stadion as Hector Moreno and Luciano Narsingh’s goals helped the Dutch champions mount a famous comeback to win 2-1.
Memphis Depay had opened the scoring for Manchester United against his former club upon his return to the Philips Stadion, but his strike was in vain.
The match was marred by the horrific double leg break sustained by Red Devils’ left-back Luke Shaw after a shocking tackle from Moreno inside the penalty box.
— Ashley Young (@youngy18) November 24, 2015
The Old Trafford outfit currently sit at the top of Group B with seven points, one point ahead of PSV. If Louis Van Gaal’s men can register a win over the Dutch side then they will be in the driving seat to ensure qualification at the top of the table.
Young may start on the left hand side of Manchester United’s attack with Depay dropping to the bench, despite the latter scoring in Saturday’s win over Watford, to provide defensive cover on the left.
Depay started as the lone striker in the absence of Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney, however, Van Gaal has confirmed in his press conference that both are fit to start tomorrow’s clash.
The winger took to Twitter and wrote: Concentration face! Ready for the @ChampionsLeague tomorrow #mufc
The Red Devils are unbeaten in the Champions League following the opening day loss at the hands of PSV and will be looking to keep their run going. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Former Tottenham Hotspur skipper Ledley King feels the Premier League title race will have to go down to the wire if Spurs are to win the competition.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side, who are currently second in the Premier League with 48 points from 25 games, five adrift of leaders Leicester City, will face fourth-placed Manchester City in a vital clash tomorrow.
Tottenham have been very consistent in the ongoing campaign, having lost just three league games, the second-lowest in the division behind Leicester.
The north London outfit last won the league title in the 1960/61 campaign, with Spurs’ last trophy coming in the form of a League Cup in the 2007/08 season.
And King, who admitted that Tottenham were not expecting to challenge for the Premier League title at the start of the season, acknowledged that it has been some time since his former team won silverware.
“The team are probably ahead of schedule from what the manager was expecting the season”, he was quoted as saying by ITV.
“It has been a while since we last won something.
“But I think this season will go right down to the wire if Spurs are to win the league.”
Tottenham edged out Watford 1-0 in their last Premier League outing on 6th February. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Leeds United legend Eddie Gray expects Steve Evans to adopt a defensive strategy against Watford on Saturday in the FA Cup.
Evans’ men are odds on favourites to lose to Watford at Vicarage Road and exit the FA Cup tomorrow, but the Leeds boss has been keen to talk up his side’s chances of causing an upset.
Despite being 16th in the Championship, the Scot has always stressed the importance of playing good football, with an attacking mindset and his teams have often come up short against sides who sit back against Leeds.
But Leeds legend Gray feels Saturday might be different as the Whites are not expected to go on the attack against a more accomplished Watford side, who are ninth in the Premier League.
The 68-year-old is predicting a more conservative Leeds formation, with just one striker up front, as the club will look to stop an impressive Watford forward line, consisting of Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo.
The Leeds legend, previewing the match, said on LUTV: “I know Steve said that we can’t go gung ho.
“He may change the formation, play five in the middle and play one up front.”
While Leeds have conceded just once in the FA Cup this season, they have let in 34 goals in 31 Championship games. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
NINETY MORAY SECONDARY school pupils were yesterday treated to the first course organised by the Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) Moray.
The Lossiemouth High School pupils were the first to attend what will be a series of two-day ‘WorldHost’ courses for students interested in the Tourism and Hospitality industry.
WorldHost is recognised across the world as a standard of high quality customer service, and was received by all the volunteers at the 2012 Olympics.
The 16-year-old students attending yesterday’s event hosted by Johnstons of Elgin acted out scenarios that they could face in future retail, hospitality and tourism jobs. Moira Stickle, who is the developing manager for DYW Moray, commented: “The main thing we are trying to do is build career skills for young people.
“There has been a lot of feedback in that past that pupils are not ready for work when they leave school – there are a lot of discussions about that at the moment. This helps create links with industries so our young people can get as much experience and credentials as possible to get them ready for employment.”
Gail Cleaver, operations manager at Johnstons of Elgin, added: “It is going to be a huge benefit to the pupils to leave school with this extra qualification that shows them to be work-ready.
“Tourism is such a big thing in Moray that it will help them with a variety of jobs.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

These marinated beets are very simple to make in the Instant Pot. They’re easy to make ahead (you kind of have to make them ahead to allow them to marinate), and they’re easy to serve as a colourful side dish in the winter. Also, a great addition to your table for Sviata Vecheria.
These beets and mushrooms are a great side dish – or one of your twelve dishes for Sviata Vecheria. It works for summer as well as it does for Christmas. Bright and colourful. Make-ahead and served cold or at room temperature. It’s easy and no-fuss.
This is an easy salad and side dish for the spring and summer. Like many Ukrainian recipes, it has cream and then you add a bit more cream. It’s a rich salad with great garlic and beet flavours.
The Instant Pot speeds up the cooking time on your beets (or in my case, one giant beet). And, you can take advantage of spring garlic if you can find this special springtime treat.
This recipe isn’t a traditional Ukrainian-Canadian recipe. But, it’s all beets so you’re most of the way there. I’ve combined red and golden / yellow beets here but either kinds work. If you’re using both, keep them separated while marinating in the sauce – because red beets make everything red.
These beets can be made a day ahead. With some time overnight in the fridge, they become even more flavourful. A great make-ahead side dish for Easter. Continue reading “Instant Pot Beets with herb pesto”
This is my third recipe for borscht – a little different because this one is made (almost completely) out of canned vegetables. Bonus, there’s almost no chopping with julienne-cut beets in a can. Fast! Easy!
This version of borscht is meant for the spring or summer. It uses young beets and beet leaves along with fresh, summertime ingredients like dill, fresh peas and fresh broad beans. Don’t have those things? Frozen dill, frozen peas and canned broad beans make great substitutes.
Also, a new technique that makes Instant Pot borscht-making even faster!
Як ви готуєте борщ? (yak veh ho-too-yet-eh borsch) I’ve been learning Ukrainian with Duolingo. It’s been fun and sometimes frustrating. The other day, the lesson asked me Як ви готуєте борщ? How do you cook borscht?
Here it is. This is a vegan borscht with a lot of flavour, and it’s pretty straightforward. I save time by using pre-cooked beans and pre-cooked onions. A quick steam for the beets makes them easier to peel. And, dill and beet leaves (or swiss chard) adds a fresh flavour in the middle of winter.
Christmas Eve is coming soon, as they say. I say it’s the most important Ukrainian food holiday of the year. Twelve dishes!
For any cook, Sviata vecheria is an overwhelming meal to make. But, a lot of the cooking time can be sped up using the Instant Pot with the recipes here on Instant Ukrainian. Plus, your vegetarian friends and family members rejoice.
Beet leaf cabbage rolls may not make a lot of sense but they’re delicious and completely unlike cabbage holubtsi (holubchi, golubchi, golubtsi, whatever). Replacing the cabbage with beet leaves is a summer time treat.
Like many awesome Ukrainian recipes, this one finishes with being baked in cream. So, it needs to be finished in a regular oven because that cream totally curdles in the Instant Pot. A little extra time but totally worth it.
After some research, there are plenty of recipes around called beet leaf holubchi but with bread dough wrapped in beet leaves. My family always makes beet leaves filled with rice and plenty of dill. If you’re used to the bread dough version, try this one out!

Remote Magnetic Microengineering and Alignment of Spheroids into 3D Cellular Fibers
Noam Demri, Simon Dumas, Manh‐Louis Nguyen, Giacomo Gropplero, Ali Abou‐Hassan, Stéphanie Descroix, Claire Wilhelm
Developing in vitro models that recapitulate the in vivo organization of living cells in a 3D microenvironment is one of the current challenges in the field of tissue engineering. In particular for anisotropic tissues where alignment of precursor cells is required for them to create functional structures. Herein, a new method is proposed that allows aligning in the direction of a uniform magnetic field both individual cells (muscle, stromal, and stem cells) or spheroids in a thermoresponsive collagen hydrogel. In an all‐in‐one approach, spheroids are generated at high throughput by magnetic engineering using microfabricated micromagnets and are used as building blocks to create 3D anisotropic tissue structures of different scales. The magnetic cells and spheroids alignment process is optimized in terms of magnetic cell labeling, concentration, and size. Anisotropic structures are induced to form fibers in the direction of the magnetic alignment, with the respective roles of the magnetic field, the mechanical stretching of hydrogel or co‐culture of the aligned cells with non‐magnetic stromal cells, being investigated. Over days, spheroids fuse into 3D tubular structures, oriented in the direction of the magnetic alignment. Moreover, in the case of the muscle cells model, multinucleated cells can be observed within the fibers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Privacy Concerns Plague Non-Blockchain ‘Health Passports’
American Airlines has become the first U.S. airline to introduce a health passport as a requirement for travel, in what could soon become a global policy. The VeriFLY mobile app will be made available for travelers departing for all international destinations, in support of a U.S. government mandate that all passengers test negative for COVID-19 within three calendar days of travel.
While the use of health passports has been debated since the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of ensuring users’ data privacy has proven a major obstacle to widespread acceptance. Indeed, proposals by companies and governments all over the world has caused considerable alarm for their potential to create an oppressive digital system and deliver sensitive medical information into the care of governments and employers.
The case for health passes
It’s certainly true that health passports are an innovative idea that is getting its big break during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Rather than a paper document, it refers to an app or similar digital infrastructure that can prove the vaccination status of an individual, the presence of COVID antibodies in their blood, and whether or not an individual has recently tested negative for coronavirus. As the global pandemic begins its second year, such a system could prove a welcome change to the anxiety and uncertainty of 2020. In the European Union, calls for a European health pass solution demanding the highest level of data protection in line with the GDPR have been getting louder and louder, and it’s only a matter of time until widespread adoption becomes a reality.
In practice, however, there are several questions that remain to be answered. The most pressing is that of data security, because a centralized system for individual health records is fraught with risk. While a government database tracking the vaccination status of residents may be the easiest to deliver, the risk to personal privacy is objectionable to many, including civil liberties groups: “Digital IDs would lead to sensitive records spanning medical, work, travel and biometric data about each and every one of us being held at the fingertips of authorities and state bureaucrats,” argues Silkie Carlo, head of Big Brother Watch, saying “this dangerous plan would [also]…create a honeypot for cybercriminals.”
Blockchain vs artificial intelligence
In an effort to tackle privacy concerns, the debate within the tech community has centered on the merits of a health passport built with artificial intelligence (AI) compared to one built with blockchain. The advantage of the latter is the fact that it avoids the centralization of private data. In fact, blockchain is specifically designed to circumvent the security issues of more traditional databases, facilitating the storage and transfer of data in a wholly decentralized network. Although the technology is lauded by enthusiasts as the future of verified credentials, blockchain technology has, ironically, been omitted from all airline announcements in recent weeks.
Indeed, a number of blockchain-based solutions for health passes exist regardless of industry oversight. One of the most prominent of these is the Certus system, developed by Swiss security solutions provider SICPA, which would see blockchain-supported QR codes attached to documents that facilitate the authentication and verification of an individual’s health credentials. The system – and the information contained therein – operates without a central database and anonymizes every user’s medical results.
Despite the security advantages offered by blockchain, testing of AI-based systems is already well underway, with the UK racing into the initial live testing stage for a facial recognition-based health passport developed by technology providers iProov and Mvine. Meanwhile, another system developed by a group of organizations under the umbrella of the World Economic Forum is also entering the trial phase despite major privacy concerns: CommonPass.
The CommonPass app rapidly gained momentum last year thanks to wholesale adoption by the travel industry, with airlines United, JetBlue, American Airlines, and Lufthansa all announcing plans to introduce the same technology as a requirement for travel. However, the privacy protections of CommonPass have not yet been tested on a large scale, which has raised alarm bells across a range of industries. As Mark McCreary, co-chair of the privacy and data security practice at the law firm Fox Rothschild, explained: “I would be concerned with having all of that [health] information centralized with an organization that is not equipped to store healthcare information.”
While there is little doubt that a common, unified approach to a safe reopening of the global economy is desperately needed, the chances of such a rollout dwindles with every day that the World Health Organization (WHO) fails to lead the charge. As long as the WHO continues to rail against the use of health passes, governments will continue to pursue a hodgepodge of inadequate, and unsafe, systems. A return to normalcy, however strained, is no doubt on the minds of most people going into 2021, but at what cost? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
