The Cabinet Committee for Disposal of Legislative Cases (CCLC) adopted the safety requirements for the auto industry on Friday, which is an unusual milestone.
The federal cabinet will now receive the safety requirements for approval. Once passed, these rules will apply to the automotive industry.
The CCLC has authorised eight safety requirements for locally produced automobiles, according to specifics. These include air bags (PS:5576), safety belts (PS:5578 and PS:5579), child restraint systems (PS:5574 and PS:5575), electric powertrain for EVs (PS:5550 and PS:5551), and helmets for riders (PS:1402).
The Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority created these safety regulations (PSQCA). These requirements are fairly similar to Japanese requirements.
Due to the conflicting interests of three ministries, PSQCA had a very difficult time creating the national standards for automobiles assembled or manufactured in the nation.
The Ministry of Science and Technology, which oversees the PSQCA, the Ministry of Industries, which deals with the auto industry, and the Ministry of Climate Change, which strives to reduce carbon emissions, were some of these stakeholders. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Is it permissible to put on a “magic show” and is it permissible to attend it?
What we understand from the question is that a show was put on in the mosque by children, in which there was what is called “leger de main (sleight of hand)” or “magic tricks”. If this is what happened, then you did well by not letting your children attend that show, in which this evil action was done. The ones who approved of that and helped to make it happen have done something wrong, and this is exacerbated if the show was in the mosque and if it was done by children. We hope that they will not do this again. What they should be doing is raising Muslim children with decent morals and manners, teaching them beneficial knowledge and instilling in them the beliefs of Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa‘ah, without any contamination or confusion. If you want to advise them and denounce what was done, then you should do so in a gentle and kind manner.
It should be noted that the magic which Allah, may He be exalted, condemns and against which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) warned is that which may be called “the magic of illusion”. Allah, may He be exalted, mentioned it in His Holy Book, when He said (interpretation of the meaning): “Then behold, their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast” [Ta-Ha 20:66]. Allah, may He be exalted, called this action of theirs magic, and He called them magicians. Moreover, such shows may give the impression that magic and magicians are harmless. This was an error on the part of those who put on these shows in the context of educating children, in addition to the fact that it is a sin in and of itself.
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) was asked:
What is the ruling on watching the “magic of illusion”, whether that is in real life or on television?
It is not permissible to watch magic, whether it is real or is just illusions. It is not permissible because it is falsehood, and it is not permissible to witness or watch falsehood, because by watching it one has approved of it, unless he is watching it in order to denounce it and strive to put an end to it. In that case there is nothing wrong with it. But if he watches it and says nothing, or he tells others about it, this is haraam because it is idle entertainment.
End quote from the shaykh’s website: http://www.alfawzan.ws/node/4827
The shaykh (may Allah preserve him) was also asked:
Often during the summer vacation there are festivals that are held for leisure purposes, in which there are circuses, and they bring people who do things like tightrope walking or pulling cars along with their hair or eating live coals, and other such things. Some of them appear to be righteous. What is the ruling on these actions of theirs?
He replied: This comes from the Shaytaan, and these actions are from the Shaytaan; no one can eat live coals, or drink boiling water. How can he eat live coals? He is lying; it appears to the people as if he is eating live coals, but in fact the coal does not reach him and does not even come near his body. The same applies to the car that he pulls along (with his hair). It is not permissible for the Muslims to approve of these things, even if they call it illusion or artistry, or whatever they call it. We should not open the door to magic, witchcraft, and trickery. This is something that is not permissible and the authorities should prevent it. It is obligatory for them to prevent it right now and not to approve of it. None of the seekers of knowledge should keep quiet about this matter.
End quote from the shaykh’s website: :
If your question is about something other than what we have mentioned, then we hope that you will get in touch with us again and explain further what is meant. We appreciate your efforts to take care of your children and give them a sound Islamic upbringing.
And Allah knows best. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Wnenever I pop over to Hendersonville I like to try to make a point to drive or walk by my friend Wire Man at Gallery 435. He is HUGE and always seems to be dressed for the season whatever that season is.
Summer attire seems to be what Wire Man is sporting currently and I love it. Obviously the owners are happy to have folks take pictures with the great wire structure.
How can you drive by this and not smile? Happy Monday to all of you from me… and Wire Man. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
- IN VITRO FERTILISATION (IVF):
This treatment is used in cases where either the male partner’s sperm sample is not at its best or the female partner’s tubes are blocked. It is the most effective and most used treatment for infertility. Medication is administered to the woman to create several follicles. Oocytes (eggs) are collected from these follicles and fertilized with sperm in the laboratory setting. Three or five days later, the resulting embryos are replaced into the uterus and any remaining ones can be frozen for future use.
- INTRACYTOPLASMIC SPERM INJECTION (ICSI):
This procedure is used when the sperm sample is not considered to be of enough quality to be used in conventional IVF. This could be due to a reduced count, percentage of motile sperm or a reduced percentage of normally shaped sperm. A single sperm is selected and injected into a mature egg which then hopefully becomes an embryo. These embryos are replaced in the uterus in the same as in IVF.
- SURGICAL SPERM RETRIEVAL (PESA; TESA; MESA):
Sometimes no sperm is seen in the ejaculate but there may be sperm in the testes. Sperm can be extracted surgically either under local or full anaesthetic and used with ICSI for treatment.
- OVUM (EGG) DONATION:
This treatment is used when a woman’s ovaries have stopped working or have reduced function due to going into the menopause early; undergoing chemotherapy/radiotherapy, or for women who have not responded to medication while undergoing IVF themselves. Donated eggs come from anonymous women who must have undergone a series of medical tests, an assessment of their medical history and have given voluntary consent to undergo this procedure. They are normally no more than 30 years of age. The number of embryos that can be replaced is dependent on the country you are having the treatment done in but in most cases no more than 2 embryos are recommended.
- SPERM DONATION:
In the case of when the male partner does not have any sperm, if a woman is undergoing treatment on her own or with her same sex partner, the use of donor sperm will be indicated. Donor sperm is available at all the clinics we work with.
- EMBRYO DONATION:
This is where we use an anonymous egg donor’s eggs with an anonymous sperm donor’s sperm to create embryos tailored to what you want in terms of physical characteristics. Higher cost but with higher success rates and often spare embryos of good quality (due to the use of proven donors) for future tries.
- EMBRYO ADOPTION:
This where the embryos are already created and frozen and are most likely left-over embryos from a different couple’s treatment. The cost is a lot less than embryo donation, but the chances of success is often lower as these are ‘left-over’ embryos. There are no details given regarding the outcome of that couple’s treatment and often you are only given very basic physical characteristics. There are usually long waiting lists for these.
- BLASTOCYST TRANSFER:
In IVF/ICSI/egg donation treatments if there are number of good quality embryos available the embryos can be grown in culture for up to 6 days rather than 3 days to assist in selecting the best embryos for transfer. This is becoming the norm in most clinics rather than an earlier embryo transfer.
- FROZEN EMBRYO TRANSFER:
Should a fresh cycle be unsuccessful, or the couple wish a further child if successful and there were spare embryos frozen, these can be used to have a further attempt. Embryos can be thawed and placed into the uterine cavity at the most appropriate time either in a natural or medicated cycle. A medicated cycle is used in most cases as this gives a higher pregnancy rate.
- PRE-IMPLANTATION GENETIC SCREENING (PGS):
This procedure is used where there is a concern that embryos may not be chromosomally normal, for example, where there is a known genetic problem, a history of unsuccessful treatments or several miscarriages or if the woman is in her late 30’s or 40’s and she may be producing a greater number of abnormal eggs. A cluster of cells are removed from each viable embryo created once they reach the blastocyst stage and then tested for the 23 chromosomes to detect abnormalities. Only chromosomally normal embryos are then replaced. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Giant House Spiders in Louisiana
The giant house spider is very common in Louisiana. It was at one time thought to be venomous, but was proven to have little or no venom toxicity. The giant house spider can be found in dark corners of rooms, storage sheds, barns, bridges, fences, and other structures. This large spider generally constructs funnel webs on window angles and in corners. Although giant house spiders prefer to live outdoors, they are hitchhikers and can be brought indoors when they hide in boxes, firewood, or other belongings.
Giant House Spider Habitat
They are often found in garages or basements, as well as outdoors, in firewood, or in gaps between bricks or stones. They build webs with a funnel-like hole in the center, where they sit and wait for prey. The giant house spider is not an active climber and indoors can be found on the floor or trapped in sinks and bathtubs where it has ventured in search of water. They prefer to avoid contact with humans and hide during the day, meaning they are most often seen at night.
Giant House Spider Behaviors, Threats, or Dangers
Giant house spiders are most often spotted indoors during the autumn when they have reached their maximum size. These spiders are not aggressive and usually run away, very rapidly, when startled. Although it is rare, a bite from a giant house spider may occur when it feels threatened. However, bites are not serious and the giant house spiders’ venom is only harmful to individuals with specific allergies. Aside from its large size and threatening appearance, this spider does not pose much of a threat to people. Always contact a professional spider exterminator for help with giant house spiders.

Fatigue is merely an emotional expression of the subjective symptoms that develop as these subconscious controls wage a fierce battle with the conscious mind to ensure that the conscious ultimately submits to the superior will of the subconscious. ― Ross Edgley
In 2018, Ross Edgley became the first person in history to swim around Great Britain over a period of 157 days. This feat set the world record for the longest staged sea swim – 1780 miles. The Art of Resilience: Strategies for an Unbreakable Mind and Body, shares this journey along with a myriad of lessons about resilience. There is a temptation to view this as a book written by an extreme endurance athlete for other athletes. That would be a mistake. Edgely is describing his journey, but it is a journey that can inspire athletes and entrepreneurs and business leaders.
Portions of the book focus on the physical act of training and exercising. Readers will learn about fatigue, homeostasis, and the mind body connection. While Edgely is writing within the context of endurance athletics, it becomes clear that he wants readers to see the application to life. This comes into focus when he presents a Venn diagram that shows the crossover of the strong body, stoic mind, and strategic plan: unbreakable resilience.
Now, to be honest, the rest of the book is a description of his journey and the lessons learned. Most of these lessons deal with resilience and the physical challenges. The reader looking for business lessons or entrepreneurial inspiration should take a step back and try to see the lessons within Edgley’s journey. For example, in one of his chapters, Edgely writes about the importance of identifying the controllables in any circumstance. We may not control every situation, but we can always find the variables within our control.
Enjoy the stories. Be in awe of the challenges. Find the lessons for your journey.
The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then, do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own. ― Ross Edgley | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Power of Slowing Down
Three ways to “Slow Down” and “Speed Up” Your Success
Too much to do, too little time: this seems to be the mantra of our age. We all have too many emails, too many phone calls, and constantly feel pulled in a million directions.
And the stress of success can take an incredible toll on our health. A study released by researchers at Harvard Business School and Stanford University found that stress at work is just as damaging to a person’s health as secondhand smoke. (http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/03/health/stress-work-secondhand-smoke/ )
And if we want to advance in the workspace, do we all need to sacrifice our family life to do it? In her book “All Joy and No Fun, Jennifer Senior polled working parents with college degrees and discovered that 65 percent of them found it difficult to balance job and family. (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/05/upshot/stressed-tired-rushed-a-portrait-of-the-modern-family.html )
So what is the answer to achieving your career goals without sacrificing your health and family life to get there?
Define What Success Means For You
Are you loving the life that you love? What really matters to you? Do you dream of having a family, a house on the beach, helping others?
Oftentimes we lose touch with our real dreams in the manic shuffle of life. Perhaps your heart-felt goals were deemed “unrealistic” or buried beneath the criticism of friends and family. So dig up those dreams and take the time every day to “slow down” and connect with what uniquely inspires you.
Connecting with what matters is the best time management tool you could ever have. When you prioritize your time based on what you love, you may find that your workload naturally dwindles. You can easily eliminate the counterproductive items in your task list when you are stay connected to your top priorities in life.
Keep it Simple
Warren Buffet’s best business advice to Bill Gates was: “Keep Things Simple.” Simplicity has many implications and it’s an incredible secret to managing time, saving money, and eliminating drama.
One aspect of simplicity is the art of being fully present in the moment. It’s amazing how we can sit together in a meeting and yet be thinking of that ever expanding task list or browsing out bottomless inbox. And yet this simple act of full presence is not only refreshing, it can save an incredible amount of time and energy. When you are distracted, it’s nearly impossible to fully understand someone, fully comprehend a situation, or even sense if someone is telling a lie. Being fully aware, thoroughly hearing others, and assimilating the nuances of a situation leads to win/win negotiations, healthy decisions and a balanced bottom line.
Simplicity also applies to policies, procedures, and products. Challenges are an opportunity to evaluate the complexity of what lies beneath the challenge: has the overall structure become too complex or is the product too hard to use?
Take Care of Yourself
What does self-care have to success? Everything! You are not a disembodied mind floating in a tank; your true power lies within every cell of your body. Although much of our work these days involves intellectual prowess, optimal function of the mind requires optimal care of the body!
When your body is healthy, you are able to perform at your peak, connect deeply with what matters, and be fully present. When you take care of yourself, you can maximize your productivity, and avoid burnout, illness and fatigue.
So if you take the time to “slow down”, eat right and take care of yourself, you will save time and energy in the long run.
What is Time, Really?
Time is a strange thing; it has the ability to expand and contract seemingly at our will. We wish time would slow down when we are doing what we love. And we curse how slow the clock is moving when we’re bored at a meeting.
And although it has the ability to expand and contract, the irony is: our time here on earth is so very limited. And so in the end, if we take the time to “slow down,” we maximize the time we do have, so we have the time to do what matters. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Are you looking for new ways to prioritise your well-being? Men’s comfort and care have seen tremendous changes over the years. As society opens up about personal needs, there’s been a noticeable shift in how men approach self-care, intimacy, and personal comfort.
In recent years, one key area of development has been male sex toys (sexspielzeug für männer). These new trends reflect a shift in attitude toward men’s well-being, inviting them to invest in products that cater to their needs. Let’s explore how these trends are shaping men’s comfort and care.
Men’s Balanced Self-Care
The definition of self-care has expanded beyond grooming and fitness. Nowadays, it encompasses emotional, mental, and sexual health. Men are starting to recognise the importance of taking time to address their personal needs holistically. This includes focusing on both their physical and mental well-being. They are embracing products designed to enhance comfort and relaxation, reflecting a more balanced approach to wellness.
Normalising Men’s Sex Toys
Historically, discussions about men’s sexual health and comfort have been limited. However, there has been a growing acceptance that men, like women, deserve spaces to discuss their needs openly. This shift is making it easier for them to seek advice, experiment with new products, and prioritise their sexual health. One of the most significant changes is the normalisation of male sex toys. As conversations about these products become more commonplace, males are learning that using such tools is not only normal but can enhance their sexual experiences.
Comfort in Customisation
One of the biggest trends in men’s care is customisation. They are no longer satisfied with one-size-fits-all solutions, and products that can be tailored to individual preferences are becoming more popular. Whether grooming kits or wellness devices, customisation allows for a personal touch that elevates the experience. This trend highlights the importance of individuality in men’s comfort and care.
Mental Wellness Matters
Mental wellness is another area that is gaining attention in men’s care. Products that promote relaxation and stress relief are in high demand. Males are seeking solutions that help them unwind, both physically and mentally.
The growing popularity of mindfulness practices, meditation tools, and intimate wellness products reflects this trend. Taking care of mental health is becoming just as important as physical well-being.
Importance of Privacy in Personal Care
Privacy is a crucial factor in any personal care routine. For many males, the ability to care for themselves in a private and comfortable space enhances their overall well-being. Whether it’s grooming, skincare, or relaxation practices, having the freedom to focus on personal needs without interruption or external pressures is essential. Private time allows for reflection, relaxation, and personal growth, contributing to better mental and physical health.
The Influence of Design
Design is playing a significant role in the evolution of men’s personal care products. Today’s products are sleek, discreet, and user-friendly. The emphasis on ergonomic designs ensures comfort and ease of use. Whether it’s a grooming tool or an intimacy product, the look and feel of the product matter just as much as its function. The integration of design and technology is helping to create more effective, appealing products.
Social Acceptance of Men’s Self-Care
The idea of self-care for men has become more socially accepted in recent years. No longer is self-care seen as something exclusively for women. As societal norms shift, males are encouraged to take better care of themselves without fear of judgement. Males of all ages have embraced skincare, grooming, and wellness routines, reflecting a more inclusive understanding of what it means to care for oneself. This shift improves personal well-being and promotes a healthier outlook on masculinity, where looking after oneself is seen as a strength, not a weakness.
Nowadays, men are no longer restricted by outdated norms surrounding sexual health and comfort. The rise of male sex toys (sexspielzeug für männer) is just one example of how self-care is evolving. As these trends continue to grow, the future of male personal care will only become more inclusive, innovative, and empowering. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The arrival in Georgetown, Malaysia on June 2nd 2010 was a huge relief for the crew and marked a new phase in the voyage. Once again Jewel was welcomed with friendship and generous hospitality before she set sail on the last two short legs of her voyage.
Following the coast of Malaysia, Jewel now entered the Strait of Malacca, one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Here she faced a new danger. With no engine and only her sails to guide her, the tiny wooden ship had to take great care not to be run over by the huge container ships ploughing up and down the strait. at night this became a real challenge with the crew constantly scanning the darkness for warning lights and taking evasive action when necessary.
But this time nature was kind to Jewel – spectacular electric storms would periodically light up the night sky allowing the crew to see all around them – if only briefly!
After a brief stop in Port Klang in southern Malaysia, Jewel then began the final leg of her historic voyage. On July 3rd Jewel made a spectacular entrance into Singapore. Saluted by fireboats and with a huge crowd cheering her on, Jewel edged into Keppel Bay Marina at 5pm to a spectacular welcoming ceremony.
The crew received a warm official and public reception from His Excellency the President of Singapore S.R. Nathan, and His Highness Sayyid Harib bin Thuwaini Al-Said, Envoy and Representative of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said. Also present were His Excellency Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, George Yeo, Foreign Minister of Singapore and other distinguished diplomats, dignitaries and business leaders.
In a symbolic ceremony, the Jewel of Muscat was formally handed over as a Royal gift from Oman to the people of Singapore. After 67 days at sea and more than 6,500 kms of sailing, Jewel of Muscat had completed her mission with all her crew safe and well.
The following days saw great celebrations and, on July 10th, Jewel’s crew flew home to Oman to a heroes’ welcome. There were scenes of joy and jubilation as the crew members were reunited with their families.
In tribute to his bold and wise work as Captain of Jewel, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said awarded Saleh Al Jabri a Medal of Honour. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

La Fée, Gilbert QUIRIN c 2013
A symphonic poem composed in 2012.
A piece intended as a musical rendition of a magical encounter with a Fairy.
For children young and old and all those who are open to the world of dreams and fantasy.
Walking in the forest one day, a child catches a glimpse of a fairy just around a bend in the path.
At first intimidated by this supernatural, mysterious creature, the child hides and keeps a safe distance.
Curiosity, however, gets the better of the child and she gently approaches the fairy.
The fairy kindly asks the child if she has a wish she would like to make.
Trembling, she whispers her wish to the fairy.
The fairy explains that it will be difficult to make this wish come true. Then, determined to try anyway, she performs a series of complex, grandiose magic spells, which the child finds marvellous and impressive.
The child closes her eyes and wishes very hard.
When the fairy has finished her magic, the child opens her eyes to find out whether or not her wish has come true... | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A lottery is a game of chance in which numbers or symbols are drawn to win a prize. Typically, you must pay a small amount of money to enter the lottery, and the prize is usually some form of cash or goods. Lotteries are popular with people who don’t have much disposable income but still want to enjoy the fun and excitement of playing for a big jackpot. However, it is important to understand the odds of winning before you buy a ticket.
In the United States, there are several state-sponsored lotteries, and many private organizations run their own. Prizes are usually cash or merchandise, but they can also be services, vacations, or even a new car. Some states have banned the sale of lotteries, while others allow them and regulate them. The name “lottery” is derived from the Dutch word for drawing lots, and the practice dates back to the 15th century. The earliest recorded lotteries were held to raise funds for town fortifications and to help the poor, as documented by city records in Ghent, Utrecht, and Bruges.
Buying a lottery ticket is a form of gambling, and the chances of winning are slim. But, there are some things you can do to improve your odds of winning. One of the most important is to choose numbers that are not close together. Also, avoid choosing numbers that are associated with personal events, such as birthdays or anniversaries. Lastly, it is a good idea to play multiple tickets to increase your chances of winning.
You can purchase a ticket in many different ways, including online or at an authorized retailer. In order to purchase a lottery ticket, you must have proof of identity and age, and the lottery operator will verify this information before selling you a ticket. A ticket can be canceled or replaced if you are found to be underage or otherwise ineligible.
A big lottery prize can be a life changer, but it is important to prepare for the changes ahead of time. It is best to consult with an accountant of your choice to plan for the tax implications of a huge jackpot. It is also important to have a solid team of financial advisers to guide you through the process.
Americans spend over $80 billion on lottery tickets each year, and the jackpots are getting larger and bigger. Super-sized jackpots drive sales, and the publicity from these newsworthy prizes is a major boost for the games’ bottom lines. But while the jackpots may be growing, it is important to remember that the odds of winning are incredibly low. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
David Rung, Sports Information Director
WICHITA — R.J. Allen has been selected the next men’s basketball coach at Newman University, athletic director Vic Trilli announced Thursday.
Allen will be formally introduced as the seventh head coach in program history at a press conference at 11:30 Friday morning in the Heritage Room in Sacred Heart Hall on the Newman campus.
“After a long and exhaustive search, we’re extremely happy to have R.J. continue as a member of the Newman Athletics family and take the reins of our men’s basketball program,” Trilli said. “I’m excited to have someone who has called Wichita home for nearly his entire life in here to continue to build the success and visibility of our program. R.J. has all the tools and relationships to be a successful head coach, and I have no doubt that he will hit the ground running, beginning with filling his coaching staff and completing this year’s recruiting class.”
A Wichita native and graduate of Wichita East High School, Allen is excited to take over the only private NCAA Division II program in the state of Kansas.
“It feels great,” Allen said. “I am excited and blessed to have an opportunity to be here in Wichita, my hometown. I’m very appreciative of the chance to be here and to be chosen as the next person to lead this program. I want to thank my wife, who has a lot to put up with as a coach’s wife, and I’m thankful for it every day. I also want to thank my two sons, and my parents for supporting me along the way.
“I’m thankful for Coach [Mark] Potter, who gave me the chance to move back here six years ago and help me in my career, and Coach Trilli and the administration here for providing me with this opportunity.”
In six seasons as an assistant, including the past two as associate head coach on the staff of 19-year veteran Mark Potter, Allen helped the Jets to 88 victories, four trips to the Heartland Conference postseason tournament, and the team’s first NCAA tournament berth after a 20-8 season in 2012-13.
Allen played his prep career and the beginning of his collegiate career in South Central Kansas, becoming a two-time all-city and all-state performer at East High School and helping the Blue Aces to the 2002 6A state championship. He then went on to Hutchinson Community College, where he was named a team captain and led the Blue Dragons to a KJCCC championship with a 30-3 record in 2003-04.
After acquiring his associate degree from Hutchinson, Allen began a seven-year stay as a player and coach at Division II Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota from 2004 to 2011. There, he closed out the final two years of his playing career, and followed with two years as a graduate assistant before joining the staff as a full-time assistant for three seasons.
Allen helped the Golden Bears to their first 20-win season in 2006-07, earning a 21-8 record and a third-place finish in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, still the Bears’ best conference finish in 18 years as a member of Division II. Allen was also responsible for recruiting and developing five NSIC all-conference players at CU.
While in Minnesota, Allen also coached at Woodbury High School for one year, and worked with the 43 Hoops AAU basketball club for one season. Allen and his wife, Tia, reside in Wichita. They have two sons, Cameron and Kendall. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Siuslaw Elementary Principal Mike Harklerode says he expects about the same number of students this year as there were last year in grades K through five.
Mike Harklerode – “Based on last year’s number we should be right around the 600 mark. We’ve had more students so far. A good number, about 30 more students now have registered for this upcoming school year but, again, we haven’t yet had our list of drops and families who have moved away.”(click here to listen to quote)
Because of the amount of turnover in student populations this time of year, Harklerode says class lists won’t be finalized until Friday, September 2nd. New students that have not been registered yet can be signed up at the school Tuesday, August 30th, between 8:30 and noon. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

For anyone that is considering Frisco tree removal, you need to know the process for doing it. The city of Frisco in Texas is a popular tourist destination and has many attractions. Many of them are located right next to the airport and have flights from Dallas to Houston as well as from Dallas to Austin. The Frisco International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. It is the second busiest among the busiest airports in the United States.
Trees can cause a lot of problems when they grow too large and in areas that are close to runways or other things that are used frequently by the general public. Many businesses also use these areas as their parking lots. If the tree grows too large, there is a good chance that it will affect the way that business is conducted if it is not removed. There are many professionals in the area that are qualified to do the job that you need.
Tree removal services can also work in residential areas. Removing a tree can be a tricky and dangerous task if it is not dealt with properly. They have the tools, trained employees and proper safety precautions to remove most kinds of trees. However, they can also remove trees that are more stubborn and larger than they are. Sometimes a tree removals company will also include pruning in their service.
In some cases a tree might have grown too big for the area that it is in. The main goal of the tree removals team is to make the area safer and cleaner so that the people who live around the trees are not affected by the removed trees. Removing trees is part of the environmental responsibility of the area that they work in. They are trained to plant flowers and bushes that will replace the removed trees. This will keep the area looking neat and tidy.
Tree removal is something that should be done carefully. The space where a tree is to be removed needs to be surveyed first. The workers need to know the best way to cut a tree to get rid of all the deadwood and the poisonous parts of the root. The type of branch needs to be identified as well so that the correct saw can be used to cut it safely. A licensed contractor should be hired for all of these kinds of jobs.
The area where a tree has to be removed also needs to be declared safe for removing a tree. The workers need to make sure that there are no poison or insect eggs in the soil and that they are not near any electrical wires or water pipes. A crane must be used to extract the tree safely and quickly from the area. Having professionals help with this process makes it less of a hassle for the people that have to get the tree removed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Band (anthropology) facts for kids
In anthropology, bands are the tiniest societies, consisting typically of 5-80 people, most or all of them close relatives by birth or by marriage. In effect, a band is an extended family or several related extended families. Today, autonomous bands are almost confined to the most remote parts of New Guinea and Amazonia, but there were many others that have only recently fallen under state control or been assimilated or exterminated. They include many or most African Pygmies, southern African San hunter-gatherers (so-called Bushmen), Aboriginal Australians, Eskimos (Inuit), and Native Americans of some resource-poor areas of the Americas such as Tierra del Fuego and the northern boreal forests; all these modern bands are or were nomadic hunter-gatherers rather than settled food producers. Until at least 40,000 years ago, probably all humans lived in bands, and most still did as recently as 11,000 years ago.
Bands have no permanent single base of residence, instead land is used jointly by the whole group, as opposed to being partitioned among subgroups or individuals. There is no regular economic specialization, except by age and sex: all able-bodied individuals forage for food. There are no formal institutions, such as laws, police, and treaties, to resolve conflicts within and between bands. Organization is often described as "egalitarian" in the sense that there is no formalized social stratification into upper and lower classes, no formalized or hereditary leadership, and no formalized monopolies of information and decision making. However, this definition of egalitarian should not be taken to mean that there is equality in prestige and the decision-making process among band members. Instead "leadership" should be thought of as informal and acquired through qualities such as personality, strength, intelligence, and fighting skills.
Our closest biological relatives, the gorillas and chimpanzees and bonobos of Africa, also live in bands. All humans presumably did so too, until improved technology for extracting food allowed some hunter-gatherers to settle in permanent dwellings in some resource-rich areas. The band is the political, economic, and social organization that we inherited from our millions of years of evolutionary history. Our developments beyond it took place within the last few tens of thousands of years. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
This is a photo of my son on a walk. Just a little boy and his balloon, not a care in the world.
I’m not sure if you can tell, but his shoes are on the wrong feet. He insisted on putting them on himself. Big boys do it themselves, you know. He also doesn’t have a diaper or big boy underwear on beneath that t-shirt. Too big for diapers but not quite potty trained for big boy underwear. So he decided to go without.
The little boy in this photo tires me out. He knows every button to push and normally doesn’t listen the first time he is told something.
The little boy in this photo
gets me to raise my voice often, and I just may use his name more frequently than any other word in my vocabulary.
This little boy and I dance circle after circle in our kitchen, night after night. Not speaking a word to each other, but we never need to. They told me he would never talk, but I knew in my heart it would be in his own timeline. And sure enough, it was.
This little boy has shown me what it is to be at my wits end and within seconds, have my heart melt with his smile and sincere empathy.
This little boy needs Mommy to dress him and change him and bathe him and feed him and put him to sleep. This little boy needs me to kiss his boo boo’s and to be by his side the majority of the time.
Fast forward 3 years….
He no longer asks me to button his shirt for him.
His tiny fingers used to be too weak to do it on his own, but now he does it without my help.
He no longer asks me to carry him from the tub to his bedroom. This used to be one of his favorite things and yet sometimes I greeted this request with an exhausted sigh.
He doesn’t need me to wipe him nor do I need to pull up his sleeves for him to wash his hands. He puts on his own socks, and his own shoes and jacket. He brushes his own teeth and can take his own showers.
He doesn’t always call for me when he gets hurt, and it’s suffice to say that Daddy is his best friend.
I can’t remember the last time we danced in the kitchen, and it breaks my heart trying to recall when it was.
Today I watched my son play with a group of boys, and I just stared at him. Watching his interactions, his facial expressions, the way he moved. And all I could think about was the little boy walking down the sidewalk, who was holding his balloon. The little boy that needed me as much as I need him.
But today I didn’t see the little boy, I saw the young man. And it was a heart throbbing that may have been comparable to the morning they laid him upon my chest. Today I realized that as time continues to pass, he will need me less, and truth be told, I will need him more.
Today, my little boy seemed to disappear before my eyes, and if he even knew what I would give to go back to dancing with him in circle after circle in the kitchen.
My son will tell you he is no longer a little boy, but he will tell you that he is Mommy’s boy. And I will always recall my son walking down the sidewalk, just a little boy with his balloon, shoes on the wrong feet and not a care in the world, because his Mommy was right behind him should anything happen. Because good
parenting boils down to this. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Diabetes happens when a person's body can't use sugar normally.
In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas can't make insulin well. Without insulin, cells can't get the energy they need.

Getting a good night’s sleep is tough for some people on any given night, but concerns over coronavirus may be making it even harder. Anxiety and stress can make it challenging to snag the quality and quantity of sleep you want, but these bedtime tips from a sleep doctor and a psychologist can help.
- Acknowledge your mind might be fuzzy right now -Psychologist Helene Brenner points out that late at night we don’t have the same mental abilities, coping skills, and filters that we do earlier in the day. This means it’s easier to slip into worrisome and fearful thoughts as we’re trying to drift off to sleep. So when you’re feeling anxious before bed, try to remind yourself that things will look different to you in the morning.
- Make wake and sleep times ritualized and routine -According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, having regular routines is crucial for easing stress and anxietyduring this pandemic. So even if you’ve never had a regular bedtime or set wake-up time, starting to follow one now can help improve sleep quality. Sleep specialist Dr.Shelby Harris says sleeping in will only make things worse and she advises not getting into bed until you’re actually sleepy.
- Take a conscious break from the news cycle before bed -Not only does the blue light from screens have a negative effect on sleep, the constant stream of news you’re getting from your device probably isn’t helping you get relaxed and ready to snooze. Dr. Harris suggests cutting off the news and screen time at least an hour before bed and limiting news exposure to an hour a day.
- Remind yourself of the present, and that you don’t know the future -It’s easy to get caught up in “runaway thoughts,” but try to remind yourself that no one knows how things are going to turn out. Uncertainty can be unsettling, but Dr. Brenner advises acknowledging it and telling yourself that even though it’s hard right now, you’re going to make it through.

Hi friends! Happy Friday! Today I am sharing a Clean & Simple card using the Whimsical Blooms stamp set and the Flourish & Whimsy stencil by Catherine Pooler!
The sentiment is from a new set by The Greetery called Sentiment Suite: Birthday! I love all the fun birthday sentiments in this set.
I started this card by using my blending brushes to lightly ink the bottom corner of my card base using Twilight ink. I love the soft background this created. I then die cut and stamped the blooms and white heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black card stock. I added a few sparkly clear sequins to finish off the card.
I am adding this over at AAA Cards: Game 143
I will also add this over at Seize the Birthday
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Hi everyone! The newest Collection from Catherine Pooler Designs, Quint-Essentials featuring 4 new Apothecary Inks, will be available next week! StampNation members get to order early on June 7th. General ordering opens on June 8th.
The last bundle is called Just Because!
AND the 4 new Apothecary ink colors
My card today features the new ink colors along with new goodies from the Occasions Bundle!
I used all the new Apothecary inks except for Wintergreen & added in Tranquil for the blue. I did direct to paper on some scrap card stock and then cut it into strips and adhered that to my card. I then took the Scallop tag die from the Scallop Tag Duo set and cut a frame to add over top the strips of card stock.
I then used my MISTI to stamp the little rainbow and sentiment from the Every Occasion Sentiments stamp set. I added a little twine bow and that finished off this card.
Here's a look at the new colors with the previously released colors.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Milwaukee Studio Newborn Photographer
How gorgeous is this family of 5! I loved getting to know this awesome family, and working with their sweet kiddos! It’s so cool with all three of these kids being so close in age. Posing for the sibling shot definitely took a bit of work with them all being so young haha! Just one of the fun parts of being a Milwaukee studio newborn photographer!
Miss Aria sure is loved by her big brothers! We tried a few different poses, one didn’t work too well since her brother’s weren’t able to hold her head for very long. So we switched it up and laid Aria in this adorable cate with lots of pretty fur. I LOVE the sweet shot of Aria with the boys looking over her. Something that will probably never change as she grows up! Her big brothers always looking out for her!
As I said… like in my last post, many winter babies don’t like to sleep during their photos! Aria was no different, very awake for what I remember was..her entire session! Even with a full belly, a toasty warm studio, and lots of white noise she wanted to see what was going on! I’m glad we got so many great shots of her. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Band Of Boys Navy Cube Boy Tee
The Band of Boys Navy Cube Boy longsleeve tee is perfect for kids who love to make a statement with their clothing, from colour to fit to print. This rad tee features a large cube boy screenprint on the front and a smaller print on the back. We recommend pairing it with the matching shorts or BOB Navy joggers for that matching separates vibe. Throw on the Navy Cube Boy hood for a little extra warmth in winter. Crafted from soft jersey cotton, this boys’ tee boasts a step hem. The cut is anything but boring because we’ve made sure these tees are the perfect length and width without having to upsize. Xavier is 130cm tall and wears a size 10.

Hello Beauties !
Welcome back, we're super excited to show you some 90's inspired heatless hairstyles. Here are four super easy hairstyles that you can complete in just minutes for your everyday look.
1. Half up twist
For this hairstyle, we take just our fringe back and twist it around, away from the face. Bobby pin into place for a simple off the face look.
2. Twisted piggies
Separate your hair in half. Start with one half and twist it away from your face, adding more hair to the twist as you work your way down to the nape of your neck. Tie it up at the nape of your neck, and do the same to the other side. Let them piggies hang !
3. Rope braid piggies
Carrying on from hairstyle 2, separate one piggy tail into two working pieces and twist them away form each other. Once they are fully twisted, twist them around each other and tie them up at the end. Do the same to the other side. This ones our fave !
4. Twisted buns
Lastly we have our twisted buns. So following on from our rope braids, we want to wrap them around in a circle at the nape of the neck and pin them each into place.
Watch the full video for a twisty tutorial here below:

As the property sector emerges from the tumultuous waters of a challenging year marked by persistently high interest rates and soaring construction costs, the prospect of a more positive 2024 is on the horizon. In a recent article on Property Week, the spotlight is cast on the projects that are set to redefine the landscape of the property sector in the coming year.
Reflection on Past Challenges:
The echoes of a trying year for the property sector in 2023, characterized by the relentless battering of high interest rates and escalating construction costs, lingered on. However, the dawn of 2024 brings a sense of renewed hope and a shift towards a more optimistic outlook.
Anticipated Positive Trends in 2024:
The Property Week article suggests that 2024 has already commenced on a more positive note, teasing the anticipation of projects that could steer the industry towards recovery and growth. While specific details are not provided in the brief snippet, it prompts us to delve into potential factors contributing to this optimistic turn of events.
1. *Innovation in Sustainable Developments:*
As environmental sustainability takes center stage, projects incorporating innovative eco-friendly designs and construction methodologies are likely to shine in 2024. Expectations are high for developments that seamlessly integrate green spaces, energy-efficient systems, and sustainable materials.
2. *Technology-Driven Smart Cities:*
The rise of smart cities continues to gain momentum. Projects incorporating cutting-edge technology, from smart infrastructure to integrated data solutions, are poised to transform urban living. The seamless convergence of technology and urban planning is a trend to watch for its potential impact on the property landscape.
3. *Mixed-Use Developments:*
The demand for mixed-use spaces that offer a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational elements is on the rise. Projects that cater to diverse needs within a single development are likely to attract attention from investors and reshape the way we conceptualize urban spaces.
4. *Affordable Housing Initiatives:*
Addressing the global challenge of affordable housing, projects that focus on providing accessible and cost-effective housing solutions are gaining significance. Initiatives that prioritize affordability without compromising on quality could be pivotal in meeting the diverse housing needs of communities.
Projects to Watch:
While the specifics of the projects to watch in 2024 are not explicitly outlined in the provided snippet, we can speculate on potential areas of interest based on broader industry trends and emerging market demands.
1. *Urban Regeneration Initiatives:*
Cities undergoing regeneration projects are always of interest, as these endeavors breathe new life into existing urban spaces, creating opportunities for both developers and residents.
2. *Technology Hub Developments:*
Locations evolving into technology hubs and innovation districts are becoming key focal points. Projects in areas that foster technological advancements and research and development are likely to be closely monitored.
3. *Eco-Friendly Mixed-Use Developments:*
The integration of sustainability in mixed-use developments is a trend to watch. Projects that combine residential, commercial, and green spaces while embracing environmentally conscious practices are expected to gain prominence.
The anticipation of projects set to unfold in 2024 brings a sense of excitement and renewal to the property sector. As the industry navigates through past challenges, these transformative projects hold the potential to reshape the landscape, embracing innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity. Stakeholders keen on capitalizing on emerging trends and staying attuned to the pulse of the market will likely find success in the promising ventures that lie ahead. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Sec. 2. All areas within the State except those that are expressly designated by law for preservation and protection in their natural condition are liable to be altered by human activity. Natural lands and waters together with the plants and animals living thereon in natural communities are a part of the heritage of the people. They are of value for scientific research, for teaching, as reservoirs of natural materials not all of the potential uses of which are now known, as habitats for rare and vanishing species, as places of historic and natural interest and scenic beauty and as living museums of the native landscape wherein one may envision and experience primeval conditions in a wilderness-like environment. They also contribute generally to the public health and welfare and the environmental quality of the State.
It is therefore the public policy of the State of Illinois to secure for the people of present and future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of natural areas, including the elements of natural diversity present in the State, by establishing a system of nature preserves, protecting nature preserves and gathering and disseminating information regarding them, providing for appropriate use of nature preserves that will not damage them, establishing and maintaining a register of natural areas and buffer areas, providing certain forms of protection and control of registered natural areas and registered buffer areas and otherwise encouraging and assisting in the preservation of natural areas and features.

Words are powerful. God spoke, and the universe was created. Jesus, the Living Word, spoke through His life, teaching, death, and resurrection, bringing life to all who trust in Him. Scripture, the Word of God, continues to speak today, revealing the way to eternal life. God gave Moses the words of blessing for the priests to speak over the Israelites. As His priests and servants, what words will you use to bless others today?
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”—Numbers 6:24-26
Prayer: Jesus, Your words spoke forgiveness to those who crucified You, blessing to children, healing and strength to the hurting, and correction and encouragement to Your disciples. May my words today bless, strengthen and encourage those whom I meet, and most of all, point them to You. I ask in Your name, Amen. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Climate Actions For Governor Jerry Brown’s Final Term
New report on how California’s executive branch agencies can build on climate progress to date
In Paris this month, much of the talk related to California’s successful efforts to date in reducing carbon emissions while growing the economy. Certainly the state has made significant progress in areas like renewable energy and electric vehicles, and Governor Brown and his administration deserve a lot of credit.
But more progress will be needed to meet the state’s much more aggressive mid-century goals of reducing emissions 80 percent over 1990 levels. The state will need both to build on existing programs and to address new areas that are key to decarbonizing the state’s economy, such as natural resources, water and land use.
With just over three years remaining in Governor Brown’s final term, Berkeley Law’s Center for Law, Energy and the Environment (CLEE) is today releasing the new report “Climate Actions For California: Recommendations for Governor Jerry Brown’s Final Term.” The report details immediate steps that administration leaders, environmental and energy advocates, and other stakeholders can take to achieve additional short-term successes and create a foundation for long-term progress that endures beyond the administration.
“Climate Actions for California” contains recommendations based on interviews and a convening with Brown Administration officials, agency leaders, philanthropic representatives, and environmental experts.
Among the key solutions:
- A state data platform to better share existing data and collect new data on pressing environmental challenges, particularly on water management and renewable energy planning;
- Improved inter-agency coordination on climate actions, particularly on demonstration projects to reduce emissions that can quickly scale statewide and for collaborating on efforts with new sources of funding;
- More collaborative regional conservation planning to facilitate advance mitigation for new projects and smart development going forward, among other benefits; and
- Enhanced transportation and land use planning that achieves greater co-benefits on water management and resource conservation.
The report provides more detail on these and other recommendations and also summarizes the key challenges that many of the experts we consulted identified, as well as possible next steps and partnerships. Ultimately, these actions could help Governor Brown build on an already-successful climate legacy and ensure that the progress to date continues, not just in California but now across the globe in a post-Paris world. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Watch author Mark Greene on the vision behind Making Disciples for the Workplace.
Work. It’s central to the flourishing of individuals and nations worldwide.
Historically, however, church leaders have found it difficult to disciple people for the workplace.
Building on extensive field work in a wide variety of contexts, this short book offers fresh, tested ways for church communities to envision and empower working Christians to live, apply, and share God’s whole-life gospel fruitfully, day by working day.
Whether your church has five or 500 people in paid employment, Making Disciples for the Workplace is full of ideas that will benefit your whole community, including:
- Truths every disciple needs to know about their workplace
- Traits every church should show to consistently impact the confidence and fruitfulness of workers – and how those who aren’t in paid work benefit too

A great many LED flashlights in today’s marketplace operate with Lithium-ion batteries. This allows the lights to be very efficient along with the ability to produce hundreds of lumens of light. However many users, and gift givers often prefer flashlights that use standard batteries. This presents the option of buying either disposable, or rechargeable batteries. Lithium batteries (outside of store-bought AA size) are rechargeable only. This brings us to testing out the Jetbeam PA20 LED flashlight.
The PA20 features a CREE XP-G R5 LED, which produces a nice smooth beam and a bright corona. The reflector on the light I received is a light orange peel. Other models are available with a smooth reflector. Either way, the beam is cool white.
Beam distance on this light is very good and considered comparable to other lights in its class.
Let’s Talk Batteries and Power!
At 6.25″ long, the PA20 fits nicely into any pocket or purse and secures well with its included pocket clip. Its power source is 2 – AA batteries, either alkaline, or its rechargeable cousin, NiMH. The light features four lighting modes, lower-low, low, medium, high, and two flashing modes (strobe and SOS). Its lowest low is 1 lumen. On high, it pushes out 230 lumens. The PA20 is digitally regulated, allowing the greatest amount of light to be produced right up until the point when battery voltage can no longer sustain it.
Let it Rip!
Here is how this is accomplished.
If the head of the PA20 is completely tightened, each full click of the rear switch will turn the light on in HIGH mode. To access the other modes, and program it to the setting of your choice, the head must be gently loosened. At this point, (from the OFF position) each “soft” press of the tail cap switch will sequence the light through its modes. While sequencing, your mission is to stop pressing when you reach the secondary mode you desire. This is where I found it often necessary to run through the sequences more than once. Pressing of the switch must be done quickly, so when the light passes the SOS and strobe setting, it might be difficult to distinguish it from high. But whatever mode you halt the sequence on, is what it will display the next time you switch it on. High (or turbo) mode is always available by tightening the head, regardless of what the secondary setting is.
Let’s Wrap it Up
To summarize, the Jetbeam PA20 is a very good general-use flashlight. With the option of using standard AA batteries, it’s ability to provide instant bright light is unarguable. The addition of SOS and strobe modes are also helpful in emergency situations. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
My name is Serena and I’m a life-long Disney fan. I’m a wife and mom of two and I do web design as well as social media marketing. I lived in Virginia all my adult life until November of 2015 when I fulfilled my long-term dream of relocating to Orlando Florida. Now I live right outside of Walt Disney World (I can literally see the fireworks from my house every night.)
When we moved I started LivingbyDisney.com to document my move to Orlando as well as share all the Disney magic that I experience every day living right next-door to the mouse.
There are a ton of Disney and theme park fans out there who would love to be able to go to the parks as much as I do so I use my website and other social media platforms to share some of the magic with you guys. I use videos, Instagram and FaceBook to take you guys along with me for the day and show you what’s going on in the parks right now.
If there’s one thing I’m super passionate about, it’s helping everyone have the best, most magical experience when they visit Disney World. If there’s ever anything that you have a question about regarding Orlando, Disney, Universal Studios Florida, don’t hesitate to reach out and send me a message and I’ll be more than happy to try and answer!
I’d love if we could connect through email! Fill this out and get on my WDW insiders email list:

The initiative “1 in 6 by 2030” is spearheaded by Ed Kashi, Sara Terry, and Ilvy Njiokiktjien.
By the year 2030, 1 in 6 people will be over the age of 60, and this global, collaborative project aims to document the beauty and challenges of our aging society.
Photographers Ed Kashi and Ilvy Njiokiktjien, have both had a long interest in issues surrounding aging. They invited photographer Sara Terry, their colleague from VII Photo, who focuses on long-term projects, to join them in creating a multi-year, visual storytelling archive that documents an unprecedented moment in the history of humankind.
This initiative, the first of its kind, invites photographers from all over the world to submit to yearly prompts, which will culminate in a 7-year photographic archive documenting our aging society. In creating this framework, Kashi, Njiokiktjien, and Terry wanted to emphasize diversity, local representation, cost effectiveness and mindfulness about the impact of travel on the earth’s climate. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
When selecting an online casino, one of the key factors to consider is the available bonuses. Casino bonuses can enhance your gaming experience, extend your playing time, and potentially increase your winnings. Here are some tips to help you choose the right online casino bonus at platforms like https://hawk-play.net/:
1. **Understand Different Types of Bonuses**: Online casinos offer various types of bonuses, each with its own terms and conditions. Familiarize yourself with the common types of bonuses, such as welcome bonuses, deposit bonuses, no deposit bonuses, free spins, loyalty rewards, and reload bonuses. Understanding these different types will help you evaluate which ones best suit your preferences and gaming style.
2. **Read and Understand the Terms and Conditions**: Before accepting any casino bonus, it’s crucial to carefully read and understand the terms and conditions associated with it. Pay attention to wagering requirements, minimum deposit amounts, maximum bet limits, eligible games, and withdrawal restrictions. Ensure that the terms are fair and reasonable, and that you can meet the requirements within the given timeframe.
3. **Evaluate Wagering Requirements**: Wagering requirements specify the number of times you must wager the bonus amount or the bonus plus deposit amount before you can withdraw any winnings. Lower wagering requirements are generally more favorable, as they make it easier to meet the requirements and potentially cash out your winnings. Look for casinos with reasonable and transparent wagering requirements to maximize your chances of turning the bonus into real money.
4. **Check Game Contributions**: Not all games contribute equally to fulfilling the wagering requirements. Some games may contribute 100% of each bet, while others may contribute a lower percentage or even be excluded from the requirements. Make sure to check the game contributions and choose bonuses that allow you to play the games you enjoy and contribute significantly towards meeting the requirements.
5. **Consider Bonus Validity Period**: Most casino bonuses have an expiration date within which you must meet the wagering requirements. Be mindful of the validity period and choose bonuses that provide a reasonable timeframe for you to fulfill the requirements. It’s essential to select bonuses that align with your gaming frequency and availability to ensure you can make the most of the bonus within the given time.
6. **Research the Casino’s Reputation and Trustworthiness**: Before selecting an online casino bonus, thoroughly research the casino’s reputation and trustworthiness. Look for licensed and regulated casinos with positive user reviews, fair gaming practices, and reliable customer support. A reputable casino ensures that their bonuses are offered in a transparent and reliable manner, providing you with a safe and enjoyable gaming experience.
7. **Compare and Shop Around**: Don’t settle for the first bonus you come across. Take the time to compare different online casinos and their bonus offers. Consider the bonus amount, the percentage match, and the overall value of the bonus. Look for casinos that offer competitive and attractive bonuses that align with your gaming preferences and goals.
8. **Seek Recommendations and Reviews**: Consider seeking recommendations from trusted sources or reading reviews from other players to get insights into their experiences with specific casinos and bonuses. This can help you make an informed decision and choose a bonus that has been positively reviewed by other players.
By following these tips, you can select the right online casino bonus at platforms like https://hawk-play.net/ that suits your gaming style and preferences. Remember to always gamble responsibly and read the terms and conditions before accepting any bonus offer. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Eric Church Underwent Life-Saving Surgery for Blood Clot: ‘I Was Going to Die’
Eric Church had a terrifying health scare in 2017 that required emergency surgery to save his life.
Church tells Rolling Stone Country that he first noticed some odd tingling in his hands when he was finishing his world tour in 2017, but “I just associated it with nerves,” he says. “I didn’t think it was anything.”
In June of 2017, he was watching the College World Series and texting about it when he noticed that his left hand "was not responding like it should." He realized his arm was swollen, and when he took his shirt off and looked in the mirror, "my arm was noticeably red and enlarged."
Church had heard about people suffering thrombosis on airplanes, so he Googled the term. "I had five out of five symptoms," he says.
Get the News on Eric Church's New Single and Album!
The superstar drove himself to the hospital, where he was informed he needed an ultrasound they could not perform. By the time he reached another hospital, it was nearing 5AM, and he admits he started thinking about the worst that could happen.
“I was thinking about my family and kids, and how I wanted to make it back home. But I was also thinking about the tour, and what we went through. I looked back and I honestly felt pretty satisfied that I couldn’t have given another thing."
Diagnosed with a blood clot in his chest, Church asked, "Can it kill me?" When the doctors responded, "Today," he realized the seriousness of his condition.
"To them, I was going to die," he reflects. Church ended up undergoing surgery for a birth defect called thoracic outlet syndrome, in which in which the top rib is too close to the collarbone.
“There’s a major vein that runs through there, and when I would raise my arm, it would pinch it and damage the vein," he says. "The clot was where it tried to heal. But it kept backing up, backing up. And like any clot, when you get enough pressure, it’s gonna blow.”
Doctors told Church he was lucky, since most cases are discovered while people are in their 20s. By the time someone is his age, he says, "They usually just fall over in the shower."
After three days of recovery, Church underwent another surgery to have his top rib removed, followed by months of physical therapy and rehab. By September, he was back out on tour. He says he has suffered no long-term nerve damage; he can still play guitar, and in fact, "I play golf better than ever."

Over twenty years ago I discovered Erik Truffaz. I bought his record “The Dawn” and saw him live at the Jazz Festival Willisau for the first time. The sound of his trumpet and the music he created with his quartet grabbed me immediately. A few years later I had the chance to invite this band to the local music club in my home town during their release tour for the following album “Bending New Corners”. An integral part of his band was rapper Nya, who happened to grow up in the same town as I did and was happy to come back “home” to perform.
Ever since I followed his work and was now invited to present and talk about his music as part of the Jazz Collection broadcast on radio SRF 2 Kultur.

Backwardness is a clear decline in a person’s rate of growth. It might also refer to someone’s incapacity to rise to the occasion and meet the standards that are expected of them. When you have dwelt in one place or spot for an excessive length of time, you are troubled by backwardness.
God’s plans for your life include beginning to live in accordance with His purpose and will for you. However, when you begin to live below these standards, you have encountered the spirit of backwardness, and until you destroy it, it will continue to render all your efforts useless. Your life will continue to crawl along when it should be high in the sky, flying.

I first started ministering in a certain location, and I found that every week before the deliverance, I would constantly fight, eat, or do one unclean act or another in a dream. That was also intended to weaken my spiritual life before the morning of the deliverance. Once that happens, I wouldn’t be able to minister effectively that week.
After some time, I began to direct my prayers toward the altars that dealt with spiritual abominations, and the Lord delivered me. Evil altars are responsible for anything that diminishes your zeal, prayers, and spiritual strength.
When you are experiencing a “rise and fall” in your spiritual life, like in prayer, fasting, service to God, etc., there is an altar against you. Anything that happens to reduce your zeal, prayers, and spiritual ability is from evil altars. When you discover this, you cannot pray in a particular place because there is an evil altar there.
Are you content with how things are in your life now? If so, then you don’t need to pray these prayers. But if you are not satisfied with the way things are going in your life, then you need to cry to God for a change.
Prayers Against the Spirit of Backwardness
- I block the entrance gates of evil altars into my destiny, in the name of Jesus.
- Evil refreshments in the evil altars; cease, in the name of Jesus.
- As from today, I destroy evil invitations in the evil altars against my life, in the name of Jesus.
- Demons in the evil altars assigned against my life; kill yourselves with your own weapon, in the name of Jesus.
- Aggressive evil altar priests; scatter your altars and die, in the name of Jesus.
- Evil deposits in my life from the evil altars; come out and enter no more, in the name of Jesus.
- Any satanic law enforcement agent in my dream; go and arrest your sender, in the name of Jesus.
- Any congregation of demons against me; scatter, in the name of Jesus.
- Full deliverance; begin to take place in my life without hindrance, in the name of Jesus.
- Oh Lord, pull me out from stubborn altars that have vowed to render me useless, in the name of Jesus. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A website is your online platform which helps you in generating the productive leads for your business and the only website would be considered as successful which is helping you in driving the maximum conversions because this is the sole aim of any business. Now, to fulfill this aim, the whole efforts for creating a beautiful website page, adding attractive links, including innovative content, boosting a host of different peripherals etc are put into this so that it could help your business in getting good results.
Here the conversion cannot only be assumed when the user actually buys a product from your website but it also states the same when the visitors perform the same activity on your website which they were expected to do so. By visitors activities, we mean to say that it could be anything like clicking on the more information plugin, getting website subscription, registering on your website, sending you an enquiry and most important buying a product of course. Thus, to ensure all these things that users are expected to perform on your website, first your website should be capable of providing all these things to your users which could be conveniently managed by adding plugins to your website page.
So, today here I am going to provide which kinds of plugins would prove beneficial for your website and how you can productively utilize these plugins with the help of wordpress push notifications and Woocommerce Push Notifications as well.
The Safe & Secure Payment Gateways:
There are a lot of people who become extra conscious when they have to provide their debit or credit card details on any website. So, here you have to ensure your audience that online payment is extremely safe on your website by adding a payment gateway plugin on your webpage. Apart from this, you can also add a PayPal payment method on your website page as websites with both payment options have experienced the higher conversion rate comparative to others who have provided only one of these options.
Here, once you add these quick payment gateways on your website, then immediately let your audience know about these for which you can easily utilize the WordPress Push Notifications. So, inform them about the easy payment options via productive push notifications and increase conversion rate for your website.
The Effective Website Speed:
The speed of your website is definitely a crucial element for your audience. Here, in this speedy and competitive world, your users’ every second counts so make sure that you are providing them a required level of website speed by which they don’t get irritated while scrolling your website pages.
Here if you feel that your website speed is currently slow then you have to be concerned about this and take immediate action on this as well. Because a website with huge loading time directly affects the rate of average visitors as they could rapidly decrease up to 7% within a second. Further, your users will only get bad experience from your webpage which is going to prove disadvantageous for your business in terms of low conversion rate and low income as well.
Now for boosting the speed, here you can use various speed enhancing plugins which will help you in making your website experience better as the good speed will eventually make the page navigation smooth.
The Interactive Reviews and Ratings Plugins:
There are more than 70% of the users who usually check website’s reviews and ratings before making any kind of purchase from a website. So, if a website has positive ratings and reviews from their previous customers then it could eventually increase the conversion rate up to 75% more as comparative to the existing one.
Further, website ratings and reviews not only help the visitors but it also helps the website creators in terms of defining what should be sold and what should be not as the good ratings will eventually create more demand for the products and bad ratings will disappear those products.
Thus, your website also requires this must have plugin which will help you in collecting the positive reviews and ratings from your happy customers which will further increase your conversion rate. But only having a reviews and ratings plugin on your page would not be enough until and unless you add users input on that. Now, for adding users input on your webpage, first you have to let them know about this which you can easily do by utilizing the woocommerce push notifications where you can send the ratings link directly on their devices.
Adding icons to your WordPress website boosts conversion rate. Read what the ways are to use WordPress icon fonts and what plugins to use for it.
Here, from the above discussion, we can conclude that for optimizing the conversion rate for your website, you literally have to put in certain efforts. So, we have provided you with some easy and quick plugins which eventually reduces your efforts and provides you with a better conversion rate for your ecommerce website. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
He denies involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance from a Praia da Luz in Portugal in 2007.
Madeleine was three years old when she went missing from her family's holiday flat in Portugal in 2007.
Her parents had left her sleeping with her siblings while they had dinner at a nearby restaurant and realised at about 10pm that she was gone.It remains one of the world’s most famous missing person cases.
Brueckner was identified as the prime suspect *in her disappearance by German investigators in June 2020, in what they have classed as a murder inquiry. Mr Stampa said he could give details of the email evidence because it was ‘related to the killing’ of Madeleine McCann, according to MailOnline.
Mr Stampa told the Braunschweig regional court there was an incriminating email allegedly possessed by Brueckner.
He declines to give details on whether the emails recovered included photos or videos.
The investigator claimed police had found a second account where the convicted paedophile had shared images of child abuse with other abusers.
He had allegedly deleted all emails from that account in early 2007 close to the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.
Prosecutors received access to the emails after making an application to Microsoft in 2019. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Each spring, broadcast and cable networks present their programming for the upcoming season to media buyers in events known as “upfronts.” The goal is to convince the buyers to commit to ad deals for shows months, or even years, away. And even though digital media continues to grow, television is still the most cost-effective ad medium for large-scale campaigns.
During the the height of cable television (between the predominance of broadcast and streaming media) upfront kits were often lavish productions. Our work for the Sci Fi channel began by looking for the strangeness of science fiction outside traditional science fiction resources.
We landed on a concept evoked by Jorge Luis Borges’ “The Library of Babel.” A library which contained all possible orderings of just 25 basic characters — an alphabet of 22 letters, the period, the comma, and space.
Though most of the books in this library are pure gibberish, it also contains every coherent book ever written, or might be written, and every possible permutation of every one of those books. The library must contain all useful information, including predictions of the future, biographies of any person, and translations of every book in all languages. And for the gibberish texts, some language could be devised that would make it readable.
Such a situation contains an aspect of infinity. And Borges’ narrator suggests that the library might repeat itself periodically.
So to create this “Borghesian space,” we designed a book binding where there was no front, no back and no middle. It kept repeating. This resulted in a series of pockets (where the details of each show were contained) gathered in a non-traditional binding, which centered around a transparent axis.
The possibilities of science fiction were emphasized typographically, by highlighting the “if” contained in the words “Sci Fi.” This simple move was repeated in all marketing by the channel for years, until it was renamed with the neologism “Syfy.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Nearly all villains Luffy has face or the villains of arcs have been mostly based off animals. While not all are animals the majority are.
Arlong-Saw tooth Shark
Smoker-Not being counted
Crocodile- Is named Crocodile
Rob Lucci-Has Leopard...
How do we define who is a tyrant and who is evil, or even lawful evilness? The topic does intrigue many of us, doesn't it?
Looking at the definition in the dictionary, it says tyranny is:
a state under cruel and oppressive government.
rule by one who has absolute power without legal right... | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Today is National Poem in Your Pocket Day. This day was created in 2002 in New York City as part of the city's celebration of National Poetry Month. In 2009, the Academy of American Poets promoted the idea nationally.
The idea is simply to share poetry. Print out or write out your favorite poem, make copies and hand them out throughout the day. The Johnson County (Kansas) Library, which partners with The Writers Place to post a Poem-A-Day in April, prints bookmarks with those same poems for Poem In Your Pocket Day. Or, if you prefer to take advantage of today's technology, text, tweet, email or post your favorites. And, don't forget the art of spoken word.
See if there are any special celebrations in your area. Most importantly, share some words you love today.
Here is Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken", read by the poet himself.

My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry.

I can’t remember the exact date I started supporting City. When I was seven years old my only interest in football was joining in the kickabout at playtimes in primary school and watching the results come in on Saturday afternoon Grandstand. I used to pick a couple of teams to follow, to see if my taking an interest in their fortunes would affect their results favourably, and uncannily it worked! One of these teams when I was about nine years old was Manchester City.
I made a very important decision around this time, the decision that City were to be my club, one of the main reasons being that I could enter into playground arguments with the kids who were supporting the successful Liverpool and the Man United. I think it’s important to note here that I live in Builth Wells, a small market town in Mid Wales, a town dominated by rugby union and a town miles from any football league ground, Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham and Hereford are all a long way away and for a boy of nine could have been just about anywhere.
Anyway the season of 84/85 culminated in City’s promotion back to Division 1. I remember the day of the 5-1 victory over Charlton that sealed promotion well. This time it wasn’t a team that I had taken an interest in that had won promotion, they were my team. It was also the time of the Bradford fire disaster and I must admit that if City hadn’t gained promotion that day I could well have become a Bradford fan in sympathy, but since that day I have never wavered in my support of City. However, life went on, I followed City on grandstand and was an ‘armchair’ fan. I wasn’t really that interested in football for many years; City not winning anything may indeed have had something to do with it, but I followed their ‘progress’ in the newspapers. Eventually I went to London to become a student and really had no funds for an expensive trip to Manchester, and instead went to watch local side Enfield on a Saturday.
My first City match arrived when I got my first paycheque. It was the draw against Portsmouth on the opening day of the 97/98 season! Then the next week I found myself in the car, stuck on the M6 near Birmingham on a bank holiday weekend going up to the second match of the season for the visit of Tranmere and I haven’t looked back since. I now regularly make the trip up to Maine Road to see the Super Blues, and my biggest regret being not having saved up the money earlier so I could have stood on the old Kippax.

Defining ROI and ROAS
Return on investment (ROI) optimizes to a strategy while return on advertising spending (ROAS) optimizes to a tactic, yet some marketers use these terms interchangeably. ROI measures the profit generated by ads relative to the cost of those ads. It’s a business-centric metric that is most effective at measuring how ads contribute to an organization’s bottom line.
ROI = (profits – costs) x 100 / costs
In contrast, ROAS measures gross revenue generated for every dollar spent on advertising. It is an advertiser-centric metric that gauges the effectiveness of online advertising campaigns.
ROAS = revenue from ad campaign / cost of ad campaign
With ROAS, marketing is considered a necessary cost of doing business, whereas, with ROI, marketing is an investment to grow a business’s profits incrementally. While using both metrics in tandem is useful, the pendulum is swinging back from the widespread use of the ROAS-focused model in digital advertising to a more rigorous ROI-focused model.
Cost Versus Investment
Tracking to ROAS can increase advertising expenses across all channels , especially if marketers treat advertising as a cost while seeking additional market share. The focus on an expected profit margin would keep bids and spending in check. Ad vendors push this metric, but it can lead to advertisers feeling a need to spend budget without truly understanding the incrementality of each additional dollar of media spend. Much of our advertising is multitouch. ROAS does not measure the true impact of one channel on another, such as emails’ impact on display, or offer an understanding of the incrementality of ad-dollar investment, which the ROI metric provides.
Today, consumers interact with ads and content across multiple channels and devices before converting. This changes the dynamic for media agencies and ad vendors, forcing them to modify their business models and pricing to become focused on driving business performance, not just advertising performance. As a result, advertising vendors must evolve into stewards of advertisers’ ad dollars, with a focus on measuring how advertising impacts clients’ business through ROI, rather than optimizing to ROAS, their own advertising-based metric.

“Embracing the Madness: Miley Cyrus proudly owning her quirky sense of humor”
In a recent chat with Sunrise TV in Australia, Miley Cyrus revealed that she doesn’t mind being labeled as crazy because she fully owns up to it. The singer playfully poked fun at herself and her larger-than-life stage persona, joking that she’s basically a “walking joke.” It’s clear that Miley doesn’t let negative comments about her wild image faze her, and she’s even starting to embrace the crazy label that some people have given her.
Later on in their discussion, she mentioned, “I don’t really care if people think I’m crazy because, to be honest, I am a little bit. Growing up, I was influenced by icons like Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton, who definitely aren’t your run-of-the-mill kind of people.”
Miley Cyrus, an American celebrity known for her diverse talents, has long been recognized for her unique sense of style, daring fashion choices, and unconventional antics. Embracing her individuality, she recently shared that she’s fine with being labeled as “crazy” and jokingly refers to herself as a “walking joke.” Throughout her impressive career, Miley has undergone various transformations and continued to explore her artistic identity. From her early days on Disney Channel as Hannah Montana to her bold entrance into the pop music scene, she has always challenged the norm and exceeded boundaries with her eccentric performances and fearless fashion statements, provoking discussions and making headlines along the way.
In the world we live in today, many well-known figures aim to carefully mold their image, but Miley Cyrus stands out by being genuine and open. She is unapologetically herself, embracing her “wild” nature without holding back. This attitude reflects a larger trend in popular culture where artists and people alike prioritize self-expression and individuality over fitting in with the expectations of society.
Miley Cyrus’ fearless attitude and genuine self-expression, even in the face of criticism, is truly commendable. Her fans find solace in her message of self-love and are motivated by it. As conversations around mental health and self-discovery grow in significance, Miley’s boldness in being herself contributes to the dialogue on embracing one’s own distinctiveness and personal identity.
Basically, Miley Cyrus’s honest comments solidify her position as a well-liked and powerful figure in the entertainment world. She encourages others to embrace their uniqueness and stay true to themselves, even if they are labelled as “out there.” According to her, and many others in showbiz, staying authentic is something worth cheering for, and Miley Cyrus is at the forefront of this empowering trend. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

ATLANTA, Ga.—– Atlanta based MELT (Marketing Entertainment Lifestyle and Trends, www.meltatl.com), a fully integrated sports and entertainment marketing agency, is proud to have helped produce an NCAA March Madness partnership with POWERADE and 7-Eleven.
MELT helped develop and produce four Miracle Match-up Big Gulp Cups along with POWERADE and 7-Eleven, each of which features a unique and memorable player from NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament history. A custom Quick Response (QR) code on each Big Gulp cup links to a mobile POWERADE website where CBS Sports Analyst Greg Anthony hosts a brief video on that cup’s featured big play.
“MELT is so proud to work with POWERADE and 7-Eleven on this innovative March Madness program”, said MELT CEO Vince Thompson. “Leveraging new media to create digital extensions for brands in the collegiate space has become a specialty for our agency, and the credibility of Greg Anthony really makes this a slam dunk initiative for all involved.”
Mountain Berry Blast, flavored by POWERADE, on both Slurpee frozen carbonated beverage and Big Gulp fountain machines, serves as a special flavor for the four unique cups. This is the first time a POWERADE flavor has been developed for a 7-Eleven frozen carbonated beverage.
Each of the four collectible Miracle Match-up Big Gulp cups features a stand-out former NCAA basketball student-athlete during a game-changing play. Team players featured are Taliek Brown, who in 2004 led the Connecticut Huskies to an upset of number one seeded Duke in the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Semifinals; Lorenzo Charles, who famously led the 1983 North Carolina State Wolfpack to their second NCAA Men’s National Championship with a game-winning dunk, North Carolina State Wolfpack; Jon Bryant, sharpshooter for the 2000 University of Wisconsin Badgers, who tied a NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament record with seven three-pointers in the first round; and Tony Skinn, who powered the 2006 11th seeded George Mason Patriots to a shocking Men’s Final Four birth.
“MELT has been part of the “madness”, working with the Coca-Cola Company on the NCAA Final Four for the past decade,” said Thompson. “We are honored to work on behalf of the Coca-Cola Company on the largest event in collegiate athletics once again.”
MELT LLC is an Atlanta-based integrated marketing firm focusing on sports and entertainment, particularly in the professional, collegiate, entertainment and racing arenas.

If you haven't already visited this link, it gives you a brief history on several of the companies here in the U.S. that manufacutured these torches for utility and highway purposes from the mid 1920's into the 1960's. Torches in reasonably good condition generally go for $20 to $40 USD on ebay although I have seen new old stock sell much higher on ebay. New 1" wicks can be purchased from the Kirkman link on this site. They make a good patio torch or conversation piece if you know a little history about them. I collect them because I am in the highway business and I like to collect historical items from my trade as a public works engineer.

You never have to worry about scratches or punctures on your tent when setting up camp on uneven grounds or under terrible conditions with the Imperial Motion Nano Cure Tent. This makeshift shelter is highly advanced than any of its kind and built for all terrain and weather.
This tent from the Washington-based lifestyle brand lives up to its name. It has the ability to reseal holes or repair on its own with just a rub of a finger. Its Nano Cure technology—a combination of NCT, a lightweight and water-resistant nylon ripstop, and special double-sided coating–makes the self-healing possible.
The reinforced fibers of the ripstop create further support around the hole, which helps with the restoration. All it needs is the heat of your fingers to fix small punctures or lacerations.
The Imperial Motion Nano Cure Tent takes three minutes to set up and is easy to take down and pack into its designated bag. It also has a large capacity and can accommodate four people. It is water-proof, has a canopy, a mesh ventilation, rain fly, and a tarpaulin bottom to keep the interior dry.
This innovative tent sells for $200 and comes in four colors: soft blue, asphalt, olive, and rust.

You know fish is good for you, but shopping for it is dicey. Much of the fish behind the counter is mislabeled, or not exactly fresh. And even if you can trust the labels, there are just so many of them: Should you buy Australian or elsewhere? Wild-caught or farmed? Follow these six steps to guarantee you bring home the freshest, tastiest, and healthiest filet.
1. Keep the Skin On
Fish such as salmon, mackerel, and lake trout bring a healthy dose of omega-3s to the table. Skip the skin and you’re not maxing out on these good fats, says dietitian Robert Lazzinnaro. Chef Tenney Flynn of GW Fins crisps the skin this way: Melt butter in a pan over medium high. Scale the fish and score the skin in a crosshatch pattern; season both sides. Start skin side down; cook 3 to 4 minutes. Flip. Repeat. Eat.
2. Beware of Deception
A 2016 review by the advocacy group Oceana found that seafood worldwide was mislabeled 19 per cent of the time. That means you could be paying steep cod prices for cheap tilapia. The most commonly mislabeled varieties: Asian catfish, hake, and escolar. Ask the fishmonger where the fish is from and how it was caught. If they can’t answer, then they probably don’t know what they’re selling either.
3. Shop with Your Senses
First, take a look at the fish. Does the flesh or skin appear dry, dull, or dehydrated? If it’s sold whole, are the eyes murky or cloudy? These are all telltale signs that a fish has been sitting behind the glass for too long, says Eddy. Then ask to smell the fish. Yes, smell it. “Fresh seafood has a briny smell, like the ocean. It does not smell fishy,” Eddy says. If it has a pungent funk, that’s a sign of bacterial decay. Throw it back.
4. Buy the Farm – Sometimes
“Wild caught” used to be the nutritional gold standard. But some farmed seafood, especially shellfish like mussels and clams, can deliver big on nutrition. Plus, they’re sustainable, according to the nonprofit Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program. One exception: salmon. A 2016 British study found that farmed salmon’s payload of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids could be as low as half that of wild-caught salmon.
5. Ice That Baby
Fish spoils easily unless it’s properly chilled. So bring a cooler and ice packs to the store if you’re planning to buy seafood. When you get back home, place your catch (still in its wrapping) in a bowl of ice and stash it in the refrigerator. “For every few degrees over 0°c , you shorten the shelf life of the fish by half,” says Flynn. If the ice melts, repeat the process. Ideally, however, you should eat fresh fish the same day you buy it, Flynn says.

Yang, T.; Yang C.; Sun, Z., and Feng, H., 2015. PSC Ship-selecting model based on improved particle swarm optimization and support vector machine algorithm.
Towards the weakness of BP neural network, an efficient PSC ship-selecting model combining improved PSO and SVM algorithm is developed in this paper. The scheme is validated by demonstration analysis of actual data from “THETIS” Inspection Database that the accuracy is 97.619%, while the time complexity is reduced efficiently. This PSC ship-selecting model is very suitable for the scenario of limited inspect resources for rapid ship classification, which certainly has much great significance for PSC targeting. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Just went to see this film at the cinima it was good but thay did
not stick to the book at the end and made it into another "its all
better at the end film"
Anyway to the transformations. Most of the transformations occour due to the improbability drive
on one of the spaceships "it generates a field of improbabilty till
a point where the improbabilty factor is exsactly the amount needed
to jump from where you are to where youre going" as a side effect
the crew of the ship and suronding space are effected by improbabal
things mostly involving being transformed into somthing. the first
was the two being turend into sofas then wool pepole, the ship also
changes into random things like flowers, at one point two nukes are
turned into a sperm whale and a bowl of flowers, very funny :)
thier is also a piont where ford prefect goes to see his old
girlfreind but she has grown massive "you only see her feet no
near the end thier is a scean whith a gun that lets the person you
fire it at see youre point of view a women fires it at a man and he
starts to think like the women "no transformation".
Go See It.
sry spelling :(
