Datuk Who Died In Lamborghini Crash Gets Sent Off By Rolls-Royce And 11 Other Supercars
A businessman who died in a car crash last week was honoured with a convoy of 11 supercars and a Rolls-Royce yesterday, 4 July
According to the New Straits Times, the 62-year-old man, Fung Swee Yen, lost his life in a fatal accident at KM57 of the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway at 8.45am on 30 June while driving his Lamborghini Huracan.
Oriental Daily reported that Fung, who held a Datukship, was driving his supercar with six other friends to Bentong, Pahang, to eat durian.
During the journey, he reportedly lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a divider on the highway. Members of the public rescued a 47-year-old female passenger from the front seat after the supercar caught fire.
To pay their last respects, Fung's family and friends organised a convoy of supercars to accompany his hearse on Thursday
According to China Press, the convoy included five Lamborghinis, two Ferraris, two Porsches, a Mercedes-Benz, and a Nissan GTR.
Nearly a hundred people, including members of the Singapore and Malaysia supercar club, were present to send Fung off.
His daughter told reporters that the hearse and the convoy drove past her father's electric metre parts factory in Kota Damansara in Petaling Jaya before heading to the funeral ceremony in Kuala Lumpur. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
KL Pharmacy Hit With RM20,000 Fine For Hiking Up The Price Of Face Masks
A pharmacy in Selayang, Kuala Lumpur was recently compounded a total of RM20,000 for selling face masks at a high price
An enforcement officer went undercover as a customer and found that the pharmacy was selling two-ply face masks at RM1 each
Meanwhile, the controlled price is only RM0.20 each.
Following complaints from the public, KPDNHEP Gombak branch chief enforcement officer Azli Aripin ordered for the pharmacy to be investigated.
The pharmacy is required to pay the fine within 14 days
According to Astro Awani, the punishment is in accordance with Section 11 of the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act.
Azli also added that the officials seized a total of 45 face masks worth RM45. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Effectively help relieve tired aching legs and swollen ankles. Flight Socks are designed to be worn in place of normal socks throughout journeys. Long journeys can cause circulation problems. Passengers often experience tired legs and swollen ankles and feet. When you travel by air, the cramped conditions, reduced air pressure and mild dehydration can all make this worse. A more serious circulation problem is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), this is when a blood clot develops in a deep leg vein. Scholl Flight Socks help to prevent these problems by applying gentle pressure to improve blood flow. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The wearing of face coverings will become mandatory in communal areas of all secondary schools from Monday.
Following the announcement of the government’s decision to hold another month-long lockdown from this Thursday, the Department for Education has published updated guidance for schools.
Until now, face coverings in communal areas have only been mandatory in some areas subject to local lockdown restrictions. This change extends the requirement to schools nationwide.
Paul Whiteman, general secretary of the school leaders’ union NAHT, said it was “ridiculous that this new guidance has landed on school leaders’ desks less than 24 hours before the start of the national lockdown. There is very little in the guidance that could not have been communicated with schools 72 hours ago.”
The guidance states: “In schools where pupils in year 7 and above are educated, face coverings should be worn by adults and pupils when moving around the premises, outside of classrooms, such as in corridors and communal areas where social distancing cannot easily be maintained.”
The DfE expects schools “to ensure any changes required in light of national restrictions are in place as soon as practically possible, and by Monday November 9 at the latest”.
However, the guidance goes on to say that “some individuals are exempt from wearing face coverings and we expect adults and pupils to be sensitive to those needs”.
Face coverings “should also be worn by pupils in year 7 and above when travelling on dedicated school transport to secondary school or college”.
Coverings are not needed in primary schools and other settings that teach year 6 and below, but the government said these institutions will continue to have the “discretion” to recommend the use of face-coverings for adults on-site where social distancing is “not possible”.
DfE suspends its ‘contain framework’ of tiered restrictions
The DfE has also confirmed that the “Contain framework”, which brought in the rules on face coverings in local lockdown areas, will not apply during the national lockdown.
Currently, schools in areas subject to local lockdowns are in tier 1 of the Contain framework, which requires masks to be worn in secondary communal areas. None have yet been put into tier 2, which would involve the use of rotas in secondary schools.
The DfE said Contain would apply again once the national lockdown is lifted, and said it would say more on how it would be applied “in due course”.
The government has also updated guidance for school staff who are considered clinically extremely vulnerable, telling them to either work from home or if they can’t, not to go to work at all.
Applicable conditions include certain cancers, severe respiratory conditions, rare diseases and pregnancies in women with significant heart disease.
Staff in this category should “talk to their employers about how they will be supported, including to work from home where possible, during the period of national restrictions”.
‘Reimburse schools for staff cover’
Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said the government should reimburse schools for the costs of hiring supply cover for staff absence, with the changes likely to compound shortages with staff off work self-isolating.
“We have received reports of schools having to spend £6,000 per week on supply cover, and this situation is going to become worse. Schools and colleges cannot sustain these costs,” he added.
The guidance also states that most children originally identified as clinically extremely vulnerable “no longer need to follow original shielding advice”, and that parents should speak to their child’s GP or specialist clinicial.
However, those children whose doctors confirm they are still clinically extremely vulnerable “are advised not to attend education whilst the national restrictions are in place”. Schools will need to make “appropriate arrangements” to enable them to learn at home, the guidance adds.
Children and staff who live with someone who is clinically extremely vulnerable, but who are not clinically extremely vulnerable themselves, can still attend. Those considered clinically vulnerable, but not extremely vulnerable, can also still attend. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tributes have been paid to the founder of school improvement network PiXL, Sir John Rowling, after his death yesterday.
The organisation said today Rowling died after a short illness, adding his vision of “a ‘better future and brighter hope’ for young people will remain as we partner together to continue his work”.
PiXL emerged in 2005 out of the London Challenge when 50 member schools decided to continue the model of collaboration. It now supports nearly 3,000 schools across the country.
Brian Lightman, former general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, tweeted today: “The reaction to this saddest of news says it all. Sir John was one of the kindest, wisest and most inspirational people I have known.
“He has made a difference to the lives of so many young people and members of our profession. Like so many others I have learnt so much from him.”
Rowling was a teacher for 40 years, with 19 of these as headteacher of Nunthorpe school, in Middlesbrough.
School leader Nick Lowry described Rowling as an “education colossus”.
John Philip, an education consultant, added: “Sir John was one of the finest educationalists of his generation. His leadership of PiXL was inspirational to thousands of teachers and transformational to millions of students.”
But the organisation has somewhat divided those in the sector.
Chief inspector Amanda Spielman said during a speech at the Festival of Education in 2018 that the inspectorate’s new framework, focusing more on curriculum rather than outcomes, would “help to undo the ‘Pixlification’ of education in recent years”.
Schools Week revealed in 2015 PiXL was urging schools to enter “vulnerable” pupils into the ECDL qualification – worth the equivalent of a GCSE – that could be taught in just three days.
At the time, Rowling denied this amounted to gaming and said there was a “real crisis” in schools.
“The interest of kids and schools are set at odds against each other by the system. I don’t sit in judgment of schools that live in fear of their jobs.”
He said that the qualification helped schools safeguard against variations in marking and grade boundaries, and ensured pupils secured a sixth-form place. However the qualification was later pulled from counting in league tables.
Rowling’s sentiments somewhat chime with a more recent row between turnaround academy trust leaders who claim Ofsted’s focus on curriculum will “damage outcomes for disadvantaged children”.
Dan Moynihan, chief executive of the Harris Federation, said: “For many of our children qualifications are all they have in their hands at a job interview or college application and beyond.
“Their GCSEs are crucial. Ofsted is valuing curriculum over qualifications. The pendulum has swung too far.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

SaaS Agreements Lawyers
Scott & Scott, LLP’s cloud-based contracts as a services’ solution (“CAAS”) affords software developers and SaaS solution providers greater protection as ever-changing technology increases cybersecurity and ransomware risks.
By integrating the contracts with the quotes within various online quoting tools software developers and SaaS solution providers can collect e-signatures, enter into click-wrap agreements, and obtain browser wrap consent from clients for the online terms and conditions provided by the firm, thereby collapsing the sales and contracting process into one easy online transaction.
The solution also allows Scott & Scott to push frequent updates to clients without overwriting customizations made on prior versions, greatly reducing the time associated with keeping client documents current.
What is a SaaS Agreement?
A SaaS agreement, or software as a service agreement, is a document that outlines the terms and conditions of a software delivery model. In this type of model, the software and data are hosted centrally and users can access them both online.
A SaaS agreement can cover a lot of different types of services, or it might just be a way for end users to access products that can also be licensed in another way. The nice thing about the SaaS model is that you don’t need any extra software or hardware. Data gets uploaded into a system and then saved on remote servers (in the cloud).
SaaS Contract Templates
Our lawyers have been representing software firms for over 22 years. Whether you develop custom code or offer subscription-based services, your customer contracts are critically important to the value and viability of your company. Our SaaS customer contract templates have been developed over many years of experience. They contain many industry specific provisions designed to protect your SaaS business from legal liability.
Our hosted SaaS customer contract templates include:
- Master Software & Services Agreement
- End User License Agreement
- Software Subscription Agreement
- Service Level Objectives
- Written Information Security Policy
- Incident Response Plan
- Data Processing Terms
- HIPAA BAA
- State Consumer Protection Laws
Many small or startup software firms need other legal protections in addition to industry leading SaaS contract templates. Our lawyers advise software firms on IP protection including how to protect the code using copyright registration and how to protect the brand with trademark registrations. We also assist with preparation of SOW and other sales documents to be used in our client’s businesses but not hosted by us.
Our non-hosted services for software firms include:
- Copyright Registration of Software Code
- Review, edit and revise SOW’s for professional services
- Trademark Registration of product name
SaaS Customer Contract Setup Services
Clients who license SaaS contract templates also receive important setup services to customize the agreements to fit their business, make sure that our solution is tightly integrated into their sales process, and that quote and proposal templates are upgraded to leverage our online approach to customer contracting.
Our setup services include the following:
- Requested customization of licensed contract templates within the first 30 days
- Assistance with integrating with online platforms and quoting tools
- Review and approval of quote and proposal templates
- Review and approval of first two customer transactions
- Delivery of hyperlinks for use in quotes and on the web
Maintenance and Support Services
Prior to January of 2022, our lawyers would assist software firms with their customer contracts by assisting them with the development of template documents to be used by the sales team. Each client would get a customized version of our SaaS contract templates developed over years of experience. Customers frequently struggled to manage the contracts and ongoing legal review was time consuming and expensive. Today, representing software firms in connection with customer contracts requires a different approach, with more frequent review and closer control over revisions to the documents being exercised by our lawyers.
Our clients now receive ongoing and scheduled maintenance and support including the following services:
- Hosting of Web-based terms
- Critical Updates Service (e.g., Kaseya Incident)
- Quarterly Template Review & Update
- E-mail review of initial customer changes
- Access to Scott & Scott’s Privacy & Security Library including written information security policy, breach incident response plan, acceptable use policy, verbal confirmation of electronic transmissions policy, and expanded data processing terms. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Stephanie Whitney has participated in Strutt With Your Mutt for ten years. Stephanie is very passionate about the welfare of furry friends. She began her volunteer efforts in 1999 when a friend began rescuing homeless pets. In 2005, Stephanie began noticing unwanted and abandoned pets on the side of the road close to where she was living at the time. This is when she discovered Wayside Waifs.
With the help of Independence Animal Hospital, Stephanie would get the pets healthy and spayed/neutered if not already. If she was unable to find a loving home for the animal, it was then she would bring them to Wayside Waifs and contribute to their welfare by utilizing Wayside Waifs' surrender process in order to keep them safe while they found their new forever homes. It was during this time that she discovered the Strutt with your Mutt event and fell in love.
Stephanie began walking with her Beagle-Mix, Leo, at Strutt and this became a tradition for the two of them. She lost Leo in July of 2015 and continued to walk with a picture of him pinned to her shirt while bringing friends and their dogs so they could discover the strength, good will and success of the event and cause - they continue to join her each year and stand behind her fund raising efforts. She starts her fundraising early, stays in close contact with her asks, and reaches out to new people every year. She also puts an ad in her community monthly newsletter and reaches out to her colleagues. In 2017, Stephanie raised over $1,000 for Strutt With Your Mutt - making her one of our Top Individual Fundraisers. Stephanie and her family recently adopted Sasha, a Golden Retriever, who will strutt with her this fall! See photo of Stephanie and Sasha.
The Fast & the Furriest has officially made Wayside history. This Strutt With Your Mutt team, comprised of three middle school students from The Barstow School, has officially earned the title of top fundraising team three years in a row and raised nearly $37,000 in the process! Grant, Jia and Madi wanted to get involved, and as Jia's mom put it, "Jia loves volunteering with Wayside because she feels welcome there. Her efforts are always appreciated and she is treated like a valuable team member even though she is not an adult. It is also easy for her to see first-hand how her fundraising helps the Waifs." Grant also earned the title of top individual fundraiser for the past three years! He said of the experience,"I enjoy raising money for Wayside because I can see that is makes a direct impact on the animals."
In fact, Wayside Waifs has a wonderful donor who has been so inspired by our youth philanthropists that this individual is MATCHING ALL YOUTH FUNDRAISING EFFORTS UP TO $15,000! Anyone who is 18 years of age or younger and fundraises for Strutt With Your Mutt will have their gifts matched.
Rob Sight Ford has been a longtime supporter of Wayside Waifs and has participated as a sponsor of Strutt With Your Mutt for many years. In 2015 they took their involvement to a whole new level, putting together a Rob Sight Ford corporate team, collectively raising life-saving funds for animals in need. Employees volunteered to host a carwash at the dealership, a bake sale and a raffle. Team members invited their families to participate and it became the very example of a team effort. One of the most successful fundraising strategies used was a fundraising MATCH. The dealership generously matched team gifts up to $5,000. The team raised more than $13,000 in their first year, all to help animals find a second chance at a happy life! In 2017, Rob Sight Ford became a Strutt Presenting Sponsor, raising over $17,000 towards the event goal.
Kristi Davis and Jen Nelson's love for animals has, well, gone to the dogs. Kristi and Jen have a gaggle of papillions, the most recent being a Waif Alum. They started participating in Strutt in 2013 and have made a it a morning to spend with family and friends. Their team, Dogs Rule, was the top fundraising team in 2013 and 2014 and they've never stoppped Strutting to save lives.
“We first got involved with Strutt in 2013 as it looked like a fun event that we could participate in with our dogs and raise money for Wayside. We ended up pulling a team together and made it a group event. We have participated every year since as the same team and try to at least match the same amount raised as the last year. The team has changed year to year, but the common goal has never changed: raise money for Wayside Waifs & have fun with our dogs!” Kristi Davis, Dogs Rule. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

(BPT) – Amid the new normal where health and the health of loved ones is top of mind for many Americans, prioritizing wellness activities on a daily basis can be key to feeling in control and maintaining immune health. Our immune system is a critical part of our overall health and well-being – it’s our body’s natural defense system – which is why now is the ideal time to start implementing an immunity routine. In fact, a nationally representative survey commissioned by Emergen-C revealed that 69% of Americans care more about their immune health now than they did pre-pandemic and 71% have an established daily wellness routine.
Luckily, the key to focusing on immune health and maintaining a wellness routine lies in small, easy-to-follow daily habits that will ultimately yield a positive impact. If you’re thinking of ways to kickstart a wellness routine to support your immune health, consider the following from integrative and family medicine physician, Dr. Bindiya Gandhi, M.D.
While you may have heard the old adage to drink eight cups of water daily, you might not know that there is a strong correlation between hydration and immune health. From helping to flush waste and regulate the digestive system, to supporting skin health and cushioning the body’s vital organs, drinking water has a plethora of health benefits and adequately hydrating is crucial. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to make sure you are getting your fill (and refill!). Try a water bottle with time markers to help you track your intake throughout the day. Or if you prefer a more tech-savvy approach, there are smartphone apps available that allow you to set hourly alarms as an easy-to-follow reminder to drink up.
2) Fill up on the right nutrients
In tandem with a balanced diet, supplements that contain vitamins and minerals can help fill nutritional gaps and ensure you’re getting the essential nutrients your body needs to support immune function. Opt for products specifically designed to support the immune system, like Emergen-C Everyday Immune Support. Packed with 1,000 mg of vitamin C, plus zinc, manganese and 7 B vitamins to naturally enhance energy, Emergen-C products are easy to incorporate into your daily routine. From fizzy drink mixes to gummy vitamins, the wide range of products are convenient and bursting with delicious, natural fruit flavor.
While technology has many benefits, too much screen time can affect immune health. Though it’s nearly impossible to escape technology as we work from home and stay connected with loved ones, unplugging from devices can have a positive impact on mood, sleep and even eye health. Additionally, when we unplug, more attention can go toward things that help fuel our wellness, like reading books, cooking a well-balanced meal, exploring new hobbies or just simply being more present. A few hours before bedtime, try turning off your notifications so you are less tempted to reach for your mobile device.
4) Catch those z’s
Getting enough sleep regularly is incredibly important for body and brain health. After all, sleep reduces cortisol production, which can have a negative effect on the immune system. Make the most of those seven to nine hours each night so you can recharge, repair, refresh and energize your body. To support nightly rest, keep a consistent sleep-wake schedule by waking up and going to bed at relatively the same time each day to help set your internal clock.
Focusing on small changes you can make one day at a time helps to establish and sustain a daily wellness routine. It doesn’t need to be all at once, but making an effort to keep your body healthy can go a long way. With the above tips in mind, you will find that implementing healthier habits is not as unattainable as you might have thought and will help foster lasting change.

A Sunday Insight: Appreciation
I give thanks for the lessons of the past. Every single problem, every unhappy moment, every heartache, now appears from my present vantage point, to have been a blessing in disguise.
Every moment spent in solitary was an opportunity to meditate upon the truth of my being; prompting me to reach for a higher level of understanding and giving.
Indeed, what may appear as a dilemma at first becomes a steppingstone to spiritual growth.
I now move on with confidence as I pursue my purpose in life.
And for this I give thanks!

At first, transparent buyer overview practices signal authenticity to consumers. In an age where fake critiques and manipulated ratings abound, genuine feedback stands out. Consumers are increasingly savvy and may detect inauthenticity from a mile away. By overtly sharing unfiltered opinions, companies show that they haven’thing to hide and are assured in the quality of their products or services.
Moreover, transparency breeds credibility. When potential clients see that a enterprise is willing to display each positive and negative feedback, they perceive the evaluations as more trustworthy. They understand that the business values honesty and is willing to address areas for improvement openly. This honesty resonates with consumers and fosters a sense of credibility that may be invaluable in building long-term relationships.
Additionalmore, clear customer evaluation practices promote accountability. When companies make a commitment to transparency, they’re more likely to take customer feedback seriously. Negative opinions turn into opportunities for progress somewhat than liabilities to be swept under the rug. By publicly addressing issues and taking proactive steps to resolve points, businesses demonstrate accountability and a real desire to serve their prospects better.
Additionally, transparent customer critiques function a valuable supply of feedback for businesses. By listening to the voice of the client, businesses can gain valuable insights into their strengths and weaknesses. Positive evaluations highlight areas of success that may be leveraged and celebrated, while negative critiques pinpoint areas for improvement. This feedback loop is essential for businesses seeking to adapt and evolve in a dynamic marketplace.
Moreover, clear customer assessment practices can have a positive impact on seo (search engine optimization) efforts. Engines like google worth fresh, relevant content material, and customer evaluations provide precisely that. By commonly updating their evaluation platforms with new feedback, companies can improve their search engine rankings and attract more organic traffic. Additionally, the presence of consumer-generated content material can enhance the overall credibility of a website within the eyes of search engines.
Nevertheless, implementing clear customer overview practices isn’t without its challenges. Companies should be prepared to obtain negative feedback and reply to it gracefully. This requires a commitment to active listening, empathy, and a willingness to acknowledge mistakes. Additionally, businesses should invest in robust assessment management systems to make sure that all feedback is collected, analyzed, and addressed in a timely manner.
In conclusion, building trust through clear buyer review practices is essential for businesses looking to thrive in today’s competitive landscape. By openly sharing genuine feedback, businesses demonstrate authenticity, credibility, and accountability. Moreover, clear buyer evaluations provide valuable insights for businesses seeking to improve their products and services. While implementing clear review practices could pose challenges, the benefits far outweigh the risks. In the long run, companies that prioritize transparency will not only earn the trust of their clients but in addition stand out as beacons of integrity in a crowded marketplace.

Get wowed by wallpapers
One of the best and most inexpensive methods of reinventing your homes is by opting for wallpapers. They come in an array of colours and textures like metallic, copper, matte, geometric, etc.
Stylize with stencils
If you wish to add an element of jazz to your walls, then stencils are the way to go. Try and combine stunning stickers, decals or stencils that perfectly blend with the colour combinations of your room.
There’s nothing that can accentuate your walls as contrast colours do. It adds an interesting feature and if you get the correct lighting that enhances your room walls, it takes the whole appearance to an entirely new level.

Sometimes, the best way to enhance the beauty of something is to do it the simple way. Similarly, if you wish to elevate the look and feel of the walls of your home, you can start by colouring a single wall instead of painting the entire house as it adds a dramatic element.

Modular homes, also known as prefab or prefabricated homes, are gaining popularity in Australia thanks to their efficiency and relative affordability.
Unlike traditional homes that are built on-site from scratch, modular homes are constructed off-site in a factory environment and then transported to their final destination. This process can reduce the construction time and potential delays caused by bad weather.
But, because they are not built like traditional brick-and-mortar homes, securing modular home finance is more complex than applying for a construction home loan.
What is a modular home?
Modular homes are made up of prefabricated sections or modules that are transported to the building site and assembled. These modules are typically constructed in a factory under controlled conditions.
Once assembled on site, the modular home is then connected to services like water, electricity and sewage.
Modular homes offer great design flexibility and can be customised to your requirements.
Modular homes are not to be confused with kit homes (also known as flatpack homes). Kit homes are those where the components are built off-site, like a modular home, but arrive at your land in a ‘kit’ for assembly. In the kit are all the components needed to build the home, pre-cut and ready to be assembled.
Kit homes do not typically need to be assembled by a registered builder, you can build them yourself. But, they are usually smaller and come in set designs without the option to change the layout. Kit homes are mostly suitable for garages, small granny flats or extra storage space outside.
Can you finance a modular home?
While modular homes offer advantages, securing financing for them can be a challenge compared to traditional homes. This is primarily due to the off-site construction process. During a traditional build, a lender will value the home throughout the process. When a modular home is built off-site, this can’t be done.
That said, securing modular home finance isn’t impossible. Here are some factors to consider:
As a result, modular homes are often financed with two payment stages: deposit and competition. However, this can be a challenge for the construction company to recoup their expenses, resulting in the cancellation of the project or serious delays.
Consequently, some lenders like Bankwest have amended their construction loans to allow a third payment stage. In the case of Bankwest, this allows buyers in Western Australia to authorise a third payment for up to 95% of the land value. This protects the buyer from the construction company struggling to fund their work and assists the construction company with added cash flow to fund the build.
Tips for building a modular home
To ensure your modular home journey is a success, here are four tips:
Building a modular home
Building a modular home offers homeowners several advantages including quick turnaround times and increased flexibility. However, securing modular home finance can be a challenge due to the home’s non-traditional construction method.
By engaging with your mortgage broker early on, you can explore the options available to you, increasing your chances of successfully financing your modular home project.

When they drafted him in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions knew Kerby Joseph was a raw ballhawk. During his lone season as a full-time defensive back in college at Illinois, he had five interceptions.
Joseph proved to be that ballhawk, with four interceptions in each of his first two NFL seasons. Heading into his third season, it was about reaching another level and Lions head coach Dan Campbell laid out that expectation early in training camp.
Joseph clearly got that message. He is tied for the league lead with six interceptions heading into Week 11, and he's Pro Football Focus' No. 2-graded safety (behind teammate Brian Branch). His missed tackle rate is a career-best. As he and Branch have become the best safety tandem in the league, Joseph is getting noticed on a wider scale.
National analysts are noticing Kerby Joseph
Heading into Week 10, at the halfway point of the season, Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports had Joseph on his list of difference makers for the second half.
"Joseph is tied for the league lead in interceptions (6) as opposing quarterbacks have completed just 47.4% of passes when targeting him."
"Joseph has more interceptions returned for touchdowns (1) than touchdowns given up (0). Opposing quarterbacks have just a 14.5 passer rating when targeting Joseph as the primary defender. The Lions have a good defense because of players like Joseph, who has been one of the best defensive players in the game this year."
This week, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler also named Joseph as a second half breakout candidate.
"Watch for Lions safety Kerby Joseph to continue his ball-hawking ways. His ball production has been impressive since entering the league, with 14 career interceptions midway through his third NFL season. Detroit's safety duo of Joseph and Brian Branch will have heavy influence on the NFC North."
Joining the bandwagon, NFL.com's Kevin Patra has named Joseph as a sleeper Pro Bowl candidate.
"The safety's six interceptions are tied for the NFL lead, most of which have come in massive spots or changed games. It's not just those moments when Joseph has shined. His -39.1 target EPA is by far the lowest among all safeties (Xavier McKinney is next at -20.8). He's allowed a 20.2 quarterback rating as the nearest defender, the lowest among all DBs, and his 45 percent completion rate allowed is the third-lowest (minimum 200 coverage snaps). The former third-round pick has grown into the glue of Aaron Glenn's secondary and enables the rest of the operation to play physical up front."
Craig Ellenport of Athlon Sports took it a big step further, putting Joseph at No. 5 on his list of non-quarterback MVP candidates through Week 10.
"Joseph has quietly been one of the most important players in the NFL this season. The third-year safety is tied for the NFL lead with six interceptions, having returned one for a touchdown. According to Next Gen Stats, Joseph has been targeted 20 times, allowing a total of nine catches for 97 yards and no scores, for a paltry passer rating of 20.2."
Joseph is having the breakout season Campbell forecasted he would have. He has become one of the best safeties in the league, and thus impossible to ignore on a national scale. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

With a little under a year of flying under my belt, I’ve finally amassed enough footage (and built up enough confidence) to share some of the beautiful scenery and amazing moments I’ve captured via quadcopter here in Colorado.
Like all my other artistic pursuits, I’ll probably never be completely satisfied with my talents and abilities as an aerial cinematographer, but taking a camera up into the air has honestly been of of the most thrilling, rewarding, and unabashedly fun experiences of my creative life.
The possibilities this platform has opened up in terms of story-telling, production value, and sheer cinematic beauty have been unbelievably inspiring and exciting.
I’m currently working on obtaining my 333 exemption from the FAA, making me fully legal for commercial operation of unmanned aerial vehicles. I’ll also be significantly upgrading my multi-rotor and camera set-up in the very near future, so be sure to stay tuned!
I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunities this new technology has given me to learn as a pilot, grow as a cinematographer and filmmaker, and the new perspective it’s given me as a human being.
This has been a pure joy, from minute one.
Many, many thanks to Kris Farruggia, for being my flying buddy, and to my aerial hero, Brent Murray at Hello Airbot for providing invaluable advice, and endless inspiration.
I can’t wait to see where this thing goes!

This article is about the character from the film, the Headless Horseman. For the character of the same name from the series, see the Headless Horseman. |
- "The Horseman was a Hessian mercenary, sent to these shores by German princes to keep Americans under the yoke of England. But unlike his compatriots, who came for money, the Horseman came for love of carnage. When battle was joined, there you'd find him. He rode a giant black steed named Daredevil. He was infamous for riding his horse hard into battle, chopping off heads at full gallop. He had filed his teeth down to sharp points, to add to the ferocity of his appearance. This butcher didn't finally reach his end until the winter of '79. Not far from here, in our western woods. They chopped off his head with his own sword."
- —The horseman's description told to Ichabod Crane.[src]
The Headless Horseman was a Hessian mercenary who was sent by the German princes to brutally attack American soldiers. His steed was named Daredevil and he would chop the heads off of his victims. He met his end in late 1779 and was beheaded, just as he had done so with his victims. 20 years later, Lady Mary Van Tassel had claimed his head from the grave and after some magic, she raised him from the grave with the power to control him and do her bidding. Ichabod Crane came to the rescue and reclaimed the head of the horseman and delivered it back to him. The horseman then killed Mary and returned to Hell.
- Ghost Physiology: Once the horseman had risen from the dead, he was granted various physical attributes which enabled him to carry out his master's bidding.
- Enhanced durability: The horseman was immensely durable, capable of withstanding multiple blows from muskets. He is also immune to the effects of fire and explosions, as shown when Ichabod Crane left him to burn inside a windmill, which later exploded.
- Obedience: Once he was brought back from the dead, Mary Van Tassel used the horseman's head to control the horseman in order to force him to do her bidding. Once he reclaimed his skull, free of her control of his actions and allowing him to return to the grave, though not before murdering Mary Van Tassel for enslaving him in the first place.
- Holy buildings: The horseman is unable to enter holy buildings such as churches and their fences without getting burned. Though this is only an inconvenience for the horseman, as he utilized a fence post with rope and propelled it through the church window and impaled Baltus Van Tassel and dragged him out of the building.
- Daredevil: The horseman's steed which he had in life and also in death. He used Daredevil to charge at his victims and take their heads as trophies.
- Sword: His sword was special, as it cauterized the wounds of its victims if they managed to survive, that is. One of the residents compared the sword's heat to the Devil's fire.
- Axes: The horseman also occasionally used a pair of axes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

When is it advisable to hire a lawyer after a car accident?
Hello, this is my first time posting here. I’ve been learning a lot from everyone’s posts, especially about when it’s recommended to involve lawyers in car accident cases. Could you please explain under what circumstances it’s recommended to hire a lawyer, and what factors determine this? Does it depend on the severity of injuries, the parties involved (such as uninsured drivers or minors), or other factors?
I was in a car accident with my minor son a few months ago, where we were T-boned. Since it was my first experience dealing with this situation (fortunately), I decided to hire a lawyer to represent both me and my son.

With delivery drones, driverless trucks, cashier-less stores, robotic welders and even robotic insurance claims adjusters becoming more ubiquitous by the day, your newest coworker could very well be some kind of “A.I.” or robot. But as the buzz around these technologies fades and reality sets in, how can software publishers and capital equipment manufacturers ensure that client staff knows how to safely and productively work with or alongside increasingly autonomous machines?
Before pointing out the challenges it must be stated that, despite the media’s tendency to sensationalize incidents where autonomous machines (such as Uber and Tesla’s self-driving cars) injured or killed operators or bystanders, autonomous machines have generally improved safety wherever they’ve been introduced. Yet, without careful training, workers unfamiliar with autonomous machines and how they operate can put themselves and others at risk.
The mining industry has been at the forefront of deploying autonomous vehicles, and overall they have improved safety by removing human operators from hazardous environments. However, recent studies have found that when humans and autonomous vehicles do work in close proximity, accidents remain all too common, especially during bad weather.
In healthcare, robot-assisted surgery has tremendous promise, though the rollout of machines has not been without incidents. For instance, a patient died after undergoing the UK’s first robot-assisted heart valve surgery in 2015. While the surgical team made several errors that day, many unrelated to technology, the fact that the lead surgeon had never trained on the surgical robot is alarming in hindsight. Meanwhile, medical schools haven’t been doing the best job of preparing tomorrow’s doctors to perform robot-assisted surgery.
So what can manufacturers do to maximize the benefit of autonomous equipment while minimizing safety hazards? Here are a few suggestions: | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
When we think, at this time, of how God sent His Son, calling Him Jesus, may we meditate on Christ’s mercy.
“Great and Merciful God” was written soon after my deliverance from great darkness and the trickery of evil people. God’s mercy in Christ Jesus was so powerful, His love solid grace to forgive and revive, restore the soul, and give new life and victory over my enemies. It’s the reason why Christ came into this dark world as the light to rescue us from the ruler of the kingdom of darkness and bring us into the kingdom of the Son he loves (Colossians 1:13). The song, “Great and Merciful God” will be released in the new year.
I pray as you meditate, not on the twinkling beauty of lights and tinsel and shining tree – but Christ – fully man, and fully God to walk amongst us and teach us His ways and godliness. I pray we teach our children the true meaning of “Christmas.” The story we tell from our hearts, the Bible, and a life lived to please our Savior, friend, and Heavenly Father.
May we remember, in clarity, that we were lost but now found. That we were a people that had not received mercy, but now we have received mercy. (1 Peter 2:10).
My enemies were so confident that they could keep the love of God in Christ Jesus away from me. They had confidence in their trickery and evil to win over my soul and life. But Christ’s love in Jesus and His hope can’t be cut off. May we speak of it, rejoice in it, and share Jesus and His truth and gospel with everyone.
Christ Jesus is the light above our tree, and we, the many lights shining and proclaiming His life given for all to believe in and find their peace and rest in Jesus.
Let’s be Christ’s Christmas tree this year and the next. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Triple Eight Team Manager Mark Dutton has outlined the likely cause of the crash which Shane van Gisbergen experienced in the Queensland Raceway pre-enduro Supercars test day.
The two-time Bathurst 1000 winner was heavily into the Turn 6 tyre wall when the #97 Red Bull Ampol Racing (RBAR) Camaro lost its front brakes during the first 90 minutes of the morning.
According to Dutton, the brakes had just been changed on Car #97, and a caliper looks to have come loose.
“Everything started smoothly and we were running through our test plan,” he recounted.
“Part of that was changing brakes; you bed brakes at these days, pre-event.
“What it looks like has happened is, one of the fittings has been knocked on the caliper and then that’s subsequently come loose.
“So Shane, entering Turn 6, has the driver’s worst nightmare when the pedal goes to the floor.
“[He had] literally no front brakes, tries to slow it down, does a 360 through the gravel, washing off as much speed as he can, and then managed to put it in perfectly square.”
Despite it being believed initially that the car would have to go back to Triple Eight Race Engineering’s Banyo workshop, in Brisbane’s north, it was repaired at the circuit and co-driver Richie Stanaway was able to hop back in for some more miles in the final two-and-a-half hours of the afternoon.
“That’s a big deal [hitting the tyres square] because that means that the force of the impact is shared equally on the car, so that that’s why we’ve been able to fix it,” added Dutton.
“The car has performed magnificently; we actually didn’t think we would be able to get it back out when we saw how deep it was buried in the tyres, and the crew obviously worked tirelessly to get it going.
“We were pleasantly surprised that the chassis rails weren’t damaged, the front clip wasn’t damaged… It was all your bolt-on and -off bits that you could easily replace.”
Van Gisbergen was not seriously injured in the incident, although he will be checked over by a physiotherapist tomorrow.
“Like anything like this, he’ll be more sore tomorrow, so we’ll get him to the physios, get him checked out there,” said Dutton.
“Then we’ll have a physio anyway at the enduros, so Dolph [Francis, Triple Eight physiotherapist] will make sure that he is in tip-top condition.”
Stanaway remarked, “The main thing is that [van Gisbergen] is okay because it was a pretty big impact.
“We had a lot on the programme today, so not being able to get the full testing because of the incident definitely wasn’t the best lead into Sandown.
“Luckily, the team did manage to turn the car around to get some laps in this afternoon which was really productive, so a big kudos to them.
“The laps in the end were so valuable, which made it worthwhile for everyone.
“It’s been good to drive it again with proximity to the race, compared to the test days which were earlier in the year.”
All three Triple Eight cars were in action at Queensland Raceway, including the #88 RBAR and the #888 Supercheap Auto wildcard, as were the three Dick Johnson Racing Mustangs (including its wildcard entry), both Matt Stone Racing Camaros, and both PremiAir Racing Camaros.
Erebus Motorsport, Walkinshaw Andretti United, Tickford Racing, and Grove Racing completed a test day at Winton, while Brad Jones Racing, Team 18, and the Blanchard Racing Team will return tomorrow after calling off their programme today due to the threat of wet weather. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Texas A&M University Libraries added a new crown jewel to its Floyd and Louise Chapman Texas and Borderlands Collection: a rare map of Texas created by the “Father of Texas,” Stephen F. Austin.
Produced in 1830, Stephen F. Austin’s Map of Texas is only one of perhaps ten known to still exist. It has been described as “the first meaningful map of Texas” and represents one of the most important maps of the American West.
Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp ’72 provided the lead gift for the $335,000 map, while each of Texas A&M’s Regents also contributed to its acquisition: Chairman Charles Schwartz, Vice-Chairman Elaine Mendoza ’87 and members Phil Adams ’70, Robert Albritton ’71, Anthony Buzbee ’90, Morris Foster ’65, Tim Leach ’82, Bill Mahomes ’69 and Cliff Thomas ’72. Longtime University Libraries supporters Bonnie and Otway Denny ’71 also donated.
“Bonnie and I both wanted to support the acquisition because of the map’s tremendous historic and educational value,” said Otway, a member of the Texas A&M Foundation’s Board of Trustees. “This map will provide many engaging learning opportunities pertaining to Texas history, cartography and printmaking for Aggie students and faculty researchers.”
It took Austin more than five years to compile and draw the map using surveys conducted around the state. Produced as part of a land-grant agreement with the Mexican government, it illustrates many of the early Texas settlements including Brazoria, Gonzales, Harrisburg, Matagorda, Victoria and Waco Village. Used as a marketing tool to convince people from the East Coast and Appalachia to travel west and settle in Texas, it was also the first map to accurately depict the state’s rivers, boundaries and waterways.
“As the first public university in Texas, we are proud to bring this significant piece of our state’s history to campus,” said Board of Regents Chairman Charles Schwartz. “We’re honored to care for Stephen F. Austin’s 1830 Map of Texas for years to come. As a Texan who owns a parcel of land between the Brazos and Colorado Rivers, it is exciting for me to see the first depiction of my land as a part of a place called Texas.”
Austin’s Map of Texas will be housed and displayed in the Cushing Memorial Library and Archives. You can view the map digitally by clicking here.

The Upper East Regional Minister, Mr Rockson Ayine Buakari, has called on assembly members to forget about party affiliation and rally their people to support the government to achieve its development agenda.
“I wish to remind all that party politics are over. We have one President who is for all Ghanaians. Irrespective of our tribal, religious or political affiliations, let us ensure peace, unity and sustainable development. We should forget about party colourisation and support the government to deliver on its mandate to improve upon the living standard of the people,” he said in a speech delivered on his behalf by the Upper East Regional Coordinating Director, Alhaji Mohammed Azonko, at the Upper East Regional Delegates Conference of the National Association of Local Authorities of Ghana (NALAG).
He said polarisation had been extended by some assembly members into their various communities in the exercise of their powers, and “that is why most assemblies in the region held more than two meetings to elect their presiding members (PMs).
“Some had to hold as many as three or more meetings before they could elect their presiding members. In some cases, even when compromises were made to get someone elected, the lack of trust still remains with us,” he stated.

The conference was on the theme: “The Role of Local Authorities in the Implementation of the Global Agenda for Sustainable Development.” It was attended by municipal and district chief executives (DCEs), PMs and some assembly members.
The regional minister reminded the assembly members that their people and the government had put their trust in them by electing and nominating them to serve in the assemblies and urged them not to take it as a personal glory but advised them to work in synergy towards relieving their people of abject poverty.
The President of NALAG, Mr Felix Mensah Nii Annan, said the transition and revocation of the membership of the various metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies (MMDAs) had affected the composition of the National Executive Council (NEC) of NALAG; hence, the need to hold fresh elections to constitute a new NEC.
He stated that in spite of these challenges, NALAG had been able to build the capacities of its members, recruited a general secretary to ensure smooth operations at its secretariat and had started building a database to facilitate the planning and administration of the association.
The General Secretary of NALAG, Mr Kokro Amankwah, called on the assemblies to mainstream into their medium-term development plans the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and climate change mitigation.
He said the European Union and other development partners were prepared to support the assemblies to implement programmes and projects geared towards achieving the SDG’s and climate change and indicated that NALAG was sourcing for funding to train the planning and budget officers of various MMDAs on writing winnable proposals.
The DCE for Bongo, Mr Peter Ayimbisa Ayamga, was elected to represent the Upper East Region on the NEC of NALAG. He polled 33 votes after a hotly contested election to beat the PM of the Builsa South District Assembly, Mr Richard Ajuik, who had 31 votes.
The DCE commended the delegates for reposing their confidence in him and pledged to work to improve the working and living conditions of members at the regional level and called for support from the membership.

Your home's exterior is the first thing potential buyers or guests will notice. Whether you're looking to sell or just want to spruce things up, enhancing your property's kerb appeal is crucial. With some smart improvements and a bit of elbow grease, you can create an inviting first impression that will make your house stand out from the crowd. Here are eight tips to boost your home's kerb appeal.
1. Freshen Up with a New Coat of Paint
One of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to revitalise your home's facade is to repaint the exterior. A fresh coat in a modern, neutral hue can work wonders in updating a dated or faded look. Don't forget to paint the front door, too - a vibrant colour here can add a welcoming pop.
2. Maximise Kerb Appeal with Lush Landscaping
Well-maintained gardens and landscaping are vital for kerb appeal. Keep lawns neatly mowed and edged. Plant flowering beds, prune shrubs and trees, and install some potted plants around the entranceway. A few colourful flowers and neatly mulched garden beds can make a big difference.
3. Update Your Driveway
Your driveway is one of the first things people see, so don't neglect it. If yours is cracked, crumbling, or just looking worn out, consider giving it a makeover. For driveways Solihull, homeowners might look into having them repaved with fresh tarmac or attractive paving stones.
4. Replace Old Fixtures and Fittings
Older exterior light fixtures, house numbers, mailboxes and other details can look dated and detract from your home's aesthetic. Swap them out for newer, more stylish replacements to instantly modernise and polish the look.
5. Wow with New Windows
If your budget allows, replacing old windows is a wonderful way to elevate your home's kerb appeal and energy efficiency. Consider swapping out older frames for smart new styles, adding some character with decorative glass or muntin grids.
6. Add Some Cosy Touches
Little extras like strategically placed exterior seating, pathway lighting and decorative house numbers all add warmth and charm to a home's facade. A hanging basket or two filled with colourful blooms also makes for a welcoming pop of colour.
7. Power Wash Exterior Surfaces
Give weathered walls, pathways, decking and other exterior surfaces a deep clean with a power washer. This affordable solution can strip away built-up dirt, grime and even mould to leave surfaces looking refreshed.
8. Enhance Your Entrance
Make the front entranceway more inviting by adding decorative touches like planting borders, potted topiaries, a new overhead light fixture and a smart new welcome mat. If the door itself is looking worn, a fresh coat of paint or a new door could work wonders.
With some imagination and motivated effort, you can dramatically enhance your home's first impression and kerb appeal. From cost-effective updates like fresh paint, new house numbers and lush landscaping to bigger investments like driveway repaving or new windows, a range of improvements can transform your home's exterior into an inviting, eye-catching asset. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Gone are the days when smartphones are used just for connecting people across the world. Thanks to technological advances, mobile phones now act as a personal computer that simplifies daily activities like online purchases, data transfer, online payments, email transactions & more.
Mobile apps are becoming an essential part of our lives increasing the demand for iOS and Android App Developers.
Android OS remains the most predominant operating system contributing almost 97% of the total smartphone market.
More and more programmers are building robust Android apps with the help of the latest tech innovations.
Let’s find out how technology is transforming the role of Android app development!
Latest Technologies That Impact the Android App Development in the Market
As compared to iOS devices, Android smartphones are available at affordable prices, which is why the number of Android users is more. Hence, the demand for new Android apps is increasing every year.
However, staying updated with the current technology trends and market demands is needed to meet the increasing expectations of customers. Every Android app development company is struggling to keep itself aware of these trends.
Here are some of the technologies that will transform the face of Android app development-
Many Android app developers are embracing technologies such as Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence & more to build more effective business apps for many organizations.
These apps not only deliver better browsing, gaming & shopping experiences on the Android platform but also help users get enjoyable experiences.
Other technologies like Blockchain can be used to enhance security for facilitating transactions in virtual currency.
Android app development facilitates migration to the Internet of Things (IoT) for developing a wide range of Android apps enabling customers to monitor connected things & track items/vehicles in supply chain management firms.
Using such apps help business owners to get updates & information in real-time helping them take timely actions before the situation worsens.
Another latest technology trend for android app development is Firebase that offers flexibility to develop high-quality apps working seamlessly on several platforms.
Apps built using Firebase come in handy for analytics as well as Google cloud messaging, also known as Firebase Cloud Messaging.
MEAP, also known as Mobile Enterprise Application Platform is a great advantage for Android app development firms that help in efficiently managing the cross-platform apps.
These not only help developers to deploy & build apps easily but also enable them to develop apps that are consistent across multiple devices ranging from smartphones, tablets, and more.
Mobile apps are becoming key mobile marketing strategies enabling businesses to build brand value and reach out to more customers across the globe.
Keeping in mind the increasing number of Android smartphone users, businesses can tap the potential of Android apps to witness a tremendous increase in their revenue.
6. Android Instant Apps
Customers today have no time to go through the hectic app store installation process, they want quick and easy access to the mobile apps they are looking for.
Android instant app is the solution where apps deliver the perfect blend of the web app and native mobile app. This help customer to use the app easily that reduces the API size for faster download.
Google has acquired Fabric that helps to tackle the analytics effectively. The app developer platform of Twitter relies on Google for crash reporting, app analytics & more.
This is useful for the Android app development team as analytics is in demand and it comes easy with the assistance of Fabric.
Another top concern for every app development firm is security as more and more hackers are there.
Security standards should be more advanced during app development and this can be done by making developers use multiple layers of security that prevent sensitive information from unauthorized access.
Hopefully, mobile app development skills are in high demand as multiple businesses follow a mobile-first approach to develop their apps.
While developing Android apps, having a solid knowledge of the Java language and understanding of the object-oriented concept is essential.
Another latest trend for Android app development is to use Android Studio to build apps seamlessly using bug-free code.

The circular 1/4" clear acrylic rat cage has a 12x12" base with a 12" diameter and 12" height. Pinnacle's circular rat cage (8238-SD) is recommended for use with all of Pinnacle's tethered rat sleep deprivation systems. The cage has a 3/8" center hole for access of the sleep deprivation rotating bar. Access to water is provided and there is easy access from the top for cleaning and feeding. Water bottle is sold separately.
Pinnacle's rat cage is excellent to use with all of Pinnacle's rat recording systems. Since the cage wall is equidistant from the pivot, the animal can comfortably reach the farthest point of its cage yet still not have too much slack in the tether when standing in the middle of the cage. This provides more comfort for the animal and less chance of the tether becoming fouled for the researcher.
Note: Acrylic cages can not be exposed to temperatures above 180° Fahrenheit. Pinnacle recommends using the stand (9009) with the rat cage. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Based in Austin, Texas, Hovvdy (pronounced "howdy") is the writing and recording project of Charlie Martin and Will Taylor. The duo, both primarily drummers, first met in the fall of 2014 and quickly bonded over a love for quiet music. Within a few weeks, they had combined songs and began recording their first EP in bedrooms and family homes across Texas.
By 2016 the two had committed to each others growth in songwriting and recording, resulting in their debut album Taster, originally released on Sports Day Records and reissued in 2017 by Double Double Whammy. Hovvdy has found a unique identity in rhythmic, down-tempo pop songs that are hopeful, yet melancholy; relatable, yet distinguishable.
Hovvdy's sophomore album, Cranberry, expands on a familiar texture, building off Taster's minimal complexity and covering new ground. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In today’s world, where unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles are prevalent, trimming your waistline and achieving weight loss goals can feel like an uphill battle. However, with the right strategies and a commitment to change, shedding those extra pounds is entirely possible. Let’s explore some essential weight loss strategies that can help you trim your waistline and improve your overall health.
Understanding the Basics
Before diving into specific strategies, it’s essential to understand the basics of weight loss. At its core, weight loss occurs when you consume fewer calories than your body burns, creating a calorie deficit. This deficit prompts your body to tap into stored fat for energy, leading to gradual weight loss over time. While various factors influence weight loss, including genetics and metabolism, creating a calorie deficit through diet and exercise remains fundamental.
Mindful Eating Habits
One of the most effective weight loss strategies is adopting mindful eating habits. This involves paying attention to what, when, and how much you eat, as well as tuning into hunger and satiety cues. Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite, eating slowly, and stopping when you feel satisfied rather than stuffed. Avoid distractions like screens or multitasking during meals, allowing you to fully enjoy your food and prevent overeating.
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight requires a balanced approach to nutrition. Focus on incorporating a variety of nutrient-dense foods into your diet, including fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Aim to fill your plate with colorful, plant-based foods that provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants while limiting processed foods, sugary snacks, and high-calorie beverages.
In addition to making healthy food choices, practicing portion control is crucial for weight loss success. Even nutritious foods can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess. Use visual cues or portion control tools to gauge appropriate serving sizes and avoid oversized portions. Eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day can also help regulate hunger and prevent overeating.
Regular Physical Activity
Physical activity is a cornerstone of any successful weight loss plan. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise each week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days. Find activities you enjoy, whether it’s walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, or dancing, and make them a regular part of your routine to boost calorie burn and support weight loss.
Hydration and Hygiene
Proper hydration is essential for overall health and can also support weight loss efforts. Drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day helps regulate appetite, prevent dehydration, and support proper bodily functions. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day, and consider replacing sugary beverages with water or herbal tea. Additionally, prioritize good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of foodborne illness and support digestive health.
Sleep and Stress Management
Quality sleep and effective stress management are often overlooked but play critical roles in weight loss and overall well-being. Aim for seven to nine hours of quality sleep per night to support hormone regulation, metabolism, and appetite control. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga to lower cortisol levels and prevent emotional eating. Prioritize self-care and relaxation to support your weight loss journey.
Embarking on a weight loss journey can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to go it alone. Seek support from friends, family, or a healthcare professional who can offer encouragement, accountability, and guidance along the way. Consider joining a weight loss group, enlisting the help of a personal trainer or nutritionist, or connecting with online communities for additional support and motivation.
Trimming your waistline and achieving weight loss goals requires dedication, consistency, and a willingness to make sustainable lifestyle changes. By incorporating these essential weight loss strategies into your daily routine, you can take control of your health, improve your well-being, and achieve lasting success on your weight loss journey. Remember, progress may be gradual, but with patience and persistence, you can reach your goals and enjoy a happier, healthier life. Read more about tips to reduce weight | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Floriculture, or flower farming, is a discipline of horticulture concerned with the cultivation of flowering and ornamental plants for gardens and for floristry, comprising the floral industry. The development plant breeding of new varieties is a major occupation of floriculturists.
Floriculture crops include bedding plants, flowering plants, foliage plants or houseplants, cut cultivated greens, and cut flowers. As distinguished from nursery crops, floriculture crops are generally herbaceous. Bedding and garden plants consist of young flowering plants (annuals and perennials) and vegetable plants. They are grown in flats trays, in pots, or in hanging baskets, usually inside a controlled environment, and sold largely for gardens and landscaping. Geraniums, impatiens, and petunias are the best-selling bedding plants. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Designers, Alexa Adams and Flora Gill, brought and interesting twist into the Ohne Titel Resort collection for 2015. Incorporating a unique mixture of scuba life and graphics, along with different designs for curvy and linear concepts, the styles brought an unexpected breath of fresh air onto the runway.
A knitted two-piece bathing suit had a fun play with zebra stripes, shifting the stripes from diagonal lines to straight lines, playing more with the print than with the fabrics. This opens up a new way of conceptualizing and reinterpreting simple prints.
Another interesting reinterpretation was the black chiffon skirt, brushed to give it a “wet leather” look according to Adams. Thus, creating a totally different feel for the traditional chiffon design.
Whether plays on traditional designs and geometry, or a reconstruction of well known fabrics and styles, the Ohne Titel resort collection for 2015 is one that is exceptionally creative, interesting, and fresh. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Daniel K. RichterA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.
Richter opens Facing East from Indian Country with a description of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. Built in the 1960s by Eero Saarinen, the modernist structure is meant to evoke the idea of St. Louis as a gateway to the Western United States, a position it held for 19th-century settlers. Richter uses this symbol to reorient the reader toward the Indigenous point of view on Euro-American settlers: Instead of standing, metaphorically speaking, on the eastern side looking at the West through the arch, Richter proposes standing on the Western (Indigenous) side and looking toward the East. From this perspective, westward expansion was not an inevitable fulfillment of destiny but the result of real human choices—choices that often resulted in destructive racial antagonism between whites and Indigenous peoples.
Wampum are tube-shaped shell beads on strings or woven in belts or decorations. Before the arrival of the white settlers, Indigenous tribes used wampum for ceremonial purposes, but after Europeans developed ways to mass produce wampum, it became a medium of exchange and currency. Its value is derived from the skill involved in making it, its aesthetic appeal, and its sacred character. Richter emphasizes that this use of wampum as “Indian money” was entirely a result of the colonists. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A) ISP Static IP:
Static IP that is assigned by customers' internet service provider and required to access the ISP.
B) OmniNet Static / Public IP:
A Public IP assigned to OmniNet subscriptions when purchased. Required for Port Forwarding with OmniNet.
OmniNet offers several solutions to provide filtering services. Depending on which method you choose to integrate with OmniNet, the use of static IPs can vary slightly. However, some things remains constant with any subscription:
If you want to forwarding inbound traffic to a subscription connected to OmniNet, you must purchase an OmniNet Static IP/Port Forwarding IP.
You cannot leverage an ISP's Static IP for inbound traffic (port forwarding) once you are online with OmniNet services. This is due to the security design. All traffic goes through the data center.
Is an ISP Static IP required?
No. OBR's can utilize a DHCP, Static IP, or PPPoE handoff from the ISP.
Is an OmniNet Static / Public IP required?
1 is only required if a Port Forward is needed.
However they are recommended as they provide a unique address for that OBR when accessing banking and other services.

Files can be "attached" to a service. Attached files can are accessible by all Planners and any Helpers that are scheduled to serve at that service. Keep in mind, song-related files should probably be attached to the song (in your Songs Library), not directly attached to the service. Examples of files you might attached to a service include: slides for the message, imagery to be projected on the screen before/after the service. To attach a file to a service:
- Get to the service flow of the desired service
- Click the Folder icon in the upper right area of the service flow grid
- If you have not yet uploaded the file, click the "Attach file from my computer" button. If the file has been previously uploaded (either by you, or another Planner), click the "Attach previously uploaded file" button, and use the search interface to find the file.
- Click Done once the file is selected or uploaded

Creatine HCL (hydrochloride) is one of the best forms of creatine around. It is more soluble in water than other types and is absorbed much more quickly into the bloodstream as a result. Quicker absorption means you need less of it to get results. You’re also less likely to suffer possible adverse gut effects that might occur with other forms, such as diarrhoea, which may be a problem for some individuals.
Creatine is one of the top supplements used for power, strength and building muscle mass. For best results, spread your creatine doses over the day and use both pre and post workout. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Located in Panchkula, Haryana, Bodega restaurant by Loop Design Studio blends vernacular and bohemian styles using stone, wood, bamboo, and brick. Inside, sculptural art, unique lighting, and eclectic furniture create a whimsical atmosphere. The double-height atrium features a bamboo lighting installation, and the layout includes a twig-and-thatch bar, textured brick seating area, and a private dining space. Suvrita Bhardwaj at Loop Design Studio shares more details with SURFACES REPORTER (SR):
Bodega's interior decor showcases an eclectic and whimsical style, featuring distinctive sculptural art, lighting fixtures, and furniture. The space opens into a double-height atrium with a parametric bamboo lighting installation, leveraging scale and altering the perception of the cuboidal shell.
The ceiling installation, a reimagined vernacular bamboo chandelier, serves primarily as a lighting fixture. This concentric, layered design floats elegantly in the expansive double-height void, embodying the vision of creating a bold sculpture that adds visual weight to the space.
Dynamic Zoning in Bodega
The double-height wall clad in natural grey stone provides a perfect backdrop for the various axial layers to emerge. The space is primarily divided into three zones: the bar on the left, the central double-height floor, and the private dining area on the right.
The bar area features an undulated ceiling of twigs, straw, and thatch with miniature incandescent bulbs, creating an ethereal ambiance. This space culminates in a dynamic, curvilinear bar that stands out as we transition from a more relaxed setting.
Immersive Dining Experiences
The private dining space features wooden slats, planters, and striking abstract ceiling fixtures. In the central seating area, bricks are laid in varied courses to create an engaging texture play.
Bohemian and tribal motifs adorn paneling and doors, enriching the design. The aim is to create an immersive dining experience that stimulates all senses and arouses curiosity among guests.

All my life I’ve been a cat person. I’ve had lots of cats, but never a dog (except as a child, but he wasn’t really “my” dog) until a few years ago. Until that point, I had no basis of comparison in terms of basic personality characteristics and behaviors between the two species But now that I’ve been able to observe the difference, I’d like to share a few things I’ve learned from my cats.
Give love when you feel like it, not when it is expected or demanded of you.
Save the rest for yourself. It’s okay to be selfish sometimes. After all, if you love yourself more, you will have more love to give to those around you. This is good advice for those who put everyone else first, and most days are left with nothing in the energy tank for themselves.
Have you ever watched a cat and noticed how well they nurture themselves? They curl up in warm, cozy places, luxuriate in the window when the sun is streaming in, and carefully bathe every square inch of their bodies. When was the last time you lit a candle, turned out the light, and soaked your weary body in a hot bubble bath? Or read the morning paper outside on your front porch and felt the morning sun warming your bones? Maybe it’s time to start!
Take naps, lots of naps, whenever you can.
Studies have shown that taking a nap increases productivity, reduces stress and improves overall well-being. Simply observing a cat can tell you that this is true. So go ahead, pull out your blanket and pillow and crawl under your desk for a power nap.
Don’t worry about what anyone thinks about you, march to the beat of your own drum.
This is what I call “living authentically.” Cats come to you only when they want something from you. Other than that, they saunter around the house as if they own the place and couldn’t care less what you or anyone else (especially the dog) thinks of them. We could all benefit from learning this lesson.
They gave the term “bitch” to the wrong species.
When Annabelle (the dog) accidentally bites me while we are roughhousing, she can tell from my sudden change in demeanor that she has hurt me, and she actually comes over with her little boo-boo face and gives me a kiss in apology. When Spike springboards off me while digging her claws firmly into my abdomen, she really could care less that she has hurt me.
Or When Max (the other dog) knocks something over with his exuberance, he gets that “uh oh” look on his face and then wags his entire body in apology. When Fluffy knocks something off the counter, she saunters casually away from the wreckage as if nothing had happen.
But be them cats or dogs, our furry children provide us with love, comfort, and an endless supply of entertainment. We love them like children and could not imagine our lives without them. To know the love of an animal is to be truly blessed.
What about you? Do you have cats? What lessons have they taught you? I want to know.
I love hearing from you. And to prove it, for every comment you leave, you’ll be entered into a drawing. At the end of the month, I will draw a lucky winner who will receive a $10 gift card (your choice, Amazon, Starbucks or iTunes). Winners will be announced in the first post of the following month. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Bay of Islands is one of New Zealand's best-known destinations. It was first settled by the Maori over 700 years ago. It received its European name from Captain Cook in 1769, and the town of Waitangi (about 10 minutes drive from the marina where we are currently based), was the site where a treaty was signed between the British and the Maori in 1840. As you can see from our tracks below, we have been exploring the area over the last few weeks, in preparation for a series of visitors.
We can report that it is, indeed, a Bay of Islands, and also a Bay of Bays; a multitude of anchorages for all weather conditions.

Tourist boats can motor right through the hole, but Alchemy 1 has a small impediment. A 22 metre impediment, actually (our mast).
The engineer calculates the likelihood of a successful transit through the hole in the rock. |
Papa recently spent a few days with us, and helped us to scout some of the best locations.
In particular, we wanted to work out which of the channels were navigable, and which anchorages were the safest, so our future visitors can make the most of their time with us.
Scouting some of the trickier channels and laying down tracks so we know what we can safely navigate next time. |

Then he retired for a well-earned (and unusual) rest.
The weather was not too flash, so I did a little fishing in the rain. It was worth it!
Papa availed himself of the Alchemy lounge as he did some important research using the Alchemy Library.
And reflected on the sights and experiences the Bay of Islands has to offer.
The Bay is less than an hour from our berth at the Opua Marina to some of the prettiest anchorages in the Bay.
Come and visit us, there is so much to see! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What needs to be prepared before installation?
It normally takes 2-4 days to install an elevator based on a “platform lift type” solution. The more floors the more time needed.
Prior to installation, you need to consider how much space you have available and where the home lift can be placed. SWIFT requires minimal space below and above the home lift. The most important thing to prepare is the correct dimensions for the “hole-through-the-floor” and the pit (if you want the door to be flush with the floor).
Normally, SWIFT simply checks that this preparation work has been done in the right way by checking the drawings or making the actual measurements during the home visit. At additional cost SWIFT can also manage the preparation of the pit and the cut out of the “hole-through-the-floor.”
If the home lift is to be installed in the middle of a staircase, SWIFT needs to review drawings to make sure there are sufficient fixing points. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

François-Marie Banier (born 27 June 1947) is a French novelist, playwright, artist, actor and photographer. He is particularly known for his photographs of celebrities and other public figures and for his friendships with members of high society. In a prominent legal case, in 2016 he was convicted of 'abuse of weakness' of the elderly billionaire Liliane Bettencourt. Banier was born in Paris, France. He grew up in a middle-class family in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. He has claimed he had been "completely incomprehensible to [his] parents". Despite his modest background, from an early age he was a precocious and hyperactive talent, who was able to develop friendships with some of Paris' wealthiest arts patrons and artists. At the age of 16, he met Salvador Dalí, who would send his car to bring Banier to his suite at the Hotel Meurice to discuss art. At the age of 19, he befriended the wealthy heiress and patron of the arts Marie-Laure de Noailles who was then 64. Banier published his first novel, Les Résidences secondaires ou la Vie distraite (Second Homes or Distracted Life), at the age of 22. Around the same time, a well-known Parisian designer and antique dealer Madeleine Castaing collected some of his photographs. Over the years, Banier befriended many well-known public figures and celebrities, including Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Cardin, Françoise Sagan, Samuel Beckett, Vladimir Horowitz, Louis Aragon, François Mitterrand, Kate Moss, Mick Jagger and Princess Caroline of Monaco. He is a friend of Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Vanessa Paradis, whom he met at his home in the south of France. Banier is godfather to their daughter, Lily-Rose. As of 2008 he shared his house with actor Pascal Greggory and his nephew Martin d’Orgeval. In 1987, Banier was commissioned to photograph Liliane Bettencourt and Federico Fellini for the French magazine Egoiste. Bettencourt was one of the principal shareholders of L'Oréal and one of the wealthiest persons in the world with an estimated fortune of US$40.1 billion. Over the ensuing years, Banier and Bettencourt became friends and she became his chief benefactor, bestowing gifts upon him estimated to be worth as much as €1.3 billion. These gifts included a life insurance policy worth €253 million in 2003, another life insurance policy worth €262 million in 2006, 11 works of art in 2001 valued at €20 million, including paintings by Picasso, Matisse, Mondrian, Delaunay and Léger and a photograph by surrealist Man Ray and cash. The life insurance policies were allegedly signed over to Banier after Bettencourt was recovering from two hospital stays in 2003 and 2006. ...

Tips for buying in Spain
Buying a luxury property overseas can be stressful. There’s a lot to think about. That’s why it’s essential to follow a few sensible pointers to ensure you have the smoothest possible buying experience. I’ve written these tips with Spain in mind, but many could equally apply to other overseas property purchases too.
Know what you want
First, be clear on your expectations. Put some time and energy into thinking about the kind of property and location that would work best for you. Do you want a remote villa that’s cut off from the rest of humanity or are you looking for a townhouse or an apartment that’s at the heart of the action? How about a marina-front apartment with its own pool in one of Spain’s most exclusive locations?
Knowing how far you are prepared to be from the beach, local amenities, the airport and so on will all play into the range of locations available to you. Define your requirements and limits before you fall in love with an incredible property that ends up not ticking all the right boxes location-wise.
Know who to speak to
When you’re buying a luxury property in another country, it’s essential to buy through a reputable company that you can vet thoroughly. This is not the time to be charmed by a good sales pitch and take a chance on a company that you can’t research in detail online. Longevity alone doesn’t prove a company’s credentials, but it certainly speak to the brand’s ability to weather changing economic circumstances – something that feels increasingly important in this day and age.
In Spain, this is particularly important. The housing market has seen significant ups and downs over the years. Companies that have made it through the financial crisis and the pandemic are a good place to start when it comes to finding a solid, reliable organisation through which to buy.
As well as checking out the company’s experience, look for a business that speaks your language. Handling an overseas property transaction becomes infinitely more stressful when you have to engage translators and interpreters in order to purchase the luxury home that has caught your eye. It’s by no means impossible to make a purchase in a language you don’t speak, but it’s certainly easier to do it in your native tongue.
Know your limits
Buying a ‘luxury’ property means different things to different people, so you need to be clear on your available budget from the outset, including what your upper limit is, and on how you’re funding your purchase. Without that clarity, it’s easy for the prices of the homes you’re looking at to creep up and up, as you view increasingly luxurious abodes.
If you’re buying a newly built home or purchasing one off-plan, then another tip is to buy direct from the developer. This not only cuts out middlepersons and potential additional fees but also means there’s more potential for ensuring the property meets your particular needs. With off-plan purchases, for example, depending on the stage of construction, it might be possible to add in certain features or even adapt the layout to suit your preferences.
Knowing your limits doesn’t just apply to money – it also applies to knowledge. As such, unless you hold some kind of Spanish property law qualification, you’ll need a suitably experienced lawyer to assist in your purchase. Every country has its own approach to property ownership and the purchase process, so find a local lawyer who can facilitate the legal process and ensure that it all runs smoothly. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Exactly as the name suggests, these companies buy houses directly from homeowners. You can sell your home to these companies at a potential price rather than going through a real estate agent and paying a lot of commission. This is an excellent option for people struggling to find the right buyer for their house. This option is becoming more popular as it makes selling properties more accessible for the sellers and cheaper for the buyers. There are many reasons you should sell your house to online home buying services and how they are better than real estate agents.
The Selling Process is Faster
Since they buy directly from homeowners, no other agents are involved in the transaction. Working with just one person, no matter which company you choose, allows you to save both time and money since these companies offer you a cash deal. It means that you don’t have to go through the hassle of finding a real estate agent who will charge you for their services in addition to the commission fees and other fees that you will have to pay.
Get Cash Payments
This is perhaps the most significant benefit of selling your home to online home buying companies. Your agent will only look to close deals that can be paid in cash since many people prefer to avoid transaction fees by working with cash. There are no commissions or other fees associated with receiving cash payments. It also makes selling your house much more accessible, as finding a reputable cash home buyer in Jacksonville, FL is not a tough job for these companies.
Get a Higher Price
There is never a good reason why you should choose a real estate agent over selling your property directly to online home buying services. However, the real estate agent will significantly cut the transaction since they have to pay their employees and charge you various fees. There are many advantages to working with real estate agents, but selling directly is the only option for homeowners who want to get the best price for their house.
Real estate agents can be very frustrating, and trying to work with them takes a lot of time and effort on your part, especially if you are not satisfy with their services. Working directly with home buying services means that you don’t have to spend hours on the phone or to wait around for people to decide if they want to make an offer on your house.
In addition, since they are willing to buy all types of houses, you don’t have to worry about your house’s size or the repairs you need to make.
There is no reason why you should use a real estate agent when you can sell your house directly to the buyer. Working with the home buying services will make the entire process very easy and quick and get a much better price than you would get if you choose to work with an agent. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Subsequent, he requested me fundamental Machine Studying and Information Science questions and you must sort it on Google doc precisely the way in which you’d write for a scholar :
- What’s L1 and L2 regularization?
- What’s the dropout layer?
- What’s the central restrict theorem?
- What are the methods to keep away from overfitting in Choice Tree?
- How does splitting occur in Choice Tree?
2) Within the subsequent spherical, you’re given 3 subjects (Choice Tree, Backpropagation, PCA) and choose one subject to arrange and train the interviewer. **You aren’t given a lot time to arrange**
I selected Choice Tree and ready slides for it. You’ll be able to train on a writing pad too.
Mainly after you train the interviewer, he got here up with some follow-up questions like why can we use log2 within the Entropy system?
How do you deal with knowledge with Choice Tree if it has each numerical and Classification knowledge?
Is Choice Tree parametric or non-parametric?
and a few questions associated to the slides I ready.
This spherical checks extra the way you deal with follow-up questions and never what you reply | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Have you got tired of seeing the Twitter posts of a friend, family member or co-worker but you don’t want to stop follow him? In that case, you may be interested to know that Twitter has a very useful feature in this type of situation. We are talking about Mute, a function to stop seeing the tweets of an account without stopping following the user.
Aspects to take into account
Before commenting on the steps to follow to silence accounts on Twitter, it is important to highlight some of the most relevant points to understand the operation of this feature. First of all, all accounts that we silence will be able to follow us on Twitter . In addition, we can also follow accounts that we have previously silenced. On the other hand, it must be taken into account that when we silence a user we will not stop following them automatically. Finally, it should be remembered that the users we silence will continue to have the option of sending us direct messages through the platform. If you are not satisfied with how Mute works, you may prefer to completely block a user or unfollow them.
What happens if I silence an account to the one that I follow?
In case of silencing an account that you already follow, the answers and mentions of said account will continue to appear in the notifications section. As for the tweets published by said account (before silencing it), they will be automatically deleted from your timeline. Of course, it is important to note that when you access a conversation, the responses of the silenced accounts will be visible.
What happens if I silence an account that I do not follow?
How Mute works varies slightly if we silence an account that I do not follow we continue. In that case, responses and user mentions will not appear in our notifications tab. Also, if a silenced account starts a conversation in which we are mentioned, Twitter will only show us notifications from the accounts that we do follow .
In case of entering a conversation in which a muted user has intervened, their messages will not be visible. And not only that, because if another user we follow quotes a tweet from a muted account, the tweet will be hidden and we will only see a message indicating that the tweet is not available.
Steps to follow to silence accounts
At this point, you are probably wondering how to use the function. The process to follow to silence Twitter accounts is extremely simple. Specifically, the social network offers us several ways to do it.
- Mute an account from a tweet . To do this, you just have to press the icon with the down arrow located at the top of the tweet and choose the Mute option. Then Twitter will ask us if we are sure about it and we can confirm the action.
- Mute an account from a profile . Twitter also offers us the option to completely silence an account by visiting the user’s profile. Once you are in the corresponding profile, you just have to press the gear icon (iOS) or additional content (Android) and press Mute.
Of course, it is important to note that the accounts that we silence will have no way of knowing that we have silenced them. Also, it is a reversible function, so we can leave everything as it was if we change our mind later. Taking into account all the above, we are faced with a really useful option if we do not want to continue seeing the tweets of a certain user but we do not want to get to the point of blocking him completely .

The listing detail page of the Directory WordPress theme organizes the content with multiple tabs. These are the tab particular to maps, special offer and a video tab. As the name suggests, the video tab will contain any video that is uploaded with the listings
Separate video tab for the listing
In the Directory WordPress theme the video is not directly provided into the detail page but it is presented in a tabbed form. This makes it very easy for the visitors to directly navigate to the video. They won’t have to scroll down to check for the video. If the video isn’t there for the listing, the tab will not be shown. If it is there, a separate tab with video will appear. The user’s can directly click on the tab and start watching the video.
Consider a website locallisting.com with all the local businesses listed on it. There’s a listing for an amusement park on the website. The visitor will be presented with everything in an organized manner. He will first see the basic details of the park in the overview tab, the images the address,etc. After it he moves to the map tab to view the location of the park on map and get directions to reach it. After this, he comes to the video tab to view the video uploaded with the listing. However, if he wishes to view the video at first he can just click on the video tab instead of scrolling and searching the whole page.
Separate Special Offer tab on listings
The special offers that will be displayed in the special offer tab comes from the special offer custom field. This field is available for the user to enter details into when submitting a listing from the front end. This field plays an important role in attracting the user attention to the listing. Therefore, the data entered into this field will then be shown in a separate tab in the detail page.
Advantages of a separate special offers tab
The special offers are a highlight of the listings. The offers will attract visitor’s attention to the listing. If the special offers are not highlighted or made readily available to the visitors they may leave the listing page unaware of the offers and benefits it has to offer. Therefore the special offers are displayed in a special tab in the listing detail page.
If there is no special offer for the listing, and the field is left blank when submitting the listing than the tab for the special offer won’t be shown at all on the listing detail page.
Consider a website manyproducts.com that has listings for the businesses that sells particular products. The special offers tab plays a very important role here to promote listing and attract user attention. For the visitor – he won’t need to scroll up and down to find information about the current offers. For the listing owners – they will get a special place to display their offers, where the visitors can find them directly.
Separate Map tab for the listing
The detail page of the Directory website will contain a map that will show a marker on the address listed in the listing. This will help the visitor to locate the listing on the map. A map is a great way to display the address.
The Map on the detail page will also let the users to get directions. The users need to enter their location, and then press the get direction button and all the navigational routes and markings will appear on the map.
To know more about the navigation and get direction facilities, click here.
To disable the map tab on the detail page, navigate to Dashboard >> Tevolution >> Settings >> Detail page settings >> Turn off the Enable map tab.
After disabling the map tab, you can integrate the detail page map widget into the detail page.
Detail page map widget
The detail page map widget is a simple widget that can be placed in the detail page. Set the detail page map height and the map will start showing the address location of the listing.
There’s a website called mydirectory.com where there are the listings for the local businesses. A visitor comes to the website to view a business details. He can use the map tab or the map widget to get the location. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Nadal's career ended earlier than he had hoped on Tuesday. Team Spain was the favorite to defeat the Netherlands in the quarterfinals in Malaga, but it ended disappointingly for those who wanted to see the tennis legend win the Davis Cup in his final professional appearance.
Spanish captain David Ferrer chose Nadal for the opening singles match against Botic van de Zandschulp. The former world No. 1 struggled throughout the contest and lost 4-6, 4-6 in what turned out to be his last match.
A passionate Carlos Alcaraz leveled the tie by beating Tallon Griekspoor. The 21-year-old spoke before the Davis Cup Finals began about how determined he was to win the title to honor Nadal.
Unfortunately for the four-time Grand Slam champion, those hopes ended a few hours later. Wesley Koolhof and van de Zandschulp sealed Team Netherlands' place in the semifinal by defeating Alcaraz and Marcel Granollers.
A retirement ceremony was then held for Nadal. After he addressed the crowd, a video of brief tributes from stars like Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Andy Murray, and Andres Iniesta was played.
Nadal stated that he hoped to be remembered as a good person before saying goodbye to the fans and his teammates on the court one more time. The ceremony for one of the greatest sportspeople ever then concluded.
Although the ceremony was emotional, some were disappointed with it. Rafael's uncle and former coach, Toni Nadal, felt underwhelmed by the ceremony and admitted it did not meet his expectations.
Spanish captain Ferrer also felt disappointed with it. He said figures like Djokovic and Federer not being inside the arena for the moment meant the ceremony felt watered down and did not give Nadal the send-off he deserved.
Moya, who took over as Nadal's primary coach from Toni in 2017, can be added to those who did not like the ceremony. The 1998 French Open champion called it shabby when speaking to Radioestadio Noche despite insisting he was not trying to blame anyone.
"It's not the time to blame anyone... But the feeling we're all left with is a bit scruffy and shabby... It's true that it's a Tuesday night, but this is sport, and it was known months in advance that if Spain lost, Rafa would retire. Nadal is far above all this."
Nadal's coach bluntly stated that the farewell did not live up to what the 22-time Grand Slam champion means to the sport. That is partially because Team Spain was eliminated and Nadal lost his last match, but Moya thinks the underwhelming ceremony worsened matters.
"I saw Rafa calm, I had assumed that this moment was going to come. We knew for months that this was going to happen, but we are assimilating it. It has been a farewell that has not lived up to what Rafa Nadal means to the sport."
No comments have been made by Nadal yet about the ceremony, but Ferrer, Uncle Toni, and Moya's disappointment with it might indicate that the 38-year-old felt similarly. That is impossible to know for sure, though. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Last week while in Brunswick, I passed by this place. The parking lot was full and with a name like "Sweet Angel" I had to know what kind of place it was. The unassuming building and logo leaves a lot to the imagination. A quick Google search revealed it to be a Thai Restaurant. And clearly a very loved one with devout patrons from all over the area! A skim of the Google reviews have me kicking myself for not stopping in for a dish of their Pad Thai! So, for now I'll have to leave it to you to check out, but I assure you I'll be there next time I'm in the area!

As most fight fans already know, on Saturday August 9th lineal Jr. Welterweight champion Danny Garcia (28-0-16KO’s) will be fighting journeyman lightweight Rod Salka (19-3 3KO’s) at the famous Barclays Center in Brooklyn New York. The bout will be televised live on Showtime.
There is no doubt that up until now 140lb champion Danny Garcia has been taking on good opposition and had been facing the best in his division. He holds wins over Erik Morales (twice), Amir Khan, Zab Judah, and Lucas Matthysse. However, no fight fan including myself is happy or excited about his upcoming fight against Rod Salka. Despite his lackluster performance in his last fight against Mauricio Herrera, Garcia is still regarded as a world class fighter and is still a World Champion and is expected by fight fans to take on good opposition like any other champion is. At the same time, Showtime subscribers also expect to be provided with competitive fights and not mismatches. A match up like this can only do bad things for our sport as Rod Salka hasn’t earned the right to be in the ring with the lineal Jr. Welterweight champion.
However, the blame shouldn’t be put on Rod Salka but rather on Showtime sports executive Stephen Espinoza and Golden Boy Promotions president Oscar De La Hoya.
“I get all the backlash, (from the fans and media) I understand, I get it,” stated Salka. Even Salka understands the rage from fight fans around the world which truly shows how pathetic this matchup is. However, to Rod Salka’s credit, he is determined to win this fight and is planning on taking full advantage of the opportunity. Salka said “It’s actually easier because now all I have to focus on is boxing.” He also added by saying. “This fight here has given me the opportunity to go away to camp and focus 100%.”
Style wise, Salka would be considered a boxer by most observers. He has good feet and moves well and provides a moving target for his opponents. He has good defense when boxing on the outside and works of the jab, though he isn’t too accurate with it. Salka seems to sometimes punch with his fists open which probably explains his lack of power. He also isn’t the most accurate or crisp puncher.
Salka stands at 5’7 with a 62 ½ inch reach making him a relatively small Jr. welterweight compared to Danny Garcia who stands at 5’9 with a 68 ½ inch reach. However, Salka made it clear in his interview with (Tha Boxing Voice) that the weight won’t be a difference maker in this fight. He stated “I can probably make 130; I can make 135 you Know what I mean? But to do that man I cant to a push up or a pull up and I really got to watch the diet.”
He also went on to say, “At 140lbs I’m able to do some of my functional exercises and do some different routines and do some strength and conditioning stuff and I’m able to keep that muscle on rather than to burn it off to get to the lighter weights so I’m happy.”
Personally, I am happy for a blue collar guy like Salka getting a chance like this but at the end of the day this fight is unacceptable and boxing fans expect more for being a Showtime subscriber. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

July 9, 2022AK 47 Strain
Bud Size: Medium
Stickiness Level : 8/10
Smell Level: 8/10
Flavour: Earthy/ Pungent
THC Content: 22%
AK 47 Strain
AK 47 Strain, also known as “AK,” is a sativa-dominant hybrid marijuana strain that mixes Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani varieties. Don’t let its intense name fool you: AK 47 Strain will leave you relaxed and mellow. The result is a complex blend of flavors and effects. AK 47 Strain may deliver a steady and long-lasting cerebral buzz that will keep you mentally alert and engaged in creative or social activities. While its scent is sour and earthy, its sweet, floral notes can only be fully realized in the taste.
AK-47 is one of the world’s top strains and a favorite for many. There is hardly a smoker or cannabis grower who doesn’t know about this legendary strain. The sativa-dominant AK 47 Srain UK as we know now was created by Simon from Serious Seeds in 1992. Its origin goes back much further to the 70s where it probably begun as a cross between Thai and Afghani.
In 1999, ak 47 autoflowering strain was re-crossed so it produced more uniform seeds.
Some may wonder where AK 47 strain got its name from. The strain is named after the famous Russian Kalashnikov rifle, but not so much because it would be a “violent” strain. Its high, while very powerful is actually very balanced. The strain got this name since it can literally knock out some less experienced smokers with just one hit. That’s why Simon gave this strain the nickname “One Hit Wonder”.
AK-47 is one of the most awarded cannabis strains in history. It has won many Cannabis Cup awards thanks to its very high THC content of more than 20%. You can find it on many lists of recommended “Top Cannabis Strains” as the strain that every grower and smoker should at least try once.
SMELL, TASTE AND EFFECT OF AK-47 Strain
AK-47 produces dark, very juicy and compact buds with an intense, spicy skunk-like aroma. You can smell hints of pine, sandalwood and some lighter citrus tones. Her smoke has a robust, strong and refreshing citrus flavor with some deeper skunk undertones.
The effect of AK-47 Strains, although very powerful, is relaxing and mellow.
AK-47 Strain delivers a steady and long-lasting cerebral buzz that keeps you mentally alert and engaged in creative or social activities. Its high is nicely balanced and can relax and energize at the same time.
This is a strain that can help relieve anxiety, depression, chronic pains and stress. They don’t call it a “one hit wonder” without a reason. Its high can be very powerful so that less experienced users should take it slow when they meet AK 47 Strain for their first time.
HOW TO GROW AK-47 WEED STRAIN
Its outstanding high and good yields make her also the favorite of many cannabis growers. Yet, her beauty and exceptionally aromatic buds come at a price.
It is one of the most intensively smelling and odourless plants to grow. Growers of the strain will need to take good care of odour control and want adequate air circulation. With her juicy and very resinous buds, she’s also more prone to mold as compared to some other strains.
Aside from that, she’s easy to grow. It will only reach a medium height so that it is suitable for many types of grows. It can grow well if grown in soil or hydroponically.
Although she will also grow outdoors, she prefers a milder climate. With temperatures above 25°C, AK 47 Strain will still give the same yield of up to 500g/m², but her buds become less dense and somewhat fluffy. This is the reason why most growers like to grow her indoors in a controlled setting.
The flowering time of ak 47 auto strain is eight to nine weeks, which is pretty short for a sativa-dominant cannabis strain. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A new whole-of-government approach to research funding – the National Research Investment Plan – will ensure Australians continue to benefit from a record investment in science and research, according to Commonwealth minister, Senator Chris Evans.
…for the first time, a comprehensive national research planning process will enable a coordinated approach to research investment to ensure it meets national needs and provides value for money.
He said the Gillard Government is investing almost $9 billion in science, research and innovation, an overall increase in funding of 35% since 2007.
Universities Australia (UA) welcomed the plan as a much needed coherent framework for how we invest in and utilise the research critical to Australia’s future economic prosperity and the health and wellbeing of Australians. UA chief Belinda Robinson, acknowledged the plan as “an important first step in building a world class national research system”. UA’s comment suggested that a useful second step might be $542 million National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy, which “expired” earlier this year:
The absence of a replacement program for NCRIS is of great concern and has the potential to leave hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of research facilities stranded, hundreds of our best and brightest researchers without jobs and the abandonment of very substantial investments in world-class research facilities, networks and infrastructure.
Senator Brett Mason, opposition shadows for universities and said the plan offers plenty of generic and motherhood statements but no real action and no funding.
As they say in Texas, it’s all hat, no cattle – all aspiration, no perspiration to make it happen. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Standard Chartered Bank has offered education on financial literacy to students of the Armed Forces Senior High School, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
The education centred on savings, budgeting and investments which according to the bank, is aimed at exposing the students to adopt a saving culture, know how to spend within budget and how to plan for the future.
In a statement, the bank noted that: “We are basically trying to help the communities in which we serve and getting people to be conscious of money and to save. We teach them that they don’t have to wait to have a lot of money to be able to save.”
With over 8,000 staff in Africa, the bank encourages its staff to use their interests and skills to help out in the local communities where it is based to make a real difference.
Members of staff have three days each outside their leave to engage in volunteering. Many spend time working on causes the bank supports such as planting trees, mentoring to training youth on health and hygiene, eradicating preventable blindness and support for people living with HIV/AIDS. This education on financial literacy is the first project for the year 2018.
According to the bank, they come together as a team of employee volunteers and then take the students through the model. “We don’t put them all in an assembly hall to talk to them. We go to the classrooms where we can be able to work with a small group to explain to them for easy understanding and good interaction of questions and answers.”
The model was in three folds. There was a template representation of a young person’s average budget, where she/he starts the month with a deficit because of lack of financial education. He therefore spends all his money and he has to borrow and is constantly living in debt.
The second was a family budget where the couple put their money together to plan for expenditures and bills for the upkeep of the home. The third was an average budget of students’ ‘pocket’ money. During the interactive session, they were asked what they used their monies for. Some of the students who responded were educated to let go of or reduce purchasing of certain items such drinks and biscuits after every meal in order to save
According to the bank: “We made them understand that if they save as little as GHC 50 pesewas per week, at the end of the year they would have saved GHC 250. They could be having their own money for personal things and as a High School student, GHC 250 is quite a huge sum of money. Even if they decide not to touch the money, by the time they complete school, they would have been having GHC 750.” This enlightened the students and exposed them to the possibilities of even starting their own businesses.
After the education, a feedback form was distributed to the students for immediate feedback on the lessons they had learnt and how they benefited from the exposure. However, the bank is expected to go back after a year, for in-depth feedback from the students for assessments and other strategies to adopt to make the education successful
The employee volunteers also give feedback to the school authorities to draw their attention to some wrongful behaviours on what some of the students use their monies for such as gambling. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Faribault Mill, the esteemed American heritage brand renowned for its handcrafted, Made-in-USA wool and cotton throw blankets, bed blankets, sheets and accessories, announces the return of a craft beer brewed in collaboration with award-winning, Minneapolis-based Fulton Brewing to commemorate the second anniversary of Spread The Warmth. This national philanthropic campaign, launched by Faribault Mill in November 2022, donates blankets when blankets are purchased to organizations serving youth experiencing homelessness across America.
The limited-edition Faribault Mill Spread The Warmth Chocolate Cherry Stout will hit shelves throughout Fulton’s distribution network starting November 11. Each four-pack of 16-ounce cans features a classic and collectable Faribault Mill Heritage blanket design on the label.
“This year’s Chocolate Cherry Stout embodies the perfect blend of craftsmanship and compassion forged by two Minnesota manufacturers with a goal of spreading warmth one blanket – and one pint – at a time,” said Ryan Petz, Fulton Brewing founder and CEO. The 5.5% ABV stout delivers a velvety smooth experience with layers of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and subtle tart cherry notes, complemented by dark-roasted specialty malts and Bravo hops to sip and savor throughout the holiday season.
A portion of proceeds from every four-pack supports Spread The Warmth, locally benefitting YouthLink serving homeless youth ages 16-24 in Minneapolis.
“For 159 years, Faribault Mill has been keeping Americans warm,” said Ross Widmoyer, President and CEO of Faribault Mill. “The holiday season is a celebration of family, traditions, gratitude and giving, and this collaboration between two local brands with shared values serves as an opportunity to raise awareness for a cause close to our hearts.” To-date, Faribault’s Spread The Warmth campaign has donated over 12,000 blankets nationwide, far exceeding its goal. The campaign is here to stay, becoming a permanent fixture for Faribault Mill.
Beer enthusiasts and philanthropists alike can preview the collaboration at Fulton’s taproom during a special release party starting at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7. The event will feature exclusive giveaways of Faribault Mill pint warmers and blankets. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
(HELSINKI, Finland) — A small movie theater in the heart of Helsinki took a hit because of the pandemic. But now that lockdowns have ended, business is booming as movie lovers return to the big screen.
Riviera is located in a lively, spirited district called Kallio that’s full of bars, restaurants and boutiques. The small cinema has a bar serving drinks and food, a setup that’s not common in Finland.
The owner of Riviera, entrepreneur Atte Laurila, answers the door to the cozy, warm little theater. The first thing you see is the bar, then books and posters about movies. The 59-seat theater is in the back.
Like every other business in the industry, Riviera suffered because of the pandemic.Restrictions to control the epidemic changed frequently during the last year and a half. Riviera had to lay off members from the staff of 10 people, and they also closed and reopened several times during the pandemic.
“We always figured out different ways to run the business. We closed only for short periods, one or two weeks at a time,” Laurila explained.
In fact, the pandemic gave time to improve the business.
“We solved many problems during the pandemic. We have a much better flow now,” Laurila told The Click. “Now we are transitioning to a new phase, which is growing the business.”
Riviera received financial support from different organizations. Nevertheless, money was tight. In 2019, the company called Riviera Kallio Oy’s net revenue was around $1.4 million. In 2020, it was about half of that.
Now, things are looking up and customers have found their way back. According to Laurila, user traffic on the website is currently five to 10 times bigger compared to 2019.
“Sales are on a totally different level now,” Laurila said. “People have gone wild. Never before have we sold out this many shows weeks from now.”
Big hits as of press time are the new James Bond movie and recent Cannes Film Festival winner, “Compartment No.6” (a Finnish film).
Owning a Business Was a Dream Come True
Laurila said he always wanted to start his own business. He used to work in the movie industry in a film-production company located in Helsinki. After years in the field, he decided to make something happen for his dream. He participated in a cultural project, which allowed him to spend a lot of time in New York City.
“The atmosphere of the city, that everything is possible, really affected me. It encouraged me to try this out,” he said.
The idea of a little movie theater originated in New York when Laurila spent time in cinemas with his friend who lived in Brooklyn. One source of inspiration was Nitehawk Cinema in Williamsburg, which was one of the first movie theaters to offer drinks and food in New York. Besides Nitehawk, the whole city itself worked as an inspiration.
“I wanted to do something inside the movie business, but I wanted to find an area of the field where I could do things differently,” Laurila tells The Click. “Displaying movies myself started to feel really interesting.”Back in Helsinki, Laurila found business partners and a space he could start the business in. One thing led to another, and Riviera opened its doors in 2016.
Even though Riviera is an individual little theater, it doesn’t really have to compete with big chains, according to Laurila. For example, the Finnkino brand owned by AMC Theaters has a different kind of business model.
“I’m happy with how well we have preserved our place in the industry. Other entrepreneurs and companies wanted to do the same as we did after we started,” he said.
There are a couple small cinemas with a bar in Helsinki. In general, places like Riviera are not common in Finland. Other businesses have tried to follow Riviera’s lead, but nothing is quite similar to Riviera, according to Laurila.
“We are focusing on the things we are good at. I try not to think about the competition too much,” Laurila said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A post on #personalbranding …after a while!
Because it is that time of the year when we look back, look forward and resolve to walk into the new year, being our best version.
If there is one #asset we should carry with us into the new year, it is our intentionally crafted personal brand. One that not only looks good on the outside, but genuinely feels good on the inside as well.
But do you know why exactly you need one?
What some of the simplest, most basic reasons are to work on your #brand?
Here are a few:
Branding helps you stand out (visibility -> credibility -> profitability)
Helps unlock opportunities as you become more discoverable
Builds trust and relatability
Strengthens your visual image and makes you high recall.
Building your own brand is more crucial now than ever, whether you’re an employee or an entrepreneur.
There was a time when only celebrities or politicians or big companies had personal brands. A time when famous singers, musicians, and actors got all the attention.
Was it even possible for an entrepreneur or a business coach or a bootstrapped founder to become a brand back then?
Luckily, things have changed dramatically over the last decade.
If you’re willing to put in the right #effort and time, you can become a brand that attracts the best opportunities with great ease.
But it wouldn’t happen overnight.
The secret to personal branding success lies in knowing where to #invest your time, energy and resources to get the desired results.

it began with a rain drop hitting the tip of my nose. then another slinding down the back of my neck. the world tuned grey and blue as the rain came pouring down on me. i ran, laughing under the ledge of a building and there you were. hair slicked back and rain drops dripping from your eye lashes. we smiled at each other, laughed alittle. waited for the rain to let up. you were so sexy. the smell of your body and the rain went straight to my head. i wanted you with a feirce determination. i think you sensed it too. when the rain had tuned into a light drizzle and i had learned your name and a few small tidbits about you i said goodbye and turned to go. you reached out and grabbed my hand. pulled me to you. bent your head close to mine and whispered into my ear. i felt the soft rasp of your lips against my skin and the warm breath against the shell of my ear. come with me~ you whispered and without thinking i followed you across the grass and across the street and into a building and down a hall and up stairs and into your room. i would have followed you farther. anywhere. it was the begining. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A Deputy Finance Minister, Abena Osei Asare, is rallying Ghanaians to support the e-levy as a homegrown solution to the country’s revenue problems.
Speaking on Eyewitness News in response to calls for Ghana to head to the IMF and abandon the e-levy, she said it would expand Ghana’ tax net significantly.
“This I believe is a homegrown solution that will best serve our interest, that will rope in more people into the tax net, and we believe that with this e-levy alone, we will get up to about 85 percent of the informal sector getting the opportunity to pay taxes.”
She also said the e-levy was a better alternative to a potential return to the International Monetary Fund.
“Globally, there are issues everywhere and all countries are trying very hard to find space within themselves to develop and then you have [a method you can use] to raise more revenue, and you say you are shelving that and running to IMF?”.
“What happened to homegrown solutions? What happened to the spirit of yes, we can do it ourselves… Let us come together, support this government to push this e-levy, and we will see the results of the E-Levy,” Mrs Asare said.
The Deputy Minister was speaking after a former Chair of the Finance Committee of Parliament, Dr. Mark Assibey Yeboah, urged the government to reconsider its decision not to go back to the International Monetary Fund in the face of the country’s dwindling revenues.
The e-levy was introduced by the government in the 2022 Budget on basic transactions related to digital payments and electronic platform transactions.
The rate in the budget was 1.75 percent, but it is expected to be reduced to 1.5 percent.
This levy will apply to electronic transactions that are more than GH¢100 on a daily basis. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I'm back to Mrs. 4444's Friday Fragments this week. It always feels wonderful to defrag.
Sat chatting with a friend the other night while our boys were in karate. It was hard to concentrate because she smelled so strongly of gasoline and I debated whether or not to mention that to her. I chose not to because I am working on being demure this week. When I got home, I realized that I was the one who had spilled the gasoline.
Do you suppose if I had won Mental P Mama's contest, that she would have given me the jacket she was wearing in this picture Daryl posted? That would have been kind.
I would like to meet a blogger in real life, so, WON, you had better watch out since we live 4 miles apart!! Sonic and soon?? I do promise not to spill my slush in my lap while we're together.
Decided on Monday night that I needed to paint our 1980's bathroom vanity this week. By Tuesday morning, I was pretty sure the vanity would look better if I tore out the tile on the floor and in the tub. However, I got distracted pestering Jill and some others with emails, and never got around to tearing that tile out. I suspect that Checkered is very relieved.
Sent my son on a big fieldtrip to here. The problem was that he had an infected throat and was under doctor's orders to stay home. I am pretty certain that school will be out for the summer by the time the health department and angry parents track us down.
Thank-you, Facebook friends who encouraged me to get a second opinion on my boy's asthma. Of course, the doctor looked puzzled when I told her I was there because my FB friends had sent me.
But on an EWWW note, my child was sick again Wednesday night. Coughed violently and vomited in his sleep and then some. Dangerous. Scary. Messy. I only knew about the stuff that landed all over the bathroom and that I cleaned. Then I put Mr. Asthma in my bed. Later, when Checkered got home from the Red Wings' game, he kindly got in Mr. Asthma's bed so the little guy could stay with me. I swear I did not know that child had been sick in his bed - until Checkered got in it. I'm sorry!!
I asked the grand Miss Marlene and Lovely Miss Betty for advice this week and they responded immediately. Love those girls. I do, however, need to do a better job of keeping in touch with my local friends. That's what summer is for, right?
Child #2 is working on a scouting merit badge where he had to build a bird feeder and identify 8 different bird breeds (kinds?) who come to eat. We seem to be getting the same 3 birds and I wonder if he takes pix of those birds from all different angles, will it seem like 8 different breeds?
And lastly, it is surely time for the school year to end. Drove my daughter to school one morning. Waited through the traffic line, and when it was our turn in front of the school, I drove away having completely forgotten to let my daughter get out. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Published by Image Comics
God Country is a six-issue limited series that’s been described as “Southern Bastards meets American Gods.” With its gritty themes and Texas backdrop that draws heavy influence from Cormac McCarthy novels, the comic is then fused with a surrealist fantasy storyline midway through the first issue. Given that I love all things McCarthy, Jason Aaron and Neil Gaiman, this book perfectly combines two of my favorite genres of fiction.
The story follows Emmett Quinlan, an elderly man and a widower from Texas who suffers from dementia. As his condition worsens to the point of him becoming uncontrollably violent with others, it puts a strain on his son and his family. Despite his son’s determination to take care of his father and keep him away from a nursing home, the situation is becoming too much for him to handle.
Yet just when things appear hopeless, Emmett discovers a magical sword which restores his mind and spirit, so long as he’s holding it. With this weapon, he’s able to remember who he is and who his family and friends are, and is determined to keep it. The only problem is that the armored god who the sword belongs to wants it back, and is willing to fight Emmett for it.
The magic of God Country is apparent in everything from the high-concept premise to the characterization to the gorgeous illustrations by Geoff Shaw. In the opening pages the book is all gritty western drama, replete with a quote from McCarthy’s Blood Meridian at the beginning. Then after the initial exposition, Emmett receives the sword during a bombastic storm sequence that’s strikingly reminiscent of American Gods. Writer Donny Cates does an especially good job of merging these two different genres together, making for a story that gets weirder, wilder and more emotionally gripping as it progresses.
Amidst all of the high-octane action and mythological elements, what really drives the story is Emmett’s relationship with his family, and his desire to be himself again. Over the course of the book he battles his deity opponent, ventures into Hell to save his granddaughter and puts his loved ones at risk as he gets caught in a war with the gods. Yet as all of this is going on, the emphasis is more upon his spiritual journey and longing to find himself. Cates does explore the world of the gods, which is mostly rooted in Greek and Roman mythology, but he never makes it the main focus of the narrative. This is a story about a man who’s lost everything trying to reclaim his soul, his life and his family.
In terms of the art, Shaw utilizes a grim, subdued color palette, and a nice blend of realism and surrealism. I’m not saying this just because I love this comic, but Shaw’s work is well worthy of comparison to greats like Steve Dillon and Jason Latour. It’s powerful, cinematic and a splash page of the sword-bearing god hovering over Earth in issue one will leave readers drooling. With how good this creative team is here, I’ll definitely be checking out their new Thanos title for Marvel this fall.
God Country is just one of those titles you have to experience for yourself. I was able to get the trade paperback with an exclusive variant cover from my local comic shop, but the regular cover is just as good. Get it today, and be sure to keep an eye out for Cates and Shaw to see what they do next. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
How should we build a theme for a new Drupal site?
Drupal core now has a Starter Kit that replaces Classy. This will copy some classy-esque styles and templates to set you up with some defaults, fixes, and BEM structure. The new theme is based on Stable, which is a copy of system libraries and templates from the X.0.0 of a major release. This ensures your site won't change if those underlying styles change, but you will now have to implement any fixes that were released. This tradeoff allows the starterkit theme to get ongoing development while generated themes are stable.
In order to build a theme from the ground up, there is a bit of work to do. Anything that Drupal can put on the page needs to have an appropriate style, and it's not always clear how to adjust it. Some core libraries are quite opinionated and developers need to know which ones to override or extend to do what they want. It can be hard to look at the code from a component perspective where you expect relevant pieces to be bundled together more clearly. Navigation and form elements can throw some surprises at you and since they are so coupled with the back end, themers can be confused about how they're styles will be displayed.
Building a theme from scratch is a more esoteric exercise than a practical one. Bootstrap based themes like Radix will give developers a major shortcut if they accept the decisions made for them by the community. Themes that support other front end frameworks are also a great way to implement them, and come with some documentation for how to get going. It takes some advanced knowledge to build a theme that loads code in a streamlined way with all the tools and tricks used today on the front end.
Buying a theme or starting with something like Olivero is a viable option if you want to minimize the work you have to do to make it look good. Watch out for the limitations that can bait you into something that looks easy but doesn't support your needs and leads to unexpected work.
Other themes built by agencies focus on component driven design and integrations with component libraries and style guides. These follow best practices for high quality, sustainable design, and solve a lot of the issues with how to handle the integration such as displaying drupal components in the design tool.
These themes that are built around external tools are great because they handle a lot of complexity for you. You will have to take some time to understand how it works and will be dependent on using the system, and limited by it's constraints. If you run into a snag that is a todo item for the supplier, you may have to resolve it yourself or wait for a solution. Early iterations of these could integrate basic features but took way too much time to get things working in both places, but many improvements have been made since them.
Supporting these themes are many modules like Components, Component Libraries, Progressively Decoupled Blocks, Single File Components, etc. These are different ways to define and integrate components between Drupal and a design system. This is an area that is in active development, and consolidation is still a hurdle to overcome before some kind of standard is set.
The goal is to have a way for non drupal developers to contribute to the front end, and for the team to be able to visualize the system as a whole. This will help with development and documentation. It doesn't matter if the solution is built in drupal or implements something like Storybook, as long as the requirements are handled and the developer experience is not annoying. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Magistrate court sitting in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital yesterday remanded a 43 years old man, Segun Matthew for alleged police impersonation and extortion in Ilorin.
He was however charged to court for the offences of false impersonation and extortion contrary to section 179 and 294 of penal code law.
The First Information Report revealed that the accused person of Ojo-Iya street, Ilorin introduced himself to people as State Intelligent Bureau (SIB) personnel.
It added that Matthew went to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Secretariat, Asa Dam road, Ilorin to scare people with a toy gun and police belt.
“On sighting the police, you took to your heel, when given hot chase, you were later arrested and during the investigation at SIB police headquarters, the toy gun and police belt used to terrorise people were recovered…” The FIR stated.
During the proceedings, the prosecutor, Sergeant Sanni Abdullahi informed the court that police investigation into the matter is still ongoing urging the court for an adjournment.
The accused counsel, Abdulahi Sulyman however prayed the court to grant his client bail on health ground.
He said the accused indulged in the act because he’s having mental challenges.
He added that “at this stage, he’s still presumed innocent, equally, we submit that the alleged offences are bailable. He’s not the type that jumps bail if given the privilege. We urged my lord to admit him to bail,” he pleaded.
In his response, the prosecutor urged the court to discountenance Matthew counsels prayer’s saying if granted bail, it will affect the course of police investigation.
The magistrate who ceded to the submission of the prosecutor added that he doesn’t have certified prove before the court that the accused is mentally sick. He however remanded him in prison custody while the case was adjourned to 14th May, 2018 for further mention | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Love is the most powerful energy in the world. It has the ability to melt even the strongest steel, mend the poor heart that once was left shattered to pieces, and open every iron door. Love does wonders.
So, why would you limit yourself to love partly? Why would one decide to do it half-assed?
Love should be expressed wholeheartedly. Love should be shouted from the top of the roofs. Love should be wild. Untamed. Raw. Enthralling. Pure. Painful. And the most beautiful feeling in the world.
If you are not loving like this, what are you doing? Everything that doesn’t even come close to this is not love. People pretend it is because it suits them better. But, I’m telling you… Love is more than you can ever imagine.
It means loving passionately without having a single care in the world. It means devoting every piece of your body and soul to the other person. Love is fearless. It’s taking action without feeling scared at all. Because it is worth it.
I believe love is taking down every wall around you, just, so they can settle into every corner of your life. It means being brave and happy to undress your soul in front of them. Love is the exquisite feeling of freedom.
It is apologizing when we’ve done something wrong. And it is taking responsibility for our part in the relationship. It’s being a mature and a grown-up person who owns up to their mistakes.
Love is self-care. It is learning to accept our wholeness, our strength, along with all of our flaws. It is taking care of well-being, respecting our emotions and deepest feelings. Because it is only through self-love that we’ll be able to be there for others as well.
I truly believe love takes hard work. A lot of hard work. And most importantly, a will. A will to keep fighting every obstacle along the way so you could defend your love. A courage to protect the most sacred thing in your life. The outstanding power that arises from the depths of our hearts only when we feel that pure love.
I believe love means simple and silly dates, stained pajamas and raw, nasty, inside jokes. I believe in flirting with the one you love even if 10 years gone by. I believe love is a fire that keeps on burning, but only if you care enough to put more and more branches each day.
Because I just know that if two people want to be together, nothing will ever stop them from doing that. Nor time, nor distance will ever be able to interfere with the bond they have. Even if the sky comes falling down, love will always conquer all.
I believe love can be reached only through genuine and long work with ourselves. Only people who have the courage to face everything inside them and praise their flaws the same way they praise their strengths, manage to find that pure love that most people only think exists in fairytales.
I believe love is a divine feeling. It’s recognizing a home in someone. It’s loving their smell, their heart, their looks, everything about them.
I believe vulnerability and honesty are the only ways to feel what pure love really means. Giving everything, without expecting something in return. Putting in the work. Showing someone just how happy and blessed you are to have their love.
Loving like you truly, genuinely, undoubtedly mean it.
If you, my friend, are someone who also believes in this kind of love, I salute you.
You give me my hopes back. And you make this society a better place to live in. Never stop doing that.
This world is in desperate need of more people like you.
