While Tim Tebow hasn’t yet inked a deal with the Broncos, replicas of his Broncos’ jersey continue to top the charts for football jersey sales.
And now, he’s looking to top the underwear charts, too.
Jockey has signed the first-year quarterback to a multi-year contract as a spokesman.
“Tim is genuine, smart, and driven, and those qualities align well with Jockey. We look forward to building a long and collaborative relationship with him in the coming years,” says Jockey CEO and chairwoman Debra S. Waller, in a news release.
Tebow, meanwhile, is beginning to earn the respect of Broncos players, reports The Denver Post, which notes that he and fellow first-round pick Demaryius Thomas remain the only unsigned Broncos rookies. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Saskatchewan NDP is calling for government action to address and clarify the situation for substitute teachers and education assistants.
Education critic, Carla Beck, explains that substitutes and casual staff don’t get paid sick leave, meaning if they contract the virus or if they have to self-isolate because they have possibly been exposed at school, they have no money coming in.
Deborah Bidulka, is a retired teacher who has decided not to be a substitute teacher this year for safety reasons.
Bidulka says in a normal year, four or five teachers can be off from a school at one time with the flu, so she wonders what the situation will be like this year with COVID-19 in the mix, because there was a shortage of substitute teachers even before the pandemic.
Bidulka is concerned about what might happen to class sizes if substitute teachers and EA’s are not available.
She says ensuring smaller classes and having enough EA’s and substitutes to keep too many kids from mixing together is the safest way to reopen schools. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

41-years-ago Neil Peart officially joined Rush.
In the early summer of 1974, a 21-year-old Peart showed up at a tryout driving his mom’s Ford Pinto with drums in garbage cans.
”I remember thinking, ‘God, he’s not nearly cool enough to be in this band,’” says guitarist Alex Lifeson said in Beyond the Lighted Stage.“And then he started playing, and he pounded the crap out of those drums. He played like Keith Moon and John Bonham at the same time.”
Peart’s percussion skills won the band over and he officially joined the band on July 29. Peart was then given two weeks to learn the band’s entire song list before kicking off on an American tour. Rush made their American debut – along with Peart’s Rush debut – on August 11 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena opening for Manfred Mann and Uriah Heep.
“Among the many memories of that life-changing experience, I would never forget standing on the floor beside stage left while Uriah Heep played ‘Stealin’,” Peart said in his 2006 book Roadshow: Landscape with Drums: A Concert Tour by Motorcycle. “The big dark building, colored lights on the heroic figures up on the stage, the roaring audience, the sheer electricity in that place. Halfway through their show, the retractable dome of the Civic Arena had peeled back, open to the summer night.”
Since then Peart has repeatedly proved himself to be one of the best-known dummers in rock, contributing not only with percussion, but with lyrical genius with his 1975 studio debut on Fly by Night. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
“Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.”
We have been going verse-by-verse through the Book of Proverbs for 2 ½ years. We began this devotional series in May of 2018, and we now arrive at the final two verses.
This closing passage tells us that the virtuous woman was not motivated by the praise and approval of people; rather, she was motivated by a deep respect for the Lord. People in the community saw her humility. They experienced her character, competence, and kindness. They witnessed her productivity.
Because of her fruitfulness, she was deeply respected by the community. She did not seek the praise of people; nevertheless, because of the life of integrity that she lived, she received the praise of people. Praise was the fruit of her life, not the goal of her life.
“You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7.16-20)
I encourage you to go back and re-read verses 10-31 in this chapter, and make a mental note of the attributes of the virtuous woman. Make a note of what she does. Make a note of her “works.” Also, notice her motives … why she does what she does.
The virtuous woman exemplifies how Christians should operate in the world. Our works should flow from our faith and obedience to Jesus, and it is our works that establish our credibility in society.
Trust God, be obedient, and let your works praise you in the gates. The world is watching.

A new whitepaper from Danfoss, the Danish family-controlled engineering group, highlights the dramatic increase in global demand for energy and argues that, without urgent action to curb energy demand, the buildout of renewables will be insufficient to meet the needs of a growing population.
As world leaders meet in Egypt for the COP27, Danfoss insists it wants to offer practical policy recommendations for urgent action that political, corporate, and community leaders must consider before, during and after COP27.
Statistics show the current build out of renewables won’t be even near sufficient if we don’t at the same time curb our demand for energy.
According to Kim Fausing, president and CEO, Danfoss, this whitepaper underlines the urgent need for climate leaders to include energy efficiency measures and electrification in their COP27 plans.
“The world, particularly Europe, is following a one-sided approach to the energy crisis, focusing solely on the supply of energy, not enough on demand,” she said. “For every dollar spent on energy efficiency, we can avoid spending more than $2 on energy supply. The technology is available, and energy efficiency solutions can be used today across all sectors. If we don’t act now to address the growing demand for energy it will be extremely difficult and more expensive to meet the Paris Agreement goal of staying below 1.5°C warming."
Need for urgent focus on demand side
The whitepaper, “The neglected demand side of the green equation,” delves into the details of how energy efficiency is an enabler of electrification. To reach net zero, experts agree we must substitute fossil energy with renewable sources and electrify everything across all sectors.
However, to grow the role of electricity in the energy mix, it is a fundamental yet overlooked fact that we need to reduce energy demand first.
Still, the world’s buildings, infrastructure, transport networks, and vehicles continue to operate with great inefficiencies, wasting energy and heat on a grand scale. This new whitepaper tackles this problem head on by providing clear and practical policy recommendations for fixing the currently unbalanced equation and by highlighting the key data and figures that should inform collective decision making on these issues. For example:
- Energy efficiency solutions, if deployed on a global scale, can take the world one third of the way toward net zero (according to IEA).
- For every dollar spent on energy efficiency, we can avoid spending more than $2 on energy supply.
- In the IEA’s net zero scenario, by 2030, the global population will grow by 750 million people and the economy will be 40% larger than today but final energy demand will need to be 5% lower.
- Cooling is a global blind spot in climate change mitigation. As economies grow and adapt to a warmer climate, growing demand for cooling has the potential to drive one of the most substantial increases in greenhouse gas emissions we have ever seen.
- Policymakers must urgently deploy solutions to reduce energy waste and electrify transport, industries, and buildings.
- For households alone, enhanced efficiency and related avoided energy demand could help contribute to reducing global household energy bills by at least $650 billion a year by 2030 in the net-zero scenario.
- Adding to this, higher investments to achieve these energy savings can support an extra 10 million jobs by 2030 in efficiency-related fields, such as new construction and building retrofits, manufacturing and transport infrastructure.
“In short, if we don’t curb our demand for energy, the build-out of renewables will not be even near sufficient,” said Fausing. We simply will not have enough green energy to meet the demands of a growing population.
“Despite recent encouraging measures being taken in the EU, the current investment levels in energy efficiency are far from enough to meet our global climate goals,” she continued. “Governments have made headlines with mid-century targets but to a large extent failed to implement the immediate solutions we have at hand. As U.S. President Biden said at COP26 in Glasgow last year, the eye of history is watching. It’s time to step up, act, and enshrine minimum energy efficiency requirements into law. The greenest energy is the energy you don’t use, but in the current energy crisis, it’s also by far the cheapest, and it’s imperative if we want to meet the Paris Agreement goal.“ | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dignitaries, friends and family members of prisoners of war and troops missing in action honored the sacrifices of those service members yesterday at the unveiling of the 2023 POW/MIA poster.
One of the attendees at the Pentagon ceremony was Jeanie Jacobs Huffman, who was just two weeks old when her father, Navy Cdr. Edward J. Jacobs Jr., was reported missing in action in the Gulf of Tonkin off the coast of North Vietnam, Aug. 25, 1967.
Jacobs piloted an RA-3B Skywarrior with two crew members on a night reconnaissance mission. As the aircraft approached the coastline, radar contact was lost and could not be reestablished, according to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. Jacobs and the entire crew remain unaccounted for.
The agency made one attempt to locate the plane in 2009, but their search didn’t include going underwater, Huffman said.
She said she remains hopeful that the agency will make another attempt.
Edward James Jacobs III, Huffman’s brother, was recently promoted to Navy commander and is now stationed in Germany, she said. “He’s carrying on his father’s military legacy.”
A few months ago, Huffman said she and her husband started the veteran service organization Mission POW-MIA, www.missionpowmia.org, with the goal of bringing together family members of those missing in action, as well as prisoners of war.
“I’m very proud of my father’s service. I want to keep his legacy going and find answers not only for my family, but also for the crew members’ families, as well as thousands of others still missing from the Vietnam War and other wars,” she said.
Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth thanked the agency for its efforts to account for those missing in action and bring them home. “We renew our commitment to one of DOD’s most sacred commitments,” Wormuth said.
“Each of the more than 81,000, unaccounted personnel from designated conflicts represents a family that has not received the answers that they need or the closure that they deserve. And we know that this matters because every month there are families who do receive the news that they have often been waiting decades to hear,” she said.
During this fiscal year, the agency has accounted for 81 individuals, including three from the Vietnam War, 26 from the Korean War, and 52 from World War II, she noted.
Kelly K. McKeague, director of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, said the Defense Department has a steadfast commitment to finding, recovering, identifying and repatriating the remains of its unaccounted heroes.
“The work is complex, arduous and often involves great risk. It is also humanitarian effort that benefits from the strong cooperation of 45 partner nations,” he added.
This year, National POW/MIA Recognition Day is Sept. 15. The day is commemorated each year on the third Friday of September. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Christmas comes early to 8-year-old disfigured by fire in New York state
Published 10:09 am Thursday, December 10, 2015
ROTTERDAM, N.Y. (AP) — A little girl who lost her family and suffered disfiguring burns in an arson fire is having an incredible Christmas, thanks to the generosity of thousands of strangers around the world who were moved by her simple Facebook wish.
“This year’s been magical, amazing,” said Liz Dolder, who posted a picture of her niece, Safyre Terry, on Facebook earlier this month. The post showed Safyre with a Christmas card tree Dolder got at a thrift store, and said the 8-year-old hoped to get enough cards to fill it.
“I haven’t found a word in my vocabulary to describe what has happened,” Dolder said Wednesday.
Kevin Clark, a member of a motorcycle group who met Safyre at a benefit bikers held for her this fall, reposted the picture. Before long, it had been shared tens of thousands of times, and cards and gifts started pouring in from across the United States and overseas.
Another friend put a post on the YouCaring.com crowdfunding site with a $15,000 goal to help Dolder and her husband, Mike — Safyre’s new family — deal with medical costs and other financial challenges. More than $174,000 has been donated since the Christmas card post went viral this week.
On Wednesday, Safyre opened some of the hundreds of cards and gifts that had arrived at a post office box in a local mall. There were teddy bears, stuffed kittens, handmade jewelry, personalized Christmas tree ornaments, whimsical socks, books and cards signed by whole classrooms of schoolchildren.
Safyre opened a silver box with a card that said, “Every princess should have a tiara. Here’s yours,” and then skipped to Dolder to show her the shiny rhinestone tiara, saying “Look, Mom!” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The gold plating is very durable. You can put it in contact with water but it will of course keep its plating longer if taken off before showers, pools, jacuzzi etc… Don’t hesitate to polish it with a soft cloth from time to time to bring back its original sheen. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

MOMMY MAKEOVER IN DUBAI
After giving birth and nursing their babies, many mothers may experience dilated or sagging breasts as well as stubborn fatty deposits. They tend to neglect themselves because they are so preoccupied with the newborn, which could be problematic later on when early signs of aging begin to appear.
Not to mention, many women want to regain their pre-pregnancy figures, but sometimes diet and exercise are ineffective. This is where one can opt for Mommy Makeover Dubai, which can address the changes on the face, breasts, and body brought on by childbearing and aging. Treatments may be surgical, non-surgical, or occasionally both.
What is Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a process entailing a series of body contouring procedures that are performed to undo the effects of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding on the body. These alterations include unwanted stretch marks, extra skin or fat in the abdomen, and sagging breasts following breastfeeding.
In other words, women can improve their overall appearance and get back to their natural shapes with mommy makeover Dubai.
Mommy Makeover is an umbrella term that includes processes like breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tucks, and a few other common procedures.
In some cases, women can also get face rejuvenation procedures along with the above-mentioned treatments for a more improved and revived appearance.
Good Candidate for Mommy Makeover
If you are in good physical condition, do not intend to have any additional children, have an upbeat outlook, and have realistic goals, you may be a good candidate for mommy makeover surgery.
Also, keep in mind – after waiting for your post-pregnancy body to heal and reach the ideal weight range, is the best time for a mommy makeover.
Procedures Carried Out Under
Mommy Makeover Dubai
Breast Augmentation – This specific procedure, also referred to as Mammoplasty, improves the symmetry and volume of your breasts while adding to their fullness. Breast implants or autologous fat transfer from other areas of your body to your breasts are used for breast augmentation.
Breast Lift – Also known as Mastopexy, this procedure is used to make your breasts firmer and perkier without changing their sizes. They will regain their pre-baby angle as a result. The best candidates for breast lift are those who are satisfied with the size of their breasts but need to firm themup and reduce excessive sagging.
For overall body
Tummy Tuck – The one part of the body that changes the most both during and after pregnancy is the stomach. Additionally, it is the body part that is most noticeable. The stomach stretches as the pregnancy goes on.
The extra skin remains saggy and in place, but the stubborn fat deposits won’t budge an inch. When this occurs, a Tummy Tuck procedure (Abdominoplasty) is required. Depending on your needs, this procedure may be combined with a liposuction procedure.
A Tummy Tuck involves the plastic surgeon surgically removing any extra skin and tightening the abdomen to define the waistline and give it a well-contoured appearance.
Liposuction -With the goal of defining the body silhouette, liposuction is a body contouring procedure that surgically eliminates stubborn fat cells from specific body regions. Several body parts can be targeted during a Liposuction procedure as part of a Mommy Makeover in Dubai, with the stomach being the most popular.
Mommy Makeover Dubai - Recovery and Aftercare
Depending on the treatments included in your mommy makeover Dubai, expect to be sore, bruised, and swollen for up to 2 weeks as you recover, which could take one to several weeks.
After your mommy makeover, you should refrain from strenuous activity and heavy lifting for at least 6 weeks. Additionally, since smoking slows wound healing, you should give up the habit for at least four weeks before and after your mommy makeover.
Benefits of Mommy Makeover Dubai
The various treatments included in Mommy Makeover Dubai, are chosen with consideration for the patient’s present health. This indicates that it provides customized results that are perfectly catered to the patient’s needs. For new mothers, this group of treatments has a lot to offer.
Among them are:
Make a wise decision - Choose Amwaj Polyclinic for body contouring procedures
At Amwaj Polyclinic, we are dedicated to offering detail-oriented and scrupulous body aesthetic procedures. The treatments are carried out by top-tier and highly skilled doctors. We make sure that every patient receives the best services and outcomes that not only meet but exceed their expectations by utilizing premium quality products and the highest-grade medical equipment.

While we know a great deal about the Vikings thanks to books, documentaries, and other sources of information, what do we really know about how these ancient people lived when they weren’t out conquering other lands?
Sadly, the answer is that we don’t know much at all regarding the home life of Vikings.
But that’s changing thanks to a groundbreaking new book from Marianne Hem Eriksen entitled Architecture, Society and Ritual in the Viking Age. Doors, Dwellings, and Domestic Space.
First of all, it should be noted that the “average” Viking household was a far cry from what we think of when we think of how people live now, Eriksen writes in an article she penned for The Conversation:
“The Viking household, while varied, did not conform to the idealized nuclear family of Western modernity. The largest households could be composed of a couple, concubines, subordinates, farmhands and warriors, animals, itinerant workers, guests, and a range of ‘mine, yours, and our’ children. Although they lived under one roof, everyday tasks and the architecture itself created thresholds between groups and made people different from each other.”
And it wasn’t just the living who inhabited a Viking house.
Archaeological finds suggest that the dead also had an important place and role in the Viking home. At times, human bones were even embedded into the house. That included dead infants who were buried in hearths and postholes:
“It must have been meaningful for people to place body parts of their dead under the threshold or in the postholes of the longhouse, or to inter the dead in the house when they abandoned the settlement.
“There is a clear ambiguity to dwelling with the dead. On the one hand, people sometimes kept the dead close, embedding them in the living space. Infants and ancestors may have helped protect the house, anchor it in local histories, or empower its residents.
“If they became malevolent, they could threaten the household – and so the threshold to their world needed to be controlled.”
“Two written sources tell the narrative of a woman being lifted over a door to see into a different realm. One is an eyewitness account of a ship burial on the Volga River, where a slave woman is lifted above a freestanding portal (much like a doorframe). This allows her to speak with the dead chieftain.
“The other is an obscure text about a ritual gone wrong, where the lady of the house asks to be lifted “over hinges and door-beams, to see if she can save the sacrifice” — perhaps to see into another realm or into the future. The door could thus be a portal to other powers and beings . Perhaps for this reason, freestanding portals were sometimes erected at Viking burial grounds.”
Archaeologists also found many objects that must have held some special significance to the Viking residents: Pots, knives, and iron rings.
The objects were usually buried in or near doorways, suggesting that they may have been used as talismans or artifacts imbued with magical powers that were believed to protect the house from powers on the outside.
Eriksen concludes her article with a reminder that while we do indeed have much knowledge about Vikings, there remains much we still need to learn:
“When the Vikings engaged with the wider world through raids, trade, and settlement, their understanding of the world was anchored in their everyday experience in the home from childhood onwards. The time is ripe to broaden the topics we associate with the Viking Age, and to discuss the unfamiliarity and strangeness, as well as the role of inequality, in this pivotal period of European history.”

One of the most terrifying figures found in Greek mythology is Medusa, the most famous of three sisters who were known as the Gorgons.
Medusa first appears in the writings of Hesiod, specifically Theogony, which tells the tale of three sisters, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, who were the children of Phorcys and Ceto and said to live “beyond famed Oceanus at the world’s edge hard by Night.”
Oddly, however, while Hesiod does write about the origins of Medusa and her death at the hands of Perseus, he gives no other details, leaving us to turn to Ovid’s Metamorphoses for additional information, Ancient Origins notes.
According to Ovid, at one time Medusa was a beautiful maiden. She was so beautiful that the god Poseidon lured her to Athena’s shrine, where he ravaged her.
But that didn’t sit well with Athena, so she transformed Medusa’s hair into snakes and decreed that any man who looked directly at her would be turned to stone.
So Medusa once possessed beauty beyond compare, but as Virgil notes, Athena made sure that was taken care of:
“In the middle is the Gorgon Medusa, an enormous monster about whom snaky locks twist their hissing mouths; her eyes stare malevolently, and under the base of her chin the tail-ends of serpents have tied knots.”
Not exactly what you want to see when you show up for a blind date.
Perseus to the Rescue
Eventually, Medusa is destroyed by Perseus. Then again, Perseus had certain advantages over those who had gone before him in an attempt to confront the serpent-headed woman: He also happened to be the son of Zeus and was assisted in his efforts by the gods.
Hades gave Perseus a Cap of Invisibility, which always comes in handy when you’re trying to sneak up on a gorgon. From Hermes, he got winged sandals, which are a great deal better than those without wings. He was also given a sword by Hephaestus.
But perhaps most importantly, Perseus had a shield directly from Athena, which made him virtually invincible.
With these gifts, Perseus crept into Medusa’s lair as she slept and chopped off her head.
And Now, the Rest of the Story
Our studies of mythology in school gave us the general outline of who Medusa was and how she was ultimately destroyed, but there are some details you may not have been aware of that make the snake lady even more terrifying. For example:
- When blood dripped from Medusa’s head onto the plains of Libya, every drop became a venomous serpent.
- During an encounter with Atlas the Titan, Perseus used the severed head of Medusa to turn Atlas into a mountain.
The Enduring Medusa Myth
How is it that a story which has existed for so many centuries endures to this day? Is it the overall horror of a person with snakes for hair? Or could it be the brutal fashion in which she was slain?
Whatever the reason, the myth of Medusa has indeed remained strong, and it has even been passed down as a form of protection:
“Although Medusa is commonly regarded as a monster, her head is often seen as a protective amulet that would keep evil away. In fact, the name Medusa comes from an ancient Greek verb meaning ‘to guard or protect.’
“The image of Medusa’s head can be seen in numerous Greek and subsequent Roman artifacts such as shields, breastplates, and mosaics.”
And the image of Medusa is even used by a well-known company, Versace, the Italian fashion company, proving that while Medusa may have met a terrible fate, her legacy endures.

Madi Diaz released Weird Faith earlier this year, revealing she’s at “the height of her powers” (NPR Music) as a musician, performer and songwriter, and today announces the album’s deluxe edition, out October 25th via ANTI-. The deluxe edition expands upon the original album’s “crystal-clear, diamond-sharp writing” (Pitchfork) from “one of our most important songwriters” (Paste), featuring demos from the Weird Faith recording sessions, plus three new songs: today’s new single, “Worst Case Scenario,” a new version of “For Months Now” featuring Lizzy McAlpine, and the previously released collaboration with Lennon Stella, “One Less Question,” which they debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this year.
“This deluxe edition is an ode to the era of Weird Faith. Some of the demos capture the magic of the moment they were written that will never happen quite the same way ever again. It feels so important to honor those moments.” Diaz explains. “There’s a rawness to the energy the second a song is finished and sung. I try to touch that feeling every time I perform — the feeling that there is still something new here, a lesson or an unlocking. I hope these demos show what these songs unlocked for me, and maybe they might unlock something in you too.”
“Worst Case Scenario” is a gritty indie-folk track that keeps the emphasis on Diaz’s emphatic delivery and words. Of the lyrics, she says: “Sometimes when I’m afraid, I test out a theory I’ve made up in the last few years: Life has never completely gone the way I imagined it would go (for better or worse). From time to time, I find myself daydreaming up scenes and playing them out in my mind, thinking if can get ahead of it all by thinking of the worst and how I’d survive it, then maybe it won’t actually happen. This song was my prevention plan against what I imagined would be the worst possibilities playing out.”
Watch “Worst Case Scenario” VideoDirected by Joey Brodnax
While writing Weird Faith, Diaz came up against a problem: how do you write about romance, or love, without making it sentimental, schlocky, or fake? For Diaz, the answer was to explore how anxiety-inducing, if not downright humiliating falling in love can be. Weird Faith answers these questions bluntly, and Diaz says the record “chronicles a new relationship, but also a new relationship to myself.” The result is a record that renders itself as a self-portrait capturing the Madi Diaz of a fleeting moment in time, hungrily alive and forever searching. Weird Faith highlights the human experience of spinning out on the fall into love, bold in its honesty, and aligned with the momentum of Madi Diaz.
Weird Faith was produced by Diaz (vocals, guitar, bass, piano, organ) alongside Sam Cohen (bass) and Konrad Snyder (percussion).
Diaz hits the road next month supporting Rainbow Kitten Surprise on a run of West Coast dates. Tickets can be purchased here. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

FREDERICK, MD – The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) has teamed up with Pilatus Aircraft to offer a unique opportunity: Use of the amazingly capable Pilatus PC-12 NG turboprop for eight hours of business missions.
The “AOPA Pilot BizAv and You” contest – powered by Pilatus – runs through June 30, and is open to people who own or work for a company that would benefit from the use of a PC-12 NG. Entrants simply need to submit a 300-word or fewer description of how their company would take advantage of a turbine aircraft if they had access to it.
Pilatus Aircraft will supply a PC-12 NG for up to eight hours of mission flying on up to four consecutive days—all within the contiguous U.S. Two Pilatus corporate pilots will be on the trip. However, if you’re a pilot and the Pilatus pilots approve, you will
get a chance to fly some of the legs. You may bring along up to three others and AOPA will bring along a writer and a photographer/videographer. The PC-12 NG seats up to 11.
AOPA will document the experience in words, photos and video and share it with AOPA members in AOPA Pilot and AOPA ePilot, on AOPA.org, and through AOPA Live This Week.
Entries will be judged by the editorial staff at AOPA. Special consideration will be given to those who outline missions that take advantage of the PC-12 NG’s unique capabilities of operating off of a variety of runway surfaces and into and out of remote areas with unusual gear that is easily accommodated by the PC-12’s cargo door.
As most aviators know, the PC-12 is an extremely versatile airplane, equally at home in town or country, on short dirt strips or a mile of concrete. The PC-12 climbs away to the flight levels, where it cruises at 270 knots with a range of 1,500 nautical miles, while carrying almost two tons of fuel and 1,000 pounds of people and gear.
The winner will be responsible for getting to the starting point of the mission and returning to his or her home base afterward, although the mission can be a round robin trip. AOPA will provide food and accommodations for the winners during the trip.
(If all of the eight flight hours are used, the prize has a taxable value of about $13,000. AOPA will throw in $4,000 in cash to help cover the taxes, raising the taxable value to $17,000. But the winner is responsible for paying any applicable taxes).
Since 1939, AOPA has protected the freedom to fly for thousands of pilots, aircraft owners and aviation enthusiasts. AOPA is the world’s largest aviation member association, with representatives based in Frederick, Md., Washington, D.C., Wichita, Kans., and seven regions across the United States. AOPA provides member services that range from advocacy at the federal, state, and local levels to legal services, flight planning products, safety programs and award-winning media.

Dental Implants in Leesburg
Dental implants are small tooth root replacements made from titanium that our dentist
can place in your jaw after a tooth has been extracted or lost. Unlike dentures or bridges that rest on the gums, dental implants are placed within the jawbone through a surgical procedure. Once the implants have healed and integrated with the jawbone, they can anchor dental crowns, bridges, or dentures, replacing missing teeth and restoring oral function.
We recommend dental implants for tooth replacement because they provide the most natural look and best functionality, as well as support jawbone health. The artificial teeth supported by implants do not slip or slide out of place like other tooth replacement options because the dental implant has secured a stronghold in the jaw.
At Apexx Dental of Leesburg, we offer advanced dental implant solutions to replace missing teeth with natural-looking, durable implants. Our team uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise placement, providing a comfortable and permanent solution that restores both function and aesthetics. Dental implants are the ideal option for a long-lasting, confident smile.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Dental Implants?
You are a candidate for implants if you have healthy gums and jawbone tissue. The success of the dental implant procedure depends on the density of the jawbone. If necessary, our dentists can perform a bone grafting procedure to prepare the jawbone for implant placement.
After the implant placement procedure, it is important for patients to commit to a proper oral hygiene regimen that includes brushing, flossing, rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash, and maintaining regular dental appointments for cleanings and check-ups.
The Advantages of Dental Implants
Dental implants look like natural teeth and allow you to bite, chew, and speak normally. Unlike dentures that must be replaced every five to ten years, implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
When teeth are missing, the jawbone may begin to deteriorate because there is no tooth root to stimulate and keep it strong. The bone can eventually weaken to the point where it cannot support an implant post. By replacing missing teeth as soon as possible, you can preserve the strength and structure of your jaw for years to come.
Missing teeth can result in self-consciousness about your appearance and even affect your speech and chewing abilities. Replacing them with natural-looking dental implants can help you feel more confident about your smile and restore much of your lost self-confidence.
Better Oral Health
Along with restoring the appearance of your smile, dental implants can also improve the health of your teeth and gums. When your teeth are missing, your remaining teeth can begin to shift out of alignment, making it more difficult to brush and floss properly. This increases your risk for tooth decay and gum disease. Additionally, without a complete set of teeth, your facial muscles may begin to sag, making you look older than you are. Dental implants can prevent these problems and improve your overall oral health.
Ready to restore your smile with dental implants in Leesburg, VA? Contact Apexx Dental of Leesburg today to schedule a consultation and learn how our expert team can help you regain your dental health and confidence! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Ida Louise Schultes, age 87 formerly of Randolph, passed away Thursday, March 5, 2020 at the Eureka Nursing Center.
She was born on September 17, 1932 on the family farm near Waterville, the daughter of Edwin C. and Alpha E. (Rice) Johnson.
She attended grade school at Keystone District School and graduated from Waterville High School as Co-Salutatorian of her class.
In 1951, she married Dale Olson and they had two children. They later divorced in 1979.
In 1980, she married Leon “Poots” Schultes and they remained together until Leon passed away on October 31, 2012.
Louise worked for 31 years for the U.S. Government at Fort Riley as a Computer Specialist/Information Systems Consultant. She started as a clerk typist in 1959 and worked her way up. She took 67 college credit hours while working there and retired in 1990. Following her retirement, she started a small computer consulting firm and worked part time for KSU as a computer trouble shooter in the Ag Extension Department.

The final battle in a lengthy on-off feud involving the Macdonalds of Sleat and the MacLeods of Dunvegan and Harris took place in 1601 in a scree-strewn hollow beneath the black Cuillin. This area had long been used as an out-of-the-way holding spot for cattle thieved in raids. One particular raid was planned by Donald Gorme of Sleat in retaliation for recent MacLeod attacks on Macdonald lands in Trotternish and North Uist.
This series of conflicts came after a lengthy period of rapprochement between the clans. Some seven years earlier the two chiefs had teamed up to go to the aid of Red Hugh O’Donnell in his rebellion against Elizabeth of England’s overlordship in Ireland. Each chief at the head of 500 clansmen had crossed to Ireland in 1594. The details and outcomes of that adventure is another story, but the friendship forged between the chiefs led to Donald’s marriage to Rory Mór’s sister Margaret (sometimes recorded as Mary). The marriage itself was subject to a contract called a handfast. In this arrangement, a man and woman lived together as husband and wife for up to a year and a day. If, during this period, the woman bore a male child to be heir, then full marriage would result. If not, then both parties returned to their respective families free of obligation.
Tradition has it that, after a year and a day, Margaret MacLeod had not borne a child, male or female. At some point and there is no record of how it came about, Margaret had lost the sight in one eye. Donald Gorme, having no further use for Margaret, decided to send her back to her brother. This repudiation might have been insulting enough but Donald decided to up the humiliation. He had Margaret tied, facing backwards, onto a one-eyed horse, led by a one-eyed servant and followed by a one-eyed mongrel dog, and sent all four back to Dunvegan Castle. Rory Mor MacLeod was enraged, by the treatment of his sister, and the insult to himself and his clan. Rory’s response was violent, ordering the devastation of Trotternish, long an area disputed by the two clans. Tit for tat raids followed, the Macdonalds raiding Harris and the MacLeods harrying North Uist resulting in the Battle of Carinish. Finally, a large MacDonald party devastated Minginish and Bracadale.
The MacLeod chief Rory Mór was absent on business with the Earl of Argyll, perhaps seeking assistance in his struggles with the Macdonalds, but Donald Gorme was aware that Rory’s brother Alasdair would quickly respond to the raid and try to catch the perpetrators red-handed at Coire Na Creich. Donald ensured he had enough warriors nearby to reinforce the raiding party and have enough of a force to match the pursuing MacLeods. Some accounts have the two sides awaiting overnight for a dawn encounter, others say that the MacLeods were there first, attempting ambush, knowing that the raided cattle would be brought to Coire Na Creich, others that they set about each other in the afternoon as soon as the MacLeods caught up with the raiders. At any rate the struggle was prolonged and bloody. It seems that the Macdonalds were better tacticians since just as at Carinish not long before, they gained the upper hand, though it is not known whether judicious use of archers, as reported at the earlier battle, was a key factor. Alasdair MacLeod and some thirty of his senior kinsmen were captured in addition to the many fatalities and wounded on both sides.
The Privy Council of Scotland were alarmed at the devastation caused by the raids and the brutality of the battles. The two chiefs were ordered to desist immediately, and to surrender themselves while the events were investigated, and a peace negotiated. MacLeod was ‘detained’ by his friend Argyll, while Macdonald had to give himself up to the Earl of Huntly. Meetings were initiated at Eilean Donan and then at Glasgow. All prisoners were released and the wrong against MacLeod’s sister was recognised. She was given leave to pursue legal redress against her former ‘husband’ but no record is extant that she ever did so. Macdonald was free to marry again, which he did so soon afterwards. The feud of the one-eyed woman was over. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Northern Ireland’s Health and Safety Executive (HSENI) is providing local tradesmen with free training to enhance their knowledge of the duty holder’s responsibilities in relation to asbestos.
The ‘Asbestos Training Pledge NI’ scheme has been organised in partnership with the training industry and will run for 12 weeks from 7 January to 29 March 2013. Figures show that there have been more than 300 deaths in Northern Ireland in the last five years due to past exposures to asbestos, and with this number being expected to rise there is a need for those with asbestos related responsibilities to be trained.
Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulation 2012 states that anyone responsible for the maintenance and repair of non-domestic premises has a legal duty to manage the risks from asbestos. This duty-holder must inform tradesmen if asbestos is present in a building in which they are working. This is expected to be in the form of an asbestos register, which they must make available on request.
HSENI’s head of workplace health, Cyril Anderson, said at the launch of the training initiative “Everyone should avoid working with asbestos if possible. But if you need to work with asbestos, make sure you have proper training before you start.”
Training providers in Northern Ireland and Great Britain have pledged 1000 course places, which are available via e-learning or classroom-based formats. There is no charge for the training but, as places are limited, they will be offered on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. For more information on the scheme and to find out how to sign up for courses call 0800 0320 121.
For businesses in England, Armco Asbestos Consultants can train up to 15 delegates at one time at either your premises throughout the UK or at ours here in Bury, Greater Manchester. We offer various asbestos related training so simply contact the team on 0161 761 4424 for further details and a very competitive quote.

Top Reasons to Switch to VPS Hosting
In the evolving world of web hosting, Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting has emerged as a robust alternative to traditional shared hosting solutions. Offering enhanced performance, scalability, and security, VPS hosting has become increasingly popular among businesses and individuals seeking more control over their online presence. If you’re contemplating upgrading your hosting plan, here are several compelling reasons why VPS hosting might be the perfect fit for your needs:
1. Enhanced Performance
Performance is a critical factor for any website. Unlike shared hosting, where resources are distributed among multiple users on the same server, VPS hosting provides dedicated resources allocated solely to your website. This allocation ensures that your site experiences consistent and reliable performance, even during peak traffic periods. With dedicated CPU cores, allocated RAM, and isolated disk space, VPS hosting can significantly improve loading times and responsiveness, enhancing the overall user experience.
Scalability is essential for growing websites and businesses. VPS hosting offers a scalable solution that allows you to easily adjust your resources based on your current needs. Whether you’re anticipating increased traffic due to seasonal trends or planning for long-term growth, VPS hosting provides the flexibility to upgrade or downgrade your hosting plan quickly. This scalability ensures that your website remains responsive and accessible, without the risk of downtime or performance issues associated with inadequate resources.
3. Improved Security
Security is a top priority for every website owner. VPS hosting enhances security by isolating your virtual server from other users on the same physical machine. Each VPS operates within its own independent environment, ensuring that vulnerabilities or malicious activities on neighboring servers do not affect your website. You have greater control over security configurations, including firewall settings, access controls, and software installations, which allows you to implement tailored security measures to protect your data and applications effectively.
4. Customization and Control
VPS hosting offers unparalleled customization and control over your hosting environment. Unlike shared hosting environments, where server configurations are predetermined by the hosting provider, VPS hosting grants you root access to your virtual server. This administrative access enables you to install and configure software applications, customize server settings, and optimize the operating system to suit your specific requirements. Whether you’re a developer seeking a platform for testing and development or a business owner needing specialized hosting configurations, VPS hosting provides the flexibility and freedom to tailor your environment accordingly.
5. Reliability and Stability
Reliability is crucial for maintaining a consistent online presence. VPS hosting enhances reliability by minimizing the impact of neighboring websites on server performance. In shared hosting, resource-intensive activities or traffic spikes from other users can affect server stability and uptime. With VPS hosting, your website operates independently within its allocated resources, ensuring greater stability and reliability. Additionally, VPS hosting providers often offer robust backup solutions and technical support to mitigate potential disruptions and resolve issues promptly, further enhancing the reliability of your hosting environment.
While VPS hosting may involve higher costs compared to shared hosting, it offers significant cost-effectiveness in comparison to dedicated hosting solutions. With VPS hosting, you pay for the resources you use, making it a more economical choice for businesses and individuals looking to upgrade from shared hosting without investing in a dedicated server. The scalability of VPS hosting also allows you to adjust your resources dynamically, optimizing costs based on your website’s traffic and growth patterns. This cost-effective scalability ensures that you can allocate resources efficiently without overpaying for unused capacity.
7. Support for Resource-Intensive Applications
If your website requires resource-intensive applications such as e-commerce platforms, databases, or multimedia content, VPS hosting provides the necessary computing power and performance to support these applications effectively. Unlike shared hosting environments, which may impose restrictions on resource usage, VPS hosting allows you to utilize dedicated resources for demanding applications without compromising performance. This capability ensures that your website delivers a seamless user experience, even under high-demand scenarios, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and retention.
Switching to VPS hosting offers numerous benefits for businesses and individuals seeking superior performance, scalability, security, and control over their hosting environment. Whether you’re a growing business expanding your online presence or a developer requiring a flexible platform for testing and development, VPS hosting provides the reliability and resources necessary to support your goals effectively. Consider the outlined reasons when evaluating your hosting options and make an informed decision that aligns with your website’s requirements and future growth plans.
By choosing VPS hosting, you can empower your website with enhanced performance, security, and scalability, ensuring a competitive edge in today’s digital landscape.

Featuring large-scale paintings and etchings, the exhibition highlights Mehretu’s use of gestural abstraction as a conduit for evocative and charged emotion and intellectual enquiry.
Glenn Ligon has described the artist’s work as ‘traversed by history [...] grounded in urgent political and social questions while simultaneously troubling the limits of abstract painting.’ In these new paintings, which continue from the ‘Conjured Parts’ series begun in 2015, Mehretu employs a broad spectrum palette to create powerful, animated, complex canvases. Marking a continued departure from her earlier work which focused on a layered language of mapping and architectural detail, these paintings take the immediacy of a news photograph as their starting point. These include images of such recent pivotal junctures as the rallies of independence in Catalonia; the voracious wild fires of California; the violent white supremacy rally and counter rally in Charlottesville, North Carolina; the instantaneous outbreak of Muslim ban protests throughout the United States; and the Grenfell Tower fire in London. Beginning with a process of obscuration where the found image is blurred and manipulated through Photoshop, it is then airbrushed onto canvas as an abstract departure point. Reduced to a background haze of colour, each painting is then built up through an extensive, intricate layering process using screen printing, ink and acrylic marks which are drawn, painted, airbrushed or erased. The original image, now just a blur, is metaphorically nuanced and elliptical, existing as a ghostly background presence whose visible highlights and eruptions of colour on the canvas surface pronounce moments of action and possible shifts of axis. This confluence and dispersion of energetic and decisive marks is respondent to the varied histories the photographs invoke.
Less structured than previous work and characterised by their intensely animated and vital surfaces, Mehretu’s paintings suggest a suspended moment ripe with possibility, defining what Suzanne Cotter has identified as a ‘mobility’ inherent in her painterly language. Part of a continual state of becoming, where marks reliant on effacement and erasure relate to action, they allow for new thematic possibilities. As Cotter has written, they are ‘[…] fundamentally, about the individual within the complex social and political dynamics that inform the nature of the world in which we live.’Urging the viewer to look, question and take time, Mehretu ignites the potential of painting to carry political significance, serving as an energising and motivational force that draws vital nerves and narrative lines with both the history of modernist abstraction as well as that of engaged political thought.
A new series of prints, made with master printmaker Case Hudson at Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles, are exuberantly colourful and large in scale, in part inspired by the artist’s recent visit to the Mogao caves in China. In these works, a multitude of varied black lines, marks and shapes overlaid on psychedelic backgrounds suggest a form of automatic writing that incorporates different tools and techniques. Conveying both the charged immediacy of political graffiti and the layers of scrawl and fly-posting that builds up in urban locales, they also reference mid-century abstraction; the poetic crescendo of their gestural profusion appearing contained only by the limits of the paper itself. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The AI4Life consortium collaborated with researchers from the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciências (IGC) in Portugal and Åbo Akademi University in Finland to develop DL4MicEverywhere, an intuitive interface that enables researchers to train and apply deep learning models on a variety of computing infrastructures, from laptops to high-performance clusters. The study has been published in Nature Methods.
Researchers have created a novel platform to enable life scientists to use state-of-the-art deep learning methods for biomedical research. Thanks to DL4MicEverywhere, researchers of any computational background can now analyze microscopy images with advanced artificial intelligence (AI).
The analysis of extensive and intricate microscopy datasets has been revolutionized by deep learning, a branch of artificial intelligence that makes it possible to automatically identify, track, and analyze cells and subcellular structures. Despite these developments, the use of these methods in life sciences research has been constrained by the requirement for computing power and AI knowledge.
DL4MicEverywhere establishes a bridge between AI technological advances and biomedical research. With it, researchers gain access to cutting-edge methods, enabling them to automatically analyze their microscopy data and potentially discover new biological insights.
Ivan Hidalgo-Cenamor, Study First Author and Researcher, Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciências
The new platform will be available as an open-source resource. The researchers think it will enable breakthroughs in various fields, including drug discovery, personalized medicine, and basic cell biology, by reducing the barriers to advanced microscopy image analysis. DL4MicEverywhere introduces multiple significant improvements over the team’s earlier work, ZeroCostDL4Mic.
It encapsulates deep learning workflows in repeatable and shared Docker containers, thus making it easier to train and deploy models across various computational environments. The platform uses an intuitive graphical user interface to increase the number of models available for common microscopy image analysis tasks.
“DL4MicEverywhere aims to democratize AI for microscopy by promoting community contributions and adhering to FAIR principles – making models findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable,” details Dr. Estibaliz Gómez-de-Mariscal, Researcher, Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciências and Dr. Joanna Pylvänäinen, Researcher, Åbo Akademi University.
The researchers added, “We hope this platform will empower researchers worldwide to harness these powerful techniques in their work, regardless of their resources or expertise. It will allow life scientists without coding experience to use deep learning on large numbers of microscopy images and videos to make discoveries. This will revolutionize how researchers plan their experiments and extract new information from microscopy datasets.”
With significant assistance from the AI4Life consortium, a global team of specialists in computer science, bioimage analysis, and microscopy worked together to develop DL4MicEverywhere. The laboratories of Prof. Guillaume Jacquemet at Åbo Akademi University and Prof. Ricardo Henriques at IGC co-led the project.
Prof. Guillaume Jacquemet and Prof. Ricardo Henriques said, “This work represents an important milestone in making AI more accessible and reusable for the microscopy community. By enabling researchers to share their models and analysis pipelines easily, we can accelerate discoveries and enhance reproducibility in biomedical research. DL4MicEverywhere has the potential to be transformative for the life sciences. It aligns with our vision in AI4Life to develop sustainable AI solutions that empower researchers and drive innovation in healthcare and beyond.”

LASIK & TLC - Am I a Candidate?
(See Video Below of how Bladeless LASIK works!)
As National Medical Director of TLC, Dr. Louis Probst is one of the most experienced surgeons in the world having performed more than 100,000 LASIK procedures in almost 20 years. Dr. Probst is a fellowship trained ophthalmologist with subspecialty training in corneal transplant/anterior segment and refractive surgery at the University of Minnesota.
For the last ten years, Dr. Probst has performed exclusively refractive surgery and currently specializes in bladeless all-laser LASIK.
Dr. Probst completed his ophthalmology residency at the University of Western Ontario where he received four awards from his peers for outstanding achievement. He was selected among ophthalmologists across North America for a surgical corneal fellowship in corneal transplantation and refractive surgery at the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Probst is a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. International Society of Refractive Surgery and Florida Medical Association.
He has received 16 awards including the Achievement Award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Dr. Probst has given over 300 national and international lectures and provides training to surgeons and eye doctors on LASIK and PRK at conferences throughout the world. He has published 7 textbooks, 72 book chapters, and over 50 peer-reviewed articles on refractive surgery and LASIK. As a leader in LASIK, he developed ten instruments specifically for LASIK.
The primary objective of your LASIK consultation is to determine whether you are a candidate for laser eye surgery, and if so, which procedure is most appropriate for you. We will educate you about why LASIK surgery is, or is not right for you, and about the benefits and risks associated with this type of surgery.
Before LASIK eye surgery, we will help you understand what results you can reasonably expect after the procedure, given your particular prescription and individual circumstances. Remember that scheduling a consultation DOES NOT obligate you to move forward with the procedure.
Candidates for Laser Eye Surgery Should Generally Meet the Following Criteria:
- Age: Candidates must be at least 18 years old.
- General health: LASIK candidates must be in good general health, and should not have certain health problems, including uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune or collagen vascular disease, or take any medication or have any condition that compromises the immune response.
- Eye health: Candidates should be free of eye diseases including keratoconus, glaucoma, cataracts, corneal disease and certain retinal and optic nerve diseases. LASIK surgery candidates should not have certain eye conditions including herpes simplex and herpes zoster.
- Eye problems: LASIK patients should make their eye doctor aware of certain eye problems including amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (muscle imbalance), or any recurrent, residual or active eye conditions that may influence healing. Other conditions that should be discussed with the doctor include keloid scarring with previous surgical healing, back problems and claustrophobia. Please make your eye doctor aware of any mental health conditions, as these may also affect your LASIK surgery or recovery.
- Eye injury: Patients should not have any eye infections or injury.
- Nursing/pregnancy: Candidates should not be nursing or pregnant when undergoing the LASIK procedure. Hormones may affect the stability of your prescription, so pregnant or nursing women are not eligible to pursue LASIK surgery until three menstrual cycles after nursing has been discontinued.
- Dry eye condition: Patients should not continuously suffer from dry eyes.
- Stable vision: Candidates’ vision must be stable for at least one year prior to the procedure date.
- Contacts: Prior to your LASIK surgery consultation and LASIK procedure, you must not wear contact lenses for a certain length of time. The precise length will be determined by your doctor on an individual basis. This ensures corneal stability and accurate assessment of your prescription prior to the LASIK surgery procedure.
- Corneal thickness plays an important role in determining proper candidacy for LASIK. Due to the nature of the procedure, candidates must have a minimum corneal thickness of approximately 0.5 mm. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Military Divorce Retirement Issues
If either you or your spouse is serving or has served in any branch of the armed forces, your financial picture as you approach divorce will require distinct consideration of retirement benefits and health insurance coverage. Whether the military spouse served in reserves, is on active duty, or is retired, family law attorneys at Barnes & Diehl, are experienced and prepared to make sure that you are aware of all benefits that you and your spouse may be entitled both before and after a divorce. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
Digging into the details of your or your husband’s (or wife’s) benefits may include an examination of the following:
- Retirement benefits and military qualifying court orders
- Former spouse survivor annuities
- Health insurance through TRICARE
Perhaps your military spouse was already retired at the time of your separation. If he (or she) made certain elections at that time, those elections may not be modifiable. Uncovering these details is one of the ways that a lawyer with experience in military divorces is prepared to assist before and during settlement negotiations.
How Our Attorneys Can Help Protect Your Interests
To help our clients understand negotiating points before mediation or other forms of settlement negotiations, our family law attorneys prepare easy-to-understand charts that allow for the manipulation of various “what if” scenarios. Where the military spouse has choices of how to allocate survivor benefits, for example, that may be used as a bargaining chip to be balanced against other factors such as college tuition assistance for children.
Are you and your military spouse considering trying a “do-it-yourself” divorce? While we understand your desire to limit legal costs, we urge you to be careful not to overlook key assets such as military pensions and life insurance survivor benefits.

French waste and water group Suez SA has contacted "specialised funds" about possibly selling its debt claims to Argentina, the group announced Wednesday.
The government has yet to settle debts with the French company for its termination of two contracts more than a decade ago, despite assurances given earlier last year that it would.
After meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in January, 2018, President Mauricio Macri announced that Argentina had agreed to settle the arbitration award in full.
The dispute dates back to March, 2006, when the government of president Néstor Kirchner rescinded a contract with Suez, which had operated the management of water and sanitation services in Buenos Aires City since 1993 through its subsidiary Aguas Argentinas.
Kirchner alleged that the French group had failed to comply with scheduled investments.
The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) arbitrated debts in favour of Suez in 2015, ordering Argentina to pay the company and its partners about US$630 million. The country owes close to US$405 million for ending the contract in the capital and a further US$225 million for a contract with Santa Fe City.
But more a one year after Macri promised his French counterpart that Argentina would compensate Suez, Argentina’s commitment remains unfulfilled.The company has indicated it will soon take the “first step” in seizing the outstanding debt by filing a claim with federal court in the United States.
"If our agreements and our discussions with the Argentine government do not advance, we will contact a certain amount of specialised funds [in order] to sell our debt," CEO Jean-Louis Chaussade said during a phone-in press conference earlier this week.
Chaussade said Suez is dismayed that the debt resolution has been neglected by the Argentine government for so long.
"We are a bit disappointed that the resolution of the first of these two arbitrations – the one from Buenos Aires for US$405 million – is going slowly and seems like it won’t materialise," Chaussade added. "I think it is in the interests of the Argentine government and Suez to find an agreement quickly, and that is what I hope for.”
Suez booked double-digit 2018 earnings growth and expressed confidence this week that earnings would keep growing into 2019. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

ComfortCare Select by Restonic is one of the mattress manufacturer's new collections, being placed alongside the original ComfortCare collection with the other new collections: ComfortCare Signature and ConfortCare Limited. ComfortCare Select models are described by several retailers as hybrid mattresses, with foams constituting a significant proportion of the height. Mattresses in each of these new collections feature Restonic's TempaGel. They also feature a foam-encased innerspring of individually wrapped pocket coils with Restonic's Marvelous Middle coil zoning. This contrasts with the original ComfortCare's use of open coils (such as Bonnell, offset or continuous coils).
ComfortCare Select mattresses range in height from 12 to 15½ inches. Models may be tight-top, pillow-top or euro-top. Comfort levels vary from extra firm to plush. The fabric in the cover is not disclosed (it may vary by local manufacturer or retailer), but the cover is part of a 1½ to 2" deep quilt. The quilting itself has a Marvelous Middle with more supportive materials in the center (lumbar) section.
The top comfort layer in ComfortCare Select mattresses is TempaGel, Restonic's own patented formulation of gel memory foam. This is memory foam with gel added. The gel makes the memory foam more supportive while remaining conforming. Gel also absorbs and conducts heat, transfering it away from the sleeping surface to where it can dissipate. A few retailers call this Cool-Gel Memory Foam, harking back to the previous formulation or name for this gel foam.
Other foams are used in ComfortCare Select models. Which foams are employed depends on the model. The choice of foam shapes the firmness and the feel of the mattress, and is what distinguises the models from each other.
A hybrid mattress is a combination of two kinds of mattress. The most common hybrid is memory foam mattress and innerspring mattress. Other types of hybrid mattresses include latex/innerspring and latex/memory foam.
The support unit of ComfortCare Select mattresses consists of about 850 pocket coils in a Queen size mattress (the actual count varies by retailer). They are about 8" high. These coils are individually wrapped. Their independent response conforms to sleepers' body contours and weight to relieve pressure on joints. Pocket coils are a definite improvement from the open coils in the original ComfortCare collection.
The pocket coil array is zoned for more support in the center, where the lower back is located. Called the Marvelous Middle, Restonic says the this center section has a "higher wire density." It is unclear exactly what this means. Most likely it would be more coils, but it could also mean denser (higher gauge) wire in the coils or more turns per coil (more wire used). According to Restonic, this not only gives more support to the lower back, it also prolongs the life of the mattress by preventing sagging in the middle, a concern with many innerspring mattresses.
Surrounding the pocket coil innerspring is Superedge Plus, a foam encasement. This high-density foam holds the pocket coils in place while providing edge suppport to the surface. This prevent rolling off due to edge sag. According to one retailer (US-Mattress), this is supplemented by a 6-gauge border rod, which makes sense with the extra height of the foams.
Depending on the retailers, warranties on mattresses in the ComfortCare Select Collection by Restonic are for 10 or 15 years. These mattresses are carried by many retailers. Model names do vary by retailer or retail group.

Why slowing down some healthy habits makes them way more effective...
Let's play that word game. I say, “Fitness.” What comes to mind first? Did you say “speed,” high energy,” or “no pain, no gain?” Most of us think faster is better when it comes to getting fit and healthy. And yes, at times, it IS (though I always emphasize the fact that fitness should not entail pain). But a lot of the time, we shortchange ourselves by failing to SLOW DOWN some aspects of our fitness routine. Here are a few "slower" habits that, as a trainer, I regularly urge clients to adopt.
Slow down when eating.
This one change can change your weight and your health. In a 2018 study of Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes, those who gobbled meals quickly were 29% more likely to be overweight than those who ate at a slower pace. Also, fast eaters were 42% more likely to exceed weight norms than those who took an especially long time to eat. Downing meals more slowly means you’re more likely to notice when you’re actually full—and you’ll probably enjoy the food a whole lot more, too.
Slow down your strength training.
Although there are times when strength training can incorporate speed and power (think kettlebell training), in general, most people are completing repetitions too quickly. The faster you lift a weight, the more momentum will take over, lessening the actual work your muscles are doing. Since muscles respond to overload, make them do the work by slowing your pace. Try counting 2-4 seconds up and 2-4 seconds down.
Slow down your stretches.
Stretching is another essential element of any fitness routine that we often rush, or worse, skip! Though it may feel like an eternity after a strenuous workout, we should hold stretches for 15-30 seconds each (and even better, do so 2-3 times for each muscle worked). This allows time for the muscles to truly relax and extend. This post-workout investment means lower injury rate, improved flexibility, and just better quality of life.
Slow down the “recovery phase” of HIIT workouts.
For years now, high intensity interval training (HIIT) has been a popular way to tackle cardio in a challenging way that can improve cardio capacity, torch calories, and dispel boredom. But ironically most people cheat themselves by keeping the “low” intervals too “high.” To maximize HIIT, truly slow down, allowing heart rate to recover, so you can hit peak power during work intervals.
Slow down thoughts & breathing.
Many of us think many of the same, repetitive, negative thoughts day after day. This type of rumination can often also be connected with depression. Catching yourself in negative thought loops allows you to stop the cycle and improve the day, even if you have to do it again & again. Also, breathing in deeply and releasing a nice, long out breath, even once, sets off a relaxation response in the body. Doing this periodically can be a super basic tool for handling bouts of stress. Practices like yoga, tai chi and meditation are excellent ways to formally slow our brains and bodies.
Finally, slow down before bedtime.
Sleep experts recommend a relaxing, pre-bedtime routine as a way to better ease into slumber. Taking a warm bath, reading, stretching, putting away work, and avoiding exercise too close to bedtime are all solid ways of slowing down. Not only will you fall asleep more readily, but your night will likely be more restful as well. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Our curriculum-based teacher professional learning workshops focus on providing teachers with:
Active learning opportunities: experiencing labs and lessons from a student's perspective
Subject matter knowledge around the science of food and cooking
Pedagogical knowledge around phenomena-based learning and sensemaking (NGSS aligned)
Sustained support throughout the school year
"I feel like I learned so many new things- instructional methods, cultural and historical connections, and ways to scaffold learning for students who are new to this kind of science set up."
"I really enjoyed actually going through the activities and labs themselves -- pretending to be students -- to actually experience what they would go through, and try to anticipate problems that may arise when they are trying to put together the pieces in their understanding"
"The workshop gave me a lot of confidence to teach in a new way. I learned so many practical ways to help kids see chemistry in their daily lives. I think it's going to really help the stigma around Chemistry in my space."

Ok you made me do it.
I so appreciate you all totally supporting me in pursuing my basic princess dreams. One of you said something in the comments about how these basic desires actually connect us all, and how as women, we shouldn’t be ashamed of leaning into things we’re often shamed for liking. I loved that perspective.

Which dress did I choose?
I ended up choosing the red dress on the Bali swing (even though everyone wanted me in orange – sorry!) because that color just makes me feel powerful. When I got on the swing, I was feeling pretty okay…until the guy started pulling me backwards and then I was like “WAIT HOLD ON.”
I screamed my head off on the first swing (not captured on camera) and was holding onto the ropes SO TIGHT. When the guy told me to let go, I was like “WHAT DO YOU MEAN.” But then my inner basic forced me to do it for the sake of the IG pic and well, I trusted, I survived, and ended up with a pretty cool photo while tackling my fear of heights!
All in all, a very unique once-in-a-lifetime experience.
So thank you for pushing me to do this!
In case you’re interested, they push you for about 3 min and one of the guys shoots pics and vids! It’s about $25 USD for the dress rental and the swing ride, and there are many styles of dresses to choose from! Sleeveless, halter, backless, puff sleeves etc. The fabric is like a very lightweight polyester, so that’s why it floats so well in the pics.
Some girls came wearing bikinis and that was def the way to go for the most seamless look (I did not do my research) so something to keep in mind if you do this! I did this in Ubud at the Tegalalang Rice Terrace!
The Tegalalang rice terraces also had other photo ops (beyond the Bali swing) so wanted to show you the shenanigans Sam and I were up to. We really committed to that nest theme as you can see.
Oh and everyone keeps asking us if we’re on our honeymoon. It’s too complicated to explain minimoons and such so we just started saying yes hahaha. Honeymooners forever! 🍯 🌙
More trip updates to come in stories!
So far Bali has me feeling whole and happy, and the best part (besides getting to experience all of this for the first time with Sam) is getting to spend time talking to the Balinese people. From what I’ve experienced so far, their culture seems to be rooted in kindness and gratefulness – something we all need to practice more.
These trips really take us out of our day-to-day grind (which we love btw) and broaden our view of how other people live their lives in different parts of the world. I feel fortunate that we’re able to do this, and am happy that I get to share some of these memories with you! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the rapidly evolving construction industry, the quest for efficiency and productivity is never-ending. As project complexities grow and deadlines become tighter, leveraging technology becomes not just an option but a necessity. Among the myriad tools available, construction management software stands out as a game-changer, offering comprehensive solutions that streamline processes, enhance communication, and ensure timely project completion. In this article, we delve into the world of construction management software, exploring its benefits, key features to look for, and some of the top solutions on the market today.
The Importance of Construction Management Software

This software aims to replace traditional, manual methods of project management, which are often time-consuming and prone to errors, with a more streamlined, accurate, and efficient digital solution.
Key Features to Look For
When selecting construction management software, it’s crucial to consider the specific needs of your business and projects. However, some key features are universally beneficial:
- Project Scheduling and Planning: Tools that help you create detailed project timelines, assign tasks, and track progress in real time.
- Budgeting and Cost Control: Features that enable you to monitor financial performance, track expenses, and manage invoices and payments.
- Document Management: A centralized repository for storing, sharing, and managing documents, blueprints, contracts, and change orders.
- Communication and Collaboration: Platforms that facilitate seamless communication among team members, stakeholders, and clients.
- Reporting and Analytics: Comprehensive reporting tools that provide insights into project performance, productivity, and profitability.
Top Solutions on the Market
While there are numerous construction management software options available, a few stand out due to their comprehensive feature sets, user-friendly interfaces, and robust support systems. Here are some top solutions:

- CoConstruct: Ideal for custom home builders and remodelers, CoConstruct offers project, financial, and client management tools designed to streamline operations and enhance client satisfaction.
- Buildertrend: Offering a comprehensive set of tools for pre-sale, project management, financials, and customer management, Buildertrend is a popular choice for residential construction companies.
The Road to Enhanced Productivity
Implementing construction management software can significantly impact the efficiency and success of construction projects. By automating mundane tasks, improving communication, and providing real-time insights into project performance, these tools not only save time and reduce costs but also enhance the overall quality of the construction process.
However, the key to maximizing the benefits of construction management software lies in choosing a solution that aligns with your specific project requirements and business goals. Consider not only the features and functionalities but also the software’s scalability, ease of use, and integration capabilities with other tools you may be using.
In conclusion, as the construction industry continues to embrace digital transformation, the role of construction management software in driving efficiency and productivity cannot be overstated. By carefully selecting and effectively implementing the right software solution, construction companies can achieve a competitive edge, ensuring timely, within-budget, and high-quality project completion. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If Sarah Mercer had ever been asked to describe herself in one word, it would be sensible. After all, she had a steady job. Made prudent decisions. Was in what she though was a logical relationship. But when her fiance dumps her for an exotic dancer, Sarah decides it’s time to change…everything! The first thing on her agenda? To get out of town and take a three month trip to Ireland. She’d always been captivated by the Emerald Isle. And she’d heard that there was nothing like an Irishman with a sexy accent and eyes as devastatingly green as the country’s rolling hills to make a girl feel better.
But maybe she shouldn’t have hooked up with her new landlord on the first night in town. Cian Murphy wasn’t supposed to be her type. His arms and chest were tattooed, and he had piercings everywhere. Still, he made her feel beautiful, sexy…alive for the first time in years. Falling for the Irish hottie was as natural as breathing. But figuring out what she’d do when it came time to leave? Not so easy...
Lauren Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson never imagined that she’d wind up telling stories for a living… though when she looks back, it’s easy to see that she’s the only one who is surprised. Always “the kid who read all the time”, Lauren made up stories about her favorite characters once she’d finished a book… and once spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic temperament.
Lauren lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, toddler, pit bull and idiot cat, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting (her husband claims that her snobby yarn collection is exorbitant), reading anything she can get her hands on, or sweating her way through spin class. She loves to hear from her readers! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Three Colors in H3 Fog Light Bulbs
When it comes to H3 fog light bulbs, which color is best – yellow or white?
White light is brighter, illuminating the road better in clear conditions, and enhancing visibility. However, it can create glare in snow or fog, which might lead to eye fatigue. On the other hand, yellow light is less dazzling to other drivers and excels at cutting through rain, snow, and fog, making it a safer choice in poor weather. However, it may be harder to see clearly in dry conditions.
So, which option is the best? The ideal solution would be an H3 fog light bulb that combines both yellow and white light, allowing you to adapt to various driving conditions. That’s what our B4 3-color H3 fog light bulbs are doing!
The 3000K yellow flashing function in H3 fog light bulbs can enhance visibility and safety, especially in foggy or rainy conditions. This feature not only provides a distinct warning signal but also helps cut through poor weather, making your vehicle more noticeable to other drivers.
Get Ready For All Weather
Introducing the Boslla B4 H3 fog light bulbs, featuring three adjustable color temperatures: 6500K cool white, 4300K white-yellow, and 3000K amber yellow. With a simple on-off-on switch, you can easily change the color to suit any road condition.
The 6500K cool white light provides exceptional clarity for nighttime driving, while the amber yellow options at 4300K and 3000K offer superior penetration, making them ideal for rainy, foggy, or snowy conditions.
If you frequently drive in challenging weather or live in an area with harsh winters, these versatile white and yellow H3 fog light bulbs are essential for your safety and visibility.
One-Click Switch Colors
Just toggle the headlight control switches to switch between white and yellow colors – so easy!
H3 Fog Light Bulbs Benefits
- 3 colors all-weather fit, improve your car’s look and function.

Install & Review
LED Chip Orientation Guide
To achieve optimal lighting output and beam pattern, position the LED bulbs with the chips oriented side-to-side. Arrange one set of LEDs facing 3 o’clock and the other set facing 9 o’clock. This configuration ensures a balanced 360° light distribution, creating an even beam and uniformly illuminating the housing.
Check Vehicle Bulb Model
Determining the appropriate bulb size for your car is crucial before purchasing LED headlight bulbs. To check your headlight bulb model, you can:
- Consult Your Owner’s Manual: The manual usually specifies the bulb type for your vehicle.
- Inspect the Bulb: Remove the existing bulb from the socket and look for markings on the base. These often indicate the model number (like H11, 9005, etc.).
- Use Boslla Bulb Finder by searching vehicle year, make, and model.
Warning Canceller / Anti-Flicker
Please note that some vehicles (such as the 2007+ Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, GMC, BMW, Mercedes-Bens and more) maybe require a set of CANBUS adapters to be installed. To confirm if need a DECODER or not, just remove the original headlight bulb and check if the dashboard show BULB ERROR or not. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
League Of Ordinary Gentlemen (Region 1) - Browne, Christopher
Releasedatum: 21 maart 2006
Bowling, though never a sport of Kings, at one point in time, occupied a perfectly respectable place in the pantheon of American sports. Then something happened: America ceased to embrace the PBA’s image of bowling. In 2000, three former Microsoft executives scooped up the entire apparatus of professional bowling to save it from the brink of extinction. The film focuses on Steve Miller, a former top Nike executive, and four professional bowlers at very different places in their careers and their sometimes funny, sometimes sad adventures on tour as professional athletes.

Brewhouse One: Wild Saison Ale with Riesling Juice
Just a little jazz.
Wild and sweet
Roaring out of our barrel-aging program comes our newest Brewhouse One offering: Wild Saison Ale with Riesling Juice.
We teamed up with our friends at Amigoni Urban Winery to create this beast of a beer, an intriguing mix of saisons and Belgian wild ales. Aged in neutral oak barrels and puncheons for almost a year, then re-fermented with Riesling juice, it was then bottle conditioned for two more months. Now, finally, this intensely puckering beer is ready to release into the wild.
Wild Saison Ale with Riesling Juice pours a beautiful golden yellow hue and bursts with funky, floral, fruity aromas. Look for notes of pineapple, lychee, Meyer lemon, honeysuckle and light oaky vanilla, teaming with a funky brett character to make this a delicately barbaric ale.
Malt: Pale malt, malted wheat, unmalted wheat, spelt, Munich Malt, Amber 50, Cara 120, flaked oats
Yeast: Brettanomyces, lactobacillus, Belgian yeast, wild yeast
Pairing ideas: charcuterie, trout almandine, ahi tuna sushi roll, a porch swing, and a spring sunset | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Volkswagens of the past, present and future on show at the IAA
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will have one of its biggest and most diverse vehicle displays ever at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show in Hanover (20-27 September), with a total of 120 vehicles on show. These will include models from the past, present and future, with the eT! electric delivery van concept, the latest 4MOTION and efficient BlueMotion Technology models, a huge display of conversions, plus a historic collection celebrating the 65th anniversary of the iconic Transporter.
The eT! concept will be a highlight of the 4,528 m2 Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles stand in Hall 12. Developed by Volkswagen Group Research, which is responsible for the CV world of tomorrow, it offers an insight into the future of electric light commercial vehicles.
Dr Rudolf Krebs, Group Manager for Electric Traction at Volkswagen AG said: ‘The eT! transfers E-mobility to the area of commercial use and is a building block for an innovative logistics concept for the future. Naturally, it is not a vehicle which could become available very soon, but we must make plans today for what the world of lightweight commercial vehicles might look like in the second half of this decade.’
In addition to the vehicles on its stand, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will have a further 63 models in the 5,500 m2 ‘Pavillion 35’ area, demonstrating the wide array of uses for its conversions, including a Transporter ambulance and a solar-powered refrigerated delivery van. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Alvin Edward Soukup, 67, of Stillwater, MN, passed away on August 10, 2023, after a brief illness.
Al was born October 3, 1955, in Fargo, N.D. to Al and Evelyn Soukup. He attended Holy Spirit grade
school, and Fargo Shanley High School. After high school, he attended North Dakota State University on
a four-year football scholarship. Many who knew him in college were surprised to find out that Al knew
there was a library on campus and was actually spending time there; until they found out that Lori
Sande was employed at the NDSU library. They married in 1982 and made their first home in
Bloomington, MN. There they welcomed their first child Maggie, in 1987 and later, after moving to
Maple Grove, their son Sam was born in 1989.
After college Al went to work for Carlson Travel and later Martin Bastian Company, a Minneapolis-based
production company specializing in corporate meetings and events. He eventually bought Martin
Bastian and ran the company until he sold it to BI Worldwide. He worked at BI Worldwide as a vice-
president until he retired in 2021.
Al had a great passion for the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. Whether it was LacSuel, Leech
Lake or Turtle Lake, spending time in a boat with friends, family or football buddies was Al’s idea of
heaven on earth. Annual trips to the family farm in Lankin and Medina N.D. were much anticipated
events for him. He loved chasing ducks, geese and pheasants, and out in the field Al was a teacher and
mentor for not only his son and son-in-law but many of his nephews as well.
He was proud of his children and adored his new grandchildren. Spending time with family was very
important to Al and he often took it upon himself to organize family reunions.
Al is survived by his wife Lori, children Maggie (Wesley) Adair, Sam (Mackenzie) Soukup, grandchildren,
Henrik Adair, twins Harper and Hayes Soukup, mother Evelyn Soukup, brother Mike (Shelley) Soukup,
sister Kathy (Joe) Cicora, sister Nancy (Kris) Tufto, brother Greg (Dawn) Soukup, brother Scott (Annie)
Soukup, sister-in-law Betsy Sande, sister-in-law Kari (Guy) Oseth as well as 15 nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father Alvin Soukup, in-laws Milton and Bonita Sande and brother-in-
law Greg Sande.
Services will be held on Friday, August 25 th , 3 pm at Bradshaw Celebration of Life Center, 2800 Curve
Crest Boulevard, Stillwater, MN.

Hyatt Hotels & Resorts is the first major hotel chain to fully implement Passkey GroupLink, which will electronically deliver all Hyatt group reservations for citywide and single property events near real-time into the individual properties’ PMS system. With the implementation of GroupLink, Hyatt continues on its strategy to provide its meeting planner community leading edge solutions for efficiently managing meetings at its properties. In this case, Hyatt’s now fully automated group reservation process will deliver numerous competitive advantages, including the ability to keep events open through the day of arrival, and allowing for complete yield and inventory management from one data source.
“Hyatt offered us Passkey for our meetings and we were thrilled,” said Lisa Walker, Convention Director, National Association of Biology Teachers. “Before Passkey we were doing it the old fashioned way where attendees called the hotel directly inevitably creating a lot of confusion between all parties. Now, we are able to customize an event reservation website, manage our room blocks efficiently, run reports anytime we want, and eliminate book-arounds and attrition exposure.”
“Passkey has been a true partner by listening to our needs and our clients’ needs,” explained Bruce Small, Director of Sales Information Systems. “Together we were able to integrate our systems seamlessly, using the industry standards such as OTA guidelines, and truly evolve the automation of managing group reservations.”
Since Hyatt’s automated group reservation strategy was implemented last year with Passkey, more than 50% of their group reservations, at participating Hyatt’s, are booked online through Passkey, either through Passkey Room List Manager or individuals booking online at custom event websites. With Passkey GroupLink all group reservations, including new, modifications, and cancellations are now going directly into RESERVE, Hyatt’s CRS system, which then automatically passes the data electronically to the Hyatt properties’ PMS systems. Passkey GroupLink can also send all reservations, including uploaded rooming lists, from multiple groups to multiple hotels simultaneously in a single transaction, including the various billing methods applicable for each event. Furthermore, Passkey Grouplink is allowing Hyatt to establish unique business rules on an event by event basis, such as stepped cancellation management, accepting post cut-off reservations, managing sub- blocks and upselling room types when appropriate.
“We understood what Hyatt was trying to achieve with our group technology - exceptional meeting planner satisfaction with Hyatt,” explained Greg Pesik, President & CEO, Passkey International Inc. “Naturally, Hyatt was a perfect partner to integrate with via GroupLink to showcase how meetings can be managed in a way that creates a win-win between the hotel and a meeting planner.”
Hyatt can now offer meeting planners the option of keeping Passkey-enabled events open up until arrival date, to allow them to capture the maximum attendance for their event, and get full credit for all room nights generated by the event. Meeting planners will have faster, more reliable information about their actual group pickup by viewing up-to-date custom event reports online, gaining more control over their room blocks, and will not need to worry about errors in their attendees’ information. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Live creatively, friends. . . Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens . . . Make careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life. . . sharing all the good things that you have . . . What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others - ignoring God! - harvests a crop of weeds. All he'll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God's Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life. So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. . .
Galatians 6: 1-10 (The Message)
In the New Living Translation, verse 9 reads: So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.
God of all ~
My soul falls to its knees before Holiness. Speechless in the presence of Your Majesty, I weep, for I do not know what to say. You always let me rest at Your feet.
You are the Power and Glory that charms me, yet sometimes I struggle to understand. You are the creative force that beats within my heart, races through my mind, surges inside my soul; yet, sometimes I ache with uncertainty. How do you want me to use these gifts?
I long for the Holy Spirit to reveal my harvest road. I long to plant in response to You, to grow through the Holy Spirit, to harvest a crop of real life. Holy Father, I long to reap a harvest of blessing and tell everyone it comes from You.
In the daily planting, let my heart be open to Your voice. Help me to not grow weary when the harvest seems far away. Teach me to find Your Seeds, to plant them with Eternal Hope, to nourish them with Living Water. Father, when the time is right, show me a harvest blessing. Amen. ~dho | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I am so sorry but I am temporarily out of calendars. The printer that makes my calendars gave me a partial delivery one week ago, promising the rest in a few days… not uncommon. Then I called yesterday, asking for the rest of my order, to hear this, “We are so sorry, you are not getting any more as we are going out of business!” WHAT? I did send out over 200 calendars, but had 400 more coming. I had received orders for 245 calendars when I stopped my process. I quickly secured a trusted Fort Worth printer, that my wife has been working with for decades. They are happy to take over and will do a great job, but it will be 1 to 2 weeks before our order is in. Of course, those that already placed their orders will get their calendars first, and everyone that wants a calendar will get one within a few weeks. Also, anybody that ordered one, and is not able to wait for it, can request a fast refund from me. I am so sorry and thank you so much for your orders and your friendship.
This 2025 Calendar is a collection of 13 of my favorite images of our beautiful city: Fort Worth, Texas. It is 11" x 17" and is printed on beautiful 120 lb. McCoy Silk Cover paper and then Wiro bound across top with hanging wire in center.
IN ADDITION: You will receive one beautifully packaged box of 10 assorted Fort Worth Holiday Cards and envelopes.
It is important to me that you are thrilled with your purchase so if you are dissatisfied for any reason, please contact me at email@example.com and I will arrange for a complete refund. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Businesses and candidates alike have been navigating a climate of uncertainty over the last couple of years. In March 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic brought recruitment activities to a grinding halt for many businesses as they were challenged by national lockdowns and supply chain disruptions.
However, as the world starts to return to normal, the UK job market in 2022 is bursting with opportunities as employers move forward with their hiring plans. Recruiting in the current climate though is proving to be a big challenge. Let’s take a look at the challenges that companies are currently facing and what they can do to optimise their hiring processes.
This data from leading UK job site CV-Library demonstrates how drastically vacancies were impacted by the pandemic. Vacancy numbers started to fall in February 2020 as businesses preempted the first UK national lockdown in March. Employers began to regain confidence in the UK job market throughout June and July as the country began to slowly re-emerge from lockdown and while there have been a few dips since then, on the whole, vacancy numbers continued to grow and even surpass pre-pandemic levels.
According to the Office for National Statistics, November 2021 to January 2022 saw the number of vacancies reach a record high of 1,298,400. The chart below highlights how sharply vacancy numbers have risen post pandmic.
With more vacancies on offer than ever, employers will have to be at the top of their game if they wanted to secure top talent.
Before the onset of Covid-19, candidates held all the power in the UK job market as vacancy numbers were high. This power dynamic flipped practically overnight when the country locked down and as demonstrated by the graph below, the number of applications per job increased by a whopping +78.7%, giving employers a plethora of candidates to choose from.
Between March and September 2020, employers enjoyed a seven month period of being in the power position however this was short-lived. Job seekers gradually saw power shifting back to them, meaning the pressure is now on employers to refine their hiring processes and benefits packages. Given the continued increase in vacancies since June 2021, we can estimate that the number of applications per vacancy has continued to fall.
Given the state of the UK job market in 2022, employers will need to do everything they can to give themselves an edge over their competition when it comes to recruiting the best talent.
When it comes to job adverts, candidates want to know the following information.
We always encourage our employers to include this information at the advertising stage. Displaying the job salary is particularly important as it makes an advert 58.1% more likely to receive applications, on average.
Job interviews are a big opportunity for employers to not only assess candidates but also to pitch their business. With plenty of opportunities available, candidates can be pickier about what they want from their next role because they have so much choice. Candidates can be put off at an interview stage by their interviewer and will withdraw their application when met with the following behaviour.
The length of the hiring process will also have a big impact on the success of your recruiting efforts. The entire process should ideally take no longer than 2 weeks, with multiple interview stages and delays being off-putting to candidates. In the current climate, if your process takes too long, the best candidates are likely to be snapped up by another company before you get to the job offer stage.
After a turbulent couple of years, candidates once again hold all the power in the job market. This means that businesses need to offer competitive job packages in order to attract and retain top staff.
Offering a competitive salary is clearly very important for attracting candidates. So, before you decide on what to offer, do some research or work closely with recruitment experts to figure out what your competitors or other similar-sized businesses outside of your industry are offering for the same type of role. You don’t have to pay the highest salary, but it will give you a good idea of what constitutes a fair wage.
It’s not just about offering the highest salary. A significant number of job seekers are looking for a position that can offer a good work-life balance and more flexible working opportunities. If you can’t offer an industry-leading wage, you might be able to sell your role based on these factors instead.

28. WHITTINGTON'S HOSPITAL
A hospital was founded in 1424 by the executors of Richard Whittington (fn. 1) for thirteen poor persons, who were to live in a house built for them to the east of the church of St. Michael Paternoster and next to the dwelling of the chaplains of Whittington College. The thirteen were to be citizens of London, preferably members of the Mercers' Company, or inferior ministers of Whittington College who could no longer fulfil their duties, and it was an essential condition to their election (fn. 2) and continuance as inmates (fn. 3) that they should have no other means of subsistence. They were to live in separate apartments within the house, but were to have their meals together. Their dress was to be of seemly form and dark in colour. One of their number called the tutor was to have the rule and administration of the house, and his superior position was marked by his receiving a weekly allowance of 16d. instead of the 14d. (fn. 4) allotted to each of the others, and by a relaxation in his case of the rule (fn. 5) prohibiting absence from the hospital. Certain religious duties were prescribed: the almsmen had all to be present at the daily services in St. Michael's Paternoster Royal, and had to pray for the souls of Whittington and Alice his wife, and after high mass they were to assemble round Whittington's tomb and recite the De Profundis; private devotions were also enjoined. The mayor of London was supervisor of the house, but it was with the wardens of the Mercers' Company that the care of the foundation mainly rested: out of every seven vacancies among the poor men they appointed six times, the master of Whittington College once, and they chose the tutor; an inventory of the movables of the house had to be made every year and shown to them, and the seal of the hospital could not be used without their leave.
The connexion between the hospital and the college must have been close from the first, and doubtless grew closer as in course of time former clerks of the college became pensioners in the hospital. Indeed, from a report made in 1538 about the feeling in the houses (fn. 6) it would be impossible to gather that they were two separate institutions, the tutor being mentioned as if like the choristers he belonged to the college. It is evident that this man, William Gibson, held strongly to the old opinions, for he said openly that 'the northern men rose in a good quarrel and that he trusted to see a new day.'Most of his fellows, however, were of the opposite party and 'were so weary of such communications that they were ready to go out of the house.'
This house of charity was not abolished at the Reformation, and in the eighteenth century still existed in the place where it had been founded, the men and women receiving then a pension of 3s. 10d. a week, and new clothes every three years. (fn. 7) In 1823 the Mercers' Company acquired some land in the parish of Islington and there built a chapel and thirty houses to accommodate a chaplain, a matron, and twenty-eight almswomen. (fn. 8)

Content from the Brookings Institution India Center is now archived. After seven years of an impactful partnership, as of September 11, 2020, Brookings India is now the Centre for Social and Economic Progress, an independent public policy institution based in India.
Mark Zuckerberg must find a “Goldilocks zone” where the privacy protections are calibrated by the state of digital maturity and levels of digital trust — and are “just right.” “If you had asked me, when I got started with Facebook, if one of the central things I’d need to work on now is preventing governments from interfering in each other’s elections, there’s no way I thought that’s what I’d be doing if we talked in 2004 in my dorm room.”
His sentence construction may be unwieldy, but Facebook’s founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has been doing a lot of — belated — apologising for the latest instance of an egg on his face. Data on 50 million users had found their way from Facebook to a shadowy research outfit, Global Science Research, and then on to Cambridge Analytica, a data-mining and political consulting firm launched by Steve Bannon, the former White House advisor. Cambridge Analytica is a player of some consequence; it claims credit for tilting the field in favour of the winners in a wide swath of elections — from Donald Trump in the US in 2016 to Nitish Kumar in his landslide win in Bihar over Lalu Prasad Yadav back in 2010.
Zuckerberg has confidently promised to fix Facebook, but it will be far from easy. The ultimate social network is a victim of its own success and eye-watering revenues. When Facebook’s 2 billion users around the planet log in every month and share or swipe past some slice of the human condition as offered up by friends, family and others, the users and their contexts are bound to vary widely. To get a sense of the spread of contexts that Facebook must straddle, consider the two most important markets for the company: India, which has the largest number of Facebook users and is among its fastest-growing markets; the home market of the US. Now, add Brazil and Indonesia as the next two markets behind these two dominant ones. To manage a social network spanning this much disparity of socio-political contexts and levels of digital trust would call for Zuckerberg to re-enroll at Harvard and get a degree in what I might call “digital anthropology”.

Dog lovers, get ready to put your moniker where your mouth is!
The Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue is throwing its Fall Festival in Gowanus on Sept. 14, a doggie-centric bash to raise money and awareness for the compassionate dog rescue center. And one highlight of the event will be a pit bull kissing booth, where attendees can learn firsthand just how gentle the much-maligned breed can be.
“The main goal is showing this other side of pit bulls, but it’s also just fun and adorable,” said Deb Klein, the events coordinator at Badass Brooklyn.
The festival will take over the entire block of President Street between Nevins Street and Third Avenue. More than 20 craft vendors and food trucks will be hawking their wares, while Shake Shack will bring free dog biscuits and its signature dog-friendly “Pooch-ini” custard cups. Most of the vendors will be donating a portion of their haul to Badass Brooklyn, said Klein.
And while humans pucker up with the pitbulls, their pooches can enjoy a “doggie selfie booth,” where hounds can take photos of themselves by pressing their noses on an iPad.
The rescue center — whose motto is “Saving badass dogs from idiot humans” — is dedicated to taking abused and neglected dogs, mostly from the areas of the country with few no-kill animal shelters, and pairing them with new, non-idiotic humans. The organization uses a network of foster owners who help rehabilitate the dogs, and because it is entirely run by volunteers, all resources go into the cost of transporting the animals, spaying and neutering, vaccinations, and training, explained Klein.
Klein said the festival will also provide an opportunity to bring together the community of foster and adoptive owners across the city and state who have helped train, take in, and find homes for the second-chance canines.
“The festival is just about gathering dog-loving New Yorkers to come in, bring dogs, and enjoy the day,” she said.

MORGAN'S GREAT RAID
Brigadier General John H. Morgan began his famous raid by hand-picking nearly 2,500 Confederate cavalrymen and artillerymen and setting off from Alexandria, Tennessee, on June 11, 1863. Morgan’s intent was to divert Union forces away from the Confederate armies gathered in Tennessee. He and his men lived off the citizenry, destroyed military infrastructure, and fought minor battles and skirmishes at many small towns and garrisons along their path that would take them 958 miles in 25 days. On July 2, 1863, while two great armies were battling in the hills surrounding Gettysburg and another two great armies were engaged at Vicksburg, these raiders forded the Cumberland River at Burkesville, Kentucky, as they headed north towards Louisville through Union-held territory. On July 8, Morgan's troopers crossed the Ohio River into Indiana at Brandenburg, Kentucky, southwest of Louisville. By July 13, Morgan and his men entered Ohio at Harrison.
Along the way, these men raided towns, stores, and private homes, confiscated much needed horses to replace their worn-out ones, and caused great anxiety among the citizens in the Northern states he entered. As the raiders continued east across Ohio, they encountered more and more Union militia and townspeople who began to harass Morgan's force and make life difficult.
Union Major General Ambrose Burnside organized Union troops and militia units to prevent Morgan from escaping back to the South. Burnside sent Union cavalry forces under Brigadier Generals James Shackelford, Edward Hobson, and Henry Judah in hot pursuit. He also coordinated with Lieutenant Commander LeRoy Fitch's U.S. Navy gunboats, which steamed up the Ohio River toward Portsmouth, Ohio.
On July 18, 1863, after a long day of fighting with various Meigs and Gallia County militias and citizens, Morgan arrived at Buffington Island with the intention of using its ford to return back to friendlier territory on the opposite side of the Ohio River. Worn out from a hard day of riding and fighting, Morgan decided to rest his men and wait until next morning to take on the Marietta Militia guarding the ford, which allowed General Judah’s and General Hobson's pursuing cavalry forces, as well as Commander Fitch's gunboats, to catch up to Morgan during the night. The battle began at approximately 5:30 a.m. on July 19, 1863. Fighting raged across the fields along the river for two hours, but as Morgan began to ford the river, the Union gunboats USS Moose and Allegheny Belle shelled the Confederates and prevented their crossing. As more Union troops under Brigadier General Eliakim Scammon arrived, Morgan was forced to retreat northward.
Morgan, along with about 1,100 men, escaped while the rest of his force surrendered. He again tried to cross the river near Reedsville and Hockingport, across from Belleville, West Virginia, but was again turned away by the Union gunboats and ground forces. While 330 of his men did reach the West Virginia shore, others drowned, and Morgan was forced to turn west and then north. Union troops continued to pursue Morgan until finally on July 26, 1863, he and 364 of his men were captured just west of West Point in Columbiana County.
From best estimates, approximately 3,000 Union cavalrymen, artillerymen, infantrymen, and sailors and 1,800 Confederate cavalrymen and artillerymen were engaged at Buffington Island, the largest battle of the Civil War to take place in Ohio and the other Eastern Midwest states. The Battle of Buffington Island cost the Union 6 killed and 20 wounded, while the Confederates lost 57 killed, 63 wounded, and 71 captured. Within twenty-four hours of the fight, another 570 of Morgan's men surrendered to Union forces at various places in eastern Meigs County, northeast Gallia County, and along the West Virginia shore of the Ohio River. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
How can we create an eye-catching, educational and fun experience that improves financial literacy in Europe?
The European Banking Federation wanted to make a creative splash during the 2022 edition of European Money Week, with a focus on its theme of financial skills and education.
Teaming up with Bump, we then co-created an interactive lightning bolt quiz installation, where people could test their knowledge in a fun and simple way, while bringing awareness to the importance of supercharging financial skills all across Europe. We activated the experience on the pavilion of the ING Marnix Building in Brussels and at various events hosted throughout the week.
In addition to the installation experience, we developed video content to share the quiz, events and stakeholders involved in making European Money Week a resounding success in an online format.
Check out some of the clips below to see highlights from European Money Week and the Supercharging Financial Skills campaign:
We also took the campaign a step further by developing dynamic and catchy TikToks for the European Banking Federation, where we included promotional content for the activation, shared quiz questions and offered a behind-the-scenes look at European Money Week:

TECHNOBURLESQUE IMAGE SNATCHERS
Live streaming from Stara mestna elektrarna – Elektro Ljubljana via Pretok.tv.
Presented in the frame of the streaming programme E+TOK / POWER STREAM.
Technoburlesque is a mute comedy of the body that mocks rigidity of social roles. It uncritically appropriates, copies and glues together femininity, masculinity, family relationships, machismo and other degenerated social roles that are unrighteous considered to be normative. When Image Snatchers totally expose themselves — and remove their social dresses layer by layer — they do not find the essence, but realize that the essence is nothingness, and the performed travesties opium that makes living bearable. This amusing play in cross-dressing and their behavior are a result of great sexual and bodily liberation from social bands. Satisfied in eclectic noise of media images they stretch popular snap-shots and bite them to their unheard-of forms that provoke burst of laughter or despair. Image Snatchers don’t seek for meaning but pleasure. As pleasure is the hedonistic polish with which they smeared everyday objects and made something exceptional out of them. Technoburlesque is an intersection of (program/cybernetic) code and subjectivity; a laying bare of the physical and emotional body indivisibly bound up with the information matrix of contemporaneity.

New Year’s Mommy Makeover
One of the most joyous occasions in a woman’s life is the birth of her child, especially during the holiday season. Family members and friends, near and far, will travel to see the new addition for the first time and celebrate the holiday season.
However, a new mother may be wondering what the future holds. Not just for the newborn, but also for herself.
If you are a new mommy who wants to have your pre-pregnancy body back for the new year, then perhaps a “mommy makeover” is right for you!
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A mommy makeover is a comprised of a few surgical procedures in order to restore the body you have before pregnancy. The combination of specific procedures varies from patient to patient, depending on each woman’s particular needs and desired look.
The following are the most common procedures to include in a mommy makeover:
Breast Lift – Restores the breasts to a youthful position on the chest and removes any loose skin, as well as excess tissues, which results in a sagging look. Often, breast implants are necessary to replace the volume loss.
Liposuction – Used to remove individual pockets of fat from various areas of the body, specifically those that do not respond well to diet and exercise.
Tummy tuck – Removes excess skin and tissue from the midsection to sculpt a slimmer waistline, as well as tightens the abdominal wall muscles to reverse the stretching caused by pregnancy. Other procedures associated with a mommy makeover may include facial enhancements, such as laser skin rejuvenation or an eyelid lift.
Have Burnett Plastic Surgery Give You That Fresh New Year Start!
In general, our Westfield plastic surgeon likes to limit surgeries in a six to eight-hour timeframe to reduce the risk of complications. If your combination of procedures is within this timeframe, then it would take just one session to perform your choice of procedures. Combining procedures save some expenses related to plastic surgery, such as anesthesiologist fees and operating room fees.
To determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment or to find out more about the recovery period, contact Burnett Plastic Surgery and schedule a consultation today. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
City jobs dramatically decline as other sectors recover
Morgan McKinley’s Summer London Employment Monitor details City hiring trends from April through June 2019. The second quarter of the year saw dramatic decreases across the board in terms of both jobs available and professionals seeking jobs. Despite this, the quarter was not without some bright spots: job seekers increased in May and June by 7% and 5% respectively, month-on-month. June also saw a 3% month-on-month increase in jobs available.
Morgan McKinley’s findings for the financial services market are contrast to other sectors including technology which has seen jobs in London rise by 60 per cent since 2010, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). ONS also showed the number of people in work in the UK had reached its highest level since 1971, hitting 32.7 million.
Hakan Enver, managing director, Morgan McKinley UK commented:
“News of Prime Minister Theresa May’s resignation signalled a potential shift in Brexit negotiations in the months ahead, but with no new leader in place, these negotiations remain at an impasse. While most sectors in Britain have seen an increase in hiring despite the deadlock, the financial services sector is especially vulnerable to regulatory uncertainty and remains slow.”
“Major banking organisations as well as those from the wider financial services space, have refrained from investing in talent due to the lack of clarity. Furthermore, banks have made no secret of announcing job cuts, various restructuring and moving jobs overseas, all of which contribute to the ongoing sluggishness of City hiring with countless projects and plans on hold. Deutsche Bank, HSBC, and Nomura are just the latest to cut City jobs.”
“If we have a no-deal Brexit, those projects and all the jobs they would have generated go from being on hold to being cancelled. Whoever takes up residence on Downing Street must remember that financial services is the single largest contributor to Britain’s tax base. If those jobs keep being treated like collateral damage, eventually someone else is going to have to pick up the tab for the government’s expenses.”
“The City always bounces back from downturns, and it is chomping at the bit to bounce back from Brexit, but the farther we go down this hole, the harder the climb back up will be.”
Technology sector visas a model for post-Brexit financial services sector
Despite flattening out in the first quarter of 2019, projections for fintech’s growth in Britain remain optimistic. Experts estimate needing to fill thousands of fintech jobs in the UK in the decade ahead. As applications for visas for the technology sector grew by 45%, a record number of visas were issued to technology professionals and the government made a resounding commitment to ensure that top technology talent will be welcome in Britain.
“The financial services sector benefits from any efforts to attract technology talent to the UK. But we need this type of nimble, forward looking approach to be applied to the broader financial services sector, as well. As it stands now, the process and odds of getting a visa to work in the City are too opaque, which is pushing people to look to alternative financial services hubs, such as New York, Singapore and Hong Kong,” said Enver. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Have you taken your Vitamin C today? I’m not talking about the Vitamin C that comes from drinking your morning orange juice or from taking a capsule. I’m talking about Vitamin C that you must master to
become more successful both in business and in life. If you were to go through the dictionary, you would find some great C words as if you were to master them, you would simply become successful.
The first C word is always a Commitment. If it’s to be it’s up to me. We first have to commit before any endeavor or journey. “Your actions speak so loud, I can’t hear a word you’re saying.” Your actions and not your words will always show your commitment.
Courage: Not necessarily courage on the battlefield. However, the courage to just be able to make a decision. It is proven that decisive people are much more successful than indecisive people. Have the courage to make the decision, you’ll then know if it worked or not and you can always make the shift from there.
Change: For things around us to change – we must change. It’s not necessarily the outside circumstances that control our outcomes but on how we show up as it always starts with us. If you are a leader and you want a better team. You must first become a better leader to attract a better team. Be willing to change to become the person that you need to be to attract the success that you want in business and life.
Communication: Proper communication is the key to success or the lack of communication is the key to breakdowns. Whether it be a husband and wife, a two-person team or a large organization or community, lack of communication is always the leading factor in the lack of success and is a leading contributor to stress, frustration, and breakdowns. Make sure you are in proper communication, make sure you’re talking to your team, having your weekly meetings. Make sure you are using behavioral
assessments as so you know how to communicate with the different behaviors. Communication is key in any and every successful endeavor.
Contribution: It’s not about us. We’re all here to serve. Whatever profession you’re in – make it about others. When you take yourself and make it all about others in what they want – I guarantee you that you will be in the flow and life will be great. It’s important to understand that wealth creation is a by-product of helping everyone else get what they want. Serve them first and make sure you contribute.
Confidence: A you master all these principles they will lead to increased confidence. As you become more decisive in your decision-making process, you’re communicating properly on all channels, you have upped your commitment in yourself and all those around you and as you are willing to change to be better, that will give you the ability to gain more confidence. Remember, that it is the energy of confidence that people absorb to gain the faith to buy your product and service.
As you master these principals and you begin to achieve success – make sure that you always Celebrate.In addition, don’t wait for the big all grand success to celebrate. Make sure you are celebrating all the little successes along the way.
In conclusion, I sure hope you are all getting your fair share of your vitamin C. If you’re not – I encourage you to rate yourself on a scale of 1 – 10 in each of the areas and identify of where you need to make the shifts to shine up those areas to increase your vitamin C intake as so you can become a better leader, a better entrepreneur and most importantly a better person. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The best and worst places to buy a used car in the UK

A new study claims to have uncovered the best places to buy a used car based on the quality of dealerships and value for money.
It has also revealed the towns and cities where buyers are most likely to complain about their dealer and pay over the odds for a second-hand vehicle.
Hide AdAccording to the research, Bolton is the country’s used car capital, with well-regarded dealers and a reasonable average price making it the best place to pick up a second-hand model.
Blackpool and Canterbury were close behind in the rankings, compiled by Moneybarn. Both cities’ dealerships received more recommendations but cars were more expensive.
To come up with a rating system, the researchers examined dealership reviews on the Car Dealer Reviews site, ranking each city by the number of “excellent” or “terrible” reviews. They then looked at the average price of second-hand examples of Britain’s best selling car - the Ford Fiesta - to rank cities by value, and combined the two scores.
According to Moneybarn’s calculations, Bolton leads the way with an overall score of 7.58 out of 10, with 75 per cent of customers rating their dealer excellent and only 14 per cent leaving a terrible review. Buyers also paid an average of £8,635 - more than £1,000 lower than the national average.
Hide AdBlackpool scored 7.51 and Canterbury, 7.48. Both saw 79 per cent of reviews rating dealers as excellent but Canterbury scored more terrible reviews - 12 per cent compared with Blackpool’s seven, and average prices of £11,154 and £10,354 kept them behind Bolton.
The research also looked at the cities where a shortage of excellent reviews along with a high number of terrible reviews and high prices spelled bad news for buyers.
Cardiff came out as the worst place to buy a used car, scoring a lowly two out of 10. Thirty eight per cent of drivers rated their dealership experience as terrible and with an average price of £10,908 for a used Fiesta the city is more than £1,000 more expensive than the national average.
Just above it, Northampton scored a meagre 2.26, with 33 per cent of reviews rated as terrible and an even higher average price of £11,588. Birmingham’s dealers performed even worse, with 41 per cent of reviews branding them terrible. However, a below average price of £8,342 kept it above the other two locations, leaving it with a ranking of 2.91.
While Bolton was the best overall city, Weston-super-Mare topped the table for customer satisfaction, with 88.7 per cent of drivers giving an excellent rating and just 4.8 per cent leaving a terrible review. At the opposite end of the scale, in Burton-on-Trent just 37.5 per cent said their dealer was excellent while 52.1 per cent left a scathing terrible rating.
Romford had the cheapest used car offering. The average asking price of £5,894 was almost £4,000 less than the national average of £9,766 and £8,500 cheaper than in Epsom, where an average price of £14,417 earned it the title of the most expensive location.
The study only looked at cities where there were reviews for 20 or more dealerships and where there were at least 20 listings for used Fiestas listed on Parkers.co.uk.
