(Editor’s note: Story by Montana Sports Information)
GREELEY, CO – The Montana softball team dropped a pair of extra-inning, walk-off decisions to Northern Colorado on Friday afternoon as the teams’ three-game series opened at Gloria Rodriguez Field in Greeley.
The Bears won the opener 1-0 on Rachel Johnson’s one-out, solo home run in the bottom of the eighth, then scored three times in the bottom of the ninth in game 2 to rally for an 8-7 victory.
The Grizzlies (22-26, 8-9 BSC) have lost four of their last five games to drop to sixth place in the Big Sky Conference standings, one up on seventh-place Idaho State with the six-team league tournament opening in Ogden, Utah, in less than two weeks.
Colleen Driscoll took the hard-luck loss in the first game, allowing just two hits through 7 1/3 innings before Johnson’s game-winner.
Valerie Vidal was just as good for Northern Colorado (25-22, 7-6 BSC), giving up four hits, never more than one in an inning. Just three times did the Grizzlies have a runner at second base.
“Colleen was good. She hit spots and gave us a chance to win the game,” said coach Melanie Meuchel. “She did what she needed for us on the mound. We needed to find a way to scratch one.”
Johnson beat Montana to it when she hit her sixth home run of the season over the fence in left.
“It was a good swing, and I thought it was a good pitch,” said Meuchel. “The one pitch they got made us pay.”
The Grizzlies didn’t wait long in game 2 to do what they couldn’t do in game 1, scoring twice in the top of the first.
MaKenna McGill led off the game with a triple and later scored on an error. Delene Colburn, who would have three hits on the day, singled and scored on an Ashlyn Lyons RBI to make it 2-0.
But the lead wouldn’t last, as the Bears scored one in the first off Maddy Stensby, then added three more in the third to go up 4-2.
Montana retook the lead in the fifth, scoring three times with two outs. A Colburn double drove in McGill, Madison Saacke singled home Colburn, and Jessica McAlister singled to drive in Ashlyn Lyons.
Tristin Achenbach relieved Stensby with two outs in the third and ended the inning with a strikeout. She worked a hitless fourth and a scoreless fifth before allowing a sacrifice fly in the sixth that tied the game.
The runner who scored got on base to open the inning on a Montana error in the outfield, one of a number of uncharacteristic misplays by the Big Sky’s top defensive team.
“We weren’t very good defensively today,” said Meuchel. “We struggled at making plays and some of those turned into hits.”
Achenbach got out of the sixth and seventh innings with the winning run at third base, and she pitched a three-up, three-down eighth, setting up Montana’s ninth.
Anne Mari Petrino singled to left-center with one out and scored one batter later on a costly infield error that ended with Gabby Martinez on third. Martinez scored on a McGill ground out to make it 7-5.
The end came quickly in the bottom of the ninth, as the first three batters were credited with doubles off Achenbach. That tied the game. After an infield pop-up, Natalie Joyner made it two straight walk-offs with a single to right.
Montana finished with 10 hits, matching its highest output in a game since March 10, with Colburn going 3 for 5. Eight batters had hits, with McGill and Colburn both scoring twice.
“It was back-and-forth offensively. We had our chances but let them back into it,” said Meuchel. “When we have that many hits, we should win.
“We get another opportunity to come out tomorrow and compete. We need to stay in attack mode.”
The series will conclude on Saturday with a game at 1 p.m. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Founders Week 2025
Celebrating the Anniversary of the Founding of Moravian University
Moravian University and Theological Seminary is an institution founded by women and was the first to educate women. Join us in celebrating our alumnae, students, and the generations to come.
Mark your calendars—Founders Week 2025 will be held Monday, March 24, through Saturday, March 29.
View our photo galleries from Founders Week 2024!
About the Founders Week Graphic
The Founders Week graphic represents select women who have helped shape our beloved Moravian University throughout the years. From left to right, the women pictured are:
Benigna Von Zinzendorf
Von Zinzendorf is the founder of the girl’s school in Germantown, PA on May 4, 1742. It moved to Bethlehem seven weeks later, relocated to Nazareth in 1745, then returned permanently to Bethlehem in 1749. There were 25 pupils at the school, and they were taught reading, writing, religion, and household arts. The girl's school, which is now Moravian University, was the first boarding school for girls in the 13 British American colonies.
Caroline Cameron Lockhart
Enrolled at Moravian in 1888, Lockhart's diversified career included work as an investigative reporter, journalist, editor, newspaper owner, novelist, activist, historian, horsewoman, rancher, and homesteader. While at Moravian, she was caught dangling out of a second-story window in a harness designed for a fire escape that she tried on as a dare!
A. Kathrine Miller ’34
Miller taught biology at Moravian from 1936-1941 before receiving her Ph.D. in bacteriology from Cornell University. In the late 1940s, she developed the drug Caronomide, which led to the development of antibiotics and other drugs used in chemotherapy. The A. Kathrine Miller Super Lab on Moravian's campus was dedicated in her honor in 2015.
Jennifer Jimenez ’14
Jimenez is a lifelong learner. She completed her degree as a single mom working 50+ hours a week. Embracing the Moravian community, Jiminez has continued to stay involved by volunteering for the Career Center, attending alumni events, being a part of the Moravian Alumni and Parent Program, and serving as secretary of the Alumni Association Board of Directors.
Moravian University encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have any questions regarding physical accessibility, please contact the Alumni Engagement Office at 610 861-1366 at least one week prior to this event. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In late September, on her second day of work as the first registered lobbyist in Washington for atheists and other nonbelievers, Lori Lipman Brown, the director of the Secular Coalition for America, was on the phone with a Christian talk show host in California, projecting a kindly tone. “Some people say, ‘I’m praying for you: I hope you find Christ,'” she told the radio audience. “If they believe I’m going to go to hell if I don’t change my belief system, they think they’re doing something very nice for me.” Even so, she said, “we want people to stop denigrating us and putting us down because their belief system is different from ours. Because atheists are so hated in our culture, most atheists don’t let people know they’re atheists…a lot of them stay in the closet.” Brown is working, in essence, for atheist pride, and she compares her battle for the rights of nonbelievers to the gay-rights movement of 30 years ago. “It’s going to take quite a while,” she admits.
Several groups already lobby for separation of church and state. But Brown’s mission is to take on issues the others won’t touch, such as removing references to God from the citizenship oath. Her coalition of five humanist and atheist groups, which organized in response to the post-9/11 upswing in political piety, claims to speak on behalf of the estimated 30 million Americans who either don’t believe in God or have no religious preference.
For now, though, she is armed with little more than idealism, dedication, and the cheery eloquence of a self-described “warm, fuzzy atheist.” Her first-year budget is a modest $100,000, including her salary of roughly $50,000. Her campaign office on the day we met consisted of a long, narrow table in the basement of the American Humanist Association’s town house. On it were perched photos of her husband and dog, and a white cordless phone she’d bought at a CVS drugstore. Her laptop computer hadn’t arrived yet. A dozen plaques—including her law degree and awards honoring her for leading the 1993 effort to repeal Nevada’s sodomy law—were piled up on the makeshift desk.
Brown is the opposite of the angry atheist stereotype created by the late Madalyn Murray O’Hair, who was dubbed “the most hated woman in America.” Dressed on that first day in a black pantsuit, the 47-year-old Brown is, above all, nice. With her easy smile and mop of curly black hair, the former Nevada state legislator, high school teacher, and law professor is hardly a D.C. power player. But she’s no pushover either: She once sued a Republican opponent for defamation when he claimed that she didn’t participate in the pledge of allegiance at the statehouse. Of her new job, she says, “We’re not here to convert people, but we want people to be okay with what we want to believe.”
Brown concedes that she needs to be strategic in her lobbying: That afternoon, for example, she joined a coalition lobbying against an amendment allowing faith-based Head Start providers to discriminate on religious grounds. She stayed in the background, letting her Baptist colleagues buttonhole Southern Baptist legislators.
Yet among nonbelievers, her presence was already being noticed. Herb Silverman, the president of the Secular Coalition, reports that hundreds of nonbelievers have already emailed the group saying they are grateful to hear her speaking out. “Their hopes are with her,” he says, “but not their prayers.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

camp is a weeklong experiment in choreography, art, and collective living that culminates in live performance. Curated by AUNTS, camp brings together artists from assorted disciplines to work autonomously alongside each other to create an immersive dance/performance/party—a dynamic whole no more or less important that its individual parts.
“When you go to AUNTS, you go to something like a party: a gathering that orbits around multiple, overlapping performances, structured to facilitate chaos. As its current organizers… say, ‘AUNTS is about having dance happen.’” — The New York Times
“[AUNTS] remains one of the dance world's pleasures.” — Time Out New York
About the Artists
Founded by James Kidd and Rebecca Brooks in 2005 and organized by Laurie Berg and Liliana Dirks-Goodman since 2009, AUNTS is a roving platform for dance and performance guided by core principles of collectivity, cooperation, and sharing. Adapting to any architecture, AUNTS generates a constantly shifting environment where artists simultaneously produce/present work while audiences engage at will, creating their own experiences through chance encounters.
AUNTS is a project of Before Your Eyes Inc., supported in part by the Yellow House Fund. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Why Frank Reagan Won’t Retire in Final Season of BLUE BLOODS
By Movieguide® Contributor
While BLUE BLOODS will come to a close with its fourteenth season, showrunner Kevin Wade explains why Frank Reagan will not retire at the end of the series.
Per TV Insider, “Some characters this season, like the mayor, have hinted at a desire for a new commissioner, raising questions about whether Frank is going to stay in the job that defines his life. Even when he has difficult days like in Season 14 Episode 10, which showed Frank and his father (Len Cariou) at uncomfortable odds over a deceased cop’s use of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, Frank doesn’t want to leave this work behind. And the show’s creators don’t want him to either.”
In an interview with TV Insider, Wade explained his reasoning behind why Reagan won’t step down as police commissioner.
“I’m pretty sure that Frank would stay in his job until the series ended,” he said. “We didn’t really pursue that avenue because the show is built on him being the police commissioner of New York City.”
“So to take a detour during the last mile, if this is the last mile, I don’t know what he would be doing down at the hardware store or having coffee with old buddies during the day,” he added. “I always have to look at stuff that generates stories. Police Commissioner of New York generates stories. He’s the CEO of 35,000 cops.”
ScreenRant suggests that the decision to keep Reagan in his position might signal a future for BLUE BLOODS despite the cancellation.
“The writers are seemingly keeping some storylines ongoing (like Frank’s run as the New York City Police Commissioner) in the event that CBS brings the series back for a fifteenth season or a BLUE BLOODS spinoff. The plot won’t come to a definitive end (like the death of Frank) that can’t be undone if the show were to continue,” the outlet explains.
Star Tom Selleck has also signaled that he’d love to keep working on the show.
“I’m not counting the days so I can do something else,” he told TV Insider previously. “I love the work. Sometimes the hours are a little harder because I’m older, but so what? I want work as long as they’ll have me.”
As of right now, though, despite fan and cast wishes, BLUE BLOODS will conclude with the second half of Season 14, which airs later this year.
Wade revealed that he won’t leave any questions unanswered in the series finale.
“There won’t be any cliffhangers because there’s no cliff, but it ends,” he explained. “Anything we would do that was an open question would by definition never be answered, so we’re trying to bring character stories to a close in that one. Obviously, we have some stories, some plot, but no, it’s designed as the last one.”
Movieguide® recently reported on the ending of BLUE BLOODS:
American police drama BLUE BLOODS is coming to an end with its fourteenth season, and stars Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan explained how leaving the show feels like saying goodbye to family.
“I think it’s more saying goodbye to the people behind the character. We’ve created such a family on set with each other and the crew—most of the crew’s been with us for 14 years, so we’ve been through a lot of weddings, births, deaths, and everything. We’ve been through it all with each other,” Moynahan said.
She told Drew Barrymore that she’s feeling “more upset and sad” about the show ending.
Wahlberg, a long-time friend of Moynahan, shared how he supported her when others doubted her ability to direct an episode of the show.
“I don’t remember who it was so I’m not throwing anyone under the bus, but somebody came to me early on, someone said, ‘Oh, Bridget wants to direct,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, and? She’s gonna do it, right? It was like, do you think there’s anything that she can’t do? She’s been lights out, phenomenal,” he said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

"Language is the gateway to the world".
Language is the cornerstone of all communication.
Our multilingual concept fosters a cultural and linguistic openness and curiosity, which our international team lives and breathes day-by-day in an authentic way. Furthermore, the native languages of our children, parents and pedagogical staff is valued and assimilated into everyday life.
At MULTI LINGUA, children have the opportunity to learn German, English and Russian in a natural and child-friendly way.
When children grow up multilingual, they are
linguistically more versatile in the long term and more efficient and flexible in their thinking;
more capable of learning foreign languages at a fluent/native level;
able to learn further languages more easily.
Immersion means being fully immersed in the language.
Our pedagogical staff are language role models in their native language.
According to the principle of “one person-one language”, one person speaks one language throughout (conversations with the children, games, songs, rhymes, books, etc.).
In addition, language support in our day-care centres is integrated into everyday life and takes place throughout the entire daily routine.
We participate in the “Sprachkita” federal program. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Meditating with a Zen master in Nepal, getting spiritual advice from a shaman in Peru, or visiting a Swiss biohacking clinic may not sound like conventional ways to overcome jet lag. They’re all part of a new wellness program from VistaJet, a private-air provider focusing on new tangential ways to promote health among its clients.
“We decided to look at the ways we can impact our members’ lives off the airplane,” Matteo Atti, chief marketing officer at VistaJet, told Robb Report. “The goal is to turn a tiring journey into an energizing one, especially for clients who fly multiple times each week.”
The international private-jet firm has worked on the concept for a year and a half, says Atti, to provide more depth than just creating a program to fill out its membership offerings. VistaJet’s on-board food and wine choices are already extensive, with well-known celebrity chefs creating seasonally-rotating menus as well as sourcing food from thousands of local suppliers.
Divided into pre-, in- and post-flight segments, the company first offers a complimentary consultation with a nutritionist to discuss the best foods to eat before and during the flight, including meals that high-performance athletes consume when they fly. Instead of a rum and Coke, how about beetroot juice or coconut water? Some of the healthy dinner choices include roasted salmon with wild rice and asparagus or miso chicken with brown rice, kimchi, and miso maple-glazed eggplant.
“Many clients have already given us their meal preferences, so we find the best ways to navigate those for the most impactful diet,” says Atti. “It goes from being a passive process to an active way they can participate.”
The in-flight portion also includes meditation apps, modifying cabin lighting to minimize jet lag, and including items like Guerlain’s Orchidée Imperial collection for skin health as well as aromatherapy and special teas.
The post-flight portion includes wellness guides by Dr. Jordan Shlain at Private Medical with tips and exercises, but goes beyond that.
“We realized there’s so much to influence beyond jet lag and diet,” says Atti. “So we came up with 20 personally transformative experiences that add more depth to the program.”
The list is wide-ranging, from a 21-day spiritual retreat through Nepal and Bhutan with adventure travel outfitter Pelorus that includes monastery visits, traditional rituals for body health, and prayer sessions with Buddhist monks to a biohacking retreat in Ibiza that promotes longevity through cellular function. Detoxes in Sweden, a trip to Joali Being in the Maldives—billed as the world’s only “wellbeing island”—or rituals in Mexico for rejuvenation are also part of wellness options via VistaJet’s Private World travel program.
While these trips cost extra, the rest of the health program, from the nutritionist to the special menus, is included in the cost of membership. “When flying is part of your life or business routine, we want to make sure it is a moment that adds value,” said Atti. “Flying better should mean living better.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The increasingly magical powers of AI and XR push the boundaries of human sensing, and in some cases have achieved a consistent illusion upon the human sensory apparatus: i’m thinking of haptic button in apple products, for example. Meta is a company that is actively trying to achieve this, because for Mark Zuckerberg, the metaverse is about presence, so their whole approach to the space is based on the idea of tricking the senses into perceiving a companion that isn't really there. You can see this in things like the codec avatars they have showcased. I happen to think that this a fundamentally flawed approach to the idea of inhabiting virtual worlds, but that's an argument I will make somewhere else.
The case of AI is much more clearer, we are at a point now where we know pretty much anything we see could have been artificially manufactured, no matter how believable it looks. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Nothing brings on the holidays like the scents of the season.
Apart from holiday baking, candles and air fresheners are a great way to fill your home with festive scents. But have you ever wondered what kinds of things are included in those products? Looking a little closer, the ingredient lists to create those scents are less than stellar. They are filled with harmful chemicals! Breathing those kinds of ingredients all through the holidays is not a great way to start the season. Being the naturally driven ladies that we are, we love this homemade alternative. Homemade potpourri creates the lovely aromas of Christmas in a healthy way.
Begin by getting a medium sized pot and filling it 3/4 the way full.
Next, place all the following ingredients into the pot:
Other suggested ingredients:
All-Natural Orange Spice Potpourri Recipe
3 Orange Peels
3 Cinnamon Sticks
3-4 cups Water, plus more
Pour water in a medium size pot until 3/4 the way full, about 3 or 4 cups. Mix all ingredients into the water. Put it on the stove and let simmer on low. Add more water if after 2 or 3 hours, you want to keep the potpourri going.
This potpourri also makes a wonderful holiday gift! Pack all ingredients together except water in a large glass jar or bottle. Make sure to use within one or two days. Enjoy!
Please do not leave your house while this is simmering and be sure to fill more water in pot as needed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A man was arrested on American University’s campus after a lockdown and an alert about a “dangerous subject” on Saturday.

Police locked down campus and sent out an alert about a "dangerous subject,” advising students to go inside a secure location.
Shortly after, officials sent an update saying the suspect was in custody.

2024 James S. Jackson Award Winner: Anna Lau, Ph.D.
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is pleased to announce that Anna Lau, Ph.D., has been selected as the 2024 James S. Jackson Memorial Award winner. The NIMH James S. Jackson Memorial Award was established in 2021 to honor outstanding researchers who have demonstrated exceptional achievement in minority mental health and mental health disparities research, community engagement, and mentorship.
Dr. Anna Lau is a Professor of Psychology and Asian American Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Associate Dean for Inclusive Excellence in the Life Sciences. She is a faculty member in the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program and directs the Culture and Race/Ethnicity (CARE) in Youth Mental Health Lab. Dr. Lau trains students in evidence-based treatment for youth and teaches courses in Asian American Mental Health and the Psychology of Diversity.
Racial inequities in youth mental health are longstanding and persistent. Amid an ongoing youth mental health crisis, disparities in unmet need are likely to widen. Dr. Lau’s work spans services research, translational and prevention research, and implementation science focused on the needs of minoritized youth and the systems serving them. It’s easy to document care disparities and even to identify their drivers. But it is the challenge of our times to find solutions to advance equity. Together with her research team, collaborators, and community partners, Dr. Lau seeks to leverage and adapt evidence-based innovations to reduce disparities in youth mental health in community settings, including schools.
Dr. Lau came to this work as a first-generation student and daughter of immigrants, who was fortunate to have trailblazing mentors who invested in her.

Stay on Track with a Progress Log
I recently created a progress log for the next phase of our Nomadtopia, and it immediately made it feel more real and got me excited to keep things moving forward.
I wanted to share the idea in case you’d like to do the same, whether to plot out your Nomadtopia or some other big project.
A progress log is a great way to stay on track and allow others to support you and cheer you along (if you share it). It can also be fun to have this record to look back on later and see how far you’ve come! You could create a progress log on your own website or blog, in social media posts, or in a community like the Collective—or start a private one to track your progress just for yourself.
You can start by outlining your vision, goals, and plans. It might be helpful to also define your “why” and sketch out a rough timeline. Then, whenever you like—daily, weekly, monthly, or when something notable happens—add a comment or create a new post to share your recent progress, wins, and/or setbacks. Whenever you hit a roadblock, reach out to your support team or gather the resources you need to keep moving forward.
If you’re in need of a support team, the Collective is the place to be!

Using a breast pump is always an option for a breastfeeding mother who plans to return to work away from home or simply needs a break. It is a simple and effective method of maintaining milk supply when a parent is unable to be with their child.
Many mothers are concerned about using a breast pump for a wide variety of reasons, which can range from affordability, efficiency, ease of cleaning, usage, and comfortability. However, it can be said that pumping can be a stress-free and empowering experience if done correctly. Speak with a professional, such as a lactation consultant, if you have any concerns or emotional tolls about using a breast pump.
Pumps come in a variety of styles, including manual, single or double electric, and hospital-grade. Your health insurance must cover a free electric breast pump under the Affordable Care Act. Take advantage of this benefit even if you only plan to pump occasionally.
Pumping is a straightforward procedure. It takes a little more effort for a mother to use a hand pump than an electric pump, but the plan remains the same (though the timing varies slightly—10 to 20 minutes). It is not necessary to sit and pump until the last drop is forced out.
Even if the milk stops flowing, it is critical to continue pumping for 15 minutes.
- Read the instructions carefully for using and cleaning your breast pump. Always ensure that your hands are clean before using the pump.
- Place the nipple properly in the pump’s cone-like areas that fit onto the breast. Before turning the pump on, lean forward slightly.
- Maintain a low suction and slow pump speed. Many women are perplexed by this advice because they believe that high speed and suction will extract the most milk in the shortest amount of time, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.
- Simulate what the baby does, or your milk supply may suffer. The baby sucks slowly and lowly, not quickly and loudly.
- 7 minutes of pumping- it is normal to see nothing coming out at first. After a few minutes of pumping, you will experience a “let-down,” in which the milk begins to flow.
- Stop the pump for 1 minute and massage the breast all around, from the armpit to the nipple. In a sense, this gives the breast a break and allows it to reset.
Advantages of using breast pumps
Today’s modern urban mothers have a better option: breast pumps. For mothers who need to be away from their babies, the breast pump is a godsend. Despite the fact that many new-age mothers have heard of the pump, it remains an alien object to many, with many reservations, particularly regarding its usage and effectiveness.
A breast pump enables a nursing mother to pump and store breast milk, allowing the baby to reap the benefits of breastfeeding even when the mother is not present. This enables working mothers to ensure that their babies receive an adequate amount of breastfeeding despite the distance. However, its benefits are not limited to working mothers; stay-at-home mothers can also use a pump to store milk. Using a breast pump continuously can also help to save new mums from heaviness and engorgement of breasts. So if you think a breast pump would be advantageous for you to use, why not explore your options.
Experience hospital-grade breast pumps for safe and easy expression when you choose the top brands trusted by most mothers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The newest and most advanced testing technology is aimed at preventing motorcycle collisions and has been rolled out alongside the completion of a new 400m intersection at the Future Mobility Testing and Research Centre (FMTRC) in Cudal.
The new technology can assess how well a car detects and avoids collisions with motorcyclists.
In NSW, motorcycle registrations have jumped by 20% to nearly 280,000 in the last 5 years, and tragically, on average, 58 motorcyclists are killed and almost 1000 seriously injured on NSW roads every year.
The NSW Government’s expansion of its testing capabilities and on-site expertise in Cudal is critical to the work of Australasia’s independent vehicle safety testing organisation, ANCAP.
The world-class site is helping the automotive industry and developers realise the next generation of safety enhancements that will benefit all road users.
The new crossroad intersects the existing 1.6km runway at the former Hazelton airport site. The $1.2 million intersection was constructed by TfNSW teams from across the Central West, along with a contractor’s local crews.
To date the Cudal site has delivered more than 80 test and research programs.
Other recent upgrades to the FMTRC include the installation of EV charging facilities, refurbishment of the existing house with fit-for-purpose office spaces for testing teams, and an upgrade to 5G connectivity across the site to facilitate advanced vehicle testing.
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Jenny Aitchison said:
“This new technology upgrade will allow ANCAP to advance to the latest, most sophisticated set of criteria for its vehicle safety ratings in NSW, and cements this facility as a world-class autonomous technology testing site.
"The safety testing carried out at this site benefits all road users from families to freight operators, and importantly keeps jobs and knowledge in Australia.
“By developing testing technology and talent in-house we help ensure investment into regional NSW stays in the regions and encourage more international businesses to come here to test and develop their systems.
“It is exciting to see how, as vehicles become smarter, they also become safer. I encourage all drivers to keep safety front of mind no matter what vehicle you are operating.”
ANCAP Chief Executive, Carla Hoorweg said:
“The commitment from the NSW Government to expand its local testing capability and on-site expertise is vital to the work ANCAP is doing.
“The skills, equipment and testing provided by the Future Mobility Testing and Research Centre mean ANCAP can continue to encourage the latest safety features and technologies in new cars, and the recent intersection upgrade and arrival of the new motorcycle test dummy will see new cars rated from this year offer an increased breadth of safety performance.”
Transport for NSW Director of Future Mobility Evan Walker said:
“When we opened in 2019, the facility delivered the first Safety Assist test program for ANCAP in the Southern Hemisphere. Our latest additions will help ANCAP further lift the bar on safety standards for all new vehicles hitting our roads.
"Our vision is for this Australian-leading centre to continue to grow as a world-leading testing and development site for automated and electric vehicle technology. We have worked with industry on a draft Masterplan which outlines how we hope to achieve this.
"The Cudal site plays an important role in the development of these technologies to boost safety and reduce carbon emissions for manufacturers based in the Asia Pacific Region.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
This year has been especially challenging for people in rural and regional areas, says NSW Nationals Mental Health Minister Bronnie Taylor.
In the face of immense adversity, our communities have shown their resilience throughout. Just as people were aware and alert to fires in the region, now they are aware and alert to the importance of self-isolation and social distancing.
“Country people often put on a brave face and tell others that the glass is half-full. Many people who I have spoken to are finding reasons for joy and glimpses of beauty in their current position,” Mrs Taylor said.
“However, people are affected in many different ways, and everyone’s circumstances are unique. Aside from the health implications, losing your livelihood, social connections or simply being stuck at home around the clock can be stressful.
“That’s why staying mentally healthy and taking care of yourself and your families is so important. There are a number of things that can be really helpful, from keeping up your normal daily routine as much as you can and sharing how you’re going, to getting some fresh air and exercise.”
Tips like these can be very useful towards maintaining mental wellbeing, but if you notice a significant drop in your thoughts or feelings or those of people around you, please know that there is professional help available for free.
“Putting up your hand is one of the bravest things you can do,” Mrs Taylor said.
“Take care of yourselves and each other, and know that together, we’ll get through these challenges.”

CLAIMED THAT THE BUS DRIVER WAS REVERSING HIS VEHICLE WHEN THE COLLISION OCCURRED
After he was involved in an auto accident with a school bus (owned by Jofaz Transportation and driven by JWF), the plaintiff, JML, filed a personal injury lawsuit claiming he rear-ended the bus because the bus driver was reversing course and thus caused the collision.
After discovery, the Kings County Supreme Court granted the bus company and its driver’s request to be dismissed from the case. And, on appeal, the Appellate Division, Second Department, thought the dismissal was “properly granted.”
Apparently, the deposition testimony established that the bus driver was “free from fault in the happening of the accident,” and that the plaintiff, JML, “failed to raise a triable issue of fact.” The contention that the school bus reversed was thought to be “speculative,” particularly since JML admitted that he didn’t see the bus reverse into his vehicle.
There was no reversal there, at all ....

THE carabinieri of the station of Cittanovacoordinated by the Prosecutor Emanuele Crescenti and the Deputy Prosecutor Veronica Origlio of the Palmi Prosecutor’s Office, carried out a precautionary measure against a 38-year-old non-EU citizen originally from Nigeria, investigated on the serious charge of mistreatment in the family.
The facts date back to last June, following a call received on the Single Emergency Number “112” with whichThe staff of the SAI Centre (Reception and Integration System) in Cittanova reported an ongoing assault against one of their clients. In particular, according to the caller, the woman had asked for help because her partner was attacking her, preventing her from leaving the house. Circumstances actually found by the carabinieri who intervened on the spot.
Therefore, the activation of the code redthe legislative measure introduced to ensure timely reaction by law enforcement and the judiciary to gender-based crimes, such as domestic abuse, stalking and sexual violence.
And so, thanks to the close collaboration between the military of the Arma and the staff of the Anti-Violence Help Desk of Taurianova, it was possible to reconstruct over 10 years of moral harassment and physical violence suffered by the woman, who had never before found the strength to report it. Finding courage and thinking about the future of her minor children, often witnesses of the attacks, the victim told how, over time, even banal situations of cohabitation had become a real ordeal, with her partner who, abusing alcohol and drugs, was ready to raise his hands and offend her. What opened the complainant’s eyes and made her aware of the unsustainability of that situation was an argument that arose from the woman’s request to receive money to be able to provide for the support of her children. Hearing that “demand”, her partner had started hitting her on the head and back, telling her that if she needed money, he would force her into prostitution.
According to the accusation hypothesis supported by the GIP of Palmi who signed the order, it is believed that only the precautionary measure of house arrest can ensure that the suspect, immediately already affected by a prohibition on approaching the injured party, no longer represents a danger for his ex-partner.
Among other things, the assessments made by the investigating judge of Palmi were influenced by the fact that the mistreatment to which the woman was a victim, which had occurred even before her transfer to Italy, arose from the lack of a real family union and were accentuated by the arrestee’s abusive and violent behaviour.
The proceedings are currently pending in the investigation phase and the actual responsibility of the person subject to the precautionary measure, together with the validity of the accusations brought against him, will be examined during the subsequent trial. Further investigative and evidentiary developments are not excluded, also in favor of the person under investigation.
Are you a victim of violence or stalking? You are not alone. Call 112 – Single Emergency Number – or 1522 – Anti-Violence and Stalking Number. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tommorow, the only poll that counts during the 2014 election will take place.
It has been a most unusual campaign, with the early period dominated by ''Dirty Politics'', and, after a spell of relative normality, the so-called ''Moment of Truth'' holding centre stage.
In both cases, either directly or via his associations, ministers and staff, the guns have been aimed at Prime Minister and National leader John Key.
The tactic and hope of opposition parties for years has been to get dirt to stick to ''Teflon John''.
They know he has been the key to National's continuing success. It seems, though, with Labour continuing to languish in the opinion polls, the main beneficiaries of the accusations might well be the ''minor'' parties of Winston Peters and New Zealand First, and Colin Craig and the Conservatives.
The Conservatives might break the 5% barrier (although that was more unlikely as of last night's opinion polls) while - as we have long predicted in this column - New Zealand First appears to be climbing significantly beyond that level.
It seems, too, that the accusations and denials are not shifting the views of many voters.
Those who cannot stand John Key are all the more certain in their appraisal of him, while Mr Key's supporters will always trust him ahead of his political opponents.
Many voters find all the detail too much to take on board. Complexity dulls the responses. Others believe dirty politics is simply the name of the game and is to be expected.
Similarly, extensive spying, one way or another, is just what goes on and it is necessary for safety and security and protection from evil-doers.
If the revelations do not ''prove'' Mr Key is a blatant liar, then what is all the fuss about, they ask.
Labour and its leader, David Cunliffe, must be frustrated, having been left out of the main picture during the hullabaloos.
Labour does not appear to have benefited as might have been expected from National under attack.
The days of two-party dominance are long gone, with voters able to register a wider range of choices.
Although both National and Labour are basically centrist parties, there has been more of a divergence this time from Labour, one the electorate probably has not had sufficient opportunity to engage with.
Labour has tilted more towards policies of intervening in the economy.
Mr Key, meanwhile, continues to frustrate the right of his party with his unashamed pragmatism and forays into Labour territory.
Voters do, nevertheless, have choices and several policies will make a difference, especially so if coalition parties can successfully influence further policy.
The Green Party, for its part, is endeavouring to paint itself as fiscally responsible. Alongside its environmental policies, it is economically left of Labour.
Throw in the minor parties, and the election is not just a tick for Tweedledum or Tweedledee.
There are, as well, differences in approaches between the two largest parties to Dunedin issues.
Labour has made it clear it will keep Invermay open and healthy and has plans for the Hillside workshops and the hospital, while National sells its economic governance record as benefiting everywhere.
Some idea of the limited sway of Dunedin is revealed, however, when it is realised the city's two electorates spread well past city boundaries while South Auckland alone has eight electorate seats.
Turnouts have trended downwards from 90.26% in 1960 to under 75% in 2011.
It is a moot point whether the apparent added interest, and notably the arrival of Internet Mana and its pitch to younger voters and its popular election meetings, will halt the slide this year.
When push comes to shove, when voters step up to mark their ballot papers, it might well be that the two big ''disclosures'' of this bizarre campaign have little impact.
What still makes the underlying difference for many is effect on back pockets. For many, it will come down to which policies affect me personally - and which party will best help the country, and therefore me and my family and community, prosper the most? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Ask anyone who’s flipped though the pages of Hot Rod or has a stack of Car Craft magazines in their shop who Marlan Davis is, and you’ll likely be treated to a 15-minute description of a man who was the driving force behind countless tech projects and in-depth automotive articles.
Marlan Davis joined Hot Rod magazine in the late 1970s and spent the next four decades teaching gearheads the ins-and-outs of engine and vehicle performance, making complex topics both interesting to read and easy to understand. His grasp of automotive engineering was perhaps eclipsed only by his writing talents.
Click here to see his vast (400+) collection of articles he contributed to during his time at Hot Rod and Car Craft. (In fact, Davis’ personality and expertise were so prodigious that it warranted an entire standalone story.) He touched virtually every aspect of the aftermarket performance industry, and there are no shortage of “Marlan stories” from folks in the business that affirm his passion, skill, and unique sense of humor.
Over the weekend, we heard via longtime friend and colleague David Freiburger’s social media that Marlan Davis passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If your idea of retreat involves solitary contemplation, countless walking trails await—and they’re particularly inviting in late October and early November, when the air is getting crisp, the hills are turning ochre, the grapevines are deepening into oranges and reds, and a golden mist is, on especially good days, hovering over everything.
Having spent most of the last millennium as a fortified village, Castiglioncello del Trinoro was largely abandoned in the 20th century—then reimagined three years into the 21st, when a visiting Ohioan fell hard for this hilltop beauty. “Walls were collapsed, roads washed out, roofs caved in and gardens overgrown,” says Michael Cioffi—the Cincinnati lawyer in question—of his then new love. “I became obsessed with protecting and preserving her.” So he enlisted the help of an equally besotted designer, the Rome-based Ilaria Miani, and set about creating one of the best hotels in Tuscany: Monteverdi.
Named for the composer Claudio Monteverdi—an icon of the Italian Renaissance and a favorite of Cioffi’s—the project represented a different kind of rebirth. Tucked away in the UNESCO-listed Val d’Orcia, derelict stables and farmhouses became meticulously appointed guestrooms and villas. A medieval church and its adjoining piazza became a concert and cultural event space. And the village schoolhouse became a state-of-the-art culinary academy.
The resident spa has long been part of the appeal, not least because of a water circuit that blends hillside and subterranean soaking spots of varying temperatures—and invariably stunning surroundings. But this year’s addition of a cutting-edge wellness center puts Monteverdi squarely on the retreat map. With Dr. Maurizio Cavallini as chief medical advisor and a Doctor in Residence series that will bring in specialists from across Italy, the lineup focuses on minimally invasive, science-driven treatments: biological age and oxidative stress testing, cryotherapy, laser resurfacing, radiofrequency therapy and IV therapy, to name a few.
You’ll also find new wellness packages, from the year-round, three-day Tuscan Tranquility Retreat to next month’s Holistic Detox Retreat (November 12-19). But whether or not you’re an official participant, the spirit of retreat is hard to beat here. Hence the long line of creatives who’ve done residencies at Monteverdi, like this year’s Yale Drama Series Prize finalists.
“There is a special place at Monteverdi for the arts and humanities,” explains Cioffi. “As part of our Artist and Scholars in Residence program we invite an eclectic group of leading contemporary painters, sculptors, scholars, singers and musicians to exhibit at the Monteverdi Art Gallery, to lecture and hold concerts.”
On the other hand, if your idea of retreat involves solitary contemplation, countless walking trails await—and they’re particularly inviting in late October and early November, when the air is getting crisp, the hills are turning ochre, the grapevines are deepening into oranges and reds, and a golden mist is, on especially good days, hovering over everything. Note that if you’d like to add some yoga, meditation and forest bathing into your walks, Monteverdi’s specialist can accompany you to the nearby Pietraporciana Nature Reserve, where your asanas will be set against a fiery beechwood backdrop.
Refueling between your wanderings is equally sublime this time of year, when local truffles, porcini and chestnuts abound, and Culinary Director Giancarla Bodoni dives deep into the seasonal bounty. But some would argue that the most delicious experience to be had at Monteverdi is a seat on the terrace—a latte macchiato (or hot spiced wine) in hand, and the hills of the Val d’Orcia undulating below. monteverdituscany.com | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In vesicoureteral reflux, there is some obstruction in that path which causes pressure to build up and a current of urine actually pushes backward from the bladder into the ureters and kidneys.
There are two types of vesicoureteral reflux, or VUR. Primary vesicoureteral reflux is the most common type and happens when a child is born with a defect at the ureterovesical junction, which is the spot where the ureter enters the bladder, which also acts as a valve preventing urine from pushing back from the bladder into the ureter.
Normally about two centimeters of the ureter sticks into the bladder wall, allowing urine to flow into the bladder, but as the bladder fills up and stretches, it also stretches that section of the ureter and presses it against the top of the bladder, causing the ureter to close shut.
If the tube isn’t long enough though, that small piece of the ureter doesn’t stretch very much, and it stays open even when the bladder fills with urine. In that situation, as the bladder pressure builds with more urine, it starts to go back up the ureters.
In secondary vesicoureteral reflux, there’s an obstruction at some point in the urinary tract and it causes an increase in pressure, causing urine to follow the path of least resistance which often means flowing backward into the ureters or kidneys.
Secondary vesicoureteral reflux is most commonly caused by recurrent urinary tract infections, which can cause inflammation in the ureters making them swell up and close.
Another cause that is often diagnosed in babies is called posterior urethral valve disorder, which is when an abnormal membrane develops in the posterior part of the urethra, or the part closest to the bladder, and it prevents urine from easily passing from the bladder into the urethra.
Yet another cause is a flaccid neurogenic bladder, when the bladder is unable to contract to release urine out of the body even when a person is consciously trying to release the urine. This most often results from trauma, disease, or injury to the nervous system.
Vesicoureteral reflux is a condition where the pressure in the urinary outflow tract increases and urine gets pushed back up into the ureters or kidneys. There are two types of vesicoureteral reflux: primary and secondary.
Primary vesicoureteral reflux is the most common type and happens when a child is born with a defect at the ureterovesical junction, which acts as a valve preventing urine from pushing back from the bladder into the ureter. Secondary vesicoureteral reflux is caused by an acquired condition or disease that causes a blockage in the urinary tract.
The disease often leads to urinary tract infections that can cause renal inflammation and scarring. Treatment options depend on the severity of the condition and may include antibiotics to prevent infections and surgery to correct the reflux.

How many roadside midwives do you know? Such is the unlikely description that can now be appropriately applied to NFI driver Mike Hawthorne, of Somerdale, N.J. Since I wrote about him several weeks back, the driver, who delivered the third newborn baby of his hauling career in late March, has been back at work delivering much less dramatic freight in his primary trailer/tractor relocation hauling niche with NFI and their maintenance department. The steady-as-she-goes approach Hawthorne takes to his day-to-day, though, is of a piece with the quality of a sort of bold humility I sensed in the driver during a recent interview. In my mind, it’s exactly that which facilitates the king of heroic action he’s seen so much of during his career. Following is his direct account of his latest birthing, in large part from the source himself:
It happened around 2 a.m. on westbound Interstate 30 well northeast of Dallas, where Hawthorne had pulled off on an exit ramp and was checking the chains holding down a service van he was transporting to NFI’s Waxahachie, Texas, location.
“I pulled over and, after about a minute and a half to two minutes checking my chains,” Hawthorne says, “I walked around the front of the truck to open my driver-side door and saw the father running by the backside of my trailer asking me not to go anywhere.”
His first thought: As in any such situation, he “didn’t know what to expect,” he says, “didn’t know if this would be a setup or what.”
Quickly, however, he realized it was no con or joke. “As soon as he said his wife was in labor, I said, without hesitation, ‘I’ll grab my phone,’” all the while thinking “this can’t be happening to me again.”
When he couldn’t get any phone service, Hawthorne grabbed his birthing kit. You heard right: this driver comes prepared. Hawthorne, who early on in life learned the basics of baby delivery from his mother and grandmother, both midwives, has kept such a kit on-hand at all times on the road since the first, 1999 baby he delivered outside the TravelCenters of America location in Ontario, Calif.
In the kit, you’ll find sharp, sterile scissors, rubbing alcohol and alcohol swabs, plenty of clean water, a small suction device to clean mucus from the child’s mouth to ensure easy breathing and a pair of latex gloves, as well as a clean white shoestring for tying off the umbilical cord.
Fortunately, he didn’t need the shoestring or scissors in this latest incident. Police on the other side of the highway noticed the commotion, turned around and radioed for an emergency medical unit when the situation became clear. “The baby was born before the medical units arrived,” says Hawthorne, but “I was able to hear the sirens in the background as they came. I cleaned up the child with the water I had. I wrapped it in a towel and set the baby on the mother’s belly,” leaving the umbilical cord to the professionals.
And Hawthorne was on his way. The next day, he called in to his boss to tell him about the unscheduled delivery, leaving a message that only said he had something to tell him.
Meanwhile, new father Jack Smith was a step ahead. In all the commotion, Smith had not actually managed to get Hawthorne’s name. Remembering the company insignia on his tractor, however, Dallas resident Smith found NFI’s area office and taped a note of thanks to the dispatch office door. One thing led to another, and when Hawthorne finally got his boss live on the phone, he said, “I bet I know what you need to talk to me about. Is this baby number three?”
Two-time (1999 and 2000) Truckload Carriers Association Highway Angel Hawthorne says he’s not planning on delivering a fourth, but “if I’m in the right spot, I’ll do it again. I like helping people out, and if I’m there in the time of need, I don’t hesitate. I act before I think.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Under the Vale
ARGYLE travel to Port Vale on Saturday to face a side two points below us in the Sky Bet League Two table but also a Valiant team showing recent improvements.
Vale opened their campaign with a respectable draw at Colchester United and club stalwart Tom Pope got off the mark within five minutes of the season starting. A second 1-1 draw followed at home to Northampton, with former Liverpool youngster David Amoo scoring the goal.
After a narrow defeat to Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup, Vale incredibly draw a third successive league game 1-1. Richard Bennett scored their goal at Salford but it was also the third time John Askey’s men had allowed a lead to slip.
Goals from Bennett and Amoo finally gave the Valiants their first win, as they defeated an in-form Forest Green at Vale Park but this was swiftly followed by a 5-2 humbling at Grimsby Town.
A late own goal against Cambridge ensured three games unbeaten at home in the league and Vale only lost to a late strike at second-placed Newport County last weekend. It is going to be another tough challenge for the Pilgrims but a great game to win. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
07:45 AM February 16th, 2016
WELLINGTON, New Zealand—A 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit off the coast of New Zealand Tuesday, but no tsunami warning was issued and there were no reports of damage or injuries.
The shallow quake struck at 8:28 a.m. (1928 GMT Monday), the US Geological Survey said, and was centered 219 kilometers (136 miles) northwest of the Auckland Islands, an archipelago due south of New Zealand’s South Island.
“It was quite far south of the South Island so it’s expected that there wouldn’t be too many people who felt it,” GeoNet Science seismologist John Ristau told the New Zealand Herald.
The quake struck less than a week before the fifth anniversary of a deadly 6.3-magnitude tremor in Christchurch, which killed 185 in one of New Zealand’s deadliest disasters.
On Sunday Christchurch was rattled by a 5.8 quake, which sent goods flying off shelves, but no injuries nor structural damage to buildings were reported.
New Zealand is on the boundary of the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates, which form part of the so-called “Ring of Fire”, and experiences up to 15,000 tremors a year. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Established in 1961
P.Atkins Ltd has been at the forefront of fuel injection since its inception in 1961. 60 years later, we still hold the same ethis. Continual investment in our people, equipment and business. That ethos has lead to us building one of the most advanced and professional Diesel Centres in not only the UK, but across Europe.
We believe in the complete solution, which is why we are fully authorized dealers for all major manufactures (Bosch, Delphi, Stanadyne, Denso and Continental).
P.Atkins Ltd was established by Patrick Atkins back in 1961. In the early days the company was based in Newark town centre. A bussling market town central to most Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire based customers. Over the first 25 years, Patrick built a loyal customer base with customers ranging from agricultural to miltary and everything in between. In the 80's, his son, David took the reigns and 40 years later he's still here. You'll likely meet him when you come into reception!
David continued where his father left off, developing the business alongside the ever changing landscape of the automotive industry. Today, David is one of the most knowledgble people in the industry. Simply put, if he cant fix it, it's proper broke!
We've enjoyed many great business relationships over the years and are well known in motorsport circles for research and development in diesel power systems.

Sage Valley Junior Invitational announces new dates for 2020
By PGA of America
GRANITEVILLE, S.C. – The 10th annual Sage Valley Junior Invitational (SVJI) will be held March 9-15, 2020, a shift from the event’s traditional late April dates. The move is being made to avoid potential conflicts with other tournaments and school activities to ensure the most elite 54-player field in the world.
“The Junior Invitational has established its place as the premier annual event for junior boys,” said Pete Davis, chairman of the SVJI Sports Foundation. “Our dates in April have sometimes created conflicts for players with end-of-year school events and high school golf schedules. In addition to reducing these issues, the March dates should also lend themselves to cooler weather conditions.”
Each year, 54 of the world’s best junior boy golfers descend upon the exclusive Sage Valley Golf Club to compete for the “Golden Jacket.” The 2019 event was captured by Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin.
Eligibility for the 54-hole stroke-play Junior Invitational is rigorous. Automatic qualifiers include the 2019 Junior Invitational Champion, 2019 Boys Junior Champion and furthest advancing junior in the 2019 U.S. Amateur, among others. Remaining slots are filled based upon year-to-date rankings. Click here for more information about player eligibility.
Junior Invitational alumni who have achieved success following their participation include nine-time PGA Tour winner Justin Thomas, as well as 2013, 2016 and 2017 U.S. Amateur Champions Matthew Fitzpatrick, Curtis Luck and Doc Redman, respectively. Past participants who competed in the 2019 Masters include Emiliano Grillo, Aaron Wise, Fitzpatrick and Thomas. Most recently, 2019 participant Michael Thorbjornsen played and made the cut at the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.
Sage Valley Golf Club is located only minutes from historic Augusta, Georgia, and is surrounded by several thousand acres of preserved southern pine forest. The Tom Fazio-designed course includes three practice “Dormie” holes, a learning center and practice facilities, clubhouse, spa and cottages. The Gun Club was introduced five years after Sage Valley opened, which includes world class sport shooting facilities and hunting and fishing opportunities throughout the season.
The SVJI Sports Foundation was established in 2015 and is intertwined with the Junior Invitational. Since its inception, the SVJI Sports Foundation has donated more than $1 million to The First Tee chapters in Aiken, South Carolina, and Augusta, Georgia, as well as the Press On Fund, which invests in cures for pediatric cancers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Supply Chain Issues & How To Communicate Them To Your Customers
In this blog we discuss the current supply chain shortages nationwide, caused by none other than the life changing virus in all aspects, covid19.
A supply chain, in its most basic form, refers to all of the procedures in place to see a product through its entire life cycle, from manufacturing to shipping to delivery. And if one component is delayed or disrupted, it will have an impact on the rest of the procedure.
Several factors contributed to supply chain disruptions during the pandemic.
Among the factors are:
- Inability to respond to growing demand for specific products
- Shipping companies will have fewer containers in circulation, resulting in less freight space on ships.
- Factories are closing as a result of COVID-19's effects.
- Transportation and warehousing have labour shortages, with many employees isolating at any given time.
- Travel restrictions, border closures, and limited travel options — all of these issues were particularly acute in Australia.
How can retailers respond?
For all e-commerce purchases, customers have grown to anticipate lightning-fast delivery. However, because many products are manufactured in other countries, some businesses have found themselves vying with global merchants for factory space, raw materials, and cargo ship slots.
This is where we're seeing Australian retailers get innovative in their approaches to dealing with these issues. Here is an example that has particularly stood out to us:
Coles Supermarket is now working on a new platform that will serve as a one-stop shop for Australian and international vendors. The platform will operate as the main point of contact for suppliers, using Salesforce technologies such as Marketing Cloud, Salesforce Content Management System, and Knowledge Base, effectively making it easier for them to collaborate with the supermarket. Coles will be able to better adapt to the changing needs of its supplier network as a result of this shift.
However, it's not just COVID-19 that's causing supply chain problems. Key weather catastrophes, inflation, and geopolitical crises are all major factors to delays in the larger context. Because we can expect unpredictability and delays to continue well into the future, it's critical for all firms to use real-time data and automation to react faster and keep communications on schedule.
Here are some pointers for each stage of the purchasing process.
Before transaction commences:
Before a consumer makes a purchase, you must ensure that they are aware of the possibility of shipping delays and stock shortages. You can achieve this in a variety of ways, including:
- Update the homepage of your website to reflect current shipping delays.
- For each item, include an estimate of how long it will take to arrive.
- Make any necessary changes to your FAQ and shipping pages to reflect any delays.
- Proactively communicate ordering deadlines in the run-up to seasonal shopping times like Christmas or Valentine's Day to guarantee customers that their purchases will arrive on time.
- Avoid presenting things that are out of stock if you are suffering supply shortages. If this isn't possible, recommend similar things that are currently available.
At the point of sale
- Include a warning about probable delays at the checkout (before any purchases are completed).
- For any inconvenience, offer an incentive or discount, such as free shipping to their houses or deferring payment until the package is delivered.
- You can recommend a subscription for the item, depending on the product, so they don't have to worry about it going out of stock in the future.
After the sale
It's critical to strike the correct balance when communicating. You must keep your customers updated, but you do not want to bombard them with insignificant information. This is where customer personalisation comes in to ensure that your communications are relevant, timely, and thoughtful.
- Include a shipment delay disclaimer as part of the order confirmation.
- Allow customers to verify the status of their orders using self-service tools.
- If your consumer is looking for a specific brand that is out of stock, provide them another option.
- Reward the consumer with something linked to the goods, such as a one-of-a-kind service experience or educational opportunity, if the item is delayed longer than expected.
- Make certain that no follow-up emails (such as product feedback emails) are sent while the customer is still waiting.
After the item has been received
Thank them for their patience when their order arrives. Consider giving a discount code or a gift card for future purchases if the delay was severe.
If they have questions, be present on other platforms - social media moderators can assist you in meeting customers where they are.
Consider solutions like self-service portals or chatbots that allow clients to address problems on their own.
For any sales or stock enquiries be sure to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Bengaluru: Healthium Medtech, one of the largest medical devices companies in India, today announced the launch of its latest innovation Trubarb™ – a knotless tissue closure device designed to redefine the suturing experience for surgeons. The device comes with barbs and an effective triangular end stopper that eliminates the need for knotting when compared to a regular suture and eliminates the difficulties of looping when compared to other knotless sutures. It has been designed to shorten suturing time, decrease morbidity and ischemic necrosis that arise due to knotting and simplify the overall suturing experience for surgeons.
Sutures are amongst the most used products during surgeries, however, the only significant advances on sutures have been sterilization in 1870ies and synthetic absorbable sutures in 1960ies. By eliminating the need for knotting which is considered a necessary evil in suturing as it reduces the tensile strength of the suture by thinning it, creating a weak spot and building uneven tension across the wound, and by eliminating the unmet needs of wound dehiscence, knot slippage, ischemic necrosis due to knotting and increase in blood loss and morbidity especially in Laparascopic surgeries, Trubarb is looking to redefine the wound closure experience for surgeons.
Speaking on the launch, Anish Bafna, CEO, Healthium Group, said, “As a large Indian player in a market dominated by MNCs, we are trying to innovate constantly to not only drive efficiencies, safety and simplicity for surgeons but also enhance patient safety and outcome. We hold 55 patents in India and the U.S and Trushield™, India’s 1st anti-microbial gloves, Surestitch™, the 1st meniscal repair device designed and manufactured in India, and now Trubarb™ with a Triangular end stopper for the 1st time vs a conventional loop , are all products we have launched this year to serve our customers and provide them with yet another reason to choose an Indian brand! In addition, our products are made to global standards with US FDA and C.E approvals, can be accessed in all 500 districts in India with medical facilities and are accepted in 70 countries. It gives us immense pleasure to launch Trubarb™ so that surgeons can have a secure, swift and simplified suturing experience. “
Dr Ashok Moharana, Chief Medical Officer, Healthium Medtech said “Healthium is pleased to launch Trubarb™ with the triangular end stopper for the 1st time In India .The triangular end stopper in the Trubarb unidirectional knotless tissue closure device, avoids the looping requirement as compared to other unidirectional barbed sutures with a loop, thus reducing the operation time for surgeons and easing the whole experience. The stopper also enables the device to stand perpendicular to the tissue during the surgery thus preventing the suture spillage and providing the added security. Single angle cut unidirectional helical barbs aid firm fixation and ensure uniform tension over the wound reducing tissue ischemia and necrosis as compared to regular sutures. The needle is made from 300 series steel for easy penetration and is coated with silicone and has a longer taper ratio that offers extra speed during surgery. We hope that Trubarb™ provides an elevated suturing experience for both segments of surgeons, those using ordinary sutures as well as those who use knotless sutures “
The device has multiple applications and can be used for procedures such as gynaecological, general surgery procedures, urology, oncology and plastic & cosmetic surgeries. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A note from our Executive Director
This is a difficult time for anyone who believes that government can be a force for good. Many Ohioans — including some of our own family members, neighbors, and friends — used their vote to voice their cynicism about ever reclaiming the institutions at the heart of our democracy. We reject the racism and divisiveness of the Trump campaign, and we know the policy agenda put forward by the Trump administration will exacerbate inequality, weaken the working class, and harm many of us.
So much about our future as a state and as a nation is uncertain. But one thing I know for sure: Our work together matters. Our families, friends, and communities matter. You matter.
Policy Matters Ohio’s values and mission are the same today as they’ve always been: to make Ohio a place of equity, inclusion, sustainability, and real vibrancy for all. We will counter falsehoods with facts, amplify the voices of those affected by policies of exclusion, and find our way forward, together.
Thank you for being part of the Policy Matters community. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If there is a problem with voting in Ohio, it is that too few people are doing so because of existing barriers. Creating new, unnecessary costs and suppressing votes has no place in the Buckeye State.
Pam Rosado, Outreach Coordinator
Senator Durbin and Senator Brown,
Thank you for the opportunity to testify today. My name is Pamela Rosado and I am the outreach coordinator for the non-partisan policy research institute Policy Matters Ohio. I have long served on the Greater Cleveland Voter Coalition. Today I would like to summarize new research released by our organization just last month, from a study called Ohio Photo Voter ID: A picture worth $7 million a year?, written by my colleagues Sana Haider and Amy Hanauer.
The United States was founded on the ideal of government by consent of the governed. Voting is the means by which we express and achieve that consent. Throughout US history we have expanded the right to vote – to non-propertied men, African Americans and other people of color, women, and young adults. Recently in Ohio and other states, lawmakers are going in the opposite direction, proposing new restrictions.
A bill requiring photo identification to vote, HB 159, was approved by the Ohio House of Representatives in March 2011 and a slightly different Senate version has been introduced. Legislators have passed laws requiring photo voter identification in 17 states, nine of which are strict laws like the Ohio proposal.
The version of this bill passed by the Ohio House requires all voters to have photo identification, but provides free ID cards only to qualifying low-income voters who request the card and can prove low income. The Senate version would provide free cards more broadly. It is unclear whether either version would withstand a legal challenge.
In Ohio, we estimate that approximately 938,642 Ohio adults lack photo IDs.
We have two different cost scenarios for the IDs and two different projections of how many cards would be needed. We can assume an $8.50 cost – the current cost of a state ID in Ohio. At this price, the annual cost would range between $4.85 and $6.75 million, depending on whether we provided the IDs to all eligible voters or just the percentage who voted in the last presidential election.
Alternately, we can assume a $13.00 cost, the actual cost that Indiana faced when it implemented voter ID requirements. At this price, the annual cost would range between $4.98 and $6.94 million, again depending on whether all voters are given one, or just the 67% who voted in the last presidential.
Ohio is cutting spending on many essentials. We cut $95 million from the budget, including cuts to education, police and fire protection, drug treatment, disability services, and disease prevention, under House Bill 487. The state has even cut local election board funding, making it more difficult to staff elections and forcing reductions in polling places. HB 159 would inject a new unfunded mandate in this environment.
The $6.94 million in annual costs could instead be used for other important priorities in Ohio. What other services of benefit to Ohio families could the state instead purchase for this amount?
According to the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, the courts require that state photo ID laws meet criteria currently missing from HB 159. States must provide free IDs to all those who lack them, provide free birth certificates, expand the number and hours of ID-issuing offices, and undertake substantial voter outreach to ensure voters know the requirements. These requirements figure into the costs.
More than one in ten Ohioans lacks a photo ID. The new requirements would have a disproportionate impact on elderly voters, young adults, minority voters and low-income voters, all of whom are statistically less likely to have an Ohio driver’s license. Who lacks photo IDs?
HB 159 is likely to suppress voting in Ohio. The bill purports to solve the virtually non-existent problem of voter impersonation, but will instead create new voting problems, and at a steep new cost. Ohioans value the right to vote and they value their neighbors’ participation. If there is a problem with voting in Ohio, it is that too few people are doing so because of existing barriers. Creating new, unnecessary costs and suppressing votes has no place in the Buckeye State.
Thank you again for the opportunity to testify today.

The boss of a leading economic think tank has said that the “black hole” in the UK’s public finances is equivalent to the Conservative Party’s pre-election National Insurance cuts.
Former chancellor Jeremy Hunt cut National Insurance by 2p in the last spring budget before the election, after making the exact same cut in the autumn statement last year.
The combined cuts were expected to save the average earner £900 a year.
At the time, Hunt argued that it would make the tax system fairer and help revive the economy.
In order to pay for the tax reductions, the former government insisted it was looking at further public spending cuts, to be introduced if the Conservatives had won the recent election.
***Politics.co.uk is the UK’s leading digital-only political website. Subscribe to our daily newsletter for all the latest election news and analysis.***
Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said on Monday that it was “striking” that £20 billion “black hole” is of the same scale as Hunt’s NI cuts.
Johnson told BBC Breakfast: “It is very striking that if this problem is about £20 billion big that is exactly the scale of the National Insurance cuts implemented by Jeremy Hunt just before the election.
“Now, if those cuts were implemented in the knowledge that there was this kind of hole that is not good policy to put it mildly.”
The comments precede a commons statement from Rachel Reeves on Monday, which is expected to lay the ground for cuts to public spending, tax rises and delays to some infrastructure projects in order to fill the £20 billion “hole” in the nation’s finances.
Reeves will also announce an “office of value for money”, a body that will use civil service resources to identify and recommend savings for the current financial year.
Labour’s manifesto committed not to raise taxes on working people, relying instead on economic growth to improve government funds.
Labour has ruled out increases in income tax, VAT, national insurance and corporation tax, leaving changes to capital gains tax, inheritance tax and pensions relief on the table.
Speaking on Monday, Reeves will accuse the previous Conservative government of having “covered up” the state of public finances.
The chancellor will also reveal the date of this year’s budget, amid speculation Labour is considering raising taxes in that fiscal event.
Reeves is expected to say: “It is time to level with the public and tell them the truth.
“The previous government refused to take the difficult decisions. They covered up the true state of the public finances. And then they ran away. I will never do that.
“The British people voted for change and we will deliver that change. I will restore economic stability. I will never stand by and let this happen again.”
Responding, shadow exchequer secretary to the Treasury Gareth Davies accused Labour of “trying to con the British public into accepting … tax rises”.

Our high winds, especially once you get into the Inland Empire and the desert, are full of abrasive dust particles and can pit a windshield in just a few years. When it comes to plastic windshields, the relentless glare of the Southern California sun tends to age plastics prematurely, especially cheap plastics that aren’t suited to the task.
These problems can be mitigated by using the proper materials. Polymershapes can fabricate golf cart windshields that stand up to the weather for longer, with no loss of visibility for the driver and minimal added weight compared to flimsier plastics.
Serve a Growing Market
The national golf cart market was valued at over $1 billion in 2018 and is projected to grow to over $1.5 billion by the end of the decade. Many of these sales will happen right here in California. Whether it’s to serve Southern California’s 600+ golf courses or to help get around in comfort at private communities and resorts, the market is strong.
Stand out from the competition with high-quality golf cart windshields from Polymershapes. Contact us today for a quote on your project: | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I’m been very happy that the game has been in development for 8 years & was not push out just to make the money quick. Then let it see if the games was a successful or not. I was surprised that we got some good trailers at E3 2018 & 2019. There was a surprise that no one saw coming. After the big reveal of Johnny Sliverhand (Keanu Reeves) was in the game. I just know that this is a most play game for any platform that you can play it on.
Can this game meet the hype that it was set for the past 8 years? I think it can. With the level on detail that we been seeing as of late. It will shatter all the records that games have came before hand. If you had to buy a game at lunch. This is one of them that is a most have to play.
What platform that I will be playing on? GOG & Xbox One for me as of now, but I will be getting the other platforms later on as the game gets a few things fixed down the road. I’m not going to buy every version of the game now. That would be need to do. Would I need to make a little more space on my Xbox one & PC? Yeah I can see that happening to everyone that gets the game. I’m not going to say that this game is going to be a small play though after hearing that if you are going to do every single mission. You my get around 125 hours. Yeah it’s going to be a long game.
Now the only that I have a good question for the future of this game that we all like to know? Is there going to be some DLC in the near future for the game? I don’t know. We don’t just yet. I just like to see the main game & just let the game speak for it self. I do think that we may get some expansions, but just not knowing when & how much.
I just like to see where this game goes & see if we can get some feedback on the future of the game. The one thing that I like to see is the game become a franchise in the near future & it be around for many years. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Bermuda dentist offers dental bridges
At Positive Image Dental, we understand how tooth loss can impact your self-esteem and appearance. With restorative dentistry, our team can assist Bermuda patients with restoring the smile’s function and look. One of the ways in which our team may help is with the use of dental bridges.
How does a dental bridge work?
A dental bridge is a restoration that is often made of porcelain. A porcelain bridge includes crowns on each side fused to pontics, which are fake replacement teeth. The entire restoration is a single piece and is bonded over the adjacent teeth for support. This is where the bridge gets its name: it bridges the gap between teeth. Bridges can be used on the front teeth or near the back of the smile, depending on the needs of the patient.
What can I expect from the placement of a dental bridge?
First, patients need to consult with their dentist to determine if they are a good fit for the dental bridge. Patients with teeth on each side where tooth loss occurred will be considered. Other options such as dental implants or dentures may be discussed as well. Once a patient has decided to move forward with the dental bridge, preparations begin. The dentist will remove enamel from around the adjacent teeth and take impressions which are sent for the fabrication of the final bridge. The dental bridge is made to match the patient’s existing teeth to ensure seamless integration once bonded in place. A temporary is put in while patients wait for their final restoration to arrive. The entire process can take about a week or two, depending on how long it takes for the ceramist to complete the bridge.
Schedule a visit to learn more about the benefits of dental bridges.
Drs. Ian Campbell, Christopher Allington, and Lara Loescher are available to help patients in Devonshire, Bermuda with restoring their smiles with dental bridges. Connect with our team by calling (441) 292-2312 and scheduling a consultation visit. We are conveniently located at ZBM Annex Fort Hill Road and accept new patients. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
container homes are becoming more popular as people look for sustainable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient living. These types of houses are built from repurposed metal containers, often with a wood or steel frame. While some shipping container homes are designed to blend in with their surroundings, others have a more industrial or futuristic feel.
Building a container house is a great way to add more living space to your home without the high price tag of traditional construction. However, it is important to keep in mind that shipping container homes are not for everyone. They require a lot of work and planning to make them livable, and they can be expensive. The good news is that there are many different ways to build a container home, from using them as an office or workshop to creating a small studio for a artist or photographer.
The first thing to consider when constructing a metal container house is the type of container you want to use. The best containers to build with are refurbished ones, which have had one or two trips and are in good condition. You can also purchase a new shipping container from an online retailer, but these are more expensive.
Another consideration is the type of materials used. Shipping containers are made of a variety of different materials, including steel and aluminum. While these materials are durable, they are susceptible to corrosion when exposed to water. The key to preventing rust is to limit the amount of time that the metal is exposed to moisture. In addition, it is important to use stainless-steel fasteners instead of galvanized ones.
It is also important to think about how the structure will be insulated and heated. While there are a few different ways to insulate a shipping container home, the most effective method is to wrap it in spray foam insulation. This will not only insulate the home but also help prevent mold and mildew from growing.
Once the insulation has been installed, it is time to begin putting the finishing touches on the interior of the home. This may include adding doors, windows, and electrical wiring. In some cases, it is necessary to sand down the walls of the container and paint them before putting on the final touches.
Shipping container houses are typically built much faster than other types of homes, but it is important to remember that they will still take a long time to complete. It is also important to choose the right contractor for the job. Choosing a builder with experience working on shipping container homes will ensure that your project is completed correctly and on time. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Food Sensitivity Testing
Sensitivity Testing for Foods, Food Additives, Molds, and Drugs
Current studies and research have indicated that a tremendous amount of health problems can be linked to food sensitivities. Common everyday problems like migraines, aching joints, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), eczema, acne, hyperactivity/ADHD, asthma and even obesity can have their origins in food sensitivities. In these cases, the body becomes sensitized to certain foods in the diet and creates an allergic inflammatory response when these foods enter the digestive tract. These may be foods as seemingly benign as tomatoes, corn, soy, or fish. Much like a person can be sensitive to pollen or animal dander, you can also have these types of responses in your gastrointestinal tract. When these responses occur, your body responds with an increase in inflammatory enzymes to mount a defense against a perceived threat.
The problem in this situation is that the inflammation attacks the digestive tract itself, causing various digestive issues such as bloating, gas, indigestion, nausea, or even diarrhea. Unlike pathological food allergies that cause immediate reactions (such as a peanut allergy), these reactions to food sensitivities can often be delayed for weeks as your body slowly mounts its defense. By the time you register the symptoms, you have most likely consumed more of the offending food thereby making the problem worse. But without a rapid onset, it’s hard to determine the foods that are causing the problems.
As the digestive tract inflames, it becomes porous and harmful agents such as viruses, toxins, and even food particles can enter the bloodstream and spread elsewhere. If left untreated, the symptoms that start in the digestive tract can worsen and spread to other areas of the body. This type of cascading inflammation often leads to the manifestation of symptoms in mood, energy, respiration, skin, joints, etc. Low levels of constant, sustained inflammation in the body have been shown to play a key role in developing such dire conditions as coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, and other life-threatening diseases. Many people also have sensitivities to food additives, molds in the environment, or pharmaceutical products they take every day. For these patients, the immune system of the body responds with the same inflammatory response against the body.
However, with accurate and comprehensive blood serum testing, the food allergens or other dietary and lifestyle elements your body may be fighting can be determined, isolated, and removed from your diet. Our clinic uses two different testing laboratories to assess food sensitivity for patients: Meridian Laboratories in Washington State and ALCAT Laboratory in Florida. Each of these labs offers different styles of testing options and prices, and we work with the patient to determine the appropriate test based upon case history and prior examinations. We draw blood samples in the comfort of our office and send the samples to these labs to determine the foods, food additives, pharmaco-active agents, or common molds that can be irritating your body. We incorporate our nutritional knowledge with the testing results to design an effective diet that removes these inflammatory foods from your diet for specific periods of time while replacing them with foods shown to be safe for your consumption.
By using a rotational diet such as this, your body’s inflammatory response to these substances can be diminished or even eliminated. In addition, we prescribe specific nutritional supplements to bolster your body’s intestinal function and eliminate the transmission of bacteria and/or toxins from the digestive tract into the body’s blood or tissue. For more information about these tests, please contact our office with your questions or to schedule a consultation.

Soar over Norway's legendary fjords and coastline on a 30-minute aerial flight adventure that showcases the unique beauty of Stavanger and its highlights. A short motorcoach ride brings you from the pier to the helicopter base. Meet your pilot and settle into a comfortable five-seater helicopter. After takeoff, head eastward towards Lysefjord, which carves an impressive 30 miles into a mountainous massif. Considered one of the most beautiful fjords in all of Norway, its name means light fjord allegedly because of the light-colored granite rocks along its sides, which are magical from above. Dotting the fjord, isolated farms cling to the cliff-sides. Continue to the well-known Pulpit Rock, a hug formation with a flat top rising 2,000 feet above sea level. Turning west, cross rocky landscapes dotted with lakes before heading back for views of pretty Stavanger below.

Can You Cancel a Claims-Made Policy Without Buying Tail Coverage?
Many medical professional liability companies only offer claims-made policies to behavioral healthcare providers like you. You are probably familiar with some common assumptions associated with claims-made policies:
– A claims-made policy protects you against claims for an incident if the policy is active when the “claim” is “made”. Correct!
– An incident must be within the coverage dates for claims-made coverage to apply. Correct!
– You must purchase tail coverage if the claims-made policy is cancelled. Sometimes.
Sometimes? Yes, Sometimes.
If you are currently insured with a claims-made policy from another company, you may be able to transfer your current coverage (retroactive date) to your new PRMS policy – which would mean there is no need to buy tail coverage. By transferring your retroactive date, any claims that you would have reported to the former company may now be reported to your new company. In some cases, rates for PRMS retroactive coverage (also called prior acts or nose coverage) may be lower than your current company’s tail coverage rate. A tail may be available to you at no additional charge, depending on the company, if you meet certain guidelines. For example, PRMS currently waives the tail cost in most states if you:
– Need to cancel coverage as a result of death or permanent disability, or
– Permanently retire from the practice of medicine and are at least at age 55 and have maintained a claims-made policy for at least five consecutive years preceding retirement, or
– Had 10 continuous years of claims-made coverage if you meet underwriting guidelines
You may be currently covered under a group policy. Some group policies insure many providers and, depending on the nature of the policy (e.g., you share coverage with the employer), you may leave the group and possibly not have to buy tail coverage. Or, you may have to buy tail coverage years later if the group policy is cancelled and the employer does not purchase tail for the providers. This may be very difficult to purchase from any insurer years later. It may be in your best interest to transfer your retroactive date to a new company and avoid this potential problem in the future. Yet, there are circumstances when you will still need to buy tail coverage:
– You change jobs and your new employer provides insurance for you (e.g., hospital or university) or otherwise pays your coverage; however, the new company probably will not insure the retroactive coverage.
– You do not immediately start a new policy. If you take a sabbatical or a break between jobs, you may not need new coverage right away. Offers to buy tail coverage may only last a few weeks so you may need to purchase tail coverage to avoid gaps that can negatively impact your ability to buy future coverage. Not buying tail coverage counts as a gap.
– You want to transfer from a claims-made policy to an occurrence policy. Prior acts coverage may be available on an occurrence policy but there are no guarantees. Prior acts coverage on an occurrence policy can be expensive which is why most providers I work with buy retroactive coverage on another claims-made policy.
– The new company does not offer retroactive coverage. If the new company does not insure providers from the state you moved from or there is an adverse history like claims, the new company may require you to buy tail coverage before switching.
You have choices! Even if your company says you must buy tail coverage, you may not have to do so. Contact me if you want to learn more at email@example.com or (703) 907-3894.

PHOENIX, April 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Palmcroft Church of Arizona is organizing a campaign to raise thousands of dollars to bring clean water to the poorest of the poor in Haiti and Ethiopia. On April 5, 2012, college students will gather for a 12-mile, four-hour walk to raise funds and bring awareness. The walk will begin at 4:00 pm and will go from Palmcroft Church at 15825 N. 35th Ave. to the State Fair Grounds on West McDowell Road.
During Easter services on Saturday and Sunday, Palmcroft will bring this campaign to over 4,000 people. Participants will be given the opportunity to walk a 100-yard course carrying 47 pounds of water in a five gallon jerry can. This is to experience the on average four-hour walk that most of these kids have each way to get dirty water.
On Easter Sunday morning everyone who attends Palmcroft Church will be given a bottle of "Dirty Water" and the church will encourage them to drink nothing but water for three weeks. On April 29th people will be asked to bring back the money they saved on coffee, soda and other drinks and give it towards the clean water projects.
100% of funds raised will go toward clean water projects for the poorest of the poor. $5,000 builds a well for a community of 400 that will bring clean safe drinking water for 20 years. "TOGETHER we can change the tide, TOGETHER we are a force for good," said Jeff Wolfe, pastor at Palmcroft.
"We're excited for Liquid Water to be partnering with Palmcroft this month," said Rich Birch, vice-president of LiquidWater.com, a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to building sustainable clean water solutions for communities in developing countries. "Being able to mobilize thousands of people on one side of the globe to help others on the other side not only brings a solution, but makes a statement from one community to another," said Birch.
According to the World Health Organization, unsafe water and poor sanitation kill more people than all forms of violence, including war. About 760 million people are still without access to clean drinking water today.
"For 68 years, the people of Palmcroft have taken action in our community and around the globe. I'm waiting with anticipation to see how God's love is going to impact people with the simplicity and life saving gift of clean water," added Wolfe.
In September of 1944, during the height of the second World War, Palmcroft Baptist Church was founded on the 1500 block of West McDowell in Phoenix, Arizona. With forty-four people present at that first service, Pastor Leroy Thomas communicated the vision of missions and evangelism. In 1981 Palmcroft moved to its current location on North 35th Avenue where that vision has established into a firm foundation. Currently over 3,000 people experience Palmcroft's worship services each week. Annually for the past ten years, Palmcroft has given $1 million to over 100 missionaries and relief projects. As a part of our continued global outreach, Palmcroft is providing clean drinking water to the poorest of the poor in Ethiopia and Haiti. More details are available at: http://palmcroft.com/water.
LiquidWater.com is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to bringing clean water to communities in our world's developing nations. Liquid Water exists to inspire & resource like-minded organizations to "get dirty" and help tackle the global water crisis together. As a part of its global outreach Liquid Water provides clean drinking water to the poorest of the poor with dozens of completed projects in Ethiopia, Central African Republic, Haiti and El Salvador. In the last 2 years, "Dirty Water" campaigns have brought safe, clean drinking water to over 10,000 people across rural Africa. More details are available at: http://www.LiquidWater.com.
Members of the press are invited to join the Dirty Water Walk on Thursday, 4/5 as college students walk four hours carrying water from Palmcroft to the State Fair Grounds. RSVP Jeff or Nate for arrangements:

7 coronavirus patients died, on Saturday, as a result of not being supplied oxygen in Peshawar’s Khyber Teaching Hospital. “The hospital receives oxygen cylinders from Rawalpindi,” said Khyber Teaching Hospital spokesperson. “Oxygen cylinders did not arrive on time.”, he said. The oxygen cylinders which did not arrive on time were the main factor in causing the death of 7 Covid-19 patients. The Khyber Hospital spokesperson stated that the hospital is conducting an investigation into why the oxygen cylinders did not arrive on time.
Taimur Jhagra, Provincial Health and Finance Minister, took notice of the incident and stated that he has directed the hospital’s board of governors to complete an inquiry and take action within 48 hours. “I have directed the BoG to conduct an immediate inquiry & take action within 48 hours. If found unsatisfactory, or if otherwise required, the govt will immediately order its own independent inquiry,” he tweeted.
2. All the facts of the case will be made public. A request meanwhile to not circulate unverified information on social media.
Neither this, nor any other incident will be left unused, to improve the health system; it's service; and it's system of accountability and transparency.— Taimur Khan Jhagra (@Jhagra) December 6, 2020 | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

With the news we’ve seen this week, it’s time to turn that hint into action.
IT’S TIME FOR SPEAKER MCCARTHY TO IMPEACH JOE BIDEN NOW! If you agree, then chip in today.
We don’t need to be so wishy-washy on this topic. America is tired of Biden’s criminal enterprise and we’re ready for our leaders to act!
Just look at what’s been exposed this week. Hunter’s lawyers got busted for impersonating the House GOP legal team in order to get incriminating evidence removed from his plea deal.
And to top it off, Hunter’s original plea deal would have given him blanket immunity on future indictments!
There is no doubt in my mind that Biden’s whole administration is corrupt to the core and we must demand action NOW before they completely destroy this country.
Thankfully the judge in Hunter’s case caught wind of Hunter’s blanket immunity and squashed his sweetheart deal. But this goes to show you the lengths that Biden’s DOJ is going to hide the Big Guy’s criminal activity.
We can’t afford to let our GOP leaders dilly-dally with their meaningless probes and Congressional hearings.
Help us pressure McCarthy to Impeach Biden now!
Let me repeat, IMPEACH BIDEN NOW!
Speaker McCarthy needs to stop “hinting” and start doing, but that won’t happen unless he hears you demanding that he stop delaying.
This is going to be a long and arduous process.
Evidence comes out daily and you can be assured the White House, the establishment and every yellow-bellied politician in Washington and their friends in the leftist media will be claiming it’s too early.
Like Teddy Roosevelt, we say “Bullfeathers.”
If you want to end Biden’s weaponization of our federal government that has enabled him to hide his criminal activity, then help us get him impeached now! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
One of the brightest and most cheerful gardens ever seen
Lots and lots of our colourful paints were used in this week’s Love Your Garden.
The garden for Julie in Leicester was one of the brightest and most cheerful gardens ever seen. She was thrilled with the transformation from dreary back yard into Caribbean garden.
Alan and the team made three colourful zones;
An entertaining space, a zen area and a kitchen garden.
The entertaining area had its own bar aka The Rum Shack. Painted in Royal Exterior Flamingo Pink and Teal. And wow it really packed a punch (excuse the pun!!)
The zen area used upright sleepers to act as a modern wind break/ screen. Painted in Royal Exterior French Lilac. It felt calming on the deck.
The narrow dead space next to the house was transformed into a very vibrant and colourful area. Painted in Wood Stain and Protect Primrose. The pots of herbs and veg looked stunning against the bold backdrop.
An amazing array of plants, shrubs, flowers and grasses added even more colour to the space.
Julie was thrilled with the transformation from dreary back yard into Caribbean garden. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The good news is, Environment Canada says the dense fog and low cloud the Coast is experiencing today, Dec. 4, should burn off by late morning.
The bad news is, there’s a good chance it will return this evening and visibility “may be significantly and suddenly reduced to near zero,” between Gibsons to Earls Cove.
A ridge of high pressure over southern B.C. is creating favourable conditions for dense fog, which is expected to lift by late this morning, but may linger near the water through this afternoon.
If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance. Fog advisories are issued when near zero visibilities in fog are expected or occurring.
Today’s temperature is expected to reach a high of 5-C, with a low of 3-C overnight, with periods of rain.
According to Weatherhood, the temperature will reach a high of 7-C today, with a low of 4-C overnight.

Virtual Workshop (FREE Recording) – How to Own a Campervan
Leanne and Dan are the owners of Quirky Campers New Zealand. With experience in buying ready-converted vans and converting their own vans (Ivan and Barbara) they’ve learnt the dos and don’ts, and are keen to help you avoid the pitfalls! While Quirky Campers only landed in New Zealand in October 2019, it’s been going in the UK since 2010. Collectively, Quirky Campers has helped hundreds (maybe thousands!) of people through the conversion process, worked with many professional converters and seen A LOT of converted vans!
In this FREE workshop they will walk you through the three main paths to owning a campervan; building it yourself, working with a professional converter or buying a pre-converted van. They will outline the pros and cons of each option, where and how to get started and most importantly, how to avoid the most common mistakes.

Flu Season Still to Reach Peak
If you thought we’d escape with a mild flu season, think again. As of January 31st, there have been over 25,000 influenza cases across the US. The CDC reports that we’re reaching epidemic levels for flu in some parts of the US, and doctors are saying the peak is yet to come. COPAN’s flocked swabs (FLOQSwabs™) and Universal Transport Medium (UTM™) are preferred methods of collection, transport, preservation for helping diagnose the flu.
Influenza can be troublesome to pinpoint because the symptoms vary from patient to patient and resemble other diseases. In order to determine the proper course of action, samples need to be collected and tested. Flocked Swabs are ideal as they have no internal core to trap the sample. The entire sample stays close to the surface for fast and complete elution. Once collected, the swab is placed into UTM™. UTM™ is a room temperature stable viral transport medium for collection, transport, maintenance and long term freeze storage of viruses.
With the help of UTM™ and flocked swabs, it is easy to determine if and what strain of the flu a patient may be suffering from. This year’s most prevalent flu type is type A, specifically H3N2, a variant of the infamous swine flu or H1N1, which the current flu vaccine has proven to be a good match against.

For some men, skipping the dishes or leaving the dirty laundry to their spouse may be the norm. However, a recent study published in the Journal of Family Psychology (2015) is shattering traditional housework stereotypes.
The study, out of the Department of Human Ecology at the University of Alberta, Canada, found that men who do chores have more sex.
The study states, “When male partners reported making a fair contribution to housework, the couple experienced more frequent sexual encounters, and each partner reported higher sexual satisfaction 1 year later.”
The new study opposes a study published in the American Sociological Review (2013) which concluded that “couples with more traditional housework arrangements report higher sexual frequency.” The “traditional housework arrangements” refer to women playing an almost exclusive role in doing household chores, while men refrain.
Dr. Matt Johnson, a family ecology professor at the University of Alberta found the 2013 study not as convincing as some. “It didn’t fit with my intuition and background experiences as a couple’s therapist,” Johnson said in a University of Alberta press release.
The new study, which included 1,338 couples who participated in the German Panel Analysis of Intimate Relationships and Family Dynamics, examined the link between housework and sex. The male participants were asked about the frequency of housework they did and if they thought that their contribution was fair. One year later, the couple’s sexual frequency and satisfaction were assessed.
After one year, sexual encounters and the level of sexual satisfaction increased among the participating couples who shared housework. “Rather than avoiding chores in the hopes of having more sex, as prior research would imply, men are likely to experience more frequent and satisfying passion for both partners between the sheets when they simply do their fair share,” Johnson added.
A clean house and more sex is probably at the top of many couple’s to-do lists.
In light of the recent study, it seems to be a win-win for both the men and their partners. When housework is divided — relieving one household member of the full burden of chores — the couple experiences better sex, and more of it.
The time spent beneath the sheets in any relationship is beneficial to overall harmony, whether housework is dangled like a carrot on a stick or not. Sex is one of the most underestimated exercise routines you can do, and easily enjoy. A study published in Biological Psychology (2006) discusses the role of sex in improving blood pressure and its reactivity to stress. It can be counted as moderate exercise toward a goal of 150 minutes per week as recommended by the American Heart Association. Does 150 minutes of sex per week sound that horrible?
Other benefits of sex include immune system health, stress relief, pain relief, heart health, reduced risk of prostate cancer, and improved sleep. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Only a few plants can match the beauty of the deciduous peony. The giant blooms can sometimes be as large as dinner plates. Growing peonies is a great experience and also brings beautiful colours to your ornamental garden. This post will give you all the necessary tips and tricks on growing peonies in the UK.
Popular Types of Peonies in the UK
The three types of Peonies are the following:
- Herbaceous types – dies back to ground level every winter
- Tree Peonies – taller and woodier shrubs, they keep their frame overwinter
- Intersectional Hybrids – a cross between the two mentioned types
How to Grow Peonies in the UK
Peonies need well-drained, moist soil that is in full sunlight. Support should be there for large flowering varieties. You can divide herbaceous peonies in autumn. Tree peonies, however, are more easily propagated through layering.
Best Place for Growing Peonies
Peonies should be planted in rich, well-drained soil that is in full sun. Avoid planting them in waterlogged soil. Most herbaceous peonies prefer neutral to slightly alkaline soils. Tree peonies prefer a protected position, and are more sensitive to acid soils.
Bare-root peonies should be planted as soon after they arrive, they are best planted in spring or autumn. You should not plant them too deep as this can lead to poor results. Before planting, mix in lots of well-rotted organic material. In spring, apply a balanced fertilizer. Overwatering peonies that have just been planted is a common cause for plant failure. Peony flowers are heavy so you will need to support them.
Taking Care of Peony Flowers
In autumn, herbaceous peonies should always be cut to ground level. Tree peonies don’t need to be pruned, instead, simply remove the seed heads that have become brittle in autumn. Do not try to pull off the autumn foliage and let it fall naturally. Do not prune tree peonies too hard as they can be grafted onto herbaceous plants.
Make sure you avoid stepping on newly formed buds when weeding borders.
Propagating After Growing Peonies in the UK
Once you have followed the steps of growing peonies it is time to propagate them. Divide your autumn-blooming herbaceous peonies to make them more productive. Using a garden fork, remove the damaged foliage and lift the plant. Take out as much garden soil as you can and use a knife to cut sections of the crown. Each section should contain at least three buds, and plenty of roots. Replant immediately in the garden.
Do not attempt to divide tree peonies. You might be able to layer a flexible stem or sow seed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Here at Reclaim, we are invested in bringing the Denver Boulder Golden Metro the best of what we are able to accomplish in modern dentistry today.
Using the best technology and the most innovative, advanced and continuing evolving experts in digitally dentistry, 3D guided and printed materials, we are able to offer some of the most complex yet streamlined treatments creating the optimal outcome with minimal discomfort and disruption to an individual’s life. The reality is that these treatments are completely transformative in the best way.
In implant dentistry, Dr. Kevin Schwandt utilizing a custom surgical guide, 3D planned and printed to ensure accurate implant placements in preparation for 3D milled highly durable and esthetic acrylic to deliver a totally new smile day of surgery. It’s the preference to place the complete full arch bridge upper and lower same day as we rebuild the bone and soft tissue to fit cohesively, ensure the most ideal health and cosmetic outcome. The final zirconia bridges are also 3D milled using the highest quality dental ceramic and porcelain layering if desired. With this technology and our exceptionally talented, state-of-the-art dental laboratories and technicians, often specialists and doctors themselves, we create some of the most impressive prosthetic and restorative outcomes.
One of the most incredible achievements in digitally dentistry is the opportunity to marry the CBCT 3D x-ray with the 3D intraoral scan. The married image superimposes the teeth and soft tissue over the skull, allowing the opportunity to preplan all orthodontic and surgical interventions, fabricate guides, clear aligner trays, attachments, implant parts, prosthetics, on and on.
Utilizing these methods and the talented technicians who use them, we create a workflow and process that is surprisingly smooth and extremely effective, offering the most optimal result available today.
We routinely utilizing the same technology in general restorative and preventative dentistry. It offers us the best opportunity to investigate and diagnose many tooth issues like root fractures, cavitations/unhealed or diseased bone, screen for airway issues, catching pathology like tumor formation early. We also routinely communicate and collaborate digitally with many specialists and experts, for case review, case planning, referrals, medical clearances, lab scripts and prosthetic or airway device planning, etc.
The possibilities are almost endless. Eventually Dr. Schwandt would like to purchase the laser with a widespread of surgical, general and therapeutic potential. More to come, but it’s our insistence on truly exceptional dentistry that drives Dr. Kevin to push the possibilities further and further. At Reclaim Integrative Dentistry & Implant Center, you will always get the best of what the future of dentistry and interdisciplinary care has to offer.

You have many coverage options with your Louisiana auto policy. Each coverage is priced separately and each are optional and must be requested by you.
This coverage applies to injuries and damages that you or family members listed on the policy cause to someone else. You and family members listed on the policy are also covered when driving someone else’s car with their permission. - It’s very important to have enough liability insurance, because if you are involved in a serious accident, you may be sued for a large sum of money. Definitely consider buying more than the state-required minimum to protect assets such as your home and savings.
- Medical Payments
This coverage pays for the treatment of injuries to the driver and passengers of the policyholder’s car. At its broadest, PIP can cover medical payments, lost wages and the cost of replacing services normally performed by someone injured in an auto accident. It may also cover funeral costs. - Collision
This coverage pays for damage to your car resulting from a collision with another car, object or as a result of flipping over. It also covers damage caused by potholes. Collision coverage is generally sold with a deductible of $250 to $2,5000—the higher your deductible, the lower your premium. Even if you are at fault for the accident, your collision coverage will reimburse you for the costs of repairing your car, minus the deductible. If you’re not at fault, your insurance company may try to recover the amount they paid you from the other driver’s insurance company. If they are successful, you’ll also be reimbursed for the deductible. - Comprehensive
This coverage reimburses you for loss due to theft or damage caused by something other than a collision with another car or object, such as fire, falling objects, missiles, explosion, earthquake, windstorm, hail, flood, vandalism, riot, or contact with animals such as birds or deer.Comprehensive insurance is usually sold with a $100 to $500 deductible, though you may want to opt for a higher deductible as a way of lowering your premium.Comprehensive insurance will also reimburse you if your windshield is cracked or shattered. Some companies offer glass coverage without a deductible for windshield repairs but not replacements.States do not require that you purchase collision or comprehensive coverage, but if you have a car loan, your lender may insist you carry it until your loan is paid off.
- Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage
This coverage will reimburse you, a member of your family, or a designated driver if one of you is hit by an uninsured or hit-and-run driver.Underinsured motorist coverage comes into play when an at-fault driver has insufficient insurance to pay for your total loss. This coverage will also protect you if you are hit as a pedestrian. - Other optional coverages can be purchased for an additional premium. They include but are not limited to: towing and labor, rental reimbursement, additional installed equipment coverage, and GAP coverage.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage is a part of the policy that provides medical expenses for you, a member of your family, or a designated driver if one of you is hit by an uninsured or hit-and-run driver.

“I graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 2007 with a degree in Contemporary Fine Art. I began my career painting mainly architectural subject matter. From derelict factories to icon buildings. In 2013 I became interested in portraiture and this has consumed my practise ever since. The one thing that hasn't changed is my recognisable style and bold use of colour. I have always had a passion for colours even before I was ever interested in art. Whether it was clothing, toys, cartoons or animals I was always attracted to their colours. However I do not simple overload a painting with every bright colour available. The palette and juxtaposition for each painting is carefully thought out, changed and considered during the creation.
“I work mainly with acrylic due to it's versatility as a medium and the amount of different hues available, including fluorescents. I combine this with the subtle use of spray paint, which again is very versatile. It can be used for blending, stencils, flat areas and thick line work. Marker pens, oils, graffiti inks and oil sticks are also used widely in my practise. This range of mediums helps me build up layers of strong harmonic colours and contrasting elements within my work. I now feel I have a strong style which is often recognised as a 'Tim Fowler'. Whatever the subject matter my use of colour gives my paintings a surreal and unique quality”.
“Since my move into portraiture I have been focusing on black and white movie stars as my subjects. This era was before my time and I have not seen any of these stars in action, nor do I wish too. I am drawn to them because of their head shots and stills from their films. There is something very powerful about the way present themselves in front of the camera, combined with old high contrast photography. Especially with the female actors. Also I love the contrast created between the vintage fashion and haircuts and my bold, modern approach to painting. Recently I have started painting some more contemporary subjects and I pick these based on either their careers, their facial structure or simply if I like them or the character the play. Even though I paint a lot of famous or iconic figures my work is than more than just about that person. You can view and enjoy a painting without knowing or caring who the subject is. I try to create something deeper than a literal representation”. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Slavery has existed in Africa for as long as recorded history. Ancient Egypt had slaves toiling away in its fields and on its monuments, ancient Carthage trafficked in slaves across the Mediterranean, and the Ethiopian kings of Aksum wrote proudly of the slaves they took in war. Slaves were also exported from Africa for centuries before Europeans arrived. The Trans-Saharan slave trade lasted for over a thousand years and dragged about 10 million people across the desert to be slaves in the Islamic world. The Indian Ocean also had a similarly long-lasting ocean-going slave trade with about 5 million ending up in slave ships, bound and branded for use in foreign lands. These slaves ended up as labourers, domestic servants, soldiers, or more. Male slaves in the Islamic world were typically castrated which meant that new slaves had to be regularly imported to maintain the population.
For this video, we’ll focus on Western Africa where the Atlantic slave trade was centred. West Africa was removed from the Indian Ocean trade and mostly secure from Islamic slave raids, but slavery was still a feature of life there long before the Atlantic slave trade began. A succession of powerful empires occupied the region which all rested on complex slave systems. The Ghanaian Empire from the 3rd to the 13th century began a tradition of powerful West African imperial states and built much of its wealth through trans-Saharan trading of slaves or goods acquired through slave labour.
The Salt, copper, and gold that made the Mali Empire and Mansa Musa fabulously wealthy were all extracted with slave labour. Domestic slavery was also common and Mali was known to import female slaves from the Mediterranean to act as domestic servants in the households of the elites. Most of the slaves were acquired through conquest of neighbouring kingdoms or tribal groups who were too weak to defend themselves from the organised imperial militaries. Successor empires like the Songhai, Jolof, and Kaabu inherited the social and economic structures of slavery and continued to acquire slaves as they scrambled to establish their own territories. Elites in these empires used slaves as a status symbol and ownership of slaves came to represent someone’s wealth and power. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

RevWomen — Revolut’s female empowering guild
People · 8 March 2023Karolina Gruszczyk
At the beginning of the year, you were announced the chair of the RevWomen Guild at Revolut. How have the first weeks in this new role been going?
Starting 2023 with a new opportunity and role in Revolut was really exhilarating and also challenging. Although I have expertise managing initiatives of a similar nature, and have volunteered with RevWomen for almost a year, I was aware that the expectations were higher this time. I was stressed about whether I was up to the challenges.
RevWomen is one of our inclusive guilds and brings together over 900 members from all around the world. So many diverse experiences, a variety of expectations! I thought that creating initiatives that would be impactful and enjoyable for such a diverse group of people would be quite demanding, but it turned out to be smooth through sharing a common goal. Revolut gave me the chance to connect with incredible, encouraging people and to support women in business from many different countries.
I can easily say now, that is going great, and I couldn't imagine a better place to be in 2023.
What is the mission of RevWomen Guild? Who can be a member of it?
Promote diversity, equality, and female empowerment. Each woman provides unique insights to the corporate world and management, since she has different sets of life and work experiences.
Additionally, her skills are unique, resulting in different viewpoints, preferences, and approaches. RevWomen encourages women to reach their greatest potential by exploring, learning, exchanging, and concentrating on their own growth, with the opportunities Revolut is giving to them.
Everyone is invited to join RevWomen, participate in our activities, or even assist us in their creation. There are no prerequisites for membership. I am really glad to see us expanding!
March has just started, which means that Women's Day is approaching! How are we going to celebrate it at Revolut?
Women's Day will be celebrated at Revolut throughout the entire month. We have a set of lectures that address business and personal growth. We’ll discuss personal branding, work-life balance, development, and self-assurance. There will be a special program focused on maximising individual potential. There are more events, but I want to keep them a surprise for RevWomen in the coming weeks.
Actually, the main initiative will take place within the Revolut app. We partnered with leading nonprofits that are assisting and supporting other women all around the world. We are starting a fundraising drive over the next month that’ll give every Revolut user the chance to donate money to a certain charity. The organisations will get a complete donation of all funds raised. We are extremely pleased to assist and support any organisations working to improve the world.
How do you manage to balance your work as KYC Support Team Leader and leading the Women’s Month?
My sense of work-life balance is determined by the fulfilment I get from taking on difficult initiatives, and by working in a supportive environment with like-minded colleagues. This is how I feel at Revolut. Team Leader, and Chair of RevWomen Guild, both fit aspects of my personality. I can fulfil myself in various business areas where I know I am good.
Working together, in my opinion, is founded on trust and the ability to freely communicate one's ideas and thoughts. Everything is predicated on effective communication, which is essential for grasping one another, and our goals. And I put this into practice every day. My team can always count on me and my support. We talk, listen, we set our goals, and we consider improvements. We brainstorm together.
What do you wish for all the women out there for Women's Day?
To celebrate Women’s Day every day. To appreciate ourselves, to be proud of our own achievements, and feel great in our own skin. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Everything about the feel of your character in this is note-perfect. It is a brawl of reflexes, yes, but also of observation, focus and control. Measured movements almost always triumph over panicked ones. A careful strike can even reflect an otherwise lethal bullet. On top of that it is damn stylish – the granulated pixel art, the breathlike swish of your sword, the way it freezes, just for half a second, as someone lands the killing blow. You can’t see it now but I am doing a chef kiss. Mwah. Open a second bottle of Fanta, Thaddeus! This party is just getting started. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Hi I’m Ron.
I offer over fifteen years of diverse experience in the technology field working specifically on the Mac platform. My primary focus is on using MDM solutions such as JAMF and Workspace One to provide reliable, consistent, secure Mac systems to my clients.
Currently, I am a consultant with the New York City Office of Innovation & Technology: Apple Support Operations. A few of the projects I manage are the migration of their MDM from Jamf to Workspace One and a collaboration with the NYC Cyber team to roll out our Crowdstrike and McAfee updates. My main duties are creating zero-touch solutions with Workspace One for macOS upgrades, and application updates and providing desktop support for the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, Cyber Security Team, Office of Technology and Innovation, and City Hall.
For over ten years as senior systems administrator/director of technology, I have provided user support and managed the design studio for students, faculty, and staff at the School of Visual Arts. My daily tasks included troubleshooting and client issue resolution, maintaining workstations and A/V equipment, software deployment with Jamf and server management on Mac OS, iOS, and Windows Fiery servers. I managed SaaS accounts like Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Cloud, and websites on WordPress, maintaining our email marketing database, and social media outreach. Additionally, I taught many workshops in the fields of video production, editing, web design, and 3D printing.
As Help Desk Manager at OWN Charter School, I managed the help desk team and created tech policies for over 500 users including students, staff, and faculty. Additionally, my tasks include training technicians on our in-class and boardroom AV equipment, deploying software with JAMF to our fleet of laptops and mobile devices, and solving network and printer connectivity issues. I was responsible for keeping the website running and updated with content. In addition to my problem-solving and user care, I took the lead in on-boarding and off-boarding employees leveraging Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Jamf, and Apple School Manager.
My ideal role would be working with a team that takes pride in what they do and always tries to find a way to improve a process.

A Vanir Sorceress focused heavily on deeper mysteries of magick, as well as on discovering hidden things. She studies all forms of magick, and has an inventive mind, naturally thinking in more dimensions than most. Her ability to think in multiple dimensions makes her skills incredibly effective at creating new forms of magick, especially ones that circumvent conventional methods. For example, in helping with the planting of a field she saturated the soil not just within the dimension of concern, but also adjacent dimensions, removing obstacles that were preventing growth the farmers couldn't see or detect in tangential dimensions. This also makes her shields, attacks, and defenses exponentially more powerful, but she does not make that her core focus. Her focus is magick in all its forms, and she considers it a beautiful tapestry of expression as well as power to be mastered.
With long black hair, ruby red lips, she tends to have a casual smile and intense gaze. She will often wear all red dresses, and has a depth of wisdom and understanding to her. While focused on her arts and skills, she is also social, easy to get along with, and incredibly loyal. Her helpful nature means she will often help with problems in life without being asked, but she respects requirements and restrictions of interaction.

Do you have leaders who regularly help out across all your events? Or need to setup leaders for specific shifts? Rosterfy has you covered.
Rosterfy has four different types of Leaders:- Event Leader
A leader that is assigned to be leader of an event. This means they have access to check-in/out users across any shift on the event. - Shift Leader
A user that is assigned as a leader for a shift. This means they have access to check-in/out users only within the shift they have been assigned. They must also be rostered onto this shift - Team Leader
A user that is marked in the admin console as a team leader can apply from their portal to be a 'Shift Leader' without any admin assignment. This means they self select when they are shift leader and when they are a regular user. - Group Leader
A group leader is able to view group member information and also to schedule them on shifts. A group leader can only be created by an admin user from within the group member list.
Advanced Options for Leaders
Activating Global Check-In
This setting will allow a quick option in the portal menu for leaders to scan or search for people they are leading on a given day (from 12 hrs prior, up until 12hr in the future).
Leaders will be able to access a QR code scanner (or search bar) in their portal to scan users and check them in
To enable this, go to Organisation Settings > Events > Allow team leader check in any users
The user will also require 'Can Apply to Shifts as a Leader' ticked.
Allow leaders to update timesheets (edit the check-in / out times)
This will allow leaders to edit the check-in and out times of users they are responsible for.
Go to Organisation Settings > Events > Allow team leader to update timesheet after shift finishes
When enabled, TL’s will be able to amend the check-in/out times of users they are responsible for, for the designated time after the shift finishes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the 1970s, the lively neighbourhood around Brussels-North Station was destroyed to make room for ‘Little Manhattan’, a modernist dream with the two World Trade Centre towers as its crown jewels. The project failed, leaving the towers and surrounding area largely abandoned. Since late 2017, the owner of the towers has shown a renewed interest in the area.
Closely witnessing the changes from their studio space on the 25th floor of WTC tower 1, Lietje Bauwens and Wouter De Raeve decided to enter the debate by making a film with the actors that claim a voice in the transition: politicians, an activist, the private owner, designers and others.
Taking the WTC towers as its object, the film project unravels power relations between the different actors involved in the urban redevelopment, and traces the influx of new progressive, ecological and horizontalist ideas and their impact on the area.
WTC: A Love Story uses fiction as a method to explore what stories enter the stage when the process of political representation is accelerated. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
