5 Black country artists you should know
Mickey Guyton, Rhiannon Giddens and more make our list.
Black musicians’ contributions to country music are at the forefront of everyone’s minds following the release of Beyoncé’s latest country project, “Act II.” Like much of American culture, it has become clear now more than ever that country music is Black music, with its musical structure, signature instruments and more firmly rooted in Black American history. As the conversation surrounding our reclamation of country music continues, we’re giving you five Black country artists to add to your playlists alongside “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.”
Our first recommendation is Grammy-winning artist Rhiannon Giddens, who for over a decade has made a mark in the country and roots music genres. Starting off in the string band the Carolina Chocolate Drops, she was the lead singer, banjo and fiddle player in the band, before beginning her solo career that now includes 5 studio albums, 10 Grammy nominations and 2 wins. Giddens herself appears on the No. 1 song in the country, playing fiddle and viola on Queen Bey’s, “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
Mickey Guyton is yet another trailblazing Black artist in the country music genre. In 2020, as theGrio previously reported, Guyton became the first Black solo female artist to be nominated for a Grammy in a country music category, nearly a decade into her career as a country music singer. Her song “Black Like Me” saw her explicitly speak out about her own experience as a Black woman not only in country music but in the United States of America, all amid the racial reckoning of 2020 following the senseless death of George Floyd. Since then, she released her official debut album in 2021, “Remember Her Name,” to positive reviews.
Also on our radar is Tanner Adell, a country artist who is currently going viral online since the release of Beyoncé’s country songs. Adell shouts out the “Break My Soul” singer in her song “Buckle Bunny.” Lip-syncing to “Buckle Bunny” in TikToks and Instagram reels, she says on the 2023 track, “Lookin’ like Beyoncé with a Lasso,” nearly a year before Bey dropped her own country songs.
Check out the viral hit below:
Grammy Award-winning blues artist Cedric Burnside is gearing up for his latest release, “Hill Country Love,” this April. Set to explore the genre of hill country blues, the album is described as, “infused with Burnside’s singular experiences and musical heritage from the rolling hills of Northern Mississippi.” Burnside’s lead single, also titled “Hill Country Love,” gives listeners a taste of what is to come on his highly anticipated new album. Described as a “torchbearer” for the next generation of hill country blues, Burnside won for best traditional blues album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in 2022 or “I Be Trying.”
Our last pick is Willie Jones, another artist going viral in the latest surge of interest in Black country music. Bringing country music to the clubs, Jones’ signature sound fuses country melodies and lyrics with trap-inspired beats. His album “Something to Dance To,” as the title suggests, brings listeners to the dance floor. Most recently, he took to Apple Music for a “Nashville Session,” where he covered hits like Usher’s “OMG” and Josh Turner’s country classic, “Your Man.”

Navigating the Top 3 Challenges: Insights for Construction CEOs
Construction CEOs have got it tough. They have a challenging role. Smaller construction companies are going out of business every other day.
Their clients are impacted.
In the ever-evolving landscape of construction, CEOs are at the forefront of steering their companies through both triumphs and tribulations. Today, let’s delve into the three biggest challenges currently faced by construction CEOs and explore strategies to conquer them.
1. Tackling the Talent Dilemma: The Skilled Labour Shortage
The backbone of any successful construction project is the skilled workforce that brings projects to life. However, the industry’s ongoing battle with a shortage of skilled labour continues to make headlines. As CEOs, addressing this challenge requires proactive talent management.
Consider cultivating relationships with technical schools (one of our clients has done this recently), apprenticeship programs, and even exploring partnerships with community organisations. Offering training, upskilling opportunities, and competitive remuneration packages can attract and retain the talent your projects demand.
2. Budgets, Bottom Lines, and Beyond: The Cost Control Conundrum
Construction projects are notorious for their budget complexities, often stemming from unexpected hurdles like design alterations, material price fluctuations, and regulatory shifts.
CEOs must master the art of cost control to ensure projects stay within budget while maintaining the highest quality. Embrace data-driven decision-making by harnessing construction management software and predictive analytics, even AI, where possible. Regular project evaluations can help spot potential overruns early, allowing you to take corrective action swiftly.
3. Constructing a Tech-Forward Future: Technology Adoption and Innovation
The construction industry, traditionally is resistant to rapid technological change, is undergoing a digital revolution. CEOs who embrace this change stand to gain a competitive edge. Investing in technologies such as Construction Information Modelling, project management software, and IoT devices can streamline operations, enhance collaboration, and improve project visibility. Cultivate a culture of innovation within your organization, encouraging teams to explore and implement tech solutions that align with your strategic goals.
In conclusion, the challenges that construction CEOs face are multifaceted, but they are not insurmountable. By tackling the skilled labour shortage head-on, mastering cost control strategies, and embracing technology as an enabler, CEOs can navigate the road ahead with confidence.

However, most of the top online casinos share some core values that include upholding licensing conditions, investing in responsible gaming initiatives and maintaining high security standards.
A good casino online will offer a range of different ways to deposit and withdraw funds, including debit and credit cards. Some of them will also allow you to use cryptocurrencies, which are a great option for players who want to avoid the fees that can be associated with some payment methods. You should also consider whether the casino offers a mobile app or browser-based version of its site, as this can make it easier to play on the go.

Some of the best casino online websites will offer a live chat option, which is useful for those who have questions about the games they’re playing or need help with their account. In most cases, a live chat representative will be able to answer your question instantly.

The Rajya Sabha cleared the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill on Wednesday, with 125 voting for it and 105 against. The bill was passed in upper house, two days after its passage in the Lok Sabha.
The Lok Sabha had cleared the bill on Monday with 334 MPs supporting the bill and 106 against it.
The controversial bill has been opposed by activists and intellectuals for being discriminatory of Muslim migrants. The opposition said that the bill violates Article 14 of the Constitution.
The contentious bill seeks to provide citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, and Parsi refugees fleeing religious persecution from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
After the bill was cleared in Rajya Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter to congratulated all the MPs who voted in favor of the bill. He called the day as “Landmark day for India”.
A landmark day for India and our nation’s ethos of compassion and brotherhood!
This Bill will alleviate the suffering of many who faced persecution for years.
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) December 11, 2019
Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi in a statement described it as a “dark day” in the constitutional history of the country and said passage of the Bill marks the victory of “narrow minded and bigoted forces” over India’s pluralism.

Day 4 of Great Lent
As we continue to read the Book of Proverbs this Great Lent, we are listening carefully to what “Wisdom” has to say. When Wisdom speaks…Christ speaks. When Wisdom is mentioned, it is referring to Jesus. What happens when we replace the word “Wisdom” with the Name of Jesus?
“Happy is the man who finds Jesus, and the man who gains Jesus, for the gain from Jesus is better than gain from silver and Jesus’ profit better than gold. Jesus is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with Jesus. Long life is in Jesus’ right hand; in Jesus’ left hand are riches and honor. Jesus’ ways are ways of pleasantness, and all Jesus’ paths are peace. Jesus is a tree of life to those who lay hold of Jesus; those who hold Jesus fast are called happy” (Proverbs 3:13-18).
Wow, such a rich passage! Look at the power in the Name of Jesus! “At the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10-11).
There is so much to glean from each sentence in the passage of Proverbs. Toward the end of it the “Tree of Life” is referenced. This is a reference to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. We are told in Genesis 3:22, that whoever eats the fruit of that tree will have eternal life. The Tree of Life is a prefiguration of the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The “fruit” on the Cross is Jesus Himself. We are invited by the Lord to eat the fruit of the Tree of Life! Consider these words of Jesus:
“Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him” (John 6:53-56).
“Wisdom” – Let us be attentive!

‘Broadway Ramlila’ will bring out the saga of Ramayana with perfect modern technological ingredients in terms of music, sound, choreography, lighting, stage design and costumes at a breathtaking pace.
Scheduled between October 18 – 23 at Netaji Subhash Place in Pitam Pura, it will weave the entire story of Ramayana from Lord Ram’s birth to his eventful coronation, into a capsule of 3 hours.
The event is presented by Aryan Heritage Foundation.
Presenting a realm of Satyug, brought to life through cutting-edge 3D stage design and a musical score featuring 18 original tracks performed by acclaimed artists such as Udit Narayan, Kailash Kher, Kumar Vishu, Jeetender Singh, and more.
Under the guidance of music directors Chandra Kamal & Bharat Kamal and directed by Shashidharan Nair, this show offers a captivating narrative voiced by the legendary Mukesh Khanna.
With a cast of over 100 skilled actors and dancers, Broadway Ramlila is a sensory extravaganza. It stands as a testament to the global appeal of Lord Ram’s timeless saga.
Like every year, this year too many changes have been made in Broadway Ramlila. This time only the incidents written by Valmiki and Tulsidas will be shown. Like New York’s Broadway shows, this production will use the latest technology, and feature new graphic designs. This time new actors have been selected for Ram, Sita, Laksman, Bharat, Valmiki, Vishwamitra so that these characters can be shown from a different dimension.
Rajendra Mittal, creator of Broadway Ramlila says, “That very simple language has been used in this Ramlila so that even a four-yearold child can understand it easily. The stage and rural design of this production is so grand that the audience feels as if they are in Treta Yug themselves. Broadway Ramlila has 18 original songs, sung by stalwarts like Udit Narayan and Kailash Kher, which will leave the audience enthralled. Professional costume designers have designed such costumes as if Rama’s characters themselves have come alive. Acting is as if the characters of Rama himself are playing out before our eyes. More than 100 experienced artists of Mandi House present their talent in this production.”

There is also a nice little Picture Frame Clock plan included with this scanning. Only the two clocks are included in this scanning, not the entire magazine.

I have a blog tour review for you! Brace yourselves, as I don't normally write reviews for blog tours if I can help it. Mainly because I'm always worry about what would happen if I said yes, then I read the book and go "Oh no, I don't like this. Now what?"
But with this, I knew I had to make an exception as when the Write Reads emailed and I read the synopsis for this, I got very excited. A book that tackles queerness, mental health and it's going to be beautiful and yet, utterly heartbreaking. SIGN ME UP!
Title and Author: If Tomorrow Doesn't Come by Jen St. Jude
Publisher: Penguin Random House Children
Bought, Borrowed or Gifted: Gifted by UK publisher and PR Blog Tour Company, The Write Reads, in exchange for an honest review/reaction for blog tour.

On the morning that Avery Byrne plans to kill herself, the world discovers that an asteroid is heading to Earth and there is only nine days left to live.
With time running out, Avery rushes to get home to be with her family and the girl she's been in love with her whole life. But can Avery try and save her family, the girl she loves and, maybe, even herself...
Before I go any further, I want to say that this book does have triggers. This book does contain discussion on suicide, mental health and homophobia (awareness of and conversations of it). Also, our main character, Avery, has undiagnosed clinical depression. If you are affected by these, just be aware and please look after yourself while reading.
I think this will be one of my Fave Books of 2023 because it's one of those books. One that worms its way into your brain and you think about it. It lingers and I can't help but think that this book will be essential to young people who are struggling or who are worried about their mental health. This will be a lifeline.
And the representation! THE REP, PEOPLE! We have gender, race, religion, sexuality, mental health and it all felt natural. None of it felt like the author was ticking off a list. It felt effortless and it was glorious!
I do admit that maybe the astroid storyline wasn't as fleshed out as I thought it would, but it's more a background threat. This book is about Avery and looking into her past to see the events followed that ;had her to the start of the book and then her and the people around her trying to cope with something so out of their control that everyone look inwards at themselves and begin to think...
Now, I have never read They Both Die At The End or All That's Left In The World (people keep compare this book to these two) but I know that these are tearjerkers. So, if you cried while reading these and you want to read this, stock up on tissues. Then you will throw the book across the room as IT CAN'T END THERE! (I'm not a crier while reading books, but I did turn the pages going "No. No. No, Jen, you can't end this here! I need a few more pages. Just a page more! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE!")
I fear I will be pushing this book into so many people's hands over the next few months. Yeah, If Tomorrow Doesn't Come is that good!

Health, Environment, and AnThropology 1 (HEAT1)
As the world is getting fuller, faster, hotter, and sicker, HEAT1 asks how can anthropologists contribute to unfolding debates around health and environment on a changing and unequal planet? In what ways can medical and environmental anthropology work together and with other disciplines, communities, and stakeholders to help support the development of knowledge and resources for responding to environmental destruction and global heating?
As environmental and climate transform societies and ecologies around the world, it is imperative that anthropologists continue to seek new ways of thinking and speaking among themselves and with others about the relationships among humans, other-than-humans, the environment, and the planet. By examining the intricate web of interdependencies between societies, ecosystems, and environmental processes, anthropologists have an important role to play in understanding and addressing the complex challenges faced by our planet.
Panel proposals are invited in the following and related areas:
- Changing patterns and profiles of health, illness, and disease in response to environmental and climate change
- Changing human and more-than-human entanglements in relation to environmental and climate change
- Social movements and new forms of sociality arising from concerns about planetary health
- Environmental justice, inequality, and marginalized communities
- Demographic anxieties and the effects of migration, displacement, and armed conflict in the context of changing environments
- Impacts of climate change on reproductive health and rights
- Diverse ecological knowledges and indigenous perspectives on planetary health
- Sustainable food systems, agriculture, and nutrition
- Urbanization, globalization, and the transformation of human-environment relationships
- Health impacts of extractive industries and resource exploitation
- Ethical and/or methodological considerations in planetary health research and interventions
- Policy interventions and governance for planetary health
- Technological and design innovations for improving planetary health and dealing with the health impacts of environmental destruction and global heating
- Mental health and wellbeing in the context of climate change
- Interdisciplinary connections, including engagement with the Overlaps and contention between the frameworks of Planetary Health, Global Health, and One Health.
Panel proposals should include a title and 250 word abstract. The deadline is 30 September 2024. A Call for Papers will then follow.

MIT’s UN Climate Change Conference delegation reflects on proposed resolutions
Story: The MIT delegation “shared what they know about climate science impacts and solutions.”
The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) took place from Nov. 30 to Dec. 13 last year in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The Institute sent its own delegation to discuss the conference’s resolutions, a tradition since the early 2000s. Some of COP28’s key points included tripling global renewable energy capacity, phasing out coal production, and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The MIT delegation consisted of several faculty members, staff, and students, and they held a meeting to reflect on what they learned from COP28 on Jan. 17.
The delegation was interested in transition finance and incentivizing institutions to fund renewable energy methods and regenerative agriculture. Other topics discussed included biodiversity, environmental justice, and sustainability technology.
Nevertheless, the delegation said that exchanging ideas at COP28 was the most fruitful.
“I think some of the value added is that all of us can provide, for each other and for others in the MIT community, what we saw first hand and how we experienced it,” Evan Lieberman, Director of the Center of International Studies (CIS) Director and Political Science professor, said.
Drew Story, Managing Director of the CIS’ Policy Lab, added that sending the MIT delegation to COP28 helps diffuse knowledge, explaining that the MIT delegation “shared what they know about climate science impacts and solutions” and “provided technical expertise to negotiators, parties, UN agencies, and others.” In turn, the delegation “[learns] from other researchers, policymakers, community leaders, advocates, activists and young people from around the world.”
Runako Gentles ’24, who majors in Course 1, focused on ways to cut carbon emissions in his home country Jamaica. He described his time in COP28 as a “great networking experience” and said that he “learned a lot from the different panels.”
“I got to connect with a lot of Jamaican delegates,” Gentles added. “It was really cool that, even though I could go to COP in the future many times, this was likely my last opportunity as an undergraduate to attend COP and to come up to people working in the UN.”
Gentles said that he aspires to work for the UN and that meeting Caribbean delegates at COP28 will help in his career. He added that attending COP-related events was “like a springboard, a jumpstart to actually being more impactful after” and that COP28 “was an amazing opportunity to just connect with people who [he] probably just wouldn’t meet everyday.”
Alessandra Fabbri, a PhD candidate at the School of Architecture and Planning, was also interested in environmental policies at COP28. She was specifically interested in the Paris Agreement’s Article 6, which emphasizes giving financial support to developing countries to address climate change-related issues.
Fabbri said, “I wanted to see the evolution of Article 6 in terms of coordination and cooperation between the different nation states, and how they were approaching carbon emissions offsets.” She continued, “There is still a reference to developing vis a vis developed countries [in the negotiations], which has been elaborated and analyzed and criticized a lot in literature, because it always begs the question—developing towards what?”
Fabbri explained that the “non-consideration of the deeper ramifications of those concepts” can strongly impact the COP28 negotiations. She also said that since COP 28 “had an exceptionally high attendance,” as there was a “strong competition for an entry into sessions.”
“There were some panels that didn’t have or had few attendees due to scheduling conflicts,” Fabbri said. “So that detracted a little bit from what I think the main point of this whole event, which is trying to find solutions for climate change.”
COP29 will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan from Nov. 11 to Nov. 24 2024. Any MIT community member interested in becoming a delegate is subject to an application process.

Thank you so so much!! It was perfect and everyone enjoyed it!!
La cérémonie était extraordinaire et nous ne sommes pas les seuls à le penser. Tous nos invités sont unanimes.
We couldn’t have asked for a better humanist – you were class!
The ceremony is something we will remember forever – we are very glad we chose you to be our celebrant.
Love is the ultimate doing word and to be able to express that in our own words was hugely important to us.
We still have guests asking us where and how we found Tim because they liked him so much!
I loved creating our own ceremony but I loved sharing it with our family and friends even more!
Ahhh what an unbelievable weekend! I can’t believe it’s all over. Everything was just perfect (apart from my dress catching on fire!)
If we’re being honest, the ceremony ended up being far better and more magical than either of us had hoped for, which was blissful and gratifying in equal measure – we know we chose the perfect celebrant for us.
Your words and presentation hit all the right notes and really fitted in with the atmosphere of the day. We’ve had so many people passing on their compliments, mentioning that the ceremony was personal, intimate and just so us.

Restaurant with rooms, or country hotel, Boys Hall gets a lot of things right! Under 2 hours from London Bridge (direct train), I've stayed there twice. Read on to see what I liked- and what I didn't about it.
You'll need to take a taxi from Ashford to the hotel (I wouldn't walk it even though it's only 30 minutes, because the walk isn't very nice, and sometimes there's no pavement.)
This is a BEAUTIFUL place to stay- the rooms are amazingly decorated. SO stylish and comfortable. (They're the reason I returned twice actually.)
It also has a beautiful garden. You're welcomed with a cup of tea and cake (there's a choice of 2) and it feels like you're visiting a posh friend, not just staying in a hotel.
The food... isn't great. I wonder if it isa cultural thing, since apparently a lot of their income comes from the restaurant (and they're always busy), but I didn't enjoy the food. (Neither did my Mom.) It wasn't bad (I mean, I did return twice!) but... it felt quite pretentious. (A lot of very fussy flavors on the same plate but they don't go well together!) I was quite shocked to see that it is mentioned in the Michelin Guide. (Oh an English lady we met there described the Caesar salad as "grotesque" so.. might not have just been us who weren't impressed with the food.) The service is terrific though! So friendly and nice (although they did bill me wrongly for a bottle of sparkling water which I didn't order. (My neighbour did.) I didn't want to make the waitress' life difficult so I just paid it.)
They do, however, do very good sandwiches.
Downside is there's nowhere you can go without a car (from the hotel.)

Thoracic Oncology Program Research
The Thoracic Oncology Lab has been making great strides in both clinical and basic research over the past several years. We advanced cutting-edge therapeutics from in silico design and benchtop development with a first-in-class novel pan RAS inhibitor as well as a novel dual acting anti-PARP/anti-microtubule inhibitor, both in clinical trials. An international clinical trial for early-stage lung cancer is being conducted to test an innovative molecular risk stratifying diagnostic assay which has benefited thousands of patients. We have continued our basic research focused on developmental pathways exploited by thoracic malignancies and cancer in general, such as WNT and Hippo signaling. Ongoing studies for immuno-therapeutic approaches to strategically target extra and intracellular moieties in these pathways are currently underway.
We designed a 14 gene molecular assay to identify aggressive biology in early-stage non-small cell (adenocarcinoma) lung cancers and predict prognosis. This assay is being tested in a prospective, international, randomized clinical trial and is a CMS (Medicare) approved and reimbursed CLIA assay. We are able to predict and guide adjuvant therapy to cure patients with molecular stratified tumors of intermediate and high risk. The assay has saved thousands of early-stage NSCLC patients already and once approved in guidelines upon completion of the international Phase III trial will save tens of thousands of each year.

Our group was among the first to demonstrate that aberrant Wnt signaling appeared to cause lung cancer and mesothelioma through overexpression of Dishevelled (Dvl) proteins. Our lab also discovered the critical survival role of Wnt protein ligands as a survival mechanism. We derived a monoclonal antibody to target both the Wnt-1 and Wnt-2 genes and found that it induced apoptosis in cancer cells. Recently we developed a novel humanized antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). Anti-Wnt2-ADC has shown significant anti-tumor effects in vitro and in vivo in Wnt driven tumors including lung cancer, mesothelioma, pancreatic cancer among others. A Phase I clinical trial is expected to start within the near future. We are optimistic that this line of work will lead to new effective treatment for lung cancer, mesothelioma and other cancers.

Working on a random forest predictive model with a continuous response variable and two continuous features. Normally when I do RF projects I use some sort of feature selection method to choose which features to use. Then I fit the RF model onto those features. Then to test accuracy / related metrics I use cross validation, confusion matrices, etc.
However in this case I only have two given features. I don’t want to just literally run a RF model on those two features as my whole entire project. I’m thinking gradient boosting is what I should learn? Also I think I should play around with the number of estimators and depth of the RF. I’m using sklearn in Python if that helps.
Any other suggestions? Obviously this type of problem/challenge is an unexplored area for me, so looking for best practices on how to add to my data science toolkit. Thanks!

March 28, 2020 – From Kings Landing overtourism to Dubrovnik undertourism – a photo tour of the Pearl of the Adriatic in the corona era.
Have you ever heard of the English word ‘overtourism’?
It is a word which I think entered the English language in about 2017, and it referred to lots of people from foreign countries who were inappropriately socially distanced in the same place at the same time.
As with corona there were overtourism hotspots, especially in Europe. Barcelona, Venice, Amsterdam and Dubrovnik.
Beautiful cities where tourist would come and fill the destinations in the summer months.
It was, apparently, a huge problem.
I often wonder what that must have been living, now that I live in the Corona Era.
The Pearl of the Adriatic, Kings Landing to all those Game of Thrones fans, is arguably the most beautiful city ever built. Take out the tourists, the restaurant tables, chairs and stones, and you will discover a true natural wonder – Dubrovnik undertourism – one of the world’s architectural masterpieces stripped back to its original stone and devoid of human presence.
I am very grateful to Ivan Vukovic Vuka, tour guide and CEO of Dubrovnik Tour Guides for these really stunning photos of Dubrovnik undertourism in action.

The status of cryptocurrency in India is a bit of a mess. While there are no restrictions currently, the Government of India is increasingly looking to present the official stance regarding it. Many speculated that India will also see a ban on cryptocurrency with the cryptocurrency bill slated in February 2021, it looks like it may not be the case anymore.
In today’s Upper House Session, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman spoke about the upcoming Cryptocurrency and Official Digital Currency Bill 2021. Speaking during the Question Hour, she said:
“We are close to bringing a bill in parliament. It will be introduced in the house once the cabinet clears the bill.”
Clearing previous misconceptions, she said this is a new bill is a reworked version of the old bill. This has sparked new hope for crypto enthusiasts that the government may not entirely ban cryptocurrencies as previously expected.
Besides this, a number of individuals in the house have given their views about these disruptive technologies, stating that “banning cryptocurrency completely wouldn’t be wise as it can lead to illicit groups penetrating in the country.”
As far as the crypto advertisements go, she said:
“No decision was taken on banning its advertisements. However, we have taken steps to create awareness through RBI and SEBI.”
When asked about the taxation on cryptocurrencies, the finance minister said:
“Don’t have ready information about the amount of tax collected on cryptocurrencies.”
Yesterday, the Finance Minister had stated that the government has no plans to recognize Bitcoin as a Currency. She said this in a written response when asked whether Government collects data on Bitcoin transactions.

-Monica Coscioni Cocktail Ring In 18Kt White Gold With 3.65 Ctw In White Sapphires
Geometric cocktail ring designed by Monica Coscioni.
This beautiful contemporary ring was designed at the atelier of the jewelry designer Monica Coscioni. She is located in the city of Orvieto, close to Rome. This ultra modernism ring was crafted in solid white gold of 18 karat with the surfaces finished, with very high polish.
Sapphires: Mount in the middle in with a V channel setting, with 8 graduated European round rose cuts of natural white sapphires, with a combined weight of 3.65 carats. The gemstones are loupe clean and transparent.
Weight: 37.6 grams, (24.10 Dwt).
Size: 7.75, sizeable.
Measures: From the top is 13 mm x 32 mm (0.51 x 1.26 Inches).
Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark, the Italian assay control mark and signed, "MC.750 *87AL".
About Monica Coscioni
My name is Monica. I live and work in Orvieto, where I was born. From the beauty of the places that surround me I draw the destination for art and creativity. From classical studies, the love for the origin and the plasticity of the forms. I have been creating jewels for over thirty years but I keep the traits of a little girl alive: I play, invent, create, amaze. I attended the "workshop" of a well-known Tuscan goldsmith and sculptor for six years but the real training was the direct experience in my atelier until today. From my character, the challenge to the craft of craftsman: to create a revolutionary collection, that is capable of creating a precious object because it is beautiful, refined, unique and particular, dreamlike and narrative, separated from its material value. I had the "vision" of my home-workshop by visiting one of the most important historic buildings in Orvieto, Palazzo Manassei and now it is a place of magic and creation. Here I abandon myself to the delirium of creation: I experiment, shape, melt the metal then forge it, I get dirty, my nails break under the file but I don't care, the only thing I long for is the moment when the object will be finished, I'm not afraid of the journey. From my dreams: the desire to generate jewels capable of communicating even the incommunicable, as a hymn to life, a wish for evergreen fullness, as a very powerful talisman of love, hope and joy
Note: Gold pieces from Monica Coscioni are very rare to see and not seldom produced since the main design and production are in solid sterling silver.
Note: The retail price of this ring, back in the 2016 was 13,900 euros.
Collateral: It is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box.
Condition: The overall condition of this ring is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the gold. All gemstones are secured in the settings. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.

Chad's opposition Transformers party has said it will not run in the country's legislative and local elections on December 29 because the result was decided in advance.
Succes Masra, one of President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno's fiercest opponents, claimed victory in the May presidential election in which he secured 18.5% of the vote, after alleging Deby's team would rig the result.
"The Transformers will not participate in the legislative elections in December," Masra told supporters at a ceremony for victims of anti-junta protests two years ago on Sunday.
"To participate in these elections amounts to condoning a result that has already been entered in the computers of the opposing camp," the 41-year-old economist, who was for a while prime minister under Deby, said.
Deby's presidential election victory
The GCAP opposition group also said last month it would boycott the election.
After a new constitution was approved in a referendum in December, Deby, 40, was elected president in May in voting that the opposition boycotted and international observers said was not credible.
Deby had been proclaimed transitional president by fellow army generals in 2021 after his father, Idriss Deby Itno, who had ruled Chad for 30 years, was killed in a gun battle with rebels.
Deby promised an 18-month transition to democracy but extended it by two years. Opposition figures have since fled, been silenced or joined with Deby.
On October 20, 2022, the army and police opened fire on demonstrators protesting the transition extension.
At least 300 young people died according to international NGOs. The government says about 50 died.
"Despite uncertainties, difficulties and hurdles, the process is coming to an end and the commitments that were made will be honoured," Deby said on Friday, confirming the election date.

Maintaining a functional toilet is essential for any household. But it's imperative to take quick action when problems like leaks or damage to the water supply line arise. While calling a plumber or plumbing repair service is always an option, tackling certain tasks yourself can save time and money. One such task is replacing your toilet’s water supply line.
In this blog post, our professionals from Trust Rooter Plumbing & Drain Cleaning will walk you through the steps to accomplish this DIY project safely and effectively.
Before diving into the replacement process, it’s important to assess the condition of your toilet’s water supply line. Keep an eye out for leaks, corrosion, and wear. It's time to replace the supply line if you see any of these problems. In addition, collect the equipment and supplies required for the task, such as a new water supply line, an adjustable wrench, and a bucket or towel to catch any spilled water.
Start by shutting off your toilet's water supply. Find the shut-off valve, which is usually found behind the toilet on the wall. Once the valve is completely closed, turn it clockwise. Flush the toilet to remove any leftover water from the tank and bowl after turning off the water source. By taking this action, spills and leaks throughout the replacement procedure will be reduced.
Loosen the nuts holding the old supply line to the toilet tank and the shut-off valve with an adjustable wrench. Carefully disconnect the old supply line from both connectors when the nuts have been loosened. This step may cause some water to leak, so be ready with a towel or container to collect any drips.
It's now time to install the new supply line after the old one was removed. Start by attaching one end of the new supply line to the shut-off valve and making sure the adjustable wrench is tightened all the way. Next, use the same method to connect the other end of the supply line to the toilet tank. To stop any more leaks, make sure the connections are secure.
To restart the water flow to the toilet after the replacement supply line has been firmly attached, carefully turn the water supply valve counterclockwise. As the water fills the tank, watch out for any leaks around the connectors. If you notice any leaks, tighten the connections further as needed until they are secure.
Flush the toilet after turning on the water supply, and look for any leaks near the supply line connectors. Inspect for any water buildup in the space beneath the toilet as well. Recheck the connections and tighten them as needed until the leaks are fixed if you find any.
Replacing your toilet’s water supply line may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and knowledge, it can be a straightforward DIY project. Without hiring a plumber or using plumbing service, you can replace the supply line on your toilet and get it working properly again by following these instructions. However, don't be afraid to ask for expert help if you run into any problems or have questions regarding any part of the procedure. You may rest easy knowing your toilet is in good working condition if your water supply line is operating correctly.
If you are in need of a toilet repair or toilet installation, contact our team at Trust Rooter Plumbing & Drain Cleaning today.

In just three months, we have:
• won lifesaving transport reform for road transport and the gig economy;
• had Qantas criminally convicted and fined $250,000 for breaching the Work Health and Safety Act;
• held a week of unprecedented Federal Court hearings to compensate illegally sacked Qantas workers; and
• taken steps to start the first ever multi-employer bargain in aviation.
On top of these significant moments, bargaining is kicking off at StarTrack, FedEx, Border Express, Centurian, Camerons, Qube, Lindsay, SCT, PFD and K&S, and continues for Virgin pilots. All the while, our core union business to improve the lives of transport workers is carried out by members and delegates on the ground across the country.
TRANSPORT REFORM: A HISTORIC WIN
Congratulations to every single member for the enormous effort to convince politicians that passing transport reform will save lives, jobs and businesses.
In August, we will have our very own road transport stream of the Fair Work Commission to set enforceable minimum standards throughout supply chains and in the transport gig economy. This is a world-first system that will completely reshape our industry, hold wealthy clients and gig behemoths to account, and give power to transport workers.
The best part: TWU members who fought so hard
for this system are guaranteed a seat at the table to advise the expert panel of the Commission on standards. That is incredibly powerful, and exactly the right way to lift standards in transport.
BUILDING ON AVIATION WINS
Our success in aviation is multiplying, because we’re working hard together to build on the wins we’ve already achieved.
Strong agreements won by Menzies and Dnata workers in 2021 have led to talks on the first ever multi-employer bargaining round for aviation. An opportunity that gives workers more power to lift and protect pay, conditions and job security.
Virgin pilots continue to bargain from a stronger position, following solid agreements in ground and cabin crew last year that showed Virgin the TWU means business.
Workplace hero and HSR Theo Seremetidis and illegally outsourced workers who fought through years in the courts – and won every time – are now bringing Qantas to justice with a criminal conviction and unprecedented compensation hearings. Thank you to all members for relentlessly fighting for a better industry. Let’s keep it up.
National Secretary Michael Kaine

Dear great folk at Good Life, I wanted to let you know the [Bark Control Pro] worked marvels for my Mom's neighbor's dog who was barking in the middle of the night. The whole family can sleep in peace now. And that was after just 3 days!
I also tested it on my cats when they howled and they quieted immediately too (although they might mark in fear so go easy on the gentle ones). Best of all, I don't even have to turn it on for them now because just the sight of the [Bark Control Pro] silences them. Definitely recommended for cats! :D
Thank you for an amazing product that has given 2 families (and their neighbors) a good night's sleep.

Unibox delivers a bespoke modular retail display solution for Multiyork’s furniture showrooms.
We worked alongside the interior designers at Tom Dixon Studio to create a sleek, minimalist display system for use by our retail client, Multiyork, in all of its UK showrooms.

Since 2012, Shooting Touch has provided the infrastructure, equipment, and capacity to grow the game of basketball across Rwanda’s villageside, inspiring a new generation with a love for, and understanding of, the positive power of sport for an entire country.
In rural Rwanda, where poverty is ubiquitous and overpopulation, limited resources, and various forms of health inequity negatively impact communities at large, Shooting Touch is using the mobilizing power of basketball as “more than a game.”
Turning basketball courts into classrooms, community centers, and health clinics, Shooting Touch is providing roughly 3,000 youth and women with essential health education, resources, and support integral to their personal development and well-being.
Shooting Touch takes an intentional approach to program implementation, working through the community to create impactful and sustainable programs relevant to the identified needs. Using a holistic, mental and physical health model, Shooting Touch not only provides daily sport and educational programming, but organizes community health events, health advocacy campaigns, and supplies all families in our program with annual health insurance and health testing.
Lastly, in response to the deeply rooted patriarchal systems existing in rural Rwanda, Shooting Touch operates through a gender lens, ensuring not just equal opportunity on the basketball courts, but in all aspects of life. Gender inequality results in unhealthy individuals, families, and communities. As a women-led organization with an equal male to female coach ratio and 70% female beneficiary rate, Shooting Touch is helping to reshape the negative structures holding women and girls back from equal rights and reaching their highest potentials.
The primary goal of Shooting Touch Rwanda is to put youth and women on track towards a brighter future by marrying the values and skills learned on the court with lessons and experiences that target improved health, citizenry, and empowerment.

A multi-generational body of believers committed to being and making disciples of Jesus Christ. We are a member congregation of the Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians (ECO). We look forward to meeting & serving together throughout the week, but especially on Sunday mornings for Small Group Christian Education and worship.
Our small group hour between worship services finds people of all ages learning the Bible in a variety of ways. Separate age-appropriate classes for infants/preschoolers, K-1st graders, 2nd-4th graders, and 5th – 6th graders are focused on teaching God’s word and God’s work & presence in the world of the Bible and the world today.

Four to five adult classes on Sunday mornings and group studies on Wednesday evenings find young adults through senior adults challenged to study the Scriptures and encourage one another.

We worship in a traditional church sanctuary with beautiful stained glass windows, yet God calls us beyond the traditional to communicate God’s love for us and our love for God. We have a paper bulletin for everyone as well as hymnals in the pews while at the same time we use a projection screen to lead the congregation through the service together. We use a variety of music that reflects the diversity of ages in our church family. In worship we are drawn to our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is what matters most. We come to grow in love for him, for one another, for our community, and for the world.
We are expectant that God will continue to grow our church as we are faithful to be and make disciples, remaining faithful to study & teach his Word, to reach out to those in need, and to care for one another with compassion and joy.

Quakers are a religious group who originated in England in the 17th century. We are known more formally as the Religious Society of Friends. There are now Quakers all over the world, including about 14,000 members in Britain.
Quakers maintain that every person can have a real and direct experience of God without the need for priests and rituals. We believe that there is something of God in everyone. Although we have our roots in Christianity we also find meaning and value in the teachings and insights of other faiths and traditions. But Quakerism is essentially a way of life rather than a system of beliefs. We try to live our lives according to a set of values known as ‘testimonies’.
By all means – our meetings are open to everyone. You may like to arrive a few minutes in advance so that we can make you welcome.
Anyone can be a part of the Quaker community. Those who go to meeting but have not been formally accepted into membership are known as ‘attenders’. Attenders may apply to become members if they have acquired an understanding of Quaker values and practices and feel that they are ready.
There are links below, there are videos on YouTube, pages on Facebook and of course you can contact us to ask questions!

V1 GALLERY PROUDLY PRESENTS
Glen Baldridge, Colby Bird, Patrick Brennan, Graham Collins, Ned Colclough, Steven Cox, Georgia Dickie, Chris Duncan, Hilary Harnischfeger, Sara Greenberger Rafferty, Rachel Foullon, Ted Gahl, Karl Haendel, Adam Helms, Jeremy Jansen, Matt Kenny, Lauren Luloff, Augustus Nazzaro, Hilary Pecis & Ryan Wallace.
Curated by Ryan Wallace
Ghost Current is a conversation about artist, object, image, intention, appropriation, context and meaning. This diverse group eschews current trends in favor of sui generis invention within the chosen fields of the artists. Spanning the genres of photography, sculpture, painting, drawing and collage, each work in Ghost Current is begun with something found.
Where appropriation and the readymade seek to bring new contexts to images and objects, the works in Ghost Current employ these as catalysts for new pieces. Here, a chunk of Quartz, a paint stirring stick or a buck saw are not placed in a setting to achieve new meaning, rather, they become the crux around which sculptures and paintings are built. The augmentations achieve familiar entries, but the “pictures” and “things” are no longer accessible as the original. In this regard the exhibition looks to shed light upon creative impetus rather than social history or contextualization. As ghost current may flow when the power has been cut, the objects and images taken as starting points continue to exude their own energies, now as conduits of the artists.
Wallace states: “I started curating the exhibition with two distinct groups in mind, as I did studio visits and reviewed works, it wasn’t as clearly delineated/definable as I expected. While images sourced from movie posters are clearly photographic, and a ceramic tile is clearly material, questions arose in other works. How to categorize a sun bleached exposure on fabric, or a remodeled thrift store painting of a tiger; as an object or an image? In this way, the gallery will be divided into two areas; the lower level filled with those works that are drawing most clearly from photographic imagery, the ground level spaces being a blend of the clearly object influence pieces and those that aren’t so clearly categorized.”

“Idols, Icons and more…”
by Pam Baumgardner
With the Ventura County Fair behind us leaving us with many cool memories of so many amazing concerts, I would be remissed if I didn’t share one slightly monumental event that took place on Tuesday afternoon. One of our musical treasures we claim as our own is Jimmy Calire who you can find playing here in town with several different bands. I once wrote about stories Calire shared with me when his band Raven played in New York City and Jimi Hendrix would join in on the jam and I even once read that Janis Joplin tried to hire him at one point. Calire also toured with America in the seventies, so it was really cool when America played at the fair and invited Jimmy to join them for their final song, their most iconic tune, “Horse with No Name”. I had to ask Jimmy about it and he modestly told me, “Joining them on the song was great, but just catching up backstage was even better.”
Another anecdotal story I must share with you involves another local artist whom you can find singing her Aussie heart out most weeks here in town, of course I’m speaking of Karen Eden. Mark Hartley of the Watermark specifically had Eden booked for Thursday, August 4, in order to surprise her with one of Eden’s idols. Karen told me, “I was half way through a song when Hartley gave me a mischievous look and out from behind him stepped none other than Olivia Newton-John!” Karen of course immediately recognized her and smiled a huge grin. She told me, “I can’t believe I kept singing!” After the song Karen went up to Olivia and gave her a big hug. Karen got to tell her how she grew up listening to, learning from and loving her. Karen confessed, “She was so lovely; it was a treat of a lifetime for me.” It also turned out that Karen’s guitarist that evening, Cary Park, had played on one of Olivia’s albums back in the 90s. What a night!
And just so you know Mark Hartley, Dave Grohl is my favorite idol. Just sayin’.

A two-piece silver-plated caviar serving set in the Malmaison pattern contains an outer presentation dish for ice and a crystal bowl that can hold 8.8 oz. of caviar. The bowl comes with a lid adorned with a closed lotus plant.. One of Christofle's most historic patterns, Malmaison exemplifies the Empire style, with its frieze of delicate palm and lotus leaves and symmetry. The name is a nod to the Chateau de la Malmaison, a favored Parisian residence of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine. It is also the only line that includes caviar serving pieces.

The crisis rocking the Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party deepened on Monday with the Supreme Court dismissing an appeal filed before it on the nomination of the party’s governorship candidate.
The Apex Court consequently ordered that the suit instituted by a governorship aspirant, Jimi Lawal, be remitted to the Federal High Court for a fresh trial.
Justice Ibrahim Saulawa in a judgment in the appeal of the PDP held that the Federal High Court was wrong in declining jurisdiction in the matter of Jimi Lawal.
The Apex Court agreed with the Court of Appeal in Abuja that the FHC had jurisdiction under Section 285 of the 1999 constitution and Section 84 (14) of the Electoral Act 2022 to hear the matter of Lawal on its merit.
The Supreme Court therefore ordered the case be remitted to the Chief Judge of the FHC, Justice John Tsoho, in Abuja for determination by another Judge other than Justice Taiwo Taiwo who refused to entertain the suit.
Justice Saulawa in a unanimous judgment of a five-man panel of the Apex Court ordered that the FHC must speedily hear the case of Lawal against Oladipupo Adebutu and the PDP within time allowed by law.
Jimi Lawal who contested the May 25 governorship primary election of the PDP had challenged the emergence of Adebutu alleging that the unlawful delegates list was used by the party to conduct the election.

This happens especially if the market and our customers are demanding areas that we aren’t so efficient in. We usually say that we don’t have experts in a specific field because we have a multidisciplinary team that has enough strengths to handle any challenge that our customers might throw at us.

It’s also important to stay humble and understand that one of the biggest strengths that we have as a team is the commitment and flexibility that we apply to every challenge that we are involved in.
How do you keep up with the latest trends and movements in digital?

By doing so, everyone stays connected and feels important to the company’s tech direction. From that point, we decide, together, what the next steps are that we should take as a team, by gaining knowledge from each person and sharing it with everyone.

“When I try to do a painting, I try to narrow the world down to one thing. When you do that you’re saying no to the rest of the world. It seems, to me, like a very artificial thing and it goes against life. Life is mixed up and all over the place,” Martin Creed said after careful consideration and minutes of very out loud thinking during the press preview of his new show at the Park Avenue Armory on Tuesday (June 7, 2016).
The statement is not just about the current exhibition, it’s also a great testament to the 2001 Turner Prize winner’s work, which is executed in every imaginable medium – paint, bronze, light, sound, rubber, steel, film, photography, installation and many more. Creed’s not trying to limit himself and he gained recognition over the past two and a half decades for pursuing an extraordinary path by confounding the traditional categories of art.
His humorous approach to serious topics like border control (also the name of a cringe-inducing piece showing refugees trying to enter European countries set to a folk-like tune with vocals singing ‘border control’) has New York obsessed; his work is concurrently on display at Madison Square Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Just the title of his Armory show, The Back Door, will have most people giggling as it reminds them of a more intimate body part. And it’s totally intentional: as visitors enter the Drill Hall, they are greeted by a big screen with the piece Mouth playing on it. It shows different cuts of people—one of which is Creed’s mother and another supermodel Lily Cole—opening their mouthes in slow motion to reveal a gooey mass (yogurt). Between each cut, the back door of the Armory opens out to the street for a few seconds.
Other pieces are less discreet. A girl pooping on the floor, a series of people vomiting, a video consisting of nothing but a black screen and a soundtrack titled fuck off (no literally, the only words expressed are FUCK OFF), and a man beating bouquets of flowers on the floor. And these are only the video pieces exhibited in a corridor parallel to the Drill Hall.
Since most events/exhibitions at the Armory have only been in the Drill hall, it’s great to see them take the entirety of the historic building into use: all rooms have somehow been transformed by Creed. His Work No. 596, Slamming Piano is exhibited in one of the wooden rooms, his Work No. 200, Half the air in a given space is also on display in one of the many grand rooms that are rarely used. All New Yorkers (permanent or temporary) most go explore Creed’s incredible oeuvre and the many “unseen” rooms of the Armory.

Dogs are naturally curious and energetic creatures that need more than just physical exercise to stay happy and healthy. Just like humans, they need mental stimulation to keep their minds sharp and their spirits high. That’s where dog enrichment toys come into play. These toys are designed to engage your dog’s brain, provide entertainment, and prevent boredom, which can lead to destructive behaviors. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about dog enrichment toys and how they can benefit your furry friend.
What Are Dog Enrichment Toys?
Dog enrichment toys are specially designed tools that challenge your dog’s cognitive abilities. These toys come in various forms, such as treat dispensers, snuffle mats, puzzles, and chew toys. The goal of these toys is to make your dog think and work for their rewards, whether it’s a hidden treat or a squeaky sound. This mental engagement is crucial for your dog’s overall well-being, providing both entertainment and a sense of accomplishment.
Why Mental Stimulation Is Important for Dogs
Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise for dogs. Without it, dogs can become bored, anxious, and even depressed. This can lead to unwanted behaviors like chewing on furniture, excessive barking, or digging. Dog enrichment toys provide the mental exercise that helps prevent these issues by keeping your dog occupied and engaged.
Types of Dog Enrichment Toys
There are various types of dog enrichment toys available, each catering to different aspects of your dog’s mental stimulation. Here are some popular options:
1. Treat Dispensers
Treat dispensers are a great way to keep your dog motivated and engaged. These toys require your dog to figure out how to release the treats inside, which can take some problem-solving skills. They come in various shapes and sizes, from simple balls that release treats as they roll to more complex designs that require specific actions to unlock the goodies.
2. Snuffle Mats
Snuffle mats are designed to mimic the natural foraging behavior of dogs. These mats have layers of fabric where you can hide treats, encouraging your dog to use their nose to find them. This type of enrichment toy is perfect for dogs that love to sniff and explore.
3. Dog Puzzles
Dog puzzles are interactive toys that challenge your dog’s problem-solving abilities. These puzzles often involve sliding or lifting parts to reveal hidden treats. They come in varying difficulty levels, so you can start with something simple and gradually increase the challenge as your dog gets better at solving them.
4. Chew Toys
Chew toys are not only great for dental health but also provide mental stimulation. Look for chew toys that are designed to be more interactive, such as those that have different textures or compartments where you can hide treats. These toys satisfy your dog’s natural chewing instinct while also keeping their mind occupied.
Choosing the Right Dog Enrichment Toys
When selecting dog enrichment toys for your furry friend, consider the following factors:
- Difficulty Level: Start with easier toys and gradually introduce more challenging ones as your dog gets better at solving them.
- Toy Type: Consider your dog’s natural behaviors and preferences. Does your dog love to chew, sniff, or problem-solve? Choose toys that cater to these instincts.
- Safety: Ensure that the toys are made from non-toxic materials and are durable enough to withstand your dog’s play style.
- Size: Choose toys that are appropriate for your dog’s size to avoid choking hazards.
Benefits of Dog Enrichment Toys
Using dog enrichment toys regularly can provide a host of benefits for your dog, including:
- Reduced Boredom: Enrichment toys keep your dog occupied, reducing the likelihood of destructive behaviors caused by boredom.
- Improved Mental Health: Regular mental stimulation helps keep your dog happy and reduces anxiety and stress.
- Enhanced Problem-Solving Skills: As your dog figures out how to use different toys, their cognitive abilities improve over time.
- Stronger Bond with Your Dog: Playing with enrichment toys together can strengthen the bond between you and your dog, providing both physical and emotional benefits.
Dog enrichment toys are essential tools for any dog owner who wants to keep their pet mentally stimulated and happy. By incorporating these toys into your dog’s daily routine, you can help prevent boredom, reduce destructive behaviors, and improve your dog’s overall well-being. Whether it’s a treat dispenser, a snuffle mat, or a challenging puzzle, there’s a perfect dog enrichment toy out there for every pup.

Now Moses was pasturing the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 Then the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not being consumed. 3 So Moses said, “I must turn aside and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burning up!” 4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then He said, “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6 And He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
7 And the Lord said, “I have certainly seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their outcry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 9 And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.
10 And now come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.” 11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?” 12 And He said, “Assuredly I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain.”
13 Then Moses said to God, “Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?” 14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” 15 God furthermore said to Moses, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is the name for all generations to use to call upon Me.

Nipsey Hussle Starts Gold Chain Giveaway in Response to Police Towing His Brinks Truck
Nipsey Hussle is in a very good mood after finally releasing his debut album, Victory Lap. He recently had one minor setback, but instead of getting all up in arms about it, he's turning lemons into lemonade and one lucky fan will be happy he did.
Friday (Feb. 16.), the L.A. rapper's promotional vehicle, the All Money In Brinks truck, was towed by police for reportedly being parked in a handicap spot in front of the Crenshaw MC's store. According to TMZ, the police discovered the tags had been expired for six months and impounded the vehicle.
Nipsey announced the slight setback on Instagram and decided to start a contest for fans willing to go to Pepe's Towing, where the vehicle was located, and take a picture with the armored truck. "So tha Police buster Ass Towed our All Money In Brinks Truc," he captioned a video of the vehicle sitting on the back of a flat-bed tow truck. "SO HERES WHAT WE DOIN....WE GIVING AWAY A 14K Gold All Money In Chain And Piece for one lucky winner. JUS PULL UP TO PEPE’s TOWING AND TAKE A PIC BY THE ARMORED TRUCK AND HASHTAG #VICTORYLAP & #FREETHEBRINCKSTRUCK to enter the GIVEAWAY!! 918 S Boyle Ave Los Angeles, CA 90023 United States."
Last night, TMZ caught up with the "Dedication" rapper who talked about the situation. "One thing we don't respect, is how the LAPD came through and took our Brinks truck," he said. "We putting on for the city. We showing love. We raising the expectations of young niggas that come up out the hood. And we don't understand why the police want to hate on that. But guess what? We gone turn the negative into a positive," he added before spelling out the contest rules.
Strangely, Nipsey has had parking issues in the past. He was arrested for outstanding warrants last August, after police discovered his car parked in a handicap spot.

Shares in Lloyds Banking Group, which were previously owned by the UK Government, are being sold off under pre-election plans to recoup the taxpayer money used to bail out the ailing financial institution during the 2007 to 2009 financial crisis. The price of the shares has dropped to 86.66 pence at the time of writing, which is a reduction of 0.47%, according to the FTSE 500.
UK Financial Investments Limited, which is responsible for the Government’s shares in the bank, announced in a statement issued on June 1st that they were due to allow Morgan Stanley, the agent used to sell the shares, to continue selling them, stating that “the Trading Plan will now terminate no later than 31 December 2015”. The statement also indicated that provision was being made for the for the recouping of money paid for the shares, saying “as with all disposals, delivering value for money for the taxpayer is a key consideration and shares will not be sold below the average price per share paid for them.”
This coincided with a statement from George Osbourne who has been vocal in his desire to privatise the taxpayer-funded banks since coming into power with the collation Government, and who claimed on the 1st June: “This means we have now recovered over £10.5bn in total, more than half of the taxpayers’ money put into Lloyds, and we now own under 19% of the bank”.
The UK Government purchased 43% of the shares in Lloyds Banking Group during the financial crisis. The Government said of UK Financial Investments Limited: “UKFI was set up on 3 November 2008 to manage the UK Government’s investments in banks subscribing to its recapitalisation funds. Its overarching objective is to protect and create value for the taxpayer as shareholder, with due regard to financial stability and promotion of competition.”

- Unbreakable SHIB trendline
- Dogecoin faces failure
A close look at Solana’s chart reveals intriguing possibilities, most notably an emerging inverse head and shoulders pattern.
This inverse head and shoulders pattern is historically recognized as a bullish reversal sign. It represents a series of troughs, with the middle trough (head) deeper than the two surrounding troughs (shoulders). Solana seems to be sketching out this configuration, suggesting that we might be on the cusp of a considerable upswing. However, this potential upside hinges significantly on SOL’s ability to penetrate a key resistance point: the neckline.
A failure to break through the neckline could dampen the bullish momentum and possibly signal a continuation of the downtrend. On the flip side, a successful breach could pave the way for substantial gains, cementing Solana’s position as a crypto frontrunner.
Additionally, there is the impending formation of a “golden cross.” This event occurs when a short-term moving average, such as the 50-day, crosses above a long-term moving average, like the 200-day. Such a move is traditionally perceived as a bullish sign and could act as a double boost for SOL’s prospects.
While the current Solana chart patterns signal potential bullish reversals, it is crucial to monitor SOL’s performance around the neckline closely. A breach or a rejection at this juncture would significantly influence the coin’s trajectory in the coming weeks.
Unbreakable SHIB trendline
Shiba Inu remains under significant pressure, with a relentless downward trendline illustrated on the daily chart of the asset. The aggressive decline, highlighted by the almost overbearing force of the trendline, casts shadows over the once-celebrated digital asset.
From its explosive rise to prominence in 2023, Shiba Inu, much like its peers in the meme crypto space, captured the attention of countless retail investors. However, the chart tells the tale of an asset that was unable to escape the gravitational pull of a descending trendline after the bullish rally was over.
Peering beyond just Shiba Inu, there prevails an overarching sentiment that meme coins, in general, are in a frail state. The speculative fervor that drove their meteoric rises seems to be waning. While they offered novelty and excitement during their heyday, the broader market sentiment now suggests a shift in investor preference.
There is a growing thesis among crypto enthusiasts and investors that meme-based assets are gradually losing their traction on the market. This transition, many believe, is due to renewed interest in foundational cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Dogecoin faces failure
Dogecoin (DOGE) seems to be struggling amid the broader market optimism. As portrayed in the latest chart, Dogecoin’s relentless endeavor to breach the 50 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) barrier has met with another failure, marking this as its third unsuccessful attempt. This paints a picture of an asset that is battling upstream even when its peers are swimming with the tide.
The recent trading patterns for DOGE reveal a sequence of valiant breakouts, each trying to pierce through the formidable 50 EMA ceiling. However, much like the two preceding attempts, the latest push, too, has been rejected, further emphasizing the coin’s struggle to reclaim its former glory. This is particularly glaring when juxtaposed with the performance of the broader market, which has shown positive momentum in the same time frame.
What is causing this slump for Dogecoin? While market dynamics are multifaceted and cannot be distilled into a single cause, one glaring issue stands out: the lack of tangible use cases. Many cryptocurrencies have sought to carve out niches for themselves, be it in decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs) or other realms of the digital economy. Dogecoin, born from a meme and largely driven by social media hype, has not been able to transcend its origin story and evolve into a utility-driven asset.

The power of a visually aesthetic website design can make a big difference in several Google ranking factors and Click Through Rate (CTR). This makes having bold images on your site vital.
“People form a first impression in a mere 50 milliseconds,” according to Larry Kim, Founder and CTO of WordStream. “An estimated 84 percent of communications will be visual by 2018.”
How do you ensure your marketing message is visual to increase conversions? The following 4 image hacks to make a splash on launch day can make it happen.
1. Understand Your Target Market
This is a very important part of conveying the right marketing message to the right target market. For instance, if your target audience is Millennials, you should know what their interests and buying triggers are. This makes having buyer personas in place valuable.
Knowing other key demographics about your target audience, such as gender, location, and device can be useful as well. If your website is catering to women’s health, for example, you will want to have images that women will identify and engage with.
Location is another big one. By using images that are location specific to your target audience can convey a more personalized marketing message. For instance, if your site is geared for women’s health in Oregon, you can have images of women hiking a very well known area of the state. Columbia Sportswear, an Oregon company does this very well.
2. Use Personalized and Emotional Images
By making your images personalized via key market demographics, you can conjure more emotions from potential customers. This is essential. Marketing is all about emotions, and if you can connect your site, products, and/or services to a consumer in a meaningful way, they are far more likely to buy from you.
Look at baby products, for example. The sites that offer products or services for babies rely heavily on emotion. Think baby sleeping on a father’s chest, or baby playing with a happy mom. The Bump, a pregnancy and parenting website has a carousel of emotional images front and center for site visitors to connect with immediately.
These types of images are powerful. After all, people are buying from your brand because they trust and feel connected to it. You want to have emotional, personalized images that make that connection. This can also extend customer lifetime value as well.
3. Have a Very Clear Call To Action
When it comes to website design, it is all about leading consumers on a guided journey with a conversion-minded result at the forefront. The images you use play a role in the customer’s buyer journey.
For instance, ecommerce sites will have one stunning image of a product that catches the attention of a potential customer (awareness stage). After they are compelled visually, they will read about the product and check ratings and reviews (evaluation stage). Then they will most likely browse other product images before finally clicking “purchase” (conversion stage).
A great example of this is the stunning background image with a clear call to action, “For all that floats,” Boat Planet uses as their site’s hero image. This is essential to the buyer journey, and emotional, high-quality images, leading consumers down the sales funnel faster.
4. Know the Anatomy of an Image
Now that you know what types of images are powerful for your website, let’s take a look at the proper anatomy of a bold image. For instance, high-quality images simply drive more conversions. You also want to be sure you are using images with bold colors and details as well. This is especially important for product images.
- Size does matter. If you offer products on your site, make sure they are large images. These types of images often drive more conversions due to their dominance on page. But be sure to compress your images to ensure page load time is not affected.
- Only use high quality images. Having high quality images allows potential customers to zoom in and really see the detail of your product. This is a very common ecommerce sales hack that you need to use. For instance, a diamond ring image should be of the highest quality, otherwise your site’s visitors will go to competitors instead.
Are Your Website Images Attracting Clicks?
When it comes to website design, there’s a lot to think about and plan for. However, combining images that speak to your target audience with your site’s marketing message should be a priority. Since consumers crave more visual content, you must meet the demand.

Even though they know it’s dangerous, many American drivers still talk on a cellphone or text while behind the wheel, a new survey finds.
In fact, the number of drivers who say they talk regularly or fairly often on their cellphone while driving has actually risen 46 percent since 2013, the pollsters say.
More than 2,600 licensed drivers, aged 16 and older, were questioned for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety survey.
Nearly 58 percent said talking on a cellphone while driving is a very serious threat to their safety, while 78 percent said texting is a significant danger.
Yet nearly half of the respondents said they recently talked on a hand-held phone while driving. And more than one-third had sent a text or email while driving, according to the survey.
“With more than 37,000 deaths on U.S. roads in 2016, we need to continue finding ways to limit driving distractions and improve traffic safety,” said David Yang, executive director of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
“The foundation’s work offers insight on drivers’ attitudes toward traffic safety and their behaviors, so we can better understand the issue and identify potential countermeasures to reduce crashes,” he added in a foundation news release.
Drivers talking on a cellphone are up to four times more likely to crash, and those who text are up to eight times more likely to crash than drivers who don’t engage in those behaviors, according to a recent foundation study.
The new survey also found that nearly nine out of 120 respondents believe distracted driving is on the rise, topping other risky behaviors such as aggressive driving, drugged driving and drunk driving.
“As the number of distractions behind the wheel increases — from the latest phone apps to in-vehicle technology — it is important that we better educate drivers on the dangers of distraction,” said Jake Nelson, AAA director of traffic safety advocacy and research.
“There is a disconnect between what drivers do and what they believe. While most recognize the dangers created by taking your eyes off the road, they engage in distracting behaviors anyway — creating a ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ culture on the roadway,” Nelson said.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more on distracted driving.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Secret Invasion episode three.
Death is rarely the end in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and even a show as gritty as Secret Invasion cannot convince the fans otherwise. Episode three of the ongoing Disney Plus show, “Betrayed”, definitely lived up to its title by seemingly killing off yet another popular character. Although this one has a much shorter MCU history than the already much-missed Maria Hill, folks are nonetheless heartbroken over their apparent demise.
Yes, I’m obviously referring to Emilia Clarke’s G’iah, with Talos’ redeemed turncoat daughter having her double agent status exposed by Gravik before the evil Skrull leader killed her with a single shot to the chest. While the lingering shot of an unconscious, bloodied G’iah was not exactly encouraging, Disney appears to have already accidentally given the game away that her fate is not as it appears.
As Twitter user @HailEternal made a point of sharing, in order to calm people down, the below screenshot from the promos has yet to feature in the series itself. Therefore we’ve definitely got more of Clarke on the way this season.
By the looks of things, this scene depicts G’iah and I’m guessing Priscilla Fury/Varra teaming up. The two characters have not shared any screentime together in the show’s first three episodes so clearly we’ve got an interesting new duo to look forward to over the coming three weeks. All right, this could technically be a flashback, revealing that G’iah and Priscilla have secretly been working together all along, but… Come on, would Marvel really hire Emilia Clarke just to kill her off halfway through the show? Well, OK, they did the exact same thing to Sigourney Weaver in The Defenders, but they wouldn’t do it twice, right?
Secret Invasion airs new episodes Wednesdays on Disney Plus.

Florida Usda Loan Map Florida – Is it possible to download quality, printable maps? The answer is yes. This article will give you some suggestions on how to get your hands on quality maps. Before you start printing and downloading, be sure to read the article first. Within this post, we’ll review the different kinds of printable maps, and how to get them to look sharp and clear. After you’ve read this article, you’ll be ready to print the first printing!
How Do I Print A HD Map?
If you want to print an HD map, the first thing you have to do is open the Internet browser’s File menu. Then, select Print. This will result in the PDF file or an image file, depending on your preferences. After you’ve chosen the type of file, you’ll be able to use your preferred print device print your map. You can also save the map as a PDFfile, that is more convenient for those who struggle with printing with a browser.
The parameter size determines the size of the map’s picture in pixels. For instance, if choose a size of “500×400,” you will receive a map that is 300 pixels across by 200 pixels tall. When your image is less than, you’ll see a reduced-sized Google logo. The scale parameter influences the dimension parameter and will have an impact on the final size of output. For the best results, pick the value that is between one and two.
How Can I Print An Uncluttered Map?
If you’re ready to print a clear map there are steps to follow for a professional final result. To ensure your map is legible and clear, make sure you set your printer’s default paper size in the range of 8.5 By 11 inches. Make sure to leave ample room on the bottom and top of the map for margins. Be sure to place the bleed area one eighth inch over the final map dimensions. A majority of printers favor high-resolution PDF files for their printing projects. If you’re purchasing several copies, make sure you check for the size of your maps. Be sure to include crop marks for the proper place.
After you’ve selected the right size paper, you can adjust the print map to fit. When using a printer with a coating of plastic it is important to note that the plastic film does not extend past the edges. Make sure that you place the coated plastic into the paper tray with the plastic side facing up. The process may vary based on the printer type and the type of paper you’re using. Utilizing black ink will give you the most accurate results. If you want to print in colour, you can use color printing, but remember that the result is not as good.

“Between the stimulus and the response there is a space, and in this space lies our power and freedom” – Viktor Frankl
Mindfulness is a very powerful tool which I incorporate into my own life, and also use with my clients. But what exactly is mindfulness? You may have read about it somewhere online, or seen something about it on TV, as it has made its way into the spotlight. Mindfulness, however, is far from new…it is about 2500 years old, even though it has only recently made its debut into our culture.
Mindfulness, very simply stated, is “paying attention to something, in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally” (John Kabat-Zinn, 2003)*.
Wait, that’s it? Just, “being aware in the present moment?” What can that possibly do for me?
Mindfulness is, in fact, a very simple concept. But, as simple as it is, is also as complex as it is. Numerous scientific studies have proven that mindfulness, and intentionally focusing on the present moment, can lead to a decrease in feelings of stress. There have been studies done which show that a regular practice of mindfulness meditation can actually cause measurable structural changes in the brain! Additionally, mindfulness also encompasses some wonderful concepts, such as compassion, lovingkindness, and equanimity (mental calmness).
As we become more aware of our own experience in the moment, we cultivate an ability to “take a pause,” which can be helpful in changing un-useful patterns in our lives, rather than repeating the same old things which end up causing us problems in our relationships.
Mindfulness comes to us from Eastern philosophy, but in no way does it mean that anyone has to be a certain religion to practice it. Mindfulness is a scientifically proven entity, not a religion.
Most people have heard of meditation, even if they have never practiced it. Meditation is a formal practice of mindfulness, but there are many ways to practice mindfulness informally, as you go about your every day life. For example, as you take a shower (or a bath), you can become aware of the feeling of the water on your body. What does it feel like on your skin? Is it warm? Gentle? How long does it take before your thoughts wander away from the feeling of the water on your skin? When you notice that you are no longer with the feeling of the water, can you bring your attention back to it? There, you just practiced mindfulness!!!
I do not require my clients to meditate (unless of course they want to), but I do help them to become aware of what is happening for them in the present moment. By cultivating access to this awareness, you can begin to create positive change.
The quote, by Viktor Frankl, at the beginning of this page, beautifully illustrates the concept of mindfulness. When we increase our awareness, we open space, which allows us to “respond,” instead of “reacting” in the same old ways which have not been useful in our lives.
*Kabat-Zinn, J. Mindfulness-based interventions in context: Past, present, and future. Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice. 2003; 10: 144-156.

Every part of your body is intensely in-tune with each other. Although it doesn’t seem like it, the health of your teeth and gums can have an impact on your mental well-being, and vice versa. Most people are completely unaware of this connection and how it works. Next time you visit your dentist in Worcester, understand that you’re not just preventing oral health problems from developing, but you’re also participating in self-care that will enhance your mental state. Read on to learn the connection between your mood and mouth, and how you can take care of your well-being.
Connecting Your Oral and Mental Health
The connection between your oral and mental health isn’t understood in detail by the medical and scientific communities as well as the general public because it is relatively new. These two parts of our bodies are directly linked to each other.
People that have mental health issues are less likely to properly care for their physical health by being mindful of their diet and physical activity. When this happens, it can result in an even worse mental state by wearing on their self-image, confidence, and self-worth. That means that great oral health habits can promote a healthy state-of-mind.
Problems that Poor Dental Health Can Cause Your Mental Health
The research on how our oral and mental health is connected is incredibly limited, but the few studies that have been conducted have found these links on how poor mental health can lead to oral issues:
- Depression can result in higher consumption of alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco, which are known to increase the risk of oral health problems.
- Depression can result in self-neglect, which means limited oral hygiene.
- Bipolar disorder can cause excessive brushing that can cause gum recession and worn-down teeth.
- Eating disorders cause acids from excessive vomiting to erode tooth enamel.
Likewise, poor dental health can reinforce poor mental well-being in these ways:
- Dental health problems can result in speech problems and bad breath, leading to social anxiety.
- Tooth loss heavily impacts self-confidence and self-image, which can lead to depression.
Protecting Your Overall Well-being
Looking after your overall health begins with taking care of your mouth. You can take preventive steps to reduce your chances of developing oral health and mental health problems by:
- Visiting your dentist every six months for a professional checkup and cleaning.
- Keeping up with your oral hygiene routine at home.
- Quitting bad habits for your oral and physical health like using tobacco products.
- Develop a healthy nutritious diet.
- Participate in regular physical activity.
If you have any questions about how you can develop the best oral hygiene routine at home, don’t hesitate to ask your dentist. They can guide you on how to you can keep mental health issues from wreaking havoc on your teeth and gums.

My obsession with weddings began on a 7-week long summer vacation, in Europe, when I was 10-years old. While in Spain, I witnessed a wedding that was being held at a 17th century palace-turned-hotel. The glasses of fresh sangria, intricate lace and celebratory dancing made a huge impression on me. As a girl from modest, southern roots, I'd never seen anything like it. Little did I know that experience was the beginning of a journey that would lead me across the country and around the world in the pursuits of once in a lifetime event experiences. When it came to my own wedding, my budget was Spanx-tight (even by 90's standards). I embraced simple elegance while honing in on the most meaningful aspects. Since 2003, I’ve successfully completed over 500 weddings, including work that was chosen as the backdrop for a major music video of a chart-topping single. In addition, my weddings have been published in The Knot, PEOPLE Country, Martha Stewart Weddings, BRIDES, Inside Weddings, Carats and Cake, Southern Living and more. In 2014, my luxury wedding services expanded to Europe. For three consecutive years, I’ve been named a “Best Planner in America” by Condé Nast BRIDES.

The Article from FORGE on Medium.com:
My dad died the other day. He left this world while napping in his favorite recliner surrounded by his children. He was 93.
Despite my love and commitment to my father, I have shed zero tears over his passing. I promise I’m not an unfeeling monster (I cried at least once when I took my daughter to see Wicked). It’s just that, rather than sadness, I have found myself overcome with a profound sense of gratitude for his presence in my life and for everything he taught me.

It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but it's also one of the sugariest - and that can have a serious impact on our waistlines, and our teeth..
But a team of dentists have revealed the very easy swaps you can make at supermarkets this Christmas to cut down on your sugar intake this year.
They have revealed the supermarket options that contain a lot less sugar than their rivals, including Waitrose mince pies and everyone's favourite, Lindt Lindor truffles.
The easy swaps ensure you can still have your fill of chocolate, Christmas cake and other festive treats without the need for an emergency dental appointment in the New Year.
If you're looking for a lower-sugar mince pie, head to Waitrose as its All Butter Mince Pies contain 11g per pie compared to 24.8g in Sainsbury’s and 20.5g in Tess revealed.
Chocolates and biscuits are a staple part of Christmas but though all are sugary, there are some better options for your teeth.
Quality Street, a Terry's Chocolate Orange and a box of Cadbury Heroes all contain more than 58g of sugar per 100g, so it may be better to opt for Ferrero Rocher or Lindt Lindor truffles which contain 39g per 100g.
co’s treats, White Glo's dentist
When it comes to Christmas cake, the dentists recommend Asda's bake which has 32g of sugar compared to 41.8g found in Tesco's version.
To slash sugar even further, opt for a non-iced cake such as the Waitrose non-iced rich fruit Christmas cake, which has just 24g.

Everything goes directly to the families in need.
On Marvin Lane, in Mullica Hill, NJ, the neighborhood had significant damage from the tornado on 9/1/21. Multiple homes are missing the second floor and one home has barely a door. They lost everything.

Death Valley ephemeral Lake Manly reappears, offering a rare sight in America’s driest region. Visit now to witness this natural wonder!
In the Western Hemisphere’s most arid and sweltering region, Death Valley, a vast saline body of water has recently emerged. This ephemeral water body, named Lake Manly in tribute to W. L. Manly, who valiantly guided the first group of European settlers through Death Valley in 1849, now spans the valley’s basin. This phenomenon is temporary, mirroring its previous appearance in 2005.
Following an extraordinary downpour in 2023, Lake Manly has reformed. Global travelers are encouraged to seize this fleeting opportunity, with most primary routes into Death Valley, such as California Route 190, remaining accessible. These roads lead to several renowned attractions including Zabriskie Point, Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Ubehebe Crater, Artists Drive, Golden Canyon/Gower Gulch Trails, and Racetrack Road, among others.
Historically, Death Valley’s terrain was part of an extensive lake system during the last major Ice Age in North America. Approximately 10,000 years ago, as these lakes dissipated, they left substantial salt deposits that now constitute the valley’s floor. Beneath Death Valley lies an expansive underground aquifer, forming a natural oasis in the American landscape.
The Oasis at Death Valley, a hidden gem located off CA 190 within the vast 3.4-million-acre Death Valley National Park (the largest in the contiguous United States), thrives on these ancient waters. This secluded resort offers a range of amenities including naturally heated spring pools with an average temperature of 87 degrees, the world’s lowest elevation golf course according to the USGA, lush gardens with cascading bougainvillea, and a date palm grove nourished by spring water.
Established in 1927, the historic site comprises two accommodation options: The Inn at Death Valley and The Ranch at Death Valley, both family-friendly and recently rejuvenated with a $250 million investment.
Located just two hours from Las Vegas and four hours from Los Angeles, Death Valley offers a serene retreat from the fast-paced modern world to global travelers.

At the moment, if I select “Export theme” I don’t see any option, but I think that a “version” field would be very handy.
For example: I create a theme with some templates, but after some time I want to add another template, or add a style variation. So I edit my theme and then export a second time. However, my exported theme is always version “0.0.1”.
I know I can just edit the style.css inside my zip file but I think (and hope) this is a small thing that could make theme developers avoid errors or bad habits.
- The topic ‘Version management for exported themes’ is closed to new replies.

Queen of Laurelin in Tiny Empires.. Word of warning....if you are looking to start a journey into Tiny Empires, my advise would be DON'T! If I had it to do all over again, I would delete that hud from inventory and actually enjoy SL for the fun its supposed to be. All Tiny Empires is, are massive amounts of alts, people using servers and macros to farm gold in the waters of SL and a creator who simply doesn't care. You have been warned.
Before you send me a message concerning sabos, I would prefer it if you would spare some time to read this....
I do not function as game play enforcement department for the kingdom.
I am not going to lecture anyone on how to conduct themselves throughout their game.
If you have a problem with sabotage, I ask that you address it to the developer of the game, Ultralite Soleil, and not to me personally.
I have nothing to do with the development of Sabotage, and I have no input whatsoever over how the game is played.

SUPPORTED LOG SOURCES
View All Supported Log SourcesIt is not easy to aggregate and analyze logs from all of the applications and services running on a Kubernetes cluster. Log volumes can quickly multiply and become unmanageable.
Setting up, managing, and scaling up ELK to meet your logging needs is a complex task requiring much time and effort. This can distract your team from other high-priority tasks.
Teams are often forced to use multiple open-source tools to visualize their logs. Also, a lack of integrated tools for collaboration makes the whole process slow and complex.
Most teams operating in the Kubernetes environment often use kubectl to tail logs. However, this method is prone to security issues as it requires direct access to the cluster. Another major challenge with the Kubernetes environment is that logs can multiply rapidly. Teams lacking scalable logging solutions are at risk of losing critical logs during a spike.
To make things easier, Kubernetes offers a simple approach for in-cluster logging that allows transmitting logs from your pods to Elasticsearch. You can use the same approach to send logs to SolarWinds® Loggly®, along with all its host tags. The advantage with Loggly is that you can aggregate all your logs in one place, access them via a web interface, and control their access per your organization’s policies. This makes Kubernetes logging highly secure and reliable.
While you can set up ELK in the Kubernetes cluster, there is no straightforward way to scale ELK for ingestion and searching needs. On the other hand, Loggly streamlines the whole process with advanced features for searching and analysis.
Loggly automatically parses incoming logs to provide near-instant search results. It provides your log information in a structured manner with its highly interactive Dynamic Field Viewer. With this viewer, you can browse through your logs without any need to key in multiple commands in the console. You can also use the Fluentd plugin to cover all relevant Kubernetes tags for detailed analysis.
In addition to simplifying Kubernetes log aggregation, Loggly offers advanced charts and dashboards for quicker analysis and troubleshooting. The interactive charts can easily be shared through dashboards, which helps you keep every team member on the same page.
Also, you can click on any spike in these charts to explore associated logs and drill down to the code to fix issues. This allows you to spend more time running your applications instead of running the infrastructure. Loggly ensures smooth collaboration for your DevOps team using multiple integrations with tools such as Slack, GitHub, Jira, and more.

The Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons’ December roundtable will focus on hollies and other berry-bearing shrubs and trees that serve wildlife and provide winter interest. Rick Bogusch, the garden manager at Bridge Gardens, operated by the Peconic Land Trust, will join the conversation.
From 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, December 2, the roundtable will take place in the HAH John LoGerfo Library on the ground floor of the Bridgehampton Community House at 2357 Montauk Highway in Bridgehampton.
“From spring through fall many of us enjoy the beauty of the flowers that grow in our gardens as well as watching the many birds that call it home,” HAH states. “But come December, the flowers have faded and it’s wonderful to have something new, nature’s next progression, to sustain beneficial wildlife and provide a beautiful landscape.”
The discussion will include a number of native options as well as cultivars and imports. Among the plants on the agenda that provide attractive berries, which are a food source for birds, are Ilex x meserveae, or blue holly; Ilex opaca, or Christmas holly; Ilex verticillata, or winterberry; Ilex glabra, or inkberry; and Ilex crenata, or Japanese holly.
HAH board member Pamela Harwood will moderate. Admission is open to non-HAH members at no charge.
Then on Sunday, December 10, at 2 p.m. at the Bridgehampton Community House, farmer and author Scott Chaskey will discuss his book “Soil & Spirit:” Cultivation and Kinship in the Web of Life,” a collection of essays that explore the evolution of his perspective as a farmer and as a poet.
Sag Harbor’s Chaskey is a leader in the community supported agriculture movement who promotes organic farming and paying attention to microbial life and diversity of species to build healthy human communities.
HAH lectures are $10 for non-members and free for HAH members.

Plan what foods you will need for the whole week. Choose recipes and snacks for each day. Use the USDA’s SuperTracker tool to track the health value of your meal plan.
Make a grocery list—and follow it! Take the time to write down the items you need for the week, and try your best to not stray from your list.
Save money by cutting coupons. Cut coupons for items on your list and peruse the grocery store mailer. This will help you save money and prevent you from being tempted by too many “on sale” items that are not on the list.
Don’t go to the store hungry, rushed, or after a workout. You’ve probably heard this one before, but do you follow it? When you shop in any of these situations, you are likely to spend more money and buy less healthy food.
Shop the perimeter of the store. Not to say that you can’t go in those center aisles—many healthy essentials are found there, including whole grains and canned vegetables – but generally, the highly processed foods are shelved in the center aisles and the healthier items are located around the perimeter.
Bring the kids along. Teach them about healthy, balanced eating and engage them in the process of selecting, purchasing and preparing food. Each child should choose a fruit and vegetable for the week, increasing the chances that they’ll actually eat what you offer them.
Avoid purchasing unhealthy foods marketed at children. Don’t give in to pleas for junk food items (usually loaded with sugar, salt and/or additives). Avoid tantrums over junk foods by shopping at specialty or “unbranded” grocery stores that do not sell the big-name branded products.
Be wary of the propaganda! Ignore front-of-package labels and get in the habit of reading the nutrition facts and ingredient lists to make sure you are getting high-quality food items. While not exactly propaganda, grocers strategically place perishable items with earlier sell-by dates in the easiest-to-see areas and fresher items at the back of shelves.
Avoid impulse purchases in the check-out line. Grocery stores purposefully place items like gossip magazines, candy and chips at the check-out line in hopes that you will make an impulse buy.
Strategically put the groceries away. When putting the groceries away, place the healthiest items in easy-to-see-and-reach places and the less-healthy stuff in hard-to-see-and-reach places.
