Mediation is a powerful tool that can help resolve conflicts and disputes in a peaceful and constructive manner. Gordon Murray, a mediator with a theatre background, has been using his unique blend of skills to help individuals and organizations find common ground and reach mutually beneficial agreements.
Based in London, Gordon Murray brings a wealth of experience to the mediation process. With his theatre background, he understands the importance of effective communication and empathy in building bridges between people. He believes that mediation is not just about finding a solution, but also about fostering understanding and healing.
In his work, Murray emphasizes the importance of active listening. He believes that truly hearing and understanding each party’s perspective is crucial in finding a resolution that satisfies everyone involved. Through his theatre training, he has honed his ability to empathize with others and create a safe space for open and honest dialogue.
One of the key advantages of mediation is its flexibility. Unlike formal legal processes, mediation allows for creative solutions that may not be possible in a courtroom. Murray encourages parties to think outside the box and explore alternative options that meet their underlying interests.
Mediation can be particularly beneficial in situations where there is a desire to preserve relationships. Unlike adversarial proceedings, mediation focuses on finding common ground rather than assigning blame. This approach can help maintain or even strengthen relationships, making it especially valuable in family disputes or business partnerships.
When asked about his approach to mediation, Murray highlights the importance of neutrality. As a mediator, his role is to facilitate communication and guide the parties towards a resolution, rather than imposing his own opinions or judgments. This impartiality helps create an environment of trust and fairness, allowing all parties to fully participate in the process.
Mediation is a confidential process, which means that discussions and agreements reached during mediation cannot be used against the parties in court. This confidentiality allows for more open and honest conversations, as participants can freely express their thoughts and concerns without fear of legal repercussions.
As a mediator working in London, Gordon Murray has seen firsthand the positive impact mediation can have on individuals and communities. He believes that mediation has the power to transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and understanding. By fostering dialogue and empathy, mediation can help build bridges and create a more harmonious society. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

You might notice some things in your life going through some adjustments today as we enter a flexible energy which allows for less resistance while making changes.
It’s Monday, and although this is a beginning in itself, Fall season, you might be thinking about how to improve your appearance, too. With party season coming up, why not?
The Moon is in Sagittarius and the Sun in Libra. Venus, Mercury, and Mars are in Virgo — these three signs are appreciators of beauty and love color, tantalizing smells, and good company.
What does this mean for your zodiac sign?
You can finally put aside all your activities today to devote to focus on listening some people who in the future will be absolutely responsive to anything you’ll have to do.
Do not miss the opportunity.
What you should not let go is the very advice, warnings and experiences of others that you would like to make yours.
You have to listen carefully, whatever your current commitments are.
A lot of predictions on this day may will leave you confused, so you can only live your life day by day, without pretending to know in advance what turn it will take.
It’s useless to pretend you already know all the consequences of your actions when you have no idea what might happen to those who are close to you and that may therefore reflect on you.
Just breathe and relax.
Take any given opportunity and transform it into reality.
Today you have to be very determined, very direct and absolutely scrupulous about your work and the people involved in it. You can’t afford delays.
You can’t even allow yourself to go ahead and let someone else do what you should’ve done a while ago.
It would be a challenge to stand again and maintain your position!
Always opt for the best of your ideas, especially when you know what your best idea is.
Maybe you were not so careful about your latest project, but you can recover from now on.
What you can’t recover is simply what you did not get, but you can do more to get more.
It is harder to say than to be, so all you can do is be positive and maintain a certain rhythm.
You have kept more than one person pending the past week, whether it is for work or personal issues.
It’s not that you have lost all your chances to get what you could’ve gotten, but you have to be much more careful to not break the strings.
You have to clarify your ideas if you want an extra chance with other people, otherwise no one will be able to understand what your true intentions are because you do not even know it.
This way they won’t be able to help you.
Before people embark on a new path away from you, you should be able to explain your reasons and explain everything you have not been able to pull out during the time spent together.
If you succeed in this, you will create a new connection and a new synergy from which you can start many other activities, all connected and all special. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Deepfake videos, where a person’s face is automatically swapped with a face of someone else, are becoming easier to generate with more realistic results. In response to the threat such manipulations can pose to our trust in video evidence, several large datasets of deepfake videos and many methods to detect them were proposed recently. However, it is still unclear how realistic deepfake videos are for an average person and whether the algorithms are significantly better than humans at detecting them. In this paper, we present a subjective study conducted in a crowdsourcing-like scenario, which systematically evaluates how hard it is for humans to see if the video is deepfake or not. For the evaluation, we used 120 different videos (60 deepfakes and 60 originals) manually pre-selected from the Facebook deepfake database, which was provided in the Kaggle’s Deepfake Detection Challenge 2020. For each video, a simple question: "Is face of the person in the video real of fake?" was answered on average by 19 na ̈ıve subjects. The results of the subjective evaluation were compared with the performance of two different state of the art deepfake detection methods, based on Xception and EfficientNets (B4 variant) neural networks, which were pre- trained on two other large public databases: the Google’s subset from FaceForensics++ and the recent Celeb-DF dataset. The evaluation demonstrates that while the human perception is very different from the perception of a machine, both successfully but in different ways are fooled by deepfakes. Specifically, algorithms struggle to detect those deepfake videos, which human subjects found to be very easy to spot. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The current world market for Smart Grid software and data management applications is $1.4 billion in 2010, and it will grow to $2.9 billion in 2015 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6%, according to The Smart Grid Utility Data Market by market research publisher SBI Energy.
A significant portion of this growth is going to occur in 2011 and 2012, as more American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funded projects in the U.S. are finally given approval.
… emerging EPA regulations on air quality and water for coal-fired power plants could result in over 50,000 MW of coal plant retirements and require an investment of up to $180 billion for remaining plants to comply with the likely mandates.
Both those numbers go up substantially — retirements by 11-12 GW and needed investment by $30-50 billion — if EPA requires cooling towers in addition to smokestack scrubbers. (This is consistent with the FBR Capital Markets report, which finds a total of up to 70,000 MW of coal on the line.)
By 2020, the authors say, coal plant closures will reduce coal demand by about 15 percent, increase natural gas demand by about 10 percent, and (assuming the coal is replaced by gas) reduce CO2 emissions by 150 million tons.
Buyers of video game hardware who like to compare costs and features may want to consider the various systems? energy consumption after the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) tested three top-selling systems and found that a Nintendo Wii? system uses six times less power than a Sony PlayStation ? 3 or Microsoft ? Xbox 360 in active mode.
?We included only a small sample of the many gaming systems available, but it reveals that the differences in energy use can be significant,? said Mark McGranaghan, vice president of Power Delivery & Utilization for EPRI. ??With the holiday shopping season in full swing, now is a good time to consider this factor.?
EPRI tested each system for one hour of active play using EA Sports? Madden 2011 football game, which is widely played on all three game consoles. EPRI found that the Nintendo Wii system used an average of 13.7 watts, the Sony PlayStation 3 used an average of 84.8 watts, and the Microsoft Xbox 360 used an average of 87.9 watts.
LED is Coming of Age – To paraphrase William Gibson, the future of lighting is here, it’s just not evenly distributed. Light-emitting diodes (LED) lightbulbs have been coming on the market in the past few years, but their quality varies greatly, from “almost perfect” to “horrible” (kind of like the early compact fluorescents). I had the opportunity to spend a few days with two LED lightbulbs from Qnuru, and I’d like to share my impressions with you. Read on for more photos and my review.

I reveal this at great personal risk.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man who attempted to Assassinate President Trump, was initially rumored to have "encrypted messaging accounts" and then that story went down the Memory Hole and we never heard anything about it again. . . until now.
My former colleagues in the Intelligence Community from my years working with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, have CONFIRMED to me that Crooks had THREE separate encrypted communications accounts. One in Germany, one in Belgium, and one in New Zealand.
It's the one in Belgium that matters most: It went to NATO HEADQUARTERS in Brussels!
It now appears the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump was a NATO action!
So either NATO went rogue and tried to get rid of a potential future US President who commented previously he wants to disband it, or . . . . . . . The current US President authorized NATO to take out a political rival.
Those are the only two possibilities.
THAT is the state of affairs we find ourselves in right now.

Pet Wellness Exams
Comparable to a human physical exam, a pet’s full wellness examination is known as a “snout to tail” examination. We first talk with you about your pet’s past while getting to know and reassuring your pet (we have cheese!). As we talk about your pet’s past, we’ll start collecting their vital signs and gathering other data to check for any problems and establish a baseline for what is typical for your furry friend. Your pet’s weight will be noted, and his various body systems will be examined to look for any abnormalities. Near the end of the wellness exam, if a blood test, vaccination, or other therapy is required, it will be completed. We will also take the time to answer any of your questions. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

After studying briefly at art college, Wincup decided to follow family tradition by going to sea and joined the Merchant Navy, gaining his Master Mariner certificate. During the years at sea he maintained a keen interest in art, exhibiting locally and abroad. Once back ashore he devoted much time to his watercolours, many of which depict tranquil scenes of the Norfolk Broads.
After many years traversing the oceans of the world, he developed a desire to convey atmosphere and tranquility in his watercolours, always working to retain transparency. He uses only the best water colours and materials available to achieve this vital feature of the watercolour medium. He is particularly inspired by early morning and evening light, which is especially significant in England's relatively flat area of East Anglia, where he lived.
This painting is an excellent example of Wincup's love of light and his artistic skill in capturing the essence of East Anglia's landscape. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

GMA Garnet: Partnering For Environmental Mining
PERTH, AUSTRALIA, September 2016. Torsten Ketelsen's history, for the last 30 years, had been deeply intertwined with that of garnet, the hardest industrial sand. He very much created a market for it, then brought GMA Garnet to a market leader position with a 40 per cent global market share. GMA Garnet's success was based on the exceptional quality of the product and on the company's complete control over the whole production and distribution cycle, from mining to processing, logistics, shipping and distribution to the final user world-wide as well as reprocessing and recycling. The industrial success story also benefited from the support of its controlling shareholder, Jebsen & Jessen Family Enterprise, a true master of entrepreneurial partnerships. But how did the Jebsen & Jessen Family Enterprise's overarching legacy, values, governance, business model and growth strategy contributed to the success of GMA Garnet? How will this relationship support or hamper the ambitious goals set for the company's future? What were the implications of the family firms' commitment to environmental mining practices and a circular economy in that context? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
What’s one of the hardest tasks in business today? It’s not starting a business. It’s not raising money. It’s not even making a profit. According to The Wall Street Journal, it’s firing an employee.
If someone doesn’t fit into an organization, they hurt both themselves and the organization. If you put on a shoe that didn’t fit, would you still wear it? Obviously the answer is no, but when people don’t fit into an organization, it’s often easier to pretend the problem doesn’t exist.
However, pretending won’t make the problem go away. You either deal with the problem now or you wait for the problem to get worse much later. Which do you think is the smarter solution?
The best way to avoid firing someone is to hire the right person in the first place. From the beginning, work and coach each new employee so you and that person know how they can reach their goals, dreams, hopes and vision by working at your company.
When people understand how they can benefit by helping the company benefit, everyone wins. Unfortunately, sometimes we do hire the wrong person and sometimes the right person changes goals so they no longer fit in the company.
Firing may seem like an extreme action – and it can be. If an employee is chronically late, does sloppy work, is dishonest, refuses to be a team player, or demonstrates general contempt or disregard for the job or company, it’s time to cut ties.
Sometimes, however, the person just doesn’t work out. And despite efforts to remedy the situation, firing becomes the best option.
But firing should always create a better situation for both parties.
First, look to see if there is a position that would be a better fit within the current organization. If that’s not possible, then help that person find a position elsewhere. The goal is to satisfy and improve both your company and the fired employee. When you can make the fired employee see greater opportunities, you’ll realize that firing doesn’t have to be painful for anyone.
In fact, firing can be the best thing you can do for your organization and for your employees. Think of firing as a way for everyone to move on to a better future. And who doesn’t want a brighter future for themselves?
James Whitaker, the first American to reach the summit of Mount Everest, said: “You don’t really conquer such a mountain. You conquer yourself.”
Whitaker was a relentless trainer. He tried to anticipate every challenge, emotional and physical. Obstacles came at him right and left: avalanches, dehydration, hypothermia, oxygen shortage at 29,000 feet and the fatigue it caused. “You overcome the sickness and everything else – your pain, aches, fears – to reach the summit.”
To reach your destination, achievers like Whitaker focus on the road rather than the bumps in it:
- Lost the job of a lifetime? Were you right for it in the first place? How much time would you have wasted trying to make something work that should never have been?
- Failed in a flash? Experts say that the entrepreneurs who suffer most and who achieve the least are the ones whose businesses die slow deaths. Better to get it over with in a hurry and move on than to agonize for years trying to squeeze life out of a weak idea.
- Been beaten up? The first golf balls were smooth. An avid-but-broke golfer couldn’t afford new ones. He picked up nicked balls he found littered on the course. The funny thing was he kept beating his well-heeled friends with their shiny new balls. Today’s golf balls have 432 dimples. These ‘rough spots’ enhance the ball’s distance and accuracy. The rough spots in your life sharpen your performance.
- Stewing in your worries? Did you know that the English word ‘worry’ originates from an Anglo-Saxon term meaning to ‘strangle or choke?’ It’s not adversity that cripples us: It’s worrying about what could happen. A day of worry is more exhausting than a day of work. Back in 1948, Dale Carnegie titled one of his classics: How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. As a kid, this masterpiece had as much influence on me as any book I have ever read.
- Short on know-how? The person who knows “how” will always have a job. Lesson two: The person who knows “why” will always be the boss.
Mackay’s Moral: Some people rebound from a firing setback because they are destined to. Most people rebound because they are determined to. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

IOWA CITY, Iowa – If you can bring yourself to look beyond the physical and mental abuse, beyond the threats and intimidation and beyond the dishonesty that is so much a part of the Urban Meyer controversy, you’ll see a ray of sunshine.
You’ll see that while Urban Meyer apparently hasn’t changed since he left the University of Florida under mysterious circumstances, the world around him has changed, and for the better.
A case of domestic violence that might have been swept under the rug 10 years ago or settled under self-serving circumstances, now could lead to the demise of a coaching legend.
If it is proven that Meyer allowed former assistant coach Zach Smith to stay on his staff at Ohio State despite knowing that Smith had a history of domestic violence, Meyer will almost certainly be terminated and his legacy tarnished forever.
As Bob Dylan wrote in his classic 1964 song, “The Times They Are A Changin,” and that now pertains to college sports, and to sports in general.
The days of turning a blind eye to domestic violence for the sake winning, or as part of damage control, are finally coming to an end because the victims in these cases refuse to take it anymore.
They’re fed up with cover-ups and false narratives, and with putting winning above everything else.
The fact that Smith is the grandson of former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce adds another delicate layer to this controversy because Bruce was a mentor to Meyer and he helped launch Meyer’s coaching career.
I watched at Big Ten media day as Meyer denied any knowledge that Smith had been accused of domestic violence in 2015.
“I was never told about anything,” Meyer said. “Never anything came to light, never had a conversation about it. So I know nothing about it. I asked people back at the office to call and see what happened, and they came back and said they know nothing.”
Smith’s ex-wife said to reporter Brett McMurphy that she told Meyer’s wife about the abuse and that it was common knowledge amongst the assistant coaches’ wives at Ohio State.
Urban Meyer was put on paid administrative leave on Wednesday, and that is often the first step in what ultimately becomes a termination.
Meyer's wife, Shelley Meyer, also could be in trouble if she failed to report the alleged abuse to her superiors. Shelley Meyer works as a registered nurse and as an instructor of Clinical Science at Ohio State and is required under contract to reports cases of abuse.
The cocoon that once shielded college head coaches from the real world, and the consequences that come with it, is being removed for the sake of transparency and for the sake of common decency.
Meyer doesn’t seem to realize that, or he is just so caught up in his own world and with protecting his legacy that he didn’t care enough to change.
The same was said about Joe Paterno, whose once-proud legacy was destroyed by the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal, and rightfully so, because Paterno didn’t do enough to help stop a pedophile from preying victims.
Head coaches demand that their student-athletes be accountable, but some head coaches haven’t held themselves to the same standard.
But now some head coaches, who at one time seemed untouchable, are paying a stiff price because the circumstances have changed for the better.
Being an elite coach doesn't mean you're invincible anymore. It doesn't mean that you are the judge and the jury and that what you says goes without any resistance or consequences.
It appears that Urban Meyer had a chance to help stop a habitual abuser, or at least make him accountable, but he failed to do so for selfish reasons.
There was a time when Meyer's alleged conduct probably would have been excused or kept in house, but fortunately, those times are gone.
And now Meyer soon could be gone. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dangerous Foods for Consumption but we like to taste delicious. Gourmet suggestions are something for which we are willing to give a small sum in an expensive restaurant. But before you take a romantic dinner to someone you love, it’s a good idea to find out which foods the food experts will never taste.
The list was made by lawyer and specialist Bill Marller, who over the last two decades has earned over $ 600 million for his clients who have been the victims of food poisoning. He dearly shares what those foods that neither nutrition experts nor he, nor you need to try.
Raw oysters are considered aphrodisiac and delicacy. But this was so before Global Warming and the change it causes to ecosystems. The warming waters of the world’s ocean are an excellent environment for the development of a growing microbial population that is postponed … just like in oysters, mussels and all other shellfish delicacies.
Sliced and washed fruits and vegetables
Service commitments and a short lunch break make more and more people reach for the pre-washed and cut fruits and vegetables that are available in outdoor trolleys, parks, supermarkets, and more. But by buying such fruits and vegetables, you do not serve health, but you put it at risk, and it is not so small.
The number of people who have been affected by your food is unknown, and the chance that one of them will have some unpleasant bacteria – enormous.
Modern salad with sprouts has already found a place on your table, but are you aware of the risks they can bear. Statistics show that germ infestations have become more and more common in the past 2 decades. Bacterial outbreaks found in otherwise delicious and useful sprouts are usually e-car or salmonella type, so we recommend that you next bet on a classic Shopa salad.
Different culinary formats often show how people are happy to eat meat, which is literally sealed only at the edges, and in the middle is harsh. Unfortunately, however, for those who prefer the stack back, if you keep your health, you should not try anything harder than a well-prepared stack or medium-well.
Nutritional experts are certain that at less than 71 degrees Celsius bacteria that cause salmonella or e-coli infections do not die and this poses a serious health risk. Raw eggs. Here, it is important to note that the risk of Salmonella contamination is now a few times lower than years ago when consumption of raw eggs has been the basis of several salmonella epidemics but still exists. So do not compromise your health by eating raw eggs.
Unpasteurized milk and juices
Even if you are a supporter of raw food, you think that pasteurization kills its nutritional value, do not impose its philosophy on others, listen to the scientific arguments in the opposite thesis. It is important to note that the pasteurization process not only does not reduce the nutritional value of milk or juices, but also destroys harmful bacteria that could harm the health of consumers. And while pasteurization is not dangerous, raw drinks can be very dangerous to your health because they are at risk of getting parasites, different viruses or bacterial infections. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Aaaaand that’s the end of the buffer. Next week’s strip will be the first in a long while that wasn’t drawn weeks in advance of publication. It will only be drawn “week” in advance. In the time between this strip and the last one I drew, I forgot how to draw Buster Pallas. That’s a regular occurrence when I return to a comic after taking a break from drawing it, but in this case the only thing I could remember was that his head was shaped like a ham. I also usually have to remind myself how to draw the ridiculous Richard the Lionheart robe.
Remember, next week’s update will probably be on Tuesday, as Monday I’ll be flying home from Yukomicon, where I’ll be a guest. If you’re in Whitehorse (are any of you in Whitehorse? I have no idea where any of you are from. Or if you really exist), you should come say hi, and buy the lovely new Hockeypocalypse trade paperback.

Our men's premium fisherman pants are artisanally made using traditional Thai techniques. They are chemical-free and instead derive their coloring from natural plants and stones native to Northern Thailand.
The material used is 100% organic cotton which is at once soft and durable. This handcrafted product has received a 4-star certification from the Thai government under the OTOP scheme which aims to promote rural traditions, entrepreneurship and certify authenticity.
Like all Thai fisherman pants, they have no buttons or zippers and are instead adjusted by folding and tying the waist. If you are unfamiliar with these types of pants we recommend you visit our how to wear fisherman pants guide.
Handmade using a traditional handloom these wrap pants are made in small batches using local techniques. Rocks and stones found at the foot of the mountains of Jom Thong are what provides the mineral coloring with which the cotton is dyed. The color is then fixed using banana stems via a technique long known to the village but that remains a local secret.
The whole process can take a number of days to finish. This is why the price tag is higher than our standard fisherman pants
Always Vegan & Fair Trade
We use plant-based dyes in the production of these fisherman pants and abide by the principles of slow fashion and fair-trade. All materials are sourced locally and we aim to reward rural communities by raising incomes while preserving traditions.

The White Desert stands out as one of Egypt’s most captivating destinations, offering an unforgettable landscape where the golden hues of the desert sand meet the brilliant white rock formations. This natural phenomenon creates a striking contrast that sets the White Desert apart, making it a must-visit location for anyone exploring Egypt.
Situated approximately 370 kilometers west of Cairo, the White Desert is a key attraction within the Farafra Depression. In recent years, it has drawn increasing numbers of travelers eager to experience its otherworldly beauty. In recognition of its significance, the White Desert was officially designated as a Natural Park and Protected Area in 2022.
The Geology and History of the White Desert
The Farafra Depression spans an area of about 300 square kilometers, lying between the Bahariya Oasis and the small town of Farafra. The history of the region stretches back to the Paleogene period, around 70 million years ago, when the area was covered by a shallow sea.
Over millions of years, layers of sedimentary rock composed of limestone and gypsum built up on the seabed, contributing to the gradual retreat of the Atlantic Ocean’s waters. This ancient marine environment eventually vanished due to extensive wind erosion, leaving behind the desert landscape we see today.
Evidence of this prehistoric sea can still be found in the form of marine fossils scattered throughout the area, including shells, fossilized corals, and even shark teeth—remnants of a time when the region was submerged beneath the waves.
Historical accounts suggest that this part of the Egyptian desert was the site where the army of Persian King Cambyses II mysteriously disappeared, adding an air of intrigue and mystery to the region’s allure.
During Egypt’s Late Period, the Persians took control under the 27th Dynasty. Their rule was unpopular among the Egyptians, which fueled Persian King Cambyses II’s ambitious attempt to extend his empire in 524 BC by crossing the Sahara Desert. His goal was to reach the Oracle of Amun at Siwa. The king set out with an army of 50,000 men, but they seemingly vanished into the desert sands.
The account of this mysterious event comes from the Greek historian Herodotus, who suggested that Cambyses II chose a hazardous route through the oases to reach Siwa undetected and catch the enemy by surprise.
However, this plan did not unfold as intended, and the army disappeared without a trace. The question remains: what actually happened to this massive force? Several theories have emerged over the years, bolstered by more recent archaeological discoveries in the region.
According to Herodotus, a violent sandstorm may have overwhelmed the army, wiping them out entirely. While it is plausible that the Ghibli, one of the world’s fiercest desert winds, could have played a role, no concrete archaeological evidence had been found to support this theory—until relatively recently.
In 2009, Italian archaeologists Angelo and Alfredo Castiglioni uncovered some Achaemenid-era artifacts, including skeletal remains, weapons, helmets, earrings, and bracelets, south of Siwa. Yet, the amount of material discovered was not enough to account for an army of such a large scale.
Then, in 2014, Egyptologist Olaf Kappee made a discovery that shed new light on the mystery. He found an inscribed block from an ancient temple at the Dakhla Oasis that bore the name of Petubastis III, an Egyptian ruler. The inscription suggested that Petubastis III had defeated Cambyses II’s forces in the desert.
This revelation points to the possibility that Cambyses’s army may not have perished due to natural forces but was instead decimated in a military defeat. Several months later, Cambyses’s successor, Darius I, returned to the region to crush Petubastis III, perhaps as a response to this earlier loss.
The theory posits that the Persians, unaccustomed to admitting defeat, may have perpetuated the legend of a vanished army to conceal their loss to the Egyptian forces led by Petubastis III. This explanation, backed by archaeological evidence and historical accounts, offers a plausible solution to one of ancient history’s enduring mysteries. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Managing group expenses while traveling is one of the most annoying human activities. You often forget who paid for what; there’s so much math involved, and it gets even more complicated when some expenses don’t have to be spread evenly across the group. Luckily, apps like Splitwise have become one of the most popular tools for managing group vacation expenses.
PayPal has announced that it is introducing an easy and free way to collect or contribute funds to the app. Starting today, users can create a “pool” and add people to it. Pool members can use it to manage group spending while traveling, so you and your friends don’t have to spend an hour doing the math on the last day. The company says it should also be useful in group gifts, where everyone has to contribute to a shared gift. The feature should also be useful for agreed-upon shared expenses, such as rent and utilities, that are shared between roommates.
Here’s how to create a joint fund in the app. Go to the app menu and select “Money pool” or find the “Additional options” menu in the “Send/Request” tab to create your pool. Next, give it a name, description, target date, and an optional amount. Then share the pool link with your group via text message, email, or WhatsApp, among other options. Your group can then donate directly to the pool using your link. Once the funds are sorted, click “Transfer” on the pool page to transfer them to your PayPal balance.
Splitwise has long been a popular app for this purpose, but it does have some limitations. First, it’s built on a freemium model, which means you can use the most basic features without paying, but you have to subscribe to a paid plan for advanced features. It’s annoying that the “advanced features” include something as basic as adding more than three expenses to a group during the day. The new PayPal feature is completely free.
Secondly, third-party applications such as Splitwise require account registration. PayPal’s pooling features work even for non-PayPal users. The pool organizer is the only person who has an account, but they can invite anyone to join the pool.
In addition, the money in your PayPal app can be used without going to the bank. You can shop in-app for a long list of participating retailers. In special pooling apps, the money transferred to you will not be used until you manually transfer it to your bank account. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A Future in Finance and Tech, Built on Foundations of Family
Gerelt Oyunbold (BEcon&Fin)
Gerelt is a young year one student from Mongolia whose unique background and passion for economics and finance set him apart from his peers as he begins his journey at the University of Hong Kong.
He grew up in a loving environment, but one particular childhood memory has left an indelible mark on his life. Each morning, his mother would recite a poem during their car ride to school. Key lines from it became his guiding philosophy: “Through bites endured, the pup’s wolfish might. Obstacles embraced, the boy claims King’s glory.” These lines instilled in Gerelt the belief that every difficulty in life serves a purpose, who observes that, “Whenever I hit an obstacle or face some tough difficulties, I don’t sweat mistakes. They’re like signposts pointing me to something brighter down the road.”
Upon arriving at HKU, Gerelt faced his first unexpected challenge: the university graded on a curve. This was a departure from his expectations, but he saw it as just another obstacle to overcome. As a freshman studying economics and finance, Gerelt thoroughly enjoys his coursework, acknowledging that, “So far my studies have been going pretty smoothly because I chose this course out of my own interest.” That interest began when he started an online business in 2020, which he eventually had to suspend due to financial constraints. Despite the setback, he saw it as the first step in his entrepreneurial journey and a valuable learning experience.
Gerelt’s dream is to establish his own fashion brand, merging art and technology into a unique concept, while incorporating technology – and potentially trading assets or NFTs – into his brand. While he recognises this dream might be unconventional, he is ready to make unexpected choices.
Gerelt’s approach to success is different from most. He defines it as the sense of peace he experienced during his gap year – a feeling of being relaxed and free from the constraints of deadlines and obligations. He emphasises, “Success would mean something like how I felt during my gap year – a feeling of being relaxed.” For him, success lies in the process, not just the results.
Gerelt’s message to his future self is a reminder to stay true to his roots and always prioritise family, as they are the foundation of his success. He shares his wisdom, saying, “Just don’t forget about who you were and always take care of your family.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
On 24 January, His Excellency Mr Jüri Ratas, Prime Minister of the Republic of Estonia, visited CERN for a tour of the site and facilities.
The Republic of Estonia has been an active member of the CERN community since joining the CMS collaboration in 1997. The country operates a Tier-2 Grid computing centre in Tallinn, and a team of Estonian scientists has joined the TOTEM experiment.
After being welcomed by three of CERN’s Directors – Frédérick Bordry, Martin Steinacher and Eckhard Elsen – who introduced CERN’s history and activities, the Prime Minister was given a tour of the ATLAS underground experiment area, before signing the guest book (see photo).
The Prime Minister was joined by his staff, representatives of the Permanent Mission of Estonia to the UN in Geneva, and two Directors from the Estonian National Institute of Chemical Physics and Biophysics. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As part of my summer holiday, after visiting Kep, I hired a taxi to another beach town. It took me roughly two hours from Kampot Pippali boutique hotel to Sianoukville by private cab. Along the road, I had personally witnessed many traditional cambodian houses along the national road 3 (quite a bumpy ride, I must admit). Right after arriving sihanoukville, I went to an old town and a flagship Samudera super market (according to the local, this shopping center was established since 1990s and a popular shop for European and recently the Chinese). When asked for a place to chill out in the afternoon, one of Samudera’s staff suggested PapaPippo which is located in Otres 1 beach for its location that is nearer to an open public beach. And hence off I went and read on for my thought about this Italian bistro and bungalow.
PapaPippo Italian bistro Menu
Let’s start with the menu since I went there for an afternoon snack. What I had was a black coffee and a salami pizza. After that I had my coffee late (not really my taste but well, it is worth it for the price).
As the name suggest, this is an Italian restaurant and therefore, it offers the traditional Italian food such as pizza, homemade gnocchi and tiramisu. I would rate their pizza and tiramisu of 8 out of 10.
Otres Beach Accommodation
Papa Pippo is located in Otres 1 beach. It has several beach shacks for rent. When asked for the price, the staff mentioned 12USD per night for a complete hut non-airconditioned right in front of the beach. It is fully furnished and is decorated in a beach hut theme. It has running water, good standard toiltet (not the usual Khmer style toilet in far reached village). All in all, Papa Pippo would be a good choice for many backpackers who looks for a reasonable priced beach accommodation in Otres 1. Well, the price would reach 16$ if booked through online booking sites and as such, I would suggest to either give them a call first for a good deal. Oh, and this price would go up during high season too. In Cambodia, high season would refer to non-rainy period i.e. around November to June, I would say.
Otres beach bar
Besides offering the beach’s shack to its customer, Papa Pippo also offers many different type of cocktails in its cosy and friendly bar. When I was there, even during day light, its bar is full of European (barang as the local called them) tourists. It is quite a lively atmosphere.
Well, I wish I was there at night to experience how the night life is like at this bar.
Other beautiful scenes I witnessed at Otres beaches
Besides enjoying both the drink and pizza at this beach town, I have captured several beautiful sceneries which I like to share with you the following.
I am going to stay in Krong kampong som for another 2 weeks to enjoy the fullest my summer holiday in Cambodia. Mostly due to the weather as it has been raining cats and dogs in the past few days and hence I cant wait for the weather to be nice so that I can swim and perhaps go to the nearby islands. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Looked up a few I'm thinking about yesterday, and decided to go for a Arturia MiniBrute2.
It came bang on time today, and I immediately checked it out.
First impression was there's a bit of weight in it, as I lifted it out of the box.
You may think that a 2 octave synth is a bit of a joke, but I gave it a chance.
It is actually a really nice thing, with good quality keys, and generally a good experience in a small package.
Have not yet got the whole measure of it yet, but it was fun to play with, and it made some good sounds.
I would really like a MatrixBrute, and ran my fingers accross one some years ago, so the MiniBrute2 is just a taster.
It is a welcome addition to the arsenal. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

OH � May 2004 � With the peak summer driving season almost upon us, many
families may be concerned that record-high gasoline prices might take some
of the fun out of their summer vacations. TravelCenters
of America (TA), the nation�s largest network of full-service travel
centers, suggests that there are several easy, common-sense ways for everyone
to reduce fuel consumption on a road trip and still have money left over
to purchase an extra souvenir or two.
good fuel economy has always made sense, but with this year�s gas prices,
families and business travelers alike are more concerned than ever about
keeping their fuel costs down,� said Ed Kuhn, TA chairman, president and
chief executive officer. �Fortunately, there are many things a driver can
do to take at least some of the sting out of today�s prices, and to increase
safety at the same time.�
following tips can help anyone save money and be safer on the road:
safely. Speeding, rapid acceleration and frequent braking can lower gas
mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds. Gas mileage decreases rapidly
at speeds above 60 miles per hour. Excessive idling also wastes gas.
your car has cruise control, use it. Most drivers will be able to save
gas by using cruise control at highway speeds. However, cruise control
is not recommended for hilly areas, heavy traffic or slick road conditions.
sure your car is well-maintained. Getting a tune-up can improve gas mileage
by 4 percent or more. Repairing a faulty oxygen sensor can increase gas
mileage by as much as 40 percent. Replacing an old air filter can mean
a 10 percent improvement in gas mileage. Using the right grade of motor
oil can improve gas mileage by 1 to 2 percent.
tires properly inflated. Gas mileage can be improved by 3.3 percent if
tires are kept at their proper pressure.
driving during rush hour. On long trips, try to schedule rest stops and
meals during rush hours if you are traveling through well-populated areas.
Spending less time sitting in traffic will consume less fuel.
light. Every 100 pounds can reduce gas mileage by 1 to 2 percent. A fully
loaded roof rack can decrease gas mileage by 5 percent.
hope these guidelines can help families continue to enjoy the cherished
American tradition of traveling the nation�s highways during the coming
summer months,� Kuhn said.
TravelCenters of America
of America, headquartered in Westlake, Ohio, is the largest network of
full-service travel centers in the country, with 10,500 people at 150 locations
in 41 states and Canada. With 30 years of experience, TravelCenters of

Shillong, June 19: Following the collapse of the Executive Committee (EC) led by UPD MDC Titos Chyne on Monday, Pyniaid S Syiem files nomination, after scrutiny of his post for CEM goes uncontested.
The Executive Committee (EC) led by Chief Executive Member (CEM) of Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) Titosstarwell Chyne collapsed on the first day of session, on Monday.
This comes after after 17 out of 30 members voted in favour of the No-Confidence Motion tabled by NPP MDC Bajop Pyngrope.
Pyngrope said that the main reason behind this was that the CEM takes many decisions without consultation with the EC members.
With this collapse, Chairman of the Council Lamphrang Blah also said that the election to the post of chief executive committee will be held on Tuesday.
He also asked that nomination paper should be submitted to the secretary of the legislative on Monday and Scrutiny will also be held on the same day.

In the beginning, you and every other athlete start their endurance sports journey with the same step. But by tracking your day-to-day progress via a coach or coaching app such as Humango, you learn what type of endurance athlete you are and what training works most effectively.
For example, you may find that you have a diesel engine that allows you to go hard for hours throughout a marathon run or 100-mile gravel bike race, but you don’t have a gear that you can use to pull away from the pack at the finish line or on a hill climb. Or, you’ll discover that you have a race car engine with a gear that taps all-out power bursts repeatedly. Then again, your training might reveal that it’s easier to pull off hard workouts in the afternoon or early evening than in the morning or vice versa. No matter what you find, the right coach or coaching app will help you turn your athletic profile into a competitive advantage.
What Is a Competitive Advantage?
In short, anything that maximizes your strengths and optimizes your performance is an advantage. This is where coaches earn their pay. Their experience working with hundreds of athletes lets them tap a deep knowledge base that they apply to your training so you arrive at any race or event primed for peak performance. Consider them a shortcut that bypasses years of hit-or-miss learning you’d have to do on your own.
Humango’s AI coaching app will do the same, taking your training results and parsing the data daily to determine the right balance of hard intervals, long endurance work, and recovery. At its most granular, Humango helps you figure out the best warm-up protocol before a race. Do you need 10 minutes, or is 20 minutes necessary? You’ll figure out how much rest/sleep you need each night to perform your best the next day. From a mental standpoint, this guidance reduces stress and, more importantly, builds confidence. When you know you did the work to reach your peak form, it’s easier to trust your speed, fitness, and stamina on race day.
Tools To Gain an Advantage
First, get a coach to develop a personalized training plan for you. Next, make sure they can adapt it after every workout so no training session — or recovery period — is wasted. To do this, your coach will need you to track your performance via a coaching app like Humango that accepts data uploads from a GPS watch for running and a bike computer for cycling. At the very least, you should track speed, time, pace, distance, and heart rate. A watch that measures sleep cycles and HRV can help you and your coach determine how much rest you truly need. Cyclists can also add a power meter to their bike to measure the watts produced.
Analyze all these data points, and you’ll soon understand the what, when, and how of your best performance. This information lets you and your coach map out a race day strategy optimized for your physiology and psychology. Then, once you know precisely how to set yourself up for success, you’ll get the chance to enjoy the competitive advantage you have over everyone else. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Right now, there are over 5,700 Queensland families loving and caring for a child with a life-limiting condition. Sadly, this means that their child is not expected to reach adulthood. The emotional, physical and financial struggle for some families can be overwhelming. And the opportunity to stay connected – to their partners, other children, family and friends – almost impossible, as they navigate their roles as 24-7 carers.
Hummingbird House is Queensland’s only children’s hospice, and one of only three children’s hospices in Australia. We provide specialised paediatric palliative care services to babies, children and young people with a life-limiting condition, helping them make every moment precious when life is short.
Hummingbird House supports families right across Queensland and strives to provide true choice about when, where and how they receive our care. Families can choose to access our services at our purpose-built home away from home in Brisbane.
Since 2016, Hummingbird House has welcomed hundreds of families from right across Queensland into our warm embrace. Our vision is to be here for every eligible family that needs us, and ensure they are connected to a community that knows how to care for them; in life, death and bereavement.
Hummingbird House was built by Queenslanders for Queenslanders, and to this day relies on the generosity and support of the Queensland Government and corporate and community supporters to ensure our service is here for every family that needs us, at no cost to them.
What is paediatric palliative care?
Paediatric palliative care focuses on enhancing a child or young person’s quality of life through a holistic lens, which considers their physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing. At Hummingbird House, we do this by acknowledging the diversity and uniqueness of each guest, and supporting them to live their life to the fullest at every point along their journey, not just at the end of life. This means that we walk alongside some families for a short period of time, and some families for many years, continuously adapting our care and support to meet their needs. It also means that a child or young person may still be receiving active treatment for their symptoms or condition, which we can support.
What is a children’s hospice?
A hospice is a style of care, rather than a bricks and mortar facility, and aims to improve the quality of life of children and young people with a life-limiting condition. Hospice care can be carried out in the person’s home or in a home-like facility, so that every person important to the child or young person may be active participants in their life.
What is a life-limiting condition?
A life-limiting condition generally has no cure and results in a child or young person not living into adulthood (18 years of age). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Davina is an imaginative and strong-willed teenage girl who often escapes into a beautifully twisted fantasy life. Having grown up quickly as the sole caretaker of her disabled mother, she looks for salvation in a new relationship with an older boy. Davina is swept into a whirlwind of romance and adventure, but the enchantment of her new relationship quickly fades when his volatile side begins to emerge. I Believe in Unicorns takes us on a road trip through the stunning and complex landscape of troubled young love.
I Believe In Unicorns tells the story of an imaginative teenage girl who runs away from home with an older boy, but not even unicorns can save her now.
From Student Academy Award nominated director Leah Meyerhoff (Twitch), Oscar nominated producer Heather Rae (Frozen River), and Emmy Award winning executive producer Allison Anders (Gas Food Lodging), I Believe In Unicorns stars emerging talents Natalia Dyer, Peter Vack (Mozart in the Jungle), Julia Garner (Sin City 2), Amy Seimetz (Upstream Color) and the director's mother Toni Meyerhoff.
I Believe In Unicorns premiered in competition at SXSW, won the Grand Jury Prize in Atlanta and additional awards from Nashville, Woodstock, Anchorage, First Time Fest and San Francisco Film Society. It is supported by Tribeca All Access, US in Progress, Film Society of Lincoln Center, IFP Emerging Narrative Labs and the IFP Finishing Labs. I Believe in Unicorns was recently nominated for a Gotham Independent Film Award and received a Directing Award from the Adrienne Shelly Foundation.
This is a deeply personal film. I grew up taking care of my mother who has Multiple Sclerosis and has been in a wheelchair since I was two years old. For my debut feature, I returned to my childhood home and cast my mother to be in the film alongside a terrific young actress playing a fictionalized version of my younger self.
I Believe in Unicorns tells the story of a young girl who runs away from home and into the arms of an older boy, only to discover that their new life together is not the fantasy she had imagined. I believe it is important to tell stories with strong female protagonists and wanted to create a character who is raw, vulnerable, and acts based on impulses that she does not yet understand. Through an honest yet artful portrayal of a complex young couple in a difficult relationship, this film hopes to provoke dialogue and show other young people that they are not alone. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
With its holographic globe logo and sturdy layer of laminate, this laminate ribbon is ideal for any organization seeking to add another level of security to an ID badging program. The globe image, printed in holographic foil, is generic enough to be used in a variety of industries. The globe changes color in the light, providing clear visual verification of a badge's authenticity. The holographic elements can't be reproduced using a copier or standard printer, making counterfeiting cards virtually impossible.
The laminate layer provides an added bonus: the card's surface will be better protected from scratches, bends, light damage and more, making for a more durable, longer-lasting solution. Laminated cards won't need to be replaced as often as standard cards, saving your organization money.
Each roll of laminate features 250 imprints. A SMART 50 series printer with a lamination module is required for use.

From Sunstar Baguio we learn that Corazon Cortel-Balweg, widow of former rebel priest Conrado Balweg died of a heart attack last Monday. She is survived by five children the youngest of whom is still in elementary school. Our condolences to her family.
Corazon Cortel-Balweg, a New People’s Army (NPA) active amazon in the 1980s and widow of rebel priest Conrado Balweg, died Monday afternoon of cardiac arrest at Camp Upi in Gamu, Isabela.
Corazon, 48, and her group were on their way to the Philippine Army’s (PA) 5th Infantry Division camp to follow up and monitor livelihood programs for members of the Cordillera Peoples Liberation Army (CPLA) when she felt heart pains then collapsed.
Mrs. Balweg is the CPLA’s chief of staff, a position she held since the assassination of the rebel priest in his hometown in Malibcong, Abra on December 31, 1999.
Former Bucloc, Abra mayor Mailed Molina, the incumbent CPLA chairman, confirmed the death of Mrs. Balweg after receiving a call from Major General Melchor Dilodilo, commander of the 5th ID in Gamu.
Colonel James Jacob of Camp Upi in a text message said Mrs. Balweg died at 5:30 p.m. Monday.
According to Molina, Mrs. Balweg and her group were on their way from a field visit in Tabuk, Kalinga when Corazon complained of chest pains followed by vomiting. They were already at the army camp gate when she collapsed. She was rushed to the camp hospital where attempts to revive her failed.
Sources said the body of Mrs. Balweg will be transported to their residential house in Bangued, Abra and probably laid beside her husband at the Bangued Public Cemetery.
Mrs. Balweg left five children. The youngest is still in elementary.
Prior to her death, Mrs. Balweg and her team were monitoring livelihood projects downloaded to cooperatives of former CPLA members. She is also following up the additional integration of CPLA members to the PA.
Fr. Balweg broke away from the NPA and set up the CPLA. He entered into a peaceful agreement with government on September 13, 1987, which paved the way for the creation of the Cordillera Administrative Region.
Fr. Balweg opposed CPLA integration to government forces but after his death, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed Administrative Order 18 on August 3, 2001 which provided for the integration of 1,200 CPLA members as officers, enlisted personnel and Citizen’s Armed Forces Geographical Unit (Cafgu) active auxiliaries. At least 264 officers and enlisted personnel and three companies of auxiliaries were accommodated in 2001 but the livelihood component to accommodate 408 members never materialized.
Mrs. Balweg requested for additional CPLA integration slots, which was promised in December 2006 but was never implemented. The agreement, which is still subject to the approval of the President, commits to integrate 48 CPLA members in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) regular service. Five will become officers while 43 will become enlisted personnel. In addition, other CPLA’s will be accommodated in at least three companies in the Civilian Auxilliary Service or Cafgu.

Computation and the Humanities is a series of events at the GCLR investigating the impact of computation on literary and visual research. Guests include researchers, artists, and practitioners working within and beyond the digital humanities. On March 20th, we welcome Dr. Leonardo Impett, who is a University Assistant Professor in Digital Humanities and convenor of the MPhil in Digital Humanities at Cambridge University.
In this talk, Impett will introduce his current project, a new history of machine visuality. The stakes are multiple. In the spirit of histories of visuality, computer vision might tell us something about the dominant modes of thinking about vision over the last century. We might also want to learn something about the scopic regimes of machine vision systems because of their use in surveillance, automation, scientific research and so on. More broadly, Impett will argue that discourses and practices of visuality (and thus a set of only partially explicit theories about seeing) have been central to the invention and development of neural networks, and thus to contemporary AI more broadly, from chat-bots to audio systems. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Danyal and Mark Jones
Danyal and Mark Jones are the mother and father of Ragan Ashton Jones, who sent her to Resurrection Catholic School. The Joneses are not Catholic; they sent Ragan to Resurrection because of the quality of education it provides. Ragan is excelling at her new school and set herself the goal of being the class valedictorian by the end of the school year. Ragan and her parents are very comfortable with the religious atmosphere at Resurrection, where she has made new friends and where she is receiving the one-on-one math tutoring that she needs. The taxcredit program makes Resurrection affordable for the Joneses, although the program will not cover all of the cost of sending Ragan to Resurrection. The program has made it possible for them to move Ragan from a failing school where she was struggling to a school with a great reputation where she is thriving. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The team behind Pangu jailbreak has seemingly managed to find an “unpatchable” vulnerability in the Secure Enclave Processor (SEP) of the iPhones. If true, this could be a big deal as the SEP is used by Apple to store sensitive data such as Apple Pay details, Touch ID/Face ID data, and more.
The Secure Enclave Processor is a completely separate chip from the rest of the system components and it does not allow apps access to data stored on it. This is done for optimum security so that a hacker is not able to gain access to sensitive data on your iPhone in case they are able to bypass the lock screen security. This Secure Enclave chip is found inside all iPads, iPhones, and Macs starting with the iPhone 5s, iPad 5th gen., and Macs with T1 or T2 chip. The chip had first made its debut inside the iPhone 5s in 2013 before Apple expanded it to its other products as well.
The Team Pangu has found an “unpatchable” vulnerability on the Secure Enclave Processor (SEP) chip in iPhones. https://t.co/9oJYu3k8M4
— Jinwook Kim (@wugeej) July 29, 2020
The Pangu team has not provided more details on this “unpatchable” vulnerability that they have discovered and whether the exploit can be used to read data from the SEP or not. The vulnerability affects all iPhones and iPads powered by A7-A11 Bionic chips which means iPhone X and older devices are affected by it. The vulnerability was patched by Apple in the SEP in A12 Bionic and newer chips.
This is not the first time that the Secure Enclave processor on the iPhones has been hacked but a real-world scenario where these exploits have been used has never been reported. The SEP is one of the reasons as to why the iPhone has top-notch security and what separates it from a hoard of Android devices in the market in terms of security. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Australia-based Management Resource Solutions, a mining service provider, says voluntary administrators have been appointed at five of its operating subsidiaries in relation to a debt facility it took on back in May.
Its subsidiaries – Holdings (MRS) Pty Ltd, MRS Services Group Pty Ltd, Bachmann Plant Hire Pty Ltd, MRS Property No 1 Pty Ltd and Management Resource Solutions Pty Ltd – have been affected by the move.
The appointment of voluntary administrators was made by Hermes Capital, a secured creditor that agreed to loan the company A$3.2 million ($2.2 million) back on May 1. This came after the company had acquired Alerion Consulting Ltd, a company focused on precision aerial mapping of open-pit mines and earthworks including volumetric calculations, railway maintenance, water erosion mapping and terrain modelling with full geo-referencing.
The A$3,2 million facility replaced the existing A1.5 million working capital facility provided by the vendors of Bachmann Plant Hire and a A$1.7 million BPH Rent to Buy facility. It saw the company pay out all the Bachmann Plant Hire acquisition vendor liabilities and all 19 pieces of equipment that were part of the ‘rent to buy’ facility.
MRS and its Australia financial advisers met with the voluntary administrators last week to ascertain their plans, with the administrators confirming it was “business as usual” for the operating companies, and that they had sufficient capital to trade the businesses while calling for options to recapitalise the businesses.
“The board of MRS has committed to the administrators to work with them to seek to bring about an end to the administration process as quickly as possible,” MRS said.
MRS is involved in plant hire, equipment repair, refurbishment and fabrication, mine rehabilitation, earthmoving, road construction and other support services to a wide base of private and public sector clients in Australia.
Back in July 2018, the company’s MRS Services Group secured a two-year contract (with an option for a one-year extension) at Glencore’s majority-owned Ravensworth coal mine in New South Wales. The scope of works included the provision of a turnkey solution for the rehabilitation works comprising of bulk push of overburden dumps using two Cat D11T dozers. This would see the MRS team deliver a final geo fluvial landform design for the operation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
East African nation Rwanda aims to create its own retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) to assert its significance in the global economy’s future landscape by 2026.
According to the National Bank of Rwanda, the CBDC would be a secure and convenient alternative to cash, potentially bringing more people into the banking system.
The deputy governor of Rwanda’s central bank, Soraya Hakuziyaremenye, discussed plans for a digital currency and its advantages for citizens in a recent interview with The New Times.
She highlighted that several African nations, like Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa, are already testing or launching their own digital currencies. She mentioned that Rwanda’s central bank has been collaborating with the finance ministry, and technology since 2022 to study these examples and explore a Rwandan CBDC.
Rwanda’s Central Bank Prioritizes Risk Assessment for CBDC
Their research highlighted the importance of understanding not just the technology involved, but also the potential risks of issuing a digital currency.
She explained that a CBDC would encourage competition and innovation within payment systems, supporting Rwanda’s goal of a cashless economy. Additionally, it would streamline international transactions. The central bank plans to take a measured approach to the CBDC, requiring government approval before proceeding.
The official emphasized that public adoption is crucial for the CBDC’s success. The bank doesn’t want to launch a digital currency simply for the sake of it; it needs to offer clear advantages for Rwandan citizens.
Rwanda’s CBDC Pilot to Test Technology and Design in a Controlled Setting
Rwandans have four more weeks to participate in the public discussion about the CBDC. After that, the central bank will move forward with a pilot test to assess its feasibility.
“That will allow us to test the technology, the design, and the speed on a small scale,” the governor said. “But there is also an aspect of cases where we want to test the technology in other countries, particularly in cross-border payments, this exercise will roughly take six months.”
The pilot test will involve a select group of people and businesses using the CBDC. This will allow the central bank to evaluate the technology’s smoothness, resilience, and effectiveness in managing potential risks.

The misinterpretation of Sikhism due to the ignorance about the knowledge of the tenets and doctrines of Sikhism, expounded in the hymns of the Sikh scripture i.e. Guru Granth Sahib has led to various misunderstandings about this youngest of world-religions.
Several Sikh Scholars during the Sikh reform movement, known as Singh Sabha Movement, tried to enlighten the adherents of the faith about the Real Path and discipline. But various currents and cross-currents have again caused the simple and faithful followers forget their Real Religion, because most of them are no more saturated with their great heritage.
Though the Sikhs have spread far and wide and many of them have settled in distant foreign countries, they and their children, under the impact of totally new environment and culture have become oblivious of their language, culture and heritage. The foreign scholars and missions are creating great misunderstandings regarding their faith.
This book has been specially written to give them the correct understanding about their religion. Our religion is an independent religion and not an offshoot of any other religion. It has its own metaphysics, ethics and mysticism. It does not believe in any gods, goddesses, angels and spirits. The realisation of the One Transcendental Lord Through the discipline of the Name, enunciated by the True Guru is its objective.
It is against ritualism, formalism and symbolism. It is the religion of the householders, who lead a balanced life of spiritual and worldly grandeur. It has no belief in idol-worship, caste and miracles. It abhors intoxicants. All the special features of Sikhism form part of this work.

Book: The RTI Story: Power to the People; Author: Aruna Roy with the MKSS collective; Publisher: Lotus Roli; Pages: 375; Price: Rs 495
This book pays homage to the saga of India’s RTI law.
The Right To Information Act has been the one law, which in modern times has been the bedrock of anti-corruption campaigns across the country, coming to the aid of citizens at large in India in their battles against graft and government excesses.
Like most mammoth changes, the story of the RTI, much before it started making a difference to the lives of millions of people across India and as a law became a threat to those in power, started in the most humble beginnings — as a book put together by Aruna Roy, co-founder of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) puts it, in a simple mud hut in Devdoongri village in Rajasthan’s Rajsamand district.
The book is a memoir-cum-textual tome to the RTI story, which, from its humble beginnings, became a “legislation that has arguably changed the contours of democratic governance in India”, which MKSS, according to Roy, “had the privilege to initiate and be part of the struggle that evolved into a powerful movement across India for the right to know”.
The book gives a detailed account of the trials and tribulations as well as the minor and major victories which the RTI warriors encountered in their journey spanning from 1987 to present day. It chronicles the movement from the time it was started by Roy, a former Indian Administrative Service officer, and her associate Nikhil De, when, along with a few villagers, took on the might of a local landlord to get their just daily wages from public works commissioned by the state government and implemented through ruthless and cunning private contractors.
The account also spells out how unity forged by villagers helped take on “copy book oppressor” Hari Tal Singh, of Rajasthan’s Sohangarh village. The story of the Goliath versus the proverbial Davids of Sohangarh and the success of the latter gave the yet-to-be-formed members of the MKSS the sense of belief that the spark lit at Devdongri had spread into a flame and there was a need for the seeds of the Sangathan to be sown.
“The struggle helped lay the foundation of the MKSS. There was a genuine recognition that coming together pays great dividends. No one had dreamt that the Thakur could be humbled. But a collective managed just that. It gave us great strength and taught us a lot. It underscored the power of collective strength. It led to the formation of the Sangathan,” Roy recounts.
Not that the initial struggle did not come with threats of physical violence and brushes with danger, as landlords, government officials and private contractors who had milked the system for years and had become “invincible” with time, came under scrutiny and opposition from the members of the newly formed collective.
While spelling out the journey of the movement, Roy also has a word of caution about the very real threats to the RTI law, which is aimed at enhancing transparency and fairness of governance and formally recounts the contribution of those who have been put to the sword because of their RTI applications, calling them “martyrs”.
“In contemporary India…plagued by a plethora of non-particpatory and unexplained policy and other decisions, the Indian government is using empty rhetoric in exchange for dialogue and consultation. There are no platforms for informed debate and dissent. Many serious questions concerning India’s economic and social ills remain unanswered. When questions are asked, users of RTI are annihilated; the number of martyrs to truth, the seekers of information, totals 56,” Roy says.
The book is an ideal resource for those who need to know more about a revolution that is alive and kicking. It is an information revolution which has the potential to discourage, if not thwart, the ravages of corruption and government excesses from affecting your lives. (IANS) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Infidelity Investigators conducted several periods of physical surveillance for Melanie in Sydney. Our team of Private Investigators gathered high quality photos and video of Melanie’s husband having an affair with a close friend of the family. Melanie confronted her husband and the family friend with the evidence and was able to get both of them to confess about the affair. Melanie’s husband promised that it would end so they could try and repair their marriage however Melanie did not trust him for obvious reasons given his past indiscretions.
Melanie booked an appointment at our Sydney office and provided our forensic technician with her husband’s phone for the purpose of conducting a forensic extraction to retrieve deleted text messages, images and call logs from the device.
The extraction was successfully completed and supplied to Melanie within 48 hours. The results from the extraction confirmed that they were still in contact with each other after several promises to end the affair.
It was clear to Melanie that her husband was not going to end the affair and she was forced to end the marriage and move on with her life.

I’d Love to Change the World
Everyone has a list of “man, I wish they’d make•” items floating around in their head. Some are practical, others selfish. While world peace and a cure for pain don’t seem to be coming down the pike anytime soon, perhaps a few smaller ideas might stick.
Large amounts of the world’s population live and die in areas without fresh water. In fact, lack of fresh water is one of the main factors contributing to deaths in less advanced countries. So why hasn’t someone figured out a cheap, easy way to take the salt out of ocean water? Some sort of filtering system that would make the Atlantic Ocean potable, hell, even if only for irrigation, would be a major boon for the world.
Next, the world (parts of it, at least) needs a truly intelligent computer. Not faster, not bigger, but smarter. I want to be able to actually talk to a machine and have it send e-mail. I want it to be able to understand my speech by learning it over a period of time. Instead of reading a list of prepared phrases into a bad microphone, you would wear a small device for a week or so that recorded your speech, and noted what actions occurred when you said something. Then, each night you’d download the day’s information into the computer, and it would analyze it, and begin to build a database of you on the machine. The wearable device would also be a transmitter, allowing you, when stuck in traffic, to e-mail a friend telling them you’re going to be late.
Develop an enzyme that eats all non-organic matter. Metal, coffee cups, “to go” boxes from Chinese restaurants, all of it. Spray it over landfills, dirty parking lots, you name it. Give it a week, let it reduce the junk to dust, and blow away. Of course, some jackass might load a C5 transport plane full of it and soak New York, but that’s a chance we’d have to take.
Someone needs to create a drug that allows, for brief snippets of time, one person to meld with another person’s mind. Imagine how great it would be to know why your child is crying, what your elderly parent is really trying to say, or what your girlfriend ACTUALLY wants you to do. Granted, this could get overused very quickly, and most likely would result in people feeling really rotten about what others think of them, but the pluses outweigh the minuses, in my view. Our judicial system could be overthrown in a fortnight, for example, just by asking the accused, “Did ya do it?” Of course, our Constitution protects persons from giving testimony that might incriminate them, but we’ve ignored the Bill of Rights before, no reason not to now.
Finally, invent some cheap little doohickey that creates a field of ambient sound that drowns out car stereos, your roommate’s TV, and idle chatter in restaurants. Equip emergency vehicles with a special tone that penetrates it, of course, but otherwise, allow people to live their life without aural pollution. My life would be much less stressful if I didn’t have to endure drum n’ bass rattling my teeth at two in the damn morning. Or the natterings of some yutz at the grocery on a cell phone.
Maybe none of these ideas are practical – who knows? But hell, somebody out there with some free time on their hands, get cracking! The world is waiting! ◼ | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Casino online is a popular form of gambling that lets players access a wide range of games from the comfort of their homes. The games offered vary, from classic slots to sophisticated table games. They are often available on desktop computers, but the best casinos also offer mobile apps and other devices that allow players to play anywhere. The best casinos also offer fast payouts and a number of banking options.
Choosing a reputable casino online is essential to ensure the safety of your money and personal information. Look for a valid license, which should be displayed on the website and mentioned in the help pages. The license should stipulate the regulations that the casino follows. It’s also a good idea to read the terms and conditions carefully before depositing any money. If you are not sure about a site’s legitimacy, ask a friend who has played there or research it on your own.
Online casinos typically offer a variety of bonus promotions. These may include reload bonuses, Game of the Week promotions, and loyalty program incentives. The bonuses are designed to encourage players to play more and earn additional bonus credits. Some of these bonuses are offered only at specific times of the year, while others are ongoing promotions that reward players for regular play.
Another factor to consider is the size and scope of a casino’s gaming library. A large selection of games is important for players, and the games should be varied and exciting to play. Some online casinos specialize in particular types of games, while others focus on a broad range of titles. A large portfolio of games will give players the opportunity to find the perfect match for their interests and skill level.
The most popular games on an online casino site are slot machines. These games are easy to play and provide a good chance of winning. Some of them feature a progressive jackpot that grows as people play the game. These jackpots can reach millions of dollars and attract many new customers. In addition to slots, online casinos also offer other traditional games, such as poker and roulette.
If you’re interested in playing at a real money casino online, you should first check that the casino is licensed and secure. A good way to do this is by checking its social media accounts for user complaints. You should also pay attention to how the casino deals with these complaints. If the casino ignores them, shifts the blame, or is hostile toward its players, steer clear.
Choosing the right casino online depends on your personal preferences and budget. You can play on a free account to try out the casino’s games before making any real money deposits. You should also choose a reliable internet connection and use a trusted VPN when playing online. This will protect your identity and prevent hackers from intercepting your data. Finally, it’s a good idea to speak to the customer support team to learn more about the casino’s games and policies. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Pervasive Displays (PDi), a world leader in e-paper displays, announces its ultra-low power displays (www.pervasivedisplays.com/products) have been incorporated into a pioneering Internet of Things (IoT) development board from Cypress Semiconductor Corp. that enables device designers to benefit from a human-readable screen requiring very low amounts of power. Created for use in a variety of IoT applications, such as fitness and health wearables, smart home and smart metering, the Cypress PSoC® 6 BLE Pioneer Kit helps engineers take advantage of the benefits of displays in their designs, without significantly impacting the power budgets.
Adding a display to almost any device including portable health monitors, utility meters and other connected monitoring and control devices, means designers can improve the overall user experience and offer exciting new features. E-paper displays use much less energy than a traditional TFT liquid crystal display (LCD), because they require no backlight and do not need to be refreshed constantly to maintain a visible image. The savings are striking: an always-on e-paper display, updated half-a-dozen times a day, can use as little as 0.001% of the energy of an LCD equivalent performing the same role. This means a device with an e-paper display can run for months or even years on a small battery.
E-paper displays also offer very wide viewing angles, and because they’re reflective, can be read in bright sunlight and by barcode scanners, unlike TFT LCDs.
Jim Davis, Director of Marketing for the MCU Business Unit at Cypress, said: “PSoC MCUs have always been differentiated by the rich design resources of their analog and digital software-defined peripherals. As a market leader in e-paper displays with a ready supply of high quality screens available off-the-shelf, Pervasive Displays was the ideal partner to implement the display on our PSoC 6 BLE Pioneer Kit. This board gives our customers the best of both worlds: the processing performance combined with an ultra-low power architecture and the flexibility to design differentiated IoT applications.”
Scott Soong, CEO at Pervasive Displays, added: “Many people have already enjoyed the benefits of e-paper displays in their e-reader devices, notably their exceptionally low power use and reflective nature, which makes them easily readable even in very bright lighting. Displays used in IoT applications require similar properties, as they will often need to operate for very long periods on a small battery, and be easily readable in a variety of lighting conditions. A Pervasive Displays e-paper display is the ideal solution for anyone wanting to add a human-readable screen to a battery-powered, connected device.”
Designers wishing to purchase the Cypress PSoC® 6 BLE Pioneer Kit can obtain them from distributors including Mouser, Digi-Key, RS Components, Future, Arrow and Farnell.

The onset of the twenty first century has brought many changes in the world including an unprecedented advancement in technology, widely spread communicational facilities and transformation in the transportation. To cover the miles of distance has become a matter of hours. Every sphere of life has become more complex with vast network of interconnectedness through various channels. Education is one of those spheres. Due to many international and national conflicts going on in different parts of the world, like Israel-Palestinian crises, civil war in Syria and terrorism of Boko Haram in Nigeria, many young people are turning to the peaceful parts of the world for the better quality education.
Since most of the international students travel from less developed or underdeveloped countries to the developed ones, they tend to find not very expensive education abroad. Europe has been a prudent choice of many students due to the frugality there in getting education in European universities. Here are the ten cheapest universities for international students to study in Europe.
Germany is the most lucrative place for the foreign students as education in Germany has been made free of any tuition fee both for national and international students. Germany has a quality education and its educational institutions compete globally with the universities in UK or US. Moreover, the living expenses in Germany are not very high as compared to other European cities like London or Paris.
Belgium is another country with the cheap education for international students and the cost of living is also not very high in the cities of Belgium. The tuition fee for international students in Belgium is around $1000 annually while the living cost is relatively low with high quality of living.
The Hungarian universities are affordable for the international students with the low tuition fee. The universities also offer different scholarship programmes for international students. Moreover, the overall living expenses are also not very high as compared to other countries. The average tuition fee is around 1000 euro per year.
Whether it is Roma, Florence, Milan or any other city, Italy provides an affordable range of education for foreign students. It is a best place for the study of history, arts, fashion or photography. The cost of living is also amiable with a delicious Italian cuisine at the door. The average tuition fee is 1000 euro per academic year in Italy.
There are lower tuition fee for both the national and international students in France. Paris has been the best favorable city for the students for the last 2-3 years though the cost of living is relatively high in Paris than the other French cities. Average tuition fee is $1000 annually.
The tuition fee for the higher education has been made free for both the international and local students in Finland. So the international students can get the quality education with no fee at all. However, the cost of living is relatively high in Finland with approximately 500-800 euro per month.
Education in Austria is free for the EU students and the students from the least developed or underdeveloped countries. There is no tuition fee for the students in war torn countries like Syria or Afghanistan. Cost of living is also affordable in Austria.
There is no tuition fee in public sector universities in Norway both for local and international students except for a 50-100 dollar token per semester. However, the cost of living is higher in Norway as compared with the other European countries with 1200 euro per month.
The international students have to pay the tuition fee in Sweden except the EU students. The cost of living is also high in Sweden as compared with other European countries. However, the tuition fee for the PhD programmes is free for international students too. The average tuition fee in Sweden is around 8481.28 Euros.
The universities in Ukraine are one of the cheapest in offering Medical or Engineering programs for the foreign students with no requirement of IELTS etc. The cost of living is low in Ukraine with the good quality of living. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Day 4 saw India reach 344 for 3, thanks to 113 runs scored in the morning session by Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant. By lunch on Saturday, October 19, the gap had been reduced to 12 runs. Rain forced an early stop to the session, leaving 105 minutes of play viable. In that time, Sarfaraz achieved his first Test century while Pant amassed yet another half-century.
In the second over of the day, Sarfaraz did not waste any time in getting going, hitting William O’Rourke for two boundaries over the slips before dabbing Matt Henry into a gully for another. In the overs that followed, Pant quickly joined the act, and the boundary-fest carried on.
The choice to test Sarfaraz with an outside the offstump line proved to be ineffective as he amassed a century with a punch through cover while utilizing dabs, flicks, lofts, and uppercuts to great advantage.
Before cutting Tim Southee through point and cover, Pant, who had been playing second fiddle up until that moment, got things started by muscling him for a straight six down the ground. He went for the left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel, giving him a more brutal treatment. Even though Sarfaraz had adopted a little more conservative strategy, he still managed to maintain a solid scoring rate by smashing two sixes and a four in one over.
Day 4 began 48 minutes later, with Ajaz keeping Sarfaraz quiet, and New Zealand delivering the first maiden over of the day. New Zealand thought they had a chance, but these were rare occasions. A few legbefore pleas were made, and there was a brief misunderstanding between Pant and Sarfaraz, but luckily nothing serious happened for the hosts.
Brief scores: New Zealand 402 (Rachin Ravindra 134, Devon Conway 91; Ravindra Jadeja 3-72) leads India 46 and 344/3 (Sarfaraz Khan 125, Virat Kohli 70, Risabh Pant 53; Ajaz Patel 2-100) by 12 runs. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

On today’s Intelligent Money Minute, we’ll interview Larry Swedroe on how academics converting alpha into beta make outperformance difficult. Prior to 1992, only active managers had exposure to market beating stocks. In this episode, Larry details the history of alpha and outperformance and what changed for passive investors. He refers to a white paper titled, The Cross-Section of Expected Stock Returns written by Fama and French. This paper altered the landscape of investing because of it’s 3 factor model. Now passive investors have the ability to gain exposure to the same markets in a much more tax efficient manner.
At Intelligent Investing we believe that Asset Allocation, or the long-term mix of stocks, bonds, and cash is the primary determinant of the variation of returns a client can expect.

What is Main Home?
How Does Main Home Work?
For example, let's assume John Doe buys a house in Austin, Texas, for $150,000. He moves in in April and stays there for six years. Then he sells the house for $225,000, creating a
of $75,000. Because John lived in the house for most of the and it was his primary residence, the house is his main home. Accordingly, the $75,000 on his home is not taxable. Now let's say that John Doe buys a second home in Austin for $100,000 and rents it out to Jane Smith. He gets sick of being a landlord and sells the house for $125,000, for a $25,000 . Because this house is not his main home, the $25,000 is probably taxable.
Why Does Main Home Matter?
As you can see, identifying a person's main home has tax consequences. Main homes can be houses, but they can also be houseboats, mobile homes, co-ops or condominiums. The IRS requires to live in their main homes for at least two years during the five-year period ending on the date of the to avoid taxation on a certain amount of (typically $500,000 for a couple). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Simon Ekpa, a Finnish-Nigerian separatist agitator has been arrested in Finland over terrorist related activities.
According to BBC Pidgin, the self-declared Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile was remanded in prison by the Päijät-Häme District Court on suspicion of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent.
According to the report, Ekpa’s was arrested by the Central Criminal Police in Finland confirmed in a statement on its website on Thursday.
The police said four other individuals were also arrested on suspicion of terrorist crimes.
The police said the main suspect was arrested “on suspicion of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent”, while four others were arrested “for financing a terrorist crime”.
The police added: “Claims will be heard in Päijät-Häme district court today, November 21.”
The statement reads, “The detention demands are related to the preliminary investigation, in which a Finnish citizen of Nigerian background, born in the 1980s, is suspected of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent.
“The police suspect that the man has promoted his efforts from Finland by means that have led to violence against civilians and authorities as well as other crimes in the region of South-Eastern Nigeria.”
The statement quoted the head of the investigation, Crime Commissioner Otto Hiltunen from the Central Crime Police as saying that “the man has carried out this activity, among other things, on his social media channels”.
“Four other persons are suspected of financing the aforementioned activity. All five suspects of the crime have been arrested during the beginning of the week.
“International cooperation has been carried out during the preliminary investigation,” the statement added.
There have been calls for the arrest of the separatist following his alleged involvement in the Sit-At-Home that has negatively impacted economic and social activities in the Southeast.

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has noted that peace and security will remain elusive across Nigeria if the majority tribes, and those who think they have dominance over others continue to marginalise them.
Governor Wike asserted that for there to be an enduring future for Nigeria, all Nigerians must see themselves as equal stakeholders in the project called Nigeria.
He spoke on Tuesday at Government House in Port Harcourt when the management of New Telegraph Newspaper, led by the Managing Director and Editor- in-Chief, Mr. Ayodele Aminu presented its letter nominating him as the Political Icon of the Year, 2022.
“The problem in this country today is not only as a result of the banditry or kidnapping, no. Part of the issue that has to do with security is the issue of marginalisation.
“And I continue to tell our people or those who believe that they are dominant, you need peace for you to preside over those who you think do not have the number. You need peace. If there is no peace, it will be difficult.”
Governor Wike took a retrospect of how things stand in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and said it is evidence of marginalisation of a section of the country.
He observed that because the zoning principle has been jettisoned in the PDP, coupled with the lack of seriousness to allow for inclusivity, convincing Nigerians to believe that the party can rescue the country is becoming a more difficult task.
The governor insisted that blackmail cannot diminish the demand for the national chairmanship position to be relinquished to the South. According to him, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, the national chairman of PDP, had promised to resign his position should the presidential candidate of the party emerge from the north.
“He made that commitment because he knows that it will not be equitable, there will be no fairness and justice if the presidential candidate comes from the same zone with him. And people are trivialising the issue. Why do you trivialise the issue?”
Speaking further, the Rivers State governor reaffirmed that his allies are resolved to continue the demand for the return of the national chairmanship position to the South.
Governor Wike maintained that Dr. Ayu is corrupt, because he has not been able to account for the N11B realised from the party’s primary, and N100 million he got from a governor.
“If you like abuse us the way you want to abuse us, but we will stand by what we have said. If you say you will not relinquish that position to the South, no problems. Go ahead, but you can’t force us to do what we think is not right, we will not do it. So, this kind of man cannot, in all honesty, take this party to any victory. He cannot.”
Governor Wike berated Mr Dele Momodu, former presidential aspirant of the PDP for trivialising the issues affecting the party and seeking cheap recognition.
“All these professional praise singers and beggars who have nothing to offer, just to rally round the presidential candidate, looking for what they will eat, are beginning to abuse people. Those who even contested the primary without one vote are those who are talking. A presidential aspirant becoming a spokesperson to a presidential candidate.”
Governor Wike alleged that Dele Momodu is also an unstable character whose words cannot be taken seriously.
The governor also blamed the media as being part of the problem of Nigeria because they have lost the courage to speak truth to power and hold leaders accountable.
He wondered why the media was bold to speak against former president Goodluck Jonathan and have now lost sincerity of purpose to hold people in position, and those jostling for public offices accountable of what they say and do.
In his speech, the Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief of New Telegraph Newspaper, Mr. Ayodele Aminu said they had in 2017 awarded governor Wike the award as the governor of the year in infrastructure because of his contributions in Rivers and leadership in the PDP.
According to him, they have continued to follow his track records of performance, healthy politicking that has given true meaning to democratic governance in the country.
Mr. Aminu said they are delighted to have him as the winner of the award as the Political Icon of the Year 2022 because it fits no one else but him.

Adomaitis, Uy win Best Poster Award at AIChE Annual Meeting
“Physically based modeling for predictive simulation of a net-zero home,” by Professor Raymond Adomaitis and his graduate student Alan Uy, won the Best Poster Award in the Computing and Systems Technology Division at the 2017 AIChE Annual Meeting held in Minneapolis in October 2017. The research represented on the poster was undertaken in the context of the 2017 Solar Decathlon, in which the University of Maryland placed second overall and first among entries from the United States.
Maryland’s entry in the contest was the “reACT: resilient Adaptive Climate Technology” house. One objective of reACT’s design was the ability to adapt to both the location in which it was constructed as well as an environment that will change continuously over multiple timescales.
To maximize measures of sustainability, reACT had to be able to use or recycle low-value resources that would otherwise go to waste. Adaptability means self-awareness, and so reACT also had to be able to predict its state over a reasonable time horizon so that it could work with the homeowners on the best use of resources throughout the day, or to carry out those tasks autonomously.
Adomaitis and Uy developed a predictive physically based model of this Solar Decathlon house and demonstrated its utility in scheduling house resources.

MicroAI™ and MicroAI™ Helio help organizations achieve deeper insights into device and equipment behavior
DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ONE Tech, a global leader in edge AI technology, today announced its strategy to help organizations reduce operational inefficiencies, improve industrial production, and enhance security and privacy to IoT applications through an advanced portfolio of edge AI software solutions. The company’s award-winning MicroAI™ technology is used by enterprises and OEMs worldwide as a tool to achieve deeper insights into the behavior of devices, machines and processes within their organizations.
ONE Tech’s MicroAI is a sophisticated machine learning algorithm that lives directly on a targeted machine or IoT device and allows enterprises to eliminate unexpected downtimes associated with maintenance issues and cyberattacks. Unlike traditional AI solutions that originate or reside only in the cloud, MicroAI is configured and trained on the network edge. This enables real-time analytics and alerts that optimize asset performance, increase security and improve worker safety.
In a manufacturing environment, for example, there are thousands of sensors on hundreds of pieces of equipment that report in different data. Transferring all of that data to the cloud for processing and responsive action is time consuming, expensive and may compromise security. By training and processing at the edge, MicroAI eliminates those concerns.
ONE Tech has enhanced MicroAI with a new version called MicroAI Atom that runs directly on microcontroller unit (MCU)-based devices. This allows constrained compute devices to train and run AI models that they have not been able to run before. The result: deployments have lower associated hardware costs.
ONE Tech’s MicroAI™ Helio is ONE Tech’s Server that allows organizations to deploy MicroAI on multiple devices simultaneously, enabling performance benchmarking, health data visualizations, field service workflows and more. Helio is available in three tiers:
- Helio: Allows benchmarking across an organization’s equipment and devices by networking all its data into a single MicroAI hub. Enables features such as Lifecycle Management, Warranty Compliance Tracking and AI-driven Predictive Maintenance.
- Helio Advanced: Allows visualization across an organization’s equipment and device performance data on user friendly dashboards with built-in reporting capabilities. Enables additional features of Helio, and adds features including Device Management, Remote Monitoring and API Management, plus mobile access.
- Helio Enterprise: Allows an enterprise to optimize how it services its assets. Organizations can build workflows and event triggers that empower dispatch and technician teams to better respond to operational events while simultaneously improving the customer experience. Enables additional features of Helio, and incorporates capabilities such as Automated Dispatch, Fleet/Technician Tracking, Customer Feedback Loops, Service Contract Management and Sales Enablement.
ONE Tech has enhanced Helio with new capabilities that allow users to take data processed at the network edge to the Helio Server to be aggregated with data from existing IT systems for further processing and analytics. This allows more comprehensive data analysis to understand root cause of issues, makes, models or types of assets that are causing the most downtime.
“With MicroAI and MicroAI Helio, ONE Tech is providing enterprises and OEMs unprecedented insights into their most valuable data, and doing so in a way that is cost-effective and secure,” said Yasser Khan, CEO of ONE Tech. “These enhancements make the MicroAI solution much more powerful as enterprises continue to adopt IoT to have greater control over their operations and grow their businesses.”
ONE Tech is an AI company with solutions that sit at the real network edge and help enterprises, OEMs, telcos and network operators significantly optimize the performance of their equipment, machines and devices while ensuring the security and privacy of their IoT environment.

Great game, would be much better if I could play it here instead of the browser version. I find myself accidentally clicking the outside of the game window a lot of times and that lead to some cheap deaths, hopefully there'll be a full version on itch.io in the future!

A simple but well excuted concept, very addicting with the right amount of frustration that makes you go "just one more round". Would love to see a story mode where there's a goal in mind instead of just aimlessly hitting the high score on endless mode, hope to see a full release on Steam with achievement attached. A couch co-op mode would be awesome too!
Great concept, charming art style, and a cool soundtrack! I can easily envision this as a completed game, all it needs is a few more creative commands (i.e. shooting and jumping) and an undo button. Would love to see a full release of this game, it'd be perfect for handheld consoles and mobile.
A great idea with charming aesthetic that was sadly tainted with janky camera, clunky controls and unreliable obstacle detection :
1) Janky camera - the camera tends to make sudden shifts when turning corners, causing my lazer to shoot a diff direction
2) Clunky controls - wasd + mouse is a great choice for this game, but the cursor tends to get "wobbly" at times
3) Obstacle detection - I find myself bumping into invisible obstacles from time to time, it's as if my character's hit box is bigger than it seems
I understand this is made in 48 hrs, kudos for the devs for making this. But overall, my gameplay experience has been more frustrating than fun. Hope you guys improve upon this, I'd definitely be interested to purchase this as a full game. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Federal opposition insists the states must respect a mandate for nuclear power if Peter Dutton becomes prime minister at the next election.
A protest demanding an end to fossil fuel was held on Sydney Harbour today as Labor and the Coalition both insisted they could get power prices down.
While the boat passed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s residence, it was mostly viewed by police.
The federal government wants fossil fuel replaced eventually by wind, solar, hydro, batteries and some gas.
The opposition wants nuclear in the mix and states out of the way.
“If the Australian people send a strong message about having an energy mix rather than all renewables, I think they all want us to be the adults in the room and get on with what the Australian people decide,” Nationals Leader David Littleproud told Weekend Today.
Agriculture Minister Murray Watt responded.
“If Peter Dutton has to threaten the states and his own party members to support his risky nuclear plan – why should any Australians support that plan themselves?” he said.
The Senate, where the Greens and crossbench would likely hold the balance of power, is also a problem for the Coalition.
“There’s no threat – we’d rather be constructive – but if we get a mandate I think what the Australian people want is leadership,” Littleproud said.
Polling released this weekend showed support for nuclear was far lower among women.
The challenge for Dutton is that a majority of voters, majorities in both houses, the CSIRO and all the states all yet to be convinced.
“As well as opposing every one of our measures to take cost-of-living pressure off Australians, they have a plan to jack up power prices by more than eight times what people are currently paying,” Watt said.
Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie told Sky’s Sunday Agenda: “We’re absolutely committed to having a credible plan to net zero that keeps the lights on and the jobs here at home.”

Development of renewable energy sources, efficient industrial processes, energy/chemicals recovery from wastes are research issues that are quite contemporary. Bioelectrochemical processes represent an eco-innovative technology for energy and resources recovery from both domestic and industrial wastewaters. The current study was conducted to: (i) assess bioelectrochemical treatability of industrial (dairy) wastewater by microbial fuel cells (MFCs); (ii) determine the effects of the applied organic loading rate (OLR) on MFC performance; (iii) identify factors responsible for reactor energy recovery losses (i.e. overpotentials). For this purpose, an MFC was built and continuously operated for 72 days, during which the anodic chamber was fed with dairy wastewater and the cathodic chamber with an aerated mineral solution. The study demonstrated that industrial effluents from agrifood facilities can be treated by bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) with >85% (average) organic matter removal, recovering power at an observed maximum density of 27 W m−3. Outcomes were better than in previous (shorter) analogous experiences, and demonstrate that this type of process could be successfully used for dairy wastewater with several advantages. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Thomas Gutsjahr, who is employed as an assistent to the board of directors, in the Austrian Senior Experts Pool organization, travels two hours a day to and from work because he lives in the small town of Hochdorf near Vienna. But this is not a problem for him because he loves his job. Thomas is a trained cook who, after an accident, was forced to change his profession and adapt to new circumstances. It was a challenge to adapt and find something that suits me, but at the same time, I am proud to have succeeded. In his free time, he is also involved in fishing and mountaineering, and he believes that it is extremely important to combine work and any kind of health condition. When you find a job you love according to your health capabilities, it’s wonderful. Just like in my case. Office work is fun for me. His responsibilities at ASEP are numerous, and his openness and communicativeness make it easier for him to communicate with people daily. From this, he learned that talking about his condition empowers him and further educates the people around him, that despite his disability, he can work and be professional. | | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Why the NHS and the Housing sector need Internet of Things (IoT)
Harnessing IoT to Improve Living Conditions and Support the NHS
You must stay at home. The single most important action we can all take is to stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives. However, there are homes in the UK that are not suitable to live in.
Building Research Establishment (BRE) has calculated that the annual cost of poor housing to the NHS is at least £1.4bn.
Early adopters of Internet of Things (IoT) will already know that with the right sensors you can see things that help you make life changing decisions. As IoT continues to mature, IoT adopters are getting better at extracting value.
Condensation, damp and mould busted
IoT plays a pivotal role in the data we collect can make our homes a safer and happier place to live so we can enjoy it for generations. We know that if a home isn’t suitable because it creates isolation, its cold, damp, or not fitted to cope as we grow old. It can become a hazardous place to live. For people over the age of sixty-five that live alone, in poor housing conditions are at greater risk.
We started by looking into what we knew from the data we had today in relation to condensation, damp, and mould (CDM). We extracted data on our properties between April 2019 to April 2020 to see what trends existed.
- 168 properties reported CDM related issues
- 190 repairs were carried out
- 82% of issues were related to a flat
It was from this data that we started our journey into IoT. Humidity, temperature, and air pressure sensors can give you a level of insight that means you can predict and avoid complex repairs being needed. From this data we could also look at neighbours to see the temperature of the home. This could help us by understanding whether a household is also being impacted by fuel poverty.
A Modular Approach to IoT
From the outset we wanted a modular approach to IoT that would allow us to scale up over time. We started with understanding the type of communication channels available and the ones that would provide us with the information. Having identified BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) as being easy to install indoors, we set out to see what services were available to us.
We found that there was an Azure plug and play proof of concept kit from Rigado. This kit was the enabler to us being able to begin our very own PoC. Using the Rigado device templates and data exports from Azure IoT Central allowed us to focus on creating valuable data insights for the organisation.
Improving Housing Conditions with IoT Data
After installing the sensors, it didn’t take long for us to start seeing the data coming back. The IoT sensors provided temperature, humidity, and pressure readings. Using this data, it would help us to identify if there is insulation, ventilation, or heating issues. The sensors were fitted in areas where we knew there were already problems, but it was easy to see how these sensors could show us problems before they were reported to us. This level of insight gives us a far richer way to manage our properties and ensure that the people in our communities can live independently as long as possible.
Lessons from the Proof of Concept
From the data we extracted and analysed we were able to rule out that the property needing any remedial work. We continued monitoring for the types of conditions where condensation, damp and mould would thrive. The residents would no longer need to worry about the risks and the need to inform us of changes, as we would be alerted of any changes that breached thresholds.
We also used this story as a way to teach leaders and stakeholders within the organisation about the role IoT can play in helping them solve their problems. Azure IoT central made it easy to visualise and see the data from the sensors. Rigado offered a low cost, low risk way to prove the concept which meant the organisation didn’t need any convincing that we should pilot the technology in some real world problems we have today.
The real success of the project came when we had a senior leader approach us about a problem they had (post about this project to follow). Within a few weeks a small scale deployment was mobilised and they are now actively managing the technology integrator no differently to how they manage any of their other contractors.
It was because of the PoC and the level of data insights we could show the organisation, that sparked a new way of looking at how we can solve problems with IoT. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Paying my bills on time means teaching from 7 am to 3 pm. I may not be the cool teacher of music, but I am “Lit-Teacher” of English. Conveniently, at the turn of Spring Break, the Covid-19 pandemic hit, meaning socially distant learning.
Before COVID, young learners were struggling with tasks such as submitting assignments, and getting to classes on time, if at all. I’ve observed that students require facilitation and accommodations to guide them through task-completion. In the words of my 10th grade English teacher, Joel Lazarus, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”
Some of our students have not showed up to one online class. “Quarantine” has meant the closing of the physical schools, and requires students to take eight online classes. This is two or three times the number of web-based curriculum any student would take in one college-semester. Students have no choice but to independently read assignments without real-time guidance. Parents are observing their children struggle with reading, and our students are finding out the same thing about their parents.
A lot of guardians are unable to assist their kids scholastically.
But they are the only models these young people have available. Some of our students’ families emigrated to this country recently and are unable to speak the language the work is in. Others are remote worker bees who are succumbing to keep the roof overhead during the day. Families with parents employed as first responders and USPS employees may be leaving their child latch-key, limiting them to any engagement at all during the day. Students, parents, and teachers are all being disadvantaged by this experience.
These times are unparalleled to anything today’s teachers have experienced beyond the pages of Kurt Vonnegut and Orwellian literature. Administration says, “Unprecedented times…” require unprecedented measures from teachers. Some of these include insurmountable flexibility with accepting late work. Though students are assigned one or two tasks per teacher, weekly, there are no repercussions for students’ late assignment-submissions or resubmissions. This leaves the instructors swamped with a regular influx of grades to get in. These stresses have made a professional martyrdom out of teaching. It is not in a teacher’s nature to want to turn a blind eye on accountability, but this is the new norm. Humanity willing, the virtual landlords and bill collectors of 2040 will be just as lenient and lax as our alums’ teachers.
Students are being subjected to very stressful measures leading them to drop out like a miscarriage. Teachers’ altruistic tendencies are being taken advantage of by sensationalized times. Though we can only hope this distant learning experience is short lived, we need to get back to model learning for students. If socially distant education is the future for learning, Mike Judge will be our twenty-first century prophet. Like Nostradamus predicted the death of King Henry II. Mike Judges’ predicted the age of Idiocracy. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
