We are delighted to present pianist Jasmina Kulaglich in our ICONOCLASSICS series, in a programme entitled CHOPIN AND THE SLAVIC LANDS, featuring music by Chopin, Borodin, Glinka & Khatchaturian
ICONOCLASSICS features leading, critically-acclaimed classical musicians, more at home in the world’s great concert halls than in a café but all happy to break free from the conventional classical music scene. The small size of the venue creates a special connection between musicians and audience, and allows the musicians to present music in a more accessible and relaxed way.
Concert-goers can enjoy authentic Japanese food before the concert – please book via the venue 020 8487 1338
Café Yukari is an intimate, friendly venue close to Kew Gardens tube station. Concert-goers enjoy high-quality classical music in a convivial setting and a chance to mingle with other music lovers and meet the artists. Plus authentic Japanese food and a beautiful Fazioli grand piano!
Praise for 7 Star Arts concerts at Cafe Yukari:
“a truly uplifting evening- beautiful music and delicious food”
“What a charming experience …to listen to first-class music and eat delicious food while outside, beyond the fairy lights, commuters pour out of Kew Gardens Station” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I take the dog around the golf course and find treasure, a caution-orange ball nested like a motherless egg, parts of broken vape pens bright silver and white, and fallen feathers. The birds around here are always fighting, screeching electrically, dogfights ongoing, a war without statistics. I collect the feathers and stuff them in the Mother's Day mug too precious to drink from, the hawk’s luxurious rusty striations, the doves’ elegant dusky stripes. They sit by a collection of beach stones nested in the wooden plate I inherited from my gay best friend’s mother, who hated me for corrupting him, a delicious irony that still makes us smile. I can name their beaches of origin, recall the walks, soothe the complaints, applaud the handstands across estuary grit. Treekwend, we laughed though we forgot the binoculars as usual, each whale spout and set of flapping flippers money in our bank of reasons to keep living. My head will go the way of all flesh, and the stones will sink back into the sandy soil of wherever we happen to be living when I stop. You will remember me though; in the small bright objects you see when you’re not looking for anything, evidence of that greater love.

I ADORE Tina Fey. Not only is she an incredible writer, actor, and producer of some of my favourite TV Shows of all time, she’s also Amy Poehler’s best friend which gives her extra points.
While she’s known as being a complete goofball (for comedic purposes) it looks like she’s ready to show her full range.
‘A Haunting In Venice’ follows a retired sleuth reluctantly attending a seance before being thrust into a world of darkness, secrets, and murder.
The movie stars Kenneth Branagh, Kelly Reilly, Jamie Dornan, Michelle Yeoh and Tina Fey. TINA FEY!? It’s so wild seeing her cast outside her usual role of silly best mate but if the trailer’s anything to go off, she’s going to kill it.

A Washington state woman indicates that she developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma from Roundup weedkiller applications in a park near her home, indicating that Monsanto has withheld information about the potential cancer risks associated with their product for decades.
The complaint (PDF) was filed last week by Brandy Rhodes, of Vancouver, Washington, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.
Monsanto currently faces nearly 10,000 similar Roundup lawsuits being pursued by individuals nationwide, but nearly all of the other cases involve claims brought by agricultural workers, farmers, landscapers, groundskeepers and other consumers who directly sprayed the weedkiller. Rhodes indicates that she developed non-Hodgkins lymphoma from secondary exposure to Roundup sprayed near her home.
“Ms. Rhodes was exposed to Roundup for approximately six years while residing in La Center, Washington. The city of La Center routinely applied Roundup to the parks and greenery near Ms. Rhodes’ residence and the parks she visited with her children,” the lawsuit states. “In or about December, 2005, Ms. Rhodes was diagnosed with Stage IIA Nodular Sclerosing Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.”
The circumstances highlight growing concerns in a number of cities and communities that have liberally applied Roundup for years. Amid recent concerns that Monsanto’s herbicide is a human carcinogen, a number of municipalities have banned use of Roundup in parks, school grounds and other areas.
Although Monsanto has previously indicated that Roundup is safe, the World Health Organization’s International Agency on Research for Cancer (IARC) declared glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, to be a probable human carcinogen in 2015.
Roundup bans have been enacted or are under consideration in communities in California, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Maryland, with dozens of other governments considering similar action nationwide. In addition, several countries outside the U.S. have already taken steps to prevent or reduce use of the glyphosate-based weedkiller.
According to allegations raised in Rhodes’ complaint and other lawsuits pending nationwide, Monsanto knew or should have known that exposure to Roundup weedkiller applications was inherently dangerous and unsafe, yet concealed information from consumers and federal regulators.
Given common questions of fact and law raised in the lawsuits, a number of “bellwether” trials are set to go before juries this year, to help the parties gauge how juries are likely to respond to certain evidence and testimony likely to be repeated throughout the litigation.
In August 2018, the first trial in the country resulted in a $78 million judgment for a former California school groundskeeper, who was granted an early trial date because he is dying from non-Hodgkins lymohoma.
In the federal court system, where all claims have been centralized as part of a multidistrict litigation (MDL) before U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria in the Northern District of California, a series of early trial dates are set to begin later this month. In addition, more than a dozen other claims are set to go to trial in California and Missouri state court throughout 2019.
While the outcomes of these bellwether trials are not binding on Alexy and other plaintiffs, if Monsanto fails to reach Roundup settlements or otherwise resolve the litigation, hundreds of individual cases may be set for trial in the coming years.

With the first Ozempic lawsuit bellwether trials not expected to begin until at least late 2026 or early 2027, the court will address motions to dismiss and other “cross cutting” issues in 2025.
The first Valsartan bellwether trial will begin on September 8, 2025, involving allegations that the generic hypertension drug contained toxic chemicals that resulted in a liver cancer diagnosis.
The judge presiding over all federal Bard PowerPort lawsuits will meet with lawyers today to review the status of pretrial proceedings and the selection of the next round of bellwether cases. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

ACE COMMENTS ON THERESA MAY'S BREXIT SPEECH
"Mixed bag" for the engineering sector
Commenting on the Prime Minister’s speech today, Dr Nelson Ogunshakin OBE, chief executive of Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) has stated:
"The Prime Minister’s speech today was a mixed bag for the engineering sector.
"For instance, we welcome the desire of the government to ensure as much clarity and certainty as possible, as we embark on Brexit negotiations. Particularly since the delivery of vital infrastructure outlined in various government policies relies on such stability for effective investment, upskilling, and resource decision-making, among others.
"Much of what Mrs May said we have heard before, however, and the persistent refusal to take the moral high ground and guarantee the rights of non-UK EU citizens based here is troubling. UK engineering faces a skills shortage of thousands in the coming decade and undermining the attractiveness of the country as a destination for one’s engineering career, as well as bringing uncertainty and instability to the lives of those already planning on studying and building a career here, will only make this worse.
"We urge the Prime Minister to address this as soon as possible, otherwise the government’s plans for a revolution in house building, a new high speed, high capacity rail line, investment in our road network, and other programmes could be put at risk." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
This is my Day 5 make of the Tiffany Johnson Creative #100daysartplay Challenge. Today I have used Distress Oxide Spray Ink with a mask.
I decided to used "Wilted Violet" Distress Oxide Ink on a dark blue coloured card. I positioned the Funky Fossil Designs "Bubble Mask" over the top of the card, then lightly spritzed the ink over the top.
Once dry, I cut the card to size and mounted on to dark blue card and then on to a white card blank.
I used Versafine Clair "Monarch" purple ink to stamp the greeting, using the Funky Fossil Designs "Stripped Back Sentiment" stamp set, stamped on to white card. I trimmed the sentiment to size and then stuck it to the centre of the card using foam pads so that it was elevated.
Finally, I added a few dots of Ranger White Enamel Accents to break up the darker colour. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has renewed its request to the Ethiopian government seeking access to the country to conduct an independent assessment of continuing protests.
A statement issued in Geneva on Friday, by the commission’s spokesperson, Rupert Colville, said, ‘‘There is clearly a need for an independent investigation into what exactly transpired last Sunday, and to ensure accountability for this and several other incidents since last November involving protests that have ended violently.’‘
In August this year, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein disclosed that they had requested access to the troubled regions to of Oromia and Amhara enable the Office to provide assistance in line with Ethiopia’s human rights obligations.
‘‘We again appeal to the Government to grant us access,’‘ the latest statement added.
The UN body also touched on the issue of internet cut which was reported to have started on Tuesday and is till in full effect as at Friday. Even though connection for fixed lines have been partially restored.
‘‘Instead of cutting off access to mobile data services in parts of the country, including in Addis Ababa, we urge the Government to take concrete measures to address the increasing tensions,’‘ the statement said.
The UN also expressed concern over the issue of the arrested bloggers, Seyoum Teshoume and Natnael Feleke, the two are said to have been detained for loudly discussing the complicity of the government in the deadly stampede of last Sunday.
‘‘There have also been worrying reports of mass arrests in the Oromia and Amhara regions. We urge the Government to release those detained for exercising their rights to free expression and opinion. Silencing criticism will only deepen tensions,’‘ the UN concluded. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Pityriasis Alba is a common skin condition that affects children, typically between ages 13 and 16. Symptoms present as rounded, scaly pink patches and may be itchy. As these 1-4 cm. patches fade, lingering skin discoloration often exists. This is more apparent on those with dark skin. Pityriasis alba usually develops on the cheeks, chin, forehead, neck, shoulders, upper chest and upper arms. Only one patch may present, though some children experience upwards of a dozen patches on various parts of their face or upper torso.
The exact cause of Pityriasis alba is unknown. The condition has similar triggers to eczema, including heat, humidity, irritating soaps, abrasive clothing and stress. There is no cure, and most cases of Pityriasis alba begin to clear up on their own within a few months, with severe symptoms fading within two years. If you experience symptoms resembling those associated with this condition, do not attempt to self-diagnose. Seek advice from a medical professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. A moisturizer is recommended to control dryness and itch.
Terrasil Itch, Rash & Pain Relief's all-natural formulation provides long-lasting moisture for dry and sensitive skin. It rapidly eliminates itch and calms stubborn symptoms.

The Trump administration decided to go around the Palestinians to forge normalisation agreements last year between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, a former Trump official said.
Robert O’Brien, national security adviser to former President Donald Trump, said the Trump administration sought to build “political capital” with Israel first by moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and recognising Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
“We couldn’t allow the Palestinians to stand as a roadblock to a broader Middle East peace,” O’Brien said, describing for the first time since leaving office the strategy behind Trump’s diplomatic moves.
“So we went to our friends and partners and allies and we built political capital. And one way we built political capital in Israel was by moving the embassy to Jerusalem, one way we did it was by recognising the Golan Heights, as Israeli territory,” O’Brien said.
Former President Trump forged normalisation agreements called the “Abraham Accords” between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in September 2020. Additional agreements were reached to include Morocco in December and Sudan in January.
Trump had announced in 2017 the US would move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The move was celebrated in Israel but widely condemned elsewhere as detrimental to internationally supported Palestinian interests.
Trump unilaterally recognised Israeli sovereignty over the Golan in 2019, contravening international law. Israel had seized the territory from Syria in the Six Day War of 1967.
“These were facts that were never going to change on the ground. Jerusalem was never going to change being the capital of Israel. Israel was never going to give the Golan Heights back to Assad or any other regime in Syria,” O’Brien said.
“We did the same thing. We built political capital with Bahrain, with Morocco with the UAE by letting them know that we would stand with them, by getting out of” the Iran nuclear deal “which was a serious threat to the region”, O’Brien said.
The 2015 United Nations-backed Iran agreement was “providing the Iranian regime with so much money, so many funds, to export their revolutionary ideology,” O’Brien said.
Trump unilaterally withdrew In 2018 from the Iran nuclear agreement which had been negotiated by his predecessor President Barack Obama. Now, President Biden is moving to open negotiations with Iran to revive the agreement.
“We then took that capital and used it to bring the parties together and to see if we could bring them to some sort of accord, which we did,” O’Brien said.
O’Brien’s remarks came during a panel discussion hosted by the US Institute for Peace in Washington that included President Joe Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
Other Arab states are likely to join the Abraham Accords as they see economic benefits and the new relations should allow the US to draw down some its military forces in the region, O’Brien said.
Among the benefits, O’Brien said the accords should allow Israeli entrepreneurs to raise capital from Arab sovereign wealth funds.
“It boxes China out of Israel’s tech sector to some extent, which is something I looked at very carefully,” O’Brien said.
Biden adviser Sullivan said the new administration intends to build on the Abraham Accords. The new president is “thinking about how we make sure that the seeds that have been planted actually grow into the kind of full cooperation” that has been promised, he said.
Separately, Secretary of State Antony Blinken had told the US Senate on January 19 the Biden administration would be taking a close look at the incentives Trump had offered the UAE and Bahrain to enter the accords.
O’Brien said he still hoped for a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians and suggested other Arab states like Saudi Arabia would join in future.
“We weren’t able to get the Palestinians. I wish we had been. But there are a number of carrots and sticks that’ll bring them to the table,” O’Brien said, adding that he thinks European nations will help when they “see the success” of the Abraham Accords. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A strong, solid roofing system is a valuable and worthwhile investment for your commercial or residential property. Therefore, it is important to invest in renovations for your roof every so often. A roofing renovation may mean a few surface level repairs or a complete roof replacement. However, in some cases, a simple recovering by a licensed roofing professional may be all you need to bring your roof back to life. Also known as a “lay over,” recovering your roof means a brand-new roofing system will be installed over an existing roofing system. Here are some benefits of recovering your South Florida roof, provided by our team of experts at All American Roofing.
It is a more cost-effective option than a replacement
When you decide to recover your roof, you will be budgeting for much lighter expenses than if you opted for a complete roof replacement. A replacement requires more roofing materials and man power to achieve, so the overall cost will be higher than other standard roofing services. In addition, a roof replacement requires the existing roof be removed from the property, incurring more expenses to the renovation budget. A roof with several more years of sustainable life left may not need to go through the unnecessary expense of a reroof. Depending on the durability and longevity of your current roof, you could benefit from the less expensive approach of a roof recovering.
It is a much quicker process than replacement
If time is of the essence when it comes to your home improvement projects, consider recovering your roof using a professional roofing company. Residential and commercial roofs have varying completion times based on the size and state of the roof. Even though a timeline will not be confirmed until professional roofers evaluate your roof, the complete roof recovering will still be executed rapidly before any reroof project.
It allows for protection against the elements
A roof recovering allows you to extend the existing lifespan of your original roof, while enhancing its structure and protecting it from nature. With a new, reinforcing membrane properly applied to your existing roof, your roof will be able to withstand the inconsistent weather patterns of South Florida.
For more information on whether recovering your roof is right for your property, contact us at (954) 772-7663 to schedule a roof inspection by our team of licensed professionals. The sooner All American Roofing can evaluate your roof, the sooner your property will be on its way to its best condition yet.
Understanding Florida TPO Roofing Systems
South Florida properties need roofing systems that are dynamic. This means they must withstand Florida’s heavy rain, wind, and sunlight all year long, they must be cost-effective, and they must be able to last their full lifespan. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Understanding Macular Degeneration: Overview, Types, and Impact
Macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a progressive eye condition that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults and can significantly impact daily activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces.
Types: There are two main types of macular degeneration:
- Dry AMD: Dry AMD is the most common form of the disease, accounting for about 90% of cases. It is characterized by the gradual breakdown of cells in the macula, resulting in the formation of small yellow deposits called drusen. As dry AMD progresses, central vision may become blurry or distorted.
- Wet AMD: Wet AMD is less common but more severe than dry AMD. It occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the macula and leak fluid or blood, causing rapid and severe vision loss if left untreated. Wet AMD can lead to the development of scar tissue and permanent damage to the macula.
The impact of macular degeneration on vision and daily life can vary depending on the stage and type of the disease. While early-stage AMD may cause minimal symptoms, advanced AMD can significantly impair central vision, making it difficult to perform tasks that require fine detail and visual acuity.
Macular Degeneration Care and Treatments
Comprehensive Eye Exams: Regular eye exams are essential for the early detection and monitoring of macular degeneration. These exams may include visual acuity testing, dilated retinal examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fluorescein angiography to assess the health of the macula and detect any signs of disease progression.
Lifestyle Modifications: Adopting a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of macular degeneration progression and preserve vision. Recommendations may include eating a nutrient-rich diet high in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and protecting the eyes from harmful UV radiation.
Nutritional Supplements: Studies have shown that certain nutritional supplements, such as vitamins C and E, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin, may help slow the progression of intermediate to advanced dry AMD and reduce the risk of vision loss.

Professionally optimised images for your social media channels
For the many business owners who lack the time, technical knowledge or patience to focus on the appearance of their own social media channels, we offer a social media header artwork design service. Our service is offered in order to bring our client’s social media channels in line with the high quality images their customers see elsewhere on the social networking sites. Your images will be worked on by our in house graphic designers who have worked on engaging and attention grabbing header images for clients across a huge range of industries. Need more help with your social media? Take a look at our social media marketing service.
Why professional social media headers are important
Facebook, Twitter & Instagram are primarily visual-first platforms. Logging into your Facebook feed often presents simply an endless list of eye-catching images and videos. Generally people, i.e. your potential customers, respond to things that take the least time to process. An image, for example, can be digested immediately, whereas blocks of text need to be read in order to be understood. This is the main reason why most social networks focus on visuals above all else.
Dated-looking social media channels are a huge turn off for new customers and with the rate that these platforms are evolving you only need to take your eye off the ball for a week or two to miss an important layout change. Many sites also dynamically crop and resize images depending on the device being used to visit them. Are you sure your YouTube banner looks as good on a mobile as it does a smart TV? Potential customers aren’t going to be blown away if half of your logo is cropped off when they visit your channels from their iPhone. Low resolution, fuzzy or badly cropped images set a low bar for the quality of product or service customers can expect from the business.
What we provide
We want to take all these time-draining considerations off your plate so that you can maintain your focus on the other areas of your business. We’ll provide you with everything you need to get your channels looking right up-to-date. We’ll even upload your new designs directly to your channels for you if you grant us access, saving you the hassle of logging in and out and navigating the often complicated control panels of the sites.
- Our social media header artwork service provides:
- High resolution, perfectly formatted header and profile images optimised to look great on all devices
- Consistent use of your brand colours and logos across all channels
- Design parity across different platforms; Twitter matches Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube etc.
- Promotional, seasonal or other messaging to tie in with your business activity
- Professional-level social media channels that convert more customers
- Working with existing designs & logos or creating new ones
Need a little help?
If you think your social media channels could benefit from a more professional touch then reach out to the team today. If you’re only just getting started, you may also find our logo and branding services helpful. Don’t worry if you’re not sure exactly what you need, our friendly team are always happy to have a simple, jargon-free chat to work out exactly what it is that would be best for you.

Coral Cash review by Steve Igmar December 16, 2018
Coral Cash pokie is an entertaining 9 pay-line, 5 reel online pokie. Pokie art like sea animals and sea shells really brings out the perceived Ocean feel. Using scuba gear we grade this NYX designed game 4 out of five for putting this together. Offering game coin values from $0.05 all the way up to $45, you can be sure to find your comfort level while playing Coral Cash. A great advantage of wagering with Coral Cash is that the wild symbol lady in a swimsuit allows you to fulfill pay lines with any of the many icons. This becomes apparent when there are many winning combinations converging on the wild areas. The scatter icons located in Coral Cash are special, these coral reefs are not required to be located on a single to win. When you see right away that your pay lines are doomed there is always an opening of still winning with scatters. I recommend other Pokies like Party Chicks as it has the 5 reels like Coral Cash, similar pokies including Witches and Warlocks and Sirens are enjoyable also. Many of NYX pokies like Coral Cash interact the same so be sure to pick out a pokie that you like.
Like some other 5 reel online Pokies, the Coral Cash pokie is neat to play. The NYX guys went over the top to make this game an exciting experience. Using images including scuba gear can put you in the Ocean world. In closing we say that Coral Cash was a good game featuring decent pays and supporting sounds.
While playing Coral Cash offers a great way to collect enormous pile of cash, this is accomplished by getting a bonus game win. Here are the details on the bonuses you are able to get. The Free Spins bonus is triggered once you achieve wild symbol appearing on reel 1 and the scatter symbol appearing on reel 5, this feature seems to produce a bit on the small side. As with all feature games, the Coral Cash bonuses is where you can really score a large win. you nearly don't pay attention to the actual game play. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

News.com.au reports that Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns has debuted a new look in a new video, wearing a white fur pimp coat and bling that is a drastic change from his Grunge hey day, and even a bit of a change from his solo album a few years ago. He also has on contact lenses that give a scary vibe!
Johns’ latest music video dropped today for a new disco-inspired song titled “No One Defeats Us,” a collaboration with Empire of the Sun’s Luke Steele. The electronica duo have named themselves ‘Dreams’ and are scheduled to perform at music festival Coachella in California this month.
See photos and watch the video below!
Last month the following announcement was made:
Reverb.com — the online marketplace for buying, selling, and learning about music gear — and Chris Joannou announced that The Official Chris Joannou of Silverchair Reverb Shop would be launching. The shop features bass guitars, amps, synthesizers, and more used on tour and in the studio. Based on Joannou’s comments about the shop, it seems highly unlikely that a Silverchair reunion is coming.
“The gear for sale in my Reverb shop needs to go to a loving home — especially the bass guitars that have been with me on tour. They’re like family to me…they all have names. They’ve been with me for so long, toured all over the world with me, they’ve seen me at my best and at my worst,” Joannou said. “But I’m no longer using them and it’s time for someone else to enjoy them.”
The Official Chris Joannou of Silverchair Reverb Shop will feature a late ‘70s white Fender Precision bass guitar affectionately named “Whitey” by Joannou, and a 1975 Natural Fender Precision bass guitar Joannou called “Phil.” Both served as Joannou’s main bass guitars while Silverchair was on tour supporting its fifth and final studio album, the ARIA Award-winning Young Modern.
Other notable items in the shop include:
A Stuart Spector Designs NS4CR bass guitar that Joannou used extensively on tour and in the studio for 1997’s Freak Show. The bass guitar was purchased in New York during one of the bands first American tours.
Two Ampeg SVT810AV cabinets used for touring across Australia, mainly to support Young Modern.
A Roland RE-301 Space Echo that Joannou has used on various personal and Silverchair-related projects. “I just love the sound. It’s one of those pieces of gear that I’m always messing around with.”
A G&L SB1 bass guitar that Joannou has had for nearly 20 years.
Several pieces of studio equipment from the bass player’s personal studio, which has hosted artists including Josh Pyke, Paul Dempsey of Something for Kate, Jed Kurzel and Cec Condon of The Mess Hall, and more.
“It’s always hard to part with gear – especially when I have so much history with them all, But this gear shouldn’t be sitting around my home, it should be in someone’s hands being played,” Joannou said.
Since launching in 2013, Reverb has grown into the most popular music gear website in the world. According to Joannou, he decided to sell his gear on Reverb because the website was built for and by musicians and music lovers. Plus, every time he is personally looking for music gear, “all roads lead to Reverb.”

A mine worker learnt the hard way to check depth before entering water bodies.
Authorities recently examined how a dozer became partially submerged at a coal operation in Central Queensland’s Isaac region.
Investigators found night-shift employees had failed to inform day colleagues three metres was excavated from the pit floor in front of the coal rib. The slope was raised as the water level increased with a bund installed. This was intended to manage a water ingress into the work area that was contained by a solid coal rib.
“Before the day shift started the edge created by the change in cut height was completely concealed by water,” Resources Safety and Health Queensland’s coal inspectorate said in a safety notice.
“The day shift dozer operator walked the bulldozer through the bund and entered the body of water. As the machine walked further towards the back of the pit it fell off the water covered edge that had been created by the night-shift mining activities.”
The following recommendations were made:
- conduct local area hazard management (SLAM/TAKE 5)
- handovers insufficiently covered the changes in conditions and new hazards
- geofencing was not a control practiced at the mine for tasks of this risk profile
- suspending mining and installing water pumps could have mitigated the water hazard
- better train staff in standard operating procedures for edges and working near water bodies
- GPS units were not regularly programmed with locations of trenches, sumps and other hazards
- stay aware of changing environmental conditions including water and hazards then stop to reassess risks
- edges created by floors cut at different levels were a hazard that had to be appropriately reported, controlled and managed
- safety and health management system (SHMS) procedure knowledge was too limited for working around bodies of water even though after workers were trained
- photos and other shift task documents used at the pre-shift meeting inaccurately reflected water levels, changes in the coal floor level and other pit conditions.
Site senior executives were urged to:
- implement engineering systems that help identify trenches, sumps and edges such as GPS-enabled mobile plant
- implement geofencing capabilities on operational mobile plant and ensure it is used and updated appropriately
- edges of all heights present more risk when concealed by water and/or the angle, colour and presentation of the ground
- ensure operators are sufficiently trained in and comply with all SHMS requirements for edges and working near bodies of water
- identify all operational areas containing edges with a vertical drop of one metre or more
- and adopt appropriate control measures
- review systems for dealing with different level surface cuts (including trenches and sumps) that may seem to be level and flat
- review systems for dealing with bodies of water or other liquids at the mine including storage and water ingress to pits and working areas.

Within the digital farming area, the use case 2.1 developed by Bordeaux-INP will use the neuromorphic devices developed in ANDANTE to implement an autonomous system for automatic mechanical weeding of vegetables. Indeed, vegetable production requires a wide variety of farming operations and among these operations, early weeding is necessary to avoid competition between weeds and crops. If the competition is too strong, the farmer can suffer enormous crop yield losses.
To create a solution available to a wide range of cultures and planting parameters, Bordeaux-INP decided to develop an autonomous weeding system embedded on an electric tractor, based on AI vision, to be able to adapt it to different cultural methods without creating a new system.
Structurally, the weeding block consists of two parts: the vision system (managed by Bordeaux INP) and the binning tools (managed by an external partner).
The vision system is modular and can be transposed to different agriculture applications (yield estimation, vine disease detection, …) and can be attached to different vehicles (tractor, harvest machine, quad, …).
The solution requires high precision, to avoid destruction of the crops while detecting the weeds present in the field. The NeuroCorgi ASIC developed in ANDANTE and deployed in this use case can perform object detection using a deep learning CNN architecture with low latency while keeping a low power consumption. This type of technology is very interesting for digital farming tools in the edge, which must operate completely autonomously. An ultra-low power consumption is required to ensure a high battery autonomy to perform the weeding operation without interruption for the farmer.
Currently, our network architecture has been implemented and tested in PyTorch on an architecture similar to the network implemented on NeuroCorgi ASIC. The network is based on a MobileNetV1-based SSD detector, with the backbone trained on the COCO dataset and the network head on our crop’s images dataset.
Some changes to the network structure were necessary. As the training database for the NeuroCorgi encoder contains few examples of plants, the initial detection results were inadequate. Duplicating some of the encoder layers and making them trainable improved considerably the detection accuracy. The resulting network architecture is presented in Fig.1.
Thanks to this simulated environment, we were able to compare the accuracy of the AI model that we are currently using to the new one developed to work on the NeuroCorgi ASIC.
The KPI’s we identified to compare the detection are AP50 and AP75, that are often used as object detection metrics, and describe the accuracy of the model. The training and test database are the same to keep in the same configuration and provide a more robust comparison. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Looking for the best wireless charging options for your Galaxy S5? We can help.
When it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S5, wireless charging is where it's at. There are a few reasons for that. The first is convenience. Because of its IP67 rating for water resistance, the Galaxy S5 has a flap covering the microUSB port. You have to remove that flap any time you want to charge your phone. The second reason also is for convenience. It's simply easier to plop your Galaxy S5 down on a Qi-compatible charging pad.
There is a trade-off, of course. One is that your phone won't charge quite as quickly. The other is that the Qi-enabled wireless backs for the Galaxy S5 make the phone a little thicker.
We're tracking the best solutions for Galaxy S5 wireless charging.
So what's the best way to get wireless charging on your Galaxy S5? We're breaking it down piece by piece:
- We walk you through the official Galaxy S5 wireless charging cover
- And be sure to check out our look at the Galaxy S5 wireless charging S-View Flip Cover
And there's plenty more on the way.
There are, of course, any number of unofficial, third-party wireless charging options, some of which can be had for pretty low prices. We'll be taking a look at them in due time, of course.
There's also the matter of having a proper Qi-enabled charging pad. We've looked at a number of them in the past, including:

Hug Your Cat
Did you know that June 4 is officially Hug Your Cat Day? It’s the purrfect oppurrtunity to celebrate the power of the purr.
It’s actually been scientifically proven that cats are good for us. Research done at the University of Minnesota deduced that cat owners are 40 percent less likely to have a heart attack.
There is no question that if you have had a bad day at the office or, for any reason, are particularly stressed, the moment your cat greets you at the door and insists on a game of fetch (as my Ziggy does) or simply climbs on your lap, you begin to relax and benefit from your cat’s slow and gentle purr.
There are many ways to celebrate this wonderful human-feline bond. Sitting and relaxing with your cat on your lap is a no-brainer.
Grooming your cat can be considered “hugging” her, too, because it is a great way to bond. Once you have found the ideal grooming tool, cats enjoy being brushed and it’s a great way to spend time with her, not to mention the benefits of getting rid of shedding fur.
I mention the ideal grooming tool because lots of cats don’t like the feel of anything metal on their fur and skin. They prefer a grooming mitt that offers a simultaneous massage—who can resist that?
Hugging also falls under the heading of playing with your cat. Cats enjoy all kinds of games and will turn anything into a fun toy—such as a cardboard box that you had something delivered in.
However, the best games are interactive ones .In other words, games that involve both you and your favorite feline—just like Ziggy’s endless games of fetch, which we play with a wand toy. Wands and laser tools are a great way for the two of you to interact. Cats enjoy pounce-and-play type games and will often include a couple of head butts during the games. This is their way of hugging you back.
Cats blink at their people and also yawn, which are recognized signs of affection; so be sure to blink back. Your feline will understand the communication.
But the most important thing to remember is that cats enjoy their people every day. It’s not a matter of hugging your cat, but how many times you hug them in a day that really counts!
Hug Your Cat Day is a great idea to have on the pet calendar. Actually, every day should be hug your cat day. Your cat deserves nothing less.

As many of you know, I am deeply dedicated to revealing the mysteries of life, death, and the unseen realms that lie beyond our physical existence. It is within this context that I had the opportunity to speak at an event where I met Susan Grau, a gifted intuitive medium, and bore witness to her extraordinary ability to connect with the other side.
Watching Susan work is nothing short of magical. In her presence, you can feel the atmosphere shift as she gently tunes into the subtle energies around us. The love, the messages, and the healing that flow through her from loved ones who have crossed over is a reminder that we are never truly alone and that our loved ones continue to watch over us, guiding us with their wisdom and love from beyond the veil.
Last week, I was lucky enough to have Susan join me for a chat in my home studio. We delved into her journey, how to tap into our own intuitive abilities, and shared some incredible stories that have shaped both of our paths as NDErs. This discussion is filled with insights and moments that I believe will touch your heart and expand your understanding of what it means to connect with the spirit world.
I invite you to watch this amazing conversation and experience the warmth and wisdom that Susan brings to her work. I hope it brings you comfort, inspiration, and a deeper sense of connection to the loving presence of those who have crossed over. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Antidote invites you to take an active part in the correction process by integrating your own rules. This powerful yet flexible function allows the corrector to make detections that are targeted to your needs: precise terms to be avoided or never used, variants to be favoured when a word has several spellings (paycheque, pay cheque), spellings to be favoured when a word has more than one plural form (curriculums, curricula), etc. Integrating these editorial instructions into Antidote’s corrector is the best way to make sure you don’t miss a thing!
A rule consists of a trigger, a detection type, an optional replacement word and an explanation. It generates a detection which can be defined as either an alert or a correction. You can also illustrate the rule by adding examples of correct and incorrect use. You can even supplement the rule with other similar triggers that can produce different corrections.
Custom rules are grouped into lists that can be synchronized. You can create as many rule lists as you need, and you can activate and deactivate each list as required. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
On March 28, 2019, AOPA announced its strong opposition to the model for delivery of orthoses that relies on what is known as lead generation marketing to identify and recruit potential patients for treatment with orthoses.
Lead generation marketing uses broad stroke advertising such as television ads, websites, and social media to encourage potential patients to contact a call center which then provides the “leads” to a select group of physician referral sources and medical equipment suppliers who facilitate the delivery of one or more orthoses to the patient, often without the patient ever seeing the referring physician or the supplier of the device. This model of delivery is of great concern to AOPA as it does not include any fitting of the orthoses by health care professionals such as a certified and/or licensed orthotist. It also includes no patient education on the proper care and use of the orthosis, no follow up care to ensure that the orthosis is providing its intended benefit and lacks any kind of patient evaluation to determine the clinical appropriateness of the prescribed orthosis. This model of delivery is not one that is interested in the provision of clinically appropriate orthoses by properly trained, educated, and certified or licensed orthotic professionals. It is simply an opportunity for unscrupulous providers to take advantage of loopholes in the Medicare claims processing system to generate as much revenue as possible without regard to the medical need of the orthoses they are marketing. In addition, lead generation marketing of orthoses typically relies on a limited number of physician referral sources who often have no relationship with the patient prior to their brief consultation, usually over the telephone, upon referral from the lead generation company. These physicians are often fully aware of their role in this process and are often compensated by the lead marketing company on a per prescription basis. This practice is clearly not in the best interest of Medicare beneficiaries.
Recent reports published by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) have confirmed that there have been increased instances of fraud and abuse involving knee and spinal orthoses. AOPA believes that lead generation marketing strategies may be a significant contributor to this increase in fraud and abuse investigations. The orthoses that have been highlighted in the OIG reports have shown significant increases in utilization since the first appearance of the online and televised advertisements produced by lead generating marketing companies. It is not a coincidence that the largest increases in Medicare spending for orthoses represent the high cost orthoses that are being marketed to unsuspecting Medicare beneficiaries.
AOPA firmly believes that Medicare beneficiaries deserve to receive the highest quality, most clinically appropriate orthotic care available and that it is in the best interest of the Medicare program to ensure that the delivery of all orthoses must be coordinated through the physician or practitioner who is treating the patient’s orthopedic condition and a properly trained and educated orthotic provider, such as a certified or licensed orthotist. Alternative models, such as those that use lead generation marketing, will continue to facilitate increased fraud and abuse, unnecessary costs and utilization, and the delivery of ill-fitting orthoses that may not be medically necessary without any clinical care, patient follow up, or patient education.

TWO Dallas Mavericks stars, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, are optimistic that their team can win the NBA title in the 2024-2025 season with the arrival of a new player, Klay Thompson, from the Golden State Warriors.
At a media day at the team’s practice facility, before the Mavericks departed for Las Vegas for training camp, Doncic needed just one word to explain his team’s mission this season.
“Champion,” said Doncic firmly, quoted on the NBA website.
Also read: Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving bring the Mavericks to a 3-0 lead
The arrival of Thompson, who has won four NBA titles with the Warriors, is believed to be a key element in the Mavericks’ ambitions to win the championship. Thompson joins the Mavericks as this summer’s most sought after free agent.
“Klay’s arrival makes our dreams more likely to come true,” said another Mavericks star, Irving, who took part in recruiting Thompson.
Irving, who was in the same class as Thompson in the 2011 draft and is a former teammate on the United States (US) national team, added that Thompson’s championship experience would be very beneficial for the Mavericks.
Also read: Luka Doncic shines when the Dallas Mavericks sink the Clippers
“He adds great value to our aspirations to win a championship,” said Irving.
The Mavericks have prioritized adding a three-point shooting threat after struggling in last season’s finale, when they only recorded 31.6% accuracy from beyond the three-point line.
Thompson, with a career record of 41.3% accuracy on three-pointers, is expected to be the solution to that weakness. He also ranks sixth in NBA history with 2,481 three-pointers made.
Also read: Score 41 points, Luka Doncic leads Mavericks to overtake Suns
Doncic sees that Thompson’s presence will provide more space for the Mavericks’ game.
“When me and Kai (Irving) have the ball, you can’t leave Klay open. If you do, he will definitely score,” Doncic said. “So I think the space game will be very crucial for us.”
Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said Thompson’s shooting ability would give the team a new dimension in attack.
Also read: Doncic Leads Mavericks to Silence Thunder
According to Kidd, Thompson’s presence could have a similar impact to Jason Terry, the skilled shooter who helped the Mavericks win the title in the 2010-11 season.
“Klay is one of the best shooters of all time. Having him on our team will make the game easier, especially in terms of spacing,” said Kidd.
Meanwhile, Thompson admitted he needed to adjust to the Mavericks’ style of play which is different from the Warriors’ system. However, he
confident his abilities will complement the Dallas roster well.
“I’ll be there to shoot open shots that Luka creates,” Thompson said.
With the NBA season starting on October 24, Thompson sees this preseason as one of his most important in recent years.
“I know I can adapt quickly, and I am really looking forward to this challenge,” he concluded. (Ant/Z-1)

Aerospace Executive’s Prosecution for Antitrust Conspiracy Shows Tailwinds for DOJ’s Labor Market Investigations
Last week, a Connecticut district court unsealed a criminal complaint and affidavit alleging that a former aerospace executive, along with managers and executives of several suppliers of engineering services, engaged in an eight-year criminal antitrust conspiracy to restrict hiring and recruiting of engineers and other skilled workers. The case represents the latest of several DOJ criminal cases launched in the last year into so-called “no-poach” and “non-solicit” agreements between employers.
The complaint evidences the DOJ Antitrust Division’s ongoing emphasis on rooting out labor market conspiracies that prevent competition in hiring and therefore suppress wages. Jonathan Kanter, the newly confirmed Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division, said of the complaint: “We will vigorously prosecute this and other cases in which corporate executives undermine the careers of their own workers in order to reap undeserved profits and deprive our fellow citizens of opportunities to earn a competitive wage.” While DOJ has pursued civil antitrust cases against such non-solicitation agreements dating back to at least 2010, in the past year it has upped the ante by bringing criminal charges based on alleged wage-fixing and agreements not to solicit or hire employees. A federal district court in Texas recently upheld DOJ’s position on a motion to dismiss in a wage-fixing case, while similar motions remain pending in several other cases involving no-solicit/no-hire allegations.
While the Antitrust Division is known to be investigating “no-poach” agreements in different industries, the criminal cases it has filed so far all have been in the healthcare space, while the allegations here involve an alleged conspiracy in the aerospace engineering sector. Given the alleged involvement of multiple unnamed individuals and companies in that industry, additional charges may well be forthcoming.
One other notable element in this new complaint is the vertical relationship between the defendant’s company and the suppliers. According to an affidavit by a Defense Criminal Investigative Service agent, the aerospace company had outsource arrangements with five different suppliers, whereby each supplier would assign engineers and other skilled workers to complete projects for the company. The affidavit alleges that from 2011 to 2019, the aerospace executive and at least eight co-conspirators from the suppliers agreed to allocate employees working on projects for the company by restricting the hiring and recruiting of engineers and other skilled workers between and among the various suppliers.
DOJ previously has acknowledged that non-solicit or no-hire agreements that are reasonably necessary to a separate legitimate business collaboration, including with suppliers, vendors, or consultants, are not per se unlawful (and therefore potentially criminal), but rather are subject to the more flexible “rule of reason” standard of antitrust analysis. Defendants may argue in cases with facts similar to this case that the “ancillary restraints doctrine” precludes per se, and thus criminal, treatment. Assuming it proceeds to litigation, this case should provide greater clarity on how the ancillary restraints doctrine applies in a criminal labor market case.
Also of note is the fact that the defendant was arrested rather than being allowed to appear on a summons. In the past, the Antitrust Division typically arrested individuals in antitrust cases only if the individual presented a flight risk, and the public documents do not indicate such a risk was present here. After appearing remotely in federal court, the defendant was released on a $100,000 bond with travel restrictions.
This case presents yet another warning to employers that DOJ is actively investigating non-solicit, no-hire, and wage-fixing agreements between employers across different industries and is prepared to prosecute such agreements criminally. Notably, the existence of a legitimate business relationship between the employers—such as vendor and customer or prime and sub-contractor—does not necessarily immunize such agreements from prosecution. If you have questions about compliance with DOJ’s guidance in this area, please reach out to the authors or any of the attorneys in Arnold & Porter’s Antitrust/Competition or White Collar Defense & Investigations groups.

It's time to reveal the Gunners' Greatest 50 Goals - as voted for by Arsenal's fans.
Patrick Vieira brings up the halfway point in our countdown with a strike that perhaps deserves a higher placing.
gain, it’s the argument of what exactly makes a goal great. Is it the importance of the goal or the sheer quality of the finish?
This effort was the third goal in a rather routine home win over Newcastle as the Gunners closed in on a league and cup double in 1998. But the aesthetic beauty of the goal makes it stick in the memory.
Marc Overmars started the move with an interception just inside Newcastle’s half. The Dutchman rolled the ball forward to Nicolas Anelka who laid it off to Vieira just outside the centre circle.
The talismanic Frenchman strode towards goal and, with nobody closing him down, he decided to let fly from all of 35 yards.
The searing drive nestled in Shay Given’s top right-hand corner like a French Exocet.
It was a strike that typified the young midfielder at the time. Powerful, fearless and all-conquering.

Officers shot in New Hope are OK, gunman dead
Published 9:50 am Tuesday, January 27, 2015
NEW HOPE — Two police officers who were shot by a gunman inside a suburban Minneapolis city building are expected to recover.
Two newly sworn-in officers and others were shot at Monday night as they left a New Hope City Council meeting. Two officers were hit, and others returned fire and killed the gunman, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Mike Carlson said.
The injured officers are in good condition at a local hospital, Carlson said Monday night. It was not immediately clear whether the officers hit were the new ones.
The sound of at least six gunshots outside the council chambers can be heard on a video recording of the council meeting, which was still ongoing.
City Council member John Elder, a former police officer, is seen on the video drawing his handgun and shouting at others in the room to take cover.
“Get down! Get down! Everybody get down!” Elder shouts.
Someone else in the room can be heard saying, “That went right through the door. Somebody got shot.”
City Council members can be seen taking cover behind the desk. Elder points his gun at the chamber door.
Council members were later escorted to safety. Carlson said authorities are not seeking any other suspects and did not identify the gunman or disclose a possible motive. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Chayce Concrete, LLC v. Path Constr. Sw., LLC – 10/22/2024
The Arizona Court of Appeals, Division One holds that an arbitration award cannot be vacated (1) under A.R.S. § 12-3023(A)(1) in the absence of evidence of corruption, fraud or undue means in securing the award and (2) under A.R.S. § 12-3023(A)(3) in the absence of evidence that the arbitrator abused their discretion in proceeding with the hearing.
A general contractor and subcontractor submitted to binding arbitration governed by the AAA rules to resolve performance and payment disputes. The subcontractor issued requests for production to the general contractor. The general contractor responded, objecting to the production of certain documents. Months later and days before the arbitration hearing, the subcontractor argued for the first time that the general contractor’s objections and withholding of documents constituted a deliberate refusal to provide the subcontractor exculpatory information and that such documents should be assumed to undercut the general contractor’s narrative. The arbitrator issued an award precluding the general contractor from recovering delay damages due to nondisclosure, but also precluding the subcontractor from recovering certain damages. The general contractor moved the superior court to confirm the arbitration award and enter judgment. The subcontractor moved to vacate the award, citing to A.R.S. § 12-3023(A)(1) and A.R.S. § 12-3023(A)(3). The superior court vacated the arbitration award on both grounds. The general contractor appealed.
The court of appeals vacated the order of the superior court and remanded for the trial court to confirm the arbitration award, concluding that the superior court abused its discretion by vacating the award under either A.R.S. § 12-3023(A)(1) or A.R.S. § 12-3023(A)(3).
First, the court of appeals held that the record did not support a finding that, because of the general contractor’s withholding of information, the award was procured by corruption, fraud or other undue means under A.R.S. § 12-3023(A)(1). Rather, looking to the facts, in which the subcontractor asked for the withheld information from the general contractor only once, the general contractor clearly stated which categories of information it would not produce and provided the basis for its objections, the subcontractor delayed months before expressing dissatisfaction with the production and did so mere days before the arbitration hearing, and the subcontractor failed to request that the arbitrator order the production of the withheld documents, A.R.S. § 12-3023(A)(1) had not been satisfied.
Second, the court of appeals held that the record did not support the superior court’s finding that the arbitrator abused their discretion in proceeding with the hearing under A.R.S. § 12-3023(A)(3), where the subcontractor did not timely raise its concerns with the general contractor’s production, the record lacked evidence that the subcontractor requested a postponement of the hearing, and the subcontractor waived its objection to the denial of the alleged request for postponement.
Judge Campbell authored the opinion, which Judges Cattani and McMurdie joined.

Are you thinking of becoming a singing teacher? Here is some wise advice from David Valks, who started a teaching studio 18 months ago.
Over the past few years, David Valks has been on quite a journey – from working in an office to running his own studio.
He recently spoke to the Singing Teachers Talk podcast about how he transformed his life and reconnected with his first love: singing.
Drawing on his performance experience
David spent his 20s performing in West End musicals before touring the world and settling down in Australia. At the age of 30, he stepped back from performing and forged a successful career in recruitment. But over time, a niggling desire to get back to doing something he was passionate about grew and grew. After talking to a singing teacher, David wondered if he, too, could teach.
“I thought that’s exactly what I want to do. I want to inspire other people and do something that I love,” he says.
But just because you can sing doesn’t necessarily mean you can teach so David turned to BAST Training to learn the skills that he needed to start a vocal coaching studio.
“I did the five-day course, and I found it was just everything I needed,” he says. “Since I trained as a singer, the science and the research have advanced so much. It blew me away how much more we know today than we did 20 odd years ago.
“The great thing was that it wasn’t just about the voice and how the voice works; the course also covered how to be a teacher and how to run a lesson. When you’re a singing teacher, you’re on your own, so it’s hard to know if you’re on the right track. BAST gave me that kind of foundation and direction and all the fundamentals to get started.”
Eighteen months on, David’s schedule is busy – he has about 30 students on his books – and he’s also launched a podcast.
Here’s his advice for beginner singing teachers.
Decide your mission statement
You don’t need to have every minor detail of your business figured out before starting (no one could do that anyway), but it’s good to have a clear mission statement. This will guide you as you go and keep you motivated when you’re having a tough day.
David was very much influenced by his own musical experiences growing up in Scotland, where he had some fabulous teachers. “One of the main things for me, and I always go back to this, is to bring the joy into it,” he says. “Some people might want a very strict, formal teacher, but that’s just not me. I want it to be fun and for people to learn through having fun. I want my lessons to be a positive experience.”
Be prepared to surprise yourself
While it’s great to have an ethos that keeps you moving forward, don’t be surprised if your teaching career takes you in an unexpected direction or you discover a specialism that you’d never considered before.
When David started his singing school, he anticipated that most of his students would be adults. “But what’s interesting is that it’s flipped over time, and I would say now 60% of the time I’m teaching kids and 40% of the time it’s adults,” he says.
“And I’m really enjoying teaching the kids. I get different things from the different demographics, but teaching kids is great. You see this spark growing within them – you know that you’re setting them off on a journey that will impact their life.”
Never stop learning
When you run your own business, it’s easy to be consumed by all the challenges and admin that goes along with it. But David has found it incredibly useful to dedicate time to Continuing Professional Development.
“Some of my students have been coming to me from the beginning – that’s once or twice a week, for 18 months,” he says. “I’m always looking for ways to increase my knowledge and keep it fresh for them – I can’t do the same stuff for 18 months.
“I find I’m constantly growing and learning, and there’s definitely room for me to grow more. I think there’s an endless pool of knowledge that I can keep drawing from. Also, I learn so much from my students. Even though I’m the teacher, I get so much back from them.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The greatest challenge of planning a powder room is making the most of such a small space. After all, it’s essentially a half-bathroom, without a tub or a shower. In today’s post, Bath Planet of Boston takes a look at some strategies that can help you maximize space in a powder room.
- Use the room’s vertical space. One of the key strategies of space conservation is making use of the room’s vertical space. This means installing wall-mounted fixtures and storage solutions. In addition to the much smaller footprint, wall-mounted features show more of the floor, which creates the illusion of a bigger bathroom.
- Install recessed lighting. Protruding lighting fixtures protrude and take up space. Recessed lighting, with proper placement, can help illuminate a powder room without getting in the way. Strategically placed mirrors can complement recessed lighting by dispersing the light, allowing for fewer lighting fixtures.
- Install a pocket door. A pocket door is a sliding door that disappears into the wall when opened, eliminating the need for swing space needed by a standard hinged door. In a powder room, it can give you more flexibility with your floor plan. However, it’s important to note that the bathroom wall will need to be modified to accommodate it. Similarly-styled doors, such as a barn door may also be an option.
- Choose small statement pieces. We’ve been discussing how to make the most of a small space, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t sacrifice its aesthetic elements. The key is in choosing a few but important pieces of decor. Even a couple of small potted succulent plants can add visual interest without taking up a significant amount of space.
- Keep it uncluttered. With small spaces like powder rooms, the phrase “less is more” certainly applies. Hideaway or closed cabinetry can help create a streamlined look, while large tiles create fewer grout lines that help reduce visual clutter.
Your remodeling team at Bath Planet of Boston can help bring all of these design strategies together and build the powder room that you’ve always wanted.

Taking baths unassisted is one of the challenges of having limited mobility, given that standard bathtubs are not designed for ease of ingress and egress. Fortunately, there is a solution — walk-in bathtubs. In today’s post, Bath Planet of Boston discusses the benefits of walk-in tubs in terms of mobility, and why you should consider one when planning your bathroom remodel.
How Do Walk-In Tubs Work?
Standard bathtubs have rims that are typically several inches above the bathroom floor. It’s not a problem for people with fully functional limbs to get in and out of, but for those with mobility issues, it makes bathing unassisted a difficult task.
A walk-in bathtub solves this problem with a low threshold design. Instead of a lowered rim, which would defeat the purpose of a bathtub’s basic design, the entry point features a hinged panel that works much like a watertight door when closed. Additional features like grab bars can be installed around the walk-in tub to facilitate ease of ingress and egress.
The Benefits of Walk-In Tubs
The key benefit of a walk-in tub is it lets people with mobility issues bathe themselves unassisted. It also lets them enjoy the therapeutic benefits afforded by standard baths. A walk-in tub can also make the bathroom safer to use because they’re shaped so that the person bathing sits in it instead of lying down, reducing the risks of drowning. The upright profile also facilitates ease of movement between tub and wheelchair.
Since walk-in tubs have a significantly smaller footprint compared to standard bathtubs, you get additional floor space that can be allocated to more space for wheelchair users to move in. It’s also worth considering that walk-in tubs and other accessibility improvements are a form of future-proofing for your home; it can also raise your home’s value. Whether you decide to stay in the same home in your later years or sell it, you’ll benefit from these improvements either way.
Learn more about the benefits of walk-in tubs and our other services, including bath replacement, by giving Bath Planet of Boston a call at (508) 372-8831 (Shrewsbury), (781) 332-4423 (Pembroke) or (781) 932-4805 (Woburn).

The European Commission is the strategic partner of ILA Berlin 2024
The European Commission will again be the strategic partner of ILA. The partnership was announced today by the commission, the BDLI and Messe Berlin. In order to be able to live in a sustainable, secure and networked world, Europe must continue to strengthen its technological leadership, thus paving the way for a sustainable future for aerospace.
This year, ILA Berlin will be the largest and most important aerospace show in the EU. From 5 to 9 June 2024, under the heading ’Pioneering Aerospace’, the world’s aerospace industry will be coming together in the heart of Europe in Berlin in order to showcase and discuss the future of aerospace. Key topics will be innovation, new technologies and sustainability, together with climate-neutral aviation, mobility, security and networking.
The partnership announced today gives these strategic priorities a boost for realising them together. They include climate-neutral aviation in the future, competitiveness and safeguarding the future of Europe’s industry, space exploration as a guarantor of our modern lifestyle, security within Europe and the continent’s defence capabilities.
Rosalinde van der Vlies, Director Clean Planet, DG RTD, European Commission said: "The strategic partnership with ILA Berlin is a great opportunity to confirm our key strategic priorities for a green and digital transformation of the aviation sector to a European and global audience. Through Horizon Europe, the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation, including the public-private partnerships Clean Aviation and SESAR, we are supporting the development of sustainable aviation fuels, zero-emission airports and zero-emission aircraft. I am looking forward to ILA 2024.”
Dr Gerardo Walle, Managing Director of BDLI: “Europe is facing big challenges. In order to safeguard and strengthen Europe’s leadership in the fields of aerospace, security, defence and sustainability, all actors must work closely together. Aerospace is at the heart of a sovereign Europe and its capability to act. Whether the topic is maintaining our security, decarbonising aviation or independent access to space – the strategic partnership with the European Commission underlines our common priorities.“
In its role as Europe’s leading aerospace show, ILA 2024 will present the aerospace industry’s indispensable contribution to a modern, sustainable and secure digital future. That includes collecting climate data, which is fundamentally important to meeting the targets of the European Green Deal and making Europe climate-neutral by 2050. Furthermore, by the end of the decade and as part of the Artemis space programme, the goal is for Europeans to set foot on the moon, an important and equally fascinating area of our activity in the future.
European Commission strongly represented at ILA
From the ILA Future Lab to Advanced Air Mobility – the future of aerospace will be presented and discussed on the four live ILA Stages at the event. The European Commission will be represented by several high-profile figures and feature important contributions. There will also be a discussion on how the political framework can enable the aerospace industry to meet the EU’s climate targets by 2050. EU research and innovation programmes will also be presented, among them the Clean Aviation programme which aims to accelerate the transition to climate-neutral aviation and bring the private and public sector together.
On the display areas of ILA Berlin at BER Airport the focus will be on innovations, both from European exhibitors such as Airbus, Arianespace, Diehl, Leonardo, Liebherr, MBDA, MTU Aero Engines, Rolls-Royce, OHB, Saab, Safran, Thales and the German Aerospace Center, as well as from numerous international exhibitors such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin from the USA and Israel Aerospace Industries. The largest single exhibitor is the German Armed Forces.
The European Commission booth will gather three directorates-generals (DGs); DG Research and Innovation (RTD), DG Mobility and Transport (MOVE) and DG Defence Industry and Space (DEFIS), as well as several EU services such as Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking, SESAR Joint Undertaking and the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). The aim is to showcase to ILA visitors how EU research projects contribute concretely to the objectives of the European Green Deal.
On 4 June 2024, the day prior to ILA, the 4th Berlin Aviation Summit (BAS) will take place. Major industry stakeholders, policymakers at federal and European level, representatives of the international industry, the energy sector, finances, research
and science will be gathering in Berlin to discuss a common path towards sustainable aviation based on advanced technologies and innovations, and with it the energy transition in the skies.

Measha Brueggergosman wows Olympic Stadium during her Opening Ceremonies
Canadian opera superstar Measha Brueggergosman rocks a most spectacular mane of textured wonder. It wasn’t only her voice that wowed the crowd during the Winter Olympic Olympic Ceremonies in Vancouver earlier this year. Many of us curlies were captivated by her stunning hair.
NaturallyCurly was lucky enough to catch up with the down-to-earth diva to ask her about her curls.
NC: How long have you worn your hair natural? Have you ever relaxed it? How did you decide to transition?
MB: Like most women with textured hair, I straightened my hair because that’s just what you did – my mom did (and continues to do so”> and I’m sure her mom before her as well. I started to grow out the straight part of my hair because I was in an opera that required me to wear braids and I liked how they looked so much that I just kept putting them in until the straight part grew out enough that I could cut it off and “go natural”.
NC: Do you think your hair adds to your already-fantastic stage presence?
MB: I think I feel confident knowing that I have a hairstyle that is a natural extension of who I am—and you’ll pardon the pun.
NC: Does your big, full hair fit in well with most of your performances and events? Are you ever asked to tame it? Have you ever been asked to straighten it for a show?
MB: I’ve never been asked to tame by hair or straighten it for a show. I think there’s a misconception within the “community of textured hair” that people will have some kind of adverse reaction to HAIR worn in its natural state. Quite the opposite, actually. I’ve gotten nothing but positive feedback (and borderline jealousy”> with regard to how I’ve chosen to wear my hair. The only confusion that arises is when I put a straight weave in and people wonder how I’ve managed to grow my hair so quickly!
NC: What products do you use?
MB: I use Kiehl’scosmetics for everything from hair to face to body.
NC: Were you thrilled to get the call from the Olympic committee? Tell me what that was like.
MB: The Olympic Opening Ceremonies were absolutely incredible! It was truly a unique experience to be in a room with ten of thousands of people. all united in a common goal of respect and celebration.
NC: What made you decide to wear your hair out, full and in all its gorgeous glory for the Olympic performance?
MB: Sisters have GOT to represent. Ha! But seriously, there is no reason we can’t decide how and when we want to wear our hair—and I think wearing your hair, as God made it to grow on your head, is empowering and unique. And no two curls on any head are the same. That’s just beautiful. I’m not trying to make it political—I just want an easy hairstyle that champions who I naturally am. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Always ‘on’ with Always ‘in touch’
For decades, BENNING has been developing smart power supply solutions that are precisely tailored to the requirements of operators. Continuous and cost-efficient operation of power supply systems requires analysing and maintaining them with the help of powerful control and monitoring systems. BENNING has developed the MCU 3000 (Monitoring Control Unit) remote monitoring system for this purpose.
The controller monitors the entire power supply system and controls the power management, among other things. At the same time, it significantly reduces the time required for installation or maintenance, thanks to automatable event-controlled processes. Proactive services are triggered early, before major damage can occur.
- Location-independent remote control and monitoring
- Continuous, data-supported analysis
- Recognises anomalies and causes at an early stage and reacts proactively before an error can occur
- Automatic triggering of individual processes through event-driven reactions
- Intuitive and reliable operation, excellent interface design with clear signalling
The MCU provides all events, fault and system messages in a logbook for analysis.
Actions or service processes are automatically triggered by events via individually adjustable limit values, filters and prioritisation. In addition, a hysteresis range can be defined for alarms and messages.
All alarms must be acknowledged or cancelled. This ensures that the alarm is assessed.
- Controlled battery management optimises the service life and ensures the operational readiness of the battery system
- Supports all common protocols and interfaces and can be configured via web browser
- Reduction of maintenance, service, installation and training times
- Telecommunications, IT and data technology
- Process automation / Industry
- Gas, oil & petrochemical industry
- Power generation and distribution
SLIMLINE controller – remote monitoring and reliability in a very compact space
Easy and safe operation reduces service and maintenance times
10” touch display
As an option, the MCU 3000 can be installed in the cabinet door of the power supply system. This version has a 10″ touch display. The start screen consists of a clear single line with the most important measured values and system statistics. Swipe gestures can also be used, just like on a smartphone or tablet.
The MCU provides information about errors, short circuits and earth faults. Signals from protection devices are incorporated and integrated to recognise fault locations or fault directions. A clear line colouring and corresponding markers in the circuit diagram indicate the location of the fault. This allows service technicians to localise and rectify faults more quickly.
In addition, internal or external service staff can be scheduled more specifically depending on the type of fault indicated.
Always “on”, thanks to smart connectivity
- Supports all common communication protocols and interfaces, e.g: DNP 3, Profibus and MODBUS, TCP/IP, SNMP, e-mail*1, modem, Ethernet and USB
- RS-232 for serial communication and modem
- RS-485 for MODBUS (MODBUS can also be addressed via network)
- USB 2.0 interface
- Configurable via web browser and mobile devices
- Integration of external error messages (e.g. fire protection systems, alarm systems, etc.)

A job description lists the requirements and responsibilities that recruiters expect employees to fulfill. By understanding how to read a job description, you will be better able to determine whether or not the job is ideal for you. And if it is the right fit, you can further tailor your CV to fit the role and land your dream job position.
What Difference does Reading Description Make?
Mostly we are so focused on the title of the position and what the position pays that we neglect the information pertaining to the job. Reading the description thoroughly will give you a comprehensive picture of the company and help you evaluate the following things;
- What are the company’s values and vision?
- Who is the CEO/ founder of the company?
- Evolution/ history of the company.
- What bonuses or packages you should be expecting?
- Whether or not you could adapt to the company’s environment?
Analyzing Parts of Description
It is usually human resources staff members or the joint effort of groups of hiring managers who write these descriptions and compile them into job specifications under different headings. It is important to remember that they are not depicting a specific type of person but qualities, skills, and the commitment to fill the position.
Each job posting is unique. Some expositions are short, while others are more detailed. Also, it is not necessary for every job advertisement to have the same label. It is you who should be able to mindfully read the post and figure out which sections refer to what requirements.
- The title consists of just a few words (ranging from 1 to 5) to indicate the job position and scope.
- This section outlines an overview of your duties and role at the company.
- All the tasks you’ll find here are the ones you’ll be expected to carry out, and projects you will work on a daily basis.
This portion is critically important if you intend to apply for this position or still exploring what roles may interest you. Usually, they are in the form of bullet points. As you read them, ask yourself if these are activities you want to do on a regular basis.
- Many recruiters will write their requirements as having two or more years of experience.
- Further, they can mention their experience in a particular field.
These are only soft requirements. When students are applying for jobs, they believe that if they don’t check every single box, they shouldn’t apply. However, if your skills and interests match the requirements criteria, this is something that is commonly overlooked.
Role Description Or Responsibilities
- In this section, you will learn what your job will entail.
- What the employee will be doing? Who he/she will be communicating with, reporting to, and how much interaction with others he/she will have inside and outside of the company.
- They frequently mention buzzwords such as “group work”, “creative work”, or “independent work” to ensure only the right candidates apply. Hence pay attention to every minute detail.
Having these details, lets you compare which roles they are looking for and what you have done in a similar capacity. It’s a good idea to apply if the roles and responsibilities they are looking for are something that aligns with you. Moreover, you should tailor your cover letter or resume according to this section.
Qualification and Skills
- This next section is qualification and skills. In general, you should have 80% of the skills listed in the criteria. But don’t stress over it, if you have even more than 50% of the skills and you are confident that you are able to acquire the rest of them, you should apply. For example, if they require skills like JobVite, which is a recruiting tool, you can still learn about JobVite even if you have never used it before. Read about it, or it is best that you watch video lessons on Youtube.
Wherever it comes naturally, include these essential skills on your resume and cover letter.
Benefits of Carefully Reading Job Description
- By diligently going over the job description you can get a sense of what questions they will ask you during the interview, so you can prepare your topics accordingly.
- It will tell you if the job is full-time or part-time, as well as what position it is.
- Simply looking at the title of a job can lead you to assume it is something else. Perhaps after reading the description, you find it isn’t something that appeals to you. Or on the contrary, maybe it will make you more interested in the job. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Since the world shut down last month, leading U.S. offshore gambling sites have been begging their marketing departments to come up with “the next big thing” to entertain members and provide them with some action. As a result, there’s an explosion of interest in everything from horse racing to Croatian soccer, but after yesterday’s announcement we might have seen it all. First, a quick warning for readers with weak stomachs: don’t go any further if sensitive to extreme over-eating and grotesque amounts of calorie ingestion. This is pretty crazy stuff.
It appeared as if BetOnline peaked for Spring 2020 after launching an eSports rebate for wagering on video game competitions returning 20% of total money risked on the exciting events. However, now they’ve teamed up with Major League Eating to give people a “supersized” battle to help pass the time, while also raising the “iGaming promotional bar” to dizzying new heights.
A bracket-style competition called the Quarantine Challenge features head-to-head matchups between the world’s biggest eaters, including celebrity munchers, Joey Chestnut and Matt Stonie. They join six other professional diners in an attempt to fight through four tough rounds of extreme ingestion, with finals set to go down on April 22nd, crowning an eventual champion.
Anyone thinking this will be a “cake walk” is dead wrong because each leg looks absolutely horrifying to the average person. Round #1 tomorrow involves a straight 2 lbs of bologna, then Sunday’s Round #2 brings dessert with 48 Oreos and a half gallon of milk to wash them down. The “Final Four” is on Tuesday for those left standing, their reward being 1.5 gallons of Bush’s Best Original Baked Beans, presumably to help other courses “come to completion”. The event then climaxes on Wednesday with 10 portions of Nissin Chicken Cup Noodles, which actually sounds refreshing after looking at earlier menus.
Obviously, since BetOnline is an established and trusted sportsbook, they’ve posted tournament odds for players to feast on and preliminary numbers are fascinating. The clear favorite to win the Quarantine Challenge is 12-time Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Champion, Joey Chestnut at +100, which is totally understandable given his illustrious resume.
has Matt Stonie (+400), Darron Breeden (+500), and Gideon Oji (+600) nipping at his heels, any of them certainly able to pull off a mild upset next week. Then female contestants Miki Sudo (+1000) and Michelle Lesco (+1200) are listed, followed by Nick Wehry (+1200) and Eric Booker (+2000) representing the longest shots to take it down. There are even odds for who will consume meals fastest, as well as totals, with an O/U of 69 seconds posted for Round #1.
Servings are being dished up now, so visit safe and legal BetOnline.ag to look at details and bookmark YouTube live stream channels. Just don’t forget to bring some Pepto-Bismol. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Guy Ritchie’s take on the legends of King Arthur – Knights Of The Round Table – is slowly coming together, and now one more member had signed up, with Variety reporting that Eric Bana will play Arthur’s father, Uther.
He joins Charlie Hunnam as King Arthur, Astrid Berges-Frisbey as Guinevere, Djimon Hounsou in negotiations to play a character the king’s Merlin-like mentor Bedivere, and Jude Law playing the villain.
Joby Harold (Edge of Tomorrow) wrote the script, which is the first part of a planned six-movie franchise, which presumably will concentrate on different knights surrounding Arthur with each film. There’s still no news on the exact plot and direction the first movie will take.
Warner Bros. has had been trying to make an Arthurian movie for years. Indeed Ritchie was previously attached to a completely different King Arthur movie, which was written by John Hodge (Trainspotting). Another project, Arthur & Lancelot, even got to the point where Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) and Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) had been hired for the lead roles and the sets were ready to be built. However the studio backed out just a few weeks before production was due to begin.
Hopefully they won’t get cold feet with this version, which already has a July 22nd, 2016 release date set. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

After spending five-years as the nearly-man of poker, the Frenchman, Ludovic Lacay, has finally managed to find an engraver willing to etch his name on one of the world’s major titles, after winning the European Poker Tour (EPT), Season Nine, Leg Two, in San Remo Italy.
Lacay's victory takes his overall career earnings to just shy of $3 million, according to the latest Poker News, moving him into sixth place in the French all-time money list.
The event drew in 797 of the world’s top players, and they combined to create a total prizepool of €3,865,450. It was the smallest EPT San Remo field since the event was first created in Season Four, an event that was won by Jason Mercier, but Lacay won't care about that.
After the mad rush of the combined Days 1a and 1b, Inge Forsmo would emerge as the Day 2 chip leader. The relatively unknown Norwegian would hold that chip lead until the end of Day 4 when the Irishman, Jason Tompkin, took charge.
There were 24-players at that point in proceedings; Lacay was sitting in third and that man, Forsmo, was seated in second.
The fight towards the final table saw a Canadian leap to the front. Jason Lavallee, who finished second in the 2009 WPT Festa al Lago for $795,150 took centre stage, as the final eight converged under the glare of the spotlight; Lacay was prowling in second spot.
After the end of the sixth day of action, it came down to a heads-up encounter between Lavallee and Lacay. Lacay's top two-pair staying ahead of the flush draw of Lavallee to hand Lacay his first-major title and €744,910 in prize money.

Denver Apartments Drew High Price Tags In January
The Denver multifamily investment market has a long recovery ahead to reach pre-pandemic volumes, but 2022 appears to be off to a solid start with several projects trading last month for north of $500K per unit.
In one such deal, Sacramento-based Cohen Rojas Capital Partners paid $66.2M for The Lydian, a 129-unit apartment building in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. Cohen Rojas spent $513K per unit, well above last year's market average of $298K, according to a Colliers Denver Multifamily Market Report.
Crossing the $500K per-unit threshold is historically uncommon in the Denver area, with only a few sales in the last decade bringing in that kind of price, including the record-setting 2017 trade of Steele Creek, an ultra-high-end complex in the tony Cherry Creek neighborhood.
The Lydian opened in 2018 as developers sought to remake Denver’s storied Five Points neighborhood. With eight stories on just 0.7 acres, The Lydian is denser than many of its contemporaries, and it sits next to a popular light rail stop. Twenty-two of the units are income-restricted for people making 80% of the area median income or less.
The deal is the latest for Cohen Rojas in Denver, which made its first purchase in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in 2020 and has purchased seven properties since, according to the Denver Business Journal, which initially reported on The Lydian sale.
The Lydian isn’t the only complex to sell this year for more than $500K per unit.
Also in January, Equity Residential, the multifamily REIT controlled by real estate magnate Sam Zell, purchased two complexes totaling 594 units for a combined $311M. The buildings, dubbed Milo and Theo, are part of a $419M redevelopment effort on 26 acres at Ninth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. The project’s developers, CIM Group and locally based Continuum Partners, sold the buildings for $523K per unit.
Built along a high-growth corridor in the middle of a massive infill redevelopment, Milo and Theo offer the kind of upscale, new construction that Equity Residential has sought in Denver since its return to the market in 2018.
Rapidly escalating rents in metro areas across the country have made multifamily an even more attractive asset class than it was before the pandemic for investors seeking to maximize yields.
Millennial and Gen Z renters in Denver are adding fuel to the fire, with high home prices and a shortage of available for-sale product pushing apartment rents even higher. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear from 2019 Booker Prize winner, Bernardine Evaristo live.
Bernardine’s win – the first by a Black woman – was a revolutionary moment both for British culture and for her. After forty years as a trailblazing writer and advocate for inclusion, she moved from the margins to centre stage, taking her place in the spotlight at last. Her journey was a long one, but she made it, and she made history. In this exclusive live event, you will hear first-hand from Bernardine Evaristo her no-holds-barred account of how she did it, refusing to let any barriers stand in her way.
Bernardine will discuss her intimate and inspirational book Manifesto, which draws on her heritage, childhood, lifestyle, relationships and creativity. In the event she will discuss how she forged her own path of rebellion against convention and sustained a life-long commitment to the imaginative exploration of ‘untold’ stories. Manifesto offers a vital contribution to current conversations around social issues such as race, class, feminism, sexuality and aging.
Join us for this exclusive event where Bernardine celebrates staying true to yourself and to your vision. It’s about how to be unstoppable – in your craft, your work, your life. It is Bernardine Evaristo‘s manifesto for never giving up. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

GET YOUR BODY TIGHT WITH RED LIGHT
With so many different cosmetic treatments now available, choosing which ones to invest in can feel a little overwhelming. After all, you don’t want to spend money on a treatment that simply isn’t going to do what you want it to. This is especially true for many of the newer, more innovative treatments which may be harder to understand and more difficult to determine if they are effective and will work for you.
What Is Laser Lipo And How Does It Work?
Laser lipo is short for laser liposuction – a minimally invasive alternative to the conventional liposuction technique. Unlike traditional liposuction, during which the fat is removed from the body using a combination of movement to break up the fat and vacuum suction, laser liposuction is much less traumatic. Laser lipo uses heat from fiber-optic lasers at various wavelengths to increase the temperature within fat cells, liquefying the fat that they contain.
The added benefit of laser lipo is that the heat also encourages the production of collagen, which helps to make skin stronger, firmer and smoother. This means that as well as eliminating body fat, laser lipo will also tighten skin in the area to enhance your results.
Laser lipo is performed in office. Local anesthetic is applied to the area where the laser will enter the body and an incision is made into the skin. The concentrated laser light will be focused into the area to liquify the fat. Once complete, your technician will insert a small tube into the same incision to gently suction out the liquified fat. The incision is then closed using a suture.
Patients need to attend multiple sessions of laser lipo in order to achieve the maximum benefit from their treatment. The exact number of sessions will depend on the size of the area being treated and how much fat you hope to have removed. Each session will usually take less than 30 minutes and there is minimal downtime following your appointment.
The Results Of Laser Lipo
The complete results of your laser lipo procedure won’t be visible immediately. While you may start to notice an improvement in the appearance of the targeted area within a week, realistically, optimal results for both fat loss and skin tightening will be seen between 4 and 6 months following your laser lipo treatment.
The Importance Of A Consultation
Although many cosmetic treatments, including laser lipo, are suitable for a wide range of different patients, it’s essential that you don’t undergo any procedure without first having a consultation appointment. In fact, any reputable clinic will insist on it. This is to make sure that firstly, you are a good candidate for the treatment in terms of your general health, but also to ensure that the treatment is the right one to help you achieve the results that you are looking for.
If you would like more information about laser lipo, or to schedule your consultation, contact Boca Raton Laser Lipo at our office in Boca Raton, Florida. You can call (561) 448-6613 today to schedule an appointment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Hydraulic systems have had a profound impact on the modern world, offering incredible power and functionality in a variety of applications. This article aims to give you a comprehensive overview of what a hydraulic system is, how it works, and its uses across different industries.
Essentially, a hydraulic system harnesses the pressure of a fluid to generate power. The concept behind hydraulics is quite simple: pressure applied at one point is transferred to another point using an incompressible fluid, which can be either oil or water.
The primary components of the system include a fluid reservoir, a pump, a series of valves, and actuators (usually a hydraulic cylinder or a hydraulic motor). These components are connected via a sealed system of pipes or tubes. In essence, the system works by using a pump to force fluid from the reservoir into the system under high pressure. This pressure can then be manipulated to perform work using hydraulic actuators.
One of the primary benefits of a hydraulic system is its ability to multiply force. It does this by leveraging the principles of Pascal’s Law, where pressure applied to a fluid in a closed system is transmitted equally in all directions. This allows smaller forces or pressures to generate larger forces or pressure outputs, providing an enormous advantage for the handling of heavy loads or high pressure applications.
Hydraulic systems have a variety of applications and are extensively used in several industries. These include the automotive industry, aviation, construction and heavy equipment, manufacturing industries and many more. In every instance, the power of hydraulics is leveraged to perform a variety of tasks that would not be possible with human power alone.
In the automotive industry, for example, hydraulics are used in a vehicle’s braking system. When the brake pedal is depressed, it triggers the hydraulic system to apply pressure to the brake caliper, applying the brake and slowing or stopping the vehicle. The ease with which a driver can control a vehicle’s immense momentum with just a light push of the brake pedal is a testament to the power and effectiveness of hydraulic systems.
Similarly, the construction industry makes extensive use of hydraulics. Hydraulic machinery like excavators and loaders do heavy lifting and digging tasks which would be difficult, time-consuming, and dangerous for human workers.
In aviation, hydraulic systems play a crucial role in the movement and control of aircraft. They are used to operate systems like a plane’s landing gear, flaps and brakes.
Manufacturing industries use hydraulics in presses, lifts, and other machinery where a large amount of force is required over a small distance. They are also important in heavy lifting equipment.
One of the more specific uses of hydraulic systems is in the field of dust suppression in mining and construction sites. Dust suppression equipment Australia, for example, uses powerful hydraulic systems to operate machinery that helps mitigate the problem of airborne dust. Hydraulic pumps drive high-pressure water jets, which are used to moisten loose soil or dust, preventing it from becoming airborne and improving air quality on the site.
So in summary, hydraulic systems are an essential part of modern industry. They provide an efficient, powerful, and flexible solution for complex problems across a wide variety of fields. Whether in a car’s brakes, an airplane’s flaps, a digger’s excavator, or dust suppression equipment, hydraulic systems are a crucial technology that enables the modern world to function. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Creating a beautiful space for guests is one of the easiest ways to make money with your vacation rental. This doesn't just make you a better host, but it also helps to improve the guest experience and is key to successful marketing. If your guests post images of themselves in your home on Instagram, then you're doing well. However, don't make updates just for the sake of making improvements - this will most likely waste time and money.
Additionally, don't proceed to update your home excessively as spending too much on the respective projects will detract from their final results. To make smart upgrades, simply see what your competitors have in their own homes and slightly improve their respective amenities. Vacation rental properties also represent a lower commitment than other companies in the hospitality industry. A good vacation rental location should be one that attracts visitors all year round, allowing you to maintain a steady flow of customers.
Your guests need to have a clear picture of what it will be like to stay on your property, so one of the best investments you can make in your vacation rental business is professional photography. Owning a vacation rental property comes with a variety of additional costs compared to owning a traditional home. In fact, a vacation rental has less to do with the type of housing and more to do with the standard length of your leases.If you're ready for more than just supplemental income and are thinking about adding more units to your inventory, these ten ideas on how to make money with your vacation rental properties can help you maximize your income potential. Location is one of the main variables that will impact the profitability of vacation rental properties.
By making the right marketing, scheduling, and business decisions, you can position your vacation rental property for success. If you really want to maximize the potential of your vacation rental property, consider marketing your asset in more than one way. In light of the global pandemic, many people are looking for potential side hustles and are wondering how to make money on vacation rental properties. From setting rates and determining which listing sites are the best to staying on top of vacation rental tax guidelines, there's a ton of industry knowledge that first-time vacation rental owners must learn to succeed. While long-term rentals tend to be based on traditional fundamentals, the short-term nature of vacation rentals requires something more. In many cases, a vacation rental property presents a cheaper and more convenient option than staying in a hotel.
However, maintaining a profitable rental property can pose significant challenges for vacation rental owners. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

We asked some of the industry’s brightest minds how the public and private sector can work together to make a meaningful impact on the digital divide. Here’s what they had to say.
Director, Government Relations
“There isn’t a silver bullet solution for the digital divide, whether it’s adoption or access. Last spring, Midco provided free internet to low income families, and adoption wasn’t as high as we’d anticipated or hoped. Because of this, we’re partnering with the City of Sioux Falls to fund the Inclusive Digital Equity Alliance to study how to overcome barriers such as digital literacy. Having private sector providers, non-profits and the public at the table leads to dialogue and problem-solving.”
President & CEO
“Keeping people connected is more important than ever before, especially for kids. Our commitment remains strong, but we cannot do this alone. We need to keep partnering with cities, school districts, counties and community-based organizations to get families connected.”
SVP, Government & Public Relations
“I think it is imperative to create policies that encourage America’s private sector broadband providers to extend their existing fiber networks into unserved/underserved areas. It is important to have conversations with policymakers about the problems they are trying to solve. Mediacom has nearly 600,000 strand miles of fiber already deployed and a lot of that fiber is connecting hundreds of wireless towers throughout our 22 state footprint. Last year, we invested nearly $30 million to buy CBRS spectrum in 178 counties. In short, we have a ready-made solution to expand broadband coverage into unserved areas that not a lot of policymakers are aware of today. “ | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
