wxGUI Interactive Scatter Plot Tool¶
display, GUI, imagery, scatterplot, plot
Interactive Scatter Plot Tool allows analyzing group of raster maps. The tool is integrated into Supervised Classification Tool (see the screen shot below). Also it is possible to launch it from Map Display Window (Analyze map → Interactive Scatter Plot Tool). The main idea of the tool is that everything is linked together (scatter plots together and mapwindow with the scatter plots). The main feature of the tool is the interactivity, which allows user to:
- work with multiple plots, which represents multiple raster bands combinations,
- highlight plotted points in open scatter plots according to currently chosen pixels for classes by it’s training areas (supported only in Supervised Classification Tool),
- be able to define areas in plots and the tool will highlight pixels in map display window and corresponding points in other plots,
- plot of confidence ellipses.
TOOL CONTROLS LAYOUT¶
If editing mode is activated (the green polygon tool in toolbar), the areas which were selected in the scatter plots are highlighted. In the image you can see this area for scatter plot of bands B_6, B_7 inside the ellipse. Opacity and color of the selected area can be set in settings. The area corresponds to the active class (in this case clouds). Selected areas are subset of areas, which belongs to the category.
In the editing mode it is possible to select certain area by the polygon, which can be created and edited by tools in editing toolbar. After the area is selected, we can include or exclude it into active category by clicking on the first (plus) respectively second (minus) tool in the editing toolbar. In mapwindow corresponding pixels are shown by the class raster representing selected areas in scatter plots. In this case we can see clouds class raster (blue), forest class raster (green) and water class raster (red).
The tool can analyze only integer (CELL) rasters. It works with 8 bit range smoothly. The tool is capable of processing data up to 12 bit range, however it is not recommended open many scatter plots in 12/11 bit mode. It could require significant amount of memory and plot rendering time can be longer. Analyzing of raster data with higher range is not recommended. The raster range can be lowered using r.rescale.
Selection of areas in mapwindow is currently supported only if the tool was launched from Supervised Classification Tool.

Masayoshi Son’s conglomerate said late on Tuesday it had told T-Mobile U.S. to issue 48.75 million shares in common stock to it after conditions set out in an agreement made as part of the merger of SoftBank’s U.S. telco Sprint and T-Mobile were met.
The transaction bolsters the listed assets in SoftBank’s portfolio, doubling its T-Mobile U.S. stake to 7.64% from 3.75% currently, following the blockbuster listing of chip designer Arm in September.
“This increases the proportion of listed, measurable equity in hand on (SoftBank Group’s) balance sheet, and, even better, proportions of marginable equity relative to indebtedness,” Macquarie analyst Paul Golding wrote in a client note.
SoftBank’s shares have gained only around 14% year-to-date, compared with an almost 30% rise in the benchmark index. The group trades at a discount of around 45.5% to the value of its assets, according to Macquarie calculations.
Son has been a leading investor in late stage startups but has suffered a series of reversals including the bankruptcy of office-sharing firm WeWork, which was once the most valuable U.S. startup.
The T-Mobile U.S. transaction bumps SoftBank’s internal rate of return on its Sprint investment to 25.5%.
Other positives for the company include the recent rally in Arm’s shares, which closed on Tuesday around 44% above the initial public offering price. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dead Words hails from Fort Worth, TX, which is sort of close to Dallas for those geographically impaired. Then again, give the size of Texas, “sort of close” could be really far away, but just take my word for it, that the two are near each other. So, now that you know where they’re from, you should also know that this ep follows the release of their full-length There Must Be Someone Out There in late December 2013. In true punk rock fashion, the band has spent a good bit of time on the road and recently returned from a jaunt that took them all the way to New York City and Washington DC where they were frequently posting pictures on their Facebook page of the iconic places they were hanging out at. As if the tour wasn’t enough, the band will soon be playing a short festival in San Antonio, Texas with the likes of Grave Robber, xLooking Forwardx, FBS, and OCD.
Melodic punk rock abounds on the ep and brings to mind everything from ALL to later Descendents to Green Day and other poppy-sounding punk bands. Production quality is good, although I would like to the guitars to have a bit more bite and be a bit more distinct, but that’s a minor quibble. “Burn” is the fastest, most punk, least poppy of the songs on the ep and as such is my favorite. That being said, the rest of the songs are more mid-tempo, but still have that catchy quality that good songs in the genre all have. Performances all around are strong and like good ep’s do, this one makes you want more from the band.

Step 1: Take a MCRGO CPL Class
The first step is to complete the statutorily required class. Concealed pistol license classes are frequently offered throughout the state every week and can be found HERE. Classes last around 8 hours. This includes a 5 hour classroom portion teaching ammunition knowledge and the fundamentals of pistol shooting; pistol shooting positions; firearms law; and avoiding a criminal attack and controlling a violent confrontation. The class will also include at least 3 hours of instruction on a shooting range. The cost of a CPL class will vary significantly with the median cost being between $50-$150 depending on the facility and amenities offered. If you can’t find a currently scheduled class near you, you can find MCRGO instructors in your area HERE.
So, why choose a MCRGO CPL class? MCRGO is Michigan’s largest non-profit firearms organization and the largest state-based firearms organization in the country. The organization is non-partisan and has an active focus on increasing diversity. The great majority of firearms laws that affect you come from our state constitution and state laws rather than the federal government. This includes our right to carry for self-defense both openly and concealed. MCRGO led the effort to win shall-issue concealed carry in Michigan, to achieve preemption and the Castle Doctrine, and most recently CPL Reform including the elimination of discriminatory county gun boards. Unlike the national organizations, MCRGO CPL classes have a Michigan specific focus on carry outside the home. The legal portion of the class is taught by the state’s most prominent firearms attorneys. MCRGO’s professional staff is easy to reach throughout the week to address your questions and concerns. Taking a MCRGO CPL class gives you a full year of membership in the organization including the popular Ask an Attorney feature. MCRGO doesn’t hound its members for extra donations. MCRGO will never sell, lend, lease, or otherwise distribute your personal information to outside parties including political candidates.
Step 2: Apply with your County Clerk
Once you successfully complete your class, you will be given a certificate. You have five years from the date the certificate is issued to apply for your concealed pistol license with your county clerk. The cost of the initial concealed pistol license is $100 plus an additional $15 for fingerprinting or $115 total. Fingerprinting will most often be done by the county sheriff but can also be done by another entity including the county clerk if it provides accepted fingerprinting capability. It is no longer necessary to bring in photographs as the digital photo on your state identification will be supplied by the Michigan Secretary of State. If approved, you will generally receive your license within two weeks. A Michigan CPL is valid until the applicant’s date of birth that falls not less than four years or more than five years after the license is issued. You can find the Michigan CPL application and instructions online HERE.
Step 3: Join MCRGO
If you take a MCRGO CPL class, you will be given a one year membership in the organization. While membership in MCRGO is not required to carry concealed in Michigan, this page explains the benefits of being a MCRGO member. You can join MCRGO without taking a CPL class HERE.
Step 4: Become an Instructor
If you’ve held a Michigan Concealed Pistol License for at least one year and are interested in training others, you can apply to become a MCRGO CPL Instructor HERE. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
We are the Maryland Coalition for Responsible Transit (MCRT).
The Maryland Coalition for Responsible Transit is organized for the purpose of educating and encouraging public participation in the development and evaluation of current transportation proposals to ensure that transit projects are economically viable, minimize negative social and environmental impacts, and are accessible to communities.
We believe the proposed Northeast Maglev/Baltimore-Washington Rapid Rail's SCMaglev (superconducting magnetic levitation) train project must be stopped to implement more acceptable future transit projects that meet our criteria of a much lower price tag, and much less risk and impact on communities. Thus, we support the "No Build" option. Initially, we worked to stop this project through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, specifically by building public capacity and preparing a 395-page document identifying questions, concerns, questionable data, and analyses, in response to the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) SCMaglev Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS).
Shortly after MCRT's formation, nonprofit representatives began attending weekly meetings with other SCMaglev opposition groups in strategy sessions. We have since recruited other board members from this group. Our current board and affiliated activists represent a broad segment of neighborhoods along the proposed routes from Bladensburg - Port Towns/Woodlawn/ Beacon Heights/New Carrollton/Lanham/Greenbelt in Prince George's County to Linthicum-Shipley in Anne Arundel County.
Most of our board members are career professionals and long-term activists who have accumulated an impressive body of in-depth knowledge about the SCMaglev project and opposition efforts. We continue to recruit members and build this organization.
We are currently awaiting the FRA, which has placed their review schedule on pause. While waiting, we are conducting letter-writing campaigns, holding briefings, and gathering other like-minded people and organizations to join with MCRT to oppose the building and operating the SCMaglev. Allied organizations come from Baltimore City, Anne Arundel County, Prince George’s County, and Washington, D.C. Several federal agencies, such as NASA, U.S. Department of Interior, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have publicly expressed their concerns and opposition to this project. To see the library of opposition statements, letters, and articles, click on “SCMaglev Opposition” tab above.
We hope you will join us and support us in the fight. If you can, go to our “Home” and click on the Donate button. All donations are appreciated.

The fund, Waha Islamic Income Fund SP, will invest in sharia-compliant assets across the sukuk and equity markets, and will have a global outreach for investments, the Bahrain-based media reports.
The fund is the third to be added to the entity’s asset management business.
“While our existing funds have some Sharia compliant elements in them, there has been a steadily growing demand from our existing clients over the past couple of years for us to develop such a fully-fledged Islamic fund,” said CEO Amr AlMenhali.
“We are confident that it will be well received because it avoids investment in prohibited or controversial activities or asset and business sectors that may be considered as particularly risky or potentially volatile. It will only invest in entities that have relatively low gearing,” stated AlMenhali.
Waha Capital focuses its investments in four business, namely Principal Investments, Capital Markets, Infrastructure and Industrial Real Estate. Its investment portfolios include sectors such as aircraft leasing, healthcare, consumer finance and offshore oil & gas services.
Investors represent a diversified mix of institutions (pension funds, endowments, SWFs, and family offices) from North America, Europe and the GCC. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
How long should a product’s life cycle be? Of course, that depends a lot on the product: People keep their cars for years or even decades, whereas a toothbrush usually lasts only a couple of months.
Now let’s add another dimension: How long should a connected product’s life cycle be? With more and more products being connected nowadays, getting to that answer is significantly less obvious and more complicated. Professor Ross Anderson of Cambridge University touched on the topic in his talk at 36C3 (the 36th Chaos Communication Congress), and we wanted to consider it in a little more detail.
The life cycle of a connected product
Products without Internet access are much less likely than connected products to be hacked and turned against their owners. From an IT security standpoint, that means most products that aren’t “smart” or connected don’t need as much attention.
Connected products are different; they need to be secured during their whole life cycle. In some cases — with cars, for example — security and safety go hand in hand. Remember the hacked Jeep? That is what can happen to connected products, and it’s life-threatening.
Keeping products secure requires support and regular software updates, though. Updates must be timely, and each product will require a certain number of people. And because businesses tend to present new products more and more frequently, you could soon find yourself in need of a security team — just to keep everything running.
So, the answer seems simple: The life cycle of a connected product should be as short as possible. Take smartphones, which tend to stick around no more than three years now. Some companies stop patching their smartphones after a year or two, and some just forget about them after release. But that brings up another issue: sustainability.
What does carbon have to do with product life cycle?
Ecologically savvy customers tend to choose green products when possible, of course, but that flies in the face of the “as short as possible” approach. Every product has a carbon footprint.
Your connected products should be green; that much is clear. But what is green? Decreasing a product’s fuel or electricity consumption is not enough; in most cases, buying a new, “greener” product harms the planet more than keeping your old, not-so-green one. For example, a typical car emits less carbon dioxide over its driving life than is emitted during its production. And manufacturing a smartphone takes about 10 times the energy the phone consumes over its usable life.
Basically, that means to stay on the green side, we all need to keep our phone and car purchases to a minimum. Therefore, to help spare our planet, the product life cycle should be as long as possible.
The contradiction isn’t hard to spot: The life cycle of a connected product should be short to minimize support costs, and it should be as long as possible to protect the planet. What to do?
Solving the life cycle puzzle
This seemingly intractable problem may actually have a solution. You can cut support costs not only by shortening a product’s life cycle, but also by making it more secure in the first place. We mean, secure by design. A secure product is unlikely to need regular updates to close vulnerabilities, meaning it will require less support over its life cycle.
Of course, making something secure by design is easier said than done. It requires creating products on a secure foundation — for example, employing our KasperskyOS, the micro-core-based operating system with the default deny feature, which means it allows only explicitly authorized actions, and doesn’t allow anything else. That doesn’t leave much room for vulnerabilities, because a vulnerability is usually the ability to perform actions that the device creators didn’t think of.
Secure-by-design systems such as KasperskyOS enable you to build connected products that may have a long life cycle because of their lower support costs. And longer product life cycles keep your business sustainable from the ecological standpoint. Problem solved.

In a world where our well-being is at the forefront of our thoughts, navigating the complexities of healthcare can often feel like traversing a labyrinth of options and obstacles. Zdrowa dieta The intertwined domains of medicine, wellness, and accessibility can be overwhelming to decipher, leaving many feeling adrift in a sea of uncertainties. However, against this backdrop of intricacies lies a tapestry of opportunities for individuals to take charge of their health and empower themselves to make informed decisions.
Healthcare transcends mere check-ups and treatments; it encompasses a holistic approach to nurturing both the body and the mind. Understanding the multifaceted landscape of healthcare involves recognizing the importance of preventive care, the significance of mental health awareness, and the impact of socio-economic factors on our well-being. By delving into the realms of nutrition, exercise, mental wellness, and preventative screenings, individuals can proactively engage in their healthcare journey, steering themselves towards a path of vitality and resilience.
Challenges in Healthcare
In today’s fast-paced world, the healthcare industry faces numerous challenges that impact both providers and patients alike. One key challenge is the rising cost of healthcare services, which puts a strain on individuals and families trying to access much-needed care. This financial burden can lead to delays in seeking treatment or even forgoing necessary medical care altogether, resulting in negative health outcomes.
Another significant challenge in healthcare is the increasing complexity of insurance processes and healthcare regulations. Navigating insurance coverage, filing claims, and understanding policy requirements can be overwhelming for both healthcare providers and patients. As regulations continue to evolve, staying compliant while delivering quality care can become a daunting task for many healthcare professionals.
Additionally, the growing demand for healthcare services, coupled with a shortage of skilled healthcare professionals, presents a major challenge in ensuring timely access to care. Long wait times for appointments and overworked medical staff can lead to decreased patient satisfaction and potential lapses in quality of care. Addressing these workforce shortages and streamlining healthcare processes are vital steps in overcoming these challenges and improving overall healthcare delivery.
In patient-centered care, the focus shifts to the individual’s needs and preferences. This approach values open communication between healthcare providers and patients, fostering a collaborative relationship. By actively involving patients in decisions about their care, it empowers them to take ownership of their health.
Engaging patients in shared decision-making leads to more personalized treatment plans. Healthcare providers consider not just the medical aspects but also the patient’s values and goals. This tailored approach enhances the overall quality of care received, contributing to better health outcomes and increased patient satisfaction.
Patient-centered care is rooted in empathy and respect for each person’s unique experiences. It recognizes the importance of understanding patients’ backgrounds, beliefs, and lifestyles to deliver compassionate and effective care. By prioritizing the individual at the center of the healthcare journey, patient-centered care paves the way for a more inclusive and supportive healthcare system.
Innovations in Healthcare
Advancements in technology have revolutionized the healthcare industry, leading to improved patient care and outcomes. Telemedicine, for instance, enables patients to consult with healthcare providers remotely, eliminating barriers to access and increasing convenience. Wearable devices and health apps allow individuals to track their health metrics in real-time, empowering them to take proactive measures towards their well-being.
Precision medicine is another groundbreaking innovation that tailors medical treatment to individual characteristics such as genetics and lifestyle. By analyzing a patient’s unique genetic makeup, healthcare providers can prescribe personalized treatment plans that are more effective and have fewer side effects. This individualized approach not only enhances patient outcomes but also contributes to the overall efficiency of healthcare delivery.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly being integrated into healthcare systems to streamline processes, enhance diagnostics, and predict health trends. These technologies have the potential to analyze vast amounts of data quickly and accurately, helping healthcare professionals make informed decisions and provide targeted interventions. By leveraging the power of AI, healthcare organizations can optimize resource allocation and improve the quality of care for patients. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
For B2B companies, traditional accounting methods often fail to capture the full spectrum of business value. In a world where innovation is currency, companies must look beyond the balance sheet to stay competitive. Innovative accounting strategies can provide deeper insights, drive smarter decision-making, and ultimately, influence success in meaningful ways. These strategies also help businesses anticipate market trends and adapt to economic shifts more effectively. They are not just about numbers but understanding the narrative behind them, enabling more strategic business maneuvers.
Technology is revolutionizing how B2B companies approach their finances. Utilizing advanced accounting software, such as that offered by Sage, businesses are able to streamline workflows, improve accuracy, and free up valuable time. When working with a Sage consultant, companies gain the expertise needed to customize accounting solutions to their unique needs. This strategic partnership can lead to the development of custom reports, better budget forecasting, and a more robust understanding of financial data. The incorporation of AI and machine learning can further refine these processes, providing predictive insights and automating routine tasks. As technology evolves, so too does the capacity for these companies to handle complex financial scenarios with precision.
Moreover, this technological integration helps in adhering to compliance standards and reducing financial risks, thereby enhancing operational transparency. Enhanced data analytics offered by modern tools also provide actionable insights that can influence strategic business decisions. These advanced systems ensure that financial data is consistent and reliable, allowing for better risk management and strategic planning. This integration not only supports day-to-day operations but also prepares companies for future regulatory changes.
Moving away from purely financial metrics, value-centered accounting focuses on both tangible and intangible assets. B2B companies can benefit from examining customer relationships, intellectual property, and brand reputation as part of their accounting practices.
This broader view aids businesses in identifying their true value drivers and investing accordingly. By quantifying these intangibles, companies can better articulate their value in communications with stakeholders and potential investors. Additionally, this approach aligns financial performance with long-term business strategy and innovation, fostering a culture that supports sustained growth.
Sustainability has become a buzzword across industries, but it’s also a measurable factor in accounting. Companies are now incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics into their reports.
This not only demonstrates ethical practices but also appeals to investors and customers who are increasingly making decisions based on sustainability performance. It also positions the company as a forward-thinking entity that prioritizes long-term viability over short-term gains. Tracking these metrics can enhance corporate responsibility and potentially lead to lower cost of capital due to better risk management.
The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is no longer just a number cruncher but a strategic advisor. Today’s CFO must possess a blend of financial acumen and business insight to guide a company through complex market landscapes. By embracing innovative accounting strategies, CFOs can provide leadership that extends well beyond traditional financial management. They play a crucial role in risk assessment and management, ensuring that financial strategies align with overall business goals. This expanded role includes steering corporate strategy towards disruptive technologies and market trends, positioning the company for future growth.
Innovation in accounting also means rethinking how future projections are made. B2B companies are utilizing scenario planning and predictive analytics to envision multiple future landscapes. This proactive approach enables businesses to be more agile, responsive, and ready to seize opportunities as they arise.
Advanced forecasting tools help identify potential market disruptions before they happen, giving companies a competitive edge. Additionally, through these tools, companies can simulate various financial outcomes based on different strategic decisions, enabling more informed decision-making.
Innovative accounting strategies offer B2B companies a powerful toolkit for navigating the complexities of modern business. By incorporating technology, focusing on value, promoting sustainability, empowering CFOs, and leveraging strategic forecasting, these businesses can achieve a more comprehensive and forward-looking financial approach.
Working with a Sage consultant can be a pivotal move in adopting such advanced practices, ensuring that a company not only understands its current financial position but is also well-equipped for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Being aware of these dynamic strategies positions B2B companies at the forefront of financial innovation, ensuring their lasting success in the competitive business arena. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Colorado Avalanche hope to get a winning streak going as they face the Pittsburgh Penguins on the third game of their roadie.
The Colorado Avalanche are coming into the PPG Paints Arena to face the reigning Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins for the first time this season.
The Penguins are coming off a 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. They’re 5-5-0 in their last 10, and they’re in possession of the final Eastern Conference wild card spot by virtue of one point.
The Avalanche are coming off a 7-3 beating of the Florida Panthers. They’re 4-5-1 in their last 10, including a four-game losing skid. They’re five points out of a playoff spot with four teams ahead of them in the race.
All-time, the Colorado Avalanche have had a good record against the Pittsburgh Penguins, having gone 17-8-3-3(ties). Last year, the two teams split the series with Colorado winning in Pittsburgh in overtime.
How to Enjoy the Game
Game time: December 11 , 5:00 pm MT
TV Networks: Altitude TV (Avs feed), TVAS, SN (Pens feed)

Nate vs Sid
The story will always a comparison of Nathan MacKinnon to Sidney Crosby because they’re both from the small town of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. There shouldn’t be a comparison, though, because no one is really saying MacKinnon is as good as Crosby.
He is, however, our best player. And this season at least he doesn’t stack up too badly against Crosby. Nate leads the team with 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) and has five points in the last four games. He was named star of the month for the entire NHL in November.
He also scored this filthy goal against the Panthers:
Crosby is second on the Penguins for scoring with 32 points (13 goals, 19 assists). He’s on a bit of a hot streak, which is never good for opponents, having recorded seven points in the last five games.
Sidney Crosby has scored a lot of filthy goals in his career, but he didn’t do so recently. So, I’ll just show you this rather pedestrian Crosby goal:
More from Mile High Sticking
- Could Colorado Avalanche move on from Pavel Francouz next offseason?
- 4 goalies to replace Pavel Francouz if he has to miss time
- Colorado Avalanche make sneaky signing with Tatar
- Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog could return in 2023-24 playoffs
- Colorado Avalanche rookie face-off tournament roster
The Colorado Avalanche have needed their best players to be their best, and that’s happened to varying degrees. MacKinnon has certainly been impressive. His linemates, Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen, haven’t put up quite the same numbers, but they’re still good.
The Avalanche have needed some secondary scoring, too, and they weren’t getting that for a while. However, in the Panthers game, we saw goals by both Colin Wilson and Erik Johnson. And both Matthew Nieto and Carl Soderberg potted in empty-netters.
Even the Penguins can’t win consistently by being the Sid Crosby Show, so we can’t rely solely on a MacK Attack every night.
Kerfoot is Kerplexing
Alexander Kerfoot also scored a goal against the Panthers in what I’m beginning to think of as the Kerfoot Special — by deflecting it off his body. He may have actually gotten his stick on the puck in the goal below, but that’s not clear:
Kerfoot has been perplexing lately. He’s third on the Avalanche for both goals and points. He’s fifth in the NHL among rookies for points with 21.
Yet he was also directly responsible for two goals against the Avs recently:
He was also on the ice for some of the other goals, but he wasn’t the biggest culprit in those cases. That said, his CorsiFor is 57.4% and his Relative Corsi is 12.7. That’s not too shabby.
Oh, and he’s shooting at a ridiculous 31% accuracy right now. Surely that’s not sustainable, but, wow. (Of course, at least two of his nine goals didn’t go in off actual shots…)
I’d say Alexander Kerfoot is a typical Avalanche player — he makes gigantic blunders, but overall he’s good.
The Colorado Avalanche will face the Pittsburgh Penguins one more time, at home on December 18. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

One of the main elements of President Donald Trump’s campaign agenda was to improve infrastructure. But there has been one big thing holding up achieving some of those goals. The Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have blocked dozens of Trump’s executive branch nominees.
And the Democrats’ tactic of resisting everything Trump, even if it makes no sense, may be putting people’s lives in danger.
Deputy Secretary of Transportation Jeff Rosen is very upset with the failure to confirm the nomination of Ronald Batory to be the head of the Federal Railway Administration and the top railroad safety regulator. He’s worked in the railroad system for 40 years.
Why would anyone hold up this man’s nomination?
Rosen wanted Chuck Schumer to explain it to him.
Rosen sent a letter to Schumer on Jan. 31 following the crash of an Amtrak train in Virginia that was carrying congressional Republicans to their annual retreat in West Virginia. The train had struck a garbage truck on the tracks, killing the driver and injuring some of the train passengers.
According to USA Today, that crash was but one of several high-profile Amtrak train crashes or derailments over the past few years, the most recent of which occurred Feb. 4 in South Carolina when an Amtrak train was accidentally shifted to a side rail and slammed into a parked CSX freight train, killing the conductor and engineer.
Other prominent accidents included the Dec. 18, 2017 derailment in DuPont, Washington, which killed three and injured dozens more, as well as two separate incidents in Philadelphia in 2015 and 2016 that killed a total of 10 people and injured hundreds more.
And the accidents are rising. But Schumer is still stalling Batory’s approval for no explainable reason.
“At that time, (Republican South Dakota) Sen. (John) Thune, who chairs the Commerce committee, said months have gone by and now we’re dealing with the aftermath of this tragedy, it’s time to confirm Ron Batory, and he asked for unanimous consent,” recalled Rosen, in reference to remarks in the Senate following the Washington state derailment, according to The Daily Caller.
“Senator Schumer stood up and just said ‘I object’ and then he walked away and didn’t elaborate,” Rosen continued. “So he didn’t say when he objected what the grounds were. It’s inexplicable that after those months and after the tragedy he was unwilling to put safety first, but he didn’t give the rationale.”
Rosen said Schumer still hasn’t responded to him or given any reason for not approving Batory. There was some suggestion that Schumer was holding the nomination up to get a rail project for New York.
Rosen explained that he told Schumer it was in the national interest and the interests of the safety of Americans and Schumer’s constituents in New York, but that didn’t seem to move him.
Rosen argued that the blocking Batory’s confirmation was preventing an adequate appraisal of safety issues.
And Batory isn’t the only one. There are 63 other nominees being filibustered by the minority. Rosen said this was unheard of, and called it “inexplicable and irresponsible.”
Holding these people up just for the sake of resisting is wrong and. now may be costing lives.
Schumer needs to be held to account and allow the nominations to go through.

The Daily Mail claims Leslie McDonagh, of Manchester, England, was recently arrested for calling the police on a McDonald’s that placed onions on his burger.
The 53-year-old is allergic to onions and challenged the restaurant’s manager to a fist fight. When officers arrived, they asked Leslie to leave before he dropped to the ground and grabbed one of their legs.
Leslie drank six cans of lager before entering McDonald’s. He was sentenced to 12 months of community service after being arrested for being drunk and disorderly. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Ariana Grande’s Massive ‘7 Rings’ Royalties: Why She Won’t See Most of the Money
It's no secret that Ariana Grande's song "7 Rings" is a bonafide hit, but did you know that she reportedly signed away 90% of the songwriter royalties to other people?
It turns out, all the money she's earned from her single are going to Rodgers & Hammerstein, the composers of the song “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. In case you didn't know, "7 Rings" samples the melody from the famous musical. Instead of "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens/Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens," Grande sings the lyrics, "Breakfast at Tiffany's and bottles of bubbles/Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble/Lashes and diamonds, ATM machines/Buy myself all of my favorite things."
The song credits a total of ten writers, including Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, so the pop star has to split the other 10% with her other co-writers. Plus, once you factor in all the money that's going to her label, Grande is only making a tiny percentage compared to the millions she could be earning. In other words, Concord—the music company that owns Rodgers’s and Hammerstein's song catalogs—are the real winners here.
Grande's label Republic Records reportedly went to Concord in January to make a licensing deal and they all agreed on these terms. Also, the company’s chief publishing executive Jake Wisely told the New York Times that Grande's song “wouldn’t exist in its current form were it not for ‘My Favorite Things.’”
According to NYT, this means the company "stands to make millions of dollars from the song, while Ms. Grande and her seven co-writers will each get just a fraction of what Concord makes." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The gallery is pleased to present “Survey”, our first solo exhibition of work by American photographer Joel Meyerowitz. Meyerowitz, born in 1938 in New York City, began taking photographs in 1962. Although he has always seen himself as a street photographer in the tradition of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, he transformed the genre with his pioneering use of colour. As an early advocate of colour photography in the mid 1960’s, Meyerowitz was instrumental in changing the attitude toward the use of colour photography from one of resistance to nearly universal acceptance. This exhibition displays a selection of key black and white images from early works that captured the attention of influential curators. Also included are early colour works from Europe in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, which illustrate his mastery of composing with colour as well as form.

Having been signed as Monaco Increase Management’s most recent driver acquisition, Lirim Zendeli joined MIM’s top staff for a journey to the Albanian capital city of Tirana upon the invitation of the Italian Ambassador Mr.Fabrizio Bucci. The invitation came in the frame of the launch of project Auto Moto Park, a tender which will allow Albania to have its first top-class racing track near the city of Elbasan, about 45 Km south-east of Tirana. MIM’s CEO and founder Salvatore Gandolfo, together with the Monaco-based company’s advisors, attended an evening at the Embassy in which the importance of the social and cultural connections between Italy and Albania was highlighted. The initiative clearly shows how Gandolfo and MIM are willing to apply synergies in a number of countries which are often not properly considered for the development of motorsports culture.
“It’s a real privilege for me to be part of this project as the first Albanian driver”, said 23-year old Zendeli, who had just flown back from the United States for the occasion after taking part in his USF Pro 2000 maiden testing session in Phoenix. On the following day, Lirim Zendeli sat alongside Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama in the evaluation commission as the various proposals for the sporting facility were presented. Eventually, the project from former F1 driver Alex Wurz came out as the winner of the contest as Lirim prepared to fly back to the US to continue his preparation for the championship which will start March 3-5 in St.Petersburg, along with the IndyCar series of Lirim’s MIM ‘co-worker’ Alex Palou. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Website images can be a powerful tool when used right.
Having the right images on your website can heavily influence website visitors. Images increase interest for website users and enhance their experience. Don’t underestimate the importance of images on your website.
Website image choice and preparation is critical. Following are some important considerations and questions to ask yourself before adding images to your website.
Are your images web-ready?
Photos for your website must be made web-ready. An image that is not in the correct format and size for the web will load slowly. You can have your web designer do this, or learn to do it with software like Adobe Photoshop, BlogStomp, Image Optimizer, Microsoft Office, TinyPNG, Reduce Images Online, GIMP (learn about) (download here), or with a WordPress plugin. Learn more about optimizing images in this Elegant Themes article. You will also want to make sure that your image is the appropriate dimension for your purpose using software like Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or Microsoft Paint.
Do you need some high-resolution images?
Images are powerful tools. A striking, high-resolution splash image can really get the attention and interest you want for your website. Even for medium to small images and graphics, quality matters. Grainy or poor-quality images reflect poorly on your company and do not make the impression you want. There are many reasonable sources of stock images. Make sure that you have purchased the proper license for any stock images that you use on your business’ website. Not doing so can be a costly mistake.
Do you need on-site photography, product photography or a headshot?
Hiring a professional photographer may be a wise investment. High-resolution photography of your product and your business for online and print purposes is a great way to get your brand out there! Do you have a professional headshot? Many people underestimate the value of a quality, professional headshot.
Do you need a Logo?
Top 5 Purposes of a LOGO
- Recognition. Your Logo represents your company identity – your brand.
- Be unique. Stand out from the crowd and be noticed.
- Personality. Serious? Creative? Fun? Reflect your company’s personality!
- Professionalism. A quality Logo reflects your company’s professionalism.
- Impression. First impressions count.
If you’re gonna do it, do it right.
A professional Logo is an investment.
It is a tool. You will use it in print, on the web, on your signs, in your advertisements.
Your Logo will represent you and your business.
It should make the impression you want, and it should serve you for years.
Do you have a Favicon?
What is a Favicon? [as defined in Wikipedia] “A favicon pron.: /ˈfævɪkɒn/ (short for Favorite icon), also known as a shortcut icon, Web site icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon, is a file containing one or more small icons…Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page’s favicon in the browser’s address bar (sometimes in the history as well) and next to the page’s name in a list of bookmarks. Browsers that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page’s favicon next to the page’s title on the tab…”
Bottom line? If you can make and get your Favicon image to show – even if it is only showing in one or two browsers, it can provide an ongoing identifier for your site for those who visit it, bookmark it, etc. It’s a great little branding plug that you should make use of!
Find a Graphic Designer that you like.
Even if you already have a Logo and Favicon, you may need banners, vectors, ads, business cards, brochures or other work for print or the web, and it is good to find a designer who can cover these needs for you when they arise.
Great website images will serve you well.
Web surfing is a very visual and interactive experience for the modern user. Make use of all of the visual potential of your website and it will pay off! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

“The first time I met Elizabeth Warren, she had just come home from a walk with her husband and her dog at Fresh Pond, the reservoir near her house in Cambridge, Mass. It was a sunny day in February, a couple of weeks after Warren announced her candidacy for president, and she was wearing a navy North Face jacket and black sneakers with, as usual, rimless glasses and small gold earrings. Her hair had drifted a bit out of place.“
The New York Times‘ recent piece on Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren began—I’m talking the first paragraph here—with the same damn gender stereotypes that have long plagued women politicians. These stereotypical trappings position women within the family, and as people to be seen, or looked at, rather than heard.
I shouldn’t be surprised. But I sort of am. I’m certainly disappointed. Again.
The article illustrated what is wrong with much of the media coverage of women politicians in just the first three paragraphs. It invoked stereotypes. It reminded us of Warren’s gender before her politics.
It’s typical for news organizations to write stories about women politicians that lead with information about their families, situating them as occupying the “traditional” role of women. For added measure, reporters will remind us, too, that they are heterosexual. Then there’s that second sentence of the article that describes what Warren is wearing—such a cliché for those of us who study women, politics and media. To round out the images of family and fashion, in the third paragraph—after a second mostly about the family dog—the Times offers up an image of Warren in the kitchen.
And it’s not just Warren who is suffering: Already there has been much media discussion about the personal relationship between former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown and Democratic contender Kamala Harris, asking readers to consider that Harris may have slept her way to the top; recently, we even saw media discussion centered around presidential hopeful Kirsten Gillibrand eating fried chicken. Off the campaign trail, there is no shortage of discussion about the appearances and stylistic decisions made by U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other young women in Congress.
This trifecta of family, fashion and food succeeds in conjuring the most stereotypical images about women—that their place is in the home, caring for family, and that how they look is important.
Years of research, not just in the U.S. but in other parts of the world, shows how women politicians are treated differently from their male counterparts by news media—often assessed for their appearance and clothing and, more often than male politicians, associated with their familial and home status. Male politicians, conversely, are more often talked about in terms of their political achievements, and masculine qualities associated with power.
This is really important, because these are the aspects of political life voters consider important. Masculine traits are the same traits people expect in a leader. When media outlets treat women politicians as women first, and politicians second, they are feeding into an already sexist culture where many voters believe that men make better politicians than women. A new poll found 20 percent of Democratic and independent men responding to a survey agreed with the statement that women are “less effective in politics than men.”
Journalists writing about women politicians can and should do better. Women running for and already in office need to be treated like candidates and politicians, not like women candidates and women politicians. Reminding audiences of women’s place in the home, and family, rather than the world of politics, does little to help break culturally-steeped ideas about women, politics and power.
When a woman is running for president and a major newspaper highlights that woman’s marital status in the first sentence, it is neglecting to place her politics, her platform and record, at the forefront. It’s bad reporting, and it’s bad for the country. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Helper Visiting Changi Jurassic Mile Allegedly Struck By Golf Ball From Tanah Merah Country Club
UPDATE (23 Oct): Changi Airport Group shared that they are looking into ways to minimise the risk of stray golf balls heading towards Changi Jurassic Mile.
The full statement is available below.
The Changi Jurassic Mile in Changi has been a popular attraction for Singaporeans ever since it opened earlier this month.
While most visits to the attraction turned out rather enjoyable, one netizen’s trip to the spot left a sour taste in his mouth.
During his recent visit, Mr Yap’s domestic helper was allegedly struck by a golf ball from a nearby country club. He took to Facebook on Thursday (22 Oct) night to recount the accident.
Changi Jurassic Mile visitor collapses after getting struck by golf ball
According to the Facebook post, Mr Yap visited Changi Jurassic Mile with his family and helper on Thursday (22 Oct) evening at around 6pm.
As they were walking past the Parasaurolophus exhibit, Mr Yap allegedly heard a “loud thud”.
He instinctively turned around, only to find his helper falling to her knees while clutching her head.
Turns out, Mr Yap’s helper had allegedly been struck by a golf ball from the nearby Tanah Merah Country Club.
Here’s a map showing the proximity of the golf course and Changi Jurassic Mile.
Despite how close the sites are, nettings were reportedly deemed redundant due to the wind direction.
Immediately received medical help
Thankfully for Mr Yap’s helper, an auxiliary police officer nearby immediately rendered help.
An ambulance later arrived at the scene and a doctor confirmed that the helper sustained a “head injury with bruising”.
The doctor also advised the family to monitor the helper’s situation at home. Thankfully, her situation reportedly appeared “fine” at the time of the Facebook post.
Though this is the first time such an incident had happened, Mr Yap shared that the relevant agencies will be looking at how such cases can be prevented moving forward.

Carving a jack-o’-lantern? Here’s why it’s better to wait till last minute in NJ
Carving a jack-o'-lantern is always fun to do for Halloween. Sure, maybe some pumpkins are easier to carve than others. And maybe hollowing them out can be a nuisance. But at the end of the day, it's worth it.
Not just in New Jersey, but all over the country, countless towns and organizations host pumpkin carving contests. It's truly amazing to see what creative ideas come to life on the face of a pumpkin.
There are also carving kits available for those who'd prefer to trace their own masterpiece. And of course, there's the classic pumpkin face looking at you with that smile and three to four teeth inside its mouth.
With so much excitement, most might opt to dive right into carving the minute they pick their pumpkin. But it's not always wise to do it so soon. In fact, the closer you wait to Halloween to carve, the better.
Yes, it might require a lot of willpower to wait, but it's definitely worth it. Here's why holding out till the last minute for that jack-o'-lantern will work in your favor.
They'll attract critters
One drawback to carving jack-o'-lanterns too early is that it'll attract unwanted guests. Critters of all types will try to crawl inside to feed on the soft pumpkin interior.
And it's not just flies and other types of bugs. Slugs will also make their way inside to enjoy the deliciousness the pumpkin has to offer. And the longer the pumpkin sits out, the worse the problem will get.
They'll also be a noticeable difference while the weather's still warm. Typically, the warmer it is, the greater the impact. By waiting closer to Halloween, you not only reduce the chances of this becoming a big problem, but it'll also be cooler out, which will help the jack-o'-lantern last longer.
They'll rot faster
A lesson I learned a while back. Not only will the bugs attack a jack-o'-lantern if carved too early, but they will also rot faster.
Now one can argue that a rotten jack-o'-lantern might add to the spookiness of Halloween, which may definitely be true to an extent. But it's also a pain to have to deal with when it comes to cleanup.
Not to mention the smell. If a pumpkin is carved weeks ahead of Halloween, it's more likely to become nasty and disgusting by the time the big day arrives.
They may collapse
Finally, the increase in bugs and exposure to the elements might prove to be too much for the jack-o'-lantern that by the time Halloween rolls around, it's too late. All your hard work is no longer standing.
And it's unfortunate, too. Not only does pumpkin carving take quite a bit of work to do, but now it's deformed to a point where it's almost unrecognizable.
And as mentioned in the last point, how much harder it is to clean up. At that point, probably the only way to transport it to a garbage can is with a wide enough shovel.
Colder air is your friend
When it comes to jack-o'-lanterns, the colder the air, the better. Not only will the cooler air help preserve your hard work, but the late-season chill will also reduce the odds of bugs getting to it.
And carving right before Halloween will certainly work in your favor. Even if we have a warm spell, the jack-o'-lantern will certainly be fresh enough to withstand any damage the elements are likely to throw at it.
Not only that, but you may be able to keep them on your porch long enough to get to Thanksgiving. And who says you can't have a nice jack-o'-lantern for turkey day?
A great tasty treat for between holidays
Probably one of the best parts of carving a pumpkin is enjoying what's inside. Fresh pumpkin seeds are by far a favorite for many and another perk of the frighteningly awesome jack-o'-lanterns created from those very pumpkins.
So no rush on getting those pumpkins carved too soon. It's more beneficial the closer you wait to Halloween. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Virgin Mary, Mother of God appears in the most difficult moments of history to warn us of danger and help us.
This was before the French Revolution, in the October coup in 1917. Her revelation in Russia opens, in 1986, a new era.
She appeared on thousands of witnesses in Grushevo, Ukraine, before the first year of the Chernobyl catastrophe.
In Russia, her revelations were raised by Bishop John who is believed to be prophetic. Mother of God spoke through his words and warned of impending nuclear disaster.
She predicted that people hold upon hoping for God's help. She told the bishop for the local people of Chernobyl to put her face at the base of each clock.
So when they look at it, pray from the heart and soul for their salvation. How many have heard him and met the charge of the Mother of God, is not clear.
But the fact is, that there are completely saved people who were at the center of the strongest radiation following a nuclear accident. Whether they were escaped, relying on God's help, only they can tell, and recall the "wise woman".
In Moscow are organized exhibitions of documents soldering Mother of God around the world.
The most famous oracles of God are his mother are in 1917. when the small Portuguese town of Fatima, the Virgin appeared to three shepherds in order to reveal important things about the world.
Four decades later appearances of the Virgin Mary have been recognized by Vatican as the Miracles of Fatima, and the town has become one of the most sacred places of worship.
Our Lady revealed to the shepherds key events of the twentieth century, including the end of World War I, beginning of Second World War, the emergence and collapse of communism ...

Gibraltan side Lincoln Red Imps edged out Maltese opponents Hamrun Spartans in the first qualifying round, advancing on penalties after it ended 1-1 on aggregate.
Qarabag are the Azerbaijan champions and made it all the way to the last 16 in last season’s Europa League.
This is a huge step up for Lincoln Red Imps as they take on a Qarabag side that is much more experienced in European competition and managed to reach the last 16 in the Europa League last term, only being edged out by eventual finalists Bayer Leverkusen 5-4 on aggregate.
The Azerbaijan champions should have far too much for the Gibraltan minnows and this should be a comfortable first-leg win for the away side.
ugano vs Fenerbahce (Tuesday, 7.30pm)
Lugano finished second in the Swiss top flight last season.
Lugano were in the Europa League group stage in 2023-24, finishing bottom of a group containing Club Brugge, Bodo/Glimt and Besiktas.
Fenerbahce are the record 28-time Turkish champions and are managed by former Chelsea and Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho.
Fener were runners-up in the Turkish Super Lig last term and recently hammered Championship side Hull City 5-1 in a friendly.
This could be another mismatch as Fenerbahce look to be a cut above Lugano and the Turkish side, managed by the wily Mourinho, are likely to dominate.
Mourinho’s side have been impressive in pre-season, seeing off Strasbourg 4-0 and then Hull 5-1 in recent friendlies, so they should approach the first leg with plenty of confidence as the goals are flowing.
Shamrock Rovers vs Sparta Prague (Tuesday, 8pm)
Sparta Prague are the reigning Czech champions.
Sparta progressed to the last 16 in the Europa League last season.
Shamrock Rovers are the current Irish champions, winning their fourth consecutive title and 21st overall last year.
Rovers are down in fourth place in the League of Ireland this season, and qualified for the group stages of the 2022–23 Europa Conference League.
Irish outfit Shamrock Rovers did well to get past Icelandic side Vikingur Rekjavik in the first qualifying round, winning 2-1 on aggregate, but they are likely to be found out against Czech giants Sparta.
An away win to zero looks likely but for better value a 2-0 correct score to the visitors is the selection. Sparta have scored exactly two goals in their last three matches — a 2-1 win in their league opener over Pardubice at the weekend and in friendly games before that against Salzburg and Brondby. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Decoding Your Health Metrics
Blood Pressure: More than Just Numbers
Blood pressure is a vital health metric that indicates the force of blood against the walls of our arteries. It's composed of two numbers: systolic (the higher number) and diastolic (the lower number). Consistent readings above the normal range may indicate hypertension, a leading cause of heart disease and stroke. To support your cardiovascular health and help maintain optimal blood pressure levels, consider incorporating Omega-3 Fish Oil Extreme into your daily routine.
Cholesterol: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Cholesterol plays a crucial role in our body, aiding in the production of hormones and vitamin D. However, high levels can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries. Understanding the different types of cholesterol: HDL (good), LDL (bad), and triglycerides is essential. For those looking to support heart health and manage cholesterol levels, Apple Cider Vinegar Extreme or Apple Cider Vinegar Extreme Gummies can be a beneficial addition to your health regimen.
Blood Sugar Levels: Balancing the Scale
Maintaining balanced blood sugar levels is essential for overall health. Fluctuations can lead to conditions like diabetes. For those aiming to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, the Nano Sugar Balance is designed to support this aspect of your health.
Bone Density: The Foundation of Our Body
Bone density tests provide insights into the strength of our bones. A decline in bone density can lead to conditions like osteoporosis, especially in post-menopausal women. To support bone health and potentially prevent osteoporosis, consider adding Nano Calcium 1200mg With Vitamin D to your daily regimen.
Cognitive Health: The Brain Game
Cognitive health assessments evaluate brain functions like memory, attention, and problem-solving. With the rise in conditions like Alzheimer's, understanding these metrics is paramount. For those looking to promote relaxation and achieve a deeper, more restful sleep, which indirectly supports brain health, Deep Sleep Extreme or Deep Sleep Extreme Gummies can be a beneficial addition.
Decoding health metrics is the first step towards a healthier life. With the right knowledge, tools, and products, we can navigate the complex world of health data and make informed decisions.

I’ve had a few Boxers over the years and Zena is probably the most lovable of them all. I adopted her in June 2020. In many ways she was a typical Boxer and in other ways she was atypical. She loved to play by herself, with me or other dogs. She was very affectionate and as we say, you don’t own a Boxer you wear one. She was very mellow and was not bouncy at all. She loved to play fetch on the beach or in the park. She rarely left my side. She was great with kids and once she got to know her she was great with adults. She’d stand still while other dogs sniffed her. Patience was her middle name. She was my best friend and I hers. Eighteen months was not long enough to be with this amazing dog. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

So Block 7 is this weeks post,
but I need to take a couple of steps back in time
and try to clear up and catch up on a couple of things.
I posted the wrong block for Week 4.
It should've been the Times Table shown below.
Just follow Nancy's fabulous instructions
in the Mix It Up pattern book.
I used shades of the Plum fabric for the outer 4 squares.
I used 2 Persimmon squares and
5 Honey squares for the center squares.
You need a total of 7 of these Times Table blocks.
Now, last week should've been the Double Geese.
Where was I?
Missing in action!
I love Flying Geese!
And these Ombre Geese, Oh My!
I made three geese with each of these fabrics:
Lime Green, Persimmon, Lagoon & Plum.
I combined them so all three sets had the geese flying in the same order.
Now, back to Block 7!
This week is another Designer Choice Block.
For this block I cut enough for 3 blocks
(next week I plan to do the last Designer Choice block,
which only needs two).
I cut these pieces out with the Mini Goddess Tool.
I mentioned it in a previous post (Mix It Up - Block 4).
These are mini Tall Triangles.
Here is the center of the block.
I used the corner Cut Away along with a
Half Square Triangle to make a snowball corner.
Now I combined the Mini Tall Triangles.
I arranged all the parts of the block.
It is a rather intense 9-block.
I stitched it all together and here it is:
Let me know if you are crazy enough to want to make this block.
This 12" block is made up of 61 little pieces.
I know, I know, I am crazy!
Well, I hope you enjoyed following my progress.
I would love to see what you are doing.

Are you confused about which bank account to open as a Non-Resident Indian (NRI)? This article will describe the different types of bank accounts an NRI can open as per Indian banking laws. NRIs can hold and maintain bank accounts in India in rupee or foreign currency accounts. However, a foreign currency account can be maintained with the bank authorised to deal in foreign exchange.
Indian Banks mainly offer three types of NRI bank accounts:
- Non-Residency Ordinary (NRO) Account
- Non-Resident External (NRE) Account
- Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) Fixed Deposit Account
NRO account is maintained in Indian rupees. NRI can open an NRO account in the form of savings, current or fixed/recurring deposits account. One important aspect of this account is that the funds in this account are non-repatriable. You cannot transfer funds from this account to an NRE account or any account holder abroad. Any transfer of funds from this account needs RBI’s prior permission. It can be held jointly with residents or with NRI. The NRIs can convert an NRO account into a regular resident account after returning to India and becoming an Indian citizen. Interest earned on NRO accounts is fully taxable. You can use an NRI account only for payments within India in rupees.
NRE account is a rupee account maintained with a bank. You can open an NRE account in the form of savings, current or fixed/recurring deposits. Money from NRE accounts is freely repatriable. Hence, funds from this account are freely transferable to any other account. You can also transfer funds to NRO accounts without restrictions. Similarly, you can receive the money transferred from another NRE account or remitted from abroad in this account. Interest earned on an NRE account is tax-exempt in the hands of an NRI.
To deposit all foreign exchange, the banks first convert it to Indian rupees at the buying rate, and withdrawal in foreign currency is allowed. The Indian rupees in the account are converted to the same at the selling rates. However, the account holder shall bear the conversion loss. The NRIs can convert an NRE account into a regular resident account after returning to India and becoming an Indian citizen.
FCNR Fixed Deposit Account
You can open an FCNR account only in the form of term deposits with maturity ranging from one to five years. You can maintain this account in any freely convertible currency, mainly U.S. Dollar, Pound Sterling, etc. However, you cannot deposit the amount in Indian currency in this account. The account balances, i.e. the principal and interest earned, can be transferred outside India in the same currency the account is maintained or any other convertible currency. The entire deposit amount, principal and interest, is exempt from tax.
Understanding the above features of NRE, NRO and FCNR accounts will help NRIs choose the right kind of account.

Sudanese and foreigners fled the capital Khartoum and other war zones as fighting on Tuesday rocked a new three-day truce brokered by the United States and Saudi Arabia. Millions of Sudanese have been trapped in their homes since violence began on April 15, between forces loyal to two of the country’s top generals.
Civilian life has come to a standstill as tens of thousands of heavily armed fighters from the military and its rival, the Rapid Support Force, clash in densely populated areas. Footage captured by the Associated Press in Khartoum shows empty streets and smoke billowing over the city’s skyline.
More than 420 people, including at least 273 civilians, have been killed and more than 3,700 injured since the fighting began. The army appears to have the upper hand in the fighting in Khartoum, but the RSF still controls many districts in the capital and neighboring Omdurman, and has several major strongholds across the country. A series of brief ceasefires last week either failed or resulted in only lulls in the fighting that has raged between forces loyal to the country’s two top generals since May 15.
The lull was enough for the dramatic evacuation of hundreds of foreigners by air and land, to continue on Tuesday. But they have brought no relief to the millions of Sudanese trapped in bullets, struggling for food, shelter and medical care as explosions, gunfire and looters loot destroy their neighborhoods. In a country where a third of the population of 46 million people need humanitarian aid, several aid agencies have had to halt operations and dozens of hospitals have been forced to close.
The United Nations refugee agency said it was preparing for the possibility that tens of thousands of people could flee to neighboring countries. Calls for talks to end the crisis in Africa’s third-largest country have been ignored. For many Sudanese, the departures of diplomats, aid workers and other foreigners, as well as the closure of embassies, are frightening signs that international powers perceive the situation The turmoil will only get worse. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A new study about the discovery of a mineral on Mars that is baffling scientists was co-authored by a University of Guelph physics professor.
The research involving Ralf Gellert was the focus of a CBC news story today.
Gellert was part of a team of international scientists whose research appears this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. NASA scientist Richard Morris headed the study.
The researchers found that a rock sample discovered in the Gale Crater — believed to be the bed of an ancient lake — contains tridymite.
Previously, scientists had not believed that Mars conditions could produce this mineral. It typically comes from hot volcanoes when lava is exposed to ocean water.
“It’s never expected to find something like that [tridymite] in Gale Crater on Mars,” Gellert told CBC.
The mineral was confirmed using X-ray analysis.
Gellert headed an international group of scientists that developed an alpha particle X-ray spectrometer (APXS), mounted on the arm of the Mars rover Curiosity.
The APXS scans rocks and soil in order to decide where to drill and take more detailed measurements.
The device is Canada’s contribution to the Mars Science Laboratory mission.
Data from the device comes to U of G, where day-to-day APXS operations and analysis occur in a specially equipped room in U of G’s MacNaughton Building.
Gellert was involved in designing and building an earlier version of the instrument for twin rovers that landed on Mars in 2004. The APXS on the Opportunity rover still sends data to Earth. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Being risk-takers and heat-seekers we roamed the wilds of the 24/680 Saturday night, looking for the latest fashion trends, dance crazes, and conducting our usual hyperlocal study of cultural anthropology – to put a fancy-schmancy name on it.
We can report that hemlines are rising, hotpants still haven’t made a comeback, there’s actually line-dancing going on in Walnut Creek (are they dusting off those mechanical bulls from the Debra Winger Days?) and Go-Go boots are making a comeback.
Fashion is cyclical, right?
Folks’re shuffling to Boot-Scootin’ Boogie and Luke Bryan with parts of Walnut Creek looking like Main Street in a South Dakota town most nights. YeeHaw.
All in good fun and have a good time though care should be taken when wearing the more revealing outfits preferred by partiers of a certain age as, well, alcohol is a factor and accidents can and do happen.
We’ve also learned and are tuning our much older ears to the current patois in use by younger folk wandering the veldt these days. Their language, a curious blend of Kikuyu and Creole, is – of course – designed to keep older people from knowing what they’re talking about. This is understandable, a practice adopted by most preceding generations, as needed.
We reach for our Youth Translators whenever we hear things like: “I’m amped about my drip today,” or “No cap, this acai bowl is bussin’,” or, “Spill the tea, sis!”
Keep mum and dad and any looming oldster at bay and confused. Got it.
Also confusing is the non-directional acoustic path of disruptive nocturnal boom-booms – explosions to some – ripping through the nightscape early this morning.
Now, this stuff lights up our intake systems like a pinball hall on Saturday nights and it wasn’t long before the civilian guesswork started hitting the Social Media channels, apparently, with theories ranging from militia gunfire to ‘splody transformers – neither of which seemed to line up with the facts in hand (no resultant power outages and no dudes in bad camouflage).
So we cooly and calmly reached out to our team of highly-trained roving investigators (one guy with a cellie) and asked, cooly and calmly, “Who the hell is lighting up Southern Walnut Creek?” And they, ever professional, came back with the Realtor’s Response: “Location? Location? Location?” and that was tough to pin down with everyone pointing in every direction.
We ended up chasing sightings of teens/”suspicious characters”/guys in clown suits at various locations in the area, often in high-end vehicles, and eventually closed in on Lar Rieu Park where “teens in a Tesla” were spotted before two loud booms were heard.
In the end, we believed the flash and booms were attributed to sizable pyrotechnic devices thrown into the yards of homes in the 2200 block of Trotter Way at Hackamore, though we remember a series of similar incidents in that general area in recent years.
Other booms involved vehicles t-boning each other at high speed (already on our pages) so we wound down the night, sent our mighty team home to catch some zzzzz’s and pledged to hit things hard again in the morning.
And here we are. Keep those cards and letters coming in, folks… | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

OPI Offers Stipends to Recruit and Retain Teachers in Montana
There is a dire need for new teachers in Montana, after numbers released recently by the Montana Office of Public Instruction.
KGVO News reached out to Elsie Arntzen, Montana’s Superintendent of Public Instruction on efforts underway to recruit and retain teachers in the state.
In a press release from Arntzen’s office, the following numbers were reported.
‘In 2020, the number of unfilled classrooms challenged by lack of recruiting teachers had increased from 353 to 599. In the current Critical Educator Report, vacancies increased by 19% for areas such as math and special education. In the past five years, unlicensed teachers through emergency authorizations have risen 90%.
In the 2021- 2022 school year, teacher license renewals and new endorsements resulted in a new low of 5,204, continuing a five-year downward trend. New teacher licenses are the highest in five years with 1,646 new licenses. This is attributed to 40% of the applications coming from out-of-state teachers. Our Montana-Made teachers, coming from our 10 Montana teacher preparations programs, have shown a decline of 21.47% since the 2015-2016 school year.’
Arntzen described the steps being taken by her office.
“There’s more than just one solution,” said Arntzen. “There's many. Right now we have some rules and we need public comment on what is a quality teacher in our state and what determines quality, I've got the flexibility that I'm putting forward for recommendations. A lot of it has to do with our Montana grown teachers, but also to open the gate for Montana, to be able to have reciprocity with other states.”
Arntzen described her ‘residency program’.
“We're also doing a project called a residency program, where we pay student teachers for a whole year to be in a school and to be paid a living wage within the cohort of their school with a school mentor, and that's to help retain them in their community,” she said.
She said the Montana Legislature has made funds available to help supplement teachers’ salaries for a limited time to help keep them in Montana.
“We supported the ability to have the legislature give dollars for that first through third year of a teacher,” she said. “In order to do that, we've collected some great data. So it's very preliminary at this time, and it's a stipend of $3,500. That may not be a lot of money but for a first year teacher who may be starting a family and starting their career, it is an incentive, and it's also a thank you.”
She said efforts are also being made to enhance professional development to help support these new teachers.
“We're also looking to make sure that we have an opportunity with our new licensure systems to be able to give great professional development for our brand new teachers as they come out of our teacher prep program, as well as those that are in our existing classroom,” she said. “Basically, it's just a big thank you to all the teachers that are currently teaching in Montana, because we want to make your life and your job easier.”
Public comment is open for the licensing rule recommendations, please send comments to firstname.lastname@example.org.

Your living room is more than just a space to relax; it’s a reflection of your style and personality. One key element that can transform the ambiance of your living room is the ceiling lighting. From classic chandeliers to modern recessed lights, there are countless options to illuminate your space and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Let’s explore some trendy living room ceiling lighting ideas that can truly light up your life.
1. Chandeliers: Timeless Elegance
Living Room Ceiling Lighting Ideas: Chandeliers have been a symbol of luxury and sophistication for centuries. These timeless fixtures come in various styles, from traditional crystal designs to more modern and minimalistic options. Depending on your living room’s style, a well-chosen chandelier can serve as a stunning focal point, adding both light and visual appeal.
Consider a statement chandelier with multiple bulbs for a larger living room, or opt for a smaller, more delicate design for a cozier space. Chandeliers work well with various interior styles, making them a versatile choice for those who appreciate classic elegance.
2. Recessed Lighting: Sleek and Contemporary
Living Room Ceiling Lighting Ideas: If you prefer a more understated and contemporary look, recessed lighting might be the perfect choice for your living room. These fixtures are installed flush with the ceiling, providing a sleek and unobtrusive appearance. Recessed lights offer a clean and modern aesthetic, making them ideal for minimalist or modern interior designs.
Consider arranging recessed lights strategically to highlight specific areas of your living room, such as artwork or seating areas. With dimmable options available, you can easily control the ambiance, creating a cozy atmosphere for movie nights or a bright setting for entertaining guests.
3. Pendant Lights: Stylish and Versatile
Living Room Ceiling Lighting Ideas: Pendant lights are a stylish and versatile option that can add flair to your living room. Available in a wide range of designs, sizes, and materials, pendant lights can complement various interior styles, from industrial to bohemian. Hang a single pendant light for a simple and chic look, or group multiple pendants for a more dramatic effect.
Experiment with different pendant shapes and colors to match your living room’s color scheme and furniture. Whether you prefer a cluster of small pendants or a large, statement-making piece, pendant lights allow you to express your personal style while providing functional illumination.
4. Track Lighting: Flexible and Adjustable
Living Room Ceiling Lighting Ideas: For those who value flexibility and adaptability, track lighting is an excellent choice. This type of lighting consists of adjustable fixtures mounted on a track, allowing you to direct light where it’s needed most. Track lighting works well in contemporary living rooms and can be customized to suit your preferences.
Use track lighting to highlight specific features in your living room, such as artwork, accent walls, or architectural details. With the ability to reposition the fixtures, you can easily change the look and feel of your space without committing to a permanent arrangement.
5. Flush Mount Lights: Space-Saving Elegance
Living Room Ceiling Lighting Ideas: If you have a lower ceiling or prefer a more discreet lighting option, flush mount lights are an excellent choice. These fixtures sit close to the ceiling, providing ample illumination without taking up valuable vertical space. Flush mount lights come in various designs, ranging from classic to modern, making them suitable for a wide range of living room styles.
Choose a flush mount light with a decorative shade or a sleek, contemporary design to complement your overall aesthetic. These space-saving lights are functional and can enhance the overall ambiance of your living room without overpowering the space.
Conclusion: Illuminate Your Style
When it comes to living room ceiling lighting ideas, the key is to find a fixture that not only illuminates the space but also complements your style and enhances the overall aesthetics. Whether you lean towards the timeless elegance of chandeliers, the sleek modernity of recessed lighting, or the versatility of pendant lights, there’s a lighting option to suit every taste.
Consider the size of your living room, the height of your ceiling, and the overall design theme when selecting the perfect ceiling light. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different lighting fixtures to create a layered and dynamic lighting scheme that truly lights up your life.

US officials denounced the deteriorating human rights situation in Afghanistan — particularly for women and girls — during a meeting with Afghan Taliban representatives in Doha, the State Department said Monday.
The American delegation also expressed “deep concern” regarding the humanitarian crisis and the need to continue supporting aid organizations and UN bodies delivering assistance, a State Department statement said.
The closed-door meeting was one of the highest-level known gatherings of US and Afghan government officials in months, with the Washington team headed by Special Representative Thomas West and Kabul’s by Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi.
The US statement did not, however, identify the Afghan representatives — describing them only as “senior” and as “technocratic professionals.”
A separate Afghan foreign ministry statement issued late Monday did name Muttaqi, and said his team included finance ministry and central bank representatives.
It noted human rights were discussed, without elaborating, and said the meeting underscored discussions between the sides on ending banking restrictions and sanctions.
Women’s rights have been a sticking point in negotiations over aid and recognition since the Taliban swept back to power in August 2021.
The Taliban government has barred girls and women from high schools and universities, banned them from parks, funfairs and gyms, and ordered them to cover up in public.
Rina Amiri, the US Special Envoy for Afghan Women, Girls, and Human Rights, who attended the meeting, said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that she had been urged to “directly engage the Taliban.”
“We called for the removal of restrictions on women & girls, including access to education & work; release of detainees; & end to corporal punishment, & crackdowns on media & freedom of expression,” she wrote.
The Afghan statement said Kabul “emphasized once again that to build trust, it is important to remove blacklists and release the bank reserves so Afghans can develop their economy without foreign aid.”
The State Department said it would be open to “a technical dialogue regarding economic stabilization issues soon.”
The Afghan foreign ministry said the delegation also reiterated calls to restore consular services for its nationals globally.
A handful of Afghan embassies are operating under Taliban authority — including in Pakistan, Turkey and China — but many are occupied by diplomats associated with the previous government which is still, officially, represented at the United Nations.
The State Department statement said it acknowledged Kabul’s “continuing commitment” not to allow Afghanistan to be used as a platform for attacks on the United States and its allies, noting “a decrease in large-scale terrorist attacks against Afghan civilians.”
It also said it recognized a “significant decrease in cultivation” of poppies this growing season.
Since taking over, Taliban authorities have banned cultivation of the crop, which is used to make opium.

2nd suspect in $100K chicken theft also suspected in $400K meat heist: Police
www.nbcmiami.com, October 15, 2024
A Hialeah man is now the second suspect arrested in connection with the theft of a tractor-trailer containing around $100,000 worth of poultry products, and police say he's a suspect in a separate $400,000 meat theft.
Jorge Lyen Blanco-Diaz, 38, was arrested Monday on charges including grand theft of cargo, grand theft of a vehicle and unlawful use of a communications device, records show.
A second man, 49-year-old Raul Bello, was arrested earlier this month on the same charges in connection with the chicken caper.
The theft happened back on Sept. 15 when the tractor-trailer was stolen near the driver's home in the area of Old State Road 9 and Northwest 155th Lane in Miami.
According to an arrest report, the driver said he'd been alerted by his sister that the truck, worth $60,000, and trailer, worth $80,000, were gone.
Inside was assorted frozen poultry valued at $100,000, the report said.
License plate readers captured the tractor-trailer heading north on Interstate 95 about a mile from where it was stolen followed by a white Nissan NV200 van, the report said.
Another license plate reader captured the tractor-trailer and Nissan van in the area of W. 33rd Avenue and W. 84th Street in Hialeah, the report said.
Police tracked down the van and started conducting surveillance, and found Bello driving it, the report said.
Investigators obtained Bello's cellphone information that showed him in the area of the tractor-trailer theft, the report said. The info also showed he'd communicated with a number associated with a co-defendant in the tractor trailer theft, the report said.
The co-defendant, Blanco-Diaz, is currently on house arrest with a GPS ankle monitor related to two other cases, an arrest report said.
According to the report, the ankle monitor data showed it was at the theft location the date of the crime before and during the time the truck and trailer were stolen.
Blanco-Diaz was identified as being part of a major theft organization and he's a suspect in another cargo theft case from September 2023 involving a truck and semi-trailer loaded with assorted meat products worth around $400,000, the report said.
When Blanco-Diaz was taken into custody, he refused to speak with detectives without a lawyer, the report said.
Bello, who is on probation until November 2030 in a case involving burglary, assault and possession of illegal weapons, was taken into custody when he drove the Nissan van to the Florida Department of Corrections Probation and Parole Services Office, the report said.
Both men were booked into jail. Attorney information wasn't available. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The beginning of Danish cooperation in Niger (1974 – 1994)
Cooperation between Denmark and Niger began in 1975 following the 1973 drought. The first projects focused on improving water access in drought-affected rural areas and some secondary centres. The cooperation has developed gradually and has become more and more concentrated in the regions of Zinder and Diffa. The average volume of cooperation at the end of this period is around DKK 30-40 million.
The first projects were financed by interest-free Danish loans, later were converted into grants.
Danish cooperation in Niger between 1994 and 1999
The volume of Danish cooperation has gradually decreased after 1994. The reasons for this slowdown are numerous but was primarily due to the lack of sectoral strategies within the two selected sectors: water and natural resource protection. During this period Niger faced difficulties in relation to the democratization process coupled with financial problems.
Following the military coup of January 1996, Denmark froze its cooperation with Niger, which in practice resulted in further postponement of the elaboration of sectoral cooperation strategies. Nevertheless, Denmark maintained its representation in Niamey and activities through NGOs and decentralized administrative structures while maintaining a dialogue with all partners in Niger.
Danish cooperation in Niger between 2000 and 2015
Following the presidential and parliamentary elections at the end of 1999, Niger returned to political stability and democracy. However, in connection with the updating of the Danish cooperation strategy at the beginning of 2000, the question of the choice of Niger as a country of sectoral cooperation was raised. As a result of the subsequent political discussions in Denmark and with the Government of Niger, Denmark decided to maintain its cooperation with Niger, but no longer as a country of sectoral cooperation. The Danish cooperation continues in three main areas: water supply, natural resources and support for civil society. From 2005, the cooperation with Niger has been strengthened further totalling an annual budget of 70,000,000 DKK.
In 2014, the Danish Government decided to reorganise the diplomatic representation abroad and among the adjustments, it was decided to close the Danish cooperation office in Niamey and responsibility for the Danish development cooperation to Niger now rests with the Danish embassy in Ouagadougou.
Danish cooperation in Niger from 2016
Despite the closing the Danish cooperation office in Niamey, a new Country Policy Paper (March 2016) has been elaborated to cover the period 2017-2020. After some adjustments, the present Danish Country Programme for Niger covers the period 2017-2022 with a financial envelope of about 43 billion CFA Francs. The country program currently under implementation is divided into three sector programmes:
- The Water and Sanitation sector programme is designed to support the implementation of the Government of Niger’s strategic sector program for water, hygiene and sanitation (PROSEHA 2016-2030) with focus on rural areas and on disadvantaged areas. The budget is about 17 billion CFA francs.
- The Economic growth in agriculture programme promotes improved private sector led sustainable economic growth and job creation, based on agricultural value chains. The budget is about 10.5 billion CFA francs.
- The Democratic Governance, Stability and Management of Migration sector programme has a budget of about 16 billion CFA francs
The current framework Agreement for the Cooperation between the Republic of Niger and the Kingdom of Denmark has been signed in July 2018 and is managed by annual intergovernmental consultations. The last annual intergovernmental consultations were held in Niamey on September 13th, 2018. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
On Dec. 18, 1950, President Harry S. Truman signed an order establishing the Nevada Proving Ground as the nation’s on-continent nuclear weapons testing area. That place is now known as the Nevada National Security Site. At that time, the Atomic Energy Commission was looking for a “continental site for all atomic weapons tests.” On their wish list: an area remote enough where “detonations could be done safely and with minimum non-productive cost in time, effort and money…preferably within two to three months.” Also desirable: “ready accessibility to the Los Alamos Laboratory by land and air, good communications, adequate radiological safety, reasonably regular topography and prospects of economy of preparation and operation” — all for $1 million. The NNSS, 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas, was selected as the most desirable location for the reasons mentioned above; in addition, its mild weather and terrain were conducive for testing year round.
“The Special Committee of the National Security Council on Atomic Energy recommends approval by the President of the development of a portion of the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery Range as an atomic weapons test site,” said the memorandum for the president. And so it was done. On Jan. 27, 1951, the NNSS conducted its first atmospheric experiment: Operation Ranger’s “Able,” a one-kiloton device dropped from an Air Force plane at Frenchman Flat. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Wompoo Fruit-Dove is a riot of colour, as though a pigeon has been coloured in by a toddler with a new set of paints.
These birds are not often seen, as they tend to hang about high up in the tree canopy feasting on rainforest fruit such as figs. They are considered to be the largest Australian bird that disperses fruit seeds, and so Wompoo Fruit-Doves play an important role in the regeneration of many rainforest trees.
An individual bird will often remain in a fruiting tree for days at a time, clambering about in a parrot-like agile fashion. I have most commonly found them at the Noosa Botanic Gardens and in the West Cooroy State Forest.
Wompoos get their name from their distinctive call, which has been more accurately paraphrased as sounding like “bollocks are blue”. This rude call is one way of locating these birds. Another method is to listen for the sound of fruit falling to the ground, because they’re messy eaters.
These delightful birds can be found up and down coastal Queensland and into NSW, wherever there is remnant rainforest, however they are listed as vulnerable in NSW due to habitat loss. Their conservation status isn’t helped by the fact that they raise just one chick each season. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Ukrainian Sniper Exposes Russian Drones as Major Irritant in the Battlefield, Reveals New Challenges in 2023 Warfare
Ukrainian Armed Forces sniper Elena Belozerskaya has admitted that she and other soldiers are annoyed by Russian drones. She revealed this to The Sun.
The sniper also described how today’s battles against Russia have changed compared to the conflicts of 2014 and 2017. The fighting in 2023 has become more complex, and the nature of warfare has changed.
“The enemy’s drones are very irritating – no matter what we do, the enemy practically always sees us,” she said.
Another Ukrainian soldier also spoke about the difficult conditions on the front lines. A video of a conversation with the family of a wounded Ukrainian soldier, who was abandoned by his comrades, appeared online. The soldier was left behind in Avdiivka.
A military medic from the Dnipropetrovsk region, with the call sign “Django,” complained to his family in a video message that he and five other soldiers were unable to move. The serviceman explained that the promised evacuation vehicle never arrived for them within two days.
Earlier, Ukrainian soldiers surrendered during their retreat from Avdiivka.
(Comprehensive news article version)
Ukrainian Armed Forces sniper Elena Belozerskaya has revealed her frustration with Russian drones, stating that no matter what actions they take, the enemy always seems to be aware of their presence. In an interview with The Sun, Belozerskaya shed light on the changing nature of battles against Russia, highlighting that the conflicts in 2023 have become more complex compared to those in 2014 and 2017.
The use of drones by the enemy forces has proven to be a constant annoyance for Ukrainian soldiers, as these unmanned aerial vehicles provide the enemy with a constant advantage in terms of surveillance and reconnaissance. Belozerskaya’s comments shed light on the challenges faced by Ukrainian troops, who are constantly under the watchful eyes of Russian drones.
In addition to the issue of drones, another Ukrainian soldier’s plight has come to light. A video circulating online depicts a conversation between the family of a wounded Ukrainian soldier and the soldier himself, who was abandoned by his comrades in Avdiivka. The soldier, known by the call sign “Django,” expressed his frustration at the lack of support and the failure of an promised evacuation vehicle to arrive within the expected timeframe.
These revelations provide further insight into the difficult conditions faced by Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines. The video serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and women, as they continue to fight against Russian aggression. The situation in Ukraine remains tense, with reports of Ukrainian soldiers surrendering during their retreat from Avdiivka.
As the conflict in Ukraine continues, it is crucial to shed light on the challenges faced by Ukrainian soldiers and the impact of Russian aggression on the region. The stories of individuals like Elena Belozerskaya and “Django” serve as a reminder of the human cost of war and the resilience of those who continue to fight for their country. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This summer, the department held the inaugural OT Academy, a pathway program drawing participants from underrepresented and marginalized populations. Planning for the academy was three years in the making, and designed to promote knowledge and understanding of the OT profession, and to prepare students for applying to an academic OT program.
"This program means a lot to me as it demonstrates our commitment to increasing access to the profession of OT by addressing barriers to graduate programs for underrepresented and marginalized students," says assistant professor and director of admissions and recruitment Audrey E. Kane, Ph.D., OTR/L, who envisioned, developed, and implemented OT Academy along with students Ju Lee and Julian Battle (the Academy was their capstone project). "It also affirms our Department, College and profession's values of diversity and works to fulfill the mission of both of those institutions in creating a more diverse workforce, so that clients have the opportunity to be served by someone who looks like them."
Through engagement in presentations, discussions, and hands-on opportunities, students gain skills required to be a competitive applicant — and a successful and professional student in a rigorous graduate program. OT Academy is offered in partnership with VCU Diversity P.A.T.H.S. (Promoting Access To Health Sciences), an initiative sponsored by the Division for Student Engagement and Impact within the Office of the Senior Vice President for Health Sciences. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Wednesday’s installment “We Hold These Truths” is not part of this week’s One Chicago crossover event, but its plot is big enough for it.

Nitrogen and plant population are significant factors for corn (Zea mays L.) production. Accurate nitrogen fertilizer and seeding rate recommendations are essential for optimizing profitability for the farmer and minimizing nitrogen losses. This study examines the relationship of nitrogen and plant population and potential interactions on corn production at two sites in eastern South Dakota. Using standard deviation as a measure of plant spacing uniformity, higher seeding rates correlated to lower standard deviatio11s and vice versa. Higher plant populations also showed higher values for leaf area index, a measurement of plant canopy cover. Nitrogen, but not plant population impacted chlorophyll meter readings. Nitrogen and plant population were found to significantly impact yield, stover, biomass, and harvest index and various sites, but not across all site years. Lower yield potential decreased the significance of nitrogen and plant population on com production. Economic analy_sis of each site year indicates seeding rates near 70,000 plants/ha (28,350 seeds/ac) produced optimum yields. Optimum nitrogen rates varied from ON/ha to 168 kg N/ha (150 lb N/ac) across all site years.

What does it mean to work with communities to make social change? “Sometimes you have to get off the bus. We cannot be tourists as program partners or grantmakers,” said Pennsylvania Humanities Council executive director Laurie Zierer, recounting how she first met Chester artist and entrepreneur Devon Walls.
“I remember launching the Chester Made project,” Zierer said. “We did just that—we got off the bus driving us through downtown Chester, and we talked with people. And that’s when everything started to happen for us. We began meeting artists like Devon who had long been working to revitalize the downtown and engage the community through the arts.”
Both Zierer and Walls made presentations Friday, June 19, during “The Story of a Block: A Tour of Chester’s Avenue of the States with Artists, Entrepreneurs & Urban Farmers.” PHC and the Barra Foundation coordinated with Philanthropy Network of Greater Philadelphia to produce this interactive site tour of Chester’s downtown.
Kimberly Allen of Wells Fargo Regional Foundation and Chester City Councilman Al Jacobs gave opening and welcome remarks. Andrew Frishkoff, executive director of Philadelphia Local Initiatives Support Corporation, facilitated the panel presentations, in which a mix of funders, artists, activists, and business owners explored the value of collaboratively funded projects.
Introducing the panel members, Frishkoff said, “It takes a village to accomplish the kind of work being done here.”
In addition to Zierer and Walls, presenters included Laura Koloski, senior program specialist at the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage; Chuck Lacy, co-founder of the Barred Rock Fund; Kristina Wahl, president of the Barra Foundation; Sharon Meagher, former dean from Widener University; and representatives from the Chester Made and Boundaries and Bridges projects.
Discussion topics included Chester Made, a humanities-based initiative to recognize and promote arts and culture in Chester and to harness their power as a force for community revitalization; Boundaries and Bridges, an initiative to strengthen ties between Widener University and Chester residents; and New Day Chester Inc., a mission-related investment partnership created to acquire and develop properties along Chester’s Avenue of the States.
Beyond the panel discussion, the event gave current and potential funders the opportunity to tour downtown Chester and experience firsthand the place-led efforts that are creating positive change there. As participants arrived for registration and breakfast, they encountered three different agriculturally-based projects initiated through collaborative funding: Chester Housing Authority’s Mobile Market, Sowing Good Seeds’ portable garden beds, and fresh produce from Fare & Square, Chester’s community grocery store.
After the panel, attendees were free to travel up and down Avenue of the States to participate in activities at the Chester Made pop-up makerspace with Alex Gilliam from Public Workshop, enjoy performances by local musicians and poets, and continue conversations in spaces that represent growth and development made possible through collaborative funding. Performers including Jerry Dukes, Kenneth Hunt, India Irvin, and Robert Young shared their talents as well as personal examples of the transformative power of the arts in their own lives and communities.
After the tour, David Bradley, founder of Live Connections, facilitated conversation over lunch from Shugar Shack Catering. Chester residents, project partners and the funders present discussed grantmaking practices, and together explored what it means to “let go” in order to develop local assets and organizational capacity with – not for – a community.
To close the day, Honorable Thaddeus Kirkland, mayor of Chester, thanked all present for forging valuable community partnerships that are bringing hope and real change to the city. He also noted that collaborative funding opportunities and initiatives like Chester Made have helped the city become nationally known as an arts and humanities hub, which has in turn worked to change the perception that all news about Chester is negative.
Kirkland advised all present to keep working together and—quoting Harry Belefonte—to “stop letting other people tell your story.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
