9th of May 2009
On Saturday, May 9th, farmers from Beit Ommar with lands in Saffa, close to the illegal Israeli settlement of Beit Ayn, were prevented from working their fields after Israeli forces declared the area a closed military zone. At around 9am, about six farmers and their families went to their lands accompanied by a dozen Israeli and international solidarity activists. After they were only in the fields for about ten minutes, a jeep of Israeli border police arrived. The police used a bullhorn to declare the lands a closed military zone and all of the farmers and solidarity activists were ordered to leave.
The farmers initially ignored the order and continued to work their lands. Three more jeeps with soldiers and border police arrived, and the soldiers approached the farmers in the fields. Israeli forces displayed an order from a military court that designated the lands off limits to their Palestinian owners. The farmers then decided to leave their fields and return to the village. As the farmers were leaving, several dozen Israeli settlers, most of them children, gathered at the top of the hill and repeatedly chanted, “death to all Arabs.” One settler was heard shouting, “I will go get a basket for your head,” in an apparent threat against one of the farmers.
For the past month and a half, the Israeli military has repeatedly declared village farmland close to the settlement to be a closed military zone. In addition to harassment from Israeli forces, the Palestinian farmers also face settler violence on these lands. On the April 26th, two elderly Palestinian farmers from Beit Ommar were beaten by thirty masked settlers on the farmers’ agricultural fields close to the settlement. Abdullah Soleiby, aged 80, sustained two hair-line fractures and received ten stitches to the top of his head after three settlers held him down and repeatedly smashed his head with stones. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Celebrating independence by purchasing Pakistani Flag, decorating homes and streets, using fire-crackers – no matter how annoying, is not enough. Freedom with responsibility is the hallmark of independent nations.
I would urge the readers to consider the following, to express independence throughout the year.
- Contribute to strengthening of civil society in whatever manner and amount you can
- Stand in row while at counters. bus stops ,entrances, and exits of public places or just anywhere it is needed rather than jostling one other
- Don’t throw trash but put it in trash bin and co.Keep your surrounding clean.
- Don’t violate traffic rules rather abide by them and contribute to reduce annoying traffic jams.
- Don’t spit paan ,chaliya,on walls , streets and roads rather dispose them hygienically if possible quit these altogether.
- Switch off lights and other electrical appliances when not needed. Don’t misuse electricity.
- Recycle whatever can be recycled and stop over consumption.
- Reduce use of polythene bags rather quit altogether, take with you a fabric bag while going for shopping ,doing grocery etc.
- Buy Pakistani and be Pakistani
- Grow plants no matter how small or little space available at least few flower pots.
- Participate in politics by casting vote not by participating in damn strikes(Ehtijaj),protests(
Hertal),rallies(Joloos),,etc. - While casting vote consider the candidate’s capabilities and previous performance not family relations with or sect and ethnicity of the candidate,
- Be brave and bold ,don’t escape and rush abroad. Stay in your own country, face the realities and contribute to stabilize the absolute chaotic situation in Pakistan
- Hard work and merit only hard work and merit should be the criterion not PRs (Talooqat) or unfair means(JOGAR) and Bribe(Rishwat) while pursuing anything you desire to achieve.
- Don’t run after short cuts and easier ways by compromising quality rather prefer sustainability ,long term benefit and quality in anything your are committed to do.
- Don’t compromise rule of the law to pursue your vested interests but remain committed to rule of law firmly all the time.
- Offer helping hand and supporting shoulders to needy irrespective of ethnicity and sect | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Is serotonin syndrome recovery worse than SSRI withdrawal in duration?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi all, I developed serotonin syndrome in February, or at least a sensitivity to amitriptyline.
I was being kept awake every night, all night by brain zaps and strong muscle jerks.
My doctors said it was just stress and sent me away. I was admittedly suffering with crushing anxiety alongside these symptoms.
I was prescribed zopiclone which made me feel grotty, antihistamines which would have interacted with serotonin (phenergen) to help me sleep. Eventually I asked for melotonin which I was refused so I bought some over the counter which I didn't realise had 5htp in it.
I took it that night and ended up with a massive panic attack and a burning stomach. Since then, I have had muscle spasms, the same crushing anxiety, buzzing in my muscles, blurred vision and all of the classic moderate symptoms. Still it went undiagnosed. I stumbled upon it on the Web and stopped taking my meds 8 weeks ago.
I now have very few windows. It's got worse. I went 5 days without sleep but had a lovely, happy window day yesterday. Last night I was back to no sleep again, and worse, my jerks and brain zaps are back which had disappeared weeks ago.
I don't take supplements, I am very sensitive to foods and most days I can't eat at all. I'm devastated that my parents are having to care for my beautiful little boy and that I feel no affection for him on bad days. The guilt is eating me up but I just can't bear to be around people but I'm so lonely too.
I can't sustain this much longer. I've read that ssri withdrawals can last many years and I'm terrified that this will too since the Windows and waves symptoms are so similar.
I was expecting the trajectory to carry on like it was but why I have I had such a long and hard crash this time? Could this, at 2 months be amitriptyline withdrawals onset? I was doing so much better two weeks ago. I really need some hope.

How long for and for how many people: 13-night luxury cruise for 2 aboard the Eclipse
When: Set sail on October 16th 2016; return October 29th 2016
Where to: Spain and the Canary Islands; departing from and returning to Southampton UK
Who with: Celebrity Cruises
This year we are celebrating our 10th birthday! This exciting milestone means we were compelled to do something special…so, along with our internal festivities, we decided to give you all the opportunity to win an incredible prize!
How does a fortnight-long, luxury cruise for two, to Spain and the Canary Islands with Celebrity Cruises sound? Departing from, and returning to, Southampton in October 2016, you will spend your cruise seeing such sights as Tenerife, Madeira and Lisbon.
Whilst staying in an elegant Stateroom, complete with an ocean-view balcony, you will be able to enjoy all that the Celebrity Cruises Eclipse ship has to offer; including swimming pools, hot tubs, card room, lawn club, theatres, art gallery, boutiques and so much more.
During your cruise, you will also be able to make the most of a wide-range of cuisine choices, with a ‘Classic Drinks’ package included in your prize, on top of $300 on-board spending money!
So what’s the catch? Well, importantly for you, there isn’t one! And here is how you enter…
In 1907, Sir Francis Galton asked 787 villagers to guess the weight of an ox. None of them got the right answer, but when Galton averaged their guesses, he arrived at a near perfect estimate. This is a classic demonstration of the “Wisdom of the Crowds”, where groups of people pool their abilities to show collective intelligence.
Is it possible for a group of people to guess the exact number of balls in our box?
Our team is full of techy and science-loving minds, and we wanted to test this theory, and in turn, grant you the chance to win a luxury cruise for two to Spain and the Canary Islands if you can correctly guess (or be the closest to) the number produced through Wisdom of the Crowd, regarding the number of balls in our Pebbletree telephone box!
To enter the competition is easy; simply guess how many balls are in the phone box, however, to win the competition, your guess will need to be the number produced through the Wisdom of the Crowd theory (we will use the mean average).
How do you achieve this? It’s simple – just share the competition! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Long-Term Transactions which we also know as Arm’s Length Transactions (ALT) play an important role in today’s modern business, ensuring fairness, efficiency and transparency in business transactions. In an Arm’s Length Transaction, two parties engage in a transaction as if they were unrelated entities, with no conflict of interest or undue influence. This principle is very important to maintain equality in transactions and avoid potential abuse of authority and position.
Arm’s Length Transaction is very important in the transfer pricing process, where the price of goods, services or intellectual property is determined between related or related entities within a multinational company. By applying a fair approach, multinational companies carrying out transfer pricing can ensure that transactions are carried out at fair market value, thereby preventing the transfer of profits or losses between entities, which is prohibited by some global jurisdictions.
To understand the importance of this Arm’s Length Transaction, I give an example when a parent company sells a product to its subsidiary at an inflated price (much higher than the fair price), which allows the parent company to artificially shift profits to its subsidiary companies located in the same jurisdiction. lower taxes.
Without ALT, transfer pricing practices to hide profits can distort financial results, misrepresent the true profitability of each entity and can lead to tax avoidance or tax non-compliance by multinational companies.
Benefits of Arm’s Length Transaction.
Implementing ALT can provide many benefits for businesses operating multinationally, which can ensure fair and transparent transactions between related entities, the benefits include:
1. Transparency and Compliance
This Arm’s Length Transaction encourages transparency, enabling the business sector to provide accurate and reliable financial information to company stakeholders, including investors, regulatory authorities and tax authorities. By conducting transactions fairly, companies can confidently demonstrate that their financial statements reflect actual market conditions and they ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
2. Mitigating Transfer Pricing Risk
One of the main benefits of Arm’s Length Transaction is the management of transfer pricing risks. By setting prices based on fair market value, companies can minimize the risk of tax authorities challenging the transfer pricing transaction. This also ensures that the profits the company generates are allocated appropriately and the company remains compliant with tax regulations in the various places they operate.
3. Increased Operational Efficiency
Arm’s Length Transaction can simplify a company’s business operations by eliminating potential conflicts of interest and ensuring that the company conducts transactions objectively. This condition encourages efficiency in company operations and fosters a culture of fairness, trust and clear communication between related entities. By focusing on the principle of fairness, companies can optimize the allocation of their resources and the company’s decision-making process.
Common Examples of Arm’s Length Transactions.
Arm’s Length Transactions can take various forms in various industries and business sectors, some common examples include:
1. Sales of Goods or Services Between Companies.
When a holding company sells goods or services to a subsidiary or vice versa, the company can ensure that the sale is carried out in a fair manner. This can prevent the transfer of profits between entities and maintain the accuracy of the financial reporting of the holding company and its subsidiaries.
2. Intellectual Property Licensing.
In the process of transferring rights to use intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks or copyrights, between related entities must be carried out at fair market value. Applying Arm’s Length Transaction in this scenario helps ensure that payments for intellectual property rights accurately reflect the fair value of those assets.
3. Intercompany Loans or Financing.
When a company provides loans or financing to other affiliated companies, it is important to establish reasonable terms and conditions in the transaction. This ensures that interest rates and repayment terms are set fairly and consistently in line with market conditions, thereby preventing undue financial gain for either party.
Arm’s Length Transaction Legal Considerations.
Although Arm’s Length Transactions are not governed by any specific legal framework, all companies must consider the legal aspects related to their implementation, and some of the key legal considerations include:
1. Transfer Pricing Regulations.
Many countries have special transfer pricing regulations that require companies carrying out transfer pricing to apply a reasonable approach. Companies that carry out transfer pricing must understand and comply with these regulations to avoid fines, tax disputes and reputation risks.
2. Documentation Requirements.
To support the use of Arm’s Length Transaction, companies must maintain comprehensive documentation that supports pricing decisions and demonstrates their compliance with transfer pricing regulations. This documentation usually includes notes when transfer pricing transactions occur, functional and risk analysis, and benchmarking studies.
3. Advance Pricing Agreement.
The business sector can proactively seek advance pricing agreements known as Advance Pricing Agreements (APA) with the tax authorities where they operate to determine the fairness of their transactions. Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) provides certainty and reduces the risk of future company disputes with tax authorities by agreeing on transfer pricing methods and price settings in advance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Adoption story: Maple was a rescue from RocketDog Oakland. We fostered her when she was 14 weeks old and 7 pounds. She was the mid-sized puppy of her litter that were all rescued. She was the most comfortable being held but was shy and nervous. We brought her home and started teaching her what it was like to be with a loving family. We advertised her around for adoption, but fell in love with her over the few weeks we had her. We opted to make her our forever puppy and became a “foster fail” family. We could not have made a better choice.
She completes our family. We love her personality, her affection for her family, and her silly antics.
Likes: Squeaky toys, bully sticks, chasing balls, playing keep away, and showing off her tricks for treats.
Dislikes: Being without her family, being in direct sun for any extended time, being moved when she is snuggled down to rest.
Interesting facts: She loves carbs! She begs for pretzels and bread. And she loves red bell peppers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Football, popularly known as soccer, has long been considered to have evolved from the English game of rugby. The two sports have many similarities, such as the basic rules of play and the shape of the ball. The main difference between the two is that rugby allows players to pass the ball backwards, while in football the ball must be passed forwards. It is believed that football was developed from rugby in the 19th century by English schoolboys who wanted to create a less physical game. The Football Association, which was founded in 1863, established the first set of rules for football, which differed from rugby's rules. Since then, football has evolved into the most popular sport in the world.

Lawyers for the Princeton Public Schools have filed a 140-page document with the New Jersey Commissioner of Education opposing the expansion of the charter school.
The district is requesting that the commissioner not consider the application for expansion at all because it claims the board of trustees for the charter school violated the state’s open public meetings act when it passed a resolution to apply to expand the school by 76 students and add a weighted lottery system to benefit economically disadvantaged students.
are among the very best in the nation by any measure, there is no justification for the expansion based on educational quality or opportunity.
Using a “weighted student” measure developed by charter school opponent and Julia Sass Rubin of Rutgers University, the district claims the charter school and public schools spend the same amount per pupil. The charter school has repeatedly disputed Rubin’s numbers and claims.
District officials argue in the document that the expansion request will have a significant financial impact on the district of more than $1 million annually that “will unnecessarily harm and threaten the District’s ability to provide an excellent education for its students.”
Finally, the Princeton Public Schools argues that the charter school application is contrary to “the original and best policies of the charter school movement, and is harmful to the vast majority of children in Princeton, particularly those most vulnerable children that PCS claims to want to help.”

If you’ve strolled Reynolds Walk on campus this September, you may have noticed a pop-up relaxation spot installed next to Branion Plaza. The WexPOPS installation is a portable public gathering place that was relocated to U of G from its initial installation earlier this summer in a strip mall parking lot in Scarborough, Ont.
WexPOPS is the pilot installation of the plazaPOPS Initiative – a design and research project led by master of landscape architecture grad Daniel Rotsztain and U of G landscape architecture Profs. Brendan Stewart and Karen Landman.
“Neighbourhood main streets need accessible gathering spaces to support community life and individual well-being,” says Stewart. “PlazaPOPS is testing a high-impact, low cost model to create such spaces in areas that need them most, all in partnership with local businesses who own the land.”
This summer’s POPS (privately owned public space) installation in Wexford Heights Plaza in Scarborough hosted musical acts, workshops and community events.
Designed with community in mind
WexPOPS features a series of modular planters, benches, tables and umbrellas, all clad in marine plywood and trimmed in cedar. The original installation created a comfortable and sheltered space that framed views of the strip mall.
Ben O’Hara, an MLA grad and sessional instructor in the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development, managed the installation’s carpentry. All components were designed as modules that can be reconfigured to suit varying future site conditions and that can be packed flat for easy assembly and storage.
The original installation featured almost 500 plants, which were installed in colour-coded pails recycled from U of G: > red for native perennials > orange for annuals > yellow for edible plants
Most of the native plants were donated to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and planted in a stretch of the Meadoway — a utility corridor naturalization project that runs through Scarborough — this September. The annuals and edible plants were brought back to Guelph and incorporated into the installation on campus. A year of community consultation, planning and design
Retail strip mall plazas are everywhere in suburban North America, Stewart explains. While privately owned, he says, these plazas define main streets and serve as important settings of community life for millions of Canadians. Finding ways to humanize these areas can positively impact many people. The WexPOPS project was part of a second-year master of landscape architecture design studio this past winter. MLA students worked in teams to develop concepts that were presented and refined through workshops and open houses with Scarborough community members. WexPOPS resulted from more than a year of community consultation, planning and design work.
Stewart and Landman hope to roll out a broader plazaPOPS program across the province.
The reinstallation is supported by the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development, the Sustainability Office and Physical Resources.Learn more about plazaPOPS at www.plazaPOPS.ca and on Instagram and Twitter @plaza_pops.
PlazaPOPS is funded by the City of Toronto’s Main Street Recovery and Rebuild Initiative, as part of Government of Canada support through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario).
Research for plazaPOPS is funded through a SSHRC Partnership Development grant, in partnership with the City of Toronto and the University of Guelph’s School of Environmental Design and Rural Development (SEDRD) in the Ontario Agricultural College. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

DURREX Twin-Rotor Lobe Pump
Twin-Rotor Lobe Pump are multi-functional and bi-directional positive displacement pumps, produced with fine technology. The manufacturing engineering and precision of the pumps approach the advanced level of the world.
These products use synchronic rotors, driven by a pair of synchronic gears in the gear box. Transmitted by the main shaft and sub-shaft. The rotors move synchronically in the counter-clockwise directions, which, consequently, varies the pump capacity and builds up high vacuum capacity and emission pressure. It is particularly suitable to pump sanitary medium, high-corrosive and high-viscous medium.
These products consist of two series: sanitary type and high corrosive type; in structure they fall into two varieties: high pressure with high viscosity and high pressure with low viscosity. The core parts and sealing devices of the products are made of different materials and sealing methods, based on the properties of the different medium. These special designs greatly help the transmission performance of the pumps.
The products can be widely used in petrochemical industry, fine chemistry, consumer industry, pharmaceutical industry, foodstuff industry, environmental protection, paper-making, chemical fiber, painting, metallurgy, oil field and so on.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized Wegmans Food Markets as an outstanding Safer Choice Retailer. For the second consecutive year, the Rochester, N.Y.-based grocer was honored for raising awareness of EPA's Safer Choice program and offering private label cleaning products and national-brand items meeting Safer Choice standards.
Wegmans Category Merchant Dave Tantillo, Sustainability Manager Jason Wadsworth and Wegmans Brand Product Manager Juan Sanchez accepted the award, which was presented May 9.
“Our goal is to offer effective cleaning products that are Safer Choice-certified whenever possible, because we believe it’s the right thing to do,” said Tantillo. “Safer Choice is the seal of approval we want our customers to become familiar with, understand, and trust as products that are safer for their families and the environment.”
EPA’s Partner of the Year Awards recognize companies for their work in championing safer chemistry and products. To qualify for the Safer Choice label, a product must meet EPA’s Safer Choice Standard, which includes stringent human and environmental health criteria.
The only other retailer to the receive the award was Albertsons, which also carries cleaning products that adhere to Safer Choice standards.

- West Elm’s corporate headquarters are located in Empire Stores, a 186-year-old industrial complex on Brooklyn’s waterfront. The historic warehouse was once a prime destination for ships laden with coffee beans from far-off lands. The building lay vacant for years before recently becoming one of New York City’s most desirable destinations for retail, dining, and culture.
To emphasize the link between Brooklyn’s past and future, Provenance salvaged structural beams from the site before construction began. Using highly refined processing methods, each century-old column was milled into a site-specific element.
When West Elm decided to consolidate its headquarters in 2016, they knew they wanted a space that embodied their unique brand vision. Over the course of 12 years, the company grew from a catalog-only business to a billion dollar global retailer known for its well-crafted home decor and support of artisans. Clearly, their new Brooklyn office needed to reflect those values. Provenance’s attention to detail and ability to interpret reclaimed materials in a modern way made them a natural fit for the project.
Working closely with VM Architecture and Design (VMAD), Provenance channeled the company’s creative spirit. From salvaging and milling to designing and fabricating, the project shows the full scope of our team’s capabilities. Provenance’s thoughtful touches show up throughout the 10,000-square-foot workspace and no doubt inspire West Elm’s employees.
The final result is a space that mirrors West Elm’s sophisticated esthetic. The successful collaboration demonstrates a shared appreciation for rich materials and mindful design. Provenance was thrilled to play a part in creating a backdrop for West Elm’s exciting future. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Tutoying the sky to the Croix de Provence, the Sainte-Victoire offers two faces: impressive limestone cliffs at the adret, and slopes lined with garrigue and woods to the north. Lovers of hiking, cycling, climbing or paragliding will be delighted to meet there. Painting enthusiasts also know it very well, thanks to the work of the painter Paul Cézanne. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Acne vulgaris is the most common cutaneous disorder affecting adolescents and young adults. Some studies have reported an association between serum zinc levels and acne vulgaris. We aimed to evaluate the serum zinc level in patients with acne vulgaris and compare it with healthy controls. One hundred patients with acne vulgaris and 100 healthy controls were referred to our clinic. Acne severity was classified according to Global Acne Grading System (GAGS). Atomic absorption spectrophotometry was used to measure serum zinc levels. Mean serum level of zinc in acne patients and controls was 81.31 ± 17.63 μg/dl and 82.63 ± 17.49 μg/dl, respectively. Although the mean serum zinc level was lower in acne group, it was not statistically significant (P = 0.598). There was a correlation between serum zinc levels with severity and type of acne lesions. The results of our study suggest that zinc levels may be related to the severity and type of acne lesions in patients with acne vulgaris. Relative decrease of serum zinc level in acne patients suggests a role for zinc in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
New renewably-sourced polyesters from limonene-derived monomers†
The functionalisation of limonene has enabled the synthesis of two renewably-sourced monomers for the formation of terpene-derived polyesters. Three methods for the synthesis of the novel hydroxy-acid 6 are reported and their green-credentials scrutinised through comparison of their sustainability-metrics. Step-growth homo-polymerisation of 6 is demonstrated to yield a low molecular weight (2.6 kDa) novel polyester with 100% of its carbon content originating from the terpene starting material. The corresponding diol 2 is shown to act as a co-monomer with a renewable diacid. The resultant polyesters display impressive Mns of up to 30 kDa with Tgs between −6 and 24 °C. These materials have been shown to depolymerise under basic conditions for reclamation of the diol monomer 2. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Small Maine Town Named ‘Hardest to Spell’ in the Entire State
There are plenty of challenging towns and cities to pronounce—let alone spell—in our Pine Tree State, but one publication is calling this one the hardest!
This is also the case across our country. This challenge reflects our nation's diversity, as place names often come from a mix of cultures and languages. If you picked 15 random towns across the U.S., chances are you’d stumble over and struggle to spell more than half of them.
So, with that in mind, who exactly is making the call for this Maine town to be the hardest to spell, and how did they reach this decision?
24/7 Wall St.’s report, ‘Most Americans Will Struggle to Pronounce These 50 Town Names,’ identifies one challenging-to-pronounce town name for each U.S. state. They reviewed over 29,000 town names from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017 American Community Survey. Using editorial judgment, they selected towns they found most likely to trip people up. This approach aimed to spotlight lesser-known places with unusual or complex pronunciations and spellings.
With all that in place, which small Maine town is 24/7 Wall St. referring to in their report?
According to 24/7 Wall St., their special report, 'Most Americans Will Struggle to Pronounce These 50 Town Names,' includes the town of Damariscotta. They note that Damariscotta has 12 characters and 5 vowels, a combination they believe would be difficult for most Americans to pronounce. Here’s what 24/7 Wall St. had to say about their selection:
Damariscotta reportedly comes from a Native American word meaning “river of little fish.” It is pronounced “dam-ahr-ihs-KOTTA,” although locals sometimes add an extra r to the first syllable.
So there you have it—Damariscotta has been named not only one of the hardest towns to spell but also one of the hardest to pronounce in our state.
Do you agree? What are your thoughts on 24/7 Wall St.'s pick? We'd love to hear from you! Feel free to join the conversation by messaging us on the app.

A QRA club membership is ideal for getting into target shooting. It allows you to shoot with your club on the QRA ranges.
With a QRA club membership you are part of the club, the QRA (state body) and the NRAA (national body).

Becoming a member of a club can serve as your genuine reason for applying for a licence.
No experience is necessary. The club members will help you to get started. There are also programs available for new shooters, which teach you basic shooting techniques.
Anyone can become a volunteer to help out. Membership is not a requirement. It might be beneficial to become a member if you would like to make use of the extra benefits.
Either way is possible. If you become a QSC member first, this allows you to start your firearms licence process without being bound to a specific club. This is especially handy if there are multiple clubs in your area and you would like to get to know them first.
You can also become a full member straightaway and enjoy the membership benefits.
If you are a QSC member and would like to upgrade to a full membership, you can organise this through the club of your choice. Make sure to let them know that you are a QSC member to make use of the pro rata deduction. Please contact the QRA office if you have any questions related to this.

For QRA club members, discounts are available on selected products at the Q-Store, QRA’s accommodation bookings and selected QRA services.
You don’t have to become a full member if you don’t want to use the benefits of a full membership. A QSC membership is handy if you want to use the membership for your firearms licence. If you do want to start shooting on the club’s ranges, then a club membership is needed.
It is important to understand that being part of the state and national organisations enables the sport to exist. Through your membership fee, these organisations can liaise at state, national and international level on behalf of the members, and put the spotlight on the sport of shooting.

Each Q Magnet has a black orientation arrow (or triangle) just above the model number. It’s important when applying your Q Magnets that the arrow is always facing along the body or limb, pointing towards the head.
The Magnetic Viewing Film allows you to see the alternating pole boundaries and how the orientation arrow always lines up with a boundary. As seen with this Heaxpolar magnet.
The interpole boundary can also be seen lining up with the orientation arrow on the Quadrapolar Q Magnet (see below). As explained in the device selection page, the alternating pole boundary is where the main pain relieving and tissue healing properties of a static magnetic field reside.
There are two main reasons why Q Magnets should be placed with the orientation arrow facing up:
- The sweet spot (see below) of the magnet is at the alternating pole boundary and you want this line to be placed as close as possible directly over the nerve. Pointing the orientation arrow up towards the head follows the direction of the nerve which tend to run along the limb back to the spine.
- If two or more Q Magnets are used close together and they are not aligned in the same direction, then it’s possible for opposite poles of adjacent magnets to cancel each other out, thereby reducing their effectiveness.
The active area of the magnet, or sweet spot is located at the boundary between the alternating poles, shown in red in the image below. Since magnetic field lines are invisible to the naked eye, this can be difficult to visualise. But sprinkling iron filings on the magnet gives a picture of the direction of the field lines as seen below. The iron filings follow the direction of the magnetic field gradient between the poles shown by the red arrow. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Web Desk :
During the raid, a target killer involved in a series of terrorist activities was arrested, the Spokesman CTD said. The accused belonged to an outlawed Sunni militant group, he said. During the initial investigation, the accused has confessed involvement in attacks at a shop on the Sariab road area of Quetta, the Spokesman added. He was involved in sectarian terrorist attacks.
Target killer arrested
The accused also confessed looting a bank, he mentioned. Security forces also recovered a pistol and other weapons from the possession of the suspected militant. “The accused is being interrogated”, he said.
The raid has come few days after the CTD killed a key commander of the defunct organization in Balochistan’s Mastung district. The commander was involved in a terrorist attack that had claimed over 100 precious human lives including Siraj Raisani on July 13, 2013. Late Raisani was contesting an election on the ticket of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP).
Balochistan under the grip of violence
Balochistan has been under the grip of violence for last more than one and a half-decade. Bomb explosions, targeted killings, and rocket attacks have claimed scores of precocious human lives. Since then, security remains tightened in Quetta and all troubled parts of Balochistan to maintain the order. The provincial government has deployed the Frontier Corps in all sensitive and troubled parts of the province to ensure peace.
The FC was given policing powers in Quetta during former chief minister Balochistan, Nawab Muhammad Aslam Raisani led government. Acts of targeted killings and bomb explosions were almost the order of the day at that time. Following successful actions by the security forces, the number of terrorist incidents has considerably decreased in Balochistan. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

With the recent discovery of some remarkable, long-lost embroideries by Madge Gill, the spotlight is back on the self-taught visionary artist
In 2015, Raw Vision published a series of colour photographs, taken in 1947, of one of the greatest exponents of mediumistic art, Madge Gill (1882–1961). One photo shows the artist in her East London home, wearing a dress she has embroidered in wild colours that contrast with the staid Victorian decor around her. In another image, Gill sits surrounded by draped fabrics, all of which she has delicately embroidered, the intricate threads creating a free flowing, hypnotic sea of pattern. All but one of the embroidered works shown in these 1947 photographs have never been seen by the public – until now.
Orphaned as a child, Gill suffered hardship and tragedy in her life and, deeply depressed, used art as a way to express her emotions and establish an identity for herself. Claiming to be channelling the will of her spirit-guide “Myrninerest”, she created prolifically. She wrote, painted and created the numerous, mesmerising ink drawings on paper, calico and postcards for which she is well-known today. She also made the skillfully embroidered rugs, hangings and dresses, many of which subsequently disappeared.

Book Review: 6:20 AM Man: A Baldacci Thriller That Kept Me Glued from Dawn to Dusk
6:20 AM Man: A Baldacci Thriller That Kept Me Glued from Dawn to Dusk
I've always been more of a coffee-at-6-AM kinda guy than a mysterious-thriller-at-6-AM sort, but when I picked up David Baldacci's '6:20 AM Man,' I knew it was going to be a long day. However, with a plot as addictive as that first cup of joe, I was hooked from the first sip...err, page.
Baldacci has always been a master of the thriller genre, and '6:20 AM Man' doesn't disappoint. This time, he introduces us to an ordinary man who suddenly finds himself at the center of an extraordinary conspiracy. The book's title might suggest an early morning start, but trust me, once you start, you won't want to stop until the sun sets.
The story kicks off when our unsuspecting protagonist, Mark Bishop, is just a regular guy commuting to work on the 6:20 AM train. He's got a mundane job, a predictable routine, and a habit of dodging small talk. But all that changes when he accidentally overhears a conversation that he shouldn't have. Suddenly, he's thrust into a world of espionage, political intrigue, and danger, and his life takes a dizzying 180-degree turn.
The plot is an intricate puzzle that Baldacci masterfully pieces together, revealing shocking twists and layers upon layers of secrets that will keep you guessing. As Mark Bishop becomes "6:20 AM Man," he's forced to navigate a treacherous landscape of double-crosses, shadowy figures, and international conspiracies. With every page, the suspense tightens like a vice, and you can't help but wonder just who Mark can trust.
The characters are as intriguing as the plot itself. They're flawed, relatable, and so well-drawn that you can't help but get invested in their fates. You'll find yourself rooting for the "6:20 AM Man" as he transforms from an average guy to a protagonist that could give Jason Bourne a run for his money.
Baldacci's writing is as smooth as a fine single malt, and he delivers suspense and intrigue with the precision of a surgeon. The book balances action, mystery, and character development so well that you'll be hard-pressed to put it down – even if your alarm clock says it's time for bed.
In conclusion, '6:20 AM Man' is a thrilling ride that can make even a non-morning person like me willingly wake up at the crack of dawn just to read one more chapter. Baldacci has crafted a suspenseful masterpiece that you won't want to miss. So, fellow readers, make sure you have plenty of coffee on hand, because once you start, you're in for a wild, caffeine-fueled adventure that you won't want to end. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Waterdown, Ontario is a small town west of Burlington that has been a community of Hamilton, Ontario since 2001.
Located east of highway 6 along the historic Dundas highway 5, the village dates back to the 1600’s and the first inhabitants in the area, the Neutral Indians.
Waterdown was an important mill town from the 1800s to the early twentieth century and was named because one of the locals decided to christen the mill with water instead of alcohol.
Waterdown is in close proximity to other large cities so there’s lots to see close by. It’s approximately 68 km from Toronto and 85 km from Niagara Falls.
Watertown’s historic buildings and unique shops and pubs give it a real small town charm, and its many community events include the annual Ribfest, candlelit choral walk and regular movies in the park.
The picturesque Great Falls is a 10 metre waterfall that is popular with visitors and residents alike. This beautiful waterfall can be seen from the Bruce Trail which is the oldest and longest marked hiking trail in Canada.
Waterdown has the wonderful small town feel people are looking for which is why the population is growing rapidly. Commuters from the GTA are attracted by its character, affordable prices and proximity to the QEW and Go service. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I don’t know about you but every one of my bike rides has to involve a stop off for tea and cake!
Total Fruit Cake was actually developed by working with a cycling group over several months and an owner of a specialist bike shop in Birmingham, as apparently there are many cyclists out here who are not that keen on nutrition bars – but seemingly more keen on a filling slice of fruit cake!
It’s bursting with dates, apricots, nuts & vine fruits and the fruit is infused with Sheffield Honey & Sheffield’s Birdhouse Tea Company ‘Full Monty’ tea. A perfect energy boost for cyclists and all sorts of other sports people!
And keeping the Yorkshire theme, the cakes are made with Longley Farm Butter, local Free Range Eggs & Flour from Driffield in Yorkshire.
So for all those of you inspired by the Tour de Yorkshire to get out in our beautiful countryside on your bikes, the slices are designed to slide into a pocket or pop into a rucksack side pocket; perfect for a pack-up!
The cake slices are available in boxes of 14 slices in a fab shelf ready box, and are available in lots of outlets around Sheffield.

This ring came to life when my grandmother one day gave me her old ring where the stone had fallen out. I was left with just the square box with diamonds around. She and I have always had a love for small creatures so when I came up with the idea to add a different creatures into the box I knew it was a perfect match.
The scarab is generally associated with old Egypt which indeed made this beetle their most important religious symbol; however, scarabs and other beetles have been worshiped in various ways from Prehistory. The scarab enjoyed a sacred status among the ancient Egyptians. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the world of regenerative medicine, there is growing excitement about a tiny but powerful component of our cells: exosomes. These small, membrane-bound vesicles have piqued the attention of scientists and healthcare professionals alike, thanks to their unique role in cell communication and their potential applications in promoting healing and wellness.
But what are exosomes, and why are they so important in regenerative medicine? Keep reading to find out!
What Are Exosomes?
Let’s start at the beginning–what are exosomes?
Exosomes are microscopic vesicles, typically ranging between 50 to 150 nanometers in size (diameter), released by almost every cell in the body. Their main function is to facilitate communication between cells by carrying important cellular materials like proteins, lipids, and certain nucleic acids. Functioning like tiny messengers, exosomes transfer information that can affect how cells function, repair themselves, and even influence other nearby cells.
These little messengers, when derived from stem cells, are now being studied for their ability to help the body heal, especially in areas like tissue repair and reducing inflammation.
Role of Exosomes in Regenerative Medicine
The role of stem-cell derived exosomes (sometimes called nanoparticles) in regenerative medicine has been a game-changer. Because of their ability to influence cellular function, exosomes are being explored for a wide variety of applications, including tissue repair, immune modulation, and even gene therapy.
One of the key areas where exosomes are showing promise is in their ability to aid in recovery after injury or disease. They deliver cell influential bio-materials that help promote cell growth and healing, and that could lead to faster recovery times for conditions that are difficult to treat.
In regenerative medicine, stem cell derived exosomes are particularly exciting for their potential to help with:
Exosomes carry materials that may promote the growth and healing of tissues, making them a promising tool for helping to heal wounds, repair damaged organs, and regenerate tissue after injury.
They have the potential to reduce inflammation, which can aid in the treatment of chronic diseases that stem from inflammatory responses, such as autoimmune conditions.
Exosomes may help modulate the immune system, potentially offering new ways to support the body’s natural defense mechanisms.
Exosome Treatment & Applications
Current and potential applications are broad and exciting. Stem cell derived exosomes are being applied for biohacking, anti-aging, painful joint degeneration, skin and hair rejuvenation, sexual function improvement, and much, much more.

Braising Can Take the Chill Out of Winter
I am not a winter person. But I must admit, there's nothing like a hearty winter meal followed by a good brandy or a hot cup of tea in front of the fireplace.
Historically man consumed rich and robust fare in winter to counter the cold and add some thermal padding. Culinary anthropology aside, I simply love spending a cold winter Saturday or Sunday preparing soul warming fare that fills the house with its embracing aroma.
It starts with a technique called braising. Braising refers to cooking food, often meat with vegetables, in a relatively small amount of liquid, at low heat for an extended period of time. If you cover the food completely with liquid it is then known as stewing.
The cuts of meat most suitable for braising are ones that are tough, (frequently used muscles), are attached to the bone, and have at least moderate amounts of fat. The best choices include the shank, chuck, brisket, and short ribs. Cuts from the round are tough and can be braised but their fat content is too low to produce the same quality.
Well exercised muscles contain more connective tissue which serves to hold the muscle fibers together. Surrounding the connective tissue is a protein called collagen. Time, heat, and moisture breaks down the collagen into gelatin, the substance that brings body to stocks and decadently lavishes your palate.
However, as the proteins in muscle tissue cook, they tighten and squeeze out their moisture. This actually reduces their tenderness. However, the gelatin, as well as the fat in the meat, more than compensate for this loss of succulence. A tender cut of meat with low fat, such as from the loin, would taste terrible if braised.
It would lose all it's tenderness with little gelatin and fat to take up the slack. Thus, braising can turn a tough piece of meat into a tender, fall off the bone, comfort food. I can think of no better example than the classic dish osso buco, made from veal shanks.
recipe is below
This recipe has a lot of leeway. First, you can use beef shanks but veal produces more gelatin and hence, more tenderness. Lamb shanks would be an excellent substitution.
You can also use carrots in place of the parsnips and potatoes instead of turnips. Whichever ones you choose, cut them into large pieces, (about an inch and a half), so the extended cooking doesn't turn them to mush. (This is why root vegetables and not delicate vegetables are used).
The specific herbs and quantities can be adjusted to suit particular preferences. And please, do not use cooking wine. I am a strong advocate of the time honored adage that if you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it.
Your casserole dish should be large enough to hold all the ingredients and have a snug fitting lid so the liquids do not evaporate. I use a round, glass casserole that is 4 and a half inches deep and 10 inches across inside.
Lastly, the dish would not be complete without a loaf of bread to dip in the juice, (pure heaven), and the right bottle of wine. Go with a full bodied and hearty wine such as Bordeaux, a northern Rhone, Brunello di Montalcino or my favorite, Barolo. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It's Orktober, I've got a light box, and I've been putting various Ork models in and out of various boxes all month. So I thought I'd take some photos of my characters! Starting with Redtoof himself. (Well, one of them).
Here he is with his various attendants. Of course, this is only the 'current' Redtoof - as mentioned in my lore for No Surrender 2, whoever grows (or claims) the Red Toof, gets to be the Warboss of the tribe. He is (usually) from the Snakebite clan, tends to be 'Da Biggest Boss' and grabs 'Da Killa Klaw'.
This is Gubbinz, the head Big Mek of the tribe. He claims to be a Snakebite, but rumour has it he's really a Deffskull - he certainly seems to like he like looting stuff and building fancy new tech.
This is the tribe's somewhat hapless Weirdboy, Durrork Orkora. He's a bit weird, as expected, sometimes he gets possessed by 'spirits', but most of the tribe pay him no attention.
Sometimes the tribe is blessed by a visit from the legendary Old Zogwort - the infamous Warphead known for turning opponents into squigs. (Sadly no rules currently exist for this ability - maybe in the next Codex?) He's useful to have around for a scrap, and there's always an abundance of tasty squigs after he's gone!
Two of Gubbinz' associates. Also totally Snakebites. Legit.
Sometimes that Red Toof doesn't quite come through right - this is Warboss Bluetoof. He's not always respected by all the Boyz, but he is well connected! This is the only one I didn't paint - the wife did this one.
Here's a couple more of the helpers - a Painboy (who doesn't see much of the field, since Snakebites are so tough) and a Nob with the WAAAGH banner, encouraging the Boyz to chop harder.
And here's the regular lads striding forth on a blood soaked battlefield! Or a red background in the light box - I thought it might look dramatic. I hope you enjoyed, thanks for looking, and stay safe! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Guest blog post by Richard C. Edlow, O.D. Chief Executive Officer, Katzen Eye Group.
Technology has contributed many behind-the-scenes, value-added benefits for our practice and for our patients.
The previously tedious act of refilling a prescription has gone from taking 15 to 20 minutes of staff time to approximately two minutes. In the past, a patient would call the office, the call would be triaged to the proper party and a request for the patient’s chart would be generated. Then we would eventually pull the chart from the files (hopefully), send it to the appropriate clinical staff and the call to the pharmacy to authorize the refill.
Nowadays, a patient can simply enter the prescription refill request via our patient web portal, and the tasked request immediately pops up with the patient’s EHR, A couple of mouse clicks later, and the authorization electronically heads off to the patient’s pharmacy. The patient receives a quicker response, and our staff’s time is used more efficiently.
Technological tools have also made it easier for our eye care practice to communicate with other medical specialists. Communication with primary care physicians (PCP), specialists, referring doctors and patients has become so automatic with EHR that increased productivity and enhanced patient management go hand in hand.
- Every patient with a diagnosis of diabetes automatically generates a letter to the PCP.
- Every patient appointment is confirmed via text or email message automatically.
Some of the more visible applications of technology include digital visual acuity systems, which are fabulous in situations such as the regular patient who can recite “TZVECL” with eyes closed and the taller doc who has repeatedly gashed his head with the protruding projector tubes (not to mention the frequent replacement of very expensive bulbs).
Even more important and valuable are the patient education software modules that allow us to explain clearly complex topics, such as cataracts, premium IOLs, narrow angles, wet macular degeneration and so on. We accomplish this in the waiting room, in the exam room and by email, with the suggested content links, to the patient, which greatly improves patient understanding.
So, fear not. Embrace new technology, and continue to provide patients a great experience. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Academics: How Career Structures and Segmentation Undermine Pay Regulation
David Peetz, Georgina Murray
Women academics experience low regulation distance due to collective agreements, state regulation, unionization, and formalized policies. Using a large Australian survey, we find that the occupation is, overall, of mixed gender, but labor segmentation occurs within academia, as there are several labor markets related to academic disciplines. Internal pay gaps are minimized by rules on formal pay, but universities seek “flexibility” through discretionary bonuses. The immediate driver of the gender gap is uneven proportions of women at different levels of academia. Non-pay elements entrench gender-related barriers to advancement, including harassment, issues of insecurity associated with casual and fixed-term work, marginalization of new entrants into teaching-heavy roles, and the impact that norms about care responsibilities have on the domestic–work interface and on women’s access to social capital.

Aim This paper reviews the biogeography of the Australian monsoon tropical biome to highlight general patterns in the distribution of a range of organisms and their environmental correlates and evolutionary history, as well as to identify knowledge gaps. Location Northern Australia, Australian Monsoon Tropics (AMT). The AMT is defined by areas that receive more than 85% of rainfall between November and April. Methods Literature is summarized, including the origin of the monsoon climate, present-day environment, biota and habitat types, and phylogenetic and geographical relationships of selected organisms. Results Some species are widespread throughout the AMT while others are narrow-range endemics. Such contrasting distributions correspond to present-day climates, hydrologies (particularly floodplains), geological features (such as sandstone plateaux), fire regimes, and vegetation types (ranging from rain forest to savanna). Biogeographical and phylogenetic studies of terrestrial plants (e.g. eucalypts) and animals (vertebrates and invertebrates) suggest that distinct bioregions within the AMT reflect the aggregated effects of landscape and environmental history, although more research is required to determine and refine the boundaries of biogeographical zones within the AMT. Phylogenetic analyses of aquatic organisms (fishes and prawns) suggest histories of associations with drainage systems, dispersal barriers, links to New Guinea, and the existence of Lake Carpentaria, now submerged by the Gulf of Carpentaria. Complex adaptations to the landscape and climate in the AMT are illustrated by a number of species. Main conclusions The Australian monsoon is a component of a single global climate system, characterized by a dominant equator-spanning Hadley cell. Evidence of hot, seasonally moist climates dates back to the Late Eocene, implying that certain endemic elements of the AMT biota have a long history. Vicariant differentiation is inferred to have separated the Kimberley and Arnhem Land bioregions from Cape York Peninsula/northern Queensland. Such older patterns are overlaid by younger events, including dispersal from Southeast Asia, and range expansions and contractions. Future palaeoecological and phylogenetic investigations will illuminate the evolution of the AMT biome. Understanding the biogeography of the AMT is essential to provide a framework for ecological studies and the sustainable development of the region. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Unionists on Tuesday (October 11) continued on their weeks long blockades of French petrol refineries and depots, as workers on strike insisted on their demand for higher salaries to giants TotalEnergies and ExxonMobil.
The walkouts and unplanned maintenance at refineries in France run by oil majors TotalEnergies and ExxonMobil have forced more than 60% of national refining capacity offline and blocked distribution from fuel depots.
In southern France, around 100 unionists on strike picketed outside Total and Esso refineries, with some burning wooden pallets and carrying union flags.
“We of course share the suffering of every individual,†CGT union representative Lionel Arbiol said. “The staff exercising their right to strike today are not here to disrupt, they’re only here to show their discontent to uphold the real necessity to be able to live decently with their jobs.â€
The refinery strike has caused snaking queues at French service stations and impacted European markets at a time of global shortages in distillates like diesel.
Benchmark European diesel refining margins hovered near an all-time high of $77.25 a barrel struck on Monday as the industrial action severely tightened supplies.
The strikes have exacerbated discontent within trade unions towards President Emmanuel Macron, who this autumn delayed a final decision on his contested plans for pension reforms, wary of frustration over the cost-of-living crisis.
The French government said on Tuesday it stood ready to intervene to end a weeks-long oil refineries strike that has left a third of the country's fuel stations running low and exacerbated a global shortage of distillates.
"This has lasted long enough, we need to find an agreement in the coming hours," Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told franceinfo radio, hours after Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne held a crisis meeting with ministers late on Monday.
Le Maire said the government was ready to dip once again into strategic fuel reserves and order strikers back to work.
Speaking to RTL radio, government spokesperson Olivier Veran said the government could also requisition refinery personnel to bring the blockades to a halt.
But unionist Olivier Mateu said the move to requisition could only add fuel to the CGT’s fire.
“If it (government) proceeds to requisition, as it has threatened to do, they have to know that many other corporations will join this, we will make sure to organise this,†he said.

Family Days are excellent experiences to increase workers' loyalty and motivation, perceived as an incentive and reward for their effort. The celebration of these gatherings also helps reinforce camaraderie and friendship among coworkers, outside the everyday work environment, highlighting the more human side of individuals. Additionally, sharing this day with children and families fosters cohesion among workers and between them and the company. Finally, children will get a better understanding of their parents' work!
Sobre la bodega
Bodegas DAVID MORENO is a family winery located in La Rioja Alta. We use Tempranillo and Garnacha variety for Reds and Viura for White wines. After a meticulous selection of the grapes, we elaborate a complete range of quality wines: whites, rosés and red youngs, crianzas, reservas and grandes reservas under the brand DAVID MORENO and MONASTERIO DE YUSO. We call our author wines Vado de la Reina and Vobiscum.
Our wine tradition goes back to 1912 when Ponciano Moreno built the first winery with a capacity of 18,000 liters. In 1963 the family moved to Barcelona looking for a better future than the agricultural towns of that time. At the end of 1981, David Moreno decided to leave his position as Technical Engineer to return to his village, put into practice the wine knowledge that his grandfather and his father had transmitted to him and make of his DREAM of being a winemaker a reality.
In 1988 the construction of the current winery began, which has been expanding very little by little, adapting to our growth, new technologies and the needs of our customers.
Our winery provide our wines with the unbeatable temperature and humidity conditions necessary for their proper aging and their subsequent conservation in the bottle.
In a corner of La Gran Cueva we find the Vobiscum Sanctuary, a lattice space that holds a small batch of the best french oak barrels where our Signature Wine ages.
The walk through the cellar reveals many corners that tell us about the history, the culture and the passion of DAVID MORENO for wine. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Cancun, Q. R. — Cancun will host an upcoming July meeting between U.S., Canada and Mexico trade representatives. The groups will participate in the third meeting of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) Free Trade Commission (FTC).
The United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai will travel to Cancún from July 6-7 to participate in the third meeting of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) Free Trade Commission (FTC), the USTR said in a press statement.
She will participate alongside Mexico’s Secretary of Economy, Raquel Buenrostro, and Canada’s Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development, Mary Ng.
The USMCA is the foundational pillar of the trilateral trade relationship, driving regional economic growth and integration. In 2022, U.S. goods and services exports to USMCA parties was valued at nearly $790 billion, a 31 percent increase from 2012 and a 366 percent increase from 1993.
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. exports of goods and services to Canada and Mexico supported an estimated 2.1 million jobs in 2021.
In Mexico, Ministers will review ongoing work by USMCA committees and working groups to continue implementation of the Agreement. They will discuss how the Parties can further facilitate economic growth and investment to increase competitiveness in North America.
The Ministers will also hear from private sector representatives and labor stakeholders on how the USMCA can benefit workers and small businesses in the three countries.
On the margins of the FTC meeting, Ambassador Tai will have separate bilateral meetings with Secretary Buenrostro and Minister Ng.
Ambassador Tai participated in the second meeting of the USMCA FTC in Vancouver, Canada in July 2022 and the United States hosted the inaugural meeting in May 2021. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Brian Calhoun and Randall Ray formed Rockbridge Guitars in 2002. Randall, an avid guitarist, started building and repairing guitars in the 1980’s. As a guitar historian, Randall was able to combine his favorite characteristics of vintage Martins and Gibsons to build his early guitars. At that time, Brian was building mandolins, violins, and doing the custom inlay work for Stelling Banjo Co. In 2000, Brian and Randall collaborated on their first guitar and set out to develop a unique instrument. They wanted a well-balanced instrument that had power and clarity on every note. Most important, they intended to build an instrument that was their own, not a copy of a vintage guitar, but a guitar with a unique voice throughout all the different models. In 2002, the first Rockbridge guitar was built, and Brian and Randall both dedicated their full time and attention to the new business. Adam McNeil, Brian’s childhood friend, joined Rockbridge Guitars in 2007. He came with a solid background in woodworking and fine craftsmanship. Adam has been integral to the production and philosophy of Rockbridge since joining the team.
Jake Hopping started building with Rockbridge in 2013. Jake and Brian became friends while attending Berklee College of Music in the late 90’s. Jake had been a professional bassist and touring musician for 12 years before signing on full-time with Rockbridge.
Rockbridge Guitars takes its name from Rockbridge County, Virginia, as homage to the homeland of the luthiers. The workshop and home base is in historic downtown Charlottesville, Virginia. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Lecce defender Antonino Gallo expressed his disappointment at his side’s 0-0 draw with Roma.
Gallo felt Lecce were in a position to win the game after dominating for the majority of the first half.
In his post-match reaction with DAZN, Gallo commented, “There’s a bitter taste in our mouths tonight. We put in a super performance. We played against a great team and we made them struggle.”
“Today we were the only ones playing, we were unlucky. We bring home the draw and the single point…”
“With Gotti coming in there is more enthusiasm and we all feel we are in a position to start each match,” he added. “The credit for this result goes to him.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

April was a month of experimenting around my productivity and perfectionism, and I must say I was surprised with my results, and let’s just say, I have no idea what I’ll be doing in May.
If you’ve ever wondered what reflecting on an experiment is like “in real life” this is at least a glimpse into the process I use.

When I was creating this illustration, I had the idea that it should include a head, because that’s where the brain is housed, and in the brain is where I think unrooting happens. Ideas, beliefs, desires, needs get uprooted all the time as we grow and change, or at least should, I believe. And when we put down new roots it’s with the hope that they bloom, much like the flowers around her head.
Today we celebrate four years since we launched Rough Cut Press and 49 issues featuring words and artwork by people from all over the world. This work is a love letter to our community and to you, our readers, so we are infinitely grateful that you have been with us so far.
If you would like to celebrate our birthday and support the work we do, any and all contributions would be tremendously helpful for us to continue.
And as far as this month, we offer blooms, wings, and blue mountains.
Next month we continue with our theme
Submission guidelines can be found here.
Thank you again, for everything.
I once wore wings
that crisscrossed against my spine,
pulled tighter than ever,
they held me together like the stitches
that bloodstained my brother’s palm
after a jagged hi-five.
a serrated edge clutched by my sister
peeled apart his skin.
our love does stupid shit like that,
like how I took her green top
and severed it to a halter.
something that would fit me better.
our love knows survival
our love is locked in the attic
our love is big and roofless.
we pushed dad’s spine into a potted plant,
the soil and vines spilling out, our roots
proving hard to contain.
I once wore wings stapled to my clothes,
these abnormal things I could remove
when I wanted to be ignored.
have you ever used a staple remover
to pluck away your grief?
your mother left, I stayed
was what I heard as he pinched
a tick from my skin with his bare hands,
our hands with our identical scars,
my scar blooming from multiple car horns.
I once wore wings made of
my family’s hands.
they kept me grounded, that is
they kept me from ever leaving.
I once wore wings
that came undone at the seam.
they looked like two baby birds
falling from their nest,
right next to the trunk of their tree.

If I Could Be Anyone
I’d be myself, again, on that January
Monday morning in Des Moines with
a styrofoam coffee from a cafe at the back
of the gas station. Hash browns. Dense snow.
Regular work. The soft crack of the cup
between my thighs as I dip the car over the
curb of the parking lot. I feel the shifting weight
of the threadbare duffel bag in the passenger
seat full of beer cans I’ve been drinking in
the bleached bathtubs of motel rooms, my
laptop propped on the toilet seat so I can watch
TV shows where children make all the same
mistakes as me. The cans are muffled
by knit sweaters I found in the one dollar bin
at a Minnesota Salvation Army, and age-soft
books stolen from a library in the suburbs.
Chicago. I look out the windshield past my hands,
not tattooed yet, my last manicure glossed still.
Take a hot sip. Downshift. Tap my grandfather’s ring
against the steering wheel at the final red light
of the town. Push eight-five. Des Moines. Anonymity.
Toward the yellow grasses, a gradient of blue mountains.

For today's adventure, I walked Maddie all around the unpaved lake and had no mishaps despite the path being a mess of snow, ice and mud puddles. It looked very pretty, and the new dusting of snow made it easier to walk.
But on the way back, walking on the road now, I slipped and fell in a big mess of mud on the side of the road that I hadn't seen. I almost dragged Maddie down with me.
As it was, her leash is coated with mud, and my long black coat, the sleeves of my sweatshirt and my pants are a mess. There are globs of mud on the kitchen floor where I took everything off. I guess that writing this is a way of not dealing with the cleanup.
My back hurts a little, but I am basically fine. Nothing like falling in the mud to cushion the impact.
Tonight I am scheduled to play in a tennis mixer, two hours of tennis with different partners and then pizza. I wouldn't think of missing it.
A rewarding snack makes me think of part of my impetus for going to the gym yesterday: the Tootsie Rolls that I will only allow myself to take on the way out.
As I was lollygagging on another cold gray afternoon yesterday, I sat down to look at Facebook (procrastination), and there was a posting from a former colleague wondering if he should go to the gym or take a nap. I guess it was going around.
I know that the strengthening that I do at the gym (and sometimes at home) is important, but I'd much rather play tennis or, when I'm able to do it again, go running. At the gym, I did the difficult Arc machine and then the bike when I had had enough. Then, I did some exercises on the mat, trying to avert my eyes from the girl next to me, who was lunging and lifting without breaking a sweat.
Anyway, the best part of going to the gym is when you get to stop, feeling virtuous and eating those Tootsie Rolls. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Today I got the diagnosis for what was making me so sick to my stomach for 20 days, once recently and once in May. It is collagenous colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease occurring after age 50, in women more than in men. Leave it to me to pick up some weird new thing.
The good news is that it is not caused by graft vs. host disease as suspected, meaning that it would not help to increase my prednisone dose. My lovely new GI doctor said I did not need to take those courses of flagyl and Cipro, although I did need to take the non-absorbable steroid Budesonide, which I now need to continue using until December. Then I can taper.
It is set off my some unknown cause and unfortunately can happen again. But it is benign, so I really can't complain. Oh by the way I have lost about 10 pounds during all of this.
I know what finally made it stop. I kept canceling the pizza mixers at Enfield until finally, with my month running out on my free mixer, I decided to just go, even though I was still having problems. I told Karen at the club that I was going to eat pizza and it would cure me. And sure enough, that's what happened. A scientific study would not find a link, but maybe the pizza scared it out of me.
On another food note, I woke up this morning with a terrible headache. Tylenol didn't work, so I tried Ibuprofen, which finally did the trick. I think it came on last night as I was eating some vegetable tempura to take a break from the chicken stew that I had prepared in an effort to get me through a few days. Living alone, I am not so great about eating a good dinner as I was when Joe was here. I thought some avocado roll and the tempura from Iya Sushi and Noodle would be an inexpensive and healthy alternative to what I had on hand.
Anyway, my rational mind won over when I resisted the temptation to look up "Signs of an an aneurysm," although I just did it and saw that a sudden, severe headache is one. But there are others too, so I feel safe in ruling that out.
Instead, I searched, "Does Japanese food cause headaches" and saw that the miso and soy sauce served with it can be culprits. Since I have had no problems with soy sauce before, I figured it was the miso that came with my vegetable tempura.
So that is what I have and what I do not have. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

When the Russian National Orchestra (RNO) returns to Russia this February from its US concert tour, it will leave behind three young players from its woodwind section. The orchestra is not abandoning the musicians to the whims of fate, but instead launching them on their first independent chamber tour. The three RNO musicians will be joined by two colleagues from Moscow. Together, they comprise the RNO Wind Quintet.
The RNO is Moscow’s finest orchestra and rivals St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky (Kirov) Theater Orchestra and St. Petersburg Philharmonic as the best in all of Russia. The RNO has a considerable following in the US through its regular tours over the past decade and its many recordings. But, for the fledgling RNO Wind Quintet, the February tour, which includes venues on the East Coast of the US and at the Bermuda Festival, is an attempt to crack the difficult nut that is the North American chamber music circuit.
“The chamber music scene is brimming with good young talent – mostly string players,” said Mary Ann Allin, who is organizing the quintet’s tour. “But what sets the RNO Wind Quintet apart is their flawless technique, combined with an enthusiasm for experimental music and new compositions, often their own! Immediately they are collaborating with jazz musicians, choreographers, and music set to poetry or with narration.”

The public is being urged to continue to access care if they need it despite planned industrial action.
The British Medical Association (BMA), Hospital Consultants and Specialists Association (HCSA) and British Dental Association (BDA) have confirmed that junior doctors plan to join strike action on March 13th, 14th and 15th.
Planned industrial action by GMB, Unison and Unite members on both March 6th and 8th has been paused amid negotiations between the Government and trade unions.
NHS pay is a matter for the Government and trade unions.
The NHS has tried and tested plans in place to mitigate risks to patient safety and manage any disruption, including industrial action, but inevitably there will be some service disruption on strike days, with information about the impact of industrial action published nationally here.
Emergency care and other critical services such as maternity departments will be open as usual and life-threatening calls responded to.
However, there will be fewer ambulances on the roads during days of industrial action by ambulance staff, with the NHS prioritising those with life-threatening needs.
The NHS will do everything it can to go ahead with planned procedures - especially for patients in greatest clinical need - and will contact you if your appointment needs to be rescheduled. If you have not been contacted, please attend your appointment as planned.
Local services will also keep their websites and social media accounts up-to-date with information about service disruption – so please check before you travel.
Irrespective of any industrial action, please do not hesitate to come forward to access care if you need it. We’re urging people to make NHS 111 Online their first port of call if they need urgent health advice on days of strike action.
NHS 111 Online can tell you:
- Where to get help for your symptoms
- How to find general health information and advice
- Where to get an emergency supply of your prescribed medicine
- How to get a repeat prescription

On a conference call today Sage announced that they would rebrand their Sage 100c product as Sage 100cloud effective March 7, 2018.
This move was explained as more of a marketing change.
So this is a way to reinforce the connected cloud capabilities of the c-line products and align closer our native cloud solutions under Sage Business Cloud
At least initially, the internal features and benefits of Sage 100cloud will be identical to Sage 100c. Think of Sage 100cloud as Sage’s way of more directly explaining that in the future they expect to have Sage 100cloud utilize more cloud connections.
What Is Sage 100cloud?
Sage 100 Cloud is the product formerly known as Sage 100c. It is optimized for a hosted cloud although you can also run the program locally within your own office.
As an extension of the product formerly referred to as Sage 100c, Sage 100 Cloud offers all the same unique benefits which were included with Sage 100c. The pricing of Sage 100 Cloud is also based on a subscription with minimal up-front costs.
While Sage 100c will run as a hosted application in a cloud environment, it is important to note that the hosting portion is an optional added cost.
Sage first launched Sage 100c in November 2015. Initially, the primary difference between Sage 100 and Sage 100c was that Sage 100c would be sold under a subscription license with less of a hefty up-front cost.
What Is Unique To Sage 100cloud?
Over time Sage has added features unique to Sage 100c:
- Multi-Bin processing from DSD and Scanforce
- AP Automation
- Sage 100c Manufacturing
- Payroll 2.0
- Inactive warehouse
- Sage Mobility by Scanco
As development continues on Sage 100 Cloud we expect the the bulk of new features will be created on that platform. We also expect increased integration capabilities from Sage Business Cloud.
How Can I Host Sage 100cloud?
Sage 100 Cloud will run locally or you may host it run a private or public cloud environment. The choice of a host is completely up to you. There are few limitations on what integrations may be used in the Sage 100 Cloud hosted environment.
As an example, users of Sage 100 Cloud who wish to access the software in the cloud may select from plans ranging from $65/mo per user to $139/mo per user.
The Sage 100 Cloud hosting includes all maintenance, update and upgrade for every version of Sage 100. Data backup, recovery and redundancy is also included with each Sage 100 Cloud hosting plan.
Third-party applications from popular ISVS such as Starship, Scanco, Scanforce, MAPADOC, Highjump, Biznet and more will all work seamlessly when hosted in the Sage 100 Cloud.
Cloud hosting for Sage 100 is most popular with users having multiple remote offices or lacking adequate IT coverage to service their accounting software.

What is The Cost Of AC Installation In San Diego?
Most people consider air conditioning to be a ‘need’ in California anymore rather than a ‘want.’ Especially in Southern California as extreme heat becomes more normal, air conditioning can make the lengthening summers livable.
The cost of a/c installation in San Diego typically ranges from several thousand dollars (for small capacity jobs with no complications and existing vents) to, more likely, 6 or 7 thousand dollars for a larger home with ductwork and venting modifications or updates that may be needed.
There are a variety of factors that influence how much residents can expect for air conditioning installation cost in San Diego. For example, are you looking to have central air installed? Will you need to repair ducts or venting in your home? Or are you able to use an existing vent system?
Additional considerations include:
- Home size and energy efficiency
- Vent and duct condition
- Cooling preferences
- Central air vs. ductless air options
It’s also important to consider that you’ll have several stages of installation if you choose central air, as HVAC providers will need to evaluate your home to determine the right unit for your space, then install the actual unit, and service it regularly. In these cases, you may be required to pay for each stage of the process as it happens, or you may be charged in a lump sum, depending on the contractor.
Ways To Save on A/C Installation
Air conditioning, especially central air conditioning in San Diego, can add up to a considerable expense. And while most would argue it’s worth the money, there are still some ways you can help bring those costs down:
Get A/C Install Bids in the Off Season — This is the perfect example of supply and demand in action. In the middle of summer, HVAC professionals can be very busy and the chances you’ll pay a premium are high. If, on the other hand, you can wait until the worst of the heat has passed, you’ll find much better prices (and typically much faster installs) in the winter months.
Do Your Homework — Many manufacturers and public utilities offer rebates and other financial incentives for energy-efficient a/c units. Check with your local utility and the Energy Star rebate program to see what’s offered in your specific San Diego neighborhood. You may also be eligible for certain tax rebates, depending on the make and model of the unit, so you can check ahead and discuss with your HVAC professional about which units will work best for your home, and which of those might come with added tax incentives.
Frequently Asked Questions About The Cost of AC Installation In San Diego
A: Yes. Home equity loans, cash out refinancing, and personal loans are just a few of the ways you can use the equity in your home to pay for air conditioning and HVAC updates.
Q: Can I DIY a/c Installation?
A: Yes. Like most things, where there’s a will there is usually a way, however it’s worth noting that this is a typically a job best left to professionals. Especially in San Diego where heat is an issue, a licensed HVAC professional has the tools and experience to get you the best unit for your space and your cooling needs. They can also make sure your home, and your a/c installation, is as energy-efficient as possible (and cost effective to run) in the long term.
A: In general — yes — however there are a lot of factors that influence installation costs for both types of cooling that will impact the pricing.
Q: Does central air increase a home’s value?
A: Yes. On average, installing a/c in San Diego can increase a home’s value as much as 10%. It’s also high on the list of buyer deal breakers, especially in California, so if you’re considering selling your home, this should be one of the updates that make the home improvement list. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
After facing a major setback with its Exynos 2500 “dream chip”, Samsung’s smartphone division might do the unthinkable: switch its production from its sister firm Samsung Foundry to arch-rival TSMC. A rumor circulating on X suggests this surprising possibility could happen soon. The Korean firm reportedly weighing this unexpected strategy to return to making competitive Exynos chips at the earliest.
Samsung eyes TSMC for the next Exynos after foundry shortfalls
TSMC is the world’s largest semiconductor foundry, with Samsung Foundry distantly following it. The former’s chip fabrication technology is also widely considered superior, attracting big chip designers who consistently favor its services. The Taiwanese firm has secured manufacturing contracts for advanced chips from nearly every major industry player, while Samsung has struggled to land any notable deals.
While TSMC launched its first 3nm smartphone processor last year — Apple’s A17 Pro for the iPhone 15 Pro lineup — Samsung has yet to make one. Its second-gen 3nm yield rate is still too low for mass production. The Korean conglomerate was expected to produce the Exynos 2500 for the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. However, low yields have allegedly forced it to cancel the new flagship processor.
Reports suggest the Exynos 2500 is a joint project between Samsung’s smartphone and semiconductor divisions. The so-called “dream chip” was supposed to bring the company back on track after a series of underperforming Exynos processors. However, Samsung Foundry’s shortcomings have spoiled the plans, leaving the smartphone division dissatisfied and reportedly considering a strategic shift.
If Samsung’s smartphone division moves to TSMC for the production of its advanced processors, it would mean a significant loss of business for Samsung Foundry. However, the smartphone unit needs to prioritize its own interests to avoid losing its technological edge in a competitive market. Time will tell whether this shift happens anytime soon or if Samsung Foundry will bounce back. We will keep you posted. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

“I press on to reach the end of the race and
receive the heavenly prize for which God,
through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”
– Philippians 3:14
As coaches, we go into every season with goals. There’s always a prize we’re chasing. It could be a state championship or maybe just to win more games than we did last season. Regardless of the goal, we know that it will take hard work and relentless pursuit to achieve them. During the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece, American sharpshooter, Matt Emmons had all but won the gold medal. He was far ahead of his competition in the 50-meter rife competition and only a disaster could keep him from the greatest victory of his life. He looked through the scope, squeezed the trigger and watched as his round hit the bulls-eye.
Olympic gold! But wait, what were the judges talking about? It was then that Emmons realized he had fired on the wrong target! The mistake caused him to fall from first place to eighth place and out of the running for a medal. Emmons’s tragic error reminds us that while we should have a target to aim for in life, it must be the right one!
The Apostle Paul knew the importance of setting goals. Paul wrote his letter to the Philippians handcuffed to a guard in a dark and filthy prison. Even in the worst of circumstances, Paul kept his faith and continued to pursue heavenly goals. Regardless of Paul’s suffering, he longed for Jesus Christ. This gave him unending hope and the motivation to keep pressing on. As God’s people, it’s important that we set goals that are consistent with God’s will for our lives and then press on in the direction of those goals. Living a life that is pleasing to God should be our primary goal. Paul had it tough, things didn’t always go his way. However, God gave him His strength when he needed it. He will do the same for you.
Heavenly Father, help me to keep my eyes on the right targets today. Give me Your strength to handle the tough times when they come. Keep me in Your perfect will. Amen. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
So, here we are again, with more Changes to the website and its scheduled content. Specifically, if you are a regular visitor here, you might be wondering where the usual Wednesday post is, being “NPC of the Week”. Well, that’s simple, really…
You don’t exist, because we don’t have regular visitors, and nobody read the “NPC of the Week” posts I’ve put up. We’ve been doing that for the last three months, and those posts have garnered exactly zero interest for visitors. Therefore, I am cancelling that content. I gave it a few months, pushed it on social media, and nobody was interested. Moving on.
Anyway, where do we go from here, then? Well, I have a few ideas, but rather than just dive right into trying them out, I’m going to give these plans a bit of time to work them out. So what does that mean for Wednesday posts, then?
If I have something worth writing a post about, I’ll try to drop it on future Wednesdays, until I decide what else I might post here. Otherwise, I expect we’ll only be posting the Monday and Friday podcasts on the website, for the foreseeable future. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
At the restaurant, I handed out little bags of candy hearts, the kind with words printed on them, to each of the volunteers with whom we were working for the month of February in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Valentine’s Day was a good excuse to go out to dinner, and we were in a festive mood. “Let’s play a game while we wait for our food,” I instructed. “See if you can arrange the words on your hearts to make a Valentine message to your spouse.” I had randomly assigned hearts to each bag. Quiet reigned for a few minutes as we shuffled the words on our candy hearts to come up with something to say. When my turn came, I turned to Terry and said, “My dear GOAT…” Everyone laughed. At the time, I didn’t know that GOAT was an acronym for “Greatest Of All Time.”
Another lady said to her husband, “Kiss me,” and we witnessed that exchange. Although a bit stilted and limited to the hand that we were dealt, each spoken message conveyed the love that we each had for our spouse in a lighthearted, fun way.
Love letters are not sent so much now, in these days of instant communication. They used to be really flowery and romantic, and people used their words to express frankly what they were feeling. Contrast that to sending a text on a smartphone. Sometimes, it’s hard to discern a person’s intent, and words written in haste can so easily be misinterpreted, not to mention the auto-correct feature wanting to put different words into the message.
“Your lives are a letter written in our hearts; everyone can read it and recognize our good work among you. Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This ‘letter’ is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.” (2 Corinthians 3:2b-3 NLT)
The apostle Paul recognized that the people with whom he worked were now different through their encounter with Jesus. Their changed lives reflected the glory of the Christ Whom they carried within. People were drawn to the light of the gospel through them.
We have all known people whom we just wanted to be around because they had something appealing. When I first went to a week-long church camp at the age of twelve, I hung around the two leaders during my free time. I didn’t realize that it was the love of Jesus that they portrayed that drew me to them.
Words written on candy hearts are preprogramed, stamped by a machine. Believers, on the other hand, are each a unique message to the world around them, written individually by the Spirit of God. Let’s remember that we are love letters that others can read and ultimately be drawn to God.
Prayer: Thank You, Lord, that You have written Your love letter on our hearts. Help us to live in such a way that others will be drawn to You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Epidural Steroid Injection
HOME / SERVICES / PAIN TREATMENTS / Epidural Steroid Injection
Those with neck, arm, back and leg pain, caused by inflamed spinal nerves, can potentially receive relief from an epidural steroid injection.
Those who suffer from chronic pain in the neck, arms, back or legs, due to inflamed spinal nerves, could benefit from an epidural steroid injection which is delivered to the spinal nerve through the epidural space. Depending on the individual, the level of pain and the area of the pain, the pain relief from an epidural steroid injection could last for days, years, or anything in between. The primary goal of an epidural steroid injection is to relieve the pain to the extent the patient is able to begin a physical therapy program and resume their normal, day-to-day activities.
What Medications are Used in an Epidural Steroid Injection?
Epidural steroid injections include a numbing agent such as lidocaine or bupivacaine, and a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation. Although the epidural steroid injection does flush out the proteins causing the inflammation, it does not decrease the size of a herniated disc. The pain relief, however, can allow the condition of the spine to improve through a strengthening exercise program. If you have one of the following conditions, you might benefit from an epidural steroid injection:
Risks Associated with Epidural Steroid Injections
Those who have an infection or a bleeding problem should not choose an epidural steroid injection as a method of pain relief. Those with diabetes could find an epidural steroid injection elevates blood sugar, and an epidural steroid injection can, among some patients, elevate blood pressure and eye pressure among those with glaucoma. If you are currently taking a blood-thinning medication, you should stop taking the medication several days prior to receiving your epidural steroid injection. Doctors sometimes use epidural steroid injections as a means of determining whether a surgical procedure could be the next step in the quest for relief from pain.
The Process of an Epidural Steroid Injection
You will be asked to lie face down on an x-ray table, then a local anesthetic will numb the area to be treated. You will remain awake and alert during the procedures, and a low dosage of Valium or another anti-anxiety drug may be given to you prior to the procedure. A fluoroscope will be used to direct a hollow needle between the bony vertebrae into the epidural space, where the steroid medication will be delivered as closely to the inflamed nerve root as possible. Patients typically report they feel more pressure than pain. While most people feel at least some pain relief, those who experienced only mild pain relief may have one or two more injections at 1-4 week intervals to achieve full pain relief.

Once you’ve decided on your new Sego home, all that’s left to do is sell your current one. And this is where staging comes in. Effective staging isn’t just for show — in fact, staging your home the right way will ensure that you sell it as quickly as possible and maximize its sales price. Take a look at a few of our favorite tips and tricks when it comes to the art of staging.
Declutter: First and foremost, it’s crucial to go through every room to clean up the “clutter zones,” aka areas filled with personal keepsakes, fusty decor, and things to throw away. Pack up or discard everything to make the space feel open and inviting. (This also makes moving much easier!)
Make Quick Fixes: The next thing to do is look for the “quick fixes” — removing old area rugs to show off the hardwood floors, taking down curtains and cleaning windows, updating lampshades, replacing light bulbs, rearranging furniture, etc. Remember, even little adjustments make a big impact.
Decide on Furniture: It’s time to make a final decision on what furniture should stay and what should go. Try to see your home through a buyer’s eyes. Keep color, style, and function in mind to make the most confident and informed choice.
Depersonalize: Buyers want to look at your home and envision making it their own, so make sure to “depersonalize.” Neutralizing colored walls with trendy grays or off-whites will make your home look like an open canvas that’s ready to be personalized. Mirrors on the wall also help to create a wide open feel.
Fresh Look: The majority of potential buyers see your home in photos online before they see it in person, so everything you do should be about making that crucial first impression a positive one. Touches that evoke a fresh and clean feeling like bright flowers, folded towels in the bathroom, and bowls of fruit in the kitchen.
When you understand where the eye goes first, as well as what’s pleasant and positive and what needs a change, you can make the best adjustments to not only impress buyers, but win them over. We can’t wait to work with you to get you moved into your new Sego home in Daybreak in South Jordan. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts
When community leaders and designers were envisioning the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, creating great places and public spaces was just as important as designing the interior, said president Kathy Ramsberger.
That’s part of the reason the center’s entrance fronts the CNL Arts Plaza, a large performance piazza and community courtyard that will hold up to 3,000 people and serve as the center’s “fourth theater.”
Magnolia Avenue separates the center and the plaza, but straddling the street and connecting the two spaces is the DeVos Family Room, a floating glass-enclosed room that can be used for private parties. A roof terrace is planned above the DeVos room that will connect to an interior balcony at the top of the soaring atrium lobby.
The 2,700-seat Walt Disney Theater is an amplified theater perfect for Broadway shows, and the 300-seat Alexis and Jim Pugh Theater will host smaller theater, dance and music performances. Center leaders are still in a capital campaign to raise money for the planned 1,700-seat Acoustical Theater, for which they plan to break ground this month.
The center will open November 6 with 11 days of planned events, including shows that showcase the Disney and Pugh theaters.
Although the center can’t yet announce its upcoming performances, its programming will range from Broadway productions to family and comedy shows, jazz and rock concerts, Ramsberger said.
“The goal is to be not only doing the big commercial work but also partnering and collaborating with the local, emerging artists,” she said.
Groups can reserve a variety of spaces for private events, and docents will be available to lead group tours. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Balsamic vinegar (Italian: aceto balsamico) originates from Italy, as is popular throughout the world.
The original, costly, traditional balsamic vinegar (Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale), is made from a reduction of cooked white Trebbiano grape juice, and used as a condiment.

Appreciated in the House of Este during the Renaissance, it is highly valued by modern chefs and gourmet food lovers.
Interestingly, balsamic vinegar contains no balsam. The word balsamico means “balsam-like” in the sense of “restorative” or “curative”. In fact, there are a number of supposed health benefits attached to it.

- Balsamic can help boost the activity of the digestive enzyme pepsin thus improving metabolism
- Balsamic may help control diabetes. Study suggests that by adding as little as five teaspoons of the vinegar with a meal can improve insulin sensitivity. Better insulin sensitivity means better diabetes control and lowered risk of dangerous complications
- Balsamic can reduce cholesterol level
- Balsamic antioxidant may slow the aging process
- Balsamic may reduce the frequency of headaches
- Balsamic contains important minerals that can strengthen the bones
- Balsamic can help prevent anemia and fatigue
- Balsamic can help suppress appetite and therefore an aid in controlling weight

The yarn for Miss P’s blanket hasn’t arrived yet and I finished my socks, so I needed a new project. I remembered I bought the yarn last year for these little toys. The pattern is from Esther Joy Knits – called Fowl Friends.
The first one was definitely a learning opportunity and there are some things I will change next time.
- Use a different cast on (I used a long tail cast on, but I think a cable one would be better).
- I would knit the overall straps after I had stuff the doll and stitched the arms and legs.
