Eating cantaloupe is a great way to cool off on a hot summer day, plus it's a great source of vitamin C that your body needs for normal immune system function and healthy wrinkle-free skin. One cup of cubed cantaloupe has close to 60 milligrams of vitamin C, which is more than half of the recommended intake for a whole day.
Cantaloupes also have plenty of potassium, so it’s good for your blood pressure, and lots of vitamin A, which is good for normal vision and clear healthy skin.
And it’s perfect for a weight loss diet. One cup of cantaloupe chunks has about 40 calories.
Choose cantaloupes that have a sweet, but fresh aroma and feel heavy for their physical size. Avoid cantaloupes that have a strong sweet smell — they may be over-ripe.
Eat several cantaloupe slices as a sweet refreshing snack or combine your cantaloupe with sliced fruits and melons chunks for delicious and healthy fruit salads. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Aermacchi is leading from the front as it bids to land European training deal
Aermacchi used the show to underline its front-runner status in a European contest to supply a new generation of advanced trainer aircraft, fending off rivals BAE Systems, Dassault and EADS and playing down an emerging challenge from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and Lockheed Martin with the supersonic T-50 Golden Eagle. Senior officials within the Italian company remain upbeat about its prospects of landing the key element of the planned Advanced European Jet Pilot Training, or Eurotraining scheme, which aims to deliver common services to up to 12 European air forces from early next decade.
Already renowned as a training aircraft supplier with over 40 customers worldwide, Aermacchi is playing on its recent integration into
“The M346 is the only aircraft that can fulfil all the requirements and specifications of the Eurotraining programme,” Aermacchi chief executive Carmelo Cosentino said at the show, stressing the type’s advanced stage of development compared with its proposed European rivals.
The company took its two M346 prototypes to Le Bourget, with these having logged 70 flight hours by 15 June. A third, pre-series production aircraft is also in preparation, and will support an anticipated 700-flight-hour certification campaign planned to end during 2009. The M346 has so far reached a maximum altitude of 35,000ft (10,700m) and achieved a top speed of 325kt (600km/h) during development testing.
“We are now thinking on how to industrialise the aircraft,” says Cosentino. “Aermacchi will try to widen co-operation so that each of the 12 [Eurotraining nations] has some technology on the aircraft.” The Greek defence ministry has signed for a 20% stake in the programme, with
Aermacchi’s proposed training system also includes an embedded simulation capability, jointly developed with Galileo and
KAI and Lockheed, meanwhile, signed an initial one-year teaming agreement with Hellenic Aerospace Industry (HAI) during the show to assess the T-50 for the future training requirements of the Greek air force, which has one of the most pressing fleet-renewal requirements among the proposed Eurotraining partners. The South Korean/US industry team had been seeking a European partner for almost a year, in an effort to enhance their export prospects (Flight International, 29 June–
Like Aermacchi, KAI is promoting an integrated training system also including its KT-1 basic trainer, 85 of which have been built, along with the high-performance T-50. Around 90% of the test objectives for the T-50 have been met over almost 1,100 flights using four prototypes, says Alex Jun, KAI’s director of T-50 marketing. Testing will conclude in October – the same month that the South Korean air force’s first production aircraft will be delivered. Ten T-50s are now in assembly for the domestic market.
Other aircraft being considered under the Eurotraining study include single- and twin-engine designs from Dassault and the long-touted Mako advanced trainer concept marketed for several years by EADS Military Aircraft. EADS has also signed a co-operation agreement with HAI on possible co-operation on military and civil aircraft production – slanted largely at a renewed sales campaign for the Eurofighter Typhoon – and on future military upgrade programmes. However, the pact does not specifically mention the Mako. BAE Systems’ new-generation Hawk remains an outside candidate for the Eurotraining requirement.

Our goal for living should be righteousness, it is the everlasting truth and our foundation for living this life in this earth suit. Our consequences are the iniquities, the self inflicted nonsense that draws us into a state of confusion due our concern for how we feel or our emotions. Male or Female the tryst prevails and eventually separates us from Agape Love, God's Love, the God kind of Life- Zoe. There is no righteousness without God and the only way to God is through Jesus, His Son. Stop the separation!
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Elohe Tishuathi (God of My Salvation, Psalm 51:14); we come in a spirit of oneness thanking You for the desire to have everlasting righteousness. We praise You for the understanding of Your Law as Truth. We decree and declare blessings for those who seek righteousness and pursue a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ, who is the Way. Now, for the sake of the Kingdom and the Glory of God, we petition, with an anointing in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I've fallen behind in my "Make A Garment A Month" projects -- August and September have both disappeared with their respective makes still sitting in pieces on the "to do" pile...
But I jumped back in this month, with Sarah Liz's wonderful October theme, Opal. I love opals, and since they're my birthstone I can wear them without incurring any bad luck :) I have a beautiful sweater knit that I wanted to use for this month, as it's all blue and shiny white and opal-like...but instead, I couldn't resist making this new Vogue pattern from a red ponte knit that I've had in the stash for a while.
So I'm calling it October's Fire Opal dress!
I used Vogue 9022, a pattern that I ordered pretty quickly after it was released. I like the relaxed feel of it, and the cute pockets. I thought it would be a great work dress.
Once again, without even consciously realizing it, I've made a copy of the pattern cover. My dress is a similar solid red, although I could definitely see this one in a colour-blocked version. It also states that this can be made knit or woven; since I chose a knit, I left out the walking vent in the back as well as the keyhole opening at the back neck. Just stitched up that centre seam top to bottom -- I left in the seam, however, to assist with some shaping.
The making of it was easy. It's just basic straight seams, no set in sleeves, and some hems & facing. I did add in an extra inch to each side below the waist by grading out, since my pattern was a medium -- and while I'm generally medium on top, I'm large on bottom.
The only unusual bit is the pocket construction. The side panel is in two lengths, and you stitch together the bottom seam of the pocket and then fold that length over to form the pocket. Despite there being "fold lines" marked, I would strongly suggest that after folding these pieces you carefully measure both side panels to be sure that they are even -- you don't want to have to unpick one side after sewing everything and readjust it. Don't ask me how I know that.
Red dress outside on a beautiful fall day |
There is no stitching to hold down the tops of the pockets -- I suppose you could top stitch them before continuing with construction if you wanted that look. As is, it is a loose, soft look that I quite like.
Overall I am pleased with this dress. The knit has enough weight that it doesn't cling, and the lines of the pocket seam and of the neck facing don't show through. I was going to switch the neck facing to a simple turned under neckline hem, but decided against it as I wanted a clean finish, and was worried about puckering at the neckline if I just stitched it down. You could probably also finish it with a neck binding if you preferred.
Feels good to be getting back into some fall sewing with this bright and comfortable dress. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Roast chicken gets the surprise flavor of lemon marmalade.
Almost every morning, I slather jam or marmalade on toast.
I’ve also used it time and again for filling batch after batch of thumbprint cookies.
And I’ve warmed it to brush on fruit tarts to give them a dazzling gloss.
But “Blue Chair Cooks with Jam and Marmalade” (Andrews McMeel), of which I received a review copy, really opened my eyes to so many other ways you can use jam in everyday cooking. The book is by Rachel Saunders, founder of Blue Chair Fruit Company, a jam company that specializes in jams made from sustainable fruit grown in the Bay Area.
How about a vibrant beet soup made with red plum jam? Or prawn and squid paella made with nectarine jam? Or even tempeh stir-fried with mushrooms, bok choy and greengage jam?
You’ll find those recipes and other creative fare in these pages, along with recipes to make jam if you don’t want to just buy a ready-made jar from the market.
“My Roast Chicken” appealed to me because the whole bird is roasted with a lemon marmalade and fresh rosemary mixture slathered underneath its skin.
With a dwarf Meyer lemon tree in my backyard, I always end up with a steady supply of this fragrant citrus that’s a cross between a Eureka lemon and a tangerine. I use them to make pitchers of lemonade, all manner of baked goods, and Meyer Lemon and Vanilla Bean Marmalade, a Bon Appetit magazine recipe that I’ve been making every winter.
My home-grown Meyer lemons, and homemade Meyer lemon and vanilla bean marmalade.
I was curious as to whether the marmalade would make a real difference or if it would turn this chicken into dessert. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Newcastle United are weighing up a move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as part of a four-man Arsenal raid in the January transfer window. Rob Holding, Mohamed Elneny and Eddie Nketiah are the other Arsenal players on the radar of the Toon Army.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 32, is touted for Emirates exit having not played for Arsenal since a disciplinary breach in December that also cost him the captain’s armband. The striker’s relationship with Mikel Arteta seems unfixable and while he is currently at AFCON with Gabon, the Gunners will consider offers for him in the ongoing winter transfer window.
Newcastle United are keen on Aubameyang, as the Magpies enjoy their first transfer window under their new Saudi ownership. Following the £300million takeover back in October, the Toon Army have been linked with a host of big names in the transfer market.
The Magpies are close to making their first signing of the winter window in the form of full-back Kieran Trippier, who is set to arrive at St. James’ Park after Atletico Madrid accepted a £12m fee plus add-ons on Wednesday. The potential arrival of Trippier is the start of the club’s rebuild under new owners, as manager Eddie Howe looks to maintain Newcastle’s top-flight status.
Newcastle must bring in a potent goalscorer
Eddie Howe’s team are second bottom of the Premier League, having recorded just one league win all season. They have conceded 42 goals in 19 games so far, a defensive record only matched by basement club Norwich City.
Thus, a move for Kieran Trippier makes complete sense for Newcastle. The England international could help tighten Howe’s backline, which has been all over the place since the beginning of the campaign. The Magpies are also in search of a top-class centre-back to marshal their defence, with none of their current crop of defenders living up to their standards.
Considering Newcastle have netted only 19 times in 19 games, signing a striker is also high on Howe’s priority list in the transfer window. And their hunt must have accelerated following the recent injury to Callum Wilson, who could be sidelined for a number of months with a torn calf muscle.
Wilson is the club’s top scorer this term with six goals and his injury is a big blow for Howe’s side. That being said, the Toon Army must bring in a player to not only cover for the England international but also improve their toothless attack.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would be a coup for the Magpies
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a proven striker at the highest level and that’s something for Newcastle to factor in. Having already reported for the AFCON, he is likely to miss the vast majority of the early-winter schedule this month but the striker could make an instant impact at St. James’ Park after he returns.
The Gabon international has the skill-set and the experience to make things click at the top end of the pitch for Howe’s side, whilst bringing in some much-needed leadership to the squad. The out-of-favour Arsenal star would instantly improve Howe’s starting XI and allow the likes of Allan Saint-Maximin, Joelinton and Miguel Almiron to flourish more in the final third.
With Trippier on the brink of becoming a Newcastle player, Howe and co. must turn their focus towards thrashing out a deal with Arsenal for Aubameyang.

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women’s achievements or rally for women’s equality.
Marked annually on March 8th, International Women’s Day (IWD) is one of the most important days of the year to:
- celebrate women’s achievements
- raise awareness about women’s equality
- lobby for accelerated gender parity
- fundraise for female-focused charities
What’s the theme for International Women’s Day?
The campaign theme for International Women’s Day 2021 is ‘Choose To Challenge‘. A challenged world is an alert world. And from challenge comes change. So let’s all #ChooseToChallenge.
What’s the history of International Women’s Day?
International Women’s Day has occurred for well over a century with the first gathering held in 1911. Learn more about the day’s timeline.
What colors symbolize International Women’s Day?
Purple, green and white are the colors of International Women’s Day. Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolizes hope. White represents purity, albeit a controversial concept. The colors originated from the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the UK in 1908.
Who can support International Women’s Day?
International Women’s Day is not country, group, nor organization specific. No one government, NGO, charity, corporation, academic institution, women’s network, or media hub is solely responsible for International Women’s Day. The day belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist and activist once explained “The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist, nor to any one organization, but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.” So make International Women’s Day your day and do what you can to truly make a positive difference for women.
What’s does the IWD website aim to achieve?
The purpose of the International Women’s Day website is to support the supporters, and in doing so it provides a platform to help forge positive change for women.
Whether hosting an event, running a campaign, launching an initiative, reporting on achievement, donating to a female-focused charity, or more – there are many ways groups and individuals can mark International Women’s Day.
Three central beliefs underpin and guide the purpose and provisions of the International Women’s Day website:
- identifying, celebrating and increasing visibility of women’s achievements can help forge equality
- strategic collaborations based on a foundation of shared purpose, trust and appreciation can impact positive change for women
- worldwide awareness raising via meaningful narratives, resources and activity can help combat gender bias and discrimination to accelerate gender parity
To support worldwide activity, the International Women’s Day website provides:
- free guidance and resources
- a searchable IWD events database
- a platform for collaborative purpose-driven missions
- a hub showcasing the work of women creatives
- a speakers register for IWD event managers
- a women-owned business IWD supplier directory
- a fundraising channel for female-focused charities (100% direct to charity)
Do we still need an International Women’s Day?
Yes! There’s no place for complacency. According to the World Economic Forum, sadly none of us will see gender parity in our lifetimes, and nor likely will many of our children. Gender parity will not be attained for almost a century.
There’s urgent work to do – and we can all play a part.

(SportsNetwork.com) - Jered Weaver hasn't put himself in position to win a lot of games this season.
Even if he does on Friday night in the second contest of a four-game set with the Houston Astros, some recent bullpen issues by the Los Angeles Angels could still hinder the veteran picking up first victory of the season.
The Angels saw closer Huston Street blow a save chance for a second night in a row on Thursday, but unlike the previous night the offense could not bail him out and L.A. dropped a 3-2 decision.
Street failed to hold a one-run lead on Wednesday against Seattle, but Johnny Giavotella bailed out his closer with an RBI double in the bottom of the frame to secure a 4-3 victory. That was Los Angeles' second straight win and came a day after reliever Joe Smith allowed three runs in the eighth inning of an eventual 5-4 win over the Mariners.
The Angels were not as lucky last night. Handed a 2-0 lead, Street opened the ninth by giving up back-to-back singles before recording an out. However, Jake Marisnick and Preston Tucker followed with consecutive run-scoring singles and Jonathan Villar drew a walk to load the bases.
Jose Altuve then hit into a fielder's choice that scored a run as he beat out a potential double-play ball and the Angels went down in order in the bottom of the frame.
"Great win for us," Astros manager A. J. Hinch said. "We got quality at-bats in the end against their closer, and that's hard to do."
Luke Gregerson earned his seventh save of the season for the Astros, who snapped a three-game slide.
Street's blown save cost Hector Santiago a win after he gave up just one hit and four walks over 6 1/3 scoreless innings. He did commit two balks as well.
"He used his secondary pitches really well," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of his starter. "He gave us a chance to win, and unfortunately we couldn't hold on to it for him in the end."
Mike Trout hit a solo homer and Kole Calhoun added an RBI single for the Angels, who have lost five of seven.
Scioscia may need Weaver to be on point tonight, but the former AL All-Star is winless through his first six starts of the season for the first time in his career. He is 0-4 with a 6.29 earned run average.
Weaver lost his second start in a row on Sunday with a 5-0 setback to the San Francisco Giants. He yielded five runs on 10 hits, including two homers, over five innings and walked a batter for the first time in four starts.
The 32-year-old righty is 3-2 with a 2.95 ERA in six prior meetings with the Astros, getting a no-decision against them on April 17 despite six innings of two-run ball.
Getting the call tonight for the Astros will be 34-year-old veteran hurler Roberto Hernandez.
Hernandez is 1-2 with a 4.25 ERA, with his numbers taking a bit of a hit in Sunday's no-decision against Seattle. He allowed five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits and two walks over six innings, but the Astros ended up winning a 7-6 decision.
The righty has never beaten the Angels, going 0-4 with a save and 2.47 ERA in 14 career meetings, including 10 starts. He got a no-decision against them on April 17, charged with three runs on three hits and a walk over six innings.
The Astros won two of three over the Angels in Houston from April 17-19, but Los Angeles won eight of 10 at home in this series last season. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
North Korea is armed with "powerful modern weapons" capable of defeating the United States, a top military chief in Pyongyang said Wednesday amid increased speculation abroad about the nation's missile arsenal and nuclear ambitions.
Vice Marshal Ri Yong Ho emphasized the importance of strengthening the military to defend North Korea against threats it sees from the United States and South Korea. He called his nation a nuclear and military power and praised new leader Kim Jong Un, believed to be in his late 20s, as a "military strategist" who has been giving the army guidance for years.
"The Korean People's Army is armed with powerful modern weapons ... that can defeat the (U.S.) imperialists at a single blow," he told party and military officials, using familiar descriptions of the country's rivals.
The meeting, attended by Kim Jong Un, was held to mark the 80th anniversary of the army's founding. The Associated Press was among foreign news agencies based in Pyongyang allowed to observe the closed meeting at the April 25 House of Culture.
Ri, who is chief of the army's General Staff, did not provide further details about North Korea's weapons, but his call to arms comes as the United States, Britain and others warn the nation against a provocation that would further heighten tensions. The Korean peninsula officially remains at war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.
North Korea is believed to have some nuclear weapons but not the technology to put them on long-range missiles.
Earlier this month, North Korea launched a long-range rocket in what its officials called a failed attempt to put a satellite into space. The launch was decried internationally as a banned test of missile technology that also could be used to send an intercontinental ballistic missile topped with a nuclear warhead.
The rocket broke into pieces shortly after liftoff. But the U.N. Security Council later condemned the launch as a violation of resolutions prohibiting North Korea from engaging in nuclear and missile activity, and Washington halted a plan to provide Pyongyang with much-needed food aid in exchange for a moratorium on nuclear and missile tests.
On Monday, North Korea responded to U.S. and South Korean criticism with threats to reduce South Korean targets "to ashes" within minutes in a particularly sharp warning that followed days of protest rallies held nationwide.
There also are worries that North Korea may conduct a nuclear test, as it did after rocket launches in 2006 and 2009. South Korean intelligence officials say recent satellite images show the North has been digging a new tunnel in what could be preparation for a third atomic test.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned North Korea not to engage in any further provocation.
He told reporters in Brazil that he had no knowledge of any specific actions being planned by North Korea but said he would "strongly urge" the North to avoid any destabilizing acts. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Federal Triangle fuses a documentary approach to photography with the opportunity for alternative interpretations: simultaneously grounded in the real, and suggestive of the darker fantasies that pervade our political landscape.
The project, titled after a government complex wedged between the Capitol and the White House, is a series of brief encounters with the trappings of power. Men with earpieces gather on corners next to cars bearing diplomatic plates. Black Suburbans idle in the alleys behind Georgetown mansions. Gardeners receive security inspections before entering walled compounds.
Quotidian but intriguing, and sometimes darkly comical, these glimpses into the workings of our democracy gave rise to a range of questions. If you were prone to paranoid projections, what kinds of encounters might activate your darker conspiratorial fears and fantasies? What scenes and situations would evoke the paradoxical feeling of being close to yet far removed from the levers of power?
Federal Triangle engages these kinds of questions in pictorial terms. The photographs are deeply ambiguous: everyday scenes are tinged with the possibility of violence and conspiracy. Withholding more than they reveal, they invite projections that speak to the fear, doubt, dysfunction, and absurdity of our current moment.

Strange But True Laws
Most Americans have a general understanding of what constitutes a crime. However, there are a host of “strange but true” laws which exist in states, cities, and towns across America which may come as a shock to most people.

Although a neurosurgeon is known to treat the brain, their specialty extends way beyond it. Neurosurgery can provide treatment for many conditions related to the brain, spine, and nervous system.
What Is A Neurosurgeon?
A neurosurgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, spinal column, and the central and peripheral nervous system – including nerves that send various information and messages to and from the brain to all parts of the body. Neurology focuses on injuries, diseases, and disorders affecting the brain, spine, and nerves. A neurosurgeon can provide both non-surgical and surgical treatments, and the type of treatment right for you will depend on the nature and severity of your condition.
What Conditions Can A Neurosurgeon Treat?
Neurosurgeons are experts in all areas of brain, spine, and nerve disorders and conditions. They have extensive training and experience dealing with:
- Complex CNS tumors and cancers
- Aneurysms and vascular malformations
- Brain and spinal cysts
- Arteriovenous and cavernous malformation
- Traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries and rehabilitation
- Chiari malformation (hindbrain malformation)
- Cranial cavity and circulatory disorders
- Concussion injuries
- Deep brain stimulation (for Parkinson’s disease and tremors)
- Neck and back pain
- Spinal Stenosis
- Spinal cord compression
- Spinal fractures, injuries, and deformities
- Herniated discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Nerve conditions and disorders (such as sciatica and radiculopathy)
- Movement disorders
A neurosurgeon can help if you suffer with neck or back pain or a condition such as degenerative disc disease. They can create a progressive plan to diagnose and treat the cause of your condition and are highly skilled and knowledgeable in both conservative treatments and technologies and surgical procedures.
Type of Treatment
Depending on the specific medical condition you have and other factors concerning your diagnosis and overall health, a non-surgical or surgical treatment may be recommended. A neurosurgeon can perform many types of neurosurgical procedures, but they always try to use conservative treatments whenever possible, which may include:
- Physical therapy
- Lifestyle changes (such as weight loss or quitting smoking)
- Epidural injections
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery
If surgery is necessary, a neurosurgeon can perform many types of intracranial surgeries and minimally invasive spinal procedures for conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, spinal fractures, spondylolisthesis, and scoliosis. New advances in artificial disc implants also allow alternative treatments for patients suffering from chronic degenerative disc conditions and can reduce the risk of spinal fusion complications, such as limited range of motion.
Advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques are complex medical procedures utilizing very small, specialized surgical tools that can be inserted through incisions often less than a few centimeters wide. Surgeons also use an operating microscope, which provides light and magnification during the surgery and enables real-time x-ray images to be transmitted onto a screen in the operating room to guide the procedure. Benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:
- Shorter hospital stay
- Smaller incisions requiring fewer stiches
- Smaller scars
- Less pain
- Decreased blood loss
- Fewer complications and surgical risks, such as infection
- Quicker recovery and return to daily activities

Analysis from Shanghai-based DDMA Market Research & Consulting reveals that food safety scandals continue to have a significant impact on the grocery shopping behavior of wealthier households in China. Findings from a recent study reveal that affluent consumers are buying more imported foods and frozen products than ever before.
Initial results of the study, available at the DDMA website (www.ddm-asia.com), show that as consumer demand increases, import, distribution, sales and marketing systems are also evolving. Compared to a year ago, foreign food companies have much greater choice in terms of how they present and market themselves to Chinese consumers. More importantly, they can play a greater role in the marketing and communication of their brands, as much of the demand is coming from channels that are outside the realm of large scale, traditional food distributors in China.
Dumplings top the list of foods bought in a frozen form by rich and upwardly mobile Chinese households. Beef and fish are also significant categories purchased, and frozen prepared foods are taking market share from the fresh sector, according to DDMA.
Convenience and safety concerns are driving the growth in sales of frozen groceries in the PRC. Approximately 65% of wealthy households are reportedly buying more frozen food for home consumption than was the case one year ago. Almost 50% of all households have purchased frozen beef in the past month, while a large portion bought pre-prepared, pre-flavored beef. This also the trend for purchases of lamb, fish and, to a lesser extent, pork.
Much of DDMA’s China projects involve identifying suitable distribution and retail partners for foreign food companies in the PRC, as well as providing consumer insight for marketing strategy development. Over the past 12 months the research and consulting company has conducted numerous distribution and consumer studies for foreign food producers that are either entering the market or restructuring their Chinese operations. The largest structural change is the development of strong cold chain distribution networks.
In an increasingly competitive sector, DDMA has identified common characteristics that successful foreign food brands have in common. Future reports will focus particularly on essential elements of ingredient branding and how to best present the country of origin. The bottom line is that well positioned foreign food brands can attain a very steep premium at point of sale if presented in the right manner and format to wealthy Chinese customers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Traveling in Bear Country Precautions
Visiting Bear Country
American black bears, the most common bear species native to North America, are found throughout much of the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In the Sierra Nevada the black bear population is healthy and expanding, usually found between 3000 to 7000 feet where their natural foods are most abundant. While a vast majority of the population lives its entire lifespan without coming into contact with humans, others are not so fortunate.
Coexisting with humans has grown harder for black bears as more people come to the Sierra Nevada. Loss of suitable habitat in the lower elevations has forced bears upward, and many now suffer the long-lasting effects of human carelessness with food storage and garbage disposal.
Aided by a keen sense of smell and impressive dexterity, some black bears in the Sierra have learned to dine on food or garbage that people have left unsecured. Drawn to populated areas, these bears run a higher risk of being killed by motor vehicles, and those that become habituated to humans may begin to approach – or even bluff charge – people in the hopes of getting food. Tragically, when a bear becomes too aggressive, resource managers are forced to kill the bear.
Doing your part to protect black bears is simple. Follow the guidelines laid out on this website for storing your food and garbage when in the Sierra. Listen to local officials, read sign postings, and talk with other visitors to find out how to best protect black bears in the specific area you plan to visit. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Homeless people with a terminal illness are dying alone and in fear, MP Ed Davey has said, as he led calls to ensure people no longer die in cold and pain on the UK’s streets.
The former cabinet minister wants to introduce a new law, to ensure people receive proper care and can die with dignity, after they are diagnosed with less than 12 months to live.
MPs are set to debate his his Homelessness (End of Life Care) Bill in Parliament, next month, after Sir Ed introduced it to members of the House of Commons. He said: “Being homeless on the streets must be frightening. Cold. Lonely. Depressing. To be seriously ill, as well as homeless, seems to me to be beyond frightening.
“Yet homeless people are dying on Britain’s streets, in our parks, in doorways or, if they’re lucky, in ill-equipped hostels.”
Sir Ed is calling for changes in the law to prevent people from dying on the streets and alone in public places. Under current law, it can be difficult for people to secure the stable accommodation they need, if the local council deems they are “intentionally homeless.”
An automatic legal right
“Few people aim for that to be the intention,” said Sir Ed, who wants this condition to be scrapped as a deciding factor, when homeless people are diagnosed with less than 12 months to live.
He said that if a doctor certified that a homeless patient was not expected to live beyond 12 months, then that person should have an “automatic” legal right to the appropriate housing, care and support they need.
Under his proposed changes, doctors’ palliative care registers, rather than local authority assessments, would be the determining factor in the provision of stable housing and appropriate care.
Sir Ed also touched on the possibility of specialist hospice hostels, and training specialist NHS staff to care for people with addiction or other health issues that can add to the complexity of someone’s palliative care needs.
According to the charity Crisis which supports the homeless, the average homeless person’s age of death in the UK, is just 47 years old. It said that homeless women die at the average age of 43. The average age of death across the nation’s entire population is 77, with women living until the age of 80.
In January, Government figures revealed that 4,751 people were living rough on England’s streets last autumn – a 15 percent increase in the number of street sleepers in 2016.
“Bad death is being lonely”
Last summer, Charities Hospice UK and Marie Curie called for greater support for homeless people with a terminal illness and better access to care.
Welcoming the the Homelessness (End of Life Care) Bill, Hospice UK’s director of advocacy and change, Jonathan Ellis, told the Independent: “People who are homeless are currently poorly served when it comes to receiving quality care at the end of life as they often struggle to access services.
“Even when they do, their needs are not always understood or acted upon by health and care services.”
Urging fellow MPs to support the Homelessness (End of Life Care) Bill, Sir Ed described the prospect of a cold and painful death in a doorway, reading aloud the words of people living on the streets.
“Bad death is being lonely. No friends around you, when you’re passing away. Death is never really good but at least it would be better with friends around. You know, someone to hold your hand.”
Quoting another person, Sir Ed read: “End of life? What end of life are you talking about? I’m on the street and nobody cares about me.”
“Friends,” he concluded. “ Let’s support this bill. Let’s show we do care.”
The Homelessness (End of Life Care) Bill will have its second reading in Parliament on March 16. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The beginning of my free motion quilting journey wasn’t easy. I deciphered my first quilting books with a magnifying glass. One of the hardest things I had to figure out was how the free motion quilting foot works.
Now I ADORE free motion quilting. In 14 years I have made many projects: many were fun and easy but some were very challenging. I have learned a lot from my own mistakes.
Now you could learn from my mistakes too, but without stress and countless hours of trials.
I compiled EVERYTHING I know about free motion quilting into a free ebook.
There are many big and little things that make my free motion quilting easier and faster. And FUN too. And I am happy to share them all with you.
Why I love free motion quilting?
Who doesn’t love moving the quilt freely under the needle and stitching intricate motifs without too much effort? But free motion quilting is more than this. It also means less time spent quilting an area. Let’s see this example below.
I free motion quilted that big triangle in a few minutes, in one continuous stitching. Imagine the same triangle, in the center of a big quilt, quilted with straight lines and the walking foot. Imagine the time needed to rotate the whole quilt under the needle to stitch all those lines.
That’s why I love free motion quilting!
3 essential things for my progress in free motion quilting
These three things are the main reasons I enjoy free motion quilting so much.
1. Position of hands while free motion quilting
I don’t quilt with both hands on top of the quilt sandwich!
I keep on top only my left hand.I keep the right hand under the quilt. I use this hand to move the quilt.
I also use my left hand to move it around, but the right hand is mainly doing the job.
For me, this position of hands is much more comfortable. I move the quilt around without difficulty and with no pain in my shoulders. I don’t wear any type of gloves, I don’t need them.
2. I own two sewing machines
One of them is for piecing and straight quilting with the walking foot and the other machine is only for free motion quilting.
Why is this so important to me? It gives me much freedom and saves me a lot of time. I don’t spend time switching from one foot to another and I don’t bother adjusting thread tension!
3. The sewing machine used for free motion quilting is a dream!
This is an industrial machine. A huge quilt – 100” square, fits comfortably under its arm!
This machine (Jack Shirley) was one of my best investments in quilting. I bought it mainly for the large space under the arm, but it also has a few other great features.
You can see in the pictures below how much of a quilt block can fit under the arm of my domestic Pfaff (7”) and how much can fit under the Jack’s arm (10¼”). While the difference in inches is not so big, in reality, when quilting, this difference is HUGE!!!
This machine sews only straight stitches and my mechanic made some changes to it in order to attach a darning foot to it (borrowed from my Pfaff machine), you can see it in this picture.
I often receive messages asking what (longarm??) machine I use. So this is the one! Every time I sit down and quilt with it I am grateful to that wonderful man that recommended this machine to me ( for my Romanian friends- he works here!). This machine really changed my quilting life!
I don’t have enough words to recommend such robust machine to you (I saw Juki and Brother have similar models). You need a good mechanic able to make the changes.
One final thought
There is a fine line between LOVE and HATE when it comes to free motion quilting. Make yourself a big favor, save your sanity and your time: FIRST learn how your sewing machine works. It’s essential to learn how to adjust the thread tension.
Then find out what is the best team for your machine: the needle and thread! Then you will LOVE free motion quilting!
All about these and many other tips in this new free motion quilting ebook.

Products related to Research:
Does market research hinder innovation in business administration?
Market research does not necessarily hinder innovation in business administration. In fact, it can provide valuable insights into consumer needs and preferences, helping businesses to develop innovative products and services that meet market demands. By understanding market trends and customer behavior, businesses can identify opportunities for innovation and stay ahead of competitors. However, relying too heavily on market research without allowing room for creativity and risk-taking can limit the potential for groundbreaking innovations. It is important for businesses to strike a balance between leveraging market research and fostering a culture of innovation to drive success in business administration.
How could one structure a research paper on fashion?
A research paper on fashion could be structured in a way that includes an introduction that provides background information on the topic and states the research question. The paper could then include a literature review that summarizes existing research on fashion trends, consumer behavior, or the history of fashion. The methodology section would outline how the research was conducted, whether through surveys, interviews, or data analysis. The results section would present the findings of the research, followed by a discussion section that interprets the results and relates them back to the research question. Finally, the paper could conclude with a summary of the key findings and their implications for the field of fashion.
Are there any advancements or research in refrigeration technology?
Yes, there have been significant advancements and research in refrigeration technology in recent years. Some of the key areas of focus include improving energy efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and developing alternative refrigerants with lower global warming potential. Researchers are also exploring the use of advanced materials and technologies, such as magnetic refrigeration and thermoelectric cooling, to enhance the performance of refrigeration systems. Additionally, there is ongoing research into the integration of refrigeration systems with renewable energy sources to further reduce their carbon footprint. Overall, these advancements aim to make refrigeration technology more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
In which profession do people conduct research outdoors in nature?
People who work as field biologists, ecologists, environmental scientists, geologists, or botanists often conduct research outdoors in nature. These professionals study various aspects of the natural world, such as wildlife, ecosystems, geological formations, or plant life, by collecting data and observations directly from the field. Conducting research outdoors allows them to study the environment in its natural state and gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between living organisms and their surroundings.

What research approaches exist for faster-than-light travel?
There are several theoretical approaches to faster-than-light travel, but none have been proven to be feasible with current scientific understanding. Some of these approaches include the concept of wormholes, which are hypothetical shortcuts through spacetime, and the Alcubierre drive, which involves the manipulation of spacetime to create a "warp bubble" that allows for faster-than-light travel. Other approaches involve the use of exotic matter or negative energy to achieve the necessary conditions for faster-than-light travel. However, all of these approaches are purely theoretical at this point and would require significant advancements in our understanding of physics and technology to become a reality.

More than $50 billion from opioid settlement funds is being distributed across the United States by state councils, yet concerns are rising over the councils’ decisions on fund allocation due to questions of representation.
Decision makers: In 14 states, state councils have final say on how to use the money, while in 24 other states and Washington D.C., these councils establish budget priorities and make recommendations.
* Members of these councils vary from doctors, researchers, county health directors, law enforcement officers, business owners, to people in recovery and parents who have lost children due to addiction.
Potential bias: There are fears that overrepresentation of specific professional groups, issues with geographic representation, and lack of representation of those who have dealt with substance use disorder could affect spending decisions.
* For example, overrepresentation of law enforcement officers could lead to funds being directed towards purchases like squad cars and bulletproof vests, rather than towards harm reduction programs.
The impact: More than $3 billion of opioid settlement funds has already been landed in government coffers, meant to provide restitution for communities hard-hit by the opioid epidemic.
* Decisions on how to allocate these funds can range from immediate solutions such as buying overdose reversal medication, to longer-term investments to increase staffing and treatment beds.
Challenges on representation: The concerns extend to population representation as well, especially among states hardest hit by the opioid epidemic.
* For instance, in Louisiana, where nearly a third of the population is Black, no Black council members are present, and in Ohio, where Black residents have the highest rates of overdose death, only one of the 29 council members is Black.
* Similarly, lack of council members with first-hand experience of addiction is raised as a concern in several states.
Room for controversy: Situations have also arisen where organizations associated with council members pursued or have been awarded funding, hence prompting more calls for comprehensive conflict-of-interest policies.
* For instance, in South Carolina and New York, conflict-of-interest policies require members to disclose professional and financial connections, and prevent council members from using their positions for financial gain.

Den Norske Bank (DnB), which has somehow escaped repeatedly from the consolidation of the Scandinavian banking industry, has had its NOK 1.05 billion takeover bid for Nordlandsbanken recommended by the board of the Northern Norway bank.
The acquired bank will remain headquartered in Bod. The Nordlandsbanken brand will also be maintained -as Den norske has with previous acquisitions, Postbanken and Vital – and Bod will be made a financial services centre, offering a trading desk for equities, bonds and capital market instruments. Some customer-related functions in Nordlandsbanken currently based in Oslo will also be moved to Bod.
There is not much overlap in terms of branches.However, there will be economies. The banks’ offices in Bod, Troms, Mo and Sortland will be merged, while Nordlandsbanken’s Oslo operations will be folded into those of DnB. Annual cost synergies of just over NOK 100 million before taxes have been identified, deriving in part from transferring operations in the new regional bank to the DnB Group’s platforms.
“The merging of the operations of Nordlandsbanken and Den Norske Bank in Northern Norway will create a financial services organisation which will play a key role for businesses, households and public sector entities throughout the region,” says the board chairman in Nordlandsbanken, Ivar Jrgensen.
“Our strategic goal is to be the customers’ best financial partner, and Nordlandsbanken’s customers will be offered a wider range of products and services. Customer relationships will be maintained and supported locally,” adds Svein Aaser, group chief executive in DnB. “We wish to make Bod a financial stronghold backed by Norway’s largest financial services group. Also, we would like Nordlandsbanken to maintain its role as a strategic investor in the business community in Northern Norway.”
Nordlandsbanken has already announced loan-loss provisions of NOK 804 million, most of iot incurred on loan losses to the Norwegian debt collecting firm, Finance Credit Group, and to fish farmers and offshore oil and gas companies. Based on its current guidelines for credit and loan-loss provisions, DnB has estimated additional loan-loss provisions of around NOK 700 million on top of this figure.
DnB says the acquisition will increase earnings per share from this year. The DnB Group’s pro forma core capital ratio will be around 7.6 per cent based on figures as at 30 September 2002 adjusted for loan-loss provisions, revaluations and including 50 per cent of profits for the period. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Welcome to Global Missions Institute
We thank God for you and your interest in increasing your spiritual knowledge. Spiritual knowledge is divine power, for the “Word of God is alive and powerful” (Heb. 4:12). To know God is to know what He says in the Holy Bible. Let us help you choose the right course for you. This program is divided into two groups, NON-CERTIFICATE and CERTIFICATE/DIPLOMA.
In a non-certificate program, the courses are the same as in a certificate courses, except that you will not be graded and will not earn any credits. You will simply increase your knowledge of God through His Word, so that you can have a closer relationship with Him and serve Him with knowledge. You will learn at your own pace and choose any course that you have interest in, for instance a course in Bible Study Methods, an Introduction of how to study the Bible.
a. CERTIFICATE: A 20-course certificate program which will prepare one for a successful ministry. A student’s course work is supervised, and he earns credit toward receiving a certificate of completion at the end of his course work (usually 2 years or less depending on one’s effort and time).
b. DIPLOMA: A student who receives a certificate of completion with a B average or above will be eligible to apply for a scholarship to our affiliate Colorado Bible University (CBU) an accredited institution. Upon acceptance, a portion of your GMI coursework will transfer as credit to CBU toward a diploma.
Because of the costs associated with your learning, GMI has a limited cost-based enrollment for those seeking a certificate or a diploma. Although students are not charged for their education, GMI covers the cost for each student. To be better stewards of God’s money, we recommend those not seeking a certificate or diploma enroll in a non-certificate program making funds available to cover costs for certificate seeking students. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I remember my life before coming to Global Ties Arkansas. It was a life I loved, though not the life I have come to love. I began my career as an Early Childhood educator. I always found myself motivated by the lives of children around me to improve the world through education. I worked for the government funded Head Start Program and the Public Schools in Norman, Oklahoma as a teacher of children ages 4 to first grade.
In 1988, I was privileged to be a part of an innovative Early Childhood Special Education Pre-K classroom in Clayton, New Mexico. The district wanted to be a leader in the state before the federal mandate for public schools regarding young children with disabilities became law in 1990. I had the freedom to create the classroom, best practices, and establish the small town of Clayton as a model for other programs in New Mexico and nationally. This program was nationally recognized by The Ohio State University in a national study. My involvement with the Clayton program led me to a position as the first Director of a nine-school district cooperative in Richland County, Ohio. Luckily, my husband Jim (who had owned a successful construction company in Oklahoma for years) had accepted a position in the Construction Management Department of The Ohio State University. As a result, I was able to accept this new challenge! I worked with these classrooms for several years before branching out into yet another endeavor. I took the position as the department head of early childhood programs at a small college in Ohio; my job was to train other prospective teachers.
Although Jim and I raised our children in Oklahoma and Ohio, another great adventure was written in the stars. Jim accepted a position at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I continued my early childhood practice as an evaluator and mentor through Arkansas State University for state funded early childhood programs and became an adjunct professor at UA-Pulaski Tech.
While attending a function at the Clinton Presidential Center, I was honored to meet an amazing man, Dr. Walter Nunn. He spoke of the work he had been doing with international visitors through the US Department of State. His descriptions were filled with intrigue, adventure, and transnational cooperation. He spoke highly of the professionals he worked with from our local and other international communities. Jim and I exchanged glances followed by an “Okay, Jim. What do you think?” There is one thing that we have always shared and that is our love for international travel. What better way to interact with other cultures than to work as a volunteer with this group?”
We were hooked! Jim and I provided home stays for weeklong visitors and hosted more than our share of dinners and parties for short term visitors. After I stopped working full time, I called Dr. Nunn and said that I could expand my volunteering. He put me to work right away planning a week-long program for Iraqi youth. And so, it began…
After a few years of working as a part time staff writing itineraries for programs, Dr. Nunn came to me to say that he was ready to retire and wanted me to take his place. Of course, I told him NO! I had worked for years in administration and was just ready for the fun part! Obviously, he won that battle and I was interviewed with the Board and accepted the position as Director. That was about 8 years ago, and it was a great choice! This job means so much to me.
At first, I felt like I had deserted my first passion of education. But over time, I have come to realize that being a citizen diplomat is one of the most important education jobs I have ever held. I have learned so much about other cultures and have tried to convey what it is like to be an American to so many visitors. Arkansas is what we call “real America”. We are so similar to our visitors in so many ways. Introducing visitors to regular people who have similar concerns: family, finances, government and so on, and making them realize that we are pretty good folks is one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of my education career! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
tldr: I have two MA2500D units, one connected to the router and one to a computer, the units see each other, I get a ping out of the network but loading a web page doesn't work. Only elements to our network I found apart from cables are as shown on the picture below and they are probably not MoCA compatible. Please help me buy what I need to get it working.
I would like to ask for your help. I have purchased two MA2500D units and was hoping everything will work out. After installing the units router - unit - coax network - unit PC the units see each other, but MoCA rates as shown on the second picture are about 30% of the supposed 2.5G connection. I can ping outside of the network on my PC, but any website doesn't load.
After checking where all the coax connections lead to I have found this beauty as shown on the first picture, which I have no idea what the purpose of is. We do not use and the network wasn't used for a long time so there is no one who knows how the network is constructed and the such.
I would like to renovate the network so we can use the moca adapters so we have cable internet in other parts of the house as well and ideally to not have to run an ethernet cable through somewhere where my wife would see. I have tried running Powerline adapters but unfortunately that makes around 20/25 Mbits from 250/100 Mbits which isn't ideal.
I am happy supplying more photos if needed, though the metal boxes have no inscriptions on them. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Help us raise €5k for The Down Syndrome Centre Cork!
One of the core values of Legacy Communications is ‘Be Sound’ and looking out for each other is at the heart of our culture.
In October 2021 Legacy’s Mícheál Brennan and his wife Sarah welcomed their beautiful daughter Leah into the world. Leah was born with Down Syndrome and her smile alone has filled the hearts of Mícheál, Sarah and her two brothers Shay and Aaron.

Top High-Intent PPC Keywords to Bring Customers to Your Auto Repair Shop
When it comes to PPC advertising for car repair leads, selecting the right keywords is one of the most important factors for success. High-intent PPC keywords are those that indicate the user is ready to take action, making them highly valuable for driving conversions. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the top high-intent keywords for automotive repair shops and how to use them effectively in your PPC campaigns to increase auto repair leads and make your phone ring.
What Are High-Intent Keywords?
High-intent PPC keywords are search terms that suggest the user is actively seeking a service and is likely to take immediate action. For auto repair shops, examples of high-intent keywords include “car repair near me,” “brake repair today,” and “oil change services.” These keywords indicate that the user has an immediate need and is looking for a solution, making them ideal for generating phone call conversions for auto services.
Identifying High-Intent Keywords for Your Campaign
To identify the best high-intent keywords for your PPC advertising campaign, start by thinking about the specific services your shop provides and the types of searches potential customers might use when they need those services. For example, if you specialize in brake repair, keywords like “brake service near me” or “emergency brake repair” are likely to attract users who are ready to schedule a repair. You can use tools like Google Keyword Planner to find related keywords and assess their search volume and competition level.
It’s also important to use negative keywords to filter out searches that are not relevant to your services. For example, if you don’t offer bodywork services, you can add terms like “auto body repair” as negative keywords to ensure your ads are only shown for relevant searches.
Creating Ad Copy That Matches User Intent
Once you’ve identified your high-intent keywords, it’s important to create ad copy that matches the user’s intent. If someone is searching for “oil change near me,” your ad should clearly state that you offer oil change services and provide a call to action such as “Call now to book your oil change appointment.” By aligning your ad copy with the keywords, you can increase the relevance of your ads and improve your click-through rate (CTR).
Using Call-Only Ads for High-Intent Keywords
For keywords that indicate an immediate need, call-only ads for car repair can be highly effective. These ads allow users to call your shop directly from their mobile device, making it easy for them to take action. Call-only ads are particularly useful for high-intent keywords because they encourage users to contact your shop right away, leading to more phone calls and booked appointments.
Optimizing Bids for High-Intent Keywords
High-intent keywords can sometimes be more competitive, which means they may have a higher cost-per-click (CPC). However, because these keywords are more likely to lead to conversions, they can still provide a good return on investment. To get the best results, consider using a target CPA (cost per acquisition) bidding strategy to ensure you’re getting the most value from your ad spend. Regularly monitoring your campaign performance and adjusting bids based on keyword performance can help you optimize PPC campaigns for auto repair.
Selecting the right high-intent PPC keywords is crucial for running a successful PPC advertising campaign for your auto repair shop. By focusing on keywords that indicate immediate need, creating relevant ad copy, and using call-only ads, you can attract potential customers who are ready to take action. With the right keyword strategy in place, you can increase auto repair leads, drive more phone calls, and grow your business. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Gold can move in range of 30270-30730 while silver can move in range of 41000-42000 in near term. Gold futures finished higher on Tuesday as investors sought the relative safety of haven assets ahead of next week’s “Brexit” referendum and a tandem of closely watched central-bank meetings.

Trade park to benefit from £2.18 million loan.
A new trade park in Livingston which will help businesses grow and create jobs is to benefit from £2.18 million of public investment.
The loan, financed from the £150 million Building Scotland Fund, is being delivered through the Scottish Partnership for Regeneration in Urban Centres fund. It will be used to help speculatively develop 40,000 square feet of new industrial and trade counter accommodation at Livingston Trade Park on Houstoun Industrial Estate, leading to further business investment and jobs in West Lothian.
Announcing the funding on a visit to the site, which is due for completion in October 2019, Investment Minister Ivan McKee said:
“I am pleased the Building Scotland Fund has been able to support this development, which will help stimulate the local economy and bring more investment to the area. The £2.18 million loan will deliver opportunities for businesses to create new jobs and encourage more investment to grow the local economy.”
Mike Walker, Development Director at Chancerygate , the industrial developer delivering the project, said:
“We have an established reputation for seeking out and realising untapped potential when it comes to industrial developments. Our investment in creating Livingston Trade Park is a great example of this approach and it is driving our continued success and ongoing growth strategy. We are developing speculatively in Livingston because we are confident there will be strong demand for our units, particularly as there have been very few new build industrial property opportunities in the area for years.”
Cameron Cook, Head of Origination for Amber Infrastructure in Scotland, the company which manages the SPRUCE fund , said:
“The SPRUCE Fund is delighted to have reached financial close on this important project, providing much-needed world-class leading industrial and logistics space into the West Lothian market. We look forward to working closely with Chancerygate to ensure the success of the Livingston Trade Park project over the coming years.”
The project, which is being delivered by Chancerygate , will receive a £2.18m loan from the SPRUCE Fund, managed by Amber Infrastructure, using finance committed to SPRUCE by the Building Scotland Fund, the pre-cursor to the Scottish National Investment Bank.

Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE), a type of alcohol related brain damage (ARBD), is a serious medical emergency caused by thiamine depletion to the brain.2,3
When treated inadequately:
- Up to 20% will die.4,5
- 56%-84% develop the irreversible symptoms of Korsakoff’s Syndrome (KS).6
- 25% of cases will result in long term institutional care.6
When patients present with suspected or established WE, it is not possible to predict the full extent of thiamine depletion, or how far along the path to irreversible brain damage they are.
- Only a short window of opportunity exists to reverse the neurological effects that can lead to the permanent brain damage and cognitive decline of KS.7 | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Israel Informed Consent Forms, Standard Texts
Israel has become an important center for conducting multinational clinical trials, with major pharmaceutical companies sponsoring studies in Israel’s advanced medical facilities. Israel has become an attractive venue for conducting clinical studies due to the high-quality medical professionals and leading academics.
Indeed, there are several factors that make Israel an attractive location for multinational clinical trials.
- Highly skilled professionals: Israel has a pool of highly educated and skilled healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, researchers, and other medical staff. The quality of medical training and education in Israel is recognized globally. Many of these professionals have been trained in some of the best institutions in the world and have extensive experience in their respective fields.
- Advanced medical facilities: Israel is home to some of the world’s most advanced medical facilities, equipped with state-of-the-art technologies. These facilities are capable of facilitating clinical trials of various types and sizes.
- Culturally diverse population: Israel has a culturally diverse population which is a significant advantage in clinical trials. It allows for testing on a wide range of genetic backgrounds, increasing the robustness and generalizability of the results.
- Modernized regulatory environment: Israel has a modern regulatory framework that aligns with international standards and guidelines, which provides transparency and predictability for pharmaceutical companies. The Israeli Ministry of Health and the Helsinki Committee (which approves medical human trials) have strict ethical guidelines that must be adhered to, ensuring the safety of participants and the integrity of the study.
- Presence of global CROs: Major global Contract Research Organizations (CROs) have a presence in Israel. These CROs provide a wide range of services that are essential for conducting clinical trials, including project management, clinical monitoring, data management, statistical analysis, and regulatory support.
- Supportive government policies: The Israeli government has implemented policies that encourage research and development, making it an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies. These policies include tax incentives, funding opportunities, and a supportive infrastructure for clinical research.
- Quick turnaround times: In many cases, Israel has faster regulatory approval times compared to other countries. This can make it a more attractive location for companies that are looking to start their trials as soon as possible.
Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with the Public Health Regulations (Clinical Trials in Human Subjects) of 1980. The following excerpt from these regulations pertains specifically to informed consent forms.
An informed consent form should contain a summary of the information given to the participant about the clinical trial, pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5 below, provided that all the information considered declarative is recorded in detail. The form should be written in standard language which is clear, lucid and understandable to any person and in the language of the participant, where possible.
Informed consent form (Form 2A for clinical trials of investigational products and for single patient access to investigational treatment; Form 2B for genetic trials; Form 2C for clinical trials not involving an investigational product; Form 3, a parent/guardian informed consent
form for clinical trials in which participants are minors/wards/legal incompetents. Form 3A, 3B and 3C for trials of investigational products, genetic trials and trials not involving investigational products, respectively. In an application for a trial that involves both adults and minors/wards/legal incompetents, the appropriate consent forms should be attached to the application documents).
For clinical trials conducted in Israel, Informed Consent Forms are usually translated into Russian and Arabic. This is due to the large Russian- and Arabic-speaking populations in Israel. It is sometimes also translated to English.
The most common Informed Consent Form is Form 2A (for clinical trials of investigational products and for single patient access to investigational treatment). There are about 600 words of standard text in these forms. As a service to our clients, we are making available translations of the standard Hebrew texts in Arabic and in Russian.

Guava & Gold Featured: Great British Brands
One of the proudest moments in the Guava & Gold story so far has got to be the feature we have in Country and Townhouse’s iconic book, Great British Brands 2020, which is dedicated to looking forward with #optimism.
Great British Brands is Country & Townhouse’s annual digest of what and who is hot in the world of British luxury, the brands that have caught their attention and who brings the luxury landscape to life. So, for Guava & Gold to be included amongst some of the most exclusive and best-known names in premium British lifestyle brands has been a real highlight and a huge honour and privilege.
The Country & Townhouse brand itself is designed to appeal to “double lifers” who enjoy the best of what countryside and city living have to offer. This resonates with us as it matches the sense of escapism that Guava & Gold is seeking to capture. Whether paradise comes in the form of our Coral Beach Bath and Shower Gel or you enjoy our indulgent Paradise Found Body Lotion, then our products can provide a moment of escape.
On 27th January, a host of big names from the British luxury industry turned out to celebrate the launch of the book at Annabel’s, the exclusive private members’ club in Mayfair, and we were so thrilled to be there.
The stunning couture dress featured on the 2020 Great British Brands cover, designed by @viviennewestwood and @ndreaskronthaler and worn by @coracorre, was there for everyone to see and auctioned in aid of HaKa, an NGO founded by grassroots activist Farwiza Farhan to conserve, protect and restore the Leuser Ecosystem, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Indonesia. It is the last place on earth where elephants, rhinos, orangutans and tigers still roam together.
This was definitely an evening to remember!

Donald Trump: No Guns for Americans on the Terrorist Watch List
Donald Trump doesn’t read TTAG. If the aspiring Commander-in-Chief read our post Here’s Why People on the “No Fly List” Should Be Able to Buy Guns, for example, he could’ve defended firearms freedom against the latest “common sense” assault on our gun rights. Then again, who am I kidding? Donald Trump is a populist. While he talks a good game on gun rights – now – his command of the facts on this or any other issue is tenuous. Actually, it’s worse than that. Check out this answer to George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week. . . .
If we have an enemy of state, I don’t want to give him anything. I want to have him in jail, that’s what I want. I want to have him in jail. But if those people in Paris had guns in that room, it would have been a shootout and very few people would have been hurt by comparison to the number that were hurt . . .
If somebody is on a watch list and an enemy of state and we know it’s an enemy of state. I would keep them away, absolutely.
Once again, we commend Mr. Trump for defending our natural, civil and Constitutional right to defend ourselves by force of arms. [Full text of the interchange here.] And I couldn’t agree more with the Donald: if there’s sufficient evidence that an American or foreign national is a terrorist, they should be arrested, prosecuted and jailed. Access-to-guns problem solved.
But big ol’ brickbats for Trump for thinking it’s OK for unnamed, unaccountable bureaucrats to deem someone an “enemy of state” and then deny them their gun rights. Could that “No Guns for Enemies of the State” list include you, an average law-abiding gun owner who might just belong to the NRA? In a Clinton administration, sure! Why not? Liberals have already classified the NRA as a terrorist organization.
So who set ABC straight on the Trojan horse nature of anti-gun rights Senator Diane Feinstein’s attempt to “code terrorist loophole”? Why Dr. Ben “I Almost Hit My Mother in the Head with a Hammer” Carson, of course! CNN reports:
Carson said later on the same show that he’s concerned that “there are a lot of people on that watch list and they have no idea why they’re on that list and they’ve been trying to get their names off of it, and no one will give them information.”
“I am a big supporter of the Second Amendment, and I don’t want to deprive people unnecessarily of that. There needs to be better due process,” Carson said.
My man! As for the rest of the GOP pack, New Jersey Governor Chris “Prosecutor Prosecuting Prosecutorially” Christie wimped out. “I think these are state-by-state determinations, and they should be made state by state.” Ohio Gov. John Kasich pleaded ignorance on NBC’s Meet the Press. “First I’ve ever heard of it,” he demurred. And then added. “If we want to examine people who are on terrorist watch lists and not let them buy a gun, I mean, it’s something that ought to be considered.”
What does the Cruz say? The burning Bush? I can’t find those answers just now. But it would be most instructive, would it not? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (MLI)
The MLI group – established at HITS in September 2022 – works on novel algorithms and models for data-efficient learning, geometric deep learning, and interpretability.
Data-efficient learning enables to take an existing model, e.g. that was trained on a big standard dataset, and adapt this model to a novel application. The dataset of the new domain that is used for fine-tuning the model then can be much smaller than it would have to be without pre-training. This reduces the time and resources needed for collecting training data and enables the use of machine learning approaches in application areas which so far could not benefit from this technology.
A particular research focus of the group is in developing data-efficient methods with improved generalization properties, which reduce the expected error of the fine-tuned model in practice. This is achieved by combining insights from learning theory with methods from convex and non-convex optimization.
Another research focus is on learning of interpretable representations, with the goal to make models interpretable and therefore enable a better understanding of the underlying principles, and to discover generative factors in data. Some of these methods enable to reconstruct causal relationships from observed data with exciting applications especially in the natural sciences. For this the group applies and extends methods from variational inference, statistical methods for independent component analysis, and graph-neural-networks.
We have several PhD and postdoc positions available. Please apply using our career website. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The VRMark preview is a taste of what to expect from the full release, coming soon. Scene 1 is designed for the Oculus Rift minimum spec. Scene 2 requires more powerful hardware. The preview does not produce a benchmark score. For more details about VRMark, please visit our website:
3DMark grows bigger every year with new tests. Since launch, we’ve added Fire Strike Ultra, Sky Diver, and the API Overhead feature test. With more tests coming soon, we’ve created a new UI for 2016 that’s faster, more flexible, and easier to use.
The new Home screen shows the recommended benchmark for your system. No more guessing which benchmark is right for your PC. You can run other tests from the Benchmarks screen.
More flexibility, faster downloads, smaller updates
We’ve also rebuilt the internal framework of the 3DMark app. On Steam, you can now install and update individual benchmark tests independently. This makes the initial download much smaller. And it means you can choose to install only the tests you need.
We’ve also enabled the ability to update tests individually in the standalone 3DMark Advanced Edition. Say goodbye to massive downloads with every update.
You can now install benchmarks individually in the Steam version of 3DMark.

Bridging the Network Divide
Cork now connected to Paris via the new GÉANT network project
GÉANT’s network connects HEAnet to its fellow NRENs (National Research and Education Networks) in Europe and beyond as well as carrying a significant percentage of HEAnet’s general Internet traffic. Previously HEAnet has connected to GÉANT at two locations in Dublin. As a result of a tender for international fibre conducted by GÉANT in 2022 (part of the GN4-3N major network refresh), one of those connections has been moved to Cork, specifically the Cork Internet Exchange (CIX) data centre. The tender resulted in the award of two spectrum services from Dublin to London and Cork to Paris with HEAnet to provide the spectrum service between Dublin and Cork. This move provides both GÉANT and HEAnet with greater geographical resilience.
To facilitate this move, HEAnet has extended its own national fibre network, including installing a new fibre node in CIX, to provide the managed spectrum link to GÉANT between Dublin and Cork. From Dublin and Cork, commercial undersea fibre connections continue the connection (via the UK) towards the core European GÉANT network. This project has involved a high degree of co-operation between the HEAnet and GÉANT planning and operational teams, with the HEAnet network upgrades co-funded by GÉANT. The project is expected to be completed in Q3, 2023.
NREN partners and their research and education communities have seen a 30% increase in traffic per annum in the past five years. The GN4-3N project is helping to narrow the digital divide while stimulating the market in cross-border communications.
The GÉANT project was co-funded by the EU and Europe’s NRENs in January 2019 with a budget of €50.5 million and an expected duration of 48 months. Due to delays caused by the covid pandemic the project has been delayed but has been completed under budget. The GN4 Phase 3 Network project (GN4-3N) will contribute to fiber network capabilities extended well beyond its current reach, while improving the underlying structure and backbone network of GÉANT infrastructure.
Built around dark fiber services using 15-year Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU’s), managed spectrum, leased lines and associated equipment the next-generation network is designed to support an anticipated 30% annual increases in network traffic whilst utilizing both new technologies and new opportunities presented by a changing landscape.
“As part of the GN4-3N project, we worked closely with our colleagues in HEAnet to further extend the reach of the network from Dublin into Cork, thereby creating a ring from London to Manchester to Dublin, then to Cork and on to Paris via the London2 PoP. Not only does this increased resilience benefit HEAnet’s customers but also the wider R&E community who need access to resources in Ireland.” – Toby Rodwell, Head of Service Management, GÉANT. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Cathy, Dorothy, and I have been putting together puzzles lately. The first one we’ve done recently was started at the beach over the summer but wasn’t completed. We rolled it up then and it’s been in that state since then. We finished that a while back and put out this as our next. I was pretty challenging. Nevertheless, we made continual progress on it and finally finished it this evening. It’s a 1,000 piece puzzle.
Our family is in the “you don’t look at the box” camp. Yes, that makes the puzzle somewhat harder (and sometimes considerably harder). But it also gives more satisfaction and gratification when the puzzle is eventually completed. I know we were all pretty pleased with ourselves when we finished this one. We have put it away and put out our next one, which promises to be at least as hard. It’s also larger, with 1,500 pieces. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Arizona, like Montreal, is counting on youth to revive its organization, while the core of these teams is mostly composed of young players. Both franchises want to build a culture and a winning team for the long term.
Coyotes head coach André Tourigny spoke about the reality of losing key players to future players.
We can easily draw a similar conclusion with the situation of Martin St-Louis, who had to deal with trades that affected his team last year and could happen again this year.
Also, both teams should find themselves, again this season, in the middle of the battles to get the best probabilities for the Connor Bedard lottery.
If a parallel can be drawn between the two organizations, who has the best elements to build the best team in the years to come?
On the one hand, the Coyotes already have some interesting pieces for the future of the organization in their lineup, such as Clayton Keller, Nick Schmaltz, Lawson Crouse, Dylan Guenther and Janis Jerome Moser.
Their prospect bank is pretty well stocked with the likes of Logan Cooley, Conor Geekie, Maveric Lamoureux, Victor Soderstrom, Josh Doan, Julian Lutz, Ilya Fedotov, Artem Duda, etc. In addition, they currently have three first round picks and eight second round picks in the next three drafts. Not to mention, what a deal involving Jakob Chychrun could bring.
The Canadiens can count on an interesting pool of prospects including Justin Barron, Joshua Roy, Logan Mailloux, Filip Mesar, Owen Beck, Sean Farrell, Lane Hutson, Riley Kidney, etc. Also, the Habs have five first round picks and three second round picks in the three upcoming drafts.

Music, the universal language that resonates deep within our souls, has the power to evoke emotions, create memories, and weave stories. For pianists, their instrument is not just a collection of keys and strings; it is an extension of their being, a vessel through which they express their innermost thoughts and feelings. When it comes to pianos, the journey often begins with a question: new or used? In this melodic exploration, we unravel the worth of used pianos in a pianist’s life, guiding you on how to choose the perfect one and what to look for before bringing it into your world.
The Emotional Worth of Used Pianos:
Imagine a piano that has witnessed decades of melodies, each keystroke embedding a piece of history within its wooden frame. Used pianos, like wise elders, carry the whispers of the past, the dreams of previous owners, and the tunes that once filled the room. When pianists lay their hands on these keys, they inherit this legacy, becoming a part of something larger than themselves. There’s a certain depth, a character that used pianos possess, making the music played on them resonate with a unique charm, bridging the gap between the past and the present.
Let’s face it; pianos, especially high-quality ones, can be quite expensive. Investing in a used piano is a testament to financial prudence. For budding pianists, students, or even seasoned professionals, opting for a used piano allows them to access superior craftsmanship and exceptional sound quality without burning a hole in their pockets. This financial flexibility enables pianists to focus on what truly matters – honing their skills and creating beautiful music.
How to Choose the Perfect Used Piano:
- Research: Knowledge is your best companion when choosing a used piano. Research various piano brands, models, and their market value. Understand the different types of pianos, such as grand, upright, or digital, and determine which one suits your needs and space.
- Inspect the Exterior: Examine the piano’s exterior carefully. Look for signs of wear, scratches, or dents. While a little wear is natural for used instruments, excessive damage might indicate neglect.
- Check the Sound: The sound is the heart of any piano. Play each key, evaluating the tone, resonance, and clarity. Listen for any unusual buzzing or rattling sounds. A well-maintained piano will produce a rich, harmonious sound.
- Inspect the Interior: If possible, have a technician inspect the piano internally. They can assess the condition of the soundboard, strings, hammers, and other crucial components. A piano with well-maintained internal parts will require fewer repairs in the long run.
- Consider the Age: While age can add character to a piano, balancing it with functionality is essential. Older pianos may require more frequent maintenance. Choose a piano that strikes a balance between its age and how well it has been cared for.
- Ask for the Piano’s History: Inquire about the piano’s history. Has it been regularly tuned and maintained? Has it undergone any significant repairs? A transparent history will give you valuable insights into the piano’s condition.
- Trust Your Instincts: Lastly, trust your instincts and how the piano makes you feel. A piano should resonate not only with beautiful notes but also with your soul. If it feels right, it probably is.
In the realm of music, a piano is not merely an object; it’s a companion, a confidant, and a source of endless inspiration. Used pianos, with their rich history and affordable price tags, hold immeasurable worth in a pianist’s life. They carry the essence of countless melodies, waiting for skilled hands to breathe life into them once more.
When choosing a used piano, remember that it’s not just a transaction; it’s a union of two souls – the pianist and the instrument. Together, they embark on a melodic journey, creating harmonies that echo through time. So, whether you are a beginner seeking your first piano or a seasoned pianist looking for a new muse, let the worth of used pianos serenade you, and may your musical voyage be as soulful as the tunes you create. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Georgia Appeals Court Upholds Summary Judgment in Gas Fire Injury Case
July 9, 2021 (Atlanta, GA) – The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment in favor of Hawkins Parnell & Young's client, a fire suppression equipment company in Georgia. Frank Bedinger obtained the summary judgment in the trial court and teamed up with Bryan Grantham to preserve the victory after the plaintiff appealed.
This case arose from a kitchen fire in a south Georgia church with a fire prevention system maintained by the client. The plaintiff, a volunteer cook at the church, suffered burn injuries from a gas fire while igniting the stove pilot light. The fire was due to an improperly capped gas line from when the church upgraded the deep fryer to a large stove. The plaintiff claims that Hawkins Parnell's client should have noted the issue during an inspection of its systems.
Frank and Bryan successfully argued that the defendant had no duty to inspect other kitchen equipment. They also showed that even if the client examined other equipment, it would have been outside their expertise and could not be liable for the injuries. Both the trial court and appeals court agreed with the defense presented by Hawkins Parnell. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The DBS Bank survey of 1,000 Singaporeans and Permanent Residents showed that:
- 75% are not following any financial plan for retirement needs
- Many do not even know where or how to start planning
- 24% of the respondents felt that financial products are barriers to financial planning
- 23% felt they do not have enough funds to start investing
- People underestimate the funds they need for retirement
The DBS Bank survey is not surprising to me. But the underlying issue that people are not planning for retirement is not because they do not know how to start or their existing funds are too small to start investing. These are mere excuses. The following are reasons why people are not planning:
- Many people cannot be bothered and they procrastinate.
- Since financial planning is a long-term exercise, people are more keen to look at the immediate needs like finding the cheapest way to travel every year or purchase the latest gadgets like iPhone. There is a preference for “instant gratification”.
- Lack of access to expert advice because of refusal to pay professional fees. According to MAS survey, 80% are not prepared to pay for financial advice.
So, what is a financial plan? A financial plan is:
- A written plan.
- Usually written by a Certified Financial Planner or a Chartered Financial Consultant.
- The financial plan has to be updated periodically and whenever there are significant changes to one’s financial situation.
The following is not a financial plan:
- Purchasing products
- Attending seminars
- Reading newspaper articles on investments / financial matters
It must be noted that a financial plan is merely a means to an end. A medical report does not cure the patient’s illness. It is the effective medical treatment that will cure the patient. Similarly, the written financial plan does not solve one’s retirement problems. It is the effective implementation and monitoring of the implementation that is more important.

I could never live in a city, but if I had to it would probably be Edinburgh. Not for any cosmopolitan character to the street life or the claustrophobia-allaying breadth of those Georgian streets, but because it’s a city you can escape at any moment. In your head, at least.
Looming over almost every part is Arthur’s Seat, which Robert Louis Stevenson judged a hill in size, but “a mountain in virtue of its bold design”. It’s this eternally reassuring presence in Edinburgh’s civic space that puts me at ease. The volcanic plug creates a sense of a natural landscape and near-tranquillity, despite the encircling thrum from over 540,000 people.
It may be enmeshed in human ideas – such as the Camelot connotations of the name – but physically it carries deeper, rich links to the wild. There are the seismic trauma of its birth and the underlying fact of its 340m-year endurance. From many angles it’s thought to resemble a resting lion (I’d suggest a magnificent old lioness), with her raised forehead as the hill’s 250-metre summit.
At any season there is a constant traffic of people to that spot; in effect, to be a flea in a big cat’s ear. I usually forgo the crowded summit for something more wonderful: her coat of sun-simmering yellow. Right now the whole hill is a blaze of gorse blossom. It is odd that a such an essentially militant plant should cloak itself in the densest, most delicate flowers. I don’t think I have ever encountered gorse with more profuse blooms.
It’s as if the plant knows the iconic status of its location. Should the Scots ever choose independence (and why on earth wouldn’t they?) I propose Arthur’s Seat as the symbol for the nation. From its summit you can see the whole Firth of Forth and beyond. True, there are the old castle and the new national parliament complex, but in 10,000 years’ time, which of these will still stand? I’m putting my money on solid Carboniferous magma. Besides, which of those three has a self-renewing ability to make Edinburgh’s spring air heavenly with the thick scent of vanilla and coconut?

Did you know that one in four trains could run on direct supply thanks to solar panels?
According to Weather.com, "The direct supply of solar energy to Indian Railway lines—without the need to connect via the grid—would save almost seven million tons of carbon a year."
And according to Indian Railways, from a report administered in 2019-20, approximately 8 billion passengers traveled by train over that time period. Now, about 2 billion passengers could very well travel on trains that are "directly powered by solar energy."
The Prime Minister, Modi, explained that railway electrification in the country is progressing quickly, and projects for Railways to have a net-zero carbon emitter by the year 2030. That is not too far off.

There’s a video that’s circulating around the internet staring Nuno Silva, Developer Evangelist at Microsoft Portugal, where he “confirms” that today’s Windows Phones will be getting an update to the next major version of the OS. We’re of course talking about Windows Phone 8, codename Apollo. Is he telling the truth? We don’t think so. In fact, we have two independent sources (both Nokia employees) who tell us that what Nuno said was a downright lie. The folks at The Verge have their own source, someone “close to Microsoft”, who is saying the same thing. Who should you believe? Well, that’s up to you. Microsoft’s official statement regarding this situation is: “We have nothing to share about future releases.”
The bigger and more important question: Should you buy a Windows Phone today? Nokia fans are not going to like this answer … but here it goes: We don’t think today’s version of Windows Phone is competitive enough when compared to Android and iOS. If you’re thinking of snatching up a Nokia Lumia 900 for free with a two year contract because you think it’ll get a software update to Apollo, then you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
What device should you buy? That depends a lot on your budget and what you plan on doing with your phone. It’s easy to say “just buy an iPhone!”, but there’s also the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the Samsung Galaxy Note, and even the Samsung Galaxy S II, despite being a year old, is still a device we wouldn’t be ashamed to be seen carrying.
If you do decide to wait for Windows Phone 8, what can you expect? Phones with 720p resolution screens, dual core processors, applications that can share data with each other, the newest version of “Internet Explorer”, NFC, encryption, and the list just goes on and on.
Oh and one more thing. Back in January of this year we published what’s pretty much this exact same story, except the source was Eldar Murtazin, Editor in Chief of Mobile-Review.
Update: This tweet just in from Eldar:
@verge they have Apollo style update in pipeline for wp7 (ui, some apps, tweaks). But it isn’t Apollo. People will like it I think
— Eldar Murtazin (@eldarmurtazin) April 18, 2012
Update: Nuno Silva retracted his comments, says: “The point I was attempting to make was simply that existing Windows Phone applications will run on the next version of Windows Phone. This is the same guidance that Microsoft shared late last year. I mistakenly confused app compatibility with phone updateability, which caused the rumors we saw yesterday.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The presence of beta-amyloid deposits in the brain significantly limits the effectiveness of cognitive training in healthy older adults, according to new research presented at the 2024 Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Annual Meeting. Assessed by PET imaging, adults with amyloid deposits were less likely to retain skills and information learned during cognitive training. This intricate relationship emphasizes the necessity of comprehensive strategies to address cognitive decline in aging individuals.
Cognitive plasticity is the ability of the brain to grow, adapt, and reorganize as it learns new skills. Cognitive training can help people improve their cognitive plasticity, even into the later decades of their lives.
“While certain factors such as education, age, and genetic predisposition can have an impact on how easily a person can learn new skills, the impact of molecular age-related changes in the form of fibrillar amyloid pathology on plasticity remains to be investigated,” said Gerard Bischof, deputy group leader for Multimodal Neuroimaging in the Department of Nuclear Medicine at University Hospital Cologne in Cologne, Germany. “Expanding our knowledge of why cognitive training does not benefit everyone may allow us to improve non-pharmaceutical interventions.”
In the multicenter cognitive intervention study, 76 healthy older adults completed 12 60-minute cognitive training sessions consisting of validated computerized tasks designed to train executive function, memory, attention, and processing speed. A neuropsychological test battery was administered at baseline, post-training, and at three months to assess training improvement across the sessions, immediate improvement, and maintenance. In addition, 18F-florbetaben PET was performed to image fibrillary beta-amyloid plaques. Standard uptake value ratios (SUVR) were calculated and evaluated.
The presence of beta-amyloid on PET scans unveiled a noteworthy impediment to the potential benefits of cognitive training. Controlling for baseline effects, age, education, and intelligence, individuals with higher SUVRs (more beta-amyloid deposition) showed significantly less training improvement across sessions and transfer maintenance at three month follow-up. Interestingly, immediate transfer improvement was not related to amyloid deposition.
“These findings underscore the interplay between cognitive resilience and amyloid pathology in the aging brain. While cognitive training exhibited the capacity to stimulate cognitive plasticity among healthy older adults, the efficacy of these interventions faced significant constraints in the presence of amyloid pathology,” stated Bischof.
“This could potentially lead to a rethinking of interventions for healthy older populations that include markers of Alzheimer’s pathology. In addition, different training strategies may be needed for individuals with different levels of Alzheimer’s pathology.”

A community hub based in the Wirral was recently recognised with an award win and secured a cash injection for their work in the Egremont community.
The Voice of Egremont Community HQ, which is supported by housing association Magenta Living, supports local residents with a social supermarket, community meals, family support and training, employment and financial advice.
The project, which is backed by Magenta Living and Travis Perkins Managed Services, was recognised for a ‘Travis Perkins – We Care’ award. Magenta Living and Travis Perkins Managed Services work in collaboration to provide funding to local communities as part of their social value commitment contract and were responsible for awarding the funds and the win. It means that the Voice of Egremont will receive a financial boost of £5,000 which it will use to bolster the project.
The project volunteers, led by Irene Oswald and Maria Kershaw,
work tirelessly and give up their time to support their local community.
It is located in an area that doesn’t have a community centre and works with a variety of community and statutory partners to deliver a regular timetable of events, services and activities for residents in the local area.
Jamie Martin, Head of Community Regeneration at Magenta Living said: “We strategically seek out partnerships which create social value and engage Magenta customers within the neighbourhoods where we operate.
"We have used the Travis Perkins Managed Services Legacy Fund to enable local volunteers and enterprises to develop creative and engaging solutions to issues within their neighbourhoods. The collaboration works fantastically well, channelling funding to support the development of a range of ground-up community solutions and mutual support.
“The Voice of Egremont Community Hub is a great example. Led by volunteers with the passion, drive and commitment to support their local community, the small grant provided from the Fund has assisted them to create a much-needed and vibrant hub at the heart of the community.”
Gavin Paget an Account Manager from Travis Perkins Managed Services says: “The work that Magenta Living and The Voice of Egremont Community HQ are doing to help residents is invaluable. The funds will be used to help invest in the area and continue to engage with the community.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A career change was not the original plan, but the evolving renewables sector proved to be an ideal opportunity for Oksana
The world is betting big on solar. In 2022, the EU alone saw solar employment rise by an estimated 30% to approximately 600,000 direct and indirect jobs. By 2030, this number could skyrocket to over 1 million, opening doors for thousands of workers currently employed in other sectors. While the numbers speak for themselves, the real life accounts of solar workers who are committed to creating a sustainable future are even more compelling.
When Oksana Treacy was laid off from her oil and gas job in 2015, her first instinct was to find another position in the same sector. After all, she’d trained as a chemical engineer and worked in the oil and gas industry since graduating university. By the time she was laid off, Treacy was divorced with three children, leaving her with significant financial considerations as she navigated a difficult job market. Moreover, she loved working in oil and gas and wasn’t looking to switch careers.
“I originally didn't want to [leave the industry], but after looking for a year unsuccessfully I basically had this moment,” Treacy explains over a Zoom call. It occurred to her that her skills were no longer needed by the industry she’d come to know and love. “I didn't ever see it as being about me necessarily, but just the situation,” she explains, a realization that prompted her to ask a transformative question: where did she want to go next?
If she was going to pivot, she wanted to do so in an intentional way. Guided by a desire to find inspirational work, she came up with renewables on the premise that if a transition was unfolding, then only by educating herself could she better understand what was really going on. More importantly, she wanted to apply herself in a purposeful way. The decision to embrace change led Treacy back to school where she obtained a master’s degree in sustainable energy development. After graduating, she joined SkyFire Energy, a Certified B Corporation and solar panel installation contractor serving Western Canadian communities. While she was familiar with the company, having done her capstone project with them, she admits to having landed work in a complex and ever changing industry. While many skills required by solar companies can be carried over from other industries, a significant learning curve still exists for many making the transition. For someone like Treacy, the transition not only entailed a change in industry, it also involved a transition from petroleum engineering into project management focused on electrical systems.
“It’s not a stagnant industry,” she explains. “The renewable aspect of it, the technology, it's all fairly new, especially in Alberta. So, even if you do know things, it's tough to keep on top of it.” Yet for this exact reason, the industry is ripe with opportunities. And they’re looking for the right people, many of whom can be found working in today’s oil and gas industry.
“I just hired six people over the last three weeks,” said Sky Fire’s CEO, David Kelly in an interview with the Financial Post. “There are many ongoing jobs in electrical and maintenance work. Just about every electrician I have hired has done work in oil and gas.”
Yet when I asked Treacy if it’s been easy to find workers, she quickly tells me that it’s actually been difficult to fill positions, with apprentices and electricians accounting for the majority of their core workforce.
Clearly, today’s workforce is still evolving to meet the demands of this growing industry, but for those who are eager to jump in, opportunities, especially in electrical, abound.

Nine apply for SV superintendent post
Published 9:43 am Wednesday, November 25, 2009
AID TOWNSHIP—The Symmes Valley Board of Education — both current and soon-to-be members — will discuss the nine candidates for superintendent at a special meeting Dec. 7.
The deadline for submitting a resume to replace the retiring Tom Ben was Friday.
The nine people are: Linda Henderson, federal programs coordinator for East Liverpool schools; Eric Holmes, special education director for Dawson-Bryant schools; James Howard, principal at Lawrence County Joint Vocation School; Matthew McCorckle, principal at Wheelersburg High School; William Madden, assistant director of Scioto County Joint Vocational School; Annette Massie, elementary principal at Ironton Elementary; Sandra Mers, assistant superintendent for South Point schools; Ken Ratliff, administrative assistant for Fairland schools; and Jeff Saunders, principal at Symmes Valley High School.
Board President Wayne Taylor said he was pleased with the response the district has gotten from people interested in the job.
“Many of the people came from the county but we did get one from as far away as East Liverpool,” he said.
The selection process will include both sitting board members Taylor, John Kelley, Brian Pancake, Kim Turner and Mike Wall and the three people who were elected earlier this month and will join the board Jan. 1: Hope Rowe, Tom Shepherd and Chris Thompson.
Taylor, Kelley and Pancake opted not to seek re-election.
Ben, who has been superintendent since 1993, will retire effective Dec. 31. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Some weeks ago I went to see "4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days", but I didn’t have the time to post some brief comments. It’s a pretty depressing movie. The setting, a wintry day in Romania in 1987, during the final years of the communist regime, adds to the desolate atmosphere.
If you read this you will probably already have heard something about "4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days" or perhaps even have seen it. It was awarded the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival last year and has received unanimous critical acclaim around the world. All of which is well deserved, as it is one of those rare movies that succeeds at all levels. The scenario is interesting and the acting and cinematography are great.
The camera work and long takes produce a strong sense of reality and immediacy. It trails, captures and registers. With very simple means director Cristian Mungiu renders the psychological dimension of space: a university dormitory, a corridor, a hotel room, a lobby, a staircase, a street, the seat arrangement at a dinner party.
In one scene, as she walks across a pedestrian bridge, Otilia, the friend who has helped Gabita with her abortion, suddenly starts to run. Is she being followed? Instead of trailing her, the camera stops as she disappears from view. From the left a bus drives into view. It stops. Its doors open. They close again. And the bus drives off. In the next scene Otilia is sitting inside the bus. She has made it. In an earlier scene Otilia only barely managed to obtain a ticket from someone, when conductors enter the bus she is sitting in. You hope that this time the tickets won’t be collected or that she has a ticket.
At some point I noticed just how conditioned I am by what I will call Hollywood movies, for lack of a better term. When Otilia walks alone on the streets at night, when the receptionist at the hotel tells her that her male visitor has forgotten his identity card, or when Gabita doesn’t pick up the phone, you half expect something terrible to happen. But the terrible thing has already happened. Nothing more terrible has to happen.
The film neither promotes nor denounces abortion. It shows the consequences when women are denied legal access to abortion.
For all its bleakness you would almost forget that "4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days" is also a film about friendship. Despite Gabita's naivité, despite the demands made of her, and the despite the fact that she has problems of her own to attend to, Otilia keeps on trying to help her. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Food Service Jobs for Expats in Europe
A very common type of job in the hospitality industry is serving food and drink of various types and in various ways. Any resort will have many positions of this type, and in cities bars and restaurants always need new help since these tend to be high turnover positions.
Bar and restaurant jobs roughly fall into three categories; front end, back end, and administration positions. Front end positions are the jobs where you interact directly with the customers. This includes, waiters and waitresses, bartenders, hosts and hostesses, Maître de, wine steward, and so on.
With these jobs you are the front line, getting the larger percentage of tips, (if any), and dealing with all the hassles that only demanding people on vacation can give you.
The next category is the back end positions. These are the cooks, dishwashers, busboys, and cleaners who help to prepare food and clean up after the food’s been eaten. Generally, with these positions you don’t have nearly the stress of the front end staff. At the same time, you generally don’t make as much since both wages and tips are smaller.
The final category is the administration positions. This includes managers, assistant managers and book keepers who help to run the business side of the business. These are going to be the best paying jobs available, but also require you to either have some experience in that type of position or some formal training or certification.
There are bar, pub, and restaurant jobs in every country in Europe; Europeans love to eat out and go out drinking with friends even more than in North America. There are plenty of jobs to be had, which means your biggest challenge is going to be getting a work visa for the country. You will generally have to get a student visa, a working holiday visa for Canadians, or try to work under the table. Very few food and beverage jobs are going to qualify you for skilled immigrant status in the countries that have that kind of program.
Wages for jobs are going to vary a lot from one end of Europe to another. For instance, a dishwasher in the UK will make the equivalent of about 1,600 USD/month. In Switzerland, a dishwasher would make about 2,700 USD/month. Another thing to be aware of is that tipping is much lower in Europe than in North America, typically only 5-10% of the bill. However, many places will include a service charge into the price of the meal and so you usually get a guaranteed percentage from any meal.
In the summer at beach resorts and the winter at ski resorts there are all kinds of food and drink serving positions that open up. A lot of these will be for only a few months, but they are ideal if you are doing something like a working holiday. For these kinds of places, expect to be dealing with far more international tourists rather than serving locals as you would be doing in bar or restaurant in a city.
A little bit of extra attention has to be given to the classic job of tending a small pub in the UK or Ireland. Finding a pub job under the table that also gave you your accommodations has been a tradition for North Americans jetting to Europe for decades. With some of these jobs you bartend, serve the food, cook the food, and bus the tables, and the wage is about 5-7 pounds/hour. There are still plenty of these jobs available in the UK and Ireland. In the smaller towns, you will probably be able to get away with working under the table if you need to. In London, many owners will ask to see your work permits, so you are better off getting a student visa or a work permit through BUNAC.
To find what jobs are available in specific countries, check out the tourism jobs section. There are literally thousands of pub and bar jobs all over Europe just waiting to be snatched up by someone with a friendly smile. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
