Bamboo has natural properties that wick moisture away from the body, keeping the skin fresh for longer.
Why Bamboo Boxer Briefs Are the Best Choice
Bamboo boxer briefs are an excellent choice for those who value both comfort and eco-friendliness. Bamboo fibers are known for their soft and silky properties, making them exceptionally comfortable against the skin. Moreover, bamboo has natural antibacterial properties, which help to keep the skin fresh and reduce the risk of bad odors.
Another key reason to choose bamboo boxer briefs is their temperature-regulating ability. Bamboo material is thermoregulating, meaning it keeps you cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold. This property makes bamboo boxer briefs a great choice for all seasons.
Beyond personal benefits, bamboo is also an environmentally friendly material. Bamboo plants grow quickly, require little water, and no pesticides, making them a sustainable alternative to traditional textile materials. By choosing bamboo boxer briefs, you're not only contributing to your own comfort but also to a more sustainable future.

European Union leaders have agreed in principle to initiate membership negotiations with Bosnia-Herzegovina, although the Western Balkan country still has a lot of work to do before talks can begin.
The 27 leaders granted the political green light at a summit in Brussels on Thursday after the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, agreed last week to begin discussions despite severe ethnic tensions in the country of 3.2 million people.
“The European Council has just decided to open accession negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Congratulations!” EU Council president Charles Michel said.
In the summit’s conclusion, leaders highlighted the necessity for Bosnia to continue pursuing “all relevant steps set out” by the Commission, which include economic, legal, and political reforms, as well as improved efforts to combat corruption and money laundering.
Bosnia is riven by ethnic tensions, even decades after the 1992-95 conflict that ripped the country apart, killing over 100,000 people and displacing millions.
Bosnia received candidate status in 2022. To join the EU, candidate nations must undergo a protracted process of aligning their laws and standards with those of the organization, as well as demonstrating that their institutions and economies fulfill democratic ideals.
When Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte arrived in Brussels, he stated that more work was still to be done before Bosnia could fully participate in EU negotiations.
“It’s crucial that Bosnia will fulfill all the necessary actions in the Commission’s TRs report so that you really will have ticked all the boxes,” Rutte said.
Negotiations would most likely last many years, and many more political and economic reforms would be required to attain membership. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated that he was “very much for” taking a step forward “after the many efforts that have been made in Bosnia-Herzegovina.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Last night, I had a chance to hear John Jantsch, author of Duct Tape Marketing and (soon to be released) The Referral Engine. I was so excited to have the opportunity to meet John, as his highly acclaimed book has long been on my “to read” list. (It also seems to be on the “recommended” list of many of my colleagues’ blogs.) John has a great blog as well, dedicated to helping small businesses find “simple, effective and affordable” marketing solutions.
I also have to give a shout out here to the Atlanta Business Marketing Association and Kris Elliot (@regusatlanta) from Regus AtlantaOffice Solutions for hosting a terrific event in their beautiful office space! (Win one year of fully furnished office space at one of their 23 Atlanta locations enter HERE!)
I had a feeling that I’d get some great ideas to share with you from John, and I was not disappointed! The fact is (can’t say this enough): Job search is nothing more than marketing YOURSELF. And John’s definition of marketing absolutely hits the spot:
“Getting someone who has a need to know, like and trust you.” What a great way to define the point of the job search!
All too often, job seekers fail to connect and land because they don’t focus on what the organization or employer wants. Big mistake. Find this information by studying the job description, thoroughly reviewing the organization’s website and social networking sites and making good use of information from people you have met via informational interviews.
What are their problems? (Their “pain points.”) You need to understand those problems before you can try to solve them. (Follow THIS LINK for a story that helps explain why!)
Job search is not about you. Your resume is not even all about you – it is an opportunity to make connections between what you offer and what the organization desires. If you ignore those all important NEEDS, it is unlikely that you will connect with an employer in this very competitive market.
Take a good look at your resume. Are you taking into consideration who will be reading it and what appeals to him or her? Do you make an effort to connect your skills and accomplishments in a context that resonates with your audience? What can you do to incorporate information with the “hooks” to appeal to the jobs you are hoping to “catch?”
Stay tuned for more that John shared that really resonated for me and related to job search! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
BANGKOK — Police say they are seeking the perpetrators who stole more than 12 million baht from teller machines owned by the Government Savings Bank by infecting them with computer virus.
The attack reportedly took place early this month and forced the state-owned bank to suspend 3,343 of its cash dispensers since Aug. 8, but the bank only told the public about the incident on Tuesday. Police also described the digital heist as the first one of its kind in Thai history.
An executive with the bank said the theft, which cost the bank 12.29 million baht, does not affect the public’s bank accounts.
“The robbery of the GSB’s ATMs was to steal the money that belonged to the bank, not the customers,” said the bank’s chief executive Chatchai Payuhanaveechai. “We will seek the damage from the manufacturer of the ATM machines.”
Notes left on out-of-order ATMs owned by the bank made no mention of the theft. The text only said the machines were undergoing technical “improvement.”
Gen. Panya Mamen from the Royal Thai Police said the perpetrators pulled off the heist by inserting modified ATM cards and infecting the machines with a certain malware that prompt them to dispense cash.
He believed the crime was committed by at least 25 people from eastern Europe.
The 21 machines reportedly hacked by the malware are in Bangkok, Phetburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Phuket, Surat Thani and Chumphon.
The Government Savings Bank said its clients can withdraw money from the machines of other banks without any fee until the bank’s ATMs can function again.
Bank executive Chatchai said he had already informed the Bank of Thailand to warn other banks that also use the teller machines built by a company called NCR because they may be susceptible to the attacks.
There are more than 10,000 ATMs made by the company in Thailand, and his bank only owned about 3,000 of them, he said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
DENVER — When Demi Rivera was growing up, going to the hair salon was the last thing she wanted to do.
“I had such a hard time being in regular salons when I was a kid. The noises from the blow dryers and everything really got to me," Rivera recalled.
Rivera's grandmother was a hair stylist, and she remembers being intrigued by the craft, but did not consider it becoming her career until the end of high school. She obtained her cosmetology license in 2014 and began working in salons, but discovered the same stressors from when she was a child.
"There's a lot of cross noise and a lot of chatter, a lot of crowds and just like, too much going on all at once. It can be very overwhelming," Rivera explained. “I have never really felt like I fit in, in other salons. I wasn't diagnosed with autism until 2019. So, I really didn't know. I had a couple of salon owners tell me that if I couldn't handle the stress, I should quit doing hair.”
Instead of quitting, Rivera started her own company that caters to the needs of clients who are neurodivergent or have autism, providing an option from the sensory overload that can be caused by typical hair salons. She named her company Talking Hairs, as an homage to the Talking Heads.
“We don't feel like there's usually a lot of space for us. There's usually a lot of attention toward autistic children. But you know, we all grow up and we all become adults. And so then once we do, we feel like we're pushed into society to fit in and just kind of endure," Rivera said. “[Talking Hairs] is a comfortable space for all of us. Somewhere that everyone feels like they're safe when they come. They can be themselves. They don't have to pretend to be someone they're not.”
Rivera said she has around 185 clients, and one of them is Nicole Armour, who has autism.
“It's always been stressful getting my hair done. So it's nice to finally have a place where I can just be calm and myself," said Armour. “It's just nice to have a safe space to get my hair done because it is an intimate thing. And it's nice to have someone who can you just feel comfortable with.”
Rivera was recently forced to leave her last location without much notice, and said she is paying nearly double in her new location. She also said she broke her knee in June, meaning she could not work. For those reasons, along with inflation, she has started a GoFundMe to help keep Talking Hairs afloat. The fundraiser said the money will be used to provide financial stability for her business during a time of economic hardship.

Good News: More Crops! Bad News: More Plague!
Africa needs more food.
And to get more food, you need more farmland.
There's a relatively simple solution — it's called "land conversion," and it can mean creating new fields to grow crops next to fragments of forest.
Only there's a catch. The rats of the forest are drawn to the crops of the farmland — and to the grains that farmers often store outside their homes. And those rats can carry the bacteria that causes plague — the very same plague responsible for claiming millions of lives during the Middle Ages.
"Throughout East Africa there's been a lot of push toward land conversion," says Hillary Young, a community ecologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Young is particularly interested in some of the pests on this farmland: specifically, the rats that come to poach harvested crops. Recently, she completed a study showing that rats on farmland are more likely to carry the bacteria that cause plague than rats in the forest.
When fleas carrying Yersinia pestis bacteria jump from a rat to a human, the human gets the plague. More than 1,000 plague cases are reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention each year, many of them in rural Africa. With antibiotic treatment, many people survive the plague. But without treatment, an infected person can die.
"In these particular communities there are recurring outbreaks of plague," says Young. She and her coauthors trapped rats on farmland and in forests, and then tested the rats' blood for plague bacteria and combed the rats' fur for plague-carrying fleas. They found more rats on the farmland than in the forest and that the farmland rats more frequently tested positive for plague.
Farm rats pose a greater threat to human health. A flea has to jump from rat to human before a person can catch the plague. But some fleas are picky; they'll bite only rats. "There are only a few fleas that will jump from rodent to human," Young explains. And on farmland, "rodents tended to carry fleas that were better at jumping from rodent to human," she says.
Given what she saw in the rats, Young says she is surprised that more people aren't getting the plague. Local farmers pile harvested crops right outside their houses or sometimes bring the bags inside. Lured by the sweet scent of grain, the rats come right up close to the people.
"They bring all of these diseases right into their home," Young says. What's more, rodents and other pests eat 15 to 30 percent of the harvest. "A crop storage solution would really help both problems here."
One of the best solutions? An airtight bag, says Jacob Ricker-Gilbert, a professor of agricultural economics at Purdue University. Purdue researchers developed a triple-layer bag for airtight storage of cowpeas, a popular legume in West Africa. The lack of air means any insects harvested with the grain will suffocate. Plus, the scent of the grain doesn't leave the bag, so the harvest attracts fewer rodents.
"One of the nice things with the bag is that you can keep it inside the house," Ricker-Gilbert tells Goats and Soda. Since most of the farms are small, it doesn't make sense to invest in a silo. And even if farmers have access to a community silo, many worry the silo is a target for theft.
Still, rodents are persistent. Coauthor Doug McCauley, a biologist at UC Santa Barbara, worries that rats might chew through the bags.
And even if the rats aren't biting, the farmers may need to be persuaded to use the bags. After all, Young says, farmers are "much more concerned about feeding their children than getting plague."

Reflections, Not Resolutions
With 2021 now behind us, I’m encouraged to think about all the possibility the new year holds – especially if we don’t bite off more than we can chew.
While I’m definitely not subscribing to the the “new year, new you” mindset, I do think reflection is valuable. Here are some of the questions we’ve been discussing lately in our family, including with our adult son with disabilities. I’m amazed at what we’re revealing to ourselves and each other:
How did you grow last year?
What people positively impacted your life and how can you enjoy more with them in 2022?
What are you most proud of from 2021 and how can you build on that in the new year?
What can we do, give and be to each other in the year ahead?
In 2022, I want to honor how this past year changed us and how it impacted every part of our lives, which it did. We all have the power to impact the next 12 months in important ways. How will you use yours?
-- Norman Vincent Peale
Brick by brick.
I hope building community is a priority for everyone in 2022. The Conversations on Power & Purpose podcast series offers thought-provoking ways to do just that with and for individuals with disabilities. Even better are these simple steps we can all take all year long to make families with disabilities feel more welcome and comfortable wherever they go.
I look forward to spotlighting individuals, organizations and municipalities throughout the year who are getting this right and setting an example for the rest of us, like Shoveling for Independence in North Dakota. What’s working (or not) where you live?
Ready for take-off.
Travel is definitely something I want more of in 2022. I want to enjoy it with our son who has disabilities, and I also want to be an ally for disabled travelers when I’m not traveling with him. Since its UK launch in 2016, the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower campaign has sought to address this issue. This seems like a great service for many families and ripe for US expansion. Meanwhile, I want to celebrate recent accessibility advancements in our country’s transit stations, crosswalks, and national parks. Hoping 2022 brings even more progress.

Leadership In Research And Education
Our faculty members invest substantial significance into interdisciplinary cooperation and strategic teamwork while conducting their own independent research in order to make quality and original contributions to universal science as well as to influence intellectual, technological, economic and social development of Turkey.
Koç University Hospital provides a unique setting for translational medical research with research laboratories located right within the center of its premises. We aspire to keep pushing the limits of universal science forward with laboratories fully equipped with facilities of the most advanced technology available and highly qualified human resources.
In addition to baseline scientific research,
phase I-IV trial studies are successfully conducted at the Clinical Research Center of Koç University Hospital. The Phase 1 Clinical Research Center, as
Turkey’s first high-risk drug research center, upholds its own quality and audit system and includes 7 single-person volunteer rooms, a laboratory/drug preparation area, pharmacy, recreational and mess areas, personnel rooms and an archive. The Clinical Research Unit is reinforced with all types of hardware, equipment and human resources capable of providing any scientific and technical support that may be required at any stage of a clinical research from designing studies to timely and effective completion. Specialized in coordination of clinical studies, our team members ensure compliance to national and international legal and regulatory requirements, Good Clinical Practice Guidelines (GCP), International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) and the Declaration of Helsinki.
It is our objective to ensure that our medical students, assistants and physicians from around the world attending our hospital for training and education purposes leave as empathic individuals with a high level of communication skills, who do not view their patients merely as a compendium of complaints and laboratory results, but rather as a whole with their emotions and social circumstances.
Physicians of Koç University Hospital embrace these qualities while rendering clinical services and educational activities, and pay due attention to physical and mental wellbeing, privacy and dignity of both patients and students of all levels. Our students and assistants get involved in every step of patient treatment and care under direct supervision and accountability of our physicians and faculty members as per approval of our patients. While not an obligatory part of the services we offer, this is a contribution we are determined to make for a brighter future in Turkish medicine.
Rahmi M. Koç Advanced Interventional Medicine, Education and Simulation Center (RMK AIMES) aims not only to serve medical and nursing students of Koç University and medical professionals of Koç Healthcare, but also strives to improve medical services in the overall region with an advanced educational approach.
Utilization of simulation in medical education combines traditional classroom learning with actual clinical practice. The primary objective of medical simulation is to reduce preventable medical errors that can be associated with the human factor. The scope of medical simulation, which is conducted in a safe learning environment, covers simpler technical skills such as administering injections to more complicated ones like cardiac catheterization. Simulation may also concentrate on promotion of non-technical skills of an individual, including decision making, leadership, effective teamwork and communication.
Visit the AIMES website for further information.
KUTTRC aims to promote development of biomedical devices with high added value on the basis of scientific research and local means, and encourage and support research to be conducted in this regard.
For this purpose, the center prioritizes establishing national and international collaboration in addition to forming a bridge between industrialists and scientists. The extraordinary knowledge acquired from projects run by our researchers is dedicated to creation of next-gen diagnostic and treatment methods, and makes it possible to enhance public welfare. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Where business and health merge -- Editor’s Picks
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
Sometimes, separating the business of health from the health of business is difficult. Here are three stories that shed some light on the intersection of these no-longer (if they ever were) inseparable subjects.
From the Washington Post: Prescription data used to assess consumers
Records aid insurers but prompt privacy concerns: ‘Health and life insurance companies have access to a powerful new tool for evaluating whether to cover individual consumers: a health ‘credit report’ drawn from databases containing prescription drug records on more than 200 million Americans.’
From Forbes: Health-care reform, corporate style
Company medical clinics are springing up at Toyota, Harrah’s, Disney and elsewhere -- and the savings are substantial: ‘When a company unveils a new plan to rein in health-care costs, workers usually groan. Yet Toyota Motor is getting rave reviews for the on-site medical center it built at its truck factory in San Antonio. Ask line worker Louis Aguillon. He went to the clinic in May with nagging back pain, and paid just $5 for the visit.... Toyota isn’t running a charity. The medical center, which cost $9 million to build in 2007, could save the company many millions over the next decade.’
And from U.S. News & World Report: Five great health applications for your iPhone
And one lousy one: ‘The release this month of Apple’s iPhone 3G, the sleeker, faster, cheaper version of the original iPhone, was met with cheers and long lines across the country. But the star that stole the show was the introduction at the same time of the App Store, which features hundreds of downloadable programs -- some free, some not -- for both the new and old iPhones as well as the iPod Touch.’

Brig prisoners are training dogs to help wounded Marines
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
Prisoners in the U.S. Marine Corps brig at Camp Lejeune, N.C., are helping train service dogs to assist Marines wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Under a program overseen by Carolina Canines, based in Wilmington, N.C., the dogs stay with the prisoners as the dogs learn up to 70 tasks, such as turning off lights and picking up clothes. Each dog, such as the one above, gets about nine months of training, sleeping next to the cot of their trainer-prisoner.
‘We messed up,’ a prisoner explained to WHQR in a report on National Public Radio. ‘But at least we can do something productive with our time while we’re in here.’

Real or not, ‘four-eared cat’ basks in Internet fame
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
It is the Internet, so Yoda the cat’s four ears could easily be an optical illusion or a camera trick along the lines of those semi-animated, talking cats whose mouths move on kitty litter commercials. Or perhaps the 2-year-old feline is just a remarkable showcase of genetic mutation.
We’ll defer to the Chicago Tribune’s Stacy St. Clair, who writes that Yoda has become quite the celebrity since his Downers Grove, Ill., family posted an image of him on the photo-sharing site Flickr:
Yoda, a smoke-colored feline whose four ears give him the appearance of a horned devil, this week became the toast of several high-profile Web sites, including the popular gossip blog Dlisted, after his picture appeared in the British media. His star has risen so quickly that his owners say they’re fielding phone calls from ‘Good Morning America,’ ‘Fox News’ and ‘The Tyra Banks Show.’ He has an agency taking photo requests. ‘It’s amazing,’ said Ted Rock, who owns Yoda with his wife, Valerie. ‘For the past few days, our phone has just been ringing off the hook.’
He’s a long way from his humble origins. The Rocks told The Tribune they adopted him when he was 8 weeks old after finding him in a bar where people were passing him around as a sort of spectacle. His newfound fame has the couple so worried that someone will try to steal him, they’ve placed a microchip in one of his four ears.
Rising star he might be, but Yoda is not the only creature with two too many appendages in the news lately. Remember the six-legged deer?

UNESCO leader Amadou Mahtar M’Bow won the first vote in his battle for a third term as director general of the Paris-based organization but failed to win a necessary majority of the agency’s 50-member executive board. M’Bow, of Senegal, received 18 votes while his main challenger, Pakistani Foreign Minister Sahabzada Yaqub Khan, received 16. Other candidates received between one and six votes. A second vote was planned today to decide on a candidate before the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization meets in November.

COUNTYWIDE : Cities Set to Mark National Night Out
Several cities throughout the county are planning parties, fairs and other activities to mark the 10th annual National Night Out campaign against crime and drugs.
“The idea is to heighten crime prevention awareness and generate support and participation in local anti-crime and anti-drug programs,” said Matt Peskin, National Night Out coordinator and creator of the event, which takes place Tuesday.
He said 26 million people in 8,600 communities throughout the country are expected to participate this year. The event is being organized locally by law enforcement agencies and community groups.
The Marine Corps Air Station in Tustin will be open to the public from 7 to 10 p.m. when the base will be converted into a carnival-like fair complete with a disc jockey, games, food and free fingerprinting and bicycle registration for children.
Also, Tustin firefighters, Orange police, military police and representatives from Orange County law enforcement agencies will distribute information on crime and drug prevention.
“We’re bringing the civilians, service members and their families together in the fight to combat crime in our community,” Marine Sgt. Timothy Paullin said.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department is holding another fair in San Clemente from 6 to 8 p.m. It will feature vendors demonstrating personal, auto and home safety devices such as alarms.
Anaheim police are inviting the public to their fair at Peralta Park, which will take place from 4 to 7:30 p.m. The fair will feature exhibits by canine , helicopter and other police details.
More than 2,000 people are expected to show up for the game booths, door prizes and free fingerprinting for children. About 600 neighborhoods in the city will also be holding block parties and barbecues for more than 13,000 people.
In addition, residents in Anaheim, Dana Point, Orange, Huntington Beach, La Palma, Fullerton and Fountain Valley are being asked by community groups and Neighborhood Watch groups to turn on their porch lights from 8 to 10 p.m., lock their doors and spend time getting to know their neighbors in an effort to send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized.
The Lantern Village neighborhood in Dana Point will also sponsor a “flashlight walk” to La Plaza Park. The walk will begin at 8 p.m. on Selva Road and end at the park at Pacific Coast Highway, where children will be offered free fingerprinting and bicycle registration services.
“This is a night for law-abiding citizens to join forces with local law enforcement and show criminals that we’re mad as hell and not going to take it any more,” Peskin said. “On Aug. 3, neighbors will meet neighbors, strengthen their partnerships with local police and make a commitment to keep their neighborhoods free of crime, drugs and violence.”

THOM MOUNT / PRODUCERS GUILD PRESIDENT
Credit and blame are on the mind of Producers Guild president Thom Mount--the former relating to the large number of people with producers’ billing on films, the latter to finger-pointing about Hollywood’s role in violence. Mount, 50, former Universal president, runs his own company, with several features and the syndicated “Dominick Dunne Presents” true crime TV series in the works.
WASHINGTON VERSUS HOLLYWOOD: “We don’t think they need some extra layer of government control to deal with violent content. But we strongly believe parents should use the ratings system and take it seriously.”
DRIVE-BY PARENTING: “When the National Assn. of Theater Owners announced they were going to enforce checking IDs for R movies, they got complaints from parents saying, ‘You mean I can’t just drop them off at the mall and I have to come in and say we’re allowing them to go to the movie? How dare you?’ ”
HOME RULE: “We have children 9, 11 and 13, and they understand what a rating is. Doesn’t mean they don’t try to get into inappropriate movies, but they have to get through us first.”
BEEN THERE: “Hollywood is an easy target as the central producer of popular culture. It reminds me of growing up in the South in the ‘60s where parents were advised not to let their children listen to ‘Negro music’ because it would poison their minds.”
TOO MANY CHEFS: “The [motion picture] academy just voted to limit the number of producers that can share the best picture Oscar to three. We were very in favor of that, when the hair dresser and manager and best friend from high school of a star can get producers credit. Our take is simple--you deserve the credit if you do the work. The studios’ position is very simple--’We will not take a hard line on credit if it costs us a deal with a director or star.’ ”
ONE OUT OF 4,000: “A young actor named Nate Adams brought us [his production company] a script he wrote and it’s wonderful. Called ‘Iron Man,’ a picture we’ll definitely make. That’s the good news of Hollywood. The bad news is the 4,000 awful scripts out there.”
SCHOOL BELL: “We’re involved with the Los Angeles Film School, a one-year conservatory program opening in September. Our key craftspeople are getting older and very few young people are learning.”

Why Send a Note Home on the Bond Proposal?
I read with great amusement the L.A. Unified School District’s attempt to sell higher taxes (“District to Correct Tax Assessment Figure,” Sept. 20). First the LAUSD used our tax money to write the “back to school” letter to 630,000 parents with children in our public schools. It can’t even get that right. Was it an attempt to deceive? The letter read that the bond issue (on the Nov. 5 ballot) was only going to cost (increase taxes) $5 per month. Now, because it should have read $5 per month for every $100,000 of assessed valuation, the district has to send another letter (costing $10,900) to correct the first letter.
How many houses in Los Angeles do you think carry only a $100,000 tax assessment? How many workbooks would the money it cost to send both letters have bought? I was under the impression that all the voters in the November election will get a booklet explaining the pros and cons of that $3.3-billion bond issue. Why did the LAUSD think it necessary to just let the parents of school students in on its bogus information? Taxpayers, be aware of what this bond is going to cost every property owner in L.A. Break it up; don’t vote to raise your taxes!

Norah Jones? Like, Just Where Did Tom Jones Go?
A host of psychological theorists have offered different versions of human developmental stages. My own is influenced by popular culture and general trends of American society. I’m in what is best described as Stage Nine -- the “this time life really has passed me by” stage, to be followed by the final stage -- “the world has passed me by but I don’t care.”
Evidence for having entered Stage Nine, what a contemporary’s young son calls “early old,” is everywhere. Watch the Grammys and find yourself equally unacquainted with the old stars, the new stars, the old songs, the new songs and every product advertised.
Recognition of Stage Nine development is found in the urge to lie to electronic answering devices by claiming one has a rotary phone.
Only neurological decline can explain Stage Niners conjuring up inappropriate reactions like, “But what about the workers?” and, “What’s the difference between downsizing and being fired?”
Equally significant is the Stage Niners’ need for politeness and good grammar. We get weak in the knees when we realize that no one has said “have a nice day,” much less “thank you” in a store, gas station or bank in the last month. We’re appalled that the elements of grammar now are “y’know,” “like” and “and stuff.” Through years of training, Stage Niners have come to believe that the word “like” portends the arrival of a simile. To hear “like” in the middle of sentences without it being followed by a comparison becomes an unbearable aural experience. Stage Niners hold their breath waiting for something, like the return of youth, which never comes forth.
Finally, there is the matter of assigning people to Stage Nine according to what they write. Children move from a period of pre-writing to writing simple messages, then diary entries, earnest attempts at poetry and outlines for great American novels. Then they proceed to CliffsNotes. Then love letters, real letters -- stamped and sealed with kisses. Somewhere in adulthood, shopping lists, “to do” lists and stickies indicate new stages of maturity.
But Stage Niners write letters to editors. Priding themselves in a newfound ability to e-mail these letters, Stage Niners pray that if not published, at least their missives will be responded to, not only because this proves one is alive but because responses mean that one may hear a disembodied voice electronically purr, “You’ve got mail.”
For the moment life may be passing one by, but at least life and self are digitized, which provides further proof of Stage Nine status. For in the end, the Stage Niner is defined as someone exhibiting a total lack of understanding of what it means for something to be digitized.
With one sweeping look back at history, Stage Niners know full well that “early old” is an oxymoron. If I can neither prevent the VCR clock from blinking nor find my way onto the Web, and medical science no longer makes parts for my particular anatomical model, I need no longer fear death.
Moreover, given that the farthest I can travel on the information highway is the breakdown lane, a wondrous irony may await me. Amid all the technological changes, Father Time may be so frustrated with my out-of-date browser he may not even find me.
Stage Nine is not the end of life. The time to worry is when a disembodied voice says, “Like, you’ve got mail, and stuff.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Victims of sexual abuse or sexual assault can file civil lawsuits against their abuser and other third parties, such as schools, churches, etc. Our sex abuse lawyers help victims get financial compensation by filing civil lawsuits against parties who negligently allowed the abuse to occur or failed to prevent it. New laws in Maryland have made it easier for victims of childhood sex abuse to bring civil lawsuits, even when the abuse occurred decades ago.
In this post, we will discuss the process of filing a civil lawsuit for sexual abuse in Maryland. We will look at the relevant laws regarding sex abuse and, specifically, clergy abuse lawsuits and the average settlement value of these cases.

Hat show features little black dress
Published 11:36 am Friday, June 7, 2013
The Acorn Theatre presents “The Hat and The Little Black Dress,” a fashion show and sale featuring the work of The Milliners of Etsy will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Acorn Theatre. The runway will feature lines by 20 hat-makers with styles that vary from classic to experimental. Audience members are encouraged to wear LBDs.
Hats by runway artists and other members of MOE will be available for sale at Journeyman Distillery following the fashion show. Milliners from across the globe who are unable to attend will send a singular hat for display and sale.
The Milliners of Etsy is a team of more than 350 milliners from every part of the globe. The team is based on the idea that milliners must share their knowledge in order for the art to flourish. Members range in experience and exposure. Hat-makers with decades of experience like Karen Morris and Boring Sidney mentor young talents like Theresa Baughman. Though the team has a strong sense of community, this will be the first time that members of MOE will physically meet.
Models will wear the LBD, the classic blank slate, to draw focus to the hats themselves.
Tickets for the first row are $80, second row, $40, and general admission is $20. Go to millinersofetsy.eventbrite.com.
Apparel is being designed by students at Columbia College, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Western Michigan University. Models are provided by The Chicago Ballet. The evening is being partially funded by Etsy through the Team Fellowship program. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Dowagiac loses first dining destination
Round Oak Restaurant would have turned 32 years old in June.
Whether you went there as a New Year’s Eve tradition, to dance to Marge Dudeck and Paul Jones or talk politics with U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, Doug McKay’s health-determined decision to close the doors of Dowagiac’s first dining destination marked the end of an era.
“I’m sad to see him have to give it up,” said Shirley Laylin, one of the founders of the Dogwood Fine Arts Festival, which held its annual membership meetings at Round Oak.
She and her husband, Leon, Dowagiac’s mayor pro tem, saw each new year in there.
“We did that for several years,” said Don Hall. He and his wife, Lois, the former city treasurer and councilwoman, shared New Year’s Eves with the Laylins.
“The entertainment was good,” Shirley said.
“We were there every week we were in town unless there was something going at the Elks,” said Polly Judd, whose late husband, Don, was Dowagiac Union Schools business manager. “We just really enjoyed their music. There were several ‘regular’ couples, one from Berrien Springs, one or two from St. Joe, some from Niles. Stan and Sharon Gregory from Diamond Lake used to always be there every weekend.”
“Marge and Paul had a crowd that followed them from all over. (Tenor saxophonist) Franz Jackson used to play there a lot,” Laylin said. “We liked to have meetings there” because of the acoustics. “It was peaceful and nice.”
Hall, a former insurance executive who works for the Council on Aging, agreed.
“The atmosphere was nice. It wasn’t a rowdy place.”
Hall and Laylin particularly remember the New Year’s Eve when a Marine from Edwardsburg came in with his date to claim the last table for two in the packed establishment.
“They didn’t feel like they were alone” with every passerby thanking him for his service.
When Marge and Paul played their medley of service themes, the Marine sprang to attention and received a huge ovation.
“We really miss them,” Hall said. “It was a nice place to go and we got very well acquainted with them,” which is how Marge and Paul happened to entertain on Aug. 12, 2009, when Hall organized the first Coins for Cass County Cancer Service luncheon at Dowagiac Elks Lodge 889.
As a pianist-singer in Green Bay, Dudeck frequently played for iconic Packers coach Vince Lombardi and his wife, Marie. His favorite song was “Darktown Strutters Ball.”
Her venues around Michiana included The Wooden Keg, Eddies Restaurant, The Club Lido, The Lincoln Highway Inn and The Pick Oliver, where she first played with Jones in the ’80s. He taught music in South Bend public schools for three decades.
Not only did Round Oak, with its back bar from the House of David, take its name from the stoves which made Dowagiac nationally famous, in its early days there was a dance club on the lower level, Philo’s Pub, named for Round Oak founder P.D. Beckwith.
When McKay first approached the city about opening a restaurant, Philo’s was likened to a “rathskeller,” a name in German-speaking countries for a bar or restaurant located in the basement of a city hall.
In that pre-Wood Fire and Zeke’s era, “There is a definite need for a facility of this type in our city. The nearest ‘like’ facilities would be approximately eight miles outside the city, which requires expenditures of fuel and time to be accommodated at these establishments for meals and entertainment,” City Manager Karl Tomion was quoted in the Sept. 29, 1980, Daily News. “The city needs additional places of employment and such a facility would furnish additional employment.”
At the time, McKay was working with the Barrier Free Design Board of the Michigan Department of Labor for a variance.
Tomion said the existing available area was small enough that an elevator would destroy the “quaintness of the interior” with its natural brick walls.
Restrooms had to be fit around Don’s Furniture, which occupied part of the building. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Among the most attractive and often played casino games available worldwide is Baccarat. Played in land-based casinos historically, Baccarat has made a smooth transfer to online venues where players may enjoy the game from the comfort of their homes. A good gaming experience depends on your knowledge of the rules and game mechanics of online blackjack, regardless of your level of experience. This definitive guide will dissect the main guidelines and techniques of online บาคาร่า so you may play with confidence.
Players of the card game Baccarat stake on which of two hands—either the “Player” hand or the “Banker” hand—will have a larger total value. One can also wager on a tie, in which case both hands will have identical value. Usually involving no strategy except making the appropriate bets, the game moves quickly.
Objective of the Game:
Predicting which hand would have a total value closest to 9 is the major objective in Baccarat. Every hand consists of two cards; particular guidelines allow one to draw a third card. In Baccarat, card values follow:
Usually, the game is carried on six or eight decks of cards. The dealer handles the cards face-up and shuffles the decks. Players lay their bets on the player hand, the banker hand, or a tie. The dealer hands two cards to every hand once the bets are put; the hand with the highest total value wins.
Third Card Rule
A third card might occasionally be drawn to the player or banker hand. Drawing a third card follows these guidelines:
- Should the player or banker hand totals be 8 or 9, no third card is issued.
- Should the player’s hand total six or seven, it stands, and no third card is issued.
- Should the player hand total five or less, a third card is drawn.
- The player’s third card determines the banker’s third card as well as his total hand worth.
Strategies for Betting
Players of online Baccarat can make three primary kinds of bets:
- Player Bet: You hope the player hand will prevail.
- You lay your stake on the banker hand. Though normally with a 5% charge, this is the most statistically beneficial bet.
- You lay your wager on both hands having the same total. This bet is least likely to happen, even if it offers a great payoff.
Combining luck with some technique, online บาคาร่า is an easy and interesting game. Understanding the fundamental rules and mechanics—including how cards are dealt—the third card rule, and the several betting alternatives can help you to make better judgments and raise your chances of success. Whether your goal is large wins or just for enjoyment, Baccarat presents a quick and entertaining game suitable for both novice and experienced players. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In the summer of 1974 a heatwave blankets Boston and Mary Pat Fennessey is trying to stay one step ahead of the bill collectors. Mary Pat has lived her entire life in the housing projects of 'Southie', the Irish American enclave that stubbornly adheres to old tradition and stands proudly apart.
One night Mary Pat's teenage daughter Jules stays out late and doesn't come home. That same evening, a young Black man is found dead, struck by a subway train under mysterious circumstances.
The two events seem unconnected. But Mary Pat, propelled by a desperate search for her missing daughter, begins turning over stones best left untouched - asking questions that bother Marty Butler, chieftain of the Irish mob, and the men who work for him, men who don't take kindly to any threat to their business.
Set against the hot, tumultuous months when the city's desegregation of its public schools exploded in violence, Small Mercies is a superb thriller, a brutal depiction of criminality and power, and an unflinching portrait of the dark heart of American racism. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Send-only Mail Server with Exim on Debian 6 (Squeeze)
Traducciones al EspañolEstamos traduciendo nuestros guías y tutoriales al Español. Es posible que usted esté viendo una traducción generada automáticamente. Estamos trabajando con traductores profesionales para verificar las traducciones de nuestro sitio web. Este proyecto es un trabajo en curso.

Many Linux server applications need to send email; cron jobs use mail services to deliver reports on jobs that have run, web applications require mail support for user registration functions, and other applications may need to send alerts via SMTP. This guide will help you install and configure the lightweight Exim MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) on your Debian 6 (Squeeze) Linode.
You’ll gain the ability to send mail from localhost
through either a traditional “sendmail” style interface, or via port 25 locally. As this guide is not intended to provide a full send/receive mail solution, please refer to our other email guides for ways to implement such configurations.
It is assumed that you’ve already followed the steps outlined in our Setting Up and Securing a Compute Instance guide. If you are new to Linux server administration, you may be interested in our introduction to Linux concepts guide, beginner’s guide and administration basics guide. Make sure you’re logged into your Linode as “root” via SSH before proceeding.
Before you begin installing and configuring the components described in this guide, please make sure you’ve followed our instructions for setting your hostname. Issue the following commands to make sure it is set properly:
The first command should show your short hostname, and the second should show your fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
Issue the following commands to update your package repositories, upgrade your system, and install Exim:
apt-get install exim4-daemon-light mailutils
Issue the following command to start Exim configuration:
You’ll be presented with a welcome screen, followed by a screen asking what type mail delivery you’d like to support. Choose the option for “internet site” and select “Ok” to continue.
Enter your system’s FQDN (fully qualified domain name) on the “mail name” configuration screen.
Enter “127.0.0.1” when asked which IP address to listen on for SMTP connections.
Make sure you list your FQDN, hostname, and localhost entries when you’re asked which destinations mail should be accepted for.
Leave the relay domains and relay machines fields blank.
Select “No” when asked whether to keep DNS queries to a minimum.
You may select either “mbox” or “Maildir” when asked about the delivery method used for incoming mail. While many utilities use mbox format, Maildir format can make handling individual locally delivered mail messages easier, and is widely supporting by a range of applications.
Accept the default “non-split” option for your mail configuration file.
Issue the following command to send a test email, substituting an external email address for email@example.com
echo "This is a test." | mail -s Testing firstname.lastname@example.org
Congratulations! You’ve configured Exim to send email from your Linode.
You may wish to consult the following resources for additional information on this topic. While these are provided in the hope that they will be useful, please note that we cannot vouch for the accuracy or timeliness of externally hosted materials.

Ghost mastermind Tobias Forge has discussed the impressive levelling-up that the band has achieved on their most recent album cycle, particularly when it comes to their profile in North America. Speaking to Metal Hammer in their latest issue, Forge reveals that in some of the cities the Swedish spooks visited on their most recent tour, they played venues over twice the size of their previous stop-offs there.
“On this last tour, you can tell that something has happened,” he explains, referring to the North American leg of the Imperatour, which promoted Ghost's acclaimed 2022 studio album, Impera. “There’s a lot more kids at the show. The last time we played Detroit, we played in front of 4000 people. This time, it was over 10,000. We’re doubling everywhere.”
The gigs weren't only at bigger venues; they also featured an expanded live show, including more technical upgrades and even the addition of backing dancers.
“We opened Pandora’s Box,” says Tobias. “We were adding all these other elements to the show that a lot of people – myself included – thought, ‘That would be cool to do all the time.’ Which is kind of complicated, because with something like the dancers, you’re essentially adding another team of performers. It’s another set of people who need to train and be in shape and travel and be fed.”
When asked if the extra live flourishes mean Ghost have to pay extra attention to the budget sheets, Tobias replies: “There are still budgetary issues, absolutely. Every cool idea you can ever come up with is really expensive. It always costs money and money is what controls everything. You have to pick and choose.”
You can read more from Tobias in the latest issue of Metal Hammer, out now. Latest Ghost album Impera is out now via Loma Vista. In his 9/10 review for Hammer, critic Dave Everley wrote of the album: "Impera wins on bolshiness, bravado and skyscraping songs alone. Ghost have turned in a modern metal classic with an arena rock heart. It turns out the devil doesn’t have all the best tunes. Tobias Forge does." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Leif (email@example.com) started piercing in Tucson, Arizona back in 1993 under Jay McPhillips at Enchanted Dragon Tattoo. During that time, Jim Gallagher, Keely and Glen Tackett, Johnny Ray, as well as Jay and Kauri McPhillips were huge influences on Leif's upbringing in Tucson's body mod community.
After a few years of poking holes in folks, Leif wanted to explore the planet and decided to join the Marine Corps. Four years later, after many travels, trials, and lessons in attrition and violence, Leif decided to follow his true calling back to the world of body modification. Making a few arrangements with his old friend Jim Gallagher, owner of Midnight Dragon Tattoo in Saltcoats, Scotland, Leif popped overseas to start his tattoo apprenticeship under a truly professional tattooist.
Following a vigorous instruction period under Jim's wing (with the help of George Stevens of Ayrshire Tattoo!), Leif headed back to the states to get started on a career in the subdermal arts. In 2002, after much searching and perseverance, he finally secured a position as a piercer/apprentice tattooist under Dave Peterson of Dave's Unique Ink in Vancouver, USA. Working closely under Dave at DUI, as well as at numerous tattoo conventions, along with the help of countless clients and friends to practice on, he honed his tattooing until he was ready to open up Lunatic Tattoo™ (08/08/08).
Leif has had several pieces published in a variety of tattoo magazines as well as being featured in the December 2005 issue of Tattoo Savage. He has also been accredited with several awards at local tattoo conventions, ranging from Best Back @ The 1st Annual Portland Tattoo Expo to Best Color Sleeve @ the Ink Traveler's show @ the Red Lion here in Vancouver.
During his first year, Leif was joined by the illustrious and award winning Danielle Alexander (firstname.lastname@example.org). Her artistic vision and prowess, combined with her many years of tattooing experience, have made her stand out in today's competitive tattoo industry.
Jesse has been tattooing for over 12 years now, and is great at what he does! (email@example.com) Although traditional/neotraditional tattoos are his main jam, he regularly tackles styles of a wide array.
Primarily by appointment, it's normally best to contact your artist directly to set up a time for a consultation or tattoo, but always feel free to stop by and say Hi! Someone is normally in and tattooing 7 days a week, 10am-6pm, closing at 4pm on Wednesday/Thursday.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for looking! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Who is Ryan Casey from Tullamore?
Ashling Murphy’s Boyfriend or Partner Ryan Casey is Ashling Murphy’s doting boyfriend or accomplice. The 23-year-old was involved with him and along with his family, he is also heartbroken over his murder in Tullamore.
There is very little significant knowledge of Ryan and the online media is thinking of various hypotheses regarding Murphy’s homicide and connecting him to his girlfriend. In any case, there was a suspect for the situation. An old man was captured but has currently told the truth where the specialist says he had nothing to do with Ashling or her death.
After the arrival of the man, there have been no suspects or arrests due to the situation. Also, to no one’s surprise, the web has now turned into a web page for unwanted reviews with any information.
Ryan Casey Age And Wiki Ryan Casey, Ashling’s boyfriend’s age may be in his early 20s. His exact age is not known, however, the victim’s age was 23. Both of his introduction to the subtleties of the world are not accessible on the web.
Durrow NS is completely devastated by the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Mrs Ashling Murphy. Ashling was a very professional and talented young teacher. We are deeply sorry for your tragic loss. Our thoughts are also with his loving family at this sad time. pic.twitter.com/7eNEs28h4R
— Scoil Cholmcille (@DurrowNS) January 14, 2022
Ashling was an elementary school teacher, but her boyfriend Ryan’s instructional background and professional niceties are unknown. We trust that the caring accomplice is adjusting well to Ashling’s death and will come out more grounded.
Details of Ryan Casey’s Parents and Family Ryan Casey’s parents and family are certainly not doing admirably in presenting the heartbreaking homicide of his mother-in-law. Murphy’s parents are Kathleen Murphy and Raymond Murphy. They passed on their cherished memories to the Irish Independent.
Her father remembered her as a charming and splendid young woman who loved music. Also, her mom reported that she always remembered to say ‘I love you’ before leaving the house. In fact, even on the very day she was killed, Ashling said that. Beam and Kathleen’s love is in a protected place watching them from afar.
Ashling Murphy was a Tullamore instructor who was killed Wednesday night after a series of violent attacks. Alongside a teacher, she was an exceptionally skilled performer and family lady.
People are very interested to know about her boyfriend Ryan Casey. Reports say that they were madly in love with each other and were soon married. It is very sad to see the excellent couple part ways due to an unfortunate death. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

We wish everyone in The Lyceum community a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
This week we have been full of Christmas spirit and have been spreading it far and wide.
Monday saw our School Houses compete in a Christmas-themed performance for their last chance to earn some important final points. We heard everything from a heartfelt acoustic song to an enthusiastic rendition of Feliz Navidad.
The children in Reception left the teachers and parents in awe as they performed this year’s Nativity show last Friday to their heart’s content and sang the songs in perfect sync. They were so excited to perform in front of their families, as well as the rest of The Lyceum children, and absolutely loved putting on their costumes and showing off their super acting skills.
We then enjoyed a trio of caroling days: on Tuesday our Year 5s and 6s spent the afternoon singing at Westport Care Home, much to the delight of the residents! On Wednesday, we held our annual Carol Concert then on Thursday they brightened up office workers’ days with more carols at Aldgate House.

Why We Must Balance Emotion and Intellect
On college campuses across America, students are voicing serious concerns about sexual assault, racial bias and mental health. Those concerns often surface -- with great emotion -- as part of classroom discussions. And when students feel that faculty members, staff members or administrators lack compassion in their response, outrage or protest might follow. As we have seen, this form of student reaction often makes headlines.

Howard joined the committee in 2022 and was elected chair in 2024. For the past 30 years, Howard has owned a property in Mangawhai, but it wasn’t until he got his gold card a few years ago that he decided to settle here full-time—and he’s been loving it ever since.
Sculpting has been a lifelong passion for Howard, with rusty steel as his preferred medium. As a mechanical engineer by trade, he sees little difference between art and engineering, viewing them as two sides of the same coin. His interests extend to visual arts in general, with a particular focus on recycling and upcycling, conservation, engineering history, natural history, steampunk, pub quizzes, Trackies, and much more. Dedicated to passing on his skills to anyone eager to learn, Howard is a strong advocate for encouraging others to do the same. He firmly believes that putting a washing machine 30 feet up a tree is perfectly normal—and can passionately debate the topic for hours if needed. | | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This year’s fair is September 28th.
Suddenly we are halfway through August and staring September in the face. The 37th annual Marlboro Community Fair is just a few weeks away, so circle September 28 in bright red marker on your calendar and look forward to the food, music, activities and community spirit that exemplify our beloved fair. The fair opens at 10 am with the rousing music of the Ill Wind Ensemble who will once again lead us in procession onto the fairgrounds in grand style. There will be fine live music all day on the stage (emceed by the one and only Andy Reichsman), breakfast, lunch, a corn roast, baked goods that will be available for purchase after they have been judged and awarded prizes by Dave Kelly and Jemma Ollis, beer and wine also available for purchase after judging, and amazing Indian treats seved up by Javed.
The theme of the fair this year is The Next Generation, honoring the talented and inspiring children and youth of our town. With that in mind, there will be plenty for kids to do, and for the kid that still lives in every adult. The dunk tank should be popular, expecially if its a hot day, and the nail pounding, tug-o-war and egg toss will test skill and prowess. Show off your muscles by ringing the bell on the Test Of Strength machine, try out juggling, clowning or riding a unicycle, learn about the magical world of nature and build a fairy house with folks from Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center. Get your face painted, touch a tractor, or just revel in the last delicious days of a Vermont summer by hanging out with your friends and loved ones.
Of course, all of our fair favorites will be there: The agriculture tent, tea tent, kids tent, artisans alley, arts and craft tent, the Longshanks stilt walkers, Mike Clough from the Southern Vermont Natural History Museum with his amazing raptors and reptiles, the raffle drawing, and at 4pm, the Fair Song led by Megan MacArthur to close out another wonderful celebration of Marlboro and all of you.
Admission to the fair is $5.00 per person or $20.00 per family, and performing musicians, babes in arms, kids displaying or working at the fair and folks over 70 get in for free. May this be a fair to be remembered by the next generation, and many generations to come! See you at the fair! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
All medical consultations, examinations and investigations are potentially distressing. Patients can find examinations, investigations or photography involving the breasts, genitalia or rectum particularly intrusive (these examinations are collectively referred to as “intimate examinations”). Also consultations involving dimmed lights, the need for patients to undress or for intensive periods of being touched may make a patient feel vulnerable.
Therefore before conducting an intimate examination clinicians will offer patients the security of having an impartial observer (chaperone) present during an intimate examination but could also include any examination where it is necessary to touch or even be close to the patient. This is aimed to protect both patients and staff from abuse or allegations of abuse and to assist patients to make an informed choice about their examinations and consultations. This will apply whether or not the clinician is the same gender as the patient.
A patient can refuse a chaperone, and, if so, this will be recorded in the patient’s medical record. Also any examination where a chaperone was present will be documented in the patients’ medical records.
Who can act as a Chaperone?
Although a chaperone does not have to be medically qualified the Practice policy is that non-clinical members of staff should not act as chaperones as they are not trained to be familiar with the procedures involved in intimate examinations.
Therefore chaperones will be clinical staff familiar with procedural aspects of personal examination | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

During the last few years, thousands of properties were purchased but never completed by the developers. Thousands of these sold properties have not been delivered to the customers. Furthermore, the developer has not refunded the stage payments made by the purchasers.
In some of the cases mentioned above, the buyer sued the developer and received a favourable judgment only to discover that they did not or will ever receive the reimbursements due to the insolvency of many of the developer´s.
Should the consumer accept and assume that he/she has lost all the monies paid in advance, which in several cases could mean their life savings?
Absolutely not. Our firm of lawyers has created and developed an action by means of which the refund of those stage payments is possible. Instead of pursuing the developer for the alleged breach of contract, our target are the banks that guaranteed or should have guaranteed the funds in case of non-completion of the property.
Following the provisions of an Act in drafted in a law of a royal decree, the developers are obliged to secure the deposits of prospective off-plan purchasers should their properties not be delivered on time or they go into bankruptcy.
Whether or not the relevant bank issued the bank guarantee, we have found the way to recover the down payments made by the purchasers. With the provision of the contract of purchase and sale of the property, as well as the bank statements showing the amounts paid in advance by the customer, we can proceed to recover the monies paid.

Shadow Mode allows students within Live Mathletics to challenge other students in their class who are offline. On the main Live Mathletics dashboard, a panel on the left of the screen will display all the other students in the same class — ordered by each student’s current high score. Students are shown as either being online or currently within a Live Mathletics game. Students can challenge another online classmate to a Live Mathletics battle by clicking their name. That student will be notified of the challenge within their own panel. If a student is not currently within the Live Mathletics area (or offline completely), they will be identified with a shadow icon. These students can also be challenged to a game, during which Shadow Mode will take over and play as the offline student — answering questions at the same rate as their current high score. For example, if an offline student is challenged to a Level 1 game and their current high score at that level is 50, Shadow Mode will answer 50 questions correctly during that game. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Legends, myths, and folktales are the whispers of a bygone era, echoing through generations with lessons both profound and whimsical. Embedded within these narratives are reflections of societal values, beliefs, and the human condition itself. Today, we embark on a journey to explore one such fascinating tale from the heart of South Africa – “The Dove and the Tortoise”.
While pinning down the precise origins and dating of folktales can be as elusive as catching smoke, this particular story is believed to have circulated in oral traditions within South African communities during the 8th century. Imagine sitting around a crackling fire under a vast starry sky, listening intently as an elder weaves this tale, their voice painting vivid images in your mind.
The Plot Unveiled: A Lesson in Humility and Ingenuity
“The Dove and the Tortoise” centers around – you guessed it – a dove and a tortoise, unlikely companions embarking on a journey filled with cunning twists and turns. The tortoise, known for his wisdom and patience, is challenged by the dove’s swiftness and aerial advantage. Their quest involves retrieving a precious item hidden deep within the treacherous wilderness.
As they navigate dense jungles and perilous ravines, their contrasting abilities are put to the test. The dove soars above, scouting paths and alerting the tortoise to danger. The tortoise, with his sturdy shell and unwavering determination, overcomes obstacles that would impede the dove’s flight. Their collaboration highlights the power of synergy – two seemingly disparate entities achieving a common goal through mutual respect and understanding.
However, this tale isn’t simply about overcoming physical challenges; it delves deeper into themes of pride and humility. The tortoise, initially confident in his strengths, learns a valuable lesson when he underestimates the dove’s resourcefulness. The dove, in turn, realizes that speed alone cannot conquer every hurdle – wisdom and careful planning are equally essential.
Symbolism and Cultural Context: Unveiling Deeper Meanings
Folk tales often serve as veiled commentaries on social norms and cultural values. In “The Dove and the Tortoise”, the animal protagonists embody specific traits and roles within South African society during the 8th century.
Animal | Symbolism |
Tortoise | Wisdom, Patience, Perseverance |
Dove | Speed, Agility, Adaptability |
The tortoise’s revered status reflects the importance of elders and wise counsel within African communities. Their patience and measured approach to problem-solving were highly valued. Conversely, the dove symbolized those who possessed quick wit and adaptability, navigating challenges with agility.
Furthermore, the tale subtly explores themes of social hierarchy. While the tortoise initially assumes superiority due to his age and perceived wisdom, he ultimately learns that collaboration and respecting different strengths are crucial for success. This message likely resonated within societies where collective efforts were essential for survival and prosperity.
Enduring Relevance: “The Dove and the Tortoise” in a Modern World
Despite its ancient origins, “The Dove and the Tortoise” continues to hold relevance in today’s world. Its simple yet profound message of teamwork, humility, and valuing diverse perspectives transcends cultural boundaries. In an era marked by individualism and competition, the tale serves as a gentle reminder that collaboration often leads to greater achievements than individual pursuits.
Moreover, the story encourages us to embrace our unique strengths while recognizing the value of others’ contributions. Just like the tortoise and the dove, we can achieve remarkable things when we work together, leveraging our diverse skills and perspectives.
Exploring Further: Unveiling the Tapestry of South African Folklore
“The Dove and the Tortoise” is merely a glimpse into the vast and captivating world of South African folklore. Countless other tales await discovery, each offering unique insights into the history, culture, and beliefs of this vibrant nation. As you delve deeper into these narratives, remember that you are not just reading stories – you are embarking on a journey through time, connecting with the wisdom and creativity of generations past. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Remote appearances have become increasingly common in recent years, especially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Courts and other organizations have sought ways to maintain operations while minimizing in-person gatherings and adhering to social distancing guidelines.
Remote appearance can offer several benefits, such as:
- Increased Accessibility: Remote appearances enable individuals with difficulty attending in-person proceedings, such as those with mobility impairments, health concerns, or conflicting schedules, to participate in the legal process more efficiently.
- Cost and Time Savings: By allowing participants to attend proceedings remotely, remote appearances can reduce the need for travel. This saves both time and money for all parties involved.
- Enhanced Safety: In situations where health and safety concerns are present, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, remote appearances help to minimize in-person gatherings and reduce the risk of spreading illness.
- Expanded Reach: Remote appearance technology enables courts and other organizations to connect with participants, industry professionals, or witnesses who may be in different cities, states, or even countries. This makes it easier to access relevant information and testimony.
While remote appearances have numerous advantages, they may also present certain challenges, such as:
- Technical difficulties
- Ensuring proper etiquette during virtual proceedings
- Maintaining the confidentiality and security of sensitive information
As a result, courts and other organizations need to establish clear guidelines and protocols for remote appearances to ensure their effectiveness and fairness.
Can I Change My Private Judge Before the Hearing?
It is possible to change your private judge before the hearing. However, there are several factors to consider and potential consequences to be aware of:
- Mutual Agreement: Both parties must generally agree to change the private judge. If the other party does not consent, it might be challenging to replace the judge unless there is a valid reason, such as bias, conflict of interest, or misconduct.
- Contractual Obligations: Review the contract or agreement you signed with the private judge. This allows you to understand any potential penalties or consequences of terminating the agreement before the hearing. Some contracts might have clauses specifying the process for changing judges or outlining possible fees for early termination.
- Finding a Replacement: If both parties agree to change the private judge, you must find a suitable replacement. This process might take time, especially if you need to research and select a new judge in the specific area of law relevant to your case.

If you felt like you were able to walk away from your crash and go about your day, a few aches and pains may not seem like a big deal. It's important to understand that any pain or discomfort you experience after a crash (especially if it wasn't there before) is always something you should take seriously. It could be a sign of something much worse.
There are usually two reasons why people don't always feel injured after a crash:
- Adrenaline: The shock of being involved in a crash may give you a boost of adrenaline. This is a hormone that increases your oxygen and heart rate. It also causes you to go into fight-or-flight mode and masks physical pain.
- Delayed symptoms: Some injuries take several days to start developing symptoms. You may feel perfectly fine after a crash, but days later, the pain and discomfort can set in.
Injuries that commonly cause pain and discomfort
Pain doesn't have to be sharp or excruciating for you to have an underlying injury. You may only experience some dull aches and muscle spasms in your back or neck. You may also experience tingling in the limbs or may not feel like yourself. Here are some of the potential causes:
- Neck, back and spinal injuries: The most common spinal injury caused by crashes is whiplash. This occurs when a person's neck rapidly jerks forward and backward and damages the soft tissue surrounding the cervical region of the spine. People who sustain whiplash often experience pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders and upper back. They may also experience headaches, fatigue and tingling in the limbs. Crash victims can also sustain slipped or herniated discs, which can lead to back pain, muscle spasms, numbness, burning and tingling in the limbs.
- Soft tissue injuries: These types of injuries generally occur when damage is inflicted to the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Muscles may become strained, torn or bruised from the impact of a crash. The tendons and ligaments can become pulled or torn, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of mobility.
- Mild traumatic brain injuries and concussions: Concussions are often considered mild traumatic brain injuries. Yet, they are anything but mild once they fully manifest. People who sustain concussions often experience confusion, disorientation, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, slurred speech, memory loss, fatigue, and irritability. Concussion symptoms can last several months, depending on the severity of the injury and the treatment received.
See a doctor & contact an attorney after your crash
Never put off seeing a doctor after being involved in a car accident. Your doctor will perform a physical exam, MRI, CT scan or X-ray to determine the source of your injury. You will also be given an official diagnosis. Make sure that this information is properly documented when pursuing a car accident claim.
After you've met with your doctor, speak to an experienced Arkansas car accident attorney to discuss your legal options. You may be facing high medical bills and may need to take some time off from work until you recover. The attorneys at McDaniel Law Firm, PLC know that this can be financially and emotionally devastating. We're committed to helping our clients recover every dollar they're entitled to.
We'll investigate your crash, prepare all supporting evidence and documentation, and advocate for a fair settlement. Our law office is located in Jonesboro. Contact us online to schedule your free legal consultation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mercier: how did you switch to cycling?
At that time, I lived in Rimouski, and I trained with a team. We left for two months to Mexico, to ride during winter. Back from this trip, on the Quebec championship, I finished first at the overall ranking. This is how I joined the Canadian national team.
I rode in the championship between 2000 and 2018. In 2005, I went professional in the US, in a continental team. You do it for passion, cause you want to fight to continue. In 2007, an accident involving a car forced me to miss two or three races, yet I still managed to finish sixth when I came back. In 2010, I spent quite some time in France, where I’m based. The 2012 season is my best one, I was eighth at the UCI ranking in my category. In 2014, I went back to a continental team in the US. In 2016, at 37 years of age, I won the Canadian national championship.
Mercier: So you wore the jersey with the maple leaf?
Yes, exactly, throughout 2017. That’s what made me famous. Actually, it’s this started my career as a coach. People came to me for advice, and training planning. I wanted to stand on my own two feet and to have my own place.
Mercier: How did the idea to open a shop came to your mind?
I travelled a lot throughout the world, and I saw cycling coffee shops. I wanted to create a place that would be full of life all year long: with coffee for the social feature, a headquarters for cycling passionate. The shop started small; the motto was really focused on indoor training.
Cartel as you know it today was born in September 2017. We have a selection of products which are well-made.
Mercier: Can you present Vélo Cartel? Its concept?
It is the best training, the best products, the best mechanical service. We help you to choose the right bike, depending on your practice. Our client’s experience is very important. We take a cup of coffee with our clients to chat. They want to be in shape and come here to train with us: there is a synergy. A trusting relationship is created, we become a family, hence the name of “Cartel.” It is a gathering of individuals who fight against adversity.
Mercier: How did you hear about the brand Mercier?
A simple Instagram post seduced me and made me click on the link to the brand’s website. A firm favorite! I already knew about the brand and the history of the Cycles Mercier for a long time. A dense history! What charmed us were the Mercier clothing, which totally stood out compared to the others we have in store at the Cartel. They are chic, elegant, with a classic style, a comfort, and most importantly made with high-quality fabrics.
Mercier: How is cycling seen in Canada? How did the sport evolve?
For 10 years now, cycling boomed, people want to ride in style. Cartel is the reference in Quebec and Montreal.
Mercier: What are your favorites spots to ride, in Canada and in the world?
It’s difficult to choose, I traveled in more than twenty countries. In South Africa, Cape Town is really beautiful! But when you’re riding, you only focus on your effort.
I really enjoyed Majorca. Boulder, Colorado, in North America. Girona, Spain. I like heat, I tolerate it well.
Mercier: A project for 2022?
A Sprinter van to organize events in Quebec!

Figuring In Taste Vectors For Pairing Wines
One night I was having dinner at a restaurant, not really paying too close attention to the food and wine pairings. I had just ordered a bottle of off-dry Riesling for the general style of food that we were ordering, mostly seafood with Asian inspired sauces and preparation. I’m not as fussy about wine and food pairings as I used to be. I just don’t want the two to clash.
As we worked our way through the appetizers and moved onto the entrée, I tasted my deep-fried whole sea bass with my Riesling, and they went pretty well together. Then I dipped a piece of the same fish into the rich kabayaki butter sauce and drank another mouthful of the Riesling, and it was suddenly a magic pairing. I was reminded of what Sarah Moulton of TV Food Network fame once told me about flavor. We had done a special dinner together for the REHAB Hospital, and while we were having dinner she shared with me her thoughts about the delivery of flavor to our palates, not only with food but with wine.
She said that there are basically two major vectors for flavor. In food there is fat. Fat comes in many forms. Some are glorious like butter, duck fat or cheese; others are not so glorious like oils, transfats and the like. Fat in itself has little to no flavor. Butter is quite mild on its own unless it is salted, enhanced or combined with something else. Whipping cream, which is very high on the fatty totem pole, is another example of something that is quite fatty but does not have a whole lot of flavor. For Sarah, some of the best things in the world need and contain fat in order to be flavorful. Bacon, the now banned-in-California Foie Gras, chocolate and ice cream are perfect examples.
When it comes to wine, she said that alcohol is the major vector for flavor. And she is right. When you look at critics who rate wines according to a 100-point scale, the highest rated wines are almost invariably those that have rich alcohol levels, many exceeding 14.5 percent by volume. Those wines carry an enormous amount of flavor in them. Those high-alcohol wines also tend to carry plenty of oak flavors as alcohol acts as a solvent in an oak barrel, leaching more of that flavor than a wine with less alcohol for the same duration. I think this is why those wines that score highly are easy to appreciate by any wine drinker. They are obvious and overt. You don’t need to be able to search for the flavor when it reaches out to grab your tongue.
But here is the rub. I’m drinking a glass of Riesling that is relatively lower in alcohol at about 11 percent alcohol with a rich, buttery and salty sauce with a rich and salty fish, and the pairing is phenomenal. I can taste all the wonderful nectarines, citrus and minerality in the wine but it is now elevated by the combination of fat and salt. So could it be that it is not only alcohol in wine that transmits the flavor? I dare to say that there is a combination of things in wine, not only the alcohol that does so. Or perhaps it is the combination of vectors in food and wine, some type of cocktail that truly brings the best out in each other. I will do more research until I find the answer. I may be onto something here.
Recommendations: 2010 Donnhoff Estate Riesling ($19) If there is a better ‘Estate Riesling’ from Germany, I’m buying. This one simply explodes with copious amounts of fruit, elegance on the palate and just the right balance of acidity and sweetness. You have to taste it to believe it. 2010 Malvira Birbet ($19) This is made from the Brachetto grape and produces a lightly sparkling, deep rose/purple wine that is fruity, sweet and exotic. Notes of pomegranate, roses, melons and berries abound. If you like Moscato d’Asti, you will absolutely go bonkers for this! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Foundation stone for Rs 66.20 cr drinking water proj laid in Darj
Darjeeling: Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) Chief Executive Anit Thapa laid the foundation stone for a Rs 66.20 crore drinking water project under the Jal Jeevan Mission’s “Har Ghar Jal” initiative. The project aims to provide potable water to 1,620 households in the Bijanbari Block of Darjeeling.
This project is aimed at supplying drinking water to households in the villages of Kainjale, Murmidang and Karmi. It is part of the broader Jal Jeevan Mission initiative and is expected to address long-standing water scarcity issues.
Addressing the gathering, Thapa urged elected representatives to fulfill their responsibilities and emphasised on the importance of working systematically. He remarked: “The elected representatives must perform their duties diligently and work closely with engineers. Blaming others after a failure is not right. When the system works, everything else falls into place. Responsibility must lie where it belongs, such as with the Panchayat in local matters.” Highlighting the need to adapt to changing times, Thapa encouraged a structured approach to governance. He said: “Everyone must work to their capacity and with proper planning. This necessitates systematic efforts at both the block and panchayat levels.”
“One can work without engaging in blame games or disputes. Confrontations achieve nothing and I will work in collaboration with the government. Simply pointing fingers doesn’t lead to progress,” added Thapa.
Condemning a misleading social media post that sought to communalise the SARAS Mela recently inaugurated by the Chief Minister, Thapa clarified: “The SARAS Mela is a significant annual event organized with Self-Help Groups (SHGs) from across the country, state including our hill communities. However, some social media posts are attempting to give it a Bengali versus Gorkha colour. Such misleading narratives can only hinder progress of our hills.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
BJP chief Nadda, Haryana CM hold roadshow in Panchkula
CHANDIGARH: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda along with Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and state president Nayab Singh Saini held a massive roadshow in Panchkula on Saturday.
The roadshow saw the participation of people in large numbers. Praising the present state government, Nadda claimed that the BJP government will be formed at the Centre and in the state for the third time. He also stated that by the year 2027, India will become the world’s third-largest economic power.
The roadshow concluded with the leaders paying homage to the statue of Major Sandeep Shankla, who was honoured with the Ashok Chakra.
Nadda expressed confidence that the Haryana government, under the leadership of Khattar, is implementing the policies of the Modi government effectively.
Nadda also praised the “Parivar Pehchan Patra” scheme initiated by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, stating that it has brought a revolutionary change in the state, eliminating the need for people to run around offices. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Kharge or Rahul likely to be PM pick: Shashi Tharoor
Thiruvananthapuram: Congress Working Committee member Shashi Tharoor said he feels the party could nominate either its chief Mallikarjun Kharge or former AICC president Rahul Gandhi as Prime Minister if the INDIA alliance comes to power in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Tharoor said there could be a surprise result in the election next year as there is an Opposition coalition and there are chances of the INDIA alliance coming to power at the Centre by trouncing the BJP-led NDA in the general elections.
“So we’ll have to wait and see,” he said while interacting with professionals of a US-based and Silicon Valley-incubated D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) marketplace Way.com after inaugurating its office at Technopark here on Monday.
Talking about the post-poll scenario, he said, “I think that once the result comes out, then because it’s a coalition and not one party, the leaders of those parties will have to get together and pick someone.
But my guess is that from the Congress Party, it’s going to be either Mr. Kharge, who then will be the first Dalit prime minister of India, or Rahul Gandhi, since in very many ways it (Congress) is a family-run party.”
Tharoor, who is a former union minister, said the Prime Minister is the first among equals, and he was confident in his ability to perform whatever responsibilities may be assigned to him. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Asian Champions Trophy: India held to goalless draw by Malaysia
Muscat: Defending Champions India were held to a goalless draw by Malaysia but managed to maintain their pole position in the points table in the Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament.
Both India and the Asian Games Silver medallists Malaysia now have 10 points each from four outings in the preliminary round-robin league, with India topping the standings on basis of a superior goal difference. The Indian team were off to a nervy start as they wasted several scoring opportunities early in the match.
They had a spate of chances early in the contest, only for Hardik Singh to fritter away a scoring opportunity. Harmanpreet Singh's penalty corner flick was blocked by the Malaysian goalkeeper and Mandeep failed to get a touch on long diagonal ball. It happened twice in the first quarter.
Malaysia created one opening on a counter-attack, but mostly fell back to defend their goal against the Indian strikers.
In the second half, the Indian strikers were not allowed space to enter the circle until the closing stages, when they forced two penalty corners but could not produce a goal-bearing shot.
This was a period when Malaysia were down to 10 players as Tengku Tajuddin was shown the yellow card for a deliberate foul on Indian Captain Manpreet Singh.
Nilakanta Sharma missed the target by inches in one of the combined Indian raids. Indian Chief Coach Harendra Singh rued the missed chances.
"I am not happy. We cannot miss chances like this in international hockey," said Harendra.
Malaysian coach Roelant Oltmans said his team faced a tough time when they were down to 10 players due to Tajuddin's yellow card.
"We came under some pressure in the last phase after the yellow card," said Oltmans.
"Otherwise, the game was more of less what we expected." On Wednesday, the Indian team will play their fifth round robin match against Korea. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Federer routs Thiem, keeps chances alive
London: Swiss great Roger Federer bounced back quickly from a disappointing loss at the ATP Finals, brushing aside Dominic Thiem 6-2, 6-3 here to keep his hopes alive at this elite, year-end event.
Two days after a surprising 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 loss Sunday to Japan's Kei Nishikori in his first match in Group Lleyton Hewitt, the third-ranked Federer on Tuesday came out on court at the O2 Arena eager to get back on track and quickly asserted his superiority, reports Efe.
Thiem, the 2018 French Open runner-up, seemed overwhelmed by the occasion and by the opportunity to hand Federer a second loss that would have bounced him out of this tournament at the round-robin phase for the first time since 2008.
The Austrian made far too many unforced errors (34 in total), including botched easy volleys close the net. He also rarely made any impression with his signature weapon - the one-handed backhand.
Federer snagged his first service break in the third game of the match and never looked back.
A big key for the Swiss was his play on serve, as he did not face a single break point during the one-hour, seven-minute match and won 86 percent of his first-serve points and 81 percent of his second-serve points.
Thiem, who also was broken in the seventh game of the first set and the first and last games of the second set, won a respectable 50 percent of his second-serve points but just 56 percent of his first-serve points.
Meanwhile, Federer has hit back at claims he gets preferential treatment from tennis tournaments due to his status as one of the sport's all-time greats.
Federer was responding to controversial comments from French veteran Julien Benneteau, who said the 20-Grand Slam champion was able to use his reputation to secure favourable scheduling.
Benneteau offered Federer's matches at the last two Australian Opens as evidence, suggesting the Swiss star was granted his preference to play in the evening session to avoid the blistering Melbourne heat.
"Over the last two Australian Opens, he played 14 matches, because he was champion and finalist. And he played 12 or 13 of them in the night session," Benneteau told France's RMC Sport recently.
"On the same day Federer played Jan-Lennard Struff, Novak Djokovic played Gael Monfils." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Real Madrid leads UEFA rankings
Madrid: Real Madrid heads the rankings of the UEFA club coefficients at the end of 2018, while Spain's La Liga led the UEFA association club standings by football's governing body.
The Spanish club, winner of the last three UEFA Champions League editions, surpassed second-placed Bayern Munich and third-placed Barcelona in the five-year coefficient used for the seeding which was released on Tuesday, reports Efe.
Real Madrid, which also won the FIFA Club World Cup on Saturday, topped the rankings of the 10-year coefficient, used for the distribution of revenue, coming in ahead of Barcelona and Bayern, respectively.
Atletico Madrid came in fourth in both the five-year and 10-year coefficient rankings.
Spain's La Liga also held the top spot in the UEFA association club rankings of both five-year coefficient and the current season only. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Rouhani dubs plot to end Iran oil exports 'just a US fantasy'
Geneva: A plan by the United States to cut Iran's oil production to zero is a "fantasy," Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday during his European tour to rally support for the 2015 nuclear deal.
Washington has said it wants to pressure Iran to change its behaviour by taking away all revenue Tehran generates from crude sales, part of the confrontational approach adopted by President Donald Trump, who pulled out of the historic nuclear pact in May.
"These are exaggerated statements that can never be implemented," Rouhani told reporters in Bern, after holding talks with Swiss authorities on a range of issues, including the nuclear deal.
"Such a scenario would mean the US was imposing its imperialist policy in flagrant violation of international law," he said.
"This is really a baseless fantasy," he added, condemning an "unjust" scenario where all oil producers are allowed to export crude except Iran.
Washington has said it is confident the world has enough spare oil capacity to replace Iranian crude, and Trump has said that he has persuaded Saudi Arabia to balance the market by boosting its own production.
The international community still overwhelmingly backs the nuclear deal which opened new opportunities to deepen economic relations with Iran. But many believe nations will have to sever ties once Washington reimposes sanctions, to avoid losing access to US markets and financing. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
On the track of Portimao, in Portugal, the spotlights turned on on the European Championship CIK-FIA KF category, the first of three appontiments of the championship that will touch even the boundaries of England and Sweden.
A weekend that did not follow the plans of the Polish driver from Krakow, Karol Basz, who was victim of an accident. The event, which affected significantly the final result, took place during the pre-final, when Jordon Lennox-Lamb, the driver that Karol was trying to overtake, closed the bearer of the Kosmic Racing Team towards the corner. The Polish driver was forced to retirement due to important damages reported. Without getting caught up in despair, the bearer pink-blue Kosmic team put together a good comeback, recovering until the thirteenth final position, after having started from the 29th placement and finishing at 11″ from the winner, racing at 2” from best lap of the race.
“It was an unlucky weekend, conditioned especially by the accident in the pre-final that forced me to start backwards, from the 29th position, in the Final. Unfortunately, the chassis was not 100% OK, but despite this, I was able to recover up to 13th position in the Final, scoring good lap time. There’s still the satisfaction with the seventh place in Qualifying Heats”, the driver of Minardi Management, Karol Basz, comments.
“If we look purely at the result, it was not the weekend we expected. Unfortunately, the incident in the pre-final affected the entire weekend, forcing Karol to start from the bottom in the Final and with not perfect frame. However, I have to congratulate him for the great recovery and the Kosmic Racing team of Olivier Marechal for the excellent work in the development of the material. In this season, tyres will be a very important and they’re showing to have the right balance”, Alberto Tonti analyses.
Thanks to the scored points, Karol greeted Portugal with the tenth place in standings, turning his mind directly to the next challenge: England, International – on June the 21st. “We are only at the beginning. In England we will start again from the tenth position, with the aim to regain all lost ground here in Portugal, in order to race for the Final victory in Sweden”, Minardi Kart Supervisor concludes.

Why take Mium Lab tanning gummies?
The dangers of tanning
Who hasn't dreamt of having a beautiful tan when returning from their holidays, or even throughout the year? But be careful, exposing yourself to the sun for hours without taking precautions or even going for an artificial tan is not the right option!
UV rays from the sun or tanning booths can have harmful effects on our skin. Repeated sunburn and exposure to the sun can accelerate skin ageing and cancers such as melanomas.
But in addition to this, the eyes can be damaged by UV light, contributing to early onset cataract or macular degeneration.
How can you safely work on your tan?
Is it possible to get a nice tan without risking your health? Yes! But you should take certain precautions.
The first piece of advice to follow is not to give in to tanning booths! Of course it's a quick way to get a tan, but it's also very harmful since UVA rays are used and penetrate much deeper than those of the sun.
There are other essential tips to follow such as using sun cream regularly and reapplying it every 2 hours, avoiding exposure between 12 noon and 4pm, and protecting your head and eyes.
Tanning food supplements are also a good option to limit skin ageing while promoting a tanned complexion to limit prolonged exposure to the sun!
How do you choose tanning food supplements?
A good tanning food supplement must contain active ingredients that promote the production of melanin, a pigment that gives the skin its dark colour, such as Beta-carotene or Copper. But it must also protect the skin from the sun with an antioxidant effect that limits cell ageing (such as beta-carotene or Astaxanthin).
The eyes are also exposed to UV rays; food supplements with active ingredients that protect the retina (such as Lutein) are therefore recommended. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Sacroiliac Joint: Dysfunction and Discovery, Part Two.
Our first publication on the sacroiliac joint looked at the history of the problem and the signs and symptoms that are associated with this increasingly common back complaint. Those symptoms include:
- Pain in one side of the back. From the Lower back and tailbone, into the outer hip and groin. Pain is usually ‘dull’ and annoying but rarely moves down the leg or up the body.
- Pain that is worse in the morning, but gets better as the day goes on.
- Pain that is notably worse with sitting but can be aggravated by certain activities such as running-or any activity that involves running or high-intensity bipedal movement. Pain can also increase going from sitting to standing, but goes away once standing upright.
- SIJ pain is likely linked to one leg being longer than the other (this can also be the cause of the muscles being imbalanced).
One simple diagnostic test for SIJ pain you can try is the active straight leg raise (ASLR. See the featured image on this publication).
Lying on your back with your legs outstretched, raise one straight leg roughly 20 inches off the ground and back down slowly, repeat this movement ten times on each leg. If this movement brings on your back pain then the SIJ is the cause. Furthermore, the ASLR should make your core ‘work’. If you feel the core muscles working, then you have a healthy SIJ. If the SIJ is dysfunctional you wont just feel your back pain but you may feel feel your hip or thigh doing the lifting rather than your core. Try ‘activating’ your core (pull your tummy in as if you’re you’re trying to get into a tight pair of jeans. Then tense your tummy like you are about to be punched. It’s the best core exercise around!!) Repeat the ASLR. If your back pain is gone core strengthening is a must so solve the issue!
Sometimes however, core activation wont remove your back pain. Don’t fret, it could be your gluteal muscles in need of help. Lying on your back, tighten-up/squeeze your gluteal muscles and repeat the ASLR. If your back pain is gone, butt strengthening is for you!
So this shows that reversing the effects of back pain that originates from the SIJ is easy and quick. It’s going to involve either core or gluteal strengthening. In the final part of our overview of SIJ pain we look at the influence of the hip joint on SIJ pain, how to identify if you have a hip problem and what to do.
In the meantime, if you think you need more help with SIJ pain, drop us a line or book an appointment by clicking on the icon at the top of the screen.

Thessaloniki PhotoΒiennale 2023: Photography on October!
The Thessaloniki Photobiennale is on its way, from October 10, 2023 until February 11, 2024, with more than 100 photographers from 18 countries participating and presenting their work in a multi-thematic programme of 25 exhibitions, open public events and educational programmes hosted in 19 museums, cultural venues and art venues in Thessaloniki and Athens.
The Thessaloniki Photobiennale 2023, organised by the MOMus-Thessaloniki Museum of Photography and supported by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, completes its thirty-sixth anniversary and is one of the oldest photography festivals in Europe. It is an important stage for the presentation of contemporary and historical Greek photography while being a vital crossroad with the international scene. This year’s festival runs
The main exhibition of the Thessaloniki Photobiennale 2023, “The Spectre of the People”, explores populism through photography and video and will be presented in MOMus-Thessaloniki Museum of Photography and MOMus-Experimental Center for the Arts, in Warehouse A’, Pier A’, Thessaloniki Port, from October 20, 2023, until February 11, 2024, curated by the art historian and photography theorist, Julian Stalabrass.
As the spectre of populism stalks the Earth, artists have grappled with its myriad dimensions: how and if to represent ‘the people’ (should they be thought to exist), and to represent democratic power, the nature of charismatic leaders, and popular protest and insurgency. The media of the lens, woven tightly around the history of mass politics since its inception, have been a natural field for this artistic exploration, which is variously documentary, performative, satrirical and conceptual.
In the presented works by 26 photographers and groups, we explore questions like: who are ‘the people’, can they be grasped visually, are they the source of hope or dread, how are they condensed in the figures of their would-be leaders, and how do they assemble and behave in political protest? Who stands -- or is put -- outside ‘the people’, in terms of rights, living conditions and representation? And how are the visual aspects of political performance employed in the political fallout, to right, left and otherwise, from the crisis of the neoliberal centre?
Like the phenomenon of populism, born out of profound political crisis, the exhibition has a global ambit, contrasting works from artists working in nations including Brazil, Greece, Hungary, India, Italy, the Philippines, Poland, Ukraine, the UK and the US. This only makes the elusive concept of populism as it spans both the left-right divide, and that between mass participation and authoritarian rule, harder to tie down.

In the programme of the Thessaloniki Photobiennale 2023 to be announced, exhibitions of archival interest, historical and contemporary, group and individual, first-time and established photographers, the recording of the domestic photobook in the last twenty years, along with parallel events, educational programmes and guided tours will take place.
All MOMus museums participate in the Thesslaoniki Photobiennale 2023 for the first time since the launch of the organisation on 2018, and is warmly supported by cultural bodies and organisations of Thessaloniki and Greece. Now living in an environment with the consequences of the health crisis that the pandemic left in the last three years present everywhere, now faced with other types of crises, such as the climate or even wars, photography is the medium that captures the not so optimistic reality, at the same time creating occasions for lively and active thinking about hope for the future that already here.

French expatriates abroad are often talked about, but little is said to be the other way around. Yet they have something to tell us about our society and bring a refreshing vision.
Thanks to the study “Expatriates in France: tell us about your life” carried out by Paris 21 in September 2014, we could learn some lessons from the opinions of foreign expatriates.
For 72% of them, integration into their new team has been experienced in a positive way. But we can see that many complain about the cumbersome procedures (88%) but also their hierarchy, too heavy (75%) or not communicating enough (75% also).
Regarding daily life and the French in general, 30% of the expatriates consider their reception to be unsatisfactory… The clichés about the French have therefore probably a background of truth, because they are considered arrogant and unfriendly to 79% but also and above all good living at 66%. The main difficulty faced by expatriates in France is the mastery of the language (44%), which is not surprising considering that the French are a little behind in this area. In the end, 80% of them say that what they prefer the least in France… It’s human relationships! Sad observation that reveals a lot about the efforts to be made for the French …
But let’s be reassured! They love the quality of life, the food and the French culture!
In any case, if you also want to test expatriation and make your own opinion on the customs of a new country, do not forget your expat insurance 1st euro ! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator translates the human knowledge of creating a MongoDB instance into a scalable, repeatable, and standardized method. Kubernetes needs help creating and managing stateful applications like databases. It needs to configure the network, persist storage, and dedicate computing capacity without additional human effort on each container.
The Kubernetes Operator manages the typical lifecycle events for a MongoDB cluster: provisioning storage and computing power, configuring network connections, setting up users, and changing these settings as needed. It accomplishes this using the Kubernetes API and tools.
You provide the MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator with the specifications for your MongoDB cluster. The MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator uses this information to specify to Kubernetes how to configure that cluster including provisioning storage, setting up the network connections, and configuring other resources.
The MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator works together with MongoDB Cloud Manager or Ops Manager, which further configures to MongoDB clusters. When MongoDB is deployed and running in Kubernetes, you can manage MongoDB tasks using Cloud Manager or Ops Manager.
You can then deploy MongoDB databases as you deploy them now after the cluster is created. You can use the Cloud Manager or Ops Manager console to run MongoDB at optimal performance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Veteran pass rusher Bruce Irvin is set to make his debut in a Detroit Lions uniform in Week 13. The team elevated Irvin and defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna from the practice squad for Sunday’s matchup with the New Orleans Saints.
Irvin was signed to the practice squad in November but has not been elevated until this week. With the Lions pass rush struggling of late–only two sacks in three games–moving up Irvin is worth the try.
Bohanna has filled in capably in being elevated the last two games. If the Lions wish to play the big nose tackle again beyond Week 13, they’ll need to add him to the active roster.
The Lions also announced that injured LB Alex Anzalone did not travel with the team and was downgraded from doubtful to out, as was widely expected. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
