It was a beautiful week. The nights have cooled, and the days aren’t scorching. It rained, and then again. After a few rounds of blast furnace conditions, we have become heat-hardened, and are unphased by mere 90 degree days. Lightning bugs are sending their morse code dot dash signals in the dusk shadows. Mosquitoes are devoured by dragonflies in the sunlight and whippoorwills in the darkness of night. The breeze keeps the survivors at bay, other than a few that are met by the satisfying snap crackling magic of modern technology – tennis racket bug zappers.
We have a helper this week; California Ava has harvested for the CSA, weeded the corn, mulched the potatoes, and transplanted the fall broccoli and cauliflower. The potatoes look great, the tomatoes plants stretch up and out with promise that we can almost let ourselves believe,
Of course, it’s not all agates and bioluminescence. We planted a row of sweet potatoes in the high tunnel this year instead of okra. We were excited. So were the critters. At first we blamed ground squirrels, and then a rabbit. Even a turkey was a suspect. But it turned out to be our old familiar rodent nemesis; the local vole colony. They’ve eaten twenty-five plants off at the main stem so far, and avoided all efforts to trap them. Every day we count the empty spots, and every day the number grows. I hope they’re enjoying it, because for us it quite sucks; even the silver lining sad … this way, we won’t have false hope all season watching the plants spread and sprawl, only to find vole tunnels right through the sweet potatoes when we go to harvest in the fall.
The weeds … well, I’d say we are in balance. There’s room for both of us in this town, and both the crops and the weeds are thriving. We can’t kill ’em all – weeds or voles. We coexist, setting boundaries where we must, and singing “que sera, sera” where we cannot.
My fingers smell like garlic and my toes are stained with soil. I loved my city life, but I have never missed it since coming out here to the Farm to live in the seasons, on the land, with my people, close to the ground.
It’s wonderful to share the bounty with you all. Speaking of which, here’s …
What’s in Box Three
Salad – Six kinds of lettuce, and some spinach that somehow didn’t bolt in the heat.
Kohlrabi – You either know it, or it’s that weird thing that you are confused by. You could do all kinds of things with it. but for now maybe savor it in simplicity; sliced and eaten raw, with perhaps a little pepper and salt.
Spring Onions – so so versatile. We miss them all winter long.
Radish Pods – Zippy zips! Some milder, some spicier. You could probably sautee them, I’ve heard of them fermented or fridge pickled, but we just eat ours raw. Experiment and let us know what worked!
Kale – scarlet and blue curly, dino, and a few leaves that Marty accidentally took off of a broccoli plant
Red Cabbage Microgreens – color, flavor, nutrients, cool points.
Garlic Chives & Scapes – add the chives to a dish when you’re almost done cooking it (so the delicate flavor remains). Make a salad dressing, like an herb. Can do the same with the stronger tasting scapes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Each Friday, I plan to share my "Favorites" from the week. These could be interesting articles I would like to share with you, recipes, funny memes, inspirational quotes and more.
Laura Clery. Laura is a comedienne who posts hilarious videos. My son and I were dying laughing and stayed up way too late watching some of her recent videos. The Halloween costume one is a MUST-WATCH! She also has a book out!
Dr. William Li. I recently enjoyed a podcast featuring Dr. Li. It was so educational that I ended up purchasing his book, "Eat to Beat Disease" on Audible and am now voraciously listening to it! I had an Audible credit which allowed me to get it for free. I will likely end up wanting my own paper copy as well in the future. Dr. Li gives incredible insight into ongoing studies about rejuvenating and renewing our stem cells and bodies. Definitely check out his website to learn more and get his book here.
Panera app. We all love food right and perhaps we all love Panera, too! I recently downloaded the Panera app because I heard you could place your order and just pick it up. Yes, you absolutely can do that and it is amazing, but ALSO on the app, you can easily sort the food by "Plant Based." It is genius. Then you aren't scrolling endlessly through all the options when you know you just want a plant based option. So smart - download it in your app store today!
Beekeepers Naturals. I know I have raved about their B-Powered superfood honey in the past, but this week, I have to give a shout out to the Throat Propolis spray. The kids and I have been battling a cold this week and having the easy spritz of this throat spray has been a saving grace. It's quick, easy, and tastes good so I don't get too many complaints from the kids. Try it out at my affiliate link here.
Matcha. I have not always loved matcha - the green powder that is created when green tea leaves are powder-ized. However, with the slight illness hitting me this week, I decided to try matcha again. It has immune-boosting properties and helps your cells regenerate. Instead of just drinking it plain as a tea (which I did not love), I added it to my morning blueberry-spinach-pineapple smoothie. It added just a hint of earthiness and I got all that antioxidant power into my morning routine! I am definitely going to stick with this smoothie addition. You can try a sample for a pretty great price here.
And, that's Your Friday Favorites Fix! (who doesn't love alliteration?) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Please pray for the repose of the soul of
Father Patrick O'Leary
who died on 17th June 2022 in St Peter's Home, Vauxhall
May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
Fr O’Leary’s Funeral Mass will be celebrated by the Archbishop in St George’s Cathedral at 2 pm on Wednesday 17 August, followed by Committal at Honor Oak Crematorium.
The Funeral will be live-streamed from 1.50 pm via the RC Southwark YouTube account: https://youtu.be/jdOuUFN-ZvA
Fr O'Leary was appointed as Dean of Maidstone and was inspired by the Vatican II document on Communications in the Modern World, Inter mirifica: he was something of a pioneer in the field of Church communications, and specifically local broadcast media within the Archdiocese of Southwark.
Supporting our Sick and Retired Clergy
Our clergy usually retire at 75 years of age, although some continue in active ministry into their 80s, whilst others are forced to retire due to ill-health. The Archdiocese of Southwark has a duty of care for their well-being after a lifetime of service: if you would like to consider supporting our clergy at their time of need you can read about the Clergy Support Fund and donate here | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Specially Sarah was a book I bought as a child as I identified with Sarah in terms of her age and position in the family; I have consequently kept it on my shelves. Authors on my shelves that I have bought more recently include Jodi Piccoult, Tess Gerritsen and David Nicholas. Some books are only found on my ‘to be read shelf’ and once read, are passed to someone else directly or via a charity shop.
I attend a book club in Sheffield to broaden my reading from what I would naturally choose; recent books include To the Lighthouse by Virgina Woolf and A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. Through the book club I found out about digital fiction and viewed the Digital Fiction “Wallpaper” and Blast Theory’s Karen app. This led to me attending the Reading on Screen workshop. Although finding out about digital fiction has been interesting, at present I will continue buying physical rather than electronic books. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Developers need to select an appropriate solvent system for dissolving a sample. They should also choose a suitable separation mode, such as reversed phase chromatography or Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography (HILIC). A detection principle should also be chosen – for example, for UV or visible light, detection wavelength should be selected. UV detection is preferred if the analytes contain a UV chromophore due to the widespread availability of UV detectors in QC laboratories.
In an article with Pharm Tech, our Analytical Chemist Anders Mörtberg, discusses the key stages to method development. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
What are Whistleblower Rights and Protections?
Fraudulent, unfair, dangerous, exploitative, and downright illegal behavior can go on at public institutions and private companies for long periods of time before anyone does anything to stop it. When the public finds out, they often wonder why no one said anything sooner. Greed is too simple an explanation because hundreds, if not thousands, of employees stay silent about the misconduct while only a few people truly get rich off of it. More often, the motivation to stay silent is fear. Employees fear that if they speak out against the misconduct, they will lose their jobs or worse; we have all heard the saying “snitches get stitches.” Federal and state laws offer whistleblower rights and protections to those who stand up to workplace misconduct and report it to regulatory bodies. To find out more about how the law protects you from whistleblower retaliation, contact a New Jersey whistleblowing and retaliation lawyer.
The Conscientious Employee Protection Act
In employment law, protected activities are actions that employees are free to do without fear of their employers punishing them for them, such as by firing them, refusing them a promotion, or harassing them at work. Examples of protected activities include filing a workers’ compensation claim and requesting disability accommodations, among others. A New Jersey law called the Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) defines a wide variety of whistleblower actions as protected activities. It aims to protect anything employees do to stop fraudulent and illegal actions by their employers, as well as actions that endanger the public. These are some examples of activities protected under CEPA:
- Refusing to participate in the employer’s objectionable actions
- Reporting the misconduct to a work supervisor or regulatory body
- Participating in an official investigation into the employer’s conduct
CEPA also offers specific protections for healthcare workers who observe conduct in their workplaces that violates standards of patient care.
Other Protections for New Jersey Workers Who Report Misconduct
CEPA is not the only law that protects workers who report employer misconduct, including but not limited to workplace safety violations and discrimination. Depending on the nature of the misconduct, you might be protected under any of the following laws:
The New Jersey Supreme Court decision Pierce v. Ortho Pharmaceutical Corp also outlines protections against retaliation for whistleblower employees. Regardless of which law they invoke, workplace whistleblowers have the right to file a claim against an employer who retaliated against them for a whistleblower action. They can seek reinstatement of their jobs, compensation for lost income, and other remedies.
Contact a Lawyer About Whistleblower Retaliation Cases
Do not let your employer intimidate you from exercising your legal rights. A whistleblower retaliation lawyer can help guide you through the process of reporting misconduct that you witness at your workplace and dealing with the fallout. Contact McOmber McOmber & Luber to discuss your case. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

How to Find Hidden Gems at Your Local Discontinued Tile Outlet
If you’re a home improvement enthusiast or a DIYer, discovering the world of discontinued tile outlets can be like striking gold. These outlets offer unique styles and often unbeatable prices on tiles that are no longer in production. In this article, we’ll explore how to uncover hidden gems at your local discontinued tile outlet, ensuring you find the perfect tiles for your next project without breaking the bank.
What is a Discontinued Tile Outlet?
A discontinued tile outlet is a retail establishment that specializes in selling tiles that manufacturers have stopped producing. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as changing trends in design, overstock from previous collections, or simply the end of a product line. These outlets are often stocked with high-quality materials at significantly reduced prices compared to traditional retail stores. Customers can score incredible deals on unique styles and colors that may not be available anywhere else.
Why Shop at Discontinued Tile Outlets?
Shopping at discontinued tile outlets offers several advantages over conventional retailers. First and foremost is cost savings; these outlets often provide discounts ranging from 30% to 70%, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious homeowners. Additionally, since these tiles are limited in availability, shoppers can find one-of-a-kind pieces that add character and charm to their spaces. Lastly, purchasing from these outlets helps reduce waste by giving unused stock another chance to shine in homes instead of ending up in landfills.
Tips for Finding Hidden Gems
To maximize your chances of finding hidden gems at your local outlet, consider visiting frequently since inventory changes regularly. Arriving early when new shipments are expected can lead you to fresh finds before they’re picked over by other shoppers. Don’t hesitate to ask staff about upcoming sales or special promotions—they often have insider knowledge about what’s coming next. Furthermore, keep an open mind; sometimes unexpected colors or patterns may surprise you and fit perfectly into your design vision.
Practical Considerations When Shopping
While hunting for hidden gems is exciting, there are practical considerations as well. Be sure to measure your space accurately before shopping so you know how much tile you’ll need—this prevents impulse purchases that might lead to regret later on if quantities don’t match up with project requirements. Also consider durability; although many discontinued tiles are high quality and built-to-last, it’s essential to inquire about their suitability for specific areas (like wet rooms or high-traffic spaces). Finally, always check return policies before finalizing any purchases—this will give you peace of mind as you plan your design projects.
Exploring a local discontinued tile outlet can yield not only significant savings but also artistic opportunities for creating stunning environments within your home. By knowing what these outlets offer and following some strategic shopping tips outlined above, you’ll confidently navigate through racks of beautiful tiles ready to transform any room into something extraordinary.

NASA hires 24 theologians including priest to prepare humans for possible alien discovery
Rev Dr Andrew Davidson, a priest and theologian at University of Cambridge, is among 24 theologians to have taken part in the programme, reported Daily Mail.
US space agency NASA has hired a British priest in a bid to understand how the discovery of extraterrestrials would change the way we see the universe. According to Daily Mail, Rev Dr Andrew Davidson, a priest and theologian at the University of Cambridge, is among 24 theologians to have taken part in a NASA-sponsored programme at the Center for Technological Inquiry (CTI) at Princeton in the US. The programme aims to assess how the world’s major religions would react to the news that life exists in worlds beyond our own.
As per the media outlet, CTI has described it as building “bridges of under understanding by convening theologians, scientists, scholars, and policymakers to think together - and inform public thinking - on global concerns”. It aims to answer questions such as ‘Where do we draw the line between the human and the alien? And What are the possibilities for sentient life in other places?’
In a blog post, Rev Dr Andrew Davison said that religious traditions would be an important feature in how humanity would work through any such confirmations of life elsewhere. “Because of that, it features as part of NASA’s ongoing aim to support work on ‘the societal implications of astrobiology,’ working with various partner organisations, including the Centre of Theological Inquiry at Princeton,” Davison added. The British priest revealed that he is now set to publish a book next year, titled ‘Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine’, which notes that the world is getting closer to finding life on other planets.
Separately, Carl Pilcher, head of NASA's Astrobiology Institute until 2016, said that the programme is considering the implications of applying the tools of the late 20th and early 21st-century science to questions that have been considered in religious traditions for hundreds of years. Pilcher added that the possibility of discovering alien life is very high, as there are more than 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
Alien contact could be 'extremely dangerous'
Meanwhile, it is to mention that earlier this year physicist Mark Buchanan wrote a piece in the Washington Post in which he said trying to establish contact with aliens could be “extremely dangerous” and could also possibly “end the life on earth”. It should be noted here that scientists around the world have not denied signs of life beyond the solar system.
According to a report by the International Business Times, there are several alien abduction tales on the internet, most of which appear to be staged hoaxes. There are, however, some gripping stories that still remain unanswered. Chris Jones, a researcher with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), suggested a few weeks ago that alien abduction accounts reported by people from all around the world could be true.

The Rumble in the Jungle
The Rumble in the Jungle was a historic boxing event in 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo). Held at the 20th of May Stadium on the morning of October 30, 1974, it pitted the undefeated world heavyweight champion George Foreman against challenger Muhammad Ali, a former heavyweight champion. Ali won by knockout, putting Foreman down just before the end of the eighth round. It has been called "arguably the greatest sporting event of the 20th century".
The event was one of Don King's first ventures as a professional boxing promoter. He managed to get Ali and Foreman to sign separate contracts saying they would fight for him if he could get a $5 million purse. However, King did not have the money, so he began looking for an outside country to sponsor the event. Zaire's president Mobutu Sésé Seko asked for the fight to be held in his country, eager for the publicity such a high-profile event would bring. King had pulled together a consortium that included a Panamanian company called Risnelia Investment, the Hemdale Film Corporation, a British company founded by film producer John Daly and the actor David Hemmings, Video Techniques Incorporated of New York and Don King Productions. Although King is most closely associated with the fight, it is Hemdale and Video Techniques Inc. with whom King was a director, who were the official co-promoters of the fight.

By the time Rocket Mortgage team member John Hatch went to see his doctor, he was told it may already be too late.
John was completely shocked to learn he had end-stage liver failure. “I was in denial that I could possibly be sick,” he said. As the months wore on, the reality of his diagnosis set in. John lost 85 lbs and became unable to walk or even stand without assistance. He began the painful process of saying goodbye to his family.
John had learned that he was one of 4.5 million Americans suffering from liver disease – the same disease that took the life of his grandmother when she was just 49 years old. Doctors told him his only chance for survival was a liver transplant.
It seemed like a longshot. More than 120,000 people are on the list for life-saving transplants and 20 people die daily because the organ they need is not donated in time. John knew there was a strong possibility he would be in that group.
Miraculously, a match was found through Donate Life, a national nonprofit dedicated to healing lives through transplantation. “I don’t know who my donor was, but I do know she was a 60-year-old woman. She gave me a selfless gift that has given me my life back … six more years and counting.”
John received his liver transplant in 2015. After six weeks of rehab, he was able to get out of his wheelchair and into the gym. He has been exercising almost daily ever since, a feat that would have been impossible before. “I also would not have met my granddaughter without the transplant,” he said. “I’m much more aware and appreciative of all my blessings.” The experience quite literally gave him a new take on life, and he wanted to pay it forward.
Going All In to Spread Awareness
About a year after receiving his liver transplant, Hatch attended his first volunteer training meeting for Donate Life. Soon after, he began volunteering with two organizations in his area: Life Link and Life Alliance, which are branches of the national nonprofit.
Following his training, John began manning booths at local health fairs, marathons, hospitals and anywhere else there was a platform to spread awareness. Prior to the pandemic, John also spoke at several events to share his experience and educate audiences about the benefits of organ donation. He has continued telling his story during the pandemic, connecting with hospitals and educational institutions via Zoom. “It’s amazing how many families in this country have been or will be directly affected by organ transplantation at some point in their lives,” John said. “The more people that are educated on the process, the better off we’ll be.”
The Rock Family of Companies encourages team members to get out and volunteer or fundraise to make an impact in their communities. This includes offering team members unlimited volunteer time off for both in-person and virtual volunteer opportunities sponsored by hundreds of nonprofit partners. Additionally, team members receive eight hours of paid time off for 501c3 organizations outside the company that they wish to support. Since he began working here 18 months ago, John has taken advantage of these resources to spread awareness about organ donation.
John continues to use his volunteer time off to support the organization that saved his life. He is grateful to his donor for ‘being [my] miracle,’ as well as the doctors, nurses and his family who supported his journey along the way.
John’s incredible recovery and subsequent commitment to organ donation is an inspiration and an important reminder that we all have unique stories to tell. At the Rocket Community Fund, we are proud to provide a range of opportunities that allow our team members to support the causes they are most passionate about. It’s just one of the ways that we show how we’re all in for our communities. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

King Charles could have one less country where he is head of state come 2025.
Jamaica is set to remove the King as its head of state by next year.
The country’s state foreign minister, Alando Terrelonge, said the move will allow Jamaica to be “truly liberated” after the country was under the rule of the British monarchy for 350 years.
In an exclusive interview with The Independent, he said: “We remain hopeful that by 2025 we would have completed those reforms and removed the British monarch as the head of our democracy.”
Terrelonge added that “notwithstanding it being a figurehead and that real power resides with the government of Jamaica and the people of Jamaica.”
He also remarked: “I’ve always maintained that we owe it to our ancestors who fought and died so that we could be free, we owe it to the framers of our constitution, the work done by our national heroes, for Jamaica to now walk as truly liberated and independent.”
In 2022, Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced Jamaica’s intentions to remove the monarch as head of state while the Prince and Princess of Wales were in the country on a royal tour.
To succeed in becoming a republic, the Constitution of Jamaica Bill must be passed by both houses of Parliament with a two-thirds vote. A referendum will then follow where the majority of people who are registered to vote will choose whether or not to become a republic.
The next general election in Jamaica is in 2025. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If you are a Flushing renter and own a service or emotional support animal, it is vital to determine your rights. Numerous renters are uninformed that they can keep a service or emotional support animal in their rental homes, irrespective of the property owner’s rules. This blog post will examine the laws that protect renters who have service or emotional support animals. We will also give tips on communicating with your property owner if there is an issue with keeping your service or emotional support animal in your home.
What is a service or emotional support animal, and what rights do you have under the law?
Service animals are defined as animals trained to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities. These activities can include but are not limited to guiding people who are blind, informing people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and safeguarding a person who is having a seizure, or relaxing a person with post-traumatic stress disorder.
An emotional support animal does not need to be trained to perform a specific service to provide benefits to its owners. Numerous companion animals can qualify as emotional support animals as long as you have a letter from your medical provider or therapist that confirms you need the animal.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service animals are permitted in public places, including rental homes. Emotional support animals are not protected under the ADA but are allowed in rental homes, even if a landlord has a “no pet” policy. Service and emotional support animals are not considered pets under the law, and therefore, property owners cannot charge pet fees or deposits for them.
How to handle deposits, fees, and other costs associated with having a service or emotional support animal.
If you have a service or emotional support animal, you are not obliged to pay any pet fees or deposits. On the other hand, you may be accountable for damages caused by your animal. For instance, if your animal chews on furniture or urinates on the flooring, or if you forgot to clean up the animal’s waste, you will probably be charged for those repairs. It is crucial to have a conversation with your property owner about your service or emotional support animal before signing a lease. This can help minimize misunderstandings about your rights and responsibilities as a renter.
Other landlords may request that you show proof of insurance for your service or emotional support animal. This is not mandated by law, but it is something you should be prepared to address with your Flushing property manager.
What to do if your landlord tries to evict you for having a service or emotional support animal.
Imagine your landlord wants to evict you (or refuses to rent to you) for having a service or emotional support animal. In such a situation, you may have grounds to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The department’s Civil Rights Division enforces the Fair Housing Act, which forbids discrimination in housing based on disability.
You can also file a complaint with your state’s attorney general’s office or the human rights commission. These agencies may examine your complaint and take legal action against your landlord if they discover that you’re being discriminated against.
If you are experiencing eviction because of your service or emotional support animal, it is crucial to seek legal help as early as possible. An experienced attorney can help you know your rights and options under the law.
Resources for further information on renters’ rights and service or emotional support animals.
For more information on your rights as a renter, you can call the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD enforces the Fair Housing Act and can investigate complaints of discrimination in housing.
You may also discover more information on service and emotional support animals at the ADA National Network website. The ADA National Network is a way to get information and technical emotional support on the Americans with Disabilities Act.
You and your service or emotional support animal can live a happy life in your rental home by understanding your privileges. But if your landlord is standing in the way of your rights, it might be time to move to a place managed by professionals who know and follow the law. Browse our listings for service animal-friendly rental homes in your area.

Charleston, SC- The President’s Budget for fiscal 2013 (FY13) was released today and included more than $21 million for the civil works program of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District.
The President’s Budget included $3.5 million for the Charleston Harbor Post 45 feasibility study. Last week, the FY12 work plan was released including $2.5 million for the study. These funds will allow the Charleston District to continue work on the feasibility study. The public comment period for project scoping closed this past Friday. The District is reviewing the comments received in the context of formulating alternatives to address the opportunities to make the transportation of commodities through Charleston Harbor more efficient.
The FY13 budget allocated more than $15.8 million for maintaining the Charleston Harbor, which the District has been doing for more than 130 years. Channel maintenance is key to the nation’s economic well-being, with 94% of the nation’s overseas commerce being carried on these federally maintained channels. Last year, President Obama announced a goal to double exports over the next five years, with the vast majority of this increased commerce being moved on our nation’s federal channels.
“The Charleston District is excited to continue working on the Post 45 feasibility study as we look at the effects of deepening Charleston Harbor in anticipation of the new ships being constructed due to a deeper and wider Panama Canal and the globalization of trade,” said Lt. Col. Ed Chamberlayne, Commander and District Engineer. “We have already been working diligently to streamline our process in order to shorten our timeline. We stand by our commitment to doing everything we can to complete this process as quickly and efficiently as possible while abiding by the laws we must follow and ensuring we adequately consider all the environmental aspects of the project.”
The Edisto Island storm damage reduction feasibility study also received $328,000. The District hopes to use this funding to complete the study in FY13.
The Folly Beach project received $400,000 to develop plans and speculations for the next renourishment of the federal storm damage reduction study.
The President’s Budget focuses constrained resources on the highest-performing projects, leaving some with less funding. The Corps’ final budget is what is passed by Congress and usually signed by the President in the fall.
“The Charleston District takes great pride in supporting the Administration’s budget for our work throughout South Carolina and beyond,” added Chamberlayne. “We will use the funds we were given in the President’s Budget efficiently and effectively to complete our missions and provide quality service to South Carolina and the nation.”
The Charleston District uses the announcement of the President’s Budget to begin planning for FY13 and determining what steps can be taken on each project. Congress will now conduct appropriation hearings through the end of May to discuss the budget submitted by President Obama. Appropriations bills for FY13 will be developed and approved by Congress from June through September, at which point the President will then sign the FY13 appropriations into law, finalizing the budget. The 2013 fiscal year officially begins October 1, 2012.
The Army civil works budget funds the planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance of projects, and focuses on the highest performing projects and programs within three main civil works mission areas: commercial navigation, flood risk management and aquatic ecosystem restoration.
For more information or questions, please contact the Charleston District’s Corporate Communications Office at 843-329-8123.

A Florida police officer was fatally shot when he encountered two people he described as suspicious walking on the street early Saturday morning.
Police say Robert German called for backup, and by the time two other officers arrived at the scene, German was alive but lying on the road. (Via News 13)
NBC reports the responding officers also heard shots fired in the distance while they were with German.
Police later found the bodies of the two unidentified suspects about a block away from the scene. It's believed they committed suicide. Authorities say the suspects are a male and female in their late teens or early 20s. (Via WFTV)
Officers took German to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was 31 years old.
WOFL reports German was the first officer in the suburban town of Windermere to be killed on duty. He was with the force for five years and had recently returned to the job after recovering from shoulder surgery.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, investigators say they believe the confrontation and shooting incident might have been captured on a body camera German was wearing. They're now reportedly analyzing the device.
The identities of the suspects have not been released. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In speed tests of multiple binaries of multiple brands of ransomware, across different hardware and operating system configurations, a new Splunk report determined ransomware is very fast.
With a system of 98,561 files measuring 53.83 GB across 100 directories, the typical ransomware took only around 42 minutes to complete. If you removed two abnormally slow variants (Maze and Mespanoza, only the latter of which is still actively updated), that median rate drops to under half an hour.
That may be too quick for responders to be able to address an attack as it happens, said Ryan Kovar, who heads Splunk's SURGe research group that conducted the study.
"If I'm looking at where to spend time, you know, maybe before the study I said everything is created equally. Now I'm able to say we might want to really focus left of boom because we can have a much bigger impact than detecting just when something executes," he said.
Family | Median Duration (H:M:S) |
LockBit | 00:05:50 |
Babuk | 00:06:34 |
Avaddon | 00:13:15 |
Ryuk | 00:14:30 |
REvil | 00:24:16 |
BlackMatter | 00:43:03 |
Darkside | 00:44:52 |
Conti | 00:59:34 |
Maze | 01:54:33 |
Mespinoza | 01:54:54 |
Average of the medians | 00:42:52 |
The study took times from 10 versions of each ransomware, sometimes to wildly differing results. Babuk, whose median time to complete was 6 minutes, 30 seconds, had one test take over three hours to complete, the longest of any strain.
The difference, said Kovar, may come down to the ebbs and flows of the software development lifecycle.
"One of the things I really enjoyed about this, it was kind of like finding out that they suffer the same software development issues we do. It's like finding out celebrities are just like us at home — you know, look! They shop at Tesco!" he said.
While all the varieties have been operational recently, ransomware has a high rate of turnover, and many are now defunct. Avaddon, REvil, BlackMatter and Darkside, all of which performed well in the testing are all no longer in business. In fact, BlackMatter is a rebranding of Darkside with mild updates — possibly explaining why the two performed with similar speeds.
That does not mean that what is gone can be forgotten. BlackMatter/Darkside has re-emerged as ALPHV (more pronouncably nicknamed Black Cat). Madiant has reported seeing rebranded versions of Avaddon since that group suddenly pulled up stakes.
In the Splunk testing, it would be hard to guess which groups are active or inactive based on speed. One reason for the wild variations comes from ransomware strategy. Where some ransomware encrypts the entire file, ransomware like LockBit only encrypts the beginning of a file. Kovar compares it to the difference between slashing someone's tires and blowing up a car. One is more thorough, but the car does not drive either way.
The Splunk tests ran on both Windows 10- and Server 2019-based AWS machines with different hardware configurations. Researchers were surprised to find that the hardware had little impact on speed. Ransomware was not built to handle multithreading, and in one case faster hardware appeared to cause ransomware to crash.
Splunk notes that LockBit's speed is in line with the ransomware group's dark net sales page. "Truth in advertising, I guess," said Kovar.
Throughout testing, Splunk amassed 200 gigabytes of data they plan to release to the research community at their annual ".conf" event this summer.
"One fun thing about this work is we have now created this very interesting testing harness, and we are looking at continuing research for any new ransomware variants that come out to test against our baseline of samples," said Kovar.
"I think I saw the news the other week that LockBit 3.0 is about to be released. The guys are looking forward to seeing if it's any faster than 1.0 and 2.0." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Nike Beats on Everything but Sales in Latest Earnings Report (21-Month Chart)
Business Journal — Nike Inc. on Tuesday reported $0.68 in quarterly earnings per share, well ahead of the $0.53 expected by analysts, but its $8.43 billion in quarterly sales, a 5 percent increase, came up just short of the $8.47 billion expected.
Nike and other sportswear companies have been under pressure because of a consumer shift to casual, white sneakers and a string of sporting goods store closures.
Nike on Tuesday reported quarterly earnings ahead of Wall Street estimates, although the company came up just short on sales.
On a conference call with analysts, executives tried to tamp down worries about the company’s business plan by announcing a new “triple double” strategy meant to double how fast the company creates new products, double how fast it gets products to market and doubles its interactions with consumers.
CEO and Chairman Mark Parker said the strategy is meant to “ignite the next phase of growth” for the $32.4 billion company.
Net income for the quarter increased 20 percent to $1.1 billion. Earnings per share increased 24 percent.
Nike’s bottom line benefitted from a significantly smaller tax bill. The company’s effective tax rate for the quarter was 13.8 percent, down from 16.3 percent last year. Nike attributed the decrease, partially, to an increased percentage of sales outside the U.S. which are subject to lower taxes.
Sales in North America, Nike’s biggest sales territory, increased 3 percent to $3.8 billion. Nike posted sales increases in all six of its geographies.

Telehandler Pre-Use Visual Inspection Checklist (pad of 30)
Telehandlers used must be carefully selected, maintained and operated by trained drivers. They are one of the most versatile pieces of construction site equipment with the capacity and reach to carry out many of the tasks traditionally undertaken by mobile and tower cranes. Unfortunately the very versatility that makes them so useful also provides scope for unsafe use.
The telehandler inspection pad helps businesses perform their pre-use or daily safety inspections. The checklist is designed to help you comply with your duty of care under HSE guidance, LOLER and PUWER. The duplicate checklist design creates two signed copies of each inspection and incorporates a PASS/FAIL notice. Each pad has 30 checklists and is used in tandem with a hi-vis display wallet
Our checklists are suitable for use with any standard telehandler including JCB, Bobcat and Caterpillar.
Dimensions: 84mm (h) x 229mm (w)

How to use
Before every shift, the operator of the telehandler can simply work down the inspection checklist, checking the safety of each component in turn. Once the inspection is complete, assuming safety has been established, the green PASS inspection certificate can be placed inside a safety status indicator on the telehandler ensuring that everyone can clearly see that the telehandler is safe for use. Failing telehandlers can be similarly identified by a red FAIL certificate and reported for maintenance. The duplicate copy of the certificate remains inside the inspection pad and can be used as evidence of inspections should you ever need to produce this for the HSE or other official parties.
If you've got any other questions you can check out our How To Page for more information.
How often should Telehandlers by inspected?
A programme of daily visual checks, regular inspections and servicing schedules should be established in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the risks associated with each vehicle.
Drivers should be encouraged to report defects or problems. Reported problems should be put right quickly and the excavator taken out of service if the item is safety critical.
Are telehandlers covered by LOLER?
The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) require that all lifting equipment is thoroughly examined by a competent person at specified intervals. In the case of a telehandler, it should be thoroughly examined:
- When the telehandler is put into service for the first time
- At regular intervals of:- o a period not exceeding 12 months if the telehandler is only used for lifting goods or a period not exceeding 6 months if the telehandler is used for lifting persons
- After any major alteration or damage
Do Pallet trucks need to be inspected under PUWER
Yes, whilst hand pallet trucks may not fall under LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) they are covered by PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998). PUWER states that you should make sure equipment is suitable for use in the purpose and conditions in which you’re using it, that it’s maintained in a safe condition, and that it’s inspected by a competent person to make sure that it continues to be safe to use. You also need to keep proper records of your inspections.

SangSom was first introduced into the Thailand market in 1977. Now, 30 years on, the award winning rum is the most successful beverage in the history of Thailand’s liquor industry. The rum was created by Chula Kanchanakaksha, widely acknowledged as the "liquor genius" of Thailand for his unique ability to balance both the art and science of spirit blending.
SangSom is produced from molasses, before being transferred to age in charred oak barrels for three to five years. After this it is blended with a special concentrate of finely selected herbs and spices. The complex taste and fragrance of SangSom result in a unique partnership with soft drinks and fresh juices, making it the classic ingredient for any cocktail or blended beverage. SangSom mixes perfectly with Shark, Fanta Orange and Coke.
Targeted at a younger market, SangSom is the perfect choice for sharing with friends at house parties and BBQs. The brand evokes a sense of escapism and imagination, with it being the drink of choice at Thailand’s legendary Full Moon Parties.

Degree: Law and Security Administration
Year of graduation: 1981
Paul Cook has been in law enforcement for almost 30 years, the past seven as North Bay Ontario’s Chief of Police.
Paul is a life-long resident of North Bay and a bona fide “Air Force brat”, having been raised within an Air Force family. In 2010, he was appointed as Honorary Colonel of 51 Aerospace Warning and Control Squadron, 22 Wing North Bay.
After graduating from the Ontario Police College in 1982, Paul served as a Constable in various branches and was promoted to Sergeant in 1995. Prior to his current post, he served for four years as Deputy Chief. In addition to his Sheridan education, Paul is a 2003 graduate of the business administration program at Canadore College and the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
Paul identifies his time at the FBI National Academy in 2003 as a career high point. There were approximately 250 police and some military leaders from all over the world in his training course. “To say this was a once in a lifetime learning opportunity would be an understatement,” says Paul. “My roommate, Richard Barton, was a Chief Superintendent with the Sussex Police in England. He has since retired and travels the world lecturing to police agencies on everything from counter terrorism to leadership. We have remained in contact since graduating and even arranged an officer exchange program between Sussex and North Bay,” says Paul.
A varsity athlete at Sheridan, Paul has many good memories of his time as a member of both the hockey and soccer teams. “Our soccer team traveled to Purdue and Notre Dame both years I was at Sheridan. I made several friendships with teammates whom I am still in contact with today,” he says. Our coaches taught us a number of life lessons that I attribute, in large part, to the success I have experienced in my career and family life,” says Paul who has a grown son and daughter with his wife Karen, a labour and delivery nurse in North Bay.
Paul is a member of several committees and boards, including the Critical Incident Stress Management Advisory Board, the North Bay Youth Soccer Executive Board and the North Bay Sports Awards Committee. He is a former member of the Canadore College Board of Directors. He has served in various capacities with a number of organizations and community groups over the years, including the Cancer Society, Special Olympics, and the North Bay Food Bank, to name but a few.
Paul is the recipient of the Order of Merit for Police (Member), the Police Exemplary Service Medal and received the Al Brennan Award by the North Bay Sports Hall of Fame Committee in 2002 for his contribution to the sport of Ringette.
He encourages anyone interested in making a difference in their community to join the policing profession. “In fact there are very few professions, if any, that have as great an impact on community safety and quality of life.” New graduates should continue to follow their dream of police work, he adds. “The hiring process is competitive and arduous. If you are not successful the first time around, keep applying. Continuing with your education and being active in your community will make you an attractive candidate to any police organization.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Puni, an ancient weaving art revived in Bulacan, involves skillfully crafting coconut leaves into beautiful designs through folding, plaiting, braiding, and weaving. While fresh coconut leaves are the norm, they tend to dry out fast, leading to loosened weaves and diminished beauty. To address this, artisans have turned to dried buri or buli leaves, which offer durability and can be dyed or colored for ornamental purposes. This adaptation ensures the art's endurance and aesthetic appeal.

Sakshibhav or being witness of your inner mental activities.
In spirituality and meditative life, our purpose is to find the truth or to find what is our subjectivity or who we are. To know this subjectivity, sages have devised unique and interesting methods. Sakshi bhav is one such unique and interesting method to know our own “Self”.
To describe this process of Sakshi bhav in simple words, we can say that we should be an active and conscious observer or should witness of thoughts running inside our mind. Now this looks very simple on first hand, but wait, this is only half of the process, equally interesting and challenging part of the process is that while observing our own thoughts, we MUST NOT be attaching any attributes to these thoughts as “good thought” or “bad thought “. In simple words, we MUST STAY AWAY from the conditioning of the thoughts.
To practice the true Sakshibhav from spiritual perspective as per the approach we mentioned above, we need to practice sincerely on a daily and regular basis by sitting in seclusion for a set period of time so that we can be a neutral observer for the thoughts that dancing continuously in our own mind for 24 hours.
For the benefit of new learners on the path of meditation, SiddhYog Sadhan Mandal has created one work shop on the Subject of Sakshi bhav entirely. Very detailed explanation about this process is given during this 3 days work shop. All new seekers who want to progress in their spiritual journey, are requested to visit this page for specific details about this unique spiritual workshop to march forward in your spiritual journey. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In fairy tales, when you lose a wisdom tooth, the tooth fairy gives you money in exchange. In real life, removing your wisdom tooth is not as much fun, but there are things that you and your dentist can do to make the experience better.
When Do You Have to Remove Your Wisdom Tooth?
Your wisdom teeth are located at the back of your mouth. They erupt between the ages of 17 and 21, as permanent replacements for the baby teeth located there.
Sometimes, this process of eruption, when the teeth cut through the gums and emerge, can go faulty. When this happens, the wisdom teeth can grow in painful angles, or, they may be “impacted”, which means that they fail to cut through the guns or jawbone.
In these scenarios, your dentist is likely to recommend removing your wisdom tooth. This is a very common procedure with a high level of success. The surgery is fairly simple: your family medicine doctor cuts into the gums or jawbone to get to the wisdom tooth, and then removes it.
How Long Does Recovery Take?
According to Colgate, recovery typically takes three to four days, assuming that you maintain proper oral hygiene and follow the dentist’s instructions about how to take care of your teeth and the area where the wisdom tooth was removed. If your wisdom teeth were impacted, then recovery could take a week or so. Pain from the extraction typically goes on for about 3 days to a week, unless you suffer an infection or from a dry socket. Swelling will ease after 2 to 3 days, while any stiffness and soreness will disappear after 7 to 10 days.
What Influences Recovery Times?
Although we have an idea of average recovery times, you should understand that recovery rates are different for each person. You may recover faster or slower than average, depending on your age, overall health, diet and other factors.
The younger you are, the faster you heal, because your jawbone is softer, so it;s easier to remove your wisdom tooth. If you are older, your wisdom teeth are bigger and your jawbone is denser. Surgery will take longer along with recovery.
What’s the Best Way to Recover?
In the first few days, you should try and take a break from your normal schedule. Although you will be able to function normally without a break, taking one will speed up recovery. A break will ensure that the blood clot forming on the extraction area is not dislodged.
To reduce swelling and any discomfort, apply an ice pack over the swollen area.
If you are suffering from any pain, your dentist will be able to prescribe a painkiller for you, or you can get one over-the-counter.
After the first day, rinse your mouth gently with salt water, at least twice a day, to sanitize the area and reduce the risk of infection.
During the recovery period, you should stick to soft foods such as soup, yogurt, eggs and cheese, and avoid hot foods or food that could end up in the socket, causing pain and hurting your recovery. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Irish Technology Leadership Group (ITLG) has launched a new ‘Women in Leadership Group’ to complement its growing network of technology leaders.
The objectives of the group will be to create mentoring opportunities for female graduates who are pursuing technology careers, mentor matching for female entrepreneurs and for women who are seeking corporate leadership roles, and to provide support, guidance, and insight for female-led technology start-ups.
The existing ITLG membership base is made up of high-performing female leaders from a wide range of academic institutions and industries, including technology, financial services, telecommunications, life sciences, media, entertainment, and publishing.
The group will be led by Una Fox, vice-president of technology at Disney.
Other key leaders stepping up to offer their support are Anita Sands, group managing director and head of Change Leadership, UBS Wealth Management Americas; Martina Newell-McGloughlin, DSc, UCBREP; Susan Davis, chairman, Susan Davis International; Margaret Molloy, CMO of Velocidi Group; Máire Walsh, VP of Next Steps Marketing; Rosaleen Blair, founder and CEO of Alexander Mann Solutions; Gina Quin, chief executive, Dublin Chamber of Commerce; Mairtini Ni Dhomhnaill, SVP at Accretive Solutions; and many others.
“Female leaders are excelling in technology and leadership roles today,” said John Hartnett, founder and president of the ITLG.
“Strong mentors and role models are key influencers of young entrepreneurs and this group can make a significant impact by assisting with that mentoring and guidance.”
The ITLG has always been committed to promoting the technology connection between Ireland and Silicon Valley, and in a similar vein, the ITLG Women in Leadership Group will continue this effort, and will also promote the connection of more women in technology, and will help advance more women in senior leadership roles within technology.
“The group will allow us to connect, guide, mentor, and provide support to women who desire to make advancements within the technology sector through networking, mentorship, and education,” Fox.

AC has become an eminent part of our home. With the temperature soaring high globally, it has become impossible to live without an air conditioner. But like any other machinery, ACs need maintenance and can get damaged due to several factors. So, if you face any AC-related issues, hire a good technician from HVAC Port Coquitlam immediately. If you are wondering how to find one, keep reading this article.
One of the best ways to find HVAC experts is by asking your friends and family in the area. You will directly get reviews of the service from a known person, and that will assure you about their reliability and service quality. When you get an honest opinion, it makes the selection process much easier.
Apart from recommendations, you should seriously consider doing some follow-up research. You can check on the internet about all the Reliable Heating & cooling services and go through their reviews to understand the type of service they offer. List down all the technicians you think are suitable for the job, and then call them individually. Tell them about your issues, ask about their prices, and analyze if they will be able to provide you with the services you need.
While finding the right HVAC experts, see if they have appropriate licenses. Genuine companies and professionals usually display licensing information on their websites or business cards. So to avoid any potential scammer, make sure that you appropriately check if the given company is appropriately licensed or not.
While other things are important, the experience factor holds the most importance. Someone who has recently opened up their business might not be able to give you the best solutions due to their lack of experience and expertise. Thus, hiring an experienced one is a much safer choice when you have HVAC issues.
Once you have received information about all the services, it is time to get price quotations. Call the company you are considering hiring and set up a visit. Understanding their work patterns would allow you to understand if you can trust them. It will also showcase how prepared they are to handle your HVAC issues.
These are some things you should consider while hiring HVAC repair services. These points would help you make the right decision and give you the best value for your money. Set up a budget first, and then go through the service pricing of individual companies. Also, ensure to conduct monthly maintenance of your AC. These machines operate throughout the day, and if they are not maintained properly, they can get damaged. Thus, to reduce the repair cost, invest some money in hiring experts to maintain your Air Conditioning machines regularly. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Regardless what happens when the Derek Car-less Oakland Raiders take on the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round Saturday, former head coach and NFL legend John Madden thinks the team should be proud of the season they have had.
“There are certain teams in the NFL, that football is good when they’re good…I think the Raiders are one of them,” Madden told SiriusXM NFL Radio.
Finishing the regular season 12-4, the Raiders suffered a huge loss when their star quarterback, Carr, broke his leg in Week 16 against the Indianapolis Colts. Before the injury, it seemed they at least had a chance to win the AFC.
Current Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio isn’t ready for the season to end, expressing confidence in rookie quarterback Connor Cook playing under center in just his second NFL game.
“I did not see that deer in the headlight look,” Del Rio said. “He looked like, ‘yeah, this is what I do, coach. Thanks for tapping my shoulder and putting me in.”

If Your Community Wants Job Creation, You Must Focus on Small Businesses.
Many American communities are facing challenging times with unemployment, slow job creation, and the loss of jobs due to automation. However, research shows that if job creation is important to your community, your best path to growth lies with small businesses. Small businesses account for 64% of net job creation in the private sector. In difficult economic times, small businesses contribute even more. After the last recession, the share of net new jobs attributable to small businesses grew to 67%.
Can One Economic Development Organization Serve Hundreds of Businesses?
Serving local businesses through economic development organizations has always been a big challenge. There may be hundreds or thousands of small and medium-sized businesses in your community but just a few economic development staff to serve all of them. This ratio makes it impossible for overworked and understaffed economic development organizations to personally help all of these local businesses with customized assistance for each company. No matter how amazing the economic development professionals are, they are still humans that can’t work 24 hours a day and serve hundreds of businesses at once.
The good news is that there is help for economic developers because SizeUp can serve as many businesses as your community has and can take work pressure off of economic developers.
How Economic Development Organizations are Empowering Their Local Businesses.
Smart communities are empowering their local businesses to succeed with information. This levels the playing field so that their small businesses can access the same types of intelligence that big companies use. This enables local businesses to make smarter decisions through data, upgrading the ability of small businesses to be more successful and grow as modern companies.
Organizations like the Colorado Springs EDC, Town of Gilbert in Arizona, Jackson Chamber in Tennessee, and the Small Business Development Center at Dallas College in Texas are just a few examples of those who recognize the importance of fostering an online strategy to support local businesses. This approach makes their community a better place, with more successful businesses that foster job growth and taxes that create quality amenities, including parks, libraries, schools, public safety, and more.
These places are actively enabling their small businesses to make data-driven decisions for success using an online service called SizeUp LBI (Local Business Intelligence). By implementing the service on government, chamber of commerce, Small Business Development Center, and library websites, communities are able to help their local businesses make better decisions. They help these companies know things about themselves they would never otherwise know without access to this powerful business intelligence.
Access to this kind of online market data changes the playing field for small business owners. SizeUp LBI addresses these critical changes with four market intelligence tools: Business and Industry Analysis, Competitive Intelligence, Advertising Analysis, and Demographic Analysis.
New Business Failures Can Be Reduced Through Preparation
It is common to hear the failure rate of new businesses is high, but the data is insightful because it tells you when businesses tend to fail. 20 percent of businesses fail in the first year, but an additional 30 percent fail in years 2, 3, 4, and 5 (Source: US BLS). 30 percent divided by 4 years equals an average of 7.5% of businesses failing each of these years. If 7.5% is a predictable/natural rate of business death, then 12.5% of businesses (1 out of 8 of all businesses) are failing in the first year due to “lack of preparation in one way or another” (Source: Entrepreneur Magazine). Being better prepared than the bottom 1/8th of all businesses puts an entrepreneur in a much higher likelihood of success. Economic developers are positioned to directly reduce this rate of failure.
If 1/8th of business failures can be mitigated through preparation, then economic developers can have a significant impact in reducing this failure rate. EDOs can prepare entrepreneurs with the information, training, and infrastructure needed to move out of this bottom 1/8th of businesses that fail quickly in their first year. Entrepreneurs can us SizeUp to create a business plan and interactively test their business assumptions based on real data for their industry and location.
A reduction of new business failure also has long-term benefits to local economies because each business that survives the first year produces a larger total pool of businesses surviving into every future year.
If 12.5% of all businesses are dying for the preventable cause of a lack of preparation and access to resources, it logically follows that an astounding 63% of first-year business failures can be mitigated and reduced through the direct engagement of economic developers implementing proactive programs designed to reduce the failure rate. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Southwest Monsoon 2019 after a significant delay has finally stepped in Northeast India. The normal onset date is June 1 along with Kerala. However, this time the Monsoon 2019 has been delayed by over a week. From past one-month, moderate rains with few heavy spells have been a constant sight in Northeast India.
Yesterday also, good rains were witnessed in many parts of the northeastern states. Dibrugarh recorded 46 mm of rains, followed by 42 mm in North Lakhimpur. While, Majbat and Silchar witnessed rains to the tune of 26 mm and 15 mm, respectively.
In fact, the weather conditions remain favourable for further progress of Monsoon 2019 into more parts of Northeast India. A Cyclonic Circulation is over the west-central Bay of Bengal and now it would move in north-northeast direction towards Myanmar. Hence, rain activities would pick up more pace in parts of Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, and Nagaland. With this, Monsoon is most likely to cover all the states of Northeast India during the next 48 hours.
Along with this, good rains are expected to continue over Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. Snowfall is also a chance in the higher reaches of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim.
Despite good rains, East and Northeast India till date is rain deficient by 49%. The normal average rainfall for Northeast India is very high. Till now, the region has recorded 41.8 mm of rains against the normal of 81.4 mm of rains. With rains to increase in the coming days, the normal rainfall value over Northeast India would also go up. As a result, covering the deficiency would become difficult.
These heavy rains might result in water logging, mudslide and landslide. However, for now, the flood-like situation in these states seems to be out of sight. Heavy to extremely heavy rains will be only helpful in bringing down the deficiency levels in northeastern states of the country. The rainfall activity is likely to pick up pace in the coming two to three days.

This year, many schools and districts will be implementing the Common Core State Standards. Although the most recent version of the standards was released in 2010, many states have started to implement the Common Core State Standards only recently.
Given this, the following statistic from a recent PDK/Gallup Poll is not surprising: “62% of Americans have never heard of the common core.”
Yes, over half of Americans are not familiar with the common core. Further, Gallup also reports that those who have heard of the common core harbor a variety of misconceptions that impact their understanding and acceptance of the standards.
Knowing that adults within your school community likely have a varying degrees of understanding about the common core, here are the three things that they should know as the school year begins:
Common Core State Standards are more rigorous than most state standards. For many states, the Common Core State Standards are more difficult than pre-existing state standard expectations. For example, many states have increased grade-level lexile guidelines significantly to meet the demands of the common core.
Common Core State Standards aim to prepare students for college and career. Over 5.6 billion dollars is spent annually on college remedial courses in America. This is mostly because students enter college and career without the skills and competencies needed to be successful. By raising the bar, the common core aims to reduce the burdens on employers and colleges.
Common Core State Standards are not a federal mandate. Although political groups have recently tried to misrepresent the Common Core State Standards as a federal mandate or program, the Common Core State Standards were NOT created by the federal government. The standards stemmed from a state-led effort organized by the National Governor’s Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. Teachers, parents, school administrators, experts and state leaders provided input into the development of the documents.
As educators, we are all responsible for helping our parents and our community understand overarching ideas about the development and implementation of the Common Core State Standards. When parents and the community are well-informed about issues that affect education, they are better able to participate in the democratic educational process.
So, share what you know this year with parents and the community!

Q: What repairs are landlords responsible for?
A: In most cases, landlords are legally responsible to keep the rental property in a habitable condition when the tenant moves in and are responsible for major problem repairs including plumbing and electrical. Once tenant moved to the property, landlords are required to make necessary repair and conduct maintenance to keep the rental property in a habitable condition.
Q: What are things landlords cannot do?
A: Landlords cannot do the following:
Q: Who is going to pay for repair?
A: Landlords are basically responsible for ensuring the habitability of the rental unit. If things that are needed repairs will affect the habitability condition of the rental unit, then it's landlord responsibility to fix it. But on the other hand, if the situation doesn't affect the ability of the tenant to live on the property, the landlord may not be required to fix the damage or may not even require paying for it. If the damage is caused by the tenant, their occupants or guests, then tenants may be responsible for the repair. Tenants must ensure to advise the landlord of any damage occur so the landlord can fix the issue before it gets worst.
Q: Are landlords allowed to use the tenant's garage or storage space?
A: Landlord should not use the tenant's garage or storage portion unless specified in the lease that both landlord and tenant agreed to sign.
Q: How long does eviction process take?
A: Every state, city or sometimes even town have their own ordinance or laws about evictions. Depending on the landlord's reasons for evicting a tenant it could take time. In the best-case situation, eviction happens in as little as two weeks or could be faster if the tenant decides to move out right away. But in the worst-case situation, if the judge will ask for more evidence it could take a few months. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Nowadays, internet communication is never safe without the protection of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) service. In reality, organizations and individuals rely heavily on the best vitural private network reddit users liked for secure data monitoring on the Internet and other public networks. The configured tunnels allow information to travel from source to destination without being vulnerable to interception or prying eyes on public networks. VPN technology uses security and routing protocols to retrieve data between communication devices and securely route it through the system. If you want to send vital information across the network while maintaining a high level of information protection, here are five reasons to use VPN services.
They Offer Good Confidentiality
Online business transactions, like financial transactions, have become critical and require more technical technologies for security management. Hacking, wiretapping or password violation can result in a lack of confidentiality or privacy, which can cause huge losses. Such losses can be avoided by using VPN solutions to send encrypted information over unsecured networks such as the World Wide Web.
You Need Safe and Secured Connection for Your Personal Data
All VPN services offer a form of data encryption and decryption to create secure data on public networks. Communication devices must authenticate each other before information can be transmitted. Virtual private networks provide secure protocols, such as point-to-point tunnelling protocols, to ensure that data is protected from interception or intrusion.
It’s Better Pay for the VPN services Than Losing Your Money
The price of losing the integrity and confidentiality of network information could be enormous and in some cases, irreversible. VPNs can significantly reduce the risks associated with data transmission, lowering the cost of reducing the amount of information in transit. In terms of VPN pricing, many premium VPN providers offer affordable packages that include value-added benefits such as network monitoring and control. Subscription to VPN services can be annual or annual, and some VPN providers even offer a free trial of this service until you commit.
You Need to Protect Your Privacy
Using the VPN services of reliable and trusted VPN providers, such as switching to the Internet, you can bypass network censorship filters and receive blocked services, especially in countries where Internet availability is limited. With these VPN services, you can receive geolocalized online television services such as Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Fox and many others.
They Offer Huge Scalability
While some organizations are constantly growing, others may experience erratic changes in an expansion that require dynamic bandwidth allocation. These associations can derive maximum benefit from the use of VPNs by providing the bandwidth demand. Speed limits and other bandwidth management parameters can also be used to cover scenarios where bandwidth must be provided for business or mission-critical software. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I measured the Emotiva Airmotiv GR1 headphones using laboratory-grade equipment: a GRAS Model 43AG ear/cheek simulator/RA0402 ear simulator with KB5000/KB5001 simulated pinnae, and a Clio 12 audio analyzer. For isolation measurements, I used a laptop computer running TrueRTA software with an M-Audio MobilePre USB audio interface. The headphones were amplified using a Musical Fidelity V-CAN. These are “flat” measurements; no diffuse-field or free-field compensation curve was employed. If you’d like to learn more about what our measurements mean, click here.
This chart shows the Airmotiv GR1s’ frequency response. Nothing really out of the ordinary here—one could criticize the GR1s for being a little light in the treble and the bass, and a little bumped-up between 300 and 900Hz, but as we’ll see in the comparison chart, they’re roughly in line with industry norms.
This chart shows how the Airmotiv GR1s’ tonal balance changes when they’re used with a high-impedance (75 ohms) source, such as a cheap laptop or some cheap professional headphone amps, or some exotic tube amps. There’s a little bit more bass with high-impedance sources.
This chart shows the Airmotiv GR1s’ right-channel response compared with two somewhat similar models (HiFiMan Sundara and Philips Fidelio X3 headphones), and the AKG K371 headphones, which are said to be very close to the Harman curve target. The measurements of the GR1s and the Fidelio X3s are quite similar (as expected from my listening tests), the Sundaras are more trebly, and the K371s have more bass and more treble—which the Harman research shows results in a subjectively flat response.
The GR1s’ spectral decay shows fairly strong resonances at about 500Hz, 4kHz, and 6kHz, which correspond with frequency-response dips and peaks in those regions; they’re high-Q resonances; I expect they’re not overtly audible but that they do affect the sound a bit.
As expected from my listening tests, the Airmotiv GR1s do show some distortion at high listening levels, getting into the range of 5% to 10% below 100Hz at the extremely high level of 100dBA, measured with pink noise. So if you like to listen loud, these aren’t the headphones for you—but unless you relish the idea of crippling tinnitus and not being able to understand normal conversation by the time you’re 60, you should just get used to lower volumes instead.
In this chart, the external noise level is 85dB SPL, and numbers below that indicate the degree of attenuation of outside sounds. The lower the lines, the better the isolation. I compared the GR1s with the similar Philips Fidelio X3, the closed-back AKG K371, and the fully open-back HiFiMan HE400i headphones. This is about the level of isolation I’d expect for semi-open headphones.
The Airmotiv GR1s’ impedance magnitude curve is typical for a dynamic-driver design, hovering in the mid-30-ohms range except for a peak at the driver’s resonant frequency of 58 ohms. In the electrical phase plot, there’s a little bit of a wrinkle in the bass, which is why the bass response increases a bit with high-impedance sources.
Sensitivity of the Airmotiv GR1s, measured between 300Hz and 3kHz, using a 1mW signal calculated for 32 ohms rated impedance, is 103.5dB. That’s high enough that the Airmotiv GR1s should play loudly from pretty much any source.
Bottom line: Other than high distortion at very loud listening levels, the Airmotiv GR1s are a very normal set of headphones that are free of troublesome quirks.

The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV is Out of This World
Ever so often, a vehicle emerges that seems to do the impossible. That jaw-dropping shift from fantasy to reality usually delivers a track-oriented sports car. The “sports car” renders a beautiful design and intuitive engineering that typically does not fit the cost-efficient range, but it may be a steal with the perfect group of friends.
With the recipe for the “What the Heck is that?” the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV came along—the fraternal twin to the Hummer EV Pickup offering the same features but with a rear. In addition, an 8.9-inch wheelbase reduction reduces cargo space relative to the pickup but preserves the rear-seat space. Although the SUV’s wheelbase extends to 126.7 inches, it’s still vast and comes within half an inch of the 1973 Lincoln Continental.
The Hummer EV offers a petite battery pack that delivers a combined output of three motors from 1000 horsepower to 830 horses for the pickup. The electric big-boy will also provide a two-motor setup with 625 horsepower. The triple motor powertrain reveals a launch-control mode known as Watts to Freedom or (WTF), and it is a well-deserved name. Lowering the SUV’s body by 3.5 inches preps the battery and blasts the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph in under four seconds. However, if the car accelerates hard with the suspension in an elevated mode, the vehicle dips the rear end and directs the nose upwards.
The off-road is afraid of the readily equipped Hummer’s that feature 35-inch tires on 18-inch wheels. So instead, the on-road variation receives 22-inch wheels and LT305/55R-22 Goodyear Wrangler Territory all-terrain tires. The rear-suspension articulation keeps the Hummers wheels grounded on those uneven terrains. However, off-road variations eliminate the rear anti-roll bar with the addition of a few underbody cameras.
Inside the GMC EV SUV, the cabin favors what we know and love about its fraternal twin. The interior is vast, and the floor is flat. A 12.3-inch digital gauge display is directly in front of the driver, while a 13.4-inch touchscreen faces the passengers. A smart move from the engineering team, GMC held on to some physical switch gears for climate-control functions. The rear seating is phenomenal, and the cargo space is big enough to accommodate the luggage of five occupants.
The Hummer EV SUV defies all odds, accelerating like a tiny sports car, handling like there’s nothing inside, and being as charming as the stallion it resembles. The monstrous SUV is off-road capable, and there are no concerns about sucking water into the intake. Although the Hummer EV is a heavy vehicle, its features outweigh the pounds.

For the interior, rubber flooring and premium floor liners add protection from dirt, sand, mud, and snow.
The Edition 1 Model
The first variant of the GMC Hummer EV available to consumers is the Edition 1 that comes standard with three electric motors that pump out 1,000hp for the truck variant and 830hp for the SUV model. Powering the Edition 1 is a massive 200 kWh Ultium battery pack and an 800-volt electrical architecture with 350-KW fast-charging capability that adds 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes of charging. Despite weighing over 9,000 lbs, the Hummer EV accelerates to 60 mph in three seconds and offers a total driving range of 350 miles.

A grieving daughter has praised the care of St Catherine’s Hospice whose support enabled her to fulfill her mum’s wish to die at home.
Julie Smith’s mum Eileen McCann died at home in January, after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in November 2019.
Julie, from Bamber Bridge, said: “Right from being diagnosed my mum said to me, I don’t want to die in hospital – I want to be at home, in my own bed.
“If it had not been for the support I got from St Catherine’s then I wouldn’t have been able to achieve that for her. Today I would be living with that – knowing I’d gone against her wishes.
“My mum was a very strong person, a very kind person, but she knew her own mind. The last thing I wanted to do was go against what she so clearly wanted. I am just so grateful to the hospice for helping me achieve what was important to her.”
Julie is sharing her experiences as part of the hospice’s new campaign encouraging people to sign up to give a monthly donation. It puts the spotlight on how St Catherine’s looks after the big issues and small details to make all the difference to local families facing conditions like cancer, heart failure and motor neurone disease.
Julie, who began giving a donation each month soon after her mum died, said: “I know how important having St Catherine’s here is and I want to do my little bit to help other families experience the same valuable support.”
Julie said the support from their community Clinical Nurse Specialist – the St Catherine’s palliative care nurses who visit people at home – was ‘amazing’.
“I remember times being on the phone to them in tears, and they were just so genuine and caring,” she said. “I can’t get across how much that support meant.
“I had a lot of questions too – if you’ve never been around someone who is dying, you don’t know what to expect. Tracy was so knowledgeable, so compassionate. She answered all my questions and helped me to feel more prepared.”
“Mum also spent some time on the in-patient unit at St Catherine’s,” Julie added.
“She was reluctant at first, but we are all so glad she went. They sorted out her medication, and helped her to eat a little again. Her stay gave us extra time together at home, which we’re so grateful for.
“After she died, I pretty much threw myself back into everything – but then ended up having a major wobble. Now I’ve been offered bereavement counselling to help. I didn’t even realise they did that.
“St Catherine’s are there for you all the way through – when someone is ill, at the end and then they’re still there for you afterwards.”
Melanie Holmes, community services manager at St Catherine’s, said: “We are so pleased our team could be there for Eileen and Julie when they needed us.
“We know that at the end of life hospital is often not the most suitable place for people to be, or where they would wish to spend their last days.
“Our community Clinical Nurse Specialist team is here to enable people to be at home if this is what they want – ensuring they are comfortable, that their relatives feel supported and empowered, and working with other health and social care professionals to co-ordinate any other support that is required.”
- As an independent charity, St Catherine’s can’t provide any of its services without fundraising and donations. Each year they have to raise £4.8m of their annual £5m running costs. To pledge a regular donation to the hospice, please click here.

I’ll write a review of this one hot and cold later, but for now I’m just logging. Still studying/writing papers for midterms. =(
This one was quite good. I enjoyed the watermelon/blackberry combo, and I even didn’t mind the honeybush! It was sweet, slightly tart, and refreshing. I’m going to try the last of it iced. Be back with more later.
Thanks, Alphakitty for swapping some of this yummy tea!
UPDATE: Here are the notes I was able to scratch down on this one during what I will refer to as “Midterm Hell Week”. This is pretty much a copy and paste.
Smells like- Blackberry and honeybush. Smells very sweet and slightly tart. Also picking up what smells like hubba bubba bubble gum (just as I did in the Cotton Candy Black). I wonder where that smell comes from?
Taste: Similar to the cotton candy (which I liked) in taste, except with definite blackberry aspects and subtle watermelon in the front of the sip. The honeybush is present, but doesn’t overpower the other flavors (I think I prefer honeybush to rooibos). Sweet, slightly tart, and very refreshing. I think this would be the bomb iced.
I have a bit more of this left, so I hope to expand on some of this later. I also want to try it iced, so we’ll see if that changes any of the flavors. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

View Live Stats View ReviewsThe Mysteries Of Excel Explained
Fri 23rd October 2009
Quite often when there's a need to present vast amounts of data in an easy to understand report, the first thing that comes to mind is to create a spreadsheet. But it is usually a knee-jerk reaction to suggest a spreadsheet as a solution. Before deciding if this is the best application to use, we have to first understand what it is Excel can do and how it's done.
To define Microsoft Excel in a simple sentence does not do it justice, but it could be regarded as the computer equivalent of a ledger sheet. A spreadsheet is a grid made from columns and rows, which makes number manipulation easy and less painless.
Columns and rows and their intersections - cells - are the components which are used together to create the basic frame of an Excel spreadsheet. Within each cell there may be the following types of data - text (labels), number data (constants) and formulas (mathematical equations that do all the work). How simple or complicated each component is and its relationship to every other component is determined by you. However, the complex calculations are made with the aid of the program - so any of the difficult maths is handled quickly and accurately.
Imagine keeping track of any accounting system - the calculations that go in to creating a day-to-day log of what you spend on the paper ledger can be overwhelming. If your income changes, for example, you might need to start the calculation all over again. But an Excel spreadsheet does the maths for you.
Spreadsheets are often used to store financial data. Formulas and functions that are used on this type of data include performing basic mathematical operations such as adding columns and rows of figures; finding values such as profit or loss; calculating repayment plans; and finding the average, maximum, or minimum values in a specified range of data.
A spreadsheet is a piece of software that can handle and manipulate numbers in understandable patterns. But spreadsheets are not confined to adding up - a spreadsheet can undertake financial calculations, statistical information - even trigonometry. And all of this information can be collated into a graph or chart.
Microsoft Excel can be used for graphing or charting data to assist users in identifying data trends, as well as sorting and filtering data to find specific information. And the information in a spreadsheet can easily be incorporated into electronic presentations, web pages or printed off in report form.
Microsoft Excel 2007 also allows you, the user, to define the appearance of spreadsheets including specifying fonts, character attributes and cell appearance. It also boasts intelligent cell recomputation, where only cells dependent on the cell being modified are updated. The program also has extensive graphing capabilities and enables users to perform mail merge. Microsoft Excel features calculation, graphing tools, tables and a macro programming language called VBA (Visual Basic for Applications).
But one of the most common reasons why Excel is the program of choice for creating a spreadsheet is the ability to do both simple and complex calculations. The business of adding or multiplying is made simple by the inbuilt calculator in an Excel spreadsheet.
So there it is, there's no mystery to Excel, but there is plenty of wizardry. Use it wisely and it will help you to conjure up fantastic results.

I am thankful for the life of Mr. Cathey, for his unyielding pursuit of being in business without becoming like the business world. His commitment to do business with the highest biblical standards was, and is, rare in the American economy. So many forget that God wants us to be Christian in our business endeavors too. Not, Mr. Cathey.
Most American food chains would tell you that they couldn't survive without Sunday business, yet Chick-Fil-A does. I am told that virtually every mall lease requires all mall stores/vendors to be open on Sundays. Malls across America have consistently made an exception for Chick-Fil-A. Why? Because Chick-Fil-A has consistently demonstrated that they could produce more business in six days than the mall's other stores could in seven. God blesses obedience to His word. God has obviously blessed Chick-Fil-A.
So, what does a Godly business look like? First, it is courageous - daring to be different. It treats it's employees fairly and maintains high standards for their conduct and appearance. It is kind, serving each and every customer and vendor, with respect, courtesy and joy. It maintains the highest standards of quality for both it's product and it's service. It gives back to the community around it, in purposeful and meaningful ways. And, most importantly, it reflects Godly character to a lost world, pointing people to Him.
I am told by those who knew Mr. Cathey, that he consistently modeled Christian character in both his personal and business life. Can a business be Christian? We will leave that up to you to decide, but nobody can argue that Mr. Cathey's business didn't reflect his belief in God.
In the early hours of this morning, S. Truett Cathey heard his Master say, "Well done My good and faithful servant." I can just imagine Mr. Cathey's response... "It was my pleasure." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Taste oyster mushrooms from Leiden, grown by circular city growers. From coffee grounds from Leiden's hotels, restaurants and offices. Totally local!
"Pleased to meet you! We are Fungi Farmers Emanuela and Inge, circular urban oyster mushroom growers in Leiden. We collect coffee grounds from Leiden hotels, restaurants and offices and then use them as a nutrient medium to grow oyster mushrooms. This is how we turn something otherwise considered waste into delicious local healthy food. And you can do the same at home! We have handy home growing kits that allow you to grow your own fresh oyster mushrooms as a ‘countertop farmer’ using your own coffee grounds." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
From being out of the race to ahead of the field as sportswear business turns to covid-19 protective clothing
Resource Direct UK Ltd is the UK agent for Polygiene, a Swedish company that specialises in stay fresh technology, which helps to keep textiles, including sportswear, fresh and odour free.
However, like many other businesses, lockdown resulted in a slowdown in orders, with the temporary closure of those in the supply chain and retail outlets.
The business though is now experiencing increasing demand for its new specialist virus guard, ViralOff. Developed by Polygiene, ViralOff is applied to fabric and helps protect those wearing treated fabrics and protective clothing from Covid-19. ViralOff is being used on personal protective equipment and scrubs for healthcare workers, doctors, nurses and first responders.
ViralOff builds on Polygiene’s established track record for successfully developing and producing protective surface applications to guard against viruses. In fact, the business was established in 2004 following its work relating to SARS. The company re-visited this earlier work along with that it carried out relating to Bird Flu Influenza and Hepatitis. As a result, it has been successful in rapidly developing the new anti-viral treatment technology and brand ViralOff which was launched on 7th April, only days after the UK lockdown was put in place.
When developing ViralOff, the company had two criteria it wanted to fulfil. Firstly, that they should be able to show a real anti-viral effect that could be tested by a standard test. Secondly, primary treatment would be applied to products where it is relevant to have an anti-viral effect both for products in the care sector, as well as for the public in environments where protection is needed.
ViralOff is not intended to prevent disease, it is used for protection of the treated product. According to Polygiene, ViralOff has over a 99% reduction of viruses in two hours according to a standard ISO18184:2019 test.
Stephen Hobday, Managing Director of Resource Direct UK Ltd, commenting on ViralOff and its role in dealing with Covid-19 said: “We are delighted to be the UK representative for Polygiene and for ViralOff. It is great to see how quickly the business was able, by drawing on its expertise, to develop, test and launch such a product to help manage the spread of coronavirus and to safeguard the lives of those working on the frontline.
“As we move to an easing of lockdown and a return to business, we believe ViralOff has a much wider commercial application which will help a broad range of manufacturers of clothing and not just protective equipment. We are delighted to have been able to fulfil an order for Burberry’s mask production.
“Certainly, the idea that we would not be busy during lockdown seems now not to be the case with a host of manufacturers now interested in ViralOff and its anti-viral application for a wide range of wearable fabrics and furnishings.
“As the UK government starts to ease lockdown, we envisage an increased interest and demand for ViralOff as businesses look for solutions and ways to protect and safeguard workers.”

Boohoo, a fashion conglomerate, has revealed a downturn in income and earnings for the six months culminating on August 31. Nevertheless, the enterprise has indicated its dedication to “enhanced profitability and resurgence” by allocating resources to product, cost, and proposal.
Despite the unsatisfactory outcomes, Boohoo professes to have achieved noteworthy advancements over the past six months. The enterprise effectively brought several operational and strategic initiatives to fruition and observed an enhancement in adjusted EBITDA margin.
The receipts from principal brands experienced a 10% decrease, aligning with the earlier provided forecast of an overall income decline ranging from 10% to 15%. Boohoo opted to prioritize more lucrative transactions, resulting in more substantial plunges in its brands, although this maneuver contributed to the enhanced group profitability.
“We have identified over £125 million of annualised cost advantages to bolster our investment plan. Our conviction in the long-term potential for the Group persists unaltered as we implement our primary focal points where we perceive a clear route to enhanced profitability and resurgence.”

LETTER: Over optimistic view of future
The South Downs must not be threatened. It is part of what constitutes living in and visiting Eastbourne. It is also at the heart of the identity of Sussex and a big part of our national heritage. Its value cannot be judged in monetary terms.
Although it is claimed that by choosing to sell the farms, Eastbourne will retain 1,000 acres, what is not made clear is that it will possibly lose control of 3,000 more. And those 1,000 acres, although precious, are made very much more so by the adjoining 3,000, which are now under serious threat.
Hide AdIt is over optimistic to claim that little will change if the farms are sold. It is by no means certain that any covenants will hold in the short-term or the long-term. With low profit yields, it is unlikely that the farms will be attractive propositions for agriculture and there will be requests for diversification which would be totally at odds with the whole ethos of the downland landscape and its ecology.
Whilst it may be possible to guarantee current access rights to walkers, the whole landscape could change. In the future, it may be that instead of walking over wide, empty open vistas with the light playing over the rolling fields and hills we will be walking through a landscape of vineyards, poly-tunnels, solar panels or even worse.
Not so good for the soul! Not so good for the downland flowers, birds and insects. It cannot be right to jeopardise so very much for so very little temporary gain. The money raised will be but a drop in the ocean and in a very short while will be but a memory. Let us hope that the same cannot be said of our beautiful downland farms.
Obviously, cuts have to be made or budgets be redefined. The council wants to invest in Eastbourne’s future with new projects and developments and, of course, this is also desirable. However, we mustn’t squander one of the very great tourist assets it already holds.
Hide AdWe may have to make more shorter-term cuts, painful as they may be, such as losing the annual bedding of the Carpet Gardens and charging for green waste which can always be reversed if the financial situation improves. If we lose the identity of our downland setting it is gone for evermore and for everyone.

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos says his government will formally sign a historic peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) later this month.
“Peace will be signed on September 26 in [the Colombian city of] Cartagena,” Santos said in a speech on Friday, adding, “This is perhaps the most-important announcement I’ve made in my entire life.”
FARC leader Timoleon Jimenez also tweeted the date and location of the signing, describing it as “the foundation for building #peace.”
Several Latin American leaders as well as Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy are expected to attend the signing ceremony in Cartagena.
After almost four years of negotiations in the Cuban capital city of Havana, the Colombian government and the FARC rebels reached a final peace accord last week and declared a definitive ceasefire, bringing to an end 52 years of hostilities.
Under the deal, the FARC will have 180 days to demobilize, disarm and relaunch itself as a political party, in a process that will be monitored by the UN.
The agreement must still be endorsed by the Colombian people, who will vote on the deal in a nationwide referendum scheduled for October 2.
To be ratified, the peace deal must secure “yes” votes from 4.4 million voters – 13 percent of the electorate.
The Colombian citizens will vote on the question: “Do you support the final accord to end the conflict and build a stable and lasting peace?”
The latest survey conducted for El Tiempo newspaper and W Radio found that 59.5 percent of the Colombians would vote “yes” in support of the agreement, compared to 33.2 percent who are opposed to it, while 4.7 percent are undecided and 2.6 percent have no opinion.
On the rebel side, the accord must be ratified at FARC’s 10th national conference, which is due on September 17-23. FARC said in a statement that the event would be the group’s “last meeting with weapons … ratify the peace agreement and transform FARC into a legal political movement.”
The rebel group, which took up weapons in 1964 to fight against deep economic and social inequalities, now controls large swathes of Latin America’s third most-populous country. The conflict has left 260,000 people dead, 45,000 missing and 6.9 million displaced. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A game of observation rather than strategy and planning.
A handsome square box with a minimal cover design showing a beautiful creature in flight – you’d be forgiven for thinking Dust in the Wings is in Wingspan territory but you’d be wrong. This is a charming almost-abstract that bigs up its connections to mancala, one of humanity’s great ancient games, but makes it about butterflies instead.
Dust’s board is a five-by-five meadow of squares with flowers in them and one butterfly per flower at the start, randomly blue, red and yellow. On your turn you take all the butterflies from one square and move across the meadow, putting one down in each space you visit. If your last butterfly is in a space that fits the pattern shown on one of the face-up ‘composition’ (groups of colours) or ‘gathering’ (numbers and arrangements) cards then you get the card and its associated reward.
The ballyhooed link to mancala is only in the way you place butterflies, not in the way you score. This is a game of observation rather than strategy and planning. The board and scoring cards are visible to everyone, so you can’t spend a turn or two setting up a grand pattern because someone else will either spot it and nab it first, or won’t spot it and will blunder straight through it instead, wantonly scattering butterflies as they go.
The rules are short and well explained, and the gameplay is pleasing for those who like visual puzzles. However Dust has the same problem as its stablemate Inuit: it’s a charming and easy to learn game with lovely components and high production values, and a box and sticker price about 65% larger than they should be. At £25 this would be a nice buy and a great present. At its suggested price of £40 we can’t recommend it – though the butterfly meeples are hard to resist.

Machine Learning Helps Researchers Predict Interactions Between Gold Nanoparticles and Blood Proteins
Machine learning and supercomputer simulations have been used to investigate how gold nanoparticles bind to blood proteins.
Complete the form below to unlock access to ALL audio articles.
Researchers in the Nanoscience Center at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have used machine learning and supercomputer simulations to investigate how tiny gold nanoparticles bind to blood proteins. The studies discovered that favorable nanoparticle-protein interactions can be predicted from machine learning models that are trained from atom-scale molecular dynamics simulations. The new methodology opens ways to simulate efficacy of gold nanoparticles as targeted drug delivery systems in precision nanomedicine.
Hybrid nanostructures between biomolecules and inorganic nanomaterials constitute a largely unexplored field of research, with the potential for novel applications in bioimaging, biosensing, and nanomedicine. Developing such applications relies critically on understanding the dynamical properties of the nano–bio interface. Modeling the properties of the nano-bio interface is demanding since the important processes such as electronic charge transfer, chemical reactions or restructuring of the biomolecule surface can take place in a wide range of length and time scales, and the atomistic simulations need to be run in the appropriate aqueous environment.
Machine learning help to study interactions at the atomic level
Recently, researchers at the University of Jyväskylä demonstrated that it is possible to significantly speed up atomistic simulations of interactions between metal nanoparticles and blood proteins. Based on extensive molecular dynamics simulation data of gold nanoparticle – protein systems in water, graph theory and neural networks were used to create a methodology that can predict the most favorable binding sites of the nanoparticles to five common human blood proteins (serum albumin, apolipoprotein E, immunoglobulin E, immunoglobulin G and fibrinogen). The machine learning results were successfully validated by long-timescale atomistic simulations.

Employee monitoring can be a controversial topic. Some business owners deem it necessary to establish a healthy level of control over their operations. Others feel it infringes on people's rights and privacy.
In the end, you'll have to make a choice yourself, as there are no right or wrong answers. It all depends on your company policies and how you wish to enforce them. To help you decide, take a look at the pros and cons of each:Employee Monitoring: The Pros
1. It limits the risk of creating a hostile work environment
Without monitoring, there is the risk of your employees not performing work-related activities. They may also view controversial, hostile, or demeaning content online. Not only is this an issue of productivity, but it also has the potential to come across as the company being tolerant of this. Without taking action, you assume responsibility for the actions of your employees.2. It helps you trust your employees more
Trust and respect are earned, not given. By implementing employee monitoring, there is no need to be taking their word about doing what they're supposed to. To maintain a high level of productivity and build trust, some forms of employee monitoring can go a long way.3. It keeps fraud in check
Most companies pay their employees by the hour and not per-project. So there is an incentive for them to pass entertainment time as working time. In other words, they could very well be watching YouTube instead of working, and you'd be paying them for it. Employee monitoring can help you identify problematic employees.4. It can protect against litigation
A lawsuit is never something one should take lightly, as it can bring your business to its knees. Someone can use whatever your employees write in an email as evidence in court. Hence, you should have a firm grip on what's going on. It's your task to ensure that the quality is where it needs to be to limit the impact of misuse, security breaches, etc.5. It ensures quality and high performance
The feeling that someone is looking over one's shoulder may not be pleasant. But it does ensure one's maximum performance and quality of work. If this happens in real-time, you can catch any mistake on the employee's part immediately and rectify it on the spot.Employee Monitoring: The Cons
1. Privacy issues
Privacy is not only a matter of ethics, but it's also a legal issue. According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, intercepting live or stored communications is prohibited. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule, such as emails and phone calls. Other forms of employee monitoring may need consent on their part.2. It takes money to put in place
Given that most businesses aim to reduce their costs, employee monitoring could set you further away from that goal. After all, you're going to need to invest in the technology necessary if you want to make it happen. Even if it's already at your fingertips, someone will need to look at the data collected. Unless you plan to invest your own time into it, you're going to have to hire someone to do the job.3. It can impact employee motivation
People don't fancy the feeling of being watched. Thus, it can hurt their job satisfaction. If your primary concern is to ensure no one is browsing sites that they shouldn't at work, get a firewall to block such websites. If you're worried about data falling into the wrong hands, set access control or get NordVPN Teams. With the help of a business VPN, your employees can access data of the company in a manner that is safe and secure irrespective of their current location. Some VPNs also allow browsing monitoring that's less invasive than usual methods.4. Someone needs to do the monitoring
Unless you're watching their every move yourself, how can you be sure the one you've entrusted with the task is worthy of your trust? Remember that giving an employee a position of power over others can lead to misuse. That's not saying that paranoia should be your guide, but you do need to consider the possibility.5. It can take a toll on employee trust
If your company promotes a healthy working environment and a high standard of working relationships, employee monitoring goes against such principles. It may give the impression you don't trust your employees. Your working relationship may sustain irreparable damage.Conclusion
Employee monitoring can increase productivity and cut behavior that could lead to legal issues. But it also can damage your office relationships. Although this is your decision, in the end, you should consider the alternatives first. They may be enough to address the company-specific issues on their own. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Joe Root ordered his players to stand back and let the youngsters Ollie Pope and Dominic Bess lead the team off the field at Port Elizabeth after the next generation took a big step forward in this match.
Pope’s century and Bess’s six wickets in the match followed Dominic Sibley and Zak Crawley providing England’s longest first innings opening partnership for 11 years.
All of a sudden the wind of change is blowing through the England dressing room. Root has been here before. After the win in Sri Lanka before Christmas 2018 it was felt then he was finally stamping his mark on the side. But that team still leaned heavily on players who pre-dated Root as captain and the positivity evaporated when the Ashes remained in Australian hands.
Youth always brings new energy and Pope, Sibley, Bess, Crawley and Sam Curran have re-energised the environment. With Jofra Archer and Rory Burns to add when fit, Chris Silverwood has the basis of a team forming.
Pope is the most complete player of the group at this stage with a technique that looks well equipped to stand up to any conditions and shares so much with the young Root. It is a question of whether he can be consistent and cope with the added burden of expectation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The irrigation department has taken up the work of desilting the canals. A sum of Rs 35 crore had been sanctioned by chief minister Mamata Banerjee right before the Bidhannagar municipal elections for this .
Dredging is on at both Bagjola canal and Kestopur canal network. Debraj Chakraborty, mayor in council in charge of drainage and solid waste management, Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation, said: “In the lower Bagjola canal stretch, flowing from VIP Road to Kulti, work is on at full tilt. In upper Bagjola, which is till VIP Road, work has just begun. Work at Kestopur canal is also on. All other canals in the Rajarhat Gopalpur area will be excavated in due course.”
Work started about two weeks ago and is expected to continue for a year.
Such extensive dredging is taking place after more than five years. “An estimated deposition of 10 inches to one foot of silt takes place per year. So we plan the dredging at an interval of about five years by when the deposition is substantial,” an irrigation department official said. Only upper Bagjola Canal, he said, had been desilted three years ago. “But given how its adjoining areas like Kamarhati, Panihati and south Dum Dum suffered water-logging last monsoon, we have decided to dredge that stretch again.”
The Bagjola canal flows for a length of over 38km, with the upper part being 28.8km long. The Kestopur canal, which starts from the Hooghly at the Chitpore lockgate with the name Circular Canal and takes the name Bhangarkata Canal to fall into the Bidyadhari, is almost the same length.
The urban development and municipal affairs is also dredging the Eastern Drainage Channel (EDC), which flows by the east of New Town and alongside Salt Lake Bypass. A proposal to dredge upper level of the EDC, called Beleghata Circular Canal, will be sent to the finance department for approval.
Pumphouse power needed
However, just the desiltation will not be enough to completely rid east Calcutta of inundation woes. The irrigation department has done a mathematical model study by feeding hydraulic data into a simulation software, with assistance from the hydrology department of IIT Kharagpur as also Dutch experts, with whom a tie-up has been forged at the Bengal Global Business Summit. “It was seen that the Kulti pumphouse at the tail end of Bagjola Canal is inadequate compared to the drainage discharge. We have prepared a proposal for capacity augmentation which will be sent to the finance department. When water from Bagjola cannot get discharged during tidal activity in the Bidyadhari, the pumphouse is pressed into operation. Currently due to siltation, the canal discharge capacity is down to 50 to 60 per cent. Once we complete the dredging, the canal’s drainage will be back to full capacity. We have found that close to 5,000 cusec water accumulates at the tail end of the canal while the drainage capacity of the pumphouse is 1,650 cusec. So water stagnates in the canal for days even 40km upstream, which is what had happened last monsoon. If the pumphouse capacity gets augmented to 4,000 cusec, the water that now takes one or two days to clear will then be drained in three hours,” an official explained.
North 24-Parganas district magistrate Sumit Gupta inspected work on Monday. “Dredging will continue through monsoon. We are using pontoon-mounted excavators, which can float,” said a district official.
The canals along VIP Road in Bangur Avenue, Lake Town and Dum Dum Park are in bad shape, being full of litter. The stretch is also facing the threat of illegal landfill as also encroachment on the sides. “Due to lack of awareness about their importance, the canals are getting reduced to longitudinal garbage vats,” lamented a civic official.
Asked about the desilting of canals in the South Dum Dum Municipality area, chairperson Kasturi Choudhury said: “I have already sent notices to the respective departments. Desilting of canals along VIP Road will begin soon.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A securities fraud lawsuit filed by shareholders against Tesla in 2017 claiming misleading comments previously made about Model 3 production readiness has been dismissed by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer of the Northern District of California. This is the second time the shareholders’ lawsuit was dismissed, the first being last August in favor of an amended filing.
Judge Breyer’s decision cited that Tesla’s “repeated warnings about Model 3 production risks” including CEO Elon Musk’s references to “production hell” amounted to an ignorance of the facts by the plaintiffs claiming fraud.
The class-action lawsuit was filed by two investors, Kurt Friedman and Uppili Srinivasan, and alleged that the company, Musk, and two of its Chief Financial Officers intentionally misled shareholders about the progress of Model 3 production in 2017 when the all-electric car maker was “woefully unprepared” for the manufacturing demands. At that time, Tesla had a large backlog of orders and only delivered the first Model 3 cars in July 2017 while aiming for a 5,000 per week production rate by the end of the year.
Friedman and Srinivasan claimed Tesla made “false and misleading statements” about being able to produce 5,000 Model 3 vehicles weekly by the end of 2017, and that investors were negatively impacted by the market response to the missed goal. Class-action status was sought for shareholders who had purchased Tesla stock between May 3, 2016 and November 1, 2017.
Tesla, however, had already admitted to shareholders in October 2017 that the Model 3’s production ramp was behind schedule, causing $TSLA stock to plunge from $350 to about $300. The weekly goal of 5,000 Model 3’s produced was not actually met until June 2018, but Tesla was transparent about the process challenges in meeting that number, as decided by Judge Breyer in his dismissal. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Lady Tankerville exhibition
An exhibition of previously unseen watercolour illustrations by a trailblazing Northumberland artist and scientist will finally see her accomplishments recognised.
The Lady Tankerville exhibition at County Hall, Morpeth, shines a light on the work of Emma, 4th Countess of Tankerville, (1752 -1836) and her leading role in 18th Century botanical research.
Researched and curated by June Watson, Doctoral Candidate, at Northumbria University, the exhibition harks back to an era when women were treated as little more than adornments and chattels.
As horticulture was deemed an acceptable pastime for women Lady Tankerville found an outlet for her curious mind by working behind the scenes as a botanist and ‘secret’ scientist.
Recently discovered reports on the reverse of her illustrations describe everything from the potential medical uses of the plants to their suitability for textile dyes for commercial use.
As a forerunner to the modern-day feminist, she was seen to pose a threat to the establishment but despite making a substantial contribution to 18th century science she was later airbrushed from history.
Emma spent much of her married life at Chillingham Castle in Northumberland, from where she travelled to Madeira to create the drawings on show at Northumberland County Hall.
June said: “It is obvious that her botanical drawings were a labour of love. This was a time when women weren’t allowed to attend university but Lady Tankerville was determined and found a way to share what she learned through her networks and connections.“I feel privileged to be the person to do this work and help gain such a pioneer the acknowledgement she deserves.”
Councillor Jeff Watson, Northumberland County Council Cabinet Member for Culture, Heritage and Libraries, said ”This painstaking research has ensured that Lady Tankerville’s legacy will live on after being hidden away and ignored for so long.
“I believe our residents will be interested to see the paintings – which are astonishingly detailed and beautiful – and to learn more about one of Northumberland’s true visionaries.”
June’s in-depth research into Lady Tankerville and her family was supported by Northumberland Archives, Woodhorn, where an extensive collection of the family’s papers has been held since the 1970s, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
The Royal Botanic Garden, Kew has owned the full Tankerville collection of 648 botanical illustrations since 1932. They are held in a special temperature-controlled room due to their condition. Kew hopes the exhibition will raise awareness of the need to acquire funds for their conservation.
June will also talk about her work at County Hall on Friday, March 3 (2pm to 3pm); Tuesday, March 21 (1pm to 2pm) and Monday, March 27 (2pm to 3pm). The exhibition runs until March 31.
A booklet written by June with details and images of all the plants in the exhibition will be available at the talks for £2.99. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I’m sure he watches because it excites him, and he’s secretly stroking too. At the very least, it probably gives him an erection also.
QUESTION: I share a dorm room at a Christian college, and my roommate often watches me masturbate at night. Sometimes I can see his eyes shining faintly in the dark. In fact, having him as a witness excites me more! Also, I often hear him do it, but he hides in under his covers and won’t admit he does it at all. Isn’t this a waste of all the fun we could be having together?
RESPONSE: Your fantasy about sharing masturbation with this guy you room with is understandably hot and arousing to you. Only he’s clearly a bit more inhibited by the conditioned shyness about masturbation that so many guys still suffer in today’s world. It’s not surprising to me that you are at such a school, and still an avid masturbator, as almost all human males in the world are basically enthusiasts, except for some who feel too ashamed to fully enjoy it, or others with medical issues that sadly prevent such enjoyment.
In my opinion masturbation is one of life’s greatest pleasures—perhaps not the one and only for me—still, of major importance. Partnered sex can be fantastic, and it can also be a bit frustrating trying to communicate just what you want most and like best to another person. A special virtue of masturbation, as you know, is that it’s really entirely up to you how much pleasure you get to have. Also, shameless masturbation is actually beneficial in that it enhances your self-esteem, exercises important organs that connect with your entire body overall, and helps to keep you a happier, more balanced human male. It generates beneficial brain chemicals and hormones.
There is nothing unusual or wrong about the fact your roommate watching you masturbate excites you further. I’m sure he watches because it excites him, and he’s secretly stroking too. At the very least, it probably gives him an erection also.
At the same time, you apparently have no idea how he would react if you actually suggested that you both masturbate openly together. It’s probably wisest to leave it up to him to make the next move, if that will ever happen, and perhaps someday he will. Just don’t count on it until it happens. The kind of school you attend may suggest how this other guy was raised, and he may not be quite so free of inhibitions as you seem to be. Guys really vary a lot in how religious background influences masturbation.
You might also wish to consider carefully if it might be worth be the risk of simply speaking out. Consider how much you might have to lose—or not! You might lose an amiable roomie relationship, or it could possibly turn into something even hotter than your fantasies about it. Of course, this kind of more direct, assertive approach is entirely up to you.
Be grateful for the hot erotic fun you are already having, stroking while you know he watches, and perhaps stroking again when you hear him doing it. Though the best may still be ahead in this situation, at least for now you have matters in hand!
A note from The Batemaster: I’m honored that the guys at Bateworld have asked me to respond to some questions from male masturbators around the world every week.
Always check with your doctor about any issues you might be experiencing with your sexual organs. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important. This article’s purpose is to inform and entertain readers and is not a substitute for medical advice or treatment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Design and implement SF6-free solutions for the grid
Decrease SF6 emissions by establishing cross-sector partnerships to identify, design, develop and implement SF6-free assets
Sulphur hexafluoride – also known as SF6 – is a synthetic, odorless gas used in the electricity industry (1) for insulation to keep networks running safely and reliably. As a longstanding contributor to global warming, SF6 is one of the most potent known greenhouse gases (2). It is estimated that, over a 100-year period, its global warming potential is 23,500 higher than the one of CO2 (IPPC, AR5).
Today, SF6 leakages are one of the most material operation emissions sources for the UK’s National Grid, representing a 4% of Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2022. The company has committed to reduce SF6 emissions from its global operations by 50% by 2030. It also has an ambition to eliminate all SF6 gas from its assets by 2050.
While leak detection and repair remain a strategic priority, developing and implementing SF6 free assets is essential to meet those targets.
For the last decade, the National Grid has worked with partners to identify, develop and implement SF6-free solutions.
In 2017, an industry milestone was achieved with the energization of the first SF6-free 420 kV gas-insulated line on its South-East England network. The introduction of the g-cubed (G3) solution provided an opportunity for the National Grid to be at the forefront of new technology development.
The company has continued to take opportunities to adopt SF6-free technologies in the UK:
Only SF6-free technology for 132kV applications will be deployed, where these technologies are now commercially available
At higher voltages, where technology development is still ongoing, there is a commitment to hybrid SF6/SF6-free projects, which could dramatically reduce the amount of SF6 installed. The company will adopt fully SF6-free solutions as they become available
At the Richborough 400kV substation in the UK, working in close collaboration with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), the National Grid has commissioned a pilot project to remove SF6 from an existing gas insulated busbar and replace it with an alternative gas, delivering around 99% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
Further, in the US, it collaborated with circuit breaker manufacturers to explore available SF6 alternatives. As a result, the company has ordered a 115kV vacuum circuit breaker for delivery in 2023.
The National Grid also piloted a non-SF6 69 kV vacuum circuit breaker in 2012, and has since installed an additional twelve 69 kV vacuum circuit breakers. Finally, it has formed a partnership with The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), a US-based non-profit research and development organization, for the monitoring and evaluation of SF6 alternatives.
Targeted emission sources
Scope 1 emissions. SF6 leakages represented 4% of the company Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2022.
The pilot project at the Richborough 400kV substation has replaced 755kg of SF6, requiring minimal changes to equipment. This technique has the potential to remove around 28,000kg of SF6 from assets of the same design across our UK network. The National Grid will be working with all key OEMs to explore further opportunities.
The National Grid Ventures business asset replacement program estimates a reduction in SF6 emissions by over 70% at the IFA interconnector sub-station, by 2025.
Impact beyond climate
By letting manufacturers know utilities are in the market for more sustainable solutions, the company aims to reduce its direct emissions and advance the US market, offering cleaner options for all buyers.
This solution is currently in the trial stage, so there are currently no known side effects. As the trial and implementation process continues, side effects will be assessed to ensure a fair transition across all the National Grid's work.
Partnership with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), a US-based non-profit research and development organization, for the monitoring and evaluation of SF6 alternatives
Close collaboration with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and circuit breaker manufacturers
Key parameters to consider
Solution maturity: As these are currently no established technologies, the company is ensuring rigorous tests on its own network to ensure that it meets the required safety and reliability standards
Lifetime: Not yet known – presumed to be 30 plus years. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
