Wisecracking pen-for-hire Jaine Austen is back–and she’s about to discover that working on the set of a Hollywood sitcom is no laughing matter. Jaine still hasn’t found a good man–or a way to keep all those sugary snacks from going straight to her hips. But–with a little help from her best friend Kandi–she’s finally landed a gig as a sitcom writer! True, Muffy ‘n Me isn’t going to win any Emmys, but for Jaine, being on staff sure beats writing boring brochures and bad resumes. Until the plot thickens–with murder.
Jaine figures the trouble all started when Muffy ‘n Me’s hottest star, gorgeous Quinn Kirkland, seduced the head writer–whose husband also works on the show. But when Quinn’s caught in bed with the barely-legal actress who plays his niece, things really heat up–and his many jealous girlfriends start to figure things out.
So when the no-good heartthrob drops dead after nibbling a poisoned doughnut, Jaine isn’t terribly surprised. But who could have done it? A competitive co-star and a couple of scorned lovers top Jaine’s list of suspects, but the police have zeroed in on her man-crazy pal Kandi. Now Jaine has to figure out who finally stopped Quinn’s cheatin’ heart–before her best friend ends up behind bars.
More Facts for Readers about our Sleuth:
Main Sleuth: Jaine Austen (age 36)
Physical Description: White female, curvy, brown curly hair
Best friend: Kandi Tobolowski
Location: Beverly Hills, California
Time of Year: Spring (April?)
Business: writer on a sitcom
Pet: 1 cat named Prozac
Love Interest: None specifically
Diversity? Yes and No. This book was written in the early 2000s before a time of “wokeness” so while the main sleuth is a white female who seems liberal and open-minded she is also self aware of her own stereotypical ways of thinking. For example, in this particular book she sees a man of color and assumes he is approaching her in a bad way when in fact he is a doctor who ends up being really helpful. She’s self-aware of her stereotyping and prejudice in the moment, but the fact that it was still written into the book itself implies that the author thinks this way too. Is she calling attention to the dangers of stereotyping? Yes. But does it suck that it’s still in the book? Yes.
The fun continues in “Last Writes” book 2 in the Jaine Austen murder mystery series by Laura Levine. This early 2000’s book again has tons of references to pop culture which would likely be lost on the next generation (I’m a Millenial as a point of reference). At the time it was written I’m sure this was very relevant and tapped into a vein of women who were living fast-paced, single girl lives where a little black dress was an absolute must to break into the dating scene. And I don’t say this as an insult or criticism – it’s just a different type of feminism.
This books has a lot more sex and va-va-voom than a typical cozy, but if you like your books juicy and scandalous then you’ll have fun with this series – it’s definitely a girls on the go type of thriller. The main sleuth is sassy and has tongue in cheek humor as she deals with womanizers, cheaters, and jealous girls – but she can certainly hold her own. Lovers of the Stephanie Plum series, Ally McBeal, or Melrose Place would probably get a kick out of this series. And this is another short read at only 244 pages! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Get your plungers at the ready, because Super Mario is back! The star of the classic videogame series has had his fair share of big and small screen appearances through the years, from animated movies, to a pretty disastrous live-action ‘90s movie, but they’re giving it another go.
Perhaps the most famous Italian plumber of all time, Mario has been a staple of many childhoods throughout the years. Now, Jurassic World and MCU star Chris Pratt will take on the iconic role, lending his vocal talents to the project which is set to release in April 2023. Pratt will be joined by comedy movie actor Charlie Day as his brother Luigi, A24 movie alum Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, and if that wasn’t enough, Seth Rogen and Jack Black are also involved.
Now, the first trailer for the new Super Mario Bros movie has arrived, and you can watch it right here.
The trailer offers us a good look at this new iteration of the Mushroom Kingdom, and it’s quite the world. We also encounter Keegan-Michel Key’s Toad, who is going to help Mario on his quest to defeat Jack Black’s Bowser. We’ve all been waiting nervously on the edge of our seats to hear Chris Pratt’s accent… and we finally get a tiny taste of it here!
The animated adventure movie is due to be released on April 7, 2023. It was originally planned for 2022, but that release date got pushed back.

The seminal sitcom Seinfeld is frequently cited as one of the best television shows of all time. One of the show’s most instantly recognizable episodes is the season 3 installment in which Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and George just can’t find where they parked their car in a mall parking garage. That episode is remembered so fondly because it’s incredibly relatable. Who hasn’t forgotten where they parked their car?
The human memory is a fickle ability. We can remember something that happened five years ago with crystal clear recollection but draw a complete blank when it comes time to find our house keys or wallet on a busy morning. A new study from the University of York investigated these highly common bouts of location-related amnesia and found that in such situations our memories are usually a seemingly random game of all or nothing.
More specifically, the team of psychologists set out to answer the following question: when a person can’t recall a location-centric memory (where their car is parked, or any other item for that matter), is that memory gone forever or did it just fade with time or due to some other circumstance?
After holding a series of memory tests with a group of participants, researchers discovered that memories regarding locations appear to either be completely forgotten or remembered with precise accuracy. Basically, if you can’t remember where your car is parked right away chances are that memory isn’t coming back. In this way, location-centric memories come down to accessibility; if you can retrieve the memory it will be accurate and correct, but the trick is remembering.
Over 400 people between the ages of 18 and 35 took part in this study, which was conducted online.
“Our study set out to discover what kind of information is lost when forgetting occurs and we show that forgetting involves losses in memory accessibility with no changes in memory precision,” says study co-author Dr. Aidan Horner in a university release. “The question of how we forget is an important one. Rather than being something purely negative, forgetting may actually be beneficial to the decision making process. Our brains need to be able to discard distracting or unnecessary information so we can prioritize core information that helps to guide decision making.”
Each person was told to look at a series of words placed in circular patterns and memorize the locations of each word within the circle. Then, their memories were tested by being shown the words and asked to remember where each word should go within the circles. Some people were tested just 10 minutes after memorizing the circles, while others had to wait as long as four days.
While participants who were tested after a few or more days didn’t remember all of the words’ locations with the circle, the locations they did recall were just as accurate as people tested shortly after learning the words initially.
So, this indicates that it isn’t precision or accuracy that disappears when we forget a memory, but accessibility.
Another experiment was held in which participants looked for a pattern of words in specific spots within the circles (words referring to colors always on the left side, for example). Participants who picked up on these patterns were able to remember more generalized word-location areas, but the precision of their memories decreased.
“We found that when participants were able to learn the locations of words via a pattern, there was a trade-off between accessibility and precision. What you gain in the number of word-location associations remembered, you lose in the precision with which you remember them,” Dr. Horner explains. “For example, if you parked your car in roughly the same spot every day, you’d be more likely to remember where you parked it, but perhaps be less able to remember precisely where you parked it that specific day – you’d remember the rough, but not the precise, location.”

Wedding Law Reform
With couples seeking more personalised wedding options, wedding law reform in England and Wales has become a pressing issue. Current laws limit legal ceremonies to religious venues and registry offices, and registrar led ceremonies on licenced premises.
In response, the UK Law Commission proposed updates in 2022 to allow greater flexibility and inclusivity, enabling legally binding ceremonies across various venues and led by independent celebrants. If enacted, these changes would modernise wedding law to reflect today’s diverse preferences.
What are celebrant weddings?
Each year, at least 10,000 weddings in England and Wales are led by independent celebrants. While these ceremonies are entirely legal to hold, celebrants cannot currently perform legally binding marriages—requiring couples to complete the legal registration separately, adding cost and inconvenience.
Celebrant-led weddings have soared in popularity over the past decade, up by 46% in 2024 alone according to HItched.com. This increase is clearly driven by the desire for personalised, bespoke ceremonies and increased awareness of alternative options. Yet, with current marriage laws dating back to 1836, reform is widely recognized as overdue, as the system no longer serves the diverse and inclusive needs of modern couples.
What is the wedding law review?
The Law Commission’s review into the wedding law of England and Wales began in earnest in 2019, with the final report passed to government in July 2022. The Law Commission was asked by the UK Government to conduct this review due to the current laws being so outdated, complex and unfit for modern couples.
In its final recommendations the Law Commission proposed moving away from the current buildings-based licensing system in favour of an officiant-based system. As an Independent Celebrant, I am delighted to see that independent celebrants were listed as one of the key groups that could be considered as licensed officiants.
Ultimately it will be the government’s decision whether to a) press ahead with wedding law reform; and b) allow independent officiants and/or belief organisations to conduct legally binding weddings. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A building with history
Built in the late 1800s, the Post Office, located right next to the famous Moss Vale train line, linking Sydney to the Southern Highlands, was the main official building of this small town.
It played a vital role as it delivered mail to its inhabitants as well as provided constant communication between the city and the area to visiting governors.
It stayed as a Post Office for over 100 years.
In the 1990 it began morphing into offices, a bank and 20 years later, cafes.
In March 2017 restorations began to bring back to life, and back to the 21st Century, this beautiful heritage listed building.
It is situated right in the midst of Moss Vale, which is no longer a little sleepy, country town but, a vibrant place to be with now, an array of boutiques, restaurants, shops & an easy train ride up to Sydney (or down to Melbourne). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Flooding is a major concern for Floridians, especially with the state’s extensive coastline and frequent storms. While most homeowners’ insurance policies don’t cover flood damage, understanding Florida’s flood insurance requirements can help protect your property from devastating losses. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Flood Insurance is Mandatory for High-Risk Areas
If you live in a designated flood zone, particularly one classified as a high-risk area (Special Flood Hazard Area, or SFHA), you are required to purchase flood insurance if you have a federally backed mortgage. These areas are identified by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), and the risk of flooding is considered significant.
2. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
Most flood insurance policies in Florida are purchased through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which is managed by FEMA. This government-backed program offers affordable coverage for flood-related damage to your home, personal property, and possessions. Even if you aren’t in a high-risk flood zone, you can still purchase flood insurance through NFIP, and it’s a good idea to consider it, as flooding can happen anywhere.
3. Flood Insurance Coverage Limits
Flood insurance typically covers two main types of property: the structure and the contents. For homes, the building coverage can go up to $250,000, while personal property (furniture, electronics, etc.) is typically covered up to $100,000. If you have valuable items or a higher-value home, you may want to consider additional coverage through private insurers to ensure adequate protection.
4. Flood Zones and Risk Assessment
Flood zones are classified based on the level of flood risk. FEMA has mapped these zones to help homeowners understand their flood risks. Properties in high-risk areas may have higher premiums, while those in low-to-moderate risk zones may find flood insurance to be more affordable. However, keep in mind that flood insurance is recommended even if you’re not in a high-risk zone because floods can still occur in unexpected locations.
5. Flood Insurance Does Not Cover Everything
While flood insurance covers damage to your home and belongings from rising floodwaters, it does not cover damage caused by moisture, mold, or water seeping through a foundation after the fact. It also typically won’t cover damage from other weather events, such as wind or rain from a hurricane, unless flooding specifically occurs.
6. The Waiting Period
One important thing to note is that flood insurance policies generally have a 30-day waiting period before they become effective. This means that you can’t wait until a storm is imminent to purchase coverage. Plan ahead and make sure you have flood insurance well before hurricane season begins.
Flood insurance is an essential protection for Floridians, given the state’s vulnerability to storms and rising waters. Whether you live in a high-risk area or not, it’s crucial to understand your flood insurance options and ensure your home and belongings are covered. With the right preparation, you can protect your property from the unexpected—and avoid the financial strain of flood damage. Stay informed, stay protected!

IPOH: Perak Deputy Police Chief DCP Zulkafli Sariaat is assuming the duties of Perak Police Chief effective Friday.
Zulkafli took over the job from Datuk Azizi Mat Aris who is going on compulsory retirement after holding the post since last July 16. Aziz joined the police force on April 5, 1987.

"All these efforts are based on the commitment shown by all department heads and district police chiefs who have worked with me to ensure that all work plans are carried out smoothly and effectively,” he said.
Meanwhile, Mohd Shuhaily in his speech said Azizi's retirement is a great loss for the Royal Malaysia Police.
"I am confident that Zulkafli will be able to take on the task based on his experience,” he said and thanked Azizi for his service. - Bernama | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Astrid Krag- Olsen
As a child growing up in Zambia, Astrid’s world was a kaleidoscope of inquisitiveness and exploration. Many of these elements come through in her many-layered paintings, reflecting an awareness of social issues, delving into the psyche and the nuances of life in all its facets. As a tiny tot, barefoot and wild amongst a family of creatives she drew spiders and insects on everything, connecting them with lines from one to the other.
On moving the furniture, her parents were astonished to find immense amounts of insect graffiti carefully hidden from sight. She was smitten from the beginning. Her love of color and light and the dance between them was thoroughly explored during a long career in photography where her pictures were exhibited in galleries across the globe and commissions published in magazines and books (including her own). Life for Astrid has always been a visual canvas of discovery and texture. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Madonna on Thursday called out Instagram for “censorship” and “sexism” for removing a post of sexy photos “without warning or notification” over the appearance of an exposed nipple.
The “Beautiful Stranger” singer reposted a handful of pics of herself, showing her in fishnets and lingerie, after she said the shots were previously taken down over an exposed nipple. “The reason they gave my management that does not handle my account was that a small portion of my nipple was exposed,” Madonna wrote in the caption of her photo reshares.
In that second posting of the shots, Madonna made one minor edit — putting a heart emoji over said body part.
Reacting to the original removal of the pics, the “Sex” author questioned the long-standing Instagram rule.
“It is still astounding to me that we live in a culture that allows every inch of a woman’s body to be shown except a nipple. As if that is the only part of a woman’s anatomy that could be sexualized. The nipple that nourishes the baby! Can’t a mans nipple be experienced as erotic ??!! And what about a woman’s ass which is never censored anywhere,” she wrote (one of the photos showed her fishnet clad bottom and her legs as her top half hid under a bed).
She continued: “Giving thanks that I have managed to maintain my sanity through four decades of censorship…… sexism……ageism and misogyny. Perfectly timed with the lies we have been raised to believe about the pilgrims peacefully breaking bread with the Native American Indians when they landed on Plymouth Rock! God bless America.”
Madonna ended her rant with the hashtag for “artists are here to disturb the peace.”
The pop icon isn’t the only celeb to have photos removed over an exposed female nipple. Rihanna shared a magazine cover she was on that had her nipple exposed in 2014, and it was removed from the site. Miley Cyrus has also had an image removed by the service.
A rep for Meta, Instagram’s parent company, released a statement to TheWrap reading: “We take down content that breaks our rules whenever we find it, no matter who posts it. While we understand not everyone will always agree with where we draw the line, our rules are designed to help keep everyone of all ages safe on our apps, while giving space for as much expression as possible.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Fall has arrived and that means if you plan to burn now through November 30, 2023, there are restrictions and requirements in place to protect Montana’s air quality. Burning should comply with state and local air quality rules. The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) encourages safe burning practices and good judgment to prevent wildfires.
Follow these steps to burn September through November:
• Obtain a permit from your local fire control authority at https://app.egovmt.com/burnpermit/. If your county is not listed on the website, call your local fire control authority to obtain one.
• Check for restrictions at Open Burning | Montana DEQ (mt.gov) or by calling the ventilation hotline at 800-225-6779. DEQ issues time, elevation and county restrictions for open burning.
• Check with your local air quality program for restrictions in Missoula, Cascade, Yellowstone, Lincoln and Flathead counties.
• On the day of your burn, activate your county permit.
• Be aware of local conditions and burn smart.
• Check back Dec. 1 for winter burn season requirements. During winter burn season, in addition to a permit from your local fire control authority, DEQ approval is required and can be obtained here: Winter Open Burning.
Only clean, untreated wood and plant material may be burned. Do not burn: food wastes, plastics, wood that has been coated, painted, stained, or treated, dead animals or animal droppings, rubber materials, chemicals, asphalt shingles, tar paper, hazardous wastes or structures containing these materials. The DEQ website has information about what materials can and cannot be burned, frequently asked questions about open burning, state-issued major open burning permits, and local contact information. For more information, visit: burnclosures.mt.gov
Before starting fires any time of year, please remember to contact your local authorities to provide notification of the burn, check for fire safety concerns and obtain necessary local open burning permits.
To mitigate the risk for catastrophic wildfires, DEQ works closely with local, state and federal partners to manage prescribed burns that reduce fuels. Weather permitting, these fires are scheduled during favorable burn windows to minimize impacts to air quality. For more information on specific prescribed fires in your community, check out the Montana/Idaho Airshed Group website at: https://mi.airshedgroup.org/ | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This will be the first Philharmonic matinee performance in many years. The 3 p.m. start time is designed to make it possible for the orchestra’s fans who are unable to attend evening concerts to enjoy the region’s only professional symphony orchestra.
The film “Maestra,” featuring our very own Mélisse Brunet has recently been added to the Netflix queue. You can see Mélisse shine in the documentary at your leisure, and proceed to come out to see her and our regional symphonic orchestra shine on the local Cultural Center stage.
The program will feature Bizet’s popular “Carmen Suites” which will be performed with dancers from Ballet Theatre of Scranton, Lalo’s “Symphony Espangole” with renowned violinist William Hagen as soloist, and, after intermission, the majestic Sibelius Fifth Symphony.
Prize winning American violinist William Hagen will bring his talent to the NEPA Philharmonic for the first time. He has performed as a soloist with the Seattle Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Belgian National Orchestra, and Amsterdam Sinfonietta. His 2024-2025 concert schedule includes performing with the Richmond Symphony, the Pirosmani Quartet on a tour of Ireland, the Utah Chamber Music Festival, the Syracuse Orchestra (with Larry Loh), the Southwest Florida Symphony, the Pasadena Symphony and more.
Reserved seats may be purchased at NEPAPhil.org or by calling the Philharmonic Box Office, (570) 270-4444. Tickets are available from $42 and students K-12 are invited to attend at no charge. Tickets may also be purchased at the Scranton Cultural Box Office, including on concert day. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mustang Door Panels
Sports car enthusiasts of all ages go to great lengths to keep the cabin area of their Ford Mustang in pristine condition. Each time you enter and exit your classic or modern vehicle, the interior features stand out. If the original doors on your Mustang have seen better days, Top Flight Automotive brings customers aftermarket panel replacements for a factory-fresh or custom appearance.
It used to be difficult to find compatible door panels for Mustangs no longer in production, but our online store features compatible replicas organized by make, model and year for a smooth installation process. Easily erase signs of wear and tear with replacement door panels in all of your favorite Ford-inspired interior colors!
Why Replace Mustang Door Panels?
Ford owners often forget that Mustang doors are some of the most frequently used components inside the cabin. These pieces are responsible for supporting window installations and even work to keep you safe during a minor collision. Now that select Mustang models are over 50 years old, it is an excellent time to assess your vehicle’s original door panels for missing pieces, dents, scratches and tears in the upholstery.
Dating as far back as 1964, Mustang models showcased door setups with chrome trims, carpet accents and bold colors to match dashboards and seating. Top Flight Automotive caters to past and present Mustangs with door panels and accessories for all six generations. Maintain collector and resale value with the following door components and assemblies on our online store:
- Standard door panels
- Deluxe door panels
- Door arm control trim pieces
- Door felts
- Door window cranks and handles
- Door lock trims
- Door sills
- And more
Mustang Standard and Deluxe Door Panels
The easiest way to bring your Mustang’s doors back to original condition is through standard or deluxe panel sets from Top Flight Automotive. Our door panel replacements offer an exact fit to your stock interior setup as they are crafted for 1964-1973 first-generation models.
Depending on your Mustang’s model year, reproduction standard and deluxe door panels consist of fiberboard or ABS plastic materials for long-lasting restoration results.
Door panel products have pre-cut holes for hardware and handles inside the cockpit to keep the installation process simple. Standard sets are an economical route for door panel replacement, and deluxe orders include carpet accents and molds for armrest attachments (based on production year and package). Top Flight Automotive’s Mustang panels are manufactured in the United States and are available in signature Ford interior colors including:
- Medium blue
- Ivy gold
For desirable results, add replacement felts, window cranks and handles to door panel upgrades. Top Flight Automotive’s sales representatives can steer you toward replica components during our normal business hours.
Contact Top Flight Automotive for Mustang Door Panels
Top Flight Automotive is excited to be part of the Extra Mile Brands family of companies.

Local elementary students are getting their game on tomorrow in Transylvania University’s esports arena.
A dozen teams from several local schools — including George Washington Carver STEM Academy, Rise STEM Academy and Mary Todd Elementary — will compete for prizes and the championship title of their inaugural season.
Dylan Osborne, Transylvania’s esports coach, advised Fayette County Public Schools faculty as the local elementaries set up their esports programs this past fall.
The gamers, who’ll be playing Super Smash Bros., Rocket League and Mario Kart, had been competing online in matches leading up to the tournament. So tomorrow evening will be a chance for them to get to know each other beyond just a screen name — “maybe even make friends who want to practice together,” said Osborne, whose own players are getting ready for the playoffs after a phenomenal first season last year.
He also pointed out how being on a college campus for an esports competition — and seeing that they could one day play for a college team — might help motivate these young gamers to study hard and continue their education after high school.
The tournament ties into a larger project for Osborne: getting the word out about his program. “I would definitely like to get the community involved as much as possible,” he said.
Learn more about Transylvania’s esports program, which is sponsoring tomorrow’s event, along with Extraordinary Esports, Lexmark, Raising Cane’s and SI Legacy. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Noise rock and post-hardcore have undergone a significant evolution since the 1990s, but the most significant change is that both subgenres have steered course toward the booming and burly aesthetics of metal. This isn’t all that surprising, given the history; at the time, bands like Quicksand and Helmet were often labeled “alt-metal” for lack of anything better to dub these abrasive, heavy, yet still modern-rock friendly outfits. And today, bands like KEN Mode, Kowloon Walled City and Empty Flowers are merely taking that approach just a bit deeper into sludgy waters, maintaining a reverence for dissonant textures and churning rhythms, yet bolstering them with an added boost of muscle.
Ojai, California’s Fell to Low occupy the liminal space between metal and post-hardcore, their harshly melodic riffs leaning toward the latter while their awe-inspiring heft and menacing screams push them closer to the former. Yet what keeps them from ever truly being a metal band is their preference for texture over power. Indeed, their songs more than slay when it comes to going for the viscera, but not all of their avenues lead so directly toward the gut. On “Galore,” the leadoff track to new album Low in the Dust, a single guitar chord rings out for a good 40 seconds or so without much else happening, the constant drone not unlike that of the feedback hum that begins Unwound’s final album, Leaves Turn Inside You.
When it comes to breaking that tension, however, Fell to Low dutifully destroy. When “Galore” finally breaks, it erupts into a beastly, bellowing thing, like an outtake from Nirvana’s In Utero played by Botch. There’s a much more direct approach to “Urizen,” a careening and complex slab of punk rock that has roots in Drive Like Jehu’s wheel of time signatures. It’s always turning and twisting, tires screeching, never letting off the acceleration as it heads in any given direction. And that makes it a lot of fun, if a lot to process in less than three minutes. Yet the dense layers of guitars on “Mapmaker” place it as the strongest point on the album’s first half, favoring a subtler approach to melody, if not a quieter one.
The second half of Low in the Dust—which, duration-wise, is really more like two thirds of it—comprises the band’s longest songs, which range between nine and 13 minutes apiece. And truly, here’s where the band’s strengths shine through, building up a jaw-dropping dynamic on the death waltz of “Boundary,” or the epic stomp and screech of “Saturn.” Yet the longer the band’s songs run, the more their ’90s-era inspiration seems to most directly come into focus, and less that of their more metal-leaning tendencies. Not that the distinction is all that important—a bruise by any other name would smart just as much.

This showy New York home designed by Stamberg Aferiat + Associates looks more like an art installation than a house. The illuminated abode is a contemporary cubist sculpture boasting twisted skewed roofs and translucent walls that glow eerily from within. It’s certainly an unexpected sight among the grassy grounds and leafy trees surrounding it. Visible from afar, the lighted angles and vibrant colors rank the Shelter Island House tops among one-of-a-kind homes. If you’re a lover of the weird, the wacky, the wonderful, then this home is definitely a must see!
According to the architects, “Let the line that divides art from architecture be transparent. This project gave us an opportunity to bring our influences, inspirations, aspirations and years of architectural design to bear in one place with only ourselves and our budget to define the boundaries.”
The 1,100 sq. ft. summer home is a cool combination of open and closed all at once. Incorporating open areas with walls, this structure offers enough living space for the R&R purposes for which it was designed, while maintaining an intimate scale. The smart and trendy color-blocking technique breaks up the walls that offer privacy without completely closing the home off from the outside world.
The skewed rubber roof topping the home is inverted, angled upward rather than down like in typical homes. Alas, nothing about this is typical, from shape and layout to materials and colors.
“Architecture coupled with color can bring joy while providing the basic necessities. Building our own house gave us the leeway to be as bold with our color choices as the work would allow and to push boundaries that few dare, but our choices were always based in serious color theory,” explain the architects.
The amazing use of color gives this home so many different layers, overlapping and luring you to explore what’s behind each one. Behind the bold privacy walls, the home’s facade of frosted glass hides interiors from prying eyes while allowing the free flow of light – natural light comes in, and indoor illumination permeates out!
This cool color treatment has an almost industrial feel, with corrugated steel walls that reek of art gallery meets studio space meets creative corner, concealed in its mix of hues and layers.
Once you get past the solid exterior, a private courtyard reveals a sweet retreat – a refreshing pool flanked by the two volumes and sharing in the shade of their massive overhanging roofs. Sit by the pool and enjoy some warm sunshine or cool shade.
This colorful getaway has a whimsical look and feel to it that makes you feel like you’re a million miles away or in another world even. The underside of the roofs is a vibrant yellow hue that evokes eternal sunshine, even when it’s raining. At the far end of the outdoor patio area, a clear glass wall reveals an interior that’s every bit as colorful as the exterior.
This quirky color palette continues inside, where a citrus ceiling hangs over this vibrant space, enclosed in translucent exterior walls that are ultra-modern, funky and fabulous. Interior walls carry the home’s signature color blocking finish, with a corrugated orange wall extending from outdoors in, and a bubblegum pink feature wall displaying a sleek, suspended steel fireplace. Cozy furnishings are a nice contrast to the cool decor elements, like the fireplace and contemporary-style lighting.
A walkout to the outdoors reveals an unusual industrial sculpture that seems a little out of place in this cartoonish courtyard.
This bedroom is a vision of luscious lime. A bank of yellow cabinets complements this vibrant theme. A feature wall boasts a collage of pink and purple flowers, towering above a pink and purple bedspread.
The translucent walls and clerestory windows add natural light and a neutral element to this screaming space.
From the architects, “Sir Isaac Newton observed the different behavior of color created with pigment and color created with light. The Impressionists and Fauves experimented with Newtonian principles to create light effects with pigment. These experiments have redefined thoughts on how colors relate to one another. Guided by Newtonian color theory, the intense palette of the house allows richly-colored reflected light to pass through translucent walls, suffusing spaces with a delighting glow.”
The next bedroom is a sorbet dream. Peach walls and a yellow ceiling encircle a curved translucent wall with a rectangular window peeking into the outdoors.
Here are some outdoor angles that reveal how this complex, multi-layer home came together:

The BC Centre for Disease Control has released an updated map of the latest coronavirus (COVID-19) hotspots in the province.
Each week, the BCCDC releases an update of the COVID-19 cases for the most recent seven-day period (Sunday to Saturday).
In the Lower Mainland, Vancouver has the second-highest number of new cases of COVID-19, with 1,060 cases identified over the past week. However, Vancouver is divided into six local health areas.
This week Vancouver - South (local health area 326) had the highest number of cases, with 230. However, it had fewer cases than it did last week when 256 new cases were identified in the local health area. Vancouver - Northeast (local health area 323) saw the region's second-highest number of cases this week, with 206.
Last week, Vancouver - City Centre (local health area 321) saw the highest number of new cases of COVID-19 in Vancouver, with 297. This week, the area saw the third-highest number of cases, with 201.
Surrey continues to see the highest number of cases provincewide, with 1,698; this also marks an increase of 125 cases in the city. Burnaby has the third-highest number of cases, with 431 identified in the past week.
The Tri-Cites local health area has the fourth-highest number of new cases in the Lower Mainland, with 411.
The map also indicates the average daily rate of new cases per 100,000 population by local health area.
People will be fined $575 for breaking the new order restricting non-essential travel in B.C.
Minister of Public Safety Mike Farnworth told reporters in a press briefing Friday (April 23) that a $575 fine will be issued to people who contravene the new order restricting non-essential travel in the province.
The new order prohibits non-essential travel between three regional zones in the province, using health authority boundaries. The new zones include the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley (Fraser Health and Coastal Health regions); Vancouver Island (Island Health region); and the Northern/Interior (Interior Health and Northern Health regions).
That said, not everyone agrees that the aforementioned regional zones will reduce transmission in key COVID-19 "hotspots" across the province. For example, several locals have commented on social media that the new order will not prohibit people from Vancouver from going to Whistler for vacations. Similarly, people who live in Surrey may still travel to Downtown Vancouver, while Vancouverites may still camp in the Fraser Valley.
Of course, Farnworth stated that the PHO’s guidance remains unchanged throughout B.C.: everyone should continue to stay within their local community – essential travel only. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Market in India
India has a long history of shipbuilding and has been a major player in the global shipbuilding industry. The country has a vast coastline of over 7,500 km and is strategically located on major international shipping routes. The shipbuilding and ship repair market in India has been growing steadily over the years, driven by increasing demand for new ships and repair services.
The shipbuilding market in India is primarily driven by the government's focus on promoting domestic shipbuilding and reducing dependence on imports. The government has launched several initiatives to boost the shipbuilding industry, including the 'Make in India' campaign and the 'Sagarmala' project. These initiatives aim to increase domestic shipbuilding capacity, enhance infrastructure, and promote innovation and technology development.
India has a number of shipyards that are capable of building a wide range of vessels, including bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, and offshore vessels. Some of the major players in the Indian shipbuilding industry include Cochin Shipyard, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers, and Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders.
Ship Repair Market
The ship repair market in India is also growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for repair and maintenance services from domestic and international ship owners. India has a number of modern ship repair yards that are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and skilled workforce. Some of the major players in the Indian ship repair industry include Cochin Shipyard, Hindustan Shipyard, and Bharati Defence and Infrastructure.
The Indian government has also taken several initiatives to promote the ship repair industry, including the establishment of a dedicated ship repair cluster in Gujarat and the development of a ship repair policy to attract more investment in the sector.
In conclusion, the shipbuilding and ship repair market in India is poised for significant growth in the coming years, driven by government initiatives, increasing demand for new ships and repair services, and the country's strategic location on major shipping routes.Shipyards for Repair

Maple Leafs D Klingberg to have hip surgery, will miss rest of season
Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman John Klingberg will have hip surgery at the end of December and will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season, general manager Brad Treliving told the media on Wednesday.
"I’ll have a better idea as we finalize what is going to get done and ultimately once they do the procedure of how long rehab is going to be, but it’s safe to say a five-to-six month range," Treliving said of Klingberg's timeline.
The 31-year-old, who signed a one-year, $4.15 million contract with the Maple Leafs in the summer, hasn't played since Nov. 11 due to the injury. He was placed on the long-term injured reserve on Nov. 23.
Klingberg struggled during his 14 games with the Leafs this season, recording five assists while being minus-7.
Over 633 career games with the Dallas Stars, Ducks, Wild and Maple Leafs, Klingberg has netted 81 goals and 331 assists. He also has eight goals and 31 assists over 63 career playoff games, including 59 games with the Stars.
Klingberg was selected in the fifth round of the 2010 NHL Draft by the Stars.
Maple Leafs Exploring Trade Market
The Maple Leafs have dealt with multiple injuries on the blueline this season, with Mark Giordano and Timothy Liljegren currently sidelined.
Treliving acknowledged Wednesday that the Maple Leafs have "investigated" the trade market for defensive help, though no move appears imminent.
“Would we like to help ourselves there? Sure,"Treliving said. "But having said that, what’s the cost and what’s the availability of players out there that ultimately can come in and make a difference?"
Liljegren, who has been sidelined since Nov. 2 with a lower-body injury, has resumed skating and appears to be drawing closer to a return. Giordano was labelled week-to-week with a broken finger suffered last Tuesday against the Florida Panthers.
Toronto sits fourth in the Atlantic Division with a 12-6-4 record and will visit the Ottawa Senators on Thursday. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

An odd media release from CTV:
Canadian Idol Alert: Executive Producer Responds to Toronto Eliminations
- Statement by John Brunton, Executive Producer, Canadian Idol
“Last night’s elimination of three competitors from this year’s Canadian Idol Top 22 is disgraceful. Toronto lost half of its competitors in one night, and 75% of the eliminated competitors were from our city. These were three great young singers – any one of which would have made a fantastic Top 10 competitor.
Each year, more people come out to audition in Toronto than in any other
city. Each year, Canadian Idol judges select more people from Toronto to be in the Top 22 than any other city. But no competitor from Toronto has made it to the Top 10 since Season One, four years ago, and that’s pathetic.
I’m not really supposed to do this. I’m supposed to be impartial. But as a born and bred Torontonian, I’m fed up with the lack of attention and respect paid to the bright, young singers from Toronto. They deserve more. It should not be a disadvantage to be a Canadian Idol competitor from Toronto.
While the rest of the country is buzzing about Canadian Idol and the success of their hometown heroes, Toronto is not paying attention. Toronto is not supporting the local talent found right in its own backyard.
This isn’t about regional voting. Each competitor needs the support of the entire country to move forward in the competition. But hometown pride also plays a huge role. To know that your hometown is cheering for you makes a difference.
There are three competitors left from Toronto – and one from Hamilton – and I hope everyone in this great city of ours does all that they can to support them next week.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Prof Subrata Ghosh is the chair and head of medicine at University College Cork and deputy director of APC Microbiome Ireland, a world leading SFI Research Centre headquartered in UCC. He is considered one of the global leaders in research into Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, causes of these diseases and their treatment with new therapies that target the intestinal immune balance.
Subrata has previously held prestigious positions at Universities in Scotland, England and Canada. His contribution to life sciences have been recognised by his nominations as Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences, UK and Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, both recognised as the highest honour for contribution and leadership to life sciences and health. He responded to a global search and moved to UCC, attracted by the world class research into microbes and food at APC Microbiome Ireland and Teagasc. He strongly feels that many of the important clues to what underlies the cause of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, currently incurable, are emerging from research at APC and Teagasc and his own research now aligns very closely to such research. He feels that at Cork he has a strong chance to solve these diseases by working together with the excellent scientists at APC and Teagasc.

2015 Royal Birth Princess Charlotte Five Pound Crown Brilliant Uncirculated Coin In Folder
The Brilliant Uncirculated 2015 Birth of Princess Charlotte Five Pound Coin was released to celebrate the latest addition to the Royal Family. Princess Charlotte was born at Saint May’s Hospital, London on May 2nd, 2015 and is the second child born to Prince William and Princess Catherine. Her full name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, which pays homage to her grandfather, her great grandmother and her mother. John Bergdahl is responsible for the traditional engraving on the reverse, which is a similar design to the crown coin issued for the christening of Prince George in 2013. Bergdahl’s illustration complements the obverse design, which features the fifth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as designed by Jody Clark. Followers of Royal Mint coinage will spot the word ‘five’ has been replaced by the number ‘5’ in the legend, which was unusual on UK coins at the time. Your £5 coin will be encased in a protective capsule, which in turn will be attached to an attractive Royal Mint presentation folder. The cupro-nickel coin weighs 28.28 grams and measures 38.61 millimetres in diameter. It’s struck twice during production, which stands apart from normal coinage which is only struck once. A wonderful memento for any enthusiast of the British Royal Family. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
UR10e Cobot Powers New Quality Assurance Solution for Car Seats
High quality translates as a decisive advantage over competitors in a global market with many players. At the same time, the lack of skilled employees is a major roadblock for many companies. In order to hold their own, many organizations are forced to manufacture under increasing pressure. In this environment, companies offering the best quality at the lowest price can count on success.
In view of this reality, quality assurances are becoming a major challenge. Performed manually, these routines hold many sources of errors.
Automotive industry: Product defects can incur ruinous effects
The automobile industry is especially impacted. The sector is driven to bring innovations to the market in increasingly short cycles. Today, companies that were formerly known for more compact vehicles with standard equipment levels are now offering vehicles with sophisticated comfort functions, such as advanced air conditioning and massage seats. Only a few years ago, the latter was the privilege of high-end luxury vehicles.
When, in spite of all measures taken, product defects arise in terms of functionality or safety, this can rapidly incur ruinous consequences. If and when defects are only detected after the products have been delivered, expensive recalls frequently result in a loss of trust in the brand and in a worst-case scenario, may put users at risk, as in the case of defective brakes or airbags.
The solution: Automation achieves consistently high quality
GÖPEL electronic based in Jena, Germany, had already developed a testing and inspection system back in 1991, supporting companies in their quality assurance. The customer portfolio includes many automobile manufacturers and suppliers mainly focused on the development and manufacture of automobile seats. Manager for GÖPEL electronic’s automotive test solutions team, Thomas Schöppe, explains what lead the company add an automated component to their testing system:
“Day in, day out, we are faced with our customers‘ challenges and realized that automating end-of-line testing could be a welcome solution,” he explains. ”We wanted to develop an application that helps companies in marketing products of consistently high quality.”
The application: Flexible integration into production sequences
GÖPEL had spent a couple of years exploring robotics options and finally opted for the UR10e, UR’s longest-reach cobot arm from its new e-Series line. Philipp Kießlich-Köcher, application engineer in the company’s automotive test solutions area, explains that GÖPEL chose UR for several reasons:
“The various features of the e-Series convinced us, such as the force sensor system that monitors the robot’s movements. We also found that Universal Robots was very open to partnering with us in system development.”
The cobot replaces the company’s EOL seating test system OsCAR. Positioned at the end of the production line, the system tests car seats of any manufacturer and ascertains their correct functioning.
Before, the testing of the GÖPEL electronic universal unit was handled manually. The system generates various types of stimuli impacting the car seat in order to simulate vehicle-driver interaction. An employee actuated all the seat’s buttons and switches in order to measure voltage, current, and other values linked to the BUS system integrated into the unit.
Due to the lateral course of motion frequently involved, it was not easy for robots to take over the functions performed by skilled workers.
The introduction of the UR cobot changed all this. The 6-axis articulated cobot arm is capable of reaching all the switches and buttons and executes all motions with the same measure of force. As opposed to a manual input, the cobot knows no fatigue and can work through entire shifts without interruptions. As a result, employees are relieved of strenuous manual input tasks, while the following tasks are now performed by the UR10e with consistent precision:
- actuation of the car seat’s buttons and switches applying consistent force.
- adjustment of electrical and manual seats at all endpoints.
- the positioning of tools for seat occupancy detection.
- insertion and release of the seat belt tongue.
The cobot is delivered with a range of different tools so that it can handle the components to be tested safely and securely, in line with the relevant processes. GÖPEL electronic not only developed the system but will also integrate it at customers on location – either into existing systems or as a complete solution.
“Thanks to the automated quality assurances, users can rely on their products leaving the manufacturing area in top condition,“ explains Schöppe. “What is more, the employees performing these tasks to date can be assigned to other activities. A clear-cut competitive advantage for our customers.“ | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Advance Notice Definition: Everything You Need to Know
Advance notice governs how stockholders propose items for a shareholder meeting — both annual and special meetings. 3 min read updated on September 19, 2022
The advance notice definition is that it governs how stockholders propose items for a shareholder meeting — both annual and special meetings. The process requires a stockholder to notify the business of their intention to propose an agenda item at the next stockholder meeting. These provisions attempt to prevent a stockholder from simply attending a meeting and raising issues.
Written Notice Law and Legal Definition
In a broad legal sense, notices are utilized to communicate the responsibilities and rights to any interested party. Legal notices can come in a variety of different forms. Any notices that are in writing are simply called written notices. It is important to note that the definition of written notice will vary from state to state and even within a state, especially among different areas of law. Virginia's Landlord Tenant Act, or Va. Code Ann. § 55-248.4, is a proper example of a state law which defines both notice and written notice.
Advance Notice Bylaws: Trends and Challenges
Advance notice provisions generally have two components:
- Usually set forth a date by which a stockholder must notify the business of the intent to propose the matter
- Identify the list of data and documents that stockholders must submit with the notice
Shareholder activism has become a common occurrence in the corporate environment, attracting daily press from news organizations. As activism becomes ever more popular, the number of legal battles continues to grow over the function and permissible scope of advance notice bylaws. Advance notice bylaws refer to the provisions constituting procedural, timing, and informational qualifications for stockholders looking to nominate directors and other proposals to a stockholder vote.
A common advance notice bylaw mandates that stockholders must submit to the corporate secretary, within 30 days of the annual meeting, any topics to discuss and vote on during the meeting. The proposal to vote for directors or discuss specific business matter is usually accompanied with relevant information regarding the topic or nominee. The information supplied to investors is intended to educate and bring awareness to open issues.
As investors become ever more sophisticated with increasingly complex strategies, so have the requirements under the advance notice bylaws to track short interests, derivatives, and specific shareholder details. The requirements are usually not required by the federal securities regulations but are provided by the board of directors to all shareholders as it's deemed relevant and pertinent. Additionally, as businesses have acknowledged pressure from governance groups and activists to allow stockholders to call special meetings, they also respect the fact that the advance notice process is still relevant, and the two formats need to follow specific protocols.
In other words, most corporations appreciate the fact that a special meeting may need to occur, but they also want to respect the prior processes created around the advance notice process. To a certain extent, the two processes need to be intertwined to keep order and maintain formal processes.
Regular Review of the Bylaws
It currently seems to be an uphill battle for advance notice bylaws. As the bylaws become more increasingly complex, businesses should be careful to consider the legal and business rationale for the procedural and informational requirements that are put on shareholders, as they may backfire. Also, it's important for businesses to occasionally review their own advance notice bylaws to ensure that they're not becoming overly cumbersome.
Consider that most courts tend to view proactive changes to the bylaws much more favorably than the changes made by an upset shareholder. In other words, if the board of directors notice something that is not ideal in the bylaws, it's a good idea to update the bylaws before the situation turns into a crisis.
As more businesses adopt written consent rights and special meetings, a regular review of the bylaws is highly recommended to ensure that the bylaws have been updated and well-drafted. The main benefit of constantly updating the bylaws is to decrease the need for significant modifications into written consent provisions or special meetings. Consultants and advisors to the business should take a thoughtful approach and find the balance between providing shareholders with everything but the kitchen sink versus what a reasonable investor would need to make a well-educated vote.
If you need help with advance notice definition, you can post your legal need on UpCounsel's marketplace. UpCounsel accepts only the top 5 percent of lawyers to its site. Lawyers on UpCounsel come from law schools such as Harvard Law and Yale Law and average 14 years of legal experience, including work with or on behalf of companies like Google, Menlo Ventures, and Airbnb. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Pearl Harbor Gold Coin is crafted with this precise level of purity. Paired with a minting process that brings history to life, the 1 oz. Pearl Harbor Gold Coin is an ideal purchase for anyone who appreciates tangible wealth, the power of gold, and America’s storied history.
Why Buy 1 oz. Pearl Harbor Gold Coins?
Simply put, gold trades easily and has long been heralded as one of the most distinguished forms of currency. The 1 oz. Pearl Harbor Gold Coin is no exception. The weight of this solid gold coin, coupled with gold’s current market price, continues to buoy its global appeal. Enhancing that appeal is the fact that Pearl Harbor Gold Coins offer a high level of financial liquidity and portability.

Proceeds from U.S. Money Reserve Pearl Harbor Gold Coins helped fund the Lone Sailor Statue at the National Park Service’s Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, which was ceremoniously unveiled on the 225th birthday of the U.S. Navy, on October 13, 2017.
The statue, designed by Stanley Bleifeld, stands guard over the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial erected in honor of the bravery displayed during the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. It calls upon the timeless values of the U.S. Navy: honor, courage, and commitment. The base of the statue contains steel from the U.S.S. Arizona.
A portion of the proceeds from every Pearl Harbor Coin sold continue to be donated to the U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation.
The 1 oz. Pearl Harbor Gold Coin is a masterpiece of artistry, commemoration, and purpose, and it is available only through U.S. Money Reserve, America's Gold Authority®. Each coin comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

They are without a doubt the most iconic sunglasses in the world. They are a cliche symbol representation of cool, and yet, somehow still cool. They are decades old, and have been popularized by cartoonishly suave celebs, from Muhammad Ali, to James Dean, to Bruce Willis.
They are the Ray-Ban Wayfarers, and now, thanks to Facebook, they come with terms of service.
Videos by VICE
According to Buzzfeed, Ray-Ban Stories, as they’re called, come with a terms of service, which means that the end of ownership has now come for fashion accessories and clothing, in addition to coffee makers, refrigerators, ebooks, tractors, etc.
Reporter Katie Notopoulos wrote that she covered a light that shows others that you’re recording them with a black piece of tape, which Facebook told her is a terms of service violation.
Much like the Snapchat Spectacles, Ray-Ban Stories allow users to capture videos and photographs with a click of a button. These images are sent to an App called View, which requires a Facebook account, and from which users can share them wherever they like, including Facebook and Instagram.
Much like the Snapchat Spectacles, Ray-Ban Stories are an evolution of Google Glass, a widely despised and failed product from Google, which made people uncomfortable because they didn’t like the idea that they could be secretly recorded by them. The light on the Ray-Ban Stories which Facebook’s terms of service forbid users from covering up aims to solve that problem.
How Facebook intends to enforce what it believes to be privacy-protecting features on a pair of sunglasses that can be thwarted with a piece of tape remains to be seen, but the mere concept of trying to control how people modify their sunglasses is almost as laughable as the glasses themselves. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

As you may know by now, the Visual Studio family (Visual Studio, Visual Studio Team Services and Team Foundation Server) has a new member: Visual Studio Code. While still in its infancy (it’s not even 1.0 at the time of this writing), it is very promising by several reasons:
- It is portable, available on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. I only buy Mac computers since some years ago, running Windows virtualized, so I like the idea of running some Visual Studio flavor on Mac OSX.
- It is modern, with a nice editor with intellisense, code assistance and navigation, debugger and themes.
- It is extensible, being built with extensibility in mind from the beginning. If you are old enough in the VS extensibility world, you may remember that the first version of Visual Studio (2002) was not extensible through packages, only through add-ins, and Visual Studio didn’t get a proper “VS SDK” until VS 2005.
- It has already tons of extensions on its own marketplace.
- It is open source, with a GitHub repository. If you are extending an IDE, it’s tremendously helpful to have the source code of that IDE, to know how it works internally. I can’t count the hours that I have spent guessing how the Visual Studio IDE works or trying to debug its assemblies with some 3rd party tools.
- It is clean, written in TypeScript and Node.js. The full Visual Studio was written originally in native C++, it was COM-based, and later it got a lot of managed C# code.
- Did I mention that it’s free?
It’s easy to see its potential, given that ASP.NET Core is also multi-platform and there will be more and more applications that won’t require the Windows desktop.
So, I have added new sections about Visual Studio Code extensibility on this site, which aims to be best resource center to extend all the Visual Studio products. They are the following:
- Overview > Visual Studio Code Extensibility
- Documentation > Visual Studio Code Extensibility
- Downloads > Visual Studio Code Extensibility
- Articles > Visual Studio Code Extensibility
- Samples > Visual Studio Code Extensibility
- Videos > Visual Studio Code Extensibility
I will populate them with more content in the next months as it becomes available. And hopefully there will be even a section for Books at some point. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

On World Oceans Day, Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Improves Fishery Sustainability
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Walton Family Foundation announced today a grant renewal to Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) to advance sustainability in nine seafood sectors, including octopus, tuna, shrimp, squid, mahi-mahi, whitefish, reduction fisheries, blue swimming crab, and snapper-grouper. SFP leverages the buying power of companies across the seafood supply chain to drive actions to rebuild depleted fisheries and reduce the environmental impacts of fishing and fish farming.
“When you take care of fish, you’re also taking care of everything in the ocean that matters. Working for sustainable seafood at scale is one of the keys to a healthier future where people and nature can thrive together,” said Heather D’Agnes, senior program officer and Oceans initiative lead for the foundation’s Environment Program. “The Sustainable Fisheries Partnership puts fishers and the seafood industry in leadership roles as they work to improve accountability and transparency throughout the supply chain, which are critical for healthy oceans.”
The SFP grant is for $6.7 million and supports the foundation’s program goals, which seek to protect water resources in the face of climate change. As one of the most crucial water resources on the planet, the oceans rely on healthy, sustainable fisheries to support a robust ecosystem.
Fisheries worldwide face common challenges, including ineffective management, which is a primary cause of overfishing and illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing activity. SFP pioneered and continually innovates new approaches that have fundamentally changed seafood production and institutionalized sustainability with global retailers and suppliers. These include fishery improvement projects (FIPs) and Supply Chain Roundtables that bring together players within the supply chain to advocate globally for the sustainable management of marine resources.
“SFP turns 15 this year, and the Walton Family Foundation has been with us from the start,” said Jim Cannon, chief executive officer of SFP. “The foundation’s funding has been critical to help SFP translate retailer commitments on sustainable seafood into tangible improvements in specific fisheries around the world. We’re grateful for their support and their continued leadership to protect the oceans and the livelihoods of fishers and their communities."
In recent years, SFP created the goal to move 75% (Target 75) of the global production of crucial seafood sectors to sustainable (Marine Stewardship Council [MSC] certified or equivalent) or improving under a credible fishery improvement project and making adequate progress. This allows SFP to achieve improvements in seafood production quickly and at scale because industry and nonprofit organization partners have broadly embraced this approach.
SFP is now undertaking new global initiatives to address the challenges that improvement efforts have not yet resolved, including controlling IUU fishing, protecting ocean wildlife in fisheries, and effective management of small-scale fisheries and aquaculture.
About Sustainable Fisheries Partnership
Founded in 2006, Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) is a marine conservation organization working toward a world where the oceans are healthy and abundant, all seafood is produced sustainably, and everyone has access to sustainable seafood. We leverage the power of seafood buyers and retailers in every part of the seafood supply chain to rebuild depleted fish stocks, reduce the environmental impacts of fishing and fish farming, protect ocean biodiversity, and address social issues and advance economic opportunities for fishers and their communities. Our Supply Chain Roundtables (SRs) allow seafood suppliers to work together in a pre-competitive environment to promote and support improvements in fishery and aquaculture practices, management, and policy. Visit us at www.sustainablefish.org and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

The Walton Family Foundation is, at its core, a family-led foundation. Three generations of the descendants of our founders, Sam and Helen Walton, and their spouses, work together to lead the foundation and create access to opportunity for people and communities. We work in three areas: improving K-12 education, protecting rivers and oceans and the communities they support, and investing in our home region of Northwest Arkansas and the Arkansas-Mississippi Delta.

In 2011, I commanded NASA’s final space shuttle mission, bringing an end to a remarkable era in American human spaceflight. During that flight, our crew left an American flag with the International Space Station. This flag is still there today waiting to be returned to Earth by the first astronauts who launch to the space station from American soil.
Today, I’m part of the Boeing team that is designing and building a state-of-the-art spacecraft, the Starliner, which will safely, reliably and affordably deliver astronauts to the International Space Station from American soil once again.
The Starliner’s first test launches are targeted for later this year, first without a crew and then with a two-person crew. Once our testing has proven the safety and reliability of the Starliner, we’ll begin more regular missions to the space station. The space station is an incredible orbiting laboratory that benefits life on Earth and sets the foundation for extending human presence deeper into space.
For the first time since the last NASA space shuttle launch in 2011, the U.S. will be able to send American astronauts into space from U.S. soil and we’ll bring home that American flag we left up there several years ago.
The Starliner will certainly be something to watch in 2018.

Ask The Mayor: West Lafayette's John Dennis On Crash Stats, Construction Cost Overruns
t’s getting harder for leaders of Indiana cities to predict how much their municipal construction projects are going to cost. A lack of trained workers in the state has left construction firms in high demand – and with the ability to charge rates much higher than in the past. So as the City of West Lafayette signs off on documents proclaiming its renovation of the Morton Center into its new city hall will cost $13 million, how much can those numbers really be trusted?
We put that question to West Lafayette Mayor John Dennis this week on WBAA’s first Ask The Mayor show of 2020.
Also on this week’s show, we take a deep dive into the city’s automobile crash statistics from the past year – and try to determine what they say about the way people are driving in town. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If you own real estate in the Birmingham or are planning on buying in the future, it is important to find the right contractors for the job. In our latest post, we will give you some tips on what to look for and what to avoid when hiring contractors in the Birmingham area.
If you have invested in real estate in the past, you’ll know that restoration and renovation processes can be stressful and rarely go as planned. However, finding the right contractors can make all the difference in your projects. You will want to find contractors who deliver high quality, at a fair price. And most importantly, the contractor you hire needs to be able to get the job done in a timely manner, completing all projects in the timeframes promised. Below are some tips to find the right people for the job.
Before signing a contract or committing to hire any construction professional for work on your Birmingham property, it important to have answers to some very important questions. For example, and they properly licensed and insured? Will they be handling the permit process, pulling permits for all aspects of the job? What will the payment schedule look like? How will change orders be handled? While there are a number of other things you will likely want to ask, knowing these fundamental answers will help you avoid any surprises down the road. Ask all the questions you need to before hiring someone. If they are reluctant to answer or don’t have time to provide thorough answers, it might be a sign that they aren’t doing business at the level you deserve.
Talk To Past Clients
The companies you are considering for the job should be able to provide you with references from past clients. But don’t stop there. Utilize social media and the internet to publically ask your questions. Look for neighborhood forums where you can ask about the company to your entire local community. Here you are likely to get more honest opinions as opposed to the 5 top references the contractor provides to you themselves. You can also bring your questions to your local real estate and investment groups. At least one of your fellow investors is likely to have experience working with the contractor in question. You will also be able to learn who they use for their projects, providing you with a strong pool of potential contractors for your construction job in Birmingham.
Scope Out Their Online Presence
There are many websites available that will allow you to read reviews from past clients. While some negative reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, seeing consistently negative remarks is a bad sign. Check the contractor out on The BBB, with your state’s licensing board, Google, and Facebook. There are also sites such as Angie’s List and Home Advisor that specialize in home and construction services. You will be able to find detailed information about the company as well as unbiased reviews from past clients. Look for patterns, and avoid any company with an overall poor reputation.
Don’t Go With The Lowest Bid
Sure you want to save some money, but at what cost? It is not wise to go with an inexperienced or slightly shady company in order to save a buck or two. Shotty renovations, laziness with the legalities, and an overall low work ethic will end up costing you much more in the long run. While you want to make smart financial decisions, being cheap when it comes to hiring a contractor isn’t the best choice. In most cases, you get what you pay for, which usually means poor workmanship, ugly repairs, and cheap materials.
Look For The Little Things
When working with a local Birmingham contractor, or any business professional for that matter, it is important to look out for the little things. Do they call back when they say they will? Do things change out of nowhere? Are they respectful of their other client’s privacy and information? Your contractor needs to have a strong work ethic and be able to deliver when they say they will. The projects need to be completed with high craftsmanship standards. If someone isn’t answering when they say they will, isn’t easily accessible for questions, and doesn’t follow through with the small things, you are at a much higher risk to have problems with the big things.
Before hiring a contractor for your Birmingham investment property, it is important to take the time to do your homework. Time spent doing this is nothing compared to the time and money you could lose by hiring the wrong people for the job. All too often, investors see their profits eaten away by bad repair work. This can be avoided by some research ahead of time. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Senate on Wednesday rejected a bill that welded foreign military aid with what was billed as a border security package.
Republican Sens. James Lankford of Oklahoma, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah supported the bill, according to The Washington Post. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell opposed it.
Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Alex Padilla of California and Ed Markey of Massachusetts opposed the bill, as did Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent.
JUST IN — Senate rejects $118 billion Ukraine-Israel border bill in a 50-49 vote. pic.twitter.com/IDLpifT4vL
— Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) February 7, 2024
Emotions ran high after the vote. Murkowski lashed out at the bill’s opponents.
“I have a difficult time understanding again how anyone else in the future is going to want to be on that negotiating team — on anything — if we are going to be against it,” she said, according to CNN.
“I’ve gone through the multiple stages of grief. Today I’m just pissed off,” she said.
“Why is this bill a terrible bill? Because it does not solve the problem,” Cruz said.
“This bill was designed not to secure the border. Instead, this bill codified Joe Biden’s open borders,” he said.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said the vote reflected a lack of faith that the Biden administration would use the bill’s provisions to stem the flood of illegal immigrants across the Southern Border.
“The fact of the matter is we have no confidence, zero confidence, that the Biden administration will enforce the law when it comes to the border,” he said.
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri said the months since the proposed military aid bill was unveiled by President Joe Biden in November have been troubled, according to the Post.
“I don’t think that the last three months could have been handled any worse than it has been handled from a leadership perspective. It’s just been a total disaster,” he said.
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said a vote on military aid alone would soon follow.
“Now I think we have to move on to Ukraine, Israel and continue to govern,” he said.
The Senate border surrender bill is MIGRANT FIRST with Americans footing the bill.
Joe loves it because it’s a legalized fast track super highway for the world to invade America, NOT BORDER SECURITY.
It doesn’t stop the flow it speeds it up.
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) February 7, 2024
According to The New York Times, the $118.3 billion package that went down in flames called for spending $60.1 billion in military aid to Ukraine and $14.1 billion in military support for Israel. An additional $10 billion was set aside for victims of global crises, which included Palestinians.
The bill would have set aside $20 million for the southern border through more border agents and more detention facilities.
The bill included a mechanism for closing the border that would take effect if the average of migrant encounters tops 5,000 in a day, based on a one-week average, or if the one-day total topped 8,500. The bill gave the president the power to close the border if encounters topped 4,000 per day over a week.

In today’s evolving security environment, organizations are on a constant quest for innovative solutions to secure their systems and data. Legacy applications, pivotal in sectors like healthcare, finance, government, and manufacturing, may be secure and reliable but often have inherent limitations in integrating modern authentication methods such as Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). The integration of these advanced security measures is crucial to optimize productivity and ensure comprehensive protection.
The Challenges with Legacy Applications
Legacy applications, while dependable, are often structured with independent authentication mechanisms and may lack compatibility with modern security technologies like SSO and MFA. These limitations do not inherently compromise the security but do pose challenges in harmonizing advanced security measures across all systems. This necessitates innovative solutions to align with evolving security mandates and ensure comprehensive protection.
The Importance of Advanced Security Measures
The executive order released by President Biden in May 2021 has accentuated the importance of robust cybersecurity defenses and the mandatory adoption of advanced MFA technologies. This directive underscores the necessity of integrating advanced security measures uniformly across all applications, including legacy ones, to ensure comprehensive security and compliance.
ROI Example in Healthcare Sector
In the healthcare sector, the tangible implications of these challenges are significant. It is reported that a clinician has to logon approximately 70 times per shift to different workstations or applications. If each login consumes even 12 seconds, it totals to 840 seconds a day or 70 minutes in a 5-day week. By integrating advanced authentication methods, this time could be reduced by at least half, if not more, enabling healthcare professionals to redirect their invaluable time to more pivotal tasks and enhancing both productivity and patient care.
CodeB’s Innovative Solution
CodeB offers a pioneering solution to address the limitations of legacy applications, enabling the seamless integration of advanced security measures without the need for extensive modifications or access to the source code. This approach facilitates the introduction of SSO, MFA, or Passwordless Authentication to legacy applications, ensuring continuous compliance and access to the latest in security solutions.
CodeB provides a practical illustration through a mock-up legacy application, demonstrating how users can log in within a legacy Windows Forms application environment. Read https://www.win-logon.com/adding-2fa-and-sso-to-legacy-applications/ to explore and understand the seamless integration of advanced security measures into legacy applications.
For organizations utilizing legacy applications, integrating advanced security measures like Single Sign-On, Multi-Factor Authentication, and Passwordless Authentication is imperative. Solutions like CodeB are pivotal in ensuring optimal compliance, data security, and improved productivity in sectors like healthcare, where time is of the essence. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Playtech launches new generation Virtual Tennis game
Playtech's new Virtual Tennis game
Software giant Playtech has announced the release of Virtual Tennis, a new virtual sports product that is available across all Playtech powered casinos. This is an exciting step for the online casino software provider and shows that the company is catering to the gaming preferences of the millennial generation and recent popularity of fantasy sports and skill based games.
The game design process took over a year to create and made use of record-breaking motion capture technology at Warner Bros Studios as well as 3D design and modelling at Playtech's in-house studios, both located in the UK.
The result? A spectacular Playtech powered Virtual Tennis game that offers mind-blowing graphics, realistic game play and a wide range of betting options. The incredible attention to detail that has gone into this game is truly astounding and you'll even see the players' shirts move as they hit their shots across the court.
Virtual tennis is available for play on Playtech's mobile and online casino platforms. Playtech's virtual sports products are being designed with the future in mind, and have facilities for tournament, match play and league functionality.
The release marks the start of a new era in online gambling and is a feat that no other gaming or film company has taken on before. It is the largest motion capture project ever attempted. The filming for the game involved professional sportsmen and women and took place in one of the Warner Bros Studios' biggest film stages, with the processing taking three weeks to complete using 100 state of the art cameras as well as technology and techniques used in the making of box office smash hits like Godzilla, Avatar and James Bond's Quantum of Solace to capture every moment to ensure positional accuracy to 0.5mm. The process resulted in hundreds of hours of precise movement and footage which was then incorporated into the new game.
Playtech also invested heavily in the development of the back-end simulation ensuring that life-like tennis play was replicated from a game play and user perspective.
This is an extremely impressive achievement in what is set to be a new generation of virtual sports content. Playtech licensees will be able to select from a host of virtual sports games including football, horse and greyhound racing, velodrome and speedway, with basketball coming later in 2016.
According to Playtech's Head of Virtual Sports, Elliott Norris, the company's Virtual Tennis game is unlike anything anyone has ever seen before and will leave you feeling like you're sitting courtside at a Grand Slam event. He added that the development team had done a phenomenal job and that the company was incredibly proud of the final result. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

“But to each one of us grace has been given.” – Ephesians 4:7
The young man sat across from me, his face buried in his hands sobbing. I had just fired him, on the grounds of poor performance, and he was understandably devastated, explaining between sobs how he had never before failed at anything in his life. It caused me to have some second thoughts, which in turn stimulated an idea that might at least salvage his employment, if not in a lesser position at a much-reduced salary. He jumped at that second chance. Before long he became a rising star, his career eventually surpassing my own. Some years later another young man applied for a position I had available, but the interview did not go well. Realizing he had blown the interview, the next day he called begging for a second chance. That second interview landed him the job, and he too eventually grew to become a successful professional.
Lest my arm break from patting myself on the back for my gracious deeds, let me hasten to confess that whatever benevolence I may have offered those two young men is minuscule compared to the grace I have received in my own life over and over again. And I am pretty sure that realization went through my head in having second thoughts about the firing, and in offering a second chance at the interview. Who was I, after all, to deny grace when I had received so much?
In his parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus tells the story [also] about a young man who after asking for and receiving his inheritance from his father ran away and squandered it all on wild living. Finally, broke and desperate, he decided to return home in the hope that his father might at the very least employ him as a lowly servant. Instead, his father ran out and wrapped his arms around his son, welcoming him home, then threw a grand party to celebrate his return. Oh, the gracious gift of a second chance!
By its very definition, grace is a gift that is undeserved and that no one can earn. And to be brutally honest, neither of those young men deserved a second chance, any more than the Prodigal Son in Jesus’ parable, nor the countless second chances I have received in my own life. “But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it,” the Apostle Paul reminds us. So, the best we can do in return, I suppose, is to try to apportion a bit of that grace to others every chance we get. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
This article, as originally published in the September 2018 issue of Los Angeles Lawyer, analyzes provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that relate to foreign income and investments.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, P.L. 115-97 (the “Act”) signed by President Trump on December 22, 2017, now fully in effect, is changing our international tax system foundationally and adding complexity in an already murky area.
The Act professes to transform the United States international taxing system from a global one - which taxes worldwide income – to a territorial one – which taxes only U.S. source income. But something is lost in the translation, and the reality is that the new provisions tax on a quasi-territorial basis at best. Switching to this hybrid tax system is disruptive, taxing not globally but selectively, and as written is complex in application. Practically, different types of income and taxpayers are now taxed even more differently; the contrast is particularly pronounced comparing taxable “C” corporations versus individual and other non-corporate taxpayers.
One of the Act’s other primary goals is to discourage U.S. businesses from shielding taxable income through low taxed foreign operations or investments and instead encourage them to maintain business assets – especially intangible assets – in the U.S. while exporting their products and services. In an increasingly globalized economy, these shifts in policy have a material impact on businesses and individuals since key changes in the Act often create contradictory economic incentives for those who transact business internationally. Overall, the application and interaction of the numerous changes to the Internal Revenue Code’s international tax provisions remain unclear in many important respects, and guidance has been sporadic at best.
The Act attempts to accomplish its objectives by, among other things, imposing a one-time transition tax that taxes previously deferred foreign income, a current and on-going tax on certain foreign income, a tax break for select exports, and limits on deductions of payments between U.S. companies and their foreign affiliates.

It’s an amazing photo of Mila, my beautiful moggy, who is just the most gentle, lovely companion I could have - especially because I live by myself. Every single day I come home, she always comes out to greet me. I cannot imagine what it would be like to not have that happen anymore.
Everyone that meets her and stays here at the yurt falls in love with her. She’s incredibly loving and sleeps with me every night. I love her to bits.
This photo is also very sentimental because it was taken by a dear friend of mine, Jay, who passed away 18 months ago suddenly. She was an amazing photographer, an animal whisperer and an angel in human form. It was a huge shock, her passing. She took this photo of Mila when she was looking after my yurt while I was in Asia for my business.
When Jay gave it to me, years ago, it was such a beautiful surprise, because I didn’t know she had taken it. She’d caught a beautiful moment. When I first looked at it, it almost didn’t look like Mila. She caught an expression of Mila that I actually don’t see very often. The combination of the fact that it was Jay who took this photo and that it’s of Mila, who is the most adored thing to me, makes it a very very precious object.”
What does sentimentality mean to you?
“As soon as I think of the word sentimental, it has the connotation of something that you’ve had for a long time. But I think it can be absolutely anything that simply means a lot to you for whatever reason. It’s actually quite a simple word. Something that you have a lot of feeling and affection for, that means a lot to you, whether it stirs past or recent memories. With Mila, she’s the most sentimental thing to me, and I am feeling that in every moment that I’m with her.” - Sarah, Golden Bay, Tākaka (Interview: Chloe Mason).

This grilled corn salad makes the most of in-season fresh corn and asparagus, with ripe tomatoes and creamy buffalo mozzarella. Drizzled with a bright and zingy pistachio mint pesto, this corn salad will disappear in minutes as part of your spring and summer feasts.
PISTACHIO MINT PESTO
Blend or process ingredients until smooth; season to taste.
Place asparagus and corn in a large bowl; drizzle over olive oil, toss to coat. Season.
Cook asparagus and corn on a lightly oiled heated chargrill pan or barbecue flat plate until slightly charred (asparagus still bright green). When cool enough to handle, cut kernels from the cob with sharp knife in chunks.
To serve, layer tomatoes on a platter, season with salt and pepper. Top with asparagus, corn, mozzarella and basil; drizzle with some of the pistachio pesto.
How to pick the best cob for corn salad
The husk of fresh corn will be bright green and tightly wrapped against the cob. The tassels sticking up out of the top should be brown and tacky to the touch. If they’re dry or black, it’s an old ear of corn. Sneak a peek at the kernels to check they are bright yellow, plump and free of any black spots. Store fresh corn in the husk in the fridge in a sealed plastic bag. Best consumed within 3 days.
How to prepare corn on the cob
To remove silks easily, trim the root end from the cob, place on a plate and microwave for 2 minutes (for two cobs of corn) then gently slide the husks and silk off the corn.
For a no-mess way to remove the kernels, place the cob, tip down, into the centre of a bundt tin. Then, safely holding the stem, run a serrated knife down the sides to release the kernels from the cob into the tin. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Theory #39 | The archetype of a new kind of renaissance man
The first time I remember really enjoying writing something (and finishing it) was for my high school English class. Our teacher, Mr. Page, was a British cool music connoisseur who happened to also teach AP English. One of our assignments was simply to choose a song we liked and write an essay analyzing it. I picked a song and started listening to it on repeat, unlocking a small new insight each time. I got a 97 or 98 on the paper, but I hadn’t been worried because I liked what I wrote.
I’ve had a few careers since then, and somehow, I’ve found myself writing in some capacity in each of them. When I dabbled in acting, I wanted to write scripts and lyrics for original scores. In medicine, it was academic papers and irreverent op-eds. Now in this tech-ish world, I find myself writing this blog.
I didn’t see the pattern until recently, but once I did, examples kept appearing. So I’ve started calling this archetype the writer-builder — someone… | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Colombia still managed to win the majority of the competitions but Spain and France have proved their worth.
Finally, the 100mt drag races of the Junior category have their winners as the race have been postponed due to rain last night. Exceptional performance by all the skaters. Colombia dominate but today we saw the team of El Salvador winning two incredible medal!

Which is the best park in Disneyland Paris?
Planning to finally treat your kids (and yourself) to a once in a lifetime trip to Disneyland Paris?! Well, you’re in for a rollercoaster of emotions as you dance and sprint through the lands. The magic of Disneyland Paris is like no other, as you take flight and land in a whole new world! Children can chitchat with their heroes whilst parents can relive their childhood as they engage with interactive experiences.
There’s no better place than to let down your long hair! Fitting in many rides, meet and greets and meals into a long weekend can be plenty thingy-ma-bobs especially when there are two parks to explore. But with this buzzing guide, you can find the right park for you, or realise that both are your cup of tea! Be our guest as we breakdown the details of the two parks and look forward to your magical trip…
1. Disneyland Park
Starting off with our main attraction, Disneyland Park is world-renowned for its range of rollercoasters, themed restaurants and its dazzling display of fireworks each evening. With thrill-seeking rides Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean and Space Mountain, the park is far from just being whimsical. For all the younger mad hatters, there’s Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Peter Pan’s Flight, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast and of course Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups!
There’s something in Disneyland Park for everyone. When your energy is running low, you can go from zero to hero with the various dining opportunities available. Whether its eating on the go from Rocket Café or sitting for quick bites at Restaurant Hakuna Matata or leisurely dining at Walt’s, you don’t have to worry about going hungry. Not Olaf for you… Every day 30 dancers, performers and Disney characters fill the streets near Sleeping Beauty’s castle and give you a parade like no other. And at last, you’ll see the light with the Disney Dreams Nighttime Extravaganza as fireworks fill the sky with colours of the wind! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Harnessing energy while walking to charge your phone would be a new technological development. The world is seeking other alternative sources of energy, especially given the looming threat of water shortage which is a problem to hydro-electricity (Wang, et al, 2016). Hence, this product will reduce the over-reliance of electricity and phone batteries thus contributing to environmental sustainability. Capturing energy from human motion is a promising energy source as it reduces exploitation of resources, particularly because it avoids extreme energy consumption. Further, people achieve significant health benefits by walking rather than driving or riding in motorcycles.
More so, the increased reliance on phone batteries is aggravating the situation of environmental pollution. Given that the operation of the product will be based on wireless power, this will reduce the massive replacement of batteries. Annually, a huge number of batteries are disposed causing toxic landfills and environmental degradation. Again, the existing infrastructure associated with other sources of charging generates large quantities of waste. The inception of this product will come in handy to save this situation. It will reduce future waste derived from such infrastructure.
However, there is also a dark side because the development of this technology will augment the concern on the health implications attributed to such devices. Currently, there is a worrying trend about the detrimental health problems caused by the waves emitted from phones. The new technology will also stimulate this ethical issue and the case is especially so because the research on the impacts of the electromagnetic waves on health and safety has not gained substantial grounds (Wang, et al, 2016). Some of the health issues speculated includes brain tumors, genetic damage, and risking the contraction of brain cancer. It is important noting is that there is no sufficient evidence to prove or disapprove these dangers (Wang, et al, 2016). It continues to be a hotly debated topic. As such, the introduction of such products raises questions about the threat they pose to lives, specifically on a long-term basis. Given that this situation is characterized by many uncertainties, this would be a gruesome challenge due to the increased emphasis placed on improving the health and safety of people.
Gone are the days where new technology was welcomed without sufficient evaluation. Today, the cost-benefit analysis is the order of the day. To this end, the best marketing strategy to explore is the one which confirms that the benefit outweighs the limitations. It would be easier to do so on various Internet platforms with the social media being the preference. The idea is to offer adequate knowledge and insights of the product. We will insist on the environmental troubles that can be mitigated by this new development.
We will make consumers see the need for this product given that they can charge their mobile phones irrespective of where they are. The product will save them the trouble of walking with power banks. Even better, while on the walk, the phone will not hit the low battery percentage. This is good news to the consumers. Research shows that upon hitting the low battery percentage, a phone releases extreme amounts of electromagnetic waves thus increasing the chances of negative health repercussions (Ryhänen, 2014). Therefore, this product will eliminate instances in which a person will be exposed to high amounts of electromagnetic waves.
Moreover, the product will save energy costs. Hence, this technology is an investment in one’s “walking power”. Another marketing strategy would be admitting to the possible health implications associated and mentioning that we are dedicated to designing a product which elicits insignificant amount of waves. Additionally, we strive at collaborating with various organizations in a bid to realize more innovative designs to fight the health impacts triggered by the emission of electromagnetic waves. We will also educate the public on ways of reducing exposure to the waves, particularly to major organs such as the brain.

Sunday, February 11, 2024–2:10 p.m.
-National Weather Service-
A Flood Watch is in effect from 7 p.m. Sunday through Monday evening for much of Georgia, including Floyd. Bartow, Gordon, Chattooga, Polk, and Paulding Counties.
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
Several rounds of heavy rain are expected to impact areas approximately north of a line from Troup to Warren County tonight through tomorrow as a warm front lifts into the area.
This front is expected to stall near central Georgia allowing gulf moisture to lift over. Widespread rainfall amounts of 2-4 inches will be likely.
This stalled front could also allow for repeated rounds of heavy, convective rainfall to occur over locations in northern GA that could lead to isolated higher amounts and flash flooding concerns, especially in and around urban areas. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

About Us and Our Guarantee to you
Ying Yu Jade has been buying and selling jade since our first trip to China in 1999 to learn Chinese medicine and Qi Healing.
We learned that jade is not only beautiful, but also has qi energy that helps balance the meridians and is used for healing in Chinese medicine. Our guarantee to you is that all of our jade is genuine jade and jadeite. If you have "Old Mine Burmese Jadeite Bangle Bracelets" you purchased from Ying Yu Jade tested by a GIA gemologist, and provide us with a complete certificate of testing that states it is not what we claim*, we will refund your purchase price and shipping when you return it, along with our deepest apology. We test every jade piece by refraction when it is photographed and listed, and describe each piece to the best of our ability. We treat our customers the way we want to be treated.
*(The GIA certification must be a complete certificate of gemology testing that includes a description and photo of the jadeite piece that is being tested. We accept only GIA gemology testing. We will contact GIA with the certificate number to verify that it was tested by a certified gemologist. Testing results must be within 90 days of your order.)
"China's Favorite Every Day Burmese Jadeite Bangle Bracelets" with certificates of gemology testing are genuine. The testing includes refraction to show if it is jadeite or another gem stone. Gemology testing is slightly different in all countries, but the testing result on the Chinese certificates will show "A" in the upper right corner if it is genuine natural Burmese jadeite. Sometimes jadeite is polished with classic jade polishing wax that has some tincture in it that enhances the color, but this is not "color treated" and it is still grade A, genuine jadeite that has not been bleached with acid, and/or color treated.
There's a Chinese saying: "the jade carver always leaves something behind". We describe each item as accurately as possible, but jade is stone, stone is not perfect, and the jade carving is a handcraft, so you may find small irregularities that are to be expected from hand carved jade from natural stone.
We cannot guarantee that the Pre-Owned jade is natural color. We assume that because of it being older jade and color not changing that it is natural.
Ying Yu Jade is internet only, and located in Florida, USA. Our web site has changed over the years to keep up with technology and credit card security. This latest upgrade in May, 2015 accomplishes improved organization, ability to view and order on mobile devices, and enhanced credit card security for you.
We value your privacy, and do not sell email addresses or other information. If you want to be on the Ying Yu Jade mailing list to receive news and special savings, you can sign up on most pages on the bottom right.

Kathleen is a psychologist and therapist who realized during her career that people with emotional pain also usually had physical pain and used cognitive behavioral therapy. She learned Reiki and is a Reiki Master. In 1999 she went to China to learn Chinese medicine, qigong and taiji. She met a Chinese doctor who became a good friend and associate. She learned about the qi healing qualities of Chinese jade, and went to the Chinese jade province to set up a workshop with a jade carver to make genuine, natural jade rollers, gua sha tools and other health tools for the Western world. She is committed to assuring the jade is genuine and natural with the healing qi required for balancing the body meridians and elements. After the Lantos jadeite embargo, she imports only Chinese jade, but has a large collection of jadeite purchased prior to embargo that is genuine, old mine lao pit and rarely available today. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

You have some nice shots there, but for me, the girl in the snow is head and shoulders above the rest. Not sure about the girl who appears to be taking a crap in front of a fridge. And I’m sure you could have got something more interesting from a girl taking a bath with an octopus. There’s a few processing faults but generally they are good. So nice to see some one who hasn’t just taken some shots out of their window or their pets in the garden. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
