The adult entertainment industry has always been at the forefront of technological advancements, constantly seeking new ways to engage and entertain their audience. One such innovation that has been gaining popularity in recent years is online sex games. These interactive virtual experiences offer a unique and immersive way for adults to explore their fantasies and desires in a safe and discreet environment.
Online sex games are changing the landscape of adult entertainment by providing users with a more personalized and interactive experience. Unlike traditional forms of adult content, such as videos or magazines, online sex games allow players to actively participate in the action, making choices that affect the outcome of the game. This level of interactivity adds an exciting element of control and customization that is not possible with passive forms of media.
Another key advantage of online sex games is their ability to cater to a wide range of preferences and interests. Whether you are into BDSM, role-playing, or group activities, there is likely a game out there that will cater to your specific desires. This diversity allows users to explore different aspects of their sexuality in a safe and judgment-free environment, helping them discover new interests and kinks they may not have known about before.
Furthermore, online sex games offer a level of anonymity that is often lacking in traditional forms of adult entertainment. Players can create custom avatars or personas to represent themselves in the game world, allowing them to explore their fantasies without fear of judgment or repercussions. This sense of privacy can be particularly appealing for individuals who may feel uncomfortable discussing their sexual preferences openly or who want to keep their activities private from friends or family members.
In addition to providing an outlet for sexual exploration and fantasy fulfillment, online sex games also have the potential to enhance intimacy between partners. Many couples use these games as a way to spice up their sex life by exploring new scenarios together or engaging in virtual role-playing exercises. By sharing these experiences with one another, couples can deepen their connection and communication while having fun exploring each other’s desires.
Overall, online sex games are revolutionizing the way adults consume adult entertainment by offering an interactive and customizable experience that caters to individual preferences and desires. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect these virtual experiences to become even more immersive and engaging, further blurring the lines between reality and fantasy in the world of adult entertainment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The first time I had this dish was in the Dolomites, made by a nonna who was originally from Emilia-Romagna (the region home to Bologna). I was totally blown away by how rich and delicious it was… and that it had no tomato!
Serves: 6 hearty mains or 8+ entrees
- 500 g organic beef or veal mince
- 500 g free range pork mince
- 1 organic onion
- 1 organic carrot
- 2-3 sticks of organic celery
- 500ml good quality (Hey Tomorrow) white wine
- Bay leaves
- Olive oil
- High quality fresh pasta of choice (tagliatelle, pappardelle, rigatoni or even paccheri works best)
- Good quality parmesan
Finely chop the onion, celery and carrot (throw some garlic in too if you like!) This base mixture is called soffritto in Italy.
Heat a heavy based frying pan with a good glug of olive oil and fry off your soffritto until it starts to soften.
Mix the minced meat together with salt to taste, then add it to the soffritto and begin to brown. You’ll need to stir regularly, breaking up the mince as you go – a solid whisk works well here.
Once the meat is browned hit it with a good splash of milk and reduce. Then add the wine and reduce again.
Add the bay leaves and enough water to at least cover the mix, cover the pan and simmer for as long as you like, stirring occasionally. I usually go for around three hours, checking and adding water if it looks like it needs it. Once ready, remove the cover and reduce till you get a consistency you like.
Cook your pasta in well salted water then drain it, reserving some of the cooking water. Add the pasta to your pan of sauce with some cooking water and a good glug of olive oil (butter would also work here too) and combine well, reducing until you have a delicious creamy and shiny consistency.
Serve with plenty of real grated parmesan and wash down with several liberal splashes of Hey Tomorrow & Syrahmi 2020 Syrah. Buon appetito!

How to Become a Dark Wizard in Hogwarts Legacy
Ever wondered how to become a dark wizard in Hogwarts Legacy? You’re not alone. As a passionate gamer, I’ve received countless queries about this intriguing aspect of the highly anticipated game that’s set within the magical world of Harry Potter. In this guide, we’ll delve into the steps needed to tread the shadowy path and master those forbidden spells.
The first thing you should know is that Hogwarts Legacy is an expansive, action-filled role-playing game where your decisions matter. Your choices can lead your character down different paths – light or dark magic are both available options. So yes, it’s entirely possible for you to take on the mantle of a dark wizard if you so choose!
As for those curious about whether one can get another phoenix in Hogwarts Legacy – well, let’s say it’s a question shrouded in mystery as much as magic itself! Stay tuned as we explore these fascinating elements further together.
Understanding the Basics of Hogwarts Legacy
Diving into the world of “Hogwarts Legacy” is akin to stepping through a magical doorway, straight into the heart of the Harry Potter universe. As an upcoming action RPG, it’s set in the 1800s, well before Harry and his friends graced the hallowed halls of Hogwarts. It’s here that you’re given reign as a student with an unusual ability – crafting and controlling magic most others can’t even fathom.
Now, let’s address a burning query: can you get a second phoenix in Hogwarts Legacy? The answer isn’t clear-cut yet. You see, as far as we know from trailers and developer updates, one thing stands out – your character possesses a unique ability to perceive and manipulate ancient magic. This might mean that obtaining mythical creatures like phoenixes could be within your reach.The gameplay revolves around exploring both familiar locations like Hogsmeade Village and new ones such as never-before-seen parts of Hogwarts Castle itself. You’ll attend classes, learn powerful spells and engage in exciting duels while unraveling hidden truths about wizarding history.To become a dark wizard though, choices will matter significantly. The game promises moral dilemmas which will shape your journey towards darkness or light. Your decisions may also affect relationships with other characters – friends could turn foes or vice versa.
Finally, there are four iconic houses to choose from: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Which house you belong to doesn’t predetermine whether you’ll walk down the path of good or evil – that choice lies solely on your shoulders.
As we eagerly wait for “Hogwarts Legacy”, remember this is just an introduction to what awaits us in this enchanting world brimming with magic! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Architect Hannah Robertson turns a utilitarian basement into a subterranean refuge where it’s always five o’clock. BY ERIKA AYN FINCH
Like many houses in Fairfield, Connecticut, you enter this colonial’s basement through a door near the kitchen pantry and walk down a dimly lit staircase. But when you reach the landing, instead of glimpsing exposed plumbing or stacks of storage totes, you catch sight of a moody hallway painted an intriguing shade of forest green.
At the bottom of the stairs, an arched window reveals a postage stamp-sized wine cellar with double ceramic tile groin vault ceilings, twin moss green velvet banquettes, and 300 bottles of vino Italian reds, to be specific. It’s a sexy marriage of Old World and contemporary design, and it’s architect Hannah Robertson’s first climate controlled wine cellar.
“Jessica Helgerson’s design for Stumptown’s first Brooklyn café located in my old neighborhood and the New York subway in general were definite inspirations,” says Robertson, who remodeled the rest of the home back in 2019.
The wine cellar in this Connecticut basement boasts two groin-vault ceilings and insulated steel-and-glass French doors. Architect Hannah Robertson incorporated a strategic lighting plan, part of the home’s Lutron Home Works System, that includes cove lighting around the shelving.
While the owners requested a funky and interesting space where they could gather with friends, they also wanted one that would flow with the rest of the house, so materials like the Fireclay tile, white oak cabinetry, and brass accents show up in both the main house and its subterranean space.
TOP: The hallway leading to the cellar, painted Benjamin Moore Boreal Forest, includes storage for overflow pantry items and access doors for the home’s mechanical systems.
“JESSICA HELGERSON’S DESIGN FOR STUMPTOWN’S FIRST BROOKLYN CAFÉ AND THE NEW YORK SUBWAY IN GENERAL WERE DEFINITE INSPIRATIONS.”
-Architect Hannah Roberts
Just as she did upstairs, Robertson collaborated with the team at Segerson Builders. Project manager Pam Brennan says the team was up for the challenge of building such an intricate room in a small space: the wine cellar itself is only 150 square feet, while the finished portion of the basement comes in at just 250 square feet.
“The tile was the most difficult part of it,” Brennan says. “normally when you with so many angles, you miter the corners, but that wasn’t an option with all the curves, so we had to use tile liners cut to varying lengths and thicknesses so there are no exposed edges.”
TOP: the cellar comfortably seats six to eight people. Blankets that counteract the room’s fifty-six degrees are stored in drawers underneath the love seats.
Another stand out details is the room’s three quarter inch brass channel that replaces traditional baseboards. “it lifts the room up to counter its massive feel,” says Robertson.
Fortunately for Robertson and Brennan, when the project was complete in summer 2022, they were invited to celebrate with a glass of wine in the new space. With the cellar at a wine friendly temperature of fifty six degrees, did anyone get chilly? Not with the piles of blankets tucked in the drawers under the banquettes. “It’s so cozy,” says Brennan. “You could stay down there for hours.”
“The mottled antiqued mirror is probably my favorite feature of the room,” says Pam Brennan of Segerson Builders. “It makes the space look like it goes on forever.” It also reflects the Imperial Danby honed marble wet bar at the opposite end of the cellar.

We have all seen these cute glass magnets, But I thought I would resurrect the idea and give them as Christmas gifts. I wanted the presentation to be fun ( Honestly..Isn’t it really all about the Presentation always?) So, I went to my local heating and cooling guy and asked if he had any scrap pieces of metal he would be willing to cut and sale for me cheap.
He did, so I ended up with 20 metal squares for “FREE”
I think the metal adds a lot to the look!
Tip..You can use the same heating and cooling guy to create those cute metal signs that you see around these days.
All it takes is a broad, a piece of metal, flat ruffing nails, and vinyl. ENJOY 🙂 | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Coconut apricot crème wax: A clean and Nontoxic alternative to traditional candle waxes. Coconut wax is thinly vicious, creating a nice pooling around the wick and is proven to slow the wick burn. Apricot Wax provides a strong scent throw. Blended these waxes produce less soot, yielding a prettier, cleaner burn.
Natural Cotton Fiber Wick: provides an even heat ratio, a smooth melt pool for a clean and consistent burn.
Aroma: The scent was customized to fill your space with how time at Newport Beach feels, fresh, clean, and bright.
Fragrance Notes: Sun-soaked top notes of Lemon Flower and Amber are introduced with lush Rose and Tonka Bean and finished with a warmth of smoked woods and musk
Burn Time: 45 to 50 hours.
Directions: The first time you burn your candle, allow it to burn for at least two hours until the whole top is liquid with wax to help it burn more evenly next time. Before lighting, trim the wick to 1/4-inch length, which will allow the candle to burn slowly and will help avoid black marks around the edge of the glass. After blowing out the candle, recenter and straighten the wick.
Warning: Burn within sight, keep away from things that catch fire, keep away from children and pets.

Transportation exists in many forms, and some in fact are indoors, as opposed to trains or taxis. Elevators, for example, are a lift service that can transport people or goods up and down the floors of a building with ease, and there are many different models and types of elevator service infrastructure. But sometimes, an elevator mechanic may be needed if an elevator is faulty or will not function, and an online search such as “Elevator company near me Los Angeles CA” or “elevator company near me Burlington VT” can help a building manager locate elevator companies nearby that can offer repair services. “Elevator company near me Seattle” may be another example of this. In fact, someone who needs such a repair crew may even look at multiple repair contractor crews and compare and contrast them to find the best one for the job. A residential elevator company, for example, will repair the elevators found in apartments, but the elevators in a factory may require a different set of repair workers.
Elevators Then and Now
It is safe to say that the elevator industry has grown to be enormous, and ever since their invention in England in the 1800s (they are known as “lifts” in England), these indoor transportation services have been moving around people and cargo up and down many floors of buildings. Around the world, the elevator industry really adds up in terms of how many people are moved and how much distance is covered. Many billions of trips are taken in elevators in a given year, and this figure may grow even higher in the future as more buildings with elevators are constructed, especially in some parts of the world that are catching up with the industrialized nations.
Why are elevators being used? They can be used for cargo, for one thing, as some pieces of bundles of cargo are much too heavy or too bulky to get from one floor to another using the stairs. This may be common in structures ranging from factories to retail stores. At such sites, a cargo elevator will be very wide and long, and it will have the strength necessary to lift a very heavy load up and down without the system getting strained or shutting down. Often, these elevators are safe enough so that workers can stand in them alongside the cargo, but precautions should still be taken with elevators, such as making sure that body parts are clear of the doors before they close, and making sure that there is not too much weight on the elevator car. Although such elevators are powerful, they still have their limits, and such an elevator will probably have its maximum weight labeled on a sticker in Imperial pounds, kilograms, and/or tons to show workers how much weight can be placed there.
Naturally, elevators are often used to move people around, too, and this can be a lifesaver in a very tall building such as skyscrapers. Until the development of skyscrapers in the late 1800s, no buildings were ever taller than four or five stories, and these older buildings had no need for elevators. But once buildings started exceeding 10 or even 20 stories in height, it became clear that the then-new elevator technology needed to be incorporated into these new, very tall buildings. Today, such buildings as office skyscrapers, hotels, and apartment buildings often have elevators in them to transport workers, apartment tenants, or hotel guests up and down among the floors as needed, and these elevators, unlike those in factories, will be build with comfort in mind, and may have attractive paneling, carpeting, and even a sound system.
Elevators are powerful and convenient, but over time, they may wear down or strain to lift a too-heavy load. Worse, the electrical components may fry, and an elevator will be stuck in place, unresponsive. When an elevator is compromised like this, a building manager can look online for repair crews such as “elevator company near me” if they do not already have a contract with a crew for such repairs. Rescue of people inside compromised elevator may be necessary, and elevators are often designed with rescue attempts in mind. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The following is excerpted from an online article posted by StudyFinds.
Screen time has a long-lasting impact on the structure and functionality of young people’s brains, a new study suggests. Scientists report that activities such as watching television, playing video games, or using a tablet can have both beneficial and detrimental consequences.
According to a comprehensive review spanning 23 years and 33 neuroimaging studies, screen time causes alterations in the pre-frontal cortex — the part of the brain responsible for functions such as working memory and adaptive response in various situations.
The research highlights that children under 12 who use tablet devices tend to exhibit poorer brain function and diminished problem-solving capabilities. Additionally, video gaming and heavy internet use displayed a link to adverse changes in brain regions affecting intelligence quotients and brain volume in four separate studies.
However, the study also suggests that playing video games might increase cognitive demands, thereby possibly enhancing children’s executive functions and cognitive abilities.
“It should be recognized by both educators and caregivers that children’s cognitive development may be influenced by their digital experiences,” states Hui Li, Chair Professor at The Education University of Hong Kong, in a media release. “Limiting their screen time is an effective but confronting way, and more innovative, friendly, and practical strategies could be developed and implemented.”
The study was published in the Early Education and Development Journal. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

HOME OF RECORD:
St. Louis, Missouri
AWARD BY DATE OF ACTION:
September 10, 1967
AWARDED FOR ACTIONS
DURING Vietnam War
Service: United States Navy
Rank: Hospital Corpsman Second Class
Regiment: Fifth Marines
Division: 1st Marine Division (Rein.), FMF
The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Hospital Corpsman Second Class Dennis L. Noah (NSN: B-509318), United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity while serving as the Senior Corpsman of Company H, Second Battalion, Fifth Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Rein.), FMF, in the Republic of Vietnam, on 10 September 1967. During Operation SWIFT, the First Platoon of Company H, with Petty Officer Noah attached, conducted a security patrol separated from the company by 1,000 meters.
The platoon came under heavy close range small arms, machine gun, and mortar fire from a numerically superior enemy and was temporarily pinned down. Without hesitation, Petty Officer Noah, with total disregard for his life, crawled among the dead and wounded Marines on the field of fire to render aid to many severely wounded Marines within 10 meters of the entrenched enemy. Although he was painfully wounded, he repeatedly crawled from one wounded Marine to another and administered medical aid while shielding each Marine from enemy fire with his own body.
Petty Officer Noah remained in an exposed position for more than four hours, dragging bodies of dead Marines in front of the wounded to give them cover. After his medical supplies were depleted, he packed open wounds and fashioned tourniquets with pieces of utility uniforms. When one enemy soldier crawled forward and attempted to capture a wounded Marine, Petty Officer Noah shot him in the face at close range.
Upon the arrival and attack by the remainder of Company H, while still under direct enemy fire and within 40 meters of impacting friendly fire, he and others evacuated all wounded Marines to relative safety. He then immediately organized a casualty collection point, prioritized the wounded, and arranged for emergency helicopter evacuation of the casualties.
By his bold initiative, undaunted courage, and unwavering dedication to duty, Petty Officer Noah reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Private First Class Elton Armstrong (MCSN: 2424349), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as a Machine Gunner with Company H, Second Battalion, Fifth Marines, FIRST Marine Division (Rein.), FMF, in connection with operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam.
On 11 May 1969, during a search and destroy operation near An Hoa in Quang Nam Province, Private First Class Armstrong’s platoon came under a heavy volume of fire from a hostile force occupying well-concealed bunkers. Reacting instantly, he pinpointed a major source of enemy fire coming from one bunker and, with complete disregard for his own safety, moved across the hazardous area toward it. Although he became the target of concentrated hostile fire and hand grenades, he dauntlessly initiated repeated assaults against the formidable stronghold and, resolutely maintaining a dangerously exposed position, enabled his companions to execute an enveloping maneuver which resulted in the destruction of the emplacement.
His heroic and timely actions inspired all who observed him and were instrumental in his comrades’ accounting for four North Vietnamese soldiers killed, the capture of three individual weapons, and the destruction of an enemy machine gun. By his courage, bold initiative, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of grave personal danger, Private First Class Armstrong contributed significantly to the accomplishment of his unit’s mission and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Upon entering the Hotel W Osaka, guests enter an illuminated tunnel inspired by the Japanese art forms of origami and kirigami, with nature and seasons paintings on the walls.

The W Osaka has four restaurants and two bars that offer a global flavour merge with iconic Japanese cuisine. Bistro-diner OH.LALA brings to life a partnership with Chef Yusuke Takada delivering high expectations to reinvent gastronomy with W Osaka’s creative culinary team.

The restaurant MIXUP combines art, natural lighting and a chic colour palette while serving pastries, coffee, tea and cocktails for an amplified urban experience right on the main street.
The SUSHI UKIYO is an omakase-style restaurant with its interior design based on the concept of a floating world – a reference to the waterways that can be found in Osaka. And the last bar – the WET BAR presents an eclectic list of creative cocktails next to the swimming pool.
The W Osaka has a total of 337 rooms and suites all of which afford stunning views of Osaka’s skyline with floor-to-ceiling glass windows; with the washrooms spacious and equipped with rainfall showers.

Achieving domestic tidiness and neatness is not a simple mission. Actually this is a classical mission and target, that most contemporary housekeepers manage every single day. You have to be diligent, careful and the most important – persistent. Thus you will reach the wanted home perfection and coziness. Last, but not least, you must have an eye for details.
For instance carpet cleaning is a standard sanitising task, demanding cleaning efforts and time. You must not put up with stains and filth and skipping carpet disinfecting is not recommended. In fact your carpet is the favourite place of dust mites and different bugs. Its hygienic maintenance is crucial in order to achieve home cleanness and freshness. Continue reading | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Care homes across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire will for the first time be able to share digital records, following an approved grant from NHS Digital.
The project will see the roll-out of the digital record system, Connecting Care, to care homes across the region to share records with hospitals, GPs and other health services.
The grant of £300,000 from NHS Digital has been secured to fund the roll out to bring care home in line with more than 24 other health and care organisations in the area which already use the system.
Harriet Soderberg, Project Manager, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCG “Bringing care homes into the Connecting Care system will allow authorised care home staff immediate access to important information shared by other health and social care professionals.”
“It will help ensure care home residents do not have to tell their story more than once, improve the safety and efficiency of patient transfers between hospital and care homes and enable professionals to make the right care decisions based on up to date information.”
“This is a key part of our ambition to improve digital coordination between different health and social care services. Care homes are an essential part of our health and care system and enabling them to join Connecting Care will support all care professionals to provide better, safer and more efficient care to people who live in care homes.”
“This is a truly innovative step towards digital integration and we are excited to be offering the opportunity for care homes in our region to move forward with us and provide the best care.”
Helen Mee, integrated discharge service lead,North Bristol NHS Trust “The ability to instantly access a care record with more information about our patient will allow us to make significant improvements to our setting of goals. It will help with our work to establishing where individual patients need to go when they leave hospital and how they want to be cared for when they’re with us. It will help us to provide the person centred care we strive to achieve.”
The bid for funding was made by South Gloucestershire Council, Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), supported by South Central and West Commissioning Support Unit.
The project has begun at the Orders of St John Care Trust in South Gloucestershire and will be made available to up to 50 care homes in the coming months.
Cllr Ben Stokes, South Gloucestershire Council Cabinet Member for Adults and Public Health “I am delighted that South Gloucestershire Council has taken the lead role in successfully bidding for NHS England funds and becoming a Digital Pathfinder on behalf of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.”
“This initiative will ensure that people being discharged from hospital to a care home, or being admitted to hospital from a care home will only have to tell their story once and that health and social care professionals will have the appropriate information they need to care for people in the best and most secure format possible. This project is a national exemplar and we will be sharing our success with other Councils and NHS colleagues to promote best practice.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Alexandria, June 7th, 2022— It’s kick-off day for the 21st version of CardioAlex Conference, hosting world-renowned experts in the world of cardiology from 07–10 June 2022 at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
CardioAlex succeeds each year in bringing together the majority of cardiovascular HCPs from Egypt, Middle East, Europe, USA, and Africa thanks to its Board, Executive, and Organizing Committees. It focuses on discussing a variety of critical topics connected to the cardiovascular disease, including its types and methods of prevention. The significance of the conference stems from the fact that it is the largest event of its type in the field of cardiovascular diseases, attracting a huge number of world leaders, senior officials, health authorities and industry professionals.
“For numerous years, we have worked with many companies and societies to organize innovative events—because innovation is why Events Management is still standing. We have been studying and implementing the International Guidelines for Events Management to ensure that our events have an influence on our country and contribute to the growth of Egypt's Tourism Industry"
Dr. Ahmed El Shal, ICOM Group Chairman.
It is undeniable that having a fantastic team makes all the difference. This is especially true when organizing a large event. A dream event planning team, where everyone has a job to play and eagerly contributes to the event’s success, is the cornerstone of a successful event. That’s exactly what happened in CardioAlex.22.
"CardioAlex's distinct success comes from our extensive event planning experience received from the IAPCO & ICCA Guidelines, trainings and workshops, which ensures that any event runs smoothly. We learned, to pay close attention to every stage of the project, from strategic planning to coordination, operations, on-site management, assessment, and follow-up. At ICOM Group, we strive to operate as actual partners, not just providers"
Salma Darwiche - Chief of Business Development.
The conference program was packed. The plenary sessions featured keynote speakers from a variety of international countries, and some were connected remotely from abroad. Parallel courses for trainees and specialized doctors included hands-on workshops with simulators. The social schedule was equally packed, with the ICONIC Omar Khayrat performing at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina’s closing ceremony. With 6342 physical and 2250 virtual, we witnessed this year a big growth in the number of attendees compared to 2021 & 2020.
“I wanted to take a moment to thank ICOM members for the help and support that they have shown during CardioAlex. It went really well on all levels, and everyone has enjoyed a great time for such a great cause, the arrangements & execution went beyond expected”
Mr. Belal El Shal – ICOM Group CEO
All our online services were with cutting edge web platform. We used our in-house Events Management System that handles registration, accommodation, exhibitions, scientific programs, abstracts and speakers. The system is secure and efficient, it provides real time data before, during and after events. The software has been designed for the management of events with up to 40K participants, and interfaces with smartphones and tablets. Its flexibility means it can be adjusted to meet specific requests and system integration needs.
"As a member of ICOM's younger generation, CardioAlex was a large event for me to handle alone, but with the help of my superiors and coworkers, I was able to execute 100% as expected and even more”
Sandra Wasfy, Operations Division
We helped our big event to be eco-friendly as green events are destined to become the standard. This year, we were keen on reducing the amount of waste, saving energy, reusing and recycling all the leftovers, and increasing the percentage of digital materials rather than printed ones.
And finally, we just need to say that:

In September, PMR published a new report on whey protein isolate market. In countries with economic wealth, there is a growing consumer awareness of, and interest in, Whey Protein Isolate. Currently, East Asia holds the leading share in the global whey protein isolate market owing to the presence of better technologies and infrastructure. The region is likely to witness a similar trend during the forecast years emphasized by the constant demand from commercial and industrial sectors. The rising urbanization and logistics industry in developing countries like, China, India, Mexico, Indonesia, and South Korea are projected to augment the growth of the global whey protein isolate market.
Several entrants in the whey protein isolate market space are already rolling out new products and ingredients and some are attempting to solidify their place in the market. The new whey protein isolate products include amino and bio based isolate. Innovative food companies can mirror the customer experience of eating whey to a much higher degree. This is championed through active social media marketing campaigns to gain traction for their products.
Request for Sample Report: https://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/samples/30447
Increasing Demand for Healthy Alternatives as Opposed to Infant Food Formulas with Synthetic Ingredients
Infant formula is another significant market for whey protein isolate. China anticipates tremendous demand for whey protein isolate based formulas. Increasing health-related concerns primarily drive the growth of the global infant food formulation market and the changing mindset of modern-day consumers to switch to alternative health options. The rising prescription of customized infant formulas for addressing various deficiencies and also to ensure adequate intake of necessary nutrition escalates the demand for whey protein isolate. As a result, a number of key players engaged in expanding their market reach are also enhancing the distribution channels for maximum profitability.
Sports and Lifestyle Pushing Large Buckets of Whey Protein Isolate to Consumers
Whey protein isolate is extensively beneficial for post-exercise recovery and muscle building. As a result, the demand for applications in sports nutrition and slimming food products has been witnessing a significant increase in the recent past. The emergence of sports nutrition and increasing demand for functional foods for weight management and slimming are other significant factors driving the growth of the global whey protein isolate market currently. Demand for vitamins and supplements is increasing in sports nutrition, thereby creating an opportunity for whey protein isolate as it is present in supplements as a significant protein source.
Request for methodology: https://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/methodology/30447
Weak Distribution Network Hampers the Overall Growth
Developing countries such as India, China, Brazil and others, have weak distribution networks for whey protein isolate products. Manufacturers use selective modes of distribution such as online selling, social outlets and others, in order to reach out to consumers. The whey protein isolate products are relatively more expensive than conventional and equivalent ready-to-eat breakfast, dietary supplements and dairy products. This is a major factor expected to impact market growth during the forecast period.
Opportunities Still Abound for Companies to Understand the Shifting Dynamics
The key manufacturers such as Leprino Foods, Grande Cheese Company, Davisco Foods International, and Agropur, Inc. are focusing on marketing its products through innovative marketing strategies. The companies are looking forward to targeting emerging markets and to offer a variety of dairy-based and other food products in order to maintain its position in the global market
The PMR report offers forecast of the whey protein isolate market for the period 2019-2027. According to the report, the whey protein isolate market is projected to record a positive CAGR of ~5% through 2027. The dietary supplements and sports nutrition continues to generate lucrative opportunities for leading industry giants to gain a good market share in the whey protein isolate segment.

Make it possible to record weight used per exercise in each workout
Include a field to record weights on each exercise
I believe this is possible - you have to change the number of sets. Once there are more sets, it will have a spot for reps and lbs. Unless I've misunderstood the request. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As a good employer, you’ll have regular learning sessions at work for your employees. This will help them keep up to speed on industry standards and offer their best work when they’re on the clock. However, it’s not enough to have a training session, though. You also need a retention strategy to keep that knowledge at the forefront of their minds.
Here are seven strategies you can use to aid retention and make that learning stick.
1. Make use of social learning
Social learning is the practice of engaging with fellow learners when you’re being trained in an idea or skill. You need to have peers to observe and emulate to learn. You can use this to help your employees retain the information you give them.
When training, have your employees collaborate on projects or ideas. This will help them understand the material and retain more of it over time.
2. Bite sized learning
There’s nothing worse than being bombarded with information over a long training session. The human brain isn’t designed to take in so much info at once. Instead, you need to break that learning down into bite-sized chunks to be able to retain everything you’re being shown.
Remember this when planning training for your employees. Look into micro learning, which breaks learning down. You can use a time tracker to help keep employees on task and allow them to log their learning sessions. You’ll see they find it much easier to retain info this way.
3. Create an emotional connection
This doesn’t sound feasible in theory. When you’re talking about learning at work, can you create an emotional connection that helps employees keep the knowledge they’re being given? It’s more important than you’d think to create a narrative. It provides the learner something to hang that learning and understand what they’re being told.
The story can be as simple as a story about a customer and how training staff shapes their experience. Using any kind of narrative will help them retain that information.
4. Make learning active
Remember sitting in school and having to listen to long lectures? It certainly wasn’t the best way to learn, as you’d get bored and zone out almost right away. It’s not the best way to learn, so you don’t want to be doing this with your employees. Instead, you need to engage them as much as possible, allowing them to collaborate and work on ideas.
When you get them to participate, they will retain more as they’re actively learning. There are lots of different ways you can do this. This can be as simple as creating break out rooms for them to create a presentation or working in a simulation where they put these new skills to the test. There will always be a way for you to get learners involved.
5. Use visual learning
There are several different ways that people learn, and you need to be able to engage your employees in different learning styles to retain info. For example, visual learning is a way to encourage learners to take in more information and retain it. Around 83% of the information your brain processes are visual data. If you add more images to your learning materials, it will be a lot easier for your learners to process what you’re giving them.
You can use imagery in several ways to help put across information in an easy and digestible format. Try using images more often to improve retention.
6. Test learner’s knowledge
The idea of quizzing employees may seem too much like making them sit an exam, but it doesn’t have to be as formal and rigid as that. Quizzing them to see what they’ve learned is essential, as you need to know what they’ve retained and what they didn’t.
This works with creating more bite sized learning modules. You can quiz employees at the end of each module to test what they’ve learned. This helps cement the learning for them too and is much easier than having to remember everything after days of learning.
7. Create a strong learning culture
There are lots of obstacles to learning in the workplace. You need to establish a true learning culture in your workplace, to ensure that learners retain what you teach them.
With these tips, you’ll be able to help your employees manage their learning and retain more of what you teach them. That enables you to create a stronger and more knowledgeable workplace so you should start putting these tips into practice now. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tuesday 12 February 2019 – Ethics and Digital History Panel (Kelly Foster, Sharon Webb, Julianne Nyhan, Kathryn Eccles)
This seminar is 5:15 pm – 6:15 pm, 12 February 2019, in Room 203 (the John S Cohen Room), second floor, Institute of Historical Research. The IHR is in the North block of Senate House, University of London. Find Senate House on Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU. It will also be livestreamed via our YouTube channel.
Session chair: James Baker
Methods and practices in digital history present ethical challenges: how we do share without imposing? how we do connect without exposing? how do we model without abstracting? how do we use material collected without the possibility of gaining consent? This panel brings together historians working in digital history to present reflections on their ethical practice. The ensuing panel discussion will ask what roles ethics plays in digital history work and what role it should play in the future and each of the speakers will discuss different aspects.
Dr Eccles outlines the challenges and opportunities of using social data to understand histories, and engagement with History, using both text and image. Just because we can access data, doesn’t necessarily mean that we should. How do we justify these choices? This talk will discuss ethics in the context of data mining social media content, with particular reference to working in partnership.
Dr Webb will reflect on her current work with Queer in Brighton, a community organisation and project in Brighton, and on efforts to create a digital archive with community involvement. It considers some of the obstacles related to archiving content of this nature and highlights the necessity for institutions, like universities, to engage in programmes to support community archives whilst protecting their autonomy.
Dr Nyhan is drawing on her oral history research to reflect on the ethical aspects of using oral history methodologies to research the ‘hidden’ histories of Digital Humanities. Among other questions she will ask: who ‘owns’ oral history interviews and transcripts? What are the implications of being an ‘insider’ of the (academic) community one is seeking to research? What about the ethical issues that can occur ‘downstream’ of oral history research, for example, the use of contingent labour to provide research assistance and interview transcription?
Kathryn Eccles is a Research Fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute, a multidisciplinary department of the University of Oxford dedicated to understanding life online. Her work is largely focussed on the impacts of new technologies on public and scholarly engagement with cultural heritage. Current projects include Cabinet, a platform for deepening engagement with objects through 3D imaging and AR technology, and a Knowledge Exchange project with English Heritage examining the potential for using social media to understand engagement with heritage sites.
Kelly Foster is a public historian, working both online and “on road” as a London Blue Badge Guide. She is the chapter lead for Creative Commons UK and founding organiser of AfroCROWD UK, an initiative to encourage more people of African heritage to contribute to Wikipedia and it’s sister projects. She has worked with community/independent archives in London for over 15 years and is a founding member of TRANSMISSION, a collective of archivists and historians of African descent.
Julianne Nyhan is Associate Professor of Digital Information Studies in the Department of Information Studies, UCL, where she leads the Digital Humanities MA/MSc programme. Nyhan is also the Deputy Director of the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities and is on the Leadership group of the UCL Centre for Critical Heritage. She is currently finishing a book about the overlooked and devalued feminized labour that underpinned the Index Thomisticus project of Roberto Busa, whence Digital Humanities is believed to have developed.
Sharon Webb is a Lecturer in Digital Humanities at the University of Sussex, History Department and a member of the Sussex Humanities Lab. She is a digital humanities practitioner with a background in requirements/user analysis, digital preservation, digital archiving, text encoding and data modelling. Her current research interests include community archives and identity, with a special interest in LGBTQ+ archives, social network analysis (method and theory), and research data management. She holds a British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award 2018. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Hour of Its Release Draws Near: MORNING GLORIES COMPENDIUM
November 13, 2014
November 13, 2014
Often described as “Runaways meets Lost,” MORNING GLORIES by Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma is getting its very own massive compendium edition that collects the first 38 issues of the supernatural suspense series.
Over 1,048 pages, six brilliant new students find something much different from what they expected within the walls of what, to outsiders, looks like a prestigious college preparatory boarding school. Pit against each other in deadly battles of wits and wills, the students meet the insurrectionist Truants and begin to unravel the sinister secrets of Morning Glory Academy.
A cult hit among fans who analyze and theorize where the twisting plot points are heading (such as in the MGA Study Hall at Multiversity Comics and the Morning Glories Wiki), MORNING GLORIES now has the perfect volume for readers who want to delve into its world and perhaps answer the question “What did you see when your eyes were opened?”
MORNING GLORIES VOLUME 1 COMPENDIUM will be in comic book stores on December 3 and in bookstores on December 16. It is available for pre-order now.
MORNING GLORIES VOLUME 1 COMPENDIUM by Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma, additional art by Rodin Esquejo
An in-depth discussion of MORNING GLORIES with writer Nick Spencer at Comics Alliance:
"...the fandom for this thing, the community around this book, is so amazing to me. That’s the most rewarding part of all this: the fantastic annotation at Study Hall, and the Tiny Chats we’ve started over the past few issues where we’re gathering with the fans and talking over there, the Tumblr tag… all of this stuff that’s sprung up around the book, it’s incredible to me. I don’t think that any book has the infrastructure and community and analysis around it that Morning Glories has. That’s surpassed anything I ever dreamed of. I look at that and say, “I wouldn’t trade my career with anybody’s, just because no one else writes this book.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Freedom of press still under attack
Expressing deep concern, the Editors' Council yesterday said that press freedom in the country is still under attack from certain quarters of society despite the interim government's promises to uphold it.
Some of the country's leading print media offices have faced threats of assault and siege, according to a press release issued by the council's President Mahfuz Anam and General Secretary Dewan Hanif Mahmud.
Newspapers like Prothom Alo and The Daily Star have requested protection from law enforcement, the release said, noting that security agencies have promptly responded to the call.
"One of the major promises of the new Bangladesh arising from the August 5 mass uprising was to ensure press freedom. This has been repeatedly affirmed by various quarters of the interim government," reads the release.
The Editors' Council emphasised that if anyone objects to any news or editorial stance of a newspaper, they can express their views through intellectual discourse and writing.
"Attempting to silence the media through threats is merely a repetition of past anti-democratic practices," the release read.
The council strongly condemned attempts to disrupt the environment for independent journalism and urged the government to take a firm stance and suppress mob justice against all institutions, including the media.
It also called on all parties to refrain from actions that infringe upon press freedom.
This call was made during an Editors' Council meeting at The Daily Star office yesterday.
The meeting was attended by Prothom Alo Editor Matiur Rahman, Manab Zamin Editor Matiur Rahman Chowdhury, New Age Editor Nurul Kabir, Ajker Patrika Editor Golam Rahman, Financial Express Editor Shamsul Haque Zahid, Jugantor Editor Saiful Alam, Ittefaq Editor Tasmima Hossain, Banik Barta Editor and Publisher Dewan Hanif Mahmud, Sangbad Editor Altamash Kabir, Dhaka Tribune Editor Zafar Sobhan, Desh Rupantor Editor Mostafa Mamun, and Sangbad Executive Editor Shahriar Karim. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Each session will include guided meditations and a presentation on a fundamental teaching. The eight sessions are intended to build upon each other, but each can stand alone so that one can join any session without feeling lost.
There is no cost for the class but registration is required.
The series is generally offered twice per year — join our mailing list to receive notice of future offerings. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
russians create fakes about the death of Ukrainian officers using stolen awards, says Haidai
The russian occupiers are spreading fake news about the death of UAF officers using awards stolen from the commander of the 111th independent brigade of the Territorial Defense of Luhansk region Vyacheslav Sukhanov.
The head of the Luhansk regional military administration Serhiy Haidai reported about it.
"It's nonsense. As evidence, they show photos of our defenders' documents. But, for example, the commander of the 111th independent brigade of the Territorial Defense of the Luhansk region Vyacheslav Sukhanov probably knows that russian soldiers settled in his apartment in the occupied part of Rubizhne. That's why they have access to the officer's awards. Moreover, those were given to him back when he was a lieutenant colonel. The russians cannot advance on the front, they do not have victories, and they need to report something to their superiors. That is why such cheap 'victories' are born. Because there is nothing to get paid for: the Armed Forces of Ukraine turned out to be stronger than the three days calculated by the enemy," Haidai said.
It should be noted that this is not the first time that russians use documents of Ukrainian fighters in their fakes. Namely, in January 2018, paratroopers of the so-called "Luhansk People's Republic" announced that they had found a hideout with personal belongings of Ukrainian soldiers. The Luhansk-24 Internet resource controlled by the paratroopers wrote about this.
At that time, the LPR group claimed that the hideout had been found near the town of Krasnyi Luch (Khrustalnyi after the decommunization), and it had allegedly been created in August 2014.
The published photos included weapons and documents, as well as a photocopy of the list of UAF servicemen with their phone numbers. Among them are a military ticket under the name of Oleksiy Hartramf and an ensign's ID under the name of Dmytro Yatsenko.
Dmytro Yatsenko is known to have been captured by paratroopers in the Luhansk region on August 8, 2014. He was a soldier of the 24th Motorized Infantry Brigade. The Center for the Release of Prisoners wrote that he was on the list of prisoners.
Border guard Oleksiy Hartramf has also been captured in 2014. It is unknown when and under what circumstances he returned to the territory controlled by Ukraine.
According to the paratroopers, the hideout was created in August 2014. At that time, Krasny Luch was allegedly controlled by the Ukrainian authorities. In fact, the city was occupied in the spring of 2014 and remains under occupation to this day, although in the summer of 2014 there were attempts to liberate the city.

Mesocrystals are colloidal crystals formed by self-assembly from anisotropic nanoparticles. They attract more and more attention as building blocks for novel electronics because their electronic properties can be controlled quite easily by tailoring nanoparticles used to assemble such crystals, their ligands, and the assembly process.
The group of Prof. Dr. Lukas Schmidt-Mende from University of Konstanz is studying electronic properties of such crystals. Recently, they published a paper exploring the mechanisms giving rise to intrinsic resistance of individual mesocrystals and how it can be tuned. The researchers use Imina Technologies’ nanoprobing system to contact and probe mesocrystals in-situ.
“The most remarkable property of the system is its scalable positioning which enables both centimeter travel range to approach different destinations on my sample and nanometer-range positioning to contact my nanoparticle structures. These nanoprobers are flexible, easy, fast to use, and I can see everything I do with the structures in real time.” – says Stefan M. Schupp, one of the leading authors of the study. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Immanuel Church concludes the gracious Pentecost gathering from May 18 – 20 with worship and prayer night, series of Bible lectures, prayer meeting and closing service on Pentecost Sunday.
Attendees of the gathering received a lot grace through the messages and prayer time. Many confessed their faith are being strengthened through the event.
Immanuel ministers pray that the Holy Spirit continues to guide the Church to grow and minister peoples’ needs in the city. As depicted in the book of Acts, after the Pentecost the believers gathered daily, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.(Acts 2:47) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Refers to the volumetric abundance, or lack thereof, of freshwater resources. Scarcity is human driven; it is a function of the volume of human water consumption relative to the volume of water resources in a given area. As such, an arid region with very little water, but no human water consumption would not be considered scarce, but rather arid. Water scarcity is a physical, objective reality that can be measured consistently across regions and over time. Water scarcity reflects the physical abundance of freshwater rather than whether that water is suitable for use. For instance, a region may have abundant water resources (and thus not be considered water scarce) but have such severe pollution that those supplies are unfit for human or ecological uses.

Gurugram, December 9, 2023- The Vice President of India, Sh. Jagdeep Dhankhar, emphasising the need to recognize the abilities and potential of differently-abled individuals instead of simply sympathising with them, he stressed the importance of creating an inclusive ecosystem that allows them to flourish.
The Vice-President while speaking at the inauguration of the 10th National Conference on Disability at the Global Resource Center of Sarthak Foundation in Gurugram, on Saturday. Earlier, Haryana Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Sh. Om Prakash Yadav welcomed the Vice President.
Sh. Dhankhar highlighted the limitations of traditional definitions of disability. He cited the example of Albert Einstein, who thrived despite dyslexia, emphasising that real challenges extend beyond visible impairments and encompass mental, spiritual, and emotional aspects.
He called for solutions tailored to diverse disabilities. Drawing parallels with societal progress, the Vice President pointed out how perceptions towards women have shifted over time. He noted that women are now actively contributing in various fields, demonstrating that previously perceived limitations were unfounded.
Applauding Haryana’s efforts in improving the lives of differently-abled individuals, Sh.Dhankhar encouraged the corporate entities to allocate CSR funds towards empowering marginalised groups, including those with disabilities, women, and minorities.
He praised the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act of 2016 and emphasised the need for enhanced facilities in villages, encouraging innovative approaches to support the disabled community.
Sh.Dhankhar remarked that India was previously reliant on the West for guidance. However, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and inspired by our cultural heritage, India’s influence has grown, placing it among the world’s leading nations. He stated that this evolving global standing underscores the importance of India’s perspective on international affairs.
Secretary, Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Government of India, Sh.Rajesh Aggarwal, Divisional Commissioner, Gurugram Sh. RC Bidhan, DC, Sh.Nishant Kumar Yadav, CEO, Sarthak Foundation, Dr.Jitender Aggarwal and other dignitaries remained present on the occasion | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Is it possible to combine two neural networks in MATLAB?
53 views (last 30 days)
For my assignment I have been looking into the possibility to combine two neural networks into one by element-wise summation of certain layers.
Much like this:
I know that this can be implemented in python, but what I was wondering was if it is also possible to implement it in MATLAB? If yes, how? I have looked into the parfor function to train multiple neural networks in parallel, however I have not found a way to then combine the layers of these networks.
Thanks in advance!

If I understand your question correctly, you want to train 2 neural networks simultaneously and then combine them into one through an element wise operation of the layers. You're not looking to merge two branches of the same network. Is my understanding correct? I'll reach out to you to learn more about your use-case.

Bangalore Development Authority has contributed significantly in the planned development of the city. The housing authority, which came into existence in the year 1976 through a legislation of the state government, has been a driving force behind the continuous improvement in the availability of basic amenities since its inception.
The authority is also looking after the housing needs of those, who cannot afford to own a home on account of mounting prices of real estate property in Bangalore .
The regional housing authority in Bangalore is also working in close association with the city’s Metropolitan Development Agency, so as to develop the city in an organized and well-planned manner.
The BDA allots sites for the construction of houses to housing companies and building contractors, and keeps a watch throughout the process of construction. The authority also brings out regulations and rules, which are to be followed by the builders during the construction process.
Karnataka Housing Board is the other government institution that lays down normal construction rules and regulations throughout the state.
You can get a plethora of information about the government housing authorities on their official websites. Below, you can find website links to the most common sites in the category. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mental Health start-up ‘Juno Clinic’ raises Rs.8 crores
Dr. Avantika Batish is working as Director Strategy and Healthcare at International Health Emergency Learning and Preparedness. Also, guest faculty for MBA (HR) and MBA Healthcare Management at various B-Schools and is a soft skills trainer.
Juno Clinic, part of Davman Technology Services is an online and offline start-up focused on mental health counseling and treatment. According to recent estimates by The Lancet Study in India only 1 in 10 people with mental health disorders receives evidence-based treatment.
The biggest challenge that stops people from seeking professional help for issues such as depression, anxiety or relationship conflicts is the social stigma attached with seeking help from professionals.
Further, there is a dearth of trained professionals in India as most psychiatrists and psychologists operate only in the top metros. Understanding the need gap, the company launched its online counseling clinic: www.juno.clinic in January 2016 that allows counseling through online video connection, phone or chat, and has also started offline counseling clinics in Mumbai, with the first two clinics set up in Khar and Powai.
The company is not an aggregator for service providers but hires senior psychologists and psychiatrists full time, all of whom adhere strictly to American psychiatry protocols. The company currently has a medical team of 35.

Maintaining a clean and tidy house is essential for a comfortable and healthy living environment. However, it’s easy to fall into common cleaning mistakes, making the task more challenging and time-consuming.
To help you avoid these pitfalls, we’ve compiled a list of 6 common mistakes with house cleaning and provided tips on overcoming them. Following these suggestions, streamline your cleaning routine and achieve a cleaner, more organized home. So, read on.
House Cleaning Mistake Must be Avoid
1. Not Having a House Cleaning Routine
One mistake many people make is not having a regular house cleaning routine. This means cleaning can become overwhelming and easy to forget. Create a cleaning plan with daily, weekly, and monthly tasks to make it easier.
Break down your cleaning routine into small parts and focus on daily areas. You can also consider getting help from a professional cleaning service to stay on track.
2. Neglecting Interior and Exterior Cleaning
Don’t forget to clean both the inside and outside of your house. It’s not just the rooms inside that need attention. Outdoor areas like windows, gutters, and outdoor furniture also need cleaning.
Make time to clean windows, wipe outdoor surfaces, and maintain your yard. You can hire a professional cleaning service that handles interior and exterior cleaning.
3. Using the Wrong Cleaning Supplies
Using the wrong cleaning products can be a mistake. It may not clean well and could even damage surfaces. Choosing the right cleaning supplies for different areas and materials in your home is essential.
Read the labels and follow the instructions carefully. Avoid using rough cleaners on delicate surfaces, and try to use eco-friendly products. If you’re unsure which products to use, you can ask professionals or hire a cleaning service that uses safe and effective supplies.
4. Overlooking Regular Deep Cleaning
Regular cleaning usually focuses on surface cleaning, but deep cleaning is also essential. Deep cleaning means cleaning hard-to-reach areas like behind appliances, under furniture, and inside cabinets.
Ignoring deep cleaning can lead to a build-up of dust, dirt, and allergens. Set aside time during the year for deep cleaning or hire a professional cleaning service that includes deep cleaning in their services.
5. Not Seeking Professional Help
Some people think they can handle all the cleaning independently and don’t realize the benefits of hiring professional cleaners. Professionals have the experience and efficiency to do the job well. They can save you time and effort.
Consider hiring a reliable cleaning service like https://executivemaids.com/pompano-beach-florida-house-cleaning-services/ for periodic deep cleaning or regular maintenance cleaning to keep your home clean and well-maintained.
6. Ignoring Common House Cleaning Costs
Another mistake is not considering the costs of house cleaning. Whether you clean yourself or hire professionals, there are costs involved. DIY cleaning requires buying supplies and equipment, while professional services have their pricing.
Research and compare different options to find what fits your budget and needs. Some cleaning services offer customizable packages to meet your specific requirements and budget.
Avoiding Mistakes With House Cleaning
Keeping your house clean and organized doesn’t have to be a daunting task. You can maintain an inviting home environment by avoiding common mistakes with house cleaning. Remember to establish a cleaning routine that suits your schedule and break down tasks into manageable chunks.

Cleantech Company UBQ Brings Sustainable Recycling Solution to the Netherlands and Europe
New Israeli firm converts household waste into environmentally-friendly raw material for making plastic
Jack (Tato) Bigio, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of UBQ Materials
The Israeli cleantech company UBQ is expanding to Europe and establishing its sustainable recycling operations in the Netherlands. The new firm has developed a technology to convert household waste into a raw material for the plastics processing industry. UBQ recently announced it is opening its first international location outside of Israel in Bergen op Zoom, to be operational at the end of 2022.
UBQ has developed a patented process for converting landfill-destined municipal solid waste into a recyclable raw material that can be used in making plastic. The company says its product is a sustainable replacement to plastic, wood or concrete, and can be used both on its own and in conjunction with conventional oil-based resins to offset the overall carbon footprint of end-products in industries including construction, automotive, logistics, and retail. UBQ’s client list includes Mercedes-Benz, global retail solutions provider Mainetti, and Arcos Dorados, the world’s largest franchisee of McDonald’s restaurants across Latin America. Trays of McDonald’s restaurants in South America already consist of a combination of plastic and UBQ material.
Reducing carbon footprint
UBQ Project Manager Olaf Looijen says UBQ’s material contributes to making the world more climate-neutral. “You save raw materials, especially petroleum. In many places in the world, household waste still ends up in landfills, where it causes the emission of methane. In the Netherlands, household waste goes into the incinerator and causes CO2 emissions. This is also prevented by converting household waste into UBQ material.”
Looijen said he expects to realize an annual production of 80,000 tons of UBQ material, which will serve the Western European market. He estimates that will create between 200 and 250 jobs in the Netherlands.
Joining the Dutch cleantech ecosystem
“We selected the Netherlands for our new plant because the ecosystem there is very suitable for companies like ours,” said Jack (Tato) Bigio, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of UBQ Materials. “We had to select a convenient location for our first international plant and northern Europe was an easy choice.”

“365% return in two months!” – Aaron Dawson
“I’m out with a 468% gain in two months – my highest gain in six months of investing! I can’t really imagine what else could make a person’s investing life easier than this…” – Jill Vance
“I grabbed $3,120 in profit on a 306% gain in two months!” – Brad Wilkins
“My initial investment was $8,920, and my profit inside of a month was more than $39,000! Thanks again for a great trade.” – Wayne Sherman
This looks promising, and this recent feedback is just scratching the surface. Over the years, Marc Lichtenfeld has delivered top-notch investing insight across his various research services. Here’s some more feedback from his past readers…
“I have a number of double-digit gains, and a few where I have made better than 400% over several years.” – Wallace Milan
“I have used Marc’s stocks to create a retirement portfolio that gives me peace of mind even when the market gets a little crazy. I have the income I need to do whatever I want. I am blessed!” – Donald Sullivan
“We’ve made lots of money to support us in retirement; thanks, Marc! We have more now than we had when we retired 20 years ago. Come see me and I’ll take you bass fishing!” – Paul James
These are just some highlights, and Marc Lichtenfeld doesn’t appear to be slowing down. To learn more about Marc’s next big investing opportunity, you can go straight to the source. The Blockbuster Earnings Season Kickoff will be one for the history books. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tarquin Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Hey Guys, I have a tough one, and I'm not sure if this is the right forum. I am currently developing a new site for our community and am having a custom skin made off of the new layout. Obviously my goal is to have the site and forums run together as if they are the same 'app' so to speak. I am wanting to integrate the login so that when the users are logged into the forum, they show as logged into the website. Catch is that there is no real website user database. It is an information based website and the only databases it uses are for caching purposes. I pretty much want to use the ipsconnect cookie along with another cookie to tell the software that the user is logged in. When they are logged in I would want them to see their username, avatar, unread messages etc, when logged out it will show the login button. So my question(s) are: How can I have (If at all) the form on my 'site' simply post data to the IP.Board login rather than handle the login itself. (Low Priority, I can just change it to a link to the login page of the forum) (1b) Can IP.Board be slightly reprogrammed to send to a referring page from OUTSIDE IP.Board when it logs in (aka you are reading topic 121 and click on login, it send you back) How can I, other than a generic cookie that can easily be cheated, have users information displayed live from the database on the website. How can I setup the logout link as it seems to also have a unique variable that doesn't match the cookies I am viewing. Additional Details: Forum Location: forum.domain.com Site Location: www.site.com Please dont hesitate to request additional information if you feel you can assist me :) - I appreciate everyones time in this matter. Thanks!
Tarquin Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 Unfortunatly with a lack of replies I had to use the IPS.Connect way of storing a second database. I didn't want to do it but it seems to be the only way as nobody anywhere seems to be able to reply with anything helpful on this subject. My next issue is pulling additional details... How should I go about that? I am wanting to display the users avatar and need to pull their user ID so I can link it to form submissions etc. Any assistance is appreciated!
Ae9803 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Tarquin, I believe this issue belongs in a different forum, perhaps this is why you arent getting responses here. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have become the primary drivers of technological progress. They have paved the way for revolutionary innovations in a variety of fields, including healthcare, finance, and transportation, to name a few. As AI and ML continue to develop, so too does the supporting hardware. The Intel Loihi chip is one such innovation; it is a neuromorphic processor designed to mimic the computing capabilities of the human brain. This article will examine how the Intel Loihi chip will contribute to the advancement of AI and ML.
Understanding Neuromorphic Computing
Neuromorphic computing is an emerging field of study that focuses on the development of hardware that simulates the neural structures and functions of the human brain. Utilizing the inherent properties of biological neural systems, this strategy aims to improve computing performance, speed, and energy efficiency. The Intel Loihi chip is a prime example of neuromorphic computing, as it is designed to process information similarly to how neurons and synapses in the brain do.
Key Features of Intel Loihi Chips
Energy efficiency is one of the most significant benefits of the Intel Loihi chip. Traditional computing architectures are based on the von Neumann model, which frequently necessitates significant power consumption. In contrast, the Loihi chip employs a novel, event-driven computing paradigm that enables it to process information asynchronously, thereby reducing power consumption by a significant margin. This energy efficiency makes Loihi chips ideal for a wide range of applications, including data centres and embedded systems in Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
The remarkable scalability of Intel Loihi chips is due to their modular architecture, which enables the seamless integration of multiple chips to form a larger neuromorphic system. This scalability enables researchers and developers to create AI and ML systems that are capable of performing complex tasks with ease. Consequently, these neuromorphic systems can serve a variety of applications, such as robotics, computer vision, and natural language processing.
The Intel Loihi chip supports adaptive learning, which enables it to learn and adapt to new data in real time. In contrast to conventional AI and ML systems, which require vast amounts of training data and computing power, neuromorphic systems, such as the Loihi chip, can learn from limited data samples and rapidly adapt to shifting environments. This feature opens up new opportunities in areas where rapid adaptation is crucial, such as autonomous vehicles and personalised healthcare.
The event-driven architecture of the Intel Loihi chip enables real-time decision-making, which is crucial for applications that require immediate responses. In traditional computing systems, the need for data transfer between memory and processing units frequently delays information processing. The unique design of the Loihi chip, however, allows it to make decisions in real time, making it ideal for applications such as robotics and autonomous systems.
The Intel Loihi chip has the potential to revolutionise AI and ML by providing computing solutions that are energy-efficient, scalable, adaptive, and real-time. As neuromorphic computing evolves, it will pave the way for new AI applications and enable researchers to push the limits of possibility. Intel Loihi is expected to play a significant role in shaping the future of AI and ML. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Floods in Kenya cause power and internet outages
Unprecedented flooding has plunged most of Kenya into darkness, leaving a large parts of the country without telecom and internet services.
Power supply issues, which resulted in an internet blackout on Thursday, are the latest setback for the East African country following recent weeks of flooding that killed over 180 people.
As the toll rises, Kenya Power announced late Thursday that supply outages are affecting the majority of the country.
Excessive rain damaged some infrastructure, causing blackouts in various cities and towns, including Nairobi, Eldoret, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nakuru, and Nyeri. Authorities referred to phenomenon as a "system disturbance."
At the time of publication, Kenya Power stated that supplies had been restored in several areas of the country.
"The restoration of the rest of the country is in progress," the utility said. The power outages have disrupted connectivity.
NetBlocks reported that its metrics revealed a severe disruption in internet service across much of Kenya, with countrywide connectivity down to 56% of normal levels.
"The incident corresponds to widespread power outages after a 'system disturbance on the grid' per Kenya Power," according to the statement. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In MMA betting, wagering on a fighter is based on their perceived chances of winning a fight. Unlike football games, where bettors place point spreads, MMA betting offers Money Lines that are based on a fighter’s odds. The higher the fighter’s odds, the more likely they are to win. A favorite’s odds will have a plus symbol in front of them, while an underdog’s will have a minus symbol. MMA betting also offers Over/Under bets and parlays, which combine multiple selections into one wager for a larger payout. However, to win a parlay, all bets must succeed; otherwise, the entire payoff will disintegrate if even one pick fails.
In order to make the most of your MMA betting, it’s essential that you do plenty of research before placing bets. This includes looking at fighters’ styles, past records, and recent performances. You should also consider a fighter’s injury history and weight issues. Additionally, you should look at a fighter’s reach and height differences, which can be used to calculate power differentials.
MMA betting can be placed in-game, on live events and in traditional sportsbooks. It’s common for players to wager on a range of different types of bets, including moneyline bets, round betting and method of victory props. The latter offer specific wagers on how a fight will end, and they generally fall into three categories: KO/TKO, submission and decision.
Round betting is a popular MMA betting option, as it allows bettors to predict the exact round a fight will end in. This type of bet is more lucrative than Over/Under bets, as the odds for a specific round are much better. If you think a fighter will finish the fight early, you should take the Over. Conversely, if you believe a fighter will last longer than expected, you should place a bet on the Under.
Another popular MMA betting option is on “significant strikes landed.” These props give bettors the opportunity to place a bet on how many significant blows are thrown in a fight. Although this is a subjective bet, it can be fun and profitable if you’re able to connect a number of blows that clearly inflict damage.
When betting on MMA fights, you’ll want to use an online sportsbook that offers up-to-date odds and a variety of different betting options. Moreover, you should never gamble beyond your means, and you should set a bankroll before making any bets. This way, you can ensure that you’re gambling responsibly and don’t lose more than you can afford to lose. In addition to setting a bankroll, you should also establish a time limit on how long you’ll be gambling and stick to it. Lastly, don’t get caught up in the hype surrounding a match or bet on a fighter that you haven’t researched thoroughly. Remember, MMA is a dangerous sport and you can easily lose more than you’re willing to risk. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
There are a lot of people that are interested in antiques as they would have a lot of value. We should know that aside from buying antiques in certain stores, it would surely be a lot more exciting for us if we can hunt for them ourselves. There are a lot of antiques that costs a lot of money and we may just end up spending a lot if we are going to buy them. We should know that it would be a lot more interesting for us if we can get ourselves our own metal detector so that we can start finding for some antiques in the wild. Most antiques and a lot of other items are made out of metal or would have certain percentage that is metal. There are a lot of these things that would have their own value and they may be buried under the ground or underwater. There are a lot of these things that have been lost over the years that have passed but they may still maintain their condition as they are made out of metal. A metal detector is a device that could detect different types of metal that is buried under the ground. It would be able to give us a reading on what is under the ground based on the features that they would have. There are different types of metal detecting equipment or supplies that we are able to use as there are those that would have their own digital scanner that can give us a clear imaging of the metal levels that it is able to detect. We should do some research on these things so that we can have a much better knowledge on all of the features that they have.
There are shops that we are able to deal with that specifically sells different types of metal detecting supplies. We should know that we can deal with them so that we can get to know more about their products. There are companies that have their own website and we may get some information on the supplies that they are selling online as they would have posted a lot of details about them. There are those that would also have their own online customer support that would surely make it a lot easier for us to have all of our questions to be answered. Dealing with online suppliers for metal detecting products would surely make it a lot easier for us to get all of the things that we need. We can browse their website for the products that we are interested in and we can have all of our orders shipped to our location. We should also look for reviews about their products so that we can have a much better knowledge on the quality that they have. We should invest in equipment that would have the best quality if we are going to hunt for a some antiques as they are able to give us a much better coverage. We should know that there are a lot of things out there that we can find that would still have a lot of value in them and there are those that would also have a lot of history. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Two years after winning the assembly elections and forming a government after 10 years of AIADMK rule, the DMK government rejigged the Cabinet on Thursday, with Thangam Thennarasu becoming the new minister of finance, planning, human resources management, pensions, statistics and archaeology. The incumbent, PTR Palanivel Thiagarajan, is the new Information Technology minister.
MP Saminathan, minister for information and publicity, will also hold the additional charge of Tamil official language and Tamil culture department.
TRB Rajaa, 46, a three-time DMK MLA representing Mannargudi constituency in the Tamil Nadu assembly, was sworn in as minister by Governor RN Ravi at a function in Raj Bhavan in the presence of chief minister MK Stalin and his Cabinet colleagues on Thursday. Rajaa is the new industries minister, henceforth held by Thennarasu.
While Rajaa has been included in the cabinet, Avadi DMK MLA SM Nasar, who was the milk and dairy minister, was dropped from the cabinet. In his place, IT minister Mano Thangaraj has been named the new milk and dairy minister.
Rajaa, son of Sriperumbudur DMK MP TR Baalu, holds a PhD in Psychology and is also the party’s IT wing chief. Rajaa is also a member of the Tamil Nadu State Planning Commission and chairman of the Legislative Committee on Estimates. Raja joins Udayanidhi Stalin and Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi as the party’s youth trio in the cabinet.
The changes in the Cabinet were in the air following a controversy involving Thiagarajan. A series of audio tapes, allegedly of Thiagarajan’s voice, were circulating in social media, making wild allegations against the chief minister and his family members. Though Thiagarajan denied that the voice was his, BJP state chief K Annamalai refused to agree and continued to release more such audio tapes.
Though the chief minister condemned Annamalai and stood by Thiagarajan, he has been shifted from the finance department. He presented three budgets (Revised budget 2021, 2022 and 2023) and brought down the revenue and fiscal deficit, and made the state’s financial situation better.
Rajaa takes charge of the industries department at a time when the government is trying hard to woo more and more industries. “I will work along Stalin and strengthen his hands,” Raja told the media before the swearing-in.
CM Stalin will visit four countries from May 23 to woo investors, and also invite big companies to the Global Investors’ Meeting to be held in January 2024.
Nasar was in the news for all the wrong reasons in the last two years. A video was in circulation early this year, showing Nasar throwing stones at party workers in Tiruvallur — a move criticised by the Opposition parties. There were also allegations that there was an acute shortage of milk, and dairy products such as butter, which was not available in the market even now. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In a previous article, I talked about how cyber crime is continuing to get more sophisticated, and how the offenders are getting away with larger amounts.
In this article, we’ll look at AntiVirus software why it’s not always effective and what can be done to overcome this ineffectiveness.
Antivirus software is designed to prevent, detect and remove malicious software.
The obvious solution to removing malware and viruses is to have an updated version of AntiVirus to catch and remove them.
AntiVirus works well for existing and known malware and virus’. But these are not so effective against new viruses, also known as “Zero Day” viruses.
Depending on your version of antivirus, they can be from 0% to 65% effective. So, if you have the best antivirus on the market, 35% of the Zero Day malware will go undetected.
To take a random example from this week. We were called to repair a WordPress website that had been hacked.
Here we found most of the files has been altered to have a piece of malware quietly infect computers visiting the site. As shown below only 8 out of 55 AntiVirus systems recognized this as malware.
The missing offenders included some of the biggest names like Trend Micro and McAfee.
If AntiVirus is ineffective, then what can one do?
Fortunately, there are many tools on the market to combat these kinds of threats.
Unfortunately, they tend to be lesser known and often expensive solutions.
Let’s start with finding malware.
Since most AV systems work by trying to identify bad files or processes, detection needs to be rethought to be effective. One way to do this is to analyze processes in memory and identify ALL of them instead of just some.
Identifying a process in the memory means that the file is actively running and using memory, therefore it presents a danger. An idle file cannot cause harm.
Secondly, one can not find a malicious process on its own. Trying to find a malicious process is like trying to find a needle in a haystack without knowing what a needle looks like.
This is why AntiVirus companies have such a hard time catching everything.
Every single process must be identified as:
- Good (previously seen and known)
- Bad (previously seen and known to be bad)
- Unknown (not previously seen and need to be forensically investigated).
One such AntiVirus company that takes this approach is Cyfir. Through this approach, they were able to detect a breach at the Office of Personnel Management in the US Government, that was previously undetected by multi-layered security systems
With a solution like this in place, you can rest assured systems and data will be much safer.
With that said, not all attacks involved malware. Stay tuned on how to thwart further would-be attackers beyond using the traditional firewall systems and password security.
If your systems are only protected by AntiVirus, and there is concern about unknown processes running, perhaps it’s time to look into the next level such as JIG’s managed IT services to secure your most important data system? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Imagine a real-world scenario where a light industrial facility is on the brink of securing a large contract that promises significant growth. However, there’s a hurdle: they must rapidly scale up their production to meet the new demand. Without the right staff in place, this golden opportunity could easily slip through their fingers. In this situation, a strategic staffing partner becomes invaluable in bridging the gap between talent needs and business goals. Join us as we outline the advantages of partnering with a strategic talent acquisition firm like Just In Time Staffing and how it can take your business to the next level.
Streamlined Talent Acquisition
In the scenario above, time is of the essence. And partnering with a staffing firm means companies have a chance to leverage their extensive talent network and thorough industry knowledge to quickly locate and deploy workers who are qualified and ready to hit the ground running. This rapid response capability enables businesses to seize opportunities without the lag time typically associated with internally recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding new hires.
Undeniable Industry Expertise
Understanding the specific needs of the manufacturing and light industrial verticals is crucial, and staffing agencies bring an essential layer of specialized knowledge to the recruitment process. When partnered with a team of staffing experts, companies can skillfully connect with candidates who fit their business objectives. Employment agencies always consider factors like peak production periods, technology integration, and workflow optimization to ensure placements keep operations running optimally.
Enhanced Flexibility and Scalability
Business demands in the light industrial sector can fluctuate dramatically. Whether scaling up for a seasonal peak or scaling down after project completion, firms like ours at Just In Time Staffing provide the agility businesses need to adapt quickly. Access to flexibility like this is a crucial component in maintaining productivity without the financial strain of maintaining a permanent workforce that might not always be fully utilized.
Cost Savings and Risk Mitigation
The financial implications of hiring can be considerable, especially when factoring in the costs of poor talent placements. When partnering with a staffing agency, companies can significantly reduce these risks. The firm handles all aspects of the recruitment process, from advertising roles to conducting thorough screenings, ensuring that only the most suitable candidates move forward. This saves money and safeguards the company’s operational dynamics from the potential of high turnover.
Access to a Broader Talent Pool
Talent acquisition firms maintain a ready pool of pre-screened candidates. Access to a wide net of job seekers is particularly critical in an industry where specific skills may be in short supply. With a broader talent pool, companies can quickly fill essential roles in their operations, reducing downtime and maintaining continuity in production.
Strategic Workforce Management
Effective staffing goes beyond just filling vacancies; it’s about understanding and planning for future needs. Just In Time Staffing works with clients to develop strategic workforce plans that align with both immediate and long-term business goals. Our intricate hiring solutions help companies react to current market conditions while also proactively preparing for future challenges and opportunities.
In the light industrial sector, the ability to quickly adapt to changing business conditions can be the difference between thriving and surviving. Strategic staffing partnerships, like the one offered by Just In Time Staffing, provide the tailored expertise that modern businesses need to succeed.

Betting on football can add an exciting layer to your viewing experience, but it’s crucial to do so safely and responsibly. With numerous online bookies vying for your attention, finding a trusted football bookie is essential to ensure your money and personal information are secure bandar bola terpercaya. Here are some key tips to help you navigate the world of sports betting and make informed choices.
1. Check Licensing and Regulation
Before placing any bets, verify that the bookie is properly licensed and regulated. In many countries, reputable bookmakers must have a license from a recognized regulatory authority. This not only ensures that they operate within the law but also provides a layer of consumer protection. Look for information about their licensing on their website, and check for any regulatory seals that signify compliance.
2. Read Reviews and Ratings
Take the time to read reviews and ratings from other bettors. Websites like Trustpilot, Reddit, and specialized sports betting forums can provide valuable insights into the experiences of other users. Pay attention to comments regarding payout speed, customer service, and the overall betting experience. Be cautious of bookies with consistently negative reviews, as they may indicate reliability issues.
3. Assess the Range of Betting Markets
A trustworthy bookie should offer a diverse range of betting markets. This includes not only popular leagues and events but also niche markets for various football competitions. A wide selection indicates that the bookmaker is well-established and caters to a broad audience. Additionally, ensure they provide competitive odds to maximize your potential returns.
4. Look for Secure Payment Options
Security is paramount when it comes to online betting. A reputable bookie will offer secure payment options, including well-known credit and debit cards, e-wallets like PayPal or Skrill, and other trusted payment methods. Check for SSL encryption on their site, indicated by a padlock symbol in the address bar, to ensure your financial information is protected.
5. Evaluate Customer Support
Reliable customer support is a hallmark of a trusted bookie. Before signing up, test their customer service by reaching out with a question or concern. A responsive support team is crucial for resolving issues promptly. Look for multiple contact methods, including live chat, email, and phone support, and check their availability hours.
6. Examine Bonuses and Promotions
While bonuses can be enticing, it’s essential to read the terms and conditions associated with them. Look for clear wagering requirements and expiration dates. Trusted bookies will provide straightforward promotions that are fair and easy to understand. Avoid sites with overly complicated bonus structures or hidden terms that could lead to disappointment.
7. Be Wary of Too-Good-to-Be-True Offers
If a bookie is advertising incredibly high odds or unrealistic bonuses, exercise caution. Such offers can often be red flags for scams or unreliable operations. Always compare odds across multiple platforms to ensure you are getting a fair deal without compromising on trustworthiness.
8. Stay Informed About Responsible Gambling Practices
A reputable bookie will promote responsible gambling and provide tools to help you manage your betting activity. Look for features such as deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and links to gambling support organizations. A commitment to responsible gaming shows that the bookie prioritizes player welfare over profits.
Finding a trusted football bookie is crucial for a positive betting experience. By following these tips—checking for licensing, reading reviews, assessing payment options, and examining customer support—you can make informed decisions and enjoy betting on football safely. Remember to always bet responsibly and within your means, ensuring that your experience remains fun and enjoyable. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Originally airing in 1966, Star Trek was, and still is, a hit, becoming a massive franchise with over a dozen films, nine television series (including two animated series), and a dedicated and fervent fanbase known as Trekkies.

The problem with postoperative section caesarean (SC) patients that often arises is pain. Pain is especially felt on the first and second day, so the patient needs help fulfilling their daily needs. This study aims to determine the effect of deep breathing relaxation on post sc patient pain. The research was carried out at Ryacudu Hospital in July-October 2018. The research design was a quasy experiment with a pre-post test design with a control group. The research sample was 78 respondents who were divided into two, namely the intervention group and the control group. The independent variables studied were deep breathing relaxation as the independent variable and pain as the dependent variable. The analysis used is the independent t test. The results of the study, 70.5% of respondents aged 20-35 years, 55.1% secondary education, 66.7% first parity, and 73.1% first surgery experience. There was a decrease in the average pain score in the intervention group from 6.23 to 3.41 and in the control group from 5.64 to 4.59. The result is that there is a significant effect of deep breathing relaxation exercises on reducing the pain scale of postoperative SC patients, p = 0.000. Provision of deep breathing relaxation is very appropriate for postoperative SC patients

After a couple months negotiation and some pretty hairy decision making processes I’ve finally signed and sealed a new contract to begin working at The Times.
On 1 August I’ll take up the position of Assistant New Media Strategist and I’m very excited about this career opportunity. I’ll be working directly with Colin Daniels (who becomes my boss) and Editor Ray Hartley and I’ll also work very closely with Carly Ritz and Gregor Rohrig which excites me immensely.
Oh, and I simply can not forget about David Bullard either. After calling him a wanker I’m now going to be working with the enemy which should provide some interesting encounters of the narcissistic kind.
Leaving Twac was not an easy decision to make however I do feel there is a lot of opportunity for me at The Times. The most important aspect for me in deciding to leave, apart from money of course, was the excitement around being innovative on a fairly large scale level which is something I’ve wanted for some time now.
I really believe The Times has the right people on board to make it a success and I’m simply honoured to now be a part of it. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Despite a club’s best intentions to make sure all coaches are maintaining consistent verbiage across age groups and skill levels, and keeping the expectations of the training environment relatively consistent, it often devolves into coaches putting their own spin on how they train their squad. What results is a team identity that is uniquely their own and becomes an integral component of their overall performance.
Often when I speak to team’s about their identity, I refer to Nitsch and Hackfort’s (2016) idea that performance excellence means intentional and valuable contributions relative to the sociocultural and/or personal value system the team has created, or has yet to create. Their theoretical framework of performance psychology argues that “performance” is a relational concept. Furthermore, “Team Values” provide a standard, and an aspiration level, in relation to the athlete’s skills and their personal value system. When we adhere to the established core values of the team, we achieve performance excellence through maximizing intention of the behaviors we want to see out of our athletes and minimizing unfavorable side effects and undesired long-term consequences. With a framework to describe how we need to behave on/off the court, our season becomes about developing, maintaining, and reestablishing (if need be) desired and actual motivation, competence, and resilience of the team so that they can adapt to the rising-demand of competition.
Define Value Systems
Now, if you have been following along with the Coaching Mental Performance Series, you recognize that there is a theme of bottom-up processing (see the article around the neurobiology of development). When we consider that the athletes are trying their best to regulate themselves, coregulate with their peers, and manage the stress of their environments, coaches want to make sure they provide environments that allow athletes the freedom to express themselves as naturally as possible; so as to have a safe environment to figure out how they respond to the demand of competition. Therefore, when guiding value orientation sessions, I encourage the players to define their value systems. This places the players as the sole creators of the set of standards they will base their performance from and increase the likelihood of them naturally developing the resilience needed to adapt to the demands of competition.
Often coaches extensively and specifically define offensive and defensive systems, starting positions, nuanced play-patterns (like who should get the second ball when the setter takes the first), and even how to play the ball. The more the coaches define for the athletes, the higher risk they have of impeding the athlete’s natural instincts to the point where they do not feel safe expressing themselves now, and during future efforts. Value Systems therefore can help define your training environment in a way that the athlete’s can adhere to and regulate themselves within, without too many structures and regulations impeding their natural movements, therefore allowing them to adapt to the rising demand of competition and achieving performance excellence.
- They ultimately will play for themselves and each other, so they all must be in agreement with these values.
- How we hold each other accountable will be determined on how we define each of these values.
- Values are relatively static, however we can address and reestablish a team value during our season if it no longer aligns with how the team wants to operate. Often-times this happens when players are moved on/off our teams.
- Defining core values can have a language component – however language here is largely arbitrary. Language serves as our reference point for a felt sense of alignment, not necessarily always to be logical and rational. Allow the athletes to use whatever language they need to articulate how they want to feel and ultimately perform on the team.

Rapid industrialization and access to modern facilities have resulted in large scale worldwide urbanization. Urbanization increases concrete structures which adversely affect the green habitats of that particular locality. Reduction in plants (trees, shrubs, herbs) has a negative impact on the in-situ ecosystem as it is directly linked to the biodiversity of the site. Plants bear flowers and fruits which attract various pollinators and other birds and animals which rely on these supplies for their nutrition. Furthermore, these smaller organisms are prey to larger ones; hence, the food chain of the region thrives and flourishes. Removal of the base of this chain ends in collapsing the ecosystem balance which leads to loss of associate ecosystem function altogether. This is harmful for the environment and also for us.
Considering the ill effects of urbanization and its destruction of surrounding greeneries, people have now started to think and focus on improvisation. The most common practice that has gained popularity is the concept of increasing green space within concrete buildings. For this purpose, small water fronts, parks, terrace gardens, green roofs, etc. are being introduced in various new residential and official constructions. This can both enhance the aesthetic value of the place and boost the biodiversity on the local scale. Abundance and diversity is also seen among the microorganisms which inhabit such green areas. These microbes play important role in various biogeochemical cycles and are also associated with important ecosystem functions (decomposition, primary production, etc.). Additionally, more green space results in providing more shaded regions which facilitates cooling of that area bringing down the temperature during the hot months. Moreover, residents and working officials are able to relax and walk in such spaces to ease their stress. Overall, such structures improve the quality of living and assists in maintaining ecosystem diversity and functioning.

Life happens pretty fast. Most of us are busy working away, adding to our retirement accounts in a company plan or an IRA. Before we know it, we’re nearing retirement. And there is something I’ve noticed about this.
It isn’t hard to build up our retirement if it’s taken out of our paychecks or checking accounts automatically. We don’t ever really miss it. But we may not find it so easy to do this with our after-tax money. Setting aside money for emergencies, other long-term savings, ready cash for vacations and big ticket items is important also.
We’ve grown accustom to instant gratification, impulsively buying things we don’t need, and we whittle away the money we could be saving in a savings or investment account apart from long-term retirement ones.
In approaching retirement, many people find they have a nice amount in their IRAs or retirement plans, yet not much elsewhere. Once in retirement, or unluckily, laid off, they find they need to not only depend on an income from the retirement accounts, but it also is the place they need to go for big expenses such as repairing big items, needing a new a/c unit, or other big costs. And if they turn 70 ½, now they have to take a significant amount out for their RMD, (Required Mandatory Distribution), because the IRS wants to tax that account you’ve had great tax advantages on for so long.
One scenario: George has $1,000,000 in his IRA. He turned 70 ½ this year and must withdraw $50,000 and pay taxes on that. He may not need it, but he has to take the distribution anyway. He could have directed some of those savings to non-retirement accounts.
Another scenario: Harry, 55, has saved $300,000 in his IRA but has only about $7,000 in savings. He needs a new roof that will cost him $15,000. He needs to take it out of his IRA, paying income tax and a 10% penalty because he is not yet 59 ½ .
The advice here is, in addition to saving for retirement, it is important to set aside other monies that is readily available without penalties or tax consequences. There are several ways to set this up automatically, much like your retirement plan at work.
There are more ideas, see if you can think of some. Just be aware so all your assets aren’t in a retirement account. Retirement accounts are for retirement income down the road.
Get with a financial planner and figure out a plan that will give you the income you’ll need in retirement and savings for needs while you’re working. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Have you ever wondered what men are hiding inside their waist coats in all those classical portraits?
You know what I’m talking about, right? All those stately portraits from the 18th and 19th century where men are posed with their right hand tucked inside their clothing. It seems rather odd to me. Who really stands that way? What could they be hiding? Perhaps a snack in case the portrait session lasted too long? Maybe a weapon in case the artist didn’t portray them in a favorable manner? Some have suggested that the portrait’s subject had an ulcer or other stomach ailment, or perhaps he is winding his watch or scratching an itch.
It seems the real reason is quite simple.
Early in the 18th century, English portrait artists began looking to classical orators and the postures used in ancient Greek and Roman statuary for their inspiration. The hidden-hand pose, according to the Greeks, conveyed calm assurance and became popular among the nation’s statesmen. In fact, many Greeks considered it rude to speak with your hands outside of your clothing especially when discussing matters of state.
By the time of Aeschines, a famous Greek statesman and orator, the tradition had gone out of vogue. But in his speech, Against Timarchus (346 B.C.), Aeschines challenges Timarchus and all Greek statesmen to reinstate the custom:
“And so decorous were those public men of old, Pericles [495-429 B.C.], Themistocles [524-459 B.C.], and Aristeides [530-468 B.C.] (who was called by a name most unlike that by which Timarchus here is called), that to speak with the arm outside the cloak, as we all do nowadays as a matter of course, was regarded then as an ill-mannered thing, and they carefully refrained from doing it. And I can point to a piece of evidence which seems to me very weighty and tangible. I am sure you have all sailed over to Salamis, and have seen the statue of Solon [638-558 B.C.] there. You can therefore yourselves bear witness that in the statue that is set up in the Salaminian market-place Solon stands with his arm inside his cloak. Now this is a reminiscence, fellow citizens, and an imitation of the posture of Solon, showing his customary bearing as he used to address the people of Athens.”
While Napoleon’s portrait by Jacques Louis David may be the most iconic depiction of a “hidden hand” portrait, the fad had been revived nearly a hundred years earlier. Francois Nivelon’s A Book Of Genteel Behavior of 1738 states the hand-inside-vest pose denoted “manly boldness tempered with modesty.” It seems the English elite liked this portrayal of themselves and began commissioning artists to paint them in the revived Greek pose. In her essay,”Re-Dressing Classical Statuary: The Eighteenth-Century ‘Hand-in-Waistcoat’ Portrait,” Arline Meyer notes the pose being used in eighteenth century British portraiture as a sign of the sitter’s breeding. The gesture became used so frequently that people questioned whether or not the artists were even capable of painting hands.
Even with the advent of photography, the stance continued to remain popular. Although usually photographed in a seated position, “hand-in-pocket” images can be found of American weapons inventor Samuel Colt, author of The Communist Manifesto Karl Marx, and many civil war general including Major Generals George B. McClellan, Ambrose Burnside and William Tecumseh Sherman. The practice fell out of favor by the end of the 19th century, although it was still occasionally used in the 20th century, most famously by Joseph Stalin.
With the introduction of smart phones and their ability to take photos anywhere at anytime, do you think we’ve lost an ere of respectability in the way we represent ourselves in photos today? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Sensory projects are one of those activities I wish we did more of because they are such a hit when we do them. The downside is that the preparation, like with many activities such as cooking, takes much longer than doing the activity. Today’s was a total flop. We waited for hours to see a reaction that never happened because I used the wrong seeds. Then the desire to stir by the boys resulting in a spill. Their faces show exactly how we all felt about today’s activity. For the record I did it again later using the correct ingredients and it was still a flop. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
