Radar Armenia's interlocutor is Shahan Gantaharyan, an international scholar.
- Israel struck Iran in response to the April 13 attack. What developments should we expect? Will Iran retaliate against Israel?
- It is clear that Israel was going to respond, even though the USA warned not to retaliate. The long-range, air-neutralized ATS strategy works in two directions. Proxism has been transformed into direct areas. Iran violated the rules of the game, and Israel responded proportionately.
- Will the conflict between Israel and Iran escalate into a full-scale war, and in such a scenario, what dangers could there be for the South Caucasus, particularly for Armenia?
- There will not be a large-scale war in the region. Multi-target, multi-point, local, and hybrid formats will continue to thrive without becoming large-scale. This is the spread of the military models of the Third World War in different regions. Azerbaijan's geographical position in the South Caucasus will be valued, but the use of Azerbaijani bases for Israel depends on Ankara, and Ankara will negotiate with the USA. As of now, Ankara's dependence on Washington has strengthened.
- In your opinion, is the Israeli strike coordinated with the United States, and is the United States in favor of a new war?
- The USA continues to play the role of referee in this matter. Interestingly, the head of the US intelligence department turned to his Turkish counterpart to mediate in the Israel-Iran conflict. The result is that Israel is being forced to wage war on many fronts: in South Lebanon, Gaza, the Red Sea, and now directly in Iran. And this multilateralization is controlled by the USA.
- The Russian peacekeeping troops left Nagorno-Karabakh ahead of schedule. To what extent is this process related to the Israel-Iran conflict?
- Russia's withdrawal from Artsakh still left unanswered questions. It is premature to announce that Russia is leaving the South Caucasus altogether. It is more related to the war in Ukraine. The complete depopulation of Artsakh rendered the presence of Russian peacekeepers meaningless in Artsakh. Still, Moscow continued to declare that it would remain in Artsakh, a decision for Moscow and Baku. Now, things are moving fast. The processes of the presence or removal of the Russian Federation in the South Caucasus are interrelated with the military events recorded in Ukraine. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Yet another excellent, fun, action packed, deeply thought provoking and funny story about everyone's favourite SecUnit.
I knew I would love this book, I knew it would draw me in, I knew it would make me laugh and I knew it would make me think - so I bought it as soon as I possibly could, then saved it. Sure enough life hit a rough patch and I started reading this. SecUnit watches Media to help him cope with a overload induced shutdown. I read for the same reasons - it helps.
If you know this series you know what to expect. This one has a lot of really, really well written character development (SecUnit has been through a lot). It also has a lot of ART, which I love.
No spoilers - but the ending is just absolutely right.
This is just a great series | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Maithong Suranaree Cooperative
Maithong Suranaree is a silk weaving co-operative in Pak Thong Chai, Thailand. They are now on their 4th generation of weavers, creating modern fashion designs with traditional methods, something we feel is so important for the preservation of hand-weaving in the younger generations.
The weaving co-op was founded by Nang, who has worked tirelessly alongside her mother, Amnuay in an attempt to preserve the precious skills of ancient Ikat weaving. Nang’s silk trading started as a small shop in town in order to earn extra income to support her family.
Their pieces became so popular during this time that they had to take on more weavers, and it was then that they decided to start the co-operative so the whole village could benefit from their success. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Raytheon Standard Missile-6 successfully hits surface target
SM-6 air defense interceptor proves surface-to-surface engagement capability
PACIFIC MISSILE RANGE FACILITY, Hawaii, Mar. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company's (NYSE: RTN) Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) successfully engaged a surface target -- the decommissioned USS Reuben James (FFG 57) -- in a recent flight test. The test was a demonstration of the U.S. Navy's concept of "distributed lethality," employing ships in dispersed formations to increase the offensive might of the surface force and enabling future options for the joint force commander. The USS John Paul Jones fired the SM-6 during the test; another Air Defense Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer was on station as the assist ship.
The mission validated that the legacy Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW) capability of the Standard Missile-2 family of missiles and the MK7 Aegis Weapon System (AWS) has successfully carried over to SM-6 and the latest Aegis Destroyer baseline 9. The investment in the Standard Missile family resulted in an affordable SM-6 effector that continues to perform beyond expectations.
"This test event demonstrated Raytheon's decades of continued technological development and partnership with the U.S. Navy," said Dr. Taylor Lawrence, Raytheon Missile Systems president. "The ability to leverage the Standard Missile Family and the legacy AWS in newly fielded systems brings additional warfighting capability to the U.S. Fleet."
In recent testing, SM-6 has shown expanded mission capability in three key areas: Anti-Air Warfare, Sea-Based Terminal and Anti-Surface Warfare. The tri-mission capability of SM-6 continues to emphasize its value by providing additional capability beyond its original intended mission.
Raytheon has delivered more than 250 SM-6 missiles, which were deployed for the first time in 2013. The missile's final assembly takes place at Raytheon's state-of-the-art SM-6 and SM-3 all-up-round production facility at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala.
About the Standard Missile-6
SM-6 delivers a proven, over-the-horizon, air defense capability based on the time-tested advantages of the Standard Missile's airframe and propulsion.
- The SM-6 uses both active and semi-active guidance modes and advanced fuzing techniques.
- It incorporates the advanced signal processing and guidance control capabilities of Raytheon's Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile.
- SM-6 delivers multi-mission capability for long-range Fleet Air Defense and Sea-Based Terminal Defense.
Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN), with 2015 sales of $23 billion and 61,000 employees, is a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense, civil government and cybersecurity solutions. With a history of innovation spanning 94 years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration, C5ITM products and services, sensing, effects, and mission support for customers in more than 80 countries.

It’s Election Day and people across the U.S. are making their way to the polls to cast their hopefully well-informed ballots. If you’re one of the many looking for some last minute information on your candidates this morning, beware your source, as much of those grassroots-looking Tweets may actually just be astroturf.
According to the Truthy project, a research effort from Indiana University, much of what you’re seeing on Twitter these days consists of “political smear campaigns, astroturfing, and other social pollution.”
The project uses a combination of data-mining, network analysis and crowdsourcing to ferret out what it calls “truthy memes”. (And yes, “truthy” comes from “Truthiness” a la comedian Stephen Colbert.) These memes are bits of repeatable information that rely on “deceptive tactics to represent misinformation as fact”.
“Wherever there are lots of eyes looking at screens, spammers will be there; so why not with politics?” – Filippo Menczer, principal investigator with the Truthy project.
The Truthy project analyzes where the memes originate from, how they’re spread and how those users are connected to verify their validity. The algorithm also examines “the time of posts, the number of users involved, broadcaster history, the unique topology of the diffusion network, and so on”. When a meme is determined suspect, users on the site can help to provide crowdsourced annotations as to what the particular meme is attempting to say.
Bruno Gonçalves, a research associate on the project, told MIT’s Technology Review that the basic hope behind these astroturfed memes is to convince viewers of the Tweets’ validity by offering context.
“If you hear the same message from many different sources that you think are independent who are saying the same thing, you’re much more likely to believe it,” he said.
One example of the sorts of accounts the Truthy project is looking to expose is that of @peacekaren_25. The description of this particular account points out a number of suspicious points:
The account @PeaceKaren_25 does not disclose information about the identity of its owner. It has generated a very large number of tweets (over 10,000 in four months). Almost all of these tweets support several Republican candidates, especially House GOP leader John Boehner, whose account @GOPLeader is very frequently retweeted or mentioned. @PeaceKaren_25’s tweets also frequently include links to various websites supporting the same candidates, especially John Boehner’s website, gopleader.gov, as well as his Facebook page, blogs, gop.gov, etc.
Before you take off one way or another, know that the site claims it is a non-partisan research group, so there’s likely fodder there for both sides of the fence. The best way to get started is to take a look at the gallery, which offers a bunch of “truthy memes” with crowdsourced explanations of what you’re seeing. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
For decades I have been watching people interact with each other. In the past twenty-five years especially, I have paid close attention, and my observations are not entirely complimentary of us humans. Without meaning to, we are constantly sharing irrelevant information, asking unnecessary questions, offering unwanted advice, and more. This lack of awareness causes us to miscommunicate, to be poorly understood, to fail in our attempts to connect, and to outright offend others.
The other day I was loading 130 bags of top soil into our minivan, and early in the process an employee—wearing the clothing of a supervisor—appeared at the back of the van. She was obviously agitated, pacing back and forth and mumbling to herself.
Among other things she said:
“That’s a big load.”
“Are you sure you can carry all that?”
“Do you think your axle will be all right?”
“Do you have very far to go?”
“Your tires look kind of flat.”
I was mildly amused at the grilling, and said nothing because none of her observations required an answer, none of the questions were any of her business, and I was huffing and puffing from loading the van. I knew why she was there: some check-out clerk must have told the lady that I was loading the van with material I hadn’t yet paid for. Was that true? Yes, I like to fill the van to capacity and then pay for it, rather than guess what will fill the van, pay for it, and discover that I’ve paid for more than or less than a full load.
Among all her comments and questions, she neglected the only two sentences that would have been helpful:
“Would you like an assistant to help you load that?” (Yes, I really would have liked that.)
“Could I see your sales ticket?” (At which point I would have explained my intention to one of the only two people in the garden center—the clerk being the other—who wasn’t well acquainted with me after my hundreds of visits to buy supplies and equipment).
The day before that I had a minor doctor’s appointment, and a ten-minute exam and treatment was extended to twenty minutes as the doctor told me about her sister, her boyfriend and their most recent fight, politics, her upbringing in New York City, her mother, her dog, the weather, and much more. Had I joined in the conversation, I might still be in the office.
It could be argued that my responding would have been simple courtesy. Possibly, but as we participate in such conversations, we encourage a pattern of speaking that is not meaningful communication. We also participate in a custom where meaningful communication is rare, if not extinct.
We need to be more AWARE of what we’re saying, and whether it matters, or whether it’s our business. Parents TEACH their children to talk incessantly by doing exactly that at home. The parents ask:
“What are you doing?”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Are you going to wear that?”
And then the children wonder why people find them annoying as adults.
We need to talk less but communicate more, ask fewer questions but listen better, move our lips more while typing less, and understand more while criticizing little to never. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

My name is Amber, I'm 33 years old, and I grew up in the Greater Rochester area. I grew up in a household where I was exposed to drugs and alcohol early on, and I began to experiment with substances at the age of 10 years old. By 16, I was intravenously using heroin. And shortly after that, I found myself in a severe domestic situation, and I think I turned inward more towards my disease, not really knowing where to go, and I became a habitual heroin user for about seven years.
I have six children. I've since, just recently, completed my associate's degree, and I run a business. I'm a self-employed tattoo artist. And I don't have a lot of money, but I am a rich woman.
I am rich in relationship. I have beautiful relationships in my life, I've repaired relationships in my life, and there are beautiful climactic movies and books written about the life that I get to live. I think that maybe doctors being more familiar with the peer programs or outreach facilities. Like, I know that they don't need to be consumed by it but just maybe have some information to reference and to distribute when coming into contact with addicts in the emergency department and, you know, maybe making yourself familiar with these references that you're giving to people, like, "I know this professional, they do very well.
Please reach out to them." "If you're interested in recovery, I know that this other agency or this facility can help you." And so just keeping in mind or maybe adding that to their tool belt or references to encourage individuals to seek out recovery, you know, to let them know that they know of individuals who have found recovery and just plant that seed of hope into another person. I don't really think it would be ultra time-consuming, but I think that that would be extremely helpful.
Amber has been in recovery for five years. A mother of six, she recently earned her associate degree and runs her own business. Providing information in the ED about peer programs or outreach facilities where people can seek out recovery, she says, can “plant that seed of hope.”

On Saturday, April 12, Chamber guests headed out on the streets of downtown Redlands to taste test some of the finest fare offered by local eateries. The fourth annual Cruisin Cruisine had attendees, feasting on pasta from the Old Spaghetti Factory and a dazzling display of hot and cold hors d’oeuvres including carved fruits and vegetables provided by Alfaro’s Catering at the Chamber office. Right around the corner at the Restaurant of Joe Greensleeves there were savory treats upstairs in the private dining room, then it was off to Corner Bakery Café where sweet treats were offered to “cruisers”, a stop at Rok n Fondue for a sip of the cocktail of the month, and a spectacular visit to the chocolate station had guests all a buzz. Attendees could wander in any direction they wanted so it was a left turn to Wildflowers Fiori de Campo, who hosted Benjarongs for spicy noodles and rice. Oscars Mexican Restaurant offered a variety of bite size fixings and The Royal Falconer offered its British favorite, Scotch Eggs, and The Lounge 22, unveiled a brilliant melon gazpacho. The Sizzler served up a feast of tastings. New to the event Wok in Café offered Chinese delicacies to our travelers.
Each guest had a passport signed at every restaurant that was turned into the Chamber office at the end of the evening making every guest eligible for the grand prized, an I-Pad and case, provided by Paul T Barich. The drawing took place Monday morning and Crystal Chavira, was the lucky winner.
“This is a homerun event for the Chamber and our restaurants.” said Chamber President, Geoff Bonney, Bonney Architecture. “We are able to showcase a number of the amazing dining facilities we have in Redlands. We heard over and over from those participating that they didn’t know about one or more of the restaurants and plan to go back for lunch or dinner. Mission accomplished! Our thanks to all the restaurants that participated in the “cruise”… and to all the cruisers that were treated to an epicurean extravaganza.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I’m a firm believer in studying the Bible every day. To be honest, I don’t do it every day but it’s my desire and I attempt to make the effort. The reason we read and study our Bibles every day is that they bring us the very words of God. As Moses told the Israelites in Deuteronomy 32:47 about the Word of God, “These are no idle words for you, but your very life.” I could go on and spend pages writing about the benefits of Bible study. Instead I want to give you 5 books that I believe will enrich and strengthen your personal study of the Scriptures. There are, of course, many other books. These are just my top 5.
I will say up front that these books are not cheap. They are reference books and they tend to get expensive, although the link I have provided should get you to the best prices. Just click on the highlighted text.
There is no substitute for sitting down with just your Bible and a journal. You don’t need any of these books to study the Bible. All you really need is the Holy Spirit to guide you into it’s truths. However, these can enrich and enhance your study, making it even more fruitful. So here goes…
- The ESV Study Bible. The notes in this study Bible are excellent. They provide valuable insight, background and understanding to the Scriptures. From the publisher, “The ESV Study Bible was created to help you encounter the truth of God's Word as a powerful, life-changing reality. To accomplish this, it combines the best evangelical scholarship with the text, which, as an "essentially literal" translation, is especially suited for Bible study.” You can get it in a variety of covers like leather, hardcover, etc.
- The Gospel Transformation Bible. I love this Bible. It helps the reader understand the Christ-centeredness of all of the Scriptures. From the publisher, “The apostle Paul summed up his whole ministry as existing “to testify to the gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24). That single-minded goal is the heartbeat of the ESV Gospel Transformation Bible. Produced out of the conviction that the Bible is a unified message of God’s grace culminating in Jesus, it is a significant new tool to help readers see Christ in all of Scripture, and grace for all of life.”
- Dictionary of Biblical Imagery. Have you ever read the Bible and wondered what certain imagery it was trying to convey? What do the cedars of Lebanon mean? This huge compendium is extremely helpful in understanding the images of the Bible that we may not naturally get due to the fact that it was written in a different culture and times. From the publisher, “The Dictionary of Biblical Imagery is the first contemporary reference work dedicated to exploring the images, symbols, motifs, metaphors and literary patterns found in the Bible. More than that, it examines the Bible's universal archetypes or master images--including the plot motifs and character types that recur throughout life, literature and the Bible.”
- Systematic Theology, by Wayne Grudem. Doctrine is important. Theology can be confusing. This is a solid reformed systematic theology that will help you make sense out of the doctrine of Scriptures. From the publisher, “The Christian church has a long tradition of systematic theology, that is, studying theology and doctrine organized around fairly standard categories such as the Word of God, redemption, and Jesus Christ. This introduction to systematic theology has several distinctive features: - A strong emphasis on the scriptural basis for each doctrine and teaching - Clear writing, with technical terms kept to a minimum - A contemporary approach, treating subjects of special interest to the church today - A friendly tone, appealing to the emotions and the spirit as well as the intellect - Frequent application to life - Resources for worship with each chapter - Bibliographies with each chapter that cross-reference subjects to a wide range of other systematic theologies.
- The Westminster Confession of Faith with Larger and Shorter Catechisms. A concise theology of the reformed faith. This confession guides our understanding of the core doctrines of the Bible. Catechesis is the art of learning through memorizing questions and answers. Many children as well as pastors have used this to grasp the basic doctrines. The particular edition I am recommending references the Scriptures that each doctrine is based on.

Before we could kick off Project Remote and investigate the remotest locations in every state, we had to develop a suitable definition of remoteness. Being remote evokes feelings in human beings. How remote a person feels varies with a person’s experience, perspective, and comfort zone. The feeling of remoteness is a qualitative, biased metric. For Project Remote, we needed a quantitative, non-biased, definition that we could apply evenly for all states.
Remoteness can be defined in an unlimited number of ways, quantitatively and qualitatively. We also needed to think about what the message of this Project would be. Surely the presence of trails decreases the feeling of remoteness but we want to encourage people to get outside not discourage hiking. One of our main objectives with this project was to bring attention to the extent of the roads in our country, as well as the ecological impact of these roads.
Our definition: the remotest location within a state is the point that is the farthest straight-line distance from a road.
What are your thoughts on this definition? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The boron isotope ratio of seawater (δ11Bsw) is a parameter which must be known to reconstruct palaeo pH and CO2 from boron isotope measurements of marine carbonates. Beyond a few million years ago, δ11Bsw is likely to have been different to modern. Palaeo δ11Bsw can be estimated by simultaneously constraining the vertical gradients in foraminiferal δ11B (Δδ11B) and pH (ΔpH). A number of subtly different techniques have been used to estimate ΔpH in the past, all broadly based on assumptions about vertical gradients in oxygen, and/or carbon, or other carbonate system constraints. In this work we pull together existing data from previous studies, alongside a constraint on the rate of change of δ11Bsw from modeling. We combine this information in an overarching statistical framework called a Gaussian Process. The Gaussian Process technique allows us to bring together data and constraints on the rate of change in δ11Bsw to generate random plausible evolutions of δ11Bsw. We reconstruct δ11Bsw, and by extension palaeo pH, across the last 65Myr using this novel methodology. Reconstructed δ11Bsw is compared to other seawater isotope ratios, namely Sr87/86, Os187/188 and δ7Li, which we also reconstruct with Gaussian Processes. Our method provides a template for incorporation of future δ11Bsw constraints, and a mechanism for propagation of uncertainty in δ11Bsw into future studies.

Polycystin-1 is a large transmembrane protein, which, when mutated, causes autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, one of the most common life-threatening genetic diseases that is a leading cause of kidney failure. The REJ (receptor for egg lelly) module is a major component of PC1 ectodomain that extends to about 1000 amino acids. Many missense disease-causing mutations map to this module; however, very little is known about the structure or function of this region. We used a combination of homology molecular modeling, protein engineering, steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations, and single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) to analyze the conformation and mechanical stability of the first 420 amino acids of REJ. Homology molecular modeling analysis revealed that this region may contain structural elements that have an FNIII-like structure, which we named REJd1, REJd2, REJd3, and REJd4. We found that REJd1 has a higher mechanical stability than REJd2 (190 pN and 60 pN, resp.). Our data suggest that the putative domains REJd3 and REJd4 likely do not form mechanically stable folds. Our experimental approach opens a new way to systematically study the effects of disease-causing mutations on the structure and mechanical properties of the REJ module of PC1.

The user requests of Web systems are often mutually independent, thus can be processed by processors at separate servers/sites. Irregular and/or burst workloads may occur sometimes. Hybrid Clouds could well be suitable for these kinds of Web systems. This research studies the usability and performance of hybrid Clouds for Web systems. Performance metrics measured are response time (RT), throughput and CPU utilization. Analytical results verify that hybrid Clouds can reach the performance level of private Clouds. They also indicate that both the inverse of RT reduction rate and throughput gain are smaller than the corresponding vCPU gain. The network latency of hybrid Clouds obviously affects CPU utilization and performance in some cases. Public Cloud providers offer various deployment models with different price policies. The performancecost relation of hybrid Clouds is derived from experimental data. It offers a guideline for selecting suitable deployment model for performance requirements under a cost constraint. For an arbitrary upper bound of cost, the system using the model of less computing capacities performs better than the one using the model of more computing capacities. This paper presents a novel method to adopt Cloud technology to achieve the balance of security, performance, server sprawl, and CPU utilization.

How’s this for confusing: A surgery journal is retracting researchers’ response to a letter about their paper, because the letter was never actually published.
According to the managing editor of the Annals of Surgery, the letter — about a 2011 analysis of IV fluids in trauma patients — was accepted, prompting the journal to ask for a response from the authors of the 2011 paper. But the letter-writers never supplied required forms, such as conflict of interest. After spending two years trying to track them down, the journal decided not to publish the letter.
In the meantime, however, the authors’ response to the letter was “inadvertently published,” forcing the journal to retract it.
The original letter addressed a 2011 analysis, “Prehospital Intravenous Fluid Administration Is Associated With Higher Mortality in Trauma Patients: A National Trauma Data Bank Analysis.” The study, which challenged a standard routine of trauma care, received other letters to the editor.
Here’s the retraction notice (which is indexed on PubMed but the full text is behind a paywall):
The Editors and Publisher retracted the article, “Reply to Letter: ‘ATLS Protocols of Initial Intravenous Fluid Administration for Trauma Patients; Needing a Revision?’” by Haut et al, published ahead of print in Annals of Surgery on March 18, 2015. The letter this responds to was withdrawn from consideration after being accepted.
When reached for a statement, corresponding author of the 2011 paper, Elliott Haut at Johns Hopkins, told us:
We simply wrote a reply to a letter to the editor that Annals of Surgery received about our paper (now about 4 years old).
I do not know anything about why the original letter to the editor was pulled.
A spokesperson for the publisher, Wolters Kluwer, had a bit more information for us:
Some background on this situation will help to clarify the actions taken: A letter was submitted and accepted but never published because the author’s [required forms were] never received. After multiple attempts by the editorial office to contact the authors of the original letter without success, the letter was withdrawn. In the meantime, the reply to the letter was received and accepted as well, but inadvertently published without the accompanying letter.
The spokesperson also explained why retraction was the best option:
It was determined that keeping the reply in print without the original letter did not make any sense. However, since the reply was published, we did not want to simply pull the reply letter offline without any record or notice in the literature. Retracting the letter and publishing a retraction notice was the most transparent route to manage this situation.
Managing editor Steve Cavanaugh filled in some additional details:
The reason we retracted the response by Dr. Haut is because the letter could not be published.
When my team and I assumed responsibility for the editorial office functions in July 2013, there was a large backlog of accepted papers, including many letters to the editors, that needed attention, the letter in question being one of them. Unfortunately, the authors of this letter never supplied the Conflict of Interest and Copyright release forms, and after 2 years of trying to obtain these, we gave us and withdrew the letter. The reply to this letter, by Dr. Haut et al, had been accepted however, and so we now had a response to a letter that would never be published.
Our publisher’s policies required that we retract the response, rather than just pull it, so we published it in the table of contents of an issue, but immediately retracted it. We regret the hassle for Dr. Haut and his coauthors who took the time to reply to the letter, only to have the work wasted.
Happily, we do not have any other papers from that backlog that will need similar treatment.
When asked about the contact information, he said:
I suspect that the authors moved or changed email addresses, which is why we couldn’t contact them. I did spend considerable time trying to track them down and find a current email address, but was unsuccessful.
Cavanaugh told us the corresponding author was listed as Mohsen Mousavi at the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in Iran. We’ve reached out to the email address supplied with the 2011 letter but haven’t received a response. We’ve been unable to locate any current contact information for Mousavi. We’ll update if we hear anything more.

William Haslam – 1818-1905
William Haslam has the unique testimony of being converted in the midst of one of his own sermons! Haslam, born in 1817, began his ministry after graduating from Durham University in 1841, in the diocese of Exeter. After a brief curacy he became vicar at Baldhu church where the congregation was predominantly revivalist Methodist. The retelling of their conversion experiences drove him to seek counsel from a nearby vicar by the name of Robert Aitken, who persuaded him of the absolute necessity of conversion.
It was on his return to his home church that he preached a sermon on the subject of conversion during which he obtained an assurance of salvation himself! The immediate results were so evident that a Methodist local preacher in the congregation shouted out, ‘The Parson is converted!’ This was in 1851.
Then, for about three years a great revival work broke out in his church. There was a profound sense of the presence of God in the meetings and the more intense it became the more manifest results we experienced. There were conversions of sinners and the restoration of backsliders every week and, often, every day. Sometimes, several people would cry out during the sermons, so much so that the preacher could no longer be heard. Loud praying and praise were common and many had supernatural dreams and visions.
Thereafter Haslam adopted the Methodist revivalistic approach and saw local revivals in several of his Cornish parishes over the next few years. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Colorado Law Firm Specializes In Both Criminal Defense And Immigration Issues
“Our firm is unique in that we specialize in both criminal and immigration cases. There are many times the two areas of law go hand in hand, and additional preparation and negotiation is necessary beyond that of a client that is a United States Citizen. A client’s life could potentially be destroyed if this extra preparation is overlooked.
There are many lawyers out there that either specialize in criminal or immigration, but it is rare to find a firm that specializes in both. We have the ability to offer our clients the benefit of consulting with different attorneys under the same roof, thus reducing potential pitfalls in future representation.
We have experience battling a wide range of immigration issues. We help people that are proactive with their immigration to the U.S. (visas of all types), and people that need to be reactive (deportation defense). Immigration is an area of law that is constantly changing, and these changes are often times politically driven. We are members of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and it is our responsibility to stay current with immigration law to better serve our clients needs.
Being a small firm, we readily make ourselves available to our clients through email, and even cell phone information is given out. There is no “red tape” to get in touch with one of our attorneys. We take pride in the fact that our firm is continually referred business through word of mouth, and we are extremely grateful to be given the opportunity to help so many people.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In the district of Kolondiéba (see map), human pressure is an enormous threat to environmental resources. This problem is intensifying with population growth and the lack of socio-economic and cultural development projects. It is made worse by the development of road communication infrastructures with the major towns. This article focuses on the exploitation of trees for charcoal production.
Map 1: Location of the Kolondièba district
ISSUES AND MOTIVATION
The exploitation of trees for charcoal is a huge loss for biodiversity. However, it is the main activity of the communities in the vicinity of Kolondièba. In this article, we present the causes, actors and consequences of this scourge.
The methodology adopted for this research combined surveys and field observation. The interviews were informal and took place with one or more people. Observation was carried out in the bush on the traces of felled trees and ovens. The observation of thousands of bags of charcoal by the side of National Road No. 27 gave us an idea of the generalisation of the practice in the district, without carrying out a systematic study.
The results of this study show that coal processing plays an important role in economic activities. In this section, we discuss
CAUSES OF CHARCOAL REDUCTION
Charcoal reduction generally meets the need for food preparation. It is carried out by communities for economic reasons. It is work that rewards the physical effort of the worker immediately.
Ignorance and non-compliance with the regulatory framework also encourage the abusive cutting of trees. According to Lassina KONATE, to be protected from the control of the Water and Forests Service, all you need is a monthly permit.
PEOPLE INVOLVED IN COAL MINING
The main players in charcoal mining in the district of Kolondiéba are the communities. They own the land and many of the charcoal kilns found in the bush. Coal buyers have a major responsibility. Production depends on orders. And these days, a lot of coal is ordered for cooking, making tea, laundering clothes and so on. In the Fatou, Kountio, Tié and Woropana areas, there is a coal marketing network.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF EXPLOITING NATURE
The abusive exploitation of trees destroys the flora and negatively influences climatic conditions. In the short and medium term, it causes disease, lack of plant sustenance for medical care, architecture, the manufacture of tools, instruments (musical, artistic, etc.), wildlife migration and social conflict. If nothing is done, in ten years’ time we will be witnessing the desertification of the area.
This work deals with the general aspects of coal mining in the vicinity of Kolondièba. It provides food for thought for the adoption of appropriate environmental protection policies. This should include the creation of economic projects and the implementation of awareness-raising projects. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

While prior research inconclusively demonstrates how musical information is stored in long-term memory, a recent study by Hay (2009) found that interference reduced long-term memory for musical pitch. The present study extended this research to musical tempo and examined whether the stability and accuracy of long-term memory for tempo would be reduced as a result of interference from altered familiar songs. The independent variable was the tempo of excerpts from well-known pop songs, which were presented in either the original form or with the tempo increased or decreased by 10%. Participants with no formal musical training listened to a series of song excerpts and determined, using their song memories, whether they believed each excerpt had been altered. The dependent variable was participants' accuracy at identifying tempo changes depending on the previous song's tempo. The results were not predicted, with participants having high and low identification accuracy for unaltered and altered excerpts respectively, regardless of the preceding song's tempo. While no evidence was found for interference, which seems to indicate accurate long-term memory for tempo, the poor identification of altered excerpts suggests a stronger possibility of poor memory accuracy and stability. The degree of tempo change and participants' song familiarity may have been insufficient for interference to occur. Further research controlling for this or using an alternative interference-based design is necessary for a greater understanding of the affect of interference on long-term memory for tempo.

Corzetti pasta with swiss chard pesto is a delicious alternative to traditional basil pesto. Hearty and bright, this veg-heavy pasta sauce will became a favorite for any pesto lover when the winter chill blows in.
An irresistible combination of green chards, creamy pine nuts and salty cheeses, this cold-weather pesto is flavor-packed and works beautifully with corzetti. An unexpectedly delicious recipe, this pasta dish is a simple way to get kids to eat their veggies.
Corzetti Pasta with Swiss Chard Pesto
- 2 cups Swiss chard leaves
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 3/4 cup parmigiano reggiano cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup pecorino romano cheese, grated
- 3/4 extra virgin olive oil
Start by blanching the chard leaves. Place a large pot of salted water on the stove and bring to a boil. When the water starts simmering, add the chard leaves, making sure they are completely submerged in water. Simmer the leaves for 60 seconds, then remove them from the water using tongs and immediately place them in a bowl filled with cold water and ice. Submerged the leaves for about 30 seconds, then drain and place on paper towels to dry.
In a food processor, pulse the blanched chard leaves, pine nuts, cheeses and extra virgin olive oil together until smooth. Add salt to taste.
Now that your swiss chard pesto is ready, prepare the corzetti pasta using your favorite recipe. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain reserving some of the pasta water. Toss the pasta with the Swiss chard pesto and add some pasta cooking liquid to make it creamy. Serve immediately. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The nation’s attention turned to Oregon this week when a group calling itself Citizens for Constitutional Freedom seized control of part of a federal wildlife refuge. The citizens were protesting the harsh sentences given to members of the Hammond ranching family. The Hammonds were accused of allowing fires set on their property to spread onto federal land.
The Hammonds were prosecuted under a federal terrorism statute. This may seem odd, but many prosecutors are stretching the definition of terrorism in order to, as was the case here, apply the mandatory minimum sentences or otherwise violate defendants’ constitutional rights. The first judge to hear the case refused to grant the government’s sentencing request, saying his conscience was shocked by the thought of applying the mandatory minimums to the Hammonds. Fortunately for the government, it was able to appeal the decision to judges whose consciences were not shocked by draconian sentences.
Sadly, but not surprisingly, some progressives who normally support civil liberties have called for the government to use deadly force to end the occupation at the refuge. These progressives are the mirror image of conservatives who (properly) attack gun control and the PATRIOT Act as tyrannical, yet support the use of police-state tactics against unpopular groups such as Muslims.
Even some libertarians have joined the attacks on the ranchers. These libertarians say ranchers like the Hammonds are “corporate welfare queens” because they graze their cattle on federal lands. However, since the federal government is the largest landholder in many western states, the ranchers may not have other viable alternatives. As the Oregon standoff shows, ranchers hardly have the same type of cozy relationship with the government that is enjoyed by true corporate welfare queens like military contractors and big banks. Many ranchers actually want control of federally-held land returned to the states or sold to private owners.
Situations like the one in Oregon could become commonplace as the continued failure of Keynesian economics and militaristic foreign policy is used to justify expanding government power. These new power grabs will increase the threats to our personal and economic security. The resulting chaos will cause many more Americans to resist government policies, with some even turning to violence, while the burden of government regulations and taxes will lead to a growing black market. The government will respond by becoming even more authoritarian, which will lead to further unrest.
Fortunately, we still have time to reverse course. The Internet makes it easier than ever to spark the ideas of liberty and grow the liberty movement. Spreading the truth and making sure we can care for ourselves and our families in the event of an economic collapse must be our priorities.
We must help more progressives understand that allowing the government to run the economy not only leads to authoritarianism, it impoverishes the lower classes and enriches the elites. We must also show conservatives that militarism abroad inevitably leads to tyranny at home. We also need to continue exposing how the Federal Reserve feeds the welfare-warfare state while increasing economic instability and income inequality. This week’s Senate vote on Audit the Fed is important to our efforts to help the American people learn the full truth about our monetary system.
One thing my years in Washington taught me is that most politicians are followers, not leaders. Therefore we should not waste time and resources trying to educate politicians. Politicians will not support individual liberty and limited government unless and until they are forced to do so by the people. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Through membership of Rotary, individuals – men and women – volunteer to help with community and humanitarian projects that make a difference locally, nationally and globally.
Harpenden Village Rotary Club was chartered in 1988. The 40+ members, men and women, meet at Aldwickbury Park Golf Club, usually every other Wednesday evening, to listen to interesting speakers. On other Wednesday evenings they may go out for a social evening and for some meetings they stay at home and meet via Zoom.
As well as enjoying the social side of Rotary, Harpenden Village Club members, along with others, support our work at Rotary in Harpenden in organising and running our community events and activities in Harpenden and surrounding villages.
Making the most of their diverse professional and business skills, and life experiences, they help youngsters make the most of their potential and raise funds or collect gifts for charity. They also throw their weight behind the staging of our flagship event, Classics on the Common, one of the leading shows in the national classic car calendar.
You can read about all these events and activities by visiting our Events and Activities page.
We donate one quarter of the funds raised to support our own giving. When disasters like earthquakes or floods occur across the world, we have the funds to respond quickly with survival kits like ShelterBoxes. As these are handled by local Rotary Club members or other trusted agencies where the disaster occurs, we can be confident that they are reaching the people who desperately need them.
Donations are made regularly to Rotary’s major global campaign to rid the world of the killer disease polio.
More information about joining Harpenden Village Rotary Club can be found on the club’s website, hvrc.net, including how to contact the club secretary to go as a guest to one of their meetings.
What it means to be a member
“I love that, as a team, we can achieve so much together. Getting involved with the Youth Speaks competition is one example. It’s an event that offers youngsters the chance to strengthen their presentation skills, and it’s a joy to see their confidence grow, knowing that it will benefit them later in life.”
“I first joined Rotary when I lived and worked in Lviv, Ukraine, primarily to get to know local people and become involved in their charitable activities. When I returned to Harpenden I joined Rotary here to pursue the same objectives of service in the community and be part of an organisation which pursues international understanding and the development of goodwill and peace globally.”
“After commuting into London throughout my career, retirement brought the opportunity to engage with and give back to my local community. Membership of Rotary has widened my social circle, bringing comradeship and friendship with individuals equally keen to understand local issues and to support those in need.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Transit Industry Leads in Propane Adoption
It’s been a long time coming, but we are back in person at two major events this week — American Public Transportation Association (APTA) TRANSform Conference & Expo in Orlando and Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) Expo in Richmond.
The transit industry has been a progressive voice in leading the adoption of propane vehicles, especially for paratransit usage. Over a decade ago, we unveiled Flint Mass Transportation Authority’s first propane autogas paratransit bus (now its propane fleet is over 170). More than five years ago, we celebrated the Delaware Transit Corporation’s new propane fuel station along with the agency’s plans to increase its fleet of propane-powered paratransit buses to 130. DTC now operates over 265 propane vehicles.
We recently completed a case study highlighting the adoption of propane autogas by two transit agencies in Washington State. With a goal to lower their emissions and total operating costs, Kitsap Transit and Whatcom Transportation Authority sought paratransit vehicles with cleaner emissions that would help lower their fuel cost. They found their solution with ROUSH CleanTech’s Ford E-450 propane autogas paratransit buses.
Kitsap operates 49 propane-powered paratransit buses that average 25 cents less per mile than its comparable diesel vehicles. Whatcom has 22 propane paratransit buses that don’t have cold-start issues and warm up quickly, saving the agency both time and money. Download the complete case study here.
From coast to coast, more than 1,500 transit buses currently operate with the same backing of Roush engineering expertise as all of our commercial vehicles and school buses. Contact us today if you’d like to talk about your organization’s clean transportation goals.

It is no secret that city life in the United States is making a very significant comeback. In these flourishing cities, residents have been opting out of motor vehicles and into bicycles and many cities have seen this trend and have begun to accommodate cyclists. Building special bike-only lanes and setting up bike stands for people to rent city-owned bikes are only just a few of the ways major cities are catering to bicycle riders these days. In 2014, lane projects in 53 cities in 24 states were on the ground, and by the end of that year, the country had 200 bicycle lanes. That was four times the number the US had in 2010.
Shifting transportation usage from motor vehicles to bicycles can save money for all involved, not just the cyclists themselves. Shifting for driving to cycling will cut the costs to society in general by 25 cents per mile in average city-wide conditions to 50 cents per mile during heavy traffic times. Bicycling isn’t just for exercise or personal savings, the cost benefits can be and are felt all throughout the community.
That doesn’t mean that all cars have to be abandoned altogether. On the contrary, the use of bikes and cars together can make for a well-balanced transportation package. Taking your bikes with you on bicycle roof racks so that you can use it where ever you go keeps the option for biking always open. Even tandem bike racks can serve you well when taking trips outside of the city. Bike hitch racks are also an option if you have the right type of car or truck.
Many couples who enjoy biking together have gone in favor of tandem bikes. This gives a couple the ability to stay together while on a ride, enjoying the scenery and the exercise together. Tandem bike racks are the perfect answer to long trips and travel concerns when it comes to taking your bikes with you on a journey long or short. Bicycle racks for cars can be purchased online or from any bicycle retailer in your area. There is most likely a knowledgeable salesperson in the local bike shop near you who can size up your vehicle and show you just what you’ll need when it comes to choosing the best bicycle rack for your car.
If you ask around, you are most likely to find that adults everywhere would like to bicycle more than they do now. Whether it’s a feeling that they lack the time or a properly fitted bike, reasons to not ride can be far outweighed by the benefits of getting on a bike and putting feet to peddle.
The cities around the country are making moves every year to increase the level of bike riding within the city limits. The suburbs are also following suit, building bike paths through parks and alongside roads so that bikers can ride safely. Take it to the streets. You’ll remember what it was like to be a kid again while improving your health at the same time. If you don’t want to bike alone, tandem bike racks are for two. Strap them on and take to the trails. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

On December 16, 2022, the US Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”) issued a proposed rule that would treat two additional types of transactions as activities that are not exports, reexports, retransfers, or temporary imports (“controlled events”) (and, thus, not require authorization) under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”). The two additional activities that would not constitute controlled events are:
- Taking defense articles outside a previously approved country by the armed forces of a foreign government or United Nations personnel on a deployment or training exercise, provided (i) the defense article is transported by and remains in the possession of the armed forces of a foreign government or United Nations personnel, and (ii) there is no change in end-use or end-user with respect to the subject defense article; and
- Further reexports or retransfers of foreign defense articles that were previously imported into the United States and then subsequently exported from the United States pursuant to an ITAR license or other approval, provided (i) the foreign defense article was not modified, enhanced, upgraded, or otherwise altered or improved in a manner that changed the basic performance of the article prior to its return to the country from which it was imported or a third country, and (ii) a US-origin defense article was not incorporated into the foreign defense article.
DDTC stated in the proposed rule that while not previously specified in the ITAR, its long-standing policy is that these two activities are not controlled events. DDTC is accepting comments on the proposed rule until February 14, 2023 here. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
He got shot in the stomach by suspected armed robbers but managed to drive about four miles while bleeding, to receive emergency care at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
That is the story of Pharmacist Aaron Ohene Agyei, the CEO of Gilat Chemists Limited, after his pharmacy was robbed by gunmen at Agric-Kromoase in Kumasi.
The robbers made away with some cash and mobile phones in the latest of attacks on pharmacies in some parts of the country.
According to Luv FM’s Erastus Asare Donkor, as the gunman was leaving he spotted Aaron in his car close to the shop.
He shot the pharmacist in the stomach and sent another bullet into his vehicle’s tires.
Bleeding profusely and in pain, Aaron drove about four miles from Kromoase to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital’s emergency centre.
Police are yet to effect any arrest or issue any official statement on the latest robbery.
The incident comes in the wake of robbery attacks on pharmacies in parts of Accra. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I have to tell you, we are all about chocolate around here. We love chocolate, any kind of chocolate. If it’s chocolate, it’s not bound to last very long. We always have it around and we munch all day long. It’s just how we are! So when I found this recipe I knew I had to make it and share! It’s very decadent and oh-so-rich so really, save it for a splurge. It’s not something you want to eat every day. Well, wait, let me rephrase that, it’s not something you should eat every day. But once in a blue moon it’s ok! Shhhh, I won’t tell anyone!
9 ounces high-quality (must be high-quality!) semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups heavy (this is where it gets rich) cream
6 large egg yolks
5 tablespoons granulated sugar (add an extra tablespoon if using bitter chocolate)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Place the chocolate in a blender. Whisk the milk, 1 cup cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the spatula and almost boiling, 5 to 6 minutes. (This is where I can’t resist)
Immediately pour the milk mixture over the chocolate in the blender. Cover and hold the lid with a thick kitchen towel; blend until combined and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Divide the chocolate mixture among ramekins or small cups (really the cups should be small it’s so rich you can’t eat too much) and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
Whip (whip it good) the remaining 1/2 cup cream and the confectioners' sugar with a mixer or in the blender until soft peaks form. Top the chilled pots de cream with whipped cream.
It’s so easy to make (a little too easy) and it’s soooo good. If you try it, I’d love to know what you think! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A retrospective study that found a link between pretreatment vitamin D levels and the clinical and endoscopic outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with vedolizumab.
Key findings from the study include:
Vitamin D and Ulcerative Colitis (UC): In patients with UC, higher pretreatment vitamin D levels were associated with significant endoscopic improvement. Patients with vitamin D levels ≥ 30 ng/mL at the initiation of vedolizumab therapy showed a notable decrease in UC Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS) scores after 6 months compared to those with lower vitamin D levels.
Vitamin D and Crohn Disease (CD): In patients with CD, those with higher vitamin D levels at the start of vedolizumab therapy had greater iron saturation and vitamin B12 levels compared to those with lower vitamin D levels. Post-treatment, patients with higher pretreatment vitamin D levels also had significantly greater vedolizumab levels.
Improvements in Vitamin D Levels: Both UC and CD patient groups showed significant improvements in vitamin D levels after starting vedolizumab treatment. In the UC group, vitamin D levels increased more significantly in patients with higher pretreatment levels.
Impact on Other Parameters: The study observed statistically significant decreases in various clinical scores and inflammatory markers in both UC and CD groups after treatment. However, changes in vitamin D levels did not correlate with most of these parameters, except for a significant decrease in C-reactive protein (CRP) among CD patients with baseline CRP > 5 mg/dL who had greater improvements in vitamin D.
Study Implications: The findings suggest that vitamin D can play a role in clinical and endoscopic outcomes for IBD patients treated with vedolizumab. The study recommends routine assessment and optimization of vitamin D levels in IBD patients in future prospective studies. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Disney Reveals First Look at ‘Moana 2’
Moana 2 is not only happening, it is coming to theaters before the end of 2024.
That was the news announced today by Disney CEO Bob Iger, who said in a statement “Moana remains an incredibly popular franchise, and we can’t wait to give you more of Moana and Maui when Moana 2 comes to theaters this November.”
The announcement also included the first official still from the film:
Disney also debuted a first (very short) teaser for the sequel:
READ MORE: The Worst Disney Live-Action Remakes Ever
With over $629 million at the worldwide box office, Moana is the fiffth highest-grossing film in the history of Walt Disney Animation Studios, behind only the two Frozens, Zootopia, and Big Hero 6. The first film starred Auliʻi Cravalho as the title character, the daughter of the chief of her island village, who goes on a journey across the ocean to save her home. Along the way, she teams up with a cocky demigod named Maui, voiced by Dwayne Johnson.
The press release also says the sequel contains “music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina.” Notably missing from that list of creators: Lin-Manuel Miranda, who co-wrote several of the hit songs from the first Moana, including “How Far I’ll Go” and “You’re Welcome.”
Here is the new film’s official synopsis:
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ epic animated musical “Moana 2” takes audiences on an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.
Moana 2 is scheduled to open in theaters on Nov. 27, 2024. Disney had previously announced a live-action Moana remake, starring Dwayne Johnson as Maui. It’s not clear when (or even if?) that film will be made and released.

[Sponsored] A favorite destination among Singaporean travelers, Kyoto is a truly magical place. Such is the beauty of Japan’s former imperial capital that it’s inspired paintings, poetry and novels. Set along the Kamo River with views of the Higashiyama mountains, Funatsuru Kyoto Kamogawa Resort is the perfect place to experience all that the city has to offer. Here’s why.
It has a unique history
Funatsuru is a landmark with close to 150 years of history—it’s designated a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. The current traditional wooden structure was built more than a century ago by skilled craftsmen and its charms cannot be replicated anywhere else.
It offers versatile event spaces
Considering hosting an event in Kyoto? Funatsuru can cater to your every need with its MICE facilities. From the intimate rooftop terrace and ceremony space, to the VIP Room (for up to 40 guests), Gallery Room (for up to 100 guests) and Grand Ball Room (for up to 200 guests), the resort boasts a space for every occasion. The team at Funatsuru is well-equipped to organize themed parties which include cultural performances or sake and tea ceremonies.
It is a place for all seasons
Located in the heart of Kyoto, Funatsuru is a vantage point to see the many faces of Kyoto through the changing seasons. In spring, you’ll witness the blooming of cherry blossom trees, in summer, you can partake in kawayuka—the local tradition of dining on a terrace by the river, and later in the year, you can catch glimpses of autumn foliage close to the property. You can also expect to bump into some of Kyoto’s famed geishas here.
It serves up unforgettable Kyoto-French cuisine
One can’t discuss Kyoto without bringing up its cuisine. Blending traditional French fare with Kyoto’s best local ingredients, Funatsuru’s in-house restaurant is an attraction of its own. Helmed by Grand Chef Shu Ishii, the restaurant uses ingredients like kyoyasai (specially designated traditional vegetables), ayu (sweetfish), wagyu beef and hojicha (a roasted variety of green tea) to craft memorable seasonal dishes.
Bookings can be made by email. For more information, head to the Funatsuru Kyoto Kamogawa Resort website.

Previously located at the Glass House, and now reopened in The Heeren Shops after yonks, T.G.I. Friday’s is back—with excellent frontage at that. We’re big fans of nostalgia, so we decided to revisit good ol’ Friday’s and see if its return was worth thanking God for. So we trooped down on a weekend during midday. The staff looked confused when we informed her of our reservation, and hesitantly led us up a steep flight of steps to the air-conditioned second story (the first story is a smoking area). We had to pass by a decidedly unglamorous washing/cooking area, before finally getting to the pretty part of the restaurant; and consequently to our table. The vibe was standard Americano—bright posters and wooden tables, like a diner; while the menu was surf ‘n’ turf, with a big emphasis on ribs and steaks. So we went for a half rack of Jack Daniel’s glazed ribs, a Friday’s Shrimp platter, chicken fingers and an Orange Slush. The grub took forever to arrive, but thankfully the Orange Slush got to us first. The first sip of the drink set the tone for things to come: It was disappointing—and was more ice than orange, and more tasteless slush than Orange Slush. Now on to the grub. While the Jack Daniel’s sauce slathered on the ribs added some robust sweetness, it wasn’t the most tender or fall-off-the-bone ribs we’d had. Despite its name, the shrimp platter only had about five shrimps in it, which they tried compensating with tons of fries. The fries were OK, but the few shrimps we had were disastrous (doubly so, considering the price—a total rip-off). They tasted like the prawns had been deep-fried without marination. The chicken fingers were dry and stringy, and we had to struggle to finish it. Long John Silver’s could have done better, and at a fraction of the price. After these letdowns, we pinned our hopes on the dessert—hoping to end our meal on a less catastrophic note. The peanut butter pie was everything the rest of the grub wasn’t: Delightful, rich, and oh-so-yummy—with a lovely peanut butter graham cracker crust, chocolate ganache, peanut butter mousse and whipped cream. But the rest of the meal was dismal—and we really can’t say we’re glad Friday’s is back if they continue with such food, and at such prices too. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If you’d like your food-allergic child to get the school’s hot lunch, filling out a Meal Modification form is the way to go. You may be able to avoid years of frustration and pitfalls if you do. This is the second part of Monday’s post, Food Allergies and School Lunches.
How to use a Meal Modification Form
I wish I’d know this from the start. Or more to the point, I wish I’d understood this from the start. Any child (in public school) whose dietary restraints qualify as a disability has legal protections in the school kitchen, just like they would with a 504 plan. That’s where the Meal Modification Form comes in.
A doctor need to fill out this form, demonstrating that the child has a dietary disability. The doctor fills out what the child cannot have and what substitutions are acceptable. Then it goes back to the school, through the district to whoever runs food services. At that point they have to analyze what foods they offer and see what alternatives they can provide.
Our school typically offers two meal choices each day: a main “hot” course and more of a bag lunch if people don’t want the first option. Since my kids were able to eat a lot of the hot meals, Nutrition Services and I agreed that coming up with safe alternates was acceptable. They somehow found a Sunbutter equivalent of the Uncrustables sandwiches called Sunwise, which was amazing! (I don’t know if they’re available for retail purchase anywhere though, it may just be for food services customers.) They also concocted a lunch where my kids would get a little to-go cup of Sunbutter with something to dip in it.
It took me until my older son Zax was in Fourth Grade to get this figured out. In fact, it was halfway through the school year. Once we had our form turned in and worked out the details, school lunch was like magic! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Multiple-strain formulas dominate the probiotic landscape; however, there is growing evidence for the benefits of certain single-strain probiotic supplementation. The dynamic field of probiotic research has led to the isolation of specific strains with benefits for immune-system performance. Although most probiotic strains are well tolerated by the majority, individuals with certain life circumstances or health conditions may benefit from the supplementation of specific strains before others.
Bifidobacterium infantis is among the pioneer probiotics to inhabit the infant gut, helping forge a healthy immune system. In fact, more than half of Canada’s neonatal intensive-care units administer a probiotic formula featuring B. infantis to babies born prior to 32 weeks. A lack of it at birth can continue throughout life, and exposure to processed foods, environmental toxins, antibiotics, and germs can lead to the decline or elimination of this fundamental probiotic strain. Supplementation can reestablish the foundation of gut flora in children* and adults.
Bifido Infantis’s GPS™ capsules have a natural enteric coating that survives stomach acid and ensures the probiotics reach the intestines where they colonize to benefit your health.
Just like all New Roots Herbal probiotics, Bifido Infantis is refrigerated from the factory to the retail store, in order to ensure optimum effectiveness of the probiotics as they reach your intestines.
* This product is indicated for children aged 6 years and older. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If you've eagerly opened Lightroom, installed your creative profiles, but they mysteriously remain absent from your workspace, you're not alone. This common hiccup can stall your photo editing flow. Let's troubleshoot this issue together, ensuring your profiles are ready to enhance your images.
Understanding The Role Of Image Format In Profile Compatibility
The Image Format Dilemma: RAW vs. JPEG
The type of image file you're working with in Lightroom greatly influences the availability of certain features, including profiles. Profiles are specifically designed to work with RAW images through the Camera Profile option. This feature allows for extensive manipulation and is tailored to harness the rich data of RAW files.
JPEG images, conversely, do not support these profile adjustments due to their compressed nature. If your workflow includes JPEGs, consider using presets instead. Presets provide a similar level of artistic manipulation without the need for RAW's data-rich structure, making them a perfect alternative for JPEG enthusiasts.
Addressing Profile Visibility Post-Lightroom Update
Post-Update Profile Disappearances
It's not uncommon for profiles to vanish or become inaccessible after a Lightroom update or due to other installation anomalies. This can be frustrating, especially if you rely on these profiles for consistent editing output.
Quick Solution Guide: Restore Your Profiles
To effectively restore your missing profiles, we recommend following the clear, step-by-step instructions provided in this helpful video tutorial. This resource is designed to guide you through the recovery process, ensuring that you can get back to editing with your favorite profiles without delay.
By addressing these key issues related to image format compatibility and update-related glitches, you can streamline your editing process and make the most of Lightroom's powerful tools. Don't let missing profiles slow down your creative journey. Follow our guide, and you'll be back to producing stunning, professionally edited images in no time.

Many times a personal injury is caused by some else and you need to use the law to get compensated. Insurance companies tend not to settle for fair amounts. The information included here can help you get a better handle on your case.
Consult with online reviews when searching a personal injury attorney. Avoid calling the yelling person you see in the TV ad. Doing your research as to who you would like to represent you will yield you the best possible results.
You should meet with more than one lawyer before you decide which one you want to hire. Many will offer you a free consultation to try and get your business. Take advantage of these to get a good assessment of the lawyer’s strengths. Ask about fees at these meetings so you have a realistic idea of how much money the lawyer will cost.
Lots of shady lawyers have catchy ads meant to suck in clients, and this is why it is important to stay away from them. On top of what people think about advertisements that seem to good to be true, it’s not too easy to know how good a lawyer is just because you saw them in an ad. Meet them in person before hiring them.
If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of an automobile accident, be very careful not to apologize for anything. If you say you are sorry, the other person will try to prove you are at fault. It doesn’t matter if you know the accident is your fault. You should not apologize.
Personal Injury Lawsuit
It’s not a simple thing to get win a personal injury lawsuit. It’s important you keep good documentation of your injury. Simultaneously, you must take care to choose an excellent personal injury attorney. You should now have the information to decide if filing a personal injury lawsuit is right for you. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Ox Teamster’s Challenge 20th Year
by Nan Clark of Chesterfield, MA
photos by Peter King II and Taka Hamada
Here I am again, on a cold winter day, writing about a hot summer event – the Ox Teamster’s Challenge at the Cummington, Massachusetts Fair. This is my way of keeping warm when the temperature resists getting above freezing and there is still a foot of hard packed snow on my spring bulbs. New England life must be hypnotic or I would be in Ft. Myers watching the Red Sox spring training. At least the ineffectual sun is shining to brighten my corner.
The Ox Teamster’s Challenge brightens my thoughts. Its founder, Mernie Clark, would be so proud and happy that his brainchild had lasted 20 years already. The first year was merely an experiment. Boy, did it take off! Two more Challenge events have begun at two other country fairs nearby – one in Harwinton, CT Fair run by David Armbruster and another in Northampton, MA at the Three County Fair run by Tom Jenkins. Both David and Tom have competed in Cummington several times.
In 2014 the Cummington Challenge celebrated 20 years of entertaining spellbound spectators while, at the same time, educating everyone about the beauty and intelligence of oxen. In these 20 years upwards of 150 different teamsters have participated in this ever-changing obstacle course with their well-trained teams of various bovine breeds. They were judged and timed and their efforts were always applauded. The SRO audiences were treated to interesting, often comical, stories about each teamster and his/her team. Several bovine beauties were celebrities in documentaries. In all these years there have been only six different winners as some have won as many as six times! Still contestants continue to appear because the Cummington Fair officials and other local sponsors are very generous with rosette ribbons, trophies, prizes and money.
A special feature in 2014 was a traditional twisted Hickory whip and lash made by a well-liked teamster of yore, Art Hine. Art’s son, Nathan, another talented and caring teamster, donated the whip. Any teamster willing to use that stick for the course that day received an extra $10. This needs explaining. First of all, the Challenge oxen must be guided with mostly voice commands and very little or no whip. Still, a stick of some kind is like a steering wheel. One teamster accidentally dropped his stick and finished the course waving his cap. The crowd cheered with whoops and hollers for that! Not many current teamsters own a traditional, hand-crafted whip, so it was an added challenge in 2014. Thanks to Nathan Hine we now own that beautiful piece of ox history made by his father, Art Hine.
Another piece of ox history compiled by founder Mernie Clark has been donated to the Cummington Fair Museum – a collection of ox shoes, all sizes including ice caulks. The 20th Challenge moved right along with 12 competitors (some with 2 teams). Special prizes were given in four categories:
- Best Adult Female Teamster – Gail Roberts with a pair of Randalls, “Nick” and “Nack”;
- Best Youth Female Teamster – Nicole Demastrie (age 13) with her Normande team “Moon” and “Neon”;
- Best Adult Male Teamster – Tom Jenkins with “Rock” and “Star” a Holstein/Shorthorn cross;
- Best Youth Male Teamster – Kenny Patten (age 12) with Holsteins “Mike” and “Noodle”.
We welcomed one new teamster, Will Spath, with a carefully cleaned young pair of Shorthorn and Charlais, “Larry” and “Curly”. We do hope to see all three again in 2015. Only one team managed a perfect score – our winners “True” and “Grit”, patiently and skillfully guided by Beverly Moulton. Not her first win, you may remember, but two other teamsters came quite close – D.J. Clary and Jason Dunham. Our 21st Challenge should be very exciting for both the teams and the eager crowd. Maybe there will be more new surprises! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Leo initiated the circle letter discussion on plowing in their very first letter. Already familiar with turning ground with the sulky, he asked for tips on taking the first steps behind the walking plow. The following advice may not be complete, but it is unique in that it combines the fresh impressions and lessons of teamsters who first put their hand to the plow this past year with the seasoned experience of those who have been walking the furrow half of their lives.
There are four general plans, or methods of plowing fields. These are: (1) to plow from one side of a field to the other; (2) to plow around the field; (3) to plow a field in lands; and (4) to start the plowing in the center of the field.
If we agree that quality of plowing is subject to different criteria at different times and in different fields, then perhaps the most important thing to consider is control. How effectively can I plow to attain my desired field condition based on my choice of plow? The old time plow manufacturers understood this. At one time there were specific moldboards available for every imaginable soil type and condition.
They advertise “rain or shine” for the Rock Creek Plowing Exhibition and this year they were put to the test. I’m happy to tell you that the horses and teamsters and spectators passed the test with flying, if soaked, colors. But I had forgotten that folks west of the Cascade Mountain range are accustomed to this sort of weather. I think it was my friend Ron VanGrunsven who, when I asked him why he was there, remarked “It’s too wet to do anything else.”
All other aspects being equal, the primary difference in plowing, comfortably, with a single horse is that the animal walks on unplowed ground immediately adjacent to the previous furrow, rather than in the furrow. This will cause the point of draft at the shoulder to be somewhat higher and will dictate hitching longer and/or higher than with the animal walking down 5 to 8 inches lower in the furrow.
As an anniversary gift my wife took me to Horse Progress Days in Pennsylvania for 2017. I watched the haying display and a few other things before meandering out behind the big field to the vegetable tillage area. As I walked down the lines of equipment I spotted a plow. The world sort of faded away as a rush of awe swept over me. My chest was tight as I neared the plow and I stood breathlessly looking at everything I had hoped for in a small plow bottom.
It’s hard to say why I chose a walking plow. My neighbor tells me they make them with wheels. They make chairs with wheels, too, but I’m not anxious to own one. Land size figured in, and price, and working order, and things said by farmers old and young. I didn’t flip a coin, but I might as well. I decided to start with a walking plow, and at the Small Farmers’ Gathering in Missouri in 1987, I found just the one; a John Deere 16-inch plow with good wood handles. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

You begin and end your day in the bathroom. As a result, it should be a place of rest and regeneration. If it isn’t, it may be time for a change.
The bathroom remodeling advice provided below will assist you in getting your project off to a good start. We’ve compiled a list of everything you need to know about remodeling a bathroom, from the budget to the plan. Here’s your go-to resource for the top 10 bathroom remodeling ideas.
Let’s start working on your dream bathroom!
1 – Begin with your budget.
When remodeling a bathroom, your budget is the first thing you should consider. Whether you have $1,000 or $10,000, making a budget is an excellent place to start. Materials, projected labor expenses, fixtures, fresh paint, and new flooring could all be included in your bathroom budget.
Your contractor can assist you in determining the cost of your project. They can also help you prioritize your finances. Assume your two main goals are to install new flooring and add a bathtub. If your budget is tight, consider painting your current vanity instead of replacing it to save money for the items you’ve prioritized. If your budget allows, you can have your professional bathroom crew handle every aspect. If your budget is tight, you can save money by updating paint and light fixtures. This is where a little research can help you figure out how far your money can go.
2 – What Kind of Bathroom Do You Have?
Identifying your bathroom type is one of the first steps in planning a bathroom redesign. Bathrooms will be classified into two types. A powder room or half bath, a full bath, and a four-piece bath are all options. A toilet and a sink are typically found in a powder room or half-bath.
A complete bath will have a shower or a tub/shower combo. There will also be a sink and a toilet. A four-piece bath has both a separate shower and a bathtub. The bathtub will be isolated from your stand-up shower. You can have a freestanding or built-in bathtub. A piece of glass or a shower door can connect these two pieces. They will all be exposed in a wet bath, with tiles from floor to ceiling, so that the entire bathroom can get wet.
3 – Select Your Bathroom Design
You may pick what your new bathroom will include once you know what type of bathroom you already have. Your contractor can assist you in designing the most functional bathroom arrangement for your available area. Bathrooms in older homes are typically smaller. You might be able to borrow some space from another room to make a larger bathroom. If your bathroom door always bangs straight into your vanity, now is the time to change it! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

My business will deal with farm inputs mainly feeds and agrochemicals. However, I would wish to scale up to farm tools and equipment. Initially I will purchase all the inputs for sale and own consumption. As the business grows , I will start feed manufacture to reduce the input cost and create employment. Unlike other business I hope to provide after sale services. For instance purchases of hundred USD and above transport will be provided and and free extension training provided. The business will be situated in Nakuru county focusing on Njoro and Kuresoi sub-counties. I hope to have upper hand because I am a trained agriculturalist . | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Periodontal Care Colorado Springs COAccording to the CDC, almost 50 percent of Americans have some form of gum disease. With proper periodontal care, though, you can reverse the disease and get your oral health back in order. At SmileCOS Dentistry, Andrew Miller, DDS and Francisco Darquea, DDS are proud to offer top-quality periodontal care to help you avoid the tooth loss, heart disease, respiratory issues, and diabetes that gum disease may cause if left untreated. A Proper CleaningOur periodontal care starts with a professional cleaning and dental exam. During this appointment, our dentists will determine the condition of your gums. If we notice sizable pockets in your gums (the area between your teeth and bone), we will measure the depth of them, and if the pockets measure more than 3 mm, we may recommend a more thorough cleaning called scaling and root planing. Scaling and Root PlaningThe name sounds scary, but the procedure is minimally invasive and effective. Scaling and root planing is another word for deep cleaning. While we do have to administer anesthetic, the recovery from scaling and root planing are easy, and our dentists conduct the procedure with the gentleness that you desire. During the procedure, our dentists scale beneath the gumline, removing all plaque and bacteria build-up that accumulated. We also use this opportunity to conduct root planing or smoothing out the roots, helping them recover from the inflammation caused by the disease. Depending on the severity of your gum disease, we may do the procedure in multiple appointments, cleaning one quadrant of your mouth at a time. After Scaling and Root PlaningOnce we administer a deep cleaning, we typically recommend that our patients come in for a cleaning four times a year, instead of just two times. This allows us to stay ahead of the plaque and tartar buildup. This way, you can avoid the need for scaling and root planing in the future. After a few appointments, we can reassess the situation to determine if you still need cleanings as frequently. Proper Dental Hygiene is CrucialIt's important that you practice proper oral hygiene before receiving a diagnosis of gum disease, but it becomes even more important afterward. Brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing at least once a day can help eliminate the bacteria in your mouth that eventually turns into plaque. It's also important to rinse your mouth out after you eat and keep your regular dental appointments. If you wait until your gums start bleeding or worse yet, receding, you could end up with advanced-stage gum disease that can lead to a referral to a periodontist. We are here to help you stay on top of your oral health. If we notice the signs of gum disease, we will take the necessary steps right away to avoid any further issues. With proper and immediate treatment, it is possible to reverse gingivitis and give you a new lease on your oral health. If you are around Colorado Springs and concerned about your risk of periodontal disease, call us at SmileCOS Dentistry at (719) 394-3304 for your appointment today! |

Bulgaria’s Koubrat Pulev, who will fight Ukrainian heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko for the IBF title in September, has asked his opponent to undergo doping tests during training.
“I am tested for banned substances at least six times a year. I must always be available and notify where I am staying and where I can be found at any moment. Why is this not true for Wladimir Klitschko? That would be only fair,” Pulev told German news agency DPA.
Pulev’s coach, Otto Ramin, is also quoted as saying that as an ambassador for Germany’s anti-doping agency, Klitschko should volunteer for doping tests during his training.
A former European heavyweight champion, Pulev has a 20-0 record since turning professional, with 11 of those wins coming by knockout. He achieved mandatory challenger status from the International Boxing Federation (IBF) in August 2013, after defeating American boxer Tony Thompson.
Pulev, nicknamed “the Cobra”, has made no secret of his desire to fight Klitschko, even going as far as to suggest that the Ukrainian was “afraid” to fight him.
After Klitschko defended his WBO world title against Australian challenger Alex Leapai in April, the IBF said that he would be stripped of his title if he did not fight Pulev next. The Bulgarian described the announcement as a belated birthday present, coming as it did shortly after Pulev turned 33.
(Klitschko, for his part, was reported to be interested in fighting Canada’s Bermane Stiverne for the WBC crown vacated by his brother Vitali – who has since gone into politics and become mayor of Kyiv – to hold all four major heavyweight titles.)
Last week, K2 Promotions won the purse bid to gain promotional control of the fight, outbidding Sauerland Event, Pulev’s promoter. The title bout has been scheduled for September 6 at the O2 World arena in Hamburg, Germany.
Klitschko, aged 38, currently holds the IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles, having successfully defended them in the last 16 matches, the third longest streak in history (although some pundits attribute his domination more to the weak field of challengers rather than his own prowess.) He has held the IBF title since 2006, adding the WBO title in 2008 and the WBA one in 2011.

These are the 5 things that kicked us in the gall bladder (and sometimes in a good way) as we watched Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Episode 8: “The Chicago Way.” And, our observations are a little “spoilery,” so…if you’re catching this tomorrow, I would bookmark this article and join us afterwards. Still with us? Good, we’re always glad to have ya’.
The Roaring ‘20s
There’s not a great deal of DC lore that takes place in the 1920s. After all, the company started up in the early ‘30s, but you would think that there would at least a few DC heroes from the 20s. Not the case, but it would have been cool to see DC insert some of their early heroes in this week’s period piece episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. How cool would it have been to see Slam Bradley, Crimson Avenger, or Doctor Occult fight side by side with the Legends? It could have been a chance to give some live-action love to the DC mystery men that started it all. Did anyone else think of Jim Corrigan, aka The Spectre, when Eliot Ness was about to be put in cement shoes by Al Capone?
A Chilly Visit
This week sees the return of Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold to Legends. Well sort of, because Miller is back, but Cold is just a figment of Mick Rory’s troubled mind. Or is it? Could that really be Len Snart trying to send Rory a message, or is Damien Darhk’s crew messing with Mick? Either way, in the gang war with Al Capone, Rory steps up in a big bad way to save the day. I guess it takes a gangster to beat a gangster.
Hank Heywood has really become one of the hearts of Legends. This week, the episode delves into Haywood’s sibling-like relationship with Ray Palmer as the two have taken on a kind of Dover Boys-like role as two bantering do-gooders trying to one-up each other. Fun stuff involving two of the most earnest superheroes on DC TV.
Legion of Hmmm?
This week, Malcolm Merlyn joins with Eobard Thawne and Damien Dahrk as TV’s Legion of Doom membership grows by one. I have to wonder what this Legion’s long term plans are.
This week, Thawne and company finally get their hands on that mysterious amulet. Turns out the amulet is a compass needed to find one Rip Hunter. It’s an intriguing reveal and I do look forward to seeing what these three big bads have planned. And it also feels good to see Merlyn back on weekly DC TV. Having Merlyn be an antagonist somewhere other than Arrow should breathe new life into the character. Plus, Sara Lance versus Malcolm Merlyn is always a big, “Yes, please.”
Hunter Becomes the Hunted
So, why is Rip Hunter a petulant American film director living in the 1960s? That’s where the amulet leads the villains, as viewers are left with a ton of questions by episode’s end. It’s good to see Rip again, but hopefully this won’t mean Sara Lance will have to give up command of the Waverider because Sara has been a hell of a leader. This week, she gives great support to one Martin Stein as he is still torn over what to do about his recently revealed time-anomaly daughter. Sara is the strong shoulders of the Legends and hopefully she’ll stay that way even if Rip hunter is back in the picture. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
REDtone, another WiMAX operator has quietly launched its portable USB WiMAX offering. The portable USB WiMAX modem comes with 2 plans, the Flexi50 and Flexi80.
Flexi50 offers 512kbps download and 128kbps upload with 8GB quota at RM50/month, while Flexi88 offers 1Mbps download and 384kbps upload with 15GB quota at RM88/month. The packages looks similar with the recent P1 WiMAX Wiggy postpaid plans of WiGGY 59 and WiGGY 89.
Subscribers will have a choice of a 12 month contract with what looks like a free USB Modem or a contract free option that requires RM239 up front for the device. A RM100 deposit is required for the device on the 12-month contract. REDtone didn’t provide much details on the modem except that it looks like a red little box that fits in your pocket. We also wonder that since Intel has launched a new range of laptops and netbooks with WiMAX built-in, REDtone should have look into offering their WiMAX service on them as well. Since the WiMAX module supports 2.3GHz, there shouldn’t be a problem for it to work as long as REDtone’s network is ready for it.
In addition, we noticed that REDtone has expanded its coverage beyond the capital cities of Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. At the moment, we are seeing coverage in Miri, Sarawak as well as Sandakan and Tawau in Sabah.
REDtone has been quite slow in its WiMAX roll out but currently it stands as the 2nd WiMAX operator in commercial service after P1. AMAX, the other WiMAX operator has temporary suspended its service for reengineering purposes until further notice. P1 previously had mentioned that they will be entering East Malaysia around this year. We hope that happens soon to give REDtone some competition in this underserved region.

Back during this year’s CES, Sony announced that they will be launching the PlayStation VR2 headset, but didn’t reveal much else about it. Sony has now revealed the new PS VR2 headset’s design, as well as tease some of the upcoming new features that will come with their upcoming augmented reality accessory.
According to their post on the PlayStation blog, the new PS VR2 headset has an orb-like look. Sony claims that the circular orb shape represents the 360-degree view you can feel once you start playing games in VR. It’s also pretty obvious that the PS VR2 headset’s design takes on the same design philosophy as the PlayStation 5. You can see it with the white colourway, a switch from the black that was all over the original PS VR headset.
Sony also adds that the roundness of the design of the PS VR2 headset matches the rounded edges of the DualSense controllers as these are meant to have constant human contact, in contrast to the PS5’s flat edges as the console is meant to be placed on a flat surface. There’s thousands of tiny PlayStation symbols on the front and back bands of the PS VR2 headset too, just like on the PS5 console and the DualSense controller.
As for ergonomics, Sony has apparently took into consideration about the fit of the PS VR2 headset, with extensive testing done so that the headset will feel right on a variety of head sizes. There will be an adjustable scope too that can adjust the scope area closer or further away from your face, while the stereo headphone jack position has been kept in the same place so that players with muscle memory of it from the original PS VR headset will still be familiar with it.
Other new features include a lens adjustment dial for a more optimal view when using the headset, along with a new built-in motor for improved headset feedback. The PS VR 2 headset will be lighter and slimmer than its predecessor too, with vents on the headset for ventilation when using it.
“When I started to work on the design for the PlayStation VR2 headset, one of the areas I wanted to focus on first was the idea of creating a vent in the headset to let air out, similar to the vents on the PS5 console that allows airflow. Our engineers came up with this idea as a good way to allow ventilation and avoid having the lens fog up while players are immersed in their VR games.
I worked on many design concepts to achieve this, and in the final design, you can see there is a little space in between the top and front surface of the scope that contains the integrated ventilation,” – Yujin Morisawa, Sony Interactive Entertainment Senior Art Director
Unfortunately, Sony did not give us a timeline on when they plan to launch the PS VR2 headset. They did however hint again at some of its features, which include 4K HDR rendering with up to 120Hz refresh rates, enhanced inside-out camera tracking and headset feedback. It shouldn’t take them too long though, as game developers have already been sent PS VR2 development kits to help them optimise their video games for the headset so that it’ll be usable the moment Sony launches it. It’s been five years since the original PS VR headset appeared, and for those who are into the world of VR gaming, the PS VR2 headset could be a new standard in virtual reality. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
