Thank you for being such amazing Landlords, we cannot sing your praises enough.
My partner and I were lucky to find Alistair at Cornwall Properties, who was incredibly helpful in finding us somewhere to suit our needs. The process was straightforward with excellent communication, and we really appreciated how flexible he was in being able to work around our busy schedules. We are really happy with our apartment […]
“Really happy with my rental experience with Cornwall properties. Super friendly and helpful people”
We were thankful to have had Alistair lead us through the process of letting our property. We would have found it very confusing to navigate through the new regulations, but with his friendly, knowledgeable guidance he has made it easier. He is always prompt and understanding with any of our queries. Would definitely recommend the […]
Alistair has a wonderful approach towards tenants and the renting process, being a first time renter going into this was unnerving however I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sweet and Simple, wonderful help along the way, following up and available to help via email, it has been a pleasure.
Alistair has a very welcoming, down-to-earth character and we could not imagine a better service; which is ongoing. I don’t doubt any query or issue we have would be handled proficiently and with great communication. Many thanks.
I was able to secure accommodation incredibly quickly, and they’re always quick to respond to questions and reports and accommodate many requests.
I feel so lucky to have found Cornwall Properties. Thanks to Edward and Alistair who have always been there to help. I would highly recommend them!
I viewed so many flats in Falmouth, Cornwall Properties easily offered the most well maintained, modern properties at a reasonable price. I’m pleased to be a tenant for a local company that’s offering much needed long-term lets to other locals.
Cornwall Properties have been excellent in their communication and providing me with any information needed. A very friendly service that helped relocation occur quickly and smoothly. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I recently enjoyed a 7 day cruise around the mediterranean (from Barcelona) with MSC aboard the MSC Meraviglia, a massive, massive cruise liner, 4th largest in the world at the time of writing carrying 4,500 passengers and 1,500 crew.
Obviously with running various online businesses I was very concerned about the internet access on board at sea as I need to connect to various servers and web sites during the time on board.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that MSC offers various internet packages for its customers so they can still access their social media, emails and other internet services whilst on board.
MSC provides 300MB satellite connection available for shared use by its customers*.
Below is a couple of speed tests I made on my iphone and as you can see the connection is pretty decent.
*So sure, 300MB connection shared amongst 6,000 people is a scary prospect, but MSC “wisely” puts a price barrier and bandwidth limit on the packages they offer which prevents passengers abusing/hogging the connection. Result being: decent speeds all round.
I opted for the “Premium” internet package at €89.90 which offers up to 4GB of bandwidth. I ran out of bandwidth by day 5 and merely topped up with another €26 for another 2GB and that got me through the whole cruise. I pretty much had facebook and email on all the time onboard and was not really being too careful what I was viewing. Obviously if you try and stream netflix or movies, then the bandwidth is going to accumulate quick.
SIDE WARNING: If you take your mobile phone on board, MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF THE CELLULAR/3G/4G SERVICE otherwise your phone company will charge you stupid amounts for any internet access.
Below is a message I got from my provider in Spain each time we went out of range of land based connections and as you can see its ripoff prices for internet access through satellite.
NOTE: In Europe, since 2018, you can enjoy free internet roaming but that’s only for land based connections, not offshore satellite which is a different story altogether. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
White porcelain stoneware and slip
The piece is made up of a group of white clay vases of different heights of a maximum of 50cm. The mouths of the vases are deformed into a human scream.
With this work I have tried to talk about people fleeing wars, conflicts, misery ...
My idea was to do a large number of them in a wave of screaming.
Shouts of wars, ignored, forgotten, uncomfortable rituals. Muffled screams, which are heard but not heard, are not attended to. Screams that are heard in the distance and that nobody wants to hear. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

From Madison, Wis., comes word that radio station WMAD-FM's giveaway contest is over ... finally. To the relief of all involved, it ended just in time for Thanksgiving, and there may not be another like it for a long time. If you haven't heard, the prize was a shiny new $30,000 pickup truck for whoever in a field of eight entrants could outlast the others by sitting in it at a local Ford dealer's showroom. Contestant No. 1 lasted six days. Two more gave up over the next 48 hours and the fourth quit a week later. By Day 28, only Lisa Thompson and Tommy Kempfer remained. But they were still there on Day 38 as well as Day 48, existing on snacks, a 15-minute break every three hours, and occasional chats with customers and the station's on-air personalities. Eventually, to try to force an early conclusion, a cover was placed over the front windshield so they couldn't see out anymore. It didn't help. At Day 55, it was WMAD whose patience was near an end. "We sensed," said morning cohost John Flint, "that these two were not going to back down." So they were offered a choice: Each could accept a $10,000 voucher toward the purchase of a new vehicle, a trip for two to Las Vegas, and a $1,000 high-tech mattress on which to catch up on much-needed sleep. Otherwise, they'd have to keep going and the winner would get the truck, but the loser would receive nothing. Both opted for the gift pack and went home happy. No word, however, on whether anyone else wants that truck now. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

President Joe Biden addressed reporters from the White House Sunday afternoon after meeting with his homeland security team in the Situation Room, calling for a “thorough and swift” review of the security situation at the rally where former President Donald Trump was almost assassinated.
“I’ve instructed that this investigation be thorough and swift, and the investigators will have every resource they need to get this done,” Biden said. “I’ve directed an independent review of national security at yesterday’s rally to assess exactly what happened and we’ll share the results of that independent review with the American people.”
Biden cautioned not to make assumptions about the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, until an investigation is completed, claiming that motives are still unknown.
Joe Biden’s remarks on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump after a briefing in the Situation Room:
“Unity is the most elusive goal of all… We will debate and we’ll disagree. That’s not going to change, but we’re going to not lose sight of who we are as Americans.” pic.twitter.com/ljCFYP0igy
— Kassy Akiva (@KassyDillon) July 14, 2024
“The assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation,” Biden added. “Unity is the most elusive goal of all, and nothing is more important than that right now. Unity. We will debate and we’ll disagree. That’s not going to change, but we’re going to not lose sight of who we are as Americans.”
Biden confirmed that he spoke to Donald Trump last night
“Last night I spoke with Donald Trump. I am sincerely grateful that he is doing well and recovering and we had a short but good conversation,” Biden said. “Jill and I are keeping him and his family in our prayers.”
Biden also gave his condolences to the family of 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, the victim who was killed while trying to protect his wife and daughters when the first shots rang out.
“We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who was killed. He was a father. He was protecting his family from the bullets that were being fired and he lost his life. God love him.”
In addition to a security review, Biden said he called on the Security Service to ensure security is adequate for the Republican National Convention taking place this week.
Biden added that he will address the nation Sunday from the Oval Office at 8 p.m. ET.
“We must unite as one nation to demonstrate who we are,” Biden concluded. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
HOW DOES A
BIO- FIREPLACE WORK?
INFIRE fireplaces allow you to enjoy the magic of real fire in places where it was previously impossible. Are you wondering how bio-ethanol fireplaces work? Watch our video.
Bio Fireplace - How does it work?
Bio-fireplaces or Bio-Ethanol fireplaces using ecological fuel, are powered by liquid fuel - bioethanol. It is an alcohol-based fuel that burns almost completely and odorlessly. The only products in this reaction are small amounts of carbon dioxide and water vapor. You pour biofuel into a special fireplace insert, safely ignite the liquid in the fireplace with a firelighter and enjoy the magic of fire, depending on the type of bio fireplace, for up to 5 hours. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The work 'portfolio' is thought to be derived from the Italian 'portare' meaning ‘carry’ and 'foglio' menaing ‘leaf’. In this sense, a portfolio is a large, thin, portable case used to store and carry drawings, paintings and other loose papers. It usually comprises two identical halves, usually made of plastic or leather, that are zipped together. A handle ensures it can be easily carried around. In size, portfolios as cases can range from A1 to A4.
However, the term portfolio can also be used more widely to refer to a collection:
- A student of architecture or qualified architect may be asked to bring their portfolio of work to a job interview. The portfolio will usually include a selection of drawings or projects completed by the applicant over a period of time which represents their design skills and abilities. Or, a writer or journalist may be asked to show a portfolio of their writings and articles.
- In another sense, the term portfolio can be used to signify a grouping of financial assets held by an investor. Their portfolio may comprise shares, stocks, currencies or bonds, or all of them.
- Alternatively, a rental landlord may have a portfolio of properties, a developer may have a portfolio of projects and so on.
- The Green Book, Central Government Guidance On Appraisal And Evaluation, Published by HM Treasury in 2020, suggests that a portfolio: ‘is a collection of programmes and/or projects it may be used to structure and manage investments at an organisational or functional level to optimise strategic benefits and/or operational efficiency.’ For more information see: Portfolio management.

LOCAL CHARITY AND COMMUNITY GROUPS
Dumfries & Galloway
Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway
Christmas Tractor and Truck Run is a festive event where participants decorate their vehicles with holiday lights and decorations, this is to raise funds for Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary for neonatal care.
Participants parade through the communities, spreading holiday cheer and showcasing their creativity, while also encouraging community spirit and participation. Events often conclude with activities like food drives, gatherings, or entertainment, making it a beloved tradition in many areas during the holiday season.
The event was organised by Ryan and Becky Muir, whose daughter was born nine weeks early in 2015. The couple were taken to hospital in Glasgow to receive the care they needed.
Last year's tractor run, 2023 was the biggest one so far, having raised double the funds of the year before event.
Over two hundred luminous tractors and lorries lit up the roads of Dumfries and Galloway for the third annual Christmas Tractor and Truck run.
Over £15,000 was raised by the event to go towards equipment and training at the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary for neonatal care. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

First fully AI-generated drug enters clinical trials
The first drug fully discovered and designed by artificial intelligence (AI) has entered clinical trials with human patients this week.
Insilico Medicine, a biotech startup that has received over $400 million in funding, announced that they have successfully administered the first dose of their drug, INS018_055, to patients in the Phase II clinical trial.
The drug is an anti-fibrotic small molecule inhibitor used in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a condition marked by scarring in the lungs and difficulty breathing. While there are other drugs on the market for this condition, INS018_055 is first-in-class, meaning the mechanisms through which it treats IPF differs from what’s currently on the market.
“With demonstrated potential against both fibrosis and inflammation, INS018_055 could offer another option for patients worldwide,” said Feng Ren, PhD, co-CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of Insilico Medicine in the announcment. “The achievement of the first dose for INS018_055 in the Phase II clinical trial is not only an important step for Insilico, but also a milestone for AI-driven drug discovery and development. Together, we are expecting more achievements powered by AI for global unmet medical needs.”
Pioneers of drug discovery through generative AI
“When this company was launched, we were focused on algorithms — developing the technology that could discover and design new molecules,” Zhavoronkov explained. “I never imagined in those early days that I would be taking my own AI drugs into clinical trials with patients. But we realized that in order to validate our AI platform, we needed to not only design a new drug for a new target, but bring it into clinical trials to prove that our technology worked.”
Insilico has developed and validated various methodologies and functionalities for its generative adversarial network (GAN)-based AI platform. These advancements have been successfully integrated into the commercially accessible Pharma.AI platform, a “drug discovery engine” that can be used to “discover signatures of diseases and identify the most promising targets for billions of molecules that already exist or can be generated.”
Currently, the company has successfully nominated 12 preclinical candidates for internal drug development programs since 2021. Notably, three of these candidates have progressed into human clinical trials, demonstrating the platform’s potential in accelerating the journey from discovery to clinical evaluation.
“When we started developing generative AI for drug discovery, I never expected to see the clinical and preclinical results we have today,” said Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, Founder and co-CEO of Insilico Medicine said in the announcement.
“Initiating Phase II trials with this novel inhibitor for IPF represents a major milestone for deep generative reinforcement learning in drug discovery. We will explore the efficacy for patients of AI-discovered and designed treatments in clinical trials, which is a true validation of our generative AI platform. We are eager to continue to advance this potentially first-in-class therapy forward to help patients in need and show the value of generative AI in drug discovery and development.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I work on environmental issues, especially the human dimensions of climate change including climate impacts, adaptation, and justice.
I live in Tucson, Arizona, and recently retired as a Regents Professor at the University of Arizona, School of Geography, Development, and Environment.
I am still active in research - especially on climate governance and justice - and volunteer with several climate action groups but I am no longer accepting new grad students or postdocs. I am happy that the Geography department at the University of Arizona has lots of amazing environmental scholars and students.
I also hold a. Research Fellowship at Linacre College, Oxford University where I am the former director of the Environmental Change Institute. I was born in Ghana, and grew up in England.
I study global environmental change, earth systems, and climate justice, especially the social causes and consequences of climate change. More specifically I have worked over the years on climate vulnerability and adaptation, carbon offsets, US-Mexico border environments, planetary boundaries, political ecology, and women in climate change.
I helped to build interdisciplinary environmental programs at the University of Arizona, Oxford University, Penn State University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison including directing the Institute of the Environment at the University of Arizona and the Environmental Change Institute at Oxford University. I was a PhD student and postdoc at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Colorado (working with Steve Schneider) and received my degrees from UCLA (PhD Geography), University of Toronto (MA Geography) and University College London (BA Geography).
I have been fortunate to lead and serve with a number of national and international projects and committees including the Earth Commission of Future Earth, the US-NRC Committee on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, the US-NRC panel on Informing America’s Climate Choices, the scientific advisory committee for the InterAmerican Institute (IAI) and the ICSU Global Environmental Change and Food Systems (GECAFS) project. I have been an IPCC lead author for several assessments including the 2018 Special Report on 1.5C and a review editor for the 2022 Sixth Assessment Working Group 2. I have also worked on the US National Climate Assessment.
I sit on the board of Julie's Bicycle - an NGO focused on climate change and the cultural sector including art and music - and I am on the coordinating committee for Third Act Arizona - a group motivating seniors for climate action. I am a coordinating lead author for the North American Biodiversity and Climate Assessment. I also sit on the Mayor of Tucson's advisory committee on climate change. I volunteer with the Casa Alitas migrant shelter and as a docent at Reid Park Zoo.
In 2020 I was honored to be elected to the US National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2022 as a fellow of the British Academy.
This web site provides links to my writings – books, articles, media – as well as information on my research interests and projects and the organizations I advise or support. I have supervised more than 70 graduate students who have inspired me.
The best way to contact me is by email at email@example.com although like many of you I sometimes get overwhelmed by my email and get behind in my responses
In consultation with Native American scholars the University of Arizona adopted an acknowledgment that states "We respectfully acknowledge the University of Arizona is on the land and territories of Indigenous peoples. Today, Arizona is home to 22 federally recognized tribes, with Tucson being home to the O'odham and the Yaqui. Committed to diversity and inclusion, the University strives to build sustainable relationships with sovereign Native Nations and Indigenous communities through education offerings, partnerships, and community service." I do my best to be an ally to Indigenous colleagues and communities. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Digi leads industry dialogue on sustainability as key driver for SME growth
By Digital News Asia September 18, 2019
- Critical to embed responsible business practices as the core of any business strategy
- Changing business environment has put more demand on businesses to act responsibly
DIGI Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (Digi) organised its annual Sustainability Day on Sept 17 with a focus on the importance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to incorporate sustainable business practices as part of their strategy for growth.
The changing business environment and stakeholder expectations have put more demands on businesses today to act responsibly, and studies have shown that customers and partners across the value chain prefer to purchase from and work with sustainable businesses.
This shows a strong need for companies to reflect on how they operate, and make sustainability a central part of their business strategy from practicing the highest standards of governance, ethics and integrity, data privacy, establishing an inclusive workplace, to building a compliant supply chain while minimising their environmental footprint.
Digi chief corporate affairs officer, Joachim Rajaram said that it is critical to embed responsible business practices as the core of any business strategy.
“Digi has put in place a holistic framework to ensure that we act and instil responsible behaviour in our business and across our value chain. This is also part of our commitment to reduce inequalities within our communities, and work closely with stakeholders to continuously improve our responsible way of work.”
While most companies recognise the importance of implementing sustainable and responsible practices into their business, there is often the uncertainty of where to begin.
According to Digi’s chair of the board of directors and Telenor senior vice president, Håkon Bruaset Kjøl, this is where large companies such as Digi, whose responsible business practices continue to maximise the positive impact of its business, should come together to share how small businesses can accelerate sustainable development.
“Having full commitment from top management who could play an active role in sustainability will be critical for a sustainable business ecosystem to thrive in. As the leaders of their companies, the management needs to make sure that its business framework and the sustainability efforts are aligned, and the strategy that they have is effectively executed. On top of that, we also believe that collaboration between large corporations and small businesses, especially those part of their supply chain, is a key means of raising the standard on sustainable business,” Håkon added.
Strategic focus on sustainability and the workplace
Digi Sustainability Day is organised in collaboration with Business Council for Sustainable Development Malaysia (BCSD), Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM), Telenor Group and Unicef.
The main highlight of the day were two panel forums which saw a mix of panellists from the MNCs, industry bodies, NGOs, consultants, media companies and banking sectors.
The opening panel discussion saw a panel made up of representatives from Telenor Group, KPMG Malaysia, CIMB Bank Bhd and Unilever discussing on the importance of running a sustainable business for future growth and how SMEs can start on the sustainability journey.
The Understanding the Future Workforce panel consisted of representatives from Google Malaysia, Malaysian Bar Child Rights Advocate; Unicef and Multimedia Development Corporation (MDEC), discussing on understanding and engaging Gen Z, the next generation of workforce and the challenges, opportunities and expectations facing this new, digitally dependent workforce.
There were also several sharing sessions by Digi employees on the different key areas in driving a sustainable business such as integrity and ethics, digital privacy, digitalising businesses, and supply chain, among others.
Booths showcasing Digi’s various digital solutions were also featured at the event alongside booths by Digi’s sustainability partners such as Unicef, Business Council for Sustainable Development in Malaysia (BCSDM) and Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM).

Neem for Dog Lice
I've read here that Neem is effective on biting and chewing insects, so that may apply to dog lice. I have in the past made a neem shampoo using regular dog shampoo with 1 ounce per gallon of Neem oil. I would think the shampoo would emulsify the Neem oil, but I also use a bit of dish detergent to mix first before adding to the shampoo.
Is Neem oil also effective as a wash for baseboards or concrete where lice might hide in corners. If so, what percentage? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Life-Changing Impact of Chiropractic Care: How It Can Transform Your Health and Well-being
Hello, I'm Dr. Rory Dopps from Dopps Chiropractic in Overland Park, Kansas. Many people seek chiropractic care as a last resort when they're experiencing pain or discomfort. However, they often find that chiropractic care not only relieves their pain but also has life-changing benefits. In this blog, we'll explore how chiropractic care can have a transformative impact on your health and well-being.
Pain relief: One of the most significant life-changing benefits of chiropractic care is the relief from pain and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pain from various conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more. With less pain, you can enjoy a more active and fulfilling life.
Improved mobility and flexibility: Chiropractic care can help improve your range of motion and flexibility, allowing you to move more freely and participate in activities you may have previously avoided due to pain or stiffness.
Better posture: Regular chiropractic adjustments can help correct posture imbalances and alleviate the strain on your spine and muscles. Improved posture can lead to reduced pain, increased confidence, and better overall health.
Stress reduction: Chiropractic care can help reduce stress by addressing the underlying causes of tension and discomfort in the body. Adjustments can also help improve nervous system function, leading to a greater sense of relaxation and well-being.
Enhanced sleep quality: Many patients report improved sleep quality after receiving chiropractic care, as adjustments can help alleviate pain and promote relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.
Boosted immune function: Chiropractic care can help support a healthy immune system by improving the function of the nervous system, which plays a crucial role in regulating the body's immune response.
Increased energy and vitality: With reduced pain, improved mobility, and enhanced overall well-being, many patients experience increased energy levels and a renewed sense of vitality after incorporating chiropractic care into their lives.
In conclusion, chiropractic care can have a life-changing impact on your health and well-being by addressing the root causes of pain and discomfort, improving mobility and flexibility, and promoting overall wellness. If you're ready to experience the transformative benefits of chiropractic care, consider scheduling an appointment with a chiropractor like myself.

I'm still getting a good read through this PDF, & the main reason for that being that so much of it is difficult to read. Much of the vital information is written in very tiny, very thin, very pale grey serif fonts that blend in with the beige background. It's definitely a stylistic choice, but a stylistic choice that sacrifices accessibility to achieve that style.
There is, however, the occasional color coding in the PDF that can help make certain points stand out very clearly. I hope more of that is seen in future updates to this game, as it really has a lot of interesting takes on mechanics I haven't seen anywhere else in the heroic fantasy genre. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Durbin Urges Trump-Devos Department Of Education To Stop Embracing Predatory For-Profit College Industry
For-profit colleges continue to collapse as students and taxpayers suffer
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) today slammed the Department of Education’s repeated embrace of the for-profit college industry, and urged the Department to take action to help thousands of defrauded students in Illinois and across the country. In a speech on the Senate floor, Durbin highlighted the continued upheaval in the for-profit college industry with the closures of Vatterott Colleges, Education Corporation of America, and Dream Center Education Holdings – and state settlement with Career Education Corporation (CEC).
“The rot in [the for-profit college] industry runs much deeper than just Corinthian and ITT Tech…How many more for-profit college collapses, closures, and state legal actions will it take before we get serious at the federal level—both in Congress and at the Department of Education—about protecting students and taxpayers from this industry?” Durbin said.
Video of Durbin’s remarks on the Senate floor are available here.
Audio of Durbin’s remarks on the Senate floor is available here.
Earlier this month, 48 state Attorneys General—including Illinois’ Lisa Madigan—and the District of Columbia reached a settlement with for-profit giant CEC over consumer violations by the company. Under the settlement, CEC agreed to forgo collecting $493.7 million owed to it by nearly 180,000 students nationally—$48 million in relief for 17,000 students in Illinois. Durbin has long spoken out about the abuses and misconduct of CEC, especially its infamous and now defunct Le Cordon Bleu, Harrington College of Design, and Sanford-Brown brands.
The for-profit college industry enrolls just nine percent of all post-secondary students, but accounts for 34 percent of all federal student loan defaults. In the last five years, nearly every major for-profit college has been investigated or sued by one or more state attorney general and federal agency for unfair, deceptive, and abusive practices. And yet, the Trump-DeVos Department of Education has begun to unwind the unit tasked with investigation fraud at for-profit colleges and universities and is attempting to repeal the Borrower Defense and Gainful Employment rules.
In December, the Department of Education’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) released its semi-annual report to Congress where retiring Inspector General (IG) Kathleen Tighe raised the alarm on for-profit colleges. In the report, IG Tighe noted, “We disagreed with the Department’s proposed elimination of the gainful employment regulations without an adequate replacement to ensure accountability. My predecessors and I have testified before Congress on issues involving proprietary schools over the years, and the sector continues to be a high-risk area for the Department. OIG resources devoted to post-secondary school investigations continue to be disproportionately devoted to fraud and abuse in the proprietary sector. The sector also represents a disproportionate share of student loan defaults. In addition, findings of misrepresentation of job placement rates and guaranteed employment by Corinthian Colleges and other schools provide a clear demonstration of the need for particular accountability.” The full report can be found here.

Ealing Elections 2010 |
Who will be your next MP?
So, after the long wait, the date's finally been set. On May 6th we go to the polls to vote for both local and parliamentary representatives Ealing has 3 seats up for grabs - nationally all eyes will be on the new one of Ealing Central and Acton. Ealing Central and Acton This new seat succeeds Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush. With significant boundary changes, Ealing Central and Acton will also inherit the east of the Ealing Southall constituency. Labour took Ealing, Acton and Shepherd's Bush in 1997 and held it in 2001 with the current MP, Andrew Slaughter, being elected for Labour in 2005. Candidates are: Jon Ball: Liberal Democrat, Angie Bray: Conservative, Tim Carpenter: Libertarian, Sarah Edwards: Green , Bassam Mahfouz: Labour This is Conservative target seat number 18 and Liberal Democrat target seat number 10 Ealing North Ealing North was Labour from 1964 until 1979, when it became Conservative and remained so for four successive governments. In 1997, Stephen Pound MP won the seat for Labour by a majority of more than 9,000. He held onto it in 2001 and 2005, although with a reduced majority. Boundary changes mean the seat has gained part of Greenford from Ealing Southall and lost large parts of Ealing Broadway and Hangar Hill wards to the new seat of Ealing Central and Acton. Candidates are Ian Gibb: Conservative, Chris Lucas: Liberal Democrats, Stephen Pound: Labour Christopher Warleigh-Lack: Green Ealing Southall Labour MPs have represented the area for more than 50 years. In 1992, Piara Khabra became the first Asian MP to represent the community, and held onto the seat until his death in June 2007. In the by-election the following month, Virendra Sharma retained the seat for Labour, though with a majority reduced by 14%. Boundary changes have moved Ealing Broadway, Walpole, and Ealing Common wards to the new Ealing Central and Acton seat, while Hobbayne and Greenford Broadway wards are now within Ealing North's boundaries. Candidates are Nigel Bakhai: Liberal Democrats, Suni Basu: Green, Sati Chaggar: English Democrats, Virendra Sharma: Labour, Gurcharan Singh: Conservative April 7th, 2010 | | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A Perfect Ascot Week
It is not often in England that we are favoured with such a week of glorious weather as we were favoured with for Ascot, and the attendance and the frocks, therefore, at the famous meeting were, of course, even greater and more noticeable than usual. I must confess I enjoyed Ascot, or rather Ascot week, immensely. The garden-party meeting is such a splendid excuse for delightful house – parties, which necessitate a whole week’s absence from London. There is so little strain on one to know which horse is going to win, for at Ascot, of course, everyone knows that the favourite is a certainty (except when there are Bachelor’s Buttons and the like knocking out such national favourites as Pretty Polly), and, altogether, Ascot is such a thing of beauty that it seems just a little more of a joy each year.
Most of the dresses, not embroidered with flowers which put Nature to shame, were inset, or incrusted, or whatever they call it, with lovely Irish lace, and judging by the quantity of this latter to be seen, I should think Ireland ought to be making a pretty penny by its manufacture. Gorgeous geranium pinks and emerald greens contrasted with the French gowns of black lace and smoke-grey worn by some of the most elegantly dressed women, while the white linens and muslins worn on the previous days were conspicuous by their absence. The King was looking simply full of health and spirits every day—and how lively and well he is looking.
The Blots on the Picture
The men, of course, as usual, had the distinction of throwing up, by their sombre attire, the fairy-like garb of the women. Few followed the King’s example by indulging in a while or grey high hat, and so they just suffered in dark frock coats and high hats, sustained only by the thought of their heroism, and borrowing sometimes the tiny fans which all the women carried. On Thursday, there was, to everyone’s relief, very little sun, though this did not deter the feminine portion from proving to the world that they had with them the very latest cry in petal-like sunshades, or Lord Rosebery from clinging to his blue glasses. So far as I could make out, there were no girls present on Cup Day! At last, only a stray one here and there, and even these were so submerged, as it were, by the flaunting magnificence of their married sisters, that they were scarcely noticeable. Most of the women, beautiful and elegant and exquisitely turned out as they were, looked what one might call experienced, and certainly none of the shy gaucherie of youth was to the fore. All the clubs, of course, dispensed hospitality right and left, the Ladies’ Army and Navy being not the least among them.

Suppose you are involved in a Cordys project with a good amount of detailed business logic to be developed in WS-AppServer, UI development, and data storage in some RDBMS and/or External Information System. You will need to come up with the database model (relational modeling), the domain model (OO modeling), UI’s, etc, typically resulting in 3 main categories of WS-AppServer classes. Let’s take a next perspective, and depict a layered organization of these classes as per class instances. At the same time, lets include quite a number of possible combinations on how the data for a certain class instance is collected with help of other classes or RDBMS/EIS.
Not every project will need this much layers and combination of classes, however the above picture will illustrate you the subject of this blog post. It gives a runtime view; the design view with inheritance, association and composition is quite a different view, and not relevant here.
Class instances in WS-AppServer are so called BusObjects. BusObjects which directly map to a database table are called StateBusObjects; transient instances are called CustomBusObjects. A CustomBusObject which has no corresponding class definition in the WS-AppServer Repository is called an AnonymousBusObject.
Notice a BusObject in the Business layer or UI layer possibly can be directly derived from the data in the database in case the structure happens to be 1 to 1.
As the Cordys platform is very much XML-based, this approach is also visible in WS-AppServer, where the object data inside the BusObject is represented as an XML document. Apart from the fact this integrates well into the Cordys ESB, it also gives advantages in the subject of BusObject mapping, as mapping on the XML layer handles more smoothly as compared to mapping with help of native object properties.
Mappings can be bi-directional: one direction to collect the data and the other direction to update the data. Next are scenario’s of BusObject mapping:
- When querying a record from the DB, the XQY layer returns an XML data structure. It needs to be mapped to the structure of the WS-AppServer class definition. Possible situations:
- 1 to 1 mapping
- The class name is different from the table name, and so to be mapped.
- One or more attributes do have names different from the column names.
- Table/column names are in upper case, whereas the class definition uses camel case, and so to be mapped.
- The resulting structure from the DB query is nested, but the class definition is flat.
- The class definition only has a subset of data elements as compared to the DB query result.
- A domain object like a Claim needs to have its data collected and mapped from claim business data in EIS and claim process data in the RDBMS. Subsequently, several UI objects needs to get there data from the Claim object, where those UI objects can have different structures as per the user role perspective (claim handler, approver, financial controller, fraud investigator, etc), or as per the claim process step in the BPM.
Notice the ‘intermediate’ role of the Claim domain class here as between the backend structures and the UI structures.
In the next 2 articles, we will subsequently dive into more details wrt these 2 scenario’s as to see what facilities WS-AppServer offer us to support these mappings. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

On August 13, 2024, there was a major fire department emergency at the local swimming pool in Neumarkt, near Bolzano (South Tyrol). Due to a mistake during the filling of a tank with chemicals, the swimming pool had to be evacuated immediately, the surrounding area cordoned off and appropriate rescue measures initiated.
The incident was noticed by the operator, who had noticed a smell of gas. During water treatment in the technical rooms of the swimming pool, chemicals had probably been mixed, resulting in the formation of chlorine vapors. The vapors caused severe irritation to bathers and staff.
When the Bolzano professional fire department's chemical response team was alerted, one of our water mist turbines on a vehicle was also deployed to combat the formation of chlorine vapors and thus contain the escape of chlorine. Hazardous goods operations in chemical industries and refineries can pose a considerable risk to employees, residents and rescue services. EmiControls turbines are particularly suitable for this application due to their high proven efficiency in suppressing pollutants. Chemicals in the air are effectively bound by water mist and prevented from spreading in the air.
After the operation, the affected rooms were ventilated and the mixed substance was pumped into special containers by the fire department and a specialist company. The Neumarkt volunteer fire department, the decontamination team from the Auer volunteer fire department, the White Cross, the Pelikan 1 emergency helicopter, the authorities and representatives of the Office for Air and Environmental Protection were also involved in the operation.
All of the 12 people who suffered mild to severe poisoning as a result of the chemical spill are in good health and have since been discharged from hospital in Bolzano. No one suffered life-threatening injuries. Thanks to the quick reaction and intervention of the people on site and the emergency services, it was fortunately possible to prevent worse.

Timeless elegance with an organic contemporary twist. Handcrafted fine jewellery as unique as you are, to be enjoyed today and become an heirloom of tomorrow.
Sustainability is a word thrown around in the industry and the true meaning has been diluted. Nothing crafted can be truly sustainable, however in a world of throwaway fast fashion, I value quality and take an intentional and minimalist approach to consumerism, buying less, buying with intention, and consuming mindfully. These values are echoed throughout the business, from running the workshop to sourcing materials and packaging.
All jewellery is made of recycled silver and gold, always solid and never plated. This reduces the number of chemicals in the making process and guarantees it will stand the test of time, to be handed down through the generations, collecting memories with each custodian.
All jewellery comes beautifully gift-wrapped, from the beautiful letterpress stationery to the wildflower thank you cards every element is considered. Presentation boxes and gift bags are FSC-approved, and bespoke orders are presented in a sustainable wooden box, beautifully handcrafted from a single piece of walnut.
I can't express how beautiful this ring is! Emily's communication throughout was outstanding and all the small touches mean the world to me, I love being able to shop locally and it's even better when small businesses are ethically responsible, all the packaging is compostable and the is wildflowers so I can plant it and associate it my beautiful wedding ring.
Emily gave me lots of ideas when designing my eternity ring and designed it to not only fit around my current engagement ring but also ensured it would look good when worn with the engagement ring and wedding ring. She also gave me a few different budget options and kept me updated on progress and expected delivery date. The end result is exquisite. I'm so glad I went with an independent jeweller as I now have something completely unique that is of a very high quality.
Perfect! This ring is just what I was looking for: a good width and beautifully made. Emily responded to all my messages very quickly, and helpfully sent me several copper test rings in different sizes so I could ensure I ordered the right size. The ring I bought arrived beautifully packaged and fits perfectly. I am very happy! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Lia Light is an organization that facilitates the work and disseminates the teachings of Lia Shapiro, a UFO contactee who claims communications from the Pleiades. She was born the daughter of an atheist Jewish father and Southern Baptist mother. As a child, in the 1950s, she had had a vision of an intense light which visited her son. Then in 1982, she had a born again experience and became an Evangelical Christian.
Finally, in 1994, while in Japan teaching English classes, Shapiro met a Japanese woman who told her that she had a great mission in her life. The woman turned out to be part of a Japanese New Age group with which she began to associate. They encouraged her to listen to her inner voice and to write down what she received. Then one day in 1995, while sitting at her computer, the words began to flow freely. The messages that she typed turned out to be communications from beings that claimed to be Pleiadians. She passed copies of the channeled messages to her Japanese friends, who encouraged her to continue. She also began to see herself as a Starseed, an extraterrestrial incarnated in a human body. She related this idea to a myth reported among the Cherokee people that they originated from the Pleiades.
The experience of channeling from the Pleiadians put Shapiro's life in perspective, from her childhood experience with the Light. She believes that the Pleiadians are here to enlighten humankind and lead people toward their destiny in the Light. Humans will come to know who they really are as Light beings.

Alibaba’s Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Fund Announces Investments in Three Rising Hong Kong Companies
September 29, 2016 |
Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund |
Hong Kong, September 29, 2016
Hong Kong, September 29, 2016 – The Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Fund (the “Fund”), a not-for-profit initiative of Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA), announced today the investments in three rising companies based in the city. This is the second round of investments made into exciting early staged companies since the Fund was established in November 2015.
The three companies selected to receive minority investments are Grana, a fashion e-commerce retailer that offers wardrobe essentials created from quality fabrics sourced around the world, with the mission to offer genuine quality clothing accessible to everyone; NOSH, an O2O food delivery company that prepares and delivers fresh, ready-to-eat meals that are each under 550 calories and packed in biodegradable materials, catering to health-conscious, eco-friendly consumers; DayDayCook, a leading creator of food and lifestyle content in Asia, which produces bilingual cooking videos with recipes and step-by-step instructions for a wide range of cuisines.
At different stages of development, the three companies have managed in a short time to establish a substantial local operation and reached the point of looking for early-stage investment.
Mrs. Cindy Chow, executive director of the Fund, commented: “Over the past few months, we are thrilled to discover and get in touch with so many talented and visionary entrepreneurs who are starting their businesses in Hong Kong. The three selected companies in this round impressed us particularly with their unique value propositions, innovative business models, growth potential and their team members’ entrepreneurship.”
“We are also excited to see that Hong Kong has become an increasingly attractive city for global talents to start their businesses,” added Ms. Chow, “That’s why we see entrepreneurs, like the founders from Grana and NOSH, choose Hong Kong as the hub to launch their businesses and realize their startup dreams. Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund is committed to supporting the healthy growth of Hong Kong’s startup ecosystem with our local partners.”
The Fund, fully managed and run by the Alibaba Group, was established with a mandate to engage with the startup community in Hong Kong and select companies that stand out in terms of innovation and unique value proposition for direct investment. As well as supporting and developing entrepreneurship, the Fund seeks those who would most benefit from the resources offered by Alibaba’s ecosystem in e-commerce, logistics, mobile platforms, cloud computing and financial services. With the fund’s investment, aspiring entrepreneurs from around the world can establish their foothold in Hong Kong and make use of the Alibaba platform to scale up their operations both in Hong Kong and in the world.
Luke Grana, CEO and Founder of GRANA said: “Our success is a testament to the amazing and talented in-house team, who have dedicated themselves to making quality products and creating a brand that drives so much word-of-mouth and online advocacy for us. We’re honored to have Alibaba as a lead investor and the continued support from existing investors as strategic partners.”
Maximilian von Poelnitz, Founder of NOSH, said: "The partnership with Alibaba gives NOSH access to world class inventory management software, logistics best practices, and a venture capital investor that can help with fund raising in the future. With Alibaba we will be able to scale up our already thriving business both in Hong Kong and abroad.”
Norma Chu, Founder of DayDayCook, said: “DayDayCook specialises in content creation. Lifestyle and products are seamlessly blended into our content and with Alibaba’s investment, there are significant synergies from data analytics to stock keeping unit expansion to traffic support. This marks an important milestone for DayDayCook's expansion into content e-commerce.”
This is the second batch of investment from the Fund, with the first round having taken place in May 2016 when the Fund invested in YEECHOO, Shopline and GoGoVan. Since its establishment, the Fund has received more than 500 applications from entrepreneurs whose companies are in different stages of development but all with their roots in Hong Kong. After this latest success, the Fund will continue with its mission to look for, and engage with, promising entrepreneurs both in Hong Kong and those based overseas who are interested in setting up and growing their company operations in the city.

What is the name of the genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21?
A. Turner syndrome
B. Klinefelter syndrome
C. Down syndrome
D. Huntington's disease
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. It is also known as trisomy 21, because affected individuals have three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the normal two.
The extra chromosome 21 in Down syndrome occurs due to a random error in cell division, which leads to the production of an abnormal gamete (egg or sperm) with an extra copy of the chromosome. When this gamete fuses with a normal gamete during fertilization, the resulting zygote has 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46, and develops into a fetus with Down syndrome.
Down syndrome is characterized by a range of physical and intellectual symptoms, including developmental delays, intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, heart defects, and increased risk of certain medical conditions such as leukemia and Alzheimer's disease. However, the severity and expression of these symptoms can vary widely among affected individuals.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is C. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Acquisition of the Netherlands’ leading VAD creates new force in cybersecurity, wireless and datacentre solutions
PARIS, FRANCE & SON, THE NETHERLANDS – January 18th 2017 – Exclusive Group, the value-added services and technologies (VAST) group, today announced its acquisition of Netherlands HQ’d VAD, TechAccess. The acquisition grows the combined Benelux operation to over 150 staff at offices in Son and Amersfoort (the Netherlands), and Antwerp (Belgium). And with a vendor portfolio and value ethic matching that of Exclusive, the deal boosts the Group’s position in the region and continues the successful transaction formula that has seen it become one of the industry’s fastest growing distributors worldwide.

A little over 10 years ago, Charlie Glass made a presentation to the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Assn. in which he predicted that by 2013 fewer than 50,000 farms would produce 80% of all the nation's farm commodities. He also projected that fewer than 2,000 mainline farm equipment dealerships would exist in the U.S.
During our conversations with him as we prepared the special report on alternative distribution channels (see pp. 14-31), we revisited his comments from 2003. Since USDA hasn't released all of its 2012 census data yet, it's not yet known if his forecast for the number of farms was on the money, but he points out that in 2007 the number of farms producing 80% of farm commodities had dropped to 80,000 and was still declining.
We do know that his forecast for fewer mainline dealerships was too aggressive. Looking back, Glass says his outlook was largely based on the clear trend toward rapid consolidation at the time. He also recalls attending a meeting with John Deere dealers, most of who were owners of single stores.
He says a Deere bigwig at the podium told the attending dealers to look to their right and look to their left. Then he declared that two of every three dealers at that meeting would not be around in the not-too-distant future. In fact, Glass recalls that Deere exec stating that the goal was for every John Deere dealer to own and operate 3 store locations.
Nearly every dealer reading this magazine knows that 2003 was an entirely different era from today. There are certainly more than 2,000 mainline dealerships. We estimate the total number of North American mainline farm equipment dealer locations at 5,500, down 1,500 from 2005. Today, nearly 200 dealer groups own 5 or more stores, with Deere dealers making up more than one-half of the dealer groups operating 5 stores or more.
There are also an estimated 1,500 independent farm equipment dealerships operating in the U.S. and Canada, for a total of 7,000 dealerships with more than 4,000 operator-owners.
To get a better handle on the numbers, a few years ago Farm Equipment added an additional category to our BPA-audited circulation forms. In addition to each of the 5 major brands, qualifying dealers can self-report as "shortlines only." These are dealers who do not carry any one of the 5 equipment full-line manufacturers.
A review of our 2014 circulation, which is audited by an independent firm, shows a total of 1,048 of Farm Equipment dealer personnel reported their companies as shortline-only dealers. This figure is up by 26% (from 831) in 2011.
What's it all mean? It means that dealers are sensing that a vacuum is developing as the majors continue to force shortline equipment off of their dealers' lots. And as the old idiom goes: Nature abhors a vacuum. If there is a gap, something or someone will fill it.
If independent risk takers sense an opportunity to make some money, they'll always figure out a way to exploit it. As a result, dealers who yield to their major's wishes and/or demands to dump their shortlines may be creating new competition for the farmers' equipment dollars, and in the process get an unfortunate lesson in the law of unintended consequences. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

XL Bully Breed - Update On The Current Situation
Following a concerning rise in attacks and fatalities caused by XL Bully dogs, the government has added this breed to the list of dogs banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
To help current owners adapt to the new laws, these changes will come into force in 2 stages.
From 31 December 2023 it will be against the law to:
- sell an XL Bully dog
- abandon an XL Bully dog
- give away an XL Bully dog
- breed from an XL Bully dog
- have an XL Bully in public without a lead and muzzle
From 1 February 2024 it will be a criminal offence to own an XL Bully in England and Wales unless you have a Certificate of Exemption for your dog.
You will need to adhere to strict rules such as microchipping your dog and keeping it on a lead and muzzled when in public.
You will also need to neuter your dog. If your dog is less than one-year-old on 31 January 2024, it must be neutered by 31 December 2024. If your dog is older than one-year-old on 31 January 2024, it must be neutered by 30 June 2024. We recommend that you arrange for your dog to be neutered as soon as possible to ensure that you meet these deadlines.
Alternatively, if you are an owner of an XL Bully, you may decide not to keep it, in which case you should take your dog to a registered vet to be humanely euthanised. There will be a government compensation scheme towards the cost of euthanasia if you choose this option.
To check if your dog is classed as an XL Bully, see the following link

Brendan Anderson: Radiant 3 Star Student
Brendan Anderson has been quite busy as a filmmaker and videographer since his apprenticeship at Radiant 3 in Atlanta, GA.
Primarily, Brendan does rap film videos in the Atlanta area, and gets paid to do it! He starts out with the treatment to a screenplay, negotiates a rate, meets with the client, come up with a budget, decides on equipment, locations, actors, etc., then shoots and edits the video for his clients.
Brendan is starting to work with some artists working with MTV Jams. Within five years, Brendan would like to see himself as a Colin Tilley of sorts–a big time film video director!
“It’s a lot of work and you can’t do this if you don’t have a passion for it,” he says.
Brendan says the Atlanta film community is growing substantially. He even made a short video for a local film contest at his website, www.andersonprods.net. Eventually, Brendan would like to writer thrillers or action movies similar to Taken with Liam Neeson. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Palm Coast – The small dog park at James F. Holland Memorial Park will be temporarily closed for improvements beginning Monday, April 8th, and is scheduled to reopen on Monday, April 22nd. These improvements are aimed at enhancing the overall experience for Palm Coast’s furry friends and their owners. Planned work will include:
- Replacing Sod: Parks staff will be addressing the worn grass areas by cutting out affected areas and re-sodding to provide a lush and comfortable environment for dogs to play.
- Adding Concrete: Special Projects will include adding a 4-foot apron around the northeast area of the pavilion to mitigate roof runoff erosion.
- Block Wall Installation: Special Projects will install a block wall along the northwest side of the pavilion to address roof runoff erosion.
- Irrigation Adjustments: Parks staff will handle the relocation of heads and repairs to ensure proper watering of the newly sodded areas.
During the improvement period, temporary fencing will be placed around newly sodded areas, allowing us to reopen the park in just 2 weeks instead of 6, minimizing inconvenience to residents.
We understand this closure may disrupt some residents’ park enjoyment. However, we encourage dog owners to visit the small dog park at the Lehigh Trailhead, 1290 Belle Terre Pkwy, which offers separate spaces for small and large dogs to play and socialize.
We appreciate residents’ patience and understanding as we work to improve the small dog park at James F. Holland Memorial Park.

Handed down from generation to generation this recipe has been a go to of mine for over 20 years and there's a tale that my grandfathers were using it in a very similar way many years ago on the farm. These USDA Organic Spices are blended to capture the traditional Southern North Carolina BBQ flavor that is known to sweet, salty, and slightly spicy hot. Three ounces is just enough for several racks of ribs or a 7 pound Boston Butt. Rub it on anything that you want to eat with your fingers just so you have something to lick clean when you are done. Perfect for ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and pork tenderloin. Some folks swear by saucing, but with this rub you won't need any sauce. When smoking I prefer to use apple, hickory, or pecan (preferred) chips. If you are cooking for the masses (or a whole pig) consider buying a one pound bag.

Turkish Airlines chief executive Temel Kotil is putting the focus on organic growth as the airline continues to revamp its network following a rapid expansion of its long-haul fleet.
The Turkish flag carrier has distanced itself from recent speculation linking it with interest in taking a 49% stake in fellow Star Alliance carrier Spanair, saying it had not met executives at the Spanish carrier and nor had its board made any decision on the subject. Kotil told Airline Business at the recent IATA annual general meeting in Singapore that the airline's preference is for organic growth rather than consolidation.
"We are not against consolidation, but consolidation is a multi-hub strategy, and that is the last thing you are supposed to be doing," he said, noting it makes sense in markets where carriers do not have the opportunity to keep growing on their own.
"We don't need to compromise because we are growing already. For us, organic growth and market share is the healthiest way [to grow], so we have the product," Kotil says, but he adds: "If there is a strategic move, if there is an obvious opportunity, we are there. Money is no problem: we have enough cash."
The airline's own rapid growth has continued apace. It grew rapidly and profitably through the recent economic crisis and Kotil expects it to continue to expand profitably this year. The Star Alliance airline expects to carry 34.8 million passengers this year, more than doubling the total in five years. Its expanded fleet will reach 184 by year end.
"We are the 25th largest carrier in terms of flights, but in terms of destinations we are the eighth largest," he says, pointing to the rapid expansion of its network. "Our network built up with the narrowbodies and making money from the short routes is the hardest thing," he says.
But much of its recent expansion has come in the long-haul segment. It now operates a mix of 35 Airbus A330s, A340s and Boeing 777 widebodies, and is refining its network to reflect the growing mix of long and short-haul routes.

These were great when I was younger!!!
Please remember that your loyal clients are aging! I now need a nice cushy metatarsal sandal with a strap over the top to ensure against falls in my home. The Balboa doesn't do it for me as well anymore. I'd love the Benefit in a fun black with iridescent colored shimmers, and the anti-microbial protection. Please, please! I don't want to go find another brand of shoe. Regular seasons don't apply to places in the southwest United States as much---some of us need to wear sandals year-round. And the Benefit Metatarsal is frequently out of stock when I need it! This sixty-something needs her Abeos!!
Ease of payment
All of my shoes are ABEO. They are exceptionally comfortable and they compensate for all of my foot problems. The metatarsal support is a life saver for me! I just wish you had PayPal as a payment option. Please add PayPal to your payment options. Thank you.
Like a cloud
I just received my 4th pair of Balboa's. I love these shoes! I am a size 5 and this size is difficult to find. The Balboa is one of the most comfortable sandal I've ever worn. My arches are high, so I went with the Metatarsal. The Balboa fits true to size. Like walking on clouds. I can't rave enough about them!!
Sadly metatarsal never have any 8s in stock when on sale
Would love these in all colors but my size are always out of stock on sales
Comfortable but stretch out
I absolutely love these sandals but I have to buy a new pair every season. I wear them almost everyday in the summer and they stretch out very easily especially if they get wet. I've tried other sandals but nothing seems to be as comfortable as these. The metatarsal pad is great for my plantar fasciitis. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Remember those chaotic school days, scrambling for lost assignments and deciphering cryptic teacher handwriting on report cards? We all crave a little order in the midst of life's chaos, especially when it comes to something as important as grades. Whether you're a meticulous student aiming for valedictorian or an educator juggling a classroom full of bright minds, keeping track of academic progress can feel like navigating a labyrinth.
Enter the world of student grade tracking – a system that's evolved from dog-eared notebooks and color-coded spreadsheets to sophisticated digital platforms. It's no longer just about assigning letters to tests and essays; it's about understanding the nuances of individual learning journeys. Just like that perfectly curated Instagram feed, a well-organized gradebook tells a story – a story of progress, challenges, and triumphs.
The evolution of grade tracking has been dramatic, reflecting broader shifts in education and technology. Remember those clunky desktop computers in the school library? Early attempts at digital gradebooks often felt like navigating those – cumbersome and far from intuitive. But just like our smartphones have become extensions of ourselves, grade tracking has become seamlessly integrated into the learning experience.
The importance of a robust grade tracking system cannot be overstated. For students, it's about taking ownership of their learning, setting goals, and understanding areas for improvement. For educators, it's about providing meaningful feedback, identifying learning gaps, and tailoring instruction to meet diverse needs. And let's be real – a well-organized gradebook can be a lifesaver during parent-teacher conferences.
However, just like any good relationship, the journey of grade tracking isn't without its bumps. From choosing the right system to ensuring data privacy and accuracy, there are challenges to navigate. One size doesn't fit all, and finding the right approach depends on individual needs and teaching styles. But fear not – with a little guidance and the right tools, mastering the art of student grade management is within reach.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Digital Grade Tracking
Advantages | Disadvantages |
Efficiency and Time-Saving | Technology Dependence and Potential Glitches |
Improved Accuracy and Reduced Errors | Data Privacy and Security Concerns |
Enhanced Communication with Students and Parents | Learning Curve for New Users |
Valuable Insights into Student Performance | Potential for Increased Workload if not Used Effectively |
Ready to transform your approach to grade tracking? Let's dive into some practical tips and best practices!
Best Practices for Effective Grade Management
1. Choose the Right System: Whether it's a simple spreadsheet, a dedicated app, or a comprehensive learning management system, select a tool that aligns with your needs and technical comfort level.
2. Establish Clear Grading Policies: Transparency is key! Clearly communicate your grading criteria, weighting of assignments, and late submission policies to students and parents from the outset.
3. Provide Regular and Meaningful Feedback: Go beyond simple letter grades. Offer specific comments, highlight areas of strength, and suggest areas for improvement to guide student learning effectively.
4. Use Technology to Your Advantage: Explore features like automated calculations, weighted grading, and progress reports to streamline your workflow and gain valuable insights.
5. Don't Be Afraid to Seek Support: Whether it's from colleagues, technology specialists, or online resources, reach out for help when you encounter challenges or need guidance.
Mastering the art of student grade management is an ongoing journey. Just like any skill worth having, it takes practice, patience, and a willingness to adapt. But with the right tools and strategies, you can transform the way you track, analyze, and communicate student progress, empowering both learners and educators along the way. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Jazz veteran Joe Ingles and his wife, former Australian netball star Renae Ingles, are now three years into their autism journey after their oldest son, Jacob, was diagnosed.
Joe and Renae know that Jacob will face challenges ahead, but they hope acceptance isn't one of them. They have teamed up with Kulture City so kids like Jacob, with an "invisible disability," can live their best life.
Their efforts have gotten the attention of Utah Governor Spencer Cox, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, and even the Salt Lake City Police Department.
The couple sat down with FOX 13's Kerri Cronk to talk about these efforts. Watch the video above for the full story! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
CHANTILLY, Va. - Fairfax County police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying two suspects who stole a female Maltipoo from a Chantilly pet store.

"CNN NewsNight" anchor Abby Phillip received a strong denial after recently asking her conservative guest whether he believed the push to hold former Harvard President Claudine Gay accountable for plagiarism was actually a racially motivated campaign.
Manhattan Institute podcast host Coleman Hughes rejected the idea, claiming that "any White scholar" would have received the same scrutiny or criticism for engaging in the plagiarism Gay has been accused of committing.
Gay announced her resignation to Harvard community members on Tuesday after weeks of criticism following allegations of her committing plagiarism on multiple occasions throughout her academic career, though she claimed she would retain a faculty role at the university.
The plagiarism scandal followed negative attention the former president garnered for refusing to overtly say that calling for genocide against Jews would violate Harvard policies during a recent U.S. congressional hearing.
In recent weeks, prominent liberal figures have argued that Gay’s critics have been using her plagiarism and antisemitism scandals as cover for their real agenda, which was to oust her from her role because she is a person of color.
On Tuesday’s episode of "CNN NewsNight," Phillip asked Hughes about this narrative.
"So, you don't think there was anything about this that had to do with the fact that she was a Black woman from the people who were claiming this as a victory against DEI, diversity, equity and inclusion?" she said.
Her guest denied that there were racial motivations behind holding the administrator accountable, and noted that, even if there were, it doesn’t deny the fact she should be punished for her actions.
"I don't think it did," Hughes said. "And you know what, even if it did, that doesn't justify it. If you or I did this, or even any White scholar, it would be career-ending to have 50 examples of plagiarism."
He further justified Gay’s grilling by reminding everyone of the fact that she was president of an institution where scholarly accuracy should be most vital.
"And it has to be because how can you be the one upholding Harvard's integrity when you yourself have failed?" he asked.
He added an example to bolster his point, saying, "It's as if the commissioner of the Major League Baseball or the NBA had a lifelong history of steroid use and was now the person in charge of kicking other people out for steroid use. It's completely untenable." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
About this Research Topic
Thanks to a fast growing collection of available fluorescent protein variants and sensors, along with innovative new microscopy technologies and quantitative analysis tools, a wide range of plant biology can now be studied in vivo, including cell morphology & migration, protein localization, topology & movement, protein-protein interaction, organelle dynamics, as well as ion, ROS & redox dynamics.
Within the cell, genetic targeting of fluorescent protein probes to different organelles and subcellular locations has started to reveal the stringently compartmentalized nature of cell physiology and its sophisticated spatiotemporal regulation in response to environmental stimuli. Most importantly, such cellular processes can be monitored in their natural 3D context, even in complex tissues and organs – a condition not easily met in studies on mammalian cells.
Recent new insights into plant cell physiology by functional imaging have been largely driven by technological developments, such as the design of novel sensors, innovative microscopy & imaging techniques and the quantitative analysis of complex image data. Rapid further advances are expected which will require close interdisciplinary interaction of plant biologists with chemists, physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists. High-throughput approaches will become increasingly important, to fill genomic data with ‘life’ on the scale of cell physiology.
If the vast body of information generated in the -omics era is to generate actual mechanistic understanding of how the live plant cell works, functional imaging has enormous potential to adopt the role of a versatile standard tool across plant biology and crop breeding.
We welcome original research papers, methodological papers, reviews and mini reviews, with particular attention to contributions in which novel imaging techniques enhance our understanding of plant cell physiology and permits to answer questions that cannot be easily addressed with other techniques.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A will helps you to meet the needs of your loved ones when you are no longer there to look after them. Therefore, preparing such a document with the greatest care possible is essential.
The attorneys at Fumuso Christesen LLP have been helping individuals and families put their affairs in order since 1970. We understand the needs of those we represent. It is our practice to get to know you and prepare a will that fully expresses your desires concerning the distribution of your estate.
Why The Will Is So Important
When prepared properly, a will clearly instructs loved ones and family members concerning your wishes. But mistakes made in the creation of a will are costly. It can result in will contests, lost assets or assets distributed incorrectly, and sometimes lengthy litigation.
In New York, finding extended family situations is becoming more common. Since individuals occasionally marry more than once during their lifetime, children are products of blended families. Ensuring that stipulations exist to cover potential eventualities is vital.
Our lawyers will therefore pay particular attention to the specifics of your circumstances. Consequently, we will create a will designed to honor your wishes and meet the needs of your loved ones. We will create the will with the intent of minimizing possible confusion. The will we draft will reduce the likelihood that a will contest will arise. Our firm can also create a trust to accompany the will.
Contact Our Office Today
Fumuso Christesen LLP will provide the legal services you require. Please do not put off preparing a will until it is too late. Contact our Hauppauge law firm as soon as you can by calling 631-232-0200. You can also reach us by email. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Maui, the “Valley Isle”, is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands. It is a land dominated by two volcanoes, Haleakala to the east, and Pu’u Kukui to the west with a wide valley between them that makes up the middle of the island. Notable sights on the island include, besides Haleakala National Park, the old town of Lahaina, which has several historical buildings, the Iao Valley, with its “Iao Needle”, a sacred area to Hawaiians but open to visitors, and the beautiful “Road to Hana”, a scenic drive along the northwestern coast. Be aware that there is no way of looping back to central Maui, so that the drive must be retraced, a roundtrip of more than 5 hours without stops. Get a map of the Hana Highway prior to setting out and plan stops, designated by milepost number, for maximum enjoyment.
Haleakala National Park gives the visitor a look at the otherworldly landscape of a volcanic crater and even allows a descent into the valley created by erosion at the top of the mountain. An interesting activity involves watching the sunrise from the top of the mountain (be advised that this requires a very early start since the drive up the mountain is over thirty miles and is steep and winding in parts). Another common park activity involves renting bicycles, being trucked up the mountain and riding down (not for the faint of heart, but there are numerous stops along the way for rest and recuperation).
Must sees while in the park include the Silversword plant, which grows only on the summit of Haleakala and lives for fifty years before flowering and dying. Look closely at the plants on display at the Summit Visitor Center. Also be sure to take a walk on one of the trails at the summit for great views of cinder cones and for panoramic views of Maui. The adventuresome should definitely bicycle down the mountain. Tour groups are abundant.
1. While in Lahaina, make reservations for the Lahaina Lu’au, the most famous and nicest luau in the islands, with excellent entertainment and a beautiful setting.
2. On the “Road to Hana”, be sure to stop at Wai’anapanapa State Park to picnic or take pictures on the small black sand beach with interesting black rock arches offshore which contrast nicely with the gorgeous teal-blue water. There is also a lava tube cave. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
VALUE MEASUREMENT VS. EYE TRACKING
Eye Tracking observes and measures eye movements, pupil dilation, point of gaze, and blinking to identify what captures study participants' attention.
WHAT IS EYE TRACKING?
Eye tracking is a neuromarketing technique designed to measure consumer attention. This methodology uses one or more cameras to track how a participant’s eyes move when interacting with some stimulus or experience (e.g., a website, advertisement, show, game, shopping trip).
The tools used in eye tracking research can be computer mounted, face mounted (on glasses that participants wear), or web based.
Eye tracking data generally takes a bit of time to process, as it requires identifying specific areas of interest (AOIs) and aggregating data from different consumers. Individuals who conduct eye tracking analysis generally complete some sort of training to become an expert in the process. This means that most eye tracking research is done by a specific vendor with expertise.
While eye tracking can be a reliable measure of attention (depending on the quality of the device used and other factors like calibration), attention alone does not predict what consumers will remember or their future behavior.
Eye tracking output can help you identify answer several attention-related questions. For example, where does attention go first? How long does it takes for a certain element to capture attention? What is the typical gaze path? How long do consumers spend attending to different elements of an experience?
Face-mounted eye tracking glasses can produce measurements in a more flexible environment where a consumer needs to be able to navigate as they would naturally, like with a journey through a store.
Web-based eye tracking allows the research to scale as it taps into consumers' own webcams to capture measurements.
Some Value Measurement users combine eye tracking with our Value Score output for shopper studies and UX research.
While attention is an important element to understand in content creation, it is only a small part of the story. Eye tracking will not tell you whether or not those elements of attention have a positive or negative impact on the consumer or if their brain is getting enough value from an experience that it will drive future behavior or recall.
Eye tracking requires a trained professional to interpret the data and send you the results, which can take weeks.
Computer-mounted eye tracking cameras require collecting data in person, preventing this from being a truly scalable option.
Computer-mounted eye tracking cameras need good lighting and require limiting movements, creating a generally unnatural experience.
All eye tracking technologies require an initial calibration, and often necessitate constant recalibration to ensure the data is accurate and useable.
Face-mounted eye tracking glasses can be bulky and attract unwanted attention, making the experience less natural for the consumer.
Due to the challenges of using individual webcams, a good portion of webcam captured eye tracking data must be thrown out due to factors that can affect data quality such as lighting, participant movement, and poor internet connectivity. This data loss requires companies to over-recruit, meaning you pay for data you can't use.
EYE-OPENING FACT FOR BRAIN NERDS:
The six muscles in each of your eyes move faster than any other muscles in your body.
(Gives a whole new meaning to the idea of "give it a quick look"...)
HOW VALUE MEASUREMENT IS DIFFERENT
Value Measurement measures attention and emotional resonance in real-time, as experiences unfold. This helps you to identify which moments are most impactful, driving value and future action...not just what they looked at.
By combining Value Measurement with eye tracking, you get a data set that not only shows what captures your audience's attention but also reveals the depth of their connection to that content.
Value Measurement instantly provides real-time results on a graphic dashboard that aligns your data to specific content or agenda points. Second-by-second, you understand the value people get out of your content or experience.
Use Value Measurement on it's own to understand your content's connection to your audience in real-time or combine with eye tracking for a robust understanding of how your content will drive action.

Spending money on brands with purpose is more important to consumers than ever. The audiences we speak to want to hear about ethics. They want to hear about what a company is doing to make the world a better place, as well as make a profit. With social media, public opinion about a brand can turn in an instant – and 58% of the 16-24 youth audience say a sense of ethics is vitally important to their buying choices.
‘Purpose’ is a world that floats around a lot in marketing spheres these days – to us, it’s pretty simple. We work face-to-face, and we want to supply our agents with a genuine sense of purpose in what they’re selling – transferring from the brand we’re representing, through to the customer they’re talking to.
It takes a certain level of openness and curiosity from our agents to make this happen. When we start representing a new client, we spend a lot of time in their service centres – finding out how the business or charity operates, who they help, and gather real stories and impressions we can share authentically with our audiences. We want to get a real sense of who we’re working with, and what they’re all about. There’s no better way to do that than experiencing their frontline.
The best marketing comes from a place of real passion and authenticity. Audiences can feel your connection to your cause, whatever marketing medium you’re working with. That sense of connection and integrity is particularly powerful when our agents are operating face-to-face. It’s about allowing our team the opportunity to feel it, get passionate about it, get excited about it – and get out there and talk about it.
With our GIG Fundraising work, we’re also educating audiences on a regular basis about the purpose of the charities we represent. In fact, this is one of the main things that seems to motivate and excite our team. It’s the opportunity to become incredibly well informed about big, globally important topics, and make an impact by talking about them with members of the public.
There’s a big focus in our work environment and company structure on self development – it’s one of our major criteria for recruitment. Through various programs, training packages and funding streams we can support a real pathway for self improvement, if it’s something our applicants are truly ready for and determined to achieve. As our team members grow as individuals, they tend to become more aware of their own personal sense of purpose. We make it a priority to assign agents to the projects and clients that they feel aligned with. When a sense of personal purpose aligns with a business purpose, there’s a huge opportunity for a level of creativity and professional development that can not only change lives, but also seriously boost our ability to get results for that client.
Many brands are clambering over themselves to demonstrate their authenticity and a newly acquired ‘brand purpose’ in order to court the younger markets. However the emotional transfer we specialise in – from brand to agent to customer – is made possible when that purpose is integrated into every level of the business.
We stand for a kind of face-to-face marketing that is built around integrity – we benefit when our agents get to represent brands and charities they believe in. The beautiful thing about the rise of purpose as a real priority for audiences is that it supports authentic, purpose-led brands to thrive, and take back space in the market from businesses that have not or don’t want to evolve.
There are so many organisations out there now creating products that are designed with a better world in mind, and organising their business models around treating employees fairly. We’re also thrilled to represent several exceptional charities fundraising to tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time. Representing companies with purpose makes face-to-face marketing a real joy, and also an incredibly effective way to spread a message. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Morrissey has been causing controversy yet again, apparently telling a fan he can't sign an autograph for them because he 'has Ebola'.
Posting on fan site Morrissey solo, an avid follower of the former Smith's frontman reportedly approached the singer at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, and after being denied a photo by his bodyguard asked for an autograph, prompting the somewhat misguided response.
The full post from the fan, who actually wasn't too disheartened by the situation, reads as follows: "I met morrissey tonight but unfortunately his bodyguard would not allow me to take a picture and when I asked morrissey for his autograph he told me he couldn’t because he has ebola…. typical morrissey answer… still exciting though."
Morrissey is yet to make a statement on whether he actually has the life threatening disease, but considering he was walking round a busy airport and has just announced a UK tour, it's pretty safe to say he was just being smarmy.
Morrissey will tour the UK in March, full dates are listed below. Buy tickets here.
March 13: Capital FM Arena, Nottingham, UK
March 14: International Centre, Bournemouth, UK
March 18: Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff, UK

This original one-off painting is based on a photo that Gillian took of a child in a school in Peru. It combines Gillian’s love for capturing portraits in an almost life-like style with her more recent experiments with abstract style and typical earthy palette. To create this piece, Gillian firstly developed different colours and textures in the background using a variety of mark-making tools including sponges, palette knives, brushes and card with acrylic. She then used brushes to carefully encourage the face and hands to emerge from the background, before finally bringing using brushwork and palette knives along with other tools such as string and stencils to create layers and pull the image together. The image is painted on a box canvas 30 x 40 cm in size, which is painted on the sides and signed by Gillian Hancey in the bottom right corner.

The term trip means an "act or action of tripping" (transitive), early 14c., from trip (v.); sense of "a short journey or voyage" is from mid-15c.; the exact connection to the earlier sense is uncertain.
Taking a trip outside of your home or office is the best way to confirm what you are reading and seeing on your devices is true. Take a trip to see a customer or friend. You can trust your eyes. You cannot always trust what you read and see on your devices.

A Newcastle magistrate said on August 29 that “any reasonable person would agree with the goals of this action”. They were referring to the cases of the final five of 51 climate protestors, arrested for taking part in a Rising Tide anti-coal protest in April.
Violet CoCo, who was sentenced last December to 15 month’s jail for disrupting traffic on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, avoided more jail time. She was handed a new community corrections order (CCO).
CoCo’s custodial sentence was overturned on appeal in March. However, she was placed under a 12-month CCO. By participating in the Rising Tide train protest, she broke that order which is why he had to face court again for the Harbour Bridge protest.
“Newcastle Port is the largest coal port in the world, transporting 1% cent of all global emissions. We have a responsibility to end fossil fuels,” CoCo said before the hearing.
“Even though I will miss my family, I am more afraid of the effects of climate breakdown than a custodial sentence. That is why I continue to engage in peaceful protest.”
Grandmother Anne Hodgson, Hugh Vaughan and Richard Boult, both retirees from Gadi/Sydney and Kara Stuart, a local government worker from Victoria, also had their cases heard on August 29.
Stuart and Boult received no convictions and no fines. Hodgson and Vaughan were given a $440 fine each.
Raffi, from Blockade Australia, also faced court for their courageous action stopping coal trains in June. They received an 18-month CCO and no fine.
Rising Tide spokesperson Anne Hodgson said: “We are in the precipice of catastrophic climate breakdown and yet state and federal Labor continues to drive us closer to the edge by approving new fossil fuel projects.
“Non-violent civil disobedience has been one of the most powerful historic forces of social change.”
Rising Tide activists will be back in court on September 13, as 19 of the Rising Tide 51 appeal their original convictions. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Oped published on Bruegel, Welt, Le Monde, Rzeczpospolita and others. Europe must rebuild its defence industry; reliance on the US is no longer tenable, whatever the outcome of the US presidential election
Europeans might think that a Kamala Harris victory in the United States presidential election on 5 November would mean a return to business as usual in terms of US leadership in transatlantic security. This attitude would be wrong. Whatever the outcome, Europe stands increasingly alone on defence and must act on this urgently.
The election matters less for European security than Europeans would like. Regardless of the outcome, the US is destined to disengage from the protection it granted Europe in the post-Cold War period of American military supremacy. President Trump and vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance, along with conservative academics, have been clear: the US supports Israel first and confronts China second. Meanwhile, Harris has strongly and continually emphasised her commitment to Israeli security and to a hawkish Middle East policy.
Harris has also underlined the importance of NATO. But the reality of American military power is that it is based on a “crumbling defence industrial base” unable to credibly back up American commitments across the globe. This is a long-term structural problem.
The war in Ukraine shows that modern warfare is fundamentally about industrial production and sustaining forces for lengthy, attritional combat. The US may at the moment be Ukraine’s greatest supporter, but its industrial might falls short. Tank and munitions production volumes remain lower than Russia’s, and are unable to meet American, Ukrainian and allied demand.
The US has spent billions on air defence to protect Israeli airspace, and billions again on precision-guided missiles and bombs to fight Yemen’s Houthis. In combating Iranian missile salvos and Houthi flotillas, the US had to use high-end air defence interceptors for which annual production is in the low dozens, far less than current demand and expenditure rates. This is not sustainable, and means these very same interceptors are not available for NATO air defence, such as the Aegis Ashore facilities in Poland and Romania.
With such severe constraints on American military might, Europe must ensure its own security. But leading European countries such as Germany are not keeping pace and Russia is outproducing Europe in defence. The reality of European security is that it is being challenged by a Russian military that is larger and better equipped than in February 2022, when the full-scale attack in Ukraine started.
A defence industry renaissance in Europe is nevertheless possible. First, funding is needed to enable scale and cost effectiveness in demand and supply. Large European countries, especially Germany, currently do not make credible long-term budget commitments but that is not a budget-constraint problem, but rather a lack of political will. Defence budgets need to be given greater priority. Some debt at both national and European Union level should be issued to fund expensive equipment, such as air defences that will be used for decades.
Second, defence companies that know that defence budgets will be reliably large will increase investments in industrial-scale production capacities. But smaller companies that are often engines of innovation face funding constraints. Support for defence-only projects from institutions such as the European Investment Bank would be an important signal to the broader financial sector that it is time for the stigma attached to defence investment to end.
Third, production numbers need to go up to reduce the price per unit. However, fragmented national defence markets and economic nationalism mean that the numbers ordered in Europe remain too small to warrant industrial production. Fostering political agreements to enable joint purchases could be one critical step. The war in Ukraine has also exposed the fragmented nature of enforcement of NATO standards, which reduces interoperability and undermines the combat effectiveness of European militaries. The EU could play a role in enforcing NATO standards, which would also reduce costs.
Fourth, the EU does not have to fixate on ‘buying European’. Instead, intelligent European preference means focusing on resident firms to enhance strategic autonomy, but cooperating with major non-EU partners when it is clearly more cost effective, timelier, or irrelevant from a strategic autonomy perspective. The October 2024 Trinity House Agreement between Germany and the UK is a template for such agreements. Enhanced cooperation with Ukraine on defence production is not only smart for the security of Ukraine, but also an opportunity to learn and produce at scale at low cost.
Europe must rebuild its defence industry for the turbulent times to come. Russia has had a head start but Europe, with its vastly larger economy, can catch up and even surpass Moscow’s military production. The material and political constraints in the US, still the leading NATO state, make it clear: on defence, Europe needs to rely increasingly on itself. It needs to act. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Hailsham Town Council is issuing information regarding the management of waterfowl at the Common Pond, as well as recent concerns expressed about the increase in antisocial behaviour at the site.
The rising number of resident geese at the pond site (in particular, Canadian Geese), has become a problem in recent months with residents stating that as a direct result, there is too much goose faeces on the surrounding footpath. The Town Council’s Assets Management Committee had been advised of the risk to public health resulting from the extensive amount of bird droppings from the unsustainable numbers of geese contaminating the water and other areas of the Common Pond site.
Across the country, unnatural numbers of waterfowl droppings caused by the decomposition of bread/artificial food and overcrowding of waterfowl can result in water-quality problems such as summer algal blooms and Avian Botulisum. Add to that, where geese, ducks and other waterfowl congregate to feed, E-coli counts can rise considerably to levels that make the water unsafe.
In response to this, the Town Council’s aim is to now strike a balance between people who enjoy spending time at the Common Pond and the wildlife present at the site. For this reason, several measures are being introduced which should help achieve this goal, including an awareness-raising campaign to dissuade members of the public from feeding the geese and ducks. This will include the erection in the coming weeks of signs at the pond advising people of this.
“The first thing we’re are doing to help tackle the problem is asking people please to not feed the birds and to keep our wildlife ‘wild’,” said Town Clerk, John Harrison. “We’re asking residents to help make the Common Pond site cleaner and safer by being responsible when it comes to feeding waterfowl at the site.”
“We appreciate that feeding birds is a normal thing to do and people mean absolutely no harm by it. However, we kindly ask residents to not be tempted and to seriously think about the problems that it can cause to local wildlife and environmental quality.
Pond Warden, Phil Hobden commented: “Feeding the ducks is a pastime that has been enjoyed by many people and for generations. Nevertheless, it is actually making the ducks and geese poorly and affecting local environmental quality as a result. Artificial feeding can be harmful to waterfowl, resulting in poor nutrition, overcrowding, increased hybridisation, delayed migration and spread of disease, as well as costly management efforts, severe water pollution and other cumulative effects.”
“I would ask everyone to respect our advice not to feed waterfowl at the Common Pond, so we can all enjoy this public green space which is so often referred to as Hailsham’s ‘Jewel in the Crown’.”
In recent days, concerns have also been expressed about the increase in antisocial behaviour at the Common Pond site. The Town Council is working with the local police following reports of people fishing at the pond (which is not allowed) and reports of deliberate injury to local wildlife.
Mr Hobden added: “During routine checks and recent monitoring of the pond, I’ve noticed that groups of people have been seen fishing, despite not being permitted to do so. I strongly encourage people not to misuse the local beauty spot, and any antisocial behaviour or injury to wildlife will be reported to the police immediately.”
Anyone who witnesses antisocial behaviour at the Common Pond should report it to the police immediately by calling 101.

Are you tired of constantly swiping through pages of apps on your iPhone, trying to find the one you need? Do you sometimes forget which folder you placed an app in, making it nearly impossible to locate? Fear not, because in this blog post, we’ll discuss the best tips and tricks for organizing your iPhone apps. With a little bit of planning and some simple tricks, you’ll be able to streamline your app usage and find what you need quickly and easily. So, let’s dive in and discover the best method for organizing your iPhone apps!
iPhone App Organization: Tips and Tricks for the Best Method
Are you tired of scrolling through pages and pages of apps on your iPhone? Do you struggle to find the app you need quickly? Fear not, because we have compiled a comprehensive guide to help you organize your iPhone apps in the best possible way.
Step 1: Take Stock of Your Apps
The first step to organizing your iPhone apps is to take stock of what you have. Go through all your apps and decide which ones you use frequently and which ones you can do without. Delete the ones you no longer need.
Step 2: Group Similar Apps Together
Once you have a list of apps that you use frequently, group them together based on their function. For example, you can group all your social media apps together, all your productivity apps together, and so on.
Step 3: Arrange Apps on the Home Screen
Now that you have grouped your apps together, it’s time to arrange them on your home screen. Place the apps you use the most on the first page. You can also arrange them based on their function. For example, you can place all your productivity apps on one page, and all your entertainment apps on another.
Step 4: Use Folders
If you have too many apps to fit on one page, use folders to organize them. To create a folder, simply drag one app on top of another. You can then name the folder whatever you like, such as Social Media or Games.
Step 5: Keep Your Dock Clean
