ODYSSEUS Solutions has announced new integrations with Uniworld Boutique River Cruises and Crystal Cruises, with inventory from both operators now connecting directly with the Odysseus platform via an API.
Distribution partners now have immediate access to Uniworld, U by Uniworld, Crystal Cruises, Crystal Yacht Cruises and Crystal River Cruises, bringing the Odysseus platform to a total of 28 cruise lines along with thousands of hotels and airlines which can be dynamically packaged.
Odysseus also offers live flight and hotel bookings via connections with all three major GDS as well as Expedia Affliate Network & Tourico.
Odysseus founder Monish Luthra, who recently showcased the platform to Australian travel consultants in Sydney during the CLIA Australasia Cruise360 conference, said there had been a fantastic response to the product.
“We’ve talked with a lot of people recently and shown them the booking engine, what it can do, how easy and fast it is to use.
“It does a lot of things that others don’t, and there’s serious interest from a number of travel companies in Australia and Asia, which is where we’ve focused our sales efforts this year,” he said.
Luthra said the company was gearing up to meet the demand, with the addition of twenty more software developers and support engineers taking total staff numbers beyond 100.
Miami-based Odysseus currently generates over 55,000 cruise and 300,000 flight bookings each year, with volume growing at a rate of 30% annually.
The Australian sales office for Odysseus is headed up by travel industry IT veteran Dave Upton. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Swimming pools are something which will be forever popular, since they not only provide countless hours of fun and relaxation during summers but also increase the over all value of your property. However, not everyone can afford to have an inground swimming pool on their property, while some can’t afford it financially, others don’t have enough space to dig one up in their backyard.
In both the cases, Sea Spray pools has the answer to your prayers. Whether you live in a climate that stays hot all year round or whether it snows in winter, above ground pools are ideal for both these cases. While a lot of people prefer to have inground pools, the fact of the matter is that having an above ground pool is far more convenient and economical.
Here are some of the reasons why you need to consider above ground pools over inground pools:
• While extensive groundwork is needed for installing an inground pool, with an above ground pool all you have to do is buy the pool and set it up in your backyard of just about any size. Buy a pool according to the size of the space that you have, install and dip in! It’s as simple as that.
• As opposed to inground pools, above ground Seaspray pools are low maintenance as well. For your pool to stay safe and healthy for swimming throughout the season, it needs to be maintained on a daily basis. With an above ground pool safety, installation, and maintenance, is a piece of cake. Since it sits well above the ground, there is very little chance of environmental debris falling in. With an inground pool, owners have to take special care when mowing the lawn, or keeping pets and other animals away incase they jump into the pool, or wild life like squirrels, skunks or frogs falling in. Owners of above ground pools have none of these issues to worry about.
• Even from a safety point of view, above ground pools are better, since there is little chance of old people, people with disabilities or very young children falling into the pool. Since above ground pools require a stair to get into the pool, which proves to be quite a challenge for such individuals, thus keeping them safe. This also means that you and your family don’t just have immense fun in an above ground pool but a bit of exercise as well.
And the biggest advantage of above ground seaspray pools is that they are a lot cheaper than inground pools. In fact above ground swimming pools are almost one fourth the cost of an inground pool. This makes them suitable for just about any size of budget. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Equation of state for near critical argon obtained via molecular dynamics
Jakler Nichele, Leonardo S. De B. Alves and Itamar Borges, Jr.
Molecular dynamics (MD) investigations of argon were done in the neighborhood of the thermodynamic critical point. A Lennard-Jones type potential was used to describe the Ar-Ar interactions. We focused on two strongly divergent properties useful to define an equation of state (EOS): the isothermal compressibility, KT, and the thermal expansion coefficient, αP. Both properties already diverge near the critical region in the classical theory. We did not simulate weakly divergent properties like the isochoric heat capacity and the adiabatic compressibility, which are more challenging because they do not diverge in the classical theory. A statistical mechanics analysis of the temporal evolution of 1000 argon atoms during 2 ns was carried out. All results are in good agreement with available experimental data sets compiled by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). A phase diagram combining MD results and literature data near the critical point was constructed. We could obtain the spinodal curve for subcritical argon, which bounds the metastable region inside the saturation zone of the phase diagram. The computed EOS can be directly used in numerical simulations of compressible fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The approach here employed is of general applicability and can be extended to other atoms and molecules.
Keywords: Supercritical fluid, critical state, argon, differential equation of state, isothermal compressibility, thermal expansion coefficient, molecular dynamics, spinodal curve, phase diagrams, comparison with NIST data. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A place where you can smile proudly and keep it for life.
Dentistry For All Ages
From dental implants to dental hygiene, there are many possibilities to regain your confidence.
So Many Options For Your Smile
Select a photo to learn more about our top dental services for Lewis Center.
During your comprehensive exams, we thoroughly review your health history and discuss ways how to improve both your oral and overall health. A comprehensive exam at Olentangy Modern Dental also includes:
- One-on-one time with Dr. Amy Gavin to discuss your goals
- Digital x-rays
- Periodontal charting
- Customized treatment plan
After your exam, you’ll receive a gentle (but thorough) cleaning from our wonderful hygienists who will get rid of tartar and plaque to give your smile a polished look.
- Red, puffy gums
- Bleeding gums
If you or your hygienist are noticing these early signs, Dr. Gavin may recommend periodontal therapy (scaling & root planing). This is considered a deep cleaning, where one of our hygienists will get rid of plaque and tartar below the gumline to help your gums heal and be free from periodontal disease.
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Stained teeth
Placing porcelain veneers requires the perfect blend of art and science. Dr. Amy Gavin is your cosmetic dentist for the Lewis Center and Olentangy areas. She’ll work closely with you to ensure your new smile is a work of art – made only for you.
- Aligners are removable: These clear, plastic aligners are customized to your smile and are not attached to your teeth. This allows you to remove the aligners whenever you need to eat or brush your teeth.
- Eat your favorite foods and brush with ease: Since the aligners are removable, you can eat your favorite foods without hesitation. Also, you can brush and floss normally without brackets and metal wires getting in the way.
- Virtually invisible: Invisalign aligners are clear, so people will hardly know you’re receiving orthodontic treatment!
- Beautiful results: Before you know it, you’ll have a beautiful, straight smile.
At your smile consultation, Dr. Gavin will chat with you on what you’re looking for in your new smile. She’ll consider many of your characteristics to craft a unique smile, including:
- Eye color
- Skin color
- Facial characteristics
- And so much more
Investing in a brand new smile can be a scary decision, which is why we have a smile design simulator to preview your new smile before starting treatment. In turn, you’ll know what to expect with the end results, keeping your smile for years to come.
Normally, you would have to go see a specialist to place the titanium post within your jawbone, but Dr. Gavin is able to place and restore implants right in the office, allowing you to see the same familiar face from start to finish. Under the care of our Lewis Center implant dentist, you can:
- Enjoy your favorite foods without being in pain
- Speak clearly without mumbling or slurring your words
- Stop jawbone deterioration to bring back facial support
- Have stabilized dentures
- A healthy smile for life with the proper hygiene routines
Bridges: Bridges are an alternative option to replace missing teeth if you’re not a candidate for dental implants. A bridge is an artificial tooth held in place by crowns, which are bonded to the adjacent teeth on each side of the gap. These artificial teeth will look and feel like natural teeth, restoring beauty and function.
Do you suffer from jaw pain, headaches, or TMJ symptoms? Want to smooth out wrinkles and restore your youthful facial features?
At Olentangy Modern Dental, our care doesn’t stop at dentistry. We also offer BOTOX and dermal fillers to help you look and feel your best. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Onshape’s Mate Connectors aren’t just for assemblies. They can be used in Part Studios, too! Here are five quick tips for using Mate Connectors in your Part Studios:
1. Sketch Planes
When starting a new sketch, select the Mate Connector icon to the right of the selection box. Select a point to make an implicit Mate Connector. The sketch is coincident with the X-Y plane of the new Mate Connector. There is a smaller Mate Connector icon inside the selection box that you can select to change the location and orientation.
Mate Connectors are available to use in patterns and mirrors as well. For linear patterns , the primary (z) axis of the Mate Connector defines the direction of the pattern. In a circular pattern , the primary axis defines the axis of rotation. Finally, the X-Y plane of the Mate Connector defines the mirror plane in a Mirror feature. All of these allow explicit or implicit connectors.
3. Section Views
If you don’t have a model that has planar or cylindrical faces, it can be a challenge to section a model. Use a Mate Connector in place of model geometry for the section plane.
Use a Mate Connector in a Draft feature to define the Neutral Plane. Use it in Draft Analysis to define the Mold split direction.
5. Defining a New Origin
Sometimes, you need the center of mass with respect to a certain point. Instead of using a feature to move the entire model, use a Mate Connector to set a new reference point. This option only works with explicitly defined Mate Connectors (you cannot define it within the dialog).
Finally, use a Mate Connector when defining the origin of a new Part Studio in context of an assembly to set the appropriate location and orientation.
These are just five tips, but there are many more uses. Keep an eye out for the Mate Connector icon in any of your feature dialogs to take advantage of this versatile tool.

Over 1,300 eye care professionals (ECPs) from around the world descended on Orlando recently (February 11-13) for the Transitions Optical Academy 2024 and the launch of the company’s new Gen S dynamic photochromic lens.
More than five years in the making, Transitions Optical global vice president, innovation, technology and operations Dr Brian O’Neill, said Gen S was the result of a ‘no compromise’ attitude towards research and development. Some 450 prototype lenses were produced in the development of Gen S, with a team of more than 150 scientists, added O’Neill.
The new lens combines three core elements of performance, Gen Speed, Gen Style and Gen Smart. During the launch, Transitions said Gen S was the fastest dark lens in the clear to dark photochromic category – activating outdoors in just two seconds, reaching category three darkness in 25 seconds, and fading back to fully clear in less than two minutes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tasting Notes for Currach Single Malt Irish Whisky - Atlantic Kombu Seaweed Cask
Aroma: Toffee and raisins with hints of almond, backed by a roasted kombu aroma.
Taste: Arabic roast coffee fused with salted caramel and dark chocolate notes complemented by earthy and lightly smoked seaside and umami undertones.
Finish: The dark and rich flavours of the palate fade to leave a persistent and delicately sweet maritime finish.
Using the finest of Irish malted barley, this contemporary single malt whiskey is triple distilled before being aged in 1st fill American oak ex-bourbon barrels, and is then finished in unique Atlantic Kombu seaweed charred virgin oak casks. It’s this perfect union of the Irish land and sea that creates a rich multi-layered whiskey with a delicate umami character.
Kombu, a brown seaweed varietal, is located in the extreme lower part of the shore and is harvested during low spring tides throughout the year. Mildly salty and subtly sweet, it is rich in umami, the fifth human taste.

Each product celebrates the best of Ireland’s terroir, tradition of distillation and spirit of creativity – This DNA transverses the portfolio. Each product is unique yet shares the same ‘Single Malt’ backbone. Each transports one on a sensory voyage to the heart of the Irish terroir.
Following the same ethos, Currach Single Malt Irish Whiskey is a true innovation in the whiskey world, and the first to be finished in seaweed charred casks – their first expression created using Irish Atlantic Kombu Kelp Seaweed and their second expression created using Atlantic Wakame Seaweed. -

Woman Raped On Train While Fellow Passengers Did Nothing To Intervene, Authorities Say
The attack, which took place on a commuter train near Philadelphia and lasted for eight minutes, was captured on surveillance video.
A woman was raped on a commuter train just outside of Philadelphia while onlookers watched and did nothing, authorities say.
The victim, whose name has not been released, was a passenger on the train heading westbound on the Market-Frankford Line near Philadelphia on Wednesday night when a man "attempted to touch her a few times," Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority spokesperson Andrew Busch said, according to The New York Times. When the woman rebuffed the man’s advances, “he proceeded to rip her clothes off,” Busch said.
The suspect was later identified as a 35-year-old homeless man, Fiston Ngoy.
The attack was caught on surveillance camera and lasted an entire eight minutes, according to the NYT.
Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt of the Upper Darby Township Police Department said fellow passengers failed to intervene or call 911.
“There was a lot of people, in my opinion, that should have intervened; somebody should have done something,” said Bernhardt, according to the Associated Press. “It speaks to where we are in society; I mean, who would allow something like that to take place? So it’s troubling.”
According to the New York Times Bernhardt declined to comment on how many passengers witnessed the attack but said, “Collectively, they could have gotten together and done something.”
A SEPTA employee boarded the train car and noticed, “something wasn’t right,” said Bernhardt, according to the AP. The employee notified police, who boarded the train at the next stop.
“The assault was observed by a SEPTA employee, who called 911, enabling SEPTA officers to respond immediately and apprehend the suspect in the act,” SEPTA said in a statement emailed to Oxygen.com.
Authorities arrested Ngoy and took the victim to the hospital, where she cooperated with police and provided them with information.
“What this woman endured at the hands of this guy, what she’s been able to provide for us, it’s been unbelievable,” said Bernhardt, according to the AP.
“There were other people on the train who witnessed this horrific act,” SEPTA continued in the statement to Oxygen.com. “And it may have stopped sooner if a rider called 911.”
Superintendent Bernhardt said there were reports of train passengers recording the assault on their phones, according to the NYT, but police hadn’t confirmed the claims. Bernhardt added that the decision to possibly file criminal charges against the passengers would be left to the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office, but noted that the state of Pennsylvania had not adopted a Good Samaritan law, which could make bringing charges difficult.
“I’m appalled by those who did nothing to help this woman,” Bernhardt said, according to the New York Times. “Anybody that was on that train has to look in the mirror and ask why they didn’t intervene or why they didn’t do something.”
Ngoy has been charged with rape, sexual assault, and aggravated indecent assault without consent.
He remains at the Delaware County Jail on $180,000 bail. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Every year around this time, I start to get a little antsy for popsicle season. Aside from how easy (and delicious) they are, I honestly don’t know why I love making them so much. But I do! I really do.
And being as though it’s officially May AND I just got back from a trip that involved a whole lots of cocktails, I figured I’d mix the two and create a quick and easy strawberry mojito popsicle recipe (which can be made with or without booze).
- 5 strawberries (sliced into thin pieces)
- 8-12 mint leaves
- fresh squeezed juice from 1 lime
- 3 cups of strawberry lemonade
- 2 tablespoons of simple syrup
- 3/4 cup rum*
*To make it non-alcoholic just switch out the rum for 3/4 cup of blended fresh strawberries (just pop chopped strawberries into a blender and blend until liquified).
Combine fresh lime juice, strawberry lemonade, and rum (or the additional cup of blended strawberries if doing a non-alcoholic version) into a pitcher and stir.
Add slices of fresh strawberries and mint leaves to each popsicle mold. Then pour the mojito mixture into each popsicle mold.
As with all popsicle recipes, I’d recommend placing the popsicle mold in the freezer for 45 minutes. Then removing them from freezer briefly, insert popsicle sticks, and place back in the freezer for 4 hours or until frozen.
Then, when you’re ready to eat one, grab the tray from the freezer and run warm water over the underside of the tray for 20-30 seconds to remove.

James Otto McCauley, age 90 passed away surrounded by loving family at his home, St. Joseph Assisted Living on Tuesday July 30th, 2024. James was born August 28th, 1933 in Louisville, Ohio - the son of the late Charles and Josephine (Moyer) McCauley. He was a member of St. Benedict Catholic Church for decades. He was a dedicated steelworker for the Timken Company for 39 years, a proud Navy veteran and member of the American Legion. He was a very active member of the East Canton Athletic Booster Club for many, many years. Every December James could be seen at local activities as well as private Christmas parties in his favorite red suit and long white beard as, you guessed it, Santa Claus!! James along with his devoted wife, Carolyn, raised 9 children while farming in East Canton.
In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 60 years, Carolyn; his sister Susan, his brother Arthur Conn and grandchildren Aaron, Amber and Ian. He is survived by his children - Carol (Mike) Snider, Georgia (Kenny) Holbert, Mary (Tom) Showers, James, Laura (John) Haines, Charles (Sherry), Joseph, Thomas (Jeni), Ancil (Chrissy) and 25 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren, 1 great great granddaughter and a brother Artemus (Donna) Conn.
The family wishes to thank the staff at St. Joseph Assisted Living for making “Grandpa Jim” feel like family and giving him special care despite his cantankerous self.

Like an illustration in a galactic Just So Story, the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula winds through the emission region and young star cluster complex IC 1396, in the high and far off constellation of Cepheus. Also known as vdB 142, this
cosmic elephant’s trunk is over 20 light-years long. The detailed telescopic view features the bright swept-back
ridges and pockets of cool interstellar dust and gas that abound in the region. But the dark, tendril-shaped clouds contain the raw material for star formation and hide protostars within. Nearly 3,000 light-years distant, the relatively faint IC 1396 complex covers a large region on the sky, spanning over 5 degrees. This rendition spans a 1 degree wide field of view though, about the angular size of 2 full moons.

For over a decade, the annual Herbalife Asia-Pacific Extravaganza has drawn some 15,000 to 23,000 participants from 14 countries for three to five days of training, meetings, and a big party. We tend to rotate between two cities — Singapore and Bangkok — yet our teams never seem to tire of these destinations. In fact, they now anchor the Southeast Asia and North Asia Extravaganzas respectively as our numbers have grown so large.
As a Thai woman living in Singapore with my Singaporean husband and three daughters, I am equally at home in both cities. But a journalist’s question about why we love these two cities set me thinking.
With such a huge turnout, venue capacity and facilities are obviously key. Plentiful accommodation at affordable prices is important, too. Several cities meet these criteria. So, it must be the overall experience — destination appeal and exciting programme tapping on local flavours — that motivates distributors into action (hence the term “motivaction”) to qualify and return to a place they’ve visited several times before.
What do attendees like about Singapore? A quick poll showed: It is safe, no visa is needed for many nationalities, and airport clearance is swift. It also has diverse cultures where one can find food of all types and flavours. Getting around is easy with lots of transport options. The usual venue, Singapore EXPO, is now even more accessible with two train lines stopping there.
Top achievers often baffle people. We are very serious about business and want the big picture. Through events like the Extravaganza, we can learn from leaders and top producers from different countries and exchange knowledge and business ideas with our counterparts. Yet small touches also impress us. Seeing welcome panels in the trains plying the Expo route and banners and buntings adorning the venue reinforce our pride in the brand, as we gather in our multi-hued T-shirts or national costumes, proudly waving flags. We represent different countries, but are one in fellowship.
The benefits in Bangkok are large exposition venues such as Impact Arena and affordable, plentiful hotel accommodation choices. People are friendly too, and share our joie de vivre. Participants also like the variety of food from different parts of Thailand and the opportunity to shop till very late in the night.
We think of Singapore and Bangkok as being at the heart of Asia, where we are in the thick of the action. Products reflect the country attendees are in, such as tropical fruit-flavoured protein supplements like mango and banana — a thrilling taste sensation for delegates from Australia, New Zealand, and East Asia. Attendees appreciate the lengths the headquarters and host destinations go to in facilitation, such as planning, logistics, programming, and issues like security and crowd control. Organising committee members (such as myself) take care of details like the event agenda, timing, speakers, and topics.
There have been “smaller” Herbalife meetings for 3,000 participants and below, with more host destinations in the past few years, such as Brisbane, Sydney, Seoul, Taiwan, Bali, and Penang. We enjoy Hong Kong and Macao, too. But for many teams, our two anchor cities are still tops.

Lack of trust in pharma-provided content proves to be a key barrier to successful engagement, highlighting issues like promotional spin, information availability, and more.
Digital transformation is changing the way pharmaceutical companies engage with HCPs, with many seeking to take advantage of technology to create engaging digital products. But, despite heavy investment, only 4% of executives say that their company’s digital product launches are regularly succeeding.1
While there could be any number of reasons for a digital product to fall short of expectations, engagement is a critical issue. It is important to understand and address the barriers that prevent HCPs from pharma companies’ digital channels, as well as the day-to-day experiences that shape their engagement.
Graphite Digital’s latest report Trust: The key factor in digital HCP engagement?2 investigates the pressure points and concerns that HCPs have when it comes to accessing and using digital pharma products. Throughout our interviews with healthcare providers (HCPs) and senior pharma leaders from Pfizer, Takeda and Astellas Pharma, the conversation often came back to trust—or a lack thereof—as a key barrier, with 80% of HCPs admitting that they do not trust pharma-provided content.
HCPs need pharma companies, and vice versa. However, the current lack of trust is affecting the effectiveness of the relationship between the two, impacting behavior and engagement on and offline.
To identify specific recommendations to address HCPs’ lack of trust in pharma-provided digital content, it is important to understand the limitations, pain points, and frustrations that stand in the way of the user experience of current digital platforms.
Our report highlights four core issues that impact HCPs willingness to use content from pharma companies:
It may feel like there is a mountain to climb when it comes to rebuilding trust in pharma content, but really, it comes down to one thing: customer-centricity.
Given the concerns, we know that to build trust and increase engagement, pharma companies must produce transparent and neutral content, presented on digital platforms that are easy to use. The medical profession is deeply based in science, and that means that they want to see the evidence of the claims being made for themselves—and that data needs to be readily available to avoid frustration.
Putting medical expertise front-and-center presents a significant opportunity to build trust too. While pharma companies’ relationships with HCPs vary by countries, HCPs find it reassuring to know that the medical team has been involved in the development of content as these teams are generally seen to be more aligned with HCP priorities and are thought to understand the needs of the physician.
Following these suggestions will provide a good starting point for building trust in digital pharma content, however adopting an empathy-based marketing approach requires ongoing insight. Having regular, in-depth conversations with HCPs, listening to their feedback on your content and digital innovations is vital if you are to pursue a truly customer-centric mindset.
We find that brands perceive user testing might take a long time, or will be very risky or expensive—but this is often not the case. And what you are likely to find is that by testing early, you vastly increase the chances of your solution finding favor with your target market.
By taking this approach—developing an evidence-based, customer-centric mindset—you will create greater value for your target market, leading to higher levels of engagement, greater trust and greater commercial outcomes.

From March 20-22, 2024, the 2024 CHWE Global Cross-border E-commerce Selection Exhibition, guided by the Shenzhen Council for the Promotion of International Trade and hosted by the Cross-border E-commerce Working Committee of the China Electronics Chamber of Commerce and Chuhai.com Cross-border E-commerce (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., will be held at the Shenzhen Futian Convention and Exhibition Center.
As a renowned global payment platform, PhotonPay made a prominent appearance at the expo, attracting attention from cross-border e-commerce and foreign trade enterprises with its one-stop, convenient, and efficient payment solutions.
Global Cross-border E-commerce Focuses on Shenzhen
As Shenzhen's first cross-border exhibition of the year, this event is themed “Making Cross-border Business Easier.” It brings together global cross-border e-commerce platforms, international and domestic channel resources, high-quality local supply chain resources, and global ecosystem service resources. The aim is to create a comprehensive, professional, and effective platform for communication and procurement, setting a new benchmark for high-standard, international cross-border e-commerce trade exhibitions.
The exhibition will also specifically invite over 200 major domestic and international sellers with multi-million and billion-level sales (such as Ebuy, XShoppy, etc.) to attend and connect with factories for one-on-one resource matching. Concurrently, there will be five major fully managed platform sessions, 15 selected cross-border business forums, and a series of other activities to help businesses unlock new development strategies and explore opportunities.
New Approach: "Globalization First, Localization Next"
As domestic enterprises continue to mature in their international expansion, while "universal" product categories flourish, "local overseas" product categories are gradually becoming an important focus. The 2024 CHWE Global Cross-border Selection E-commerce Exhibition has identified new opportunities in these "local overseas" categories, inviting over 3,000 companies to participate. With an exhibition area of 8,000 square meters, the event boasts a large scale and diverse categories, linking resources from industrial hubs across the country. This provides sellers with product selection ideas and resources to secure their place in the market early and gain a competitive edge.
One-stop Global Payment Solutions
At this exhibition, PhotonPay showcases its products, including Online Payments, Global Accounts, Payouts, and FX Management, engaging directly with sellers and foreign trade businesses to address challenges related to international payments and foreign exchange settlements. The event offers professional global payment solutions and on-site support, such as one-on-one account setup guidance, provided by our experienced global business team. Additionally, we engage in in-depth discussions with international enterprises on industry hot topics such as emerging overseas markets, localized payment solutions, and favorable policies on new platforms.
As a leading innovative global payment platform, PhotonPay has partnered with 90% of the world's major e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop, Mercado Libre, Shopee, and Etsy, as well as local shops and independent sites. We provide end-to-end payment services for cross-border e-commerce businesses expanding into overseas markets, effectively solving various fund management challenges across multiple application scenarios.
Amid the trend of global trade, PhotonPay collaborates with international banks and licensed financial institutions to offer global account collection services in multiple currencies, including USD, EUR, and GBP. We are rapidly expanding local collection account services in regions such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, North America, and Europe. By connecting to local clearing networks, PhotonPay enables cross-border sellers and foreign trade businesses to achieve faster, more efficient, and cost-effective international fund settlements, empowering them to integrate into the global supply chain more seamlessly.
From March 20-22, PhotonPay warmly invites global trade enterprises to visit us at Booth [9H21] at the Shenzhen Futian Convention and Exhibition Center. Meet with our senior global business experts to explore opportunities for deeper cooperation between cross-border industry chain enterprises and financial institutions! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

“ I laughed so hard, I peed in my pants”. Funny, but not so funny is it?
This unfortunate accident could be a dysfunction of pelvic floor muscles. Incontinence is a personal and sensitive problem. It can have a major impact on your quality of life and cause you to avoid social situations, leading to a less active lifestyle. Many women feel that this is a normal fact of life after pregnancy. More than 50% of women do not seek out the help they need.
Often, incontinence results from weakening of the pelvic muscles. Patients lose voluntary control over their bowels and bladder. This may happen from surgery, due to aging, or from a number of other causes.
The PhysioActive Approach
Fortunately, help is available at PhysioActive. We offer effective physiotherapy to address your incontinence issues.
Our physiotherapists will look at the many possible causes of your incontinence. Most women can eliminate their incontinence with manual therapy to correct the position of the pelvis, strengthen their muscles and improve their posture and breath. In some case,s internal manual therapy can be beneficial. Our therapists focus on strengthening your pelvic muscles and teaching you how to properly activate these muscles, restoring your control over your bowels and bladder. Additionally, these programmes can reduce pelvic and lower back pain. We offer help for women in a discreet, private, and caring environment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

October. Samhain. The Turn of the Wheel.
At a festival years ago, Eric and I were asked to hold a position in an autumnal ritual – to play the role of questioner, of taunter, of fae…in this case, some little devils known as the “Ooga Boogas.”
Sunset had begun. A line of ritual attendees paraded themselves to the valley with the raised circle waiting for them, and they were all told to think of the goals we wanted to accomplish in the coming solitude of the winter months and were also to contemplate the harvest of our mind and body’s work of the previous year.
Everyone began to follow this focus and create those visualizations until they reached the ritual circle. Then as we felt the tug, one by one, all of the Ooga Boogas peeled away silently from the line and began darting around, whispering doubts into the ears of those meditating. We asked them the sort of tough questions that are hard to ask yourself, and even harder to answer.
“Are you happy with your life?”
“What are you doing with your time here on Earth?”
“How much is your life worth to you?”
And as the ritual progressed, we melted back into the lines of attendees, all of us riding the waves of magic as it rippled throughout the night. Confidence and reassurance were returned to those who listened to the questions and heard the doubts and fears prompted by our whispers, and the concerns were temporarily forgotten as people began to dance and celebrate around the huge fire ringed by drums.
One of my fellow doubt-bringers was a Priest of the Serpent path and was quite an appropriately chosen Ooga Booga, in my opinion. Yet after the ritual, I found him quite distraught, seemingly wrapped in the doubts he’d been asked to spread. I asked him if he was well, and he explained that he couldn’t whisper a single thing to anyone participating. He said that the only question that he could imagine was too harsh, and would terrify people.
The only question he had was “Are you ready to die?”
Most people know me as a creature of light, oh my gentle readers. And this is true. But more than that, I am a creature of balance. I acknowledge the dark desires as well as those selfless and pure. I informed this priest that his question was the most potent and precise of all that I heard asked.
Am I ready to die? Should it all end tomorrow, would I be satisfied with all that I have accomplished or experienced? Most of my soul feels that it is so – I would not be a weeping and wandering ghost full of unrequited loves and unspoken words. (Were I to be a ghost, I would be one just for the fun of terrorizing and alternately amazing people with my shimmering nature. It’s a kick! I suggest you try it sometime when you are good and dead.)
Are you ready to die? And if not, then what is it you haven’t done, and why haven’t you done it? This is the season of mirror-staring; of omphaloskepsis, of scrying. Enter into winter prepared, my lovies. This season has some big ripples for us to ride.
Are you ready to live? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Have any suggestions for the 3 Count? Let me know via Twitter @plagiarismtoday.
First off today, Blake Brittain at Reuters reports that the United States Supreme Court heard arguments in a case of monetary damages in copyright cases but indicated that it may dismiss the lawsuit rather than deal with the issue at hand.
The case was filed by Sherman Nealy, who claims that his label owns the rights to the song Jam the Box by Tony Buttler. Flo Rida used elements of that song in his 2008 work In the Ayer. However, Nealy was in prison at the time the song was released and didn’t learn about the infringement until 2016. He filed a lawsuit seeking damages going back to the song’s release, but the lower court only allowed him to seek damages for the past three years, the statute of limitations in copyright cases, but the appeals court overturned that decision.
The case went before the Supreme Court, with two justices indicating that they may dismiss the case without issuing a decision. There is currently a circuit split over the issue of damages past the three year mark and many were hoping the Supreme Court would address and resolve that issue. No decision is expected until later this year.
2: Nickelback Beats Song-Theft Lawsuit Over ‘Rockstar’ At Appeals Court: ‘Mere Clichés’ Aren’t Infringement
Next up today, Bill Donahue at Billboard reports that Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court ruling that dismissed a lawsuit against the band Nickelback, saying that “mere cliches” can not be protected by copyright.
The case was filed by musician Kirk Johnston, who claimed that the Nickleback song Rockstar was an infringement of his earlier song entitled Rock Star. Though Johnston claimed that the two songs were “strikingly similar”, though the lower court disagreed and dismissed the case.
Johnston appealed but now the Fifth Circuit has upheld that decision, saying that the similarities between the two songs are tied to cliches about being a rock star and are not protectable by copyright. The court also found that there was no evidence members of Nickelback ever had access to Johnston’s work, poking another hole in the case for infringement.
Finally today, Abraham Jewett at Top Class Actions reports that Build-A-Bear and the company behind Squishmallows have filed dueling lawsuits over alleged similarities between the two companies’ products.
In their lawsuit, Squishmallows alleges that Build-A-Bear released a Shookerz plushie is too similar to Squishmallow’s toys. They allege that it violates both copyright and trademark protections in their work. To support the claim, they note several media mentions that refered to the Build-A-Bear product as “Squishmallowlike” and used similar terms to compare the two.
Build-A-Bear, in their lawsuit, are seeking a judgment of non-infringing, claiming that they difference between the two products is easy to discern and that the similarities between the two cannot be protected. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

“No, you have approached Mount Zion and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and countless angels in festal gathering, and the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven, and God the judge of all, and the spirits of the just made perfect, and Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and the sprinkled blood that speaks more eloquently than that of Abel.” (Heb. 12:21-24).
“Your hands are full of blood! Wash yourselves clean…learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow” (Is. 1:15-17).
Father of Mercies, God of Love,
What wonders You have shown us
In giving Your only Son,
Not to condemn the world but to save it.
Father, You have been pleased
To gather us together in Your Son
And in the Holy Spirit
As a community filled with the joy of life
And of intimacy with You.
Father, You have made this possible
Through the blood of Jesus Your Son, our Savior.
As we see that blood shed for us,
We realize that no sin can ever discourage us again,
And no accusation of the Evil One can drag us down.
We are redeemed, we are forgiven, we are set free in Christ!
We are no longer scattered by sin,
But gathered, in joyful celebration, in Your Son!
Lord, we know that the blood of the innocent children
Who have been killed by abortion
Stains our land and cries out to heaven.
That blood also cries out to us,
To our hearts broken over the sin of abortion,
And to our consciences,
As we realize we must work to end this violence.
But what joy we have
In knowing that the blood of Your Son
Is speaking on our behalf
And is overpowering the voice
Of violence, sin, shame and guilt.
Father, may every person
Who has been guilty of cooperating in abortion,
By what they have done
Or by what they have failed to do,
Take new courage from the blood of Christ,
Turn to You in life-giving repentance,
And rejoice in the forgiveness and freedom
That is ours in the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Best Size and Material of Kitchen Cabinet
What is the best standard for cabinet size.
1.Floor cabinet size.
In terms of cabinet design, the size standard of the cabinet floor cabinet is related to the size of the countertop sink. From an ergonomic point of view, the size and height of the kitchen cabinet floor cabinet should be controlled within the range of 780 mm, and the size of the sink should be controlled within the range of 470 mm * 880 mm.
2.Wall cabinet size.
There is a certain correlation between the size of the kitchen cabinet wall cabinet and daily usage habits. If you are accustomed to the left and right door opening method of the wall cabinet, the width dimension standard of the wall cabinet should be similar to the width dimension standard of the floor cabinet. If it is used to open the door on the flip, then The minimum size of the wall cabinet should be 500 mm, and the maximum should be within 1000 mm. However, if the material of the kitchen cabinet is not good, it is easy to deform during the process of turning up the door.
What kind of cabinet is good.
1.Solid wood board
The door frame of the solid wood panel is solid wood, mainly in cherry, walnut, and oak colors. The door core is made of medium-density board with solid wood skin. In the production, the solid wood surface is generally embossed and painted on the outside to maintain the original wood color and beautiful shape. In this way, the appearance of the solid wood can be ensured, and the combination of the frame and the core board can also ensure the strength of the door panel.
Style characteristics: It has the effect of returning to nature and returning to the truth; the overall nature, luxurious classics, and simple craftsmanship and materials have won the favor of modern people.
Applicable kitchen: The traditional classical style requires a large kitchen space. U-shaped and island-shaped are more suitable layout forms. Country-style kitchens are mostly made of solid wood, and they also require a large area, preferably with antique-designed floor tiles.
Glass door panels are commonly used materials in the doors of wall cabinets. Aluminum frames or wooden frames can be used around them, and a large area in the middle is glass. It can also be used as a partial inlay and flower decoration foil.
Style features: classic-style kitchen cabinets, natural wood and glass are simple and nostalgic; the combination of lacquered panels and glass is modern and stylish. Especially in small kitchens, bright and transparent glass is the best way to enlarge the space.
Applicable kitchen: wall cabinets in any style kitchen can be used, especially in smaller kitchens.
The base material of the baking varnish board is density board, and the surface is sprayed with imported paint (three bases, two sides, and one light) at high temperature and baked for 6 times. The surface is polished, primed, dried, and polished. It is divided into three types: bright, matte and metal baking paint.
Style features: bright color, easy to shape, with strong visual impact, very beautiful and fashionable.
Applicable kitchen: Due to the variety of colors and the strong sense of overall shape, the size of the space is not a problem. For a space with a small area, you can choose a linear and L-shaped pattern with light colors to enlarge the space. A kitchen with a large enough area should pay more attention to the matching of colors. The bright red to bright green combined with the island-shaped and corridor-shaped pattern is both individual and modern. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I recently picked up a copy of Sample’s 2002 CD The Pecan Tree, and listened to it while out of town last week at Myrtle Beach. A very good album; recommended. You can find clips from the CD here to test drive.
Also recommended is his 1996 CD “Old Places, Old Faces” (sample clips here), and if you like jazz with orchestration (my personal feeling is generally “Meh.”), his 1993 CD Invitation. He also has a greatest hits album you might want to check out, and his earlier work with the Crusaders is worth trying out as well. There are “Live at the Lighthouse `66” and “Lighthouse `68” CDs, as well as a “greatest hits” CD, if you want to get a feel of what the Crusaders sounded like in the day. (The Lighthouse was a jazz club in Hermosa Beach, CA.) You can also get sound samples to test drive for those on Amazon as well.
BTW, the image on the cover of Lighthouse ’68 is a fresnel lens, which is how the light in a lighthouse focuses its rays into a spotlight to beam out to sea without the light scattering. They’re also used in some projectors, and for those flat plastic magnifier sheets your granny uses with the telephone book.
Here’s a short biography; a longer one is available here:
One of the many jazzmen who started out playing hard bop but went electric during the fusion era, Joe Sample was, in the late ’50s, a founding member of the Jazz Crusaders along with trombonist Wayne Henderson, tenor saxman Wilton Felder, and drummer Stix Hooper. The Crusaders’ debt to Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers wasn’t hard to miss — except that the L.A.-based unit had no trumpeter, and became known for its unique tenor/trombone front line. Sample, a hard-swinging player who could handle chordal and modal/scalar improvisation equally well, stuck to the acoustic piano during the Crusaders’ early years — but would place greater emphasis on electric keyboards when the band turned to jazz-funk in the early ’70s and dropped “Jazz” from its name. Though he’d recorded as a trio pianist on 1969’s obscure Fancy Dance, 1978’s Rainbow Seeker was often described as his first album as a leader. In contrast to the gritty music the Crusaders became known for, Sample’s own albums on MCA and, later, Warner Bros. and PRA have generally favored a very lyrical and introspective jazz-pop approach. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
Anyone got some recommendations for me this week?

A weekend away for the Silly O’clock Crew we decided to venture up to Scotland to meet up with our good friends and Scotland’s finest explorers Baron Scotland, Stussy and Sickbag Scattergun. Destination number 1 was the infamous RCH Asylum. Crack of dawn was our choice time for approach and after an epic marathon drive up there we finally got our feet inside some abandonment :). The place is pretty big and features a nice main hall with a great skylight, secret / hidden corridors, a couple of nice wheelchairs, lots of corridors (An asylum standard 😉 ), Working electricity in some parts and a snooker table for a nice break and relaxation time between photos :).
In addition to our seasoned Scottish tour guides we had Beardy, Dystopia, Sonyes and Mr Costello in tow. Huge thanks to Stussy for the access assistance and the proper guided tour including the hard to find bits :D. There is a possibility that some footage from this explore might surface on youtube if I get around to editing it, my video backlog is getting out of control now 🙂 until then enjoy the photographs:
Finally a bit of mucking around for a self portrait!

Escondido, California (PRWEB) January 26, 2014 -- Did you know 80 percent of dogs and cats over the age of 3 suffer from moderate to severe dental disease? If left untreated, this can cause significant discomfort for your pet and possibly lead to larger systematic problems such as gum and heart diseases.
Dog and cat dental problems are not always noticeable to the untrained eye. Here are 5 important signs to look for regarding your pet’s oral health.
1) Bad breath is not normal! Foul smelling breath is a likely sign that bacteria is trapped in the mouth. It’s best to bring your animal in for a checkup and professional cleaning when you first notice an unusual odor.
2) Loose, broken or missing teeth: If you have found your pet has loose or missing teeth, this is often a major indicator of a more serious problem. Loose or broken teeth can lead to bacterial infections spreading from the root of one of the teeth to the rest of your pet's mouth.
3) Difficulty eating: If you pet is struggling to eat, it may be because if inflammation caused by an oral infection. Even if a pet’s most recent dental checkup came back clear, it’s a smart idea to have a dog or cat checked when they have stopped eating is this is usually a later sign that indicates a more progressive disease.
4) Red, swollen or bleeding gums: If you examine your pet’s gums and find that they are red, swollen or even bleeding, this inflammation is likely caused by an infection.
5) Yellow or brown stained teeth: Dog and cat dental stains are one of the first signs of a dental problem. This is caused by tartar buildup which brings bacteria and leads to infections, inflammation, and bleeding in the gums. If addressed promptly with a professional dental cleaning, it can usually be nipped in the bud.
If you notice any of the above signs, contact the friendly and knowledgeable staff at Parkway Pet Clinic to immediately schedule an appointment. All dog and cat dentals performed by Parkway Pet Clinic include digital dental X-rays and tooth-by-tooth assessments by our Veterinarian and professional staff who has advanced training in dentistry.

“Local governments are competing to be the most progressive, the most innovative, to lure the most Millennials and to be at the forefront of the new American 21st century city.”
By Nicole DuPuis.
Gabe Klein has worked his entire career in the transportation business, switching between the private and public sectors. He headed both Chicago and Washington, D.C.’s Transportation Departments, and prior to that worked for several private sector companies, including Zipcar.
He now works as a Special Venture Partner at a venture capital firm that funds next generation mobility companies, and advises a cadre of startups. His unique experiences in different sectors have led him to see the immense value in both public and private contributions to urban development — but even more so in cross-sector partnership.
Klein has seen a change in the way cities think about land use, public space and transportation, and also in the way they partner with businesses and NGOs to improve the quality of life of their residents.
“Local governments are competing to be the most progressive, the most innovative, to lure the most Millennials, and to be at the forefront of the new American 21st century city,” says Klein.
Public-private partnerships (P3s) have been most successful overseas, but they are starting to be implemented in the United States as well. For example, the city of Chicago has successfully implemented several P3s to improve its transportation network. Beginning in 2003, the city coordinated a partnership called the Chicago Regional Environmental and Transportation Efficiency (CREATE) program. This arrangement between the U.S. Department of Transportation, the City of Chicago Department of Transportation, the Illinois Department of Transportation, Metra, Amtrak and six private freight railroads aims to address necessary infrastructure improvements, increase Chicago’s freight and passenger rail capacity, and ease congestion throughout the region’s transportation network.
The city of Chicago also leased its parking garage and meter systems out to private partners, and in doing so was able to pay off some of the debt acquired in building Chicago’s famous Millennium Park. Because they are becoming more politically palatable, U.S. cities will begin working with the private sector to jointly fund their transportation projects. There will be an uptick in the application of P3 arrangements for toll roads, parking structures, and other major infrastructure assets that fall outside the traditional purview of city management.
Cities have begun pushing the envelope more, not only in terms of transportation planning but also implementation. The levers of government are being used more effectively in partnerships with the private sector. Together, the two entities are leveraging each other’s strengths.
These partnerships have helped with financing, as cities can now utilize not only federal money but both private and philanthropic dollars. The time is past due to rebuild existing infrastructure, and we all realize that it must be rebuilt in a much more resilient way.
The price tag is mind numbing, but it is critical to the vibrancy of our cities. Today’s modern mayors get the connection between land use, transportation, housing and employment. Long range plans are more coordinated, but harder to implement given the outdated and shabby state of many of our cities’ infrastructure.
Cities will need to rely on outside partners and embrace innovation if they want to remain at the cutting edge. Mr. Klein notes that “there is a great deal of innovation coming out of the private sector and government has started embracing it and applying it in ways that meets civic needs and goals.”
He imagines a scenario in which city governments could provide the framework for the changes they want to see, ensuring service equity, job creation, and safety, and letting the private sector fulfill the service role.

Biffa has been at the forefront of the UK’s waste industry for over a hundred years, with operations that span the entire breadth of the waste management process including collection, reuse, recycling, treatment, disposal and energy generation.
Pure Office Solutions Ltd were given a design brief To fully refurbish and redesign the offices on the first floor in Wednesbury offices and transform in into a modern, bright and spacious working areas for staff.
This included stripping down the whole office to open up the space. The ground floor toilets also needed a refresh in this project. This project for refurbishments has to be done in phases as the offices will have to be a working office while the refurbishments are on-going.
Pure Office Solutions Ltd has done the project in 4 phases over 6 weeks as everything has to be operational.
Phase one and two involved closing off half of the open plan office with plastic sheeting one side at a time to do the dilapidation works including stripping out existing glass partitions to add more floor area to the open plan office, ripping out existing carpet and ceiling tiles and dispose of existing furniture.
New carpet flooring was laid out, new ceiling tiles and LED lighting has also been put in place to brighten up the office space.
Painting and decorating throughout the office floor was also done in sections to refresh all the office areas.
New network and power points has also been put in place.
New air-conditioning was installed in the first floor offices to improve temperature regulation and ventilation in the office.
The third phase involved rebuilding 4 new offices with stud walls, brand-new flooring, lighting and ceiling tiles.
New bench desking with grey divider screens was installed throughout the open office while the offices had some corner desks and round meeting tables. Each member of staff had their own lockers for personal items in the locker wall at the end of the office. Brand new venetian blinds in silver perforated finish was installed to all windows.
The last stage of this project was refurbishing the ground floor toilets with new vanity units and cubicles that matched the company colours. The end result was a brand new looking, spacious and well-ventilated office floor that goes well with the corporate branding. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In her latest I Love This Quilt feature, Gigi Levsen puts a fresh spin on the Clarkson Crossing quilt. Keep reading to discover her creative reimagining and the inspiration behind this stunning design.
Have you been enjoying the Winter 2025 issue of McCall’s Quilting? It’s out now in digital and print editions. Now that gift-making time is squarely upon us, you may want to check it out and get some ideas for holiday décor, gift giving, or simply to stoke the festive fire of your Christmas Spirit!
It’s stuffed with sensational seasonal quilt projects of all sorts, along with plenty of snuggly quilt patterns that look so appealing as the weather gets chilly. One of the patterns in the magazine is from the archives and I made a new, updated version of it for our regular I Love This Quilt feature, where we select an old, favorite pattern to remake.
Using our classic Clarkson Crossing pattern, designed by Julia LaBauve and Tammy Silvers, I made a new quilt top, using The Ombre Confetti collection by V & Co. for Moda Fabrics, as this line of fabric can make every pattern pretty exciting. The pattern has lots of long strips to make the blocks, and there are only two blocks. You make three of each block, plus 3 horizontal sashes and pieced, mitered borders. When everything is sewn together it looks like strips of fabric are weaving under and over another, even across the borders! It’s so cool and modern looking, while being so quick and simple to sew.
The main thing I had to figure out when I started is how exactly to use my ombre fabric to best advantage. I essentially assigned each print in the pattern a corresponding color from my new fabrics and just laid out the first two blocks to see how I liked the placement.
If you look closely, you can see that the strips are actually piles of strips, so once I finalize my decisions, I can start sewing the blocks together right away. You may notice I made a small but significant change to the construction of both blocks; for the longest strips that run across the length and width of the blocks, I made that strip a single patch, rather than piecing it as the pattern does. So, for example, instead of cutting a black 16½” strip, and 2 black 4½” squares, I cut one black strip at 24½” long. I wanted as few seams as possible to avoid breaking up the print.
I swapped a strip or two once everything was laid out to optimize the color placement. I went through a few options to get to my final choice. Then I could just start sewing strips together! Wherever two strips of the same color are sewn together, like for the borders, I tried to match the same part of the print on the adjoining patches so that it looks like a single strip sitting on top of the piecing.
Once I finalized the block layouts, I could move onto the pieced horizontal sashes that act as a transition between blocks, and as an additional design element by introducing a new fabric. The chartreuse really makes the jewel tones pop, I think!
On the center sash I made a change from the original pattern and put a chartreuse square on one edge, instead of a pink one, simply because I would have had to cut a whole extra pink strip just to get one square. So impractical! And the chartreuse looks great. No one would have ever noticed the swap if I hadn’t mentioned it.
As a long twin size quilt, this pattern is perfect for making a personalized dorm quilt. The options for personalizing the design are pretty much endless; the wide, long strips are great for showing off novelty prints that reflect someone’s personality. Stripes would be so cool, too! It can be hard to look past the fabrics and colors in a featured quilt to see all the design possibilities contained within the construction, but it’s well worth it! Quilt patterns can tell one how to make a specific quilt, certainly, but also provide opportunities to make dozens of unique, beautiful, one-of-a-kind quilts; the only limit is your imagination (and your fabric stash, LOL!).

Tieline’s ViA portable codec supports IP, POTS, ISDN, data aggregation (Fuse-IP bonding) and redundant IP streaming (SmartStream PLUS).
The company says it has integrated “market-leading” record and playback functionality into the codec, so operators can do away with outboard gear and stream live audio, play pre-recorded files and record live audio at any remote location.
In addition, specifies Tieline, ViA features flexible touch screen record and playback functions that allow users to select input sources to record; view and manage recordings; create playlists of local recordings and imported files; control playback routing to specified codec encoders, as well as analog and digital outputs; and produce and record broadcast quality podcasts to removable media.
Users can connect and stream audio using dual LAN Ethernet ports, or two USB cellular modems, use an optional internal LTE module, or connect with built-in Wi-Fi. By inserting an optional POTS or ISDN module, the codec can also connect over alternative network transports. It is thus possible to configure primary and backup connections over different network transports as required, or use them as one’s IFB circuit. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Summary of the Quarter's Activities
There were three types of groups formed for this quarter's activities: working with Teresa online, playing in a small in-person group, and playing online using Jamulus/JamKazam. Here are the summaries of these groups.
1. A online study/play group that Teresa hosted:
Teresa had a total of 10 people in a small ensemble (2 flutes, 3 violins, 3 celli and one horn) that rehearsed Haydn’s London Trio No. 1. They had weekly Zoom meetings with the following activities: Group score study, brief reports on the composer and/or musical style period, and playing together, where an individual played while others played along muted. Other activities included playing along to a YouTube performances of the composition, and working in breakout rooms of groups of 2-4 musicians. They also had one sectional per instrumental group.
2. Two in-person string groups:
A. Bruce's quartet: First, we organized a string quartet which was going to meet in person in my studio. We have been meeting weekly on Tuesday nights, and have had one coached session with another scheduled. We are playing Lars Eric Larsson’s Intimate Miniatures for string quartet. Our goal is to record the piece and also to play as the preview group to an upcoming Rain City Symphony Concert. The found playing on Zoom together is not satisfying.
B. Gennie's quartet: This group met at the Music Center of the Northwest once a week. At first they had five people, then one person dropped out. They continued to sight read music with the remaining players and enjoyed getting together.
C. Jamulus/JamKazam group: Bruce helped organize orchestra members to learn how to play together online. They worked with each other to purchase equipment, install software, and join together playing. Most weeks, 8-12 of us joined using Zoom on Wednesdays evenings, then moved to music software JamKazam or Jamulus. It took weeks of practice to get good sound from their instruments to the cloud where it finally joined with the stream of notes coming from our friends. They have had more than 20 different people learning how to stream their music and playing together at different times. Most agreed that it was a very worthwhile experience.
Activities for Next Quarter
In person string orchestra meeting will depend on the State's health mandates. We'll have to be flexible about meeting. The online group will continue Winter quarter. The repertoire will depend on who shows up.
2. Small Groups
The small groups will continue. Gennie was disappointed that not all people could be put in a group. It would be more successful if people would place themselves in a group and finding a safe location.
3. Jamulus/JamKazam Group
The groups need to be smaller say 3-6 people. Steve Marx is willing to help with the music and the need proper equipment. Those who want to play and need help deciding what equipment to purchase.
Next Board Meeting
The next Board Meeting will be Wednesday, December 2, 2020 7:00 pm via Zoom. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Superb, create-your-own Mediterranean cuisine. Prepared fresh daily. Not your average gas station food, located in the Mobil gas station is downtown Lake Orion.
Don't sleep on this little spot! The lady who made my food was seriously the best so nice! And the food was incredible, one of the best falafel I've had! 🔥 🔥
Have heard great things about this place over the years and the reviews are solid so hopefully was just an off day but was enough to never try again. First did a quick look on google then on there facebook page. 39.99 for a 4 person combo seemed like worth trying and assuming the menu could be pre covid was prepared for it to be a little more. Total was almost 80 dollars with a large fattoush!? I could go to a real restaurant for that. I would of been ok with it if the food was to par but it was not good. Chicken and beef shawarma was tender but dry as if kept in warmer for way to long, tasted if you were to cook in a sous vide for too long and not sear it afterward. Falafel was hard as a rock and very dry. Salad wasn't touched due to slimy cucumbers hidden throughout, lettuce looked ok. Sam was nice and offered a new salad when I called to just make sure I heard the cashier correctly on the total. Just not worth the premium price they are charging.
Real fresh med food. Full menu starters to dessert. Super staff. Generous servings and fair prices. Eat in or carry out. A hidden gem across m24 from Oxford 7 movies. This place is a keeper.
Awesome food! All of our guests raved about their meals. The salads and tabbouli were crisp and fresh; meat was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Plus, the employees were very friendly and even helped us load our vehicle. Must try!
Great food. It is in the Mobil station so not much of atmosphere. Totally a hidden gem. The server was great to talk to. Definitely will go back of I am going through that area.

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that treats conditions and diseases of the supporting structures of the teeth, especially the gums. Periodontists commonly treat severe cases of oral inflammation including gum disease.
Periodontal treatment is concerned with keeping the gums and bone around the teeth healthy. This involves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal, or gum disease. Periodontists perform various procedures on the gums and surrounding tissue within the mouth.
Most periodontal treatments focus on treating gum or periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is an advanced stage of gum disease caused by a build-up of plaque and bacteria between the teeth and gums. When left untreated, the gums become swollen and infected and may bleed easily. As gum disease progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult and painful to treat. Periodontal disease can also lead to tooth loss.
Plaque Control Treatment
Most cases of periodontal disease develop because of bacterial plaque that builds up on the teeth over time. When it is not removed, plaque hardens and causes tartar to develop, which cannot be removed through brushing at home. The tissues and bone that support the teeth are gradually destroyed by this process.
A dentist or periodontist can perform a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums which can assist in controlling the spread of plaque and bacteria in the mouth. This type of professional cleaning should be performed every six months to ensure healthy teeth and gums.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
A patient is normally referred to a periodontist to treat periodontal disease. Treatment may include:
Scaling and root planing -A deep-cleaning method that removes bacteria from below the gum line and the tooth root.
Medication – Antibiotics or antimicrobial medications may be used to fight infection and reduce the size of the gum pockets that have occurred because of periodontitis.
Surgery – If other methods of treatment are ineffective, flap surgery may be performed to lift away gum tissue so that it can be cleaned underneath. Gum or bone grafts may also be performed to help regenerate any bone or gum tissue that may have been damaged or lost due to periodontitis.
Patients can reduce their risk of developing gum disease by practicing proper oral hygiene. This includes thoroughly brushing the teeth at least twice a day and flossing at least once a day. Eating a balanced diet and avoiding smoking can also help maintain dental health. Seeing a dentist for a professional cleaning on a regular basis is essential to maintaining good dental as they can remove plaque and other substances that have built up on the teeth over time. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Practical guidance for the management of adults with immune thrombocytopenia during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pavord S., Thachil J., Hunt BJ., Murphy M., Lowe G., Laffan M., Makris M., Newland AC., Provan D., Grainger JD., Hill QA.
This document aims to provide practical guidance for the assessment and management of patients with thrombocytopenia, with a particular focus on immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), during the COVID-19 pandemic. The intention is to support clinicians and, although recommendations have been provided, it is not a formal guideline. Nor is there sufficient evidence base to conclude that alternative approaches to treatment are incorrect. Instead, it is a consensus written by clinicians with an interest in ITP or coagulation disorders and reviewed by members of the UK ITP forum. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I wrote about the collaboration between Best Buy and Sony last June when it was announced at the CE Week event. The press release said that some 70 Magnolia Design Centers would have dedicated areas for the latest Sony hi-res audio gear including headphones, headphones amplifiers, music servers, and speakers. The marketing push for high-resolution audio is just about to hit high gear. After all, the holiday shopping season is already in full swing and who doesn’t want to get their hands on the latest hi-res audio equipment?
The announcement also said, “Customers will be able to demo a selection of high-res audio clips, and the stations will promote a variety of high-res recordings from Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group that are available through participating digital music download providers.” The usual digital music download providers are the usual sites…HDtracks, ProStudioMasters, SuperHiRez, Qobuz, PonoMusic, and HighReMusic.
So if you were in charge of securing the content for these Magnolia locations, what music would you choose too show off the benefits of high-resolution audio equipment?
If you visit the Sony site that suggests where to “purchase and enjoy” high-resolution audio files, you won’t find HDtracks or PonoMusic. I talked about their recommendations some time ago. They list 2L, iTrax, Linn, Blue Coast, Native DSD, and Naim. The reason is simple…the recordings that you can download from these sites easily eclipse the fidelity of just about any recording licensed from the major labels. If Best Buy and Sony really want to demonstrate the improvements offered by the latest hifi gear, they should get their hands on some recordings that actually are high-resolution.
Mike Crane, the audio director of Magnolia said, “The addition of high-res music stations offers fans of high-resolution music the chance to experience the next wave of audio technology.” I agree there’s a chance that fans will be able to hear better sound but a very slim one. It could happen if a consumer brings in a bona fide high-resolution audio recording from one of the sites mentioned above. On the other hand, if the repertoire comes from the major labels, there is virtually no chance that consumers will feel engaged with fidelity that is indistinguishable from what they’re used to.
There is a large gap between what Sony’s new hardware can deliver and the fidelity of the tracks that will be recommended by retailers and the major labels. In my opinion, over promising and under delivering will continue to disappoint those that the industry should be trying to impress. But would Best Buy or CE companies consider playing real high-resolution content in their new demo locations? No, they wouldn’t. They have “experts” that will tell them what they should play. And they’ll do what they’re told. And they will fail.
So music fans will get the chance to hear some “hi-res” Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Diana Krall, and The Police through headphones and marginal quality speaker systems. I wish I could do a brief exit poll as the customers leave the Magnolia stores. “So what did you think of high-resolution audio?” “You want to know the truth…it sounded great but not really any different than what I’m used to.” And they’d be right.
Wouldn’t it be better to blow them away with new hi-res music? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The conductor in these cables is made of copper or aluminium, while the insulation is dry, which makes them safer and more sustainable than those using fluid oil. The most commonly used materials are XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) and EPR (ethylene-propylene rubber).
The three-core cable composition continues with an armour (mechanical protection) and outer sheath wires, both common to all three phases.
Once laid on the seabed, these cables are protected to avoid damage from external threats. Techniques like jetting (for sandy substrates), trenching (in rocky areas), concrete mattresses, or metal shells are used for this purpose. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A credit union that enjoys an exemption from federal taxes has bought the naming rights to a 5,000-seat theater in downtown Phoenix, continuing a trend among large credit unions to stray far away from the modest mission established for the industry by Congress years ago, in favor of aggressive market expansion.
Arizona Federal Credit Union, which holds more than $1.7 billion in assets, supplanted Comerica Bank as the naming sponsor of the venue, which was renamed Arizona Federal Theatre this week. Earlier this month, Arizona FCU also announced its plans to retire the name of another financial institution, Pinnacle Bank, which it acquired. That deal, which will take Pinnacle off the federal tax rolls, is expected to be completed in 2020.
According to a recent letter from a credit union trade association to the chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, “The structure and mission that Congress has established for credit unions are the foundation of the corporate income tax treatment to which credit unions are subject. Credit unions have a statutory mission to promote thrift and provide access to credit for provident purposes.”
For the large credit unions that are increasingly swallowing up smaller credit unions and banks, the mission has morphed into splashy marketing tactics, such as naming professional sports arenas and theaters.
The Credit Union Times reports that Arizona Federal is the second large credit union to announce a naming deal this fall. In October, the $4.8 billion Desert Financial Federal Credit Union announced it bought the rights to put its name on Arizona State University’s University Activities Center, home to the school’s basketball, wrestling, gymnastics and volleyball teams. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

MTB Rush shorts are a great value! They are light weight and look good. I wear 32" jeans and typically wear a 34 in the MSR Moto Pants, I bought the 34" waist size. They fit well, I do have them cinched all the way up. I probably could have gotten the 32"... next time. The two zippered pockets are great for wallet or phone.

I have been wearing shorts during the warmer months for a few years now while riding dirt bikes. Usually, I buy Dickies carpenter shorts to ride in but I thought I'd give a pair of MB shorts a try. I wear Asterisk knee braces and my Gaerne SG12 are tall boots so I don't worry about my legs being exposed. One difference I noticed with the 100% shorts is that they are tighter around the legs at the bottom than the Dickies. Overall they worked out as they should and they fit well. Definitely will still ride with them in the future.

Our learning mentors are fully trained members of staff who help identified pupils to address barriers (and potential barriers) to learning through supportive one-to-one relationships and sometimes small group work.
Learning mentors help students develop coping strategies, enhance their motivation, raise their aspirations and encourage them to re-engage in learning. To work effectively, learning mentors have to take into account the range of complex issues that usually lay behind problems with learning and achievement (eg bereavement, lack of confidence/low self-esteem, low aspirations, mental health issues, relationship difficulties, bullying, peer pressure, family issues/concerns).
Learning mentors will often have to:
- offer a sympathetic ear to young people with a range of behavioural, emotional and learning difficulties
- relate to young people with a wide range of abilities and often from diverse social backgrounds
- jointly develop plans of action to help young people overcome barriers to achieving their full potential
- liaise with parents and carers
- work closely with other professionals, like social workers, educational psychologists and education welfare officers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
One of the most important steps for our process to go smoothly throughout the project relies on in depth communication with the client and surveying the environment and use of the panel. Upon initial contact we always encourage face to face interactions with our clients for meetings where possible as we believe this is where trust is built. At Roomfoss we pride our project flexibility to best suit our clients’ requirements. Dealing with bespoke projects daily contributes massively to our ability in provide efficient and detailed surveys. Upon the completion of surveys, our proficient estimating team takes over. Leveraging their expertise, they review the gathered data to assess project requirements and potential costs, producing a cost-effective quote for both us and the client.
At Roomfoss, the design process is our cornerstone, blending innovation with precision. Our team are experts in balancing client requirements and industry standards, fostering the mentality of efficiency and practically. Through thousands of projects our engineers refine their designs to ensure they not only meet but exceed expectations, harmonising features, usability, and technical feasibility. Our commitment to attention to detail in our design sets the foundation for the entire project.
Following the completion of drawings, the next step involves ordering the necessary parts and materials. Our manufacturing team initiates the panel-building process, maintaining close communication with our workshop manager and design engineers. This collaborative approach ensures the seamless execution of the manufacturing process, with each team member contributing their expertise to deliver high-quality control systems. Our multi-skilled workforce ensure continuity throughout a project.
In the background of the previous steps, our software team will assist to ensure the control equipment is best suited for the project and communicate with the client to secure the most ideal functionality of the panel. Once the manufacturing process has started, our software engineers will begin writing the bespoke software keeping in line with process specification. Common practice invites the customer to review any user interfacing such as HMIs to guarantee customer satisfaction.
Once the panel is built, extensive testing is carried out by our manufacturing team providing full documentation regarding, cosmetic condition, fabrication, accessibility, wiring and equipment function. Once this initial testing is complete, the project is handed over to the software team to download and test software using external simulation. We will always offer an in-person factory acceptance test, repeating all testing procedures or any specific function the client would like to see. Our software engineers can then prove full functionality on site, including manuals, documentation and site training with an official handover. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A neighborhood in Houston is turning to drones to augment their first responders, with a drone that is deployed to certain events after a 911 call is received.
Thanks to a private-public partnership with new startup Paladin Drones, the latest way of responding to certain calls — including home alarms being set off and accidents — is by air and within a matter of seconds.
“Now, we can have part of our first responding, in this case a drone, on scene overhead in 15 to 20 seconds,” Police Chief Ray Schultz said.
In addition to the faster response time, the drone is also well-equipped and can stream back video in real time.
“The software that we built allows any first responders to get a live overhead view of an emergency before they actually arrive,” CEO of Paladin Drones Divyaditya Shrivastava said.
The onboard camera is also able to provide help in the dark.
“Incidents at night or an incident where there are fire, that thermal camera can actually pick up heat signatures,” Shrivastava said.
“(It’s) pretty unique technology,” Mark Kobelan said.
Kobelan, the mayor of Piney Point Village, recently had to call police for a possible suspicious person. Within seconds, a drone was overhead.
“I think it’s fabulous. It protects the police, and it protects the citizens. If I was a bad guy, I’d be thinking twice about coming to Piney Point Village,” Kobelan said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

[Ebook] The Potential of Android-Powered Enterprise Devices
The following is an excerpt from our ebook, “Android: The Enterprise-Ready
Platform For Rugged Mobility.” Download the full ebook to learn more about how the Android revolution can transform your business.
Why Android Has Replaced Windows CE
The Android enterprise revolution has begun. Three converging developments are driving the growing adoption of Android rugged mobile devices across diverse industries, from utilities and energy to supply chain and public safety sectors. As these paradigm shifts become more widespread, companies are embracing Android as a true enterprise-ready platform.
One development is the prospect of device end of life for many fleets of rugged dedicated handhelds now that Windows CE has reached the end of support. Enterprises still operating these aging fleets are looking at Android enterprise mobility solutions as they consider what’s next in supporting mobile workers in harsh environments.
Adoption of Android across Enterprise Devices On The Rise
The adoption of Android in the enterprise is strong and growing. According to an IDC survey, Android rugged devices are forecasted to grow 23% through 2021 — which is five times the rate of the rugged market overall. That means Android will be the dominant rugged device OS in the enterprise through 2022.1 Additionally, a survey focused on rugged devices in the warehouse, from industry multimedia publication DC Velocity, found that 56 percent of respondents said they planned to increase their use of Android devices.
Concurrent with the phaseout of Windows CE, Google has extended its Android Enterprise Recommended program to include rugged devices, addressing the increased security and manageability that enterprises require. And device manufacturers are leveraging new technology to equip Android rugged devices with additional capabilities, including more computing power, redundant connectivity, sensors, cameras, advanced scanners, and long battery life.
The result, whether you’re shopping for a new enterprise rugged mobility solution or replacing existing, outdated hardware, is the opportunity to rethink how you are equipping your mobile workforce to be more productive. Moreover, more powerful devices and apps, a flexible operating system, and always-on communications make it possible to integrate mobility platforms with data-driven digital transformation initiatives.
In this ebook from Panasonic, discover how why Android supports enterprise technology needs, and how you can implement Android technology across your business. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
RUSH: By the way, our computer model audience estimates show 42 million people tuning into the EIB Network. That’s according to the latest models. We have our own models. We plug in our own data, and that’s what they’re showing. “But, Rush! But, Rush! You said there were 42 million last week.”
That’s right. It’s 42 million and holding steady. We’re not getting greedy. We’re not getting greedy. It’s 42 million. “But, Rush! But, Rush! The newspapers and the media all say 15 million.” It’s a bogus number. That number is a wild guess by a trade paper. That’s why the media cites it. You would think they would cite the numbers that we give them. But nooo. No, they cite some trade paper.
The trade paper that puts out audience figures doesn’t have access to the numbers, folks. You have to pay for that. They get their number by whatever data is shared with them by various industry people. We haven’t been at 15 million since the early nineties. Fifteen million is comparatively low — and there’s nobody at 14 million either. That’s another thing they get wrong.
Not that it matters. I’m not trying to sound like Trump here. But our latest models show 42 million people. (interruption) What? (interruption) Why are you laughing in there? Snerdley is just getting the biggest thrill out of this. (interruption) Oh, no, we haven’t reached peak! There’s no way. We’re… No. But we’re not trying to flatten the curve.
That’s the difference in our models. Our models, we’re not trying to affect behavior at all other than constant listening. But we’re not flattening the curve. No, as I say, just like the COVID-19 modelers and just the climate change guys, we are in charge of the data that we put in, so we get whatever result we want.
If I feel like 45 million people are listening tomorrow, then I will make sure that the model gets the data input to create that number, and then I will come here and tell you, “Guess what, folks? We got three million new people from yesterday to today. Audience figures according to our model estimates are at 45 million,” and who’s gonna dispute me? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

ThinKom Wideband phased-array satellite antenna selected for MQ-4C Triton surrogate
ThinKom Solutions, Inc., has announced that Northrop Grumman has specified a ThinAir® Ka2517 phased-array satellite antenna to provide beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) connectivity for its MQ-4C Triton flying test bed (FTB).
Northrop Grumman uses a twin-engine Gulfstream IV as an FTB for the U.S. Navy’s MQ-4C Triton autonomous high-altitude, long-endurance maritime surveillance system. The FTB is outfitted with the core mission payload capabilities that are on the Triton unmanned aircraft and is used to demonstrate current capabilities, provide risk reduction for new capabilities and serve as a developmental test bed for emerging capabilities.
Based on ThinKom’s patented VICTS* technology, the Ka2517 is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) wideband satellite antenna system, which provides global pole-to-pole in-flight connectivity with extremely high throughput rates using military and commercial Ka-band satellite networks. Ka2517s are operational on hundreds of commercial airliners and military aircraft with industry-leading MTBF metrics.
“The Ka2517 antenna is modem- and network-agnostic, enabling voice, data and streaming video with seamless interoperability on GEO and NGSO constellations. It also has the RF performance to operate effectively using frequency-hopping protected waveforms and supports industry-leading low probability of intercept (LPI) and low probability of detection (LPD) requirements,” said Bill Milroy, CTO and chairman of ThinKom.
Initial flights of the Triton FTB with the ThinKom antenna are expected to take place in the second quarter of 2022. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The real estate industry is one of the most important industries for an investor. And a real estate agent acts as a middleman between the customer and a realtor. How does a real estate agent work? They work with teams of several essential persons, like managers, administrative assistants, showing assistants, etc., to provide the best investment opportunities to their clients.
But who is a showing assistant? A real estate showing assistant works under the realtor and has a vital role in selling and buying. They are an invaluable partner in helping you get the highest expected returns for your house and ensure that everything runs smoothly during the sale. Showing agents are essential in ensuring the property gets prospective clients.
As a realtor, you need them on your team for overall productivity and many other crucial reasons discussed below.
Showing Agents Schedule Showings for Buyers and Sellers
Showing agents are a vital part of the real estate process. They help schedule showings when buyers and sellers meet to look at properties. They can also help you decide who should see your property and when to make an appointment for them.
They will also ensure that they only show your house to those who have expressed interest in buying a particular type of property like yours using an online form provided by listing agents.
Provide Feedback on the Condition of Your Property
Since a real estate showing assistant is directly connected to the clients, they will know what buyers are looking for and can give you a real-time assessment of the condition of your property. They will also see if it’s priced correctly and if any repairs need to be done.
Help You Discover Potential Problems
If you are planning to sell properties, hiring a professional showing agent is crucial. A showing agent offers many services, but one of the most important ones is helping you discover potential problems with your property. This helps them determine if any issues need to be addressed before putting your property up for sale. If there are any problems, such as mold or plumbing leaks, it’s best to get them fixed before placing an advertisement online or in print media.
Help You Create a Showing Strategy
“Showings” are the appointments that you make with potential buyers. It is when a potential buyer visits your property and decides whether they want to buy it. When an agent books a showing for you, it’s their job to prepare your property to look its best when people come through.
When selling a property, it can sometimes become complicated and overwhelming, and you’re not sure what to expect or do to prepare for the process. A showing agent can help you about selling a property and provide tips on making it as smooth as possible.
A showing assistant’s primary duty is to take your customers on property tours. They will learn about a client’s requirements and spending limits, find properties that fit those requirements, and arrange meetings to view those properties. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Jupiter: Friend Or Foe?
- August 25, 2007
- European Planetology Network
- The traditional belief that Jupiter acts as a celestial shield, deflecting asteroids and comets away from the inner solar system, has been challenged by the first in a series of studies evaluating the impact risk to the Earth posed by different groups of object. Astronomers now note the impact hazard posed to Earth by the Centaurs, the parent population of the Jupiter Family of comets. The presence of a Jupiter-like planet in the solar system does not necessarily lead to a lower impact rate at the Earth.
The traditional belief that Jupiter acts as a celestial shield, deflecting asteroids and comets away from the inner Solar System, has been challenged by the first in a series of studies evaluating the impact risk to the Earth posed by different groups of object.
On Friday 24th August at the European Planetary Science Congress in Potsdam, Dr Jonathan Horner presented a study of the impact hazard posed to Earth by the Centaurs, the parent population of the Jupiter Family of comets (JFCs). The results show that the presence of a Jupiter-like planet in the Solar System does not necessarily lead to a lower impact rate at the Earth.
Dr Horner, from the UK's Open University (OU), said, "The idea that a Jupiter-like planet plays an important role in lessening the impact risk on potentially habitable planets is a common belief but there has only really been one study done on this in the past, which looked at the hazard due to the Long Period Comets. We are carrying out an ongoing series of studies of the impact risks in planetary systems, starting off by looking at our own Solar System, since we know the most about it!"
The team at the OU developed a computer model that could track the paths of 100,000 Centaurs around the Solar System over 10 million years. The simulation was run five times: once with Jupiter at its current mass, once without a Jupiter, and then with planets of three-quarters, a half and a quarter the mass of Jupiter (for comparison, Saturn is about a third of the mass of Jupiter). The team found that the impact rate in a Solar System with a planet like our Jupiter is about comparable to the case where there is no Jupiter at all. However, when the mass of Jupiter was between these two extremes, the Earth suffered an increased number of impacts from the JFCs.
Dr Horner said, "We've found that if a planet about the mass of Saturn or a bit larger occupied Jupiter's place, then the number of impacts on Earth would increase. However if nothing was there at all, there wouldn't be any difference from our current impact rate. Rather than it being a clear cut case that Jupiter acts as a shield, it seems that Jupiter almost gives with one hand and takes away with the other!"
The study shows that if there is no giant planet present, the JFCs will not be diverted onto Earth-crossing orbits, so the impact rate at the Earth is low. A Saturn-mass planet would have the gravitational pull to inject objects onto Earth-crossing orbits, but would not be massive enough to easily eject objects from the Solar System. This means that there would be more objects on Earth-crossing orbits at any given time, and therefore more impacts.
However, a planet with Jupiter's vast mass can give objects the gravitational boost to eject them from the Solar System. Therefore, if Jupiter deflects JFCs to an Earth-crossing orbit, it may well later sweep them right out of the Solar System and off the collision course with the Earth.
The group is now assessing the impact risk posed to the Earth by the Asteroids and will go on to study the Long Period Comets, before examining the role of the position of Jupiter within our system.
Jupiter family of comets
The Jupiter Family of Comets (JFCs) are short period comets with an orbital period of less than 20 years. Their orbits are controlled by Jupiter and they are believed to originate from the Kuiper Belt, a vast population of small icy bodies that orbit just beyond Neptune. Famous JFCs include Comet 81P/Wild 2, which was encountered by the Stardust spacecraft in January 2004 and Comet Shoemaker Levy-9, which broke up and collided with Jupiter in July 1994.

Police patrol the Afghan capital on a warm Sunday, but not to hunt extremists.
Instead, they are deflating the tyres of parked cars — a theft prevention tactic that is raising eyebrows as the country struggles to contain the growing menace of petty crime.
Kabul and its estimated five million inhabitants are at war, a prime target for Taliban-led insurgent attacks as well as assaults by a nascent Islamic State.
The capital’s fledgling police force are under pressure to prevent atrocities, so — short on time and resources — they have taken a scorched earth approach when it comes to tackling more routine petty crime.
The logic is indisputable: if the car cannot be moved, it cannot be stolen.
“Police politely ask the residents to not park their cars in the open… but when they prefer to pay no heed, then police may move in to remove the air nozzles as a last measure,” says Feraidoon Obaidi, chief of Kabul police’s criminal investigation department.
“We can protect people from both the thieves and the terrorists,” he says.
“But they should know how much energy we have to put in to stop terrorists in the city. By leaving their cars in the open, they are inviting thieves.”
A series of attacks have ripped across Kabul in recent months, jihadists armed with bombs and guns killing dozens of people, including the assault targeting Shiites during the Ashura festival earlier in October that left 14 people dead.
Most have been carried out by the resurgent Taliban, including attacks on a global charity and a university as well as twin blasts in September that killed 41 people.
The Ashura attack was claimed by Islamic State. In July, the Middle East jihadist group, which is struggling to gain a foothold in Afghanistan, claimed bombings that tore through minority Shiite Hazara protesters in Kabul, killing 84 people in the deadliest attack in the capital since 2001.
Official data shows up to 300 cars were stolen in Kabul’s streets from March to July — slightly down from last year, but still frustrating for police.
“In some cases they work in gangs, while others work individually snatching cars, especially (the ones) that can easily be unlocked,” says Kabir Ahmad Barmak, chief of Kabul’s eleventh district police.
“They snatch cars parked in vacant streets especially at night, and sometimes turn them into spare parts,” Barmak says, adding police have been forced to use valuable resources on special mobile patrols to tackle the problem.
Officers used to simply slash the tyres, but now take the slightly more considerate route of removing the air nozzles instead.
“When you see these thieves lurking in dark and people recklessly leaving their cars in the open, it makes you think, best way to protect is to damage the tyres,” says another officer in the district, who requested anonymity.
“It is working,” he adds with a triumphant smile. “Fewer people today leave their cars on streets than before.”
But the tactic is angering a public frustrated with the inconvenience and financial burden of repeated repairs.
“Should one expect the police to serve or to hurt?” says Akbar, a customer at a tyre repairing unit on the roadside outside central Kabul’s “Bush Bazaar”, a black market named after US President George W. Bush.
“It is not fair to puncture a car to avert theft… You park your car here for few minutes, it is either stolen by a thief, or damaged by police,” he says. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

UNION SHIPS FOUND DANGER IN SOUTH CAROLINA’S WATERS
Posted By : manager
Posted : January 30, 2024
By Michael Thomas
Union vessels, both sail and steam-powered, cruised the coastal waters and rivers of the Palmetto State during the war. Large heavily armed warships, fast sloops, and ironclads lurked around Charleston. Small shallow-draft gunboats made inland foraways via the various rivers. Supporting this fleet were transports, large and small, capable of carrying men, livestock, and supplies. Twelve of these vessels were sunk by Confederate gunfire or storms, many others in-curred major damage, and one was captured.
The earliest recorded losses are from the Port Royal Expedition destined for Beaufort and occurred November 2nd, 1861 when a gale wreaked havoc on it. The transport Governor, carrying a battalion of marines, foundered just off Charleston. Somehow, all but 7 men were rescued. Peerless, a transport loaded with beef cattle, foundered very near Charleston’s harbor without loss of crewmen. Another transport carrying cattle, barrels of potatoes, and other supplies, Osceola, foundered off Georgetown, and two boatloads of her survivors were captured.
The year 1863 was disastrous for the Union fleet. On January 30th, the gunboat Isaac Smith became the only warship captured by land forces in the war after sailing into a well-coordinated ambush by Confederate batteries on Charleston’s Stono River. The very next day, Union blockaders were routed when Confederate ironclads Palmetto State and Chicora emerged from early morning darkness and fog intent on breaking the Union blockade. Though no blockaders were sunk, Union war-ships Mercedita, Keystone State, Augusta, and Quaker State, were heavily damaged in the ensuing engagement.
It got worse as the year went on. The ironclad Keokuk sustained such battle damage during the Ironclad attack in Charleston Harbor, on April 7th, that she sank off Morris Island the next day. Two days later Confederate guns along Whale Branch River near Beaufort ambushed and destroyed the Union army gunboat George Washington. The October 5th spar-torpedo attack by David inflicted much damage to the warship New Ironsides. On December 6th, a gale caused ironclad Weehawken to sink off Morris Island with a loss of 31 men.
Just three Union ships were lost in 1864. The Housatonic, sunk by the Hunley on February 17th, was the most notable as it was the target of the world’s first successful submarine attack. On May 26th a Union expedition to cut the Charleston and Savannah railroad was stopped when the transport Boston, loaded with troops and horses ran aground on the Ashepoo River. Blasted by Confederate artillery, it was set afire by the Yankees and burned to the waterline after the crew abandoned the ship. A gale on December 9th sank the schooner coal ship and lightship Robert B. Howlett off Morris Island.
Three more Union vessels were lost in just six weeks in 1865. Ironclad Patapsco sank after hitting a mine in Charleston harbor on January 15th. The warship Dai Ching ran aground on January 26th in the Combahee River near Beaufort and was set afire as its crew abandoned ship after being raked by Confederate cannon. The last ship lost was the Harvest Moon which sunk February 29th after hitting a mine in Georgetown’s harbor. Truly, Union operations off coastal South Carolina were costly and dangerous. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
