A recent Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2023-24 report reveals significant insights into Nigeria’s ongoing fight against malaria, highlighting both progress and persistent challenges.
The NDHS survey report was made available on Sunday in Abuja.
It said k malaria remained a serious health concern in the country, especially affecting vulnerable populations, with the latest data showing key trends in prevention, treatment, and public awareness.
The survey indicates a marked increase in household ownership of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), a primary method of malaria prevention, especially in rural areas where ownership rates outpace those in urban regions.
“Intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) has also seen an uptick, though disparities remain based on region and socioeconomic status.
“Meanwhile, media exposure to malaria messages has effectively reached a substantial portion of the population, underscoring the impact of awareness campaigns,” the survey said.
Despite these achievements, the survey said that critical issues remained.
“Access to healthcare, especially for children with fever, is inconsistent, with many cases lacking diagnostic testing.
“Geographic and economic factors contribute to unequal healthcare access, particularly in underserved regions,” it said.
Additionally, the survey said that while more Nigerians were aware of malaria prevention, many remained inconsistent in using preventive measures.
It said that the threat of drug-resistant malaria strains also posed a potential setback to treatment efficacy, necessitating ongoing research and adaptation.
To sustain momentum and achieve lasting results, experts suggested strengthening primary healthcare systems, particularly in rural areas, to improve access to diagnostics, treatment, and preventive services.
Deputy Project Director of Risk Communication at Breakthrough ACTION Nigeria, Dr Olayinka Umar Farouk, recommended enhanced community engagement through education campaigns and increased distribution of ITNs and IPTp in high-risk areas.
“Addressing the emerging drug resistance issue is critical, as is improving surveillance to monitor malaria trends and respond to new threats swiftly,” Umar Farouk said.
She said the survey’s findings suggested that while Nigeria had made commendable progress, there were still challenges to overcome in the fight against malaria.
She said that by implementing these targeted recommendations, the country could make significant strides towards reducing malaria’s impact on public health, and improving the quality of life for millions across the country | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Most of the problems in the Eurasian Economic Union were created by ill-considered policies of national governments. Adviser to the President of Kyrgyzstan Oleg Pankratov stated at Eurasian Economic Integration conference.
According to him, the initial impulse of economic integration has somewhat faded for five years. This can be seen on the agenda of the EAEU bodies. The union is increasingly moving away from strategic issues towards solving the current problems.
«Incorrect prioritization entails increased competition in the union and weakened overall relevance in competition in the global market. Taking into account international trends and the accumulated experience of unification, we need to look at the union from a new perspective,» said Oleg Pankratov.
The adviser to the head of state noted that decision-making in the EAEU takes place through consensus. This is attractive to member countries with small economies. At the same time, this principle is a big disincentive in making important decisions, when it is necessary to quickly respond to rapidly changing external environment.
«The President of Kyrgyzstan has already raised the issue of strengthening the role of the EEC and delegating a greater volume of competencies to the supranational level. As an example, I would touch on the subject of technical regulation. We have declared a single system. But we see that there are many reference norms. The rules are established by national authorized bodies. This becomes a tool for artificially restricted access of manufacturers of a country to the EAEU market,» Oleg Pankratov believes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The 3D printing advancements are triggering a revolution in the way some of the historic painters of the world could be experienced. As 3D printing makes it possible to reproduce paint strokes to the microlevel it becomes possible to have near exact copies of any of the master pieces on your own wall for minimal cost.
One of the best known painters that comes to mind for this new technique is Vincent van Gogh, famous for usage of his thick brushes of oil paint.
- Reproductions can be scaled to match any interior needs.
- As color decay can become a reality over time, reproductions can be made with the original colors resembling the appearance from the day is was originally painted.
Current 3D printing technology combined with giclée layered printing is the way for reproductions to show the exact original relief, mimicking the brush strokes of the original painting.
Obviously quality can vary. Some extremely fine details oil paintings offer like twisting and mingling layers of paint cannot always be printed yet. Nevertheless, from a normal viewing distance 3D printed paintings easily offer that extra layer of ‘realism’.
- Most reproductions listed on this site offer a detailed close up video. Tip: use full screen playback to view the highest quality image. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I like to think about this film. Some things I saw are very interesting. It is a kind of spy thriller that I find more exciting than before. The name of the film is The Amateur, and Rami Malek’s character in it is special. Rami Malek, who has previously given great performances in films like Mr. Robot and Bohemian Rhapsody, is playing the role of a CIA decoder in this film. His name is Charlie Heller. I think there is something special in this character, which makes him different.
Charlie is a very intelligent but lonely person. His wife is killed in a terrorist attack, and then he starts investigating the case himself. The CIA people do not believe him because they believe that he may have a mental imbalance. But Charlie himself sets out across the world to find the culprits of that attack. Can you imagine how a lonely man who is struggling with the pain of losing his wife will chase those who are responsible for his life? There is a kind of suspense in thinking about it. I think Rami Malek is going to do something very special in this role.
The trailer of the film showed something special. Charlie’s character in it looks very deep and complex. The emotions on his face say a lot. He is a decoder, that is, he should be an expert in understanding codes, messages and signals. But now, his own life becomes a big question. Will he be able to catch the right people? The adventures and dangerous situations in his search are very interesting. The trailer shows that Charlie has deceived many people using his deep thinking and understanding, and he is spread all over the world to take revenge. I think this film will continue to surprise the audience.
The Amateur Trailer
This film also has some similarities with Gary Oldman’s Slow Horse. Slow Horse is a spy thriller, and James Howes, who is the director of Slow Horse, took inspiration to make this film. I liked to know that Howes also took inspiration from classic films like All the President’s Men and Three Days of the Condor in his direction. This can be a very good sign for the film. Because these films are quite influential in themselves and have deep politics and hidden messages. Maybe something similar is there in The Amateur.
Not only Rami Malek, the rest of the actors of the film are also going to do a great job. Rachel Brosnahan, who is famous for her role in The Marvelous Mrs. Meisel, is also playing an important role in this film. Apart from this, Jon Bernthal, who is always known for his brilliant acting, is also in this film. I think how the film will have an impact will depend a lot on the performance of all these actors.
After watching the trailer of this film, I thought that this film is not just a thriller, but it can also be a deep psychological journey. Charlie’s journey can be not just external but also internal. Will he get a chance to find himself after his wife’s death? Will he be able to find the lost humanity within him again? Will he be able to get justice in his own way? All these questions are running in my mind.
I also liked that The Amateur has been shot somewhere else, in different cities of the world. The glimpses of the cities shown in the trailer are very unique. This further increases the impact of the film. Because usually we often see spy thrillers in some major cities of Europe or military areas. But the locations chosen in this film are something different, which can be new and interesting for the audience.
That is, this film gives me a lot of expectations. Rami Malek’s character, Hawes’ direction, and the tone of the whole film – everything together can make it a great experience. If you are also a fan of spy thrillers, then you must watch this movie.

Effective immediately, the City of Houston has lifted the boil water notice that has been in place since Wednesday, February 17, 2021. Customers no longer need to boil water used for drinking, cooking and making ice. Water quality testing submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has confirmed that tap water meets all regulatory standards and is safe to drink.
On February 17th, TCEQ required Houston Water to issue a boil water notice for the City of Houston’s Main Water System (TX1010013), and inform customers, individuals, or employees that due to conditions which occurred recently in the public water system, the water from this public water system was required to be boiled prior to use for drinking water or human consumption purposes.
Houston Water has taken the necessary corrective actions to restore the quality of the water distributed by this public water system used for drinking water or human consumption purposes and has provided TCEQ with laboratory test results that indicate that the water no longer requires boiling prior to use as of Sunday, February 21, 2021.
“The historic freezing temperatures in Houston last week caused water pressure to drop throughout the city. I appreciate everyone’s patience as Houston Water crews worked nonstop to restore the pressure and gain the TCEQ’s approval to lift the boil water notice,” Mayor Sylvester Turner said. “In the meantime, my office and partners distributed almost three million bottles of water citywide. Our community helped each other through tough times and once again showed why we are #HoustonStrong.”
Customers should flush their water system by running cold-water faucets for at least one minute, cleaning automatic ice makers by making and discarding several batches of ice, and running water softeners through a regeneration cycle.
Please share this information with all people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses).
If customers have questions concerning this matter, they may contact 311 (713.837.0311).
WATER QUALITY TESTING
Houston Water worked with TCEQ to establish corrective actions necessary to lift the boil water notice. The actions included analyzing 43 water samples from throughout the City of Houston as required by TCEQ. Test results indicated that water provided by Houston meets all regulatory standards and is safe for human consumption. On Sunday, February 21, 2021, TCEQ gave the City of Houston approval to lift the boil water notice. Water quality reports are available online at: bit.ly/houwaterquality

Study Claims Maine Does Not Have a Single Elite Public School
We all use lists as a point of reference, whether we realize it or not; everything from vacation ideas to restaurants to home improvement projects. Maine as a whole is often recognized on national lists as a terrific place to live, stay, and visit. But in terms of the quality of public schools? Well, that is a different story.
24/7 Wall St recently put together a list of the 50 best public schools all across the United States. The list was compiled from data pulled together in seven specific categories:
- Academics/test scores
- Parent/Student surveys
- Culture and Diversity
- Overall Teacher grade
- Extracurricular activities
- Resources grade
- Sports/athletics grade
Some of those categories deserve further explanation. For instance, the overall teacher grade is broken down into teacher salaries, the amount of teacher sick days taken, as well as how teachers fare in parent/student surveys.
Maine public schools were also hurt by their lack of culture and diversity. Maine remains one of the least culturally diverse states in the nation, so there is very little public schools in the state can do to alter that rating.
Lastly, funding for public schools is always an issue. Three categories used by 24/7 Wall St are all dependent on funding: extracurricular activities available to students, resources available to both teachers and students, as well as sports teams, clubs, facilities, and fields available to students. Many public schools in Maine simply do not have the funding to offer substantial options in those categories.
Thus, Maine was one of a handful of states that did not have a single public school appear amongst the top 50 nationwide. If you're curious, the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics was ranked the #1 public school in America. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. (WTVD) -- The parents of a 14-year-old child who was killed in a crash in Holly Springs came forward on Thursday to thank the community during their time of loss.
"At the darkest time the community came out at us and told us over and over and over again: you're not alone," said Scout's mother, Brenda Undercoffer.
"They've given us strength throughout this whole process," said Beau Undercoffer, Scout's father.
On Oct. 16, 14-year-old Scout Undercoffer was hit and killed when crossing Highway 55 in Holly Springs.
Police have said the driver will not be charged because Scout entered the road unexpectedly and the driver had no time to stop.
The Undercoffers say concerns and speculation that her death was anything but an accident are simply not true.
"She was a pretty happy kid," said Mr. Undercoffer.
The family says Scout was happy and fearless despite being bullied for being different.
Scout was born a female, but her parents say at age 10, Scout let them know their gender identity was fluid.
By age 14, Scout's parents say Scout was helping others cope with being different.
"She had love and support. She had friendships. She was that guiding light for so many kids in school that were troubled," Mr. Undercoffer said.
And now they hope a scholarship in Scout's name will help the LGBT Center of Raleigh. So far the community has raised $25,000 in Scout's name, money Scout's parents hope will provide a resource to LGBT Youth and educate parents who struggle to understand gender fluidity.
"A parent may be resistant to that. (They) may say this is not what we want for you," said Mrs. Undercoffer. "The overall fear is otherness and not fitting in, of struggling and not fitting into the community, but I really need everyone to understand the bigger fear is not having a child that is living their true authentic self. That's the bigger loss."
Scout's parents say the holidays will be tough but they are planning a getaway with their son's.
Scout was a talented artist, her family plans to create a picture book with all of Scout's artwork and will soon sell it on Amazon.
Proceeds will support the LGBT Center of Raleigh.
Donations to the LGBT Center of Raleigh can be made through the website donations page by typing "Scout" in the "In Honor of" section. If you wish to donate by check, write "Scout's Scholarship Fund" on the memo line. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Members of the "Central Park Five" filed a defamation suit against former President Donald Trump on Monday, accusing him of spreading "false, misleading and defamatory" statements about their 1989 case during the Sept. 10 ABC News presidential debate, according to a new court filing.
Attorneys representing the five men -- Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Antron Brown and Korey Wise -- filed their civil suit against Trump in federal court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, seeking monetary damages over his statements, which they say have caused them "severe emotional distress and reputational damage."
The five men, then teenagers, were accused of the violent rape of a female jogger in Central Park in April 1989. The five, who always maintained their innocence, were convicted and served years in prison. A decade after the attack, a different man confessed to the crime, which was confirmed through DNA analysis.
During the debate, Trump was responding to a statement from Vice President Kamala Harris in which she revisited his full-page ad in The New York Times in the wake of the incident that called for the execution of the Central Park Five when he said the following: "They come up with things like what she just said going back many, many years when a lot of people including Mayor Michael Bloomberg agreed with me on the Central Park Five. They admitted -- they said, they pled guilty. And I said, well, if they pled guilty they badly hurt a person, killed a person ultimately. And if they pled guilty -- then they pled we're not guilty."
The lawsuit points out that Trump's statements were false in multiple respects -- noting none of the members of the Central Park Five ever entered guilty pleas in the case, none of the victims of the Central Park assaults were killed, and the mayor at the time of the assaults was Ed Koch -- who did not agree with Trump's position in the full-page ad.
"Defendant Trump's conduct at the September 10 debate was extreme and outrageous, and it was intended to cause severe emotional distress to Plaintiffs," the lawsuit stated.
Trump's attorneys have not yet entered an appearance on the court docket as of Monday morning. A Trump campaign spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Residents in West Roseland said their neighborhood is one step closer to becoming a pharmacy desert after the permanent closure of their Walgreens.
Many were left shocked after learning the Far South Side pharmacy would permanently close its doors at the end of business on Nov. 9.
"It's kind of baffling. This move is so undeserved," said resident Darryl Coleman.
The Walgreens store at 115th and Halsted is among roughly 150 locations nationwide that the Deerfield-based company announced would close as part of a cost-cutting measure that also includes layoffs of 500 corporate workers.
"I'm saddened, I'm devastated because it's a way for us in the community to come and get our meds and any toiletries we need for every day," said resident Vincent Hatter.
According to multiple reports, a spokesperson for Walgreens said company officials looked at several factors before making the difficult decision to close the store.
With the closure of the Walgreens at 115th and Halsted, area residents will now have to travel at least two miles to get to the next-closest Walgreens, like the one at 103rd and Michigan.
The store's patient pharmacy files will be transferred to a Calumet Park Walgreens at 128th and Ashland. But that's a problem for 82-year-old resident Jeri Boyd, who doesn't have a car and walks to the pharmacy to pick up her prescriptions.
"I don't have on way to get all the way out there," she said.
The closed store sits in Ald. Ronnie Mosley 21st Ward. In a statement posted on social media, Mosley said he's frustrated by the news adding in part, "this is the only stand-alone pharmacy in the 21st Ward...This closure has a significant impact on our seniors, youth and those with chronic health conditions."
Other nearby Walgreens are located at 103rd and Western Avenue, 111th and Kedzie Avenue and 118th and Western Avenue.
The popular retailer becomes the second national chain to leave the South Side community this year. Walmart closed four full service stores in April, including its superstore in Chatham. It's another hardship for Yvette Burns who recently suffered a stroke and will have one less local healthcare option.
"I'm sorry they chose this store, but that's life right," she said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Her suit said the website could have prevented the attack if it had only checked the man's criminal background. Alan Paul Wurtzel is currently facing two felony sexual assault charges in L.A. He's been convicted of sexual battery in the past. The woman works in film and television.
She says things got bad on their second date.
"I got out of the car and he got out of his side and he followed me into the building. We went up the elevator. We walked to the front door. I opened the door and then he went straight into the bathroom and then he came out of the bathroom and he jumped me," said the woman.
The victim's lawyer is asking the court to stop Match.com from signing up any more members until it begins screening for sexual predators. The company says it doesn't want to give a false sense of security, but says it's very difficult to do a thorough background search on more than 10 million members.
The suspect's attorney denies the allegations. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Warning - Gory details are included
On Tuesday 14th July I got to work at 8am as usual. As soon as I put my bag down, I suddenly had to rush to the loo.
There, imagine Quentin Tarantino writes an episode of American Horror Story: Bathroom. Yep, blood gushed out from whence it should not.
My reaction: "Yikes!". Flush. Clean up.
By this time, one of the directors had arrived at work, so I told her and she sent me to the nearest GP right away.
That sounds pretty calm but it wasn't. I don't often swear - but I did that morning.
Here is my top tip so far - if you do something in the toilet that you need to tell a Doctor about - have a really good look at it before you flush.
The Doctor wanted to know every last detail of what I'd sent down the big white telephone, but I really didn't have the answers. All I knew was there was a lot of blood.
He asked me lots of other questions too, did some prodding and poking, and said he would refer me for a colonoscopy.
I got a taxi home and went to bed, feeling drained and sorry for myself, but also sure it would not be anything serious. Cancer never even crossed my mind.
I went to work the next day. I still felt drained, and I joked with a colleague when she asked me how I felt "Like I could do with the rest of the week off" Ha ha. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I hate everything.
I hate coming home from a long fucking day when you've been up all night with no sleep, after being forced to miss the bus and wait an hour to take the next one, to discover you have hungry, annoying cats who overturned the litterbox, making a huge mess, no food in the house, and all three smoke alarms chirping that they need new batteries.
So I headed out. After partly dealing with the cat stuff.
Then I came back, with batteries and food. I wrestled a pill and some medicine into a cat and snarfed down some fast food. The smoke alarms were still chirping.
No, they are not synchronized. They chirp the way a junior high band plays a chord in unison. This offends my sensibilities.
Now, there are many things about this apartment I like. Usually, the high ceilings, along with good light, are a major point I appreciate for this space.
But the higher the ceiling the more the room echoes, and these smoke alarms are making ringing announcements of their lack of battery-ness. Two of them go off, close to each other, and the third follows soon after, as if an afterthought.
Which ones go and which follow changes each time, it seems, but the pattern is holding fairly steady.
The other problem with the high ceilings is that the smoke alarms are installed almost at the top. I am quite short. Standing on a chair and stretching has absolutely no effect. Standing on the chair and jumping at them seems many different types of stupid. Throwing a hammer at them starts to sound pretty enticing.
So I have to go down two sets of stairs and wrangle back up a stepladder.
Once back with the dirty, for-some-reason greasy, stepladder, I can easily climb to a point where I can read the face of Alarm Number One. Lead chair in the chirping trio. It says "to remove, twist and pull." So, I do.
The whole alarm comes off. I look at it, in my hand. It is no closer to being open. From this distance, the chirping makes my ears ring so hard I have trouble thinking or seeing.
There appears to be no way of opening it. Any sort of pulling or twisting on it or prying at it causes it to go off. Not chirping. The full-on siren effect of a pan of scorched onions.
Luckily I see a depression on the front labeled "Push and hold to reset or to test." Holding it down once sends it into test mode, where it then cycles through the following types of alarms: 1. Scorched onion siren, 2. Four short earsplitting beeps, 3. Beethoven's Fifth as played by jackhammers (short short short loooooooong), 4. A series of beeps so fast it almost sounds like one continuous sound. Each one must go off once before it notices you're holding down the button again, whereupon it moves to the next pattern. Only after it has worked through all four types does it shut off.
Yes, I have had considerable experience within which to learn its ways.
I am now tired. So tired. I have also used up all my swearing and thrown everything except the smoke alarms themselves at my cats. At this point I don't even want to deal with them. I don't care.
The stepladder still stands in the living room. I don't care about that either.
I called the apartment management company and left an angry, incoherent, profanity-laced message for them telling them to come out and deal with this shit.
Of course, it was 10 pm and they won't even get that message until the office opens the next morning. That means I'd have to wait through an entire night of this, after staying up very late to work on my chapter and then not getting much sleep anyway.
To counteract the echoing high ceiling problem, I put the smoke alarms in the closet. It too has a high ceiling, but at least it is technically in another room, with a door muffling the sound a bit. I'm too damn tired to think of any better way to deal with it.
So. FUCKING. Tired. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The realities of COVID-19 have impacted visitor policies, creating challenges for patients and moral distress for staff. Jennifer Jones, nurse manager, has developed several approaches for leaders and staff to work through the tough decisions the updated visitor policy is forcing.
Medical students Rachel Tsolinas and Sam Wilkinson, along with SOM professor Kathryn Moore, share a practical tool all health care professionals can use to broaden our understanding of how culture influences decisions and events.
The role of the meeting leader takes on new prominence in virtual spaces like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. The Effective Communicator joins Antonius Tsai to discuss how you can make the transition from presenting content to leading and shaping a space that builds connection and purpose.
Director of Organizational Development Chris Fairbank introduces WE CARE—a model for leaders that focuses on what makes their teams unique so they can enhance and sustain a stronger organizational culture.
Frequent and deliberate practice is critical to attaining procedural competency. Cheryl Yang, pediatric emergency medicine fellow, shares a framework for providing trainees with opportunities to learn, practice, and maintain procedural skills, while ensuring high standards for patient safety.
Academic medicine has been thrown into the brave new world of virtual communication, instruction and online learning. Pediatric endocrinologist and clinician educator Kathleen Timme shares a process to transition from traditional training to meaningful and engaging.
COVID-19 has brought a new challenge to the work of continuous learning in health care: how to teach new information when it is constantly changing and emotions run high. As nurse educators for the emergency department, the pulmonary and palliative care unit, and outpatient clinics, Emma Gauci, Paige Wilson, and Sarah Smith have been thrown into an educator’s quandary: how to help staff feel as knowledgeable and supported as possible.
Crisis requires new ways of doing things, but those who know how to double down on existing strengths thrive in complexity. Case manager Todd Selmer shares two tactics for managing change brought on by the coronavirus that have always served him well.
Hospitalist Ryan Murphy reflects on the care his dad received as one of Utah’s first hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The experience shaped how he communicates with patients—whether or not they have COVID—in spite of isolation, masks, and physical distancing.
Redeployment may be a new health care reality, but in the U.S. military, rapid redeployment and tours of duty have always been part of the job. We turned to local veteran and nursing director Trell Inzunza, and the Resiliency Center's Megan Call, to learn practical strategies for supporting our teams as we transition.
Our moment calls for new ways of leading. Kyle Turner and Michelle Vo, relational leadership trainers, explain how this concept brings us to the task. While traditional leadership theories focus on the what and how, relational leadership asks us to place more emphasis on who.

Almost all casino games that can be played in brick-and-mortar casinos can also be enjoyed at an online casino. However, there are some differences between these two types of gambling sites. A good casino online will offer a wide selection of different types of games, including classic favorites like blackjack and roulette as well as newer video poker titles. In addition, it will provide a number of different betting options, from small to large wagers.
The first thing to look for in an online casino is the variety of games offered. Most USA-based online casinos offer in the neighborhood of 500 to 1,000 games, so there is sure to be one that will suit your tastes. Look for a combination of old-school classics, as well as newer releases that have been vetted by state regulators to ensure they run smoothly on your device.
Another key factor to consider when selecting a casino online is the quality of customer support. Ideally, you want a casino that offers multiple ways to get help with your gaming experience, from live chat support to email. A reputable casino will also have an efficient payout system that gets your winnings to you quickly and securely.
Many of the same bonuses and promotions that you would find in a real-world casino can be found at an online casino, as long as you choose the right site. This includes welcome bonuses for new players, and recurring promotional offerings such as cashback or VIP programs. These rewards are designed to attract players and keep them playing, so they should be offered at a quality casino.
A great casino online will have a carousel at the top of their homepage that features their featured games. These will usually be a mix of casino classics and some popular new slots that have been highly rated by players. In some cases, these featured games will even feature jumbo size progressive jackpots, so you can win millions of dollars by spinning the reels!
In addition to the popular casino games, a good casino online will also have a solid selection of table games. Look for a casino that has a variety of poker games, including Texas Hold’em and Omaha, as well as baccarat. These games are often a hit with players because they are easy to learn, fast-paced, and offer a nice bang for your buck.
In addition to a robust game selection, a reputable casino online will have a range of banking options. They should accept all major credit cards as well as e-wallet solutions like PayPal. They will also have a mobile-optimized website that works on most devices. This way, you can enjoy the action from anywhere, at any time! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A royal cloth
Originally, the use of kente was reserved for Asante royalty and limited to special social and sacred functions. Even as production has increased and kente has become more accessible to those outside the royal court, it continues to be associated with wealth, high social status, and cultural sophistication. Historians maintain that kente cloth grew out of various weaving traditions that existed in West Africa prior to the formation of the Asante Kingdom. These techniques were appropriated through vast trade networks, as were materials such as French and Italian silk, which became increasingly desired in the 18th century and were combined with cotton and wool to make kente.
Kente is woven on a horizontal strip loom, which produces a narrow band of cloth about four inches wide. Several of these strips are carefully arranged and hand-sewn together to create a cloth of the desired size. Most kente weavers are men.
Weaving involves the crossing of a row of parallel threads called the warp (threads running vertically) with another row called the weft (threads running horizontally). A horizontal loom, constructed with wood, consists of a set of two, four or six heddles (loops for holding thread), which are used for separating and guiding the warp threads. These are attached to treadles (foot pedals) with pulleys that have spools of thread inserted in them. The pulleys can be used to move the warp threads apart. As the weaver divides the warp threads, he uses a shuttle (a small wooden device carrying a bobbin, or small spool of thread) to insert the weft threads between them. These various parts of the loom, like the motifs in the cloth, all have symbolic significance and are accorded a great deal of respect. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Warning! Doctors can sell your Rx history to Big Pharma
In yet another consumer-bashing move, the US Supreme Court ruled June 23, 2011, that pharmaceutical companies may now purchase lists of the drugs that individual doctors prescribe (without the name of the patient) for marketing purposes.
The ruling was made using the First Amendment Freedom of Speech argument that if researchers and journalist were allowed to gather such records, then marketers deserved equal access. Um, this doesn’t exactly seem like freedom of speech to me. It’s more like data mining. And that pretty much sucks.
Not only do the pharmaceutical companies not need to know what drugs our doctors are prescribing to us (even anonymously), they don’t need to be putting pressure on doctors to prescribe more of their particular drug.
What I hear from doctors is that they feel besieged by drug reps who pound them with expensive brochures, volumes of research and “educational” materials. There is unprecedented marketing influence over our most personal body mechanics. I, for one, don’t like it a bit.
One consumer advocate said that the ruling could create a conflict of interest for physicians who must fight to maintain the best interests of their patients while being bombarded or pressured by pharmaceutical companies.
Having come of age in an era when consumer protection was firmly entrenched in the culture (although I might have been naive about my trust), it’s still a shock to see just how little our individual needs influence the marketplace. And make no mistake, the medical field is a marketplace; has been for more than a decade. I hate it. I hope we can withstand the commercialization of our health. Even more, I hope we can survive it. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

As the leader in the composite decking industry, Trex defines itself by its growth. Perhaps our most compelling evolution has come in our deck boards themselves, all of which feature different looks for different tastes. While our newer high-performance composites fight weather and age with a protective shell, our early-generation composite deck boards–products such as Trex Accents®, Trex Origins®, Trex Contours®, Trex Profiles® and Trex Brasilia®–experience a weathering process that’s completely natural. Typically 12-16 weeks after installation, an early-generation composite deck will fade to a lighter color, (see color swatches below). These decks are also susceptible to mold and mildew if certain environmental conditions exist and should be cleaned regularly with a deck cleaner. Explore the links below for detailed information on how to care for your early-generation Trex® deck. Avoid fading. Upgrade to Trex High-Performance Lines. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The study investigated and sought to establish the effects of internal control system
on efficiency in Non-Government Organizations majoring on Compassion
International Assisted projects in Kampala district.
Internal controls were looked at from angles of control environment, control activities,
information and communication,· risk assessment, and monitoring and evaluation.
The research was conducted using both quantitative and qualitative approaches.
Data was collected using Questionnaires and interview guide as well as review of
available documents and records like audit reports and compassion financial
The research found out that the compassior1 Assisted projects have the internal
control systems in place and in each of the projects there is a management
committee that oversees the running of the project. It also discovered that workers
are appropriated monitored, reports are prepared in time, and there is free
interaction amongst the different workers. However, though there is an active board
that runs the projects the board ·iacks independence from the management meaning
it's possible to manipulate the board. Also the study found out that valuable and
sensitive information could easily be accessed by one staff even without
authorization. Also there is a notable weakness in the area of giving feedback on
reports and auditing where by projects were not necessarily audited every financial
In the area of efficiency much as many of the respondents said their organizations
were very efficient, when it came to costs and time many of them acknowledged that
their cost were not very low compared to output and also resources were not
necessarily utilized with little or no wastage.
Other than internal control, the study found out that other factors that affect efficiency
were number of staff employed and particularly it found out that the workload in
these projects was quite heavy. There was understaffing. The work to be done was
too much for the staffs who were either 4 in projects without CSP or 5 for projects
that had CSP.
The study recommends that the board that oversees the projects should be
independent of the management body for effectiveness in control.
It also recommends that all valuable and sensitive information, assets, documents should be kept safely and only accessed with permission or authorization.
There is need for more staff to. be recruited in each of the different projects for efficiency to be realized in a higher rate.
In conclusion there is a system of internal control in place though it needs strengthening and it affects efficiency. The system however needs to be strengthened for better results.

Back in 2020, Swizz Beatz entered a new business outside of Hip-Hop — camel racing.
Tapping into the venture led the music maven to become the first African-American and Westerner to own a camel racing team in the Middle East, as previously shared by AFROTECH™.
“I had it in my mind for so long,” Swizz Beatz told Variety. “My friends out there have teams, friends’ parents’ families in Dubai [United Arab Emirates] have teams. That’s how I had access to knowing what to look for, how to pick your fleet, understand the bloodline, find the best trainers. I did extensive research and was there for a month straight doing it. I had the heads-up for a while but didn’t push the button until COVID. It sounded big, amazing and a lot of work, but I just wanted to do it. It feels like it came fast, but it was a long process.”
Following snagging 20 trophies including the Saudi Camel Federation Cup, per AFROTECH™, Swizz Beatz has his eyes set on another win. According to Bloomberg, he has spent millions of dollars on his camels for his racing team, the Saudi Bronx, and he is competing for a $21 million prize in Saudi Arabia’s AlUla Camel Cup — running April 24-27. The outlet describes the competition as “one of the world’s richest camel races.” With his team of 52 camels, four are set to race solo in the AlUla Camel Cup.
“It’s a very good investment if your teams are winning,” Swizz Beatz told the outlet.
Along with competing in the AlUla Camel Cup, the Grammy-winning record producer is an investor in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia via his creative consultancy, Good Intentions, the outlet details. Moreover, he will DJ at AlUla on Wheels, an immersive skating rink that he launched in Saudi Arabia.
As AFROTECH™ previously told you, Swizz Beatz has considered bringing the camel racing culture to the U.S. With all of the success that he’s accomplished, it’s still an option he’s exploring.
“I would wanna master it a little bit more and learn and understand a few more things before expanding it to the other side,” he shared with Bloomberg. “I don’t think that it will be too long down the road.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Malaysian palm oil futures rose, driven by gains in Dalian’s soyoil and palm oil contracts, with January palm oil closing at 4,950 ringgit per ton. Indonesian officials proposed increasing biodiesel’s palm oil blend to 50% by 2028. India’s palm oil imports increased in October but are projected to fall in 2024-25 due to favorable domestic production conditions.
JAKARTA: Malaysian palm oil futures closed higher and reversed early losses on Thursday, supported by gains from rival vegetable oils at the Dalian market.
The benchmark palm oil contract for January delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange gained 33 ringgit or 0.67%, to 4,950 ringgit ($1,125.00) a metric ton on the closing.
Dalian’s most-active soyoil contract rose 1.78%, while its palm oil contract gained 2.8%. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade were down 0.56%.
Palm oil tracks the price movements of rival edible oils as it competes for a share in the global vegetable oils market.
Indonesia’s government is proposing to increase the mandatory blend of palm oil-based fuel in biodiesel to 50% in 2028, Edi Wibowo, director of bioenergy at the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, told an industry conference on Thursday.
India’s vegetable oil imports are estimated to decline further in the 2024-25 season to 15 million tons, as favourable weather will likely boost domestic production, an industry group said at the conference.
India’s palm oil imports surged 59% in October to a three-month high compared to the previous month, as refiners boosted purchases to replenish stocks depleted by lower-than-usual imports in recent months and a strong festive demand.
The ringgit, palm’s currency of trade, traded flat against the U.S. dollar on the closing. A weaker ringgit makes vegetable oil cheaper for buyers holding foreign currencies.
Oil held steady on Thursday after a sell-off triggered by the U.S. presidential election, with a stronger dollar and lower crude imports in China balancing supply risks from a Trump presidency and output cuts caused by Hurricane Rafael.
Stronger crude oil futures make palm a more attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.

The Big Apple is set to sizzle Wednesday with temperatures soaring into the mid-90s — before thunderstorms are expected to roll in and usher in a cold front.
New York City temps are forecast to peak at 94 degrees but the humidity will raise the heat index to around 101 degrees at the hottest part of the day, meteorologist Jordan Overton at Fox Weather told The Post.
A heat advisory will be in effect for the Big Apple at 11 a.m., with a 30% chance of rain and thunderstorms beginning at 2 p.m.
Wednesday will be the fifth 90-plus degree day in August so far, including a three-day spate of hellish temps at the beginning of the month, Overton noted.
“It’s not as uncommon as people think. August is very close to New York City’s hottest month, which is technically July,” he explained of the series of super-hot days.
“It’s just around the average.”
The rising mercury comes as the US Open kicked off this week at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens.
The Grand Slam tournament is expected to draw in a record 1 million spectators this year, organizers said Monday.
Meanwhile, swaths of New Jersey and Pennsylvania between Trenton and Philadelphia will be under an even greater excessive heat warning with heat index values of up to 105 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Residents are advised to avoid excessive outdoor activity, stay hydrated and to stay in the shade or in air conditioning as much as possible.
The intense heat already forced the Metuchen School District in Middlesex County, New Jersey, to announce an early dismissal for the first day of classes on Wednesday, NJ.com reported.
Heat advisories will remain in place until 8 p.m., when thunderstorms are expected to usher in a cold front.
There will not be many storms, but those that do develop could be strong to severe with threats of wind gusts of over 50 mph and large hail.
Luckily for New Yorkers, residents just have to power through Wednesday before the evening storm and cold front will take things down a notch, with Thursday’s high around 78 degrees. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

At the time I was looking to work on a new engine in an attempt to improve my knowledge of C++ as well as to “give something back” to the open source community. Some of the engines I was toying with at the time included one’s for Uplink: Hacker Elite, the Dynamix Game Development System as well as Sanitarium.
When I first played Dreamforge’s Sanitarium (the Razor 1911 rip at the time …) I was immediately drawn to the darker story and ambiance. After finishing it I ended up buying the full version and replaying it several times. Though the gameplay was linear I found myself continually drawn into the world and the story.
I began working on an engine for Sanitarium, but soon found a post on the ScummVM forums by someone trying to do the same thing. I reached out to Alex Fontoura as he had also been reverse engineering the game’s executable (sntrm.exe
) and we decided to merge our efforts.
We began collaborating on an IDA Pro project to see how far we could get. Filippos Karapetis, a veteran ScummVM developer, also joined us early on and helped correct quite a few bad C++ habits both Alex and I had at the time :P
With Filippos’ help and an old Gamasutra Postmortem article providing some insight as to the inner workings of the game, we were making rapid progress. To expedite our efforts I started digging for more “insider” information, so using the Moby Games Credits page for Sanitarium I started “cold-calling” (emailing) some team members.
One team member I was able to get a hold of was Mike Breitkreutz (via MySpace), who shared what he remembered.
Benjamin Haisch (aka. John Doe), another ScummVM team member, had by this point provided a far superior IDA database to work from which we used until Julian Templier joined us in 2010 and essentially finished the IDA RE efforts.
Julian implemented the event processing subsystem and the save/load functionality along with cleaning up a lot of the codebase. His blog shares some of the progress from July 2011 which is shortly before he left to focus on other work (such as the Ring engine).
Our progress stagnate from 2012 through 2015, at which point I published a progress update in hopes of reigniting interest …. it didn’t work.
Fast forward to 2021 and we find out that Alexander Panov has picked up the development and completed the engine! The outstanding work left was the inventory management, encounters and a number of bugfixes, which he was able to get sorted out over the course of a few months.
Alexander is now a member of the ScummVM team, and thanks to his efforts this 12 year journey can finally conclude with a working engine merged into ScummVM that will allow countless others to enjoy Sanitarium. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
It’s rare in this day and age of instantaneous remakes and endless rip-offs to encounter something even remotely fresh in the film industry. At the very least (and there is quite a bit more to it), Ari Folman’s Academy Award-nominated Israeli film Waltz With Bashir introduces us to an untapped, perhaps wholly original genre: the animated documentary. In Waltz With Bashir, Folman freely mixes techniques of documentary, investigative journalism and personal reminiscence and relates them to his audience in a thoroughly unexpected comic strip style. The look of Folman’s animation is immediately striking. (Like Richard Linklater’s Waking Life, the film appears to have been rotoscoped over actual film footage. In this case, it wasn’t.) The cell-shaded flash animation lends the film a realistic tone while still leaving room for impressionistic mood enhancement. Thick black lines and heavy pools of ink wash are counterbalanced by a color palette that transitions from dull gray to lurid monochrome (nuclear oranges, bruised purples), depending on the mood of each scene.The “story” of the film begins as an old army buddy of Folman’s relates a recurrent nightmare that has been plaguing him since the two served a tour of duty during the first Lebanon War in the early-’80s. (In Israel, national military service is mandatory for all Jewish men and women over the age of 18.) What does this dream mean and how does it relate to what happened during the war? To his surprise, Folman can recall almost nothing about his time in the Israeli army. It was only 20 years ago, but the filmmaker has blocked it all out of his memory. In order to reconstruct what he did and saw during those pivotal years, Folman hunts down and interviews a string of friends, colleagues, psychiatrists and military men.Oddly enough (or is it “appropriately enough”), few of them have solid memories of their life during wartime. Each manages to relate some fragmentary tale, a surreal mixture of Pink Floyd-style hallucination and grim reality. Folman isn’t sure what to make of all this, but the resultant collection of wartime tales reads like a trippy marriage between the black humor of Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H and the bleak madness of Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now. Initially at least, Waltz With Bashir is not a political film. It is more a meditation on how memory both tricks us and tries to protect us. Folman is trying to analyze the workings of the human mind as much as he’s attempting to understand what happened during the Lebanon War. For him, at least, the two are forever intertwined. As the tales of confusion, craziness and outright horror begin to snap together like puzzle pieces, providing a fragmentary picture of what Folman and his comrades witnessed (or didn’t witness) during an infamous refugee camp massacre outside Beirut, the film zeroes in on a message that is unavoidably political in nature. Whether the film is ultimately critical of Israeli policy in the Middle East or simply questions the madness of war in general is best left to individual judgment. Are certain things in this world outside our view, are they hidden from us by those in power or do we actively refuse to see them? (CoughRwandaCough.)By not drawing a line (literally, in this case) between clinical, documentary-style narrative and that version of the world we see filtered through our fucked-up dreams, uncontrolled fantasies and jumbled memories, Folman creates a portrait of armed conflict that is stark, vivid, beautiful, ugly and somehow more real than the real thing. There’s not much point to figuring how much of Waltz With Bashir is strictly true, how much is recreated and how much is scripted. It is one of those works of art that simply doesn’t need to be pulled apart and examined. It just needs to be experienced. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Alien X Ray poster represents a parasitic extraterrestrial entity that is controlling a human body
It is from the Alien movie. In deep space, the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo are on their way home when they pick up a distress signal from a distant planet.

Caroline Pham, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Commissioner, believes the path to United States crypto regulatory clarity has been laid out following Ripple’s partial victory.Speaking on Bloomberg TV on July 17, Commissioner Pham said recent big court decisions regarding the classification of crypto assets will eventually lead to regulatory clarity. “You know, last year I said that we were going to see regulatory clarity first in the courts around the definition of a security, and I think we’ve seen that with some very big court opinions that have been released.” Pham said that she was looking forward to participating in regulatory working groups and hoped other United States regulators, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, works together to come up with a “holistic approach” to crypto regulation. Pham’s comments come a few days after San Francisco fintech firm Ripple won a key partial victory in an ongoing court battle in which the SEC accused it of selling unregistered securities. Judge Analisa Torres of the Southern District of New York ruled on July 14 that XRP was not a security when sold to retail investors on digital asset exchanges.Thank you @BloombergTV for the opportunity to talk about our important GMAC initiatives! Beyond crypto, institutional markets & central banks are looking at tokenization of real assets like bonds. Today, we heard about international, US & EU developments & key takeaways. https://t.co/cWTShDy2Bf— Caroline D. Pham (@CarolineDPham) July 18, 2023
The ruling was not well received by the SEC chair Gary Gensler labeling it as disappointing at a press conference on July 17. Gensler has previously suggested that every digital asset aside from Bitcoin is a security, though his agency has not gone as far as to say the same. Despite this, Gensler has vowed to continue with enforcement actions following the recent Ripple triumph. Related: Ripple court ruling makes call for regulation ‘more compelling and more urgent’ — former CFTC chairCommissioner Pham also highlighted the importance of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. She said there were “real opportunities” to modernize financial markets through the tokenization of money market funds on the blockchain.Traditional finance companies have been increasing their engagement with real-world asset protocols, resulting in several RWAs outperforming DeFi assets recently.

A lovely young couple was in the store last week. He had just been diagnosed with allergy to dust mites. The doctor had sent them to us right away with instructions for allergy-proofing their bedroom.
They were on a tight budget (aren’t we all) and were looking to spend where they would get the most bang for their buck.
He asked why it was necessary to cover all pillows on the bed with a dust mite proof pillow cover, not just the one he slept on. It is a very common question. I mean if you aren’t sleeping on it why must it be covered? Why do you have to cover all pillows to get allergy relief?
In order to answer the question, you have to understand how you are exposed to dust mites. These microscopic creatures and their feces are in your mattress, pillow, and comforters. Every time someone moves on the bed, a cloud of microscopic particles is blown into the air and the allergic person inhales these particles. So, if person A (the person with allergies) is laying in bed with their covered pillow and person B is laying on the bed with a pillow that is not covered, every time person B moves, they will send up a cloud of particles that will rain down on person A. Person A is not protected from B’s allergens.
The other scenario is that you sleep on two or more pillows. If you only cover the pillow on which you lay your head, every time you move your head the other pillows release their cloud, right there by your head.
What I recommended to this couple was something I do myself. The pillows that are used to cradle the head are the pillows where you put the most expensive and comfortable covers. For example, if you have 6 pillows on the bed (1 for each person’s head, 1 to go under each person’s sleeping pillow, and 2 for decorative shams) then the pillows that are used for sleeping should have a microweave pillow encasement made from Pristine Luxury or AllergCare Cotton. The other pillows can be encased with coated fabrics like the Bed Bug Solution fabric, which are totally effective just less expensive. That way you can cover all pillows and stretch your allergy control dollar.
Just another way to get the protection you need without spending more than you need.

When editing Through the Lens of Serendipity, I was asked a question that I could not answer right away. There is a part in the book where I share about a time I sought out professional mental help. One of my sweet editors asked if I wanted to elaborate on why I sought help and I was torn. I did want to tell the story because I pride myself in being transparent and because stories make lessons more impactful. But, the story did not belong to me alone and, if I told it, people I love would be hurt. So, I couldn’t share this one.
I love telling stories, especially through the magic of writing. I write in hopes that readers reflect on their own experiences and develop new understanding. It is important to share the good, the bad, and the ugly because life is all of those things. I want people to feel a sense of community when they read my blogs or books, knowing that we all experience the ups and downs of life. I want people to know that we all face inner demons that often threaten our happiness more than any outside demon could. But, I can’t tell all of my stories.
I can’t tell you how I learned some of my toughest lessons. How I faced challenges that caused me to closely examine the person I was and the person I wanted to become. How, at a young age, I decided that I get to be me regardless of outside circumstances. That I learned the hard way that the only person who gets to determine way I am going to live my life is me. There will be challenges, there will be difficulties, and there will be times when I question myself to the core. But, always, in the end, I am in control of me.
There will always be untold stories. There are stories that we haven’t worked through yet, and we can’t tell them until we feel firmly in control of the situation. Sometimes we fear that things might get worse if we tell a particular story. There are stories that don’t belong to just us and others will be hurt if we tell them. Some of our stories may be perceived as bragging, so we don’t share them. There are stories that we want to keep for ourselves because they are sacred and fragile. Our stories, told or untold, are not skeletons in our closet, they are the beautiful threads that weave the fabric of our life.
We don’t know others’ untold stories, we just know that everyone has them. We all do. And, that is okay. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

AmCham Policy Committee Meets with Noa Redington
On February 27, AmCham’s Policy Committee hosted a PowerBreakfast on the upcoming Danish election with political commentator Noa Redington.
Having served as special advisor to former Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and as a recurrent political commentator on TV2News, Redington is one of Denmark’s top political minds.
At the morning briefing, Redington shared his perspective on the current political landscape ahead of the election. With only a few months to deadline, many speculate on the election date – and not least the election outcome. Redington also engaged in an open discussion on how a possible change in government may affect the business climate in Denmark – will it be good or bad for business? Or will it be business as usual?

The U.S. Department of Education announced Wednesday that it is launching an investigation into Harvard and Yale after they failed to disclose about $375 million in gifts and contracts from China and Saudi Arabia in the past four years.
Harvard and Yale are the latest in the Education Department’s continuing efforts to crack down on foreign influence, particularly from China. According to the Wall Street Journal, U.S. universities have failed to report they brought in $6.5 billion from foreign nations since 1990.
A major aspect of the alleged foreign influence on universities is through gifts and grants, which can come with strings attached and might compromise their academic independence.
“This is about transparency,” U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos said in a statement Wednesday. “If colleges and universities are accepting foreign money and gifts, their students, donors, and taxpayers deserve to know how much and from whom. Moreover, it’s what the law requires. Unfortunately, the more we dig, the more we find that too many are underreporting or not reporting at all. We will continue to hold colleges and universities accountable and work with them to ensure their reporting is full, accurate, and transparent, as required by the law.”
On top of failing to disclose possible financial conflicts to academic freedom, Harvard even sponsored a 30-year old Chinese national who’ve attempted to steal research.
The Chinese national, Zaosong Zheng, was recently arrested at Boston Logan International Airport allegedly with stolen 21 vials of cancer research material he was attempting to smuggle to China. Prosecutors alleged he attempted to steal the material to bring to China so he could conduct his own research in his laboratory.
In addition to Zaosong’s arrest, Charles Lieber, the chairman of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard, was arrested on Jan. 28 on charges he lied about his ties the Chinese government’s Thousand Talents Plan.
Lieber also allegedly admitted that Harvard lacks the ability to track very large donations, a point echoed in the Education Department’s statement.
“The Department is also concerned Harvard University may lack appropriate institutional controls over foreign money and has failed to report fully all foreign gifts and contracts as required by law,” the Education Department statement read.
The Boston region is in itself a hotbed for Chinese government espionage and research theft, U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling claimed last month.
“This is a small sample of China’s ongoing campaign to siphon off American technology and know-how for Chinese gain,” he said. “Chinese economic espionage and theft is a real and daily occurrence that we must begin to confront.”
“As demonstrated by these cases, on the academic side, the Chinese government uses partnerships and exchanges with U.S. schools and research institutions to access cutting-edge research and equipment,” Lelling added. “Obviously, most visiting Chinese academics and researchers are here to work in good faith in U.S. institutions. But some of them are not.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Throughout the ups and downs of life, humans can always count on their faithful canine companions. These cute critters seem to have a special connection with young people. Your youngster has already had one of the greatest companions they will ever have if your household has a dog.
Everyone in the family must be overjoyed to have a new addition. The news that you have a human sibling is exciting news for your furry guys just as much as it is for you. Sure enough, that’s what we see in the family’s online Malamute photos and videos!
The Malamute Family of three (mom, dad, and daughter) have become Internet celebrities thanks to their interesting accounts chronicling their daily lives with their pets (a cat called Milo and a Golden Retriever named Buddy).
Baby Nathan was born a few weeks ago to proud parents Emma and John. Shane and Emma are overjoyed to welcome their newborn son into their family and share him with big sister Amelia and their animal children.
Even though animals can’t speak, there are many methods to communicate their excitement. Shane posted a photo of one of the dogs greeting the infant as he was bouncing his fluffy body with joy on Instagram. The dogs took an instant like to Nathan and went into protective mode as soon as they saw him. They all took turns remaining with the baby, with the exception of Buddy, the Golden Retriever.
Buddy’s favorite thing to do is to snuggle up close to Nathan. Because the infant is still too little to hold a blanket, the dog takes on that role instead. The fuzzy creature occasionally sleeps close to the infant and places his nose on Nathan’s legs.
Dear Buddy follows his new baby brother or sister wherever he goes because he wants to gaze into his eyes. This Golden Retriever has met a newborn baby and now won’t leave his side. He’s like a little shadow, always close by (well, so he can’t travel too far since he needs to be held), but always there. “For some reason, all of our dogs seem to automatically go into a tiny fluffy protective mode,” dad Shane said.
How nice and loving Buddy is with his human brother. You can count on them to make a great pair in the years to come.

I recently had the privilege of attending a teachers’ conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The conference was great and I learned a lot, but I especially enjoyed seeing Kuala Lumpur. The Petronas Towers and Batu Caves were two of my favorite sites.
At 88 storeys, the Petronas Towers are the world’s tallest twin towers. They’re connected by the world’s highest, longest double-decker skybridge. Stately during the day, they gleam like a fairy tale palace at night. Pictures don’t do them justice, but if you ever go to Kuala Lumpur, you’ll see what I mean!
The Batu Caves are a series of large caverns that have been turned into a Hindu religious site. The gold-painted statue in front is 140 feet tall! After crossing the courtyard in the temple complex, you climb 272 steep steps to get to the main cave entrance. There are cute but annoying nearly-tame monkeys all around the steps begging and grabbing for food.
Inside the high caverns are a number of shrines, statues, carvings, etc. depicting various Hindu religious scenes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dear Commons Community,
The Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee voted along party lines yesterday to publicly release a report on Donald Trump’s tax returns, which the former president has long tried to shield.
Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., said supporting materials will be released along with the report. Texas Rep. Kevin Brady, the committee’s top Republican, raised concerns about privacy as the documents could contain information such as Social Security numbers.
The report could provide a fuller look into Trump’s personal and business finances, possibly revealing how much money he paid in taxes, what income he derived from foreign operations and whether his income was as large as the reputed multibillionaire has suggested.
The report comes after a years-long battle that ultimately resulted in the Supreme Court clearing the way last month for the Treasury Department to send the returns to Congress. The committee received six years of tax returns for Trump and some of his businesses.
Democrats were under pressure to act. With just two weeks left until Republicans formally take control of the House, yesterday’s meeting was an opportunity for Democrats to disclose whatever information they have gleaned on Trump who still shapes U.S. politics despite losing reelection in 2020. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

We, the undersigned Rohingya Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) from Cox’s Bazar refugee camps, are deeply concerned and frustrated with the decision made by the World Food Programme (WFP) in Cox’s Bazar to cut food rations for Rohingya beneficiaries.
We strongly believe that the shortage of funding for the Rohingya response is a failure of the United Nations. We are already a significant burden for Bangladesh. This announcement of cutting food rations will create a devastating situation for the Rohingya and will have severe implications, including child labor, human trafficking, child marriage, illegal activities, prostitution, and a hostile environment.
The timing of this decision, just before the month of Holy Ramadan, is particularly insensitive and obnoxious.
The price of food in Bangladesh is getting higher day by day, but the assistance of food for Rohingya is set at $10 per person per month, which is 0.3 dollars per day or 0.1 dollars per meal or around 10 Bangladeshi taka. How does the WFP think that 10 Bangladeshi taka per meal is sufficient for a Rohingya?
We urge the WFP to reduce unnecessary costs and wastage, particularly for their staff members. We believe that it is unacceptable for WFP staff members to use private AC cars, stay at 5-star hotels, and receive thousands of dollars while the Rohingya community suffers. This is not in line with WFP’s mission of “Saving Life, Changing Life,” but rather it seems to be “Saving Life, Changing Staff Members’ Lives.” Cutting food rations for the vulnerable Rohingya community in this situation is tantamount to committing genocide of the Rohingya.
We want to emphasize that any decision taken by humanitarian groups and other actors without the participation of Rohingya community-based organizations, community key persons, and leaders is not acceptable. We must be involved in all decisions that affect our community.
We call on the international community to not only cut our food but also make time to help us return to our home, as repatriation is the only long-term solution to these frustrating issues.

You'd have to measure it. You could get a good estimate from comparing claw mass and/or volume.
Scorpions do seem to have a more flighty nature to them. Crayfish don't have sensory hairs and instead have somewhat good eyesight.From personal experience of being pinched by both crayfish and numerous Pandinus and Heterometrus species of the same size, I would say that they're fairly similar, with perhaps a slight edge to the crustaceans. (However this may be due to that the scorpions usually let go quite quickly after pinching me, rather than holding on like the crayfish.)
Well like @Collin Clary said, scorpions jab more than they really pinch. It's much more defensive than the aggressive pinches of crustaceans. Like "whoah, buddy, I'll grab you harder next time if you don't back off". The crabs can see what they're doing. I've seen some of those retarded bug fight videos on Youtube of scorpions vs crayfish or crabs, and the scorpions usually win due to their venom. But the crayfish and the scorpion both seem to have no injuries whatsoever.Ive been pinched several good times by emperors and red claws but they've never been close enough to draw blood. Id rate them a little stronger than crayfish and fiddler crabs (which Ive stuck my fingers in their pincers before just for fun when catching them ).
crabs hurt like heck and can easily draw blood or crush through a fingernail (I don't get pinched by them for fun ). even hermit crabs hurt more than scorpions IMO.
Lobsters are really strong and getting pinched would just be a really bad idea.
Yeah scorpions do the jab thing as a defensive strike. Feeding responses involve grabbing and attempting to crush the prey. The same can be seen with tarantulas, where a defensive bite is a fast strike and backing off, but a feeding response is to grab the prey and bite it and just mangle it. I guess the scorpions and tarantulas know they if they hold on, their attacker will fling them around and they'll die from being thrown. In the water that doesn't happen, hence why crustaceans hold on for dear life.I will say that I was pinched very hard by one of my P. imperator once; it did draw blood.
In this situation though it was a feeding response rather than a defensive one. I was cleaning the enclosure, and had set down the forceps in front of the piece of bark that the scorpion was hiding under. When I went to pick up the forceps, one of the scorpions immediately reached out and grabbed my pinky finger hard with its chela, and held on for a moment rather than immediately letting go as they typically do. (It had mistaken my finger for a prey item.)
Even in that situation though, it didn't hold on nearly as long as crayfish normally do. I was doing a survey of the crayfish population for a creek for a zoology class, and I must have been pinched a few dozen times in one day, by crayfish of a wide variety of sizes (including ones that were quite large). The little bastards didn't want to let you when the pinched you, and would continue to hold on even after you released them. I had a couple of the larger ones draw blood.
I'll add a little of my experience in case anyone has any curiosity here. I've never been pinched by any scorpion except Hadogenes troglodytes, definitely a strong pinch. Before I got into arachnids I did fish and many species of crayfish and in my experience I believe crayfish claws are not that strong. The majority of the pain you receive from what I have experienced is from the tips of their claws which have a small inward facing spike on both sides. The reason I came to this conclusion is catching many wild crayfish. I have found a number of them missing the tips of the claws and I felt little to no discomfort when they would pinch. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Konjarnik is an urban neighborhood of Belgrade. It is divided between Belgrade's municipalities of Vozdovac and Zvezdara. As a large neighborhood, it has several sub-neighborhoods of its own, including Denkova Basta, Uciteljsko Naselje and Rudo. Constructing a neighborhood began in 1960s and continued in the 1970s, creating an urban connection between old Belgrade on the west and Mali Mokri Lug on the east.
Rudo is a complex of three large buildings, each with 30 floors, over 100 meters in height and, therefore, share between themselves 4th place on list of tallest buildings in Belgrade and also in Serbia. Though officially styled Rudo (after a Bosnian town), the buildings are known as the Eastern Gate of Belgrade. All three buildings are step-like and triangular shaped, built in a circle so it always visually appears than one is between the other two. Buildings, styled Rudo 1, Rudo 2 and Rudo 3, were settled in 1976, but never fully completed, as the facade wasn't finished. Since the 1990s, due to the lack of maintenance, buildings were known for elevator and water pumps problems. Reconstruction began in April 2008. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
After World War II the building became the headquarters of the Belgrade publishing graphic Institute (BIGZ). The building is located in a prominent position along the river Sava. It occupies the dimensions of 60x75 meters and has the lower body of five and the higher of eleven floors. Top floor is defined as a semi-circular tower. Facades are defined with ribbon windows. Brasovan defined optimal solution for the organization of the production process with the free plan and reinforced concrete structure in the production floors. Spacious roof terrace on top floor provides a fascinating look at the center of Belgrade and affirms the modernist postulates of Le Corbusier architecture. This building is one of the paradigms of modernism in Belgrade.

Kitchener-Waterloo felt vibrations as the fourth biennial Impact Theatre Festival took place in the region over the past week. From Sept. 22-27, a variety of productions took place at multiple theatre locales honoring international cultures, people, and languages. </p>
Referred to as Impact 15, the festival is an initiative hosted by the MT Space Theatre Group in downtown Kitchener. The productions include plays, lectures, conferences, and venues aimed at connecting traditional and mainstream artwork from around the world. The event includes productions from locations like Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver, Australia, Morocco, and even Kitchener itself.
In 2013, the last time this festival took place, Impact 13 saw over 4,000 people attend.
Majdi Bou-Matar, founder of MT Space and artistic director of Impact, said that the attendance at the festival has been “rising steadily since 2009.” With big hopes for future years, he adds that “the audience numbers are growing and not going back.”
Each festival sees a variety of new programs. This year, one such production was the Stage & Story Market that took place Saturday at the Kitchener Market and Sunday at the Art District Gallery. This market invited artists and members of the community to share stories in a variety of forms including music, poetry, and song.
Bou-Matar believes that the festival’s impact is significant to the residents of Kitchener-Waterloo. “[Impact 15] is very important because it expresses and enhances the community’s culture,” he said, adding that that the younger population “provides energy of cultural intersection and creativity,” making the multicultural influence of the festival important to the students in the region.
One program that targeted the younger generation was the youth conference that took place at the KW Youth Theatre on Sunday.
The youth conference, and many of the other conferences, focused on technology and its influence in marginalized cultures and theatre, a key theme amongst several of the programs in the festival.
Technology was also a theme for an event called Landline, which allowed participants to share a tour of Kitchener with other audience members by sharing guided stories, memories, and secrets simultaneously through text message. This program was developed with the purpose to expose participants to the feeling of “being alone together.”
In partnership with Impact 15, the UW department of history and Aboriginal Education Centre, along with multiple other sponsors, hosted a lecture by famous playwright Tomson Highway at the Modern Languages Theatre on Sept. 24. The lecture focused on his novel A Tale of Monstrous Extravagance, which recounts the languages and communities that have shaped Highway’s upbringing.
Highway, a Cree native who was born in northern Manitoba to famous caribou hunter Joe Highway and his partner Pelagie Highway, has written several award-winning plays and novels including theatrical performances The Rez Sisters and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing, and novel Kiss of the Fur Queen.
Susan Roy, an assistant history professor, contacted Highway in hopes he would speak to students at the university. “[Highway] is key in invigorating indigenous literature and theatre in Canada,” she said, adding that “it is wonderful when students hear and see from the people they are reading.”
Highway’s lecture focused on a reading from his novel A Tale of Monstrous Extravagance. Common themes in his lecture included multiculturalism, gender equality, musicality, and multilingualism. In particular, he played a song he wrote in Cree that contained Brazilian jazz influences.
When asked about the influence he hopes his work has on post-secondary students, Highway said, “I love students, it is a magical time of life, a time to learn.” He added that “there is a no better time to move onto other languages besides English,” again highlighting the key topic of his lecture and novel, multilingualism.
Shawn Johnson, the events co-ordinator for the Aboriginal Education Centre at UW and host of the presentation, concluded after the presentation that “Aboriginal Peoples have so few visible role models in the media so it is important that we continue to help create spaces where people like Highway can come and engage students.”
One highlight of Highway’s lecture was his sense of humour, where multiple times in the presentation he engaged the students in laughter. “My favourite sound in the world is people laughing,” he said after his presentation.
With such a positive response, there is no doubt that Impact will grow and continue to make an impression on the Kitchener-Waterloo community. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Elon Musk spent the weekend further alienating Twitter users with more drastic changes to the social media giant, and he is facing a new challenge as tech nemesis Mark Zuckerberg prepares to launch a rival app this week.
Zuckerberg’s Meta group, which owns Facebook, has listed a new app in stores as “Threads, an Instagram app”, available for pre-order in the United States, with a message saying it is “expected” this Thursday.
The two men have clashed for years but a recent comment by a Meta executive suggesting that Twitter was not run “sanely” irked Musk, eventually leading to the two men offering each other out for a cage fight.
Since buying Twitter last year for $44 billion, Musk has fired thousands of employees and charged users $8 a month to have a blue checkmark and a “verified” account.
On the weekend, he limited the posts readers could view and decreed that nobody could look at a tweet unless they were logged in, meaning external links no longer work for many.
He said he needed to fire up extra servers just to cope with the demand as artificial intelligence (AI) companies scraped “extreme levels” of data to train their models.
But commentators have poured scorn on that idea and marketing experts say he has massively alienated both his user base and the advertisers he needs to get profits rolling.
In another move that shocked users, Twitter announced Monday that access to TweetDeck, an app that allows users to monitor several accounts at once, would be limited to verified accounts next month.
John Wihbey, an associate professor of media innovation and technology at Northeastern University, told AFP that plenty of people wanted to quit Twitter for ethical reasons after Musk took over, but he had now given them a technical reason to leave too.
And he added that Musk’s decision to sack thousands of workers meant it had long been expected that the site would become “technically unusable”.
– ‘Remarkably bad’ –
Musk has said he wants to make Twitter less reliant on advertising and boost income from subscriptions.
Yet he chose advertising specialist Linda Yaccarino as his chief executive recently, and she has spoken of going into “hand-to-hand combat” to win back advertisers.
“How do you tell Twitter advertisers that your most engaged free users potentially will never see their ads because of data caps on their usage,” tweeted Justin Taylor, a former marketing executive at Twitter.
Mike Proulx, vice president at market research firm Forrester, said the weekend’s chaos had been “remarkably bad” for both users and advertisers.
“Advertisers depend on reach and engagement yet Twitter is currently decimating both,” he told AFP.
He said Twitter had “moved from stable to startup” and Yaccarino, who remained silent over the weekend, would struggle to restore its credibility, leaving the door open to Twitter’s rivals to suck up any cash from advertisers.
– ‘Open secret’ –
The technical reasons Musk gave for limiting the views of users immediately brought a backlash.
Many social media users speculated that Musk had simply failed to pay the bill for his servers.
French social data analyst Florent Lefebvre said AI firms were more likely to train their models on books and media articles than social network content, which “is of much poorer quality, full of mistakes and lacking in context”.
Yoel Roth, who stepped down as Twitter’s head of security weeks after Musk took over, said the idea that data scraping had caused such performance problems that users needed to be forced to log in “doesn’t pass the sniff test”.
“Scraping was the open secret of Twitter data access,” he wrote on the Bluesky social network — another Twitter rival.
“We knew about it. It was fine.”

Toyota City, Japan, Aug 25, 2023 – (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) – Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF) will conduct verification testing at the fifth round of the Japanese Endurance Race ENEOS Super Taikyu Series 2023 Supported by BRIDGESTONE, Motegi Super Taikyu 5-hour Race (5hrs X 1 race), to be held on September 2-3. The testing will be conducted in the “Mobility for ALL–Bringing the Potential of Mobility to Everyone” category of TMF’s Make a Move Project, an idea contest aiming to realize the practical implementation of ideas and solutions in society.
Contest website: https://mobility-contest.jp/department1-2023/
In the “Mobility for ALL–Bringing the Potential of Mobility to Everyone” category of this idea contest, which started in 2022, ideas are publicly solicited for solving mobility issues at race circuits and traveling to and from them, as well as for enabling everyone, regardless of disability, to enjoy motorsports. This year, out of more than 70 applications from Japan and overseas, 12 teams were selected based on the perspectives of relevant parties, the innovativeness of the proposals, and the opinions of outside experts. In May, these teams were awarded grants (up to 20 million yen per project) to facilitate activities for verification testing. A total of 20 teams, these 12 teams plus 8 finalists from FY2022, will conduct verification testing at Mobility Resort Motegi on September 2-3.
On the test days, people with disabilities and the general public will participate and verify the benefits and effectiveness of the initiatives. We will also work to engage a wider audience through activities such as soliciting support messages for each team’s trial.
After this round of verification testing, a final selection is scheduled for October. Selections will be made from the perspectives of social impact, sustainability, and other factors. The selected projects will be awarded further support funding (totaling approximately 150 million yen) to work toward the social implementation of their projects.

I can relate to this one. I’m going through a battle with myself over taking on many of my friends problems and trying to solve them all. An impossible task. I’ve had to make some ground rules with them lately but they still depend on me to help them, when actually they need to learn to help themselves. They just can’t see a way out of their problems or do but won’t take the steps needed to get there. They rely on me to save the day (temporarily).

Housed within the Rhode Island Department of Health, the mission of the Rhode Island Asthma Control Program (RIACP) is to reduce the overall asthma burden and asthma health disparities in the state. The program provides community-based services and interventions for children 17 years and younger with asthma in four high-poverty, urban “core cities” throughout the state, where the burden of asthma is the highest. The burden of asthma also falls disproportionately on black and Hispanic children, children in low-income households, and children living in low-income urban neighborhoods. These children are not only at high risk of developing asthma but also are at risk of having more severe asthma once the disease develops. Among children living in the core cities, the rate of primary asthma hospitalizations was twice as high compared with the rest of the state.
RIACP is well-known for its long-term partnerships with researchers and hospitals, as well as public health, housing, social justice and environmental organizations across the state, including Hasbro Children’s Hospital, St. Joseph Health Center, the Asthma Regional Council of New England, UnitedHealthcare®, and the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative. Additionally, RIACP’s efforts are focused around a collaborative approach with linkages between healthy housing, the health care sector, and other regional collaborations. RIACP’s work to reduce the asthma burden in Rhode Island is critical for developing, evaluating and sustaining the program’s strategies to expand the reach of its comprehensive asthma services. RIACP was recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for its reimbursement efforts and participated in the CDC’s 6|18 Initiative. Through this national leadership program, RIACP received CDC technical assistance and Medicaid support to develop a business case for the reimbursement of RIACP’s asthma home-visiting initiative, the Home Asthma Response Program (HARP).
HARP is an evidence-based program established in 2010 to address the needs of children with poorly controlled asthma and uses certified asthma educators (AE-Cs) and community health workers (CHWs) to conduct up to three intensive in-home sessions for each child. During these home visits, AE-Cs and CHWs provide tailored educational and environmental services, including an extensive environmental assessment, asthma self-management education, and cost-effective supplies to reduce home asthma triggers. CHWs have reported reductions in environmental triggers, including mold, pests, dust, pets, tobacco smoke and chemicals. In addition, using hospital claims data, the program was able to show a 75% reduction in asthma-related hospital and emergency department costs for HARP participants. For every $1 invested, HARP participants realized a $1.33 return on investment. The program recently expanded to provide HARP home-visiting services statewide for Medicaid-enrolled children.
In 2015, RIACP and partners launched the Comprehensive Integrated Asthma Care System (CIACS) to link home-based, school-based and health systems interventions as one unified package. HARP became one of four interventions offered, in addition to the Breathe Easy at Home Project, Controlling Asthma in Schools Effectively Project, and Draw A Breath workshop program. These interventions have been implemented in the four core cities, and a CIACS Advisory Group—comprising public health professionals, asthma researchers, a nurse, CHWs, and a data manager—works collaboratively on the implementation and evaluation of asthma services. The CIACS Advisory Group is Rhode Island’s first researcher-practitioner partnership to reduce the burden of asthma in children.
RIACP has been successful in serving children with poorly controlled asthma and reducing these children’s likelihood of repeated asthma emergency department visits and inpatient hospitalizations. RIACP also has also built partnerships with local, statewide, regional and national partners to reduce individual- and neighborhood-level disparities in pediatric asthma. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
New York, NY (May 15, 2023) - Atari® announced the closing of the acquisition of Nightdive Studios, a full service game development and publishing company based in Vancouver, Washington. Nightdive has expertise in restoring, optimizing, and publishing classic video games. The studio has published over 100 titles and has garnered critical acclaim for their releases of seminal industry and fan-favorite titles including System Shock, Doom 64, and Quake.
With this acquisition Atari will enrich its large library of owned IP, be able to leverage Nightdive’s proprietary technology, and utilize Nightdive’s publishing capabilities in order to support Atari’s retro-focused growth strategy.
“Our shared passion for preservation and innovation in retro gaming makes Atari the ideal partner, and our team is excited to take this next step,” said Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive. “Atari’s support is going to allow us to grow our business and expand our reach.”
“Nightdive has a tremendously talented team and they’ve earned their reputation as leaders in retro gaming,” said Wade Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Atari. “Like the rest of their fans, I’m looking forward to their upcoming releases, and I am confident we will help their business flourish.”
A key to the success of Night Dive is their proprietary KEX engine, that makes classic games playable on modern hardware and gives the studio the ability to enhance and improve upon the original to meet the expectations of contemporary players. The studio’s reputation and deep industry knowledge have made them a go-to partner for some of the largest names in gaming and media, and allowed them to develop a diversified portfolio of titles. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
It was only when he arrived in front of the house that he realized it was missing from him and he couldn't rest until he searched for it everywhere. He rummaged through every place he remembered going to. It wasn't at the railway, much less in the flea market where he earned his living by selling knickknacks, it was as if the ground had swallowed it. It was past midnight when tired of searching he abandoned all hope and headed home. Stepping underneath the faint light of the lamppost at the corner of the street, he saw it following him as usual. He exhaled in relief. He wasn't alone anymore.

Real Fiction is a collective project started in 2013 by Florin Piersic Jr. The concept of Real Fiction continued to exist as a Facebook group, after a volume of stories was published at Humanitas Publishing House. (In May 2023, the group has 11,260 members.) The authors write ultra-short stories, with the texts limited to 500 characters (in Romanian, so the length of the English translation might be a little different) - a flash-fiction exercise on a topic that changes every few days. The group's coordinators are Florin Piersic Jr., Gabriel Molnar, Răzvan Penescu, Luchian Abel, and Vlad Mușat. (Drawing by Adrian T. Roman)

Drawn by a need to tell cinematic stories with her music, Netherlands-born composer Sunna Wehrmeijer eventually made her way to Hollywood. Starting piano at four, her original work was published in the Netherlands by the age of fifteen. The pull of Hollywood scores brought her to Los Angeles. Having completed a Master’s of Arts degree at the University of Amsterdam and the School of Art, Sunna joined the UCLA Extension Film Scoring Program.

Taylor Swift the celebrity is such a magnet for attention, she can distract from Taylor Swift the artist. But Swift was a songwriter before she was a star, and she’ll be a songwriter long after she graduates from that racket. It’s in her music where she’s made her mark on history — as a performer, record-crafter, guitar hero and all-around pop mastermind, with songs that can leave you breathless or with a nasty scar. She was soaring on the level of the all-time greats before she was old enough to rent a car, with the crafty guile of a Carole King and the reckless heart of a Paul Westerberg — and she hasn’t exactly slowed down since then.
So with all due respect to Taylor the myth, the icon, the red-carpet tabloid staple, let’s celebrate the real Taylor — the songwriter she was born to be. Let’s break it down: all 243 tunes, counted from the bottom to the top. The hits, the flops, the deep cuts, the covers, from her raw 2006 debut as a teen country ingenue right up to Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department.
Every fan would compile a different list—that’s the beauty of it. She’s got at least 5 or 6 dozen songs that seem to belong in her Top Ten. But they’re not ranked by popularity, sales or supposed celebrity quotient — just the level of Taylor genius on display, from the perspective of a fan who generally does not give a rat’s nads who the songs are “really” about. All that matters is whether they’re about you and me. (I guarantee you are a more fascinating human than the Twilight guy, though I’m probably not.)
Since Taylor loves nothing more than causing chaos in our lives, she’s re-recording her albums, including the outtakes she left in the vault before. So far, she’s up to Fearless, Red, Speak Now, and 1989 For the Taylor’s Version remakes, both versions count as the same song. It’s a tribute to her fierce creative energy — in the past couple years she’s released an avalanche of new music, with more on the way. God help us all.
Sister Tay may be the last true rock star on the planet, making brilliant moves (or catastrophic gaffes, because that’s what rock stars do). These are the songs that sum up her wit, her empathy, her flair for emotional excess, her girls-to-the-front bravado, her urge to ransack every corner of pop history, her determination to turn any chorus into a ridiculous spectacle. So let’s step back from the image and pay homage to her one-of-a-kind songbook — because the weirdest and most fascinating thing about Taylor Swift will always be her music.
From Rolling Stone US | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Sydney electronic pop extraordinaire Jazzy K has shared a pair of live tracks for the latest instalment of Rolling Stone’s ‘In My Room’, a series in which artists perform from home following a year which has seen live shows become a rarity.
If you’ve been ensuring your finger is firmly on the pulse of local music, then the name Jazzy K will in no way be a new one to you. With the Sydney artist’s powerful voice turning heads for ages, recent years have seen her releasing a string of slick singles, and now focusing on breaking into the elusive US market.
However, even with a rapidly-rising profile, Jazzy K has found the time to record a wonderful live session for our ‘In My Room’ session, offering up renditions of her recent singles for our listening pleasure.
Armed with a minimal setup of just a microphone and backing track, Jazzy K kicks things off with May’s “Trap House”, allowing her mesmerising, blissful voice to stand front and centre as its empowering message washes over you.
“I wrote that song when I had just come back from this trip to LA and I had to make a pretty big decision,” Jazzy K recalls. “I really just had to remind myself to trust myself, and that’s what that song reminds me all the time, and I hope it remind you guys to always trust your gut instincts and stay true to who you are.”
Moving on to her 2019 single “You Are”, the world-beating artist explains how her debut single was one that came from a deeply personal place, and one that aims to make a difference in the world.
“I wrote this song to raise a very important message about bullying and it’s really just to remind people that if someone’s putting you down, it’s usually just a reflection of how they see themselves or an insecurity of their own,” she explains. “All of the profits of this song go to an anti-bulling charity called Ditch the Label.”
Closing things out with recent single, “Don’t Look Back”, Jazzy K undeniably showcases her talent as not only a stunning songwriter and performer, but also a major name to watch in the global music industry. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Lounge Chair in Wood, 2017
European oak, untreated
72.5 x 71 x 69.5 cm
One-off object donated from the inventory of Herzog & de Meuron
Sold for: | CHF 100,000 |
What distinguishes a design classic? It should be comfortable and functional and, in the best instance, possess a timeless elegance. Three criteria not easily combined, but which unquestionably apply to the Lounge Chair in Wood created in 2017 by the Basel architects Herzog & de Meuron. The design has its origins in a project for a lounge in New York, out of which the lounge chair for the Volkshaus Basel Hotel ultimately developed. Up for auction is the one-off version of one of the first prototypes. Whereas the seat of the later model is strung with polyester cord, the present chair is made entirely of white oak. Whatever the case, you'll be sitting in the best company-from Mies van der Rohe to Lina Bo Bardi, and from Max Bill to David Adjaye, all great architects have demonstrated their creative talents in the sphere of furniture design, too. Herzog & de Meuron need no further introduction in Basel, or indeed anywhere else. We may nevertheless mention a brief selection from the impressive list of their internationally distinguished architectural projects. The Tate Modern in London (UK) opened in 2000, followed by the Schaulager in Basel (CH) in 2003, the de Young Museum in San Francisco (USA) in 2005, the Pérez Art Museum in Miami (USA) in 2013, and the M+ Museum in Hong Kong in 2021. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Assisting the foundry casting community and consumers of castings in Australia and New Zealand with Strategic connections, Business-Process Development, Project Management, and Product supply chains.
A foundry is a factory that produces metal castings. Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal in a mold, and removing the mold material or casting after the metal has solidified as it cools. The most common metals processed are aluminium and cast iron. However, other metals, such as bronze, brass, steel, magnesium, and zinc, are also used to produce castings in foundries. In this process, parts of desired shapes and sizes can be formed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Saxon Warrior, a once famous racer that turned heads early in his career, is showing signs that he may be ready to take on the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby, which will be taking place at the Curragh. Adion O’Brien has told reporters that he believes the horse is ready for the Derby, and that fans will see more improvement over time.
Saxon Warrior, the son of Deep Impact, showed great promise thanks to victory in the 2000 Guineas, which took place at Newmarket. Many believed that his victory had the potential to lead the racer to a Triple Crown win. But the dreams were quickly shattered at Epsom when he finished fourth in the Investec Derby. O’Brien nonetheless maintains that it was a learning experience for Saxon Warrior, and that he’s confident the horse will fare better in the Irish Derby thanks to its more conventional track.
O’Brien went on to say that the racer seems good so far, and that Donnacha’s training has proven that he’s ready for the Irish Derby, and that the whole team was looking forward to it. He added that Warrior ran a good race at Epsom, but he was still a little babyish and that he was new to the experience after having only run on conventional tracks previously.
Other racers to be expected at the Irish Derby include Dee Ex Bee, a runner-up from Epsom that missed the Royal Ascot but is primed for the upcoming Derby event.

Home to a population of 51,000 along Quebec’s Saint-Maurice river, the City of Shawinigan has placed an order with Coencorp for a fully automated fleet fueling system. Shawinigan’s existing fuel management system is severely outdated, prompting the city’s decision to change it.
The city had previously updated their fleet maintenance software; however, it soon realized that it was ineffective owing to inaccurate information input at the front end. Coencorp’s fully automated fueling technology, with its proprietary Vehicle Data Units, will resolve this issue by delivering odometer readings, engine hours, and engine fault codes every time a vehicle comes to the yard for fueling. And the Coencorp solution’s ability to easily integrate with the existing maintenance software means that consistently accurate vehicular data is ensured with high frequency, thus enabling the proper performance of the maintenance software.
“Our SM2-FUEL management solution unburdens busy fleet managers from the tedious chore of cleansing vehicle data by automatically feeding accurate information into maintenance management systems, and it does so without busting our clients’ budgets with recurring per-vehicle fees. Further, the fuel consumption data that are simultaneously captured with this solution is invaluable for the reconciliation of fuel inventories,” states Coencorp CEO Ali Tavassoli.
The new automated fleet fuel management system will be operational in the coming months.
Mr. Tavassoli adds, “The City of Shawinigan is yet another in a long list of municipalities that now use Coencorp’s SM2 fleet management solutions for fuel and maintenance management, telematics, and security. We welcome Shawinigan into the Coencorp family.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
An car window tint gives you a variety of benefits. It can help protect the color of your upholstery because the film can block UV rays. It also helps maintain a cooler temperature inside your vehicle so you don’t have to use your air conditioner as much. Installing a window film is not that expensive. However, the car window tint prices change depending on some factors. Below are some of the factors that can influence the price of getting your windows tinted:
Factors for Car Window Tint Prices
Number of Windows:
When you search for places offer car window tint services in the Holmdel, NJ area, you should check how much they charge for each window. Smaller cars have around five windows, excluding the windshield. Larger vehicles like sedans and SUVs have around seven to ten auto glass. The total window tinting price for a regular-sized car can cost at most $500 depending on the type of film you wish to use.
Type of Window Tint:
In order to find best window tint film, you should consider what you want for your car. Not all tints are made equal. There are some that last longer, such as the hybrid film and carbon window tint film. Others such as the dyed film tend to fade and wear out faster. Some films like the metallized tints are also more efficient in blocking off UV rays, so they are more expensive than the regular films.
Type of Car:
The pricing of a window film is also affected by the type of vehicle that you have. Some cars are harder to tint, so you can also expect to pay more. This is why when you call a company about tint pricing, they will ask you about the vehicle you use. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Introduction Because classic Kaposi's sarcoma (CKS) is currently regarded as a low-grade vascular malignancy, it has been usually known as indolent clinical course. The slow-growing neoplasms are usually asymptomatic and rarely systematically progressive. Although CKS is a chronic disease which is rarely life-threatening, systemic therapy may be necessary in some patients with symptomatic skin or visceral involvement. Case report In this report, we presented a 92-year-old CKS man with widespread and symptomatic skin lesions. Management and outcome Patient was treated successfully with ultra-low dose oral etoposide; 50 mg/day for 7 days. Cycles were repeated in every 21 days. There was a dramatic regression in all lesions at the end of treatment; only skin colorations were persisted instead of palpable nodular lesions. Moreover, no serious hematological and non-hematological adverse events were observed. Discussion Fragile advanced CKS patients with advanced age and/or comorbitidies need to be considered to optimize outcomes. Treatment with single-agent oral chemotherapy, oral ultra-low dose etoposide, may be one of the effective treatment styles. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
