Polls show about 20% of Americans favor the Palestinians in their war against Israel, while about half the US population now expresses an unease with Muslims in general. Meanwhile a large minority of Muslims, according to polls, condones terrorist attacks on civilians, while a vast majority is vehemently anti-American. Their prejudice apparently is chalked up to our omnipresence—like saving Kuwait, feeding Somalia, stopping Muslims dying en masse in the Balkans, ridding Afghanistan of the Soviets, paying astronomical prices for their oil, and giving nearly $100 billion over the years to the Egyptians, Jordanians, and Palestinians.
It is probably useless for the U.S. to expect even the tiniest bit of gratitude from a part of the world that is so steeped in paranoia and delusion and so much in denial about its own failures, but Hanson can't also help pointing out the obvious:
Our prejudice surely could not be due to 19 Muslims slaughtering— to the delight of millions—3,000 Americans, nor to the news almost every hour of Christian-Muslim violence, Hindu-Muslim violence, Buddhist-Muslim violence, or secular-Muslim violence. And now the much circulated quote from Sheik Ahmad Bahr, acting Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council:
“You will be victorious” on the face of this planet. You are the masters of the world on the face of this planet. Yes, [the Koran says that] “you will be victorious,” but only “if you are believers.” Allah willing, “you will be victorious,” while America and Israel will be annihilated. I guarantee you that the power of belief and faith is greater than the power of America and Israel. They are cowards, who are eager for life, while we are eager for death for the sake of Allah. That is why America’s nose was rubbed in the mud in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Somalia, and everywhere… Oh Allah, vanquish the Jews and their supporters. Oh Allah, count their numbers, and kill them all, down to the very last one. Oh Allah, show them a day of darkness. Oh Allah, who sent down His Book, the mover of the clouds, who defeated the enemies of the Prophet defeat the Jews and the Americans, and bring us victory over them.”
And wait till these people get the bomb. So much for the war against Islamism being “over.”
Yes, this is the reality, whether the left, the Democrats, the deep-thinking celebrities, the pundits, the bloggers etc. etc. like it or not. This time around we are not deality with a simple megalomaniac like a Hitler or a Saddam; we are dealing with a megalomaniacal religion, whose members march in goose(allah?)-step to thousands of petty little punks like Sheik Ahmad Bahr.
What is it about Islam that it has produced such an incredible bumper crop of sociopaths bent on bringing about world domination? Nevermind, that was a rhetorical question. Whatever the answer, those sociopaths, in the name of Allah the Magnificent and Merciful, i.e. Skeletor. are working diligently on their plans for planetary conquest. And, don't blame me for this He-man analogy, the Islamists are the ones who have turned their god into a creature of pure evil-- all so that they can become the new masters of the universe.
I wonder how the left will feel under the boot of an ideology even more oppressive than their own? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Unsure About Your Child’s Dental Diagnosis, Treatment Plan or Procedure?
Taking care of your child’s oral health is of utmost importance, and choosing the right dental provider is a critical decision for the years to come. As a responsible parent, you must be careful when selecting a dental care provider for your child. However, in some cases, you may need a dental second opinion to ensure the best possible outcome for your child’s oral health. In this blog post, we will share with you why dental second opinions are important for your child’s oral health.
A Fresh Perspective
When it comes to dental care, a second opinion from another pediatric dentist can be helpful. It brings in a fresh set of eyes and a new perspective that can be ideal when deciding on a dental procedure or a treatment plan. This new perspective helps to confirm that the dental procedure is the right one for the child and makes sure the treatment is effective in the long-term.
Sometimes, a diagnosis from a single dentist can be mistaken or misdiagnosed. In such instances, getting a pediatric dentistry second opinion can help confirm or challenge the dentist’s diagnosis. As a parent, it’s important to know that your child’s oral health is in good hands, and that their diagnosis is accurate. This way, you can have peace of mind knowing that you are making the right choice for your child’s dental health.
Alternative Treatment Options
A second opinion can help you and your child understand various treatment options available to remedy the dental problem. If the dentist’s current treatment plan does not work out for your child, then a second opinion may be needed. This way, you can openly discuss with the dentist and evaluate alternative options for your child’s oral health.
Confidence in the Final Decision
Dental procedures involving young children must be carefully considered. When obtaining a dental second opinion, you can make an informed decision that you fully trust. This boosts your confidence and helps reassure you that your child is receiving the best possible care from the dental health provider.
Ask Dr Toothfairy
Choosing a dental care provider is a serious decision that affects your child’s oral health for years to come. In situations where you are unsure, second opinions ensure that the diagnosis is correct and the treatment options are effective. A second opinion will provide a fresh perspective and ultimately provide you with confidence in your final decision. If you have questions or doubts about a specific treatment decision or problem that pertains to your child’s dental health, Dr Toothfairy will be happy to review your options and provide you with a free second opinion. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Shopify has become a popular platform for entrepreneurs looking to start their own print-on-demand (POD) businesses. This innovative business model allows individuals to create and sell custom products without the need for inventory or upfront investment. In this article, we will explore effective strategies and tips on how to make money with Shopify print-on-demand.
Choosing the right products is crucial for a successful Shopify print-on-demand venture. Focus on selecting items with high demand and profit potential. Conduct market research, identify trends, and cater to your target audience’s preferences. Consider offering a variety of products, including apparel, accessories, home decor, and more, to attract a wider customer base.
Creating captivating designs is a key factor in drawing customers to your Shopify store. Invest in talented designers or leverage design tools to produce unique and eye-catching graphics. Ensure that your designs resonate with your target audience and align with current trends. Providing customizable options for customers can also enhance the appeal of your products.
Seamless Store Setup:
Setting up an appealing and user-friendly Shopify store is essential for driving sales. Select a visually appealing theme that complements your brand image. Optimize product descriptions, categories, and tags for search engine visibility. Streamline navigation and ensure smooth checkout processes. Enhance customer trust by showcasing positive reviews and providing clear contact information.
Effective Marketing Strategies:
Implementing robust marketing strategies is vital to generate traffic and sales. Leverage social media platforms to showcase your products, engage with potential customers, and build a loyal following. Utilize targeted advertising campaigns through channels like Facebook Ads or Google AdWords. Collaborate with influencers or bloggers in your niche to expand your reach. Employ content marketing techniques such as blogs, videos, or email newsletters to educate and entice your audience.
Enhancing your Shopify store’s search engine optimization (SEO) is crucial for organic traffic and visibility. Conduct keyword research to identify relevant terms and incorporate them into product titles, descriptions, and meta tags. Optimize image alt-text and ensure fast website loading speed. Consistently create valuable content that incorporates relevant keywords to improve search engine rankings.
Building strong customer relationships is essential for long-term success in print-on-demand. Provide exceptional customer service and respond promptly to inquiries or concerns. Implement a loyalty program to reward repeat customers and incentivize referrals. Engage with customers through personalized emails, social media interactions, and exclusive offers. Creating a positive customer experience can lead to repeat purchases and positive word-of-mouth.
Collaboration and Partnerships:
Explore partnerships with influencers or complementary brands to expand your reach and tap into new markets. Collaborative giveaways, guest blog posts, or joint marketing campaigns can drive traffic and increase brand awareness. Leveraging the networks of established individuals or companies can bring credibility and accelerate business growth.
Stay up-to-date with industry trends and customer preferences. Analyze data and feedback to optimize your print-on-demand offerings.

A Thematic Content Analysis of the Impact of Covid-19 Related Anxiety on the Observed Frequency and Severity of Tics in Children
Stanger, Sarah B.
Tics , Anxiety , Pandemic , COVID
Tics can be a disruptive and uncontrollable physical occurrence in individuals that can be exacerbated by a variety of factors. Prior research suggests that tics are often associated with anxiety, potentially causing tension in the muscle groups in which the ticking motion or impulse occurs, as well as sometimes being worsened by environmental factors such as anxiety brought on by the pandemic (Lewin et al., 2011; Mataix-Cols et al., 2020; Caurín et al., 2014). The qualitative content analysis that was performed in the present study utilized a thematic analysis to identify themes in two selected Facebook groups regarding parental perception of the impact of COVID-19 related anxiety on the observed frequency and severity of tics in children. The study obtained one-hundred fifty-five (155) posts matching the inclusion criteria, which stipulated that posts must make mention of anxiety, COVID-19, lockdown, or the pandemic related to the child’s tic frequency or severity, while posts involving children older than eighteen years of age were not considered, as most tic disorders begin between the age of six and eighteen. It was hypothesized that parents will report that their children experienced an increase in frequency and severity of tics during the pandemic from March 1st, 2020, to March 31st, 2021, and that anxiety brought on by factors related to the pandemic contributed to the increase and severity of these tics. The themes identified in this study indicated that parents had observed an increase in frequency and severity of tics in their children over the beginning of the pandemic, and some even saw their children develop tics or tic-like symptoms despite having no prior incidences of tics. Implications include the importance of establishing better education for parents on how their children’s tics may be impacted by factors relating to anxiety, as well as preparing medical professionals for a possible influx of children presenting tics or tic-like symptoms in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Miscellaneous items from the Nifong deposition, beyond the detailed summary.
This case involved several figures—Nifong, Mark Gottlieb, Linwood Wilson—who appear to be unethical to the core. Each used his deposition to deflect blame onto others.
So, for instance, while Gottlieb claimed in his deposition that he was not really involved in the case, Nifong went out of his way to implicate Gottlieb in all decisions—down, even, to minor details such as saying that Gottlieb up all meetings with Meehan.
Nifong also told a revealing vignette relayed to him by Gottlieb. In searching the captains’ house on March 16, before any of them had even given statements, Gottlieb recalled, they saw one of Mangum’s unpainted fingernails (which contained the DNA of an unindicted player). Said Gottlieb, “When we recovered it, it was like it was there as a trophy”—giving a sense of the . . . open . . . mind with which Gottlieb pursued the investigation, but also suggesting that Nifong was simply trusting the judgment of the police.
The Nifong deposition also made public for what I believe is the first time the Raleigh mental hospital that treated Crystal Mangum in 2005. Nifong stated that Mangum spent time in Holly Hill Hospital. The institution’s website states that it treats:
- Anxiety and Stress
- Bipolar Disorder
- Other Emotional and Mood Disorders
- Behavioral Problems
- Alcohol Abuse and Dependency
- Illicit and Prescription Drug Abuse and Dependency | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Felix was rejected as a child by his mother and those scars never fully heal.In a book with great emotional depth, Honore de Balzac explores Felix' two major adult relationships with women through the form of a single letter. With the beautiful, but married, Madame Mortsauf, maternal love grows into a passion - but never crosses into physical infidelity. As the years pass by, Felix falls for sensuous Englishwoman Lady Arabelle.Torn between "the wife of the spirit" and "the mistress of the flesh", he becomes the laughing stock of the French Court. How will he untie his emotional knot without causing emotional damage to the two women?The insights and descriptions are exquisite - and there is an unexpected twist at the end.'The Lily of the Valley' is perfect reading for fans of other books featuring a love triangle, including Margaret Mitchell's 'Gone With the Wind' and Emily Brontë's 'Wuthering Heights'.Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist and playwright, most famous for a sequence of novels, collectively called 'The Human Comedy'. His signature style was a warts-and-all representation of post-Napoleonic French life, rich in detail and featuring complex, unfiltered characters.The style means Balzac is regarded as one of the pioneers of European literary realism. He is named as an influence on writers including Emile Zola, Henry James, Charles Dickens, and Gustave Flaubert.The first novel he published under his own name was 'Les Chouans' in 1829. In 1834 he hit upon the idea of grouping his novels together to record all of society. The result, over a period of years, was 'The Human Comedy', which comprised three categories: 'Analytic Studies'; 'Philosophical Studies'; and 'Studies of Manners'. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In 1872, Addison Caldwell trekked 30 miles from Craig County to Blacksburg, Virginia, inspired by the opportunity for an education. Today, nearly 150 years later, students looking to find the answers to big questions, to solve complex problems, and to serve the world still seek those opportunities at Virginia Tech.
As the university community emerges from an unprecedented year, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends will find numerous opportunities for celebration connected to Virginia Tech’s 150th year, or sesquicentennial, a milestone moment for Hokies everywhere.
“Virginia Tech’s sesquicentennial will foster a renewed engagement with the university at a historic moment, bringing our community together after a long season of being apart,” said Virginia Tech President Tim Sands. “It is an opportunity to reflect on where we began, celebrate how far we’ve come, and look to our future as we continue advancing Beyond Boundaries.”
From July 2021 through December 2022, Virginia Tech will observe the 150th anniversary of its founding. The first official sesquicentennial event, which is slated for October in tandem with Homecoming 2021, will be followed by ongoing celebrations that will extend across the commonwealth, nation, and even internationally. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Do you want to offset your CO2 emissions?
Through the purchase of VER-type credits registered on the eCO2care registry you can contribute to climate mitigation by neutralizing the CO2eq emissions of your product, service, event and your entire organization by supporting projects implemented on the ground that have completed the verification pathway of the generated credits.
How to purchase credits on eCO2care:
- Create a buyer-type account on eCO2care by filling out our registration form; registering is completely free.
- Log in to your restricted area and view the projects registered on eCO2care, so you can choose the one most suitable for you from which to buy VER credits.

The registry, upon request by the project proponent and confirmation by the buyer, will permanently remove the amount of credits you have purchased from the proponent's account by tracking all transactions in favor of the buyer. If, on the other hand, you do not know your emissions and need support in calculating the climate footprint (Carbon Footprint) of your product (ISO 14067) or organization (ISO 14064 Part I), please contact us.
- When you purchase VERs, you will obtain a "Permanent Withdrawal Certificate" that will allow you to use the related "eCO2care - Carbon Account Registry for Climate Neutrality" Mark. Use of the eCO2care Mark requires the purchaser to pay a fee that is proportional to the number of VERs cancelled in accordance with our fee schedule.
Do you want to sell your VER credits?
If you want to operate in the credit trading market on the eCO2care registry, you must create an Account. If you do not have the Account, please proceed as follows.
- Fill out the Registration form online
- Make the Payment related to Account creation according to the fee schedule
- Upload the payment receipt.
- The Administrator creates the account and sends the details to access the reserved area.
Once you have created your Account, you can register a project. To register a project, you must have completed the third-party certification process. If you already have a carbon credit certificate, proceed as follows.
- Log in to your reserved area.
- Fill out the online Registration Form providing details of the project(s) and the required documents (PDD, Project Design Document; VER Validation Report, Validation Conformity Statement) that should be formally confirmed by the verifier
- Make the Payment relating to the Project Registration according to the fee schedule
- Upload payment receipt.
- After a formal check, the Administrator will add the project(s) and related credits to the Registry.

Maria Perez developed an Energy Report and energy slide deck to help Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) engage internal and external stakeholders.
MSK is the world’s largest and oldest cancer center, and has made energy efficiency one of its priorities. EDF Climate Corps fellow, Maria Perez, contributed to MSK efforts with the development of an Energy Report and presentation which outlined MSK’s energy management story. MSK was also interested in laying the foundation to account for Scope 3 emissions.
Perez collected and organized relevant information on 35 energy projects that MSK has completed since 2007 to develop the Energy Report. The report includes details on the performance of past MSK energy projects, information on MSK’s energy portfolio, and associated cost avoidances. The report also featured the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) project at Main Campus and how the project will help MSK in achieving its energy efficiency goals. Turning her attention to Scope 3 emissions, Perez followed the Practice Greenhealth Greenhouse Gas Toolkit to complete a screening calculation in the areas of business travel, employee commute, meat procurement and waste disposal. Based on this information, Perez identified data gaps and the factors that have a significant impact on calculating Scope 3 emissions.
The MSK Energy Report and presentation tools will help educate internal and external stakeholders about MSK’s extensive energy management and efficiency projects. The Scope 3 screening calculation identified that the largest contributors included employee commuting and waste generation. Utilizing data collection allows MSK to target future efforts to reduce emissions and commitment to environmental sustainability. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Matt Irish developed an energy management strategy to improve data collection and utility benchmarking processes for Nuestra Comunidad Development Corporation.
Nuestra Comunidad Development Corporation (Nuestra CDC), a nonprofit managing multifamily affordable housing developments and commercial space buildings, enlisted EDF Climate Corps fellow Matt Irish to enhance its utility benchmarking and energy management strategy under a new initiative of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Nuestra CDC had adopted these practices, but its lean size limited its energy management capacity. Irish was tasked with improving data collection and utility benchmarking required for multifamily affordable and public housing.
After meeting with contacts from Nuestra CDC’s property management company and vendors to take stock of current energy management practices, Irish reviewed energy and water data across the company’s building portfolio. Gaps in data were identified and corrected, ranging from missing electricity meters to entire un-tracked developments. The greatest challenge was adding real-time monitoring capabilities to Nuestra CDC’s four solar PV installations since each had their own unique set of data-logging technologies, financial arrangements and rights to environmental claims. Rather than focusing on one-off projects, Irish saw more lasting value in developing an energy management framework, ensuring that all responsibilities could be met in-house without requiring substantial new resources. The strategy includes resources on creative financing mechanisms, monitoring and verification of energy investments and certification of efficient buildings.
Irish also presented recommendations for improving collaboration around utility benchmarking practices more broadly across the sector. He reported a major bug in one utility’s aggregate data use portal that had likely led to the widespread distribution of inaccurate use records, and found that HUD’s benchmarking rule was missing critical guidance on reporting responsibilities for affordable housing that is funded indirectly via public housing agencies.
The energy management strategy has an estimated lifetime savings of $90,000 from restoring functionality to a large solar installation’s revenue meter and the subsequent funding of a weather station that will enable virtual generation modeling for any solar PV installation. By creating a streamlined process to gather tenant-paid energy usage data, Irish helped Nuestra CDC track whole-building energy data for the first time, allowing for:
- a reduction costs by insourcing municipal benchmarking reporting
- a new method of financing future energy conservation measures on behalf of tenants
- an official commitment to reduce overall energy use intensity by 20% under the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Challenge
Nuestra CDC’s team is working to implement year-one recommendations as it looks to build its energy management strategy into a model for other community development corporations. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Following in her older sister's footsteps as a swimmer, Mia was starting to feel the same pressure from mom Shenique that ultimately drove her sister out of the sport. Mia blamed herself for the stress she was feeling and was overly self-critical when she didn’t perform to her own high expectations. It took a toll until Mia and her mom found a better way forward with The Elite Mental Game.
Nailing it in practice, doing 300 makes, but holding back and playing like a different athlete on the game day let sports dad Nathan know that Presley needed help to train her mental game. To help her achieve her dream of succeeding at an elite level, Presley didn’t hesitate to step up into the The Elite Mental Game and strengthen her greatest competitive advantage.
Volleyball player Amelia had big goals, but despite consistently excelling in practice, the pressure of competition often resulted in mistakes that got her sidelined. Recognising this as a pattern of behavior, Amelia’s coach suggested the missing piece to level up her performance was her mental game. Except he didn’t have the tools to help her. But The Elite Competitor did.
Reacting with anger when she made a mistake was how basketball player Sienna let her teammates know how much she cared. And her frustration on the court eventually turned into lashing out at her family in pre- and post-game irritation. Sports mom Holli knew her daughter desperately needed help with the mental side of being an elite competitor but didn’t know where to turn until she found The Elite Competitor. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Parliament on Wednesday extended its congratulations to Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat, the members of the Council, the brave men of the armed forces and security, and the free people of Yemen on the occasion of the 57th anniversary of Independence Day, celebrated on November 30th.
In today’s session, chaired by Speaker Yahya al-Ra’i, the Parliament highlighted the significance of this historic day, noting that it represents a pivotal moment in Yemen’s struggle for independence. The day marks the culmination of the October 14 Revolution and the triumph of the Yemeni people’s resistance to foreign occupation and colonialism, ushering in a new era of freedom, ambition, and national unity.
The Parliament underscored that the withdrawal of British forces from Yemen was a clear sign that external powers could not continue their hegemonic control. It reaffirmed the resilience of Yemen’s armed forces, which continue to safeguard the country’s sovereignty by confronting foreign aggression and imperialist designs, particularly from the U.S. and its allies.
The session also included discussions on various government reports, including updates on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ implementation of the Council’s recommendations and the Ministry of Civil Service and Administrative Development’s progress in the same area. Additionally, the Council addressed ongoing development projects in rural water systems and the establishment of the Hodeida Governorate Support and Development Fund.
In response to a query by Council member Dr. Ali al-Zanam, the Ministry of Finance was called upon to provide answers regarding its failure to continue supporting self-initiative projects and its plans for future coordination and implementation. The Ministry of Finance will be required to attend a future session to address the matter. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It is true that the king had not the strong feelings of the rest of the people of High Rock well in mind; but he was affected by a sudden clarity following his meeting with the envoy. King Joile had lived in so respectable a manner as to elicit the ire of the Redguards, even though he had done every conceivable thing within his power to grant them comfort and courtesy within his presence.
The Ra Gada were no more than a comparatively new and invasive people, who began their residence upon the shores of Tamriel only after rendering their homeland irreparably damaged. These Ra Gada interlopers were received into Hammerfell and began to make short work of their local Orsimer neighbors, presuming so far as to call themselves the Forebears, while in fact the lands had occupancy precursors in the Orsimer, Dwemer, Ayleids, and even the Goblins!
It should be known by now that the Redguards are thusly not the legal inheritors of Hammerfell, nor are they owed any claim upon the territories of Bangkorai. In the society of civilized Evermore, the untoward rage which issued forth from Orsinium was therefore not the only immediate threat, but also too was the concealed blade of the Redguards.
For what people carry upon them at all times blades but those who intend to bear some immediacy in using them against others?
King Joile's reaction toward the Redguard forces within Bangkorai during the conflict proceeded not merely from malice, but from goodness of heart and a desire to bring solid safety and comfort to his peoples across all of High Rock.
The Maidens of the Spirit Sword, who were maidens only in name, were rendered wroth by naught but this protective instinct! It would have quieted their mannish ambitions if they could have seen his noble bearing, the acknowledged eminence of his countenance when not upon the field of battle. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Because of its flexibility, strength, heat resistance, chemical resistance, and high frictional qualities, asbestos is employed in a variety of industries. The majority of asbestos is utilized in construction items, insulation, friction materials, and textiles. Workers in the industrial sector, such as mechanics, chemical workers, and machine operators, are at risk of asbestos exposure since their jobs may require them to weld, mold, grind, or cut asbestos-containing items.
Mesothelioma cancer, which develops in the protective lining of the lungs or abdomen over a long period after asbestos exposure, is one of the most devastating health disorders that may result from asbestos exposure. Experts believe that there is no safe threshold for asbestos exposure but that asbestos-related illnesses are most often caused by prolonged and severe exposure to asbestos.
How Can Workers Protect Themselves?
Exposure to asbestos is hazardous for industrial employees. When left alone, the fibrous mineral is nearly completely harmless, but the material becomes toxic when disturbed. While it may seem that asbestos exposure is unavoidable on the job, a number of actions may be taken to prevent or reduce the risk of asbestos exposure.
1. Be familiar with locations and materials with asbestos exposure.
A greater understanding of where asbestos may be found and which things are most likely to contain it is one of the most efficient techniques to minimize asbestos exposure. If you can detect or suspect the existence of asbestos, you’ll be more likely to take the necessary precautions to protect yourself.
To get more information about the effects of asbestos on its victims, you need to read about the asbestos mesothelioma fact act and know the salient features of the law for the protection of its victims.
2. Ensure proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and proper work practices.
Employers who deal with asbestos-containing materials must take precautions to avoid or decrease asbestos exposure, including wearing personal protective equipment. A respiratory protection apparatus to prevent breathing asbestos fibers is required when asbestos is present or suspected. To prevent asbestos fibers from being carried away from the job site on clothes, use protective overalls and footwear suited for the job.
Questions to consider would include housekeeping methods, wet cleaning and vacuuming asbestos-containing waste and debris, as well as the proper disposal of asbestos-containing trash and debris. The importance of following protective work practices and procedures cannot be overstated or underestimated.
If in case you suffered injuries from asbestos and you need to claim damages from your employer or third party, you need the help of an asbestos litigation attorney Baton Rouge Louisiana to assist you throughout the whole legal process.
3. Correctly dispose of asbestos-containing materials.
Employees and their families may be exposed to asbestos fibers by unknowingly tracking or carrying them home on their shoes, clothes, hair, or equipment. To avoid exposure, dispose of contaminated garments in a supervised setting. Workers may also change clothing before going home.
To guarantee total safety, only qualified specialists should remove asbestos. Employees must take precautions when dealing with asbestos, particularly when removing or disposing of asbestos-containing items.
If a company fails to dispose of asbestos in a proper manner and causes harm or injury to a person, that person should consult a mesothelioma lawyer Baton Rouge Louisiana to protect their rights and properly claim damages to the company.
4. Attend proper asbestos information and training programs.
Employers are responsible for developing and delivering an asbestos training and education program to their workers. This program should include information on the toxicity of asbestos and its health consequences, engineering controls and work practices, protective measures such as acceptable work practices, emergency and clean-up procedures, and personal protective equipment, as well as a medical monitoring program.
5. Undergo medical screening and check-ups.
Because asbestos-related illnesses have no treatment, early identification is critical to survival. If you deal with or work near asbestos, you should obtain yearly testing. Most asbestos-related disorders develop slowly. Mesothelioma develops 20-50 years after first asbestos exposure.
Your primary care provider should be informed about your exposure. Many asbestos diseases have symptoms similar to the flu or pneumonia. If you have any symptoms and have worked with asbestos, see your doctor immediately. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Pia Wurtzbach back in Dubai home, mum on Heart Evangelista’s remarks
Amid Heart Evangelista publicly addressing their alleged feud, Pia Wurtzbach has seemingly opted not to comment on the matter and just expressed her elation over returning to Dubai with her husband Jeremy Jauncey.
“Nothing feels better then being back in Dubai with you, Jeremy,” the beauty queen wrote on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Oct. 23, showing Jauncey driving while talking on the phone.
“So happy to be back home,” she added in a separate post.
Aside from this, Wurtzbach’s recent social media activities only include her tie-ups with brands and none about her response to Evangelista’s earlier remarks on them being pitted against each other.
Article continues after this advertisement“It’s once and for all. Woman to woman, I never had a problem with Pia,” Evangelista said in a recent press conference, noting that it was the people that Wurtzbach decided to “surround herself with for specific reasons” which “makes this whole thing problematic.”
The actress-fashion personality was apparently referring to her estranged previous glam team who allegedly did her wrong and is now working with Wurtzbach.
“If I have a message for Pia, congratulations. You have what you needed. I wish you nothing but the best. And good luck. Sana hindi mangyari sa’yo ‘yung nangyari sa’kin,” Evangelista added. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been a sovereign and independent state since the Treaty of London of 19 April 1839. Luxembourg is a parliamentary democracy in the form of a constitutional monarchy. The crown of the Grand Duchy is hereditary in the family of Nassau-Weilbourg. Luxembourg also has a special feature: it is the only Grand Duchy in the world.
In 1919, the revision of the Constitution and the introduction of universal suffrage marked a turning point in the political life of the Grand Duchy. Before this date, the right to vote was subject to the tax, that is to say a certain amount of tax paid, and restricted to the male population aged at least 25 years. From the 1919 revision, every citizen who had reached the age of 21 was granted the right to vote. In 1972, the voting age was lowered to 18.
Luxembourg is a democratic state. Under the Constitution, the Nation is the source of sovereign power and it is before the representatives of the sovereign Nation that the Grand Duke , on his accession to the throne, takes the constitutional oath. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The burden of maintaining healthy and vibrant skin only gets harder as we age. We all struggle with wrinkles and fine lines at some point in our life. But spending money on anti-aging creams to combat these issues can be fruitless and costly. So, you might be asking—what’s the next move? Take it from our experts at Exceptional Dental—dermal fillers might be the right choice for you. Check out the Juvederm New Orleans loves.
At Exceptional Dental, we know the key to a great smile is more than just great teeth—it’s the frame you set them in too. We want you to have the best possible smile, so to help you, we now offer JUVÉDERM®. Much like BOTOX ®, Juvederm is an injectable gel filler designed to smooth away skin wrinkles in your face. Not only that, JUVÉDERM® is also one of the most convenient, quick, and safe cosmetic procedures on the market. That’s why some call it the “lunchtime facelift.” Are you wondering if Juvederm is right for you? Let’s lay down some facts.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers are injections of hyaluronic acid into your lips, cheeks, and other areas around your face. The process is only a few minutes and can be completed over a lunch break. The results are instant and look as natural as your real skin.
Now it’s easy to be thrown off by the term “hyaluronic acid,” but don’t be. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring compound in your body. Through the years, your natural levels of this compound drop. This leads to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. That’s where Juvederm comes in. If you’re interested in Juvederm in New Orleans, our experts at Exceptional Dental are ready to help you out!
Who Benefits From JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM® is recommended for men and women over the age of 21. Most people won’t be able to tell that you had an injection at all. People will only notice that you look younger and more radiant. Doctors may also recommend JUVÉDERM® or other dermal fillers for patients with sunken eyes, post-surgical scars, acne, and other dermatological conditions. Patients generally experience improved confidence and self-esteem.
The Premier JUVÉDERM® Provider In New Orleans

Besides having a love for paleobiology, I consider myself to be an avid traveler, videographer/photographer, and writer. I live for summers spent between mountains and desert in search of fossils, and to experience the beauty of the American West.
I am a current graduate student studying biological sciences and evolution, ecology, and systematics at The George Washington University. I also have a passion for teaching and am concurrently pursuing a graduate degree in secondary biology education from Saint Joseph's University.
I have been part of this dig team for over half a decade and am now currently serving as Assistant Crew Chief. My field experiences have led me to Montana, Wyoming, New Jersey, and Southern Africa. I have also been fortunate to work and intern as a fossil preparator at both the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University (ANSP) and the New Jersey State Museum, and served as an informal educator at ANSP. I currently serve as a fossil preparator in the public and behind-the-scenes fossil preparation labs at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Explore’s main means of measuring its reach in Africa is by tracking the number of enrollments received by each student per country. In 2022, there were 2522 total Explore modules studied across the continent with several students graduating in various countries.
From the east to the west of Kenya, from refugee camps in the country’s north eastern regions to university campuses, Kenya Country Coordinator, Misheck Mbevi, has led his small team into various parts of the country. As a result, 46% of Explore’s 2023 module enrollments have come from Kenya alone.
A Unique Opportunity for Kenya
Explore in Kenya has had the unique opportunity to reach and serve refugees from Somalia and South Sudan in refugee camps that are populated with Muslim residents. One refugee camp in Garissa, a Muslim town in the North Eastern Province that has become home to many Somalian refugees, is one of the places where Explore was taken and a number of people contacted as potential facilitators. Garissa is often characterized as anti-Christian and although some Muslims convert to Christianity, they remain Muslim culturally and practice their Christian faith secretly. Our Kenyan team sees the need for the gospel across the country, especially in refugee camps with people who have come from countries where the gospel is scarce. Their aim is for people to know that Jesus offers forgiveness of sins through faith in Him alone.
In an effort to not only grow Explore groups, but also the Explore team, Mbevi regularly conducts facilitation trainings for men and women who are interested in leading groups. Although there is still a great need for more facilitators to come alongside students, we have had fruitful and encouraging training sessions across the country.
Some of the future endeavors for Explore in Kenya include renting out an office space in Nairobi with the aim of centralizing Explore activities in the country and maintaining its growth in an organized and sustainable manner. The team is also being intentional about reaching university students with an Explore promotion day and facilitation training planned for the end of September 2023.
The growth in Kenya has been accompanied by an enormous desire by students to grow in their knowledge of God and this is seen in their commitment to the course. God is at work in the hearts and lives of the people of Kenya- He is revealing Himself to them through His Word and is enabling them to grow in their love for Him and others. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Why Lil Wayne’s Private Plane Made Two Emergency Landings
TMZ reports rapper Lil Wayne's plane was forced to make two emergency landings after he suffered two seizures.
Wayne was flying from Milwaukee to California when his plane was forced to land in Omaha, Nebraska. The seizure caused him to black out, but he soon gained consciousness. Once the plane landed, he refused medical attention from the paramedics.
After regrouping, he got back on the plane, which flew for a few minutes before he suffered his second seizure. The plane was forced to land again. This time, paramedics are currently treating him.
Back in 2012, Lil Wayne suffered a similar episode when his plane was forced to make emergency landings on back-to-back days due to seizures. At the time, he revealed he was epileptic and has been dealing with seizures from a young age. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Let’s talk about the best DJ gear for beginners- those that will get you through your first few years as a DJ. We have the best controller, speakers, and headphones. We went through a lot of gear and compiled the best and most budget-friendly stuff that we tested and used and abused in a gig. They're all the newest technology and everything you may ever want and need. From DJing in your bedroom to DJing an event or festival, these things will get you covered.
Controller (DDJ RB)
One of the best controllers is DDJ RB. The layout is simple and it does its job from scratching to mixing. It comes with a Rekordbox DJ so all you have to do is install the software, plug in the controller, and you are good to go. If you're into Serato, the DDJ SB3 is almost the same as the DDJ RB in terms of features, functionality, layout, and even price. There are very minute differences between the two controllers. These include the ability to control the decks and the pad scratch feature. But as a beginner, there's no need to concern yourself with the bells and whistles of these items because they're all the same and all do the same which is to play music and DJ right.
When you start DJing, all you need is something basic. These two controllers deliver that package exceptionally well. What makes this a better controller compared to the other expensive controllers are two simple things. One - because it's small and light (you can throw this control in a backpack and you’re good to go.) Two - because it's USB powered. You don't have to bring a power cable and power adapter to make this thing work. All you need is a computer and a USB cable. The layout of this controller is simple, basic, and universal. So if ever you upgrade, it will feel like the right step up. You would also enjoy the size and feel of the jog wheel and the placement of all the knobs and buttons. The differences between the DDJ RX controller and the DDJ RB in terms of functionality are small. They both do the same thing.
At the end of the day, it's not what you use but how you use it. The DDJ RB is a budget-friendly plug and play controller and is perfect for the beginner DJ and even the veteran DJ. You need something that works well and performs professionally.
Speakers (DM - 40)
Don't let the size fool you. Though the speakers are small and portable, they sound clear and bassy and can get pretty loud if you want them to. They are minimal, lightweight, and perfect for small house parties and bedroom DJing. They also come with a 3.5-millimeter jack to RCA cable, so all you have to do to get the sound going in your studio is to connect them. These speakers also come in pairs so there is no need to buy them individually. Since they're the latest in technology, there is also a Bluetooth variant of the speakers that utilize Bluetooth technology. You can technically attach your phone controller and even knock this thing and get the sound going. These pair of speakers are pretty flexible, and for their price, nothing can beat it. The DM - 40 is a simple, versatile, and budget-friendly pair of speakers that do the job. They also sound great and accurate.
Headphones (HDJ - X5)
Next, we have the headphone of choice, the HDJ - X5. Like the speaker counterpart, these headphones sound great if not, better to do the isolation of sound you get when you put these things on. You can hear the drums and the highest of a song and hearing those frequencies helps adjust your EQ when mixing. The best thing about the X5 is the bang for the buck that you get when you compare this model to the X10, its older brother. From afar, these headphones look almost the same. They both sound pretty much the same too, that they make it hard to tell the difference between the two models. The only huge difference is the price tag. The X10 is $250 more expensive than the X5.
The HDJ - X5 is a great pair of Pioneer DJ headphones. They sound great and look great. Even if you're a beginner or a Veteran DJ, you won't be disappointed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the intricate realm of pyrolysis technology, the advent of skid-mounted pyrolysis plants heralds a paradigm shift in efficiency and adaptability.

Repose (リポーズ, Ripōzu?) is a spell in the Final Fantasy series, appearing only in the online installments of the series. It always serves as the parallel to the recurring Sleep spell for the White Mage job.
Despite sharing a similar name in English, the Repose enemy ability from Final Fantasy VI is not the same as the recurring healer ability, being known as Peace (やすらぎ, Yasuragi?) in the original Japanese.
Repose is a White Magic spell exclusive to White Mages. It inflicts a light-based Sleep effect on an enemy. Due to its light element, it is also capable of landing against Undead creatures, like Lullaby, something a Black Magic Sleep spell has almost no chance of doing. Repose was added in the November 2007 version update.
There are two types of sleep. The difference lies in whether or not monsters resist the sleep ability.
- Dark-based sleep is inflicted mainly by Sleep, Sleep II, Sleepga, Sleepga II, Nightmare, and Soporific.
- Light-based sleep is inflicted mainly by Repose, Sheep Song, Yawn, and Lullaby songs.
Repose appeared as an ability in the original version. At the initial release, Repose was a Conjurer spell available for use at Rank 8.
The spell cost 3 action points to set and 8 MP to use. When used, the spell would inflict the bind status to all enemies within an area of effect. After the release of patch 1.20, Repose remained a Conjurer spell available for use at level 50. However, the spell no longer inflicted the bind status and instead inflicted the sleep status to a single target. Repose could only be used by Conjurers and White Mages.
Repose is a Healer Role Action available at level 8. The ability inflicts sleep to a single target for a period of 30 seconds. The ability has a cast time 2.5 seconds and has a cooldown time of 2.5 seconds. The spell can only be used by Healers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Setting a realistic financial goal is the first-step towards successful investing for any investor. While looking for an investment option which can consistently reward you is important, it isequally important to understand the risk associated with it to aim for an optimal outcome in the long-term.Mutual fund option can be explored for meeting financial goals ranging from short-term to long-term, while choosing to invest from wide-range of products across the asset class. Here is one mutual fund product category that investors can look for investing in meeting long-term wealth creation goals. Flexi-cap funds are open-ended equity funds investing at least 65% of total assets are invested in equity assets of companiesacross the different market capitalizations viz., large-cap, mid-cap or small-cap fund. UTI Flexi Cap Fund is one of the oldest fund in the category (launched in 1992) and having long-term track record of consistent performance. The Fundhas a corpus of over Rs. 20,000 croresand trusted by over14 lakh investors (as onJuly31, 2021). This offering from UTI Mutual Fund is suitable for any long-term investor looking for fund that endeavor to invest in quality businesses having potential for creating economic value for investors.
UTI Flexi Cap Fund’s investment philosophy which is built around the three pillars of Quality, Growth & Valuation. The portfolio strategy would be to focus on businesses that have an ability to show strong growth for a long period of time and are run by seasoned managements.
“Quality” signifies the ability of a business to sustain high Return onCapital Employed (RoCE) or Return on Equity (RoE) over a long period of time. Truly high quality businesses are those that are able to generate high RoCEs and also RoEs even during difficult times for their industry or sector and therefore operate above their cost of capital at all times. More often than not, a business with high RoCE/ RoE shall be able to generate strong cash-flows and these strong cash flows become the source of economic value creation.
“Growth” on the other hand signifies long term secular growth for the business. The fund emphasizes on businesses that have steady and predictable growth trajectory rather than cyclical and unpredictable growth. Cyclical growth or de-growth can be very sharp and unpredictable and can surprise investors in either direction,as against secular growth where there is relatively more certainty in understanding the long term drivers and hence future outcomes.While high quality businesses create economic value, a high growth business enables compounding of this economic value. It is for this reason that the fund’s favorite hunting ground for stock selection is the intersection of quality and growth.
The last pillar of the fund’s investment philosophy is “Valuations”. Valuations are very important as an entry point into a great business and therefore one should very carefully study this before entering a stock. Although a Price to Earnings (P/E) multiple is a good starting point for understanding the valuations of a business but it is also a widely misunderstood and abused valuation technique. More often than not a high RoCE and high growth business would deserve a high P/E and would still be an attractive investment for long term investors who invest on the basis of business fundamentals rather than on the basis of what would outperform in the next few months or quarters. Therefore, before reaching to a judgement by looking at P/Es optically one has to carefully study the characteristics of each business and then establish the fair valuation band for each of them.
The Fund investsacross the market capitalization spectrum following the “Growth” style of investment.The scheme’s top ten holding consists ofBajaj Finance Ltd., HDFC Bank Ltd.,L&T Infotech Ltd.,Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd.,HDFC Ltd., Infosys Ltd., Astral Ltd., Mindtree Ltd., Info-edge (India) Ltd. and Avenue SupermartsLtd., which accounts for around 40% of the portfolio’s corpus as of July 31, 2021.
UTI Flexi Cap Fundis suitable for those equity investors looking to build their “core” equity portfolio andseeking long term capital growth through investment in quality businesses that generate economic value.Investors with moderate risk-profile and looking to invest for at least 5 to 7 years to meet a long-term financial goal, may consider investing in this fund. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

He currently works at ITV where – through the Legal Social Mobility Partnership scheme – he helps law firms and in-house teams collaborate to provide ways for over 200 students from state schools to experience working in Law.
In a recent article in the Financial Times, Barry explains he wanted to create the work experience and support programme he craved as a 17-year-old growing up on a council estate, to avoid the problem repeating itself for each new generation.
LSMP’s two-week programme immerses participants in commercial organisations, backed up with training in legal and softer skills.
Another First 100 Years champion, Funke Abimbola, has recently spoken on Radio 4’s Women’s Hour on how women can own their ambition, and the importance of recognising, rather than down-playing, their talent. There are of course negative connotations of women being assertive in the workplace, and although Funke says she has “softened” her approach in the workplace, she makes no apologies for being clear in her ask.
The First 100 Years Champions are challenging inequality throughout the legal sector, ensuring a bright future for all those who wish to enter into the profession. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Summer is the season in which everyone gets frustrated with the weather outside due to the heat caused by the sun. When traveling in a car everyone uses an air conditioner and mainly in summer, this is the only option to get over the summer heat inside the car. Think if AC is not working properly at that time. How frustrating to travel in that car. So, one should maintain ACs and keep them working during summer to enjoy the ride. Below are some tips to decrease the heat inside the car.
Firstly, irrespective of the car AC inside, park the car in shade as direct sunlight can heat up the engine and increases the temperature inside the car. If you don't find a place of shade for your car then try to open the windows of the car a little bit.
Even if you park your car in partial shade it gets heated as the temperature peak in the summer. So, after entering the car before turning on your AC wait a minute by opening your car doors open. If you are in a crowd try to open windows even.
When you enter your car don't turn on the AC first turn on the fan to get the heat inside your car out by opening the back side windows as the opening of the front windows cause air from the fan to go out. Now go with the tips of maintaining AC as you have to go on a ride in the car.
Turn on your AC every day and use it for at least 10 minutes weekly two times. Because the AC mechanism inside should be used to work properly.
Every machine will work only if they are maintained regularly. The same happens with the AC inside the car. It should be maintained and get service at least once per three months. To get professional ac repair service book now <u>https://fixocar.com/</u>
For ACs air is drawn from the outside and cooled with the mechanism and blows out through the air filter. Thus the dust gets attached to the filter and if the filter is moist bacteria are created. If the bacteria is set for a long time then the air coming from the filter is harmful to health.
When you get your car serviced ask your mechanic to check the refrigerant level as it is the one that maintains the ACs for getting the cool air. • Keep your car clean Even if all your precautions are done correctly the AC not works. This is because the car should be clean inside as this dust is entered the air filter and makes the AC not work.
Sometimes you can hear some sounds coming from the side of the compressor. This is because of lubricant issues, loosening bolts, issues with the pressure-equalizing inside, and many more. So, if you hear any sides get checked with your car mechanic.
The controls of the AC should be handled gently and if it gets damaged there will be a problem with AC working so, check each time.
Check the leakages of gas pipelines of AC. If the gas gets leaked there will not be cooling air that comes from AC which makes it not work. So get checked with the leakages also if your problem with working of your AC.
The AC is located above the engine if the engine gets heated every time this affects the AC. So, get checked the radiator of the engine with your mechanic every three to four months.
In summer the heat can be intense, so the engine gets more heated and also improper lubrication also decreases the efficiency of compressor. So try to get efficiency of compressor. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Breaking News: Senator Marco Rubio Endorses PBC R Party Chair Mike Barnett
Palm Beach County Republican Executive Committee Chairman Mike Barnett, just off of the heels of his endorsement announcement from the Ultra Maga King himself, President Donald J. Trump, recieves another incredible endorsement from none other than Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio.
Rubio’s chief of staff, Mike Needham, sent Chairman Barnett an email with the news and a quote from Senator Rubio.
Michael Barnett has been a tremendous chairman of the Palm Beach County Republicans. His efforts were a critical part of our historic success in the county in 2022, and I am enthusiastic to support his re-election.” -Senator Marco Rubio
Currently, there is a heated campaign for the upcoming board elections for the REC. Three slates are running against the current board. The infighting has led opponents of Barnett to question the authenticity of the Trump endorsement. The full letter was included in this morning’s JOLT article written by Jack Furnari.
President Trump wrote:
I hope you will reelect my friend Michael Barnett for another term as chairman of the Republican Party of Palm Beach County…the Republican Party needs his continued leadership. I hope you will give him your full consideration.
There can be no doubt that the endorsements from these two leaders are not only authentic but enthusiastic and heartfelt.
Congratulations to Mike Barnett. These endorsements are a huge victory.

It is our desire and intent to educate clients about how capital markets work and to provide them with the information necessary for their financial well-being.
The advice to follow an evidence-based approach to investing is significantly different from most of the advice heard on Wall Street and in the financial media. It also is different from the strategy followed by the typical individual investor. Therefore, we believe it is extremely important to be aware of the academic research demonstrating that markets are generally highly efficient.
A large number of studies (below) have shown that it is highly unlikely investors will be able to exploit market inefficiencies after accounting for the expenses of the effort. It is essential to know how a well-diversified portfolio can help manage risk, a message that often bears repeating as asset classes come in and out of favor over time. The same sentiment applies to understanding how attempts to time the market — either in terms of individual securities or asset classes — typically lead to realizing lower returns than those available from a buy, hold and rebalance strategy.
Because our investment approach is different from the average investment advisor, it is crucial for you to understand why we recommend it. Put simply, knowledge is the key to discipline. For example, in the late 1990s, when the growth asset class outperformed the value asset class, it became tempting to pour everything into that single asset class. Those who do not possess a basic understanding of evidence-based investing are more likely to quickly become dissatisfied when their portfolio underperforms the latest hot asset class.
What is the basic knowledge needed to remain a disciplined evidence-based investor? See the sidebar “The Five Point Plan” for five concepts that can help you form a strong foundation from which to build.
Markets Are Efficient
Public information is of little fundamental value. New information is so quickly incorporated into asset prices that use of this knowledge cannot be expected to consistently yield superior risk-adjusted returns.
Risk and Expected Reward Are Related
Investors who expect or need to achieve higher returns must accept the associated risk. Equity-like returns do not come without commensurate risks. There is no promise of high returns without high risk.
Global diversification across a variety of imperfectly correlated asset classes is the most effective way to reduce risk. Diversification is always working, whether we are pleased with the immediate results. Diversification should be thought of as the equivalent of buying insurance against having all of one’s investment eggs in the wrong basket.
Markets Are Unpredictable in the Short Run and Even in the Long Run
In the long run, we expect that equity markets will rise more than fall. Individuals who correctly predict short-term market movements should likely attribute their results to luck rather than skill.
Discipline Is Key to Successful Investing
For far too many investors, the variable that ultimately determines the results of their portfolio is not investment returns but investor behavior. Emotions can lead investors to make poor decisions at the wrong times. It is easy to remain disciplined during bull markets. However, it is far more important to do so in bear markets and avoid the far-too-human propensity to sell at market bottoms.
No matter where your plan goes, we will continue to place importance on evaluating risk tolerance, building a globally diversified portfolio and implementing regular, disciplined rebalancing techniques. Having such knowledge changes the way you approach investing. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

R17 5/6 axis robot arm
Low cost bench-top 750mm 5 or 6 axis articulated robot arm
R17 is a low cost entry to robotics, fast, accurate and reliable and easy to program. It has a long reach and therefore a larger and much more useful workspace than comparable machines. The mechanics are simple and phenomenally reliable. There are Mk1 R17s in service which have been running 3 shifts a day for 12 years without failure; in fact we give a 2 year warranty.
The R17 is a complete self-contained five or six axis vertically articulated robot arm system designed as a cost effective solution for processes requiring long reach or difficult access. Applications include product testing, sample handling, parts handling, machine feeding, welding, spraying, sound measurement and many more. It is easy to apply and program yet is capable of the most intricate tasks.
The latest version uses new light weight, high speed, high efficiency hybrid stepping motors with intelligent micro-stepping for both power and speed and for low speed precision when required. Each motion of the robot is monitored by the encoders that stop all motion in the event of a collision or other problem. The package includes the latest robot controller that is simple and reliable using a partnership of CPU and DSP micro-processors and intelligent MOSFET drives. ROBOFORTH II embedded software gets you started easily yet permits the most complex motions, interfaces and peripherals to be programmed, assisted by ROBWIN project manager that brings everything together on one Windows screen. Everyone who uses this system agrees it is both flexible and really easy to use.
The 6th axis is a unique way to make 6 axes optional, being an add-on module with a small stepping motor driving through an anti-backlash gearbox.
The R17HPL uses 4 stack motors for extra lifting ability. The R17HS uses 3 advanced brushless servomotors on axes 1,2 and 3, with stepping motors on axes 4, 5 and 6. The R17HSW (high speed waist only) is a compromise since many applications do not need much speed in a vertical direction but have long X-Y distances requiring long waist moves where valuable time is lost.
750mm 5 or 6 axis articulated format ideal for applications requiring long reach
Optional electric or pneumatic grippers, vacuum pickup, tool changers.
high payload and very high speed versions
Fully enclosed; pneumatics and wiring go through the arm, not strapped to the outside.

We’re right to worry about whether the Republican Party as an organization would sanction executing the plan outlined in this Newsweek opinion column. I have no doubt in my military mind that Donald Trump would do anything he could to stay in power, and that the Conservative movement (defined as the GOP and associated think tanks and interest groups) would do anything to keep a conservative in power. If those interests align and leaders see a unique opportunity, an attempt to establish a Presidency that lacked popular support is not out of the question.
I’ve written before about the Republican Project as I see it: a long-term conservative effort to capture the legal institutions necessary to keep power without having to bother assembling a coalition that can win elections, and block progressive legislation when they can’t. They would use these institutions to protect friends and hurt enemies, and to uphold orders restricting the right to vote while blocking local rules that would protect it. Once in control of these institutions, conservatives would use that control to protect their power if possible.
As I read the Newsweek scenario, it boils down to this: Biden wins the popular vote as well as the Electoral College on the strength of wins in four swing states which all have GOP legislative majorities. Trump and the GOP establishment challenge the result arguing that counterfeit ballots printed by China (presumably an anti-Trump Chinese intelligence operation) made the difference in those four states. Trump declares a national emergency and a national security investigation, which delays appointment of their Electors. Neither candidate assembles a majority in the Electoral College and the House, with its majority of GOP state delegations, would decide the election in favor of Trump. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A new female alt-folk trio from Devon, Lara Snowden and Holly Jo Gilbert-West sharing vocals and acoustic guitar with Kathryn Tremlett on violin and piano, make their recording bow with a six track EP of original material that most certainly whets the appetite for a full album in the hopefully not too distant future.
It’s perhaps a mark of their assurance that they open proceedings with a ballad titled ‘Fisherman’s Blues’. It certainly takes balls, or whatever the female equivalent may be, to share a title with one of the best known Waterboys’ classics, let alone brazenly have it head up the collection, but, featuring fiddle, spooked electric guitar, upright bass and tinklingly moody descending piano line, its tale of a girl growing up in a fishing town, with all the tragedies that can bring, effortlessly sweeps any quality comparisons aside.
Having made such an assertive entrance, they continue to impress with a further set of songs that draw upon their West Country background, the forces of nature and a female perspective. Second up showcases Tremlett’s sorrowful violin on the heartbreak-themed ‘Sweet Summer Rain’ with its almost ethereal keyboards swirl from producer Jack Henderson and cascading melody line, moving on to ‘Patchwork’, an optimistic love song underpinned by an insistent tapping and tumbling military beat and fleshed out with violin and piano. ‘Same Old Records’ takes a swerve into jazzier areas with gypsy violin and Andrew Tween from Seth Lakeman’s band providing syncopated drums, the finger-clicking rhythm and twin vocals calling to mind a folksier Cleo Laine.
Things are pared back to primarily acoustic guitar for ‘That Road’, a terrific moody, soulful number, the melody and vocal delivery of which can’t help but call to mind Bill Withers’s ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’. Introduced by piano trills and almost Oriental-flavoured violin waterfalls, the album closes with the title track, written on a Cornwall beach and looking to evoke that sense of feeling the most alive in the darkest hours, embracing rather than running from the metaphorical winds and tides.
Potentially the West Country’s answer to First Aid Kit, currently, the trio largely seem to only play around their own backyard. I suspect their horizons are about to expand dramatically.

It’s that time again when the folk world looks back and hands out gongs to the great and good while conspiracy theories abound. Actually there have been far fewer of those this year; the detractors must have finally decided that the BBC keeps the names of the voters secret to avoid them being showered by gifts of Rolexes and vintage champagne in attempts to win approval. As if!
All in all, we’re looking back on a vintage year. I listen to more new music than the average punter and I’d heard only ten of the twenty-three tracks chosen to represent 2014 in this collection, so I’m clearly not trying hard enough. As ever the double-CD is well programmed by the four compilers – this is not just an audio catalogue: it has to stand as a listenable collection in its own right, which it does.
The opener is the sprightly ‘Moorlough Mary’ by Cara Dillon which breaks the ice nicely. Next is ‘It Would Not Be A Rose’ from Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker sounding rather more bitter taken out of the context of their album. You might expect The Will Pound Band to rock the rafters but the selection here is the rather down-beat ‘Jimmy Ward’s’ given a bluesy, slightly jazzy persona. That eases into Jez Lowe’s almost lullaby ‘The Pitmen Poets’ and a traditional Gaelic song from Cruinn. By now you’re settled back into your armchair and drifting, only to snapped back to wakefullness by Nancy Kerr’s ‘Never Ever Lay Them Down’ a super song from an album that has somehow managed to elude me so far.
The first set closes with The Young’Uns’ ‘John Hill’ with its borrowed tune and piano sounding almost like a hymn and second opens with the similarly powerful but restrained ‘Waking Dreams (Awake, Awake)’ from Martin & Eliza Carthy. Then, from out of nowhere, comes Naomi Bedford with ‘The Spider And The Wolf’, a song written by her partner Paul Simmonds and taken from her album A History Of Insolence. The other in-yer-face track here is ‘Bedlam’ by Stick In The Wheel and if you haven’t heard them yet you’re in for treat and you won’t be able to forget ‘I Saw The Dead’ by Martin Green with Becky Unthank in a hurry either.
Finally we have the four nominees for The Young Folk Award: Talisk, Wildwood Kin, Roseanne Reid and Cup O’Joe. Impossible to say who the winner will be but I’d like to hear more of Roseanne Reid. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Are you a morning person or a night owl? An exercise lover or exercise hater? Chances are answering each of these questions required little thought. Most of us fall into one of the 2 categories. It’s not so much a matter of what you want to be but what you are. I would venture to say the same is true of peanut butter or “nut butters” as we now inclusively refer to them. The world is divided into “crunchy” and “smooth.” While I don’t dislike smooth peanut butter, I can’t for the life of me understand anyone choosing it over crunchy.
I was reminded of my place in the crunchy camp recently when I tasted the most delicious nut butter, Nuttzo. Nuttzo brings crunchy to another level. There are all different kind of nuts: hazelnuts, almonds and brazil nuts. The peanut free version also has flax and chia seeds. This makes it a “multicrunch” nut butter with all different flavors and textures in every bite. Two studies, one by Murakami et al and the other Cassady, connected crunchy foods with increased satiety. If we apply this to nut butter, crunchy may be the better choice when it comes to weight management.
If I am going to go smooth, it’s never for an average peanut butter. I happen to enjoy Peanut Butter and Co.’s Dark Chocolate Dreams which is now available in squeeze packs. . This is unbelievable on an apple. Peanut Butter and Co. also makes a spicy peanut butter called The Heat is On. This makes a great dip. These flavors may distract me from their “smoothness” but I’d be open to tasting crunchy versions.
Another peanut-free great tasting, crunchy option is the Natural Crunch Sunbutter . Sunbutter is used in many schools, has a nice mild taste and is made primarily from sunflower seeds.
Are you smooth or crunchy? Do you think there are peanut butter personalities? What is the stereotypical “crunchy” or “smooth”? And what is your favorite nut butter? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Ferrari has firmed up its 2023 F1 academy drivers as they start their week-long training programme at Maranello.
Having already started out as the team principal more than a week ago, Frederic Vasseur was also at hand to kick-off a week-long training programme for the 2023 Ferrari F1 academy drivers at Maranello alongside Laurent Mekies and Marco Matassa.
The academy has two new faces – namely Tuukka Taponen and Aurelia Nobels – joining the six existing from last season. The ones carrying on from last year are Arthur Leclerc, Oliver Bearman, Dino Beganovic, James Wharton and Maya Weug.
Seven of the eight drivers were present for the first day with Weug missing as she is taking part in the The Female Quotient’s Equality Lounge where she is discussing the topic of “Driving Equality Forward with the Women Leading in Motorsport”.
The drivers who are not carrying on this year are Mick Schumacher, Robert Shwartzman and Laura Camps Torras. The German has moved on to Mercedes for 2023, while the Russian has been promoted to reserve capacity and is no longer part of the academy.
The week-long programme will see them undergo various tests on the psychological and physical front, with a karting session too where Tony Kart will help them when they hit the Franciacorta track. The programme will be curated according to their 2023 experience.
“The start of a new academic year is always a very special moment,” said Matassa. “It’s good to meet up again with our existing students and even more special to open the doors to our new ones. It’s going to be a particularly demanding season because seven of the eight of them will be rookies in their category and so they face an even tougher challenge.
“In 2022, we were back winning titles again and, for our part, we are ready to do our utmost, investing even more in terms of the facilities and personnel that we will put at the disposal of our youngsters, to help and support them in obtaining the results of which we know they are capable. A special welcome goes to our newcomers, Aurelia Nobels and Tuukka Taponen, the latest graduates of our scouting programme.
“Aurelia joins the FDA from the programme we run with the FIA, which has already proved successful with Maya Weug, while Tuukka was the most outstanding of the youngsters who came to Maranello for the third edition of the FDA Scouting World Finals, where all those taking part were of a very high standard. We are looking forward to starting work with them and the other students in the hope that we have a successful year together.”
Here’s the full list of Ferrari academy drivers and their programmes –
Arthur Leclerc (DAMS) and Oliver Bearman (Prema) – Formula 2
Dino Beganovic (Prema) – Formula 3
Rafael Camara (Prema) and Maya Weug (KIC Motorsport) – Formula Regional European Championship
James Wharton (Prema), Tuukka Taponen (Prema) and Aurelia Nobels (Iron Dames) – Formula 4 (Italy)

Use the metallic brush included with your tool kit to clean the teeth on the hobbed bolt, or use compressed air to make sure the teeth are clean. Once gently cleaned, roll the large gear to spin the hobbed bolt and visually inspect the teeth for any dull or missing segments.

Help please, I think I am having a senior moment…
I have attached some screen shots of what I concieve as being correct, but I am open to further correction.
Two examples of how I envisage coping with the task of creating sales and purchase invoices that have prepayments and part payments made against them, examples show both for current and next financial periods.
Question is am I doing this properly…
SALES INVOICE WITH PREPAYMENT FOR SECURITY BOND
- sales invoice created, allowing for prepayment (security bond)
- sales invoice receipt, recording payment against accounts receivable
- repaying cutomer security bond.
PURCHASE INVOICE CREATED, WITH ALLOCATION OF PREPAYMENT FOR NEXT FINANCIAL YEAR, AND THEN PART PAYMENT MADE IN CURRENT FINANCIAL YEAR
4.purchase invoice created, allowing for prepayment (for next financial year)
5.purchase invoice part payment, recorded to accounts payable.
6. prepayment for next financial year is allocated at day 1 of next financial year (ie 6th April 2017)
Is my understanding and method here correct. many thanks all… | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dallaire, Eggleton among 9 new senators
Last Updated Thu, 24 Mar 2005 15:22:31 EST
OTTAWA - Romeo Dallaire, the 58-year-old retired Canadian general who headed the United Nations peacekeeping mission during the Rwandan genocide, is among nine new senators named by the prime minister Thursday.
Another of Paul Martin's choices was Art Eggleton, 61, who served as the mayor of Toronto from 1980 to 1991 and later held several cabinet positions in the federal Liberal government.
Paul Martin explains his choice of senators on Thursday.
Eggleton had to resign from his post as defence minister in 2002 over conflict of interest allegations, and did not run for re-election in 2004.
The other new senators are:
* Jim Cowan, 63, of Nova Scotia.
* Nancy Ruth, 63, of Ontario.
* Lillian Dyck, 59, of Saskatchewan.
* Robert Peterson, 67, of Saskatchewan.
* Grant Mitchell, 53, of Alberta.
* Elaine McCoy, 59, of Alberta.
* Claudette Tardif, 57, of Alberta.
"What we've done is to nominate outstanding Canadians," Martin said Thursday, just after announcing the appointments.
Of the nine appointees, Martin's office said six will sit in the Senate as Liberals, including Dallaire and Eggleton; Ruth and McCoy will sit as Progressive Conservative senators (the old federal party designation still exists in the Senate, along with the newer Conservative Party of Canada designation); and Dyck is supposed to represent the New Democratic Party.
But the NDP immediately said it won't recognize Dyck because official party policy calls for the abolition of the Senate. She is not a member of the NDP, and the party will encourage her to sit as an independent, spokesperson Karl Belanger told the Canadian Press.
Martin, who delayed making the appointments for more than a year after becoming prime minister in December 2003, has said he agrees the Senate could be overhauled to become more democratic.
Despite vowing to address the issue of Western alienation, none of the new members are those who had been unofficially elected by Alberta voters, who embrace the idea of an elected Senate.
Seven more Senate vacancies remain for Martin to fill; he said there will be more announcements next week.
Members of Canada's Senate hold their positions until they are 75 years of age, unless they die or choose to retire earlier.
I am fully supportive of dallaire getting this position, he has done a great service for his country and has been through a lot. For those who are unaware as to who this man is, please look here...he is literally a living legend.
Also, i'm interested to hear some opinions about the appointed senate and perhaps the lack of balance due to few PC appointments during the mulroney years. This has been part of the reform platform for years, i have no idea what the new Conservatives have to say on the issue, but lets hear some opinions. Perhaps some comments from americans on the elected senate...maybe something about the high re-election rates and perhaps some pros/cons.
As a side note, i recommend this documentary for those who are interested in the Rwanda genocide from dallaire's perspective: here
Shake Hands With the Devil: The Journey of Romeo Dallaire
The Film, winner of the Documentary Audience Award at the Sundance Film
Festival, follows Lt. Gen. Romeo Dallaire's first trip back to Rwanda 10
years after the genocide, in which over the course of 100 days in 1994
over 800,000 Rwandans were brutally murdered. It chronicles the UN
mission and the valiant efforts of the small Peacekeeping team sent to
Rwanda over a decade ago.
Powerful and at times graphic, the documentary only begins to show you

If your state currently does not have a season except for Seniors and they changed the law to allow it for everyone would you hunt with one? I myself would.
Yep. Id rather use a X-Bow then a gun and do during our gun season. Its the only time we can use them unless you have a permit. Next year looks like it will be open. Stop in and check out our X-Bows at www.talismancrossbows.com The Mantis will be in production soon. It can be set up Hoz or Vert.It will also shoot bullets and bird shot with a our rail system.
My bow has been giving me tuning fits, and then opening day the sights got knocked loose and I didn't feel comfortable hunting with it. Used my Barnett RC150 as a back up, got it for the kids primarily, but as a backup for me...was worth it. Don't see the issues folks have with them.
Last year this was made a reality in the PA woods. I don't agree with it, but I won't look down on those who will take advantage of it in a responsible way. What I saw the most of was older men, who were rifle only hunters, due to a perceived level of difficulty with a vertical bow, picking up xbows and heading to the woods after a short shooting session with a younger bow hunter as their instructor. These younger bow hunters, usually a son or grandson, were so excited at the thought of sharing the woods with their fathers or grandfathers that they were able to look past the lack of practice and give said student the thumbs up for hunting when they really should have pressed them to spend more time getting proficient with their new weapon. Will I use one? Not until I can't pull back 45 or 50 pounds. Have I encouraged someone to use one? Hell yes!!! I have been trying to get my wife's grandfather to get one since they passed the new law. The reality of it is, he could have easily gotten a permit for one BEFORE this new law, but he didn't because he wouldn't want to admit he couldn't pull a bow back. IMO the law was fine the way it was. There wasn't anyone that was being excluded from the bow woods, except some people who were intimidated by what they thought about vertical bows and or the unwillingness to admit they were physically unable to use one.
Nope! WI allows crossbow for the elderly (over 65) and the handicapped. These laws are supported by the majority of hunters in the badger state. Every time the question of full inclusion is asked in WI, it fails. Archerys tag sales in are on the rise, Bowhunting is very popular in Wisconsin. (see link) The popularity of bowhunting in birthplace of licensed bowhunting as a sport and game management tool is still growing in WI. Perhaps its due to the fact that nobody is excluded and everybody that wishes to partisipate can do so. http://outdoornews.com/wisconsin/news/article_e001af7a-d6dc-11df-a00c-001cc4c03286.html | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mac Os Ventura Compatibility with DJM900 Nexus??
Hi! I have been having this issue all day where my DJ software (Traktor) on my new Mac won't connect to my mixer (DJM900 Nexus)/CDJS (2 CDJ2000 Nexus') in HID Mode. I downloaded the DJM900 Nexus driver to my new mac and was so confused why it still wasn't working. Then I realized that my Mac just updated and is now running the Ventura update. I went to look at the DJM900 Nexus drivers and it didn't mention anything about being compatible with this new Ventua update. Can anyone from Pioneer let me know if it is impossible to use a DJM900 Nexus Mixer with the Ventura update? Thank you!
It's a real shame that your hardware is so good that some venues I play in still use the DJM-900NXS. (One of my venues has the newer mixer but it's currently being serviced so they reverted back to the NXS1 over the weekend) So I really wish Pioneer would have a change of heart and support it with firmware updates 😢 - it's just not viable to keep the rest of your software and OS out of date because of one mixer that might pop up from time to time in places you play. Plus to be honest updating its firmware is good will towards Pioneer's loyal user base, particularly the many paying a subscription on Rekordbox who would hope this ongoing fee would cover driver support.
Up until this weekend it was manageable as it only dropped out for a few seconds but now it's actually freezing until you unplug and replug the mixer back in which was scary in a big room club in front of 500 people over the weekend!
Obviously you just manage the forums and make support videos Pulse but if there's anyway to pass on the feedback to the powers that be, It'd be really greatly appreciated from a loyal Pioneer user who has happily spent much money on equipment and software over the years :-) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

There was a change in this last year when Rolex released three new Cellini automatics: one for time and one for the date. The Cellini gold dress watch collection is less well known than Rolex’s Oyster series. With manual-wind movements, this could be a factor. For more information, check out, https://www.namsawang.com/th/rolex/cellini/
The Cellini has Rolex’s in-house Caliber 3132, which is also used in the Explorer and is known for its durability and accuracy, is used in this model. The watch has the look and feels of a well-kept 1950s classic. A curved, polished case, a narrow bezel with a fluted ring, a domed and polished case back with a little, flat-pronged buckle, and glossy, varnished straps with thin, flat-pronged clips are some of the design elements that are reminiscent of Rolex’s past. The 39-mm case diameter of this watch is just suitable for today’s wrists.
Because luminous coating was omitted in favor of an elegant design, the hands contrast well enough with the dial to simplify reading the time. Having no date display and a fluted crown makes the watch look and operates more elegantly.
The finishing touches on Cellini Time are exquisite. This watch is perfect, including the dial, hands, and case. Inner lugs and buckle surfaces, where burrs and uneven spots can be seen, are particularly noticeable because of the high quality of polishing. Spring bars that slope and a matching strap conforming to the case are also high quality. The spring bars are positioned relatively low on the lugs to enhance comfort.
The curved back of the case provides a comfortable fit for the wrist. This was probably due to the strap being stiff and resisting bending, which caused the watch to sway back and forth. While small cracks aren’t distracting, perfectionists may find the less pliable nature of a varnished strap bothersome. The high polish case makes even the most minor blemishes stand out.
However, the movement does not need to keep its identity a secret. The rotor of Calibre 3132 has a sunburst finish, the bridges have parlance, the screw heads have been polished, and some of the edges have been beveled. An adjustable balance bridge, blue Parachrom free-sprung balance spring, and fine regulation via screw weights on the balance wheel round out the movement’s features. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This paper shows how a long term process of narrative inquiry may act as a reflective tool for challenging and revising preliminary researcher frames for an inquiry. In this paper I return to a detailed set of fieldnotes taken over a several year period to show how my own assumptions and biases changed throughout the course of inquiry. This work is based on a study of newcomer Chinese family educational narratives. Several stories encountered during the first days of field work are revisited as they show up through the course of conducting field work.

We are all taking so many more pictures today than we did fifteen to twenty years ago. Thanks to cloud storage we can save and share thousands of images from our phones. No one knows this better than our students who will never understand the agonizing waits we used to endure after dropping off rolls of film at the local photo developer. Since our students are already snapping thousands of pictures, let’s take advantage of that habit and use it in our classrooms. Here are three reasons to maintain photo galleries with your students.
1. Copyright freedom.
Use a Google Drive, Dropbox, or another cloud service to create a gallery of pictures that your students can access for use in their multimedia projects. Ask your students to submit pictures that align to themes that you designate. For example, you might have a nature theme or pet theme in your gallery that you have students add pictures that match that theme. If you’re worried about inappropriate submissions, moderate submissions by first having students upload to a folder that only accepts files then move the pictures to a publicly viewable folder. DropItToMe is a great tool for doing that. Learn how to use DropItToMe by watching this video.
2. Writing prompts.
Anyone who has ever taught a language arts class will tell you that one of perennial challenges is helping students who say, “I don’t have anything to write about” when you give them a creative writing assignment. Having an image gallery for those students to scroll through can be of assistance in those situations. Have your students scroll through one of the thematic galleries you’ve created and choose a picture or two to craft a story about.
3. Concept illustrations.
Math and science is all around us. Have your students take pictures that they think illustrate or are representative of the concepts they are learning about in your math or science lessons. By putting those pictures into a classroom gallery you’re letting all of the students learn from and with each other. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Radiopharm Theranostics (ASX:RAD, “Radiopharm” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative oncology radiopharmaceuticals for areas of high unmet medical needs, is pleased to announce that it has increased its ownership stake in Radiopharm Ventures, LLC, a joint venture created with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, from 51% to 75%.
Radiopharm Ventures, LLC, is a joint venture created in Q3 2022 between MD Anderson and Radiopharm Theranostics
Leading candidate B7H3 mAb is successfully completing preclinical studiesB7H3 Phase I therapeutic clinical trial planned to start in H1 CY2025B7H3 Phase 1 will be the first clinical trial globally targeting B7H3 as with a systemic radiopharmaceuticalTwo additional preclinical Radiopharm Ventures’ assets show early positive results – move to final candidate selection
The move to an increased ownership percentage comes as the joint venture continues to show promising progress in its cancer therapeutic pipeline, including the advancement of its leading B7H3 candidate and other preclinical assets.
B7-H3 is an immune checkpoint protein that is very infrequently seen in the majority of healthy cells but it is consistently abnormally overexpressed in the majority of cancer tissues. High expression of B7H3 in cancer is associated with greater tumor size and lymphatic invasion.
The B7H3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) lead candidate is successfully completing preclinical studies.
The company plans to initiate a Phase I therapeutic trial in the first half of calendar 2025, making a significant step toward clinical application.
Additionally, two other preclinical candidates have demonstrated early positive results and have progressed towards final candidate selection, with potential applications across multiple solid tumour types.
To support these advancements and its ownership percentage increase to 75%, Radiopharm has committed an additional USD$4.0 million to the joint venture, to cover future preclinical and clinical expenses.
Radiopharm and MD Anderson launched Radiopharm Ventures, LLC in September 2022 to develop novel radiopharmaceutical products for cancer treatment. The joint venture leverages MD Anderson’s expertise in antigen discovery and molecular imaging alongside Radiopharm’s capabilities in developing radiopharmaceutical therapies.
Riccardo Canevari, CEO & Managing Director of Radiopharm, commented: ‘We are encouraged by the progress to date within Radiopharm Ventures. The increased ownership by RAD, coupled with the advancements in the associated programs, positions us well to enter a Phase 1 clinical trial with B7H3 next year.”

Just Like the Weather, This Song Is ‘Icy’ [WICKED OR WHACK?]
Even though it's about 60 degrees out right now, today's "Wicked or Whack?" is a harsh reminder that we still have months left of the bone-chilling cold – but the artist behind the song is actually heating things up.
You may not know Kim Petras. She is a German singer and songwriter that has built her fan base from the ground up.
Kim originally got lots of attention when she underwent a gender transition at a very young age. The media exposure went around the world. She was only 12 when she went through the gender transition, which included intense hormone therapy. Lots of controversy surrounded her and her parents. Kim was then dubbed the youngest transsexual and later got gender reassignment surgery at the age of 16.
She has been touring and gathering a loyal following especially in the LGBTQ community. She most recently went on tour with Rita Ora.
To add a little more scandal to Kim's resumé, she has been and continues to work with Dr. Luke, the producer who was accused of sexual assault by Kesha.
If you haven't heard anything from Kim and this is your first song, then get ready. She has been big in the EMD world and actually had a few chart-toppers on the dance charts already.
As you can probably tell, Kim's inspirations are Britney Spears, Madonna, and even Freddie Mercury. I can definitely see some Britney in this music video.
So what did you think? Is Kim ready for mainstream pop success? Is 2020 the breakthrough year for her? Vote now: is this song wicked good or totally whack? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Dalla #BeHuman initiative to #RegenerAction.
In the past two weeks, I have had the immense honor of participating in several incredible encounters and powerful experiences. I met with the pope. Subsequently, I have followed activists, scholars, educators, theologians, economists, entrepreneurs, business people, diplomats, philosophers, farmers, young people, innovators, and scientists who emphasize the urgency of rethinking and rebuilding a new model of production, consumption, and development, starting from the bottom, from the essential values of humanity. Now, I digest and process the endless stimuli, provocations, inspirations, and shared ambitions.
Transformative experiences have profoundly impacted my perspective on food security and ecological regeneration. Among these, an encounter with Pope Francis at the World Meeting on Human Fraternity stands out. Being invited to contribute to the discussions on our food systems’ future was humbling and enlightening. The urgency of addressing the poly-crisis we face today became starkly apparent, leading to three critical reflections:
Food Security and Climate Crisis
Our discussions reinforced the understanding that food security can only be tackled together with the climate crisis. Pope Francis’s encyclical “Laudato Si” was a cornerstone of our dialogue, emphasizing the necessity for an integral ecological development model. This approach requires a unified political strategy that includes environmental regeneration, human Health, social dimensions, cultural heritage preservation, and inclusive economic development. The interconnectedness of these elements is vital for creating resilient and sustainable food systems.
Regeneration from the Roots
Real regeneration must start from the roots — literally and figuratively. We must prioritize soil health and cultural education. By instilling a deep respect for our natural environment and cultural traditions, we can address global challenges at their core rather than merely treating the symptoms. This approach calls for educational innovations that foster environmental stewardship and culture, ensuring that future generations understand the intrinsic value of their heritage and natural resources.
Awareness and Technology for Change
Our final discussions highlighted the role of awareness and consciousness in driving change. Technological advancements, including artificial intelligence, must be harnessed to enhance our ability to measure and understand the impacts of our actions. This knowledge empowers us to make informed decisions and take positive steps towards sustainability. Awareness campaigns and educational programs are essential for fostering a culture of responsibility and proactive engagement with our environment.
RegenerAction: Imagining, Believing, and Acting
Following the World Meeting, I participated in RegenerAtction, a retreat guided by the mantra: IMAGINE, BELIEVE, ACT. This experience was transformative, allowing us to envision a world where the soil thrives, marginal areas flourish, and traditional wisdom is cherished. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
