Home insurance is a crucial investment that protects you financially in case of unforeseen events such as theft, natural disasters, or accidents that cause damage to your home or property. However, ensuring that your home insurance policy offers the correct liability limits to protect you in case of lawsuits is essential. Liability limits refer to the maximum amount your insurance company will pay in case of a covered lawsuit. Here are some tips on choosing the proper liability limits for your home insurance policy.
- Understand your risks
To assess your risks, consider the potential dangers on your property. Do you have a swimming pool, hot tub, or trampoline that could result in an injury? Do you have a dog that could bite someone? Are there hazardous conditions on your property that could lead to someone tripping and falling? By identifying the risks associated with your property, you can determine the likelihood of a lawsuit being filed against you.
- Determine Your Assets
Your assets include your home, personal property, and savings. If you are sued for more than your home insurance policy limit, your assets could be seized to pay for the damages. Consider the total value of your assets to determine how much liability coverage you need.
- Consider your budget
While having enough liability coverage to protect your assets is essential, choosing the coverage you can afford is also necessary. Higher liability limits typically result in higher premiums. Consider how much you will pay for your home insurance policy and choose a coverage that meets your needs and budget.
- Evaluate state requirements
Some states have minimum liability requirements for home insurance policies. Be sure to check the conditions in your state to ensure that you meet the minimum standards. However, keep in mind that minimum liability limits may not be enough to protect your assets in the event of a lawsuit.
- Consult with an insurance agent
An insurance agent can provide valuable guidance on choosing the correct liability limits for your home insurance policy. An agent can help you evaluate your risks, determine your assets, and find coverage that fits your budget. Additionally, an agent can provide information on umbrella insurance policies that can provide additional protection beyond your home insurance policy limits.
- Consider an umbrella policy
An umbrella policy provides additional liability protection beyond the limits of your home insurance policy. Umbrella policies are typically sold in increments of one million dollars and can protect against damages that exceed your home insurance policy limit. An umbrella policy can provide added protection and peace of mind if you have significant assets or a high risk of lawsuits.
- Don't sacrifice coverage for cost
While it's crucial to choose liability coverage that fits within your budget, it's equally important not to sacrifice coverage for the cost. In the event of a lawsuit, inadequate liability coverage can result in significant financial losses. Consider your risks, assets, and budget when choosing your liability limits, and select the coverage that provides adequate protection.
- Understand exclusions and limitations
It's important to understand the exclusions and limitations of your home insurance policy. Some policies may exclude coverage for certain activities or conditions, such as using certain types of vehicles or damage caused by certain natural disasters. Read your policy carefully and understand any exclusions or limitations impacting your liability coverage.
- Consider a personal liability endorsement
A personal liability endorsement is an add-on to your home insurance policy that provides additional liability coverage. This type of endorsement can be beneficial if you have a high net worth or an increased risk of lawsuits. Be sure to speak with your insurance agent to determine if a personal liability endorsement is right for you.
- Review your policy annually
Reviewing your home insurance policy annually is vital to ensure adequate liability coverage. Your circumstances may change over time, and you may need to adjust your coverage accordingly. For example, if you have recently renovated your home, you may need to increase your liability coverage to reflect the increased value of your property.
In conclusion, choosing the correct liability limits for your home insurance policy is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. Consider your risks, assets, budget, and state requirements, and consult with an insurance agent to ensure adequate protection in case of a lawsuit. Remember, the correct liability limits can protect your assets and give you peace of mind in the event of unexpected accidents or injuries. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Depression can occur for many reasons. Losing a job can create anxiety and sometimes depression. Divorce or the death of a loved one can also send you into a tailspin. A surprisingly large number of medications are also associated with depression. They include the acne medicine Accutane (isotretinoin), the osteoporosis medicine Actonel (risedronate), Chantix (varenicline) to help people quit smoking and Ultram (tramadol) for pain. This reader wants to know whether there is a link between his BP pill losartan and suicide.
Depression, Losartan and Suicide?
Q. I have been taking losartan and amlodipine for about ten years. My blood pressure is under control, but my anxiety and depression are not.
For the first time in my life, I am thinking about suicide. I blamed stress, but I wonder whether the medicine could be contributing.
A. A study published in JAMA Network Open (Oct. 16, 2019) reported an association between ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers) like losartan and suicide. This will no doubt come as a surprise to many health professionals. However, depression is listed as a possible side effect in the official prescribing information.
The authors of the latest research have a possible explanation for the potential link between losartan and suicide. Drugs called ARBs block the binding of a crucial compound called angiotensin II (AII) to its receptors.
Think of AII as a key trying to fit into a lock (its special receptor). When this action is blocked by angiotensin receptor blockers like losartan, there could be unexpected mental health consequences.
The authors of the study note that:
“…recent data suggest that users of ARBs, but not ACEis [angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors], may have an increased risk of suicide compared with nonusers.”
“The mechanisms by which ARBs or ACEIs might impart differential risks of suicide are unknown. As noted earlier, higher levels of AII may increase levels of substance P, which may, in turn, promote stress and anxiety… Another possible explanation for a higher risk of suicide among users of ARBs is associated with the upregulation of AII and resulting unopposed stimulation of AII type 2 receptors. These effects have been associated with nuclear factor–κB pathway activation, a process increasingly recognized as being involved in the pathophysiology of mood disorders.”
We know that sounds like doctor talk. It is complex pharmacology, so we would understand if it seems confusing. The point is that it is not out of the realm of possibility that a BP drug like losartan could affect mood.
So What’s the Conclusion About Losartan and Suicide?
The final word on a link between losartan and suicide is not yet in.
But the Canadian researchers conclude that:
“Our findings suggest a possible increased risk of suicide associated with the use of ARBs compared with ACEIs among adults aged 66 years and older. Given their high prevalence of use, the severity of the outcome, and the similar efficacy of these drug classes in treating the same conditions, clinicians may opt for preferential use of ACEIs over ARBs where possible.”
Some readers might agree.
Readers Share Their Thoughts:
Patti doesn’t doubt that losartan could be linked to depression…and anxiety:
“Thank God, some actual scientific evidence! I have experienced terrible anxiety and depression on losartan. And along with it, anger issues. Maybe, now the doctors will listen to us!”
Kim can see a link between losartan and suicide:
“I have been on losartan for about ten years. Depression has been present and is now worse. I am always wondering why and how this is happening. I can see how someone would choose suicide now. Perhaps it is partially because of the losartan. I could not tolerate the lisinopril.”
Elizabeth does not identify specific BP meds but thinks such drugs in general could affect mood:
“In my experience as a clinical psychologist, I have noticed that patients with a preexisting mood disorder seem to develop more profound symptoms after beginning medications for high blood pressure. They have reported greater feelings of depression, thoughts of self-harm, and loss of interest in usual activities.
“I wonder if the medications show this effect primarily with people who have a latent or co-existing depressive disorder?”

A few weeks creating lasting memories with new friends does more than just offer kids something fun to do during the summer. Summer camp can tremendously impact a child by pushing them outside of their comfort zone with new activities, while making new friends along the way.
Here are a few ways summer camp can benefit a child’s growth and provide with skills they can use for the rest of their lives.
Camp Nurtures Social Skills
A summer camp experience provides children with an opportunity to make friends with other campers, as well as learn how to develop relationships with adult mentors. Developing these skills while they’re young builds future adults with strong leadership and decision making skills.
Camp Builds Friendships
Camps gives kids the opportunity to slow down and make valuable friendships without the pressures of labels, the social structure of school, and being glued to their phones and being on social media.
Camp Fosters Teamwork
Along with kids making friends at camp, they’re also encouraged to work alongside their peers and camp leaders. Whether it’s playing a sport, or participating in a group activity, campers learn to work together using their problem solving skills to accomplish their goals.
Camp Introduces Kids to Nature
Rather than being cooped up all day on their phones or watching TV, camp allows kids to detach from their life online and tap into the natural world. A summer camp experience provides kids with an exciting opportunity to see what they’ve been missing in the great outdoors.
Camp Keeps Kids Learning
While kids do need a break from a rigorous school program, the absence of regular enrichment over summer break gives room for kids to forget what they learned during the school year. To curb summer learning loss, camps offer educational opportunities that make learning and problem solving engaging and fun.
Camp Helps Kids Build Interests
Since most schools don’t offer electives like swim lessons or rock climbing, kids can gain those kinds of experiences at summer camp. Camp is a distraction-free option that allows kids to hone in on their interests, and do so around like-minded kids.
Camp Models Healthy Living
Not only does camp keep kids busy and physically active, camp also keeps kids on a healthy diet. Camps provide nutritious and delicious food to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.
Camp Encourages Personal Growth
Camp is not only an opportunity for kids to have fun during the summer, but it’s also a great way for kids to transfer the skills they learned into the classroom, in their personal relationships, and what they end up doing for future careers.
A Summer at Pine Grove Summer Camp
Summer camp is a great opportunity for your child to get a break from school and the classroom and delve into their interests all while making new friends. A summer camp experience at Pine Grove can give your child exactly that. From daily camp activities to bonding with other campers, you can give your child a summer camp experience they’ll never forget. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Popular festival that is celebrated 40 days before Easter, coinciding with Carnivals, the Quintos are in charge of masking people who go down the street with flour to claim this holiday.
History of the party
The “Festa de l’Eixabegó” is celebrated in Carnivals and the objective is to mask people who go down the street with flour, which is why it is also known as the Flour Festival. It is a festival that is also celebrated in other places such as Ibi (l \ ‘Alcoià) and Bèlgida (Vall d’Albaida), although there are some differences in the development of the festival. In Planes, according to the oldest of the town, the quintos got up early and walked with bouquets of burning herbs scenting the streets. Their objective was to raise money to carry out military service, so if they found a neighbor of the town who did not contribute, they would link him with an “eixabegó” or net and flour him. Nowadays, the “l’Eixabegó” festival moves to the Carnival Saturday. The fifths go out to the streets at 7 in the morning in a parade to shoot rockets. Then they stop for lunch and continue the party until 12 o’clock, when the Fifths collect the volunteers from the houses of the town, accompanied by the Unión Musical de Planes. At noon the party ends with a popular meal. It is, without a doubt, a unique festival that must be protected so that more people participate each year. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Keep The Kids Entertained
My family travel frequently and for long periods of time we find ourselves sitting in cars driving for miles across the countryside of whichever is our chosen host nation. Travel is a constant source of delight for us. There are always new lands to discover, new people to meet and new adventures and stories to store in our memory banks, which can be taken out at a moments notice, dusted off and embellished to regale other family members and friends back home. We have been blessed to experience the wide open spaces driving across the plains of the North America, the remoteness of the Australian outback, bumped over thousands of miles of dirt roads in Africa, ambled along the coastal highways of New Zealand and California, explored the mountains of Japan and flashed through the states of Europe or held our collective breaths on the narrow roads in rural Ireland.
Already in my children’s relatively young lives we have been blessed to have had many such amazing opportunities. Though wonderful, these long long hours in a car or bus, can at times lead to fatigue and dare I say it, boredom. As a result from time to time I have invented ways to relieve the monotony. Games are a great way to keep everyone occupied, ‘I Spy With My Little Eye’, The Alphabet Game, and an old family favorite, The Number Plate Game have wiled away many’s the hour for our family. The rules for the Number Plate game varies depending on what country we are in or whose turn it is to set the ‘rules of engagement’, it might be who is first to find a number plate from a certain state or country, the first to find a number plate with a given letter or number sequence, with bonus points for listing or making up a story using information about that state or country, the number of ways one can play this game are only limited by ones imagination. And the great thing is it shortens the monotony and we all learn a little something extra along the way. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Las Vegas Raiders 2nd year WR Tre Tucker seems to be “taking the next step” as a receiving weapon.
Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker availed himself well as a speedy target as a rookie. Reports emerging from the Raiders’ OTAs and mandatory minicamp seem to indicate that Tucker will firmly be the WR3 in OC Luke Getsy’s offense. At 5’9″, Tucker is on the smaller side, but his 4.4 second speed and ability to cut on out routes and comeback routes have head coach Antonio Pierce impressed, “(Tucker is) a different dude…Don’t look at his size…he’s the biggest dude out there.”
The Raiders receiving corps is a full one with many mouths to feed. WRs Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers are well established targets, and TEs Michael Mayer and Brock Bowers were two of the best pass catchers at the position of the last 5 years, so Tucker may not have the volume to be a major fantasy asset, but were something to happen to those ahead of him on the depth chart, Tucker might be a nice late-round stash. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The National Zakat Foundation (NZF) is a UK based charity that helps Muslims in need by collecting and distributing Zakat payments to a variety of causes. Zakat is a compulsory annual donation that is given by Muslims and is a proportion of their total wealth.
NZF challenged us to increase donations to enable them to help more people. They also wanted to increase the level of control that donors have over how their Zakat is distributed.

To enable NZF to increase donations, we delivered a new WordPress website and donation flow.
The unique way of donating Zakat and the mandatory nature of donations meant that user data needed to be reviewed carefully to build an optimised user flow that would increase donation value.
We developed a Zakat calculator to help individuals calculate the Zakat they owe. This tool increases NZF’s visibility in the search engines and increases their brand awareness.
The donation flow
The Zakat calculator seamlessly leads into the donation process and carries the donation values into the donation flow, encouraging the user to donate their Zakat with NZF.
Donors are able to allocate their donations to the causes that they care about most.
A branded experience
The donation flow has been designed in line with the NZF brand and incorporates interactive elements to provide a superior user experience.
We ran a number of workshops to explore the Zakat donation flows with the NZF team. Our goal was to create a useful and seamless donation process that would maximise the value of donations. To do this, our UX team designed a simple user journey with options to round up donation values to whole numbers and add additional donations. We designed the donation flow across a number of key pages to provide a user friendly and manageable donation process.
Managing the user experience
As a compulsory donation, Zakat donor behaviour can greatly vary and the donation flow needed to accommodate for all users. For individuals who want to distribute their own Zakat, the NZF donation flow has been designed to enable donors to give to the causes that they care about most. However a streamlined donation process is available for individuals seeking a swifter donation flow. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Measurements in the Field
There is a lot of time between field tasks while the drone is flying, so everyone took advantage of this to trek through the forefield to take some measurements. Not only is the data collected by the drone tied in with measured GPSA Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system used to track the location or position of objects on the Earth’s surface. points, but it is also “grounded” with field measurements. In this case the field measurements in question are striation directions.
Striations are a series of ridges, furrows or linear marks that are made when a glacier advances and scratches the underlying bedrock when it pushes and/or drags rocks and debris in front or underneath the ice. Glaciers act as huge bulldozers pushing everything it meets along the way in the direction the ice is flowing.
When I teach about striations in my courses, I tell my students to imagine a scenario when you were little and you accidentally dropped something behind a big heavy piece of furniture and you decided to get it yourself. You drag said heavy piece of furniture some distance to retrieve your lost item. In come your parents and they freak out because their nice hardwood floor, etc. is now sporting some not so nice gouges on it. And those floor gouges would be made in the direction you dragged the furniture. Well in nature glaciers are the heavy furniture, and the bedrock is the wood floor.
Don’t ask my parents about the time I did this with the refrigerator. I’m not sure they are over it.
So striations are super important to glacial geologists because they not only tell you that ice once covered the area, but they can also be used to reconstruct the direction of glacial flow.
Anna Thompson, a graduate student at Iowa State University, is working on one aspect to try to reconstruct the speed of flow in ancient glaciers. While in the forefields of Tsanflueron, I helped her take some field measurements that she will use to understand how ice flows over steps, or steep walled drops in the bedrock.
Finding the perfect steps to measure was not easy because nature rarely cooperates with our ideal parameters. We wandered around looking for steps that were perpendicular (or near to) the direction of flow. To determine this we would need to examine the direction of the striations and determine if they were meeting the edge of the step at a near 90-degree angle.
When ice flows over a step it will be separated from the rock for a short distance before it flows down back to the bedrock. Anna was trying to get measurements from a range of different step sizes to see how the gap between the ice and the rock reflects the speed of the ice.
So how on Earth can she determine how far the front edge of the glacier was “airborne” before it touched back down? There are many indicators of this preserved in the rocks. First of all, where the ice is not in contact with the bedrock, there will not be any striations present. Secondly, Anna can tell where the ice came in contact with the bedrock again through the presence of striations and through the presence of a calcite precipitate on the rocks.
There is always some amount of water flowing underneath the glacier, and when a glacier forms above a limestone base, this water will dissolve some of the minerals in the rocks and deposit them through precipitation elsewhere. This is the same exact process that forms sinkholes and karst topography (i.e. caves) in limestone around the world. This calcite mineral was present all over the glacial forefield and we were able to measure the distance from the edge of the step to the start of the striations and calcite to determine the where the ice came back in contact with the bedrock.
Anna and Dr. Neal Iverson will then use these measurements back in the laboratory to help them with their work determining the flow speed of glaciers in the past.
I have gotten some questions about where in Switzerland we are working. Here are two maps that show you the town we are staying in and the site of the Tsanflueron GlacierA mass of ice that persists for many years and notably deforms and flows under the influence of gravity..
Sometimes it is nice to just sit back with a nice cup of tea and enjoy the view.

The SiccaDania rasper series are designed for starch and protein extraction. The purpose of the unit is to open the cells and release the starch and proteins.
Being the first step in the wet process, the milling performance is crucial. The yield of the rasper determines to a great extent the overall yield of the entire starch operation. Any starch lost in this section is lost forever.
SiccaDania raspers are designed to rupture the cell walls so efficiently that the maximum amount of starch from the root is released. The starch granules are locked in the cells of the root together with other constituents and must be released from the cell compound.
The more thoroughly the cells are destroyed, the better the release of the granules, thus the better the starch yield.
The product obtained after the rasper can be considered a mixture of pulp fibres (cell walls), fruit juice and starch. With this highly efficient and modern rasper, rasping is a one-pass operation.
SiccaDania has developed three unique raspers to provide customers with a rasper for their production.
This dual rotating direction rasper is already known in the market for many decades and has proven to be the most robust machine at present. Its highly durable rotor and bearing system ensure a lifetime of exceeding all other raspers available in the market.
HRD Belt Drive
This version is compact and can be easily fitted into an existing milling location. The V-belt drive is easily accessible and provides a steady headache-free operation.
HRD Direct Drive
The direct-drive version enables easy to access at both cutter blocks. The frequency driven motor has a lower power consumption compared to the V-belt driven version.
In general, the direct-drive machine has better maintainability because all sides of the machine are better accessible. The curved cover plates give better clean-ability and therefore improved hygiene. Next to that, it improves the flow of material inside, improving efficiency and capacity.
The overall design of the rasper is slim and easy to operate and maintain. The rasper has a large rotor diameter, that incorporates the 216 groove profiles for the rasping blades and makes it possible to place a great number of raspering blades in the rotor. This increases the starch extraction and the time between changing the blades.
Benefits of SiccaDania raspers
- Highest starch yield and highest milling efficiency
- Best in class durability
- High-speed rotor
- Superior saw blades clamping design and long saw blade life
- Easy replacement, service & maintenance
- Heavy load resistant
- Full stainless steel | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Royal Tour is underway! The Cambridge family touched down at a military base in Victoria, British Columbia at approximately 4 pm local time to embark on a eight day visit to Canada.
It is the first official royal tour for Princess Charlotte, 16 months, and the second for Prince George, three, who accompanied his parents to Australia and New Zealand in 2014. The family of four were greeted by Governor General David Johnston, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and their wives.
Following the brief welcome at the airport, the royal entourage made their way to Government House where they will be based for the duration of the visit. The young royals will be looked after by their nanny while their parents tour British Columbia and Yukon.
Like the rest of her family, Princess Charlotte was dressed in an all-blue ensemble.
Charlotte's pretty floral print dress is by Spanish brand Luca & Luca based on their 'Penelope' design. The hand-smocked detailing is very similar to the pink dress she wore earlier this year to the Trooping the Colour balcony appearance.
The little Princess had on the Condor Fancy Folded Cuff socks.
We can expect to see the princess and her older brother George on Thursday 29th September when the royal siblings attend a children's party for military families at Government House. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

While the story of the reintegration of professional football in 1946 after World War II is a topic that has been covered, there is a little-known aspect of this integration that has not been fully explored.
After World War II and up until the mid- to late 1960s, professional football teams scheduled numerous preseason games in the South. Once African American players started dotting the rosters of these teams, they had to face Jim Crow conditions. Early on, black players were barred from playing in some cities. Most encountered segregated accommodations when they stayed in the South. And when African Americans in these southern cities came to see their favorite black players perform, they were relegated to segregated seating conditions.
To add to the challenges these African American players and fans endured, professional football gradually started placing franchises in still-segregated cities as early as 1937, culminating with the new AFL placing franchises in Dallas and Houston in 1960. That same year, the NFL followed suit by placing a franchise in Dallas. Now, instead of just visiting a southern city for a day or so to play an exhibition game, African American players that were on the rosters of these southern teams had to live in these still segregated cities. Many of these players, being from the North or West Coast, had never dealt with de jure or even de facto Jim Crow laws.
Early on, if these African American players didn’t “toe the line” or fought back (via contract disputes, interracial relationships, requesting better living accommodations in the South, protesting segregated seating, etc.), they were traded, cut, and even blackballed from the league. Eventually, though, as the civil rights movement gained steam in the 1950s and 1960s, African American players were able to protest the conditions in the South with success. Much of what happened in professional football during this time period coincided with or mirrored events in America and the civil rights movement.

On ticket prices for part-time and home workers
The 90-day consultation on the future of Travelcard pricing for part-time and home workers closes in 24 hours.
The results will be presented to TfL, who will be urged to lay out their plans, this year, for flexible ticketing.
It comes as the Mayor of London has pledged to introduce a package of flexible ticket prices for part time and home workers in 2015.
GLA Conservative London Assembly Member, Roger Evans, is leading the campaign and has authored two reports on the issue.
“We have a once in a generation opportunity to have a say on how our travel tickets are priced in London. We need a range of options to suit part-time workers, home workers, and people who may want to bike or walk to the office for part of the week. Under one of my policy proposals, you could get a £310 refund if you cycle or walk to work one day a week. This is an exciting moment for the Capital. I urge everyone - whether you’re an employee, manager or business owner - to have your say on the future of travel in the next 24 hours. Just visit flexiblecommuting.com”

Defeating blue-green algae: Meet the advanced MegaShark
SUSTAINABILITY – RanMarine’s aqua drones help clean the water by combating plastics and (blue-green) algae, which plague Dutch waters every summer.
Nothing beats a dip in natural swimming water during a hot summer day, right? But every year, the same question arises again: Is the water safe for swimming, or will these awful blue-green algae prevent us from entering the water? With the WasteShark and MegaShark, RanMarine not only removes plastic waste and unwanted algae. “We are now working hard on developing an advanced MegaShark that can target the harmful and annoying blue-green algae as well,” says Richard Hardiman, CEO of the Rotterdam-based company.
In the ongoing battle against water pollution, RanMarine is making waves with its innovative water drone technology. The company is tackling the global issue of water pollution with the WasteShark and the Mega Shark: high-tech devices that glide through the water, collecting pollutants. “You can compare it to an autonomous vacuum cleaner, but instead of vacuuming your lounge, they vacuum the top thirty centimeters of waterways”, explains Hardiman. The drones are equipped with sensors and cameras and can navigate complex waterways.
Natural waters face a big problem nowadays: algal blooms. The consequences of excessive algae range from unattractive appearance and unpleasant odors – bad for tourism and overall well-being – to severe disruptions in aquatic ecosystems by depleting oxygen levels and blocking sunlight, damaging plants, and harming the fish. “The blooms are fueled by excessive nutrient runoff of farmer lands and profit from climate change. As temperatures rise and the population grows, we must feed more people. That means more farming and more fertilizers. I foresee that algae will become a huge problem in the future”, Hardiman explains.

They said. YES, and it was seriously the most exciting thing to happen to me thus far in 2024!
Seeing my stand from a distance, I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. The colours, the setup... everything was just perfect. Let's just say I'll definitely be back!
But this time it will be in Arndale, Manchester and I CAN'T WAIT!
It's super crucial for me and my business to have my products in real stores because I want people to actually see and feel RebelJones products for themselves.
If you know any local shops that you would LOVE to see my products in please let me know via Instagram ♥
Right I am off to email some more shops. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Portuguese Arrival in Malacca: A Catalyst for Maritime Trade and Religious Tensions in 16th Century Southeast Asia
Malacca, a bustling entrepôt nestled on the Malay Peninsula, witnessed a pivotal moment in its history during the 16th century – the arrival of the Portuguese. This event, seemingly a simple nautical landing, served as a catalyst for profound transformations across Southeast Asia, impacting everything from maritime trade routes to religious landscapes and political power dynamics.
Prior to the Portuguese arrival in 1511, Malacca thrived as a cosmopolitan hub, attracting merchants from China, India, Persia, and beyond. Its strategic location along the Straits of Malacca made it a crucial link in international trade networks, facilitating the exchange of spices, textiles, porcelain, and other coveted goods. The Sultanate of Malacca, under its ruling dynasty, maintained a relatively tolerant stance towards different religions and cultures, allowing for the co-existence of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and indigenous belief systems.
However, this delicate balance was disrupted with the arrival of Portuguese explorers under the command of Afonso de Albuquerque. Driven by the ambition to control lucrative spice trade routes and expand the influence of the Portuguese empire, Albuquerque recognized Malacca’s significance and launched a determined siege. The sultanate, despite putting up valiant resistance, ultimately succumbed to the superior firepower of the Portuguese fleet.
The fall of Malacca marked the beginning of Portuguese dominance in the region for over a century. They established a fortified trading post, imposing taxes on passing merchants and diverting trade towards their own colonies in Goa and Lisbon. This shift in power dynamics created ripples across Southeast Asia, triggering anxieties among neighboring kingdoms who feared Portuguese expansionism.
The arrival of the Portuguese also introduced a new religious element into the already diverse landscape of Malacca. As ardent Catholics, they sought to convert the local population, leading to tensions with the established Muslim community. While some embraced Christianity, many Malays resisted the proselytizing efforts, contributing to social and cultural friction.
The consequences of the Portuguese arrival were multifaceted:
Area | Consequences |
Trade | - Shift in trade routes towards Portuguese colonies; - Increased control over spice trade by Europeans; - Decline in Malacca’s prosperity as a neutral trading hub; |
Religion | - Introduction of Catholicism; - Tensions between Christians and Muslims; - Growth of religious syncretism (blending of different faiths) |
Politics | - Weakening of the Malaccan Sultanate; - Rise of rival powers seeking to challenge Portuguese dominance; - Emergence of new alliances and conflicts across Southeast Asia |
Beyond these immediate consequences, the Portuguese arrival set in motion a chain reaction that would shape the future of Southeast Asia. It spurred the rise of other European powers, like the Dutch and British, who eventually supplanted the Portuguese.
Furthermore, the Portuguese presence contributed to the development of new maritime technologies and navigational skills among local populations, paving the way for their own ventures into global trade.
The story of Malacca’s fall to the Portuguese is not simply a tale of conquest. It’s a reminder of the complex interplay of economic ambition, religious zeal, and political power that shaped the course of history in Southeast Asia. While the Portuguese left an undeniable mark on the region, their legacy remains controversial, reflecting both the opportunities and challenges they brought to this vibrant part of the world.
It serves as a powerful example of how a single event, seemingly confined to one location, can ripple outwards, influencing vast geographical areas and impacting generations to come. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
According to Joshua Chaffin, Florida “is now the spiritual heartland of the MAGA movement.” In The Wall Street Journal, Chaffin describes the Florida miracle, writing:
Four years ago, MAGA caravans roared through the streets of South Florida, voters were inundated with campaign mailers, and Donald Trump and his surrogates barnstormed the state in a desperate hunt for an election victory. This time, the presidential contest felt to many Floridians more like a yawn than a fight.
Trump easily captured the state’s 30 electoral votes while fellow Republicans made further inroads. Amped up on wine, triumph and patriotism, his supporters romped through West Palm Beach into the small hours of the night.
There is no mistaking it. Florida has turned not just red, but ruby red. Once a vital swing state, it is now the spiritual heartland of the MAGA movement—a place that rejected Covid restrictions, that celebrates low taxes and welcomes newcomers fleeing blue bastions like New York. Most notable among the latter are the former president and several of his children.
“Florida is the American dream. It’s the new California,” George Antonopoulos, another New York transplant, said on Wednesday morning over breakfast at a West Palm Beach hotel as he basked in the glow of Trump’s victory. He was clad in a Wharton T-shirt—from Trump’s alma mater—and a MAGA cap. While roughly half the nation was plunged into despair, Antonopoulos and other Trump supporters appeared exhausted but elated. The stock market, he noted, had soared by more than a thousand points early Wednesday. Good things were coming.
Nowhere has the Republican conquest been more startling than South Florida’s Miami-Dade County, a longtime Democratic stronghold that is the state’s most populous. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won it with 63% of the vote. Four years later, Joe Biden claimed victory with 53%.
On Tuesday, Trump won it by 11 percentage points over Vice President Kamala Harris, the first time Miami-Dade went for a Republican presidential candidate since 1988. He was powered by Hispanic voters who were in no way repelled by his vow to enact the largest deportation of undocumented immigrants in American history.

The Age has gone through 65 annual reports released this week, finding more than half the health services failed to meet the target number of days’ worth of cash available.
Swan Hill District Hospital had four to five days’ worth of cash available, but there’s no word on the health of Mildura Base Public Hospital’s finances.

Therapy can offer a safe place to think about yourself and your difficulties and explore the way in which these difficulties may be impacting on your life as facilitated by a supportive, authentic and collaborative relationship.
Sometimes people are clear about the nature or origin of their difficulties whilst others are less sure and may instead feel ‘stuck’ or are overwhelmed by difficult feelings or notice familiar but unhelpful patterns in relationships and circumstance.
Often people find that significant life events and transitions such as birth, loss, marriage, career changes, pregnancy and parenthood can generate a wealth of difficult feelings and experiences that can feel unexpected and overwhelming.
People can develop coping strategies to manage difficulties and these may work for some time but are then found to be unhelpful or no longer effective. As problems build, thoughts and feelings can feel increasingly worse and can result in a greater impact on quality of life.
Therapy offers a place to explore important feelings and experiences with someone who is trained neither to judge nor advise you, but to think about, acknowledge and make sense of difficult emotions and experiences. My approach is not prescriptive. I will work alongside you in the way that suits you and your needs.
Some of the difficulties that people find bring them into therapy and that I would work with include: | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Use the BRRRR Method to Create Wealth
The Burrs method is a way to buy, rehab, rent, refinance, and scale single family rental properties without using any of your own money. An example of this method is buying a distressed property for $100,000 using a private lender's money, repairing it with the same private lender's money, and then renting it out to produce cash flow. Next, a cash-out refinance is done with a small local bank, which gives a loan for 80% of the appraised value, or $200,000 in this case. This results in a check for $160,000, which is used to pay off the private lender's $150,000 plus interest. The remaining $10,000 is owed to the bank, but the mortgage is paid by the tenant along with all other expenses. This process can be scaled and repeated to create financial freedom.

What To Know About Under Eye Fillers
Looking for a way to revitalize your eyes and eliminate dark circles and bags? Try under eye fillers!
If you are considering a tear trough treatment in McLean, Virginia here’s what to know about under eye fillers.
Under eye fillers are hyaluronic acid products that are injected into the hollow junction between the lower eyelid and upper cheek, often referred to as a tear trough.
Many women and men seek tear trough fillers in order to reduce under eye hollows, dark circles, bags, and a tired appearance.
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that is naturally-found in skin and joints and has the ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. As such, it is an excellent plumping agent for volume-depleted hollows.
Tear trough treatment is noninvasive and performed in an office setting.
During the procedure, filler is administered as a series of injections to the depressed area under the eyes. In doing so, under eye fillers instantly restore volume, diminish dark shadows, and rejuvenate the eyes.
One of the key benefits of under eye fillers is that results are immediate. Following treatment, patients will look refreshed, more youthful, and well-rested. They may experience mild swelling, which subsides on its own in several days.
Under eye fillers typically last for up to nine months. Longevity can depend on a number of factors including type of filler, number of syringes, degree of hollowing, injector technique and expertise, and patient’s metabolic rate. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Some of you may open a box of decorations to find that over the years, your decorations have gotten dingy, lackluster, or even broken, and in an economy like this, is it really worth it to toss money at something you’ll only have up for one month (at most) a year?
If your answer to that question was “No!” but you’d still like to update your holiday decorations, we’ve got some ideas for you: Make your own holiday decorations. It can be a wonderful family-bonding activity. You can save money around the holidays and create your very own, unique Christmas.
There are many different types of do-it-yourself decorations. We thought we would offer one craft in detail—making Christmas stockings. For this craft, you will need about a half-yard of one color of felt, and a couple of sheets of craft felt in other colors for decoration and embellishment. You will also need craft glue or a hot glue gun, scissors or pinking shears, newspaper for the pattern, some straight pins, and—for the finishing touches—sequins, beads or fabric paint.
First, take your newspaper and draw the stocking pattern on it. You can make a short, fat stocking or a long, narrow one. You could even make a giant stocking, but keep in mind that you will need more felt for that (and people may not go to the trouble of filling it up).
Cut out your pattern.
Now, take your big sheet of felt and fold it in half. This will be the body of the stocking. Pin your pattern to the felt and cut around it with your scissors or pinking shears (we prefer the shears because they’re more decorative). If you’re using a hot glue gun, plug it in now.
With your craft glue or hot glue gun, apply a thin bead just inside the edge of one of the stocking shapes, omitting the top (unless you don’t want any presents.) Carefully align the second stocking shape over the glued one, and press down. If you are using craft glue, place a sheet of cardboard over the stocking and weigh it down with heavy books.
After the glue is dry, you may want to turn the stocking inside out and iron the edges. We like the exposed seams, but you may not.
While you’re waiting for the glue to dry, plan out your decorations. You might decide to go simple, with just a name at the top and stripes on the sock. You might decorate your stocking with an idyllic winter scene, maybe a snow-covered evergreen. You could decorate it with stacks of wrapped presents or a plateful of cookies, or any number of your favorite things. It’s your stocking after all.
From the smaller sheets of felt, cut out the shapes of your decorations. Arrange them on your stocking without glue. Once you’re happy with the placement, start gluing down your felt decorations. From there, you can embellish the stocking further with beads, sequins, glitter, or fabric paint. Make it as wild or as restrained as you want.
Once your embellishments are all dry and set, you will have a wonderful, homemade stocking with a personal flair to it that cannot be matched by store-bought stockings. Get the entire family involved, and you’ll find that you’ve made family keepsakes for years to come.

In March of 2012 North Dakota Democrats saw a huge surge in their fundraising, putting over $151,000 in the bank. That was no doubt thanks to their state convention which featured former President Bill Clinton.
In March of 2014, however, Democrats didn’t do nearly so well raising a much more pedestrian $62,210.89. Coming off an abysmal fundraising report from top-of-the-ticket candidate George Sinner, who is challenging incumbent Congressman Kevin Cramer for the state’s US House seat, it doesn’t look good.
But there are some caveats before we can say this is a thing.
First, here’s a graph showing monthly fundraising numbers for North Dakota Democrats through the end of March pulled from their monthly FEC reports (latest report below).
First, North Dakota Democrats held their state convention about two weeks later in the cycle than they did in 2012. They held their state convention in mid-March last cycle, and the end of March this cycle. This reporting period ended on March 31st, so the later event may have changed the timing on some of the donations.
Second, as I already mentioned, in 2012 Democrats had Bill Clinton headlining their event. A political star like that attracts attention and donations. In 2014 their convention headliner was long-time Minnesota Rep. Colin Peterson who, let face it, doesn’t draw even a fraction of the interest Clinton does.
Third, it’s worth noting that up until now Democrats have been posting very strong fundraising numbers, consistently beating last year’s monthly totals. So far in the 2014 cycle Democrats have raised over $593,000 compared to just over $520,000 in 2014. Even with a big drop off in March, they’re still ahead.
So, really, we won’t know what to make of this drop-off in fundraising until next month’s report. Democrats may have banked a lot more post-convention donations than this report is showing.
But if I had to bet, I’d say Dems will probably start to fall behind their 2012 fundraising pace. Because they didn’t have a Bill Clinton at their state convention. There is only one federal race in North Dakota this year, and Democrats don’t look to be very competitive in it.
In fact, the most competitive race on the statewide ballot this year is going to be the Agriculture Commissioner race, but that isn’t the sort of thing that’s going to draw a lot of cash to the state party.
We’ll see next month, but if Democrat fundraising continues to fall off it could be the first inkling that this isn’t their year. Again. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Christmas spirit even appears to have reached the Romanian Competition Council (the "RCC"), as it recently put forward proposals aimed at increasing competition on the market for snow-removal salt. Among other things, this is expected to result in cleaner, snow-free roads, allowing quicker drop-off of Christmas gifts.
In February 2017, the RCC initiated a sector inquiry into Romanian snow-removal salt relying on preliminary concerns flagged by the authority's constant monitoring of key markets (including the overall salt market).
The objective of the RCC was to set out recommendations and measures aimed at fostering more competition on the market, in the context of existing regulatory barriers potentially restricting competition, possible price discrimination and state aid concerns.
The RCC defined the relevant product market as snow-removal salt.
It also ruled that the geographical market should be delineated at the national level, given the current status quo, although the RCC admitted that a narrower geographical market, consisting of a radius of 0 – 200 km surrounding the exploitation perimeters, could also be defined.
How things stand now
In Romania, there are only three valid exploration licences and nine exploitation licences, the latter all held by one company, which enjoys a de facto monopoly. There is one additional exploitation licence pending approval through a Government Decision for almost eight years.
Exploitation licences are issued for an initial 20-year period and may be successively (and indefinitely) renewed for additional five-year periods, at the request of the licence holder.
Foreign companies that are engaged in mining/exploitation activities in Romania are bound to set up a Romanian-based company that needs to remain operational throughout the entire validity period of the underlying licence.
The RCC's recommendations
Against this background, the RCC came up with several proposals to amend the existing legislation and market practice:
- setting a maximum number of licence renewals that a single company can obtain (or extending the initial duration of the licence, so as to allow the recoupment of investments), followed by public tenders for granting exploitation rights over the relevant perimeter, where several other companies can participate;
- in order to disrupt the current market status quo (de facto monopoly), assessing whether exploitation licences granted to a single company could be limited to 50 % of the overall available capacities;
- removing administrative barriers consisting of the obligation to set up a Romanian-based company;
- amending the current obligation to provide cash collateral deposits, as financial guarantees for the underlying exploitation licences, by adding letters of bank guarantee and insurance policies;
- additionally, the RCC flagged a potential state aid measure resulting from the post-closing environmental obligations of licence holders: while private licence holders need to self-finance these costs, state-owned companies benefit from state support, as costs are paid by the relevant Ministry; the RCC recommended an amendment of this legal provision to bring it in full compliance with state aid requirements;
- the RCC also flagged an instance of price discrimination: the company enjoying a de facto monopoly has apparently had lower prices on exports vs. internal demand; in this context, the RCC recommended that the public authorities in charge of managing public roads organise tenders for snow-removal salt sufficiently in advance, and thus utilise their stocking capacities more efficiently. In the RCC's view, this approach would allow foreign-based suppliers to bid, ultimately bringing down prices.
The preliminary sector inquiry report is available here and the RCC welcomes comments by 27 December 2018.

Bosnia and Herzigovina (BiH) Competition Council introduces new tariffs | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A pregnant woman with suspected COVID-19 was rushed by ambulance to Skåne University Hospital, in Malmo, Sweden, suffering from sudden severe abdominal pain. The doctors noticed that the unborn infant had an abnormally low heart rate, which can be a sign that the baby is not getting enough oxygen.
The doctors performed an emergency caesarean section and delivered the baby within minutes. Blood tests from the baby confirmed it had severely low oxygen, and throat swabs showed that both mother and baby were suffering from COVID.
Using throat swabs from the mother and the newborn, the genome of the virus was sequenced to confirm the possibility that the infant had been infected with COVID while still in the womb.
My colleagues and I – part of a study team at the hospital – found that the viral genome in the mother and the baby was identical. Since the baby had been isolated from the mother directly after the caesarean and had not come in contact with other family members when these tests were done, the findings confirmed that the baby was indeed infected before it was born.
However, a few days later, new genetic sequencing showed that the baby's virus population had changed and contained a mutated version of the virus along with the original virus strain from the mother.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a genetic change of the coronavirus in the unique setting of mother-to-foetus transmission before birth.
Although it is common for viruses to mutate, this mutation (called A107G) happened just five days after the baby was delivered.
The genetic changes may have been stimulated by the baby coming in contact with the external environment outside the mother's womb. However, it was surprising how quickly this single mutation occurred.
The most important findings were the changes we saw in the placenta. The placenta takes blood and nutrients to the foetus and takes away waste and is critical for the growth and wellbeing of the foetus. We found that half the tissue was damaged.
There was widespread inflammation, and we found coronavirus protein on both the mother's and foetus's side of the placenta. We also found coronavirus protein in all areas that were damaged by inflammation.
The mother made a quick recovery from her COVID infection and was discharged four days after delivery, but the baby needed neonatal care since it was born prematurely (week 34 of pregnancy).
The baby developed antibodies against the virus and had no severe symptoms after delivery. It was, therefore, the baby's own immune system that neutralised the virus as we did not find any antibodies in the mother's breast milk.
Rare but needs monitoring
Our study, which has just been published in The British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, is among only a handful of scientific papers that have investigated coronavirus transmission through the placenta.
Previous studies have reported rapid placental failure and abnormal foetal heart rhythm, similar to what we found. But with thousands of pregnant women infected worldwide, mother-to-baby transmission in the womb seems to be a rare complication of COVID during pregnancy.
Scientists think that this is because of the placental barrier that protects the baby in the womb from most infections. Also, the vital receptor needed for coronavirus entry into cells, called an ACE-2 receptor, only exists in low levels in the placenta.
In rare cases, coronavirus can damage the placenta – leading to a lack of oxygen in the unborn child – even if the mother has a mild case of COVID in late pregnancy.
Our findings suggest that perhaps we should rethink how we monitor pregnant women who have COVID, and they should be considered a more important risk group than we do today. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Santa Clara, CA March 13, 2002 Grocery and general merchandise retailer Meijer, Inc. has deployed a real-time locating system (RTLS) at Tipp City, Ohio, distribution center, to gain visibility into the location of every type freight at the center, from steaks to kitty litter to shovels.
Meijer has deployed the RTLS, from solution provider WhereNet, along with WhereNet's yard management software, WhereSoft Yard, which provides a central database through which internal customers or retail store personnel can access the status of freight.
Through active radio-frequency tags mounted on trailers, a local infrastructure of antennas and WhereNet's visibility software, the RTLS system is able to locate every tagged trailer in real time to within 10 feet, eliminating manual searches for misplaced assets. The yard management software provides a single, integrated view that reports the real-time status of assets at the distribution complex.
"For a company founded during the Depression, we are always looking for ways to operate more efficiently so that we can continue to pass along savings to our guests," says Dave Mulder, director of outbound logistics for 68-year-old Meijer. "WhereNet provides an opportunity to do that."
WhereNet says its system frequently can pay for itself in less than a year through fleet reduction, more efficient utilization of labor and a reduction of nonvalued-added tasks. Because the systems lets yard personnel know where all of their trailers are at all times, they can handle the same volume with fewer trailers, while end-user stores can schedule labor for deliveries according to departure information captured by the RTLS at the distribution complex. And managers no longer have to direct workers to locate misplaced assets around the yard.
In addition, the system can let stores know exactly what is coming and the arrival time, which can streamline their receiving process, and security guards can gain greater visibility to suspicious trailer movement and can be alerted through real-time messages sent via the WhereNet system. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
There’s a long article today by Kevin Delaney in the WSJ (sub req’d) about Google’s efforts to woo advertisers into its print and audio ads tests:
There have been some hiccups. Mr. Schmidt said in October that in tests of print-ad sales, “the first iteration didn’t work.” Google executives have given the system a major overhaul since then, giving publications more control than in the initial version and focusing on those that publish frequently, such as daily newspapers. A major initiative Google launched in recent years to sell display ads, such as banners, on partner Web sites hasn’t had a significant impact in that market, according to industry executives. However, Google says sales of such ads are rising, and its display-ad initiative attracted some big advertisers to Google and provided it with a platform for rolling out other types of ads.
Some question how effective Google’s automated online systems will be for selling ads in other media, given that such sales traditionally involve personal relationships and negotiations by advertisers and their agencies. At the same time, some on Madison Avenue fear that Google’s ultimate goal is to get large advertisers to bypass them and plan and buy all types of advertising directly through Google. But Google says the worries are unwarranted. “Five years from now there will be more work done by those agencies,” says Google Advertising Sales Vice President Tim Armstrong, though Mr. Schmidt predicts some types of work ad agencies do could change.
One key to Google’s latest efforts will be its success in wooing small- and medium-size businesses. The company won’t say how many advertisers already buy online ads through its system or break down its advertisers by company size. But it disclosed last year as part of a lawsuit that it had more than 400,000 advertisers who bought online ads using its system.
There are many things to discuss here, but also noteworthy is the discussion of how traditional media impact search volumes:
Some bigger advertisers especially like the idea that Google can help them track the effectiveness of not only ads on the Web but in traditional media. At the meeting for advertisers last month, executives presented Google Trends, a service that allows users to view the relative volume of queries for a given keyword consumers are searching for, such as “Nintendo,” over time. Karen Crow, a director for Google’s ad sales business, said the company was working to help measure consumer response to ads in TV, radio and print. In one test, Google cross-referenced print or TV promotions for a product with activity on the Web. “Every single time they did an offline promotion you could see an immediate impact” on search query volumes, Ms. Crow told the attendees.
If Google is able to successfully create a “holistic” system here that ties together traditional and online media and is able to build metrics around the whole thing, the company will have created something incredibly powerful.
Greg Sterling is the founding principal of Sterling Market Intelligence, a consulting and research firm focused on online consumer and advertiser behavior and the relationship between the Internet and traditional media, with an emphasis on the local marketplace. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
What’s new, pussycat?
It’s been verrry, verrry (Payam has taught me a Middle-Eastern accent) cold lately, relatively speaking. Thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit is VERY cold for us!! I can’t even remember what summer felt like and I know it was really hot. So I illustrated a February banner with the feeling of a being blown away with an arctic wind and some little love-blown valentines thrown in. I know a lot of people are finding my site from all the old valentine printables I used to make. I have some brewing but they will probably show up on Alphamom and not here. Gotta pay the bills and all. But if I get some extra time maybe I’ll pop out some pineapple valentines or minecraft valentines for certain little people in my house and I’ll share them here.
I’ve been antiquing a little lately. A new job has popped up where I’ll be repurposing antiques and shooting tablescapes. It’s a little scary for me and I’m feeling intimidated but I think once I get used to it, it could be really fun. So if anyone wants to hit up Orange Circle with me for some shopping and a coffee date, I should be open to that. Payam went with me last week and we had all kinds of fun.
Payam bought these really old wooden boxes and he’s thinking of repurposing them into either some wall art or maybe even furniture. I am very excited to see what he does with them. But in the meantime, they’ve been great props for shooting on. I felt like I had a little Knotts Berry Farm family portrait studio wall or something.
Lubna has popped up as a model here and there. I can only show the outtakes on this site so if you see something old that you might like, shoot me an email and I can probably sell whatever item it is. These double-handled soup bowls are great latte mugs. They didn’t make the cut for my new job so they’re hanging out in my kitchen but I know I can’t keep everything I find so eventually I’ll have to pass these on. If you like them, let me know!
Isn’t Lubna adorable?!! Did you know she might be engaged soon? I know, it’s crazy. I’m having some trouble wrapping my head around it myself. She’s only seventeen but in her culture pre-arranged marriages are very normal and expected, especially when your teenage daughters are drop-dead gorgeous like she is and prone to mischief. I’m just hoping the guy her family has picked out for her is as wonderful as she is. Of course she can always break off the engagement if she doesn’t like him and she might but she’s pretty excited about the whole prospect. Teenage love and all that. And yes, I have been preaching to the moon and back about how young she is and how she should finish school and have a career etc etc…I’ll keep you posted. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Data protection specialists say that, after two years, business advisory firm Equifax has reached an agreement with U.S. government agencies to pay around $700M USD due to massive data breach happened in the company in 2017.
The agreement involves bodies such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Consumer Protection Bureau, and several states’ attorney generals. As reported, the FTC will release details about the agreement in the upcoming days, as the amount that Equifax will have to pay has not yet been fully defined, as the company can still refuse the final amount of the fine. It is also unknown how many victims of the data breach will receive compensation, as so far it is known that part of the agreement is to create a fund to compensate for the damage to those affected by the incident.
According to data protection specialists, a couple of years ago the company confirmed that a group of unidentified threat actors managed to compromise their security and access their systems; during the incident, the hacking group stole confidential information from around 140 million Equifax customers, mainly companies based in countries such as the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. “I apologize to users and our business customers for the concern and frustration this incident is causing them,” Said Richard F. Smith, president of the company.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the data gap was presented due to an uncorrected vulnerability in outdated software used by company employees; the then CEO of the company was fired for trying to cover up the incident. In addition to the million-dollar damage repair, Equifax undertook to update its computer security policies to prevent similar incidents in the future.
According to the data protection specialists from the International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS), among all the records compromised during this incident stands out the theft of more than 200k payment card numbers, in addition to almost 190k personal identification information documents, which could have been used by malicious hackers to perform illegal activities, such as card fraud or identity theft.

Romanesco cauliflowers are a fantastic variety from Italy, producing stunning yellow green heads of spiral rosettes with an excellent flavour visually that resemble a pine cone. Many Romanesco cauliflowers are spring maturing but this rare one that comes ready in the autumn (Oct-Nov), thus avoiding the need to overwinter it.
Start indoors in a warm, well-lighted area from early March through June for the earliest of crops. Sow seeds ¼" deep in good compost. Keep evenly moist. Seedlings emerge in 5-8 days at 70º F. They do best covered lightly with soil. Alternatively sow directly outside from early April.
Transplant seedlings by at least Mid summer. They grow best at 55º to 65º F. Do not let seedling become more that 5 weeks old because older seedlings do not mature well transplanted.
Set plants 18" apart in rows 24" apart. Transplant seedlings in late June for Oct - Nov head harvest.
Water deeply once a week in dry weather. Cultivate or mulch to control weeds. High fertility and abundant supply of water throughout the growing season are important. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Selma Police Department responds to GWC ambush
Published 2:54 pm Saturday, September 8, 2018
In what was called a response to the ambushing of Selma police officers at the George Washington Carver (GWC) homes earlier this week, Selma Police Department Chief Spencer Collier said that a multiple law enforcement agency saturation detail on Thursday night was a success.
The ambush occurred as a veteran Selma officer was responding to a dispatched call for service.
As the officer entered the rear of the complex in a remote location with limited ingress and egress, his vehicle was fired upon from the rear and was struck multiple times by rounds from a semi-automatic rifle, according to Collier. The gunfire shattered the rear window of the vehicle and penetrated the rear and side of the vehicle with several rounds embedding in the front driver and passenger area.
Collier said the officer was not struck, and multiple officers responded to assist.
Collier said the suspect escaped the area.
“Unfortunately, GWC has become the location of choice to cowardly ambush our officers while responding to false calls. These are not situations in which the offenders engage the officers directly,” Collier said. “Like the cowards and weasels they are, their general modus operandi is to fire upon officers from a hidden position blocks away in the large complex and then flee into an awaiting vehicle or home. They also capitalize on the fact that the sprawling complex is most often filled with innocent children playing outside. Our tactical response generally requires sweeping the very large area on foot.”
Immediately following the foot patrol of GWC Homes, all state and federal officers provided Selma PD with over eight hours of patrol assistance.
The operation established a goal of zero tolerance and multiple felony and misdemeanor arrests were made throughout the night. Most charges were narcotic related, but additional several illegal weapons were seized. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Geography doctoral student in the Faculty of Environment
I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Geography. Originally from Guelph, Ontario, I completed my BES. and MSc at the University of Waterloo. Growing up my parents instilled a love of sports and the outdoors in me. Summers were spent in sports camps, backcountry camping, and spending every long weekend at the cottage, and winters were spent on the local and not-so-local ski hills. Today when I am not focusing on my research you can find me hiking the amazing mountains of BC, rock climbing whenever I can, and above all else, playing Ultimate Frisbee.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO SFU?
My choice was made by two factors. The first was the need to find a lab that suited my research interests. The Spatial Analysis and Modeling Lab led by Prof. Suzana Dragicevic was highly recommended to me and it worked out to be the perfect fit. The second was the location, and I do not think I could have picked a better place than Vancouver.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR RESEARCH OR YOUR PROGRAM TO A FAMILY MEMBER?
My research focuses on expanding the modeling of geospatial systems, where interactions between various environments and individuals can be mapped by their locations on Earth and expanding it into three spatial dimensions and through time. This is being done through applying my novel geosimulation models and techniques to real life systems where they may be able to make impacts on how we represent and view our amazing world.
WHAT ARE YOU PARTICULARLY ENJOYING ABOUT YOUR STUDIES/RESEARCH AT SFU?
For me, it is the students, staff, and faculty that make the wonderful community of the Department of Geography. Grad school can be really stressful but having a good community around you makes things much easier to deal with.
HAVE YOU BEEN THE RECIPIENT OF ANY MAJOR OR DONOR-FUNDED AWARDS? IF SO, PLEASE TELL US WHICH ONES AND A LITTLE ABOUT HOW THE AWARDS HAVE IMPACTED YOUR STUDIES AND/OR RESEARCH.
I have received both the Wayne Goeson Memorial Award and the Canadian Pacific/Teck Resources Award. These are supporting a segment of my thesis research related to multidimensional modeling of the Southern Resident Killer Whales and Chinook Salmon in the Salish Sea.

My daughter is 17 now and is the best kid ever. Without Dr. Mottla’s help we would have never had a complete family. Thank you again.
We look forward to our next big adventure, arriving this August, and that would not have been possible without Dr. Mottla and his wonderful crew!
Dr. Chason understood we were ready to have a baby years ago, so we didn’t want to keep waiting. She was ready to jump right in and help us create our family!
Dr. Chason has been nothing short of outstanding. She listens and provides answers. She works with you and is very encouraging.
My husband and I have always felt comfortable and heard when we meet Dr. Chason. She’s eternally optimistic yet realistic. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In the previous blog entry I posed the question: which is more important, `intent’ or `impact’?
Here’s the answer: it all depends on which stage of the process you’re referring to.
In the assessment of any harassment situation, there are always two basic stages:
Step 1: determining whether `harassment’ took place
Step 2: determining the proper consequences for the harassment
In stage 1, IMPACT is the single most important factor. The focus has to be on whether or not people’s sense of dignity was negatively impacted or whether someone was humiliated or insulted by the source’s actions. If someone was impacted negatively, then the offensive action can probably be classified as `harassment’.
Only in stage 2 does INTENT enter the picture. In this phase, the Source’s intent plays a major role in deciding how the organization should handle the situation.
For example, if those engaging in a string of `gay jokes’ did not intend to offend but, rather, were trying to make the workplace a fun place, they may be treated very differently than if they were telling those jokes specifically to embarrass a bystander who may be gay. In both cases, the end result (= impact) was that someone was offended. However, the intent in both cases was very different and thus the consequences should also be different.

Population boom brings changes to city’s wards
Published 10:40 am Wednesday, January 25, 2012
By NEAL WAGNER / City Editor
Alabaster’s rapid population growth over the past 10 years could bring many changes to the city’s municipal election voting districts.
By law, the city must redraw its seven City Council wards after each census count. According to census figures, Alabaster grew from about 22,000 residents to just over 30,000 residents from 2000-2010, which caused some of the city’s wards to be altered for the upcoming mayoral and City Council election in August.
Alabaster is split into seven voting wards for its municipal elections, and each ward elects a City Council representative.
Everyone in the city will be able to cast a vote in the mayoral election. Both the City Council and mayoral elections will be held Aug. 28.
During a Jan. 24 community meeting at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Ward 4 Councilman Rick Walters said the city’s major growth areas over the past 10 years were along the western and southern parts of Alabaster.
Alabaster Mayor David Frings said major growth areas were along Shelby County 17 and Alabama 119 in the south-central part of the city, as many new neighborhoods were constructed in those areas during the past decade.
“We had to redraw the districts because of the population shifts,” Frings said. “They all changed a lot, because we had to get them all balanced.”
Walters said federal law required the city to split the wards evenly, and said each ward contains about 4,300 or 4,400 residents.
“They are divided up by residents, not by voters,” Walters said. “We are not going to dilute any voting blocs.”
After the City Council voted during its Jan. 17 meeting to approve the new voting wards, the redistricting plan was sent to the U.S. Department of Justice for review. If the Department of Justice approves the plan, the new wards will go into effect for the Aug. 28 elections.
Frings said if the redistricting plan is approved, the city will post copies of the map online, and will place hard copies at several city buildings, including City Hall and the Alabaster Senior Center. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

"To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything is holding you back. You see…a
Batman who laughs… is a Batman who always wins.” – The Batman Who Laughs
Prime 1 Studio is
very proud to present the latest addition to the Ultimate Premium Masterline Series: the jaw-dropping 1:4 Scale UPMDCMT-01 Batman vs Batman Who Laughs from Dark Nights: Metal!
Inspired by the variant cover by
DC artist David Finch of the seventh issue of the mini-series The Batman Who Laughs, the artists at Prime 1 Studio have outdone themselves once again to breathe life into this dynamic and intense fight scene between the Caped Crusader
and the Joker Toxin-infected supervillain of the Dark Multiverse.
This dark and gritty diorama stands over 26 inches tall and features the two Batmans aiming for each other’s
throats; one fights for justice and order as the other fights for chaos and mayhem. The Batman Who Laughs’ slimmer physique is accentuated by a form-fitting leather-like tunic, the belts, buckles, and spikes add a touch of brutality
and emphasize the darker and more twisted nature of the character. His distinctive and unsettling grin stands out prominently against the dark cowl
– promoting a sense of madness and giving off a nightmarish effect, taunting his adversary as the razor-sharp claws slice through space. The Batman, on the receiving end, confronts this manic and utterly disturbing version of himself
with a more composed demeanor. Although lightly wounded, as shown by the few torn places on his armor, the fight is far from over as he charges another punch with all his strength, showcasing his muscular core from every angle. He dons the classic and iconic
black and grey tunic with the yellow utility belt. They both stand atop a base adorned with skulls, bats, and bones flying around, adding to the grim atmosphere of the statue, the longer you look at every little detail, the harder the chill down your spine.
This piece is a must for any Dark Nights and Batman fans and will make for a breathtaking centerpiece in any collection. Pre-order the UPMDCMT-01 Batman
vs. Batman Who Laughs today and bring home the ultimate thundering clash of the Bruce Waynes.

SHUGC Seniors Team Comprising ; Damian Scholes [ Captain ] & Nick Roberts, Nigel Chesters & Barry Ruddick, Paul McGarry & Anthony Cheese, Damian Magill & Allan MacCafferty, Chris Bufton & Darren Lewis, John Bennett & Ben Gilg - Completed a Momentous 4 wins out of 4 by Beating Worcestershire at Oswestry Golf Club on Wednesday 26th.July 2023 and will now go forward to Coventry Finham on the 6th.September to compete in the League Play Off..
It's been a long time coming. The County Senior's opened up their League matches with an away fixture against Warwickshire at Edgbaston Golf Club. The morning matches saw SHUGC take a 5.5 to 0.5 lead into the afternoon exchanges. Even with such a lead it wasn't going to be an easy task, and as expected Warwickshire came back strongly, but two afternoon wins saw SHUGC over the line to a 9.5 to 8.5 win.
Next up came Derbyshire, away at Buxton & High Peak Golf Club. Another great start with a 5.5 to 0.5 lead taken into the afternoon matches. This time there were no mistakes by the SHUGC team with a clean sweep of wins resulting in a resounding 17.5 to 0.5 win.
The scene had now been set to win the West Midlands League but SHUGC had two tough Home games against Staffordshire and Worcestershire. First up was Staffordshire at Bridgnorth Golf Club and with Staffordshire needing to win to keep their League aspirations alive it was not going to be an easy game. The morning matches were close, a bit of a shock to SHUGC who only took a point lead into the afternoon games. However a strong performance saw the team over the line 10.5 to 7.5.
Now only Worcestershire to play at Oswestry Golf Club.
Worcestershire showed their intent by bringing their players up for a practice round the day before the match, so the scene was set. Again SHUGC came out of the blocks quickly winning the morning session 5 to 1. With rain forecast for the afternoon the matches teed off early but it didn't dampen SHUGC's team morale with the team winning all but one of the afternoon games giving a winning margin of 15 to 3. The West Midlands League had been won for the first time in nearly 10 years.
Damian Scholes (Seniors County Captain) said " it has been a great team performance and thanked the County for the support it has shown to the team. But it's not over yet as we have a Midlands Playoff against the winners of the East Midlands League. And next up is the England Golf Union Midlands 6 Man Team Qualifier were we hope to improve on our runners up finish last year"

A down-and-out samurai named Ryudo Konosuke struggles through his hardscrabble life in early 19th-century Japan.
In early 19th-century Japan, a down-and-out samurai named Ryudo Konosuke struggles through his hardscrabble life. His dear departed mother’s last hope was for him to live his life as a splendid warrior, but a cruel curse repels and distorts any metal that gets near him. Will he ever be able to wield a sword, much less live the life of an honorable samurai?
It is said that a samurai’s spirit rests in their sword—and Konosuke can’t even pick one up thanks to a cruel curse that repels anything made of metal that gets near him. Destitute and hopeless, he decides to end it all. But when a beautiful and mysterious woman saves his life and his soul, it is the beginning of Ryudo’s journey into a strange world of magic that exists a step away from his own. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Cinnamon Açai Sweet & Spicy Chicken Tenderloins
Açai and Cinnamon Baked Chicken Tenders with Almond Crust
What is Açai? This is a decreasingly common question related to the fruit of a palm tree native to South America, as it gains popularity as one of the world’s healthiest superfoods. The Açai Palm produces drupes or stone fruit. These tiny, fleshy, thin-skinned berries with pits are actually more closely related to peaches and cherries than any sort of berry. Regardless of the nature of the fruit, you can count on them to add loads of nutrients and unparalleled flavor to any dish.
For some reason, though, açai is seldom found outside of smoothies and fruit, yogurt, or granola bowls. We really can’t comprehend why this would be, aside from the fear of turning sides and entreés purple. While we certainly don’t mind eating the rainbow, we do understand that some folks might want to avoid chicken with a purple hue, so we completed our açai-coated chicken tenders with a crispy almond crust, aiding in the aesthetic and textural appeal of this dish.
Almond Crusted Chicken Tenderloins Flavored with Cinnamon and Açai
- 8 chicken tenderloins
- 1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 3 teaspoon sea salt, divided
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for roasting pan
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon açai powder, divided
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups almond meal
- Mix together your cinnamon, paprika, cayenne, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon açai powder, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
- Separately, mix your honey, mustard, remaining acai powder, nutmeg, and olive oil.
- Sprinkle the chicken tenderloins with the dry mix and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Pull the chicken from the refrigerator and liberally rub the wet mixture on it.
- Crack your eggs and whisk with a few drops of water to create an egg wash.
- Mix your almond meal with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 400℉ and cover a sheet pan with oil.
- Set up an assembly station, with the chicken tenderloins first, then the egg wash, followed by the almond meal, and finally the sheet pan.
- Dip each chicken piece in the egg wash and then coat all sides with the almond meal before placing them on the sheet pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165℉.
These almond-crusted chicken tenderloins with açai and Ceylon cinnamon are such a delightful and healthy entree. They are perfectly complemented by an array of sides, but we really like them overtop a bowl of simple coconut rice, but they would also be great with Persian scorched rice, congee and/or tropical truffle pineapple carpaccio. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Scams and fraud spam emails are on the increase in the Asia Pacific region, according to the latest spam report from Symantec. However, image spam emails are dropping off.
Overall spam emails continue to make up about 65 percent of all email traffic. Scams and fraud spam has risen from 9 percent of overall spam to 13 percent in May.
According to Symantec senior director of anti-abuse engineering, Doug Bowers, “This upward trend is indicative of the continued shift in spammer behaviour to targeted, financially-motivated attacks and the success that they are generating.”
Scams spam accounts for 17 percent of all spam attacks in the Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) region. This compares with a global figure of 9 percent for this type of spam.
“Symantec has observed an increase in fraud and scams globally, particularly in the APJ region. This could be due in part to the prominence of invoice spam in that region. With invoice spam, spammers will create fake invoices associated with ‘legitimate’ companies and try to sell them to generate profits. It’s a trend we’ll continue to monitor to see if it spreads worldwide.”
On the upside though, image spam is on a downward trend, dropping t o 16 percent of overall spam, down from 27 and 37 percent in the months of April and March respectively, and 52 percent when it peaked in January.
Said Bowers, “The drop in image spam this year has been significant. It’s clear that spammers are focusing on other techniques such as using links to hosted images to try and get their messages through. Spammers are always going to follow the money.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
