Technology companies come in all shapes and size, with different areas of expertise and different requirements. However, the need to protect yourself and be fully covered, stays the same whatever it is you and your company does. So, whether you’re in fintech, web design, back-end development or any other area of technology, we can provide you with the cover you need with the ease that you want. Our dedicated insurance for technology companies provides you with cover for contract works, machinery, equipment and any buildings for which you might be responsible for. Although not compulsory, it is a good idea. What’s more, some companies require you to hold things like Professional Indemnity Insurance cover if you want to partner them on a tech project. This is because it provides them with protection from any error or omission you make whilst working with them.

Protecting your property
We can also cover you for things like rent, rates, gross profits, revenue and any increases in your cost of working. It can even provide cover for the hire of an alternative premises.

If you’re considering professional indemnity insurance policy, you should first consider what you need to protect. For starters, think about the work that you carry out and how a customer could suffer a financial loss as a result of any mistake you might make. Next, consider the policy defence limit and whether or not it will cover your individual needs. One final thing to consider is that all professional indemnity insurers insist that you to pay an excess. It is often relatively low but you should definitively factor either way.
Yes you can. We work with some insurers that have their own direct debit facility. That allows you to pay them directly. And for those that don’t, we work with numerous insurance finance providers, which allows you to spread the cost of your insurance over the policy period.
No, we work with nearly all the main insurers in the Irish and UK markets. That gives us access to over 50 leading insurers.

Absorption / Effectiveness Criteria
Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine compound that is found in all living cells. It is a crucial molecule involved in various biological processes and has gained attention for its potential health benefits. Here are some key points about spermidine:
- Role in cellular processes: Spermidine plays a vital role in cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). It is involved in DNA stabilization, gene expression regulation, protein synthesis, and maintaining the structure and stability of cell membranes.
- Antioxidant properties: Spermidine acts as an antioxidant by reducing oxidative stress and combating reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells. It helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and may contribute to the overall health of cells and tissues.
- Autophagy induction: One of the most notable effects of spermidine is its ability to induce autophagy, a cellular process responsible for the removal of damaged proteins and organelles. Autophagy helps maintain cellular homeostasis, promote longevity, and protect against age-related diseases.
- Health benefits: Research suggests that spermidine may have various health benefits. Studies in animals have shown that spermidine supplementation can extend lifespan, improve cardiovascular health, enhance memory and cognitive function, and protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. However, further research is needed to fully understand the effects of spermidine in humans.
- Food sources: Spermidine is naturally present in various foods, including aged cheese, soybeans, mushrooms, whole grains, legumes, green peas, broccoli, and certain fruits like grapefruit and oranges. The concentration of spermidine in foods can vary, and the levels may decrease with food processing and storage.
- Supplementation: Spermidine supplements are available in the market, and some individuals may choose to take them to increase their intake. However, it is important to note that the long-term effects and optimal dosage of spermidine supplementation in humans are still being studied. If considering supplementation, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional.
It’s worth mentioning that while spermidine has shown promise in various research studies, it is still an area of ongoing scientific investigation, and more studies are needed to establish its full range of effects and potential therapeutic applications in humans. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The ever-confusing Heineken (European) Champions Cup is back this weekend for Round 3 of the four rounds of pool games. The competition is split into two pools of 12 teams each, but teams only play two opponents to determine whether they make the knockout rounds. That makes this round crucial for any team with designs on making a run in the cup this season.
Here is a look at some of the games with odds from BetXchange.
Sharks VS Bordeaux Begles – Kings Park, Durban
Sharks are heavy (15.5) point favorites to condemn Bordeaux to their third defeat in the Champions Cup this season. It has been a weird ride for the French side, especially considering they are on a four-match unbeaten run in the Top 14. Their issue has been a lack of dynamic play from their backs – all their tries have come from forwards – something they will have to change to win here. Sharks won the reverse fixture 19-16 in France, and to me, that projects to a big home win against a team that had to travel for 24 hours to get to Durban.
Blue Bulls VS Exeter Chiefs – Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria
The Chiefs beat the Bulls at Sandy Park back in December, and their style of play gives them a shot at taking down the best South Africa has to offer more than most of the Northern Hemisphere sides. They are on a good run, too – they have won six of seven in all comps – while the Bulls finally picked up a win (their first in four matches) against the Dragons last time out. I don’t think they will win straight up – though I can see a way they could – but I like them to cover.
Clermont Auvergne VS Leicester Tigers – Marcel Michelin, Clermont
This is one of those matches that feels like a big-time European Cup clash. The Leicester Tigers beat Clermont at Welford Road last month, but it has been all change for the Tigers since then as Steve Borthwick left his role as head coach to take on the England job. They have lost two in a row – both badly – in the Premiership, and new boss Richard Wigglesworth will be looking for a performance as he makes seven changes from their last domestic outing. The most exciting addition to their team is Handre Pollard, a player that has been out with a knee injury that he picked up on debut. I don’t think Leicester win this, but they could cover the spread.
London Irish VS Stormers – Gtech Community Stadium, London
One of the games tipped to be closeted this round is in Brentford, where London Irish host Stormers. The traveling side will have to be aware of the dangerous Ben Loader on the wing after he made 146 meters and beat nine defenders in Round 2. Stormers don’t lose many matches, and they will be looking to prove that their defeat at the hands of Glasgow last time out was nothing to be concerned about. They get back on the horse and beat Irish in a close-scoring game. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The 2023-24 NSBC SVNS World Series kicked off last weekend with a thrilling event in Dubai. Round 2 of the eight-round series roars into South Africa this weekend, with Cape Town set to host the traveling festival.
It should be a thrilling weekend, with the slimmed-down tournament featuring 12 men’s (down from 16 last year) and 12 women’s teams playing for the cup. The host nation looks to be in fine form on the men’s side, with South Africa having taken the Dubai crown with a 12-7 win over Argentina in the final. The South African women will be looking to bounce back, having finished bottom of Pool A in Dubai, having lost all three of their matches.
South Africa is the obvious favorite to win in Cape Town. Not only are they at home, but in Dubai they showed they are in fine form to open the season. We probably shouldn’t be shocked that South Africa won in Dubai, as this was their fifth title in a row in the city.
The Blitzboks went undefeated in Dubai, winning a pool that saw them drawn alongside Canada, Samoa, and New Zealand. Their 21-19 win over New Zealand in the final pool game was huge, with the two Rugby Championship foes looking like the teams to beat on the circuit this year.
South Africa will again look to the skills of Selvyn Davids to unlock the other teams in their pool. Great Britain should be the biggest issue for the Blitzboks in Pool A, with the USA and Ireland being the other two nations on that side of the draw.
New Zealand will be the biggest threat again in Cape Town. They have a team loaded with talent, as shown by the decisive try scored by Fehi Fineanganofo as he beat two defenders in a phone box to score the bronze medal-winning try as they defeated the always dangerous Fiji.
One worry for the All Blacks Sevens squad is that they played all their games (except one) very close in Dubai. Five of their six matches had a winning margin one way or the other of less than five points, meaning they were always playing with fire, given how unpredictable the bounce of a rugby ball can be. Watch for the team to put in work in the pool stages to win more convincingly as they look to be a team to be reckoned with in Round 2.
Argentina was the surprise package in Dubai. This was the first time they had reached the final, with Marcos Moneta again starring as they came from 14-0 down to escape Samoa in their quarter-final. I don’t love them a 5/1 to win in Cape Town, but there is no doubt they have the speedy players to upset either of the two favorites on their day.
If you wanted to back Fiji at 5/1, I would have no problem with it. The country that has sevens as their lifeblood could easily have made the final in Dubai, and they are always a threat in any tournament. They would be my second pick to win here after the Blitzboks. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Abbas is currently awaiting trial for allegedly stealing $10 million worth of jewelry from Kardashian, now 41, more than five years ago. He explained his lack of remorse during a recent interview with Vice News, which aired on Saturday, August 20.
“I honestly didn’t really know her. I knew her husband, Kanye West, but I didn’t know her,” Abbas said. “But I saw one of her shows where she threw her diamond in the pool in that episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I thought, ‘She’s got a lot of money. This lady doesn’t care at all.’ Since she was throwing money away, I was there to collect it, and that was that.”
While he conceded that there was “no doubt” Kardashian was traumatized after the incident, Abbas asserted that he doesn’t feel any guilt, declaring, “Guilty? No, I don’t care. I don’t care. … [Celebrities] should be a little less showy toward people who can’t afford it. For some people, it’s provocative.”
Abbas is one of 12 men accused of pilfering the reality star’s jewelry while she was in France for fashion week in 2016. During the interview, he recalled how Kardashian’s active social media presence aided the group in planning the robbery, during which the California native was allegedly tied up and put in a bathtub. (Us Weekly has reached out to Kardashian’s rep for comment.)
“We got in through the little door that was open on the inside,” he claimed. “As soon as we got in, we took control of the concierge. We overpowered him. We tied him up. But then we looked for the keys of the bedroom she stayed in. … I stayed downstairs, but my two colleagues went upstairs with the concierge to go to Madame Kardashian’s room.”
The I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian author served 22 months in prison but was released early due to health concerns. “As I already had a record, it was very easy to trace me,” he said, noting that his DNA was likely left at the scene after he apprehended the concierge.
In the wake of the incident, the Skims CEO has been candid about how the robbery made her change some of her social media habits. In October 2018, a source exclusively told Us that the Kardashians star was “still taking precautions” and often “wears minimal to no jewelry” when out and about. “She is always aware of who is around and where she is staying,” the source added. “Her life has changed dramatically. She’s always cautious where she goes.”
Two years later, the makeup mogul got emotional while reflecting on the harrowing experience on Netflix’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman. “I was like, ‘OK, this is the time I’m gonna get raped. Like, deal, this is gonna happen, just prepare yourself,’” she said through tears. “So, I did and then — I don’t know why I’m crying, I’ve talked about this before — and then he tied me up with handcuffs and zip-ties and then duct tape and duct-taped my mouth and my eyes.”
The Selfish author had one thing on her mind during the robbery: her sister Kourtney Kardashian. “I kept on thinking about Kourtney, I kept on thinking, like, ‘She’s gonna come home and I’m gonna be dead in the room and she’s gonna be traumatized for the rest of her life,’” Kim recalled, adding that she was “totally fine” now. “I remember calling all my sisters from the car, we were on a conference call. I’m like, ‘Guys, thank God that was me. I’m very mentally strong and that would have f–ked all of your lives up for the rest of your life.’” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Journal Article in Disability & Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology:
The accessibility of the built environment is an important factor to consider when providing a mobility device to a young child and their family to use in the community.
Aim: To quantify the driving patterns of children using an adapted ride-on car in their home and community environment over the course of a year using an integrated datalogger.
Method: Fourteen children (2.5 ± 1.45 years old, 8 male: 6 female) used adapted ride-on cars outside and inside of their homes over the course of a year. We tracked their device use metrics with a custom datalogger and geospatial data. To measure environmental accessibility, we used the AccessScore from Project Sidewalk, an open-source accessibility mapping initiative, and the Walk Score, a measure of neighborhood pedestrian-friendliness.
Results: More play sessions took place indoors, within the participants’ homes. However, when the adapted ride-on cars were used outside the home, children engaged in longer play sessions, actively drove for a larger portion of the session, and covered greater distances. Most children tended to drive their ROCs in close proximity to their homes. Most notably, we found that children drove more in pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods and when in proximity to accessible paths.
Interpretation: The accessibility of the built environment is paramount when providing any form of mobility device to a child. Providing an accessible place for a child to move, play, and explore is critical in helping a child and family adopt the mobility device into their daily life. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The National Hurricane Center named the first storm of this hurricane season before the season officially begun. Last month, Alberto was declared a storm a few days prior to the commencement of the June 1 season. A very active storm season is highly expected, so it’s important to know about the benefits and importance of hurricane insurance for properties surrounding the gulf and atlantic ocean.
Does my property insurance cover storm-related damages?
Homeowners insurance will provide for some damages from hurricane winds. However, the general deductible for hurricane related damages is different from your average property insurance deductible. Typically, this deductible is in the form of a percentage ranging from 1-5% according to the Insurance Information Institute.
One major impact from a powerful storm is devastating flooding. This type of damage is not typically covered in a property insurance policy. Homeowners need to elect to obtain a flood insurance policy for coverage on this type of damage.
How does flood insurance work?
It’s important to check if you are considering purchasing a property in a storm zone that flood insurance is required by US law (for purchases with a federal backed mortgage). For more information on obtaining flood insurance, see the official FEMA government website here.
Two different types of flood insurance exist – one policy for businesses and one policy for personal property. The different types of policies range for coverage for damages to personal item as well as structural damage. The price varies for flood insurance incredibly in storm targeted areas. A prospective insured can expect anywhere from $575 to more than $40,000. On average, a flood policy will cost $672 per year.
Are any options available for an uninsured whose property is damaged? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

How did Copernicus theory change the world?
In 1514, Copernicus distributed a handwritten book to his friends that set out his view of the universe. In it, he proposed that the center of the universe was not Earth, but that the sun lay near it. In it, Copernicus established that the planets orbited the sun rather than the Earth.
How did Copernicus impact society?
When Copernicus replaced the Earth with the Sun at the center of the universe, it changed the role of astronomy in society. Secondly, space under Ptolemaic and Aristotelian astronomy was understood in terms of relations between different objects and areas, rather than through concrete laws of physics.
What was Copernicus contribution to our concept of the universe?
Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer who proposed a heliocentric system, that the planets orbit around the Sun; that Earth is a planet which, besides orbiting the Sun annually, also turns once daily on its own axis; and that very slow changes in the direction of this axis account for the precession of the equinoxes.
Why was the Copernican revolution important?
The Copernican Revolution gives us an important framework for understanding the Universe. The Universe and everything in it can be understood and predicted using a set of basic physical laws (“rules”). The entire Universe obeys the same physical laws everywhere (and at all times).
Who proved the heliocentric theory?
Galileo discovered evidence to support Copernicus’ heliocentric theory when he observed four moons in orbit around Jupiter.
How did the heliocentric theory impact the world?
Further discovery showed that the sun is only at the center of our solar system, not the center of the universe as the Copernican theory postulated and is merely one of millions of stars. All these discoveries forever changed our understanding of the world we live in.
What is the impact of Copernican revolution?
What is the impact of Copernican revolution? The Copernican Revolution impacted European society because it showed that long-held beliefs could be inaccurate. It promoted curiosity and scientific inquiry. This had the effect of weakening the influence of religious and political institutions.
Why Scientific Revolution is very significant in development of human being?
The Scientific Revolution influenced the development of the Enlightenment values of individualism because it demonstrated the power of the human mind. The power of human beings to discern truth through reasoning influenced the development of the Enlightenment value of rationalism.
Is the heliocentric model a theory?
The theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun is called the heliocentric theory, helio meaning ‘sun’ and centric meaning ‘in the center. ‘ This theory was developed in parts by different astronomers over many years, namely Aristarchus, Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler.
How did copernicus’theory impact society at the time?
The reaction from society at the time was that the heliocentric theory was not even worth talking about. Everyone had evidence to prove that the Earth was the center because if the sun started at one point in the morning and ended at another at night, it was common sense that we were obviously the center.
How did Copernicus get rid of the need for epicycles?
There is a common misconception that the Copernican model did away with the need for epicycles. This is not true, because Copernicus was able to rid himself of the long-held notion that the Earth was the center of the Solar system, but he did not question the assumption of uniform circular motion.
What did Nicolaus Copernicus think about the other heavenly bodies?
He believed all other heavenly bodies moved in complicated patterns around the Earth. Copernicus felt that Ptolomy’s theory was incorrect. Sometime between 1507 and 1515, he first circulated the principles of his heliocentric or Sun-centered astronomy.
What did Copernicus call the center of the Solar System?
In a book called On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies(that was published as Copernicus lay on his deathbed), Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the Solar System. Such a model is called a heliocentric system. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
There’s just something about a kitchen with a pop of colour, don’t you think?! We’re the first to admit we love an all-white kitchen but when we spied this modern farmhouse kitchen featuring gorgeous green cabinetry, we sighed with happiness!
Come along as we chat to Lynda Macdonald from Lynda Macdonald Interior Design who is the talent behind this piece of kitchen perfection.
Related article: Farmhouse meets contemporary style kitchen renovation
Realted article: Country-style interior trends for 2024
A lack of storage and just the need of a refresh is what sparked this modern farmhouse kitchen renovation.
“This kitchen is the heart of the home for my client — a mother with 2 teenage boys,” Lynda explains.
“They wanted to update the kitchen as it was pokey and there wasn’t enough storage. Everything was breaking, so it was time for an update.
“They loved the style we had been doing when they looked us up on Instagram, which at the time focused on modern farmhouse. What I love the most is that she wasn’t afraid to use soft colour to really make an impact in their smaller home.”
The soft green cabinetry is what stole our hearts, but there are so many beautiful elements to make up this modern farmhouse kitchen.
“Our client loves green so we knew we would be able to incorporate it into the design. The kitchen cabinetry is in a 2pak finish in the colour Moorland by Dulux,” smiles Lynda.
“Adding soft colours is always incorporated into our farmhouse design aesthetic.
“We were really left to design the kitchen however we pleased, but we did have a list of requirements in relation to the function. In particular, she wanted more storage and a larger bench space.
“We knew we had to update the flooring to get a better feel in the home overall. It is Hybrid timber flooring titan home oak traditional from Choices Flooring.
“The splashback tiles are a handmade-look tile in matt white 100×100 from Three Balls Red.
“A favourite feature in this space is the large farmhouse sink. It’s gorgeous! It’s the Henley double fluted farmhouse sink from ABI Interiors. We paired it with brushed brass taps and handles, also from ABI Interiors.
“And the piece that I feel really brings the space together are the feature lights. These are the Jessie pendant lights from Ivory and Deane.”
When working with a modern farmhouse aesthetic, Lynda incorporated a roman blind — a feature that often gets overlooked in kitchens, but in this case, seriously brings the vibes.
“The roman blind we placed above the farmhouse sink really makes our heart sing!” says Lynda with a laugh.
“The roman blind is made from Warwick Zora fabric in the colour opal. It was made by A Curtains & Blinds.
No stranger to a beautiful kitchen renovation, we asked Lynda her top tips for designing a beautiful, yet functional kitchen.
“Design with function in mind first and then add in the beautiful design elements. There’s no point having a kitchen that looks great but doesn’t function well,” says Lynda wisely.
“Another tip is incorporate plenty of storage. For example, make the most of those blind corners by adding pull out internal shelves.
“If you’re not having an integrated fridge, leave some space around your existing fridge space to allow for upgrading to a larger one later on. This also leaves space for broom storage for those random spills.
“Don’t forget to add in some feature lighting. Beautiful pendants truly do make a space, but these are just for mood lighting so you’ll also need to incorporate some downlights to make working in your kitchen more functional.
“There are a lot of hidden expenses in kitchen renovations and they can add up really fast! Make sure you’ve got your list of must-haves, and then the nice-to-haves can be added at the end.”
What a stunner! Thank you so much to Lynda for showing us around this beautiful modern farmhouse kitchen. If you would like to see more of Lynda’s projects, visit her website or take a scroll through her Instagram. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Owned Marzotto Group
Mill type Wool
Fabrics Wool, Silk, Mohair
Generations of fine wool, silk & mohair craftsmanship.
From its humble beginnings as a simple draper in 1903, the family-run Tallia di Delfino mill has evolved into producers of some of the world’s finest wool, silk, and mohair fabrics. Working with their parent company, the Marzotto Group, since 2008, Delfino has tapped into advanced resources in research, sustainability and production techniques to bring a premium, ethically-crafted product while retaining their artisanal tradition. Through it all, they’ve taken inspiration from their 150-year-old fabrics archive and within their restored 1920s factory building. This dedication to authentic quality is just one of the reasons this esteemed mill remains a Suitsupply go-to season after season.
The Expertise Behind Delfino
Delfino’s fine luxury fabrics are the result of generational expertise and a respect for the environment that’s been central since its founding. Though situated among pristine, mineral-rich streams whose waters act like natural fabric softeners, Delfino owes its success to more than its location. Generations of respected artisans bring a seasoned eye for detail and a commitment to preserving the art of crafting the fine hand-made fabrics we proudly feature in our collections. Over a century of this ethos has allowed Delfino to become one of the world’s most lauded weavers, prized by the world’s biggest brands and tailors, and a regular among our suits and jackets.
Among Delfino’s celebrated fabrics you’ll find three main standouts—mohair, silk, & Solaro wool blends. Mohair, a fabric made from the hair of the Angora goat, offers a rich, robust woolen structure close to that of cashmere. Both durable and resilient, it is notable for its high luster and sheen.
Delfino’s silk blends are crafted by using fine warp threads and uneven weft threads made from silkworm cocoons, resulting in a smooth, tightly-woven surface that grant a lustrous effect. When blended with wool, cotton, or other fibers, silk adds strength, softness, and a luxurious sheen to the fabric.
Dynamic Color — No other fabric offers the rich iridescent coloration of Solaro.
Their most unique offering, however, is their "Solaro" fabric. At first look, it might appear as a classic light brown fabric, but upon a closer look, shades of tan and brick red start to emerge. While specific shades sometimes vary, Solaro’s traditional look is made by weaving brick red and light olive-green wool yarns together, typically in a herringbone weave. The variation of the warp and the weft yarns create an iridescent effect which captures light and reflects it in different shades.
“ Sustainability is in our DNA ”
Giving Back — Delfino provides surplus energy to surrounding villages.
From reducing their carbon footprint to their use of traceable wool, Delfino has raised the bar on ethical production through modern technology and socially conscious practices. They not only produce their own clean, efficient energy through solar power, but, when a surplus is available, Delfino gives back to the community, expanding its effort to reduce carbon emissions beyond its own operation.
When it comes to traceability, Delfino maintains strict supervision over their selection of raw wool—working with partners who can guarantee fair labor standards and fully traceable raw materials. The result of these efforts is a selection of premium wool and wool blend fabrics that are produced transparently, sustainably, and ethically. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Notions That Must Be Corrected
Translated by Suraqah Abdul Aziz
Third Edition 2018 (2008)
Sunni Publications, Rotterdam
Paperback, 384 pages, 425 grams
Notions That Must Be Corrected is perhaps the most important and renowned work of the late Sayyid, Shaykh Muhammad b. ʿAlawi al-Maliki al-Hasani. Throughout his masterpiece the author offers valuable and wise words of caution against extremism and invites the Muslims to the path of Ahl al-Sunna wal-Jamaʿa, the hallmark of which is tolerance and moderation. Sayyid Muhammad expertly clarifies the correct position relating to numerous controversial contemporary topics whilst maintaining strict adherence to the Qurʾan, the Sunna, and the way of the Salaf.
The book itself has been divided into three parts, the first of which is concerned with areas of research relating to Islamic doctrine, including clarifying the corruption found in the criterion for imputing others with disbelief and misguidance, as well as concepts such as intermediation and intercession. The second section deals with issues relating to the Prophet ﷺ, including his unique characteristics, the reality of Prophecy, the reality of humanity, and the correct understanding of seeking blessings from the Prophet ﷺ and his relics. The final part deals with miscellaneous areas of research including the Isthmus life [barzakh], the legality of visiting the Prophet ﷺ, and other related matters such as relics, sanctuaries, and festive religious occasions.
Scores of Islamic scholars hailing from all parts of the world wrote commendations for this work, while many more have taught from it, or written about it in their articles. The huge positive impact the book made in Islamic circles unfortunately led to hardship for the noble Shaykh in his home country due to misguided verdicts levelled against him. In response to this, leading scholars throughout the world vehemently defended the noble Shaykh and wrote extensive and decisive refutations of his detractors.
“This book should be required reading for the Islamic world, and should be studied and taught to children because of the explicit truth, correct views and defence of Islam's sanctities that it contains. This book clarifies the misguidance, lies, and false claims of the enemy, and certainly, Allah shall aid His righteous servants by aiding His religion.” —Shaykh Hasanayn Muhammad Makhluf | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Arthur Less is the novel’s protagonist. On learning that his ex-boyfriend Freddy is to be married, he hastily arranges a round-the-world trip to ensure he is not at home for either Freddy’s wedding or his own 50th birthday. At the beginning of the story, Less is despondent. He feels like a failure in many respects—romantically, professionally, and individualistically. Throughout the narrative, he comes to terms with his own identity and reevaluates his sense of self-worth.
Less’s history is complicated. After coming to terms with his sexuality as a teen, he spent many years in a relationship with an older man. Robert was respected as a poet in a way Less is never able to achieve; indeed, much of Less’s renown comes from this relationship and his proximity to the Russian River School. When his third novel is poorly received and his fourth novel is rejected by the publisher, Less must reevaluate his identity as a writer. With so much of his life spent in the shadow of a writer more acclaimed than he will ever become, Less questions his own professional capability and how this intersects with his romantic life.
Get access to this full Study Guide and much more!
In his relationship with Robert, Less was the younger of the two men.

Allow CloudPlayer to be moved onto an internal SD card storage
It would be very helpful, given how much space can be taken up by offline music files, to allow CloudPlayer to be moved onto an internal SD card to expand the available storage for it, and to free up on-phone storage for other things that cannot be so easily moved. Right now many other apps allow this but CloudPlayer blocks this capability.
On my phone, my offline music cache takes up over 2/3 of my phone storage alone, and I was dissapointed to get an SD card to help free up some space, only to find that I couldn't move my CloudPlayer over to it, which would have single handedly resolved my storage issues.
Thanks for the consideration.

Going and Coming
Well, we rolled into the driveway from holidays late yesterday afternoon. What? You didn't even know we were gone? This autopost stuff is pretty neat stuff, isn't it? Anyway, we were gone all last week. There was lots of driving, lots of eating, lots of swimming and lots of good family togetherness. We only threatened to put each kid out on the roof rack of the van once during the whole trip. And that's not bad when you consider we spent about 21 or so hours on the road. In a closed in van. With 5 people squashed in amongst 1 hard side suitcase, 3 large duffle bags, 1 small cooler, 5 pillows, 1 overnight bag containing my shoes and other paraphanelia, 1 swim bag containing swimsuits, 4 cameras, 3 MP3 players, and a few books.
So needless to say, today I can hardly get moving. But get moving I must. Tomorrow is back to work which means the house must be clean, which it mostly is. I made myself do it before I left. And boy, does it feel good to come back to a clean house. I just basically need to wash some floors. The laundry, however, is another story. Even though I did every bit before we left, somehow, we managed to make about 4 loads while we were gone. How on earth is that possible? It must have been breeding in the suitcases. And grocery shop. 'Cause for some reason people around here want to eat. And probably so will Kay's friend from out of town who is arriving today for the week. Sheesh. Teenagers. Oh, and banking. Gotta do the banking. To see how much I overspent on this famly togetherness and to see how well we get to eat this week. LOL.
And I must catch up on blogs. Lots and lots of posts! Why must you people write such good stuff while I'm not around to read? :v) And Canadian Idol! I have to watch it all on my computer now. The hotel we were at in B.C. didn't carry the channel, for heaven's sake, so we missed Canadian Idol! A travesty, I tell you. We didn't think too much of it at first, because you see, I was a smart cookie! I set the recorder to catch it all before I left. That is, I didn't think too much of it until hubby said he unplugged everything before we left because of all the thunderstorms we've been getting. Every. Thing. Including said t.v. and PVR recorder. And unless it's plugged in, well, it really doesn't really record all that well. Sigh. No Canadian Idol, no So You Think You Can Dance, no Top Chef to come home to. Quite by chance, though, at the hotel, just before we went to sleep, we happened upon last week's episode of The Mole. Kay and I totally love that show. At least we didn't miss that one. LOL.
Are you getting how scatter-brained I'm feeling. This is my official running record of everything I need to do because if I don't write it down I'll forget something. Oh yeah. I did forget something. Gotta go buy a new battery and charger for my camera because somehow I left it in Calgary at the hotel plugged into the wall. But they can't seem to locate it. Aargh. That is one expense I did not expect, but I can't live without the camera! What is blogging without pictures?
And speaking of which, I'll have some up with some stories from the great trip of 2008, as soon as I start ticking some stuff off the to do list. Starting with coffee. Where's my coffee?! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If the auction somehow exceeds the budget and agreed upon price we will simply find a suitable replacement and begin the bidding process again until we are successful. Our pricing is all inclusive meaning the price you see is the price you pay to get it to the west coast.

When is the Spring UK budget?
The Spring Budget 2020 date has been set for Wednesday 11 March 2020. Although Sajid Javid resigned and was replaced by Rishi Sunak as Chancellor of the Exchequer in February, the Budget will still go ahead on this date.
This announcement comes after ex-Chancellor Sajid Javid’s first Budget, originally set for 6 November 2019, was cancelled due to ongoing Brexit negotiations and the General Election that took place in December.
What is the Budget?
The Budget is a key fiscal event in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer announces the government’s plans for tax and spending for the financial year. This Budget will crucially be the first major financial update after Britain left the EU on 31 January 2020.
What is expected to be included in the 2020 Budget?
It is expected that the Budget will follow the same format as the previous two Budgets, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer delivers the latest tax updates.
In his confirmation of the new Budget date, Mr Javid stated:
“People across the country have told us that they want change. We’ve listened and will now deliver. With this Budget we will unleash Britain’s potential – uniting our great country, opening a new chapter for our economy and ushering in a decade of renewal.”
Based on recent announcements, this Budget looks set to focus on the UK economy for the decade ahead while prioritising the environment, public services and national living costs.
Changes to Minimum Wage
At the end of December 2019, the Government announced a 6.2% rise in the National Living Wage from 1 April 2020 by increasing the hourly rate from £8.21 to £8.72 for those aged over 25. This works out at an increase of £930 per year for a full-time worker on the National Living Wage.
The National Minimum Wage is also increasing on 1 April 2020 as follows:
- A 6.5% increase from £7.70 to £8.20 for 21-24 year olds
- A 4.9% increase from £6.15 to £6.45 for 18-20 year olds
- A 4.6% increase from £4.35 to £4.55 for Under 18s
- A 6.4% increase from £3.90 to £4.15 for Apprentices
The Queen’s Speech in December 2019 also outlined new plans to be unveiled to help first-time buyers onto the property ladder. The briefing notes for the speech states: “The Government will shortly launch a consultation on First Homes. This will provide homes for local people and key workers at a discount of at least 30 per cent – saving them tens of thousands of pounds.”
The Government will also look to renew the Affordable Homes Programme and reform the Shared Ownership scheme to make “buying a share of a home fairer and more transparent”.
This echoes the plans announced by the Housing Secretary, Robert Jenrick, in October 2019 to change the way Shared Ownership works, with the minimum initial stake for buying a home being cut from 25% to 10%. The new plans will allow buyers to purchase their home in just 1% increments, with a reduction on the fees charged.
Mr Javid also hinted at his plans to reform the housing system in an interview with The Times in August 2019 – potentially changing Stamp Duty Land Tax so that the seller pays rather than the homebuyer.
Mr Javid delivered his Spending Round to Parliament in September 2019, which set out departmental spending plans for 2020-2021.
In this review, the then-Chancellor announced an increase of £13.8 billion in spending to deliver on the public’s priorities. The government will provide schools with more money per pupil, along with a boost for the NHS, the social care sector, the police and the Armed Forces.
The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, confirmed £1.8 billion of funding to help improve patient care under the NHS in August 2019.
Recap: Autumn Budget 2018 key points
In the 2018 Autumn Budget, Mr Hammond announced forecasts of ongoing growth that will make for a strong and prosperous post-Brexit UK. He also shed some positive light on the business landscape, driving spend into an entrepreneurial movement that is more fitting for the new technological age.

Charms and Chaos: Portable Exposes Attempted Signings Gone Wrong
Nigerian Musician Caught in Mystical Mishap:
Popular singer Portable (Habeeb Okikiola) found himself in a bizarre situation recently, exposing two aspiring artists who, he claims, attempted to use charms to secure a record deal.
A leaked video shows Portable confronting the duo after suspecting their motives.
He explains that they’d previously approached him asking to be signed, but unable to impress with their talent, he dismissed them.
However, their pursuit took an unusual turn.
Renting for Rituals:
Instead of accepting rejection, the pair, according to Portable, rented an apartment near his workshop and allegedly used the space for “charm-crafting.”
He recounted their return, brandishing charms, with one scratching his hand and the other threatening him with further harm if he didn’t sign them.
Faith Over Fear:
Undeterred, Portable remained firm, declaring his faith in God as his only source of fear.
He publicly denounced the duo, sharing their identities in the viral video.
Online, fans expressed concern and mixed opinions.
Some, like @Jerry1Shima, felt Portable craved constant attention, while others like @TVMag_NG worried about the desperation driving such actions.
Regional nuances were highlighted by @facingrealiti, suggesting cultural context might be crucial to understanding the situation.
@Homiebishop expressed concerns about the “trouble” that seems to follow Portable around.
This incident raises questions about the lengths some may go to in the pursuit of success, and the blurred lines between ambition and unethical practices.
While Portable’s claims lack concrete evidence, they offer a glimpse into the sometimes unsettling underbelly of the music industry.

Fake news is one of the main tools of information warfare. Hundreds of companies face this problem in the age of the Internet, and each solves the problem in different ways. Investment Company Euroinvest faced an information attack in 2019. Andrei Berezin, chairman of the board of Euroinvest, found a way to legitimately resolve the issue.
Employees of the company first discovered articles about a fictitious criminal case and searches on the web in February 2019. The materials were published on dubious sites without authorship and information about the owners of the resources was missing. This is a typical information attack. In the age of the Internet and “trolling” many enterprises and businessmen who have managed to achieve certain successes in their field and form some publicity find themselves in this situation.
There are some options for action in this situation: from ignoring (which is doubtful) to return punches. However, in the case of Andrei Berezin and Euroinvest, one can see that the best solution to this matter would be a response within the legal framework: an appeal to the appropriate authorities.
After the appearance of fake messages on the network, the chairman of the board of Euroinvest Andrey Berezin appealed to the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg with a claim to recognize the information contained in the articles untrue. The court fully satisfied the claim – see this attached document.
The court’s decision that has entered into force makes it possible to legally remove fake materials from the information field.
The mechanism of its work is as follows: evidence of false information about a person (company) and links to fake articles are sent to the two main search engines used in Russia, Yandex and Google. To do this, they have special request forms. If there are sufficient grounds within 10 working days, the search engines will remove the articles from the search results, and will notify you by mail. Done: the “troll” is neutralized, and you are not involved in the information war.
As noted by the legal department of IC Euroinvest: “Such situations, unfortunately, are common, and our company has seen from our own experience that the optimal solution is within the legal framework. “We don’t know what guides people who produce defamatory materials, but fortunately in our country there are legal tools to neutralize the harm to business reputation caused by trolling.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Microsoft Forms and PII (Personally Identifiable Information)
Is a survey developed in Microsoft Forms able to be configured such that a small amount of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) can be securely stored on a Teams folder in Sharepoint, with only the relevant team members able to access responses data?
dylananderson with the form itself you need to be careful about the information you are asking for as the form might come up against Microsoft's confidentiality algorithm that checks if your questions are asking for personal or confidential information (password, bank account details etc). But if it gets through that then a flow in Power Automate can save some or all of the information into a list in a Team, but not currently to a private channel.

I've been encountering a challenging issue with implementing a Conditional Access (CA) policy to block downloads on unmanaged devices and could really use some insights.
Here's the situation:
Objective: Block downloads for unmanaged devices using Conditional Access.
Setup: I've replicated the policy setup across two tenants, ensuring that licenses and CA policies are identical.
In one tenant, the policy works flawlessly.
In the other tenant, users experience a timeout on the "Access to Microsoft SharePoint Online is monitored" screen. After this timeout, they are given the option to bypass Defender for Cloud Apps, which is not the desired outcome.
I've tried the following troubleshooting steps:
Removed all conditions to isolate the issue—no success.
Ensured that the test user has no roles associated.
Despite these efforts, I’m still unable to get the policy to work correctly in the problematic tenant. The timeout and bypass options are a major concern, as they defeat the purpose of the policy.
Has anyone encountered this issue before, or does anyone have suggestions for resolving this?
So I figured it out for the most part, I had to go Defender>Connected Apps>Conditional Access App Control apps and then edit the Office Portal - General and click a checkbox that says use with Session Controls.
But now if I leave the User monitoring banner up it still times out. Any thoughts? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Gardening is more than just a hobby; it’s a journey of growth, patience, and nurturing. Every gardener understands the joy of watching a tiny seed sprout or a delicate cutting transform into a thriving plant. To make this process successful, the foundation is key, and nothing supports new growth like quality seed and cutting compost. At fif fit garden, we understand how critical the right compost is for giving seeds and cuttings the best possible start. This specialized medium ensures your plants flourish, offering a promise of vibrant gardens and lush greenery.
What Is Seed and Cutting Compost?
Seed and cutting compost is a specially formulated mix designed to cater to the delicate needs of seedlings and cuttings. Unlike general-purpose compost, this type contains fewer nutrients to prevent young roots from burning while maintaining excellent drainage and aeration. It’s a gentle yet effective support system, nurturing fragile roots while allowing them to grow without stress. For seeds, it provides an ideal environment for germination. For cuttings, it fosters the formation of strong roots, making it an essential ingredient for every gardener’s toolkit.
Why Does Your Garden Need It?
Imagine sowing seeds or planting cuttings in ordinary soil, only to find them struggling to survive. Without the right compost, the soil may be too heavy, waterlogged, or lacking in structure, stunting growth. Seed and cutting compost eliminates these worries, offering a finely tuned balance that promotes healthy root development. Its light texture ensures young roots don’t have to fight through compacted soil, while its superior drainage prevents waterlogging, reducing the risk of root rot. If you’re striving for a lush and thriving garden, this compost becomes the lifeline for tender plants.
Supporting Emotional Connections Through Gardening
Gardening isn’t just about growing plants; it’s about growing connections—with nature, with loved ones, and with ourselves. Using seed and cutting compost can be a deeply emotional experience. Imagine planting a seed with your child, explaining how this tiny speck holds the potential for beauty and life. Watching it grow becomes a shared memory, one nurtured by love and care. The act of propagating cuttings from a cherished plant holds its own sentimental value, allowing a legacy to live on. Each sprout is a symbol of hope and perseverance, nurtured by the care we provide.
The Role of Compost in Sustainability
In an era where environmental concerns are at the forefront, the choice of compost reflects a gardener’s commitment to sustainability. Seed and cutting compost is often created with eco-friendly materials, aligning with practices that reduce waste and promote organic gardening. By opting for this compost, you’re not just cultivating plants—you’re fostering a relationship with the earth itself. Every sprout grown in this compost becomes a statement of care for the planet, reminding us that even small actions, like choosing the right compost, can contribute to a larger, greener future.
How Seed and Cutting Compost Enhances Your Garden’s Success
The results of using seed and cutting compost are undeniable. Seeds germinate faster and healthier, developing robust stems and leaves that stand strong against environmental challenges. Cuttings root more reliably, reducing the heartbreak of failed propagation. The compost’s gentle nature provides young plants with the ideal conditions to grow into resilient specimens. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a beginner, the confidence that comes with seeing your plants thrive is unparalleled. With this compost, success becomes not just a possibility but a guarantee.
Conclusion:Cultivating Dreams, One Seed at a Time
As gardeners, we hold the incredible power to transform tiny seeds into magnificent landscapes. Seed and cutting compost is the unsung hero of this process, quietly supporting life at its most delicate stages. It reminds us that every garden, no matter how grand or modest, starts with a single seed or cutting. Each one holds the promise of beauty, growth, and renewal. By choosing the right compost, you’re not just planting seeds—you’re planting dreams, nurturing them into reality, and creating a legacy of love and care for future generations.In every handful of seed and cutting compost lies the potential to create something extraordinary. Let this be the season where your garden blossoms like never before, each sprout a testament to the magic of nurturing beginnings. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Paoli-based Turn5, an ecommerce company selling after-market parts to modded car fans, just opened a new customer service hub in Pottstown.
The new 15,000-square-feet office houses a team of 38 that had been cramped together nearby in a facility about a third of the size. The new hub, just a few miles away, is the refurbished former home of a Save-A-Lot supermarket, with a capacity of about 80 employees.
“The old facility was adequate for about 20 people max,” said Mike Cunningham, Turn5’s creative director, in an email. The 38 employees have moved over to the new facility with way better amenities.”
Cunningham said the company anticipates more hiring at the new center, which acts as an extension of its main customer service hub in Malvern.
“As we continue to offer our customers a service experience that fits their unique needs, we need an appropriate space to accommodate our growing customer service team,” said Steve Voudouris, CEO and founding partner of Turn5. “We’re excited about the new operation and are committed to seeing the local Pottstown community thrive.”
Last fall, the company also cut the ribbon at a massive fulfillment center in Lenexa, Ks., its largest hub to date at 365,000 square feet.

The Alluvian King is the second major boss fight you have to tackle in Scars Above, and while it's not one of the hardest in the game, it's certainly one that could trip up first-time players if they're not sure what to expect. That's why we've whipped up this Scars Above Alluvian King Boss Guide to teach you all the starts you need to know to take this guy down before you completely run out of patience for his shenanigans.
Scars Above Alluvian King Boss Guide
Another day, another boss for you to keep fighting. This is actually one of the easier bosses in the game, which is probably a good thing considering it’s your second real boss so far. The issue here is that this thing is cheaper than Moneybags, so it could be quite frustrating. Luckily, the tower is right outside of the boss fight, so you won’t have long to go to try again, and it's only really the final phase of this three that becomes an exercise in hair-pulling frustration.
While the boss technically has several stages, he only has a handful of attacks, and they mostly suck, frankly. The boss will slam its arm down on you, then slam it down again, which is super easy to dodge thanks to the long wind up. Another attack sees the boss swing its arm around, which can also be easily dodged by dodging into the swing, and that’s pretty much it. If you count staring at you gormlessly for 5 seconds as an attack, there’s also that one, but that's not so much an attack as a manifested death wish.
After you take him down to two-thirds health, he'll puke blood eels into one-half of the arena. Just move to the other half for now, but you can probably guess what's coming. After he has lost two-thirds of his health, he'll puke more blood eels into the arena, giving you almost no safe space to attack back, which is the only time the fight starts to even feel challenging. Unfortunately, there's no cheese for this, and you just have to swap quickly from your fire/electric guns as needed to do damage, then quickly back to your freeze gun to give yourself somewhere to stand.
The Actual Strat
Aim for the obvious glowing weak spots. You should be able to take these down with one fire shot each, and once you’ve got enough of them done, the boss will reveal his real weak spot, the blue brain thing hanging in its mouth. When this drops down, you’ll have a very limited amount of time to hit it, mostly because if you shoot it twice with electricity, it’ll take a huge chunk off the boss's health, and we’re talking huge here. Just focus on dodging his easy swipes and doing damage until the last phase.
During the last phase, mostly keep your ice gun out, as you'll constantly need it for dodging attacks since there's nowhere safe to stand. You'll then have to quickly switch to your fire gun when you have an opening, which is a bit of a challenging task. Honestly, you're probably going to have to eat some damage from the worms, but as long as he goes down before you do, it still counts as a victory, so make sure you open up on that blue brain as much as you can.
Once this MFer goes down, run around the arena collecting some ammo and resources, you can also find one of those XP cubes in the arena too. Make sure to scan your victim's body to unlock a very useful new gadget.
Thanks for reading our Scars Above Alluvian King Boss Guide. If you're enjoying the game, you might want to check out some of our other guides too: | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
An enormous content update for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS will be coming Friday, July 31. The content update will add new costumes, stages, game types, and more! Nintendo revealed the news via a series of tweets from the Japanese twitter account for Super Smash Bros. These tweets (in Japanese) can be found here: twitter.com/SmashBrosJP
The first tweet reveled that on the morning of Friday, July 31, the update will happen. In addition, to Tourney Mode for Wii U and Replay Uploading, new premium DLC will also be distributed.
In the second tweet, they spoke about Tourney Mode, where players compete to win points over a period of time. Players will be able to create their own tourneys and make the rules as they like. The Smash team will also be holding tournaments for players to compete for the #1 spot. Tourney Mode will be available for free.
The third tweet revealed the new Mii costume "Smash Hoodie", which will be wearable by all three types of Mii fighters. The costume can be seen below sporting a zip-up, Smash logo, fiery sleeve, and gray pants.
Next reveled were two throwback stages, Peach's Castle 64 and Hyrule Castle 64, would both be available. They can be purchased for250 yen ($2) on one console, or can be bought for both consoles at 350 yen ($3).
After this, the Smash Twitter account revealed two new (and perhaps heartbreakingly disappointing) Mii fighter costumes. The first Tweet reveled a new Chrom costume for the Mii Swordsman. Chrom had been a highly requested character before the game even released, and seeing him now may bring fans the chance to play as Chrom they were hoping for, or just more deep sighing. Accompanying the picture read: "Unsheathe your Falchion and show Marth who the real Hero King is!"
Following this, the account revealed a King K. Rool costume for the Mii Brawler. One of the highest requested characters on the Smash Ballot, seeing a Mii costume in place of a proper place on the roster may be disheartening to some, but there may still be hope as Meta Knight also received a Mii costume (well his mask is a clothing item anyway), though he already existed on the roster, and Nintendo wasn't trying to sell him as DLC. So there wasn't any conflict in potential sales like there might be with trying to sell a new character as DLC. Both the King K. Rool and Chrom costumes will be available July 31.
The final Tweet announced there would be even more costumes to be distributed (maybe we'll get a Wolf Gunner?) that what we saw today, and to check back tomorrow,. So who knows what else we'll see?
Are you excited for the new Mii costumes? Are you hoping for the big K and Chrom to make the Smash ballot? What characters or costumes do you want to see in future Smash updates? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The holidays present a feast of opportunities to warm spirits, please palates and boost profits. ‘Tis the season when food and beverage brands step up to the plate with a festive marketing mix to maximize the moment.
There’s a lot at stake, especially during the months of November and December when the industry takes comfort and joy in the feeding frenzy of consumer spending. In 2022, Thanksgiving served up more than $2.8 billion in sales to U.S. food retailers — and Christmas added even more jingle than that to the coffers.1
As a result, promotions that bring glad tidings to shoppers early in the season provide a needed nudge to jump-start the holiday shopping spirit. Bear in mind that last year 50% of holiday shopping began in October or earlier, and another 40% began their shopping in November, with the rest starting in December.1
“The earlier brands publicize holiday-themed campaigns and limited-time offers on social and other channels, the greater the likelihood that consumers will choose them before the marketing rush reaches critical mass,” explained Meghan Flynn, director of public relations for The Food Group. “Also, getting a jump on the season helps shoppers remember your brand in the blur of offers at the height of the holidays. It’s just good for recall.”
Deck the Digital Halls2
Talk Turkey on Social
Brands with engagement strategies that leverage social media and influencer collaborations are sure to amplify reach.
“Sharing recipes, cooking tips and holiday meal how-to videos all feed into the festive spirit of the season,” said Hays Formella, social media director at The Food Group. “Partnerships with influencers to showcase holiday cooking or entertaining ideas and encourage user-generated content can increase engagement exponentially.” (For insights into influencer marketing, refer to our post “How to Maximize Influencers for Food and Beverage Brands.”)
Coca-Cola promoted its “Create Real Magic” holiday campaign heavily on social media, where followers were invited to use an AI-powered platform to create personalized digital greeting cards featuring brand imagery. The holiday activation built on the success of the launch, and fans generated more than 120,000 pieces of original artwork with Coca-Cola brand assets.
Last year, to help raise donations to Feeding America, The Food Group launched its Holiday Sweater Generator, which enabled users to create their own holiday sweaters out of their favorite foods with an interactive AI platform. For every sweater created, TFG donated 10 meals to the nonprofit. The campaign resulted in 1,687 sweaters shared, 16,870 meals donated and coverage in Ad Age, Nosh, MarTech and other media outlets.
Unwrap Palate-Pleasing Promotions
The holiday hunger for limited-time offers makes them a reliable revenue-driver. Datassential reports that winter is the season consumers associate most with special flavors, dishes, beverages and LTOs.3
Yet in winter 2023, only 21% of all launches consisted of LTOs, new items and returning items.3
Sixty-two percent of consumers are interested in purchasing limited-edition retail items or restaurant LTOs during the winter.3 As a result, there’s ample opportunity to promote products with fresh takes on seasonal flavor profiles like maple, pumpkin and peppermint.
Consumers are most interested in limited-edition restaurant or retail specials for the Christmas holiday — 68% overall, of which Gen X is the highest at 72%.3 It’s important to note that 68% of consumers are likely to prepare food and beverages at home for Christmas.3 With budgets stretched by holiday spending, bundling heat-and-eat meal items can satisfy consumers’ appetite for saving time and money. Promoted in store and across marketing channels, the annual meal deal from Cracker Barrel feeds a need for value, variety and convenience.
In the end, the right mix of promotional products and marketing merrymaking makes the holidays happier — and more profitable.
During the holidays and every day, The Food Group is here to serve up solutions customized to meet your marketing needs. Reach out anytime to learn about all we bring to the table.

Jung In Sun is about to transform into a sloppy drunk in TV Chosun’s upcoming drama “DNA Lover”!
“DNA Lover” is a new romantic comedy starring Jung In Sun as Han So Jin, a genetic researcher who has been through countless failed relationships. As she searches for her destined partner through genes, she winds up becoming entangled with sensitive obstetrician Shim Yeon Woo (played by Super Junior’s Choi Siwon).
In newly released stills from the upcoming drama, Han So Jin causes a scene after having way too many drinks. Intoxicated and barely able to keep her eyes open, Han So Jin begins rambling loudly with a drink and empty bottle in her hand, raising the question of what could have made her upset enough to get this drunk.
Later, a wobbly Han So Jin sets out to go somewhere, only to wind up passing out in the hallway of a building.
Describing her approach to her role, Jung In Sun shared, “I really wanted to try portraying [this character] in a way that’s more extreme than what I’ve done up until now. First, I wanted to make a transformation in terms of my appearance, so I cut my long hair and added curls and baby hairs. In order to depict [Han So Jin’s] bubbly and lively energy, I chose makeup colors that were different from the tones I’ve typically used in the past, and style-wise, I expressed the character’s passion through bold patterns in primary colors.”
“After creating her look, I gained more courage to portray Han So Jin’s daring actions and her passion in searching for love,” continued the actress.
Meanwhile, the drama’s production team praised Jung In Sun’s performance by declaring, “We’re confident that Jung In Sun, who impressed everyone on set with her unique energy and determination, will make viewers fall deeply for the charms of Han So Jin in ‘DNA Lover.’”
“DNA Lover” will premiere on August 17 at 9:10 p.m. KST. Check out a teaser for the drama here!

The web-based DTA tool is a central component of the Virtual Linguistics Lab developed in the Virtual Center for Language Acquisition.
Purpose of the DTA
The DTA tool provides an infrastructure for creation of research data from primary sources, and for data management and sharing across distributed sources. Thus it provides a foundation for scientifically sound and replicable collaborative research. At the same time it provides material for students on the basis of which they can learn the principles of data collection, management, analyses and collaboration.
What is the DTA tool?
The tool structures the creation of research data through a series of stages, starting with description of essential properties of the experiment or corpus collection guiding the research, then the initial metadata describing subject or speaker being studied, and the session recorded on audio or video media. A series of fields then leads the user through systematic transcription of individual language utterances and their context, followed by a series of codings that form the basis for data analysis. It allows open-ended querying on the calibrated data entries.
The Cornell University Virtual Linguistics Laboratory’s Data Transcription and Analysis Tool (DTA) uses a sophisticated relational data model designed for structuring, organizing, manipulating and analyzing linguistic data; it has been executed by Gorges of Ithaca.
At the same time, the DTA tool provides a simple, user-friendly tool with a graphical user interface for standardizing and structuring the procedures involved in collecting, storing, transcribing, coding, and analyzing language patterns. It is designed to be applicable cross-linguistically.
The DTA tool is based on a conceptual and theoretical framework deriving from linguistics and psychology allowing a rigorous study of language in a highly precise and scientific manner. However, for initial stages of data entry, the DTA presupposes only a minimum amount of background knowledge of linguistics and the language sciences.
The DTA tool (in conjunction with the VCLA VLL Research Methods Manual) standardizes procedures related to linguistic data coding. Thus the DTA tool facilitates-for the researcher or student-calibration of data across different languages, different data collection situations, and different sessions, as well as across different researchers. It insures replicability and reliability of data collection and data analysis methods.
At present the DTA tool houses cross linguistic language data, e.g.,., child, adult bilingual and adult dementia language in various forms.
Use of the DTA
The DTA tool is password-protected. Anyone who wishes to access DTA data or use the tool for his or her own project should contact Professors Maria Blume or Barbara Lust to request access and use. If your request for access is granted, you will receive an email with instructions on how to set up your account and where to go in order to access the DTA‘s web interface.
Once you have access, you will be able to use the DTA tool for both active and completed projects. You can input data to the tool for preservation. You can access data in specific languages. You can also collaborate with other DTA users on joint projects; all collaborators with access to the DTA and the particular project in question can add and modify data and metadata from anywhere in the world using the Web. The DTA supports multilingual projects, and the tool facilitates analysis across multiple languages.
Users are expected not only to access relevant data, but to share use of data, e.g., to record analyses performed on accessed data.
To learn more about using the DTA tool, please consult the DTA tool manual, which will be made available on access. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Even though Toy Fair New York hasn’t officially started until this weekend it didn’t stop starwars.com in giving us our first look into some of what will be revealed this weekend. And from the look of things the big focus looks like it will be around The Mandalorian and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
LEGO Star Wars sets
We have asked for it and now we got it. You can now protect The Child in your own Star Wars LEGO Razor Crest. This set will come with the Mandalorian, The Child, IG-11, Scout Trooper, and Greef Karga minifigures. The Razor Crest is available now for pre-order at lego.com.
If that set isn’t enough for you then don’t worry the LEGO Star Wars BrickHeadz line is giving us the Mandalorian and Child set. In this set you will be able to create a hover-pram for the Child and adjust his ears for different looks. This set is also available to pre-order as well
The Child AKA Baby Yoda
Ok I know most of you are saying lets get to the important Star Wars stuff, The Child Merchandise. Well, this year it looks like we will have no shortage of it. From dolls, games, and toys there will be plenty of Baby Yoda for everyone.
To start things off Hasbro will be releasing a animatronic version of the Child. This doll will be a small version of the Child and will coo and make adorable ear movements. You can also invite you plush Baby Yoda to game night with The Mandalorian Operation game. Now don’t worry the Child isn’t sick. Instead of removing a broken bone from him, you will be removing items from around him.
New Hasbro figures
Hasbro has also announced a whole new line of figures called Star Wars Mission Fleet. You will be able to chose the Mandalorian and the Child, Anakin and his Jedi Starfighter, Ahsoka’s Aquatic Attack, or Rex’s Clone Combat.
The Star Wars fun does not stop there
Star Wars has a lot more of the Child and The Clones Wars items heading our way. There will be the Child trading cards, clothing , and even a mini Bluetooth speaker. Also announced is a Ahsoka Tano standee, The Clone wars and the Child shirts and even the Child outfit for your actual child. So who knows what else we will see this weekend but it looks like it will be a good year for Star Wars fans. You can jump over to the official Star Wars announcement of all these items and more by clicking here.
We want to hear from you.
So what do you think about these new Star Wars items heading our way? Are you excited about all the Baby Yoda stuff hitting the shelves? What else are you hoping to see announced at Toy Fair New York this weekend?

Instagram has released a new amazing feature, “Collaborative collection,” which lets users save posts in a shared space with friends & family.
However, Instagram executed the Collections Feature in 2017, allowing users to organize and save posts into categories. But this new feature allows you to choose members of a closed group to collaborate and add their own posts to that collection.
In a Tweet, Instagram states that you can now save content into “collaborative collections” that both your friends and you can see and contribute to. As per the Instagram CEO, “users can also save posts from Instagram’s feed, DM’s and even Explore page.
You can easily use this feature by just hitting the Bookmark icon in the bottom right of the post that you wish to save, then choose the option to generate a new collaborative collection, name it and then toggle on the option that states “Allow Friends to join this collection.” You can include up to 250 people in your collection.
Moreover, users can also make a collaborative collection from within a chat as well. Once that’s done, any person within the chat can add or delete images from the shared collection, making it seem like a cool way to present ideas to friends.
Although it’s significant if you add a post from a private account to a collaborative collection, only the users following the account will be able to see the post. And if a person or owner of the post decides to remove a post you have already put in your collection, Instagram will delete it. Also, you can’t make a collaborative collection private once it’s created, nor can you share private collections that you’ve already created with others.
Hence, it is a great feature, so users can directly add or remove posts to a collaborative collection using the bookmark icon. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

We mentioned the 9ff GT9-R in our Car of the Year nominees, but we’ve been too busy to get around to posting an article about it. But here it is.
The car is based around the 9ff GT9, which is loosely based around the Porsche 911 and already insanely quick with its 973hp and 409kph (About 254mph) top speed. Those crazy Germans thought that was a bit slow though. So they went back to the drawing board, and came up with the GT9-R.
So then, what are the figures for this? How does 1120hp and a claimed top speed of 414kph (Around 257mph) sound? That claimed top speed is enough to outrun the current production speed record holder, the Shelby Supercars Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo, which holds a record of 412kph (Roughly 256mph).
As for acceleration, 0-100kph (62mph) is dealt with in 2.9 seconds and 300kph (186mph) is hit in 15.8 seconds.
The engine putting out that massive power is a 4.0L six-cylinder boxer engine.
There’s not much mention of what they’ve done to give it good handling, but they will custom tailor the aerodynamics to the customers needs. You can get your aerodynamics modified for top speed or for track performance.
Expect the price tag to be very steep, but if you’re feeling a bit poor, there are some cheaper versions, a 750hp version and a 987hp version. The 750hp version is optimized for handling. It gets a top speed of 380kph and will hit 300kph in 20 seconds. The 987hp version will go on to 409kph and will hit 300kph in 17 seconds. Any of these versions can be upgraded to a higher up version later on.
All three versions of the car are available with two gearboxes: a six speed manual and a six speed sequential. The 750hp version is also available with a five speed Tiptronic.
Sounds good to me, which is exactly why we’ve nominated it for our Tuned Car of the Year.
If you want to read 9ff’s press release, here it is:

Micky Pegg was first introduced to cigars in the Spring of 1989 while playing college not and interning on Capitol Hill in Washington DC. Back in the day, if the Senator you worked for liked you and you did a good job he would send you down to the local tobacconist for cigar. When you returned you got to light up with the leadership staff. It was at that point, Micky was hooked. He would begin working for the tobacconist where he would spend all his money on cigars. So much so that his first paycheck was for $4.52.
After a sting with Davidoff handling the Mid-Atlantic sales he would venture over to CAO where he would become the national sales manager for CAO. Eventually the company sold to General Cigar and Micky exited the cigar industry where he would work selling mutual funds and retirement plans. He missed the cigar industry and when two friends Martin Corboy, a successful restaurateur, and Air Force Academy graduate and veteran Frank Layo tried to convince him to return to the cigar industry.
Eventually he listened after his wife Kimmie, Crowned Heads founder and former CAO marketing guru Jon Huber and countless others convinced him to follow his dreams.
His first release was a limited edition cigar called Solamente and now he is back with his sophomore release, Dedicacion which is dedicated to all the people he is thankful for in his life.

Wrapper: San Andres
Ring Gauge: 50
Size: Berkey (Robusto)
The Look: Packaged in 20 count boxes of two rows of 10, the Dedicacion Berkey is a box-pressed cigar featuring a fairly dark San Andres wrapper that is flawless in appearance. In the hand the cigar is firm with no voids of tobacco and a well packed foot. The primary band features the All Saints Cigars shield logo with a secondary band denoting the line name, Dedicacion.
The Notes: The cold draw offers up a myriad of tasting notes including licorice, cedar and hay with the first two carrying over to the nose off the foot. Once the cigar is cut and toasted the initial draw serves up an abundance of cedar. According to the box these cigars were rolled over a year ago meaning it took in the cedar notes from the aging room at the Tavicusa factory in Nicaragua.
As we smoke our way into the first third the cedar remains dominant along with bread that was in a toaster with a setting of 6-7 which is how I prefer mine. Additionally there are hints of cream, and toffee that grows in intensity with the help of the retrohale.
The second third sees toffee becoming the dominant taste with continued cedar and cream. Around the half way point the cream fades away as a leather finish begins to develop with a touch of strong espresso. The retrohale sees the addition of some black pepper and a subtle sweetness.
As we conclude the Dedicacion from All Saints Cigars notes of leather and espresso are the focal point with a touch of cashews on the fairly long finish. The retrohale sees the black pepper intensified with each puff.
The Finish: The Dedicacion is a great cigar. It offers a lot of great tasting notes with an effortless draw. Since I got a box of these I have smoked almost the entire box in a weeks time. There is no sophomore jinx with All Saints Cigars second effort which comes from the TAVICUSA factory in Nicaragua. I sense a bright future for the company headed up by Micky Pegg.

Construction of the MacDuff Parkway bridge that will connect Wilksmoor Village to North Kedron Drive came on step closer to reality Nov. 6 when the Peachtree City Council authorized a construction agreement between CSX railroad and developer Brent Scarbrough.
City Manager Jim Pennington at the meeting said the only action needed by the city was to authorize Mayor Vanessa Fleisch to sign the agreement on behalf of Peachtree City.
“As you are aware, this project has lain dormant for some time and now that the developers are ready to proceed with the construction of the development and the Scarbrough portion of MacDuff Parkway including the bridge, the developer has undertaken discussion with officials of CSX railroad to secure permission to construct a bridge over the rail tracks,” Pennington said.
Pennington after the meeting said the next step will be for Scarbrough to obtain the city permits required for the project.
Though he offered no timeline, Pennington said work on the bridge could begin potentially in the coming months.
The expense of constructing the bridge is the responsibility of the developer.
To date, there is one way to access the existing south side of Wilksmoor, that being MacDuff Parkway at Ga. Highway 54 West. Once constructed, a second point of access will be at North Kedron Drive along Ga. Highway 74 after MacDuff Parkway is extended to connect to Kedron Drive and a bridge is constructed over the CSX Railroad tracks adjacent to Senoia Road.
The existing subdivisions in Wilksmoor Village, including one apartment complex, have a total of 1,454 units while the three subdivisions recently approved for construction total 1,329 units. In total, Wilksmoor Village will eventually have 2,783 units. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Tell your teacher thank you with this “Thanks for Sticking With Me Printable Tag”.
Thanks for Sticking With Me Printable Tag
We’re in the home stretch to the end of the year! With only 12 more school days, it’s time to start thinking of how we’ll be thanking our teachers! This hasn’t been the easiest year for my oldest and I felt thanking the teacher for sticking with us would be very fitting, so I whipped up this Thanks for Sticking With Me printable tag.
You may remember these magnets from our Magnetic Chore Chart post, where I showed how to make them. After making ours, I was helping in the classroom and noticed the whiteboards were magnetic and thought they would make a useful (and flashy) teacher gift. The metal tags are from Michaels and are perfect for holding the magnets in place (and they were super cheap).
We picked up Post-It Notes as another “sticky” item to add to the gift basket for the teachers. If you want more sticky things a teacher could use here are some ideas: cute tape dispenser, gum, glue, candy, soda, lip gloss, and washi tape.
Download is for personal use only and may not be sold.
We packaged them up and tied the tag on the outside. If you want to make the gift a little more substantial go ahead and throw a gift card in the mix.

Earthquakes are natural disasters that can strike at any moment. They can occur with little to no warning and can cause significant damage to buildings, homes, and people. Hence, it is essential to have an earthquake safety kit with all the necessary supplies to protect yourself and your family during and after an earthquake. In this blog post, we will discuss the essential supplies for earthquake kit, and why you need them.
A basic earthquake safety kit should include a first-aid kit, flashlights, batteries, food and water, a radio (preferably one with NOAA weather alerts), a whistle for signaling help, sturdy shoes or boots in case of debris, blankets to keep warm during the quake and afterwards when it may be cold outside. It’s also important to include copies of important documents like birth certificates, insurance papers, and medical records.
In order to stay safe during an earthquake it is important to practice safe behaviors such as: drop, cover and hold on; take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture or against an interior wall away from windows; stay inside until the shaking stops and you’re certain it’s safe to exit; if in a wheelchair, lock the wheels and remain seated until the shaking stops; use the flashlight to move around safely when exiting; avoid using elevators, as power can be lost during an earthquake.
- First Aid Kit
The first item in your earthquake safety kit must be a well-stocked first aid kit. This kit should include essential medical supplies such as bandages, gauze pads, adhesive tape, antiseptic solution, pain relievers, and scissors. You should also include any prescription medication that you or your family requires.
- Water Supplies
During an earthquake, the water supply may become contaminated or unusable. It is crucial to have enough water stored to last for at least 72 hours. The Red Cross recommends at least one gallon of water per person per day. Remember to include water purification tablets or a filtration system in case of emergencies.
- Non-perishable Food
When it comes to food, focus on non-perishable items such as canned food, dry fruits, and granola bars. These items can be stored for a long time and provide enough nutrition for your family. Make sure to store enough food for at least three days, and don’t forget to include essential items such as a can opener, utensils, and paper plates.
- Lighting and Communication
During an earthquake, there is a high chance of losing power, internet or phone connections. Having a backup source of lighting and communication is essential. A flashlight (or several), spare batteries, and wind-up radio should be kept in your earthquake safety kit. You can also invest in a solar charger for your mobile phones.
- Shelter and Protection
Earthquakes can displace people from their homes. Therefore, it is crucial to have an emergency shelter to protect yourself and your family. Include items such as sturdy blankets, a tent, and a tarp. You can also consider adding a whistle or an air horn to your kit, which can help alert rescue teams if you are trapped or injured.
In conclusion, an earthquake safety kit is not only important but also life-saving. You should keep it in a place that is easily accessible during an emergency. Having an earthquake safety kit with all the essential supplies will ensure that you and your family are prepared and can survive during and after an earthquake. Remember, your safety is your responsibility, and being equipped with an earthquake safety kit can make a big difference. Stay safe! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In January this year I posted about how sad I felt seeing all the used real Christmas Trees left outside homes waiting to be collected by our local council to be recycled.
It made me wonder about the environmental Pros and Cons of real trees and fake trees. Having a fake tree in the loft and having used this for over 10 years interspersed with real ones, made me want to find out which was best. There are 3 options if you want a tree inside this Christmas: Fake, a cut real tree or a pot grown real tree. Below I try to lay out the pros and cons of each.
Carbon Footprint: The Carbon Trust state that ‘An artificial tree needs to be used for 10 Christmases for it to have a lower carbon footprint than a real one’. But to keep their carbon footprint down ‘real trees need to be properly recycled, either by being chipped or burnt’. It seems that how the tree is disposed of is more significant that where it came from when it comes to offsetting the production. They have some great advice on how to reduce your carbon impact generally over Christmas here.
Food Miles: Most fake trees are made in China and shipped all over the world. A locally grown or sourced cut or pot-grown tree is the kindest route when thinking of transportation and there is nothing nicer than going out to choose your own tree. It’s also good to know that you are supporting local businesses and the communities around them. You can find a registered Christmas Tree Grower local to you on the British Christmas Tree Grower’s Association Website
Cost: One of the greatest benefits of an artificial tree is you can use them year after year. I love this article from The Daily Mail about a tree that has been used by the same family for over 120 years. Not sure my tree from B&Q will make it as a family heirloom!
Recycling: So, it appears from the comments from The Carbon Trust above that how recycling a real Christmas Tree is more important than the production process. So firstly, yes, my local Council take Christmas Trees from those registered with their Green Waste Scheme in January and compost them and I believe many other Councils offer this service in January. Other organisations also take them and recycle them for different purposes including The National Trust to support the dunes at Formby beach near Merseyside.
Most organisations agree that the best tree to buy is a locally gown tree in a pot with its roots. You can then plant it outside after Christmas: no need for recycling and you will add to the winter interest in your garden. I would say add that it’s best to plant the tree in the ground, rather than leave it in the pot as pots are pretty high maintenance to look after and it will much prefer to get its roots in the ground! Or another solution is to see if you can rent a pot-grown tree for Christmas and hand it back in January to be planted elsewhere! Locavore is a social enterprise based in Glasgow which helps build a more sustainable local food system including the provision of a farm shop, veg box scheme and other initiatives including a Christmas Tree Rental Scheme!
So, in summary:
· If you’re buying a real cut tree, it’s best to buy from a local supplier. Most cut trees take about 8 years to grow to the size most of us want and are cut in November ready for sale. TOP TIP: run you’re your hands through the branches. If its fresh the needles will look bright and green and shouldn’t fall off.
· If you buy a potted tree it will likely be much smaller as it may have only be growing 1-2 years. It can be planted in your garden (or someone else’s) after Christmas.
· Keep your tree watered when you get it home as your central heating will zap it.
· Recycle your tree! This is the most important bit – it mustn’t end up in landfill – take advantage of any recycling schemes run by your local Council or chip it up for use as a mulch in your garden.
· If you’re opting for a fake tree, choose something you’re going to be happy to use for at least 10 years if not longer!
Let me know what you think and what you’ll be doing this year. I’m not sure what we will be using – I think my little girl usually as the final say, so we shall see!
Have a great Christmas | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
An integrated software for tobacco MSA reporting
In the United States, the government has imposed taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products. Wholesalers and distributors who bring tobacco products to their facilities for the resale of vapes, tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, etc. have to pay the taxes. Also, the retailers and consumers who are engaged in the sale and purchase of tobacco are obligated to pay taxes. However, the sellers collect taxes from buyers during the invoice and have to report the collected taxes to the concerned authority. The GuruWay is offering reliable and fully-automated MSA reporting software which helps tobacco distributors, warehouses, and retailers to prepare weekly reports for presenting accurate data to the Department of Revenue.
Overview of MSA reporting
MSA is Master Services Agreement reporting which is signed between 46 US states and tobacco manufacturing companies. Under this agreement, wholesalers and stockists of tobacco, cigars, and e-cigarettes are required to report sales and activity reports to manufacturers. This is weekly reporting which comprises data about sales of tobacco products to local and out-of-state vendors. It requires sellers to prepare a report with complete batch no, product item, sales status, and tax collection particulars. We provide an ERP system that automates the full reporting process on time and correctly. It helps in tax return filing and notifies errors in reporting prior to submission.
Key features of the ERP system
For many tobacco companies, preparing MSA reporting is a complex task. It comprises detailed information about sales and inventory of taxed and non-taxed tobacco merchandise. Thus, fetching all data manually to make reporting is highly prone to errors. So, our MSA reporting software works to make it precise by automating sales, inventory, and invoicing processes. Thus, you can prepare and submit MSA reports on time and meet all requirements set by trade programs of tobacco manufacturers.
System integration with accounting process
Accounting is the key aspect of the tobacco business since it keeps your operations aligned with sales, invoicing, and tax collection on tobacco products. The ERP software has direct integration to make accounting better and faster than conventional applications. It can automatically save data for sales and invoicing of tobacco in easy formats. Thus, you can derive useful information from saved data to prepare Master Services Agreement reporting. An ERP system can also provide you with the desired format for reporting as per your specific tobacco business type. You don’t have to make time-consuming efforts to prepare reporting formats in spreadsheets.
Our enterprise resource planning system is highly secured MSA reporting software. It is a centrally managed system to deliver you a secure platform for reporting. Thus, you will not only get ease and flexibility in preparing MSA reporting for your tobacco business. However, the system also ensures the safety of your valuable data by protecting it from unauthorized access. Hence, it delivers you the neat and clean process of preparing MSA reporting by preserving necessary information. Sign up now for a free demo of our software to understand its seamless working. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Airtel Nigeria has named Dinesh Balsingh as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective Nov. 1, 2024.
The announcement was made in a statement on Tuesday, signed by the Director of Corporate Communications and CSR, Airtel Nigeria, Femi Adeniran.
The new CEO succeeded Carl Cruz, who stepped down at the end of October to return to the Philippines.
The statement read in part, “Balsingh has extensive experience across the telecommunications industry and returns to Nigeria following his appointment as Managing Director and CEO of Airtel Tanzania in 2022.
“Prior to his move to Tanzania, he served as the Chief Commercial Officer at Airtel Nigeria and therefore brings with him considerable experience of the Nigerian telecommunications market.”
The company said he first joined Airtel Nigeria in 2013 as Marketing Director, following earlier leadership roles at Airtel India and Tata Docomo.
Speaking on the leadership changes, Airtel Africa Chief Executive Officer, Sunil Taldar, said, “Balsingh’s deep telecommunications experience and strong operational execution, combined with his knowledge of the Nigerian market, will be instrumental in further supporting our corporate purpose of transforming lives across Nigeria.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
TV DEBRIEF: Convergence has enabled viewers to overcome the limitations of scheduled television, with video content being distributed over the internet to consumers’ computers and mobile devices. VOD and time shifting technologies (PVRs ) have created non-linear viewing patterns. This means advertisers are constantly challenged to adapt to a changing media ecosystem that has become customer-centric in that consumers can access content wherever they want, whenever they want, from whatever device they want.
Media, through digitisation, has become a ‘lifestyle’ dynamic in that we now experience more personalisation and participation – we can use the likes of Twitter, Facebook, blogging and e-mails to participate in an on-air debate on CNN Connect, for example,. Then there’s the socialisation aspect, with all the social networking fads. Advertisers, in turn, need to start having the right kind of ‘conversations’ with consumers of ‘new media’ platforms in a relevant, engaging way. Essentially, what was once a one-way dialogue with consumers has to become a dynamic conversation.
As we compare the more traditional advertising approach, using traditional media platforms, to a more lifestyle advertising approach, using lifestyle media platforms, we see the differences and changes that are already starting to emerge.
To illustrate my point, I stumbled across an old but relevant case study from the US, which succinctly demonstrates ‘lifestyle advertising’ working the new media ecosystem: Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty.
Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty, a multi-media, cross-platform advertising endeavour, aspired not to directly pitch the company’s beauty products, but rather to influence an important conversation about a pressing women’s issue.
One component of this initiative was a short digital film called Dove Evolution, which shows, in fast-forward, the makeup and touch-up techniques that turn an ordinary woman into a billboard model. Ending with the tagline “No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted,” the video piece encourages viewers to share it amoung their friends while pointing them to Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty website. Once at the website, the audience is invited to participate in a discussion about how popular culture influences young girls’ perception of beauty. The site also directs viewers a clear path to action through the Dove Self-Esteem Fund, a non-profit effort to promote self-esteem programmes for young girls worldwide.
In less than 30 days, Dove Evolution generated more than 2.3 million views on YouTube. Due to this massive, viral sharing, the 75-second video received widespread news coverage and became a feature story on broadcast television, appearing on popular daytime and prime-time talk shows. The social interaction and viral distribution enabled by YouTube delivered more than three times more traffic to the Dove website than an expensive TV advertisement the company placed to launch Campaign for Real Beauty during the 2005 Super Bowl. A similar result through paid media placement would have come to a substantially higher cost to the company.
Now Dove has launched its latest ad in the real beauty campaign series is called ‘selfie’. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, in the form of a 7-minute documentary, this month. In it, mothers and daughters are
Both mothers and daughters were asked to take a selfie that highlighted the features they disliked the most, the ones they’d usually try to hide in photos. Then they attended an event where their selfies were blown up and posted in a photo gallery. The goal is for the women to “redefine their own beauty and see that insecurity often lies beneath the personal snapshots
These type of conversations in new advertising models and in converged media is, at it’s core, characterised and measured by how much information and social capital a consumer is willing to contribute to energise a conversation with a brand. It is currently manifested and quantified through site or service registrations, user comments, consumer profiles and information sharing with other consumers or communities. Many advertisers have identified the growth in user generated content, social networking, and digital interactivity as opportunities to leverage a new breed of consumer engagement, whereby brand proponents ‘push’ the brand through digital word-of-mouth (viral marketing). What this creates, in effect, is a dynamic co-creation of the advertising messaging.
In conclusion, we are moving from a world of impressions to a world of engagement and influence and instead of attempting to position themselves alongside the segmented lifestyles of a mass audience, advertisers must now aim to position their brands within the lifestyles of individual consumers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
It’s estimated that each year 640,000,000 kg, or 640 000 metric tonnes, of discarded fishing equipment end up as “Ghost Nets” or “Ghost Fishing Gear” in the world’s oceans. Which is equivalent to the weight of 50,000 double-decker busses. Ghost Nets continue fishing for up to 600 years resulting in millions of killed marine animals and fish every single year. The nets also comprise more than 50% of all harmful microplastic in the ocean.
There’re several problems connected to Ghost Nets; after being lost or dumped by the fishing boats, one must embark on the task of tracking, salvaging and recycling the nets.
The Perfect World Foundation Project Ocean is about bringing awareness to these problems, protecting marine life from harm, and creating solutions to be implemented on a global basis to finally put an end to ocean plastic and Ghost Nets.
Fredrik Johansson is the initiator of the initiative “Rena Mälaren”, where divers dive to pick up waste from our oceans. This is one of several initiatives The Perfect World Foundation supports in “Project Ocean”.

The number of non-EU students allowed to stay and work or continue studying in the UK fell by a third in 2014, following Home Office measures to crack down on study visa extensions, figures from the department have shown.
Study-related extensions fell by more than a quarter in the year ending March 2015, but still accounted for 84% of the 74,760 visa extensions granted to students in 2014.
Work visas granted to former international students rose by 13% to 7,043 in 2014
The remaining extensions granted to international students were work visas such as graduate entrepreneurship and internship visas, which rose by 13% to 7,043 in 2014.
This category includes 5,639 Tier 2 skilled worker visas – over a third more than in 2013. Tier 2 skilled worker visas are granted to students who have job offers from UK employers to earn a minimum of £20,000 annually.
Institution-sponsored applications for study-related visa extensions, which make up the bulk of all applications to extend study, fell largely due to fewer applications for the further education sector, the Home Office said.
Meanwhile, refusals of study-related extensions also increased by 39%.
These trends are likely due to previous falls in the number of visas granted and tightening of regulations including the introduction of interviews to determine whether students are genuine, according to the Home Office.
Further restrictions have been placed on the sector since these statistics were published, meaning that international students at a further education institution will no longer be allowed to extend their visa without returning home first.
The statistics also showed that visa applications sponsored by institutions in the further education sector fell by 11% over the course of the year.
“I can confidently say that the current UK legislation has had an impact on FE colleges’ ability to recruit students, and it has made it much harder for students to get visas,” John Mountford, international director at the Association of Colleges, told The PIE News.
Mountford called for a clearer breakdown of statistics to bring about a better understanding of the FE sector, as it is impossible to tell from the figures whether public or private providers have borne the brunt of this fall.
“There certainly has been a hit on further education, that’s for sure – the extent of it is difficult to tell from the figures,” he said.
“There is lack of clarity from the Home Office around where government further education colleges stop and private colleges start, when it comes to statistics and legislation.”
The number of educational institutions that can sponsor student visas fell by 8% in the year ending 31 March 2015 to 1,543, the majority of which were FE institutions.
Last year, 65 private colleges lost their ability to sponsor Tier 4 student visas in the six-month period following the announcement of a Home Office investigation into immigration fraud in June, after it found that some 45,000 immigrants may have fraudulently obtained English language test certificates.
The Home Office attributed the decrease in the number of sponsoring educational institutions to new accreditation criteria and compliance policy for educational sponsors, introduced in April 2011. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
It was Tuesday and we wanted to ride a favorite down in South Lake Tahoe called Armstrong. When we first rode it we accessed it from the north and had to gain 3,000′ via Cold Creek to Star Lake and the saddle next to Freel Peak up at a rarefied 9,500′. Next we tried to get a shuttle up the backside of Armstrong’s but the commercial guys did not want to drive the 6 mile dirt road up Willow creek. OK, how about riding up the approach to Mr Toads and then taking the connector over to the start of Armstrong’s? Still had to climb from 7,200′ up to the start at around 8,800′ with some ups and downs along the way.
“Armstrong’s” is an 8 mile downhill collage; Armstrong itself, the Connector, Sidewinder with it’s infinite banked curves that will make you dizzy and a finish down Corral’s table top jumps.
Last riding day – Let’s do something not too hard. Hwy 267 out of Truckee has Northstar resort to the west and Martis Peak to the east where there is a road up to a fire lookout. Thing is that many of the user created trails are on private property and there were new signs alongside the road where we wanted to ride. Rebel Jud persuades us it will be fine and we take off down “Dirty Harry” which quickly become obliterated by bulldozer treads.
Naturally we get off trail & lost as we follow a red herring up into the snow.
We find where the trail picks up again but down at the first logging road we hear sounds of heavy machinery and chain saws going nuts. We bailout to the Martis Peak road we had come in on to avoid confrontation although Jud was quite happy to play cat & mouse with the loggers.
Now what? Pick up the TRT down to Hwy 267 which we cross and keep on the single track as we climb the backside of Northstar with the hopes of accessing their downhill runs. No lifts are running and we are renting one of their houses so we are quite content to see what there is to offer. A bit of mucking around brings us to Livewire, a black diamond that heads down to the lodge. I take off last and enjoy the ride as long there is not a crazy rider on my arse pushing me to go faster.
Great boys week as I head for home to pack the RV for a October run up to SW Utah before winter sets in. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Seems like a famous witness has left the courtroom drama! The queen of cinema, Halle Berry, was preparing to collaborate with Kim Kardashian and Glenn Close on the much awaited legal series All’s Fair.
However, Berry left as soon as she entered, leaving admirers and Hollywood to speculate about what might have been. Was it merely a matter of misfortune, or is Berry’s next great move just being made room by the universe?
Halle was fired just one week after her casting was made public. The Hollywood Reporter claims that she left due to a straightforward schedule dispute with another movie rather than controversy or diva behavior.
Halle Seems To Have Had A Conflict With Her Schedule
Halle maintained her optimism on the circumstances during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. Perceiving little concern about the last-minute alteration, she remarked, “You know, things happen for a reason.”
“I know it’s going to be great, and I would have loved to have been there with those ladies,” she continued on August 12 at the Los Angeles premiere of her most recent movie, The Union.
But in typical Halle form, she had to acknowledge Ryan Murphy as she walked out, saying, “It’s Ryan Murphy! Well, obviously, but maybe next time.
All’s Fair continues to be one of the most talked-about shows of the year, even after Berry’s departure. Kim, 43, will take on the character of an accomplished divorce lawyer in the Hulu drama, which will revolve around an all-female legal practice in Los Angeles.
If anyone still believes that Kardashian is just a reality TV personality, they should reconsider. In the field of acting, too, she has been rather successful.
Kim Desires To Concentrate On Her Acting Career
Kim’s acting prowess has recently been under scrutiny, particularly following her appearance on FX’s American Horror Story: Delicate. The reality TV star has stated that she would like to transition into more serious acting parts, even though her life in front of the cameras may be what makes her most famous.
For instance, Kim stated on the most recent season of The Kardashians that she wants to pursue acting as a career, indicating that she is more than prepared to go past the reality TV character that helped her become well-known.
Furthermore, Kardashian has other acting projects planned than All’s Fair. She will also executive produce and appear in the witty Netflix original film The Fifth Wheel. In November of last year, Netflix released a teaser for the project, revealing that Janine Brito and Paula Pell, two writers, will be collaborating with Kardashian.
Another daring move in Kardashian’s rapidly developing career is the comedy project, which she pitched herself.
Though Teyana Taylor, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, and Glen will still be leading All’s Fair with a lot of star power, Halle Berry’s loss will undoubtedly be missed.
After all, Halle’s involvement always changes the game, and her admirers were giddy at the prospect of seeing her on television alongside these amazing ladies.
What will happen to Halle next? It’s evident that the Oscar winner isn’t slowing down in spite of the setback.
Although Halle’s choice to leave All’s Fair may have created a void in the ensemble, it’s likely that she has her sights set on another endeavor that will allow her extraordinary gift to be fully appreciated. “Things happen for a reason,” as Halle put it, and her next big hit could be that reason.

A conversation with Cherie Alleyne, vice president and buyer for Blum’s Inc.
By Suzanne Bernhardt
At The Swim Journal, we believe it’s helpful for our readers to hear what other successful retailers are doing. Many thanks to Cherie Alleyne, vice president and buyer for Blum’s Inc., for sharing her business insights.
TSJ: How many store locations do you have, and how long have you been in business?
ALLEYNE: We have two stores, one in Patchogue, N.Y., and one in Williamsville, N.Y. We are very proud to say that we just celebrated our 91st anniversary!
TSJ: What type of apparel and accessories do you sell?
ALLEYNE: We carry a very large selection of swimwear, specializing in separates and hard-to-fit cup sizes A-I and XS-32. We stock swimwear in the missy, contemporary, plus-size, girls, mastectomy and spa categories. The other types of merchandise that we sell include beachwear, cover-ups, resortwear, hats, bags, footwear, eyewear and jewelry. We also carry a large selection of bras, lingerie, bridal and loungewear.
TSJ: What are some of your keys to success in this highly competitive industry and volatile retail climate?
ALLEYNE: We are well known for our extensive selection and great customer service.
TSJ: What are some labels (including clothing and accessories) that perform very well in your store?
ALLEYNE: With regard to swimwear, Miraclesuit, Magicsuit, Sunsets, Becca, Bleu by Rod Beattie, Beach House, Tommy Bahama and La Blanca are all top performers in our stores. In terms of clothing, Veronica M and Elan do very well. Ipanema and Yellow Box are favorite shoe vendors, and Wacoal, Chantelle, Natori, Goddess and Curvy Couture are great bra vendors.
TSJ: You have been in business a long time, so you have seen many changes in this industry. What would you say is the current state of the industry?
ALLEYNE: To some extent the industry has gotten smaller with regards to reliable companies that have inventory on a constant basis. In the past you were able to receive reorders within 1 to 2 weeks. Now it takes 3 to 4 weeks and sometimes even longer. Also, because of the onset of the internet with so many companies popping up offering swimwear at discounted prices, customers are quick to order from them [instead of the retail store].
TSJ: Fashion shows are becoming more and more prevalent during Miami Swim Week. Do you attend any of the fashion shows?
Alleyne: No, I do not attend the fashion shows anymore. They are not that important to my buying decisions.
TSJ: What trade shows do you attend in Miami during Swim Week?
Alleyne: I usually only attend SwimShow. It is very disrupting to my day to have to leave one show to go to another. I would much prefer all of the shows to be under one roof.
TSJ: What sources influence your buying decisions?
ALLEYNE: Social media affects my buying decisions, especially as it relates to the contemporary customer who is very influenced by what celebrities are wearing and what is trending.
I also always refer to The Swim Journal before attending SwimShow, as it helps me identify new vendors and products, as well as provides information on what is happening and trending in the swim industry. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

From time to time, every team faces a few key challenges while aligning their productivity and achieving success together as an outcome. An external intervention at these times is what can bring the teams back into full throttle mode.
We, at The Wanderers, address pivotal team issues through very interesting activities as part of our OWL (Outdoor Learning & Development) Team Building programs. We've developed these programs after years of research & feedback from many HR heads and today, we believe we can partner with you & implement our programs to your spedicif needs.
Clients who have benefitted from our outdoor experiential learning programs include Marico, Unilever, Pernod Ricard, Microsoft, Bayer Crop Science, Tata Sky, Pepsico, Levi Strauss, CEAT, Axis MF, IDFC MF, Mondelez (formerly Cadbury), Max Bupa, UTV Action, Law & Kenneth & many more.
Our corporate training programs are not about just excitement generation, but about taking themes like team building to the next level though our well researched programs, like our signature 'Tsunami Rescue and Evacuation' program, which is a devoted 6-8 hour high energy program designed for team bonding. Virtual events and learning programs.
This is our forte and companies that have already experienced the same have given our program a '2 thumbs up'!
A simulated exercise to bring out the key factors that make or break a team. This is one of our signature prorietary corporate offering in the outdoors.
It’s a simulated exercise spread over almost 6-8 hours. Groups from 20 to 200 can participate in this activity. This program can be conducted anywhere – from beaches to mountains, desert terrain to jungles. It involves the groups, which are divided into smaller teams, to achieve the task of saving maximum lives in the time span given. A fast paced, highly interactive, though-provoking, energy-sapping team activity that brings out various aspects of team dynamics to the fore. We usually incorporate a couple of CSR activities into this programme to add to the complexity of this full day programme. The programme ends with a detailed debrief by our facilitators.
This is our second signature offering. It is ideal for a company that wants to imbibe the important message of working in a team into a fun activity. It works best if integrated into a conference. This half-day or one-day event (depending on the time available and the geographical area covered) has all the intrigue and excitement of a complex treasure hunt but is far more challenging and physically demanding, requires team members to work as a strong unit to perform a range of activities and is spread over a large geographical area that covers many square kilometres and entails the use of various modes of transport. Given the fact that it can be done in locations as diverse as Istanbul, Rome and Udaipur, it is a unique concept that is thoroughly enjoyed by the participants. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

China’s long-awaited C919 single-aisle airliner flew for the first time on Friday and completed an 80-minute low-altitude and low-speed loop around the Yangtze River delta area before landing in Shanghai. The Chinese government, which built the airliner through its wholly owned Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), issued a statement saying the flight went well and all systems worked. The project, which is about three years behind schedule, is a marquee initiative in China’s bid to free itself from reliance on Western technology for the sophisticated products its burgeoning middle class demands, but China had plenty of help to get this aircraft into the air.
The engines are French CFM LEAP-1C high-efficiency turbofans, the avionics are from Honeywell and GE built the flight management and reporting systems. Michelin makes the tires. The airframe borrows heavily from the designs of the A320 and Boeing 737. Although it was widely portrayed as a direct challenge to Boeing and Airbus’s duopoly in that market segment, it will likely be some time before there is any tangible effect, if at all. The C919 will make a dent in the other companies’ domination of the Chinese domestic airline market but the aircraft has made virtually no inroads in other markets. The company says it has 530 orders for the twinjet but it’s apparently under no illusions about the difficulty of cracking the export market. Banners at the assembly plant urge workers to endure “hardship,” “dedication” and “struggle” to get the jet to market. Courtesy of AVweb. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Paul Ip, KCMG Founder: “We’re delighted to add Struan to our driver roster. We have kept an eye on his development throughout 2014 and have been impressed with his race-craft at such a young age. In Bahrain, we were in attendance with our WEC team and saw Struan show his potential with an MRF victory, which left us in no doubt that we’ve chosen the right man.”
Ryuji Doi, Head of KCMG Motorsport: “Struan brings tremendous talent and enthusiasm to our F3 team. We saw first-hand his skill inside the car and his feedback and interaction with his engineers was very impressive.

New fence wall for Cape Coast Centre
We have built a fence wall around the Centre to protect it from the football field right next to it. Previous fence walls made of wood did not last. Next to protecting the Centre the fence wall helps to confirm our own identity (we share the premises with another school). We also created an extra entrance for the community which, we hope, will make it easier for children from the public schools in the vicinity to get to the Centre. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Dear Integral Meditators,
This weeks article gives some simple mindful suggestions for bringing real stability to your life, literally, and even when under pressure!
Also, I recently discovered that a TedX talk I gave on mindfulness is up on the web. Its a pretty decent 15min primer on the vision of engaged and integral mindfulness, do have a view!
In the spirit of castle-like awareness!
1:1 Coaching offer until the end of August
On a personal level, if you are looking to meet the rest of the year with a renewed strategy for developing your work-life balance, and for dealing with your stress more effectively, until the end of August I am offering a 15% price reduction in myHandle stress and have peace of mind 1:1 coaching sessions.
Making your body your castle
Your body and your senses are your most basic, simple and stable objects of mindful awareness. They are basic and simple because they are non-conceptual, solid experiences that we encounter when we observe the physical dimension of our present moment awareness. When your mind is focused on your body and senses quite naturally it starts to feel more stable, because our body is generally much less changeable, quick and unpredictable than our thoughts and emotions.
Your body and senses are the easiest objects to train in mindfulness to begin with. This is because they are obvious and easy to find, even if we are not familiar with mindfulness practice. Everyone can become aware and focus on their body, or the sounds around them without too much trouble. Because of this they are an obvious place to begin building mindful concentration and focus. Once you are familiar with focusing on the body and senses, you can then go onto focus on thoughts, feelings and mental images as objects of mindfulness with much greater ease and success.
Solid mastery of mindfulness of the body and senses will give you tremendous stability under mental and emotional pressure. This is because they give your mind a stable anchor in the moment. Rather than feeling like you are drowning in an uncontrollable mass of thoughts and feelings, you will gradually start to feel more and more comfortable under pressure, because your attention to your body gives you a deeper sense of presence in the moment that enables calm.
Make your body like your castle
There is an old saying that goes something like “An Englishman’s home is his (or her) castle”. The gist of this is that our physical home is a refuge where we can retreat from the world, gather our strength, heal our wounds and feel safe. If we have a physical space to retreat to it is of great value to us in terms of our peace and wellbeing. I often think about my own body as being like my ‘castle’ as I go around my day facing various challenges. As long as a part of my attention is centered in my body I have a place where I can feel strong, relaxed and solid, even if there are difficult emotions, uncertainties or negative thoughts going on.
If you like you can bear this image in mind as you cultivate your own mindful attention of your body and senses. Practice making them ‘castle-like’; solid, immense and stable amidst the whirlwind of your emotions, thoughts and activities. If you are a visually minded person, when you are sitting in meditation you might even like to imagine yourself in your very own castle, safe and calm within its strong walls. You can them bring that feeling into your body in the present moment and cultivate that feeling of physical strength and solidity.
Enhancing your bodily comfort and wellbeing
As you cultivate your awareness in this way, you will also start to notice tension, fatigue or discomfort in the body. As a result, you will naturally start to let go of that tension and look after your body better. So not only will you find more mental stability, but you will also enhance your wellbeing on a physical level!

Almost every Bitcoin maximalist has argued how Bitcoin has performed better than tech stocks. Reiterating the same, MicroStrategy’s CEO Michael Saylor said that the crypto asset has grown roughly by 200% a year, at least before the pandemic. With a 700.5% hike in price within the last 12 months, it appears to have outpaced tech firms, such as Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft (which took 40 years’ time to be a “trillion-dollar network,” – while Bitcoin took 12 years).
In Saylor’s opinion, macroeconomic factors such as inflation are driving the Bitcoin network to grow faster. This could also be the main reason why institutions are gradually adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets. Such developments often make a strong case for the crypto’s superiority in fintech markets. But the existence of networks vying for Bitcoin’s spot as the largest crypto asset, cannot be ignored. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
