Secrets have the potential to greatly bless your life. Secrets build relationships by binding hearts with those with whom you share your secrets. Especially should we share our secrets with God and allow God to share His secrets with us. But secrets also have the power to bring you into bondage. Walls may be erected by secrets that are kept from mates or parents. Your most dangerous sin is probably your secret sin. Because sin is a thought before it becomes an action, parents should daily ask children what secret temptations they are facing. We are all naturally curious to find out secrets, but before you let someone tell you their secrets you need to first make sure you are the one to receive them. the answers to the following questions: you find out God’s secrets? children keeping secrets destroy godly parenting? What is the difference between secrets and surprises? happens if you tell the wrong person a secret? How do you know to whom you should tell your secrets? husbands and wives keep secrets from each other? engaged couples keep secrets about past moral failures? secrets and adoption relate to each other?

Ever cook with miyeok/wakame seaweed before? Here’s my grandma and mom’s recipe for miyeokguk, a healthy, umami, comforting Korean seaweed soup that Maddy and I both love. The umami comes from the beef, seaweed, sesame oil and sesame seeds and the sharpness of the garlic gives it dimension. It’s just so good (though it may look weird to seaweed newbies) and soooo healthy. For specific visuals, take a look at Caroline’s miyeokguk video. 2 lbs of flank steak or chuck roast (preferred bec. softer) 3/4 package of miyeok/wakame seaweed 1 small head of garlic, crushed 1 medium onion, sliced 6-qt Instant Pot (regular pot also works) 2 tbs toasted sesame seeds 2 tbs sesame oil 1/3 cup of soup soy sauce gukjanjang Soak beef and seaweed separately in water for at least 30 minutes. Rinse both. Add garlic and onion. Fill Instant Pot to the max with water (or about 6 quarts to a pot). Pressure cook for 2 hours to get both beef and seaweed super soft (or simmer in the regular pot for at least two hours depending on how soft you want your beef and seaweed). After the Instant Pot is done or while the soup is simmering, add the soup soy sauce. Stir and enjoy with rice!

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], Nov 27 : India wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni on Wednesday recalled two moments, which are closest to his heart. Dhoni said the first was the reception they got after the 2007 T20 World Cup win and the second was the support they got during the 2011 World Cup final at Wankhede Stadium. “I want to talk about two moments. First is when we returned to India after the 2007 T20 World Cup. During our open bus trip, we were at Marine drive and all the sides were jam-packed. It was so nice to see the smile that all the people had on their faces at that time,” Dhoni told reporters on Wednesday. “The second instance is the World Cup 2011 final when 15-20 runs were remaining and the people started chanting ‘Vande Matram’ in the Wankhede Stadium. So, these two moments are very difficult to replicate and they are very close to my heart,” he added. India had lifted the T20 World Cup 2007 after defeating Pakistan in the final by five runs. In 2011, India clinched the World Cup after trouncing Sri Lanka by six wickets.

The vision for contemporary learning across the Cairns Diocese is for Information Communication Technology (ICT) to be integral to learning and teaching in our schools to “empower those in our community to engage with and enrich our ever-changing world”. (Learning Framework, Catholic Education – Diocese of Cairns) 21st century learning demands new pedagogical and technological approaches to using ICT for learning. St Augustine’s School actively prepares students for the demands of an ever-changing world, through facilitating learning in a technology-rich environment where students and teachers don’t just learn about technology, they use it to achieve powerful learning and teaching and improve student learning outcomes. The schools of today offer different learning environments. Technology is very important for today’s classroom. For the students, technology provides them with different ways to go about creating, composing, responding to and using information rather than just reproducing it. This is very different to the education offered to the parents of today’s students. Good teaching is about involving students in learning that is engaging, inspiring and exciting. Our understanding of how students learn has changed and you can see this reflected in the Contemporary Learning Framework. Technology is constantly changing, something all parents are well-aware of at home. St Augustine’s regularly reviews the use of technology in the classrooms, the best available software and hardware and the best way to access the web. Technology assists teachers to develop engaging and adaptive environments in which to learn. See also Facilities Students have access to more information and communication tools than ever before. Such access calls for a new literacy: digital / ICT literacy. This requires students to be aware, wary and discriminating. St Augustine’s actively seeks to educate students to make informed choices about the information they seek, the products they want to create and the tools they use. In the fast-growing world of online education, the concept of digital citizenship is becoming more of a driving force behind how our teachers and students use technology for learning. At St Augustine’s, digital citizenship establishes how each of us should appropriately and responsibly use, communicate and interact with technology. Being a good digital citizen means: - Paying attention to online etiquette - Following Internet laws - Staying safe and secure online - Making ethical decisions - The Do’s and Don’ts of online communication. Digital citizenship has an undeniable impact on eLearning programs. Our teachers and students are continually learning about the importance of being a good digital citizen to ensure that online education is effective. When students understand and practice digital citizenship in the classroom, the online learning environment becomes more than a place of collaboration, but a safe place, where they feel comfortable sharing ideas and can focus on what’s important – learning. Below are copies of the Acceptable use of Computer and Internet Resouces – Primary and ICT Device Consent Form. These are signed on enrolment and have currency during your child’s ongoing enrolment in the school.

Bourbon Cream Floats can be served as shots or as full-size drinks. Ice cream and root beer get a little boozy boost with a shot of bourbon cream making this a really fun drink to serve at parties, cookouts, and especially when the weather is warm! It is no secret that I really like to add bourbon to my sweet treats. I have Bourbon Peach French Toast, Bourbon Cheesecake, Vanilla Bourbon Glaze poured over Brown Butter Pumpkin Cake, Bourbon Hot Chocolate — I mean… I can keep going, but I think you get the idea. So of course my friend Tanya knew that sending me BOURBON CREAM would be the most happily received gift EVER. She also tipped me off to the fact that pouring Bourbon Cream over ice cream was like the most amazing little treat. She said, “It tastes like a root beer float!” Of course I had to test that theory out. AND THEN I added root beer. When I was a kid my dad would every now and then have a major sweet tooth attack and come home with a half gallon of vanilla ice cream and a 2 liter of root beer. I can remember crowding around him in the kitchen, anticipating the foamy root beer coating a big creamy scoop of ice cream dotted with vanilla bean freckles. We were full of annoying sips and slurps (<<— like I cringe even typing that word) and the tippy-tapping of iced tea spoons hitting the bottom of an insulated plastic cup . It is one of my favorite memories. As an adult I still totally love an ice cold root beer with a burger sometimes. There are no more 2 liters, but I do keep a secret stash of glass bottles in the back of the beer drawer in the fridge. I know my brother still has that same sweet nostalgia because whenever he is here he grabs one of those cold bottles and we talk about how much we adore root beer floats. This easy drink is my grown up version of those happy memories. Bourbon Cream Floats can be served as little sippy shots or as a full-size drink. I made mine in these mini mason jar glasses because they are cute and I bought them for just this reason. How fun are these for parties?!! - ½ scoop vanilla ice cream (2 - 3 tablespoons or about ⅛ cup) - 1½ ounces Bourbon Cream - 2 -3 ounces root beer - Add the ice cream to the mug or cocktail glass (see note). Pour the Bourbon Cream over the ice cream and then slowly pour in the root beer. - Serve with fun straws and/or little spoons! For a festive frosty touch freeze the glasses before serving!

This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled, Zenobia Captive by Sir John Edward Poynter, represents one of the artist's most famous works. It shows an absolutely stunning portrait of a woman abundantly adorned with finery from the top of her head to her silver teardrop earrings down to her serpentine bracelets and other drapery. She is Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra. She was a fierce warrior queen who is said to have conquered Syria, Egypt and parts of Asia Minor after her husband (the king's) death. She was eventually captured by the Romans and given a pension and a villa where she was permitted to live out her life. Some say she was ruthless, but there is no doubt that her likeness exudes power and strength and this woman had the confidence to wield such power. No blended colors are used in our patterns. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect. Only full cross stitches are used in our designs.

In the first of a series of ‘Meet the Talisman Team’, we caught up with Michael Chiu, Project Engineer. Michael works as part of the project design team, to specify the materials needed to suit demanding applications across a wide variety of projects, looking at the type of plastic required, optimised for the manufacturing process and considering the stresses of the application environment. Most recently, Michael’s team produced a moulding tool which would then help craft the 3D nameplates that you’d find on cars, requiring detailed consideration of surface finishes, UV performance, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. Michael is part of the Talisman Plastics innovation team working on challenging projects, most recently including the build of a data logging medical watch, used for monitoring a patient’s health. A transparent lens is welded to the housing of the watch which needs to be sealed to vacuum tightness and waterproof. “The watch project involved a problem with ultrasonic welding, a completely new process to me. It was challenging to pick up and implement but it was great to work on a new method and understand the practicalities and theory behind it,” Michael explains. Michael joined Talisman Plastics at the start of 2020 after graduating from Coventry University with a Masters’ degree in Mechanical Engineering. With the country facing uncertainty in the face of a pandemic, it was a tough time for any graduate to find new employment. “It was a really challenging time to start a new job, especially with it being the first major move of my engineering career following my degree. I joined Talisman, and then the country went into lockdown soon after, which knocked the wind out of my sails a bit. I spent some time away from work in the early stages of lockdown, but once I returned it was great to be back and get stuck into some really interesting projects,” Michael said. “I have been interested in engineering since a young age – probably around the time I was at school. Engineering is great as it involves applying logical thinking, maths and understanding how things work and the fun thing about it is trying to tackle problems which would involve a lot of work. It’s about providing a solution to problems in our environment or making things work better, hence it feels very satisfying when you have put in a lot of effort and result works.” “It’s a good day at Talisman when I go home having achieved milestones for projects and being able to problem-solve.

During a USCG onboard inspection, the inspector checks all vessel logs, which include safety/training, maintenance, emergency procedures, cruise/radio logs, charts, and official documents. Additionally, they verify all operators licenses, permits, first aid certifications, and compliance with an active drug consortium. The inspection also checks all PFD/life jackets/devices, fire extinguishers/fire suppression systems, bilges, thru-hull fittings, engines, generators, fuel tanks, waste systems, radio/PA, required safety lights, system alarms, and tests emergency shut-off and fire procedures. During the Man Overboard Rescue drill, a life jacket is thrown overboard to simulate a passenger falling off the vessel. The captain and mate must work together to safely retrieve the victim and coordinate further care. Knowing what to do when a passenger goes overboard may be the difference between life and death. After calling "Man Overboard" the mate must shout the position and distance of the victim, relative to the vessel, and request that the Coast Guard be notified. The mate then dons a PFD and tethers himself to the vessel in order to retrieve the victim. Depending on the severity of the injury, the mate will either stay with the victim on the swim platform or bring the victim up on the deck for continued care. The annual onboard inspection by the USCG for a vessel our size usually takes 2-3 hours. These inspections are much different than the CG Auxiliary vessel checks that recreational and charter vessels limited to 6 passengers undergo. As a reminder, any vessel carrying more than 6 passengers for hire MUST have a COI (Certificate of Inspection). Learn more: USCG Charter Passenger for Hire and Charter Vessel Operations >

Thu Jan 05 2017 Mindfulness has experienced a meteoric rise in popularity and acceptance these last few years. Many scientific studies have explored the positive link between practicing mindfulness at work and improvements in wellness, leadership, communication, performance, team relationship, and conflict resolution. The opportunity to develop tools and skills that significantly enhance team development and leadership has many benefits. Here is one story that illustrates the power of mindfulness. A very large reinsurance firm has a team that expedites triage and repatriation when you fall ill anywhere, anytime on vacation or travel. It is a very high-stress position that requires focus, concentration, patience, and perseverance to ensure that the patient gets the right treatment in the right place at the right time. The medical travel insurance team had needed solid management and support for many months. Its morale and productivity were low, while rancor and distress were high. Team members were very stressed due to the critical nature of their jobs. Enter a new lead, educated as a microbiologist, taking on his first team. He is Senegalese, while working in a northern European city with a virtual crew. He contacted me for coaching, and we began to explore how mindfulness might be a key to the needed turnaround for his team. Over the course of several months, the team lead introduced the following with remarkable success: He taught his team to recognize when they were experiencing excessive pressure, using breathing as a way to mitigate distress. He gave them the initial skill of taking long, slow, and deep breaths before, during, or after a crisis call or a difficult interaction. He asked his team to send emails to one another spontaneously for work-related kudos. This led to team members bringing baked goods and other treats to thank one another, in addition to dozens of acknowledgments. He put up a large bulletin board where team members could place examples of how they had been helped by others, along with tips for stress management and other suggested acts and words of kindness. He asked them to come up with practical strategies to handle a tumultuous transition, one in which they might lose their jobs, or at the very least, lose a part of their role they enjoyed. Here are some tips for mindfulness in the New Year: On your way to work, think to yourself, “What is my intention for today? How can I be aware of my team’s needs and concerns? How can I communicate clearly my intent to be of support and a champion for their development?” Set a reminder in your calendar every two hours to get up and stretch, and move. Moving is critical to maintaining high performance. At lunch, get out of the building and get some fresh air. Become mindful of each sense one at a time. For a week, for instance, take pleasure in your sense of smell—notice frequently what you are sensing through your nose. The following week, concentrate on the sense of touch—enjoy temperature changes, for example. Lead with mindfulness. Develop your ability to stand back and simply observe your team without judgment or criticism: its actions, successes, and its need for refinements. Take any situation in which you have a strong emotional response and see if you can observe and learn from your response. Then manage yourself wisely: suppress the fight or flight response with breathing and muscle tension release. Look for ways to bring kindness into a conversation. Generate warmth by thinking about how this person helps you or brings her own brand of warmth to work, and be grateful for her and her contribution. If there is a conflict with another team member, actively try to understand his point of view before trying to have him understand yours.

Create Midjourney command for AI Art Suffixes. [TARGETLANGUAGE]Hey Assistant, I need your help creating Midjourney command for AI Art Suffixes. The command for this kind of suffix should be in this format. `/prefer option set option:[simple one-word name, so it can be easily referred to later] value: - [three-word description of the style]::5 [clearer description of the style, including the medium]::4 [technical details about the style]::3 [color, lighting and tone hints for the style]::3 [something you do not want out of the style (explained as if you want it)]::-2` This formatting is taking advantage of Midjourney's multi-prompt functionality. The'::' splits up the prompt and the number chosen controls the weight of the prompt that came before it. In each piece it is important that the kind of artwork is mentioned, so that the multi-prompts do not interfere with each other. Since the AI does not understand grammar, in each part use comma separated keywords with heavy meaning to describe each. For example: `/prefer option set option:impressionist value: beautiful impressionist painting::5 dramatic oil painting, sweeping, expressive swirling strokes::4 painting, swirling impasto, thick brushes, pallet knife, strong creative choices, obvious brush marks::3 painted with saturated, epic colors, highly visual, rule of thirds::3 dull, boring, and ugly artwork::-2` `/prefer option set option:portrait value: headshot portrait photography::5 beautiful rich photograph, with focal depth and a majestic blurring behind the subject's face::4 portrait photograph taken on a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR, f/5.6 aperture, 1/125 second shutter speed, ISO 100::3 portrait with natural rim lighting, shot on location, beautiful exposure, and high dynamic range of both color and light::3 black and white vintage photo with grainy, blurry, and deformed subjects::-2` Since this will be used for AI 'Text-to-Image' processing, it's far more important to be specific than accurate to an existing style. Make bold and interesting choices when you invent your own art style. Do not use words such as: Cutting. Take note though. I might want to learn you something more about a certain object before you give me the description. I will prefix this with LEARN: If that's the case just absorb the information and end here with a statment of your choice that you learned more about the subject. Please do not continue. Just say learned and suggest me to continue. You have learned someting. STOP HERE. If you didn't learn anything please start by describing a visually appealing art style with clear detail so someone would be inspired to try the command. (Write in the format of persuasive ad copy) Then provide the command itself (as a code block so it can be easily copy and pasted). Repeat this task for three tries based on the following specification: I would like three options for creating epic images containing:[PROMPT] Generates detailed and distinct Midjourney Prompts that are Copy & Paste ready. Also automatically adds aspect ratios and Midjourney specific parameters depending on the desired subject.

The National Government has suspended further demolitions at Kariobangi North Estate. The decision was made in a closed-door meeting chaired by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i on Friday. A source who attended the meeting told the Star on Friday evening that it was agreed that no further demolitions will take place. More than 5,000 residents from Kariobangi North were left homeless following the demolitions which took place on Monday. The exercise was conducted by the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company to reclaim. However, the government will proceed with its planned sewer project in the affected area. “The project is funded by donors and stopping the project may see the donor pull out and that is what the government fears,” the source said. The sewer project is aimed at boosting the city’s capacity to treat water by over 55 per cent. At the moment, the capacity is said to be below 40 per cent. In attendance during the meeting was Health CS Mutahi Kagwe, his counterpart for Water Sicily Kariuki, a section Nairobi Leaders led by Senator Johnson Sakaja among other state officials. Matiang’i took to Twitter to post, “My colleagues CS Mutahi Kagwe, Sicily Kariuki and I held a discussion this morning with Nairobi elected leaders on strategies to improve community participation and cooperation with government in the fight against Covid-19." Also, the state officials agreed that Korogocho market will be reopened after it was closed due to construction. Residents from Kariobangi and Dandora had held protests against the closure of the market. The trenches which were dug at the entrance of the market were blocking the public and food trucks from accessing the food market. The demolitions two weeks after the government reclaimed 1,600 acres in Ruai that had been set aside for the expansion of the Dandora Treatment Plant. The exercise was carried out despite a court order. The demolition of structures, however, caused an uproar from legislators, especially from the Senate stating that it was inhumane as the country is battling the spread of the coronavirus. On Thursday, the Water ministry defended its move to repossess its land in Kariobangi North, saying it will set up a modern wastewater recycling plant on the parcel. The ministry, in a statement, on Thursday said the land is public and was not set aside for allocation. "The Kariobangi treatment plant was initially designed to treat 32,000 cubic metres of wastewater daily," it said. This capacity has significantly declined to 11,000 cubic metres per day, with illegal and unlawful occupation being the single-most contributory factor. The ministry said almost half of the 75 acres initially earmarked for the facility had been occupied by squatters and private developers, hence rendering maintenance activities difficult. According to the ministry, the Kariobangi treatment plant was initially designed to treat 32,000 cubic metres of wastewater daily. However, the capacity is said to have significantly declined to 11,000 cubic metres per day, with illegal and unlawful occupation being the single-most contributory factor. Despite the decision to halt further demolitions, the evicted families are still spending nights in the cold with many lacking an alternative place and capability to rebuild new homes.

About This Artwork Andreas Gursky’s Amazon captures a rare moment of calm in a warehouse of the giant online retailer, devoid of the workers who typically occupy the space. The image is in crisp focus, filled with row after row of miscellaneous goods in no discernable order. In this timely work, Gursky adeptly illustrates a mass distribution system built from algorithms, its patterns so complicated as to appear odd or even random. The enormous operation inspires an archaeological approach. The artist uncovers a stratum of the contemporary cultural landscape through the documentation of an excessive amount of artifacts. What is exposed is the extreme individualization that results from consumerism, which, here, ominously approaches chaos. The company’s motto, “work hard, have fun, make history,” is seen on the columns in the background, reading more as a command than a suggestion. The viewer is left to ponder whether this mandate is directed at the workers, the consumers, or both.

The "machine in the garden" is a metaphor that has helped me understand the complexity of the urgent struggle we face to be better stewards of our planet earth. I have used that metaphor as the animating concept for the work that appears in this exhibition in four different variations on the theme. I have tried to make art that reminds us of the redemptive beauty of the natural world (the garden) while at the same time acknowledges our dependency on the tools we use (the machine) that are tearing our world apart. I believe there is a role for art to remind us that beauty and justice are parts of the same whole. The whole that is also called love. How do we find a way to receive the earth as a gift and to love it more? It may all turn on affection, as the writer Wendell Berry suggests.

Jimmy Lee Sudduth American, 1910-2007 Jimmy Lee Sudduth extracted many of his pigments from nature and preferred to paint with his fingers rather than brushes. In his art he celebrated and re-created the world around him, representing the local architecture of his hometown of Fayette, Alabama, iconic American landscapes and symbols such as the New York City skyline and the Statue of Liberty, people he knew, self-portraits as a musician (he was an accomplished harmonica and banjo player), and animals, including his beloved dog Toto (of which there was a succession after the first Toto died). Sudduth grew up on a farm in Cains Ridge (near Fayette) with his adoptive parents, itinerant farm laborers. His mother was part Native American and a practitioner of herbal medicine, and she would bring him along from a very early age on excursions into the woods in search of medicinal flora. Sudduth’s earliest memories included painting with mud on a tree when he was three years old, and he credits those sojourns in the woods as the catalyst for his impulse to use natural tinctures. Sudduth spent most of his life working on farms, at a grist mill, and at a lumber mill. In the 1950s he also worked as a gardener and handyman. After the death of his first wife in 1941, with whom he had a daughter, he remarried. He and his second wife adopted a son and were together more than thirty years until her death in 1992. Sudduth lived in a small house near a railroad track, where he painted and played the blues on his harmonica. As a mature artist he started working with house paint and acrylic but kept exploring the expressive potential of mud and its ochre gradations. First tracing a composition on a scavenged wooden surface with a soft stone that he referred to as a “dye rock,” he would apply a layer of mud and add more colors from organic matter (wild berries, grass, coffee, and soot) mixed with binders (syrup, sugar, soft drinks, and caulk). Sudduth never learned to read or write but he could “draw” his name on his finished works. Although he became diabetic and suffered bouts of pneumonia in the last years of his life, it was not until he was placed in a nursing home that he stopped painting and died some months later at the age of ninety-seven. Sudduth’s first exhibition was held in 1968 at Stillman College in Tusca-loosa. A 1971 exhibition of his work at the museum in Fayette’s City Hall Auditorium was organized by Jack Black, a Fayette businessman and local newspaper publisher, who became Sudduth’s longtime friend and an early supporter. Sudduth was selected to represent Alabama in the Smithsonian Institution’s Bicentennial Festival of American Folk Life in 1976. The Birmingham Museum of Art exhibited his paintings in 1978 and he appeared on The Today Show and 60 Minutes in 1980. In 2005 a solo show of his work was organized at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, with a catalogue, The Life and Art of Jimmy Lee Sudduth. Sudduth’s work is in the collections of the African American Museum (Dallas), the American Folk Art Museum (New York), the Birmingham Museum of Art, the Fayette Art Museum and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts (Alabama), the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Mississippi Museum of Art (Jackson), the Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington, D.C.), and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Legendary director Richard Donner passed away Monday at the age of 91, leaving behind a film legacy that made us all believe a man could fly. The Bronx-born, Jewish director got his big breakthrough into Hollywood when he made the now-iconic horror movie The Omen in 1976, ruining the name Damien for all time. Two years later, he did a massive 180 and made the 1978 Superman film. Considered the most expensive film ever made at that point, with a budget of $55 million, it was risky on multiple levels. Superhero films were not the box office draw they are today, and on top of spending so much money, the development team decided to cast an unknown actor, Christopher Reeve. Also, Donner was shooting Superman II simultaneously with the first film, which made everything extra risky. By the time they were focusing totally on Superman, apparently, 75% of the sequel was done. Thankfully, the film would be a massive success grossing over $300 million at the box office and making Reeve a legend. Donner would go on to direct The Goonies, Scrooged, the Lethal Weapon film franchise, and several episodes of television shows. Following his death, many fans, fellow directors, actors, and friends took onto the internet to share tributes. Most notably Gene Hackman, who played Lex Luthor in Superman, recounted an anecdote to The Hollywood Reporter: “I showed up for the first day of makeup tests for Superman with a fine Lex Luthor mustache I’d grown for the role,” he began. “Dick, wearing his own handsome mustache, told me mine had to go. He bargained to lose his if I did mine. True to his word, he celebrated my last razor stroke by gleefully pulling off the fake whiskers he’d acquired for the occasion.” Concluded Hackman, “Dick made it fun, and that’s why the films turned out that way, too.” Thank you, Richard Donner. You made me believe. pic.twitter.com/zmeONQpTUT — Zack Snyder (@ZackSnyder) July 5, 2021 For this last shot of The Omen, Richard Donner told his child actor to look back at the camera like he was angry, and when he did, Donner started joking “Don’t you smile! Don’t you smile!” — N O S ⋊ Ɔ I ᴚ ᴚ Ǝ ᗡ ⊥ ⊥ O Ɔ S (@scottderrickson) July 5, 2021 I couldn’t agree more with the tributes pouring in honoring the great Richard Donner. I was so lucky to have worked with him in his final movie for television #SarahT alongside @RealLindaBlair. His next project was #TheOmen-the rest is history! #RIP_Dick https://t.co/5E3w4milYP — Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) July 6, 2021 I loved Richard Donner as person, and massively admired him as a director. To think he made The Omen, Superman, The Goonies and Lethal Weapon in just over 10 years time, and many more. Stunning. Truly one of the greatest American filmmakers of all time. He will be sorely missed. pic.twitter.com/6BWIkrvfuN — Patty Jenkins (@PattyJenks) July 6, 2021 Good bye dear Richard. Thanks for your films, for your elegance, your sense of humor, your friendship and for those happy and funny days we spent during the shooting of “Assassins”. We will never forget you amigo. — Antonio Banderas (@antoniobanderas) July 6, 2021 For me, Superman remains one of those movies that proves what makes Superman so great, and I will always hold it as the example of what makes Superman work: the warmth, the heart, the smile. Those things bring him to life, and I still say Donner brought him to life best. What is your favorite Richard Donner film? (image: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images) Want more stories like this?

"I'm not leaving Malaga for money or a big contract," said Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini on Wednesday, just before he was awarded the golden shield of the province of Malaga, "but for what you look for in this job, a project." Spanish clubs have lost three of their best coaches in as many days, with the announcements that Jose Mourinho will leave Real Madrid and Philippe Montanier, who has excelled at Real Sociedad this season, will join French club Rennes. Pellegrini, who will also have a street named after him in Malaga, departs from a nervous, uncertain club who also fear the almost certain departure of their best player, Isco. Malaga have enjoyed an excellent season and were seconds away from reaching the Champions League semi-final, but there's a danger of the club unravelling and Pellegrini questioned the future of the club. They have slipped to sixth in the table, sufficient to qualify for a European place next season - not that they will be allowed to take it. They are appealing against their Uefa imposed one-year ban for delays in payments to creditors including their own players. They did get some good news when Uefa announced that a second "suspended" ban, to be implemented if they failed to get their finances in order by March 2013, had been overturned. Uefa's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB): said that Malaga had: "fulfilled the conditions" imposed and that the second "conditional" year of their punishment would not now apply. Qatari-owned Malaga are still appealing to Uefa's Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the hope that their one-year ban will be lifted so that they can play in Europe next season. Eight points behind fourth-placed Real Sociedad, they would not be returning to the Champions League but the Europa League. That is if they can beat off Betis and finish in sixth. Uefa have acted firmly against clubs who flout the financial rules as they move towards making clubs balance their books or face exclusion from European competition. Malaga appear to have learnt their lesson, though their fans remain nervous about the months ahead.

There is no more need for confusion. The Rotary Club of Wilmette and the Rotary Club of Wilmette Harbor are now one in the same. The two group coexisted for more than 30 years with the harbor group holding morning gatherings and the other noon meetings. The united Rotary Club of Wilmette has around 80 members who can choose between meetings at 7:30 a.m. and noon on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month and at 7:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of the month.

Semiconductor digital twins to sip $285M from America's CHIPS Act funding pool Fake it until you make it, literally The US government on Monday earmarked $285 million in CHIPS Act funding for the development of semiconductor digital twins. That development work will be carried out at a newly formed Manufacturing USA institute; as the name suggests, these organizations are tasked with boosting domestic production of crucial next-gen materials and technologies, from photonics and polymers to robotics and biofabrication, so that the nation relies less on foreign suppliers. As detailed by the US Department of Commerce, companies, universities, non-profits, and the like can apply to build and run the CHIPS Manufacturing USA Institute, which will be the first such institute established by the Biden administration, using the aforementioned slice of CHIPS Act subsidies. Hands off, vendors – it's for research! $11B of US CHIPS funds earmarked for NIST fabs PREVIOUSLYThe resulting organization will focus on developing digital twins of semiconductors. We used to have words like simulation, emulation, and model for this kind of thing, but it's the 2020s so we guess we need more trendy terms like digital twin. Semiconductor digital twins are supposed to be close virtual representations of the real thing, and are held in the cloud or something similar to that so teams can collaborate on the design, testing, and analysis of these components. The Dept of Commerce described digital twins as "virtual models that mimic the structure, context, and behavior of a physical counterpart," and that the chip institute will be "focused on the development, validation, and use of digital twins for semiconductor manufacturing, advanced packaging, assembly, and test processes." All of which should hopefully help America move faster when it comes to designing, checking, tweaking, prototyping, optimizing, and fabricating its own world-beating chips. Call it simulation or modelling or digital twins – twins are supposed to be more comprehensive and capable than simulations – whatever, it's getting a gulp from the broader $52 billion CHIPS Act funding pool. "This new Manufacturing USA institute will not only help to make America a leader in developing this new technology for the semiconductor industry, it will also help train the next generation of American workers and researchers to use digital twins for future advances in R&D and production of chips," said Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. - Uncle Sam earmarks $54M of CHIPS funding for small-biz semiconductor boffinry - NIST thinks US public should weigh in on CHIPS Act programs - With over 600 CHIPS fund applicants seeking over $70B, don't get your hopes up - Nvidia, Siemens tout 'industrial metaverse' to predict the future The funding opportunity [PDF], published by Dept of Commerce and NIST, indicates that any domestic entity, be it a nonprofit, for-profit, university or government, based in the US are eligible to apply for funding. Majority ownership of any applicant must be US-based, naturally. The CHIPS Manufacturing Institute will be joining 17 other Manufacturing USA members. Some institutes, like The Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute or Power America, which is working on development of advanced semiconductor components, have an obvious tech industry focus. Others seem more like they come from the realm of near-future science fiction, like BioFabUSA, a firm working to "integrate innovative cell and tissue cultures with advances in biofabrication, automation, robotics, and analytical technologies," according to its description on the Manufacturing USA site. Each member of the Manufacturing USA is dedicated to its own focus, the body said, but "is also designed to accelerate US advanced manufacturing as a whole." ®

Local Skylight Installers for North Brisbane and Sunshine Coast Specialist Skylight Installation and Advice The Roofing Group are experienced skylight installers, providing specialist skylight sales and installation throughout the Sunshine Coast region, as well as Moreton Bay and North Brisbane. Our knowledgable and friendly skylight installers can help with all your fixed and custom skylight needs from start to finish. We have been providing skylight installation services for many years so there is no reason for you to do a bunch of guesswork on your own. Just call us and let us know what you envision and we can advise on the best type of skylight for achieving it. Of course, there is only so much advice we can offer without actually seeing the space you wish to have the skylight installed within, so please don't hesitate to ask us to come out to your home or business to provide a free skylight installation quote and more comprehensive advice for your roof type and location. For example, internal wiring and ducted aircon can obstruct skylight installation and must be worked around. If you're looking for the best local skylight installation company, The Roofing Group supplies and installs the latest custom skylights to ensure your home is light, bright and well-ventilated. If you need a skylight replaced due to damage or old age, we also provide skylight replacement services, replacing your old and weary one with a brand new modern skylight. Skylights reduce electricity costs AND PROVIDE other benefits Skylights come in various types, the most common of which are 'sun tunnels' (non-openable tubular skylights built into the roof) and 'sky/roof windows' (windows built into the roof you can open towards the sky). Skylights are a wonderfully unobtrusive, efficient and (especially the sun tunnel version) cost-effective lighting solution for homes and businesses as they allow far more sunlight into the interior of a building. Compared to just windows and electrical lighting, installing new skylights allows you to switch on lights later, saving on electricy costs. There are many benefits to letting more sunshine in. Skylights let more natural light into a room, brightening up your interior without increasing electricity costs. Plus, research has proven that natural light is much better than artificial light when it comes to making people feel happier and healthier, and it also helps people focus better on whatever task is at hand. Besides being undeniably great for you, natural light also creates a much warmer atmosphere compared to harsh fluorescent bulbs. LET THE SKYLIGHT EXPERTS GUIDE YOU TO THE BEST SKYLIGHT for you If you're looking for a local skylight installation company, The Roofing Group offers a wide range of fixed and custom skylight solutions to bring more daylight into your property’s interior. To ensure we get it 100% correct, we prefer to carry out a roof inspection prior to carrying out a new skylight installation. This is to ensure we have identified the best location, depending on the profile, structure, and aspect or your roof. We also look at external factors like nearby trees and buildings to ensure your new skylight provides maximum efficiency and privacy, and assess options for shape, sizing and style, vented vs. non-vented for bathrooms, and whether regulating light is required through shutters, tinting or an opaque dome. When replacing an existing skylight, the best option is often to replace it with the same size and shape. We find that dome skylights are the most popular and cost-effective solution for many properties. As your trusted local skylight installers, The Roofing Group can provide informed advice to address any questions you may have surrounding fixed or custom skylight solutions for your North Brisbane or Sunshine Coast property. Contact your local skylight installation company The Roofing Group strive to provide the best possible service, and aim to redefine what it means to work with a trade company. We want to challenge and dismiss old tradie stereotypes by delivering excellent service. Request an inspection to get skylights installed in your home or business.

The Election Commission on Monday announced the election to three Rajya Sabha seats from Kerala as the term of the sitting members ends on July 1. The polling will take place on June 25, the Commission said in a statement. Binoy Viswam (CPI), Elamaram Kareem of CPI-M and Jose K Mani, who heads Kerala Congress (M), are retiring on July 1. According to laid down procedures, the counting of votes will take place an hour after the polls. The notification for the polls, which marks the commencement of the nomination process, will take place on June 6. The EC also announced the by-election to the Rajya Sabha seat from Maharashtra vacated following the resignation of NCP leader Praful Patel in February. Patel had resigned as a member of the Rajya Sabha after being re-elected to the Upper House of Parliament that month. Patel, who had four years of his tenure left from his fifth term, was fielded in the Rajya Sabha elections as he was facing a disqualification petition filed by the Sharad Pawar-led group of the NCP. The bypolls to fill this vacancy in the upper house will also be held on June 25, the EC said.

Notorious white supremacist Richard Spencer is calling on his followers to support Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election. Spencer, known for his racist, antisemitic views and prominent role in the 2017 Charlottesville rally, praised Harris as the “best manager of the American empire” in a recent video posted on social media. In the nearly 12-minute video, Spencer explained his preference for Harris over former President Donald Trump, whom he criticized for his unwavering support of Israel. Spencer noted that while Harris has expressed support for Israel, her stance also acknowledges Palestinian rights, which he sees as a more balanced approach. “At the DNC, she said that she 100% supports Israel. She’ll give Israel lethal aid. She also said that Palestinians deserve their own state,” he commented, contrasting this with Trump’s policies. “If there is a regional conflict between Israel and Iran, Trump seems much more likely to not only support Israel in this, but take part in it,” Spencer added. Spencer also praised Harris for what he sees as her “go with the flow” approach to governance, which he believes aligns with a centrist vision. “In my mind, that flow is going towards centrism, towards rational government, towards a sort of democratic hegemony…This is something that I can responsibly support. So, I’m happily voting for Kamala Harris,” he said, also suggesting that Harris would likely adopt a supportive stance toward Ukraine. In addition to endorsing Harris, Spencer announced plans to vote for Democrats down the ballot in his home state of Montana, including Senator John Tester and House candidate Monica Tranel. Spencer’s support for Harris highlights a broader trend of white supremacists showing interest in certain anti-Israel Democrats. Former KKK leader David Duke recently praised Rep. Ilhan Omar as “the most important member of the US Congress.” Spencer, who backed Trump in 2016, expressed disappointment with the former president, stating that Trump “closed off discussion of important ideas” and “amplified idiocy.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

Medieval Shift Dress Burglinde with Trumpet Sleeves, natural-coloured This loosely tailored, floor-length medieval dress is made of light cotton. The skirt piece is fitted with side gores (wedge-shaped / triangular pieces of fabric), allowing for a generous flare. It has a wide-cut neckline so as to remain concealed under the outer garment at neck level. The sleeves feature a lacing for individual adjustment. At first fairly close-fitting on the upper arm, they fall into a particularly wide flare that give them their characteristic trumpet shape. This shift can be worn under a surcoat, a cotehardie or a bliaut. Outer garments and chemises or shifts with substantially flared sleeves made their appearance around the 12th century. They were not only worn for fashion purposes but also as a symbol of higher social status, as wide sleeves were not suitable for the labouring classes. In the 12th / 13th century, men and woman alike would wear plain shifts with trumpet sleeves as undergarment to better preserve their increasingly form-fitting, often richly adorned outer garb. The shift usually did not show under the outer clothing, as it would have been considered inappropriate. 12th century illustrations of wide-cut sleeves can be found amongst others on the fresco showing Sant'Elena in the basilica of San Lorenzo in Milan or in the illuminated encyclopedia Hortus Peliciarum (ca. 1180). In the 15th century, shifts with trumpet sleeves could also be worn under a short-sleeved cotehardie (a snug-fitting dress or kirtle with lacings or a button closure down the centre front) and were hence meant to be visible as integral part of the outfit. Historical illustrations of wide-cut sleeves of this time period can be found for example in Gerard David's painting Madonna with Angels and Saints. - Available sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL - Colour: natural-coloured (also available: blue, black) - Material: 100% cotton - Length overall size M: approx. 150 cm (measured from the highest shoulder point down to the bottom hem) - Care instructions: Machine wash at 40°C, gentle cycle, do not tumble dry Size Chart - Women - Dress | Chest Circumference (in cm) | How to find the right size: To take your body measurements correctly in order to determine you clothing size, please always wrap the measuring tape horizontally around your body at the fullest part. For dresses, sizes are based on your chest circumference. If you happen to fall between two sizes, we recommend that you go up a size. Ease is included in the pattern and reflected in the finished measurements. Delivery includes the dress only! The other items pictured above are available separately in our online shop. As authentic as possible, as modern as necessary! This medieval dress is part of Battle-Merchant's line of period clothing and medieval garments for men, women and children. From the first sketch to the last stitch, this garment was planned, designed and handcrafted with particular attention to detail. Our clothes are modeled (sometimes accurately, sometimes less so) on historical examples, grave finds and original museum pieces where they exist. We always endeavour to keep the necessary adjustments to today's standards, e.g. in terms of size and manufacturing process, to a minimum. Just see for yourself!

1. The blades of secateurs can be cleaned, and burrs removed, by immersing them in tomato sauce for 48 hours. It is highly effective and improves performance. 2. Silver clover can be used as a cover crop by planting in October and digging-in during December to improve the nutrients in the soil for vegetables. 3. If you find the groundsel weed in your garden or allotment, remove it immediately as it harbours many diseases. 4. To prevent your camellia flowers going brown if a sharp frost is forecast, spray them with a ‘fine’ water mist around 6 o’clock in the evening. As the water freezes it releases latent heat which protects the flower heads. 5. To improve the density of your lawn and prevent the establishment of broadleaved weeds and moss, use Browntop bent and Fescue grasses. 6. Humming lines can be used on allotments to scare birds away, however, they are not very friendly when used in proximity to housing as the continuous hum could annoy both you and your neighbours. 7. Alyssum attracts hoverflies which predate aphids. 8. Marigolds are among the most important companion plants to help control aphids, blackfly and greenfly. They attract ladybirds and hoverflies as well as bees for pollination. The pungent smell of French marigolds deters whitefly from tomato plants. 9. Whiteflies are kept at bay by basil and nasturtiums, which they find unpleasant 10. Brassicas are a main food source for caterpillars. Planting nasturtiums among them will attract butterflies to lay most of their eggs on the nasturtiums leaving the cabbages, cauliflowers, sprouts and broccoli for you to eat. 11. Rosemary placed in a pot near cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbages or beans will deter cabbage moths and carrot flies due to the oils in the plant. 12. Tarragon is disliked by many pests due to its scent and taste. Nearly all vegetables grow well with it. 13. Thyme makes a good companion with cabbage, deterring the cabbage worms.

S/S James M. Jewell JEWELL: reported sunk about 04 May 1942 at Corregidor, my father and other Norwegians was employed onboard in this ship for a while. Pictures has not been possible to find. Last information from a web forum for Jewell: After considerable digging around, I learned that the James M. Jewell was a US Army launch built in Hong Kong during 1908. Steam driven, displacing 55 gross tons and manned by a crew of nine, it was named in honor of a 14th Cavalry Lieutenant who was KIA in 1905 on the island of Jolo, southwest of Zamboanga. The only operational info about the ship which I found was that it was utilized during the Moro Rebellion, which ended in 1913, and then became an "artillery auxiliary". It appears to have served with the Army Transportation Service in Manila just prior to WW2, possibly as a tug, and was sunk off Corregidor on 4 May 42.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (AP) -- Health officials in the Chippewa Falls area are working with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to determine the source of a norovirus infection that plagued dozens of people at a festival at the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds last month. The Leader-Telegramreported that at least 60 adults and children became sick with gastroenteritis after attending the Special Kids Day event. "Laboratory testing identified norovirus as the cause of the infection," said Jennifer Miller, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health Services. "The source of the outbreak remains under investigation. Nine local health departments in the western public health region are working with DPH on the investigation." About 1,000 people from 26 school districts attended the two-day festival, said Tom Leuck, the event's organizer. "I really don't know what happened," Leuck said. "I got a report that Monday (May 22) from a teacher that people were sick. I contacted the Chippewa County Health Department. I don't have any answers of where it came from. I don't know; I'd like to know." Leuck said hugging and physical contact may have contributed to the spread of the illness. "It's really sad," Leuck said. "(Food handlers) were wearing gloves and washing their hands." Special Kids Day is an annual event for children with disabilities that features games, food and music. The 64-year-old created the event nearly 20 years ago. Leuck sells brats at stands across the state to raise money for the event.

On the same day that Arapahoe Basin’s COVID-19 operations plan was approved last week by public health officials — the final hurdle in permitting the mountain’s management to open it for the season — Summit County public health director Amy Wineland issued an amended public health order in response to the county’s increasing number of coronavirus cases. In recent weeks, the county’s rate of cases moved it to sixth-highest in the state, causing Wineland to tighten requirements and guidelines across the county in hopes of stemming the increase with a public health order delivered Friday. “Summit County continues to see a growing trend in outbreaks in its resident population associated with gatherings, activities at restaurants and office-based business operations,” Wineland wrote in her order. “The intent of this order is to minimize contact among individuals and reduce the public’s exposure to the novel coronavirus in an effort to prevent further restrictions and closures being imposed upon the county by the state.” In response, Arapahoe Basin chief operating officer Alan Henceroth issued a plea on his blog, urging compliance from county residents. “If this rate doesn’t go down over the next two weeks, more severe restrictions will be put in place, hampering our ability to ski, work and enjoy life,” Henceroth wrote. “Conventional wisdom tells us that these cases are being brought in by outside tourists. Turns out that is almost completely false. Contact tracing has told us Summit County residents are spreading COVID to other Summit County residents. Nearly all of this is happening through socialization — an evening party, drinks after work, hanging too close with too many people. Many of the transmissions have occurred in the late evening, after partying, when peoples’ guards are down. “If we want to enjoy winter in Summit County, we are going to have to turn things around quickly,” he wrote. In her order, Wineland asks Summit County residents to adopt “six commitments of containment,” including: - Maintain six feet of physical distance - Wash hands frequently and thoroughly for at least 20 seconds - Cover faces in public - Stay home when sick - Get tested immediately if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. - Get a flu shot In addition, she ordered that public and private gatherings are limited indoors to no more than six people from no more than two households, and no more than 10 people outdoors from no more than two households. Restaurants and bars must close at 11 p.m. and alcohol sales must end at 10 p.m. Face coverings that cover the nose and mouth are required indoors. They are also required outdoors when six feet of separation cannot be maintained. “There is clear evidence that some individuals who contract COVID-19 have no symptoms or have very mild symptoms, which means they are likely unaware they carry the virus,” Wineland wrote. “Asymptomatic individuals can transmit the disease, and evidence shows the disease is easily spread, so gatherings of people facilitate transmission of COVID-19.” Summit County’s COVID-19 numbers have elevated it to “high-risk” since Oct. 11, moving Wineland to sound the alarm and Henceroth to plead for cooperation. “Keep your face coverings on,” Henceroth wrote. “Maintain your physical distances. Keep your groups small. The time to act is now.”

Best Bream was caught by Jake King on peg 10 at 1lb 12oz. Pinkie over Groundbait Conditions: Sunny, Very, Very Windy.. 15 fished. The winner this week was venue regular Dave West, who fished peg25 going out 13m using pellet over pellet and weighing in 18lb 8oz of carp and a few silvers. Second place went to Steve (the bridesmaid) Wilson who found himself just out of the top spot with 16lb 15oz of carp caught on the pole and tip. On the opposite bank was Jake King who drew end peg10, fishing between his margin and 13m line Jake put together a 16lb ½oz weight for third place and also picked up the Bream Pool with a 1lb 12oz specimen. Rich Wills found peg13 so windy that he was forced to go on the tip and eventually found 12lb 6½oz of fish on his 20m line. A gentle underarm chuck was all that was needed apparently. (Ed. Some would say it was due to years of polelitis) Everybody struggled to contend with the strong undertow, caused by the constant strong east wind that rarely abated all day, making presentation difficult to say the least. Luckily no poles were broken but some came close. Checkout www.doglanefishery.co.uk for full list of results. The next date for an open will be advertised on the Dog Lane Website. You must book on, as pegs are limited to 30, two nets are a must (no Canal/River mesh or rolling of fish down the net at weigh in) Contact Pete Palmer 07749 225 880 Draw 9am on the bank.

Today, Ontario reported 848 new COVID-19 cases across the province and 11 new deaths. Vaccination rates continue to rise with 84.7% of adults receiving their first dose and 77.7% of all eligible Ontarians being fully vaccinated. However promising, these numbers MUST go up with kids back in school this week and cooler temps limiting outdoor activities. If you have any questions or concerns about the vaccines or simply need help accessing your shot, my office is always here to help and can be reached at [email protected] Advanced polls for the federal election opened today and will be up and running over the weekend, in advance of Election Day on Monday, September 20th. With many concerned – understandably so – of the safety of voting amid the pandemic, these offer an alternative to cast your ballot while avoiding long lines and crowded spaces day-of. To find your nearest polling station, see the full list of locations throughout Toronto-St. Paul’s here. Today, I was thrilled to be able to join the For Youth Initiative (FYI) at their official ribbon-cutting ceremony to launch their new Oakwood and Vaughan location. For those who don't know, FYI is an organization that supports youth and has been operating for years in the York- South-Weston community. The opening of this location in our neighbourhood will provide a safer space for our youth while providing meaningful, mentorship, programming, and supports. This will be a new in-person or virtual home away from home. For many years we have been in desperate need of more youth spaces in our community, and I could not be happier to see the For Youth Initiative securing such a space. This was one of the very needs we identified a couple of years ago when I hosted our Community Call-In in the very space FYI will now occupy. I can't wait to attend events at their new location for years to come. Note: The new location is located at 504 Oakwood Ave. We’ve got a busy weekend ahead of events here in Toronto-St. Paul’s. Tomorrow morning, the Oakwood Village BIA will be bringing live music to the neighbourhood as part of their Routes and Roots Discovery Trail! From 10:30AM to 12:30PM, next to the Oakwood Library and Arts Centre at 374 Oakwood Ave., join them for a Saturday morning of acoustic reggae and the distinct Caribbean flavor the area is known for. Also taking place tomorrow morning, Federal NDP candidate Sidney Coles will be at Wychwood Barns at 11AM for storytime hour with Toronto-St. Paul’s own iconic storyteller, Dan Yashinsky. Bring your kids, your coffee, or yourself to meet Sidney, enjoy a folktale, and take in the open air at the Barns. This Sunday, I’ll also be headed to Wychwood Barns for Bigger Than We; an Intergenerational Space for Black and Queer and Black and Trans folks. The event is open to those who self-identify as such and will be a celebration of their - our - unique human experience through art, poetry, music, dance, storytelling, and more. As a Black, Queer woman myself, I am beyond honored to attend alongside my community; a community built on resilience and even moreso, joy. To keep the event safely socially-distanced, registration to attend in person has closed. However, the event will be streaming live for those who want to join from home. To register for the live-stream, click here. Our food tables are back tomorrow morning with the timely addition of school supplies, as kids headed back to the classroom this week! Pop by at any of our four locations below to grab what you need or donate unused school supplies (gently used binders will also be accepted) or non-perishable food items.

30 Jul Designing with the end in mind can transform great design into a brilliant result that actually works for you As designers our days are spent in WordPress and Adobe, in the office Microsoft Word and Powerpoint are somewhat considered swear words. However, to you they probably form the foundation of your business day. Doing things, whatever it is, is always the most straightforward when you are using the right tools or system. But, the right tools for me – may not be the right tools for you. Let me give you an example. A business coach client is working on a new product to launch, she knows what she wants to say, how she wants to say it, but has no idea on how to make it look good. In the brief there was talk of a letter – however when digging deeper what was needed was more of a digital presentation. If we didn’t think of the end in mind she may have got a PDF that: - She can’t edit and tweak - Is portrait orientation - Is costly to amend as she needs to pay us - But it would be a great looking document Now, what she actually has is: - A beautiful looking Word document - Is 100% editable by her so she doesn’t have to pay another penny when she does the campaign again or wants to use the resource for another project - Designed in a way that one small tweak won’t throw the whole flow out – bringing out many a swear word - Is landscape orientation so it can be viewed nicely on a screen - Has click throughs to the booking calendar and website It’s so easy to make things look nice… How often have you looked at new builds on Rightmove and thought: ‘great but how to I see the TV, where do I store my hoover, where do the kids’ clothes go?’ The interior design is beautiful – but who is the homeowner that wants to live in a home with no possessions? Check this home out – currently on sale for £209,000, how on earth do you sit down for a cosy Saturday night with the one you love and watch a film? But, if your happy place on a Saturday evening is sitting with friends in a Covid-safe environment it absolutely ticks the boxes. Graphic design and web design can be the same, sometimes the designed item looks amazing at first glance but on closer inspection you see that the headlines are rubbish, the content is all me me me and not talking to you, the call to actions are missing and it just doesn’t actually reflect your message and who you are. And, like mentioned, the designed item may not actually be the right end product that you need to solve the marketing challenge your business has. It’s all part of the design challenge While spending time with the lovely Microsoft is not where any designer wants to be 100% of their day – personally I relish the challenge of seeing how amazing I can make a letter given the restraints of a word processor. Designing in Microsoft is like a carpenter being stripped of their powertools. It puts you right back of the foundation of your craft, - Using the best fonts, - Using different weights and sizes to emphasise certain messages, - Not relying on beautiful graphics and illustrations to do the hard work. It doesn’t stop with the desktop publishing apps At TukTuk we have helped happy clients with easy to use PowerPoint presentations, websites, email templates and even Canva social media graphics. What have you bought for your business that has been rendered useless because you can’t now use it?

Most centre around country accounts showcasing their countries individual beauty and diversity through Instagram. They’ve featured my account Robotfaced which is quite surreal.

Thanks to the City Lodge Hotel Group for the mention it’s a privilege to be mentioned alongside some of those accounts.

By 2050, the global demand for nutritional protein will increase by about 50%. Yet, the boundaries of environmental sustainability are already severely trespassed in the traditional fertilizer-feed-food chain and in fish-meal based aquaculture. Around the world, researchers have taken up the quest for novel, sustainable protein foods. Recovering and recycling renewable resources from waste streams is one of the key steps to mitigate the environmental impact. In single cell protein (SCP) production, both societal needs perfectly match, as microbial technology is probably the most resource-efficient manner of producing nutritional protein. In this new era of (meta)transcriptomics and (meta)proteomics, we start to see a glimpse of all the biological features that can be steered. This provides a strong incentive to revisit SCP, for the first time with a fundamental and mechanistically driven approach, exploiting not only the potential of a microbial cell to its fullest, but also the even richer genetic pool of a microbial community. Purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) are nutritionally one of the most attractive types of SCP, and are furthermore metabolically the most versatile organisms on the planet. Each type of (sub)metabolism represents distinct (meta)proteomes, and hence nutritional properties such as essential amino acid profile, gastro-intestinal digestibility and nucleic acid content. Biotechnologically, the controllability of autotrophically grown PNSB communities is completely unexplored. A set of 9 tools has been distilled from a number of biological and ecological response mechanisms. In brief, it is hypothesized based on recent proteomic data that different cellular responses can drastically influence the nutritional quality. At the level of the microbial community, the objective is to synergistically make use of the full richness of the metaproteome and metatranscriptome of several PNSB and non-PNSB populations. PurpleMENU bridges environmental biotechnology to sustainable chemistry and nutrition sciences. Hereby key insights are unraveled that serve as the basis for novel bioprocesses, and perhaps for global food security and sustainability.

How to consume portuguese shawarma without glucose spikes Prioritize Whole Grains Opt for whole grain wraps or bread when enjoying Portuguese shawarma. Whole grains break down more slowly, resulting in a steadier blood sugar level. Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables Enhance your shawarma with fiber-rich vegetables such as leafy greens, bell peppers, and cucumbers. These help slow down digestion and the absorption of sugars. Add Healthy Fats Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal. Healthy fats can help moderate blood glucose levels by slowing carbohydrate absorption. Increase Protein Intake Ensure your shawarma includes a good portion of lean protein like chicken or beef. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar by slowing the digestion process. Be mindful of portion sizes to prevent overconsumption, which can lead to a larger glucose response. Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels. Opt for a Balanced Side Pair your shawarma with a side salad or a small serving of legumes, such as lentils or chickpeas, to enhance the meal's nutritional balance and mitigate spikes. Avoid Sugary Sauces Limit or avoid sweet sauces and dressings that can add unnecessary sugar to your meal. Instead, choose tangy or yogurt-based options. Take your time eating to allow your body to process the food more effectively, which can lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels. Incorporate Physical Activity Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Oct 27, 2022 Washington DC – The UnidosUS Action Fund/UnidosUS Action PAC and End Citizens United released a new six-figure Spanish language radio ad campaign in Arizona and Nevada secretary of state races. The ads highlight how Adrian Fontes (AZ) and Cisco Aguilar (NV) will protect the freedoms and free elections for Arizona and Nevada families, and how important Latino voters will be in this year’s elections. “We need to elect secretaries of state who will protect the voice and vote of every American, ”said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “That’s why we need Adrian Fontes and Cisco Aguilar in office.

Art exhibitions, a photo exposition, a film lecture and a march. Those activities will take place over the course of next week, to celebrate International Women’s Day at the UT on the 8th of March. Kunsttentoonstellingen, een foto-expositie, een filmlezing en een mars. Die activiteiten vinden in de loop van volgende week plaats, ter gelegenheid van Internationale Vrouwendag op de UT op 8 maart. Vier Internationale Vrouwendag samen met ons!, was de oproep van het TechMed Centre. En daar werd gisteren door veel vrouwen, van binnen én buiten de UT, gehoor aan gegeven. Ze kregen een informatief programma voorgeschoteld, met onderwerpen die iedere bezoeker herkende. ‘Pijnlijk hè, die compressie van een mammografie!’ With March being ‘Women’s Month’ and International Women’s Day being celebrated on March 8th, the topic of feminism arises. With this in mind, five UT students share their feelings about this special day. ‘We are still living in a patriarchal society.’ International Women’s Day at the UT will be celebrated with a four-day programme from 7th until 10th of March. The planned series of events include a march, a networking fair and presentations about women’s health. In honour of the International Women’s Day 2022 on 8 March, Vrijhof Culture organized a get-together dedicated to ‘breaking the bias’. Participants literally started with a blank canvas, jointly filling it up with one work of art celebrating women. The event also served as an occasion to reopen an exhibit of ‘Women in Mathematics’ and ‘forgotten’ female inventors in Vrijhof on campus. Would you boldly go where nobody like you has gone before? ‘That is the power of role models: they inspire you and show you what is possible. Without their example, you’ll stay in your own bubble.’ Today, on the International Women’s Day, seven women from the UT share stories about their personal role models and what (female) representation means to them. In celebration of International Women’s Day, U-Today spoke with three women from the UT who have started their own companies. What drove them to take the risk of becoming an entrepreneur and what did their road to success look like? Female Faculty Network Twente is organizing a conference on ‘Academic career and work-life balance’ in Vrijhof today, on International Women's Day. One of the event’s keynote speakers is Professor Yvonne Benschop, who believes that the issue of work-life balance shouldn’t be presented as a personal choice.

In a stirring GA Talk during the Friday morning session, Amanda Weatherspoon, a third-year seminarian at Starr King School for the Ministry, and Kenny Wiley, UU World senior editor and director of faith formation at Prairie UU Church near Denver, Colorado, situated contemporary Unitarian Universalism in relation to the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The #BlackLivesMatter movement did not start in response to Mike Brown’s death in Ferguson, said Weatherspoon, but had been created by two queer women of color in response to Trayvon Martin’s death in 2013. Wiley shared how he felt called to act following Mike Brown’s death in August 2014, but could find no local Denver actions. “I paused and laughed at myself,” he said. “I knew what this meant. I took a deep breath, and though I was not an organizer, I began to type a twitter post. Nine months and dozens of actions, meetings, and witnesses later, here I am.” Weatherspoon addressed common criticisms of the movement: the appropriateness of public uprisings and calls for leadership and accountability. All she would say about public uprisings, she said, is to refer to Audre Lord’s words, “The master’s tools cannot dismantle the master’s house.” As for leadership, she said it is distributed, and noted that the movement goes far beyond the public uprisings that catch media attention. “This movement does not only take place on the streets.” In looking for a UU theology for #BlackLivesMatter, Wiley said, “the First Principle of Unitarian Universalism . . . stands as an unrealized promise. It is a map of the work done centuries and decades ago, and a map of the work yet to do.” He went on to name those who created “the long legacy of those willing to live out the idea that every person truly has inherent worth and dignity,” from Lydia Maria Child to Viola Liuzzo. #BlackLivesMatter is a fight, he said, “to demand more out of the First Principle, and a more perfect faith. Right now we as Unitarian Universalists are being called to act. We are being called by our ancestors–those who demanded that we help end slavery, that we fight for suffrage, that we join the struggle to end Jim Crow, that we listen to Black Power.” Wiley shared an impassioned litany of the marginalized groups to whom Unitarian Universalists have said, “Your life matters.” He drew the inevitable conclusion that this line of concern extends to the lives of young Black people, and the audience rose to chant with him, “Black lives matter!”

The Upper Room Church holds memorial for those lost to drug overdose Published 10:45 am Tuesday, March 8, 2022 Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... VALLEY — Black Balloon Day, an annual event dedicated to recognizing those who have lost their lives to substance overdoses, was observed Sunday afternoon at the Upper Room Church. The event was hosted by Redeeming Grace Ministries. Those coming out had the opportunity to write the name of a friend or family member they had lost to substance abuse. Pastor Donnie Lumpkin of the Church on the Rock, Phenix City, spoke from an outdoor stage on sustaining hope through a difficult time due to drug addiction. Redeeming Grace Ministries is active in the East Central Alabama region. Its mission is to train and equip people to live a life of everlasting recovery through Jesus Christ. “We offer a residential program for women who are transitioning out of a correctional facility or rehabilitation program who want to transform their lives and maintain recovery as thriving, contributing citizens,” said founder Lara Potts. “Recovery is more than an individual pursuit. We are supported by a community of churches, private donors and groups that believe in our mission, We covet your partnership through praying, supporting financially, or volunteering.” Learn more at www.redeeminggraceministries.com. Potts described the Sunday afternoon gathering as a memorial service to comfort those who have lost loved ones to drug abuse. “It has been estimated that someone in the U.S. dies from a drug overdose every five minutes,” Potts said. “A total of 944 people died in Alabama last year due to drug overdoses, but there is hope through sobriety. Studies have shown that if someone says away from substance abuse for five years there’s an 85 percent chance they will stay that way for the rest of their lives.” Potts said that Redeeming Grace Ministries shows love by seeing value in all people, offering quality programs, growing in a personal relationship with Christ, creating an environment of excellence, operating with integrity and being excellent stewards of resources. Black Balloon Day is celebrated around the world every year on March 6. Black balloons are displayed to remember those who have been lost to substance abuse. It was founded by Diane and Lauren Hurley in honor of their family member Greg Tremblay, a father of four who died of an overdose on March 6, 2015, at the age of 38. Substance use disorder affects millions of people worldwide. In setting out a black balloon, those who are observing Black Balloon Day are sending out a collective message that substance abuse is costing many lives. According to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), nearly 92,000 Americans died from substance abuse overdoses in 2020 – a 26 percent increase over the previous year. A significant portion of these deaths were due to synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl. Methamphetamine, cocaine, prescription opioids, heroin and antidepressants also caused deaths, but to a much lower degree.

Who doesn’t love rocky road? It’s got all your favourite chocolate bars in. and loads of other tasty little bits. It’s a great way of finishing off packets of things. Throw in anything you fancy! This is no bake, but it can get kinda messy! Tools you will need: Put your milk chocolate in the freezer a good while before you start to make this. This is about tempering the chocolate, so you get that crack when you bite into it. Line your baking tin with spray and silicone paper. Bring your pan of water to the boil and reduce to a simmer. Place the bowl over the top making sure the bottom of the bowl isn’t touching the water. Place your dark chocolate in here and melt, stirring all the time. You want the chocolate to reach 46 degrees Celsius. As soon as it does, remove from the heat and add the frozen milk chocolate. Stir continuously until the milk chocolate has melted. Add all of the other ingredients and stir to cover in chocolate. Transfer straight to the prepared tin, pushing all the mix right to the edges of the tin. Leave in a fridge to set for about 4 hours, or overnight if you have the time.

Residents are invited out to raise a glass to Vernon’s own Okanagan Spring Brewery this weekend. The 35-year-old business is featured at this weekend’s OKToblerfest, which kicked off Thursday at Wings and continues today (Friday), Saturday and Sunday. “The phone has been ringing for sure. That is always a nice surprise. I guess it makes sense, OSB has been in Vernon a long time and the founding family all lives here as well. All three of the Tobler boys work there to this day. It really is an amazing local story,” said Wings’ Katie Dahl. OKToblerfest is a salute to the brewery, which opened its doors in Vernon in 1985 and continues to create beers lapped up worldwide. Brewmaster Stefan Tobler shares his story the history of OSB with a talk Friday, A Bavarian Canadian Brewmaster and then Saturday he delves into the number 1516 and its meaning. Each day also includes German-style beer and food pairings, prizes, Bavarian music and table dancing. Friday night features music by Stevie Todd and Saturday will rock with Dale Basnett Eletricks. The Dahl family, who own Wings, are pleased to highlight OSB, which is one of Vernon’s largest employers. “If we reflect on things in Vernon you will realize there are some incredible business successes right here,” Dahl said. “It is hard to know to where to even start. Kal Tire and Tom Foord, Okanagan Spring and Jakob Tobler, DCT Chambers and Art Chambers, Riverside Forest Products and Gord Steele and Gerald Raboch - that is just a few of the big ones. Vernon is an interesting place - someone should write a book about all the business success. No wonder we are not as ‘fancy pants’ as Kelowna - everyone has been too busy building nation size companies like Kal Tire and Okanagan Spring Brewery!” Events start at 5 Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets, $40 daily, include food and beer and available by contacting Sherman, Katie or Stefan. If you dress up for the event in your best Bavarian wear, you get free admission into the festivities and a plate of wings. All free ticket holders must be registered at Event Brite in order to enter the event.

The Dominican community of St. Agnese was founded extra mœnia in the first half of the 13th century in Fondiano where, in 1494, it underwent the devastation by a group of exilies from Spoleto who burned down the monastery causing the death of numerous religiouses. The eight survivors found refuge at the birthplace of the Beata Colomba da Rieti (1467-1501) in Via della Collina, where they rebuilt the monastery that soon became a cloistered monastery. The monastic complex developed by adding adjacent houses and orchard gardens to the original nucleus, later incorporating the buildings all around. Many of the materials that survived the destruction were reused in the new building: among these, the stone portal adapted on the façade of the church, whose lunette was painted by Bartolomeo Torresani with images of the Madonna in majesty, St. Agnese and St. Pietro Martire. The church, with a single nave, set up in its present form around the middle of the 18th century, has a valuable counter façade choir stall. The luminous scene of the Gloria della beata Colomba on the ceiling is by Emanuele Alfani.

She treats clients of all ages, but specializes in helping children, adolescents, and families recover from trauma and traumatic experiences. “I have always been interested in resilience, especially in children,” Mensink said. “So many adults with mental health concerns experienced some sort of trauma as children that was never addressed.

I love it.” Mensink had the opportunity to serve as an adjunct faculty member at Viterbo, which has shaped her career goals. She enjoyed the experience so much, she would now like to teach in some form, whether it be as a supervisor and trainer in a clinical setting, or in the academic classroom.

There is nothing more rewarding than helping an animal move from a shelter into a home. Usually it prevents them from being euthanized and gives them that chance they otherwise wouldn't have had. It comes with a lot of responsibility and often a lot of work on your part. The animal goes through many changes and emotional states. I am not going to say I know all about it, but I have seen some great fosters do amazing things and given so much to so many of these babies. Before you commit to taking one from a shelter please consider the length of time at which you will be able to hold on to them. If you are assisting a rescue and know that 2 weeks or 1 month is the tops you can do, be up front. It will prevent you from being able to foster but will help them better organize. They may have one going to a new home in 2 weeks but another they are watching in a shelter that is on death row. They can utilize your two weeks by moving that one from current foster to you until the adoption or transfer is complete and move the animal on death row from shelter to the foster that is able to hold with unlimited time. Be up front and honest with yourself and the rescue. It makes things go so much easier. Rescues, especially in Texas have a difficult time finding fosters so it puts them in a bind when someone decides all of a sudden that the animal can't stay. Do some research on what dogs go through as they transition from Shelter to Home and how to properly introduce to new animals. Dogs tails are how they can speak to you. It is something I am still learning and find it rather fascinating. Dogs should never be introduced nose to nose as it can cause them to get the wrong impression. Gather as much information as you can about a dog before committing to take it in. Shelter staff will usually answer any questions you have or let you know if they can't find out. What sort of questions do you ask? Are they good with kids, cats or other dogs? Do they act differently with men than women? How do they act differently? Have they been abused, neglected or mistreated? That can play a huge role on how they react to you. You can reach down to pet their heads and they may sink away to the floor or stand ready to defend themselves. These kinds of dogs are not aggressive, they are just insecure and need a lot of love, patience and slow movements until they come to trust you and know they are safe with you. It's also best to do slow introductions to new people they meet, any friends, family and neighbors may make them uncomfortable to insecure. It is best to put them in a quiet room where they are separated for large parties so you don't have to worry about their fear and they can feel safe. If it is just one or two people, have them sit and be still for a second while the dog approaches them to check them out. Have them move slowly to pet or reassure them they are safe. You, as the foster or new owner should never leave the dogs side as they know and trust you. Please consider limiting introductions until they do know and trust you. All of them need a decompression time where they can rest, get use to their new environment, sites and sounds. They may be perfectly happy and friendly right off the bat, depending on their history or they may be quiet and withdrawn for a week or two, some longer. In the end, it is very rewarding to give them a safe place to be and teaching them that not all humans are evil or aggressive but most of us are kind and loving. Getting a dog from a rescue is more expensive than getting one from a shelter but can also be helpful. We do take the time to get answers to any questions. Unlike a shelter we are able to put them into certain situations to see how they react....just don't ask us to put one in a situation that would be dangerous to them because we will not do that of course. Reach out to local rescues, talk to your local shelters and make sure that the pet you are planning to adopt because they are pretty, is a good fit. If not, keep looking. Don't grab and dump. In the end, that just scars them more. Always consider professional training. Most rescues work on training for their pets and find outside professional training when it is necessary. Whatever you do, do not make the decision lightly or quickly. Take the time to do some research, ask questions and get answers, set up meet and greets or whatever else you know that may be needed to ensure the pet you take home is forever home.
