We live in a world that is constantly changing. The younger generations have grown up with computer technology from the time they were born. It comes naturally to them.
We want technology to come naturally to everyone. Our objective, at The Bridge To Now, is to enable the generations who have built this country to continue to contribute. They should not feel as though they have been "phased out" just because the tools they grew up with may have been.
We are High school students who have been lucky enough to be growing up with a very close relationship with each of our Grandparents and Great Aunts and Uncles. We have a strong admiration for them and their generation. The people of their time built this country and we all have much to learn from them still. Our older brother started The Bridge To Now to be here to help them understand how to use the current methods of technology which have revolutionized the way we communicate and do business today.
We offer this service FREE of CHARGE. It is our way of saying thank you for all you have done in your lives to give my generation so many of the opportunities that we now have in ours.
We are here to help you:

Blue Sky Bliss
When it comes to business, the term "Blue Sky" is often misunderstood. Buyers might shy away from blue sky because of the misconception that there is no real value. Blue sky businesses get passed over all the time due to the question, "Why would I buy a business with little to no assets?" The answer: intangible assets are arguably more important than physical assets.
Brand Equity — A business can set itself apart from others based solely on consumer perception. How consumers feel about a product is imperative to a brand's overall value. This is a tremendous part of the premium paid as a goodwill by a buyer to a seller during an acquisition. While brand equity is not a physical asset, consumer perception of a business has value that helps increase sales in any company.
Intellectual Property — The value of intellectual property (creativity, technology, design) is immeasurable when it compares to physical assets. Patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets are all examples of this type of intangible asset that provides financial worth to a company.
Customer Lists — It takes years to build a plum customer list and it has a decidedly important future value for any business. A solid business has the expectation of repeat customers, which creates value for customer-related intangible assets. All businesses look to build on interactions with previous customers to sell their products and services in the future. A customer list is invaluable.
Goodwill — The intangibles are more valuable than the tangibles. They can be challenging to value, but companies should calculate their fair value. They are the result of grit, dedication and backbone.
A word to the wise: don't shy away from the Blue Sky Bliss. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

"Jessica Sitomer's book reminds me of the old adage: 'Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.' There is no shortage of books on bookshelves in bookstores offering up the Hollywood hopeful a fish (or in most cases, something fishy). Sitomer provides a strategy on how to create a career so you will work (and eat!) for a lifetime."
-Andrew Kreisberg, Executive Producer, Arrow, Writer, Boston Legal, The Simpsons
"Jessica with AND.ACTION! has created a productive and effective way of not only guiding the reader through a method of setting attainable goals but also providing for them an enjoyable process in the journey of self discovery."
-Ana Lucia Cottone, Television Programming Executive
"Thinking outside the box and nurturing relationships is the key to being a successful actor. Jessica Sitomer's AND.ACTION! will teach you how to do this. The same career building tools she shares here will also help you balance your life when you get to wear many hats in this field. Run to get this book!"

There's nothing new about strength training. It's one of the oldest forms of physical fitness and, in the last few years, it's made its way back into the forefront of the industry. With strength workouts gaining popularity in group class bookings and trending on social media, the hype is real but it's not unfounded. Incorporating strength training into your regular movement routine can improve everything from muscle and bone health to mental health, and is even linked to reducing all cause mortality. But don't take our word for it, let the numbers do the talking.
When it comes to muscle mass, it's a use it or lose it situation; studies show that after the age of 30, adults average a loss of 3-8% muscle mass per decade. Consistent strength training decreases those numbers, as well as helps to lower the risks that come with muscle mass loss. This includes increasing bone density by up to 3% per year and reducing the risk of falls in older adults by up to 40%.
Still on the fence? Consider this: a study completed by the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found that people who lifted weights 30-60 minutes per week exhibited an average of 20% lower all cause mortality rate. That's an incredible benefit that can be accessed with less than 8 minutes of strength training every day.
If we're honest, that last statistic really sold us, and yet there are even more reasons to commit to regular strength training:
- Get better sleep: strength training can get you an extra 40 minutes of sleep per night
- Get loose: it can lead to a 30% improvement in mobility + flexibility
- Get happy: it's shown to significantly reduce symptoms of chronic stress, anxiety, and depression
One of the best parts about strength training workouts is that they come in all shapes and sizes so they're easily accessible. They are simply any workout based around muscle contraction rather than cardio endurance, which can range from heavy lifting at your local gym to pilates classes, resistance training, and even a sculpt class with the ness. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Princess Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, a daughter of Dubai ruler, His Highness Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, announced her apparent intention to divorce in a "far too personal" Instagram post.
"Dear Husband, As you are occupied with other companions, I hereby declare our divorce,” Her Highness posted to her spouse, Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum.
Princess Sheikha Mahra, 30, married Sheikh Mana during the summer of 2023, but their union has reportedly been doomed by repeated counts of infidelity and suspicions.
The princess added: "I divorce you, I divorce you, and I divorce you," apparently flipping the script by alluding to the Islamic tradition of triple talaq, which permits husbands to end their marriages by repeating "I divorce you" three times.
"Take care. Your ex-wife," Her Highness signed off.
As a part of the influential Al Maktoum family, Sheikha Mahra holds a significant position within the UAE's ruling elite. She has pursued higher education internationally and has diverse interests, including equestrian sports, fashion, and philanthropy. Known for her active presence on social media, Sheikha Mahra shares glimpses of her life, interests, and charitable activities, earning popularity among younger demographics.
The "fashionable" Dubai princess' efforts focus on women's empowerment, education, and cultural preservation. Additionally, she is recognized for her love of clothing and beauty and frequently attends prominent events and fashion shows. Sharing her father’s passion for horses, she actively participates in and promotes equestrian sports in the UAE.
For many, Sheikha Mahra embodies a blend of traditional values and modern sensibilities, contributing significantly to both social and cultural spheres within the UAE.
This bombshell follows additional troubles in other royal marriages within the last year.
The Spanish monarchy could be set for crisis mode as King Felipe VI is reportedly "crushed" over Queen Letizia's alleged affair. Her Majesty was spotted dressed down in a lightly-colored lavender suit with white sneakers at the annual call for applications for the Social Projects of Banco Santanderâ in Madrid, Spain, on Tuesday, June 11.
According to the book Letizia's Silences by Spanish journalist Jaime Peñafiel, which was released recently, it is alleged that during a visit to New York in 2011, the then-Princess of Asturias renewed her relationship with Jamie del Burgo, described as her "lover."
Peñafiel suggested that Felipe was well aware of Letizia's alleged infidelity, as her security detail was required to keep him informed of her movements in real time.
Reports of infidelity and possible divorce also followed Denmark's King Frederik X and Queen Mary, but "rapidly disappeared" when the pair became the nation's monarch and consort following Queen Margrethe II's abdication on January 14.
People reported on the princess' social media post. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Independent Portfolio Consultants (IPC) has transferred 1,400 client accounts worth over $1 billion away from troubled broker-dealer Jesup & Lamont Securities Corp. to the broker-dealer subsidiary of Clearbrook Financial, according to a Tuesday, August 10, news release.
The deal closed just two months before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. (FINRA) suspended New York City-based Jesup & Lamont in July for failure to comply with a net capital rule. With its ability to make money essentially shut down by FINRA, Jesup & Lamont has seen both clients and advisors scurry for the exits. Efforts to reach Jesup & Lamont were unsuccessful; the firm's website is no longer publicly available. FINRA's BrokerCheck lists regulatory action taken against Jesup for compliance violations.
Clearbrook Financial's subsidiary, Managed Account Services (MAS), will provide broker-dealer and administrative services for IPC, including trade and clearing support, fund and asset transfer, regulatory, and related services. IPC client assets will continue to be custodied with First Clearing LLC, an affiliate of Wells Fargo Bank.
"The transfer occurred in May, and account conversion is now complete. It was incredibly smooth," said Clearbrook Managing Principal John Morris in a phone interview. "All IPC clients were notified of the transfer, and no clients had any complaints."
Morris added that his firm "didn't know anything that was going on" with Jesup & Lamont's compliance issues. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Arakan (Rakhine State): A Land in Conflict on Myanmar’s Western Frontier
Rakhine State, historically known as Arakan, represents the post-colonial failures of Myanmar in microcosm: ethnic conflict, political impasse, militarisation, economic neglect and the marginalisation of local peoples. During the past decade, many of these challenges have gathered a new intensity, accentuating a Buddhist-Muslim divide and resulting in one of the greatest refugee crises in the modern world. A land of undoubted human and natural resource potential, Rakhine State has become one of the poorest territories in the country today.
Arakan (Rakhine State): A Land in Conflict on Myanmar’s Western Frontier (PDF, 9.06 MB)Tiempo medio de lectura: 90 minutos*
အာရကန် (ရခိုင်ပြည်နယ်) - မြန်မာနိုင်ငံ အနောက်ဘက်ဒေသမှ ပဋိပက္ခမြေ (PDF, 29.34 MB)Tiempo medio de lectura: 90 minutos*
The current crisis is often characterised as a “Buddhist Rakhine” versus “Muslim Rohingya” struggle for political rights and ethnic identity. But the challenges of achieving democracy, equality and the right of self-determination have always been more complex and nuanced than this. Arakan’s vibrant history reflects its frontline position on a cultural and geo-political crossroads in Asia.
Taking a narrative approach, this report seeks to analyse the challenges facing Rakhine State and its peoples during a critical time of transition from military rule. As always in Myanmar, a balanced understanding of local societies and perspectives is essential in a territory that reflects different ethnic, religious and political viewpoints. In the case of Rakhine State, the social and political challenges facing the peoples have been little documented or understood. Decades of civil war and international isolation have resulted in a dearth of reporting on the ethnic conflicts and governmental failures that have had a devastating impact on the ground. Equally resonant, the instabilities in Arakan cannot be separated from the challenges of peace and inclusion for all peoples and faiths in the sub-Asian region.
The situation is critical. While armed conflict and humanitarian suffering continue in northern Rakhine State, a new “great game” is underway as the United Nations, China, India and other international actors seek to engage over Arakan’s political and economic future. It is vital that the voices of the local peoples are heard. Rakhine State should not be considered a peripheral or exceptional case of ethno-political crisis in modern-day Myanmar. The ambition must be that in the coming decade Rakhine State becomes a model for informed and progressive change. Equality and justice for Arakan’s peoples are integral to peace and stability in the country at large.

There’s no question about it that motherhood on its own can be stressful. Balancing work and motherhood is quite a task. For the stressed-out working mom, Monday through Friday is broken up into three periods:
- First, the incredibly rushed and panicked hours getting everybody fed for breakfast, getting dressed, and getting the older kids ready for school. Plus you have to get yourself ready too.
- Second is the actual work day. This may be, for many, a respite from the stresses at home.
- Third, is pulling into the driveway and wondering, “What emergency fires at home am I going to have to deal with next?”
We won’t pretend in this short article that we can make your life a rose garden, but we do have some stress relief tips for the stressed-out working mom.
Prepare everything you can in advance
This is our number one tip, be prepared. What does this mean? Know what everybody is having for breakfast, cook the eggs and bacon the night before, then heat them up in the microwave in the morning. Have everyone’s clothes, including your work clothes, picked out the night before. Have gas in your car so you don’t have to start your daily commute fifteen minutes late while hunting for a gas station. If you have older kids, put them in charge of packing the lunch boxes.
Do everything you can to literally prepare before work, and you may have 20 minutes to stop off at Starbucks and totally de-stress phase one of your day over a cup of coffee or tea.
Go home 30 minutes late
Instead of rushing out in the parking lot intending to hop on the freeway, leave 30 minutes for me-time. Find a quiet place to work, exercise in the company gym, take a dip in the pool at the YMCA, or chat with a friend. Your life is more than your husband and your family. Enjoy at least 30 minutes just relaxing.
Get a great bed
Nothing says relaxation like a great bed. You don’t need to spend a fortune, but you shouldn’t skip either. One of our favorites is a king size mattress by Purple. Getting a good night’s rest is one of the best things you can do to invest in your health and your sanity.
The thing that hampers most moms, as well as children, is routine. The same stuff on different days is a common complaint. Everyone feels that way. Whether you live in a half-million-dollar, ultra-modern house, or a modest apartment, boredom quickly sets in.
Todays-woman.net suggests a family camping trip to break out of the rut. You don’t have to travel 100 miles to get there. Instead, break out of the family tent and camp out in the living room. Children can even pretend to be wild bears or coyotes treating the (candle) campfire. Trust us, it’s almost as good as the real thing.
Wonder Mom to the rescue
Delight the kids and remind them of just a few of the sacrifices you make by ordering pizza and then dashing into the garage to quickly change into a wonder woman costume. The kids can then hurry to their rooms and put on their goofiest clothes. You can all laugh until you are blue in the face.
Have a family talent show
Sick of everyone zoning out over video games, the television, or their cell phones? Have a family talent show. Whether your five-year-old pretends they are a lion tamer with the family dog, or your pre-teen daughter lip-syncs a song to her favorite singer, or you host a round of karaoke, everyone has a talent. For a few moments, everyone will feel the bond of the family.
Stage a fashion show
Give everyone in the family 15 minutes to show up in the costume of their choice. Have someone be responsible for decorating the family dog or cat. Once everyone is gathered, make it as real as possible, and give small gift prizes to the winners.
Life is like a box of chocolates
Paraphrasing Forrest Gump, “Life is like a box of chocolates,” but if you break out of the rut of the routine, it can be quite a delicious ride. We hope the above tips will help you de-stress and enjoy life more. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

1. Make sure glass/plastic is clean from any hand oils or dirt and dry. (Avoid using alcohol because our wraps are not alcohol friendly)
2. Peel design transfer off backing.
3. Place the transfer on the cup ensuring design is straight and positioned correctly.
*Note: The adhesive is very strong. Once the transfer touches the glass its impossible to take off.
4. Press the transfer down, working from the center outwards, pushing out any air bubbles. We also recommend using a hand applicator squeegee to get rid of any excess bubbles.
5. Rub all over the design with your fingers. The more rubbing the better to ensure that the design is fully seated on the cup.
6. Carefully peel clear film off and you’re done!
We ONLY recommend hand washing. We DO NOT advise putting in the dishwasher or microwave. Avoid extreme heat and harsh chemicals.

Back around 20 years ago, when we lived in Hoboken, we'd get in our car every single weekend and drive out to Nutley to have lunch at Little Saigon. Without fail. I can't imagine how many times we went to that place. And then we moved, and kind of moved on to different routines. And then Little Saigon burned to the ground in 2003. It was a big loss for the area, what with it being one of maybe two Vietnamese places around (and the best, I'd say).
Fast forward a few years, and the owner, Nghia, reopened Little Saigon in a much larger space in Montclair. We enjoyed a few meals there, but it never seemed the same.
Fast forward a few more years, and Little Saigon suddenly closes, and reappears back in Nutley as Huong Viet. Happy days.
We started as we always do, with spring rolls. I've been of the opinion that the spring rolls here are the best in all the land. And my opinion is correct. I don't know if it's a different wrapper that they're using, or what. But these are the gold standard as far as I'm concerned. Wrap 'em in that lettuce with a piece of mint and a blast of sriracha, dip in the nouc cham, and you've got yourself one glorious treat. Four of those glorious treats, in fact. Unlike some of the other places where you have to twist arms to get enough lettuce, Huong Viet brings out a big plate with more than enough. This is good.
I've had banh mi-on-the-brain for a few months now. Too often the descriptions on menus seem to describe a boring version of this classic sandwich. I rarely see pâté mentioned, for example. But at Huong Viet, you're getting what I have to think is the real deal. They even gut the bread so you get a balanced sandwich. Banh mi are awesome, bright, herbaceous sandwiches.
We've been comparing pho at restaurants to Huong Viet's for over 20 years. And they always fall short. It was great getting back to a proper pho. The broth is deep and rich, with a nice dose of star anise. As with the spring rolls, for me Huong Viet's pho is the gold standard. Accept no imitations.
The move with rare beef pho is to ask for the beef on the side. You'll get a plate of raw meat, which you can put in your pho as you go. It had been so long that I had forgotten my move! I think I've forgotten more than a few moves over the years.
Another thing that hasn't changed in two decades seems to be the price. Those three dishes (our entire lunch) ran 18 bucks and change. A finer value you will not find.
I've been recommending this place for longer than most food instagrammers have been alive. So trust me on this one. I'm old and know things damnit.

Do you have cellulite on your buttocks? Does your cellulite make you feel self-conscious about wearing your favorite pair of shorts or bikini? At Total Dermatology, we strive to deliver the best cellulite treatment Irvine has to offer.
Even though you’re not alone – in fact, 90% of women have cellulite – this condition can still be a major drag on your self-confidence. That’s why it may be time to introduce yourself to the Qwo® Cellulite Treatment, the first and only FDA-approved injectable for moderate to severe cellulite.
The Qwo Cellulite Treatment is now available at Total Dermatology in Irvine, CA
The Qwo Cellulite Treatment is a prescription injectable that’s approved by the FDA to treat the main cause of moderate to severe cellulite: the fibrous septae.
Think of the fibrous septae like it’s an elastic band. Cellulite is caused when the fibrous septae pushes fat tissue up to the surface of the skin, causing the dimpling that’s common with cellulite. This is why diet and exercise may not help cellulite because the root cause of it is the pressure on fat tissue caused by the fibrous septae.
The Qwo Cellulite Treatment breaks up the pressure caused by the fibrous septae, resulting in an improvement in cellulite symptoms.
You’re a good candidate for this cellulite treatment if you have moderate to severe cellulite symptoms on the buttocks. The Qwo Cellulite Treatment cannot be used on any other part of the body.
A typical Qwo Cellulite Treatment can be performed within an hour-long treatment session.
During this session, your Total Dermatology Irvine cellulite treatment technician will be injected into the fatty tissue of the buttocks. You may receive up to twelve injections per treatment area.
Results can include a reduction in the dimpling that’s so common with cellulite.
You may need three separate sessions (spaced at least 21 days apart) to see your best results.
Downtime is minimal. Most of our Irvine cellulite treatment patients experience soreness and bruising at the injection site. You may be advised to avoid sitting and sleeping on your back for the first few days after your treatment.
When it comes to your skin and your health, it really is all about what’s best for you. Total Dermatology understands this, which is why we offer versatile treatments with experienced and highly trained aesthetic professionals led by Dr. Nissan Pilest. Your Total Dermatology transformation awaits. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
When you think about injuries, a wide spectrum of things can happen. However, some injuries are much more serious than others. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are among the most severe injuries that can happen to us. The consequences are potentially lifelong.
When you need a Kansas City traumatic brain injury attorney, Townsend Law, LLC is ready to help. If another person’s negligence has caused you or a loved one harm, we will work to secure the compensation you need.
Traumatic brain injuries can be hard to define because there are various levels. Today, we want to discuss serious TBIs as well as minor TBIs and how they can affect you and your loved ones. Any time someone receives a hard blow to their head, the potential for serious injury is real. Brain damage caused by a head injury is extremely serious.
We know that over 5.3 million people are living with disabilities caused by TBIs in the US, and they happen in a variety of ways:
Traumatic brain injuries require immediate emergency medical care and often extended periods of rehabilitation. Those who sustain a TBI can suffer from various symptoms affecting their physical and cognitive abilities. It is not uncommon for a TBI victim to having problems ranging from the inability to walk or move properly to emotional and psychological instability.
Caring for these injuries usually requires considerable medical expenses as well as many other hidden costs:
Please do not think that because concussions are called minor TBIs that they are not serious. These types of injuries can have a loss of consciousness, memory loss, and other severe symptoms. If not diagnosed and treated properly, these injuries can become major TBIs.
Each year, there are millions of sport- and recreation-related concussions, many of them happening to teens and younger children. While our awareness of these injuries has improved, there are still times when coaches and sports staff ignore the signs and symptoms and allow someone to continue strenuous activity before they are healed. This can be dangerous, as the effects of unhealed concussions are cumulative.
Traumatic Brain Injuries result from a variety of situations, such as:
TBIs cause various symptoms that affect your ability to lead a normal productive life. Not knowing your loved one’s name, remembering why you came into a room, or no longer being able to drive a vehicle because of random blackouts. Some of these symptoms are:
Living with these symptoms requires a complete life change, which is why a law firm experienced in brain injury cases can be so important to assist in dealing with medical bills, what the insurance company says; which aids family members in assisting with your care. Our legal team can handle cases with this type of injury and offer legal advice on these catastrophic injuries resulting in brain injury victims.
If you or a loved one are suffering from a traumatic brain injury caused by another person’s negligence, please seek legal assistance today. At Townsend Law, LLC, you can count on us to investigate what happened so we can secure compensation for all of your injury-related expenses. Our years of experience in injury cases allow us to give our clients legal representation. If you are injured and need a brain injury lawyer for your personal injury case, please contact one of our attorneys immediately. Financial compensation for your brain injury claim can be pursued for items such as:
You and your family should not have to suffer financially due to another person’s mistakes, from truck accidents, motor vehicle accidents, or general negligence. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Well this one is lining up nicely… let’s go… Support is at 8.67 and I’ll add there if it goes that way… I did add at support the other day but couldn't update until now... so my average is a little bit lower than the last chart.
----- — On the far right of the chart is my Average (Grey) Current Target (Green), and Next Level to add (Red) Percentage to target is from my average.
Numbers with an A are places that are a good idea to add if you can. Numbers with a D are places where you should double your position.
I start every position with .5 - 1% of my account and build from there as needed and as possible.
I am not your financial advisor. Watch my setups first before you jump in… My trade set ups work very well and they are for my personal reference and if you decide to trade them you do so at your own risk. I will gladly answer questions to the best of my knowledge but ultimately the risk is on you. I will update targets as needed. GL and happy trading. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It all started with a wedding invite to Vilnius. It became the generator of our much delayed European tour. We wove around Vilnius an European vacation covering 8 coveted bucket list countries (Sweden, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Rep, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and France)...for a person who had never stepped outside India. Initiated by a few inputs from a travel agency, it took me 6 months of extensive study and planning to create a 20 day itinerary which included touristy stuff as well as local experiences. Now I am back with an even bigger list of Do's and Don'ts. But the experience was worth all the Don'ts ..for sure...One life is all we have!
As we were a group of eight, the first thing we did was open up a Whats-app group, where everyone started throwing suggestions. It was all over the place, where someone wanted to go to Norway and another to London, all this with Vilnius in the center. But keeping distances in mind and duration being 20 days, we settled down with 7 countries initially, keeping 2 nights for each country, but three in our wedding destination and three for Paris. From Delhi to Vilnius (Lithuania) to Warsaw (Poland) to Krakow (Poland) to Prague (Czech Republic) to Berlin (Germany) to Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Brugge (Belgium) to Paris (France) and back. However we included Stockholm as the First entry point, decided to spend a couple of nights there instead of doing a via Kiev flight and wasting our time in airports.
This was , by far, the most challenging thing I had ever done in my life. The more I was reading up, the more stronger was the conviction that we should use the Public Transport of each place we would be in. To take in the local culture, interact with locals closely, this was the best way. And the icing on the cake was it would fall cheaper. Every country had the system of Travel cards for 24/ 48/ 72 hours, whereby one could use any mode of transport by the Public Transport to and from any place. This entailed a little research on my part as to the different Public systems of different countries, the different ticketing systems ,timetables, etc.
There were some interesting facts I came across as a result. Every place has a tramline or busline that goes through many tourist points and could replace the more expensive Hop on Hop off coaches. True, you wont have an audio or live guide. But how much of that does one retain? I , personally, find myself dozing off in a guided coach, due to he non involvement added to the fact that we are travelling over a period of time. That's how we came across this Retro Tram for Tourists in Warsaw.

UK's Plastic Packaging Tax: Circular Economy & Less Waste
True Powered by Open Energy Market : Aug 23, 2023 10:11:23 AM
As concerns about environmental degradation and plastic pollution intensify, governments worldwide are grappling with solutions to tackle these challenges. The UK, with its commitment to establishing a greener future, introduced the Plastic Packaging Tax in an effort to reduce the reliance on single-use plastics and encourage a shift towards a more circular economy.
With images of plastic-littered oceans and landscapes becoming ubiquitous, the urgency to address the plastic menace has never been more palpable. The UK, having already made strides with policies such as the ban on microbeads and the introduction of charges for plastic bags, furthered its sustainability drive with the Plastic Packaging Tax.
This progressive tax, set to come into effect, is designed with clear objectives and targets in mind:
- Tax on Non-recycled Content: The tax will apply to plastic packaging produced in, or imported into, the UK that does not contain at least 30% recycled content. This is to promote the use of recycled material in plastic packaging and drive demand for recycling.
- Applicability: The tax is applicable to businesses that manufacture or import more than 10 tonnes of plastic packaging over a year.
- Exemptions: Some packaging, such as those for immediate medical purposes, will be exempted from this tax, keeping health and safety considerations in mind.
Implications for Businesses and Consumers
The Plastic Packaging Tax promises to reshape the market dynamics for both producers and consumers:
- Incentive to Innovate: Manufacturers will likely channel more resources into R&D, exploring eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastic packaging and enhancing recycling processes.
- Cost Implications: While there might be short-term cost implications as businesses adapt to this tax, in the long run, increased use of recycled content could stabilise and even reduce production costs.
- Consumer Behaviour: Just as the plastic bag charge led to a substantial decrease in single-use plastic bags, the Plastic Packaging Tax might result in more conscious consumer choices, gravitating towards products with eco-friendly packaging.
- Boosting the Recycling Industry: This tax will likely create a surge in demand for recycled plastic, giving impetus to the recycling industry and potentially generating job opportunities.
The Plastic Packaging Tax is not just a fiscal measure; it's a statement of intent by the UK government. By making businesses accountable for their packaging choices and nudging consumers towards sustainable options, the legislation represents a significant step in the UK's journey towards environmental stewardship. The ripple effects of this tax will undoubtedly extend beyond the shores of the UK, setting a precedent for other nations to follow. As the legislation rolls out, its success will be gauged not just by revenues collected but by the reduction in plastic waste and the strides made towards a truly circular economy. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Google recently made it even easier for businesses to maintain and edit their online listings by allowing businesses to directly edit their listing information shown in the knowledge graph without having to visit the Google My Business Dashboard. Google has confirmed a new Knowledge Panel interface allows users to directly edit local listings.
The new feature allows logged in users associated with a business to directly update business information without having to go through to Google My Business Dashboard, however the GMB Dashboard is still needed for updating menus or booking links.
The change was first rumored by Barry Schwartz at SEO Roundtable based on a comment by Gary Illyes at State of Search in mid-November. The first person to report seeing the feature put into action was Prya Chandra on G+.
While the feature is available in the Knowledge Panel and the Local Finder on both desktop and mobile, it is not available through Google Maps. It is likely the feature will eventually make its way into Google Maps in the near future, but there’s no word for now on when to expect that.
The biggest question in the wake of this change is what it means for the future of the Google My Business Dashboard. The dashboard still serves some purpose for business owners who need to update or correct menus and booking listings, but many are seeing this as a sign Google may be moving away from GMB. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

cities.multimodal presented environmentally friendly alternatives to driving, enhanced sustainable urban mobility planning for multimodal transport in ten cities and introduced six mobility points and smartphone-based travel planning.
Cities.multimodal comprised of 3 thematic work packages which facilitated the planning and implementation of the following activities:
MULTIMODAL CITY QUARTERS – provide facilities
Partner cities chose a pilot area for their activities, adapted the concept of Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP) to suit city quarters and implemented different measures:
MOBILITY POINTS made multimodal transport visible in public space and facilitated the use of sustainable transport modes and connections between them. IT SOLUTIONS for individual travel planning improved accessibility of sustainable transport modes through smartphone applications. CAMPAIGNS raised awareness for the advantages of multimodal travel. A PLANNERS’ HANDBOOK was the main output to ensure capacity building in cities beyond the project consortium.
MOBILITY MANAGEMENT – change behaviour
The project partners developed a general mobility management concept to change mobility behaviour of people. The main output was a TOOLBOX FOR MOBILITY MANAGEMENT. This contained measures for mobility management in SCHOOLS and KINDERGARDENS, COMPANIES and for INNER-CITY INVESTORS and was applied by the project partners.
A focus during planning and implementation of activities in the pilot area was put on involving citizens from the very start. The cities were testing at least 2 ( for them) new and innovative methods and evaluated them afterwards. Their experience, tips and tricks on different involvement methods fed into a CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT GUIDE, that is part of the PLANNERS HANDBOOK.
The Planner’s Guide to Sustainable Urban Mobility Management inspires mobility and transport planners, politicians and NGO’s who wish to take their city’s multimodality to the next level. The Guide gives an insight to the mobility mindset of the participating cities, the chosen pilot areas, planning approaches and implemented measures.
Toolbox for Mobility Management
The toolbox provides kindergartens, schools, companies and cities with practical tools and tips for mobility management and implementation.
Multimodal travel planning analysis
The analysis focuses on website and mobile-based individual travel planning applications (ICT solutions). These ICT solutions provide different transport options and enable individualised door-to-door travel for end users. The report provides an overview of such applications and offers recommendations for the procurement process. It also covers the results of conducted market research, an analysis of partner cities’ ICT solutions, and interviews, providing a helpful starting point for cities to educate themselves about the possibilities of multimodal ICT solutions.

The Bioenergy Value Chains project aims to better understand the potential role of biomass in the UK energy system by integrating models of different aspects of international and UK bioenergy supply chains across multiple scales.
We are estimating the potential size of the international bioenergy trade to the UK in the future. Current low-carbon energy system scenarios assume high levels of biomass imports, yet the availability of these imports is highly uncertain, with these scenarios arbitrarily assuming that the UK share of global trade will be limited to the current UK share of global GDP. We are exploring scenarios for UK imports using the TIAM-UCL global energy system model, which examines potential evolutions of energy systems across the world to meet climate targets. This work includes updating the biomass resource database in UCL-TIAM and adding full land use and land use change GHG emissions, so our scenarios reflect state-of-art thinking.
For the UK, we are using the UKTM energy system model to produce bioenergy scenarios that are analysed at Imperial College using the high-resolution Bioenergy Value Chains Model. We have compared how several models represent the many diverse bioenergy technologies that are under development. Our aim is to eventually develop UKTM to examine trade-offs between growing food and fuel in the UK in the future.
This project is led by Imperial College and other collaborators are the Universities of Southampton and Manchester, and Rothamsted Research. At UCL, the project team is composed of Paul Ekins, Paul Dodds and Isabela Butnar.

When it comes to campus traditions, there are few more familiar than the songs that toll from the Thompson Hall tower every morning at 11. Listen for a moment and you might hear a familiar tune — the theme from “Harry Potter,” perhaps, or, during the holiday season, a Christmas carol. This week, though, you may want to listen a little more closely as you walk through campus. That’s because 10 new student and staff compositions will make a ringing debut on the carillon.
What’s a carillon? It’s a musical instrument, usually made up of a series of at least two dozen bronze bells, that are played either on their own or together. UNH’s carillon is unique — instead of a tower full of massive bells, it uses 286 small metal bars that act as bells. A keyboard that looks like an organ you’d find in a church is used to “play” the carillon, according to Peter Urquhart, an associate professor of music and the UNH carilloneur, or keeper of the carillon, since 2000.
Behind the Music
He picks the music, but don’t call him a DJ. Peter Urquhart has been the UNH carilloneur for about 16 years, setting the tunes that accompany us as we cross campus each day. Here's how he describes his work.
“A lot of people do know something about it, but where it is, or what it is, they often don’t know,” Urquhart says.
The carillon itself is housed in the Elliott Alumni Center; when it rings out, it sends a signal to the speakers in the T-Hall tower. The songs that play each morning are recorded and programmed into the carillon, Urquhart says.
Earlier this year, Urquhart began seeking submissions for the university’s second carillon composition contest. It was a way to make the instrument part of UNH’s sesquicentennial celebrations, as well as a way to draw attention to it.
He received submissions from undergraduates, graduate students and even staff members. Urquhart’s Music Theory II class chose the top 10 submissions, and the winning compositions began chiming across campus on Dec. 9.
One of the winners is Nate Faro ’15 ’16G, whose composition is based partly on a piece he’s writing for the UNH Wind Symphony. The symphony references UNH songs like “The Alma Mater” and “The New Hampshire Hymn,” and Faro had written a part for orchestral bells that he eventually scrapped.
“But when the carillon competition rolled around, I went back to that tune and played with it,” he says, and it transformed into the piece he submitted.
Composing for the competition wasn’t easy — the pieces had to be short, about a minute long, and simple, according to Urquhart. In his notes to potential composers, Urquhart advised sticking to one or two ringing tones at a time. Three‑note chords are “occasionally good, sometimes problematic,” and four‑note chords “almost never sound well,” he wrote.
Sam Bradley ’14 ’15G, a university staff member and one of the 10 winners, embraced the challenges of composing for the carillon. “The instrument has its own quirks and style,” he says. “I thought it would be an interesting opportunity.”
Urquhart began programming the winning compositions into the carillon this fall, and the pieces will be in the regular rotation through mid-December. Bradley heard a preview of his composition once and, “I stood around T-Hall grinning like an idiot,” he says. “It was very rewarding.”
Faro is similarly proud. “I feel like I’ve made a bit of a mark on the university,” he says. “It’s a really nice feeling when you have your own composition played, especially when you hear it ringing across campus.”
Congratulations to all of the carillon composition contest winners:

For example, someone completing an undergraduate program at another institution could email a request for information on graduate programs to "email@example.com" after finding the Graduate Admissions Office in the UVM online directory.
This guide describes services provided by Enterprise Technology Services that departments and organizations can use in sending and receiving electronic mail and providing information on campus or via the Internet. These services provide an easy-to-remember email address, an online email directory, and a convenient way for people to contact UVM departments and student organizations.
Who is eligible?
ETS will create a departmental account and email address for any academic or administrative department or any officially recognized organization that designates a person who will take responsibility for all use of that address. Organizations must be sponsored by a UVM faculty or staff employee. However, in rare instances, a student organization may be granted permission by the Student Government Association to have someone other than a UVM faculty or staff employee as the sponsor or responsible person.
The online directory
UVM's online directory, also known as LDAP, white pages, or "ph," is how people find names, email addresses, and telephone numbers for UVM students, employees, departments, and organizations. The directory is searchable by name, department, phone, and nickname(s), and also contains email addresses, telephone numbers, postal addresses, and optional information such as business hours. An "alias" uniquely identifies each directory entry. Here is a sample directory entry for a department or organization:
- alias: graduate.admissions
- name: Graduate College Admissions Office
- email: firstname.lastname@example.org or email@example.com
- Network ID: gradadm
- phone: 802-656-2699
- address: 332 Waterman Building
- hours: M-F 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Creating your directory entry
To request an entry for your department or organization, please complete the online Department or Organization Account Application, which will be submitted to ETS Identity and Account Management (IAM). You must designate a person who will take responsibility for all use of the account. Student organizations must be sponsored by a UVM faculty or staff employee. However, in rare instances, a student organization may be granted permission by the Student Government Association to have someone other than a UVM faculty or staff employee as the sponsor or responsible person.
ETS will create a departmental account, which will generate a basic online directory entry with the alias and name you request, and provide you with the NetID password.
The person in your department or organization responsible for your online directory entry can then log into the Update My Directory Information page to add information such as the mailing address and office location, work hours, and home page. The Lived Name, Pronouns, and Education sections should not be filled out for Departmental accounts.
Sending email using your online directory address
Once in the online directory, people can send email to the address given in the email field. Following the example above, email would be addressed to:
Department and organization accounts for email and electronic publishing
ETS strongly encourages that Delegate Access be granted to the person responsible for receiving email sent to the department or organization. Delegates receive and respond to meeting requests, and send email on behalf of the departmental account. Delegates may also be granted additional permissions to read, create, or have full control over items in the department account's Exchange mailbox.
To set up Delegate Access for your departmental account, contact Identity and Account Management.
Departmental websites created in Drupal are not typically managed by departmental accounts any longer, but by individual accounts that have been granted access to the particular Drupal group. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Now Burtness is leaning in to her software engineering major this summer as she interns with Digi-Key Electronics.
Double majoring in software engineering and business administration with a concentration in accounting and finance and a minor in computer science
Devils Lake, N.D.
What year are you at VCSU, and when will you graduate?
I am currently going into my 4th year at VCSU, graduating this Spring 2023
What attracted you to VCSU?
Since I first stepped foot on campus, VCSU has felt like home. The welcoming atmosphere that the students, faculty, staff, and community create around VCSU is unmatched.
Why did you choose your specific major(s)?
I was fortunate to have great role models in my high-school and early college career. They truly gave me the confidence and information I needed to start down the Technology and Business paths.
What are your career goals, or where do you see yourself in the future?
With the skills I have gained and the people I have been fortunate enough to meet at VCSU, I am optimistic for the future. As of now, I hope to meld my two career paths together to help in the development and creation of accounting software.
Which activities or groups are you involved in on campus?
This past year, I served as the president of DECA and ACM and the Head NDSA Delegate for our Student Senate.
Joining DECA has given me so many wonderful opportunities. This past spring, I first qualified at the state level and then had the opportunity to go to Baltimore, Maryland to compete in the International Development Conference. Just attending this competition, I was beyond excited. Then, I took 1st Place in the HR Management event. I am so grateful to the organization, Valley City State University, my advisor, and my peers for supporting me and giving me the tools I needed in order to achieve this goal.
Now, I proudly serve as the Vice President for Finance and Operations for our North Dakota Student Association.

There are so many steps along the way where this can be determined or switched. That camera can record in both 16:9 and 4:3, so make sure the camera is set to 16:9 widescreen. In Vegas make sure you create a widescreen project. Make sure you use the appropriate widescreen rendering template when generating the MPEG2 file. In DVD Architect set the project type to widescreen there as well.
And, your DVD player and TV will both have options to override what the DVD says and play it as either 16:9 or 4:3, but they should both default to the settings in on the DVD. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Gavin Keller, principal of Sun Valley primary school in Cape Town, has created quite a stir since announcing his decision a few months back to disband the practice of giving pupils homework.
The decision has been widely discussed across South Africa, and has received coverage on SABC, The Sunday times, Talk Radio 702, and Forbes. This “new homework policy”, as Keller describes it, aims to focus on “redesigning our curriculum using the Understanding by Design (UbD) curriculum”.
This methodology places an emphasis on the understanding and practical application of curriculum content. The focus is for pupils to develop an understanding of the content using the “six facets of understanding” – namely, the ability to explain, interpret, apply, have perspective, empathize, and have self-knowledge of all topics that they are presented with in the school environment.
Keller claims that the reaction from parents since the initiation of this new approach has been overwhelmingly positive, remarking that there has been an “increase in academic results and motivation levels” since its implementation.
Delving into the reasons as to why Keller made this decision highlights an array of related challenges around the topic of homework. Children spend approximately 7 hours in the classroom learning, and once their school day is over (this excludes extra-curriculum activities), they are required to complete additional assignments at home. Of course, it can be argued that homework is a necessary step in developing self-discipline, in the delaying of gratification, and the encouragement of self-study and problem solving – all of which are essential qualities required to set the foundation upon which a successful post-high school future can be built. Additionally, the practice of giving pupils homework can be said to facilitate the adjustment and integration into the demanding working world, where the job market is tough and competition is rife.
Whether other schools will follow suit is yet to be seen, but it certainly has caused waves across the country and only time will tell whether this new initiative is advantageous or not. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Would you buy more equipment? Recruit more staff? Move to a bigger office?
Typically, people don’t think about what needs to happen ‘behind the scenes’ in these situations.
If I were to ask you to show me where your customer information is stored, what you spoke to Alex from accounts about last week or what the email address is for Jane Smith (your next potential new client) what would you do?
If you are searching your email inbox, looking for a note pad on your desk, a spreadsheet or you can’t remember where that information is, then I can help.
Having worked with several CRM systems over several years, I now only work with Capsule CRM. Why? Capsule CRM is all out for SME’s it is a fantastic system for usability, affordability, customisation and their support team is second to none.

U.S. President Donald Trump, after failing to win congressional approval for many of his spending and policy priorities for the next five months, said Tuesday the government "needs a good 'shutdown' in September" when lawmakers will be debating the 2018 funding plan.
In a tweet, Trump blamed the result of his first fight over federal spending on lawmaking rules in the Senate, where Republicans hold a 52-48 majority. But most major legislation requires a 60-vote super majority in the 100-member chamber for approval, effectively requiring Republican and Democratic lawmakers to reach compromises.
Trump said the reason that Republicans could not prevail on all of his priorities in the trillion-dollar budget plan that pays for government spending through September 30 "is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there!"
The president said his party "either needs to elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51 percent. Our country needs a good 'shutdown' in September to fix mess!"
The U.S. government has not shut down since October 2013, when many agencies were closed for 16 days in a policy and funding dispute over then president Barack Obama's national health care reforms.
In this week's spending negotiations, Trump lost a bid for money to start construction of a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico to thwart illegal immigration, one of his key presidential campaign vows, and there are no curbs on federal grant money for cities that refuse to detain illegal immigrants he wants to deport. Funding for domestic programs sought by opposition Democrats will increase when Trump wanted reductions, while military spending will go up, but not by as much as he sought.
In spite of the budget outcome and his call for a government shutdown in five months, Trump later publicly praised the funding plan.
“After years of partisan bickering and gridlock, this bill is a clear win for the American people," he said. "We brought lawmakers together from both sides of the aisle to deliver a budget that funds the rebuilding of the United States military, makes historic investments in border security and provides health care for our minors and school choice for our disadvantaged children. More importantly, there is no long-term bailout for the insurance companies that the Democrats desperately wanted to subsidize — donors — the badly failing Obamacare. “
Rules ‘archaic and slow moving,’ says Trump
Tuesday's broadside was the second time in recent days that Trump, a New York real estate mogul turned politician accustomed to giving orders to officials working for him and having them carried out, complained about the legislative process in the Senate.
Republican leaders in the Senate abandoned the 60-vote threshold to confirm Trump's nomination of a conservative jurist, Neil Gorsuch, to the Supreme Court, on a simple majority vote, but have said they won't do away with the 60-vote requirement on legislative measures.
In an interview over the weekend, Trump said he has found that in Washington "things generally tend to go a little bit slower than you'd like them to go.
"I think the rules in Congress, and in particular the rules in the Senate, are unbelievably archaic and slow moving," he said. "And in many cases, unfair. In many cases, you're forced to make deals that are not the deal you'd make. You'd make a much different kind of a deal. You're forced into situations that you hate to be forced into.
"I also learned, and this is very sad, because we have a country that we have to take care of. The Democrats have been totally obstructionist," he said. Senate Minority Leader "Chuck Schumer has turned out to be a bad leader. He's a bad leader for the country. And the Democrats are extremely obstructionist."
U.S. political analysts agreed with Trump that his Democratic opponents won most of the funding disputes in this week's budget negotiations.
But the top Republican in the House of Representatives, Speaker Paul Ryan, painted the accord differently, saying that his party's negotiators had been successful in ending an Obama-era requirement that an increase in military spending had to be matched equally with a boost in domestic funding.
"This is the biggest victory we could have had," Ryan said. "No longer are the needs of our military going to be held hostage to an increase in domestic spending." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

WSJ - Jan. 6 Rally Funded by Top Trump Donor, Helped by Alex Jones, Organizers Say
Publix Super Markets heiress donated about $300,000 to the Ellipse event, organizers say.
The rally in Washington's Ellipse that preceded the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was arranged and funded by a small group including a top Trump campaign fundraiser and donor facilitated by far-right show host Alex Jones.
Mr. Jones personally pledged more than $50,000 in seed money for a planned Jan. 6 event in exchange for a guaranteed "top speaking slot of his choice," according to a funding document outlining a deal between his company and an early organizer for the event.
Mr. Jones also helped arrange for Julie Jenkins Fancelli, a prominent donor to the Trump campaign and heiress to the Publix Super Markets Inc. chain, to commit about $300,000 through a top fundraising official for former President Trump's 2020 campaign, according to organizers. Her money paid for the lion's share of the roughly $500,000 rally at the Ellipse where Mr. Trump spoke.
Ms. Fancelli tapped the fundraising official, Caroline Wren, to handle funding for the Ellipse event, according to organizers. Ms. Fancelli donated more than $980,000 in the 2020 election cycle to a joint account for the Trump campaign and Republican Party, records show.
Neither Mr. Jones nor Ms. Fancelli responded to several requests for comment. In a statement, Ms. Wren said her role for the event "was to assist many others in providing and arranging for a professionally produced event at the Ellipse."

LASIK surgery has been used for over twenty years to correct eyesight in people with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Surgeons report that rates of serious complications can be held to under 1 percent of all cases. With that in mind, however, LASIK is still a surgical procedure and there are potential complications that could arise for which you should be aware.
The first thing you should do to minimize the risk of complications is to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK. The second thing you should do is choose an experienced LASIK surgeon like Dr. Chris Walton who can recommend the right treatment plan to deliver the best possible results.
Here are some complications that could happen as a result of LASIK surgery:
- Discomfort and vision disturbance: Discomfort and mild irritation is to be expected for the first few days. You might experience halos and glare symptoms that should disappear within three to six months.
- Flap complications: LASIK involves reshaping the eye under a surgically-made flap of the cornea. Sometimes if the flap is not made correctly, it may not go back into place properly and cause distorted vision.
- Dry eyes: The most common side effect, dry eyes, usually go away within six months as your eyes fully heal. Those with dry eyes before LASIK may need pretreatment in order to be considered LASIK candidates.
- Undercorrection, overcorrection, or regression of vision: Having a good, qualified surgeon will help eliminate the possibility of your vision not being perfect after surgery, but it’s possible your eyes may not predictably respond to the procedure.
- Eye Infection: Infections rarely occur, but they are a potential complication of all surgical procedures.
Fortunately, these complications are usually easily remedied, either with eye drops until healing finishes or with re-treatment with the laser. Dr. Walton uses the Allegretto Wave laser, the most advanced excimer laser used in LASIK procedures. This significantly reduces the risk of complications and improves your results. Dr. Walton has achieved 20/20 vision or better with 100% of his patients using the Allegretto Wave laser.
Please contact Dr. Chris Walton using the form on this page or call 251-341-3385 today to schedule a free LASIK consultation. We serve patients in Mobile, Alabama, Pensacola, Florida and throughout the Gulf Coast region. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
How an anonymous tip line is combatting gun violence in schools
JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:
Schools across the country are using anonymous tip lines to prevent gun violence, and now a new study in the journal Pediatrics finds that the line in one state is successfully catching these kinds of threats. Doing so is critical. Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens in the U.S. That has been the case since 2020, when guns surpassed car accidents. NPR's Rhitu Chatterjee has this report, which does mention suicide.
RHITU CHATTERJEE, BYLINE: This particular tip line is being used across 23 states. It's called the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System. It trains students and school staff to identify signs of potential violence and self-harm, and then students can anonymously report a potential threat through an app, a phone number or a website. Elyse Thulin is at the University of Michigan's Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention.
ELYSE THULIN: Youth have a particularly important viewpoint. They often know much more than the adults do about what's going on in their, you know, relationships and their school communities.
CHATTERJEE: So they're often the first to notice a concerning behavior or potential threat. Thulin says, when a student reports something to the tip line, it goes to the Sandy Hook Crisis Center, where crisis counselors try to engage with the tipster.
THULIN: These individuals are trained to live-triage the tips. One very cool thing about the Say Something Anonymous Report System is that teens can actually have a conversation with a crisis center counselor live.
CHATTERJEE: The counselors gauge the nature of the threat and loop in school staff. If the threat seems urgent, then they also connect with local law enforcement. Thulin and her colleagues analyzed the system in one southeastern state, North Carolina, which has the tip line in all school districts.
THULIN: We collected data from tips that had been submitted over four academic years.
CHATTERJEE: That's 2019 to 2023. There were more than 18,000 tips submitted to the Anonymous Reporting System, or ARS.
THULIN: What we found is that 10% of tips contained reference to a firearm. So youth are turning to ARS to submit information about what can be very highly risky situations.
CHATTERJEE: While these gun-related tips also included concerns about bullying, interpersonal conflicts and suicide, 38% were about potential school shootings. Nearly a quarter were about seeing or knowing of a weapon. And, Thulin says...
THULIN: We found that, 50% of the time - that tips containing a firearm were requiring that urgent response.
CHATTERJEE: A separate analysis of the data by the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation shows that the tips and interventions that followed prevented six planned school shootings and 38 instances of school violence over the four years. The tips also flagged more than 100 cases where a suicide crisis was averted. Beverly Kingston studies violence prevention at the University of Colorado Boulder. She wasn't involved in the new study and says its findings are heartening.
BEVERLY KINGSTON: It demonstrates that anonymous reporting systems can be a useful and a practical strategy to address gun violence and other concerning behaviors.
CHATTERJEE: She says these findings are timely, given that gun violence is now a major public health problem.
KINGSTON: In a country that has the level of firearms that we have, we need to have anonymous reporting.
CHATTERJEE: Rhitu Chatterjee, NPR News.
(SOUNDBITE OF DE LA SOUL SONG, "MEMORY OF... (US) (FEAT. ESTELLE AND PETE ROCK)")
SUMMERS: If you or someone you know may be considering suicide or is in crisis, call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Just those three digits - 988.

Peaches grown in France have a reputation for top quality – big, tasty, healthy fruit with a relatively long shelf life. To deliver this quality, La Melba and Bayer CropScience entered a Food Chain Partnership aimed at testing a new solution for growing and protecting peaches. The French Peach Project brings together these two partners to demonstrate that Luna®, an innovative new crop protection product from Bayer CropScience, can deliver increased fruit quality, prolong shelf life, and significantly reduce waste. A secondary goal of this program was to evaluate the economic benefits of a Luna®-based spraying program along the food value chain.
La Melba, Bayer Crop Science France
The use of Luna® avoided tons of losses: for every 1,000 peaches harvested, the Luna® program saved 84 from decay or worse after 14 days of storage. The company estimates the economic value of the losses avoided by spraying with Luna® at around €3,000/hectare. This amount does not take into account the money the producer organization might have had to pay for the return shipment of damaged fruit. La Melba now sees these trials as a great opportunity to learn how to better manage post-harvest losses simply through field interventions. Estimates show that both the producer organization and the retailers benefit from the longer shelf life Luna® makes possible.
There is a knowledge gap on the need of reducing food waste and its general agronomic importance. Extended shelf-life after harvest poses few immediate direct benefits to peach growers, and disease-free peaches can be undervalued at harvest. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
MLK Forum Highlights Cost of War
The moral, economic, political, and spiritual consequences of war will be discussed during the forum “The Cost of the Wars on the African American Community."
The event is hosted by the Pittsburgh chapter of Black Voices for Peace, which holds events yearly to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1967 Riverside Speech, in which he announced his opposition to the Vietnam War.
Gail Austin, with Black Voices for Peace, said they hope people will come away with an understanding of how much money the U.S. is spending on wars. She said she also hopes they will make a connection between that money being spent and cuts to social services in their communities.
“There are a number of school closings in Pittsburgh; public transportation is suffering because of the number of budget cuts.”
Pittsburgh Public Schools is closing seven buildings at the end of June, but that is to save money because of declining student enrollment.
Austin said war doesn’t help black communities, only companies. She said there are many defense contractors and private security contractors who have benefited from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Austin said the event helps to keep the anti-war movement strong.
“The mainstream media is not reporting on the kinds of activates the anti-war and peace advocates are promoting,” said Austin. “And without the mainstream media we have to rely on public forums and other efforts to show that there’s definitely an anti-war sentiment out there.”
The forum will be held Saturday, January 19th beginning at 3 p.m. at the East Liberty branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. It is free and open to the public. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Ferdinand Zöller: The Hyperloop is basically capsules that can travel at extremely high speeds in an almost airless tube, with - in theory - no frictional losses. In the best case, the Hyperloop capsules would only have to provide acceleration and braking energy. Whereby the energy for braking could be fed back into the battery. In times of rising energy costs, electrified, energy-efficient hyperloop systems could represent a real alternative.
Robin Köhnlein: Basically, we think that the technology can be used to transport both passengers and goods. In the long term, we see the greatest benefit in area of transporting goods.
Robin Köhnlein: In June 2020, we founded the student association mu-zero HYPERLOOP e.V. with seven friends studing with us at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). At the beginning of our project was the idea to combine theory from our studies with practice. Thus, we created our own "green field" with the Hyperloop project, where all team members can contribute their different skills.
Robin Köhnlein: We are currently in the final development phase of our second prototype. We completed and successfully presented our first Hyperloop capsule in 2021. In developing the prototypes, we work in annual cycles: We start with a concept phase, followed by a design phase, a manufacturing phase and finally an integration phase.
Ferdinand Zöller: The deadlines for our development are basically determined by the European Hyperloop Week (EHW). There we show our prototype and let it run on a test track. At the EHW, different teams from Europe and some other countries present their prototypes, which is very inspiring and promotes exchange. We really like the fact that the EHW is not just about speed. There are also prices for efficiency, scalability, innovation of the drive or the best business case, for example.
Ferdinand Zöller: One of our colleagues had become acquainted with the Coroflex high-voltage cable product group during an internship at a major automotive manufacturer. Our sponsoring team then contacted Coroflex directly. The company was very open and quickly offered to help us with high-voltage cables, technical advice and simulations. We are very pleased that Coroflex has become a silver partner for our project in this context. In the simulations carried out online, we calculated the resulting heating together with Coroflex on the basis of our real current loads. This allowed us to directly check cable cross-sections that were already in use - and to save cable weights.
Robin Köhnlein: The decisive factor for our project was that Coroflex not only helps us with high-quality high-voltage cables - the consulting services also meant that we were able to build our current prototype easily and innovatively. As far as components are concerned, Coroflex supports us primarily with the high-voltage drive train, to which the motor, among other things, is connected.
Ferdinand Zöller: Other major advantages of the Coroflex high-voltage cables for us are their high flexibility and low weight: You have to imagine that we are working in a very confined space in our prototype, which means that the bending radii of the cables have to be as small as possible and their weights as low as possible. The high-voltage cables that Coroflex provides us with accomplish both of these things. In addition, Coroflex supports us with shielded sensor cables, where interference with our on-board electronics is minimized.
Ferdinand Zöller: We are currently in preparation for our "Hyper-Launch" on June 29 in Karlsruhe, where we will show our new prototype to the public for the first time. This will be followed by our participation in the European Hyperloop Week (July 18-24) in Delft. Both events are open to the public and can be attended digitally or on site by interested parties.
Robin Köhnlein: It is difficult to give a scientifically well-founded answer to this. I suspect that we will have to be patient until around the year 2035. In this context, the question also arises: Where will we see a hyperloop system in operation? It will probably be difficult to build such a system in Germany and Europe. But for cargo systems in sparsely populated countries - for example in Saudi Arabia - the probability is much higher. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Individual customer requirements are the order of the day, especially in the case of stand alone cable harnesses. Because our cable harnesses have to fit 100 percent – and we provide customized solutions for that. This is where our pronounced process experience and flexibility are a great advantage, because we analyze possible installation options, optimize wire-routing processes and manufacture prototypes. This can only be done together and in close collaboration with customers. These abilities enable us to provide customers with short development times, continual cost optimization and process efficiency.
We employ the following specifications when we manufacture cable harnesses:
For engine wiring, cable harnesses with intelligently designed jacket and protective materials are required, which minimize weight and maximize reliability. We utilize:
We develop and produce cable harnesses not only for seats, but also for doors, roofs, valves, air conditioners, shock absorbers, etc., with corresponding peripherals, for example with:
The production and routing of cable harnesses involves a highly complex development process performed in close collaboration with our customers. The process can often takes some time until the stand alone cable harness is finally installed in a series vehicle: from the pre-development order, to 3D routing and all the way to test phases in prototype vehicles.
At WeWire, we have the distinct advantage of being able to rely on the experience and expertise of our Coroplast Group during the entire process. For example, special-purpose tapes from Coroplast Tape, which exactly meet the protective requirements of the application, can be suggested and developed in-house with a minimum of lead time. Coroflex can also provide us with customized cables and wiring, such as for high-temperature FEP conductors or silicone conductors with heat-resistant capabilities up to 200°C. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Festival goers mingling, chatting and laughing while sampling craft beer, cider and spirits made in BC.
I must admit when I saw the call for articles related to Harvest Myths and Celebrations, I wanted to run for the hills screaming knowing Christmas decorations at Costco are not far off.
I am not too keen to look past this great summer we are having to focus on times bleaker and greyer. Thirst quenching beers on patios are my world right now and the thought of pumpkin-spiced beers and 4 PM sunsets makes me want to start looking for the razor blades.
The one bright spot for me during the six months of Wet Coast drudgery we know as Fall and Winter is the Powell River Craft Beer Festival and this year’s event, on November 3rd, marks the fifth anniversary of the event. I know I am biased, as Powell River is my adopted home town, but if you have not been to Powell River, or this festival, it is well worth it. The festival, which has grown and sold out every year, has developed a cult-like following. It is basically a weekend party with a solid craft beer festival thrown in for good measure. I love the fact that the brewers and their representatives have a blast and I have noted that many brewers are starting to show up even if their brewery is not participating just to hang out and soak up the small-town vibe.
The best way to describe it is an over-sized house party with outstanding BC beers, ciders and spirits. The atmosphere is unique as most of the locals know each other and therefore there is a comfortable familiarity and high level of mingling and socializing that you may not get at bigger, urban festivals. Powell River is a friendly place and locals go out of their way to make visitors feel welcome both at the festival and the brewery where most seem to end up at some point during the festival weekend.
This year’s event will be held in the 91-year-old Dwight Hall, which has been hosting great events since it opened in 1927. The beautiful Tudor-style building, located in the Townsite, is just steps away from the Townsite Brewery tasting lounge and a few hotels which make getting to and from the festival easy.
Over the first four years of the festival, I have heard few complaints. The most frequent issue voiced is from people not being able to attend due to the event selling out in advance, which is very unusual for the wait-until-the-last-minute mentality that exists in Pow Town. The second complaint I have heard at the three different venues the event has been previously held at, was that the space was too hot and crowded.
Both of those problems should be addressed this year as Dwight Hall boasts a 5,000 square foot, wooden dance floor which should be more than enough floor space to accommodate the 400 patrons, 29 breweries, three cideries and three distilleries expected to be there. It is a large room, with a significant side room where people will be able to find a space to bend an elbow, without fear of knocking into someone else and 400 tickets is an increase of 100 from last year’s sold-out ticket count.
Do yourself a favour and get yourself to the is event. Tickets go on sale on-line Sept 1 and you can check out CAMRA Powell River’s website, www.camrapowellriver.ca and their Facebook page for more details. Tickets will be $25 for CAMRA members and $35 for non-members and includes your souvenir glass, and three drink tickets. Food will be available but details not yet available. Plans are in the works for a pop-up liquor store, a merchandize table and a significant portion of the proceeds go to local, Powell River non-profit groups and charities. Last year approximately $4000 was donated by CAMRA Powell River back into the community. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

5 Tips for Hiring the Right Residential Painting Contractor
Check out some of the essential considerations that you should keep in mind if you want to hire the best painters Norristown.
First, one of the top ways to find a capable and reputable painting contractor is to get recommendations from a few trustworthy sources. Talk to you your neighbors, friends, loved ones, community businesses, and industry organizations. If they’ve hired a painter in the past for their home and were happy with the outcomes, they’ll have no issue referring you to the painter. However, if you’re unable to find good recommendations from within your network, try searching for potential candidates online. Look for top-rated painters based in your community. Always spend some time assessing your top choices. It’s definitely a good idea to hire the painter that receives mostly positive feedback from their clients and steer clear from those that don’t
Second, you should hire a painting contractor that has an impeccable reputation where you’re located. Remember that so many contractors get a bad rep because they’re unskilled or inexperienced, while others are known for being storm chasers. It’s highly recommended to do some basic background check first to know for sure that you’re hiring a reputable painter that isn’t just skilled and well-established, but will also strive to make your painting project a success.
Third, hire the painting contractor that possesses all the necessary qualifications. You can easily check this by asking for copies of their license, insurance, and bonding, as well as certifications. This is because a license is only granted when the painter has completed all the legal requirements set by the government before he can legally solicit business in your state. Insurance and bonding will keep you safe and help you avoid liability in case the painters cause an accident while they’re working inside your home. Certifications are also given by the top painting brands to help you assess whether the painter is trained to use their products.
Fourth, always pick out the painting contractor that charges reasonable rates. It’s true that the highest rates are more likely to get you good quality work because these rates often reflect the skills and experience of the painter. However, you should also keep in mind that it’s possible to find capable and established painters that charge cost-effective rates. As a word of caution, just keep in mind that, like most things, you’ll get what you pay for.
Finally, go with the painting contractors that make you feel assured and confident. Remember that while the painter you choose may have the best credentials and the most number of years of experience, it can be tough to allow them inside your home when you don’t feel that they’re trustworthy. For this reason, the painter that you choose must be experienced and competent, but they should also be ethical and honest about their work and their prices. Take the time to research as much as you can about them, and find out if they’ve ever had any clients complain about their reliability or their transparency with the rates that they charge. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Winchester post office addition collapses
Published 11:38 am Sunday, September 9, 2018
No one was injured when an addition on the Winchester post office collapsed suddenly Sunday morning during heavy rain.
Firefighters were called out Sunday morning to reports of a building collapse, Winchester Fire-EMS Battalion Chief Chris Whiteley said. When they pulled out of Station 1, he said he saw the addition on the side of the post office had collapsed.
Post office officials said there were about 15 people working inside when the collapse happened, but none were injured.
The collapse exposed the rural route sorting area as well as mail and packages to the elements and continuing rain.
Whiteley said the main structure of the post office appeared to be sound, though a lot of water flooded the building. City building inspector Randy Whisman was on the scene Sunday, and Whiteley said they designated areas inside where postal workers could work safely.

Shootings on same day in Knightstown occur at home, football game
KNIGHTSTOWN, Ind. (WISH) — A girl was injured in one of two shooting incidents Saturday night in Knightstown, according to police.
The Knightstown Police Department was called to the Knightstown High School football field around 10:15 p.m. Saturday on reports of multiple fights during a semipro football game and shots fired in the area.
When officers arrived they took control of the scene and began to evacuate the area.
Witnesses told police one shot was fired in the parking lot near the field. Police say a bullet casing was found in the area.
About 30 minutes later, a girl walked into Henry Community Health Hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. The victim said she was shot in Knightstown.
Police investigated the shooting and learned it took place at a Knightstown home and the incident was not connected to the shot fired at the football field.
Police say suspects have been identified in both incidents and the investigations are ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the Knightstown Police Department at 765-345-2785. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

An official in North Dakota is hoping to force bar owners into installing surveillance cameras that monitor drinkers and record evidence police can use to crack down on bar fights.
Oliver County State’s Attorney Mike Liffrig asked the city of Center, N.D., to require the cameras after a bar brawl earlier this month left a man with severe facial injuries. Liffrig told the Associated Press that the surveillance footage would help prove wrongdoing in the rural town where bar fights are so common it makes Center seem like the Wild West.
Bar owners and local patrons, however, don’t like the idea of police keeping a recorded eye on what is done and said after a few beers.
Perry Wolf, owner of Lonewolf Saloon told the AP, “I don’t have a problem with the video camera, but I won’t put audio in here. That’s baloney.”
Wolf explained, “There are a lot of people who come to bars to talk about other people. I like to drink my beer, too, and my mouth might get a little loose.”
Dean Windhorst claims to have been beaten up twice in Center bar brawls, sporting a pair of black eyes and a busted lip for weeks after the last fight. Still, Windhorst opposes the cameras.
“It’s an invasion of privacy,” he said.
Center is a town of 700 about 40 miles northwest of Bismarck in a county ranked by the North Dakota Job Service as having the highest average annual wage among the state’s 53 counties since 1993.
Center’s City Attorney John Mahoney told the AP that Center is a quiet, friendly town and the city is determined to keep it that way.
“This is a good place to raise a family and we’re trying to draw people here,” Mahoney said. “This fighting gives us a black eye and we don’t need it – the city is very serious about getting a handle on this.”
Without the cameras, however, Mahoney feels there’s little authorities can do about the bar brawls that often break out, he says, between union and nonunion workers building power plants and wind farm projects in the county.
“One of the problems is that fights don’t get reported,” said Mahoney, “or they don’t get reported until several days later, and by then the evidence is stale and the trail is cool.”
Local bar owners, however, say they’d rather handle the problem themselves than subject their law-abiding customers to police surveillance.
“A lot of this has been cleaned up pretty good already,” Wolf told the AP. “I’ve owned this bar six years and I’ve only had to call 911 three or four times.”
Susan Cahoon, owner of Cahoon’s Bar & Grill, agreed that her customers wouldn’t like the idea of police watching their every drink. She said her business has a security camera to guard against burglary, but the problem of bar fights can be handled by banishing the rowdies from the bar.
Wolf explained, “There are a couple of local construction workers who are laid off and like to pick fights. They’re a couple of troublemakers who get drunk and get stupid. They were the source of a lot of the problems. Now they have to move on somewhere else.”
WND reported previously on an attempt by authorities in Virginia to crack down on intoxicated citizens and drunk drivers by more direct means. Rather than using surveillance cameras, police entered bars directly and subjected patrons to sobriety tests.
“[Officers] were talking to one of the guests, then physically pulled him off the barstool,” Richie Prisco, general manager at Champps bar in Fairfax County told the Reston Times. “They were really aggressive and nasty.”
According to the report, police hauled customers outside of establishments to conduct sobriety tests, then arrested them for public drunkenness should they fail.
In response to complaints the raids were overly aggressive, police spokeswoman Grinnan said, “I’ve had bar owners come up to me [and] ask what is going on, but I’ve also had some approach me aggressively, telling me I couldn’t be there and I was violating their constitutional rights.”
Grinnan told the Times, “I’ve been an officer for over 17 years, and we’ve been doing it on and off over my entire career. As much as officers hate to spoil a good time, they hate even more to go out at 2 a.m. and work a death of anybody that is alcohol-related.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I believe in the old adage that if I can’t say something nice, then keep my mouth shut. Especially with other writers. But, (the BIG but!) I ordered a book with the intention of interviewing the author in the months to come, because he has lived such a fascinating life.
A few days later I sat down to what I anticipated to be an intriguing story. If you have been with me awhile, dear reader, you know my fascination with the transport, export of human beings, especially children. The story could have been a good one. I don’t know if the author is inexperienced but the story was so rushed, with little detail about what made the characters click and why they should win in the end. I didn’t care about the separated, young lovers. I didn’t care that the heroine was in shackles over a length of red ribbon. The author did not take the time to flesh out these characters. I can recognize this flaw as I am a ‘rusher’ too….but after I have ‘slammed down‘ the story outline, I go back and, slowly, create characters that matter to the reader. After the first draft of your story?….well, that’s when the REAL WORK begins.
Format your book correctly. I never realized before how distracting poor or NO formatting can be for the reader’s eye. Subconsciously our brain and eye expect to see a well formatted book like the dozens we’ve read before. This book had ‘indents’ in the middle of dialogue, poor or no punctuation, and hundreds of typos’. Incorrectly capitalized words, and
no page numbers. Really? It appeared that NO ONE had proofed this book before publishing.
In no way am I saying that my books are perfect. We are human and we miss stuff as writers. But you, as a writer have got to do the work! Do I like reading and then re-reading my own work. Hell, NO! But it’s part of the job for a self published author. Your eye will get stale so have someone else proof your writing too. I am blessed with a friend in Texas, who is extremely busy, extremely smart and a writer too. He always takes the time to proof my work and act as my editor. Wow! He’s caught some of my worse doozies!!
This book really came alive in the last 50 pages when the author wrote about a sea battle and this is what I saw: (1786) A French frigate dashed out from the coast and attacks Her Majesty’s transport. The sloop, Sparrowhawk, light as thistledown, skipping across the waves, swooped in and drove the French away. This was the strongest part of the writing. Hence, what I have said time and again, ‘write about what you know!‘
Tip: When I moved from play writing to my first novel, I was self taught when it came to formats. I took a couple of books from my own library and studied the formatting of best sellers by traditional publishers. To get a very professional look, I employed the
‘justify key‘ for margins. (compare this sample to the left with the page above.) I counted out the indent spaces, made certain that my paragraphs were not too long, and above all I PROOFED the document and then proofed it again.

Environmentalists Push Governor-Elect Desantis To Acknowledge Climate Change
Governor-elect Ron Desantis’s environmental transition team is focusing on water quality and supply. But when climate change didn’t come up in the team’s discussions, advocates for environmental protection took action.
Prior to winning the Governors’ race Ron Desantis promised to restore the Everglades, and preserve the state’s beaches. On December 10th his environmental transition team met for the first time to discuss water quality and supply.
The main focus: Everglades Restoration, after Red Tide cause a state of emergency in seven counties. Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Noah Valenstein says one plan is building water storage pools to keep contaminated water separate, "main drivers of everglades restoration are large storage and conveyance features to restore the everglades. So on the east coast you have the C-44 reservoir."
That reservoir is paid for by the state and federal government, and the one on the west coast, the C-43 reservoir, is fully funded by the state. Valenstein says the reservoirs will create a lot of space for water storage, “combined these two reservoirs will provide more than 40 billion gallons of storage as well as treatment components to protect our estuaries." But the west coast reservoir won’t be done until 2022 and others may take longer.
Meanwhile Aliki Moncrief, Executive Director of Florida Conservation Voters delivered a letter with more than 3,000 signatures to the Governors’ office. “The letter really just asks Governor-Elect Desantis to acknowledge that climate change is a serious threat,” said Moncrief.
Florida State University student and intern with Environment Florida, Ashley Johnson joined Moncrief. Johnson grew up near the Everglades and says she’s seen first-hand the effects of climate change.
“I had a lot of opportunities to enjoy the nature and as the years went by you slowly start to see the change and the enjoyment of where you’re going because you see animals that are dying, some waters aren’t suitable to swim in anymore, and these are water I’ve been swimming in since I can remember." She added that, "there is an emotional aspect to it knowing that in my life time and I’m only 22 there’s been so much change to the point that we can’t even enjoy the nature that we grew up in.”.
During his campaign Desantis took a tour of the Everglades. Afterward he told reporters, “the sea rise may be because of human activity and the changing climate, you know maybe it’s not I don’t know but what I do know is as I see the sea rising I see the increased flooding in south Florida. So I think you’d be a fool not to consider that an issue that we need to address.”
Along with asking Desantis to acknowledge climate change as a threat, the letter asks that he make polluters pay for clean up, appoint scientist to water protection boards, and create a fund to support infrastructure investments.

According to Aloma, himself and three other people tracked Burna Boy to a club sometime ago and when the singer was aware of their presence, he became humbled and was frightened by them. Aloma revealed that it took the intervention of Davido —who was in Atlanta at the time— for things not to get messy.
He went on to reveal that he has suggestive videos of the singer to prove that he has the singer at the back of his palms. Aloma’s lambasting Burna Boy comes days after the singer threw shades at Davido a while back.
Aloma, who’s in recent times showed off the blessings he’s received from Davido said he wouldn’t sit back and watch someone attack the “finger that feeds him“. In another video, he’s seen daring Burna Boy to “pull up for a fight if he thinks he has madness“.
