All mediums are in flux, but some actively record and display time. Time-Based Media describes any medium where the time is a constituent dimension, meaning the duration of the work is used to describe it physically, rather than its height or width. Video, digital film and virtual reality are at the heart of the Zabludowicz Collection because they are at the forefront of contemporary art practice. Often these are works that are made for specific installations, such as the enveloping projections of Trisha Baga, or the sculptural seating cabinets of Jon Rafman.
Film and video art can take many forms, such as the highly narrative that responds to cinema, television and internet culture, such as the work of Rachel Maclean, through to structuralist approaches which concern themselves more explicitly with materiality and notions of time, as seen in the practices of Amie Siegel and Erin Shirreff.
Zaludowicz Collection has been at the forefront of the renewed interest in virtual reality as an artistic medium, acquiring and presenting works in our 360 strand by artists such as Rachel Rossin and Jordan Wolfson. Virtual reality allows artists to place the viewer inside an all-encompassing digital environment, expanding the possibilities for time-based media to act physically as well as conceptually and emotionally on the body.
Zabludowicz Collection was a founder advisor to daata a commercial platform for collecting digital art in 2015, every work commissioned for that platform is also held in the Collection as well as a number of public and private collections around the world.

Bill Walton is not a Ben Howland fan.
The UCLA legend said as much Thursday during ESPN’s telecast of UCLA’s dramatic 59-57 win over Washington on Larry Drew II’s fallaway jumper at the buzzer.
Prior to Drew’s theatrical game-winner that improved Howland and UCLA to 17-6, 7-3 in the Pac-12, Walton effectively called for the coach’s tenure to come to an end.
“I’m not in charge,” Walton said when asked if Howland’s time had run out in Westwood. “If I were, things would be different.”
Asked directly by ESPN play-by-play announcer Dave Pasch if he was a Howland fan, Walton said, “No.”
The conversation began with Walton saying UCLA had “the smallest footprint of any of the UC campuses” and then repeatedly making fun of the crowd size at Pauley Pavilion . | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Dubai, UAE: The inaugural Healthy Innovation Conference (HiConf) opened its doors today in Dubai, UAE, to provide an immersive and insightful journey into the realm of food technology and alternative proteins. The one-day event is the first summit in the MENA region that is wholly focused on new and improved food solutions that bring transformative benefits to the health of people and the planet.
This year’s HiConf agenda focuses on emerging food market trends, evolving consumer behaviors, breakthroughs in alternative proteins, sustainable production solutions, and changing ethics that are reshaping the food industry.
The conference comes at a time when there is growing demand for alternative animal protein products worldwide, with one Credit Suisse report estimating that the market for alternative meat and dairy could grow to US $1.4 trillion by 2050. Meanwhile, the global alternative sugar market is growing faster than the traditional sugar market, with a yearly growth rate of approximately 5% versus 1%, respectively.
HiConf has thus brought together a wide spectrum of stakeholders from countries such as UAE, Germany, China, Korea, the Netherlands, Russia, and Singapore, to name a few. From government leaders to investors, academics, and entrepreneurs, more than 500 attendees are participating in the inaugural event. Speakers include former German Chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, Sergey Ivanov, Board Member at EFKO Group, Tao Zhang Managing Partner at Dao Foods International, and many others.
“From alternative and sweet proteins to the latest technologies in food sustainability and cellular nutrition, we are taking on the responsibility for human and planetary health. Through the Healthy Innovation Conference, we aim to accelerate the world’s shift towards healthy and environmentally conscious diets,” says Alaa Al Ali, Board Member at Novel Foods Group.
“We look forward to scaling the knowledge shared at HiConf to address the growing concerns about the negative environmental impact of agriculture,” adds Dr. Manon Littek, Founding Partner of Green Generation Fund.
HiConf is organized by WP Human Capital Group with Novel Foods Group as the main sponsor, held in partnership with dfv Conference Group, PwC, and other well-known organizations.

Those Impatient Souls
Raised in a home where boundaries are important but speed even more so, you could be one of those souls that carry their fiery Moon in the sign of Aries. This position stands for the story of one’s mother with strong will and enough energy to handle really anything coming her way, but short tempered and not calm enough to be the real pillar of support to a sensitive child growing up. Without tolerance for weakness (seen in emotion), those born with their Moon in Aries grow up in surroundings that push them over their limits and into the brave new world, but naked and raw in their expression, vulnerable much more than they even know.
The sign of Aries stands for the energy that starts it all and for the beginning of life itself, the forceful scream of the baby being born. This is the animalistic side inside all of us that is often cast aside as unconscious matter that we don’t wish to face. Although the Sun is exalted here, the Moon doesn’t exactly understand it, for the passive flow of waters it moves with seems to be entirely different than the active fire of the first sign in the zodiac circle. Imagine an entire boiling lake and this will give you a vivid image of the inner state of persons born with this position.
It is this energy that sparks the heart of those born with their Moon here, as if their Soul has been a warrior lifetimes ago and has something to fight for once again. This fiery approach will manifest through passionate relationships, energetic and fierce, with those that make a person feel strong and capable of really anything. They will know where to search for value and their inner light, but this might be short-lived and somewhat untrue, without the expected manifestation of the future they hoped for from the start if they aren’t coolheaded enough and if they don’t have a solid plan.
Living with a Weapon
Living with the Moon in Aries is similar to constantly sleeping with the gun next to your pillow. It will manifest more or less tender, just like any Moon for that matter, but it could be extremely scared or feel that excessive protection is necessary every step of the way. On the other hand, lack of balance pushes the person into experiences their heart simply isn’t ready for, and this is where weaponry doesn’t really do the trick for their responsibility makes it hard to defend themselves when the deeds are already done.
However careful they might get as they grow older, in most cases they learn that their true nature should be colorfully lived through without hesitation and with ultimate bravery. Once they develop patience for themselves, they will learn that they have the right to make mistakes, show anger and negative emotions, bursting into flames passionately and fiery whenever the moment calls on them while still not hurting others, or themselves, along the way. They will learn that the weapon they sleep with is already kept in their beliefs and their heart, and allows them to jump into chances and opportunities without fear, even if they know they might get bruised and hurt along the way.
The Treasure of the Moon in Aries
One cannot outlive their true nature. All we can do is balance it out as much as possible and use its benefits accepting the negative possibilities. This Moon may be hasty, fast, and too active to contain or control, but it is also the Moon that starts a new emotional cycle and teaches us all how to jump into constructive conflict that resolves it all. It is the source of energy in one’s heart, truly admirable decisions made in their chest, and the first steps taken with joy and laughter on their faces instead of fear and caution when the waters are clear.
To start a new life in full bloom and without much thought or effort to plan our journey, we need this running Moon to show us the way and lead us into an adventure that will bring out our most childish and innocent source of joy within. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Innovative battery technology earns additional 1.1 million in funds for Phase II research
OVIEDO, Fla. – Semplastics, a leading innovator in energy storage solutions, has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
This grant will enable the company to advance its pioneering work in recycling and upcycling low-value graphite from spent lithium-ion batteries to create high-performance, high-value anode materials.
The increasing global demand for lithium-ion batteries, used in everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, has raised concerns about the sustainability and availability of raw materials and supply chain vulnerabilities. Semplastics and its battery subsidiary, X-BATT, address these challenges by focusing on:
⦁ Diversifying supply chains for critical materials like graphite
⦁ Developing material and technology substitutes
⦁ Promoting recycling, reuse, and efficiency
This project aligns with the DOE Vehicle Technologies Office’s interest in mitigating global supply risk and enhancing national security by reducing dependence on foreign sources for critical materials.
“We are incredibly honored to receive this Phase II SBIR grant from the DOE. This opportunity validates the groundbreaking work our team has been doing to make lithium-ion battery materials more sustainable and secure,” said Bill Easter, CEO of Semplastics and X-BATT. “Our technology promises not just to revolutionize battery recycling, but to also contribute meaningfully to national energy security and environmental sustainability.”
In Phase I, Semplastics successfully utilized a proprietary, low-cost, inorganic, resin-based technology that allows the conversion of impure recycled graphite into high-capacity anode materials. The company leveraged its expertise in polymer-derived ceramics to inhibit the negative impact of impurities on the graphite’s performance.
Phase II of the project aims to fabricate and test larger cells, up to 2 Ah, using recycled graphite composite anodes. The work will also involve optimizing electrochemical performance metrics and conducting life-cycle and techno-economic analyses with industry partners to establish pathways to commercialization.
The successful implementation of this technology will make recycled graphite economically viable for the first time, reducing costs and energy usage in manufacturing. The technology could eventually support larger battery applications, such as electric vehicles, contributing to a more sustainable and secure energy future.
Established in 2019, X-BATT® focuses on leveraging its patented technology for high-capacity, low-cost, scalable lithium-ion battery components and provides customized, cutting-edge solutions that will allow the renewable energy future to be fully realized.
Semplastics, a Florida-based material engineering company, launched in 2000. Over the last 20 years, Semplastics has supplied plastic engineered components to a broad range of industries from medical to aerospace. The Advanced Materials Division of Semplastics, X-MAT®, was later formed in 2013. Since inception, X-MAT® has developed a revolutionary, high-performance material that combines properties of metals (electrical conductivity), engineering plastics (lightweight) and ceramics (high operating temperature). Semplastics has held partnerships with NASA, Space Florida and the Department of Energy. Its game-changing material has various current applications including fireproof roof tiles, lightweight space mirrors, battery electrodes and 3D printing ceramics. Semplastics’ technology can be custom-engineered to fit many specifications and has unlimited potential market applications.

Dealing with Anger
Dealing with anger is rarely simple, for the reason that individuals are at all times dealing out issues and causes for battle. We should take care of will increase, deflations, warfare, violence, crime, and on a regular basis frequent obligations with steady interruptions. There shouldn’t be one particular person in a forsaken world that has not gotten mad sooner or later. Anger is an emotion we all deal with. Anger is available in many kinds, however the root of anger is hatred because of a lie. This is true. When the primary man and girl had been created on the earth, the primary famous downside was a serpent within the type of Satan that lied to, deceiving the lady. Once the lie took off, the world started struggling many issues, together with violence, homicide, warfare, shortages, pests, climate disasters and so forth.
Since the primary lie, the world has gone chaotic and continues to worsen because the years roll by. We can study how a lie can instigate anger by taking a look at one particular person. The particular person engaged in felony actions, together with stealing, writing unhealthy checks, and promoting prescription medicines. Now this particular person needed to work mendacity into the image, since she felt that her behaviors and actions had been solely a supply of survival. Therefore, she was mendacity overlaying up her crimes. As the years grew the particular person turned anger and unmanageable because of her behaviors, beliefs, considering, and so forth. The particular person started appearing out as if any uncontrolled anger person would act. This included, beneath minding others, insulting others verbally and bodily, threatening, belittling, mocking, and so forth.
The girl was recognized with psychological diseases, together with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Bipolar. She additionally had well being points, together with diabetes. Now we are able to take a look at all of the points of the particular person’s anger, but we are able to see if we search deep sufficient that her mendacity, which brought on paranoia was the idea of her conduct issues. Many individuals on this planet have an issue with anger. Many of the individuals with posttraumatic stress dysfunction typically act out angrily reacting to a flashback. This is correct! Persons with posttraumatic stress dysfunction typically repress their feelings.
When they’re violent or angered it is actually because they’re combating the supply that brought on their trauma and never the particular person of their current. Therefore, we don’t see this because the problem of the woman’s anger, since she didn’t present indicators of this in my presence. Therefore, I might exclude posttraumatic stress dysfunction, or at the least decrease the signs. We can take a look at diabetes, since this sickness impacts the nerves. The scarcity of insulin creates extra issues, and lots of with diabetes will change into upset for little or no motive in any respect. However, most is not going to act out angrily assaulting or hurting one other. Therefore, we are able to see that emotional issues are underlying the diabetes once they change into aggressive. We may take a look at the crimes dedicated and see that we’ve got a critical behavioral downside that results in mendacity.
Therefore, once we take a look at this particular person we’ve got to take care of the underlying issues to cease her from mendacity and shifting forward, avoiding anger interruptions. Now, the particular person is in denial, which signifies that till the authorized system makes her take steps to administration, then she most likely is not going to get assist herself. In addition, even when the felony system will power her to get assist, it most likely is not going to work, since her denial has been in current for greater than twenty-five years. Now we’re coping with a real anger problem, for the reason that behaviors are life lengthy, which suggests intensive remedy is required. Anger is an emotion, however when it interferes with one other particular person’s life, it’s a major problem.
This particular person shouldn’t be hurting one particular person, she is hurting everybody since when she steals or write unhealthy checks, society pays with tax will increase, in addition to different will increase. One of the largest issues I seen with such a particular person is the system and society will permit persevering with; solely addressing it when somebody is caught. Once the particular person is launched then the particular person continues once more. This is a series of out of control management and anger. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Intro – Here is Bill Shade with today’s “Moment from God’s Word”.
In a culture of Fantasy, it is comforting to remember that declaration of Jesus Christ found in His High Priestly prayer to the Father in John 17. He said, Sanctify them through Thy Truth, Thy Word is Truth.
Think about that, Thy Word is Truth. It doesn’t just contain some truth, it embodies Truth. It is Truth.
You want to know about Origins? Thy Word is Truth! Want to know about the future? Thy Word is Truth. Want to be sure about eternity, about heaven, about forgiveness, about anything your heart desires to know? Same Answer: Thy Word is Truth.
Now if God’s Word is Truth, then the most important thing you could possibly occupy yourself with is getting to know God’s Word. That the reason we have put a lifetime of work behind the World Wide Bible Institute program of Study. You need to know God’s Word, and WWBI provides you with a systematic way of studying it.
So let me invite you to go to our website today. Browse around and then enroll in the study of the sacred Scriptures. Why? Because, Thy Word is Truth.
Closing – This is Kile Smith. You have been listening to Bible Teacher and author, Dr. Bill Shade, Director of Advanced Studies for Source of Light Ministries International. Our college-recognized, three-year, Bible Institute curriculum is now available online. We invite you to visit us on the Web at advancedbiblicalstudies.net – that’s advancedbiblicalstudies.net and begin a systematic study of God’s Word today. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
This week, a U.S. court ruled the estate of the late model, Anna Nicole Smith, will not receive any portion of the fortune of late husband and Texas billionaire, J. Howard Marshall. This legal decision is in agreement with the Judiciary Report's previous assessment of the case.
No court should have the authority to go against the wishes of the decedent. What is the sense of having a will, if a court can go behind your back when you die and do as they please, awarding your hard earned assets to people you did not desire to have them. It is a violation of one's rights. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The new Joe Lewis-Style™
In the spring of 1982 I had been commissioned to write a book about Bruce Lee and his method of jeet kune do by a martial arts magazine publisher. When I met Joe in March of 1982 he was 38. Joe had won the world full-contact championships in 1974 and was now intent on regaining his PKA title. I was intent on learning the Joe Lewis-Style™ but he didn’t give lessons. Joe understood fully that I was interested in learning exactly what Bruce Lee had taught him and how he had made it work in the street and in the ring. To learn from Joe you became his sparring partner. So for the next few years I would travel monthly to Raleigh, NC or any number of other locations to “spar.” At least once per month Joe would stay at my home in Christiansburg, VA for a few days at a time. Once here we would create articles, organize seminar tours and spar.
After leaving Hollywood for good, Joe needed an income. So to begin a seminar circuit Joe and I decided on the name “Joe Lewis American Karate Systems” in 1983. We called it “American Karate” to identify the full-contact Joe Lewis-Style™ fighting only version from the more traditional forms of Karate. And, because Bruce Lee’s fighting system was also referred to by some as “non-classical karate.” To earn rank you had to fight 3 rounds full contact Joe Lewis-Style ™. Joe and I also started an organization we called the American Independent Karate/Kickboxing Instructors Association™ or Aikia.net for short to certify more traditional styles including student and Black Belt ranks.
Together Joe and I worked closely as partners in seminars, camps, writing and promotions for the next 20+ years. In the early 90’s Joe and I had decided to write a book to be titled Joe Lewis-Style™ Self-Defense. We took photos and designated book chapters. In 1997 I was selected by Panther Productions to star in the jeet kune do video series focusing on the Joe Lewis-Style™ of JKD. That same year Paladin Press requested a book manuscript so Joe and I decided on the title “The Greatest Karate Fighter of All Time”. Instead of using the original Joe Lewis-Style™ as the title we went with Joe Lewis American Karate Systems. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
LARRY EISENSTEIN – Negative Capability exhibition
May 25 – Jun 16, 2013 (opening Sat May 25, 2-5pm)
@ Loop Gallery (1273 Dundas St W, Toronto)
Toronto artist and 4PANEL participant Larry Eisenstein (whose work was prominently featured back in CAROUSEL 27) has a new exhibit opening in Toronto, Negative Capability. Romantic poet John Keats used the term “negative capability” to describe an artist’s receptiveness to the world and its natural marvel, and the struggle of human beings to transcend and revise their contexts. Philosopher Roberto Unger appropriated Keats’ term in order to explain resistance to rigid social divisions and hierarchies. For psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion, negative capability was the ability to tolerate the pain and confusion of not knowing, rather than imposing ready-made or omnipotent certainties upon an ambiguous situation or emotional challenge. Eisenstien links Keat’s interpretation of negative capability to the heart, Unger’s to the body, and Bion’s to the mind. Together, this trinity of intimacy, passion and commitment encapsulate the joys and anxieties Eisenstein experiences as he creates numerous meticulously patterned drawings of free-form viral clusters.
Eisenstein will be sharing the gallery space with artist Eric Farache, whose exhibition of larger painted works, Quixtopia also opens.

I am the lead developer responsible for overall application architecture. My role also focused on algorithm implementation and ensuring the application's efficiency. The project commenced on 17th Nov 2023 and concluded successfully on 7th Dec 2023. Our target audience includes jewelry retailers, manufacturers, and designers who seek a seamless solution for image matching and management in the industry.
Why this Project?
Choosing the ImageMatch Desktop project wasn't really a shared interest with a team or group of individuals; it had a personal touch, connected to challenges I faced in the past. A while back, a client challenged me to add advanced image matching to his jewelry application he was developing. I did some research, trying to find the right solution, but back then, it stayed on the back burner due to various reasons. Now, with the ImageMatch Desktop project, I saw a chance to revisit that challenge. So it isn't just a technical project; it's also about proving to myself that I can overcome past limitations and turn an idea into reality.
What I've accomplished with this project
The architecture of ImageMatch Desktop is designed to efficiently handle image matching and retrieval. The data flow begins with user-provided images, undergoes processing and matching through the Emgu.CV library, and finally displaying matched results in the user interface.
For the frontend, we chose a Windows Forms Application in Visual Basic for its ease of use and integration with the Emgu.CV library.
Emgu.CV was selected for its robust computer vision capabilities, allowing us to perform image matching and recognition efficiently.
To manage and organize data, we integrated MySQL for storing jewelry information and related details.
Completed Features of ImageMatch Desktop
- EigenObjectRecognizer from Emgu.CV is utilized for accurate image matching.
- A dynamic removal of matched images from recognition pool is implemented to prevent redundant matches.
- A connection to MySQL is established to store and retrieve jewelry information.
- Based on the image matched results, a feature has been implemented to query database for additional information (name, description, location).
- A datagridview is used to display and manage multiple match results simultaneously.
- A location management has been integrated to enhance the user's ability to organize and track jewelry items.
These features collectively enhance the image matching experience, provide efficient data management, and offer a more user-friendly interface.
Technical Challenge I face during the project
I faced a problem with EigenObjectRecognizer in Emgu.CV, which didn't consistently recognize jewelry well. Fixing this was crucial for the project. To solve it, I studied the recognizer and tried different settings. I experimented with parameters like EigenDistanceThreshold and MCvTermCriteria to find the best setup for accurate recognition.
I also made the recognizer smarter by removing already matched images, preventing it from repeating the same recognition. To make it even better, I added more diverse jewelry images to the training set, helping the tool recognize a wider range of items.
These changes made a big difference. Now, the recognizer accurately matches jewelry images, making the ImageMatch Desktop app work better for users.
What I've learnt from this Project
Through the course of this project, I've learnt several valuable lessons which has shaped my technical expertise and personal growth as an engineer.
- I learned a lot about recognizing images, especially using the EigenObjectRecognizer in Emgu.CV. Adjusting settings like EigenDistanceThreshold and MCvTermCriteria showed me the balance needed for accurate recognition. Removing repetitive matches dynamically was a key feature.
- I now understand the importance of a diverse training set for better image matching. Improving the dataset over time taught me the value of adaptability in machine learning.
- This project has also taught me that seeking help from forums and collaborating with peers reinforced the importance of teamwork.
- This experience also made me realize my ability to handle tough technical challenges. It reminds me that challenges are opportunities for growth. I'm excited to explore more advanced topics in computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
In conclusion, this project not only improved my technical skills but also changed how I see the ever-changing world of software engineering. It sets the foundation for ongoing exploration and improvement to future projects.
I am a passionate software engineer with a interest in computer vision and machine learning. My GitHub link for the project is GitHub - ImageMatch Desktop.

Nyasa people living in Mombasa and Kilifi counties now want the national government to grant them full citizenship.
Nyasa spokesman Price Uledi said despite living in Kenya for over a century, they were not fully recognised as Kenyans.
« We have had issues with acquisition of the mandatory national identity cards and land ownership documents, as they are not readily available to us, » Mr Uledi said yesterday.
The Nyasa, who trace their ancestry to Malawi, are descendants of slaves captured by Arab slavers and freed by British naval forces in the 1890s.
Many were settled in Kenyan coastal cities and converted to Christianity by missionaries. And while a number of them later rose to prominent positions, most still live in shanty towns in the region. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Stolen during the colonial era, dozens of Benin bronzes that once decorated the royal palace of the Kingdom of Benin will go on show for one last time in Berlin from Saturday before being repatriated to Nigeria.
The renowned pieces of African art and their tumultuous journey up to the exhibition at the Humboldt Museum speak to Germany’s gradual reckoning with the colonial era and the injustices of the past.
The move to return some of the bronzes is the latest in a series of steps taken by Germany to try to take responsibility for the crimes of the colonial era, including the official recognition in May 2021 of a genocide perpetrated by Germany in Namibia.
Among the items being exhibited are a pair of thrones and a commemorative bust of the monarch, which used to decorate the walls of the royal palace in Benin City, in modern-day Nigeria.
Two rooms in the sprawling museum are being dedicated to the art and the history of the Kingdom of Benin, an exhibition realised “in close cooperation with partners in Nigeria”, according to the German side.
The removal of the precious objects is explained in the gallery, while educational workshops are also planned around the display.
Thousands of Benin bronzes, metal plaques and sculptures are now scattered around European museums after being looted by the British at the end of the 19th century.
The recognition of the colonial injustices and the subsequent return of the items “will continue to define our work in the future,” Hermann Parzinger, president of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, which oversees the national museums in the German capital, said in a statement.
“Just like the Netherlands and Belgium, Germany has established a museums policy that has a lucid view of the colonial past,” French historian Pascal Blanchard, a specialist on the era, told AFP.
The Africa museum in Tervuren, near Brussels in Belgium, which reopened at the end of 2018, claims to take a “critical look” at the past and the history of the objects collected by Belgian King Leopold II, who for a long time kept the Congo as his private property in the 19th century.
Likewise, the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam takes a long look at the Netherlands’ colonial past.
Unlike some countries, such as France, Germany lost its empire after its defeat in World War One and as such does not have a significant community of people repatriated from Africa.
“It does not play politically, which makes it easier to come to terms with the past,” said Blanchard.
Nonetheless, Germany has been the target of criticism in recent years over the origin of many of the objects in its museums, following in the wake of a greater public reckoning with racism.
The outrage grew louder with the opening of the first part of the new Humboldt Museum in December 2020, which is housed in a partially rebuilt Prussian palace.
The highly symbolic location — the former residence of the Hohenzollern dynasty, who oversaw Germany’s colonial adventures — was set to exhibit objects from the period.
Berlin’s Ethnological Museum currently holds 530 items that were taken from the Kingdom of Benin, including some 440 bronzes, considered to be the largest collection behind the British Museum in London.
According to the Berlin museum’s director, Lars-Christian Koch, a portion of the objects will soon be returned, another third will be kept as a loan, and the rest, not on display, will be studied by researchers.
Germany is not the only country to begin returning stolen artefacts. In November 2021, France returned 26 artefacts from the royal treasures of Abomey to the country of Benin, next to Nigeria.
The pressure is also growing on the British Museum, which has around 700 bronzes. It has long argued that its vast trove of foreign artefacts, such as the Elgin Marbles taken from the Parthenon in Athens, are best housed there.
The repatriation of the objects was a long time coming in the opinion of historian Benedicte Savoy.
“The requests for return go back to independence in the 1960s. They have been silenced, refused, forgotten for years,” she told AFP.
Nigeria is planning to build a museum in Benin City, in the south of the country, to bring together the works on their return. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei is running out of time to avert a catastrophe. Prosecutors' brazen efforts to thwart the swearing-in of President-Elect Bernardo Arévalo in January have unleashed a crisis that is dangerously inching toward a scenario of social confrontation and grave international isolation.
The resignation of the Minister of Governance, who indicated that he had refused to carry out illegal orders that threaten Guatemalan lives, coupled with violent clashes in San Marcos that have already left one person dead, have further rarefied the tension enveloping the country.
After two weeks of protests in which thousands of people have demanded the resignation of Attorney General Consuelo Porras and her right-hand man, prosecutor Rafael Curruchiche, President Giammattei has opted for paralysis, arguing that he does not have the power to resolve the crisis.
An attorney general with a sense of responsibility to her country, and with dignity, would have already resigned. An act as simple as that —her resignation, followed by that of Curruchiche— would clear a path to normalization of national life and a democratic transfer of power. This is what Guatemala needs. But their efforts to delegitimize the electoral process have confirmed to anyone who still harbored doubts that Porras and her right hand man lack those two things: responsibility and dignity.
The options left to emerge from this crisis are increasingly few and far between. Neither the president nor Congress have the power to remove the country’s top prosecutors. Legally speaking, the only routes to force their exit now pass through the Supreme Court of Justice and the Constitutional Court. But neither of these venues appear to have the political will to take action against Porras; and even if they did, it would be a drawn-out process of either removal for non-compliance with a judicial order, impeachment, or the declaration of unconstitutionality of the legal reform that curbed the president’s power to remove the attorney general. The path forward, therefore, lies in the political arena.
With just three months left in his term, Giammattei holds the decision to lead this solution, demanding the resignation of the lead prosecutors and respect for the election results. But his political allies, big businessmen, and other insiders are pressuring him to nullify the election and bar the president-elect from donning the presidential sash in January. They do so because they do not want to lose control of the judicial system, and their privileges and impunity along with it.
Giammattei has presided over a government tarnished by corruption scandals and has personally marshalled the dismantling of the judicial branch that cost Guatemalans so many years, so many resources, so much trauma, so much public exhaustion, and so many struggles against the powerful to put in order and offer guarantees of justice.
But if his poor exercise of power already augured an ill-fated spot for him in the country’s history, the decision he makes now will mark his government more than any other.
The Honduran experience following the 2009 coup d’état serves as a warning of the consequences of breaking the democratic order. The ensuing international isolation provoked a full-fledged economic crisis as the country was barred from receiving international credit and saw its exports curtailed. This allowed illicit business to thrive to the point that Honduras became a narco-state. Today Guatemala runs the same risk, and its businessmen could become international pariahs.
Compounding matters, the likely increase in citizen protest will inevitably lead either to the fall of those who today are in power or to mass repression. In any event, the crisis will grow.
Giammattei is president and therefore chiefly responsible for the current political crisis. His decisions in the coming days will determine the future of Guatemala, and therefore his place in the country’s history. He is running out of time. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Al Smith dinner was in New York City, but it was televised everywhere, and is probably going to be the last truly national event in the presidential campaign.
Kamala Harris did not show up — and she lost. Donald Trump showed up — and he won. Some things are just that simple.
Now, you would think it just cost her among Catholic voters, where she has already lost enormous ground, but frankly, her cringeworthy, bizarre, weird video — which so many people in the audience took as an insult and put-down to Catholics — cost her with not just Catholics but non-Catholics as well.
It was in incredibly bad taste. Following her interview with Fox’s Bret Baier this week, along with last night's weird video, the Kamala Harris strategy pretty clearly is to avoid serious issues and instead just try to attack Donald Trump, and that's in bad taste.
Not to suggest that every joke Donald Trump made was worth repeating, but he did have a few that were genuinely funny zingers. Including one of my favorites — that Tim Walz wasn't there, but he'll tell people he was. Trump also got a big laugh when he said how wonderful it was to be in New York City voluntarily, without a subpoena, and then he said the dinner had to end soon — because the room was rented out to migrants later on.
Good, clean fun, but Trump was relaxed. Clearly in a good space. He wasn't able to use a teleprompter, but read very well from his notes. Early the next morning, he looked equally relaxed and at ease, appearing on the popular show "FOX & Friends."
Before the Al Smith dinner, he visited a barbershop in the Bronx and shared common experiences with that group. Finally, he took a bunch of questions on the tarmac as he flew out to Detroit for more campaigning. Kamala Harris' people are saying he's not appearing before the media. Really? That's nuts. He's everywhere, answering questions nonstop, showing his high-content message for the future of America.
He's talking issues. He's talking the economy, border, crime, energy, inflation, Elon Musk and deregulation to shrink the government. He's talking tax cuts. He's talking tariffs to protect America from unfair trading practices by our competitors. Let's stop there, for a moment.
The European Union’s tariffs are 50% higher than the United States. China’s tariffs are more than twice as high as ours. Brazil’s tariffs are three-and-a-half times as high. India’s tariffs are over five-times as high, and the great tariff policeman in the sky, the World Trade Organization, permits all these countries to get away with this.
So, let me say: The time has long passed in American politics where the U.S. can just stand by and do nothing, while our foreign competitors and adversaries rip us off.
A recent Bloomberg poll shows swing state voters support Trump's tariffs by a 24-point majority, and let me say that, actually, a tough tariff negotiator like Trump will lead to freer and fairer trade. That's reciprocity. You reduce your tariffs, and we'll reduce ours. Even though liberal economists don't understand this.
Not only that — companies and investors all over the world will come here to avoid tariffs and take advantage of Trump's big tax cuts and his deregulation and his cheaper energy and his stable King Dollar.
Trump's trade strategy is not only to win the global war for business, but also to start up new job-creating factories. So, let me repeat: Reciprocity is the new free trade. Trump said it in Chicago, and he'll keep on saying it.
No, he didn't talk about tariffs at the Al Smith dinner last night, but he did talk about God's Providence and divine mercy, that have miraculously kept him alive, and that's why he won the night, and the day after — looking and acting very much like a winner. That's the riff.

Meeting the Adolescent Literacy Challenge
According to a March 2015 research report released by the Statistics Brain Research Institute 8,300 students drop out of U.S. high schools every day, which equates to 3,030,000 dropouts annually.
Children who are not reading proficiently by the fourth grade are four times more apt to drop out than others and, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, only 34 percent of America’s fourth graders read at grade level. It stands to reason that, if a student can’t read with confidence in the fourth grade, school is only going to get more challenging.
A recent study from the American Educational Research Association reported that low reading skills cause more students to drop out of high school before receiving a diploma than do the challenges of poverty. In fact, 16% of students, overall, do not receive a diploma by age 19, but students who struggle with reading in the first few years of elementary school comprise 88% of those who do not receive a diploma. (Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Longitudinal Study of Youth.)
Using Online Learning to Address “Below Basic” Reading Levels
Based on more than fifteen years’ online learning experience and in collaboration with leading experts in the field of adolescent literacy, Global Student Network is uniquely poised to offer solutions to schools working to meet the needs of struggling readers.
Building Proficiency in Reading Comprehension and Writing
GSN’s English Foundations courseware is specifically designed to provide structured reading and writing remediation and address the needs of both below-basic and below-proficient readers ages thirteen and older. English Foundations courses focus on developing reading skills and strategies while providing opportunities for extensive practice and formative feedback aimed at building student confidence. Coursework focuses on the development of reading comprehension skills and strategies as well as writing and composition. Text and skill levels increase within the study modules with the goal of raising proficiency to a high school level.
Supporting Success in Required High School Courses
GSN’s Literacy Advantage courses enable below-proficient readers to comprehend grade-level academic content and progress in standards-based high school math, science, English and social studies. Content comprehension is built up via the use of controlled vocabulary and syntax exercises; the option to listen to instructional text read aloud in English (and in Spanish for math courses); and support for new vocabulary development. Explicit reading comprehension and vocabulary building strategies assist students in improving literacy skills. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
NC substitute teachers aren’t getting paid, but they can get federal jobless benefits

NC governor says continuing unemployment benefit problems are ‘unacceptable’

North Carolina substitute teachers who haven’t been getting paid while schools are closed during the coronavirus pandemic can now file for unemployment benefits.
Only a small group of substitute teachers — those who work more than 30 hours a week — have been eligible for state unemployment benefits. But substitute teachers can get assistance under a federal program created to provide COVID-19 relief to independent contractors and self-employed workers who aren’t eligible for state unemployment benefits.
“It’s been nice to have that assistance,” Hunter Tharpe, a substitute teacher for Iredell-Statesville Schools, said in an interview with The News & Observer.TOP ARTICLES 00:01 / 00:15SKIP AD

Teachers and school staff are required to hold students to strict account for their conduct in the classroom, in school buildings. on school and church grounds, during recess, or at any school event regardless of location. Teachers and staff may exercise the same degree of physical control over a student that a parent would be legally privileged to exercise, provided that does it not exceed the amount of physical control reasonably necessary to:
protect the health and safety of pupils and other persons
protect property, or
maintain proper and appropriate conditions conducive to learning.
No teacher or staff member may inflict corporal punishment on a student. However, corporal punishment does not include an amount of physical control or use of force that is reasonable and necessary to:
quell a disturbance that threatens physical injury to persons or damage to property
engage in self-defense, or
obtain possession of weapons or other dangerous objects within the control of the student.
All incidents of the use of physical control or use of force on a student must be documented promptly and provided to the person in charge. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
USTA Play of the Day
by Michael Carter
The Meadows Racetrack and Casino Race 4 (Pick 4)
Date: 11/13/2018 Carryover: $0 Guarantee: $5,000
Ticket: 4,5,6/62/2,3– Cost: $108.00 ($1.00 base)
Yesterday’s Recap – The only selection we got correct in the Pick 5 at Yonkers was the last race of the evening when Caviart Luca was able to score from the rail in front-racing style. The Pick 5 of 7/5/5/3/1,8 returned a healthy $1,395.
Race 4: #4 WESTERN LIBERTY draws well this week and after her effort against this class last out, I look for even more improvement. She gets along well with Indof which could help her to spell victory tonight. #5 DAENERYS HANOVER gets Lasix for the second time tonight following a tough fourth-place effort last out. She has proven that she can handle this class on other racetracks, today could be the day. #6 RACING FOR RICK has won two of her last three against this group and will probably be a big threat. Do not leave her off of the ticket.
Race 5: #6 AN ORIGINAL DRAGON is dropping down today for trainer Andy Rickert following a couple of tough efforts. She has been stuck on the outside for quite some time but has proven that she can handle it and be apart of the leading group.
Race 6: #2 WHIRL WINDS K adds hopples for the second time today following a decisive victory last out. He has a good amount of speed and the fact he beat older at a young age speaks volumes to his ability.
Race 7: #2 CAVIART SCARLETT takes a pretty big step back following a couple of disappointing efforts against Open Company. Today she draws well again towards the inside and should be able to utilize some of her high cruising speed. #3 JAZZY IMAGE got a brutal trip last week and still managed to finish a strong third. She has a little bit of speed to contend with and that could play to her favor off the rail. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

New Hythe station platform
During the work to install 45 metres of new railway track we also removed the old station platform. This was a wooden construction which was starting to fail. As part of the new railway track project, the track running into the station has been significantly lifted to ensure that it is level. This means that the new station platform will be much higher than it was previously. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Met Office have published this account of what is causing this freezing start to the year. Basically, our winds in winter (particularly in the last 20 years) normally come from the south-west. This means air travels over the relatively warm Atlantic and so have brought mild conditions to the UK. But for the past three weeks theAtlantic air has been ‘blocked’ and cold air has been flowing down from Greenland or the cold winter landmass of Europe. Scientists call this contrast “warm-ocean cold-land phenomenon”.
The Met also note although the mean UK temperature for December was 2.1 °C, making it the coldest for 14 years and colder than the long-term average for December of 4.2 °C, December was one of only two months in 2009 which had a below-average mean temperature. In the UK, 2009 as a whole was the 14th-warmest on record (since 1914). This above-average temperature trend was reflected globally, with 2009 being the fifth-warmest year on the global record (since 1850).

Semalt Expert: Wordpress Theme Types - Helpful Tips
Deciding on a WordPress theme is the essential choice that one has to make for a blog. One of the best features of Wordpress is that you can make it site based and make it look the way you love and wish by inserting a WordPress plugin. The theme will leave your content the same but changes the looks of the website and the way the content has been presented. The kind of idea you select can make your content look utterly different, something that you achieve with just a single click.
Ivan Konovalov, a leading specialist of Semalt, explains that Wordpress themes come in many types which include:
Purchased or premium themes
These are themes that you buy from an online vendor. You decide to purchase them on a onetime fee or choose to pay it on an annual basis. Depending on the vendor, you can get ones with video tutorials that explain how to use them.
Premiums themes come with numerous benefits including:
- High quality
- Optimized and with high performance
- Offer full support
- They use the latest technology and the highest website standards
They come with numerous options and customization features which allow you to twist the functionality of your site. Some of the options include changing the color and changing the layout of your site. They are the best for a perfect blog.
There are thousands of free theme types on the internet. They are free to download, and you can apply them without any restriction. You can get them by visiting Wordpress.org themes directory, and they are 100% free.
Free - It means that you get them without paying anything for it. The free themes are different from freemium since the free themes are full-featured ranging from dull to stunning designs.
Freemium - These themes are put out with functions limited scope meant for testing where eventually if you love them, you will be asked to buy the full version. Therefore, they are not free since you will be required to pay for them with time.
They are also referred to as started developer themes. This is because the themes are already prepared, but they need to be developed into a better thing.
These themes are tailored in minimal design. These include themes like skeleton, bones, and roots where the developers benefit from each other trying to develop them to be stable and economically viable. They aim at offering users with information to customize the codes of the theme, and they are recommendable for those people looking to develop their themes.
Every theme is unique, and they are all designed to suit every person's needs. Do some research on the features of each before deciding on the theme to use for your blog. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

SynthBox and MIDI_Wand are two instruments I built using the teensy microprocessor platform and the wonderful audio library that goes with it. SynthBox uses the teensy 4.1, which can power an external MIDI keyboard using a built-in battery and the USB host library. In addition to the MIDI keyboard, it can be played using OSC over a WiFi network using the added ATWINC1500 chip.
MIDI_Wand is a MIDI controller (and FM synth) that uses an IMU sensor (pitch/roll/yaw) to generate melodies. Buttons add simple control of the melodies and allow you to change the type of scale. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Long Story Short
LadyBug Boats is owned by Kenneth Martin, Jr. Ken began his career in boat building in 1982 when he followed his father, Ken, Sr. as a journeyman boat builder at Cape Dory Yachts of Taunton, Massachusetts. In 1985 he went to Sagamore Bridge Marine in Bourne, MA where he was a fiberglass repairman and yacht carpenter. Leaving Sagamore, he joined Bassett Boats in Florida and was their warranty manager for several years. Ken returned to the North East in 1997 and joined Cape Marine as service manager where he received the prestigious Master Marine Technician award by Mercury Marine. He also operated his own fishing charters and is a licensed captain.
While at Cape Marine he reconstructed several derelict boats as a side-line. In 1999 he was asked by a customer if he would build her a small dinghy for her cruiser. The customer wanted the boat painted red with black dots: the first “LadyBug” boat. The word spread through the boating community on the Cape and soon there were LadyBug Boats all around the area. In 2002 another customer asked for an 18 foot skiff based on the Brockway LYS design. Ken built the boat and tested it with a 30 horsepower outboard. It was surprisingly fast, dry and stable, and Ken knew that he had a winner. Currently LadyBug Boats is Ken’s sole professional interest. He is joined by a staff of experienced boat builders.
Ken would be pleased to build your custom LadyBug Boat.

Ozone therapy is scientifically valid with hundreds, if not thousands of published research papers supporting its mechanisms of action, biological effects, effectiveness and safety.
It is used by certified doctors worldwide due to its numerous therapeutic properties. Ozone therapy has been widely used in medicine for over 80 years. The first ozone generator was patented in 1896 by Nikola Tesla. During WWI, topical ozone therapy was used by doctors on the battlefields to disinfect and heal wounds. In 2010, the Alvarado and Miramar water treatment plants of San Diego, California, initiated the use of ozone as their primary disinfectant. Today, trained and certified ozone therapy doctors all over the world utilize this therapy to treat a wide range of conditions. Multiple different international organizations of ozone therapy exist (Please visit "Ozone Organizations" page for more information"). In the United States, there are only small number of doctors trained and certified in ozone therapy.
WHAT IS OZONE AND OZONE THERAPY?
Ozone gas consists of three oxygen atoms as opposed to the two oxygen molecules found in the air we breathe. It occurs naturally and creates the ozone layer, Earth's protective layer from the Sun's ultraviolet radiation.
Ozone therapy is a novel, safe, and effective therapy that utilizes medical grade oxygen/ozone gas created by an advanced medical device in a certified doctor's office. Ozone therapy is typically used for its tissue regenerative, immune-supportive, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, and anti-aging properties. The effects of Ozone therapy are proven, safe, and with minimal or no side effects.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF OZONE THERAPY?
Reduce chronic inflammation (oxidative stress)
Support tissue repair (enhances the release of growth factors)
Increase cellular energy
Reduce oxidized LDL ("bad cholesterol")
Improve oxygen delivery to cells and circulation
Up-regulate the antioxidant system
Modulate the immune system
HOW IS OZONE THERAPY USED?
Ozone therapy has many clinical applications and a number of ways to administer it, depending on the health condition to be addressed. It is administered in a number of different ways; the most common is intravenous (IV) ozone which involves removing a volume of the patient's blood (Typically 50-250 ml) into a sterile container containing an anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting. This volume of blood is then treated with ozone and then infused into the patient via an IV drip. Other methods administration include musculoskeletal injections (called P-zone which is similar to Prolotherapy and Platelet Rich Plasma), topical applications, and rectal and bladder insufflation. Direct injection of ozone gas into the venous or arterial system is no longer a commonly used technique due to many reported adverse effects.
IN WHAT CONDITIONS IS OZONE THERAPY USED?
Ozone therapy has a wide range of therapeutic uses. Ozone therapy is typically used for its tissue regenerative, anti-oxidant, immune-supportive, anti-inflammatory, anti-septic and anti-ageing properties. Published research articles have demonstrated positive results in:
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Peripheral Artery Disease
Cerebral Vascular Disease
Diabetes and associated complications including ulcers
Post Stroke (Acute cerebral infarction)
Chronic viral hepatitis
Disc herniation (Lumbar and Cervical)
Eye Conditions (age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma)
Dental and gum infections
Ozone therapy has also been reportedly used in the treatment of:

MISSION STATEMENT Transition Lopez Island is committed to engaging our community in transformational change for a livable future.
In uncertain times, resilience is the capacity to bounce back and thrive. Our group is finding ways to harness our island-grown community activism and collective wisdom to create a new paradigm around issues of local economy, labor share, energy use, movement of goods and people, and food and water security that sustains life for us all.
As part of a worldwide movement of community-scale initiatives, Transition Lopez Island also partners locally with like-minded groups, including the Lopez Community Land Trust, Lopez Locavores, Lopez Community Trails Network, San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild, Lopez Solid Waste, and the San Juan Islands Climate & Sustainability Advisory Committee. We invite our fellow islanders to join us in creating a bold future for our rock that promotes health, creativity, and equality for everyone, in balance with nature.
Steering Committee Meetings are scheduled monthly to debrief past events, plan future activities, and make policy decisions for the larger group by consensus if possible. Anyone interested in joining the committee and playing a more central role in Transition Lopez Island’s leadership is welcome to attend.
In 2019, Transition Lopez Island launched our “Fossil Free by ’33” campaign in which we organized into three teams:
- Food/Agriculture/Water asked “How can Lopez feed itself?” This team has sponsored “Eat Local” campaigns and educational farm tours at S & S Homestead, distributed region-wide Henning Sehmsdorf’s and Elizabeth Simpson’s book Eating Locally and Seasonally, and as board members of the San Juan Islands Ag Guild and the Agricultural Resources Committee, contributes directly to seminal programs and policy making on a county-wide level.
- Transportation/Energy posed the question “How can we power our island with 100% clean energy?” To that end, the team has participated in several local energy fairs with our electric co-op, supported the acquisition of the first electric school bus in the islands, and is collaborating with the San Juan Islands Climate & Sustainability Advisory Committee on bringing a system of public transit to our county.
- Plastics/Consumption queried “How can our island be zero waste?” The team has partnered with Lopez Solid Waste to create a system of Road Stewards to keep our island’s roads waste-free, with the Lopez Chamber of Commerce to reduce single use plastic at island events and promote tourists bringing bikes instead of cars, and with local groceries to start the process of becoming zero packaging stores.
Past activities include barnraisings supporting community labor share through neighbors helping one another with homesteading projects, the Lopez Economic Group Underwriting Prosperity (LEG UP) pairing local investors with local businesses that need capital, monthly Potlucks with a Purpose featuring community conversation on topics that related to our mission of resilience and sustainability, an Inner Transition discussion group, and participation in a monthly Repair Café. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If you want to buy land or villas in Thailand, you need to register a company first, and then buy land or villas in the name of the company, which is legal and protected by law.
There are two types of companies registered in Thailand:
① Boi wholly owned company
Foreign owned company, foreign shareholders have 100% equity, if you can apply to boi, you can directly buy land without worrying about risk, but boi requirements are quite strict, the registered capital is at least 10 million ~ 200 million baht, cumbersome procedures, application time takes more than three months.
② Sino Thai joint venture
The registered capital shall be at least 1 million baht, and there shall be at least 3 shareholders of the registered joint venture company, of which at least one is Thai, and Thai shareholders shall hold at least 51% of the shares, while foreigners shall hold at most 49% of the shares and enjoy the sole signing right of the company. In order to reduce the risk, it is recommended to have two Thai shareholders. These shareholders can find or find an agency to help you. The registered company needs to provide a copy of personal passport, sign a few words, and provide the relevant documents of the registered company. The whole process can be completed in one month.
Many people say that this is not safe. In fact, as long as we ensure the following three points, it is very safe.
Quick consulting channel
LINE ID: mdrlawen | WhatsApp: +66959378666 | Email: email@example.com |
① Hire a professional lawyer
② There must be a reliable professional real estate agent for you to do the word for the recommendation
③ Register and verify that the company holding the property has been properly established to ensure that the foreign buyer has full control of the company and its assets (i.e. the property).
④ With the help of lawyers, report to relevant departments on time every month.
The "legal person", the registered person of a Thai company, has absolute control over the company, which means that without your signature or seal, all decisions of the company are invalid, and the right to dispose of the villa style real estate registered in the name of the company naturally belongs to the legal person of the company.
The chanote mark is the highest form of land ownership in Thailand. It means that the land has been accurately entered into the national land survey network. You have 100% ownership of the land defined in the title deed. You can also freely buy, sell, transfer, or mortgage your land, which is protected by law. When you have the title deed, you should obtain a copy of the title deed and ask your lawyer to verify it in the local land and Resources Bureau.
There is no need to worry too much about the issue of equity. Under the guidance of professional lawyers, Thai shareholders can sign the equity transfer or equity surrender and give it to the real owner of the company's shares. The document states that Thai shareholders automatically give up all the voting rights and management rights of the company. This kind of agreement is protected by law. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

5.2. Clearing Filament Jams on the Prusa i3 Mk3
One of the most disconcerting experiences with a new printer is the inevitable jam, when filament is stuck in the extruder somewhere and you’re stuck trying to figure out how to get it out. The Prusa Mk3 is pretty well designed for maintenance, so spend a few minutes examining the problem before you start tearing anything apart.
These notes are based on my experiences with the Prusa i3 Mk3 and Artillery/Evnovo Sidewinder X1 printers. If you are using a different printer, please verify the hardware details are similar.
The first thing to do is try to pin point where the jam is occurring.
Open the extruder door screws and examine inside the extruder mechanism with good lighting.
Examine the idler gear on the open extruder door and verify that it can rotate freely.
Determine if filament is snarled up inside the extruder. You may see some sticking out the left extruder port or twisted around the extruder gears. If so, you can try snipping off parts and pulling them out with needle-nose pliers.
A blob occasionally can form above the PTFE tubing that both prevents filament from feeding down into the tubing, and in extreme cases, even from being pulled out from the top. Trim off the blob and remove it with needle-nose pliers, and pull the rest out the top.
If your extruder is still jammed, you can first try poking up into the heated nozzle opening with the acupuncture needle included with your printer, but I find I either can’t find the thing, or that it snaps off easily, making the jam worse. The next simplest test is to replace the nozzle with a known-good one. Don’t toss clog nozzles! They can be cleaned up and restored to service easily.
If your extruder is still jammed, you likely have filament stuck inside the actual extruder.
Closely examine the PTFE tubing sticking up below the gears. The PTFE tubing itself is white. Check to see if filament is snapped off but still visible in the tube. If so, clearing it can be pretty simple. First, locate a 6 inch/15 cm length of 1.5mm rod. A hex wrench can work but may not be sufficiently long. Be sure to polish the ends to avoid tearing up the PTFE tubing. Still brass rod sold at hobby shops is ideal.
With the extruder door still open, heat the nozzle up to printing temperature and insert the rod down through the top of the extruder.
Guide the rod down past the Bondtech extruder gears and into the PTFE tube. Be sure not to bend or snag the tubing.
Gently push down until you encounter resistance, then continue to press straight down gently. You are trying to push any stuck filament down into the hotend where it can be melted and pushed out of the nozzle by your pressure on the rod.
In some cases (for instance, if you broke off an acupuncture needle), it may be necessary to remove the nozzle to force out the blockage.
If the filament is simply snapped off, you may prefer to remove the nozzle and poke the rod or wrench up through the heated block to push the filament up into the extruder where you can reach it with needle-nose pliers.
Jams aren’t really a big deal once you get a handle on them, but you’ll be miserable not having a tool or part to continue your print on the same night. Be sure to assemble a <Nozzle Aid Kit ahead of time.

Madze delivers on a sick future-bass remix of Safia's Embracing Me
The Stoney Roads Records producer channels his inner Flume with a synth-heavy, future-bass remix of the single.
Ideally, Mazde should have been on the 'one to watch' lists since his epic flip of Disclosure's Help Me Lose My Mind, but just in case you haven't been following the German beat-maker's latest moves, he's been on a roll recently charming us with an extensive collection of chilled-out, future-bass-influenced tunes, including the soothing, LissA-featuring single, Pitch Black. While his recent work has been in a league of his own creatively, a lot of the hype surrounding the artist is still based of his Disclosure flip and capitalizing on that, the Stoney Roads Records signee has dropped a remix of Safia's Embracing Me, which sees the producer add a tasty future-bass twist onto the original's beat, while keeping the original vocal melody. The vocals of frontman Ben Woolner-Kirkham soars above an ambient opening to the remix, with off-beat bass stabs and percussion clicks building until an explosive, synth-dominated drop around the 1:20 mark. The remix is reminiscent of Flume's Tennis Courts remix, with booming synth and bass throughout. Listen below. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Q. I worked for 12 years under the old CSRS and left the government in 1984. Am I still able to draw retirement under CSRS? I will be retiring in five years from the state of California. I had Thrift Savings Plan contributions, which I withdrew.

and maybe his life. The Emperor and his henchman Darth Vader weren't

Finally he reachs the transmitter platform. The turbolift door opens
and he steps out in the hot and humid air, with the blaster in his hand.

There are faint memories of a child. A child he didn't even bothered to

She tells him about a flaw in the Death Star, her father has created to

Krennic tells her, that the shield's still up and that there's no

"You, at the other hand, will die with the Rebellion!"
But before he can pull the trigger, a blaster bolt hit him in the back

When he regains consciousness, he sees the Death Star rising at the

for the Governor to settle their competition once and for all.
Krennic thrusts these thoughts aside. He wants to believe, that he's
about to die for the greater good. He'll be a hero of the Empire. Orson
Krennic closes his eyes.

I am at the Otara pools with my family. It is a sunny day, it's a good day for swimming.
I can see
As I sit down by my family I see people splashing in the water having fun. I can see lifeguards watching out for people like they're their prey.
I can smell
As I stand beside the pool the scent of chlorine lingers through the air. As I walk past the changing room I smell shampoo lingering into the air while people are having their shower. I smell my sunscreen which I've put on so I won't get badly burnt by the sun. I see people having their picnic's outside of the pool and having fun.
I can hear
I hear kids screaming because they do not want to get out of the water. And I hear lifeguards saying, "STOP RUNNING around or else you will slip."
I'm thinking to myself what's for lunch? Should I do a bomb? When am I going home? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As our concert with Imran and Hanif Khan was cancelled last minute because of medical emergency in the promoters family, we made new plans, to go spend a few days in Goa, as Mumbai is a pretty loud and dusty place.
We had to pack our bags and get ready to go to the airport, but we also had to pick up our new threads from the tailors in Santacruz.
Peter, Mark and Jeremy arrived at the Townhouse Hotel and wanted to move into our room.
It all worked out fine and after paying for overweight one more time, we were on our plane to Goa.
A friend from Bremen had recommended to go to Agonda Beach in the south of Goa, and to stay at his friends place called Tutti Garden.
The driver, that was supposed to pick us up, was not there, so Raj, a guy who had started talking to us while we were trying to find out, if our scheduled driver was going to come after all, lured us to his car. It was no official taxi, and also parked outside of the airport, so with all our luggage we rolled down the road.
He had a nice, big car, putting all our suitcases in was no problem, and he offered to take us to Agonda for 1800 Rupees instead of the 2000 the taxi company wanted.
After 20 minutes the first 600 Rupees were due, as he had to get fuel.
We arrived in the dark, Ashe, the guy running Tutti Garden was there, we put our stuff in the Bungalow, sat down at the bar, had a beer and ordered some food.
Well, aren’t we 50 meters from the beach? Let’s go have a look!
We immediately met part of a film crew from Hyderabad, who were having their after work celebrations on the beach and wanted to know where we were from. Nice guys, but communication was limited.
The food was nice and spicy, the beer was cold, and barkeeper Trevor was trying his best to get us to try his special Fireball shot. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
While I was at IndieCade East (read my Tap-Repeatedly article here!) I saw a talk about self-publishing for Indie games on the PlayStation 4.
What a lot of indie developers that I talked to didn’t realize is that self publishing on XBox One is also a thing. If you’re interested in being on the One, you can sign up for ID@Xbox and just let them know.
Easy questions answered:
Unity Support? Yes
Huge fee to join the program? No, free
Huge patching fees? No, no patching fees
Achievements? Kinect? Yes – and I’m pretty excited to see what indies will do with the new Kinect. It seems like it’s the hackers and crackers that did the coolest stuff with even the old device.
I hope you found this informative if you have interest in XBox! It feels like a lot of people still didn’t know about this program. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I’ve always wanted to go to the Olympics. My first experience with the Olympics was when I was 14 and watched every artistic gymnastics event to see if Dominique Moceanu was performing during the 1996 Atlanta Games. It was just on television but I had a *huge* crush on her.
I taped her feats and cheered when she won. I watched and re-watched her floor exercise – the one that she did with the background song The Devil Came Down to Georgia. I even joined her fan club. I was a card holding t-shirt wearing Dominique Moceanu fan!
I’m mildly embarrassed to admit this now, but I even wrote her letters.
Funny story, there was this feature going on at The Star at the same time asking teenagers to submit what they think of the Olympics and I did. The editor cut out most of my putting-her-on-a-pedestal stuff but some of it got in and I received RM 50 for my efforts.
I didn’t even know they had a prize if you get published. It was, in effect, my first paid writing assignment.
Anyway, as I grew up, I was more interested in track and field but I still watch gymnastics and the best part for me was always the opening ceremony.
When I was 24, I was mesmerized by the archer shooting a flaming arrow to light up the Olympics flame in the opening ceremony when the Games returned to Athens, Greece. I swore I’ll be in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics. I went to Guilin two years later instead. I promised myself I’ll make it for the London 2012 Olympics and this time I did go to London…twice!
I went in 2010 and 2011. 😡
Alas, it looks like I’ll have to wait another 4 years before I can attend the Olympics in person since it’s so late in the game (pun intended) that all the tickets and accommodations for the Olympics would be all sold out. T_T
…and then I received this tasty morsel of news.
Samsung is running a contest where you can win a trip to London during the Olympic Games. All you need to do is to submit a 30 second video in English of you telling them why you would be great at hunting out all the best stories London has to tell during the Olympics.
There’s a list of criteria that they’re looking for and the contest ends on 29th April but I’m here to proclaim that:
It is not too late!!!

The news this weekend that the administration is considering moving up to 100 Guantanamo prisoners to a little-used facility in northwest Illinois makes you wonder about the political calculation involved in the decision. As regular readers of TNR will recall, local politics has basically killed the idea of relocating prisoners to the depressed town of Standish, Michigan, whose congressman, Republican Peter Hoekstra, has made opposing the transfer a central plank of his run for governor.
Will the rumored site in Thompson, Illinois, fare any better? I can see arguments in both directions. Start with the local member of congress, Republican Don Manzullo. At first glance, this would seem to create the same problem that arose in Standish--an opportunity for the opposition party to score some cheap points. And Manzullo has been out of the blocks quickly, telling the Quad City Times that “[t]he terrorists remaining at Guantanamo Bay are dangerous and brutal killers, many of whom were involved in the attacks on our nation. ... I adamantly oppose this plan to bring the terrorists to northwestern Illinois, where they could one day be released into our communities.” But I actually think you want a Republican representing the district where the prisoners end up. Otherwise, if it's anything other than a safe Democratic seat, the Democratic incumbent is going to have a tough time defending it once the prisoners show up.
I'm guessing the problem in Standish was that Hoekstra is running for governor--giving him a big platform from which to tout the issue--not that he was a GOP member of Congress per se. Which raises a second consideration: a looming governors race. Here the situation doesn't look quite as promising. On the one hand, the governor is a Democrat, Pat Quinn. And of course it's the president's home state. So presumably Quinn won't block the decision if he can help it. On the other hand, Quinn is running for re-election next year (after having taken over from Blagojevich mid-term), so that could complicate the matter. Particularly since Quinn appears to have some approval-rating issues.
Fortunately, Illinois is much more Democratic than Michigan, which should give Quinn a bit more cushion than his counterpart on the other side of the lake. It also has a safely-ensconced Democratic senior senator in Dick Durbin (also a close ally of the president), so that won't be a problem. But there is the matter of the state's other seat, which temp-senator Roland Burris is slated to vacate after next year. Republicans appear to be coalescing around a strong candidate in the race--moderate Chicago-area congressman Mark Kirk. Add to that the fact that the leading Democratic candidate at this point is state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, a close Obama ally who'd probably have a tough time distancing himself from the decision, and things could get tricky. Kirk, for one, certainly smells an opportunity. He's already fired off a letter to Obama warning that, "If your administration brings al-Qaida terrorists to Illinois, our state and the Chicago Metropolitan Area will become ground zero for Jihadist terrorist plots, recruitment and radicalization.” Subtle that. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The progression of the VRChat world from PC and VR headsets to smartphones results in an immersive experience tailored for mobile users. Sharing unique social interactions in the world of virtual reality can now be as simple as reaching for your pocket device. It's incredibly exciting to finally be able to play VRChat on mobile, giving users the opportunity to explore boundless virtual worlds and engage in an immersive social experience with users across the globe while on the go.
Gameplay: A Closer Look
Having the opportunity to engage in the world of VRChat from your mobile device provides an impressive twist to the core gameplay. The typical mobility constraints that one might face when experienced through a wired VR system are felt less keenly on your mobile phone. Take your avatar for a wander and easily join different chat rooms or invite others to join yours – these are only a few features of the gameplay.
Comparing VRChat Mobile to Other Mobile VR Applications
The concept of VRChat on a mobile device may not be unique, but it excels by virtue of its immersive gameplay. In comparison to other games, VRChat captures the essence of the original experience while translating it for a mobile platform. Whether you're customizing your avatar, exploring new worlds, or simply hanging out with friends, VRChat on mobile manages to replicate the PC version's captivating environment.
Mobile Gameplay Graphics
Surprisingly, mobile gameplay graphics don't suffer much from the platform switch. The creators have successfully adapted their platform to accommodate the limitations of smartphones. Away from a high-end graphics card, it still immerses players in detailed virtual worlds enhanced by user content. We could draw parallels to other mobile games like 'Minecraft PE' and 'Roblox' in terms of stylistic graphics, but VRChat still crafts its own unique identity even when launched on a mobile platform.
Convenience of Downloads
As far as convenience is concerned, the process to download VRChat for mobile is rather straightforward. The game has been efficiently optimized for mobile gameplay in a scaled-down package that doesn't compromise too much on content or graphics. Notably, no major difficulties or lags have been reported during downloads or installations that could discourage users.
Virtual Sound Design
It's worth commending that the sound design corresponds well to the VRChat mobile platform. Players comment that walking through different environments, interacting with other users, or just casually exploring provides an audio experience that makes the overall virtual interaction particularly mesmerizing. As far as sound design goes, VRChat for mobile could be compared to its PC counterpart without many disparities.
User Content and Customization
An aspect where VRChat on mobile excels is the user content and customization. Just like in the PC version, users are allowed to create their own settings, avatars, and even mini-games within the larger game structure. This gives players an added advantage to imprint their uniqueness in the virtual world, independence that not many mobile virtual reality platforms offer.
The Drive of Evolution
The first introduction of VRChat was solely for VR headset users. Seeing its transition from VR headsets to PC and now to mobile presents a captivating overview of the game's development over the years. With each transition, the game gains more dimension, fitting into the bigger picture of versatility. This strategic move ensures that the user base continues to grow in addition to improving accessibility – a step towards the ideal future of virtual worlds. Overall, the VRChat for mobile download stands as a testament to its continuous evolution. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
We thank the King who loved the Jews and cheer for Mordechai who won his due. We ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ for Esther the Queen and always we ‘boo’ for Haman ‘the mean.’
In these last days, the Jewish people and the nation of Israel are under great attack from the nations around the world. As global events continue to unfold, each person will have to choose a side: Israel and God’s people or the international community. As you read the account of Esther, check your own thoughts about the Jewish people. Are you rebellious Queen Vashti, faithful Queen Esther, discerning Mordecai, transformed King Ahasuerus, vindictive Zeresh, or anti-semitic Haman? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
There is nothing better than listening to a fun, entertaining, yet educational podcast while you’re passing time hiking along the trail. Or better yet, prepping for that epic backpacking adventure you have so long waited for. Having coffee at your local coffee shop with your earbuds in suddenly realizing you are laughing out loud at some unique, (but common) trail story.
That’s why we have put together our favorite Backpacking Podcast’s in 2018. Our criteria was simple. Each podcast we listened to not only had to give relative value to the subject a person listens too, i.e backpacking. But is also to the point and has some flare. The biggest factor however in making our list was: Did the podcast or series of podcast inspire, motivate? Did it make us want to go backpacking?
Of course, everyone has their own idea of what a “good podcast” is. Some like a humorous approach, while others like structured, and even others like bantering to the point of oblivion. We listened to Solo Podcasters, Co-Host’s, and even Group Podcasters. If your podcast made it in our Podcatcher on a regular basis, then we listen no matter what, we just love ya. Some Podcast’s we listened to dealt a lot with beer, craft beer, getting drunk, and almost a unrecognizable banter between two Host’s. They did NOT make our list. We also gave a huge thumbs up, if the Host or Host’s were credible.
These are the top Backpacking Podcast’s of 2018 that we totally recommend. Whether you are a new Backpacker or someone who is looking to accomplish a Thru-Hike in 2019, these are the ones you should be downloading to your favorite smart phone app.

Daniel McAdams is Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. He served as foreign affairs advisor to US Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) from 2001 until Dr. Paul’s retirement at the end of 2012. From 1993-1999 he worked as a journalist based in Budapest, Hungary, including as editorial page editor of the Budapest Sun. He also served as special rapporteur for the British Helsinki Human Rights Group while based in Europe, monitoring human rights and elections on the ground in various contentious states, including Albania during the 1996-1998 civil unrest, Montenegro, Georgia, Armenia, Belarus, Croatia, and Slovakia. He was a Phillips Foundation Journalism Fellow (1998-2000) and an American Swiss Foundation “Young Leader” (2006). He can be reached on Twitter or at email@example.com
This gem from over the holidays may have passed under your radar screens. In the final State Department press conference for 2015, spokesperson John Kirby outlined the Department’s "pivotal foreign policy moments of 2015.” To be fair, some achievements warranted a mention by Foggy Bottom: re-establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba and finalizing the Iran deal are two bright spots in the otherwise foul witches brew called "US foreign policy 2015.”
However in amongst taking credit for eliminating ebola and saving the Arctic from global warming, Spokesman Kirby let loose with this zinger — an "achievement” called, "Bringing Peace, Security to Syria.”
In what can only be described as truly bizarre, Kirby reiterates US regime change policy toward Syria as responsible for bringing peace to Syria.
…in December, the UN Security Council passed a US-sponsored resolution that puts forward a roadmap that will facilitate a transition within Syria to a credible, inclusive, nonsectarian government that is responsive to the needs of the Syrian people.
Not only is this pure Orwell — fomenting sectarian war is, to State, waging peace — but it is a completely dishonest mis-representation of the resolution. The resolution did not at all envision regime-change for Syria but in fact laid out a plan to disqualify for any future leadership role the various jihadist and other terrorist groups the US had been supporting directly or indirectly for four years!
Kirby is right that "…the Syrian people have borne a heavy load.” But he fails to mention that the "heavy load” is entirely due to the regime-change foreign policy of the US and its allies over the past four-plus years.
War is peace! Diplomacy is violence!

I've always been full of admiration for Jeffrey Ventrella, whose work in avatar movement and A.I. added so much depth to There (before you say, "Depth!" remember A) There was essentially put on ice six months after it opened publically, and B) a lot of the features that There had from the get-go S.L. added much later).

Very clear strategic moves in this economic game of poker of late. They aren't usually so large or so blunt.
I remember when the deficit was huge and weighed on everyone's mind, then was turned to a surplus by Clinton. Then was turned into a huge deficit again by Bush. I'm not sure how people are suckered in by the Republican line.

"Darling Harbour Live - temporary changes to traffic to deliver a new dedicated bike lane
Temporary changes to traffic conditions are required on Darling Drive as part of the Darling Harbour Live development. From 3 December, the lanes on Darling Drive must reduce in width. With safety as the priority, we encourage cyclists to temporarily divert through Darling Harbour, and please dismount and walk through the construction hoardings. Darling Harbour Live look forward to delivering a new dedicated bike lane on the western side of Darling Drive, due for completion in 2016. For more information please call 1300 799 026 or email [email protected]

This caller called my work phone looking for a relative of mine. They were extremely rude while I was attempting to clarify additional information about my relative's case and why my Work Phone number was associated with this arrangement. Again, the young lady was extremely rude and hung the phone up in my face. My tone was subtle and low due to my work environment and did not grant this type of response.

Pragmatic stage by stage change planning
It may surprise you to learn that most of your daily decisions and choices are made without conscious thought. In a world of bewildering choice everyone takes shortcuts to decisions, influenced by our situation and the surrounding context.
This is widely known as Systems 1 thinking, where up to 95% of brain processing activity occurs below the level of conscious awareness. Despite this, most business plans are routinely built assuming a more rational economics model and remain unaligned to the realities of how people really behave.
This disconnect – between business expectations and the way people actually operate – often results in unrealistic objectives, misplaced investment and outcomes that fall short.We have worked with many complex challenges requiring a genuine change in behaviour to deliver better outcomes for both business and for wider society. So we have a proven approach for developing solutions which bring outcomes into line with human behaviour.
Our systematic methodology informs a comprehensive understanding of current behaviours and the key factors in delivering change across all audiences. We’ll define the most efficient mix of interventions to achieve the result, captured in a change plan that provides a unique bridge across strategy and delivery.
We developed our approach as best practice within government – and we have been deploying it across public and private sectors ever since. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
After a second successive Divisional title, there’s no doubt which team rules in the AFC West. With five wins out of six against their rivals in the West, the Chiefs once again dominated in this section. As one of only three teams in the NFL to have played over 100 games against their divisional rivals and to hold a winning record against all of them, Kansas have worked hard to secure their status as top dogs.
But when the new season gets underway in the fall, the challenge from their divisional rivals will be stronger than ever. So which teams are going to be the toughest opponents?
According to sports betting sites like Stakers.com, the Chargers are the number one contender in the West. They got a nightmare 0-4 start last time round and then went 9-3 for the rest of the season, narrowly missing out on the play-offs. Philip Rivers will have the same wide receiver corps to throw to and if they carry on where they left off last season, they’ll be a force to be reckoned with. But the Chiefs beat them twice last time, crushing them 54-23 over the two games, and they will relish the chance to put the Bolts in their place again this fall.
The Chargers are the opening chapter in a tough start to the Chiefs’ schedule. Next up is a trip to the Steelers, followed by a tricky home game against Jimmy Garoppolo and the improving 49ers and the first clash of the season against the Broncos. Match-ups against the Jaguars and the Patriots make up a rough opening half-dozen games.
But there’s a lot to be said for getting the toughest games out the way early on. With such a tricky schedule, there’s no danger of any early season sluggishness and we can expect the Chiefs to come out of the blocks roaring. Get through that opening stretch with a positive win-loss record and Kansas could be set for another play-off charge.
The Chargers might be grabbing the attention of the pundits, but the Broncos can also be expected to put up more of a fight this time round. They’ve made some shrewd moves in the Draft and the combination of Bradley Chubb and Von Miller should be formidable. The addition of Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton will also make Denver more dangerous on offence. But the Chiefs have a few weapons of their own.
Sure, Alex Smith has gone, but anyone writing off Kansas on the back of his departure would be making a big mistake. Patrick Mahomes has all the skills to step up and lead this team and the lightning receivers Tyreek Hill, Chris Conley and Sammy Watkins will give him the tools he needs to pile up the points. With Kareem Hunt and the returning Spencer Ware forming a powerful back duo, the Kansas offence will be looking good in September.
We can also expect more from the defense this time round. Last season they had a terrible run of injuries, but with Eric Berry back and a host of new defensive draft recruits, the Chiefs will be a lot tighter against the rush in 2018-19.
We can’t talk about tough opponents without mentioning the Raiders. Whatever they call themselves, the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders always come strong and the 30-31 game in Oakland last season was an epic. That was the only Divisional defeat the Chiefs suffered all campaign, and they will be keen to reassert their dominance over one of our oldest rivals.
After that tough opening stretch, things get a little easier. The Cardinals will be strong opponents, but nothing the Chiefs can’t handle, and after their bye in week twelve, they have three games out of five against AFC West opponents so if they dominate the division like they did last season, we can expect Kansas to finish the regular season strongly.
As ever, their AFC West rivals will make things tough for the Chiefs, but as they showed last season, they can cope with pretty much anything that the opposition throws at them. And if anyone doubts the Chiefs’ play-off credentials, they should remember the opening two games of last season when Kansas beat eventual Super Bowl contenders the Patriots and the Eagles. Losing to the Titans in the Wild Card game was a huge disappointment last time round, but the Chiefs can put that right in 2018-19 and take another Divisional title on the way to going deep into the play-offs. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
What exactly is a Blammaoid? Who thought of this thing? I'm not exactly sure what they are, what they are for, or why I need to know that they only have 3 points of articulation. I am just curious as to what are they.

I may be biased, but I think that there are some other things I can get before the Blammoids! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Earlier this week I finally finished a jacket that I felt I'd been working on forever. This was another garment from my "making yardage" project that I wrote about several weeks ago. I called this one "Out of the Box" for several reasons. It was the first fitted jacket that I've made in quite a long time and it is perhaps a more dramatic design that I typically do. At least when I started it, it seemed a bit "wild" to me, but when it was finished I was very pleased. I don't think you'd have to be very daring to wear this. What do you think? I couldn't believe I had enough scraps that went together well enough to make this. I'm so glad I saved them. When you come to my studio to check it out, you'll have to notice the beautiful hand-made fused glass buttons from Penny Faich. Not only did the color work with this, but they even have triangles on them. I bought the buttons from Penny at least 2-3 years ago when we were vending together at a quilt show. I was so glad to finally have just the right project for them.
The jacket is a size medium, fully lined, and washable. Call or e-mail for purchase information. |

Our Customer provides protection against many of the primary causes of data loss, hardware damage and downtime. It is a leading provider of global, end-to-end AC and DC-based back-up power products and services and Data Centre solutions and services.
The client was seeking to identify sales leads and map the existing IT and power back-up infrastructure of potential customers. The major problem faced was low market penetration as compared to competitors. A secondary objective was to generate opportunities for the client’s data centre professional services, including audit and assessment, migration, managed operations and remote infrastructure management and other products such as power distribution units.
Profiling of potential customer companies had to be done as per the client’s specifications. Client wanted leads generated and companies profiled from within different industries, company size ranges, and existing IT infrastructure size ranges. For example, BFSI companies profiled had to be: Banks with minimum Rs 200 crore deposit; or firms with Rs 100 crore turnover/ total income; or banks/firms with minimum 350 PCs.
We used a 5 step best practice methodology to address the client’s requirement.
- Step 1 – Identification of a database of companies that had the propensity to buy the client’s products.
- Step 2 – Desk-based research to enhance the company information by locating and adding the appropriate contacts/decision-makers in each company to the database.
- Step 3 – Outbound tele-calling to identify these companies’ business issues and pain points that could be addressed through the client’s products and services.
- Step 4 – BANT qualify all opportunities before sending them to client’s inside sales team.
- Step 5 – Lead management, tracking, feedback and nurturing to ensure that leads were accepted both by the client’s inside sales teams as well as the client’s channel partners. This included follow up in the form of EDM’s, white papers, webinars etc.
ROI for projects done in 2012 for the client:
- Total number of companies(customers) profiled for the client = Over 5800
- Total number of leads generated and sent to client = Over 3300
- Value of leads sent to client = Over Rs 160 crore
- Sales revenue growth for the client.
- Expansion of customer base
- Strengthening competitive advantage through increase in awareness about client’s products and services
- Product and services feedback, which is sent as additional comments in the profiles and leads, can be used to improve products and thereby increase customer satisfaction levels | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

-P lived w/ Leslie for 10 years in a rent controlled apt in Leslie's name; Leslie died.
-The landlord, Stahl, tried to evict P b/c his name wasn’t on lease. P filed perm injunction against LL
Issue: whether “family” includes persons co-habitating for rent control reg purposes in NY; extent to which the law should treat gays as conjugal family members
Rule: in determining family status, court looks to these factors: exclusivity & longevity of the relationship, level of emotion/financial commitment, manner parties conducted daily lives & how they held themselves out to society, & reliance upon each other in daily family services; w/in the context of rent control & evictions, the term ‘family’ will be interpreted to include those who reside in households having all of the normal familial characteristics.
Analysis: D argues that P should be evicted b/c interpretation of “family” should be viewed by laws of intestacy & thus P wouldn’t get to stay. Court doesn’t accept this argument.
-The District Court said that non-eviction doesn’t concern succession to real prop & the reg doesn’t create an alienable property right so the reg doesn’t get deference to intestacy laws.
Conclusion: court adopted totality of the circumstances view to see if people are ‘family”
Holding: Braschi should be included w/in the def of family under NY Statute & allowed to occupy the apartment.

*5 Star Villabista Villa!!
We holiday in Spain every year for over 20 years & this is the first time I’ve been able to relax & enjoy our holiday Villa to the fullest. We were mean to arrive into Alicante Airport at 1:15am & we were able to book the day before just so that we could go straight to the Villa rather than going to a hotel for the night & head over the next afternoon. We had a warm welcome from the lovely Koen, even though our flight was delayed and we didn’t get there until 2am. I kept him updated by text out of courtesy & respect just for taking the time to check us in. We even got the full tour where everything was & how they work. We knew the villa had Air Con but the added bonus it was centrally controlled for both levels which was ideal as our daughters prefer not to have the air con on at night where my husband & I wouldn’t be able to sleep without it. Vistabella Villa is absolutely stunning, modern design with all the mod coms and is exceptionally clean to a high standard and so easy to maintain throughout our 2 week holiday. This has to be the first villa we’ve stayed in, with all the cleaning products & equipment were actually provided so that we could stay on top of the daily cleaning so thank you something so small that makes our holiday that little bit easier! Jean-Marc thank you for everything, from the time of booking you kept us informed of everything. The information provided along with the contract & full inventory list was definitely a first for us that’s for sure. I love to cook at every opportunity, this villa was kitted out with everything you would need especially the kitchen. I love that there was so much crockery, glassware & cutlery, not just the 6 of everything to get you through a meal. It made it easier that you didn’t have to put the dishwasher twice a day because there is never enough! The best of all was sitting outside on the patio with an auto awning to provide the perfect shade & having the pool at the perfect temperature to relax or play, until the sun went down. What more could we ask for!! Yes, as you can see we highly recommend Vistabella Villa & believe you won’t be disappointed, it was that good we didn’t call Koen once during our stay until the day before departure just to arrange a time to check out & do his walk around & collect the keys. **Perfect Villa that I’m already looking at dates for next year 🙂 Thanks again Jean-Marc & Koen x | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
After several years of Research and Development, Nu Dimension has succeeded in bringing to the market remarkably unique, integrated, multi-functional, high-performance luxury fabrics with versatile applications.
The infographic below is a clear and textually concise summation of various attributes simultaneously imparted to 100% cotton fabrics woven using the finest 2-ply extra-long staple cotton yarns.
Our aim has been to ensure adequate durability of the attributes mentioned below.
Major obstacles commonly encountered during processing of high-performance textiles relate to yellowing in the case of white fabrics, as well as to stiffness of finished fabrics. Our techniques allow for bright whiteness to be achieved with excellent durability. Softness and breathability are also successfully maintained.
Our products, being geared to the discerning and savvy consumer, are produced using some of the best extra long staple cotton that is part of a minute fraction of the worldwide cotton harvested per annum.
We are not aware of any treatment offered in the international market place, that combines all the features clearly mentioned in our infographic, while maintaining excellent durability with bright whiteness, softness and breathability. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
