Paul Curtis NEAC combines still life with seaside landscapes, painting in oil and acrylic. He was elected an NEAC member in 2011.
Living and seeing is both Paul’s job and his art. Painting each day confronts him with the opportunity to get it right. It’s a shifting ground until the qualities of colour and form arrive at a point of stillness, and the dictates of the painting are moved through to make a finished statement - everything considered, like a jigsaw puzzle.

Since last week, large food businesses in England have been required to display calorie information on their menus. The move comes as part of the government’s new obesity strategy — an effort to improve the nation’s health in response to studies linking obesity to an increased risk of hospitalisation from Covid-19.
Few would oppose the aim of tackling obesity rates. The 2019 Health Survey estimated that 28 per cent of adults in England were obese and a further 36 per cent were overweight. Obesity is linked to a number of serious health problems, including strokes, high blood pressure and diabetes.
On the surface, calorie labelling seems to make sense. People are encouraged to make better informed, healthier choices. In turn, restaurants are incentivised to provide healthier options. But in practice, calorie labelling simply does not work. It may even do more harm than good.
Calories are merely a unit of energy. They do not indicate nutrients, proteins, healthy fats and so on. A low-calorie meal does not necessarily mean a healthier choice.
Worse still, reducing food to a calorie number overlooks the complex relationship that many people have with food. Multiple studies have found that calorie tracking causes significantly higher levels of dietary constraint and eating concerns. A survey conducted in the US found that 73 per cent of respondents with eating disorders suggested that tracking their calories had contributed to their disorder.
Beat, the UK’s eating disorder charity, has warned that calorie counts on menus could cause great distress for people suffering from or vulnerable to eating disorders. Something as simple as going for a meal with friends or family becomes humiliating or even scary.
Specialists and survivors alike add that eating in a restaurant can play a large part in recovering from an eating disorder. It is a way for someone to learn to let go of their anxieties and challenge their eating disorder.
When the obesity strategy was announced, I was inundated with emails from constituents — some who had experienced an eating disorder themselves, some who had seen their loved ones suffer. One told me they would feel “compelled” to read calorie labels, another that they nearly cried when they heard the announcement. All of them feared that calorie labelling could reduce sufferers’ chances of recovery or, worse, cause a relapse.
Roughly 1.25 million people in the UK suffer from an eating disorder. As it stands, less than half of people fully recover, and recovery takes three times as long as having the disorder itself. These debilitating illnesses can seriously damage a person’s self-image, their relationships and their social life.
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illnesses. And, while it is estimated that obesity costs the NHS £6.1bn each year, eating disorders cost the UK somewhere between £6.8bn to £8bn. We need a strategy that addresses the issue of obesity without creating another, equally costly problem.
Frustratingly, evidence of calorie labelling’s efficacy is “mixed and incomplete”, according to the British Medical Journal. A study in the US — where calorie labelling has been mandatory since 2018 — found only a small decrease in mean calories purchased per transaction. This reduction diminished over one year of follow-up.
It is also worth mentioning that many people with eating disorders also live with obesity. Up to 30 per cent of people seeking weight management services would meet the diagnostic criteria for binge eating disorder. Research shows that those suffering from binge eating disorders are in fact more likely to order food with significantly more calories when presented with this information. Failure to recognise this risks creating an obesity strategy which harms the very people it is trying to help.
So, what does an effective obesity strategy look like? Compassion should be the main driver. Rather than shaming people into choosing “healthier” options, the socioeconomic drivers of obesity need to be addressed. It is no coincidence that adult obesity is almost twice as prevalent in deprived areas, with the gap in child obesity following a similar pattern. It is not a question of “greediness”, as this legislation implies, but evidence of health inequalities.
Unless the government understands what leads people to make the choices they make around food, we cannot hope to tackle the problem. This means education around cooking and the nutritional value of food. Instead of praising restrictive eating, people should be supported with the knowledge and resources they need to improve their lifestyles.
The importance of body positivity cannot be overstated either. Many forms of disordered eating begin with insecurities about body image. People must be taught — whether through positive representation on television or as part of the school curriculum — that a healthy body takes many forms.
While this legislation remains in place, I implore everyone to look beyond these superficial numbers. Let’s be compassionate to ourselves and others when it comes to mealtimes.

I found this wonderful article over at Midrange Blog
It does exactly what I am trying to do: Lets me encrypt a certain field (column) in a table so that its encrypted as its added and updated. It also lets me automatically decrypt it when I read the record back (the only caveat is that this will be automatic with SQL but will need a small procedure to do it manually with native IO – CHAIN, READ, etc)
So, I’m republishing it here for reference. Not changing a word 🙂
Encrypt Data as its read, updated, added
For our new billing system (AR), we wanted to store account numbers for so that our customers could auto-pay their bills. After some searching and seeing how complicated the APIs are to use, I found these SQL functions: ENCRYPT_RC2(data, password) and DECRYPT_CHAR(data, password) . These looked promising and being that this is an internal-only system, we thought that this should be okay.
Now the challenge, we don’t want to have to use SQL INSERT and UPDATE statements every time we create or update a new record. RPG (Report Program Generator) has built-in commands to do that: WRITE and UPDATE. I found this article that talks about some work-around options. One of which is a trigger. This makes the most sense for our scenario.
By creating the trigger as a “before insert” or “before update” it will take the text passed and encrypt it before actually writing it to the table. Here is a sample:
CREATE TRIGGER MWLIBR.TEST_INSERT
BEFORE INSERT ON MWLIBR.TESTP
REFERENCING NEW AS N
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE PASSWD VARCHAR (127) ;
SET PASSWD = MWLIBR.GETPASS () ;
SET N.ACCOUNT = ENCRYPT_RC2 (N.ACCOUNT , PASSWD) ;
Notice the GETPASS()? That is the secret to the magic. That is a user created function. I’ll get into that in a minute. What this function does is take the ACCOUNT field and encrypt that. You will need to also create one for UPDATE as well. This will take care of your writes. Now you won’t have to change anything in your RPG program to update or write to this file.
The function is relatively simple. We simply need to return a “password”.
Here is the function:
CREATE FUNCTION MWLIBR.GETPASS ()
READS SQL DATA
CALLED ON NULL INPUT
Now the problem comes in, to keep our model simple, we would like this to be as easy to use as READ to get this data, but we can’t just allow anyone to see that information. So we have to add a layer of difficulty in using it. There are a few options, and I’ll leave it to you to figure out which will work for you.
- Use SQL to access that data. Just a simpleSELECT DECRYPT_CHAR(myfield, GETPASS()) FROM myfile WHERE mykey = key;will get you the account number.
- Use an SQL view.CREATE VIEW lib/view from SELECT KEY1, KEY2, DECRYPT_CHAR(myfield, GETPASS()) FROM myfileThe problem with this method is you might as well just not secure it at all unless you lock down this view tight.
- The final option would be a subprocedure. There can be two approaches to this.
- Write a seperate subprocedure for each field you have encrypted.
- Write one subprocedure that could work for everything. For instance:
getEncryptedField('MYLIB' : 'MYFILE' : 'MYFIELD' : 'WHERE STATEMENT FOR THE KEYS')This would look like:getEncryptedField('MWLIBR' : 'TESTP' : 'ACCOUNT' : 'TESTKEY = 123 AND KEY2 = 567')
So there you have it. It isn’t only complicated and should work for most people.

Patients with dysthymia or dysthymic disorder may be unable to work because of its symptoms and complications. If you are unable to work due to dysthymia, you may qualify for long term disability (LTD) benefits. Your insurance company will review your claim to see if you qualify under the terms of your insurance plan.
What is Dysthymia?
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 11 million people 18 or older suffer from a mental condition known as dysthymic disorder or dysthymia. It is also known as persistent depressive disorder. The illness is characterized by a consistently sad and troubled state of mind. Symptoms also include difficulty in sleeping and eating, trouble concentrating or making decisions, loss of energy, and a lack of interest in things that were once pleasurable.
These symptoms are generally akin to major depressive disorder, though milder and unending for a lengthy period. Everybody experiences feelings of depression in life at moments of extremely heightened sadness, but for those with major depressive disorder, the depression can become particularly intense. Dysthymia causes its victims to suffer from the same persistently sad feelings that those with major depressive disorder experience, though on a milder scale and with more long-lasting effects.
Most of the people with dysthymia live normal lives, although they may still experience symptoms. Since the illness can last for several years, those suffering may eventually come to believe that the depression they are experiencing is part of their character ,and may never approach doctors and family about it. This can sometimes make the illness hard to diagnose, as it is commonly accepted that the condition must have taken place for at least two years to count as persistent depressive disorder.
Working with an experienced disability attorney will give you the best chance of getting the benefits you deserve for your dysthymic disorder. Even if you have been denied benefits, that does not mean your fight is over. Many people are denied benefits the first time they apply. You have the right to file an appeal and try to get more information that may help your case.
Getting expert help is often the difference between being denied and being approved for benefits. An experienced disability attorney can guide you through the long term disability appeal process. They only get paid if your claim is successful. There are no upfront costs or unexpected fees.
People with dysthymic disorder are often incapable of keeping it from overtaking their thoughts with sorrow and can, therefore, often become unable to perform normal activities. If you or a loved one has become disabled due to dysthymic disorder and would like more information on how to apply for long term disability benefits, contact dysthymia attorney Nick A. Ortiz at (888) 321-8131 for a free case evaluation.

A few months ago, a very special friend commissioned me to make a cushion for her sister-in-law's 50th wedding anniversary. She emailed me a wedding photograph, which was then printed out onto a sheet of EQ Printables - all the instructions are on the packet - which I purchased online from Cotton Patch here in the UK. I haven't made one of these "photo" cushions for ages, and I'd forgotten how much fun it was to delve into my box of cream and white fabrics, and choose some lace trimmings and vintage buttons for embellishments. I also designed a special label to applique on the front of the cushion with the date of both the wedding and the anniversary, and included a very fancy 50. This was then traced onto a piece of fabric using a lightpad and a Micron Pigma pen, ready to be hand embroidered using a skein of Cottage Garden Thread in a golden colour... ...once I'd pieced and quilted the front of the cushion, I stitched a few vintage buttons in place along with some lace trimming (I've learnt from past experience it's much easier to stitch the buttons on at this stage rather than when the cushion is completed). The hand embroidered label was machine appliqued onto the front of the cushion, and I added some lace trimming to one of my "quiltystuff" pre-printed labels that was stitched onto the back of the cushion. Two different fabrics were used for the back, a a zipper is covered by a flap from one of the fabrics. I stitched the front and the back of the cushion wrong sides together, and used a dnarrow double fold binding to cover all the raw edges. This gives a nice "frame" to the cover... ...and here's the compled cushion, filled with a nice plump inner. This was gifted at a special celebratory party at the weekend. Apaprently my friend's sister-in-law was absolutely thrilled to bits with it! I hope she enjoys having it as much as I enjoyed making it!

The video streaming industry has reached a tipping point
The significant shift in how consumers engage with video content has forever altered TV viewing, and the groundswell of over-the-top (OTT) platforms and content now provides more choice than consumers can keep track of. It’s clear that media companies will need streaming-first mindsets going forward, but they will also need to understand consumer behavior and sentiment to deliver what audiences are looking for—and keep them engaged amid an ever-growing range of choice.
The list of unique program titles in the U.S. tops 817,000 and continues to grow, much like the array of streaming platforms and apps that deliver many of those titles.
There is no mistaking consumer appetites for streaming content, as 72% of Americans say “I love my user experience with video streaming services,” and 93% plan to increase their streaming options or make no changes to their existing plans. But the vastness of platform choice has become overwhelming for audiences.
Our first State of Play report looks at the explosion of streaming choice and how consumers are gravitating to it—and feeling overwhelmed by the number of new services. With these insights, the media industry will be better equipped to know how to deliver on the bright future of streaming ahead.

When Donald Trump announced Pete Hegseth as his secretary of defense nominee, House Republicans were, to say the least, surprised.
In a private conversation on the House floor, one Republican lawmaker remarked: “Who the fuck is this guy?” per sources familiar with the conversation.
On Capitol Hill, Hegseth’s appointment raised a lot of eyebrows and didn’t garner much immediate praise. An opinion host on Fox News and a National Guard officer, his résumé is punctuated by years worth of controversial comments, from “we should not have women in combat roles” to advocating for then-President Trump to pardon convicted war criminals.

On June 20, 2017, Russian customers came to our company for inspection. The main purpose of this visit was to inspect the production of fertilizer equipment and have a deeper understanding of fertilizer equipment. On behalf of the company, the general manager of our company extended a warm welcome to the Russian guests and arranged a detailed reception.
Our sales manager directly leads customers to our production workshop, where we can intuitively experience the company's production capacity and ensure the quality of customized products. At the same time, customers also put forward many questions, our sales manager with professional knowledge and experience to answer one by one. This is a good exchange and cooperation.

Bland foods are a good way to ease into eating if you have the flu (especially after you’re past any bouts of nausea and vomiting), and oatmeal should be at the top of your list. Certain types of oatmeal are fortified with vitamin D, which helps activate immune cells. Adding milk also provides some vitamin D, and if you top off your oatmeal with your favorite berries you will add antioxidants.
2. Broth-based soups
Chicken soup is a go-to comfort food when you’re sick and the salt in this soup or other broth-based alternatives can help replace sodium, an important electrolyte lost during diarrhea or vomiting. Fever can also increase sweating, which causes electrolyte loss.
3. Sweet Potatoes
Not often found at the top of most people’s recovery routine, but sweet potatoes contain beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A, which keeps our skin and the linings of our respiratory and digestive tracts healthy. Vitamin A also helps regulate the function of immune cells that are hard at work when you have an illness. Enjoy them baked, roasted or if you can’t stomach a full side of this colorful veggie, try a sweet potato-based soup instead.

Just one egg provides about 7 grams of high-quality protein, along with 5 grams of fat and iron, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids to support your health. And, with options for scrambled, poached, sunny side up, they may be easier on the stomach along with a piece of toast compared with other foods.
5. Protein shakes
Protein is an important building block for antibodies and immune cells, but lean meats probably aren’t on the menu when you’re sick because chewing food can feel like a big challenge when you’re nauseous and drained. That’s why drinking a protein shake can make a big difference, allowing you to slowly sip on the nutrients and vitamins you need to recover. And, no worries if you don’t have the energy to make your own shake. There are great ready-to-go options like Ensure Max Protein that you can grab right from the fridge with 30 grams of protein and 25 essential vitamins and minerals to support immune health, including vitamin A, antioxidant vitamins C and E, zinc and vitamin D.
Don’t forget Hydration
If your appetite is especially low and eating is off the table (literally), liquids are a great place to start when you’re sick. Bodily fluids carry your immune cells throughout your body and staying hydrated helps them get where they need to go to fight off infections. Also, with influenza or other viruses, common symptoms like fever, coughing, and vomiting can lead to dehydration. That’s why in addition to drinking lots of water, it’s important to reach for electrolyte-rich options to rehydrate, like Pedialyte – which contains an optimal balance of electrolytes and sugar for combatting mild to moderate dehydration. Try to avoid juices, sports drinks, or other high sugar beverages because too much sugar can pull excess water into the gut and make diarrhea worse.
If you any concerns about any illness, always talk to your healthcare provider.

Washington House Passes Crackdown On Prohibited Gun Buyers
A measure to crack down on prohibited gun buyers has passed the Washington state House. Lawmakers voted 84 to 13 vote Friday to require gun dealers to alert the State Patrol when someone fails a background check to buy a gun.
Gun dealers would have two days to let the State Patrol know of a blocked gun purchase. The Patrol would then enter the name of that person into a database accessible to officers in the field.
The measure also calls for an alert system for victims of domestic violence who have a protection order against their abuser.
Republican Dave Hayes who works as a sheriff’s sergeant co-sponsored the bill.
“Those victims now have a resource to know when their offender has tried to go and purchase a gun illegally,” he said.
That alert system is subject to funding. So is a requirement that the State Patrol actively investigate blocked gun buyers.
The measure would also create a system for someone to appeal if they believe they’ve been mistakenly blocked from buying a gun.
It’s a crime for convicted felons, domestic abusers, fugitives and others to try to buy a gun, yet our ongoing investigation with KING 5 News in Seattle has found there’s rarely if ever any follow up investigation. Each year some 4,000 people try to buy a gun in Washington and are blocked by a background check.
The bill now goes to the Washington Senate for consideration.

Happy “Dance To This” day, Arianators and Troyeblemakers (I do not know if this is the official name for Troye Sivan fans, but I’m going with it). The song that the two singers have been teasing for a couple of days now is finally here—and it will make you do what the title suggests.
The track veers more Sivan than Ariana Grande in terms of style, but both fan clubs can appreciate its smooth beat and sexy lyrics. The two even do an adorable mini rap in the middle of the track. A duet for the masses! Sivan said about the song in a statement: "'Dance To This’ is about that moment when you feel like you’ve been to enough house parties or events, and staying home and like, making out in the kitchen and cooking dinner sounds like a much, much better alternative.”
As we’ve said in the past, songs of the summer are tracks you can let loose to, and nothing qualifies more than one you can, well, just dance to—be it out and about or in the confines of your apartment. So, even though our list is already out in the world, we’d add this to it if we could.
Next up for Arianators? Another song with Nicki Minaj (coming out tomorrow!), a new perfume, and maybe a wedding???
Listen to “Dance To This,” below.

Learn some essential care car tips for college students near Tampa FL
Unbelievably, back to school season is already upon us. And while that usually means picking up a new backpack, packing your laptop charger, and stocking up on snack foods, don’t forget about your car! Making sure vehicle’s maintenance and performance are top-notch will help ensure a smooth road to college, back home, and all over campus.
Here are our six tips to help you avoid unnecessary car troubles this semester:
Your car’s battery is essentially its heart, so be sure to take good care of it. Several things can affect the life of a battery, but one over four years old should be tested regularly to avoid a battery failing at an inopportune time.
Check Dashboard Warning Lights
Any flashing warning lights on the dashboard? Those are there to alert you of both minor and also major problems with your vehicle. An orange warning light should be checked as soon as you are able to, and a red one as soon as possible.
Confirm Current License and License Plate Tab
Confirm license and license plate tabs are current: Before you head off to college, make sure both your license and license plate tabs are all current. If they’re either expired or set to expire soon, take measure to ensure that you’ll be able to renew them. Don’t get stuck with an expensive ticket due to an expired plate!
Get Emergency Roadside Kit
No matter if you’re headed 100 miles away to college or just 10, it’s always a good idea to have an emergency roadside kit in your car for the unexpected. This kit should at the very least include first aid content, flashlight, battery booster cables, knit gloves, reflective warning triangles, and survival wrap.
They’re the only part of your car that actually touch the road, so proper tire care is critical. Visually inspect your tires to ensure there are no cracks or bulges. And older, worn tires are dangerous to drive on in wet or wintery conditions and should be replaced around the 4/32 groove depth mark.
Get Oil Change
If the battery is the heart of the car, then the oil change is the blood. Getting consistent oil changes keeps your car running smoothly on the road and avoid more serious, costly engine problems. Every car is different but consider getting your oil changed if it’s been longer than six months or 7,500 miles, and especially before any long road trip to or from college.
Have any of the above issues? Schedule a free Multi-Point Inspection today at Ocean Honda near Tampa. We can help change your oil, diagnose that warning light, and test/replace your battery and tires, leaving you to focus on what’s important this semester.

PeopleQlik # 1 is one of the top HR System in Saudi Your HR branch has access to a lot of sensitive private information, which includes social protection numbers, beginning dates, and addresses. Allowing that information to get into the incorrect hands would be a serious breach of belief with your Workers and candidates, and may want to have disastrous effects.
PeopleQlik #1 HR System in Saudi
For example, a hacker should use private data to open savings cards below your employees’ names, ruin their credit scores, and affect their capability to find housing. It’s essential that you put the proper safeguards in place to maintain your HR information security.
Partner with your IT and legal teams
Your IT and legal groups can be excellent resources as you plan for, and enforce the HR System in Saudi protection measures. Sync up typically to make sure that nothing is being overlooked, and to discuss essential changes. For instance, let them understand when you plan to consider or enforce new software, so they can evaluate its information security, elevate any concerns, and recommend updates to internal safety measures.
Enable appropriate permissions
Give people on your group access to what they want inside your HR platforms and no more. For example, you may permit managers to see income information, however now not social safety numbers, for their direct reports. This ensures that the most sensitive personal data has limited exposure.
Stay on the top of worker offboarding
People in your group are bound to leave—but they shouldn’t be capable to take a confidential HR System in Saudi with them. Make positive you de-provision access to your systems in a well-timed manner so they can no longer access them after they’ve left. Also, be certain to reassign permissions to others in our group as needed. For instance, if a Super Admin leaves, you will prefer to make sure that any individual else can take over that role.

1 in 5 U.S. Mothers Say They've Been Mistreated During Maternity Care
By Denise Mann HealthDay ReporterTUESDAY, Aug. 22, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- From receiving no response to cries for help to being verbally abused, 1 in 5 U.S. mothers say they were mistreated by a health care professional during pregnancy and delivery.
Rates of mistreatment during maternity care were higher among Black, Hispanic and multiracial women, according to a survey of more than 2,400 new moms published in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's weekly Vital Signs.
“The health of moms is the health of our nation,” the CDC's chief medical officer, Dr. Debra Houry, told reporters during a media briefing.
“Too many women die during and after pregnancy in this country, and many women report mistreatment and discrimination during maternity care,” she said. "This is unacceptable as we know mistreatment can have a negative impact on the quality of maternity care, and we have to encourage a culture of respectful maternity care."
Women who were uninsured or had public insurance experienced more mistreatment during pregnancy and delivery than their counterparts with private insurance, the survey showed.
While 91% of women surveyed were happy with the maternity care they received, satisfaction was lower among those who said they had been mistreated.
Other forms of mistreatment identified included having requests for help refused or ignored (9.7%); being shouted at or scolded by health care providers (6.7%); having their physical privacy violated (5.1%), or being threatened that treatment would be withheld or being forced to treatment they didn't want (4.6%).
Among women who reported any form of mistreatment, 75.1% were satisfied with the care they received during pregnancy.
The survey, conducted April 24-30, also looked at various forms of discrimination.
In all, 29% of respondents reported discrimination during maternity care. The most common grounds cited were age, weight and income.
Black mothers (40.1%), multiracial mothers (39.4%) and Hispanic mothers (36.6%) reported the highest rates of discrimination.
Among multiracial respondents, the most common reasons were age (16.7%) and a difference in opinion with caregivers about the right care for oneself or one's baby (12.1%).
Nearly half of respondents said they had held back from discussing concerns with their provider or asking questions, because they thought what they were feeling was normal, didn’t want to make a big deal about it, or felt embarrassed. In all, 20.7% said they held back in fear that their health care provider would think they were being difficult. Other respondents did so because their provider seemed rushed.
The comments related to respondents' experiences during pregnancy or delivery of their youngest child. Nearly two-thirds reported that their youngest was under 5 years of age.
Report co-author Dr. Wanda Barfield, director of the CDC's Division of Reproductive Health, said there are ways to promote more respectful care for women during pregnancy and delivery.
This starts with health care providers engaging in active listening and being more culturally aware, she said.
“Health care systems can train health care professionals to recognize unconscious bias and stigma and support shared decision making,” Houry added.
In addition, she said, promoting a more diverse workforce can help address some of the issues highlighted in the new survey.
The Hear Her campaign provides more on how to prevent pregnancy-related deaths.

Shelter Dogs Vulnerable to Diseases Spread by Ticks, Mosquitoes
By Cara Murez HealthDay ReporterFRIDAY, Aug. 25, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Warming temperatures may be bringing a new risk for shelter dogs: the spread of tick- and mosquito-borne disease in a broader geographic area, according to a new study.
Bites from these pests can cause serious illness in dogs, including heartworm and Lyme disease.
The study, on shelter dogs in the eastern United States, shows that they may experience the brunt of warmer weather, but these diseases can be prevented with medication.
“This study shows us how important those preventive medications are,” said lead author Corinna Hazelrig, a current doctoral student at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine.
"Preventatives can be expensive, and some pet owners may not want to or be able to invest in them. However, these pathogens are common throughout the eastern United States, and the best management strategy for your pet’s health is to use preventive medications on a regular basis," she said in a university news release.
Researchers analyzed blood samples from 3,750 dogs from animal shelters in 19 states across the eastern United States to determine the prevalence of heartworm and three types of tick-borne bacteria.
More than 1 in 10 of the dogs were infected with heartworm.
More than 8% of the dogs had been exposed to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.
Another 10% were infected with bacteria that cause anaplasmosis or ehrlichiosis, two less well-known tick-borne diseases.
Nearly 5% of the dogs were infected with multiple diseases.
In order to receive the preventative medications, dogs need access to veterinary care. Many neglected or stray animals taken to shelters have not been given these preventive medications for a long time, if ever.
The study pointed out that heartworm infections may be treatable with medication and or surgery, but that’s expensive. Many long-term infections are difficult to treat and may be fatal. All of the tick-borne bacteria seen in the study require antibiotics to treat the infection.
Heartworm can damage the heart, lungs and other arteries if left untreated. Lyme disease can cause loss of appetite, fatigue, lameness and kidney damage.
“People in the Northeastern U.S. don’t think heartworm is in their region, and people in the Southeastern U.S. don’t think Lyme disease is in their region,” Hazelrig said. “However, we detected heartworm in Maine, and we detected exposure to the causative agent of Lyme disease in Virginia. The change in our climate is allowing the geographic range of ticks and mosquitoes to expand."
Study findings were published recently in the journal Parasites & Vectors.
The increasing presence of these disease-carrying ticks and mosquitoes should be concerning to even people without pets, who can also suffer illness from the tick-borne diseases. More than 30,000 confirmed cases of Lyme disease are reported each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a number that’s likely significantly underestimated.
A UGA study in collaboration with Clemson University in South Carolina found that areas where more dogs are exposed to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease have higher rates of human infection as well.
"These data help us understand the distribution of these pathogens, how their distributions are changing and where we may expect human infections to occur," said Michael Yabsley, an author on both studies and a professor in UGA’s Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources and the College of Veterinary Medicine.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine has more on Lyme disease.

If you don’t use social media marketing, your brand can no longer afford it. With the arrival of social media, the entire marketing landscape has been transformed. Marketers were able to access previously inaccessible or difficult-to-use routes. You no longer must wait for hours or even days for your material to spread throughout the world thanks to an easy-to-use and powerful tool at your command. You can hire online marketing experts in New Zealand, or decide to do it yourself.
The rise of social networking in the previous decade has transformed internet marketing for businesses, and many companies use social media. Some may have found social Media more successful in the sea of internet marketing, while others have struggled to find their groove in the murky waters. While there are some businesses that social media works better for, every business should at least have a social media profile set up correctly with the correct contact information.More so, utilizing every social media opportunity will benefit your business and effectively reach your target audience.
There are millions of people on these social platforms, you need to be visible, and the information on your profile needs to be accurate. Here are some of the biggest reasons why social networking is essential for organizations of all sizes.
Easily Connect with Potential Customers
Many of your current and potential consumers and customers are on social media, so why not take advantage of this opportunity? You can use social media to provide customer care, interact with your consumers, conduct market research, and more. Your sector may influence which social media platform best suits your business’s needs. You may utilize simple market research to determine which social networks the target demographic prefers the most.
Improved Customer Relationships
Customers feel as though they have a personal connection with you because of how your internet audience perceives you. Customers are more likely to buy from a company they have a personal connection to rather than a faceless, impersonal corporation. You’ll experience a jump in growth and client loyalty if you keep engaged and provide high-quality services and products. And don’t forget to make postcards and send them out via e-mail or social media. Using them is an effective way to attract new customers and retain existing ones.
Boosts Profit Margins and Sales
Social Media is a terrific way to connect with your customers and provide them with further information about your brand, products, promotions, and specials. Social Media isn’t a quick fix for increasing sales, but you’ll see a boost in sales over time if done correctly.
Unique Platform for E-Commerce
With the help of YouTube’s interactive videos, your customers can make a purchase decision right from the video. To construct a sales funnel straight into your business’s Facebook page, you can use Facebook applications. Companies can also use social media to connect clients to items and services they can buy online. On Facebook, where people are more likely to have personal interactions with their Facebook friends, social media can be as potent as a word-of-mouth recommendation.
Critical Factor in Search Engine Ranking
Quality content and many backlinks to your website are the foundations of a successful search engine optimization campaign. Users may easily share your content on their social media accounts, thereby boosting the number of inbound links to your content on your website. Social media consumption is the primary method for content consumption.

On this day in 1948, hundreds of armed Zionist militias from the Irgun and Stern paramilitary organizations walked into the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin, near Jerusalem, and carried out a brutal massacre.
Deir Yassin was a peaceful village. Its less than 1,000 residents enjoyed a degree of economic prosperity. The village was famous for its limestone-cutting business.

But all that peaceful life was turned upside down after the massacre, where 250 and 350 local Palestinian residents were brutally killed. The majority of the victims of the massacre were women, children and the elderly.

After being taken prisoner, many villagers were paraded through Jerusalem’s Old City by the militias in order to widely publicize their “victory” in Deir Yassin. In several other Palestinian villages, Nakba survivors reportedly fled after hearing about the massacre in Deir Yassin, fearing similar violence.
Tomorrow the 9th of April marks the anniversary of the Deir Yassin massacre in Palestine.
This heinous massacre committed by a Jewish militia, against the Palestinians.
The number of the unarmed victims that they brutally slaughtered is estimated to be between 250 to 360. pic.twitter.com/2cTsj9SKL4— Palestinian Refugee Project (@PRefugeeProject) April 8, 2022
Others who survived, fearful and terrified, left their homes and properties to seek shelter elsewhere. They became just another number in the still ongoing uprooting of Palestinians from their homes. No one has ever been held accountable for the Deir Yassin massacre.

It's common for highly skilled individuals to have unimpressive written bios. This includes individuals with PhDs who fail to mention their credentials, or experts who have presented at top corporations or appeared in national media without highlighting these achievements in their bios. For instance, a client once admitted to omitting a major project they collaborated on with a prominent Hollywood producer because it was unpaid. In my opinion, this detail is irrelevant as no one is aware of it or gives it any importance.
Authors have different bios for different needs. For example, you may have a speaker bio slightly different from your author bio on the back of your book. Regardless, any bio should have the same basic structure.
Your bio should read like a short introduction to your life's work and your most recent/relevant work—all in a few sentences. Include only the most significant, most important information, like your current profession, business, the title of your current book, degrees if they're from a well-known institution, prominent media if you've been featured in something national, places where you've spoken that are worth mentioning (like Apple, Amazon, Omega, TedX, etc.), and of course, your website. You should have a few versions of your bio: very short (50 words), short (150 words), and long (up to 500 words) – all available on the press page of your website. For anything longer, post a link on your website's bio page and make a PDF download of your CV. I also find it's nice to end with something personal and, of course, how to find more information about you and contact you.
Here's a good example of a medium-length bio:
Dr. Ken Druck is one of the world's leading experts on grief and resilience. Since losing his own daughter in a tragic accident and working with families after 9/11, Sandy Hook, and Columbine, he has dedicated his life to providing roadmaps for getting through life's most daunting and difficult times and navigating its daily ups and downs. Dr. Ken is a bestselling author of several books, including his most recent, How We Go On: Self-Compassion, Courage, and Gratitude on the Path Forward. He is a recipient of the prestigious Distinguished Contribution to Psychology award and a noted speaker for conferences, special gatherings, and global organizations. Dr. Ken lives in San Diego with his family and beloved Boxer, Jack. Find him at www.kendruck.com.
A bio aims to frame the you precisely as you want to be seen and provide a consistent message across all channels. By making your bio available quickly and easily, you're making the media's job easier, which puts you a step ahead of 90% of others and makes you more likely to get featured and asked back!

We have some good news for you if spring cleaning chores are frustrating and time-consuming for you. As the technicians clean and sanitise your property following your checklist and requests, you are now able to enjoy more free time. Doing it yourself is time-consuming and inefficient. Why not let your expert cleaners do the hard job for you?
What our carpet cleaning process in Lower Plenty entails
Below are the steps that are involved in carpet cleaning.
Firstly, the technician examines your rug to figure out how it was made and what type of fiber it is, noting any worn out areas, heavy soiling, or particular stains that need special attention.
Rugs are vacuumed to open the pile, pre-sprinkled to prevent staining, and cleaned with solvents to loosen stains. We will use either a hot water extraction treatment or a dry cleaning technique for the main treatment. When a water-based cleaning method will be used, a spray is applied to the whole carpeting to loosen dirt.
Dry or steam carpet cleaning
When compared to HWE, old-fashioned steam cleaning is largely ineffective. A hot water extraction method is used to perform deep cleaning. The machine injects hot water and detergent deep between the carpet fibres as the technician slides the cleaning wand over the pile. Filth is easily dislodged due to the high pressure and temperature. At the same time, all moisture and dislodged filth are being removed by a suction attachment at the nozzle. By doing this, about 95% of the moisture is removed and the items are left almost dry. For sensitive natural-fibre rugs, we offer a dry cleaning solution.
Your freshly cleaned items can be treated with an anti-stain coating to protect them from spills and stains in the future. Within a few hours after cleaning, they will air dry on their own. The drying time can be reduced by leaving a window open to improve aeration.

Teams trade draft picks all the time, and few teams hang on to all of their original picks in each draft, so for the fun of it, here’s all the picks at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft that started out as Toronto’s and who was selected with them by some other team:
This pick was traded on the draft floor to St. Louis for the 29th and the 76th. The Blues initiated this trade and traded up to take forward Dominik Bokk. So, that means they didn’t take Joe Veleno either. Huh.
Bokk is the German winger playing in the SHL and the Swedish junior league. He’s a teammate of Pontus Holmberg, who the Leafs selected with a much later pick. Bokk was ranked 18 on Bob McKenzie’s consensus rankings, but the middle portion of that list did not get drafted as expected.
This pick went to Montréal as part of the Tomas Plekanec trade. The Habs took Jacob Olofsson. He’s a Swedish centre who was ranked 40th on McKenzie’s list. The Leafs passed him by to take Sean Durzi at 52.
This pick has been on an odyssey. The Leafs gave it up as the compensation pick for signing Lou Lamoriello, so if the hockey gods had been paying attention, it should have ended up with the Islanders.
Instead, the Devils traded it to the Capitals as part of the Marcus Johansson deal. The Capitals traded it to Chicago as part of the Michal Kempny trade, which is likely the smartest deadline deal made last season.
On draft day, Chicago gave the Coyotes two picks, including this one, for a higher third-round pick. Arizona then traded this pick to San Jose for a fourth- and fifth-rounder.
The Sharks took Linus Karlsson, a Swedish centre who has not quite graduated from junior hockey.
The Sharks had lost their own third-round pick to the Leafs in the James Reimer deal. The Leafs took Riley Stotts with that pick.
This pick was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights for Calvin Pickard. Vegas took Peter Diliberatore, a Canadian defender who is going the NCAA route.
The Leafs replaced this pick by swapping next-year’s sixth-round for this year’s with the Sabres. They took Pontus Holmberg with it.

Russia will soon complete the delivery of the third regiment of S-400 missile systems
Russian envoy Denis Alipov on Monday said in New Delhi that Russia will “soon” complete the supplies of the third regiment of the S-400 Triumf surface-to-air missile systems to India as both sides are committed to the contract. Interestingly, Russia had already supplied the same S-400 missiles to China by December 2021 and China had already pointed these missiles against India in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh areas. It must be remembered that S-400 is having Chinese software, which means China can do remote tricks.
Interestingly, after getting full money of more than Rs.25,000 crore in 2019, Russia was delaying the delivery of S-400 missiles, while supplying the same missiles to China. Russia ditched India?
“It will be completed in the very near future…Both sides are committed to completing the whole contract and we certainly will do that. Nothing prevents that,” Russian Ambassador to India Dennis Alipov said on Monday in New Delhi at a media interaction. The Russian envoy to India was replying to a question on the missile system supplies at a conference on India-Russia ties. Russia has already completed supplies of the first two regiments of the missile systems.
Asked whether he sees any role for India in ending the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Alipov said Moscow is open to any serious talks on ending it diplomatically. “As my Foreign minister says that we are open to any serious proposition whosoever offers them. We are open to any serious talks on ending it diplomatically,” he added. “At the moment, there are none. If India wants to take a more active part in that, we will certainly listen to India very very closely and we will examine all the proposals in a very serious manner,” he said.
“But whether India wants to get involved into this very very complicated conflict, I do not think that is a question for me,” he said. The Russian envoy also described his country’s defence ties with India as “unprecedented”.
“The licensed production in India of T-90 tanks, the SU-30MKI fighters, AK-203 assault rifles, and a whole lot of armaments and components fully comply with the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives,” he said, adding that: “The unique joint venture on supersonic cruise missile BrahMos is a role model. Russia and India are committed to all agreements, including the contract for the advanced S-400 Triumf air defence systems that are being implemented.”
In October 2018, India signed a USD 5 billion deal with Russia to buy five units of the S-400 air defence missile systems, notwithstanding a warning by the US that going ahead with the contract may invite US sanctions under the provisions of Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).
Russia started delivery of the first regiment of the missile systems in December 2021 and it has been deployed to cover parts of the border with China in the northern sector as well as the frontier with Pakistan.

In addition to patients and their prescribing physicians, a more cost-effective opioid addiction treatment should be welcome news to insurance companies, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Veterans Health Administration and other payors, pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs), managed care facilities, drug addiction and recovery organizations and treatment advocacy groups as well. Generic drugs are saving the U.S. healthcare system one billion dollars every other day, according to the Generic Pharmaceutical Association.
“The FDA’s decision to approve the first generic equivalents to Suboxone ® sublingual tablets will ensure that millions of patients in the U.S. who need this product now have access to a high quality, low cost generic version,” said Chirag Patel, President and Co-Chairman of Amneal. “Since the agency has issued its opinion on Reckitt Benckiser’s September 2012 Citizen’s Petition in favor of generic competition, Amneal’s buprenorphine HCl and naloxone HCl tablets can offer consumers and physicians greater choice in opioid addiction treatment. We are also pleased that the FDA has referred this matter to the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and address Reckitt’s anticompetitive business practices.”
“We appreciate the FDA’s thorough assessment of Reckitt’s Citizen’s Petition and applaud their recent decision to deny it in its entirety,” said Chintu Patel, Amneal CEO and Co-Chairman. “The FDA determined that Reckitt’s petition did not raise valid scientific or regulatory issues associated with the product, which Amneal contended in its comments on the petition. Physicians should have no concerns in writing prescriptions for the generic tablet form of the product.”
Manufactured in Amneal’s fully FDA-compliant Brookhaven, NY facility, buprenorphine HCl and naloxone HCl tablets will be available through wholesalers and distributors as well as directly to the trade. The product received FDA approval under an approved Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), known as the Buprenorphine-containing Transmucosal products for Opioid Dependence (BTOD) REMS program, and will be distributed in accordance with FDA and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations governing the handling of CIII controlled substances. The generic tablets will be available to patients when the BTOD REMS program becomes operational in early March.

Have any suggestions for the 3 Count? Let me know via Twitter @plagiarismtoday.
First off today, Samantha Handler at Bloomberg Law reports that the film studio Mirimax has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against director Quentin Tarantino over Tarantino’s plans to release of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) related to the film Pulp Fiction.
Earlier this month, Tarantino announced he would be selling NFTs based on “previously unknown secrets” from the film including extended scenes, pages of the script and more. However, according to the lawsuit, Mirimax owns the rights to the film a Tarantino did not clear the NFT sales with them.
NFTs are unique digital tokens tracked by a blockchain. They are a way to sell “unique” copies of digital works but do not transfer any rights. Nonetheless, Mirimax claims to hold all the copyrights and trademarks related to the film, prompting them to file a lawsuit for breach of contract, copyright infringement, trademark infringement and unfair competition.
Next up today, Alison Flood at The Guardian reports that, in the UK, a self-published author has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against a major retailer, John Lewis, over a 2019 Christmas ad that featured an excitable and accident-prone dragon.
According to the author, Fay Evans, the character in the commercial is strikingly similar to her picture book Fred the Fire-Sneezing Dragon, which she published in 2017. According to Evans, both stories feature a dragon whose fire-related accidents cause them to be hated by those around them until they’re able to find a way to put their fire breath to a good holiday-appropriate use.
John Lewis, however, denies any copying and claims to have provided time-stamped evidence that their campaign was first presented to them in early 2016, before her book was published.
Finally today, Colin Mann at Advanced Television reports that a Texas judge has entered a judgment against the South Asian pirate IPTV service Chitram TV.
The lawsuit was coordinated by the International Broadcaster Coalition Against Piracy and headed by the member company DISH Network. The lawsuit accuses Chitram of illegally making available content owned by various cable and satellite networks, including DISH, and the judge has found in their favor.
In addition to some $31 million in damages, the judge also issued a sweeping injunction ordering domain registrars, content delivery networks and other providers to cease working with the site.

4 Reasons to Invest in Fall Furnace Maintenance Today in Ogden, NC
The fall season is finally here, and although a cozy sweater will keep you warm, you’ll need to switch on your furnace for extra heat. However, before you begin using the heating system, you should schedule furnace maintenance. Read on to understand the benefits of scheduling furnace maintenance this fall in Ogden, NC.
Reduce Your Energy Bills
Buildup of dust and dirt will prevent the furnace from performing at its peak. The system has to work harder to deliver heat to the home. Running a clogged furnace continuously during the fall season will cause a significant increase in energy bills.
However, scheduling preventive maintenance before the cold season begins will make your furnace run more efficiently and smoothly. This is because a clean and maintained furnace doesn’t have to work as hard as a clogged unit does.
Save on Costly Repairs
Scheduling maintenance for your furnace during the fall will save you the repair costs that result from unexpected breakdowns. Ignoring maintenance services can cause minor issues to escalate to larger ones that are likely more expensive than scheduling maintenance.
An HVAC service tech will identify any problems with your furnace and address them during preventative maintenance. The sooner you get the minor issues in your heater fixed, the higher the chances of reducing unexpected furnace breakdowns.
Assure Household Safety
Furnaces use propane, oil or natural gas to provide heat for your home. A small crack on the heating system will cause these harmful gases to leak into your home, which can lead to serious health problems and even death. During your annual furnace tuneup, the service tech will check for any cracks, which will help keep your family safe throughout the cold season.
Increase Lifespan of the Furnace
Ignoring maintenance services for your furnace could lead to breakdowns that might require replacing the unit entirely, which can be expensive. Scheduling regular maintenance services can extend the lifespan of your unit for up to 20 years, while lack of proper maintenance will have the unit lasting 10 years or less.
If you reside in Ogden, NC, schedule fall furnace maintenance with the service techs at Pleasant Air Inc. We’ll inspect your HVAC system and make sure everything is in order before you switch on the heat this season.

The route was superb taking in some of the most scintillating roads North Devon and West Somerset can offer.
The weather conditions added yet another challenge for drivers and I particularly enjoyed barrelling through the mists up on the moors. Unfortunately, some the magnificent vistas afforded from those roads were completely obscured - so not so good for the passengers.
The Blue Ball at Countisbury and Sheppy's Cider Farm at Bradford welcomed us warmly and looked after us very well, notwithstanding it was a bank holiday weekend and they were very busy.
Here are a couple of photos at Sheppy's, unfortunately all I have of the day, but maybe others can post some more interesting shots.

Synopses & Reviews
How did the emigration of nineteenth-century Britons to colonies of settlement shape Victorian literature? Philip Steer uncovers productive networks of writers and texts spanning Britain, Australia, and New Zealand to argue that the novel and political economy found common colonial ground over questions of British identity. Each chapter highlights the conceptual challenges to the nature of 'Britishness' posed by colonial events, from the gold rushes to invasion scares, and traces the literary aftershocks in familiar genres such as the bildungsroman and the utopia. Alongside lesser-known colonial writers such as Catherine Spence and Julius Vogel, British novelists from Dickens to Trollope are also put in a new light by this fresh approach that places Victorian studies in a colonial perspective. Bringing together literary formalism and British World history, Settler Colonialism in Victorian Literature describes how what it meant to be 'British' was re-imagined in an increasingly globalized world.

PTS Names Director of New Center for Writing and Learning Support
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is pleased to name Dr. Mary O’Shan (Shan) Overton as the director of the new Center for Writing and Learning Support.
“The Center for Writing and Learning support will provide a great resource for students, faculty, and the broader community. Dr. Overton has taught writing to a wide range of individuals—from college and seminary students to parochial school teachers and doctoral students in theology—and has worked directly with faculty on pedagogical approaches to teaching and writing in coursework. We’re excited about the insight and leadership she’ll bring to the Center and to the Seminary,” said the Rev. Dr. David Esterline, president and professor of cross-cultural theological education at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
Overton graduated from Boston College (PhD), Vanderbilt University Divinity School (MDiv), Middle Tennessee State University (MA), and University of Tennessee (BA, summa cum laude). Her doctoral dissertation addressed the teaching of writing in theological education. “My research and writing are aimed at creating new ways for theological educators to assist students in working across cultures, disciples, and fields in order to construct effective prophetic and pastoral voices for a wide range of public lay and ordained ministries in their communities and around the world,” said Overton.
Overton has authored a number of published works and presented on theology and writing. She is a member of the American Academy of Religion, Association of Practical Theology, Religious Education Association, and Association of Writers & Writing Programs, and has served the Episcopal Church through various committees.
Overton’s most recent teaching and administrative experience includes serving as adjunct professor at Volunteer State Community College (Gallatin, Tenn.). Previously she was interim head chaplain and chair of the Religious Studies Department at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School (Atlanta, Ga.), writing tutor and instructor at Vanderbilt University Divinity School (Nashville, Tenn.), and instructor at Middle Tennessee State University (Murfreesboro, Tenn.). She also held various writing positions at Boston College (Chestnut Hill, Mass.). She’ll begin her work at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in June 2017.

First, I want to thank you, Ambassador Ischinger. It’s a great initiative to bring together again, transatlantic partners to discuss the great challenges ahead.
In the last seventy-five years, the relationship between Europe and the United States has been the backbone of the rules-based international order. This partnership is underpinned by multiple pillars: our security and defense alliance through NATO; our strong economic cooperation; and, of course, the rich relationship between our peoples.
This is a critical time for Europe, for the United States, and for the world. And we are confronted by massive challenges. This makes our alliance with the US both vibrant and vital. And again, it’s more necessary than ever. This is why the European Council — all 27 EU leaders together — have reaffirmed its strategic importance. I believe both sides now want to rejuvenate and solidify our bond. I call it — a “New Founding Pact”.
It’s worth reflecting on what the fundamentals of this pact should be. I sum it up in three words: values, prosperity and influence.
First, our values. Together, our values are those of the free world: human dignity, democracy, freedom and the rule of law. These values represent the cornerstone of our relationship.
If our relationship went through four bumpy years, it was not because of differences of views or interests. These are normal. Rather, it was because respecting rules, and respecting agreements, were no longer a “given”. That’s why we appreciate the commitment expressed by President Biden: “We will lead not merely by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.”
It’s precisely when we respect our common values, when we respect each other as equal partners, that we can resolve our differences.
It’s precisely when those values are challenged by others, that we must lead by example, to defend them and promote them, at home and abroad.
Today, recovering from COVID-19 is our first priority. More than ever, we must show our peoples that our system of free societies, and open economies, works. And that it works for all.
We — the EU and US — need to join forces to make trade, digital development, green transition and fair taxation contribute to greater prosperity and well-being for our citizens. We want to build back a better, fairer and greener world. For all. This is our European ambition. And we think international cooperation is the only way to succeed.
Now that America, under the Biden-Harris administration, re-joins this common endeavour, our alliance — along with our like-minded partners — constitutes a formidable and influential power.
When we are on the same page, we have greater influence to promote democracy and drive forward our economies. Together, we are stronger to defend the rules-based international order from the attacks of autocratic regimes, whether from Russia, China or Iran. And we are stronger to ensure peace and security.
When we share the same view of prosperity and well-being, we have greater capacity to deal with major economic actors, to bring them to more fairness and reciprocity while avoiding detrimental competition between ourselves.
A strong partnership needs strong partners. That’s why we, in Europe, are growing stronger, to increase our strategic ability to act. For our common values, for more prosperity and for more security. We want to be a strong and reliable partner. Let’s make our partnership a powerhouse for a better world. Welcome back America

The National Research Council (NRC) has done extensive work to determine the caloric requirements of animals in different physiologic states (maintenance, pregnancy, lactation, growth, etc.) under different environmental conditions and various levels of weight gain, etc. Ranch Vision uses this information to calculate the amount of grass energy required to meet the nutritional needs of the animals on your ranch.
A Grazing Unit Month (GUM) is a unit of measure for grass energy. The GUM is the amount of forage required to provide 10 megacalories (Mcal) of net energy per day for one twelfth of the year. This is approximately equivalent to the energy requirements for one month of a 1000-lb (450 kg) dry cow in late pregnancy and is roughly equivalent to an Animal Unit Month (AUM).
Ranch Vision projects the grazing requirements of the various grazing livestock enterprises in terms of GUM.

A Belfast parcel delivery service that meets all your bulk shipping needs
If there’s one thing we pride ourselves on at RapidParcel.com, it’s that we keep things simple. We realise that, with the million and one things there are to do every day, the last thing you need is for arranging a package delivery to Belfast to be a complicated process. That’s why we use our years of experience to make sure that it isn’t.
Belfast is the capital city of Northern Ireland and seat of the devolved government, with a population of more than two hundred and fifty thousand people. In recent years, with the end of the political violence which afflicted the city for many decades, Belfast has seen its economy and infrastructure boosted significantly, leading to a large influx of investment and tourism. In 2008, 7.1 million tourists visited Belfast, drawn by, among other things, attractions such as Belfast Zoo, the Botanic Gardens and the famous Grand Opera House.
The perfect courier service for private and commercial customers
It’s easy to see, then, why the demand for shipping to Belfast is higher now than it’s ever been, and it’s a demand that we at RapidParcel.com are ready and able to meet. Many people will wish to make just a single package delivery to Belfast, sending a gift or keepsake to a friend perhaps, and we’re happy to ensure they’ll get the best possible service at the most competitive price. Often, however, we work with business customers wishing to arrange repeat or multiple deliveries. We realise that when you’re running a business you want to keep the time spent organising the likes of a parcel delivery to Belfast down to the very minimum, and when you need to repeat the process on a regular basis then this becomes even more vital. Time is, quite literally, money, and we aim to save you plenty of both.
That’s why we developed our bulk upload facility, which allows you, via our website, to arrange numerous package deliveries to different addresses at the same time. Not only that, but you can subsequently track all the parcels you’re shipping to Belfast on one page of our site, once again reducing the time you have to devote to dealing with your parcel delivery to Belfast.
The combination of bulk shipping and the other facilities we offer means that RapidParcel.com is the best choice for any business, whether you’re making a package delivery to Dublin or a Cork package delivery.
Opening a free account with RapidParcel.com makes booking your courier delivery even easier. We will provide you with a dedicated customer support agent whose task is to offer you assistance in any and all of your searches, selection, queries and dealings with us.

Your parcel delivery to Belfast is in safe hands when you book it through RapidParcel.com.

Within the financial sector, ASX bank shares are far and away the most popular. We will step through the absolute basics of valuing a bank share like Commonwealth Bank of Australia. If you’re truly interested in understanding more about how to value a bank share, you should consider watching this tutorial from the analyst team at Rask Australia.
CBA share price: valuation in action
The price-earnings ratio, which is short for price-to-earnings, is a basic but popular valuation ratio. It compares yearly profit (or ‘earnings’) to today’s share price ($118.87). Unfortunately, it’s not the perfect tool for bank shares, so it’s essential to use more than just PE ratios for your analysis.
That said, it can be handy to compare PE ratios across shares from the same sector (banking) and determine what is reasonable — and what isn’t.
If we take the CBA share price today ($118.87), together with the earnings (aka profits) per share data from its 2023 financial year ($5.89), we can calculate the company’s PE ratio to be 20.2x. That compares to the banking sector average PE of 15x.
Next, take the profits per share (EPS) ($5.89) and multiply it by the average PE ratio for CBA’s sector (Banking). This results in a ‘sector-adjusted’ PE valuation of $85.64.
What are CBA’s dividends worth to an investor?
A DDM is a more interesting and robust way of valuing companies in the banking sector, given that the dividends are pretty consistent.
DDM valuation modeling is one of the oldest methods used on Wall Street to value companies, and it’s still used here in Australia by bank analysts. A DDM model takes the most recent full year dividends (e.g. from last 12 months or LTM), or forecast dividends, for next year and then assumes the dividends grow at a consistent rate for a forecast period (e.g. 5 years or forever).
To make this DDM easy to understand, we will assume last year’s dividend payment ($4.50) grows at a fixed rate each year.
Next, we pick the ‘risk’ rate or expected return rate. This is the rate at which we discount the future dividend payments back to today’s dollars. The higher the ‘risk’ rate, the lower the share price valuation.
We’ve used a blended rate for dividend growth and a risk rate between 6% and 11%, then got the average.
This simple DDM valuation of CBA shares is $85.78. However, using an ‘adjusted’ dividend payment of $4.37 per share, the valuation goes to $78.33. The expected dividend valuation compares to Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s share price of $118.87. Since the company’s dividends are fully franked, you might choose to make one further adjustment and do the valuation based on a ‘gross’ dividend payment. That is, the cash dividends plus the franking credits (available to eligible shareholders). Using the forecast gross dividend payment ($6.24), our valuation of the CBA share price guesstimate to $111.91.
CBA share price summary
You could consider using these models as the starting point for your process for analysing and valuing a bank share like CBA. However, please remember that these are just tools used by analysts and in reality, a good analyst and investor will likely conduct 100+ hours of qualitative research before diving into their spreadsheet and starting their modelling.
For example, we spend a lot of our time looking at bank shares and writing about them, but if we were thinking about investing in a bank today we would want to get a handle on its growth strategy, economic indicators like unemployment, and then study house prices and consumer sentiment.

You may think that bad credit history or a poor credit score would prevent you from qualifying from a car loan. Even if your credit score is 500 or lower, you still have multiple financing and loan options if you’re looking to purchase a car. Here are four steps to securing a loan and buying a car, even with bad credit:
1. Check your credit history: If you have poor credit history or you aren’t sure what your credit score is, be sure to pull your credit report online before submitting car loan application. Examining your credit report will help you better understand what types of car loans and interest rates you may qualify for. You can view your free credit report from the three major consumer credit reporting companies once a year at www.annualcreditreport.com. Try to reconcile any delinquent accounts or accounts in collections that you find on your credit report before applying for an auto loan. By clearing up these outstanding loans, you could improve your credit score, even in the short term.
2. Secure financing from your bank: Your bank is the best place to start when applying for a car loan. As a loyal bank customer, you may be more likely to qualify for financing (or even a better interest rate) than if you approached another lender. Your bank may consider other factors beyond your credit history, including your financial history with the bank and the types of accounts you have open.
3. Shop around for a car loan: Regardless of your credit history, it’s always a smart idea to shop around for the best loan terms and interest rates before walking into a dealership to purchase a car. Car dealers take a cut from financing that they secure for a customer. Financing through a dealership will likely cost you more than going straight to the bank or the lender yourself; ideally, you should secure a car loan before you walk into the car dealership.
4. Consider other ways to buy a car: Finally, if your credit score is preventing you from qualifying for a car loan with a reasonable interest rate, consider forgoing a loan altogether. You may want to consider buying a used car at a discounted price instead of buying a new vehicle or saving up for the purchase overtime and paying with cash.

With RBB celebrating our 45th anniversary this year, I've thought a lot about how we got here and what I wish I knew all those years ago. In order to communicate that, I decided to write a letter to my former self. Here is that letter:
To my former self,
Buckle up, Bruce! You’re in for a wild ride, one of the best and most memorable journeys of your life.
You’re joining RBB at a crossroads in its history. The company is growing explosively right now, propelled mostly by a single client who has gone from 5% to 50% of the business over the past year. You’ll soon discover that this is only one in a long line of pivotal moments that have come before you; many you’ll overcome with grit, several you’ll navigate RBB through at the helm, and there will even be a few where you’ll witness your successors pilot the RBB ship.
Along the way, you’ll have the privilege of working shoulder-to-shoulder with the most genuine people you’ve ever worked with. Treasure it, Bruce! Your tendency to “live in the future” helps you lead but it also removes you from the present moment.
Since our founding in 1973, the electronics industry has transformed itself innumerable times. Technologies come and go… as do our clients’ devices that employ them… so take it in stride when it happens again. For 45 years, RBB has successfully morphed to accommodate our clients’ changing needs (not the other way around), so Bruce: this is true north. Save everyone some aggravation; the sooner you continue to identify and accept the “new” needs, the better!
You will observe dramatic upheaval in the EMS business as contract manufacturers (CMs) merge, fail, or get bought up by conglomerates. Strong, midsize, independent CMs like RBB have frequently disappeared—making our 45-year milestone significant. You will enjoy attracting clients who value working with a progressive, high-tech CM who’s as fast and agile as they are.
Bruce, through all the challenges, growth, and opportunities you’ll face, I want to encourage you to continue to strengthen and fortify the true backbone of RBB—its culture of trust. Every trust-building investment you’ll make along the way, such as communication training, open-book management, incentive pay, tuition reimbursement, the RBB Behaviors, and the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), will pay off in great mojo. Knowing that RBB-ers come to work happy, unified, capable, and excited to serve our clients may be your greatest achievement.
Finally, when you started, there was no way to predict that on RBB’s 45th anniversary you’d be moving, again, into a new headquarters building across town to accommodate your business expansion. With a more secure and better-flowing workspace, more professional offices, and room for continued growth, RBB will set yet another new platform for the next chapter of opportunities.
Keep it up. Pass it on. Let the impact of RBB be felt by our clients, team members, and community for the next 45 years!

Your customers want their packages to arrive quickly and undamaged. Fulfilling this demand is just a normal part of the business.
Sadly, this part often feels more like a constant struggle than growth for many local businesses. However, all it takes is just a small amount of research and prep work to achieve this goal. Furthermore, there are several ways to go about it.
You could hire more drivers, offer new shipping modes, or even offer expedited services at a premium rate.
Or, you could save all the money it costs to restructure your business, and instead, invest it in dynamic routing software.
Dynamic routing software is used by large companies that regularly transport goods across multiple routes.
However, you don't need to be a multi-billion-dollar corporation in order to use dynamic routing software.
So, let's dive in and discuss a few of the ways that dynamic routing software can benefit just about any local delivery service.
Dynamic routing software uses a series of advanced blockchain platforms to do what it does. Combine that with mathematic algorithms and tracking software that help delivery companies achieve faster delivery times by mapping out better, quicker routes.
This type of platform helps businesses of all sizes improve the on-road efficiency of their delivery routes. Additionally, it allows them to better communicate with customers, couriers, suppliers, vendors, or anybody else who's involved in the delivery process.
They are customized with unique tools and functions relevant to specific industries.
For example, a bakery likely has different on-road delivery expectations than an auto parts store. Best of all, it is configured with tools to help a company realize a higher number for their specific metrics. This is, of course, regardless of the industry or benchmarks the company is trying to reach.
Arguably, the greatest benefit of using this revolutionary software is that it removes the guesswork from route planning and measuring delivery efficiency. Once configured to your individual requirements, it is pretty much just "plug-and-play" from that point forward.
Can we say user-friendly?
If you were to ask 100 local delivery companies about the top 5 metrics that determine or define route efficiency, you will likely get 100 different answers.
However, there are 3 specific areas that all delivery companies struggle with - and dynamic routing software can help combat.
Most local based businesses deal with delivery delays every day.
Whether it's weather delays, construction, or detours, avoiding these delays is a primary goal for any business.
Dynamic routing software receives updated information from mobile devices, GPS tracking software or equipment, traffic alerts and other points of data. This permits them the flexibility of re-routing delivery drivers on the fly; which can significantly reduce routing delays, preventing profit losses and enhancing the customer's experience.
Another powerful resource of dynamic routing software is communication tools.
Updated delivery notifications, a change in the delivery address, or reschedules, dynamic routing software handles it all. When used correctly, this can reduce missed deliveries, improve the overall customer experience, and increase stops per hour.
More importantly - it improves your delivery service without reducing your customer service standards.
The objective of any software solution is to help business leaders make better decisions. Dynamic routing software also helps manage fuel efficiency, maintenance, and other expenses. These powerful tools allow fleet and operations managers to review data relative to their departments.
You don't need 1,000 trucks on the road every day to benefit from dynamic routing software. Best yet, these software solutions can be customized and upgraded as needed to ensure you are striking a good balance between profitability and customer service.
If you are running a local delivery company and looking to achieve better results, give us a call here at Redwood Logistics. We have the experience, the dedication and a sharp attention to detail to get you up and running in no time!

If wooden components destroyed by insects or fungi cannot be ablated and then strengthened, the strength of the attacked substance can be increased again by treatment with Remmers Wood Strengthener. To do this, the cleaned surface is repeatedly coated with the agent until saturated. If, on the other hand, it is necessary to restore the former compressive strength of ablated building components (e.g. base points of stands, supports) or to restore the original dimensions (as in the area of monument protection), the removed wood substance can be replaced with Remmers Wood Replacement Compounds.
In order to achieve better adhesion, when using epoxy wood replacement compound, a pre-treatment with epoxy wood consolidation is imperative. The colour can then be matched with suitable Remmers wood coatings.

“Literature is important for ethics because literature is as complicated as life itself, and cannot be decoded or boiled down. Ethical insight comes from reading it–first sequentially and then reflectively–not from trying to extract a ‘message’ from it.”*
This is one of the primary problems I have witnessed in folks reading and preaching from the OT. There is a strong tendency to undo the complexities inherent to the ethics (or theology) of the text and instead seek an abstracted principle that fails to do justice to the fullest intent of the text.
We like to simplify. The problem is that life is not so simple. Ethics (and theology) are not so simple. The teaching of truth in prose or storied form allows for far more complexities to remain including leaving some questions open-ended. And that is a good, even when troubling, thing.
* John Barton, Understanding Old Testament Ethics: Approaches and Explanations (Louisville: John Knox Press, 2003), p.63.

Suitcase stories dementia project
The Suitcase Stories programme is a local reminiscence and arts project which enables dementia patients in care homes to share and relive memories. As part of the project primary pupils have been invited to create drama performances inspired by the patient’s memories. The performances will be filmed and watched by the patients.
Over the past few weeks Year 5 pupils at Cherry Orchard Primary School have been listening to the memories of dementia patients and taking part in drama workshops and games to explore the themes of the memorise and to develop performance skills prior to creating their own dramatisation.
Pupils have also been learning songs that patients have talked about and will perform these to the care home residents.
Suitcase stories has influenced other areas of the curriculum with children making blankets for the dementia patients during design and technology lessons.
As part of the programme pupils have also undertaken dementia awareness training from the Alzheimer’s Society to better understand how a patient with dementia ‘sees the world’.
The project is a great way for the children to learn about the past and to create links with the wider community. We look forward to seeing the final performance.

The Instructables website is a thing of wonder, place for marvelling at the ingenuity of the denizens of this planet of ours. As well as innumerable projects to make from things to cook to gigantic strutures to weld from steel bars the Instructable website hosts a hole variety of contests.
I’ve had some modest success on the site before so I thought I would add another couple of projects and hope that they catch the judges eyes.
In the paper craft contest I have entered Owl Box and in the electronics contest I have entered the Resistor Colour Wheel. I hope they don’t mean that the project has to contain actual electronics! Anyway, wish me luck and if you have

I am quietly hopeful that we'll see a grappling hook in Mad Max. Oh sure, probably not the truly wondrous grappling hook its developers Avalanche Studios put in Just Cause 2 to fling enemies, cars, planes, and yourself around with gay abandon, but perhaps something sufficient for a little automotive japery. There's cinematic precedent for Max and his foes tossing them about, after all, as you know what's useful when trying to catch and murder other people in cars? Grappling hooks.
But enough about grappling hooks. A new trailer giving a teensy peek at Mad Max and its car combat also casually mentions a 2015 launch, which means plans to release Avalanche's open-world post-apocalypse 'em up this year are set back. That's fine. I can wait for a grappling hook.
But lo, what's this car we see the non-Mel-Gibson-looking-aliking Max driving in this trailer? His old ride's been nicked, the story goes, which means part of the game is upgrading an old banger to be a lean, mean, car-crushing machine dressed to the nines with extraneous exhaust pipes and bullbars. Why, there's probably even room to whack a grappling hook on it!
Speaking of grappling hooks, the Internet's eagle eyes have spotted Square Enix recently registered domains for a few more numbered Just Cause sequels. Perhaps this signals more grappling hooks to come, though let's temper expectations as publishers do sometimes like to lock domains down without any firm intent, just in case they later decide to go a-sequelling.

One day when large groups of people were walking along with him, Jesus turned and told them, “Anyone who comes to me but refuses to let go of father, mother, spouse, children, brothers, sisters—yes, even one’s own self!—can’t be my disciple. Anyone who won’t shoulder his own cross and follow behind me can’t be my disciple.” Luke 14:25-27 MSG
Let’s be honest. Anyone walking on the journey of being a disciple, let alone a believer, knows that there are many times where people and/or things can pull us away from following Jesus. We sometimes think that there are more important things to do or people to be with first before Jesus. We are constantly faced with the choice of who is Lord of our lives. We can even think that if I give up these people and things, then I’m losing out on something of great value.
In order for us to have become believers, we had to believe that Jesus gave up His life for us. In order for us to become disciples, Jesus needs to see us give up our lives for Him. The cost was worth everything to Him when He gave up His life for us. The cost is worth it for us to follow Jesus completely, developing in our lives and practicing what Jesus says for us to do. In fact, Jesus sees when we have paid the cost to follow Him and honors that while you are still here on earth and in the life to come with eternal life (read Mark 10:29-31).
We are disciples who are making disciples. If we are not currently looking like this, then we need to understand where we are. So here’s a heart check question: Is there someone and/or something you love more than Jesus? If the answer is yes, take a moment to find out why you are choosing that over Jesus. If you no longer want it to be that way, you can give that person or thing up before God, and repent, make Jesus Lord of your life, and start following Him. After, get into the Word of God with a Bible reading plan, journaling, listen to sermons, get into church and in community with other believers and disciples and let’s grow in Jesus.

NGTs, MEPs vote in favour of mandatory labelling
08 February 2024
The European Parliament adopted its position on New Genomic Techniques (NGTs), voting in favour of mandatory labelling. A development welcomed by SAFE, which believes that the regulations for these gene-edited crops should always prioritise transparency and safety for consumers’ health. Additionally, the information would be mandatory on the whole food value chain, therefore ensuring traceability.
The plenary approved the text with 307 votes in favor, 263 against, and 41 abstentions, with a cross-party majority endorsing the proposal to establish a new framework for New Genomic Techniques (NGTs), which currently fall under the more restrictive regulations for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). MEPs from the center-right European People’s Party (EPP) and the liberal Renew group overwhelmingly supported the text, while the Greens and the Left almost unanimously opposed it.
Lawmakers agreed on the Commission’s proposal to categorize NGTs into two groups: gene-edited plants that are “indistinguishable” from conventionally bred ones (NGT1), exempt from GMO legislation requirements, and those with more “complex modifications” (NGT2), subject to stricter regulations. However, MEPs insisted on mandatory labeling for all products derived from NGT plants, contrary to the Commission’s proposal, which limited labeling to NGT1 plant seeds.
Besides, MEPs voted to exclude all NGTs from organic production “as their compatibility requires further consideration.” Another aspect on which SAFE agrees. While the Commission left the patent question unresolved, MEPs opted for a full ban on patents for NGTs to prevent legal uncertainties, increased costs, and dependencies for farmers and breeders.
A contentious point, according to SAFE, regards the authorisation process and the risk assessment. The position adopted by the Parliament softens the risk assessment for the authorisation of both NGT1 and NGT2, a factor that SAFE considers dangerous. There are no studies on the safety of these gene-edited crops, and a rigorous risk assessment should be maintained to ensure consumers’ health.
The ball is now in the EU Council’s court. Shortly after the European Parliament’s vote, EU member states attempted but failed to reach a consensus, particularly on the patentability of NGTs.
A recent study conducted on household products in the US found high levels of flame retardants in…

Technology is changing every aspect of our lives, including how we search for and buy homes. With access to technology, buyers can view listings that are on the market and look at detailed photos and descriptions of properties without actually being there.
A recent survey from Realtor.com revealed that home buyers are still considering moving forward with the home buying process, even if they can’t see the home in-person. While they still prefer to physically see a home, buyers are open to using technology during their home search process.
Technology can help buyers save a lot of time and hassle by using platforms to “view” properties virtually before they decide which ones to visit in person. And with the current health crisis making things more difficult for buyers to be out and about checking out homes, technology is certainly coming in handy as a way for them to still keep the home search process going.
Here are the tech specs buyers think are most helpful in today’s home search process.

The Most Hilarious Parenting Tweets Of 2015
Parenting is hard. That may sound overly simply, but it doesn’t really need gussying up. It’s simply an accepted truth. What it does need is laughter, and the parents of Twitter have us covered, the whole year through. 2015 brought us so many hilarious parenting tweets about tantruming toddlers, babies who won’t nap, hiding to eat snacks so we don’t have to share and many other indignities only a parent would understand. Sometimes, having kids can be isolating and in our worst moments, we might feel we’re all alone in the madness and that’s what makes social media so great. Thanks so these funny parents firing off one relatable quip after another, we can laugh for a second before plunging back into the wild and ridicuous mess that is raising children. So thank you, parents of Twitter. You’ve kept us smiling when we would otherwise be in tears. Hiding in a closet. Eating Cheetos and drinking wine straight from the bottle. Chances are, we will still do that sometimes. And that’s totally ok.
1. Worst. alarm. ever.
They wake you at an ungodly hour, a diaper brimming with evil that you have to change with your eyes half closed. If only you could hit a baby snooze button and sleep for another 12 hours instead.
2. You know that voice.
You’ve tried being patient but the “Mary Poppins” veneer fades fast when they just. won’t. listen. That’s when you have to break out a more menacing character.
3. We start with the best of intentions.
At the beginning of the school year, we’re full of energy and big ideas. Bento box lunches with little snacks made to resemble whimsical creatures, a perfect balance of protein and nutrients. Only to wind down in June by tossing in whatever you can find and hoping your kid might eat it. Good times.
4. Go the f&@^ to sleep. Please?
It’s always “just one more thing” and despite your attempts to remain calm, it can be difficult after the 23rd reading of “Goodnight, Moon.”
5. This is the only criteria, to be honest.
The days are long but the years are short, and that’s why we need wine. If our kids pick friends with parents who don’t understand that, it’s best for everyone to move on.
6. They are pretty tasty.
If the nurse was a fellow parent, they probably thought nothing of it.
7. How do they always find them?
You keep them up high and never let the kids see you use them but somehow, you always find that stray cap on the floor. And the rest of it is probably stabbed into a brand-new throw pillow bleeding black ink. Because of course it is.
8. Sleeping in isn’t what it used to be.
They try to be quiet and behave but doesn’t it seem like the whole house and everyone in it falls apart if you try to sleep just a little bit longer? Hang on, sweetie. Let’s find some gauze.
9. Sorry. Oh, sorry. Oops, sorry.
It’s like shepherding a tiny drunk person through the world as they stumble and crash into everyone you come in contact with. At least going out in college was good practice.
10. He’ll figure it out someday.
We might be the grown ups, but that doesn’t mean we know everything. And thanks to Common Core math, our kids will figure that out sooner than they might have previously.
11. Secret eating is totally a thing.
If you’ve never done this or dove into a closet to eat some Doritos, you’re probably not a parent. They can’t hear you yelling to clean up their rooms, but from a whole floor away, they hear the crinkle of a wrapper. Nothing is sacred.
12. They think they’re pretty big stuff.
They can’t wipe themselves, but have no problem at all talking to you like you’re the total moron. Seems fair.
13. Details are hard.
What day is it? How many kids do we have? Sometimes, it’s just too much to ask.

Scrum Alliance Certified Agile Leader Courses
The idea for Scrum Alliance’s Certified Agile Leadership (CAL) program (now called Certified Agile Leader) came about in 2016 when business leaders came to us seeking support for the unique challenges they face in sustainably accelerating innovation and leveraging agility on their teams. In developing an agile leadership program, our primary goal was to give leaders like you the tools and strategies you need to spearhead transformations in complex, unpredictable environment in which rapid development helps you thrive. To create the learning objectives for our program, we brought together professionals from an assortment of fields of study to determine what effective leadership really looks like.
Our Certified Agile Coaches and CAL educators are agile professionals with breath and depth of experience in the agile space, both theoretical and practical. They are peer-vetted professionals and their Scrum Alliance certification validates the high standard of quality we set for our courses. Their experience includes, but isn’t limited to, coaching, leadership, organizational design and enterprise agility. They organize at the team and enterprise level to bring authentic experiences to the classroom.
Based on feedback from our educators, in June 2020, we re-structured our CAL I course into three distinct modules: Certified Agile Leadership Essentials, CAL for Teams and CAL for Organizations to offer customizable course combinations to the agile leadership community. Now students may choose which modules best fit their leadership goals and take the courses live online from anywhere they have Internet.
Attributes of Agile Leaders
Commitment & Respect
Overloading teams and team members is a common mistake agile leaders make as they learn to educate themselves and the organization about how agile teams operate most effectively. Commit to the health of your team by respecting their bandwidth and commitments. Agility requires your team to focus its energy on delivering a limited number of minimally viable deliverables at a time. As a leader, you may need to push back on the business and other leaders — your teams succeed by prioritizing projects and outcomes. Focus on removing barriers and setting boundaries.
Influential agile leaders give regular feedback that's positive, neutral, and "negative." They also encourage, request, and enthusiastically receive feedback from their employees and teams. There are many formats through which this can be done, both formal and informal, and it's a great idea to have the formal ones in place to ensure nothing falls through the informal feedback cracks. Remember, as an agile leader, your job includes mentorship and coaching, not just "management." If you implement these systems within your teams and organization — your internal customers — you'll be better at encouraging that feedback from the external audiences as well.
Related: Adapt Your Leadership Style for Rapid Change and Uncertainty
Empowerment indicates the relationship between employees and leadership via autonomy and authority. It is characterized by the even distribution of power. Power is crucial and leaders that give authority to their subordinates respond accurately and efficiently to their environment. They invest their time and effort in their company and possess high levels of morale. For instance, if you are an empowered employee, you will be more flexible than a downtrodden employee.
This is a company's desire to achieve a culture that goes beyond the face of ambiguity. The market is extremely unpredictable. So, you need to prepare to spot changes and respond immediately and efficiently. It is also important to be flexible because different situations require different reactions.
What is the main goal of your organization? Do you have a purpose? The vision of your company is as important thing ever. It is what unifies all the departments of your company. It is the inspiration behind all the operations in your company and steers you in the right direction.

Starting in April 2018, Medicare will begin sending new cards to people who receive Medicare benefits.
What You Need To Know
- All existing Medicare cards should be replaced by April 2019.
- The new cards will no longer display SSN-based Medicare numbers.
- Both old cards and new cards can be used from April 2018 to January 2020.
- Starting January 1, 2020, new Medicare cards will need to be used and old cards will no longer be accepted.
FAQs About The New Card
Q: Why am I getting a new Medicare card?
A: To put it simply, these new cards will help protect Medicare enrollees against fraud and identity theft. The number on your current card is based on your social security number.
While the new number on your Medicare card is also unique for every individual, it’s a totally random set of 11 numbers and capital letters. The characters are not based on anything, nor do they have any hidden meaning. By removing the social security numbers from Medicare cards, it strengthens fraud protections for about 58 million Americans.
Q: Will my new card affect my Medicare benefits?
A: No, not at all. Those who receive new Medicare cards this coming year are people who are already enrolled in Medicare. Your plan, benefits, and coverage will stay exactly the same.
Q: So now that I have a new card, am I still at risk for fraud?
A: With any card that’s personal to you, there’s always a risk for identity theft. It’s important that you treat your new card like a credit card. Do not share your Medicare card number with anyone who shouldn’t have it.
No one from Medicare will ever contact you asking for personal information unless permission had been granted prior to the phone call. So if someone calls you claiming to be from Medicare services and tells you 1) they need your Medicare card number, 2) you won’t receive your Medicare benefits unless you give it to them, or 3) there is a charge for your new Medicare card, you can go ahead and assume it’s a scam and hang up immediately.
Q: When will I get my new Medicare card and what happens when I do?
A: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, more commonly known as CMS, will start mailing out new cards in April 2018, with a deadline of April 2019. The mail order is randomly generated by geographic location, so don’t worry if your friends get their Medicare cards before you… yours is coming! You can start using your new Medicare card as soon as you receive it, and you’ll be instructed to safely and securely dispose of your old one.
Q: It’s April 2019 and I don’t have my new Medicare card! What should I do?
A: Don’t panic. You’ll receive your new Medicare card soon. In case of instances like these, CMS has issued a 21-month transition period. This means that from April 2018 to January 2020, you can use either your old Medicare card or your new Medicare card to help ease the changeover. However, after January 1, 2020, you must use your new card for all your Medicare needs.

Brokers in the financial industry have the fundamental responsibility to treat investors fairly. This obligation includes making only suitable investments for their client. The suitable analysis has certain requirements that must be met before the recommendation is made. First, there must be reasonable basis for the recommendation for the investment based upon the broker’s and the firm’s investigation and due diligence. Common due diligence looks into the investment’s properties including its benefits, risks, tax consequences, the issuer, the likelihood of success or failure of the investment, and other relevant factors. Second, if there is a reasonable basis to recommend the product to investors the broker then must match the investment as being appropriate for the customer’s specific investment needs and objectives. These factors include the client’s age, investment experience, retirement status, long or short term goals, tax status, or any other relevant factor.

New technology designed to get passengers through security faster and with less hassle is being tested in the international terminal at Los Angeles International Airport.
One of the new technologies being tested uses facial recognition to match up passengers’ boarding passes and identification with their faces. It will be tested on a voluntary basis over the next three weeks during morning and afternoon rush periods.
“I think it’ll be OK,” said Tim Clavin of San Diego before going through the system. “As long as you have a good U.S. passport, it’s going to work, right?”
Kenny Richards of Huntington Beach had mixed feelings after trying out the new technology.
“It was good and quick. Unfortunately, it didn’t recognize my face,” he said.
After it didn’t work, Richards said he was asked to go through the regular process to get through security.
TSA and LAX are also testing out advanced imaging technology designed to be faster and less claustrophobic for travelers.
Instead of having to go through body scanners, passengers will stand in front of an imaging machine while TSA agents look for anything suspicious.

The Ultimate Guide: Proper Toenail Trimming Techniques
Trimming your toenails may seem like a simple task, but it's important to do it correctly to avoid painful problems like ingrown toenails and infections. In this guide, we'll walk you through the proper techniques for trimming your toenails to keep your feet healthy and comfortable.
Gather Your Tools: Before you begin, gather the necessary tools: a clean pair of toenail clippers, a nail file, and if desired, a foot soak to soften the nails. Make sure your tools are clean and sanitized to reduce the risk of infection.
Soften Your Nails: Soaking your feet in warm water for a few minutes can help soften the nails, making them easier to trim. If you prefer, you can also trim your toenails immediately after a shower when the nails are softest. This is most important in people who have thicker nails or are dealing with a nail fungus. Daily treatments with products that contain urea such as Tolcylen can help soften the nail and encourage remodeling of the nail to a more normal appearance.
Choose the Right Shape: Generally speaking toes that have normal health toenails should be trimmed straight across to prevent ingrown toenails. Avoid rounding the corners, as this can increase the risk of the nail growing into the skin. In these cases the ingrown toenail can be cause by aggressive trimming or irritation to the skin around the nail. This will cause a cycle of inflammation causing the skin to further press against the nail creating more inflammation and swelling. If your nails are abnormally shaped leading to frequent ingrown toenails then trimming the nail back and leaving a slight overhang is recommended. If you already have and ingrown toenail then consult a podiatrist.
Trim Carefully: Using toenail clippers, trim the nails straight across in one smooth motion. Avoid cutting the nails too short, as this can lead to ingrown toenails and discomfort. When looking at the nail you will notice that the color changes at the tip from pink to white. The white portion is the portion of the nail that is no longer attached to the skin. When trimming you want to leave a small amount of white at the tip of the nail.
Smooth the Edges: After trimming, use a nail file to smooth any rough edges or sharp corners. This will help prevent the nails from catching on socks or rubbing against the skin, reducing the risk of irritation. check for callus build up in the corner of the nail. This could be a future source of nail pain. Gently trim as much of the callus as you can with the toenail clipper. If done properly there should be no pain.
Forget the Cuticles: The cuticle serves as a barrier against moisture and bacteria from getting behind the nail. While cuticles can become overgrown it is usually not necessary to "push" them back. If done incorrectly you can violate the seal leading to an infection. While this is something that is commonly done at nails salons for aesthetic reasons it is generally not recommended to attempt it yourself.
Clean Up: After trimming your toenails, wash your feet with soap and water to remove any debris or nail clippings. Dry your feet thoroughly, paying attention to the area between the toes.
Apply Moisturizer: Finish by applying a moisturizing cream or lotion to your feet to keep the skin hydrated and prevent dryness and cracking.
Check for Signs of Infection: Inspect your toes for any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge. If you notice any abnormalities, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
Conclusion: Proper toenail trimming is essential for maintaining healthy and comfortable feet. By following these tips, you can trim your toenails safely and effectively, reducing the risk of painful problems and keeping your feet happy and healthy.

Make Haste & Call SERVPRO If You Need Water Removal
SERVPRO Of LaPorte County Meets Water Removal Needs Fast!
We will be there every step of the way for your water loss. Clean up of minor spills and quickly discovered leaks are certainly within the DIY capabilities of a homeowner who has a bucket and a mop. On the other hand, if a major plumbing fail or an appliance malfunction pours gallons of water into your home, you need to find trustworthy professional help. Not only are the quantities of water in these cases substantial, but the migration of the fluid into building cavities and materials is also a concern.
We Extract Water Rapidly and Efficiently
All it takes is a broken dishwasher hose, a ruptured water heater, or a clogged toilet to require significant water removal. Our ability to respond fast with a well-trained and equipped crew is why we can extract large amounts of water safely and to dry out spaces thoroughly. Investment in training through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) aligns with investment in up to date, commercial-grade equipment and products to provide our customers with results that meet or exceed industry best practices.
We Follow Research-Based Protocols
A solid understanding of the science of drying, psychrometry, is why SERVPRO of LaPorte County's efforts in removing water and returning your home to preloss condition are successful. Research demonstrates that the more liquid water initially removed, the faster and more efficient drying operations can be. Our submersible pumps clear out water deeper than two inches. Wanded extractors then take on the task of removing as much of the remaining fluids as possible.
We Are Skilled at Moisture Detection and Monitoring
Mastery of IICRC coursework in the tracing of water migration combined with decades of experience in detection implementation are why SERVPRO can go that extra mile for our customers. Surfaces can look dry, yet hide caches of water in cavities or absorbed into the structural components. We use thermal imaging to find temperature disparities that signal trapped water and moisture meters to set drying goal baselines. Controlled demolition techniques like flood cuts or weep holes release hidden water. Air movers and heaters accelerate evaporation, moving water into the air for our commercial dehumidifiers’ collection and disposal.
Dependable and experienced workers and top-notch equipment are why SERVPRO of LaPorte County meets your water removal needs fast. Contact us today!
