Here in Lesotho, my mom is visiting and she’s spending the morning flying with me, something we’ve only had a handful of opportunities to do together. When a call comes mid-flight that a young boy has been hit by a car and needs immediate medical evacuation to another hospital, I immediately adjust my routing and […]
“Daddy, tomorrow I’m going to the hangar with you. We are going to go fly your airplane, eat our lunch in the mountains, and then fly home,” my four-year-old son Josiah declares with an air of confidence that’s immediately got me on my heels.
“Well, uhh, hmm, yeah, right—about that…” I stammer, in hopes something intelligent […]
It’s a small personal victory, hoisting the windsock pole over Matekane’s western end with a new windsock proudly unfolding into the brisk winter wind. The windsock pole weighs a ton! Something like my own personal Mount Suribachi for this former Marine turned missionary pilot. Replacing windsocks regularly keeps us safe though, despite the mission to […]
A bead of sweat drips from my forehead onto the screen of my mountain bike’s GPS, obscuring my view of the altitude read out. It’s just as well. Pedaling uphill for over an hour and twenty minutes, I’m tired of knowing how many more feet to the top. I know I’m close—I can almost see […]
The game is very simple: fly over Merrill’s house undetected. Practically, that means before she can get to the radio saying she’s spotted me. If I’m spotted before I can pass her house, she wins; get past her house before the familiar “Nice try,” then I win.
It’s quite difficult to win, however—Merrill lives deep in […]

As the situation in Aleppo escalates, Human Appeal is ramping up its response to deal with the growing tide of hostilities.
Since April 22, 250 people have been killed in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, in nine days of deadly bombardments. 40 of the dead have been children.
From the 15 - 30 April, Human Appeal has reached 42,193 people, distributed 9,000 ready to eat food packs and is distributing 9,000 bread packs every day. In the coming week, Human Appeal will distribute another 4,000 ready to eat food packs.
“This is an emergency and requires an emergency response,” said Othman Moqbel, Chief Executive, Human Appeal. “The world cannot sit idle as there is a massacre in Aleppo on a daily basis. As one of the most trusted charities in Syria, we will continue our vital work to continue helping those most in need over the coming days, weeks and months,” Mr Moqbel adds.
The Manchester-based charity is at the forefront of aid in Aleppo and over the past 5 years since the Syria conflict erupted has established itself as one of the leading charities in and around Syria.
There are currently fears that NGOs will start leaving Aleppo as the violence escalates and aid workers are targeted.
The charity runs Imaan Hospital in Aleppo, a key centre for women and children who’ve been affected by the conflict. The hospital has provided care for over 8500 children and 7600 women.
Human Appeal today is reaffirming its commitment to the people of Aleppo as it urgently appeals for donations to continue it’s aid work. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It appears that Nebraska football‘s new defensive coordinator may already be showing Shawn Eichorst and Mike Riley some early returns on their investment in him.
Amid reports of Mick Stoltenberg picking up the nose tackle role in Bob Diaco’s new 3-4 scheme, there’s talk of a slew of linebackers stepping up.
We’ve also seen what could be called at least a notable — if not significant — move of last year’s No. 2 cornerback (Joshua Kalu) to free safety making room for his former backup (Lamar Jackson) across from No. 1 cornerback Chris Jones.
If that isn’t enough, an early enrollee is making a case that’s not unlike junior Dedrick Young’s prior to his true freshman season.
Avery Roberts, arguably one of Nebraska’s best recruits from this past cycle along with Tyjon Lindsey, is reportedly already making the decision to keep him off the field this fall a very tough one.
Roberts has been running with the twos most often this spring along with sophomore Mohamed Barry.
Barry’s name has come up in conversation multiple times over the past year as his film was extremely impressive coming out of high school. Fans wanted to know when this potential playmaker would get a chance to show what he can do.
Ask no longer.
Both Roberts and Barry have been wreaking havoc recently and despite being thrown into the midst of a scheme change, let alone the shift to the speed of college football, these two are thriving.
I would be remiss to leave out sophomore JoJo Domann.
Kalu has the edge in experience, but Domann is letting the junkyard dog mentality that allowed him to thrive on special teams last season be his guide when it comes to his role as a hard-hitting safety.
He’s had a number of good practices this spring. These have included following quarterbacks to the point of interceptions and tracking running plays down for eventual stops resulting in minimal yardage and even tackles for loss.
All eyes may be on the quarterback battle between Tanner Lee and Patrick O’Brien, but consider glancing over to the safety spots during the April 15 Red-White Spring Game.
It’s refreshing to see Diaco’s handiwork already paying off. It appears that certain individuals are already thriving thanks to his coaching and the cream is beginning to rise to the top.
Regardless of who’s playing where on defense, there’s a sense of intensity that hasn’t been seen in years. Consider that another benefit of having a coach whose words are like audible Red Bull leading the defensive charge.
Feel free to drink the Kool-Aid for now when it comes to the developing Blackshirts.
While there will no doubt be some growing pains when live action comes, not only does Nebraska have some quality young talent, it will have solid depth ready to step up and become battle-tested.
Hopefully that should sell a few more tickets to the Spring Game.
Just in case you’re all excited and want to grab some (or more), you can do so here. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Some rules to help you create “Your” own Blönduós Photo Album:
- Find pictures taken by previous visitors of Blönduós on the Internet. That way, you will get a great preview of what the place looks like. I found 779 photos.
- Focus on one topic of your choice. You will find that the river, the seashore, horses, sheep (so cute!), hotel rooms, and dishes at B&S restaurant are favorites. I chose: Textiles. I found 25 pictures that showed something related to textiles.
- Get to Blönduós and then try to go to and stand in the exact same spot as the visitor who took the pictures you selected.
- Take two pictures. For the first one try to take the exact same picture. Do not cheat. Same frame, same angle. The strong winds on the hills will certainly help you with this task, so will the mannequins at the museum (!).
- Second: take a picture of your selected picture in your next picture. Well, examples below.
Here is the Kvennaskólinn, our studio and our house. Hint: If you want to get this one, you will have to climb a hill.
Below is the mysterious store. When I showed the picture to the owner to confirm that I was in the right place, she sighed and said: “Yes, and then Covid happened”. The store will be closing soon and will move to a more central location next to the grocery store. She will be selling much needed yarns and other precious materials for us, fiber artists.

All I can say about this one is that I have noticed that her work has not progressed much…
With the help of Elizabeth H, Pennsylvania
And I saved my favorite for last. One of the mannequins decided to sit down.
Even though I am still not sure why visitors would take the time to post close-ups of historical textiles on a tourist website, I am really glad they did. And I was really happy to be able to also enjoy all the landscape shots as well!
There are 5 photos for which I could not find the precise spot where they were taken. Three were from a past exhibition at the museum, and to most likely the other two were taken in the store.
Last night, I browsed through all of the 779 photos of Blönduós I found before coming here. It is amazing how I now have a much better sense of this wonderful place. I can even know from which angle each of the pictures of the river were taken! And I had a great time at the museum for sure.
Thank you past visitors! You turned my stay here into a quest and great textile adventure! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This document addresses aspects of management of solid biomedical radioactive waste from its generation in nuclear medicine facilities to final clearance and disposal, as well as the manner to establish an effective program for biomedical radioactive waste management.
Liquid and gaseous wastes are excluded from the scope of the document, but solid waste includes spent and surplus solutions of radionuclides contained in vials, tubes or syringes. Therefore, this document should be useful for any nuclear medicine facilities dealing with in vivo medical applications of radionuclides and consequently with the waste associated with such applications.
This document provides a list of the main radionuclides used in nuclear medicine facilities and their main physical characteristics, as well as the guidance to write a radioactive waste management program for their sorting, collection, packaging and labelling, radioactivity surveys and decay storage, clearance levels, and transportation, if necessary, until their ultimate disposal or discharge. This document may also be useful as guidance for regulatory bodies. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
China’s determination to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to the utilization of blockchain technology was evidenced again this week, after the release of the country’s latest five-year development plan.
The word “blockchain” was reportedly mentioned for the first time in the 14th of China’s regular five-year plans, which lay out the country’s economic priorities for the period from 2021 to 2025, according to local news outlet Pingwest.
China’s exploration into new technology has been unceasing in recent years. From its ongoing scheme to roll out a central bank digital currency to its utilization of digital biometric hardware wallets for the digital yuan, China’s is already regarded to be at the forefront of national currency issuance.
All of this is despite a general distrust of open-source, decentralized cryptocurrencies within China, as evidenced by the country’s bans on cryptocurrency exchanges and initial coin offerings.
The recent commencement of digital yuan payments in China’s Shanghai department stores, coupled with the rollout of ATMs in the Shenzen region, also align with China’s goal to have 65% of its population in urban areas by the end of the next five year period.
The country’s willingness to work with business enterprises in pursuit of this aim was evidenced recently when the China Merchants Port — the largest port operator in the country — partnered up with Alibaba to promote the integration of blockchain tech in the port industry.
The five-year plan was criticized in other areas, specifically for its lack of broader economic ambition, and a tendency to focus heavily on debt reduction. Contrasting with U.S. President Joe Biden’s recent decision to issue another $1.9 trillion as part of a COVID-19 stimulus package, China recently axed plans to launch a $140 billion package for the same purpose.
Technology spending is expected to contribute higher returns to China’s GDP in the coming years, with research and development spending slated to be increased 7% each year until the end of 2025.

Dangote Cement Plc, Ibese plant, has reaffirmed its commitment to creating an enabling environment for sustainable peace and mutual growth of its host communities and relevant stakeholders.
The Plant Director, Mr. Hazard Nawabuddin said the company would continue to strengthen its relationship with the communities through social investments focused on socio-economic development, job creation, job training, education, health, etc.
He said this through the Plant’s Head of Admin and Human Asset Development, Mr. Abu Sufyan during the opening of a workshop themed “Effective Community and Corporate Relationship Management Skills” organized by Ibese plant for Host Communities, Representatives and Stakeholders in Yewa North and Ewekoro Local Government Areas of Ogun state.
According to him, the workshop is an integral part of the institution-building and local content development drive of the cement company’s Social Performance, as a socially responsible corporate entity, adding that it will also increase stakeholders’ awareness on roles, responsibilities and expectations towards achieving societal and corporate co-existence.
“The skills that will be imparted at the workshop will be helpful not only in the discharge of duties as community representatives, but also in the personal and business lives of the participants. Hence, I implore you all to see this as an opportunity for self-development and a deliberate investment in your growth and well-being by the Company”, he stated.
Mr. Nawabuddin expressed the hope that at the end of the workshop, the participants would have been imbued with an enhanced vigour for renewed partnership as everyone would have been better equipped with the expectations, roles and responsibilities of all parties.
He said, “Ultimately, there should be reduced grievances, and elimination of social incidences, protests/crisis, which will create enabling environment for sustainable peace and mutual growth.”
Community Representative Participants who spoke on their expectation from the workshop said the programme would help in giving them fresh perspectives on their roles as representatives and strengthen their capacity to negotiate with the Company and boost the cordial relationship with the company management. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dzi Door Curtain
For many centuries dZi beads have held an important place in Tibetan culture. Viewed as precious, they are sought after for both their monetary value and the magical powers ascribed to them. The mysteries surrounding their origin, their fortune-granting and protective powers, as well as the sheer beauty of these beads, give them a status that is both mythical and real.
Norbulingka has integrated this unique Tibetan motif with an essential home furnishing element to create a lively, contemporary element befitting today’s lifestyle. Screen printed on durable canvas.
Doors mark the entrance into a home, the family’s private realm. In Tibet, doors were heavy and definitive. A closed door carried the connotation of absence or danger, and leaving them open meant a lack of privacy. The door curtain became an in-between solution to safety versus privacy. It could vary in weight and design, but it was usually made of thick linen cotton and comprised four panels that were either plain or ornamented with an auspicious appliqued motif. The base would be white with a contrasting blue or black primary color and a pleated ‘skirt’ or shambu ran up the top.
A curtain is a must in a Tibetan home, one that marks a way of life and is an integral part of a Tibetan look. It leaves an opening for visitors while shielding the room from passersby. In winter, the door curtain keeps the heat in the room; in summer, it can be lifted to let a breeze flow through. The door curtain is a versatile and decorative element in Tibetan life, and we have given it a new twist and a contemporary look. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A learning ecosystem that produces results has characteristics made possible only by the investment of aforethought and efficacious follow-up elements. Aside from planning, it also calls for intentional, mindful execution, and the careful nurturing of a disposition to keep gaining new skills, filling knowledge gaps, and generally becoming more effective in a given situation. Since these goals make a strategic sense in the world of work and for a thriving future of work, learning and development (L&D) departments of future-ready workplaces give a lot of importance to qualifying and creating a suitable learning ecosystem.
For the creation and sustenance of a functional learning ecosystem, the essential components are:
- Strategic planning to create viability
- Technological investment and timely upgrades to support the software and hardware requirements of learning
- A cultural readiness that promotes learning and development

When these items are in place, line managers have fewer issues with backed-up workflows and scheduling conflicts. The momentous turn of the period 2020-21 has made it clear at the executive and C-suite level that a system open to learning, upskilling, and purposeful training needs to be an ongoing effort. It cannot be done in fits and start. No amount of talent acquisition effort can replace a forward-looking L&D plan. For these reasons, executive buy-in and budgetary backing for the learning ecosystem stay high.
The learning ecosystem creates a sustainable environment for development which makes possible:
- Identification of skills gaps through diagnostic tests
- Zeroing-in on trending courses and skills for each job role or division
- The transition from traditional classroom learning to self-paced courses on virtual platforms
- Listing of available teachers and learners in each domain to enhance peer-learning opportunities
- Efficient learning attributes in the form of gamified modules, MOOCs, or microlearning modules
- Complementary courses for open-source syllabi that helps professionals develop skills along unique paths
The presence of an intuitive L&D department that puts careful consideration into the upskilling, lateral movement possibilities and succession planning avenues of professionals is a perquisite that anyone with a growth mindset would appreciate. Such contributions from the learning system may be just a non-cash add-on in the compensation structure from the point of view of the company. But to the professional who uses them in a timely and intelligent way, they can contribute to career growth, promotion prospects, and personality enhancement.
There are several examples of corporates in India that recognize the merits of a well-thought-out learning ecosystem. Axis Bank formed a partnership with Coursera, an online open-source course provider that is accessible in multiple countries despite its American origin. The alliance allows employees to brush up on their soft skills, personal and professional behavioral attributes, as well as domain-related strengthening via programs on Data Analytics, Project Management, and so on. Other corporations which have attained a near-legendary reputation for keeping their L&D efforts up to date are Infosys, Capgemini, Tata Consultancy Services, and Wipro. Tredence, a home-grown Bangalore-based analytics start-up has come up with an appropriately-named ‘U Learn V Pay’ to encourage their employees to hone core skills in data analytics. They even allow reimbursement on courses picked by the employee without forming any typical partnerships.
The future of work is set to explore more of such favorable solutions via sustainable learning ecosystems to keep skill-levels on par with market requirements. In an uncertain job climate and fast-changing business environment, this is the need of the hour.

The UK is a nation of people with great ideas, no wonder it ranked 4th in the Global Innovation Index 2023, behind Switzerland, Sweden and the United States.
If you are one of those people who can spot a problem with a product and think of a better solution, chances are you have an idea for a product of your own. But is it an idea worth acting on? This article features three key questions you can ask to help you decide whether to investigate your product idea further or put that effort into something else.
Should I take my idea further?
Three key questions to help you decide
1. Would customers want it?
If nobody would want the product, it won't matter how cheaply you can make it. Customers might want the product for 3 reasons, functional, emotional and social. Functional - maybe it saves them time on a task. Emotional - it could make a task more enjoyable. Social - perhaps it might help them complete the task more sustainably. Whether your product idea is desirable is the most important question you should consider.
2. Could selling the product make enough money?
If you think the product can be sold for more than it costs, including marketing etc then it could be profitable. But you still need to be able to sell enough units to make selling the product worthwhile. Without a viable business model, it won't be worth the effort to sell your product to people who want it.
3. Can it be made?
If your idea is a time machine, then unless you're from the future, you will struggle to make it work. Time machines aside, it needs to be feasible to develop the idea into a product you can commercialise. It's easier than ever to develop a product and manufacture it but consider whether you're idea goes beyond the technology that exists today.
If your answer to any of these questions was no, then you might need to work on the idea a bit. But if you think you could end up with a yes for all three answers then it sounds like you have an innovation worth investigating. Book a free call with one of our Innovation Advisors to understand your options for investigating your idea further. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A teacher who is employed at Dumont High School in Bergen County, New Jersey was sharing their screen while conducting a science class (via Zoom on Wednesday November 25th. At that time, students noticed that a group chat window was open.
The New Jersey Herald reports that one of the children in the class took a screenshot of the conversation within the group chat. Homophobic remarks like “why is that kid with the gay gym teacher” & “is that her adopted kid? Who is gonna be all fucked up watching two chicks kissing and calling them both mom” were contained in the chat that was seen (the actual screenshots are listed below).
dumont high school science teachers…. really???? we knew they were racist but homophobic too? i always liked the english teachers more. pic.twitter.com/CXxiIzlY6z

Reaction was swift from community leadership. Immediately, Dumont Mayor Andrew LaBruno posted the following on Facebook: “I have been made aware of some disturbing and extremely appalling comments between Dumont High School Teachers captured in a group chat shared during a zoom class. These homophobic comments do not reflect our community’s values, nor do they represent our beliefs in the Borough of Dumont. We are an inclusive and welcoming community. We were the first Mayor & Council to raise the Pride flag in support of our neighbors in the #LGBTQ community. While there is still much work to be done fighting against inequalities and standing up for human rights, our educators mold our children’s minds, and these comments have no place in our education system. I’ve contacted the Dumont Public Schools Superintendent, who has assured me that this incident is being taken seriously and will be thoroughly investigated. Dumont is one big family, and together we must ensure that all of our neighbors know that hate has no home here.”
A Change.org petition has been created by DHS graduated Matthew DeMarco and garnered close to 25,000 signatures, saying in part “unacceptable and should not be tolerated by the school district or its employees, and should result in their forced resignations immediately.” “Homophobia or bigotry of any kind is unacceptable and should not be tolerated within the education system,” DeMarco went on to say “Taking the appropriate actions will ensure a safer and more inclusive environment for students and teachers.”

The Ministry of Trade and Industry has held another national engagement forum with textiles wholesalers and retailers on the implementation of the Textiles Tax Stamps Policy.
This engagement followed an earlier one with Importers which was held on 27th May, 2022 at the African Regent Hotel, Airport-Accra and forms part of the preparations towards the launch and implementation of the policy before the close of the year.
According to the sector Minister, Alan Kyerematen, the aim of the engagement was to “sensitize and educate the public, particularly dealers in the industry on the introduction/implementation of the textiles tax stamps as part of the Government’s commitment to addressing the challenges of the textiles industry as well as developing the sector to harness the significant gains the sector stands to offer”.
The minister revealed that the local demand for African prints is about 120 million yards per annum, of which the local supply is just about 35% (42million yards), with the remaining 65% imported.
Hon Kyerematen recalled that the local textiles industry used to be very vibrant in the last three decades, but that the influx of pirated designs and gross infringements on trademarks of local textile manufacturers have been identified as two of the key areas which have adversely affected the textiles industry in Ghana.
Towards addressing the situation, the Minister said in 2018 the Ministry of Trade and Industry under the Industrial Transformation Agenda of Government announced Six Policy Measures aimed at finding lasting solutions to the challenges and also strengthening the textiles sector which can create millions of well-paid jobs for Ghanaians, namely: Introduction and implementation of textiles tax stamps; Import management systems; Introduction of Designated Entry Corridors (Tema Port and Aflao Border for textile imports).
Further he stated that provision of Incentive Packages for local manufacturers to make them competitive includes: Attract Foreign textile manufacturers to set up or relocate their plants in Ghana; and Reconstitute the Task Force to embark on effective market monitoring and surveillance.
The Minister was of the firm belief that these policy measures will lead to the development of the local textile firms to reduce the import of pirated textiles by promoting local manufacturing.
He assured the stakeholders that with the introduction of the measures, importation is still allowed since the country does not currently have the local manufacturing capacity to meet the total national demand of over 120 million yards per annum. He was hopeful that the policies were going to help streamline the imports of textiles and further ensure that all the players involved in the textiles industry benefit.
The roll-out of the textiles tax stamps has been scheduled for November 1, 2022 and the implementation modalities shall include having textiles stamps affixed on all textile prints traded in Ghana.
Participants used the opportunity to ask questions related to the discussions, from the team from the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Ministry of Finance, Ghana Revenue Authority-Domestic Tax Revenue Division, Intellectual Property Office and Ghana Standards Authority who responded accordingly. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) is expected to soon modify guidelines that will facilitate public listing of insurance companies. The changes, currently underway are likely to set stage for a flurry of insurance IPOs.
“I am not very sure. I think there are one or two companies wanting to go for IPO. I do not know whether they have applied for clearance I do not know. We started working on some changes in the existing norms for the IPO. We will come out with those norms in a month or so,”
– T S Vijayan, Chairman, IRDAI
In an indication of the insurance sector coming of age in India, HDFC Standard Life and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance have approached the insurance regulator for IPO approvals while several other insurance parents are looking to sell some stake and get their insurance arms listed on stock exchanges. These regulatory issues will be sorted once IRDAI comes up with its updated guidelines. Apart from IRDAI, hopeful of insurance IPOs will need to secure approvals from SEBI.
India’s insurance industry attracted INR150 billion (INR15,000 crore) in investments last year after the government allowed foreign direct investment (FDI) in insurance companies to 49%. Prior to the increase, foreign partnership in insurance companies was limited to 26%. These big investments will further push listing of insurance companies in India. Last month, Standard Life increased its shareholding in HDFC Standard Life to 35% by acquiring 9% stake from HDFC. The INR1,705 crore transaction valued HDFC Standard Life at INR18,500 crore. HDFC Standard Life IPO is expected to be around INR2,000 crore in size, putting a valuation of around INR20,000 crore on the insurance venture.
A positive listing of HDFC Standard Life IPO can very well improve sentiments for other insurance IPOs. While HDFC has been planning to list its insurance venture for over a year now, SBI Life Insurance, Canara HSBC Oriental Bank of Commerce Life Insurance, Aviva India Life Insurance, and Max Bupa Health Insurance have also been keen to list themselves. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Conference Theme: Visible Possibilities: The Economics of Sustainable Fisheries, Aquaculture and Seafood Trade
The general theme of the conference addresses the hidden possibilities of fisheries in all areas of the world, with particular emphasis on Africa and developing regions. Participants reflected on the goods and services fisheries and aquaculture provide to human society and on the objective that fishery management and aquaculture development should provide contributions to human well being whether through macro-economic growth (resource rents, trade revenues), small-business profits, wage labor, or nutritious food. These need to be weighed against the costs inherent in utilizing fish resources. Participants examined and suggested solutions for resolving those aspects of fisheries management and aquaculture development that can hamper our ability to fulfill this objective, helping to avoid worsening poverty traps, ecosystem damage, and inequities amongst fishery and aquaculture stakeholders. We stress that development, in this context, is something that takes place in every society, at all levels, and not just a process in the developing world. It is a continual process of change of seeking a cleaner, safer and more prosperous world and a fairer society that is relevant everywhere.

A sportsbook is a gambling establishment that accepts wagers on various sporting events. The establishment can be either online or offline. In order to run a sportsbook profitably, the bookie must determine his or her odds and calculate the amount of vig charged to bettors. In addition, the establishment must ensure that it has legal compliance and is properly licensed in its jurisdiction. If not, it may face fines or worse. This is why it is important to conduct research into sportsbook laws and consult with a lawyer who has experience in the iGaming industry before opening one.
The sportsbook is an essential business tool that helps bettors make informed decisions about which teams and players they should wager on. It can also help bettors find the best betting lines and bonuses for a particular game. There are different types of betting lines available, and they are set according to the expected performance of each team. For example, some teams perform better when playing at home, while others struggle away from home. These factors are factored into the odds, and they help bettors evaluate each team’s likelihood of winning a game or competition.
To attract bettors, sportsbooks offer a variety of promotional offers. For instance, a new customer might receive a free bet or deposit bonus, which they can use to place real money wagers. These promotional offers are designed to boost the popularity of a sportsbook, thereby attracting new customers and generating revenue. However, it is important to remember that some of these offers have terms and conditions, which can be difficult to understand.
Choosing the right sportsbook software is an essential step in launching a successful operation. There are three main options to consider: custom, white label, and turnkey. The former option allows a sportsbook to develop a unique product with features that meet its specific needs. It can be more expensive than the other two, but it also provides maximum flexibility.
The software should provide accurate and timely data that is used to adjust the betting odds. The provider should also give clear documentation on how to integrate the data into the sportsbook. In addition, it should include a risk management tool that balances the potential profit and liability for each outcome.
A sportsbook should support a wide range of payment methods and have reliable customer service. It should also be mobile-friendly to accommodate the growing number of consumers who prefer to gamble on the go. In addition, it should have a reputation for paying out winners quickly and fairly. Finally, it should be secure to protect its customers’ data. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Light rail network a possibility for Western Sydney
A light rail network serving the Parramatta region could soon become a reality, with Transport for NSW (TfNSW) currently investigating feasibility.
NSW Premier Mike Baird said TfNSW has started identifying the highest priority corridors for the introduction of light rail. This will be followed by a detailed feasibility study and high-level business case for those corridors.
“This is potentially another great project for Sydney’s West, which will provide the missing transport link from north to south,” said Mr Baird.
The corridors to be investigated include:
- Parramatta to Macquarie Park via Carlingford
- Parramatta to Castle Hill via Old Northern Road
- Parramatta to Liverpool via the T-way
- Parramatta to Bankstown
- Parramatta to Sydney Olympic Park
- Parramatta to Rouse Hill
- Parramatta to Ryde via Victoria Road
- Parramatta to Sydney CBD via Parramatta Road
- Parramatta to Macquarie Park via Eastwood (proposed by Parramatta Council)
- Parramatta to Castle Hill via Windsor Road (proposed by Parramatta Council)
TfNSW’s studies will follow-on from work already undertaken by Parramatta Council in 2013. Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian said once the first stage of work is complete, viable options will be taken forward for design and feasibility analysis.
“We will work to ensure this Western Sydney light rail project fits into our urban renewal strategy in the region, including how it will integrate with major projects like WestConnex. Of course, like with any major project, the community will have its say along the way”.

Advertising industry watchdog ASCI upheld complaints against 87 advertisements in August including those of HUL, Airtel, and LG, terming them ‘misleading’.
According to the Customer Complaints Council (CCC) of ASCI (Advertising Standard Council of India), out of 87 advertisements against which complaints were upheld, 37 belonged to the personal and healthcare category, followed by
41 advertisements in the education category and 9 advertisements from other categories.
A complaint against Bharti Airtel was upheld for its Airtel Broadband advertisement claiming “offer of Airtel Broadband – 60GB @ Rs. 1,099 with unlimited calls, was not substantiated with evidence of the customers who have availed this scheme.”
Another complaint that was upheld was against LG Electronics, as its advertisement “claims India’s only true water purifier which was not adequately substantiated.”
The CCC pulled up Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) for advertisement of its water purifier product Pureit Ultima. “The TVC of Pureit Ultima claims, ‘Pureit Ultima RO+UV. Sirf is mein hai Purity Indicator jo saaf saaf dikhata hai ki paani kitna pure hai’, which was false and misleading.
Furthermore, the print advertisement and website claims, ‘Pureit Ultima with Purity Indicator. Purity you can see!’ was misleading by implication,” ASCI said.
Regarding an advertisement of VLCC, ASCI said the claims were considered to be misleading. “The claims in the advertisement, ‘Listen to your DNA for weight loss. Presenting for the first time VLCC DNA Slim a scientific weight loss solution based on your DNA’, ‘Running 4km daily helped your colleague lose weight. But may only make you lose your cool’ and ‘Lose four kilograms or get your money back’, were considered to be misleading by exaggeration,” it said.
The CCC found that claims in the advertisements by 41 advertisers were not substantiated and thus violated ASCI Guidelines for Advertising of Educational Institutions.
Most complaints against advertisements of all educational institutes were upheld because of unsubstantiated claims that they “provide 100 percent placement and/or they claim to be the No.1 in their respective fields”. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Sarbanes-Oxley Act Provisions Regarding Whistleblowers. Key Protections for Whistleblowers and How to Navigate Retaliation Claims.
Trillions of dollars have been lost by investors, and frequently by taxpayers, due to securities fraud and other fraudulent acts affecting publicly traded corporations throughout history. Misconduct of this nature has also been a major cause of economic disasters, such as the financial meltdown of 2008. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("SOX"), a comprehensive federal statute aimed at stopping, exposing, and punishing securities fraud and related illicit activity, was passed that disaster.
The SEC, like many other government agencies, depends on Sarbanes Oxley whistleblower who suspected criminal conduct under the Sarbanes Oxley Act so that it can and take enforcement action.
Whistleblowers almost always work for businesses breaking securities rules. Strong anti-retaliation laws present in SOX safeguard whistleblowers and offer recompense and other forms of remedies if their employers are shown to have participated in illegal retaliation.
Before disclosing their employer's SOX infractions, anyone thinking about doing so should speak with a knowledgeable whistleblower lawyer.
The Legal Rights of Whistleblowers and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
A federal law known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (or "Sarbanes-Oxley") set new and improved requirements for management, public accounting firms, and boards of public companies. Public corporations are required by Sarbanes-Oxley to establish a company ethics code and establish an internal process for receiving, reviewing, and soliciting Sarbanes Oxley whistleblower employee allegations of fraud or ethical transgressions. The law provides for administrative, civil, and criminal enforcement of both corporate and individual culpability.
Which types of businesses are subject to Sarbanes-Oxley regulations?
All domestic public corporations are subject to the law. Non-public companies that have debt securities listed on a public market are also included. Even though they aren't publicly traded themselves, businesses that conduct business with publicly traded corporations are subject to some Sarbanes-Oxley provisions. Under some conditions, subsidiaries of covered public companies may also be held accountable for taking retaliatory action against a whistleblower.
Sarbanes-Oxley, among other things, protects a Sarbanes Oxley whistleblower who work for covered businesses under certain circumstances when they reveal they reasonably believe to be a violation of federal securities law, SEC regulations, or any other federal law about shareholder fraud.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was enacted in reaction to multiple scandals involving both public and private companies. Sections of the act add criminal sanctions for specific corporate malfeasance and address the duties of company boards.
Protection of Whistleblowers Against Retaliation
Employees of public corporations who face retaliation due to disclosures regarding mail, bank, wire, or securities fraud may file a civil lawsuit under Section 806 of Sarbanes-Oxley, which is codified at 18 U.S.C. § 1514A. Within of your employer's retaliation, you must file a written complaint with any office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a division of the Department of Labor, to pursue a whistleblower claim.
A Sarbanes-Oxley assertion must be supported by evidence showing that:
You're a worker participating in authorized activities
You were subjected to adverse employment action by a covered employer and
The adverse employment action was at least partially caused by the protected behavior
Within of the claimed violation or the date the employee learned of the alleged a Sarbanes-Oxley complaint must be submitted. If you are a manager, supervisor, officer, or of an independent contractor working for a covered business, you are considered an employee for whistleblower protection, whether you are an employee now or in the past. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
How to Lift a Motorcycle with a Jack
by Amrita ChuasiripornSo you've decided that you'd like to do maintenance on your motorcycle yourself. That's great, but if your bike doesn't have a center stand, you have no choice but to hoist it on a jack (also sometimes called a lift) in order to work on it. If you're working on the front wheel, you'll want to jack your bike up regardless of whether or not you've got a center stand. With a little guidance and the proper tools, you'll be wrenching away on your bike in no time.
If you're not already familiar with the underside of your bike, get familiar with it. Use your bike's shop manual to help you identify the best and most supportive places from which to lift your bike using a jack. If you have a cruiser, you'll have the advantage of frame rails. These will make hoisting it up with a jack and mounting it on jack stands for work much easier. If you have a sport bike, look for your frame sliders.
If your bike has a center stand, use it. This will help to position your bike so that jacking it up will go as smoothly as possible. Move to Step 4 if this is the case.
If you only have a side stand, use a spare block of wood or something similar underneath the side stand before putting it down. You want your bike to be standing and supported as straight and upright as possible when mounting the jack underneath. If you've got a friend helping you, have them stand in front of your bike, straddling your front wheel with their legs. From the rear, help them to guide the bike to an upright position, making sure your friend grips the front brake lever tightly. Once the bike is straight up in the air and it and your friend are balanced securely, proceed to Step 4.
Make sure your motorcycle's jack stands are nearby and ready to use.
Carefully place your jack in the place you've determined is best to lift your particular bike. Lift slowly and evenly, and don't be afraid to lower it and start again if you feel unsure at any point. It's better to take your time and do it right than to dump your bike onto your garage floor or hurt yourself.
Once you've got the bike properly and securely jacked up, follow the directions on your motorcycle's jack stands for mounting them underneath the bike.
- Don't start removing your jack until you're absolutely sure that the jack stands are securely in place. It's perfectly normal to feel apprehensive the first time you try jacking up your bike. After all, no one ever purposely wants to dump it right off the jack. Don't rush yourself, and don't be afraid to start over if it feels unbalanced at any point.
Things You'll Need
- Your bike's shop manual
- Motorcycle jack stands appropriate to your bike (see Resources)

This afternoon after work, Josh and I ran to the DMV and got our new licenses! Afterwards, we came home hungry! Josh asked if I could make him dinner early. I dove right in and made Rachel Ray's Cheesy Orzo. I mixed in peas and chicken for him.
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cans (14 ounces) chicken or vegetable broth or stock
2 cups orzo pasta (enriched rice may be substituted)
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano or Romano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat a 8 inch pot with a tight fitting cover over moderate heat. Add oil, onion and garlic and saute for 2 or 3 minutes. Add broth to the pan and bring to a boil. Stir in orzo and return broth to a boil. Cover pot and reduce heat to simmer. Cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until liquid is absorbed and pasta tender. Remove lid and stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. You favorite fresh herbs may also be stirred into the orzo or rice to strengthen the flavor even more. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Jaymal is a landscape and fine art photographer based between the UK and Switzerland. His photographic journey began as one of personal introspection but became a shared journey with so many around him becoming inspired by his work and the message he was seeking to deliver, and encouraging him to continue on the path. His work seeks to inspire conscious thought and self-reflection with his photographs serving as a visual meditation on the world around us.
Through the use of long exposure, Jaymal's photographs draw time to a stand still and create a calmness and tranquility in our otherwise busy minds. Whilst he was not planning to release work for public consumption, various requests from friends for prints led Jaymal to work hard on his craft and eventually resulted in two exhibitions in London from which the proceeds were donated to charity. He has since been collected in over 15 countries with his work helping to raise $75,000 for charitable causes to date. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The intensifying threat posed by the Iranian regime to the security and stability of the Middle East and Western Asia has transformed former adversaries into new allies. The signing of the historic Abraham Peace and Normalization Accords in 2020 has created unprecedented cooperation between Israel and its Arab neighbors in the fields of national security and applied diplomacy as well as trade, high-tech, intelligence, infrastructure, and sustainability. The Jerusalem Center has partnered with Bahrain’s Derasat policy institute, the United Arab Emirates’ Emirates Policy Center, and Morocco’s Policy Center for the New South. These partnerships promise to completely reframe Israel’s profile as a fully integrated and normalized member of the Arab-majority Middle East. The Jerusalem Center, together with its regional partners, will continue to document and expose Iran’s race for hegemony under a rising nuclear umbrella via policy studies and recommendations for decision-makers across the region.
In March 2023, the Jerusalem Center held a pathbreaking international conference, “Trusted Regional Partnerships at a Time of Shifting Alliances,” bringing together representatives from nearly 30 Arab and African nations for three days to discuss and find Israeli solutions for national security and water and food security challenges.
At the conference, the Jerusalem Center extended its Abraham Accords partnerships into the African continent. African nations are turning to Israel as an anchor for security, stability, and prosperity, viewing Israel’s technological capabilities as a solution for food security, water desalinization, and infrastructure development for future generations.
For the first time in Israel’s history, a leading Israeli policy and diplomacy institute – the Jerusalem Center – is partnering with Ethiopia’s leading policy and applied diplomacy institutes. Ethiopia, the second-largest African nation, with a population of 125 million, shares similar national security challenges with Israel, including combating terrorism and radicalization, and seeking to maintain political and social cohesion in a multiethnic society. The Jerusalem Center has also been approached by leading policy institutes in Uganda, Kenya, Sudan, and the Red Sea states of Djibouti and Somaliland.
The Jerusalem Center is collaborating with Ethiopia’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (IFA) and Institute for Peace and Security Studies (IPSS) to create a shared agenda using the following modalities:
- Exchange of Jerusalem Center, IFA, and IPSS-led governmental, parliamentary, and diplomatic delegations.
- Zoom consultations, workshops, roundtables, podcasts and videocasts.
- An annual major conference on Israel-Africa national security challenges is to be held in Africa, Israel, and the United States.
- Policy recommendations on strategic intelligence, military and national security, and infrastructure, food, and water security.
- Impact assessment of Israel’s profile in the West including polling of African, Israeli, and Jewish American public opinion on bilateral and multilateral relations.
- Extension of the Jerusalem Center’s policy and applied diplomacy activities through research centers and universities, media and opinion influencers, and selected civil society stakeholders across the African continent.
The Bahrain Center for Strategic, International and Energy Studies (Derasat) is an independent think tank in the Kingdom of Bahrain established in 2009. In 2021, Derasat, headed by Deputy Foreign Minister Dr. Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, signed a cooperation agreement with the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
Emirates Policy Center (EPC) – United Arab Emirates
The Emirates Policy Center (EPC) is an independent think tank based in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, established in 2013. In 2021, the Jerusalem Center and the EPC, headed by Dr. Ebtesam Al-Ketbi, signed a Memorandum of Cooperation that paves the way to promote the exchange of knowledge and fruitful cooperation.
Israel’s normalization and warm ties with India in recent years has become the most important opportunity for Israel in Asia. India’s Vivekananda International Foundation (VIF), headed by Lt.-Gen. R.K. Sawhney, former head of Indian intelligence, has partnered with the Jerusalem Center to pursue joint national security initiatives. VIF has invited the Jerusalem Center to become a member of a small security forum, together with the United Arab Emirates, India, and other regional actors, with the objective of reinforcing security and prosperity in both India and Israel.
Policy Center for the New South – Morocco
The Jerusalem Center is closely cooperating with the Policy Center for the New South in Rabat, Morocco on combatting shared national security threats, particularly from the Iranian regime. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Internationally, January 27th is dedicated as a day of Holocaust remembrance to keep alive the memory of millions of lives taken heinously in this genocide. But is a singular day enough to encapsulate the grief and tragedy that plagued those directly affected and their families? In short answer– no. Maintaining the legacy of all those who suffered and died is a continuous and global effort that is observed on a public and personal scale.
When American troops moved with Allied forces to liberate concentration camps at the end of World War II, Supreme Commander Eisenhower enforced detailed documentation on the state of the camps and their many horrors. Amidst a time of vicious war and great propaganda, this documentation was crucial to maintain the validity of the story without convoluting it with false information meant to harness fear. The crimes committed within the barb-wired and cemented walls deserve to remain in the light with excruciating detail, for downplaying and moving such stories out of sight would be to erase their meaning in all. These events were real, and the story of its victims deserves to be told and remembered for centuries to come.
The Holocaust proves to be a deeply unsettling topic, one that channels pure grief into anyone’s chest. I recall my experience in the Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C. on a school field trip. As our pack of 8th graders shuffled through the museum, it was not uncommon to encounter another student brought to tears or others to utter silence. I remember specifically a room filled with the shoes of Holocaust victims, hundreds upon hundreds of pairs. Seeing numbers attributed to something so horrific creates a statistic, one that strips the individuality of each victim. Yet each shoe was different, different styles and sizes, some even belonging to children. Standing there in that room, one is brought to think of how each shoe belonged to an individual– one with a life, a family, goals, aspirations, all wiped away with a simple number. It is crucial to bring up this fact to preserve the memory on an individual level. Though many victims were unidentified, unnamed, and unfound, we cannot allow them to be erased from history as Hitler intended to do in his deranged pursuit of an Aryan race.
On a personal level, it is important to delve deep into history and if applicable, pass on the stories of our ancestors. My family comes from Poland, myself being the first born in America. When I was younger, I was able to visit my great-grandmother regularly and was often reminded of the sacrifices of my great-grandfather who was the commander of a rural rebellion amidst World War II. He was killed by Nazis, leaving his pregnant wife with only memories, and we honor his memory by visiting a scantily marked tomb. My great grandmother lived on to tell his story, just as those who were lucky enough to survive the concentration camps lived on to tell the stories of the less fortunate. In this way, I believe the most fundamental part of safeguarding the memory of those who were lost is by keeping alive the most personal and intimate accounts, the ones that capture the pain and sacrifice in its entirety. Though these lives have been lost, their memory lives on through institutions, memorials, and the ones who pass on their stories– the ones who care the most.

A warm, summer breeze stirs through a dreamscape, where a lone wild horse, as untamed as the wind itself, freely roams Sable Island. For almost 300 years, his ancestors have evolved here, a rugged existence forged by storms, hurricanes, and brutal winters. In this tranquil moment, he is perfectly at peace, as deeply connected to the land as the earth beneath his hooves.
On a rare, sun-soaked summer day on Sable Island, a sinewy black stallion pauses from grazing in the tall grasses, lifting his head to stretch, his sleek coat glistening in the light. The defined ripples of his powerful muscles catch the warmth of the sun, a striking contrast against the island’s usual harsh, wind-torn days.
On a lonely beach on Sable Island, a rugged stallion gazes out beyond the surf, into the vast unknown. Waves crash and the damp, salty air whips around him. Something out there seems to call to his untamed spirit.
With a long black mane, bleached from relentless sun and salt, a wild Sable Island horse roams freely through the tall, swaying grasses, moving with a natural grace that mirrors the breeze. He is as much a part of the landscape as the wind itself, a living embodiment of the wildness that defines the island.
Two wild horses emerge on the dreamy shore of Sable Island with the whispering wind and pounding waves of the North Atlantic in the background. Hoof prints vanish into the damp sand, and they are suspended in an otherworldly time and place where the endless stretch of sea and sky blur into one. Salt clings to their tangled manes and tails as they stand side by side, lifelong companions bound by loyalty.
On windswept Sable Island, two untamed wild horses stand side by side, their sun-bleached manes flowing in the salty ocean breeze. Their bond runs deep year after year, their connection unshakable. Amid the island’s wild beauty and the relentless forces of extreme weather, they find peace in one another, as inseparable as the sea and the sky. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Director – Choi Dong-hoon – 2022 – South Korea – LKFF Cert. 12 – 142m
In Part One of a proposed double feature, aliens incarcerate prisoners in human brains and time travel between present day and fourteenth century Korea and mayhem ensues – from LKFF, the London Korean Film Festival 2022;
Part Two Alienoid: Return to the Future plays in LKFF 2024
The first film of a two-part adventure, which would be more sensibly released as Alienoid – Part One (which may already be the case in some territories), this revolves around multiple protagonists in two separate timelines divided by six or seven centuries. In the fourteenth century, Guard, who morphs between true robot and fake human appearances not unlike the T-1000 of Terminator 2 Judgement Day (James Cameron, 1991), and his even more confusing companion Thunder, who is sometimes a car, sometimes a flying pod and sometimes any number of human manifestations (both / all played by Kim Woo-bin), fail to save a woman from dying after an alien escapes incarceration within her brain, however Thunder rescues the woman’s baby.
The pair travel forward in time to raise Lee Ahn (Choi Yu-ri) in the twenty-first century where she sees what she’s not supposed to: the impregnation process whereby alien prisoners are incarcerated in human brains, a memory wiped immediately afterwards from the humans used for this purpose, meaning people wander around not knowing there are aliens trapped inside their heads.… Read the rest | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It sounds simple to fix a leaking toilet. It sounds simple to move a pipe one foot to the left (or right). It sounds simple to install a new vanity and sink.
However, as you get involved with your project, you may soon find that nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, what you thought was simple is actually a complex task that causes you all types of issues.
Here are three of the biggest problems with DIY plumbing;
- You don’t know how to get started. Even if you know what you want to accomplish, you may have no clue as to which step to take first.
- You’re afraid of making a mistake. With this in mind, you may hold yourself back from doing what needs to be done.
- You won’t do it right. Obviously, this is the top feature of DIY plumbing. Even though you want to do the job the right way, your lack of experience and knowledge could hold you back. Consequently, you end up in a worse position.
So, there you have it. These are the biggest problems with DIY plumbing. Rather than go down this path, hire a professional to complete your project and put your mind at ease. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In addition, Kathy Phillips won the Outstanding Assistant Award, given to assistants who demonstrate exceptional performance in the execution of their duties and in support of their director’s leadership.
In an article featuring Jordan, Dr. Smith says, “We are so pleased that the leadership of Pioneer College Caterers has formally recognized what our students, faculty, staff, and administration have experienced. You have not only provided exceptional meals but have done so with a servant’s heart and a genuine love for our entire campus community. You have continued to make the daily routine of the Gally Commons a central feature of our campus life–you have participated in meaningful ways in the broader life of our community.”
Congratulations, Jordan and Kathy. We are so grateful to have both of you at Johnson! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Local Scene Idiots
Identification: These morons will drag you to the worst parties...Even if you live in the wilds of the Yukon, there’ll be at least one shitty local band and at least fifty idiots who turn up at all their gigs and nod along to the music (the “beers in both hands” dance). In larger towns, there will be dozens of shitty local bands, and the scene will be bolstered by all the members of the shitty local bands turning up to see all the other shitty local bands when they play shitty local gigs. The local scene idiots will be at every show, fervently yelling out requests for songs that only members of their pathetic little stratum will ever hear. Coming from a small and sceneless town, I’ve experienced firsthand the horror of a primordial music scene oozing out of an extremely shallow pool of talent, and it’s a horrific, Cronenbergesque sight. The teenagers in this dead-end town, with no outlet for being hip, were forced to wrangle their sensibilities into enjoying some truly horrific music.Local Scene Idiots are only cool to each other. If they go two towns over, they won’t get much mileage out of knowing all the members of Butt Attack personally, because Butt Attack’s rusty van can’t make it that far afield without overheating. In minor markets, local scene idiots can never rise above “big fish/small pond status,” but that’s enough for them. “Someday,” they tragically think, “when Butt Attack gets huge, I’m going to say I knew them when.”
Musical Taste: Butt Attack.
How to Tame a Local Scene Idiot: Just start a band. It doesn’t matter how god-awful it is. The local scene idiots will be clamoring to interview you for their ‘zine or their pirate radio show before you can say Jack Robinson. Either that, or just be bored enough to go to some terrible local shows. After you lower yourself to attending a few, your scene idiot friend will call you up whenever some miserable local event is happening.
Benefits of Friendship: They’ll get you out of the house. Even if they bands they love are crap, even if the local clubs are terrible, and even if the house parties they drag you to are lame, they’ll get you out of the house, and you’ll always love them for it.
Drawbacks of Friendship: When you’ve seen every band in your town fifty times and they’ve shown no signs of improvement, you might begin to curse your local scene idiot friend for dragging you out of the house when you could have been watching Hard Copy in your underwear.
If you have any questions regarding the taxonomies or anatomies of hipster organisms, feel free to write to firstname.lastname@example.org. Or if you have any really goofy pictures of misguided hipster morons, I’d love to see those.

🚨 EMERGENCY 🚨 please help me to take Juanito to the sanctuary NOW. Juanito is about 7 years old, he can’t walk and drag his body around, as you can see he hurt his leg really bad, he is terribly underweight and as you can feel for these photos, he is sad. He is about a couple hours away from here, he needs special vet care, the right diet, painkillers and more. The story is very sad, we rescued this pig with a girl who later I found she to have some mental problems, she took the pig away from me when he was just a little baby and I never knew where he went, but our souls were one and we have to be together again.
One day I was speaking with someone who was telling me he has a pig at his parent’s farm but nobody care for him properly and he asked me if he can come here, I asked how old is the pig and his name, he said Juanito. And my heart jumped! I asked for photos and when he showed me the photos when Juanito was a baby I found out was the same pig, he was alive!!! But in these terrible conditions, that guy who now is my friend has no access to his parents’ farm, and he only knows that Juanito needs to be here, he is not receiving the right vet care, he is suffering and in pain. PLEASE PLEASE BE HIS CHRISTMAS MIRACLE please don’t leave him there! Help me to give tie life he deserves, this is an emergency. We need about $2.000 for transportation, first veterinary expenses and fix the area where he is going to be here. Please help me, you are his hope, you are his only option.

The Las Vegas Raiders head into the 2021 NFL season looking to finally get back to the playoffs, and these three high-dollar players must be great.
The Las Vegas Raiders are in a pretty good position when it comes to the salary cap. Although in 2021, they do not have much room to maneuver, the offseason is basically coming to a close, and rosters are almost certainly being finalized with training camp getting underway soon.
Next year is another story for the Raiders. The 2022 season could see quite a shakeup if a few players are not up to par this season. The Raiders are going into Year 4 under head coach Jon Gruden, and this year might be the most critical. The franchise has yet to reach the playoffs under Gruden, and with a ten-year contract signed by the coach, it seems that fingers will not be pointed at “Chucky”, but more or less the roster.
Over the last two seasons, the Raiders have faltered down the stretch, appearing to be a playoff team early on, and then playing terrible across the second half of the season. Las Vegas has handed out some big-dollar contracts to some crucial players, and we look at a few who need to be great in 2021 for this team to take the next step forward.

KASHMIR NEWS TRUST #KNT
National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday raided multiple locations in connection with various cases under investigation by the agency.
NIA in a statement said that extensive searches were conducted in Srinagar, Budgam, Pulwama, Shopian, Awantipora, Anantnag, Handwara, Kupwara and Poonch districts relating to members of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and overground workers involved in conspiracies hatched by proscribed militant organizations and their affiliates. NIA’s searches also focused on the J&K Militant Funding Case, registered suo moto by the agency in 2021.
NIA spokesperson said that a large number of incriminating documents and digital devices with incriminating contents have been seized during these searches and are being scrutinized to track further links of the suspects.
The militant funding case as per the NIA pertains to the collection of funds by JeI (J&K) ostensibly for charitable purposes but has been using them instead for the promotion of militant activities by proscribed militant organizations, such as Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) etc.
NIA had earlier charge sheeted four persons in the case, involving well-organized cadres of the militant outfits operating in Jammu and Kashmir.
The NIA had last year registered another case against the various banned militant organizations and their newly floated affiliates. The case related to the conspiracies being hatched physically and in cyberspace by these outfits for carrying out militant attacks in J&K with sticky bombs, IEDs and small arms etc. The banned organizations and their affiliates have been engaged in conspiring to commit acts of militancy and violence by radicalizing local youth and mobilizing overground workers with the aim of disrupting the peace and communal harmony in Jammu and Kashmir.
The spokesperson said that continuing with its investigations in both these cases, NIA has been moving swiftly to take action against some of the recently launched affiliates of the banned militant organizations, such as LeT, HUM, Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM), Al-Badr, Al-Qaeda, etc. Among the affiliates under NIA scrutiny are The Resistance Front (TRF), United Liberation Front Jammu & Kashmir (ULFJ&K), Mujahideen Gazwat-ul-Hind (MGH), Jammu & Kashmir Freedom Fighters (JKFF), Kashmir Tigers, PAAF.
NIA investigations so far have shown that cadres and workers of these outfits are involved in the collection and distribution of sticky bombs, magnetic bombs, IEDs, funds, drugs, and weapons & ammunition, as well as in spreading activities relating to terror, violence and subversion in J&K.

Village in Pulwama district yet to witness the marvel called electricity
‘PDD gets 'Saubhagya Excellence Award' for 100 percent electrification’
Pulwama: Even as Jammu and Kashmir bagged ‘Saubhagya Excellence Award’ for being the first State in the country to achieve 100% household electrification under the scheme, a village in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district is still reeling under darkness as the locality is yet to be electrified.
In the 21st century, the local residents of new colony Kalampora are still using traditional oil lamps to enlighten their houses.
Residents of New colony Kalampora said even after several pleas from last three years, the area is still without any electricity.
They said a High tension line is passing through the area but authorities have miserably failed to take steps to ensure electricity to the village, leaving residents to lurch at large.
The residents mostly the students are facing lot of difficulties as they can’t study mainly after dusk hours due to darkness in the area, Zakir Ahmad, a local said.
A high school is also functioning in the area but due to non-availability of electricity, a computer lab is lying dysfunctional, he added.
“We are eagerly waiting for the electricity as we have struggled very hard to provide education to our children but lack of electricity has left us all depressed,” a lady from the area said.
The dismayed residents have requested higher authorities to look into the matter and provide electricity in the area at an earliest.
Executive Engineer Pulwama, Ghulam Mohammad said a team from the department has visited the area recently and they have taken cognizance of the issue. “Area will get electricity within a period of 15 days,” he assured. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Car mechanic Adebola Omotosho has to drive eight kilometres across Nigeria’s bustling commercial hub Lagos to fill his tank with compressed natural gas.
He is among the few Nigerians who were early adopters of the alternative fuel, which can still be hard to come by.
Nevertheless, Omotosho believes the financial and environmental benefits outweigh the inconvenience of long trips to the gas station.
“Even with that, it is still far cheaper. Before now, I spent 75,000 naira (about $50) on petrol, but now I spend 12,000 on CNG every week,” he told AFP.
Authorities are pushing CNG as the silver bullet to end Nigeria’s perennial fuel shortages and a five-fold price hike since President Bola Tinubu abolished fuel subsidies in May 2023.
In September 2023, Tinubu established the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI) to drive CNG adoption and ease Nigeria into a cleaner energy era.
The Nigerian government first supported CNG-powered vehicles in 2007, but only began promoting their widespread use last year.
The African economic powerhouse is looking to join the likes of Argentina, Brazil and Iran, where millions of vehicles are powered by the alternative fuel.
About 100,000 cars have been converted so far, with more than $200 million already invested, the CEO of the PCNGI, Michael Oluwagbemi, said.
With about 12 million vehicles on Nigerian roads, the government is targeting the conversion of one million commercial vehicles by 2026.
Private car owners will have to bear the hefty cost of conversion. It currently costs about 1.3 million naira (about $775) to convert a four-cylinder car with a 2.4-litre engine to CNG.
With some 129 million Nigerians living in poverty, according to the World Bank, and a soaring cost of living, not many in the country can afford to pay the cost out of pocket.
“The upfront cost of making that conversion is prohibitive to most … drivers,” said Chidalu Onyenso, the CEO of Earthbond, a company that helps businesses transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy.
But Oluwagbemi said salaried workers can access loans to convert their vehicles with a 12-month repayment plan.
To hit its ambitious target, the government has to reckon with the slow speed of conversions and a limited number of CNG fuelling stations.
“In the last six months before the government made it popular, I was able to convert five cars,” Jide Fasetire, a trained technician, told AFP at his workshop in Lagos.
He has now converted 20 vehicles since the government began its CNG campaign, with at least 18 more on his waiting lists. It currently takes at least two days to convert one vehicle.
“Our target timing for each conversion is … three hours but we’ve not been able to achieve that,” he said, explaining that technicians are still learning the skills necessary.
Officials say 75 new stations are being built across the country for ease of access.
In September and October, a spate of posts on the social media platform X claimed that conversion to CNG was unsafe, with one widely-read post calling it a “time bomb”.
An explosion of a CNG-powered car in the southern Edo state and the news of Malaysia walking back its CNG ambitions over safety concerns further fuelled public scepticism.
Officials blamed the explosion on the use of “uncertified, and poorly fabricated CNG cylinders” and vowed stricter compliance measures.
“Safety issues from the proliferation of unlicensed conversion centres pose a grave security risk,” an energy expert Kelvin Emmanuel told AFP.
Babatunde Odukoya, a freight forwarder who spends 150,000 weekly on fuelling his mid-size crossover SUV, told AFP that talk of the Edo explosion had been “discouraging”.
He is, however, open to switching to CNG if he is convinced of its safety.
Several car owners told AFP that they have not had any issues with the gas, and Oluwagbemi insisted that a properly converted vehicle is less risky than one running on diesel or petrol.
Onyenso argues mass adoption of CNG will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality and cut maintenance costs.
However, she warned that CNG adoption should be seen as part of Nigeria’s journey to sustainable energy and not its destination.
“As Nigeria makes this transition to CNG, it should be seen as something that is not done as just a permanent switchover, but … in concert with greening the grid,” Onyenso said.

The Kansas City Chiefs did the unthinkable on Thursday night, knocking off the defending champs on their home turf. The Patriots raised their fifth banner, but the Chiefs had the last laugh in this one.
THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS BEAT THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS WHEN NO ONE SAID THEY WOULD!!!! ALEX SMITH THREW FOR OVER 300 YARDS!!! KAREEM HUNT OMGOMGOMG!!!
Sorry if that was a little extreme, but oh jeez what an opener, man! The Kansas City Chiefs took down the defending Super Bowl champions on their home turf and didn’t even break a sweat in doing so. The final score was 42-27 in what will forever be a night to remember for Chiefs Kingdom.
We saw a whole new Chiefs team in the season opener, as the good guys pulled off the biggest upset imaginable in week one. No one goes into Foxboro and leaves with a victory, but the Kansas City Chiefs did just that tonight and oh my goodness was it glorious!
The biggest takeaways from this game, other than the win of course, was how well the offense played. Alex Smith looked like a man with a fire lit under his butt. Smith threw for 368 yards and four touchdowns and outplayed Tom Brady. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
Rookie Kareem Hunt had a hell of an NFL debut. It didn’t look like it was going to be off to a good start, with Hunt fumbling on his first NFL carry, but the kid went on to put up incredible stats. He rushed for 148 yards off of 17 carries and caught five passes for 98 yards. Hunt totaled three touchdowns on the evening.

Some upsetting parts about this game were all of the penalties. The KC Chiefs racked up 15 penalties to New England’s six, which could have been a lot more costly.
The biggest news from the evening, however, was Eric Berry leaving the game on a cart with an Achilles injury. As we know with some of our favorite players in the past, Achilles injuries can be brutal and Berry could end up missing a good chunk of the season. I’m not a doctor though, so hopefully I’m wrong.
At the end of the night though, the Kansas City Chiefs did the unthinkable. No one thought the Chiefs were going to storm in Foxboro and leave with a W, but they did just that. I still am stunned with the results, but I’m so happy to see this type of game from the Chiefs. They took the Patriots to the woodshed in this one and it was fantastic to see.
What about you, Chiefs Kingdom? What did you take out of this game? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As the 2011-2012 school year approaches, it is time to start thinking about your child’s educational needs. If you are just starting the special education process and have been contemplating an uation or you are further along in the process, you will soon be meeting with others to discuss your child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP).
At this meeting, there is a group of individuals and professionals who, by law, must be present. This group is called the IEP Team. The IEP Team is responsible for developing, revising and reviewing your child’s IEP. The Team must determine whether the student is eligible for special education services and if so, what services should be provided as part of the student’s IEP.
The IEP Team for each child with a disability must include:
- The parents of the child;
- Not less than one regular education teacher of the child (if the child is, or may be, participating in the regular education environment);
- Not less than one special education teacher of the child, or where appropriate, not less than one special education provider of the child;
- A representative of the public agency who—
- Is qualified to provide, or supervise the provision of, specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities;
- Is knowledgeable about the general education curriculum; and
- Is knowledgeable about the availability of resources of the public agency.
- An individual who can interpret the instructional implications of uation results, who may be a member of the team described in paragraphs (a)(2) through (a)(6) of this section;
- At the discretion of the parent or the agency, other individuals who have knowledge or special expertise regarding the child, including related services personnel as appropriate; and
- Whenever appropriate, the child with a disability.
The parent can invite other people, such as an attorney, advocate, doctor, psychologists, or other individuals who are familiar with the child or family, but this is not required.
If you are starting the process or are immersed in it, call me to discuss the process and if you need a Special Education Law attorney to help guide you through the process. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Standard Monofocal Lens Implant for Cataract Treatment
For those who don’t mind occasionally wearing glasses, the standard monofocal lens procedure can effectively treat your cataracts and improve your ability to see up close. This safe and effective eye lens treatment has helped millions of people enjoy better vision at a distance without causing glare or halos around lights.
However, standard lens monofocal implants do not allow you to easily switch focus between near and far distances. This means that you will still need to wear glasses for certain activities. In addition, this procedure does not correct astigmatism.

Established in 2021, the Brandie R. Siegfried Lectureship honors the life and legacy of a distinguished teacher, scholar, and mentor.

Once a year, the Global Women's Studies program invites a distinguished scholar of women’s studies to share their research with the BYU community both in a formal lecture and in informal meetings with students and faculty. Lecturers are awarded with a stipend to further their research on women. Future lecturers join inaugural lecturer Dr. Elizabeth Hodgson, Professor of English Literature at University of British Columbia, in receiving this honor.
GWS faculty affiliates are invited to nominate potential lecturers. Submit your nominations here. Nominees may include BYU faculty members, faculty at other universities, and independent scholars.
All are invited to attend the Brandie R. Siegfried Lecture—a celebration of intellectual curiosity and generosity--held each in March during Women's History Month.

Tonsils are lymph nodes which are located at the back of the throat. Generally, they play the role of preventing or fighting off infections. As one of your body’s first lines of defense, they act as filters which help trap any viruses or bacteria from entering the human body mainly through the sinuses and the mouth. Also, the tonsils stimulate the body’s immune system to generate antibodies which fight any infection that threatens the body.
However, at times, the tonsils become overwhelmed by an infection, and in turn, these infection fighters get infected themselves. When the bacteria or viruses become too much to be effectively handled by the tonsils, they become swollen and irritated. This condition is often referred to as tonsillitis.
Bacterial and viral attacks are known to be the root causes for swollen tonsils or tonsillitis. One of the most common bacteria which can cause tonsil infection is the Streptococcus while other culprits may include influenza virus, parainfluenza viruses, herpes simplex virus, adenoviruses, Epstein-Barr virus and enteroviruses.
Anyone who belongs to any age group can suffer from tonsillitis. On the other hand, it is found to be most common in children who are five to fifteen years old. Along with the swollen tonsils, individuals may also suffer from enlarged lymph nodes on the neck, pain in swallowing, sore throat, and fever. More often than not, when the tonsils become inflamed, they typically turn red and may have some white spots on their surface.
If your tonsillitis is caused by bacteria, treatment with antibiotics is highly advised in order to control the spread of the infection. However, if it is caused by a virus, usually, it will just go away on its own and the treatment will usually be focused on easing the discomfort. In severe cases, doctors may advise to do a surgery called tonsillectomy in order to remove the tonsils. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

• (thermal) design analyses and optimization
• design for production
• space qualification with (industrial) partners
dump heat into space.
Satellites often contain on-board computers allowing sophisticated processing. The electronics produce heat that needs to be dumped into space. The increase in power dissipated in CubeSats demands a more advanced thermal control system (TCS). To integrate a TCS into a CubeSat, it needs to be low-cost, physically small, low in power consumption, and both modular and flexible. Royal NLR developed a new thermal concept as a robust solution for this: the mini mechanically-pumped loop (MPL). Alongside NLR, Demcon kryoz is now bringing this technology to the next TRL, and is preparing it for industrial production.
The sizes of small satellites (also known as nanosatellites) follow the CubeSat standard, which defines the outer dimensions of the satellite within multiple cubical units (U). 1U is equivalent to dimensions of 10x10x10cm. A typical size that can accommodate small technology payloads is a 3-unit CubeSat with dimensions of 10x10x30cm. A thermal control system becomes relevant for 3U CubeSats with large deployable solar panels, or 8U without deployable solar panels.
"space, the final frontier?"
Dumping heat into space might seem an easy task since space is extremely cold, right? In reality this isn’t (always) the case. Besides being very cold, space can also be very hot. Moving heat away from dissipative devices inside space satellites towards space radiators is a challenging but really interesting task. It’s great to work with partners like ESA, NLR and ISIS Space to solve these issues. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Aloe vera is one such plant that is proven magical for hair, skin and health.
Aloe vera has been used in Ayurvedic practice for thousands of years and is filled with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
However, despite being such a multipurpose and readily available ingredient, very few people are aware of its health-enhancing benefits.
The plant is rich in vitamins A, C, E, B12, and well offers a strong punch of minerals according to the Indian Journal of Dermatology. Therefore, the fluid derived from this plant helps to treat issues that range from wounds to skin aging.
So without any ado lets see its top five uses of aloe vera that you must know:
The most common use of aloe vera is skincare. It hydrates the skin, prevents flaccid skin, and soothes skin discomfort with great water storage ability.
Also, it is pretty good for the hair. Apply aloe vera gel directly to your scalp, wash it off with water, and then wash it again after 24 hours with a mild shampoo, and all the frizziness is gone.
Also referred to as a “burn remedy,” this plant is very helpful in treating skin burns. It can help heal burns first to second-degree due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
It destroys bacteria in the mouth, giving you a clean breath. Not only that, but it’s also known to prevent mouth sores, ulcers, gum infections, and pain in the mouth.
When it comes to fighting COVID-19 , you already know that handwashing and avoiding direct contact with anyone who may be sick are important measures. In addition, experts have also said that improving your immune system will give you the edge to battle off viruses and stay safe amid the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Aloe vera juice is a powerhouse of micro-nutrients that help to counter free radical damage in the body, thereby further improving immunity.
As i said its magical plant it has endless uses but today lets dig in deeper with its amazing benefits of for hair. Below we have 3 aloe vera hair mask that you should apply once a week or every fortnight.
1. Aloe Vera With Some Yoghurt Hair Mask For Shine
Blend three fresh aloe vera gel teaspoons with two yoghurt teaspoons, one honey teaspoon and one olive oil teaspoon. Mix well, and apply to scalp and hair. Massage the mixture well over the scalp for 10 minutes. Let it rest, and wash for half an hour.
This mask helps preserve the hair’s natural shine, and also works well to get rid of dandruff.
2. Aloe Vera And Coconut Oil Hair Mask For Deep Conditioning
Mix two teaspoons of fresh and clean aloe vera gel with one cup of honey and three cups of coconut oil. Massage well into the hair; allow it to rest for half an hour and wash with shampoo then.
This mask will bring your dry and dull hair into deep condition, adding moisture and bounce.
3. Aloe Vera And Castor Oil Mask For Thicker Hair
You can use either fresh juice or gel of it for this mask. Mix a spoonful of castor oil with 3-4 teaspoons of aloe vera gel. Attach a few drops of the essential rosemary oil. Use this as a mask to cover all the strands of the hair. Hold on for 20 minutes and rub the paste on the scalp for 5 minutes before taking it off or washing.
Clean your hair with a mild shampoo. Castor oil is highly nutritious and helps to enhance the texture of the hair.
All in all, now you have to realize that Aloe Vera is much more than the small plant that you have in your house, which is still alive only because you never have to water it.
Note: Use mild shampoo for washing the mask off.
You can use mixer or blender for getting a paste like texture.
Use a sharp knife to cut the thorns off each leaf ‘s edge.
As I said this magical plant will never let you run out of uses and surprises. What’s even interesting is how easy it is to mother this plant at home!
With these aloe vera benefits for the hair, we hope we have convinced you to get one for yourself. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

minus-squareChozolinkfedilink9•3 months agoIf I had to guess, I’d say funding and plausible deniability are the big reasons. The longer the war wages on, the longer the US and other allies keep sending them money and weapons. And killing them off slowly makes it easier to argue to the ICC that you weren’t trying to commit genocide, it just kinda happened as an oh-so-unfortunate side-effect of defending themselves.
minus-square@firstname.lastname@example.org•3 months agoWhat “plausible deniability”? If they spent two hours killing everyone in Gaza, it’d be over before anyone could do anything about it. And then what? Nobody’s going to war with a nuclear power in revenge for Gazans. Bibi just stops visiting Brooklyn and nothing happens. But they don’t do that. The Jews of Israel bleed and die to save the lives of Gazans who hate them. I wouldn’t, but they do.

Israel sends 3500 calories to Gaza per Gazan per day; that’s more food per day than a person eats in Luxembourg.

There are many advantages for choosing a mother board room with high-quality UTAV. Board rooms are showcase spaces with respect to an company and set the bar when a potential customer walks inside the door. A team of architects, interior designers, and marketing specialists for K2AV can design and fit the boardroom to your specifications, ensuring a smooth change from https://learn-to-program.net/2021/11/21/how-to-choose-an-easy-to-use-data-room-solution-for-an-upcoming-deal/ concept to completion. Major of a aboard room should be to create a place that makes it possible for easy, useful communication.
Many boardrooms happen to be furnished with modern day furnishings, stone convention game tables that seating around twenty people, onsite catering, and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment. Think about a boardroom, keep in mind that it is far from necessary to spend a lot of money in furniture, personal, or furnishings. The most important aspect is that it gives you the appropriate ambiance for effective mother board meetings. Be sure that the boardroom is equipped with modern tools to enable easy collaboration amongst aboard members.

Many of these boardrooms feature Access to the internet ports and also other amenities, just like projection tools. Many bigger board areas also feature ceiling-mounted microphones. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Expendables second part is a bizarre mix of cliché and predictability. A too simple story line with unwanted special appearances to give it an all star feel has literally destroyed the entire movie. Apart from some brutal fight sequences and occasional cool dialogs, there is nothing in the movie to make it an interesting watch.
In this new episode, Barney Ross and his gang are on a mission to get destroying the villain who wants to sell plutonium from an old soviet reactor. Barney first accepts the offer from agent Church to get a lady Maggy to a plane shot on Albania to retrieve particular blue print information. But as he loses a key man of his group during that mission, Barney and the gang decides to take revenge on the villain and on their way to this they happen to save lives and of cause gets aided by the retired superheroes.
The basic problem of the movie is the lame and outdated story. The script of the movie is filled with clichés and overdose of heroism which we just can’t accept in a Hollywood movie. The characters of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Chuck Norris don’t have anything to do with the content. Schwarzenegger and Chuck were at least used stupidly to help the team when there was no way for them to get out of some mess ups. But Bruce Willis and Jet Lee were totally Zero.
On screen, well the main spotlight was basically on Stallone and Stathom. They have done their parts smartly. The rest of the cast including Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Yu Nan was satisfying. It was really sad to see Arnold in such a bad shape. Bruce Willis was cool in his role.
Off screen, direction is not that fresh. Screenplay is a bizarre mix of heroism and predictability. Some dialogs are there to make it interesting. I really loved the dialog by Arnold when Stallone says that the plane is Museum stuff. Fight was brutal and cool. VFX wasn’t that impressive with no natural blend.
If you are someone who screams for mass masala action movies with too thin content, this one will be the right choice for you. But as a quality Hollywood flick, this one is a galaxy away. I am giving 1.5/5 for this Simon West. Sylvester Stallone, please stay away from the pen.

Most commercial entities that collect data and assemble it into databases would not readily disseminate such proprietary information, and if they did, they would most likely require the payment of a fee and the execution of a license agreement setting forth the scope of allowable use of the licensed database. Many state and local governments in the United States collect and manipulate data that is, in some way, tied to geographical features. Such data is often called “geodata.” The issue of a state agency treating its data, and particularly its geodata, as if they were the owners of such data for licensing purposes is complicated by several factors. This article will explore these factors, including whether a state agency can be the owner of a copyright in the geodata it creates, the effect of a state’s Freedom of Information Act or FOIA on the ability of a state to claim such copyright ownership or require the execution of a restrictive license agreement as a condition to access the geodata, and what the terms of such license should address and what the license fee can and should be. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
