At 9am on 1 December 2020, the new Skilled Worker visa opens for applications, replacing the Tier 2 (General) visa as the main immigration route for migrants coming to the UK for skilled work.
The Skilled Worker route forms part of the UK’s new points-based immigration system, which will apply equally to EU and non-EU citizens once Freedom of Movement from the EU ends at 11pm on 31 December 2020.
Who can apply for a Skilled Worker visa?
In order to apply for a visa under the Skilled Worker route, applicants need to hold a job offer from an approved sponsor at the required skill and salary levels for this route.
As part of the new points-based system, applicants to the Skilled Worker route must score 70 points to be granted entry. All applicants must meet the following mandatory criteria:
- They hold a confirmed job offer from an approved sponsor (20 points)
- The job must be at an appropriate skill level (20 points)
- The applicant must speak English to an acceptable standard (10 points).
To make up the required 70 points, applicants can earn a further 20 “tradeable” points based on their salary, having a job offer in a shortage occupation or a relevant PhD.
What are the skill and salary thresholds?
A key difference between the previous Tier 2 (General) route and the new Skilled Worker route is lower skill and salary thresholds. This means that employers are now able to sponsor workers in a wider range of roles than before.
The new skill and salary thresholds are as follows:
- Skill threshold: Individuals applying to the Skilled Worker route will need to hold a job offer at a skill level of RQF3 or above, which is defined as A-level or equivalent. Formal qualifications will not be required, as it is the skill level of the job they will be doing which is important
- Salary threshold: When sponsoring an employee on a Skilled Worker visa, employers must pay them at least the minimum salary of £20,480, or the going rate (or, in some cases, a proportion of the going rate) for the occupation, whichever is higher.
Lower minimum salary rules apply for workers in certain health or education roles, shortage occupation roles, PhD holders and for “new entrants” at the start of their career. For example, new entrants are permitted to enter the UK on a salary 30% lower than the rate for experienced workers in any occupation, as long as the salary is at least £20,480.
Alongside the Skilled Worker route, the new Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) route also opens for applications on 1 December.
The ICT visa is a temporary immigration route which enables multi-national companies to transfer their overseas employees to a UK subsidiary or connected branch of the business for temporary assignments.
In order to meet the eligibility requirements for this route, applicants must:
- Have been employed by the sending business for at least 12 months, or three months for graduate trainees.
- Hold a valid Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) from a licenced sponsor.
- Meet the minimum salary requirement of £41,500, or £23,000 for graduate trainees.
- Be employed in a role skilled to RQF level 6.
Some positive changes have been introduced to the new ICT route to allow greater flexibility for shorter-term assignments. For example, individuals in the UK on a ICT visa are no longer required to complete a 12-month cooling-off period before switching.
Instead, the new rules state that workers on the ICT route can stay in the UK for a cumulative total of 5 years in any 6-year period, unless their salary in the UK is £73,900 per year or more, in which case the maximum period is a cumulative total of 9 years in any 10-year period.
Irish and EU citizens
The UK’s new points-based immigration system does not apply to Irish citizens or EU citizens with an existing right to work in the UK. This includes EU citizens with either settled or pre-settled status.
EU citizens already living in the UK by 31 December 2020 can apply for settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), and have until 30 June 2021 to make an application.

Many people are beginning to realize the vast savings in installing Solar Panels, this way they can harness energy from the sun, and I’ve even heard cases where big electricity companies purchase leftover solar energy from homeowners.
One such company is Enmax, a massive electricity company in Calgary, Canada.
Installing Solar Panels has a variety of benefits. You can save up to $84 per month on electricity, states Forbes.com. Some place, you can save over $100, that’s $1200 of savings per year. In a period of ten years, you can save $12000!, other places with more sun, even more. On top of that, many homeowners who choose to install solar panels do it out of conscious for the environment. Per year, you save around 80+ trees just using solar panels. Eliminating your household emissions of Carbon Dioxide. In a time where 1 in every 8 deaths are linked to air pollution, a study found. Humans have become more conscious of their direct effects on Earth. Businesses are hurryingly moving to more environment friendly methods of business, as this has become the economical standard of today.
Pros and Cons of Solar Panels
- Solar Energy from Solar Panels, is renewable, we will not run out of it, and we can reuse it without feeling guilt that we’re sacrificing our Earth in the process. Solar Panels emit zero emissions when operating, displays a Solar Power company.
- Solar Energy is silent. Solar Panels emit no noise at all, and efficiently produce maximum solar energy.Solar Panels require little maintenance, just annually they need to be checked if they’re working properly.
- Solar Panels increase Home value, you probably have heard this elsewhere, but just to inform you if you don’t know, adding Solar Panels to your house increases its value and attractiveness on the market. A study shows that homes with Solar Panels sell for 17% more cash, and 20% faster!
- Solar Panels installation is fast and easy! Solar Panels can be installed in remote locations also. Many farms are now using Solar Panels to run their farm from solar powered renewable energy.
- Solar Panels can be expensive. Even if it’s a good investment some people can’t afford Solar energy due to its sheer price, an upturn is that recently Solar Panels are getting lower in price, compared to when they came out, they were almost a luxury item, now, we can contemplate to buy them. As the world moves to more Renewable Energy alternatives, Solar Panel prices are bound to go lower.
- Solar Panels also require space, so if you live somewhere crowded, for instance in a downtown apartment. It may be hard to install Solar Panels, the way to combat this is to efficiently place Solar Panels. Some people think Solar Panels don’t work when clouds are out or if they’re not in bulk. This is not the case, it’s surprising how little amount of sun the Solar Panels need to produce energy, they harness the suns power, a power source all life on Earth is reliable on. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
We have worked with the following organisations to digitise many of the records on our website.
Partnering with organisations such as the ones below allows for the digitisation and indexing of records that may not otherwise be digitised (or at least not for a very long time). We do not surrender any rights under these contracts, we grant partners a license to publish the copies they create on their websites. We also publish those records to our site over time.
PROV has partnered with Ancestry to digitise the microfilm record collections we have in our Reading Rooms and other key family history records including those related to divorce and mental health. These records are published by ancestry through their website, with many now also available on our website. We are publishing more over time.

Family Search have digitised Victorian wills, probate and inquest records from the 1840s to 1925, rate records up to 1930, and records from various other series. We are publishing these records to our website.
Find My Past
Find My Past joined forces with Family Search and PROV to digitise Coastal Passenger Lists and Petty Sessions registers from the PROV collection. These records are now published on the Find My Past website and we continue to release them to the PROV website as well.
PROV partnered with My Heritage to associate the index of unassisted inwards passengers with the digitised passenger lists, allowing us to publish both as part of the launch of our updated website in 2021.
Public Record Office Victoria digitisation projects
Public Record Office Victoria staff and volunteers are constantly working to make sure that more of our records are available online. Recently completed volunteer projects include copies of photo albums created by the Melbourne Harbour Trust. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Julian Nagelsmann insists Germany will continue to improve and does not need a major overhaul after their quarter-final exit at the Euros
was their best showing in eight years, following an extra-time quarter-final defeat to Spain.
“I have never been to other tournaments. But I have heard that it is not always the case that players leave a training camp in tears after six weeks,” Nagelsmann said.
“From now on we will try to improve things and not necessarily overhaul everything. The Nations League will be an avenue for us to improve even further.”
Germany are almost a decade without a major championship. And will have to wait at least another two years before the World Cup.
However, their form has encouraged their domestic fans to turn to the team again, overcoming the disappointments of their first-round exits at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Toni Kroos will retire after Euros, while fellow veterans Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer are set to retire from international football.
“We are still developing the team. ยูฟ่าเบท http://ufabet999.app And that is normal after the previous few years. We had 26 or 28 players who could still play in a World Cup. “
We will lose one important player like Toni Kroos and see if the others will follow. “
There is no reason to do a major overhaul. Because we are in a very good shape and that is a good foundation to build on. My job will be to continue as it began.”
They will be joined by young players like Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala and Nagelsmann is sure Germany can improve with the support of their fans.
“I always said we need the fans to be united behind us. After a terrible tournament we had a vision and a belief that together we can do good things. I want to give the fans more, win trophies. “
I hope the country is united and people help each other more. We should not be so sad that everything looks gloomy. I think we solved that with a little thing called football.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Title: Kungka Dancing
Janet has painted a woman or kunga dancing at her campsite. The kunga has customary markings painted on her breasts for performing ceremonial dances. The campsite is identified by the fireplace (star in the middle), dogs and wiltja – traditional shelter made of branches.
Papulankutja Artists is a community-based, not-for-profit Aboriginal Corporation governed by a committee of elected members.
It evolved out of the Women’s Centre where painting had been encouraged as an activity for both men and women since the mid 1980s. With the Aboriginal art market taking off it became necessary to establish a legal framework to protect the artists and their entitlements. Papulankutja Artists was born in 2003 and a year later registered as an Aboriginal Corporation with the members governing the art centre. After five year struggling to find a home Papulankutja Artists moved into a purpose built art centre in 2009. The art centre also works with artists in Mantamaru (Jameson), a community 75kms to the west.
About the artist: Janet Forbes
Janet is an accomplished artist with a fine sense of colour and composition. Her artworks are often intricately layered. She is also a weaver.

One of the comparatively few Chimerians found scattered throughout the planet Mobius, Marbas Dimitrio is a known terrorist from Eurish with a troubled past, born in a region where Chimerians were and still are heavily discriminated against.
A lean-muscled Chimerian who stands a fair bit over four feet tall, Marbas has a somewhat short muzzle with a large, triangular nose, fairly large, diamond-shaped ears, and a large pair of wings on his back, as well as a pair of antlers on his head.
His fur and feathers are primarily pale silver in color, with a parchment muzzle, chest, stomach, inner wings, and tail tip, while his fur is decorated with a number of rocket metallic rosettes of various sizes, the largest ones ringed in black, and he has more rocket metallic markings on his face and wings; the outer half of his ears are also tipped in rocket metallic and outlined in black. His hair, which is messy and has some bands in it, is black coral in color, and his eyes are rose vale in color. He also has a fairly short, black coral-colored beard that has a band in it as well.
image:marbas stats.png|500px|center Marbas' lean stature betrays the ferocious power he holds within. He is every bit the apex predator, blessed with formidable physical strength, speed, and the ability to fly, as well as having highly refined senses; his sight and hearing are particularly keen. Marbas is capable of deadlifting roughly 3000 lbs. over his head, running at speeds of up to 100 mph., and flying even faster than that. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Ginetta Cars’ Charlie Robertson and Tom Hibbert won an eventful first race of the weekend at Brands Hatch, overcoming three Safety Car periods for a victory in their debut race.
The No. 100 Ginetta G55 GT4 started from pole and Hibbert held onto the lead until the pit window opened.
He and the second-placed Ekris M4 GT4 of Max Koebolt came in at the same time, still close to each other as a result of a safety car period.
When all teams had completed their mandatory stops, Hibbert’s co-driver Robertson had reclaimed the lead, still being chased by the No. 8 Ekris Motorsport Ekris M4 GT4 now driven by Ricardo van der Ende.
Two more Safety Cars made it impossible for Robertson to pull away from van der Ende and in the end the No. 100 Ginetta G55 GT4 had a 1.213-second lead over the No. 8 Ekris M4 GT4.
Equipe Verschuur drivers Matty Graham and Csaba Mor crossed the line in third place, but the No. 10 McLaren 570S GT4 was given a penalty for overtaking under the safety car.
The resulting 20-second time penalty dropped the car down the order and promoted the Tolman Motorsport McLaren of David Pattison and Joe Osborne to third place. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Innovative Ways to Capitalize on Sports Tourism
Sports tourism refers to people traveling and vacationing to destinations specifically for sports, whether that be playing it or following a team for a major event. Being prepared to capitalize on a potential influx of customers, clients or fans is essential, and at the Sports Facilities Advisory, we have the experience to offer you guidance.
The Benefits of Sports Tourism
Making the most of sports tourism comes with a list of benefits, whether you own or are planning to open a sports facility. Perhaps the most obvious one is financial. Being able to capture a whole new market, even if only a temporary one, can lead to a significant increase in profit.
Though the short-term financial benefit is certainly desirable, it also has the potential to foster more long-term use of your facility within the community. Increasing the popularity of a sport or leisure activity in the area you serve not only appeals to those traveling there to enjoy it, but it is also a prime opportunity to target local enthusiasts who were previously unaware of you and turn them into regular users.
On a wider scale, keeping up with new trends in sports tourism and creating an increase in new visitors also brings the potential for greater general tourism for the area. Outside of growing your own operation, tourism is a key element of supporting and revitalizing a community.
Know Your Sports and Seasons
If you are looking to make the most of sports tourism, you need to know sporting seasons, as well as how they affect the general popularity of a given sport. Although this offers a steady way to stay on top of trends, you should also be aware of new and upcoming popular sports and hobbies, where they are appearing, where they are gathering the most momentum and how you can make use of them.
This can go beyond simply putting more emphasis on football during football season, or basketball during basketball season, and so on. Instead, a good idea is to watch global events, as well as events in your own country. For example, while holding football games or events during U.S. football season is a safe bet in terms of increasing your numbers, putting a bigger emphasis on soccer during the World Cup – wherever it is being held at the time – could also lead to a similar increase.
Know Your Tourists
Anyone running a service knows how important it is to know their customers. If you own or run a fitness center, you need to know your users. If you own or run a sporting venue, you need to know the fans. Knowing what people like, love and expect is a vital part of providing a service and creating loyalty.
People who take part in sports tourism share similar characteristics with many fanbases and hobbyists. Die-hard fans of a particular sport will travel far and wide, sometimes even across the globe, to see their team or athlete. Making the facility user-friendly enhances an already exciting experience, cementing your location as part of the memory.
Make sure that you can cater for every aspect of whatever that sport or activity is be prepared for as many requests as you can research, and make sure you and your staff are knowledgeable and able to help.

Pakistan vs. India often hailed as the “mother of all battles,” saw India, led by MS Dhoni, and Pakistan, under the captaincy of Shahid Afridi, battling it out for a spot in the final. The air was thick with anticipation, and the stakes were as high as ever.
Pakistan vs. India
The ICC World Cup 2011 semifinal clash, Pakistan vs. India will forever be imprinted in history. It represents much more than just a game. Held on March 30, 2011, at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali, this match wasn’t merely a contest, it was an event that captured the imagination of millions around the globe.
Electing to bat first after winning the toss, India found itself under immense pressure from the get-go, given the high stakes. The Indian batting lineup, a blend of experienced maestros and vibrant young talents, faced a formidable Pakistani bowling attack. Sachin Tendulkar, the Little Master, despite not being at his fluent best, scrapped his way to 85 invaluable runs. His innings were laced with luck but it was Pakistan vs. India. He was dropped four times by the Pakistani fielders, each miss adding to the drama of the occasion.
A combined effort
Support came in bits and pieces from other batsmen, with Suresh Raina’s cameo of 36 runs towards the end being particularly crucial, propelling India to a competitive total of 260 for 9. Pakistan’s Wahab Riaz emerged as the standout bowler, his fiery spell fetching impressive figures of 5 for 46.
In response, Pakistan started their innings with a mix of caution and aggression. However, the Indian bowlers, spearheaded by Ashish Nehra and Yuvraj Singh, who both took key wickets at crucial times, kept the pressure mounting. Despite Misbah-ul-Haq’s fighting innings of 56 runs, Pakistan was all out for 231, handing India a victory by 29 runs and paving their way to the final against Sri Lanka in Mumbai, where they eventually lifted the World Cup.
Yuvraj Singh and Ashish Nehra were pivotal with the ball, each taking crucial wickets that tilted the game in India’s favor. Pakistan’s chase was eventually derailed as they were bundled out for 231, falling 29 runs short of the target. The Pakistan vs. India semifinal eventually became a one-sided encounter.
The victory not only secured India’s place in the final against Sri Lanka but also highlighted cricket’s incredible power to bridge divides. The match, viewed by countless fans worldwide, went beyond a mere sporting contest to symbolize hope, friendship, and the unifying spirit of cricket.
Ultimately, the Pakistan vs. India semifinal was a testament to the fierce competition and mutual respect between the two teams. It showcased the game’s ability to foster connections, making it a memorable event celebrated by cricket aficionados everywhere.
The Pakistan vs. India match was not just a victory for India but a celebration of cricket’s power to bring people together, transcending borders and political tensions. The camaraderie between the players, the respect shown by the fans, and the shared passion for the game highlighted the sportsmanship and the spirit of cricket.

The premiers league is schedule on March 31st at 6pm. Licerpool will face Brighton. When Wataru Endo first joined Belgian club Sint-Truiden in 2018, his new teammates were unsure of what to expect. He had not played in Japan’s matches during that summer’s World Cup, and he struggled with English, making communication challenging.
Coach Issame Charai
Assistant coach Issame Charai remembers those initial hurdles. “He was very shy and struggled with English, so communication was tough,” he shared with Sky Sports. To help Endo understand, they often used images to convey what was expected of him.
However, Endo managed to impress his teammates in an unexpected setting—an escape room. This activity, meant to strengthen team bonds, involved solving puzzles to escape a locked room.
Charai explained, “We could watch the players through cameras, and it was Endo who solved many puzzles by himself. His intelligence shone through, not just in football, but in problem-solving too. This earned him significant respect among his teammates.”
Victory Over Brentford
Now, years later, Endo has made a substantial impact at Liverpool, praised by manager Jurgen Klopp after a 3-0 victory over Brentford. Despite joining Liverpool later in the window at 31 and not being the high-profile signing fans were hoping for, Endo has quickly become a beloved figure.
World Class Player
Jurgen Klopp lauded him, saying, “We knew he was a good player, but to become world-class as he has is something you cannot always predict.”
Endo’s journey from a player who just avoided relegation with Stuttgart to a key player for Liverpool, chasing major titles. This shows his remarkable development. His addition has proven crucial, especially following the departures of key midfielders from Liverpool, helping the team to win.
Mario Gomez an admirer of Endo
Mario Gomez, a legend from Stuttgart, had always spoken highly of Endo.He emphasized his importance in the team dynamics and his relentless work ethic. This sentiment is echoed by Endo’s current teammates and manager at Liverpool. He admire his omnipresence on the field and exceptional defensive skills.
Premiers League Liverpool Vs Brightoon
His addition has proven crucial, especially following the departures of key midfielders from Liverpool. He helped the team to win the Carabao Cup and aim for further success. Let’s see he will play in Premiers league on 31st March against Brigtoon or not. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It’s common to feel from time to time that you’ve lost your creative spunk, your muse has deserted you and all you mojo has withered away.
This feeling is as common as art itself.
You would feel that there’s nothing truly artistic coming from within you.
But does art ever come from within someone?
Perhaps that’s an egocentric way of looking at the process of creation.
And once we start to identify the art we create with our ego, it is easier to succumb to pitfalls of vanity or diffidence, as far on the spectrum of confidence they might be.
There’s another way of looking at the process of creation.
Maybe the art comes through you, and not from within you.
Maybe you are not a source, but a channel.
Maybe you are just a conducting wire that completes the circuit of creation,
And the art flows as a current through you, illuminating the world each time an idea materialises.
In such a case, you are just responsible of having a clear channel, with no distortion, resistance or roadblocks.
And the art will flow through you.
And you will be able to create without attachment, emancipated from the self worth you derive from the art you create.
You’re neither the battery nor the lightbulb.
You’re just the wire that connects the two.
Once you accept the vastness of field of creative energy, and humble yourself to be nothing but a channel for the creative spirit, art will shine through.
In the end of the day, what’s more important?
To be an artist?
Or to make art?
Let’s strive to be a good channel in the circuit of creation, beyond our ego.
For once we let the muse breathe through us,
Wouldn’t each living moment undeniably be art? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A Few Unseemly Options for Male Enhancement
Ads for increasing the length and size of the penis flood the internet. Few of us have to be told that most if not all are illegitimate. These products and procedures can cause unseemly side effects, while hardly any gain in size or girth is achieved. For instance, researchers at the University of Turin in Italy investigated male enhancement procedures in two studies. The first contained 121 male subjects, the second 109.
These scientists concluded that the vast majority of procedures were too dangerous and risked serious complications. Moreover, for most men seeking these surgeries or devices, the problem is not in their pants but in their head. One 2005 study with 92 male participants found that although each went to a physician for enhancement, none actually had a small penis. The majority of men are average in size according to a recent British study. Small is considered 3 in. (7.6 cm) when erect. Anything above that is normal. Media focus on size, societal pressure to be above average in everything, mistaken impressions from porn, and general male confusion over what the average size looks like fuel this phenomenon. Still, Italian researchers did come across a few options that had positive results.
One was the “traction method.” Here a penis stretcher was attached to the member each day. The penis was then put in traction for four to six hours over the course of four months. The end result was a gain of 0.67 in. (1.7 cm) when erect. In one small study, penoscrotal rings were utilized. These squeeze the scrotum and base of the penis, increasing size and helping a man to maintain an erection. Another option was using a penis pump daily. This is a vacuum tube which is placed over the penis. A hand pump creates suction, engorging the penis with blood. Healthy men found this option to be painful and the gain less than significant. There are certain procedures in the works such as injectable enlargement products. But these have some time before they hit the market.
Any man truly dissatisfied with his size should discuss the matter with a doctor or urologist, get some perspective, and see what his options truly are. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Thinfilm, PARC Win Award for Printed Addressable Memory
Thin Film Electronics ASA and PARC, a Xerox company, won the FlexTech Alliance Innovation Award for the world's first working prototype of a printed, non-volatile memory device addressed with complementary organic circuits, the equivalent of CMOS circuitry. The device consists of Thinfilm's printed memory and PARC's transistors, and when combined with other electronic components, such as temperature sensors, displays, power sources, and antennas, can enable the "Internet of Things", where everything is connected by a smart tag. The two companies first demonstrated the prototype in October of last year.
PARC notes that the market for flexible, printed, and organic large-area electronics is rapidly growing. Currently estimated at over $1B, the global market is expected to increase to a $45B market by 2016. The majority of this market growth will come from new markets enabled or disrupted by the use of flexible substrates, from opportunities enabled by low-cost printing of full-feature electronics, and from electronic devices integrated into novel systems or form factors.
"Addressable memory is a key building block for printed electronics and is an important step in creating a new world of integrated, smart devices. We are pleased to see FlexTech Alliance recognize its importance and innovation in driving the printed electronics market forward," said Ross Bringans, Vice President, PARC Electronic Materials and Devices Laboratory.
Thinfilm devices are thinner than traditional silicon devices and can be produced in form factors as slim as a strand of hair. |
PARC's transistor technology using complementary pairs of n-type and p-type transistors to construct the circuits. The addition of the integrated circuits makes the roll-to-roll printed Thinfilm Memory addressable by printable logic.
Using printing to manufacture electronics minimizes the number of process steps, which in turn, dramatically reduces manufacturing costs and lowers the environmental impact compared to traditional semiconductor processes.
Janos Veres, area manager for printed electronics in the electronic materials and devices laboratory at PARC, described printed electronics as a relatively new field, with the "early years" being only 10-12 years ago. The focus is on materials that can be formulated as inks and deposited over large areas. This is quite useful for applications such as flexible displays, which was the original focus of the work, and more recently on smart cards and printed tags. Recent progress has printed electronic transistors inching closer to those produced in polysilicon.
"We never believed that they might one day compete with amorphous silicon," Veres notes. "That's happened and probably 4-5 years ago, we saw that barrier broken. That means we can now take organic materials and achieve the same kind of performance that you see in displays. That progress is carrying on and at the lab level, you can build devices that are now performing better than what amorphous silicon offers. The progress will not stop there. We might see a significant improvement in mobilities at which point devices we build might be competing with polysilicon."
This kind of progress could disrupt conventional microelectronics manufacturing. "A factory might look very different than the conventional microelectronics factory. It might look more like a printing press," he said. ???P.S.

Racing to the Reading Center at Sudie L. Williams Elementary School, my energetic student stops suddenly in his tracks, turns around abruptly, and waves for me to hasten my pace. When I finally catch up to the full-of-life second grader, he looks at me knowingly and says, “I will always be able to run faster than you, Ms. Kelsey.” Jokingly, I place my hands on my knees and take deep, long breaths. “You are probably right,” I manage a reply, “but you can never be sure.” He seems to consider this for a moment, but then stands up straighter with an inner resolve of confidence. “My shoes,” he says while he points at his blue and red sneakers with Velcro straps “are the fastest shoes in the whole, wide world!” He speeds off again with his arms swinging and I can almost believe they really are the fastest shoes ever made.
When I finally reach him at the door of the Reading Center, I tell him to catch his breath before we begin our 45-minute tutoring session. When he insists, despite his best intentions, that his shoes simply will not stay still, I suggest he slip them off under the desk so that he can concentrate on reading with me. For the next 45 minutes, we read his favorite story about sea creatures, recite vocabulary words, spell them aloud, and use them to make new sentences on a wipe-off board. At the end of the session, his speedy shoes go back on his feet and it is off to class once more. It would appear nothing could slow him down – apart from one thing. He is in second grade, but he reads at a kindergarten level, essentially two grade levels below his peers and classmates. Anthony, as we will call him, was one of 500 students enrolled in the Reading Partners program in Dallas during the 2012-13 academic year. Twice a week, he met with a volunteer tutor for 45 minutes to help accelerate his literacy skills.
Reading Partners has proven to dramatically improve reading skills for struggling, young readers. For every month with the program’s structured curriculum, students on average gain 1.6 months of reading skills. In Dallas, Texas, 457 volunteers provided 9,640 hours of literacy tutoring to Dallas Independent School District elementary school students over the course of the 2012-13 academic year. As a result of our community members’ dedication and support, 90% of our students accelerated their rate of learning and 77% of our students ended the year closer to grade level in Dallas.
For Anthony, not only did his literacy skills improve over the course of the year, but his teacher indicated a marked change in his behavior and participation in class. The principal at his school voiced, “The most important benefit is the level of support and preparation that [Reading Partners] offers. They are able to coordinate the student needs and community availability really well.” Reading Partners works to equip the community to serve at local elementary schools by pairing students with volunteer tutors — like you — to provide individualized literacy instruction. By supporting Reading Partners, you can make a lasting, positive impact and help students in your community experience the joy and power of reading.
On September 19, Reading Partners will join more than 1,000 other North Texas nonprofit organizations for North Texas Giving Day hosted by Communities Foundation of Texas. By participating in North Texas Giving Day, Reading Partners Dallas seeks to increase visibility and awareness of our organization throughout the Dallas community. It only takes $1,000 in private philanthropy to sponsor one student’s experience this school year! Help your dollar go far and support a student – like Anthony – on September 19.
Reading is a gateway skill, which means, with a strong foundation in reading, Anthony will succeed in other subjects like writing, math, social studies, or his particular favorite, marine biology. We often talk about what he would like to be when he grows up and with the literacy skills he is obtaining through the Reading Partners program, I’m eager to see him grow to dive the deepest sea and climb the highest mountain. Help us support students like Anthony and “Get up and Give” on September 19. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Leviticus 23:9-14 meaning
God admonishes the people that when you enter the land which I am going to give to you and reap its harvest, to give offerings from the first fruits (i.e. best) of the harvest. The specific crop they were harvesting in the spring would be barley. The statement, "When you enter the land" indicates this only applies to crops harvested in the land of Israel. The fact that the priest was waving the offering before the LORD indicated the tabernacle (or later the temple) was in operation.
Next it is commanded that he (the priest) shall wave the sheaf before the LORD for you to be accepted. This is called a wave offering. The priest would elevate the sheaf of grain up and down in a vertical motion, then side-to-side in a horizontal motion. It has been noted that this motion creates a shape of a cross. A sheaf ("Omer" in Hebrew) is a bundle of barley or wheat that was usually bound with a rope in the middle.
In addition to the wave offering was the first fruits offering. The first fruits was the first part of the bounty of the harvest. Each Israelite was to also bring a male lamb one year old without defect, a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, and also a drink offering, a fourth of a hin of wine (about 1.4 liters). An ephah, a dry measurement, was a little over a bushel and weighed approximately 40 pounds. So, two-tenths of an ephah would have been about eight pounds of fine flour. All these were to be given as offerings of the first fruits of the harvest. The wave offering of the First Fruits always takes place on the day after the sabbath following Passover. In other words, on a Sunday. Jesus Christ resurrected on the Feast of First Fruits. Knowing this, the apostle Paul said:
"But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep."
(1 Corinthians 15:20)
This means that the Bible is teaching that there will be many others who will be resurrected as Jesus was (1 Corinthians 15:42).
Next God declares the following statute, until this same day, until you have brought in the offering of your God, you shall eat neither bread nor roasted grain nor new growth. Until God received the wave offering of the first fruits on the Feast of First Fruits, Israelites could not eat bread nor roasted grain nor new growth that had emerged since winter. This meant that the very first part of each harvest was to be dedicated to God. This teaches that we are to put God first in all aspects of our life. Paul was likely thinking of this principle when he instructed the church at Corinth to "put aside and save" some money for an offering to God "on the first day of every week" (1 Corinthians 16:2).
The feast of First Fruits is declared to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places. This means this appointed time was to continue for the entire age, and apply no matter where they dwelt. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Casa das Canoas
Casa das Canoas is one of the best examples of modern Brazilian architecture. Away from the center of Rio de Janeiro, the house is located to the south, in Canoas (Barra de Tijuca), on top of a mountain, and is surrounded by tropical vegetation and native plants.
The architectural work includes a large stone in the swimming pool. This stone element is also used in the house to connect the two floors, as the interior stairs are attached to the stone. Clearly, all the constructive elements that make up the Casa das Canoas have a sculptural presence, featuring the influence of Le Corbusier, the father of modern architecture.

Auto ancillaries’ revenues are expected to grow 8-10 per cent in 2022-23 on the back of a stable demand and likely easing of supply-chain concerns in the second half of the year, Icra said on Monday.
At the same time, the sector’s coverage metrics is also likely to remain comfortable in 2022-23, benefitting from healthy accruals and relatively low incremental debt funding requirements, the rating agency said in a release.
In last fiscal year, 31 auto component companies with cumulative revenues of over Rs 1,75,000 crore had registered a 23 per cent year-on-year growth in revenues, driven by domestic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), replacement, export volumes and pass-through of commodity prices.
Though the growth came on a relatively low base of FY21, the actual revenue expansion was better than Icra’s estimates, partly on account of better-than-expected exports and increase in realisations to pass on the impact of higher commodity inflation and freight costs, it said.
Icra’s estimation of operating margins for FY2022 had factored in operating leverage benefits. However, the unprecedented inflation in raw material costs and freight costs in H2 FY2022 (October-March )and inability to pass on the same completely and in a timely manner impacted the profit margins in previous fiscal year, according to the release.
Operating margins for the sample 31 auto component companies in FY2022 were the lowest in last five years, it added. Icra expects auto ancillaries’ revenues to grow by 8-10 per cent in FY2023, supported by stable demand as well as the expected easing of supply-chain related issues in H2 FY2023.
Over the long-term, premiumisation of vehicles, focus on localisation, improved exports potential and EV opportunities, resulting in higher content per vehicle, would translate to healthy growth for auto component suppliers, in our view, said Vinutaa S, Vice President and sector head at Icra.
According to her, auto ancillaries have displayed adequate liquidity position, especially across tier-I and tier-II players.
Icra expects the coverage metrics for this sector to remain comfortable going forward as well, aided by healthy accruals and relatively low incremental debt funding, she stated.
The estimated revenue growth for the sample in FY2022 was constrained by factors like semiconductor shortage issues, muted two-wheeler and tractor demand, and the impact of geopolitical developments on international business, she said.
However, the industry’s actual revenues were supported by healthy exports and better realisations. Icra’s sample of 30 companies (excluding a large auto component supplier) reported operating margins of 10.6 per cent for FY2022, 10 basis points lower on a Y-o-Y basis, and 40 basis points lower than projections, she added.
Uncertainties on the supply-chain front and cost inflation resulted in auto ancillaries stocking higher inventory, with inventory levels for the sample being the highest as of March 31, 2022, compared to the last four years.
Nevertheless, the working capital intensity remains comfortable, at sub 10 per cent levels, according to Icra. It highlighted that operating profits for the sample were higher in previous fiscal year when compared to FY2020 and FY2021, aided by healthy revenues, despite a marginal dip in operating margins.
Icra said while debt levels increased with rise in working capital intensity, the improvement in operating profits resulted in comfortable debt coverage indicators for the industry. It also said the capex spend of the auto ancillary sample for FY2022 as a proportion of their operating income was 5.9 per cent, lower than the pre-COVID levels of over 7.5 per cent, which was in line with Icra’s estimates.
The incremental investments have been primarily towards capability development– new product additions, product development for committed platforms, and development of advanced technological and EV components– unlike investments towards capacity expansion witnessed in the past.
Going forward, the recently-announced PLI scheme will contribute to accelerating capex over the medium-term besides investments by new entrants in the EV segment, it said, adding, most auto ancillaries rated by Icra are in investment grade, reflecting a healthy credit profile. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Story Genius: How to Use Brain Science to Go Beyond Outlining and Write a Riveting Novel (Before You Waste Three Years Writing 327 Pages That Go Nowhere) by Lisa Cron
- Unit price
Quantity selected exceeds current stock
It’s every novelist’s greatest fear: pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into writing hundreds of pages only to realize that their story has no sense of urgency, no internal logic, and so is a page one rewrite.
The prevailing wisdom in the writing community is that there are just two ways around this problem: pantsing (winging it) and plotting (focusing on the external plot). Story coach Lisa Cron has spent her career discovering why these methods don’t work and coming up with a powerful alternative, based on the science behind what our brains are wired to crave in every story we read (and it’s not what you think).
In Story Genius Cron takes you, step-by-step, through the creation of a novel from the first glimmer of an idea, to a complete multilayered blueprint—including fully realized scenes—that evolves into a first draft with the authority, richness, and command of a riveting sixth or seventh draft.

The GA1E body is made from a combination of solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, a perfect balance of tonewoods that has been used by many throughout the history of acoustic guitars. With dimensions of 4 5/8″(117mm) body depth, upper bout width at 11 1/2″(292mm) and lower bout width at 16″(405mm), the Grand Regal?s body size is perfectly in between the large Dreadnought and the more intimate Grand Concert. This makes the Grand Regal ideal for both strumming/flatpicking and fingerstyle playing and suits the versatile acoustic player who prefers to have one guitar to cover a variety of sounds and playing styles. Includes a 3-band EQ for tonal flexibility and a built-in LED tuner for convenience. This high-value EQ system delivers a rich midrange with clear transparent highs. Its 1 3//4?(45mm) nut width allows a wider string spacing which is preferred by many fingerstyle players. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A Water Commons in Chile's Neoliberal Desert: Water Governance, Lithium Mining and Identity Formation in San Pedro de Atacama
Show full item recordSummary
An oasis village in the world’s driest desert, San Pedro de Atacama’s customary system of
communitarian irrigation water governance – a highly unique instance of commoning in neoliberal Chile – is a socio-culturally rooted institution that dates back multiple thousands of years. Today however, with the start of the global green energy transition and the subsequent boom of lithium extraction in the Atacama, the water institution is facing entirely new socio-environmental threats to its existence. Under the rationale of corporate social responsibility, and in the neoliberal context of state absence in terms of socio-environmental regulations, lithium company Albemarle engages with local Indigenous communities through an economic benefit-sharing agreement. The controversial, identity-criteriafocused model of resource distribution by which the agreement functions deepens and further problematizes existing social identity boundaries within the San Pedro society. The result is a situation
of widespread internal conflict, marked by growing tensions within and among the Indigenous communities as well as between the communities and non-Indigenous identity groups. The implications for the overarching institution of communitarian water governance are detrimental. Induced by mounting disunity and enabled by the sudden influx of Albemarle’s lithium money, Indigenous communities increasingly assert their territorial autonomy by appropriating what they have come to see as ‘their’ part of the San Pedro River and ‘their’ share of its water. The result is a general de-collectivization of organization and hence the disruption of communitarian water governance. Indeed, San Pedro’s current
– lithium-money-induced – socio-territorial disintegration implies the gradual un-commoning of its historical water commons. All in all, this research maps the political ecology of water, mining and identity in San Pedro de Atacama, tracking the linkages between a company-community benefit-sharing agreement, the subsequent instigation of socially disruptive processes of identity (re)formation and the resultant disruption of San Pedro de Atacama’s institution of communitarian water governance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A Business Reply Envelope (BRE) offers businesses a streamlined and cost-effective way to receive mail from customers without requiring them to pay for postage. These envelopes are often used for collecting payments, feedback, signed contracts, or other forms of correspondence that need to be returned. BREs are a simple yet powerful tool for businesses that want to enhance communication and improve their mail response times.
One of the main reasons businesses use a Business Reply Envelope is that it removes the need for the recipient to worry about postage. By providing prepaid postage, the business ensures that customers or clients can easily return the mail without any additional cost. This convenience encourages recipients to act promptly, improving response times and ensuring businesses receive important documents or payments without delay.
Another advantage of using a BRE is that it fosters better customer engagement. When businesses offer an easy way for customers to respond, they show their commitment to providing convenience. Whether the return is for a payment, feedback, or a signed agreement, a BRE simplifies the process and makes it more likely that customers will follow through with the action. This not only improves response rates but also enhances customer satisfaction and loyalty.
For businesses, a Business Reply Envelope also helps manage and track incoming mail efficiently. By using a BRE, businesses can organize returned materials more easily, avoiding lost documents or payments. In some cases, BREs come with tracking systems, which allow businesses to gather data on customer behavior, including how quickly they return correspondence and how often they respond to requests. This insight can help improve future communication strategies and identify potential issues early on.
Additionally, a well-designed BRE contributes to a business’s professionalism and brand image. The envelope serves as a small but impactful branding opportunity. By featuring the company’s logo and return address, the business reinforces its identity and creates a cohesive, professional image. Providing a convenient tool like the BRE shows that the business values its customers’ time and wants to make communication as smooth as possible.
To maximize the effectiveness of a Business Reply Envelope, companies should ensure it is designed with clarity and precision. This includes placing a visible return address, ensuring the postage-paid area is easy to find, and providing any necessary instructions for the recipient. The envelope must also be sturdy enough to survive the mailing process, ensuring the safe return of important documents or payments.
For businesses with large volumes of mail, managing BREs requires an efficient sorting and processing system. High-response businesses should invest in automated systems that help track BREs, as well as staff dedicated to processing returned envelopes swiftly. This ensures quick action on returned responses, reducing delays and enhancing operational efficiency.
In conclusion, a Business Reply Envelope provides businesses and customers with a win-win solution. It simplifies the return process, improves communication, and enhances customer engagement. A well-designed BRE not only boosts response rates but also reinforces a business’s commitment to customer service, creating a more loyal customer base. Whether used for payments, surveys, or other forms of communication, the BRE remains a vital tool for businesses seeking to enhance interactions and streamline operations. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I did some more investigating. I think it is an issue with the olympus *.ORF RAW file format. When I convert the file to DNG the problem disappears. So the workaround is to convert to DNG files, which is pretty easy using Adobe’s converter.

Blue, a sweet, nearly blind 12-year-old Fox Terrier, was found wandering the streets in Mount Pritchard. Not microchipped, Blue was brought straight into our care by a Ranger from Fairfield City Council.
Looking like a decrepit old man, it was evident when he walked there was something wrong. It only took a quick assessment by our dedicated vet team to discover that one of his testicles was abnormally engorged.
Blue, was then rushed straight into emergency surgery as the mass was swollen, descended and painful to the touch. The team was concerned that it may have been a tumour, a twisted testicle or a scrotal hernia.
Once Blue was prepped for surgery, X-rays revealed no evidence of the mass encroaching on his abdomen so a scrotal hernia was ruled out. Explorative surgery confirmed it was an enlarged testicle that was 5x its normal size. Both testes were then removed.
While under anaesthetic, Blue received a much-needed dental and bloods were taken to check for any other underlining health concerns.
Once out of surgery, Blue was put on pain relief and anti-inflammatories and placed into a loving foster care home to recover. The results from Blue’s blood test indicates that he is at the early stages of kidney disease.
Thankfully showing no clinical symptoms, Blue is now ready to find his perfect retirement home where he can enjoy his twilight years. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

All businesses need money. That goes without saying. The money that businesses need, however, far exceeds the profits they make from sales. Naturally, new businesses need start-up money while companies that have been operational for a while need a cash flow to be able to keep things going. Paying employees, making repairs and buying replacements as well as physical store and website maintenance are only three business tasks that require money.
So how important is it to secure extra funding for your business? In a word: very! As Eric Feigenbaum puts it on Chron.com, “it takes money to make money, so the proverbial saying goes. Businesses have to consider their finances for so many purposes, ranging from survival in bad times to bolstering the next success in good ones. How you finance your business can affect your ability to employ staff, purchase goods, acquire licenses, expand and develop.”
It should be highlighted that “bad times” are imminent. That is not to say that all business owners are bound to encounter failures within their respective industries. Instead, it’s wise to acknowledge that anything can happen at any time. Even bad weather (the winter is, after all, coming up in a few months!) can significantly impact the sales of businesses all over Canada. Preparing for the worst is an important part of keeping a company afloat.
When a business owner has secured extra funding, he/she has given the business a fighting hope. “No matter how well your business is doing, you have to prepare for rainy days and even storms,” says Feigenbaum, “Business and economic cycles bring dark clouds you can’t predict. That’s why smart businesses create financial plans for downturns.”
How can extra funding help for a business to grow? There are a variety of ways that business owners can help their enterprises to grow. They include renovations, expansion, buying new inventory or equipment and advertising, just to name a few ideas. Of course, money is required to implement any of these suggestions. Feigenbaum notes that, without extra working capital, plans for growth cannot usually be carried out.
“Sometimes to take on more business and attain greater success, a company needs significant financial investment to acquire new capital, staff or inventory,” he writes, “When business managers hit this juncture, they have to wade through their financial options, which may involve infusions of equity capitals — perhaps from venture capitalists. Every situation is different, but smart managers consider the cost of success and their options for obtaining growth financing.”
How important is payroll to a company’s success? Your employees are the lifeblood of your business. Literally. They are the living, breathing human beings who without, your business could not function. Your employees are living on the front lines, making direct contact with the members of your customer base. Keeping your employees happy is integral to keeping your customers happy. And happy customers are mandatory if you want to consider your business a success.
Therefore, it should go without saying that you need to ensure that your employees are always getting paid – both the correct amounts, and on time! “Nothing spells imminent death like a company being unable to make payroll,” insists Feigenbaum, “Even the most dedicated staff won’t stick around long once the paychecks stop. The larger an organization gets, the larger the labor costs. Above all, companies have to ensure they have enough cash on hand to make payroll for at least two payroll cycles ahead — if not more.”
At Synergy Merchants, we ensure that all of our clients receive the extra working capital they need to ensure the future and ongoing success of their businesses. For more information on our merchant cash advance program or to speak with one of our licensed funding specialists to get a free, no obligation quote, simply call Synergy Merchants at 1-877-718-2026 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.org. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Did you know that your circadian rhythm – also known as your body clock – has much to do with your health? When your circadian rhythm is in sync, you tend to feel more energetic and alert. However, when it’s out of whack, you can experience problems such as fatigue and insomnia, though you’ve already consumed some weight loss shakes and health supplements. Now, why don’t you allow us to explain more about it to you? We’ll also discuss the health benefits of having an ideal circadian rhythm. Let’s get started.
Improves Sleep Quality
One of the most apparent benefits of having a regular circadian rhythm is that it helps improve sleep quality. When our body clock is in sync, we feel more tired at night and can fall asleep more easily. We also tend to sleep more soundly throughout the night, which means we wake up feeling refreshed and well-rested in the morning. On the other hand, when our circadian rhythm is off, we may find it more difficult to fall asleep at night. We may also wake up several times throughout the night, which can leave us exhausted in the morning.
Stabilizes All Hormones Levels
Another benefit of having a regular circadian rhythm is that it helps to stabilize all hormones. Hormones play a vital role in our body, and when they’re out of balance, they can lead to serious health problems. For example, the hormone cortisol’s imbalanced levels can cause anxiety, depression, and weight gain. However, when our circadian rhythm is in sync, our hormone levels are more stable, which can help prevent these health problems.
Boosts Energy Levels and Productivity
Did you know that a study conducted by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that people who have a regular sleep schedule are more productive and have more energy during the day? It is because our bodies can function at their best when we’re well-rested. On the other hand, when we’re tired, our bodies are more sluggish and less able to focus. As a result, we may find it more challenging to get things done.… | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If you have a stable communication and have a local SIM choice, we recommend that you consider a local SIM. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Really there are no mistakes when it comes to loving people. I am a little dumbfounded right now. I recently had a conversation with a friend and they just had a nasty breakup with their significant other. They said “I wasted so much time loving this person” and this song (which they introduced me to the artist) immediately played in my head:
Are there really No Mistakes?
Why is it that when a relationship goes away there has to be blame and regret for loving someone? I sit back and ponder this out loud because for so long I have felt that way about one or another person that I loved. Reality is they were just a blip in my history. Good. Bad. Indifferent. I regretted loving them, but had I not done so I would not be where I am today. The love that I shared, the experiences I had with them are preparing me for what I asked for in the first place.
The reality is that each one has taught me something about myself. That time spent is not a waste. You loved. Love is so important in this world. We all need more of it. Not just the romantic kind, but love in general.
The only mistake is to not love
Our fear stops love from happening. Too often we let fear of loss stop us, forgetting that we are here to learn. Part of that learning is to love without fear. That can be a tall order after some of the hurts we have experienced. But that is the point, we need to have those hurts and love after being so hurt.
Loving someone means we find a way to be fearless. That is a beautiful thing – to watch someone who has been so broken find a way to love. When we are fearless we take chances, we grow and expand ourselves. We make this world a little brighter, a little kinder and really — isn’t that why we are here — To love and be loved?
Just my pondering today… | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Whew! I’m a little late today on getting this posted, this past weekend was crazy awesome with 3 events all with Two Be Wed, but a 12 hour night of sleep does a body good!
Today we are chatting about problem solving, how we make things happen more efficiently through working together to figure out a better solution, and through being kind to each other when we disagree about said better solution.
Newsflash! Kason and I are different people, just as I am guessing you and your significant other are too, but God brought us together for His plan so it’s up to us to work on problem-solving techniques so we can continue on with marital bliss when problems do inevitably arise.
I used to be adamant about “knowing best”, I knew my way was the best way regardless of what it was so when Kason didn’t always agree it drove me crazy. However, through studying in the Word and learning so much through BSF (Bible Study Fellowship- an international year long Bible study!) I have (thankfully!) since changed my attitude about certain situations and know that K will have a much better solution, or we work together by figuring it out.
I now make a point to ask him how he wants to do something. This could be anything like ways for saving money each month or how to pack the trailer with inventory for weddings, I try really hard for decisions to be a collaboration between the two of us.
A great recent example of our problem solving was a recent wedding we had in Round Top where K hung tons and tons of eucalyptus around track lighting. I initially was going to have him hand wire all of it sideways along the tracking, but as soon as he started he got the idea to make bundles (which we called teepees!) of eucalyptus with zip ties and separate the pieces to then to sit them on top of the track lighting for them hang down below. K’s way made for a much more visually pleasing use of the eucalyptus.
Moral of the story: K’s way = about 2-3 hours of time… My way = most likely all day and then some. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Danielle Bradbery Knows Blake Shelton Is Milking His ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ Title
During an interview with Taste of Country Nights, Bradbery admits that she finds it amusing that her former coach on The Voice scored the significant honor, which places Shelton amongst the likes of Matt Damon, George Clooney and fellow The Voice coach Adam Levine.
"I think it's funny," she says with a laugh. "Because knowing Blake, he's just milking the heck out of this because he's like, 'Oh I get to be called sexy and Sexiest Man Alive, okay, I'll put it in your face.' I can't wait to see how he reacts to Adam Levine about it because I know they're going to go back and forth."
Don't Forget These Other Sexy Country Men!
The young singer got to know both judges during her tenure on The Voice and was crowned the winner as a member of Shelton's team in 2013. Knowing how hilarious the country star is, Bradbery says he's deserving of the honor, but admits she wasn't surprised when she read his quip about the publication "running out of people" to select for the title. "I was like, 'Of course you'd say that,'" she chuckles.
Bradbery's latest album, I Don't Believe We've Met, dropped on Dec. 1 and debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. She tells Taste of Country that the album is a reflection of her growth as both an artist and person since the release of her debut album.
"I kind of had to tell myself, 'Okay, if you want to be this honest and real, you can't be afraid of doing it, you have to be confident about it.' It's been nerve-wracking, it's been every emotion, but it's been really cool to see the transition and know that this is what the second album is supposed to be and the reintroduction of myself," she says.

Dolly Parton Signs New Deal With NBC
Dolly Parton has signed a new development deal with NBC.
Under the terms of the agreement, NBC will develop several two-hour television movies based on Parton's songs, stories and life. They will produce the films in conjunction with Sam Haskell of Magnolia Hill Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television.
"I am so excited to be involved with my friend Bob Greenblatt, who produced the Broadway version of '9 to 5: The Musical' with me, and my longtime friend and former agent Sam Haskell," Parton says in a press release. "We want to create projects for NBC that are both fun and inspirational with a family audience in mind."
NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt is excited about the new deal.
"I don't know anyone in the world who doesn't love Dolly Parton, and the idea of developing television movies inspired by her incredible life and the stories she has sung about for decades is exciting to all of us at NBC," he states. "I hope we will create some uplifting movies that the entire family can enjoy together, a genre of programming that still seems largely untapped on television."
"We all feel so lucky to be in business with Dolly," adds NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke. "We're so excited about working with her to infuse these movies with her incredible work ethic and that genuine hopefulness and positive outlook that has been her trademark for years. And you can bet there will be a lot of her music in them too."

September 10 - Report Tips to Employer
If you are an employee who works for tips and received more than $20 in tips during August, you are required to report them to your employer on IRS Form 4070 no later than September 10. Your employer is required to withhold FICA taxes and income tax withholding for these tips from your regular wages. If your regular wages are insufficient to cover the FICA and tax withholding, the employer will report the amount of the uncollected withholding in box 12 of your W-2 for the year. You will be required to pay the uncollected withholding when your return for the year is filed.
September 15 - Estimated Tax Payment Due
The third installment of 2020 individual estimated taxes is due. Our tax system is a “pay-as-you-earn” system. To facilitate that concept, the government has provided several means of assisting taxpayers in meeting the “pay-as-you-earn” requirement. These include:
Payroll withholding for employees;
Pension withholding for retirees; and
Estimated tax payments for self-employed individuals and those with other sources of income not covered by withholding.
When a taxpayer fails to prepay a safe harbor (minimum) amount, they can be subject to the underpayment penalty. This penalty is equal to the federal short-term rate plus 3 percentage points, and the penalty is computed on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
Federal tax law does provide ways to avoid the underpayment penalty. If the underpayment is less than $1,000 (the de minimis amount), no penalty is assessed. In addition, the law provides "safe harbor" prepayments. There are two safe harbors:
The first safe harbor is based on the tax owed in the current year. If your payments equal or exceed 90% of what is owed in the current year, you can escape a penalty.
The second safe harbor is based on the tax owed in the immediately preceding tax year. This safe harbor is generally 100% of the prior year’s tax liability. However, for taxpayers whose AGI exceeds $150,000 ($75,000 for married taxpayers filing separately), the prior year’s safe harbor is 110%.
Example: Suppose your tax for the year is $10,000 and your prepayments total $5,600. The result is that you owe an additional $4,400 on your tax return. To find out if you owe a penalty, see if you meet the first safe harbor exception. Since 90% of $10,000 is $9,000, your prepayments fell short of the mark. You can't avoid the penalty under this exception.
However, in the above example, the safe harbor may still apply. Assume your prior year’s tax was $5,000. Since you prepaid $5,600, which is greater than 110% of the prior year’s tax (110% = $5,500), you qualify for this safe harbor and can escape the penalty.
This example underscores the importance of making sure your prepayments are adequate, especially if you have a large increase in income. This is common when there is a large gain from the sale of stocks, sale of property, when large bonuses are paid, when a taxpayer retires, etc. Timely payment of each required estimated tax installment is also a requirement to meet the safe harbor exception to the penalty. If you have questions regarding your safe harbor estimates, please call this office as soon as possible.
CAUTION: Some state de minimis amounts and safe harbor estimate rules are different than those for the Federal estimates. Please call this office for particular state safe harbor rules.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, NCC, LPCI strive to help my clients feel happy, healthy, and capable of managing life’s obstacles and transitions. Services offered in CT|MO|NJ|PA.
Just like any other group, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) community faces mental health issues and unique challenges. However, LGBTQ individuals are almost 3 times more likely than others to experience a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. Additionally, more than half of individuals who identify as transgender experience depression or anxiety. The LGBTQ community is also at a higher risk for suicide. Young people are even more at risk, as they may experience a lack of support at home and fear, hatred or prejudice in school. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community and are facing mental health challenges, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s LGBTQ experts and get help today.
Our clients often have some significant challenges to overcome - depression, anxiety, problems with romantic partners or family, life changes, or internal struggles. And any trauma or loss doesn’t help. While therapy can mean confronting difficult feelings, it can also be a space for curiosity, creativity, and self-discovery, which many of our clients have described as rewarding and, believe it or not, exciting and fun. We welcome children and teens, adults, couples, and families.
I tend to work with individuals exploring relationships. This might mean their relationship to themselves with feelings of depression, anxiety or self-critique, exploring the vastness of queerness, and making sense of dueling desires. It also can mean dissecting relationships of one's past or digging into current relationships (friends/romantic/queer-platonic). I do this in individual therapy as well as with partner(s). I work most often with teenagers and adults.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The voting technology company Smartmatic reached a settlement on Tuesday in its defamation lawsuit against One America News Network, a far-right broadcaster, over the amplification of election falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election.
The terms of the settlement were confidential and could not immediately be learned.
Smartmatic filed the lawsuit in 2021, accusing OAN of amplifying baseless claims that Smartmatic had been involved in rigging the presidential election through its voting machines.
A filing for a dismissal of the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be retried, was submitted by Smartmatic’s lawyers to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday.
Lawyers for Smartmatic and OAN did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Smartmatic also sued Fox News and Newsmax for defamation over their coverage of election conspiracy theories. Those cases are ongoing.
The Smartmatic settlement comes a year after Fox News agreed to pay $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems, another election technology company, to settle their defamation lawsuit over the broadcasting of similar conspiracy theories around the 2020 election.
Dominion has also sued OAN. That litigation remains underway and a trial date has not yet been set.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Toqua was an eighteenth-century Overhill Cherokee village located on the Little Tennessee River in present day Monroe County. Toqua means “place of a mythic great fish.” Toqua (site 40MR6) also designates a late Mississippian Dallas culture (ca. A.D. 1200-1600) village and two mounds at the same location. Henry Timberlake's 1762 map showed thirty-two domestic structures and a council house at the site. He also indicated that eighty-two warriors resided there, suggesting a total population of two hundred to three hundred people. American Revolutionary War forces destroyed the town in 1776 and 1780, and again in 1788 as hostilities continued after the war. Nevertheless in 1797, Duke Louis Phillipe of France observed ten houses at Toqua and wrote one of the most detailed descriptions ever made of a Cherokee council house. His brother's drawing of Toqua is the only known contemporary image of an eighteenth-century Cherokee town. In 1818 only thirty-five Cherokees lived in the town's thirteen dwellings.
In the 1970s, extensive archaeological excavations were conducted at Toqua prior to its inundation by the Tellico Dam Reservoir. The largest mound contained sixteen building stages, twelve of which had multiple structures built on their summits. The second mound, built in three stages, was used primarily for mortuary purposes. Village excavations revealed a plaza, three palisades, fifty-seven domestic structures, and numerous refuse-filled pits and burials. Excavations of the eighteenth-century Cherokee occupation recorded two townhouses, ten dwellings, and a smaller number of refuse-filled pits and burials. The Toqua research contributed greatly to the description and interpretation of Mississippian Period sociopolitical organization and to the understanding of Cherokee culture and culture change.

On the surface “nice culture”, in which everyone is agreeable and pleasant all the time, sounds like an amazing workplace culture and something to aim for. However, “nice culture” creates problematic workplace dynamics. Dr Brene Brown explains that avoiding tough conversations has adverse effects in the workplace such as diminished trust and engagement, increased problematic behaviour such as passive-aggressive behaviour, talking behind people’s backs, pervasive backchannel communication (or “the meeting after the meeting”), gossip, and the “dirty yes” (when I say yes to your face and then go behind your back), and decreased performance due to a lack of clarity and shared purpose. While clear communication offers a better alternative, there are many associated challenges. Fear of damaging relationships or losing collegial support, can cause abandonment of clear communication. Avoidance becomes the easy way out and important conversations with the potential to solve issues never occur.
Imagine a workplace that encourages risk taking, idea making, and clear and honest communication. Healthy workplace culture encourages awkward but kind conversations. With practice and courage, better communication can lead to increased cooperation and self-confidence. By gaining skills for use during difficult conversations, it is easier to lean into vulnerability and work through problem identification and solving, cultivating a sense of shared leadership and teamwork. When all conversation partners feel valued, supported, and heard, confidence is restored in achieving potential. Through shared empathy and validation, colleagues can experience a deeper level of mutual respect, and a willingness to communicate more freely. Empathy is a key component and as psychologist Harriet Lerner teaches, we must listen with the same passion with which we want to be heard.
Workplace Communication Skill Development is a practical training that identifies the problems with “nice culture”, helps participants face the fears associated with clear communication and outlines ways to do things differently. Featuring an overview of specific skills to tackle difficult conversations, it also includes practical role play to kick start the process of clearer communication in the workplace. With ideas about advanced communication by Dr Adele Lafrance, this training is the perfect introduction to the full 3 hour Advanced Communication Skills training, which unpacks personal emotional triggers and the emotion regulation of others, common communication barriers, as well as practical skills for validating conversation partners while setting limits. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Hands down, one of THE best ways to boost your credibility as an advisor, coach, professional services vendor is to host your own live events.
They’re a chance for you to show off your **expertise, provide social proof** (your guest speakers will do that for you), and **get your name in front of more potential clients and customers**.
What’s holding you back?
Well, if you’re like most people, it’s fear. Fear of not being able to attract speakers. Fear of not being able to sell enough tickets. Fear of just putting yourself out there and saying, “I’m hosting an event.”
Here’s the secret though.
Your event does not have to be a 300-person affair. Sure, you can have aspirations of that (and perhaps you really should), but that’s not where you begin. You begin with a small, intimate venue that holds _less than 50 people._
Think about it. If you only have to sell 50 tickets, there’s a lot less pressure to perform. You’ll have lower out-of-pocket expenses, fewer people to please, and less equipment to worry about.
But you still have all the benefits of being able to say, **_“I’m hosting an event.”_**
Plus, this live event will lay the groundwork for future events. Because you’ve got the experience, it will be much easier to add live group coaching or mastermind components to your top-dollar coaching programs.
You’ll have a lot less worry over managing all the pieces and parts, simply because you’ve “been there, done that” on more than one occasion.
Live events can take many forms, too, so don’t think you have to commit yourself to a multi-day, multi-speaker conference. Your first event might be a local Meetup, or a half-day workshop held at your favorite conference center, or even a free mastermind session tacked on to a larger event you’re attending. The point is to get your feet wet and pave the way for bigger and better events down the road.
So, while you’re planning your event, keep these points in mind:
1. Promote and talk up your event as if it’s the biggest thing in your industry. Don’t lie, of course, but do be energetic and positive about it.
2. Get testimonials from attendees, and do it while you’re at the event. Don’t wait until they get home, because we are forgetful creatures.
3. Take notes. What worked, what didn’t, what could have been improved?
4. Keep it simple. Don’t try to host a multi-day, multi-room event for your first time out. Put that on your “someday” list instead.
Side note: I would be remiss if this wasn’t offered here too: the above list is a very high level question list. Events are all about **detail**. If you are not a detail person, by every means possible, hire a professional to guide and support you through it. Much like how many engaged couples hire a wedding planner, along with all their contacts and special pricing, event planners are worth every penny and then some!!
But the most important point about your first live event? **Just do it**. Step outside your comfort zone and enter the world of event hosts. Once you’re there, you’ll find that your advisory, coaching, and professional services credibility increases exponentially. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What is Mental Illness?
You’ve likely encountered discussions about mental illness, but how deep is your understanding? Mental illness refers to disorders impacting an individual’s thoughts and behaviors, potentially impeding their ability to manage daily life. With over 200 distinct types of mental illness, the spectrum varies. While some yield milder symptoms, others can be intense and disabling. At Family Medicine Specialists of Texas, we’re here to offer insights, support, and expert care to guide you towards better mental well-being.
Common forms of mental illness include:
- Anxiety disorders
- Bipolar disorder
Recognizing shifts in personality or mood within a loved one is crucial. Observing changes in habits or withdrawal from social interactions might also signal a deeper concern.
Mental illness can stem from severe stressors like death, divorce, or job loss. Genetic factors, chemical imbalances, or a blend of these elements can also contribute. Fortunately, through appropriate treatment, individuals grappling with mental illness can often acquire coping strategies and attain a balanced life. At Family Medicine Specialists of Texas, we’re committed to offering the support and care needed for improved mental well-being.
The Warning Signs
It can be challenging to determine whether someone you love is dealing with mental illness, particularly in young children and teens. Here are some of the most common symptoms.
Adults and Teens

- Extreme anxiety or fear
- Having extreme emotional highs and lows

Mental illness affects everyone, not just the individual. Families can find the support and care they need through both family and individual counseling.
How Can Your Family Physician Help?
Your family doctor plays a pivotal role not only in detecting potential symptoms of mental illness but also in providing vital assistance. Beyond identification, they can offer referrals, collaborate on treatment plans, and sometimes even have dedicated mental health experts on their team. Whether seeking guidance, building a treatment strategy, or addressing mental health concerns, your family physician is a reliable resource.
Never underestimate the importance of discussing unusual symptoms with your primary care physician, whether they’re physical or mental. At Family Medicine Specialists of Texas, we’re committed to providing comprehensive care, ensuring your overall well-being, and supporting your journey to mental wellness. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Unpaid Care Work Defined: Unpaid care work encompasses household chores, childcare, and caregiving for the elderly or sick family members, performed without monetary compensation.
Gendered Nature of Care Work: Societal norms and gender roles often dictate that caregiving is primarily women’s responsibility, contributing to time poverty.
Time Constraints and Economic Productivity: The demands of unpaid care work limit women’s time for education, formal employment, and income-generating activities.
Educational Attainment: Time poverty can hinder women’s access to education, limiting their opportunities for skill development and better-paying jobs.
Limited Workforce Participation: Balancing care responsibilities with paid work can lead to reduced work hours or dropping out of the formal workforce.
Income Disparities: Women’s limited economic participation results in lower earnings and contributes to the gender pay gap.
Lack of Access to Financial Services: Time poverty may prevent women from accessing financial services and opportunities for economic advancement.
Entrepreneurial Challenges: Time constraints may hinder women from pursuing entrepreneurial ventures and accessing resources to grow their businesses.
Mental and Physical Health: The constant juggling of care duties and economic activities can take a toll on women’s well-being and productivity.
Societal Impact: Overcoming time poverty is crucial for achieving gender equality, poverty reduction, and overall socio-economic development in Africa.
Time poverty resulting from unpaid care responsibilities remains a significant barrier to women’s economic opportunities in Africa. Addressing this issue requires challenging traditional gender roles and implementing policies that promote work-life balance and support women’s economic empowerment. By recognizing and valuing the contributions of women in both caregiving and economic spheres, African societies can build a more inclusive and prosperous future. Investing in social infrastructure, promoting shared caregiving responsibilities, and empowering women through education and financial inclusion are essential steps in overcoming time poverty and unlocking the full potential of African women. Empowered women contribute not only to their families’ well-being but also to the advancement of society as a whole. It is time to break free from the chains of time poverty and work towards building a more equitable and thriving Africa. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mental wellbeing is an escalating global challenge having serious impact on the quality of life, productivity in workplace etc. Our approach to wellbeing fundamentally depends on our perspective of ourselves. Are we just human beings, not much different from animals or something more? Over thousands of years the Vedic spiritual seekers dived deep within themselves to explore the inner space and they repeatedly verified that we all, without exception, are in essence really spiritual beings having human experiences. Their discoveries form Vedanta philosophy - the 'science of human excellences" - which explain in detail and with much clarity how we have multidimensional physical, mental, emotional and ethical layers of personality covering the fundamental Pure and eternal spiritual being. Along with this, the Vedic seekers developed systematic Yoga techniques to purify our minds and "dis-cover" our true Self.
The Vedantic conception of ourselves and Yogic mind-management techniques offer an alternative approach to address the mental wellbeing challenges. Ramakrishna Vedanta Centre, Auckland has taken up a project to make available these Vedanta-Yoga teachings to empower individuals with the knowledge and skill-sets to better manage their minds, emotions, values etc. to live meaningful, peaceful and productive lives.
Ritam is the Vedic principle responsible for maintaining order, harmony and rhythm both in the macrocosm and the microcosm. Stress, tension, dis-ease etc arise when we lose this balance at different levels of our being and around us. We have limited capacity to influence change outside us but we can definitely integrate our mind to our inner Self to gain greater poise, balance and rhythm in life. Meditation is the art of turning the mind inwards and anchoring it to our eternal, omniscient, blissful and pure Self. The more we are integrated with our inner Self, the greater will be the influence we can cast around us. This is the spiritual way to freedom from the slavery to the eternal world and internal body, senses and mind.
Ritam - Being in Balance is our series of conversations with Swami Tadananda wherein we explore the Vedanta-Yoga teachings and practices to promote our wellbeing. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Have you ever wondered what Colored Prescription Contact Lens are? Colored contact lenses are simply colored contacts that people wear to change the appearance of their natural eye color. Colored contact lenses can be made from gas permeable or soft lens materials, and they come in a variety of colors including blue, green, hazel, brown, and many more. This article will discuss 3 things about Colored Prescription Contact Lens that you never knew!
The first thing is Colored Prescription Contact Lens are not just for Halloween. Colored contact lenses have been around since the 1990s, but in recent years they have become an increasingly popular cosmetic accessory that people wear all year round!
The second thing is Colored Prescription Contact Lens can be custom made to match your eye color exactly. Traditional colored contacts come with a standard diameter of 14mm which may make them appear larger than normal on some eyes and smaller on others. It’s also possible for you to get Colored Contacts in specialty sizes such as Queen Color or Big Eyes if you need special sizing or magnification power correction.
The benefit of getting Colored Contacts specially sized means you don’t end up wearing large circle lenses that look unnatural when paired with Colored Contacts.
The third thing you need to know about Colored Contact Lenses is they are FDA approved, made of safe materials, and manufactured by reputable companies who stand behind their products 100%. Colored contacts have been around for decades so there are many options available on the market today. Just make sure you shop with a retailer that has an Rx Compatibility Guarantee in case your prescription changes or if you want another pair later on down the line!
What are they made of? Colored Contacts are made of either Polymacon or silicone hydrogel material.
What you need to know about Colored Contact Lenses is that they come in all different colors and styles that help give you the look you want. Colored contacts aren’t just for Halloween costumes anymore, now there are over hundreds of options on the market today! Just make sure to shop with a retailer who has your prescription details so your Colored Contacts fit correctly without any issues when they arrive at your doorstep!
It’s important to carry contact lenses specifically sized for each eye (and not sharing one lens between both eyes). The reason this matters? You’ll be able to see without any color distortion and Colored Contacts will be a perfect fit for your eyes.
In conclusion, Colored Contact Lenses are a popular choice for people who want to add some color and excitement to their eyes. Colored Contacts come in so many options that it might be difficult at first glance to pick just one.
However, Colored Contacts can also cause problems if you don’t carry your Colored contacts correctly or they’re too big/small for your eye size. Just make sure you shop with a retailer who has the details on file of each Colored contact lens prescription! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Access to Airline Pilot Careers
Here is a quick and easy way to understand how APC can launch your career in a few simple steps. Remember, everything is FREE to you in APC, once you have registered!
The Team at APC is presently working on an unsecured funding model that will help members, across multiple jurisdictions to borrow a large portion of the funds required to pay for their pilot training.
Central to this funding model are three critical elements.
APC have opened discussions with a number of international funds, with a view to building a bespoke pilot training loan that will defray a large percentage of the cost of the training for the student. This system will break down the biggest barrier to entry to the career which is the need to be able to fund your training out of collateral backed or guaranteed debt.
In our Discord Community we have opportunities for you to meet people just like yourself in our various Discord chats. You can also meet people who are more advanced in the career path than you, and who will be happy to help.
Introduce yourself, join in the chat, get tips on preparation for assessments and interviews, ask questions of the APC team, post pictures, enjoy our Flight Sim space.
Discord is a great way to keep in touch and learn as you go through the journey to becoming an airline pilot.
Every month from October to June we run 3 free webinars for APC members. These are scheduled in the evenings (in Ireland!), on Tuesdays.
Our format is to invite lecturers from our partner ATOs to put the spotlight on a subject or topic that we think will help aspiring or qualified pilots improve their knowledge. These webinars are really relaxed and enjoyable.
We also have a series of webinars called Women of Aviation, where we enable members of all backgrounds to learn from each other and the guests that we invite to chair the webinar or just contribute to the discussions. Hope to see you at these events soon! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Captivating Journey of Beer Through History
Beer is one of the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic drinks in the world, with a history that dates back thousands of years. It is made from cereal grains, most commonly from malted barley, though wheat, maize (corn), and rice are also used.
The earliest evidence of beer production dates back to what is now Iran, around 5,000 to 3,500 BC. Ancient Sumerians (modern-day Southern Iraq) had established breweries by the third millennium BC. Their religion credited the brewing of beer to a god, and they had a goddess of beer, Ninkasi, who was the patron deity of brewing and beer. They even had a hymn to Ninkasi that was, in part, a recipe for beer.
In ancient Egypt, beer was part of their daily diet and was also used in religious practices. Workers who built the pyramids were partially paid in beer. The Egyptians believed that brewing beer was taught to them by the god Osiris.
By the Middle Ages in Europe, brewing had moved from a primarily domestic activity to a commercial one, with monasteries and pubs becoming centers of beer production. Monks developed methods of producing ales with higher alcohol content and began the practice of "brewing seasons" due to the lack of refrigeration.
In the late 18th century, the industrial revolution led to significant changes in beer production. Steam power, refrigeration, and other technological advancements increased production and allowed for better consistency in the final product. This was also when the process of pasteurization was developed, which helped to increase the shelf life of beer.
In the 19th century, the discovery of yeast's role in fermentation led to the development of modern brewing yeast. The process of lagering, which requires cool temperatures, also became popular during this period due to improvements in refrigeration technology.
The craft beer revolution of the late 20th and early 21st centuries brought a renewed interest in varied and distinctive beers. Craft breweries exploded in popularity, especially in the United States, creating a thriving culture of beer connoisseurs interested in unique and locally brewed products.
Today, beer continues to be a significant part of many cultures worldwide, with endless styles and flavors to be enjoyed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dhruv made his debut for team India in the 3rd Test match in Rajkot, replacing KS Bharat as the keeper in the lineup. He impressed one and all with his performances in his debut match and repaid the faith of the team management and selectors with his performances with the gloves and the bat.
Dhruv Jurel Revealed How IPL Changed His Life
Dhruv Jurel will be next seen in action in the upcoming 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League, where he will be plying his trade for Rajasthan Royals. Dhruv made his debut in the Indian Premier League in 2023 and played 13 matches in that season.

Earlier this week, the Guardian reported that a subsidiary of Compass Group, the British catering and services giant, took bribes from counterparts in the Kazakh government for lucrative contacts. The scandal was exposed last year when Karim Pabani, the finance director of Eurest Support Services (ESS) between 2011 and 2013, sued his former employer which had fired him after he repeatedly brought issues of corruption to his superiors.
Last November, Pabani won the right to have his concerns heard by an employment tribunal in the UK. Compass tried to block the case, but the tribunal decided that it did indeed have jurisdiction as, in the words of Judge Fowell “the dismissal took place in the UK, to a UK citizen and resident.” As part of that process, Pabani submitted a witness statement of 166 paragraphs “setting out his full case both on the issues of jurisdiction and time and on the underlying merits of his claims.”
Pabani alleged in his testimony that the subsidiary’s profits were inflated and he had been asked to “falsify accounting records.” Among his claims were that a Kazakh government official and his family were treated to a holiday in Dubai–with a price tag of $19,000 (£12,000)–by Kaz Munay Gaz Services Compass (KMGSC), itself a subsidiary of the Kazakh state gas company and co-owned by Compass. Pabani also claimed that the subsidiary provided luxury vehicles to KMG.
A new batch of documents, obtained by the Guardian, highlight additional instances of bribery and fraud, and seem to indicate that Compass was aware of such practices. In 2011, before stricter regulations related to a 2010 Bribery Act came into effect, Compass rolled out a new code of conduct and “as part of the roll-out, the Group became aware of small facilitation payments being made through the freight forwarders in Kazakhstan in order to release goods from customs and immediately required the practice to stop. The position was closely followed up in order to ensure that the practice had indeed stopped.”
But according to lawyers, facilitation payments (which “grease” the wheels, so to say) have been illegal in Britain since 1889’s Public Bodies Corrupt Practices Act (which was amended when the 2010 law set a more modern standard).
The most recent batch of documents also that employees noticed and brought up the fact that local food suppliers in Kazakhstan were overcharging by almost “600,000 (£400,000) a year on foodstuffs ranging from chicken fillets and beef shoulder to bananas and dumplings.” Compass itself cried fraud in an internal audit, but has not commented publicly about its own due diligence.
Transparency International, in its 2014 Corruption Perception Index, ranked Kazakhstan at 126 out of 175 countries.
Compass Group engages in a wide variety of foodservice, cleaning, property management and other support services across more than 50 countries. ESS, the subsidiary Pabani worked for, specializes in harsh-environment food service and facilities management and was implicated in 2005 for corrupt practices in obtaining UN contracts to provide food services to peacekeepers in Liberia. In 2006, Compass settled that case without admitting legal liability–paying two competitors, Monaco-based ES-KO International and Switzerland’s Supreme Foodservice, less than $74 million (£40 million). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

As players continue to play, more and more symbols will be pushed onto the reels by the wheels. These symbols cause the numbers to change as they cause the reels to move. Each when a new symbol appears the reels convert a portion into winnings to the casino. More symbols land on the reels and more money is converted to winnings.
One of the best ways to increase your odds of winning is to play the best online slots in the best online slots casinos. To make this possible, you need to ensure you’ve got the correct configurations in place to play the slots. You could reduce your bankroll for online slots to lessen the risk of losing money. You may also want to increase your payouts in order to maximize your profit potential.
Using the best online casinos for slot machines is an excellent way to increase your chances of winning. This can be done by using a remote controller or RTC (Real Time Transaction Control). Using RTC will allow the players to play slots in complete control of the reels, as being able to control the actions of the slot machines. This ensures that the slots pay out in a completely random manner and there is no chance at all. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Mummy collides with Mission Impossible in the reboot of the video game franchise, Tomb Raider.
Lara Croft (Alicia Vikander), a bike messenger, appears to be someone special to all around her. She is strong, smart and very good-looking. Everyone likes her and knows that she really does not belong in the underbelly of the London streets they see her. Lara’s secret is that she is the daughter of missing and presumed dead adventurer Lord Richard Croft (Dominic West) and heir to Croft Holdings, a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Lara has refused to accept her heritage because it means that she must officially declare her father dead but ultimately after her father’s many years of absence, she is prompted to make the decision to save the company and her home. At the moment of her ascension, Lara comes across a clue that she is certain will help her to determine the true fate of her father. She immediately, carelessly and recklessly sets off on a quest to find her dad.
Tomb Raider is directed by relative newcomer Roar Uthaug, a Norwegian director best known for his geological catastrophe flick, The Wave. Uthaug does well in moving the action along in the movie starting with an opening MMA style sparring scene and a bike race that seemed to be right out of the classic Kevin Bacon movie Quicksilver or the more recent Premium Rush. In fact, Uthaug’s gritty, shaky film style lends itself well to the action scenes. Unfortunately, the derivative action scenes themselves do not make this movie standout. In fact, every action scene is one that has been seen before in some other movie, if not the video game and attempts to distract viewers from the lack of story.
The story of Tomb Raider seems to pull very heavily from the most recent, tenth installment of the video game. Lara travels on the ship Endurance to the island of Yamati to explore the tomb of Japanese Queen Himiko. The major changes from game to movie are that Lara travels with Lu Ren (Daniel Wu) instead of the full expedition crew of the game and Himiko is changed from a “Sun” queen to a Queen of Death. Sadly, writers Geneva Robertson-Dworet (the upcoming Captain Marvel) and Alastair Siddons (Trespass Against Us) have adapted the storyline from the game to create an origin story that lacks story. Academy Award winner Vikander’s (The Danish Girl) acting talent has been terribly undermined here to create just another action star. Even the normally outstanding Walton Goggins (TV’s Justified, The Hateful Eight) is underdeveloped as the villain in this film.
Vikander is well developed an in phenomenal physical shape in the movie, trading her soft alluring sexiness for the slimmer, crisply-toned and possibly sexier hard body of an action star. Many of the criticisms of her body especially the raptor comparison controversy (check it on the internet) lose their grounds upon seeing Vikander in the movie. Vikander has bulked up for the movie and reportedly has done most of her own stunts in the film.
Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, and for some language, Tomb Raider, in the end, is a video game movie, one of the better ones, but still a video game movie. Director Uthaug shows promising work and seems to be at his best in displaying moments of aquatic peril which he does extremely well in a boat scene in this movie. However, he and the writers fail to make this movie transcend its video game borders and thus it remains more an excursion in familiarity where gamers will be trying to push the “X” button to move Lara along the screen. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

SINGAPORE: Mr Ravi Philemon, the Secretary-General of the opposition Red Dot United (RDU) party, said in a Dec 22 (Friday) Facebook post that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) appears to have reconsidered the requirements for Politically Significant Person (PSP) after the party voiced objections to them.
Mr Philemon wrote that MHA had informed all political parties and their CEC members on Dec 11 regarding legislation involving PSPs under the Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act (FICA), which is set to take effect on Dec 29. This includes requiring PSPs to have a dedicated bank account for all political donations.
On Dec 12, RDU wrote back to MHA to say that solicited donations go to the party’s bank account, not to its CEC members. Therefore, compliance with FICA’s requirements puts additional administrative and potential financial burdens on them, as it can cost at least S$500 to open an account and monthly service fees.
However, Mr Philemon added that MHA wrote back on Dec 18 to say there would be no changes to its rules for CEC members. RDU responded to MHA, expressing intent to comply with the new regulations.
Nevertheless, “we felt that many issues were amiss with FICA, especially the new requirement for PSPs,” wrote Mr Philemon.
These issues are laid out in a statement published on Dec 21 on RDU’s website, titled, “Are FICA’s New Rules for PSPs Missing the Woods for the Trees?”
“We questioned why the government assumes a linear and simplistic money trail associated with foreign influence. We pointed out that foreign interference in the political affairs of a nation is a multifaceted challenge, often involving covert operations, disinformation campaigns, and manipulation of various channels.”
After the back-and-forth exchanges and RDU’s statement, “the MHA seems to have reconsidered some of its requirements for PSPs,” said Mr Philemon in his post, adding that the ministry said on Dec 22 that is reviewing the requirement for PSPs who do not receive political donations, and that PSPs who have never received and do not expect to receive political donations need not have a separate bank account for donations until they start receiving them.
Mr Philemon also posted a link to PAP’s article on FICA, “Is the Opposition undermining the threat of foreign interference?” published earlier this week,
“The article, in its many spurious claims, asserts that the Opposition (like RDU) is ‘misguided into opposing (FICA) for opposing sake,’ or that we oppose it to incite ‘division to mislead Singaporeans’ as that is ‘what (the) Opposition craves, and FICA has unwittingly tossed a spanner in the works,” noted Mr Philemon, who then added that “nothing could be further from the truth!”
He acknowledged the significance of a bill that would curb foreign interferences in Singaporean politics but added that FICA “falls short because it was enacted swiftly through a rapid legislative process, with minimal consultation with stakeholders, and despite objections (to the current form) from all opposition MPs.”
Mr Philemon also promised that RDU would continue championing accountability and transparency “as a responsible opposition party in Parliament.”
