Gals That Brunch Youngstown is bringing women together once a month to eat delicious food and, more importantly, to support each other and the community.
Gals That Brunch is a limited liability company with over 55 chapters. The Youngstown chapter began November 2019.
“Our mission is to create a positive, authentic and empowering atmosphere where women can connect with each other and find community within their city,” according to galsthatbrunch.com.
However, the Youngstown chapter is taking it a step further by using the monthly gathering as an opportunity to support local businesses and philanthropies.
Katy Haybarger and Jessica Irwin, the Gals That Brunch Youngstown leaders, met while working as nurses in the ICU. Together, they were inspired to start a social platform where people can connect.
“Gals That Brunch has a very simple mission: to connect with women over brunch. Jess and I have taken it just a step further, and we’ve added philanthropic aspects to every brunch. So, every month we give to someone in need or some kind of an organization within our community,” Haybarger said.
February’s Gals That Brunch Youngstown gathering was hosted at Homestead Kitchen & Cocktails in Columbiana. All tickets to the brunch included four courses with an alcoholic drink for each course, and proceeds benefited Trees for a Change in honor of the late nature-lover Kyle Bullen who died by suicide last year.
“If you look in literature, there’s so many metaphors with nature and humanity, especially within trees. We thought it was a beautiful way to spark a conversation on mental health and suicide prevention,” Irwin said.
Gal’s That Brunch Youngstown events strive to exceed the expectations of a typical Sunday brunch with live piano and cello performances, a photo booth and speakers.
Speakers included Nicole Ranttila, a clinical psychologist, and Brandi Booth, a local musician who shared her struggle with mental illness through spoken-word poetry.
February’s event hosted local vendors including Lia Andreatta Massage, Glitter Galore at Tracey Ramun Art Creations, Radio Hoop and Fruit Collective.
In Irwin’s opinion, many don’t realize the wealth of people and resources in the Youngstown area.
“That includes small businesses, restaurants, the arts. It’s just a wealth of people here that we need to tap into more as a Youngstown community,” Irwin said.
Additionally, representatives from Full Spectrum Community Outreach, Help Network of Northeast Ohio and Trees for a Change were at the brunch to provide information to attendees.
“Our mission was to connect women into the back to the community but also in addition to that to create this awareness of all of these local resources that we have,” Haybarger said.
Vince Brancaccio, chief executive officer for Help Network of Northeast Ohio, attended to raise awareness of the 2-1-1 hotline and the resources provided by Help Network of Northeast Ohio for Ashtabula, Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties.
Help Network of Northeast Ohio takes 400 calls each day and 150,000 calls each year in addition to 750 in-person consultations.

“Five people die of suicide each day. In a week, we take anywhere from five to 10 suicide-related calls each day, covering our four counties. In addition, we take 25 to what we call crisis calls,” Brancaccio said.
Help Network of Northeast Ohio also takes 400 information referral calls each day, giving callers information on local resources including mental health, substance abuse, veterans, food, dispute resolution, victims’ assistance, utilities assistance, health, housing, special needs and seniors.
“People who are in crisis, if they can’t find help, they end up giving up hope. And when you give up hope, your next thought is ‘Do I really want to live?’” Brancaccio said. “So we take those 25 calls, and hopefully we can keep them, you know, prevent them from getting to a place where they want to die.”
Haybarger and Irwin encourage Youngstown State University students to get involved, so long as they are over the age of 21.
Next month’s event will take place March 15 at Nova Coffee Co. in Warren. Follow @galsthatbrunchyo on Instagram for ticket information. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It does matter because if they ever come knocking on your door the points on your racks better match your tag numbers. That's the only reason they ask that question IMO.I am taking a couple of things away from this so far.
1. It does not matter what you say for points.
2. They want it to be questionable so they can have access to your home.
3. The want to brag about your buck is the devils hand. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Starting a service-based business can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s not without its challenges.
Many entrepreneurs, whether they’re new to business management, or have been doing it for a number of years, find themselves overwhelmed with the sheer number of tasks involved – from defining their services to building a brand and attracting clients.
If you’re in this boat, you’re not alone.
Fortunately, there are proven strategies that can help you navigate these challenges effectively.
In our latest webinar, The Build, Brand, Boost Blueprint, we provide a deep dive into the strategies you need overcome these challenges.
This free, on-demand webinar is delivered by The Online Business Association’s resident marketing expert, Liam Marshall and is designed to give you actionable insights and practical steps to make starting and scaling your service-based business effortless.
Let’s take a look at what skills you’ll learn during this session…
Defining Your Services: The Foundation of Success
One of the first steps in building a successful service-based business is defining your services.
This might sound straightforward, but it’s an area where many business owners stumble. A clear and well-defined service offering is crucial for several reasons:
- Clarity for Clients: When potential clients understand exactly what you offer, they’re more likely to engage with your business. Vague or overly broad service descriptions can leave them confused and hesitant.
- Marketing Efficiency: Well-defined services allow you to create targeted marketing campaigns that speak directly to the needs of your audience.
- Operational Focus: Knowing your core services helps you streamline your operations and focus on what you do best.
During the webinar, we’ll explore how to identify your core services and match them to your skills and expertise.
We’ll also discuss how to create service packages that add value and appeal to your clients.
Branding Your Business: Building Recognition and Trust
Branding is about creating a unique identity for your business. It’s how you build recognition and trust with your audience. Without a strong brand, your business is just another name in a crowded market.
In the webinar, we’ll cover the key areas of branding, including developing your visual identity with elements like your logo and colour scheme.
We’ll also explore how to craft your brand voice so that you can create consistency across all your communications.
We’ll explore practical strategies and will take actionable steps together to help you create a cohesive and memorable brand that resonates with your target audience and stand you out from the competition.
These insights will empower you to stand out in a competitive market and build a loyal client base.
Building Your Client List: Strategies for Growth
Building a client list is essential for the growth of your business.
Your services and brand might be solid, but without clients, your business can’t thrive.
Here are some strategies we’ll discuss in the webinar:
- Content Marketing and Social Media: Sharing informative articles, videos, and blog posts related to your services helps to establish you as an expert in your field and provides value to your audience.
- Networking and Referrals: Attending industry events, joining professional groups, and connecting with potential clients and partners can significantly boost your business. We’ll also talk about creating a referral programme that rewards clients for successful referrals.
- Optimising Your Digital Presence: Having a professional, user-friendly website and utilising SEO and online directories ensures that potential clients can find you easily.
- Engaging with Potential Clients: Engaging with potential clients through valuable content and encouraging client testimonials and reviews can significantly boost your client list.
The ‘Build, Brand, Boost Blueprint’ Webinar
Defining your services, building a strong brand, and attracting clients are essential steps for any service-based business. These steps, while often overlooked, are crucial for setting a strong foundation and scaling your business effectively.
To gain more in-depth insights and practical steps, check out the full webinar: The Build, Brand, Boost Blueprint: 3 Essential (but Often Overlooked) Steps for Launching and Scaling Your Service-Based Business.
This webinar is not only free to view, but is also available on-deman, meaning you can watch wherever you want, at a time that’s convenient to your busy schedule, and as many times as you need to digest all of the strategies discuss. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has declared the criminal indictment of seven illegal aliens captured on video brutally assaulting two NYPD officers who were responding to reports of a disturbance in Times Square.
The indictments followed widespread condemnation directed at Bragg for his failure to secure bail for four individuals initially accused of participating in the cop beating. After their release, the individuals gestured their middle fingers at reporters outside the police precinct.
“The assault on our police officers in Times Square outraged and sickened me,” Bragg said in a press statement on Thursday. “We have absolutely no tolerance for this despicable behavior.”
Facing mounting criticism, Bragg defended the release of the illegal aliens without bail, asserting that video footage alone was insufficient evidence to identify the suspects. However, on Thursday, he stated that everyone involved had been identified before the indictment.

They can’t defend their insanity. pic.twitter.com/87nO0pLrkO

“Our joint investigation with the NYPD helped us determine the alleged roles of new individuals involved, including some who are charged with having committed the most violent conduct and have not yet been apprehended,” Bragg added.
During a press conference, Bragg showcased the video and identified five out of the seven individuals. The last two remain at large, and their indictments are currently under seal.
Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, Yorman Reveron and Kelvin Servita Arocha face charges of two counts of assault in the second degree and one count of obstruction of governmental administration in the second degree.
Wilson Juarez and Yohenry Brito were charged with one count of tampering with physical evidence. Additionally, Juarez faces two counts of hindering prosecution in the third degree and Brito faces one count.
The initial release of the illegal aliens prompted bipartisan criticism against Bragg. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James, both Democrats, declared that Bragg should have sought bail for the accused individuals.

On Tuesday, 20 Republicans in the state Senate urged Hochul to remove Bragg from office over his initial failure to obtain bail for the illegal aliens. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If you love marketing like I do.
Theres no doubt you've heard the “I Love Marketing” Show with Dean Jackson and Joe Polish.
Anyone who knows the show
— knows —
Dean and Joe are prolific Direct Response Marketers.
Their works has brought in millyuns for them and their clients.
That's why I jumped at the chance to work with Dean on my eMail game.
First lesson he taught me…
“eMail is a long game. If you're not willing to go 2+ years developing a relationship, don't bother.”
Which is funny because I've been eMailing (almost) daily since 2016.
See for yourself at https://thepodcastfactory.com/blog/page/87/
But I never really thought about this two year thing until he said it.
When I invest moolah in ads I'm obsessed with getting my ad spend back – pronto.
It makes sense though.
Why? Because in the last two weeks I enrolled two fellas who have been around for years.
I spoke to fella #1 in 2016.
We didn't work together.
He hired someone else.
And finally found his way back to casa de Rivera.
Fella #2 I spoke to a year ago.
He needed do some work on his business.
And he came back bigger and badder than ever (you know who you are.)
This guy has been reading my emails for years and he was finally ready to join forces with me and the team at The Podcast Factory.
That's why I always say…
If you're reading these daily notes.
You are mine.
It's only a matter of time.
There's a lesson here if you look closely.
Consistency plays a huge role in your success.
When you show up every day.
When you put yourself out there.
When you do the work.
The people that should be yours will be…
When the time is right.
Anyways, if you want a world class education on podcasting you can read back through my archive of 871 articles https://thepodcastfactory.com/blog/page/87/
If you're ready to start your show in the next 30 days without headaches or hassles.

And we can rap. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Last week, The Real Deal broke the news that top broker Oren Alexander and his twin brother, Alon, had been accused of rape and sexual assault by at least two women. The complaints detail events that allegedly took place more than a decade ago. But the lawsuits and the nearly 30 people who came forward alleging similar incidents after the story published, according to an attorney representing the two women, speak to a pattern of alleged gender-based violence. Deconstruct speaks with South Florida Bureau Chief Katherine Kallergis, Reporter Sheridan Wall and Senior Editor Ellen Cranley about what we know so far.
_Warning: This episode includes descriptions of alleged sexual assault.

The Fearless Life of Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass was a man of many talents and accomplishments, but most importantly, he was a fearless advocate for the abolition of slavery and equal rights for all. Born into slavery in Maryland in 1818, Douglass escaped to freedom in 1838 and soon became one of the most prominent figures in the abolitionist movement.
Douglass was not only an eloquent speaker and writer, but also a gifted thinker and strategist. He advised presidents and spoke out against injustices wherever he saw them, even when it was dangerous to do so.
Despite facing numerous obstacles and setbacks throughout his life, Douglass remained committed to his cause and never lost his passion for justice. His dedication and bravery continue to inspire us to this day. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Sunday, August 7th was the fifth and final day of the Star Trek 50th Anniversary Celebration here in Las Vegas. After the previous day’s three captains — Shatner, Bakula, and Mulgrew — in addition to Walter Koenig, Michael Westmore, and the crowd-pleasing Star Trek The Concert, one might wonder how Day 5 could hope to top all of that.
Upon arriving at Quark’s Bar this morning for some much-needed tea and coffee, it was clear that some of the festive spirit of the first four days had succumbed to the realization that the celebration was nearly over. There were hugs and even tears as some convention-goers were saying goodbye to friends, old and new, before rushing off to catch flights. The crowd of more than 6000 people who jammed themselves into yesterday’s Shatner session and last night’s Nevada Pops concert had been whittled down by Sunday travel plans (and perhaps also by raging hangovers), but it was nice to see that the Leonard Nimoy Theatre was still at near-capacity for the morning panel sessions.
Today’s programme had fewer items on it, but it was still an amazing day with some of the most candid and intense panel sessions of the entire convention — especially the incredible six-person DS9 session! You can read all about it below.
Day 5 Round-up
Q&A and Music with Casey Biggs (Damar, DS9) and Vaughn Armstrong (Admiral Forrest, Enterprise)
The day began with an energetic session with Casey Biggs and Vaughn Armstrong! Regarding Damar’s drink of choice, kanar, Biggs had this to say:

The highly anticipated Glastonbury Festival returns with an electrifying line-up of musicians and artists.
As one of summer's biggest Greenfield music and performing arts festivals, style is all the rage, even more so when it comes to finding accommodation that is just as tasteful. Much like the dazzling Coachella Festival in the Colorado Dessert, where they too offer exclusive campsites (and services) in the form of Safari Tents, it’s no surprise that Glastonbury has further amplified its variety of on-site accommodation with attractive extras to go along with it.
Whether you’re looking to revel in the festivities or have your family in tow or maybe you prefer to indulge in the festival in style - well, this huge tented city is filled with options for the festivalgoer.
Our mission is to discover how to appreciate Glastonbury in ultra comfort and style – take for example The Popup Hotel which offers a reserved site replete with security, private parking, spa, exquisite food bars, concierge service and a host of room types depending on the person’s preferences, and what’s more, the site is located a mere few minutes walk from Gate D. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) says the Legal Team of President Akufo-Addo is ready to expose the emptiness of NDC Flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama’s Election Petition at the Supreme Court.
A statement signed and issued by Mr. Yaw Buaben Asamoa, NPP’s Communications Director, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, on Thursday, said the court process would indeed, reaffirm President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the true winner of the 2020 Presidential Election.
It said the NPP’s response in court would show that the NDC had no material evidence of value and expose the Party’s false claims that its flag bearer, John Mahama won the just-ended election.
“The NPP is assured that the 7th December 2020 Elections was won fair and square. Indeed, the evidence presented by the NDC has only reassured the people of Ghana that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo won the elections.
Mr. Mahama, through his lawyers, on Wednesday, December 30, 2020 filed a petition at the country’s apex court to legally challenge the 2020 Presidential Election, which the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs. Jean Mensa, declared President Akufo-Addo, as President-elect on December 9, 2020.
“The fact of transparency of the General Election was also resoundingly affirmed by the myriad of local and international observers that participated in the electoral process,” the statement said.
The NPP urged Mr. Mahama to call the NDC’s supporters to order and halt the street protests to ensure peace and tranquility in the country.
“It is also unfortunate that even after filing the Petition in court, the NDC led by John Dramani Mahama continues to incite supporters to pour onto the streets to cause chaos and anarchy.
” They have attempted and continue to use lies, threats, violence, and intimidation to seek forlornly to overrule the manifest will of the people as freely expressed on 7th December 2020.
“We are absolutely confident that the facts and figures as presented in court, even by the NDC, will very easily, in a transparent and indisputable manner, reaffirm the expressed will of the voting public that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo won the 2020 Presidential Election “one-touch” and convincingly so.
The statement said it was quite worrying that Mr. Mahama, through his social media handles, continues to incite violence even as he invokes his right to use the court process to settle his grievance.
It said Mr. Mahama wrote on his Facebook and Twitter walls that while in court, the NDC will continue all legitimate actions, including protests, to demand the enforcement of the rule of law and protection of life and property of the good people of Ghana.
That, the NPP viewed the action as unfortunate and unbefitting of a former President of the Republic.
” In his latest Press Conference, he (Mahama) explained he is going to court only “to remove doubt.” Does he need the Supreme Court to remove his doubts about losing the elections?”
The statement said the several attempts by the NDC to use lies, threats, violence, and intimidation to overrule the will of the people is disappointingly undemocratic of Mr. Mahama and a breach of the Peace Pact signed on December 4, ahead of the election.
“We call on John Dramani Mahama to immediately retract his inciteful statements to his supporters. It is highly irresponsible of him to commence the judicial process yet still admonish his supporters to continue with the violent protests that have threatened the security and peace of Ghanaians,” the NPP said.
It said when NPP filed a Petition in 2012, the Party admonished its supporters not to hit the streets and they compiled and urged the NDC and its flag bearer to do same.
The statement said the NPP is confident that due process would prevail, and the Supreme Court would deal with the Petition in accordance with the rule of law. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Two days ago, I discussed getting the traditional chest x-ray routinely after chest tube insertion. The answer was yes, it is important even if it appears to be functioning correctly. But yesterday, I also showed you how the chest x-ray can lie.
Remember this image?
Looks perfect! But it’s a 2-D view and you don’t know where the tube is in the anterior-posterior axis. It turns out to be in the patient’s subcutaneous tissues of his back, near his scapula!
So what if this is a trauma activation patient and you are getting ready to send your patient for a chest CT shortly? Should you follow the usual dogma and still get a conventional chest x-ray prior to leaving the trauma bay?
The answer is no! Typically, your trauma activation patient should have rapid access to the CT scanner, so you won’t have to wait very long. And the additional 3-D information is very helpful in making sure the tube is placed exactly where you want it.
Bottom line: If you are planning on obtaining a chest CT anyway in your trauma patient, don’t bother with a conventional chest x-ray first to check chest tube position. But DON’T order a chest CT for this reason alone! Remember, the chest CT is only for detecting aortic injury in blunt trauma. It should not be used for diagnosing fractures, hemothorax, or pneumothorax. Or chest tube position! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Malaysia , May 9, 2024 Microsoft is set to inject $2.2 billion into Malaysia’s technological landscape, with a sharp focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure, as part of its commitment to bolster the nation’s digital evolution. This substantial investment, announced by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during his visit to Kuala Lumpur, underscores the company’s dedication to fostering innovation and growth across Southeast Asia.
Among the key initiatives outlined in the announcement is the establishment of an AI Centre of Excellence and a comprehensive program aimed at providing education and training to over 200,000 individuals in Malaysia. Nadella emphasized Microsoft’s pledge to ensure that the benefits of AI transformation are accessible to all Malaysians, spanning businesses, communities, and developers.
Zafrul Abdul Aziz, Malaysia’s minister of investment, trade, and industry, hailed the investment as a testament to the deep partnership between Microsoft and Malaysia, founded on mutual trust. Aziz expressed confidence in Malaysia’s burgeoning tech ecosystem, highlighting the nation’s established semiconductor industry and its attractiveness to global investors.
The development of critical cloud and AI infrastructure, coupled with extensive skilling opportunities, is poised to significantly augment Malaysia’s digital capabilities and reinforce its position in the global technology arena. Microsoft’s collaboration with Malaysia aims to unlock new prospects for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and create high-quality employment opportunities, propelling Malaysia’s digital growth trajectory forward.
This landmark investment in Malaysia follows similar multibillion-dollar commitments made by Microsoft in Indonesia and Thailand, reflecting the company’s broader strategy to advance AI development worldwide. With forecasts suggesting that AI could substantially contribute to Southeast Asia’s GDP by 2030, Microsoft’s endeavors are poised to catalyze transformative economic growth and innovation across the region. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

When it comes to yoga, there are many different types and styles to choose from. But when you’re pregnant, is it better to stick with regular yoga or try prenatal yoga instead? After all, isn’t all yoga basically the same? But not necessarily. While regular yoga and prenatal yoga both offer many benefits, there are some key differences between the two. Here’s a look at some of the main differences between regular yoga and prenatal yoga.
What is Prenatal Yoga?
Prenatal yoga is a type of yoga that is specifically designed for pregnant women. It typically focuses on gentle and slow movements as well as deep breathing. Prenatal yoga classes may also incorporate other elements, such as meditation and relaxation techniques.
Prenatal yoga can help to relieve some of the common discomforts that occur during pregnancy, such as back pain, nausea, and fatigue. It can also help to improve your sleep and reduce stress levels. In addition, prenatal yoga can help to increase your strength, flexibility, and stamina. Along with this, you must also incorporate other dietary and lifestyle changes like adding more whole foods to your diet or drinking mother Horlicks and reducing your intake of processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol.
What is Regular Yoga?
Regular yoga includes all forms and styles of yoga for everyone, regardless of whether they’re pregnant or not. While regular yoga can be beneficial for pregnant women, it’s important to be aware of the fact that not all yoga poses are safe to do during pregnancy. That’s why it’s always best to check with your doctor or midwife before attending a regular yoga class if you’re pregnant.
Which is Right for You?
So, which is right for you – regular yoga or prenatal yoga? The best way to decide is to speak with your doctor or midwife. They can give you specific recommendations based on your individual health and fitness level.
In general, however, most healthy pregnant women can safely participate in yoga during pregnancy. If you have any concerns or medical conditions, however, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and stick with prenatal yoga.
Whether you choose regular yoga or prenatal yoga, both offer many benefits. If you’re pregnant and looking to start a yoga practice, be sure to speak with your doctor or midwife first to ensure that it’s safe for you to do so. Once you have the okay, then you can decide which type of yoga is right for you. Remember, there’s no wrong answer – it’s all about what works best for you and your body. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Ground investigation finds extension to be stable
Phil Howden inspected a property this week. The house has suffered from damage following deep excavation works near the property by a Statutory Undertakers’ Contractor, with heavy plant causing significant vibration. The Contractor had also needed to dewater due to high ground water levels.
The property is about 60 years old and was extended at the front about 30 years ago. A Consulting Engineer acting for the Statutory Undertaker inspected the property and reported that the front extension had suffered from foundation movement. They excavated trial pits and reported further that the extension was founded on a raft on Peat. They recommended that the extension was stabilised by underpinning.
When Phil inspected the property he discovered that, contrary to the previous Engineer’s report, damage indicated that the more historic original house had suffered foundation movement relative to the extension. A further ground investigation confirmed that the more recent extension was not founded on a raft, but on a pile and ground beam foundation. The investigation confirmed also that the original house was founded on a raft.
The second ground investigation confirmed the observations made by Phil that the extension was adequately founded and stable. It did not need underpinning. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Nestled in the magnificent Monadnock region of southwestern New Hampshire,Thomas R. Longacre Antiques was established in 1972 and is owned by Tom and his wife Beverly. Our historic eighteenth-century home, with its modern gallery addition, has been the location of our full-time antiques business for more than 40 years. Our gallery is open by appointment, or you can see us at one of many antiques shows throughout the year.
After Tom graduated from college in 1971 with degrees in history and art, the antiques business was a natural career choice for him. He has dedicated over three and a half decades to the discovery, study, and placement of antiques and folk art. His expertise has afforded him the opportunity to work with both dealers and collectors at all levels, and in a wide range of categories. Sharing that passion for discovery is a common bond between Tom and his clients.
Beverly holds a Master's degree in education and, prior to moving to New Hampshire, owned and operated an antiques business in New Jersey for over 15 years. Along with her work at Thomas R. Longacre Antiques, she specializes in antique Christmas folk art trading under the name Beverly A. Weir - Christmas Antiques. She is currently show co-chairman for the annual New Hampshire Antiques Dealers Show, held in Manchester, NH each August. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

We are using the free TFTP server tool as a dependency of another application to push files to remote components. We don't need the user to be a local or domain admin to accomplish this task.

So, a couple of weeks ago, I talked about trying on other creative roles, suggesting that we often identify ourselves in a certain way and it can sometimes keep us in a box so it can behoove us, if you will, to try something new to inspire us and to see things from a different angle.
Today I’d like to talk about being inspired by art forms other than those in which we currently engage.
As a musician, for example, I am often inspired by the music I hear, by the elegant poetry of the lyrics, the unexpected chord progressions or the effective production of the recording. And, while I would never attempt to take from another’s work, it is only natural for a person to learn from the work of others in their field.
But I can also learn and grow as a musician from things that are not music related. My musical inspiration can come from many places, and by that I do not mean seeing daily events as thematic material for my work. There’s more to it than that.
Sometimes dancing can make me think of music. Sometimes a scene in a movie can bring melodic motifs into my head. These are obvious pairings as most dance is performed to music and there is a musical score behind most films.
But it’s not even about these art forms working together in an expected way.
When I was directing a musical earlier this year, there was a character in the show who was a refined and, yet, passionate man of Russian background. I suggested to the actor portraying him that he view videos of the amazing figure skater, Victor Petrenko. I gave him this homework because I wanted him to sing and act like Petrenko skated, with that technical perfection infused with emotion that was both moving and mesmerizing to watch.
When you watch a great new film or one of your existing favorites, notice the pacing of the action of the dialog. Notice the setting. Can you use any of the stylistic or linguistic techniques to enhance your own work? What would the bold colours of a film from the 1960’s look like as a musical piece? Does a brush stroke in a painting make you think of a haunting cello line? Does that small statue of a little girl in the museum inspire a poem or, perhaps, an entire novel telling her story?
This is all about creating a kind of artistic synesthesia, if you will, whereby the different art forms inspire and fuel each other. More about synesthesia in a future blog post.
In Swimming Tigress Music news, I am excited to announce our that I have just finished the last track for the Ladybug Crossings album! The lyric video for Mr. Willywallywolowitz will be out shortly and I’m expecting the album to be released at the end of September!
Speaking of September, it is almost the start of the new lesson season. So, if you or anyone you know is looking to experience the joy of learning to sing, I am currently accepting students in person and via Skype for the upcoming year. You can find more information on the Music Lessons page on this site and then contact me through the Contact page if you have any questions.
Well, that’s all for now. Have a fabulous day! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Thank you so much for the quick shipment of Cleo Teissedre’s “Navajo Chief”. It was obvious you packed him with love and care.
Last week my sweet, adorable cat was zooming around the family room and knocked the Navajo Chief I had had for over 3 decades off the mantle breaking it irreparably. I was heartbroken and had been searching online for another. Not until I found your store did I find him. I thanked God and I thank you.

CHENNAI: How would you address mindless tourism? That’s what People for Pondicherry’s heritage, Indian national trust for art and cultural heritage and Pondy Citizen action network are hoping to find out with the ninth edition of Pondicherry Heritage Festival. Themed on ‘Responsible Tourism’, the festival will be held from February 1 to March 15, and will address the challenges of ‘mindless tourism’ such as littering, growing incidence of crime, traffic congestion and over-exploitation of infrastructure (water, sanitation, roads, etc).
The festival will focus on capitalising on the economic benefits, preserva tion of natural areas and promotion of culture and heritage. The festival is supported by the
Puducherry tourism department, French Institute of Pondicherry, Alliance Française, Puduherry, Sri Aurobindo Society and a host of organisations. The festival includes creative events and contests for school and college students under its main theme, craft bazaars displaying artefacts by artisans from Puducherry and other parts of the country.
There will also be live performances by noted dancers Anita Rat - nam and Meera Das and musician Amrit Ramnath at restored heritage loca - tions and buildings. “Traditional art forms, games, and ways of living and cooking will be ex - plored through different events. There will also be boat rides in the man - groves, kayaking for a trash-free planet, wetland photo contest and a learn - ing through nature work - shop for children,” says Alliance Francaise presi - dent Satish Nallam. “Cycle tours, food walks, street plays, book launches, poetry readings, talks, discussions and sem - inars on cultural heritage conservation, Tamil heri - tage and women’s contribu - tion to culture will also be part of the events. We are also planning to spotlight millets as the United Na - tions has declared 2023 the year of millets.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
NEW DELHI: The BJP is likely to name information and broadcasting and urban development minister M
Venkaiah Naidu as its nominee for the vice-presidential elections coming up next month.
The party's parliamentary board meet has started at 6 pm. The formal announcement will be made after the meeting.
With the numbers clearly pitched in the government's favour, Naidu is likely to be the next vice-president of the country, after Hamid Ansari, who served two terms that get over next month.
Read this story in BengaliNaidu will be contesting against
Gopalkrishna Gandhi, a joint candidate of the 18 opposition parties, for the vice presidential polls.
Party sources said Naidu will be suitable as he will have the additional responsibility to run the Rajya Sabha as chairman of the house of elders.
The BJP is keen to have a vice presidential candidate representing one of the southern states, after having nominated
Ram Nath Kovind who represents Uttar Pradesh. Naidu fits the bill as he hails from the erstwhile state of
Andhra Pradesh (that has now been bifurcated into two states) and is also connected to Tamil Nadu.
With this, the party hopes to gain a stronghold in south India. Karnataka is the only southern state where BJP has a significant political presence.
The names of Naidu and Maharashtra governor Vidyasagar Rao have been doing the rounds as probables to be the next vice-president.
However, cabinet reshuffle/expansion will be imperative after Naidu's exit from the union ministry since he is currently holding two key portfolios of urban development and information and broadcasting. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A short tip today to remind you that you can deep link to a specific paragraph for most judgments on CanLII. This is helpful when you want to bring a colleague’s attention to specific paragraphs in a judgment.
Each decision on CanLII has a permanent URL, which will look like this:
To create a link directly to paragraph 21 of this decision, just add #par21 after this permanent URL. The link to paragraph 21 of the decision would look like this:
I often use this when I’m sending a list of relevant case law to a colleague and want them to be able to dive into the most relevant excerpts, as opposed to flipping back and forth to my email to double check which paragraph I mentioned. For example, if I wanted to share some recent judicial consideration of section 8 of the federal Interest Act, I might send them the following linked list.
- Krayzel Corp. v. Equitable Trust Co., 2016 SCC 18 at paras 21–23.
- Hornstein v. Orbach, 2016 ONSC 1458 at paras 37–41.
- P.A.R.C.E.L. Inc. v. Acquaviva, 2015 ONCA 331 at paras 39–97.
Please note that many older decisions do not have numbered paragraphs and so this tip will not work [for them]. Also, since this feature is the result of automated processing, there will always remain a small proportion of decisions which numbered paragraphs can’t be properly tagged. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Unlike the vast majority of Canadian regulations, you can’t find a consolidated version of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations on the federal Justice Laws website; instead the Justice Laws website refers you to Transport Canada’s website. While Transport Canada has a copy of the current consolidated version, it does not make previous versions available on its website, so what is a law librarian to do? Head to the Wayback Machine of course!
There is a lovely capture of how the Regulation read right before a major 2016 amendment; this removed a frequently referred to table from part 8.1. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Paul Heyman is heading to the WWE Hall of Fame but life in the company wasn’t always easy for The Wise Man according to Rob Van Dam.
To some Paul Heyman is the massive phone-wielding maniac that put together a huge array of WCW talent in the Dangerous Alliance. To others, Heyman is the brains behind the beloved ECW promotion that had its heyday in the nineties. And to a wider audience, Paul Heyman is the man who guided Brock Lesnar to unparalleled success in WWE before becoming The Wise Man to his Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.
While Heyman is met with almost universal acclaim for his accomplishments these days, it was not always that way for him as had to fight his corner when WWE reintroduced ECW in the mid-2000s.
“He Didn’t Get A Lot Of Respect” – Rob Van Dam On Paul Heyman
Speaking to Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Rob Van Dam had his say on his former boss becoming a WWE Hall of Famer and explained why Heyman wasn’t always respected by his peers in the company:
It’s pretty cool they’re giving him his flowers because he was the man. He was the one that made ECW happen. He’s the one that really, not just him, but he’s the guy that made everything possible. It couldn’t have happened without him. He changed the business, he set new standards. ECW is because of him, his leadership, his braveness, his passion, his artistic direction. All of that is like, ‘Man, thank you, Paul. Thank you, Paul.’
At the same time, since he’s been in WWE, man, he’s just moved right up. I knew when I was there back then, we’re bringing ECW and all that, he didn’t get a lot of respect in the way of the other agents didn’t like ECW, were trying to fight it, didn’t want it to come in. They were giving him a hard time. They were like an opposition in a lot of ways.
But man, all the boys seemed to know right away that, man, some people say he’s a genius. A lot of the boys have been really always commenting on how smart he is, and he would take the time to pull wrestlers aside and give them advice and everything, even before he was in a higher position where that was part of his job to do that. So to see him work his way up to being one of the, I don’t even know what he is now.
At ECW, he ran everything. So to see him do that on a bigger platform with WWE, and I know he’s making bank. For all those dreams and sacrifices from back in the day, it paid off.
Paul Heyman was the first inductee for the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame and it is now known that he will be joined by Bull Nakano and The U.S. Express. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Why Horace Vandergelder. That is the nicest thing you have ever said to me. Ha ha.
A few months ago, we were trying to settle on a movie to watch on a Saturday night. After perusing Disney+ for a few minutes, we settled on Hello, Dolly!. Ashley had seen the movie, but I had not. I was aware of the cultural significance of the musical and its reference in Wall•e, which has been a family favorite for years.
I immediately fell in love with Hello, Dolly!. I found Walter Matthau to be hilarious and the music to be infectious. Matthau’s character has quite a few great lines, but there was one in particular that has stuck with me ever since: “Dolly Levi, you are a damned exasperating woman.” As soon as I heard it, I knew that it summed up my feelings towards my daughter, Adelaide.
Adelaide is fiercely independent, frustratingly so. She rarely heeds my warnings of potential danger in situations, like when she decided to practice twirling at the top of our stairs. I pleaded with her to practice twirling elsewhere, but she felt the top of the stairs was the perfect place for this. I eventually had to pick her up against her objections. I try to explain my feelings or my concerns. She usually smiles and continues doing what she wants. I raise my voice. There is no change. It’s a constant battle. I want her to be a strong person. I just want her to be a bit more receptive when personal safety is on the line.
I love her dearly. She is already three years old and it’s happening way too fast. I plead with time to slow down, but time is about as obstinate as Adelaide. I recently sat with her and just watched her twirl. Her twirls are beautiful, even if a little clumsy. I really needed her to finish getting her pajamas on for bed, but I just watched. I asked her a few times to finish getting her pajamas on, but she smiled and kept twirling. I considered raising my voice, but doing so wouldn’t help and would only make me feel bad later. I sat and watched. She finally walked over, gave me a kiss, and finished changing into her pajamas. Progress. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Macintosh Classic Restoration: Chapter One
A few years back, a coworker kept a Macintosh Classic on his desk as an adornment. I was unfamiliar with the machine or what it was like to use one, but I loved the look of the machine. The first Apple computer I used was the Apple II, which we used in elementary school. We mostly used these machines for academic games and word processing. Between that time and my first Apple computer (the first generation MacBook Pro), I did not even touch another Apple computer. Although I was not given the chance to own or use one, I became enamored with Apple computers when the iMac G3 was launched. I wanted an iMac, but it was, sadly, out of our budget.
As we were preparing to move office spaces, we were asked to cull our personal items. We would have less personal space in the new office, which meant space was at a premium. My coworker was preparing to part with his Macintosh Classic. I learned that it was not functional and he did not care to take it home. To spare it from the e-waste bin, I took the machine home.
I had planned on keeping it as a desk adornment in my home office. For over two years, that is what I did. However, over the past year I started reading more about 68k Macintoshes. I found communities of people who have great affection for these machines. Some will lovingly restore the machines to working order. The bug bit me and towards the end of 2020 I decided I wanted to do the same.
For Christmas, I received an iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit. With this kit, I proceeded to pop open the Macintosh Classic to assess the state of the machine. The case was incredibly difficult to remove. In the walkthroughs I had watched on Youtube, the case slide off easily. This was my first clue that something was amiss. After thirty minutes or so, I finally had the case off. I was horrified to find rust. The metal chassis had quite a bit of rust, especially the part of the chassis that the cased mounted to with screws. That explained the difficulty in removing the case. Before removing the case, I had noted a knocking noise when moving the computer around. I soon found the culprits: the remnants of the PRAM battery and a capacitor were rolling around freely in the case. My guess is the PRAM battery acid corroded the metal chassis. I had heard and read stunning stories on the amount of damage these batteries can do.
I started inspecting the boards. The logic board looked pretty clean. I still need to remove the PRAM battery cradle, but I was relieved to see the logic board to be in good shape. Somehow the acid from the battery had avoided damaging the board. The analog board looked clean as well. I found a missing capacitor there, which explained the loose capacitor in the case. Now that I could see the boards looked clean, I decided to move forward. I would need all new capacitors (these are the most common failure points) and the tools to replace the capacitors (hello soldering iron). Over the past month, I acquired these items. Now I was ready to get down to business.

ReallyB2B | Pimp My Boiler
The agency ReallyB2B approached us to help them with the 3D side of the ADEY campaign. ReallyB2B provided a multitude of image references for mood, sketch drawings, style and lighting.
The campaign theme took influence from the retro MTV show Pimp My Ride hosted by rapper Xzibit. In the show old cars in poor condition are pimped up, restored and customized. The ADEY “Pimp My Boiler” campaign wanted to show how a customer could increase the boilers life and reduce costs. Visually showing this by adding features such as spoilers, aerofoils and vinyl added to existing boilers achieved the desired effect.
The best way to approach the brief was kitbashing. Kitbashing involves making a pack of 3d elements which can be reused through the project to create multiple variations of the 3d model. Intricate details such as bolts, vent grids and wielding was also built in 3d.
The kitbash elements were UV unwrapped to aid the texture mapping process as you will see there were many variations regarding the texture on the boiler unit from stripes, flames, stars and more.
The materials created are highly detailed with displacement, clear coat, carbon fibre, worn damage. The several materials were created and then blended these into a single complex material using a mixture of masking and fall off techniques.
The psd holding all the imagery consisted of the composited 3d renders with additional effects added such as colour correction and smoke from the exhaust.
The images supplied to ReallyB2B are on a variety of platforms and formats from digital banners, social media posts, pdfs, infographics, direct mail and more. The campaign won the Gold International B2B Marketing Awards for best customer insight and reached an audience over 460K+.
We 3D modelled various elements to create a kit of parts.
Exhausts created highly detailed with bolts and welding.
3D modelled Vents
Piping created which is than deformed to shape

NON-US ORDERS WILL LIKELY NOT ARRIVE BEFORE DEC 24 - CANADIAN ORDERS EXTRA-DELAYED DUE TO STRIKE
They started at night. Mysterious Homicides. What could they mean??
Find out with this educational poster from history, created for Brandon Bird's "These are their Stories" gallery show.
Check out a bigger (but less colorful) version of this poster here! This poster is about 15" x 22" and is printed on high-quality Epson Enhanced Matte paper. Suitable for framing and gazing upon during times of despair and/or loneliness.
Ships rolled in a plastic sleeve, inside a sturdy 3" cardboard tube.
Please refer to these charts before ordering if you are not familiar with the brand of shirt it is printed on! The style of shirt should be identified in the description. Ladies shirt sizes can be especially zany, as many ladies have no doubt noticed in stores. The Human Bird and Paperklip even made an incredibly charming video about those.
One thing to keep in mind American Apparel, Royal Apparel, and Alternative Apparel all run about a size smaller than their Gildan/Hanes counterparts. Ladies 2XLs are pretty small, and if you were to be in the market for a Ladies 3XL, the size basically picks back up at Unisex Large. The cut is slightly different but the message is the same: you are cooler than everyone else.
Packages—if all items are in stock—usually leave our Western Massachusetts warehouse within 1 - 4 business days. However, if one of your items is currently on Short Delay/Reprinting that means it is currently in production, it may take up to three weeks to ship, but usually much quicker. If you need something for a specific time/event, or would like to split your order, please submit a Support Ticket and we'll see what we can do.
We also don't require delivery signatures unless you specifically request it.
We currently ship things a couple of different ways.
We ship things internationally using DHL eCommerce!
Packages ship in 1-4 business days if not indicated Short Delay. You will be responsible for import taxes, customs, VAT, and other country-specific fees upon receipt of your package. We offer DHL Parcel eCommerce shipping options for if you're in a low to medium rush, and USPS Priority Express international for when you need something ASAP and money is of no concern to you. They're priced according to speed and tracking accuracy.
Please note that we cannot mark packages as "Gifts" to help you evade customs, as that's international mail fraud and they'll throw us in jail which is pointless in a way since no jail can hold us. It is however very inconvenient.

5 g•kg-1 BW) in two feedings and studied the effects after 4 hours. Differences in gastric emptying rates Combretastatin A4 order between solid and liquid food may further change the learn more respective appearance rates. Also, independent of the form, the splanchnic clearance rates of EAAs are not the same, so entry of amino acids into plasma will not match the ratio contained in the food . Liquid carbohydrate-protein and carbohydrate-free AA supplementation has been studied with respect to effects on protein synthesis, but direct comparisons between solid and liquid food are not as available [14, 46, 57]. The increase in Akt and mTOR phosphorylation, and increased glycogen in the current research,
suggests that the solid whole grain cereal cleared the GI tract and was sufficiently available to the exercised muscle within 60 minutes after Cereal. A possible limitation in our study design was the timing of the second muscle biopsy. Glycogen and protein synthesis occur at different rates, but prior research has not identified an optimal measurement strategy to detect concurrent changes. We considered 60 minutes post treatment to be sufficient to observe changes in both glycogen levels and proteins involved in translation initiation, the rate-limiting step in protein
synthesis. Ivy, IKK inhibitor et al. compared carbohydrate and carbohydrate-protein supplementation effects on glycogen levels after endurance exercise, testing glycogen at multiple ADP ribosylation factor time points using 13C-NMR. The glycogen accretion after a carbohydrate-protein and isocarbohydrate beverage differed between 20 and 60 minutes then converged at 2 hours. Their post exercise glycogen levels were lower and caloric content of the food higher compared to the current study, which can increase the synthesis rate during the first hour of recovery [35, 58, 59]. The rate of glycogen storage in the current study was suboptimal,
even with supplementation, because the moderate cycling exercise did not deplete the glycogen level to support the maximal replenishment rate . However, with the higher amount of active glycogen synthase and phosphorylated Akt in Cereal, we may have seen a greater amount of glycogen storage with additional supplementation and subsequent muscle biopsies. Increased phosphorylation of proteins involved in protein synthesis has been observed within 30 minutes of both solid and liquid supplementation. Vary and Lynch biopsied rested rats at 30 and 60 minutes after feeding a mixed meal. Although phosphorylation of mTOR, Akt and p70S6K remained elevated at 60 minutes compared to pre-feeding levels, phosphorylation was highest at 30 minutes. Research in our lab has shown significant increase in phosphorylation of mTOR and rpS6 in humans 45 minutes after post-exercise supplementation . Our results suggest that 60 minutes was sufficient to show a change in these proteins, but we may have not observed peak phosphorylation after supplementation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Drive-By Dunk Challenge Leaves No Driveway Rim Unjammed
It's the "stuff" of legends.
The #DriveByDunkChallenge has been circulating on Twitter and Instagram for almost a week now and features people pulling up to random baskets outside of homes, dunking and then speeding off before anyone catches you.
Somewhere, Dr. J, the founding father of glorious dunks, is smiling.
Basketball stars and regular folks alike have taken part in the fad, which does not always go according to plan. Heck, even Kentucky coach John Calipari got in on the fun. Not surprisingly, he did one dunk and was done. That's symbolically appropriate, wouldn't you say? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
This is Sharon, my mother-in-law.
She taught me it’s important work to see someone for who they are and not what you expect.
When I first met my mother-in-law I had a hard time understanding her thick south Virginia accent. And she seemed a little bossy in that southern passive-aggressive polite way. But I knew she was important to the love of my life, so I accepted her grudgingly as some of us do when family is forced on us.
After 5 years I still didn’t really know her.
When my wife got leukemia at 30. When our world was shattered and changed forever, Sharon very quietly and very firmly stepped into the role she was born for. She moved, with her dependent Vietnam vet husband, into our house and became Michele’s caretaker too.
Over the last two years, she bought most of the groceries, cooked almost every meal, did most of the laundry and cleaning, drove both dependents to almost every one of the 300+ doctor appointments, sorted tens of thousands of pills, and made sure they were all taken on time at every hour every day.
And she did this when she herself was diagnosed with cancer 6 months ago. When she was getting a mastectomy. When she is going through chemo.
She hums when she works. She talks to herself when there’s no one to listen,and she goes about every day with humility and grace.
I took this photo before I left work this morning. She didn’t know I was there.
This, friends, is what greatness looks like in a quiet moment. Waiting on oatmeal to cook for her daughter for the 300th time since she got sick.
Not everyone gets to have a real-world superhero in their lives.
And for this I am filled with gratitude every day.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

An internet Troll is a disgusting, narcissistic and sadistic creature that takes great pleasure in making you as miserable as he/she is. They often conduct their campaigns of sleaze from the safe confines of their mothers basement, a filthy toilet stall in a high school or while sponging free wifi as they sip their Venti Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato, Sugar-Free Syrup, Extra Shot, Light Ice, No Whip in an over-priced, hipster d-bag coffee shop.
BE CAREFUL! Stop reading for a moment and look closely at what ever type of device you are currently using. You may catch a glimpse of one. Squint your eyes a little and gaze beyond the pretty colors, the accumulated grease, grime and oily fingerprints on your screen. THERE… in the sidebar! Did you see it? His beady little black eyes staring back at you? Maybe you missed him, but he’s there. . . waiting. . . watching.
My recent encounter with a Troll is a text-book example of “troll-ery”. On one of my most recent Instagram posts, Troll posted a backhanded and indirect comment that I was meant to see. So there I was, scrolling, reading and replying to comments, a task I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of times. Then I saw it. The comment was not directed at me, but it was definitely aimed in my direction.
Without getting too deep into the actual conversation, Troll had implied that I knowingly and willfully copied another artists style. Troll went on to state that nothing is sacred anymore and how that included his own “business”. Not only had I stolen another artists work, now I was ruining Trolls sacred business.
“WHAT?” , was my first reaction, quickly followed by “WHO THE &*#@!^%& DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS?”
And there it was. Exactly the reaction Troll was trying to evoke from me. Troll doesn’t know me, Troll never posted a comment in my feed prior to this and Troll has absolutely no clue how vehemently opposed I am to the theft of intellectual property. But Troll got me.
Angry, enraged, livid, embittered, exasperated are just a few of the words I’ll use to describe how I felt. It’s nearly impossible to defend yourself on the internet and if the phrase “perception is reality” applies anywhere, it thrives on the web.
What to do? Branded a thief and convinced x_captain_kaos_x was going to be trashed online I prepared to delete my account. I’d had a good ride, Instagram was fun… I guess I’ll build a website and start from scratch with that. Sure hope I can build some sort of following. Sure hope someone sees my work.
Thankfully it did not come to that. Instead, my friends (and I mean friends) came to my defense. Eventually, the artist whose work I was accused of stealing even stepped up. He said he wasn’t claiming any type of theft and even liked my picture. Wow! I was one tap away from deleting the account that held 1,378 pictures until decency prevailed. But now I realized I had completely succumbed to the power of Troll.
I wasn’t deleting my account out of spite, selfishness or self-pity. I was doing it from a self-preservation standpoint. I, just like many other artists, put a lot of time and effort into the work I create. When I look through my Instagram gallery it makes me happy and I truly enjoy the interactions with friends and followers that occur after I post something. To watch all of that be destroyed by an off-handed remark from some “internet tough guy” would have been devastating. So… rather than watch it die a horrible death, I was going to kill it myself.
As pathetic as this may sound, I would be one sorry-a** toyphotographer without Instagram to go to during the day.
The Trolls are out there people. They have but one mission in their sad little life and that is to make you feel as horrible as they do. But steel yourself against them and pay them no heed. Turn your back, delete that comment, block that account, raise the moat and light the fires. Trolls have no power unless you give it to them and I intend to never give in again.
YOU must do the SAME!
Thank you to everyone that came to my defense yesterday and a HUGE thank you to Bill Ludwig for stepping up and completely destroying Trolls accusation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A team of international experts ranging from epidemiologists to computer modellers should be created to quickly identify global health threats and improve co-ordination between countries, Bill Gates has said, warning that greater investment is needed to avoid another pandemic.
The Microsoft founder and philanthropist, who in 2015 first cautioned publicly that the world was not ready for the inevitable next pandemic, said his proposed Global Epidemic Response and Mobilization initiative should be managed by the World Health Organization.
As the war in Ukraine dominates the international agenda, Gates urged global leaders not to lose sight of the health crisis. He called for greater investment to prevent future pandemics. “It seems wild to me that we could fail to look at this tragedy and not, on behalf of the citizens of the world, make these investments,” Gates told the Financial Times.
More than 6.2mn worldwide are estimated to have died from Covid-19 since late January 2020, shortly before the WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
He acknowledged there were questions over whether an international consensus could be reached to increase funding for WHO, which he believed was the only body that could build and manage the “top-notch” GERM team for which the running costs, he estimated, would be around $1bn a year.
“The amount of money involved is very small compared to the benefit and it will be a test: can global institutions take on new responsibilities in an excellent way, even in a time period where US-China [relations are] tough, US-Russia is extremely tough?” said Gates
The WHO had “less than 10 full-time people” working on outbreak preparedness, said Gates, adding that “even those people are distracted with many other activities”.
“The current WHO funding is not at all serious about pandemics,” he said.
Gates, who argued that there was an urgent need for longer-lasting vaccines that blocked infection, stressed that the current pandemic still posed a threat.
“We’re still at risk of this pandemic generating a variant that would be even more transmissive and even more fatal,” he said. “It’s not likely, I don’t want to be a voice of doom and gloom, but it’s way above a 5 per cent risk that this pandemic, we haven’t even seen the worst of it.”
Gates, whose book How to Prevent the Next Pandemic is published on Tuesday, expressed his hope that the UK would not further reduce its contribution to foreign aid funding, suggesting this could lead to other nations engaging in their own retrenchment which could jeopardise key global public health programmes.
The UK’s decision last year to reduce its annual aid budget from 0.7 per cent, to 0.5 per cent, of gross national income was “a disappointment”. It meant areas such as polio and reproductive health had been cut.
“We’re down to the bare minimum, and if the UK cuts more, then others will do as well,” said Gates. “That would be tragic because . . . all that money saves lives for less than $1,000 per life saved.”
He said the UK remained a big donor to the vaccine alliance Gavi and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Did you receive a speeding ticket in Westwego?
Call me before you pay that ticket!
Call: (504) 547-7776 – 100% Free Consultation
Getting a Westwego speeding ticket can happen to anyone and be very frustrating. Most people think the best thing to do is just pay the speeding ticket and get it over with. When you pay a ticket you are essentially pleading guilty and directly affecting your driving record. This in turn can increase your insurance rates every month for many years.
That is why you are better off in the long run to hire a Westwego traffic attorney to fight this ticket for you. The goal of a traffic attorney is to get the ticket dismissed or reduced to a non moving violation. If you plead guilty to a non moving violation then it doesn’t hurt your driving record. Some examples of non moving violations are expired MVI (brake tag) or equipment violation.
Where is the Westwego Mayors court located?
The Westwego Mayors court is located at 410 4th St, Westwego, LA 70094.
Why should you hire a Westwego traffic lawyer instead of paying the ticket?
- We go to court for you! For most things we can go to court for you and you can focus on what’s important! Most people don’t realize for one ticket you may be required to go to court for 3 different dates especially if you go to trial.
- We fight to keep moving violations off your record and keep your insurance rates low. If you plead guilty it will affect your driving record and rates will most likely increase.
- We can also help get court fees reduced in many cases. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Last activity day in Norway. The Kjeragbolten hike. We started the hike very early in the morning. In fact we were the first at the expensive parking lot (300NOK).
The hike itself is 5,8km one way and 530m of elevation. Not too crazy, but some parts were very steep and secured by chains (necessary). When we arrived at the Kjeragbolten there were 2 other people around so pretty easy considering the masses up there in summer.
To get onto the (sandy) stone you have to do a big step and be careful not to slip. Crazy.

In just the last few months, LS Gill volunteered at the Bluenose Marathon as SONAR, the RCN Mascot, he’s cycled across New Brunswick with his shipmates as part of the Sailors for Wishes fundraiser in support of the Children’s Wish Foundation, and he was also the most junior sailor to represent the RCN and CAF at the 2018 International Four Days Marches Nijmegen.
That impressive resume of community involvement and outside activities is part of the reason LS Gill was selected as the CANFLTLANT Sailor of the Quarter for Q2 2018. Cmdre Craig Skjerpen, Commander CANFLTLANT, and Fleet Chief CPO1 Tim Blonde visited Fredericton’s shore office in Shearwater on August 22 to officially make the presentation, along with handing out promotions and medals to other members of the ship’s company.
“It’s nice to get the recognition, but it’s definitely a surprise. It’s always fun to be out and about in the communities and staying busy, and I just do these things as they come up, because I enjoy it,” LS Gill said.
With the Sailors for Wishes event, which wrapped up in New Brunswick in early August, he was part of an HMCS tragique team that raised nearly $70,000 for Children’s Wish from August 3-10. Cycling across a province, however, may have seemed like a breeze compared to the physical challenge of the Nijmegen marches, which LS Gill attended as part of the MARLANT team from July 17-20, marching 160 kilometres over four days through the Netherlands alongside thousands of military and civilian participants from around the world.
“It was absolutely the experience of a lifetime. Being the only Able Seaman from Canada was also special, with hard sea trades being notoriously under-represented in Nijmegen. I wasn’t just there representing myself, but also the Navy and the Fleet,” he said, adding that the camaraderie among the tri-service team helped ease the pain of the grueling training schedule and physically demanding 40km days.
“The training was difficult, but it was more than worth it in the end, and we’ll all be friends for life after going through it together.”
LS Gill was just promoted to his current rank weeks ago, and while his status as a junior sailor in a shore office means sea time has been limited, he’s still found ways to set himself apart as a member of the crew. He’s stepped up to promote fitness among the ship’s company as Fredericton’s Force Test Coordinator, and his work ethic as a junior Weapons Engineer has allowed him move through his training packages ahead of schedule. With his ship currently undergoing its scheduled docking work period, making progress on training becomes more difficult, LS Gill said.
“But if you’re a bit of a keener, and you can keep yourself motivated, you can give yourself a push and work a little harder. I’ve been making the most of the shore office.”
His shipmates agreed, and in nominating LS Gill for the award, his supervisor, PO2 Craig Baker, noted that he’s already been teaching other junior sailors aspects of his trade, and said he’ll be an exceptional help to tragique as the ship prepares for the reactivation of its CSE systems.
PO2 Baker said LS Gill’s professionalism and dedication have set an example for others to follow, and that he couldn’t think of a sailor more deserving of the recognition.
“He consistently performs at the highest standard and his dedication is a tremendous asset to tragique and the RCN.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Terry McInturff is a true Renaissance Man. He is a scientist. He is a sound engineer. He is a woodworker. He is an astronomer. He is an artist. He is a painter. He is an inventor. He is an innovator.
But most importantly, HE IS A GUITAR PLAYER WHO PERSONALLY HAND BUILDS GUITARS.
Terry built his first guitar in 1977 a set neck double-cut that featured an unusual (for the time) scale length of 25.125”. It proved to be the original prototype for what became an entire line of McInturff guitars. After becoming a Master Luthier and working for major guitar makers such as Hamer, in 1996 he started his own "high end" professional guitar manufacturing corporation. This allowed him to share some of the daily tasks with a staff of highly skilled woodworkers and technicians. Still it was Terry who did most of the final neck shaping, finish work, and set up. His hands were, and continue to be, the last hands to touch one of his creations before leaving his shop.
Please note that he continues to refer to his shop as "his shop". It is not a manufacturing plant. It is HIS shop and these are HIS guitars. And they are incredible professional instruments that play and sound only as the "best guitar" should.
Acclaim comes to those who excel in their professions and that is true with Terry. His work has been featured in virtually all of the world's leading guitar-oriented publications, such as Guitar Player (which has awarded Terry two Editor's Pick Awards), Guitarist, Guitar World, Premier Guitar, etc. Notable owners of McInturff guitars include Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Brad Whitford (Aerosmith), Brad Delsen (Linkin Park), Marshall Crenshaw, David Hidalgo (Los Lobos), Chuck Garvey (.moe), Danny Flowers, Jeff Beck, and many others.
But what has impressed us the most is Terry's integrity and dedication to his guitar players. As each guitar is sold, Terry's family has grown larger. You are gaining a personal relationship with its maker when you buy a TCM guitar. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
BRANTFORD — OPP say they have dismantled four organized crime networks in Southern Ontario after an eight month investigation into firearms and drug trafficking.
On March 9, police executed a total of 11 search warrants, including 4 in Brantford and others in London, Ancaster, Paris, St. Thomas, Oakland and Barrie.
Investigators from the Brantford Police Service including members of BPS Emergency Response Team (ERT), K-9 Unit, Street Crime Unit and the Criminal Intelligence Unit were all involved in the successful execution of the Project Weaver search warrants issued in Brantford.
Police seized a total of 31 firearms, 81 grenades and two grenade launchers, 22 other prohibited devices and 3 explosive projectiles.
A large quantity of drugs was also seized including 10.85 kilograms of cocaine, 36 pounds of psilocybin and 715 grams of MDMA.
Illegal cannabis products including 216 pounds of illegal cannabis, five pounds of hash and more than $10,000 in other illegal cannabis products were seized.
An additional $127,757 in Canadian Currency and $2,106 in US currency along with eight vehicles were confiscated by police as part of the investigation.
A total of 10 people have been charged with 268 offences including two men from Brantford.
Jayme Hill, 31, of Brantford was arrested and remanded into police custody. He is facing 23 charges including: four counts of trafficking cocaine, three counts of possession of a firearm, three counts of weapons trafficking, and possession of cannabis for the purposes of distribution.
Brandon Spaulding, 31, also of Brantford is facing a total of 50 charges including two counts of possession of explosives, 12 counts of weapons trafficking, 11 counts of possession of a firearm, six counts of possession of a prohibited device, and two counts of trafficking cocaine.
Ryan Daigneault, 44 of London, Daniel Bell, 33 of St. Thomas; Daniel Boris, 42, of Strathroy; Cindy Klassen, 35, of St. Thomas; Stacey Scaman, 40, of London; Micheal Caron, 47, of London, Alicia Lewis-Haynes, 36, of Paris; and Sean Sutherland, 32, of Ancaster were also arrested as part of Project Weaver and are facing an additional 195 charges for weapons and drug trafficking.
The OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau, Biker Enforcement Unit and Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit along with assistance from the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service say they worked together in the investigation, dubbed Project Weaver.
The four networks included members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club in the London area responsible for trafficking cocaine in large quantities; a criminal network trafficking firearms and cannabis in the London area; a criminal network responsible for trafficking cocaine and firearms in the Brantford area; and a criminal network engaged in trafficking offensive weapons, explosive devices and cocaine in Brantford including grenades and a grenade launcher.
Police say the explosives are not from the Canadian Military and they are confident they have identified the source.
Police are continuing to identify the sources of the firearms and say some originated domestically in Canada and some have an origin in the United States.
“Project WEAVER has revealed the availability of truly alarming offensive weapons and firearms, which compromise the safety of the citizens of Ontario. It is imperative that law enforcement continue the fight against illegal firearms and those who choose to engage in their trafficking. The OPP is committed to a safe and secure Ontario and this investigation has prevented numerous illegal firearms, weapons and large quantities of drugs from reaching our communities,” said OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If a click Is priced very high, would that make a difference in the quality of the leads? What determines the price? Does the cheapest price per click mean the result will be impacted?
I never pay the lowest CPC... I test, change and measure Cost Per Sale... The lowest CPC is usually the highest CPS. So my recommendation is to optimize your funnel for the highest CPS, not the lowest CPC
If all you do is buy or sell based on the price you will not make money. Ive been doing this since 2005 and made millions. All via product launches and email.
Best of luck

Great answer! Thanks for sharing Bill.
Billy Montes (Lead Generation Is My Specialty)
So can you teach us what you know so we could do the same?
Ha now I am a newbie here and I see this( I did 3 big product launches in 2 years..that list is now for sale) how could this help me? I do not understand?
Mark, the idea is that you track all your clicks through the entire sales process.
Optimize your funnel to get the highest optin rate and your follow ups to get the most engagement and sales.
Over time you'll be able to tell which sources give you the lowest cost per sale. That's what your ultimate goal is to get the sale, not the initial click.
If you just buy the lowest CPC you can find, and send the visitors directly to a sales page you'll quickly go broke.
My list is made up of leads from these product launches. If people sell trash traffic for .30 a click here, I will sell my traffic at Traffic4Me. I've been doing this since 2005…. Selling for a lower price is not a good strategy….unless you are in a hurry to go broke. Don’t believe me GOOD LUCK
It's like saying….I want to go broke faster than the next guy,...
The answer to your question is “Not necessarily.”
Someone may sell clicks at a high price claiming that their traffic is off superior quality based on optins and upfront sales, but there’s really no way to tell until you have figured out cost per sale as Bill said, or to go a step further, lifetime value.
Optins and upfront sales don’t really mean much.
People place way too much value on high optin rates and upfront sales.
Upfront sales are generally $7 “trip-wire” offers.
Paying $80 for 100 clicks to get 50 leads and a $7 sale and thinking you’ve won would be silly.
You must test various sellers and figure out cost per sale and lifetime value or you will find yourself going broke.
Price per click is only relevant in so far as it affects cost per sale and lifetime value.
Price per click has nothing to do with quality.
Unless the price per click is extremely low.
Generally people who sell clicks for $0.25 and lower have built their lists from cheap, low-quality sources like mobile pop traffic.
Good thing you won't have that problem here as UDIMI has set the lowest PPC to $0.40.
I would say all traffic sold on here is decent traffic.
You just have to keep testing and figuring out which sellers' traffic is best for your offer/s in terms of cost per sale and lifetime value. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A grieving tattoo fan came up with a unique way of marking his father's death - by having his ashes inked onto his arm.
When William Mullane's father, William Snr, passed away aged 73 on Christmas Day, the 21-year-old wanted to pay his dad the ultimate tribute.
So to make sure his father always remained by his side he had his portrait tattooed on to his right arm - with his dad's ashes mixed in to the ink.
After the seven-hours it took for the portrait of William Snr, from his wedding day, his son says he is 'delighted' with the result.
The proud son said: 'I was very close to my dad and this way he will always be with me. He will literally be with me forever.
'I had photographs of him but I can't have them with me all the time.
'We had an excellent relationship and I was with him every day in the last few months of his life.'
William Snr., a retired delivery driver, passed away after a four month battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which had spread throughout his lungs.
During that time William spent his days by his father's side while working night time shifts to keep the money coming in.
The family's heartache was compounded by the death of William Snr's mother-in-law Peggy Dorey, aged 90, from cancer.
William's mother Maria, 57, a Waitrose cashier, was so heartbroken the dutiful son decided to have the tattoo done as a tribute from the whole family.
Loving husband and father William Snr, from Wapping, London, had two other children, four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
His ashes were ground into an ink paste at the Inkfish Studio in Maidstone, Kent, which then carried out the agreed sketch on William's right upper arm.
Expert tattooist Brendan Mudd admitted revealed William's design was the first time he had been asked to use someone's ashes in his tattoo ink.
Mr Mudd said: 'It is a tiny bit of extra work for me to mash up the ashes, but that is all. I feel quite flattered and honoured to help people with these kind of memorials.' | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Long-range missiles are crucial for Ukraine to destroy targets deep within Russian territory, disrupting Russia’s logistics and slowing its offensive operations.
Western sources close to Washington report that Ukraine may soon receive new weaponry for its F-16 aircraft, which began missions in Ukrainian airspace in August 2024. The focus is on the GM-158 JASSM (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile).
What is the JASSM missile?
This air-to-surface missile’s primary advantage is its powerful long-range capability. It is a subsonic missile with a 450 kg warhead and a total weight of 1020 kg. The missile’s range varies, with the JASSM-ER version capable of striking targets up to 980 km away.
Ukraine might receive missiles with a shorter range—approximately 230 miles (370 km). Although this is significantly less than the missile’s maximum capability, it still represents a crucial enhancement for Ukraine’s defense. Here’s why:
Deep strikes: This range allows Ukraine to reach targets on the Crimean Peninsula, where hundreds of Russian military bases, airfields, air defense systems, and logistical centers are located. It enables strikes deep behind the front lines in the partially occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Increased arsenal: Ukraine currently has one long-range air-to-surface missile, the Storm Shadow/SCALP, provided by the UK and France. Another option is the American ATACMS, launched from ground-based platforms. The introduction of the JASSM would expand the variety of Ukraine’s strike capabilities, effectively increasing the number of available missiles.
Whether Ukraine will receive a substantial number of these missiles remains unclear. Reports indicate that the U.S. defense industry can produce about 40-50 JASSM missiles per month, totaling over 500 units annually, though the number of 230-mile versions is unspecified. Regardless, this would significantly boost Ukraine’s defense, with the added advantage of using existing platforms—F-16 aircraft, which can carry two of these missiles each.
What are the strategic priorities?
Ukraine’s top request from its partners for long-range weaponry is the ability to strike targets deep into Russian territory. Long-range missiles can destroy Russian military airfields and aircraft up to 200 km beyond the border, with estimates suggesting at least 20 airfields could be targeted. Neutralizing these would diminish Russian air activity and reduce the use of precision-guided bombs against Ukrainian military positions and civilian targets.
Whether Ukraine will receive permission to use the GM-158 JASSM for such strikes remains unknown, but it would greatly enhance Ukraine’s defense. JASSM missiles are far more effective than drones and can cause significant damage. Russian air power is a key element of their advantage, so reducing both their aircraft and their supporting infrastructure would strengthen Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus) is a small, brownish-gray bird native to much of North America. It is the official state bird of Vermont, adopted in 1941. It is a member of the thrush family, and is closely related to other species of thrushes, such as the Swainsonâs, Wood, and Veery thrushes.
The Hermit Thrush is a shy and solitary bird, but can sometimes be seen in small flocks in the winter. The Hermit Thrush is especially abundant in the forests of Vermont, where it has been a part of the landscape for centuries. The bird has long been admired by Vermonters for its melodious and varied song. The song of the Hermit Thrush is said to be one of the most beautiful of all bird songs, and is said to evoke a sense of peace and contentment.
The Hermit Thrush has been a symbol of Vermont for many years. In 1941, it was designated as the official state bird of Vermont, and since then it has become a symbol of the stateâs natural beauty and independence. The bird is also featured prominently in literature, art, and song, and is a source of inspiration for many Vermonters.

Texas’ coronavirus response has evolved over the past few months on account of the rapidly changing situation, and the state’s universities have adopted different approaches to combatting the pandemic.
The state has seen over 800,000 confirmed cases so far and upwards of 17,000 fatalities. In early October, Governor Greg Abbott issued new guidelines to reopen some public venues at 75% capacity and allowed the resumption of elective surgeries in certain counties.
Texas universities have also been making efforts to resume operations while keeping students and faculty safe. UT System schools are offering classes in online, in-person and hybrid formats. This limits the number of people on campus and allows students who are not comfortable returning to campus to stay home. UT San Antonio is offering live tech support from 7:30 AM to 6 PM on weekdays to help students navigate their virtual classes.
Both UT Austin and UTSA are quantifying their level of campus operations on a scale from fully on-campus to fully virtual. UT Austin is currently at level three on their five-level reopening scale. UTSA also lists their status as level three, but on a four-level scale.
Many UT System schools now require a daily self-assessment of students and employees on campus to see if they are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or have recently come into contact with anyone who has reported symptoms.
“We have a Dean of Students team of campus tracers who follow up with each student that reports these things,” said Amanda Smith, dean of students and associate vice president for student affairs.
However, these assessments vary in their level of thoroughness. UTA’s self-assessment tool requires a temperature check, while UTD (through their Daily Health Check) and UT Austin simply ask students to report their symptoms. UT Austin has taken the idea of the self-assessment one step further with its Protect Texas Together app. This app allows students to log their symptoms as well as what buildings they have visited on campus to aid contact tracers should they test positive. Contacts identified through such means will receive test results within a 15-minute window so that they don’t have to quarantine unnecessarily.
All UT system schools have placed limits on gatherings taking place on campus. In an Aug. 21 announcement from Student Affairs, UTD announced that all in-person gatherings held by student organizations would be strictly prohibited until further notice – with a few exceptions. UT Austin’s restrictions are a little less stringent: they have limited campus events to 10 attendees or fewer unless a larger event is approved. UT Austin and UTD have made similar changes to their academic calendar this semester. At both schools, all in-person instruction will be ending before Thanksgiving. Any final exams or remaining instruction will be conducted remotely to prevent students from traveling home for Thanksgiving and potentially bringing the virus back to campus.
Students and employees at UT System schools can access coronavirus testing on or near campus. UT Austin’s proactive community testing program provides free testing even for those who have not shown symptoms or been exposed to COVID-19. The program was created to isolate asymptomatic carriers and has thus far identified 246 of the campus’ 1474 total known coronavirus cases. As a larger school, UT Austin anticipated the high volume of coronavirus tests they would have to conduct. This summer, they purchased three robots that sort saliva samples and quickly identify viral genetic material.
UTSA offers free testing for current students who show symptoms and complete a telemedicine evaluation. The results of these tests are available in one to three days. Off-campus testing is available to all students, faculty, and staff – even those who are not symptomatic – and results are received within 24 hours. UTSA has had 35 positive coronavirus cases so far.
Smith encouraged students who think they might have COVID-19 to get in touch with the Dean of Students office to discuss next steps.
“We have had some students indicate they are afraid to report positives, symptoms or exposure because they are embarrassed or worried about what will happen when they do,” Smith said. “The Dean of Students staff is very sympathetic to the students who report and want only to support them and assist them in keeping themselves and our campus safe.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Teaching as a Foundational Skill
When I step back and look at my career, most, if not all of it can be attributed to the time and effort I’ve put into teaching.
Teaching is a skill and like any skill, it can be honed and developed through experience and thoughtful practice. The impact teaching has had on my career extends far beyond time I’ve spent as a trainer, both in the classroom and on egghead.io.
Teaching is a huge part of how I approach work in more traditional, corporate environments too. For example, my current role requires that I get up to speed and understand complex problems quickly, break them down, come up with proposed solutions, and communicate all of that to audiences with varying levels of technical background. Not only do I have to help people understand the problem and the solution, I have to build consensus around the efficacy and the value of investing in the proposed solution. What might seem like a problem to one group, might fall lower on someone else’s priority. In these situations, I’m essentially selling both the problem and solution by educating my audience. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Nevertheless, extra hardware keyboards seem to be not really the best solution. Of course especially the latest implementations are very well-made and easy to handle. But they seem to be rather designed for longer periods of use than for the average short interactions and work on the go, which is strange considering that portability is the biggest strength of a tablet.
One of the great aspects of your PC’s keyboard is that it’s just always there and directly accessible when needed, but at the same time also never in your way when you don’t need it. Especially virtual, but also hardware keyboards completely break down at this, having to be plugged in first when needed, and in the meantime always be carried around by you.
Instead of coming up with a better solution, manufacturers are apparently trying to temporarily transform your tablet into a laptop. Of course every software solution will still be far away from the typing experience offered by a hardware keyboard, but at least the gap between the two could be significantly smaller.
A virtual keyboard that runs in full-screen and automatically disappears
I think the keyboard presented within this concept is far superior to current solutions and comes at least pretty close to what hardware keyboards offer. The two main aspects are
The user can also temporarily disable this, tapping on the pause button. This might for example be useful when not being sure how to formulate something or otherwise thinking about a sentence. Also, the user can tap on the arrow in the very right of the input field to manually close the keyboard earlier.
An easy way to describe the benefit of this is to imagine filling out a form on a touch device. Currently, you would have to repeatedly focus a field, write something, tap “finish” or touch somewhere else to close it, and then again focus the next field. With the concept keyboard, you could quickly tap on a field and type, and once you’re finished, the keyboard has already disappeared and you can directly and easily focus the next field, much more convenient, faster and more like on the PC.
Secondly, the concept keyboard runs in full-screen, giving space for much larger keys, which would - especially on tablet - lead to a significantly advanced writing experience. It’s intended for professional and fast use with multiple fingers (“touch typing”). Further more, the tablet might for example even be placed horizontally on a table like a hardware keyboard when typing.
Another key aspect is that the keyboard is transparent. While this might seem rather random or for aesthetic reasons at first, it helps the user not losing context when the keyboard is activated and displays a great advance.
Instead of trying to somehow connect with a focused textbox inside an app, the keyboard features it's very own input field. It helps focusing more on writing and leads to a more consistent and stable experience across different apps. The actual input field would simultaneously be updated in the background as well.
Current solutions often awkwardly jump when opening or closing the keyboard, trying to move the input field in center, which leads to a very uncomfortable and for many users also hard to follow experience. The transparency and built-in textbox both solve this problem by separating the keyboard more strictly from the content.
At the end, even though taking much more space, the full-screen keyboard is significantly better at staying in touch with the content.
Phones and portrait mode
When not in landscape, the full-screen feature would of course not make any sense. However, due to many other features - e.g. auto-closing, transparency or the built-in textbox - the keyboard would still display a great improvement also for the use in portrait mode
Even though initially made for tablets, this concept would apparently also work well on phones with mostly the exact same advantages and possibilities.
Further thoughts: Ready for multiple windows
The fact that the keyboard strictly separates keyboard and content make it also ready for the use with multiple windows. This article was also initially actually started to solve the problem of how a keyboard could be implemented in this Windows 9 10 Concept published a few months ago, considering that you just can’t move a textbox in center when windows are placed over and below others, and that it does not make any sense trying to connect keyboards with an app when there are 5 or even more apps visible at the same time.
Summing everything up, I think this concept would havegreat potential, allowing for much more advanced typing and also beyond that heavily increasing the general user experience.
What do you think about this concept? Would you rather want a real hardware keyboard for your tablet or would you be satisfied with this implementation? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Last week the editors of the National Catholic Register offered the following response to the question, “How do I know what my vocation is?” In doing so, they quote Servant of God John A. Hardon, the beloved founder of the Institute on Religious Life.
“A religious vocation is a special grace that God gives to certain persons, calling them to a life of the evangelical counsels,” wrote Jesuit Father John Hardon, whose canonization cause is under way, as chronicled at EWTN.com. “What are some typical features of a true vocation to the religious life? I would emphasize especially three: 1) a strong faith in the Catholic Church and her teaching, shown by a firm loyalty to the Vicar of Christ; 2) a love of prayer, at least the capacity for developing a desire for prayer; and 3) a readiness to give oneself to a life of sacrifice in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. . . . I believe that if every prospective candidate were to make a private retreat, even for a few days, under a competent priest, it would help immensely. The retreat could be especially geared to a person who thinks that he or she has a vocation to the religious life. Then, during the retreat, in an atmosphere of silence and prayer, ask God to enlighten one’s mind as to whether or not he is calling the person to a life of Christian perfection. This, in fact, is one of the original purposes of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius: to discover and decide on one’s state of life.”
Prayer and preparation are also necessary to discern marriage.
“So that the ‘I do’ of the spouses may be a free and responsible act and so that the marriage covenant may have solid and lasting human and Christian foundations, preparation for marriage is of prime importance,” the Catechism states (1632). “The example and teaching given by parents and families remain the special form of this preparation. . . . It is imperative to give suitable and timely instruction to young people, above all in the heart of their own families, about the dignity of married love, its role and its exercise, so that, having learned the value of chastity, they will be able at a suitable age to engage in honorable courtship and enter upon a marriage of their own.”
As the Catechism also states, “Both the sacrament of matrimony and virginity for the Kingdom of God come from the Lord himself” (1620). “It is he who gives them meaning and grants them the grace which is indispensable for living them out in conformity with his will.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

We are a non-profit startup working to create the most comprehensive database of independent films and film festivals, connecting filmmakers with fans and industry leaders. Think IMDb, but exclusively for festival films - with a "Where to Watch" link if the film is already out, and a "Get Notified" button if the film is not yet available for streaming.
During festival screenings, films experience their peak public interest — a time when audience engagement and excitement are at their highest.
Yet, this significant opportunity for attention often remains unexplored, as films typically make their online debut long after their festival appearances.
It’s not just about lost views; it’s about missing out on building a lasting relationship with your audience, the support and engagement that could fuel your next projects.
Vurchel ensures your audience's interest is retained. We alert your fans when the film is ready to stream, maintaining momentum from festivals for wider reach and engagement. With Vurchel, your film's buzz isn't just preserved — it's amplified.

Comments on PFAS in Biosolids Draft Policy Due July 10, 2023
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is accepting comments on a draft policy intended to regulate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) until July 10, 2023. The policy, Draft Division of Materials Management Program Policy 7 – Biosolids Recycling in New York State – Interim Strategy for the Control of PFAS Compounds (DMM7), was created as part of New York State’s ongoing efforts to reduce the impacts that PFAS have on human health and the environment.
How DMM7 Will Help
Biosolids (also called sewage sludge) are organic materials formed from the processing of solid products that enter wastewater treatment plants. Nutrient-rich biosolids are often beneficially used as a soil amendment or compost. When biosolids are recycled through land application, there is the potential for leachate to carry pollutants contained in the biosolids into the groundwater.
The intent of DMM7 is to establish standards for PFAS in biosolids to help reduce potential impacts associated with the leachate. Keeping PFAS levels below an established threshold will reduce the risk of human and environmental harm from leachate migration.
Wastewater discharges from industrial facilities can increase the number of contaminants in biosolids at nearby wastewater treatment plants. PFAS are one of these kinds of contaminants. Michigan has done a lot of research to investigate industrial PFAS impacts on biosolids. New York is basing the standards used in DMM7 on these findings. The DEC’s objective is to identify biosolids that contain elevated concentrations of PFAS due to industrial sources and to require those levels to be reduced to non-industrial background levels before land application is approved.
Expected Requirements for Facilities
Under DMM7, New York State facilities that accept biosolids for beneficial use from any source will be required to characterize the material in an initial sampling event, and then continue to perform sampling periodically. The policy will require PFAS analysis by EPA Method 1633 (or an alternate approved method), with the analytical results reported to the DEC. PFAS requirements for biosolids under DMM7 will be as follows:
- 20 ppb or less: no action required
- Between 20 and 50 ppb: additional sampling required; PFAS levels must be reduced to 20 ppb or lower within a year, or biosolids recycling will be halted
- 50 ppb or greater: biosolids recycling will be halted until PFAS levels are reduced to 20 ppb or lower
In the Future
DMM7 is only an interim plan because the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in the process of finalizing its own set of PFAS guidelines for biosolids, and New York State uses EPA pollutant standards as the basis for its own rules. The guidelines that the EPA is working on are not expected to be finalized until December 2024 at the earliest. Once the EPA publishes its regulations, the DEC will either create a final rule that adopts the EPA’s standards or implement stricter standards. 6 NYCRR Part 361 will be updated with these changes, and at that point, DMM7 will no longer be effective.
Walden’s solid waste engineers have extensive experience keeping our clients in compliance with all regulations that apply to their facilities. We also perform site investigation and remediation services if there is suspected PFAS contamination at your site. To learn more about the upcoming regulations in DMM7 and how they will affect operations at your facility, review the full draft policy here or contact Walden at 516-604-5684. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Pete Townshend Reveals the Only Thing the Who Don’t Argue About
He said that several songs on their upcoming new album explore how advancing years changed him, and how his approach to writing for Daltrey had changed too.
“Growing old includes growing up, even in the rock business,” Townshend told the Dallas News in a new interview. “I listen now to what Roger says, attend to what he needs as an artist and try to be a supportive colleague onstage. I also try to sincerely demonstrate that I love him.”
He noted that he "certainly wrote a few songs specifically about what happens when you get old. But funnily enough, I did a fair bit of that the first time I thought I had got old, when I passed through being 30, in 1975. I think in writing songs that I hoped Roger would connect with, I had to accept that, although we are both old men now, we are very different. So it's the broader issues I ended up writing about. The songs are about what we agree on, and one thing we can't argue about is that we are both old.”
Asked about the biggest misconception of the Who, Townshend said, "That we are, in any way, a heavy rock band. We can do it, but we're closer to prog-rock than, say, Led Zeppelin. On the other hand, there is a part of me that really doesn't give a shit what you think of us. That may be what makes us seem like an old-school rock band: We do our best, but if we fuck up, so be it.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
St. Louis Style Pork Spare Ribs
We finally had a lazy Saturday to hang out at home home this weekend. So the chef used our normal grill to slowly smoke pork spare ribs all day. By the time they were done, they smelled just heavenly. This is a get-your-hands dirty kind of dinner. Enjoy!
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 t. cayenne
1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
1 T. garlic powder
1 T. onion powder
1 T. paprika
1 T. ground mustard
1 slab pork spare ribs
1 cup barbecue sauce
Fill a pan (that you don’t mind ruining) with wood chips and submerge with water. We used a disposable aluminum pan that we had lying around. Soak chips for 25-30 minutes. This will prevent chips from catching fire on the grill.
Mix all dry spices until thoroughly combined. We will use this as a dry rub on the ribs.
Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub. Massage thoroughly to make sure that the rub sticks to the meat. This can be done ahead of time.
Drain the excess water from the pan containing the wood chips. Then cover the pan with aluminum foil. Pierce the foil to add ventilation.
Turn on your grill to high, igniting only one side where you will be placing the wood chips. Transfer the pan of wood chips on top of the grill rack over the high heat. Replace the grill cover. Burn chips until smoke starts to emit.
Once the chips have started smoking, place rib rack onto grill. Reduce heat to low. Replace cover on grill. Let ribs smoke for 2-4 hours.
To determine if the ribs are done, firmly grasp one of the protruding bones and rotate it. If the rib moves easily, then the meat is cooked. Transfer ribs to foil covered baking sheet and coat with barbecue sauce. Place the ribs in a 250 degree oven for 45min – 1 hour.
To serve, follow the ribs as a guideline when cutting portions. This tastes great with corn on the cob and fresh coleslaw!

Hi there! I am Jane Hogan, the Wellness Engineer, and the host of Wellness By Design. I spent 30 years designing foundations for buildings until the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis led me to hang up my hard hat and follow my heart. Now I blend my backgrounds in science and spirituality to teach people how to tap into the power of their mind, body and soul. I help them release pain naturally so they can become the most wonderful fine version of themselves.
Wellness By Design is a show dedicated to helping people achieve wellness not by reacting to the world around them but by intentionally designing a life based on what their own body needs. In this show we explore practices, methods and science that contribute to releasing pain and inflammation naturally.

An 18-year-old black woman has tragically passed away from drowning in Lake Michigan on October 14th. The drowning victim has been identified as Taleah Lowe, according to the Muskegon Chronicle.
The first responders received a call at 10:48 p.m. that a woman was struggling in rip currents in the water off the Pere Marquette Park beach.
“Muskegon Fire Department rescuers were on the water actively searching within 10 minutes of being dispatched,” the Michigan Professional Firefighters Union stated in an online news release.
Muskegon Fire Department, Norton Shores Fire Department and Muskegon County Sheriff’s Department dive teams went searching for the young woman. The U.S. Coast Guard also joined the search for the missing woman.
“Searches were conducted continuously and systematically and at serious risk to responders until the victim was located,” the news release went on to say. “These searches were conducted in the water with rescuers searching by hand in the darkness, by boat using side-scan sonar technology, and by air.”
Around 1:30 a.m. Friday morning, the body of Taleah Lowe was found. An autopsy has been conducted and the public is waiting to hear the results because some of her family members expect foul play.
Lowe went to the beach with two of her classmates at Grand Valley State University. The names of the two individuals are Rachel Paulsen and Chloe Ward.
Taleah Lowe cousin, Isaiah Lane claims Paulson and Ward stories aren’t adding up on his Facebook account. He continues by saying, “How did all of you guys end up in a ‘rip current’ and she is the only girl who died…black at that…and Taleah was never the type to get in no Lake Michigan at 11pm at night!”
Lane also stated in the Facebook post that Paulsen and Ward were trying to get the passcode to Lowe’s phone, which he says her family still has not recovered, and “[packed] up her clothes before they even found her body.”
Paulsen started a GoFundMe page for Taleah Lowe a few days later after she passed. The account has raised a $5,564 dollars. Lowe’s family claims they haven’t received any funds from that account.
Muskegon Police Department recorded the incident as an accidental drowning, and the police report “states there is nothing to indicate foul play,” per the campus police.

I grew up in Muskegon, by Lake Michigan, and I’ll tell you no one in their right mind is going swimming at this time of year. Definitely foul play. Not to mention GV is in Allendale…..full of racist whites. #JusticeforTaleah https://t.co/LhVSQUSEil

Galactic Gardening: Star Wars Glass Terrarium
Welcome to a galaxy far, far away, where the force of nature meets the force of the Star Wars universe. We will embark on a journey to create a stunning Star Wars-themed Terrarium that brings the magic of the iconic franchise into your living space. Whether you are a Jedi master or a Sith Lord, this DIY project is bound to awaken the gardener within you.
- Glass terrarium or Rectangular Glass Block Vase
- Succulents and small plants
- Gravel or Decorative Stones
- Potting soil
- Miniature Star Wars figurines
- Small pebbles or Decorative Sand
- Decorative elements (optional)
- Miniature LED lights (optional)
Step 1: Choose Your Container
Select a Glass Terrarium or container that suits the theme. A dome-shaped terrarium resembling a planet or a Rectangular Glass Block Vase resembling a scene from Star Wars can work well. Ensure it has enough space for your plants and decorations.
Step 2: Select Your Plants
Opt for small, hardy plants like succulents or air plants that require minimal care. Consider the color and texture of the plants to mimic the landscapes of various planets in the Star Wars universe. For example, use succulents with a silvery-blue hue for a Hoth-inspired look.
Step 3: Create the Base
Place a layer of gravel or Decorative Rocks at the bottom of the Glass Terrarium to enhance drainage. Add a layer of potting soil on top, creating a solid foundation for your plants to grow.
Step 4: Arrange the Plants
Plant your chosen succulents or small plants in the soil, arranging them to resemble iconic Star Wars scenes or planets. Create elevation by adding extra soil where needed to give your terrarium a dynamic look.
Step 5: Add Decorative Elements
Enhance the Star Wars theme by strategically placing miniature Star Wars figurines among the plants. Use small pebbles or sand to create pathways or simulate the surface of a Star Wars planet. Feel free to include other decorative elements such as small rocks or crystals to add texture and interest.
Step 6: Illuminate Your Galaxy (Optional)
For an extra touch of magic, incorporate miniature LED lights to simulate stars or create a glowing effect. Place them strategically within the terrarium to add a celestial ambiance, especially in the dark.
Step 7: Maintenance Tips
Ensure your terrarium gets the right amount of sunlight, and water sparingly, as succulents and air plants prefer drier conditions. Regularly check for any signs of overwatering or pests to keep your Star Wars-themed terrarium healthy and vibrant.
Congratulations, gardener of the galaxy! You've successfully brought the Star Wars universe into your living space with a unique and visually stunning Terrarium. May the force be with you as you enjoy the beauty of your creation and let the imaginative landscapes of Star Wars flourish in miniature form. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
