Zhuang Zhou, commonly known as Zhuangzi, was an influential Chinese philosopher who lived around the 4th century BCE during the Warring States period, a period of great development in Chinese philosophy, the Hundred Schools of Thought. He is credited with writing—in part or in whole—a work known by his name, the Zhuangzi, which is one of two foundational texts of Taoism, alongside the Tao Te Ching.
The Warring States period was an era in ancient Chinese history characterized by warfare, bureaucratic and military reform, and political consolidation. It followed the Spring and Autumn period and concluded with the wars of conquest that saw the state of Qin annex all the other contender states by 221 BC and found the Qin dynasty, the first imperial dynasty in Chinese history.

What happens when Game of Thrones veteran Jason Momoa show up at showrunner David Benioff’s birthday party? Everyone gets very, very drunk.
Last month, Game of Thrones showrunner David Benioff invited several of his old cast and crewmates to his 51st birthday party. Hannah Waddingham (Septa Unella) was there, as were Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo) and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen). They even posted pictures of their reunion:
“Oh God, it was beautiful,”Clarke told PEOPLE. “When Jay’s in town, you know it’s going down.”
"He walks into the room and you’re just like, ‘My man.’ It’s almost like a test, every time he sees [me] he’s like, ‘Can I still throw you around the room? Yeah I can.’"
Apparently Momoa is also the guy at the party who gets the drinking started, which isn’t hard to believe, is it? “I mean, I’ve never tried so many different whiskeys in my entire life,” Clarke said. “There were a couple that were really nice, and there were a couple that were paint stripper, and I literally was like, ‘Yeah I’m gonna down you, get hair on your chest.’ It was funny.”
Overall, Clarke said that Momoa got the whole group “as drunk as humanly possible.” Sounds like a pretty good time.
Clarke was on Game of Thrones for all eight seasons and Momoa only for one, but both have gone on to have huge careers in Hollywood. Momoa is Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe, and Clarke will be joining the rival Marvel Cinematic Universe alongside Samuel L. Jackson in Secret Invasion on Disney+.

This 1990 Jaguar XJR-15, driven to victory by Juan Manuel Fangio II at the 1991 Formula One support race at Silverstone, is now up for sale. This marks the first time in its 33-year history that the car has been made available to the public. It still sports its original JaguarSport International Challenge livery and bears Fangio’s signature. Jaguar constructed 16 of these race cars in collaboration with Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR). This particular model is chassis 48. It boasts a 6.0-liter V-12 engine delivering 450 horsepower, a six-speed manual gearbox with straight-cut gears, and a triple-plate carbon-fiber AP Racing clutch. Beneath its carbon body panels lies a carbon-fiber monocoque—a cutting-edge feature for the early 1990s. The Jaguar is equipped with exceptionally wide Pirelli P Zero Assimetrico tires—measuring 13 inches at the rear and nine at the front—encasing 17-inch OZ alloy wheels. Steel AP Racing four-piston brakes ensure stopping power at all four corners, while a limited-slip differential aids in torque distribution. The carbon-exposed cabin is notably spartan. It includes essential dials for speed and revs, as well as gauges monitoring vehicle vitals such as oil temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and water temperature. The interior features a carbon-fiber racing seat with a four-point Sabelt harness and a fire suppression system. The car is currently listed for sale on Pistonheads through The Octane Collection, an exotic car dealer in the United Kingdom. Although no price is specified, given the rarity and desirability of even standard, street-legal XJR-15s, this one is sure to command a high price. The best part? The sale includes a 600-mile Jaguar XJR-S, allowing you to drive to the track before switching to your XJR-15 race car.

Jaguar is undergoing significant transformations. Earlier this year, the British automaker announced plans to discontinue most of its current models as it transitions to exclusively producing electric vehicles by 2025. This move is part of Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) "Reimagine" strategy, initiated over three years ago, which has yet to yield any new models for the Jaguar brand. The company's CEO described this situation as "hugely frustrating" in a recent interview with Top Gear.
Jaguar's managing director, Rawdon Glover, revealed to the publication that this transition represents a "complete brand reinvention." The automaker aims to shift its focus upmarket, reduce production, and concentrate on three key vehicles in its lineup. This ambitious plan is compounded by the additional challenge of transitioning to electric vehicle (EV) production. Developing new products, especially EVs, requires significant time and resources, unlike the combustion engine cars Jaguar has been producing for decades. Glover emphasized that Jaguar needs "a whole suite of EV services," a necessity for a brand aiming to increase revenue by selling fewer, more expensive models.
The first glimpse of Jaguar's new direction will come later this year with an electric four-door GT, expected to cost over £100,000 ($130,755 at current exchange rates). This vehicle will be built on the new Jaguar Electrified Platform, shared with two upcoming electric SUVs. The new GT car marks Jaguar's first major step upmarket, with the company hoping it will elevate the brand to compete with luxury marques like Porsche and Bentley. This strategy is particularly challenging given the current cooling consumer interest in electric vehicles, even at the high end of the market. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In the heart of Atlanta, where the pulse of the city beats strong, and its influence radiates far beyond its borders, stands an icon whose voice has become synonymous with the warmth and dynamism of this vibrant metropolis. Emmy winner and celebrated radio personality Ryan Cameron has further cemented his status as Atlanta’s golden voice through a new role at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Known for his magnetic charisma and distinctive tone, Cameron is now the official voiceover talent for one of the busiest airports in the world, bringing a unique blend of familiarity and excellence to millions of travelers each year.
Ryan Cameron’s journey to becoming the Voice of America is a testament to his profound connection with Atlanta and its people. With a career that spans decades in radio and television, Cameron has not just been a witness to Atlanta’s evolution but has also played a pivotal role in shaping its cultural narrative. His engaging presence on-air has made him a household name, but it is his commitment to excellence and professionalism that makes him an undisputed choice for representing Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Cameron himself is enthusiastic about his new role as the vocal ambassador for Atlanta’s gateway to the world. “This opportunity is not just an honor but a profound responsibility—to represent my city, to welcome millions from across the globe into our home,” he states. On his social media platforms, Instagram @doitfortheryan, Twitter @ryancameron, and his website, Cameron further elaborates on his vision of using this platform as a means to bridge communities and cultures through the power of voice.
Beyond merely announcing departures and arrivals, Ryan Cameron embodies Atlanta’s spirit—its resilience, diversity, and warmth—through every word he speaks. In doing so, he turns mundane airport announcements into moments of connection, reminders that behind every flight number or gate change lies stories waiting to be told or continued.
His impact transcends auditory boundaries; it represents what it means to be truly welcoming—an embodiment of Southern hospitality mixed with international sophistication. For visitors arriving in Atlanta for the first time or residents returning home after long travels, hearing Ryan’s voice over the PA system feels like receiving a personal greeting from an old friend—a rare comfort in today’s fast-paced world.
Professionally crafted yet deeply personal announcements ensure that while travelers may forget the specifics of their journeys—their flights’ arrival times or baggage claim numbers—they’ll remember how they felt navigating through Hartsfield-Jackson under Ryan Cameron’s guidance: valued, respected, and welcomed.
Moreover, this collaboration between Cameron and Hartsfield-Jackson serves as an innovative model for other airports worldwide by demonstrating how integrating culturally significant figures into everyday operations can enhance brand identity and customer experience simultaneously.
In embracing this role at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, he fully integrates himself into everyday life in Atlanta in yet another dimension while reinforcing his legacy as one of its beloved voices. Through each announcement—whether it’s guiding weary travelers or celebrating arrivals—he continues building on that profound connection with both city dwellers and guests alike.
As you walk through Hartsfield-Jackson next time, note how much smoother your passage feels when guided by someone who embodies not only professionalism but passion—for broadcasting messages intended not just for ears but hearts too. This addition illuminates not only Ryan Cameron’s versatility as an artist but underscores what makes him truly special: his ability to transform ordinary experiences into extraordinary memories by simply lending them his voice—the unmistakable Voice of America. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Donald Trump is a businessman, real estate developer, and T.V star. He was elected as the 45th President of the United States of America for the period of four years, from January 2017 to January 2021. Donald Trump achieved a surprising victory by defeating his opponent, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, in the 2016 general election. Although he had no previous experience with government or the military.
Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in New York City, USA. He is the son of Frederick (Fred) Christ Trump, who was a
successful real estate builder and developer, and Mary MacLeod, who was a homemaker and Scottish immigrant in New York. Donald Trump began his primary education at a private school in Queens before attending the New York Military Academy. He completed his graduation in economics from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. After graduation, Donald Trump joined his father`s legacy business, real estate. Trump married Czech model Ivana Zelnickova in 1977, with whom he has three children. Trump again married actress Marla Maples, and they have one daughter. In 1999, he left Marla Maples and married Slovenian model Melania Knauss in 2005.
After his education, Donald Trump formally joined his family company and started construction of new housing colonies, apartments, buildings, hotels, and clubs. He became president of the firm in 1974.
Trump has successfully expanded his business by investing in luxury hotels, large firms, and other business ventures. The Grand Hyatt New York hotel and Trump Tower are his iconic projects. He also took an interest in the airline industry and the casino business. In the 1990s, when an economic downturn came, Trump also suffered a lot and reported a nearly one-billion-dollar loss. Despite heavy losses, Trump eventually recovered his financial position and grew his business falsely by acquiring multiple business ventures, including hotels, casinos, golf courses, resorts, and residential properties.
Trump’s personality is very charming; he always remains focused on digital media around the world. Trump also invested in hosting a TV reality show, “The Apprentice”. Trump’s catchphrase, “You’re fired,” remained remarkable and was liked by millions of people. He also appeared in other TV shows like “Home Alone and Lost in New York.”
In 2015, Donald Trump decided to contest the presidential election, and he announced himself as a candidate in the 2016 U.S. presidential election of 2016.He participated in the election with the slogan “Make America Great Again.” He started his election campaign. He assured people that he would revive the U.S. industry and create millions of new jobs. Furthermore, he said if he is elected, he will withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change and impose tariffs on countries that are unfair to the United States. He showed his intention to construct a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent illegal immigration from Latin America. During his election campaign, he pretended that he would make America great again.
On November 8, 2016, on a stunning and surprising day, Trump and his vice presidential running mate, Mike Pence, defeated Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Senator Tim Kane. Hillary Clinton was the first female presidential candidate from any political party. Trump won major states like Florida and Ohio and secured 306 electoral votes, while Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Outdoor Grills and Kitchens Add Value to Your Home All Year Long
Spring and summer are the primary grilling seasons, but well-designed outdoor grills and kitchens can be functional all year long. An outdoor grill can be used year round, especially when you incorporate seasonal change into its design. You can overcome the elemental factors through layout if you plan for them.
Get out of the kitchen and into your outdoor living space.
An outdoor kitchen with a roof, like an open beam gazebo or even solid roof pergola, can help keep out the rain. A fire pit can provide warmth, as will a grill or even an oven. If you enjoy the outdoors, a full kitchen is a must.
From drop-in coolers and refrigerating units to grills that do double-duty and offer baking functionality, you don’t have to make any sacrifices to cook outdoors. The summer BBQ season can begin a lot earlier for many areas around the country.
An outdoor kitchen gives you the opportunity to get out of the kitchen and into the outdoors. There is no reason people need to work all day and then come home to hang out inside for the rest of the day. With a little forethought, dinner can be cooking right alongside you while you relax.
Outdoor Grills and Kitchens
There are so many choices when it comes to grills, stoves, ovens, and even refrigerators that are designed for the outdoor kitchen. Today’s designs are more than just a Weber BBQ on the deck. Outdoor kitchens are elegant, sophisticated, and comfortable.
For instance, a side burner allows you to make the sides needed to round out a grilled porterhouse or halibut fillet. Warming drawers keep those sides warm until you’re ready to eat, and once dinner is served, the perfect soda or beer can be pulled out of your cooler drawer. Explore the idea of an outdoor living space with a full kitchen today.

The National Wrestling Alliance is devastated to learn of the passing of Joseph Hudson, better known to fans as Jocephus and the Question Mark.
Joseph has been a pillar of the NWA for many years, whether it be as the enigmatic leader of the Kingdom of Jocephus or the beloved Master of Mongrovian Karate.
“It’s with a heavy heart that I share that my friend and brother in wrestling, Joseph Hudson, has passed away suddenly from an as-yet undiagnosed medical issue. NWA fans would know him as Jocephus as well as The Question Mark, where thanks to the great fans at GPB Studios in Atlanta, Joseph was able to receive the kind of support in the ring he’d always dreamt of. He is survived by a young son whom he loved dearly, and if anything would pain him about leaving this Earth, it would be not being able to be there for his boy. RIP Joseph, love to you, and Godspeed.”
– NWA President William Patrick Corgan
Joseph will be remembered for his warm personality and imaginative spirit. We extend our deepest sympathies to Joseph’s family, friends, and fans.
The wrestling world is in shock today after Billy Corgan revealed earlier this morning that Jocephus, or Question Mark, or Sensei, the man called Joseph Hudson who loved to hide between these names passed away on Wednesday from an undiagnosed medical issue. His fellow NWA companions Nick Aldis, Aron Stevens, James Storm and Elijah Burke, alongside wrestlers like AEW’s Rebel and Matt Hardy or WWE’s Adam Pearce, Wade Barrett and Drake Maverick, expressed their pain on social media.
Debuting in 2009, Jocephus immediately became a regular for Tennessee-based promotion Unites States Wrestling Organisation (USWO) and was a four-time USWO Champion by 2012 with his last reign lasting over 300 days. When USWO shut down, his home promotion became Resistance Pro Wrestling (RPW) where he was a two-time tag team champion and RPW Heavyweight Champion. During this time, he also had two quick runs as NWA Southern Heavyweight Champion.
Jocephus found prominence with the revival of the NWA and the beginning of the Ten Pounds Of Gold series. His promo skills and character work drew in many fans who were seeing him for the first time as he went after NWA Champion Tim Storm for many months. Their feud ended when Jocephus and his Spiritual Advisor lost a Hair vs Hair match to Storm and David Arquette and followed with a number of grudge matches between Storm and his adversary that failed to satisfy their hatred for one another.
Not just good at his Jocephus character the man behind the gimmick took on the role of Question Mark, alongside the Aron Stevens the Question Mark was a well-liked character in NWA Powerrr. This character once again showcased the talents of Jocephus as he and Stevens got over thanks to the strange character captivating fans. He wrestled his final match against the legendary Rock ‘N Roll Express in May 2020.
True legends are not always the most famous. Joseph Hudson was able to embody at the same time an array of very different characters without making them look bad. He could make us laugh, he could indoctrinate us with his special theories on life and the universe, but he was always legit as a wrestler. Every reaction from wrestlers on social media talks about a nice, kind and funny man. Sometimes, we don’t need to know how old is a man, who he was and where he comes from to appreciate him, that’s why the Question Mark character was fitting him so well. Everything we know of Joseph Hudson is how talented and funny he was in a ring. This statement doesn’t need a question mark.
Kind regards to Alex Richards, all pics and videos courtesy of NWA | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The first hypothetical situation
The first hypothetical situation is for a 55 year old wife developed an early Dementia – Alzhiemers. The Dementia – Alzhiemers is a disease that relates to the malfunction of the brain which results to loss of memory, lack of proper thinking and uncontrolled behavior.
The family began recognizing the symptoms such as memory loss, she also began to have challenges in completing her daily tasks, confusion from time to time, and change in mood or personality.
There was lack of acceptance in the family and the husband and the children believed that everything will be okay. Based on the disease as it develops, the family needs to support the lady both emotionally and financially. Due to lack of supervision, the patient becomes uncontrollable and this may cause more damages to her and external parties.
Also, the lack of support from her family can cause lack of acceptance of her condition, low self-esteem, lack of independence, and poor social life.
The best treatment plan
The best treatment plan is to help the patient understand the disease and how to control herself. The patient is expected to do a lot of physical activities to remain mentally active and engaged.
As a case worker, I would recommend for a personal nurse who will take the patient out on walks, and do daily chores such as watering the garden and caring for the pets. She should also spend more time with her family doing the things that made her excited. The caring process requires patience since the patient needs time to adjust from one activity to another.
In cases where hiring a private nurse becomes expensive, the family should take her to a health center with special facilities for people with mental health issues. The support of a specialist is better and may make Dementia – Alzhiemers controllable in the future.
I believe that the Lesbian couple should remain in the social service/mental health agency. The agency will guide them individually without making conclusions about their relationship. The past behaviors may be as a result of peer influence, negative social behaviors, and the need to fit in the community social status.
The first individual later feels that lesbianism is not her life and that she must follow the religious beliefs just as the family does. The process of rediscovering herself needs counseling and guidance so that she can have self-acceptance by the end of the training. Suicidal thoughts are as a result of depression and denial of her past. The patient is suffering mentally and feels that the society will not accept her for the past decisions that she made.
The second partner needs to be taught on the importance of respecting other people decisions. Making a decision to break a relationship is rude and affects bot individuals emotionally. The counseling will guide the second partner on how to cope with separation and avoid feeling lonely. Taking alcohol is not the solution rather, the partner should keep themselves engaged with a lot of physical activities. In the health agency, the individual will express themselves by talking to counsellors about how they lived in their past lives and the challenges they faced. When there is someone to listen, the denial and lack of self-acceptance reduces for both parties and they begin to listen to the changes that might positively impact their lives. The agency also creates an interaction process with different patients who have different sources of mental illness. Thus, the mental health support is very essential to self-development and social growth. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Johannes, Jan or Johan Vermeer (1632 – December 1675) was a Dutch painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. Vermeer was a moderately successful provincial genre painter in his lifetime. Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, and frequently used very expensive pigments. He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work.He evidently was not wealthy, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death, perhaps because he produced relatively few paintings. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Our story begins off the coast of Napoli…
Passion for good food and wine runs deep in the family of Simona Sarpa. Two years ago, she moved from Napoli, Italy to let Tampa Bay taste a little piece of Neapolitan tradition. In a kitchen inspired by her Grandparents' restaurant/pizzeria Pizzicato at Piazza Municipio, she follows the tradition of the Neapolitan cuisine passed down through the generations.
The Viva Napoli kitchen relies mostly on imported products from Italy to meet the authenticity of the Neapolitan cuisine. The centerpiece of the kitchen, a large wood fired oven, was built in Napoli from the famous "biscotto di Sorrento” stone to perfectly cook the Neapolitan style pizza. Italian flour results in pizzas with soft crust and beautiful airy pockets that add a delightful crunch.
True Italian ingredients add their uncompromising flavors to each dish, from Italian cheeses and herbs to sausages imported from Napoli. Savor the hearty flavors that invoke the passion of Italy.
As always, best enjoyed with wine!

Earlier this month, a targeted hack on the Internet Archive threatened billions of archived web pages and a comprehensive digital history of the world, exposing data from over 30 million users.
The site operates a database called the ‘Wayback Machine’ archiving snapshots of over 800 billion web pages, even after they have been altered or deleted.

Understanding non-routine discharge: Factors that are associated with premature termination from higher levels of care in adults with anorexia nervosa
This study sought to replicate and extend associations between clinical and demographic features at admission and types of premature treatment termination for adults diagnosed with anorexia nervosa (AN) in higher-level-of-care settings. Secondary data analyses examined a study population comprised of adults with AN (N = 565) who were admitted to one of two United States eating disorder treatment centers (April 2015-April 2020) for intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, residential, or inpatient services. There were no significant differences in the type of non-routine discharge according to level of care. At admission, those with lower BMI were more likely to discharge against medical advice, and those with lower cognitive restraint and elevated binge eating were more likely to discharge against medical advice or by staff-initiated request, respectively. Discharge by parent/patient request was more likely among those who were older or who reported lower baseline desire for muscularity. Overall older age, elevated binge eating, and lower weight, desire for muscularity, and cognitive restraint may be associated with less tolerance/acceptability for AN treatment. Increased understanding of how to better support patients who admit to higher levels of care with these clinical features will contribute to better odds of completion of a full course of treatment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Most people only seek pest remediation when they see insects and creatures around their Dallas home. While this may seem like a perfectly logical act, it’s ultimately unwise. Many creepy crawlers can make their way into your abode just fine without being spotted. What’s worse is that they can procreate and live for long stretches of time undetected. It’s especially easy if the critter in question is small and usually resides in a tucked-away area. Termites are a prime example of bugs that can sneak by.
Termites are detrimental because they destroy wood, and often quietly. They typically stay behind foundations. Americans pay out a shared $5 billion in deterrence and recuperation expenses every year. Insurance companies rarely offer any relief. Learn how you can avoid this devastation just in time for termite season in Dallas with Addison Pest Control.
When Does Termite Season Begin? What Are The Signs of Termites?
It’s nothing but bad news with termites. Their season never really ends. Each subspecies has its own peak period, which means they are active throughout the year. Some of the classes that frequent the area are highly operational during the spring. The winged swarmers in their colonies are busy mating and building fresh nests. You’re bound to see them near lamps and windows since they’re attracted to light. They are ½ of an inch long. Color-wise, they are black, yellow, or brown. The workers mill wood. Common ones are 0.12 of an inch long and white or grayish-white. Rectangular-headed soldiers protect them with their robust jaws. Considering that these last two groups hide behind walls, swarmers are an obvious sign of infestation. Other alerts are:
Finding the discarded wings of swarmers
Noticing quantities of fecal frass near holes, maze patterns, and mud tubes
Having hollow-sounding walls
Hearing rustling and clicking from inside walls
Peeling and bubbling paint that appears water damaged
Observing that drywall is slumping and off-color
Loosening tiles and creaking floorboards
Rigid doors and window frames
Walls and bases will become dilapidated as a termite infestation progresses. Someone could get hurt or even killed, should there be folding or breakdown. Those are steep stakes, to say the least. If you’re a homeowner, realize that you may need to find an alternate place to live. This could be for a short time or an extended one, depending on the extent of the damage. As mentioned previously, trying to rebound after a bout with termites is quite costly. Thankfully diseases are not a concern with these bugs, however, allergies are.
How Can You Prevent Termites?
Fixing or getting rid of rotting and compromised wood.
Repairing leaks and moisture dysfunctions immediately. Those affecting wood should be done first.
Sealing crevices in utility lines, caulk, and foundations.
Adding screens to all vents that face the outside.
Cleaning gutters and vents routinely.
Never putting free wood, like fire logs, on the soil.
Distancing loose wood and plants at least two feet away from the property.
Mowing the lawn and grooming greenery regularly.
What Can Addison Pest Control Do About Termites?
“At home” tricks and remedies won’t successfully eliminate termites. Most of these avenues will have low effectiveness or will just treat the surface. Some are pricey or hazardous to try. These insects are tough and require the potent solutions of Addison Pest Control. Our skilled technicians will employ Sentricon® with Always Active™ bait stations and Termidor liquids. These industry-standard treatments are completely safe. Warranties will be attached. Call us today at Addison Pest Control for a free inspection! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Julian Loida brings new beats to Brandon Music
BRANDON — Julian Loida will perform an evening of percussion at Brandon Music on Saturday, Nov. 30, 7:30 p.m., at Brandon Music. The Boston-based composer, producer and percussionist will take the Brandon stage for the first time as a soloist on Saturday offering the audience a unique sound experience, comprising all original music on vibraphone written and performed by Loida himself.
Loida first revealed his high skill level as a percussionist when performing at Brandon Music as drummer with the Burlington based band Ameranouche. Loida’s says his music gives voice to all “wallflowers” — the title of his debut album released in September of this year. He asks his listeners to explore the introvert in each of us through his music.
“Wallflower and the music I compose is closer to a musical painting in which I assemble sound to evoke the colors in my mind,” he said.
Loida’s music is beautifully haunting, immersive and calming, while at the same time taking the listener on a musical pathway of exploration and discovery.
His musical curiosity and open-mindedness sets him apart and has propelled him towards a wide-range of sounds, genres and artistic endeavors. He’s performed jazz, folk, and classical, collaborating with dancers, visual artists, songwriters/composers, and musicians of all stripes. The thirst to participate in and experience this range of sounds is partly a product of Loida’s synesthesia. Music is a full-body experience for him, with sounds often invoking involuntary sensations of color, texture or even taste.
As an educator, Loida shares his scores and deep rhythmic knowledge with students of all ages. In 2017, he received his Master’s Degree in Classical Percussion from New England Conservatory.
Saturday’s concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Concert tickets are $20. A pre-concert dinner is available for an extra $25. Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for the show. Venue is BYOB. Call (802) 247-4295, email [email protected] or visit brandon-music.net for more info.

Video: What Is Electron Beam Melting (EBM)?
Electron beam melting is the higher-energy metal 3D printing process offering advantages when it comes to productivity and thermal stresses. Here is an introduction to EBM.
What is Electron Beam Melting (EBM)?
Electron beam melting (EBM) is a powder bed fusion metal 3D printing process.
The energy source is an electron beam. Compared to laser powder bed fusion, EBM is a higher-energy additive manufacturing method offering the chance for both greater productivity and greater control over the effects of thermal stresses during 3D printing of the metal.
How Does EBM Work?
- A layer of metal powder is spread across the build area.
- The machine pre-heats the layer of powder
- An electron beam fuses, or melts, the powder together. The powder is melted only in the places needed to build the geometry of the final part.
- The spreading, heating and fusing steps are repeated over and over until a part is created.
- The final build will look like something like a semi-solid block or cake of powder. This block will have all of the pre-heated powder, regardless of whether or not it was melted, with the final solid part or parts inside.
- The parts are removed and depowdered.
Electron beam melting typically takes place inside a machine under vacuum. In the machine is a bed of powder metal that is fused together layer by layer with an electron beam to build a solid metal part.
The electron beam is a higher energy source compared to what’s used in more common laser powder bed fusion and produces very high temperatures.
What Are the Benefits of EBM?
- Safety. The higher energy source makes it possible to use larger diameter metal powder. The heavier powder metal doesn’t pose the same respiratory risk as fine metal powder. With electron beam melting, it's possible to work with the powder, and be around the powder without necessarily needing special safety equipment.
- Less distortion. Electron beam melting takes place within an environment of higher temperature than laser powder bed fusion, which allows for better management over the thermal stresses. That means less warping, less distortion, and potentially better dimensional accuracy. It also means that postprocessing steps like hot isostatic pressing likely won’t be necessary.
- Fewer supports. EBM offers a more stable build. The control over thermal stresses means that it’s not necessary to rely on support structures to anchor the part in place against deformation. The supports are there instead to pin the parts in location for the duration of the build. Support structures can be thinner and, thus, easier to remove.
- Productivity. Compared to laser powder bed fusion, EBM is typically more productive for two reasons. One, the build rate is faster. Two, the ability to stack parts and nest them inside the build chamber allows more parts per print. Reduced reliance on supports also potentially translates into reduced postprocessing needs.
What Are the Drawbacks of EBM?
- Print time. More parts in the build volume potentially translates to longer builds, maybe even days to complete a print.
- Cooling. Preheating all of the build layers produces a finished build that is very hot. It must cool down inside of the machine. This can take several hours, which means the machine cannot be used for another build during that time.
- Powder removal. EBM allows for lots of geometric intricacy while using a larger powder particle size. This can add up to parts with powder trapped inside that can be difficult to get out. Additional postprocessing steps may be needed, such as ultrasonic powder removal and extra inspection.
- Surface finish. Compared to other powder bed fusion processes, electron beam melting produces a coarser surface. Laser powder bed fusion has an advantage when it comes to very fine precision work, but both of these processes produce parts that are very close to net shape.
How Is Electron Beam Melting (EBM) Used?
Applications of electron beam melting (EBM) we have covered include:
- Customized surgical implants
- Mass-produced surgical implants In some instances, such as with hip cup implants, an engineered rough surface has proven beneficial to the patient’s healing.
- Turbine blades, including for power generation
- Wear parts and tooling in hard metals
- Lightweight components for systems used in space, including for the Mars rover
- Intricate machine components, including for an EBM machine
- And even an unusual part for zoo animals
Commonalities we've seen in successes with electron beam melting include hard metals, unusual metals and parts that are large, but also feature thin or delicate sections where control over the deformation of the part is important. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

At What Age Can ADHD be Diagnosed? | Affinity Health
As leading medical insurance providers in SA, Affinity Health looks at what research suggests so far in light of October being ADHD Awareness Month.
What Is ADHD?
It’s common for children to forget to do their homework, daydream in class, act without thinking, or fidget at the dinner table. But inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity can also be signs of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
If you suspect your child may have ADHD, you may also be wondering at what age a proper diagnosis can be made.
ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 2.0% to 16.0% of the school-age population worldwide. It’s estimated that in South Africa, one in 20 children and at least 1-million adults suffer from ADHD. The disorder is most commonly diagnosed in childhood and lasts into adulthood.
Most children can be diagnosed with behavioural, social, or developmental issues at or around five years old.
“Diagnosing ADHD in children under the age of five is extremely difficult. That’s because many pre-schoolers are naturally distracted at their age, hyperactive, and impulsive. Additionally, children change at a rapid rate during the preschool years,” explains Murray Hewlett, CEO of Affinity Health.
“As children get older, unusual behavioural, social, or developmental issues become more apparent. Many children with ADHD start experiencing educational difficulties at about Grade 3 level (eight or nine years old). Without support, these children may fall behind in school and experience significant setbacks impacting on their overall functioning and development.”
How Is ADHD Diagnosed In Children?
There is no simple test that can determine if your child has ADHD, but following a thorough evaluation, your doctor or health care provider can provide an accurate diagnosis.
A physical examination may be part of the evaluation, which can help rule out other possible reasons for your child’s symptoms. If need be, your child’s doctor may refer you to a child psychiatrist, developmental paediatrician, or trained psychologist experienced in the field of ADHD.
ADHD symptoms are often classified into three different types:
- Hyperactive/impulsive type: Children can be both hyperactive and impulsive, yet they can generally pay attention.
- Inattentive type:These children are not overly active. Their symptoms may go unnoticed because they do not disrupt the classroom or other activities.
- Combined type (inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive): This type of ADHD manifests symptoms from both groups and is the most common form of ADHD.
Parents need to know that their child’s symptoms can change over time, so the type of ADHD your child is first diagnosed with may as they grow older.
Medication, behaviour therapy, counselling, and educational programmes are all common treatments for ADHD in children.
Many of the symptoms of ADHD can be alleviated with these therapies, but they do not cure the condition. Finding out what works best for your child may take some time.
“Determining whether or whether a child has ADHD is a multi-step process. If you’re concerned that your child may have ADHD, the first step is to consult with a doctor to see if your child’s symptoms match the diagnosis,” concludes Hewlett.

Nairobi — Kithure Kindiki has officially been sworn in as Kenya’s third Deputy President, succeeding Rigathi Gachagua, who was impeached following a fallout with President William Ruto.
The swearing-in took place at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) after a three-judge bench lifted the conservatory orders that had barred Kindiki from assuming office.
Gachagua’s impeachment marked a historic first under the 2010 Constitution, as he became the only Deputy President to be removed from office through this process. His impeachment was confirmed by both the National Assembly and the Senate.
Chief Registrar of the Judiciary, Winfrida Mokaya, administered the oath of office, witnessed by Chief Justice Martha Koome. The event commenced at 10:42 a.m. with the ceremonial placement of the Judiciary mace.
President Ruto, who was present to oversee the proceedings, welcomed Kindiki as his new deputy. Other notable attendees included National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi, and various political leaders. The event was also attended by Cabinet Secretaries, led by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, and members of the diplomatic corps.
The decision to proceed with Kindiki’s swearing-in followed a ruling by Justices Eric Ogola, Anthony Mrima, and Dr. Freda Mugambi, who determined that leaving the Deputy President’s office vacant would contravene constitutional provisions and go against public interest.
The Kerugoya Court had initially issued a conservatory order on October 18, shortly after President Ruto’s nomination of Kindiki to replace Gachagua. The order was lifted on Thursday, allowing Kindiki to take the oath. The judges argued that continued conservatory orders would leave the Deputy President’s office vacant and that Kenya’s Constitution did not allow for such a scenario.
“The applications for conservatory orders are hereby disallowed. The conservatory orders issued on October 18, 2024, in Kerugoya High Court are hereby discharged,” the judges ruled. They highlighted that the Deputy President’s functions cannot be undertaken by the President, Speaker of the National Assembly, or any other official, emphasizing the need for a prompt appointment.
Kindiki, who holds a master’s degree and a PhD from the University of Pretoria, has an extensive academic and professional background, including authoring over 30 publications. He also served as President Ruto’s lawyer more than a decade ago during his case at the International Criminal Court (ICC) related to post-election violence in 2007.
Until his swearing-in, Kindiki held the position of Interior Cabinet Secretary, now temporarily managed by Mudavadi in an acting capacity.

The Central African Republic(CAR) authorities announced the temporary requisition of six out of eleven Tamoil service stations in Bangui.
These stations will be managed for 45 days to ensure regular fuel supply, salary payments, and tax contributions, as stated by the Minister of Energy Development and Hydraulic Resources, Arthur Bertrand Piri.
Previously, Piri fined Tamoil 200 million CFA francs (about 300,000 euros) for not maintaining fuel supplies.
In response, Tamoil defended itself, noting that Cameroonian company Neptune has had exclusive import rights since September.
Recently, gasoline shortages have affected both former Total stations and competitors, with private companies struggling to obtain sufficient fuel. The shortages are attributed to limited stocks and inadequate supplies transported by road from Douala.
Despite ongoing disputes since acquiring Total's operations, Tamoil's owner, Rochefort & Associates, remains committed, focusing on reopening provincial stations and resuming airport activities.
For more than a month, CAR has faced a a series of fuel shortage, with Bangui being the hardest hit. Long lines of cars and motorcycles queue at service stations, hoping to get fuel. While most stations are closed, a few struggle to stay open, working tirelessly to serve customers until they run out of fuel by around 10 am local time. This effort is insufficient as the price per liter has skyrocketed from 2,000 to 3,000 francs.
Street vendors are forced to go to neighboring Congo to procure fuel, reselling it at high prices. The economic impact is already evident, and concerns are growing across the country. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Spin Master is a skill game in which you have to get through a maze and defeat the strange block-shaped and other geometric monsters that attack you using a spinning ring of knives.
How to play Spin Master?
Move through the arena and dodge the other characters in this casual game with lots of short, action-packed levels. Each time they come close, they will be hit by the ring of knives spinning around you. However, each enemy has a number written on it. This number shows the amount of hits it can take before it is defeated.
Take out as many enemies as you can and collect the power-ups they drop. That way, you can collect extra knives, coins to upgrade your attack power, and a speed booster to turbo-charge your knife spinning skills.
Collect new characters and unlock cool new knives and blades. Can you defeat the final boss at the end of each level?
Use the mouse or drag your finger across the touchscreen to move your character and dodge enemies
The side- and top-scrolling levels will also move your character forward automatically | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Explains Potential Dangers of the Zostavax Shingles Vaccine
Robert Kennedy: "Zostavax is a vaccine that is sold to prevent shingles, but may actually cause shingles--the very disease that it's supposed to prevent.
"Worst of all, Zostavax may cause brain injury, paralysis, even death.
"When a drug company fails to warn the public against the dangers that its product might cause, it needs to be held accountable--not just for the person that's injured, but for all of us." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Star Fox Guard
It's finally a game that actually makes good use of the gamepad in it's core gameplay. Unlike Star Fox Zero, Star Fox Guard has incorporated the gamepad in a fantastic way and this game couldn't actually exist without having the gamepad.
It's kind of sad that it's taken Nintendo this long to make a game that justifies the Wii U gamepad, for every other game it either feels extremely forced or it just adds some nice-to-haves. In Star Fox Guard it's critical to the gameplay.
You use the gamepad to position and select cameras in a tower defense style game. The TV screen shows you the individual views from all those cameras once the waves of enemies start and that's also where you aim and fire to defend.
If my thoughts about Star Fox Zero turned you off of that game yesterday I would highly suggest you grab Star Fox Guard standalone for $15 from the eShop. My kids and I are having an absolute blast with it! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I recently faced a strange issue after configuring and trying to connect to an SSL VPN hosted on a DrayTek Router. I initially updated the DrayTek Smart VPN Client to the latest release 5.6.3 which did not resolve the issue. I then decided to change the SSL VPN Users password and identified that the below error was a result of using the £ symbol in the SSL VPN Users password. Once I removed the £ symbol from the password I was able to connect without error. It’s possible that other special characters may cause the same problem so if you also encounter this error I would initially suggest simplifying your password for testing purposes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele doubled down on the country’s new law making Bitcoin legal tender and offered $30 worth of the cryptocurrency to any citizen who signs up for a digital wallet.
The government will create its own Bitcoin wallet called Chivo, which is slang for “cool” in El Salvador, Bukele said during a national address on Thursday night. The funds will be deposited into the account of any citizen who downloads it and registers as a user with their phone number and ID number, he said.
The law making Bitcoin legal tender will enter into force on Sept. 7, he said.
Bukele, 39, reiterated his arguments that using the cryptocurrency will help attract investment, boost consumption and cut the cost of sending remittances for millions of Salvadorans working abroad. But bank accounts in dollars will remain in dollars, and salaries and pensions will continue to be paid in dollars, he said.
“Why create this law? Because Bitcoin has a $600 billion market capitalization globally and if we do this, investors and tourists who own Bitcoin will come to the country and benefit Salvadorans and the economy,” Bukele said.
Consumers can pay businesses with Bitcoins from their wallets for items listed in dollars. But if business owners want to receive payment in dollars, they can press a button in the Chivo application to convert the Bitcoins immediately to dollars, according to Bukele. “It will be totally optional. The dollar will continue to be legal tender,” he said.
The Chivo wallet will be available to download in September and it will be compatible with other Bitcoin wallets, Bukele said.
The government will provide training for businesses on Bitcoin transactions and seek to improve Internet and mobile phone penetration to encourage the cryptocurrency’s use, he said. Businesses that are technologically unable to receive e-payments will be excluded from the law, he added.
Not everyone shares Bukele’s enthusiasm for the plan. Fitch Ratings said in a report Thursday that the legislation establishing Bitcoin as legal tender would increase regulatory risks for financial institutions, including the potential of violating international anti-money laundering and terrorist financing standards.
“A rushed implementation of the new alternative payment system platform will affect financial institutions’ management framework for operational, cyber/ransomware, currency and liquidity risks,” Fitch analysts including Rolando Martinez wrote.
The International Monetary Fund has also criticized the move, while the World Bank rejected a request from the government to assist with Bitcoin implementation.
Bitcoin weakened 4.4% to $33,338 at 10:11 a.m. in New York, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Human rights organisations have accused Tanzanian police of using violence to evict members of the Masaai Indigenous community in Loliondo, in the country’s northern district of Ngorongoro.
Activists say at least 31 people were severely injured on June 10 as security forces started an eviction plan and demarcated a 1,500sq-kilometre plot being allocated by the authorities for conservation activities.
The nomadic Maasai people consider the area, lying on the outskirts of the Serengeti National Park, as ancestral land essential to their livelihood of keeping livestock and guaranteeing food for the community. A change in its status would mean the banning of human activities or settlement there.
In a statement on Monday, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights strongly condemned the incident, urging the government to halt the continuing eviction and to open an independent investigation.
It also stressed the need to “ensure that any measures for implementation of the conservation area are carried out in full collaboration with participation of the affected communities”.
According to a statement published by the Forest Peoples Programme on behalf of local Maasai community representatives, the authorities are “violently seizing” the land, despite a pending case at the East African Court of Justice. It also said some 700 people have fled the violence and that at least nine community leaders have been detained in unknown locations.
Witnesses told the organisation that about 700 policemen arrived in the area on June 7 and violence erupted three days later after members of the Maasai community were attacked by the police for uprooting beacons that had been installed to demarcate the area.
Videos on social media show the Maasai running away as police fired tear gas and bullets. Al Jazeera could not independently verify the source of the videos.
The Indigenous Peoples’ and Community Conserved Areas and Territories (ICCAs) Consortium also said the government is acting “purportedly to make way for a game reserve operated by a hunting tourism enterprise”.
But government spokesperson Gerson Msigwa denied any continuing eviction, saying police officers were demarcating the area as part of a previous agreement with the local community to keep part of the land for living and allocate the rest for conservation activities.
“We are going to reserve the area and it is unfortunate that people are going against this,” Msigwa said.
“Loliondo is burning brother. The police are using force to place beacons in the middle of village lands. This morning community members were injured as they try to stop the process. 10 people seriously injured" #Maasai elder#standwiththeMassai pic.twitter.com/mUfY4l6c7p
— Forest Peoples Programme (@ForestPeoplesP) June 11, 2022
Msigwa also said the violence broke out as villagers attacked the police, killing one officer.
Back in February, eight UN special rapporteurs in a report had voiced their concerns about the government’s reported plans for resettlement, forced evictions and home demolitions which are expected to affect about 82,000 people in Ngorongoro by 2027.
“If pursued these plans could jeopardise their physical and cultural survival in the name of “nature conservation”, ignoring the close relationship that the Maasai have traditionally had with their lands, territories and resources and their stewardship role in protecting biodiversity,” the report read.
Yannick Ndoinyo, a Maasai leader who spoke to Al Jazeera on Tuesday from the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, said the government is taking land using claims of conservation, but without consulting the community.
He said the community has presented plans to the government on how to jointly preserve the area but did not get any response.
“The government should consider very highly the community recommendations, and it must stop this operation so that they can open a dialogue on how to jointly resolve this,” Ndoinyo said. “But generally the community needs this land … for survival.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Realise the home of your dreams
HOME RENOVATIONS BRISBANE
The goal was to make this home’s style modern with clean features and unobstructed views. The introduction of natural light with the removal of walls and addition of a second large entrance to the back deck makes a huge impact on the living space. Walls don’t just divide floor space, they can interrupt the ability to talk between different living spaces, limit visibility and hinder ventilation. You can now be in the kitchen talking with your guests at the dining table and see what your kids are watching in the lounge room while enjoying a cool breeze and view to the backyard. The relocation of the entrance created better privacy for the bedrooms as guests no longer pass each room to reach the living spaces. The floor space gained from moving the kitchen stairway enabled the previous formal living to be converted to another generous bedroom.

Loving the Chau-me state, Former Bronco thrives in SEC environment
The last two years have brought big changes for former Sam Houston High School softball player Casidy Chaumont.
After two seasons as a starter at Louisiana-Lafayette, she made the jump to the Southeastern Conference to play for the Missouri Tigers, moving nearly 800 miles from home looking for a new challenge, and made a big position change.
It has been nothing but success — national attention from highlight-reel catches and accolades for the junior, who has helped lead No. 8 Missouri to the NCAA Tournament super regional round and two wins from the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City.
“It has been awesome,” Chaumont said of playing in a super regional. “I am really looking forward to it. It is something I have never done. Having it at our home field and everyone cheering for us and being on our side is going to be incredible.
“We are sold out of tickets, so it is probably going to break the attendance record, I think. It is going to be super loud and super fun.”
Missouri (41-15) will host James Madison (37-1) in a best-of-three series starting at 8 p.m. today.
Chaumont said she thought she would be a utility player at Missouri, but one day she got the call to go to the outfield. The first play didn’t go as planned, but Chaumont quickly adjusted and has started in right and left fields this season, earning all-SEC second-team honors and twice featured on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” for a pair of spectacular diving catches, plus a few more in the SEC Tournament where the Tigers reached the semifinals.
“Line drives in the outfield look a whole lot different than in the infield. The infield you charge it and catch it,” Chaumont said. “Well, outfield, you need to first step back and realize if it is going to be over your head.
“So I went up for it, and I was like oh, it is over my head,” she said describing her first outfield play. “So I jumped up. I had to starfish and it went over my head and hit the wall.
“Now, I am getting some diving catches my way. I have made a lot of improvement. Coach Michaela Transue and the other coaches have really helped me figure out the outfield, so it is coming along.”
Adjusting to SEC play took time after being away from the sport for a year because of NCAA transfer rules. But Chaumont opened SEC play with an eight-game hitting streak and is batting .258 with seven doubles, two triples, three home runs, 20 RBIs and 26 runs scored.
“You don’t believe people when they are like it is the SEC,” Chaumont said. “It is bigger. It is different. There is more competition so you really have to step up, play your part and figure things out.”
The desire to play for Missouri associate head coach Chris Malveaux, who was an assistant during Chaumont’s freshman season at ULL, was part of the draw to Columbia. Malveaux was head coach at McNeese State from 2005 to 2008.
“After two years at ULL, I really like the program and like all the people, but I just felt like I needed to move on to newer things,” Chaumont said. “I wanted to follow Chris Malveaux because he has a certain swing he does, so I really wanted to get back in that groove of things and come up a little more north.
“This place actually has every season. Louisiana, it is hot year-round, and it gets a little chilly sometimes, but I really like the snow, which is really nice. The weather is just awesome and obviously the softball program. That is probably my favorite thing. Just the amount of fans, the amount of people you have cheering you on. The atmosphere is just incredible.”
Casidy Chaumont has thrived since transferring to Missouri and has become a defensive stalwart in the outfield. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, the way we connect and form relationships has undergone a significant transformation. Gone are the days of traditional courtship rituals, as technology has ushered in a new era of instant gratification, convenience, and casual encounters. One prominent aspect of this shift is the rise of "Instant Hookups." In this article, we will explore the concept of instant hookups, their impact on modern dating culture, and the benefits and risks associated with this phenomenon.
The Digital Age of Dating
The digital age has revolutionized how we approach dating and relationships. With the advent of smartphones and dating apps, meeting new people has become easier and more accessible than ever before. Instant Hookups, often facilitated through various dating apps and websites, are a testament to this technological shift.
Instant Hookups Explained
Instant hookups refer to casual sexual encounters or short-term relationships that are often arranged through online platforms. These platforms provide a convenient way for individuals to connect with potential partners for casual intimacy without the commitment or emotional investment typically associated with traditional dating.
Key Features of Instant Hookups:
- Geolocation-Based Matching: Many dating apps use geolocation to connect users with potential matches in their vicinity, making it easier to find like-minded individuals nearby for spontaneous meetings.
- Swipe Culture: The "swipe right" or "swipe left" feature on dating apps has become emblematic of instant hookups. Users can quickly browse through profiles and make snap judgments based on appearance and minimal information.
- Messaging and Chat: These platforms offer instant messaging capabilities, allowing users to communicate and arrange meetups rapidly.
- No Strings Attached: Instant hookups are often pursued with the understanding that they are casual and commitment-free, with both parties typically seeking physical pleasure without the expectation of a long-term relationship.
The Appeal of Instant Hookups
Instant hookups have gained popularity for several reasons:
- Convenience: These platforms make it effortless to find potential partners, eliminating the need for traditional dating rituals that can be time-consuming.
- Anonymity: Users can maintain a level of anonymity, reducing the fear of rejection or judgment often associated with in-person interactions.
- Variety: Instant hookups offer a wide range of choices, allowing users to explore different experiences and preferences.
- Sexual Liberation: For many, instant hookups offer an opportunity to explore their sexual desires and preferences in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
The Risks and Challenges
While instant hookups may seem appealing, they come with their own set of challenges and risks:
- Safety Concerns: Meeting strangers from the internet can be risky. Ensuring one's safety should be a top priority when engaging in instant hookups, including meeting in public places and letting someone know about your plans.
- Emotional Consequences: Despite the initial understanding of casualness, some individuals may experience emotional turmoil after an instant hookup, especially if expectations were not communicated clearly.
- Sexual Health: Engaging in casual sex without knowing your partner's sexual history can put you at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Practicing safe sex and getting regular check-ups is crucial.
- Privacy Issues: The digital nature of instant hookups means that personal information and images can be shared or misused without consent, leading to privacy breaches and potential harm.
The Impact on Modern Dating Culture
Instant hookups have had a profound impact on modern dating culture, contributing to both positive and negative trends:
- Shifting Expectations: Casual encounters are now more socially accepted, leading to a diversification of relationship dynamics. People may choose instant hookups as a way to explore their options before committing to a more serious relationship.
- Reduced Commitment: The prevalence of instant hookups has led to a decline in the pressure to commit to long-term relationships, allowing individuals to focus on personal growth and other priorities.
- Paradox of Choice: The vast number of potential partners on dating apps can lead to a paradox of choice, making it challenging to form meaningful connections and fostering a disposable attitude towards relationships.
- Communication Skills: The convenience of online communication can sometimes hinder the development of essential face-to-face communication and relationship-building skills.
Instant hookups have become an integral part of modern dating culture, reflecting the profound impact of technology on our social lives. While they offer convenience and freedom, they also come with risks and challenges that should not be overlooked. Ultimately, the decision to engage in instant hookups should be made with a clear understanding of one's goals, boundaries, and a commitment to safety and respect for all parties involved. As we navigate this digital age of dating, it is essential to strike a balance between embracing the opportunities it offers while maintaining our personal values and well-being. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

When historian and California state librarian Kevin Starr passed away in 2017, he left behind a legacy of historiography and storytelling that was unrivaled, including his mammoth California Dream series. Former Governor Jerry Brown said that Starr “chronicled the history of California as no one else. He captured the spirit of our state and brought to life the characters and personalities that made the California story. His vision, like California itself, was bigger than life.”
Now a group of academics is taking a new look at Starr and his works, including the largely unexplored role of his Catholic faith on how he interpreted California and its history, as well as reinterpreting his works in light of new trends in academia. Jason Sexton, the editor and Russell Jeung and Peter Richardson, two contributors to the new book Redemptive Dreams: Engaging Kevin Starr’s California will take Club audiences through some of the challenges involved in interpreting Starr’s work and his impact on our understanding of California’s past, present and future, and what they mean for Starr’s view of the California dream. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Megane 2 RS Gripper LSD
Renault Megane 2 RS Gripper Diff (NDO) Using Your CWP
Gripper plate type limited slip differential unit for Megane 2 RS models with NDO gearbox.
Option A, B and our B2 spec are the most popular choice for the Megane 3 RS.
Gripper Multi-Plate Race Spec Differentials
The Gripper Limited Slip Differential uses a multi-plate design which, when it detects a difference in wheels speed across the driven axle, locks the driveshafts together increasing traction. This increase in traction equates to faster launches and increased corner exit speeds as the wheels are no longer spinning as they would with an open diff. Torque is equalised across the driven wheels sending drive torque to both whereas an open diff will send the torque to the spinning wheel wasting drive in tyre smoke! Understeer and oversteer characteristics are controlled and your car laps faster as a result.
Gripper Lifetime Warranty / Guarantee
For customers peace of mind, all Gripper Diffs are covered by a lifetime warranty / guarantee against poor workmanship and inferior materials. Cases, lids and gears are made of aero quality steel and are built to tight tolerances which make them one of the most reliable and sought after transmission products on the market. Plates have minute machined oil grooves designed to allow a microscopic layer of oil to be pumped between them to smooth out and speed up lock / unlock which has the added benefit of significantly increasing the service life. Preload and locking action is maintained for much longer and the cost of ownership of a Gripper diff is lower compared to other multiplate limited slip diff designs. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As of five minutes ago, this was what my desktop looked like. Admittedly, it’s a bit more scattered than I typically like to see, but it’s still pretty functional. Here’s what I’ve got going down.
I like to watch movies or TV shows while I’m working, because it does a good job of being background noise to filter out the kiddo while my wife plays with him. Recently, I’ve been streaming Netflix on my computer while working, and that’s been causing the temperature to spike up to 170 degrees. The other problem is that I’ve been using Spaces to coordinate my screens, and when I switch desktops, I have to pause the video, etc. Today, I seem to have found a pretty decent option to fix my problems.
I’m 6’1, and when I sit up straight in my chair I can still see the entire 23-inch Dell screen behind the iPad, meaning that I’m not losing any screen real estate. The iPad is sitting in the stand that comes with the incase Travel Kit Pro, Â which angles it back far enough to be visible while I’m upright, but not distracting. Originally, I piped the sound through my external speakers, but I switched to a pair of headphones so that I could deaden the outside sound even more. For those that are wondering, I’m watching Fastlane on Netflix – one of the best TV shows ever to be cancelled.
I like playing around with my setup every now and then and trying out new things. Today, this works out pretty well. Who knows what I’ll think tomorrow, but then again, tomorrow is just another day. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
How To Resize A Canvas Workspace Multi Mat Project
My Stampin Up Monthly Host Code is a way for me to reward anyone who places a qualifying order with me if enough people use it in the month. So please use the correct code at checkout in online shop (it changes on the 1st of every month)
In todays video I am showing you how I resized the Free Love Story Lamp project from Canvas Workspace, which I showed you how to cut several weeks ago in my Sunday night Youtube live at 5pm.
This project consists of several mats and some of the pieces would not fit on UK/US A4 card, so rather than having to cut those elements from 12×12 I resized the whole project in proportion to enable me to cut all sections from A4.
Its a little bit of a faff but once you have done it and saved your amended mats, you wont have to do it again.
This is the Canvas Project on the left and Mine on the right, if you didn’t catch me make it live, the video and blog post are further down, scroll and you should find it.

No one thinks much about the Devil anymore. In fact, words like witchcraft and black magic have a strangely medieval ring to our ears. Many people even think of Satan as somehow comic -- and therefore harmless. Yet amidst the tragedy and corruption of our own century, it is ironic that many people doubt whether an active, evil force really exists. But Satan is not dead, says author Hal Lindsey; he has simply adopted a more modern style. Spiritualism, astrology, 'new age' religion -- all of these and more are signs of the creeping influence of the Father of Lies in our time. In this book, Hal Lindsey, well-known speaker and author of the best-selling Late Great Planet Earth, outlines a battle plan for overcoming this very real and insidious enemy. The times may change, but the conflict is as old as the Garden of Eden. Whatever happened to old What's-his-name?

I got a text message from Adam yesterday for the first time since I reached out to him in December on the anniversary of our meeting. He needed some tax documents and commented on a few other things I don't want to get into here. I responded later that evening, and the whole experience was horrifically dysregulating, involving lots of crying and grief and confusion. I'm hoping we can talk (which he indicated an openness to), but I don't know what I'd want to get out of it. I don't know that it's wise for us to try again or that a relationship between us is likely to work out. I don't know that there's anything that I can say or do that would be useful. I don't know that in what will likely be a tense and anxiety-inducing experience, I can learn anything explicitly that I will be able to take at face value. So maybe I'm just craving reconnection, to know that he's okay, maybe to get some indication that he still values what we had and is grieving its loss (because it fucking means something, damn it). But I also can't shake the feeling that if we really try and really do the work, we can capitalize on our love for one another and recreate all the joy and happiness that we experienced and found so easily, once upon a time. I just find myself feeling that I don't accept the logic of any argument that says it's impossible for things to work out or that we're inherently a bad match. Yes, there would be difficulties to overcome, but to say it's impossible seems like maintaining a fixed mindset and writing people off. I can say something is unlikely (or that the effort is not worth it), but I really feel like if we could just go through the logic of it--the logic of our love for one another and what it would take to make things work--we could absolutely find a way. We just have to be willing. The irony is that, on the one hand, I'm rejecting psychological determinism by maintaining a growth mindset about him and us; on the other hand, I'm maintaining psychological determinism by believing that someone's mind can be changed if only they heard exactly the right argument or combination of words. All the while, It's hard to think that the Adam I fell in love with doesn't exist, and maybe I'm chasing a ghost. I don't know. So I'm trying to get a grip so that it doesn't completely derail things I need to get done. Fuck. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
It’s the time of year when there’s a rush of new members at the gym. It’s awesome that these folks are making a new commitment to their health, but if you number yourself among them, know that the gym, like every other place and space, has its own culture, including its own rules of etiquette. These rules are something new members should familiarize themselves with.
Beyond the general guidelines shown above, you should always make sure you’re familiar with your gym’s specific rules too. For example, some allow folks to work out barefoot, while other facilities have strict regulations against it. Other rules regarding the use of grip chalk and the practice of dropping weights are good to check. If you’re unsure about anything, ask a gym employee before you start your routine. Finally, always treat the equipment with respect, and maintain awareness of your surroundings. With those rules in mind, you should be an exemplary fellow gym-goer. (Should you find any of the rules erroneous, consider starting your own gym in your garage!)
Veteran gym goers aren’t off the hook here either; while it’s easy to cluck your tongue at the faux pas committed by the newbies, it’s up to you to set the example for them. They’ll be watching other people to figure out how to behave. So be extra vigilant about your own etiquette; e.g., in a case where you’re unsure if something needs wiping down, just wipe it, so that others pick up on the idea of what should be done.
Gyms are busy right now, and the more consideration everyone decides to give each other, the better experience everyone can have, and the healthier everyone can become. That’s a resolution we should all be able to get behind.
1: Tidy up after yourself. Rack weights in their proper place and wipe down equipment after you’re done.
2: Use equipment properly. Don’t do bicep curls in the power rack or toss dumbbells around like medicine balls. If you don’t know how to use something, ask an employee.
3: Don’t hover near equipment you want to use. Likewise, don’t hog machines. Get in, do you work, and get out.
4: Don’t drop the weights unless you have to. It’s dangerous, loud, damaging to the floor, and typically unnecessary.
5: This isn’t social hour. Don’t make (or take) phone calls. Avoid giving unsolicited advice to other gym-goers. In general, Don’t bother people. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

China Asset Management is no longer the undisputed top dog in the mainland funds industry in terms of assets under management – but it was the most profitable last year.
Thanks to the runaway success of its internet finance-related money market fund, Tianjin-based Tianhong Asset Management has posted swift recent AUM growth to overtake ChinaAMC.
Tianhong’s assets nearly trebled in the first quarter, to Rmb553 billion from Rmb194 billion, according to Haitong Securities. It has usurped ChinaAMC as the biggest mainland fund house by AUM, despite the latter’s rising 53% to Rmb348 billion from Rmb228 billion in the same period.
The two firms are now way out in front in this respect, with ChinaAMC now boasting almost double the AUM of its closest rival. China Southern, ICBC Credit Suisse and Harvest rank third to fifth, with AUM ranging from Rmb191.7 billion to Rmb155.8 billion.
Tianhong’s success is based on its move to attach its money market fund to Yu’e Bao (‘leftover treasure’), an investment service provided by Alipay, which facilitates the payment transactions of e-commerce website Taobao.
ChinaAMC has also partnered with internet giants – Baidu and Tencent – to launch internet finance products. ChinaAMC Caifubao (‘wealth treasure’) had an AUM of Rmb82 billion as of March 31.
But profitability statistics tell a different story. ChinaAMC was the most profitable mainland fund house last year, posting net income of Rmb971 million on AUM of Rmb228 billion as of end-2013, according to consultancy Howbuy. The Shanghai-based firm analysed 30 shareholders’ annual reports to obtain this information.
Tianhong’s Rmb11 million of profits on Rmb194 billion in AUM put it way down the list at 25th. E Fund, China Southern, GF and Bosera ranked second to fifth, with profit levels ranging from Rmb614 million to Rmb425 million in that order.
These differences are mainly down to business mix. Fund houses with expertise in equity tend to be more profitable as they charge much higher management fees. The fee for money market funds is usually 0.3%, while for hybrid equity funds it is 1.5%, according to Howbuy.
ChinaAMC received Rmb2.4 billion in management fees last year, with 74.5% coming from hybrid equity funds. More than 60% of the management fees at the 10 most profitable mainland houses – apart from ICBC Credit Suisse – came from hybrid equity funds.
Four of the 30 fund firms surveyed suffered losses last year: Caitong, Founder Fubon, Gfund and Lord Abbett China. The latter, for example, took in management fees of Rmb502 million, but recorded a loss of Rmb9.7 million. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

There are two types of air conditioning systems: ductless, or individual air conditioning where outdoor units are located outside of the building and individual indoor units are placed in each room, and ducted, or central air conditioning where the air is taken through ducts from one point to each and every room, the latter being the most frequently used and preferred because of its ability to provide uniform temperatures throughout the house, maintaining the same temperature setting in all of the rooms.
From time to time, the air conditioning ducting, grills and diffusers require maintenance or need to be changed, in order for the entire HVAC system to provide the expected comfortable temperature set on the central unit. For example, dust buildup or animal hair can clog the air filters, which are the most commonly and frequently changed parts in the entire system. Not changing the air filters at the right time can result in wasted energy and shortened equipment life.
Whether you are planning to install a new air conditioning system in your home or in a new office building, hospital, school, shopping mall or any other place, or your AC system seems not to work properly and you need to change one or more components in order to maximize its efficiency, Air Conditioning Ducting, Grills & Diffusers UAE offer a wide range of premium parts that can be purchased for a comfortable temperature-controlled residential, commercial or industrial building, an enhanced indoor climate, for cutting running costs and for stopping unnecessary energy losses caused by an improperly working system.

“Material microsurgery” developed in Australia strengthens steel with e-waste
By Staff Reporter
Share this story
A team from the University of NSW has developed a technique for “material microsurgery” which they say allows them to extract useful elements from electronic waste for purposes such as surface coatings to strengthen steels.
A paper by Professor Veena Sahajwalla and Rumana Hossain — both of UNSW’s Sustainable Materials and Research (SMaRT) Centre — has described the technique in the American Chemical Society’s OmegaJournal. Another paper by the pair — in Materials Today Sustainability and titled “Science of Microrecycling” — describes other recent contributions to the field.
“We use the term material microsurgery because we were inspired by the processes medical surgeons use in microsurgery where they apply targeted and selective solutions to problems,” said Sahajwalla in a statement.
“Existing waste and recycling technology doesn’t do this for our traditional waste treatments. We need to step up to do the things that were thought unimaginable for waste management so it can be cutting edge.”
According to a statement from UNSW, microsurgery uses “foundational selective thermal transformation techniques” developed at Sahajwalla’s SMaRT Centre to extract valuable core elements from electronic waste. These can then be used “as a high-performance hybrid layer” to coat the surface of steels and improve their performance, meaning “regular steel can be enhanced to have a ‘super surface’ via the modification.”
The paper in Omega details the technique using glass and plastic from old computer monitors and copper from PCBs in a thin film layer on steel.
“A key challenge is that existing, centralised recycling and waste treatment methods at scale often just turn things like PET bottles back into PET bottles. What we need is a recycling and manufacturing system that can innovate to reform waste for more diverse and value-added end uses,” she said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Pre-trial set Dec. 18 for aggravated forgery case
Published 12:26 pm Saturday, September 19, 2009
An Austin woman will have a Dec. 18 pre-trial hearing for two aggravated forgery charges.
Patricia Rodriguez-Sanchez, 27, appeared in Mower County court Thursday for a contested omnibus hearing, in which the court decided they will let the defendant go to California to pick up her children before trial, pending approval from the bail-bonding agency.
Rodriguez-Sanchez’s trial would begin Jan. 11, 2010. She is not in custody but had been ordered to check in with the court on a regular basis.
The charges against Rodriguez-Sanchez stem from a June 12 search of her 1110 11th Ave. S.W. home that uncovered a number of fraudulent IDs and letters, according to a court complaint.
Authorities found a Quality Pork Processors “Employee of the Month” plaque from 2006 that had Rodriguez-Sanchez’s picture but the name “Lisa M. Salazar” on it. Other items were found in that name, including an IRS document, a Minnesota Health Care Program card for her 5-year old child and a state ID. Authorities also confirmed with Mower County Human Services that Rodriguez-Sanchez had been receiving health benefits since 2002.
Rodriguez-Sanchez came home just as detectives were leaving, and she told them three other people lived in the house, including Luis Alberto Sanchez-Perez, 18.
Authorities found a fraudulent state ID, Social Security card and Mexico driver’s license of Sanchez-Perez’s, as well as numerous QPP pay stubs falsely identifying him.
He has also been charged with two counts of aggravated forgery. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
1 of 3 men accused in mosque bombing negotiating plea deal
Published 8:05 am Thursday, December 13, 2018
ST. PAUL — An attorney for one of three Illinois militia members accused of bombing a Minnesota mosque says his client is negotiating a possible plea deal with federal prosecutors.
Michael James McWhorter pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal hate crime charges, but the Star Tribune reports his attorney told a federal magistrate that McWhorter was working on a possible deal.
According to court documents, McWhorter admitted he, Michael Hari and Joe Morris drove from Clarence, Illinois, in August 2017 and attacked Dar al-Farooq Islamic Center. McWhorter allegedly said the men did it to scare Muslims from the country.
McWhorter also allegedly admitted the men attempted to bomb an Illinois women’s clinic. Federal charges were filed in both states. McWhorter’s and Morris’ cases have been combined in Minnesota, while Hari’s cases remain separate. Hari is still in federal custody in Illinois. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
When my friend Doug told me he had inherited a 1939 Allis Chalmers tractor, it got my attention. After all, it DOES have an engine and 4 wheels, the basic ingredients to attract any gearhead. However, my interest was particularly piqued due to my own personal encounter with the exact same model tractor at age 12 (the tractor I was driving overturned at 25 mph and exploded in a spectacular fireball… but that’s a story for another time).
Doug’s Allis Chalmer model “B” came from his family farm in Northern Colorado, and Doug has restored the beast to beautiful working condition.
The Allis Chalmers company created quite a stir when they introduced this little jewel in 1937. Prior to that, most farm tractors were designed for larger farm operations, and were priced well out of range of the smaller (under 100 acre) farms which made up about 60% of all farms in America. The Model “B” was an overnight sensation, and quickly found its place on America’s small farms. By the time Allis Chalmers ceased manufacturing the Model B in 1957, it had produced over 125,000 of them.
The Model B is a perfect study of minimalist 30’s Art Deco styling. Its beauty is in its simplicity. And it was designed with self-maintenance in mind. Many of the parts were standard off-the-shelf items used in other automobiles. The minimalist approach applied to unnecessary accouterments as well.. no need for fancy stuff like engine gages, lights, starters, or even brakes (The only brakes available were an ineffective manual brake handle mounted on each side of the driver’s seat for each main wheel, and actuated by hand/arm)
According to Doug, the rated horsepower of these little 2 liter flathead engines was around 18 HP. But with appropriate gearing, this little tractor can pull a stump out of the ground!
Doug’s tractor is by no-means a smiley-faced garage or show queen, but instead is employed on a regular basis tackling chores around his shop, such as mowing the 1 acre adjacent meadow.
Operation is simplicity itself: Visually check the fuel level; turn on the fuel valve below the accessible carburetor, set the choke position, and then employ the hand crank at the front of the tractor. Usually just 2 or 3 pulls is sufficient to have this little beauty purring and ready to put in a day’s work!

[Avionics Magazine 11-11-2016] The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has opened for comments a proposal regarding an amendment to current legilation that would enable easier access for general aviation pilots to instrument flight rules flying, NPA 2016-14. The objective of the Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) is to provide a more accessible instrument rating for pilots holding non-commercial licenses in general aviation.
Piper Comanche 400–powered by an 8-cylinder Lycoming. Photo: AOPA.
Under the NPA, EASA is prosing the introduction of a Basic Instrument Rating (BIR), which is a qualification to fly in Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), but based on more proportionate requirements when compared to the traditional instrument rating and tailored to the need of GA pilots.
Key objectives for the BIR include the following:
- Training that is entirely competency-based. There will be no minimum hour requirements set for the BIR. All the required competencies that a GA pilot needs for an IFR flight are analyzed and grouped into three modules of training. Candidates will progress to the next module or skill test when ready to do so.
- Training that is flexible. The core module of instrument flying skills must always be completed first, and after having done so, the candidate may choose which further module to tackle next, within a timescale that suits them. This takes into account the fact that GA pilots may often not have the time or financial resources to commit to a more conventional full course of training towards the Instrument Rating IR.
- Focusing on the practical needs of GA pilots. Holders of the BIR should feel confident to use it to the full extent of its privileges. While IFR flight has many safety advantages, what is central to its philosophy is to assess the risks of a particular flight in a more systematic way. To this end, the training will be focused on the real-world instrument flying needs of GA pilots, with particular emphasis on practical application of threat and error management. This will ensure that the full safety and utility benefits of IFR flight are reaped.
- High standards of training and testing. Despite the focus on GA needs, practical training and testing standards will be similar to those of the current part-Flight Crew Licensing (FCL) instrument ratings, particularly with regard to interaction with other airspace users. It is very important that GA pilots flying under IFR have the required competencies for this.
EASA has opened the proposal to comments until Jan. 31, 2017. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The 2020 Summer Olympics isn’t the only major event that is happening in Japan this year. Just a couple of months before the international multi-sport event takes place, the Super Nintendo World is scheduled to open at Universal Studios Japan. Needless to say, this exciting theme park will make every 90s kid’s dream come true.
Two years ago, Universal announced its plan of creating the Mario themed park. And it will be set on the Osaka-based Universal Park. Along with the announcement, the company released a teaser trailer to give eager fans a sneak peek of what the world would be like.
Fans of Super Mario can now live their dream as the new attraction is an immersive Nintendo universe. Just think of it as a life-size, living video game where you play as one of the characters. You’ll be collecting coins, hitting some question boxes, sliding down tunnels and pretty much anything else that Mario does in the game. Only this time, you won’t be just sitting and holding a game console. You will be living the game and experiencing the adventure in an actual environment.
Guests will be given a Power Up wristband that syncs them to the game. To activate the band, guests will have to download an app onto their smartphones to complete the sync. While inside the park, players can team up with friends to fight enemies and collect coins and other items. Teams will have to compete with each other and whoever collects the highest score wins the game. Furthermore, the theme park will recreate the exact Super Mario environment including the Mushroom Kingdom along with castles for Princess Peach and Bowser.
As 2020 spring draws nearer, fans are also getting more and more excited. Apparently, they can’t seem to wait for the grand opening any longer. And to add more excitement, Universal just released a few snippets of the theme park. The epic park also features ultra-immersive Mario Kart that puts you in the driver’s seat. Additionally, Yoshi will give you a thrilling ride as you explore the area on its back.
The new attraction will give immersive experience where guests can play the game as one of the characters
Universal Studios Japan have the privilege to experience this park first. But the company announced that the Mario-themed attraction will also rise in Universal Parks in Hollywood, Orlando and Singapore. Calling all gamers around the world! Are you ready to take your gaming experience to the next level and embark on a real-life adventure? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Day #1300 (Fri., July 26, 2013) – Making Up Languages
- Main Admin
Katie has really been into make up new languages as of late. We’re not sure exactly where this comes from, but perhaps it is from watching Dora. She doesn’t understand Spanish, so perhaps she figures out if she just makes up words other people will understand her? Anyway, she will go up to people she meets and talk her “gibberish” and they will just stare at her with that “What language are you speaking little girl?” look.
When I came home from work this evening Katie was playing on the hill in the front of our house. This seems to be her favorite play area as there are trees and acorns and bugs and all sorts of cool stuff to explore and gather. While my wife and I were making dinner she came into the house to get a pair of scissors. She said that she needed to fix the sick trees. We could peer out through the living room window and see her happily trimming away. I’m sure she had more fun than the trees.
With Katie so wound up we were thinking that we would have to go to Michael’s and pick up the paintings that they had framed for us. That was not to be as Katie seemed to wind down later in the evening and was content to just roam around the house, play with her toys, and watch her shows on television.
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY
1) Katie loves to play on the hill at the front of our house. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Report: Myths blocking road to electric vehicle adoption
VANCOUVER — A report released by BC Hydro today finds cost is the number one perceived barrier preventing British Columbians from purchasing an electric vehicle.
While the increasing price of gas has a third of British Columbians saying they are interested in making the switch to an electric vehicle, more than half believe electric vehicles are still too expensive.
The report from BC Hydro, entitled Unplugged: Myths block road to the electric car dream [PDF, 212 KB] has good news for the more than 55 per cent of those surveyed who said their prime motivation for buying an electric vehicle would be to save money on gas and maintenance.
According to the report, over the long-term, some electric vehicles are less expensive than comparable gas-powered cars in ownership costs. One of the reasons electric vehicles are cheaper is due to B.C. having among the lowest electricity rates in North America.
This is how popular models stack up in cost of ownership per year (excluding depreciation costs):
- 2018 Nissan Leaf ($2,848) vs. 2018 Honda Civic ($4,313)
- 2018 Chevrolet Bolt ($3,299) vs. 2018 Chevrolet Spark ($4,298)
- 2018 Kia Soul EV ($3,109) vs. 2018 Kia Soul gas-powered ($4,845)
While sticker shock is the most common perceived barrier for British Columbians, the report also found other misconceptions, including:
- Range anxiety: almost 40 per cent think today’s electric cars do not have enough battery range for longer trips.
- Charging station availability: almost 90 per cent said there was not an electrical vehicle charging station available at their home or residential complex, even though a standard 120-volt household outlet can be used for vehicle charging.
- Model variety: only 20 per cent said there was an electric vehicle that offered exactly what they need in terms of size and features.
This year, there are seven fully electric vehicle models for sale in B.C. with a battery range of at least 150 kilometres that are less than $40,000 after a provincial rebate. Ninety-five per cent of all car trips in British Columbia are less than 30 kilometres.
“BC Hydro is supporting electric vehicle adoption in B.C. by working with local, provincial and federal governments on initiatives to expand its fast charging station network,” said Chris O’Riley, BC Hydro’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “There are currently more than 1,000 charging stations – including 30 fast charging stations, with 26 additional stations planned to be added this year.”
B.C. is one of only three Canadian provinces to offer rebates for the purchase of an electric vehicle. Rebates of up to $5,000 are available for battery electric vehicles, and up to $2,500 for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. When combined with SCRAP-IT program incentives, total savings on the purchase of a battery electric vehicle could be up to $11,000.
Earlier this year, the BC Government also announced three new rebates for the purchase and installation of electric vehicle chargers at homes, residential complexes and workplaces.
