The Global Methodist (GM) Church has approved Mid-America Christian University as a recommended educational institution, the GM Church announced this week.
This distinction means that the GM Church officially endorses MACU as an institution at which persons who reside outside of the United States or western Europe can complete courses to satisfy the educational requirement for ordination as a deacon or elder in the GM Church. The decision to place MACU on the recommended educational institution list was made by the GM Church’s Transitional Leadership Council last month and formally announced this week.
As an endorsed agency of the Church of God (Anderson, Ind.), MACU upholds Christian belief in the same Wesleyan theological stream as the GM Church.
“As an institution of Christian higher education deeply rooted in the Wesleyan holiness reform movement of the Church of God, we are pleased to extend the hand of fellowship to the new Global Methodist Church,” said MACU President Rev. Phil Greenwald. “Through this exciting new partnership, we continue our historic commitment of training leaders for ministry in the church and in the marketplace. We welcome GMC students to join us on campus or online to study ministry, business, education, counseling and more.”
Greenwald said that GMC students will find that MACU aligns theologically with their values on the authority of Scripture, the Lordship of Christ and a commitment to personal evangelism and discipleship.
MACU School of Ministry Chair Dr. Justin Key said that MACU has a devoted history and heritage of training students for full-time vocational ministry in the Church of God, the larger Wesleyan tradition and beyond.
“For 70 years, MACU has trained students for Christian leadership and developed programs to prepare students to enter ministry in the Church of God and the broader, historic Wesleyan tradition,” Key said. “We are well-positioned to meet the needs of students worldwide whether on-ground, online or virtually. We are excited to partner with the Global Methodist Church and continue preparing students to advance the mission of God’s kingdom.”
Formed in 1953 for the purpose of training leaders for ministry, MACU has emerged as a leader in offering on-campus and online classes in a variety of degree options, each taught from a Wesleyan perspective.
In 2016, MACU established the School of Wesleyan Studies (SoWS). Led by Dr. Cliff Sanders, Director of the Wesley Center at Crossings Community Church in Oklahoma City, the SoWS provides material, training and resources for the application of Wesleyan theology to the practice of ministry in the local church. Sanders, a foremost expert in Wesleyan theology, has authored two books on the subject.
“MACU’s tradition being Wesleyan emphasizes that we must know the truth, value the truth and do the truth. We want others to not only know the truth about Wesleyan theology, but we want their hearts to be moved and it to matter to them and to certainly practice these truths in their daily living,” Sanders said.
MACU is the first educational institution recommended by the GM Church for persons pursuing ordination and residing outside of the U.S. and western Europe.

MP David Bahati: author of Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill
A new report claims that American Christian leaders continue to influence and promote homophobic politics in the constitutions and laws of African countries.
In 2009, international pressure forced a number of US Christian leaders to retract their support for Uganda’s notorious Anti-Homosexuality Bill, despite reports that they had been players in conceiving the legislation.
Their most recent efforts in promoting an anti-gay agenda on the continent are now documented in Colonizing African Values: How the US Christian Right is Transforming Sexual Politics in Africa, released by Boston think-tank, Political Research Associates (PRA).
The report authored by Rev. Dr. Kapya Kaoma, an Anglican priest originally from Zambia, investigates the Pat Robertson-founded American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), the Mormon-led Family Watch International, and the Roman Catholic Human Life International, as well as a network of Christian dominionists known as the Transformation Movement or New Apostolic Reformation.
“With a Christianity saturated with demons and the prosperity gospel (which claims that simple faith in Jesus Christ will bring wealth and well-being), Africa provides a receptive home for Christian Right movements that may be more marginal or a minority in the United States,” says the report.
It claims that the ACLJ has attempted to influence the constitution-writing process in Zimbabwe and Kenya, and details the anti-LGBT activities of the other groups in countries such as Uganda, Malawi and Zambia.
“Hiding behind African staff, these groups have established local offices and befriended key African political and religious leaders,” says PRA on its website. “The charismatic beliefs shared by many African Christians and American religious conservatives has also created an opening for the US right-wing to exploit.”
The report adds: “On the parliamentary front, the groups aim to bring about a new legal infrastructure in Africa that enshrines their Christian Right worldview.”
It says that one of the key reasons these groups are successful in Africa is because they “are successful in painting African campaigners for LGBT rights as dupes of neocolonial forces trying to impose an alien philosophy on the continent”.
Ironically, while many African leaders believe that homosexuality is not natural to Africa, they fail to acknowledge that most anti-gay legislation in Africa today was actually created by British colonial governments.
The report notes that the “US Christian Right influence adds a distinctly homophobic spin to an African cultural tradition open to viewing same-sex orientation as a sign of a respected ancestral spirit rather than a demon possession”.
The report recommends a number of strategies to support LGBT people in sub-Saharan Africa, including:
• Confront the myth that human rights advocacy is Western neocolonialism;
• Respect and follow the leadership of African human rights promoters;
• Tell Africans what the U.S. Christian Right really stands for;
• Support the visibility of LGBT Africans as a means of curbing homophobia;
• Support African leaders who courageously stand for human rights;
• Put meaningful pressure on African political leadership to respect human rights. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Durban Pride 2013, which concluded with a day event at the North Beach Amphitheatre on Saturday, was dubbed a success, despite a lack of funding and not hosting the traditional parade or march this year.
According to Nonhlanhla Mkhize, one of the organisers from the Durban Lesbian & Gay Community & Health Centre, around 3,000 people attended the event throughout the day.
The festival consisted of speeches in support of LGBTI equality and rights as well as performances by various LGBTI artists, with food and drink available for the revellers.
“There were a lot of performers and DJS who showcased their talent. We had a varied mix of performances on stage. I was impressed with the skill and talent of the LGBTI community,” commented Mkhize.
She acknowledged that more people might have attended the event had there not been an entry fee this year, a requirement imposed on the organisers by a lack of funding.
“It was an unfortunate thing. We did not get a sponsor so we had to request a donation of R30. But there were also nice gardens outside the area we fenced off where some people chose to spend the day,” Mkhize told Mambaonline.
Another significant difference this year was that there was no parade or march through the city’s streets. Mkhize explained that this was in large part due to bureaucratic delays by the municipality.
She said that it was a “logistical nightmare” and that delays in securing a venue meant that the route near the beach could not be confirmed within the six month application period required by the authorities. It also affected the organisers’ efforts to source sponsors.
“Our major challenge was getting the municipality’s buy-in early on. Having their logo on our correspondence opens doors, and we didn’t have that,” she explained.
Mkhize said that she would not say at this point that homophobia was behind the problems but said that organisers would put forward their applications for next year to the authorities this month.
She also confirmed that the intention is to hold a Durban Pride parade again in 2014.
“Next year we intend to take it back to the streets. That’s what we’re hoping for, so we are submitting things now so that we don’t have the same problems next year.”
Mkhize added that organisers will take the opportunity to educate the community about why Pride events have parades and marches.
“We will circulate much more information about why we march and parade earlier. There is both an activist and celebratory element. We hope to encourage people to prepare costumes and message t-shirts earlier for next year. Our hope is that when we take it to the streets, people will not just wear their usual clothes – but constumes and messages that reflect who we are,” she said.
Saturday’s event was attended by LGBTI community groups (including the Coalition of African Lesbians, Pietermaritzburg Gay & Lesbian Network, FEW, One in Nine, Sisterbend and Joburg Pride), gay-friendly religious groups (including Victory Ministries International, Deo Gloria Family Church and Upper Room), as well as two political parties, the ANC and the DA.
“Pride was successful in that it happened, and brought together activists, the community and a sense of fun. But I think that there’s a lot of room to grow,” said Mkhize.
The week preceding Saturday’s celebration saw a series of LGBTI events being held across the city, including the Durban Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the Miss Gay Durban pageant, a boat cruise and a variety of parties.

Saiga Antelopes Face Migration Crisis
Asia’s Odd-ball Antelope Faces Migration Crisis
ScienceDaily (Mar. 19, 2008) — Take a deer’s body, attach a camel’s head and add a Jimmy Durante nose, and you have a saiga — the odd-ball antelope with the enormous schnoz that lives on the isolated steppes of Central Asia. Unfortunately, they are as endangered as they are strange-looking due to over-hunting. Now, according to a recent Wildlife Conservation Society study, their migration routes are in jeopardy as well. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the past 24 hours I’ve set two personal records – 11pm at the office (they turned the lights off at 10:45! It was freaky!) and slurping down my lunch in 15 minutes with a break to talk to my boss.
In other words, I’m super busy, and please excuse the lack of blogging. I almost had a panic attack on Sunday thinking that I’d missed Cookie of the Fortnight. No worries, that’s coming on Friday/Saturday. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Defense Department is still operating under a 2021 policy that sets a goal for active duty units to spend three months at home for every month they spend deployed, a spokeswoman confirmed to Military Times on Friday, but the Pentagon won’t disclose how often it’s being met.
The policy, which technically expired in November but is still part of the department’s force management guidance, includes a waiver process for units to revert to the mandatory minimum 1:2 deployment-to-dwell ratio, but the numbers on waiver requests and approvals are classified, Army Maj. Grace Geiger said.
“The Department has multiple processes in place to identify, approve, and track individuals and units not meeting the goal,” she added, including oversight from the services, the Joint Staff and the defense secretary’s office.
The Pentagon had not answered follow-up questions seeking details of these oversight processes as of Friday afternoon.
Questions about the Pentagon policy emerged following an Army Times investigation last week that found that members of Army armor brigades — units that largely have not met the dwell time goals over the past decade — were twice as likely to kill themselves than other active duty soldiers in recent years.
Long periods of high operational tempo can increase a service member’s suicide risk, according to Craig Bryan, a psychologist and mental health researcher at Ohio State University who spoke to Army Times.
Bryan, a former Air Force psychologist, was a member of the suicide prevention independent review committee convened by the Pentagon in 2022.
That committee found that “training demands and requirements … [are] primary sources of stress, burnout and demoralization.” Other common stressors include shoddy computers, byzantine promotion policies, unsupportive leaders and poor housing.
Army tank brigades have flirted with or broken the dwell threshold in recent years.
The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team returned from a nine-month South Korea rotation in August 2021. But the Raider Brigade rapidly deployed to Europe six months later in February 2022, when Russia expanded its invasion of Ukraine. The brigade’s families were furious about the move, detailing the hardships they faced during a March 2022 town hall with the Army’s then-top noncommissioned officer at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
This month, the Fort Carson, Colorado-based 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team of the 4th Infantry Division, deploys to Europe approximately 16 months after returning from an eight-month Poland mission in December 2022.
Former officials argue that the sustained operational tempo has harmed units as well.
Retired Gen. Robert “Abe” Abrams, who led Army Forces Command before retiring in 2021, previously told Military Times that the Army’s armor units struggle with a 1:2 deployment-to-dwell ratio at current resourcing levels and “cannot sustain that tempo indefinitely.”
“That’s what’s crushing them,” he said.
Other communities, such as air defense, have faced high deployment rates as well.
The Navy has also dealt with a bruising tempo in recent years, with an ever-increasing assortment of missions. The COVID pandemic only exacerbated that pace, as pre-cruise quarantines and zero port calls became the order of the day.
The aircraft carrier Nimitz and its strike group spent an historic 11 months at sea from April 2020 through February 2021.
Precisely 22 months later, a perfect 1:2 dwell ratio, they were back on deployment. Policy dictates they would have needed a waiver to deploy again that quickly.

Here you will see a list of the materials I use in lessons.
I do not require students to purchase all the materials,
but if you decide that you want to own your own copy, you can either order them or buy them directly from me.
I accept cash, checks, and credit cards.
Materials used in lessons:
Intelli Tuner and Metronome
This is required. The student must have a device to tune the cello and a metronome is essential for practicing.
I highly recomment the Intelli metronome-tuner combo. It also can produce and sustain every pitch in over five different octaves. This can be used as a very helpful practice aid when working on intonation.
170 Foundation Studies for Violoncello - Schroeder
Double Stops for Cello - Rick Mooney
Suzuki Cello Books
Which Suzuki cello book I use depends on the playing level of the student. I will inform you in your lesson about which book you are in.
Position Pieces for Cello - Rick Mooney
I use this book to teach students the different positions on the cello and how to shift.
Stringvision Bow Grip
These things are great. I use one on my bow, too. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Maxxis Sweeps Top 4 in DH at Lenzerheide World Cup; Schurter Wins XC
The latest World Cup was a smashing success for Maxxis’ sponsored riders, with Santa Cruz Syndicate’s Greg Minnaar leading a sweep of the top four in men’s downhill and Scott-SRAM’s Nino Schurter taking his fourth World Cup cross country victory of the year. The race was held July 8-9 in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.
Swiss native Schurter extended his winning streak by riding through a slippery, rain-drenched course replete with roots and steep climbs. According to cyclingnews.com, a finish of 22nd or better in one of the final two rounds will clinch his 2017 title.
Unlike cross country racers, downhill riders faced a dry, dusty course in Lenzerheide. Minnaar took his final, winning run in 2:57.042, with Canyon Factory Team’s Troy Brosnan in second place, MS Mondraker’s Danny Hart third and teammate Laurie Greenland fourth. The victory was Minnaar’s second World Cup win of the season; he is the only rider so far this year to have won two rounds. The win was also the 75th podium for the legendary rider, who now leads World Cup downhill rankings. “The funny thing is after 75 podiums, I am still having a fun time, and I honestly feel like I am 18 or 19,” he told intocycling.co.za.
Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja took second place in the women’s cross country race. Starting strong, Dahle Flesja and another rider opened a substantial lead in the first lap. She took the lead solo halfway through the initial lap and held it until the final lap. “I’m really happy with my result, and I’m also happy for Annie [Last] winning her first World Cup ever. There were a lot of strong women out there, and you need a good day to be top three,” she told cyclingnews.com.
In women’s downhill, Pivot’s Emilie Siegenthaler claimed a podium spot for Maxxis when she finished third. Like Schurter, Siegenthaler, a six-time Swiss national champion, took a place on the World Cup podium in her home country.
Maxxis congratulates Nino Schurter and Greg Minnaar on their victories and thanks all of these riders for their fine performances. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Learn all about famous moments in history that never actually happened. One such event involves a 1938 radio broadcast announcing the invasion of aliens from outer space with in-depth reporting of the attack. But how can this be? When George Washington was a young boy, did he really chop down his father's cherry tree? Did Christopher Columbus actually discover America? Did the Pilgrims and all Indigenous Peoples come together in 1620 for the first Thanksgiving feast? Did an apple fall on Sir Isaac Newton's head leading him to "discover" gravity? Did Benjamin Franklin fly a key on a kite to "discover" electricity? Did Emperor Nero really play the fiddle while Rome burned?

"Marketers need the right data, in the right place, at the right time, in order to improve execution," said Simon Bradstock, general manager of Experian Hitwise.
The dashboards allow clients of both services to better understand how internal site trends -- seen through Adobe SiteCatalyst -- compare with consumer behavior on competitive Web sites, delivered through Experian Hitwise.
Per the expanded pact, clients can now plan more efficiently using side-by-side comparisons of internal and external visitor metrics, and marry campaign and channel analytics with upstream, downstream and custom traffic sets.
The full view is expected to help marketers better understand and react more quickly to market threats and opportunities.
Bradstock called it "a leap forward in delivering greater flexibility and applicability of that data."
At the beginning of the year, Adobe Systems announced the acquisition of Demdex, a privately held data management company. In turn, the company rolled audience segmentation services into the Omniture business unit.
Adding Demdex to the Adobe Online Marketing Suite was expected to give advertisers and publishers an audience optimization solution to deliver a more relevant digital experiences to customers. Buying specific audiences helps advertisers efficiently spend ad dollars and avoid advertising to consumers who don't meet specific criteria.
Per the deal, the Omniture Online Marketing Suite platform suite now offers data collection, analytics through reporting, and audience optimization. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Academic wikis are third-party wikis meant to be used in an academic context with a greater emphasis on features like access control, content approval, and research analysis.
For other third-party uses of MediaWiki, please see Sysadmin hub.
Many academic wikis are using Extension:Semantic MediaWiki and leveraging the semantic web to share data. The MediaWiki API can also be used to mine data from other sites; combined with an scheduler program like Cron this can lead to semi-automated data distribution.
The vampire model consists of two rules:
- only registered users may edit
- only registered users may create accounts
This method of account-creation removes the burden of making all accounts from single user/admin, this greatly simplifies matters. Because trust of peers is relatively high in an academic setting, a single account can be made for a P.I., who then can make accounts for their students. Because MediaWiki logs all account activity it is (relatively) easy to track accountability for creation of spam/bot accounts.
- Leverage an existing LDAP (including Microsoft Active Directory, Kerberos) as a single sign-on
- Security issues with authorization extensions
- Collaboration with commercial entities on academic projects, may require site content security. This extension has been created for this purpose.
- Bundled with core, required for complex templating including most WP templates.
- Bundled with core, required for especially complex templating including many WP templates.
- Bundled with core, 2010-era wikitext editor sponsored by Wikimedia.
- A Polished skin for MediaWiki that comes bundled by default.
- Bundled with core, displays citations to show where information originated. This is particularly useful when merging data from a single document on multiple wiki pages to indicate why the information is authoritative.
Navigation & Search
- Navigation aid when traversing the wiki, usually used to display and highlight a category hierarchy.
- Improve category listings with counters for contained pages of sub-categories.
- An alternative to the default search engine, lightweight but allowing more robust indexing of content through the third-party Sphinx engine.
- Extension:Semantic MediaWiki
- Allows you to add meta data to content in wiki articles and providing a query language for dynamically retrieving content including properties and lists of articles. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

After weekly showdowns on Ghanaian television, the curtains of the 2024 Ghana’s Most Beautiful (GMB) show were finally closed. We have been served with weekly GTP Life.Styled inspiration by the contestants, the hosts, and the judges.
Throughout the competition, all eyes were on the contestants vying for the prestigious crown but we might have missed the stunning ensembles worn by the hosts of the show. Cookie Tee and Anita Akuffo, two celebrated media personalities, graced the stage with elegance, grace, and an unmistakable flair.
Thanks to GTP, Ghana’s premier textile and fashion brand, let’s throw a spotlight on the hosts whose tailored pieces showcased the vibrancy and richness of Ghanaian culture.
GTP’s involvement in Ghana’s Most Beautiful show is more than just a fashion statement; it’s a partnership rooted in a shared vision. GMB celebrates women from all walks of life, highlighting their intelligence, talents, and cultural values. GTP, as a longstanding symbol of Ghanaian identity and craftsmanship, aligns perfectly with this vision by using its fabrics to tell stories that resonate with Ghanaians and Africans alike. This partnership ensures that the African fashion displayed on stage is not only eye-catching but also authentic, reflecting the rich traditions and creativity that are intrinsic to Ghana’s fabric industry.
Queens Embodying Modern Elegance in GTP
Cookie Tee, known for her energetic yet down-to-earth personality, stepped onto the GMB stage each week with the kind of confidence that matched the beauty of her outfits designed by LaurenHaute. At the grand finale, she was in two distinct yet equally stunning pieces that perfectly mirrored her vibrant persona.
Known for her soft-spoken charm and commanding presence Anita Akuffo was no less radiant co-hosting with Cookie Tee each week night. Styled by Adjoa Yeboah, Anita’s outfits were a perfect blend of sophistication and cultural pride. Anita has long been an advocate for promoting Ghanaian culture, and her choice of clothing for the GMB finals was a testament to that passion.
At the end of the 2024 Ghana’s Most Beautiful, Cookie Tee and Anita Akuffo stood as shining examples of how fashion can be both beautiful and meaningful. Dressed in GTP’s finest, they were not just hosts—they were the embodiment of Ghanaian elegance, tradition, and modernity.
GTP: The Heartbeat of Ghanaian Fashion
At the heart of this unforgettable fashion display was GTP, the brand that has, for decades, been synonymous with Ghanaian heritage and style. Founded in 1966, GTP has been at the forefront of the textile industry in Ghana, creating fabrics that tell stories, celebrate cultural diversity, and promote African pride. Their designs are more than just clothing—they are symbols of identity, unity, and creativity. GTP is designed, printed, distributed, and marketed in Ghana with ambitions to expand into the international market.
In August 2022, GTP repositioned the brand to bring Premium African Fashion to the world. This involved changing its tagline from Timeless to Life.Styled in line with the mission to provide quality, authentic, fashionable, African-heritage fabrics, mirroring the African-inspired designs and stories.

Annual profections are a simple yet powerful timing technique in traditional natal astrology. Using this technique, you can identify the specific planets and houses that will be activated for any given year, and therefore learn which themes and events might manifest during that time period. This presentation teaches you how to calculate annual profections and apply them to natal charts.
This is a recording of a webinar that was presented to the Tucson Astrologers’ Guild on September 9, 2023.
Tag: Canada-US Relations
The 2024 astrology forecast of Canada reveals some major shifts for the country, including a possible federal election. Justin Trudeau’s days in office are numbered, and the people of Canada are facing epochal shifts.
Canada’s 2022 Libra ingress astrology chart suggests that there could be some surprising or revelatory news this fall, either delivered by the Prime Minister or about him (or both). Power struggles and deep transformations are on full display. Expect major shake-ups impacting Canada’s identity and foreign relations. There could be major developments related to lawsuits and court challenges, and the people are seeking escape and reprieve.
In keeping with the tradition that I started this year, let’s take a peek at the chart of Canada’s Capricorn ingress. If you recall from the Libra ingress I did in September, there was a […]
I recently did a deep dive into verifying Canada’s natal chart. The commonly used one is July 1, 1867 at midnight in Ottawa, which gives an Aries rising chart. That didn’t make much sense to […] | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Future of Melton's Arla dairy under threat
The company is seeking a buyer for the Thorpe End-based Arla Melton Mowbray Creamery UK, which is also known locally as Tuxford and Tebbutt, which has been making cheese since 1780.
Arla says it is liaising with the 60 people it currently employs at the factory during this uncertain period.
Hide AdThe firm is the last remaining maker of Stilton cheese in the town and if its factory closes the production of geographically-protected Stilton will only be made in four dairies and just Long Clawson Dairy in Leicestershire.
The Arla site will continue to be operational and there will be no impact to production, customers, or employees during the strategic operational review process, the company says.
Fran Ball, VP of production at Arla Foods, said: “At Arla we are committed to supporting all colleagues through periods of change and we understand that today’s announcement will bring a sense of uncertainty for those who work at Melton Mowbray and those who work directly with the site team.
“Over the last few years, the speciality cheese market in the UK, which includes Stilton, has continued to decline, and as a farmer owned cooperative, we are therefore looking at what this means for our business so we can continue to return a fair price back to our 2,000 UK farmer owners.”
Hide AdArla Foods is a global dairy company and cooperative owned by around 8,492 dairy farmers, with approximately 2,053 of them being British.
It has production facilities in 11 countries and sales offices in a further 30, making Arla the world’s fifth largest dairy company and largest supplier of organic dairy products.
Ms Ball added: “Here at Arla Foods, we are proud of the heritage that we have from our creameries across the UK.
"We are privileged to employ some of the finest cheese makers in the country, which includes those at our Arla Melton Mowbray Creamery UK.
Hide Ad“We’d like to reassure shoppers that there will be no impact to the supply of our products, during this review period.”
If Tuxford and Tebbutt is closed it will be a blow to Melton’s reputation as the rural capital of food.
Matthew O’Callaghan, chair of the Melton Mowbray Food Partnership and organiser of the annual Artisan Cheese Fair, said, “This will be a tremendous loss for the town and not only for the 60 or so people who are employed there.
"This is the last Stilton cheese maker in the town.
"Although it only started Stilton cheese making after the war it is still one of the oldest businesses in town, previously having made Melton Mowbray pork pie and so has always been an essential part of our food heritage.”
Arla expects to provide an update on the review by April.
The dairy cooperative has a total of more than 18,000 employees and its products are sold under the well-known brands Arla, Lurpak and Castello in more than 100 countries. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

MIDAS CIVIL Bridge Design Prestressed Concrete Bridge Insight Structural Design Bridge Construction Prestressed Concrete Bridges Elongation of Tendons Elongation Tolerance Postensioned Concrete Structural Assesment Elongation of Cables Estimated Elongation
Elongations of Prestressing Steels
When we build prestressed concrete structural members, which is a frequently used material for bridges worldwide, the benefit in material savings and reduction of dimensions is guaranteed only when it is built correctly. Structures behave the way they are built, and not the way they are designed, so it is imperative that the designer and reviewer engineers provide the necessary information so that the construction process is oriented towards a structure that meets all safety requirements.
In this article, we present, in a concise way, the reasons why the elongations of prestressing steels in bridges should be controlled, and in the end, we provide a comparison of a real case in contrast to what is obtained from numerical modeling. Also, you can download a spreadsheet template (Click here) for the manual calculations of the friction loss and elongations that you can use to compare with the reliable results of midas Civil. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Middletown Names Kelven Moss Varsity Boys Basketball Coach
Middletown City School District (MCSD) Board of Education approved Kelven Moss as the new varsity boys basketball coach for the Middletown High School (MHS) Middies. A 2001 MHS alumnus, Coach Moss looks forward to returning to and re-igniting the Middie Magic.
“I’m excited to be back at my alma mater as the leader of the [basketball] helm. My goal is to create a championship culture not only on the court, but in the classroom and in the community. Being a Middletown grad, I’m extremely passionate about bringing the Middie Magic back! I look forward to making all the alumni who have walked these hallways proud. It’s time to give these student-athletes the opportunity to believe their belief,” said Coach Moss.
Most recently, Coach Moss was the head coach at Fenwick High School in Franklin. Coach Moss has 14 years of coaching experience and eight as head coach. He led three teams to conference championships on the college level and he was part of a Regional Final appearance for the Middies as an assistant coach. Coach Moss has compiled 100 wins in seven years as a head coach. Currently, he is fifth in winning percentage and top 10 in wins in MHS history on the girls’ side.
"In Coach Moss we're getting a complete basketball coach," said Middletown athletic director JD Foust. "He truly understands what it means to be a Middie and the rich tradition of excellence that comes along with putting the purple and white jersey on. Kelven is a thorough teacher, an exceptional communicator and coach who understands X's and O's. As a head coach he's been known as someone who's adept at developing the total student-athlete. When you talk to him you see early on that he has a firm grasp of life's big picture. I believe he's going to be an excellent role model for the young men in Middletown. I am really excited to watch Coach Moss bring the pride back into Middie Basketball.”
While basketball is an obvious passion, Moss understands the importance of a positive role model for young people. While not on the court, Moss can be found at Marshall High School in Middletown where he is the assistant director of operations.
“Kelven Moss is an extremely dynamic and focused basketball coach. He cares deeply about our young people, is committed to developing our program, and will be an energetic part of our culture of #MiddieRising. Kelven is excited to bring the magic back to the Wade E. Miller Arena!” said Carmela Cotter, MHS principal. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If you think that hooking up with a cougar is as simple as making eye contact, you got another thing coming. Many older women are often complex creatures who can say a lot with one look. They have many types of looks that mean different things. Here are the main types of eye contact you can expect to see from cougars and what each type is saying to you. Please pay close attention to what I’m about to share with you. Like I said, cougars and mature milfs are not easy to understand. Every little bit helps for sure!
Tips For Making Eye Contact With Cougars
If you’re looking for tips that actually work, then you’ve come to the right place. These tips most certainly will help you connect and hopefully bang a couple of horny milfs in the near future. There are certain things to look out for and these are all of them…
She deliberately looks away to avoid eye contact. This means that she has noticed you and determined that she is not into you. This type of look means that you should move on.
She doesn’t seem to know you are there. This simply means she hasn’t noticed you. If she has not noticed you yet, don’t get discouraged. Just move to a spot where she can see you better without being obvious.
She seems to make eye contact without meaning to. Don’t assume that this means that she is interested or not. She probably inadvertently looked at you while looking around the room. You should wait and see if she gives you one of the following looks.
She whips her head around when she sees you looking. The meaning of this look depends on what she follows it up with. If she follows up with an eye roll or annoyed look, you bombed. If she looks shy and tries to fight a smile, she’s interested.
She looks right at you and holds eye contact before looking away. This means that she noticed you and she’s still deciding if she is attracted to you. This means you at least have a chance.
She keeps looking at you and looking away. If you see her looking at you this way, you better not wait too much longer before approaching her. This means that she wants you to talk to her.
She looks you in the eye, smiles, and doesn’t stop looking. She is telling you that she is interested in you and wondering why you haven’t approached her yet.
She stares at you looking mesmerized. This look comes when she has made it clear that she is into you and you still have not approached her. She’s starting to imagine being with you.
She stares at you looking mesmerized and smiles. A smile usually follows the previous look and it means that she wants to make it obvious that she wants you.
She undresses you with her eyes. This look means that she wants to jump you then and there. She is going home with you later if you don’t wait too long to approach.
She looks at you with the look of love. This look means that you look like just her type and that she not only wants to sleep with you but may want to fix you breakfast tomorrow morning.
Keep your own eyes open and be ready to pounce on any hot older woman that you find staring you down. It’s your responsibility to take action when necessary. If you don’t you’ll have missed opportunities that pass by regularly. Start by seeing who’s around you that’s using Milfplay and connect with them first. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The night moves against curtains
to pass my trespasses for judgement
and the insects emerge
to move with the flicker of the filament.
I am alien, uncut and unkind when the night submerges.
I am faithless, fast falling but undying when the city the colour of
I am at the downs where you take me.
You take me to the end of myself
a measure before the flood on the floodplain,
before vast fields that stretch till they turn into walls of the unseen
where you stand a few paces from the pain
to canopy me from the muted screams of our destruction:
the insects and the kills that we push in to the night
with the shame of the futilely of sought absolution
for the shapes of the night.
I sleep to wake to wait with insects
for you take me to the downs
to put me in your killing jar butterflies.
THE REASON THAT IS YOU
I have taken all that I have -
hurt, hope and held sentiments coloured by television lust,
to be between these walls that
that separate me from the sounds of Pilate's last dice falling.
Hell is only a heartache away
and heaven in a summer's downpour is falling
down on this world and its nicotine stained sunsets
that lovers share without knowing.
Love me, Love me, you cry
Without knowing why that shade of yellow in the sunset
makes you reach out (only to pluck)
when you don't understand the chemicals that fuel your soul.
There is no beauty,
and no moment still enough to hold it
even with all of heaven raining down on
us like in the movies.
There is no pain
and no denial strong enough to hide the glare of it
even with the thickest sunglasses on
like us in reality. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
May 13: Manager Ron Gardenhire told reporters today that Ross isn’t feeling any better and could schedule an examination with the same surgeon who performed his initial thoracic outlet surgery (Twitter link via MLive.com’s Evan Woodbery).
May 12: The Tigers have placed right-handed starter Tyson Ross on the 10-day injured list, reports Chris McCosky of the Detroit News. It’s a nerve issue in his right elbow that will keep him out of action for the foreseeable future.
Certainly, this development is most unwelcome for a Detroit ballclub that has already endured several injuries to starting pitchers. Michael Fulmer and Matt Moore are both sidelined for the remainder of the season, and Jordan Zimmermann recently joined them on the injured list. With Ross joining them, the Tigers will be pressed to find solutions from within the organization.
Of course, those losses have been mitigated by the performances of Matthew Boyd and Spencer Turnbull, each of whom has dazzled with dynamic strikeout stuff, emerging as the most productive Tigers starters. Daniel Norris has joined the rotation in the wake of the slew of injuries, though there appears to be a dearth of options behind the existing slate of starters.
Ross has endured a season of inconsistencies thus far in 2019, posting a lackluster 6.11 ERA in his first 7 starts. His 1.39 K:BB ratio has been unimpressive, as walks have once again inhibited Ross’s success. It’s an unfortunate break for Ross, who struggled through a frustrating start in Saturday’s matchup with the Twins, allowing six runs in five-plus innings. It’s unclear just how serious the nerve issue is, or how long it will keep Ross on the shelf, but the outlook is certainly not a rosy one for the Tigers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Taxiway F was extended from Runway 15-33 to the Runway 10 approach. This was a follow-up project to a previous relocation of Taxiway F from the apron to the midfield intersection. Master planning at the time indicated a new, safer Taxiway F route to improve safety and eliminate the need for taxi operations through the midfield intersection. This project was new construction as no taxiway previously existed parallel to Runway 10-28. The new taxiway included a new medium intensity taxiway lighting system (MITL), containing cans and conduits with LED fixtures. In addition, the project included a new runway end identifier lighting (REIL) system on the Runway 10-28 approach.

Italian Francesco Bagnaia moved to the highly competitive CEV Championship in Spain in 2010, and he came third overall that year. He was reconfirmed for the Monlau Competicion team for 2012 and won another race before the step up to the World Championship, where he partnered Roman Fenati in the Team Italia FMI in 2013. For 2014 he switched teams as well as machinery as he lined up for the Sky Racing Team VR46 on a KTM, and 2015 brought another new challenge with the new Aspar Team Mahindra. Ending the year as the top Mahindra rider, the Italian was also frequently involved in the podium battle, retaining his seat for 2016 and going on to take not only a maiden win in Assen, but also a second win in Sepang. Earning a test ride on the team’s MotoGP™ machine in Valencia at the end of the season, Bagnaia moved up to Moto2™ in 2017 with the new Sky Racing Team VR46 intermediate class effort and was Rookie of the Year, taking several podiums. In 2018 he hit the ground running and was a contender for the crown from the off, with some incredible wins and consistency seeing him eventually take the title in Malaysia.
Impressive in his first outings in the premier class in testing, Bagnaia moved up to MotoGP™ with Pramac Racing in 2019. It was a difficult rookie year for Bagnaia but a fantastic P4 in Australia showed plenty signs of promise. 2020 proved a mixed year for the Italian and his GP-20. He earned an impressive second place in the San Marino GP and a week later at the same track, he was on the verge of a maiden premier class victory until a heartbreaking slide off the track ended his hopes. He never quite got going again in the remaining races but 2021 brought renewed hope for Pecco in the factory squad. Three podiums and a pole at the opening four rounds signalled the Italian as a title contender and, despite a blip in the middle of the season, he finished the year as the form man of the Championship. A debut MotoGP™ win came at Aragon after an incredible head-to-head with Marc Marquez, and he backed it up with victory in Misano a week after. His title charge slipped through his fingers with a crash during our second visit to Misano, but he did add victories at the final two rounds of the year.
The Italian's 2022 season got off to a slow start and a crash at the Sachsenring left him 91 points away from the Championship lead, before a stellar run in the second half of the campaign saw Bagnaia do what once seemed impossible and clinch his first premier class crown in Valencia. Sporting the number 1 in 2023, Bagnaia managed to fend off Jorge Martin at the season finale to become the first rider to successfully defend the #1 plate since Mick Doohan, and joined Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez in becoming the only riders in MotoGP™ to win back-to-back titles. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Scottish director Jon S Baird (‘Filth,’ ‘Cass,’ ‘Green Street Hooligans’) is to take the helm of an untitled drama based around comedy legends Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy and their farewell tour of Britain in 1953.
Baird described the film to Scotland on Sunday as “a love story between two guys who come to realise they can’t live without each other. It’s a really, really beautiful tale.”
“Stan was very much the driving force, Ollie was more relaxed, he just loved golfing and betting on the horses,” added Baird. “Once he’d finish for the day, he’d be off, and though he would be consulted on the script ideas when they were rehearsing, he didn’t write the stuff, Stan wrote everything, I think he was a real tortured genius.”
The comic duo’s successful tour came as the two were losing their big screen appeal, and was a bid to revive their careers. However it ended when Hardy had a heart attack.
Baird will be directing from a script by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Jeff Pope (‘Philomena, ‘Essex Boys’). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
“Whereas January 6, 2021, was one of the darkest days of our democracy, during which insurrectionists attempted to impede Congress’s Constitutional mandate to validate the presidential election and launched an assault on the United States Capitol Complex that resulted in multiple deaths, physical harm to over 140 members of law enforcement, and terror and trauma among staff, institutional employees, press, and Members”
That is the first clause of the instructions that created the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
Our country was founded, in part, with the idea that each and every one of us should have a say in how we are governed. With that, the founding fathers created what they deemed to be an experiment: democracy.
That experiment was attacked, physically, philosophically and emotionally, when a group of extremists, who were manipulated to think the 2020 election was stolen, laid siege upon the seat of our democracy.
Last week, the Committee held its first public hearing and has since held two more. Testimony given by a Capitol Police officer who was rendered unconscious, to never before seen footage of what happened as terrorists broke through barriers broken our collective hearts.
Testimonies from members of Trump’s inner circle expressed his failure to acknowledge the election results.
Knowing that his claims about election fraud were baseless, President Trump’s lawyer, John Eastman, went on to create a conspiracy theory centered around manipulating the 12th amendment in the U.S. Constitution. This theory revolved around the idea that the Vice President had jurisdiction to overrule an election. There was no proof to this theory and yet Trump still went on to incite his rabid followers with these lies as they went on to occupy the Capitol.
These hearings will continue in the coming weeks and a discussion about what happened will go on for generations.
At the Muslim Public Affairs Council, we have been dedicated to ensuring the preservation of our Democracy.
We must not allow for the system of governance that so many of us or our parents or our grandparents moved to this great nation to be eroded.
It is for that reason we are holding a year long series of events around the country– we must ensure that as we pass the baton of democracy to the next generation, it is stronger and more vibrant than the one we inherited.
That series is called the Democracy Forums and we started it in Washington D.C. with two conversations, the first with Representative Ro Khanna whose district is home to many social media companies– those platforms were used to spread the hate and misinformation that propelled the violence on that fateful day. We are working with the Congressman on how best to ensure that our first amendment rights are protected while also ensuring hate speech cannot be propagated.
The second conversation was with Congresswomen Marie Newman, who is now being primaried, in part because of her vocal support of the rights of Palestinians. She is a prime example of someone who is using her platform to do the right thing.
While their approach and influence may not seem connected, they each represent the essence of pluralism, which is that backbone of our democracy.
Defending and enriching democracy is what MPAC is striving to support through the Democracy Forums. We cannot afford to allow what happened on January 6th to become a norm and we must learn from what the Committee continues to uncover.
Invest in MPAC’s work to improve public policies and perceptions. We’re changing how America views Islam and Muslims. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Osteochondritis dissecans (os-tee-o-kon-DRY-tis DIS-uh-kanz) is a joint condition in which bone underneath the cartilage of a joint dies due to lack of blood flow. This bone and cartilage can then break loose, causing pain and possibly hindering joint motion.
Osteochondritis dissecans occurs most often in children and adolescents. It can cause symptoms either after an injury to a joint or after several months of activity, especially high-impact activity such as jumping and running, that affects the joint. The condition occurs most commonly in the knee, but also occurs in elbows, ankles and other joints.
Doctors stage osteochondritis dissecans according to the size of the injury, whether the fragment is partially or completely detached, and whether the fragment stays in place. If the loosened piece of cartilage and bone stays in place, you may have few or no symptoms. For young children whose bones are still developing, the injury might heal by itself.
Surgery might be necessary if the fragment comes loose and gets caught between the moving parts of your joint or if you have persistent pain. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Minister in the Prime Minister‘s Department Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi, who is in charge of parliamentary and legal affairs, pointed out that the cabinet did not agree to introduce the anti-job-hopping bill in the special session of the lower house of parliament on April 11. According to reports, the bill will not be introduced until more research is done on the definition of job hopping.
He said that the special session of Congress is still going on as scheduled to introduce amendments to the federal constitution, so that the anti-job-hopping bill can be introduced later. Constitutional amendments require the support of two-thirds of the lower house of Congress to pass.
Cabinet's decision today marks the second extension of the anti-job-hopping bill.
Minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi also said he was not happy with the repeated delays to the anti-job-hopping bill, but was forced to accept the Cabinet's decision. He told the media after meeting with Pakatan Harapan leaders today that as a member of the cabinet, he can only accept the decision of the cabinet, because the cabinet is the highest decision-making unit, and his personal feelings are not important. He said that he has been working on the anti-job-hopping bill for 8 months, and now he is still unable to submit it in Congress as scheduled, and his feelings are self-evident.
Zahid urges Umno
President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid reminded the party's cabinet members that they must take a tough stance on the anti-job-hopping bill, otherwise it will stir up dissatisfaction among the people.
He pointed out that the introduction of the anti-job-hopping bill had been delayed again, which gave the impression of a lack of courage and political will, and questioned whether there was any duplicity in this.
In a Facebook post, he said the repeated delays in bringing the anti-job-hopping bill to Parliament for passage have lost confidence in politics and disappointed the Malaysians who were waiting for the bill to come into force.
“After BN lost the last general election, Umno has become a victim of MPs who switched jobs and our MPs moved to other parties.
Ahmad Zahid also questioned whether there is a hidden mystery behind the government's lack of determination to debate, formulate and promote? “This disappoints those who were looking forward to the passage of the anti-job-hopping law because of the job-hopping of MPs.”
MP Qiu Peidong
DAP Melaka City MP Qiu Pei Tung called on political parties or individuals who do not support the anti-job-hopping bill to come forward and explain their positions and reasons for not supporting it for the public to judge for themselves.
He said in a statement that Pakatan Harapan has pledged to fully support the anti-job-hopping bill to prevent the re-emergence of the “political frog” culture that has destabilized the country.
Democratic Action Party
DAP secretary-general Luk Siu Hock confirmed when asked that the main leaders of Pakatan Harapan will discuss the anti-job-hopping law with Wan Junaidi tomorrow. He said the Pakatan Harapan three-party leaders would meet with Wan Junaidi on the “Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Transformation and Political Stability”.
The government released three definitions of job hopping in the anti-job-hopping bill in the upper house of parliament on March 30, including 1) announcing to quit the party to become an independent MP or join another political party after winning the election; 2) being expelled from the party after winning, and 3) Join other political parties after winning the battle as an independent.
As long as any elected member encounters these three situations, it is considered to be a job-hopping; at that time, the seat needs to be vacant and re-election is required within 60 days.
The government and Pakatan Harapan signed a memorandum of understanding on September 13 last year covering 77 parliamentary and government reforms, including limiting the prime minister's term to 10 years and introducing an anti-job-hopping bill. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

From global faculty to practical application initiatives at Woxsen School of Business, MBA aspirants get to explore a new spectrum of management education
The onset of startup culture and entrepreneurial wave across the country has brought about a revolutionary change in the Indian business community. With new ventures making headlines every now and then, along with an exponential expansion of consumer market domain, the bar of qualified and skilled professionals required in today’s competitive world is at an all-time high.
Factoring in the need to equip the managerial professionals of tomorrow for dynamic industry challenges, Woxsen School of Business, a B-school in Hyderabad, has introduced a few initiatives that could attribute to better exposure, knowledge, and skill of MBA aspirants:-
Considering the expansion of consumer markets in near future, the scope of business opportunities and chances of success are equally high. Trade Tower at the Woxsen School of Business is an initiative that provides a platform for the development of student’s business ideas – tying with the concept of entrepreneurship at the B-school. With an incubator-like structure, Trade Tower offers mentorship and resources to develop student business ideas into a live market venture.
Provided that the idea receives a green signal from the faculty, industry professionals, and Woxsen officials, the students stand a chance to secure funding from the B-school and kick start their entrepreneurial venture.
Business Advisory Council
Although there is a funding source available, the idea can only clear the stages if students are aware of the ongoing industry dynamics. Business Advisory Council at Woxsen serves as the common platform for brainstorming and in-depth market understanding for students.
Featuring reputed management professionals such as Prof Steve Hanke (John Hopkins University), Charles Antony (Former MD & CEO, TATA), Prof Steven Rogers (Harvard Business School) and many more, the council is instrumental in bridging the gap between industry requirements and student knowledge. In addition, it helps to inculcate a responsible edge towards business and education of students.
The inherent understanding of management skills and theoretical knowledge is further bolstered by the faculty at Woxsen School of Business. A blend of national and international teachers enables the students to understand the functionalities of Indian companies as well as get an insight to the global viewpoint of management. This equips the future managers and entrepreneurs to resolve the challenges of a company with operations anywhere across the world.
Growing entrepreneurial spirit
All that said, there is a need to increase such innovative initiatives across other B-schools in the country. With the likes of Sachin Bansal, Deepinder Goyal, Bhavish Aggarwal, and various other entrepreneurs setting successful examples, the spirit and need of entrepreneurship is growing exponentially in the country. Be it the vision of starting their own venture, be self-employed, grow a multi-million corporation or adjusting in leading consultant companies, the new crop of management professionals is expected to serve multiple roles in the organization, think on their feet, and come up with solutions and ideas that help the business grow.
In such a scenario, B-schools could play a pivotal role in providing an ecosystem of innovation that helps in shaping the mindset of a student with the combination of theory, its practical application, and exposure. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
An estimated 3.6 million illegal immigrants in America were brought here as children — a stunning figure more than three times higher than one commonly used in the contentious political debate over the fate of so-called Dreamers, USA Today reported.
The larger number isn't widely known because so much attention is currently focused on the 800,000 immigrants protected by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — and terminated by President Donald Trump last September, the outlet noted.
Yet even though politicians toss around the terms "Dreamers" and "DACA" interchangeably, "that's not a distinction without a difference," House Minority Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told USA Today.
According to USA Today, the 3.6 million estimate of illegal immigrants brought to the United States as minors comes from the non-profit Migration Policy Institute — and represents about a third of all illegals in America.
"At a time when our economy is growing and our labor market is extremely tight, these are all folks of working age who have skills to immediately contribute," Ali Noorani, executive director of the pro-immigrant National Immigration Forum, told the news outlet. "We would be spending billions of dollars to remove folks who have the potential to help the country grow."
Mark Krikorian, executive director for the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors lower levels of immigration, disagrees.
"It's not like they're entitled to anything, but prudence suggests an extraordinary act of mercy," he told USA Today. "Amnesty is warranted for them alone, at least this time."
Cecilia Muñoz, the former domestic policy director for President Barack Obama, said the 2012 executive order could only go so far protecting Dreamers, and now that Congress is involved, more migrants brought here as children should be given the same protection.
"The right policy is to be as generous as possible," Muñoz said. "There's no reason to limit who is eligible."
According to USA Today, several legislative proposals protect different numbers of Dreamers, with the most generous, introduced by Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., providing legal status to 3.5 million Dreamers, excluding only a small group who pose public safety threats. The most restrictive proposals would provide legal status only to the 798,980 people approved for DACA.

Newswise — Marine conservation experts have revealed the extent of marine megafauna catch by small-scale fisheries, in Thailand for the first time.
The Newcastle University study provides the first-ever estimate of the annual catch of marine megafauna species, including rays, sharks, sea turtles, dolphins, and dugongs, in Thailand’s small-scale fisheries – those fisheries using small boats, low tech equipment and often haul their fishing gear by hand.
Published in the journal Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Research, the results show estimated annual catches of 5.6 million rays, 457 thousand sharks, 2.4 thousand sea turtles, 790 small cetaceans, and 72 dugongs in Thailand’s small-scale fisheries.
“We collected data using questionnaire interviews with 535 fishers in 17 provinces along the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea coasts in 2016 and 2017. Our results show that gillnets, especially crab gillnets and shrimp trammel nets, were responsible for most of the catch, posing a significant threat to marine megafauna in Thailand” said Dr Thevarit Svarachorn, who conducted the study during his PhD research at Newcastle University.
Many of the species caught in these fisheries, like butterfly rays, wedgefish, and reef sharks, are already threatened with extinction. “These are shallow water species. They are very exposed to small-scale fisheries pressure, which are likely key drivers of their extinction risk around the world.” said co-author Dr Andrew Temple, Global Postdoctoral Fellow at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.
Senior author, Professor Per Berggren, Professor of Marine Megafauna Conservation at Newcastle University School of Natural and Environmental Sciences, said: “The study highlights the urgent need for regulating gillnet fishing, especially crab gillnets, to protect threatened megafauna from disappearing. These species are crucial for maintaining the health and productivity of the marine ecosystem.
“Alternative fishing gears such as traps and pots should be considered to target the desired species without harming marine megafauna. Collaboration between fishers, manufacturers, and fisheries managers, along with training on best practices for releasing caught megafauna, could further reduce by-catch mortality.”
The authors also recommend using LED lights on gillnets, acoustic deterrent devices, bycatch reduction devices and turtle excluder devices to help prevent megafauna bycatch. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Exterior work is progressing on 240 Willoughby Street, a 30-story residential building in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Designed by Fischer Rasmussen Whitefield Architects and developed by Rabsky Group, which purchased the property for $95 million in 2019, the structure will yield 300 rental units with 147 residences dedicated to affordable housing. 240 Willoughby LLC is the owner and Galaxy Developers is the general contractor for the project, which directly abuts an existing 21-story apartment building and is bound by Willoughby Street to the north, the Brooklyn Hospital Center to the south, Fort Greene Park to the east, and Ashland Place to the west.
The rest of the upper floors were built since our last update in mid-June, when the reinforced concrete superstructure was closing in on the parapet. Construction topped out over the summer and work has shifted to the installation of the façade and window grid. Black netting covers portions of the building over the protruding edges of the floor plates, which will eventually serve as balconies. The southern and eastern elevations are further behind, enclosed only in yellow insulation boards.
The abutting 21-story apartment tower is also in the process of having its windows replaced. YIMBY last reported that Rabsky Group is performing extensive interior renovations on this building with a $72 million construction loan secured from SCALE Lending in January 2022.
The main rendering of 240 Willoughby Street shows the tower’s balconies adorned with hanging vegetation and shrubbery. A distinctive gold-hued framework surrounds the entire building in a two-story running grid pattern directly in front of the balconies. A green wall is also shown covering the blank concrete face above the connection with the abutting building.
240 Willoughby Street is slated for completion in the winter of 2024, as noted on site. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Johnny Manziel might be cashing checks a few hundred miles to the north, but Texas A&M has maintained its swagger as a football program despite the loss of the Heisman Trophy winner.
Most of said swagger can be attributed to energetic head coach Kevin Sumlin, but it's truly manifest in the helicopter he uses in recruiting -- appropriately dubbed the "Swaggercopter."
According to Bell Helicopter and the school, Aggies fans will get their chance to see the Swaggercopter up close this Saturday during the team's home opener against Lamar.
Sumlin's use of the helicopter, owned by a school booster, has reportedly helped him land recruits such as talented freshman defensive end Myles Garrett and stud wide receiver Ricky Seals-Jones. Both players ended up making several big plays in Texas A&M's blowout of South Carolina to kick off the Aggies' 2014 campaign.
In addition to bringing in the chopper, the home opener also will give fans their first look at the partially renovated Kyle Field.
Considering the game should be well in hand for A&M not long after kickoff, it's probably good that the football program has a few other things around to keep fans entertained in College Station for a few hours.

On January 25, 2019, about a hundred people gathered in an auditorium at the California Attorney General’s Office in Los Angeles. Among them were lawyers, business owners, consumer advocates, professors, advertising industry representatives, bankers and computer engineers. We were all there for one reason: to give preliminary public comments to the attorney general about the California Consumer Privacy Act.
On stage were several Deputy Attorneys General (“DAGs”) and a court reporter, ready to transcribe what Californians had to say. There were only two rules. First: the comments had to relate to one of seven topics over which the attorney general had rulemaking power under the statute:
- Whether there should be additional categories in the definition of “personal information”;
- If the definition of “unique identifier” should be updated;
- Exceptions to the CCPA (e.g., state and federal law);
- How consumers should submit requests for their information and how businesses should comply;
- What type of uniform “opt-out” button should be adopted;
- What type of notices and information should be provided, including notices about financial incentives for consumers not to opt out of the sale of their data; and
- Verification of a consumer request.
And second: the DAGs couldn’t actually answer any questions. They could only listen.
Here are some of the most interesting questions and suggestions from this session:
- Since the AG has yet to issue the applicable rules, when do companies need to start the record-keeping process to show compliance with the 12-month look-back period for consumer data access requests?
- If costs of compliance with consumer requests are cost-prohibitive, how do small businesses survive? The statute allows companies to charge a “reasonable fee”—but what does that mean?
- What does it mean to provide a consumer their data in a readily usable format? Can a business rely on existing resources or must it hire a vendor?
- Should IP addresses alone really be personal information?
- What kind of affirmative obligations do companies now have to screen for age, i.e., to get opt-in consent from 13- to 16-year-olds?
- There should be a certification process to show compliance with the CCPA.
- To prove that companies are not discriminating against consumers who opt out of selling/sharing their data, companies could submit to the AG the revenue they receive from the sale of consumer data and show how they evaluate personal data to charge for services. In other words: disclose to the AG and the consumer opting out (1) the value of the information and (2) how that value is related to the charge for goods or services.
- There should be a uniform logo showing compliance with the CCPA on companies’ websites, rather than a button, similar to the “Ad Choices” logo in the advertising industry.
- The AG should issue a template for a CCPA-compliant consumer notice that would provide “safe harbor” to companies making a good faith effort to comply.
- Verifying consumer requests should be based on the quantity and quality of data a company holds, as it could be necessary to collect a lot more additional data on a consumer to verify their identity—which seems contrary to the spirit of the CCPA.
Representatives from the Attorney General’s Office also noted that there will be another opportunity to provide public comment during the formal rulemaking period, likely in the fall of this year.
Transcripts of the public comment forums are available on the California Attorney General’s website, though they reportedly may need a week or two to be uploaded. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A breaching Humpback whale!
Yes, today at 13:30 some 9 lucky passengers left the harbour with us and they sure did not know what they had coming! We found a nice humpback whale after about 40 mins which we followed for a while, or until we spotted another blow a bit further north. The wind had picked up quite a lot but we decided to go and take a look at that whale anyway. And we are glad we did, because when we were reaching the area where we had seen the blow, and wondering where it would surface next, it breached out of the water in front of the boat, some 30 metres away! And it didn’t stop there, oh no, it jumped out 12 times in a row!!
We always got closer and closer so in the end it was about 5 metres away from the boat. It is truly amazing to witness this, and all the passengers were seeing a whale for the first time 🙂
A little girl from Australia who is travelling with her family around Iceland said she’s really interested in whales, and has seen many documentaries on them, but has never seen one in real life and she was really happy with tour!

Only five previous studies were known to investigate this association, although findings were inconsistent, with three of the studies reported benefits that were not statistically significant.
Based on the knowledge that Japanese people consume the highest per capita of seafood in the world, researchers sought to study the association between fish consumption and onset of dementia.
They published the study in the British Journal of Medicine.
Participants for this study were recruited from the Ohsaki Cohort 2006 Study, residing in Ohsaki city, Japan.
A total of 13,000 individuals aged 65 years and above without disability were analysed and followed for 5.7 years
Food frequency questionnaires were used to collect data on consumption of fish and other foods at baseline.
In this study, fish referred to raw/broiled/grilled fish as well as boiled fish paste.
Daily fish consumption was categorised into four quartiles: Q1 (lowest), Q2, Q3, and Q4 (highest).
Respondents in Q1 were the reference category.
The primary outcome of this study was the onset of dementia, defined as disabling dementia or incident functional disability according to the criteria of the LTCI system used in Japan.
The dementia scale is classified into six ranks (0, I–IV, and M) with rank M representing severe dementia-related behavioral disturbance that require medical intervention.
A rank exceeding I is typically used as an outcome measure of incident dementia because individuals who have mild or moderate dementia are classified as rank II.
This study reported that compared to Q1 (lowest fish intake), the hazard ratio for incident dementia was 0.77 for Q2, 0.74 for Q3 and 0.70 for Q4 (p<0.01).
The researchers said: “An inverse association between fish consumption and the onset of dementia was observed, suggesting the potential benefits of fish intake for dementia prevention.”
Japan is estimated to have 1.1 million elderly (33%) suffering from dementia by 2060, and researchers said this result may hint in preventing dementia, “bring(ing) huge benefit on our society in terms of quality of life, caregiver burden, costs for medical and long-term care.”
The Japanese diet include oily fish such as salmon, tuna, amberjack, and pacific saury.
The researchers explained fish contain n-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which are suggested to have preventive effects against cognitive decline.
Other nutrients in fish, such as vitamin A/carotenoids, vitamin B12, vitamin D, vitamin E, and selenium, are also known to have neuroprotective effects.
However, there were some limitations acknowledged in this study.
One of which was the collection of fish consumption data only at baseline. Some of the study participants may have changed their fish intake during follow-up.
The researchers also thought their 5.7 years of follow-up was relatively short and may have compromised the results.
They suggested conducting future cohort studies with a longer follow-up period.

Breakfast & Through out the day Snacks
- Starbucks decaf soy caramel macchiatto. I ordered a tall but they gave me a grande.
- Starbucks chocolate croissant I never got to finish. We had birthday party today in the office so I was saving room for cake.
- Brown jasmine rice with 2 sticks of barbecue “beef” skewers and 4 cherry tomatoes. The skewers look like poop, seriously like a log of poop. It did have very meaty texture, though, and less soy tasting. Unlike the marinaded “chicken” I had a while back.
- A mini red velvet cupcake…more like a shot of cake and frosting…from Big Man Bakes at the office birthday party I threw and a very thin slice of pineapple rum cake the Big Boss brought back from the Caribbean.
- Red Robin queso and chips…and a couple of fries. I swear that bowl is bottomless. I had my fill and it didn’t look like I made a dent! That was washed down with a strawberry lemonade.
- A side of guilt.
- A glass of Jacob’s Creek shiraz. Very appropriate, I know.
- Coconut truffle from the box of XT Patisserie treats Nhien sent me for Christmas. Again, very appropriate.
Satisfaction Level: Very satisfied albeit the GUILT!! Seriously.  I had a choice to get a Gardenburger or a soup and salad but noooooo. I got queso. AND fries!! Not to mention all of the products with eggs in them that I completely ignore and dove in headfirst like the cakes. Meatless in the worst way today, folks.
Thoughts: Um. Yeah. I totally suck at being a vegetarian. The guilt alone will kill be before anything else.
Special Thanks: For those who’ve witnessed/read about my ordeal last night, please give thanks to the handy guide I used to battle the problem. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Consciousness - Part 1: Unraveling Consciousness: Human Uniqueness in Language, Tools, and Inner Thought - A reading log
How our brains turn matter into meaning
by John Parrington
A reading log.
May 26, 2024
Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, all of them tried to define what consciousness is. But in their theories, there are gaps and incorrect assumptions. What we can say today is that humans, evolutionarily wise, are not special, and that humans most of the time underestimated the cognitive capacities of animals. Anyways, no other species transformed the planet so massively in good and bad things that there must be something unique in human consciousness.
Chapter 1, page 16
May 28, 2024
Even if animals use language and tools, the complexity of these is far less than human language and tools. Friedrich Engels claimed that walking upright is deeply interconnected with human tool use and language. In fact, these three abilities are dependent on each other. There is the theory that the inner voice which we use daily for developing things is the incarnation of consciousness. But it is not really measurable, and we don't know if animals may also have an inner voice. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

(OSV News) — On behalf of the bishops of the United States, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio of Military Services, USA, and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, offered his congratulations and prayers July 9 upon Pope Francis’ announcement of the creation of 21 new cardinals.
Two of the archbishops — U.S.-born Archbishop Robert F. Prevost, who took the helm at the Dicastery for Bishops in April, and French Archbishop Christophe Pierre, the apostolic nuncio to the United States — have “deep ties” to the United States, the USCCB statement said.
“Please join me in praying for Cardinal-designate Prevost and Cardinal-designate Pierre as they continue their lives of service to the universal Church,” Archbishop Broglio said. “For the Church in the United States, their ministry has been a true blessing. Our episcopal conference rejoices in this sign of recognition of these distinguished Churchmen.”
The pope announced the names after his recitation of the Angelus with the faithful in St. Peter’s Square July 9. He said he would formally install the cardinals during a special consistory at the Vatican Sept. 30.
Cardinal-designate Prevost, 67, was born in Chicago, and had served as bishop of Chiclayo, Peru, for more than eight years before being appointed to lead the Vatican body responsible for recommending to the pope candidates to fill the office of bishop in many of the Latin-rite dioceses of the world. Recommendations made by the dicastery are typically approved by the pope. Archbishop Prevost has been a member of the dicastery since November 2020.
He also oversees the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, established in 1958 by Pope Pius XII to study the church in Latin America, where nearly 40% of the world’s Catholics reside.
The cardinal-designate holds degrees from Villanova University in Pennsylvania and the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and a doctorate from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. An Augustinian friar, he joined the Augustinian mission in Peru in 1985 and largely worked in the country until in 1999, when he was elected head of the Augustinians’ Chicago-based province. From 2001 to 2013, he served as prior general of the worldwide order.
In 2014, Pope Francis named him bishop of Chiclayo, in northern Peru, and the pope asked him also to be apostolic administrator of Callao, Peru, from April 2020 to May 2021. The pope then appointed him to succeed the retiring Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet as prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in early 2023.
Cardinal-designate Pierre, 77, was born in Rennes, France. Ordained to the priesthood in 1970, he served as apostolic nuncio to Haiti, Uganda and Mexico until Pope Francis named him nuncio to the United States in 2016.
In total, the new cardinals represent more than a dozen countries on five continents. Three of the new cardinals are current Vatican officials, three are current or retired apostolic nuncios, 13 are current or retired heads of archdioceses around the world, one is a rector major of the Salesians and one is a 96-year-old confessor in Buenos Aires. Six belong to religious orders; two of them are Jesuits.
Continuing a papal custom, among the new cardinals were three churchmen — two archbishops and a Capuchin Franciscan priest — over the age of 80, whom Pope Francis said he wanted to honor because they were particularly deserving due to “their service to the church.” Being over the age of 80, they are ineligible to vote in a conclave.
The last consistory took place Aug. 27, 2022, when Pope Francis elevated 20 new cardinals, including Cardinal Robert W. McElroy of San Diego.

Advocacy group, Just Equal, has again called on the McGowan Government to change the law and stop discrimination against LGBTIQ+ teachers in faith schools.
The call comes after it was reported in The West Australian that another teacher has lost his job following homophobic harassment at a church school.
The drama teacher, whose identity has not been revealed, shared that he had been ‘outed’ by students through a cruel “Guess Who” game on social media app TikTok where students posted accusations that he was gay.
Posted anonymously, the posts included the school’s crest, the name of the teacher’s house group, comedy and drama masks, followed by the Pride flag and a picture of a muscled male torso. Followers were then prompted to speculate which teacher the post was about.
The teacher has called for more to be done to protect teachers from cyberbullying instigated by their own students.
“The onus is on the Catholic system to back their teachers and to protect them and to believe them when these incidents are happening,” he said.
“More often than not, these kids will get a slap on the wrist, they might get a suspension… but do they really understand the effects that these incidents have on teachers and staff and education assistants?” the teacher told The West Australian.
A Catholic Education WA spokesperson said it strongly believed in respecting the dignity of every human person and condemned harassment of any nature, for any reason.
WA spokesperson, Brian Greig, said the special religious exceptions that allowed this discrimination in WA are the worst of their kind anywhere in the country and had been banned in several states.
“This discrimination has been outlawed in Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT.
“It continues to thrive in WA because the state government has does nothing to stop it despite years of protest.
“In 2015, a seven year old girl was pushed from Foundation Christian College in Mandurah because it discovered she was being raised by two gay dads.
“In 2017, History and English teacher, Mr Craig Campbell, was dumped from his job at South Coast Baptist College, Rockingham, when it found out he is gay.
“As Opposition Leader, Mr McGowan said the state law which allowed this discrimination “was wrong and should be changed”, however, as Premier he has done nothing to remedy this.
Greig said that he and other rainbow community members had meet with Labor MPs and with Attorney General John Quigley several times over the last six years to press for law reform, but were given excuses as to why the government was reluctant to act.
“Labor MPs blamed both the inability to get law reform through the conservative upper house, and the threat of the Morrison Government’s federal Religious Discrimination Bill as blockages to reform.
“However, Mr McGowan now has control of both houses of parliament and the Morrison Bill to override state anti-discrimination law is off the table.
“The new Albanese Labor Government has promised it will protect gay students and teachers.”
“With no more blockages to progress this overdue reform, we again call on parliament to catch up with other states.
“We call on Premier McGowan to fulfil his pledge to end this discrimination,” Greig said.
In 2018, polling by YouGov Galaxy found 78 per cent of voters believe religious schools should not be entitled to taxpayer funding if they discriminate against LGBTIQ+ teachers and students. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

How To Find The Right Mortgage Lender?
Don’t worry about your finances, choose the professionals who’ll take care of them.
You’re just starting your search to purchase a new house - this is an exciting time! Before you schedule your first home tour, getting prequalified for a mortgage is an important first step. You don’t have to think about it on your own - I'm here to help you.
Having years of experience on the market, I’ve learned how important a trustworthy mortgage lender is during your real estate journey. Put your faith in a leading lender awarded for the exquisite customer service and appreciated for the competitive offers. Choose the business that pair knowledge, individual approach, and integrity, taking care of the most satisfactory results for you.
Here’s a checklist to get you on your way to buying the home of your dreams before you decide on the professional with whom you want to work with.
- Personal documents
You’ll need two forms of government-issued ID, your social security number, divorce papers if applicable, as well as proof of ownership of other property. - Review your credit report
You should be able to do this free of charge. Be sure to dispute any errors or provide an explanation for late payments or derogatory items. Then, keep your credit score healthy by avoiding any new credit inquiries, canceling any credit accounts, or lowering limits with any creditors. Doing any of these things could lower your credit score. - Tax returns
You’ll need to provide tax returns for the previous year, and potentially for the last two years. - Proof of income
Gather W2s, paycheck stubs, 1099s, or a year-to-date profit and loss statement if you’re self-employed. You’ll also need to show other income sources such as Social Security, child support (and proof children’s ages), or government assistance. - Proof of assets
Provide bank statements, mutual fund statements, account balances for retirement accounts, 401Ks, IRAs, and any money held in the stock market. - Debt summary
You’ll need to provide a summary of your debts, monthly payment amounts, child support payments and balances for credit cards, student loans, car loans, other property loans. - Financial issues
You may need to provide a written explanation if you’ve had bankruptcy or other financial issues in the past. - Down payment and closing money ready
Have these funds ready in your bank account. If you received this money as a gift, you might need to provide a letter from the gifter explaining the gift is not a loan. - Renting
Compile proof for the past year with canceled checks or money orders to show rent was paid on time. - Mortgage pre-approval successful
Do some comparison shopping and contact other lenders. A home is likely the largest purchase you’ll ever make, do your homework to ensure you get a competitive deal.
Applying for your first mortgage? Get in touch with me! I’d be happy to walk you through the process and help you find the mortgage lender you can trust. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Microplastics are extremely small pieces of plastic debris that can measure up to 5mm in length, which is about the size of a sesame seed. However, most microplastics found are more commonly on the nanoscale, reaching < 1 micrometer (0.001mm) in size. For comparison, the thickness of a single sheet of paper is 0.05mm.
Generally, microplastics are the product of the whittling of larger plastic items in the environment such as discarded household rubbish, industrial discharge, or litter discarded into rivers. These larger plastic items are broken down into microplastics due to heat, oxidation, light and microorganisms. The rate and extent of the degradation of plastic varies depending on the environmental variables present. Microplastics also come in a smaller form called microbeads, which are commonly used in cosmetic products, such as facial washes and toothpastes.
Due to the fact that microplastics are more common in seawater because of littering and industrial waste, microplastic contamination is more common in seafood, particularly in shellfish. Mussels and oysters are at a much higher risk. This is because of the higher concentration of plastic in the water near the shore, which is where most oysters and mussels are found.
Microplastics are also present in other food and drinks we consume, such as sea salt, honey and beer. A recent study tested 15 brands of sea salt for microplastic contamination and discovered 600 microplastic particles per kg of salt while other studies found 660 microplastic fibres per kg of honey and 109 fragments per litre of beer. A pilot study conducted by researchers from the Medical University of Vienna discovered microplastics in the stool samples of 100% of the volunteers tested. While it was a small sample of just 8 individuals, the fact that they were spread across Asia and Europe indicates the global impact of the problem. The diet of the volunteers included liquids from plastic bottles and seafood.
Because microplastics originate from everyday plastic items all around the world, it is challenging to determine the exact sources of these microplastic particles found in such foods.
Because microplastics are able to absorb and release different types of chemical compounds, we should be concerned about what that means for our health. To date, few studies have been done on humans to determine how microplastics affect human health. It is speculated that the amount of microplastics that enter your body are small and will simply pass through your digestive tract. It remains to be known exactly how many plastics we consume are big enough to be causing us harm.
Although the effects of microplastics on human health are unclear, it is still wise to limit intake of food and beverages where microplastics are commonly found. Start by doing what is within your control. Consider limiting the use of plastic utensils and food packaging. Opt for glass bottles and metal or wooden utensils rather than plastic, and for paper-wrapped food rather than plastic wrapping, where possible.
Doing your best to limit the amount of plastic introduced into the food chain is another way you can contribute. When shopping, make choices where plastic packaging is limited so you are throwing less away and if it is not yet a common practice in your country, and to avoid buying cosmetic cleansers that contain microplastic beads.
If you accidentally ingested a piece of plastic, do not attempt to induce vomit as it can cause adverse choking and pains in your throat. Depending on the size of the plastic piece you swallowed, if it does not cause any discomfort when it went down your throat, you will most likely pass it out when you go to the toilet. On the other hand, if the plastic piece is sharp, it may damage your gut lining and cause internal bleeding. If you feel any discomfort or is worried after ingesting a plastic piece, it is better to head over to the [Urgent Care Centre (UCC)](/urgent-care-centre/overview “Urgent Care Centre”) and seek a doctor's advice. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Cle de Peau Essential Refining Essence is a matifying, smoothing facial essence. Diminish visible pores and absorb excess oil with the unique essence infused with powder. A powerful, multi-benefit skincare step that is applied after cleansing and balancing the skin and applying targeted serums. While our facial essence feels like a water, it is actually a concentrated, gently astringent serum that works to refine and hydrate skin while absorbing excess oil. Unlike most other serums, essence is applied with a gentle patting motion, which allows this dynamic product to be pushed into the skin and diminish visible pores, even after other serums have been applied.
Cle de Peau Beaute's legendary “purple water” is enhanced with new Surface Refining Complex EX for more powerful skin polishing results. Instantly matifies with a delicate cooling sensation, improves the look of dryness and roughness, and hydrates for 24 hours without stickiness. Helps to absorb excess sebum and reduce visible pores by dissolving impurities, resulting in a renewed appearance with continued use.
Biphase formula provides the immediate benefits of Serum Absorption Powder and the preventative benefits of pore-refining Surface Refining Complex EX. Improves the application and wear of makeup and keeps skin feeling fresh throughout the day. Contains antioxidant ingredients.
How to use: Essence should be applied after cleansing and balancing skin and applying targeted serums, and before applying moisturizer. Shake well to mix the bi-phase formula, which is infused with powder.
Saturate a cotton pad and apply to the entire face using a patting motion. Finish application by gently smoothing the cotton over any noticeably rough areas.
We recommend applying Essential Refining Essence with our Cotton, which is infused with natural silk for optimal application of the ingredients contained within our skincare. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Proto SLG Paintball Marker
The Proto SLG has recently dropped in price from $249.95 to $199.95. The good thing about this is that it increases its competition with the Smart Parts Ion, its biggest rival. I personally own the SLG (two of them actually), and they shoot with very little “kick” and with great overall accuracy. On top of this, Dye Precision (Proto’s parent company) designed the gun to use its air intake as efficiently as possible.
Q: What does the SLG stand for?
A: Super Light Gun.
The Proto SLG comes stock with Dye’s patented Hyper 3 regulator. Dye claims that their new Hyper3 gives its shooters a velocity consistency of +/- 3 fps (quite amazing). This will in turn give you even better air efficiency, and ultimately give you more shots per air fill.
So if you’re in the market for a new paintball gun at a relatively cheap price, or you’re just sick of your Ion, go with the Proto SLG. 🙂 | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Christina Delgado, FNP-BC, has established herself as a leading figure in aesthetics, known for her…
The modern cosmetic & aesthetic patient doesn’t have a lot of time to spare. Younger, busier, more on-the-go patients are exploring new treatment options by the millions throughout our nation. A combination of social media use, remote conferencing, and a “do it all” mentality keeps the best, brightest, and most beauty-focused on the move. But even older patients with a lot on their plate would prefer a quick and effective procedure with minimal downtime.
Thankfully, PDO thread lifts are among the quickest non-surgical facelift procedures available today. With an average of a 1-hour procedure window and no need for general anesthesia, recovery from a thread lift typically only takes 24 hours. Even so, procedures affect everyone differently. You’ll want to take the best possible care of yourself before and after your PDO thread lift so that you can get back to life as you know and enjoy it.
As an industry-leading designer, innovator, and manufacturer of PDO threads, PDO Max knows what it takes to recover faster and preserve the best results. Here are some PDO thread lift aftercare tips for speeding up recovery and maximizing benefits.
PDO Thread Lift Aftercare Tips – A Guide
Preparing for Your Thread Lift Procedure
For the quickest recovery, it’s also worth mentioning a few things to avoid before your thread lift procedure.
Speak to your provider about avoiding:
- Certain supplements & medications (especially fish oil & Aspirin products)
- Blood thinners
- Alcohol & nicotine for at least 1 week (7 days) beforehand
- Saunas, steam rooms, & high-intensity exercise
Some patients may not be eligible for PDO thread lifts at this time, including:
- Patients with autoimmune deficiencies
- Pregnant or breastfeeding patients
- Patients who scar easily
- Patients with a bleeding disorder (hemophilia, sickle cell anemia)
After Your Thread Lift Procedure
While less traumatic than some other purely surgical interventions, PDO thread lifts still require caution in the following hours, days, and weeks. There is a range of actions that can compromise the healing process and weaken your results. PDO threads need time to settle in place, so strenuous exercise, facial massage, and even lying down can lead to complications.
After your PDO thread lift:
- Avoid lying down after the procedure for at least 4 hours
- Sleep on your back exclusively (no side or stomach sleeping) for 1 week
- Refrain from any exercise more strenuous than a walk for 4 weeks
- Avoid showering or washing your hair for 24 hours
- Avoid hot showers for at least 1 week
- Limit drastic or prolonged facial expressions, yawning, extended chewing, etc. for at least 2 weeks
- Refrain from touching entry points on your face for 48 hours at a minimum
- Don’t pick at scabs over entry points at all
- Avoid facial massages for 2 months
- Continue abstaining from alcohol & nicotine for 2 weeks
- Avoid skin care products & makeup for 1 day (at minimum)
- Avoid direct or intense sunlight (including tanning beds) for 1 week
Now that we’ve gotten the don’ts out of the way, here are a few steps that can speed recovery, encourage healing, and preserve the best benefits for your younger-looking face & skin!
After your PDO thread lift:
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
- Resume your skincare routine after 24 hours
- Schedule a follow-up appointment with your provider for 1 week after your appointment
- Use ice to treat swelling & bruising
- Take non-aspirin pain reducers as needed (NSAIDs may be taken 1 week after the procedure)
- Return to normal activities (but avoid prohibited actions listed above)
- Contact your provider for any unusual or acute discomfort
Faster Healing, Quicker Recovery, & A More Youthful Face
Results and best aftercare guidelines vary across patients. Your provider should give detailed instructions for the safest procedure and optimal outcomes. At PDO Max, safety is our number one priority. Our ISO 13485-certified, FDA-cleared, and MDSAP-certified threads put patient safety and recovery first. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Through a chain of links from Kottke to Shopping Mall History to the Hudson's Bay Company website, I was interested to learn that two of the earliest shopping malls, West Vancouver's Park Royal and Seattle's Northgate, both opened in 1950 here in the relatively sleepy Pacific Northwest.
Even when I was a kid in the '70s, Park Royal was one of the biggest and most interesting malls in Greater Vancouver—I'd travel there quite regularly with my mother, even though it was at least a half-hour freeway drive across a bridge and there were several other shopping centres closer to us.
At that time, American TV also dominated our channel selection, so I often heard about Northgate (and its companion, Southcenter) on U.S. advertising, but I never visited until this year. (There was nothing special about Northgate except the dedicated shopping cart escalator inside Target.)
In the '80s, British Columbia's biggest mall complex, Metrotown, arose a mere ten-minute walk from our house, growing like kudzu around a Sears store that has been there for well over 50 years, and that used to be the only destination shopping in the area when I was young. On vacation, we've encountered people from the Seattle area who travel here just to shop at Metrotown, which seems weird since to me it's just our local mall.
Unlike monsters such as Mall of America or West Edmonton Mall, no shopping centre in our area has an indoor wave pool or amusement park, just lots of stores and restaurants. Yet despite decades of renovations and expansions, when you visit places like Park Royal or the Metrotown Sears or Northgate, you can see the design legacy of their origins. Something is still fundamentally 1950s about the parts that remain.
I bet some of them have time capsules still waiting to be opened. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Competing with others on the Internet can be difficult, which means you need to implement your best blogging practices in order to succeed. Your niche probably has a lot of professional blogs which you will have to compete against. To do this, you have to step up your game. If you want your visitors to respond appropriately, your blog needs to be quite good. It is important issues things like social media, and other sources of alternative traffic, to get people to your blog. It’s not a major issue to drive traffic to your blog, therefore you should not worry about it. This article will reveal three exceptional blogging strategies that will convert your visitors into buyers.
Some of the best practices with blogging involve knowing what to blog, and how often you will blog, every week. It really depends on what you want to do with your blog. No laws or regulations require you to blog a certain amount of times a week, so don’t worry about that. One rule you might follow is posting for three months, for five days a week to start. That’s a lot and most people will not want to do that, but that’s for you to decide. The guidelines that you end up sticking with can be your own, as long as you are consistent with what you are doing. When you change your posting schedule, your readers might get upset, simply because they are expecting one thing, and getting another. Our style is very important when we write our blog, and is part of the strategy that we will have when we post. If you’ve never done this too much, then it’s a good idea because you can avoid problems. Many people like controversial material, and others do not. It really depends on who your audience is, and what you want to post. What will happen is you’ll develop a readership that loves controversial material. Perhaps this is the type of material that you also like. At least you know what you’re doing and why you are doing it. Maybe a couple times a month is the best schedule for you to be on. Whatever your schedule is, make sure that it is appealing, and that you have a strategy to follow.
It’s easy to blog, and then get into a rut, not knowing how to change what you have done for years on end. It is important that we address this problem of getting burned out for a couple different reasons. Making posts is easy, but actually making interesting invigorating ones can push us to our limits.
This can be a very challenging issue regardless of who you are. If you want your readers to be happy, you will do your best to make your content as unique as possible. You can make interesting posts, but on the other hand, if you go too far, no one will want to read what you have written. So when you make a blog post, and humor, variety and as much of your personality as you can. Don’t be obvious by alternating between them all the time. Be sure to use the same writing voice, but alternate what you are doing in unexpected ways.
People that do blogging find it challenging, sort of like a puzzle, plus they have a lot of fun. Whatever you blog about, it needs to help your target audience, something that will take you far when it comes to blogging. It’s easy to forget about the people that are in your audience, so don’t do that – pay attention to them, and make sure they know you care, no matter what it takes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
