Aloe vera has long been known to have beneficial properties – you may have seen someone pluck a leaf from an aloe vera plant, cut it in half, and rub the gel-like inside on a minor cut or a burn. And if you are suffering with psoriasis, you may be wondering if aloe vera’s amazing healing properties can help you.
Why is aloe vera so beneficial?
Aloe vera doesn’t just make a nifty house plant. Aloe vera is full of beta-carotene, antioxidants, vitamins C, A, and E, magnesium, calcium, and folic acid. It seems to have not only soothing properties, but also antibacterial properties and is used to relieve sunburns, moisturize the skin, and reduce the time a wound will typically take to heal. It can also lighten skin blemishes, fight age lines, and reduce acne. And its use doesn’t just benefit skin! It is also said to provide heartburn relief, help bleeding or swollen gums to feel better, lower blood sugar, and it can even act as a laxative.
And, yes, it has been used to help those with psoriasis, although the experts say more research is needed to determine to what extent it can be used for psoriasis and to see what the long-term effects are. And, you should know that some people are allergic to it, so before you cover a large patch of your skin with it, do a test on one small area to make sure you won’t have a reaction (if you are allergic to garlic or onions, you may have an increased risk of being allergic to aloe vera).
You don’t have to get it straight from the plant, either, to reap its benefits. You can try a topical gel or a cream with aloe vera in it that you can get from your local drug store. You should know that it might take several applications before you really see any difference.
If you decide you want to give aloe vera (or any other alternative treatment) a try to help your psoriasis, you should speak to your doctor about it first. Call Skin Care Research today, at (561) 948-3116, for help finding the right treatment for psoriasis! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Garry Kasparov is a Grand Master and World Chess Champion considered the best player of all time. He is also an international speaker on business strategy.
Garry Kasparov became the under-18 chess champion of the USSR at the age of 12 and the world under-20 champion at 17. He came to international fame at the age of 22 as the youngest world chess champion in history in 1985. Kasparov broke Bobby Fischer’s rating record in 1990 and his own peak rating record remained unbroken until 2013.
Garry Kasparov’s famous matches against the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue in 1996-97 were key to bringing artificial intelligence, and chess, into the mainstream. They also sparked Kasparov’s passionate interest in the human relationship with our increasingly intelligent machines, a theme he has investigated for decades beginning with the invention of “Advanced Chess” (human plus machine) in 1998.
In 2005, Garry Kasparov, in his 20th year as the world’s top-rated player, retired from professional chess to join the vanguard of the Russian pro-democracy movement. In 2012, Kasparov was named chairman of the New York-based Human Rights Foundation, succeeding Václav Havel; HRF promotes individual liberty worldwide and organizes the annual Oslo Freedom Forum.
The US-based Kasparov Chess Foundation non-profit promotes the teaching of chess in education systems around the world. Its program is already in use in schools across the United States, and KCF also has centers in Brussels, Johannesburg, Singapore, and Mexico City.
Since 1990, Garry Kasparov has been a regular contributor on politics to many major publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The New York Daily News. He speaks frequently to business audiences around the world on strategy, decision-making, and artificial intelligence. In 2016, Kasparov was named a Security Ambassador by Avast Software, where he discusses cybersecurity and the digital future, and to the executive board of the Foundation for Responsible Robotics.
In 2017, Garry Kasparov founded the Renew Democracy Initiative, dedicated to promoting the principles of the free world. After adding hundreds of prominent signatories from all parts of the political spectrum and around the world, RDI’s first project was an essay collection modeled on the Federalist Papers titled Fight for Liberty, which was published in October 2018.
Garry Kasparov’s book, How Life Imitates Chess, on strategy and decision-making, is available in over 20 languages. He is also the author of two acclaimed series of chess books, My Great Predecessors and Modern Chess. Kasparov’s prescient 2015 book, Winter Is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped, is a blend of history, memoire, and analysis of the threats to the modern world order. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A team of 33 affiliated providers and employees from offices in Tennessee gathered at two Nashville Castle Dental offices to give people in need a reason to smile. The one-day event in mid-August not only lifted up some people without access to dental care, it gave the volunteers a renewed sense of purpose.
The local leadership team organized their Day of Giving with the help of the Smiles for Everyone Executive Director Crystal Strait. All patients were pre-screened for need and given their own appointments. Some people had simple exams, x-rays, and cleanings, while others had more extensive treatment, including extractions, restorations and root canal therapy.
Dentists and hygienists, with help from dental assistants and support from non-clinical team members, provided free dental care for people in need who had been referred by local social services organizations.
Volunteer dentists included: Dr. Christian Bennerman, Oral Surgeon; Dr. Claudette Carrion, Lead Dentist, Murfreesboro; Dr. Tim Mathis, Lead Dentist, Franklin, and PC President/DCC, Tenn.; Dr. William Owens, Lead Dentist, Tullahoma; and Dr. Cheryl Snyder, Lead Dentist, Nashville-Nolensville Rd., and DCC. (Scroll down to see a complete list of volunteers.)
“I am so excited to be able to enjoy eating again. I have been in extreme pain for years. I can’t thank you enough for giving me this opportunity,” said patient Steven LaBonne.
Patient Debbie Wulforst said, “I am eternally grateful for the care I received today. It’s going to change my life.”
Patient Penny Henson said, “I’m impressed that you have so many people willing to volunteer their time.”
Positive Provider Experiences
The staff noted that some patients touched the dentists’ hearts so deeply that the doctors will be providing them additional treatment, such as root canals and crowns, in the near future.
“It was a pleasure to provide dental services to the local community,” said Dr. Mathis. “I’m proud to know we made a difference for so many people that day and I look forward to hosting another Day of Giving in the future.”
Said Dr. Carrion, “It was great to see the staff from different centers come together and work as a team. It reminds me of my favorite quote: ‘Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.’”
“At my alma mater, Meharry [Medical College, Nashville], our motto is ‘to serve the underserved,” reflects Dr. Bennerman. “I truly believe that improving the lives of our fellow human beings is not monetary, but mandatory. I look forward to the next event.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Till date, the Air Jordan 1 "Bred" sneakers remains one of the most recognizable shoes in the history of sneaker industry across the globe. Nearly after four decades of its initial release, this legendary shoe is reportedly making a comeback in 2025.
The "Bred" shoes are known for its black and red, "Bred" colorway and its place in basketball and fashion history. The shoe was first introduced in 1985 by Nike in collaboration with Michael Jordan, the legendary former basketball player.
At that time, a shoe featuring a high-top silhoutte was relatively uncommon. Nike and Jordan have produced countless models since then. Nevertheless, the Air Jordan 1 "Bred" has held a fixed place in the hearts of sneakerheads around the globe. The design of the sneakers was done by Peter Moore. He is an American designer, who had been the creative director of both Nike and Adidas.
OG Air Jordan 1 "Bred"
The origin of the Air Jordan 1 "Bred" goes back to a pivotal moment in Michael Jordan’s career. The shoe, which was mainly designed by Peter Moore, was one of the original colorways in the Air Jordan 1 series.
It featured a bold black and red color scheme. However, Michael Jordan was not initially sold on the design. He reportedly told Moore,
"I can’t wear those colors. Those are the devil’s colors."
Despite his initial reluctance, the former basketball player Jordan would eventually agree to sport the sneakers.
The shoe’s colorway name “Bred”, is a blend of "black" and "red." It is also sometimes referred to as “Banned” by fans due to the context of its NBA ban. Although, back then, National Basketball Association's uniform guidelines required shoes to be primarily white, Jordan wore a black and red pair of sneakers during his rookie year. That was a clear violation of the league’s uniform color rules. Hence, it got 'banned' by NBA.
Nike decided to launch a marketing campaign, for the Air Jordan 1, centering on this 'ban'. That campaign effectively made the "Bred" colorway look as 'a symbol of rebellion'. As a result, the shoes quickly became a cultural phenomenon in the sportswear industry.
Below is what the official Nike SNRKS had to say about the shoe:
"A colorway synonymous with His Airness for over 35 years, the Black and Red Air Jordan 1 returns this season to shine like never before. Made famous by its "forbidden" mythology and MJ's majestic leaps during the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, this edition is covered in patent leather, adding a touch of luxury to one of MJ's most legendary looks."
The Air Jordan 1 "Bred" features a upper is made entirely of leather. The two tone color scheme features a deep red and stark black. These colors reportedly refer to the Chicago Bulls, the team Jordan famously played for.
The upper is mostly black, with red on the toebox, ankle collar, and iconic Nike Swoosh. The toebox of the shoes adds a hint of contrast with its rich red color. The sneaker features a clean white midsole that divides the upper from the rubber outsole.
The Air Jordan 1 "Bred" was reissued multiple times over the years, but the upcoming 2025 version is expected to be closer to the original 1985 version as compared to others.
While the release date is not officially declared yet, it is being reported that the drop is scheduled on February 14, 2025 with a price point of around USD 250.

The Evolution and Impact of Sportswear Attire
In recent years, sportswear attire has transcended its traditional boundaries, evolving into a multifaceted segment of fashion that combines functionality, comfort, and style
. The rise of athleisure—a term that fuses athletic wear with leisure—has revolutionized the way people perceive and utilize sportswear, shaping not just the fashion industry but also lifestyle choices around the globe.Historically, sportswear was primarily designed for athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities. It was functional, often made from materials that prioritized performance over aesthetics. However, as society became more health-conscious and the fitness culture began to thrive, the demand for sportswear expanded beyond the gym and playing fields. Today, it has found a permanent place in everyday wardrobes, as individuals seek attire that allows for seamless transitions between workouts and daily activities.
One of the key drivers of this transformation is the advancement in fabric technology. Modern sportswear is often made from high-performance materials that offer moisture-wicking properties, breathability, flexibility, and durability. Brands like Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour have pioneered innovations that enhance the user experience, resulting in clothing that not only performs well during exercise but also looks great outside of it. This blend of performance and style has made it increasingly common to see yoga pants, athletic shorts, and moisture-wicking tops worn in casual settings, from coffee shops to the office.
Moreover, the influence of social media and fitness influencers has played a significant role in popularizing sportswear. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok showcase individuals sporting trendy athletic outfits, often inspiring their followers to adopt similar styles. Influencers and brand ambassadors often promote a lifestyle that emphasizes health and fitness, making sportswear an integral part of this narrative. As more people aspire to lead active lives, they turn to sportswear that reflects their values and lifestyle choices.
Another factor contributing to the rise of sportswear is the shift in consumer attitudes towards comfort. The contemporary lifestyle calls for versatility; people want clothing that allows them to move freely and comfortably throughout their day. Sportswear fits this requirement perfectly, offering styles that are not only functional but also designed to be flattering. As a result, items like joggers, casual sneakers, and hoodies have become staples in many closets, proving that comfort can indeed be fashionable.
Sustainability has also become a significant focus within the realm of sportswear. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, many brands are now prioritizing sustainable practices. This includes using recycled materials, promoting ethical manufacturing processes, and creating long-lasting products. Brands such as PUMA and Reebok have launched initiatives that highlight their commitment to sustainability, resonating with a generation that values corporate responsibility as much as personal style.
In conclusion, sportswear attire has come a long way from its functional roots as a necessity for athletes. Today, it represents a lifestyle choice that embodies health, comfort, and style. The fusion of fashion and function has made sportswear a dominant player in the fashion landscape, with its reach extending far beyond gym walls. As we continue on this path of evolution, it is clear that sportswear will remain a key component of modern fashion, influencing not just what we wear, but also how we live. Whether in the form of stylish leggings or breathable sneakers, the impact of sportswear attire is undeniable, shaping both individual identities and broader cultural trends in the process. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Forex trading, or foreign exchange trading, is the act of buying and selling currencies to profit from changes in exchange rates. As the largest financial market in the world, with a daily trading volume exceeding $6.6 trillion according to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), forex trading attracts both novice and experienced traders. This article aims to provide an in-depth analysis of whether forex trading is good or bad, supported by accurate data, case studies, and user feedback, to help traders make informed decisions.
One of the primary advantages of forex trading is its high liquidity. The immense daily trading volume ensures that traders can enter and exit positions with ease, without significantly affecting market prices.
The forex market's daily trading volume surpasses $6.6 trillion, highlighting its unparalleled liquidity compared to other financial markets. This liquidity is crucial for executing large trades quickly and efficiently.
The forex market operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, providing continuous opportunities for trading. This round-the-clock availability allows traders to react to news and events in real-time.
"The 24-hour nature of the forex market means I can trade at any time, which fits perfectly with my schedule and allows me to capitalize on global market movements," shares a forex trader.
Forex brokers offer leverage, which allows traders to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. This can amplify potential returns, making forex trading appealing for those with limited capital.
A trader using 50:1 leverage can control a $50,000 position with just $1,000 in their account. This leverage magnifies profits if the trade moves in their favor, demonstrating the potential for significant returns.
Forex trading typically involves low transaction costs, especially when compared to other financial markets. Many brokers charge no commissions but make money through the bid-ask spread.
A trader finds that their broker charges a spread of 1 pip on the EUR/USD pair. Given the pair's high liquidity, this low transaction cost makes frequent trading more feasible and less costly.
While the potential for high returns is appealing, forex trading is inherently risky and volatile. Price movements can be unpredictable, and traders can experience significant losses if they are not careful.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the forex market experienced extreme volatility. Traders who were unprepared for such rapid and unpredictable price swings suffered substantial losses, highlighting the importance of risk management.
Forex trading can be emotionally taxing, especially during periods of high market volatility. Traders must be able to manage their emotions and avoid impulsive decisions to succeed.
"Forex trading can be very stressful, especially when the market is volatile. It's crucial to have a solid trading plan and stick to it to avoid emotional decision-making," advises an experienced trader.
The forex market is complex, influenced by various factors such as economic indicators, geopolitical events, and market sentiment. Successful traders need to continuously educate themselves and stay updated with global developments.
A trader dedicates time each week to studying market analysis, attending webinars, and reading financial news to stay informed and improve their trading strategies.
The use of leverage, while offering the potential for high returns, also increases the risk of significant losses. Traders can lose more than their initial investment if the market moves against them.
According to a study by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), approximately 70% of retail traders lose money when trading forex. This statistic underscores the importance of understanding the risks involved and implementing effective risk management strategies.
Forex trading offers numerous benefits, including high liquidity, 24-hour market access, leverage opportunities, and low transaction costs. However, it also comes with significant risks, emotional stress, complexity, and the potential for substantial losses. Whether forex trading is good or bad depends on the individual trader's risk tolerance, financial goals, and commitment to continuous learning and disciplined trading practices. By carefully weighing these pros and cons, traders can make more informed decisions about their involvement in the forex market.

I am such a sucker for tea names, I figured, why the hell not?
The first tea to try out of the gate, this was also the first tea I pulled out of the box. This is such a fragrant tea! The dry leaf is just dripping with gooey marshmallow sweetness. There are pieces of rice crispies in the bag, lending to the malty smell, as well as some strange dust of pulverized cereal pieces. It’s probably one of the strongest smelling teas I have smelled. (probably to date, it’s quite the head rush!)
Upon steeping the tea, I do get a bit of a sour note from the base black tea. Nothing that makes me want to put down the cup though. I can see this tea being a treat iced, because of the robustness in the cup. The rice crispness of the tea is the show stopper here, the sweet marshmallow and the rice flour richness is quite strong, and I expected no less from this blend. I actually resteeped this too, with interesting results. The sweetness was almost all that was left, and there was little malty note from the tea base/rice crispies. A crazy decadent black tea, great for you dessert lovers out there! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Skibbereen and Bandon Credit Union will launch their Agri Credit Rural Enterprise (ACRE) package at the Copper Grove in Bandon on Thursday next, March 8th.
SKIBBEREEN and Bandon Credit Union will launch their Agri Credit Rural Enterprise (ACRE) package at the Copper Grove in Bandon on Thursday next, March 8th.
ACRE is a new agri initiative for farmers which will offer unsecured loans up to €50,000 for the first time, as well as larger amounts for secured lending. The initiative aims to support the sustainability of country living in West Cork by offering farmers short- to medium-term lending based on their specific needs, along with providing flexible finance for farming diversification such as agri-tourism and artisan food productions, which West Cork is renowned for.
With more than €50million available for local lending, the finance can be used for stocking, reclamation, machinery purchase, cash flow and building, which will allow farmers to diversify and scope out opportunities for their business.
The initiative goes one step further to collaborate with farmers and help them make smarter borrowing decisions with the aid of a risk evaluation tool Visualyze, a farming-specific software. Visualyze analyses all relevant up-to-date market and borrower information to allow the credit union to work with the farmer to develop a business plan and projections, ensuring that the best lending solution is provided for long term benefit.
ACRE allows farmers the flexibility to match their repayments to their cashflow, allowing them to reduce risk by paying in advance during peak periods so repayments can be reduced during leaner times.
The loan can also be paid off early without penalty and also offers protection for families with free life cover.
Speaking ahead of the launch of ACRE, Donal O’Driscoll, CEO of Skibbereen and Bandon Credit Union said, ‘Although Skibbereen Credit Union has been offering finance to farmers for almost two decades, it has become obvious that today’s farmer requires more help and support when planning for the future. Community-owned credit unions who are committed to rural sustainability are best placed to support rural change throughout the whole value-chain.
‘Raising sufficient capital is still a major problem facing farmers who want to progress. Locals interested in finding out more are welcome to attend the launch this coming Thursday, 8th, in Bandon or they can contact their local credit union branch. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

An open letter to IOC & IPC leadership
More than 150 experts on the intersection of human rights, social justice, and sport across all five continents are issuing a call to the leadership of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to change their course on IOC Rule 50 and IPC Section 2.2, respectively. The letter adds to global collective efforts calling for amendments to IOC Rule 50/IPC Section 2.2 to demonstrate a commitment to human rights, racial justice, and social inclusion in the Olympic and Paralympic Movements.
In addition to the 150 signatories representing various academic disciplines, cultural contexts, and sport industry expertise, the letter is supported by more than 20 organizations committed to athlete empowerment, human rights, and utilizing the power of sport for positive social change, including the Muhammad Ali Center, the Australia Human Rights Institute, Global Athlete, Athlete Ally, and The Olympism Project. The letter is also endorsed by a group of current and former Olympic and Paralympic athletes, including Tommie Smith and John Carlos.
As a call for leadership that centers a commitment to human rights and provides all athletes with human dignity and fundamental human rights, the letter asks the IOC/IPC, IOC Athletes Commission, and IPC Athletes Council to do the following:
- For the Tokyo and Beijing Games, refrain from imposing sanctions on athletes protesting and demonstrating in accordance with internationally-recognized human rights frameworks in any Olympic/Paralympic sites, venues or other areas – including the podium. These frameworks protect protests in support of racial and social justice (e.g., kneeling, raising one’s fist). They do not protect hate speech or protests/demonstrations discriminatory in nature.
- Upon conclusion of the Beijing Games, commit to a comprehensive review of IOC Rule 50/IPC Section 2.2 in collaboration with the IOC Advisory Committee on Human Rights and independent human rights experts to align the rule with internationally-recognized human rights frameworks, as outlined in the letter. This review should pay close attention to the wording used in IOC Rule 50/IPC Section 2.2, particularly to the use of “racial propaganda” in this context. We recommend removing this language from the rules.
- Amend the Athletes’ Rights & Responsibilities Declaration in accordance with internationally-recognized human rights frameworks, as outlined in the letter.
- Adopt an Eighth Principle of Olympism focused specifically on human rights (see the October 2019 proposal of Athletes CAN, Athletes Germany, Global Athlete, the New Zealand Athletes Federation, and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Athletes Advisory Council).
The full-length letter, including a list of signatories, supporting organizations, and athlete supporters, can be accessed here.

Infront, the international sports marketing agency, has extended its media rights partnership with the FIA, motor racing’s governing body, covering the World Endurance Championship, in a long-term deal that also includes Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the French organizer of the iconic Le Mans 24 Hours WEC race.
The extension of the partnership, which was initially struck in 2015 and then renewed for three years in October 2018, will see Infront continue to distribute the worldwide broadcasting rights to the WEC, the series of long-distance sports car races that includes Le Mans.
Six years ago, Infront replaced rival IMG as the marketer of international rights to the WEC.
Pierre Fillon, president of the ACO, said: “Infront has worked with us on elaborating a strategy that enables us to leverage our content offering while keeping us operationally involved in all decisions and bringing us to the table with broadcasters. We highly value their transparency and expertise and are looking forward to the upcoming years together.”
Julien Ternisien, senior vice president of summer sports at Infront, added: “We welcome this extension with WEC and the ACO and have a clear goal in mind for the years to come: make sure the media distribution we deliver for WEC grows together with the sport of endurance.”
The 2022 WEC season will feature six races across three continents, starting in the US in March, and then concluding in Bahrain in November.

By GlobalDataThe ACO has a rolling contract in place with the FIA to promote the WEC, with the latest extension having been signed in August this year.
Infront, it has now claimed, has extended the series’ broadcast reach significantly over the course of the last three years, adding in broadcast partners including JSports in Japan, SuperSport in sub-Saharan Africa, L’Equipe in France, RTL7 Netherlands, TV2 Denmark, and Sky New Zealand.
Over the course of the 2021 season, fans in 196 countries were able to watch WEC action.
Frédéric Lequien, chief executive of FIA WEC, said: “This is a very exciting time for endurance racing. We expect epic battles on the track in the years to come and we will be able to tell incredible stories to our fans across the world.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
One of the most improbable victories in a golf major changed John Daly’s life forever in 1991, and fans have followed his career passionately since. However, few know the story of three other lives that underwent major change that same weekend because of the PGA Championship.
They suffered a stunning tragedy but persevered with Daly’s help in a story that went untold for more than a decade and remains largely unknown. We’ve all heard about unpleasant aspects of Daly’s life after his breakthrough triumph, but this story delivers an entirely different perspective.
John Daly’s victory in the 1991 PGA Championship was the stuff of legends
Daly needed four tries to earn his PGA Tour privileges, but it didn’t take him long to capitalize in the most improbable of ways in 1991. Daly was a grinder that season, making 21 of 33 cuts and posting 11 top-25 finishes. He had played seven straight weeks over the summer – virtually unheard of now – but was so far down the list of alternates for the PGA Championship that a spot in the season’s final major at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Indiana, seemed out of the question.
However, Nick Price withdrew a day before the tournament, making him the ninth pro to bow out. Suddenly invited, Daly drove seven hours to get to the course, enlisted Price’s caddie, Jeff “Squeaky” Medlin, to carry his bag, and fired an opening-round 69.
Daly closed out with rounds of 67, 69, and 71 to hold off Bruce Lietzke by three shots and earn $230,000 for the first of his five PGA Tour wins. The combination of Daly becoming the first rookie to win a major since Jerry Pate at the 1976 U.S. Open and his “grip it and rip it” style immediately endeared Daly to golf fans.
Tragedy struck at the PGA Championship
A storm rolled through Carmel, Indiana, during the first round of the 1991 PGA Championship, requiring tournament officials to evacuate the course. Spectator Tom Weaver was walking to his car when a bolt of lightning struck him in the chest, killing the 39-year-old fan. He left behind a wife, Dee, and two pre-teen daughters, Emily and Karen.
Days after his breakthrough victory, Daly wrote a check for $30,000 and sent it to Dee Weaver, asking her to set up a college fund for her daughters. The gesture surfaced publicly long after the fact.
“For him to win this iconic tournament and to be so selfless and share his winnings with us, it does shed a light on his true character and what he values most,” Weaver told ESPN.
Weaver, who has since remarried, sought out an investment adviser, and Daly’s money put Emily through two years at Purdue, after which she finished up degree work in respiratory therapy from the College of DuPage. Karen majored in biology at Indiana, attended medical school, and now works as a palliative physician.
“I didn’t understand the magnitude of John’s sacrifice at the time,” Emily said. “I just assumed it was some guy who had gotten a big paycheck and was generous enough to give some of it to us.”
Said Daly: “It really was amazing what their mother did with the money to help her children at the time.”
Daly finally met the Weaver family
Daly said he feared triggering memories of the tragedy, so he did not reach out to the Weavers until hearing in 2005 from Steve Fisher, the girls’ stepfather. They agreed to meet soon afterward at a nearby charity tournament.
“I just met two wonderful people,” Daly said, according to ESPN. “I met a great mother and a great stepfather, who also stepped up to take great care of those girls. I told them that I was just so proud of them for what they accomplished and, to this day, was so sad for what they went through at a young age.
“I was just so glad I could step in to help them. And I wasn’t looking for any publicity; I was just so happy because it’s such a memorable place and special place and special for me in my life.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Thursday night June 23rd was an evening to remember, as 60 friends gathered to celebrate the release of A Thousand Years with dinner, music and stories. This reminded me to keep living in the moment, to remember to celebrate life’s blessings along the way. Bread of Angels was particularly special that night, as I shared the “passport story” (see June 16th blog post) and how this music and inspiration from Psalm 78:25 symbolizes provision in our lives. At first glance it seems to apply to food, shelter and finances, but with further reflection, I realize this music expresses provision on many different levels.

Below are some simple pitching instructions for the Mountain Laurel Designs Trailstar, which follows on from my earlier review. Hopefully these are simple enough to follow.
Set poles to the correct heights, 47" & 44" for my Pacer Poles.
Figure 2Peg Trailstar loosely on the ground by the main corner peg out points, allowing plenty of slack near the MLD logo (door) see figure 2.
Figure 3Take your heighest pole (47") and place in the centre as your main support, should now look like figure 3.
Figure 5Go to the back corner, opposite the door it will look like slack picture in figure 4. Move the stake so seam/ridge is tight, then move the peg to the right so the panel is tight, do the same to left it should now look like the tight picture (figure 5).
Figure 6Do the same for the remaining 2 main peg out points pulling all the slack towards the door (MLD logo) which should now look like figure 6.
Figure 8Take your remaining pole (44") and push the point into the ground in front of the door. Wrap the guy twice around below where the guy comes from the Trailstar end, then wrap again twice above (figure 7). Pull the guy line tight from the pole to the ground and stake in place. Adjust the guys if needed. Hopefully the Trailstar now looks like figure 8.
Figure 9The Trailstar is now perfectly stable, I normally stake the remaining 4 points just to add extra security in the wind (figure 9).
If you have any problems regarding pitching or would like to correct anything I've said please comment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Although the Stewardship Foundation has been in existence since 1990, (You can read about our history: www.stewardshipworks.org), Joe Finneran and I decided to shift the foundation’s focus because we were inspired by the Manhattan Declaration. This declaration is a statement of belief of course, but is also a challenge issued by Roman Catholic and Protestant pastors to embrace what we share; oppose what we know that violates our Judeo-Christian heritage; and put at God’s disposal what He has given to his people.
Too often people focus on what divides us and too often people embrace relativism and inaction. Consequently ministries are dying on the vine because they are not replenished with the necessary resources even though those resources are available through existing and future donations.
The SF is an ecumenical, Christian-based foundation that works with all faiths that promote respect for human life from conception to natural death, honor traditional families that encourage the full development of men, women, and children who are created in God’s image; and that safe guard religious freedom as a means to embrace our Creator God, our Savior Jesus Christ, and the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit as we understand them.
Jesus said “For whoever is not against us is for us.” (Mark 9:40) We believe the Manhattan Declaration enables us to see that there are more people for us and our cause than are against us. We at the Stewardship Foundation seek to be inclusive and unite those who are not against us. Our challenge is to build on that which we share and encourage those who share our mission to financially support those ministries in the trenches furthering the kingdom of God here on earth. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

“We’re happy to not only bring our guests back to this ancient canal city but also to let them see the beauties of neighbouring villages such as Chioggia, which only smaller ships may visit,” said Mike Pawlus, Azamara’s Director of Strategic Itinerary & Destination Planning.
“We are excited to once again immerse our guests in the destination’s rich local culture and great historical attractions.”
Azamara’s continuing pursuit of hidden jewels provides guests with the unique chance to discover Chioggia, which has lately witnessed a surge in tourism due to the flourishing of bacari, which are bars selling wine and finger food around the major canal, Riva Vena.

When I saw this faux fur coat on the sale rail in Marks and Spencer I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. It’s not like I don’t already have a faux fur coat or three, but when you see one this gorgeous and it’s reduced to less than £20 it’s just not possible to walk on by. I also had another excuse: I was visiting my mum, who as well as being my shopping partner in crime, also lives in a very old house with no central heating.
To justify my purchase I wore the coat all that evening and I’m glad to say it kept me lovely and warm! You see husband I really did need it! Wearing such a statement coat meant keeping the rest of my outfit fairly simple, so I paired an old See by Chloe black pencil skirt with a grey jumper.
There was no way I was taking my coat off outside on a bitterly cold February day but you can see how I wore it previously on the blog here. I toyed with the idea of wearing plain black sunglasses (although it doesn’t look it in the photos it was quite sunny) but these black and white Ralph Lauren shades are much more fun, and I think they go with the coat rather well!
Coat: Marks and Spencer, skirt: See by Chloe, boots: Laceys, ring and bracelet: Pia, sunglasses: Ralph Lauren.

I am writing about the proposal to build a new convention
facility in Sudbury. On the face of it, this is quite a
good idea. The powers behind the concept seem to
understand the need for diversity in our economy.
That having been said, there are two real concerns that I
hope will be addressed before too much money is committed to
First, the convention market is very lucrative. But it is also finite.
There are only so many conventions to go around. To
bring new ones to Sudbury, they will have to be taken away from
other centres that already have entrenched and successful
convention marketing programs. The new facility, if and
when it comes on stream, will be tricky and costly (but not
impossible) to promote. Skilled and expensive personnel
will have to be retained to do the job. The $100,000 club
will undoubtedly expand, this time for good reason.
The second problem that I hope will receive some attention
is the determination of the American government to require
passports to gain entry and re-entry to the United
States. Only 20 percent of Americans now carry
passports. If the passport requirement becomes law, the
whole Canadian convention market could be dealt a body
It is highly likely that large American organizations that
periodically hold their conventions outside the United States
will skip the passport hassle and keep their business at
home. Even if the decision is made to accept some sort of
tamper-proof identity card, there is no assurance that it will
be more widely acquired than the traditional passport.
Nevertheless I wish the folks well in this new and exciting

Suzanne Somers was not part of the “in memoriam” segment at the 2024 Oscars. Although there was a lot of outrage over the omission, her husband, Alan Hamel, had a classy response.
Videos by Suggest
“Last time I checked, we still had a First Amendment. I respect the Academy’s decision to not include Suzanne In Memoriam. Frankly, the outpouring from millions of her fans was the kind of In Memoriam Suzanne would have lovingly embraced,” he said.
“She adored and respected her Fans. And similarly enjoyed a beautiful relationship with the Media and Paparazzi who elevated her career to heights rarely seen.”
Al Pacino Responds to Snubbing Nominees at Oscars
The 2024 Oscars did not come without controversy and one of the controversial moments involved famed actor Al Pacino.
Pacino was up to present the award for Best Picture. It is customary for the award presenter to read off all of the nominees and then announce the winner. But Pacino skipped the nominees and announced Oppenheimer as the winner.
The moment went viral on social media and some thought Pacino did it intentionally. But the day after the ceremony he clarified his actions.
“Just want to be clear it was not my intention to omit them, but rather a choice by the producers not to have them said again since they were highlighted individually throughout the ceremony. I was honored to be a part of the evening and chose to follow the way they wished for this award to be presented,” Pacino said in a statement.

In 2009, bestselling authors Kevin J. Anderson, Brandon Sanderson, Dave Wolverton (aka David Farland), Eric Flint, and Rebecca Moesta (Anderson) got together to share how they handled various aspects of their writing businesses. Considering themselves fortunate to have friends from whom they could learn, the authors observed that because writing is an often-solitary art form, most authors probably didn’t have access to professionals in their field to help them on their journey.
As a result, the authors founded Superstars Writing Seminars, primarily to assist and educate authors on the business of writing.
The first Superstars event was held in 2010. In 2012, author James A. Owen was invited to join the group of founders. The founders had envisioned an entirely new group of budding writers showing up each year to learn everything they needed to know about publishing. The publishing business, however, cannot be taught in a few days. It is in a constant state of change, and seminars are updated every year to address those changes.
Attendees returned year after year and began volunteering to pay for new individuals to attend as well. Many believed so strongly in the goals of Superstars that they offered donations and support.
This was an unexpected and organic process. Each year, donors told us that they could increase their support of Superstars if we became a nonprofit with tax-exempt status. It was clear to those of us who worked on the annual conferences that this would benefit all attendees and allow us to offer a wider variety of services.
After more than 10 years of successful conferences, the founders reorganized Superstars Writing Seminars in 2022 as Superstars Writing, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing knowledge and resources to writers, aspiring writers, and other publishing professionals on an ongoing basis. An all-volunteer Board of Directors provides direction and guidance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In Stuttgart, Germany, the Porsche Arena buzzed with energy as gymnasts from across the globe gathered for the 2024 EnBW DTB Pokal Team Challenge Cup.
The Team Challenge took place on the 15th of March 2024. Ritam and Daniel, joined by teammates Tru Hagens from New South Wales and Caedan McIlhatton from Queensland, formed the Australian Junior Men’s Artistic Gymnastics Team.
For 16-year-old Daniel, stepping into the arena to the roaring crowd was an unforgettable moment. He described the cheers as “loud and encouraging”.
Despite the difficulty of travel logistics, Daniel said “planning and gradual adjustments ensured I delivered all six routines”. Proof of his focus is in the weeks leading up to the competition.
Of his standout performances, Daniel expressed great pride in his vault and parallel bars routines. He said, “I executed both of these to the best of my abilities, even with prior injuries affecting my preparation.”
Daniel showed great team spirit during the event and credited his unwavering positivity to the support of his Australian teammates.
“The teams were supportive throughout the entire trip between juniors and seniors, allowing us to maintain a good mentality, which provided good results”, he said.
Meanwhile, Ritam took the chance to show his progress in working under pressure this year. In the week leading up to the event, he concentrated on staying calm and trusting his training, avoiding stress and overtraining.
Using this focus throughout the Team Challenge Cup, Ritam earned himself a spot in the pommel horse apparatus finals, qualifying in 2nd place. In the finals, 16-year-old Ritam performed his pommel horse routine, scoring 13.733to win the gold medal and Pommel Horse Champion title!
“I felt relief and was so appreciative of family, friends and the whole Sydney Hills Gymnastics community for all their support, he said.
Team spirit played a vital role in the Australian Junior Team’s success in finishing in 5th place. Ritam said, “Our goal of being the loudest team there and focusing on competing for the team result instead of personal finals changed the dynamic of the team in the
Team Coach Vassili Trofimov said he felt proud and privileged to be part of the experience. He said, “It was an amazing trip to share with the Australian Gymnastics Team. The boys demonstrated courage and tough character, all contributing to the team’s success.”
Vassili added that supporting each other and working for the team score was the real value of the competition experience.
“Each gymnast maximised their performance and stepped up if another teammate made an error. Working together meant they achieved the best 3 possible scores, helping Australia to finish in 5th place overall.”

Understanding Work Culture
Work culture encompasses the values, beliefs, and behaviors that characterize an organization and influence its environment. It sets the tone for how employees interact, make decisions, and accomplish their tasks. Work culture varies across industries, from the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of tech startups to the structured, hierarchical nature of traditional corporations. The impact of culture is profound, as evidenced by a study from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), which found that 45% of employees cite culture as a major factor in job satisfaction and retention.
Impact of Work Culture on Employee Engagement
Positive work culture enhances employee motivation and satisfaction, leading to higher engagement levels. Engaged employees are more productive, more committed, and less likely to leave their jobs. Data from Gallup indicates that companies with high employee engagement experience a 21% increase in profitability. Furthermore, organizations with strong work cultures report a 37% reduction in absenteeism and a 41% decrease in quality defects. Employee retention rates are significantly improved when the work culture aligns with employees’ values and needs.
Fostering Innovation and Creativity
An open and supportive culture is essential for fostering innovation. When employees feel safe to express ideas and take risks, creativity flourishes. Companies like Google and 3M, known for their innovative products, have cultures that encourage experimentation and tolerate failure. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) emphasizes that companies with a culture of innovation outperform their peers by 30% in long-term growth. Strategies to cultivate such a culture include providing resources for continuous learning and recognizing and rewarding creative contributions.
Enhancing Organizational Performance
The link between work culture and overall organizational productivity is undeniable. Organizations with strong, positive cultures see higher levels of employee performance and efficiency. For instance, a study by the Corporate Leadership Council found that improving an organization’s culture could boost performance by up to 25%. High-performing organizations like Southwest Airlines attribute their success to a cohesive and supportive work culture that prioritizes employee well-being and customer satisfaction.
Building Stronger Teams
Trust and collaboration are cornerstones of effective team dynamics. A work culture that promotes these values leads to stronger, more cohesive teams. Teams with high levels of trust perform better and are more innovative. Research from the American Psychological Association (APA) shows that employees in high-trust organizations are 50% more productive and experience 76% more engagement. Successful teams driven by positive culture often exhibit better problem-solving abilities and adaptability.
Attracting and Retaining Top Talent
A positive work culture is a powerful tool for attracting talented professionals. Companies that are known for their strong cultures, such as Patagonia and Zappos, draw top talent who are looking for more than just a paycheck. Work culture also impacts employee loyalty and retention. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), 95% of candidates consider company culture important when applying for a job. Organizations with a positive work culture report a 50% reduction in turnover rates, leading to significant cost savings and continuity.
Long-Term Business Success and Sustainability
The correlation between work culture and long-term business growth is clear. A positive culture contributes to sustainability by fostering ethical behavior, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship. Companies like Unilever and Ben & Jerry’s have thrived by embedding sustainability into their culture. The long-term benefits of a positive organizational culture include higher employee satisfaction, better customer relations, and a stronger brand reputation. Success stories from these organizations illustrate that a strong work culture is not just a competitive advantage but a fundamental component of enduring success.
By understanding and implementing a strong work culture, organizations can achieve remarkable success, driving innovation, performance, and long-term growth. A positive work culture fosters an environment where employees thrive, leading to sustainable business practices and overall organizational excellence. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the land of Middle Earth, there existed a witch named Morgath. She was unlike any other witch in the realm. Her powers were far beyond those of any mortal being, and her desire for power was insatiable. She had long been searching for a way to enhance her powers, and the answer lay in an ancient relic that was said to possess magical properties beyond imagination.
Morgath set out on a quest to find the relic, which was rumored to be hidden deep within the ancient ruins of a long-abandoned kingdom. She traveled for many days through treacherous terrain, battling fierce beasts and overcoming deadly obstacles along the way. Her journey took her through dark forests, over towering mountains, and across vast deserts, but she remained undeterred.
As she approached her destination, Morgath encountered a band of travelers who were also seeking the same relic. They were a diverse group, consisting of dwarves, elves, and humans. Despite their differences, they shared a common goal: to find the relic and use its power to defeat the evil that threatened their world.
Morgath was hesitant to join forces with the other travelers, for she did not trust them. But she knew that she could not complete her quest alone, so she reluctantly agreed to travel with them.
Together, they entered the ruins of the ancient kingdom, which were shrouded in darkness and mystery. They encountered many dangers along the way, including traps and deadly creatures that lurked in the shadows. But they persevered, driven by their determination to find the relic.
Finally, after many days of searching, they found what they had been looking for: a chamber deep within the ruins that contained the relic. It was a small, unassuming object, but Morgath knew that its power was immense.
As she reached out to take hold of the relic, a voice boomed through the chamber, warning them of the consequences of their actions. The voice belonged to a powerful spirit that had been guarding the relic for centuries, and it warned them that the relic was cursed.
Undeterred, Morgath seized the relic, ignoring the warnings of the spirit. She felt a surge of power flow through her body, and she knew that her quest had been successful.
But the curse of the relic was not to be taken lightly. As Morgath emerged from the ruins, she felt a darkness descend upon her. The power she had gained was not hers to control, and she knew that she had made a grave mistake.
The curse of the relic began to take hold of Morgath, twisting her mind and corrupting her soul. She became consumed by her desire for power, and she turned against her fellow travelers, seeking to destroy them and claim their power for herself.
The travelers were forced to band together to fend off Morgath’s attacks. They fought bravely, but they were no match for Morgath’s newfound powers. It seemed that all was lost, and that Morgath would prevail.
But then, a miracle occurred. The spirit that had guarded the relic appeared before the travelers, and it offered them a way to break the curse. They would have to sacrifice their own powers, giving them up willingly in order to break the curse that had befallen Morgath.
The travelers agreed without hesitation, for they knew that it was their only hope. As they surrendered their powers, they felt a great weight lifted from their shoulders. The curse was broken, and Morgath was restored to her former self.
Ashamed of what she had done, Morgath begged for forgiveness from her fellow travelers. They forgave her, knowing that she had been consumed by the curse of the relic.
Together, they returned to their own lands, forever changed by their journey. They had learned that power comes at a great cost, and that sometimes, the greatest strength lies in sacrifice. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

As mentioned in a previous post, on March 28th I filed an Ethics Complaint against Councilwoman Denise Belcher regarding an Application for a zoning variance before the Township’s Zoning Board of Adjustment.
Since Teaneck dissolved our local ethics board, the Complaint is adjudicated by the Local Government Division of the Local Finance Board.
The first step in resolving these types of complaints is to meet and determine if it’s frivolous or whether the allegations merit review. As per Counsel at the LFB, that happened today and as per the letter they just sent:
“Please be advised that it is the Board’s practice and intent to conduct a thorough investigation of the allegations presented. The Board’s staff is processing your complaint at this time and will, subsequently, present it to the Board for review and authorization of any necessary action. The Board will correspond with you as soon as a determination is made in this matter.”
Translation: It is not dismissed as frivolous.

Things are really heating up in the imaging market as smartphones start to muscle into the market with better lens and image processors.
This is the market that Samsung’s NX2000 will be entering and it will be challenging, since it will compete with not just the other contenders in the same market segment but also with smartphones.
Like with Samsung’s own NX300 Direct Link connection with iOS and Android smartphones, the NX2000 is able to quickly share photos taken with the camera. These are pushed to the smartphone to share on social media via the Samsung Smart Camera app.
Take note that the camera actually shrinks down the size of the photos to make the transfer much faster. Such an arrangement is actually safer as there are two copies of the same image.
The link also provides the ability to shoot remotely like the NX300. This means you can set a camera up using the smartphone screen and then trigger the camera from the phone.
The camera feels quite sturdy in the hands with deep set grip and a small thumb rest at the back. The camera is pretty bare, save for four buttons and the on/off switch – the video recording, home, direct link and playback buttons. The huge rear 3.7-inch screen is touch-enabled so navigating around is akin to using a smartphone camera app.
The smartphone similarities don’t stop there. The camera is charged via a microUSB connection on the side and it uses the smaller microSD cards seen more often in phones, instead of the bigger SD cards common on cameras.
The NX2000’s battery life is pretty impressive with 400 shots being shot without recharging, during my tests. As a consumer camera, it also comes with the requisite scene modes and effect filters. There is also a simple touch-up function to do some simple post editing in-camera.
Shot with NX2000’s Panoramic function: Bhutan’s Punakha Valley
One of the best features of the NX2000 is actually its Panoramic function. It is fast when it comes to stitching panoramas in-camera. And it’s pretty accurate as well.
Cycling Through Dusty Roads of Darjeerling.
The image quality of the NX2000, however, tends towards the consumer range of cameras. Even with a comparatively huge APS-C sized sensor, there is a hint of ISO noise even with the lowest ISO setting was used.
The image colour looks neutral most of the time, even to the point of it being overly muted when it is on “vivid” mode. Although one can boost colours in post editing, having a camera that get what is needed in-camera is a much-preferred time saver.
Bhutanese Boys Enjoying The Thimphu Festival
The NX2000 comes with a kit lens offering a focal length of 20-50mm (30-75mm full-frame equivalent). The aperture, from f3.5-5.6, has a slightly longer focal longer than other kit lens. Fortunately, it can go wide enough for a good landscape shot.
All in, the camera is pretty user-friendly, thanks to its touch-enabled screen and a handy control interface that offers a lot of direct control on screen.
The Internet-enabled features are a bonus but they are increasingly becoming the norm. I do miss using a regular-sized SD card and also a separate battery charger to charge an extra battery just in case I need to fire away more shots than expected. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Excel’s Subtotal feature calculates subtotals and grand totals for columnar data, but that’s not all it does. The feature supports eleven calculating processes: sum, count, average, maximum, minimum, product, count number, and more. The good news is that the feature requires very little set up – in less than a minute, you can render a rather complex problem into results.
For instance, suppose you need to count grouped items. You can use functions, but it might take you a while to come up with just the right combination. If your boss is standing there tapping her foot, you need something a bit quicker. That’s where Subtotal comes in.
Now, let’s look at a simple example. Specifically, let’s use Subtotal to return a count of the number of books due back on each date in the Due column in the sheet below.
The first step is to sort by the grouping column – that’s essential. In this case, that’s the Due column.
After sorting by the grouping column, you’re ready to start counting, as follows:
- Select any cell in the grouping column.
- Click the Data tab.
- Click Subtotal in the Outline group. In Excel 2003, Subtotals is on the Data menu.
- In the resulting dialog, choose Count from the Function dropdown.
- Click OK and Excel will display a subtotal for each date in the Due column.
The results are a bit unwieldy, but they’re quick. In addition, most users tend to use this feature with two columns—when column A changes, calculate column B. They don’t realize they can use this feature on a single column of data, as I’ve done. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Clumio plans to use its $135M Series C funding to expand its data protection scope.
The backup-as-a-service startup came out of stealth in August with protection for VMware on premises, VMware Cloud on AWS and native AWS services. Clumio this week disclosed its latest funding round. Clumio's Series A and B rounds raised $11M and $40M, respectively, so the latest $135M injection marks a substantial funding boost for the company. Sutter Hill Ventures and Altimeter Capital led the new funding round.
Clumio CEO Poojan Kumar said the data protection vendor will build out its services platform eventually to cover every data source, starting with Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS). The Amazon EBS support was rolled out in beta this week, and Clumio is working on support for Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform.
Clumio's Amazon EBS support is expected to become generally available before the end of 2019.
Clumio's mission statement is to do with backup what Salesforce has done with customer relationship management (CRM) by delivering backup as a service entirely through the cloud. All processes involved with backup such as deduplication, access management, encryption, backup scheduling and resource allotment would be handled through the service.
Kumar said as customers' infrastructures expand beyond their data centers, keeping their data protected has grown more complicated. Clumio is targeting customers who don't want to devote IT resources to keeping up with that complexity.
"Customers are saying, 'I want to stop the business of doing this myself,'" Kumar said.
Kumar said this is especially true with cloud-native data. He said customers have told him that data generated from a cloud application shouldn't then be replicated to a data center in order to back it up. He said most customers want to lower or remove their data center footprint.
Investor interest in backup
This has been a banner year for funding for backup vendors, with four vendors alone pulling in more than $1 billion. Veeam received $500 million and Rubrik pulled in $261M in January, and Druva rose $130M in June.
Christophe Bertrand, senior analyst at IT analysis firm Enterprise Strategy Group, said Clumio nearly tripled its previous funding, although it competes in a crowded backup market, because of its "born-in-the-cloud-ness." Cloud-native service offerings, subscription pricing and the lack of on-premises investment are all seen as the direction of where backup is currently headed, so investors are buying in now.
"Investors are looking at this as where the market is going," Bertrand said. "Winning Best of Show at VMworld probably helped, too."
Bertrand was quick to note that Clumio faces a tough competitive field, however. Druva and Carbonite -- now part of OpenText -- have provided cloud-based backup for years, and long-time backup vendor Commvault added its Metallic SaaS backup service in October. Most of the other large backup vendors can also protect data in the cloud.
Bertrand expects Clumio to invest in extending its geographical reach and bolstering its partner ecosystem. As for product development, he expects Clumio to support more applications, hypervisors besides VMware vSphere and even use cases beyond backup.
Kumar said the Clumio roadmap calls for adding features such as security, container support, customer access keys and bandwidth throttling. He said Clumio will also develop support for new workloads, expand its channel strategy and add to its engineering team.
"They have to do these things quickly to gain traction," Bertrand said. "It's going to become a very contested space." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

An aerospace and defense contractor in a public company might have between 400 and 500 software development projects that need to move from
The answer -- call in consultants -- might seem obvious and, perhaps, insufficient. But the team at Sodo, or Ship On Day One, isn't your average crew of talking heads. Co-founders Eric Schoonover and Robert Duffy designed a 15-point plan they say can help any organization, no matter how mired in legacy culture, with the thorny problem of how to start with DevOps. Duffy brings his experience from Amazon and Time to the table, while Schoonover comes from Microsoft, Netflix
Because both oversaw DevOps transformations at nontraditional tech companies like Time and the DOD, Duffy said their perspective is unique. In fact, he's quick to point out that he and his partner didn't even use the term "DevOps" during their respective time at Amazon and Netflix.
"It was just the way we did software engineering," he said.
How to start with DevOps? Small plans work best
It's not about the name, but how the process happens.
"Today, there is a disconnect between startups and older companies when it comes to software engineering," he said. "A lot of companies are still doing engineering delivery like 1800s manufacturing was done. It's a craft-based system, parsing work out to different teams. We want to help non-tech companies think about the cultural transformation. It's not just about moving to the cloud and installing Docker." To come up with a solid and repeatable plan for how to start with DevOps, Duffy and Schoonover met with 150 "high-performing" software development teams and wrote down their observations on sticky notes. They winnowed their notes down to 15 capabilities, each with four stages, Duffy said. The idea is not to overwhelm an organization, but to get clarity on what matters most and then move forward.
"We try to get to a small set of very actionable items that we helped select that justify the ROI calculations and case studies," Duffy said. "We help companies recognize the size of the problem and attack it in small identified chunks to gain credibility with the business."
DevOps as a continuum
Speaking to a senior engineering manager at a defense contractor who asked not to be named,
Rob DuffyCEO and co-founder, Ship On Day One
"We want to look at software development as a continuum. But at one spectrum, we have the low-hanging fruit that it's easy to see how to make changes to, and on the other spectrum we have custom hardware and software that is not low-hanging fruit," the manager explained. "We want to have the same kind of systems in place for both so that we can have CI and CD running. That's the area we're a little concerned about."
But so far, that "how to start with DevOps" process has worked, the senior engineering manager said, because the Sodo team doesn't just point out the issues, but works alongside the team to solve them.
"Our CTO has realized he can really get some quick wins -- with management -- using the terminology Sodo uses," he said. "Our developers can be finicky and judgmental, but they took to the Sodo team right away. They don't come in with the idea of knowing everything."
The Sodo team has already been asked several times, "Can you just deliver this project?" but Duffy stressed he and his partner are more interested in teaching companies how to start with DevOps. "Patience is important, but so is momentum," he explained. "Something shipped out the door is really what we preach." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Cloud technology is changing the identity governance and administration, also known as identity governance or identity security, market. By 2022, cloud-based identity security products will augment or replace 75% of existing software-delivered identity governance worldwide, according to Gartner.
In anticipation, learn more about this emerging platform's components, benefits and use cases, as well as what to look for in a cloud identity governance service.
What identity governance offers
To understand what identity governance does and how it can help their organizations, IT leaders should be aware of its two primary components:
- Identity governance policies and enforcement controls. These enable organizations to define identity and access management policies in numerous cloud environments and role assignments for end users and service accounts, as well as logging and access review auditing policies.
- Identity service administration tools. These administration tools and services can include federation and single sign-on tools to synchronize with existing identity stores. They can also facilitate provisioning into other service environments -- primarily in association with provisioning and deprovisioning tasks, as well as credential and account management. Additional capabilities may include device provisioning and access controls, management of entitlements, and reporting and monitoring dashboards.
How cloud identity governance advances business and security
Implementing cloud-based identity governance platforms can yield several benefits. First, they simplify processes and practices -- including access requests, password requests and resets, and user provisioning -- which can also reduce operational costs. In addition, they offer a wide array of APIs that organizations can use to integrate with cloud services and on-premises application and user workflows.
Second, cloud identity governance platforms are much easier to configure and start using, as no installation of hardware or complicated infrastructure is needed.
Finally, identity governance services can significantly improve security controls and processes related to authentication, authorization, provisioning and auditing -- and prove invaluable for regulatory audits and compliance reporting.
Identity governance and administration use cases
Organizations implement identity governance services to achieve numerous outcomes. Among the most prevalent use cases are the following:
- Develop and implement segregation of duties for cloud services and other applications.
- Perform access reviews, and monitor for cloud service users to ensure appropriate use of cloud services and detect signs of compromised accounts or other malicious behaviors based on patterns of access.
- Design and manage role assignments for business-specific requirements and services.
- Report on identity configuration and oversight for compliance and internal policy adherence.
- Integrate with on-premises directories and user entities with cloud-based application scenarios.
What to look for in an identity governance platform
To be a good fit in complex cloud environments, IT leaders should choose an identity governance platform that supports numerous cloud provider APIs and identity role and policy associations. Ideally, cloud identity services should also have connectivity capabilities that support unified management in both cloud and on-premises resources. Though some will offer on-premises gateways and appliances in addition to cloud-based services, many platforms will be situated exclusively in the cloud.
Identity governance platforms
There are several leading identity governance platforms available to implement in enterprise cloud environments. Some of the leading providers and product offerings include the following:
- Okta Workforce Identity
- SailPoint IdentityIQ and IdentityNow
- Ping Identity
- IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence
- Saviynt Identity Governance and Administration
- ForgeRock Identity Governance and Administration
- Oracle Identity Governance
- OneIdentity Identity Manager, Identity Manager Data Governance Edition, Starling Connect
Look for strong authentication and role-based access control capabilities, as well as detailed audit logging. Ideally, the audit logging can be exported to a central event management and monitoring platform. Deep capabilities in access management, provisioning, entitlements management and identity lifecycle management should be standard for any identity governance platform. A wide variety of reporting should also be available.
While not a requirement, some identity governance services have partnerships with leading cloud access security brokers and other security-specific services. This enables enterprises to implement a layered defense strategy for end users accessing cloud services, including strong identity-related controls, such as privilege management and threat detection.
Overall, the market for cloud identity governance offerings is likely to grow significantly as more organizations shift to cloud services implementation and on-premises identity management suites transition to cloud-based identity service models. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
CharlesSpencer reviews Hamlet at the Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon
By some extraordinary quirk in the space-time continuum, two of our most famous intergalactic travellers have simultaneously landed on Planet Hamlet.
Having seen off Davros and the Daleks, Doctor Who must now adopt the disguise of Denmark's sweet prince to do battle with Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise, who has metamorphosed into the evil King Claudius.
I'm sorry to sound flippant, but this production has become universally known as the Doctor Who Hamlet, with even the local fish and chip shop promising to "exterminate" its patrons' hunger.
And its sold-out success was largely dependent on David Tennant's presence in the title role, though theatrical connoisseurs will also know that Patrick Stewart has been enjoying a golden run of classical performances since he quit space travel.
Casting Tennant was a far from cynical ploy, however. He has already done the RSC some service, spending several seasons with the company as an exceptionally promising young actor whose roles included Romeo.
Nor should his performance as Doctor Who be mocked. Funny, clever and with sudden flashes of deep emotion, Tennant's time lord strikes me as a pretty good jumping off point for the most famous and challenging of all Shakespearean characters.
So how does he fare? Well, Tennant isn't in the pantheon of the great Hamlets yet. As a student prince, who swaps his formal suit of mourning for jeans and T-shirt in Gregory Doran's sometimes brutally cut production, he captures the character's intelligence, wit and quicksilver mood changes.
What's lacking, at present, is weight and depth. He delivers the great soliloquies with clarity, but he doesn't always discover their freight of emotion. In "To be or not to be" for instance, you never, as you undoubtedly did in Ben Whishaw's recent performance at the Old Vic, feel that this is a man wrestling with the possibility of suicide.
The "nunnery" scene when he suddenly turns on Ophelia lacks the required intensity and savagery, and at the end you don't feel that this is a Hamlet who has achieved a sense of spiritual illumination.
Tennant's prince seems merely resigned and wearily fatalistic, a reductive reading of a role that can offer a moving glimpse of grace, as the Christian imagery of the last act suggests.
There remains much to admire. It's hard not to warm to a Hamlet who makes you laugh, and Tennant discovers almost every ounce of sarky humour, especially when baiting Oliver Ford Davies's hilariously ponderous but poisonous Polonius and winding up the smarmy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
Tennant is at his best though when he dares with his emotions and lets rip. The closet scene with Gertrude, when he confronts his mother with her moral laxity, standing astride her on the "incestuous sheets" of her bed, has a thrilling raw power.
And there is a beautiful moment when the ghost of his father seems to hug him and Tennant delivers a little gasp of love and grief. As the run continues, Tennant should trust his feelings, dig deeper, expose more of himself.
I have no reservations at all about Stewart, who delivers the strongest, scariest performance as Claudius I have seen. A modern tyrant in a surveillance state full of spies, informers and two-way mirrors in Doran's thriller-like production, he presents a façade of smiling, bespectacled geniality.
It's so persuasive that it is easy to forget that he has murdered his brother to assume power. Yet there are sudden glimpses of steely danger - a moment when he creeps up on Gertrude for instance and you are not sure whether he is going to embrace or throttle her.
But Stewart also suggests a man terribly burdened with a guilt he knows he can never expunge and you almost feel sorry for the bastard. This is acting of the highest order with Stewart also doubling as a superb and terrifying Ghost.
Penny Downie harrowingly charts Gertrude's decline from high society lady to abject terror and exhausted, alcoholic remorse; Mariah Gale makes a deeply poignant Ophelia; while as Laertes, Edward Bennett transforms himself with aplomb from goofy Hooray Henry to fearsome assassin.
With fine support from Peter de Jersey as a touching Horatio and a genuinely funny gravedigger from Mark Hadfield, this is a gripping Hamlet that could become great if Tennant finds the courage to raise the dramatic stakes still further. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Tester speaks on defense bill, Orlando shooting and VA service
The Western News
At 10 a.m. Wednesday, Senator Jon Tester talked to the press about the Orlando shooting, the National Defense Authorization Act, and endorsement possibilities. Tester voted to approve the annual NDAA bill, which the Senate passed.
The senator began by addressing the Orlando shooting that took place Sunday morning. He condemned the incident, calling it a “horrific and senseless act of violence and terror.” He said that the United States needs to “put an end to violence and hatred” by passing “legislation that keeps guns out of the hands of terrorists,” securing our borders and “reforming our security clearance process.” He also criticized congress for continuing its partisan gridlock.
Tester said that he supported the 2016 NDAA bill because it provides funding for “Montana’s critical ICBM mission and gives the Airmen at Malmstrom the resources.” The bill also supports retired veterans as well as active troops.
“The last thing our troops should have to worry about is putting food on the table for their families at home,” he said.
Later in the day, Tester took the Senate floor to demand his bill, the Veterans’ First Act, which would allow the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs flexibility to work with non-VA community providers, as well as expands the mental health service and timely VA vaccinations for veterans. The Veterans’ First Act would also allow veterans to access care outside of the VA, if the next available appointment is over 30 days, or if the veteran lives more than 40 miles from a VA clinic.
When asked about how the NDAA would postpone the closing of Guantanamo Bay, and how his approval of this bill conflicts with his earlier statements that closing Guantanamo would “protect American values and our National security,” Tester said, “No bill is perfect.”
Another part of the NDAA bill that Tester disagreed with was how the bill would require women in the selective service to sign up for the draft. Tester said that, “nobody likes a draft,” but also went on to say that a draft is highly unlikely.
On Wednesday’s conference call, Tester opened the discussion to other topics, like the Orlando shooting and the presidential election. In a press statement released before the call, Tester said more needs to get done, rather than said, in the wake of violence.
“After attacks like Orlando we hear folks say never again, but we heard that after San Bernandino. We heard that after Sandy Hook. And we heard that after Aurora,” Tester said in a prepared statement.
When asked about Trump’s anti-Islamic comments regarding the shooting, Tester said in the conference call that it was “inappropriate and dangerous using the Orlando shooting as a reason for political gain,” and said that during 9/11, people came together while with the Orlando shooting, “we see intolerance.”
Regarding endorsements, Tester said that he will make an endorsement sometime this week, and that he needs to speak with both Bernie and Hillary first. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tester to FDA commissioner: What’s taking so long on generic drug approvals?
It takes the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 47 months to approve a generic drug, and Sen. Jon Tester wants to know why.
Tester this week asked FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb if his agency’s budget is seeking the resources needed to address the standing backlog of generic drugs – a backlog Tester says is causing financial strain on thousands of Montanans.
“Montanans shouldn’t have to choose between buying their medications and buying dinner for their kids,” said Tester, a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee. “Folks shouldn’t have to empty their pockets for medicine. It’s that simple.”
Tester said that in 2016, nearly 4,000 generic drugs were awaiting approval, though it currently takes the FDA around 47 months, on average, to approve a generic drug.
Tester is asking Gottlieb how he plans to address that delay.
“I’ve held health care listening sessions across Montana and I’ll tell you, the number one thing I hear is that life-saving drugs are too expensive,” Tester said this week. “It’s your job to ease this burden and it’s my job to hold you accountable.”
In recent years, Tester has targeted the nation’s prescription drug prices, sometimes calling out specific companies for questionable price increases. That included Mylan, which raised the price of its EpiPen while moving its tax address to the Netherlands to avoid paying taxes.
Tester also introduced a bill last July to force prescription drug companies to publicly disclose detailed information about price increases on any prescription drug. Pharmaceutical companies are currently not required to release any information to the public after excessively raising the price of a drug, Tester said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The best & the most authentic Indian food in Guangzhou. Ambience, location (near by canton fair/canton tower). Must try the South Indian dishes.

I recently had the chance to try out Charlie's Panyu Bar and Grill, and while the food was OK, I couldn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked. The biggest issue I had with the restaurant was the fact that smoking was allowed in the small dining and bar area while my family members were eating. As a non-smoker, it was incredibly frustrating to have to inhale second-hand smoke while trying to enjoy my meal. Despite this, the food at Charlie's Panyu did not seem to match the ratings. I tried their burger and fries, which were both cold and it tasted a little like burger king. The burger was too salty and a bit over-seasoned for my taste, and the fries were cold, as if our meals had been lying around. I did, however, appreciate the fact that the portion sizes were decent, considering the price of the meals. However, the smoking situation really put a damper on the overall dining experience. It was difficult to fully enjoy the food and atmosphere when my family and I were constantl

Now this is how you market Inherent Vice. Since the first trailer, I’ve been saying that there was just something missing from Inherent Vice‘s rollout that made it feel somehow hollow and just not all that interesting. But packaging it like an actual film from the 70’s, complete with a top notch grindhouse narrator? This is my jam, people. It’ll make you buy into all the mad hash they’re slingin’.

As I was doing some research recently, I bumped into a very interesting video on the International Monetary Fund’s Facebook page. This video was a short skit, by a gentleman who was acting as a migrant sending money back to support his brother in his home country.
This video was basically highlighting the impact of the huge remittances that migrant workers from lower and middle-income countries and the big role the money they send plays in those countries. In 2022 alone, IMF states that migrant workers sent $647 billion back home, money that helps in investment, entrepreneurship and savings.
This short skit that breaks down to the layman tough economic statistics, among other interesting clips on IMF’s page, shows how the media, both digital and traditional, among other related institutions, serve as a powerful tool towards driving the different agenda in creating visibility of reports on human development and other related reports.
There is a lot of consistency and similarity in length and detail in policy reports of matters human development. I am talking about World Happiness Report, Least Developed Countries Report, World Bank Report, World Trade Report, among many others.
The documents all point towards some sort of commitment by a group, organisation, foundation or intergovernmental agency, and they come after some kind of declaration from a meeting or conference of global scale.
These ideas are built on mutual understanding among different stakeholders and concerned parties, all informing us of some kind of risk or crises, and must be broken down in an easy to understand manner, not just for policymakers and those in academia, but for the ordinary people.
According to the Organisation for Economic and Cooperative Development’s report on Humanitarian Development Coherence, most reports show that humanitarian issues continue to grow as the number of people affected by issues, such as natural disasters, hunger, crime and poverty, among other issues, in humanitarian development continue to increase.
Shortened, well explained, using the right and current medium, then people world over will understand, for instance, the impact of climate change, hunger and poverty, among others.
Let there be skits, by relevant influencers, to have people understand these technical explanations that would otherwise be tough to understand. This may prompt faster action by ordinary citizens and those called to serve from top echelons of power to the grassroots level.
One thing about these reports is that they are very important for decisions to be made worldwide, for priority to be taken into consideration by the funding organisations or different governments.
However, these groups need to have ways of accessing contents of reports in easy ways, through shortened written versions or shortened video clips in the languages that they understand .
Donors and governments definitely have to make quick, but well informed decisions on what should be funded and what should not.
Most of these reports also show quantifiable results and impact of helping to mitigate the issues around the world. These efforts aim to reduce humankind's vulnerabilities and risks and ultimately making people in need more resilient. From these quantifiable results there is significant evidence that the organisations behind these reports have monitoring and evaluation tools.
Just like many in other fields have done in the past, summarising all these quantifiable results through making, for instance, an IMF like skit, or regional short Netflix documentaries, in my view, would be better for audiences to consume than wonderful but long reports, whose website you have to have known before hand.
The media serves as an instrument to inform, educate and communicate and, ultimately, raise awareness, impart knowledge, change attitude and change the behaviour of different populations based on the call to action that these reports have.

HOW TO ACCEPT JESUS INTO YOUR HEART
So, how do you accept Jesus into your heart? What does that mean?
Welcome to Sunday Bible Study Basics where we provide weekly Bible study tips to help you dive deeper in your faith.
Accepting Jesus into your heart is simply accepting his way of living, loving, and leading our lives. When Jesus came to earth we believe that he was God in the flesh. 100% God and 100% man at the same time. He came and taught about the Kingdom of Heaven and showed everyone around him a new type of perspective that they weren’t used to. A new heart. This new way of thinking was the motivation behind everything that Jesus did. And as believers we are invited to live the same way.
And so when we talk about accepting Jesus, that means that we are being saved from being trapped in sin, which results in eternal punishment. And it’s that faith in Jesus that saves us by his grace. He died and rose again just to pay the price for our sins. Salvation doesn’t come from our good deeds or by doing anything special, it’s a free gift from God just because He loves us so much. We need to turn away from our sins, believe that Jesus is God’s Son and our Savior, and submit to Him as Lord of our lives. By doing so, we receive salvation and eternal life.
So if you haven’t taken that next step on your faith journey, to begin a personal relationship with God where you will be saved from the consequences of your sins, I’d love to invite you to repeat this prayer with me.
“Jesus, I believe that you are the Son of God and Savior of the world. I believe that you died for my sins and rose from the dead. I believe that through your sacrifice, I am a new person. Forgive me for my sin and fill me with your Spirit. Today, I choose to follow you for the rest of my life as Lord of my life. Amen.”
How awesome is that! Now what are the next steps?
First, tell another Christian that you accepted Jesus in your life. It’s something to celebrate!
Second, find a local church community to get plugged into. Doing life together is what will help you grow.
Third, try to read the Bible and spend time in prayer for at least 10-15 minutes every day. If you don’t have a Bible, you can buy one at the store or online or use the YouVersion Bible app. If you don’t know what translation to use, if you want it closer to the original language I’d suggest ESV, if you want it a little more modern I’d suggest NLT. So, 10-15 minutes a day of prayer and reading.
And finally, get baptized. Check out the next time your church is offering baptisms. It’s a biblical thing to do. Basically an outward expression of an inward decision.
So that’s what it means to accept Jesus into your heart and the next steps to take once you do.

The Conservatives’ plan to ensure they retain power indefinitely is under threat. In order to be successful, the plan depends on the Conservative government succeeding in redrawing constituency boundaries. But the party’s own MPs now look set to fight against these boundary changes to save their own skins.
Making the 2020 election count for the Tories
A boundary review was promised by the Conservative government two days after winning the 2015 general election. It is billed as a cost-cutting exercise, and was formally launched in February of this year. Its stated aim is to reduce the number of constituencies, and therefore MPs, from 650 to 600 – by equalising the number of voters in each area. The new arrangement will be put before parliament for approval in 2018.
The government’s suspected motive for the changes is to increase the number of Conservative constituencies, so it can try to garner a stronger majority in parliament in the 2020 general election. According to research by Conservative peer Robert Hayward, the changes may affect 200 Labour Party seats. He says Labour may lose 30 seats completely.
Ruin Labour by all means, but don’t come after us
But the review would also affect some Conservative seats. And Tory MPs are now starting to speak out against the changes.
In the Commons, Conservative MPs seized on the lack of any reform in the House of Lords to challenge the plans. Broxbourne MP Charles Walker, who chairs the Procedures Committee, said:
It seems perverse to reduce the number of elected representatives in this place while the Lords continues to gorge itself on new arrivals.
Mr Speaker, I believe in an appointed upper House but not at the current price and not at the expense of this elected and therefore accountable chamber.
We in this place must guard against bringing this country’s democratic settlement into disrepute.
We also have the situation whereby the Government are proposing to reduce the number of MPs by 50 but not reduce the number of ministers by an equal proportion, thereby giving the Government more control over the House of Commons, which clearly has to be an outrage.
Commons Speaker John Bercow agreed with Davis’ comment that the number of government ministers should be reduced if the boundary changes go ahead.
Laying down barriers to the boundary review
These demands, reducing the number of Lords and government ministers, are not likely to be met easily. Reforming the House of Lords has always been a hot topic, but any real action to tackle it has often fallen flat. The 2010 Coalition government vowed to reform the Lords, by making it an elected house, but plans were scuppered by Tory MPs.
Furthermore, even if these conditions could be met, the process would be lengthy. Theresa May’s government would struggle to ensure it can commit to these changes before the parliamentary vote on the boundary review in 2018.
Now that Conservative MPs are speaking out against the government’s proposals, it is looking increasingly unlikely that the boundary review will be implemented any time soon. Ensuring these demands are met, and constituencies redrawn, by the 2020 general election would be no small feat.
A failure to do so would certainly please Labour MPs facing the electoral chop or reselection. As it would the Conservative MPs facing the same fate.

Cleveland-Marshall College of Law has initiated a discussion about changing its name amid growing concerns that Chief Justice John Marshall aggressively supported slavery.
Lee Fisher, dean of the college, has asked students, faculty, staff and alumni of the law school to provide feedback on the issue.
The brief survey asked respondents: “Please explain why you believe we should keep or change the name of our law school” and “If you believe we should change our name, what name would you suggest?”
“Removing ‘Marshall’ from our Law School’s name would be a very consequential decision … that requires careful study and thoughtful consideration of different viewpoints,” Fisher said in an email to The College Fix.
According to Richard Brookhiser, a Marshall historian and senior editor for National Review, John Marshall served as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court for 34 years, “still a record,” and he “ruled on myriad subjects of ongoing relevance–contracts, commerce, treason, how to interpret the Constitution itself.”
“Marshall wrote (Fletcher v. Peck) that the past cannot be altered by the most absolute power,” he said in an email to The College Fix. “Taking his name off Cleveland-Marshall College of Law will not punish or benefit the dead, though it may diminish our incentive to understand them, and their effects on us.”
Hanna Kassis, a lawyer and founder of marketing firm OAREX, started a petition titled “Rename John Marshall Institutions” arguing that Marshall’s legacy violates the “ethos” of society and perpetuates “systemic racism.”
“Marshall’s opinions upheld slavery, denied many freedom, and supported the slave trade,” the petition stated.
In the wake of such sentiments, Marshall’s name was removed from John Marshall Law School in Chicago last May.
“Despite Chief Justice Marshall’s legacy as one of the nation’s most significant U.S. Supreme Court justices, the newly discovered research regarding his role as a slave trader, slave owner of hundreds of slaves, pro-slavery jurisprudence, and racist views render him a highly inappropriate namesake for the Law School,” the school explained.
In a critique of that decision, an editorial in The Wall Street Journal at the time argued the decision represented “the go-to progressive indictment of American historical figures. Never mind that Marshall’s muscular jurisprudence as Chief Justice from 1801 to 1835 forged a national government and economy powerful enough to finally smash slavery a generation after his death.”
Joel Richard Paul, professor of law at the University of California Hastings Law School and author of “Without Precedent: How John Marshall Invented American Diplomacy,” said the debate considering Marshall’s actions should be done within its historical context.
“Marshall opposed slavery as a Virginia legislator, an attorney, and a Supreme Court justice. He took on cases on behalf of slaves against their owners pro bono,” Paul said in an email to The Fix.
He said Marshall offered medical care to “at least one” slave and refused to break families apart through sale.
Marshall’s influence in the courtroom assured that slavery was constrained as much as possible, he said; even while siding with the supermajority when necessary, “Marshall joined the majority so that he could then draft exceptionally narrow technical decisions that avoided any implication that slavery was protected by the Constitution.”
“You need only read what southerners said about Marshall during his lifetime to appreciate the fact that Marshall went as far as any Virginian could to oppose slavery.”
“We should acknowledge the stain [of slavery] on our history, and we should remember the cost in human lives. I do not believe that erasing our history serves us well or serves the memory of those who were enslaved,” Paul said.
“We remember Marshall not for the evil of his slaveholding, but for his genius in breathing life into the Constitution so that it could become a dynamic force for progress in our society.”

The National Ground Water Research and Educational Foundation (NGWREF) is seeking applications for the Emerging Leaders Alliance Conference taking place November 8-11, in Reston, Va.
NGWREF is offering young professionals the opportunity to apply to receive free registration valued at $1,500. Applications are being accepted now through until June 30.
The Emerging Leaders Alliance was formed in 2008 as a cooperative project of organizations, including NGWREF. It seeks to foster leadership in the engineering and scientific community. NGWREF believes strong leadership is one of the keys to fulfilling its mission to “enhance the future effectiveness of groundwater professions and to maximize the impact of groundwater for society.”
“In so many industries, including the groundwater industry, individuals go to school and learn their industry through experience.” said Rachel Geddes, NGWREF administrator. “When you reach a certain level of competence, you are asked to manage and no one has trained you for that. This conference is about teaching those who haven’t gone to business school how to lead the people in their company and industry.”
Those who would benefit from the conference include groundwater industry professionals in management or technical leadership, government agency personnel and university personnel with six or more years of experience.
The NGWREF, founded in 1994, is the charitable arm of the National Ground Water Association. It is focused on conducting educational, research and other activities that promote a broader understanding of groundwater use and access. NGWA is a nonprofit that supports responsible development, management and use of water resources. It’s comprised of groundwater professionals ranging from contractors to equipment manufacturers to scientists and engineers. For more information, visit www.ngwa.org.

FIS has this week launched a new Sustainability Toolkit to help the sector to take a pro-active lead as a supply chain in supporting the UK ambition and meeting legal requirements linked to UK Net Zero carbon commitments, but also to look more broadly at the ethical and environmental aspects of sustainability.
In June 2019, the UK became the first major economy in the world to pass laws to end its contribution to global warming by 2050. With the The (Conference of the Parties) COP26 Summit taking place in the UK in November 2021, this year has been designated “The UK’s year or Climate Action”. With Construction accounting for 40% of UK Carbon Consumption, the construction industry is critical to supporting this commitment. In turn the Finishes and Interiors Sector representing around 11% of UK Construction and decisions and processes associated with the fit-out and finishing of buildings is estimated to account for 40% of energy in a building and hence has a big part to play in realising change. A recent manifesto published by Perkins & Will sets down a clear strategy to moving to zero carbon and identifies that the built environment is responsible for 40% of the UK’s total carbon footprint and within this fit-out is responsible for 40% of energy in a building. A key figure to target improvement identified in this report is that 300 tonnes of fit-out material goes to landfill every day.
The Sustainability Toolkit is the first output of a new Sustainability Working Group (which is being developed in partnership with the Supply Chain Sustainability School) has been established within the FIS community to help inform activity and provide a platform to encourage collaboration through the FIS and with wider industry initiatives. The plan is to use this group of experts to set down a clear action plan for the sector and highlight key strategic relationships that can be developed through the FIS to support transformation. Initially focus is in 5 core areas:
- Increasing knowledge and understanding within the supply chain
- Setting targets and standardisation (including monitoring and measuring impact)
- Providing an active network and encouraging collaboration
- Highlighting individuals and approaches that help inspire and inform change
- Informing design and encouraging better asset management
FIS Chief Executive Iain McIlwee stated:
“Whilst many have not been hit by the full force of the Net Zero tidal wave that seems to be heading our way, it is absolutely dominating discussions around the transformation of construction. When you step back and look at the principles of sustainability, they sit very closely to everything FIS stands for. Beyond the obvious environmental considerations, the ingredients of change are value led change, resource efficiency, innovation and harnessing technology, productivity, quality, collaboration and ultimately early engagement and dialogue up and down the supply chain. We are really grateful to the members who have got stuck in to date and look forward to exploring the full potential of the race to Net Zero and a focus on fairness and inclusivity that will be a key to transforming our supply chain for the better”.
If you are interested in joining the working group or simply seeing the draft action plan email firstname.lastname@example.org or call FIS on 0121 707 0077
Next meeting of the FIS Sustainability Working Group is set for 3pm on the 27th May – the meeting will be virtual. If interested in attending, email email@example.com | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I have been getting so many inquiries and I want to clear up a few things.
I am a kinky provider, alpha and dominant leaning. I offer a variety of services that are listed as plainly as I can list them on my site. Due to obvious reasons, you will in some cases, have to read between the lines. I offer companionship and domination. I also offer a mix of the two together. My motivation is playful mischief rather than total sadism, though I am a bit of a sadist at times. I am also a switch and will switch, over time, for those I have seen a few times and trust.
I also love witchcraft, sex magic and the sensual side.
If you are coming to me because you have a fetish and I don’t fit into your fetish of what a dominant witch should be doing, you are not submissive, sir, you have a fetish. While I do entertain fetishes and often enjoy exploring others’ kinky sides, I am not interested in being dictated to in an order to accommodate your every capricious need. If you have read my site, then you know that I am also here to teach cishet men how to practice consent and behave. I am more challenging than a softer GFE but just as wet.
I am soft.
I am also edgy.
I am assertive.
I am able to set boundaries.
I enjoy men who listen.

The European football body, UEFA, has revealed plans to change the format of Women’s Champions League as from the 2025-26 season.
UEFA Executive Committee approved the changes at its Executive Committee meeting in Hamburg on Saturday ahead of the group stage draw for next summer’s European Championships.
The committee said it will move the competition closer to the new format planned for the men’s Champions League.
From next season, the men’s Champions League will do away with the traditional eight groups of four and replace them with one 36-team league, where teams play four matches at home and four away in a seeded system before moving into the knockout phase.
According to the organisers, the new Champions League format for Women will consist of an 18-team league phase with three home and three away matches followed by knockout rounds.
UEFA also said further details on the new format will be issued on Monday, December 4, 2023.
Barcelona are the current Champions League holders after they edged Wolfsburg 3-2 in a thrilling final at the end of last season. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The press has failed in a High Court challenge against the proposed royal charter for press regulation.
Newspaper and magazine publishers applied for an injunction earlier today, arguing that the Privy Council had not considered the industry’s own charter fairly.
Media pressure group Hacked Off expressed its delight that the challenge has failed and that the royal charter can now go ahead.
Brian Cathcart, of Hacked Off, said: ‘The big newspaper companies like the Murdoch press and the Mail have been in denial ever since the Leveson inquiry report condemned the way they treated ordinary people and told them to change.
‘The royal charter is good for journalism, good for freedom of speech and – vitally – good for the public.’
Newspaper and magazine publishers have now announced that they will appeal against the decision of the High Court.
The debate follows the phone-hacking scandal that saw the News of the World shutdown, and the subsequent Leveson inquiry.
Newspaper Society, Newspaper Publishers Association, Scottish Newspaper Society and Professional Publishers Association said in a joint statement: ‘The Statement of Facts and Grounds lodged with the High Court today contends that the decision by the Privy Council Committee was wholly unfair, irrational and unlawful.
‘The possible involvement of the state in the regulation of the press raised very seriously constitutional issues.’
The Industries own proposal – the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) – would require industry-wide approval.
The Times’ executive editor Roger Alton told the BBC’s Today programme that IPSO would be an ‘extremely tough’ regulator.
Some in the press have argued that any government regulation would suppress media freedom.
A spokesman for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport said: ‘The industry royal charter was considered in an entirely proper and fair way.
‘The government is working to bring in a system of press self-regulation that will protect press freedom while offering real redress when mistakes are made.’
Media commentator Steve Hewlett told the BBC’s Today programme that the press are trying to delay the charter as long as possible: ‘The whole point is if they can induce enough delay they hope that when IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation) – their self-regulator – is up and running, as time goes by the political pressure for further reform as we approach an election in 2015 will begin to evaporate.’ | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The closing is the formal transfer of a business. It usually also represents the successful culmination of many months of hard work, extensive negotiations, lots of give and take, and ultimately a satisfactory meeting of the minds. The document governing the closing is the Purchase and Sale Agreement. It generally covers the following:
• A description of the transaction – Is it a stock or asset sale?
• Terms of the agreement – This covers the price and terms and how it is to be paid. It should also include the status of any management that will remain with the business.
• Representations and Warranties – These are usually negotiated after the Letter of Intent is agreed upon. Both buyer and seller want protection from any misrepresentations. The warranties provide assurances that everything is as represented.
• Conditions and Covenants – These include non-competes and agreements to do or not to do certain things.
There are four key steps that must be undertaken before the sale of a business can close:
1. The seller must show satisfactory evidence that he or she has the legal right to act on behalf of the selling company and the legal authority to sell the business.
2. The buyer’s representatives must have completed the due diligence process, and claims and representations made by the seller must have been substantiated.
3. The necessary financing must have been secured, and the proper paperwork and appropriate liens must be in place so funds can be released.
4. All representations and warranties must be in place, with remedies made available to the buyer in case of seller’s breech.
There are two major elements of the closing that take place simultaneously:
• Corporate Closing: The actual transfer of the corporate stock or assets based on the provisions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Stockholder approvals are in, litigation and environmental issues satisfied, representations and warranties signed, leases transferred, employee and board member resignations, etc. completed, and necessary covenants and conditions performed. In other words, all of the paperwork outlined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement has been completed.
• Financial Closing: The paperwork and legal documentation necessary to provide funding has been executed. Once all of the conditions of funding have been met, titles and assets are transferred to the purchaser, and the funds delivered to the seller.
It is best if a pre-closing is held a week or so prior to the actual closing. Documents can be reviewed and agreed upon, loose ends tied up, and any open matters closed. By doing a pre-closing, the actual closing becomes a mere formality, rather than requiring more negotiation and discussion.
The closing is not a time to cut costs – or corners. Since mistakes can be very expensive, both sides require expert advice. Hopefully, both sides are in complete agreement and any disagreements were resolved at the pre-closing meeting. A closing should be a time for celebration! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Leases should never be overlooked when it comes to buying or selling a business. After all, where your business is located and how long you can stay at that location plays a key role in the overall health of your business. It is easy to get lost with “larger” issues when buying or selling a business. But in terms of stability, few factors rank as high as that of a lease. Let’s explore some of the key facts you’ll want to keep in mind where leases are concerned.
The Different Kinds of Leases
In general, there are three different kinds of leases: sub-lease, new lease and the assignment of the lease. These leases clearly differ from one another, and each will impact a business in different ways.
A sub-lease is a lease within a lease. If you have a sub-lease then another party holds the original lease. It is very important to remember that in this situation the seller is the landlord. In general, sub-leasing will require that permission is granted by the original landlord. With a new lease, a lease has expired and the buyer must obtain a new lease from the landlord. Buyers will want to be certain that they have a lease in place before buying a new business otherwise they may have to relocate the business if the landlord refuses to offer a new lease.
The third lease option is the assignment of lease. Assignment of lease is the most common type of lease when it comes to selling a business. Under the assignment of lease, the buyer is granted the use of the location where the business is currently operating. In short, the seller assigns to the buyer the rights of the lease. It is important to note that the seller does not act as the landlord in this situation.
Understand All Lease Issues to Avoid Surprises
Early on in the buying process, buyers should work to understand all aspects of a business’s lease. No one wants an unwelcomed surprise when buying a business, for example, discovering that a business must be relocated due to lease issues.
Summed up, don’t ignore the critical importance of a business’s leasing situation. Whether you are buying or selling a business, it is in your best interest to clearly understand your lease situation. Buyers want stable leases with clearly defined rules and so do sellers, as sellers can use a stable leasing agreement as a strong sales tool. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If you haven’t been to Detroit in the past few years, we’ve got something to ask you: Why not? Whether you’re into local artisans like luxury goods producer Shinola or you’re looking for a burgeoning food and drink scene, what used to be known almost exclusively for the automotive industry has been reborn into so much more.
For the purposes of this article, we’re going to be looking at the drink scene portion of what we just mentioned, because, as we’ve found out, sitting at a bar and talking to friends (or strangers!) often opens up avenues of conversation and adventure that have, up until that point, remained unexplored. And what more fun is there than exploring a new city for the first time with insider tips and tricks.
To get the inside scoop on the best places to drink when visiting the Motor City, we sat down with someone who definitely knows his stuff. Nick Britsky, creator of the website, Nick Drinks, and host of the local television show, Nick Drinks at Night, is a lifetime Detroiter. Not only does he have day-to-day life experience, but he’s intimately aware of all of the goings on of the drink scene thanks to his show. Because of that, we asked him for his picks for a number of different drinking situations.
When you’re looking for a dive bar:
“The Old Miami. In the summer they grill and in the winter they drink. They also drink in the summer, too.”
When you’re looking for craft beer:
“We have so much beer in the area it is constantly changing. I am always impressed by the products produced at Batch Brewing Company. They are somewhere between nano and micro-sized and take many smart chances with their products.”
When you’re in the industry and want to meet other industry folks:
“The Keep is always comfy and cozy. Part dive/part craft/part industry. All my favorite parts.”
When you’re looking for wine:
“I’m a huge fan of The Royce. They have a giant selection, tasty nibbles, and never make you feel dumb. Wine is so intimidating and they make it easy. Plus, they are a bottle shop.”
When you’re looking for the best cocktails:
“Nick Drinks at Night is actually doing an awards show in December. But for now, I’ll send you to Sugar House, Standby, The Oakland, and Grey Ghost. The godfathers of the cocktail scene started those places and they are the cutting-edge and the places to get superior drinks.”
When you want to keep drinking late into the night:
“I’m old … I’d probably home. For the young folks, check out Deluxx Fluxx. Creative space, accessible cocktails, and great music.”
When you’re looking for a good first date place:
“Three contenders; Candy Bar, Wright & Company, and Willis Show Bar. Candy Bar is incredibly intimate and impressive, plus the drinks are outstanding. On the other hand, Wright & Co. starts with a fancy elevator ride and opens up to a spectacular, bright bar with equally noteworthy cocktails. Third, Willis Show Bar. This could actually be the whole date as they bring in solid acts and feature bartender extraordinaire David Martinez, aka the 2018 Greater Detroit USBG President.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
While your pool water will change all year, the summer months in Atlanta—when temperatures are at their highest—are when your water is most susceptible to becoming dirty due to a buildup of algae. This is when our customers are most likely to request our pool cleaning services. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have a few pool cleaning tips up your sleeve, too!
Let’s face it; no one likes swimming in a green pool. So why deal with the headaches brought on by algae in your swimming pool this year when you can easily avoid it altogether? How? First, you need to figure out why algae are present in the first place. Once you’ve figured that out, you can change whatever you’re doing (or not doing) that is causing a green pool.
Adjusting How You Add Chlorine
Unless you’re a swimming pool cleaning professional—like our technicians at The Pool Butler—then you’re likely unaware of the effect sunlight can have on chlorine.
When exposed to the sun over time, chlorine tends to break down, which can substantially decrease its effectiveness at ridding your pool of algae and other bacteria. It is crucial to add an adequate amount of chlorine to your pool regularly.
However, you should use caution when doing so, as too much chlorine can lead to chemical burns and other skin ailments. Instead of risking chlorine problems, it’s a great idea to contact a pool services company in Atlanta to adjust your chemicals for you to ensure safety.
One way to reduce the speed at which your chlorine breaks down is to use a solar blanket when your pool is not in use. Similar to a visor you might place in your car’s windshield, a solar blanket blocks out the sun from your pool water. With less direct sun, the chlorine in your pool will last longer, saving you time and money.
Avoid Using the Wrong Products
One trap many pool owners fall into when fighting an algae buildup is attempting to clean their pools using the wrong products.
For example, some pool owners may feel inclined to buy shock for their swimming pools when chlorine levels get low. Unfortunately, while this may kill the algae, the algae still need to be removed correctly to clean the pool and prevent future growth. You can learn more about shocking your pool to kill algae here.
Testing Your Swimming Pool For Phosphates
While phosphates are always present in your pool water, when levels get too high, it can be next to impossible to keep your pool clear. Phosphates are food for algae, and where there is food, algae are not far behind.
It’s a smart idea to have your pool inspected for irregular phosphate levels by a swimming pool service company. A professional will have the proper tools to test your water and can correct the issue to keep your pool water crystal clear.
When In Doubt, Call The Pool Butler
If you’ve been having a problem keeping your swimming pool’s water clear this summer, then it’s time to contact The Pool Butler. Our expert technicians have seen it all. They have the knowledge and experience necessary to keep your pool looking and functioning its best.

Republican Congressman George Santos is in danger of being expelled from his New York House seat.
This would be a very rare result, as only 20 members of Congress in all of American history, 15 in the Senate and 5 in the House of Representatives, have been voted out by two thirds of their colleagues.
All but three were expelled due to their support of the Confederacy in the Civil War.
A few who have been threatened with explusion have resigned instead.
The proper thing would be for Santos to resign, but it looks as if he is not about to do so, despite having brought disgrace on the House of Representatives.

Eastspring Investments, the $220 billion Asian asset management business of Prudential, has deployed SimCorp Coric to enhance its client reporting capabilities.
The pair signed a license agreement in 2019 confirming that Eastspring Investments would integrate the Coric solution to deliver an enhanced reporting platform for the business.
The platform will be used by Eastspring Investments to automate the production of client reports with granular data to minimise the amount of coordination and manual intervention required across its business.
SimCorp said its Coric solution remedies challenges faced by businesses around the delivery of timely and accurate reporting caused by newly remote working conditions and increased market volatility during the pandemic.
“As the Asian asset management industry continues its rapid growth, the competition to win and retain clients is becoming increasingly fierce. Clients now want a greater volume of investment data and consistent reporting on-demand,” said Oliver Johnson, senior vice president and managing director for SimCorp Asia-Pacific.
“Being able to deliver this is not only a core requirement but delivers a superior client experience that can make a real difference.”
SimCorp has been continuously improving its multi-asset front-to-back investment management platform throughout the last 12 months, launching a buy-side data service, Datacare, and a buy-side Dimension platform as part of its ongoing cloud strategy.
Its enhancements have attracted new business from several major institutions, including Mawer Investment Management in September last year, who on-boarded SimCorp’s platform to help streamline the Canadian investment firm’s workflows. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
What’s better than mimosas and afternoon baseball?! That’s a combination that is hard to beat. But in order to enjoy this combo, you need the proper ingredients and a drink recipe!
The ingredients are:
- 1 bottle of chilled champagne or sparkling wine
- 2 cups of chilled orange juice
- Fresh orange slices, for garnish (optional)
Here’s a take on a classic mimosa:
- Pour the orange juice into a large pitcher or carafe.
- Slowly pour in the champagne or sparkling wine, stirring gently to combine.
- Pour the Mimosa mixture into champagne flutes, filling each glass about halfway.
- Garnish with a slice of fresh orange, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Of course, you can always adjust the ratio of champagne to orange juice to suit your own personal tastes, or depending on how the game is going!
This is the perfect drink to have while watching weekend baseball on the afternoon. One of the beauties of baseball is that as the season goes along, the weather gets nicer! The heart of the season is during the summer. The summer is the perfect time to watch your favorite team outside while you sip on a mimosa!
There are also several variations to the classic mimosas. These include, but are not limited to:
- Pineapple Mimosa: Instead of using orange juice, try using pineapple juice for a tropical twist.
- Grapefruit Mimosa: Substitute grapefruit juice for orange juice to add a tangy, slightly bitter flavor to your Mimosa.
- Pomegranate Mimosa: Mix pomegranate juice with orange juice for a tart, colorful twist on the classic Mimosa.
- Mojito Mimosa: Add a splash of lime juice and a few sprigs of fresh mint to your Mimosa for a refreshing, summery twist.
The only limitations here is your imagination! The possibilities are truly endless. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Look closely at plant surfaces. Perhaps you notice the bluish-white residue covering cereal stems, the soft hairs on peaches or the little pores scattered across most plant leaves? We now know these are exquisite adaptations of the land plant outer epidermis to protect and extract resources from the hostile aerial environment. Most critically, the outer epidermal cells seal their external surface with an impermeable, water-proofing cuticle, channeling gas exchange instead through carefully spaced and adjustable pores called stomata. Further epidermal elaborations, such as cuticular crystals, defensive and water-trapping hairs and mineral depositions, helped plants colonize diverse terrestrial niches. Accordingly, mobilizing epidermal variation in crops could stabilize and improve yield under changing climates: for example, more impermeable cuticles coupled with faster, fewer stomata providing benefits in warmer, drier extremes.
In my seminar, I will describe our recent discovery of a genetic network in barley controlling multiple epidermal specialisations, including cuticle deposition and stomatal patterning. I will also introduce a major new project on epidermal features which evaluates mechanistic connections, conservation in wheat and impacts on crop performance. In addition, I will summarise our recent findings on regulatory pathways controlling barley grain development. All our work is anchored by exploitation and generation of enabling technologies for barley, many of which were developed at the James Hutton Institute, where my lab is located and the site of a newly opened Crop Innovation Centre and headquarters of the international Barley Hub (https://barleyhub.org). Altogether, our research delivers significant advances in understanding and controlling traits important for resiliency and yield.
Dr Sarah McKim is a Principal Investigator and Reader in the Division of Plant Sciences within the School of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee. Her research focuses on improving cereal grain production, particularly barley, which is the most grown crop in Scotland and a key ingredient in the UK’s brewing and distilling industries, worth over £4 billion. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mexico’s Senate voted on Wednesday to end daylight saving time in most parts of the country, sending the legislation to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who is expected to sign it.
The measure would have most of Mexico remain permanently in standard time instead of daylight saving time after most of the country turns its clocks back an hour on Sunday.
The United States will turn its clocks back on the following Sunday, Nov. 6.
The Mexican Senate said in a tweet that the legislation will not affect municipalities in the north near the border with the U.S., which will continue to observe daylight saving time.
It said the law seeks to guarantee the human right to health, increase safety for people in the morning with an earlier sunrise, raise productivity and reduce electricity consumption.
The body passed the measure comfortably with more than 57 percent of senators voting in favor and less than 30 percent voting against.
The New York Times reported that Mexico originally adopted daylight saving time in 1996.
The U.S. Senate unanimously passed legislation earlier this year to permanently move the country to daylight saving time, but the House has not yet acted on the legislation.
Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight saving time and instead stay in standard time year-round. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Cactus Blossom - Wise Owl Furniture Salve
Cactus flower, white currant and jade are combined to form this luscious scent that is bright and fresh. This salve was curated to reflect the emergence of spring after a long winter slumber. Sweet agave and water aloe enhance the fresh-cut green leaves and chrysanthemum petals, while base notes of patchouli and jade ground it with a pleasing earthiness.
Our Furniture Salve is often called “magic in a tin can”, and for good reason! Our hugely popular and celebrated all-natural Furniture Salve is hemp oil and wax-based without nasty fillers or solvents. With salve, you can revive, rejuvenate, and protect/seal all in one easy, safe step! Furniture Salve has endless applications and is available in a variety of scents, including unscented. You can use over raw or stained wood, seal Chalk Synthesis Paint with it, renew leather, polish furniture, and all of your stainless-steel appliances (don’t forget your kitchen sink!), clear up foggy headlights, and even shine up old vinyl in cars.
Apply with one of Wise Owl's Premium Wax Brushes, let it sit for about 20 minutes, then use a lint-free cloth to easily buff away the excess.
