Did you know you could use your flex spending dollars on virtually ALL your eye care needs?
Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds expire at the end of every calendar year. You will lose whatever money is left in the account if you don’t use it. If you have remaining dollars in your FSA, eye care expenses are a great way to use those benefits before they expire at the end of 2022!
FSAs were created by the federal government to allow employees to pay out-of-pocket medical expenses tax-free. The benefit allows you to deduct money from your paycheck before taxes for health-related expenses. Using an FSA can save people 30% on health-related expenses, according to fsafeds.com.
For health and dependent-care expenses, Flexible Spending Accounts allow employees to withhold up to $2,600 per year tax-free. Either funds are deducted from the account via debit card or the employee can submit receipts and be reimbursed.
Typically, benefits expire on December 31 or March 31 depending on the provider’s calendar year. This is also known as the ‘use it or lose it’ rule because any money left in the Flexible Spending Account after this date is forfeited.

Senator Joe Lieberman and the Democratic party seem to be edging closer to blows. Whether they will have a parting of the ways remains to be seen. But in a speech today at the U.S. Center for Global Engagement conference Joe Lieberman didn’t mince words. After reminding the audience about the bitter Congressional fights over the surge, Lieberman went on to remark:
On the other side were those like Senator McCain who argued that—in an interdependent world—we had a moral responsibility not to abandon the Iraqi people, that the violence we were seeing was being perpetrated by identifiable enemies of Iraqis and ours against identifiable human victims, that the bloodshed could be stopped, and the war could be won.
Fortunately for all of us, it is now clear: Senator McCain and others who shared his view were right, and Senator Obama and those who agreed with him were wrong.
I wish Senator Obama would just say that the surge is working, rather than changing his positions on how and when we should exit Iraq without acknowledging that these changes in position are understandably based on facts on the ground.
Aside from the power of those words, the speech is telling for another reason. The fact is that there is virtually no one in the Democratic party leadership who acted differently than Obama did. And there is not a single Democrat who has come forward to say without reservation the surge is working and affirm the need to change the party’s stance on Iraq. It is a source of dismay for those who still hold out hope for a reformed Scoop Jackson Democratic party (or even such a faction within the Democratic party). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
At a time when the West is trying to make Russia pay a price for its aggression in Ukraine, what kind of message does it send if France delivers to Russia two top-of-the-line Mistral-class amphibious assault ships?
“Each of the ships would be able to carry 16 helicopters, four landing craft, 60 armored vehicles, 13 tanks and up to 700 soldiers,” reports the New York Times correspondent Michael Gordon, and they would significantly augment Putin’s power projection capabilities.
Jim Stavridis, a retired admiral who was NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander from 2009 to 2013, says: “The technology and capability represented by the Mistral should not be passed to a Russian Federation that continues to threaten its neighbors.”
The Obama administration has been delivering that message to Paris ever since 2010. Yet two successive French governments have turned a deaf ear to American entreaties. So much for President Obama’s vaunted powers of persuasion. President Francois Hollande has no trouble saying “non” to a Nobel Peace Prize winner–and “oui” to the new tsar in the Kremlin–because it means an extra $1.6 billion or so for the French arms industry.
At the very least France deserves to suffer international opprobrium for this reckless, short-sighted, profit-first behavior that comes at the cost of enabling further Russian aggression. And if I were in a senior leadership position in one of the states directly threatened by Russian power–states like Georgia, Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltic republics–I would think of taking matters into my own hands in the way that Israel would if some outside power were to deliver powerful weapons to its enemies.
Those Eastern European states should give careful consideration to using their secret services to sabotage the French ships if possible because their entry into the Russian fleet will pose a direct threat to the future independence of these former Soviet satellites. That may be a shocking suggestion, but there are precedents for attacking French naval forces before they fall into enemy hands–e.g., the Royal Navy’s attack on the French fleet off Algeria on July 3, 1940, when it was in Vichy hands. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
“Unless the economy turns around in the next 18 months, Obama is on track to have the worst jobs record of any president in the modern era. That would be an accurate statement.”
This judgment comes not from Sarah Palin but from Glenn Kessler, fact checker for the Washington Post. Which makes the judgment triply damaging to the president, since the Post is not known as an anti-Obama newspaper.
As if to prove the point, Kessler adds a caveat to his statement: “But [Obama] also became president in the midst of the worst recession of our lifetimes–and it seems a real stretch to make him personally responsible for every one of those lost jobs, without bothering to offer a shred of evidence for the claim.”
Of course, no president is “personally responsible” for every lost job in America. The point is that like every other president, Obama is being judged by what unfolds on his watch. As for not offering a shred of evidence for the claim Obama is on track to have the worst jobs record of any president in the modern era: Kessler’s own article provides the empirical evidence (it comes to us courtesy of the Bureau of Labor Statistics). And the case against Obama’s policies and why they have had a injurious effect on our economy has been endlessly made.
One gets the sense the verdict offered by Kessler is a reluctant one, but one he cannot really dispute. And the fact that Kessler is willing to make the claim he did — with or without caveats — is notable.
Expect Kessler’s words to appear in a Republican ad near you. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
According to Gallup, 39 percent of Americans approve of Obama’s job performance while 54 percent disapprove. Both data points are the worst numbers of his presidency. Philip Klein points out that no president since Harry Truman as been re-elected with approval ratings this low, this late into his first term. And no president since Franklin Roosevelt has been re-elected with unemployment this high. That sound you hear is of spreading panic among Democrats, who are lucky enough to get to run with the increasingly — and now massively — unpopular Mr. Obama at the top of the ticket.

Do you appreciate art, and would you like to gain more confidence when practicing art? Whether you are a professional artist or a beginner, confidence is a key factor in the development of artistic skills and the exploration of new creative possibilities.
In this interesting blog post, we’ll let you know how art lovers can be more confident in their art and craft endeavors and take your creations to new heights!
Improve Your Skills by Practicing Continuously
As with all skills and abilities, artistic skills become refined over time through consistent training and practice. Set aside effort and time for creativity no matter the nature of the creative art, such as painting, sculpting, and the like.
You should always set realistic goals and savor each step towards achieving your objective. That is why every single stroke of the brush or chisel makes you practice and tend toward perfection.
Find Learning Opportunities from Your Mistakes & Errors
Creation is the process of trying out new ideas and exploring the possibilities. Feel free to make mistakes during this process, as they are valuable lessons that help the artist improve.
Whether it is an uneven paint streak or a bent sculpture, every mistake informs you about something new and enriches the artistry. As a result, your level of confidence will be boosted while crafting new things.
Never Overlook the Diverse Mediums and Techniques
Do not think you have to stick to one particular format/genre. Indeed, it is important always to try and use different sizes, types of mediums, techniques, and art styles that will help you grow.
Whether you’re using watercolors, a combination of different technologies such as ai style transfer, or digital art, using different mediums is beneficial and opens you up to different opportunities to add charm to your artwork.
Be Sure to Set Realistic Goals
It is crucial to set achievable targets if you want to stay inspired and keep making progress as an artist. Break your big goals into smaller sub-goals that are easier to achieve, and always reward yourself upon hitting every sub-goal.
From finishing a set of sketches or entering an art exhibition in your community, actual goals help you feel accomplished and inspire your passion for art. Thus, you can feel more confident in what you’re crafting.
Inspiration Is Everywhere, So Find & Incorporate It
Inspiration comes from a wide range of sources, from the splendor of the great outdoors to the mundane aspects of life. Pursue knowledge and look for inspiration in everything that is happening around you.
Go to art museums, travel to new locations, or just pay attention to the minute specifics of existence. Inspiration is essential as it keeps your creative juices flowing and gives your artwork passion and energy.
Don’t Forget to Seek Helpful Opinions
Opinions from other people, tutors, or even internet forums can be a great source of inspiration and ideas. Never run from criticism; instead, embrace it as a way of having an enhanced outlook on your artwork, no matter what type it is.
Criticism enables you to find out your potential and discover the areas that need improvements to enhance and boost your creativity. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In Ansedonia we find two beaches: the first (Northwest side) overlooks the Argentario and the other (Southeast side) faces the coast of Capalbio. In both the sand is fine and dark and the sea is shallow for several meters from the shore.
The Ansedonia beach facing the Argentario is the final part of the Feniglia tombolo (a little stretch of land). Behind the beach there is the pinewood of the forest reserve, where it is not difficult to see deers. If you want to walk, you will find wide completely deserted areas, where logs brought to shore by winter storms make suggestive and fascinating environment.
The beach facing Capalbio is the initial part of the coast that continues up to Lazio. This part of the beach is characterized by the presence of the Tagliata, a channel that dates from the Etruscan-Roman period cut into the rock in order to prevent the silting up of the Harbor, of the Puccini Tower (or Tagliata Tower) and the Spacco della Regina, a natural cavern just a short walk from the beach. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In its recent Product Review of Vitamin E Supplements, Creams and Oils, ConsumerLab.com selected and tested 13 different brands of vitamin E products. Eleven of these passed testing, meeting their label claims for natural or synthetic vitamin E. Among these, the least expensive were those with synthetic vitamin E, which cost as little as 2 cents per 400 IU (International Units) of vitamin E. Natural vitamin E supplements cost a bit more, starting at around 8 or 9 cents per 400 IU. However, if you are expecting tens or hundreds of milligrams of other vitamin E antioxidant compounds such as gamma-tocopherol, products cost more — starting at about 20 to 30 cents per 400 IU. Products with additional ingredients or topical creams or oils also cost more to get the same amount of vitamin E.
Vitamin E supplements are fairly popular in the U.S. In a 2011 survey of supplement users, ConsumerLab.com found that 21.7% of respondents were taking vitamin E supplements. Many people do not get sufficient vitamin E from what they eat, particularly those on low-fat diets or with medical conditions that cause malabsorption of fats, such as Crohn's disease and cystic fibrosis. However, some of the allure of vitamin E supplements was lost when studies showed that they did not protect against heart disease and might raise the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Studies also showed that synthetic vitamin E might increase the risk of prostate cancer, although natural vitamin E may lower the risk. Sales of vitamin E supplements in the U.S. have fallen in recent years but have stabilized at around $340 million according to Nutrition Business Journal. Preliminary research, largely in animals, suggests that natural vitamin E rich in gamma-tocopherol and, depending on the oil source, delta-tocopherol, may be more cancer preventive than alpha-tocopherol alone, which is the only form in synthetic vitamin E.
"Whether you are a consumer or a clinician, it is important to realize that the vitamin E in one supplement may be very different from vitamin E in the next — even if both claim to be "natural," said ConsumerLab.com President Tod Cooperman, M.D. "This may potentially impact the product's effectiveness." he added.
Brands covered in the new report are Carlson E-Gems, CVS pharmacy Vitamin E 400 IU, Derma-e Vitamin E 12,000 IU Crème, Finest Natural (Walgreen) Vitamin E 1,000 IU d-alpha, Garden of Life RAW Vitamin Code Raw Vitamin E, GNC Natural E 400, Jason Vitamin E 5,000 i.u.

HOA Foreclosure Pennsylvania
Foreclosures are not always initiated by a mortgage lender seeking to collect on the balance owed on the mortgage loan. In some cases, foreclosures can be filed by a third party who has an interest in a property. One situation in which this happens is with Homeowner’s Associations, or HOAs. It is possible for a homeowner to owe so much money to an HOA that the HOA files a foreclosure action in court against the homeowner.
The thought that the HOA can take a person’s home away based on a failure to pay HOA fees and fines sounds farfetched, but depending on the terms of the HOA agreement a homeowner signs when he becomes a part of an HOA community, it is possible.
Not all homes are covered by HOAs. However, homeowners who buy homes in certain communities end up subject to the rules and regulations of their HOAs, and must pay monthly or annual fees to the HOA. This is in turn provides certain communal benefits to the homeowner. Failing to pay the HOA fees sometimes results in fines and other costs, and ultimately the HOA may secure a lien against the non-paying homeowner’s property for the sum of the unpaid fees.
In Pennsylvania, the HOA gets a lien once the homeowner fails to make the required payments. There is no additional requirement that the HOA provide additional notice of the lien to the homeowner before the lien attaches. Once a lien is placed on the property, the HOA can initiate a foreclosure against the property if the homeowner does not pay to have the lien lifted. The HOA has four years from the time the homeowner becomes delinquent on the fees in which to file the foreclosure lawsuit. After this time has passed, the lien against the homeowner’s property is no longer valid.
The HOA lien is generally protected even when the homeowner files for bankruptcy. Meaning that even in bankruptcy, the HOA lien is paid before most other creditors. The HOA lien can also survive a sale of the home, and makes it more difficult to sell the home to a prospective buyer who may not want to buy a house with a lien on it. In some situations, the HOA may hold a stronger lean than the original mortgage lender, and may be able to file foreclosure without including the original mortgage lender as a party to the lawsuit.
There are ways to challenge the legal basis for a foreclosure filed by an HOA. The homeowner can show that the charges and fees that the HOA charged were not authorized, that the HOA misapplied past payments from the homeowner, or even that some fines and fees were overcharged.

If you are facing foreclosure based on a failure to pay HOA fees, you may have a valid defense to the foreclosure action. Contact Louis S. Schwartz and his team at ConsumerLaw Pa.com to speak to a Philadelphia foreclosure defense attorney and fight the HOA foreclosure. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Chicken in Vermouth recipe – Because I spend a lot of time in Argentina and red vermouth is very popular there, I created this recipe based on a white wine sauce. The spices and aromatics in the red vermouth offer depth to the flavor of the sauce.
Try adding a few drops of red wine vinegar to the final sauce, the taste will surely be enhanced.
Reduction and finishing of the sauce 10 minutesmins
Total Time 35 minutesmins
Course Main Course
2chicken thighs with skin and bone
1half clove of garlic
1shallotor a small piece of onion
1sprig of thyme and/or 2-3 sage leaves
30mlchopped tarragon and/or parsley
Zest of half an orange
125mlchicken brothor a reduced salt chicken broth cube
Wine vinegarred or white, to taste
Mise en place
Place all ingredients and equipment on your work surface.
Finely chop the half clove of garlic
Finely chop the shallot and put it in a bowl, then cover with cold water and ice cubes
Finely chop the parsley and/or tarragon
Zest half an orange with a microplane
Prepare the chicken thighs. Keep the skin side intact; on the flesh side, make two incisions on either side of the bone, penetrating the flesh halfway through. Dry the skin well with a paper towel.
Salt the skin side of the chicken. In a cold nonstick pan, place both chicken thighs, skin side down, and turn on the heat to high. As soon as you hear the sound of the skin cooking, cover the pan with its lid, wait for five seconds and then turn down the heat to minimum. Let cook for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the lid, turn the heat back to high, and let the water at the bottom of the pan evaporate. A meat glaze will form, do not let it burn! Once all the liquid has evaporated and only the chicken fat and meat glaze remain, remove the chicken.
Place the chicken on an ovenproof plate, meat side down, and keep in a 100°C (225°F) oven.
For the sauce: in the meat glaze and fat remaining in the pan, fry the shallot, thyme sprig (whole) and/or sage leaves (whole) for 30 seconds,
Then add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds,
Deglaze with vermouth and water,
Let it reduce by one third,
Then add the chicken stock and reduce by one third (if you are using a stock cube, add it, make sure it is dissolved and go to the next step),
Remove the thyme sprig and/or sage leaves,
Add the butter and melt it, stirring vigorously with a whisk,
Taste: is there enough salt? Do you want to add a little vinegar?
Pour the sauce on a plate,
Then sprinkle the parsley and/or tarragon over the sauce,
Then place the chicken, meat side down in the sauce,
Place a small mound of grated orange zest on each chicken thigh,
And serve with a steamed vegetable and/or salad.
A cast iron skillet is not recommended for the creation of the sauce. Using a nonstick pan will prevent the skin from sticking to it and will ensure a crisp skin every time.

By happy coincidence I received an email from Gary Rogers who runs Broads News, Norfolk Broads. He asked: “Further to your recent answers about playing music, I wonder if you know what can be played without a licence? I have always believed that any tracks on a CD are exempt from PRS/PPL if they are recorded prior to 1962.
“This includes a lot of great music from the fifties and early sixties, and all outside the demands of the royalties police! If I am right about this then who needs the radio?”
The coincidence was that I had just had another email from Pete Craggs, who is business development manager at Amazing Instore, which he describes as a key service supplier to convenience stores.
Says Pete: “We provide PRS- and PPL-exempt music and POS messaging into the c-sector and CTN stores - we’re the largest library of licence-exempt music in Europe. This effectively saves retailers hundreds and (in some cases) thousands in licence fees every year.”
The company has recently tied up with the British Independent Retailers Association (BIRA) to launch an exclusive music service to their membership. “This service offers BIRA members access to our vast PRS and PPL exempt music library, via a range of player solutions. Together we’re allowing retailers to remove their requirement for both these expensive (PRS and PPL) licences.”
He confirms that playing music in a store is an incredibly powerful tool for any retailer. “It creates a welcoming and positive atmosphere, dramatically increasing customer dwell times and subsequently boosting sales.”
So I sent Gary’s query/opinion to Pete, who replied: “Unfortunately, Gary is not 100% correct. In the UK, copyright generally lasts for a period of 70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the author (or composer) dies. If the music originates from outside of the European Economic Area, the copyright lasts for as long as the music is protected by copyright in its country of origin, provided that the length of time does not exceed 70 years.
“Pretty much the rule of thumb is that if it’s a popular song it’s likely to be covered by copyright - and a licence will be needed.”
He has this warning, too: “If a retailer is caught playing copyright music without a licence there is a possible £60,000 fine or the obligation to pay a higher rate of licence. Unless, of course, you choose music from a licence-exempt library. This is where we’re helping retailers.”
He adds that Amazing Instore offers a range of products that start from £99 a year. It also produces bespoke in-store commercial messaging for a lot of clients, some of whom have reported sales increases in excess of 20% as a result. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Venn, which provides trial management services to the pharmaceutical sector acquired the intellectual property rights to the dermatology company's substitute.
The animal replacement technology emulates living skin with both dermal and epidermal layers. The epidermal layer is differentiated, which provides a dry, air-exposed surface to test all aspects of skin microbiology, according to Evocutis.
The dermatology brand is set to receive £210,000 (€255,783) in shares for LabSkin and will also receive 7.5% on the gross sales of the brand for the next three years.
As part of the deal, Venn also acquired SYN1113, which will also see the company receive a quarter of the royalties of future sales.
On the approval of Evocutis shareholders, the acquisition is expected to close at the end of the first quarter.
Sweeping animal ban has boosted labskin's success
UK-based Evocutis secured ten new contracts totalling £280,000 (€337,000) last year for its alternative method following a boost in demand for replacement technologies.
The contracts covered a variety of technology areas including the use of LabSkin to evaluate product interactions, microbiological evaluation of products on skin and prebiotic evaluation of products on skin microflora.
The substitute is a full thickness human skin model, comprised of both dermal and epidermal layers, providing a completely dry surface for tailored testing requirements.
It can be used to test a whole range of skin care products including moisturizers, anti-ageing products and anti-microbial agents, thus reducing the need for human and animal testing.
Catering to the industry with different models
Just last year the UK brand joined forces with Bradford University to develop models for different skin types and colours, allowing it to be used more widely in laboratories for research and development of personal care products.
The co-funded project investigated the addition melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin and gives skin and hair its colour, to LabSkin.
The commercial use of pigmented LabSkin would be to test and support the marketing claims of sun protection products. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Has ghosting affected you?
How we communicate has changed so much in the past 20 years. At the end of the 1990’s we still talked face-to-face and we called each other on the phone. We even wrote long letters.
If we were going to break up with someone then we more or less had to tell them in person that the relationship wasn’t going anywhere. And by doing so we experienced the fallout and emotional reactions our actions caused. A few took the easier way out and wrote a ‘Dear John’ letter and finished the relationship. Some tried to do so over the phone.
But now, with modern technology, we don’t have to deal with other’s emotions. We can avoid any uncomfortableness our actions may cause. Texting ‘goodbye’ means that we don’t have to see how the other person reacts to our callousness. But recently we have gone a step further and have ‘ghosting’.
Ghosting is an example of how desperately we, as a society, are trying to remove bad emotions from our lives. We just cut off the other person. And in this we are saying you don’t matter to me. In fact you matter even less than I do to myself. I don’t want to be unhappy and seeing you reactive negatively to the breakup is not something I want to deal with.
For those who don’t know, ‘ghosting’ this new phenomenon is when someone, be they a friend or a lover, simply stops responding to the other person. Phone calls, texts, emails and Facebook contacts are ignored. The other person suddenly just doesn’t exist in your life. They are literally a ghost.
This is a rude, cruel way of finishing a relationship and very painful to the recipient. At the start the ignored person wonders what has happened. Then begin wondering if the person they are texting is OK? Surely something bad must have happened to them or they would have replied. Then the ignored person gets the cold hint and begins to wonder what is wrong with them. What did they do wrong? And these are questions that never get answered. The ignored person is left with their self-esteem shattered. And some become angry and vengeful.
But if you have been ghosted then exploring the whole range of feelings you may have with a therapist can help you move on. You can rebuild your self-esteem. Although they won’t realise it, those who have ghosted are probably more in need of therapy than the person they have so easily hurt. Their avoidance of pain and responsibility for hurting others really should be tackled if they are ever going to build a loving and successful relationship.
Ghosting is here and not going to go away. But hopefully, with maturity, those who are inclined to avoid confrontation will learn how to deal with it and face the consequences. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The secret to a long lasting relationship
Close your eyes and imagine yourself walking up to the self help section of your local bookshop. My guess is that you're looking at a vast number of titles claiming to have discovered the secret to the perfect relationship, and of course unlimited wealth and happiness, etc.
In my practice as a Wimbledon couples counsellor I meet with people hoping I have the ‘secret’ the solution they have been missing. And as a relationship counsellor I know as a profession, we don’t the one secret template that will work for everyone. Rather our job is to help couples find their own individual, personal secret template. And the good news is that research shows that a body of professionals we are good at that.
But are there ‘secrets’ to the perfect relationship?
An article in this weeks Daily Mail reviewed recent research into brain activity of long term of happily in love couples. It observed a process called mirror neuronal activity in these couples. This reinforces research that we have known for some years. When we really emotionally empathise with another, really really try to understand them, similar ‘mirror’ neuronal activity is observable in both our brains. That this is happening in these very strong relationships suggests that if we regularly do much more of this empathising with our partner, it may fundamentally strengthen our relationship with them.
Working with your therapist
In our busy world it can be difficult to create time for such practices. However relationships seem to need couples to spend a reasonable amount of such undistracted time together, time in which we are empathising with our partner. To borrow an expression, just ‘shooting the wind’ together triggering the neural activity that the Daily Mail is referring to. This is not heavy problem solving, but rather just being curious about their partner, asking questions, getting close with their answers - all in a fun light way and empathic way.
The good news is that this is exactly the sort of thing your therapist will be hopping to facilitate. And perhaps the Daily Mail article is showing us that if you succeed, we will be joining the ranks of the super relationships. So during this week, see if you can set some couple time aside to just ‘be curious’ together.
As always this is Christopher MacGovern signing off with; ’talk to your therapist’. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Adam Zampa, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Swepson, and Glenn Maxwell have outperformed Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Washington Sundar in the limited-overs leg of India’s tour of Australia. The Indian spinners have not only found it hard to find breakthroughs but have also leaked runs, resulting in Australia getting big scores in pretty much all six matches – three ODIs and three T20Is.
Former India wicketkeeper Kiran More feels one of the main reasons behind Indian spinners’ ineffectiveness barring the first T20I has been the absence of MS Dhoni behind the stumps. More said Dhoni’s constant guidance from behind the stumps helped the likes of Kuldeep, Chahal and Jadeja a great deal.
‘‘During Dhoni’s time, he was constantly giving advice to bowlers on what length or line to bowl – albeit mostly in Hindi. Now that Dhoni is not there behind the wickets, India’s spinners are struggling – you will see Kuldeep (Yadav) or (Ravindra) Jadeja are no longer the same bowlers,” More told former India batsman WV Raman in the latter’s podcast ‘Inside Out’.
“He has done it for 10-12 years with aplomb as Virat Kohli could afford to stand in the deep, but now he has to either stand at short extra cover or mid-off to talk to the bowlers.’
Dhoni announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket in August this year. KL Rahul has been keeping wickets for India in the limited-overs series. More said a lot of teams are now appointing their keeper-batsmen as the captain after seeing the success of Dhoni.
“It will be very difficult to find another Dhoni. If you see so many countries like Pakistan, England or South Africa trying with a wicketkeeper-batsman as captain, it’s because they have seen the benefit of having someone like him behind the stumps to read the game from the best position in the ground,” he said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
IBM Board Sets Pay Packages For New CEO And President
Arvind Krishna, who took the CEO job last month, will start with a $1.5 million base salary, and new president James Whitehurst with $1.2 million
IBM’s board of directors has approved salaries and performance incentives for new CEO Arvind Krishna and its new president, James Whitehurst, the company disclosed in an SEC filing Friday.
Earlier in the week, the board set a $1.5 million base salary for Krishna (pictured above) that he started earning when he took the helm of the company on April 6, with the potential to see an annual bonus of $3 million (prorated from the April start date) that’s dependent on the company’s performance.
But the long-term potential of stock awards far exceeds that cash pay—up to $13.75 million.
[Related: How Much Are Oracle's Top Execs Paid?]
Krishna’s base pay falls $100,000 short of his predecessor, Ginni Rometty, who started 2019 with a salary of $1.6 million. The IBM board in March approved 85 percent of Rometty’s overall target compensation for her final year leading the company, and she ultimately scored $20.16 million in total compensation for 2019.
Whitehurst, who also assumed his position as IBM president on April 6 after more than a decade leading Red Hat, now an IBM subsidiary, will earn a base salary of $1.2 million, with the possibility of another $1.8 million in annual bonus that’s prorated from his start date. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Andrea Bocelli, the beloved world-renowned tenor and best-selling classical music artist, celebrates an incredible 30-year career in 2024.
To mark this occasion, Bocelli returns to one of the world’s most beautiful outdoor stages – the Pula Arena in Croatia, where he will hold a unique concert under the stars on August 30th.
For the past three decades, this icon of classical and pop music has touched the hearts of millions with his voice and inspired many artists with his life. Now, we have the opportunity to experience him once again in Croatia, chosen as one of the stops on the map of celebrating the artist’s great milestone.
Born in Italy, he began his journey by performing in piano bars and competing in local singing contests. He gained fame in 1994 by winning the newcomers’ section of the 44th Sanremo Music Festival with his performance of “Il mare calmo della sera”.
Since then, Bocelli has recorded 15 solo studio albums spanning pop and classical music genres, sold over 75 million records worldwide, and achieved success as a crossover performer, blending classical music with international pop charts. His albums like “Romanza” and “Sacred Arias” have broken records, and his song “Con te partirò” remains one of the best-selling singles of all time.
Bocelli’s accolades include being named one of People magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People, winning awards for his duets, and receiving honors such as being made a Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.
Tickets for this unique musical evening with Andrea Bocelli go on sale on February 14th at 11:00 via the Eventim.hr online system and at physical Eventim outlets. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

- About the Luxembourg Red Cross
10 December 2023
December 10 is World Human Rights Day. The Red Cross, by virtue of its activities, is naturally committed to defending them. This commitment was further strengthened in the summer of 2022, with the signing of the national “Business and Human Rights” Pact. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is one of the reference documents in the Code of Conduct and Ethics of the Luxembourg Red Cross.
To mark Human Rights Day, we are inaugurating a series of articles on this theme.
The first two articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are as follows:
These two articles are reflected in the principle of humanity implemented by the Luxembourg Red Cross and in its mission statement. They express the fundamental principles of human rights: freedom, equality, dignity and fraternity of all human beings, without any discrimination.
These principles also imply that human beings must respect the rights and freedoms of others, and cooperate for the common good of humanity. These articles are therefore an invitation to live together in peace, justice and solidarity. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

PensionBee, a London-based online pension provider, has chosen to base its US business headquarters on the east coast of the United States, in New York City.
The London Stock Exchange-listed FTSE stock, UK financial technology firm, which has over £5 billion ($6.3 billion) assets under administration and more than 250,000 domestic customers, announced plans “to launch in the US earlier this year.”
This move will grant the UK company “access to the US Defined Contribution pensions market – the world’s largest, accounting for roughly 80% of the global total and encompassing $22.5 trillion in assets.”
- Global reputation and access to talent: New York City’s global standing as a hub for business and innovation attracts top-tier talent from around the world. PensionBee is committed to building a diverse and skilled workforce – which will see numerous new hires join the company as it grows – and New York’s rich talent pool is perfectly aligned with its needs.
- Access to investors: New York City, known as the world’s financial capital, provides PensionBee with direct access to a vast network of investors. This proximity to major financial institutions will be instrumental in driving growth and supporting PensionBee’s mission to build pension confidence and make retirement savings accessible for everyone.
- Time zone advantage: Situated on the east coast, New York’s time zone is only five hours separated from the UK, making it well suited for real-time collaboration. This proximity enables closer synchronised working hours, enhancing PensionBee’s ability to deliver responsive and cohesive service to all of its customers.
PensionBee’s presence in New York City will also “bring significant economic benefits to the Big Apple.”
The move will mean that PensionBee is able “to contribute to the local economy by creating numerous job opportunities, hiring across various roles from tech and finance to customer service and operations and further strengthening the city’s position as a global fintech hub, adding to its already dynamic fintech landscape.”
By situating its operations in New York, PensionBee will “contribute to the ongoing economic growth and development of the city and its commitment to innovation and excellence, supporting its business objectives and benefiting the local community and economy.”
Romi Savova, Founder and CEO at PensionBee, commented:
“Choosing New York City for our US business was a strategic move to tap into the world’s largest Defined Contribution pension market and access a vast network of important stakeholders. New York’s status as the financial capital and its rich talent pool perfectly align with our mission to build pension confidence and make retirement savings accessible for everyone. Beyond operational benefits, our presence in New York will drive job creation and contribute to the city’s dynamic fintech ecosystem.”
Cecilia Kushner, Chief Strategy Officer at New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), commented:
“We are thrilled that PensionBee chose New York City as the location for its US business headquarters and for this cutting-edge company to join and contribute to the city’s robust tech community. NYCEDC is proud to have supported PensionBee in its decision to come to New York City, as doing business here offers unparalleled benefits such as access to top-tier talent, proximity to a thriving financial services ecosystem, and an introduction to the city’s diverse and international business networks. We look forward to our continued work with PensionBee as it grows its footprint in New York City, and to the local economic benefits including new jobs that this office opening will bring.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What Is An Ear Hematoma?
An ear - or aural - hematoma, is a blood blister that develops within the cartilage and skin of your pup's ear.
They are often caused by self-inflicted trauma due to your dog excessively scratching at its ears, but other injuries or trauma to the ear can cause a hematoma as well. The trauma to the ear causes the small blood vessels in the pinna (the ear flap) to break and leak internally causing blood-filled swelling.
This condition is frequently observed in dogs with chronic ear infections, which prompt them to repeatedly scratch and paw at their ears. Dogs with long, floppy ears, dogs who spend a lot of time in the water, and dogs who have untreated allergies that irritate their skin are at an increased risk of developing ear infections.
What Does A Hematoma Look Like?
The ear flap on your dog will be swollen if they have an ear hematoma. The entire ear flap may be affected in severe cases, and the blood's weight may cause the ear flap to hang lower than usual.
Hematomas can feel firm or squishy to the touch depending on their size and location. They are often painful and your dog will probably not want to have its ear touched.
Dog Ear Hematoma Surgery
The best way to treat a hematoma is through a surgical procedure that has two goals: to drain the hematoma and then prevent it from forming again. There are a few different techniques a veterinarian will use based on their personal preference, but the overview of the surgery is the same.
First, any blood clots will be surgically removed and the hematoma will be surgically drained. The empty or "dead" space in your pet's ear flap that was once filled with blood will then be removed by the veterinarian. In order to encourage the formation of scar tissue and reattach the cartilage to the skin, this is accomplished by inserting numerous sutures through the ear.
If you're worried about the cost of your dog's ear hematoma surgery, contact your vet and they should be able to give you an estimate.
Dog Ear Hematoma Surgery Recovery
The healing time for dogs after ear hematoma surgery is about two weeks.
While your pup may be sore for the first few days following surgery, your vet will give you pet-friendly medications and inflammation medicine to help. They will also provide antibiotics if needed.
What to Expect After Dog Ear Hematoma Surgery
Following surgery, your dog might have a drainage tube put in its ear to aid in the healing process. 3 to 14 days after the procedure, your veterinarian will remove this. To stop them from picking at their ears as they heal, they'll probably also be given an electronic collar or an Elizabethan collar.
Be sure to follow your vet's instructions on proper home care and monitor your dog’s ear for signs of infection, such as cold smelling discharge or swelling that doesn't appear to be going down.
Preventing Further Hematomas
It is essential to address the root cause of your dog's ear irritation in order to stop the development of additional hematomas. Without addressing the underlying issue, your dog is likely to start pawing and scratching at its ears once more, increasing the risk of further problems.
Be sure to follow up with your veterinarian so they can perform the appropriate diagnostic tests to get to the bottom of your pup's ear condition.

Saddle soreness: How do I get a comfortable saddle?
The right saddle
The only infallible way to choose the right saddle is to try different ones on your bike. Some shops have saddle libraries enabling you to try different ones to see what works best.
The right saddle will support your weight on the bony parts of your pelvis rather than the soft tissue in between, avoiding pain and/or numbness. Your pelvic bones are narrower at the front than at the back, where your sit bones are. So the saddle width required also depends on your riding position. Leaning forward on a road bike calls for a narrower saddle than sitting upright on a commuter.
The need for padding differs by usage, too. On a Dutch roadster, with almost all of your weight on your bum, padding and/or springs are helpful. On a road bike, with more of your weight borne by hands and feet, a harder saddle may suit.
The more you lean forward – especially women – the more perineal or (ouch!) genital pressure you can expect. That’s why sportier saddles in particular have cut-outs and channels: to relieve pressure. For a given riding position, they may be the difference between comfort and pain.
The right position
Your riding position isn’t set in stone, however. If you move the handlebar closer and higher, using a shorter and/or taller stem (or a different frame), you’ll sit up more: the wider part of your pelvis will then bear your weight. Part of saddle comfort is handlebar position.
Saddle height matters as well. Too high and you’ll rock your pelvis, causing chafing or other undercarriage discomfort. If that sounds like you, try lowering your saddle in 5mm increments. (To ensure your saddle is high enough, the heel-on-pedal- method works fine.)
For saddle angle, start with it horizontal. Tilting the saddle nose down a few degrees (or maybe more) can help if the handlebar is notably lower than the handlebar. Tilting up is less common but might work for a more upright riding position. Whatever you do, never persevere through pain.
One of these might (and only might) work for you.

New Evidence Suggests Noah's Sons Rode Flying Dinosaurs
For years, Creation Scientists have disputed how Noah was able to quickly collect millions of indigenous animals from remote, inaccessible regions of the world for a 40-day ride in his ark. New evidence from an archeological find in China supports the long held Christian belief that Noah's sons rode giant flying dinosaurs to transport duck billed platypuses from Australia, and penguins and polar bears from the Antarctic, to name a few. "Those must have been some mighty big flying dinosaurs," says Pastor Deacon Fred. "Imagine the look on Noah's face when his sons flew in for a landing with a pair of Hippos strapped to the back of one of them things! Glory to God.
The Lord is just amazing," says Creation Scientist, Dr. Jonathan Edwards. "Whenever Atheist scientists make a new find, they think it will hack away at our Christian beliefs. They must get pretty peeved at how sneaky our Lord is, because whenever they unearth something, it only provides more support for the historical accuracy of the Holy Bible And these flying dinosaurs they keep finding are no exception!"
Dr. Edwards explains that it would have been impossible for Noah's sons to travel to the four corners of the earth to areas that were previously inaccessible on foot. "Noah and his sons had to collect two of every single creature on the face of the planet," he says. "We're talking about a big haul here. At first we just attributed it to what Creation Scientists call, the Holy Finger Snapping Theory. That's where God snaps his fingers and just makes it so." Edwards points out that Creation Scientists are still unanimous in attributing the fact that Noah was able to load 100 million plus animals onto a 450 foot ark "in the selfsame day" (Genesis 7:13-14) to the Finger Snapping Theory. In the case of how the animals were collected from remote regions of the world in the first place however, recent archeological finds indicate that Noah's sons were able to tame giant flying dinosaurs and in turn, load them up with food supplies and hitch rides for long trips around the world to China, South America, Australia, Greenland, and the North Pole.
Creation Scientists estimate that since the Earth is only ten-thousand years old, human beings were living among dinosaurs and had plenty of time to tame them. "I would have loved to have been around to see Cain and Abel rolling around in the grass outside the Garden of Eden playing with the pet raptors their father, Adam, gave them for their birthdays," says Pastor Deacon Fred. "What a glorious time that must have been!"
Through tithing donations from Landover Baptist Church members, the Center for Creation Research was able to secure several fossilized remains of flying dinosaurs valued at over $14 million. The remains will be studied exhaustively for evidence of the leather harnessing used to secure Noah's sons for their long transcontinental journeys. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Israeli forces killed more than 400 Palestinians and demolished over 1,050 homes during a 13-day raid on Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, the government media office reported Saturday.
The Gaza-based government Media Office said Israeli forces detained and tortured hundreds of patients, displaced individuals and health care workers in and around the hospital.
A statement highlighted the dire situation of 107 patients and 60 health care workers trapped in the hospital under inhumane conditions without water, medicine, food or electricity.
It accused Israel of obstructing attempts by international organizations to evacuate the patients, putting their lives at risk.
The Gaza government held "the American administration, the international community and some European countries fully responsible for participating in the genocide and ethnic cleansing committed by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip."
Calling for concrete action to halt the attacks on hospitals and the destruction in Gaza, the government urged "international organizations, Arab and Islamic countries, to move beyond condemnation and silence and take real measures to stop the genocide assaults."
Israel has waged a deadly military offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7 cross-border attack led by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, in which less than 1,200 Israelis were killed.
More than 32,700 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have since been killed by Israel in Gaza, in addition to mass destruction, displacement and famine conditions.
Israel is accused of genocide by the International Court of Justice (ICJ). An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Russian president, and arch nemesis of the West, Vladimir Putin, has denied any direct involvement of the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines MH17 passenger jet over Russian held territory in Donetsk, Ukraine on July 17th 2014.
“I told my deputy, the Russian BUK missile launcher must be returned to Russia after it shoots down the plane or he will have to file a lost property ticket, and those launchers don’t come cheap. It’s on his head. I don’t think his meagre pay packet could cover the cost if anything happened to it.
“All we had to do once the operation was complete is deny all knowledge and blame the Ukrainians. The fact that the air disaster recovery team found shrapnel embedded deep in the fuselage coming from a Russian BUK missile is neither here nor there. That’s their problem, not ours.
“So, why did we kill 298 innocent people in a commercial jet in cold blood? Why not? Russians do not have to give reasons for anything. We do this, we do that, and if you get in our way, we do more bad things. That’s war comrade.”
In addition to Putin and his cronies denying any involvement, no one will ever be brought to justice for the vile crime of blowing up a passenger jet with innocent women and children onboard.
As for the West, they’re too scared to do anything about it, a typical sordid end to the whole putrefying episode. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Paver Deck on a Wood Frame
A stone paver deck can be installed over a wood frame.
If you are like most people you probably thought deck pavers could
only be installed at ground level over 12"-18" of granular stone.
Turns out stone is a great material obviously for its durability.
But there are substrate systems that can be used over wood joist framing to lay paver stones right on top.
Here is a deck construction project - based on a couple jobs - that show the steps of how to use the Silca System to install stone deck pavers over a traditional wood frame deck. The project draws images from several projects to show.
Not only is framing way cheaper than excavating and laying
granular stone, it creates so many elevation possibilities and extends
the life of a deck to as long as the framing will last.
Wooded Lot Retreats
Recently I was speaking with Bill Nezbeth of Silca Systems.
My eyes were opened wide when I saw and heard about the possibilities now available for home owners.
I regularly get messages from visitors asking if there is a good way
to build a traditional wood deck, or resurface an old deck, using a
stone materials surface.
Until now, I wasn't sure what to say. But take a look at these decks in beautiful Arkansas and Oregon.
They are built from traditional wood joist framining using a strong and durable modular substrate that spans the joist and allows any kind of stone to go over a deck.
The implications were obvious - like a very long lasting deck - as long as the framing will last.
Very low maintenance - on par with a traditional interlocking stones over gravel base.
Endless possibilities of building a deck above grade and maintaining continuity in look and feel from a ground patio deck to the upper levels.
Less costly to build then excavating and building up a deck 2' or 3' above existing grade.
So if you were ever wondering if a paver deck was a possibility on a
wood frame, follow the steps of a typical installation and learn more...

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. These goals aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. They are important because they provide a framework for addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges, such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation, and for ensuring that economic growth and development is inclusive and sustainable for all people. Deedmob supports all SDGs directly or indirectly.
Volunteering is essential for the SDGs. Volunteering brings people and communities together to grow, build resilience and develop community responsibility. Social engagement and trust are strengthened through individual and collective volunteer actions. These lead to sustainable and powerful development, for people, by people.
Volunteering also increases civic engagement, inspires others and drives the changes needed to grow the SDGs in communities. Through this civic engagement, volunteering ensures that no one is left behind. The power to reach everyone is essential to localise the SDGs to make sustainability a big deal in local communities as well.
Finally, many SDGs require behavioural and attitudinal changes in ways of living together or consumption, for example. Volunteers, because they are so at the centre of society, inspire communities and facilitate this behavioural change by leading by example. Thus, together, volunteers (organisations) can become pioneers for a sustainable world!
Deedmob's technology empowers volunteer organisations with volunteer-engagement platforms. Our mission is to empower everyone to contribute to a better world. Through our volunteer-engagement platform technology, we facilitate an infrastructure for volunteering, through which individuals, social organisations, nonprofits, charities, companies, schools can find volunteers and connect.
Deedmob believes in measuring the impact of volunteering. A measurement methodology in collaboration with CBS and former prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende was launched in 2020, giving the SDGs a prominent role within the platform. Volunteer activities are automatically linked to the SDGs based on a smart algorithm. With Deedmob, we directly or indirectly contribute to the following SDGs:

Home thoughts from abroad: skills development
--Wilbur Wright |
Skills development, the primary measure of any national vocational education and training system, is how well that system succeeds in meeting the needs of the industries it serves. This might be quantitative – the number of newly trained recruits – or qualitative – the right range and level of knowledge and skill.
By this measure, ‘high-road’ construction industries such as those of Scandinavia, Benelux and German-speaking countries put to shame their ‘low-road’ peers, including the UK and most countries of central and eastern Europe. The former group places more faith in the value of workforce knowledge and skills development than the latter.
[i] Source: Arnholtz, J and Ibsen, C., ‘Sustaining High Road Employment Relations in Swedish and Danish Construction Industries’, in Belman, D, Druker, J and White, G (eds) (2021), Work and Labour Relations in the Construction Industry: An International Perspective, Routledge, London. |
‘High-road’ systems do not arise as a result of chance, but from Governments empowering industry to establish and maintain robust training and competence standards. For example, when asked by a UK counterpart to explain his own country’s success, one Austrian minister explained: “We handed vocational education over to the social partners, then left them alone for 30 years.”
Often, in these countries, Governments reinforce the effectiveness of industry leadership through supportive public policy and regulatory measures. As well as widespread adoption of direct employment, these measures include giving universal effect to grading and training provisions in collective agreements and/or establishing mandatory occupational licensing regimes.
In the UK, construction skills development has never recovered from the strategic decision, rolled out between the 1970s and 1990s, to prioritise cost minimisation above nearly all other considerations.
In the interests of lowering ‘barriers to entry,’ Governments, clients and the top tier of industry worked tirelessly for 20 years to undermine or remove regulations and institutions previously designed to support a higher road approach.
Many previously skilled activities were broken up and commodified into multiple, narrowly defined, low-level jobs. Germany, for example, currently recognises just 19 construction occupations, compared to around 150 recognised in the UK.
The fact that an individual does not work for them directly, or may leave after only a short time, is a major disincentive for installation businesses to invest in workforce training. This means, counter-intuitively, the lower the training requirement the less likely businesses are to invest in training – accelerating the downward spiral even further.
Where does this leave the UK’s construction skills system – especially now that the immigration tap has been turned off and the predicted off-site ‘revolution’ has metamorphosed into something more akin to an evolution?
There is a lot at stake, as UK and devolved Governments all now rely heavily on construction businesses to help deliver key policy priorities – from transport and energy infrastructure, smart cities, net zero, building safety to the ill-defined, ‘levelling up’ agenda. The Skills Plan, published by the Construction Leadership Council, in 2021 is dizzying in the scale and range of the improvement aims it sets out.
My view is that real improvement will come only when the UK looks again at the historic choice between the low-road and high-road approaches. This needs a greater appreciation of other countries’ systems, the useful lessons from higher road sectors in the UK – including our own electrotechnical sector – and a willingness to address long-standing structural obstacles to sustainable skills development.

I worry for whoever came up with this idea for a game. Tanto Cuore is a card game all about collecting maids.
Yes. Collecting. Maids. Somewhere in some dude’s (I’m sure it’s a guy who invented this game) mind the idea of having a game entirely about recruiting a harem of maids was appealing. Lucky for us, then, that as strange as that guy’s mind is, the game itself is actually a load of fun. And so here I find myself playing with maids at all hours and enjoying myself immensely.
At its core, Tanto Cuore is a deck-building game, very similar to something like Dominion or Ascension. For people who haven’t played these games in the past, they are highly strategic games that are very easy to learn. Players start with a small deck of ten cards – most of which are resources. They use these cards to “buy” additional cards, and then they reshuffle their cards into a new deck with these additional cards in them. Each of these additional cards offer special effects. For instance, one card might let you buy two cards in a single turn, rather than one. Another card will “attack” another player causing them to lose points.
After about 20 minutes of play or so the game finishes and the person with the most points is declared the winner. Because there are so many cards to pick up and add into the deck there are a wide range of strategies that can be undertaken in Tanto Cuore, and finding your personally preferred strategy is a matter of a lot of practice and trial and error. The game is incredibly well balanced so that there isn’t one single “best” strategy, and while the variety isn’t quite as strong as we find in a game like Dominion, for a couple of dollars Tanto Cuore is many, many hours of play before the strategy begins to become stale.
An efficient tutorial gets you into the game quickly, and then there’s the standard range of play options; Vs. AI, pass-the-iPad multiplayer and online multiplayer. For online play the signup process was a little broken and took me longer than it should have, and once I finally got in I found it hard to get a game going. I guess there aren’t many people out there with iPads that are that interested in playing card games about maids. Once I did get a game going it was nice to discover that it’s asynchronous, meaning I didn’t need to sit down for an entire game in one sitting.
As with most card games it’s better to play against other humans, so it’s a pity the online community is so dead so soon after release. The local multiplayer is still good fun, but for some reason I could never convince someone to play in public with me.
And with that we move to the bit of the review I know you’re all keen on: how are the maids, right? The cards all look great, but if you’re not a fan of the semi-sexualised anime style, then it’s best you don’t get too involved in the game. Of course this is a real card game and all the developer, Playdek, has done is accurately capture the physical card’s art style, so it’s not really a reflection of the development process that the game has the presentation that it does.
It’s not really that over the top anyway, and the compelling gameplay quickly makes you forget what, specifically, you are playing. Of all the card games available off the Apple App Store, Tanto Cuore is perhaps the nichest and so the online community for the game is far too low. Which is a pity because if the community were stronger, this game would be essential.

If you want some truly finger licking good, then the chicken additions on MEATliquor N1’s menu is the only thing you need in your life. Whether you fancy the buffalo wings or South-African Braai wings with fiery spices; there is bound to be something that tickles your appetite.
They have a good selection of chicken based burgers from the dirty cheeseburger slathered in their home made buffalo sauce or if you’re feeling like a king, then the tower block burger is the only option for you – a fried chicken fillet burger, with cheese, hash brown, jalapeños, russian dressing and ‘slaw. Yum, give me a slice.
As Clutch say themselves, they know exactly how fried food is done, so why wouldn’t you want to visit for a bite to eat?
Cooking their food using groundnut oils means the dinner served up to you on a plate tastes and looks fresh and never has that burnt look or taste that some fried foods can have. All ingredients used are ethically sourced, so whilst you’re not quite having a meat free diet, you essentially are helping the planet.
You are guaranteed to try something a little less expected and more out of the norm at Clutch. Their jerk chicken croquette features slow smoked pulled chicken, served up with banana ketchup.
Or maybe you want to go all in and order the ‘No Woman No Thigh’ dish featuring a fried mix of buttermilk chicken legs and wings. There’s even chicken gravy!
Gluten and wheat free meal options available.
It wouldn’t be a dreamy restaurant guide if I didn’t feature a good Mexican fiesta.
From cheesy quesadillas, crispy tostadas, crackling tacos and lots more (including bigger plates called plates mayores!), you are not going to be in for any disappointment if you choose to dine here. A hidden little secret, tucked away behind Oxford Street, the place is owned by a couple who do the cooking and the serving.
The cooking put into their food blends a mix of spices and salsas which will tantalise any hungry taste buds. There’s even a cocktail and drinks menu that uses their own signature margarita mix. It’s not quite Mexico, but it’s close enough!
Award winning Turkish restaurant, Rixos offers a mix of Middle East & Mediterranean meats West with a bar and grill for all.
You will be pleasantly surprised that this London gem is very reasonably priced with most mains priced between £10 and £15. It’s a great one to swing by to if you’re looking for some healthier chicken options and the less greasy kind. Offering a typical mix of chicken shishs, marinated chicken wings and chicken kebabs with salad and chilli or garlic sauces.
A child friendly option based in Clapham, which offers the perfect contemporary Sunday lunches. Think roast chicken with ALL of the trimmings. Failing that, you might fancy MOMMI’S bottomless brunch or popping into listen to their late night music at the weekends.
Feeling overwhelmed? I wouldn’t know where to start either. Maybe from the top?! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The basic components of a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) include two layers of metal (commonly Al or Cu), two insulating layers (generally SiN_x:H), an active layer (usually a-Si:H), and an ohmic contact layer (n^+ a-Si:H) positioned between the semiconductor and metal layers. The electrodes formed by the two metal layers are the scanning signal metal electrode and the data signal metal electrode. The two insulating layers refer to the insulating layer below the active layer (often called the gate insulating layer, denoted as g-SiN_x) and the insulating layer above the active layer (commonly called the passivation layer, denoted as PVX). The active layer and the doped layer for ohmic contact typically form an island-like structure in the TFT, often referred to as an active island or silicon island.
Based on the position relationship between the gate electrode and the silicon island, the TFT structure can be divided into bottom-gate structure and top-gate structure. The bottom-gate structure is also known as the Inverted Staggered Structure, and the top-gate structure is referred to as the Staggered Structure.
Currently, bottom-gate structures are widely used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Since LCDs are passive light-emitting devices requiring a backlight source behind the display screen, the opaque gate electrode metal layer in the bottom-gate structure effectively blocks light from the backlight source. This prevents light from reaching the silicon island, which could generate photo-induced carriers and affect the off-state current characteristics of the TFT.
Based on manufacturing process differences, the bottom-gate structure is generally divided into the Back-Channel Etchant (BCE) structure and the Etched-Stopper Layer (ESL or ISL) structure. The BCE structure has fewer process steps, making it more cost-effective. However, the ESL structure prevents etching damage to the back-channel of the semiconductor layer, resulting in superior electrical characteristics. Due to advancements in design and process technology, BCE structures are now widely adopted by panel manufacturers because their electrical performance meets display requirements. Generally, unless the BCE structure cannot meet process requirements, panel manufacturers prefer not to use the ESL structure.
The top-gate structure has a significant drawback for use in LCDs: the silicon island is directly exposed to the backlight. However, in reflective electrophoretic displays, the light source for image display comes from ambient light. The metal gate electrode in the top-gate structure covers the silicon island, effectively blocking ambient light and reducing photo-induced carriers. This characteristic allows electrophoretic displays to retain charges in the pixel capacitors for a long time without repeated refreshing, even if the image on the screen remains static. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

“Autobots… Roll out”…
Aiden brought his VE SSV Ute “UNICRON” back to us wanting to give it a new look for the 2021 Supanova Expo on December 11th & 12th 2021 with a custom Transformers themed wrap.
He is a huge Transformers fan – and we had previously done some small additions for him (custom printed Transformers themed stripes and rear one-way vision) – but this time he wanted to go all out and wrap his car in something much more detailed.
He gave us the keys and left the rest to us. Working with the extremely talented Cris from Frank Ricci Design again – we discussed the brief and what was created in the end was something incredibly detailed and perfectly suited to the car.
We took advantage of the car being white – and designed the artwork such that it would easily flow with the unwrapped panels – so we printed this on 3M 180mc-114 clear wrap film using our Mimaki UCJV300 printer and applied the wrap to both sides and the rear. Cris hinted a suggestion – ‘what about the wheels…?’ I said let’s do that too! So we also designed graphics for the wheels, and wrapped them as well to complete the look.
This car will be on display at Supanova next week – if you’re going for a look, we’d love to see your photos.

Osmo Pocket: 3 Hollywood Film Shots (feat. Make.Art.Now)
The Osmo Pocket is a compact, portable filmmaking tool that allows you to create highly creative footage. Today we're analyzing three Hollywood-style film shots, presented by Josh Yeo, founder of Make.Art.Now. From the Atlanta transition to the crane shot, we recommend these tips to your attention so that you too can take amazing shots!
Osmo Pocket is incredibly small, lightweight, and packed with professional features like 4K/60fps video and 3-axis stabilization technology. This tiny filmmaking tool lets you control your camera, gimbal and other settings remotely from your smartphone. From set-up to shooting tips, we cover all the steps you need to shoot in Hollywood, wherever you are.
Osmo Pocket compilation
All Hollywood-style shooting is about precision, control and finesse, which is why you need the Osmo Pocket Extension Rod accessory for your creative shots. The retractable extension rod has a phone holder and control levers, so you can fully control your recordings.
1. Hollywood shot: crane shot
Take advantage of prominent parts of your house, such as stairs, to create dynamic, crane-style shots. Start recording with the Osmo Pocket in the raised position and the camera facing down. To create a Hollywood-style crane shot, move the Osmo Pocket down while simultaneously moving the camera up with the joysticks.
2. Hollywood footage: Passing through objects
For another Hollywood-style shot, instead of approaching objects with a crane, you can walk over or through them. To create a cinematic overhead view, try this technique from your balcony or vantage point.
What's great about this Osmo Pocket setup is that you can capture shots that you normally wouldn't be able to with a traditional camera. Take a unique, three-dimensional shot by moving the Osmo Pocket over an object while simultaneously rotating the camera axis.
3. Hollywood Shot: Atlanta Transition
The Atlanta transition is a super-stylized shot that lends even more creativity to your shot. First, record your camera in FPV mode and find a shooting location that has clear starting and ending edges for your shot. Take a few shots in a semi-circular motion, using the same speed and motion each time.
The edges of the recording create the transition, and you can even speed up the recording to make the transition smoother.
Osmo Pocket accessories
In order to take your recordings to a higher level, the Osmo Pocket accessories provide you with additional creative filmmaking opportunities. The Osmo Pocket Extension Kit includes a control dial, a wireless module and other tools to take full control of a professional recording.

Legal Bud Weighing on Beer’s Buzz?
Source: Cowen and Company
The Cowen Insight
In adult use cannabis markets, there are clear signs that cannabis is weighing on beer category trends, with CO, WA and OR underperforming the overall beer market by ~260 bps, YTD. Mainstream beers are the biggest drag, while craft is also slowing. Imports look the most immune.
Legal Cannabis Weighing on Beer
Herein, we examine Nielsen data on beer category trends in Colorado (Denver metro), Washington and Oregon. While these markets have collectively underperformed the overall U.S. beer market over the last ~2 years, the magnitude of the underperformance has increased notably. YTD, combined beer volumes in these markets have fallen over 2%, lagging the overall U.S. beer market by ~260 bps. This is perhaps not surprising, given that U.S. government data for the states of CO, WA and OR all show consistent growth in cannabis incidence among 18-25 year olds, coupled with declines in alcohol incidence (in terms of past month use, see Figures 3-5).
Mainstream Beer Under Siege, Craft Decelerating, Imports Impervious
Across the three legal cannabis markets that we examined, pressure on beer volumes looks to be primarily driven by underperformance from below premium (economy) and premium domestic beers (e.g., Bud Light, Coors Light). YTD, volumes for economy beers in these adult cannabis use markets are down 2.4%, while premium domestic beers are down 4.4%. Consistent with the trends that we are seeing nationally, craft beer is also slowing in these markets, as volumes are flat YTD. While growth is still evident in WA and OR, CO is in decline. The standout from a segment perspective is the imported beer category, though it is interesting to note that imported beer volumes in these geographies have lagged meaningfully the growth seen on a national basis.
Mainstream Beer. With economy and domestic premium beers under pressure from cannabis, we would expect to see continued volume pressure for the Big 2 (ABI, not covered, and TAP, Outperform). While TAP is highly exposed to these two segments (~90% of volumes), we are encouraged that the company has ample cost savings as an offset.
Craft Beer. While craft beer volumes are flat YTD in these key cannabis markets, there has been a clear deceleration in trends, consistent with what we are seeing nationally. This reinforces our cautious view on SAM (Underperform). Meanwhile, for Outperform rated BREW, pressure in craft beer has been long-apparent, but the company thankfully has the robust growth of Kona as an offset (and as a potential catalyst, given the qualified offer agreement with ABI).
Imported Beer. STZ remains our Top Pick in alcoholic beverages, as the company’s portfolio under-indexes to cannabis use (given lower levels of cannabis consumption among Hispanics and women, benefiting both the beer and wine pieces of the company’s portfolio). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Are you a professional drone operator and do you already have an authorization?
Here is what you need to know:
The European framework for operating unmanned aircraft systems (UAS or drones) entered into force with 31 December 2020, introducing a standardised regulation for flying drones in EASA member states, which include all EU member states, Switzerland, Norway and Liechtenstein. It is expected that the European regulation will become applicable in Switzerland and Iceland.
You can find extensive information on the European Framework for drones, the different categories and frequently asked questions on the EASA Website.
Be aware that drone flights are not allowed in certain areas or a special authorization is necessary before conducting a flight. You can find these areas here and in the Austro Control Dronespace App.
The ‘open’ category
The ‘open’ category is the main reference for most leisure drone activities and low-risk commercial activities.
If you comply with the relevant requirements of the subcategories (A1, A2 and A3), no operational authorisation is required before starting a flight.
The following conditions must be met:
- The drone operator has to be registered.
- All operated drones need sufficient insurance coverage.
- The drone pilot needs a proof of competency.
- The drone must be kept in visual line of sight (VLOS) at all times.
- The drone is flown at a height of no more than 120 meters above ground level.
- The drone must not carry any dangerous goods or drop any material.
Depending on the weight of your drone and the area of the operation, different requirements apply:
The ‘specific‘ category
The ‘specific’ category caters for riskier operations not covered under the ‘open’ category. To operate in this category, the drone operator requires an operational authorisation from the national aviation authority of the member state of registration before the operation takes place, following the specific operation risk assessment (SORA) process.Authorisation for EU residents:
- Authorisations issued by the national aviation authority of one member state will be valid in the rest of Europe. The drone operator is required to first receive an operational authorisation from the national aviation authority of the state of registration.
- If you want to operate your drone in Austria, you must ensure that the mitigating measures submitted in your original risk assessment are appropriate to the new operational environment you plan to operate in or update them if necessary. Further information on local conditions can be found here.
- Send an application with a copy of the operational authorisation granted by the national aviation authority of the member state of registration, including the location(s) of the intended operation and the updated mitigation measures together with the relevant form, to .
- When preparing an Article 13 application for Austro Control, the following fees should be considered in accordance with the Austro Control Fees and Charges Regulation (ACGV - Austro Control Gebühren Verordnung): Application Fee (TP 59h: 90 €), Official Act (Review of the Application 76 € per 1/2 hour) and tax (20% applicable to the total of the fees listed above). For further questions regarding the costs, please contact us.
Authorisation for Non-EU residents:
- As a non-EU resident, you are required to register with the national aviation authority of the first EU country where you intend to operate in.
- If you intend to operate in the ’specific’ category, you must apply for an operational authorisation at the national aviation authority of the member state of registration
- If you registered in Austria, you must send your application to . The relevant forms can be found in the download section. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Voting messages on milk sachets, LPG cylinders
The Vellore administration has chalked out an ambitious plan to achieve 100 per cent voting in the ensuing parliamentary elections on April 18, said Collector SA Raman.
It has been planned to conduct a marathon from Nethaji stadium, cycle rallies, release of poll awareness balloons, industrial visits to create awareness about importance of voting among women employees, visit INS Rajali to ensure all personnel exercised their franchise through postal ballot, forming human chains, signature campaigns and interacting with women members of self-help groups.
Raman started the campaign by pasting stickers on ‘100% polling’ on products sold by Vellore Aavin, gas cylinders and lorries entering and leaving the district. Also, round-the-clock election control rooms were opened at the Collectorate and in SP’s office. The administration has set up 39 static surveillance teams and an equal number of flying squads to conduct vehicle checks and supervise transport of money meant for polling. A total of 26 videography teams have been set up to video-record vehicle checks.
Also, 13 teams were formed to oversee candidates’ poll-related expenditure. Their social media accounts are also being monitored. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Diana Bishop recounts growing up in the shadow of her famous grandfather, Canadian First World War flying ace Billy Bishop.
As a child, Diana Bishop showed up one day at school with a brown paper bag. Inside was a large breastplate of some of the most precious war medals on the planet, including the Victoria Cross. They belonged to Canada’s most celebrated First World War pilot, Billy Bishop, and until her family donated them to the Canadian War Museum, they had been kept in her father’s underwear drawer. That day at school was the first time Diana realized she was not growing up in an ordinary family.
Now, after more than two decades in Canadian media, Diana Bishop looks back on her grandfather’s legacy and its profound influence over her life, and also her father’s — the only son of Billy Bishop, who had so much to live up to. Living Up to a Legend is a unique memoir that covers Billy Bishop’s legacy through the eyes of one of the people who it affected the most. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Revelstoke Mayor Gary Sulz announced that in light of his recent cancer diagnosis, he will be temporarily absent from council chambers as he battles the disease.
Sulz broke the news to council and the community Thursday, Nov. 7 at a special budget Committee of the Whole meeting, but added that the prognosis is good.
"Some of you are well aware that 2024 has been a complicated year for me regarding my health... I have been diagnosed with an extremely rare from of cancer," he said, adding that despite its rarity, it's not a death sentence. "This is not a terminal diagnosis, I want to make that clear. My surgeons, oncologists and physicians, the entire care team, are very optimistic for longevity."
Sulz is scheduled for a "very long" surgery on Nov. 12 and will be in hospital for two weeks following that and then start on the road to recovery. He did, however, reassure the community that an interim plan is in place, with council and staff well able to keep city business running smoothly.
In his absence, Coun. Austin Luciow will serve as acting mayor during November and December, while Coun. Tim Stapenhurst will take on his Columbia Shuswap Regional District and North Okanagan Hospital Board commitments. Having covered the remainder of this year, Sulz is hopeful to be back at the helm soon.
“My intention is to be back as soon as I can; however, I don’t know what that’s going to look like at this point, I will need a bit of time to heal... and I look forward to getting back, to coming back to work," he said.
"I thank you for your support, and I look forward to a great outcome and moving forward."
Any questions about council operations, or comments and support for Sulz and his family can be directed to email@example.com. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Helped improve recovery speed, sleep quality, lowered HR from avg 50 to 48 beats.
I can’t recommend this company enough. Amazing personal customer service. Jen goes above and beyond. The Earthing Matress Cover has been amazing. I will definitely be ordering more products.
I bought the sleep mat kit and universal mat. I now have deep sleep just like I used to have in my younger days. My knees have played me up for years and I can go up and down the stairs again with more energy without the fear of my knees getting injured. My knees are definitely stronger. I’ll never be without my grounding equipment now! Fantastic!!
We are sleeping better every night since I bought the sheet. Buy it you won’t regret it.
I started to use grounding products for chronic nerve pain, I always purchase from Jen knowing I am buying a quality product. They help reduce the pain and I feel far more able to cope with every day life. The earthing strap is excellent for soothing my nerve pain but, and this is why I only gave 4 stars, I don’t like being attached to the earth by wires (I need two joined straps for my thighs so two separate cords to connect). Otherwise it is excellent. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The disappearance of two Amish sisters from their family property near the Canadian border with the United States has put the Christian group's beliefs to the test.
The girl's aged 12 and seven disappeared last week from the roadside vegetable stand in front of their family home in the rural town of Oswegatchie, in new York state near the Canadian border.
After learning that the girls were missing, their father, Mose Miller, went to a non-Amish neighbor to seek help and call the emergency number 911 for him.
Amish beliefs hold much in common with the Mennonites, from whom they originated.
They interact with the world but don't deal with secular culture. They believe that secular culture pollutes their minds therefore they avoid the use of modern technology.
They also have protocols for cooking, worship, schooling, dating and interacting with non-Amish.
"They are in the world but not of the world," said Karen M. Johnson-Weiner, a professor of anthropology who has studied the Amish for years.
"They are passing through this world without becoming part of it," she said to New York Times.
Because of the Amish beliefs, it was at first difficult for the police to start with the investigation. The police needed photos of the girls to issue an alert, but the family had none.
Mose finally agreed to compromise. He allowed a sketch artist to make an illustration of the older sister, but not the younger one.
"They were so uncomfortable," Sheriff Kevin M. Wells of St. Lawrence County said. "We asked them to make a lot of difficult decisions."
The incident was a turning point in the lives of not only the Miller family but of the Amish population because of the international attention the incident stirred.
After 24 hours, the sisters were released when the suspects became frightened by news reports on the girls.
The Amish girls had reportedly been shackled to the couple's bed and were sexually assaulted, authorities said on Saturday the New York Times reported.
The parents, who have 14 children, did not express anger toward the suspects. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Every time I search for this I get pages long articles with 99% of babbling when the solution is 2 lines. I think it can be used for Windows 7, 8, 10, 11,…
NOTE: you must have connected and stored password for that wifi in the past. This trick is to see password that is already stored on your computer (in case you forgot it), NOT to find out password on router for any wifi.
So here is how to do it:
Open CMD (some say in administrator mode but for me it worked OK without it too).
Type (can be small letters) NETSH WLAN SHOW PROFILE
You will get a list of all Wi-fi networks. Let say the name of network you want is MYWIFINET.
Type NETSH WLAN SHOW PROFILE MYWIFINET KEY=CLEAR
Scroll down to Security Settings and find Key Content (I hid my password with red color).
Next to it is the wifi password you are looking for. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

There’s no mistaking the iconic hatchback shape and design of the fun-to-drive 2024 Volkswagen Golf. Since its creation in the mid-70s, the Golf has had a reputation as a speedy and performance-driven sedan that can weave in and out of crowded Chicagoland traffic. Every trim of the model provides the ability to turn on a dime and handle sharp curves at quick speeds.
Drivers can get a sports car experience without breaking the bank in the 2024 Golf GTI. For those interested in engine upgrades and increased power, the 2024 Golf R has everything motorists could possibly imagine.
Our team at Elgin Volkswagen is always available to help drivers get a better idea of which trim meets their wants and needs.
Both the Golf GTI and R embody the classic speedy hatchback design and offer up to 34.5 cubic feet of storage with the backseats folded down. GTI models are equipped with 18” wheels, a signature red trim, and X-shaped honeycomb runner lights.
While the Golf R doesn’t have as distinct of an appearance, it comes standard with larger 19” wheels and all-wheel drive handling ability. All GTI trims feature front-wheel drive handling, up to 241 horsepower, and 273 lb-ft of torque.
The powerful Golf R delivers a whopping 315 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque in comparison. Both cars have the option of a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed automatic transmission, depending on driver preference.
Every trim of the 2024 Golf GTI lives up to its reputation as a sporty and speedy hatchback. However, paying a little more for the upgraded Golf R includes a plethora of features not included in the base trim.
At our Elgin car dealer, our team goes above and beyond to ensure that drivers are getting all their desired perks and features in their new VW. With so many available upgrades and customization options, it’s important to know what you’re getting.
There’s no point waiting to get behind the wheel of an exciting 2024 Volkswagen Golf.

As the most recently eliminated man on The Bachelorette, Jason Tartick had the seat of honor at this week's Men Tell All special. I don't know if ABC producers actively assign the man closest to becoming the Bachelor in that last seat on the left, but that special placement heightened any speculation about him being a shoo-in as the franchise's next leading man. After his emotional goodbye with Becca in Thailand, Jason reunited with the Bachelorette again, and Becca and Jason's Men Tell All moment was so mature.
Called to the hot seat by Chris Harrison, Jason had to revisit his heartbreaking elimination in the public eye, and he was obviously torn about reliving those tough feelings. On one hand, he spoke his peace and still managed a graceful exit, but on the other, returning to your normal life and then being thrust back into Bachelor Nation's focal point after such an emotional experience isn't easy. Perhaps even exceeding the sweetness of his scrapbook gift, Jason then showcased his very Jack Pearson-esque nature even more at the Men Tell All with his ever so gracious reaction to watching his Bachelorette highlights. Fans might not have understood the appeal of Jason's slicked hair and Pacino persona at first, but it's safe to say that times have changed in Bachelor Nation.
While taking to Chris, Jason pointed out that he and Becca had greater insight into the other's real lives than any of the other contestants did. She invited his best friends on their first one-on-one date, and they bonded over experiences of loss in their families. Developing such an intimate relationship led to Jason feeling pretty blindsided when Becca eliminated him before the night portion of their fantasy suite date.
When Becca emerged to talk to the men, the blow The Bachelorette took to Jason's confidence shone through. He asked Becca if there was any way he should act differently in future relationships and, mirroring the respect she had for him during their goodbye, Becca said no. Aww, guys, he's ready for love! Bachelor producers, hit this guy up.
Jason also wished her well again, expressing hopes of becoming friends in the future, which is always a hit-or-miss concept with Bachelorette men. Unless your Final Rose pick is close with a certain guy, there's really no reason why you should become texting buddies with some of your other contestants. But if there's any ex that Becca should keep around as moral support, Jason is a prime choice, and if the Bachelor gig does come his way, he'll need Becca's support on hand. The two even hugged it out onstage, totally sealing the hypothetical Bachelor deal. Leads supporting leads FTW!
Fans on Twitter were here for the sweet, mature moment between the exes, and let's just say that the #JasonForBachelor campaign is real.
If Jason's Men Tell All mission was to win over any skeptics, I think it's safe to say he succeeded. ABC usually likes to think its final Bachelor decision under wraps until the end of the summer, but try to hear the nationwide sound of women tossing in last-minute Bachelor applications in hopes of the lead being Jason.
Season 14 of The Bachelorette concludes on Monday, Aug. 6, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Living in New Hampshire provides residents with stunning landscapes and breathtaking views. However, with its hilly terrain and varying topography, ensuring slope stabilization is crucial for property owners in the state. Whether you are a homeowner looking to protect your land or a developer planning a new project, understanding the importance of slope stabilization is essential.
One of the primary reasons for slope stabilization is to prevent erosion. When a slope is not properly stabilized, it can lead to soil erosion, which can have devastating effects on the environment. Eroded soil can make its way into nearby water sources, causing pollution and harming aquatic life. Additionally, erosion can also lead to landslides, putting nearby structures and properties at risk.
To prevent these issues, property owners in New Hampshire should consider implementing slope stabilization measures on their land. There are several methods that can be used to stabilize slopes, depending on the severity of the slope and the desired outcome. One common method is the use of retaining walls. Retaining walls can help to hold back soil and prevent erosion, keeping slopes stable and secure.
Another effective method for slope stabilization is the use of vegetation. Planting trees, shrubs, and grasses on slopes can help to anchor the soil in place and prevent erosion. Additionally, the roots of these plants can help to absorb excess water, reducing the risk of landslides.
In some cases, more advanced techniques may be necessary for slope stabilization. This can include the use of geogrids or other reinforcement materials to strengthen the soil and prevent erosion. These methods are often used in areas with steep slopes or unstable soil conditions.
When planning for slope stabilization on your property, it is essential to work with a professional engineer or contractor who has experience in this area. They can assess the slope and soil conditions on your land and recommend the best stabilization methods for your specific needs. Additionally, they can help you navigate any permits or regulations that may be required for this type of work.
It is also important to regularly inspect and maintain your slope stabilization measures to ensure they remain effective. Over time, weathering and erosion can weaken retaining walls, vegetation, and other stabilization methods. By inspecting these measures regularly and addressing any issues promptly, you can help to prevent costly repairs and protect your property.
In addition to protecting the environment and preventing erosion, slope stabilization can also increase the value of your property. A well-maintained and stable slope can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your land and make it more attractive to potential buyers. It can also provide peace of mind knowing that your property is protected from the risks of erosion and landslides.
Overall, slope stabilization is a crucial consideration for property owners in New Hampshire. By taking the necessary steps to stabilize slopes on your land, you can protect the environment, prevent erosion, and increase the value of your property. If you are unsure of the best methods for slope stabilization on your land, consider consulting with a professional engineer or contractor for guidance. With proper planning and maintenance, you can ensure that your property remains stable and secure for years to come. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Rent a Toyota Noah with a Driver in Entebbe, Uganda
One of the best cars to hire or rent for a smooth ride in Entebbe or Kampala city is the Toyota Noah. This minivan is not only spacious but comes with the most appealing interior facilities including the working seat belts, radio system, charging ports, fancy seat covers and pretty sliding mirrors. The fully cooling air conditioning is another highlight to appreciate. It creates the most appealing serene environment inside the vehicle.
Its seating capacity is seven people including the driver, therefore it is not hard to understand why most people recommend it as a great car for a group or family ride in Entebbe and other parts of the nation.
Once you have too much luggage, the vehicle turns out to be more perfect for four passengers. The other two seats are folded to create more room for the bags and suitcases. We only rent out the vehicle with a professional local driver. It is not available for self-drive. The vehicle is perfect for a ride in cities like Kampala, Jinja, Mbarara and more on tarmac roads. Dirt roads with potholes aren’t favorable for this vehicle.
The cost to hire the Toyota Noah with a driver is 70 USD per day without fuel only when you are within the central region. For travel to the up country, you pay a different fee. If you are really interested in this car, don’t hesitate to contact us in time for better arrangements. The driver can meet you at Entebbe Airport or hotel in Entebbe. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Next Episode of Extant is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
In a thrilling drama, Berry will play an astronaut who returns home from a year-long solo mission in space and tries to reconnect with her husband and son in their everyday life. Her experiences in space and home lead to events that ultimately will change the course of human history.
“There's only one Halle Berry and we are incredibly honored that she has chosen EXTANT to expand her illustrious career,” said Steven Spielberg. “As she does with everything she touches, she will bring a deep authenticity to her role and I very much look forward to working with her.”
“Halle is the type of award-winning actress you dream of collaborating with for an event project such as EXTANT,” said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment. “Her talent and ability to immerse herself into every performance has created memorable roles that have resonated with audiences everywhere. It’s a big coup for CBS to have Halle star in her first television series, especially with such an exciting original concept and a role layered with mystery and humanity.” (source: www.cbs.com)

America Has Lost its Moral Compass
This opinion piece was first published on allvoices on March 5: (http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/8381664-fall-of-the-american-empire).
I used to think that America has lost its moral compass. Every day there seems to be another example of immoral behavior that buries the compass that much deeper. I've now concluded we have thrown away the moral compass.
On March 4 I heard or read reports about the following incidents: (1) A fully qualified therapy professional who does sessions in the nude -- right in front of her clients; (2) A professor at Northwestern University who invited 567 enrolled students in a human sexuality class to stay after class for a live demonstration of a sexual act involving a woman, a man and an electric-powered device; and (3) The father of a 13 year-old white girl who has been bullied by black girls for the past 2 years went on the school bus to protect his daughter only to be told by the bus driver to get off the bus and, according to the father, the driver called him a 'cracker' and said she was 'going to beat my ass.'"
This is only the tip of the iceberg. There is Jared Loughner who shot up a political gathering in Tucson killing six and wounding nineteen including congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Seung Hui Cho was responsible for the killings at Virginia Tech and Major Hasan who shot up Fort Hood.
As a society, how can we make sense out of the random acts of violence and tasteless exhibitionism? We can't because there is no sense in senseless acts. There can be only one explanation and that is we have become a nation of self-absorbed, conscienceless people who pursue our own self-interests and fifteen minutes of fame without considering the consequences of our actions on society.
I want you to read about one of the causes of the decline of the Roman Empire from Roman Colosseum. info@2008. It identifies: a decline of morals, especially in the rich upper class, nobility and emperors; immoral and promiscuous sexual behavior including adultery and orgies; emperors such as Tiberius who kept groups of young boys for his pleasures; incest by Nero; brothels with forced prostitution; widespread gambling on chariot races and gladiatorial combats; massive consumption of alcohol; and the sadistic cruelty towards both men and beasts in the arena.

Welcome to Patras, a bustling port and student city, where entertainment, history and culture mingle together to create a destination filled with wonderful discoveries.
Start your exploration around the city from Aghiou Nikolaou (Ayiou Nikoláou), the most famous pedestrian street. There, 192 steps await to lead you to the Old City. A romantic stroll around its cobbled streets will reveal grand colourful neoclassic mansions, reminders of the city’s glorious past. Visit the city’s Medieval Castle, built in the second half of the 6th century A.D. on the ruins of the ancient Acropolis. Its walls enclose an area of about 22 sq.m.; it consists of a triangular external compound enhanced with towers and ramparts. Walk past the remaining buildings, and take in breathtaking views of the city.
West of the Acropolis, in the “Áno Póli” (upper city), you will find Patras Roman Odeum, which was actually built earlier than the Athens Odeum (Herodion 160 AD). The geographer Pausanias, who visited Patras in 170 AD, wrote: “It has the most beautiful decoration I have ever seen, excluding of course that of Athens”. The surrounding space is turned into an archaeological area where mosaics, sarcophagi and other ancient findings are displayed. The romantic souls should seek for the city’s landmark, the Lighthouse, in order to enjoy a breathtaking panorama of the port. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The EU needs to use natural resources more efficiently - a 30% increase in resource productivity by 2030 could boost its GDP by nearly 1% and create an extra 2 million sustainable jobs, say MEPs in a resolution voted on Thursday. But to achieve this growth, it needs binding waste-reduction targets, revamped ecodesign laws and measures to uncouple growth from resource use, they add, calling on the European Commission to table legislation by the end of 2015.
“This is a paradigm shift, a systemic change that we are facing, as well as a huge, hidden, business opportunity. It can be created only by helping a new business ecosystem to emerge” said lead MEP Sirpa Pietikäinen, after her resolution was approved by 394 votes to 197, with 82 abstentions.
“But to make this happen, we need legislative, informative, economic and cooperative actions. First, we need a set of indicators and targets. We need a review of existing legislation, as it fails to incorporate the value of ecosystem services. We need a broadening of the scope of the ecodesign directive, a renewal of the waste directive, and a special focus on certain areas like sustainable buildings”, she added.
The resolution responds to Commission communications on a “circular economy” package, tabled on 3 July 2014, jointly with a legislative proposal on waste which was withdrawn a couple of months later.
Towards zero waste
New binding waste-reduction targets could lead to the creation of up to 180,000 jobs, MEPs say. They call on the Commission to propose such targets by the end of 2015, as well as a gradual reduction of all landfill waste.
MEPs also call on the Commission to promote the creation in member states of conventions enabling the food retail sector to distribute unsold food to charity associations.
Ecodesign: make products last and eliminate planned obsolescence
MEPs urge the Commission to promote a life-cycle approach to product policy and ecodesign, with an “ambitious work programme”. This should include reviewing eco-design legislation by the end of 2016, with a view to broadening its scope and covering all product groups. They also ask the Commission to define requirements for criteria such as durability, repairability, reusability and recyclability and to draw up measures to eliminate planned obsolescence.
Systemic change to uncouple growth and use of natural resources
To tackle the problem of scarce resources, the extraction and use of resources must be reduced and the link between growth and the use of natural resources must be severed, say MEPs.
To render resource use sustainable by 2050, EU policy must require a reduction of resource consumption to sustainable levels, a greater use of renewables and phasing out toxic substances, they add.
Indicators for resource efficiency, measuring resource consumption, including imports and exports, and their use should be mandatory from 2018, says the text. MEPs call for an EU-wide resource efficiency increase target of 30% by 2030 (from 2014 levels), as well as individual targets for each member state.
The global economy uses the equivalent of one and a half planets’ worth of resources to produce global output and absorb waste and estimates put this figure at two planets’ worth of resources by the 2030s, say MEPs. Europe is more dependent on imported resources than any other region in the world and many resources will be exhausted in the relatively short term, they add.
Improving resource use could lead to substantial net savings for EU businesses, public authorities and consumers, estimated at €600 billion, or 8% of annual turnover, while also reducing total annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2-4 %. A 30% increase in resource productivity by 2030 could boost GDP by nearly 1% and create 2 million additional sustainable jobs, says the text.

ScentSicles are scented ornaments that make artificial Christmas trees “smell fresh cut”. Each year their goal is to increase awareness and in-store sales, and with a very short selling period and distinctive seasonality, it is important their presence is dominant. Pre and post campaign studies show a lift in brand awareness year after year. And even better, sales exceed goals.
The creative strategy developed by Made Movement included a studly lumberjack mountain man that mistakes artificial trees for the real ones because of the amazing scents of ScentSicles. A flagship media strategy/tactic was to take advantage of the timing of People Magazine’s annual Sexiest Man Alive issue by placing a full page spread of our lumberjack humorously and sort of seductively laying next to an artificial Xmas tree and enjoying the scent from ScentSicles. To take this even further, we let the reader enjoy the scent as well by including a Scratch N Sniff in the corner of the ad and thusly naming our placement a Scenterfold. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Boris Johnson says Emily Maitlis descended ‘into madness’ during US election
The pair butted heads several times throughout the broadcast.
Boris Johnson has said broadcaster Emily Maitlis was getting “pretty revved up” during their Channel 4 coverage of the US election, before he left the panel unexpectedly.
The former prime minister claimed he was replaced on the panel because he had to catch a flight from Washington to London, after co-host Krishnan Guru-Murthy told viewers he was “fired” for plugging his new memoir throughout the broadcast.
“I had the great privilege of spending US election night with Emily Maitlis as she began her gradual descent into madness,” Mr Johnson said in his column for the Daily Mail.
“Unfortunately, I had to leave the Channel 4 studio early – to catch a plane back from Washington to London.
“So I missed the bit where those swing states began turning Republican red, and when Emily apparently started swearing in frustration.
“But I could already see that she was getting pretty revved up.”
During the broadcast, the pair butted heads when Maitlis asked if Mr Johnson was planning to follow in Mr Trump’s footsteps regarding a political comeback, to which he suggested the answer was contained in his new memoir titled Unleashed.
Maitlis told him: “We are not all going to read your book, so just tell us, do you want to have a political comeback… You can’t actually answer a single question.”
The former prime minister responded: “By the way Emily I’ve answered all your questions all night. Currently I am blissfully engaged promoting my book Unleashed, available in all good book stores.”
After being challenged, Mr Johnson claimed: “Here is Channel 4 news, run by Ian Katz, sitting here doing the same old stunt that you tried in 2004 taking a massively skewed approach to a US election.
“I’m not standing for election here.”
The broadcast also saw Stormy Daniels, the woman at the centre of Mr Trump’s hush money trial following an affair, ask Mr Johnson: “Would you leave your daughter alone with Donald Trump?” after he had described their friendship.
“I don’t see why not… yes,” Mr Johnson said at the time, describing his experience of Mr Trump as “courteous” and “polite”.
On reflection in his newspaper column, Mr Johnson wrote: “Having thought about it I should say that I would certainly be a bit worried about leaving the President-elect alone with some of my progeny – but only out of concern for the personal safety of Donald Trump.”
A representative for Maitlis has been contacted for comment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The government has raised the avian influenza risk level in kept poultry following a recent case on a commercial farm in East Yorkshire.
All bird keepers have been urged to remain vigilant and take action to protect their birds following a further increase in the bird flu risk levels in Britain.
Disease risk level in poultry where there is suboptimal or poor biosecurity has been increased to 'medium, with low uncertainty'.
The risk level where good biosecurity is consistently applied at all times will remain as 'low with low uncertainty'.
However, for wild birds, the avian influenza risk level has been assessed as 'high' by the government.
Defra said: "Practicing good biosecurity at all times protects the health and welfare of your birds.
"And for commercial keepers, it will help protect your business from HPAI and other diseases."
It comes after highly pathogenic avian influenza was confirmed in a free range flock on a farm in East Yorkshire, making it the first bird flu case of the season.
All 24,000 birds on the infected premises will be humanely culled, Defra said on 6 November, adding that the virus strand was H5N5.
In line with World Organisation for Animal Health rules, it means Britain is no longer free from avian influenza, having just declared freedom from it in March.
However, Northern Ireland continues to have self-declared zonal freedom from highly pathogenic avian influenza.
Bird keepers in England and Wales - including those with just one bird - were told to sign up to the government's new compulsory register.
The new measure came into effect from 1 October in order to better protect the poultry sector from future avian influenza outbreaks, as well as other diseases.
In Scotland, bird keepers have until 1 December to register their details with the Scottish government. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Historic season nets Big South awards
Published 9:35 am Tuesday, April 25, 2017
Longwood University’s men’s tennis team experienced unprecedented success during the 2016-17 season that redefined the program, and the Big South Conference took notice by giving the program several prestigious awards.
The Lancers’ season came to a close last week when, as the No. 4 seed, they lost 4-1 to No. 5 Winthrop University in the quarterfinals of the Big South Championships, but their season will largely be remembered for all of the wins that they packed into it.
Earning the title of Big South men’s tennis Coach of the Year was Pierre Tafelski, who, in only his second year as Lancers head coach, led them to a 14-6 record, which represents the most wins in a season in program history.
Prior to this season, the Lancers had not won a single Big South match, but during the 2016-17 regular season, they actually went 4-3 against conference opponents. The No. 4 seed they earned in the conference tournament was the team’s best yet in its time as a member of the Big South.
“It’s definitely a great year for us,” Tafelski said, adding that it took a lot of time and consistent effort to make it happen, with more emphasis put on the process and less on outcomes.
In reference to the title of Big South Coach of the Year, Tafelski said that “beside(s) having a winning record and (having) a pretty good record overall, being nominated and then actually awarded that title — that means a lot to me because it means other coaches in the Big South are (recognizing) our work and our improvement within only about two years, so it’s definitely a great honor for me.”
In addition to making the All-Big South first team for singles and for doubles, Amadeo Blasco was named Big South men’s tennis Freshman of the Year.
“It’s great for him,” Tafelski said. “When I recruited him, I obviously had this in the back of my mind. I knew and understood the potential he had, and obviously it took a lot of hard work and a lot of growing up to do on his (behalf) throughout the year.”
Splitting time in the top three singles spots this season, Blasco finished 16-4. In doubles play, he also went 16-4, partnering with senior Florian Uffer, who was named to the All-Big South second team for singles and the conference all-academic team, in addition to sharing the first team doubles honor with Blasco.
Uffer went 12-7 this season while splitting time between No. 1 and No. 2 singles.
Tafelski praised Uffer for his development, and said his accolades were “the reward of a year and a half or two years of hard work with me.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Prince Edward Board of Supervisors’ $10,000 investment toward a cleaner county is already paying dividends with more than 1,800 lbs. of garbage already collected.
In April, the board approved County Administrator Doug Stanley’s plan to utilize VDOT crews and Piedmont Regional Jail inmates to clean up areas along roadways where litter seemed to collect and become an eyesore.
Stanley told the board about the first cleanup using contracted VDOT contracted crews during the Tuesday, May 11 monthly Board of Supervisors meeting.
The pickup along the 460 bypass and the interchanges of Hard Times Road and Tuggle Road the week of April 26 netted 413 bags of trash that weighed 1,820 lbs.
The cost for the pickup was $4,950.
The contracted pickup is an effort by the county to cleanup some problem areas of the county where litter is either thrown from cars or blown from unsecured truck cargo. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Trey Livingston has been hired as an assistant basketball coach at Hampden-Sydney College.
Livingston served as the head assistant coach for the post grad team at Advance Prep Academy in Auburndale, Florida this past season.
“We are thrilled that Trey will be joining the Tiger basketball family,” Hampden-Sydney Head Coach Caleb Kimbrough said. “Trey is a natural leader, the ultimate competitor, and is an excellent relationship builder. Trey brings an enthusiasm towards coaching that is contagious to those around him and will certainly add to our basketball culture.”
At Advance Prep, Livingston handled film breakdown and gained significant recruiting experience, including internationally. He developed practice plans and oversaw game day operations, while gaining experience against collegiate competition that included NCAA Division III, NAIA and NJCAA member institutions.
Livingston served as an assistant coach at the United States Basketball Academy in Eugene, Oregon during 2019-20. The academy included the best youth athletes from China, with a primary goal of placement on high school and collegiate teams in the United States. He taught fundamental concepts of basketball, emphasizing player and skill development through shooting, footwork and other drills, and assessed performance increase through skills and strength and conditioning tests.
Livingston is also the founder of ‘I Got Next’ Basketball Development and Training, designed for athletes to identify their weaknesses and attack them through intense, high-level and fundamental training and development, but most importantly for athletes to develop an understanding of how the training translates into actual gameplay. He worked at the Boys and Girls Club of North Central Florida in Perry, Florida during the summer of 2019, as well.
Livingston was a four-year team member and three-year team captain at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama, including the final three seasons under Kimbrough, then the head coach at Huntingdon. He helped the Hawks to a record of 13-13 overall as a senior during 2018-19, including 10-8 in the USA South, for the program’s best record in 10 years and earning the program’s first post-season appearance since 2014.
A native of Greenville, Florida, Livingston graduated from Huntingdon in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sports management. He completed an internship in game day operations at Huntingdon during the winter and spring of 2019. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
