Aircon units need to be installed by a skilled installation team. Moveable aircon is the only sort of equipment the user might install individually. Though, the guidelines given in the guidelines manual need to be followed at the time of installation. The installation of additional sorts of aircon needs the use of dedicated equipment and similarly professional tools. The cooling networks between the aircon are consist of copper tubes, which are secured by thermal lining with precise thickness. It must be recalled that water abridges inside the internal unit at the time of cooling, plus it needs to be drained into the sewage system. The finest technique of removal is by gravitation, specifically, the tubes for draining condensate need to be inclined. Occasionally, this is precisely impossible, though, which requires using an extra condensate-removal pump. The outside unit of an aircon is typically placed on the terrace or the façade, or on the rooftop of a building. At the time of installation, be sure to give service access and uphold the suitable distances from the barriers and fences stated in the installation guidelines.
Keep in mind to perform periodic technical examinations of the installed aircon if possible two times a year. Furthermore, a lot of units must be registered on a distinctive database, in which required checkups are correspondingly noted down, depending on the quantity of refrigerant. Info on the tool mandatory for registering on this record must be given by competent specialists installing aircon units. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Last Friday, new legislation known as the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act (the FAIR Act), HR 1423, was passed in the US House of Representatives. There is also a companion Senate bill, S. 610. The new legislation is aimed at giving consumers, employees, patients and those whose civil rights allegedly were violated the right to file suit in Court by invalidating any pre-dispute arbitration agreement. The FAIR Act would amend the Federal Arbitration Act to prohibit any “pre-dispute arbitration agreement or pre-dispute joint-action (class action) waiver” for any employment, consumer, antitrust or civil rights dispute. This law would overturn United States Supreme Court decisions allowing such pre-dispute agreements, including Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis, which allows pre-dispute class action waivers.
The new legislation would guaranty workers the right to go to court, which could have devastating impact on employers because it would expose them to public scrutiny and allow claims to be decided by juries rather than arbitrators. The new legislation would invalidate previously signed arbitration agreements if the dispute arises after the legislation becomes law. There is also similar legislation pending, including the Restoring Justice for Workers Act, which also would prohibit mandatory, pre-dispute arbitration in the employment context. These proposed laws must also be approved by the Republican controlled Senate, which is probably unlikely. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Keyboard-Driven Content Creation: Markdown and MDX with Vim Motions
By O Wolfson
Markdown and MDX, paired with Vim motions, offer a streamlined and efficient workflow for content creation that prioritizes keyboard use over mouse interactions. This approach is ideal for developers who prefer to keep their hands on the keyboard, minimizing interruptions and maintaining a smooth writing process.
Markdown and MDX: A Natural Fit for Keyboard-Centric Editing
Markdown is designed for simplicity, using plain text syntax to handle all styling within the document. There’s no need for interface buttons or formatting menus—everything from headers to emphasis is managed through straightforward text markers. MDX builds on this by allowing the inclusion of JSX components directly within Markdown, enabling more dynamic and interactive content.
This syntax-driven approach makes Markdown and MDX particularly well-suited for use with Vim. Vim’s modal editing system—where users can switch between different modes like insert, visual, and command—lets you navigate and manipulate text with precision and speed. Whether you’re bolding text, creating lists, or embedding links, the entire process is done in plain text, making it a natural fit for Vim's command-driven environment.
Editing in VS Code or Vim
Vim motions aren’t confined to Vim itself. VS Code, with its popular Vim extension, allows users to apply the same navigation and editing commands within a modern code editor environment. This means you can enjoy the benefits of Vim’s efficiency whether you’re in VS Code, Vim, or any other editor that supports Vim motions.
For those who prefer the lightweight, no-frills approach of Vim, editing directly in Vim remains a powerful option. Plugins like vim-markdown
further enhance the experience, making it easier to work with Markdown and MDX files while keeping your hands on the keyboard.
Markdown’s plain text styling and Vim’s keyboard-driven navigation are a perfect match for content creation. Whether you’re working in VS Code, Vim, or another Vim-enabled editor, this combination allows for a smooth, efficient workflow that keeps your focus on the content rather than the interface. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
PowerPoint: tip of the day! When you are creating a PowerPoint slideshow and you are not sure if something works, here is a simple technique to get through that hurdle: print it out, walk over to a colleague or family member, hold it up, and talk about it as you would in your presentation.
After you are done talking about it, change the subject. Talk about how their day is going or what they were doing prior. After a minute or two, ask them what ideas they remember from your slide right now. If they remember what the main idea in the slide was, then you know that the slide works. But if they only say that, “Yeah, it seems professional and smooth”, then you know that your slide is a waste of time.
So you can print a singular slide, take it down to a friend or colleague, and test if the end up remembering your message despite some small talk. If they do, you will know that you have created a good slide because it fulfills the reason for which it was created.
It does not matter whether you are done with all of your slides or not, or if it passes a litmus test that I have created. What matters is whether or not your audience remembers the message you are trying to give to them. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) – also known as drones – are growing in popularity both as a hobby and for business purposes. Businesses (think Amazon Prime Air) and industries (such as agriculture) are finding useful ways to utilize drones, and hobbyists are capturing incredible video and pictures. But, as many recent news reports have shown, improper use of drones can cause safety and privacy concerns. Earlier this month, hobby drones over a wildfire prevented firefighters from sending out helicopters with water buckets for up to 20 minutes.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently working on finalizing Small UAS rules, but that isn’t expected until the end of 2016. In the meantime, there are regulations and safety guidelines that drone users – personal, business and public entities – are expected to follow. The FAA has partnered with several associations to create Know Before You Fly, a campaign designed to promote the safe use of UAS, where more information can be found.
Recreational (Personal) Users
- What is a Recreational User? A recreational user is someone who uses the drone for personal interest and enjoyment. For example, a person uses the drone to take photographs. However, if a person tries to sell the photographs it is considered commercial use. People should check with the FAA on what is considered recreational use.
- Safety Guidelines. Know Before You Fly has put together a complete list of safety guidelines for recreational Small UAS users.
Business (Commercial) Users
- What is a Commercial Use? Any commercial use related to a business, including selling photos or videos, and providing contract or professional services (i.e., cinema photography for a film production or providing mapping or land surveying services).
- Authorization Needed. The FAA currently authorizes the use of UAS on a case-by-case basis. Check with the FAA to determine what constitutes a commercial use and the paperwork needed to be authorized.
- What is a Public Entity? A public entity includes state and federal agencies, law enforcement, fire departments, and public colleges and universities.
- Authorization Needed. A public entity must apply for a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) from the FAA. A COA can be applied for on the FAA Web site.
Drones are a constantly changing environment; more and more insurance companies are offering coverage. It is important to not only insure the drone itself, but also consider liability insurance in case a drone causes personal injury.
If you are thinking about purchasing a drone, contact Meyer Insurance and we can help you with your insurance needs. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
How To Manage Nicotine Dependence At Home
3 Min Read
Nicotine dependence is extremely strong. It is one of the most addictive substances in the world. The emerging black market for cigarettes that are emerging during this pandemic is evidence demonstrating its power over people. The rising prices do not affect the demand for this substance.
Needless to say, withdrawals caused by the lack of cigarettes or nicotine can be severe and are many, such as-
- Sweating and tingling sensations in hands and feet
- Increased irritability
- Increase in weight and appetite
- Depressed mood
These symptoms reach their highest point in 2 to 3 days after quitting. People who have battled depression as a part of their mental health problems (like bipolar disorder), may experience a brief lapse. The good news is that the worst passes over in over a week. With a firm-plan to quit and some of the below-mentioned tips for managing nicotine dependence & withdrawal, one can quit this habit.
Tips for managing nicotine dependence
Here are a few steps that one can take to ease the period of nicotine withdrawal-
NRT or nicotine replacement therapy- There are many forms of over-the-counter NRTs available such as nicotine gums, patches and medication. These can help with the craving and help with the process of quitting. Any form of NRT should be taken under the advice of a doctor.
Make a schedule- Identify the time-slots that were reserved for smoking before and plan out activities during them such as listening to music, going for a short walk, eating a healthy snack or reading a book.
Try lemonade and other citrus juices- Salted lemonade and other sour citrus juices can help with the cravings and are healthy too. Drinking these when the urge hits can be of help.
Identifying triggers- Be it stress at work, certain groups of friends or specific activities, identifying these triggers and actively taking steps to manage them is should be part of the plan.
Talk to friends and family- Talking to people who are safe and receptive can provide positive reinforcement and is definitely of great help when battling withdrawals and strong cravings.
It is important to keep reminding oneself of the reasons why they want to curb nicotine dependence. Beyond the obvious reasons of health, it can be for your friends and family, to pick up a sport or energetic hobby or for any other personal reason. As long as you make a plan for yourself and manage the withdrawal in a continuous and timely fashion, smoking will not overpower you and giving up this difficult habit will become a reality.

Prepare your taste buds for an explosion of flavor as we embark on a culinary adventure through Nigeria, landing in the vibrant city of Umuahia, Abia State. Our destination: Suya, a street food sensation that will tantalize your senses with its irresistible blend of smoky char and fiery spice.
Suya, essentially grilled meat skewers, is more than just a dish; it’s an experience deeply ingrained in Nigerian culture. Picture this: bustling night markets illuminated by flickering lanterns, the air thick with the alluring aroma of roasting meat seasoned with a secret blend of spices. Suya vendors, masters of their craft, deftly turn skewers over open flames, creating a symphony of sizzling and crackling sounds that announce its arrival.
Deconstructing the Delight: What Makes Suya So Special?
The beauty of Suya lies in its simplicity. Thin strips of beef, chicken, ram, or offal are meticulously marinated in a potent blend of spices, often passed down through generations. This fiery concoction typically includes ground peanuts, chili peppers, ginger, garlic, onions, and a hint of sweetness from suya spice, a unique blend with origins shrouded in mystery.
The meat is then threaded onto skewers, usually metal rods for durability, and grilled over smoldering charcoal embers. This slow roasting process imparts a signature smoky flavor that permeates every bite. The heat caramelizes the sugars in the marinade, creating a deliciously charred crust that yields to succulent, juicy meat within.
Beyond the Basics: A World of Suya Variations
While beef suya reigns supreme, adventurous palates can explore variations like chicken suya, renowned for its tenderness and milder spice profile, or ram suya, prized for its rich flavor and slightly gamey notes. Offal suya, often featuring liver, kidney, or heart, caters to the bolder palate seeking an intense, unique taste experience.
A Symphony of Spice: Exploring Suya Seasoning
Suya spice, the heart and soul of this dish, is a closely guarded secret amongst vendors. However, recreating its magic at home is achievable with readily available ingredients.
Here’s a glimpse into the world of suya spice:
Ingredient | Role |
Ground Peanuts | Provides a nutty base and creamy texture |
Chili Peppers (Scotch Bonnet, Cayenne) | Adds intense heat and fiery flavor |
Ginger | Contributes a warm, spicy kick and aids digestion |
Garlic | Offers pungent notes and enhances the overall savory profile |
Onions | Adds sweetness and balances the spice levels |
Suya Spice Blend | A unique combination of spices like cloves, nutmeg, cumin, and coriander, often blended with local herbs for an authentic touch |
The key to a truly remarkable suya experience lies in achieving the perfect balance of flavors. The intensity of chili peppers can be adjusted to suit individual preferences, ranging from a subtle warmth to a full-blown inferno. Experimentation is encouraged!
Serving Suya: A Celebration of Texture and Flavor
Suya is typically served piping hot off the grill, skewered or sliced for easy consumption. Accompaniments like chopped onions, tomatoes, and fresh cilantro add brightness and coolness to counterbalance the spice.
For a truly authentic experience, pair suya with a refreshing Nigerian beverage like Palm Wine, Kunu (a millet-based drink), or Zobo (a hibiscus tea).
Suya: A Culinary Icon That Captures the Essence of Nigeria
Beyond its deliciousness, Suya embodies the spirit of community and shared culinary experiences. Gathering around sizzling suya stands is a social ritual, a chance to connect with friends, family, and strangers over this beloved delicacy. Whether enjoyed on a bustling street corner or in the comfort of home, Suya offers a glimpse into the vibrant flavors and cultural tapestry of Nigeria.
So, embrace the adventure, indulge in the smoky allure, and let Suya ignite your culinary senses. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Whether you are just starting to create your estate plan or you already have one in place, it is important to remember to continue to maintain it over time. The new federal tax laws may also have an effect on your wills, trusts and other accounts, particularly if your estate is of a higher value. Your estate planning attorney and financial advisors can help you understand how these new laws will affect you and your family.
In the past, the exemption limit for estate taxes was $5.6 million. Generally, the new tax laws eliminate federal taxes on estates worth $5.6 to $11.2 million, or $22.4 million for married couples. With regards to couples, if a spouse inherits money from the other spouse within the limit, the spouse does not have to pay estate tax on that amount. This is referred to as “portability,” meaning that the limits from the deceased spouse’s estate is portable.
States that have a state estate tax may also be effected by the new federal law, but Arizona is not one of them.
Even if you are unaffected by the new tax laws, it is important you make sure that your estate documents are fully customized to your wishes. Make sure that your beneficiaries are up to date on all your accounts and that your power of attorney documents include specific instructions on how to manage your finances if you become physically or mentally unable to do so yourself. Experts suggest you should meet with an advisor or attorney to review and update your estate plan at least every three years or after any major changes in your life.

Jessica Simpson is giving fans an even deeper look into her personal life in the new paperback edition of her memoir, Open Book.
In this version of the bestseller, the singer included excerpts from her old journals that cover some of the hardest periods of her life, including her divorce from Nick Lachey and her struggles with body image.
In 2009, Simpson wrote about the infamous "mom jeans" incident.
"Today my heart breaks because people say I'm fat," she admitted at the time. "Why does the cruel opinion of this world get to me? Last week I read back to my journals from 1999 and I beat myself up about how fat I am before I even gave the world a chance to."
Underneath a photo of the diary entry, the fashion designer reflected on her old words. "I hate that I was treated as an object to be tossed around like a rag doll, but I smile to see me talking to myself back and forth across all these years," she noted. "It's like I knew this was the purpose all along: you reading this right now in this very moment."
Though the star has now learned to embraced her figure no matter the size, she admitted to PEOPLE that the criticism she received still affects her to this day.
"There is a wonderful movement for body positivity now and the response to that portion of my story has been overwhelmingly supportive," she revealed. "I don't think people always realized that there was a human being, a beating heart and working eyes with actual feelings behind those headlines and that words can hurt and stay with you for a lifetime."
In her book, Simpson also revealed she started taking diet pills at age 17 when music exec Tommy Mattola told her she had to lose weight.
"I spent so many years beating myself up for an unrealistic body standard that made me feel like a failure all of the time," she recalled. "I am still a work in progress when it comes to self-criticism but now I have the tools to quiet those voices in my head when they speak up." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Personal tax - when is income tax and capital gains tax payable?
Under self assessment an individual is responsible for ensuring that their tax liability is calculated and any tax owing is paid on time. We summarise the tax payment rules and penalties for failing to pay on time. If you live in the Dorset area we, at Morris Lane, can prepare your tax return on your behalf and advise you on payments that may need to be made to HMRC.
Payment of tax
The UK income tax system requires the payer of certain sources of income to deduct tax at source which removes the need for many taxpayers to submit a tax return or make additional payments. This applies in particular to employment income. Interest is now received gross of tax but the savings allowance removes most taxpayers from the need to pay tax on such income. However deduction of tax at source is not possible for the self employed or if someone has substantial investment income. As a result we have a payment regime in which the payments will usually be made in instalments.
The instalments consist of two payments on account of equal amounts:
- the first on 31 January during the tax year and
- the second on 31 July following.
These are set by reference to the previous year's net income tax liability (and Class 4 NIC if any).
A final payment (or repayment) is due on 31 January following the tax year.
In calculating the level of instalments any tax attributable to capital gains is ignored. All capital gains tax is paid as part of the final payment due on 31 January following the end of the tax year.
A statement of account similar to a credit card statement is sent to the taxpayer periodically which summarises the payments required and the payments made.
Sally's income tax liability for 2022/23 (after tax deducted at source) is £8,000. Her liability for 2023/24 is £10,500. Payments will be:
First instalment (50% of 2022/23 liability) |
Second instalment (50% of 2022/23 liability) |
Final payment (2022/23 liability less sums already paid) |
There will also be a payment on 31 January 2025 of £5,250, the first instalment of the 2024/25 tax year (50% of the 2023/24 liability).
Late payment penalties and interest
Using the late payment penalties HMRC may charge the following penalties if tax is paid late:
- A 5% penalty if the tax due on the 31 January is not paid within 30 days (the 'penalty date' is the day following)
- A further 5% penalty if the tax due on 31 January is not paid within 5 months after the penalty date
- Additionally, there will be a third 5% penalty if the tax due on 31 January is not paid within 11 months after the penalty date.
These penalties are additional to the interest that is charged on all outstanding amounts, including unpaid penalties, until payment is received.
Nil payments on account
Where there is only a modest amount of income tax due, after tax deducted at source has been accounted for, then the two payments on account will be set at nil. This applies if either:
- income tax (and NIC) liability for the preceding year - net of tax deducted at source and tax credit on dividends - is less than £1,000 in total or
- more than 80% of the income tax (and NIC) liability for the preceding year was met by deduction of tax at source and from tax credits on dividends.
Claim to reduce payments on account
If it is anticipated that the current year's tax liability will be lower than the previous year's, a claim can be made to reduce the payments on account. We can advise you whether a claim should be made and to what amount.
How we can help
If you live in the Dorset area we can prepare your tax return for personal tax self assessment on your behalf and advise on the appropriate payments on account to make.
Please do contact us at Morris Lane for help. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mortgage interest rates are near record lows again. This can mean great deals for homebuyers and great savings for homebuyers. Some lenders will even start advertising rates that are at least a half point lower than the average national rate. Buyers and refinancers should be aware that these ultra-low rate deals come with strings attached. In some cases, it may actually be better to choose a higher rate option. Here’s what you need to know:
In order to get some of these rock-bottom rate deals, borrowers are often required to pay discount points to the lender. One point is equal to 1% of the mortgage amount. If you are buying or refinancing a home with a mortgage of $250,000, one point would be $2,500. Let’s say you are offered an interest rate of 3% with 2 points. You would have to pay $5,000 up front on that loan amount for points, in addition to the closing costs.
Both refinance and home purchase mortgages come with closing costs. On average, closing costs range between 2% to 5% of the mortgage amount. With the $250,000 mortgage example above, that means that closing costs could be anywhere from $5,000 to $12,500. Add discount points to that amount, and that uber-low rate may not sound quite as appealing.
Interest Rate Savings
When considering which interest rates offer to accept, its important to take all the extra fees and costs into consideration. Let’s take the example of a $250,000 at 3% with 2 discount points and $5,000 in closing costs. Let’s say you have another option of 3.5% with no points and $5,000 in closing costs. The monthly mortgage payment for the 3% loan would be roughly $1,055 while the 3.5% loan payment would be $1,120, a difference of $65 per month. However, it would actually take 73 months – more than six years – to actually realize those savings with the lower rate. That’s because of all the upfront money you had to pay. With the higher rate you keep that money in your pocket and can do other things with it.
Because it can take so long to really start seeing the savings of the low rate/high point loan, it is important to know how long you plan to stay in your home. In the above scenario, you’d have to stay more than six year for the 3% low to make sense. Paying points can definitely be worth and help you save thousands overall, but only if you can stay in your current home for a long period of time.
While unbelievably low rates can be tempting, just remember to look at the fine print. Those rates almost always come with higher fees and costs. Be sure to compare the annual percentage rate (APR) between loans to figure out the true cost to you. Sometimes, paying a slightly higher rate with lower fees will make more sense for your situation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Moving to Wilmington, North Carolina after living in NYC for over 16 years seems like a big deal, but it wasn’t. Change is a good thing. Life is good. You find all sorts of amazing people and things here you can’t find up North. For one, people are nice and swimming in the ocean I don’t bump into dirty diapers or needles. I said it. :]
Anyway, I decided I am going to start to highlight my new life in the South and the people I run into. Tonight’s southern star is a bartender at Front Street Brewery who wowed us with his glass magic. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It’s known that excessive alcohol use over time can lead to the development of several chronic diseases, but a new study suggests that even moderate drinking can lead to such health issues – as well as many that were previously not linked to alcohol.
The new research, published on June 9 in the journal Nature Medicine, analyzed the health effects of alcohol use on men in China. The team from Oxford University in the U.K. and Peking University in China found that alcohol consumption increased the risks of 61 diseases, including more than 30 diseases not previously established as alcohol-related, such as cataracts, gastric ulcers, and gout.
"Alcohol consumption is adversely related to a much wider range of diseases than has previously been established, and our findings show these associations are likely to be causal," Pek Kei Im, a research fellow at Oxford Population Health and lead author of the paper, said in a statement.
Known long-term health risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption include high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, certain cancers, weakened immune system, depression, anxiety, and learning and memory problems, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
Worldwide, the harmful use of alcohol is attributed to about 3 million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. The study authors noted how consumption is increasing in many low- and middle-income countries, including China.

The research team used data from over 512,000 adults across diverse urban and rural areas in China. Study participants were interviewed about their lifestyle and behaviors, including detailed alcohol drinking patterns, the team said.
About a third of men said they drank alcohol regularly – at least once a week – while only 2% of women reported the same.
The researchers assessed hospital records over a period of about 12 years to better understand the possible health effects of alcohol use. They also did a genetic analysis to clarify whether alcohol intake was responsible for causing disease.
Among the 207 diseases studied, alcohol consumption was linked to higher risks of 61 diseases in men. This included 28 diseases previously established by the World Health Organization as alcohol-related, such as liver cirrhosis, stroke, and several gastrointestinal cancers.
Meanwhile, 33 diseases not previously established as alcohol-related were identified as higher risk – including cataracts and some fractures.
Men who had ever drank alcohol regularly were found to have a significantly higher risk of developing any disease and experience more frequent stays in hospital, compared with men who had only drunk alcohol occasionally, the team said.
Certain drinking patterns, such as drinking daily, heavy "binge" drinking episodes, or drinking outside mealtimes, particularly increased the risks of certain diseases like liver cirrhosis, the study found.
In East Asian populations, there are common genetic variants that greatly reduce alcohol tolerability, according to the study authors. This is because they cause an "extremely unpleasant flushing reaction after drinking alcohol."
People with such genetic variants tend to drink less alcohol, and because these genetic variants are unrelated to other lifestyle factors – such as smoking or socioeconomic status – the researchers said they can use this information to more accurately assess the cause-and-effect relationships of alcohol with a wide range of diseases.
"This study provides important causal evidence of the scale of alcohol-related harms, which is critical to inform prevention strategies in different countries," Professor Zhengming Chen, a professor of epidemiology at Oxford Population Health and senior author, said in a statement.
An unrelated study, published in March, found that drinking a glass or two of wine a day will not help one to live longer – challenging the notion of benefits from moderate alcohol consumption.
Previous research has suggested that moderate drinking, meaning two drinks or fewer in a day for men and one drink or less in a day for women, may help prevent heart disease or even a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The analysis, published on March 31 in JAMA Network Open, reviewed more than 100 studies published as far back as 1980, involving nearly 5 million people in total.
It found that there was a "significantly increased risk" of death among female drinkers who drank 25 or more grams of alcohol per day, which is about two 5-ounce glasses of wine, two 12-ounce beers, or two cocktails containing 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits.
The same significantly increased risk was found for males who drank 45 or more grams of alcohol per day, or slightly over three standard drinks.

How University Setting Influences Car Choices
Choosing to have a car while attending university goes beyond mere convenience. This choice is shaped by a variety of factors including transportation alternatives, infrastructure, and individual likes and dislikes.
The decision to own a car as a university student isn't just about convenience—it's about navigating. This decision is influenced by a complex network of transportation options, infrastructure, and personal preferences.Whether you're in the middle of a city full of skyscrapers or a rural area with undulating hills, knowing the ins and outs of transportation may have a big influence on your educational experience. Let's delve into the influential factors that shape car ownership decisions in urban versus rural university settings.
Assessing Transportation Options: Urban vs. Rural
Public Transportation Availability and Reliability
In the city area, the heart beat of public transportation is robust and regular. Subways, buses, and trains cross the town. They impart students a convenient and dependable means of having a round. Contrastingly, in rural areas, public transportation options may be sparse. There are infrequent bus services and constrained routes. With the advent of the internet, life has undergone a transformative shift towards convenience and accessibility. Today there are a plethora of services available online. It revolutionized the way we approach various aspects of our lives. You can choose different options from online education platforms offering courses tailored to individual needs to virtual medical consultations providing timely assistance. Moreover, for students seeking assistance with their essays, help is readily accessible through platforms like EduBirdie. Check this site here you can find expert guidance and essay writing help to navigate through academic challenges seamlessly. Online services are incredibly convenient because they don't require physical presence and may be accessed at any time or place. Furthermore, these services are quite flexible and are capable of meeting different needs and tastes. The digital landscape has become a hub of resources at our fingertips. Unfortunately, not all services can be accessed online. Learning in college requires physical presence. Owning a car becomes almost a necessity for reaching campus, grocery stores, or medical appointments on time.
Convenience and Cost-effectiveness of Alternative Modes
Students must consider both convenience and cost-effectiveness. Weigh the transportation options.In urban areas parking fees and congestion may skyrocket. Opting for public transport or biking could save both time and money. Conversely, in rural areas, where distances are greater and public transit less accessible, owning a car may offer unparalleled convenience, albeit at a higher cost. It's essential for students to evaluate their unique circumstances and balance the convenience against the financial implications.
Impact of Infrastructure on Car Ownership
Quality of Roads, Parking, and Traffic Congestion
The quality of infrastructure significantly impacts car ownership trends. Urban settings often grapple with congested roads and limited parking, making car ownership more of a hassle than a convenience. On the other hand, rural areas may boast smoother roads and ample parking space, incentivizing students to invest in a vehicle. Factors like traffic congestion and parking availability weigh heavily on the decision-making process, shaping the transportation landscape of each setting.
Access to Amenities
Aside from transportation, students' automobile ownership selections are heavily influenced by proximity to important services. It is convenient when you can visit grocery stores, shopping malls, and healthcare facilities anytime you need. In cities with easily accessible amenities, students might feel less pressure to purchase a car. On the other hand, owning a car is frequently necessary for everyday errands and emergencies in remote locations with little or no infrastructure. In each situation, the perceived value of owning a car is influenced by how accessible and close these facilities are.
Cheap Car Options for Students
Suitable Car Models
There are several models for students seeking affordable car options. Follow the unique needs of urban and rural settings. In urban areas compact cars are a must. Pay attention to Toyota Yaris or Honda Fit. They offer fuel efficiency and maneuverability through congested streets. In contrast, rural students may lean towards robust vehicles. Check Subaru Impreza or Ford Fiesta. They are ideal for navigating rugged terrains and inclement weather conditions.
Tips for Affordable Purchases
When it comes to purchasing a car on a budget, savvy students explore various avenues for cost savings. From scouring online marketplaces and auctions to exploring local dealerships and negotiating for discounts, opportunities abound for securing a cheap yet reliable vehicle. Additionally, considering pre-owned cars or lease-to-own options can further alleviate financial burdens while ensuring access to essential transportation.
The influence of urban versus rural university settings on car choices extends beyond mIt includes budgetary considerations, infrastructure, and accessibility. Students can enrich their academic experience without going over budget by researching reasonable car options and learning about the intricacies of transportation in each environment. Having a clear grasp of one's needs and possibilities is the first step towards achieving ideal mobility, whether one is traveling via the calm rural roads or the busy city streets. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The following insight was written by Joey McCord, Engineering Leader.
I wanted to share some insights on the role of a CTO in the daily standup. As a CTO, I’ve learned that finding the right balance of involvement can greatly impact team collaboration and productivity. So, let’s dive into the factors that influence the CTO’s level of engagement in the daily standup.
Understanding the Purpose.
Before we begin, let’s remind ourselves of the purpose behind the daily standup. It’s all about fostering collaboration, keeping everyone in sync, and addressing any obstacles that might hinder progress. The standup is a short and focused meeting where the team comes together to share updates and align on priorities.
Factors That Influence Involvement.
The level of CTO involvement in the daily standup can vary depending on several factors. Team size, project stage, and organizational goals all come into play. For instance, in smaller teams, the CTO might be more hands-on, while in larger organizations, they may choose to delegate and empower team leads to drive the discussions.
1. Balancing Strategic Guidance and Tactical Support
A CTO brings both a strategic and tactical perspective to the daily standup. From a strategic standpoint, they ensure that the team’s work aligns with the broader technology and business objectives. At the same time, they provide tactical support by addressing technical challenges and removing any roadblocks that hinder progress.
2. Active Listening and Guidance
Regardless of the level of involvement, active listening is a vital skill for a CTO in the daily standup. By actively listening to the team’s updates, challenges, and ideas, the CTO can provide valuable guidance and support when needed. This ensures that the team has the necessary resources and direction to succeed.
3. Flexible Adaptation
The CTO’s involvement in the daily standup can evolve over time. As projects progress and the team gains momentum, the CTO might choose to take a step back and empower team members to take the lead. This flexibility allows the CTO to adapt to the changing needs of the team and organization, promoting autonomy and growth.
4. Collaborative Growth and Success
Ultimately, the CTO’s role in the daily standup is about fostering collaboration, growth, and success. By striking the right balance between strategic guidance and tactical support, the CTO can contribute to effective standups that drive productivity and alignment within the team.
Wrapping up, the CTO’s involvement in the daily standup is influenced by various factors, such as team size, project stage, and organizational goals. By actively listening, providing guidance, and adapting to evolving needs, the CTO can contribute to a collaborative and productive standup environment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Nearly 800 participants from 80 communities around the world came to Israel this week with Chabad’s Rohr Jewish Learning Institute, as the culmination of a six-session adult-education course titled “Survival of a Nation: Exploring Israel Through the Lens of the Six-Day War.” Tens of thousands of participants completed the course in more than 400 locations worldwide.
On the trip—the largest Chabad has brought to Israel this year—participants met with local Israelis and soldiers, studied about their religious connection to the land, and heard from leading politicians and personalities, including Yom Kippur War hero Avigdor Kahalani, Nobel Prize in chemistry winner Aaron Ciechanover and U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.
Friedman gave a short, Talmudic-based talk on the connection of the Jewish people to Israel.
In classic Chabad style, the group paraded a Torah that was saved by a 14-year-old boy from a burning synagogue in Hamburg, Germany, on Kristallnacht (“The Night of Broken Glass,” Nov. 9-10, 1938) at the Cave of the Patriarchs (also called the Cave of Machpelah) in the city of Hebron. The Torah was recently donated to the JLI, which restored it and loans it to other Jewish communities.
In addition, the group gave awards to two wounded veterans: Dr. Asael Lubotzky, who despite being permanently disabled by wounds he suffered in the Second Lebanon War went on to become a practicing physician; and Yarin Ashkenazi, who was wounded four times during his military service and fought to return to his unit after each injury.
Founding director of JLI Rabbi Efraim Mintz called the trip “an immersive learning experience to explore the soul of the country and to try to understand the deep connection we all have with the Holy Land.”
Mintz added that “our goal is to get to know the country, but also the people who live here and the brave young people who protect our cherished homeland.”
Rabbi Yankie Denburg, co-director of Chabad Jewish Center in Coral Springs, Fla., who along with his wife, Chana, brought 18 members of his community on the trip, described the tour as “transformative” for his group. “Experiencing the Holy Land brings home everything we’ve been studying and praying about,” he said.
The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute’s programs, available in seven languages, are currently offered in more than 1,000 communities in 27 countries. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In some types of leukemia – most often acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) – white blood cells are greatly overproduced, causing a condition known as hyperleukocytosis. In hyperleukocytosis, white blood cells are so thick that they interfere with normal blood flow, causing symptoms in the lungs, brain, eyes, and small blood vessels. In severe cases, hyperleukocytosis can lead to heart failure and serious lung or brain damage.
Leukapheresis is a short-term treatment for hyperleukocytosis that is often performed on an emergency basis. Leukapheresis does not treat the underlying problem – chemotherapy and other medications are needed to kill cancer cells. Leukapheresis limits the amount of white blood cells in the blood, working quickly to relieve symptoms and prevent damage before chemotherapy has had time to work.
What does it involve?
Undergoing leukapheresis is somewhat like receiving a blood transfusion. Two intravenous lines (IVs) will be placed in the arm, or a single large IV called a central line will be placed near the neck. Blood will travel out of one IV into a machine that filters out white blood cells. Filtered blood will then return to your body through the other IV.
Leukapheresis must be received in a dedicated clinical setting. A leukapheresis treatment requires between one and three hours.
The goal of leukapheresis is to reduce levels of white blood cells in the blood, preventing damage and relieving symptoms caused by hyperleukocytosis.
Studies show that leukapheresis is a safe and effective procedure that works quickly to reduce dangerous levels of white blood cells until the effects of chemotherapy manifest.
Leukapheresis may cause a drop in levels of calcium in the blood, causing numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or mouth. Some people experience muscle spasms. Your doctor may give you a calcium supplement when receiving leukapheresis to avoid these side effects.
Some people may experience dizziness, fainting or nausea during plasma exchange. Eating a meal within two hours before undergoing leukapheresis and drinking extra water help combat these side effects.
A very small number of people experience infections or bleeding due to leukapheresis.

State May Stop Water Deliveries To Valley Farmers
Sacramento, CA — Citing the ongoing drought, the California Water Resources Control Board will vote to temporarily stop farmers from taking water from the state’s major rivers and streams.
The board will vote on an “emergency curtailment” order on August 3. The state-imposed notable restrictions on agricultural interests during the drought of 2014/15, but did not do a blanket curtailment order such as this. There would be exceptions for drinking water and other health and safety needs.
Governor Gavin Newsom has issued a drought state of emergency declaration for 50 of California’s 58 counties and has asked everyone to voluntarily cut usage by 15-percent. The water board’s vote would mark the first notable step during the drought to mandatorily limit usage. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Amazon to invest an additional $4 billion in AI startup Anthropic
Amazon is investing an additional $4 billion in the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic as major technology companies rush to fund generative AI.
This will bring Amazon’s total investment in Anthropic – which began last year – to $8 billion. Anthropic said the Seattle-based tech giant will maintain its position as a minority investor in the startup, which was founded by former leaders of the Microsoft-linked OpenAI.
Under the deal, Amazon said the San Francisco-based Anthropic will now name Amazon’s cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services, as its “primary training partner.” It will also use two AWS chips to train and deploy its future foundational models, the advanced systems that underpin general-purpose AI services like ChatGPT and Google’s Bard chatbot.
“We’ve been impressed by Anthropic’s pace of innovation and commitment to responsible development of generative AI, and look forward to deepening our collaboration,” Matt Garman, the AWS CEO, said in a statement included in Amazon’s announcement.
The relationship between Big Tech companies and AI startups has received scrutiny from regulators in the U.S. and abroad. However, Amazon got some good news in September when Britain’s competition watchdog said Anthropic’s revenue and its combined market share with Amazon in Britain were not big enough to require an in-depth investigation under the country’s merger rules. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
While being a pivotal part of the emo scene that flooded American rock music in the 90s, the original legacy of Illinois-based band Braid was to be short lived. After three albums together, the financial future of the group came into doubt and they eventually called it quits in 1999. But after a brief reformation in 2004, Braid have officially been back together since 2011 and have finally delivered their fourth studio album 'No Coast', their first in nearly 16 years.
But while their original catalogue of music is so ingrained in that nostalgic 90s sound of throwaway anthems and quaint personal journeys, this new release has looked for a more contemporary sound and style that will no doubt help the band regain a new, younger fanbase for this century. 'No Coast' has this crossover appeal of what the band and the scene were doing nearly twenty years ago with what has proven popular recently to produce a record that could be enjoyed by light rock fans of any age. It has an almost timeless feel that makes you realise that while music has always looked to evolve and stay relevant, there is enough inspiration to be taken from the past few decades to allow a band like this to stay relevant and create a body of work that still fits in today.
It may not be the most triumphant of comebacks we have seen this year but certainly keeps a competent middle ground that will appease their fans of yesteryear while also bringing a younger crowd to their attention. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
When they first emerged, Watford's The Staves, comprised of sisters Jessica, Camilla, and Emily Staveley-Taylor, were greeted as one of the more impactful names arriving that year. With a distinctive folk influence to their direction, the band quickly began to absorb a more multifaceted aesthetic as the years went by, transforming them into this wildly adventurous name doing the rounds. But with now Emily departing the group to focus on raising her child, the remaining sisters continue forward with their fourth studio album 'All Now', a record that builds upon those inventive pursuits once again.
What always made The Staves such an impassioned group was their distinctive three-part harmonies, but even when reduced to two, 'All Now' still manages to follow up their catalogue with style and finesse at every turn. Embarking on a far more euphoric identity this time around, adopting a broader and more textured production behind their illuminating vocals, this new collection sees them return in renewed spirits and deliver one of their most captivating LPs to date.
While there was always going to be apprehension around the loss of one of their founding members, The Staves have continued their pursuits onward in fine form from start to finish. Creating this almost revitalised approach to their sound, 'All Now' feels like a new beginning for the duo, brimming with bright and tantalising ideas from beginning to end. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dating in high-status circles follows a distinct set of social norms and expectations. This world, where personal achievements and social standings converge, often brings with it a distinct set of challenges and considerations. Understanding these nuances is key to navigating the intricate world of high-status dating, where the stakes are as high as the standards and expectations of those involved.
The Dynamics of High-Status Dating
High-status dating often operates under a different set of social rules and expectations. Individuals who find themselves in this dating scene may encounter unique interactions shaped by wealth, status, and social circles. Unlike traditional dating, high-status dating can involve more strategic thinking and a deeper understanding of social dynamics. For instance, events and gatherings may serve as important networking opportunities, where the ability to engage in sophisticated conversation and present oneself confidently is key.
Communication and Expectations
Effective communication in high-status dating requires clarity and honesty, coupled with a degree of tact and sensitivity. Individuals often expect their potential partners to understand and respect their lifestyle, which may include commitments and responsibilities that differ significantly from those in other social strata. This means being aware of the time constraints and pressures faced by high-status individuals and being prepared to navigate these challenges gracefully.
The Role of Appearance and Etiquette
Appearance and etiquette play a significant role in high-status dating. Dressing appropriately for different occasions and understanding the subtleties of high-society etiquette can greatly impact the success of social interactions. Attention to detail, from attire to manners, often holds more weight in these circles, as it reflects not only on the individual but also on their understanding of the social codes inherent in high-status circles.
Managing Relationships and Social Circles
Maintaining a relationship while navigating high-status social circles requires a careful balance. It’s important to develop a sense of independence and self-confidence, as relationships in this context may involve frequent separations due to travel or business commitments. Additionally, understanding how to integrate oneself into existing social circles while maintaining one’s own identity is important.
The Impact of Wealth and Status on Personal Connections
Wealth and status can significantly influence the nature of personal connections in high-status dating. It’s important to be aware of the potential for relationships to be influenced by factors such as financial stability and social standing. This awareness can help individuals approach dating with a more grounded perspective, seeking connections based on genuine compatibility and shared values rather than superficial factors.
Dating a Wealthy Individual: A Practical Perspective
For those looking to date a rich guy, it’s essential to approach the situation with a clear understanding of what it entails. Dating someone with significant wealth involves not just an attraction to their lifestyle but also an appreciation for the responsibilities and expectations that come with it. This might include understanding their work commitments, being comfortable in luxurious settings, and interacting confidently with a diverse range of people from various social and economic backgrounds.
Challenges and Misconceptions
High-status dating is not without its challenges. Common misconceptions include the idea that wealth and status can guarantee happiness or that high-status individuals are inherently different in their personal needs and desires. It’s important to recognize that, despite the external trappings of wealth, the core principles of a successful relationship – such as mutual respect, communication, and shared values – remain the same.
Navigating Public Perception and Privacy
In high-status dating, managing public perception and maintaining privacy can be as important as the relationship itself. Individuals in such relationships often find themselves in the public eye, whether through media coverage or social media scrutiny. This visibility can place additional pressure on the relationship, making it essential to establish boundaries and strategies for dealing with public attention. Couples need to communicate openly about how much of their relationship they are comfortable sharing and how they will handle external opinions and intrusions.
Balancing Personal and Professional Lives
Another key aspect of high-status dating involves balancing personal relationships with demanding professional lives. High-status individuals often have careers that require extensive travel, long hours, and a high level of commitment. This can lead to challenges in maintaining a regular schedule for personal interactions and can put a strain on relationships. Partners in this dating scene need to be adaptable, understanding, and supportive of each other’s professional commitments while finding ways to ensure that their relationship remains a priority.
Understanding the social nuances of high-status dating involves recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities that come with it. From communication and etiquette to managing relationships within certain social circles, individuals must navigate various factors. By maintaining a grounded perspective and focusing on genuine personal connections, individuals can foster meaningful relationships that transcend wealth and status. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

NEW YORK – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, has awarded an $8.6 million contract to Great Lakes Dredge and Dock of Oak Brook, Illinois, to carry out maintenance dredging at three discontinuous reaches along the Hudson River Federal Navigation Channel between Coxsackie and Albany.
The dredging will focus on shoals in the channel identified through hydrographic surveys and remove roughly 220,000 cubic yards of material from the Nutten Hook (River Mile 124), Stuyvesant (River Mile 128) and Staats Point (River Mile 138) sections of the Hudson River to assure safe and economical use of the Hudson River by shipping interests.
"This Hudson River dredging is important for maintaining safe navigation along this important channel," said New York District Commander Col. Paul Owen. "This work will help ensure continued safe passage for the increasing number of vessels moving between New York City and port facilities in and around the state’s capital in Albany."
The dredged material from this project will be placed in the federally owned upland placement site on Houghtaling Island, New Baltimore, New York (River Mile 130).
The Contractor is expected to begin construction of the upland placement site during September and commence dredging in October. All dredging will be completed by the end of this year, with any remaining work in the placement site completed by the end of summer in 2015.
Maintenance dredging of the Hudson River Federal Navigation Channel is performed every two years at various locations where shoaling has reduced the depth of the river and adversely impacted safe navigation.
The work is fully federally funded, with partial funds coming from the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, also known as the Hurricane Sandy Relief Bill.
These figures show the areas of the Hudson River where maintenance dredging will be performed, including the Nutten Hook area, just north of Coxsackie; the Stuyvesant area, just north of Stuyvesant; and the Staats Point area, between Castleton-on-Hudson and Albany.

Even a food innovation idea that’s way “out there” should be given its due, according to Olaf Mertens, a chef professor and researcher with the Food & Beverage Innovation Centre (FBIC).
Working with students in class and on innovation projects, Mertens says he steers them through the process, keeping them organized and on task.
Mertens has brought that innovative spirit to student researchers through the Innovations in Local Food Competition. In 2015, six student teams from the Culinary Innovation and Food Technology (CIFT) program entered the competition to gain experience in product development while promoting partnerships with the local game meat industry.
Mertens currently teaches in two programs, Culinary Innovation and Food Technology (Co-op) and Culinary Management (Co-op). He is currently also a Team Coach for the Junior Canadian Culinary Team, 2013-2016, and has published two cookbooks. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tata communications inaugurated its 44th data centre in Greater Kailash, New Delhi. This data centre is located in the heart of the city and is an integral part of Tata Communications’ overall objective to strengthen its global data centre footprint.
The company plans to invest more than USD $200 million towards doubling capacity in India from 500,000 sq. ft. to 1,000,000 sq. ft. over a period of three years.The launch of this data centre positions Tata Communications as a truly pan-India player in the data centre business with continued commitment to growth in this sector. These data centres offer a complete array of configuration choices, including shared rack space, full cabinets and cage space colocation along with unlimited scalability in the future. Centrally managed, these data centres provide customers with optimal performance, reduced total cost of ownership, security and effective utilisation of resources.
Benoy CS, Director, ICT Practice, Frost & Sullivan, says, “With an increase in the uptake of cloud services, datacentre has become a critical element in every enterprises’ infrastructure strategy. The third party datacentre market is poised to grow very fast as many enterprises are now strategising to avail IT Infrastructure ‘as a service’ rather than investing in huge captive datacentres. Tata Communications has emerged as the Indian Third Party Datacentre Service Provider of the Year 2014 with its extensive product portfolio, channel strategy and presence across the country. Its datacentre solutions enable enterprises to move towards a dynamic infrastructure by leveraging best practices and technologies, thereby helping them to manage costs, improve operational performance and also quickly respond to changing business needs. It also offers tremendous scalability and dynamic responsiveness while providing an energy efficiency and resilient infrastructure. ”
Rangu Salgame, Chief Executive Officer, Growth Ventures, Tata Communications, at the inauguration, said, “We are witnessing a surge in data generation and storage needs like never before. Enterprises are contending with trends such as bring your own device (BYOD), social networking, mobile, analytics and cloud – and Tata Communications is well placed to partner with them through these exciting times. Our global data centre portfolio underpinned with our unmatched network reach provides the infrastructure backbone that our customers can leverage to their advantage. This, our third data centre in Delhi, has been designed and constructed with a ‘no-compromises’ approach: right from LEED Gold certification for the building to free air cooling and scalability to 200,000 sq. ft. and 10 MW.”
As part of its global expansion initiative, to expand its global data centre footprint, Tata Communications recently entered into strategic partnerships with NEXTDC in Australia, Interxion in Germany and Austria, as well as Pacific Link Telecom (PLT) in Malaysia. These partnerships enable Tata Communications to extend its current data centre offerings in these regions and to deliver a uniform customer experience across geographies.

Attitudes of patients and surgeons towards sham surgery trials: a protocol for a scoping review of attributes to inform a discrete choice experiment.
Wall L., Hinwood M., Lang D., Smith A., Bunzli S., Clarke P., Choong PFM., Dowsey MM., Paolucci F.
INTRODUCTION: In order to properly evaluate the efficacy of orthopaedic procedures, rigorous, randomised controlled sham surgery trial designs are necessary. However, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for surgery involving a placebo are ethically debated and difficult to conduct with many failing to reach their desired sample size and power. A review of the literature on barriers and enablers to recruitment, and patient and surgeon attitudes and preferences towards sham surgery trials, will help to determine the characteristics necessary for successful recruitment. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This review will scope the diverse literature surrounding sham surgery trials with the aim of informing a discrete choice experiment to empirically test patient and surgeon preferences for different sham surgery trial designs. The scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the methodological framework described in Arksey and O'Malley (2005) and reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Protocols extension for Scoping Reviews. The review will be informed by a systematic search of Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, CINAHL and EconLit databases (from database inception to 21 June 2019), a Google Scholar search, and hand searching of reference lists of relevant studies or reviews. Studies or opinion pieces that involve patient, surgeon or trial characteristics, which influence the decision to participate in a trial, will be included. Study selection will be carried out independently by two authors with discrepancies resolved by consensus among three authors. Data will be charted using a standardised form, and results tabulated and narratively summarised with reference to the research questions of the review. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The findings from this review will inform the design of a discrete choice experiment around willingness to participate in surgical trials, the outcomes of which can inform decision and cost-effectiveness models of sham surgery RCTs. The qualitative information from this review will also inform patient-centred outcomes research. The review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42019133296. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Newcastle United 'sign shirt sponsorship deal' with Saudi Arabia firm
Newcastle United signed a multi-year shirt sponsorship deal on Friday with a Saudi Arabian company linked to the club's owners, an agreement which may be scrutinised under the Premier League's rules on associated party transactions.
British media reported Newcastle's deal with events company Sela was worth 25 million pounds ($31.42 million) annually. Sela will replace Chinese gambling firm Fun88 on the front of Newcastle's match day shirts.
Sela's website says it is owned by the country's sovereign wealth Public Investment Fund (PIF), which also holds an 80 percent stake in Newcastle.
Newcastle will play in the Champions League next season for the first time in 20 years after finishing fourth in the league in their first full season since the PIF-led takeover, which was rubber-stamped in October 2021.
Following the sale, the Premier League introduced a temporary ban on clubs striking sponsorship agreements with firms linked to their owners.
The ban was lifted two months later, but the league said such will be subject to scrutiny from an independent panel to ensure they reflect a "fair market value" and are not a means of distorting revenue to allow for greater spending under Financial Fair Play rules.
PIF is chaired by Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and bankrolls LIV Golf, which stunned the sport this week by announcing an agreement to merge with the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour.
Earlier this week, PIF also took a majority ownership stake in four of the country's top soccer clubs, including those of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Screen Tight to Launch Three New Porch Screening Innovations at Remodeling Show, DeckExpo 2017
NASHVILLE, TN, October 24, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Screen Tight, the leader in porch screening innovations, is introducing three new products at Remodeling Show, DeckExpo 2017, including the revolutionary MeshGuard infill system, a ground-breaking method to enclose and winterize porches, and a porch framing system built and tested to resist hurricane-force winds.
Screen Tight developed the newly patented, building-code approved MeshGuard system to enhance porch and deck design. With most American building code requiring vertical pickets, or other obtrusive barriers, to be placed every four inches in the infill area under a porch handrail, MeshGuard replaces these visual hindrances with an innovative screening system that creates an open, unobstructed view to the outdoors.
"We wanted to create a product that could improve porch and deck designs but also enhance what porch living is all about - enjoying the outdoors." said Guerry Green, Screen Tight President. "There is no comparable product to MeshGuard on the market today."
Guerry Green, President
“We wanted to create a product that could improve porch and deck designs but also enhance what porch living is all about – enjoying the outdoors,” said Guerry Green, Screen Tight President. “There is no comparable product to MeshGuard on the market today.”
Screen Tight’s new Screen Block system, also recently patented, enables homeowners to use their outdoor living area year-round. While traditional porch enclosures and sunrooms are costly and permanent, Screen Block provides a cost-effective and seasonal solution to enclose a porch. The system uses a unique vinyl film that can be installed without removing the screen and consists of flexible PVC framing components that can bend to screen archways.
“Many mid-century homes have porches that add 150+ square feet of living space,” Green said. “Screen Block provides homeowners a simple and cost-effective solution to extend this livable area to three season room."
Screen Wall – Screen Tight’s composite PVC porch framing system, has been designed to withstand hurricane-force winds. With extreme weather becoming a new normal, Screen Wall provides homeowners piece of mind with incredibly durable porch elements.
“We have extensively tested the system in winds over 150 mph,” said Green. “And because it’s made from a semi-flexible material, we have documented Screen Wall bending slightly but then returning to its original shape after winds subside.”
Screen Tight is the leading manufacturer of screen porch systems, screen doors, and other building products. Available at leading home improvement retailers, lumber yards and hardware stores the original Screen Tight porch screening system has been installed in millions of homes across America.

Division of Criminal Justice
– J. Stephen Ferketic, Director
Office of Securities Fraud
and Financial Crimes Prosecutions
– Pablo Quiñones, Legal Chief
For Further Information:
TRENTON — Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin today announced that a state grand jury indicted two Middlesex County men for allegedly defrauding investors out of approximately $6.7 million. The scheme used sham companies and false identities to deceive investors into believing they would receive large guaranteed returns from investments in fuel products. Instead, the defendants diverted investor funds for their own benefit.
Shahid Javed, 39, of Old Bridge, New Jersey, and Wilfredo Topacio, 64, of Woodbridge, New Jersey, were charged in an indictment with first-degree conspiracy, second-degree theft by deception, two counts of second-degree securities fraud, three counts of misconduct by a corporate official, three counts of second-degree impersonation, and two counts of first-degree money laundering in connection with the alleged fraud scheme. Javed is also charged in a separate count with second-degree passing a bad check to an investor during the alleged scheme. The indictment alleges the scheme began in or about March 2018 and continued through in or about April 2023.
As alleged in the Indictment, Javed and Topacio fraudulently obtained over $6.7 million from investors by creating the false impression that invested funds were being used by legitimate business ventures to purchase and sell fuel products for large profits and guaranteed returns. The alleged scheme included defrauding these investors into purchasing $1.1 million in investment contracts with Prime Petroleum, LLC (“Prime Petroleum”) and $5.6 million in investment contracts with Petro Traders Group, LLC (“Petro Traders”), two purportedly legitimate businesses generating substantial profits and guaranteed returns from fuel-product investments. The defendants, however, allegedly operated these entities as sham companies and diverted investor funds for their own benefit, including, among other things, purchasing expensive vehicles, making payments to friends and family, paying off prior business debts, and paying for other personal expenses.
Javed and Topacio also allegedly laundered the funds through bank accounts and corporate entities they controlled to pay the investors in excess of $500,000 in purported investment returns with the investors’ money to promote the alleged deception that their investments actually yielded returns.
“Investment-fraud schemes prey on vulnerable victims with empty promises of huge profits and guaranteed returns,” said Attorney General Platkin. “These defendants allegedly worked together to orchestrate a multi-faceted investment-fraud scheme that took advantage of New Jersey investors for several years. The time has come for them to be held accountable.”
“These defendants allegedly took advantage of investors by duping them into investing millions of dollars into sham companies and then diverted invested money to line their own pockets and to pay other personal expenses,” said Legal Chief Pablo Quiñones of the Office of Securities Fraud and Financial Crimes Prosecutions (OSFFCP). “Cases like this one are a top priority for the Division of Criminal Justice, and we will continue to relentlessly ensure bad actors are brought to justice.”
Deputy Attorney General Conner Ouellette within the OSFFCP is handling this matter, under the supervision of Deputy Bureau Chief Adam Heck and Deputy Legal Chief Brendan Stewart.
The investigation was conducted by DCJ detectives, investigators, and analysts dedicated to investigating complex financial crimes, including Detective Nicholas Wiemken, Civil Investigator Gina Lemanowicz-Pusloski, and Special Investigator Sean McCarthy, under the supervision of Lt. Cheryl Smith. The OSFFCP expresses its appreciation to the Woodbridge Police Department for its assistance in the investigation.
The investigation of other individuals involved in the charged scheme as well as other potential victims remains ongoing. Anyone with pertinent information is asked to report the information via DCJ’s tip line at (800) 277-2427 or OSFFCP’s complaint email at email@example.com.
As is the case with all criminal defendants, the charges in the indictment are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The process of introducing the euro in Bulgaria is advancing, with the implementation of the Eurosystem’s TIPS (Target Instant Payment Settlement) service playing a central role
Eleven Foreign Intelligence Agents Exposed in Bulgaria Last Year – State Agency for National Security
"The interest of foreign intelligence services in the political, economic, social and defense and security spheres in Bulgaria remains constant", states the annual report on the activities of the State Agency for National Security (DANS) in 2020.
As concrete results of the countermeasures against foreign special services, three cases have been quoted, in which attempts by diplomats of Russia to obtain information representing state secrets have been intercepted. In order to protect national security, 11 foreign nationals related to the activities of foreign special services are included in the list of “personae non grata” on the territory of the country.
With regard to terrorism, in 2020 due to involvement in terrorist activity, by order of the CEO of DANS enforcement administrative measures "withdrawal of right of residence", "expulsion", "prohibition of entry into the Republic of Bulgaria" and "prohibition of entry and residence on the territory of the EU Member States" have been imposed on 8 foreign nationals. The database on unwanted foreigners in the Republic of Bulgaria includes 13 persons.
The report also states that the Covid-19 pandemic "exacerbates global political and economic competition against the backdrop of ongoing instability in a number of regions close to Bulgaria". The DANS also add that the spread of coronavirus is a major reason for the significant reduction in the activity of far-right and far-left movements in Europe in 2020.
As to the migratory pressure DANS they point out that it remains at relatively low levels, "despite some increase compared to the previous year".
In 2020, at the initiative of the State Agency for National Security (DANS) and in order to protect national security, in the database on foreigners unwanted on the territory of Bulgaria, 4 foreign nationals engaged in violations related to illegal migration are included.
Employees of the agency conducted a total of 1,590 interviews with foreigners who illegally entered the country /1,102 in 2019/), as a result of the overall assessment 11 persons were identified as a potential risk to national security and measures were taken to prevent legalization of their residence in Bulgaria.
"In 2020 the Bulgarian financial system retains relative stability and sustainability, the banking sector continues to maintain high liquidity and good capital adequacy", the agency's report states.
Among the risks to financial security, according to DANS, are "an increase in non-performing loans as a result of a protracted process of economic uncertainty, the collapse of individual industries and sectors and high levels of unemployment", as well as attempts to spread false allegations in the media space, discrediting individual financial institutions or entire sectoral policies/systems.
In 2020, operations were carried out by the State Agency for National Security (DANS) to intercept numerous schemes for tax fraud and other attacks inflicting damage to state treasury. According to the State Agency for National Security (DANS), the state treasury suffered damages worth BGN 510 million owing to the criminal activity and "given its long-term nature, the amount of damage prevented is several times larger".
With regard to the arms industry, in 2020 "the trend observed in recent years towards reduction of foreign trade contracts for defense-related products in the enterprises of the Bulgarian arms industry" is maintained.
In 2020, 15 background checks were carried out by the Agency to track weapons of possible Bulgarian origin found in conflict zones. No violations of legislation and international norms have been found.
Bulgaria’s toll system now has the technical capability to track average vehicle speeds, as announced by the National Toll Management following a meeting with Regional Development Minister Violeta Koritarova.
The income required to cover living expenses for a working individual and a three-member family with a child under 14 has remained almost unchanged compared to June, according to an analysis by the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CI
The Council of Ministers has adopted a resolution to set the minimum wage at 1,077 leva, reflecting a 15.

Professor Ango Abdullahi has said he threw his weight behind the ultimatum handed Igbos to leave the northern region because no one was reining in Nnamdi Kanu and other secessionists.
Abdullahi, a former vice chancellor and a chieftain of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) said his position on the issue is open and expressed surprise at the vitriol this has engendered.
He expressed his distress at the seemly silence of leaders of South East origin such as DSP Ike Ekweremadu, Emeka Anyaoku et al on the issue of Nnamdi Kanu.
This was disclosed while meeting with executive members of Oil and Solid Mineral Producing Communities Landlord Association of Nigeria (OMPALAN) in Zaria.
He said: “The North and Eastern Nigeria have come a long way in terms of building political bridges; starting from the first republic when Dr. Nnamdi Zik conceded the position of Prime Minister to Tafawa Balewa,” Vanguard quoted him as saying.
“And in second republic, Dr. Alex Ekwueme was supported by the North to become Vice President to Shehu Shagari.”
The NEF chieftain further pointed out that after the civil war, the North returned all abandoned Igbo properties and rents collected on their behalf by caretakers assigned to supervise the properties.
“This was a favour they (Igbo) could not get from their South-South neighbours who confiscated their properties in Port Harcourt and other South-South cities.
“Igbo should reciprocate the gesture of the North by supporting them politically rather than turning their back against them.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Hi, Marlo here.
I’ve always been immersed in movement. I’ve studied dance for 29 years and have taught movement professionally for 17 years. I love leading atypical and playful group movement experiences. I am constantly exploring how I can teach mechanically sound techniques in innovative ways.
In 2012, Flow Movement was born out of my desire to share what I understand about fluid movement. I wanted to share the benefits of dance experiences without the things that normally scare people away. Dance does not have to be complicated or intimidating. It can be based on familiar, functional patterns. Students can progress by developing their imaginations and problem-solving abilities, rather than being pressured to imitate others.
I believe fluid, focused movement can benefit everyone. The hard part is not the doing, it’s the development of skills to stay focused on the task and press on, even when we doubt ourselves.

This Find X7 Ultra is truly pioneering, and the development of these four cameras has created four major breakthroughs in the way we take pictures. Let's take a look at them.
First Breakthrough: Zoom
It feels like zoom developments in recent smartphone cameras have been a race to the moon, without stopping to think about the journey along the way. Sure enough, the Quad Main Camera exhibits quality results even at 20x zoom and beyond, but it also offers a complete range, perfectly bridging the gaps where other smartphones cannot. A combination of carefully chosen focal lengths, high-resolution sensors, and AI capabilities ensures clear, crisp, and ultra-detailed photos regardless of distance. See for yourself:
Those vast yet crystal-clear photos you know and love, with a dynamic and expansive field of view.
Featuring the first 1" sensor specifically designed for smartphones—the Sony LYT-900. Capture incredible views with 50% less reflection from OPPO's customized lens.
The first of two periscope zoom cameras, a world-first on a smartphone. With a closest focus distance of 25cm and a fast f/2.6 aperture, you can capture superbly detailed photos day or night, near or far.
Perfect for faraway subjects or exquisite portraits. It also uses AI to enhance clarity on extremely long-distance shots, maxing out at a whopping 120x zoom.
Second Breakthrough: Computational Photography
Computational photography has seen its share of debate over the past few years. Algorithm adjustments became the norm in mobile photography but sparked questions about authenticity. What exactly is a fake photo? Where do we draw the line? How much do we want to retain the original characteristics?
In an age of filters, generative AI, and Photoshop, there may be no definitive answer. However, with the Find X7 Ultra, OPPO addresses these issues in a non-intrusive manner. They provide all the benefits of AI enhancement while keeping the essence of the photo true to life.
Their HyperTone Camera System works in tandem with the four cameras to build on ultra-realistic images, aiming to follow the natural aesthetic of the scene.
Notice how HyperTone's image strictly adheres to an organic picture, seeming as though you could be viewing it with your own eyes.
Third Breakthrough: Portraits
Back in action with Hasselblad, the quad-camera array enhances Portrait Mode to professional, cinematic standards. Each focal length matches a specific portrait lens to create the classic bokeh effect, even more fine-tuned to each different scenario. Now, the portraits offer a greater sense of dimensions and depth. See the example below:
In the foreground, you can detect even the finest details, such as strands of hair or fabric, with superb clarity. In the background, the blur is effective without being distracting, perfectly accentuating the subjects and scene.
Not only this, Portrait Mode places a heavy importance on identifying natural skin tones. This has been a hot-button issue for computational photography in the past, but you won't find any unnecessary lightening or darkening in these portraits. Your portraits will stay authentic—and that's the goal.
Fourth Breakthrough: Master Mode
The power of the Quad Main Camera is for everyone, and casuals will find their photography reaches exciting new heights. But it would be a shame if expert photographers couldn't make the most of such breakthroughs. After all, you won't often find true DSLR quality in a smartphone. Well, for the pros, there's Master Mode.
Master Mode lets you access manual controls and take full advantage of a world-class camera system. Choose your lens, frame your shot, set your focus, and control the ISO and shutter speed. Plus, activate Master Effects to adapt saturation, contrast, sharpness, and vignette. What does this mean? It means you can turn the image from your head into reality.
These are all astounding advancements for the Find X7 Ultra, but the fun doesn't stop there. The learnings, technology, and boundary-breaking ethos will inspire other product lines, delivering the best photography across many OPPO devices.

Church to open Women and Children Shelter in Orange
Published 12:51 am Saturday, June 13, 2020
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
By Dawn Burleigh
Jaqueline James with her husband Pastor Kenneth James are in the process of opening a Family and Educational Center in Orange which will include a Women and Children’s Shelter.
Anchor Family and Youth Center is located at 1301 West Park in Orange and recently, the couple was able to acquire more space to include a shelter for women and their children who need a safe environmental space to encourage peace.
While the program is young, it has already shown positive results.
A young man from Mississippi found himself in Orange, homeless and sleeping in his car. One day his car was stolen, turning a bad situation worse.
“We were handing out sandwiches when we met Michael,” Jaqueline said. “He had a run of bad luck. Not all homeless are on drugs, some just fall on hard times. Michael had four months of hard luck. Now he has a job, and a home.”
When COVID-19 Crisis began, people came to the church looking for food.
“It was a few people at first,” Jaqueline said. “Then it grew to 140 people a day. The need is there.”
Jaqueline added Michael’s story proves people need help and encouragement.
“Here we can train them from the streets to be sustainable to work in the community,” Jaqueline said. “And bring money back to the community.”
The church is also connected with several stores in the area to assist in helping find employment.
“They can start at the church cleaning and making sandwiches,” Jaqueline said.
In Michael’s situation, he said he just needed the opportunity to feel productive.
Anchor Family and Youth Center will include an educational center for children, Women and Children’s Shelter, Spiritual Counseling, Social and Life skills Training, Outreach Ministry, Crisis Hotline and a thrift store.
The biggest aspect of the ministry is the creation of the Women and Children’s Shelter.
“It will house 25-30 where the children can feel safe and the women can be nourished,” Jaqueline said. “My husband and I have raised over 150 children through the foster care system. The women in the area need help. We need the community in prayer with us.”
The center will keep each woman’s name confidential for their safety as well as have a 24 hour security team on hand to provide a safe structural environment for the women.
“We are working with officials and law enforcement as well,” Jaqueline said.
She added that she believes the city can grow and be revitalized.
“God moved us here,” she said. “We are really excited about this.”
The church also has mentoring programs for young men and women.
“We want them to rise to the top and stay here,” Jaqueline said. “We also teach them about the city. So many do not know the historic value or how to love where you are. We want them to become passionate about Orange, so they want to come back. I am raising seven children in this city. I want kids to love where they live.”
Currently, the biggest obstacles the church is facing in getting the shelter to the next stage so it is closer to opening is assistance with a kitchen and kitchen equipment as well as a shower.

Martha Argerich goes random
As I've said here before, randomness is a very precious thing. At the moment the most popular article On An Overgrown Path by a long way is, surprisingly, my post from January this year about the day Martha Argerich was locked up. The viral spread started with a link on the Piano Forum site, which proved to be topical as Ms. Argerich's legendary keyboard techique continues to be matched by her legendary concert cancellations.
One way of avoiding Martha Argerich's no-shows is to buy her CDs instead. I have been on the look out for the EMI recordings from her 2007 Lugano Festival for some time following a comment from a reader recommending Ernö von Dohnányi's Piano Quintet No. 1, which is one of the featured items. While in the FNAC store in Dijon a couple of weeks ago I found the 3 CD box reduced from 28 to 9 euros, so that gap in my collection was quickly filled.
There is a wonderfully random selection of music captured on the 3 CDs; as well as the Dohnányi there are works by Beethoven, Mozart transcribed by Busoni, Schumann, Ravel, Glinka, Messiaen, Bartók and Lutoslawski. Weird though how the CD artwork, seen above, lists the musicians, but not the music they play. I would love to give you details of all the eleven works on the disc, but copy typing is not my great strength. So I thought I would simply link you to EMI Classic's website for the full work listings. But sadly, that only gives the composer's names. Which, I am sure, won't stop EMI's new owners blaming file sharers for lack of sales of the discs.
But back to the music, even if EMI do not tell you what it is until you have actually parted with your cash. The anonymous and random programme is a refreshing and stimulating contrast to the current obsession with cycles of works by single composers, which achieve nothing more than giving the marketing gurus, who now literally call the tunes, a peg to hang their creative ephemera on. Strange isn't it how diversity and plurality are today's hot buttons for funders, yet the concert programmes they fund are often devised by single composer fanatics? And with Mahler anniversaries in both 2010 and 2011 we ain't seen nothing yet.
Alas, the whopping discount on the Argerich box shows that multi-composer discs are usually commercial disasters, mainly because they do not fit neatly into browser and database categories, and, for review purposes, they get lumped into the 'odds and ends' section. That doesn't deter me from loving them for their randomness, a great example being a now deleted RCA France 4 CD box of Arthur Rubinstein playing chamber music by composers ranging from Schubert to Fauré with a stellar line-up including Pierre Fournier, Jascha Heifetz and Gregor Piatigorsky .
In 1997 Sony bravely released the multi-composer CD seen below with composer John Williams conducting the London Symphony Orchestra in music by Toru Takemitsu, Alan Hovhaness, Tobias Picker and himself. Although deleted in CD form that disc is still available as an MP3 download. The download is worth buying for Hovhaness' Symphony No.2 'Mysterious Mountain' alone, the other beautifully crafted music on it is a delightfully random bonus. More non-John Cage music and chance here.

Two product stewardship schemes receive Government accreditation
Environment Minister Amy Adams today announced the accreditation of two product stewardship schemes that cover the recycling of plastic, aluminium, paper, glass and cardboard packaging.
14 November 2013
The Fonterra Milk for Schools product stewardship scheme covers the collection of used packaging generated through its nationwide programme.
The used packaging is processed at Fonterra sites before being sent to international recycling facilities overseas, where it is broken down and used to make products such as roof tiles, books and paper.
As part of the scheme, each participating school is also visited by Fonterra to talk about the recycling aspect of the scheme and the importance of caring for the environment.
The Public Place Recycling product stewardship scheme funds projects to promote and influence the recycling of plastic, paper, aluminium and glass containers in public places, including research, infrastructure and educational programmes.
It is managed by the Glass Packaging Forum and scheme members include companies that manufacture products or packaging that are consumed mainly in public places. The scheme also includes venues where these products are consumed.
The scheme will also provide annual data on the amount of packaging and organic waste collected for recycling through the Love NZ branded public place recycling bins in New Zealand.
“These two newly-accredited recycling schemes show that industry is taking responsibility for waste,” Ms Adams says. “Both schemes recognise the important role industry has to play in encouraging the sensible disposal of waste, and educating the community about the value of recycling.”
Under the Waste Minimisation Act, the Minister for the Environment has the ability to recognise product stewardship schemes through accreditation.
A product stewardship scheme will only be accredited after it has been thoroughly assessed to ensure accreditation criteria have been met. In turn, accredited schemes have to report annually to the Minister on their objectives and targets.
There are now 11 voluntary product stewardship schemes accredited in New Zealand. Click here for more information on product stewardship. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
House Education Committee advances bills to address teacher shortages & student protections
HARRISBURG, April 26 – Following through on his commitment to putting students and educators first, the PA House Education Committee chaired by state Rep. Peter Schweyer, this week advanced legislation to address shortages and student protections.
“Every Pennsylvania student is entitled to a quality education and unfortunately Pennsylvania faces an education crisis with teachers leaving the profession early and teaching becoming a profession many higher-education students do not want to study,” said Schweyer, D-Lehigh. “These measures would help school districts recruit and maintain the high-caliber teachers that are needed and also help students to achieve the best possible pathway to success.”
According to Schweyer, the House Education Committee approved the following bills at this week’s meetings:
HB 100 – Would amend the Public-School Code to require the State Board of Education to establish a tutoring program for students in grades eleven and twelve.
HB 141 – Would establish the Grow Our Own Educators Program.
HB 688 – Would amend the Public-School Code to establish the PA Teacher Pipeline Scholarship Program.
Schweyer added, earlier this month the House Education Committee advanced four other bills which provide protections for students and improve the quality of their education.
HB 148 – Would create an Eating Disorders Taskforce within the PA Department of Education.
HB 301 – Would eliminate derogatory and outdated terminology from the Public-School Code.
HB 663 – Would prohibit a school district from removing a child from school until the residency dispute has been fully resolved.
HB 668 – Would expand the eligibility requirements for the Fostering Independence Tuition Waiver Program to include children who are placed into kinship care but would have otherwise been in the foster care system.
“Equal access to education remains at the top of my legislative priorities and as we work to solve this education crisis in Pennsylvania, it is critical that we pass bills which support both students and educators,” added Schweyer.
All seven measures will now be brought to the full House for consideration. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Israel and Turkey recently engaged in a deal to end the rift in diplomatic relations between the two countries, which began in 2010 when Israeli commandos attacked the Turkish Mavi Marmara which was carrying aid to Gaza. Ten crew members were killed.
The deal included $21m in compensation to the families of the Turkish activists killed and an apology for the attack in return for exchanging ambassadors, allowing Turkish aid to Gaza through an Israeli port. The lifting of the siege on Gaza, as a condition, is still not confirmed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Michael Smith sealed a Cazoo Premier League Play-Off place with a third nightly win of the season as he sensationally defeated Jonny Clayton 6-3 in Thursday's Manchester final at the AO Arena.
World Champion Smith saw off local hero Nathan Aspinall, reigning champion Michael van Gerwen and Welsh star Clayton to complete back-to-back Premier League night wins with a remarkable display, which saw him secure a top-four finish in the process.
After defeating Aspinall 6-3 in their quarter-final, he then landed six doubles from 11 attempts to overcame Van Gerwen 6-4 in a repeat of January's World Championship final.
The world number one then raced to glory in the final to seal the £10,000 winner's bonus saving his best display of the night for the decider as he missed double 12 for a nine-darter and landed five 180s in a stunning performance.
Clayton took out 72 and 121 to establish a 2-1 lead early in the final, but Smith turned on the style in a mesmerising four-leg burst to take command.
He firstly missed double 12 to complete a nine-dart finish, taking leg four in ten darts, before landing six perfect darts in the next as a 12-darter moved him ahead.
Smith also took the next two legs on double ten to lead 5-2, and though Clayton punished a missed match dart to hit back in the eighth leg, the St Helens man sealed his second successive nightly triumph in the next on double 13.
Smith ended the final with a season's best average of 110.05, and the five league points crucially secured his Play-Off place on May 25.
"It's good to be back and I like to play like that," said Smith. "I struggled against Nathan and Michael but I needed the wins and when I need to win, I'm producing it.
"I had to play well once tonight and I felt good. Being 2-1 down, I thought "right, step up now".
"That's back-to-back wins now and hopefully I can go to Sheffield now and win four [for the season]. I did my job."
Clayton's run to the final moved him back into the top four in the race for Play-Off spots, as he defeated Peter Wright and Chris Dobey to ensure that a clash with Aspinall in Aberdeen is a shoot-out for a semi-final berth.
The 2021 Premier League champion took out 102 in the deciding leg of his quarter-final, and led throughout as he emerged a 6-3 winner over Masters champion Dobey in the semis.
Van Gerwen ended a run of five successive defeats against Price with a superb 6-2 win in a high-quality quarter-final, with both players averaging over 103 and the Dutchman landing six doubles from ten attempts.
Defeats in the quarter-finals for both Wright and Van den Bergh saw their feint hopes of being able to qualify for the Play-Offs ended, as both relinquished a 2-0 lead before losing out to Clayton and Dobey respectively.
Dobey also cannot now reach the Play-Offs in his debut season, sitting ten points adrift of the top four with two league nights remaining with Clayton and Aspinall certain to meet on Night 16 in Aberdeen.
The penultimate league night of the season will be held on Thursday May 11 at Sheffield's Utilita Arena, where Smith and Van Gerwen will meet again in a huge quarter-final contest.
League leader Price faces Aspinall, while Clayton plays Van den Bergh and Dobey takes on Wright.
The 2023 Cazoo Premier League will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK & Ireland, through the PDC's worldwide broadcast partners including DAZN, Viaplay and VTM, and on PDCTV for Rest of the World Subscribers.

Unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock, the entire world is talking and writing about Greece, and it is not in relation to Flight Centre’s (FLT) latest holiday package deal.
Seriously, let’s dissect where we are at with Greece and look for where the opportunities are.
At Peak Asset Management, we believe divergence to be the key theme going forward. That is, interest rates are expected to rise in the U.S. due to its strong economy against interest rate cuts in Australia, China and India and quantitative easing across Europe as these latter economies struggle. No matter how hard Greece tries, it is not going to crack this theme with its soap opera.
Even within this macro divergence theme, there is another divergence amid the US outlook. A micro-divergence if you will. Strong data continues to come out of the U.S. but their GDP numbers are not looking great. U.S. GDP was revised from a positive 0.2% to -0.7% for the first quarter of 2015. Compare this to 2.20% in the last quarter in FY14 and it is still lower than the long term average of 3.26%. Although building starts fell for the month of May, the overall housing market still looks healthy with an upward trend.
At Peak, we don’t see any reason to decrease our exposure to the U.S. unless something drastic like a Fed hike happens. The Fed has kept interest rates at zero for the last 7 years since the financial crisis in 2008. We do not believe interest rates will be hiked any time soon. We see the latter end of the year as the likeliest time for rate hikes and September at the earliest. But once it does happen, a lot of things will change along with our core beliefs.
U.S. Housing Market
Data Source: ABS
Coming back home, Greece is having an effect on the markets despite Australia’s lack of direct exposure to Greece. Even the risk of a contagion effect is very low. However, there is an overall sentiment of rising risk which is being priced in the corporate bond market with yields creeping upwards of around 20 – 30 basis points in the last 2 months.
Australian Yield Curves
Data Source: RBA
Last month, the AFR had an article discussing how our market stands compared to the world. Goldman Sach’s Equity strategist, Matthew Ross, considers our local sharemarket to be cheap at current levels. The local sharemarket is trading at a discount of 9% compared to the global sharemarkets on a forward price-earnings ratio basis. Ross further points out that on a price to book ratio basis the local sharemarket is at its largest discount in 10 years at 16% to the MSCI World index.
MSCI Aust. vs World Relative P/E
On the other end, Credit Suisse’s analyst, Richard Hitchens, in a research note last month looked at valuation dispersion, basically volatility of valuation in reference to their average across our local market. He expects to remain low. He goes on to suggest that quality stocks are cheap if quality is defined by companies that are traditionally at higher price earnings ratio.
Australian Company Earnings by Sector
Data Source: RBA
Valuation is also about cash flows, growth of those cash flows and inherent riskiness of the cash flows. Australian company earnings are not improving. Earnings of miners are spiralling with only real estate, utilities and financials showing a bit of positivity. However, these three sectors are not going offset the lion’s share of Australia’s economy… mining.
Moreover, the Chinese economy is unwinding and the only reason the financial market isn’t crashing is because it is not a free market anymore. So valuations may be quite low, but we don’t see much growth in those cash flows.
We would encourage investors to not look for value in Australia at this stage. For growth, the U.S. is hard to go past, along with a few emerging markets.
We don’t see a convergence occurring anytime soon. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
We have many vegetables and herbs growing in the Kitchen Garden that we still grow and use today, but what about the ones we don’t?
For the adventurous visitor who loves to poke around and explore, there are some wonderfully unusual plants you can find tucked away in corners and along the side paths of the Kitchen Garden. I love taking a tour with our gardener, he can point out all sorts of curiosities and the creative ways they discovered for using them in the 17th Century!
One of my favorite plants is definitely the marsh mallow… yes, you read that correctly! The roots of this plant, when crushed up and beaten with sugar and egg whites, produces a gooey, white, mixture very similar to our modern marshmallows. If you visit the garden, be sure to touch the leaves, which are amazing – they feel like a thick, luxurious velvet!
Along the right wall of the garden, you’ll find a very special plant – jewelweed, also called lady’s purse. The juice in the stem can combat poison ivy and poison oak. Modern hikers and campers should definitely learn to recognize this plant, which is most distinctive when it starts to bloom in August. The blossoms are bright orange, and can often be found near where the poison ivy is growing. The juice of this plant is often used to combat other problems, including bee stings and mosquito bites.
Be sure to stop by Pennsbury’s Kitchen Garden and check out what’s growing this season!

ElemenoQuilt is a modern quilter's alphabet. This pattern is perfect for any project that needs words, whether you are putting a name on a pillow for your loved ones, making a political statement, a birthday banner, or anything in between.
This pattern is meant as a quilter's tool kit that can be used in any project. Each letter and symbol is a self-contained 10" block pattern with cutting and piecing instructions. So whether you need a single letter, or many words, simply pick and choose the blocks you need.
The pattern also includes instructions to make the full cover quilt.
ElemenoQuilt is a Fat Quarter and Fat Eighths friendly pattern, but includes yardage cuts for the cover quilt as well.
