We are pretty sure that by now you have already heard of the amazing ESP AlertCam, a stand-alone weatherproof light-switching PIR detector with an integral CCTV camera (coming with built-in video recording device).
When it is properly sited and installed, this PIR can switch on up to 500W of lighting (flood lights, outdoor lights, etc) directly, and it can store clear still color images (rate: 2 shots per second, for 20 seconds).
The question is, Where Do People Use ESP AlertCam?
Note: this item is discontinued and is no longer available at Sparks. Here is our current offering in this section.
Where Can We Use ESP AlertCam?
The ESP AlerCam Outdoor PIR with image-taking and storing capability is ideal for many outdoor applications.You can use it in the driveway (especially if you are not expecting a lot of cars), in the back garden (to make sure people are not intruding or if they try, they will be recorded), in forecourts, etc.
Among the more peculiar uses can be in yards and farms, where you don't usually go during the night so that it would monitor the intrusion at night.
The most popular uses of this external PIR camera with RF-controlled light and alarm activation is at the front door, around the garage, in the car park, around the manor house, etc.
What Does the ALERCAM PIR Do?
When the passive infrared sensor detects intrusion in its perimeter, it will internally switch on up to 500W lighting, it will commence still image recording with time and date stamp, and it will send a wireless trigger signal to any number of remote chime / alarm units (if you set it up this way).The PIR detection is of 10m at an angle of 160deg (adjustable), and the camera has a resolution of 640 x 480. The pictures are stored on a SD card of up to 2GB (thousands of images in JPEG format).
Whenever the alarm is triggered, you can then use the micro B type USB2 interface to download the images and detect who is intruding.
Also: Part of the ESP GuardCam System
The AlertCam PIR can also be used in the complete ESP GuardCam LED system (a simple, cost-effective all-in-one security system). Or, if you so desire, you can use it only by itself and install other LED flood lights / outdoor lights to work with it.It's up to you. We only suggest and give you some options. To purchase the ESP AlertCam PIR Detector with Integral CCTV Camera please visit the LED Lighting section on our website. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Indian wrestler, Deepak Punia, who was the second seed went up against third seed Myles Amine in the 86 Kg freestyle category in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics. The Indian was hopeful of winning the bronze medal after crashing out of the Semis against David Taylor.
The 22-year-old Punia could not emerge victorious and relinquished the opportunity to capture the Bronze Medal against the San Marino wrestler.
Deepak Punia slips out on the chance to win Bronze Medal
Deepak as usual started slow with his game and was able to sustain the first attack of Myles Amine with his brilliant defense. In the first round, Punia came up with a huge takedown to lead 2-0.
They went into the second round with Punia having a lead of a single point. Myles Amine was continuously going for leg attacks but Punia kept on holding up with his defense.
It was quite a thrilling battle but the Indian went on to lose the bronze medal in the final ten seconds of the fight.

Children struggling to cope with change are to be given transitional toys, ‘Alien Allies’, at a North East conference so that they ‘have someone by their side’ at all times.
The University of Sunderland are hosting their annual one-day conference on 19 October in line with National Adoption Week which runs from 15 to 21 October.
Sharon Peterson, Operations Director at Priory Education and Children’s Services, will be introducing the ‘Alien Allies’ during the event to coincide with its theme ‘The Impact of Trauma on Children’.
It will be delivered in partnership with the Institute of Recovery from Childhood Trauma (IRCT) whose chairperson, Sylvia Duncan, will be a guest speaker.
Senior lecturer in Childhood Studies, IRCT Trustee and Conference Organiser, Stephanie Hunter, has said: “We are delighted to be able to introduce ‘Alien Allies’ to our conference, which fits in perfectly with our theme of transition and loss.
“If you’ve experienced abuse and trauma it’s difficult to cope with transitions because it resonates with loss, so the little ‘Alien Allies’ are a tool for children to use as a transitional object, identifying those ‘alien feelings’ and providing comfort.”
The transitional toys have already been given out to adopted children at The Priory Education Centre in Darlington.
One of the centres looked-after students, who was placed in the care system for years, described that time in her life as ‘very dark and disheartening’.
About the ‘Alien Allies’ toy, she said: “Although I was comforted to the best that I could have been with the necessary items that were needed at the time, it would have made a great difference to me if I was given this small gift.
“The gift would definitely ensure a child feels appreciated and comforted at their most vulnerable time in their life, and more so, the gift would give hope for that child.”
The conference provides the opportunity to hear from leading UK experts about their latest research and developments in the area of childhood studies.
It is open to adopters, foster carers, professionals, staff and students and will be held in Prospect Building Room 009, St Peters Campus from 9:30am to 4:30pm. Tickets cost £40 for IRCT members and £60 for non-members.
The IRCT is a national charity that is hoping to build a learning community of professionals who work with children across the country and bring together regional events in partnership with universities to help develop best practice. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Lana Condor and Anthony De La Torre have celebrated their union with an intimate destination wedding in Malibu. The 27-year-old "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" actress and her 30-year-old partner tied the knot at the Serra Retreat center towards the end of October. This joyous occasion was spent with family and friends, creating cherished memories atop the Malibu mountains, as they intended the ceremony to feel timeless, airy, whimsical, and natural, a sentiment she shared with Vogue. This is prepared by SSP.
Condor wore a Vera Wang wedding dress, a choice she made over two years ago during a dress-shopping trip with her late mother, Mary Condor. Expressing gratitude for that experience, she fondly recalled the shared moment as a memory she will treasure forever. She first met De La Torre at an Emmy Awards party in 2015, and the two shared an immediate connection, eventually becoming Instagram official weeks later. After announcing their engagement in January 2022, Condor often spoke of De La Torre as her "best friend" and "warrior rock."
The wedding weekend was filled with highlights including music from Professor D of Jordan Kahn Music Company, their favorite foods catered by 24 Carrots, two wedding cakes by The Butter End, and a special tattooing of their wedding date on their arms. Guests included Condor's "To All the Boys" co-stars Sarayu Blue, Janel Parrish, and bridesmaid Madeleine Arthur. Condor expressed her deep gratitude towards the women in her life as she shared her excitement and love around the celebrations, including a memorable surprise bridal shower organized by her closest friends and a heartwarming bachelorette party.
Earlier, SSP reported that Olympian Missy Franklin announced pregnancy with baby girl No. 2 in Halloween style. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
17. Partnerships for the Goals
The focus of the global goal “Partnerships for the Goals” is cooperation and partnership for achieving all SDGs. It requires more effective cooperation at all levels, international and national.
In the 2030 Agenda, this goal is divided into five topics: finance, technology, capacity-building, trade and systemic issues. The primary requirements are strengthening partnership and ensuring cohesive sustainable development activities both nationally and internationally. It is important to achieve public and private sector as well as civil society partnerships, using their experience and relevant funding strategies.
The Estonian sustainable development strategy does not cover topics of global cooperation. The global goal “Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development” is linked in Estonia with the following indicators of international development assistance, general government budget and environmental taxes:
- Official development assistance
- General government balance
- General government consolidated debt
- Environmental taxes | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Owning a second home is a wonderful way to relax and share good times with friends and family. If you own a secondary home, your insurance needs are unique.
What Are Your Coverage Options? At a minimum, your lender will require that you carry hazard insurance to protect your property against damage from fires, earthquakes or severe storms. It’s also a good idea to add liability insurance, which covers you and members of your household for accidental injuries to your visitors. Opting for property plus liability insurance adds up to a standard homeowners insurance package. For an extra layer of protection, a personal umbrella liability policy extends your liability coverage for properties named in the policy.
Dwelling Fire Insurance: Since most homeowner policies require occupancy as a condition of insurance, the fact that you visit infrequently may preclude you from obtaining full homeowners coverage. Dwelling fire insurance is an alternate coverage option utilized in insuring residential rental or non-owner occupancy property, including vacant property. A dwelling fire policy continues to offer coverage for a home and other structures (e.g., detached sheds or garages) for perils named in the policy. Named perils listed in a typical dwelling fire policy protect against damage caused by fire, collapse, lightning strike, wind, hail, explosion and smoke. For more coverage, consider adding personal property protection and liability insurance to a dwelling fire policy.
Renting Your Home To Others? Whether your second property is an apartment unit or a family home, if you are renting the property, you’ll have little control over the physical damage that can occur. To mitigate your risks, tenant-occupied dwelling insurance will cover the costs incurred by damage, including fire, storms, burglary and vandalism. It does not cover your tenant’s personal property. Renting your property furnished or unfurnished also has insurance coverage implications. If you are renting your property furnished, make sure to your agent know.
Cost Considerations: Whether your second home is reserved for your private use or shared as a rental, it costs more to insure than your primary residence. Premiums are based on a variety of factors such as the amount of time that your home will be unoccupied, its location and the liability from renting the property. Depending on the location and type of second home, risk of hurricane, wildfire or even a pool can push up your premiums or make coverage difficult to obtain. If you are considering the purchase of a second home, contact us to learn more about the cost of insuring the property. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What are Statutory Costs?
These are expenses you have to pay to state and local agencies, even if you paid cash for the house and didn't need a mortgage:
Transfer Taxes – Required by some localities to transfer the title and deed from the seller to the buyer.
Deed Recording Fees – To pay for the County Clerk to record the deed and mortgage, and to change the property tax billing.
Pro-Rated Taxes – Such as school taxes and municipal taxes may need to be split between the buyer and the seller since they are due at different times of the year. For example, if taxes are due in October and you close in August, you would owe taxes for 2-months, and the seller would owe for the other 10-months. Pro-rated taxes are usually paid based on the number of days, not months of ownership. Some lenders may require you to set up an escrow account to cover these bills. If not, you may want to set one up yourself to insure the funds are set aside for these important expenses.
State & Local Fees – Other state and local mortgage taxes and fees may apply. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Did you know that Google has a school assembly program about digital safety that they are taking on the road? It’s called the Good to Know School Roadshow, but in addition to the assembly program for schools, they have a lot of online safety resources as well. Here’s rundown of what they offer.
The Google Safety Center offers two portals: one called “For Everyone” and the other “For Families.” As you’d expect, much of the discussion is about using Google tools safely, but many of the tips, such as password safety, are more widely applicable as well.
The Good to Know School Roadshow has five tips for staying safe on the web:
1. Think before you share
2. Protect your stuff
3. Know and use your settings
4. Avoid scams
5. Be positive
For teachers, there is Digital Literacy and Citizenship Curriculum that has lesson plans for three classes: Become an Online Sleuth, Manage your Digital Footprint, and Identify Tricks and Scams Online.
Want more Google videos about online safety and security? There’s a YouTube channel for that!
Google also has another website (created with partners such as Common Sense Media and the National Cosumers League) that also explores safety: ThinkB4U.
But wait, there’s more, and they are all listed in this Learn More page. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
As we are coming up on Independence Day the thoughts of freedom run through my mind. And the great sacrifices that was made so that we as Americans can have a freedom to do as we please. So that we as Christians can worship Christ the way that is right. I'm very grateful for that freedom.
I am also thankful for the freedom that Christ gave us. When he set us free he set us free from sin. No longer are we bound by the shackles of sin that the devil locks us in. When the Lord set you free, he made it so that you don't have to return to it. He made it to where we no longer are bound by it but free.
Let us take the time during this season to thank those who have and are serving our country, but also not to forget that great sacrifice Christ made for us. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Chandon S is a sparkling wine which has a refreshingly unexpected twist on the classic champagne cocktail.
Created following the traditional French methode traditionnelle champagne making process, Chandon S adds a unique twist and has been created using seven natural, high quality, local ingredients including blood orange and navel orange peel, gentian root, fresh ginger, vanilla, cinnamon and green cardamom.
The distinctive hand-crafted orange bitters in Chandon S were developed and made by the winemakers at the Chandon winery in the Yarra Valley. To develop this, Chandon Australia winemakers experimented with a range of herbs, spices, citrus rinds and berries before settling on orange as the primary flavour as it was the most refreshing!

Reflections from our four-year health security strengthening programme.
Tackling deadly diseases in Africa was an ambitious, multi-country programme, which worked to strengthen health security in six sub-Saharan countries that are highly vulnerable to disease outbreaks. Adding to these clear challenges, TDDA was conceived before - and implemented during - a global pandemic. This report distils the team’s learnings from our four-years of delivery in Cameroon, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger (until 2021) and Uganda.
Trust is the report’s central theme. We offer suggestions for how similar projects might build trust and bring everybody round the table, as part of a multi-sector, whole-of-society approach that will keep more people safe. Our aim in sharing these insights is to guide designers and funders of future programmes who seek to learn from TDDA’s challenges and to build on its successes as we all strive for greater global health security, with no-one left behind. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It is estimated that almost 2 million New York City residents, or approximately one in four people, will face hunger this year.
In a normal year, New York City would see over 25 million visits to soup kitchens and food pantries by individuals and families to meet their basic human need for food. That number may triple because of the pandemic this year.
Noreen Springstead, the executive director of WHYHunger, a not for profit NYC-based organization working to end hunger and poverty, says we’re facing a crisis “of epic proportions.”
In an interview with WCBS 880 preparing for this year’s Hungerthon radio fundraiser Springstead said, “I think the pandemic has been illuminating to just how close people were living to the edge of being on a food line.”
Each year for the past four decades WHYHunger harnesses the power of local radio stations like WCBS Newsradio 880 to raise funds for their efforts and raise awareness to the fight against hunger and poverty.
Springstead, a guest on this week’s 880 In Depth podcast said, “Our work is more important than ever because the human need has increased dramatically.”
Springstead joined WHYHunger partner Dr. Melony Samuels from The Campaign to Fight Hunger in New York City, a Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn-based food pantry that has been on the front lines for more than two decades.
Dr. Samuels says her organization has seen a 75% increase in people coming to seek help this year because of the pandemic. In the first three months of the COVID-19 crisis they were literally running out of nutritious food to hand out to people in need.
“It had gotten to a panic stage” and Dr. Samuels says these next few months could be just as difficult.
“January, February, and March when no one thinks about hunger, that’s when it really hits,” Dr. Samuels said.
Springstead says, “These are Great Depression-era soup lines, bread lines, food lines. We haven’t seen a hunger crisis like this.”
Hungerthon is a chance for New Yorkers or anyone across the WCBS 880 listening area to pitch in and contribute to this cause. WHYHunger partners with various organizations to present one-of-a-kind auction items that people can bid on with the proceeds going to WHYHunger.
All auction items can be found at Hungerthon.org.
WCBS 880 has our own list of experiences that we are offering this year like video meet and greets with various members of the staff including Wayne Cabot, Tom Kaminski, Joe Connolly, Craig Allen, and Lynda Lopez. All of the 880 items can be found at Hungerthon.org/WCBS880.
One of the items we are also promoting is a virtual concert with Tom Chapin, the brother of WHYHunger founder Harry Chapin.
In an interview with WCBS 880 for Hungerthon, Tom Chapin told our Wayne Cabot and Tom Kaminski that this year is most important to help.
“We’re all facing this incredible pandemic now and it’s even worse right now,” he said.
The pandemic came in a year where WHYHunger and the Chapin family celebrated the release of a documentary about the life and work of Harry Chapin called “Harry Chapin: When In Doubt, Do Something.”
Tom Chapin told WCBS 880, “Think about it. He died in 1981, that’s 39 years ago and we’re still talking about him and these organizations, WHYHunger and Long Island Cares.”
Chapin said “it’s other people who have taken up the banner” after Harry’s death “and that’s exactly what we are doing today” with Hungerthon.
“There’s a way you can help, you don’t have to be Harry Chapin” but Hungerthon gives you a chance to “fill your shoes a little fuller and help those around you” as Harry used to do. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Jose Mourinho suggests Manchester United are likely to offer Michael Carrick a contract extension.
Carrick signed a one-year deal after Mourinho was appointed manager in the summer was expected to leave the club at the end of this season.
The former England international initially struggled for first-team football this term, but has been restored to the starting XI for the clashes with Swansea and Arsenal.
“Michael is 35 years old,” Mourinho said. “It is very sad to know that time flies for every one of us. He is such a fantastic player and it is a pity, I always loved him, but instead of being his manager when he was 25 I am his manager when he is 35.
“We have a good understanding. We know when he can play. We know when he is ready and when he needs a rest. I am still having Michael Carrick and probably for one more season.”
Carrick’s reintroduction to the side has coincided with an upturn in the form of world record signing Paul Pogba.
Ander Herrera, meanwhile, continues to impress, and Mourinho is encouraged by the balance of his current midfield.
“The midfield is playing very well,” he said. “Pogba, Carrick and Herrera, they are playing very well. Pogba is adapting much better in relationship to the intensity of the competition and he is much more confident.
“Obviously he plays with some guidelines over his position, but at the same time with some freedom to occupy some attacking areas where he feels and thinks he can be important. He is comfortable on the pitch. That is the best way of saying it.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Psychology Secrets of Chart-Topping Songs
Complete the form below to unlock access to ALL audio articles.
Psychologists have revealed some of the secrets of scoring a chart-topping, hit song.
JCU psychology lecturer Dr Amanda Krause was a co-author of the new paper. She said several studies show that a concept or object is more popular when it’s easier to process.
“We know for instance that instructions written in easier-to-read fonts make people feel they are better able to carry out these instructions.
“Similarly, there is research suggesting wine bottle labels with pictures are processed more easily than labels with text only and are also associated with higher purchase intent and perceived product quality,” said Dr Krause.
The researchers applied the notion of processing fluency (the ease with which information is processed) to the lyrics of more than 270 top 5 songs appearing on the United Kingdom chart for each week from 1999 to 2014.
The processing fluency of the lyrics was computer scored for readability, presence of rhyme, and complexity, and popularity was assessed in terms of peak chart position and duration on the chart.
“We found factors relating to the processing fluency of the lyrics predicted peak popularity but not their duration on the chart,” said Dr Krause
She said two of the processing fluency components were especially important.
“Songs with lyrics that were higher in Rhyme Saturation - the extent to which rhyme appears in the song - and Basic Lyric Readability Properties achieved a higher peak in the charts,” said Dr Krause.
But she said lyrics that were easier to process were not associated with songs spending longer periods of time in the charts.
“The differing results concerning peak popularity versus duration suggest that easier readability and higher rhyme saturation in the lyrics are related to short-term spikes in popularity rather than popularity over more extended periods of time.
“It’s tempting to speculate that this may arise because simple lyrics lead to the songs being quickly perceived as boring or repetitive, so that while the lyrics are quickly understood, they are also quick to lose their high level of popularity,” said Dr Krause.

Is their really anything worse then having to read someones' badly wrote sentence?
According to data released last year by Internet dating giant eHarmony, grammatical errors in online dating profiles are seen as red flags by prospective partners, who are 14 per cent less likely to message a user who has either inserted a punctuation mark, or spelt a word, incorrectly.
As a result, there are now a multitude of apps and online services which promise to polish your profile, banishing bad grammar from your shop window to present you as an articulate and available wordsmith in the online dating world.
• Seven infuriating online dating mistakes that men make
Dr Steve Carter, of eHarmony, worked with Grammarly – a self-styled 'writing-enhancement platform' – to gauge just how important the accuracy of language was to online daters. "Our research with Grammarly," he says "suggested that for men, at least, a poorly written online dating profile can make you less desirable to potential matches.”
Brad Hoover, CEO of Grammarly, agrees. He believes that proper punctuation and accurate spelling is an important part of how we are perceived in all walks of life, not just in our romantic pursuits. "Quality writing makes a good impression," asserts Hoover, "whether that's in a resumé or your dating profile.”
Whilst many companies have previously stated that dating is a numbers game, with statistics and probabilities to be played, this new wave of spellcheck services suggests that looking for love is all about the letters. From eFlirt (a company that rewrites your entire profile in eloquent English) to The Grade (basically Tinder – but where profiles are graded and those with Fs expelled), having a way with words seems to be crucial in the current dating arena.
Professor Wolfram Hinzen, of Durham University, believes that "different technologies such as WhatsApp influence our choice of particular aspects of our grammatical competence, but change nothing in that competence. We are just tuning it to different purposes, just as we tune our bodies depending on what we want to do with them."
But when it comes to good old fashioned love, the majority still appear to prefer good old fashioned grammar: The Grade counts slang and abbreviations such as "wassup", "yolo (you only live once)" and "fwb (fun with bae)" amongst the worst linguistic transgressions found in online dating profiles.
However, not everyone thinks that unique speech patterns are a bad thing. Geoffrey Pullum, Professor of General Linguistics at the University of Edinburgh, believes that those who "use grammatical variation as a clue, or shibboleth, to reveal social standing" are effectively "snobs".
"I have learned that some extraordinarily smart and interesting people disdain the idea that they should revise their non-standard dialects," explains Pullum. "Not so long ago I married one such person: a non-academic who grew up as a Northern Ireland farm girl and speaks a clearly non-standard Scots-influenced variety of Ulster English."
"'Me and her'll go with youse,' she'll say, rather than 'she and I will accompany you both'."
"If I had paid attention to such grammar details when we first met and got chatting, and taken no further interest in her because of her delightful non-standard speech, I would have been a fool.
"Those who imagine that they can judge a person's intelligence or suitability as a partner from minor aspects of syntax and morphology are utterly misguided." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Introducing NanoClear® CEC—a completion enhancement chemical that increases the oil recovery while fracturing a new well.
How does NanoClear® CEC work?
NanoClear® CEC contains nanoparticles which are 10-30 nm in size and are able to penetrate natural and induced fractures where traditional proppants do not reach.
Shown here under Scanning Electron Microscope are NanoClear® CEC’s nanoparticles coating the inside of a core which reflects the nanoparticles’ capability to alter wettability.
NanoClear® CEC has a significant impact on improving oil recovery as demonstrated in core flood testing.
Residual oil saturation post NanoClear® CEC treatment dropped by 62% and water saturation increased by 11%
Based on shifting the relative permeability curves, a clear wettability alteration was evident
NanoClear® CEC can effectively sweep pore spaces in the core mobilizing the oil, thereby resulting in higher oil recovery
Wettability alteration: contact angle & IFT
Contact angle testing has been completed on various cores. This image shows the contact angle between a water droplet and oil covered Eagle Ford Shale rock. The presence of NanoClear® CEC reduces contact angle by 22%. In comparison testing, NanoClear® CEC demonstrated a reduction of 16% in contact angle vs. traditional nanofluid.
Interfacial Tension (IFT) between Texas crude oil and different aqueous phases was measured. NanoClear® CEC reduced IFT by 42%. In addition, NanoClear® had a 20% reduction in IFT compared to traditional nanofluid demonstrating NanoClear® CEC’s higher performance.
Tests were conducted to evaluate de-emulsification capability of NanoClear® CEC. As shown here, NanoClear® CEC provides a fast separation of oil and water with a more distinct interface and higher clarity. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Repeated words are usually considered a big no-no. I like to think I catch most of them, but every now and then, I’ll proof/edit something and find the same word written a million times in two pages. (I may be exaggerating just a little bit.) Last night, I was going over a very short chapter, only about 1000 words or so, and in that 1000 words, I’d used the word “hope/hoped” at least four times. Good job, Thea. Good job.
That, at least, was pretty easy to fix. I was able to quickly swap in some other words that didn’t sound awkward at all. Other times, I don’t get so lucky. When writing The Edge of the Sphere, one of my problems was coming up with different ways to talk about water. “Water” itself doesn’t have a whole lot of synonyms. Sometimes I was able to describe the form of the water, like “pond”, “waves”, etc., but other times, water just had to be plain old water.
The two other troublesome words that immediately spring to mind are “smile” and “eyes”. Granted, maybe it should be a hint to me that my characters spend too much time grinning like idiots, but sometimes “grin” and “smirk” and the like have connotations that I just don’t want. While I’ll admit to occasionally using them, the frequently-used metaphors for “eyes”, such as “orbs”, usually make me roll my…sightballs. Eyes it is, then.
I’ve seen similar discussions come up with regard to using characters’ names and how much repetition is acceptable. While I’m confessing things, I’ll also admit to swapping in descriptors like “the blonde seductress” and “the rugged commander” when I’m getting tired of names and pronouns in the past. A lot of writers seem to feel that repetition of characters’ names is just fine. After giving it some thought, I’m inclined to agree. Especially when there are a lot of people of the same gender in a scene. Oof, those pronouns can get crazy in there.
Lastly, I’ll throw in a callback to my post about adverbs. Sometimes I’ll take the time to go back and look over some of my older writings and see what worked well and where I really need to improve. This exercise has made me cringe at times, because not only was I abusing the adverbs, I was using a lot of the same ones over and over and over again. Ouch. Those have been eliminated completely. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A list of the artists whose work you are most likely to see at this year’s Art Basel, based on the number of galleries who are bringing pieces, is headed—perhaps unsurprisingly—by the prolific Andy Warhol, with works on show at 28 stands. Artists making work in the first half of the 20th century rank highly, including Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso, although the list is also speckled with 1960s conceptualists such as Sol LeWitt and Lawrence Weiner. But the top 40 most represented artists on show at the fair are all men (see table).
“I don’t feel that female artists are being penalised, but there is a big male contingent here at the fair,” said New York art adviser Sima Familant. Gagosian’s stand (B7) includes just one female artist amid a sea of men, and she is hardly given star billing, as of last night at least. Yayoi Kusama’s meditative black and white painting is tucked in a side room, while sprawling works by Koons, Prince, De Kooning and Rauschenberg are dramatically splayed across the walls. But Gagosian outdid Paris-based Thaddaeus Ropac (B17) which is showing no female artists at all. Swiss gallery Thomas Ammann (B2) is caked with glittering Warhols. The only female artist on view—and it’s hard to find—is the late minimalist Agnes Martin. Her spare black and white geometric 1961 drawing is priced at $1.6m.
Dealers say that the imbalance can be partly explained by prices. Male artists continue to fetch the biggest sums at galleries and at auction. “Is it true that a Brice Marden drawing is a zillion times more expensive than a comparable work by a woman artist? Yes,” said Barry Rosen, who advises the estates of Eva Hesse and Lee Lozano. A small Van Gogh-inspired 1982 painting by Lee Bontecou, who is of the 1960s generation of artists such as Jasper Johns who command million dollar prices even for lesser examples, is for sale at Marianne Boesky (M3) for $120,000.
The fact that male artists command bigger prices also precludes some collectors from considering works by female artists. “It’s not only because they are women,” said Monika Sprüth of Sprüth Magers, which is showing a number of female artists on their stand (B12). “There are certain kinds of speculators in the art world who pride themselves on price, and this tends to favour certain male artists.”
Several women are edging up in fair representation, but it helps to be dead. The late Louise Bourgeois and Joan Mitchell, both presented by nine galleries apiece, rank highest. A series of 28 Bourgeois watercolours, Les Fleurs, completed three months before her death earlier this year, were sold on Art Basel’s opening day by New York’s Cheim & Read (A9) to a collector who has promised the works to a US museum. The group was priced at $1.4m.
The gallery was among the few at the fair with a female majority, featuring work by Pat Steir, Ghada Amer, Joan Mitchell and Lynda Benglis.
Cindy Sherman, who will be the subject of a retrospective at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in 2012, is being shown on just three stands. A seminal 1979 piece from her career-making series of “film stills”, portraying Sherman representing different archetypes, was sold during the fair’s opening day by her longtime gallery Metro Pictures (J12) for $1.5m. The work is from an edition of ten.
Other coveted female artists are also in short supply. Julie Mehretu can be seen at four stands—compared with ten stands boasting Jonathan Monk. Elizabeth Peyton’s moody portraits are also scattered around just four out of 303 stands.
Perhaps the dearth of female artists could be considered a compliment. “It could be that whoever buys art by women keeps it,” said Rosen.

The residency program offers creative opportunities to freelance directors.
Six theater directors have been selected to participate in the third Sundance Institute LUMA Foundation Theatre Directors Retreat in Arles, France from July 31-August 12. The retreat is part of the Institute’s year-round work with the theater community and is one of 24 residency Labs the Institute hosts each year for independent artists in theater, film, new media, and episodic content.
This year's selected directors are Daniel Fish, Michael John Garcés, Drama Desk nominee Anne Kauffman, Robert O’Hara, Rebecca Taichman, and Blanka Zizka. The retreat is under the supervision of Theatre Program Artistic Director Philip Himberg, Producing Director Christopher Hibma, and Program Associate Anne Kauffman. The 12-day program — the only director-centered residency of its kind — provides specific resources to directors in the field, including meeting the identified need for more opportunities to exchange ideas and practices with other mid-career, freelance directors.
"We are excited to continue our third collaborative year with the LUMA Foundation, which augments our long and deep history supporting playwrights," says Himberg. "It is rare for directors to find opportunities to share experiences, regroup, and find inspiration for upcoming projects. The retreat provides a forum for conversation among mid-career directors, and a bucolic landscape in which to prepare for upcoming productions."
Casts from Hell’s Kitchen, The Outsiders, and Death Becomes Her will perform. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Court Finds Armenia & Azerbaijan Guilty: Baku Hides Loss, Declares Victory
Ruling simultaneously on the Sargsyan vs. Azerbaijan and Chiragov vs. Armenia cases, the European Court of Human Rights decided on June 16, 2015 that Armenia and Azerbaijan had violated the rights of refugees who had fled during the Karabagh (Artsakh) conflict.
Azeri government officials, however, misled their citizens, declaring that Azerbaijan had won and Armenia had lost.
Here are the details of both court cases: On April 6, 2005, six Azerbaijani Kurds filed a joint complaint against Armenia with the European Court. They claimed to have been forced to flee their homes during the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict in 1992, after Armenian troops took over the Lachin region which separated Armenia from Artsakh. The Azerbaijani refugees alleged that Armenia had violated their rights under the European Convention on Human Rights: 1) protection of property, 2) right to respect for private and family life, and 3) right to an effective remedy.
On August 11, 2006, Minas Sargsyan filed a similar complaint against Baku in the European Court of Human Rights. He charged that Azerbaijan had violated his rights, the same ones claimed by the six Azerbaijani refugees, since he too was forced to flee in 1992 from his native village of Gulistan in the Shahumian region, controlled by Azerbaijan.
Both parties asked that their property rights be restored and demanded fair compensation.
In March 2010, after years of inactivity, the Court forwarded both cases to the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights, consisting of 17 judges from Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Cyprus, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, and Ukraine. The Grand Chamber’s decisions are final and not subject to appeal.
A decade after the these cases were first filed, the Grand Chamber issued two identical judgments on June 16, 2015, finding that both Armenia and Azerbaijan had violated the rights of each other’s refugees. In a lengthy document of 221 pages, including the two verdicts and the dissenting and concurring opinions, the Court ruled that the 20-year long peace negotiations did not free the two governments from their responsibility to protect the rights of hundreds of thousands of refugees. The Grand Chamber noted that there are over 1,000 individual applications pending before the Court, filed by Armenians and Azerbaijanis displaced during the Artsakh conflict.
The six Azerbaijani applicants claimed they had suffered $9 million in monetary damages and $330,000 in non-monetary damages. They further estimated their legal expenses to be around $65,000 as of October 2013. The Azerbaijani applicants’ representatives requested that an expert be appointed to evaluate the total damages their clients had incurred.
On the other hand, the Armenian applicant Minas Sargsyan had requested the restitution of his property, including the right of return to his home. He claimed $415,000 in monetary damages and $210,000 in non-monetary damages, in addition to non-specified legal fees.
Acknowledging “the exceptional nature” of the two cases, the Court did not make a final determination on awarding compensation or “just satisfaction.” The Grand Chamber asked the Armenian and Azerbaijani governments and the respective applicants to submit their “written observations on the matter” within 12 months, and “to notify the Court of any agreement that they may reach.”
In my opinion, the European Court’s parallel decisions were aimed at pressuring the two governments to expedite a negotiated settlement that would resolve all outstanding issues, including rights of refugees.
One of the most significant, yet unexpected outcomes of these court cases were the two written opinions — 25 pages each — by Judge Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque of Portugal and appended to the court’s verdicts, in which he presented a strong legal case for Artsakh’s independence: “Whenever a part of the population of a State is not represented by its government and the human rights of that population are systematically infringed by its own government, …the victimized population may have recourse ‘as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression,’ to use the powerful formulation of the preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” The Judge also wrote that when a State systematically abuses the human rights of a seceding population, it is lawful for another State to take military action in favor of the seceding population, after the latter has established control of its territory and declared its secession. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

DEU 30:11-20 YHWH's Law is Not too Hard / Blessing and Curse from YHWH's Law
For this commandment which I command you today is not too hard for you or too distant. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, “Who will go up for us to heaven, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?” 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who will go over the sea for us, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?” 14 But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. 15 Behold, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and evil. 16 For I command you today to love YHWH your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that YHWH your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it. 17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away and worship other gods, and serve them, 18 I declare to you today that you will surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it. 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants, 20 to love YHWH your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which YHWH swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Like many women of a certain age, I too have unfortunately fallen victim to the presence of pigmentation on my face. Having taken up residence during my pregnancies, I’ve spent the past seven years trialling all manner of wonder creams and treatments to rid my face of these unsightly and very ageing dark blotches, some have worked miracles, others have not fulfilled their promise of hope in a jar. So when I came across a product that actually delivered on what it said it was going to do, I felt that it was definitely worth sharing.
I was first introduced to Emma Lewisham’s Skin Reset Serum during the first of our many lockdowns in 2020. At the time, with life so unpredictable and grim, I decided to embark on a self-care regime in the hope of brightening my own outlook. I committed to trialling one new product consistently (which is usually my biggest area of failure) and to focus on a specific ailment or issue, ultimately hoping to see an actual result or some kind of transformation.
Sign up to our free EDM subscription today.
After choosing pigmentation as my first challenge I began using Emma Lewisham’s Skin Reset Serum on the recommendation of a friend. This serum has achieved cult status for its ability to seriously diminish pigmentation. What’s more, the entire Emma Lewisham range of skincare is 100 per cent clean, natural and non-toxic, which is no mean feat in the somewhat unscrupulous world of skincare, where bold, unsubstantiated claims, along with greenwashing, have become a mainstay of the industry. Lewisham is a vanguard for a totally transparent solution to skincare that sets a new standard.
Before & After
Over the course of four weeks, I applied the Skin Reset serum to my face, both morning and evening, after cleansing and before applying moisturiser and sunscreen. So what of its efficacy you ask? Well Denizens, to say that I am impressed with the results would be an understatement. I am so blown away by the diminishing of my pigmentation, that I am 100 per cent committed to continuing to use this product with the hope of declaring my face pigmentation-free in the not-too-distant future. After doing more research on why this serum has achieved what no others have done before, I learned that Lewisham’s commitment to ensuring both the quality and quantity of effective ingredients, results in a product that achieves far greater results, far sooner, than any competitive serum.
So if pigmentation is your woe, and you also care about the quality and safety of what you put on your skin, I suggest you support the gallant efforts of a stellar New Zealander who’s taking on the hefty world of beauty and winning.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, incorporating cycling into your routine can bring numerous benefits to your life. In this blog, we will explore ten compelling reasons why you should start cycling this year. From boosting your fitness level to reducing stress and improving the environment, cycling offers a multitude of advantages that can positively impact your overall health and lifestyle.
Improved Cardiovascular Health
Cycling is an excellent cardiovascular exercise that gets your heart pumping and improves circulation. Regular cycling strengthens your heart, lowers resting heart rate, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure. It helps improve overall cardiovascular fitness, leading to better endurance and stamina.
If you’re looking to shed some extra pounds or maintain a healthy weight, cycling is a fantastic option. It is a low-impact exercise that burns calories, helps boost metabolism, and promotes fat loss. Regular cycling, combined with a balanced diet, can contribute to weight management and improve body composition.
Increased Muscle Strength and Tone
Cycling primarily engages your lower body muscles, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. As you pedal and tackle inclines, these muscles work together, becoming stronger and more toned. Additionally, cycling also activates your core muscles, enhancing stability and overall body strength.
Unlike high-impact activities like running, cycling is a low-impact exercise that puts minimal stress on your joints. It provides a gentle workout that is easier on the knees, hips, and ankles, making it an ideal option for people with joint pain or those recovering from injuries.
Cycling is not just beneficial for your physical health but also for your mental well-being. Regular cycling releases endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones that elevate mood and reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It allows you to unwind, clear your mind, and experience the joy of being in nature, which can have a positive impact on your overall mental health.
Improved Lung Function
Cycling is an aerobic exercise that increases lung capacity and improves respiratory efficiency. Regular cycling helps strengthen the respiratory muscles, allowing them to work more efficiently and effectively deliver oxygen to the body. This can enhance overall lung function and benefit individuals with respiratory conditions such as asthma.
Enhanced Balance and Coordination
Cycling requires balance, coordination, and the ability to stay upright while navigating different terrains. As you ride, you improve your balance and sharpen your coordination skills, which can have positive effects on other physical activities and daily tasks.
Cycling is an eco-friendly mode of transportation that helps reduce carbon emissions and air pollution. By choosing to cycle instead of driving a car or using public transport for short journeys, you contribute to a cleaner and greener environment, making a positive impact on the planet.
Cycling provides opportunities for social interaction and community engagement. Joining cycling clubs, participating in group rides, or even commuting on bike-friendly routes can introduce you to like-minded individuals and create a sense of community. Sharing your cycling experiences and knowledge with others can be both fulfilling and inspiring.
Cost-Effective and Convenient
Compared to other fitness activities, cycling is a relatively cost-effective option. Once you have a bike, the ongoing costs are minimal. Cycling can be incorporated into your daily routine, whether it’s commuting to work, running errands, or enjoying recreational rides on weekends. It offers the flexibility to fit your lifestyle.
Embracing cycling as a regular activity brings a plethora of benefits to your physical, mental, and environmental well-being. From improved cardiovascular health and weight management to enhanced mental well-being and community engagement, cycling offers a holistic approach to a healthier lifestyle. With its low-impact nature, convenience, and affordability, there’s no better time than now to hop on a bike and experience the joys of cycling firsthand. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

After Starke Circuit Judge Kim Hall sentenced Justin Miller on Tuesday, relatives of Mercedes Lain wept and hugged in the courtroom’s gallery, the South Bend Tribune reported.
Miller, 37, pleaded guilty last month to a murder charge in Mercedes’ August 2021 death.
Hall accepted Miller’s plea agreement and sentenced him after hearing testimony from Plymouth police detectives and the FBI, who detailed how Miller initially lied to police about Mercedes’ whereabouts before showing them last Aug. 18 where he left her body in a wooded area of Starke County.
Tami Napier, a special deputy prosecuting attorney, sought the maximum sentence for Miller, noting the brutality of the crime and how he had repeatedly lied to investigators.
“This was a vicious, sustained, brutal attack on a 10-month-old child,” she said.
Miller said when he pleaded guilty in December that he was watching Mercedes — a relative’s daughter — at his girlfriend’s Mishawaka apartment when he struck the crying child “a couple of times” while he was high on synthetic marijuana.
After discovering that Mercedes was dead, Miller said he borrowed gas money from a neighbor, drove to Starke County and buried the baby’s body in the woods.
An autopsy found that Mercedes died from blunt force trauma to the head. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I thought I would post the BMR calculation here because it was a helpful tool (for me) when I was trying to determine how much I should be eating specifically to my age, height etc.
Before I do though there are a few things to say:
- 250 calories from a Mars bar is not the same as 250 calories from a fruit salad – one is obviously more unhealthy than the other (Damn you Mars bars being so tasty and so bad for me). So this calculation is not going to help you eat the right things.
- It is just a rough guide and not set in stone – everyone’s body works differently
- This is not a calorie counter for all weight loss it does not take activity into account and if you only use this figure you could become under-nourished and lose weight the unhealthy way (other than that it will pile back on when you start eating again anyways so a bit pointless)
What is Your BMR?
Your BMR is your “Basal Metabolic Rate” which is how many calories your body needs to keep itself running on a daily basis if you were to do nothing but rest all day. Using this calculation you can then account for the amount of exercise you do per day and come up with a calorie figure to try and stick too.
How To Use It
Your BMR can get an accurate idea of what you should specifically be eating according to your own body and how much you need to consume. This, in turn, lets you adapt your meal plans accordingly to lose weight, maintain it or even gain it depending on whatever your weight journey is. Personally, I use it to lose weight and help me better understand the calorie deficiency I need to meet without being too hungry while maintaining healthy weight loss. Plus it gives me a specific number to deal with and I find this easier when I am setting goals.
The BMR Calculation:
BMR = Women = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) – (4.7 x age in years)
or metric : 655.1 + (9.56 x weight in kg) + (1.85 x height in cm) – (4.68 x age in years)
BMR = Men = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) – (6.8 x age in years)
or metric : 66.5 + ( 13.75 x weight in kg) + (5 x height in cm) – (6.76 x age in years)
I have turned it into a handy printable so you can put it in your food or bullet journal or to keep it on hand and have included both the metric and imperial versions for men and women, just pick the one you want 🙂 | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The food drive has long been a part of Leesville Road’s pride. Since 2008, when I began my freshman year at Leesville, the Pride has ranked second in the Wake County total pounds of food collected to Sanderson High School. After coming in behind the Spartans for all those years, one would think that the students of Leesville would try their hardest to take the top prize, but no.
To no one’s surprise, for (at least) the third time in a row, Leesville took second place in the Food Drive during the 2010-11 school year. It appears that still we have not learned from our past losses or changed our goals as a school.
The sale of the “World’s Finest Chocolate” candy bars around the school is not uncommon over the course of the year. Many clubs take advantage of the average students’ sweet-tooth and sell $1 candies; including FBLA, Model UN, and Orchestra.
The instant gratification of a $1 chocolate bar will constantly trump the karma points one could get by giving to a bigger cause. Loonies will consistently throw away their cash on candy even if there is a food drive going on. Even in the holidays of giving, students will notoriously think only of themselves and what they can get right away.
The issue at hand is bigger than simply out-raising another school in the Food Drive. Bigger, even, than feeding the hungry and less-fortunate people of Central and Eastern North Carolina. This comes down to schools and students taking the responsibility to prioritize and focus on what matters most.
In the long run, what will matter more? Will it be having a snack in your third period, or will it be looking down the road and knowing that you helped to spread some sunshine to the less fortunate people of North Carolina during the holidays?
We should not forget that supporting Leesville’s clubs is important. Not all students use clubs as a resume boost, some actually will be FBLA’s and some are interested in foreign correspondence. In this way, sending them on trips and funding their knowledge is for the better. I am all for raising money for everyone, field trips for all! My only desire is that we do so responsibly. Raising money for any cause, and, as it happens, occasionally more than one at a time, simply comes down to timing.
Where are our priorities when we, as citizens of a mostly well-off country, spend our change on high-caloric chocolate bars, when others do not have the luxury of buying food on a whim and instead are forced to eat at the Food Bank?
So what can we do? The obvious answer is to schedule fundraisers at different times. Whether it’s a matter of crossed signals or simply poor planning, the ambition to raise money from generous student donations cannot be achieved if it is competing with a similar ambition of another group.
The next time you have a club meeting and you’re gearing up to sell those chocolate bars, check in with administration and other clubs to see if they are doing the same. Maybe we can all save some time, money and frustration this way.

Independent German drug major Boehringer Ingelheim has decided to discontinue the development of its investigational compound flibanserin for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).
A US Food and Drug Administration panel of advisers earlier this year voted unanimously that the benefits of flibanserin do not outweigh side effects, including fatigue, depression and fainting spells and by 10 to one that it did not increase female libido. The thumbs down probably came as no surprise as, ahead of the FDA’s Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee meeting to discuss the New Drug Application for flibanserin 100mg as a treatment for HSDD in pre-menopausal women, the agency’s reviewers had posted documents expressing reservations about the drug’s efficacy as well as side effects (The Pharma Letters June 17 and 21). The agency has subsequently also called for additional data to support the efficacy and safety profile of the drug.
“The decision was not made lightly, considering the advanced stage of development,” said Andreas Barner, chairman of the board of managing directors and responsible for the Corporate Board Division Pharma Research, Development and Medicine. “We remain convinced of the positive benefit-risk ratio of flibanserin for women suffering with HSDD,” he added.

Stainless steel comes in more than 100 grades and is preferred because of its strength, resistance to corrosion as well as hygiene. But before you buy 316 stainless steel tube which is usually recommended for different applications, there are some considerations you may need to make.
For many, it can be a challenge keeping in mind the different properties of the grades of steel available so when they find one that works, they choose to stick with it. That is why many people will buy 316 stainless steel tube since it usually works in most applications. If you are thinking of exploring other options, these are some things to keep in mind.
Exposure to Corrosion
Stainless steel has varied ranges of resistance to corrosion. Some grades can withstand much more than others so you need to consider how corrosive the environment they will be applied will be.
Austenitic grades like 316 have a high amount of chromium which makes them more corrosion resistant. However, some people may opt for 304 in areas where the corrosion will not be very intense and then 316 where the corrosion needs extra resistance. Because of the presence of Molybdenum in 316, it has a higher resistance than its close substitute 304.
If you are trying to save money, then a more affordable grade of corrosion-resistant steel would be ferritic stainless steel. They have lower amounts of chromium and nickel and this means the resistance is lower than Austenitic grades. Duplex grades are also an option in cases where cracking may occur if you use 316.
Will Heat be Applied
Different applications will require the use of heat or exposure to heat. For example, if welding has to be done, you need to be sure that the composition of the steel will make it suitable for that process. Alternatively, you should know the best way to apply heat to it. Austenitic steel like 304 has good weldability in comparison to ferritic steel which is more likely to crack in the process of welding. The best choice for welding would be duplex stainless steel grades like 407 or 430. Before you choose any grade for welding, get to know if it is susceptible to hot cracking. Such stainless steel grades cannot be welded.
In applications that may involve exposure to heat like in industries where hot substances will be passed through the tubes, 316 would be a good option since it can withstand high temperatures. This grade can also be used in vehicle engines that will operate at high temperatures.
This is simply its strength. Consider how much stress it is going to be put under and whether it will withstand the pressure. While you might consider the presence of nickel when judging the mechanical ability of stainless steel, it is equally important to know how it was processed. The strength of an alloy will be determined by its processing. This means you need to consider the manufacturer of steel. Some manufacturers may not follow the best process for making good mechanical grade steel.
When dealing with austenitic steel like 316, you should know that it is hardened through cold working unlike steel with a high carbon component which is hardened by applying heat. The cold working process however should only be used when the steel is going to be used in mechanical applications because this process compromises impact resistance.
The elements that make up an alloy will determine its magnetic properties. This is why different grades of steel have varying magnetic abilities. The presence of chromium can make steel magnetic, this however will not apply to every alloy because other compositions can change that feature.
Austenitic grade steel has chromium added to it however it is not magnetic because nickel is also added to it which removes the magnetic property. The amount of nickel varies in austenitic steel so some may have low magnetic properties while 316 and 310 are both non-magnetic because of the high amount of nickel added to it. This is one way of testing to see if it is genuine 316. If you bring a magnet close to 316, there should be no attraction.
So, if you need to apply stainless steel in a non-magnetic process, then 316 would be a good choice however if you need magnetic steel, ferritic steel is the better option.
There are several grades of stainless steel with varying properties. The best strategy to choose a grade would be to list down the properties you need in the application then search for the steel that has that property. Many of them have close substitutes that may cost less but note that sometimes this means you have to compromise certain properties if you choose a lower grade. Be sure that the choice you make will not negatively impact the application. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Disney has finally confirmed the date that hit Pixar blockbuster Inside Out 2 will arrive on its streaming services. The movie dominated the box office over the summer, but if you were unable to catch it in cinemas or your kids just want to watch it over and over again you may have eagerly been awaiting its home release.
Hide AdThe sequel to 2015’s Inside Out takes viewers back into the mind of Riley as Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust are rocked by the sudden emergence of new emotions. Months after its release on the big screen, the film will hit Disney Plus this week.
It is one of the most hotly anticipated streaming releases of this month (and possibly even the year). But when is the exact date it is available on Disney Plus and what time will it be available? Here’s all you need to know:
When is Inside Out 2 released on Disney Plus?
The House of Mouse had been keeping a lid on when the animated hit would arrive on its streaming service throughout the summer. However a date has finally been confirmed - and it is sooner than you might expect.
Inside Out 2 will be available on Disney Plus from Wednesday, 25 September. Inside Out (the 2015 film) is already on the streaming service.
Hide AdWhat time will Inside Out 2 be available to stream?
An exact time that the film will drop on Disney Plus has not been publicly confirmed by the entertainment giant. The app just says available 25 September.
However Disney Plus (at least for new episodes of streaming services) tends to update at 8am. So it may be worth checking later on the morning of 25 September to see if the film is available.
What is Inside Out 2 about?
The blurb on Disney Plus’ website reads: “Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley, just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Envy show up.”
How long is Inside Out 2 - and what is the age rating?
The film has a run time of 1 hour 42 minutes according to Disney Plus, making it ever so slightly longer than the original film. However, that does also include credits.
Hide AdInside Out 2 is rated for ages 6+, according to the streaming service. The BBFC gave it a U rating for the film’s release in cinemas in the UK earlier this year warning that it featured: very mild threat, language, upsetting scenes, violence, rude humour.
Is the Inside Out short film on Disney Plus?
If your kids just can’t get enough of the world of Riley and her emotions, there is a short film spin-off from 2015 (the same year as the original film) called Riley's First Date? It is 9 minutes long and it follows Riley's parents and their emotions, suspecting that Riley is going out on a date with a boy named Jordan.
How much does Disney Plus cost?
The streaming service (like most of the other major ones now) offers a range of tiers and packages for those thinking of subscribing. Disney Plus has an offer on the ad-support subscription currently - costing £1.99 per month for the first three months - but this ends on Friday, 27 September.

Keeping your pet flea and tick-free: A comprehensive guide
Fleas and ticks pose a constant threat to pet owners, leading to discomfort, skin issues, and potentially serious illnesses.
Fleas and ticks can be a persistent problem for pet owners, causing discomfort, skin irritation, and even transmitting diseases. Fortunately, with proper preventative measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of infestation.
Regular Grooming: A Vital Tool
Daily brushing is a simple yet effective way to keep your pet’s coat free from fleas and ticks. By regularly combing through their fur, you can physically remove these parasites before they have a chance to lay eggs.
When brushing, pay particular attention to areas like the ears, neck, and tail, as these are common hiding spots for fleas and ticks. Additionally, examining your pet’s skin for small, dark specks or tiny, spider-like creatures can help you detect infestations early on.
Preventive Medications: A Shield of Protection Against Fleas and Ticks
Veterinary-approved flea and tick medications offer a reliable way to safeguard your pet from these parasites. These products come in various forms, including oral medications, topical treatments, and collars.
To determine the most suitable option for your pet, consult with your veterinarian. They can recommend a product based on your pet’s age, size, lifestyle, and any underlying health conditions.
It’s crucial to follow the instructions provided with any preventive medication meticulously. Incorrect application or dosage can reduce its effectiveness.
Environmental Control: Breaking the Life Cycle of Fleas and Ticks
Fleas and ticks can thrive in your home environment, especially in areas with carpets, furniture, and bedding. Regular vacuuming can help eliminate adult fleas and their eggs from these surfaces.
Washing your pet’s bedding in hot water can also kill any parasites that may be lurking there. Additionally, consider treating your yard with a veterinarian-recommended product to prevent ticks from entering your home.
Yard Maintenance: A Tick-Resistant Haven
Ticks often reside in tall grass, brush, and wooded areas. By keeping your lawn short and removing any debris, you can create a less hospitable environment for these parasites.
Limiting your pet’s outdoor time during peak tick activity seasons can also help reduce the risk of exposure. If your pet does spend time outdoors, check them for ticks regularly and remove any that you find.
By incorporating these strategies into your pet care routine, you can effectively protect your furry friend from the nuisance and potential health risks associated with fleas and ticks. Remember to consult with your veterinarian for personalized advice and to ensure your pet’s overall well-being.

As coronavirus threatens to kill off print papers, a salaried opportunity for a journalist has arisen with a church in Rainham, Kent
In April, The Guardian’s Roy Greenslade highlighted the ongoing decline of newspapers in the UK and suggested the coronavirus pandemic would only accelerate this. Going further we argued that this “epoch of change” would make us all the poorer, but, now, we can share a positive piece of news about the press.
Highlighted this morning in the Guardian with the headline: “The good news: Kent church posts vacancy for journalist,” Harriet Sherwood reported that the St Margaret’s parish church in Rainham, Kent is “hiring a full-time journalist to help ‘build community life’ after a survey of parishioners found a demand for local news and communication.”
In their advert for the £20,000 per year salaried post, the church announced:
“For thousands of years, it is story telling which has kept communities together. Now, more than ever before we need someone like you to tell our stories so that we might stay together even when physically we are apart.”
“Whether it’s telling the story of the local fish shop, how the restaurant owners are coping whilst shut or the history behind ‘The Oast’ House and what it’s doing now – we want a multi skilled, qualified journalist to join our staff team as soon as possible.”
“Half of the stories you produce will focus on the local community – its people and groups, schools and new housing. The other half will focus on telling the story of the church, its people, purpose and history. You’ll also take a lead on all of our digital content including overseeing the live streaming of our services. We believe this is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference in a local community through serious journalism.”
The successful candidate will be expected to “originate and produce a wide variety of news and current affairs content for relevant output across the church’s digital platforms and to oversee St Margaret’s digital presence/profile” and will report to the vicar and church wardens.
Of why they had decided to make such an appointment, the bishop of Tonbridge Simon Burton Jones, told the Guardian:
“The shrinkage in local journalism as advertising gravitates online is already having really important consequences at community level. As local papers disappear … their long-standing and important links with their communities can be lost. Online alternatives like clickbait, lists, gossip and the like are no substitute for real journalism.”
A closing date of 22nd June has been set for applications. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

For The Zoe Report's fall fashion issue, TZR editors are sharing the Fall/Winter 2019 pieces they’re most excited to welcome into their wardrobes. For deputy editor Angela Melero, that includes a few key pieces that vibe with her colorful personal style — plus a shearling coat that's as cozy as they come.
Since I was a little girl, I've gravitated toward colorful, whimsical clothing. My childhood closet was packed with lace, floral print dresses, shimmery blouses, and neon footwear. I always wanted my clothing to be a reflection of my personality, not to mention a nice pick-me-up from the mundane aspects of my day-to-day. I'm happy to report that at 33 years old, nothing much has changed. As a grown woman with her own bank account and sartorial know-how, I still channel that little girl in hot pink overalls in that I stick to vibrant pieces. I will say that I've tailored my preferences to feel a bit more grown-up and versatile.
The fall and winter seasons have always been my favorite times of year in that there's a particular magic surrounding them. In addition to the holidays, the colder months bring an almost fantasy-like quality that translates nicely to my wardrobe. I love the process of shopping for a new shearling coat (which is mainly for show, since it barely dips below 70 degrees here in LA), dainty, frilly cardigans, and whimsical dresses with some dramatic flair.
This coming season's offerings of my aforementioned favorites are making me downright giddy. Despite the dreary temps ahead, color and texture are as vibrant as ever, with trendy neon shades of yellow, fuchsia, and pistachio taking over the fall color palettes, and fuzzy, cozy fabrics serving as the perfect backdrop. To give you a preview of what my closet will be looking like for the next three months, here are the five pieces I'm investing in for fall.
Isabel Marant Coat
Despite the fact that I live in always-sunny Los Angeles, I try to invest in a cozy jacket every fall/winter season. This year, I'm all about the teddy bear coat, as it's appealing from both a practicality standpoint (should temps dip below 60 degrees, or I head to a snowy climate) and a trendy one.
Ulla Johnson Dress
Fuchsia is the shade for fall, and it seems the brighter the hue, the better. I love that this Ulla Johnson piece features two rich shades of pink for a bold effect that still feels very fall. (I plan on offsetting the shade with some equally trendy white knee boots.)
My closet consists of a vast amount of white or beige tops, which clearly I can never have enough of. In the colder months, this neutral obsession translates to cream or ivory sweaters. I love the dainty details on this cardigan that reads very vintage.
Gianvito Rossi Boots
A beige, slouchy pair of knee boots like these from Gianvito Rossi are a wear-with-everything staple for me, as I can slip them on over jeans or trousers, or layer them under my fave cold-weather frocks.
These silk pants from Staud take the pumpkin spice movement to chic new levels — and I'm here for it.

Welcome to the forum.....and you have an ugly situation. If you cannot absolutely get to the bolt heads above then there are not a lot of options unless someone else can suggest something clever.
So I assume you have no space between the head of the bolt and the nut you are trying to remove and the nuts are frozen onto the bolts (probably from road grime exposure). Start with some PB Blaster or other rust release spray on the nuts. If there was some space above the nut you could try prying down on the nut with a flat screw driver or other flat tool to put the bolt head in tension and try to break the nut loose with a wrench while prying down on it. This is subject to slippage and not a great option.
If there is enough of the bolt threads exposed below the frozen nut, you might try another method below (you canít grab the bolt with vice grips or you will damage the threads and sounds like you wonít be able to replace the bolts from above). The other approach if there is enough bolt below is to use two appropriate nuts and thread them on below and jam them together (tighten them onto themselves) but not against the frozen nut. Try and break the frozen nut loose with a wrench while holding the jam nuts with a wrench or vice grips. That is a PIA situation but under the steps is a double PIA. My sympathies. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Short If you're looking to book a cruise, Travelocity might save you some money compared to booking directly with cruise lines, but their service has some major drawbacks. You won't find many special perks or bonuses with their bookings, as less than 1% of their cruises come with extra benefits like onboard credits or drink packages. While they offer access to over 20 cruise lines and don't charge booking fees, their poor customer service ratings and lack of travel agent support suggest you might want to book your cruise elsewhere.
Expedia offers some savings on cruise bookings compared to direct bookings, with discounts (up to $126 in one case) and good search features. But there are major problems with this online travel agency. It has a very low 1.2-star rating average on Trustpilot, bad customer service, unclear fees, and confusing rules for cashing in your bonus offers like onboard credits. While you can sort cruise options easily and book different travel services together, the many negative customer reviews about refunds and communication issues make it too risky to book your cruise through Expedia.
Cruise vacations are an experience like no other, combining relaxation, adventure, and a variety of destinations - all while unpacking your bags just once. Whether you're a first-time cruiser looking for a family-friendly getaway or an experienced traveler searching for a luxury experience, online cruise vacation booking sites can help you find the perfect match. These platforms solve common problems, such as comparing different cruise lines, finding the best deals, or narrowing down your options based on specific needs like budget, amenities, or destination.
Some booking sites offer sailings from dozens of cruise lines, from mainstream ones like Carnival and Royal Caribbean to more specialized luxury brands like Seabourn or Oceania. The more options available, the easier it is to find the perfect cruise for your preferences.
Some sites focus only on cruise bookings and offer specialized knowledge, perks like onboard credits and included gratuities, and great customer service. Other cruise vacation sites may seem to have lower prices but charge booking and cancellation fees and offer less specialized help. General travel agency sites may include cruise bookings as part of their services, but they may offer fewer perks and don't handle cruise-specific concerns as well as the specialists can.
Some cruise booking services charge booking fees, cancellation fees, or both - sometimes in addition to the cruise line's fees. Look for a booking site that is transparent about their cancellation, refund, and booking policies - and in writing.
When you shop for cruises online, there are several important factors to consider before making a booking. Here's a quick overview to help you navigate your options:

Everything there is to know about the Thoughtful Marketing movement
Started by flower delivery company, Bloom & Wild in 2019, the Thoughtful Marketing Movement has grown exponentially in recent years, with more ‘opt-out’ or ‘hit pause’ emails landing in inboxes ahead of Mother’s Day than ever before.
What is Thoughtful Marketing?
Thoughtful Marketing refers to deliberate action by a brand to allow their audience to opt-out of brand communication at difficult or sensitive times—the most common examples of this are Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day and Christmas. A key part of the initiative is the awareness that the more brands that do this, the better the world will be for people at particularly triggering times.
Where did Thoughtful Marketing come from?
Bloom & Wild saw an increase in customers getting in touch with them to ask if they could unsubscribe for emails around Mother’s Day but then re-subscribe once the day had passed. In line with this, they asked their database if they would like to opt-out for this period and set-up email segmentation accordingly. They were overwhelmed by the response, which you can hear more about from Bloom & Wild’s Brand & Communications Director, Charlotte Langley, in the interview with SOUP agency's founder, Amanda Perry, below.
Why should I make Thoughtful Marketing part of my campaign?
The Bloom & Wild team say it best themselves, “We believe in doing business thoughtfully. Because when you treat your customers the same way you treat your closest friends, you unlock this caring two-way relationship that rewards you with trust, love and loyalty.”
How can I get started?
The simplest and most effective way to start implementing Thoughtful Marketing is through your email campaign.
Through whichever platform you use to create your emails, you should have the functionality to build lists. Start by creating a list specific to that occasion and year, and then simply ask your audience via email if they would like to temporarily opt-out for this period.
Those who have clicked yes can be added to the list you have created, which can then be suppressed for all communication specific to that subject. Once the period has passed, simply remove the suppression and that audience will continue to receive all communications again from that point onwards.
Bloom & Wild have provided a handy step-by-step guide on the Thoughtful Marketing Movement website. Find out more here. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

According to the Young and the Restless spoilers for winter 2020, an old cast is expected to reenter the show. Also, there will be a guest appearance. Blessing of Christmas may bless a couple with an expectancy. Fenmore will spend cordial moments with family. Amanda may have a shocking revelation, and two of the couples may reunite this winter. Genoa City will keep heating even in the cold delights.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Cordial Moments For Fenmore
Fenmore Baldwin is returning to Genoa City. He will have a merry Christmas along with his parents Michael and Lauren. The spoilers tease some emotional moments for Fenmore, regarding his drug addiction and the trauma suffered in the past. He will open up to his people about the complexities. However, the spoilers suggest Fen will make some bold moves after his comeback. Fans in the past have seen him struggling with rehab and escaping from jail while Adam blackmailed Michael, for his son’s drug scene. It seems that Fenmore is recovering from the trauma of his past.
Talking about Michael and Lauren, they will catch up with their friends. The couple will have a date along with Christine and Paul. What is the cause of their reunion? Is it a casual Christmas meeting, or they are trying to twist a crime?
The Y&R Spoilers: Chloe To Welcome Grandchild?
The Young and the Restless spoilers predict the return of an old cast. A few months ago, Michael Baldwin stated in an interview that Gloria was his favorite. The statement from the actor started the speculations of Gloria’s comeback. Once again, the rumors are roaming around, as the spoilers tease Chloe and Kevin may disclose the news of a baby. It will increase the chances of Gloria’s return, as she is a must to welcome a grandchild.

Is it the new book he and Traci were working on? Whatever the thing, it will be heartfelt to Jack.
The Y&R Spoilers: Amanda Fever
The Young and the Restless spoilers predict a shocking story for Amanda. The fact that she is adopted may end up linking her with Hilary. Amanda looks like Hilary, and she is an adopted child. Does it indicate she is Hilary’s twin? Besides, Devon, Nathan, and Billy all are attracted to Amanda. Devon has a reason because Amanda looks like Hilary, who was the love of his life. Nathan also wants more than friendship with her because he knows her well and what happened to Billy? He has a wife and a settled life why he is always around Amanda? So many delegates are ready to romance with the lawyer. Would anyone of them succeed?
The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Couples Reunion
The Y&R spoilers say that fans may witness a reunion of Nick and Phyllis and also Adam and Chelsea. Adam has called the Red, convincing her to pursue her desire, but the plan didn’t work.

Highly efficient, high speed technology for satellite communications Nano-satellite achieves the highest communication speed yet
A group including University of Tokyo researchers used 64 APSK, a highly efficient signal modulation technology, to successfully demonstrate 505 Megabits per second (Mbps) communications with the Hodoyoshi-4 nanosatellite, the highest communication speed yet achieved with an earth-observation micro satellite. This high-speed communications technology will be of great value to future generations of earth observation micro satellites of under 100 kg.
In recent years Earth observation satellites are increasingly being equipped with high resolution cameras and radar able to discern objects of a few tens of centimeters in size. High-speed transmission systems are required to transmit the observational data obtained from such sensors to the surface of the Earth. However, the frequency bandwidth available for such use is limited, so in order to speed up transmission speeds, research has focused on development of technologies that make efficient use of the available frequency bandwidth.
When using electromagnetic waves to transmit digital data, information can be assigned to each combination of phase (frequency) and amplitude so that when the wave is received, the original information can be decoded by estimating the phase and amplitude that was transmitted. One promising technology that makes efficient use of frequency bandwidth and that is being pursued is 64 APSK, or 64 amplitude and phase shift keying. In 64 APSK, the 64 possible combinations of amplitude and phase allow the transmission of 6 bits of information, making it 1.5 to 2 times more efficient than conventional technologies. However, it is highly susceptible to noise and had yet to be demonstrated in Earth observation satellite.
The research group of Professor Shinichi Nakasuka at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Engineering and Professor Hirobumi Saito at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has developed the most efficient 64APSK data transmission system yet for an Earth observation satellite. The system was installed in the Hodoyoshi 4 satellite, which has a mass of just 64 kg, produced by Professor Nakasuka’s group. Using this system, the research group transmitted data from Hodoyoshi 4 at a rate of 505 Mbps to the ISAS 3.8m antenna station at the JAXA Sagamihara Campus, where it was received and successfully decoded.
“This is the fastest communication speed achieved with a micro satellite and builds on our earlier achievement of a record 348 Mbps in February 2015,” explains Professor Saito. He continues, “In this demonstration, only the 125MHz radio frequency bandwidth was utilized from among the full bandwidth allocation. Using the full available bandwidth, it is technically possible to achieve 3,000 Mbps data transfer rates. With proposals to deploy hundreds of micro satellites to send back near real-time images or movies of the Earth, this type of high speed communications technology will become essential.”

This activity report presentsthe results of a workshop on lessons learned from Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) explored approaches, ways and arrangements under MEAs of relevance for the UNFCCC’s work in facilitating results on pre-2020 ambition. Part I of the workshop included three “scene-setting” interventions on relevant MEA experiences regarding: the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES); the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs); and the Montreal Protocol. Part II included a general discussion on: the approaches to and arrangements for increasing ambition that other MEAs have employed; and the extent to which these could be replicated in the UNFCCC framework.

We hope this email finds you happy, healthy, and looking forward to a more “normal” Holiday season. The union campaign at Toyota continues to grow and exciting developments are on the horizon.
2020 has been a very challenging year for Toyota Team Members and Unifor Organizers alike. Our lives have been changed by the pandemic and public health restrictions, making it harder to stay in touch and to organize.
Getting back to in-person meetings and face-to-face conversations with Team Members is so important for this campaign and things seem to be headed in that direction.
Throughout the pandemic, Unifor Organizers and Team Members kept the campaign running. We developed an electronic union membership card recognized by the Ontario Labour Relations Board, we’ve also stayed in touch with TMs through regular email campaigns, connected with you via phone calls and text messages, organized Zoom meetings and online townhalls, held socially-distanced curbside Information leaflet drops, and even knocked on TM’s doors when restrictions have allowed it.
Despite extremely difficult circumstances, thousands of cards have been signed so far and thanks to the support of Team Members like you, the campaign has a solid foundation to take things to the next level.
Hundreds of Team Members are now directly involved and actively supporting the campaign. Your fellow Team Members are ready to talk and help connect you with Unifor Organizers to answer any questions and help you find out more about your rights.
Everyone has a role to play in this union drive no matter how small. Everything from talking with Team Members on the assembly line to helping distribute fact sheets helps contribute to a more informed and engaged workplace.
Union organizers are here to help but we can’t do it alone. There’s an important role in this union drive for you. Just reach out to Unifor’s Organizing Team at the coordinates below.
Union membership cards are valid for one calendar year. Be sure to renew your union card if you haven’t already. If your card is expired or expiring soon, please take 90 seconds out of your day to renew your card by visiting unifor.org/toyotacard
We look forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead. Let’s make history together and get Toyota Team Members the voice in the workplace that they deserve.

Why Run Ethanol?
Due to rising gas prices and the push for alternative fuel sources, ethanol, derived primarily from corn, has become a common, cost-effective fuel choice. Ethanol has now found its way into most modern gas stations and the community now understands its list of benefits in comparison to gasoline, such as the fact ethanol burns cleaner, cooler and is more resistant to detonation. Because of these characteristics, ethanol is a cheap alternative to expensive race fuels like race gas and/or methanol, especially with high(er) compression factory turbocharged vehicles.
E85 = 85% Ethanol and 15% Gasoline whereas E30 = 30% Ethanol and 70% Gasoline and so-on.
What is Flex Fuel?
In a nutshell, “flex-fuel” allows an internal combustion engine to flexibly utilize one or more different fuels (usually gasoline blended with either ethanol or methanol fuel), and both fuels are stored in the same common fuel tank. Flex-Fuel systems utilize an ethanol content analyzer to determine the amount of ethanol in a fuel system and a converter to send this reading to the vehicle’s ECU to instantaneously adjust for varying fuel mixtures.
The PRL Motorsports Plug ‘n Play WiFi Flex-Fuel / Ethanol Content Analyzer Kit allows customers to wirelessly monitor ethanol content via any smart device or enable flex fuel via an optional 0.5-4.5V configurable output with a tuning device. Their innovative Patent Pending design utilizes the factory fuel line, which eliminates the chance for alternative fuel line deterioration and improves aesthetics. This kit utilizes factory plugs/outputs under the hood for power and communication to the ECU, meaning no need for additional wiring, cutting, splicing or running wires to the fuse box or through the firewall into the cabin! All hardware and bracketry is included for quick and easy installation. Kits can be installed and uninstalled within minutes. Please note that this kit does NOT utilize an ethanol content gauge, as PRL feels that this is unnecessary. Hondata and KTuner V1.2 both offer Bluetooth capabilities, while the KTuner V2 LCD screen can be used to display ethanol content if desired. All components are ethanol compliant! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
RMJM showcase Barnet College campus
August 19 2008
Barnet College, one of England’s largest further education institutions, has unveiled the first images of its plans for a new campus in Colindale, North London.Identified as an ‘opportunity area’ by the Mayor of London, Colindale is undergoing an unprecedented phase of regeneration and is set to see some 10,000 new homes built in the coming years as well as hundreds of new jobs for the area. Key to the London Borough of Barnet’s vision for Colindale is the improvement of local education facilities and the College’s new state-of-the-art campus will play a key role in the area’s ongoing renaissance.
The development will see the relocation of two centres to a central campus close to Colindale underground station. Accommodating a variety of curriculum activities, the state-of-the-art seven storey building will also provide facilities open to the local community including hair and beauty salons, hospitality training suites and a new restaurant.
RMJM director Matt Cartwright, leading the design team commented: “This new campus for Barnet College is an important milestone for the college and for the local community - it will lead the way in transforming Colindale. Urban regeneration must start at a community level and this new campus aims to deliver outstanding community facilities as well as its all important education function.”
The College’s Principal, Marilyn Hawkins, said: “This is an exciting project. The College has a tremendous reputation for delivering quality vocational training for young people aged 14 -19 at our current Grahame Park site. This new centre would allow the College to move to new levels of excellence in modern, purpose-built facilities. This is especially important with the new emphasis on apprenticeships and as the new specialist vocational 14-19 diplomas - in which the College is playing a leading role - come on stream. The design ideas are striking and very versatile, creating a building of which the community will be proud.”
Barnet College submitted an Application in Principal for funding to the Learning Skills Council at the end of July 2008.

What is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
Pelvic floor dysfunction is the inability to control the muscles of the pelvic floor.
Pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles and ligaments in the pelvic region that support the bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum and help in the functioning of these pelvic organs. Coordinated contracting and relaxing of the pelvic floor muscles controls bladder and bowel functions - the pelvic floor should relax to allow for bowel movements, urination, and, particularly in women, sexual intercourse.
Causes of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Most causes of pelvic floor dysfunction have multiple causes. Physicians have associated this condition to events or conditions that has resulted in pelvic muscle weakness, such as:
- Trauma or injury to the pelvic region
- Pelvic surgery
- Radiation treatment
- Heavy lifting
- Nerve damage, especially to the lower spinal region
Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
There are several symptoms that are associated with pelvic floor dysfunction. Some of the common symptoms include:
- Urinary issues, such as urinary urgency, frequency, hesitancy, or painful urination
- Pain in the pelvic region
- Muscle cramps in the pelvic region
- Discomfort during sexual intercourse
- A feeling of incomplete bowel movements
- Lower back pain
Diagnosis of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
As part of the diagnostic process, your physician will review your medical history and symptoms and perform a thorough pelvic examination to check for prolapse of the various pelvic organs, muscle weakness, muscle tears, and other signs.
Your physician may also order additional tests to determine the exact cause of the pelvic floor dysfunction. These tests include:
- Multichannel urodynamics to evaluate bladder filling, emptying and identify any incontinence. This is performed in the office and an integral part of the pre-operative evaluation for most women with pelvic organ prolapse.
- Cystoscopy to look into the bladder to identify any structural abnormalities such as stones, tumors or other lesions.
- Anorectal manometry to evaluate the functionality of control muscles and rectum and strength of these muscles
- Electromyography (EMG) to evaluate the functionality of several nerves in the urethral and anal sphincter muscles and pelvic floor
- Pelvic, 3-dimensioanl and endorectal ultrasound to obtain images of the pelvic structures, such as control muscles, urethra, rectum and any previously implanted grafts/mesh.
- Videodefecography, a special x-ray that is taken during a bowel movement to check muscle movement and is a crucial test to determine pelvic floor dysfunction
- Colonic transit study is a series of x-rays that evaluates the passage of stool through the colon to detect potential locations and causes of constipation
Treatment of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
The objective of pelvic floor dysfunction treatment is to improve symptoms of urinary, fecal or vaginal dysfunction by normalizing anatomy, support and function of the pelvic floor muscles. The treatment varies based on the cause of the dysfunction and severity of the symptoms and includes:
- Biofeedback: This method is a very effective treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction where a specifically-trained Physical Therapist assesses the pelvic floor muscles as the patient attempts to relax or contract them. Your therapist will then provide guidance to teach you how to improve muscle function and coordination. This usually requires a few sessions.
- Medication: Your physician may prescribe a muscle relaxant to deal with pelvic floor dysfunction. The relaxant prevents involuntary contractions of pelvic muscles and helps in relaxing the muscles if they are overly tight. Other medications may be prescribed for overactive bladder, urinary retention, prevention of urinary tract infections, and local estrogen replacement.
Surgery: if your pelvic floor dysfunction results in vaginal, uterine or rectal prolapse, surgery may be necessary. Surgery helps in normalizing support of the affected pelvic organs and allowing their normal function. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

One of the world’s most recognized weeds, crabgrass (Digitaria spp.) is a light-green to bluish-green-colored summer annual that invades just about every turfgrass situation. Several Digitaria species occur including: tropical crabgrass (D. bicornis); smooth crabgrass (D. ischaemum); India crabgrass (D. longiflora); southern crabgrass (D. ciliaris); large crabgrass (D. sanguinalis); and blanket crabgrass (D. serotina). Generally, crabgrasses are tufted, or prostrate to spreading summer annuals with branched stems that root at the lower nodes and can grow up to 3 feet tall if left unmowed. Leaf blades are often longer than 2 inches (5 cm.), usually hairy on both surfaces with tall, visible toothed, membranous ligule at the base of pointed leaves. The leaf vernation is rolled and often the leaf sheaths have dense hairs. The main form of reproduction is from seed, with some spreading from stolons. Crabgrass can tolerate poor growing conditions, but is found in nearly every soil type and crop. An important distinction of blanket and India crabgrass is their ability to form extensive mats due to their creeping stolons.
What To Look For
Crabgrass grows in light-green to bluish-colored clumps which germinate in early spring, often corresponding with other flowering plants such as forsythia, redbuds and pears. One plant is capable of producing 150,000 seeds yearly, and seeds can remain viable for at least three years in soil. Crabgrass has a high light requirement for optimum germination, thus, healthy, thick turf often discourages its invasion. Crabgrass generally germinates in early spring when soil temperatures at 4-inch depth are 53-55°F for three consecutive days, and grows until a killing frost occurs. In areas without frost, it can act as a short-term perennial. Seedheads form a digitate shape where the branches arise from a common point, resembling the upward extending fingers of a hand. Herbicide resistance has been reported with the dinitroaniline herbicides and fenoxaprop-ethyl, but only in isolated instances. Rotating between herbicides with different modes of action is the best means of preventing, or at least delaying, resistance occurrence.
Crabgrass control begins with an application of a preemergence herbicide applied in late-winter/early spring prior to 4" soil temperatures reaching 50°F. A key Envu solution for preemergence control in warm-season turf is Specticle® FLO. Control has been excellent with Specticle, but should be used only on well-established turf that isn’t affected by nematode damage, spring dead spot disease, insufficient establishment, winter-kill, shaded turf, etc.
For postemergence control, Tribute® Total can be used in bermudagrass and zoysiagrass. Typically, best results occur on smaller plants. Other postemergence herbicides in bermudagrass and zoysiagrass golf turf include Acclaim® Accelerate. On cool-season turf, Acclaim Extra, Acclaim Accelerate, Terradex™ Crabgrass & Broadleaf, or Acuvis™. are highly effective options. In sites with traditionally heavy populations, both preemergence and postemergence products are typically required for sufficient control.

Check these practical questions and answers about archiving research data at the UT. For other questions you can contact the data steward in your faculty.
- What kind of data materials can I archive?
You can archive all types of datasets, both as supportive material to a publication (PhD-theses, journal articles, etc.) and as stand-alone items.
Datasets may be accompanied by related materials, such as
- specific viewing and analysis tools (models, algorithms, scripts, analysis or simulation software, schemas)
- laboratory or field notebooks, diaries
- questionnaires, transcripts, codebooks
- standard operating procedures and protocols
- informed consent forms
- Can I archive datasets at any moment during my research?
Yes, as long as archiving fulfils the following requirements:
- it is aimed at securing data authenticity, verification and/or reuse
- the data are static, so not subject to changes anymore.
- Should I archive all datasets?
- Can I archive datasets on the M- or P-drive?
The M- or P-drive are not suitable for long-term persistent storage of data because they cannot guarantee that the datasets will remain immutable, which is a prerequisite for the authenticity of the data.
- Why can I best publish datasets in a trusted data repository?
- the explicit mission to provide access to and preserve data in its domain,
- having a continuity plan to ensure ongoing access to and preservation of its holdings and
- having adequate funding and sufficient numbers of qualified staff managed through a clear system of governance to effectively carry out the mission.
- Are the datasets FAIR when archived in Areda and published in a trusted data repository?
Whether datasets are FAIR highly depends on the way they are described by means of metadata and documentation, more than merely the location where they are archived or published. Look at Making data FAIR for more information.
- What data should I archive and publish?
The table below presents what to archive and publish depending of the purpose of preservation.
What to archive/publish
Datasets underlying to research results in publications, plus analysis tools (scripts, etc.)
All raw datasets relevant for further or other research, together with necessary scripts, models, software etc. and documentation
publicationDatasets which are refined for publication, together with additional documentation
- How can I archive personal or other confidential data?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that personal data (any information related to an identified or identifiable natural person) are not kept longer than necessary to achieve the purposes for which they are processed. If longer preservation is needed, anonymization is preferred.
When datasets contain personal data, please be aware that file encryption is needed when archiving. Instruction about file encryption is offered during the Areda archiving process.
- Can data subjects demand that their data are to be erased?
If the data subjects agreed in the participation of your research project, it means that they implicitly agreed in archiving the research data. Therefore, they cannot demand that their data should be erased before the end of the retention period.
In case data subjects want to exercise their right, they can contact the Data Protection Officer (DPO).
- Which formats should I choose for the data files? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In today’s fast-paced and increasingly complex professional environment, maintaining clear ethical boundaries is more important than ever. The pressures faced by helping professionals—whether in counseling, therapy, social work, or related fields—can lead to challenging situations where personal and professional boundaries are tested. Ensuring that these boundaries are respected not only protects clients but also safeguards the well-being and integrity of the professional.
This training offers an exploration of boundary violations and the impact of impairment, both of which can significantly affect the quality of care. With a focus on practical solutions and ethical frameworks, the training aims to provide professionals with the tools they need to navigate these critical issues confidently, while meeting continuing education requirements.
- Attendees will discriminate between boundary blurring, boundary extending, and boundary violations in the helping professions.
- Attendees will learn strategies for responding to boundary concerns in self and others (i.e. colleagues).
- Attendees will refresh the concept of impairment to be able to specify signs of impairment in self and others, ethical considerations, and strategies for response.
- Attendees will gain insight into their own signals for distress as a means of preventing impairment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Why El Cajon, CA, Stands Out
El Cajon’s appeal lies in its warm, welcoming atmosphere and year-round sunny weather, perfect for those who love the outdoors. Tucked between the scenic local mountains, this community offers a balanced lifestyle that feels both connected to nature and close to the amenities of city life. Residents here enjoy a vibrant calendar of community events, including vintage car shows, cultural festivals, and seasonal gatherings that foster a tight-knit and inclusive neighborhood.
Housing Options for Every Lifestyle
El Cajon has a diverse range of housing options to suit every lifestyle and budget. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a growing family, or a retiree seeking a relaxed pace of life, you’ll find plenty to choose from here. Popular neighborhoods include:
- Rancho San Diego – A suburban favorite with tree-lined streets and a family-friendly vibe.
- Granite Hills and Crest – Known for their more rural charm, these areas offer expansive views and larger properties, ideal for those looking for a bit more space.
The El Cajon real estate market is particularly attractive to homebuyers seeking more affordable options than coastal San Diego. With housing prices still more accessible than in the city, investing in El Cajon is a smart choice for anyone hoping to build equity as the area’s popularity and property values continue to rise.
Community Amenities and Lifestyle
One of El Cajon’s most attractive features is its range of amenities that make life convenient and enjoyable. You’ll find everything you need within reach:
- Outdoor Parks and Recreation – With local parks and recreational spaces, residents can enjoy hiking, biking, and outdoor sports just minutes from home.
- Shopping and Dining – El Cajon offers a variety of shopping centers, dining options, and local businesses, giving you plenty of ways to enjoy your time and support the community.
- Diverse Culture and Events – Thanks to its vibrant and diverse population, El Cajon is rich in cultural experiences, from food festivals to art exhibits.
Practical Considerations for El Cajon Residents
El Cajon’s proximity to San Diego makes it a convenient option for commuters who work in the city but prefer a quieter home environment. The area has well-rated schools and accessible public transportation options, making it suitable for families and young professionals alike. Additionally, El Cajon’s crime rates are generally lower than in more urban parts of San Diego, adding an extra layer of appeal for those seeking a safe and comfortable community.
Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Invest in El Cajon Real Estate
With its affordable housing and growing popularity, now is an excellent time to invest in El Cajon. Home prices in this area have a promising trajectory, as more people discover the benefits of living in this beautiful, convenient location. Whether you’re looking for a place to settle down or an investment property, El Cajon offers a strong opportunity for long-term growth and enjoyment.

Tragos Amargos: Unveiling the Melancholy of Men and the Dangers of Coping Through Alcohol
Growing up, the melodic strains of "Tragos Amargos" by Ramón Ayala y Los Bravos Del Norte were a familiar presence at family gatherings—weddings, parties, and celebrations. The song, sung passionately by older male family members, held a special place in our cultural tapestry. Little did I know then that beyond the lively tunes lay a poignant tale of heartbreak, lost love, and the perilous path of seeking solace in bitter drinks—a narrative that echoes the struggles faced by many Latino men.
Unraveling the Lyrics: A Journey into Heartache in Latino Culture
"Tragos Amargos," translated as "Bitter Drinks," unfolds a narrative steeped in heartbreak and the bitter taste of loneliness—a narrative that resonates deeply within Latino culture. Each verse paints a vivid picture of a man drowning his sorrows in alcohol, using "tragos amargos" as a metaphor for coping with emotional distress. The lyrics mirror the emotional struggles faced by Latino men dealing with the pain of a broken heart.
In the dimly lit cantina where memories linger, the protagonist seeks refuge—a scene that often reflects the cultural backdrop of Latino communities. The somber melodies, characterized by traditional Mexican instruments, especially the distinctive accordion and guitar strums, enhance the emotional impact, creating a musical journey through heartache and desperation that resonates profoundly within Latino culture.
Men and Alcohol in Latino Culture: A Coping Mechanism Reinforced
As a therapist specializing in men's mental health within the Latino community, the deeper meaning of "Tragos Amargos" became a lens through which I could explore the unique challenges faced by Latino men. Cultural expectations and machismo often amplify the pressure for men to suppress vulnerability and maintain a facade of strength. The song reinforces the notion of Latino men turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism—a culturally embedded pattern of behavior.
Societal expectations and the cultural narrative around masculinity can contribute to the inclination of Latino men to seek solace in "tragos amargos" when navigating emotional distress. The song, with its evocative lyrics and cultural resonance, becomes a mirror reflecting the complex relationship between Latino men, societal expectations, and the use of alcohol to cope with feelings.
The Dangers of Coping Through Alcohol: A Call for Cultural Shift
Using "Tragos Amargos" as a lens, it's essential to shed light on the dangers associated with reinforcing the notion that drinking is an acceptable coping mechanism. This pattern not only impedes genuine emotional processing but can also perpetuate a cycle of dependence and potential health risks within the Latino community.
It's time to navigate away from the dim cantina and challenge the cultural narrative. As a therapist, I advocate for fostering open dialogue within Latino communities, dismantling stereotypes, and guiding men toward constructive coping strategies that honor both their cultural identity and emotional well-being. The narrative of "Tragos Amargos" serves as a call to action—a reminder to rewrite the cultural script and offer a new melody that promotes resilience, self-discovery, and true healing within the rich tapestry of Latino culture. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Originally opened in 1916 as home to B Flight of No 37(HD) Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, the aerodrome saw the birth of the Air Defence of Great Britain in response to the first raids by Zeppelins and Gotha bombers on London and the South East. It played a key role in the Battle for Britain (the first London Blitz) the following year. It was at Stow Maries that No 37 Squadron transitioned from the Royal Flying Corps to the Royal Air Force on 1 April 1918. It continued in its dedicated role until Spring 1919 – when the RAF closed its doors forever.
The site reverted to Flambirds Farm and its age-old farming role. The existing buildings were repurposed or converted to residential and agricultural use and the airfield turned over to pasture.
Following its re-discovery by a private concern, the site was designated a conservation area in 2009 and in 2012 all 23 surviving buildings were listed Grade II*. Because of the site’s condition and importance, it was included on the English Heritage “Buildings at Risk Register” in the same year.
The site has significant natural heritage value and is in Natural England’s Higher Level Environmental Stewardship scheme. Ponds and a meadow have been created and the land supports declining farmland species such as brown hare, corn bunting, yellowhammer and a variety of owls, including barn owls and wintering short-eared owls.

A minority group of opposition parties in Venezuela agreed Monday to enter negotiations with President Nicolas Maduro's government without the participation of U.S.-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido, eroding his efforts to hold together a coalition to confront the socialist administration.
The agreement was signed by representatives of several opposition parties alongside Maduro's top aides in a nationally televised event attended by foreign diplomats.
It marks the first significant split in the anti-Maduro camp since Guaido, as head of the opposition-controlled congress, declared himself interim president in January, citing what was seen as Maduro's fraudulent re-election last year. Guaido quickly drew recognition from the U.S. and more than 50 nations.
"Everyone who wants to join and sign this agreement is welcome," Maduro said later Monday. "The starting point is to accept our difference and seek peace."
Lawmaker Timoteo Zambrano, an opposition lawmaker who signed the agreement, was critical of the efforts led by the larger anti-Maduro parties. He didn't directly mention Guaido.
Zambrano said he and the others seek to recover time lost due to the "ambition of some and the mistakes of us all." He urged support from the international community.
"We ask the governments of the region and the world to listen, value and support this path," Zambrano said.
The talks will focus on reforming Venezuela's electoral board as well as finding a solution to the impasse caused by the creation of a pro-government constitutional assembly to rival the opposition-controlled congress.
At least four opposition leaders appeared on state TV to sign the agreement launching the negotiations, though they represent less than one-tenth of seats in the National Assembly. They wield far less power than parties like Guaido's Popular Will, experts said.
Guaido appeared at a separate event Monday, saying he considered the announcement of sideline negotiations with the minority opposition parties a "maneuver" that Maduro's government has employed before to split the opposition.
"We already know what the conclusion was," Guaido told The Associated Press, noting that those attempts failed to reach solutions.
Guaido a day earlier said that negotiations with the government brokered by Norway had been exhausted, saying Maduro and his allies "have blocked a political solution" to the crisis by "refusing to discuss and agree on a sensible proposal." Until recently, the talks held on the Caribbean island of Barbados had been seen as the best chance at resolving Venezuela's crisis. Leaders in Oslo, however, said they left open the possibility of talks.
Despite Guaido's brave face, some in the opposition acknowledged that by absorbing the attention the new dialogue attempt would muddle efforts both inside and outside Venezuela to secure Maduro's removal.
Geoff Ramsey, a researcher at the Washington Office on Latin America think tank, said this division will complicate negotiations such as those in Barbados. Maduro will be able to claim he's made meaningful concessions, while doing the bare minimum, Ramsey said.
"The opposition formally announcing the end of talks provided the regime with an opening," Ramsey said. "There are plenty of opportunists among the fringes of the opposition that are happy to steal the limelight."
The international community will never endorse agreements from the new negotiations, he said, because democracies around the world have been denouncing Maduro's government as illegitimate for the past eight months, and any deal that doesn't lead to new presidential elections is going to be a "non-starter."
Many of the same issues, such as reforming the electoral board, had also been raised by Guaido's envoys in the Barbados talks. So the government can legitimately claim that it is at least partially addressing longstanding opposition demands.
Venezuelan Communications Minister Jorge Rodriguez said that agreements have already been reached on some issues. Both sides are working on an agenda to continue negotiations on further agreements, he said.
"We have not closed, nor will we close, any doors to any initiative that will allow Venezuelans to resolve our troubles," Rodriguez said, urging other countries not to interfere. "These issues only concern us as Venezuelans."
Rodriguez also said members of the ruling socialist party would soon return to the opposition-controlled National Assembly, having abandoned the body in 2016 and then forming their own legislative body.
Even with the defections by a few lawmakers representing the opposition parties who signed Monday's accord, forces aligned with Guaido would still hold a solid congressional majority despite the arrest and exile of several lawmakers. Guaido is counting on a majority to thwart any attempts to have him removed as head of congress when his one-year term expires in January.
It remained to be seen how Guaido's international backers would react. But there was no indication the U.S. — the first of some now 50 countries to recognize Guaido as Venezuela's rightful leader — would ease pressure on Maduro. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
NAM analysis underscores impact of Ex-Im Bank lapse on manufacturers
The NAM released a new analysis assessing the impact of the U.S. Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank’s lapse on manufacturers—and the consequences are dire for their competitiveness.
“This white paper shows the tangible impacts manufacturers are facing every day due to the Ex-Im Bank’s lapse,” NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons said upon the release of the white paper. “Our country’s export numbers continue to lag behind our foreign competitors. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign export credit agencies continue to close deals worth billions of dollars.”
The NAM held a media roundtable discussion moderated by NAM Vice President of International Economic Affairs Linda Dempsey and NAM Chief Economist Chad Moutray. BTE Technologies President Charles Wetherington, International Green Structures COO Bill Britt and Orbital ATK Space Systems Group President Frank Culbertson participated in the call.
The expiration of the Ex-Im Bank’s charter on June 30 has left several thousand manufacturers, many of them small and medium-sized exporters, without adequate access to capital and the financing they need to compete with foreign manufacturers. Orbital ATK lost a satellite deal because it could not offer Ex-Im financing to its customer overseas, for example, and International Green Structures has a deal in a holding pattern until the Ex-Im Bank’s charter is renewed.
There are 83 official export credit agencies across the globe, many of which continue to close on deals worth tens of billions of dollars, according to the white paper. The Ex-Im Bank’s lapse has created a credit and liquidity crunch for small and medium-sized businesses. The NAM white paper estimates that more than 500 U.S. exporters will lose their credit insurance policies betweenSeptember 1 and December 1 this year, meaning that they will be unable to insure their foreign receivables and acquire financing for new exporters. In addition, users of Ex-Im’s multi-buyer credit insurance cannot add new foreign customers to their policies, thereby reducing their opportunities to expand in overseas markets.
Next week, the House of Representatives will likely vote on a long-term reauthorization of the Ex-Im Bank. The NAM sent a Key Vote letter yesterday urging support for the reauthorization. Congressional supporters of Ex-Im’s reauthorization recently circulated a discharge petition and gathered the required 218 signatures to give this critical legislation a vote on the House floor. Urge members of Congress to vote in favor of Ex-Im Bank reauthorization next week by taking action through the NAM’s advocacy portal.

The Wales Airshow is an event for the whole family! Family friendly facilities include:
- Baby changing facilities
- Baby feeding area
- Free Stay Safe Wristbands wristbands sponsored by FRF Toyota
- Lost children and information facilities
This year there will be two designated baby feeding areas. These will be located by the information point at the Civic Centre, and another at the Cenotaph, look out for this sign.
If you lose a child or need to report an incident, look for the nearest steward and who will talk directly to our security and events team via radio.
- All lost children will be taken to a Lost Children Facility based at the information points. Announcements will be made at regular intervals over the system and all stewards will be informed of the descriptions.
- Parents arriving at the facility looking for a child who has not been handed in should remain at the facility and give a general description of the child, this will be radioed to all event personnel.
FRF Toyota supporter of the Free Stay Safe Wristbands
Losing a child or vulnerable person, even for a few moments can be very distressing and our stay safe wristband scheme can help reassure and get help fast. A mobile number on a wristband is the simplest and quickest way to help a lost child or vulnerable person.
On entering the event a wristband can be collected from;
- All car parks
- Park and Ride drop off Civic Centre
- Information Points at the Civic Centre and Cenotaph
- The promenade from Brynmill Lane and the Civic Centre
- Police and Fire Service stands at the Cenotaph
Write the parent/guardian’s mobile number on the back of the wristband before putting on the child/vulnerable person’s wrist. These wristbands are bright and waterproof.
Mums, Dads and Guardians
Teach your child/vulnerable person that if they are ever separated from mum, dad or guardian, not to panic, but to look for the nearest steward who will be wearing a high vis/bright yellow jacket or to one of the many armed service personnel.
Child Safety Tips
It’s easy for children to get distracted in busy places. Most children are reunited very quickly, but a child is vulnerable while lost so it’s important to teach a child what to do.
If you are lost…
• Stop, stand still and look, don’t run about
• If you see the person you were with, go to them and hold their hand
• If lost go to the nearest steward who will be wearing a high vis top or armed service uniform
• Don’t go up to anyone else
…but the best way to help a lost child is to try and prevent it happening In the first place:
• Encourage children to stay close to you
• Use reins or wrist links
• Write a contact number on a ‘stay safe’ wristband
• Carry an up to date photograph
• Make a note of what the child is wearing

Using thermal insulation with electric floor heating significantly reduces the heat-up times and running costs.
Why install floor insulation?
Floor heating systems heat-up a room much faster than traditional centrally-heated radiators and require less energy to do so. To make the heating system even more efficient and to save even more money on energy bills, we recommend to install insulation to work alongside the floor heating system.
Floor insulation is important in reducing heat-loss and also rapidly improves the heat-up time of the floor heating system.
Benefits of floor insulation
Warmup insulation dramatically reduce heat-loss, keeping the warmth inside the room, saving both energy usage and money. As the heater warms up to the optimal comfort temperature, the insulation enhances this heat and evenly distributes it into the room quickly.
We believe the thicker the insulation below the floor heater, the greater the energy-efficiency, however deeper insulation will affect floor build-up height. Warmup Insulation products come in a range of depths and sizes to provide you with the optimal solution for your project to prevent energy-wastage.
Suitable for all subfloors
Our insulation products are suitable for use with all subfloors and can be used with all floor finishes. Some floor heating systems require a specific combination of insulation and accessories for a successful heating solution. Please find the details of these products below.
For use in any project
All our insulation products can be installed in new-builds or renovation projects. For use in older properties with high levels of heat loss, a floor heater with insulation may not deliver the necessary heat output for optimal comfort. We recommend carrying out a heat loss calculation as part of your project.
Warmup supplies various different types of floor insulation suitable for application with our electric floor heating systems. If planning to use a different type of insulation please make sure the main thermal characteristics and compatibility with floor heating remains. Our range of insulation products enhance the energy-efficiency and response times of electric floor heating systems. Find out more about each product’s unique attributes below:
Insulation board made of extruded polystyrene, faced on both sides with a fibreglass mesh embedded into a thin cement polymer mortar.
The boards multi-layer design with aluminum, non-woven fleece, and PEF insulation works to achieve 3-in-1 benefits: insulating, heat spreading, and decoupling.
The insulated underlay is a thin polystyrene insulation barrier with effective acoustic properties to reduce contact noise. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
