Shell Chemical announced on Monday that the company will advance feasibility plans for a potential $1.2 billion manufacturing expansion at its Shell Geismar facility in Louisiana.
At the 841-acre complex in Ascension Parish, Shell Chemical LP would build a world-scale monoethylene glycol (MEG) plant, pending final engineering, design and investment decisions. A decision to proceed with the project could come from Royal Dutch Shell in 2020.
Monoethylene glycol, or MEG, is a key ingredient in manufacturing paints, paper, textiles, resins, coolants and adhesives.
“We at Shell are proud of our long history in Louisiana, and I’m very excited about the positive potential of this project for Shell and for the state,” Shell Chemicals Vice President for Gulf Coast Manufacturing Rhoman Hardy said. “We look forward to working with Governor Edwards and LED as we move toward a final decision.”
After a 1965 groundbreaking in Ascension Parish, Shell began operating the Geismar chemicals plant in 1967 and completed other major expansions in 1995 and 2002. In December 2018, Shell completed a $717 million expansion that increased its linear alpha olefins capacity by 425,000 metric tonnes to a total of 1.3 million metric tonnes per year. That volume ranks the Geismar plant as the largest single-site manufacturer of alpha olefins in the world.
Products at the Shell Geismar site contribute key ingredients for making personal care products, soaps, shampoos and household cleaning solutions. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
blackberry (or both, good grief!) but can we just for a nanosecond, remember our priorities? Yes, I ™m talking to you. The svelte mom in your work-out clothes, hair pulled back in a pony, cruising through the produce at
Target with your Venti vanilla soy latte in one hand, cell phone to ear in the other, while your tow-headed toddler is mumbling in the front seat of the shopping cart.
Turn the phone off. Put it in your purse. The world will continue to spin on its axis.
Here you come again. This time we pass in the cereal aisle. Still sipping, still chatting. I don't know if you realize, but your toddler is tugging on your fabulous
Lululemon jacket and he seems to be trying to tell you something. I get it. I know how isolated you can feel as a stay-at-home mom, and how great it is to share a little gossip with a friend. But please, let's remember why you decided to stay at home in the first place.
Tell your friend you ™ll call her later.
You almost ran me over as we came around the paper product aisle. Though the phone's still pressed to your ear, it looks like you ™ve finished the Starbucks. At least I hope so. Your son has just tossed the cup down the aisle, and a Target employee is glaring at you. You ™ve decided to pay attention to your son (finally) by reprimanding him for being bad. Mission accomplished on his part, he got you to talk to him. You're now complaining very loudly about him and how cranky he is to your buddy on the cell. Poor kid. I start waving at him, and he's giggling, waving back as I turn the corner.
Your son is more important than any conversation you could be having right now.
We're in the frozen food section, and your boy recognizes me. He begins playing peek-a-boo with me so I play along. You're complaining to your friend that your husband never listens to you, and I ™ve gotta tell you, I ™m thinking it's karma baby. Uh-oh, looks like your phone cut out. Good time to refocus, get the shopping done, chat with your kid, and move on. No such luck. I can see the panic in your eyes as you redial twice, the relief when your friend answers. I ™m making faces at your son as I head toward the check-out aisle, you haven't made eye contact with him in the 30 minutes we ™ve been in this store.
Some day, you ™ll wonder why your boy doesn't want to open up to you.
As the Target employee scans the last of my groceries, your cart pulls up behind mine. Your son is so animated waving at me he almost falls out of the cart. You grab his arm, scream at him to sit down, and start loading your food onto the conveyor. With one hand of course, the other must continue to hold the phone so your conversation can continue. As I leave the store, waving to your son, I am so sad. For him. For you. If today's shopping trip is any indication, your son has learned from an early age that he must do something bad to get your attention. He has learned that strangers in the grocery store are more fun than mommy, and that mommy can't be bothered when she has that strange device pressed against her ear.
I hope when he gets his first cell phone, he's kinder to you than you were to him today.

Your child’s feelings about their oral health care are important. Along with checking for cavities and polishing teeth, each visit offers a chance to help your child understand the importance of dental health, acknowledge milestones such as losing the first tooth, and protect against future oral health problems.
Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics of Jackson prioritizes comprehensive, long-term oral health for your child, beginning with routine exams and cleanings. Our pediatric dental team is dedicated to creating a positive environment with careful and attentive treatment for each patient. We understand that it can be intimidating for some children to visit the dentist, and our team is ready to help every step of the way. We recommend avoiding using words around your child that might cause fear, such as “needle,” “shot,” “pull,” “drill,” or “hurt,” when preparing them for their visit.
Some parents wonder when their child should start regular dental examinations. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommend establishing a “dental home for your child by their first birthday. This allows us to assess their oral health regularly and provide appropriate preventive and routine oral health care. When parents prioritize dental examinations for themselves and their children, each child grows to understand how important routine visits are with our dentists in Jackson, MI.
Our team will ensure your child’s safety and comfort during a dental examination. We will assess oral health problems such as tooth decay, stubborn baby teeth, bite issues, or other conditions.
With each regular dental exam comes a professional dental cleaning. This is important for patients of all ages, so any plaque or tartar buildup is cleaned away at regular intervals. Dental cleanings allow our team to monitor your child’s at-home oral hygiene habits and guide them toward any needed improvements. Your child will appreciate their clean, polished teeth and bright smile.
At Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics of Jackson, our priority is to deliver professional pediatric dental care to establish long-term oral health for your child. We look forward to appointments with you for exams and cleanings in Jackson, MI. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I work from my home studio near Beaver Lake. We have lots of bears wandering around, including this one who works on my website in his free time.
My past studios have been in Charleston, SC, and State College, PA. I've been in Asheville a little over two years now and love it.
Here's my home studio, crammed with paper, paints, fabrics, stamps, and many many old books with great images and patterns for inspiration.
My paper collages and acrylic paintings are on birch panels. I paint the edges and backs to match the main colors. I hand-paint and stamp my own paper.
I carve my own stamps to create different patterns on my paper

KimDunbar and her research team perform groundbreaking research in many areas, including spintronics and coordination chemistry. This research is leading to technological and medical advancements. Currently, she is performing research on metal anti-cancer agents, which could lead to more effective chemotherapy treatments.
Metals in Cancer Treatment
The first major discovery in treating cancer with metals came in 1960, with the discovery of Metals kill cancer cells by creating oxidative stress, which the cancer cells can’t survive. Cisplatin and other platinum drugs have been at the forefront of cancer treatment, with 50–70% of chemotherapy treatments involving platinum-based therapy. explains that these drugs are helpful, but there are downsides as well. Higher doses can result in hepatotoxicity. Cancer can also develop resistance to treatment. Their efficacy is limited in some cancer types, including metastatic breast cancer. Ongoing research is vital for these reasons.
Kim Dunbar Research
Kim Dunbar’s research crosses several disciplines, including computational chemistry, biochemistry, and coordination chemistry. Computational chemistry uses computers and mathematics to learn more about compounds and how they are likely to interact with each other. Biochemistry studies the chemical processes that occur in living organisms. Coordination chemistry is the study of compounds that have a metal core surrounded by anions known as ligands.
One of Kim Dunbar’s discoveries was the presence of anion-heterocyclic ring contacts for electropositive ring systems. It’s believed that this has implications in many fields. Her research is valued by scientists around the world, and creates important building blocks for further research.
Kim Dunbar states that the ultimate goal of the research is to develop photodynamic therapy drugs. She explains that there are three approaches that are currently being studied by her team. The first is to locate binding sites for biological molecules, including DNA, with the use of X Rays and NMR. The second is the creation of redox-active compounds that cause cellular death when irradiated, but don’t present toxicity in the absence of light. The third is to design new compounds that create a red-shift in electronic transmission.
Support and Notable Achievements
received her PhD in inorganic chemistry from Purdue University. She did Postdoctoral work at Texas A&M University, where she is now a Distinguished Professor and the Davidson Professor of Science in chemistry. She is the first female chair holder at the Texas A & M College of Science. Kim Dunbar received the Basolo Award in 2019 for her work in inorganic chemistry. She has received support from many prestigious groups, including The Department of Energy and The National Science Foundation.

Wyoming’s Most Popular Easter Recipe Has ‘Cowboy’ In Its Name
Whatchu got cookin' this Easter?
Easter is just about here. Besides the calendar, do you know how I can tell? The grocery store. The discounts on candy and Easter-related items have begun and there are hams... everywhere. It's a traditional dish to serve on Easter and my mom did it every year.
I've never made Easter dinner, but I'm sure it would involve ham if I did. A few years ago, for a family gathering, I took pre-made cinnamon roll dough and twisted it to look like bunnies. It was just like this Pillsbury recipe, but I used the "orange glaze" rolls to make it more spring-like. They were yummy!
What do you typically make or eat on Easter?
Recently Taste of Home put together a list of the Most Popular Easter Recipe from Each State. I guess these came from the most downloads or something from within their database, but this one seems like a no-brainer since it's got "cowboy" in the name.
They believe Wyoming Cowboy Cookies are the most popular recipe for Easter Sunday. I say they are good for any occasion... even Tuesday. They're loaded with coconut and pecans. I like to sneak some chocolate chips in mine. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
There had been a house and an almost 200-year-old wine cellar on the same plot since the 1990s. I had to take these circumstances into consideration when setting up the rooms appropriate for hosting events and operating a restaurant. The walls of the cellar were beautifully green and covered by climbing plants. Starting from this, I pictured a terrace, which involves the green and engages it with the inner space. My vision was to create a spectacular construction of steel, glass and wood, which resembles the characteristic atmosphere of greenhouses and orangeries. This way, the plan actually lies upon a fusion of marketing and architectural basis, but relies on the existing potentials and conditions. I changed the original windows of the cellar for flat glass windows in steel frames in order to let more light into the restaurant from which visitors can see the wine cellar as well. The simplicity of the furnishing was an important aspect because of the convertibility: the restaurant is not permanently serving, but a catering one, so creation of rooms for a wedding with a personal touch was quite important. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This Is How Texans Can Get Rid of Their Credit Card Debt Fast
Texas Ranks 2nd in the Nation for Credit Card Debt Increases
Texas, we have a problem. According to the latest analysis from WalletHub, our credit card debt is soaring at an alarming rate. Using data from TransUnion and the Federal Reserve, WalletHub reports that Texas households are among the hardest hit by rising credit card balances. However there are sections of Texas that are faring far better than other parts of the Lone Star State. For example, parts of West Texas were recently named as some of the more affordable places to live in Texas.
Texas’ Rising Debt Dilemma
The numbers are staggering. In the second quarter of 2024, Texas saw an increase of over $3.33 billion in credit card debt. That’s not just a statistic, it’s a wake-up call. The average household in Texas now carries a balance of $12,485 in credit card debt. This ranks Texas as 2nd in the nation for the largest increase in credit card debt.
While we Texans are well known for our resilience and big-hearted generosity, these levels of debt are a reminder that our financial health needs fixing in a big way. I firmly believe that inflation and rising prices in America as discussed in the last election, are the reason for the hike. As a father of eight, I’ve often advised my children, "do not rely on credit cards to live on they'll destroy you." You never know when an emergency will arise and you'll need that credit to help you out.
- Increase in Texas Debt: The average credit card debt in Texas increased by $3,333,831,213 in Q2 2024.
- Average Texas Household Debt: The average household in Texas owes $12,485 in credit card debt.
- Texas Rank: Texas’s credit card debt increase ranks as the 2nd highest in the nation.
Source: TransUnion, U.S. Federal Reserve, WalletHub
The National Picture
Nationally, credit card debt has also climbed, but there is a little glimmer of hope. during the second quarter of 2024, the increase in credit card debt was at $36 billion, a 17% decrease compared to the same quarter in 2023. Total credit card debt across America now stands at approximately $1.28 trillion, which is still 13% below the inflation-adjusted peak from December 2008.
Stop and let this soak in for one hot minute here, are you aware that the average credit card interest rate is a high 22.76%. At that rate nearly all those households that have credit card debt will be struggling to get ahead for at least three to four and a half years to pay off that credit card debt.
A Call to Action
If you’re feeling the pinch of rising debt, you’re not alone. Take a moment to study your finances, look at your resources, and tackle your balances. Texans can overcome this financial hurdle and build a more stable future for ourselves.
How Texans Can Eliminate Credit Card Debt Fast
With the average credit card balance for Texans well above the national average of $10,680, it’s critical that we act now. Financial experts recommend exploring balance transfer credit cards offering 0% APR for up to 21 months to lower your interest burden. What's more interesting is the fact that of all Texans 18 to 29 year olds have managed to keep their credit card debt well below the national average, way to go young Texans.

‘Terminator Genisys’ comes to Korea
Published: 02 Jul. 2015, 20:41
The 67-year-old actor and former politician arrived in Korea on Wednesday with on-screen partner Emilia Clarke to promote their latest project, “Terminator Genisys,” directed by Alan Taylor, just in time for its release here.
“All the Terminator movies that I have done always have been really great for my career, and I enjoy playing the character because it is such an interesting one to play - a machine that has a human element to it,” Schwarzenegger said about his affection for the franchise during a press conference Thursday at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in southern Seoul.
The former California governor last visited the peninsula in 2013, when he came to promote Kim Ji-woon’s “Last Stand.”
As the leader of the remaining human resistance, John Conner (Jason Clarke) is on the verge of taking down the movie’s antagonistic robotic empire when he discovers that Skynet has sent its subordinates back in time to kill his mother, Sarah Conner (Emilia Clarke).
But when Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) is dispatched back to 1984 to save her and reset the future, he arrives to find that Sarah was waiting for him all along with her longtime guardian Terminator, or T-800 (Schwarzenegger), who has protected her since childhood.
From there, the trio fights a fierce battle against Skynet in a desperate effort to prevent Judgement Day.
“I think people like futuristic and sci-fi movies,” Schwarzenegger said about the franchise’s lasting popularity. “[Time traveling] is a smart concept for an interesting movie. Also, I think they like the idea of a machine that has ultimate power and [can be] destructive. People were fascinated by these features, which is why they keep coming back for it.”
He added that when he first received the script, he felt as if he was “over the moon,” surprised by just how far the story line could go to encompass “suspense, surprises, emotional roller coasters and action.”
As audiences might expect, Schwarzenegger’s T-800 is no longer the ultimate symbol of power, as in the first two franchises, coming across a stronger, more villainous robot.
However, like the symbolic line “I am old, but not obsolete,” which the old Terminator repeats in the film, Schwarzenegger said he values getting older.
“Like wine, old cigars and cars, there are some things that get better as they age,” he said. “I think that line worked very well with the Terminator. It was an appropriate line, and I loved delivering it.”
Meanwhile, Emilia Clarke, who rose to fame through the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones,” admitted that she felt the pressure in playing Sarah Conner, portrayed by Linda Hamilton in the first two installments.
“I definitely felt a huge amount of pressure going into this film,” she said.
“However, one of the biggest reasons why I wanted to take on this role was because of the iconic-ness that Linda Hamilton created in the first two movies,” she continued, adding that the role was a “double-edged sword.”
The actress also revealed what it was like to work with Korean actor Lee Byung-hun, who appears in the first half of the movie as T-1000, a deadly shape-shifting robot.
“He was incredible to work with. There was no need to put in extra special effects for the movements that he actually had. I spent a lot of time just watching him,” Clarke said.
“Terminator Genisys” opened nationwide on Thursday.

In a detailed explanation of Pakistan’s squad for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq provided insights into the reasoning behind some of the picks, particularly after Pakistan announced their 15-member squad.
While the core group of players who have been regulars in the team was retained, an essential change in the squad was necessitated by the injury to young pace sensation Naseem Shah during the Asia Cup Super Four encounter against India. The experienced Hasan Ali was drafted in as his replacement.
Addressing the selection, Inzamam explained, “Naseem Shah’s injury was a significant loss as he was expected to be our main bowler in the squad. We also have had several injury concerns among fast bowlers, further depleting our options.”
Highlighting Hasan Ali’s addition, Inzamam praised his experience and performance in various tournaments. “Hasan has shown his skill in the Lankan Premier League and other competitions. Despite not featuring much in recent international matches, his past performances in mega events for Pakistan have been noteworthy. With Naseem’s absence, Hasan is a valuable choice, adept at handling the new ball and contributing effectively with his experience and energy to the team.”
The selection of spinners Shadab Khan and Mohammed Nawaz, despite their subdued performances in the Asia Cup, was defended by Inzamam, stressing the importance of continuity in the squad preparation. “We’ve chosen to maintain continuity with players we’ve been nurturing over the past years. The World Cup squad reflects the planning we’ve put in place well in advance. Shadab and Nawaz have been part of our ODI setup for some time. Though their recent performances haven’t matched their potential, we believe in their capabilities and hope for a better showing in the big event. Additionally, we have Usama Mir as a backup option.”
Pakistan’s squad for the 2023 World Cup includes experienced and promising talents:
- Babar Azam (c)
- Shadab Khan
- Fakhar Zaman
- Abdullah Shafique
- Mohammad Rizwan
- Saud Shakeel
- Iftikhar Ahmed
- Salman Ali Agha
- Mohammad Nawaz
- Usama Mir
- Haris Rauf
- Hasan Ali
- Shaheen Afridi
- Mohammad Wasim
The team will engage in warm-up matches against New Zealand and Australia before kicking off their World Cup campaign against the Netherlands on 6th October in Hyderabad.

Amy shared a crazy story she heard about how you’re supposed to eat animal poop if you want to find them.
Her sister and husband live in Colorado, and they have their TV show, Building Roots, and one of the guys who works on the show with them is an avid hunter there. When they were all in town together, they went to dinner and it somehow got brought up that whichever animal you’re trying to hunt, you eat their poop to learn what to look for, how far the animal was and when they were there.
No one on the show had heard of this before, and Bobby Bones used to hunt, but he never did that. They researched it and didn’t find any info about it, so she thinks he might have been joking with her. She is going to get a voice memo of him explaining it to get a better update.

JABLEH, Syria — Last month’s earthquakes were catastrophic for parts of Turkey and Syria, but this is only the latest crisis to upend life here. The country’s long-running civil war has left no part of the country untouched, no family unscathed.
President Bashar Assad’s government lost full control of Syrian territory in the north to various armed groups, but it still rules much of the rest of the country. Rights groups cite extensive evidence of torture, imprisonment, disappearances as well as the bombing of civilian areas by the government and its Russian allies to hold onto power.
The region of Latakia in western Syria was spared much of that fighting. This is the president’s ancestral homeland and a regime stronghold. Members of the minority Alawite community, from which Assad hails, retain key posts throughout this region that is home to Christians and Sunni Muslims, as well.
NPR gained rare access in February to this part of Syria after the earthquakes. Access to the city of Jableh in Latakia province was made possible by accompanying aid workers from the United Arab Emirates, including flights and lodging provided by the UAE, as they assisted Syrians devastated by the earthquakes and 12 years of conflict.
The photos taken in Jableh offer an intimate look at life for millions of people here. Some of these images were taken from a moving car as the Emirates Red Crescent convoy traveled through towns and villages, accompanied by Syrian security forces. Other photos were taken during interviews with Syrian families who say they are traumatized and exhausted by war, and now by the earthquakes and its aftershocks.
Jableh, once brimming with tourists drawn to its Mediterranean coast and on the cusp of a construction boon, is without electricity most of the day and impoverished. It is isolated from much of the world as a result of U.S. sanctions.
Countless numbers of internally displaced Syrians relocated to Jableh over the course of the war, living in tents or half-finished structures with shoddy construction. Thousands more are now homeless after the earthquakes, setting up makeshift tents in open fields and awaiting any assistance to arrive.
The president’s image looms large over dilapidated buildings and shuttered storefronts throughout Jableh. His image, washed out and faded on posters and army checkpoints, harken to an era of stability that too has faded from view. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the enchanted forest of Whispering Oaks, where ancient trees whispered secrets to the wind and mystical creatures roamed freely, there lived a curious creature known as Cater the Hooting Banshee. Unlike the terrifying banshees of legend, Cater was a gentle soul with a heart as big as the moon and a love for music that soared through the forest like a melody on the breeze.
Cater’s unique talent lay in his hauntingly beautiful hoots, which echoed through the trees like the call of a distant owl. Each night, as the stars twinkled overhead and the moon cast its silver glow upon the forest floor, Cater would gather his friends—a merry band of woodland creatures—and serenade them with his magical hoots.
From the wise old owls to the mischievous foxes and the graceful deer, all who heard Cater’s music were enchanted by its otherworldly beauty. Even the trees themselves seemed to sway and dance in time with the melody, their leaves rustling in applause as Cater sang his heart out beneath the canopy of stars.
But Cater’s talent did not go unnoticed by the other creatures of the forest. Jealous of his gift, the wicked goblins and greedy trolls plotted to steal away Cater’s voice, hoping to claim it for themselves and use it to sow discord and chaos throughout the land.
Determined to protect his friend, the wise old owl, Ollie, called upon the creatures of the forest to stand together and defend Cater from harm. And so, with hearts united and courage ablaze, the creatures of Whispering Oaks rallied around Cater, forming a protective circle around him as the goblins and trolls closed in.
But just as the first wave of attackers descended upon them, Cater lifted his head high and let out a mighty hoot—a hoot so pure and powerful that it reverberated through the forest like a thunderclap, shaking the very ground beneath their feet.

Long Beach, California – A cruise ship that sailed from Long Beach to Ensenada, Mexico, carrying a woman who went overboard has returned, while the search for the woman continues.
A woman in her twenties was reported missing from the Carnival Miracle cruise ship at approximately 3:30 a.m., according to authorities.
Carnival officials subsequently verified that one of the ship’s passengers had gone overboard from her stateroom’s balcony.
After the incident, which happened about 35 miles off the coast of Ensenada, U.S. Coast Guard members joined the Mexican Navy in the search on Saturday. After a 31-hour search, Coast Guard authorities said that teams are standing down as they await more information at 10:30 a.m.
The FBI awaited the ship’s arrival in Long Beach in order to assist with the investigation and search.
An MH-60 Jayhawk was participating in the search over ocean waters, according to the Coast Guard on Twitter.
The investigation into the incident is still ongoing. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Yesterday I set up our new learning sysadmin to get into our RHEL hosts. Access and authorization is managed by an LDAP directory via PAM.
I set him up, then had him try to log in. It didn't work; I dumped cache with nscd; it worked. Yay!
We stayed on that machine and, after a bit, I wanted to show him the id command. It claimed that he no longer existed; I dumped cache with nscd; it still didn't work. Sigh.
We did other things, then I said we'd finish up. He logged back out before I'd meant him to, so he logged back in. Successfully. And now the id command admitted that he exists.
Why would it stop working for thirty minutes or so?
I've seen other flakiness with this combination in RHEL 5; I've got a server where I can't get two out of a couple dozen users recognized. Shall I worry about this or just get rid of these EOL'd OSes? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Fig.1. Habit, boredom or an obsessive nature?
I match the clothes pegs to the item going on the line. I've done this for years and dropped it into the conversation like a confessional at Sunday Lunch. My wife and daughter became very passionate about it - saying I always got it wrong. They in turn confessed to going out and changing the pegs around if I had made a mismatch of colour, or peg type. It appears that the wooden pegs should go with the yellow items, not the yellow 'soft' pegs. We never have enough white pegs and no black pegs at all.
My response to this discovery is to deliberately miss-match all the pegs and then see who is first to go out and change them.
It goes beyond this too - on how I put items out individually, or hang them over the line *
Can you imagine what life is like indoors?
Because no satisfactory system can be agreed upon the preference is not to put anything away at all: clothes, dishes and books come to mind.
Is there a gene for this kind of thing as it comes entirely from my wife's side: a combination of a desire for order, an inability to throw anything away and disagreement on each other's systems. My mum had a simple answer: if it didn't have its 'place' it went in the bin; the house looked forever like a show-home where no one lived, but at least you had a reason to get the vacuum cleaner out as you could find more than a patch of carpet to use it on.
With autumn approaching the dryer will be used.
Oh shit. I've just noticed its raining and I've just put the washing out. Now. Do I tug everything off and leave the pegs on the line (my wife), take it all down and bung it in the dryer ... or just leave it in the hope that the sun and wind later in the day will still do its work???! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
“Becoming Led Zeppelin”, the upcoming feature-length documentary about the origins of Led Zeppelin, has been renamed “Introducing Led Zeppelin”.
LedZepNews has spotted multiple signs that the film has been renamed following its 2021 premiere under the title “Becoming Led Zeppelin”.
A bulletin dated August 14 produced by the Motion Picture Association in the US shows that the film, now titled “Introducing Led Zeppelin”, has been given a PG-13 rating due to “some drug references and smoking.”
Furthermore, the film’s page on the movie database IMDb has been retitled from “Becoming Led Zeppelin” to “Introducing Led Zeppelin”.
And we also spotted that on July 17, Sony Pictures registered the web domains introducingledzeppelin.com and introducingledzeppelinfilm.com.
It was announced in May that the film had been sold to the distributor Sony Pictures Classics for a US release. And in June further distribution deals were announced for other markets. No UK distributor has been announced so far.
No release date for the film has been announced either. John Bonham’s son Jason Bonham claimed in an interview with Eddie Trunk earlier this month that it would be released in September.
LedZepNews has contacted one of the film’s producers and two spokespeople for Sony Pictures Classics to ask whether Bonham’s claim of a September release is accurate. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Purchased the new adapter to extend my lee 100 system across a new wide angle lens. A superb filter system for all landscape (and other) photography.
Worth every penny; and amazing customer service from, Lee team, to go with it. Thank you.
It is a very well made component of the Lee Filter System. I bought it for use on my new Fujifilm X100VI. It is a perfect fit and it looks great on my camera. It allows me to use the smaller filters which I had previously from another compact camera system. Overall, very happy with my investment.
A new product line that I have long awaited. Superb clarity and neutrality, and with a density exactly as advertised (verified with a Sekonic spot meter). There is no slippage/creep of the filter in the slots of my first generation LEE holders (an issue I encountered with glass grads from other suppliers). The included padded pouch is nice, although an exterior label indicating which filter is inside would be a welcome addition, to quickly identify the one you want if you have several different filters. Overall an excellent product, and a distinct step up from the resin equivalents. I hope in the future LEE will expand the range of these filters to include soft gradations, and 1 stop densities. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
For a few months now, I´ve been working with a team of journalists, artists and movie makers on the organization of FISAHARA – Festival Internacional de Cine del Sahara, that will take place between October 8-13. I have to admit that I didn´t not know so much about the festival until I joined the communications team this spring, although it has been going on for 10 years. In 2010, The Guardian named it “the world´s most remote film festival.”
FiSahara takes place in Dakhla, the most isolated of four camps, 130 miles from the nearest town and home to around 30,000 Saharawi refugees. There are no paved roads, no sources of water, no vegetation and in summer, temperatures can reach 50°C. And yet once a year a multiplex-sized screen rolls up on the side of an articulated lorry, a tented village springs up in the centre of the camp and hundreds of actors, directors and film industry insiders fly in from around the world for a programme of more than 30 films, some made by the refugees themselves.
This year, the festival will aim to reach out to an even wider audience in order to bring attention to the forsaken struggle of the Saharawi people. It also seeks to frame this struggle within the regional movement that has pushed millions of citizens of the Middle East and North Africa to demand freedom, justice and dignity since 2011. In fact, many find the root of the so-called Arab Spring in the Western Sahara, back in 2010, when the indigenous Saharawi population demonstrated against the occupying Moroccan authorities. Their demonstrations were violently put down, and eleven Saharawis were killed.
Despite the increasing threats, violence and suffering the region faces, the struggle against oppression that was at the core of the 2011 mobilizations remains, more than ever, a legitimate one. Creating and fostering bonds and networks between civil activists in the Sahara, Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Tunisia and the rest of the MENA region is crucial to strengthen citizen voices against tyranny, whether this comes from fascist and so-called secular regimes or islamist threats. Many journalists, activists and movie makers from the region will join this festival´s edition. We are very proud of all of them, but there is one who is particularly inspiring.
Nadir Bouchmouch is a Moroccan activist who has been very involved in the February 20 movement since early 2011. His 40-minute documentary, Makhzen and Me, which shows the counter-attack by the Moroccan authorities as a response to the popular uprising, will be featured at the festival. Last week, he wrote the following message on his facebook page, which speaks louder than anything we may add:
This festival is particularly meaningful for me to go to because I have had enough of self-censoring myself on the Western Sahara issue. The refugees I will be working with are refugees because my country, Morocco, is occupying their land. This is why it is particularly symbolic that I am working with Guy Davidi, an Israeli who supports the Palestinian cause. I always hope more Israelis take action to support Palestinians, but how can I not expect the same from myself regarding Western Saharans? It’s almost the same issue: an occupier and an occupied, a settler-population and a refugee population… I was brainwashed for years to believe the Western Sahara was Moroccan, but says who? King Hassan II? Our state-owned TV channels? Our government-controlled history textbooks?
I will no longer be an accomplice, through silence, with the Moroccan regime of occupation of the Western Sahara. From here on, I will be loyal and consistent to my belief in democracy, human rights and equality for all. I will condemn the occupation and I will be a voice within Moroccan society that will choose to no longer be silent nor afraid. #FreeWesternSahara | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Levanta team offers safe, straightforward heavy vehicle lifting
Fuel Trans Australia is an independent fuel cartage contractor operating fuel tankers throughout Western Australia and the Northern Territory. All 50 vehicles in their fleet are company owned and maintained in-house.
When Fuel Trans were appointed as BP’s Accredited Fuel Hauler for the NT, they realised they needed to expand their in-house lifting capacity. They turned to Levanta for a solution.
Knuckle lift provides an alternative to service pit
Because Fuel Trans were leasing their property, they were unable to cut the necessary hole in the workshop floor to install a pit.
As an alternative Levanta advised installing a knuckle lift to provide the safe lifting capability they needed to service their fleet properly. The knuckle lift can handle prime movers all the way up to a tri drive axle vehicle – and it also meant Fuel Trans could move the lift in future if they changed premises.
A smooth and straightforward setup experience
Fuel Trans owner Stephen Crawford said, “Levanta’s setup was really straightforward. We told them where we wanted the lift, and they got stuck in and did it.”
“Their team showed us how to use the lift, and even demonstrated some safety features we weren’t aware of,” he said. “It really gives us peace-of-mind that we have the right solution.”
“Going with a knuckle lift and no hole needed in the slab meant it was an easy conversation with the landlord,” Stephen said. “That was something we’d struggled with previously.”
“We’re delighted with Levanta,” he said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

First Model T Ford: September 27, 1908
Although not the first car made, Henry Ford’s Model T was durable and made inexpensive by integration of production and assembly of parts under one roof. At first, production was limited to less than a dozen a month, but in 1910, Ford moved production of the Model T to a moving assembly line. A year later more than 34,000 Model Ts were produced. As production geared up, the price dropped from $950 for the basic model in 1910 to $290 in 1920, easily undercutting Ford’s chief competitors, Oldsmobile and Chevrolet. The Model T transformed where Americans lived, how they worked and where they could travel. By 1929, the ratio of automobiles to American households had reached 90%, with half of them made by Ford.

Detail Page from Barclays Bank Book of Remembrance
After WW2 it was decided that the permanent official Barclays Bank memorial should be an illuminated inscribed book of remembrance, one for each war. Originally put on display in a purpose-built wall case at 54 Lombard Street, the books were then put on display in the new head office building in the 1990s, and when the head office moved in 2005 to 1 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, the books were put on display in cases there. The WW1 book lists members of staff who lost their lives serving in the armed forces, separated into Barclays Bank, London and South Western Bank, and London and Provincial Bank. The book has parchment pages, with leather binding, engrossed, decorated and gilded by Dorothy Hutton, and bound by Sydney M Cockerell, and includes illustrations of head offices and coats of arms of the three banks. The image shows the page of the WW1 book which features this person’s name as an employee of Barclays Bank Limited. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Online slot games are a fun way to pass the time and win real money. Players can find a wide variety of slots on top online casinos, with options for low, medium and high volatility games as well as progressive jackpots. They can also choose from a range of themes and features, including Megaways, instant wins, and 3D slots. The best sites also have a variety of betting limits and minimum and maximum payouts, so players can play on their budget.
Slots work by using a random number generator (RNG) to generate random numbers and determine where the symbols will land on the reels. This technology emulates the operation of physical slot machines and is constantly audited to ensure fairness. Players can win by lining up matching symbols on pay lines, which run horizontally or vertically across the reels. The pay tables of a slot show what the different symbols are worth and how to line them up for a win. Some online slots even feature stacked symbols, which can create a larger win.
The fast game rounds and the possibility of a big win are what make slots unique from other casino games. They can be addictive, and many people have a tendency to over-play because they feel that the next spin could be the one that finally yields a big win. But these are just gimmicks to lure players in, as the results of any given round were decided as soon as the player pressed the “spin” button.
Bonuses are another common incentive to play slot games, and the top online casinos offer a variety of them. Some are cash back bonuses, and others offer loyalty points that can be redeemed for additional cash or free spins. These rewards are an excellent way to help players manage their bankroll and extend gameplay without risking any of their own cash.
In addition to these promotional offers, many online slot casinos host tournaments where players compete against other members in order to win a prize. This is a great opportunity to try out new games and test your skills in a competitive environment. Usually, these tournaments are held on weekends or during special events.
There are a lot of myths surrounding slot games, and players tend to be a superstitious group. For instance, some players believe that certain times of the day or month are luckier than others. But this is just a myth, as the RNG that controls the outcome of each spin is completely random and independent of any external factors. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Associated Press/Report for America
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Partisan tensions in Oregon skyrocketed this week because Republican state senators didn’t show up to work Wednesday, denying Democrats who control the chamber a quorum. The move cast doubt on planned votes on legislation about gun control, abortion rights and gender-affirming health care.
Here’s what to know about where Republicans and Democrats are divided and what’s at stake.
WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE OREGON LEGISLATURE?
Republican state senators skipped a Senate floor session Wednesday.
According to the office of Democratic Senate President Rob Wagner, 10 Republicans and the chamber’s lone independent were absent.
In Oregon, two-thirds of the state House and Senate members need to be present to conduct business, or 20 of the 30 current members. Currently, 17 senators are Democrats, 12 are Republicans and one is an independent.
Two bills on gun control and access to abortion and gender-affirming health care were scheduled for floor votes in the Senate this week. Because Democrats control the Legislature, the bills were expected to pass, but now their fate is unclear because there may not be enough lawmakers present in the chamber to begin proceedings.
WHAT DO REPUBLICANS SAY?
Republicans said they were protesting over bill summaries not being written in plain language.
They based their boycott on a 1979 state law that requires the summaries of bills to be readable by those with an eighth- or ninth-grade education — measured by a score of at least 60 on something called the Flesch readability test.
GOP Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp says a Republican staff member discovered the existence of the law last month. Knopp couldn’t say when the law has previously been followed, if ever.
Asked whether the Republican boycott was due to the bills on gun control and abortion and gender-affirming care, Knopp said: “It’s about every bill. But those bills specifically also don’t qualify under this law, and they refuse to fix them.”
He didn’t say how long Republicans planned to continue their protest.
WHAT IS THE FLESCH READABILITY TEST?
The Flesch readability test was designed in the 1940s to measure how easy it is to read and understand a text. It takes into account factors like word and sentence length to determine the grade level of a text.
Scores range from 1 to 100, with 100 being the easiest to read and 1 being the most difficult. A score between 60 and 70 indicates an eighth- or ninth-grade reading level.
Oregon’s 44-year-old law says bill summaries must have a score of 60 or above.
WHAT DO DEMOCRATS SAY?
Democrats say they don’t believe the Republicans left because of the readability of bill summaries, but rather to obstruct the passage of legislation they oppose.
Senate President Wagner says it’s no coincidence the walkout began when state lawmakers were about to consider the bills on flashpoint topics like abortion, transgender health care and gun control.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Kate Lieber said that Republicans appear to be “weaponizing” an old law for political gain.
WHAT’S AT STAKE?
If Republican senators deny a quorum for the rest of the legislative session, which doesn’t end until late June, they could kill the bills on gun control, abortion rights and gender-affirming care.
However, a new ballot measure approved by Oregon voters in November bars lawmakers who have 10 or more unexcused absences from running for reelection.
The two bills are central to Democrats’ legislative agenda this session.
The wide-ranging bill on abortion and gender-affirming care would implement a series of measures, including shielding patients and providers from lawsuits originating in states where such care is now restricted. It would also require public universities and community colleges with student health centers to provide medication abortion and emergency contraception.
Additionally, it would expand insurance coverage for gender-affirming health care by barring insurers from defining as cosmetic procedures that are prescribed as medically necessary for treating gender dysphoria, among other things.
The parts of the proposal that have proved to be the most contentious have to do with minors. Under the legislation, doctors would be allowed to provide an abortion to anyone regardless of age, and it would bar them in certain cases from disclosing that to parents.
Democratic lawmakers have said such scenarios are rare. But critics said this could exclude parents from key aspects of their child’s health care.
The gun control measure would increase the purchasing age to 21 for AR-15-style rifles and similar weapons, impose penalties for possessing undetectable firearms, and allow for more limited concealed-carry rights. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani army helicopter has rescued two Russians while one is missing after their team was hit by a pile of ice on a treacherous peak in the country’s north. Karrar Haidri, the secretary of the Alpine Club of Pakistan, said Monday that a rescue mission was underway to bring down two more climbers who were part of the five-member Russian team stranded on Gasherbrum peak over the weekend. The rescue mission was launched on Saturday after the mass of ice hit the climbers. They were on a mission to retrieve the body of another climber lost on the mountain last year.

Protestors unfurled a banner reading ‘Where Is Peng Shuai’ during the match between China’s Wang Qiang and American Madison Keys and one of the protesters also wore a t-shirt with the same slogan supporting Peng.
Security guards at the Australian Open on Friday ended the protest, according to Max Mok, who was one of three people involved in the demonstration.
Mok told CNN that security guards initially confiscated the banner citing a tournament ban on political paraphernalia. The guards told the protesters they could stay if they covered up their t-shirts but would not give the banner back.
CNN has learnt the confiscation happened away from the court where Wang and Keys were playing, with ultimately the trio leaving the Melbourne Park tournament venue with the banner, Mok said.
“I find it really, really cowardly. This is not a political statement, this is a human rights statement,” retired tennis champion Martina Navratilova said on the Tennis Channel, in response to organizers ending the protest.
Tennis player Nicolas Mahut also accused organizers of bowing to outside pressures.
“What’s going on?” he tweeted. “What lack of courage! What if you did not have Chinese sponsors?”
One of the Australian Open’s three “associate partners” is liquor company Luzhou Laojiao, which organizers said was the largest Chinese sponsorship deal in the history of the tournament when the sponsorship deal was announced in 2018.
“We are delighted to welcome Luzhou Laojiao to the Australian Open partner family, a significant event in the history of our organisation,” Tennis Australia’s Chief Revenue Officer Richard Heaselgrave.
“We’ve made no secret that China and the region are a major priority for the Australian Open, and that we take our role as the Grand Slam of Asia-Pacific seriously.”
Tennis Australia has not yet responded to CNN’s request for comment regarding the handling of the protest.
CNN Affiliate Channel 7 reported a response from the tournament organizer Saturday which read “Under our ticket conditions of entry we don’t allow clothing, banners or signs that are commercial or political.”
It added: “Peng Shuai’s safety is our primary concern. We continue to work with the WTA and global tennis community to seek more clarity on her situation and will do everything we can to ensure her wellbeing.”
Last November Peng was feared to be held incommunicado by the Chinese government after she accused retired Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of forcing her into sex during a years-long on-off relationship.
Peng later denied having made the sexual assault claim. The Women’s Tennis Association has continued to call for a thorough and transparent investigation into Peng’s allegations and suspended all tournaments in China over her safety.

Smart homes are the future of home automation. They offer convenience and a streamlined way to make your life easier in a variety of ways. However, smart home furniture can be hard to find because it’s not always easy to tell which pieces will work well with your home or how they can be incorporated into that space. Here are three strategies for finding smart home furnishings that look beautiful while still keeping you happy every day:
Think about your home’s layout
The first step in finding smart home furniture is to think about your home’s layout. What does it look like? How do people move through the space? Where are the natural gathering places and how can they be enhanced by smart technology?
Once you know what you want to do with a room and how it will be used, then it’s time to start shopping around for some great pieces of smart home furniture that work well with your existing decor and space.
Think about the size of your space
When you’re in the market for smart home furniture, it’s important to think about the size of your space. For example, if you have a small living room and want to fill it with lots of furniture, consider choosing smaller pieces like chairs and tables instead of couches or large armchairs that might overwhelm the room. Alternatively, if you have an expansive bedroom with plenty of floor space but only one bed (or even no beds), consider adding more than one mattress so that each person can have their own sleeping area without feeling crowded by their partner’s presence or having to share a bed all night long!
On top of thinking about how much space there is for things like beds and couches within each room in which we live or work every day – whether at home or at work – think also about where those spaces are located relative to other areas within those structures themselves: Is there enough sunlight coming through windows? Are there any architectural features such as columns blocking views? Does this window overlook another building which might cause privacy concerns when opened fully during warmer months due its proximity
Choose furniture that you’ll love for years to come
In addition to choosing furniture that will be useful, it’s also important that you choose pieces that are going to last. In other words, look for items with sturdy construction and materials that can withstand the test of time.
If you’re looking for smart home furniture that will grow with your family, think about how each piece could be used in multiple rooms throughout your home – or even by different members of the household. For example, a dining table can easily transition from being used as an eating area when guests come over (and then stored away) into a homework station when kids need extra space at night. Or maybe grandma would like her own place at Christmas dinner so she doesn’t feel left out!
You don’t have to compromise on aesthetics or function when it comes to smart home furnishings.
You don’t have to compromise on aesthetics or function when it comes to smart home furnishings. While many people are reluctant to try new things, there are plenty of smart home products that look great and perform just as well. If you’re looking for a way to upgrade your home with technology without the usual trade-offs, here are three strategies:
- Be open-minded!
- Try something even if it doesn’t meet all your requirements at first glance (but do consider whether or not you’ll like it before buying).
Finding smart home furniture that complements your home is a process, but it’s one that’s worth the effort. You want to make sure that your new piece of furniture fits well within your space and enhances its overall aesthetic without taking away from it. And if you’re able to find something with built-in smart technology? Even better! But don’t let this deter you from purchasing something purely because it doesn’t have all those bells and whistles–even basic items like nightstands or coffee tables can give your room a boost in terms of convenience while still looking great on their own merits as pieces of decorating | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The team at Yara are currently building a video and photo library to showcase their different product offering and the positive impact they have on farmers in South Africa. We were tasked with capturing photos and video footage of apples, nectarines and table grapes in a visually appealing way that aligned with their brand identity.
Excited to take on the challenge, and with a fair amount of freedom, we decided on a testimonial approach for Yara. With this, the biggest challenge was understanding the new farming industry. Videographers needed to understand the most important parts of the industry in order to capture what was necessary and ask the interviewees questions that would add the most value to the final product.
Really knowing the client and the benefits they provide to the farming industry, both economically and emotionally, was the first step in crafting a good story.
As with any filming project, time management was essential. We had to shoot three videos on the day. This meant that time had to be allocated carefully to ensure that enough footage was collected to create a stellar final product.
We shot on location at three farms in the Ceres and Trawal regions to capture photo and video footage. With this, three testimonial videos were built in which farmers explain the successes that they have achieved on their farms since introducing Yara products and the expert advice they received from their agents.
This approach allowed us to hero the products without hard-selling them. This adds an authentic feel to the brand, cultivating a feeling of trust.
Our overall vision for the videos was achieved by aligning what was discussed in the interview with what was captured visually. It was strengthened by an ongoing conversation between the videographer and the client to ensure all bases were covered. With this, the videographer could better communicate to the editor to ensure the end goal was achieved successfully. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Timber, stone, earth, glass, metal, leather, innovation, inspiration, sweat, tears and light. The materials in each and every piece from our studio have been carefully selected to encompass our core…
Introduction by Lyzadie – “When I first imagined the ReLEATHERED Collection, it was always going to feature used leather belts at the heart of the design. I loved the challenge…
Fjordland National Park is a wonder of natural beauty and Lyzadie was lucky enough to walk large sections of the park this summer. With some of the oldest rocks in New Zealand, its beauty feels literally carved from the earth…
Which leads, of course, to inspiration. There was so much to be inspired by: the roar of water cascading over ancient rock; every shade of green imaginable in the trees, the grasses the moss and stone; and the echoing call and flap of native birdlife.
What a year. We are so very thankful to have the ability to look back on 2020 and be able to see some light within the difficult times. If your journey has been a tough one, our hearts go out to you. Things have been rough for so many on so many levels, we recognize our privilege in being able to take stock, to reflect, to dream of a brighter time ahead.
Designers, dreamers, makers, we are the builders of our own world. Fully committed to our goals of bringing sustainable, positive luxury design to the world, we also believe that carries with it a responsibility to support and celebrate the lives and work of others.
We had big plans for 2020. Plans that included invitations to design fairs across the world. And then of course, the world changed. But within change, comes opportunity. The current restrictions on travel and personal interaction are difficult and sometimes heart-breaking to navigate, but artistry will always find a way to be alive in the hearts of those who hold it close.
In New Zealand for the longest time, the skies have been empty of clouds. The blue has stretched, bright, a path to the future, away above us. While the world locked down, New Zealand celebrated some of the cleanest air on earth.
We know that eating raw and natural ingredients is good for our inner health. What about our inner health in relation to the spaces we inhabit? How do we make sure our spaces are healthy for us and our families?
“There are moments in life that go beyond the ordinary, that add depth and dimension to our existence. Whether it’s art, music or another form of expression, each moment is like a gift.”

Waikiki showed me a side of Hawaii that I’d never seen before. It has the charm and beauty of the island state, but also the bustle of a major city. I spent several days in the Honolulu neighborhood for a family wedding and had such a great time.
High-end hotels line the Waikiki beach and department stores and restaurants fill the inland area. We ended up staying at the budget-friendly Stay Hotel for a few days and then moved to the historic Moana Surfrider hotel for the last few. We did this to save money but still get the luxurious Waikiki experience.
The beaches in Waikiki are soft and sandy and the waves attract tons of surfers. The beaches can be pretty crowded at times but still are lovely. We spent several days just relaxing on the beach and swimming in the water – which was the perfect temperature, even though our trip was in October! We did a catamaran ride which was a fun and surprisingly affordable way to spend an afternoon.
The shopping is walking distance from the resorts and includes many of the major department stores. There are also lots of restaurants around. Some of our favorite places that we ate at are Duke’s, Roy’s, and Maui Brewing Co.
Another highlight of our trip was our hike to Manoa Falls. The trail was not too challenging and took you through a beautiful rainforest. The waterfall at the top is gorgeous and makes for a great photo opt. We took an Uber there, and it only took about 20 minutes.

This is the theme that we have Chosen as Mapeera team members, in correspondence to this week’s readings, especially to this Sunday’s readings. It is simply suggested as an object of our reflection for this week. It is meant to help us refresh our memories and bring our families to our consciousness. Families here, I mean, our families back at home (for this purpose let’s call them individual families), our family here; Lavigerie House, and definitely Our PCJ family. Lord, May your Joy and Peace reign in our families, now and always, Amen. Just to come into grips with what we would mean by family is that: it is a basic societal unit; it is a school of life, where each one of us finds a sense of identity and a sense of belonging. It is precisely where we find our nourishment. It assumes primacy of influence in each one of us. To say that one belongs to family is to implicitly assert that he/she is a relational being; we are profoundly persons in a relation...

Evaristo, Collins and Yago at Tobie Kizza burial's site (Ibanda Parish) As a saying goes that ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ, it indeed spoke to me. It was after I had taken a step to read about Bro. Tobie Kizza, who also happened to be the first Muganda brother of the society of the Missionaries of Africa not only that but also the Patron of Tobie Kizza Team here in our community Lavigerie. Being born from the pagan background in 1872 in Burigi, this did not hinder him from achieving and discerning his call to discipleship. The man, who ate, worked, loved and lived with the famous martyrs (our fathers in faith) in the year 1886. Inspired by their lives, and their willingness to die for Christ, this gave Tobie more zeal and increased his commitment to Christ (rooted in Christ, we venture with hope). Despite the hard ships under the rule of the king, Tobie did... | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Human-Centered Design Approach for the New Age
By Erin Presseau, Director of Marketing & User Experience, SilverTech
With the explosion of e-commerce and online purchasing that occurred during the pandemic, we saw some shifts in the way we approached design and strategy. Although we wouldn’t call these radical changes, we knew that digital experiences had to re-focus on humanizing the experience as much as possible. When consumer emotions and stress are high (such as during a pandemic) a brand’s role is really to soothe, support and evoke human compassion (and trust).
Not just that, but to remain competitive in what was a digital-only environment for at least a short time during the pandemic, it is also important to integrate all the shopping convenience elements that customers have come to expect. Here’s a few ways you can do that with well-planned user experience strategy and design.
When consumer emotions and stress are high (such as during a pandemic) a brand’s role is really to soothe, support and evoke human compassion (and trust)
- Erin Presseau, Director of Marketing & User Experience, SilverTech
- Use more of pastel and more neutral tones in our palette that removed ‘noise’ and used white space and shades of color to guide the user toward action buttons or help options.
- Eliminate the ‘infinite scroll’ on mobile that increases user stress and likely slows down image loading which also detracts from the experience.
- Create conversational messaging and heading hierarchy that reminds users that there are humans behind the computer representing the company.
- Implement chatbots and A.I. features that look less robotic and showed some personality.
- Try Social media retargeting – creative display retargeting ads that show up in a social newsfeed since social media use was high during the pandemic.
- Protect the user’s privacy by telling consumers why data is being collected and how it provides benefit to them.
- Add personalized elements in content areas that include more than just product suggestions. Small things such as using a customer’s name in a place on the site where they wouldn’t expect it – such as a hero image or feature area – can help a customer feel valued.
- Publish videos that showcase products on a live model or being interacted with a live person.
- Build-in convenience features such as sticky navigation that features easy help options so that they aren’t hidden from view as the page scrolls.
- On product pages, make key information such as inventory availability, shipping information and delivery or pick-up options prominent. This became important during the pandemic and is here to stay. Customers don’t want to find out later that a product wasn’t in stock or that shipping will be delayed.
- Bring QR codes back that make it easy for customers to use coupons and offers on their phone rather than have to print it out. They also can be used for touchless payment and pick-up options.
Of course each situation is different and the most important tip I can offer is to conduct user testing and know your audience. Developing data-based personas and user journeys will be an eye opening experience if you’ve never done them. Specifically understanding motivations and fears of your customer segments is how you know what design elements will help overcome those fears, provide a calming sense of support and, ultimately, allow them to trust you. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Apple Health Benefits: Not-so-Common Benefits of This Common Fruit in Winters
Benefits of Apples:
Apples are a powerhouse of antioxidants and polyphenols found in both skins as well as in the skin of the fruit's essential nutrients. They are high in dietary fiber like pectin, boost metabolism and heart health, and regulate blood sugar levels. This crunchy, sweet fruit is the best fruit to take as a solitary snack as cookies, muffins, jam, salads, oats, and smoothies. '
5 Reasons Why You Should Consume Apples in Winter Season:
Improves Digestion: Apples include the wonder fiber pectin, which has many health benefits. This soluble fiber is excellent for digestion. Pectin, a soluble fiber, absorbs water from your intestines to create a gel, slows digestion, and pushes stool through. Malic acid present in apples helps in digestion.
Promotes Weight loss: This fruit contains dietary fiber pectin and is high in water. High in pectin fiber, apples can help you lose weight and lose stubborn belly fat. It keeps you fuller for longer, slows stomach emptying, reduces hunger pangs, and keeps you from devouring unhealthy junk and fatty meals. Apples contain natural plant chemicals that help to decrease cholesterol and encourage weight loss.
Lower Risk of Diabetes: Apples should be added to your diet to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. The high polyphenols in apples help to boost metabolism and reduce glucose uptake in the bloodstream. Apple polyphenols protect beta cells in the pancreas from injury. They help insulin production and glucose absorption, keeping diabetes under control.
Boost Metabolism: Apples are abundant in fiber and help in metabolism. Remember not to throw the apple peel in the trash while eating it. Apple aids in the detoxifying process due to its high fiber content. It protects the liver and the digestive system from toxic substances.
Good For the Heart: Apples contain very high levels of pectin and polyphenols, a lower risk of heart disease. They have high flavonoid polyphenol that helps to decrease bad cholesterol and prevent lipid oxidation in cells. They are high in epicatechin and low blood pressure and prevent the hardening of arteries due to atherosclerosis, boosting blood flow and circulation from the heart to the essential organs. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Minneapolis, July 30 – The Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association today welcomed bioinnovation leader, Novozymes, as its latest vendor member.
“We are pleased to welcome Novozymes to our portfolio of members. Novozymes provides its customers with advanced bioinnovation solutions that set new standards for performance and viability,” said Tim Rudnicki, executive director of the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association.
Novozymes provides solutions for starch-based ethanol, cellulosic ethanol and biodiesel. The company enables its customers to optimize the use of raw materials and energy, thereby reducing the environmental impact of their operations.
The company, which traces its roots to Denmark-based Novo Terapeutisk Laboratorium formed in 1925, has maintained a presence in the United States since 1979 and Canada since 2007. It has over 1,300 employees across the U.S. and Canada.
It operates the country’s largest multi-purpose enzyme manufacturing facility in North Carolina and opened a new enzyme plant in Nebraska solely dedicated to the biofuels industry in 2012.
“Novozymes is a long-time supporter and committed partner to the biofuels industry. We strongly believe in the future of this industry and will continue to deliver transformative innovations to our customers and champion the benefits of biofuels to the world,” said Peter Halling, senior director for global marketing in biofuels at Novozymes.
For starch-based ethanol, Novozymes offers technology for ethanol production which includes a wide-range of high-value enzymes that optimize the conversion of grains which in turn result in higher ethanol yields, faster throughput and lower overall processing costs.
For cellulosic ethanol, Novozymes, which invests more than 14 percent of its annual revenue in research and development, offers its Cellic® products which provide a commercially viable, cost-effective solution that is proven to hydrolyze multiple types of feedstocks.

Minneapolis, March 8 - The Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association (MN Bio-Fuels) and Chippewa Valley Ethanol Company (CVEC) hosted virtual plant visits for two classes at Benson High School on March 4.
During the plant visits, the students, from grades 9 to 12, were given a virtual presentation on the plant’s operations, facts on the ethanol industry and a video on the ethanol production process.
“Corn is a solar panel - it takes in sunlight, moisture and CO2 and creates energy. We take that energy and convert it back into something that consumers can use. At the end of the day, we break that energy out, we put CO2 and water vapor back out and recycle it to produce more ethanol - this is the renewable energy cycle.
“We’re not pulling carbon out of the ground and emitting it into the atmosphere. Instead, we’re pulling carbon out of the air and put it into something we can convert into energy,” said Chad Friese, CEO of CVEC, to the students.
In total, 20 students from two classes - Agriculture Sales and Marketing and Agriculture Processing - participated in the virtual visits.
Friese said CVEC sources 17 million bushels of corn from local farms within 20 to 25 miles of the plant each year to produce 50 million gallons of ethanol and 140,000 tons of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) annually.
He said some of the ethanol produced at CVEC is used to produce industrial grade alcohol for products such as sanitizers and disinfectants while the the DDGS produced is delivered to local cattle, dairy, hog and turkey farmers.
“These virtual visits provide students with a better idea of how renewable energy is produced and the crucial role it plays in strengthening rural economies while reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions,” said Tim Rudnicki, executive director of MN Bio-Fuels.
During the virtual visits, Friese spoke about the necessary qualifications for the various careers at CVEC and the ethanol industry.
Jeanne Anderson, Agriculture Sciences and FFA Advisor at Benson High School, participated in both virtual visits with her students.
“Benson students were able to benefit from the virtual visits with CVEC by getting insight on a local company. They were able to learn potential jobs and careers, as well as understand the scope of target scale production,” she said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

After 75 years of distilling Tequila in Arandas and selling throughout Mexico, the venerable Tequila Tapatio has arrived in the U.S.
Distiller/owner Carlos Camarena has developed cult like status with Tequila lovers. The hard to obtain Tapatio brand stands alone with its traditional Tequila flavor profile accenting the 100% Highlands Blue Agaves. Why is it so loved?
The Carlos Camarena Family distillery La Altena distills its Tequilas only from estate grown blue agaves. When Charbay's father and son team decided to distill their own Charbay Tequila, the Camarenas invited them to distill with them.
The two families shared distilling methods. The family friendship expanded into Charbay becoming the exclusive USA Importer of the Tequila Tapatio brand. "I am still in awe of the complexities of distilling Tequila," says Miles Karakasevic, Master Distiller/Owner of Charbay. "Tequila fans should visit La Altena."
True Tequila aficionados and star bartenders make the trek to Carlos Camarena's La Altena Distillery as a right of passage into the old family world of Tequila. Enlightened by Tapatio's intriguing flavor profile, many have tried for years to get it into the US. Finally the friendship & trust of two distilling families opened the exporting channels.
Tapatio sets the bar for the old authentic flavor that is disappearing in modern Tequilas. Their lore is backed by 75 years of one family's dedication to the old methods of production.
Suggested retail is $34 per liter bottle

1 And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
2 it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him.
7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 And he said unto me, Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and slay me; for anguish hath taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10 So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12 and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.
14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?
15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him, so that he died.
16 And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18 (and he bade them teach the children of Judah `the song of' the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
19 Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen!
20 Tell it not in Gath, Publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings: For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they were not divided: They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.
24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who clothed you in scarlet delicately, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: Very pleasant hast thou been unto me: Thy love to me was wonderful, Passing the love of women.
27 How are the mighty fallen, And the weapons of war perished! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
This article explores the legal ambiguity and concerns regarding current regulations in the expanding Web3 market. It delves into expert perspectives on the potential stifling of innovation and discusses proposed solutions.
It is no secret that the Web3 market is expanding quickly, but as the industry develops, there has been an increase in the level of legal ambiguity surrounding current restrictions. What do experts think should be done about concerns that current regulations are stifling innovation?
The market for Web3 blockchains was valued at $1.73 billion globally in 2022, and it is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 47.1% from 2023 to 2030. This industry’s growth is anticipated to be further fueled by enterprises’ increasing use of Web3 technology in areas like smart contracts, digital identity, and documentation.
The authorities, however, have failed to keep up with the rate of development, as has frequently been observed in the past in a variety of other areas.
A discussion panel on the situation of Web3 regulation in the EU was hosted at Polkadot Decoded by the Web3 Foundation, a tech organization that funds research and development teams in the Web3 sector.
The panelists talked about the advantages of Web3 blockchain technology, which may be able to help with present Web2 problems such internet privacy, security, and intellectual property utilization. The panelists concurred that laws for web3 technology should be specifically adapted to the uses of blockchain technology and should put a greater emphasis on behavior than on technology.
The topic of legal clarity for Web3 entrepreneurs was covered, along with the reasons why fast-moving nations like the EU are outpacing slower-moving states that seem to be mired in definitional and jurisdictional uncertainty.
US regulation of digital assets
The panel discussed Daniel Schoenberger’s evidence before the US Congress regarding the regulation of digital assets. Daniel Schoenberger is the chief legal officer of the Web3 Foundation. Schoenberger suggested that the Web3 industry’s innovation has ultimately been hampered by the current regulatory framework.
From the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States’ regulatory enforcement activities to the EU’s most recent legislation, the Market in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation, which enters into force this month, regulators around the world take various approaches to regulation.
“The Web3 Foundation sees its role as helping regulators understand blockchain technology,” Schoenberger stated during the session. Companies ought to be governed according to who they are and what they do. The way some jurisdictions have adapted their policies to the realities of the technology gives us hope.
“The EU’s MiCA regulation, which has its own class of utility token and has taken a crucial step toward recognizing the different classes of tokens based on their functionalities, is a good example of this deep understanding.”
Blockchain is a revolution in society
During the panel, Joachim Schwerin, the director-general internal market, industry, entrepreneurship and SEMs of the European Commission, provided his perspective on blockchain technology as the unit’s primary economist. Blockchain is a revolution in society, according to Schwerin. When we proclaimed that blockchain is an innovation priority for Europe for the ensuing decades in every area of policy, we already showed that it prioritizes decentralization and bottom-up empowerment.
We have never before in the history of the European Union made a statement about a technology so soon after it had first appeared.
Web3’s function in reducing privacy threats was described by Paige Collings, senior speech and privacy activist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation: “It is crucial that any regulation should be addressing behaviors rather than technologies. The mere fact that something is decentralized does not eliminate bad actors. The decentralized web requires the same considerations as the centralized web, so we need to make sure that they are also applied there. We also need to make sure that any new developments prioritize protecting people’s speech and privacy rather than just using this as an excuse to innovate. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Those were the single days. Cleaning out the refrigerator when vacating an apartment took little time. The family has been a little harder on the fridge with this cookery. But I’m getting through the sticky remains with baking soda, water and a soft kitchen sponge. Moving or not, baking soda removes the last bite. Cheers to a clean getaway!

Carlos Sainz registered the fastest timing during the first qualifying session of the Australian GP at Albert Park
Carlos Sainz made a commendable start to his Australian Grand Prix. The Ferrari driver completed a total of 24 laps during the first qualifying session and registered the fastest timing on the grid. Sainz clocked a timing of 1:19:806 leaving behind team-mate Charles Leclerc in second place. The Red Bull duo of Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen were just behind in third and fourth places respectively. Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton was placed 7th on the grid in FP1.
Ferrari continue their good run with both drivers occupying the top two spots on the ladder. Red Bull are posing a strong challenge but Mercedes are still struggling to get their rhythm. Alpine’s Esteban Ocon completed 27 laps, the highest in FP1. Haas’ driver Mick Schumacher, who is making a comeback after missing the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix completed the least laps (15) during the session and registered a timing that was only good enough for the bottom spot.
Carlos Sainz is on the verge of signing a new deal with Ferrari
Sainz has made a great start to the 2022 F1 World Championship. He made it to the podium in both Bahrain (2nd) and Saudi Arabia (3rd). Sainz has been very consistent in his performances and has now made a good start to the Australian GP as well. His consistency is set to land him a new deal with Ferrari. Sainz’s existing contract runs out at the end of 2022.
Carlos Sainz recently revealed that he is “extremely close” to a contract renewal with the Ferrari F1 team. “I think we are close. Very, very close. Very close. Extremely close. Nearly there”, said Sainz speaking on the prospects of securing a new deal with Ferrari.
Red Bull team Principal Mattia Binotto confirmed Sainz’s statement about securing a new deal. “I think we found an agreement. It’s only a matter to translate to paper”, he said.
Things are looking really bright for both Sainz and Ferrari. Coming into the Australian GP, Sainz is placed second in the drivers’ championship with 33 points just behind team-mate Charles Leclerc who is on 45. Ferrari are clear ahead of the pack in the Constructors’ Championship, having secured 78 points after the first two races of the season.

Some Guest Reviews
“A wonderful place to stay in Maui – peaceful, lovely, and good!”
The cottage is tucked away in a neighborhood, surrounded by lush greenery – it felt very secluded, though it wasn’t . We slept and woke to the sounds of the surf – less than 1/4 mile away from the cottage. We drove all over Maui, twice to summit of Haleakala, to Hana, to beaches on all shores, and were happy to come home to our comfortable cottage. It’s less than a mile from Paia town, Baldwin Beach, and Ho’okipa beaches – so good. We stayed two weeks, and loved it! If you’re not into high rise condos or hotels, this is for you! Patti
” This is a very nice cottage in the middle of abundant vegetation. Ocean, beach and the famous “Mama’s Fish House” are only 5 minutes walking distance and the plantation town Paia with its shops and restaurants one mile away. so the cottage is definitely well located and there are no disturbances whatsoever. The cottage itself has a lot of charm, the kitchen is well equipped. It’s a lovely place to hang loose and to enjoy Maui.” Florence & Michael, Switzerland | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center (CTIIC) in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is looking to connect the dots across government to keep the country protected from cyberattacks, and to relay those threats in “plain English” to decision makers, CTIIC’s director said this week.
CTIIC does not have a public-facing role; rather it exists to advise within government on attack threats, said Erin Joe, the organization’s director, during a June 2 online event organized by Federal News Network.
“The general public will not see a CTIIC product in all likelihood,” said Joe, a former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent, who has led the center since March 2019. “Where we provide a service is providing the information that already exists out there, and compiling and publishing it in a way that allows for the broadest dissemination possible.”
“Our biggest contribution, in facilitating decision making, is to report these threats in plain English,” said Joe, “in a way that decision makers can quickly understand, and then take action.”
CTIIC was created in 2015 by presidential memorandum, and is charged with producing analysis of foreign cyber threats, coordinating information sharing, and planning exercises to prepare government’s response to cyberattacks.
“For over a year CTIIC has been working, with others in government, to craft the scenario,” said Joe, “so that we can practice our communications, our collaboration, our authorities, our capabilities, well in advance of an event.”
She gave the example of coordinating for a cyber event that has physical effects with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) – an agency which typically does not focus on cyber. The value for government agencies participating in these kinds of recurring national-level preparatory exercise includes identifying key decision points, building relationships across government, and making determinations in advance of an event.
The center also offers a rotational, joint duty program for Federal employees. That partnership program allows for cybersecurity knowledge to be spread across various agencies, and gives CTIIC a clearer view into agency leadership, Joe said.
While the center is not an organization with public relationships, like the FBI or Department of Homeland Security, Joe said CTIIC focuses on contributing context and clarity to the intelligence picture.
Calling context “the bread and butter of CTIIC,” Joe said the organization details the history of threat actors, their intentions and capabilities, and provides geopolitical context as well. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Read this for a thought I have about staying sober . . ."relapse prevention"
One Day At A Time, preventing myself from taking the next drink required the strongest efforts inavoiding a relapse than nearly anything else I have ever done. And yet it has been worth every second of the last 23 or so plus years.
I had to become very aware of
1.) "triggers", my "NOT" placing myself in specific places and situations where I use to drink before, by taking a different route home from work thus not passing my favorite bars. Avoiding some parties where drinking was a major aspect of the facilities or planned evets. Or once in awhile even leaving an event ("triggers" can catch you unprepared) that turned into the kind of party I should avoid.
2.) "stressors", avoiding the build up of too much work, by being much better organized. Same for at home projects and work, by less procrastinating thus not having too much to do at once, (thus stress build-up) and being sure to put some special relaxiing time to-the-side for yourself and family.
3.) "personal behaviors", like I had to avoid getting into needless arguments or dissagreements, with my family (and/or again at work) by consciously making the effort to avoid negative confrontations . . . planning ahead, being prepared and showing the same level of caring you expect of others, in return.
One Day At A Time, (One Hour At A Time - when & wherever necessary)
These steps are a big part of how I have stayed free of alcohol use, abuse or missuse over the past 25+ years. I want to give a positive idea(s) to anyone
who needs/wants it even if it is to only one or two people looking for guidance.
If this becomes valuable I have plenty of additional ideas I can share including a
simple stress management set of tools that can help us all cope better with life.
The A.M.A. says stress is the leading cause of illness and doctors office
visits and it goes without saying that addiction flurishes in a negative stressful
environment. My brief background is posted in "Main Catagories - Pain Pills".

Among the most prevalent fence types for residential and commercial purposes, chain link and wood fences stand out. Both offer robustness, security, and privacy potential, albeit with distinct merits and drawbacks.
Both chain link and wood fences, encompassing wood picket and wood privacy styles, fulfill various roles, from containing children or pets to enhancing security and augmenting property aesthetics.
Chain link fences find favor in residential settings due to their affordability and ease of installation. Available in four and six-foot heights, the four-foot variant prevails due to its cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, the six-foot alternative delivers enhanced security, making it more formidable to climb.
Comparison to Wood Privacy Fences
In contrast, wood privacy fences promise comprehensive seclusion by aligning boards without gaps. This makes them an ideal choice for homeowners seeking to shield themselves from neighbors or foster an air of seclusion in their outdoor space.
However, wood picket fences offer diminished privacy, featuring spaced pickets that allow glimpses through. This quality may suit homeowners keen on monitoring their children or pets, or those interested in showcasing their landscaping.
Why Chain Link Fences Are Popular
Chain link fences remain popular across residential and commercial settings owing to their affordability and simplicity of installation. Furthermore, they boast durability, withstanding substantial wear and tear.
Nonetheless, chain link fences inherently lack privacy unless complemented with plastic slats. The six-foot version of chain link fencing affords more privacy compared to the four-foot variant. Additionally, chain link fencing can sport vinyl covering in black or green, or it can take on a California-style appearance, incorporating wooden posts and caps for a distinct visual identity.
Other Factors in Consideration
Cost – The expense of a fence hinges on material choices, quality, and dimensions. Additional boards in wood fencing, thicker chain link materials, and the incorporation of post caps can escalate costs. Generally, chain link fencing proves more budget-friendly than wood fencing of comparable size.
Durability – Chain link fencing typically undergoes galvanization for added protection against environmental elements. The longevity of wood fences varies based on wood type. Midwest Fence employs Durazyme®-treated Western Red Cedar, bolstering its rot-resistance and minimizing warping, twisting, or discoloration. Nevertheless, chain link fences generally boast a longer lifespan than wood counterparts.
Maintenance – Chain link fences necessitate minimal upkeep, while wood fences might require repainting or restaining every few years. Though treated lumber is less susceptible to decay, it still requires maintenance to shield against elemental harm. On the whole, chain link fences demand less maintenance than wood alternatives. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

- 500+ Connections: Having 500+ connections on LinkedIn is an indication of an active and connected profile. This can encourage other professionals to contact you and take you more seriously.
2. Profile Text
Your profile text represents you and your professional background. A good profile piece:
- It should clearly state your profession and specialization.
- It should succinctly summarize your achievements, skills and goals.
- It should be written in a professional language and be free of grammatical and spelling errors.
- After you give the main points to ChatGPT 4.0 or a similar artificial intelligence software, it can create a quick Linkedin article for you.
3. Membership to Groups
LinkedIn groups allow you to network with professionals with similar interests. Being active in groups:
- It gives you access to up-to-date information about your sector.
- It helps you to exchange ideas.
- It makes you open to new business opportunities or partnership offers.
4. Importance of Certificates
Certificates prove your competence and knowledge in a specific field. Showcase your certifications on your LinkedIn profile:
- Highlights your area of expertise.
- Builds trust with potential employers.
5. Difference between CV and Resume and Effective Resume Writing Techniques
- CV (Curriculum Vitae): Provides a detailed account of your academic and professional background. They are usually longer and include details such as academic achievements, projects and publications.
- Resume: Summarizes your professional experience and skills. They are usually 1-2 pages long.
To write an effective resume:
- Create a strong summary or profile section at the beginning.
- Use keywords that highlight your achievements and skills.
- Support your achievements with numerical data (e.g. I achieved a 10% sales increase).
- Use active sentences and adopt positive language.
6. 30 Days Free LinkedIn Premium Deal
LinkedIn Premium gives you more detailed profile statistics, InMail service, etc. If you are thinking of expanding your professional network, I recommend you to take this opportunity. For 30 days you can test the premium features with a free trial.
All in all, LinkedIn is a tremendous tool for building your professional network and advancing your career. However, in order to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the platform, you should carefully create your profile and keep updating it.

After the death of the sadistic dictator Gen. Sanni Abacha in 1998, Nigeria underwent a one-year transitional military administration headed by Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, who uncharacteristically bowed out precisely on the promised date for military disengagement. Did the military truly disengage, however? No.
Given the scale of trauma caused by the genocide, Rwanda has indicated that however thin the hope of a community can be, a hero always emerges. Although no one can dare claim that it is now a perfect state, and that no more work is needed, Rwanda has risen from the ashes as a model or truth and reconciliation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Alpacas are fascinating creatures that have been domesticated for thousands of years. These gentle animals are known for their luxurious fleece, which is highly sought after for its softness and warmth.
Here's some of why we work with Alpacas...
One of the main reasons why people choose to raise alpacas is their potential for profitability. Alpaca fleece is a valuable commodity, with prices ranging from $3 to $10 per ounce. With proper care and breeding, a single alpaca can produce several pounds of fleece each year, which can be sold to textile manufacturers or used to create high-quality products such as socks, scarves, and sweaters. Additionally, alpacas can be bred for their offspring, which can be sold as pets or breeding stock.
2. Low Maintenance
Compared to other livestock, alpacas require minimal maintenance. They have a gentle disposition and are easy to handle, making them suitable for both experienced farmers and beginners. Alpacas are hardy animals that can adapt to various climates and are resistant to many common diseases. They have a natural aversion to predators and can be trained to use a designated area for waste, making cleanup a breeze.
Alpacas are environmentally friendly animals. They have a soft impact on the land and do not damage pastures like other livestock. Alpacas have padded feet, which minimize soil compaction and erosion. Additionally, alpacas have a unique digestive system that allows them to efficiently convert grass and hay into energy, reducing the need for large amounts of feed. This makes them a sustainable choice for farmers who are conscious of their environmental impact.
4. Therapeutic Value
Alpacas have a calming and therapeutic effect on humans. Their gentle nature and soft fleece make them ideal companions for individuals with special needs or those seeking emotional support. Many therapy programs and facilities use alpacas to provide comfort and companionship to people of all ages. The presence of alpacas can reduce stress, improve mood, and promote a sense of well-being.
5. Educational Opportunities
Raising alpacas can be a great educational experience for both children and adults. Alpacas are fascinating animals with unique characteristics and behaviors. By caring for alpacas, individuals can learn about animal husbandry, fiber arts, and the importance of sustainable agriculture. Many alpaca farms offer educational programs and farm tours, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with these amazing creatures.
In conclusion, raising alpacas as livestock offers numerous benefits, from profitability and low maintenance to eco-friendliness and therapeutic value. Whether you are a seasoned farmer or someone looking for a new and rewarding venture, consider adding alpacas to your farm. Their gentle nature, luxurious fleece, and unique qualities make them a valuable addition to any agricultural operation.

An incident occurred sometime last month when my MacBook's power adaptor stopped working. I noticed some exposed internal wires at the part of the adaptor cable closest to the power brick. I was able to go to the Apple Store to replace the adaptor, but I was out of a computer for about 15 hours. Some people can go without computers without much hardship, but as a computer science major, I always need access to a computer in order to do my programming assignments and to do other work. My backup machine was a 266MHz Pentium II laptop with 64MB RAM running the FreeBSD operating system. I pulled it out of its laptop case, hoping that I could do my assignments on this machine for the day. Unfortunately, when I launched my web browser, I found out that Cal Poly's residential Internet service (ResNet) changed the way that Linux and BSD users logged into the network. Previously (sometime before mid-2007 or so), to log onto ResNet as a *nix user, you opened your web browser, typed your user name and password in an HTML page, and voila! You're online. However, ResNet changed the system such that it opens a Java applet that requests your information. Sounds reasonable, except installing Java on a 266MHz Pentium II running FreeBSD is not a walk in the park. (On FreeBSD, this requires compiling the source code for Java, which on such a slow machine can take literally a day). I was defeated and ended up walking to the computer science department labs that Sunday evening. This incident motivated me to buy an extra computer that was fast enough to get online at Cal Poly and meet ResNet's requirements and also be a useful machine for writing papers, SSHing into my computer science department account, and some light web browsing. If something happened to one of my machines, I can still do all of my work on the other.
The system that I bought today (once upgraded) will meet those needs. I bought a 350MHz Power Mac G4 with 384MB RAM and a 10GB hard drive for $40 (not bad when compared to prices for similar machines on Craigslist or Ebay). This is a first-generation Power Mac G4, and for the Mac aficionados here, this is a Yikes! model, not the superior Sawtooth model that replaced it just a few months later. However, the computer came with a problem (it was advertised with this problem); when booting, it shows a flashing question mark. On a Mac, this means that the computer cannot find the installed operating system. After experimenting and investigating, I discovered that the Mac could not recognize the 10GB hard drive installed. Must either be a hard drive failure or, even worse, an issue with the IDE controller. I then realized that I had a spare 4.3GB hard drive sitting around that I picked up about a year or two ago from the computer science department labs (they sometimes have a box of old, unwanted equipment, labeled "Free!" One of my friends found a classic "clicky" IBM keyboard on one of those "free" days). I set the jumpers, installed the hard drive, and was happy when my Mac noticed the hard drive. I installed a fresh copy of Mac OS 9.1 on my Power Mac G4 (that was the operating system that came on the restore disks that I received).
Unfortunately, I was still unable to go on the Internet with Mac OS 9. Although Mac OS 9 is one of the most secure operating systems in existence (there is a lack of viruses and worms, there are no open ports, and very few people actually use it in 2009), it does not meet ResNet's minimum requirements for access. Apparently I'll need to upgrade to at least Jaguar (10.2) in order to get on the Internet.
Nevertheless, I am glad that I have another computer. I am impressed by the speed of Mac OS 9 on this machine (it's the fastest classic Mac that I've ever used), and I am also impressed by the well-designed case. Accessing the internals is very easy; I don't need to use a screwdriver to open the case.
Here are the upgrades that I plan to make. I do not plan to spend any more than $160 on hardware and software upgrades:
- Add another IDE hard drive; either 40GB or 80GB
- Upgrade memory to 640MB or 896MB
- Locate and install Mac OS X Jaguar or Panther.
- Find old versions of productivity software such as Microsoft Office for Mac or ClarisWorks. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
