When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the law of the Lord, ‘Every firstborn male shall be designated as holy to the Lord’), and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, ‘a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.’
Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying,
‘Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace,
according to your word;
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
a light for revelation to the Gentiles
and for glory to your people Israel.’
And the child’s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, ‘This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed – and a sword will pierce your own soul too.’
There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage, then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped there with fasting and prayer night and day. At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
When they had finished everything required by the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

To expedite the roll-out of 5G, telecom operators in the country will leverage street furniture such as poles, advertisement hoardings and bus shelters for deploying low-power base stations called ‘small cells’ that will help bring the network closer to the consumers.
Small cells are needed for deploying 5G as opposed to earlier generations such as 4G, because of the frequency. The higher the frequency, the lower the wavelength, which means that the distance they travel is less.
Small cells are low-powered radio access nodes or base stations that have a coverage range from a few metres up to a few hundred metres. They are portable, easy to deploy and help provide localised coverage.
As per the TRAI paper, small cells provide coverage for very short distances and therefore they are installed in a large number — even more than 200 per square kilometre — for good geographical coverage to provide highly reliable and high-capacity broadband. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Automobiles are the primary means of passenger transportation worldwide, logging over three trillion miles (five trillion kilometers) per year. They provide a high level of personal mobility, making it possible to travel wherever and whenever one wants, without worrying about the unpredictability or hassle of public transit or finding a ride. For many people, a car has become an indispensable part of their daily lives and the foundation for their work, family life, social interactions and leisure activities.
In recent decades, automobile manufacturers have produced hundreds of models, competing to attract the most buyers and win market share. Some manufacturers offer new designs almost annually. Passenger cars account for the bulk of production, with a variety of sizes and configurations ranging from economical small sedans to large luxury SUVs. Most are powered by internal-combustion engines using a volatile fuel. Modern cars have evolved into complex technical systems, with thousands of subsystems designed for specific functions and driven by advances in materials such as steel, aluminum, and high-strength plastics; in electronic computers; and in manufacturing processes such as computer-aided design and robotic assembly.
The automobile has brought profound changes to American industry and technology, as well as to everyday life. It gave people more freedom to move around and connect with the world, changing where families lived and what they did for a living. It created the suburbs, reshaped city planning, and brought urban amenities—like schools, hospitals and shopping malls—to rural areas. It fueled the growth of industries that made and used automobiles, such as petroleum and gasoline, rubber and then plastics, and provided services like gas stations and convenience stores.
Some historians have called the automobile one of the greatest inventions in human history. It has made a major contribution to globalization, by bringing together distant cultures and economies in ways that previously were impractical or impossible. Today, it is nearly inconceivable to live in America without a car.

The Bible (which means "the Book") is composed of 66 books written
over thousands of years by many different and highly literate people,
Hebrews and Christians, tracing back to Adam, who lived the story
of God's presence in their lives. It is attested to by a whole redemptive
community over time, as inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Bible starts
with the historical story of creation, identifies the story of the first
sin, and traces the story of redemption to the first and second comings
of the Messiah. The Bible, on its own terms, expects all of its claims
to be tested by the disciplines of history, science, law and reason;
indeed, the Bible is the source for these disciplines, and it invites
the toughest questions of its skeptics.
The Qur'an (which means "Recitation") is the holy book of the religion
of Islam (a word which means "submit"). The Islamic people are known
as Muslims. The origin of this word is uncertain, either from a
people in sixth century A.D. who originally followed a prophet
named Maslamah, or it may mean "traitor," used originally as a derogatory
word by those who opposed Islam, but later adopted as a badge of honor
by followers of Islam. The Qur'an is composed of 114 Surahs. The first
Surah is short and gives a model prayer for Muslims. Surahs 2-114 do
not have a historical or theological order, but they go in order from
the longest to the shortest. Surahs may be regarded as chapters, but
not in the biblical sense of an ordered larger text. Rather, each Surah
is regarded as a distinct revelation given by the Muslim god Allah to
the otherwise illiterate Muhammad (ca. 570-632 A.D.), during the last
22 years of his life. The Qur'an is designed for recitation by faithful
Muslims who are expected to submit to it without questions.
Thus, we note some crucial distinctions. The Bible starts with the
origin of history, and traces history to the time of Jesus's first disciples,
and is written by many people over thousands of years who belong to
a redemptive community. The witness of many, where cross-examination
of truth claims is assumed. The Qur'an comes through one man over 22
years, starts with a doctrinal prayer, and is historically and theologically
unordered thereafter. The witness of one, where there is no cross-examination
of truth claims.
2. The God of the Bible and Allah of the Qur'an
The God of the Genesis 1-2 is Yahweh Elohim. In the Hebrew, these
names by definition refer to the true Creator who is greater than
space, time and number, and who spoke the creation into being. In contrast,
the pagan gods of Babylon, Athens, Rome, Egypt, the Indus
River Valley et al. were all limited, petty, jealous and capricious
deities -- smaller than and subsequent to the material universe.
Some skeptics since the 1850s have tried to argue that Yahweh was a
Hebrew tribal deity, one of many pagan deities in the ancient Near East.
But to do so, they had to twist Scripture and history, and be intellecually
dishonest concerning scholarly research.
The name of Allah comes from a pagan male deity in Arabia at the time,
who had his female consort, Al-Lat. The Qur'an represents Allah as
the true and all-powerful god. But in historical terms, we shall see how
Muhammad elevated a local tribal deity to be the One God, in order to
advance his stature as the Prophet of the One God.
Thus we see a conflict, which solid historical work reveals:
Unbelievers seek to reduce the true God in Genesis to the level of a pagan
and limited deity; the god of Islam is in reality an obscure pagan deity
who has been raised to the level of being the "One God."
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

12 Things I Learned From My Internship
By Lauren Jumes
Breaking into the workforce straight from college is almost impossible, which is why internships are so valuable. Fortunately, I was able to land an internship this summer at the Fort Worth law firm of Varghese Summersett. Granted, my dad is an attorney there, but hopefully being at the top of my high school senior class qualified me to handle the mostly clerical and research-related tasks I was given daily. Either way, I learned a lot this summer during my internship, which I hope to apply to future endeavors. Here’s some of my takeaways from working at a fast-paced law firm this summer.
1. Be Organized
This is key to getting stuff done in a timely manner. If you are not organized, and cannot find relevant documents or information, how can you expect your supervisors to use it?
2. Dress the Part
I interned at a law firm where you must dress professionally. In high school, no one really cares what you wear except for the teachers, who want it to be modest. In the workforce, it is always better to dress for the job you want, not necessarily the job you have.
3. Don’t Rush
Take your time so you will do it correctly the first time. No matter who your supervisor is, I promise they would rather you do it right and take longer, than do it fast and have it wrong.
4. Figure it Out.
Whatever you do, do not go running to someone else to fix your mistakes before you try and fix them yourself. If you broke it, fix it. If you try to fix it and can’t, that’s when you ask for help. This summer, I broke a shredder. I had to ask for help on that one. Good times.
5. Be Yourself.
Do not try to impress people by fitting into the mold of your other workers. Internships are meant to show the employer your skills, work ethic and individuality. That way, they can determine if you’re a good fit with the company.
6. Make Friends.
Even if you’re much younger, or you do not have as much work experience or you feel like your coworkers are smarter than you, try not to be intimidated. Knock down your walls and be open because it is more fun to go to work knowing you have friends, than to sit there and do your work and leave.
7. No matter the task, it is important.
Whether you are shredding, filing, or getting coffee, your work is appreciated. Even if you do not see the significance of what you are doing, other people do.
8. Be Humble.
Some of the Associates I worked with started off as interns themselves. Working hard and remaining humble is a sure way to impress your bosses. Seeking the spotlight, on the other hand, can be counterproductive.
9. Treat Everyone with Respect.
It does not matter who you are talking to, you should always respect everyone. People will remember how you treat them – from the bailiffs, to court clerks, court reporters, and clients – and you are always representing the firm.
10. Be Punctual
If you are asked to be somewhere at a specific time, you should not only be there on time but a bit early.
11. Stay on Top of Things
Stay on top of due dates because waiting until the last minute not only puts stress on you, but it also stresses out your coworkers.
12. Learn from Your Mistakes
This is one of the most cliché statements in the world to me, but my summer internship has made me understand how true this lesson is. Mistakes – we all make them. If you do not learn from your mistakes, then you are doomed to keep repeating them. It’s probably a good idea to learn from mistakes other people make too.
Lauren Jumes is a senior at Boswell High School in Saginaw, Texas. She is planning on attending A&M University next fall and is toying with the idea of becoming a lawyer one day. Judging by the work she’s done for us, we have no doubt she is going to be a success at anything she puts her mind to. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Today marked the first official day of the Marginal Arts Festival, although Lycee events (workshops, debates, etc,) have been going on all week. Chelsea and I ventured downtown and were happy to run into Brian Counihan, who was garnering attention for the festival by parading through Market Square wearing a huge papier-mâché sugar skull.
Our first official MAF event was Circus Pony, a circus-inspired collection of works curated by local artist Susan Jamison for the Star City Creator’s Society. This colorful and whimsical show, held at Liminal Alternative Artspace (302 Campbell Ave SE) includes works by local and national artists with a special opening night performance by Tif Robinette. The show will hang until April 12, so be sure to stop by and see it while you can!

As parents who try to get their offspring to sit and listen to a story learn early on, rhymes catch and hold the attention of small children. And some of them are even fun to read; like this one, one of my favorite rhyming storybooks. A lyrical, rhyming tag-you’re-it plot device introduces characters drawn from traditional children’s rhymes: Jack and Jill, Old Mother Hubbard, Tom Thumb, Robin Hood, and so on.
But as delightful as the text is, the illustrations are even better: cute, but not cloying, charmingly-rendered characters and picturesque landscapes of the English Countryside at its storybook best.
One caveat: there is a wicked witch in one bit. But Robin Hood brings her to justice, and, as on the last page she is shown smiling and eating plumb pie with the rest of the cast as an obviously accepted member of society, my 3-year-old grandson points out that “she repented.” (My 4-year-old grandson replied, “I think the plum pie made her repent.”)
This book has no moral, no message. It’s just a delightful, beautifully-done book for the youngest readers. But here’s what makes it valuable – it’s a book which just might keep a toddler’s attention long enough for him to be infected with the love of books. And very importantly – since when children of this age fall in love with a book, they want to hear it over and over – it’s a book neither of you will get tired of quickly. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Would you agree you are an ambassador to the sport/game?
Well – this is where my friends would yell at me for being to humble: honestly, I see myself just as any other person trying their best to make their passions the best they can be for themself and others. But at the same time, I’m realistic about what my position has come to be…I understand that I now sit in a spot in this activity where a lot of people pay attention to what I do – so there is a part of me that takes advantage of the stage I have found myself on…and I try my best to project the best messages to other about the sport, and about life in general.
At some point in the future – like all things in life ¬– whatever I am in this sport will all come to an end. So I figure if I can help change people who look up to me for the better, while I am what I am to them…then I guess yes, I see myself as an ambassador.
Is it a sport or game, does that matter?
To be honest – I don’t really even care generally to argue between the two. A lot of people get so caught up in arguing minute points like this, and they forget to actually go out and play the game instead of being an armchair general all the time.
If we look at it across a broad spectrum: airsoft is just a game ¬– but so is football. Football, much like airsoft, becomes a sport when you put more into it than just getting some of your friends together for a casual game of pickup over beers in the park. If you train hard, dedicate your time to both learning and progressing skills in the activity, and participate on a national level to some degree – airsoft is just as much a sport as any classically defined one. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Israel Today reports:
As if Israel’s position in the world in not bad enough, a new survey published in the US Wednesday says that Israel is suffering from the worst public image among all countries of the world.
The study, called the National Brands Index, conducted by government advisor Simon Anholt and powered by global market intelligence solutions provider GMI (Global Market Insite, Inc.), shows that Israel is at the bottom of the list by a considerable margin in the public’s perception of its image.
The Index surveyed 25,903 online consumers across 35 countries about their perceptions of those countries across six areas of national competence: Investment and Immigration, Exports, Culture and Heritage, People, Governance and Tourism. The NBI is the first analytical ranking of the world's nation brands.
"Israel's brand is by a considerable margin the most negative we have ever measured in the NBI, and comes at the bottom of the ranking on almost every question," states report author Simon Anholt.
Anholt believes that the politics of a nation can affect every single aspect of a person's perception about a country. In the light of the recent announcement that the Israeli Foreign Ministry has taken upon itself to re-brand Israel, Anholt comments that to succeed in permanently changing the country's image, the country has to be prepared to change its behavior. He reiterates his strong belief that a reputation cannot be constructed: it has to be earned.
"If Israel's intention is to promote itself as a desirable place to live and invest in, the challenge appears to be a steep one," Anholt concluded.
The survey also indicated that Israel came last in each area by a long margin, including the fact that of the 36 countries ranked, there is nowhere that respondents would like to visit less than Israel. Worse yet, the survey indicates that Israel’s people were also voted the most unwelcoming in the world.
And there was one more unpleasant surprise: Whoever thought that the United States is Israel’s best friend and Israel is loved in the US, the index indicated that Americans ranked Israel just slightly above China in terms of its conduct in the areas of international peace and security.
The 35 countries polled for the study were: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK, and the USA. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Main Reasons why Gorillas are Poached
Main Reasons why Gorillas are Poached: Hunting of the gorillas is one of the biggest threats to their existence and this is why they are endangered species.
There about 900 mountain gorillas left in the world and this number is shared between Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC. There has been a lot of awareness to save the gorillas but poaching is one of the biggest hindrances.
Gorillas in all the three countries have been put under maximum government supervision in a bid to save them from extinction. However despite all these efforts, the is still illegal hunting.
There are several reasons why people poach and kill the gorillas and here are some of them.
To sell their meat.
There has been a lot of wildlife trade in West and central Africa for bush meat to Europe. Most people do kill the animals like gorillas to earn revenue due to absolute poverty in the area.
The government has however tried to give back a percentage of proceeds from tourism to the locals to encourage them conserve these gorillas.
While African villagers can consume gorillas meat, sending it to other countries like the United States is a more lucrative option. Obviously, this is also illegal, but in some bizarre circles, the consumption of such meat can mean status.
For Private collections or as “trophies”.
Most people keep the dead gorillas as trophies to show off their wealth or power. There is no scientific reason or educational but people just want them for pride.
There are people who capture the gorillas and keep them in private zoos as pets. The gorillas eventually die due to the difference in the conditions.
To sell parts of their bodies.
Other people hunt the gorillas to keep their body parts or use them as medicine as local witch doctors give it as a remedy for magic. The effectiveness has not been scientifically proven though.
The toll of poaching on all species and subspecies is very high. For example, killing mountain gorillas and Cross River gorillas is brutal, because their populations are small, their birth rate is low, and the area where they live is extremely limited. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In the high-stakes world of football, strategy reigns supreme. Real Madrid, one of the most celebrated clubs in the world, recently executed a website migration – a maneuver crucial for digital success. However, the execution exposed a series of SEO fouls, leading to a potential own goal in the form of lost organic visibility and traffic.
This case study delves into the SEO challenges Real Madrid faced post-migration, analyzes the key mistakes, and offers insights to help businesses of all sizes navigate website migrations without compromising their online presence.
The SEO Fouls:
- Haphazard Hreflang Handling: Real Madrid’s website, despite catering to a global audience, appears to have mismanaged its hreflang tags. This crucial element, which signals preferred language versions to search engines, is displaying US results in Australia, creating confusion and hindering user experience.
- Backlink Breakdown: Backlinks, the lifeblood of website authority, seem to have been disrupted during the migration. This disconnect can lead to a significant drop in organic traffic and engagement, impacting both brand awareness and potential revenue.
- Redirect Red Card: A poorly implemented redirect strategy, neglecting valuable pages, leaves users and search engines lost in a digital labyrinth. This not only frustrates users but also hinders search engine crawlability, potentially impacting search ranking.
- Internal Redirect Maze: An excessive number of internal redirects, while seemingly a quick fix, can significantly slow down website performance. This sluggish experience can negatively impact user engagement and search engine ranking, hampering website goals.
- Navigation Nightmares: Broken links within the main navigation act as roadblocks for both users and search engines. This not only hinders user experience but also signals a lack of website maintenance, potentially impacting search engine trust.
These SEO missteps have resulted in a significant drop in organic visibility for Real Madrid, potentially affecting traffic by over 250,000 keywords. This translates to lost leads, decreased brand awareness, and ultimately, a potential financial impact.
Real Madrid’s experience serves as a cautionary tale for businesses of all sizes. Website migrations, while necessary, require careful planning and meticulous execution to avoid SEO pitfalls. Here are some key takeaways to ensure a smooth and successful migration:
- Conduct a thorough SEO audit before and after the migration to identify and address potential issues.
- Implement hreflang tags correctly to ensure search engines understand your website’s global reach.
- Prioritize backlink preservation during the migration process to maintain website authority.
- Develop a comprehensive redirect strategy that accounts for all valuable pages and user experience.
- Optimize internal linking structure to avoid excessive redirects and ensure smooth navigation for users and search engines.
- Regularly test website functionality to identify and fix broken links, ensuring a seamless user experience.
By learning from Real Madrid’s mistakes and implementing these best practices, businesses can navigate website migrations with confidence, ensuring a smooth transition and continued online success.
Real Madrid’s website migration serves as a valuable learning experience for the digital world. While the club may have conceded an own goal in the SEO game, it’s not too late to turn the tide. By implementing the insights provided, businesses can avoid similar pitfalls and ensure their own website migrations are a winning play. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
‘This Was an Abomination’: Former AG Barr Predicts Trump Conviction Will Be Overruled
The nation’s former top prosecutor is weighing in on the landmark Trump conviction, predicting the trial’s verdict will be overruled on appeal. Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr explained in an interview this week that he “wasn’t particularly surprised” that former President Donald Trump, under whom Barr served, was convicted last week in a Manhattan trial.
“I said from the very start that this was an abomination, and I actually was surprised that they went ahead with the case, because there really was nothing there,” Barr added. “There was no crime there and they never were able to really articulate it until after the defense rested its case, so I thought the whole thing was a travesty.”
“I wasn’t surprised by the verdict because the way the case was conducted, there was never really any discipline on trying to make the prosecutor establish what the elements of the crime were and what evidence he had to do it,” Barr explained. “It was just assumed from the beginning that there was some kind of Federal Election Campaign violation, which there wasn’t.”
“I think this is ‘Exhibit Number One’ of the dual system of justice that is becoming more and more evident,” the former AG noted, referring to the political motivations behind the Trump prosecution. “What does this do to our body politic? What does this do to our country?” he asked. Barr also predicted, “This case is going to be overruled because there are just multiple errors and violations of constitutional rights. … This will eventually be overruled after the election.” He continued, “But what happens if there’s a close election and Biden squeaks through and then the case is overruled? Half the country is going to feel that this was a stolen election. And again, this is a grave injustice and disservice to the country.”
Barr also called on Manhattan judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the Trump trial, to lift the gag order he imposed on Trump. “The whole purpose of the gag order was to protect the integrity of the process, to make sure that the trial was not disrupted by what was said,” Barr explained. “The trial is now over. The verdict’s been delivered. Now everyone out there is talking about it … and the President, like anybody else, has a right to defend himself in the court of public opinion, especially when he’s running for the presidency of the United States.”
“He has to be able to attack the charges, to assert that the witnesses against him weren’t telling the truth, and [to] point out all of the flaws in the case and some of the rulings by the judge, which are inexplicable,” Barr stated. Regarding Trump’s sentencing, which is scheduled for July 11, Barr said, “I hope that [Merchan] doesn’t do what they usually do, what the Left usually does, which is to go too far and either deny [Trump] his freedom or impose a severe gag order on him.” He added, “I think that would sort of affect people’s attitude toward the ultimate fairness of this election.”
Over the past months, Barr has become an increasingly vocal supporter of the embattled former president, despite having criticized him in the past. Earlier this year, Barr reluctantly endorsed Trump, warning that voting for incumbent President Joe Biden is “national suicide.” The former AG doubled down on this position in April, admitting that he isn’t happy about a second Trump-Biden matchup but that he believes Trump to be the better choice for America. “I think getting control over the border, stopping the lawlessness in our cities, building up the strength of the United States in an ever-more-dangerous world … these are critical things that have to be done,” Barr stated. “And we’ll get them done under a Trump administration.”
Barr explained at the time that his past criticisms of Trump were never policy-related but were instead criticisms of Trump’s behavior, particularly the former president’s insistence that the 2020 election was rigged. Now, Barr himself is alleging that the continuing lawfare campaign against Trump is a clear form of election interference.

Longtime Saturday Night Live boss John Mulaney returned to Studio 8H last night to host the show just days before the US presidential election. Not surprisingly, most of the talk following the episode revolved around a surprise appearance by Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as a fun appearance from Hillary Clinton’s former running mate, Sen. Kim Kaine. However, aside from those risqué political bits, the episode also included a lot of traditional SNL stuff that I couldn’t get enough of including a musical about bus stop milk that featured Pete Davidson and my personal favorite, a pair of new characters inspired by unconventional relationships Between Lana Del Rey and Bella Hadid.
If you don’t follow celebrity romances, let me give you the quick highlights here. Successful model Bella Hadid is dating Adnan Banuelos, a self-described cowboy who shows and trains horses. Her sister Gigi, who is also a model, has been rumored to be in relationships with celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper and Zayn Malik, but Bella went in a completely different direction and recently bought land in Texas to be closer to her partner. . Likewise, popular singer Lana Del Rey recently married a swamp tour guide named Jeremy Dufresne. He does airboat tours in Louisiana, and once took actor Glen Powell for a spin, which made enough of an impression that the Top Gun: Maverick star posted on Instagram about it.
Both couples seem very happy, but they also tend to elicit double confusion from people when they first hear about the relationship, which is a larger phenomenon that extends beyond the famous. I’m sure you personally know at least one couple that doesn’t seem like they belong together at all on paper. That’s what Saturday Night Live built on last night with two new characters, a poet and Barnard College student who specializes in cemeteries and a rowdy Soul Cycle instructor who loves music. The two are played by Marcelo Hernandez and Jane Wicklin, and both are really committed to the characters. You can watch the chaos below…
The Couple You Can’t Believe Are Together – SNL – YouTube Watch On
One of the keys to Saturday Night Live’s longevity is that it’s a big tent comedy. There is no single style of humor. Last night saw a lot of political jokes, obviously given what’s going on in the world. It also featured that absolutely crazy John Mulaney musical, as well as some stuff like that that’s always relatable. Bella Hadid and Lana Del Rey’s current partners may be unique for 2024, but since the dawn of time, people have been getting together and seemingly not having any business together on paper. There is no accounting for personal attraction.
I love him. There are many couples in the world who seem destined to be together. This is the game for some people, but I take my hat off to anyone who is willing to step completely out of their comfort zone and take risks to make a relationship work with someone who lives a completely different life. These are the things that make the world interesting.
As for Saturday Night Live, it is, of course, in its historic 50th season. The show previously announced that it would be bringing back plenty of former cast members and famous faces for random appearances, all of which will culminate in a fun special in February. The show will return with a new episode next week hosted by comedian Bill Burr. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A cruel fraudster who stole and frittered away an elderly and vulnerable woman’s life savings has been jailed.
Martin Sibcy, aged 54, had been entrusted with the 80-year-old’s personal finances but abused that trust for his own personal gain.
His offending, which included making luxury purchases like a motorcycle, was discovered when the victim’s savings had been so depleted that direct debits paying for her residential care failed.
Detective Constable Dan Weaver, a specialist fraud investigator with Nottinghamshire Police’s economic and cyber crime unit, said: “This was a despicable crime in which Sibcy took advantage of a very vulnerable person and stole a significant amount of money.
“He completely emptied her bank account, which meant she was unable to pay her care fees.
“He did so for his own personal gain, including treating himself to luxury items.”
Sibcy, of Wood Street, Newark, was jailed for 15 months at Nottingham Crown Court on July 13, 2022 after admitting theft.
He made purchases totalling more than £3,000 from shops and to pay for mobile phone bills, car insurance and broadband over the course of nine months.
During the same period, from December 2019 to September 2020, Sibcy made 66 cash withdrawals totalling more than £15,000.
Most of the cash was withdrawn close to his home, but in August 2020 he used the bank card in Skegness, Lincolnshire, having travelled there on a day trip using a motorcycle he had bought and insured with the victim’s money.
During police interviews, Sibcy claimed to have only borrowed the money but the victim was unaware and had not got given her permission.
There was also no evidence he had repaid any of the money and he had kept no records to show how much he had taken.
Sibcy claimed the bank card he used must have been cloned, but investigations proved this was not the case and he was the only person with access to it.
The total amount stolen was £18,403.60 and Nottinghamshire Police will now look to use the Proceeds of Crime Act to recover funds to compensate the victim.
DC Weaver added: “I hope this conviction and sentence sends a message to deter others who may commit such offences in the belief they can escape justice.”
“It shows Nottinghamshire Police takes reports of fraud and financial abuse by people who hold a position of trust extremely seriously.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Big Picture
The new legislation offers construction a sustained capital infusion over the next five to seven years that will provide longer-term opportunities for growth, while helping to shore up America’s aging infrastructure.
But to capitalize on the windfall, the industry must find ways to offset a shrinking labor pool. Contractors must find innovative ways to attract talent – whether through vocational partnerships, in-house training, higher wages or other incentives. And amid increasing pressure to offset climate change, the industry will need to moderate its own practices and move toward lessening its impact on the environment.
In the Short Term
Every $1 billion of infrastructure investment requires 3,000 construction workers. That’s a tall order for an industry already facing a prolonged labor shortage that the pandemic has worsened. There were 344,000 open U.S. construction jobs in August 2021 – 38 percent more than the five-year average of 249,000 monthly openings.
The labor shortage could be further exacerbated by federal government vaccine mandates as construction worker vaccine rates continue to remain low; only slightly more than half of construction workers have their shots, compared to about 80 percent in occupations overall, data from the Construction Center for Research and Training shows. Meanwhile, supply chains and materials prices remain volatile, with steel, copper and fabricated metals all currently inflated. Pricing volatility makes it difficult to bid on jobs.
- Will the Biden administration lay out clear incentives that encourage the building industry to work toward carbon neutral operations?
- Will the promise of new opportunity around infrastructure promote a wave of technological innovation in an industry slow to adapt but faced with ongoing labor challenges?
- As funding allocated to the states (representing $433 billion) does not cover necessary funds for all infrastructure gaps, how will states prioritize projects to be funded and communities served by these projects?
- How will the infrastructure package be funded? Will it lead to higher tax rates on wealthy individuals? What alternative funding sources may be tapped?

On Opening Day, if anyone was expected to be named to the All Star Game, most fans would have guessed Frankie Montas would have gotten that nod.
He has done nothing to change that thought. Montas has posted a solid 3.20 ERA and a 0.990 WHiP in his league leading 64.1 innings, striking out 71 batters with 15 walks. The A’s are leaning on him to be their staff ace and he has delivered thus far.
The biggest question is whether or not Montas will still be a member of the A’s come the All Star Break. He has been a frequent subject of trade rumors since the A’s announced that they would be looking to slash their payroll, a solid middle of the rotation arm who has displayed the potential to be even more. As he is under team control through 2023, Montas is even more desirable for a contender.
If anything, Montas may have increased his trade value. He is becoming a modern day workhorse, taking the ball every fifth day and sparing the bullpen. The Mets have already shown interest in his services and other teams will as well.
Frankie Montas may well be the Oakland A’s representative for the All Star Game. Whether or not he is with the team at that time is the question. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The rise of the crypto economy brings promises and perils to the venture capital industry. Distributed ledger technologies offer new investment opportunities to venture capitalists (VCs). Traditional VCs are gradually diversifying their portfolios to invest in crypto-assets and blockchain technology projects, as well as launching crypto-centric funds. Simultaneously, venture capital funds are developing various hybrid financing models to adopt and imitate the fundraising mechanism of initial coin offerings. However, the polymorphous and evolving features of crypto-assets also introduce new risks to the venture capital market.
As the cryptocurrency market grew globally with rampant speculation about its value, without a clear applicable regulation, and for that reason, without entry barriers, the tokenized blockchain projects and their ICO/IDO/IEO's became the incredibly quickest and simplest instrument to obtain exorbitant funds and profits.
With projects being funded with just white papers and pitch decks, some of the entrepreneurs/founders have found ways to raise exorbitant funds on their towering ideas. Though web3.0 investments have given returns in the multifold to its investors, it also bought heavy losses to many investors retail and institutional as well. On this note, we would like to highlight the limitations of the current funding mechanism of web3.0 startups versus a much more stable and established web2.0 startups.
SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens) becoming Non Enforceable
A SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens) is the common instrument executed between investors and founders in agreement of purchase of tokens at discounted price before the public sale/IEO/IDO, most commonly with a vesting period. With most projects being funded by multiple VC's or Minor Crypto Hedge funds with diversified stakes, may not be in the position to practically enforce the SAFT in case of any defaults by the founders due to high costs involved in approaching courts or for an International Arbitration. Further, SAFT is for mere purchase of the tokens, legally the founders can always claim the option of limited liability in case the SAFT is executed by limited liability corporation.
Early Stage Influx of Capital
Typically in equity model of funding the number of shares are limited at the beginning and the shares are issued at premium at every round of funding subject to the growth of the project or product with no limitations to the maximum shares to be issued. Where as in tokenized model of funding the no of tokens are restricted a finite supply and the tokens are sold to Investors at a discount at the very beginning of the project with focus being only on idea of capital appreciation of the token and staking rewards if any. With this a tokenized blockchain project raises the whole funds necessary for development and marketing including liquidity at the initial stages of the project, sometimes even without detailed budgeting.
An Estimated 80% of the founders of the blockchain projects are first time founders with no experience in running an organisation with 50% of them coming straight out of colleges or even dropouts. In Web2.0 funding model the founders inexperience is compensated by the regular oversight by Investors and Auditors who seek constant reporting on the performance of the project or product. Such an oversight is completely amiss the web3.0 community, which coupled with founder's inexperience can lead to project failures and loss of investors money.
Concentration on Token Price
As most of the Investor's money is focused on capital appreciation of the token's which are immediately tradable in open market. The focus of founders or project tend to solely deviate to the elevation of the token price rather its development or adoption and actual use cases. Even Investors sometimes tend to ignore the development of the actual project in view of the elevation in price of token, which in most cases is due to market making impact of the Founders. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What is Programmatic SEO?
Programmatic SEO is an advanced approach to SEO that involves using automation to create web pages, particularly for large websites.

This strategy is especially beneficial for businesses with many products or services like Roofing companies offering various services across various locations.
Why is Programmatic SEO Important for Roofers?
The roofing industry in Stonybrook, Pennsylvania is highly competitive. It takes time to build a solid reputation and gain customer trust due to safety concerns and the long-term nature of roofing projects. But due to the nature of the business, Roofing services are often required due to emergencies or weather-related damage, which can create opportunities for immediate customer acquisition. To stand out from the crowd, roofers need to ensure their services are easily discoverable by potential customers, and this is where Programmatic SEO comes into play.

Higher rankings lead to increased visibility, which can significantly boost lead generation and sales. Moreover, Programmatic SEO allows roofers to provide more relevant and personalized content to their audience, further enhancing user experience and improving their website’s performance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I enjoy all of my newborn sessions, but this one was particularly special for me because its the baby of two of my dear friends. Jenny, Pat, and I went to high school together. Jenny and I were inseparable. And she and Pat were inseparable. They have been together ever since and are some of the most caring, loyal, and decent people that I know. I was over-the-moon excited for them when their daughter, Josie, came along. She is a perfect blend of the two of them, and yet still a complete individual who has brought them so much richness, chaos and joy over the years. And now baby Leo has arrived! He is as perfect as they come and sure to be well-loved and taken care of with big sister Josie around. I couldn’t have been more excited to meet and photograph this little nugget and I can’t wait to watch him grow up. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Evolution Of Online Casino Gaming: How It’s Changed Over The Years
As you sit down and enjoy some online casino gaming, it can be easy to take for granted just how far the industry has come.
The idea of playing real money casino games online seemed futuristic not too long ago. But, tech advancements and regulatory changes have rapidly transformed the online casino industry.
Online casinos today have surpassed what was imaginable a decade ago in terms of games, software, payment methods, and devices. If you’ve been playing for a while, you’ve likely seen this evolution firsthand. But even for newcomers, it’s worth appreciating how online casino gaming got to where it is now. Today, we'll explore the key milestones that have shaped the online casino industry.
The Early Days of Online Casinos: From Basic Games to Flashier Graphics
Online casinos began in the mid-1990s offering basic casino games with simple graphics. As technology improved, so did the quality and variety of online casino games.
Improved Graphics And Sound
In the late 1990s, online casinos revolutionized their gaming experience. They started adopting vibrant graphics, immersive 3D visuals, and captivating sound effects.
More Games Added
The selection of games expanded rapidly from the original slots, blackjack, and roulette. Poker, baccarat, craps, and many other card and table games were added. Arcade and casual games also became available at top online casinos like SG88WIN.
In the 2010s, online casinos started catering to mobile devices. This time, they started introducing exclusive bonuses to encourage mobile gaming.
Live Dealer Casino Games
The latest evolution to online casino gaming is the addition of live dealer casino games. Players can experience the thrill of a real casino from their devices. Using streaming technology, real dealers operate tables in a studio or casino setting. Players place bets and make game decisions in real time, just like being at a physical table.
The Rise Of Mobile Casino Gaming: Playing On The Go With Apps And Mobile Sites
The rise of mobile casino gaming has allowed players to enjoy their favorite casino games whenever and wherever they want. Now, you can enjoy playing casino games online without being limited to a desktop computer. All thanks to the rise of casino gaming apps and mobile-optimized websites like SG88WIN. You can play directly on your smartphone or tablet, whether you're on the bus, waiting in line at the store, or relaxing on the couch at home.
Mobile casino gaming took off with the proliferation of smartphones in the late 2000s and early 2010s. As technology advanced, mobile devices became more powerful. Plus, mobile data became faster and more accessible, too. In response, online casinos like SG88WIN started optimizing their websites for mobile devices. They even launched dedicated apps for a seamless and convenient gaming experience. These mobile platforms offer the same real-money casino games as their desktop counterparts.
Live Dealer Games Take Online Casinos To The Next Level
One of the most significant developments in the industry has been the introduction of live dealer casino games. Instead of playing against a random number generator, you can now play with a real human dealer via a live video stream.
These live dealer games also allow you to experience the atmosphere and excitement of a real casino from the comfort of your own home. With the best online casino Singapore like SG88WIN, you can chat with the dealer and other players and play at your own pace. You can even enjoy watching the dealer shuffle and deal real cards.
Furthermore, the live video stream is broadcast from a dedicated live casino studio. Online casino dealers meet the same professional standards as those in traditional casinos. Strict licensing and regulatory practices also apply to ensure fair play and player security. Besides, high-quality cameras capture the action from multiple angles. So, you can zoom in and see the cards being dealt and the roulette wheel being spun.
As you've seen, online casino gaming has evolved tremendously over the years. Online casinos like SG88WIN are evolving to offer more immersive gaming experiences. They are also adapting to meet the demands of players and keep up with the latest technologies. The next time you log in to play, who knows what exciting new features might be waiting for you at SG88WIN. Expect great changes in the future as the online casino industry continues to grow. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Genealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families and the tracing of their lineages and history. Genealogists use oral traditions, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to demonstrate kinship and pedigrees of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as narratives.
The pursuit of family history tends to be shaped by several motivations, including the desire to carve out a place for one’s family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to perserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling.

Canadian National Resumes Operations After Train Stoppage
Earlier on Wednesday morning, Mid-Michigan residents were notified about a train stoppage from the Capital Area Ingham County Alert System.
ROAD BLOCKED: A couple of trains are stopped blocking crossings for undetermined amount of time. Crossings blocked are Hagadorn/Service in East Lansing, and Marsh/Haslett in Meridian Twp
The Canadian National Police and the Michigan State University Police were notified about a nationwide train stoppage. According to WILX, Terri Thornberry, who is the director of the Ingham County 911 Communications Center said:
“We just got the information and we passed it on."
At about 1:30 PM, the system notified residents that trains had resumed their normal travels.
Canadian National spokesman, Jonathan Abecassis, said that service's on the railroad services was paused in the U.S. due to a suspicious package in the CN's facility in Homewood, Illinois.
The package was later to be found harmless, but the incident still remains under investigation, according to Abecassis.
“The network has resumed normal operations at this point,” Abecassis announced. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mama to five (four energetic, active boys, and a wildly independent two year old girl). Very imperfect and very much addicted to cold brew coffee. I love exploring new places, traveling, hiking, and treasure hunting around thrift and antique stores. I am inspired by new places, old stories, the wind and weather, textures and fabrics, dance, movement and music, and each person’s unique story- trials and triumphs and determination.
I specialize in family lifestyle photography with an emphasis on authenticity and connection. I am very used to little ones, controlled chaos, and family life! I get an insane amount of joy from chasing your crew around in the setting sun and documenting this season of your life exactly as it is NOW, because tomorrow is never promised.
As my client, I can promise you that I will give you my whole heart. I pour myself into my clients’ stories and personalities. Just as no two families are alike, no two sessions are alike either, and I am always striving to capture the true, wild and unique SOUL of your family. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Display Git Status is a pretty simple plugin, all it needs is access to the shell_exec
function and to be pointed at a git repository.
The plugin will not perform any state altering operations, it accesses the repository using read only methods to fetch information like branch name, last commit and status.
When the git repository is located (defaulting to wp-content
, or overwritten via a setting) the plugin will add a new admin bar item with the git icon and the current branch name.
When your site has untracked changes the menu items background will turn red.
This is ideal as it gives you a small marker directly in the admin area that some changes have been made which you probably need to look into.
Additionally when accessing the plugins admin page you can see the result of the git status
command, and the last commit applied to your site.
What repositories can it track?
The plugin can read from any git repository, it performs on basic git commands.
All you need to do is ensure your web user can access the git repository, and that theshell_exec
function is enabled.Additionally it doesnt have to the root or wp-content folder. The plugin can read and display information for any repository it has access to on the filesystem.
Does it commit changes?
No this plugin only reads your git repositories status. There are no plans to make this anything more.
What permissions are required?
Anyone with the
permissions can see/edit the git status admin page.

In this paper, a numerical study on free convection flow and heat transfer of Casson nanofluids over a vertical plate under the influence of thermal radiation is carried out. The governing systems of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations of the flow and heat transfer processes are converted to a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations through suitable similarity variables. The obtained ordinary differential equations are solved using finite difference method. The results of the numerical solutions are compared with the results of past works as presented in literature and good agreement was established. Also, the effects of thermal radiation; Prandtl number, nanoparticles volume-fraction, shape and type on the flow and heat transfer behaviour of various nanofluids over the flat plate are investigated. The results show that the magnitude of velocity near the plate for the Casson nanofluid parameter decreases for increasing value of the Casson parameter, while temperature increases for increase in Casson fluid parameter. Also, the thermal radiation and volume-fraction of the nanoparticles in the base fluid increase, the velocity, temperature, viscous and thermal boundary layers of the nanofluid increase. However, the velocity of the nanofluid decreases as the Prandtl number increases while the temperature of the nanofluid increases as the Prandtl number increases. The velocity of the nanofluid decreases as the volume-fraction or concentration of the nanoparticle in the base fluid increases. The study can benefit the design engineers enhancing their understanding of the phenomenon for various industrial and engineering applications.

“You can’t do that in Revit” is a common catch-phrase for those who do not know the program well. Happily, there are people out there who do know how to do those things in Revit – you just have to find those people and take the time to learn from them. One such person is Paul F Aubin.
He is the author of many Revit-related books, but the most recently published edition focuses on using Revit to make and present Classical and Renaissance building forms and architecture. What I like about this particular work is that it does not just cover simple “how-to” steps for certain tasks. It has a larger and more interesting scope.
Combining elements of history, architectural theory, good Revit practices, and of course, the “how-to” bit as well, Renaissance Revit is well worth a read.
It is hard to put it better than Andy Milburn in the Forward:
“The fact that you are reading this foreword suggests that you too are excited by what Revit can do. Take my advice. Grasp the nettle. Don’t look back.“
(yes, I did have to look up what “grasp the nettle” meant 🙂
The book delves into proper use of the two key Revit family environments: the traditional Family Editor, and the Massing Environment. While it may initially seem that the content of this edition is for advanced users only, in actual fact Paul has provided appropriately basic parts to help beginner Revit users, and at the same time even highly experienced users will have the occasional moment where they say “ah, that’s much better than the way I currently do that…”
It is packed with detailed diagrams, images, formulas and workflows. Here is just one example:
Datasets of lessons are included, with additional progress files provided at logical points through the lesson. You will be able to download “completed” versions of those families by registering at paulaubin.com. Also of note – Aaron Maller is the technical editor, and I’m sure most of you are aware of his excellent Revit reputation.
Discounted pricing available at:
Renaissance Revit: Creating Classical Architecture with Modern Software | Paul F. Aubin
(You can choose between a Black and White or a Full Colour version)
You can also read Paul’s post:
Renaissance Revit Now Available | Paul F. Aubin
Lastly, consider this brief list as a “teaser” of the real scope and value of what is included in this book:
“we will look at practical examples of how to approach many common Revit challenges, such as:
- Strategies to planning and building reusable family content
- How to control scale and proportion reliably
- How to parametrically control curves like arcs, ellipses and compound curves
- Strategies for working with appropriate levels of detail
- Approaches to effectively managing repetitive elements
- Building rules, relationships and design intent into your content
- Strategies to use two-dimensional geometry instead of 3D
Thank you, Paul Aubin, for bringing a new level of depth and class to the greater Revit bibliography. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Classic Short Stories - Volume 23 - Hear Literature Come Alive In An Hour With These Classic Short Story Collections
James Taylor, Jake Urry
Publisher: The Copyright Group
Stories are one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements. Whether written down or spoken they have an ability to capture our imagination and thoughts, and take us on incredible journeys in the space of a phrase and the turn of a page.
Within a few words of text or speech, new worlds and characters form, propelling a narrative to a conclusion with intricate ease. Finely crafted, perfectly formed these Miniature Masterpieces, at first thought, seem remarkably easy to conjure up. But ask any writer and they will tell you that distilling the essence of narrative and characters into a short story is one of the hardest acts of their literary craft. Many attempt, but few achieve. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

My passion lies within oil painting realism, an area which I am mostly self taught in. I am currently studying in Meanjin/Brisbane, yet spent a decade growing up on the Sunshine Coast after moving from Aotearoa/New Zealand at nine years old. My time is mostly dedicated towards my very senile yet very sweet dog spikey; however, when I have a moment to myself, I enjoy capturing the vulnerability and intensity of a person within a portrait. I believe portraiture to be a powerful way of communication within art.

Definition of Sales Taxes
Sales taxes are likely state and local taxes collected by the sellers of specified goods and the providers of specified services. The sales taxes are paid by the ultimate consumer (as opposed to a company that will resell the goods) and is typically a percentage of the selling prices. The seller must file a sales tax report and remit the sales taxes it had collected.
Basically, the company making the sale and collecting the sales taxes is an agent for the state and local government. Therefore, the sales taxes collected are not part of the seller’s sales or revenues. This means the amount of sales taxes that were collected by the retailer will not be reported on its income statement. Instead, the sales taxes collected are reported on the balance sheet as a current liability until they are remitted to the government.
Explanation of Sales Taxes
Assume that all of a retailer’s products are subject to a state sales tax of 6%. If the retailer sells goods having selling prices of $500, it will collect $530 [$500 + (6% of $500)]. This will be recorded as follows:
- Debit to Cash for $530
- Credit to Sales Revenues for $500
- Credit to Sales Taxes Payable for $30
Note that Sales Revenues did not include the $30 of sales taxes collected.
When the retailer remits the sales taxes to the government, the retailer will reduces its liability account Sales Taxes Payable with a debit entry for the amount remitted. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Midnight Sun Mining Director of Marketing and Communications Adrian OBrien joined Steve Darling from Proactive to to announce the successful closure of a $10 million financing round, surpassing their initial target of $3.3 million due to high demand. This financing round follows their recent partnership with First Quantum and underscores their commitment to advancing two major projects.
The first project centers on a significant copper oxide target, with the potential for near-term cash flow. Their partnership with First Quantum aims to leverage resources and expertise to advance this project efficiently. Additionally, Midnight Sun is collaborating with KoBold Metals on the Dumbwa project, targeting significant sulfide targets in the southeast region of their property.
KoBold Metals will fund approximately 10,000 meters of drilling within the next 4 to 6 weeks, focusing on two primary areas: Kazhiba in the northwest and Me Too in the southwest. These areas require extensive drilling, particularly Kazhiba, which necessitates around 150 shallow holes. The objective is to advance the oxide copper target with First Quantum's support and concentrate the material for further development.
Midnight Sun's success in securing significant financing and expanding partnerships underscores the quality of their projects in Zambia's highly prospective copper regions. With large deposits and favorable conditions, Midnight Sun is well-positioned to meet the growing global demand for copper, driving their projects forward with momentum and purpose.

To me the bigger question is if the CAS will make that assumption. One of the reasons I think the CAS won’t release the passing percentage is because if people see they passed 40% or less for exam 9, instead of 50% then people will be angry. The CAS always falls back on well people aren’t prepared.
If they go into the mindsight well everyone should be more prepared then I can see them likely not to pass as many people.
It is possible they go into the opposite perspective that our test was hard and that people haven’t taken it in a year in and half so they should pass more people (although they can say they are offering 9 again in a few months). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has shown its support for the decision made by Southern Governors to ban open grazing.
The National Patron of MACBAN, Senator Walid Jibrin, who addressed a press conference in Kaduna On Thursday, said the ban on open grazing is capable of addressing the farmers-herders crisis.
According to him, cattle rearing has been in Africa for over 100 years without any consideration to the free movement of cattle (open grazing) or any grazing reserve, Daily Trust reports.
He said open grazing was carried out at that time because there were few herders, farmers and cattle, especially in Nigeria, stressing that currently, the population had increased with modern technique of farming consuming land tremendously.
Jibrin, who is also the Sarkin Fulani Nasarawa, said, with the current concern on cattle rearing in Africa, especially Nigeria, there is a need to look at how best this practice will be carried out successfully. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
This story is heartbreaking and shows the dangers of authoritarian parenting [we are not pointing fingers]. There is a thin line between ‘Strict’ or ‘firm’ parenting and ‘authoritarian’ parenting, which we should be mindful about.
Authoritarian parenting is the main default in many African countries. Most safeguarding issues arise from this. How do we shift from our own upbringing experience and background to a more supportive parenting style without losing our parental authority or cultural values?
Excerpt from this article:
Experts believe her [Mrs Frankie] success reflects a modern anxiety among parents that can lead them to seek out radical and harmful solutions.
For parents who feel lost and desperate, particularly when it's dealing with problematic behavior, extreme techniques become appealing, particularly if they see results," parenting psychologist Dr Maryhan Baker told the BBC.”
A time may come when our kids push boundaries, tests our patience, challenge our personalities and values in life. Some kids may exhibit challenging behaviors and defiance. There are strategies to deal with this phase of parenting. Ask questions, seek help. You are not alone. 💜 | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Why Chair Cushions is a Must-Have for Traveling Athletes
For the longest time, countless athletes of all levels are subject to a physically and mentally demanding lifestyle that pushes their bodies to their limits to achieve optimal performance during matches. This enables them to play at the highest level and achieve their dreams of becoming the best at their sport. However, this lifestyle can also lead to pain and discomfort, usually leading to poor performance and injuries.
The highly demanding way of life is why investing in products that provide superior comfort and body support is paramount to modern athletes. This includes purchasing chair cushions designed to give people who sit for extended periods an invaluable tool that can improve comfortability. This is crucial for traveling athletes sitting in their team's buses and airplanes for hours to reach the match venue.
It might look like a simple investment for many, but having high-quality seat cushions can be a game changer for athletes looking to be at their best for a long time.
What are Chair Cushions?
People spend most of their day sitting, whether at work or home. And athletes, whether professional or amateur, are no exception to this. Athletes often sit in their locker rooms before matches to get ready and after games to cool down. They also often sit during coaches' meetings or on the bench, waiting to play. And there is also the part when athletes must travel far for away games or out-of-town tournaments.
Having the right cushion ensures they have the proper support for their body during these times. An AiR Performance Cushion is often designed to help disperse body pressure while sitting so athletes won't get tired from prolonged sitting. In addition, cushions can adequately support one's lumbar region, which is crucial for athletes' recovery after matches.
Advantages for Traveling Athletes
- Enhanced Comfort – Traveling for many miles can be pretty tiring, especially for those who need to go to other cities or states. Not having a chair cushion can lead to potential issues, including muscle stiffness, fatigue, reduced blood circulation, and lack of proper rest. With chair cushions in place, athletes can have excellent comfort while traveling as it can help relieve pressure from the seating surface, which allows for improved rest while on the road.
- Versatility and Portability – One of the remarkable benefits of chair cushions is that they can be used on any seating surface that athletes might use while traveling. They are usually made so athletes can carry them easily or put them in their backpacks or luggage.
- Mental Comfort – Apart from the physical demands of most sports, the mental aspect also plays a significant role in how athletes perform in their matches. Pre-game jitters, performance anxiety, and travel stress can lead to poor performance. Chair cushions can give athletes a sense of familiarity, helping them relax and focus on their upcoming matches.
- Support for Injured Athletes – It is no secret that most sports in the globe are highly physical, and this often leads to injuries. Chair cushions can help injured athletes recover by providing the needed support in the body, especially if the injury is in the spine or the lumbar region. This can also help ensure proper posture and help with injury recovery and prevention.
- Effective Post-Competition Recovery – After each demanding game, athletes need optimal rest to alleviate fatigue and muscle soreness. Chair cushions can help by giving athletes a comforting atmosphere to recuperate in the locker room or while traveling back to their houses or accommodations.
Apart from intense workout sessions, comfort while not in the game or training is also crucial in an athlete's life, especially on the road. Chair cushions can be a worthwhile investment as they provide the necessary support during prolonged trips, helping athletes effectively prepare for their matches. This can be beneficial in achieving peak performance despite various challenges athletes might encounter.
So, if you are an athlete looking for a high-quality chair cushion you can use for various purposes, AiR by nishikawa is for you. Our line of seat cushions is made with high-performance urethane that helps dissipate body pressure, perfect for long drives and flights. It is also made with a breathable mesh material that prevents moisture buildup while sitting. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

To better understand who we are, imagine that reality on Earth is made up of three layers: the blue sky, the clouds and the ground.
The ground is our physical reality where events unfold, and these are always external, objective happenings – meaning they’re the things we experience and the actions we take.
This could be anything from sitting in traffic on the way to work, going to dinner with friends, sitting in a meeting with a client, writing exams at school, starting a business, exploring a new city and so on – all the things that happen and make up our lives, filling the time within which we find ourselves existing.
In other words, it’s us living life and interacting with the world around us.
While we can control our actions and inputs as we participate in these events, it’s important to understand that we cannot control the outcome of these events, no matter how much we believe we can.
How things happen and unfold is dictated by a force greater than ourselves, something we have yet to fully comprehend or understand (and perhaps never will).
The second layer, the clouds, are our beliefs, thoughts and feelings that we experience continually throughout our lives and determine how we perceive the events that unfold around us.
The clouds is that voice in our head that narrates everything to us as we navigate through life, chattering away to itself incessantly.
Just like the events themselves, these beliefs, thoughts and emotions are objective – they are external to us – meaning they are not who we are.
Similar to how we know that we are not the car in which we drive, so too are we not the voice in our head.
Like clouds, these thoughts, feelings and sensations are temporary – they come and go with the wind that carries them, sometimes thick and grey, and sometimes wispy and light.
At times, they can even obscure the events that unfold on Earth but they do not dictate them. They attract them.
The third layer is the blue sky. The expansive and ever-present sky is who we truly are.
It is the essence that is always in the background, unaffected by the events that unfold on the ground and unaffected by the clouds that pass by, irrespective of how heavy and dark those clouds may be.
The sky is pure consciousness, that which exists simply by being and that is who we are too.
We are consciousness, we are the awareness that is aware of the clouds and of the events that unfold on Earth.
However, we spend most of our lives in the second layer – the clouds – believing that the incessant voice in our head is who we are. That the thoughts we think, are who we are. That the feelings we experience, are who we are. This then formulates our sense of self, perceiving ourselves to be intelligent, successful, weak, unworthy, creative or logical – whatever label we give ourselves based on how we think and feel about ourselves in relation to the events that unfold around us.
We latch onto whatever cloud that passes by, fully immersing ourselves in the story that it tells, instead of just letting it float away as the temporary entity it is.
We forget who we are because we get hypnotized by the cloud we live in.
Does the sky believe itself to be the clouds?
Do the clouds dictate whether the sky exists or not?
Do the clouds impact the colour of the sky?
Can the clouds exist without the sky?
No. The answer is always no.
Just like the clouds pass by as an external object to the sky, so do our thoughts and feelings.
And just like the clouds might sometimes create rain, so do our thoughts and feelings impact the experience we have with the events that unfold on Earth – not the events themselves, but rather the perception of them.
But neither the events nor the clouds are actually attached to who we are, they are objective things that occur in front of the background of who we are – consciousness.
We are the vast, ever-present blue sky that cannot be contained.
Questions to reflect on | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Georgia Tech offensive tackle Jahaziel Lee and safety Shaun Kagawa have both been ruled out for Saturday’s game against Virginia. Lee has an upper-body injury and Kagawa has a lower-body injury.
They are the only players on the Tech injury report. Lee, a first-year freshman, started three of the past four games, including the Yellow Jackets’ upset of then-No. 14 Virginia Tech last Saturday. Tech can play Andrew Marshall, who was held out of the game against the Hokies with a lower-body injury, in his place.
Kagawa has been a valuable special-teams player in his first three seasons for the Jackets and was named the special-teams player of the week after Tech’s win over Georgia Southern.
That Lee and Kagawa are the only players on the injury report is another affirmation that quarterback Justin Thomas, center Freddie Burden, A-back J.J. Green and offensive tackle Andrew Marshall, who missed the Virginia Tech game with injuries, are cleared to play. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Yesterday, I returned from Nova Scotia where I had a great time with family and friends. It was an excellent vacation with special highlights like an excursion to PEI, swimming and tubing, and a lot of fiddling.
The second day I was there, I was at a ceremony as one of three youth selected for an accomplished youth award in the region of Brookfield and Stewiacke. There I was interviewed by local reporter Lyle Carter and even got to play a few tunes! (Photo above: me with Lyle)
In Nova Scotia we have many kitchen parties and Caleighs. My cousin Megan and my uncle Bruce are both multi-instrumentalists so we had quite the hoedown on their deck! It is always fun to jam with such talented musicians. (Photo below)
Sadly, the trip to Nova Scotia had to end but I am pleased the summer has not concluded! The weekend of August 9&10 is Almonte’s puppet festival which I will be playing at. In a few weeks there is the Grand Masters Fiddle Camp and then the Pembroke Fiddle and Step Dance Competition. So, there is still more awesome fiddling to do this summer! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Alison Brie is no stranger to the stress of holiday shopping.
Like many, the actress relies heavily on gift guides throughout the busy season, but this year, she’s decided to become one herself. In Macy’s new holiday campaign, Brie stars as the Gift Guide, helping customers discover the perfect gifts from the department store’s wide variety of brands.
“I truly have spent my life doing holiday shopping at Macy’s,” Brie tells PEOPLE. “I grew up in South Pasadena, and there’s a huge Macy’s on Lake Street where I always remember doing my holiday shopping.”
“It tapped into some holiday nostalgia for me,” she added of the partnership. “I still love to do holiday shopping at Macy’s, so it just made a lot of sense and felt very authentic.”
In the campaign ad, the Community alum wears a festive red ensemble and, with the help of her mentee played by Matt Bush, guides the viewer through a curated assortment of holiday items, from gifts to party attire.
“Macy’s carries everything, so it’s nice to have a one-stop shop, rather than a niche gift guide,” Brie tells PEOPLE. “I can do shopping for the whole family at Macy’s, mom, dad, my sister, my little nephews, and have every type of option for them.”
Despite portraying a real-life gift guide, Brie admits she has yet to think about her own shopping list this year. “I’m going to be going through the Macy’s gift guide,” she says. “Again, this is why I love to shop at Macy’s. For a last-minute gift giver, it’s great because you go there on a mission, and you just go from department to department being like, ‘Check, check, check.’”
When it comes to her favorite gifting moments over the years, Brie recalls giving her family members photos of her 2017 wedding to Dave Franco.
“Nothing beats sentimental gifts that I’ve given to my family,” she says. “The year after Dave and I got married, we gave everyone framed photos from our wedding. It was really special because there were a bunch of pictures that people hadn’t seen, and then you give it to them in a beautiful frame and it’s something to put up in the house.”
Aside from leaning into sentimentality, Brie’s top gifting tip is to “always get a gift receipt.”
“It’s just nice to have a gift receipt because you go, ‘Oh, good. They get the thoughtfulness. I put the work in to try to think of something that they might like, and then they can quietly exchange it for something that they might like better, and I don’t even have to know,'” she explains.
This year, Brie’s holidays are going to look a little different. On Thanksgiving, she and her family are forgoing their traditional potluck to attend the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, where Brie is cutting the ribbon.
“I feel like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is like definition monoculture,” she says. “I can just picture the huge Snoopy balloon. It’s etched into my brain, as long as I can remember. So, I’m so excited to be doing that.”
Macy’s 2024 holiday campaign begins on Monday, Oct. 28, and will highlight different gifting moments, Black Friday deals and last-minute gifting throughout December. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Bahrain has freed prominent dissident Nabeel Rajab after spending two months in jail for insulting the authorities, for health reasons, official news agency Bahrain News Agency *BNA said.
King Hamad issued a royal decree granting Rajab, who was sentenced to six months, a special pardon, the agency reported late on Monday.
An appeals court in Bahrain in May upheld a six-month sentence imposed for a tweet published in September 2014 deemed insulting to the kingdom’s security establishment.
Rajab, one of the Arab world’s best-known democracy activists, was convicted of “publicly insulting two government bodies,” the attorney general’s office was quoting as saying at the time, referring to the defence and interior ministries.
Rajab has been a leading figure in democracy protests by the kingdom’s largely Shia Muslim opposition since the 2011 “Arab Spring” uprisings.
The kingdom denies it discriminates against Shias and says it has rolled out reforms and is monitoring for abuses by the security forces.
Rajab was freed in May 2014 after serving a two-year jail sentence for his role in the protests. Rajab was also sentenced to three months in jail in 2013 in a separate case over a tweet criticising the prime minister, the king’s uncle. The ruling was quashed, but only after Rajab had already served his sentence. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Are you currently in the search for home insulation contractors near me? If so, then you must know that there should be quite a few or many companies offering insulation services. However, it is very important to keep some factors to consider in mind before choosing the one you should be working with.
Home insulation is highly important for any residence. In fact, there are very few Florida homes that do not have insulation. For most homeowners, insulation is a feature that must be installed upon building a house. And when a structure is under-insulated, then immediate action must be taken. The two main benefits of getting your home insulated include increased comfort and decreased power bills. Florida homes get extremely hot during the summer and without proper insulation, it will get very uncomfortable to stay indoors. Therefore, homeowners would turn on the AC quite high. When the temperature indoors get too warm and there are air leakages all around due to lack of insulation, then the AC will have to work twice or thrice as much. This will eventually result in high energy bills. The AC may also become faulty over time - AC repairs and replacement will be an additional expense to the homeowner. When looking for home insulation contractors near me, you should consider the following factors:

Internet Marketing Services
A great website needs to make the best impression as soon as you load it up. This implies it needs to look extremely professional, contemporary, eye catching and crisp and must include high resolution images and an intuitive layout. At the same time, it ought to work in instantly communicating what your website is about, who it’s focused on and exactly what you’re selling if you’re a service. If somebody arrive on your page and they do not quickly understand exactly what it is that you’re selling/providing then they will likely leave within the minute. Then they have to know where to click, how to get the info they desire and exactly what to do next. Don’t be mistaken– a minute is really a fairly average amount of time for punters to invest in any website!
But nowadays, it’s inadequate for a web design to merely look the part. At the same time, it needs to be designed with SEO in mind so that Google can easily browse and index its pages and content. It also has to work on all manner of different screen sizes and devices. If your website doesn’t utilize a responsive design for mobile, if it doesn’t have touch-friendly controls, then you are going to get punished by Google and you’re going to lose visitors.
Your page has to pack rapidly, it needs to present info in the best manner and it has to be devoid of mistakes. This is all part and parcel of excellent web design and web development.

Are you sitting down for this one? Cause you better be...
Sophie takes care of her professor, forcing him to give her what she wants. In the meantime, Eleonore teaches Todd (Fiver) a lesson in obedience. She puts him in between her huge legs and applies the pressure. Then she lifts him high above the ground. Fortunately, Sophie comes back home, and the two girls decide to team up against small Fiver.

Recently introduced bipartisan legislation addresses the needs of elderly and terminally ill prisoners. S. 2471 − the “Granting Release and Compassion Effectively (GRACE) Act” − introduced Feb. 28 by Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), includes provisions to improve the Bureau of Prisons’ (BOP) approval process for compassionate release. “Too many people who are eligible for compassionate release die in prison because the decision takes too long,” Schatz said in a press release. “Our bill will create clear guidelines in the approval process so that we have more accountability in the system and the sick and elderly who qualify for compassionate release get it.” Compassionate release was first authorized under the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, but Lee said the system to implement the statute “has proved to be burdensome and underutilized.” Review of eligible inmates with serious medical conditions takes on average of 141 days to process, and 81 people have died since 2014 while waiting for their reviews to be completed. The elderly, which represent the fastest growing population in federal prisons, are expected to make up 28 percent of the total prison population by 2019. Provisions in S. 2471 include an expedited process for requesting sentence reduction for terminally ill prisoners, a reporting requirement for the BOP, and compassionate release training for BOP staff. The ABA supports government efforts to consider prisoner requests to reduce or modify their sentences based on extraordinary and compelling circumstances, provided the prisoner does not present a substantial danger to the community. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Reserve Bank of India announced on Monday it would carry out the first purchase of government securities worth Rs. 20,000 crores on 8 July.
It is a part of its G-Sec Acquisition Programme (G-SAP) to support a post-pandemic market, announced earlier this year.
On 4 June, the RBI Governor Shri Shaktikanta Das announced regarding the open market purchase of government securities worth Rs 1.2 lakh crores under this programme in this FY’s second quarter. The central bank issued a statement detailing it will conduct this upcoming purchase via multi-security auction using the multiple price method.
In related news, the RBI gold bond 2021 scheme is to be issued in 6 tranches, spanning May to September 2021.
RBI is all set to purchase 5 government securities of different maturities on 8 July.
Did you know?
In 2020, the apex bank of India issued various money market instruments like RBI floating rate bonds to support government expenditures better. |
Regarding upcoming activity under G-SAP 2.0, RBI specified the following details.
The RBI added that it reserves all rights for the following:
The financial body conducted a similar open market purchase worth Rs. 1 lakh crores in this FY’s first quarter under G-SAP 1.0.
Post economic retraction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, RBI had taken drastic measures to pull up commercial activity as soon as possible. This process saw aggressive rate cuts. The bank came out with this FY’s monetary policy on 4 June, aiming at more market regulatory measures.
It has previously announced the RBI gold bond 2021 scheme and several tranches to support a similar cause.
G-SAP 2.0 is also a part of the same monetary policy of RBI. This saw a continuation of an accommodative monetary policy seen in 2020, with an unchanged repo rate and extension of G-SAP.
It is primarily due to impending inflation prompted by the second wave of coronavirus. Amidst such circumstances, the Central bank sees an expansion of money supply as the only means to boost the economy.
15 April saw the first purchase worth Rs. 25,000 crores held under the G-SAP 1.0.
Shaktikanta Das added that these auctions had sparked interest in several market participants with 4.1 and 3.5 bid cover ratios in the previous 2 auctions.
With the latest G-SAP 2.0, the RBI aims to bring down the yields on long-term government securities. It ensures stable borrowing costs and enhances liquidity, which can together help our economy recover from the pandemic.
Successful bidders must ensure their securities are available in their SGL account by 12 pm, 9 July 2021.
The results of the upcoming purchase of 8 July will be declared on the same day itself.
RBI will probably conduct the next purchase worth Rs. 20,000 crores on 22 July 2021.
