Apostolic See, Prince of the Apostles, St. Peter
“When I began to appeal to the throne of the Apostolic See of Peter, the Prince of the Apostles, and to the whole sacred synod, which is obedient to Your Holiness, at once a crowd of soldiers surrounded me and barred my way when I wished to take refuge at the holy altar. …Therefore, I beseech Your Holiness not to permit these things to be treated with indifference …but to rise up first on behalf of the cause of our orthodox Faith, now destroyed by unlawful acts. …Further to issue an authoritative instruction …so that a like faith may everywhere be preached by the assembly of an united synod of fathers, both Eastern and Western. Thus the laws of the fathers may prevail and all that has been done amiss be rendered null and void. Bring healing to this ghastly wound. (Patriarch Flavian of Constantinople to Pope Leo, ). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

So, one of the reasons we have resurgent housing bubbles in world cities like New York, London, Hong Kong, and Toronto is because of foreigners who buy apartments and then leave them empty. Newsweek has a good article on ghost apartments, but I want to focus on this because it’s symptomatic of why we can’t fix almost anything:
In Singapore and Hong Kong, officials tried to slow the spread of absentee-owned luxury housing by limiting mortgages.
To encourage owners to occupy their units or sell, New York state legislation has been drafted to impose a progressive tax on vacant luxury apartments worth $5 million or more. The proposed levy would start at one-half of 1 percent and rise to 4 percent on values above $20 million.
People who can afford luxury apartments can afford that fee. Make it simple: Put in a residency requirement. Someone must live in the apartment six months a year. If they don’t, the tax rate is 50% of the ostensible value of the apartment. If that doesn’t work (and it might not, given how rich they are), well, then just make it illegal to own apartments that aren’t used and have the government seize the apartment and use it for social housing, or sell it. And if the next owner doesn’t use it, seize it again.
Lest you think this isn’t a serious problem, understand this: Every unused apartment raises the rent of every other apartment in the city and increases the cost of every other condo in the city. This is supply that is artificially off the market. Because people don’t live in these apartments, local businesses don’t have as many customers. Meanwhile, the high prices of luxury apartments for which there is no actual local demand drives up real-estate prices, which drives up taxation. Everyone pays more in taxes, rent, or mortgages to subsidize foreigners who aren’t even using the condos.
The same is true for houses.
Rich people who want to visit world cities can suck it up and pay for a hotel. There are plenty of hotels that cost thousands of dollars a day (tens of thousands aren’t uncommon, but ordinary people will never even see these listed), which are suitable for their “needs.”
The are many problems like this which are easy enough to fix by either extremely punitive taxation and fines or by just forbidding these destructive actions.

New book: Beyond Realism: Experimental and Unconventional Irish Drama since the Revival
Edited by Joan FitzPatrick Dean and José Lanters
When W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory set out in 1897 to create an Irish theatre, they expressed their openness to dramatic experimentation. However, the Abbey Theatre that was their legacy increasingly came to resist non-traditional dramaturgy. Ranging over a period of more than a century, the essays in Beyond Realism focus on theatre that has challenged what came to be perceived as the dominance of realism in Irish drama. The contributors demonstrate that, in the first half of the twentieth century, playwrights such as George Fitzmaurice, Sean O’Casey, and Jack B. Yeats produced unconventional theatre that challenged the norm of realism; they show that Irish dramatists since the 1980s, including Thomas Kilroy, Vincent Woods, and Patricia Burke Brogan further broadened the range of theatrical methods. The concluding essays on contemporary works that use multiple techniques, technology, and site-specific locations suggest that non-realistic, highly theatrical approaches are no longer the exception in Irish drama.

New Book: Joyce without Borders: Circulations, Sciences, Media, and Mortal Flesh
Edited by James Ramey and Norman Cheadle
This book addresses James Joyce’s borderlessness and the ways his work crosses or unsettles boundaries of all kinds. The essays in this volume position borderlessness as a major key to understanding Joycean poiesis, opening new doors and new engagements with his work.
Contributors begin by exploring the circulation of Joyce’s writing in Latin America via a transcontinental network of writers and translators, including José Lezama Lima, José Salas Subirat, Leopoldo Marechal, Eduardo Desnoës, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, and Augusto Monterroso. Essays then consider Joyce through the lens of the sciences, presenting theoretical interventions on posthumanist parasitology in Ulysses; on Giordano Bruno’s coincidence of opposites in Finnegans Wake; and on algorithmic agency in the Wake. Cutting-edge cognitive narratology is applied to the “Penelope” episode.
Next, the volume features innovative essays on Joyce in relation to early animated film and comics, engaging with animated film in the “Circe” episode, Joyce’s points of contact with George Herriman’s cartoon strip Krazy Kat, and structural affinities between open-world gaming and Finnegans Wake. The final essays focus on abiding human concerns, offering new research on Joyce’s creative use of “spicy books”; a Lacanian consideration of “The Dead” alongside Katherine Mansfield’s “The Stranger” and Haruki Murakami’s “Kino”; and a meditation on Joyce’s uncertainties about the boundary between life and death.
For Joyce, borders are problems—but ones that provided precious fodder for his art. And as this volume demonstrates, they encourage brilliant reflections on his work, from new scholars to leading luminaries in the field.
“An exemplary collection that productively unsettles the conventional borders and divisions of Joyce studies and makes serious interventions in such fields as transnational modernism, posthumanism, media studies, death writing, and more. This volume marks a major contribution to Joyce studies and will be invaluable to future scholars.”—Kiron Ward, University of St. Andrews
“A solid volume of ambitious and innovative scholarship that breaks down the geopolitical, philosophical, methodological, historical, disciplinary, and moral boundaries of traditional Joycean scholarship. It invites readers to consider unusual and compelling approaches by delving into transatlantic readerly relationships, parasitology, posthumanism, algorithmic writing, cartoons, comics, game theory, pornography, and more. A must read.”—Brian Price, coeditor of TransLatin Joyce: Global Transmissions in Ibero-American Literature

The actress-producer-director unexpectedly called her friend, The View co-host Ana Navarro, during a taping for the show’s The View: Behind the Table podcast on Friday. After Navarro answered the call, Longoria said, “Will you please let them know I didn’t move out of Spain because of [Donald] Trump.”
Navarro proceeded to note that her friend “had moved before Trump” got re-elected in the 2024 election earlier this month.
“I’ve been in Europe working for almost three years,” Longoria explained. “By the way, the [Marie Claire] article says that. People just grabbed some clickbait stuff to be divisive, which makes me so sad, you know. Everything you say is just meant to be divisive when we can’t be that way right now.”
Navarro added, “But you did tell me that living in Europe had been like shutting off the noise.” The actress currently resides in Mexico and Spain with her husband, José Bastón, and their son, 6-year-old Santiago. She also finds herself in other areas of Europe and South America for work but doesn’t frequently return to Los Angeles.
“Yeah, I mean being away from the constant 24-hour news cycle puts you in a bit of a bubble, for sure,” Longoria responded, clarifying that she left the U.S. for work: “That’s why I’m in Europe. I didn’t leave because of the political environment. I left because my work took me there.”
“I had my whole adult life here,” Longoria told the magazine. “But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then COVID happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to shit on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”
The Flamin’ Hot director added that the most recent presidential election, which saw Trump defeat Kamala Harris, helped finalize her conviction. “The shocking part is not that he won,” she said of Trump‘s victory. “It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office. … If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place.”
“I’m privileged,” Longoria continued. “I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Dear Colleagues and Friends
We trust that you remain well and safe.
ICP 2020+ preparations are at full speed. We have just reached another great milestone of over 9 500 abstract submissions! This adds many more exciting choices to an already extensive and in-depth programme covering all areas of psychology and related fields. You will be spoilt for choice, including engaging with leading text-book authors and recognised experts in their various fields. ICP 2020+ will also offer many other opportunities such as providing valuable networking opportunities, and will thus provide a rich and edifying experience!
As you are aware, the leadership of ICP 2020+ and the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS), Psychology’s Global Voice, have been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. When the ICP 2020+ team presented our bid in 2012, we based our philosophy on openness, a key value spelled out in the Congress theme “Open minds, societies and the world.” We knew openness can be challenging, but none of us could have imagined that most of the world would be under lockdown since March 2020, the ICP 2020+ theme is therefore especially relevant today.
Ensuring that delegates from across the globe can safely participate in ICP2020+ is most important to us. For this reason, the ICP 2020+ and IUPsyS leadership have decided that ICP2020+ will be a Hybrid event. For the first time in ICP history since the first ICP was held in Paris in 1889, delegates will have the opportunity to attend the Congress either in-person (if you are able to travel to Prague) or virtually.
The change in format will not impact on the quality and vibrancy of the ICP 2020+ scientific programme, which covers the full spectrum of psychological areas, along with tremendous opportunities for impactful networking, meetings, reflection, and debate with colleagues and expert presenters from all parts of the globe, including the IUPsyS Presidential Address, State of the Art Lectures, IUPsyS quadrennial Award Lectures, Keynote Addresses, Invited Symposia, oral and poster presentations, symposia, roundtable discussions, critical debates, and pre-Congress workshops.
The Hybrid ICP 2020+ will be a unique enriching experience using the best available technology to provide in-person or on-line delegates with opportunities to connect with speakers and colleagues the world over in chats, live Q & A sessions, and other meaningful collaboration and engagements with participants across a variety of platforms and modes.
We look forward to your joining us for this extraordinary event without boundaries with an open mind.
Details about the Hybrid ICP2020+ will be communicated to you shortly, and will include technical information for delegates and presenters. In the interim please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org with any queries you may have.
We look forward to welcoming you at ICP 2020+ July 18-23, 2021!

Kerry hotel reports ‘avalanche’ in bookings ahead of tourism industry reopening on June 29th. Hotels and B&Bs across Ireland have reported a sharp increase in reservations over the weekend following Friday’s announcement that hotels, hostels and restaurants can reopen from June 29th. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said on Friday the re-opening of hotels, restaurants, hostels and museums would be brought forward to the end of June as part of phase two of the roadmap to reopening the country. In the Parknasilla resort in Co Kerry, the phone started ringing shortly after midday on Friday as rumours began circulating that the reopening date for hotels would be brought forward. By Monday morning, nearly all the resort’s 65 self-catering houses had been booked out for July while reservations for the hotel continued to stream in, said Carmel Flynn, head of sales for Parknasilla.
“When the news hit on Friday it was like an avalanche of reservations. People know we’re located in a very open space, they’re comfortable about booking to stay in that environment.” | | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Mythic Quest on Apple TV+ has carved out its own place as a workplace comedy focused on the video game industry, highlighting the good and bad of the gaming industry, with a cast of colorful developers. But it seems one employee won't be returning in the upcoming season.
According to Lionsgate, the studio behind the show, veteran actor F. Murray Abraham will not be reprising his role as C.W. Longbottom in the upcoming third season.
"F. Murray Abraham will not be returning to season three of Mythic Quest. Beyond that, we do not comment on matters concerning personnel," Lionsgate told Vanity Fair in a statement.
Longbottom is the head writer of Mythic Quest, the eponymous online game that the show is focused on. In the show, Longbottom is a Nebula-award-winning author who doesn't quite get the video game world he has to interact with. Longbottom is also the character that doesn't gel with the modern workplace, with opinions and statements that come across as crass at best, or racist and sexist at worst.
The character was the focus of the second season flashback episode, "Backstory!", which detailed Longbottom's long road as a fantasy author. It also highlighted his sexist views and constant struggles with alcoholism.
It's odd that Mythic Quest will cut short Longbottom's storyline, though we have no further details behind the sudden departure.
Abraham is best known his award-winning turn as Antonio Salieri in 1984's Amadeus where he played the main rival to famed composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Abraham can also be heard as the voice of the Egyptian god Khonshu in Marvel's Moon Knight.
Mythic Quest has already been renewed for seasons three and four at Apple TV+, following a second season, where the show definitely hit its stride. There is currently no release window for the third season.

Russian intelligence agents created dozens of phony Facebook accounts to spy on Emmanuel Macron and his campaign during the French presidential election this spring, according to Reuters.
The agents posed as friends of friends of Macron associates and tried to get them to divulge personal information, reports Reuters. Reuters cited a member of Congress and two other people briefed by Facebook.
About two dozen fake Facebook profiles were created, said the report, in an effort to monitor Macron campaign official and others close to the presidential candidate. Macron beat far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen in a landslide this May.
Facebook discovered the efforts during the first round of the election and traced it back to tools known to be used by Russia’s GRU military unit, Reuters reports. The Russian cyber-espionage unit, known as Fancy Beat or APT 28, was the same unit behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential election.
However, Facebook says the Russia cyber-spies were unsuccessful in their attempts. Facebook believes the main intent was to get their targets to download malicious software or unwittingly turn over their login information, the report says.
Russia denies interfering with the French election, but U.S. intelligence officials have concluded they were involved.

The Inside Outside Guys: Stairway Safety
The odds are also very good that you did not know the second leading cause of accidental injury in this country, behind only automobiles, is related to climbing or descending stairs. Stairway accidents account for more than 1 million injuries and 12,000 deaths every year in the U.S.
In residential applications, stairs evolved from ladders. Ladders took up very little precious square footage back in a time when the barn was built even before the house to protect vital livestock, and the loft was originally the “home” for people.
Stairways were viewed as a luxury due to the amount of space they occupy, and even today there are political battles waged over what we call “stairway geometry.”
Each step consists of a tread (what we step on) and a riser (how far we step up). These create two sides of a triangle and their dimensions create the “angle of ascent” that determines not only how steep the stairs are, but how much square footage the stairway will require. This “rise/run ratio” has become an issue of debate in the industry and in the building codes.

The Physician Office Diagnostic Market is fast evolving with the adoption of advanced technologies like robotics and artificial intelligence. These automated technologies help improve diagnostic procedures and reduce human errors. Physician office diagnostics include a variety of equipment used for preliminary diagnosis and screening activities carried out in doctor’s clinics and medical practitioner’s offices. Common diagnostic equipment used include x-ray machines, computed tomography (CT) scanners, ultrasounds, electrocardiographs (EKGs), testing equipment for blood, urine, etc. Automation technologies integrate artificial intelligence and robotics to automate processes like specimen collection, analysis and testing. This improves workflow, turnaround time and diagnostic accuracy.
The Global Physician Office Diagnostic Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 120.35 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10% over the forecast period 2024 To 2031.
Key players operating in the Physician Office Diagnostic Market are ABB, BEUMER GROUP, Blue Yonder Group, Inc, Daifuku Co., Ltd., E&K AUTOMATION LIMITED, Falcon Autotech Private Limited, GreyOrange, HighJump, Infor, Locus Robotics, Manhattan Associates, One Network Enterprises, Oracle, SwanLeap Inc, and Toshiba Logistics.
The Physician Office Diagnostic Market Growth offers opportunities in point-of-care testing devices and automated systems. Portable diagnostic tools allow conducting tests near patient beds leading to faster diagnosis and treatment. Automated workflow systems integrating artificial intelligence help optimize resources, enhance productivity and provide up-to-date patient data.
Adoption of robotics and AI sees increasing application in specimen collection, sample handling, processing and analysis. Robotics based automated analyzers and storage & retrieval systems improve turnaround time of diagnostic tests. AI powered diagnostic tools can analyze samples, images and test data to provide accurate diagnosis and detect anomalies. This reduces diagnostic errors and leads to improved patient outcomes.
One of the key drivers for the physician office diagnostic market is the rising demand for point-of-care diagnostic devices. Portable handheld diagnostic tools allow conducting preliminary tests in doctors’ clinics efficiently. This enables quick diagnosis and treatment decisions without having to wait for laboratory test results. The growing preference for convenience and fast healthcare further boosts demand for point-of-care diagnostics in physician offices.
Current Challenges in the Physician Office Diagnostic Market
The physician office diagnostic market is growing at a steady pace. However, there are certain challenges being faced by the industry. Diagnostic technology is advancing rapidly which increases the need for continuous training and education of physicians to keep them updated with the latest equipment and techniques. High cost of advanced diagnostic devices is also a major concern for small clinics and private practitioners. Data integration and management has emerged as a big challenge. Diagnostic data from various modalities needs to be consolidated and presented in a cohesive manner for clinical decision making.

Navigating the complexities of financial planning in your 20s and 30s can be overwhelming. Life insurance often takes a back seat to immediate concerns like student loan debts and daily expenses. However, a holistic approach to financial well-being emphasizes the critical role life insurance plays in providing a secure future.
Financial Resolutions for Young Adults
In your 20s and 30s, the focus is often on resolving student loan debts and managing daily expenses. However, incorporating life insurance into your financial strategy is essential. As Gen Zers gain financial independence, recognizing the role of life insurance becomes crucial for long-term financial stability.
Low Coverage Rates and Early Adoption
Statistics underscore the low coverage rates among Gen Zers and millennials. Only 34% of Gen Zers and 55% of millennials have coverage, emphasizing the need for early adoption. By securing life insurance at a young age, individuals can mitigate financial risks for loved ones in unexpected events while taking advantage of lower premiums.
Financial Protection for Your Loved Ones
Whether you have dependents or not, life insurance serves as a financial safety net. Even without a spouse or children, young single adults may have aging parents, disabled siblings, or pets relying on them. Life insurance ensures that dependents are not left financially vulnerable in the absence of a young single adult.
Coverage for Life’s Expenses
Life insurance goes beyond providing for dependents. It covers living expenses, debts, and shields loved ones from financial burdens resulting from unforeseen events. For young single adults, this means ensuring that financial responsibilities are met, even in their absence.
Debt Mitigation and Final Expense Coverage
Life insurance acts as a guardian against passing on significant debts to loved ones. Whether it’s student loans or mortgages, life insurance ensures that financial responsibilities do not burden family and friends. Additionally, it covers final expenses, alleviating the potential five-figure costs of a proper burial.
Potential for Growth and Wealth Accumulation
Permanent life insurance emerges as a versatile financial tool. While providing a death benefit, it accumulates cash value on a tax-deferred basis. Young single adults can leverage this accumulated cash for personal wealth growth, from buying a home to supplementing retirement income.
Early Purchase Advantage and Legacy Planning
Securing life insurance early not only ensures lower premiums but also offers peace of mind for the future. Waiting until health concerns arise can make it challenging to acquire coverage. Additionally, life insurance provides a means for young single adults to leave a meaningful legacy, supporting causes or individuals they care about.
Life Insurance Options and Consulting a Financial Professional
Understanding life insurance options is crucial. Term life insurance offers cost-effective coverage with flexibility, while permanent life insurance provides lifelong protection and wealth accumulation. Consulting a New York Life agent becomes essential to explore suitable options based on individual financial goals and evolving needs.
In conclusion, young single adults should view life insurance not merely as a safety net but as a proactive tool for securing their financial future and leaving a positive impact on the world around them. For more information about life insurance benefits and options, reach out to our local agents for personalized guidance tailored to your unique circumstances.

DECORATED and looking dapper in a military uniform is the only way Colonel Patrick Acutt knows how to remember the Fallen heroes of World War 1.
Given his family’s long association with the military, It has become a way of life for Acutt, 70, to feature at local Remembrance Day commemorations and main events on November 11 (Monday), also known as “Poppy Day”.
Colonel Acutt spent 47 years in the military, the bulk of which was with The Queen Nandi (formerly Natal) Mounted Rifles, a reserve armoured regiment of the South African Army.
He was at Glenwood Boys’ High Remembrance Day event on Thursday.
As an active veteran of the SA Legion, and president of their Durban branch, Acutt will attend the organisation’s Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph near the Durban City Hall, today.
Mainly military veteran organisations are expected to attend, including representation from the local British and US consulates and the SA Army.
On Monday, Acutt will take centre stage at the DHS’ Remembrance Day activities in honour of some of the school’s old boys who died in WW1, which ended on November 11, 1918.
Some of the other local schools staging Remembrance Day events include: St Henry’s Marist College, Kearsney College, DHS and Clifton School.
“I’ve read many rolls of honours at schools in and around Durban, they all had ex-pupil volunteer soldiers who were killed.
“Schools must be recognised for their commitment to Remember the fallen.”
On the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, silence overpowered the sound of gunfire that had been rattling on for the four previous years in an area like Normandy (North-West France), a famous battleground.
The Armistice came into effect in the 11th hour, but by then the war had claimed the lives of millions of people.
Dormant poppy seeds sprouted and flourished in this area when the earth was turned, due to all the explosions, which set in motion the germination process.
The poppy has grown to be the enduring symbol of remembrance.
“It is ironic that it took war to get the poppy seeds to germinate.
“I wear a poppy almost everyday, all-year-long. It's close to my heart.”
Acutt, who commanded the QNMR, also served as a senior staff officer during his last 20 years as a soldier.
Serving in the QNMR has been the Acutt family’s tradition that dates back to the 1860s.
“We’ve always had a member of the family serving in the regiment. Before my participation in Remembrance services, my father participated in them.”
He said throughout his military career he had a deep respect for the fallen, especially those from his regiment.
“When I was officer commanding, I undertook to do my best and visit the grave of every member of my regiment who perished. It was not entirely possible because some were in far flung places, but to a large extent, I was successful in visiting their graves and paying my respects.
“That illustrates the sense of responsibility you have as commander to respect the men not only under your command but the men before you and those still coming through.”
Acutt previously travelled with his wife Brenda to the D-Day landings in Normandy.
“We were privileged to have said an exhortation under the arches of the Menin Gate. Under those arches are the names of the 54 000 missing soldiers. One comes away from the tour of the battlefields of Normandy absolutely overcome by the scale of sacrifice in that conflict.”
Acutt and many generations of his family were also well-known for their exploits in the local property sales industry.
“The Acutts real estate group was formed by great great grandfather on November 1, 1851. I’m a fifth generation Acutt and remain the chairman. My son Jonathan is the managing director and I hope my grandson will be the next head.”
Acutt also expects the Remembrance Day traditions to flourish for generations to come.
He said WWI happenings made popular the epitaph “Lest We Forget” and at Remembrance Days day events, the audiences chant back, “We will remember them”.
“Those are like pledges or promises to always remember the Fallen.
“This tradition has been and will continue through the generations.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Argentina’s legislative quota law in 1991 set the path for women’s political participation in Latin America. Since then, 11 countries on the continent have introduced similar laws, and Argentina has continued to create legislation to ensure equal political representation for women.
A 2017 bill for gender parity reflects the continued commitment to women’s participation and representation. But corruption occurs, and male politicians place their wives or female family members on ballots, expecting to control them once they are elected. The Women’s Democracy Network chapter in Argentina works against this backdrop to empower women to play a more active role in their communities.
Dr. Raquel Munt, founding member of WDN’s Argentina chapter, cites Argentina’s history of dictatorship and traditional views on gender as the biggest barriers to women’s leadership. “I would certainly highlight the prevalence of a culture based on patriarchal and values that reproduce relationships of domination and subjugation towards women, that transform into barriers and are converted into a lack of acceptance/self-affirmation/ acknowledgment, and legitimacy,” Raquel said.
As a member of Compromiso para el Cambio (CPC or Commitment to Change), Argentina’s center-right political party, Raquel was nominated to attend WDN’s first Latin America and Caribbean regional conference in August 2006. With the help of IRI and Fundación Creer y Crecer (the Believe and Grow Foundation), Raquel developed the women-led CPC Political Leadership Training School with lawmaker Gladys Gonzalez. The seminar prepared women for political leadership through an eight-part seminar, Entre lo Femenino y la Politica (Between the Feminine and Politics).
Since then, Raquel and the WDN chapter have conducted leadership trainings for 1,300 women across the country, drafted and ratified legislation which safeguards women’s legal rights and expanded chapter members’ involvement in all facets of political activism.
Raquel emphasizes the importance of an inclusive environment to empower women. “To counter this scheme of power above others, women are capable of exercising a form of power for and with others, with their inclusive and habilitating nature, that results in respecting relationships based on equity and interdependence with this ‘feminine potential’ to construct networks.”
According to Raquel, women in Argentina are not encouraged to become political leaders and lack the resources to develop the skills and confidence. Raquel’s personal self-affirmation and commitment to training gave her the confidence and skills to lead WDN’s chapter, where she influences public policies and encourages women to become agents of change. She says WDN has created networks for her to “meet numerous women leaders who fight for democratic systems in their countries.”
Argentina’s recent laws demonstrate a commitment to encouraging women leaders, but women like Raquel empower other women to participate and overcome traditional values and traditions. Moving forward, “we need the newest generations to know the cultural significance of being a woman, and alter them to the diverse forms of discrimination that they will be exposed to depending on their social, ethnic, religious, sexual, etc. identity, so that we can honor the effort that women have made throughout history because we desire to participate in the bettering of human relations, as a first step in the development of society,” said Raquel. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Irish Sports Youth League had over 150 players and parents travel to New York this past weekend to compete in the Continental Youth Championships held on Randall’s Island. Players in all age groups competed in football, ladies football, hurling and camogie matches.
Over 700 games were played on the weekend and 230 teams from North America attended the four day event. Our players have been practicing and competing in local competition since April to prepare for this event. The CYC is the biggest Gaelic youth tournament held outside of Ireland each year.
We would like to recognize all the teams and players who made it to the club finals at the CYC. We had a number of very close games in the end and showed the other cities what Boston and the ISYL are made of.
Congratulations to our U8A Football, U8A Hurling, U8 Ladies Football, U10B Camogie, U12B Football and U16 Camogie North America Team for bringing home the championship cups. Our U8 Camogie, U10 Ladies Football, U12 Hurling, U12 Camogie, U14 Camogie and U14B Football teams were shield winners. All of our coaches did a fantastic job against some very tough teams and we congratulate them on all their hard work.
Many of the ISYL U16 and U18 boys and girls were selected to participate in the North American County Youth Board Teams. These players have the opportunity to train under the direction of the North American Games Development Administrators including our Boston GDA Kieran Cox. Four teams were selected this year U16 Football, U16 Ladies Football, U18 Hurling and U18 Football. Each of these groups put up a good fight against very strong New York select teams. The U18 Football beat New York in the final. This was a great accomplishment. We would like to congratulate our players who were selected for this year’s North American County Youth Board Teams: U16 Ladies Danielle O’Driscoll, Captain, U16 Football Ciaran Rush, U18 Football Ciaran McDevitt , Mark Dunphy, Declan Harrington and Jack Martyn, U18 Hurling Liam Duffy, Bryan Kennedy and Aiden Davoren.
We would like to thank all the ISYL players and families who traveled to New York. We were had a great presence at the CYC and next year it’s on to San Francisco. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Iveco scores tries with the Stralis
The Rugby World Cup is now entering its crucial stages with the latest matches counting towards group qualification. While the All Blacks continue their triumphant march, each day their sponsor, Iveco, faces even more battle-hardened adversaries on its own type of playing field, the market, and goes for the winning try with the Stralis.
The Iveco heavy vehicle, a key player last spring in the biggest communication campaign ever undertaken by the Company, is reaping the benefits of the investments made in its image and of the work done to improve even further an already commendable product. At the end of September - just six months after its launch - orders have reached 25,000. The new Stralis is winning the approval of a European public that appreciates the commitment with which Iveco has redesigned the cab (in terms of both aesthetics and the quality of the internal fittings) in compliance with suggestions from dealers and customers.
As a positive knock-on effect of the success enjoyed by the Stralis, Iveco has seen a significant increase in its market share (now 11.3%) in the heavy vehicles segment. Last month, the situation improved even further with an increase of 1.5% compared to August of last year and with Iveco climbing to third place in Europe. In the tractor sub-segment, the margin of improvement has risen to 2% compared to August 2006, with market share currently at over 10%.
This situation is confirmed by the trends observed in national markets. In France, for example, thanks to the availability of Euro 5 engines (which Iveco began to market 4 years ahead of European legislation) orders for Stralis have risen by 22% in just a few months. In Spain, the increase in orders amounted to 35%, a fact which contributes to Iveco’s now being the market leader in the tractor segment. With sales figures amongst the best on the market, the new Stralis has won over large fleet owners who have appreciated its quality and performance, to say nothing of its reduced consumption. In the second half of 2007 the British market has already witnessed sales figures which are approaching those registered for the whole of 2006.
If, in Western Europe, the Stralis has become the benchmark for the market, the situation is even more evident in Eastern Europe, where the increase in orders has exceeded 166%. This result also reflects Iveco’s market share, which on average has risen from 8.6% in 2006 to a forecast of 11.3% in 2007. These figures correspond to an increase of 108% in registered vehicles compared to 58% market growth.
Iveco designs, manufactures, and markets a broad range of light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, off-road trucks, city and intercity buses and coaches as well as special vehicles for applications such as fire fighting, off-road missions, defence and civil protection.
Iveco employs over 24,500 people and runs 28 production units in 16 Countries in the world using excellent technologies developed in 5 research centres. Besides Europe, the company operates in China, Russia, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, and South Africa. More than 4,600 service outlets in over 100 Countries guarantee technical support wherever in the world an Iveco vehicle is at work.

Are you considering buying new car tires? With so many types on the market, it can be difficult to decide which is best for your vehicle.
In this article, we will break down the different types of car tires and explore their features and benefits so that you can make an informed decision when selecting the right tire for your needs. From all-season tires to winter tires, mud-terrain tires and more – let’s take a closer look at what options are available to you!
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Tire Type
When it comes to choosing the right tire type for your car, there are a few factors you need to consider. Firstly, look at the cost of each option and whether they fit within your budget. Next, take into account what kind of roads you typically drive on – tires designed for highways won’t perform as well on gravel or off-road terrain.
Additionally, think about the weather conditions in your area and how often you’ll be driving in them; all-season tires may not provide optimal performance during heavy rains or snowfall. Finally, compare the noise levels and comfort ratings between different brands so that you can make an informed decision about which one will best suit your needs.
Benefits and Disadvantages of Different Tire Types
When it comes to selecting the right tires for your vehicle, there are a variety of factors to consider. Each tire type has its own advantages and disadvantages that should be taken into account before making a final decision. In this article, we will break down the most common types of car tires and discuss their benefits and drawbacks so you can make an informed choice. All-Season Tires: All-season tires offer solid performance in both wet and dry conditions while providing good tread life.
These tires also have excellent stability at higher speeds, which makes them ideal for highway driving. On the downside, they may not fare well on snow or ice-covered roads as they lack specialized winter traction features like metal studs or sipes found in winter-weather tires. Performance Tires: Performance tires provide superior handling capabilities due to their stiffer construction and lower profile design with wide grooves for enhanced traction on dry surfaces. However, these types of tires wear out faster than other varieties due to their more aggressive compound makeup designed to maximize grip when cornering hard or accelerating quickly from a stoplight.
Additionally, performance tires tend to produce more road noise than standard all-season models since increased rubber contact with the pavement produces greater friction levels leading to louder sounds during operation at high speeds. Winter Weather/Snow Tires: As mentioned previously, winter weather/snow tires feature specialized tread patterns including metal studs or sipes that dig into packed snow or ice allowing drivers better control on slippery surfaces compared to all-season varieties without such traction-enhancing technologies built into them specifically for dealing with cold climate conditions when temperatures drop below freezing point levels often resulting in hazardous roadways during colder months of the year throughout many areas across North America & Europe each season annually..
Conclusion: Which Type is Best for You?
At the end of the day, it all comes down to what works best for you and your vehicle. The type of tire that will keep you safe and provide the longest service life depends on a variety of factors such as climate, terrain, frequency, intensity of use, budget limitations, desired performance characteristics – and even personal preference.
Consider each option carefully before settling on one particular type. Do some research into manufacturers’ warranties and consumer reviews to get an idea about customer satisfaction levels with different types. It’s always good to talk through your options with a qualified mechanic or technician who can give advice tailored specifically to your needs. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A major thermal weak spot in a building is the windows, and a house can lose approximately 25% to 30% of its energy through the windows, for this reason if you are trying to create a thermally efficient home improving the windows is essential.
A windows insulate quality is referred to as a U value. The lower this value is, the better the thermal insulation the window has. Thing that improve the U-value of a window are the glass type, the insulation of the frame, and additional features like Internorm roller shutters and Internorm window shutters improve the U value.
Winter thermal protection
To make a thermally efficient home the aim is to reduce the heat and energy loss through the transparent components in a home: such as the windows, doors and facades when you are physically heating the property to an economically feasible amount and by doing this reduce the emission of CO2 by using your heating less. The parameter of the heat transmission coefficient UW is stated in W/m2K (watts per square metre kelvin), which is either mathematically calculated according to EN ISO 10077 or meteorological established according to EN ISO 12567. The following factors influence the heat transmission coefficient.
Summer heat protection
Insulated Internorm Frames and specific Internorm glazing options can be used to ensure thermal regulation to create a cool equilibrium. Overheating caused by solar gain in a property can be avoided by using thermally efficient Internorm constructive measures. Guidelines concerning upper limits in temperatures are stated in national standards (e.g. ÖNORM B 8110/3): | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A Place in the
Middle of Nowhere
a Robert Roworth film
Frank Rudolph, a middle-aged man, drives the long and winding roads of rural New South Wales headed for a place in the middle of nowhere. Percy, an aged gas station attendant, is perched behind his service counter one evening when Rudolph pulls in after a days journey to fill up.
What starts as a regular interaction between customer and service clerk quickly turns into an unsuspecting journey back to a dark and tragic past that both have attempted to forget and move on from. However, the sins of the past are too strong to simply push past and they inevitably come to rest at a place familiar, a place familial.
The beginning of such journeys always bring with them an end. For better and worse. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
While it may not seem so, I've been thinking a great deal about Robert Service and his writing during this trip, and have been working my way (again) through his collected poems.
Approaching Dawson City, and thinking both about Service and Jack London, I recalled some of my introduction to their writing, and the youthful romantic notions that the latter (and certainly both writers) conjured in their readership, despite the age of the reader.
I still have a book - Jack London Stories (1960) - that my parents gave to me. I was a voracious reader (that quality has come and gone through the decades), and my father also passed on to me books from his youth - which I still own. Books like: Lost Indian Magic (Grace and Carl Moon, 1918) and Rolf in the Woods (Ernest Thompson Seton, 1911). There is a penned note in the frontpapers of the latter by him (my father) that reads: "When I was a kid, I must have read this book & Robin Hood a dozen times each. I think Seton's a swell guy."
My father - it was bound to emerge, sooner or later - died at the beginning of June, age 89, after struggle with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. I've known many intelligent people in my life, but he was one of the smartest I have ever known. Besides being trained as a doctor in 2 and half years, a shortened medical program for WWII, he taught himself seven languages - and instilled in me a love of reading, writing, the outdoors - and a respect and curiousity about people, their cultures and beliefs.
I read out loud “The Cremation of Sam McGee” at Whitehorse, Y.T., timing it to coincide with our passing Lake Lebarge, slightly north of town. Whitehorse has two main access roads into the city, and one of them is “Robert Service Way” - such is his significance to the city.
There are strange things done in the midnight sun,
By the by the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see,
Was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge
I cremated Sam McGee
and later in the poem
A pal's last need is a thing to heed, so I swore I would not fail;
And we started on at the streak of dawn; but God! He looked ghastly pale.
He crouched on the sleigh and he raved all day of his home in Tennessee;
And before nightfall a corpse was all that was left of Sam McGee.
It became clear to me after passing through Dawson City that Whitehorse and the Yukon Territory were really just a “touchstone” place (and fertile inspiration) for both the poetry of Service and the writing of Jack London. Each spent a relatively short time there. Service as in his early twenties when he lived in the Yukon, an then traveled the world. London was 21 when he traveled to north from Oakland to be part of the 1897 Gold Rush; however, he soon returned after developing scurvy.
Although also traveling all over the world, and writing more than fifty books in about twenty years, London's Klondike tales were the most lucrative for him during his relatively short career (he died in 1916, age 40).
“He was the archetype of the American hero who tried to live what he wrote. He was also the Californian Pilgrim, in search of the new at all costs, as if life would go on forever. He made himself a myth in his own time and for ours.” (Andrew Sinclair)
I've picked up several other books on this trip, and much of what permeates the writings of Service and the individual's struggle to assert himself/herself of London is echoed in this line from Rudy Wiebe's The Mad Trapper (1980). It the fictionalized account of the true story about Albert Johnson, who eluded the RCMP during a manhunt for 50 days in the Yukon in winter, 1931. Here is that quote from the book:
A lean businessman looked at him sourly.
“Yeah,” he said. “And how far does a man have to go, to get away from snoopy police?”
"You never get away from anything,” the grizzly-bearded man beside him said, his parka half draped off his shoulders. “There's always some bitching government thing following you.”
Sounds kinda like Palin's song and dance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Richards Scores Thrilling Victory in First-Ever Appearnace
At Macon Speedway
St Marys, Ohio, (July 26, 2017) - In his first appearance at Macon (Ill.) Speedway Josh Richards scored a thrilling victory, outdueling local favorite Shannon Babb Tuesday night.
Tuesday marked the last night of a two week midwestern race swing and Richards and crew wanted to end their trip in Victory Lane. Having never raced on the small, one-fifth-mile clay oval, Richards took to the track for the first time during hot laps and qualifying. He ran the third quickest circuit in his hot lap group and went on to qualify 12th quickest overall. His time trial effort lined him up in fourth for the start of his 10-lap heat race. At the drop of the green flag, Richards advanced to third and maintained that position throughout. His third place-finish guaranteed the West Virginia native the ninth starting spot for the 100-lap finale.
Starting on the inside of Row 5, Richards got bunched up on start and dropped to 11th during the opening laps. It didn’t take long for the Best Performance Motorsports driver to start moving forward and at Lap 4 he had muscled his way to eighth. Almost immediately encountering lapped traffic on the tiny track, Richards maneuvered through the lapped cars while continuing to advance at a steady pace. He was up to seventh at Lap 9 and running in sixth at Lap 17. The 29-year-old driver remained in sixth until a Lap 28 caution period allowed him to capitalize on the ensuing restart and take over the fifth spot. Just four laps later the yellow flag flew again restacking the field. When the green flag waved, Richards drove low in a daring move and rocketed to the third position. With the leaders just in front of him, Richards was relentless taking over the second spot on Lap 39. Determined to make it to the point positon, he drove low lap after lap putting pressure on leader Shannon Babb until he was finally able to complete the pass on Lap 60. Now in command of the race, Richards tried to distance himself from the lead pack, but lapped cars made it nearly impossible. With 40 laps remaining, Richards fought off repeated challenges from Babb while maneuvering through traffic. Just when it looked as if he was going to collect the win, the caution flag flew on Lap 99, setting the field up for a one-lap shootout. Richards didn’t disappoint, giving it all he had on the final restart to outduel Babb for his ninth victory of the season in a thrilling race.
Richards’ win advanced his lead in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point standings 215 points over second-place Scott Bloomquist.
The Best Performance Motorsports team is scheduled to return to action Aug. 10-12 at Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky.
Tuesday Race Results
Qualifying – 12th Heat Race –3rd Feature Start –9th Feature Finish –1st
JOSH RICHARDS QUOTES: “When you are at Macon (Speedway) and you have Shannon Babb on your bumper it makes you nervous even with one lap to go. I can’t thank my team enough. It was my first time at Macon and it was a super fun track to race. It might even be one of my favorite tracks to run on now. I didn’t know quite what to do in hot laps. So, we went back and made some changes for the heat race and feature.
“We just did what we thought would work best. The bottom was good early and then it developed a black streak. I went to the top for a while and got up there where he (Babb) was running. I just tried to ride it out and find a good pace and it worked out.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Tasting Notes: Graham, Toffee, Chocolate, Plantain
Processing: Ethyl Acetate Decaffeination (Sugarcane)
Sometimes the world needs a decaf. Sometimes it doesn't. But in the case, you've made it this far so hear us out on this incredible decaf!
This surprisingly complex cup of decaf doesn't just happen by accident. These coffees are cupped as regular green samples and identified for the decaffeination process, which happens in Colombia where they are harvested. This both maintains the integrity of the cup quality and allows for responsible sourcing. After a bonding and steaming process, there are almost no traces of caffeine left in the coffee. It's chemical free and full of flavor.
Origin Select Decafs are sourced green by Café Imports prior to decaffeination, breaking from the industry norm. By doing this, they are able to provide the highest quality water and E.A. (Ethyl Acetate, a natural solvent derived from fermented sugar or molasses products) processed products available. This particular lot is chosen from among lots brought by 11 smallholder growers in the department of Nariño.
These producers achieve good quality by picking ripe cherries (when they are a deep purple color), and de-pulping them the same day they're picked. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Kendrick Lamar continues to put on for the West Coast in his new music video for “squabble up.”
Directed by Calmatic, the visual takes place in one room, in which Kendrick’s seen either showing off his dance moves or reading a book titled How To Be More Like Kendrick For Dummies. Different groups of people make their way in and out of the room, some dancing, a few fighting and others attempting to figure out the jumbled letters on a board.
He sprinkles in a bit of LA, with the dance moves and street sign from the 105 Freeway. There are also a few Easter eggs, including a Nate Dogg tribute, one to Ice-T‘s album Power and a poster for the Compton Christmas Parade.
The video for “squabble up,” the song first teased in Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” video, is now available to watch on YouTube.

How to wake up early naturally?
Waking up with natural light offers a huge amount of benefits. The biggest one being an possible improvement for your mental health. This is mostly due to our bodies being made to wake up when the sun goes up and go to sleep when it goes down. However we usually do not embrace this natural rhythm and do not wake up with nature. Most of us wake up in a dark room with a little help from their alarm clock or phone. Bluetooth window shades could be the solution.
Wake up with nature through Smart Blinds
Well we could just sleep in front of our uncovered windows, to let natural light wake up ourselves. Sadly as most of us live in cities there are privacy concerns. Who would like sleeping exposed to all their neighbors? The ideal solution for this are smart blinds or better said motorized blackout shades connected to our app. Just tell the Bluetooth window shades to open when the sun goes up and enjoy a smooth and natural waking process. Your phone is smart enough to know at what time the sun goes up in your area. Isn’t that great?
If you prefer a little bit sun shine over a full blast, see dual shades or other electric shades that offer different shading options and tell the smart blinds to give you just as much sun as you want.
Other benefits Electric Shades can offer
Keego Blinds make sure that apart from providing a stress free sleep schedule with natural light wake up, smart blinds offer a few other not less important benefits.
Saving on the heating bill is one of it. Electric shades or shades in general work as insulation material, so if you time smart blinds well, you can get you best out of heat insulation. Just set up motorized blackout shades on each window and figure a smart routine helping you to block sun. This will prevent your house from heating up.
Thieves love it when you are on vacation and one factor on how they might figure out that you are not home are window treatments. With automatic smart blinds your home will look like someone is living in it right now. This could be a little help if needed. Best thing, Bluetooth window shades can be programmed and you do not need to be present for them to work. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

We had the opportunity to be among the first families to meet Doc McStuffins at her new home at Hollywood and Vine today at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We made an 8:00am breakfast reservation in order to meet her today. We had a great time meeting Doc McStuffins, Sofia the First, Handy Manny and Jake. The entire experience took about one and a half hours. We were waiting on Doc to make her way over to us. The meal appeared MUCH more popular than it was when Secret Agent Oso and June met there.
I personally think this is a great mixture of characters. There’s two male and two female characters and many little boys like Doc McStuffins. The characters are willing to spend as much time with your family as you’d like to interact and Doc was uber popular, so don’t expect to run in, consume some egg dish and run out in 30 minutes. I think one to one and a half hours is reasonable for this and any character rotation meal.
We began with meeting Handy Manny. Not a lot to say. The guy loves tools, so he and I have a lot in common. We’ve seen him a number of times in the past when he offered the in park meet and greet. I need to get one of those pencils though.
After the song and dance time we hung out with a fellow pirate, who can appreciate all things piratey like extra FP+, character paloozas and trying to locate Darkwing Duck. They guy knows his treasure!
We also had a chance to participate in the always fun “Talk like a pirate” song interaction time. They could just play this song all day long and it would be an awesome experience. Everyone needs to learn some good Arrrs and Ahoys and Avasts. This song should be mandatory learning in all the high schools across America. We realized at this point that we were on the wrong side of the room though. The characters that actually sing these songs were always on the OTHER side of the room, LOL.
SOFIA THE FIRST
After another round of singing we met Sofia the First. We stayed so long we ended up meeting the little princess twice :) I asked when we’ll see Clover and she said he is out in the garden. We searched the whole park and didn’t find him or any other bunny. I guess bunnies don’t exist because I didn’t see one.
Finally, it was time for the grand premier of the doctor that thousands of children hope to become. I think it’s cool that she is a career-minded woman with high goals. Someone will need to have the ability to repair all the plastic and electronic toys of the future! It is good to have some positive role models for young people that extend beyond dreaming of being a pirate or princess and she teaches in a fun way.
Can you tell my girls were happy to meet Doc McStuffins? You’re probably wondering where my son was all this time? He wanted to sleep in today after 2 basketball games yesterday and an afternoon and evening in the Animal Kingdom that included a half dozen rides on Expedition Everest, mostly after dark.
I recommend that you book a late breakfast or lunch for this character experience, so you don’t miss out on the first hour of important park touring. You could easily ride Toy Story Mania, meet Buzz and Woody and ride the Great Movie Ride. You could save your FP+ for Rock N Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror and Star Tours and have an simple day in the park.
WHAT ABOUT THE FOOD?
The food was largely your basic breakfast foods of eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, cheese grits, mickey waffles, pancakes, tater tots etc. They had some fritata, a fruit bar and make your own eggs/omelets bar, cereals and desserts. Lunch is a variety of buffet items that everyone could find something to eat. Even though they offer lemon filled water out front, it’s not a high end meal. It’s a nice meal and a great character experience.
Here’s the photos of the food if you like that sort of thing: | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Nyamira South Sub County Deputy County Commissioner, Julius Otieno has affirmed that teamwork was needed to end outdated Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in the region.
Addressing the County Anti-FGM steering Committee members in Nyamira, Otieno said the fight against FGM is not a one-man or department show but rather a synergy by all relevant stakeholders who should team up and craft ways to end the vice.
“The President’s directive of ending FGM by 2022 requires people to pull together towards a common course so that we can preserve the dignity of our girls in this area and give them opportunity to attain optimum potential in their education and career dreams,” the DCC emphasized.
“Gusii region has for a long time practiced FGM as a rite of passage for girls from childhood to adulthood but in the recent past the practice is administered to minors who have neither understood how their bodies work nor able to reject the cut as decisions are solely made by their parents,” Mr. Otieno said.
Nyamira County Gender Officer, Ronald Mang’aa said the steering committee launched on Friday would campaign against FGM by sensitizing the community on the adverse effects of FGM to girls.
“Medicalization of FGM in Gusiiland has made it difficult for administrators to arrest perpetrators of FGM but we shall now start engaging the entire community leadership in training and sensitizing residents to shun the practice,” said the gender officer.
He further observed that rising sexual abuse among girls has pushed many of them into unplanned motherhood forcing them to drop out of school and opt for early marriages.
While presiding over the launch of the County Anti FGM Steering Committee on Friday Mr. James Sang’ori, Director at State Department for Gender, had emphasized that the committee must engage meaningfully to clearly understand its role in the president’s directive to end FGM by 2022.

DUCHESNE -- An early morning rollover leaves one teenager dead and two others injured.
At approximately 12:20 a.m. Saturday morning, three teenagers were driving in a Ford F-350 up a dirt road to access a bluff known as "D Hill" on the northwest end of Duchesne. The truck went off the road and rolled 250 feet down the steep hillside, said Utah Highway Patrol trooper Seth Spencer.
All three teenagers were not wearing seat belts and were ejected when the truck rolled. The driver, identified as 15-year-old Chad Casey, was killed in the crash, with the two female passengers taken by ambulance to Uintah Basin Medical Center for treatment.
The condition of the passengers in the truck is unknown at this time. Their names have not been released because they are minors.
Casey did not have a license, Spencer said, but alcohol and drug use were not factors in the rollover.

The seventh-ranked Tennessee Volunteers need to solve their first-half offensive woes. They were shut out by Arkansas, Florida and Alabama. Then they scored just three points against Kentucky before halftime. Solving that issue will be crucial if the Volunteers want to make the rest of their season easier to handle and reach the games they want to be playing in come December. The Mississippi State Bulldogs have just snapped a seven-game skid. Now they want to start a winning streak by taking that winning feeling to the next level against an SEC opponent. Doing that Saturday night would spoil much more than Tennessee's homecoming. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Simon Cooper: Intersection Theory on Zip Period Maps
Time: Thu 2024-05-23 09.00
Location: Classroom 7, Floor 2, Albano House 1
Doctoral student: Simon Cooper , Department of Mathematics, Stockholm University
Opponent: Ben Moonen (Radboud University Nijmegen)
Supervisor: Wushi Goldring
This thesis consists of four papers, all motivated by questions about intersection theory on Shimura varieties in positive characteristic. The connection with intersection theory of flag varieties, made using the stack of \(G\)-Zips of type \(\mu\), is explored throughout. More generally, we work in the setting of intersection theory on spaces \(X\) admitting morphisms to the stack of \(G\)-Zips of type \(\mu\). These morphisms are termed 'zip period maps' in Paper III. The fundamental example of such an \(X\) is the special fibre of an integral canonical model of a Shimura variety of Hodge-type. Moreover, there is a notion of 'tautological ring' for any (smooth) zip period map which gives the usual tautological ring in the case of Shimura varieties.
In Paper I the tautological ring of a Hilbert modular variety at an unramified prime is computed. The method generalises van der Geer's approach from the Siegel case and makes use of the properness of the non-maximal Ekedahl-Oort strata closures in this setting.
The pushforward map in the Chow ring between Siegel flag varieties is computed in Paper II. Siegel flag varieties are projective varieties which are quotients of the symplectic group. They appear as the compact dual of the Siegel upper half plane. A conjecture exploring the connection between classes in Chow rings of flag varieties and classes in tautological rings of Shimura varieties is presented. The computation contained in this paper can be viewed as very basic evidence for this conjecture.
In Paper III we develop various conjectures related to positivity in the tautological ring of a zip period map. The notion of strata-effective classes is introduced. Several conjectures are presented regarding classes which we expect to be strata-effective. These are proved in many cases, including for Hilbert modular varieties, which are more accessible for various group-theoretic reasons. A connection between strata-effectivity and the Cone Conjecture of Goldring-Koskivirta is developed and provides examples of tautological and effective classes which nevertheless fail to be strata-effective.
In Paper IV we compute the Grothendieck group of the stack of \(G\)-Zips of type \(\mu\) (as a ring) in the case where the derived group of \(G\) is simply connected. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In an age of ever-increasing cyber-risks, with a growing number of attacks and increasing sophistication of targeted attacks, organizations are under constant pressure of improving their cyber-attack resilience. On the other hand, access is becoming increasingly heterogeneous. Mobile employees, customers, connected devices, applications, APIs, and business partners access the internal network remotely, while more and more data is shifting to the cloud.
Protecting data in these environments, where the traditional perimeter around the internal network is no longer the single area of protection, has become a challenge. Many vendors are pushing technologies that they position as Zero Trust solutions, be it Zero Trust Networking or Zero Trust Security. The principle behind the Zero Trust buzzword is that organizations should never trust any entity and should always verify before giving it access to anything on the internal network or in the cloud. Those working with or for an organization should be able to work successfully from an untrusted network or unmanaged device without compromising the organization's resources etc. Basically, the idea is that there must not be a single source of trust such as the firewall at the network perimeter, but a constant verification of entities and their access request by different measures.
There are many approaches to improving the overall security posture of an enterprise. Taking a network-centric approach may involve an enterprise to redesign their network by splitting it into subnetworks in an effort to increase the security level of each network segment based on the sensitivity of resources that a given network segment contains. Although network segmentation is a valid layer of security when achieving defense in depth, it can also be expensive and difficult to justify on its return on investment (ROI). A more data-centric approach may involve data discovery and classification, then securing the data at rest and monitor its usage. This approach is again a good layer of defense in depth but can be costly in time and effort to find and then have the subject matter experts available to property classify all the data. Given that the majority of attack vectors are identity-related and often stem from a weak or stolen password or compromised privileged credentials as examples, a case can be made that an access first approach may be the better first line of defense.
Again, there are many ways for enforcing such approaches. Amongst these, we find different types of gateway-based security solutions. At the application level, these range from long-established Web Access Management and Web Application Firewalls to CASB (Cloud Access Security Brokers). While the first two are focused on protecting internal applications, CASBs run in the cloud and protect access to cloud services.
Commonly, such approaches combine some sort of identity services such as adaptive authentication capabilities with access or data usage control at the application level, plus added reporting features. Gateway-based approaches require data to pass a certain component, the gateway. While such gateways allow controlling and managing access, they, on the other hand, require access be configured in a way that it passes the gateway. That can happen at the edge if there are edge components that are mandatorily passed. This is a common approach for Web Application Firewalls, that filter incoming traffic as an edge component. It might require configuration of target applications to only accept requests coming in via the gateway. That approach is commonly found in CASBs, where the target cloud services are configured to accept tenant access only via a defined CASB gateway. Configuration also can happen at the client devices, e.g. requiring the web browser to pass a certain proxy.
Factually, all such approaches impose some challenges and limitations. Thus, flexibility in implementation and use is a key criterion for selecting solutions, aside of the added level of security. The more transparent such solutions work, the broader their use cases.
Israeli software vendor Safe-T Data (www.safe-t.com) delivers a platform that helps organizations in restricting uncontrolled data / application access and usage by passing users through the Safe-T Secure Application Access solution. The solution covers a broad range of different data access and usage, protocols and use cases, making it an interesting element specifically for environments with high data security requirements. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I love hunting in the Midwest. I’ve been going there for several years and look forward to it each year at this time. Not only do I get to see some friends that I have come to know, but I get to chase some really big bucks. Sometimes, (if not most of the time) I get to chase them in difficult weather conditions. Since I’m there in early November, I know it’s going to be pretty cold. I also know I’m going to face some pretty stiff winds. And since I’m there for several days, it’s most likely going to rain. This trip is usually very taxing on the mind and body. I can remember many times sitting in blowing rain and the same amount of time trying to stay warm while a cold wind is hitting me directly in the face. I will come home from there with a full beard, lips chapped, wind-burned, and looking like I just met God on the mountain to receive the Ten Commandments (except where I hunt, there are no mountains). In spite of all of these difficulties, not only do I keep going back, I keep looking forward to it year after year.
If you are a hunter, you know why I keep doing this. It’s because of the trophy. It’s because the prize exceeds all the difficulties. It’s because the comfort of a great story exceeds the pain of 12 hours in a tree stand. But really, as you know, it’s more than that. Since I rarely kill a big buck, I can’t say the trophy is the reason I continue to go. Actually, I go for only the potential for the trophy. It’s not the prize but the possibility for the prize. I keep returning year after year with equal enthusiasm, enduring everything Mother Nature throws at me, because I simply have an amazing opportunity. To me, it is really neat that I have found something so worthwhile, I am committed to only its potential. I’ve seen signs of its existence. I watched it from afar. I have even had its presence cause my heart to rattle its cage of ribs. But none of these contain the full measure of a rare success. None of these are full and complete.
Heaven also seems to be this way – even my own Christian walk… and God. I live this life mainly for its potential. I have seen many signs of its reality. I have watched the work of God from afar. I have also had His presence rattle my heart. But I really only live on a promise, that one day what is now potential and possibility, will become sight. I can only imagine what the prize will be if the potential has so much draw.

Section 133 Indian Contract Act 1872
Section 133 of the Indian Contract Act 1872 is about Discharge of surety by variance in terms of contract. It is under CHAPTER VIII of the Act. CHAPTER VIII is titled OF INDEMNITY AND GUARANTEE.
Discharge of surety by variance in terms of contract
Any variance, made without the suretys consent, in the terms of the contract between the principal [debtor] and the creditor, discharges the surety as to transactions subsequent to the variance.
(a) A becomes surety to C for B’s conduct as a manager in C’s bank. Afterwards, B and C contract, without A’s consent, that B’s salary shall be raised, and that he shall become liable for one-fourth of the losses on overdrafts. B allows a customer to overdraw, and the bank loses a sum of money. A is discharged from his suretyship by the variance made without his consent, and is not liable to make good this loss.
(b) A guarantees C against the misconduct of B in an office to which B is appointed by C, and of which the duties are defined by an Act of the Legislature. By a subsequent Act, the nature of the office is materially altered. Afterwards, B misconducts himself. A is discharged by the change from future liability under his guarantee, though the misconduct of B is in respect of a duty not affected by the later Act.
(c) C agrees to appoint B as his clerk to sell goods at a yearly salary, upon A’s becoming surety to C for B’s duly accounting for moneys received by him as such clerk. Afterwards, without As knowledge or consent, C and B agree that B should be paid by a commission on the goods sold by him and not by a fixed salary. A is not liable for subsequent misconduct of B.
(d) A gives to C a continuing guarantee to the extent of 3,000 rupees for any oil supplied by C to B on credit. Afterwards B becomes embarrassed, and, without the knowledge of A, B and C contract that C shall continue to supply B with oil for ready money, and that the payments shall be applied to the then, existing debts between B and C. A is not liable on his guarantee for any goods supplied after: this new arrangement.
(e) C contracts to lend B 5,000 rupees on the 1st March. A guarantees repayment. C pays the 5,000 rupees to B on the 1st January. A is discharged from his liability, as the contract has been varied, inasmuch as C might sue B for the money before the 1st of March.

Longer opening hours for Tesco's Preston store on Deepdale Retail Park after conversion from Morrisons
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The retailer moved into what was previously the Morrison’s supermarket on Deepdale Retail Park after its rival vacated the premises in September last year. It began operating on 23rd November, after weeks of work to convert and upgrade the store.
Preston City Council’s planning committee has now approved a bid for the Blackpool Road outlet to open an hour longer at either end of the day - and for its petrol station to become a 24-hour facility.
Hide AdThe decision means the main shop will soon be open from 6am until 11pm, Monday to Saturday, as opposed to 7am to 10pm at the moment. Its Sunday opening hours will be unchanged at 10am to 6pm.
The petrol station is currently permitted to open between 6am and 11pm, but will now shift to round-the-clock operation, seven days a week. However, the attached kiosk will stick to the present opening hours, meaning customers wanting to fill up between 11pm and 6am will have to use the ‘pay at pump’ option.
Roddy MacLeod, from Redline Planning Services - the agent for Tesco’s application - told the committee the store had been “trading well” since it opened in the run-up to Christmas.
He said the change - achieved by varying a condition attached to the original planning permission for the store, granted in 2012 - would “enhance accessibility” for customers, while allowing Tesco “to operate the store more efficiently over a longer period each day”
Hide AdNo public objections to the proposal were received by the city council and the authority’s planning officers concluded that it would not have an adverse impact on those households closest to the store.
The petrol station forecourt was considered to be located a sufficiently “significant distance” away from residential properties - between 100 and 135 metres to those on Thorn Street, Basil Street, Emerson Road and Browning Road - in order to ensure the introduction of overnight trading would not disturb the people living there.
Committee chair Javed Iqbal described the application as “very straightforward” - and his colleagues agreed, approving it unanimously after less than five minutes of deliberation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The most effective, sure bet to passing a drug test? Don’t do drugs.
However, ours is not a perfect world and there are times when one might partake of a drug that would show up on a drug test and could possibly alter your sports career or job or even your family life. You may even innocently enough be taking a medication prescribed by a doctor that will “pop” on a drug test.
So if you need to pass a drug test, you first need to know how to make sure your urine is free of drugs and any other substances. The quick fix 6.2 is the best option you have, no matter what drugs you have been taking, it will ensure that you pass the urine test. Exercises increase your level of sweating and also the rate of metabolism but this is one of the simple ways to ensure that you pass the urine test and I didn’t even know you could buy something like this!
But there are other effective and faster ways to ensure that you pass the urine test. Here are the three most popular means to pass a drug test.
You should eat foods that are high in fiber. They are easy to digest, and through the normal excretion process, some of the drug substance is removed. One should also avoid foods high in fats. This is because fats store drug substances. Removing high fats food from your diet is an effective method to avoid having too much drug in your system. A detox diet should mainly contain fruits and veggies. One should eat fresh fruits and veggies at regular intervals and in small portions. This is an effective detox plan for drug addicts. If you are trying to clean up your system so that you can pass a drug test, you should eat more fruits and veggies. It is also important to drink more water.
Sometimes, one is not ready for a job interview opportunity. When it happens, and the first condition is to test for drugs, one may feel helpless. They tend to feel that they have lost the chance to get that dream job. Some athletes are also scared of being left out in major competitions with the potential to earn them a jackpot. In such instances, the only option is to use synthetic urine. Before you go for a urine test, ensure that you have it. You may get synthetic urine online. This is the best way to avoid a urine synthesis that may show traces of drugs. Many people who are on drugs use this method.
This is another quick fix method to help eliminate traces of drugs in your urine. Using Midol or creatine substances will help you urinate more; hence you excrete drug traces from your urine. But you should also take more mineral supplements to avoid dehydration. Drinking plenty of water ensures that the urine is dilute hence shows no trace of minerals or drugs. But this may lead to inconclusive test results. Taking aspirin also results in errors in the drug test. But when you use the diuretics with proper supplementation, then this will ensure that the drug test results do not come out positive.
Some people also request their friends who do not have a history of doing drugs to help them with urine samples. But the above three methods will ensure that your urine comes out clean even though you have been on drugs. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Everything You Need to Know Before Fall 2023 Graduation
Updated: Dec 4, 2023
Graduation is right around the corner for UAFS students. Here is what you will need to know to be prepared to walk across the stage.
The Fall 2023 commencement is slowly approaching. Set for December 16, there will be two ceremonies held, one at 10 a.m. and the other at 1 p.m. The morning ceremony will be for the College of Business and Industry and the College of Health, Education, and Human Sciences. The afternoon ceremony is meant for the College of Arts and Sciences.
Prior to the big day, you will need to purchase your cap and gown and plan graduation pictures. There are various photographers in the area who can capture your graduation photos. There’s still plenty of time to schedule your photoshoot before graduation.
Cap and gown purchases can be made until November 17th. To make this purchase, you can visit Heff Jones. If you are graduating with a master’s or bachelor's, you will need to wear a black cap and gown. With an associate degree, you will purchase a navy cap and gown.
Starting on December 11th through the 15th, you can pick up a reader card in the Registrar's Office. You want to keep this handy as you will give this to the reader once you make your way to the stage. The reader will then announce your name and degree as you receive your diploma.
If desired, the cap can be decorated. It must be appropriate for graduation with no inappropriate images or offensive language. Having trouble with inspiration? Pinterest is a great place to start.
Before the ceremony, graduates must show up 45 minutes prior. You will meet in the Echols building next to the Stubblefield arena, where you will find your college. Don’t be late!
Before graduation, make sure you have the perfect outfit on hand. You want to feel your best, so look your best. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Little Kickers supporting the ‘Little Fighters’Little Kickers, football classes for kids 1 – 7 years, is supporting the much smaller ‘little fighters’ in the world, premature babies in NZ who need our support to survive.
You can’t be guaranteed anything when starting the journey of parenthood, one of them being when your precious one/s will arrive! My husband and I (Directors of Little Kickers NZ) found out the unexpected news of expecting identical twin boys (now 5 years old). Once you get over the shock of this you start the not so good google search on your possible journey ahead – it’s called a high-risk pregnancy on purpose – as we found out.
At 18 weeks pregnant we found out our boys had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) which affects approx. 1-3 per 10,000 births or less than 15% of identical twins. Without going into the ins and outs of the condition it did give us an extremely high chance of them being delivered early therefore requiring time in NICU (Newborn Intensive Care Unit).
There were some very emotional hair-raising moments of showing signs of labour at 24 weeks and then the possibility of being sent to Sydney for laser surgery (this surgery is now available in NZ) but we luckily got through to 35 weeks gestation. On delivery at 35 weeks, 1.7kg and 2.2kg, they were rushed to NICU. We had a basic understanding of what NICU was all about but nothing can prepare you for all the beeping machines and general numbers flashing here and there and alarms going off. It’s such a noisy place for such peaceful innocent little beings.
We had twin 2 (2.2kg) start his life off with a brain seizure at birth so he was hooked up to machines and drugged to keep him stable and the other being so very small that we felt quite lost in these alien looking incubators.
“We found our way through this journey, taking comfort in the support of other parents – some twin mums which I am still friends with – and the support of the wonderful nurses and doctors who invested so much time and energy into the amazing jobs they did daily.”
NICU is such an emotional place. Every day I would get dropped off by my husband on the way to his work at 8am and then picked up again on the way back at 6pm. My day would consist of doing their cares (temperature taking, nappy changes, tube feed them and try to breastfeed) and then pumping to keep my milk supply up in-between. The day ended in going home, eating dinner and then more pumping (every 3 hours during the night) and dropping off milk to the hospital at 9pm. This continued on for 5 weeks when we could finally go home as a complete family.
This journey makes life stop, everything outside of NICU becomes irrelevant. Then you get the families where they can’t stop their lives, they have other kids to care for and live miles away from their loved ones, let alone those who are dealing with their premature babies having life-saving surgery. The Neonatal Trust enables parents to gain the support they need during these hard times.
My husband and I chose this charity to support for 2014 and look forward to our first fundraiser which is Dress-up & Support week (April 5th – 11th) at Little Kickers NZ.
Kids and parents bring a gold-coin donation to their weekly class, they can dress-up as anything they want - with our coaches dressing up as well – all in aid of The Neaonatal Trust who support the ‘Little Fighters’ in this world.

Hatton, Niemann eye 2025 Open spots thanks to Race to Dubai finishes
Thanks to their final positions in the 2024 Race to Dubai, LIV Golf players Tyrrell Hatton and Joaquin Niemann should be secure for next year’s Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
Hatton finished 4th and Niemann 25th in the final season-long points standings after Sunday’s DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
Although the Open has yet to officially announce its complete exemption qualifications for 2025, one of the exemptions in previous years has been the top 30 finishers in the Race to Dubai.
Hatton and Niemann were among the 16 LIV Golf players who competed in the 2024 Open at Royal Troon, with Jon Rahm producing the best result, a tie for seventh.
One of Hatton’s exemptions for 2024 was his top-30 finish in the 2023 Race to Dubai, while Niemann qualified via his win at the Australian Open, an Open Qualifying Series event. Niemann will defend that title in two weeks.
Assuming the top 30 Race to Dubai exemption has not changed, 10 LIV Golf players are now set for Royal Portrush, including past champions Phil Mickelson, Louis Oosthuizen, Cameron Smith and Henrik Stenson. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Step 1 Software is a world-class, modern enterprise resource planning (ERP) software system serving today’s SMB distributors. From consultative services to business intelligence, Step 1 Software ensures the front-line supplier businesses they serve operate profitably, adapt continuously, and achieve their purpose.
By having LogMeIn Central and Rescue within our IT toolkit, we’re able to enhance security, boost productivity, improve our customer satisfaction and ultimately ensure we resolve issues as quickly as possible so our customers are able to maintain their day-to-day operations.
Step 1 Software serves a lot of small businesses who do not have extensive resources and therefore rely on Step 1 Software to recommend how to best tackle business challenges. Back in the day, Step 1 Software was product-agnostic, and they gave their customers the choice of using whatever remote-control solution they preferred. With cyber-attacks becoming more sophisticated and continuing to be on the rise, Step 1 Software needed to find a solution that offered a more secure and reliable connection method that they could implement for their customers. In addition to a secure way to manage their customers’ endpoint infrastructure, Step 1 Software also needed a seamless way to troubleshoot issues on devices outside their environment and go beyond computers/servers to also support mobile devices.
Before LogMeIn Central and Rescue, a lot of their clients relied on Windows Remote Desktop, but it fell short on security standards, so Step 1 Software needed a holistic IT Support model that was more secure, reliable and user-friendly to better serve all their customers.
Step 1 Software implemented LogMeIn Central first to provide proactive IT support to their customers’ computers and servers. Then, Step 1 Software added LogMeIn Rescue to troubleshoot devices outside of their day-to-day environment and to support iOS and Android mobile devices. “Having a holistic, proactive and reactive IT support model is absolutely critical to ensuring our customers get the fastest, highest quality support available to continue operating at maximum capacity,” says Gerald Human.
Step 1 Software implemented LogMeIn Central to deploy host software across their customers’ servers and computers for secure remote access without end user interruption. Step 1 Software also uses LogMeIn Antivirus powered by Bitdefender, patch management, and asset management. “With LogMeIn Central, pushing out Windows Updates is so much easier to manage. I simply click the button to run the updates and I’m done, it’s that simple. I also rely on LogMeIn Central software inventory reporting functionality to easily see which customers are still running on older operating systems that aren’t supported anymore and get them to upgrade. Having that single pane of glass view and such powerful yet intuitive security features is critical to serving our customers,” says Human.
Adding LogMeIn Rescue to Step 1 Software’s IT toolkit has enabled the company to provide instant remote support in real-time to any computer or mobile device. “With LogMeIn Rescue, we’re able to provide ad hoc support to any user within seconds without any IT knowledge needed. Being able to start a session in less than 20 seconds has allowed us to troubleshoot and resolve issues on computers and mobile devices directly with our customers in real-time. We also rely on the laser pointer in Rescue to facilitate with presentations and easily point out what we’re referencing for our customers during the session. It’s a small but extremely helpful feature,” says Gerald Human.
Implementing LogMeIn Central and Rescue as proactive and reactive IT support solutions has benefited Step 1 Software tremendously. “Not having both Central and Rescue would be extremely costly for us,” says Human. When Step 1 Software runs into situations where they’re not allowed to remotely access a system due to a specific customer’s security standards, the troubleshooting time is 5 to 6 times longer than if they’d be able to remote into the machine and see exactly what’s going on. “Not only would troubleshooting time increase 5-fold, but we’d need 4 to 5 times the staff to do what we do without both Central and Rescue,” says Gerald Human.
Another key benefit is customer satisfaction. “Having both Central and Rescue means we’re able to save so much staff labor and customer frustration”, says Human. The tools complement each other extremely well, and these products have distinct use cases: Central allows Step 1 Software to access computers and servers in the background without end-user interruption, and Rescue is the troubleshooting tool that allows Step 1 Software to access any computer or mobile device even if it’s outside their endpoint infrastructure. “Both Central and Rescue are absolutely critical to our IT operations, and there are simply no better tools out there,” says Gerald Human. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Is there any worse feeling than buyer's remorse? Maybe it was an impulse buy, and you didn't do enough homework beforehand. Or maybe you researched incessantly, asked your friends and colleagues for recommendations, even demoed the product, and after using it for a period of time, you realize it's not a good fit. Worst of all, you can't take it back, or get a refund. The feeling of wasting money is the worst, no matter the cost. But when it comes to big purchases — purchases you are going to build a business or team around - like remote support - buyer's remorse is not an option.
So how do you prevent that from happening?
When investing in a remote support solution it's important to think about how the software will be able to scale as your business grows. What may be a perfect fit for you now, may not work in a year. As workloads increase and infrastructures change, will the solution you chose be able to keep up without impacting performance?
The concept of scalability is broad, so let's boil it down to the three key areas that are most essential for support solutions.
As your business grows, the number of support sessions will also grow. Your remote support product should be able to grow with your business. It’s enough to hire, train, and manage staff at a pace to keep up with the growth of your business. On top of that, support team management shouldn’t have to worry if their tools can keep up. Not only should your team be able to support an unlimited number of sessions, but your agents should be able to support multiple sessions at a time, so your team can truly provide support to every end-user, when they need it, where they need it.
The more customers you have, the more support agents you’ll need to bring on. SaaS solutions are quicker to deploy and grow, making it possible to bring on new agents without having to worry about scaling your infrastructure. This means no downtime for rollouts while you're on-boarding new employees. However, if your SaaS remote support solution is a “pay per seat" model, ensure that the number of seats your organization has can handle the maximum number of users, technicians and customers.
Imagine, your agents are hitting their peak, the customers are flooding in with incoming tickets and all of the sudden you get the dreaded "error message". The system has been overloaded. A good remote support solution must be able to handle the heaviest user and customer loads without impacting performance. Make sure your solution uses proven techniques to avoid these situations, such as separating customer's data loads, in order to keep your agents reliably connected.

A woman has sadly died in a flat fire on Clarence Avenue in Lambeth.
Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters and officers attended the fire, which damaged half of a flat on the forth floor of a seven storey building. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus found a woman in the flat and she was pronounced dead by London Ambulance Service at the scene.
Three further women were rescued from the building by firefighters using fire escape hood, they were treated by LAS at the scene.
Fire escape hoods provide members of the public with up to 15 minutes protection from four of the main fire gases (carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride and acrolein) and can be worn by conscious or unconscious people. If more than 15 minutes protection is required then another hood can be given to each wearer. They do not provide oxygen but temporarily filter toxic smoke to make breathing easier.
The Brigade were called at 1655 and the fire was under control by 1901. Crews from Brixton, Tooting, Battersea and Clapham fire stations attended the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Kenya’s wonderful National Museum, housed in an imposing building amid lush, leafy grounds just outside the centre, has a good range of cultural and natural-history exhibits. Aside from the exhibits, check out the life-size fibreglass model of pachyderm celebrity Ahmed, the massive elephant that became a symbol of Kenya at the height of the 1980s poaching crisis. He was placed under 24-hour guard by President Jomo Kenyatta; he’s in the inner courtyard next to the shop.
The museum’s permanent collection is entered via the Hall of Kenya, with some ethnological exhibits such as the extraordinary Kalenjin cloak made from the skins of Sykes Monkeys and a mosaic map of Kenya made from the country's butterflies. But this is a mere prelude. In a room off this hall is the Birds of East Africa exhibit, a huge gallery of at least 900 stuffed specimens. In an adjacent room is the Great Hall of Mammals, with dozens of stuffed specimens. Off the mammals room is the Cradle of Humankind exhibition, the highlight of which is the Hominid Skull Room – an extraordinary collection of skulls that describes itself as ‘the single most important collection of early human fossils in the world’.
Upstairs, the Historia Ya Kenya display is an engaging journey through Kenyan and East African history. Well presented and well documented, it offers a refreshingly Kenyan counterpoint to colonial historiographies. Also on the 1st floor, the Cycles of Life room is rich in ethnological artefacts from Kenya’s various tribes and ethnic groups, while at the time of writing there was also an exhibition (which may become permanent) of Joy Adamson's paintings covering Kenya's tribes.
If you’re keen to really get under the skin of the collection (or the adjoining Snake Park), consider a tour with one of the volunteer guides who linger close to the entrance of both the National Museum and the Snake Park. Tours are available in English, French and possibly other languages. There’s no charge for guide services, but a tip is appropriate. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Night Fever Collection
As the queen and king of Avant-Garde, Draga & Aurel are constantly designing their ways into our hearts. Their signature style graces homes everywhere, as decorators try to achieve their innovative, experimental look with pieces from their collections. Now, get ready to add even more Draga & Aurel pieces to your cart— they are debuting their new design collection in collaboration with Essential Home and DelightFULL, titled “Night Fever.”

While many designers choose to stay within the familiar confines of what they deem marketable, some designers have surrealistic convictions that put them outside the mainstream. Therefore Draga&Aurel didn’t keep up with trends; they were immune to them while creating these unique design pieces.
The pandemic crisis taught us to see our home in a different way. Night Fever collection will show us how it’s possible to put together a vibrant and eclectic environment without going out to a disco party!
While designing the new Essential Home and DelightFULL collection, Draga&Aurel drew inspiration from the late Seventies to Eighties— an era that brought together some of the most dynamic and avant-garde thinkers and makers across the world. Draga&Aurel has created a mix of patterns, materials, colors, shapes, and textures that express the desire to somehow break free from the superstructures, process the feelings of a past time, and bring back something beautiful to behold and contemplate.
In particular, the collection pays homage to the nightclubs of those years, which became a symbol of free expression, creativity, hedonism, rebellion, and emancipation from the mainstream culture. It was an encounter between different minds and souls under the glittering lights of the dance floor.

Cotto Arena Stonage Tile Texture exudes a timeless charm, offering a robust and versatile surface solution that harmoniously blends with various design aesthetics. This premium tile stone texture elevates the ambiance with its distinctive warm earthy tones ranging from subdued terracotta to more radiant shades of sienna, mimicking natural stone's inherent richness and depth. Cotto Arena Stonage Texture boasts a clean, smooth surface, highlighting subtle variations in tone and detail that replicate the organic patterns found in quarried stone. These fine details include a delicate interplay of light and shadow, with minute speckling and gentle veining contributing to its realistic appearance. The accurately rendered surface also features slight gradations and texture variations, giving each tile a unique character while maintaining a unified look when laid out across a broader area. When depicted as damaged, this texture may display cracks, chips, or wear and tear, demonstrating the durability and longevity of the material in a realistic 3D model. The distressed characteristic could include erosion patterns or weathering effects, indicating its resilience against environmental elements over time. Cotto Arena Stonage Tile Texture might be overlaid with smudges, stains, or accumulated grime, suggesting the wear of everyday use. This patina can lend authenticity to historical or high-traffic settings within a 3D rendering, showcasing the tile's capacity to retain its underlying beauty despite life’s messiness. When the tile texture is portrayed as clean, it returns to its initial state of understated elegance, gleaming subtly under lighting effects, and proving easy to maintain a testament to its practicality for spaces seeking both beauty and functionality.

Let’s get this right up front: I miss River City Tire. Nice folks selling good tires at fair prices, and whenever that stupid little flat-tire icon lit up on my dashboard, I could run by and get a free pressure check with a friendly smile.
But River City Tire is gone. There’s no use crying bitter tears over that. And I have to admit that the new building that replaced the old urban-grunge industrial facility fits nicely in to the upscale urban scene that promoters have dubbed The Avenue.
