Participants in our pilot group found that by the end of the course:
- They desired sex more (23% increase)
- They initiated sex twice as often (some of the first time)
- They had sex more often (53% increase)
- They were more content with their sex life (38% increase)
- Their sexual confidence more than doubled
100% of course participants felt it was worth the investment, both in terms of time and cost.
Our pilot group consisted of wives whose age ranged from 29 to 57 and had been married between 7 and 25 years.
What is the course like? How long does it take?
The course takes about 3 months to complete. We’ve spread it out to be a lesson or challenge every 3 days so that it won’t require reformatting your life around it, but will also give you enough time between the lessons to put them into practice.
Each module contains 3 lessons and a challenge at the end. With each lesson, there’s a quick worksheet, the lesson itself, and then a discussion question prompt for the forum. It’s your choice to participate in the forum or not, but we find that wives who do get more out of the course.
At the end of each module, there is a slightly longer worksheet to help you reflect on what you’ve learned and to give us some feedback as well as bench-mark any changes you’ve noticed.
The lessons are all in text, so no worries about kids listening in, but aren’t overly long each lesson, so if you’re not much of a reader, you’ll be fine.
If you have any further questions, feel free to email [email protected]. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Tai Wesley is headed to the Netherlands. He has apparently signed a 1-year deal with EiffelTowers Den Bosch, an apparent powerhouse in Dutch basketball.
Here’s a Google translation of the official announcement.
EiffelTowers adds a new power forward to the selection. The American signed a contract for one season.
Wesley played the past four seasons for the Utah State Aggies in Western Athletic Conference. The 2.02-meter power forward came in his final years to averages of 14.8 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. “Wesley is a real threat in the low post,” said Frederick manager. “He will give us more scoring power under the basket and give the rebound he is capable. Together with Van Paassen, Wessels and Van der List, he is a very balanced frontcourt. ”
Wesley won in his tenure at Utah State four times the championship of the Western Athletic Conference and two times the WAC Tournament. Last season, he urged the Aggies until the second round of the NCAA Tournament before taking off to be Kentucky. Wesley was the match scorer with 18 points.
Interestingly enough, Tai apparently led the Aggies to a second round loss to Kentucky in the big dance last year. 🙂 | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

UK AAA replica Patek Philippe is generally regarded as the top brand among all major Swiss watch manufacturers. Why is this true? Rüdiger Bucher, Editorial Director of WatchTime’s German sister magazine Chronos, lays out seven reasons for Swiss fake Patek Philippe’s success in this latest visit to the WatchTime archives.
Reason #1: Expertise
Swiss made replica Patek Philippe has mastered every aspect of fine watchmaking – from the hand-winding two-hand watch and “standard” complications with functions like an annual calendar or second time zone, to sophisticated masterpieces with minute repeaters, tourbillons, and split-seconds chronographs. Masterful artisan craftsmanship goes hand-in-hand with the use of modern, high-tech machinery.
Reason #2: Tradition
This level of expertise cannot be achieved overnight. Patek Philippe replica for sale UK has been in existence for 177 years and has produced replica watches online uk continuously during this time, resulting in an immense amount of experience that is passed on from one generation of watchmaker to the next.
Reason #3: Vision for the future
Although 1:1 fake Patek Philippe has such a storied tradition, the manufacture is not bound to its past. On the one side, the company maintains the values of the traditional art of watchmaking while investing greatly in the use of new materials, technologies and production methods. The brand has also made a conscious choice to create new designs like the 2015 pilots’ watch, the top super clone Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Travel Time (which we cover in detail here).
Reason #4: Quality
Quality is the most precious resource at high quality replica Patek Philippe. The entire company is designed to support it. With the introduction of the Patek Philippe Seal in 2008 the company imposed rigid standards that often exceed normal industry standards. But the commitment to quality does not just apply to the best copy watches themselves. UK Swiss movement fake Patek Philippe places the highest standards on employee training – from the watchmaker to the salesperson, including customer support that extends from sales to service.
Reason #5 for the success of Swiss copy Patek Philippe: Perfect decoration
The quality of hand-applied decoration in the manufacturing process is high, both in technique and style. About 40 to 60 steps are needed even for inconspicuous parts like wheels. Artisan processes such as enamel painting, extremely delicate engraving, the setting of precious stones and inlays all play a significant role. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Without a doubt, the address of the President of Uzbekistan to the participants of the 46th session of the UN Human Rights Council has become one of the most important political events in the modern history of our state. For the first time, the leader of independent Uzbekistan spoke at the main human rights platform in the world, thereby indicating the country’s firm commitment to the goals and principles of the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
During his speech, Shavkat Mirziyoyev raised a number of topical issues on the international human rights agenda, identified the priorities of our country during the period of membership in the UNHRC. At the same time, the central place in the speech of the head of Uzbekistan was once again taken by the theme of the rights of youth, which the President consistently promotes within the framework of international platforms such as the SCO, CIS, UN, the Cooperation Council of Turkic-speaking States. In particular, the attention of the world community was again focused on the importance of adopting the Convention on the Rights of Youth and readiness was expressed to present its draft at the UN ECOSOC Youth Forum, the main platform for discussing the needs of young people in the world, in April this year. At the same time, it was proposed to establish the institution of the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and to hold a World Conference on Youth Rights in Uzbekistan under the auspices of the UN.
And this is no accident. At present, youth is turning into a leading force that determines social, political and economic processes, the trajectory of the further development of countries around the world. According to experts, today the number of young people has reached an unprecedented level - 1.8 billion people. or 23% of the world’s population. Moreover, 90% of them live in developing countries.
In turn, Central Asia is the “youngest region” in the world with an average age of 27.6 years.
Nevertheless, young people, one of the most vulnerable social groups, continue to face difficulties and obstacles in realizing their fundamental rights. Thus, one in five young people is unemployed and cannot get an education, and one in four suffers from violence. Unemployment among young people is 3 times more common than among adults. More than 145 million young people at work live in extreme poverty.
Moreover, the coronavirus pandemic has highlighted a number of omissions and shortcomings in global youth policy. As a result of the massive lockdown, unemployment, problems with access to education, food, and treatment among young people have worsened, as a result of which other socio-political problems have worsened.
On the other hand, the recent trend of “rejuvenation” of protest actions taking place in the world speaks of the growing dissatisfaction of young people with discrimination, infringement, and restriction of their rights to participate in governing the state and solving socially significant problems.
In this light, the initiatives of the President of Uzbekistan in the field of strengthening the rights of youth are more than ever in demand to strengthen the confidence of young people in the world community. It is noteworthy in this regard that the head of our country seeks to solve the problems of young people in direct dialogue with them, to listen and hear their aspirations and needs, to really take into account the interests of the younger generation in the international legal act being developed. The willingness to present the draft Convention on Youth Rights at the 10th ECOSOC Youth Forum was a clear evidence of this.
This is also evidenced by the initiative of the leader of Uzbekistan to establish the institution of the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, which should become an effective mechanism for ensuring that UN member states comply with their international obligations to protect the interests and rights of youth. Although at present there are already 40 special rapporteurs working on various issues of international importance, there is no UN mandate responsible for promoting the rights of youth. It is typical for the leader of our state to put forward initiatives and propose ways of their practical implementation.
The President’s initiative to hold a World Conference on Youth Rights in Uzbekistan is also very relevant. It is designed to emphasize the indissolubility of the world’s youth, to familiarize our young men and women with the achievements of their peers, to spur their interest in self-development, taking into account the latest trends that ensure international progress.
In general, it can be stated without exaggeration that the demand for the initiatives of the head of Uzbekistan to promote the rights of young people and ensure their interests is dictated by the realities of the modern world. Today Sh. Mirziyoyev, in my opinion, personifies the voice of the global youth community, becomes a world leader in promoting and strengthening the rights of the younger generation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Because life is ever-interesting, I ride along as though this road is being laid by a child with more whim than plan. Just when I anticipate a right, the hairpin left speeds me along on two wheels and a prayer. Somehow it all works out, though. I guess I'm still discovering that I'm not really driving after all.
Some of you will remember my wonderful artist father. In March, he had to go on ahead where we cannot follow just now. He was surrounded by everyone who loves him, and when the inevitable knocks, truly what more can you ask?
Stabb and I have not built that dream house, instead, we turtle on...our dream backpacked along wherever we are. The farmhouse table can wait a little longer, and though I admit to sometimes casting a yearning glance to the trees, this girl can also wait a while to look out of that treehouse window tomorrow keeps promising me.
We are hunkering down in a quaint little cottage, helping mom with her honey-dos and the poignant quiet left behind by the loss of her sweetheart of 50 years. she is the bravest person I know.
One of my beautiful daughters is studying in Fiji this semester, investing in her dream to become a photo journalist for National Geographic. My eldest, my miracle girl, continues to magic the world with her renewed self and my amazed gratitude.
The ministry continues to meet needs, spilling food abundantly into lives somehow...even when the shelves seem bare. God's own magic show for those of us standing in surprised awe always, though we should know better by now.
My husband and I love one another freshly each day. It sounds sing-songy and trite, but feels like grace. I miss some of you more than you know. Let me know that you are well.
I'm sorry for the absence of your father but I trust in your belief you'll be together again, later on. Sounds like he left the way most of us would like to do best.
That whimsical driver sneaks in with me every little bit too, I'm learning to just enjoy the ride and close my eyes and place my trust in a higher power during the scary parts.
Perhaps that dream house needs a bit more dreaming before it's just right but it still lives so hope lives too.
Great news about your daughters, they sound like a beautiful promise for tomorrow.
Glad your work is going well and I hope folks are more generous than ever this year.
I'm very happy the two of you are on that interesting road together it makes me smile (truly)
You are both sorely missed around here, just so you know it. :)
Finding this has given my day a uplift. :)
I am sorry about your father, nothing like that loss as you feel it in your heart and soul.
Please give those you love one extra hug, for you and your own peace.
Sending you a hug.
I remember... the feel of thick paper under your fingers, and someone who loved that you were excited by his joy.
I also remember charcoal, and the feel of shading with it. That's imported from my own past. It's funny how your brain does that.
One day I should draw with you. I'm not much good, but that hardly matters. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it. (2 Kings 19:32)
Neither did Sennacherib molest the city. He had boasted loudly, but he could not carry out his threats. The Lord is able to stop the enemies of His people in the very act. When the lion has the lamb between his jaws, the great Shepherd of the sheep can rob him of his prey. Our extremity only provides an opportunity for a grander display of divine power and wisdom.
In the case before us, the terrible foe did not put in an appearance before the city which he thirsted to destroy. No annoying arrow could he shoot over the walls, and no besieging engines could he put to work to batter down the castles, and no banks could he cast up to shut in the inhabitants. Perhaps in our case also the Lord will prevent our adversaries from doing us the least harm. Certainly He can alter their intentions or render their designs so abortive that they will gladly forego them. Let us trust in the Lord and keep His way, and He will take care of us. Yea, He will fill us with wondering praise as we see the perfection of His deliverance.
Let us not fear the enemy till he actually comes, and then let us trust in the Lord. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
ESL stands for English as a Second Language. Every student fills out an enrollment packet every year which includes a home language component. If the student speaks another language at home or the student is exposed to a language other than English at home, then the student is given a language test.
The language test, or screener, is called W-APT. It assesses the student's English proficiency in speaking, listening, writing, and reading. It will show if the student needs additional help in one or more of these areas. The ESL teacher, in conjunction with the classroom teacher, will determine the appropriate ESL services for each student based on his/her language needs.
Verona offers a variety of ESL services. They include:

Sooke is a small ocean side town nestled among towering, rugged rainforests and unspoiled beaches of the Pacific Ocean coastline.
Only an hour from Victoria and just 20 minutes from the West Shore, it offers visitors a true West Coast experience. Once they get there however, they will see it has as much to offer outside as it does inside artist’s studios.
The rural community offers a wilderness that is equally rugged and gentle. It is a place where everyone can find their pace and discover nature and its wildlife from land to ocean. A paradise for hikers, the Sooke region offers hundreds of kilometres of hiking, walking and cycling trails from easy strolls on Whiffen Spit or the Sooke Potholes to more challenging ones such as the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail and the West Coast Trail.
The Strait of Juan de Fuca at Sooke’s doorstep makes for great fishing for some of the largest salmon and halibut year round, exciting scuba diving during the winter in the kelp-free crystal clear water of Sooke Basin and in the more challenging marine park of Race Rocks. Visitors can explore the ocean on whale watching tours, catching glimpses of orcas, grey whales, humpbacks and more from April to October. There are opportunities for leisurely kayak paddles in the Sooke Basin, observing, photographing the flying life of blue herons, bald eagles or the curious seals following you. For the seekers of a more intense thrill, a slide down zipline at Adrenaline Zipline Tours at 60 kilometres per hour through coastal rainforest treetops is a must.
While it is possible to spend your entire time outdoors in this immense natural reserve, the other side of what makes Sooke unique is its multifaceted art and culture.
The beauty and pristine wilderness of the Sooke Region is an inspiration to many local artists. Despite its small town stature and somewhat unassuming and deceiving appearance, Sooke has a very active performing art group in the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra. For more than 20 years, every August, Sooke’s large community of artists, artisans and craft people take part in one of the largest juried art shows on the island, The Sooke Fine Arts Show. Numerous art studios and galleries are open and boast world-class pieces of art from a 2,000-year-old burl love seat to intricate stain and fusion glass works and pottery. Authentic First Nations art is also present and a reminder of the first habitants of the area.
Artistic influences can be found at local tables too. With its small population, Sooke has a large number of nationally- and internationally-known restaurants where the flavours of seasonal West Coast cuisine can be tasted.
A few original passionate entrepreneurs have come to Sooke seeking the pristine clean waters and the pure climate it offers. One of the first meaderies in British Columbia, Tugwell Creek Honey Farm and Meadery opened here and Seaflora, a certified organic seaweed company, is one of the fastest growing companies started in Sooke. The T’Sou-ke Nation has been at the forefront of innovation and its community has the largest solar installation in Canada.
Sooke has also always demonstrated an incredible spirit of accomplishing great projects with volunteers. The numbers of volunteers and their strength in making things happen in Sooke is remarkable. Our wonderful climate of wilderness, art, vast spaces and clean air may be one of the major factors to keep this spirit alive.
Sooke is a town growing at a fast pace. It is one of the wildest playgrounds close to a large urban population. For a visitor to discover all of the best things to do in Sooke, a stop at the local Sooke Region Museum is a must. It is a small museum with a very large selection of information through photographs, movies and great displays of how Sooke was a long time ago and all the things to discover of what Sooke is now.
Sooke Green Initiatives
Explore the splendor of old growth forest in Sooke at Avatar Grove. The 50-hectare stand has a reputation for having some of the gnarliest trees on the Island — including a red cedar sporting a 12-foot diametre burl. Ancient Forest Alliance is dedicated to promoting the site as a regional eco-tourism resource and will be hosting monthly hikes to the grove this summer.

Avian influenza is a big concern, and rightly so. It is highly contagious among birds, specifically domestic poultry, waterfowl, shore birds, and raptors.
Which begs the question: if avian influenza is highly contagious am I at risk of getting it? Probably not. It is very rare to see the transmission of this influenza from birds to humans. But it has been found in mammals that have eaten infected birds, such as bears, red foxes, skunks, and bobcats. So an outbreak of the bird flu within a domestic poultry flock is taken very seriously. You may have noticed when shopping for chicken or eggs at the grocery store that the prices have gone up.
Another question you may be asking is: should I take down my bird feeder during an outbreak to prevent the spread among wild birds? According to the All About Birds article Avian Influenza Outbreak 2022-2023: Should you Take Down Your Bird Feeders?: “Transmission to songbirds and other typical feeder visitors has been low (less than 2% of all cases reported in wild birds), although this may change with increased testing or changes to the virus. That means there is currently low risk of an outbreak among wild songbirds, and no official recommendation to take down feeders unless you also keep domestic poultry, according to the National Wildlife Disease Program.” However, it is recommended that bird feeders be cleaned out regularly to prevent the spread of diseases in general.

Funding from NHS Charities will be used to give a £50,000 makeover to the Chapel/Multi-faith room at Walsall Manor Hospital.
Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust’s Charitable Funds Committee agreed that a bid could be put together by Fundraising Manager Georgie Westley and Matron Lead for Quality David Powell to give the neglected space some much-needed TLC.
Thanks to the successful bid, the aim is to create a better private prayer area, a more appealing worship area and to make the Chapel/Multi-faith room a more welcoming environment.
David said: “The Chapel/Multifaith areas are incredibly important to the trust as they support staff, patients, visitors, volunteers and the community.
“But we recognise that the area does need a makeover, and has done for some time, and are extremely grateful to receive this funding from NHS Charities for the project.”
Georgie added: “People’s mental health and wellbeing is just as important as their physical health – particularly after the challenging last few months – and to be able to provide an improved, safe and comfortable environment means a lot to us.”
Joe Fielder is the trust’s Chaplaincy Team Leader and joined Walsall Healthcare last month.
He said: “There’s no doubt that these areas need some TLC and, as David says, we are delighted to have been successful in our bid to NHS Charities. I’m really grateful for the hard work of the former Team Leader Alison Coles for getting the bid together – our prayers have worked!

You remember how I said I was almost jealous of Hubby that day he stayed home to recover from food poisoning? Yeah, it really isn't that fun.
Is it just me, or is the incidence of food poisoning on the rise? Or maybe we're just easy targets right now since we're not getting enough sleep. Or maybe our containment procedures actually work and it is just your average run of the mill tummy bug that my fastidious hand washing and hand sanitizing have kept me from passing on to someone else in the family.
Last night's fun was exacerbated by the continuance of Petunia's sleep freakout, which has now expanded to include her first wake up in the middle of the night. I have found a way to get her to go to sleep without a lot of crying, though- sports. If I hold her sitting on my lap facing out, and gently bounce her while we watch sports on TV, she will eventually put her thumb in her mouth and relax enough that I can get her to go to sleep. She fights it- she'll settle back against my chest, and then sit bolt upright, clearly fighting sleep. But eventually, sleep wins. We stumbled on this on Monday night. We had some friends over to watch the New Zealand-Wales match that Hubby had recorded over the weekend. Petunia did her usual refusal to go to sleep routine, so I brought her out and sat her on my lap while I watched the first part of the game. And damned if she didn't calm down and go to sleep!
So last night, when it was after 8 and Petunia wouldn't go to sleep, I brought her out and told Hubby to start the Australia-England game. And damned if it didn't work again!
It is not just rugby, though. This morning, Petunia was cranky and in need of a nap (probably because she'd been up screaming at us for an hour in the middle of the night). Hubby had the USA-Algeria soccer match on (one of Pumpkin's day care teachers had taught her how to chant "USA! USA!" which was pretty cute. We'll have to work on the "Kiiii-wiiii" chant next). Petunia settled in and fell asleep.
So tonight, we'll break out the South Africa game much earlier.
In other Petunia news, when she isn't screaming in refusal to sleep, she is a lot of fun right now. I have a mole on my chest that is exposed by the necklines of most of my shirts, and when I hold her facing me, she likes to try to pick it up. I find this unbelievably cute, and feel a little sorry for her with her unachievable quest. She's crawling around and exploring everything. Pumpkin is going crazy- "Noooo! I don't want Petunia to touch that!" We're trying to teach her that anything she doesn't want Petunia to touch needs to live in her room or up high. We're making slow progress on that.
At least my stomach feels better and I got to take a 3 hour nap this morning. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Manage your growth
Systemization Consultant Vancouver Canada
When a business is small, it is often easier to maintain a high level of quality and consistency. If a problem occurs, people can work together to resolve it before it becomes a significant issue for the customer.
But often as a business grows, it becomes more complex. This complexity typically involves more people, more resources, and more challenges, making it increasingly difficult for everyone to maintain high standards and resolve issues quickly.
This puts stress on the business, creating an unhealthy work environment, and inhibiting growth.
But there is a solution.
To scale your business, it must first be systemized. This is the process of transforming it into a self-sustaining organization that operates in a consistent and predictable manner, whether you (leadership) are there or not.
The value pyramid
Specialist Process Consultants in Vancouver Canada
The Value Pyramid is a framework for systemizing any organization. It defines the four stages in maturity that a business must move through to become fully self-sustainable, and consequently, highly scalable.
Level One – Owner Driven
This is where all organizations begin. At this stage the business is still highly dependent on the owner. Scalability is nearly impossible because growth is limited by the owner’s individual capacity.
Level Two – People Driven
As a business matures, it takes on key people who fill major roles. Scalability increases as the business becomes less reliant on the owner, but is still at risk, should any of these people leave unexpectedly.
Level Three – Systems Driven
At this stage, policies, procedures, and metrics provide a framework to ensure core operations remain consistent. Scalability is significantly enhanced because the negative impacts of growth are now effectively managed.
Level Four – Culture Driven
Ultimate scalability is achieved when a business has a strong team of people dedicated to continuous improvement. At this stage, the business is systemized, but employees are now empowered to continuously improve those systems.
The WARDELL METHOD is a comprehensive approach for guiding your organization to the top of the Value Pyramid.

Oregon-based PacifiCorp and state and federal agencies have agreed to extend talks over relicensing eight US hydroelectric power dams on the North Umpqua river. The negotiations, which began two years ago, have been extended until 15 December in the hope that an agreement can be reached. The 50-year licences for dam operation expired in 1997 and are being extended on an annual basis.
Some of the laws that have come into place since the dams were built in the 1940s are forcing the utility to negotiate ways to reduce the impact on salmon and steelhead before they can get a new federal operating licence. However, environmentalists have demanded that PacifiCorp remove the Soda Springs dam, the farthest downstream of the dams, to allow salmon and steelhead to reach 13km of spawning habitat on the North Umpqua.
The utility has maintained that the dam is vital to the efficient operation of the hydro power system. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Recessed Can LED Bulbs for Basement Lighting
What could I put in my ceiling, which is currently cans? And do you have an idea for how to light "fake windows" - I've read about 2'x4' LED panels. I'd like natural-looking light in the basement.
For recessed can lighting in homes, we typically recommend the Ultra High 95 CRI E26 BR30 LED Bulb for Home & Residential.
These products are dimmable and offer a high CRI of 95+, which can make quite the difference in low-light installation areas such as basements.

You know what’s cuter than watching Taylor Swift cheer on Travis Kelce? For one thing, Doodlebug. For another, Wendy. For another, Yana.
If you’re wondering who we’re talking about, we are referring to the All-Stars that will be facing off on Super Bowl LVIII Sunday.
No, these players aren’t on the San Francisco 49ers or the Baltimore Ravens. Instead, they all play for North Shore Animal League America.
That’s right: The fluffiest, sweetest athletes the world has ever seen are gearing up for the Great American Rescue Bowl.
Airing on the Great American Family Channel on Sunday, Feb. 12 10:30 a.m. ET (encore 4 p.m. ET), dogs, cats and kittens will be competing in the annual Great American Rescue Bowl. (If you cut the cord and no longer have cable, you can watch GAC Family on Hulu Live TV, Sling, Fubo or Philo.)
Much like Animal Planet’s iconic Puppy Bowl, the Great American Rescue Bowl features live feed of adorable animals battling it out on the gridiron. (By battling it out, we mean batting around crinkly mice and playfully pouncing on one another, of course!)
The Great American Rescue Bowl will again be hosted by animal advocate and North Shore Animal League America board member Beth Stern. She will be joined by TV personality Brian Balthazar and Emmy-award winning news anchor Dan Mannarino.
The animals playing in the Great American Rescue Bowl have already been adopted, but there are so many more deserving pets looking for their “fur”-ever home. North Shore Animal League America is a no-kill organization that believes all animals are worthy of life. You can see their adoptable animals here, or support their important work by donating or becoming a member.
Watch a preview of the Great American Rescue Bowl on YouTube below:
Be sure to check out the All-Stars who will be competing in the Great American Rescue Bowl. You can view all the players’ “trading cards” (and even download and print them!) here.

We hate to ruin your festive cheer, but it turns out that ordering a pint of caramel-flavored hot chocolate topped with whipped cream may not actually be that good for you.
That's the fairly unsurprising finding of a British survey that warns of the high sugar content of festive hot drinks offered by chains including Starbucks and Costa Coffee.
It found that Starbucks' venti-sized Signature Caramel Hot Chocolate with whipped cream and oat milk contains the equivalent of 23 teaspoons of sugar, and 758 calories. Venti cups are 20 ounces (590 ml).
The same chain's gingerbread venti-sized latte was also found to contain 14 teaspoons of sugar and 523 calories per portion.
Some chains, including Costa, were praised for cutting the sugar content of some of their seasonal offerings.
Public Health England (PHE) has set sugar reduction targets of up to 20% by 2020, but the survey found some high street chains have actually increased the sugar content in their festive drinks, compared to previous years.
Action on Sugar, the group behind the study, is calling on the UK's next government to extend its soft drinks industry levy to sugary milk drinks.
The government announced the new levy in 2016 as part of an effort to reduce childhood obesity, projecting that it would raise £520 million ($632 million) in additional revenue.
Its introduction had an immediate effect , with several leading soft drinks brands lowering their sugar content.
"Coffee shops and cafes need to take much greater steps to reduce the levels of sugar and portion sizes, promote lower sugar alternatives and stop pushing indulgent extras at the till," Holly Gabriel, a nutritionist at Action on Sugar, said in a statement.
"The findings are deeply concerning, especially given that many children also consume these festive sugary drinks which are not only bad for their overall health but also their dental health," added Dr Saul Konviser of the Dental Wellness Trust charity.
CNN has contacted Starbucks for comment. On its website,
the company notes
that a proportion of the sugar contained in its drinks comes from lactose, a naturally-occurring part of the milk they contain. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
ERLANGER, Ky. — Part of a major interstate highway interchange in Northern Kentucky has reopened after a tanker truck overturned on the roadway Monday afternoon.
Erlanger Fire and EMS said crews began offloading the tanker at about 6:15 p.m. and got it upright by 9 p.m.
Final update: Truck is now upright. Highway should be cleared soon with traffic allowed to finally pass through pic.twitter.com/vAOM2lmkqg

Emergency crews estimated the eastbound and westbound ramps from Interstate 275 to southbound Interstate 71/75 in Erlanger would remain closed anywhere from 10 to 12 hours, a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesperson said in a news release. Officials did not indicate what caused the tanker to overturn or what it was carrying at the time of the crash.
KYTC encouraged those needing the westbound ramp to detour north on I-71/75 to Buttermilk Pike at Exit 186 and then to re-enter I-71/75 southbound. For those needing the eastbound ramp, exit I-275 at Exit 4 for KY 212/Airport Connector. Take the Airport Connector to Donaldson Road to then re-enter I-71/75 southbound.
The incident did not directly impact the nearby Brent Spence Bridge closure-related detour from I-71/75 northbound to I-275 eastbound.

If you’ve problems with your brain, kidneys, liver, lungs, or your heart and nervous system, prescription drugs may be more or perhaps less risky for you. Some prescription drugs won’t do anything bad to help you, though they might possibly not work and they need to. Or maybe they could make you feel even worse. It uses a small battery to power up a ceramic heating coil inside a cartridge which can hold the liquid or perhaps wax material you vape.
A vape pen is the most popular sort of portable vaping device. These pens often have adjustable temperatures between 350?F and 450?F, that will help control exactly how much vapor you are taking in at any moment. Several of the positive aspects of vaping weed include: No combustion, so there is simply no tar or carcinogens to stress about. Easier on the lungs of yours. Nonetheless, there are also some downsides to vaping weed: Requires battery power (which means a supplementary expense).
What are a few advantages and disadvantages of vaping weed? More effective delivery technique, meaning less waste. Discreet, affordable and portable. There are numerous vape oils on the market, each one with assorted potencies. Vaping weed is a great strategy to ingest cannabis without the harsh smoke which usually comes with smoking it. Which vape oil is very potent? The highest potency vape oils generally come in concentrates and tinctures. These kinds of products are usually used by people who are looking for a higher dose of cannabis.
The battery life is limited depending on your device. Might be tricky to master initially, especially in case you’re used to smoking joints or bongs. A number of examples of these high potency products include tinctures and shatter concentrates. Drug interactions can be better. For instance, taking a blood thinner with warfarin can up the effectiveness of that blood thinner. Taking one drug with an alternative can occasionally have a positive impact on your treatment.
You’ll need to go for that into account when utilizing a blood thinner or perhaps any other medication. And what about potency? There are a lot of different factors to consider when you’re searching for the top cartridge to buy. That is perfect for cali thc vape pen oil cartridges, CBD oil cartridges, or perhaps CBD THC blend cartridges? All of these are important things to take into consideration prior to making your purchase. Or even maybe even a hybrid strain which combines both Indica and Sativa effects?
For instance, don’t you want to have a Sativa or Indica strain? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Have I mentioned that I’m a certified EFT practitioner?
Some of you know this. Others are probably thinking, WTH is that? And why does she think I want to know this?
Let me explain.
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It’s also called tapping because we literally tap on our bodies, following a pattern of meridian points, while talking out loud to clear troubling past experiences and shift limiting beliefs.
It’s been around since the 1980s and there are 100s of studies showing that it works. But at first glance, it looks weird.
It looks like there is no way in heck it can work.
But I promise you, it does work.
I was on my own personal journey for almost two decades and had made some progress. Do you know when it went stratospheric? When I started tapping.
It was 2018 and I had just been laid off. I decided to get certified in EFT tapping out of the blue (I didn’t do it very much at all before then). How I feel about myself and what I’m capable of have dramatically shifted ever since.
Why does it matter?
- Because tapping can help you release that time when the teacher embarrassed you in front of the class and made you hate to be seen.
- It can help you let go of all of the criticism from parents and teachers that kicked off a habit of people pleasing and not being able to say “no” because you’re trying to avoid being criticized.
- It can transform your need to be perfect to prove your worth because along the way you decided it was unacceptable to make mistakes.
These types of beliefs lead you to procrastinate, and procrastinating means you make less money, create discord in relationships, ignore your health (physical and mental), and/or never reach your fullest potential or live your best life.
And this weird-looking, funny-sounding tool can help with all of that.
To see it in action, here’s a video on how to tap. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The British Conservation Alliance (BCA) is a new student-run organisation, founded on free-market, pro-enterprise principles towards environmental conservation.
”We don’t pretend that we have the magical solution, but we do firmly have an unwavering belief that the solution will come from the free market of ideas’’
In the first 24 hours of its launch the BCA managed to reach 21 thousand views on launch video, 500 new followers, 11 applications to join the team, 6 media hits, 1 shoutout in the United States Congress. We had a discussion with Danny Al-Khafaji, who is the Head of Internal Communications.
‘’We launched the BCA, because we felt that there was a gap in the political market for something which advocated free market environmentalism. Whenever is an environmental crisis, for example wildfires in the Amazon, wildfires in California or an earthquake in Philippines, everyone looks towards government for the solution. We instead think that we should be looking to free market, we should be looking towards, free enterprise and entrepreneurs to generate new innovative ideas to combat climate change and improve the environment’’
The British Conservation Alliance , however, doesn’t advocate for getting government out of the solution completely.
‘’We believe that government should play less of a role and there should be more of a healthy balance between the government acting simultaneously as the free market to combat climate change’’
More importantly, there is a great distinction between other pro environmental organizations and the BCA.
‘’We don’t have any political affiliations, the only affiliation we have is to liberty and the idea that organically and from the bottom-up, not the top down, we should be generating new environmental solutions.
We believe that economic and environmental success can go hand in hand; you can have both and it’s possible to harness free market and the beauty of our environment to the benefit of everybody. We don’t think that environmentalism is a left or right wing issue, we think everybody is on the same team when it comes to environmentalism’’
After the Green New Deal in the US and the Paris Agreement is getting obvious that the pro-government advocates seem to dominate the climate change discussion and the BCA was to change the conversation.
‘’Pro government people are definitely dominating the conversation and it’s not because people who disagree with government solutions don’t believe in climate change, it’s just that they don’t have a sufficient voice to voice their concerns and this is why the BCA exists.
We want to give those people a different approach to environment, a voice to express themselves and we ultimately believe, unlike the people who currently dominate the climate debate that we as individuals, we as associations and private organizations and entrepreneurs can do far more than a few climate experts who are bureaucrats and setting the government making our climate policy for us’’
The BCA wants to build partnerships with any environmental organization, that believe that environmentalism requires a different approach. They are going to make an appearance at the conservative party conference and other conferences around the UK in order to promote their ideas and to conceive people that the BCA has a place in the political market today and get more young people on board.
They also plan to make an online education platform to demonstrate on the one hand the benefits of entrepreneurship and how innovation and technology can have a positive impact to the environment; and on the other hand to raise awareness about the science behind climate change, in order to prove wrong the climate change deniers.
‘’The default reaction to every environmental crisis turns to the government, we want to change the national conversation’’
Undoubtedly, the British Conservation Alliance is something we need.

It didn’t take long for President-elect Donald Trump’s election day victory to already send all sorts of reverberations throughout the world.
The victory helped goose the stock market; it triggered all manner of reaction from celebrities, athletes and politicians alike, and it also appeared to have some manner of effect of worldly tensions.
A big reason for those reverberations is because Trump has already made a number of his near-future policy proposals crystal clear, and it’s obvious that Trump’s second stab at president will challenge the norm even more than his first stint.
One major issue that Trump has vowed to tackle is America’s very layered business regulations, which the president-elect has long argued stifles economic growth.
As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, a number of media corporations are salivating at the thought of Trump’s pending deregulation due to how much easier it could be to merge with or acquire other major assets.
“It does feel like a cloud over the industry is lifting here, and we do think some much needed modernization of the regulations will be forthcoming,” Sinclair executive Chris Ripley said.
And that lifting cloud has invigorated Sinclair’s plans, per Ripley: “We intend to participate in that, in the [mergers and acquisitions] in the industry, be it as a buyer as a seller or a merger partner.”
Other executives cited by the Reporter echoed similar eager sentiments.
That is, except for embattled Disney CEO Bob Iger.
According to the head of the House of Mouse, Disney feels that it is big enough as it is and doesn’t need to merge with anything nor acquire anything.
“We, in many respects, have already consolidated. We don’t really need more assets right now, either from a distribution or from a content perspective, to thrive in basically a disruptive media world,” Iger said, who also cited Disney’s growing streaming library post-Fox merger as another reason not to further grow.
For Disney fans hoping for a turnaround in quality, this should be welcome news.
One of the most oft-cited critiques on social media is that Disney’s multimedia portfolio is already quite bloated.
Another reason for Disney’s lack of interest in M&A? The company has a staggering number of projects still coming out.
According to entertainment site IGN, Disney has nine major Star Wars projects in the pipeline.
According to Variety, there are 19 announced Marvel projects on Disney’s slate.

Walmart’s division Sam’s Club announced plans to open around 30 new stores in the US over the next five years, creating new jobs.
It also considers launching five fulfillment and distribution centers this year, the first expected to open in Georgia.
The retail warehouse club will boost its total workforce after the project.
It generally employs nearly 150 to 175 staffers at each of its clubs and around 120 people at its distribution centers.
However, its fulfillment centers normally have more than 1,000 workers.
CEO Kath McLay said the company wants to boost its customer reach, after rapid sales growth and a record-high membership at its current clubs.
She said: “During times like inflation, times when people have pressure on their household budget, it’s a time when Sam’s Club can really show up.”
Ms. McLay said the planned stores will be in high-growth suburban areas where Sam’s Club has few or no stores, but she declined to specify them for competitive reasons.
She did not say how much the club and e-commerce facilities will cost the corporation.
Sam’s Club’s new stores will be around 160,000 square feet in size, which is larger than its average footprint of nearly 140,000 square feet.
They will have more room for a sushi island, a full-service floral area, and a larger waiting area for those who have a hearing or optical appointment.

New clubs will also cater to habits developed by shoppers during the Covid pandemic.
More space will be allocated to online options, including a canopy where drivers can collect orders for curbside pickup and larger coolers to help workers who prepare online orders for delivery.
Walmart recently announced it will hike the starting pay for its store employees in early March as it strikes to hire talent.
This expansion is another major step by Walmart when some economists expect a recession and other retailers brace themselves for a challenging year. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Vegas Night was a big hit on The Masked Singer season 8. In addition to show alum Donny Osmond returning as a guest judge (and performer), the night saw three masks come off.
Here’s what we know about Pi-Rat…
Who is Pi-Rat on The Masked Singer US?
The person behind the Pi-Rat mask was comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham. Dunham has brought his sharp as a tack comedy to live in both live tours and in a number of television specials. He’s known for the puppets who perform with him. Among his more popular puppets are Peanut, Bubba J, Achmed the Dead Terrorist and Larry the Advisor.
Who is Pi-Rat on The Masked Singer US? Song picks
Pi-Rat only sang one song, but he made it a good one with Elton John’s “Crocodile Rock.”
Who is Pi-Raton The Masked Singer US? Show clues
In terms of clues, the clue package wasn’t exactly helpful at the outset. Pi-Rat was said to like plundering and the clue was that he’s "great at multitasking." Carrot Top’s name was mentioned.
The clue question earned the following response: "I think I have something special to share with the world and you’re getting a little taste of it tonight."

The package voiceover yielded the most clues, though. "Hi ho, sin city babies, it’s time to meet the old Pi-Rat. You see, when I was 8 years old, I wasn’t very popular. But I had a unique way of meeting friends. I always got a laugh. So, me and my crew set sail to achieve the impossible dream. And go where few have gone before: Hollywood, California. My family said that I’ve got talent. But everyone else thought I was a total dummy. I proved them wrong, and now I’m the king of all Pi-Rats. It was a triumph. And while I performed in Vegas many late nights, I was never a leading man. But tonight, I’m the star of this show."
Naturally, things like "laugh" and “total dummy," as well as performing in Vegas late at night, provide big hints about Pi-Rat’s identity.
Who is Pi-Rat on The Masked Singer US? Theories
The Masked Singer fans had a number of thoughts about Pi-Rat's identity.

Jeff Dunham will always go with his puppet in every shows including The Masked Singer, but this as Pi-Rat holding his puppet was too very obviously to guess. #TheMaskedSingerSeptember 29, 2022
The judges had a variety of guesses. Osmond actually nailed it by guessing Jeff Dunham. Ken Jeong thought it was Robert Smigel, Robin Thicke picked Dana Carvey, Nicole Sherzinger guessed Terry Fator and Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg picked Steve Carrell.
Watch The Masked Singer US Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox. The latest episodes are available to stream the next day on Hulu.

‘Wash Your Hands’ among essential tips to ensure a healthy festival experience
Unprotected sex, dehydration and sunburn are some of the other threats to the health and safety of festival goers, pharmacists say.
Pharmacist Eamonn Brady says, “Hand washing is the simplest, most effective measure for preventing the spread of germs. Washing your hands, particularly before you eat or after going to the toilet, will help prevent the spread of bacteria and food-borne illnesses. Festival goers should also bring along and use an antiseptic hand gel with a high alcohol content and use it regularly.”
Eamonn also highlighted the risks of unprotected sex and warned festival revellers to plan ahead and bring condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections.
Eamonn are also advises revellers on other areas of concern. “You can bring along a few over-the-counter remedies to have if you become unwell, such as medication for stomach upsets or diarrhoea and antiseptic cream for bites, stings or cuts. It is also very important to apply sunscreen with a high sun protection factor to avoid sunburn,”
Top Festival Tips
- Wash your hands – Wash your hands before you eat, after going to the toilet or handling rubbish. Bring along an antiseptic hand gel and use it regularly.
- Medication – Make sure to bring an adequate supply of any medication you may be taking. If you are an asthma sufferer, don’t forget to bring your inhaler and spare cartridges.
- Dehydration – drink plenty of water. Be careful if you are drinking alcohol as it has a dehydrating effect.
- Sexual Health – Practice safe sex and take precautions. Always use a condom to protect against sexually transmitted infections. Remember, vomiting and diarrhoea can make oral contraceptives ineffective.
- Sun Protection – It doesn’t take much sun to get burned or have sunstroke when you’re outside all day at a festival. Use a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF 20 or higher) and apply it regularly. Choose a sunscreen that protects from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Always wear a hat and sunglasses and protective clothing.
- Stomach Upsets – Ask your pharmacist about appropriate over-the-counter medicines to bring with you in case you get a stomach upset. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration if you are suffering from diarrhoea. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Antibiotics: Are We Winning the Battle Against Superbugs?
In a world where bacteria are constantly evolving and adapting, antibiotics have been our most potent weapon. But are we on the verge of losing this battle against superbugs? Join us as we explore the dramatic plot behind antibiotics, their crucial role in modern healthcare, and the looming threat of antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotics are undoubtedly one of the most remarkable medical discoveries, transforming the way we treat infections. However, in recent times, their effectiveness is being challenged, and the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria threatens to undermine their power.
The Miracle of Antibiotics
Antibiotics, often hailed as miracle drugs, have saved countless lives since their discovery in the early 20th century. They have revolutionized medicine, making once-lethal infections easily treatable. But how do they work, and why are they so essential?
The Antibiotic Arsenal
Antibiotics come in various forms, each with its unique way of combating bacteria. Some disrupt the cell walls of bacteria, while others interfere with their protein synthesis. This diverse arsenal allows doctors to target specific infections effectively.
The War Within
When you take an antibiotic, it embarks on a mission within your body. Picture it as a soldier, infiltrating the bloodstream to locate and neutralize bacteria causing the infection. This action tips the scales in favor of your immune system.
The Shadow of Antibiotic Resistance
While antibiotics have been instrumental in saving lives, their misuse and overuse have given rise to a formidable enemy – antibiotic-resistant bacteria, often referred to as "superbugs."
The Superbug Threat
Superbugs are bacteria that have developed resistance to multiple antibiotics. This resistance makes it increasingly challenging to treat infections and poses a significant threat to public health. These resilient foes have emerged due to factors such as over-prescription, incomplete antibiotic courses, and their use in agriculture.
Responsible Antibiotic Use
To counter antibiotic resistance, it's vital to use these drugs responsibly. Completing the full prescribed course, not sharing antibiotics, and avoiding unnecessary use are essential practices. This ensures antibiotics remain effective against infections.
Antibiotics in Modern Healthcare
Antibiotics play a pivotal role in various aspects of healthcare. Let's explore how they are woven into the fabric of modern medicine.
Before major surgeries, antibiotics are often administered to prevent post-operative infections. This practice has significantly improved the success rates of surgeries and patients' recovery.
Antibiotics have been instrumental in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality rates during childbirth by preventing and treating infections, safeguarding the health of both mothers and newborns.
Current Events and Antibiotics
The world is evolving, and so is our understanding of antibiotics. Let's see how current events and developments intersect with these essential drugs.
The Livestock Dilemma
One ongoing debate involves the use of antibiotics in animal farming. Regulating their use is critical to preventing the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which could pose a threat to both animals and humans.
COVID-19 and Antibiotics
The COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted the importance of antibiotics. While they don't treat viral infections like COVID-19, they are crucial in managing secondary bacterial infections in severe cases, emphasizing their indispensable role in healthcare.
The Conclusion: Our Ongoing Battle
In conclusion, antibiotics remain an indispensable pillar of modern medicine. Their discovery has saved innumerable lives, and their role in healthcare continues to be crucial. However, we stand at a crossroads, with antibiotic resistance threatening to undo the progress we've made.
As responsible users of antibiotics, it is our duty to ensure their continued efficacy. Completing prescribed courses, using them only when necessary, and advocating for responsible use are all steps we can take to protect these valuable resources.
While the battle against superbugs rages on, antibiotics remain one of our most potent allies. Let's use them wisely to secure a healthier and safer future. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

WIAA Performance Factor to Impact 2024-25 Tournament Series Placements
STEVENS POINT, Wis. – The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association competitive balance initiative completed its first full year of applying the performance factor for division placements, which will begin with the 2024-25 sports seasons.
The Classification Committee assembled to discuss and review the performance factor process and criteria in July. The committee recommended no changes to the process or criteria, citing results of performance factor couldn’t be appropriately evaluated until competition results are recorded to fully determine its impact.
An ad hoc committee consisting of 11 superintendents/district administrators, six athletic directors, one principal and one principal/athletic director proposed the performance factor process, which was approved by a 265-115 membership vote at the 2023 Annual Meeting for implementation in 2024-25. The initiative promotes school programs that reach a threshold of tournament success based on a performance point system allocated over a three-year period.
School programs reaching the six-point performance factor threshold during the past three seasons are placed in the division containing the next largest set of enrollments from where the schools’ enrollments would place them for each respective sport other than track & field and swimming & diving–which do not have a team component to advance in the Tournament Series–and sports with only one division. Schools are restricted to moving up a maximum of one division from the previous year’s placement.
This performance factor initiative affords schools the opportunity to request to move down a division with lower enrollments. The Classification Committee reviewed 46 such requests in 2023-24. Eighteen of those requests were approved.
The number of sports programs that have accumulated at least six points to engage a promotion to a division with higher enrollments–if their 2024-25 tournament placement enrollment doesn’t initially move them up a division–was 136 this year. It is noteworthy that 45 of those programs that achieved the six-point threshold competed in Division 1 in 2023-24 and will be promoted only if their enrollment places them in a division with lower enrollments.
The performance factor process also affords schools the opportunity to appeal their promotion to the division with the next largest enrollments based on performance points. Of the 136 programs reaching the three-year, six-point threshold in all respective sports in 2023-24 resulting in a promotion, 46 appeals were submitted. The Classification Committee reviewed and evaluated these appeals with three approvals.
Additional information will be reported by members of the Classification Committee at the Area Meetings in September. For more on the performance factor process, visit the Competitive Balance homepage on the WIAA website.

Thank you for this! For real. I’ve been going back and forth between Clickfunnels, Kajabi, WordPress and all the million systems that you have to piece together and I have a lot of gray hairs from the stress of attempting to piece everything together.

As the leaves change color and there’s no denying that fall is here, many of us find ourselves asking, “where did summer go?” The feeling of fall sneaking up on us out of nowhere is something we want to avoid next year, with 2022 being an important election year. Let’s take a moment to look ahead and see what we need to track and prepare for now.
Important Fall 2022 races include the Wisconsin governor, attorney general, and state legislative seats. Democratic Governor Tony Evers will be looking to repel a challenge from likely GOP nominee and former Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, who just announced her candidacy. All ninety-nine members of the State Assembly are up for election/reelection, as are odd-numbered State Senate districts. Republicans hold solid majorities in both houses, but the drama will surely be dialed up next year since legislators will all be running in districts with updated boundaries.
At the federal level, elections will be held for Wisconsin’s seats in the House of Representatives as well as for Ron Johnson’s Senate seat (Johnson has not yet stated whether he will run for re-election). Nearly a dozen Democratic candidates have formally announced their intention to seek the nomination to either take on Johnson, or a new GOP candidate. As Democrats try to maintain their slim majority in the House, many eyes will be on Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, where longtime Democrat incumbent Ron Kind recently opted not to seek reelection. WBA’s political action funds are important to ensure that candidates who understand and support Wisconsin’s banking industry are elected to office.
As always, WBA is not “R” for Republican or “D” for Democrat — rather, “B” for Banker. We back candidates, regardless of which side of the aisle they sit on, who will enact policies that support WBA’s mission to promote a healthy environment for Wisconsin banks to thrive.
So far, our peer organizations have been active in raising funds. Year-to-date contributions toward political action committees at the last required reporting on June 30 totaled $26,000 for the Wisconsin REALTORS Association, $20,000 for the Wisconsin Hospitals Association, and $18,000 for the Associated Builders and Contractors of Wisconsin. This compares to WBA’s Wisbankpac fundraising of about $56,000 so far this year.
Your support is needed. The more each of us contributes, the more we can grow the slice of pie for our industry. Please visit www.wisbank.com/advocacy to learn more and make your contribution. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

When an organization is confronted with a challenge so big that "leading as usual" and "business as usual" can't produce needed outcomes, we are expert in bringing to bear proven processes and structures that engage leaders, managers and employees, that evoke their latent wisdom and commitment, and that build new ways of working together to achieve success. This approach has been used successfully in strategy development, innovation, and top and bottom line growth.
Too often organizations fall into the trap of thinking that their employees need to be changed, motivated, to get the job done; that it is they who are the problem. In our experience whenever there is leadership that calls on the best of employees, that trusts that it is there, that gives a clear focus to the organization without trying to direct every detail, dramatic changes can occur in participation, results, and satisfaction. It doesn't require everyone in the organization to get on board. A critical mass of managers and employees can make all the difference given a leadership that genuinely engages them.
This far-ranging process begins with the leader of the organization and his or her executive team. The only impetus for a new way of leading and a new way of operating is a business ambition so large that there is no other way to get the results being sought. Otherwise there is no compelling case for change. We work with the executive team to identify and develop their ownership for a compelling case for change.
With the leadership, we co-design large meetings and other appropriate structures and processes to engage the next level of the organization in the case for change. This is done in a way that generates that level's ownership for the change. So much so that they become advocates, not obstacles, to change. With that group we further co-design ways to engage the rest of the organization. All this is done with a clear focus on the challenge to be met and the results to be produced.
This entire approach is emergent and is not a predetermined program. In our experience circumstances, priorities and anticipated challenges shift and it is only a flexible approach that can successfully adapt to these changes. Throughout our involvement we work to generate self-sustainability for change by the client.

MR - Day 15: Stokey’s radio signal from Venezuela
Today we had another great sailing day with a lot of sun. As today we’re offshore for more than two weeks, we decided to undergo a more in-depth rigging check than usual. Besides checking all the shekels, ropes and sails we took off the pole of the foresail and inspected it carefully.
Also, our youngest crew member was able for to reach the signal of a Venezuelan radio station successfully. We tried the Frying Pan navigation method, but only learnt that Deportivo Tachira scored 1-0 against Barquisimeto in the 38 minute and listened to some nice Latino music.
We are excited for our 500 nm and look forward to encounter more interesting radio stations in the next days. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

INDIANAPOLIS -- In 1914, on the brink of World War 1 where hundreds of thousands of American men would be shipped overseas, the Circle City was home to America's first female self-made millionaire: Madam CJ Walker.
Walker had a thriving business of African-American hair care products complete with a factory for production, along with a salon and training school, all located here in Indianapolis.
Born on a cotton plantation to recently freed slave parents in Louisiana, Walker invented the products after suffering from a scalp ailment that resulted in her hair loss.
It was quite an achievement in a world dominated by men and the automotive industry.
Cars bearing such legendary names as Stutz, Peugeot and Duesenberg lined up for the 4th International 500-Mile Sweepstakes at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
It was a time when the program only cost 10 cents, the standings were kept on a wooden scoreboard and the race saw its most economical high speed performance in automotive history: Billy Carlson and his Maxwell finished the full 500 miles 9th on 30 gallons of kerosene. And it cost $1.80.
And while the cheap operation was a victory for the American Carlson, it was the Europeans who dominated the race again, with five of the top six positions.
For the second year in a row, a Frenchman took the checkered flag, but this time with no alcohol involved - that was outlawed after Jules Goux, the winner in 1913, drank four bottles of champagne during pit stops.
This year it was a sober rookie René Thomas who took the checkered flag with an average speed of 82.4 miles per hour in his Delage. He started 15th in a grid that was organized by random draw.

Currently ranked sixth in the in the Eastern conference, the Panthers would need to win 10 of their remaining 11 games to be good enough for them to earn the final wild card spot. Sunday, they fell to the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-0. Florida seemed to have little energy left in their tank after playing three games in four days against three strong teams. 36 hours prior to their Pittsburgh game, the Panthers beat the New York Rangers 4-3 in a shootout victory. They ended their three-game road trip against the top teams in the Metropolitan Division with mixed results.
In the beginning of the game, the Panthers matched the Pens’ energy level. However, by the second period, it seemed that the Pens took control. Sidney Crosby recorded his first hat trick of the season in their victory over Florida. Despite the injury-wracked team the Pens had to deal with missing seven key players (including Evgeni Malkin with 33 goals and 72 points this season), they still appeared to be the better team. They have swept the Panthers in all three meetings this season. The Pens have gone 7-1-1 in their past nine games, whereas the Panthers have won just three of their past 13 games. For the Pens, if they win their next game, they have earned a spot in the playoffs.
Jaromir Jagr played his 1,700th NHL game Sunday afternoon against the Pens. He played his first 806 games with Pittsburgh, and was a big part of their resurgence back in the 1990s. The Pens honored Jagr for being part of the NHL 100 team but he remained very focused on the game. Jagr has 14 goals and 39 points this season. During his career he has had 749 goals and 1,144 assists.
— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) March 19, 2017
The Panthers will play at home against the Carolina Hurricanes March 21st at 7:30. This game is expected to be a good match-up, as the Hurricanes are ranked 7th in the Metropolitan Division with 73 points and the Panthers are ranked 6th in the Eastern Conference with 73 points. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Taking a plane to your family's Thanksgiving dinner? Don't worry — you can contribute as much as you can carry.
From the turkey and casseroles to the mashed potatoes, here's a helpful guide detailing the TSA-approved items you can bring on board or pack below.
Can I take my turkey or ham?
Yes! You can give it one last flight, and it can even go in your carry on. However, it might be smart to go ahead and carve the bird or slice the ham into a storage container ahead of time. It might avoid an awkward conversation with TSA.
I'm bringing the baked goods! Do I have to drive?
Nope! If baking a pie or cookies or getting the dinner rolls was your job, all of that is acceptable on the plane. All of the delicious sugary goodness is allowed right in your carry-on. Again, it's a good idea to put it in an air tight container so it makes it to the dessert table.
What about green bean casserole?
All of you casserole, stuffing, and vegetable side dish people—you too are allowed in the main cabin. It may not look as good as it did when you took it out of the oven, but it is allowed on board.
What if I want to make my potatoes fresh?
If you want to delay mashing until you get to your destination, pack the potatoes! Raw potatoes are allowed to fly in your carry on. Once they're mashed, the TSA reminds "they're not exactly what one would define as a solid"
What can't go in my carry-on?
The runnier Thanksgiving items are welcome on the plane, but they'll have to ride below deck.
Gravy, cranberry sauce, and even wine are permitted in your checked luggage.
Go with the overall rule that if it involves more liquid than solid it needs to be checked.
So, what's NOT allowed?
It's probably best to leave your carving set at home.
No matter where you put your holiday goodies, again, TSA recommends storing the items in tightly sealed plastic containers. Nothing is worse than thinking ahead, making it to your destination, and the gravy is in your suitcase. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
TONTO BASIN, Ariz. — Arizona officials confirmed a 5-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl were found dead after a military-style vehicle was swept away by flooding in the Tonto Basin area around 4 p.m. on Friday.
According to the Gila County Sheriff's Office, two of the three children reported missing were located around 8:45 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Saturday. The children were reportedly located separately about three miles downstream.
A GCSO spokesperson said during an afternoon press conference that one of the children found dead was a child of the parents in the vehicle, and that the other child was a niece. The man and woman are parents to four of the seven children that were in the vehicle, officials said.
GCSO said the military-style vehicle had been found late Friday night, but the three missing children were not inside.
According to GSCO, the man and four children made it out of the vehicle and were stranded on an island following the crash. The woman was also able to escape and get to a nearby bank.
Members of the group who escaped the vehicle were eventually rescued and taken to shore with the assistance of a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office helicopter.
A Department of Public Safety helicopter is assisting with search and rescue operations for the remaining missing child.
Officials on scene said crews are searching a span of four to five miles along the creek for the 6-year-old girl still missing.
The family was together as part of a holiday gathering with relatives, according to the sheriff's office.
Authorities say at least 50 people are assisting in search and rescue efforts, which are ongoing. First responders plan to continue searching until they find the last child, who is also said to be a child of the parents from the vehicle.
A GCSO spokesperson said crews and helicopters will continue search operations until it gets dark, and will resume their search at 7 a.m. Sunday with additional resources expected.
"Sheriff J. Adam Shepherd would like to thank the multiple agencies for assisting in this ongoing operation and remind everyone of the dangers that can occur during flooding. We are concerned for the safety of those involved and the first responders," a press release from the Gila County Sheriff's Office said.
Officials noted search efforts have been challenging at times due to swift moving water coming down from the mountains, as well as debris and loose rocks in the area due to the flooding.
While the search was going on, residents had already set up a cross in remembrance of the tragedy.

The Westminster Confession of Faith is one of the most precise and comprehensive statements of biblical Christianity, and it is treasured by believers around the world. Dr. R.C. Sproul has called it one of the most important confessions of faith ever penned, and it has helped generations of Christians understand and defend what they believe.
In Truths We Confess, Dr. Sproul introduces readers to this remarkable confession, explaining its insights and applying them to modern life. In his signature easy-to-understand style and with his conviction that everyone's a theologian, he provides valuable commentary that will serve churches and individual Christians as they strive to better understand the eternal truths of Scripture. As he walks through the confession line by line, Dr. Sproul shows how the doctrines of the Bible--from creation to covenant, sin to salvation--fit together to the glory of God. This accessible volume is designed to help you deepen your knowledge of God's Word and answer the question, What do you believe? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Gambling can be a pleasurable pastime. But before playing on any online gambling platform online read important reviews to avoid being scammed. Here is a good non-biased review – play88 casino.
Information: When It Comes to Online Gambling
As a player, you must have the choice of determining whether or not to place a bet and, if so, where you want to place it. You will need facts to make this decision. The betting companies must provide you with accurate and easy-to-understand facts. For example, facts about the gambling game, the odds of winning and losing, the game’s complications, and how to play as safely as practicable. However, there are also details about how to defend yourself as a player, such as temporary self-exclusion. Deception happens when businesses are not frank about the risks for you as a player or the chances of winning. That is not allowed.
House rules and terms and conditions
The house rules and conditions may include topics such as payment to the gambling firm, the minimum age, the mode of payment, how to cancel the attendance, and legal responsibility. As a player, you should be able to easily identify and read these rules and conditions. Gambling firms are required to ensure that players under the age of 18 and others who have been deregistered from the competition are not permitted to gamble. As a consequence, they should still confirm your age.
Consider your personal boundaries closely in advance. Limiting how much time and money you want to expend on gambling will help you regulate your gambling activity. You will be able to play more responsibly as a result. If you are unable to adhere to your own limits due to the restrictions of your player profile, the gambling business can still appeal to you.
Prevention of problems
A policy on gambling management should be in a position in the gambling business. As a gambler, you must be capable of reading this as well. This policy describes the actions that gaming businesses would take to avoid gambling-related issues as far as possible. Gambling businesses, for example, are not able to simply persuade people to gamble. They should also take special measures, such as serving alcohol ‘responsibly,’ as there is a correlation between drinking alcohol and problematic gambling activity. Gambling Business employees are also trained to recognize gambling problems. They must monitor gamer’s activity and, if possible, interfere. Do they see problems in your gambling behavior?. Then they must address you about this in time and guide you towards help. In this way, problems can be prevented from getting bigger. If gambling becomes out of control, the Gambling Business can involuntarily exclude you as a player. They must guarantee that players who have been banned from playing are unable to do so.
If you wish to cancel your lottery subscription, you should be able to do it quickly. The betting industry must ensure that this is done correctly and does not make canceling impossible. For example, by failing to inform you of how to cancel or persuading you to continue gambling. Will you have a case against a casino business? For you as a player, it must be clear when and how you can file a lawsuit, as well as how the gaming business can treat the complaint.

Glasgow branch meetings are held 6 times per year at the Royal Hospital for Children, Govan Road, Glasgow. At these meetings, we try to have someone come along to give a talk to our members. In the past we have had staff from the hospital, including all professions, members of the trust, public relations staff and many more. The meetings are very relaxed and we hope friendly. Tea and biscuits are provided. The meetings give parents a chance to get to know one another and have a chat with someone who understands how they are feeling
Our membership list, which at present stands at 130, has addresses which stretch in and around Glasgow to Ayr, Oban, Perth and Ardrossan to mention a few areas. A newsletter giving dates and times of the meeting, as well as other useful information is sent to all members. It is obviously difficult for parents who live that bit further away to attend but hopefully the newsletter keeps them in touch with what is going on and they know that someone is always at the other end of the phone.
The family weekend in Pitlochry at the Atholl Centre is well supported.
We have about 4 or 5 families who go each year from the Glasgow branch. This is a great weekend where we meet up with families/friends from other branches.
Our annual trip to Millport is always a good event. We take up to 240 members, friends and families to the isle of Cumbrae on the first Saturday in June each year. On this sponsored event, those who wish cycle round the island at the end of which we have a picnic outside the Garrison, where everyone can have a chat and catch up with old friends.
The last event of the year is the Christmas party. We have music, fun and games and a Christmas story is read to the children. Of course the main attraction of the party is Santa, who is welcomed into the room by the children singing 'Jingle Bells'. It is great to see the happy faces at the end of the day.
Money Raised at recent Fayres:
Easter Hosp Fayre £409.92 (2024)

Urban furniture in Piazza San Vittore
The purpose of the design was to configure a space that can firstly create a transition line and filter between the warm, welcoming piazza and the more dynamic street, and secondly, to act as a place for people to sit in a town centre featuring significant historic buildings.
CZA chose smooth, discreet, yet recognizable, geometric lines for this urban decor: stone ellipses, capable of acting as a formal focal point for inhabitants and visitors to the same extent as those elements of architecture in miniature – kiosks, stone posts, fountains – which are extremely significant complements to our everyday perception of the urban landscape.
Their shape, size and position in the existing space have been carefully planned in relation to their surroundings: the church of San Vittore Martire, the votive column and optical axis of Via Matteotti, first and foremost, the houses along Corso Garibaldi and overlooking the square and lastly, the urban decor and some of the pre-existing paving.
Within a coherent theme of simple elliptical shape, the benches come in four different sizes of the same height, but on varying scales. They are made of cement chip, the composition quality and shade of which is very similar to that of Lombardia traditional, natural stones, such as limestone, porphyry and granite, thus taking advantage of light, manageable production technology to conjure up a monolithic object. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Labour’s current travails have hidden the Chancellor’s own problems
George Osborne is fond of saying that he’s fixing the roof while the sun is shining. Well, this week he decided to knock off early and catch some rays. After all, what’s the rush? It’s not going to rain overnight. Mañana.
Nor will it rain economically tomorrow, next week, next month and in all probability, next year. The economy is growing healthily, employment and wages are rising, inflation remains subdued, consumer borrowing is modest by historic standards and while there’s a house price boom in London, that’s largely down to local factors. There doesn’t seem much risk of either imminent overheating or a credit crunch.
Which is probably why when the OBR found £23bn down the back of George Osborne’s sofa, the Chancellor decided to spend pretty much all of it rather reduce the deficit faster. That spending – on tax credits amongst other things – has bought off plenty of political opposition, though at the cost of conceding the point.
All this is now easily forgotten. To be fair, it did happen nearly half a week ago and much has taken place since then. Above all, Labour has once again indulged in directing their fire at their own feet; something they’ve done so frequently since May that their lower extremities probably resemble Swiss cheese.
However, neither Osborne nor the wider government can assume that Labour will continue to be so self-absorbed and fractious for the whole of the parliament – or that if they are, some other party won’t find themselves capable of providing a decent opposition. Had one such existed now, Osborne would be under a fair bit of pressure and not only because of his U-turn.
Recessions do not run to timetables. We cannot predict the next one simply on the basis of when the last was; events play too large a role. Some of these events we can predict with a degree of accuracy: it’s possible to model for labour market tightness, private sector borrowing, house prices and so on. Other events, particularly those from overseas, can come out of the blue. Which is a problem for forecasters and tends to result in forecasts being projections rather than predictions (not least because even if you know that a bubble is going to burst, it’s almost impossible to work out when: in October 2007, just after Northern Rock had gone bust, the government was still predicting steady annual growth of around 2.5% and borrowing of about £40bn a year for the next three years).
And against that uncertainty, Osborne has kicked the can a little further down the road at a time when Britain’s deficit is still worse than it was before the last recession, public debt is vastly worse and interest rates remain at ‘emergency’ lows. In the big scheme of things the £23bn doesn’t matter much: over the parliament, it’s less than a penny per pound of expenditure. What’s more significant is the signal it gives as well as reducing future options.
Labour’s vacation of the centre ground (and indeed, the centre-left), combined with the Lib Dems’ near-annihilation has provided Osborne with an historic political opportunity to enable the Tories to dominate for years, as New Labour did and in like manner. The danger, as with Blair and Brown, is that the dominance in the centre comes at the cost of office-holding for its own sake which not only has a tendency to develop unhealthy relationships with client voting groups but also leaves a party lacking in ideological direction. Playing against sub-par opposition also allows laziness to creep into your own game.
The Conservatives have few excuses now: they’ll have run the economy for ten years by the next election, for five years by themselves. With Labour wracked by division, dissent and all-round incompetence, now should be the moment for Osborne to take the tough but necessary action to bear down further on the deficit. It won’t last forever. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

India to become Global Green Hydrogen Hub
Recently, International Climate Summit-ICS, 2021: “Powering India’s Hydrogen Eco system” was organized by Invest India and Environment Committee of PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI).
During this, India’s geographical advantage and potential for green hydrogen was highlighted. India has set an ambitious target of ‘Hydrogen-212’. In this, the production cost of green hydrogen would be less than $2 per kilogram.
Green hydrogen is generated through the electrolysis of water using an electric current produced by a renewable source (such as solar photo voltaic (PV) or wind turbines).
Hydrogen is one of the cleanest fuels. Combustion in the air produces only water as a byproduct and no carbon-based emissions.
Its potential applications include transportation, permanent power such as backup power units and economical applications such as consumer electronics, recreational equipment, etc.
Measures taken in India
- For this ‘National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap’ has been implemented by the Government of India.
- In the year 2020, Delhi became the first city in India to operate buses with hydrogen-rich CNG.
- Hydrogen fuel cell based bus project will be started in Leh by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
- National Hydrology Portal has been launched.
Major challenges before it:
- High cost of production, difficulty in storage, high flammability of hydrogen, constraints in development of production capacity due to low demand, etc.
Types of Hydrogen:
- Green Hydrogen: This is hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water using electricity from renewable sources of energy such as hydropower, wind and solar power.
- Pink/Purple/Red Hydrogen: This is hydrogen produced by electrolysis using nuclear energy.
- Turquoise hydrogen: This is hydrogen produced by thermal fission of methane (methane pyrolysis) instead of carbon dioxide. This forms solid carbon.
- Black/Grey Hydrogen: This is hydrogen extracted from natural gas using steam-methane reformation.
- Yellow Hydrogen: This is hydrogen produced by electrolysis using electricity received from the grid.
- White Hydrogen: This is hydrogen produced as a byproduct of industrial processes.
- Blue Hydrogen: This is gray or brown colored hydrogen whose carbon dioxide is covered or recyclable.
- Brown Hydrogen: This is hydrogen extracted from fossil fuels typically extracted from coal using gasification.

Pink quilt for a little girl
We are kept very busy with cleaning up, washing, baths, walks, play time and early wake up calls.
Do I hear you say that she is too old to have a baby? Yes, you are correct. But not too old for this bundle of fur..
Penny with the toy that arrived with her
Her name is Penny. She came into our lives in January and she is now a boisterous 9 month old Labrador who dominates everything we do.
She is inquisitive, loves to garden and dig. Our garden thongs have been chewed every time we go out and forgot to put them out of reach. Funnily, she only chews the left ones, so consequently, we have many right thongs. Pity we cannot buy singles from the shop. She loves to "help" in the vegetable garden--- we have made many trips to Bunnings to buy material for a simple fence to go around the garden beds to keep her out. Her favourite vegetable was the sugar snap peas (I think we managed to get about 6 for our dinner one night ie the ones she missed),and raspberries are delicious too (we only have young canes and hence just a few fruit, but we have not tried a single one as she beat us to them too).
Penny discovering the garden
She has given us many sleepless nights from worry. When she was with us for 2 days, she developed an itch on her belly. What started as a minor itch became a major drama, with hair loss on her belly and she (and us) were distraught by this. We treated her for every itchy condition one could think of, and she was put on a special diet food. After what seemed like ages, her rash cleared and she is now back on normal dog food. We breathed a sigh of relief, but not for long.
She has had a soreness in her left hip for months. We initially thought it was from jumping over the temporary mesh around the veggie garden. But it has persisted. She has had X-rays and anti -inflammatories and this limp persists if she gets too active. So we have had to stop all ball games, play with her doggy friends had to stop and walks are 2 short walks a day. We cannot stop her running around the yard when she gets into the chasing mood and that gets her hip sore again. It is such a pity to limit her play which she loves, but we have to for her hip.
Penny asleep with her 2 favourite teddies
On the other hand, she has given us great joy. She is the first one to get a greeting when anyone comes home. She is our shadow when we are home and loves to be as close to you as she possibly can. Her foot rests on my feet when I am in the kitchen -- I guess to remind me that she is there for titbits. Despite being 9 months old, she still likes to climb up and sleep in someone's lap! I cannot have her on my lap anymore, but there are other laps that she can still climb onto for a sleep.
A sleepy Penny
Before she came home, we said that she would have to sleep in the garage at night. Of course she started in the laundry as a puppy. When the time came to move to the garage, we put her out with great apprehension. Needless to say, she lasted ( or should I say WE lasted) 20 minutes out there. She has her bed in the lounge and rules the roost.
Penny on her bed
We got Penny from the same breeder as our Tess. Looking at the lineage, Tess is Penny's great aunt! Nothing like keeping it all in the family.
We have a beautiful sunny day today and we are enjoying it-- especially after the very wet few weeks we have had. The wettest August for 150years. Needless to say, a wet winter has caused many people to have colds and the flu.Penny had a bath too today as we thought we should take advantage of the sunshine-- a nice clean dog, for a few hours at least.
Thank you for visiting and meeting our Penny.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Jordan Love finally got his turkey leg after dominating the Miami Dolphins on a cold Thanksgiving night.
Despite a few hiccups, the Green Bay Packers were firing on all cylinders and playing complementary football to improve their record to 9-3.
Josh Jacobs forged a path on the ground while Love spread the ball around well.
The team succeeded due to second-year wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who put together a n game despite another drop.
Wicks isn’t having the breakout year many predicted and leads the league in dropped passes. But on Thursday, Wicks showed why he has the offense’s trust despite the drops. With four crucial catches and excellent work as a blocker, could this be the confidence booster he needed to elevate his game?
Wicks garnered attention as a rookie thanks to his route running and separation abilities, and many experts viewed him as a young player to watch.
He broke out early in the preseason with a huge touchdown catch against the Cleveland Browns in Love’s only preseason drive, giving a sneak preview of his capabilities. But Year 2 hasn’t lived up to that early hype.
As early as Week 1, Wicks’ drop issues were on full display. He failed to catch a single one of his three targets in Brazil.
Love’s subsequent injury led to a greater focus on the run game, limiting opportunities for Wicks through the air. But even when Love returned, Wicks couldn’t make much of an impact. Despite Love targeting Wicks 13 times in his Week 4 return against the Minnesota Vikings, Wicks only caught five passes for 78 yards. Still, Wicks made an impact with those five balls he caught, putting up two touchdowns.
Since then, there’s been a mix of drops, good catches, big-play ability, and solid blocking. It’s probably not surprising for a fifth-round pick — flashes of brilliance marred by inconsistency.
With Aaron Rodgers no longer under center and willing to freeze out receivers, Wicks is still getting his fair shot every week. And he rewarded that patience with a solid game that showed off his best skills.
Wicks was vital as a downfield blocker, showing physicality, grit, and selflessness as he assisted Jacobs in some fun run concepts.
Wicks’ first target was a rough miss that almost led to a Jordan Love interception, but thankfully, Christian Watson is proving to be a good pass defender.
But Wicks caught his remaining targets: four catches for 30 yards. Two of those catches led to scores, keeping the Packers ahead of the shivering Dolphins.
Wicks was by no means the player of the game, but he had a complete game that complemented the offense nicely. This game should build a foundation of confidence as Wicks navigates his unfortunate drop issues.
Drops aren’t necessarily career-enders for wide receivers as long as the players can try to minimize them going forward and make the most of the balls they catch. Davante Adams famously struggled with drops in his second season (though it’s unfair to imply that means Wicks will figure it all out and become a star). Prolific wide receivers like Amari Cooper, Jaylen Waddle, and Courtland Sutton are some of this season’s most drop-prone receivers. Wicks can fix the drops and have a nice career.
Thankfully, Love isn’t afraid to throw Wicks’ way despite the drops.
“It’s one of those plays you’d love to see him make,” Love said on Wicks’ drop, “but if he doesn’t, it’s onto the next — flush it and move on. I’m going to keep coming back to him.”
Love is seemingly unphased by anything and will keep giving his teammate chances. And in Matt LaFleur’s offense, if you’re willing to block, you’ll get snaps, and those snaps will lead to targets. Wicks will continue to get opportunities.
Drops can be a mental issue. Ideally, a well-rounded performance like Thursday’s, on the biggest stage during a national holiday, can build confidence in the young wide receiver. With the Packers starting to get hot as they prepare for a postseason run, it will pay to have multiple ways to win. Having Wicks emerge as a reliable weapon could be the difference-maker late in the season. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A casino is a place where people gamble by playing games of chance. These games include poker, roulette, craps, and blackjack. Some casinos also offer video poker and slot machines. Gambling has been part of human culture throughout history. It is believed that people in ancient Mesopotamia and Greece, as well as Napoleon’s France and Elizabethan England, enjoyed gambling.
Casinos earn money by calculating the expected value of each bet, taking a small percentage of every wager placed in their casinos. This advantage can be as low as two percent, but it adds up over the millions of bets made by patrons. This is known as the house edge. Casinos also make money by selling tickets to events, offering free drinks and food, and giving away merchandise. They may also charge for hotel rooms and other amenities.
Because of the large amounts of currency that are handled, both by patrons and staff, the potential for cheating or stealing is high. This is why casinos have strict security measures. They are supervised by trained personnel, and security cameras are often used.
Most American casinos are located in Nevada, and the majority of the nation’s gambling revenue comes from there. However, casinos are gaining in popularity outside of Nevada. In 2008, about 24% of Americans reported visiting a casino in the previous year. The typical casino patron is a forty-six-year-old female from a household with above-average income. This demographic is also more likely to have children and to spend less on gambling than other types of entertainment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
