SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — The issue of allowing transgender athletes to participate in competitive sports became a flashpoint during the recent presidential election campaign and continues to be divisive.
In recent months, San Jose State University has politicized an issue in the Bay Area, with numerous players withdrawing from games against the Spartans over allegations that one member of the Spartans’ women’s volleyball team is transgender. It has become a fierce battleground.

Now, we’re seeing a culture war unfolding in Bay Area high school sports as well. The collision occurred on Oct. 12 at a girls’ volleyball tournament hosted by Aragon High School in San Mateo.
Details are contained in email exchanges between Aragon City and Notre Dame-Belmont officials obtained by ABC7 News. Aragon State Athletic Director Steve Sell, as co-president of the Peninsula Athletic League Athletic Directors, said Notre Dame parents and fans booed and harassed transgender players on opposing Half Moon Bay teams. As a result, the University of Notre Dame was notified that some kind of disciplinary action may be taken.
But this apparently wasn’t a one-off. Sell noted that Notre Dame-Belmont canceled a nonleague game against Half Moon Bay earlier in the season because of a transgender player.
Sell will appear on ABC7 News this week at 3 p.m. to discuss his concerns about the current movement to ban transgender girls from competing despite Title IX and bylaws of federal law that prevent discrimination on the basis of sex. said anchor Kristen Gee. The California Interscholastic Federation allows all students the opportunity to participate “in a manner consistent with their gender identity.”

“Right now, it’s an incredibly scary thing,” said Sell, a former football player, veteran football coach and athletic director. For girls of my gender, I’m a little scared.” They just want to belong, connect, and compete by playing high school sports. ”
In a wide-ranging discussion, Sell also expressed concerns about the mental health of trans students and addressed commonly cited factors against trans girls competing: unfair physical advantage and safety from other players. I’m working on it. He points out that the university’s women’s teams practice and scrimmage regularly without fear for their safety and for the added challenge of competing against men in many sports.
“The potential risk is not zero,” he said. “There are probably several scenarios that we would have to deal with if there was a serious risk.” But Sells points out that “for me, the safety argument is not that great,” and believes it should be included in the standard unless it can be proven unsafe in individual cases.

The boys of VIXX are finally back after making Singapore their last stop for ‘VIXX Live Fantasia Utopia’ concert last year. The boys were extremely excited and happy to meet their Singapore fans again.
VIXX kicked off the event with “Chained Up” and “Beautiful Killer” before introducing themselves. Donned in black suits and gold chains, the boys talked about the food they missed eating when they were here last year. Ken even went as far to jokingly say he gained 5kg the last time they were here!
VIXX continued the performance with their newest songs “Dynamite” and “Spider”. They also took the chance to share some of the moments when they were either in Korea for promotions or during their free time. The fans squealed in delight when VIXX members revealed personal selcas (self-taken photos)!
The next segment of the concert was a series of lively songs from VIXX, such as “Say U Say Me”, “Stop It Girl” and “B.O.D.Y”.
They then proceeded to change outfits before taking to the stage once more to answer a few questions submitted by Starlights. One of the few highlights from the QnA session was N having to perform a sexy butt dance, Ken singing “In The Rain” live and Ken and Hyuk re-enacting a scenario from the popular Korean drama, ‘Descendants of the Sun’.
Some of the questions that was chosen by the members include:
Q: What do you do during your free time?
Hongbin: We’ll grab members out for a movie or we’ll have long talks in the dormitory. For myself, I play basketball with my friends!
Q: What do you like most about Singapore?
Ken: My Starlight babies? (And he proceeded on to do the popular heart sign for the fans)
Q: Where do you want to go to the most?
N: Orchard Road! The members like to shop together and I could still remember us walking down the street and taking photos together~
Hongbin: I’d like to visit USS again, I really like the rollercoasters and I’d like to go there again with our members! (pst: Check out our exclusive USS video with VIXX last year! > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akFc1T6Ou1E)
VIXX is also known for their strong vocals as they serenaded their fans with a few of their ballads, like “Bad Bye” and “Love Letter”.
VIXX ended off ‘VIXX Live in Singapore 2016’ with their hit songs such as “Error”, “On and On”, “Eternity” and an encore song, “Love Equation”!
Before bidding goodbye to the fans, the 6 members expressed their gratitude to Starlights who have supported them all along and allowing them to come back to Singapore. They also told the fans to keep a lookout till they make a come back to our sunny island!

Introduction: The involvement of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway in primary headache disorders, especially migraine, had led to recent success in the development of new migraine therapies. The CGRP pathway also plays a role in the pathophysiology of cluster headache, so CGRP pathway monoclonal antibodies have been studied in the prevention of cluster headache attacks. Areas covered: This review will outline the trials of fremanezumab and galcanezumab, the two CGRP pathway monoclonal antibodies that have undergone trials in cluster headache prevention. This review will highlight key efficacy and safety outcomes from the trials. Expert opinion: Galcanezumab was shown to be efficacious, reducing the frequency of attacks in episodic cluster headache, while fremanezumab failed its primary endpoint in episodic cluster headache. Both fremanezumab and galcanezumab trials in chronic cluster headache were terminated after futility analysis predicting the failure of both trials to fulfil their primary endpoint. The role of CGRP in cluster headache supports ongoing trials of the remaining CGRP pathway monoclonal antibodies and gepants for preventive and acute treatment. A broad view would include targeting neuropeptides involved in parasympathetic signaling in cluster headache, such as pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP); such targets warrant exploration in the search of new treatments.

Add Your Voice to Sports Broadcasts Without Fans
Right now, every effort is being made to get live sports back - even if it's without any fans in the stands.
Can you imagine watching the Denver Broncos on TV pummel the Oakland Raiders at Empower Field at Mile High - but without any cheers or boos. You just can't have a Broncos-Raiders matchup without plenty of boos. But, that is possibly what the scenario will be when the NFL starts its season this fall. Talk about weird.
There's been talk that the networks might try to use "canned" crowd noise to help give the fans at home a better viewing experience. However, it almost seems that if you know it's fake, it's just going to make the experience even more strange.
Well, it's possible that you could watch that Broncos game from your living room with real crowd noise.
ESPN is teaming up with Hear Me Cheer to get fans' at-home reactions into the broadcast. You do a recording of yourself in front of your television....whether it's cheers or boos. The website takes the audio an adds an acoustic effect which makes it sound like you're at the stadium. The audio is sent on to ESPN which can then plug in the sounds of thousands of fans cheering or jeering - depending on the situation.
I can't say that I fully understand how it works, but the concept is intriguing and people are doing it. Recently, according to The Hustle, as many as 15,000 people were participating. They've tried it on boxing, and it's possible in the coming weeks we will have baseball, hockey, and the NBA on television with prerecorded sounds from actual fans.
Here's the deal. I plan to watch football this fall regardless of fans in the stands or living room cheers. But, I have to believe my enjoyment level will be higher if there is some actual fan noise in the broadcast. The fact that my voice can be part of the crowd is even better.

Legendary Minnesotans – He Sued Standardized Tests…and Won!
Legendary Minnesotans - The Man Who Sued MN's Standardized Tests...and Won!
You take a standardized test in school and fail, you assume you just didn't do well. But what if the test is actually the problem? And not just for one or two people, but for 7,935 students!?
Joe Snodgrass's daughter flunked the math portion of the test. She talked to Joe about it, he listened to his daughter and knew his daughter knew math like the back of her hand, so she didn't very likely flunk. He asked to see the exam, the testing company, NCS Pearson, said no way, and Joe said, "Are you sure you wanna go this way? I'm an attorney..."
When he finally got the exam, what was found? As mentioned above, almost 8,000 students were told they failed so they didn't get their diploma and ran into many other issues. Plus, over 45,000 Minnestoa students had their math scored incorrectly. It didn't cause them to fail, but still...holy moly testing company.
According to a 2002 story by NPR, the testing company "promised to take corrective action. They reimbursed CFL and local school districts for costs related to the scoring errors and gave a $1,000 post-secondary tuition reimbursement to about a dozen affected seniors."
The lawsuit was settled for $7 Million for students and their families for actual damage. The smallest check was $362.50 and they went as high as $16,000 for students that weren't allowed to participate in graduation or dropped out.
Minnesota stopped working with NCS Pearson.
As always, if you have a comment, complaint, or concern about something I wrote here, please let me know: email@example.com
I wait 'til after Thanksgiving, but when do you think it's OK to start decorating for Christmas? That question launched a big Facebook argument...and you can hear it here.

There is a worldwide concern about science and engineering undergraduate students, particularly those who are English language learners, struggling with their entry-level content courses. From a teacher cognition perspective and drawing on semi-structured interviews with chemistry, mathematics and physics teachers at a university in the Middle East, we sought to gain insights into the extent to which language is seen as interfering with content learning and how this issue is being addressed. Focusing particularly on challenges students face with processing written text in English, since this emerged through thematic analysis as the investigated content teachers’ primary concern, we explore reported practices and highlight needs for in-service professional development. We suggest that science and mathematics instructors may need heightened syntactical and morphological awareness to prepare them to more effectively help their students to decode dense word problems. They may also need consciousness-raising, so that they can see themselves as language teachers too. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I find mysellf in the strangest of moods lately. Somehow whenever the world quiets down around me my thoughts dwindle away and i end up staring into oblivion thinking about the strangest things. When i stepped outside the airconditioned surroundings of the office into the real world, it hit me. Autumn is coming. Slowly but unstoppable. Now for those of you who do not know : I'm an autumn person. I love the falling leaves , the wett cold mornings, the amber twilights of the low setting sun, the sence of a world going to sleep. I enjoy it immensly. A cd of Loreena Mckennit (Celtic traditional music) along with a cup of cappuchino brought an air of calmness and peace over me. A big computerscreen , some candles and a quiet cellphone did the rest to give me a relaxed evening. *** For those of you who think i'm dead (because you barely see me on msn anymore) I can set the rumours at ease. I'm not dead , I just don't like MSN anymore. Now i KNOW its the pinnacle of communication, but let me illustrate. I booted up my E-life (my cyber life if you please) yesterday. Switched on my mail and got some mail. Nice and informative. Next I checked out some newsgroups. Also very usefull and informative. I got on IRC, followed the topics on some channels , nice nice, .. Switched on ICQ and aranged some stuff with Swift.. and then I switched on msn messenger . BAM ! THREE popup windows : 1 person asking me 'where i've been all this time' and why i haven't been on line for so long. BAM the second person asking me something about network cabling and BAM person number three demanding I would explain her how to build a website. Now i'm not unwilling to help but I get the feeling I dont get ANYTHING done anymore once i switch on MSN. I get the feeling i use 'Chat' for communication , as to some who use it purely recreational. Thats a change for me . Cause MSN used to be the pinnacle of my comm. system as i now find that if you wanna get hold of me, you can email me. I'll just have to clean up the list or give some straight answers to the 1st line helpdesk-msn buddies that i'm not a one-free-question stop on the internet. Well , i'm off. Real life is calling. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
WASHINGTON – Earlier today, Deputy Secretary of Labor Julie Su hosted an online listening session with members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to discuss strategies for improving trucking job quality, and for retaining and recruiting drivers.
The discussion follows the recent announcement of a partnership between the departments of Labor and Transportation as part of the Driving Good Jobs Initiative. The partnership includes a series of listening sessions to engage drivers, unions and other trucking industry stakeholders to improve labor standards and ensure that the concerns of workers are heard and addressed. These efforts align with the Biden-Harris administration’s Trucking Action Plan.
“Truck drivers from across the country who are members of The International Brotherhood of Teamsters – the nation’s largest private-sector union for truck drivers and related industries – provided us with invaluable insight about the importance of ensuring truck drivers receive family-sustaining wages and benefits, work in safe and healthy working conditions, have a voice in the workplace, and access to training opportunities,” said Deputy Secretary of Labor Julie Su. “The Driving Good Jobs Initiative offers us a roadmap as we work with trucking industry stakeholders to implement ‘high road’ employment practices, including collective bargaining, to meet the industry’s critical workforce needs.”
Topics discussed during today’s session included the misclassification of drivers as independent contractors, better compensation for drivers, support for collective bargaining and enhanced industry training and safety standards. Stakeholders emphasized the importance of addressing racial and gender inequities in the industry, and increasing outreach to drivers of color and women, with a focus on personal safety to attract more women to the industry.

Keep your eye on your contact lens regimen if you’re traveling this summer.
“Being prepared when traveling is key to eye safety,” said Dr. Andrew Pucker, an associate professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry.
“While the vast majority of contact lens wearers believe they are compliant, up to 90 percent of patients fail to accurately complete at least one step of their care regimen,” Pucker noted.
Either they wear contact lenses for more days than recommended, keep them in overnight, expose their lens to tap water or fail to fully follow the cleaning instructions given to them by their optometrist, he said.
Taking shortcuts in your eye care while traveling can exacerbate bad habits or create new dangers.
Here, Pucker provides tips about contact lens safety for vacationers:
Consider your destination: “Not all travel destinations have the same resources as the United States,” Pucker said. You could lose your lenses and have no way to replace them, encounter pollution or not have access to clean water, he added.
If you’re going to an underdeveloped country, consider leaving your contacts home to avoid the risk of eye irritation or infection, he said.
Also, remember to pack travel-sized bottles of contact lens solution and leak-proof contact lens cases.
It’s also smart to pack extra contact lenses and a pair of eyeglasses.
Remember to remove your contacts before swimming. Otherwise, you risk developing an eye infection. If you need your lenses to see while swimming, he suggested daily disposable lenses you can discard when you finish your laps.
Protect your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays by wearing polarized sunglasses, UV-protection contact lenses if applicable and a large-brimmed hat.
“UV-protecting contact lenses protect only part of the eye,” Pucker said. “Sunglasses also provide protection, though neither contact lenses nor sunglasses fully protect the eyes from harmful light,” he explained.
He recommended a combination of measures, such as sunglasses, contact lenses when needed for vision correction, and hats. Children are more susceptible to UV damage than adults, and should always be protected from the sun’s harmful rays, he said.

Traffic on SR 82 approaching the intersection of CR 850 (Corkscrew Rd.) where FDOT is currently working to add turn lanes. (Submitted photo/Travis Anderson)
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 19-year-old Marcos Gaspar was driving a Ford Expedition east on SR 82 near Lamm Rd. last week when he drove across the center line and into the path of an oncoming Hyundai Sonata driven by Shaun Weedall who was traveling west on SR 82. Weedall died as a result of the crash and Gaspar was transported to Lee Health with serious injuries. The Florida Highway Patrol said that charges are pending the outcome of alcohol testing. The victim’s mother, Becky Weedall Wilson, posted on social media that her son was “An amazing selfless young man with a heart of gold and will be greatly missed. He was my oldest son and my rock…I was hoping this was all a dream.” Little did Wilson know that her world would change the day after she posted an image on Facebook that read “When someone you love dies…you never quite get over it. You just slowly get through each day. But you always keep them tucked safely in your heart.” For years, residents have complained to local and state leaders that SR 82 needs to be widened and that a median or barrier should be constructed in order to prevent incidents like this from occurring. In fact, the number of fatalities over recent years seem to back up the push for a safer State Road 82. From 2010 until 2015, 28 lives have been lost along SR 82 from Colonial Blvd. in Lee County to SR 29 in Immokalee. This includes the short stretch of roadway in Hendry County as well. However, according to the Florida Department of Transportation, the widening of SR 82 on the Collier County side isn’t slated to begin until 2019 even though the project has been in the works since 2009. Communications Manager Zachary Burch with the Florida Department of Transportation said that although the stretch of SR 82 in Immokalee will not be improved in the near future, other improvements along the road are under way. Burch points out that the stretch of SR 82 that runs through Hendry County has been widened from two lanes to four lanes and the stretch of SR 82 that runs from Colonial Blvd. to Shawnee Rd. in Lee County will be widened from four lanes to six lanes with medians, bike lanes, and a shared use path. The construction on that portion in Lee County is expected to begin next month. For now, drivers are encouraged to be patient and exercise due care along the highway. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Los Angeles Lakers are set to embark on the upcoming 2016-17 NBA season under a new regime of talent. In a rather unfamiliar feeling for Lakers fans, the young core will now take the next step in their careers around the veteran presences head coach Luke Walton has acquired.
With the franchise entering a new phase of their rich history, many are anxious to see the next step players like D’Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, and Julius Randle will take under their new head coach.
The Lakers, who are set to run an up-tempo style offense, will have a lot to prove this season. After finishing last season with a record of 17-65, the Lakers used the second overall pick in the NBA Draft on Brandon Ingram, a forward from Duke.
While the 6’9″, 190-pound 19-year-old possesses a thin frame entering his rookie season, he has worked at adding strength. Although many point at that slender frame as Ingram’s weakness entering his rookie season, some would say it should be his inexperience. Many veterans attest to the physical demands a NBA season requires, taking a toll on their bodies.
Walton, a 10-year veteran of the NBA, seems to agree on it being Ingram’s biggest problem, via Mark Medina of the LA Daily News:
“No player has ever been through that until you get to the NBA,” Walton said. “It’s exhausting until your body gets used to it and adjusts to it. It takes time. The biggest challenge for him will be figuring out the best way to manage that, still train and take care of himself. The on-court stuff and his play will be just fine. It’ll be the challenge of the 82 game season he might struggle with.”
The miles traveled, along with the ups and downs of the season, can take a toll on players. While everything will be a new experience for Ingram, he still will have to adjust and grow his game.
Walton was adamant that Ingram will not start to begin the season, a job likely going to Luol Deng.
However, Ingram is motivated to prove his worth to Walton, and gain the trust of his coach. When asked how the rookies will be managed in regards to minutes, Walton gave a straightforward response:
“You develop the young core by rewarding them when they play well.”
Ingram will be under the scrutiny of the public eye his rookie season, which Russell stated Ingram should embrace.
Many players, such as Andre Iguodala, seem to believe the North Carolina native has a strong career ahead of himself. Fellow 2016-17 rookies also voted Ingram as the most likely to have the best career. Now the pressure will be on Ingram to prove them all right. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Point Edward, ON – The Ontario Government opened registration for individuals who are 60-69 years of age (or who are turning 60 in 2021) today. In addition, individuals under 60 years of age with highest-risk, high-risk and at-risk health conditions along with one essential caregiver from each of those groups are eligible to pre-register for their vaccinations.
Full details regarding eligibility and registration are provided on LPH’s vaccination registration page. Eligible individuals who pre-register will receive an email invitation to schedule an immunization appointment directly from the Ontario booking system – please allow 3-5 days to receive your invitation.
Please be patient if you are using the Provincial Booking System today. Delays are expected as many individuals across the Province try to access the system simultaneously. This includes reported wait times to register in the system, and select dates for the first/second appointments. Please allow time for the system to load the available appointment dates.
“If you are a person under 60 years of age with one or more of the health conditions outlined in the Province’s prioritization of Phase 2 populations, please contact your healthcare provider,” said Dr. Sudit Ranade, Medical Officer of Health for Lambton County. “Lambton Public Health has developed a referral form for all local primary care physicians to assess eligibility of their patients directly.”
“Unfortunately, due to limitations with our current vaccine supply we are not able to extend the pre-registration to one in-home caregiver that resides in the same household as the 60+ year old as we have done with age brackets in the past,” said Dr. Ranade.
Registration and pre-registration also continues for the following:
- Individuals 70 years of age and older plus one in-home caregiver who resides in the same household
- Healthcare workers (as identified in Phase 1)
- Urban Indigenous adults
- Adult recipients of chronic home care plus one in-home caregiver who resides in the same household
- The Province’s first group in their Phase 2 rollout (essential frontline workers who cannot work from home) which includes elementary/secondary school staff and Lambton College teachers conducting in-person instruction, childcare and licensed foster care workers, faith leaders, enforcement/inspection/compliance roles, agricultural and farm workers, and food manufacturing employees.

There are few things that are more frustrating then your heating system failing in the middle of the night. Fortunately, this can often be prevented by having a regular heating system maintenance plan.

The Managing Authority (MA)/ Joint Technical Secretariat (JTS) as well as the participating countries of the Cross-Border Cooperation Programme 2014-2020 (Programme) are zero-tolerant to fraud and corruption and supports transparent financial and operational management of the projects implemented according to the applicable legal framework of the Programme.
As defined in Agreement on Financing and Implementation of the Programme (Art.18.2. of General Conditions), “fraud” means any intentional act or omission concerning:
- the use or presentation of false, incorrect or incomplete, statements or documents which has as its effect the misappropriation or wrongful retention of Programme co-financing parties’ financial contributions;
- non-disclosure of information on violation of a specific obligation, with the same effect;
- the misuse of such funds for purposes other than those for which they are originally granted.
Passive corruption means deliberate action of an official, who, directly or through an intermediary, requests or receives advantages of any kind whatsoever, for himself or for a third party, or accepts a promise of such an advantage, to act or refrain from acting in accordance with his duty or in the exercise of his functions in breach of his official duties, or would have, the effect of harming the financial interest of the Republic of Latvia, the Russian Federation or the European Union.
Active corruption is deliberate action of whosoever promises or gives, directly or through an intermediary, an advantage of any kind whatsoever to an official, for himself or for a third party, to act or refrain from acting in accordance with his duty or in the exercise of his functions in breach of his official duties, which has, or would have, the effect of harming the financial interest of Republic of Latvia, the Russian Federation or the European Union.
Conflict of interests exists where the impartial and objective exercise of the functions of any person under a contract is compromised for reasons involving family, emotional life, political or national affinity, economic interest or any other shared interest with another person.
Irregularity therefore is any breach of the legislative acts of the Republic of Latvia, the Russian Federation, the European Union, documents of the Programme that regulate the management of the Programme, as well as grant contract resulting from the action or failure to act of the beneficiary and that has or might have a negative influence on financial contribution of the European Union, the Republic of Latvia or the Russian Federation to the Programme budget by charging unjustified item of expenditure to financial contribution of the European Union, the Republic of Latvia or the Russian Federation to the Programme budget.
Thus non-compliance with the applicable legal framework of the Programme may result in either irregularity or ineligible costs.
Responsibilities and anti-fraud measures
The participating countries of the Programme shall use all appropriate measures to prevent any irregularities, fraud and corruption and of any measure taken or planned to deal with them. In case of suspicions of fraud, it will be investigated in cooperation between Member States, the MA/ JTS and the European Commission where necessary. All the relevant national procedures shall be used to ensure that appropriate investigation and prosecution takes place.
In order to prevent and detect acts of fraud, corruption and any other irregularities and correct their impact on implementation of the projects co-financed by the Programme, the MA supports whistleblowing.
Therefore, the MA/ JTS urges anyone becoming aware of any element, which arouses suspicions of fraud or corruption and any other irregularities, to alert such case by e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org or by regular post to address Peldu street 25, Riga, LV-1494, Latvia without delay.
All information, received by the MA/JTS regarding suspicion of fraud, corruption or any other irregularity will be taken into account and investigated accordingly.
The identity of the whistleblower is protected. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Music at the Cannery continues with Mojo Zydeco this Friday.
The band was featured in Wednesday’s Richmond Review.
…The band is about to release its third CD, Doing It, later this week.
“On this CD, the 15 tracks represent the history of zydeco, from old school washboard, accordion and voice tracks to the new zydeco sound with electric guitar and bass,” [found member Randy Schultz] said.
“There’s a little blues and R & B influence.”
The theme that runs through zydeco lyrics is not political, nor deep, rather it’s about dancing, eating, love lost and found and pretty much about having a good time and partying, said Schultz. Read full article
Music starts at 6:30 pm. Admission by donation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The South Korean drama Behind Your Touch, Episode 13 aired on JTBC last night and saw a quite large ratings drop compared to its previous episode.
According to figures from Nielsen Korea, Behind Your Touch, Episode 13 fell over 1.50 percent from the Episode 12 ratings of 8.68 percent (it’s highest yet) to last night’s 7.05 percent.
Still a very strong rating, but a little disappointing considering the drama’s rating had been climbing for quite a few episodes.
In Seoul, the same fall in ratings occurred for Behind Your Touch, Episode 13 with the drama earning 7.51 percent last night compared to its previous episode’s 9.35 percent — a big drop of 1.84 percent, and one that gave the drama its lowest rating since Episode 10.
Ratings for the drama in Seoul, again, are still very good for the Han Ji Min, Lee Min Ki, and Suho-led drama.
Especially as the JTBC drama started out with ratings nationwide for its first episode on August 12th at just 5.27 percent and in Seoul at 5.61 percent, and then started to climb from there.
Behind Your Touch on Netflix
For international viewers, Behind Your Touch is also continuing to do well on Netflix in some countries as, according to Flix Patrol, the drama is still in the Top 10 in Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and South Korea today after Episode 13 became available for streaming last night.
The next episode of the comedy drama will air on JTBC at 22:30 (KST), as well as stream on Netflix around the same time.
The drama’s final two episodes will then air next weekend.
Check out the Behind Your Touch, Episode 14 trailer below via JTBC’s drama channel on YouTube.
It is only available with a Korean soundtrack and no English subtitles, but you can get the guist. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to stop migration across the southern U.S. border.
The agreement aims to curb the flow of migrant caravans and drug trafficking into the United States. In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump praised his conversation with Sheinbaum as “wonderful.” He said that the two leaders discussed strategies not only to stop unauthorized migration through Mexico but also to tackle the significant issue of drug smuggling into the U.S.
“She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border. We also talked about what can be done to stop the massive drug inflow into the United States, and also, U.S. consumption of these drugs. It was a very productive conversation!,” Trump wrote.
Trump did not specify the strategies for addressing the drug issue. Following his announcement, the president-elect declared that the agreement would be implemented immediately.
“Mexico will stop people from going to our Southern Border, effective immediately. THIS WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARD STOPPING THE ILLEGAL INVASION OF THE USA. Thank you!!!,” Trump said. (RELATED: ‘We Are Ready’: Mexican President Says She’s Prepared To Handle Trump’s Mass Deportations)
This agreement came after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Mexican imports. Trump took to social media Monday to announce that he would impose a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada starting from the first day of his administration.
He said that these tariffs would remain in place until the Mexican and Canadian governments take stronger measures to curb the flow of illegal drugs and migration into the U.S. Earlier Wednesday, Sheinbaum issued a warning of potential retaliation should Trump enact his proposed tariffs on Mexican imports.
In a letter to the president-elect, Sheinbaum said the United States needs to invest in development rather than warfare. She also said the U.S. is accountable for the proliferation of firearms within Mexican borders. Sheinbaum said her administration is responsible for the recent decline in migrant encounters along the U.S.-Mexico border.
“President Trump, migration and drug consumption in the United States cannot be addressed through threats or tariffs,” Sheinbaum wrote Tuesday to the upcoming president, according to a translation of her letter. “What is needed is cooperation and mutual understanding to tackle these significant challenges.”
UPDATE, 10:55 AM, November 28, 2024:
The Mexican President denies that Mexico will close its border:
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is pushing back on Donald Trump’s claim she promised to effectively close her country’s northern border with the United States after the incoming American leader alleged that she’d pledged to stop all migration through the country.
On Wednesday, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to claim that Sheinbaum had made such a promise during a phone call earlier in the day. He wrote that she had “agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border.”
But Sheinbaum quickly clapped back in a post of her own on X (formerly Twitter), writing that while the pair had shared an “excellent conversation” she’d told him that the migrant caravans Trump frequently points to as evidence of chaos on the US-Mexico border have stopped reaching the US because the migrants are now “being taken car of” — receiving aid and services — in her own country.
“We reiterate that Mexico’s position is not to close borders but to maintain bridges between governments and people,” she said.
Trump appeared to have understood her comments to mean that Sheinbaum had somehow ordered a halt to all northward movement by anyone intending on migrating to the United States, but in her posts to X she explained that she’d taken care to “explain” to her incoming American counterpart the “comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Shoppers are being urged to know their rights and to shop smart ahead of the busy holiday shopping season.
The annual Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas shopping, Boxing Day, and January sales can give consumers many opportunities to snap up a bargain if they shop carefully, but shoppers need to do their research and be on the lookout for scams.
Last financial year (FY), online shopping complaints to NSW Fair Trading surged by 70 per cent to 18,232, with retail complaints in clothing, footwear, accessories, and jewellery recording a notable jump from 796 in FY 2023 to 2742 in FY 2024.
Complaints also rose in categories such as electrical goods (1,473 in FY 2024 compared with 982 in FY 2023) and furnishings (1,157 in FY 2024), indicating ongoing consumer concerns with product quality and delivery delays.
Fair Trading has a range of compliance and enforcement options available to help protect consumers.
These options include education, public warnings, and/or enforcement action, including penalties up to a maximum of $22,000 for individuals and $1.1 million for companies.
Consumers are urged to follow these key tips to protect themselves this festive shopping season:
Know your rights during sales: Under Australian Consumer Law, consumers are entitled to a refund, repair, or replacement if a product or service doesn’t meet the description. This applies to both online and in-store purchases. Make sure you ask for a receipt and keep it somewhere safe.
Research before you buy: Take the time to compare prices, read reviews, and confirm that a sale really is a bargain before making a purchase. Some businesses may offer discounts that don’t always represent true savings.
Check delivery and returns policies: Make sure you understand the store’s return policies, particularly for sale items. Businesses are not legally required to provide refunds if you change your mind, but many do so as a courtesy. When purchasing online, check delivery cut-off dates to ensure your items arrive on time.
Beware of scams: Scammers often take advantage of busy shopping periods by creating fake websites or ads. Always check that the website is secure, ensure the web address is correct, and save copies of your receipts or confirmation emails for any future disputes.
For more information on your rights and tips for staying safe this shopping season, visit https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/buying-products-and-services.
Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading Anoulack Chanthivong said, “With the holiday shopping season upon us, shoppers need to know their rights and be on guard for dodgy products and scams.
“Under Australian Consumer Law, consumers are entitled to a refund, repair, or replacement if a product or service doesn’t meet the description, and these rights apply to both online and in-store purchases.
“Fair Trading has a range of compliance and enforcement options available to help protect consumers.

Liverpool remain interested in signing Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha in the summer transfer window, but they are far from alone in being in the mix.
The Reds are still buoyant after winning the EFL Cup on Sunday afternoon, clinching their first trophy of the season and keeping the quadruple dream alive.
It won’t be long until Jurgen Klopp’s time as manager comes to an end, however, and it is vital that the club have a plan in place for after he moves on.
That includes transfers, ensuring Liverpool’s next manager has the right players in his squad, and one player who has been linked with a move to Anfield is Palhinha.
Now, a new update has emerged regarding a possible switch for the Portuguese, with Football Insider confirming the Reds’ interest in him, as well as Bayern Munich, who are arguably front-runners:
“Bayern Munich remain alongside the likes of Liverpool in the race for Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha, sources have told Football Insider. The German giants are still keen to land the 28-year-old despite the imminent departure of Thomas Tuchel.
“It is believed Tuchel is a big fan of Palhinha and was a major driving force behind their push to land him last summer (2023) – which was eventually blocked by Fulham on deadline day. But the ex-Chelsea boss revealed his decision to quit Bayern earlier this week in a dramatic new twist following their poor recent form.”
The report goes on to state that “a well-placed source has told Football Insider that the Portugal international remains on their shortlist”, and “club chiefs in the corridors of power at Bayern are ‘big admirers'” of the Fulham ace.
Our thoughts on Liverpool signing Palhinha this summer…
Palhinha is such an impressive player, having a huge impact in Fulham’s midfield and making more tackles than any other player in the Premier League this season.
He does turn 29 years of age in the summer, however, and considering how much the Cottagers will demand for his services, Liverpool would be wise to look at a younger option.
The Reds could potentially only have Palhinha at his absolute best for a short space of time, so there would be a risk to signing him that doesn’t need to be taken.
Should Liverpool make a move for him, there would still be reason for positivity – he has averaged 4.8 tackles per game in the league in 2023/24 to date – but it would have made far more sense a few years ago. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Anchorage, Alaska (KINY) – A federal grand jury in Alaska returned an indictment last week charging three defendants with crimes connected to the murders of two women in Trapper Creek this May.
According to the indictment, Heraclio Sanchez-Rodriguez, 56, Tamara Denise Bren, 41, and Kevin Glenn Peterson II, 29, engaged in a drug conspiracy and conspired to kidnap and murder Sunday Powers and Kami Clark in furtherance of a drug trafficking enterprise on May 22.
The drug conspiracy resulted in the distribution of over 33 kilograms of fentanyl, 11 kilograms of meth, four kilograms of heroin, and 57 grams of cocaine.
The indictment further explains that Sanchez-Rodriguez was an inmate in a California prison and used contraband phones to run his enterprise.
The indictment alleges the defendants communicated in person and through phone calls and text messages to coordinate the kidnapping of Powers and Clark.
They used tracking applications on cell phones to confirm the location of Powers and Clark on the day of the murders.
They further organized multiple vehicles to meet the co-conspirators near Trapper Creek and have a conspirator carry a firearm to carry out the kidnapping.
According to the indictment, conspirators restrained Powers and Clark under the threat of force by carjacking the vehicle they occupied.
During the kidnapping and carjacking, Powers called 911 but a conspirator ended her call.
Powers and Clark were driven to a hidden location, where they were executed and buried in a shallow grave near Trapper Creek.
The indictment charges all three defendants with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute fentanyl, killing in furtherance of continuing criminal enterprise, kidnapping conspiracy, kidnapping resulting in death, carjacking resulting in death, and use of a firearm to commit murder in relation to a drug trafficking crime.
Bren and Sanchez-Rodriguez are also charged with engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise.
If convicted of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, Bren and Sanchez-Rodriguez face a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment.
The maximum penalty for the remaining charges is life imprisonment.
U.S. Attorney S. Lane Tucker for the District of Alaska, Special Agent in Charge Antony Jung of the FBI Anchorage Field Office, and Alaska State Trooper Colonel Maurice Hughes made the announcement.
The indictment is the result of an investigation by the FBI Anchorage Field Office, Drug Enforcement Administration Seattle Division, IRS Criminal Investigation Seattle Field Office, U.S Postal Inspection Service Seattle Division, Alaska State Troopers, Anchorage Police Department, and Palmer Police Department.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Karen Vandergaw and Christopher Schroeder are prosecuting the case.
The Alaska State Troopers released the following statement following the federal indictment.
“The Alaska State Troopers would like to thank the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Anchorage Police Department for their assistance with our investigation into the tragic deaths of Sunday Powers and Kami Clark in late May 2023. We especially appreciate the patience of the Alaskans who have been asking us about our investigation, and due to the nature of the federal investigation, the Alaska State Troopers have been unable to provide detailed information before today. Both Alaskans involved in the murders have been in Alaska Department of Corrections custody since June 2023 on separate charges, and there has been no ongoing public safety threat to any Alaskans since these arrests were made. Due to the drug trafficking enterprise in which all three defendants were involved, we referred this investigation to the US Attorney’s Office for prosecution instead of the Alaska Department of Law to ensure that these defendants are held accountable for their actions. The Alaska State Troopers will continue to work tirelessly with our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to dismantle drug trafficking organizations that target Alaskans.”
An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Geologists at Idaho State University say there’s a major untapped resource under southeast Idaho.
ISU researchers said the region is home to one of the hottest geothermal systems in the world.
“Idaho is looked at by people in the geothermal industry with sort of saliva in their mouths,” research geologist John Welhan said.
Geologists said the hot rocks underground could provide power more cheaply and with less pollution than oil, coal, or natural gas.
“Then you move to geothermal where there’s relatively little infrastructure needed for it. There’s no big gas clouds or pollution plumes produced by these situations. And it’s a really neat idea,” geology grad student Michael Ginsbach said.
ISU researchers said in the coming decades, geothermal energy could also heat up the areas economy and provide a lot of jobs.
“The question is how long down the road will we have to look. That is dependent on the engineering challenges that lie ahead,” Welhan said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Measure the string. Order the necklace closest to the needed size. Cannot measure because this is a gift? The average size, newly teething child will need the 11.5”. Average sized children 7 years old and up, most commonly use a 15”.
Bracelet/Anklet Size: 5.5″ Please measure before purchase. Take a string and measure it to 5.5″. Loop around the wrist or ankle to see how it will fit. Too small? Then you can get a necklace and double wrap it around the wrist or ankle.
Finish: Raw and unpolished amber stone
Materials: Baltic amber beads in a beautiful, classic honey (yellow) color.
Certified: Our amber beads are of the highest quality and are certified by the International Amber Association.
Clasp: The 11.5″ and 13″ have push/pull pop clasps. The 15″ and 5.5″ bracelets have a screw clasp.
About Baltic Amber
Amber jewelry, such as an amber teething necklace and an amber teething bracelet, has been used for 1000’s of years as a natural healer. It contains succinic acid, a powerful substance found naturally in Baltic amber. It’s so cool that it is given to us naturally in amber, simply from a fossilized tree resin that is over two thousand years old!! When amber beads are worn against the skin, small amounts of succinic acid are absorbed into the bloodstream. From there, your body uses the acid to help where needed!
Although wearing amber jewelry for teething pain and other symptoms is not guaranteed, since ancient times it has had a very high success rate. Trying natural and holistic approaches are best when possible! Teething necklaces and teething bracelets for babies and children are definitely worth a try!

LOLLY LLAMA CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
“This company is amazing! We received our necklace within a short amount of time, and the quality is impeccable! Our little girl’s teething has made a complete 180, and all credit can be given to the necklace! Thanks so much!” ~ Rachel S.
“It is just beautiful! Perfect for my 11 month old. I do not know if it is working yet, because we just put it on. But even if it does not, it is SOOO cute! When I had some questions, the owner herself emailed back! Love supporting small businesses. Can’t recommend more!!” ~ Elizabeth Casper
“I got my son an amber necklace to match mine to help reduce his tonsil swelling, and it is definitely working. I bought my wife and baby matching sets, and we have seen a big difference in drooling and teething symptoms. Everyone asks us where we got them. We have told a lot of our friends to buy from Lolly Llama. Definitely recommend!” ~ Jackson Pruitt
* Always remove while sleeping or unattended.
*Discontinue use if skin is irritated. Baltic amber comes from pine trees. Although rare, some people are irritated by pine resin. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
"Funny you should be so tired, so early in the morning..."
The Demon Headmaster series of books and TV adaptations has been in continuous publication since 1982. Now two friends will take a fresh look at the series, one having only read them recently, and the other having been a fan since they first watched the series in 1998 at the age of 6. We'll explore the themes the books present, the context in which they're written and see what new insights we can draw, reading them now as adults instead of petrified children!

Well, the answer to this question is quite simple.
Do you like yourself, girl?
Chances are if you do – you will be vital, cool and natural – in other words: irresistible. The attention you are going to get from the male species is reciprocal to your self-confidence. As Madonna put it: “Until I learned to love myself, I was never ever loved by anybody else…” This kind of confidence is usually displayed by women in their thirties. We know you are young, and insecure is your second name, even though you are smart, and pretty, and insanely sexy. In fact, we women are most beautiful at sixteen. But men prefer mature women because they are savvy with men.
Now here are some certain signs that a young boy likes you, from the savvy Lady F.
He can’t take his eyes off of you. Your name is his every second word. He becomes pro-active at your presence. He is capable of doing desperate stuff to attract your attention.
He is trembling when he touches you. Now, I know it is not very attractive and manly, but you really mean something to him, so don’t be such a heartless bitch. His self-confidence in these sensitive years depends on you.
Guys in their eighteens do everything to impress a girl. Some of them coin a strategy. Ask any man why he started playing a musical instrument in high-school – the answer is: “Girls dig it!” Girls are fascinated by talented, artistic and sensitive men. Guys learn to play the guitar or dance just to score girls.
Some of them are really romantic. They will make you a serenade or fly a balloon outside your window with the message “I love you.” They will write “I love you!” on your box of pencils. Next thing is they will try to really scare you with a spider. They will be using a mirror to look at you if you are behind them in class, and just to make sure they’re doing it make a funny face and watch them giggle.
Expect guys to draw caricatures on your desk of the guys you hang out with. They secretly go through your purse when you are away and snatch diaries and all kinds of stuff. If you are the most popular girl in school – chances are everybody knows the password of your e-mail, but guys will still act innocent. They talk a lot of behind your back – dirty stuff. They are jealous as wasps. If you make them jealous, they will make out in front of you. Guys are just the same plotters as girls, even more so. The chance is they will mistreat you and secretly love you and hate you for making them love you so.
You know he likes you – when you have got secrets, you have never talked about – small rituals just among the two of you – for instance when he is playing your favorite song on the guitar, or when he says “hello”, when he’s happy and “hi, there,” when he’s angry. He knows your whereabouts the entire time, and most of the time you will also bump into him.
Even so, it all comes down to liking yourself.

8 Easy Steps to Make Your Home Eco-Friendly
Everyone should want to do their part to help preserve the environment. No matter what your situation, there are plenty of ways you can contribute. You don’t even have to make big changes in your everyday life. Here are some of the eight best ways to make your home eco-friendly.
Reuse Old Items
Throwing away old items such as clothing or towels is a big waste. Instead, the next time you uncover an old shirt that’s full of food stains, you can use it for something different. Although you might not wear it again, you can give it a new purpose by using it as a rag for cleaning. You might even want to tear or cut it into pieces so you can use the old shirt as rags when doing your regular cleaning.
Other household items such as aluminum foil, plastic baggies and even paper towels can be reused as well. You can even reuse an old toothbrush for cleaning your bathroom and kitchen sinks when gunk and grime becomes an issue.
Use Sustainable Materials and Everyday Essentials
Making your home eco-friendly involves thoughtful choices, such as using sustainable materials like bamboo flooring, reclaimed wood furniture, recycled glass countertops, and low VOC paints. Additionally, consider incorporating everyday items like clothes, underwear into your household. Women's underwear made of 100% cotton or bamboo socks are not only gentle on the environment but also provide comfort and durability. By integrating such eco-conscious products into your living space, you contribute to a greener lifestyle while enjoying the benefits of environmentally friendly alternatives.
Use Cold Water in the Washing Machine
When using your washing machine, use cold water instead of warm or hot. Cold water uses up less energy. It’s also more effective at eliminating stains, less likely to shrink your clothes and less likely to leave wrinkles.
Hand-Wash Your Clothes
Hand-washing your clothes in the sink is a great option when you want to be more eco-friendly. You can use cold water and a dab of dish soap and then hang them so they can air dry. This gives your washing machine and dryer – if you have one – a rest, saving precious energy.
Many areas have recycling programs these days. If you still throw everything in the trash, you’re doing it wrong. Now is the time to recycle your bottles, cans, aluminum foil and plastic. However, not all plastic can be recycled, so it’s important to know what to look for on your plastic containers. Those with the numbers 1, 2 and 5 can be recycled while others might not be recyclable.
Knowing what cannot be recycled is essential as well. For example, you can’t recycle styrofoam or soiled paper plates.
Composting is a great way to do your part for the environment. Fruit and vegetable matter and even eggshells can be put into a composting container in your garden. It can all break down into the earth, combining with the soil. Composting is great for nourishing the plants in your garden and animals that visit.
Make Your Own Cleaning Products
Making your own cleaning products is easier than you might think. It’s also a great way to be more eco-friendly. You can use all-natural ingredients such as lemon juice, white vinegar, baking soda and water as a mixture and add them to old spray bottles you have sitting around your home. Use them in the kitchen and bathroom when things get grimy.
Water Your Plants with Used Water
If you have houseplants, you should water them with used water. For example, if you have a pet, instead of tossing away their water in the morning, pour it into a watering can to give them to your plants. You can do the same with water you use for boiling food.
Completely Fill the Dishwasher Before Use
If you have a dishwasher, make sure it’s completely full before running it. This saves money and is eco-friendly. You might also want to run it in the middle of the night. Using your dishwasher during off-peak hours saves even more energy.
These tips are great for the environment and your home. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

On a natural platform, upon a world of crags above Lake Ohrid – or the White Lake as it was befittingly called in the middle ages – the church dedicated to the evangelist St. John the theologian stands on the most beautiful of the town’s spots, known today as Kaneo. Built in the form of a cross inscribed in a rectangle, it has a single dome with a peculiar roof cornice that rather than being flat or undulating, as would be usual, makes angled tympanums, which is a unique example in the broader area of the central Balkans. The earliest fresco-paintings, dated to around 1290, have been preserved in the apse of the dome, while the naos contains fragments of the Passion scenes.
In line with the traditional programmatic arrangements, the altar space contains depictions of the Liturgical scenes and the Adoration of the Lamb, while between them there are portraits of the busts of selected church fathers. Several portraits of saints from the church calendar of the Ohrid Archbishopric are particularly memorable and significant: St. Clement of Ohrid, St. Erasmus of Lychnidos and St. Constantine Cabasilas. If compared to other 13th century monuments, the image of St. Clement of Ohrid, with its semiotics that is emblematic of the Ohrid Cathedra, contains the first physiognomic features of its typology that became standardised only later.
St.Erasmus of Lychnidos (+303), an antiochian bishop who apostolic deeds involved preaching Christianity and Christianising people from Lebanon through Macedonia all the way to France and Italy, is the symbol of the Christianisation in pre-Slavic Lychnidos (Ohrid). Deliberately placed beside each other, St.Clement of Ohrid and St. Erasmus of Ohrid embody the message of the uninterrupted low of the apostolic succession, before and after the arrival of the Slavs in Macedonia. It was in this church that St. Constantine Cabasilas, the Ohrid archbishop from the 1260s, got his first portrait. It is located in the apse and depicts him in the procession of high priests in the Adoration of Christ the Lamb.
This learned Byzantine cherished the traditions of St. Clement of Ohrid and St. Naum of Ohrid, as well as the tradition of the Fifteen Martyrs of Tiveriopolis (Strumica), and contributed to them with his own literary works. Through Cabasilas’s portrait, the painter immortalised his reverence for those very contributions. The wooden iconostasis was installed in the 19th century and it was also then that the damaged portions of the old frescoes were repainted. The dome was redecorated, as well as the concha of the apse with the dominant and solemn figure of the Mother of God Platitera with Christ, placed in her bosom as a sign. In 1844, the eminent and exceptionally productive fresco-painter Dicho made for this temple the valuable icon of the Mother of God Pantochora, which added to the pace’s atmosphere of a spiritual chamber. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The newly founded National Equipment League has crowned Bryan Furnace as its first champion after four events, hosted by HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America. The National Equipment League is an entertainment and competition platform that showcases the construction industry’s skills, character, and passion through competition.
Furnace, of Howell, Michigan, is the owner/operator of his own earthmoving business who also hosts his own YouTube channel, Diesel & Iron. The competition has been documented over the course of four events, which can be viewed here: event 1, event 2, event 3, event 4 and championship.
Additional competitors in the first events include Mike Simon (AKA Dirt Perfect), Andrew Camarata, Dave Buchakian, and Geoff Dodge. Mr. Digg Ryan Williams served as a member of the broadcast team. All events were filmed at the HD Hyundai Customer Product Center in Carnesville, Georgia, and broadcasted via YouTube.
“The first events proved that skilled heavy equipment operation in head-to-head competition is entertaining, educational, and highlights the talents of the workforce in the construction industry,” says Bill Elverman, commissioner of the National Equipment League. “As in any professional sporting event, we see that lead changes, scoreboard jockeying and often just a few seconds between competitors create compelling entertainment. Hyundai hosted a great competition and has shown its commitment to showcasing the talents and passion of the construction industry.”

With 12 turning machines at Machine Tech, lathe work is as common place as Aerospace Engineering and unique part builds for extensive projects that have the most demanding tolerance, to an energy project in North Dakota with gas well heads and pipeline infrastructure. Machine Tech provides the most consistent part-by-part tolerance that contract manufacturers from Atlanta to San Francisco look for, and offshore Louisiana clients demand. Our ability for turning and machine production, as well as mil spec or creating custom drawings has benefited many clients such as NASA, Halliburton, BLACKHAWK, Schlumberger, GE Oil and Gas, Weatherford, and Mustang Seal Solutions, giving us an edge over the competition.
Turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool, typically a non-rotary tool bit, describes a helical toolpath by moving more or less linearly while the workpiece rotates. The tool’s axes of movement may be literally a straight line, or they may be along some set of curves or angles, but they are essentially linear (in the nonmathematical sense). Usually the term “turning” is reserved for the generation of external surfaces by this cutting action, whereas this same essential cutting action when applied to internal surfaces (that is, holes, of one kind or another) is called “boring“. Thus the phrase “turning and boring” categorizes the larger family of (essentially similar) processes. The cutting of faces on the workpiece (that is, surfaces perpendicular to its rotating axis), whether with a turning or boring tool, is called “facing”, and may be lumped into either category as a subset.
The turning processes are typically carried out on a lathe, considered to be the oldest machine tools, and can be of four different types such as straight turning, taper turning, profiling or external grooving. Those types of turning processes can produce various shapes of materials such as straight, conical, curved, or grooved workpiece. In general, turning uses simple single-point cutting tools. Each group of workpiece materials has an optimum set of tools angles which have been developed through the years.

Day-22 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs:
INKTIME on RINKTIME Observations and Random thoughts by Chris Madsen:
IF THERE WAS EVER A CASE FOR VIDEO CHALLENGE: With Detroit leading 2-1, I said to my former college roommate, “whoever scores the next goal wins the game.” It was evident to me that the Blackhawks had awakened from their slumber and as soon as Viktor Stalberg juked his way out of the corner, I just knew he was going to throw the puck towards the Red Wings goal.
Here’s the video…give it a look…and then let’s pick up the conversation below:
Before we proceed, kudos to “Puck Daddy” at Yahoo Sports for posting this video.
Now, can anybody explain to me how that could be “Goaltender Interference”? Chicago’s Andrew Shaw was obviously deposited deeper into the crease by Detroit’s Jakub Kindl …and upon further review, goaltender Jimmy Howard misplays a poke-check of Shaw’s stick and that allows the puck to seep in behind him.
My theory is that this was a classic case of Home Ice Advantage, because fans at The Joe were going Ape Guano after Johan Franzen got pasted by the Hawks Niklas Hjalmarsson, lay prone behind the play, and that allowed the Blackhawks to spring Patrick Kane for–what turned out to be–their only goal of the game.
Check it out:
No matter where you side on the call or non-call, the simple fact of the matter is that the Blackhawks were never the same after the apparent Shaw game-tying goal was waived-off.
Both coaches chimed in afterward, with the Red Wings Mike Babcock sticking-up for Franzen: “It should’ve been a two-minute penalty. But this is the way I look at it: Those refs are trying to get to the Stanley Cup Finals, too, and it’s fast. When I go in there and watch the replay, I go, ‘That’s a penalty.’ They don’t get to watch a replay.”
And Chicago’s Joel Quenneville taking the counter-point: “I disagree with the call. He didn’t touch the goalie.”
I’ve laid out the case…the evidence is right in front of you…chime-in in the COMMENT section below–would love to hear your thoughts.
Ranger Goalie Henrik Lundqvist appeared to hurt himself when he extended his left arm to cover the puck late in the in the 3rd Period of Boston’s 5-1 blowout on Sunday. Lundqvist needed some extra time to shake things off, but stayed in the game.
Of even further relief to Ranger fans and his teammates, Henrik was on the ice for the team’s entire practice on Monday: “Everybody is sore. It’s the playoffs; you can’t just sit out if it’s hurting a little bit. It happens and you just have to make sure you maintain and you do the right things to keep it good.”
A Bruins victory at MSG tonight would give them a commanding 3-games-to-none advantage.
AFLAC ISN’T THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS A DUCK ON THE MEND: Versatile Anaheim Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin underwent successful reconstructive surgery on a ligament in his right knee. Beauchemin posted some impressive numbers for Anaheim this past seasons (6G-18A-24PTS), along with a plus-19 rating.
The 33-year old hopes to return in time for the start of next season.

Two SCDSB Students Named to Minister’s Student Advisory Council
The Sudbury Catholic District School Board is pleased to announce that two SCDSB secondary students have been selected to be a part of the Minister’s Student Advisory Council- TiCarra Paquet from Marymount Academy and Laura Rinaldi from St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School.
According to the Ministry of Education’s press release, “Students who serve on the Minister’s Advisory Council have many responsibilities. The council meets with (Minister of Education Liz Sandals) twice during the terms and each member is required to participate in at least one regional student forum.
The council also provides:
– ongoing student perspectives, advice, recommendations, and consultations on the Ministry of Education’s policies, programs and practices;
– advice and feedback on the activities more specifically related to the ministry’s student engagement activities; and
– feedback on student-focused communication strategies and products, such as websites, brochures, pamphlets and video clips.
Council members also have many opportunities for leadership and skills development. During their term they learn about strategic planning and the formation of government policy, programs and practices. They also use on-line surveys and other communication strategies to engage their peers and raise awareness about programs and services available for Ontario students.”
Jody Cameron, Chair of the Board states, “On behalf of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, we would like to congratulate both TiCarra and Laura for showing initiative and leadership, and we know that they will make us proud representing the voice of our students and our board provincially.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Though Juneteenth has been celebrated in the African-American community since 1866. The enactment of Juneteenth National Independence Day on June 17, 2021, provided national recognition and memorialized an important milestone in African-American history. The date, June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved people in Texas were liberated, marks the effective end of American slavery.
Through various community-focused events, the Juneteenth holiday enables the national dialogue on race to continue and offers another opportunity to celebrate Black history and culture. From music festivals to freedom walks, these eight cities host some of the nation’s finest Juneteenth events with the goal of uplifting the Black community and honoring the enduring pursuit of racial equality in the US.
When it comes to Juneteenth festivities, it’s hard to top Galveston, the birthplace of Juneteenth. The city hosts a variety of events in addition to the festival at Menard Park 2222 28th Street on the Seawall, including a special concert from the Galveston Symphony, film screenings, comedy shows, a gala, and an emancipation celebration. Two of the most popular Juneteenth events in Galveston are the annual picnic and parade and the annual reading of the Emancipation Proclamation in front of the official Juneteenth monument at the historic 1859 Ashton Villa.
Not to be missed is the Emancipation March, which is a reenactment of the march to the Galveston Courthouse to hear General Order No. 3 that declare all slaves are free. Also worth visiting is the Absolute Equality Mural, a 5,000-square-foot art installation located near the site of Major General Gordon Granger’s office.
At Houston’s Emancipation Park — founded in 1872 by four freedmen and their communities to celebrate emancipation and Juneteenth — there will be a Juneteenth festival starting on June 17. On that Saturday, a free music festival will feature performances by artists such as V Michael McKay and Step Rideau, as well local vendors selling food and other products and a morning freedom run.
Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston’s family friendly Juneteenth celebrations take place at Riverfront Park on the 17 and will feature live performances, art, children’s’ games, and cultural food. The day of the festival concludes with a fireworks show finale. Also not to be missed: the Root of Soul J19th Fest, which features live performances, a poetry slam, and an all-you-can-eat crab shack. For events all week long, turn to the Lowcountry Juneteenth Week, which will have music, food, and culture and educational programs.
Richmond Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities is hosting its second annual Jubilation in June Festival with live music, food, vendors, and family friendly activities at Intermediate Terminal. Strangeways Brewing is hosting a burlesque Juneteenth show on June 16, while a free and family friendly event at Dorey Park will have vendors, food trucks, and a fireworks show.
The annual Juneteenth Atlanta Parade & Music Festival will take place at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta from June 16 to June 18. The event will include a Black History Parade, live music, food and handmade goods vendors, a fireworks show, a Gemini Birthday Boogie, family-friendly games and activities, and double Dutch presentations.
At the Atlanta History Center, Juneteenth programming includes a series of curated experiences that explore the history of the holiday and Black innovation, life, and excellence from emancipation to the present day. There will also be a party on Swan Lawn that offers music, games, food, and drinks.
The “Bluff City” has been hosting an annual Juneteenth event for 30 years. This year, the Memphis Juneteenth Festival spans the week of June 12 with featured speakers, luncheons, a freedom walk/run, youth showcases, and vendors.
Afrocentric Oakland is presenting the city’s 14th annual Juneteenth festival on June 17 at the Lake Merritt Amphitheater. This year, it will highlight music, food, vendors, wellness workshops, art, youth activities, and a Father’s Day tribute at the Fam Bam.
Washington, District of Columbia
The Juneteenth Freedom Festival starts on June 15 with the Juneteenth Honors awards and music show at the historic Warner Theatre. The following day will have a book and bike giveaway at Franklin Park. On June 17, the Juneteenth Career Fair will include representatives from major brands and corporations who will share resources for diverse candidates, career panels, and breakout sessions for attendees. Later that day, the Freedom Festival Community Block Party at Franklin Square Park is a free gathering with music and community events, games, and activities for the whole family. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Tax Court Rules FBAR Penalties Are Not Taxes, Limiting Taxpayer Rights in Collection Disputes
The U.S. Tax Court has ruled that FBAR penalties do not qualify as taxes. This is determination follows a Collections Due Process (CDP) hearing requested by two married taxpayers who had contested the method of collecting FBAR penalties levied against them. They had previously been informed that the penalties in question had been directly deducted from their social security benefits, which they later challenged in the Tax Court.
The Tax Court denied their request for a CDP hearing on the grounds that FBAR penalties are not considered taxes. As a result, the Court determined that it lacked jurisdiction under Code Sections 6320 and 6330 to rule on the legality of the collection process.
The Tax Court’s ruling that FBAR penalties are not considered taxes is based on the fact that these penalties are authorized and imposed under Title 31, Section 5314(a). For those unfamiliar with the law, the Internal Revenue Code, which governs the actions of the IRS, is found under Title 26. As a result, there are no CDP rights available for the collection of FBAR penalties.
Title 31, Section 5314(a) requires taxpayers to maintain adequate records and files if they do business with or hold accounts at a foreign financial institution. In such cases, the taxpayer must also file Form 114, known as the FBAR, with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The Treasury Secretary has the authority to impose civil penalties on individuals who fail to file the FBAR. Once imposed, FBAR penalties are classified as non-tax debts owed to the United States. If this debt remains unpaid for 180 days, the Secretary may refer it to an executive agency for collection actions, which could include deductions from Social Security payments.
FBAR penalties are not classified as taxes and therefore fall outside the jurisdiction of the Tax Court. As a result, taxpayers do not have CDP rights under Sections 6320 and 6330. If a taxpayer wishes to challenge these penalties, the typical next step would be to pursue the matter in federal district court or the Court of Federal Claims. These courts have the authority to handle monetary claims against the government that are not related to taxes, including disputes over FBAR penalties.
The Tax Court’s recent decision regarding FBAR penalties serves as a crucial reminder of the differences between tax liabilities and financial reporting obligations under U.S. law. Understanding these differences is vital for those with foreign financial accounts, especially as compliance requirements become increasingly complicated.
By staying updated on rulings like this, taxpayers and their advisors can better navigate the complexities of cross-border financial compliance and prepare for the unique challenges associated with international asset reporting. If you or a client have any questions about FBAR reporting or other international tax matters, please feel free to reach out to our Global Business Services team.

The Future of Dynamic Content: Revolutionizing Customer Experiences Through Real-Time Adaptation
In the fast-paced world of digital marketing, where consumer preferences shift like sand, the ability to adapt in real-time has never been more crucial. Enter dynamic content — an innovative approach that tailors digital experiences based on user behavior. As we look toward the future, understanding how real-time content adaptation can enhance customer experiences is essential for marketers aiming to stay ahead of the curve.
What is Dynamic Content?
Dynamic content refers to web content that changes based on user interactions, preferences, and behaviors. Unlike static content, which remains the same for all users, dynamic content personalizes the experience for each visitor. This personalization can be based on various factors, including location, browsing history, past purchases, and even real-time interactions.
The Power of Real-Time Adaptation
The future of dynamic content lies in its ability to adapt in real-time. Imagine a user visiting an e-commerce site: instead of seeing a generic homepage, they are greeted with tailored product recommendations based on their previous visits and purchases. This not only enhances user engagement but also drives conversions by presenting relevant options at the right moment.
Enhancing Customer Experiences
- Personalization at Scale: Real-time adaptation allows brands to deliver personalized experiences at scale. By leveraging data analytics and machine learning algorithms, marketers can analyze user behavior instantly and adjust content accordingly. For instance, streaming services like Netflix utilize dynamic content to recommend shows and movies based on viewing habits, keeping users engaged and satisfied.
- Improved User Engagement: Dynamic content captures attention by providing users with what they want when they want it. This can include personalized email campaigns that adapt based on user interactions or landing pages that change based on referral sources. The more relevant the content, the higher the engagement rates.
- Increased Conversion Rates: When users encounter tailored experiences, they are more likely to convert. Research shows that personalized calls-to-action (CTAs) can lead to a 202% increase in conversion rates. By utilizing dynamic content that responds to user behavior, marketers can create compelling CTAs that resonate with individual users.
- Real-Time Feedback Loops: Dynamic content fosters a two-way interaction between brands and consumers. By monitoring user behavior in real-time, marketers can gather valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t. This feedback loop enables continuous improvement of marketing strategies and content offerings.
Challenges and Considerations
While the benefits of dynamic content are clear, there are challenges to consider. Data privacy regulations necessitate a careful approach to data collection and usage. Marketers must ensure transparency in how they gather and utilize consumer data while complying with regulations like GDPR. Additionally, implementing dynamic content requires robust technology infrastructure and skilled personnel who can analyze data effectively. Brands must invest in tools that facilitate real-time adaptation without compromising performance or user experience.
The future of digital marketing is undeniably intertwined with dynamic content and real-time adaptation. As consumers increasingly expect personalized experiences, marketers must leverage technology to meet these demands effectively. By embracing dynamic content strategies, brands can enhance customer experiences, drive engagement, and ultimately boost conversion rates.In this ever-evolving landscape, those who master the art of real-time adaptation will not only survive but thrive — transforming the way consumers interact with brands in the digital age. The question remains: Are you ready to embrace the future of dynamic content?

In late 2020, the Xbox Series X and Series S will be released, and the Xbox One is still available as a second-hand console. Is it a good idea to get an Xbox One in 2022?
The Xbox One’s strengths and weaknesses will be examined in light of the arrival of the next console generation.
Is There a Price for Xbox One Consoles?
With that in mind, let’s look at how much each Xbox system costs. Even though many other variables to consider before purchasing an Xbox One, one of the most practical considerations is the price to value ratio.
Xbox One S costs $300, while Xbox One X, the most powerful model, costs $500. For $250, you can get an Xbox One S without a disc drive, and it’s not worth considering the original Xbox One because it’s so ancient.
However, this pricing is unlikely to be seen on an Xbox One device right now. Microsoft stated in January 2022 that it was ceasing production of all Xbox One consoles, including the Xbox One X and Xbox One S, across the entire Xbox One line. These products will be sold in the primary markets, where prices might fluctuate greatly.
This year’s Xbox One line has identical sticker costs to the new Xbox Series X and Series S, which are $500 and $300, respectively. If you’re going to spend money on an Xbox One, you might as well spend it on a newer, better console.
Having an Xbox One gives you access to the Game Pass subscription service.
The Xbox Game Pass subscription is the most compelling reason to buy an Xbox. Unlimited access to hundreds of titles is available with a monthly membership to Game Pass.
As long as you’re a subscriber, you can download and play the featured games on your Xbox, and they’re all high-quality. In addition, all Xbox Game Studios-published games are included in Game Pass when they are released.
Exactly how long will the Xbox One be available?
Microsoft’s Xbox One is getting on in years, so that new titles won’t be coming out for it for a while. If you’ve read this far, you already know that Microsoft has discontinued the production of Xbox One consoles. However, how long can you anticipate the Xbox One to be supported for?
Think back to the last generation to get a sense of what’s to come. The Xbox 360 was first introduced in 2005 and was eventually phased out in 2016. There were still some cross-generation titles on the Xbox 360 after the debut of the Xbox One in 2013.
As a Platform, Xbox
If you’re thinking about getting an Xbox One, you should know Microsoft’s current console philosophy. An important consideration is the Xbox One’s backward compatibility, which allows it to play many Xbox 360 and original Xbox games. In contrast, the Series X|S can virtually play all Xbox One games.
Xbox: A Multi-Generational Tradition
If you’re still on the fence about getting an Xbox One, this guide should help you out. Regardless of your preference, Game Pass is a fantastic subscription service with many high-quality titles to keep you entertained. And Microsoft’s dedication to delivering the greatest possible experience on every Xbox console is admirable. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Not a typical Muscat Canelli! Crafted in a uniquely dry style, which is not something seen often with this varietal. Miraflores has elevated it to a sophisticated, finely tuned white wine with complex and stunning floral aromatics. Made from our hillside vineyards at 2500 ft. elevation, our 2023 Muscat Canelli reflects the vibrant fruit and easy-going drinkability that this variety in known for. Picked at full maturity and slow-fermented in neutral French oak, this wine is slightly sweet and low in alcohol, making it the perfect companion to summer days and afternoons on the porch or by the pool. Sweet floral aromas jump out of the glass along with mandarin orange, and citrus blossom that make it an excellent wine for pairing with a large array of cuisine, especially Thai dishes that feature basil, cilantro, and coconut. Incredible with seared scallops as well! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This is a bowl of incredibly flavorful yellow rice flavoured with butter, turmeric, garlic, and onion. The delicious aroma of this soft and fluffy garlic turmeric rice is inviting and addicting. Throw this together in under twenty minutes and serve this garlic turmeric rice with any meals. This garlic turmeric rice has been part of our rotation for years now. It’s versatile with vibrant colour, divine taste, and heavenly aroma.
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 c. basmati rice or your choice of long-grain rice, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil
4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 medium onion finely diced
3 c. chicken stock or vegetable stock
chicken kebabs or any grilled veggies, seafood, or meat to serve
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
How to make Garlic Turmeric Rice (Yellow Rice)
Step 1: On medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic once the butter has melted and bubbling and saute for approximately 2 minutes or until aromatic. Now, add the turmeric and mix until blended. Add the rice and stir until the grains are evenly coated.
Step 2: Pour in the stock and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until combined. Bring the mixture to a boil. Put the lid on and decrease the heat, then simmer for approximately 15 minutes. When done, take the garlic turmeric rice off the heat and keep it aside for at least 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, fluff the rice using a fork.
Step 3: Serve and enjoy!
Place any leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheat the rice in a pot or microwave until steaming hot. Although, I would not suggest reheating the rice more than once. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The reigning World Series Champions Texas Rangers marched into Tropicana Field and won two of the three games. Although it is incredibly early in the season, the Rangers are playing at the same pace as last season. The Rangers are 4-2 after six games, same as last season. In the first six games this season, the Rangers scored 35 runs and allowed 23. Last season, the Rangers scored 36 and allowed 22. Eerily similar run differentials (DIFF). Any dialog with any prediction of a repeat championship is extremely premature.
Last year the Rays opened the season undefeated in their first 13 games. They swept their first four series defeating the Tigers, Nationals, Athletics, and Red Sox. This season the Rays are 3-4, far off their 13-0 start last season. In their first seven games last season, the Rays were offensive juggernauts by scoring 51 runs and allowing 18 to their opponents. The team’s DIFF was a +33. Fast forward to this season and the Rays scored 26 runs and allowed 36 calculating the team’s DIFF at -10.
So, what is wrong with the Rays? They need to score more runs and prevent more runners from scoring. The offense is off to a slow start. Many of the batters are below the “Mendoza” line with their batting averages (BA). The concern is not their BA, it is their mediocrity in isolated power (ISO) and batting average on balls in play (BABIP). Patience at the plate is missing too. The Rays post a 7.2 BB%, ranked 12 in the American League. The American League East division is too competitive to waste opportunities for free passes.
Injuries are a factor for the Rays, especially in the pitching department. Every team faces injuries. It is how you deal with it and manage your personnel in camp and down on the farm. The reigning Cy Young award winner Gerrit Cole is missing from the Yankee’s rotation, and they are off to a 6-1 start. I am not going to regurgitate Adam Berry’s “throw more strikes” article on MLB.com. Anyone can say “score more runs” or “prevent more runs from scoring” but facts drive change. If you do not measure it, how do you know if it is improving? FanGraphs ranks the Rays’ team ERA at 13 (in the AL) at 4.86. Opponents scored at least four runs in four of the seven games the Rays played. In addition, the Rays allow way too many walks. The team is ranked 14 out of 15 with 4.43 walks per nine innings. It is not the increase in strikes that is needed. It is the decrease in walks. Theoretically, if the Rays issue their average four walks to the first four batters of the game and no other walks for the rest of the game, the Rays will start the game down one to nothing.
The Rays’ batters are too good to stay this cold. Batting averages will bounce back. Jose Caballero is having a hot start. Kevin Cash should take a chance on the kid and move him up in the lineup. He did have an excellent spring too. Brandan Lowe’s injury is unfortunate but let us see want Curtis Mead has to offer. So far, he is batting .357.
Aaron Civale ran into bad luck during his last start by facing Nathan Eovaldi. Civale matched Eovaldi’s performance. Kyle Seager’s homer in the sixth inning was really the determining factor of the game. Civale has ace potential if he continuously pitches in this manner. He could be the crutch the pitching staff needs until others come back from the injured list.
Next up is the one and six Rockies. There is nothing better to spark up batting averages than a trip out west to Denver. That Denver thin air should boost ISO numbers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

He has been involved in the design of the core expertise of present motors and inverters for automotive electric powertrain technologies. Reluctance motors include no magnet materials on their rotors. Tragically constructed on the cusp of the Nice Despair, the marque found itself making an attempt onerous to promote these $15,000 cars at a time when a physician made about $3,000 annually.
For many Americans, vehicles are a favourite solution to travel, however there’ll always be a necessity for other varieties of transportation. Power Education has a number of pages to help one perceive the power science behind their motor autos. The starter wants a heavy electric current , which it draws through thick wires from the battery No extraordinary hand-operated switch may swap it on: it wants a large change to handle the high present.
The Automotive Expertise Program at St. Philip’s Faculty is nationally certified in eight content material areas and maintains ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) Master Certification status. Extra automobile corporations are additionally beginning to change from induction motors to everlasting magnet motors as a result of it has a measurement and weight benefit that is extra important as cars have gotten comparatively smaller.
Two-mode-hybrid applications and the Volt each use permanent-magnet motors because they’re finest suited to vast-ranging rotational speeds, heavy masses, and sustained use.

Tufted by hand in my home studio, each rug is a vessel of over a decade of textile knowledge and experience. The commission process begins with a conversation: size, utility, aesthetic, and color scheme are factors in a collaborative design process between artist and client. An initial estimate is given based on the dimensions and complexity of the rug design. The client's position in the commission queue is secured with a non-refundable down payment. Due to the high volume of commissions, the current lead time for rug production is estimated at 90 days.

We Visit the Nitto King of The Hammers Powered by Optima Batteries! Or, the Idiot’s Guide on How Not To Go Off-roading
So we were ecstatic when Nitto Tires and Hellwig Products, makers of cool suspension stuff and supplier for several of MotoIQ’s truck project suspension goodies, invited us out to the desert to spectate the Nitto King of The Hammers Powered by Optima Batteries off-road race. Although we are newbs to the whole off-road truck thing, we know enough to have heard of the event and know that it is an extremely tough test of man and machine, combining the rigors of both off-road desert racing and bolder crawling together in one event.
Boulder Crawling is tough enough, but to do it at speed in a wheel to wheel race is pretty insane. The race is so tough that more trucks DNF than make it to the end, and it is perhaps the hardest off-road race around- at least in North America. The trucks, or whatever you might call these machines, are very sophisticated, as not only do they have to go through rock gardens, but they have to do it fast as well as go fast from rock garden to rock garden.
With cool tech and tough racing, this is something we just had to see for ourselves. One thing though, to a man, although the MotoIQ crew is pretty damn good around cars, we have mostly just seen trucks as tools to move our racecars around. We don’t know anything about off-roading and now we were going to go out to the desert and do just that.
Being pretty busy, we didn’t really research much or do any prep other than throwing our camping gear into the back of Project Tundra and Project Toyota 4-Runner. After all, this was not going to be hardcore off-roading and we have all driven down dirt roads and stuff, how hard could this be?
Arriving at the event and after picking up our media credentials, we first went to go check out Hammertown. Hammertown is like a huge temporary city in the middle of the desert. It is the home of 70,000 plus people over the course of the event, yes that many! One of the takeaways we got is the off-road truck market seems to be much bigger than the performance car market in our area! No car event can get these many people in our part of the country, much less get them to drive out to the middle of nowhere and camp in primitive conditions!
Hammertown has a bustling vendors row shown here and pits, worthy of a small trade show and thousands of camping spots as far as the eye can see. At this point, our jaws were dropping. Tons of humanity and trick trucks everywhere. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Perhaps you share my concern that artificial intelligence (AI) may be taking us to a future that has no need for people who work with their hands. I’d like your help in identifying folks who build things that require dexterity, creativity, hand-eye coordination and plenty of strength and love of their work. I’m planning a photo essay similar to my project published last year in the Boston Globe about instrument makers. You can help! Just PM me with referrals to folks who work in this area as inventors, scientists, white collar or blue. I’m just not looking for photographs of people glued to screens. Check out the gallery here for inspiration. Thanks! And, please share with friends.

Have you ever thought of combining your love for coffee and your fascination with mushrooms? Behold the magic of mushroom substrate made with coffee grounds! Discover how you can create the perfect growing medium for mushrooms using your everyday coffee leftovers in this comprehensive guide.
Why Use Coffee Grounds?
There are several reasons why coffee grounds make an excellent mushroom substrate:
- Sustainability: Using coffee grounds helps reduce waste by repurposing a commonly discarded item.
- Nutrient-rich: Coffee grounds are high in nitrogen content, which is essential for the growth and development of mushrooms.
- Moisture retention: Coffee grounds can retain a substantial amount of water, ensuring adequate hydration for your mushroom culture.
Preparing Coffee Grounds for Mushroom Substrate
Turning coffee grounds into a suitable mushroom substrate requires a few essential steps:
- Gathering and storing coffee grounds: Collect used coffee grounds from your own kitchen or local coffee shops, and store them in a container with a lid until you have enough for your project.
- Pasteurizing coffee grounds: To kill any unwanted microorganisms, pasteurize the coffee grounds by heating them in water at around 160°F (71°C) for an hour. After pasteurization, drain and cool the coffee grounds before using them.
Creating the Perfect Coffee Ground & Other Components Mixture
Using only coffee grounds can result in a substrate that's too dense. To create a breathable and suitable growing environment for your mushrooms, mix the coffee grounds with additional components:
- Vermiculite: This mineral helps improve aeration, water retention, and the overall structure of your substrate.
- Coco coir: A byproduct of the coconut industry, coco coir adds bulk to the substrate and improves its moisture retention capacity without being too dense.
Note: The ideal ratio for coffee grounds, vermiculite, and coco coir is 2:1:1. For example, use 2 cups of coffee grounds for every 1 cup of vermiculite and 1 cup of coco coir.
Best Mushroom Coffee Ranked
Inoculating the Substrate with Mushroom Spores or Mycelium
Once your coffee ground substrate mixture is ready, it's time to introduce the mushroom spores or mycelium:
- Select a suitable container: Pick a clear plastic container that allows light to pass through and has a lid to maintain humidity while preventing contamination.
- Add the substrate: Fill your container with the prepared coffee ground mixture, leaving at least an inch from the top for the mycelium to grow.
- Inoculate the substrate: Sprinkle mushroom spores or add well-colonized mushroom mycelium to the substrate, ensuring even distribution across the surface.
- Incubation and fruiting: Place your inoculated container in a dark, temperature-controlled environment (around 70°F or 21°C) and monitor for signs of mycelial growth. Once the mycelium has colonized the entire substrate, move the container to a location with indirect, diffused light and humidity levels of 90% or higher to encourage fruiting.
Making Mushroom Substrate With Coffee Grounds Example:
Imagine you're a home gardener, passionate about growing edible mushrooms. You collect used coffee grounds from your morning brew and ask your local coffee shop for their leftovers. Following the steps outlined in this guide, you pasteurize the coffee grounds, combine them with vermiculite and coco coir, and inoculate the substrate mixture with oyster mushroom spores. After a couple of successful growth cycles, you harvest beautiful, home-grown oyster mushrooms for your dinner table while giving new life to what would have been waste.
There you have it – the A to Z of making mushroom substrate with coffee grounds. Get ready to brag about your sustainable, home-grown mushrooms to friends and family! We hope you found this guide both enlightening and enjoyable. Please consider sharing it with fellow mushroom enthusiasts, and don't forget to explore other insightful guides and articles on Mr Mushroom. Happy growing!

Lessons in real time
By Sara Lattman
USC Thornton faculty member Paul Jackson Jr. brought a real-world lesson to his students earlier this semester: reviewing his music for the Emmy Awards.
This week’s lesson: Learn to play the music from the Emmy Awards. That’s what you would have heard this September in a lesson with celebrated studio guitarist and USC Thornton faculty member Paul Jackson Jr. He used the 29 music charts from the upcoming Emmy Awards to instruct his lessons, before the show even happened.
Jackson has been recording music for awards shows such as the Emmys, GRAMMYs and the Oscars for years with Musical Director Rickey Minor. Passionate about providing his students with a real-time look into the industry, Jackson often uses charts for music from the shows he works on as guides to his lessons.
One of the charts stemmed from a Nicholas brothers dance number with Cab Calloway, the pop music from the 30s and 40s that students are not normally exposed to in popular music education. Jackson downloaded the music from YouTube and had the students read the chart as he played the clip to them in class.
“This type of guitar playing is something they might see twice a year in popular music,” Jackson said. “When they’re exposed here then they won’t get caught off guard in the workforce.”
A lesson on timing also came from an Emmy chart. Jackson describes the importance of being able to count odd bars and different measures to make cues so that you can come into pieces at the right time.
“That’s indicative of shows like that and also a lot of motion pictures where the guitar might have a cue to play, but the cue is a minute into the song,” said Jackson. That chart? It was arranged by Vince Mendoza, Jackson’s faculty colleague at USC Thornton.
Jackson invited six of his guitar students to attend the pre-recording sessions for The Emmys, giving them what Jackson described as a “mini masterclass,” and a look into the process, music and the recording equipment. Jackson encouraged his students to view this work not as something he does, but as something that they will eventually be doing themselves.
To further their comfort in a studio setting, he’s turned his office into a small recording studio. His goal is to put students in an environment that they’ll eventually be working in where the music will be recorded straight into a computer.
“All the conversations are on the room mics and then I give them each a file of the lesson so that way everything we discussed, all the musical examples, are right there,” said Jackson. “Every lesson is a recording session.”
Jackson, himself a USC alumnus, has worked with artists such as Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, and played on shows including “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” and “American Idol.” Earlier this year, he received an Honorary Doctorate in Sacred Music from New Dimension University, a bible college based in Rancho Cucamonga. NDU’s founder and multiple faculty members have been following Jackson’s career in not only popular music, but in gospel music.
“My approach is always musical excellence, being able to interpret what the music is, so every piece of music is an individual case study,” Jackson said. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Investing in equity funds can be a suitable way to grow your money over time. But did you know that the taxes you pay on your investments can eat into your returns Thats where tax efficiency comes in. By using smart strategies to optimize your tax liabilities, you can keep more of your investment gains in your pocket. Lets explore some simple yet effective strategies to optimize tax liabilities when investing in equity funds.
Equity funds: Strategies to optimize tax liabilities
Understand tax implications: Before diving into equity funds, its crucial to understand the tax implications. Profits from equity investments are subject to capital gains tax. Short-term capital gains, from investments held for less than a year, are typically taxed at higher rates than long-term gains. Knowing these tax rates can help you plan your investment strategy accordingly.
Here are the types of equity mutual funds taxation:
Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal or IDCW
IDCW refers to the allocation of earnings from a mutual fund scheme, encompassing dividends from stocks and profits from selling underlying stocks in the schemes portfolio. The income received by investors under IDCW is added to their total taxable income and taxed based on the investors applicable income tax slab rate. Additionally, there exists a standard TDS rate of 10% on dividend income exceeding Rs. 5,000.
Capital gains tax:
This tax is levied when investors sell their mutual fund units at a profit. The tax rate varies depending on the mutual fund type and the duration of ownership:
For equity funds, with more than 65% of the funds total assets invested in shares of companies, short-term capital gains (for holdings less than 12 months) are taxed at a fixed rate of 15%, along with any applicable surcharge and cess, irrespective of the investors income tax bracket.
Long-term capital gains (for holdings of 12 months or more) up to Rs. 1 lakh annually are exempt from tax. Any gains exceeding this threshold incur a long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax of 10%, along with any applicable surcharge and cess, without the option of indexation.
Strategies for optimize tax liabilities
Choose tax-efficient funds: Not all equity funds are created equal when it comes to taxes. Some funds are more tax-efficient than others. You can also consider investing in Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS). These mutual funds come with a lock-in period and can help in saving tax.
Hold investments for the long term: Long-term investments are taxed at lower rates compared to short-term investments. If possible, aim to hold your equity fund investments for more than a year to qualify for long-term capital gains tax treatment. This strategy not only reduces your tax liabilities but also aligns with the principle of investing for the long haul. You can start an SIP investment to meet your long-term financial goals and reap tax benefits in the long run.
Stay informed about tax law changes: Tax laws can change, impacting the tax treatment of your investments. Stay informed about any updates or changes in tax regulations that may affect your investment strategy. Consulting with a tax professional can also provide valuable insights and help you navigate complex tax situations.
Monitor portfolio allocation: Asset allocation plays a crucial role in tax efficiency. By balancing your portfolio with tax-efficient and tax-inefficient investments, you can minimize the overall tax impact.
In conclusion, optimizing tax liabilities when investing in equity funds requires careful planning and strategic decision-making. By understanding the tax implications, choosing tax-efficient funds, utilizing tax-advantaged accounts, and employing strategies like tax-loss harvesting and holding investments for the long term, investors can minimize their tax burdens and keep more of their investment gains. Staying informed about tax law changes and monitoring portfolio allocation are also essential aspects of maintaining tax efficiency. By implementing these strategies, investors can enhance their after-tax returns and work towards achieving their financial goals.

The ever-changing digital landscape we live in is constantly changing the way we do business. No longer are people merely turning to their peers for recommendations, they’re looking to see what their favorite YouTuber or Insta Blogger has to say about products. This is particularly true for younger generations like Millennials and Generation Z. Thanks to social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram, regular people are now able to build their own brands by generating engaging content from the comfort of their own homes, making them that much more relatable.
Unlike celebrities, influencers tend to be more engaging with their followers--they answer your questions, like your comments and share personal stories--in short, they come across more genuine. A 2016 study by Google shows that 70 percent of teenage YouTube audiences are influenced more by YouTubers than traditional celebrities. Influencers have become popular by showing their expertise in a particular niche, e.g., fashion, travel, makeup, etc., and thus become trusted on those specific topics. Celebrities, however, are paid to give recommendations because they have a large following due to their acting, modeling, singing, etc., making them seem less authentic when endorsing a product. Actress Blake Lively is known for her signature golden locks and has been a spokesperson for L’Oreal Paris for a couple of years now. But let’s be honest, do we really believe Blake Lively colors her hair out of a box? Probably not. However, could we believe our favorite beauty blogger does? Sure. Furthermore, 49 percent of consumers depend on influencer recommendations when making purchasing decisions.
Now, not all influencers were created equal, and it takes some time to find the right one to work with. You’ll want to make sure your target audience falls within their following, as well as ensure that their content is aligned with their messaging. Someone might have 100,000 followers, but if it’s 100,000 people who don’t care about what your selling, you’re just wasting everyone’s time and money. Not to mention if you demonstrate that you’ve done research on the influencer you’re reaching out to by explaining the synergies between their messaging and your product, they will be much more inclined to actually respond.
It is also essential to be on the lookout for influencer marketing fraud, or people who appear to have a large following but in reality, have paid for most of their followers or are using artificial followers to make themselves seem more valuable. That said, once you find the right people, influencer marketing is a surefire way to increase conversion rates as well as be cost effective. On average, brands see an ROI of $6.85 for every dollar invested in influencer marketing.
Influencer marketing is especially unique because it is a mutually beneficial relationship. Influencers want to find brands and products to promote to their audience, and companies need people to promote them. Whether you’re an influencer yourself or are someone trying to find an influencer, understanding this new branch of marketing is key to success. And for those of you out there working to become an influencer and build up your following, check out iFluenz, an agency which specializes in all things influencer marketing. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Many prospective studies and meta-analyses in major orthopedic surgery have shown that tranexamic acic (TA) reduces blood losses significantly without major complications. Notwithstanding , concern remains regarding the risk of thromboembolic events (TE), particularly when less aggressive thromboprophylaxis is used (aspirin, warfarin). This is a recent retrospective study in total hip and knee replacement that compares the incidence of TEs in patients having received TA and one of three types of thromboembolic prophylaxis regimens (aspirin, warfarin and dalteparin). Despite the low level of evidence of this study, very few TE events occured in lower limb arthroplasty with TXA and no difference between the three regimens was detected. However, it must be taken into account that patients at high risk of TE events were normally excluded.

While the amount of accessible Clubhouse space has been reduced during construction, we have been able to keep appropriate space open for parents and players to gather in the cold evenings. We again thank our homeowners, swim participants and tennis members for your patience. We are excited to see these long-awaited maintenance projects coming together and we look forward to showing them off to you upon completion.
Work on the clubhouse has been moving forward despite Mother Nature’s efforts to thwart us this year. Our completion date has moved from mid-March into April but we are continuing to make substantial progress. The front exterior framing is taking shape as we have moved from the office to the front of the Clubhouse. Unfortunately, everything is covered with plastic to protect it from the elements so photos don’t do it justice. On the interior, footings are being poured for the structural elements, much of the framing is complete and plumbing and electrical will start to be installed within the next week or so. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

We recently had the pleasure of attending a local meeting that was hosted by our regional work force alliance and the NTMA. ( National Toolmakers Association) The primary focus was an in-depth presentation about trying to find, fill and keep talented people in the machining, mold making and tool and die business. For years, the US has been losing jobs to Asia and it’s been increasingly hard if not impossible to find trained professionals. The NTMA took a grass roots look at apprenticeship training across the US and have come up with a plan and program to train and certify pre-qualified people through our local colleges. One of the uphill battles that has faced our industry over the last 20 years is that this industry had a reputation that it was a ‘dirty’ job. That is not the case anymore.
The idea is to get the word out to local high schools that there are plenty of options/careers available if one does not want to go to college straight out of high school. There are good paying jobs in the machining industry. We want the kids that love to play with computers and programming. We want the kids that like to build things. Today’s machine shop is much different that it was in the 70’s and 80’s. Running a piece of equipment that has a price tag between $50,000 and $750,000 requires a person that knows how to program from 3D models and use 21st century skills that new generations possess and have generated demand for.
The new apprenticeship training model works off of NIMS based skills training and not the traditional 8000 hours that the previous state regulated model had in place. With the economy we currently operate in and the currency problems that China has created we are seeing more companies with a ‘buy USA’ attitude. The problem is too much work and not enough qualified and trained people. With this training program in place we can put qualified people that want to learn a trade to work. Neu Dynamics is planning on training at least 2-3 people over the next 3 years to reinforce our work force. We will work closely with the NTMA and our local manufacturing alliance. We will be attending a show called “manufest” at our local Hatboro-Horsham meeting on March 19th where we expect to attract as many as 500 students and parents from local high schools so they can view what we do.
Here is a video of John Shegda, local chapter president of the NTMA discussing these apprenticeships: | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
There are quite a few places on the map that you can go to when playing Sneaky Sasquatch. Some are easier to find than others. Other places, like caves, can be harder to find. One question that you might cross your mind when playing is, “Where is the cave in Sneaky Sasquatch?” There are a few caves in the game; we will look at them below.
Cave Map (Locations)
Here is how to reach every cave in Sneaky Sasquatch:
- Ski Mountain Cave
- Pirate Cave
- Golf Course Cave
- Waterfall Cave
- RV Park Cave
- Sewers Waterfall Cave
- Island Cave
Ski Mountain Cave
This is a cave in the snowy mountains, and it’s found at the rear of the Summit Hut at a curvy path’s end. It’s also on Ski Mountain’s highest level. This cave is one of only two places where Cavefish can be caught. It’s the home of Winter Jack.
This cave is found in the Northern Ocean and to Island Campground’s east. You need to use your Scuba Diving gear for diving off the nearby beach. Then you go underwater to enter the cave. There is a door that blocks the path.
You can get the key for this door from the sunken pirate ship. This is found in the Island’s south. There’s a cache of 3,500 coins behind this door, so it’s worth it!
Golf Course Cave
You’ll find this cave inside the lake to the Golf Course’s east. You can’t enter it underwater. Therefore, a boat’s required to get to it. Go up the river from where the Mushroom Hunter is and give the Demolition Duck dynamite.
This will open the way into Campground Lake and up a much faster river. This will lead you to the lake on the golf course. You can fish for Cavefish here, and there is also a cache here.
This cave can be hard to find. There is a waterfall located at campsites C & D in the Campground, which is how you access this cave. There’s a Secret Cache in this cave. It is also where one of the races finishes.
RV Park Cave
This is one cave that you want to make sure to visit. It’s located west of sites A & B in the RV Park. Look for the road that has the warning sign. You need a flashlight to get into it more than a couple of steps. There’s a Bear sitting close to the entrance that warns about the darkness.
There is a Treasure Map piece behind the rubble, and you’ll need the Dynamite you’ll find deep inside the cave so the path can be cleared. There is also a Dig Spot and Secret Cache here. This cave is the home of Halloween Jack.
Sewers Waterfall Cave
Behind that polluted waterfall in the sewer’s lower part, this cave is found. Although it seems quite unpleasant here, and you may not want to go into it due to the barrels full of sewage, the Secret Cache found here makes it worth it.
This is a forest cave in the southern part. But before you go there, get some Dynamite from the Mushroom Hunter. This will help the Demolition Duck with opening it. You will find a Dig Spot and a Secret Cache here.
Thank you for reading our blog. We hope this walkthrough helped you with your game playing in Sneaky Sasquatch. Please comment below and keep coming back to our site because we are always adding more content. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
