At Finesse Active, our product development team is dedicated to crafting sustainable styles that not only perform exceptionally but also flatter your body, all at competitive prices. Our focus lies in creating timeless wardrobe essentials and trendy pieces that you'll cherish and wear repeatedly.
Do you know that an average piece of clothing is only worn seven times and thrown out after approx. 2 years? We want to ensure that you get to enjoy your clothes for as long as possible, and while it's no easy feat to keep up with ever-changing consumer habits, sustainability will always remain our top priority when designing our products.
This means sourcing fabrics that are sustainable, durable, and comfortable to wear, allowing you to move freely and seamlessly through your day-to-day activities. To cater to everyone's preferences, we utilize various recycled, upcycled, and natural fabrics in our clothes. Below are some examples of the fabrics we use, but you can find more information about each one on our product pages:
Our eco-luxe fabric is not only environmentally friendly, but it also offers exceptional quality and performance. The fabric is incredibly smooth, squat-proof, moisture-wicking, and has a 4-way stretch that allows for comfortable movement. Additionally, the fabric is of good thickness, ensuring that you are never fear of visible underwear marks. Our eco-luxe fabric is designed to move with you, making it perfect for everyday use and any activity.
Our revived cotton fabric is made from 100% cotton and is sourced from verified mills only. Deadstock is created when mills overproduce or when there are minor imperfections with the fabric, but we make sure to use every inch of the fabric roll and perform a double quality check on the final product. Our revived cotton fabric is airy, highly absorbent, and has a soft cottony feel, making it perfect for comfortable everyday wear.
Made from 90% rayon 10% spandex, our Revive Viscose fabric is super stretchy, soft, and has excellent moisture-wicking properties. We source our verified deadstock materials only from mills, ensuring that every inch of the fabric roll is used and undergoes a double quality check. This fabric is perfect for comfortable everyday wear, keeping you cool and comfortable all day long.
How about Microplastic?
Are you aware that when synthetic fabrics are washed, they release tiny fibres called microfibres? These microfibres are a form of microplastic and are released into our waterways every time we do laundry. Shockingly, these tiny plastics from clothes are the largest source of primary microplastics found in our oceans, including those from your favourite activewear, dresses, sweaters, underwear, and of course, our clothes too.
At Finesse Active, we believe in taking responsibility for our impact on the environment and promoting sustainable practices. That's why we suggest only washing your clothes when necessary and utilizing a Fibre Filter bag every time to capture these microfibres. This will aid in maintaining the clarity of our waterways. We believe that every washing machine should have a filter as standard, but until then, you can use our filter bags to keep microfibres from infiltrating delicate water ecosystems. Let's work together to minimize our impact on the environment and preserve our planet for generations to come. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Boris Johnson says that Vladimir Putin threatened to fire a missile at him. The Kremlin calls it ‘a lie.’
Britain’s former prime minister, Boris Johnson, has stated that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia made a veiled menace to fireplace a missile at him, a declare that the Kremlin on Monday dismissed as a lie.
Mr. Johnson recounted the alternate, which he stated occurred when he was prime minister within the run-up to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine final yr, in an interview for a BBC documentary that was launched on Monday. He stated it got here throughout a protracted cellphone name throughout which he had tried to dissuade Mr. Putin from invading, arguing that doing so would result in extra sanctions and an elevated NATO presence close to Russia’s border.
“He threatened me at one point and said, you know: ‘Boris, I don’t want to hurt you but with a missile it would only take a minute,’ or something like that,” Mr. Johnson stated of the Russian chief’s response. He added that Mr. Putin’s menace had been “jolly,” seeming to counsel that he had not taken it critically.
“From the very relaxed tone that he was taking, the sort of air of detachment that he seemed to have, he was just playing along with my attempts to get him to negotiate,” Mr. Johnson stated.
Full transcripts of cellphone calls between authorities leaders are usually not typically revealed, making it tough to independently confirm both aspect’s model of the dialog. The BBC stated on its web site that accounts of the decision issued by the British and Russian governments on the time contained no reference to a private menace by Mr. Putin.
The Kremlin was fast to reject Mr. Johnson’s recollection of the decision.
“It’s a lie. There have been no missile threats,” the Kremlin’s spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, instructed reporters on Monday when requested about Mr. Johnson’s feedback. Mr. Peskov stated it was doable that the previous British chief had not understood what Mr. Putin had been saying.
Mr. Johnson performed a key position in rallying worldwide help for Ukraine within the early weeks of the invasion and was one of many first Western leaders to go to the nation after the warfare started in late February of final yr.
Since asserting his resignation in July amid a sequence of scandals, Mr. Johnson has sought to painting his position in Ukraine, the place he stays common, as one of the vital achievements of his three years in energy. His supporters regularly cite his advocacy for Ukraine as a part of a case for Mr. Johnson’s potential return as occasion chief.
Earlier this month, Mr. Johnson paid one other go to to Ukraine, an uncommon transfer for a former chief, and held talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky, who referred to as him a “true friend to Ukraine.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Navigating the dynamic risk landscape to persist in human dominated landscapes
Benedikt Gehr (Wildtier Schweiz) mit Simone Ciuti, Nicoals Morellet, Stefanie Muff, Nadège Bonnot, Lukas Keller, Federico Ossi, Nathan Ranc, Marco Heurich, Francesca Caganacci
Non-lethal and lethal human activities such as agricultural practices or hunting strongly shape the movement and behaviour of wildlife populations in human-dominated landscapes. At the same time the recent return of large carnivores creates a complex risk-landscape for prey. A large-scale comparison is strongly needed to clarify how hunted species manage to navigate the dynamic landscape of risk between human and natural predators to persist in human-dominated landscapes.
In this study we investigate how roe deer may respond to multiple-risk trade-offs by adjusting the use of open habitat and forest. We address this hypothesis using a large data set from seventeen roe deer populations across Europe, distinguishing four different combinations of hunting and lynx predation risk, while controlling for non-lethal human disturbance.
We find that at the continental scale and in absence of predation risk, deer habitat use of open and forest is driven by human disturbance and environmental conditions. In the presence of a single predation risk, there was only weak evidence that deer shift habitat selection in response to hunting whereas lynx predation risk was clearly avoided in most situations. Finally, when both hunting and the natural predator occur, deer habitat use of open and forest is more shaped by the presence of lynx than hunters.
We discuss how adjusting space use at different temporal scales in combination with shifts in diel activity patterns allow ungulates to dwell in the dynamic but predictable multi-risk-landscape of Europe’s anthropogenic environments. However, further re-establishment of the large predator guild in Europe, together with increasing human impact on natural habitats, might make it increasingly difficult for prey species to navigate the dynamic landscape of risk. In this light, we discuss the role of protected areas in the conservation of ungulates in Europe. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Agreed on the last. :-( I was getting some data off a couple of hard drives from a PC that died via an IDE to USB interface on my work PC a week or two ago. Everything was going Ok until I tried to get a clicking drive to start up again. No go, no go. I figured I had nothing to lose so I opened the drive and spun the platter around while it was trying to power up. To my amazement, it eventually spun up and Winders got about 2/3 of the way toward recognizing it, but didn't assign it a drive letter. At that point, the Winders desktop locked up. I gave it a few minutes, then didn't have much of a choice but to turn the PC off. I turned the bad drive off, but left the USB interface attached, and rebooted. The work PC then wouldn't boot up. Or it did, but it was ungodly slow. Even getting through the BIOS screen was ungodly slow. I thought, "Uh oh! What have I done now!" An hour or so of troubleshooting followed... Long story short, it was trying to boot off the non-existent USB hard drive first. Unplugging the USB hard drive interface from the PC returned everything to normal. I'd like to have that hour back, and all the earlier ones wasted on things like that. :-( Sorry that VBox isn't being nice to you. :-( It has almost always been pretty painless for me. I was using 4.3.10 before I upgraded to 4.3.20 - I haven't tried to put 4.3.20 on a new machine, myself, but I don't know why it wouldn't work as 4.3.10 did. Cheers, Scott. | | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Hey everyone. I bought this course for my daughter when she was about 7 or 8 'cause I wanted her to do this with me so that we'd have something to bond on. Mostly I wanted it. I practiced for a few days (this is when we had our last apartment) and I noticed a crazy difference right away. Well we lived in a not-so-good area and skipping forward we had to move back in with my parents. It's almost impossible to practice here due to certain family members who are irritated with or without sound. I packed up the ProBundle dvds and put 'em who-knows-where. The itch to want to sing never left. It's now 2017 and seriously I keep watching KTVA videos over and over and over and sometimes lose sleep over it 'cause I wanna catch up to these wonderful singers so badly. I don't see myself singing in front of a crowd in a stadium, but rather to a crowd in a big church or at a family birthday party or in a karaoke competition. Maybe. But the desire is there. My daughter is about to turn 11 and she's back to wanting to sing with mommy. YES!!! I don't know that I would want to be famous just because 1. weirdos, 2. any past dates or loser ex-bf's telling everyone "Ya we used to date", 3. old friends or angry ex-coworkers saying "She's not all that people make her out to be. She doesn't even sing that good anyway", and 4. people I no longer talk to (for a reason esp. 'cause I got saved back in 2014) might try to sell information about me to paparozzi. I worry that if I would ever become part of a Christian band, people in my past would go around saying "She's no saint. She has no right singing Christian music." How do artists overcome these anxieties? Anyway, I still strongly want to sing and strengthen and challenge my vocals. I'm overexcited, overanxious, and definitely overthinking it. Can you tell? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
macbab I don't know what you mean by offline playlists, Playlists would be fine but only if I can drag and drop to specific time slots. Example, our select board meetings need to run at 9am, Noon and 5pm EST. It seems odd to me that so many of these open source offerings are just randomized looping playlists. Viewers need to be able to know when they can tune in for specific material when town politics are involved.
Let me know if that helps clarify and it time specific scheduling is possible with Plycast!
Thanks so much for the help it is appreciated | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Going to see my brothers rock band play this weekend
They are a cover band and are very talented
My brother plays the bass
It’s going to be in a restaurant/pub that I’m familiar with.
I’m kind of nervous as there will be lots of people there, I’ll make sure to take Klonopin before I go.
I may have to wear ear plugs as well!
My cousin from Canada is driving us there
That sounds fun. I hope you get a chance to actually hear the music. Hehe but obviously if you need to wear the ear plugs, it’s a nice thing to mingle sometimes if one is capable to
wowee…cool !! I wish I was going.
Wonderful @Vertigo. Hope you have fun!!
That sounds like fun. It’s nice that it’s in a place you’re already familiar with.
I have a brother who plays the bass too.
What’s the name of the Band? You could just PM me the name if you don’t want to say what it is on the forum…only if you want to of course.
I hope you have a great time. Nothing beats seeing a good live rock act!
No I’m sorry @Patrick but id rather pass because of paranoia reasons

Slowly Spin the Wheels: Graphic Novels in the Classroom
by Val Edwards
I have been browsing through Nimble: Thinking Creatively in the Digital Age (HOW Books 2015) by Robin Landa. I wish “being nimble” was an attribute more easily attainable in education, particularly in relation to adopting graphic novels for instructional use. Often teachers’ efforts to integrate graphic novels into their curriculum are hindered by stakeholders who do not yet understand the value of multiple literacies to students.
Digital and global realities demand multiple literacies from everyone, particularly students, who are the future. Visual content requires a sophisticated level of decoding, just like accepted textual analysis. It is important to take advantage of the rich instructional opportunity and strong student appeal of comics and graphic novels.
To help support the integration of graphic novels into curriculum, I include here a link to a booklist of graphic novels with more than 100 teaching resources: http://teachingbooks.net//gnblog.
Please join us on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. CT to discuss graphic novels and their instructional uses. Advance registration is available at: http://teachingbooks.net/webinarofthemonth. Enjoy! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Apple requests return of Apple Silicon Developer Transition Kits, offers $200 toward purch...
The company in an email notified developers that it will "soon be time to return" the DTK, hardware issued to prepare app makers for the release of Apple Silicon Macs.
"Now that the new MacBook Air, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro powered by M1 are available, it'll soon be time to return the Developer Transition Kit (DTK) that was sent to you as part of the program," Apple says.
Fitted with an A12Z, the Mac mini was equipped with 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, two USB-C ports, two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI 2.0 and Gigabit Ethernet, trappings designed to mimic the first M1 Mac computers. It came loaded with a beta version of macOS Big Sur and Xcode 12.
Developers accepted into the Universal App Quick Start Program were charged a $500 fee for access to the DTK. Apple is not refunding the $500, though it is offering a $200 promotional code that can be used toward the purchase of a new 13-inch MacBook Pro, MacBook Air or Mac mini equipped with an M1 chip. Codes will be sent out upon receipt of returned DTKs and must be redeemed by May 31, 2021.
Some app makers are not pleased with Apple's compensation structure. As noted by Steve Troughton-Smith, $200 doesn't cover a third of the cost of Apple's cheapest M1 Mac, the $700 Mac mini.
TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS? That doesn't even go a third of the way towards the cheapest M1 Mac. It just about covers the 4 months the DTK was usable out of the 12 month lease you paid for

Thanks. I’ll go down to the slip tomorrow and measure it.No idea, but I know how to measure it. From "nut to nut". You're actually measuring the outer covering of the cable. You measure from the steering wheel over to the side of the boat, then back to the transom, then over to where it bolts to the motor. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
"feature not available" when attempting to log into Facebook

I just installed Opera to evaluate using it rather than IE. I am unable to log into my facebook account. When I bring up IE, I can log in just fine. If I log out there and try from Opera, I get a "feature not available" and the URL is pointing to facebook/checkpoint. I had a friend try his facebook account and he can log in just fine from my machine, so I'm assuming I have some setting in facebook that is not supported in Opera. Anybody have any idea what to check? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Once a child is returned to their birth family, they are not required to keep in contact with the foster family but foster families that have invested in a relationship with the birth family have a much higher chance of ongoing contact with the child they have cared for. Many times, we have seen the birth family include foster families for birthdays, special events, babysitting needs, etc. It is really valuable to co-parent with the birth family while you are fostering for many reasons; the opportunity to maintain an ongoing relationship after reunification is just one.

Boxing is a sport that polarizes people. You either love it, or you hate it.
Nothing in between. Ever.
Regardless of how you feel about the “sweet science,” there is one lesson that you need to be taking from the sport.
It’s a relatively recent phenomenon in the sport’s history, but by adopting this simple mindset, you’ll be ready for anything.
The ring walk.
Think about it.
Everything during these Pandemic infused days is a challenge.
Buying groceries — challenge.
Exercising — challenge.
Personal relationships — challenge.
Just meeting a friend for a coffee right now is an exercise in military planning and precision that would make superspy’s Jack Ryan or Jason Bourne sweat with anxiety.
The ring walk is designed to do two things.
One, bolster a fighter’s confidence before entering the ring.
Two, intimidate the other boxer into thinking they picked the wrong person to have a fight with.
Now for the rest of the world, that would be those of us who don’t like getting punched in the face… | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Living Lab Research Concept in Rural Areas
Aim of the project
LIVERUR aims at expanding an extremely innovative business model called Living Labs among the rural regions.
Living labs are user-centred, open-innovation ecosystems often operating in a territorial context, integrating concurrent research and innovation process within a public-private partnership. The basis for the strategic development of a rural Living Lab is in establishing a sustainable stakeholder partnership; users, policy-makers, companies, researchers enter into agreements on the basis of which they may engage in longer-term collaboration.
However, a successful Living lab business design can be expected to be highly affected by the specific context of the Living Lab rural environment and by its specific objectives and ambitions. LIVERUR project identifies Living Labs as innovative business models that are currently developing in rural areas, and it will undertake socioeconomic analysis to identify, describe and benchmark differences between the new Living Lab approach and more entrepreneurial traditional approaches (mass production, development of prices, optimising the cost structures with the enterprises, rationalisation). LIVERUR project pays particular attention to Living Labs since they foster a more sustainable mobilisation of resources, improved cooperation between operators along the value chain and lead to new services. Living Lab utilizes the open innovation concept in a wider sense, with success/failure rate determined by empirically based research key factors.
Since there is still a lack of empirically grounded studies, the short-term objective of LIVERUR is to improve knowledge of business models growing in rural areas, including a thorough understanding of their potential. In the long term, the project will increase the potential for rural economic diversification.

It's important to drink lots of water, especially if you want to improve the way you feel, think, and perform throughout your day. After all, water makes up at least half of the body and approximately ninety percent of the blood. Here are five important benefits of drinking three or four glasses of water within each 24-hour period.
Drinking Water Helps You Maintain a Healthy Weight
If you are having difficulty maintaining a healthy weight, you may want to drink more water. Doing so offers a dual benefit.
Increasing the amount of water that you drink each day can boost your metabolism and cause you to burn calories at a faster pace. As a result, you may be able to lose weight or at least stabilize it.
The more water you drink, the fuller your stomach will feel. You will probably eat less and lose weight as a result. In fact, if you drink water instead of sugary beverages, you'll ingest even fewer calories.
Drinking Water Enhances Energy Levels
Staying hydrated enhances your energy level. It does so by helping you maintain a steady body temperature, promoting waste elimination, enabling sweating during exercise, and aiding in the body's ability to absorb nutrients.
Drinking Water Helps Avoid Constipation
A variety of factors can influence the frequency of constipation. Becoming dehydrated is one of the reasons why constipation occurs. Therefore, making sure you drink enough water each day is important if you want to keep your bowel movements regular.
Drinking Water Reduces the Intensity of Headaches and Hangovers
While you can't prevent all of your headaches, you can certainly minimize their occurrence simply by drinking water. Studies have shown that dehydration can cause headaches. Drinking water throughout your day can keep your body hydrated. In fact, drinking water as soon as you notice a headache can help to minimize its intensity.
Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol causes the body to become dehydrated. In fact, the alcohol acts as a diuretic and reduces the body's hydration level. If you are going to drink alcohol, you may want to alternate each glass with a glass of water.
Drinking Water Improves Brain Function
The brain needs water to function properly. Water allows the brain's neurotransmitters to perform without difficulty and allows you to think more fluidly. Dehydration, on the other hand, interrupts your ability to reason and draw conclusions.
The simple truth is that the body needs water to function at optimal levels. The general rule of thumb is to drink eight 8-ounce glasses each day. Other factors can influence this number, especially medical conditions. You may want to talk with your doctor to find out how much water you should be drinking every day if you are on any medications. Enjoying a glass of water every couple of hours is a good way to ensure you are staying properly hydrated.
Home Drinking Water Filters as a Solution to Having the Best Qulity Drinking Water at Home
To ensure that you get the best quality drinking water at home, which tastes good and improves the taste of your cooking, it is advisable to install a drinking water filter - as the most economical solution to drinkign water filtration problems. There are several types of drinking water filters:

Portrait photographer Blake Little covered models in honey for his series entitled "Preservation." Caught in movement, but trapped in the viscose honey, the models in "Preservation" begin to look like sculptures in motion.
The idea was born when he used a little honey as a prop in a more traditional photo shoot. Little immediately noticed how a hand drenched in honey looked like it had been preserved in amber.

Leicester-based Advanced Machinery Services (AMS) will be opening a 10,000 sq ft purpose-built showroom and training facility at its Skeffington Mill site later this year. The new low carbon footprint building will house up to 18 new and refurbished machines in the showroom, all powered up and fully operational with extraction. The facility will also house a retail shop for both the trade and hobbyist to purchase machines and ancillaries.
“Our business has seen tremendous growth over the last few years and this new showroom, training and retail facility is a major investment in our future,” explains Steve McGloin, a director at AMS.
“We recognise the demands of the market are changing all the time. Customers want a choice; some can’t afford the level of investment required to buy new equipment, but they need a machine and so buying a refurbished model with a 12 month warranty is very attractive to them.
“Our new showroom and training facility will reflect this need, with both new and refurbished equipment on display. Also, from our point of view, having money tied up in stock is expensive; consequently, we want to fully utilise the showroom machinery by using it for training purposes as well.”
Cementing the relationship with specialist training company Didac
For the training, AMS is extending its association with training company Didac. By delivering quality training that is second to none, Bristol-based Didac has established a reputation as the premier training company in the furniture manufacturing and woodworking industries. It manages and runs the health and safety at the industry’s W14 exhibition and is heavily involved working with the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).
Over the last three or four years AMS has developed close ties with Jon Gibson and Martin James, the founders of Didac. “Jon and Martin are well respected in the industry,” confirms Steve McGloin, “our companies share similar philosophies, so it was a perfect fit for us to develop a partnership with Jon, Martin and their team.”
A comprehensive range of training and consultancy services
“In the early days, we offered training services to CNC machine users,” explains Jon Gibson, managing director of Didac. “Since then we have expanded our offer to include a wide range of training and consultancy services. When the opportunity arose to become part of this exciting new venture with AMS, we jumped at the chance.
“AMS is centrally located in the UK and therefore ideally sited in terms of it being a convenient place for companies in the Midlands and the North to send staff for training. At the AMS Skeffington Mill site we will replicate similar training packages as to those we offer in Bristol.
“Our two Nottingham-based trainers will deliver courses out of the AMS building. Initially we will be offering courses to those already in work that need up-skilling or refresher training and also, via our National Funding Contract, training those people who are unemployed and looking to gain qualifications to move into the industry.
“For AMS and Didac, this relationship will strengthen both parties’ already strong reputations. For Didac, it allows us to have an impact on the Midlands and North of the country, whilst for AMS it offers another string to its bow and makes maximum use of the new facility.
“Finally, it is good for the industry as a whole, something which is very important to both AMS and Didac. We will be running courses that vary in length from one day to six or 12 months and in the future will be looking at ways to work with the schools in the area to train up teachers,” concludes Jon Gibson.
To help promote the training courses run through the new Leicester facility, there will be a member of Didac’s team on the AMS stand (8C335) at W14, 5-8th October NEC Birmingham. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Apple announced the launch of iOS 16.1 in a Thursday press release.
Starting today, iPhone users can update their phone for access to Apple’s workout subscription service Fitness+.
The update will also include ‘Clean Energy Charging’ and ‘Live Activities’ features.
On Thursday, Apple announced in a press release that iOS 16.1 is on the way following the September launch of iOS 16. The most notable feature of the company’s newest update is access to Apple’s Fitness+, which was previously only available to Apple Watch owners.
Fitness+ is Apple’s workout subscription service that offers users guided workouts and meditations for $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year, but Apple says it’s offering three months of the service for free with the purchase of a new iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV.
“We built Fitness+ to be the most inclusive and welcoming fitness service in the world, and the response from our users has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Jay Blahnik, Apple’s vice president of Fitness Technologies in the release. Within Fitness+, a new workout program — titled Yoga for Every Runner — is being introduced along with an Artist Spotlight series and new fitness collections to choose from.
Apple has partnered with Target, UnitedHealthcare, Mobile Health, and SilverSneakers to offer exclusive perks to Fitness+ users. Members of Target’s loyalty program, Target Circle, will receive a free four-month trial of Fitness+, according to the release. According to the release, the feature will come already integrated into the Fitness app on your Apple device.
The tech giant is also introducing a “Clean Energy Charging” feature that users can turn on and off in their settings, CNBC reports. In a photo shared by CNBC, a description explains the feature underneath the on/off switch. “In your region, iPhone will try to reduce your carbon footprint by selectively charging when lower carbon emission electricity is available. iPhone learns from your daily charging routine so it can reach full charge before you need to use it,” it reads.
Users can also expect a “Live Activities” feature to show up on their lock screen after updating to iOS 16.1. The feature will show information from third-party apps such as sports game updates, status of a food delivery order, or ride-sharing apps, according to the CNBC report. Apple’s September iOS 16 update introduced a new look for iPhone users’ lock screens and home screens along with the ability to unsend messages and schedule emails to be sent.

Stardock’s New 4X Strategy Game Releases in July
Stardock Entertainment, the brains behind massively successful 4X strategy (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate) game franchises like Galactic Civilization and Sins of The Solar Empire, have announced the release date of their new 4X strategy title, Sorcerer King on July 16, 2015.
The game has been on Early Access on Steam since, August 2014, and has received mostly positive reviews there even with numerous bugs and unpolished features persistent at that time.
A New Brand of 4X
What is quite surprising about this title is that Steam Curators have described the game as, "This is easily Stardock's most polished fantasy game. The unique way it combines 4X with an RPG makes it truly special already, even in Early Access..." With a 4X portfolio as rich as Stardock’s, you would think the above statement to be mere exaggeration owing to the excitement of the launch of this game.
But such accolades may not have been bestowed on this game merely on a whim. Steam goes on to describe this game as the head of a tiny kingdom which survived the total conquest of the Sorcerer King. It is your job to send out scout parties to explore the world for scattered resistance groups, and bring them under one banner against the common enemy.
This certainly promises a new take on the 4X strategy genre, where players basically pick up the pieces against the victor of what would otherwise be an already-conquered map in any other 4X game. With the added RPG flavor, this may prove to be a really interesting game. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Positive Technologies has shared the results of penetration tests conducted in 2023. According to the research, only 4% of organizations are protected against attackers breaching their internal network. In every company where an internal penetration test was conducted, attackers could have seized full control of the IT infrastructure. The fastest time to penetrate the local network was one day.
Penetration tests were conducted by PT SWARM across companies in various sectors such as IT, finance, industry, services, and telecommunications. The goal of penetration testing is to determine whether an external or internal attacker can successfully attack an organization and trigger an event that is deemed non-tolerable for the business.
The tests revealed that in 63% of organizations, a low-skilled attacker could have penetrated the local network from the outside, and in a similar proportion of organizations, a low-skilled internal attacker could have gained full control over the IT infrastructure.
In 96% of projects, the organizations were found to be unprotected from attackers attempting to penetrate their internal network. Only one company withstood the pentest, with researchers managing to access only the so-called demilitarized zone (a buffer area between the internet and the internal network) thanks to prior pentesting and top-notch vulnerability remediation.
The fastest penetration of the organization’s LAN occurred on the first day of testing. On average, it took specialists 10 days to gain access.
In 100% of companies where an internal test was conducted, bad actors could have gained full control over the infrastructure. In one of the projects, the specialists gained maximum privileges in the Active Directory domain after 6.5 hours, while in other projects, the figure varied from one to seven days.
In almost every company, the specialists managed to obtain employee credentials and gain unauthorized access to important confidential information, including intellectual property and internal communications.
Positive Technologies Research Analyst Grigory Prokhorov, said, “In every organization where PT SWARM conducted internal penetration tests, maximum privileges in the domain were gained. In 90% of cases, the possibility of triggering non-tolerable events was verified; for this, the specialists did not always require full control over the IT infrastructure. For example, even in a company where PT SWARM couldn’t access the LAN, the specialists proved that unauthorized access to a database with personal data of over 460,000 users was possible.
To achieve cyber resilience, a company needs to not only conduct penetration tests but also keep its IT infrastructure always ready to fend off cyberattacks. That’s why experts at Positive recommend that organizations continuously assess and monitor the security of their critical assets by identifying and making attacker pathways more difficult. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Genesis Group's SSEG division, Touchpoint Energy, were contracted to help the developers of the Darling Green Estate to conceptualize and develop a unique energy solution for the estate.

This collection contains monthly mean surface NO2 concentrations for Germany derived from Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI data. The Sentinel-5P NO2 data is generated by DLR and provided in the framework of the mFUND-Project "S-VELD".
The surface NO2 data are concentrations with the unit "µg/m3". Sentinel-5P observes Germany on a daily basis. Only cloud-free measurements (cloud fraction < ~0.2) are used and a strict data quality filter is applied to the Sentinel-5P data which can result in limited spatial coverage (especially in the winter months). The Sentinel-5P surface NO2 data within each month are averaged and gridded onto a regular UTM grid. The number of measurements used in the calculation of the averaged value are included in this collection as well. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Global Urban Footprint® (GUF®) dataset is based on the radar (SAR) satellite imagery of the German satellites TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X. By creating the GUF database, scientists at the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have succeeded in using a newly developed method to generate a global raster map of the world’s built-up pattern in a so far unprecedented spatial resolution of about 12m per raster cell.
Using a fully automated processing system, a global coverage of more than 180,000 very high resolution SAR images (3m ground resolution) has been analyzed acquired between 2010 and 2013. Thereby, the backscatter amplitudes of the SAR data have been used in combination with derived textural information to delineate human settlements in a highly automated, complex decision-making process. The evaluation procedure based mainly on radar signals detects the characteristic vertical structures of human habitations – primarily built-up areas. In addition, auxiliary data such as digital elevation models have been included to improve the classification process. In total, over 20 million datasets were processed with a combined volume of about 320 terabytes. The final global maps show three coverage categories (e. g. in a B/W representation): Built-up areas (vertical structures only) in black, non-built-up surfaces in white, areas of no coverage by TSX/TDX satellites (NoData) as most parts of the oceans in grey.
The final product has been optimized for fast online access through web services by merging the 5 x 5 degree GUF tiles into a single global mosaic. Furthermore reduced resolution overviews have been generated with an interpolation algorithm, that computes the average value of all contribution pixels. The global mosaic uses PackBits compression to reduce file size.
GUF® and Global Urban Footprint® are protected as trademarks. A non-exclusive, spatially and temporally unlimited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use GUF is granted free of charge for a) scientific purposes on the high resolution version of GUF® (0.4 arcseconds), b) non-commercial purposes on the low resolution version of the GUF® (2.8 arcseconds).

Introducing the 4x3razor Digital Pedometer by Ozeri – the world’s thinnest and most advanced 3D Tri-Axis pedometer. Unlike traditional pedometers that do not work accurately unless secured vertically, the 4x3razor utilizes a new advanced 3D Bosch sensor from Germany with Tri-Axis technology that provides superior accuracy in any position, whether up, down, flat, on its side, or at any angle. The 4x3razor’s Bosch Sensor is a digital accelerometer which is far more accurate than mechanical sensors used in other pedometers. Compact, sleek and razor thin, the 4x3razor Digital Pedometer is only 0.5cm (less than 0.2″) thick and weighs just half an ounce to fit into the tightest pocket without being noticed. It also includes a detachable lanyard and belt clip for the ultimate convenience. A personal trainer par excellence, the 4x3razor is a 2nd generation pedometer used by professional 100 mile ultra runners such as Evan Kimber to accurately record steps, distance, calories consumed, fat burned and time spent exercising. This advanced Digital Pedometer filters out vibrations and only begins counting after it detects a sequence of continuous steps for greater accuracy. The 4x3razor Digital Pedometer ships with an installed Lithium battery, a bonus free Lithium battery for future use, a belt clip and detachable lanyard and instruction manual. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.

John Calvin Abney
November 15, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
John Calvin Abney doesn’t stand still. He would be the first to tell you that.
Abney originally made his name as a rowdy side man, playing guitar, pedal steel, keys and drums for a number of other acts. Thanks to years of extensive touring, both solo and as a gun-for-hire, Abney is now possessed of some impressive instrumental stage chops. Lately, it’s lyricism where he finds his inspiration, with encouragement from a host of Oklahoma songwriters in close proximity. His 2014 and 2015 releases, “Empty Candles” and “Better Luck,” find him abandoning his backseat post in favor of plaintive love songs and the misadventures of a handful of colorful invented characters. There are glimpses of technical prowess in this new chapter, to be sure—that is to say, to play is still the thing, but now with an intent focus on storytelling.
Few songwriters can weave so seamlessly in and out of genre that listeners are left wondering if they indeed heard what they thought they heard. And if they listen again, they’re likely to hear something else. Abney’s songs can be both frenetic and meditative, deeply affectionate and mired in loneliness, and, like Abney himself, both road-weary and ready for adventure. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It has been 30 years since the rise and fall of the 89 Democracy Movement (八九民运) in China that culminated in the infamous Tiananmen Square Massacre on June 4, 1989.
On that day, the Chinese military carried out a brutal crackdown on student-led demonstrations calling for democratic reforms. The Chinese Red Cross estimated that 2,700 civilians were killed, but other sources point to a much higher toll. A confidential US government document unveiled in 2014 reported that a Chinese internal assessment estimated that at least 10,454 civilians were killed.
The Communist Party of China has never publicly acknowledged these events or accounted for its actions with an independent investigation. There are no references to the 89 Democracy Movement in any history textbooks and most university students in China have never heard about the massacre.
Global Voices has been covering the issue for over a decade. This year we commemorate the 30th anniversary of what led to the June 4 massacre to fulfill our duty to keep the memory of those events alive, despite continuous efforts by Beijing to deny basic historical truth.
Beijing’s determination to censor any mention or veiled reference to June 4 has resulted in a perpetual game of cat and mouse taking place online. In April, a foreign ad featuring images of the Tank Man circulated briefly on Chinese social media before being suppressed. Another of our stories explains how Chinese netizens play with censorship and come up with creative ways to allude to the event without mentioning it by its name, yet when they get caught, the punishment is immediate and severe. All of this in an environment where obtaining information that is not filtered by China’s Great Firewall of online censorship has become very dangerous and almost impossible.
Expressing critical views on social media platforms outside of China also poses a personal risk, as you can read in this story. And expressing alternative views not aligned with the Party’s line, even if embedded in Marxism, usually results in harassment and arrest, as we describe here. This draconian censorship is being exported worldwide by Beijing, including to Hong Kong.
Yet the duty to remember continues to inspire people and netizens across the globe. Direct witnesses speak up in emotional interviews, while brave journalists in Hong Kong tell their own stories about June 4. Hong Kong also hosts copies of the most emblematic symbol of the movement, the Goddess of Democracy in public space. In Taiwan, a powerful art installation displayed in central Taipei pays tribute to the events of 1989. Global netizens, including Reddit users, also use humor, art, and online memes to keep the memory of the Chinese pro-democracy movement alive.

Social distancing has created a vacuum. You can either choose to fill it with boredom, negativity and angst, or if you’re able, you can make something out of it. A flood of TikToks, “Tiger King” and countless naps can fill the canyon of boredom as we try to distract ourselves from worrying about the world. But, as lovely as Doja Cat is, we can only bop to “Say So” so many times. Then what? My advice: turn to gardening.
Sure, it may be a hobby of the elderly, but aren’t we all at least partially retired at this point?
I was thrilled to be welcomed home early by the beautiful rolling hills of Tennessee. Smells of springtime and allergies rushed into my nose only to be pushed out by four forceful sneezes. I traded out my suitcase for a shovel and dug into my bonus months of gardening.
Every year, my dad and I plant rows of sunset-orange marigolds. Zinnias explode out of the ground in fireworks of magenta, canary yellow, fuschia and tiger orange. My mom’s dinners pop with flavor from our homegrown dill and tomatoes.
Gardens became my home away from home. I’d float along the sidewalks to class in tandem with the butterflies visiting Mason’s wildflower havens. I found peace on a bench in the Innovation garden while the sunlight danced across my textbook pages. The U.S. Botanical Gardens offered me sanctuary in the Washington swamp. I even had a small collection of plants in my otherwise bland dorm room (may they rest in peace).
I always seem to return to gardens, but why? What makes nature so special?
For one, it’s absolutely beautiful. Daisies seem to laugh with each other, sharing a secret I’ll never be privy to. Moonflowers and morning glories twirl up the fence, reaching in vain to join the soft clouds parading through the sky. As you water the black-eyed susans, the sun plays with the water, painting a mesmerizing rainbow that lasts only a second.
In a world ruled by chaos and chance, it feels reassuring to have control over something, even if it is just a jumble of flora. Your fears wriggle out of your consciousness like worms from the ground during a thunderstorm.
Unlike a paper you work tirelessly on only to be handed in and forgotten about, the plants are there for you (at least for the season). They depend just as much on you as you do on them. Nature may be their mother, but you are their caretaker.
While we’re safe at home, I encourage you to pick up gardening, or another relaxing hobby. Sow seeds of happiness into your life, and soon smiling sunflowers will replace your worry-weeds. Sometimes, the frost snaps your plants, and your bushes have frosted tips and sing in a boy band, but the sun will come out, and they’ll grow back stronger. Just like the plants, with proper care and love, we’ll be back stronger than ever. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Can You Rollover a 529 Into an IRA?
Withdrawals from 529 plans may be made tax-free if they’re used to cover qualified education expenses; however, federal income taxes may apply to earnings withdrawn from nonqualified accounts.
The SECURE Act 2.0 includes a provision enabling beneficiaries of 529 plans to use excess funds to open Roth IRAs without incurring penalties, giving families more choice in whether to prioritize paying for education or strengthening retirement savings. This may give families greater flexibility between paying for education costs or investing in savings for retirement purposes.
529 plans now offer account holders the ability to roll unused funds over into an IRA. This feature can help families avoid taxes and penalties associated with non-education withdrawals from their accounts.
Experts note that this change makes 529 accounts more appealing for those already holding one or more, though families should seek professional guidance regarding which expenses qualify as qualified college costs and when to use these savings plans.
Most states provide state-sponsored plans with high contribution limits. You can also open a national plan that invests your contributions across a range of investment options like stocks and bonds. When opening such plans, however, one expert emphasizes the importance of designating a beneficiary – otherwise changing this person could trigger gift tax ramifications – who shares your goals for funding education. Many age-based investments reallocate automatically over time which can help increase returns over time.
Beneficiaries may withdraw funds without incurring tax or penalty in certain instances; this typically applies when they can no longer use them for education expenses – for instance if their beneficiary dies, becomes disabled, attends an academy affiliated with U.S. military academies, or wins a scholarship.
Even if you do not wish to undertake a rollover, the funds can still be kept and changed to someone else as beneficiary; such as spouses, children, first cousins, descendants or siblings. Beneficiaries could even use the funds for graduate school tuition costs, law school studies or accounting studies or master’s degrees.
Starting in 2024, under certain conditions, the SECURE 2.0 Act offers you an advantageous way of rolling over unused 529 assets of up to $35,000 per beneficiary into a Roth IRA without incurring taxes and penalties – an attractive option for families that overfunded their college savings plans.
As long as withdrawals from a 529 account are used to cover qualified educational expenses, their withdrawals won’t be taxed – which can come in handy should your child decide against attending college or choose military service instead. However, you’ll owe income taxes plus an additional 10-percent penalty fee on earnings if withdrawing funds for any other reason than qualifying expenses.
Beginning in 2024, the SECURE 2.0 Act will enable you to convert any unused 529 money to a Roth IRA. To do this, a trustee-to-trustee transfer between accounts must occur – be sure to follow your provider’s instructions when conducting this transfer and keep records in case an audit arises.
Savers who find it hard to use all their 529 funds may find this change beneficial; however, savvy investors may wish to purposefully overfund their 529 plans with the aim of eventually rolling over any excess into tax-free Roth IRAs for themselves or family members.
A 529 plan requires a custodian who oversees its assets; typically this person will be either the parent of the beneficiary, but anyone can serve. They manage the account and can make changes to name, birthdate and Social Security number of beneficiaries as needed. Most plans also offer age-based portfolios which invest more aggressively when beneficiaries are younger while shifting more conservative investments as they near college age.
New rules allow families to roll unused funds from a 529 into a Roth IRA without incurring taxes or penalties, provided it happens within 15 years after opening the original 529 account. Otherwise, any amounts transferred become taxable income and trigger the 10% penalty tax for nonqualified withdrawals. Carter McClung believes this rule could be especially valuable to families that use 529s as part of an overall savings strategy; additionally it’s something worth keeping in mind if their beneficiary opts not to attend college or receives scholarships, according to him. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Originally bought my first bag of beans in Kigali and loved it so much that I reordered 2kg!
I have been buying Good Human coffee on trips to Rwanda or passing through the airport. So pleased to be able to purchase in the UK especially as Good Human funds such an excellent cause.
I really enjoyed the Good Human - Muyumbu Specialty Coffee. It had good flavour and aromas, not too strong but robust enough to be satisfying.
I really enjoyed my first coffee order from Good Human so much, I subscribed for regular a delivery. Good to know I can enjoy my coffee and make a difference to the lives of the people who grew it! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do ship to most countries internationally. All orders above US$100 qualify for free shipping.
Do you have a retail store?
Not yet. We will, however, be exhibiting at various pop-ups across the country (Singapore). Please subscribe to our newsletter to get updates.
Are your products cruelty-free?
Yes. All our products are manufactured in a vegan and cruelty-free environment. We are in the process of receiving the PETA cruelty-free and vegan certification, which might take a few months.
How do I use the LIPSKIT?
Please see a demo video here.
How much time does it take to create the lip colors?
Once you assemble the kit, you'll be able to make any color in less than 20 secs. All it needs is a few pumps of the refills, and then the best part - mixing the colors in the jar. That's all there is to it.
Can I reuse my pots?
Absolutely. In fact, that is the idea. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Just wipe the pots and the brush clean with a tissue soaked in makeup remover or coconut oil (or even baby oil), and it'll be as good as new for reuse.
How many colors can I make with the LIPSKIT?
The LIPSKIT contains 5 color refills - red, yellow, blue, white and black. You can make endless colors with various combinations of these 5 colors. Of course, you won't be able to get certain colors from the spectrum such as neons, hot pinks, bright purples etc. But for all practical purposes, you'll be able to make any color you desire.
How can I make the lip colors more moist?
It's super simple. Just add a few drops of our 'Moisture Drops' made from 100% pure organic Jojoba oil to your prepared lip color, and that'll instantly make it more moist and less drying.
What is the texture of the lip colors?
The lip colors are liquid, comfortable matté, ultra long-lasting, water-proof and pigmented. However, just like you get the ability to play with colors, our texture transformer 'Moisture Drops' gives you the ability to play with textures. You can mix a couple of drops of our 'Moisture Drops' to your prepared lip colors, and transform them to moist or even a tint!
How long will the LIPSKIT bullets last me?
Each of the 5 bullets is 5ml (equivalent to full-sized liquid lipsticks). So they will last you as long as 5 full sized liquid lipsticks last you. Depends on your usage and how adventurous you get :)
How long will the prepared lip colors last me?
Since each color recipe contains different ratios mix of the 5 refills, it depends on the color you prepare. However, on average, a color will last you at least 3-4 weeks without drying. If your prepared color feels like it's drying up, just add a few drops of the 'Moisture Drops' to revive the lip colors.
So the prepared colors will dry up in the pots?
With time, the solvents in the liquid lipstick evaporate and tend to make the colors thicker. If you feel like the color is getting thicker or dry, just add a few drops of 'Moisture Drops' to revive them.
Do you have a patent on the LIPSKIT?
We are in the process of getting a utility patent on the device. It will take a couple of years till the patent is granted. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Why Online DNA Testing Raises Serious Privacy Concerns by: Off The Grid News
GNN Note – We would suggest staying away from anything that is known to be collecting DNA samples. The Wuhan Bat-Flu Stew test are nothing more than a DNA collection operation. / END
Online DNA testing has become a huge trend in recent years, and it has already taken many countries by storm. While receiving your results and comparing them to those of others can seem like a fun experience, it also comes with numerous strings attached that people often don’t think about. And this is a growing problem, because even when most of us do wake up about the situation, it will probably be too late. Companies have already managed to obtain lots of DNA samples, and there’s no coming back from that. The only thing we can change at this point is how much more we give them on top of that.
Not all companies are taking an aggressive approach to collecting data from their users. There are also cases like Legacy Tree, which strive to do things more professionally, for example, by providing direct on-site testing by specialists instead of sending insecure home-based kits. You can find more information about their progress through the market in the review by top10.com, which goes into detail about how the company operates and what their current goals are. However, they are not the only one – the market isn’t exclusively taken over by companies trying to exploit their customers’ DNA… at least not yet.
The Potential Impact on Health Insurance and Healthcare in General
One of the specific areas of interest in this field are diseases based on a genetic predisposition. DNA tests can reveal a surprising lot about your body, in some cases bringing some uncomfortable truths to light. While it can be useful to know that you may be at a higher risk for a particular disease, this could also lead to unexpected problems. Health insurance providers in some countries are already doing everything they can to make things more expensive for people born with certain conditions. Handing them the tools to discriminate based on the mere possibility of developing a condition is going to push this into an even more uncomfortable zone, and it’s not a bright future to look towards.
Gene Patents Are on the Horizon
There’s also the question of ownership. So far, at least in the US, companies have been having trouble patenting human genes – but there’s no guarantee that this is going to be the case forever. Many companies have been fighting hard to change that situation, and the possible future implications are not yet clear. While obviously nobody is going to chase you down because you were born with patented genes, it could make things more difficult for companies that want to provide gene-based therapy for conditions that have been traditionally difficult to treat. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Did you know that Halloween face paints labeled as “safe”, “FDA-approved”, “hypoallergenic” or “non-toxic” can still contain dangerous, skin-irritating metals such as lead, nickel, cobalt, and chromium? Just what you want seeping into your kid’s pores as they run around from house to house collecting their sugary treats, right?
These face paint makers don’t add harmful metals on purpose. They’re an unfortunate by-product of low-quality ingredients that weren’t tested for safety and purity… and yet they (irresponsibly) use them anyway.
But while those by-products may have been unintentional, most face paints also contain other (intentional) ingredients that you wouldn’t want in your makeup, let alone your kid’s face paints. Common examples include parabens, formaldehyde, synthetic dyes, and petroleum-based ingredients.
Not only does this stuff sit on your kid’s skin, but it can (and does) get into their eyes and mouth as well. Agh!! Let’s make sure they’re using natural face paints that don’t have toxic ingredients!
Natural Face Paints
Overall, you’ll want to look for face paints tinted with natural pigments from fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other botanicals. It’s also a good idea to check the brand’s website to make sure all its ingredients have been independently tested for safety and purity.
Earth Paint’s clay and mineral-based face paint is the safest and cleanest I could find. It’s handcrafted in Oregon and is free from all the nasties, including heavy metals, parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, petroleum-based pigments, and nanoparticles. It also comes with a bamboo applicator, which is convenient, and it washes off easily with water.
Ingredients: distilled water, natural clay & mineral pigments, organic castor seed oil, organic beeswax, shea butter (organic & fair trade), glycerin (from coconut oil), Cetearyl alcohol (from natural vegetable oils), carrageenan seaweed, olive-mulse (olive-based emulsifier), and 1% Optiphen (formaldehyde-free & paraben-free preservative)
Earth Paint (Natural Clay & Minerals)
Or Skip the Face Paint Altogether
Another option is to find Halloween costumes that don’t require any face paints at all. Pinterest is a great place to find fun costume ideas for the kids. Look at these. I mean, come on! 😆 No makeup needed. You don’t even have to get super creative. You can pretty much stick anything on babies and toddlers and they’ll look adorable.
Be Sure to Check the Label
If you do opt for Halloween makeup, just be sure to check the label. I spent several hours searching online for safer face paints and I can’t tell you how many times I found brands that will happily tell you what IS NOT in their makeup… and yet they don’t list what’s actually IS in it. That feels deceiving because, while claims like “free from formaldehyde, heavy metals, and parabens” is a great start, it’s only a start. Without knowing exactly what is in the face paint, it’s impossible to know for sure whether it is truly safe for kids.
If you can’t easily find the ingredients on the label or their website, consider that a red flag and choose another brand. Or skip the face paint altogether—kids will have fun on Halloween with or without it!

Sometimes, the most effective beauty and self-care remedies are made from the simplest ingredients. One such combination is Vaseline and coffee, a duo that can do wonders for your skin. This easy-to-make mixture is packed with benefits, and once you try it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t know about it sooner!
The Magic of Vaseline
Vaseline, also known as petroleum jelly, is a staple in many households. It’s known for its moisturizing properties, creating a barrier that locks in moisture and protects the skin from drying out. Vaseline is incredibly versatile and can be used for everything from healing dry skin to soothing minor cuts and burns.
The Power of Coffee
Coffee is more than just a morning pick-me-up. It’s rich in antioxidants and caffeine, which can have numerous benefits for the skin. Coffee grounds are a natural exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath. The caffeine in coffee also improves circulation, reducing puffiness and even helping to diminish the appearance of cellulite.
Why Mix Vaseline and Coffee?
When you combine Vaseline and coffee, you create a powerful skin treatment that exfoliates, moisturizes, and revitalizes your skin. This mixture is especially effective for areas that need extra care, such as dry patches, rough elbows, knees, or areas with cellulite.
How to Make and Use the Vaseline and Coffee Mix
This simple recipe takes just minutes to prepare and can be used as part of your regular skincare routine.
1 tablespoon of Vaseline
1 tablespoon of finely ground coffee
Mix the Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the Vaseline and ground coffee. Stir well until you have a smooth, consistent mixture. The coffee grounds should be evenly distributed throughout the Vaseline.
Application: Apply the mixture to clean, dry skin. Gently massage it in using circular motions. The coffee grounds will exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells, while the Vaseline locks in moisture.
Focus on Problem Areas: Pay special attention to areas that are dry, rough, or prone to cellulite, such as elbows, knees, or thighs. The caffeine in the coffee can help improve circulation, while the exfoliation helps smooth the skin’s texture.
Leave On and Rinse: Allow the mixture to sit on your skin for about 10-15 minutes to let the ingredients work their magic. Afterward, rinse off with warm water. You’ll notice your skin feels softer, smoother, and more hydrated.
Benefits You’ll Love
Exfoliation: The coffee grounds act as a gentle exfoliant, removing dead skin cells and leaving your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated.
Moisturization: Vaseline provides deep hydration, helping to soothe dry, cracked skin and locking in moisture for longer-lasting softness.
Improved Circulation: The caffeine in coffee helps stimulate blood flow, which can reduce puffiness and give your skin a healthy, glowing appearance.
Cellulite Reduction: Regular use of this mixture can help reduce the appearance of cellulite by improving circulation and smoothing the skin.
Why Didn’t I Know About This Earlier?
The combination of Vaseline and coffee is a simple yet powerful way to enhance your skincare routine. It’s cost-effective, easy to make, and delivers impressive results. Once you try it, you’ll likely find yourself reaching for this DIY remedy time and time again. It’s the kind of beauty secret that makes you wonder how you ever lived without it!
Mixing Vaseline and coffee is a game-changer for your skincare routine. Whether you’re looking to exfoliate, moisturize, or reduce the appearance of cellulite, this mixture has got you covered. Give it a try and experience the delightful results for yourself. You’ll be amazed at how something so simple can make such a big difference! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
MARION, Ohio – Growth Energy, the coalition of U.S. ethanol supporters, today issued the following statement after Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack visited a Growth Energy-member ethanol plant in Marion, Ohio and showed his continuing support for renewable fuels as a means to revitalize rural America.
Vilsack’s visit follows an April visit by President Obama to a Growth Energy member plant in Macon, Mo., during his ‘White House to Main Street’ tour. Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis noted that the Administration’s support of domestic ethanol will help create jobs in our local communities, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce our nation’s addiction to foreign oil.
“Both President Obama and Secretary Vilsack have seen firsthand the role that domestic ethanol can play in making our nation more energy independent, rebuilding our economy and creating U.S. jobs,” said Buis. “We appreciate the support of the White House and key members of President Obama’s cabinet. We have a great opportunity with domestic ethanol, and the leadership of Secretary Vilsack and President Obama is critical if we’re going to see a cleaner, brighter and more secure future for our children.”
While touring the POET Biorefining-Marion plant, Secretary Vilsack publicly said he saw the need for increasing the number of blender pumps available to distribute ethanol, and the number of Flex fuel Vehicles on the road. Both of those objectives are components of Growth Energy’s Fueling Freedom plan to redirect funds currently used to pay for the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC) toward infrastructure investments that will create competition in the fuels market and give consumers true freedom to choose their fuel.
“The Fueling Freedom plan would build out the infrastructure in the United States to create a path that leads to a genuinely free market – an open market where consumers can choose between gasoline and renewable, homegrown ethanol. We thank Secretary Vilsack for his continuing support and for his efforts to ensure a cleaner, more secure energy future for America,” Buis added.
To learn more about the Growth Energy Fueling Freedom Plan visit www.growthenergy.org/fuelingfreedom
About Growth Energy
Growth Energy is a group committed to the promise of agriculture and growing America’s economy through cleaner, greener energy. Growth Energy members recognize America needs a new ethanol approach. Through smart policy reform and a proactive grassroots campaign, Growth Energy promotes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, expanding the use of ethanol in gasoline, decreasing our dependence on foreign oil, and creating American jobs at home.

This wouldn’t be the first time that Chris Brown has put a crazy but unique twist on one of his cars. In the past, the entertainer has turned his Lamborghini Gallardo into a P-51 fighter jet, and even more recently, a life-sized Hot Wheels color disaster.
As a successor to his Gallardo, Brown decided to give his Aventador an intimidating military look. Produced by JC’s Custom Paint in Bellflower, California, the new look to this Lamborghini was meant to stand out from all of the rest and it’s pretty safe to say that they have successfully reached their goal.
Before the new scheme was added, this particular Aventador was a very simple grey with black wheels. Apparently, the dark grey color on his Lamborghini did not draw enough attention to meet his needs.
What could possibly be next? Could it be his Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss gifted to him by Rihanna? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Winter driving can sometimes be intimidating, especially when conditions are snowy or icy. If road conditions are dangerous, consider making alternate travel arrangements or postponing your trip until conditions improve.
Follow these steps to help keep yourself safe and collision-free during the winter driving season.
Step 1: Make sure that your vehicle is prepared for winter driving.
- Winter tires are a good option, as they will provide greater traction under snowy or icy conditions.
- Keep a snow brush/scraper in your car, along with possible emergency items such as a lightweight shovel, battery jumper cables, and a flashlight.
- Make sure that mirrors, all windows, and the top of your vehicle, are free of snow or frost before getting onto the road.
Step 2: Drive smoothly and slowly
- Don’t make any abrupt turns or stops when driving. Doing so will often cause your vehicle to lose control and skid.
- Driving too quickly is the main cause of winter collisions. Be sure to drive slowly and carefully on snow and ice covered roads.
Step 3: Don’t tailgate.
- Tailgating becomes much worse in winter weather. Stopping takes much longer on snowy and icy roads than on dry pavement, so be sure to leave enough room between your vehicle and the one in front of you.
Step 4: Brake before making turns.
- Brake slowly to reduce speed before entering turns. Once you have rounded the corner you can accelerate again.
Step 5: Lights On.
- Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.
Step 6: No Cruise Control.
- Never use cruise control if conditions are snowy, icy, or wet, because if your car hydroplanes, your car will try to accelerate and you may lose control of your vehicle.
Step 7: Don’t “pump” the brakes.
- If your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), do not “pump” the brakes. Apply constant pressure and let the system do its work.
Step 8: Pay attention.
- Manoeuvres are more difficult to make in the snow. Be sure to anticipate what your next move is going to be to give yourself lots of room for turns and stopping. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Though there are many designs to choose from, fireplace doors consist of basically two kinds. Glass or metal are significantly less costly as they look, as well as they can either be completely installed with the product, like a cabinet, or perhaps they can be fitted to slide in as well as out.
Overhead Door And Fireplace
Thankfully, this's a somewhat effortless thing to do. All you will need is a dry cloth as well as a small amount of window cleaner (for cup doors) or maybe steel polisher (for metallic screens) to clean it. Doors work as a barrier for practical flying sparks too, keeping your carpet and the home safe of yours.
Very Tall Commercial Garage Doors, Fire House Doors, Corrosion Resistant
There are the cabinet like doors which open and close the same as your typical cabinets as well as the regular style doors which work by sliding back and forth similar to an accordion. But fireplace doors are very important extras with lots of benefits. One cleaning solution that's suggested is your basic ammonia.

Santa Monica, CA - March 23, 2023 - GumGum, a contextual-first, global digital advertising platform, today announced their partnership with Amagi, the global leader in cloud-based SaaS technology for broadcast and connected TV. This partnership enables the use of GumGum’s In-Video unit, a recently patented, dynamic non-intrusive overlay ad format, within the Amagi THUNDERSTORM platform.
Nearly one-third of TV ads play to empty rooms and viewers are four times more likely to leave the room during a commercial break than change the channel (study). GumGum’s In-Video ad unit bypasses the commercial break and puts the ad directly into the content the person is coming to watch. In testing the ad unit, 63% of users preferred the In-Video unit over pre-roll because their viewing experience was not interrupted. Pre-roll ads were also twice as likely to be abandoned by the user when compared to In-Video. When ads are contextually-aligned to video content and don’t disrupt playback, consumers report a more favorable ad experience.
“No one likes to have their viewing experience disrupted, especially with irrelevant ads,” said Ken Weiner, GumGum’s Chief Technology Officer. “Our In-Video product puts consumer experience first and was inspired by informative lower third graphics used by broadcast news for decades. We’re thrilled to work with Amagi to make this unit available within their FAST streaming inventory.”
Amagi THUNDERSTORM users now have a first-to-market opportunity to dynamically insert overlay ads to increase monetization across live linear OTT/CTV channels. The In-Video unit fades into the corner of a video stream and blends seamlessly into the content resulting in an ad that is four times more memorable than video ads. The product provides more inventory, doesn’t disrupt playback and can be delivered in contextually-relevant environments to maximize attention, brand recall and purchase intent.
“Amagi is thrilled to partner with GumGum to bring publishers the option to utilize an innovative ad unit within our Amagi THUNDERSTORM platform,” said Srinivasan KA, co-founder and chief revenue officer of Amagi. “Traditional video ads were not created for streaming and overlay ad units gives publishers the opportunity to stand out among competitors with an innovative ad product that isn’t disruptive and drives increased attention.”
“We’re always looking for ways to reach consumers in CTV environments and add value to those viewing experiences,” says Amagi THUNDERSTORM publisher and Chief Technology and Product Officer at Cinedigm, Tony Huidor. “Being early adopters of the In-Video unit allows us to look beyond the status quo and test out new ways of reaching consumers in an extremely crowded environment. We’re looking forward to hearing from our audiences on their viewing experiences with the In-Video product.”
GumGum is further investing in CTV and continues to develop their blueprint for the future of digital advertising, The Mindset Matrix™. By leveraging context and creative, this blueprint gives publishers and advertisers what they need to maximize consumer attention to deliver engaging and effective ad campaigns. The Mindset Matrix blueprint is future-proof because it requires no third-party cookies or personal data, and can be used to inform digital advertising strategies across current and emerging environments like CTV.

GumGum is a contextual-first, global digital advertising platform that captures people’s attention, without the use of personal data. We believe that an advertising ecosystem based on understanding a consumer’s active frame of mind rather than behavior builds a more equitable and safer future for consumers, publishers, and advertisers alike.

One shot does not a marksman make. Neither does it demonstrate accuracy. A single hole, in an animal or a paper target, shows only that you fired the rifle. It takes more to achieve true marksmanship.
During the iron-sight stage of a smallbore match years ago, I settled into prone and accidentally brushed the trigger. Dismayed, I hardly dared peek into the spotting scope. The best I could hope was that the bullet had missed the paper, leaving no evidence a shot had been fired. A hole in any of the 10 record targets, or between them, would affect my score.
Squinting into the glass, I was astounded to see a hole in the center of the target I was to shoot. A pinwheel. That shot had nothing to do with my marksmanship or the accuracy of the rifle or ammunition.
In its purest form, accuracy is a measure of consistency.
Standards of accuracy can change over time, as they vary with conditions and shooting gear. Marksmen obsessed with accuracy have developed games and equipment that re-define the term. The first official benchrest match, held in Johnstown, New York in 1947, drew international interest. Special rifles and loads, and better optics, have since enabled shooters to print tiny groups.
In the UK not long ago, a sharp-eyed shooter drilled a .135-inch five-shot group at 100 yards and a 6.908 group at 1,000 yards under trying conditions. The world’s record 1,000-yard group measures inside 2 inches, well under a quarter minute of angle.
Hunting rifles and ammunition have improved a great deal since I started shooting. When you could buy one at retail for $89.50, we considered the 94 Winchester a 3-minute rifle.
Now, with Hornady LeverEvolution ammo, the best .30-30 lever guns punch 1-minute groups. When it appeared, the M-16 rifle couldn’t match the accuracy of the M-14 or the Garand. Now, after many refinements, a tuned AR-15 shoots about as well as competitive bolt-actions.
Recently, I fired a Les Baer AR with Federal ammunition launching 77-grain Sierra MatchKings. Sub-minute groups came easily, and one three-shot cluster measured less than half an inch at 200 yards.
In my youth, hunters marveled at rifles that shot into a nickel at 100 yards, but they didn’t despair if the groups were bigger. Many marksmen still relied on iron sights, and big game was shot close. These days, interest in tactical rifles, rangefinding devices, high-power scopes and long-range shooting has nudged the accuracy bar ever upward. While smart hunters get as close as possible for shots at game, long-distance hits on paper targets and steel are confidence-builders.
Accuracy at distance makes you more successful in competition and afield. When you can hit far away, the close shots seem easier.
To that end, manufacturers of rifles, barrels, scopes and ammunition have poured many thousands of dollars into new products. Darrell Holland (hwww.hollandguns.com), who runs a shooting school in southern Oregon and builds super-accurate rifles, has designed a unique scope reticle for long shots. A series of ballistics cards from Holland help you quickly assess effects of range, wind and shot angle for your favorite load.
In the same way, the fellows at Greybull Precision (greybullprecision.com) manufacture scope dials for specific loads and fit them to Leupold scopes with cleverly designed reticles. I’ve used Greybull scopes to 780 yards, banging minute-of-angle groups on steel with center holds. A Marlin lever-action printed six first-round hits inside a 10-inch circle from 100 to 600 yards, with center aim. All I did between shots was adjust the Greybull dial for distance. Matching of scope dials to specific bullet arcs has since become a service of most scope-makers.
Ballistics software from Sierra, Nikon and other sources has not only fueled interest in long-range shooting but given riflemen tools to do it. Knowing where to aim or how to adjust the sight at distance is a first step to hitting consistently.
Marksmanship comes next. Holding the rifle still and executing the shot properly is a skill independent of equipment. It is also the pivotal factor in the pursuit of accuracy.

Arsenal have been put on alert with the news that a dream target for head of recruitment Sven Mislintat is vying for a summer switch.
Spanish outlet Cadena Cope state Ousmane Dembele is furious with Barcelona following the signing of Malcom from Bordeaux, as he believes the competition for his position shows the LaLiga champions lack faith in him.
Dembele endured a difficult debut campaign with the Catalan giants after signing from Borussia Dortmund 12 months ago, spending the majority of the campaign absent through injury and struggling for form on his return.
The 22-year-old, fresh from winning the World Cup with France, is not willing to play a secondary role again this season and has a frosty relationship with Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde, who upset the forward after not congratulating him for his success in Russia.
However, Barcelona remain adamant that Dembele is not for sale and consider new signing Malcom to be a different sort of player to the former Dortmund man. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Football pundit Tony Cascarino believes Unai Emery must axe either Mesut Ozil or Henrikh Mkhitaryan from his starting line-up.
Cascarino has hailed Emery’s start as Arsenal manager but reckons the Spaniard must make a tough call by dropping one of his creative players.
Both Mkhitaryan and Ozil haven’t stood out from the crowd in recent performances while Alex Iwobi has impressed the Emirates faithful with his displays this season.
Quoted in the Daily Express, Cascarino said:
“Arsenal feel like a completely different club under Unai Emery and one of the main reasons for that is that the fans believe in the team now.
“The disgruntled atmosphere at the Emirates used to be a problem for Arsenal, now it’s the opposite.
“Spineless’ seems to be one of the words of the week in the Premier League and under Arsene Wenger, the minute Arsenal went behind the fans would think ‘here we go again’.
“Under Emery, they have won more points from losing positions than any other team, so the fans stay with the players.
“But I cannot see how Emery can keep both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil in his team, given that power and tempo seem so important to the way he wants to play.
“Alex Iwobi has flourished under him and he deserves a starting place.”
There certainly seems to be a new lease of life at the Emirates this season under Emery as fans have finally got something new to look forward to. The Spaniard has undeniably sparked new life in the team and results this season are proof of this thus far.
Both Mkhitaryan and Ozil haven’t hit the heights under Emery though, although the latter has been more impressive of the two so far. Indeed, when both start, there seems to be a lack of energy and power that Cascarino states and does hinder how the team play at times.
Both are creative players and play similar styles of football, so one should be dropped to allow more pace and quickness into the side. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As the debate rages on about the value of AI-generated art, [Chris Borge] printed his own version of another technology that’s been the subject of debate about what constitutes real art. Meet the camera lucida.
Developed in the early part of the nineteenth century by [William Hyde Wollaston], the camera lucida is a seemingly simple device. Using a prism or a mirror and piece of glass, it allows a person to see the world overlaid onto their drawing surface. This moves details like proportions and shading directly to the paper instead of requiring an intermediary step in the artist’s memory. Of course, nothing is a substitute for practice and skill. [Professor Pablo Garcia] relates a story in the video about how [Henry Fox Talbot] was unsatisfied with his drawings made using the device, and how this experience was instrumental in his later photographic experiments.
[Borge]’s own contribution to the camera lucida is a portable version that you can print yourself and assemble for about $20. Featuring a snazzy case that holds all the components nice and snug on laser cut felt, he wanted a version that could go in the field and not require a table. The case also acts as a stand for the camera to sit at an appropriate height so he can sketch landscapes in his lap while out and about. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
At some point this year, the kitchen will be done (Oh dear God I hope). Once we have reached that point, it will be time to restore some of the dignity which was either stripped away or covered under countless layers of paint over the past 100 years. We also have two unfinished rooms I am anxious to get started on. But the bedroom and bathroom plans will have to wait until my next post.
Yesterday marked two years since we closed on our fixer-upper apartment on the upper portion of the Upper West Side of Manhattan (that was a lot of uppers, yes?). Taking a look back, we are both incredibly grateful for having done it when we did. Crazy thing about New York real estate is that our place would cost so much more now. Had we waited to buy as we originally planned, we wouldn’t have gotten our amazing apartment.
It’s with a heavy heart that I write this post, made even more so because my last post was also about loss. Today we had to say goodbye to our adorable silver haired ball of fur named Fritz. He came into our lives as Alvin back in November of 2014, just two months after we had moved into our apartment. By the time he came home with us, we changed his name from Alvin to Fritz (officially) and then we just called him “Little Boy” (or “Lil’ Boy”) at home. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

06 Apr Health Care Transformation Task Force Releases Analysis of National Health Expenditure Trends
WASHINGTON (April 6, 2021) – The Health Care Transformation Task Force (HCTTF or Task Force), a group of leading health care payers, providers, purchasers and patient advocacy organizations, announces the release of a paper examining long-term trends in health care spending from 2000 to 2020. This evaluation of national health expenditures found a systemic slow-down in both projected and actual health spending over the past decade. While difficult to quantify with precision, the delivery system’s transformation to value-based payments over fee-for-service payments is a contributing factor to the favorable spending trend.
“This new analysis highlights how the health care system has steadily bent the cost curve over the last decade,” said Blair Childs, HCTTF Chair. “Medicare payment reforms, including value-based payment models, have been big contributors to this outcome.”
The paper, Getting Warmer: Health Expenditure Trends and Health System Reform, shows the overall direction of change to flatten the cost curve is clear and significant. Enacted on the heels of the Great Recession, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) spurred payment reform efforts and impacted several parts of the health care system simultaneously and was followed by another major piece of health care legislation, The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act, both of which contributed to lower spending. Overlapping model interventions, changes in existing payment policies, broad macroeconomic forces, improvements in the standards of care, and a host of other factors are cited as key factors that impacted overall expenditures.
“Our paper shows a health care system in a positive, sustained transition,” said Jeff Micklos, HCTTF Executive Director. “Value-based care holds the promise of being an even bigger factor to slowing national health care expenditures over the next decade or two while improving quality as more organizations make the transition.”
The health care system’s move to value-based payment is positively impacted national healthcare spending. At their core, value-based payment arrangements realign incentives to create greater efficiencies and care coordination, which helps to eliminate excessive and repetitive low value care. Several of the Medicare value-based payment initiatives have resulted in gross savings and improve practice patterns. The focus on care redesign has also established new clinical pathways for more effective and cost-efficient care, becoming the standard for providers treating patients inside and outside these models.

ABOUT HEALTH CARE TRANSFORMATION TASK FORCE
Health Care Transformation Task Force is a unique collaboration of patients, payers, providers and purchasers working to lead a sweeping transformation of the health care system.
