Cardiac myofibroblasts: cells out of balance. A new thematic series
Dixon, Ian M.C.
We are pleased to introduce a new thematic series dealing with cardiac fibrosis and its association with cardiovascular diseases. A wide variety of cardiovascular diseases are associated with cardiac fibrosis, which is now widely recognized to be not a secondary, but rather a primary contributor to cardiac dysfunction. The purpose of the current series of papers and reviews is to provide the reader with an up-to-date synopsis of the very latest research results and hypotheses that impact on cardiac fibrosis and disease.

Waviness measuring system
This system was developed to measure the waviness and geometry of all types of sheet metal (e.g. electrical sheet metal for transistor construction).
A 3D sensor provides data of highest quality so that waviness and geometry can be measured quickly and robustly.
The system can be upgraded with a flexible camera and illumination for surface defect inspection, so that scratches, dents, machining and texture
defects can be quickly and robustly detected.
By using adaptive image processing algorithms, characteristics are determined from the image captures and then automatically weighted and classified.
By applying learning procedures, the algorithms can be adapted to changes and new errors in order to ensure the best possible recognition rate.
The LASKA framework developed by Math&Tech optimizes and trains algorithms based on data made available to the system.
- Largest electrical sheet size 1400 mm x 1100 mm
- Full width coverage: from 8mm to 1100mm
- Vertical resolution: 50μm
- Lateral resolution for waviness measurement along the electric steel sheet (direction of movement): <0.5mm
- Lateral resolution for waviness measurement orthogonal to the direction of motion (along the coil width): 300μm
- Measuring cycle: < 30 seconds
- Measurements can be exported to a CSV file for further processing or directly to a database using various protocols (e.g. TCP/IP, EtherCAT, ProfiNET etc.).
- Full access to measurement data while production is running, higher-level communication with control systems
- Measurement according to DIN EN 10251:1997
- The system can be adapted to customer-specific requirements

Record and Replay Signals for the Sporting Market
In recent years there has been an explosion in the sporting world in the use of GPS. You will scarcely see a runner or cyclist on the road without either a smartphone strapped to their arm, or a dedicated GPS device clamped to their handlebars, tracking their every move. The amount of information that the modern sportsperson – from casual amateurs to full time professionals – is logging, analysing, and sharing is phenomenal. There are now dozens of ways of uploading data for the whole world to share and study.
As more manufacturers come to this market with the hope of capturing a share of it they are faced with the challenge of effectively developing, and then testing their devices. For one thing, new products will have to have capability for local constellations such as BDS and QZSS rather than GPS alone. New market entrants won’t have the same budget as the established big players, and constantly travelling to China or Japan in order to try out a new gadget is going to escalate costs to an unsustainable degree.
Then there’s the issue of getting out into the kind of environment in which you imagine your new sporting GPS device will be put to use. In many cases this is going to be remote areas, forests, hills and mountains: stepping outside into the office car park is not a realistic test for satellite acquisition and retention. Driving home with it isn’t either.
So you need a GPS simulator or replay device, to allow for bench testing. But these are expensive. They might not actually be all that useful, either, if all they play into the GPS engine is a perfectly clean signal that has been generated, or recorded from an ideal environment. You need to know how your new product will operate through a forest, or down an urban canyon.
Soon to launch at the ION exhibition in Nashville, LabSat3 provides a solution to these problems. The third generation to be launched in the LabSat range, the new product from UK based Racelogic is a very cost effective GPS record and replay system available for anyone developing GPS devices, and arguably the most convenient to use. It is a battery-powered, standalone unit that can be taken anywhere and used to record satellite signals for reply back at base. It measures 167mm x 128mm x 43mm and weighs 900g, making it a truly portable record and replay system. And it has the ability to record and replay two constellations in parallel.
Racelogic have designed the new LabSat with great care. Chris Smith, Design Director, who has worked closely on the project, says: “We have deliberately built the unit to have a high degree of sensitivity when operating in difficult circumstances. The user can capture satellite signals in heavily tree-lined areas even using a passive antenna, with the LabSat in their backpack, and still get a recording that is going to be perfectly useable back in the office. It gives the developer huge flexibility for real-world testing without having to spend a fortune. And a one-button press to make these recordings means that anyone can do it, not just a specialist engineer.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The New 24-hour In-Suite Dining Experience will debut on Seabourn Venture June 2023
London, 14th June 2023 – Seabourn, the leader in ultra-luxury voyages and expedition travel, is elevating its 24-hour in-suite dining menus with an enhanced and extensive array of elegantly presented gourmet dishes, curated by the line’s team of highly skilled chefs. The new menus will debut on Seabourn Venture’s 18th June 2023 voyage, and will extend to the line’s fleet of intimate, yacht-like ships by October 2023. The new dining experience has been meticulously designed to bring Seabourn’s signature luxury and sophistication to its in-suite menu, ensuring that each meal becomes a truly memorable occasion.
Offering a diverse array of dishes, guests can enjoy these culinary delights either on their own or share the experience with loved ones and fellow travellers. Whether dining inside their suites or on their private veranda, guests can indulge in exceptional cuisine while enjoying breathtaking views from around the world.
The new in-suite dining menus were developed in partnership with Master Chef and Culinary Consultant Chef Anton Egger, and Senior Corporate Chef Franck Salein. Together with the line’s highly skilled culinary team, they curate Seabourn’s world-class dining that rivals the finest restaurants anywhere.
“At Seabourn, we are unwavering in our commitment to providing ultra-luxury experiences that delight all the senses. Our culinary offerings have long been celebrated for their superb quality, and we take great pride in offering world-class gourmet dining on our ships,” said Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn. “The new in-suite dining menus will further elevate our onboard culinary experience, allowing our guests to savour the exceptional taste and sophistication of our cuisine right in the comfort of their own suites.”
Leahy added that Seabourn strives to provide guests with the best and most innovative culinary experiences. “Culinary is an integral part of travel experiences, and our guests are looking for the highest levels of sophistication and authenticity. We work with the best professionals in the world, such as Chef Tony and Chef Franck, to deliver unforgettable culinary moments. Not only do they bring Michelin level skills, but they also have a passion for travel that comes through in our dishes and menus. I am very excited to support them as they continue to unleash their creativity through this new menu and other exciting culinary projects.”
By adding a selection of new dishes, Seabourn has expanded the variety of the in-suite menu that caters to every taste and preference. The new menu includes lighter and fresher vegetarian and vegan dishes, such as Rustic Garden Vegetable Minestrone a la Genovese, Franck’s Riviera Style Vegetable Tartine, and “Fregola con Melanzane” Sardinian Tomato Fregola Pasta & Oven Roasted Purple Eggplant Confit. There will also be classic and traditional dishes with a twist, including Crispy Skin Fresh Alaskan Salmon Fillet, Thyme Roasted Jidori Chicken Breast, and Oven Roasted Free Range Chicken Sausage Casserole. In addition, there will be delicious dessert options to satisfy the sweet tooth, such as Tony’s Childhood Banana Split and Black Forest Sundae.
In addition to the new in-suite dining menu, Seabourn will continue to provide its signature in-suite breakfast options. During dinner hours, guests may also order from The Restaurant for course-by-course service in their suite or on their private veranda.
Seabourn’s enhanced in-suite dining menus were inspired by Chef Egger and Chef Salein’s world travel experiences and upbringing. Chef Egger has opened restaurants in Singapore and Bangkok and appeared worldwide in culinary events alongside Michelin-starred chefs. Chef Salein’s extensive background includes roles as executive chef at several two and three Michelin-star restaurants. The talented culinary team are experts in offering dishes that are designed to satisfy a range of appetites, and all dishes are carefully prepared and plated with an artistic eye.

The Importance of Pre and Post-Game Routines in Pickleball
Pickleball, the fast-paced paddle sport that has swept the nation, requires agility, precision, and endurance. To maximize your performance and minimize the risk of injury, it's crucial to incorporate proper warm-up and cool-down routines into your pickleball regimen. These exercises not only prepare your body for the dynamic movements of pickleball but also aid in recovery post-match.
Warming Up for the Win
Leg Swings: Stand beside a pickleball net for support and gently swing each leg forward and back, then side to side. This exercise warms up your hip flexors and hamstrings.
Arm Circles: Start with small circles, gradually increasing the size. This helps loosen the shoulders, essential for those powerful pickleball serves and smashes.
Mini Dink Practice: Engage in light, short-range shots at the net to warm up your wrists and improve hand-eye coordination.
Lateral Shuffles: Mimic the side-to-side movement you'll use on the court, enhancing your agility and warming up your leg muscles.
Strengthening and Mobility
Squats: Do a series of squats to strengthen your quads and glutes, crucial for that explosive movement needed in pickleball.
Lunges: Perform forward and side lunges to improve leg strength and balance.
Rotator Cuff Exercises:
Internal and External Rotations: Use a light resistance band. These rotations are vital for strengthening the muscles around the shoulder, reducing the risk of rotator cuff injuries.
Cool-Down – Vital for Recovery After a Pickleball Match
Hamstring Stretch: Sit on the ground and reach for your toes. Hold for 30 seconds.
Quadriceps Stretch: While standing, pull your foot towards your buttocks, keeping your knees together.
Pickleball Specific Cool-Down:
Gentle Rallying: Engage in slow, controlled rallies from the baseline to gradually lower your heart rate.
Walking: A brisk walk around the pickleball court helps to normalize your body functions post-match.
Incorporating Flexibility and Balance
Yoga Poses for Pickleball Players:
Tree Pose: Improves balance and focus, essential for mastering the pickleball court.
Downward Dog: A great pose for stretching the back, hamstrings, and calves.
Consistency is Key
Develop a consistent warm-up and cool-down routine tailored to your pickleball play style. Keep track of your routines and adjust as needed based on how your body feels after playing pickleball.
Play Smart, Stay Safe
Warming up and cooling down are as important as the game itself in pickleball. By taking the time to prepare your body for the demands of the sport and to recover afterward, you're not only improving your game but also investing in your long-term health and ability to enjoy pickleball for years to come.

- Local pickleball clubs and coaches who often offer personalized training sessions.
Remember, your body is your most important pickleball equipment. Take good care of it! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Each organization’s primary focus is innovation. Its importance in the development and coordination of the market cannot be overstated. Product development, management strategies, and work methods are areas where innovation is applied. Changing or improving a process or product is common in all of the definitions used for innovation. Innovation differs from creation in that it begins with the introduction of an idea to a plan and ends with the construction of a new function.
Manufacturing a new product may momentarily attract customers. A process that can flow like a time cycle is more important than innovation and invention. By reaching maturity period other competitors may gain its production technology and you may benefit from it. One of the most essential and difficult concerns that organizations confront today is innovation. Organizational success hinges on innovation.
Gybenz Idea Of Innovation
According to Gybenz, innovation is the application of ideas for businesses. Whether they are employed for products, processes, services, marketing systems, or management. Some researchers, such as Aterbak, Dreft, and Atol, saw innovation as a result of accepting ideas and concepts. they define innovation as units accepted by businesses. Others, such as ′′ Sabramanyan ′′, define innovation from a behavioral standpoint.
They define organizational innovation as a long-term organizational trait. Implying that an inventive company will continue to innovate over time. Firms cannot achieve a high degree of innovation in a short period using this strategy. But innovations do mean that they are accepted over time and that they are sustainable.
Problems In Innovation Management.
One of the most serious issues in innovation management is the lack of a common definition. Academics, policymakers, and authorities have different definitions. The term “innovation” refers to the process of generating new things. In the past, innovation played a smaller role in the economy than creation, but it now plays a larger part.
Three fundamental parts of this approach are investment innovation, credit, and profit maximization. There are contrasts between the terms innovative and innovator, as well as creation and creator. There will be innovation even if you don’t create. Creativity isn’t always a source of innovation; it can also produce the fruits of the economy.
Utilization Of Innovation In Business
In today’s corporate atmosphere, modern organizations thrive and succeed for a variety of reasons. Some companies are renowned for their products like a wood perfume box. While others are known for their services. Yet others are known for less clearly defined characteristics like dining chairs companies. However, if you look at the firms that genuinely stand out today you will see a pattern. You’ll see that they all have one thing in common: they all value innovation.
These inventive leaders include both newcomers like Uber and Amazon. They transformed key processes in their industries to upset the existing quo and stalwarts like Microsoft and Apple. This is despite their longevity, attribute their success to ongoing reinvention and innovation. A company cannot expect to sustain a competitive advantage if innovation is not part of its overall business strategy. Companies such as Vorlane are at the forefront of innovation, check out their latest advancements at www.vorlane.com.
Importance Of Innovation
1. Innovation Helps Companies Grow
There are a few options available to you if you want to expand your business in order to become more successful and profitable. You may opt to slog along your current path. Develop incrementally as you polish your existing products and business models. Although it will be a slow process. Instead, you might opt to expand your company by purchasing or merging with others. This is a faster but often more expensive route to take. Alternatively, you may evolve by reinventing your product or business model or both. This is a process that can lead to rapid expansion and allow you to scale your company swiftly.
2. Innovation Keeps Organizations Relevant
The world around us is always changing. Your business will eventually need to adapt to meet these new realities to be relevant and profitable.
Technology has shown to be a driving force behind the need for change time and time again. Examine the following information to determine the magnitude of the recent impact:
- In the previous several years, 90 percent of the world’s data has been created.
- Every minute, over 570 new websites are launched.
- By 2020, there will be 8 billion gadgets connected to the Internet.
One of the most complicated concerns that organizations confront today is innovation. Organizational success hinges on innovation. Every company should have an innovation process from conception to implementation. When a product reaches the growth stage, the company must make changes to the product. This is to offer it to the market because other companies have mastered the technology. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Although it’s incredibly important, the fact is foundations are grey, boring and hidden. No one shows off their foundation but it’s always painfully evident if it hasn’t been poured properly.
We see this pattern over and over with struggling artists that spend year after year figuratively re-nailing boards into the dirt wondering “why am I having such a hard time building my career?”

Remember those handy Administrative Alerts that popped up on Windows NT, signaling admins about issues or warnings? Generated by the Windows NT Alerter Service, this feature served as a notification system to keep the admins informed. Fast forward to today’s modern Windows Server 2019, and you might wonder, “Do we have something similar?” Let’s explore.
In this article:
- What Was the Administrative Alert?
- Windows Server 2019: What’s The Deal?
- Best Practices for Windows Server 2019 Alerts
- The Final Word
1. What Was the Administrative Alert?
Administrative Alert was a dialog box that was displayed on Microsoft Windows NT to notify selected users and computers of problems or warnings. The Windows NT Alerter service generates alerts.
Administrative alerts could be displayed when problems with security, access, sessions, directory replication, and printing occur, or when a server was shut down by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) device.
- System Failures: Alerted about hardware or software malfunctions.
- Security Warnings: Provided immediate alerts regarding unauthorized access attempts or security vulnerabilities.
- Resource Monitoring: Notified when resources like disk space or memory reached critical levels.
You could configure which specific users or computers will receive administrative alerts by using Server Manager. If you configured alerts to be sent to a specific computer but they are not being received, check your alert configuration in Server Manager. You might have misspelled the name of that particular computer – Server Manager does not validate computer names.
2. Windows Server 2019: What’s The Deal?
Windows Server 2019 does not include the “Alerter Service” as it was seen in Windows NT. Instead, it offers more sophisticated and customizable features that serve the same purpose but with better flexibility.
- Event Viewer: A centralized hub for viewing and managing system and application events, security audits, and more.
- Task Scheduler: Allows you to set triggers for various types of alerts and even execute actions like sending emails or starting programs.
- Performance Monitor: Tracks performance data and can be configured to set alerts based on various performance counters.
- Server Manager: Finally, the Server Manager provides an overall health report of the server, including roles and features.
3. Best Practices for Windows Server 2019 Alerts
- Customized Monitoring: Utilize third-party monitoring solutions that can be integrated for specialized alerting functions.
- Notification Channels: Use multiple channels like email, SMS, or logging platforms for receiving alerts.
- Auditing and Logging: Keep detailed records for post-analysis and for meeting compliance requirements.
- Alert Prioritization: Set priority levels for different types of alerts, so critical issues don’t get lost in the noise.
4. The Final Word
In sum, while Windows Server 2019 doesn’t offer the Alerter Service in the same straightforward way that Windows NT did, its modern suite of monitoring and alerting tools provides a far more comprehensive and flexible approach. Knowing how to configure and use these tools is key to maintaining a robust, secure, and efficient Windows Server environment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

From the beginning of your process, you and your transaction advisor (i.e., investment banker) should be preparing a list of potential Buyers. This is your target list and the names on it are your targets. This is a critically important step in the process. Without the appropriate audience, you likely won’t be selling your company, or will be selling it for far less than you’d like.
Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet method of identifying your potential Buyers. It involves a lot of research and a lot of hard work. Fortunately, good sell side advisors are experts at this. We in Newport’s transaction advisory group are experts in identifying the appropriate potential buyers.
Identify Strategic Targets. These are targets that may have an interest in acquiring your company for strategic purposes. Strategically, this could mean:
- They are already in your business and want to expand their footprint geographically;
- They are already in your business but believe they could learn valuable things from your company that they could apply across their business;
- They are already in your business and want to buy you to eliminate a competitor and facilitate the growth of their business;
- They are in a highly related business and want to enter into your business; or
- They are in an unrelated business but have an interest in diversifying by buying your business.
For smaller companies, “strategics” are the most likely type of buyer. “Financials” generally have institutional investors behind them, have to deploy a lot of investment money to generate meaningful returns, and therefore aren’t interested in small companies.
To what individual will you or your transaction advisory be directing your outreach? If the target Buyer has a “corporate development officer,” that’s your target. That’s code for acquisitions. Most large companies have that type of an officer. In the absence of that officer, we target the CEO. We don’t approach the head of marketing, sales, business development, or human resources. We have never had much success approaching the chief financial officer either. And we certainly don’t approach any sub-executive employee.
And how do you get the contact information for these targeted individuals at these target companies? Again, this is what investment bankers like Newport’s transaction advisory group specialize in. We provide access to buyers.
Identify Financial Targets. For smaller companies, as described, this could be a very limited universe. But, given the phenomenal amount of capital available in this sector, it merits some investigation. Your investment banker will know the universe of financial buys and their acquisition criteria. Financial investors tend to be private equity firms, family offices (i.e., investment management offices handling the financial needs of one or more wealthy families), hedge funds, and other investors that purchase companies primarily as a means of earning a financial return.

Waiving or absorbing deductibles is a practice that some roofing companies use to keep costs down for homeowners to help them save money for roofing projects. Essentially, waiving/absorbing a deductible involves a roofing company inflating the cost of a roof repair job so that the insurance company ends up slightly overpaying for the project. Then, the roofing company may not charge the homeowner the deductible.
Essentially, deductible absorption allows roofing companies to transfer deductible costs from homeowners to insurers in order to let homeowners save money. There are other ways that this can be done too. For example, a roofing company may tell an insurance company that the job costs $10,000 to complete. However, the company may then use cheaper materials to make the job only cost $9,000 to complete. They may then pass these savings onto the homeowner by not charging him or her the deductible, or “absorbing it.”
The only way a roofing company can waive a deductible is by sending the insurance company a fraudulent invoice. This is unequivocally insurance fraud on the part of the roofing company and on the part of the homeowner. We would never ask our customers to take part in that.
In an ethical sense, yes, absorbing deductibles is wrong. This is because it involves deceiving the insurance company and making it pay more money that it would otherwise have to. Absorbing deductibles is also wrong in a legal sense. This is because it is a type of insurance fraud, and is identical to stealing from the insurance company.
Homeowners who attempt to have their deductibles waived can not only have their insurance policies voided for breach of contract, but they can also face legal action for insurance fraud.
There are several other major problems with the practice of absorbing insurance deductibles for roofing projects. The first is that because roofing companies often use cheaper materials to absorb deductibles, the end result is often subpar. This means that the roof will be more likely to experience another problem, which could actually result in the homeowner having to spend significantly more money.
Further, roofing companies also frequently try to use cheaper labor or rush jobs in order to absorb the deductible. Hiring less experienced workers, or trying to rush work in order to reduce billable hours can also result in a subpar end result. This too can make the homeowner actually have to spend more money since it increases the chances of the roof experiencing another major problem.
If you have recently experienced damage to your roof and if you need to have a roof repair job done, then you should definitely not attempt to have your deductible waived. This is because it is not only unlawful, but it could void your insurance coverage and result in negative legal consequences. Further, if you do attempt to waive your deductible, you can end up with a poorly completed job. The roof of your home is one of the last things that you want to skimp on. So, you should always make sure that repairs are done correctly and not done with low-quality materials just to waive your deductible. Here at NewRuf, we never compromise our ethics or our relationships with our clients and insurance companies by offering to absorb deductibles. Instead, we make sure that everything is done ethically and in full compliance with the law. We also do not rush jobs or use poor quality materials. For your upcoming roofing project, please contact us at any time to get started.
If your roofer suggests waving your deductible, the best practice is to run the other way. It’s not worth it. Club Fed? No Way! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Enhance Your Intimate Experience With a DP Sex Toy
Exploring new dimensions of intimacy has never been easier with the advent of advanced dp sex toys. Designed for couples seeking an enhanced experience, these innovative products bring a unique twist to your intimate encounters. Whether you're looking to spice up your relationship or simply enjoy a more thrilling experience, a dp sex toy can provide the stimulation and pleasure you desire.
The term 'dp' stands for double penetration, which means these toys are crafted specifically to simulate this type of intimate experience. With dual penetrating features, a dp sex toy allows for an intense exploration of sensation and pleasure.
One significant advantage of using a dp sex toy is the ability to explore different sensations without the need for partners or additional individuals. This can be particularly useful for those who are shy about experimenting with new types of play but want to experience the excitement of it all in the safety and privacy of their own space.
When choosing the right dp sex toy, consider its material, size, and features. Silicone-based toys are highly desirable due to their ease of cleaning and smooth finish. Look for features that allow you flexibility with speed and intensity settings to suit your personal preferences.
Safety should always be a priority when it comes to using such products. Ensure the materials used are body-safe and non-toxic. Regular cleaning is essential; check the manufacturer's guidelines on how best to clean and store your dp sex toy to prolong its use and safety.
Couples can benefit greatly from a dp sex toy by enhancing their shared experiences, deepening emotional connections through exploration, and bringing new excitement into their lives. Experimenting with different positions and scenarios can unlock new levels of pleasure for both partners involved. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Singer Billie Eilish threw a tantrum at a concert over Trump's election victory
Grammy Award-winning singer Billie Eilish reacted emotionally to Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election. Videos from the concert were posted by her fans on the social network Instagram (a social network banned in Russia; owned by Meta, a recognized extremist organization and banned in the Russian Federation).
First, on her social network page, Billie commented on the voting results with the phrase "war against women" written on a black background.
Later, during a concert in Nashville, Eilish almost disrupted her own performance by throwing a tantrum right on stage, addressing the audience with an emotional speech. The artist also dedicated the song Your Power to all women, during which she behaved emotionally.
Earlier, rapper Lil Pump reacted to Trump's election as head of state with an enthusiastic post. The musician called the politician a "warrior". | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

While the country constantly tries to battle different measures of VIP treatments and protocols given to the influential people of the country, something or the other happens after short intervals that are bound to cause outrage.
Recently, a social media post went viral against a local airline that served VIP treatment to Pakistan Peoples Party’s Senator Sherry Rehman. According to the person involved, Senator Sherry Rehman was forcefully given a seat that was already booked for someone else.
«Checked into Islamabad airport with family today on 24/08/17, we were flying Serene Air, ER503 at 4 pm, got boarding passes for pre-assigned seats 2C,2D,2E,2F and headed to the departure lounge. 30 mins later my elder son Muhammad’s name was announced and when I approached was informed that we have to change his seat with 4F, I refused and the guy left.
Then came the supervisor and she told me there has been a system and we have been wrongly assigned seat 2C. I asked her how come error is in the same series as other seats, I said that I am sure they want to assign my son’s seat to a VIP, she had no answer so I refused to change and the lady left again to come back with another lady who checked us in and again same story started, when I asked for proof there was none and finally the lady told me about how difficult it is for a woman to come to work and that she has a family to support requested me to help her.
I asked her to tell me real story and then she told us that Muhammad’s seat has been assigned to #Senator #SherryRehman. She requested for help otherwise she would be in trouble so I handed over Muhammad’s boarding pass. This is not something unusual in Pakistan and every single VIP has a sense of entitlement as they think they are a superior class! What is even more shameful that our own people like the staff of #SereneAir not only support this but are willing to lie for these so called VIPs.»
It seems that nobody or no place is safe from the plague of VIP treatment that we have now become accustomed to. People of Pakistan have been through so much of the same, that most of us never protest against the wrongs our leaders implement on us forcefully.
The courageous woman who spoke against Senator Sherry Rehman’s VIP treatment by the airline needs to be appreciated for most of us think about the consequences of the act before we think about standing up for ourselves. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Former Scotland and Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has been fined £1,000 after he admitted kicking a flare into a crowd at a football match.
The 33-year-old was ordered to pay the fine within seven days when he appeared at Dundee Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
He pleaded guilty to a charge of culpable and reckless conduct at an earlier appearance, the court heard.
Griffiths had flown in from Australia, where he currently plays for Mandurah City, to attend the sentencing.
The court heard Griffiths had been playing for Dundee on loan from Celtic in a game at Dens Park against St Johnstone on September 22, 2021.
Around 4,500 people were in attendance at the match, with around 1,300 St Johnstone fans in the away stand.
Fiscal depute Lora Apostolova said a goal was scored at about 9.10pm and a smoke bomb was hurled on to the field, emitting blue smoke.
“The accused ran towards the area the smoke bomb landed and then kicked the smoke bomb towards where St Johnstone fans were standing,” she said.
She said Griffiths ran 30-40 yards to kick the smoke bomb back into the stand and a fan was struck by it, damaging his jeans. No-one was injured.
Defending Griffiths, lawyer Larry Flynn said the matter required to be discharged in order for the footballer to meet a condition for his Australian visa.
He said Griffiths decided to “take matters in his own hands” and kick the device out of the way to let play continue.
Mr Flynn said there was no malice behind Griffiths’s actions, and he read a statement the player made at the time apologising to fans for his conduct.
In sentencing, Sheriff Way said a “financial penalty” was necessary.
He said Griffiths had already faced “significant” financial penalties after he was fined £15,000 by Celtic, who paid his wages at the time, and a £1,000 fine from Dundee.
He said: “The financial penalty I would have imposed is £1,500. However he pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.
“I am prepared to accept this was reckless.
“He is trying to make a life for himself in Australia.”
The sheriff imposed a reduced fine of £1,000 to be paid within the next seven days.
Griffiths started his football career at Livingston in 2006, before moving to Dundee in 2009 and then Hibernian in 2013.
He was called up for Scotland in 2012 and moved to Celtic in 2014, where he played until 2020.
He was loaned in Dundee in 2021, before playing for Falkirk in 2022.

Celtic have booked a place at Hampden as they continued their defence of the League Cup trophy with a 4-0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park.
The Hoops will play in their 17th semi-final in the last decade as they set up a date with the national stadium early next year as they look to keep up their recent domination of the domestic cup competitions.
Liel Abada scored a double and assisted two others as they put on the style in North Lanarkshire on Wednesday night.
Kyogo Furuhashi and Reo Hatate scored the others as the cup holders ran out easy winners in the end.
Both teams came into the game knowing a place in the last four was on the line with the defending champions looking to make it seven League Cup trophies from the last 6.
The only one they never won in that time was in the 2020/21 season when the tournament was played behind closed doors and St Johnstone triumphed on their way to a cup double.
Motherwell on the other hand haven’t been to Hampden since the 2017/18 season when they lost the final to Celtic and Scottish Cup semi-final to Aberdeen, but also beat Rangers 2-0 in the League Cup last four.
Celtic had most of the ball in the early stages, with Motherwell having goalkeeper Liam Kelly and the woodwork to thank for keeping the game level, but the home side looked more than capable of creating their own chances.
The first real chance of the game fell to Kyogo, but his effort smashed off the underside of the crossbar and bounced on the goal line and back out to Abada who was unable to get enough power on his header to get his past Kelly.
But Steven Hammell’s side had more than enough sights at Benjamin Seigrist’s goal to feel they had a chance of sneaking something up the other end.
They must have felt they should have taken the lead when the ball fell to Stuart McKinstry in the box following a lapse in concentration from Moritz Jenz, but the Motherwell winger blasted his shot over the bar.
Goss then forced a save from Siegrist but just as the home side were having their best spell of possession of the game Celtic got themselves in front when Abada scored following great work by Greg Taylor on the left-hand side.
The Scotland international burst up the park from left-back and found himself in the box before putting it on a plate for the Israeli to tap in the opener.
Motherwell had the first chance of the first half but Seigrist, who was brought in for his first start of the season, managed to make a finger tipped save from Penney’s shot to force the corner.
The second half was just ten minutes old when Abada got his second after a sustained period of pressure from Celtic and two good saves from Kelly from the young winger and then Haksabanovic before the lead was doubled.
And less than five minutes later Celtic’s place in the draw for the last four was all-but secured when Reo Hatate made it 3-0 with a lovely bit of footwork to take it round Kelly before slotting it home.
And it was Hatate’s countryman Kyogo who slotted home the fourth when he pounced on to the rebound when Abada’s shot came off the post.
Aberdeen host Partick Thistle and Rangers play Dundee at Ibrox in Wednesday’s other quarterfinals before the draw for the last four take place.
The two semi-finals will be played at Hampden on the weekend of January 14 and 15th.

The Vanderbilt Vaccine Research Program (VVRP) has received a contract from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to continue its work as one of the nation’s Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Units (VTEU). Vanderbilt is one of nine institutions that have the potential to receive funding up to $135 million per year from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the NIH, over a seven-year period.
“This contract renewal is evidence of the importance of this work to public health on an international and national scale,” said Kathryn Edwards, M.D., Sarah H. Sell and Cornelius Vanderbilt Professor of Pediatrics, and director of the VVRP.
“Our VVRP is well established as a leader in vaccine research and development and our relationship with the NIH has afforded us an unprecedented opportunity to work on the cutting edge of vaccine development over the years. We have been pleased to have attracted the best and brightest researchers and clinicians to Vanderbilt to continue this work well into the future.”
Edwards accepted the role of principal investigator for the Vanderbilt VTEU in 2002. The unit may work on phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 clinical trials to evaluate vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics for safety and effectiveness in a domestic or international setting. VTEUs are on the forefront of research in fighting and preventing infectious diseases. Edwards credits Vanderbilt’s VTEU with helping to grow the institution’s profile over the years as a leader in vaccine development, attracting the best and the brightest talent in vaccine research and science.
“This renewal is the culmination of over a year’s worth of effort from the VVRP and the Department of Pediatrics. Additionally, it is a testimony to the rich research infrastructure of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine to support work that is critical to the nation in order to prepare for potential pandemics,” said Buddy Creech, M.D., MPH, assistant professor of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, associate director of the VVRP and co-principal investigator of the Vanderbilt VTEU.
As a VTEU for the NIH, the VVRP has conducted trials to inform public policy twice in the last decade to address potential pandemic concerns: once to test and evaluate the H1N1 influenza vaccine at the start of the 2009 pandemic, and again just this month to evaluate a vaccine against a potential future pandemic threat from the H7N9 avian influenza.
Other research projects involve the testing of enhancements to the formulation of influenza vaccines to improve their protective power. The additives that are used to enhance flu vaccine are called “adjuvants.”
“When these adjuvants are added to vaccines, they improve the responses and reduce the amount of vaccine needed,” Edwards said. “This has proven to be particularly important in avian influenza vaccines which can lack the ability to adequately stimulate a protective response in our immune systems.”
Edwards says adjuvants are also exciting because of their potential to help avoid vaccine shortages in the future. If an adjuvant makes a vaccine 20 times more potent, it allows manufacturers to stretch vaccine supplies into 20 times more doses.
“That might mean, in the case of pandemic flu, that we can protect our population and others in developing countries that do not have the potential to make vaccines,” Edwards said.
Vanderbilt’s VTEU has worked on numerous critically important childhood vaccines over the years that have saved countless lives. These include, among others, the rotavirus vaccine to protect against the leading cause of diarrheal illness among children in the United States; the transition from a whole cell pertussis vaccine to a new, safer acellular version; and examination of vaccine use in high risk populations, including immunocompromised children, premature infants and pregnant women.
They have also evaluated vaccines and therapeutics intended for the developing world, such as vaccines targeting malaria and new treatment options for tuberculosis.

New Delhi (India), July 3: In recent years, cycling as a sport has been gaining the much-needed popularity worldwide. As it transforms urban landscapes and lifestyles from Amsterdam to New York, its multifaceted benefits for health, community, and the environment are becoming increasingly evident.
While India has been slower to embrace this global trend, a gradual shift is occurring. Amidst this evolving landscape, Spokeherd emerges as a pioneering force, aiming to catalyse a cycling revolution that adapts global best practices to India’s unique context.
By promoting cycling as more than just a mode of transport, Spokeherd is working to cultivate a holistic wellness movement, building stronger communities and environmental awareness across the nation.
Revolutionising Wellness on Two Wheels
Central to the brand’s core agenda, Spokeherd is addressing a critical gap in India’s fitness domain. Despite a global shift towards healthier lifestyles, cycling remains underrepresented in the country. Spokeherd aims to change this narrative by creating an all-encompassing platform that caters to every aspect of cycling culture.
Spokeherd’s visionary heads have affirmed their ambition in transforming India’s approach to health and community. Through its ‘initiative that unites’, the brand has been promoting the merits of cycling and attracting cycling enthusiasts, irrespective of their age and gender, to come together.
A Community United by Passion
Spokeherd takes a step ahead by introducing its unique membership-based model. This approach fosters a sense of belonging among cycling enthusiasts of all levels – from beginners to advanced riders. The platform offers a rich array of services, including the latest cycling news, premium merchandise, vibrant events, a marketplace for cycles, and rental services both online and at physical stores across cities.
“Spokeherd is more than a platform; it’s a movement,” explains one of the spokespersons. “We’re creating spaces where people can come together, share their passion, and inspire each other to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.”
Pedaling Towards a Greener Future and Celebrating Milestones
Beyond personal health, Spokeherd is committed to environmental sustainability. By promoting cycling as a viable mode of transportation, the company is contributing to reduced carbon emissions and cleaner cities.
Spokeherd’s impact is already visible through its growing community and engaging events. Recently, the company has organised a dual celebration — World Bicycle Day and its first anniversary — with the “Zero to One – Ride to Mysore Cafe” event on June 3rd.
Next on June 19, Spokeherd conducted regular community rides, like the SHC DelhiNCR Rides, witnessing a gathering of 100+ participants. Such events further strengthen the bonds within the Spokeherd community.
The cycling community, Spokeherd, continues to grow with a vision for India’s healthy future. The company is not just shaping cycling culture; it’s reimagining how Indians approach health, community, and environmental responsibility.
While specific statistics on cycling’s impact in India are still emerging, global trends suggest that regular cycling can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and improve mental health. As more Indians embrace cycling through communities like Spokeherd, the potential for positive change is immense.

Cover Story: The End of a Thirty Years’ War
How TIME Covered the News: The Vietnam War ended badly for a weary and frustrated U.S. with the communist North’s capture of the South’s capital, Saigon. Hundreds of thousands had died in the two-decades of the conflict, while anti-war dissent came to define a whole generation in the U.S. Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City, after the North’s communist revolutionary leader, and the process of reunification began.
“Thursday, the first morning of “liberation,” was also May Day, and huge parades involving thousands of Communist soldiers and Saigonese citizens were held on flag-festooned streets. In the park in front of the presidential palace, huge numbers of Soviet PT-76 and T-54 tanks, armored cars, artillery pieces and rocket launchers were arrayed. Bus service and garbage collection were quickly restored, and civil servants were reporting for work at government ministries.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) will continue an uninterrupted supply of fuel islandwide, Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera assured.
Taking to ‘X’, Minister Wijesekera said uninterrupted fuel supply will be provided as the CPC maintains a buffer stock of all products.
“The refinery which is undergoing its annual maintenance and service will resume its operations mid-August,” he further said.
The minister provided the update after having reviewed the fuel cargo plan for the next 6 months, stock availability, storage capacity, distribution plan, placement of orders and refinery operations with the CPC management yesterday.
Minister Kanchana Wijesekera also revealed that the stocks and cargo plans of the Lanka Indian Oil Company (LIOC), China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), and US-based RM Parks Inc. were also reviewed. (Newswire) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Press release -
Smoking and drinking are in top 10 causes of death in UK
Smoking is the number one cause of death in the UK – which has also seen an increase in deaths due to alcohol use – according to a new global study published today in The Lancet (Friday 11 September).
Northumbria University’s Dr Ivy Shiue is one of the co-authors of a new paper published by the Global Burden of Disease study which looked at the leading health risk factors most likely to cause death in 188 countries between 1990 and 2013.
The study found that smoking contributed to 106,981 deaths in the UK in 2013, making it the top risk factor for both men and women, closely followed by high blood pressure and obesity.
Although the UK has made progress against the leading global risks of death – with significant decreases in high blood pressure and high cholesterol – there has been a 9.5% increase in the number of deaths due to alcohol use, with 21,765 people dying from this in 2013.
The top ten risks in the UK are, in order, smoking, high blood pressure, high body mass index, high cholesterols, low physical activity, a diet low in fruits, diabetes (known as high fasting plasma glucose), kidney disease (known as low glomerular filtration rate), alcohol use and a diet low in vegetables.
The top ten global risks are smoking, high body-mass index, high blood pressure, diabetes, alcohol use, high cholesterol, kidney disease, low physical activity, a diet low in fruits and drug use.
Dr Shiue, a senior researcher in Northumbria University’s Department of Healthcare, said: “Progress against so many leading risk factors is excellent news and should be celebrated, but these risks still continue to contribute to the disabilities and deaths of thousands of Britons.
“We need to focus on minimising risks clustering from childhood to adulthood to reduce the burden on our health system and ensure that we all live long and healthy lives.”
The study, which is led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington in Seattle, found significant regional variations in the leading health risks.
In much of the Middle East and Latin America, high body mass index is the number one risk associated with health loss. In South and South East Asia, household air pollution is a leading risk. India has high risks of unsafe water and childhood undernutrition and alcohol is the number two risk in Russia. However, smoking is the number one risk in many high-income countries, including the United Kingdom.
IHME Director Dr Christopher Murray added: “There’s great potential to improve health by avoiding certain risks like smoking and poor diet as well as tackling environmental risks like air pollution. The challenge for policymakers will be to use what we know to guide prevention efforts and health policies.”

Congresswoman Nikema Williams on Redrawn Georgia Congressional Maps
(WASHINGTON) – Today, Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05), co-chair of both the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus and the Task Force for Strengthening Democracy issued the following statement:
“One thing is clear: Georgia Republicans cannot be trusted to draw fair maps. Ever. After Judge Steve C. Jones ordered the creation of a majority-Black district in west metro Atlanta, Georgia Republicans doubled down on racial gerrymandering to weaken the power of Black voters and protect Republican incumbents. This recycling of Republican tricks reminds us once again that the redistricting process cannot be rooted in political gamesmanship. That’s why I co-sponsored the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, two bills that will ban racial gerrymandering, while expanding the protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Fair maps are essential for our democracy.”
Congresswoman Nikema Williams proudly serves Georgia’s Fifth Congressional District on the exclusive Financial Services Committee. She is a champion of voting rights and builds on the Fifth District’s legacy as the cradle of the civil rights movement as co-chair of the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus. Congresswoman Williams is committed to closing the racial wealth gap and ensuring the promise of America for all–regardless of your ZIP code or bank account. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A sportsbook is a place where you place bets on sporting events. These bets can be on a game’s outcome, the point spread, proposition bets, or future events. The best places to place your bets are those that have the best odds. There are many advantages to placing bets at a sportsbook.
Bets are placed on the outcome of a sporting event
Sportsbooks are a type of gambling establishment where people can place bets on the outcome of upcoming sporting events. These wagers are called “odds” and come in several forms. They are either an individual bet or a team bet. In most cases, bets are placed on the outcome of the match or game. They don’t necessarily have to be for the full amount of the match, since the numbers are ratios rather than fixed amounts.
Sportsbooks also offer wagers on other types of events. A common example of sports betting is horse racing. The website of a bookmaker can offer odds on horse racing, greyhound racing, and even cockfighting. This type of betting is a form of gambling, and is becoming increasingly popular in the United States.
Bets are placed on a point spread
Point spreads are used in sports betting to determine the betting odds for a game. They use a mathematical formula to determine the likelihood of a team winning by a specific number of points. In most cases, the spread is set a few days before a game begins. The spread may be as little as one point or as large as ten points. Point spreads are calculated using various factors, such as the recent performance of the teams, the weather, and schedule.
Sportsbooks use a point spread to level the playing field between two teams. The point spread gives the sportsbook a better chance of winning when both teams draw equal betting action. Essentially, the bookmaker adds points to the final score of the point favorite and subtracts points from the final score for the underdog. If the underdog wins, the sportsbook wins the game.
Bets are placed on proposition bets
Proposition bets are the most interesting types of bets available on sportsbooks. These bets aren’t affected by typical outcomes and can be lucrative if done correctly. Many of the best online sportsbooks feature a large selection of these types of bets. Some of these bets are simply for fun, while others can be important components of a winning sports betting strategy.
Proposition bets are similar to futures bets, but they are different in a few ways. While futures bets are based on events that will take place later, proposition bets are based on events that occur now. This means that you can place a bet on whether a player will win the Super Bowl or be the MVP of the Super Bowl.
Bets are placed on future events
Futures betting involves betting on the outcome of events that will happen in the future. These wagers can be placed on competitions, tournaments, and player props. Most futures bets are placed on the outcome of a particular game, team, or league. Futures markets are available for just about every major sport. Many events last weeks or even months, which makes them prime candidates for futures betting.
There are numerous benefits to placing bets on future events. The first is that futures odds are higher than the normal sports betting lines. This is because the sportsbooks try to balance their liability on both sides of a game. Because futures odds are posted in advance of the game, the sportsbook can’t alter their odds based on changes in the game’s odds. However, this means that bettors must predict when the futures odds will peak.
Offshore sportsbooks pay taxes
Offshore sportsbooks are a great way to place bets on sports without paying taxes in the United States. These businesses are licensed outside of the country, so they don’t have to worry about processing their winnings through the U.S. banking system. Because of this, they can offer better odds than domestic competitors. Another advantage of offshore sportsbooks is their legality, which is another important reason to choose them.
Many sportsbooks offer a variety of betting options, so it’s important to find a website that accepts the currencies that you use. The best way to make sure that an offshore sportsbook accepts your payment method is to ask how you can deposit funds. Some sportsbooks offer a bank transfer option, which is fast, secure, and convenient. Others offer various deposit methods, including checks. These are deposited to the sportsbook’s bank account, and a bank cashier holds the funds corresponding to the check. You can also use wire transfers or PayPal to make deposits. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Lamborghini Super Trofeo one-make series have been around since the late 2000s and is still running strong until today. With race series running in Asia, North America, Europe and Middle East, they will soon welcome an updated version of the race car that they are racing nowadays in the form of the
Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2.
The Fifth Member of the Family
To date, this is the fifth version of the Super Trofeo that has been fielded by Lamborghini. Starting off with the Gallardo Super Trofeo, it was then updated to the Gallardo Super Trofeo FL2 with better aerodynamics. The Gallardo then gave way to the new Huracan Super Trofeo and like the FL2, the EVO came with a redesigned bodywork offering more downforce.
The EVO2 will be making its public debut on May 28 in Le Castellet, featuring radical aerodynamic refinements and an undoubtedly eye-catching design, thanks to Lamborghini Centro Stile. The first change that caught our eyes is definitely the front end where it looks like the
Huracan STO and Sian had a one-night stand.
Aero Refinements and Optimization
The EVO2 features new high-intensity full LED light clusters and what they call an “omega” lip which integrates with the carbon fiber fins. We particularly like the Sian-inspired air curtain intakes which optimizes airflow, by keeping it adherent to the sides, as well as downforce.
Over to the rear, the new LED light clusters were said to be a tribute to the design of the Countach, and there is no way of missing that massive carbon fiber rear wing from miles away. But not all things are carbon fiber on this car as some parts have been replaced into plastic like the side member paneling and rear appendages. Speaking of the rear, the fenders are now made out of a single element that includes a section of the side spoiler to create a smoother area.
Aside from the aero department, the EVO2 now sports larger 390mm front steel discs, 10mm larger than the EVO. The calipers have also been modified to accommodate pads with new design and a larger surface area to optimize performance and usage. The 5.2-liter V10 tower of power still squeezes out 620-horsepower, sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential X-Trac gearbox.
“The Super Trofeo is the basis of our concept of customer racing, capable of involving and exciting both young talents and gentlemen drivers,” said Giorgio Sanna, Lamborghini's Head of Motorsport.
“The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 is dedicated to both categories of drivers, and we have designed it with the precise aim of offering an even more engaging driving experience, while paying the utmost attention to running costs”. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A truly different family chronicle of the work of seven generations of undertakers, one undertaker more special than the other.

Passage of Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) and its subsequent transformation into Act is a historic decision by Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government at the Centre, stated BJP State President Ravinder Raina, while he was addressing a meeting of the senior leaders of BJP, from Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh at party headquarter, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.
Ravinder Raina was also accompanied by former MP (Rajya Sabha) Shamsher Singh Manhas, Dy. Chief Ministers Dr. Nirmal Singh & Kavinder Gupta, State General Secretary (Org.) Ashok Kaul, former Minister Sat Sharma, former MLC Ashok Khajuria, party State General Secretaries Dr. Narinder Singh, Yudhvir Sethi & Sunil Sharma Mayor (JMC) Chander Mohan Gupta at the stage.
Ravinder Raina, said that with the formation of CAA, long pending humanitarian demand to serve the justice has been met. He said that this bill has given the rights to people to enjoy the basic civil liberties and live their life with dignity. He strongly hailed the passage of bill and its subsequent transformation into Act, terming it as another milestone for Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government at the Centre. He said that Modi government is committed to serve the humanity and as such has taken the cognizance of the sufferers of circumstances. He termed the bills as the savior of those who were victimized at the hands of hostile governments in our neighbourhood.
Raina also attacked the Congress party for its launch of misinformation campaign. He blamed Congress and other political parties opposing the Bill and Act as pursuing Pakistani and anti-National agenda and asked them that if they don’t want to see India as globally strengthened and world leader.
Shamsher Singh Manhas, threw detailed light on the need of the bill and said that we need to understand the need of the act from the eyes of those who were forced to leave their homes as they faced religious persecution in neighbouring Nations. He said that this Bill and Act has only given rights to the persons to live their life with dignity and safety and this bill not at all stands against anybody in anyway.
Ashok Kaul, said that the opposition parties are consistently trying to fan the violence, mislead the Nation on one pretext or another. He attributed this to the frustration of the Congress and other political parties to save their shrinking political space.
Nirmal Singh, stressed that BJP today holds the distinction of only political party which has fulfilled its all poll promises making crucial and historic decisions.
Sat Sharma, prompted all activists to strongly counter the misinformation campaign led by Congress and other political parties by putting facts before the common masses.
Sunil Sethi, enlightened the BJP leaders about the socio-legal aspects of the implementation of CAB and its subsequent implications. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Originally slated to be a seven-inch single to follow up their self-titled debut, Sonic Youth ’s Confusion Is Sex blossomed into the band’s first album: a brain-bludgeoning, completely fried endeavor of dissonance and disarray, a perfect soundtrack for running from a chain-wielding gang near the SIN Club.
This was the sound of 1983 New York City: nothing like London where punks were starting to scrub their faces and sounds to get on Top of the Pops , and nothing like the jangly roots of college radio rock starting to formulate in Athens, Georgia. It sounded like no one else on Earth, for that matter.
The raw, Wharton Tiers 8-track production is dark, the Kim Gordon-scrawled cover figure art of Thurston Moore is dark, Lee Ranaldo’s back cover photo-collage and Catherine Ceresole’s crumpled-xeroxed images that adorned the inside are dark. It’s an album that moves Sonic Youth forward from their first EP almost by devolving backwards into true ugly, lo-fi primitivity. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Top analyst Paul Brabus from The VR Soldier, one of the leading cryptocurrency portals on the market, listed Radio Caca as one of the top 3 metaverse projects traders and investors need to keep an eye on in 2022.
According to the expert, Radio Caca made headlines in recent news when it secured a partnership with French Montana, developing a Metaverse for his upcoming Montega album. In addition, Radio Caca recruited Nicole Buffett, the daughter of Warren Buffett as the art director for the project, signaling the tremendous long-term potential for RACA. Its developments around Web3.0 and the metaverse should help propel the cryptocurrency to new highs once bulls again dominate the cryptocurrency market.
The analyst said:
“Radio Caca has tremendous potential. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the project reach a $1 billion market cap during crypto’s next bull run.”
Cryptocurrency investors have also followed Brabus’ optimism and have helped propel RACA to a rally of more than 15% in the last seven days. The rise placed RACA among the ten highest valuations of projects built on BNBChain in the period, according to data from BNB Master.
Reinforcing the positive sentiment toward RACA is the number of project holders that reached a new ATH, registering more than 450 thousand. The new ATH of RACA holders elevated the cryptocurrency as the largest metaverse in holders on BNBChain, surpassing the second and third place by at least 100 thousand holders.
Additionally, Radio Caca recently announced updates to their play-to-earn game, Metamon. Among the updates, there were changes to the reward mechanisms and competition between designers to customize special flags for the game.
To help RACA develop its metaverse and its Web 3-oriented solutions, Radio Caca announced two new partnerships, one with Galatasaray Üniversitesi Blockchain Kulübü, from Turkey, and the other with Thammasat University Blockchain Club (TUBC) from Thailand.
“Congratulations to all our blockchain fellows and friends. Now, Galatasaray University Blockchain Club is a part of RadioCaca and USM (United States of Mars) metaverse integration. We salute you from Bosphorus”, declared the GSU on social media.
We are extremely happy to welcome @tubcclub to the #USM #Metaverse. We believe in support #Web3 and those that will be #FutureWeb3Leaders and builders. 🔥 Together #LetsGrowTogether and build something amazing. 🚀#RACA #USM #Metaverse @BNBCHAIN @cz_binance @RadioCacaThai https://t.co/xBqGvmcCN7

When it comes to achieving the perfect finish on any surface, blast booths stand out as the unsung heroes of surface preparation. These specialized enclosures are designed to provide a controlled environment for abrasive blasting, ensuring superior results every time. Whether you’re working on metal, wood, or other materials, blast booths offer a range of benefits that make them indispensable in various industries. Let’s delve into why blast booths are the secret weapon in surface preparation.
Superior Containment of Abrasive Materials
One of the primary advantages of blast booths is their ability to contain abrasive materials effectively. Traditional blasting methods often result in a significant amount of dust and debris, which can be harmful to both workers and the environment. Blast booths are equipped with advanced ventilation and filtration systems that capture and contain these particles, ensuring a cleaner and safer workspace. This containment not only protects workers but also prevents contamination of nearby areas, making blast booths an environmentally friendly option.
Customizable Configurations for Various Surfaces
Blast booths are incredibly versatile, offering customizable configurations to suit different surface preparation needs. Whether you’re preparing a large industrial component or a small intricate piece, these booths can be tailored to accommodate various sizes and shapes. This flexibility ensures that you can achieve optimal results regardless of the project’s specifics. The ability to adjust settings such as pressure, nozzle size, and abrasive type allows for precise control, making blast booths a perfect fit for diverse applications.
Efficient Removal of Contaminants and Coatings
Removing contaminants and old coatings from surfaces can be a daunting task, but blast booths make this process efficient and effective. The controlled environment within a blast booth ensures that abrasive materials are directed precisely where needed, removing rust, paint, and other unwanted layers quickly. This efficiency not only saves time but also reduces material waste, making blast booths a cost-effective solution for surface preparation. By utilizing these booths, industries can ensure their components are clean and ready for further processing, such as in powder coating booths.
Consistent and Uniform Surface Profiling
Achieving a consistent and uniform surface profile is crucial for the application of coatings and paints. Blast booths excel in providing this level of precision. The enclosed environment allows for even distribution of abrasive materials, resulting in a uniform surface texture. This consistency is essential for ensuring that coatings adhere properly and perform as expected. With blast booths, you can achieve a high-quality finish every time, which is vital for industries that demand top-notch surface preparation.
Versatile Options for Different Size and Shape Components
The versatility of blast booths extends to their ability to handle components of various sizes and shapes. From small automotive parts to large industrial machinery, these booths can be configured to accommodate a wide range of items. This adaptability makes them an invaluable asset in many industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. The ability to switch between different blasting techniques and abrasive materials ensures that each component receives the appropriate treatment, enhancing the overall efficiency of the surface preparation process.
Enhanced Safety and Worker Protection
Worker safety is a top priority in any industrial setting, and blast booths play a significant role in enhancing this aspect. The enclosed design of these booths minimizes the exposure of workers to harmful dust and debris. Additionally, the advanced ventilation systems help maintain air quality, reducing the risk of respiratory issues. Blast booths are also equipped with safety features such as automatic shutoff mechanisms and emergency stop buttons, further ensuring the well-being of operators. By providing a safer working environment, blast booths contribute to improved productivity and morale among workers.
Blast booths are undeniably the secret weapon in surface preparation, offering a multitude of benefits that enhance efficiency, safety, and quality. Their superior containment of abrasive materials, customizable configurations, efficient removal of contaminants, consistent surface profiling, and versatile options make them indispensable in various industries. By incorporating blast booths into your surface preparation processes, you can achieve superior results, ensure worker safety, and optimize your operations. Whether you’re working in automotive, aerospace, or any other industry, blast booths are the key to unlocking the full potential of your surface preparation efforts. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Noteworthy News and Space Coast Spotlight:
Forecasts for 2023 are trending upwards
As we approached the end of 2022, numerous headlines predicted a substantial decline in home prices for 2023. This sparked considerable apprehension about the possibility of a housing market collapse reminiscent of the 2008 financial crisis. However, those sensational headlines proved to be inaccurate.
Despite experiencing a modest correction in home prices following the excessive appreciation during the so-called "unicorn" years, national home prices did not plummet. In fact, they exhibited a surprising level of resilience, surpassing the expectations of many.
The chart above shows the forecasts made by experts towards the end of the last year and compares them to their most recent predictions, demonstrating that even these specialists acknowledge their overly pessimistic outlook.

At 7,750 feet above sea level, and covering almost 300 square miles, Yellowstone Lake, in Wyoming, is North America’s largest high-elevation lake. Because of the numerous archeological sites that ring its 124 mile circumference, archeologist have long sought to understand the lake’s role in the seasonal subsistence and settlement patterns of the region’s many Native American groups. For the past five years, the Montana-Yellowstone Archaeological Project (MYAP) has focused on research from Yellowstone Lake. Researchers from the University of Montana have worked with Yellowstone National Park cultural resources staff to identify and investigate archeological sites around the lake’s shores. The project is focused on defining the role of Yellowstone Lake in the lifeways of Native Americans who lived within the northwestern Great Plains, the northern Rocky Mountains, and the far northeastern edge of the Great Basin. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Kiosks Reduce Wait Times in Hospitals
How do we help more patients, more efficiently, but with the same amount of space and hospital administrative staff? This is not a simple question to answer, but one implementation that helps is medical kiosks.
More and more hospitals are using kiosks to solve overcrowding in wait rooms. Overcrowding is a problem for multiple reasons. In most cases, patients are forced to wait with other sick patients increasing the possibility of viral and bacterial transmission. Additionally, patients are expected to wait for longer than they previously had due to limited administrative staff checking patients in. Kiosks can help solve these issues. Here is how it works:
Kiosks can be used for a self-check-in. Patients would input their personal and insurance information as well as medical history. This would allow the patient to check in without ever having to visit the check-in desk. This process frees up hospital staff to check in patients that come in via ambulance or are otherwise unable to check themselves in.
Kiosks can provide a number to the patient after check-in. If integrated with a virtual queueing system, the patient can choose to wait in their vehicle and receive a text message when it is their turn for care. This reduces the interaction between patients, increases comfort, and decongests the waiting area.
Instead of a hospital staff manually looking up deductible information, this creates an efficient system where the patient can pay the deductible directly at the kiosk. For those patients that need payment plans set up, they can still talk to the administrative staff, but the process will be streamlined with the staff already having the necessary information before talking to the patient.
The kiosk can be programmed to use a wide variety of languages. This increases the hospital’s ability to properly care for those who don’t speak the most common languages by reducing the initial language barrier. If a patient can explain the reason for visiting the hospital in their native language, it reduces confusion for both the patient and the hospital staff.
By effectively implementing kiosks, hospitals can improve the speed of a patient’s care while reducing risks and challenges associated with overcrowding waiting rooms. omniQ offers a full line of self-service kiosks that can be completely customized and designed for the needs of the hospital or clinic.

The title of this paper and presentation, "There Is No Root Cause" is lifted directly from Sydney Dekker and his book, The Field Guide To Understanding Human Error. As was Dekker's intent when he wrote this as a section heading in his book, our discussion here is not intended to make the point that investigating incidents to find the root cause should be abandoned. Our purpose here is to explore what Dekker and others are telling us about causation, and the process by which we construct a narrative about what is believed to have occurred. It is this process of constructing or developing the basis for the narrative where care must be taken. Author Erik Hollnagel, in his recent book, Safety I and Safety II, writes, "A problem with root cause analysis as well as most other methods used … is that providing a definitive answer rules out any alternative explanation or even motivation to search for ‘second stories.’"
Investigating workplace incidents is a fundamental skill for safety professionals. It is our job to gather the facts, identify what happened and why, and to find ways to keep it from happening again. However, most of us have received limited training in the investigative process, and even less in how to uncover the multitude of contributing factors that could be material in determining causation. We have learned what we know by reading articles, listening to speakers at conferences, attending seminars, and applying what we have learned on the job. Functionally, we know the fundamental process for investigating well enough. At least well enough to gather information for filing workers' compensation claims and OSHA recordkeeping, and to prescribe corrective measures.
Depending on our experience and the complexity of the situations faced, we may have also been exposed to advanced analytical tools and methods to find the root cause, including the "5 whys," Pareto charts, fishbone diagrams, fault-tree analysis, MORT, HFACS, and others. Depending on who you read or hear, and your level of experience, each has its strengths and weaknesses. In the end, they all start at the beginning and attempt to find a defining cause for what happened. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What Are Retro Pokies?
As we’ve said, retro pokies are games made to evoke a nostalgic feeling, but more specifically, they are made for gamblers who want to reminisce about the good old days.
However, this doesn’t mean that they are the same as classic pokies. Yes, classic pokies often do the same thing, but they also keep the gameplay and the visuals exactly as those games of the past.
On the other hand, retro pokies strive to remind you of the slot machines from Vegas of the past, but they also incorporate modern elements.
In other words, retro pokies pay homage to older machines while simultaneously offering you modern pokie gameplay elements like:
Retro pokies are thus perfect for players who love the games of old but also like modern gameplay elements that make today’s pokies so exciting and fun.

Retro games often feature a burst of various bright colours, just as the pokie machines of old did in the past. You’ll often see comic book elements, cartoons, and various retro cars like Ford Mustangs and BMWs.
Besides being embedded in the symbols, these elements will also be displayed in the background and gridline. The music and sound effects will also add to the overall retro feeling.
What’s also interesting is that many retro games feature one gameplay element that you don’t always see in modern pokies — the gamble feature. Whenever you win something, you’ll get the chance to gamble it to gain double or nothing.
Pros and Cons of Retro-Themed Pokies
There are many pros and cons of every theme in the world of pokies, and the retro theme is no different.

Contribution of Design in the Developmental Process of External Prosthetic Medical Devices
Authors: Demétrio Matos.., António Marques Pinho, Ana Margarida Ferreira, João Paulo Martins
Abstract: Aware of the importance of systemic and multidisciplinary approaches to the development of a new product but also of the synergy of variables and dimensions such as formal-aesthetic, emotional, and usability for its success and for the decision of buying, an active research based on user-centered design methods was carried out. We are seeking to find and validate, through methods such as literary review, direct observation, surveys, interviews and by designing and prototyping a new product, the variables and their relations so that issues such as user needs, as a whole, and organizational expectations, among others, be considered in the design phase. The project chosen to validate this research aims to optimize endoskeleton prosthesis for lower limb and therefore the quality of life for amputees. In the first methodological moment, i.e. analysis, several variables related to shortcomings of the current products and possible improvements were identified through interaction with users. With these data it is hoped to surpass the kind of devices limited to reproduce a walking cycle and obtain effective solutions both for the initial phase of rehabilitation as for the further active life of the patient.
Keywords: Industrial Design, User-centered Design, Multidisciplinarity, lower limb Prosthesis, quality of life.

Q&A#82 Richard Rohr on Scripture
" I came across this post from Richard Rohr on how Jesus interpreted scripture (https://cac.org/jesus-interpreted-scripture-2017-01-10/). Here is a quote from the post:
'Jesus consistently ignored or even denied exclusionary, punitive, and triumphalistic texts in his own inspired Hebrew Bible in favor of passages that emphasized inclusion, mercy, and honesty. He read the Scriptures in a spiritual and selective way. Jesus had a deeper and wider eye that knew which passages were creating a path for God and which passages were merely cultural, self-serving, and legalistic additions. That becomes self-evident once you know enough to see the “comparative meaning” of an incident or statement.
When Christians pretend that every line in the Bible is of equal importance and inspiration, they are being very unlike Jesus. This is precisely why Jesus was accused of teaching “as one who had authority, and not as their scribes” (Matthew 7:29, RSV), and why they hated him so much. Jesus even accused fervent and pious “teachers of the law” of largely missing the point. “Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God?” he asked them (Mark 12:24, RSV). We cannot make the same mistake all over again—and now in Jesus’ name.'
How would you respond to the idea that Jesus read the scripture in a spiritual and selective way and that he emphasized some while ignoring or denying others?"

As we navigate the dynamic landscape of digital assets, it becomes increasingly clear that regulation plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of this industry. At OSL, we view regulation not as a hurdle, but as an essential framework for fostering trust, transparency, and longevity in the digital asset space.
The digital asset sector is a revolutionary field, evolving at an unprecedented pace. With this rapid growth comes the need for robust regulation to ensure the sector’s stability and to protect investors' interests. We firmly believe that the future of digital assets goes beyond technological innovation and market growth. It also requires the establishment of trust and transparency. Our goal is to create an environment where all participants, from retail investors to institutional entities, can confidently interact with digital assets. We are committed to ensuring that the extraordinary potential of this new era of financial innovation is fortified by rigorous, fair, and transparent regulatory practices.
At OSL, we take pride in pioneering this movement. As we announced on June 1, we are thrilled to have applied for an upgrade to our existing license with the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong, in line with new regulatory requirements. This step reflects our unwavering commitment to compliance and excellence in the digital asset space. It signifies our dedication to expanding access to digital asset trading for all types of investors while adhering to rigorous investor protection standards.

Our efforts contrast with some practices observed elsewhere in the industry. Binance, for instance, has recently faced scrutiny from regulators, emphasizing the importance of rigorous adherence to regulatory frameworks in maintaining trust in the digital asset space. This is not to cast a shadow on Binance's contributions to the industry, but to underline the critical role that regulatory compliance plays in the long-term sustainability of digital asset platforms.
Furthermore, the recent SEC Vs Coinbase saga serves as a stark reminder of the importance of regulatory clarity in the digital asset industry. The contrast between OSL and Coinbase's current predicaments underscores the critical importance of a clear, well-defined regulatory regime.
These recent developments in the regulatory landscape also underscore the criticality of aligning business practices with regulatory requirements. We believe that regulatory compliance is not an obligation but an opportunity. An opportunity to build trust with our clients, contribute to the maturation of the digital asset space and pave the way for the mainstream adoption of digital assets.
As we continue to navigate the evolving digital assets environment, our priority remains to provide secure, compliant, and innovative services to our clients. We see these changes as an opportunity to reinforce our commitment to fostering a regulated and transparent digital asset environment. We are excited about this new chapter in OSL's history and look forward to continuing to provide world-class services to our valued clients and to the broader digital asset community.
The future of digital assets is bright, and at OSL, we are dedicated to illuminating the path forward with a steadfast commitment to regulation, transparency, and trust.

The conduit industry has terminology specific to the industry and distinct from other industries using HDPE pipe. Firstly, the HDPE tube product that acts as a raceway for the cable is referred to as a conduit or duct, and these terms are generally used interchangeably within the industry.
Innerduct is conduit used inside another conduit to subdivide the larger duct and provide multiple pathways for installation of current and future cables. Cables are generally defined as power (electrical) or communication. Power cables can be high (>35KV), medium (15-35kV) or low (600V) voltage.
Among other uses, they are commonly used for providing transmission or distribution power, highway lighting, and irrigation system control. Communications cables are often either coaxial (typically used in CATV) or fiber optic designs, used for networks, data centers, telephony, SCADA, etc.
HDPE conduit serves two primary industries: communications (telephone, Cable TV (CATV), data transmission, etc.) and power (transmission, distribution or commercially installed electrical cable). HDPE conduit serves both OSP (Outside Plant) networks and ISP (Inside Plant) premise cabling and enterprise systems.
In the communications industry, the advent of fiber optic cable has had a tremendous impact due to its significantly higher data-carrying capacity, necessitated by the explosion of the internet, cloud computing, data centers, 5G wireless and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In telecommunications service (phone, data transmission), fiber optic cable is used, along with traditional copper cable.
In cable television service (CATV), the use of fiber optic cable is growing rapidly to supplement, or replace, coaxial cable. This progression toward fiber optic cable has made the need for cable protection more critical as these materials are sensitive to moisture and mechanical stress.
Damage can be very expensive in terms of service interruptions and replacement costs. Also, these cables are installed in very long, continuous runs that require a clear, protected pathway, as well as a leak-free system for air-assisted (“blow-in”) installations.
In addition to fiber optic cables, coaxial cables have also seen improvements that increase bandwidth making these materials more mechanically sensitive and requiring improved protection.
In the power transmission industry, a critical requirement is maintaining uninterrupted electrical service as consumers and businesses are even less tolerant of power outages than they are of phone or communication service interruptions.
Although many direct buried power cable systems are designed for 30- or 40-year lifetimes, they are susceptible to external influences, like rock impingement and ground movement, that may require frequent repair.
Severe weather is the number one cause of power outages in the United States, costing the economy between $18 and $33 billion every year in lost output and wages, spoiled inventory, delayed production and damage to grid infrastructure. Also, threats to aerial installations from traffic and wildlife are ubiquitous.
North America’s electrical distribution grid is also an aging infrastructure that requires extensive upgrades to effectively meet 21st century energy demands and expectations for grid reliability and resiliency. The use of conduit is finding favor over direct burial cables in these applications due to improved protection, long continuous runs and the ability facilitate quick repairs.
HDPE conduit is used to carry both primary (substation to transformer) and secondary (transformer to end-user) cables. Some of these installations also contain fiber optic cables placed alongside the power cables to connect with load-monitoring sensors located throughout the network, known as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems.
Underground installation of power distribution lines using HDPE conduit is a reliable, sustainable and economical solution. When utilities have a choice between burying power lines underground and installing aerial power lines in vulnerable or unsightly locations, experts encourage them to analyze lifetime costs of underground vs. aerial installations on a case-by-case basis, considering technical, economic and environmental factors.
Although initial installation costs of underground power distribution lines may be higher, installation by plowing of HDPE conduit and pulling cable can reduce underground construction costs.
Also, by utilizing modern horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technologies, underground power installations can be far less disruptive when replacing or upgrading existing infrastructure partially due to lowering refurbishment costs.
Whether for communications or power applications, HDPE conduit has significant advantages over other conduit materials. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
What is Flap Steak? Who thought of flap steak as a name? Today, I am making Teriyaki Bourbon Flap Steak Tips over some hot Cowboy Charcoal on my grill. It is a tender delicious blend of steak tips and stir fry. But to make this recipe amazing, you first need to know what sirloin tips are and how to best make them.
Post Sponsored by Cowboy Charcoal
What is Flap Steak?
Flap steak comes from the bottom sirloin beef. It is usually long, fatty and very thin. This is an excellent cut to substitute for skirt steak, flank steak or hanger steak recipes! It is traditionally pretty unique inside of the United States grilling culture. It, however, has been gaining tons of popularity lately because of its uniqueness and its size! Flap steak tastes good with soy sauce, pepper, and garlic.
How do you cook Flap Steak?
Traditionally, flap steak is first marinated (or not), seasoned and then grilled over the fire quickly. It is great for tacos, sandwiches and skewers. But what about for these Teriyaki Bourbon Flap Steak Tips with a hint of stir fry action? Let’s find out! Marinate the flap steak for at least 30 minutes.
The Teriyaki Bourbon Flap Steak Tips
In my recipe, I sliced the flap steak into thin pieces and then marinated them in teriyaki sauce, bourbon, mushrooms, onions and spices. This will allow the meat to absorb the flavor really quickly while creating a unique blend on sirloin tips and stir fry. Pulled out the wok, place it over some hot Cowboy Charcoal, and cooked the steak with veggies until the veggies were browned. Finally, I pulled the Teriyaki Bourbon Flap Steak tips out of the wok and placed them on the grill to finish. The flap steak cooking time is 30 minutes.
In the end, the crispy but tender steak tips can be added to rice with mushrooms and onions. It’s a fun twist on outdoor cooking!
Teriyaki Bourbon Flap Steak Tips
- Cast Iron Wok
- Cowboy Charcoal
- 1 Sirloin Flap Steak cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 Cups of your favorite Teriyaki Sauce
- ¼ Cup of Your Favorite Bourbon
- ¼ Cup of Mushrooms sliced
- 1 Yellow Onion sliced
- 1 Lemon juiced
- Parsley garnish
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Avocado Oil
- In a bowl or plastic seal bag, add sliced sirloin steak, teriyaki sauce, bourbon, mushrooms, onions, and squeezed lemon juice. Let marinate for 2-12 hours. Before pulling out to grill, make sure to strain meat & veggies to remove as much marinade juice as possible.
- Use some Cowboy Southern Style Hardwood Lump Charcoal to light fire and let burn for 10-15 minutes. Once Charcoal is white hot, push into one pile for direct grilling.
- Place cast iron wok with avocado oil over fire 2-3 minutes before cooking to preheat.
- Add strained & marinated steak & veggies to wok and cook over high heat for 8 minutes or until the veggies have browned. Pull wok off grill and add steak back to grill grate to finish. Cook the steak until 115F for medium-rare. Let steak rest for 5-8 minutes.
- Slice steak & top with salt, pepper, parsley, and grilled veggies. (Optional: Add some rice to a bowl and eat with steak. Enjoy!

There have been many breakthroughs in human history. Things that changed how our species lived, survived, and interacted with each other. Arguably one of the biggest was when we learned to farm.
Around 10,000 years ago, the first human farmers began to care for crops in a particular area. Before that, they were hunters and gathers—they wandered from place to place, eating what they could find that was already growing, moving on when that supply ran out. Farming meant that they could begin living in one area all the time, which led to people building the first towns and cities.
It was not only an important breakthrough, but it was a rare one. Only a few other animal species have been found to be farming, and they are all insects: certain species of ants, beetles, and termites. But a new study claims to have found a new farmer: pocket gophers!
According to research out of the University of Florida, these animals care for and fertilize the roots of longleaf pine trees. This would make them the first known non-human mammal who practices farming!
Before we begin predicting a future gopher metropolis, let's take a look at the claim.
Pocket gophers live underground in groups in a series of connected tunnels that they dig. The networks can each be hundreds of metres long. They are also 'invaded' by the roots of a tree—the longleaf pine. This works out great for the gophers because these roots are their favourite food!
The gophers then fertilize these roots with their own waste. That's right, their poop and pee! Animal waste is well known as a fertilizer for all kinds of crops—farmers add these things to crops all the time because they add essential nutrients to the soil. The gophers go even further in assisting the roots by guarding and maintaining the tunnels where they grow.
"They're providing this perfect environment for roots to grow and fertilizing them with their waste," said zoologist Veronica Selden of the University of Florida, who is one of the leaders of this study, in the science magazine Eureka.
In short, the animals are caring for and feeding their crop so that they can later have better meals themselves. Like how human farmers do.
Is this really farming?
Here is the big question, though. Is this really farming?
That depends on your definition of farming. For some, farming must include collecting seeds and then planting a crop.
“Planting the crop, for some people, is what constitutes agriculture,” said U of Florida professor Jack Putz, also in Eureka. But he noted that some human cultures practice a type of farming where they tend to crops that they don't plant themselves. “I think the whole issue [of what is farming] is intellectually exciting because it’s not really settled."
What Putz is saying is that the pocket gophers behave similarly to humans who care for fruit trees in a forest that were already growing. Though they don't plant the trees, they care for them and help to keep them alive so that they can enjoy their fruit.
Are the gophers doing the same thing with the longleaf pine roots? Researchers like Selden and Putz argue that the evidence says that they are. We certainly love the idea of farming gophers, too! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Queensland’s $45 million Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Rebate Scheme, which has been highly successful in assisting Queensland drivers with the transition to electric vehicles (EVs), will close today at 11:59 pm.
Since 1 July 2022, the Queensland Government committed $45 million to support Queensland’s successful EV uptake and assisted with cost of living pressures by making EVs more affordable, through reducing upfront costs of purchasing a new eligible EV.
In just over two years, the scheme successfully:
- Supported the EV supply market, with car manufacturers almost doubling the number of EV car models offered to Queensland drivers.
- Supported over 10,000 Queenslanders transition to EVs.
- Boosted EV uptake in Queensland. There were over 46,000 EV passenger cars registered in Queensland as of 31 July 2024, four times more than the 9,100 at the start of the scheme.
- Accelerated the transition of the Queensland fleet towards EVs, with EV passenger cars comprising 1% of the total car fleet in Queensland, compared to 0.2% at the start of the scheme.
- Advanced progress towards achieving the ZEV Strategy target of 50% new passenger vehicles sales to be zero emission by 2030. In the year ending June 2024, ZEVs (including light commercial vehicles and SUVs) comprised 8.5% of total QLD’s new passenger vehicle sales, compared to 1.7% two years ago.
Initially planned to run for three years, the scheme has proven popular, finishing in just over two years, and benefiting over 10,000 Queensland individuals and businesses.
The pace of change in the EV market has seen significant decreases in the price of new cars with the price of popular models dropping from between as much as 10- 30 percent since the end of 2023.
The scheme successfully helped to increase EV uptake in Queensland, with EV car registrations rising fourfold since the start of the scheme, to over 46,000 as of 31 July 2024.
EV cars now make up 1 per cent of the total car fleet in Queensland, up from only 0.2% per cent two years ago.
The ZEV rebate scheme was an action under the Queensland’s Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy 2022-2032 (ZEV Strategy) and Action Plan 2022-2024, intended to reduce the upfront costs of purchasing a new, full battery, light passenger, or light commercial ZEV.
The upfront purchase price of ZEVs has been a significant barrier to many Queenslanders who wish to transition to or purchase a ZEV as their next vehicle.
The ZEV rebate scheme has helped many lower to middle income Queenslanders access the EV market, and supported the development of the EV supply market, with almost double the number of EV models available since the inception of the scheme.
The scheme was successful in advancing progress towards achieving the ZEV Strategy target of 50% of new passenger vehicle sales to be zero emission by 2030.
In the year ending June 2024, 8.5 per cent of total Queensland’s new passenger vehicle sales were zero emission, compared to 1.7 per cent two years ago. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Unhealthy Microbiome May Raise Death Risk After Organ Transplant
People with an "unhealthy"gut microbiome appear to be more likely to die following an organ transplant, a new study warns.
These gut microbe patterns are specifically associated with deaths from cancer and infection, regardless of the organ that's been transplanted, researchers reported recently in the journal Gut.
"Across kidney, liver, heart and lung transplant recipients, we identified two overall microbial community variation patterns that are associated with all-cause mortality independent of the type of organ transplant, and specifically to death from malignancy and infection,"wrote the team led by Johannes Bjork, a fellow at University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands.
The results indicate that the health of a person's gut microbiome should be considered when preparing for an organ transplant, the researchers concluded in a journal news release.
The makeup of the gut microbiome has been previously associated with diseases like inflammatory bowel disease and diabetes.
However, few studies have been able to link gut health to long-term survival, researchers said.
For this study, researchers analyzed the microbiome profiles from more than 1,300 fecal samples provided by transplant patients, and compared them to the microbiomes of more than 8,200 other people living in the same part of the northern Netherlands.
The more that the gut microbiome patterns of transplant recipients diverged from those of the general population, the more likely they were to die sooner following their transplant, researchers found.
Further investigation revealed 19 bacterial species that specifically increase a transplant patient's risk of death.
For example, people with an abundance of four Clostridium bacterial species had an increased risk of death, particularly from infection, researchers said.
Another set of bacterial species was associated with an increased risk of death from cancer. Those species all produce butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and helps maintain gut wall integrity, researchers noted.
The Cleveland Clinic has more about the gut microbiome.

Abigail Adams, former First Lady of the U.S., famously said, “Let’s not forget the women.” March is National Women’s History Month, a time when we recognize all women’s accomplishments and contributions to history, culture and society. In accordance with this celebration, the Berks Women’s History Alliance has partnered with the Berks History Center (BHC) to recognize women who were and are currently FIRST in their field in Berks County.
The Berks County Commission for Women first started this project in 2007. Since then, the Berks Women’s History Alliance has worked to expand the list of honorees who are first in their field. The hope is to shed light on the individual journeys taken to accomplish these feats and honor these trailblazing women who continue to lead the way.
Among the women recognized are Dr. Courtney McKay Stevens, the first elected President of the Berks County Commission for Women; Karen Miller, the first woman Mayor of Reading; Rosa Julia Parra, Founder, CEO, and Editor of PALO Magazine; and many more!
The culmination of this project will be a presentation held at the BHC Museum on Saturday, March 12, 2022, at 10 AM. Attendees must call 610-375-4375 prior to the event to reserve their space. The cost of this program is $5 for BHC members and $8 for non-members.
We offer our deepest thanks to all the women who made this project a reality. Sharing these accomplishments will allow future generations to see “the best is yet to be!

We consider the evaluation and training of a new policy for the evaluation data by using the historical data obtained from a different policy. The goal of off-policy evaluation (OPE) is to estimate the expected reward of a new policy over the evaluation data, and that of off-policy learning (OPL) is to find a new policy that maximizes the expected reward over the evaluation data. Although the standard OPE and OPL assume the same distribution of covariate between the historical and evaluation data, there often exists a problem of a covariate shift,i.e., the distribution of the covariate of the historical data is different from that of the evaluation data. In this paper, we derive the efficiency bound of OPE under a covariate shift. Then, we propose doubly robust and efficient estimators for OPE and OPL under a covariate shift by using an estimator of the density ratio between the distributions of the historical and evaluation data. We also discuss other possible estimators and compare their theoretical properties. Finally, we confirm the effectiveness of the proposed estimators through experiments. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Repairs can be minor from our professionals’ perspective. Expertise and specialized equipment are still required, but it may be that a few pothole repairs are all you need. Maybe an asphalt patch here or there. Older driveways and lots with more severe damage may require a more intensive repair known as resurfacing. This will give your asphalt pavement an entirely new surface. It’s much less costly than a full dig out, but the final product looks just as good. Give us a call today and schedule an assessment to see if your asphalt qualified for our resurfacing services.
Our years of experience mean that you can expect reliable, seamless repairs, honest quotes, and quick problem-solving. Our on-site experience surpasses all others in the area, and we can’t wait to prove it when we start your asphalt repair.

When it comes to the latest news in real estate, there are a lot of sensational headlines in the media. In times like this, when it can be hard to know what to believe, put your trust in the experts. Those of us in the housing market respect that buying or selling a home is a major life decision, and we offer advice based on what the data shows.
Despite what you may have read, the housing market is still undeniably strong. Here’s a look at what leading experts have to say about buyer demand today and how it continues to shape the industry:
Michael Lane, President at ShowingTime:
“In general, there are definite signs of cooling demand. However, buyer traffic is still at historically high levels compared to pre-pandemic showings.”
Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist at First American:
“Seasonally adjusted purchase applications tick up slightly to the highest level since July. Demand for homes remains strong and steady. Excluding 2020 (not a good benchmark) purchase applications are the strongest in a decade.”
Selma Hepp, Deputy Chief Economist at CoreLogic:
“Home buyer demand pushed price growth to a new record high in June, with S&P CoreLogic national Case-Shiller Index clocking in an 18.6% year-over-year growth rate. The month-to-month index jumped 2.18%, making it another strong monthly growth, and the fastest May-to-June increase since the data series began.”
What It Means for You
As a seller, buyer demand is an important factor that helps influence how fast your house will sell and how many buyers may be competing for it. When buyers have to compete against each other for a limited supply of available homes, bidding wars can drive prices up. While things have cooled slightly since the peak of the pandemic housing rush, buyer demand is still far surpassing historical norms. That’s why we’re still in a sellers’ market.
If you’re torn on whether or not you want to sell your home this year, rest assured it’s still a great time to make a move. Let’s connect to discuss how you can sell now and do it on your best terms thanks to today’s buyer demand. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

How do you go about buying shoes? Are you attracted to the displays in shoe stores as you walk through the mall, or do you do some research before you shop? This article has some great tips about how to get the most for your money when you need to buy a new pair of shoes.
When searching for athletic shoes, it is important to consider you walking gait. There are many shoe stores available with a knowledgeable staff to help you choose the correct type of athletic shoe. By choosing a shoe that is correct for your gait, your feet will be protected from injuries.
You should wear the same type of socks as usual when you go shopping for a new pair of shoes. Wear some thicker socks if you are shopping for winter shoes during the summer. The thickness of your socks can make a real difference in how a pair of shoe fits.
Measure your feet at least once every year, even as an adult. You may think that your feet are set by the time you’re older, but it’s far from the case. Your feet change as you age, so it’s important to measure them annually. It can mean all the difference to your overall comfort.
Shoe shop near the end of your shopping day. Why, you may be asking? As the day progresses, your feet swell. This is especially true if you’ve been on them all day. Buy shoes that’ll accommodate your feet during this period. If you buy shoes in the morning, you may find they feel uncomfortable as the day goes on.
Children’s shoe sizes change quickly. Use a Brannock Device and have your child stand up because the feet fall more naturally when standing. Be sure to measure both feet because it is normal for one foot to be larger than the other. For comfort, purchase shoes to fit the larger foot.
The next time you go shopping for shoes, try and find a store that offers old-fashioned customer service. Having your feet measured is always the best way of finding the perfect fit, and the expert staff can recommend different styles that will be comfortable too. Regular department stores can’t hold a candle to the custom shops!
The perfect pair of shoes can make or break an outfit. To show off your good fashion sense, spice up a plain outfit with a patterned or textured shoe. If your outfit is a mix of prints or decorated with florals, a solid color shoe will be the best compliment.
If you want to practice a sport or an outdoor activity, you should choose some shoes specifically designed for this activity. Try different pairs and choose one that makes you feel comfortable. You can greatly reduce the risks of injuring yourself while practicing a sport if you wear comfortable shoes.
Velcro can help your child get their shoes on quickly. Even if your kid can tie their own shoes, doing so when you’re in a rush can take a while. This can help on crazy mornings.
If keeping in style is important to you, take the time to search out some fashion blogs. There are many out there that talk about all the popular fashion trends, including shoes. By keeping on top of this you will learn what is in and out, and will know what to get.
Always remember to remove your shoelaces before you polish your shoes. Sometimes shoes can really benefit from a good polishing. Leaving the shoelaces in can cause problems, though. Make sure to remove the shoelaces. You will avoid staining them and have an easier time cleaning the tongue of the shoe.
Join the online mailing list of any shoe store you love. Subscribers often receive coupons, notification about upcoming sales or special news about new arrivals before the information is posted to their website. You might even automatically be entered into contests just by being signed up for the eNewsletter!
When choosing suede shoes, opt for those that have been treated with a water repellant. Water repellant applied after you purchase shoes work; however, it does not work as well as shoes that have been sprayed with water repellant in the factory. This is because the suede is evenly sprayed.
When you shop for shoes, make sure you wear the same stockings or socks you that you will typically wear with the shoes you’re purchasing. Dress shoes require a different type of sock or stocking than gym shoes. If you try on shoes with thin socks and end up wearing them with thick socks, they will be too tight.
People have different methods of shopping, and this also applies to buying new shoes. Even though many people don’t think about it, the shoes you wear can have a considerable effect on how you look and feel. Use the great tips in this article to make sure you not only end up with great looking shoes, but shoes that support your body correctly. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
