The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) told the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in April 14 testimony that it should not give the state of California a federal waiver that would allow a proposal to require the mandatory retrofitting of off-road diesel construction equipment to move forward.
ARTBA Assistant General Counsel Nick Goldstein testified during the EPA hearing that allowing the waiver would penalize small businesses that operate affected equipment, result in a patchwork approach to regulation that could render construction equipment useable in one state and not another, and ultimately lead to an increase in taxpayer costs on infrastructure projects,
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has asked EPA to grant the authority to require new technology retrofits on all construction equipment — technology not anticipated to be widely available to manufacturers until 2014. Under the federal Clean Air Act (CAA), California has a unique status allowing the state to set stricter air quality regulations than the federal government in certain areas.
Goldstein said that the proposed rule sets impractical application goals because while the retrofitting technology is available on a small scale, a sudden increase in demand caused by the rule would cause limited supplies to be exhausted.
He also said that CARB should further assess the benefits of current emissions regulations which have resulted in a marked improvement in air quality. Goldstein said such a pause would also allow time for manufacturers to develop equipment clean enough and in adequate supply to readily comply with future regulatory requirements.
The ARTBA attorney testified that the EPA must recognize the full impacts of air quality improvements already occurring in California, and around the U.S., as a result of current regulations. He said that a 2006 regulation governing nitric oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) would, when fully implemented, have an effect equivalent to removing 164 million cars from U.S. roadways. He also noted that continued EPA implementation of rules governing heavy-duty truck and bus emissions will result in a 90 percent reduction of exhaust pollution from these vehicles.
Vehicle retrofitting is a viable option, and one that should continue at a pace supported by supply and demand. “ARTBA looks forward to continuing to work with both EPA and CARB in encouraging voluntary diesel retrofitting at an attainable pace, rather than mandating retrofits at a pace many companies will not be able to meet,” Goldstein said during the hearing.

Despite recent dips in construction spending and employment, the mood in the industry is, well, better. Better than it was last year anyway as 151,000 jobs have been added since then, the unemployment rate is down to 13.2 percent and spending is up 5 percent.
As we’ve noted before, a lot of this has to do with the housing recovery. Home construction spending is up 17.8 percent in the last year to $301.6 billion. Meanwhile, analysts are getting excited as they expect home purchases to increase along with mortgage interest rates and home prices.
And some investors, as noted in an excellent editorial from Canada’s paper of record The Globe and Mail, see a recent surge in rental property construction as a good thing for the housing and construction recovery as well. But Sheryl King sees things a bit differently.
King notes that historically, rental properties have been seen as an “inferior good” because the demand for such properties increases whenever the nation’s average income decreases. She argues that for the U.S. to see “a truly sustained housing recovery, the pool of first-time home buyers needs to increase.”
Unfortunately, that’s going to be tough. For starters, the number of first-time home buyers is at an all-time low: 30 percent, which is 10 percent lower than normal. Second, due to the recession, most young Americans, who make up the majority of first-time home buyers, simply don’t have the careers, income or savings to buy a home.
King explains that the average nest egg for young Americans is $6,000—nowhere near enough for a 20-percent down payment on a home—and most simply don’t have good enough credit or the type of career that lenders and the Federal Housing Authority like to see when opting to forego that big down payment in favor of mortgage insurance.
Another problem? Student debt. That number is only getting higher and as King notes, defaulting on student debt could be a death blow for a young person’s hopes of landing a mortgage.

Nothing can be more stressful than moving home, especially if you’re uprooting a whole family and heading out to a new location. Not only is the move itself demanding, but it can also disrupt your working and lifestyle routine as you get accustomed. That’s why any methods to make the home move easier will be a big help, and planning ahead with these tips is a must.
- Don’t Pack Too Early
It’s a great idea to get ahead and begin organising your moving boxes, but you don’t want to risk packing any items you’re going to need right up until moving day. It will be more time and energy wasted packing everything early only to realise you need something and then have to dig back into your carefully packed boxes.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t get a head start on packing — in fact, it’s encouraged. As long as it’s items you know you absolutely won’t need and can safely store until moving day.
- Organize Supplies and Groceries
When you’re so preoccupied with the move itself, it’s easy to forget about basic supplies like food and drink. When you’re so used to having access to a freshly stocked fridge, clean cups, and a kettle, moving into a new home can be a shock to the system when you realise all your key items are packed up instead of being ready on the side.
Organizing your groceries for moving day is a must, both to keep energized for the move itself and then to have everything you need as soon as you’re in, instead of contending with bare cupboards and an empty fridge.
You may want to order a shopping delivery to your new property for the day you move in, have a loved one help you by dropping off some groceries, or plan for it yourself to take all items with you.
At the very least, make sure you have basic supplies to keep hydrated.
- Get an Estate Agent You Can Depend On
You’ll always benefit from good communication from your estate agent, whether renting or buying so that you can plan ahead of time for when you can get the keys and when the property will be available. Professional estate agents like robertoandco.com will help make your move easier by keeping you in the loop and helping with any questions you have about your new property.
- Set Up Utilities in Advance
If this is possible, it’s definitely encouraged so that you can take advantage of utilities being ready for you. Especially for internet and electricity, this can make a difference for a comfortable move. You can compare your cheapest utility price options or notify your current supplier ahead of time regarding your new address.
Any address changes and paperwork you can take care of ahead of time will be a big relief for you when you’re actually moving and also ensures mail and communication won’t be sent to your old address.

Semi-trailers are one of the key means to ship larger cargo, and every business owner wants to make sure it is well-monitored and protected. Our asset tracking solution is just the right choice for it.
Road transportation is still one of the most popular modes of goods transportation, as it offers financial advantages over other forms of transportation. Semi-trailer logistics, precisely, is preferred for shipping a variety of cargo. Since the e-commerce business expands, the need for a sophisticated distribution network amplifies.
Another factor influencing the development of the market is the growth of the end-use industries, like a cold chain. The growing economy in the advanced countries allows people to spend more money on pharmaceutical products, poultry, fresh flowers, fish, dairy products, fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it is no surprise that efficient logistics is indistinguishable from delivering services of high quality.
Business owners, however, have to deal with some problems related to semi-trailer logistics. From time to time, there are reports surfacing on the media about loaded trailers getting emptied by thieves which causes hefty financial damages. Also, there are cases when the shipped cargo is damaged due to improper temperature monitoring. Over the last years, TT Club, and TAPA EMEA identified a significant increase in criminals targeting cargo at rest. Whether it be at unsecured parking lots or container yards near port facilities, delays indirectly made cargo more vulnerable to tampering by thieves and smugglers. These cargo crime trends are juxtaposed with record-breaking cargo transiting through ports, driving record-breaking port congestion and idle times.
Smart IoT solutions nowadays can help dealing with the mentioned issues, and Eteria has one with your desired perks included
Since there is a problem with thefts coming from loaded semi-trailers, our Mobile Tracker is equipped with the features designed to combat it. First of all, the tracker helps to identify where your semi-trailer is at any time through periodic or scheduled tracking. Secondly, the additional IoT sensors enable instant notifications if there is an unauthorized attempt to open the trailer.
Moreover, if your customer wants to monitor the temperature inside the (refrigerated) trailer, the installation of additional IoT sensors assures you won’t miss any deviations from the configurated norms.
Since the tracker can be configured to send notifications at particular periods of time and wake up when there is undesired action related to the security of the assets, you wouldn’t need to worry about charging it constantly. All in all, in your online platform where you can easily follow the situation and alter the tracking/notification parameters if needed.
- INCREASED SAFETY. The Bluetooth sensors will ensure theft detection and up-to-the-minute transmission of security alarms. For example, in case of an unauthorized attempt to open the semi-trailer.
- PROTECTION OF QUALITY OF GOODS. The information about sudden decrease/increase of temperature will quickly reach responsible people to protect the cargo. All in all, additional IoT sensors allow accurate temperature monitoring to maintain the semi-trailer within the set limits.
- SMALL, ROBUST AND EASY TO INSTALL. Our tracker can be set up manually in just a few minutes. Meanwhile, FOTA WEB tool enables encrypted connection via the internet and easy access to the online platform.

When Jesus returns to Nazareth, He goes to the synagogue. He’s asked to read the Scriptures and is handed the Book of Isaiah. From it, He reads Isaiah 61:1-2. The prophecy speaks of bringing good news to the poor, proclaiming liberty to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, freeing the oppressed, and announcing that it’s time the Lord will save His people. When He finishes reading, Jesus announces to the people that the prophecy has come true as it was just read. Discussion Questions 1.What does Jesus read? Does He accomplish those things listed? 2.Why do the people get angry? 3.Do we get angry at God for the truths He tells?

The 'Last Man on Earth' star gets very real about the trouble of dating while raising a young child.
January Jones is happy being single.
The Last Man on Earth star covers the latest issue of Violet Grey, where she opens up about her changing outlook on dating and monogamy -- particularly while being a single parent.
"It limits your sex life, for sure. Because you can’t bring someone home when your kid’s coming into the room," the 40-year-old actress admits. "Honestly, my son turns up in the middle of the night and asks for a massage, and then I fall asleep.'
"I imagine that’s what marriage is like," Jones says with a laugh.
Of course, Jones, who has by choice never addressed her 6-year-old son, Xander's, paternity, shares that she's comfortable with herself and in no rush to sign a marriage license.
"I’ve definitely felt like that: I thought I would marry the boyfriend I was with in my early 20s and we would have loads of babies," she says. "But then he cheated on me, and I was like, Oh. After a series of disappointments, I’ve just gotten more and more comfortable with myself, where I don’t need a partner to be happy."
"I don’t know that I’d want to get married unless I met the love of my life and it was important to him," the former Mad Men star adds. "Give me the ring but keep the paperwork."
Meanwhile, Jones recently found herself the subject of romance rumors with ex-Bachelor Nick Viall. Watch the video below for what ET learned is really going on.

These new adhesives are typically used for light carpets in the automotive industry. They are also used in smart device sensors and wearables to create structured light in projectors or time-of-flight sensing applications for automotive and consumer products.
Panacol has successfully formulated resins for imprint replication of refractive lenses and diffractive optical elements (DOEs). These materials are suitable for micro- and nanoimprint lithography or wafer level optics. In addition to the suitability of these materials for commonly used glass wafers, the new generation products demonstrate outstanding adhesion to trending new polymer substrates, including optical grade PET, PC, or COP. Once applied and imprinted, the adhesives are cured by UV light, creating a precise and durable structure. The optical properties are specifically tailored to meet the requirements of the targeted substrate.
According to Panacol, one of the latest generation of optical materials, Vitralit UC 1633, features a further improved yellowing resistance, higher optical transmission, and superior shape retention. Vitralit UC 1633 is easy to demould from PDMS moulds, which makes it the perfect material to form microlenses such as those used in smart watches.
For unique optical applications and assembly, Panacol offers black UV-curable materials for shading and masking properties. “Black&Light” adhesives, such as Vitralit BL UC 1103, can be cured in thicker layers by light only, resulting in optical densities of up to six (highly blocking). For assembly of optical components, Panacol offers a range of UV curable adhesives for bonding and alignment. For curing in shadow zones, dual cure adhesives with a secondary moisture or heat curing step are available.
These optical materials and adhesives for optical bonding are efficiently cured with high intensity LED curing systems from Hönle, which match the wavelengths of the Panacol photoinitiators. Once cured, Panacol’s optical grade adhesives are flexible and tension equalizing, reducing the stress on dissimilar substrates.
The SPIE Photonics West exhibition will take place at the Moscone Centre from 28-30 January 2025.

CBG Oil with CBD and CBDa – 3% Strength (20ml)
Demystifying CBG: The “Stem Cell” Cannabinoid with Potential Benefits
Have you heard of CBG? It’s one of the many fascinating cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, sometimes referred to as the plant’s “stem cell” due to its unique role. Scientists worldwide are exploring its potential therapeutic benefits.
Unlike many other cannabinoids, CBG transforms into other well-known compounds like CBD as the cannabis plant matures. This natural conversion process usually leaves very little CBG in the plant. However, researchers have discovered that harvesting plants earlier allows them to preserve higher amounts of CBG in the resulting oils.
CBG vs. CBD: Similarities and Differences
Both CBG and CBD are non-psychoactive, meaning they won’t produce a “high” like THC. While they share some effects on the body, research suggests CBG may offer distinct benefits.
Why Consider CBG Oil?
If you’re already a CBD user seeking additional potential benefits, CBG oil might be a great choice!
The Power of Full Spectrum: The Entourage Effect
Full Spectrum CBD products utilize the entire range of the hemp plant’s natural cannabinoids and terpenes, like CBG and beneficial compounds like Linalool and Limonene. This holistic approach, known as the “Entourage Effect,” suggests that these cannabinoids and terpenes work together synergistically, potentially creating a more potent effect than CBD isolate alone.
The Hemp Oil Advantage
Our Cannabigerol oil is formulated with a base of high-quality hemp seed oil, known for its own health benefits. Hemp seed oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, making it potentially beneficial for skin health and possibly reducing cardiovascular disease risk.

The Far North District experiences natural hazards in many different forms. The main areas of effect are slippage and flooding.
Identifying and addressing natural hazards
The Regional Council identifies hazard areas such as coastal hazard, indicative areas of flooding and erosion prone. FNDC has GIS mapping which identifies hazards, suspect ground and known events. Refer to Maps and Aerials for links.
Natural hazards are addressed by a range of regulatory processes, some of which arise under the Building Act 2004.The Building Act defines a 'natural hazard' as:-
- Erosion including coastal erosion, bank erosion, and sheet erosion
- Falling debris including soil, rock, snow, and ice
- Inundation including flooding, overland flow, storm surge, tidal effects & ponding
FNDC as the Building Consent Authority (BCA) must refuse to grant a building consent for the construction of a building, or major alterations to a building, under Section 71(1)(a) & (b) of the Building Act if:
The land is subject to 1 or more natural hazards or the building work is likely to accelerate, worsen, or result in a natural hazard on that land, or any other property.
However, under Section 71(2) the restriction on the BCA's ability to grant a building consent does not apply if:
The BCA is satisfied that 'adequate provision' has been made, or will be made, to:-
(a) protect the land, building work, or other property from the natural hazard (s); or
(b) restore any damage to that land or other property as a result of the building work.
What does 'adequate provision' mean?
In order to demonstrate that 'adequate provision' has been made for the purposes of Section 71(2)(a) or (b), applicants are required to provide a site-specific report from a Chartered Professional Engineer in support of their building consent application. The FNDC will take that report into account when deciding whether Sections 71(2)(a) or (b) apply.
The report must address Sections 71(2)(a) and/or (b) (as the case may be) and confirm that the applicable statutory requirements will be satisfied, including:
- Confirmation that suitable mitigation of the relevant natural hazard has been or will be achieved on site;
- Confirmation that the proposed design incorporates appropriate protection of the land, the building work, or other property and/or that any damage to the land or other property will be restored;
- Producer Statement (PS1) certification of the design;
- Assessment of compliance with the NZ Building Code
Despite the requirements of Section 71, there are instances when the BCA must grant a building consent for building work on land subject to natural hazards. The criteria are set out in section 72 of the Building Act. They are:
- The proposed building work will not accelerate, worsen, or result in a natural hazard on the land on which the building work is to be carried out or on any other property; and
- The land is subject to, or is likely to be subject to, one or more natural hazards; and
- It is reasonable to grant a waiver or modification of the building code in respect of the natural hazard (if required).
All of these criteria must be satisfied before section 72 will operate to avoid the restriction on a BCA's ability to grant a building consent that arises under section 71(1).
When a building consent is granted under section 72, the BCA must notify the Registrar-General of Land of the consent. The Registrar-General of Land will then place an entry on the title of the land, confirming that the building consent has been granted under section 72 and identifying the natural hazard concerned (see Section 74 of the Building Act for more details).
Please note that an entry on a title under Section 74 of the Building Act may affect insurance arrangements for the proposed building work, or any existing building or land to which it relates.

As Federal, State, and Local health agencies continue their investigations into the nationwide Salmonella outbreak recently linked to King Nut brand peanut butter, other products containing the implicated peanut butter may also be linked to the outbreak.
Preliminary analysis of an epidemiologic study conducted by CDC and public health officials in multiple states comparing foods eaten by ill and well persons has suggested peanut butter as a likely source. Ongoing investigations suggest that peanut butter-containing products may also be linked with illnesses. To date, no association has been found with common brands of jars of peanut butter sold in retail grocery stores.
An epidemiologic investigation by the Minnesota Department of Health has suggested King Nut creamy peanut butter as a likely source of Salmonella infections among many ill persons in Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture Laboratory isolated the outbreak strain of Salmonella Typhimurium from an open 5-pound container of King Nut brand creamy peanut butter.
Clusters of infections in several states have been reported in schools and other institutions, such as long-term care facilities and hospitals, and King Nut is the only brand of peanut butter used in those facilities for which we have information.
CDC and other public health officials are continuing to conduct surveillance for cases of infection with the outbreak strain, and to gather and analyze data on exposures to peanut butter and peanut butter-containing products that may be associated with illness.
Two very similar DNA fingerprints of Salmonella serotype Typhimurium have been linked to this outbreak. All ill persons reported as part of this outbreak have had laboratory testing that confirmed infection with a strain that had one of the two outbreak DNA fingerprints.

Given the prospects for a rising inflation rate during the course of 2017, higher-yielding shares could become increasingly popular among investors. Certainly, large-cap shares in the FTSE 100 may be the obvious choice in many cases. However, there are also a number of smaller companies that yield 4% or more and that could offer strong capital gains over the medium term.
Monday’s update from UK developer and constructor of multi-occupancy property assets, Watkin Jones (LSE: WJG), showed that it is making encouraging progress with its strategy. It performed in line with expectations during the first six months of the year, with five student accommodation developments sold in the first half of the year. They represented 2,347 beds in total, with a gross development value of £192m.
The company has a further six developments totalling over 1,705 beds under offer. It also has 11,098 targeted beds in its secured pipeline, with 9,390 of these having planning consent. Since the market for purpose-built student accommodation remains buoyant, Watkin Jones is expected to record a rise in its bottom line of 13% next year. Alongside a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 11.4, this indicates that upside potential may be high.
In terms of its dividend potential, Watkin Jones currently yields 4.1% from a dividend which is covered 2.1 times by profit. This indicates that its current payout is sustainable and could even grow at a faster pace than its bottom line. Given the likely rise in demand for strong, sustainable yields, the company could therefore become increasingly popular among investors over the medium term.
The UK housing market continues to perform well despite uncertainty. Housebuilders such as Telford Homes (LSE: TEF) have bright growth prospects, with the company expected to record a rise in its earnings of 35% in the current year and 18% in the next financial year.
While there is scope for a downgrade to its outlook due to the potentially negative impact of Brexit, a wide margin of safety appears to be on offer. Telford Homes trades on a P/E ratio of only 10.1, which indicates there is upward re-rating potential. Certainly, higher inflation could mean demand for housing comes under pressure. The affordability of mortgages may fall if consumer disposable incomes are squeezed as wage growth dips below inflation. However, with a major imbalance between demand and supply, the long-term outlook for the industry appears to be positive.
Telford Homes currently yields 4.5% from a dividend which is covered three times by profit. This shows that even a decline in profit growth would be unlikely to cause a reduction in dividends. Therefore, the company could prove to be a far more resilient income stock than the market currently appears to be pricing-in. As such, now could be the perfect time to buy it for the long term.

Recent market volatility means a lot of top stocks are trading at dirt-cheap prices. There are plenty of penny stocks in particular which appear to have been oversold in recent days and weeks. Small-cap shares like these are often among the first to be sold when market confidence buckles.
I don’t plan to run for cover however. In fact I plan to follow the example of billionaire investor Warren Buffett and go hunting for bargains to buy.
Here are a couple of penny stocks that have caught my attention at current prices. Each has the potential to supercharge my returns in the coming years.
A top retail share
Many UK retail shares have sunk as investors have considered the impact of soaring inflation on their profits. Card Factory (LSE: CARD), for instance, has fallen 12% so far in 2022 in value as concerns of rising costs and falling consumer spending power have grown.
Okay, Card Factory still remains around a fifth more expensive than it was this time last year. But following that recent share price weakness I think it could be considered too cheap for me to miss. At 52.6p per share, the retailer trades on a rock-bottom forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8 times.
I think investors may be making a mistake by heavily selling Card Factory shares. People don’t stop sending cards and celebrating with balloons, poppers and similar party paraphernalia when times get tough. What they do however, is try to buy these items for the cheapest price possible.
In my opinion this means shoppers might shun the likes of more expensive retailers like Clinton Cards and march through value operator Card Factory’s door instead.
I do worry about how Card Factory could fare against the trendier offerings of online-only operators like Moonpig and Thortful. But I believe this threat is more than reflected in this penny stock’s rock-bottom earnings multiple.
Falling into penny stock territory
UK shares with interests in Russia and Eastern Europe have suffered particularly badly in recent days. Take Tritax Eurobox (LSE: EBOX) as an example.
This property stock — which lets out properties in European countries, including Poland — has seen its share price slump to 14-month lows this week. It now sits inside penny stock territory around 99.2p having fallen 16% over the past 12 months.
The situation in the region is truly dreadful, and we all hope it can be resolved soon. But I like Tritax Eurobox’s long-term prospects and think a fall in its share price is worth looking at. I know the current situation could cause demand for big-box property assets to fall in its Central and Eastern Europe territories. But as a long-term investor, I see the advantage of owning Tritax Eurobox shares. I think profits could soar as e-commerce turbocharges the need for warehouse and logistics spaces.
I like the company’s ongoing expansion in fast-growing markets (this week it paid €144.3m to acquire a property in the Netherlands). I think this UK share is particularly good to help me boost my passive income; its forward dividend yield sits at 4.5%.

Manhart boosts BMW M3 Touring to 855 PS because it can
Yamaha to design e-motors for Caterham Project V
The all-electric Caterham Project V that debuted as a concept last year is inching closer to production.
The once-British marque has just announced teaming up with Yamaha in Japan to procure the electric motors and other powertrain internals for its first-ever fully electric sports car. Another Japanese company, Tokyo R&D, agreed to help with calibrating and fine-tuning the car.
The news is hardly surprising if you consider that Japan-based VT-Holding acquired all rights to the Caterham brand three years ago. The company has already begun constructing the first test vehicle, but doesn’t expect to get it on the public roads until mid-2025.

PHOENIX (FOX 10/AP) -- Word of a shooting outside of a Hacienda HealthCare facility in Phoenix spread fast on Monday.
According to the Phoenix Police Department, the shooting happened early Monday morning outside of the healthcare facility near 14th Street and Baseline Road. In a statement, Hacienda officials say the suspect is an employee's ex-spouse who showed up armed around 5:30 a.m. Monday. The shooting happened in a parking lot, and that the suspect never entered any building or had contact with any residents.
According to witnesses, the employee's ex-husband threatened the employee with a gun, and she has a restraining order against him.
"She's a caregiver and she's very good. She's very good," said the mother of a patient at the facility, identified only as "Kim". "It's a very close-knit family here, so when they heard that she was involved -- I guess he was on the property and she pulled up he started bullying her, and I'm not sure what all he did to her but there were gunshots."
Kim arrived at Hacienda ICF, just as police were taping off the crime scene. After she checked on her disabled son, who is a patient, she found out the incident.
"I thought it was a bomb," said Kim. "We had so many bomb threats."
The facility is staffed with off-duty police officers, and officials say the shooting was captured on a security camera. The footage will be turned over to police.
"Horrifying," said Kim. "Horrifying for her and to know she's been going through this. We would've never known it was so severed."
The former couple's three sons came to the scene to support their mother. Employees spent the morning calling family members to personally inform them about the shooting, while caregivers tended to frightened patients.
"They were checking on all the patients because they did hear gunshots and everybody was alarmed," said Kim. "Crying, holding each other and consoling patients that were up."
An off-duty officer shot the suspect, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The off-duty officer that shot the suspect is identified as an eight-year veteran of the Florence Police Department who was hired by Hacienda to provide security. That off-duty officer is currently on paid administrative leave, per standard procedure.
Earlier this year, Hacienda HealthCare garnered global attention, after it was revealed a woman was raped and later gave birth in late 2018. The embattled long-term healthcare facility is now under state supervision.

EL PASO - It's no baloney!
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agricultural specialists seized more than 150 pounds of bologna at the El Paso, Texas entry port this week, officials announced Friday.
CBP says Mexican bologna is a prohibited product due to its pork content. Pork products from overseas could introduce foreign animal diseases to the U.S. pork industry.
The agency said one of its officers stopped a Chevrolet pickup truck with a Texas license plate that had entered the port from Mexico. The officer spotted red rolls in the rear seat of the truck and asked the driver what they contained. The driver said he had frozen rolls of turkey ham.
CBP officers selected the vehicle for a second examination and found the substance to be the contraband deli meat weighing 154 pounds. The hotly contested sandwich filler was seized and destroyed and the driver was released.

"It is important that travelers understand they should declare all items they are transporting from abroad to avoid fines and penalties. A properly declared prohibited item can be abandoned at the port without consequence," said El Paso Port Director Beverly Good.
While anti-terrorism is the primary goal of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the federal agency assumes "the responsibility of protecting America from all threats,” according to the release.

(FoxNews.com) - An Arizona high school has come under fire after denying a cancer survivor’s request to sit with his graduation class Thursday after he worked to keep up with classes through treatment.
Stephen Dwyer withdrew from school in his junior year to receive a life-saving bone marrow transplant for leukemia. Dwyer, who is student body president, is 2 1/2 credits short of graduating at Dobson High School in Mesa and will finish in December.
A Facebook page supporting Dwyer said the teen wanted to sit on the field in a cap and gown alongside his classmates and didn’t even ask to receive a diploma or walk across the stage. After numerous meetings with the district superintendent and school board members, Dwyer’s request was denied.
"This is so black and white to them, they can't even see straight. They are so unwilling to budge and it just is heartbreaking," Jeannie Moore, a family friend of Dwyer’s, told KTVK-TV.

What Powers Does Christmas Tree Light Have?
Christmas tree lights are typically powered by electricity. They are designed to be plugged into a standard electrical outlet and run on low voltage DC current to prevent any safety hazards.
In the past, Christmas tree lights were powered by incandescent bulbs, which are now less common due to their high energy consumption and heat generation. However, modern Christmas tree lights are mostly powered by LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs, which are more energy-efficient, durable, and produce less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs.
Some Christmas tree lights may also be battery-powered or solar-powered, which can be convenient if you don't have easy access to an electrical outlet or want to reduce your carbon footprint. Battery-powered Christmas tree lights typically require AA or AAA batteries, which can be easily replaced when they run out of power.
Overall, Christmas tree lights are designed to be safe, energy-efficient, and easy to use. They add a warm, festive glow to your holiday décor and help create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere in your home.
Some Notes on the Installation of Holiday Decoration Window Light
Sure, here are some general notes on the installation of holiday decoration window lights:
Plan your design: Before you start installing your window lights, plan out your design. Consider the number of lights you need, the shape and size of your windows, and the color of the lights. This will help ensure that your window lights look balanced and attractive.
Clean your windows: Make sure your windows are clean and dry before you begin installing your lights. This will help the lights stick better and prevent any dirt or grime from showing through the lights.
Use adhesive hooks: Adhesive hooks are a great way to hang your window lights without damaging your windows. Make sure to choose hooks that are designed to hold the weight of your lights and follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation.
Secure the cords: Once your lights are hung, make sure to secure the cords to the window frame using zip ties or cable clips. This will prevent the cords from becoming tangled and help keep them in place.
Consider a timer: If you want to save energy and prolong the life of your lights, consider using a timer. This will allow you to set your lights to turn on and off automatically, so you don't have to remember to do it manually.
Be safe: When installing window lights, always prioritize safety. Make sure to use a sturdy ladder or step stool, and never lean out of a window to hang lights. If you're not comfortable with the installation process, consider hiring a professional to do it for you.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your holiday decoration window lights are installed safely and look beautiful.

Uganda Cranes Regional Tour of Western Uganda
Sponsored by Airtel and Nile Special
17th May 2019-Uganda Cranes arrives in Western Uganda
Saturday: 18th May 2019
Match: Western Region Select vs Uganda Cranes
Venue: Bushenyi Main Ground
The Uganda Cranes team that is preparing to take part in the 2019 COSAFA Championship in South Africa embarked on training today at the Star Times stadium Lugogo ahead of a Regional tour match against Western region on Saturday in Bushenyi.

The team will depart for Bushenyi on Friday morning ahead of the Regional Tour game organized by the national team sponsors Airtel and Nile Special. According to Mubiru, the game will help him assess the areas he must put more emphasis before the team flies out a few days later to South Africa for the COSAFA tournament.
“I am happy with the morale and the response of the players I have worked with today,” Mubiru stated. “However, the fitness levels are a bit below the required standards but it is understandable because they are coming from a break after the league ended a fortnight back.”
Mubiru also expressed his pleasure in having Massa, who captained the team to its first AFCON qualification in 2017 after a period of 38 years, saying that his wealth of experience will go a long way in motivating and inspiring the predominantly young side.
“Massa is one of the greatest players in Uganda’s history when you consider his achievements. His presence in the team is a very great factor that is going to immensely build these players. I feel very pleased to be working with him,” added Mubiru.
KCCA FC players were not part of the first training session after being given permission to take part in their club’s league title parade around the capital city in Kampala.

Like it or not, we live in a society in which individuals are judged first by their looks and, only after that, by their intelligence and expertise. If a potential client visits your law firm's website and sees a stiff, unnatural, or just awkward-looking headshot of you posing behind your desk, that person may well choose to click off the page and go in search of better-looking representation. This doesn't make sense—you may be the best, most accomplished lawyer in your particular specialty—but there's no denying the fact that some people are overly sensitive to surface appearances and will make a decision on that basis alone.
What can you do about this? Well, a good start would be to select the best possible headshot for your promotional materials. You don't necessarily have to look like Harry Hamlin or Susan Dey from L.A. Law; in fact, very few lawyers do (and they'd probably make more money in Hollywood than they would in the legal profession). But an experienced photographer will know how to take a headshot that communicates your determination, perseverance, professionalism, and reliability—and that you can use in all sorts of ways, ranging from incorporating it into a YouTube video to using it in a newspaper or magazine ad. If you have a headshot that you're currently dissatisfied with, you can easily replace it with the new photograph.
If you have decided to take a headshot or upgrade an existing one, you need to hire a photographer who can capture you at your best—and has the patience to take hundreds of photographs in the course of an hour or so to guarantee that there will be one perfect shot. Call our headshot experts today at 877-477-7883 to set up a free consultation!

Lenovo is said to be working on more handsets which will see the light of the day in the coming months. Not too long ago, the purported Lenovo Vibe X2 passed through TENAA in China, and now we have some more leaked images of the alleged handset.
The images surfaced from Chinese shores, and shows the Lenovo Vibe X2 in a sort of hands on photo shoot, showing the design of the alleged handset. It seems we’re going to see a metal-clad handset from Lenovo in the coming weeks.
As for its specifications, the report suggests there will be two versions of the alleged handset. One of them will be powered by a MediaTek MT6596M octa-core processor (four Cortex-A17 clocked at 2.0 GHz and four Cortex-A7 cores running at a frequency of 1.5 GHz). The second variant will come with a dual-core 2.2GHz SoC.
The alleged handset will feature a 5-inch display sporting a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels with 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage on board. Other features include 13MP main camera for photos and videos, a 5MP front-facing camera, 2,250 mAh battery and should come with Android 4.4 KitKat as its operating system.
There’s no word from Lenovo about the handset so a grain of salt is recommended. We’ll update you as soon as we get any other information.

Eleven Cambodian surrogate mothers arrested in November (see Surrogacy in Cambodia: fifteen new arrests in Phnom Penh) were released on bail last month “in return for promising not to sell their child”. According to Chou Bun Eng, vice-president of the Cambodian National Committee for Counter Trafficking, “some of them have already given birth,” but all of them have “refused to provide the identity of the people for whom they had carried these children”.
A few months ago, thirty-two surrogate mothers accepted the same agreement (see Cambodia: 32 surrogate mothers released on bail). Surrogacy has been banned in Cambodia since 2016, but a draft law has been under discussion for several months and, pressured by several NGOs that support surrogacy, could reverse the trend. These NGOs consider it “scandalous” that surrogate mothers are arrested and say they are “not prepared” to raise the children they bear, most often for Chinese couples.

Tunnel – Rainbow – Free Wallpaper / Background for phones with FWVGA display (resolution 480 x 854 pixels / 16:9 ratio).
How to change wallpaper on your phone:
If you wish to use a wallpaper or image from the internet, you will need to download it first. You can usually do this by pressing and holding the image until you get a pop-up with the option “Save Photo” or “Save Image”. You will then find it in the Downloads folder in My Files and Gallery. Ensure that you have permission to download or copy any image you download. (The above pic: Tunnel – Rainbow is copyright free.) Note that if you have selected an image that is not the same size as the screen, you have to crop it first. Use your finger to drag the box provided to the section of the image you want to use. Choose where you wish to set it: home screen, lock screen or home and lock screens.
If you wish to use a personal picture or photo, you can do this directly through the Gallery. Open the Gallery (if it’s not available on your home screen, tap Apps first to see all apps). Then select the picture you wish to set as wallpaper. You may need to open a folder first. You can set your own folders in the Gallery but some will be automatically created for you such as Downloads or Whatsapp. Once you are in the image, tap Menu (this may appear as three dots). Tap Set as wallpaper.
Depending on which device you have and its specifications, you may also have the option to choose to set a Live Wallpaper (moving wallpaper), or a Travel Wallpaper (showing a changing selection of travel destination pictures). This will, however, use more battery power than a still picture.
Can dark wallpapers consume less battery power?
If you have an AMOLED screen then yes! No doubt here, pick your wallpaper picture predominantly black. (To find out what type of screen you have, look up characteristics on the manufacturer’s website or on sites dedicated to that matter).

What to Read, Watch, Listen to, & Follow about anti-AAPI Racism
Last updated August 17, 2023
Anti-AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) violence has trended upwards since the start of the pandemic, and exponentially surged in 2021. Our Asian American community, including our students, educators, and members of the Get Schooled team, are experiencing a wide range of emotions- from fear and anxiety, to anger and exhaustion.
Protecting our Asian communities means being a vigilant neighbor and speaking up if you see something that's not right. It means using our voice and platforms to amplify these issues, and challenge inaccurate information or hate speech. It means treating others with respect and kindness.
We encourage you to learn more about how to be an ally to our Asian American community. We’ve compiled a free list of resources to read, watch, listen to, and follow to learn more. Together we can stand up against racism.
*Note - All links below will open in a new window.
Reach out to your local library for their book recommendations (make sure to ask how to access them - many libraries have expanded their online resources during the pandemic). Here are a few recommendations to get you started:
- The Life and Rediscovered Work of the Author of No-No Boy; edited by Frank Abe, Greg Robinson, and Floyd Cheung
- The Sympathizerby Viet Thanh Nguyen
- Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford

My love for porches on an old house is why I took many photos of the upper porch on this farmhouse in Gettysburg.
Sometimes I stood in the same spot and took a wide shot; then I’d zoom in on an area and take several more pictures.
I was taking photos in sets of three of the same shot. I always do this when I am taking photographs that might reveal an anomaly.
Here is a sample of what I saw.

Austenitic (duplex) stainless steel 2507 melting point and density, solid solution and solid state properties
2507 is a ferritic-austenitic (duplex) stainless steel with excellent resistance to pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion and uniform corrosion.
The crack oxidation behavior of 2507 duplex stainless steel was studied, and its mechanism was discussed. Oxidation experiments and characterization analyzes were conducted on the samples using electrochemical methods and SEM analysis methods respectively. The results show that there are differences in the oxidation behavior of cracks in 2507 duplex stainless steel under different temperatures and atmospheres. When the temperature is high, the oxides will form larger pores inside the cracks, leading to crack expansion and deformation.
Tensile strength δb/MPa: 800-1000
Yield strength δ0.2/MPa: ≥550
Elongation δ5/%: ≥25
Hardness (HV): 290
2507 duplex stainless steel is a high-strength, high-corrosion-resistant material that is widely used in marine industry, chemical industry, energy and other fields. However, during use, due to long-term exposure to mechanical stress and environmental atmosphere, cracks in stainless steel will gradually expand and seriously affect the performance of the material. Therefore, the study of crack behavior and exploration of the oxidation mechanism of cracks are crucial to improving the corrosion resistance of materials and extending their service life.
Chemical composition of 2507 stainless steel:
2507 duplex stainless steel was selected as the experimental material and cut into circular samples with a diameter of 10mm. Mechanical stretching method is used to process cracks with a length of 3 mm on the surface. The prepared samples need to be surface cleaned and polished before experiments to ensure that the surface is flat and free of impurities.
After suitable solution treatment of 2507 stainless steel, the microstructure of this steel has an ideal dual-phase structure with an α/γ ratio of approximately 50/50. When the solid solution temperature is above 1050°C, the number of ferrite phases in the steel will increase as the temperature increases. However, due to the high nitrogen content, the phase ratio of the steel will not change significantly below 1300°C. If this steel is not aged at different temperatures (or affected by heat), γ2 will be formed on the α+γ matrix and δ, χ, R, α` intermetallic phases and Cr2N and other oxides will precipitate. Due to the carbon content in the steel Low (generally 0.01%-0.02%), so there are generally no carbides in steel.
In the experiment, the samples were exposed to different atmospheres (such as air, moisture and high temperature and high pressure atmosphere) and tested at different temperatures. Place the sample into an aqueous solution compatible with the electrolyte for electrochemical oxidation experiments. During the experiment, the degree of oxidation and changes in chemical substances on the sample surface were monitored.
Pulp and paper industry, seawater desalination, flue gas purification, heat exchangers, chemical tanker piping systems, seawater systems, etc.
There are differences in the oxidation behavior of cracks in 2507 duplex stainless steel under different temperatures and atmospheres. Under normal temperature and humid atmosphere, oxides are mainly distributed on the crack surface and open pores. When the temperature is high, the oxides will form larger pores within the cracks, leading to crack expansion and deformation. Under high-temperature and high-pressure atmosphere, the compounds formed between oxides and cracks will cause strong crack expansion.

Constructed to house the Imperial Diet of the German Empire, the Reichstag was created as a massive Neo-Renaissance palace, with the Emperor himself's foundation stone in 1884. It opened ten years later but was severely damaged after being set on fire in 1933. In the aftermath of World War II, the building largely fell into disuse, with the German Democratic Republic parliament meeting in East Berlin’s Palast der Republik and the Bundestag parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany meeting in Bonn’s Bundeshaus.
While much of the Reichstag was rebuilt in the 1970s, it wasn’t until Germany's reunification in 1990 that it underwent a full reconstruction. This was led by architect Norman Foster and by 1999, the Reichstag was again the meeting place of the modern Bundestag.
With prior registration, visitors are invited to explore the magnificent Kuppel dome that tops the Reichstag, offering 360-degree views of the Berlin cityscape. From the dome, you can also see the parliament's main debating chamber below, with the sun’s light illuminating the floor.
Complimentary audio guides are available to accompany your tour, offering an insight into the construction of the Reichstag building and the history of the German Bundestag, as well as the sights you can see from the dome. It is available in eleven different languages (including English) and special versions for children and those with disabilities. To the east of the dome is a rooftop restaurant that’s open throughout the day and for evening meals.

Parc Guell is located near the northwestern edge of Barcelona just off the Sant Josep de la Muntanya. You can reach it by taking metro line 3 and getting off at the Lesseps stop and walking. It is open year round from 10am, but closing hours vary with the seasons. Before going, check online if you are planning an afternoon trip. Admission to Parc Guell is free.
Parc Guell was built and designed by Antoni Gaudí, that brilliant architect who left such a large footprint on Barcelona's landscape. He was commissioned by Eusebi Güell in 1900, to design gardens fit for the aristocracy. The idea was to fill Parc Guell with sixty luxury villas that would be available for purchase by Barcelona's richest families. When the park was completed in 1914, the home sales didn't go as planned and Güell's money-making scheme failed. In 1923, Parc Guell became a municipal park owned by the city of Barcelona.
When you visit Parc Guell, the first thing to greet you will be one of Gaudí's iconic dragons, sunning itself on a fountain at the entrance. The entire area is filled with stunning examples of the Art Nouveau style. Many of the surfaces are trencadis, a style created by covering surfaces with pieces of broken ceramics. At the top of Parc Guell is a large square with ample seating that offers a magnificent view of Barcelona. You can also see the house Gaudí lived in while working on the park. It has now been converted into a small museum.

Living is to love him, serving him to know his freedom
Here we are mid-week and we repeat the story from last Sunday! This is Matthew’s second telling of the feeding of the many. Matthew and Mark both include two accounts of the miracle feeding, with minor variations. While Luke and John write of one event like this, John invites us into deeper exploration of the significance of this event by devoting the whole chapter to its telling.This repetition is a story telling technique that implies significance, but it also highlights differences that tell us more about God and God’s generous love. In the first story, the crowd is predominantly Jewish. In the second story, the crowd are predominantly Gentiles. God’s generosity encompasses all.The disciples often fail to comprehend Jesus as the Messiah and therefore God’s presence in human history. Through the repetition of these stories, the narrator also reminds us of our own misunderstanding as we too, endeavour to journey with Jesus into deeper understanding of what being a follower of God means for us and for our world.The stories of the feeding point us to the more encompassing reality of our lives: life for all in God’s generosity. We do need bread; Jesus saw that and he ‘had compassion on the crowd.’ We do need to look after our physical and emotional needs, to eat well, to exercise, receive and give human love, intimacy and friendship. These are vital in human life and an important reminder to live well in pandemic times. But the stories also invited us into a bigger life, one that looks beyond our own wants and need, beyond our tribe into a ‘God view’. From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus points to a fuller life: ‘No one can live by bread alone’ (Matthew 4:4). In reality we are ‘spiritual’ beings, beings-of-God, or, as Genesis has informed us from long ago, we are made ‘in the image of God’, created by God and co-creators with God.We are more than molecules and DNA and we have fundamental needs and desires beyond the basic. We need poetry, music, the arts, and faith. But while we are not mere ‘brutes’ nor are we ‘angels’! Too often self-interest or ego get in our way and distort our moral judgement. We need the practices that help us connect daily to our Creator, the Holy Spirit.The story of the feeding is therefore, inviting us to dig deep, to pause and look to what matters in these current times of stress and uncertainty, and to find hope. This is why in John Chapter 6, Jesus says explicitly, ‘I am the bread of life’!In these stories of God’s generous provision, the gospel writers reveal to us that ‘the secret of our being is not only to live but to have something to live for.’ (The Brothers Karamazov) Jesus invites us to live with and for him and so live into the richness of life with and for others because our whole being is challenged and enlivened by God’s life-giving Spirit. It is this aspect of our faith that challenges and feeds our hearts and minds in this time of COVID.
The words of one of my favourite hymns say it well:‘Living is to love him, serving him to know his freedom.’Living is to love him,serving him to know his freedom.Come along with us to oin the praise of Jesus.Come to Jesus now,Go to live his word rejoicing. Text: Jeff Cothran; Tune: Shibbolet Basadeh (Jewish melody) Fr Don

From Circa Espresso in Parramatta to Harry’s in Bondi, Sydney’s suburbs are brimming with speciality coffee. Now, thanks to Collective Roasting Solutions, you can try some of the newest and best all in one place at a pop-up brew bar in Enmore.
Each week the bar showcases a different coffee as espresso – one week it might be Artificer, the next, Skittle Lane – but it also offers all CRS members’ beans as filter coffee every day. The collective, run by Nawar Adra of Stitch Coffee and Circa’s Aykut Sayan, comprises some of the hottest roasters in the state, including Grace & Taylor, Edition, Neighbourhood and Insta-famous latte artist and roaster Jibbi Little.
The beans are also for sale, the idea behind the brew bar being that you can try before you buy. “The pop-up was created so that you could come and try our members’ coffee,” says Adra. “And if you like it you can purchase it.”
The concise menu, which offers black, white or filter coffee and pastries, will expand later to include baklava affogato, born from a collaboration with Hakiki Turkish Ice Cream down the road.
The next couple of months will also see in-store roasting and cupping sessions, and green beans will hit the shelves, ready for would-be home roasters. “Instead of relying on a roaster to tell you about it, you can experience the whole process: you can choose your own green beans and learn a new trade,” says Adra. “All the green beans will be from my warehouse; we’ll have seasonal blends and single origins from Columbia, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Rwanda and Burundi.”
The brew bar is a welcome addition to Sydney’s coffee scene, providing access to a range of quality coffees and services under one roof, and for the next four months we suggest making a beeline for the smell of roasting coffee beans on Enmore Road.
Collective Roasting Solutions Brew Bar, 177 Enmore Rd, Enmore, NSW, open Tue-Sun 7am-2pm, facebook.com/collectiveroastingsolutions

If you are like 80% of Americans (https://www.thegoodbody.com/back-pain-statistics/), you will experience back pain at some point in your life. And to make matters worse, chronic back pain can prevent you from sleeping and getting the rest you need. That’s why our sleep experts a have put together a guide for purchasing the right mattress to help reduce back pain and help you sleep through the night!
To find the solution to your back pain, it’s important to understand that the human spine is not straight like a stick. In fact, your spine curves in three separate ways to support your head and torso throughout the day. So when it’s time for bed, you want a mattress that is able to support your body in a way that gives your spine a break and reduces tension on your hip, neck and shoulder joints.
Unfortunately, the mattress that completely cures one person may not work at all for another. However, Spine Health suggests that most people with chronic back pain will benefit from a firm or medium-firm mattress because it provides enough support for the natural curves and alignment of the spine. Memory foam is recommended, especially for side sleepers, because it allows the hips and shoulders to sink into the mattress instead of collapsing the spine into itself. Hybrid mattresses are also a good option because they combine the trusted spring support with the benefits of memory foam.
The biggest things to watch out for in old mattresses are springs that stick out or dig into your back and collapsed or uneven sides. These things will cause discomfort and may even be causing your chronic back pain (although only a doctor can confirm this). So if you are using a mattress between 8-10 years old or one with visible signs of damage, it’s time to invest in a new mattress.
Remember, the best way to find the perfect mattress is to try out several different options and figure out which one feels the best for you. Come visit us and explain your concerns to our sleep specialists so they can guide you to the best mattress to meet your comfort and support needs.

Early Detection of Type 1 Diabetes: New Position Paper Published
Experts from the Helmholtz Munich-led Fr1daPlex initiative, the Bavarian Professional Association of Pediatricians (BVKJ), and PaedNetz Bayern e.V. have published a new position paper providing a detailed evaluation of an islet autoantibody screening for the early detection of type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents in Germany. The authors, including Helmholtz Munich scientists Peter Achenbach and Anette-Gabriele Ziegler, discuss the benefits and potential risks of this screening for the general population. The publication is supported by additional Helmholtz Munich scientists, including Martin Hrabě de Angelis, Research Director Helmholtz Munich.
Number of Children with Type 1 Diabetes Increases
More and more children and adolescents in Germany develop type 1 diabetes, the most common autoimmune-induced metabolic disorder in children. Typically, type 1 diabetes is diagnosed at a late timepoint in disease progression. Islet autoantibodies in the blood can serve as biomarkers to detect the autoimmune process early on and long before first symptoms appear. Currently, such screening is offered as part of the Helmholtz Munich-led Fr1da study in Bavaria, Saxony, Lower Saxony, and Hamburg.
Population Based Screening Has Benefits for Individuals
In the position paper, the researchers summarize decades of findings on the early detection of type 1 diabetes:
- Diagnosis at early stage of the disease reduces the occurrence of metabolic derailments and ketoacidosis during the clinical manifestation of type 1 diabetes. This can prevent neurocognitive impairments.
- Early diagnosis is associated with a milder disease progression and improved long-term insulin secretion. This can lead to improved long-term metabolic control and potentially reducing or shortening hospital stays.
- Early detection of type 1 diabetes provides affected families with time to prepare for the disease management, thereby reducing psychological stress at clinical manifestation.
- Additionally, the authors emphasize the relevance of early detection for the application of disease-delaying therapies, such as Teplizumab treatment, which may become available in Germany in the upcoming years. This monoclonal CD3-antibody is currently approved in the USA and can delay the progression of the autoimmune disease by two to three years—provided that type 1 diabetes is detected at an early-stage.
Successful Early Detection Requires Qualified Counseling and Care
The authors also mention potential risks associated with participating in an early detection program. Currently, the exact time point of disease manifestation in a positively screened child cannot be predicted. Knowledge of an early stage, along with regular self-monitoring and doctor visits, could adversely affect the thinking and behavior of parents. Conversely, a negative screening result might lead to a false sense of security, increasing the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis in some children. In light of these considerations, the authors of the position paper stress the importance of qualified counseling and care for participating families.
Researchers Call for Rapid Integration of Early Detection into the German Health Care System
The authors postulate to inform about and offer the early detection of type 1 diabetes within the standard care for children. Key steps for implementing screening in Germany include the training of pediatricians and the expansion of regional capacities for the care of affected children. The position paper highlights the urgency of comprehensive screening to reduce severe metabolic derailments overall and improve the prospects for affected children and their parents.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm in between sizes?
Am I too tall for the floor-length Maxi dress?
Does Henkaa have a plus size collection?
Henkaa's plus size convertible dresses fit individuals sized 14-24. We also believe in equality pricing, which means all dresses of the same design are the same price, regardless of size.
For women sized 12 to 14 with a fuller bust and/or waistline, we do recommend that you consider a Plus size since the straps are longer which allows more flexibility with styling options.
Is there a Henkaa kids/childrens collection?
Please note that depending on the height of your child, and where you desire the length of the dress to fall, you may also want to consider the Sakura Midi, Sakura Maxi, Iris Midi or Iris Maxi. Our Iris Midi Convertible Dress is very popular for school-aged to high school students.
Lastly, body shape will also determine how each dress length drapes on each person's body. The product description on the product pages provide approximate measurements of the garments to help you gauge which length is most suitable for your child.
Can a Henkaa dress be worn while pregnant?
As our convertible dresses and tops are machine washable, you won't have to worry about drying cleaning those inevitable spit ups and spills! As a mom, we realize you have a lot on your plate. Also, our apparel resists wrinkles, so you'll spend less time getting dressed when you also have to take care of the little ones.
Are there "How to Style Convertible Dress" tutorials?
Our best advice is to take your dress out of the package, put it on and play around with it to discover all its possibilities! There is a style for every preference and skill level.
We have the most extensive style video library for convertible dresses available at your fingertips - head on over to our video tutorials library to browse styles or search for the look you're trying to achieve.
What is the best bra & underwear to wear with a Convertible Dress?
As for bottoms, we suggest full coverage underwear, no thongs. Seamless underwear is perfect to wear underneath the dress.
Can alterations be done to the hem of your Convertible Dresses?
If you need to adjust the length of the dress, you can have it hemmed or trimmed cost-effectively with a trusted seamstress.
Sakura and Iris Convertible Dresses have a raw edge and can be easily tailored to your ideal length, with no special machine hemming required — just a straight cut. For Sakura and Iris, we recommend informing your seamstress that these dresses are cut on a bias.
If you're interested in hemming your Sakura or Iris at home, check out our blog post: How to Hem a Henkaa Convertible Infinity Dress
Henkaa's Ivy, Calla, and Viola dresses, as well as the Daffodil convertible overlay dresses have sewn hems that can be altered by a seamstress if needed.
Please note: Different styling techniques, as well as the type of shoes worn, will affect the length of the dress, so please be sure to keep that in mind before making any alterations.
Is there a location where we can go to try on the dresses?
What materials are your products made of?
Do I need to pre-wash my items?
How do I wash my items?
To learn more on how to ensure that your Henkaa convertible dress has a long lifespan visit our Dress Care page.
How do I dry my dress?
How do I stop my items fading?
How do I stop my items stretching?
How do I remove wrinkles from my dress?
How do I fold my dress?
Simply hold the dress by the waistband with the straps facing away from your body, then fold in half towards you (bringing each side seam together at the waist). Now fold/roll the skirt down in 8-10" repeating sections until you reach the end of the skirt. Use the remaining strap length to twist loosely around your bundle and you're off!

We have discussed Land Disposal Restrictions in a few previous posts. One post in particular titled “Why did the EPA Develop LDR Treatment Standards?” serves as an excellent lead in to today’s post. You may remember that when the EPA first designated LDR treatment standards they researched to find the Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BDAT) that would best reduce toxicity or mobility of hazardous components in a material. In finding these Best Demonstrated Available Technologies, however, they encountered another problem.
According to the EPA, the issue arose when it became clear that “the numeric treatment standard applied to an individual hazardous constituent, like benzene, could vary depending on the performance of BDAT on each listed or characteristic wastestream that EPA evaluated. For example, nonwastewater forms of the listed wastes F005 and U019 both require treatment for benzene; however, the treatment standard originally set for benzene in the spent solvent was 3.7 mg/kg, while the standard originally set for unused, discarded benzene was 36 mg/kg.” What this means is that different wastestreams were breaking down to different levels when subjected to the same BDAT. Because of this the standards were all over the board.
To fix that problem and to streamline and simplify the process the EPA studied the array of numeric standards that had been applied to the same hazardous component in different hazardous wastes. They then assigned one numeric value to each component for both its wastewater and nonwastewaters forms based on the aforementioned range of numbers. You can find a consolidated list of these numbers in 40 CFR §268.48.
After developing these Universal Treatment Standards (UTS), the EPA used the values assigned to hazardous constituents to adjust numeric levels found in the treatment standards table in §268.40. Doing so did not change the hazardous components that waste handlers have to treat in a particular waste; it simply amended the numeric standards. The result was that a component found in several different wastestreams now has the same numeric treatment level regardless of what the waste was part of. The EPA continues its example concerning benzene by explaining that after developing UTS, “the treatment standards found in §268.40 for F005 and U019 nonwastewaters…continue to address benzene, but EPA has adjusted the level for each to 10 mg/kg.”
This process helped the EPA not only because it streamlined existing treatment standards but also because it served as a stepping off point for wastes that would be identified or listed in the future. “When a new waste contains hazardous constituents that EPA has already addressed in UTS, the Agency [can] apply the existing BDAT-based numeric standards for those particular constituents.” Similarly, if a new waste component is discovered it can be added to the UTS list.
All information for this blog post was gathered from the EPA document, “Introduction to Land Disposal Restrictions.” As always, this blog post is not intended to be comprehensive and it is always best to check with the EPA and local government for full, up-to-date, rules and regulations.

We like our school uniform to reflect our school identity, and be suitable for a very busy school day!
We've done our best to make sure the uniform is practical and good value for money. It's lovely to see all our children looking very smart when they head into school on a morning! For our nursery children, uniform is optional, but we do find that most children like to wear the school sweatshirt or cardigan.
Our uniform is based on a bottle green sweatshirt or cardigan with a white polo shirt. PE kit includes black shorts / leggings / joggers with a white t-shirt. It is not required that the children's uniform includes the school logo, but items with the school logo are available from:
BE Uniforms, 11 West Tower Street, Carlisle, CA3 8QT
This shop also stocks a wider range of general school uniform. We do also have lots of pre-loved items available which can be requested from the school office.
Trousers, dresses, skirts or shorts: we ask that any trousers, skirts or shorts are plain grey (this is the most popular colour) or black, and they can be purchased from any shop. Green gingham dresses are also welcome, particularly in the warm weather.
We do ask that children do not wear sports type trousers with obvious logos or patterns on them.
Shoes: We also ask that children wear sensible black school shoes. We like to spend a lot of time outdoors when we can, so shoes should be suitable for in and outdoor use. Children are also welcome to leave a pair of wellies in school for outdoor activities.
Our school uniform policy contains more detailed information about the expectations in school.

I`m facing issue with resize of the task. When min(start) value not showed but max(end) is visible It not show the circles to adjust max(end) date.
Here is Input and output of chat ai.
So is it how gantt work?
1) If min value showed but max is not visible we display the resize point for min(start) of the task
2) If min value showed and max is visible we display the resize points for both min(start) and max(end) of the task
3) If min value not showed but max is visible we do not display the resize points for max(end) of the task
Your understanding of how resizing works in a Gantt chart is generally correct, but let me clarify it a bit further:
If the start (min) value is visible but the end (max) value is not visible, the resize handle for the start point will be displayed, allowing users to resize the task from the start.
If both the start (min) and end (max) values are visible, the resize handles for both the start and end points will be displayed, allowing users to adjust the task length from either end.
If the start (min) value is not visible but the end (max) value is visible, the resize handle for the end point will not be displayed, preventing users from resizing the task from that end.
This behavior is intended to help users interact with tasks more easily based on their visibility within the chart's current view. If this behavior does not meet your needs or if you believe it should work differently, it might be worth reaching out to support for further assistance or to discuss potential workarounds.
Is it a bug or am I configured something not propperly as I think it should give user possibility to adjust max(end) of the task when the min(start) is not showed?

The daily disappearance of the sun
Well, isn't that what happened to man, more or less?
Don't we imagine that nature talks to us? Don't we think we catch some meaning in her mysterious whispering---an answer, which we interpret in accord with our yearnings to the many earnest questions we put to her? And Nature, meantime, in her infinite grandeur, has not the remotest consciousness even that we exist.

For some families their rituals are passed down through the generations, and others create their own rituals.
When you think about your own family, what rituals did you have or do you have now? Perhaps you observe spiritual or religious festivals like Christmas, Yule or Ramadan. You could celebrate birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, the footy grand final or whatever works for your family in a special way. You may have daily rituals such as dinner together or bed time stories. All of these rituals create meaning and opportunity for closeness with your family.
If you are wanting to create more connection or strengthen the bond your family shares, we encourage you to consider exploring family rituals.
Here are some ideas you might like to try;
Family dinners - consider having a set meal on one for the days of the week. For example, taco Tuesday or pancakes on Sunday mornings.
Build a fire and roast marshmallows on the first day of winter.
Plan a regular family game night. This could be board games or even visit a panic room.
Family hikes or bike rides.
Support a charity or volunteer together.
Welcoming the first day of summer by visiting your favorite beach.
Getting up early to watch the sunrise on a date that is special to you.
We hope this gives you some ideas on how simple it can be to create family rituals and also reminds you how important it is to create positive and bonding memories as a family.

Who is Dynus Saxon? Popular Vogue model arrested for stabbing man to death in Bronx apartment complex
Dynus Saxon, 20, has been charged with murder, manslaughter and weapon possession in connection to 35-year-old Kadeem Grant’s death.
A Vogue model has been arrested for allegedly stabbing a man to death in a Bronx apartment complex. Dynus Saxon, 20, who featured in Vogue, has been charged with murder, manslaughter and weapon possession in connection to 35-year-old Kadeem Grant’s death, according to DailyMail.com.
A neighbour told the New York Daily News that on Sunday, November 10, she overheard a struggle in the hallway. "I heard them fighting. No words, just (banging) in the hallway. It was fast. It wasn't like they was fighting for a long time," she said.
The neighbour called 911. However, she was too late, and the victim died in the hospital.
Grant, the father of a three-year-old girl, reportedly lived in Brooklyn. He was visiting a friend at the time of his murder, his father Christopher Grant said. "He was just a loving kid who was there for his family and his daughter. It's just so sad that she has to grow up without a father," Christopher said.
Christopher is now dealing with the grief of losing his son. "He cared for people, looking after his grandma because most of us are not there in New York," he said. "Kadeem was a kid, you need him and he was there for you."
"I'm still trying to process it. Until I see him I won't believe it," he added.
Following Saxon’s arrest on Monday, November 11, he was hospitalised. His mother said she did not know Grant, and believes there is more to the story than what has come to light.
"I don't know what happened, but I can tell y'all based on what I do know that it's not going to be as simple as you want to make it. Dynus didn't just decide to murder somebody,” the mother said, adding that her son does not remember what happened but would hurt someone only to protect himself.
"Dynus will protect himself, he's a human being, you know what I'm saying. He's young. I don't know what kind of situation he had got himself into," she said. "He'll dance, he'll have fun under some circumstances. But, you know, he's really not an aggressor."
"Whatever happened it was not murder," she added.
Who is Dynus Saxon?
Saxon appeared in Vogue Italia, and ad campaigns for Levi's, Calvin Klein and JD Sports. He was also seen on the red carpet for the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine and The Batman.
Saxon’s mother said he had not booked any work for nearly 6 months. She said her son would walk around the city and skateboard when free.

This paper circulates around the core theme of define relying on your personal interactions? together with its essential aspects. It has been reviewed and purchased by the majority of students thus, this paper is rated 4.8 out of 5 points by the students. In addition to this, the price of this paper commences from £ 99. To get this paper written from the scratch, order this assignment now. 100% confidential, 100% plagiarism-free.
The subject of this week’s Apply assignment is related to conformity, which we covered in week 1. However, we wanted to wait until the second week to introduce the Living Lab. During this course, you will be given the opportunity to engage in a series of living experiments. In other words, rather than reading about an experiment, we will be relying on your personal interactions to help you personally experience topics discussed in your text.These experiences can be incredibly enriching, since you will see the concepts we are discussing come to life right before your eyes. To make these labs work, keep in mind that you should try and keep your activities private, since telling people what you are doing can bias your experience.In order to complete this first lab, you need to choose a “Day of Non-Conformity”. On this day, you will attempt to live out an entire day in which none of your actions are dictated or decided by the social norms expressed by your cultural environment. Your actions should not be influenced by your desire to be accepted in a group, to be perceived in a certain way, or to be liked. The essence of this lab is to discover and act upon your true self, not the self you try to be (unless, of course, that is your true self).Be sure to evaluate every activity you participate in. Ask why you do the things you do, the way you do. Are your actions a reflection of conformity? If so, try to discover your own authentic belief. Don’t dismiss why you are watching a certain show or sitting at a certain table. Analyze everything. Move beyond simply avoiding the obvious conformist things you do and go for deep authenticity. At the same time, be careful that you don’t go too far and actually conform to nonconformity. The goal is to be authentic, not necessarily different.What might non-conformity look like? Well, think about those things you simply do because everyone else does or because you believe that is what is expected of you. Stand at work (instead of sitting), try wearing non-matching colors, eat dinner for breakfast and vice-versa, sit at a different table, sleep on the other side of the bed, talk to people in the elevator, skip down the hallway I think you are getting the point. Non-conformity is about breaking the rules of convention. It is the act of going against the flow, when the flow is simply the product of habit, tradition, or blind following.Caution: Sometime you may need to step out of the requirements of the lab for your own safety please act responsibly. Oh by the way, not doing this assignment does not count for an act of non-conformity!You will submit a 2-page, APA reaction paper. Some points to consider:When preparing for the Living Lab, how did you mentally define conformity/non-conformity?

A birth certificate is a legal document; changing the name on a birth certificate is not an easy thing to do. DNA paternity testing might help depending on the particular circumstances. But let’s begin with some basic information which is vital for anyone to know when it comes to the issue here being discussed.
Who can make changes to the Child’s birth Certificate?
The laws are quite strict in this case; a parents or legal guarding- these are the only people who can make changes. Forenames as, so to speak, are the easiest to change. The forenames must have been names used within the first 12 months and not any name may be added- only baptismal names. There are other examples in which parents might wish to change the child’s first name.
Changing the Surname of a Child on the Birth Certificate
The marital status is important under UK Law. The mother has the option of leaving the father’s name blank on the birth certificate. This is often the case when parents are not married. The mother may genuinely not know who the father of her child is. If she does wish to register a father’s name, that man has to attend the registration process and consent to his name being put on the birth certificate. Any father who goes ahead with having his name listed on the child’s birth certificate must bear in mind that changing the name on the certificate should there be doubts regarding the issue of paternity is very difficult.
If Parents are married, it is taken as automatic that the biological father is the husband of the woman. If the father or mother has any doubts, things get complicated. They will need a paternity DNA test to get the name changed on the child’s birth certificate. In most cases you will need a legal paternity test for this- in other words the paternity testing will have to follow certain procedures to ensure the validity of the results. In the UK, there is the Human Tissue Act- anybody cannot collect DNA samples from another person with the intent of having a DNA test without informing that person that their samples have been taken and what they will be used for.
Sometimes fathers want to have their surnames put down on the birth certificate. In some cases, the mother may voice her doubts and not allow this. A court ordered paternity test or a paternity test for legal purposes can help. In some instances, the judge can refute the results of the test, even if it shows that the tested man is the biological father; this can happen in cases in which the father is deemed unfit to be a father. In other cases, if the father has had regular contact with the child for a period of time, the judge may choose to ignore the results of test and allow for the tested man to have his name on the child’s birth certificate even if he is not the biological father.
Again, if you are thinking of changing a name on a birth certificate, paternity DNA testing will help but may not necessarily be the solution. Always seek advice from a legal professional.
Paternity rights are a big issue at the moment. Unsurprisingly, most dad’s have paternity rights which they are not aware of, perhaps, because paternity rights have only recently emerged. Click here for more information.

Trapping furbearing animals was once a full-time occupation. Today, regulated trapping is an important tool for managing our nation's natural resources.
- Trapping helps control animal populations by minimizing starvation, reducing spread of disease, and controlling habitat damage or destruction.
- Trapping helps protect personal property by preventing or decreasing:
- Flooding caused by beaver dams
- Damage to homes, trees, gardens, and agricultural crops
- Killing of livestock or pets
- Trapping protects certain endangered or threatened species from predatory furbearers.
Trapper’s Code of Ethics
When used properly, trapping can be an alternative method to hunting for harvesting furbearers and an effective tool for wildlife management. Trappers should learn about the type of traps appropriate for the animal they're seeking and follow the trapper's code of ethics:
- Obtain the landowner's permission.
- Avoid setting traps in areas where domestic animals may be caught.
- Set traps to capture the target animal in the most humane way possible.
- Check traps at least once every 24 hours, preferably in the early morning.
- Record trap locations accurately.
- Identify all traps with waterproof name and address tags.
- Use as much of the animal as possible. Dispose of animal carcasses properly.
- Make an effort to trap only the surplus animals from each habitat.
- Assist landowners who are having damage problems with wildlife.
- Dispatch trapped furbearers in a humane manner.
- Obtain all required licenses, tags, and permits. Because trapping laws vary by state, check the state's regulations before you go trapping.
Types of Traps
Traps can be set either on land or in or near the water. Some types of traps are designed to kill the trapped animal, and others are designed to capture the animal alive and unharmed (live-restraining devices).
- The most common type of killing devices are bodygrip traps.
- Live-restraining devices include foothold traps, enclosed foothold devices, cage traps, and some types of cable devices. With these traps, you are able to release non-target animals.
- Some furbearers are found more often in or near water. For these animals, trappers use submersion trapping systems, which hold the animal underwater until it dies.

One to Remember! The 26th World Congress of IACAPAP in Brazil
By Guilherme V. Polanczyk, MD, PhD
Congress Chair and Associate Professor of Child and Adolescent PsychiatryUniversity of São Paulo Medical School
For the first time in the history of our association, the 26th World Congress of the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions was held in South America, hosted by the vibrant and culturally rich city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This historic event marked a significant milestone in our efforts in sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and advancing our understanding of mental health problems faced by young people worldwide. The success of this congress was made possible through the collaborative effort of colleagues from across Brazil and Latin America.
Highlight Video of the IACAPAP Congress 2024 Rio
The congress commenced with an inspiring opening ceremony that set the tone for the meeting, combining science and culture. Miguelzinho do Cavaco, a 13-year-old boy played Brazilian classics including "Girl from Ipanema,"Aquele Abraço," and "O que é, o que é?”—songs that captured the spirit and cultural richness of Brazil.
The ceremony featured the compelling opening address by Tom Osborn titled "Decolonizing the Mind," which explored the critical theme of addressing and dismantling the lingering effects of colonialism on mental health practices and perspectives. After the ceremony, delegates were delighted by a vibrant performance from Mangueira do Amanhã, the youth wing of the famed Mangueira Samba School. Their lively show added an energetic and culturally rich backdrop, celebrating the local heritage and bringing the flavors of Brazilian carnival to the event.
Congress Opening Speech by Dr Guilherme V.Polanczyk, the Congress Chair of the IACAPAP Congress 2024 Rio
Congress delegates attended the Opening Ceremony of the Congress
The congress took place in the stunning neighborhood of Barra da Tijuca, right in front of the sea. The picturesque setting provided delegates with breathtaking ocean views. The warmth and hospitality of the local people added to the welcoming atmosphere, making participants feel at home and enhancing the overall experience. Throughout the congress, various critical themes were explored, featuring insightful keynote conferences. New formats for activities were organized: debates, grand round, and a scientific arena. A significant feature of the program was the wealth of symposiums submitted by delegates, showcasing the diverse research and clinical advancements from around the world. These symposiums provided a platform for professionals to present their work and engage in rich, collaborative discussions. Delegates also had the opportunity to present their work in dedicated poster sessions and oral communication sessions. These sessions allowed for dynamic exchange of ideas, fostering an environment where innovative research and effective practices could be shared and discussed by a senior colleague and peers.
In addition to the academic sessions, the congress included networking events and social activities, fostering connections between professionals from different regions. This edition marked the 20th year of the Donald J Cohen Fellowship Program (DJCFP). The program plays a critical role in nurturing the new generation of mental health professionals dedicated to children and adolescents. Hundreds of colleagues have experienced the program as mentors and fellows, and all the DJCFP community met and celebrated this important milestone in Rio de Janeiro.
The success of this congress would not have been possible without the extensive efforts and support from countries across Latin America. Their contributions were pivotal in organizing and promoting the event, ensuring wide participation and representation. The dedication and collaboration of Latin American professionals underscored the region’s commitment to advancing child and adolescent mental health.
The congress concluded with a strong sense of accomplishment and a shared commitment to the mission of IACAPAP - improving mental health of children and adolescents wordwide. The discussions and networks formed during the congress are set to influence future directions in the field. The 26th World Congress of IACAPAP in South America was a resounding success, reflecting the collective efforts of all involved. We extend our deepest gratitude to the speakers, attendees, sponsors and the PCO CCM for making this event possible. We look forward to continuing this journey of collaboration and learning and to meeting the IACAPAP community in Hamburg!

Nayanthara's newly-released movie Imaikkaa Nodigal has been hit by piracy. A day after the movie was released in theatres, the full movie with different qualities has hit the torrent sites, which let the users download the film for free!
Imaikkaa Nodigal is a crime thriller which marks the debut of Bollywood filmmaker-actor Anurag Kashyap. The movie has won superb reviews from the critics and audience. It has shown the signs of becoming one more hit in Nayanthara's career.
Apart from Nayan and Anurag, Atharvaa and Raashi Khanna are in pivotal roles with Vijay Sethupathi doing a cameo in the film, directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu.
The trade experts were predicting the movie to do well, given the good response that the flick has garnered. Now, it has to be seen how the flick will perform as the film is hit by piracy.
The movie with different qualities made it to the internet after the matinee shows.
Ironically, Vishal has been fighting hard to end the piracy. He has tried to bring a lot of changes, but it seems like nothing is working in favour of the film industry.
Although the film industry and the central government's Department of Telecommunications have severe measures in place to curb such malpractices, movies are making their way to the Internet some way or the other.

A report by ICE Asset Management group and the Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC) that introduces the concept of smart infrastructure and intelligent assets.
This introduction to smart infrastructure brings together a number of recent ICE publications covering this subject and shows how civil engineers can enable its underlying assets.
It explains what it means in practical terms along with examples of this being used in infrastructure asset management to gain efficiencies and reduce waste.
It proposes a maturity model to guide smart asset development, to help time-poor managers to select then use these technologies on projects.
The report is for those using data to improve asset management (either in construction or operation), to save time and money and increase the value of the asset.
