The death of a 69 year old man who fell into the River Wear after he collapsed from a medical condition over the weekend has revived student cries for more stringent river safety measures.
Bill Grant, a member of Durham Amateur Rowing Club, died after suffering a suspected medical condition whilst coaching.
Although there is little evidence at present that the cold river conditions or exposure to the water caused the man’s death or even exacerbated his condition, it is clear that many students are jumping to this conclusion.
In turn, many are returning their focus to the issue of river safety, especially in light of the fact that Mr Grant was not intoxicated, in efforts to move authorities away from the perceived ‘victim blaming’.
Evan Penn, a first year, urged that the death showed that ‘[the Durham community] needs the river barriers’.
His thoughts were echoed by Milo Reddaway, who hoped that this death would ‘remind the police that trading harsh words about students isn’t helping anyone and that they should put more effort into making the riverside safer’.
Although most students are keen on additional river safety measures, two students from University College who wished to remain anonymous stressed the impracticality of constructing barriers around the entire river. Rather, they spoke in favour of putting up gates at strategic locations around the Bailey.
The death of Mr Grant, who was pronounced dead at the scene, comes just five weeks after the discovery of Euan Coulthard’s body in the river, following his disappearance on a night out.
A post-mortem is due to take place later this week.

President Bola Tinubu has suspended Godwin Emefiele as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The office of the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) announced his suspension.
Willie Bassey, director of information, SGF office, in a statement issued on Friday, said the suspension is with immediate effect.
According to the statement, Emefiele is to transfer his responsibilities to the deputy governor, operations directorate.
Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi, the deputy governor, is expected to act as the CBN governor pending the conclusion of an investigation of Emefiele’s office.
“This is sequel to the ongoing investigation of his office and the planned reforms in the financial sector of the economy,” the statement reads.
“Mr Emefiele has been directed to immediately hand over the affairs of his office to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), who will act as the Central Bank Governor pending the conclusion of investigation and the reforms.”
Emefiele was one of the top officials who met with Tinubu on his first day in office as president.
During his inaugural speech, Tinubu said the current 18.5 percent interest rate of the CBN is “too high”.
Tinubu said it needed to be adjusted downwards to encourage investment.
He described the interest rate as “anti-people” and “anti-business”.
“Monetary policy needs thorough house cleaning. The Central Bank must work towards a unified exchange rate. This will direct funds away from arbitrage into meaningful investment in the plant, equipment and jobs that power the real economy,” Tinubu said.
“Interest rates need to be reduced to increase investment and consumer purchasing in ways that sustain the economy at a higher level.”
The president also said his administration will review the naira redesign policy.
In the build-up to the last general election, members of Tinubu’s party — the All Progressives Congress (APC) — accused Emefiele of using the policy to hurt the chances of the president in the poll.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) criticizes what he perceives as a two-tiered justice system in handling classified documents, suggesting a double standard in the treatment of former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.
During an interview with Fox News on Feb. 11, Mr. Cotton discussed the investigation into President Biden’s handling of classified documents, as outlined in Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report, with host Shannon Bream, raising concerns about the president’s mental acuity.
“There’s no new bombshells about President Biden. The American people have seen for years that he is a man with a failing memory,” Mr. Cotton said.
“What this report indicates, though, is that you have a blatant double standard. If Joe Biden is not going to face criminal charges, Donald Trump shouldn’t be facing criminal charges either,” Mr. Cotton noted.
The special counsel’s report described President Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” The report also referred to the president’s mental fitness as “hazy,” “significantly limited,” and showed signs of “diminished faculties and faulty memory.”
The senator questioned the solidity of the special counsel’s justification not to charge President Biden due to his “poor memory,” arguing that “President Biden’s memory is failing not just now but seven years ago.”
In the interview, Mr. Cotton emphasized that the report indicates President Biden deliberately held classified material and shared it with his ghostwriter. “That’s clear. That’s exactly what Donald Trump has been charged with,” Mr. Cotton said.
Call to Drop Trump’s Case
After it was revealed that President Joe Biden had willfully retained sensitive national security materials but would face no charges, President Trump released a statement, saying, “This has now proven to be a two-tiered system of justice and unconstitutional selective prosecution.”“The Biden Documents Case is 100 times different and more severe than mine. I did nothing wrong, and I cooperated far more.
“What Biden did is outrageously criminal. He had 50 years of documents, 50 times more than I had, and ”WILLFULLY RETAINED“ them. I was covered by the Presidential Records Act,” the 45th president said.
“Jack Smith should drop this Case immediately. ELECTION INTERFERENCE,” he wrote.
Unlike President Trump, who faces multiple charges related to sensitive documents he kept at his Florida home, President Biden has not been charged with any crimes.
The documents President Biden retained include classified materials related to military and foreign policy in Afghanistan and notebooks with handwritten notes about national security that implicated sensitive intelligence sources and methods, according to Mr. Hur’s report.
There were mixed reactions in Congress to the report and Mr.Hur’s decision not to charge President Biden. Republicans echoed President Trump’s claims of a two-tiered justice system, while Democrats came out in support of President Biden.

The Revolver X4, when closed, includes heavy-duty aluminum slats that secure the cover the full length of the truck bed on both sides, providing unrivaled strength and security.
The fabric topping — a polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) needlepunch nonwoven substrate — provides maximum durability.
It even looks good, featuring cabrio-grain embossing that gives the tonneau cover a beautiful pebble finish.
“The embossing for this material is a specialty of ours, and we employed it along with a low-lustre topcoat system to achieve the desired aesthetics, making it truly unique for BAK Industries,” said Gordon Goodwin of Haartz. “Also unique to the Revolver X4 are the matte finish rails and seals, for a finished OEM look.”
We’re excited by the new tonneau system, but not at all surprised. It makes sense that BAK Industries, an innovator of truck bed covers, would partner with Haartz, the world’s leading manufacturer of convertible toppings and interior surface materials, to create this awesome system.
In fact, Haartz has been manufacturing tonneau fabric for more than 45 years and continues to enjoy a leading position in the tonneau fabrics market. Its products are used by major automakers and aftermarket tonneau system suppliers all over the world.

Theme Park Overload had the opportunity to visit Golfland SunSplash in Roseville, CA to check on construction of their new "Riptide" Water Slide! We had the opportunity of talking with Golfland's Head of Water Park Operations to learn many details on this nearly completed Water Slide for 2015!
The new tower is located right at the park entrance, and is in full view for all park guests to see. Because of its more remote location from the main Water Park tower, an isolated splashdown pool at the bottom will not flow into the centralized "Lazy River" like a lot of the other park's slides.
Those curious on the stats of "Riptide" can get their fix while observing construction. The height of the tower is 72.74', but the actual slide is 62.63' with a length of 406.5'. "Riptide" will be the tallest Slide in the park when open.
The slide model is a Tornado Wave from manufacturer ProSlide, and is a relatively new slide design to American Water Parks. A similar version I've ridden at Wet 'n' Wild Las Vegas was fantastic, and much more thrilling than meets the eye,
Here the park's Skyline can be seen from the 80. I was told that the new tower built for "Riptide" was designed to allow another slide to be built on the right side from the existing tower, meaning SunSplash will be in the green for Future Expansion in the years to come.
Riptide's original Opening Date was tentatively set for 4th of July weekend, but a combination of Permits from the City and the hassle of constructing a New Slide during the active operation of a compact Water Park has led to minor delays. The new target date has been set for the second or third week of July. If all goes well, "Riptide" should welcome its first riders around July 18!
That's all for now from Theme Park Overload! Make sure to "Like" our Facebook page to get the Latest Updates on Riptide's construction progress and more from the site! www.Facebook.com/ThemeParkOverload My name's Nicholous, and Thanks for Reading!

Drag Race legend Stacy Layne Matthews asks fans for help as she faces eviction
RuPaul’s Drag Race icon Stacy Layne Matthews opened up about facing possible eviction as the federal moratorium lifted.
The season three contestant turned to her fans for help as a moratorium on evictions lifted, sharing how “scary” it felt to be facing housing issues.
“I haven’t said much about my situation but here it goes,” she wrote on Instagram on Sunday (1 August).
“I know everyone is struggling. Trust me I have helped many people get through tough times… I thought I had done enough to stay where I am currently living by myself in a one-bedroom apartment, but obviously I haven’t. I been given a week to figure it out or go to court and explain why I’m behind.
“I’ve never been evicted. It’s a scary situation.”
View this post on Instagram
After Matthews, and countless others, spoke out about their plight, the Biden administration on Tuesday (3 August) imposed a new 60-day federal moratorium on evictions in areas seized by the Delta variant in a move to protect hundreds of thousands of at-risk renters.
It came after a rebellion was waged by Democratic lawmakers furious that the White House let the previous eviction ban expire on Saturday (31 July), plunging countless renters into uncertainty.
Stacy Layne Matthews: ‘If I didn’t need help I surely wouldn’t ask’
Stacy Layne Matthews continued: “I know many may judge me for this post and that’s OK.
“Everyone is allowed to feel however they want. Just know if I didn’t need help I surely wouldn’t ask,” she said, sharing links to her accounts on the mobile payment service Cash App and Venmo.
“Please refrain from negative comments and bad energy…. Trust me I have beat myself up about this more than you will ever know.
“I love you. Thank you to those who believe in me enough to get back to where I was. I haven’t smiled in such a long time. Much love. Miss Henny!!!!”
The moratorium was first put in place 10 months ago to shield renters from the economic crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. A wrench was thrown into plans to continue it when the Supreme Court ruled it could only be extended through legislation.
Moderate lawmakers remained hesitant to protect the 10 million tenants potentially facing eviction, dooming efforts in the House of Representatives to extend it, The New York Times reported.
Progressive Democrats, meanwhile, staged a high-decibel protest to amp up the pressure for Capitol Hill to take action while Biden urged state and local government to disburse federal aid as a safeguard.
A workaround – and a sigh of relief for many – came after the Center for Disease Control and Prevention moved to extend the eviction freeze.
The new order temporarily halting evictions would be placed in counties “with heightened levels of community transmission in order to respond to recent, unexpected developments in the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the rise of the Delta variant”, the agency announced in a statement.
This will protect an estimated 90 per cent of American renters until 3 October.

Individually numbered, and signed by Mika Hakkinen, Ron Dennis & Juan Carlos Ferrigno
Mika Hakkinen leads Jacques Villeneuve and David Coulthard in an exciting climax to the Grand Prix of Europe at Jerez on 6th October 1997, driving his McLaren Mercedes MP4/12 to victory. David Coulthard finished second and Jacques Villeneuve third to clinch the World Championship Title. The McLaren team had come full circle after winning the first and final Grand Prix of the 1997 Formula 1 season.
Taken from an original painted by Juan Carlos Ferrigno, this commemorative limited edition of 500 prints was published by Grand Prix Sportique Limited. The print is as new, in superb condition and has never been framed.
23 x 19.5 ins (58.42 x 49.53 cms) rolled for worldwide delivery.
Hope for Tomorrow
Forming part of her private collection, this print is integral to the estate of the late Christine Mills MBE, who in partnership with her late husband David, forged a successful career within motorsport spanning more than thirty years. Following David’s untimely death from cancer in 2002, Christine established Hope for Tomorrow, a Gloucestershire based charity dedicated to bringing cancer care closer to the homes of patients throughout England.
With charity patron Sir Stirling Moss OBE by her side to ‘cut the ribbon’, Christine launched the world’s first Mobile Cancer Care Unit on 14 February 2007. Cancer patients are by the very definition and nature of the disease from which they suffer, perpetually vulnerable and never has the provision of mobile treatment on board what is now a fleet of 13 units, each funded and supplied to NHS Trusts by the charity, been of greater importance than it is today.
In support of the charity’s pioneering work, all monies generated from the sale of this print, will be donated to Hope for Tomorrow.

Recently we did an article about Sachin Tendulkar vs Brian Lara Stats and Comparison and today it’s the turn of 2 of the fastest bowlers ever to go up against each other and see who is the better of the 2. These 2 are the ones who made bowling fast cool and they instilled fear in the eyes of the batter consistently bowling at over 150 km h and even touching the 160 kmh mark. Both of them were different but one thing was common, bowl fast and take lots of wickets.
The fact that both Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee played in the same era is staggering as the batters had to contend with both of them when they either played against Australia or Pakistan. Although Brett Lee has got more wickets than Shoaib Akhtar, the Rawalpindi Express is faster than Brett. So, let’s compare the two fastest bowlers of all time.
Shoaib Akhtar – Test Cricket
In Test Cricket it has to be said that Shoaib Akhtar was not able to fully realize his potential and play a number of test matches for Pakistan. Still, he played 46 Test Matches for Pakistan in his career and he took 178 Test Wickets at an average of 25.70 and he took 12 Five wicket hauls and 2 times he took 10 Wickets in an innings. If he had Played close to 100 Test Matches he would have had more than 400 test wickets. Shoaib Akhtar Played test cricket from 1997-2007 averaging 4 test matches a year.
Shoaib Akhtar Record vs Team in Test Cricket:
Shoaib Akhtar Record in Home and Away Tests:
Brett Lee – Test Cricket
The same however cannot be said for Brett Lee because he is a legend even in Test cricket for Australia and unlike Shoaib, he played a lot more test matches for Australia and took a lot of Wickets in the process. Brett Lee played test cricket from 1999-2008 and in 9 Years he played 76 test matches averaging more than 8 per year. He took 310 Test wickets during his illustrious career at an average of 30.62 and he had 10 Five wicket hauls. If we compare the 2 in year cricket then it has to be said that Brett Lee had the better career playing more test matches and picking more wickets but Shoaib had more 5 wicket hauls and had a better average.
Brett Lee Record vs Team in Test Cricket:
Brett Lee Record in Home and Away Tests:
Shoaib Akhtar – ODI Cricket
Shoaib Akhtar Played ODI cricket the most and it has to be said that he in this format used his abilities to his maximum and got a lot I’d success. He played ODI cricket from 1998 -2011 and in those 13 years he played 163 ODI Matches and he took 247 ODI wickets at a very good average of 24.98 with 4 Five wicket hauls in his career. He was an ODI legend for Pakistan Cricket.
Shoaib Akhtar Record vs Team in ODIs:
Shoaib Akhtar Record in Home and Away ODIs:
Brett Lee – ODI Cricket
Brett Lee here as well played more ODIs than Shoaib and he has almost 140 more wickets than him. He played ODI cricket from 2000-2012 and in those 12 years he played 221 ODIs and he took a total of 380 wickets at a great average of 23.38 and had 9 Five wicket hauls In his career. Here Brett Lee had a better average, took more wickets and had more 5 wicket hauls to his name. In ODIs Brett Lee is a better fast bowler than Shoaib Akhtar.
Brett Lee Record vs Team in ODIs:
Brett Lee Record in Home and Away ODIs:
In my opinion Shoaib Akhtar was a rare species that only comes once in a lifetime and he was not able to do full justice to his abilities, he did very well but he could have achieved so much more. On the other hand Brett Lee is a true legend of the game with over 300 wickets in both formats and one of the bowlers who the world feared. In my opinion performance wise in this battle Brett Lee was the winner.

Attempting to reach any of the points listed in this web site can be dangerous and could lead to accidents resulting in injury or death. Some mountains have no trail to the summit requiring you to bushwhack to reach the top. Some of the summits lie in rugged and isolated regions where even minor mishaps can escalate into a life threatening crisis. Other locations lie on private property or other areas where access is restricted. Right of access in these areas is constantly changing and access in the past does not guarantee present access.

Being menopausal is sometimes a bit like reliving your teenage years, skin care wise. Forget anti ageing and anti wrinkle, what a lot of us want now is skincare that stops us breaking out in spots and dehydrating to the point of desiccation. The beauty industry seems more concerned with making us look younger rather than addressing the issues the menopause throws up, so I was almost hyperventilating with excitement when, at the recent REN evening we were invited to, brand ambassador David Delport actually mentioned the M word unprompted.
He told us that Ren has a great cream specifically designed to help alleviate menopause problems, it’s called Sirtuin Phytohormone Replenishing Cream and I’ve been trialling it for a week now. David informed us that it is Ren’s most ‘active ingredient’ cream (remembering that Ren products have no nasty things like parabens, silicones or mineral oils in them at all) and uses wild yam, a popular African natural menopause remedy. I’ve found it gentle and easy on my skin, it has a calming effect on redness that I’ve appreciated. Frankly, I think we should all give Ren a big shout out for even acknowledging the menopause exists. It’s not easy to discover this cream on the website, it’s slightly hidden under a complex science-y label, but if you have issues such as break outs, super-dryness caused by hormone madness or redness then give it a try.
The whole Ren range is lovely, not too fancy with its packaging and quietly perfumed (although the popular Frankincense Night cream is quite pungent). David also highlighted the SH2C serum as a good reviver for older skin, people notice an improvement after 2-3 days apparently and the Bio Retinoid Concentrate and moisturiser are specifically designed to target skin of 40 plus. I’ve loved the newly launched Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser, with cotton cloth to gently scrub away the day’s grime and if you just fancy something fabulous to treat yourself with, then try any of the Rose Otto range, I’m a fan of the Body Oil after being tipped off about it by one of our readers (The Invisible Woman was it you?)
Anyone else using a good, properly-targeted-at-the menopause skincare cream?

It may be Sunday, but we’re busy as ever here at camp! And it may be the first day of August, but we have no intention of slowing down. We’re just getting to the good stuff!
Last night was Timber Tops Idol! A camper was selected from every age group to participate, and there were a few additional wild card acts. One of our “wild cards,” Maddie K., won Timber Idol with an original song she sang and played on her guitar. Maddie became a singer/songwriter during the pandemic, and we were so amazed by her last night. She was among SO MANY talented, extraordinary performers participating in Timber Tops Idol. Congratulations to each of them!
And today started off with the Polar Bear Club! Self-selected polar bears woke up at dawn to jump into the lake, sing three songs, and hop out for their reward of hot chocolate, cookies, bragging rights, and a CTT Polar Bear Club t-shirt! Sounds good to us! A Top Cooks class today made homemade soft pretzels complete with different sauces and toppings – YUM, and the big news is that the Greeley Games are back!
Today’s Greeley Games competition against Pine Forest Camp for Boys and Girls and Lake Owego Camp for Boys include: soccer, basketball, flag football, lacrosse, a swim meet, tennis and archery! Like we said, we’re busy here in Greeley!
And tonight we’ll be even busier with a CTT favorite evening program: ESCAPE FROM CTT! In “Escape,” as its nicknamed, campers are placed in pairs (one junior camper and one senior camper in each group) and must complete a list of activities around camp (think shooting a basketball, kayaking around a buoy in the lake, doing forward rolls in gymnastics, etc.). The first 10 pairs to complete their checklist “ESCAPE” for ice cream! (This year, the ice cream will come to them! In the counselor tent! WOW! No kids are EVER allowed in there!) But wait- there’s a catch. While your happy campers are scampering around camp trying to “Escape from CTT,” there are “powder puffs” (counselors stationed around camp trying to whack kids with a sock filled of corn starch) trying to freeze kids who can only be unfrozen by “hydro helpers,” (counselors who squirt frozen campers with water toys)! It’s complicated, and this blogger isn’t doing it justice, but here’s the gist: it’s going to be an AWESOME night at Timber Tops.
Oh, and when it’s all over, the CAs will be boogying down at a SILENT DISCO! The fun never stops!

Two members of the far-right Religious Zionism party appear to backtrack after reportedly saying they would not vote for the controversial so-called Daycare Law being pushed by the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party to preserve subsidies for Haredi draft evaders.
Two lawmakers from the far-right Religious Zionism party — Moshe Solomon and Ohad Tal — were said to have declared earlier this morning that they would not vote for the legislation, meaning that the government would not have a majority for the vote.
However, in a statement they say there have been “negotiations throughout the morning between [United Torah Judaism] MK Yisrael Eichler and Religious Zionism.” Eichler initiated the legislation.
“Until the vote, we say, and will continue to say, our position is one of partnership and making decisions together,” they say.
“We believe that these days, we must act to increase the participation of all sectors of the population for Israel’s security needs and we hope that we will be able to reach agreements on the matter with all sections of the coalition,” they say.
The coalition holds an eight-seat majority.
Last night, Likud MK Yuli Edelstein, the chairman of the powerful Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, declared he will not back the bill.
Minister Gideon Sa’ar, the chairman of the coalition’s New Hope party, said his party, holding four seats, will vote against the legislation when it comes up for a Knesset vote, and Likud MKs Moshe Saada and Dan Illouz have also said they will not vote for the legislation.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is also widely expected to vote against the law, while Religious Zionism Immigration Minister Ofir Sofer has said he will not vote for the bill until there is progress on issue of Haredi draft exemptions.
The cabinet advanced the proposed law on Sunday in the Ministerial Committee for Legislation. The bill will now head to the Knesset for a vote in a preliminary reading, likely tomorrow.
The legislation, which was submitted last week, aims to guarantee that the children of ultra-Orthodox men who are obligated to perform military service, but have not done so, will continue to be eligible for state-funded daycare subsidies.
It aims to circumvent a High Court of Justice ruling that such financial support is illegal in cases where the father should be serving in the Israel Defense Forces but is not.
The bill is highly controversial, with critics asserting that it would continue to encourage ultra-Orthodox men not to perform military service even as the IDF faces severe manpower shortages after a yearlong multifront war against the Hamas and Hezbollah terror groups.

How a Federal Trademark Registration Protects Your Brand
Updated: Apr 1
Business owners know how crucial brand protection is. When competition is fierce and your brands are your most valuable asset, protecting those brands becomes paramount. For businesses turning over at least $15 million in revenue, the stakes are even higher, making the safeguarding of your brand not just a legal formality but a strategic necessity.
A federal trademark registration is one of the most effective ways to protect your brand’s identity and the equity you’ve built in it. Though the USPTO does not enforce trademarks on behalf of owners, trademark monitoring can help fill those gaps. A federal trademark registration can serve as a critical tool in protecting a brand's identity and integrity, ensuring these business owners understand the value of securing their trademarks at the federal level.
1. Exclusive Nationwide Ownership
The most obvious way that federal trademark registration protects your brand is by giving you the exclusive right to use the registered name or logo across the United States. This nationwide protection prevents others from obtaining registration of a similar mark in a way that could cause confusion among your customers, thereby diluting your brand’s value and compromising your market position.
2. Legal Protection
Federal trademark registration provides legal clarity and support in the enforcement of your rights. It serves as a public notice of your ownership, significantly simplifying the legal process should you need to defend your trademark in court. Additionally, a federally registered trademark grants you the ability to sue in federal court and potentially recover damages, including profits, costs, and attorney’s fees, if someone uses the same mark or one that is "confusingly similar" to customers.
3. Deterrence and Prevention
The presence of your trademark in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database serves as a deterrent to others considering the use of a similar mark. When they search for the ability to use and register new trademarks, they will see that your business already has your particular brands protected. This proactive visibility can prevent potential infringement before it starts, saving you the time, expense, and distraction of pursuing legal action after the fact.
4. Valuable Asset
Your trademark is not just a part of your branding; it’s a tangible asset that adds to the value of your business. A federal trademark can increase in value over time as your business grows. It can be licensed, sold, or used as a security interest to secure loan financing, thus providing financial flexibility and opportunities for expansion.
5. Foundation for Global Brand Protection
For businesses looking beyond the U.S. market, a federal trademark registration can serve as a basis to obtain trademark protection in foreign countries. This is critical for companies aiming to expand internationally, as it provides a streamlined process for securing your brand’s identity on a global scale.
6. Enhanced Brand Image
The ® symbol is more than just a legal marker; it communicates to customers, competitors, and investors that your brand is established, protected, and credible. This can enhance your brand’s image, build customer trust, and create an additional barrier to entry for competitors.
For business owners navigating the complexities of today’s marketplace, a federal trademark registration is not just an option—it’s an essential component of your brand protection strategy. It provides legal security, enhances your brand’s value, and positions your business for future growth and expansion. In an era where brand identity is everything, ensuring your trademark is federally registered is an investment in your business’s longevity and success.
Protecting your brand is protecting the heart of your business. Federal trademark registration is your shield; wield it wisely to safeguard your brand’s identity, integrity, and future.

Self-help products have always been popular, not only for their convenience but for the control they give people. They’ve also been the focus of scepticism and doubt due, in part, to certain unscrupulous companies. But the fact of the matter is that there are plenty of Do It Yourself methods for self-improvement which have been proven to work over the years. Still, when something is seen as being a bit taboo, it’s difficult for people to find out the truth. That’s why we’ve gathered together 5 myths about male enhancement to set the record straight once and for all.
If you’re having problems in bed, you need medical help.
This myth about male enhancement is so persistent because there’s a bit of truth at its core. Sexual performance is absolutely tied to overall health and problems with erectile health, premature or delayed ejaculation and both stamina and libido can potentially be related to an underlying health concern. At the same time, these issues are also common in men with no underlying health issues and are not always linked to any other issue. In fact, conditions like premature ejaculation are exceedingly common and often present on their own. While these are not usually connected to a medical condition, they are often associated with unhealthy behaviours such as smoking, over eating or stress.
All male enhancement products are the same.
There was a time when there simply wasn’t much selection when it came to male enhancement products. These days, though, the playing field is bigger than ever before so no matter what problem you’re having there’s something that can help. Best of all, the variety in products means that you have plenty of choice depending on how you want to address the issue. There are supplements for those who prefer a more hands on approach, manuals and advice for those who want to do things as naturally as possible and medical devices for more extreme options.
Supplements never work.
Supplements are a popular way for people to maintain their health and make improvements through nutrition. Daily vitamins are perhaps the most common form of supplement and others have become well-known for their proven efficacy. Ginger, garlic and St. John’s Wort for example have all become established and trusted methods to treat everything from high blood pressure to depression. It’s true that not all supplements are effective and buyers must do a bit of research by checking out ingredients and male enhancement reviews in order to learn more about specific brands, but there are a number of reputable and proven stand along supplements and blends which can improve your health.
Your sex drive should remain the same once you’re in your thirties.
Few things in life remain steady and sex drive definitely isn’t one of them. A person’s sex drive, or libido, can fluctuate throughout their lives, often feeling like a roller coaster as they enter adulthood. A man’s libido may stabilize once he’s in his thirties but that doesn’t mean it will remain at the same level no matter what else is happening. Libido can be affected by a man’s overall health as well as other things going on in his life. Stress at work, problems at home and even concerns over world events can all sap a man’s sexual energy. Likewise, positive changes can put things back to rights so don’t worry about minor fluctuations.
Male enhancement products are all a scam.
The male enhancement industry is, in many ways, similar to the diet industry – there are some great companies and some real stinkers. The trick is to disconnect from the sales hype and use unbiased male enhancement reviews to better evaluate your options. By reading through male enhancement reviews on third party websites and forums you can find the products and companies that truly work and focus your energy and attention on methods that will improve your health instead of just draining your bank account.

Siemens, a global leader in industrial manufacturing, has partnered with AI hardware and software provider Nvidia to implement digital twin technology in industrial settings.
The alliance combines Nvidia’s AI GPU chips’ power and visual sophistication with Siemens’ expertise in digital twins—accurate digital representations of real-life objects and processes for sophisticated simulation—in building and manufacturing.
The deal confirmed on Wednesday is part of the product launch package. New products include Siemens Xcelerator, a hardware-software-services business platform for industrial, architectural and transportation IoT applications, building X Smart Building SaaS suite and acquisition of smart building software provider Brightly by Siemens. The Partner Ecosystem is at the heart of Xcelerator, and Siemens said the agreement with Nvidia was the first major partnership in the Xcelerator portfolio.
Siemens is proficient in building digital twins with physical accuracy that act like real objects. Nvidia — with its heritage in gaming, rendering and Artificial Intelligence — is powerful in creating digital twins with visual fidelity, observed Paul Miller, a Forrester Research analyst.
“Both have been expanding their capabilities for several years, moving towards twins that combine physical and visual fidelity, but by working together they take a sensible shortcut for themselves and their customers,” Miller said.
Nvidia is the provider of digital twin systems to e-commerce giants such as Amazon, which utilizes the technology to test complex robotic warehouse systems. Another significant customer, BMW, uses the tech for testing autonomous vehicles in simulated environments.
Siemens’ software-focused move, including a digital twin initiative with Nvidia, shows that the Munich-based conglomerate has made a decisive move into the digital world after several previous obstacles, said Johna Till Johnson, CEO and analyst at Nemertes. The indicated moves include the making of integrated services digital network communications chips, later supplanted by DSL and cable in the 1980s and 1990s.
“Siemens does have a track record of thinking strategically and executing well, so that makes this interesting … it’s a bellwether announcement,” Johnson said of the deal with Nvidia. “This vision of the industrial metaverse is actually the money shot for the metaverse. This makes a whole lot of sense if you think about the fact that Siemens is historically where intelligence meets the real world,” she added.
While metaverse applications for businesses like manufacturing and transportation are multiplying rapidly, Johnson recommended that standards are required for metaverse and digital twins technology to stabilize and keep advancing.
The foundation for Nvidia Omniverse is the universal scene description (USD) open source standard for 3D technology digital design and asset sharing developed by Pixar Animation Studios. USD, developed by Apple, is rapidly becoming popular and embraced for metaverse standards.
Till now, Siemens and Nvidia did not disclose any stakeholders for their joint digital twin venture.
Miller also said, “It’s early days for the Nvidia-Siemens partnership, so I think we probably need to wait to see the first key applications, but the direction of travel is intriguing,” “Siemens is making a big shift, to offer significant pieces of the software, hardware and services portfolio as a service, under the Xcelerator umbrella.” He then added, “But Xcelerator isn’t just about Siemens hardware, software and services. Partners like Nvidia are an important element of the Xcelerator story.”

"I am like a 24-hour Grab service! Here in Ang Mo Kio, residents know one another well and they will help one another naturally."
Cheng San-Seletar residents like 55-year-old Ms Jessie Teo have found different ways to support vulnerable and elderly neighbours during these challenging times. Having come to know these friends from activities at TOUCHpoint@AMK 433, they rallied around one another and built on their friendships by helping one another.
"My heart goes out to my neighbours who are old and alone. Many are scared of the virus. Some of them also have dementia. They find it hard to remember so many things and worry a lot when they go out. I will always try to explain and remind them to wear their masks as they tend to forget," said Jessie.
Jessie keeps close tabs on her befriendeees who live in the vicinity - Mdm Ong LT, 73, and Mdm Mok SC, 69. Their close rapport comes from regular meetings at TOUCHpoint@AMK 433 and Jessie also visits them at home regularly.
Mdm Ong lives alone and her weak joints causes pain and discomfort when she moves around. Before the Covid-19 outbreak, both of them attended the Diabetes Peer Support group by TOUCH, where they learnt how to better manage their diabetic conditions. Recently, Mdm Ong was unwell and called her for help. Jessie contacted her son who then brought her to seek medical attention. Jessie enjoys sharing self-care tips with Mdm Ong and helps to get her meals when Mdm Ong finds it hard to leave her apartment. Other neighbours have also stepped up to help Mdm Ong and one arranged to accompany Mdm Ong to the voting station, together with his mother.
After the circuit breaker, Jessie met up with Mdm Ong and helped set up WhatsApp on her handphone so that they can video call each other. She also taught Mdm Ong how to use her handphone for video calls with family and friends. "Mdm Ong is keen to learn. She got so excited when she saw her grand children's faces on her phone! I also taught her how to scan a QR code. I feel happy to see her enjoying video calls with others through What'sApp," said Jessie.

"I am like a 24-hour Grab service! Here in Ang Mo Kio, residents know one another well and they will help one another naturally. I could be running errands or helping to fix TV channels. We all do what we can. Next time, when I am not well, I will be grateful if someone can help me too," said Jessie with a smile.
Jessie assists other elderly residents too. Recently, one elderly resident was not feeling well so she checked-in on her by getting her meals, hang the food at the gate and taking peeks from the corridor window.
Friendly neighbours are also helping Mdm Chew SL, 74, who lives alone. Some ferry her to her medical appointments or to help her get her shopping done. They also keep her connected through WhatsApp video calls. Residents also volunteered to change faulty light bulbs and do grocery runs.

The trainchinese system is trusted by thousands of students — here's why:
Select your vocabulary
Create flash card lists using words and phrases from our online and in-app dictionary.
You can also copy ready-made lists from a selection of more than 1,000 vocab lists covering hundreds of topics of interest,
levels of difficulty and more, prepared both by our professional staff and other trainchinese users.
Train your chosen vocabulary online or in our mobile or desktop apps.
Words are trained in each of four "training modes" focused on learning to read, write, recognize spoken words and
translate words into your native language. Unique to trainchinese, the system presents flash cards differently
for each mode. In one mode you may be shown Chinese and asked for its translation, and in another you may only hear a word
and be asked to identify it. We count the number of times you "know" and "don't know" your flash cards to intelligently
remove them from your training cycle.
Repeat words later
trainchinese uses a tried-and-tested technique called 'spaced repetition'.
That means that each time a vocabulary word is 'passed' it disappears from training for
a longer period of time (though it remains in your vocab list), returning later to be trained again.
After several such repetitions you will have memorized it!
Play, enjoy and share
The flash card system is not the only way you can learn Chinese with trainchinese.
With our family of mobile apps for iOS and Android you'll boost your knowledge of Pinyin,
Chinese Numbers, listening skills and even writing! The educational game Chinese Writer
is already used by students around the world who enjoy its fast-paced and educational gameplay.
What's more, many of our apps connect to trainchinese.com so you can learn the words from your lists in fun new ways!

ABOUT FRESH COAST
Fresh Coast Film Festival (Oct. 19-22, 2023) is held annually in October, near the peak of Marquette's fall color season. The 4-day fest spans across the city of Marquette, featuring 80+ films between 5+ venues, and offering 11 FREE outdoor tours throughout the weekend.
"Fresh Coast Film Festival is the first of its kind: a documentary film festival celebrating the outdoor lifestyle, water-rich environment and resilient spirit of the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest. The festival will gather the best in environmental and cultural filmmaking from around the world while creating a venue for, and building a culture of, Great Lakes storytelling."
WHICH PASS YOU SHOULD CHOOSE
🎟️ You can purchase a day, weekend, or student pass online here. (We recommend signing up for a free outdoor tour, too).
🎟️ Still not sure? Check out FRESH COAST FREE: Food Trucks, Films & More on Thursday, Oct 14 from 5-9 at Mattson Lower Harbor Park. Then purchase a weekend or day pass at FCFF headquarters - Campfire CoWorks. The HQ is also where you'll pick up your wristband & program and can purchase Fresh Coast merch.
🌊 There are a TON of choices, so check out the films, venues and schedule in the program guide or at www.freshcoastfilm.com.
🌊 You won't be able to see everything. Carefully craft your film itinerary, or simply wing it, either way, you'll be inspired and entertained.
🌊 Don't think of it as going to see a movie. Fresh Coast is more than that. It's an experience, more along the lines of a music festival with multiple stages going at the same time. It's as much about the people you meet and the conversations you share as it is about the films you see.
🌊 The festival is divided into two-hour-long film blocks that run simultaneously at multiple venues in downtown Marquette. These blocks could be a group of themed short films or a single feature that takes up the whole block. Each block will have an emcee and most likely a few attending filmmakers who will present their films, take questions and give a little additional information about themselves and their projects.
🌊 Finally, part of what makes Fresh Coast special is all of the local venues—so enjoy a refreshing brew and some delicious food and support Marquette's small businesses while you are #freshcoasting.

A car battery is one of the most vital aspects of a vehicle that owners should never ignore. The battery operation system is responsible for giving the vehicle the power it needs, including start-up power, lights, dashboard, and other operations. For that reason, regular checking is what the battery needs. However, it does not necessarily mean that owners cannot do something else to extend the life of the battery other than checking the part regularly. How to recondition a car battery then becomes the next most talked-about car-related topics that both general owners and experts should know. This article lists several tips you can follow if you aim to extend the battery’s lifespan. You can start by ensuring buying only high-quality power source for your vehicle. Otherwise, the tips below will not work effectively, even if you do your best.
Although car owners spend most of their time driving on the road, there are times when they are not using their vehicle. When it happens, parking the car in the garage is something they normally do. However, do you know that the garage with quality insulation can affect the lifespan of the car battery? This may not be significant during summer or when the temperature is quite high. But things are different during winter. The battery is designed to power the machine, meaning that it should be constantly heated. Parking your car in a garage without proper insulation is one of the fastest ways to drain your battery’s life. Thus, experts repeatedly mentioned this matter as a way to remind all owners that parking space also plays quite an essential role.
Regular cleaning is also much needed, especially if you drive around a lot. Over time, dirt, residue, and corrosion can build up, and it can disturb the charging system. As a result, owners may notice that the battery is no longer in its best performance, resulting in a shorter lifespan. It is the reason why regular cleaning is necessary. If you cannot handle the task properly, it is advisable to take the vehicle to the nearest service center.
Although it is not a new thing when it comes to automotive, many car owners are not quite familiar with what distilled water does for the power source. Instead of using other materials, adding distilled water to the battery can extend the life and maintain its quality. The element works by eliminating gas buildups inside the frame that can cause issues to the power system.

The Metaverse is synonymous with virtual reality space. It was coined by author Neal Stephenson in 1992. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and tech gurus like Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin are accelerating this idea. The practice originated in the cryptomarket with CryptoKitties and Funko Pop! figures, then bloomed into NFTs as a type of non-fungible tokens in the blockchain world. These digital collectibles stored in a blockchain.
Convert artwork into fractions
According to NFT Platform MakerDAO, NFTs are used for ownership on an item or collection. You can trade it in-game with another player. They can also be transferred between different games/platforms like rare skins and items from games such as Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft; designed to be non-transferrable assets. They take your most prized artwork or possession and change it into a fraction. Then when you think about selling something or trading it with somebody else, you can only see fractions of a whole picture, rather than the entire thing.
Buying furniture NFTs, rare objects in the metaverse stems back to the early days of virtual reality (VR). In fact, an entire ecosystem has developed around such collectibles. Artisans who sketch some custom pieces for you and then sell them to you as a unique NFT; 3D printing services for creating replicas of these expensive collectibles.
Creating furniture NFTs
By now, thanks to the wonders of digital marketing, even luxury hotels are joining this trend by interiors designing multi-million-dollar rooms with exotic furniture NFT. This luxury market will keep growing bigger as it provides higher returns than any other investment over time. Amidst all these recent developments happening in VR and AR spaces, this question needs a deeper analysis. To shed light on it, let’s see what makes real world assets less enticing than their virtual counterparts.
Mind-blowing Furniture NFT Collection
The Monde Singulier collection
Designed for the metaverse and the real world are the Le Champ, La Prairie, and Le Desert NFT collections. All of them will not be available in the real world. Monde Singulier substantiates through its webpage.
Monde Singulier is not just another furniture company. Founded by two artisans: Sebastien, President and CEO and Pierre, Creative Director, it stands for Metaverse Singleplayer.

Ho Chi Minh City is home to one of Vietnam’s most bustling locations – the Ben Thanh Market. The market possesses the perfect balance between being a novel tourist attraction and a respected local hotspot.
Here, consumers can choose from a tapestry of food, souvenirs, and artwork and develop a sense of true Vietnamese life.
Unlike so many other Ho Chi Minh City landmarks, the Ben Thanh Market was well established by the French colonialism era. The history of the market dates back as far as the 17th century when entrepreneurial-minded vendors began setting up market stalls on the banks of the Saigon River in the hopes of turning a profit.
By the turn of the 18th century, the market was in full swing and was bustling with vendors and haggling locals alike. The arrival of the French saw a change in the market on the Saigon River.
In 1859, they commandeered its control before a fire in 1870 signaled its end. In 1912, the market was rebuilt to become the country’s finest and moved to its current location.
At the Market
It’s difficult to properly sum up the sheer range of products available at the Ben Thanh Market. Everything from fresh fruit and vegetables, idiosyncratic gifts, and electronic products are available here, being that the market caters to an increasingly diverse range of customers.
The stalls are awash with the sounds of conversation, haggling, and the pleasant interchange of banter between vendor and potential customer. An entire day can be spent meandering around the market’s long, flowing corridors, observing the cavalcade of hopeful sellers and apprehensive buyers hoping to negotiate a deal.
Covering an area of over 11,000 square meters, the Ben Thanh market is a perpetual hotbed for human activity. Quiet days are nonexistent and a surplus of eclectic products is the norm. There are a few particularly wonderful art stalls that sell an array of indigenous artifacts and nick-nacks such as silk clothes, chopsticks, artwork, and jewelry.
The Best Time to Visit
While there’s never a bad time to visit the Ben Thanh Market, it’s important to note the differences between its daytime incarnation and its nighttime one.
After 6 pm, hungry locals seeking a post-work meal start infiltrating the market, making use of its food stalls. The sights, sounds, and smells emanating from these eateries are gloriously Vietnamese and you’ll be able to get a candid insight into the lives of the citizens.
There’s a delightfully humble quality in watching a chef cook your meal from only a few feet away. Despite all the food stalls sharing the same skinny stretch of road, the eateries are all incredibly hygienic and the range of fish, meat, and vegetables on offer is noticeably clean and fresh.
Menus are written in both the native tongue and English so there’s no need to feel intimidated or confused when ordering your meal. Once you’re sufficiently satiated, you can resume wandering around the market, marveling at the sight of a metropolis in full swing.
Tourists should remain cognizant of the fact that, like any marketplace, vendors thrive off the naivety of tourists. Prices are high in the market due to its reputation as a prime piece of real estate. You’ll need to keep your wits about you and do your best to barter with the vendors to avoid being taken advantage of.
Overall, the Ben Thanh Market is a fascinating insight into authentic Vietnamese life. It serves as a wonderful intersection where tourists meet locals and it offers a laundry list of unique goods and services. It may not be the cheapest market in the world, but it may be one of the best!
Address: Đ. Lê Lợi, Phường Bến Thành, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Season: Open Daily

Encino Wage and Hour Law Attorneys
If you are employed in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, or San Diego area, you are entitled to certain rights, protections, and benefits under the law. Kingsley & Kingsley strives to make sure that all workers are treated fairly and receive all of the wages and benefits to which they are entitled. Speak with one of our Encino wage and hour lawyers if you believe you are not receiving the wages and benefits you deserve.
Minimum wage and overtime
Both the federal government and the state of California set a minimum wage that must be paid to employees. Both the federal minimum wage and the California minimum wage are increasing.
California's state minimum wage:
- 2018: $11/hr. (businesses with 26 or more employees); $10.50/hr. (businesses with 25 or fewer employees)
- 2019: $12 per hour for businesses with 26 or more employees; $11.00/ hr. (businesses with 25 or fewer employees)
- 2020: $13 an hour for businesses with 26 or more employees; $12.00/hr. (businesses with 25 or fewer employees)
In California, note that the minimum wage rate may be higher in your locality; there are several localities with minimum wage rates that differ the state minimum wage rate (they have higher minimum wage rates).
In addition to a minimum wage, both the federal government and the state of California mandate a maximum number of hours that may be worked in a week, and both systems mandate the payment of overtime for hours worked over that maximum. California law goes above and beyond federal law with respect to both minimum wage and maximum hour law, and it mandates certain rest periods and meal breaks that are not required by the federal government.
Rest and meal breaks
California requires employers to permit nonexempt employees to take a meal break as close to the middle of the work shift as possible. Employees also are entitled to 10 minutes of rest for each four-hour work period or half shift, which is a two- to four-hour period. A rest period is counted as time worked, and the employer must pay the employee for that time. Since employees are paid for the rest periods, employers can require that they stay on the premises.
The rest period begins when you reach the designated rest area adjacent to where you are working. An employer is required to provide suitable resting places that are separate from bathroom facilities.
If an employer fails to provide you with a rest period in accordance with California law, the employer has to pay you for one additional hour of work at your regular rate for each workday—not rest period—that you were denied.
Other tasks that an employer requires of you can entitle you to additional compensation. For instance, employees who are required to perform any tasks before clocking in or after clocking out are entitled to compensation. This includes changing into or out of a uniform, running errands, or picking up supplies. Also, employees who are required to report to work but are then sent home are entitled to be paid for at least half a shift, up to four hours but not less than two hours.
If you believe that you are being denied your rights or are not being fully compensated for the work you are doing, speak to a Kingsley & Kingsley wage attorney, who may be able to help you recover wages or payment for missed rest periods.
Contact us about your wage and hour claim
Whether you are paid on an hourly, salary, or commission basis—or whether you are a salesperson, banking employee, factory worker, or housekeeper working in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, or San Diego—an Encino wage attorney at Kingsley & Kingsley can help you collect unpaid wages or seek recourse for unfair treatment.

Google advertising is one of the most useful online advertising platforms that exist nowadays. It power comes from its unique way of showing your ads to customers when they are searching for your products and services on its properties. Moreover, it can show your ads to the target audience across various display channels on google properties or those of its partners.
Managing a successful Ads campaign can be a complex task that may require a high level of expertise. That is why you may need Google ads agency services; you will get the support that you may need to set up and optimize an effective ads campaign. In this article, we will look at the different Google ads agency pricing models and help you identify the right pricing model for you.
Percentage of ad spend.
Some Google ads specialist charge a given percentage of your monthly ads spend. For instance, they may charge 30 per cent of the ads spend so if your monthly budget is 3000 pounds, they will bill you nine hundred pounds for their services. This may be a good model since it aligns with the agency with the goals of the client. This means that the client will only pay based on the campaign performance. However, it may not suit an advertisement with a high ad spend and little or no results at all.
This is one of the popular plans among Google ads agency services. It entails a fixed monthly fee for their campaign management services. They may charge a higher amount in the first month to help them create a strategy for you and set up the required campaigns then a fixed monthly fee for management. We see this Google ads agency pricing working well for clients that want to know the exact cost at the start. This Google ads agency pricing does not count in the time and effort the Google specialist may invest in improving the campaign, hence you may get or not get the value for your money.
This form of Google ads agency pricing involves charging an hourly rate for their services. This may include Campaign management and strategy development. This pricing is good for clients who have a smaller budget or those who need occasional support from time to time. To add to that, it ensures that the client is charged based on the work done by the Google ads specialist on the setup or management of their Google ads. At upMention, we use an Hourly rate where we ensure that the client only pays for the time invested in the campaign. Moreover, we keep a clean time log hours for every hour spent on the campaign.
Each pricing model has its own pros and cons. It is important to consider each pricing plan carefully and choose the one that best aligns with your campaign goals and budget.
While price is a factor when choosing a Google ads Agency, it shouldn’t be the only consideration. It is important to evaluate the different pricing proposals well to consider if they can bring in the value that you need. Beyond the price, it is important you consider the experience and their track record in managing successful Google ads campaigns. Moreover, investigate the Google ads specialist communication styles and the reporting capabilities. These could give you a good measure of how you can collaborate and stay informed on the campaign performance.
When a lot of noise is made, the point is not to drown it out, but to harmonize and hit the right string. That is what we stand for. A story that resonates with the right people through smart online marketing.

Doing business with the USA – Do I need to file?
For any New Zealand or Australian business selling internationally, a potential minefield of various tax implications awaits.
This is especially relevant when dealing with the USA, and is something we frequently consult on.
When selling into the US using a foreign corporation, the main factor to consider, is whether there is “effectively connected income”. This is specifically referring to income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business (further reading is available in Section 1.864-4).
You might now be wondering, “what is effectively connected income?”. While there isn’t a specific definition of the term, it generally does cover most types of income sourced in the US (by a foreign corporation). This may be sales into the US on a continuous basis (from outside the US), or sourcing and then selling your products into the US. Your tax advisor should be able to clarify whether you have “effectively connected income”.
Should a foreign company have “effectively connected income”, it may be required to file Form 1120-F, which is an income tax return for a foreign corporation. In many cases, this doesn’t result in any tax owing, due to the tax treaties in place between both Australia and New Zealand, and the US.
In order to use the tax treaty to ensure that income is taxable in the home country of the foreign company, we refer to Article 5 (Permanent Establishment). As a broad overview, this defines the rules regarding the cases in which the US may tax the “effectively connected income”. A number of factors are taken into consideration, such as whether the foreign company has staff on the ground in the US, warehousing, offices, or any other presence.
Once these factors are considered thoroughly, we should be able to establish:
- Is there any “effectively connected income” and,
- Whether the foreign company holds “permanent establishment” in the USA.
While point 1 above will be used to determine if there will be a tax obligation for the foreign company in the US, a filing obligation exists regardless if the answer to point 2 is “yes’.
Even if the foreign company has no tax to pay, a tax return filing obligation will likely still exist (Section 1.6012-2(g)(1)(i) and (ii)).
If your NZ or Australian company is considering selling into the US, or are already underway with such an endeavour, it is essential that you understand the tax obligations.

Hale Centre Theatre showcases incredible talent with “Molly Brown”
Hale Centre Theatre knows how to put on a show with “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”
Running from Aug. 29 to Oct. 18 of this year, Hale Centre Theatre presents a brilliant rendition of the 1964 film, “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.” With incredible live music, dance numbers, clever set work and impeccable timing on all parts, “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” is for all theatre-going fans looking for a night of fun.
Presented by director and choreographer Dave Tinney, the ensemble cast of “Molly Brown” has worked hard under his guidance. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday performances, firecracker and wonderfully talented Maryn Tueller, acts as the titular character – a real-life American socialite and philanthropist who survived the sinking of the Titanic.
“The whole experience almost doesn’t feel real,” Tueller wrote via Instagram. “I have to pinch myself to remind me it is! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience to play such a remarkable person, but it’s made even more special by the remarkable and talented people that made this show happen.” Tueller’s incredible acting brings to life the legacy of Molly Brown and her voice fills the theatre with clear precision and life. She plays Molly with her whole heart and soul, with acute attention to detail even when the audience’s eyes are on other characters.
Acting opposite the powerhouse heroine is Kaden Caldwell as J.J Brown (for Monday, Wednesday and Friday performances) – handyman, miner and romantic. Caldwell’s J.J is earnest and real, the actor bringing a level of humanity to a character that is refreshing and unique. This is not to mention his powerful singing voice. He paints a picture of a progressive leader and hard-working, devoted husband – often cracking jokes that had the audience in stitches. The show follows the two character’s meeting and inevitable romance, which starts out all insult and annoyance but morphs into true adoration. Tueller and Caldwell made the audience swoon with their portrayal of the couple who met simultaneous difficulty and success on screen, stage and in real life.
The entire cast, with members like Will Ingram, Dale Hoopes, Kenichi Nakashima, Justin Bills, Jason Baldwin, Alan Babcock, Ben Roeling, Roberto Fernandez, MaKenna Tinney, Julie Silvestro, Heather White, Emma Bergman, Brandalee Bluth Streeter and Mckelle Shaw, proved there is truth to the idiom “dancing [and singing] their hearts out.” The choreography is upbeat and entirely engaging, almost as though the audience could stand up and join in with the numbers. The stage rises and falls with splendid, detailed and riveting set designs that include a mine, country home, wealthy manor and even the lifeboats of the Titanic.
Over the years, Hale Centre has put on incredible productions, but “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” really provides a level of non-stop energy and vivacity that seems as though it would be difficult to produce every other night. The actors give it their all, night after night, creating a captivating and heartwarming story. All would be wise to attend a show at Hale Centre, at least once, but with “Molly Brown” being on stage until Oct. 29, this is an opportunity to seize as soon as possible!

Here are five ways to cut down your electricity usage:
Good energy rating should be one of the things you would consider before buying an appliance; comparing two appliances of the same size, the one with more stars would often have a lower energy consumption. In using an appliance with good energy rating, it will benefit you to unplug appliance that is not in use.
Regulate the Temperature of Your Household
A well-insulated roof will help keep the pleasant temperature of your home during the summer and winter. Another measure that you can do is to prevent draft, a current of cool air, from entering your house by making sure doors and windows are properly sealed.
A simple practice that can save you lots of money is by closing all external windows and doors. In addition to the atmosphere of your house, the use of compact fluorescent lightbulbs is better than using downlights that penetrate the ceiling and insulation.
Walking Instead of Driving to Nearby Locations
Whenever possible, leave your vehicle at home and try other energy-saving modes of transportation such as walking, cycling, riding public transport, or carpooling. A fuel-efficient car can do the work for you, but you will be able to save more when you try these alternative modes of transportation.
Keep Your Water-efficiency at the Optimum Level
Instead of using freshwater for gardening, you can opt to use collected rainwater and recycled greywater from showers, laundry tubs, and washing machines. Another tip is to install a water-efficient showerhead that is compatible with your water system, particularly its flow rate.
Make the Switch to “Green Power”
With half of the greenhouse gases generation coming from electricity, a good way to reduce this would be converting your electric use to green power. It entails using power generated from renewable sources such as water, wind, and the sun. It costs slightly more than standard electricity but would surely reduce the greenhouse gas production and energy usage.
Venturing into the high-risk yet fulfilling world of business can be discouraging and taunting. One way to protect yourself from unpredictable problems is through buying business insurance. At Valencia Insurance Group, we aim to make our client's life easier with policies that are tailored to their needs.

No matter how much Florida residents admired Prince, the IRS likely admires him even more. This is because his estate will pay a federal estate tax of 40 percent on an estate worth $200 million. That is on top of a 16 percent Minnesota estate tax, and the combined tax bills will reduce the value of his estate to about $88 million.
However, there may have been ways to reduce the amount of estate tax that the singer owed. For instance, he could have made direct contributions to charities either while he was alive or at the time of his death. This could have been done through a charitable lead trust or through the creation of a foundation that Prince could have managed during his lifetime.
If he had formed an LLC or a corporation and placed his assets in it, a small stake in those entities could then have been transferred to a trust designed for a specific beneficiary. The value of minority stakes in a non-publicly traded entity are discounted for gift and estate tax purposes. While these discounts may be eliminated in the future, they could have reduced the singer’s tax burden at the time of his death.
Creating a trust, making charitable contributions or other estate planning tools may help an individual reduce his or her estate tax burden. This may make it possible for beneficiaries to receive a larger share of their inheritance. A trust may be preferable over a will because assets flow from a trust to the beneficiary without first going through probate. Trusts may also be preferable to wills because they are not part of the public record, which may allow a decedent’s family members to maintain their privacy.

Varicose veins are a common condition affecting millions of people worldwide. In addition to their cosmetic concerns, varicose veins can sometimes lead to discomfort, swelling, and more serious health complications. Thankfully, there are several treatments available, one of the most popular being sclerotherapy. If you’re considering sclerotherapy as a solution to varicose veins, it’s helpful to understand what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment designed to treat varicose veins and smaller spider veins. It involves injecting a special solution (called a sclerosing agent) directly into the affected veins. The solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. In most cases, the treated veins fade from view over time, leaving smoother skin and reduced symptoms.
Before the Procedure
Prior to undergoing sclerotherapy, you will have a consultation with your doctor, usually a vascular specialist or dermatologist. During this consultation, your medical history will be reviewed, and your veins will be examined. Your doctor may use ultrasound imaging to assess the size and depth of the veins, which will help determine if sclerotherapy is the most appropriate treatment.
You will also be asked to avoid certain medications and supplements in the days leading up to the treatment. Blood thinners, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, should generally be stopped before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising or bleeding. You may also be advised to wear comfortable clothing and bring compression stockings with you for after the procedure.
During the Procedure
Sclerotherapy is an outpatient procedure, meaning it’s typically done in a doctor’s office or clinic, and it doesn’t require anesthesia. While the procedure is relatively quick and straightforward, you may feel a mild sting or burning sensation when the sclerosing agent is injected into the veins. The doctor will use a fine needle to inject the solution directly into the targeted veins. You may experience a slight cramping sensation as the veins react to the solution, but most people find the discomfort to be minimal.
The procedure usually lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the number and size of the veins being treated. Afterward, you doctor may have you walk around for a few minutes to help improve blood circulation. Movement can aid in the effectiveness of the treatment.
After the Procedure
Immediately after sclerotherapy, you may notice some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects are common and typically resolve within a few days to a week. In some cases, you might experience slight itching or the formation of small lumps under the skin, but these too are temporary and will subside with time.
To maximize the results of the treatment, your doctor will likely recommend that you wear compression stockings for a few days to help promote the reabsorption of the treated veins. It’s important to follow your doctor’s aftercare instructions, as this can significantly impact the effectiveness of the procedure.
Most patients are able to return to normal activities immediately after sclerotherapy. However, it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise or hot environments like saunas for a few days following treatment. Regular walking helps promote circulation and healing.
Results and Follow-up
You will likely begin to see results within a few weeks, though it may take up to 3-4 months for the full effect to become visible. Some veins may require additional treatment sessions for optimal results. Your doctor will schedule follow-up visits to assess your progress and determine if any further treatments are needed.
If you suffer from varicose or spider veins, Varicose to Perfect is here to help. We offer a range of treatment options, including sclerotherapy to help restore the health and beauty of your skin. Contact our office today to schedule a consultation and see if treatment is right for you.

Plumbing emergencies in commercial and industrial properties can be costly and disruptive. They have the potential to bring your business operations or your tenants to a standstill and lead to significant financial losses. However, many of these emergencies can be prevented with proper care and maintenance of your plumbing system. In this post, we will explore essential tips and strategies to help you prevent common commercial plumbing emergencies in your commercial or industrial property.
Understanding Common Commercial Plumbing Emergencies
Before diving into prevention strategies, it’s important to understand the types of plumbing emergencies that businesses commonly face. These include burst pipes, clogged drains, and leaks. These issues can not only disrupt your daily operations but also result in extensive damage to the property and expensive repairs. Preventing these emergencies should be a top priority for any business or property owner.
Regular Commercial Plumbing Maintenance
One of the most effective ways to prevent commercial plumbing emergencies is through regular maintenance. Just as you wouldn’t neglect the maintenance of your vehicle to prevent breakdowns, your commercial or industrial plumbing system requires similar attention.
Scheduled inspections by professional plumbers are crucial. These experts can identify potential issues before they escalate into emergencies. Regular maintenance includes checking for leaks, inspecting pipes, and ensuring that all fixtures are in good working condition.
Tips to Prevent Plumbing Emergencies
- Schedule Routine Inspections: Set up a schedule for routine inspections by a professional plumber. These inspections should be performed at least annually, with additional checks during seasonal transitions.
- Monitor Water Pressure: High water pressure can strain your pipes, leading to leaks and bursts. Invest in pressure regulation and consider pressure testing to ensure everything is within safe limits.
- Prevent Frozen Pipes: In colder climates, insulate pipes to prevent freezing during winter. Frozen pipes can cause significant damage and disruption.
- Proper Grease Disposal: If your business involves cooking, ensure that grease is disposed of properly and doesn’t go down the drains. Grease buildup can lead to stubborn clogs.
- Avoid Overloading Drains: Train your staff not to overload drains with excessive debris. Regularly clean and maintain your drain systems.
- Inspect and Maintain Water Heaters: Water heaters are essential for many businesses. Regularly inspect them for leaks, flush them to remove sediment buildup, and regulate the temperature to prevent overheating.
- Install Leak Detection Systems: Modern technology allows for the installation of leak detection systems. These systems can quickly identify and alert you to potential leaks, allowing for prompt action.
Emergency Response Plan
While prevention is the key, it’s also important to have an emergency response plan in place. In case a plumbing emergency does occur, knowing how to respond can minimize damage. Your emergency response plan should include steps such as shutting off the water supply, contacting your commercial plumbing company, and evacuating affected areas if necessary.
DIY vs. Professional Help
There may be minor plumbing issues that you or your staff can address, such as simple clogs or minor leaks. However, it’s crucial to recognize when a problem requires professional assistance. Attempting repairs without the necessary expertise can make the situation worse and potentially more costly to fix.
Preventing common plumbing emergencies in your commercial property is a proactive approach that can save you time, money, and headaches in the long run. By educating your staff, scheduling regular maintenance, and being prepared with an emergency response plan, you can significantly reduce the risk of plumbing disasters. Remember that professional plumbers are your allies in this endeavor, and their expertise can make all the difference in maintaining a smoothly functioning plumbing system for your business.

Types of Contracts
There are a variety options available to enhance the protection of your IP rights, ranging from contracts solely focusing on intellectual property to contracts where intellectual property is an integral part of such agreement.
Most common agreements:
# Intellectual Property Agreement
This type of agreement is executed between two or more collaborating parties for the purchase and sale of intellectual property rights. It’s also commonly known as intellectual property transfer agreement or intellectual property assignment agreement.
# Business Agreements
In addition to contracts that solely focus on IP rights, any type of commercial agreement from manufacturing to sales agreements should contain IP clauses such as IP ownership, term of use or confidently agreements.
Since difficulties often arise when no formal agreements are established, we strongly advise that IP provisions are specified and part of any business contract.
# Employment Agreements
All common IP rights can be protected through IP clauses specified in employment agreements. Especially trade secrets are one of the most concerning topics for businesses when hiring employees. IP protection clauses ensure through the provision of severe punishment that the risk of breach is kept at a minimum.
# Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements
Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements are also known as mutual disclosure agreements or secrecy agreement. These contracts are commonly used in companies, for example when exploring new business opportunities, such as investing in different countries or when developing relationships with new partners.
Since legal contracts can be very complex, we strongly recommend to seek advice from experienced lawyers.

You’ve probably heard of quantum computing, even if you don’t fully understand it.
In a nutshell: quantum computing revolves around quantum bits (qubits) which can take on more than one state at the same time, known as superposition.
This means that more calculations can be done on the quantum computer, which could pave the way to exciting discoveries.
This week, Microsoft’s quantum computing team was in London for the company’s annual Microsoft Decoded event.
As well as talking about the quantum computer the company is building, Krysta Svore, principal research manager at Microsoft Research, also talked about the types of things Microsoft hopes to achieve when it builds a fully working quantum computing.
I entered quantum computing because I wanted to learn how to actually program this device,” said Svore. “At Microsoft, we want to scale and actually solve the world’s most challenging problems with these qubits.

Here are the problems quantum computing could solve according to Microsoft.
1. Nitrogen Fixation
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is converted into a form that plants and other organisms can use, such as ammonia. Plants need nitrogen in the soil to grow, which is why it is one of the most important biochemical processes on Earth.
Artificial fertiliser production [could] help the world’s hunger. Currently, we use a process from the early 1900s which consumers something like three percent of the world’s natural gas, just for fertiliser. Let’s improve that.
Quantum computers can simulate things in nature that are fundamentally quantum in nature, like quantum chemistry which is the nitrogen fixation process.
As a result, Microsoft’s teams are working on algorithm development to find a new, low-cost way of creating fertiliser using nitrogen fixation.
2. Climate change
This week has been a big week for climate change concerns.
According to the UN’s World Metrological Organisation (WMO), concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have reached the highest levels in 800,000 years. This is an unprecedented rise.
This is another area that Microsoft is looking to change. Svore said algorithmic development is focusing on carbon capture, where emissions are captured from mobile sources of carbon in order to take them out of the atmosphere.
This would improve and take steps towards combatting global warming.
3. Advancements in material science
One of the problems with clean energy solutions is held up with problems in material science. Yet, quantum computing could solve some of this issues.
We can study materials on a quantum computer. Problems that would take billions of years on a classic computer, we could solve in a matter of days or weeks on a quantum computer.
For instance, research could look into creating a smart energy grid that would allow for lossless energy transmission. This could make renewable energy sources more sustainable.
There are a lot of concerns about what will happen when we have a functioning, widespread quantum computing in regards to security.
This is because most of today’s encryption is based on factoring, when prime numbers are multiplied together.
It would take 1bn years to find the two prime numbers that I have multiplied together on a classical computer. On a quantum computer, we’re talking about 100 seconds.
Microsoft is working on developing post-quantum encryption to offset this threat: “We have methods to turn to, that we should start turning to now to protect information against a quantum computer.”
As well, Microsoft’s researchers are working on creating quantum-safe algorithms for better privacy and security in the future.

COVID-19 is having a major impact on society. Not only a visible one, because of the appearance of mouth masks, and the measurements we can take in order to stay 'healthy'. But also because it shows us how fragile society is. Suddenly we hear stories about people feeling lonely, people being anxious, upset, burned-out, people being depressed. And in the background of this giant pandemic wave we hear stories of discrimination, stories from people who have felt discriminated for almost their entire life. Racism, colonialism, the white supremacy. Those stories, those themes, those problems were always there. That is why I wanted to do this adaptation of the dutch song 'Menselijke Mensen' of Roosbeef. A song that has really inspired me the past few months. It shows that despite these giant themes in society that influence and affect us, we still are no more than ordinary people strolling trough life.
And to visualize that I asked Lisa Holiday to make an observation in the giant city that never sleeps, where people have always strolled in the streets, New York City. In this one track video she lets the camera slide from person to person, showing us these 'Ordinary people' we all are, trying to make a small impact on the scenery around us.
The video was edited by Jasper Vanhauwaert (Spookstad).
I translated the lyrics. The adaptation of this song was made by Frie Mechele, Jonas Bruyneel and myself. It was produced, mixed and mastered by Jonas Bruyneel in Studio Wellington.

Fall is a gorgeous time to visit Park City. The leaves are turning from their summer greens to deep hues of yellow, orange, and red, and the air is crisp with light wind and maybe a bit of rain—perfect sweater weather. Fall is a great time to unwind and relax by the fire with a cocktail in hand. Or you can explore our huge trail system before the snow hits. The options are endless, the space is wide open, the vibe is calm, and we're happy to have you during the fall months. Here is a list of our favorite things to do in Park City in the Fall.
Get outside and enjoy the fresh, crisp fall air. Two of the best ways is by foot or wheels. Park City has 400+ miles of singletrack with much of it still rideable well into late-fall. Hit a local bike shop for a rental and get an idea of where to go based on current conditions. With the crisp, cool air and endless trails, you'll have no issue finding a truly epic alpine experience. For a few ideas, check out this list of scenic hikes or these must-ride Park City mountain bike trails.
Spend some time on the river and give fly fishing a try with one of Park City's expert guides. Park City is just 15 minutes from the Middle Provo River—a Blue Ribbon Trout fishery—and one of the best spots to cast a fly. Being cool tailwater, the fish thrive in this river. Above and below are the Upper and Lower Provo river sections and in the neighboring Uintas are hundreds of productive streams and lakes. It's best to book a guide though as many of these spots require a special permit for fishing.
Explore the Park City Farmers Market Located at Park City Mountain in the First Time parking lot, the Farmers Market features local purveyors every Wednesday from 12:00-6:00 PM through October 23rd. There is no better spot to grab fresh produce, locally made breads, arts, and find fun activities for the kids. Located at the base of Park City Mountain, it's a no-brainer to grab some snacks and head up the popular Armstrong, Dawn's, or Jenni's trail. Better yet, jump on the Crescent chairlift for a scenic ride and catch the incredible changing colors!
Fall is the time of year to pause and reflect, to take some time for yourself. It's quieter, and the air is cool and fresh. While the vibe is a bit slower and more contemplative this is the perfect time to book a rejuvenating spa or wellness experience in Park City. From yoga to massages, float pools, stretching, pilates, and more, our little mountain town is a wellness retreat in itself, boasting a bevy of businesses committed to making you feel your best!
Spend the day at the High West Distillery in Wanship. Take a tour of the whiskey distillery before enjoying an educational tasting, followed by a delicious lunch at the High West Distillery Blue Sky location. Just to see how these afficionados craft their spirits is worth it alone to witness their passion for distilling and blending. High West is one of the most revered and well-regarded distilleries in the nation. A whiskey touring and tasting in the beautiful Blue Sky Ranch is not an experience to be missed!
When you visit Park City, there really is no reason for a car. Jump on the bus or walk—or check out an ebike from the Summit Bike Share. These bikes have an electric assist to help you navigate Park City's paved path network with ease. Load them up with groceries, use them to get to Main or a concert at Deer Valley, or just take a leisurely ride! There are multiple stations throughout Park City so you can always grab a bike when needed!

For any healthcare facility to survive, they need to have some competence and familiarity with population healthcare management. For the uninitiated, this is an approach to healthcare where facilities or institutions work to improve patient outcomes for specific populations. This involves collating and analyzing patient data to identify disparities in healthcare access, and enacting preventative or early intervention care via patient engagement and coordinated care efforts. This is all made possible with the support of certain financial and/or care models.
This undertaking is not without its own unique challenges and quandaries, but effective population healthcare management is vital to the success of any respectable facility. In this article, we will go over the key challenges presented by population healthcare management, as well as the opportunities and solutions to them.
Challenges and Solutions
Certain patient populations do not have the resources to cover for their own treatment. Some individuals lack stable employment, are underpaid in their current roles with little financial mobility, or are outright impoverished or uninsured. Even among employed individuals, factors like race and gender still lead to significant wage gaps between otherwise similar workers in the same sector. Not only does this lead to unwanted stress and anxiety, but it can also limit a population’s access to healthcare services. Healthcare costs are only rising as time passes, which will continue to hamper a population’s accessibility to crucial healthcare services.
Solution: Improving healthcare access
Ensuring that underserved populations gain the equitable access healthcare to deserve is one of the core tenets of population healthcare management. This can be done through a number of different ways. Programs that tackle root healthcare problems like poverty and poor food quality directly are vital for resolving them, long term. By collaborating with community outreach programs, healthcare facilities can also do their part in expanding healthcare access among underserved populations.
The wage gap is not the only factor that limits healthcare access among marginalized groups. Across the board, minority and ethnic groups have a lower quality of healthcare. Even if they are not trying to, healthcare workers allow misconceptions about the physical traits of ethnic minorities to inform their diagnoses and treatments. One of the most infamous examples of this is the racist notion that black people are more tolerant to pain than white people. This can lead to costly mistakes in pain assessment or anesthesia dosages, which directly increases the chance for misdiagnoses and (worst case scenario) death.
Solution: Cultural competency programs
Cultural competency training is something that healthcare facilities in general need to invest in. It prepares healthcare providers to look past their biases, and communicate with a diverse list of patients from various ethnicities and identities. This cannot remove implicit racial bias completely, but steps have to be made to combat these harmful notions. Other big picture solutions include expanding Medicaid care, which the Commonwealth Fund suggests would significantly reduce racial bias in healthcare coverage.
The Importance of Patient Engagement
If population health management programs want to succeed, they need cooperation and total engagement from their patients. For patient populations who commonly struggle with chronic diseases, patients have to grasp their condition, know how to manage it and act on that knowledge, and consult with multiple healthcare providers whenever it is necessary. A healthcare provider can do their best to make a patient aware of these things, but ultimately the onus is on them to act upon it.
Solution: Encouraging Patient Engagement
Nurses need to do their best to create plans that account for a patient’s specific circumstances. In a majority of cases, patients want to follow their doctors’ orders but cannot follow through for a number of reasons. For example; their transportation could be limited, which limits their ability to consult with certain professionals. Be sure to talk through a patient, with regards to their current situation, and make care plans and recommendations that account for them.
The tip of the iceberg
These are just a handful of the problems that Population Healthcare Management seeks to address. Obviously, the solutions listed above are easier said than done. To properly tackle healthcare inequality or racial bias requires a coordinated effort between multiple facilities, over a lengthy period of time. It is a challenging undertaking, but the benefits outweigh everything else. If carried out correctly, Population Healthcare Management improves patient outcomes across the board and increases accessibility to healthcare services. In that situation, everyone wins.

However, not all destinations offer him the ease and comfort necessary to live his professional activity with passion. Do you want to know more ? We invite you to discover in the following lines some ideas on the best destinations for a digital nomad.
Chiang Mai is the reference destination for digital nomads. It is one of the most beautiful places in Asia. It’s obviously a great mix of modernity and tradition. The city is very lively and we particularly see many scooters taking over the roads. You will have no problem with the Internet connection as it is impeccable.
Moreover, you will meet many freelancer counterparts and even start-ups of all kinds. Better still, the cost of living is average and you are not going to spend a lot of money to survive. The city of Chiang offers a diversity of culinary recipes. It is an ideal destination for digital nomads because you will be well received and will not be disoriented.
In Europe, Berlin is the favorite city for freelancers. The cost of living in this city is lower. In other words, you will not have to spend a big fortune to stay there and carry out your professional activity. Besides, the nights in Berlin are very lively which gives you a special feeling. The city also has a diverse culture that will definitely attract you.
In Berlin, workshops, coworking and cafés are often organized between digital nomads to share experiences. As mentioned previously, accommodation in Berlin is accessible at reasonable prices. So no more worries to worry about, all that remains is to get there.
Bali is another best destination in Asia if you are a digital nomad. It is indeed a very suitable city for working as a freelancer or launching your own online business. The setting is heavenly and better with a very affordable cost of living. You will save around 10 times that in Paris. In Bali, you also have easy accommodation. If you opt for an apartment in the city center, you will not spend more than 170 euros.
This Asian city is very cosmopolitan and has an exceptional nightlife atmosphere. Above all, you will not regret having set foot there and you will not have the desire to return home either.
And where would you go if you were a digital nomad?

Title: Focus: The Autistic Superhero Loves Comic Art! Artist: Yvonne Wan (MSc)
About the artwork: Take the risk and embark on a journey into the unknown.
‘Focus’, the main character of the story, is one of the world’s first autistic superheroes. Autistic individuals are underrepresented in the media, so creating an autistic superhero is an important part towards promoting neurodiversity and inclusion throughout society. Comics are a powerful medium that can change the way society perceives autism and even affect how autistic individuals perceive themselves. One of the golden threads throughout the comic is that autism can be a strength. In this picture, Focus is finding serenity through digital art by using his pen tablet from Wacom. At our Focus Comic free art camp, students love to learn digital art as it is an important aspect of learning how to tell powerful stories.
About the artist: Yvonne Wan is a certified Social Cultural Anthropologist, an award-winning comic creator, writer, and artist. She is the creator of “Focus Comic”. Focus Comic features one of the world’s first autistic superheroes and includes young autistic talent. The project's mission is to entertain and maintain dignity for autistic individuals by removing the stigma associated with autism. Based in Arizona, US, Yvonne runs a free art camp for autistic and special needs kids to help them focus on what they can do instead of what they can’t do. The project supports more than 100 kids a year. It also addresses systemic inequities that come with having autistic kids and children with special needs through the provision of free child development services and extra resources. Yvonne is passionate about enriching the lives of autistic individuals in the community.
About Wacom and Focus Comic: Focus Comic is an Arizona-based comic book company in the US created by Yvonne Wan, offering free workshops to individuals with autism or special needs. Wacom provided Wacom One and Wacom Intuos with a 2-year license from Clip Studio for the students to learn how to draw using digital tools.
The Focus Comic initiative aims to remove stigmas around autism while helping autistic individuals maintain their dignity in an oftentimes harsh society. It also provides a platform of possibilities, such as internships and publishing opportunities within the comic industry. Wacom supports Yvonne's dedication and endeavors to instill a sense of hope in autistic individuals by acknowledging and nurturing the passion and talent of autistic artists.
“I have worked at Wacom for 17 years, and the reason I have stayed here this long is that I respect Wacom’s integrity as a company in its efforts to support initiatives like those at Focus Comics," said Pamela Park, Email Marketing and Influencer Programs Manager. Together with the communities that dedicate their passion and efforts to such meaningful initiatives, Wacom will continue to do its part to contribute to – and ‘spark’ – humanity’s creativity.

In an ideal world, would we not want to eliminate air filters altogether? What keeps us from achieving this is foreign material, detrimental to air, which moves rotating equipment; meanwhile, the process that receives the air sometimes cannot tolerate it. Now that we must live with the filter elements, let us look how improper maintenance can affect you.
In the realm of positive displacement machines, most filters do not require cleaning before they reach a pressure loss of approximately 20 inches of water column (“H20”). That is true for Aerzen filters as well. That is quite a bit of restriction for a filter element. Let us put this in perspective: if you have a house that has an air conditioning system, you also have these neat “furnace” and “AC” filters. Most of them will collapse when they are subjected to more than 40” H20 restriction, and your air flow really drops because the centrifugal fan cannot handle the restriction.
A positive displacement blower or screw compressor can easily deal with this inlet restriction. It will not affect the total air flow of the machine much, as the rotor lobes positively trap the air within the housing and the rotor lobes.

The Entrepreneurial Pastor
"In a society that overvalues progress, development, and personal achievement, the spiritual life becomes quite easily performance oriented: ‘On what level am I now, and how do I move to the next one?’…but it is of great importance that we leave the world of measurements behind when we speak about the life of the Spirit. Spiritual formation, I have come to believe, is not about steps or stages on the way to perfection. It’s about the movements from the mind to the heart through prayer in its many forms that reunite us with God, each other, and our truest selves." -Henri NouwenPastors in America have this innate temptation to think like entrepreneurs, like CEO's even. And there's nothing inherently wrong with that. In fact, if entrepreneurship implies creativity and forward thinking, then it's gotta be a good thing! But when the entrepreneurial values of progress and achievement take hold of the Pastoral imagination, danger lurks. The pastor falls prey to all kinds of assumptions and expectations that should be alien to the practice of pastoral ministry. The concept of spiritual growth can be confused with spiritual achievement. The fruit of the Spirit can be choked by the weeds of self-fulfillment and successful advancement. The church's ministry can be replaced by the church's expediency in society. And the result is pressure... pressure on the Pastor... pressure on the congregation... pressure to do better, do more, be more faithful, grow, mature, and do all the other things a good business is supposed to do. This is the Western (the American!) thing to do!
This kind of entrepreneurial ambition is fine in some places, but it's not fine in the church... it's never unambiguously synonymous with good ministry, and it's never synonymous with healthy spirituality. Spirituality and human ambition fall on opposing sides of a spectrum. Spirituality, I would say, is a continuous practice of returning to the futility of human ambition and the supremacy of divine action. If there is a spiritual version of ambition, it is only the ambition of discovering Christ in us, ourselves in Christ, and discovering Christ in the wounds of the crucified God. As Jurgen Moltmann has said, "prayer is not an athletic sport..." (this was said in the question and response period following his lecture at the Princeton Karl Barth Conference in Miller Chapel just last night).
Ministry is about God's action (ministry, after all, is not ours but God's). God's action is about relationship. And relationship, as it concerns God insofar as we can discern from Jesus' words, is about friendship. We are made friends of God in Jesus Christ (even as we remain God's enemies in so many ways). So if we can apply the principles of entrepreneurship and ambition to ministry, we can only do so to the extent than we can apply it to friendship. But while entrepreneurship implies a concern for strategy and strategy is birthed in anxiety (and I do not mean this pejoratively) over our place in the system, our success in maintaining our relevance or influence, friendship necessarily precludes this anxiety. Friendship does not fret over its place. It's temperature does not need always be taken. It is a sign, in fact, of trouble in our friendships when we are concerned with the status of them. We can be entrepreneurial in many things, but we cannot be in our friendships... so we cannot be in ministry. We can be creative, yes. We can be purposeful. We can even take up a strategy (if we're careful). But we cannot centralize our concern for success or status. We cannot shape our ministry around the desire for an outcome (read: profit). We must not be so concerned to do things for God. We must, instead, be concerned with God--the God who is love and loves us. We must centralize our own weakness and need for God, our friend. It is not upward mobility that marks ministry and spirituality, but downward mobility. It is not by the metric of a successful business that ministry is measured but by the servanthood that returns no profit, even the washing of feet.
Entrepreneurship implies a desired outcome--call it influence, development, "transformation," or whatever. Ministry is its own outcome. Friendship is its own outcome. For it is in friendship that God encounters us... and ministry is all about God's encounter with us.

How To Choose The Right Domain Extension
Domain names are a cornerstone of any company’s identity, and choosing the right domain extension is a crucial decision. While the domain name is usually chosen to dovetail with a brand name or key product line, its suffix speaks volumes about a firm’s ethos and expertise.
Choosing the right domain extension is a significant step. But with over a thousand top level domains currently available, how can consumers make an informed choice? In this article, we outline some of the key decisions, before suggesting a possible source of inspiration…
Should I choose a country code TLD?
There are two main types of domain extension – those relating to a country, and those defining an industry or service. Country code TLDs exist for almost every nation on Earth, helping to distinguish domestic websites from international ones. Search engines take this into consideration as well, so a website with the .fr ccTLD (or country code top level domain) will perform better in French search results than anywhere else in the world. Although some companies attempt to spell a name or brand using a ccTLD for the final letters, it’s inadvisable from an SEO perspective. Conversely, a company trading in foreign markets would be well advised to register ccTLDs in each nation, to boost its position in domestic search results.
Should I choose a product-specific TLD?
In the 1990s, the choice of generic TLDs was limited. Yet since 2001, ICANN (the international non-profit organization responsible for regulating website domains) has launched hundreds of product and industry-themed TLDs. These range from .accountant to .wedding, providing a clear indication of a website’s subject matter or focus. That means the main domain name alone doesn’t have to convey this information. However, the analysis suggests consumers are less willing to visit websites with niche or little-known TLDs. And since web traffic volumes are a key factor in SEO performance, a vicious circle of low visitor numbers may ensue.
Should I choose a quirky TLD?
History is littered with companies using TLDs in unusual or imaginative ways. So many tech firms adopted the .io ccTLD that ICANN eventually reclassified it as a generic TLD. And social media bookmarking platform del.icio.us was clever enough to harness the American .us ccTLD when spelling out its name, even though .com has always represented .us in American results. However, in the same way spelling out a brand or product name using a ccTLD is risky, so is launching a website with a comedy title like .sucks or .plus. Competitors will mock them, consumers won’t trust them, and the entire business could fail. Would you trust a site hosted at .here or .lifeinsurance?
Should I just choose .com?
If ccTLDs are nation-specific, while niche domains are potentially alienating there’s a clear argument for simply choosing a.com address. The first TLD ever created remains by far the most popular, with 46.5% of website addresses ending in .com. By comparison, the next most popular domain (.org) commands barely five% of the worldwide market. There’s no doubt .com is a safe, universally acceptable option – the cyberspace equivalent of a grey suit or a black dress. Yet it’s typically the most expensive TLD on the market, and with the least number of available domains. Its ubiquity also means a .com address won’t stand out in the way a more unusual TLD might – which is potentially a blessing or a curse.
Should I register multiple TLDs?
In the 1990s when domain choice was restricted, some firms registered multiple domain name extensions and redirected all but one to a primary website. Nowadays, it would be impractical to register every possible TLD on the market, while search engines disapprove of empty sites almost as much as ones containing duplicated content from other sites. Unless you have distinct sub-brands or want an SEO-friendly domain extension in every country you trade in, multiple TLDs won’t be necessary.
If you’re still unsure how to proceed, WestHost’s homepage will check availability for hundreds of different TLDs. Simply enter a domain name, and scroll through the options to see whether a particular domain extension stands out, or rolls off the tongue easily. You might just find inspiration…

The dawn of next-gen digital insurance heralds a transformative epoch, reverting the industry's spotlight back to its core – people. This reinvigorated, people-centric paradigm in digital insurance seamlessly integrates the astuteness of insurance agents with the convenience of customer self-service, crafting a harmonious symphony of personalised interaction and technological ease. Let's delve into how next-gen digital insurance is reshaping the industry landscape with a renewed human touch.
Elevating the Essence of Insurance Agents
Contrary to popular belief, the digital age is augmenting rather than eclipsing the significance of insurance agents. Agents are metamorphosing into personalised advisors, harnessing digital tools to dispense astute, well-informed counsel. Through digital platforms, agents can delve deeper into understanding customer requisites, trace their insurance trajectories, and proffer bespoke solutions attuned to their unique life circumstances.
Unleashing Customer Autonomy via Self-Service Options
Next-gen digital insurance also champions the ethos of customer empowerment through self-service avenues. Customers are now bestowed with the prerogative to oversee their policies, lodge claims, and peruse insurance data at their discretion, transcending temporal and spatial constraints. This self-service paradigm resonates with the modern consumer's yearning for autonomy and on-demand accessibility.
Yet, this autonomy doesn't equate to solitude amidst the labyrinthine insurance milieu. Digital platforms are meticulously crafted to be intuitive and user-centric, ensuring customers traverse a frictionless journey. Furthermore, when confronted with intricacies or seeking guidance, agents remain just a click or call away, poised to furnish bespoke assistance.
Cultivating Robust Customer Rapport
The amalgamation of agent engagement and self-service capabilities in next-gen digital insurance engenders fortified customer relationships. Customers laud the expediency and efficacy of digital interfaces, yet they equally cherish the human touch and sagacious counsel agents dispense. This dual-faceted approach cultivates an aura of trust and fidelity, wherein customers perceive unwavering support and empathetic comprehension throughout their insurance odyssey.
Next-gen digital insurance transcends mere technological prowess; it's a human-centric endeavour. By synergising the proficiency of insurance agents with the versatility and autonomy of customer self-service, the industry is forging a more adaptive, empathetic, and customer-centric blueprint. This people-first ethos is the linchpin of next-gen digital insurance, ensuring that even as the industry metamorphoses, the quintessence of human connection remains inviolate at its core.

For the third year in a row, boaters will put their sailing skills to the test at the Whidbey Summer Classic Regatta, an Oak Harbor Yacht Club event that runs Friday, July 28 through Sunday, July 30.
The competition will take place in an area that includes Penn Cove, Saratoga Passage and Crescent Harbor. People can watch the colorful races from various places in Coupeville. Sail Fleet Captain Aaron Hale said this year’s event will be bigger than in past editions, with 25 boats registered as of July 25. He will compete as well, on board his San Juan 28, which he named Argosia.
The race begins each day at noon. The participating boats will be separated into different categories but will race at the same time — only their start time and courses will be different. Hale recommends people watch from the restaurants on the waterfront to comfortably enjoy a good view of the race.
The winners will be announced Sunday and will be determined through a low-point system — commonly used in sailing competitions. The boat that arrives first will get one point, while the boat that arrives third will get three. After each race, the points are added and the boat with the least amount of points wins.
The event will also include field games, a DJ performing Friday and live music Saturday by band Soul Siren.
All skill levels are welcome to register by Thursday, July 27. For more information, visit whidbeyclassic.com.

Check Your Trail Cams Carefully
Unfortunately, the best scouting tool you may have in your arsenal, can quickly become a double edged sword. Believe it or not, when and how you access your trail cameras can directly affect the number of mature bucks on your property. Practicing when to check your trail cams can pay huge rewards when it comes to attracting and holding a unpressured deer herd.
Checking trail cameras and swapping SD cards is often compared to Christmas morning, by die hard deer hunters. However, what most hunters don't take into consideration is how their trail camera management affects their hunting success. Sure, it's great to get photos of bucks, but if you spook your target bucks when collecting their photos, whats the point? I assure you, it is worth being patient, and strategically checking your trail cameras when the most opportune time arises.
Low Impact Trail Cam Managemen
The best method for checking your trail cams is when you can do so, without any risk of spooking deer. There are three important trail cam management concepts to follow, in order for you to maintain the integrity of your deer hunting parcel:
1. Avoid doubling your intrusions
Are you already on your land to hunt or retrieve a deer? Then make sure to check your trail cams on the way to or from.
2. Weather Rules!
Nasty weather in the form of heavy rain, wind or snow can often provide the perfect amount of cover to access your trail cams without spooking deer.
3. Weeks of trail cam forgiveness
Are you leaving your hunting grounds and not returning for 2-3 weeks or more? Then finish your evening hunt and use the time to pull your cards or change your batteries under the cover of darkness. By the time you return, the deer will have forgiven your intrusions.
Trail cameras have undoubtedly changed the game of scouting whitetails. Knowing the what, where, and when's of mature buck movement plays large roles in the way I hunt. However, trail cam use can lead to major obstacles in your pursuits if you neglect to check them properly. Sometimes it only takes one careless intrusion to spook a mature buck that you may be after. So be smart, plan ahead and learn when to check your trail cameras wisely.

Patz & Hall Hyde Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay is an illustrious wine hailing from the idyllic region of Carneros, California. It presents a symphony of delectable scents such as peach, vanilla, and citrus, inviting indulgence. Considered an opulent wine, the palate is beautifully crafted with flavours of lemon curd, green apple, and toasty oak. This Chardonnay displays a refined minerality, a plush mouthfeel, and a commendable balance of acidity, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and sophistication. It is unabashedly Californian yet meticulously refined - an ample testimony to Patz & Hall's exceptional winemaking mastery.
Hyde Vineyard has justifiably become one of the superstar vineyards in Carneros. Through many years of dedicated research, planting and winemaking, Larry Hyde has developed two of the most important grape selections in California: Hyde-Wente Chardonnay and Hyde-Calera Pinot Noir. Both are noted for extremely low yields, primarily due to the very small berry size within each cluster. The Chardonnay from Hyde is some of the most sought-after fruit in the pantheon of great California vineyards This Chardonnay is from blocks planted exclusively for Patz & Hall in 1999 using the famous “Hyde Wente” selection of Chardonnay. This vintage shows classic characters of delicate white flowers, honey, orange peel and toasted almond. A slight whisper of faraway camp fire accents the fresh green apple and butter cookie notes in the mouth. This wine is at once delicate, powerful, elusive and evocative. A classic year for this iconic site.

Review of "Teenage Ghost Punk" by The Headless Critic
Teenage Ghost Punk – 2014
Production by: Dog & Stick Productions
When a family moves into their new home, little did they know they were going to be haunted by a Teenage Ghost Punk rocker. If it’s name didn’t give it away, this isn’t a horror movie. Made more for tweens I’m guessing. It would be difficult for any adult to enjoy this. Then again, this reviewer doesn’t have kids. Maybe this is what all you parents out there are watching.
Here’s a biased review from an adult, for a movie not made for my age group. Not a horror movie in any sense of the word. If I had to classify this, I would label it a Halloween themed spoof, made for kids. It came across looking like a tv episode from Nickelodeon, the Disney Channel or ABC Family. Even if you’re thinking of getting Teenage Ghost Punk for your kids, be warned that this may be hard to sit through with them.
With comedy that’s pretty far over the top, I guess I could understand an argument that this movie is comparable to 1985’s The Heavenly Kid. For some reason it also reminds me a bit of 1988’s Earth Girl’s Are Easy. That could just be the resemblance I saw between our lead male ghost punk rocker Brian played by Jack Cramer and actor Jeff Goldbum. The similarities end in their resemblance and doesn’t transfer over to their acting abilities. Though I’m sure Jack Cramer resembles Teenage Ghost Punk writer/director Mike Cramer more since they share the same surname.
Maybe it’s my age that I just don’t find this the same quality of movie and the aforementioned 1980’s fair. This may be something your kids might like but this one's not for horror fans or even adults.

Safety investigators want more technology to prevent close calls on runways
WASHINGTON — An air traffic controller’s mistake led to a near collision between two jets on a foggy runway in Austin, Texas, last year, the National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday.
Investigators also called for critical safety technology and additional training, which they say might have prevented the incident, as federal regulators grapple with a growing number of close calls on runways across the country including one last week at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
There was dense fog and poor visibility at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on the morning of Feb. 4, 2023, when an air traffic controller cleared two planes to use the runway at the same time. A FedEx cargo plane had permission to land, while a Southwest Airlines jet carrying 128 passengers and crew was also cleared for takeoff.
Investigators say the FedEx plane aborted its landing at the last moment when the first officer saw the left position light and silhouette of the Southwest plane on the runway, soaring back into the air while the Southwest jet proceeded with its takeoff.
At their closest, investigators say the two planes were 150 to 170 feet apart.
“This incident could have been catastrophic if not for the heroic actions of the FedEx crew,” NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said during the board meeting.
Investigators say the air traffic controller in Austin could not see the exact location of the Southwest jet on the taxiway and incorrectly assumed that the plane was ready to take off when he told the pilots they were clear to enter the runway.
“We had two aircraft within 200 feet of each other, and that should not happen,” board member Michael Graham said.
“The system failed in this event,” Graham said. “If it was not for FedEx crew’s last-minute go-around, we might be having a different discussion today."
The first officer on the FedEx plane, Robert Bradeen Jr., was in the audience Thursday and received an ovation.
The NTSB previously told a Senate committee that a shortage of air traffic controllers is leading to fatigue and distraction. But investigators said Thursday that fatigue was not a factor in the Austin incident.
However, investigators did fault the Federal Aviation Administration for not requiring the Austin airport to have technology in place to detect the precise location of planes on the ground.
The NTSB said such technology might have prevented the incident. The controller told investigators that he couldn’t see the plane from the tower and was relying on the sound from its engines to know when it was preparing for takeoff.
The FAA announced recently that it would begin installing a surface detection system at some airports, including Austin, by the end of 2025. At least 35 major U.S. airports already have some form of technology designed to prevent runway incursions, according to the FAA.
But the NTSB says the deployment isn’t happening fast enough. Investigators are recommending that all major airports be equipped with a system that tracks the movement of aircraft, determines their proximity to each other, and provides air traffic controllers with visual and aural cues of their surface movements.
The U.S. has seen a growing number of close calls on runways across the country in recent years. There were 23 of the most serious runway incursions in 2023, according to FAA data, compared to 16 in 2022.
Homendy said there have been at least seven such incidents so far in 2024 and that the NTSB is currently investigating several more.
“The somber truth is, it only takes one. One missed warning, one incorrect response, even one missed opportunity to install lifesaving technology can lead to tragedy," Homendy said. “We are trending in the wrong direction."

Breaking down the PR debacle that is Kate Middleton's Mother's Day photo
ROB SCHMITZ, HOST:
Princess Kate finally reappeared this week after having abdominal surgery - well, sort of. The royal family released a photo of the Princess of Wales and her children on Sunday in honor of Mother's Day in the U.K. But shortly after the picture came out, it went viral because it looked doctored. It prompted a public relations disaster for the palace and made people wonder what's really going on with Princess Kate. Joining us now to discuss this PR debacle is Pop Culture Happy Hour host Linda Holmes. Hey, Linda.
LINDA HOLMES, BYLINE: Hi.
SCHMITZ: So we have, most of us, seen this picture. There are some inconsistencies with the clothing, the children's hair. Kate apologized to the public a few days ago. She said that she had edited the picture herself. Why was that not enough to quash these rumors that the palace is hiding something?
HOLMES: Well, back in January, the palace had said that Kate had had surgery and would be recovering privately until at least Easter, which is March 31. As far as I know, that's still what's happening. And even though they said not to expect regular updates, the lack of updates or pictures of her led to this spiraling speculation about whether something else was going on and to this idea that she was missing. And that had really revved up by late February. So when this photo was posted, the palace didn't say it was current, and they didn't say it was - you know, look, she's fine. It was just a photo of her and the kids on Mother's Day.
But because people were already speculating so much, especially, I would say, on TikTok, having this sort of clumsily edited photo show up fed this idea that something was afoot. And later, as you said, we see this message marked as being from Kate, saying she personally edited the photos, which I think people just didn't believe. I don't think they thought that she was in there messing with the clone stamp tool or whatever on photos that wind up getting officially released. So in the end, it made it worse.
SCHMITZ: Yeah. So what does this photo scandal say about the royal family's relationship with the press this year? You know, in the past, it seemed like they were better at controlling the narrative.
HOLMES: Yeah, the royal family is pretty famous for being controlling about coverage around, say, Diana or Harry and Meghan. This has looked like kind of a clown show, honestly, and maybe that's because the narrative isn't built by tabloids as much as it once was. It's built in this decentralized way, so you can't go and negotiate with TikTok or Reddit and come to an agreement with them the way you can with a newspaper. And I think the palace miscalculated the risks of just struggling to get control of this speculation and ultimately feeding into it.
SCHMITZ: So Linda, where does the palace go from here?
HOLMES: I think what options they have depend on what the story really is. I think they probably should have stuck to we'll let you know. People still would have speculated, but they might have avoided pouring gas on the fire. And honestly, privacy is hard when being a public figure is sort of your only job. So I don't know anybody will ever have the kind of opacity that the queen had, for example.
SCHMITZ: That's Pop Culture Happy Hour host Linda Holmes. Thanks, Linda.
HOLMES: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

In the world of anti-discrimination law awards of money against employers for psychiatric injury or illness caused by sexual harassment by one of their employees have been rare and low, typically in the range of $12,000 to $20,000. Similarly, the anti-bullying jurisdiction of the Fair Work Commission has seen limited orders made to prevent further bullying where claims have been made, and compensation is not available as a remedy for bullying behavior.
But things are changing, especially in the area of sexual harassment where awards of damages for psychiatric illness are increasing. This reflects change in societal attitude towards this type of conduct that has (finally) started to be reflected in judicial pronouncements.
The spectrum of mental harm that can be experienced by victims of sexual harassment or bullying covers depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) any of which can be debilitating for a significant period.Continue Reading Damages in sexual harassment and bullying claims – the stakes are rising

About McLaren Falls and “Marshall Falls”
McLaren Falls and “Marshall Falls” were two different waterfalls in close proximity to each other that I’m focusing on for this page.
The latter resided in the McLaren Falls park while ironically, the namesake waterfall sat outside the park.
By the way, I had put “Marshall Falls” in quotes because it sat near the Marshall’s Animal Park within the McLaren Falls Park.
When I compare the two waterfalls, I tend to think of “Marshall Falls” as the prettier and more free-flowing waterfall though McLaren Falls had so much more potential before being sacrificed for hydroelectricity.
McLaren Falls tended to exhibit only a few strands of falling water amidst bare rock. In my experience, I saw the falls in a similar disappointing state.
I was told that the Wairoa River would be released at specific times of the year (on 26 mid-Summer to mid-Winter days).
Thrill-seeking kayakers or canoers would embrace the dam release times to get their adrenaline rush running the whitewater.
The only other times it would have any chance at flowing like its former self would be during times of very heavy rains.
To access the base of McLaren Falls, I saw that it required a steep scramble. Down at the base, I noticed pools leftover from the lack of flow on the Wairoa River.
I’d imagine that they might be swimming holes under such circumstances.
However, I understand that people have been killed here in the past trying to access those pools as there existed some fatally tall drop-off hazards here.
I’d recommend using extreme caution if you’re determined to have a swim here.
“Marshall Falls” and the Waterfall Walk
As far as “Marshall Falls” was concerned, I had to drive a bit deeper into the McLaren Falls Park (see directions below).
There were helpful signs as I drove through the park, and so I leveraged them while navigating some of the one-way roads to get to the signed car park for this “Waterfall Walk”.
At that point, I went on a very easy ten-minute return (probably takes even less time than that) bush walk that left me ample time for sitting comfortably on the bench at the end of the short track.
The bench allowed me to admire the attractive horsetail-shaped waterfall without any additional exertion.
McLaren Falls and “Marshall Falls” reside in the McLaren Falls Park near Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty Region of North Island, New Zealand. They are administered by the Tauranga City Council. For information or inquiries about the area as well as current conditions, visit their website.
From the SH29 and SH2 junction near the city centre of Tauranga, I drove about 16.5km southwest along SH29 to the McLaren Falls Rd on my left.
I then followed this paved road for a few minutes (maybe less than a kilometre or so) before reaching a bridge.
Just before this bridge was the car park for McLaren Falls.
Continuing beyond this bridge, I drove the narrowing paved road until I saw the signed entrance to McLaren Falls Park on my right.
After entering the park, the road became unsealed gravel, and I’d slowly follow the mix of one-way and two-way roads before getting to the signed car park for the Waterfall Walk.
The maze of one-way roads made it tricky for me to leave the park, but the key was that I had to accept that I was going to leave going a different route than when I came in.
It actually took me a while to figure that out, but if you’re not in a hurry, then this wouldn’t be too much of an inconvenience.
For context, Tauranga was about 2.5 hours drive (without traffic) or 211km from Auckland. Tauranga was also about 90 minutes drive (105km) east of Hamilton, or under an hour drive (64km) north of Rotorua.

It’s probably not what a spy agency wants – but the Federal Intelligence Agency is making headlines.
The director, Christian Dussey, took up his role two years ago and found a workplace that was sorely in need of modernization.
Reports from CH Media suggest the country’s spies are more concerned with internal politics and not the outside world and the organisation is in ‘chaos’
A new role is needed and a job is being advertised.
Officially the agency is seeking someone skilled in ‘transformation control’ but it’s being nicknamed a ‘chaos killer’.
The job advert says the new roles requires ‘perseverance’. There are not many details with the advert.
The agency says applicants will be told more when necessary.

Of 3 estimates, they were the most comprehensive and knowledgeable about inside waterproofing and outside waterproofing. Very educational and answered questions that the other companies weren’t versed in. Part of the outside work couldn’t be estimated until they did a deeper look into my crawl space. The outside additional work was worth it, because I had some hidden water damage. I trust them. Darius was very educational with the initial estimate and explanation. Milton and his crew worked very hard to get things done right. Corinne from the office was helpful and kind.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says it will once again consider the collective environmental impacts of high-capacity wells on state waters when warranted. The move comes after Attorney General Josh Kaul withdrew a contested opinion limiting the agency’s authority.
High-capacity wells can draw more than 100,000 gallons per day for irrigation or other industrial uses, but they’ve raised concerns due to waters drying up in some areas of the state.
Adam Freihoefer, the DNR’s water use section chief, said the shift affects the department’s review of high-capacity wells that may impact navigable waters or municipal water supplies.

Sign up for WPR’s email newsletter.
“We’re looking at the proposed well, and all existing environmental impacts from existing wells when we’re looking at if there’s an adverse impact to those resources,” said Freihoefer.
On May 1, Kaul withdrew the 2016 opinion issued by former Attorney General Brad Schimel in a letter to the DNR, saying two court rulings had since “concluded” or “implied” Schimel’s interpretation was wrong. DNR Secretary Preston Cole had questioned whether the opinion was still valid.
Schimel had argued the DNR didn’t have the authority to weigh the cumulative environmental impacts of high-capacity wells or require monitoring. The state’s former top legal advisor pointed to a 2011 law known as Act 21 that limits the regulatory authority of state agencies to what’s expressly written in state law.
Schimel’s opinion countered a 2011 Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling, known as the Lake Beulah decision, that found the agency does have the power to consider when such wells harm state waters. He noted Act 21 was passed shortly before the decision, saying the Court was right not to consider the law or apply it retroactively.
The DNR began approving a backlog of high-capacity well applications based on the opinion, sparking legal challenges from environmental groups.
The state’s business lobby, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, called the DNR’s decision “extremely irresponsible” since cases challenging the opinion are still pending before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Scott Manley, the group’s executive vice president of government relations, said the change creates confusion for those seeking a high-capacity well permit.
“It’s really unfortunate because I think what the DNR is doing is probably contrary to the law, certainly irresponsible, and it’s creating more problems and raising more questions than it’s answering,” said Manley.
Manley said businesses and local governments are being left in the dark over what standards the agency will apply when reviewing high-capacity well applications.
The DNR said it will consider environmental impacts when reviewing a high-capacity well application if there’s “sufficient concrete, scientific evidence of potential harm.”
The agency said it may consider additional conditions for high-capacity well approval if it results in greater than 95 percent water loss. It may also impose conditions if a high-capacity well results in significant environmental impacts or impairment of a public water supply when combined with existing wells.
Applicants may be asked to change the location, construction, or amount of water proposed to be withdrawn.
Environmental group Clean Wisconsin supports the DNR’s shift in review of high-capacity wells, saying Wisconsin experienced a large giveaway of water based on Schimel’s opinion.
“We’re just really pleased that DNR is going to be able to do its job again and base decisions for appropriate water use for high-capacity wells on science,” said Amber Meyer Smith, vice president of government relations for Clean Wisconsin.
She said the state can strike a balance with water use while still allowing industry to make a profit.
Freihoefer said around 15 high-capacity well applications are pending right now with six that are currently under review statewide. He added the DNR’s goal is to review and issue a decision on those applications within 65 business days of receiving a complete application.
“We certainly don’t want to end up in a situation where we have a large backlog of high-capacity while applications,” he said. “That’s not good for the department and it’s not good for the regulated community to have to wait on the decision.”
The agency has approved 737 high-capacity well applications since Schimel’s opinion was issued in 2016, according to the DNR.

The river continues to recede and is close to the 20 feet mark. Some streets are being opened in Prairie du Chien. Remember – if there are barricades across the street, that street is still closed. The city says debris removal will start as the water recedes, and they ask for your patience while they attempt to accomplish what they can while still dealing with high water. City and County Officials will continue to meet and share updates throughout the cleanup efforts. If you have sandbags and you want to dispose of them, you are asked to take them to the city parking lot behind the radio station. Cut open the bag and place sand in a pile and discard the sandbag in the trash receptacle that has been provided.
The flood has delayed the opening of the popular Cassville Ferry which runs across the river between Southwest Wisconsin and Northeast Iowa. Operators of the ferry announced on social media that the ferry was scheduled to start operating on Friday, but won’t be opening due to the high water levels. There is a good chance it won’t operate at all this month. Operators say they will have another update in two weeks.

The understanding of the genome and the application of it has seen revolutionary progress. In the 90’s for example, there was a heated debate on strategies to develop sustainable resistance in potato against late blight: use horizontal or vertical resistance was applied and criticised by different groups cq camps in the CGIAR and f.e. Dutch researchers.
This, among others, led to controversies about use and multiplication of new varieties in a development project in Bolivia. In retrospect, with more knowledge on the genome, we can say that neither of the camps were right.
What can we learn from such historical debates in the light of current contested gene-related technologies?

Google is undertaking a large citizen science project for the Great American Eclipse of 2017. The goal is to obtain photos from many different locations along the path of totality. The goal is to study the Sun’s corona in great detail. The corona is still not fully understood and most of our observations of it have been done with radio waves. The eclipse of 2017 provides a unique opportunity for many people to obtain data on the corona with visible light waves. Google will use the photographs taken all over the country and combine them together into a movie so we can see how the corona changes over a short amount of time. The data taken for this experiment will be available to the public as well.
Another goal of this project is to study the phenomena caused by valleys on the Moon known as the diamond ring. This will be done so that a more accurate measure of the Suns size can be determined.

Another fantastic display of football by Lions. Great team football created numerous chances for Lions, with Liam Jenkins scoring 2 great goals from some lovely runs and passes through midfield. Lewis had another great game and Lions welcomed the return of Tom Foy after a few weeks of injury, with Tom making his presence felt in defence, partnering up with Luke, to cause Chase Stags forwards some difficulties. Chase Stags did come back and score 2 goals, making the game a 2 – 2 draw. Both managers and parents agreed the game was fair and exciting to watch, so the draw did probably represent the game well.
Keep up the good work Lions !
Man of the Match was awarded by the parents to Liam Jenkins.Illegal Tender video

ACR Asks Radiologists to Help Find Congressional Sponsors for the Find It Early Act
October 24, 2024The American College of Radiology (ACR) is encouraging its members to contact U.S. representatives to support the Find It Early Act (H.R. 3086). This bipartisan bill, introduced by Representatives Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-3) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-1), aims to enhance early breast cancer detection by ensuring insurance covers supplemental breast imaging at no cost to patients. Currently, insurance coverage for these screenings varies widely, often resulting in out-of-pocket expenses and potential care delays. The Find It Early Act seeks to eliminate these gaps, mandating coverage for essential follow-up imaging across all insurance programs, including private plans, TRICARE, and the VA.

What if a niche builder of old school gentleman’s conveyances turned modern luxury goods manufacturer made a passenger drone?! This far out question is the inspiration for the Bentley Skylounge – a class-defining mobility concept for the Brit brand. With Skylounge, Bentley customers can enjoy the privilege of traveling wherever they want, whenever they want. Through vertical takeoff and landing, the craft takes passengers door to door without any additional infrastructure.
The interior is as lux as you’d expect with a large lounge area and seats that transform into a bed position for full relaxation. The pilot seat in the front is lowered in order to guarantee a full panoramic view for the passengers while glass elements in the floor provide additional transparency to the giant panoramic greenhouse.
The exterior silhouette results from familiar fragments typical of Bentley lines and curves. The centered roof line extends front to back as s stylish element as well as a functional stabilizer. It also continues into the inside of the cabin as an ambient light, connecting exterior and interior.

Workshops & Courses
Lift off: Creative Arm Balance Transitions & Variations
Found your float but not sure where to go or how to improve?
A workshop for improvers and playful exploration through inversion and arm balance.
Do you ever feel like there’s never enough time in a 60min all-levels vinyasa class to truly play with arm balances and inversions?
Or like creative ways in and out of them are left behind, cued as a single one-sentence option with no direction?
Join me to explore less familiar transitions in and out of arm balance. Focused on entries, exists and stability in arm balances, this workshop is designed so you can take lots of new tools into your existing flow and balancing practices and refine their quality of movement no matter where we are entering from or going to.
Join me 2-4pm Saturday 30th March
at MoreYoga Elephant & Castle.
We will be preparing the body and proprioception with conditioning drills.
We will learn how to support one another in the practice because inversions are more fun with friends: yoga is all about deepening the relationship to self and how we connect to the world around us after all.
4 week course
The course is for you even if you are a complete handstand beginner, if you want to build strong and healthy foundations to balance on your hands, and especially if you feel scared about the concept of being upside down.
Handstands are more fun with friends. They require a bit of dedication and discipline. The 4-week course aims to create an upside-down community to support one another, physically as well as to motivate and keep each other accountable if that feels needed.
We will meet at Soma Yoga four Sundays in a row from 10:30 am - 12 pm, starting January 28th.
Book the full course for £80 or single drop in sessions for £25!
WEEK 1: Conditioning and partner prep/ drills To build trust and confidence together. If you have ever tried to handstand likely you found a moment of float before the panic of not knowing what to do or how to stay. Learning the theory and understanding of what makes a handstand, and building the strength and muscle memory before getting upside down means that when we eventually get there, we’ll have less to think about.
WEEK 2: Entry / exit, Kicking up to the handstand and cartwheeling out. We will break it right down and rebuild it together. Introducing spotting and wall drills.
WEEK 3: Alignment We will revisit some of our drills from the first weeks, and add some new ones to help us deepen our understanding of handstand alignment and apply them upside down.
WEEK 4: Balance and spotting Learning to balance means feeling where the weight is and how to catch it when it falls out of alignment. The biggest teacher is time, our focus will be on spending a bit more time on our hands and how to make adjustments upside down.

Putting wheels on the bottom of suitcases is probably the best invention of the modern travel era but what happens when you have more than one wheeled case to pull along? Usually, you end up with one going in one direction and one heading in the complete opposite.
Of course, you can always pick up a trolley at the airport or train station but often you can only take them so far and more often than not, you have to pay for the privilege.
So, imagine if there was a simple gadget that would enable you to stack your many trolley cases and carry-on bag? Well, you’re in luck. This handy luggage stacker from Travelon enables you to pile three or four bags on top of each other and pull them along easily, together.
The stacker will fit neatly in your pocket or travel bag when not needed – i.e. when you’ve checked in your bags – and can be easily attached to your cases when you’re on the move.
It’s available from luggage retailers, as well as online from Fishpond.com.au for $31.07, with free postage Australia-wide.
