Assailant Faces Assault and Burglary Charges, Details of Bizarre Attack
A Malibu woman has been taken into custody on charges of assaulting actor Charlie Sheen, 58, at his residence this week.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to a disturbance call related to battery around 1 p.m. on Wednesday. Electra Schrock, the alleged assailant, was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and residential burglary, as confirmed by the sheriff’s department in a statement to USA TODAY on Friday. Schrock’s court hearing was slated for Friday, December 22.
The sheriff’s department statement noted, “Upon contacting the parties involved, deputies identified Charlie Sheen as a victim of assault.” Although the incident reportedly occurred at Sheen’s residence, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s department declined to provide additional details, as reported by the Los Angeles Times and NBC News. Schrock, 47, is facing felony charges, according to sheriff’s department booking records. Sheen called 911.
If convicted on the assault with a deadly weapon charge, carrying force likely to cause bodily injury, Schrock could face a sentence of up to four years in state prison or one year in county jail, in addition to a potential fine of up to $10,000. The residential burglary charge carries a maximum sentence of six years in state prison.
According to TMZ, a source close to Sheen mentioned that he had a conversation with the woman following a prior incident involving a car, suggesting an attempt to reconcile. Additionally, it was reported that the woman had dumped trash in front of Sheen’s door a day before the alleged attack. The woman was subsequently arrested at her residence on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and burglary for allegedly forcibly entering Sheen’s home and assaulting him.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, farmworkers in Mexico and worldwide were deemed essential to the economy and continued in-person work. Consequently, farmworkers have been at greater risk for COVID-19 than the general population. Most studies on the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality among farmworkers have been conducted in the U.S. and Europe, and little is known about the risk to farmworkers in low- to middle- income countries (LMICs) like Mexico.
Mexico is the world's largest producer of avocados, accounting for approximately 45% of global production. About 85% of avocados from Mexico are grown in the state of Michoacan. Nevertheless, the health effects of pesticide exposure among avocado workers have not been previously assessed. In this study, we aimed to (i) initiate a binational collaboration, integrating the extensive experience of the UC Berkeley researchers with their long-term investigations of farmworkers in California, and the Mexican researchers with their comprehensive understanding of the local context and avocado farming; (ii) assess COVID-19 knowledge, obstacles to preventive behaviors at work and at home, and mental health effects of this pandemic among farmworkers from Michoacán; and (iii) determine whether pesticide exposure affects the neurobehavioral and respiratory health of workers from avocado farms in Michoacán.

If you’ve been in church for any length of time, you’ve probably heard of the freedom that we have in Christ. YES, in Christ, we are alive and free, but oftentimes, we see little evidence of that freedom in our daily lives. As a result, we accept a false or incomplete way of seeing freedom. We may even say, “The Christian life works for
everybody but me.” God wants so much more for us and has given us access to His more! Powerful and enlightening, The Transformed Life is a 3-week class that helps us see the most common reasons we remain stuck when it comes to change. It provides tangible tools that can shift our old way of thinking while enabling us to transform our walk with Christ and to take us places we can’t even imagine!

A power meter is a device that measures the power generated during a cyclist’s ride – an essential part of cycling training. The device is mounted on the left arm of the Shimano crankset. ANT + and Bluetooth Low Energy allow you to connect to a wide range of bicycle computers and sports watches. In addition, you can connect INPEAK power measurement with a smartphone and use many applications for data analysis and recording. The use of inertial IMU sensors and data filtering algorithms minimizes the negative impact of vibrations coming from ground unevenness to zero (MTB off-road driving, losses in asphalt, cobble stones). Precise and accurate readings of the generated power regardless of weather conditions are ensured by the automatic ATC temperature compensation mechanism in the range from -5 ° C to + 50 ° C. The meters are waterproof, which ensures reliability in all weather conditions – you don’t have to worry about mud, rain, dust, just ride! Due to the low power consumption, it is rare to replace the battery. Thanks to BLE technology and the INPEAK Manager mobile application, you can wirelessly update the power meters firmware. The devices are manufactured in the EU.
The left crank arm on the bicycle should be replaced with the purchased product.

Engineers have developed a prototype tablet display that compensates for an individuals’ vision problems.
The system uses software to alter the light from each individual pixel on the screen, based on the person’s glasses prescription.
The researchers also added a thin plastic pin hole filter to enhance the sharpness of the image.
The team say the technology could help millions who need corrective lenses to use their digital devices.
Around one person in three in the UK suffers from short-sightedness or myopia. In the US, around 40% while in Asia it is more than half the population.
In recent years there have been a number of projects that have attempted to use computing screens to correct vision problems.
The authors of this latest study say their prototype offers “significantly higher contrast and resolution compared to previous solutions”.
Follow the light
The team from the University of California, Berkeley, working with colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), developed an algorithm that adjusts the intensity of each direction of light that emanates from a single pixel in an image, based on the user’s specific visual impairment.
Their prototype used an iPod, with a printed pinhole mask attached to the screen. To check the images, the researchers used a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera which was set up to simulate a person who was farsighted.

Today, Break The Internet! Save Net Neutrality!
Tomorrow is the FCC vote, so today join in to Break The Internet.
People around the country today are joining in to Break The Internet and send a message to Congress to save net neutrality. Tomorrow the FCC is scheduled to vote on net neutrality and is expected to roll back protections that keep the internet free and open to all. Democrat Senators have called on the FCC to push back the vote in recent weeks. However, now some Republicans are joining in and calling on the FCC to delay the vote. Whether the FCC will listen is unknown.
Net Neutrality In A Nut Shell
Currently the internet is classified as a “utility-like tool for communication“, like the telephone, which protects the internet from predatory business practices. The FCC wants to re-classify the internet as an information service which would allow companies to prioritize certain websites and give them better service. Essentially your ISP provider could decide they like Hulu better than Netflix, so they give you great internet speed and reliability when you go to Hulu. However, since they don’t like Netflix, they can give you slow and unreliable speed when you go visit Netflix. These FCC changes, would mean your ISP provider doesn’t have to provide equal service and equal access to all websites. This is potentially particularly harmful for smaller upstart websites as they are more likely to not be prioritized.
How to Break the Internet
Battle For The Net is circulating the above picture and asking everyone to use it as their profile picture on all their social media platforms. Other tactics include adding “married to the internet” as your Facebook status. Or you can add “Defending the Internet” to your job description on LinkedIn. There are all sorts of ways to join the protest. Get the full story on all the ways to join in with the Break The Internet protests at BattleForTheNet.com.

Dealing with a once-thriving tree that’s now lifeless and unsightly can be frustrating for any homeowner. Whether due to disease, pests, drought, or other environmental factors, a dead tree can be both an eyesore and a potential hazard. But beyond that, a dead pile of wood standing upright is a scary situation for all involved.
That is absolutely right—removing a dead tree poses significantly more challenges than dealing with a live one. For tree removal professionals, dead trees present a unique set of risks that require heightened caution and expertise.
Here are some of the specific challenges that come with removing dead trees:
- Increased Time and Cost: All these added challenges mean that removing a dead tree typically takes longer and costs more than a live tree removal. It requires more careful planning and execution, which drives up both labor and equipment costs.
- Increased Risk of Falling: Dead trees are structurally compromised, making them far more unpredictable. Branches can snap or the trunk can splinter with little warning, increasing the risk of accidents during removal.
- Unstable Wood: The wood in a dead tree is often brittle and decayed, which means standard cutting techniques may not apply. This instability can lead to sudden shifts in the tree’s weight, making it difficult to control the fall direction.
- Heightened Safety Measures: Due to the increased risk, removal of a dead tree requires enhanced safety protocols. This might include additional rigging, specialized equipment, and more personnel on-site to ensure the job is done safely.
- Limited Room for Error: With a live tree, there’s often a bit more leeway for adjustments during the removal process. However, dead trees leave no margin for error; a single miscalculation can result in serious damage or injury.
- Potential for Property Damage: Because dead trees can break apart unexpectedly, the risk of damage to surrounding property is higher. Extra precautions must be taken to protect nearby structures, power lines, and landscaping.
The Bottom Line – A dead tree should be taken down as soon as possible. Doing so will help eliminate many of the associated risks and ensure the safety of the homeowner, their property, and the tree care providers tackling the job.

It’s like my second home- I love walking in and chatting to the staff. I also love that there are so many options from using weights and machines, to jumping into classes such as Reformer Pilates.
What’s your favourite type of exercise?
This changes a lot. My favourite type of exercise is to play touch football or netball, and the work I do in the gym is to make sure I can do it well.
Outside of the gym, how do you like to spend your time?
I love everything sport from playing touch footy and netball, to watching it and supporting the Canterbury Bulldogs and Collingwood Magpies.
What are your fitness goals and what are you looking to achieve?
My goals are to stay fit, healthy, and strong so I can keep improving at touch football and netball. I also want to be strong and healthy as I get older.
You have been training with C-Life Personal Trainer Noor for a period. Can you describe how Noor has improved your physical health?
Noor is the absolute best personal trainer. We’ve trained together for 8 years, and he has helped me achieve some weight loss goals, help me recover from various injuries and keeping me strong, fit and fast so I can play sport. I don’t know what life would be like without my one hour a week PT session with Noor.
What is your favourite cheat meal?
Chocolate (particularly Lindt) – if I could, I’d have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Customizable Reporting on the Dashboard
Merchants would like to be able to customize the time frames and content for reports on the main Clover dashboard screen
We are rolling out much of the requests in this request this quarter. Please enjoy our new reporting features. If you don't see your ask by the end of the quarter please feel free to come back and add your specific need.
Scott Commer commented
The merchant needs to be able to go back more than 3 months for items sales report and should be able to filter it by items versus seeing the whole report.
If they go back more than 3 months it ends up being an excel spreadsheet emailed which is not good. -
Linda Schuyleman commented
Until yesterday, 12/06/22, I could to to my dashboard, then to payments - transactions, put in the date range I needed and print the report of that date's "Successful Payment Summary" which showed each transaction. I could also print refund data, void data. Yesterday the only thing that prints is the summary page, none of the transaction detail.
What Happened? This report made it easy for me to balance the credit card detail to my general ledger. Can't do that now. -
Mobile Support (Crimson) commented
Merchant called in about reporting not being able to show him hourly sales reporting for month instead of the day.
David Pustinger commented
It would be helpful to see gross margin daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually. Important information to have to effectively manage a business.
Jolie Pavent commented
Merchants would like to easily compare sales to different time frames i.e. this February 2019 to February 2018 or Wednesday of this week to Wednesday of last week. This month to last month etc.
MERCHANT IS REQUESTING TO HAVE THE NEW DASHBOARD INTERFACE CHANGE.
RESOLUTION:MERCHANT IS REQUESTING TO HAVE THE DASHBOARD INTERFACE CHANGE, HE IS REQUESTING THAT THE KEY NUMBERS, REFLECT TOTAL AMOUNTS AND AVERAGE TICKET INSTEA DO F DISCOUNT AND GROSS AMOUNTS,MERCHANT ALSO WANTED HIS NET REVENUE SHOULD REFLECT THIS DAY LAST YEAR NOT LAST WEEK. -
I called in yesterday asking about this as well, but my support person didn't record my request correctly at all.
It would be VERY helpful for MOST merchants to be able to see this data averaged out over specified time period to be able to seasonal trends as well.
Clover already captures this data it should be pretty simple to program this function.
I downloaded the Dashboard Business Analytics third party App and it, at least, lets me see previous data, but still will not create a graph for averaged data over a specified time period.PLEASE create this for us!
He wanted to be able to see the chart graph for ANY time period and not just for that day.
Rich Ketterman commented
I’ve had a few merchants ask about the hourly net revenue report and it being available for previous days. Currently it will only show for current day sales on the home dashboard page. Most merchants know what their busy time is but always nice being able to see an actual report. Also if they could make it customizable to show the amount of orders/transactions done as well.
Merchant would like for the previous day net revenue info to be displayed with net revenue for today and this day last week

Over the years, one grab that still continues is the Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon (or Bacon’s Law). Film fans worldwide attempt to get back to the iconic actor by connecting his former co-stars to him in seven steps or less.
The Guardians of the Galaxy have taken this game to a new level with their latest Holiday Special. During the filming of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn got the band back together to celebrate the season with a bit of galactic hi-jinks. One that officially introduces the Footloose actor to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Summary: After the attack on Knowhere and the reversal of ‘the snap,’ the Guardians team purchased the spaceport from the Collector. Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) leads the rebuilding process and seems to be experiencing the signs of the holiday blues. Most of the Guardians hear the story of how Yondu Udonta (Michael Rooker) spoiled Christmas for Peter as a child from Kraglin Obfonteri (Sean Gunn), So, Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Drax (Dave Bautista) put together a plan to lift their leader’s spirits.
This unlikely pair heads to Earth to find Peter’s lifetime idol and bring Kevin Bacon back to help celebrate the season. Even though their plans are meant for good, this duo does wreak havoc on Los Angeles and neglects to realise how their actions will impact everyone involved.
Review: One of the many advantages of the Guardians’ placement within the MCU is how James Gunn has based their storyline in the comedic realm and enhanced it with a fantastic soundtrack. These elements provide a somewhat believable background for this holiday special, as it leans into the campier aspects of this unlikely band of alien warriors, since audiences have come to expect the unexpected.
The setup takes some time, and the first two acts contain ridiculous considerations that make way for a surprisingly satisfying conclusion. As Marvel attempts to touch on every aspect of cinema with this Disney+ infused era, it makes sense that they would try to make a Christmas special. Not that it breaks any new ground for the overall MCU arc. Still, some components make this a must-see for fans and seasonal fun for those just coming on board. This film contains mature content that may not be suitable for younger children.
Reel Dialogue: Bringing Home the Real Inspiration of Christmas
Peter Quill may wish to have Kevin Bacon join him for Christmas dinner, but most of us might want to consider someone else to invite this year. For those who celebrate the holiday, the top of your guest list may contain family and friends. These choices may give us all a glimpse of the spirit of Christmas, while in the end, they may leave you less than satisfied. Have you ever thought of inviting the person whose birth is the true meaning of this time of year to your festivities?
For an authentic celebration of Christmas, Jesus has to be at the centre. Gifts are lovely, food can be fantastic, and time with family can be enjoyable. Yet, to experience the reason for the season, give time to acknowledge what the angels celebrated on this day years ago. “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests.” That is a celebration like none other since it is the meaning behind the holiday. Regardless of how the food turns out, this gives this time of the year a richer and more fulfilling purpose.
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” – Luke 2:14

Callus Induction and Cellular Suspensions from Murtilla (Ugni molinae Turcz.) for trans-resveratrol Production
- 1 University of Concepción, Chile
- 2 University of Alicante, Spain
The present study reports for the first time the quantification of resveratrol and the use of biotechnological techniques applied to stilbene productions in species from genus Ugni and calli production from adult explants (fruits). Resveratrol is synthesized by a series of families of higher plants, which has generated much interest in recent years for its antioxidant, anticancer and antitumor properties, which would allow longevity of cells to be prolonged. In this study, leaves and mature fruits were collected from three sites in Southern Chile and correspond to three ecotypes of the Chilean endemic species Ugni molinae Turz. (murtilla). These were established in vitro to prepare the callus and subsequent development of cellular suspensions for trans-resveratrol production. Our results showed that these stilbenes are present in murtilla and that their concentrations vary between ecotypes and tissues, reaching up to 553.5 µg g-1 of t-resveratrol produced in ecotype 3 callus. These values are relatively higher than those found in other plant species. Under optimum culture conditions, extraction of resveratrol from Ugni molinae is scalable to industrial levels, which makes it a viable alternative for obtaining stilbenes.

Sanguinaria canadensis, bloodroot, is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant native to eastern North America. It is the only species in the genus Sanguinaria, included in the poppy family Papaveraceae, and is most closely related to Eomecon of eastern Asia.
Sanguinaria canadensis is sometimes known as Canada puccoon, bloodwort, redroot, red puccoon, and black paste. Plants are variable in leaf and flower shape, and have been separated as a different subspecies due to these variable shapes, indicating a highly variable species.
In bloodroot, the juice is red and poisonous. Products made from sanguinaria extracts, such as black salve, are escharotic and can cause permanent disfiguring scarring. Although preliminary studies have suggested that sanguinaria may have potential applications in cancer therapy, clinical studies are lacking, and its use is not recommended.

The Google August 2024 core update has now concluded its rollout, marking a significant shift in search engine results. The update, which began on August 15, 2024, and wrapped up on September 3, 2024, has had a noticeable impact on rankings and overall search visibility. Here’s an overview of what this update means for website owners, digital marketers, and SEO professionals.
Key Takeaways from the August 2024 Core Update
The August 2024 core update took a substantial 19 days to complete, reflecting its extensive nature. Unlike routine updates, this core update was designed to address feedback received since the September 2023 helpful content update. This previous update was criticized for its adverse effects on many small and independent publishers, leading Google to make adjustments in the August update to improve overall search quality.
The core update has led to notable ranking fluctuations and changes in search results. While some sites have experienced positive changes, others have faced setbacks or no significant impact. It’s essential for website owners and digital marketers to understand the implications of these changes to adapt their strategies effectively.
Insights from Recent Polls
A recent poll conducted among digital marketers and website owners revealed the mixed effects of the August 2024 core update:
- 44% of respondents reported a decline in rankings and traffic.
- 27% saw improvements in their rankings and traffic.
- 29% experienced no significant change.
These results highlight that while some sites may benefit from this update, many others may not see significant gains. The mixed feedback suggests that the update has not uniformly impacted all sites, reinforcing the need for continuous monitoring and adjustment of SEO strategies.
The Impact of Previous Updates
The August 2024 core update was partially a response to the September 2023 helpful content update, which had a detrimental effect on many smaller publishers. Despite some recoveries reported after the September update, they were limited in scope and not universal. This core update aimed to balance the scales and provide relief to those affected by the previous changes.
However, it’s crucial to recognize that recoveries are not guaranteed for all sites. While the August update has led to some positive shifts, many sites are still grappling with challenges or maintaining the status quo. This underscores the importance of staying updated with Google’s algorithm changes and adapting SEO practices accordingly.
Addressing the Ranking Bug
In the initial days of the August 2024 core update, a significant ranking bug was reported, affecting search results. This issue persisted for the first four days before being resolved. As a result, any ranking changes observed during this period should be disregarded when analyzing the update’s impact.
For a more accurate assessment, website owners should compare their rankings and traffic from this week onward with those from the weeks leading up to the August core update. This comparison will provide a clearer picture of how the update has influenced search performance.
Moving Forward: What to Do Next
Given the complexity of Google’s core updates, it’s essential for digital marketers and website owners to stay proactive:
- Monitor Performance: Regularly track your website’s rankings and traffic to gauge the impact of the core update. Use analytics tools to identify trends and areas for improvement.
- Optimize Content: Focus on creating high-quality, relevant content that meets user intent. This approach aligns with Google’s emphasis on delivering valuable search results.
- Review SEO Strategies: Assess and adjust your SEO strategies based on the latest updates. Ensure your website adheres to best practices and stays competitive in search results.
- Stay Informed: Keep up with industry news and updates from Google to stay ahead of changes. Participate in discussions and forums to share insights and learn from others in the field.
The Google August 2024 core update has brought significant changes to search rankings and visibility. While the update has had a mixed impact on different sites, understanding its effects and adapting your strategies is crucial for maintaining and improving your search presence. Stay vigilant, optimize your content, and continually refine your SEO practices to navigate the evolving landscape of digital marketing.

The post USDT Issuer Tether’s Wall Street Banker Becomes Trump’s Pick for Commerce Chief: Reports appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The competition for the role of Treasury Secretary in Donald Trump’s administration is intensifying. Though Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, emerged as top contenders, Trump picked him for commerce chief.
Trump Picks Tether’s Wall Street Banker
Donald Trump, the incoming U.S. President, prefers Howard Lutnick, the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and a big supporter of cryptocurrencies who has long worked with the major stablecoin company Tether, to be his Commerce Secretary instead of Treasury Secretary.
Although Lutnick was a strong contender for the Treasury role, recent reports suggest his favor with Trump has faded. His proposed nomination for Commerce Secretary, despite his involvement in Trump’s transition team, seems to confirm this change.
Cantor Fitzgerald, headed by Howard Lutnick, is a leading player in the financial sector, especially known for its significant presence in the bond market. The firm is one of the select few that acts as a primary dealer, authorized to trade directly with the Federal Reserve.
It has also ventured into the cryptocurrency space. Since 2021, Cantor Fitzgerald has assisted Tether in managing the substantial amount of U.S. Treasuries that support its USDT stablecoin. Additionally, the firm recently launched a bitcoin financing venture, providing loans to bitcoin investors, starting with an initial investment of $2 billion.
While two sources believe the decision is final, Trump has not publicly confirmed the appointment and is known for making last-minute changes. They spoke anonymously as the announcement has not been officially made.
Lutnick Might Boost Trump’s Crypto Influence
As Commerce Secretary, Lutnick would be crucial in carrying out the President’s economic and trade policies. The role covers a wide range of federal policies, including those related to semiconductors, cybersecurity, and patents.
Lutnick’s connection to Tether shows the wider relationship between the cryptocurrency industry and many other individuals Trump is likely to appoint to key roles in his next government. Trump has often highlighted his backing from the crypto sector, which now has strong connections to members of both political parties.
He expressed his enthusiasm for crypto, specifically bitcoin, during a CNBC podcast last year, stating that he only supports bitcoin and views other coins as insignificant. He also mentioned his strong support for a stablecoin named Tether.
Lutnick has made the case that bitcoin should be regarded as a commodity, which would subject it to less regulation than other financial instruments like stocks or bonds. He believes that bitcoin’s lack of central oversight and its resistance to censorship make it superior to other cryptocurrencies.
Donald Trump’s political influence on crypto seems to be strong as his social media company is nearing a deal to acquire Bakkt, a cryptocurrency trading platform owned by Intercontinental Exchange. The company, Trump Media and Technology Group, where Trump plans to keep his 53% ownership, is discussing an all-stock deal to buy Bakkt, according to two people familiar with the discussions.

Denver Personal Injury Attorney: Most Common Personal Injury Claims
According to Denver personal injury attorney Mark A. Simon, a personal injury claim arises when someone is injured because of the negligent acts of another person. These injuries can occur in a number of different ways, but there are some that are more common than others. Here’s a look at the most common personal injury claims in Denver:
Accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians are by far the most common type of personal injury claims. These accidents occur on a daily basis and can range in severity depending on several factors, including the type of vehicles involved and the speed at which the vehicles were traveling. For example, an accident involving a truck and a motor vehicle is typically more catastrophic than an accident involving two cars because of the size of trucks.
No one ever expects to be injured while at work, but unfortunately, this is another common type of personal injury claim. Some of the most common workplace injuries include strains, sprains, lacerations, fractures, and chronic illnesses due to exposure to certain chemicals. If you are ever injured while on the job, you are entitled to workers’ compensation. See the top 5 most common workplace accidents and injuries here.
Doctors are supposed to help people, not cause them harm. But, doctors are human and are bound to make mistakes. If a negligent doctor causes you harm, you may be able to file a medical malpractice claim to recover compensation for your injuries. There are various types of medical malpractice, but the most common form is misdiagnosis. For example, let’s say you visit the emergency room and are told by a doctor that the symptoms you are experiencing are from anxiety and not a heart problem. If you are truly experiencing a heart problem, you won’t get the treatment that you need because you were not diagnosed correctly. This could result in serious injuries, which means you would be entitled to file a medical malpractice claim against the negligent doctor.
Slip and Falls
If you visit a neighbor’s house, retail store, amusement park, hotel, or any other type of private or public property, you shouldn’t have to worry about injuring yourself. Property owners are responsible for ensuring that their properties are in good condition and free from hazards. If they fail to do so, they could be held liable when someone slips, falls, and hurts himself because of a hazardous condition on the property. For example, if the property owner fails to clean up a puddle of water on the floor and a visitor slips and falls because of it, the property owner could be held liable for the visitor’s injuries.
If you have any questions about whether you are entitled to compensation after an injury, personal injury attorney Mark A. Simon can help. If you have been injured because of someone else’s negligence, call us or contact Mark A. Simon to discuss your right to recover compensation during a free consultation.

Going by the side roads
There is a great woman among our Sacred Heart sisters, who wrote of the side-roads and their spirituality (as opposed to the highways). Janet Erskine Stuart, rscj, was the superior general of the order 1911-1914, and she wrote an essay called "Highways and By-ways." "By-ways" is what we would call side-roads.
I'm on vacation at a house we have in the mountains in California, and I'm learning a little about the side-roads. To get to this house, you have to go 5-10 miles in either direction on a winding road up and down mountains through the redwoods. It's spectacular. Of course, I can't actually take a picture of it (since I'm driving in it!!) but you can imagine the smell of the forest, and the sickeningly-windy roads going through it. (I do mean sickening. I'm not sure I would want to be a passenger traversing these roads!)
These days have brought back to me the feel of growing up in Montana, and the vacations we took when I was a child to visit my extended family in Oregon. The smell of the trees alone brings memories and happy feelings to my heart! Ah!
A little snippet of Janet Stuart's essay on the highways and by-ways.... She contrasts the two ways, that by the highway, one is trying to "arrive" at the destination. The journey is not about the journey at all, but about getting to a final location in a speedy fashion. In contrast, the side-roads attract those who are on a journey, for whom the journey is more important than anything else. She says of the side-roads:
“There pass the inspired people, the seers, poets in contemplation, shepherds and sons of the soil who hide behind irresponsive faces strange gleams of the unseen world, shadows of inarticulate fears, and hopes still more unutterable. There pass village children gathering flowers, and gypsies in quest of forbidden things, and crazy, harmless wanderers perhaps wiser than the sane, and all the uncounted seekers after that which can never be known, and lovers of that which always lies beyond. The people of the other world are attracted to the by-ways, where the mysteries call them onward, and the shy nightingales sing, and the stress of life is lifted off, and the ticking of time is still, where it is no longer the chronometer that divides the seconds, but the sun that rules the day, and the moon and stars that govern the night; where life seems larger because of silence and calm, where the soul may be invaded and taken captive unresisting by the power of the world to come, where the mind learns to rest in the Lord and wait patiently for the heart’s desire, where the conviction grows that at long last all things come home to their God, Ad Te omnis caro veniet!”
Her language is so lovely! And I pray that each of us find the path to a heart open to being "taken captive" by God, resting there in love.

I am trying to have my airtable automatically assign someone a category based on the date range that their entry falls in.
Specifically, if someone’s birthday is within their zodiac sign dates, I want it to assign them that single select in the zodiac field.
For example, Aries is March 21- April 19th. If someone enters the form with the Birthday as April 1, I need it to add the single select of “Aries” to that record.
I know that this needs to be an IF() formula, but I am having troubling getting adding in the date without a year. If I have to make it with a year, then this field will have to be updated yearly, which isn’t the end of the world, I just need to know if there is a way to do a date range only using Days & Month.

I have the Rx 580 as well and was getting the driver not installed properly error. The regedit thing didn't work for me because there was no AMDryzenmasterv13 or v14 or anything besides v19 to delete. I have tried everything and finally came to the conclusion that anything above Radeon Software version 21.8.2 does not work. So I used amdcleanuputility.exe to remove everything AMD related then installed version 21.8.2 and the newest Ryzen Master and it works perfect every time. I have tried every version after 21.8.2 and they all got that error message. Hope this can help someone!

I've been using DrivePool for a long time on my Windows Server 2012R2 box. I'm on the current build of DrivePool (934).
I'm currently getting random BSODs that seem to suggest a failing piece of hardware. Memory passes, CPU isn't overheating... so, it's not good.
I also have a Mediasonic eSATA / USB 3.0, 4 bay drive box (that DrivePool uses via eSATA on this Windows machine).
My issue is this: I'm not replacing this machine. I also don't have another machine with eSATA on it.
I bought a Synology, and need to get the data off this box (the Synology has eSATA, but it's purposely not compatible with non-Synology devices).
The Synology copy tool (via USB 3.0) from the Mediasonic box doesn't quite make me feel like I've gotten all the data off my individual drives.
And Resilio seems to be having issues finishing up a Sync operation due to the BSODs.
Here's my question:
Can I install DrivePool on a Windows 10 machine, plug in the Mediasonic via USB 3, and have DrivePool find my existing pool so I can do some file copying?
Thanks for any help!

So I just installed the Scanner after using Drivepool for about 15 days now, however, with both of my disks I get "The on-disk SMART check is not accessible on any of your disks". Also, this http://prntscr.com/7a7lgz. However, smartctl seems to give me SMART data. Any ideas on how to fix? I'm currently using a HP Proliant Gen8 Microserver.
I tried unsafe DirectIO but that did not seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated

8 Solutions In 1 for Microsoft Dynamics GP? I’m Stopping To Take A Look!
Every Year at the Annual Microsoft Convergence Conference, I scour the expo floor looking for a ‘golden nugget’ of a solution for my clients. This year I may have discovered the product that many of my customers could really benefit in using. This product seems to cover all the “Add-On” modules we’ve promoted to our customers across the Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable functions of the system. The Best Part? Instead of looking at 15 different booths’ products and ending up with 5 different vendors, partners can bring just ONE additional product and vendor to the mix.
Over the past 17 years in the Microsoft Partner channel, I have worked very diligently to find “Add-Ons” for Microsoft Dynamics GP to further automate our customer’s ERP systems. I have some extremely solid relationships with many “ISVs”, who have written solid products to extend the reach of Microsoft Dynamics GP. We check references, test the product, go through implementations and integrations, and of course make sure our customers will get MORE than what they pay for. So, when a new one (ISV product) comes along, we are open, but cautious.
This year the ‘treasure’ we are now ‘evaluating’ is Enliven Software’s Fidesic Platform. It allows customers to pay ‘by transaction’ for a variety of services across the Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable processes… I have worked with them to create a “Enliven Features Wheel” to help show our customers all the possibilities that exist within their platform.
In a nutshell, Enliven Software’s Fidesic Platform offers:
- AR electronic invoicing - Delivery of sales documents via email, fax, or US Mail directly from GP.
- AR electronic cash receipts – Allow customers to see account history, open sales docs, and pay from a branded portal – Download payments and applications directly into GP.
- AP receipt of purchasing documents via 7 different methods from suppliers/vendors & Conversion into electronic documents (with OCR, error checking, and GL coding options)
- AP electronic document routing/workflow/approval – Download directly into GP.
- AP electronic payments to suppliers/vendors via ACH or MICR check – Route through payment approval workflow.
- AP Vendor Account Center for vendor payment notification, online remittance and self-managing payment account information.
What else? All of this is offered in a SAAS model on a hosted site. So when we talk about length of Installation, Implementation, Setup, and Training – it is a matter of MINUTES instead of WEEKS! Instead of using all the words in my previous sentence, they call it an “ACTIVATION”. We joked about the demonstration of the system being longer than the actual time it would take to get it up and running for someone.
No upfront costs, no annual maintenance, just pay as you run the transactions through the product.
Now comes the legwork on our part – testing the product platform, comparing prices and functionality, looking at ROI…but their pricing model is set to get less expensive per transaction the MORE you use the various pieces of the platform.
I’ll write again once we investigate this discovery a little more – but you better believe I’m going to put my 17 years of knowledge to work before putting all my eggs in one basket. On the other hand, imagine how much easier it would be to carry one basket!
I am NOT saying that this product instantly replaces ALL the incredible features my favorite partners have put into their modules – I just know that for some customers, a simple layer (platform) that contains features they do not have access to at all currently, may be the perfect answer.

In what is being called the next chapter of the Internet, Google Fiber is coming to Austin.
City and state leaders joined Google officials April 9 to announce that Austin will be the second city to receive the Google Fiber technology. In short, Google Fiber will provide another option for Internet and TV service that Google officials say is significantly faster than what is currently available in Austin. Google officials say they expect the first homes to be connected in mid-2014.
"Google Fiber will change how we live, how we work in ways we don't even know about yet," Mayor Lee Leffingwell said. "But it will all be for the better."
Google Fiber's Gigabit Internet connection will be about 100 times faster than what is available today, Google Fiber Vice President Milo Medin said. For comparison, broadband Internet was about 100 times faster when it started than a dial-up modem, he said.
"Speed matters because it's the foundation for future innovation on the Web," he said.
Austin was one of more than 1,100 communities that applied in 2011 to be the first city to receive the Google Fiber technology. While Kansas City ended up being the first city chosen, Leffingwell said the community's enthusiasm inspired city leaders to remain persistent in getting the service.
Google Fiber General Manager Kevin Lo said the positive response from Austin's community and city leaders were the major reasons the company chose Austin as the second city for the service.
The cost for Google Fiber TV and Internet service has not been finalized, but Lo said he expects the price to be comparable to Kansas City, which is $70 per month for Gigabit Internet and $120 per month for Gigabit Internet and TV service, which includes hundreds of channels and a DVR with the ability to record up to eight shows at once.
Lo said Google will provide free broadband Internet, which will have average Internet speed, for at least seven years for customers who pay a $300 construction fee. Google will also connect select public institutions to Gigabit access for free.
Following the April 9 announcement, Google officials said they are immediately working to start building the infrastructure needed for for the Fiber network. Google will build the network in the neighborhoods, which will also be known as fiberhoods, where enough people sign up to make it feasible, Medin said.
Austinites can sign up for updates and to say they would like Google Fiber in their community at https://fiber.google.com/cities/austin.
"Austin, and Texas as a whole, has a legacy of inspiring other cities and states throughout America, and we know that you will use your creativity and this Gigabit network to help write the next chapter in the story of the Internet, not just for Texas, but for the U.S. and the rest of the world," Medin said.

The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW 63) came to an end this week at the United Nations in New York City. News reports warn that the U.S. seeks to decrease the rights of women and girls by taking away an international “right” to abortion in UN resolutions. Based mainly on propaganda from far-left political interest groups, this information is inaccurate and misleading.
The U.S. has long been a leader in policies and aid supporting the expansion of women’s rights around the world. Under the Trump administration alone, major initiatives have been launched in three sectors where the advancement of female equality is sorely needed increasing economic empowerment and entrepreneurship, increasing diplomatic and security participation and decreasing the technological or “digital divide” of women and girls. Research shows that women and girls face inequalities in all of these areas and initiatives like this can elevate women by targeting the main challenges they face. In addition, these initiatives reflect the strategic objectives of gender empowerment goals.
In contrast, the promotion of a so-called “right to abortion” that dominates liberal narratives at the UN does none of these. … [Read More Online at The Hill]

Our Cantilevered Pool Deck Edge Is Perfect for Fiberglass
Posted on January 11, 2015
One smart option is with a cantilevered concrete pool deck edge. In the past, many people didn’t like fiberglass pools because they were said to often resemble bathtubs. There was no good looking way to apply a modern looking edge to them, so these pools simply met the surface at a roughly 90 degree angle and that was it. To many, this gave them the look of a bathtub. To many, it just looked like a cheap solutions to a pool.
Thanks to a cantilevered pool deck edge, though, fiberglass pools are now just as fashionable as those made from concrete. Not only can fiberglass pools take on all kinds of shapes and hold them against a good deal of pressure or change in temperatures (which can cause cracking in concrete versions), now they can also have a beautiful deck and edge to them as well.
Obviously, this is a good thing for customers. They don’t have to choose between the fiberglass pools they want and a concrete model because the latter can actually have a cantilevered edge. However, this is good news for you as well. Like we mentioned earlier, being able to install a cantilevered pool deck edge means you can make more from each installation.
However, this now means you can install more fiberglass pools as well. If your customers are familiar with them from years ago, let them know a cutting edge look of a cantilevered pool edge is now a possibility. Like any other pool, there are a number of different options for the pool coping edge. Meaning they can make theirs as distinct as they like or simply blend it in with the pool deck and general style of their property.
Thanks to a cantilevered pool deck edge, your customers don’t have to shy away from fiberglass. Use this to your advantage by offering them a number of different options to choose from and keeping them happy in the process.

Top rated Cat T-Shirt online shop: Social media has also played a very significant role in the rise of cat shirt fashion. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have become breeding grounds for cat lovers, with countless accounts dedicated to showcasing the cutest and most fashionable cat shirts. Influencers and celebrities have also jumped on the trend, further fueling its popularity and making cat shirts a must-have item for fashion-forward individuals. The popularity of cat shirt fashion can be attributed to its versatility and broad appeal. Cat shirts come in various styles and designs, making it easy to find a shirt that suits their taste. Whether you prefer a subtle cat print or a bold and vibrant cat graphic, there’s a cat shirt. Discover even more details at Cat Hoodie.
Another hot and trending t-shirt design is cartoons. They were all over vogue, with funny, amusing, comical and entertaining images. T-shirt printing has exploded in 2024 and will be seen throughout the seasons. Whether you are a serious Comicon fan or a general lover of cartoons and comics, there will be a t-shirt design for you. The gothic t-shirt design trend is big for 2024. Think skulls, skeletons, mythical creatures and you are on the right track. With beautiful typography and impressive custom logo design, this is one trend that is going to grab everyone’s attention this year. The array of illustrations are impressive and will deliver a plethora of choice for the consumer.
Though the t-shirt was created in the early 20th century, it was rare to see it worn as anything other than an undershirt. It wasn’t uncommon to see veterans wearing a t-shirt tucked into their trousers post-World War II, but outside of that, t-shirts were almost exclusively used underneath “proper” clothes. In 1950, Marlon Brando famously donned a white t-shirt as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, only to be followed by James Dean in 1955’s Rebel Without a Cause. Thanks to these two founding fathers, the popularity of the t-shirt as a stand-alone outerwear garment skyrocketed. Not only was the t-shirt as an outer-garment becoming acceptable, but it was also being associated with a movement of rebellion.
But the type of t-shirts you wear define your taste and choice. Design your own t-shirt if you have a particular design in your mind. They show your attitude and personality. Even companies use t-shirts as a branding tool for their businesses. Fashion of nature-inspired t-shirt designs will be huge in 2024 as the influence of nature and environment on designers as well people increase over the years. From big floral prints to natural textures such as furs, this year has brought with itself earthly prints that are refreshing as well as interesting to see. T-shirts having animal-inspired prints such as of dragonfly or butterfly wings will also be right on style! The best part of this trend is that it’s multi-seasonal.
One emerging T-shirt trend that feels distinctly 2024 is the structured muscle tee. Brands like The Frankie Shop and Reformation have released their unique iterations of the look, further solidifying its growing appeal. Mimicking the chunky-knit trend that dominated the sweater-sphere, textured T-shirts à la Sabina Socol and Diane Kari are going strong into 2024. From pointelle to mohair, the style will add visual interest to your standard tee-and-jean uniform.

In the 10 years that Wendy Arriz has been a real estate agent in New York City, she’s seen some of the best, selling ultraluxe new-construction homes, as well as lower-priced properties. But she’s also seen some of the not-so-best work out there.
“One of the things I’ve seen, even in the ultraluxe real estate market, is that there is not the attention to detail in craftmanship that you’d expect from new construction,” says Arriz, a broker at Warburg Realty Partnership. “I can’t even tell you what some of my clients have had to deal with. In some cases, they have punch lists that are pages long. As an agent, we’re not trained to know how to
attack that for a client.”
You’re probably asking yourself the same question Arriz has asked herself plenty of times: if a home is newly built, shouldn’t it be perfect? Absolutely, says Marnie Oursler, owner of Marnie Custom Homes in Bethany Beach, Del., and host of DIY Network’s Big Beach Builds.
Ensuring your home is built to the highest standards and that you won’t have any major repairs to deal with soon after moving in comes down to the things you do before purchasing a home, says Oursler. Before signing any contracts, research the homebuilders you are interested in working with to gauge customer satisfaction. And, don’t be afraid to ask builders questions.
Oursler suggests speaking with past clients to see how satisfied they are with their home and how the builder dealt with any changes or repairs. “That’s going to give you a lot of good insight,” Oursler says. “No process is going to be smooth the entire way. You have to trust and know the builder.”

The Significance of Local Community Involvement in Carbon Credit Projects
As the world grapples with the climate crisis, carbon credit projects have emerged as a powerful tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These initiatives allow businesses and organizations to offset their carbon footprints by investing in activities that either absorb carbon dioxide or prevent its release. However, the success of these projects often depends on the people who know the land best: Indigenous peoples and local communities. Their involvement is not just a moral imperative but a strategic one, ensuring the sustainability, equity, and effectiveness of these efforts.
This article highlights the critical role of Indigenous peoples and local communities in carbon credit projects, focusing on equitable participation and benefit-sharing. By addressing both challenges and benefits, we aim to inspire businesses and organizations to engage these communities meaningfully.
1. Local Knowledge Enriches Project Design
Indigenous peoples and local communities possess invaluable knowledge about their ecosystems. For centuries, they’ve lived in harmony with nature, understanding how to preserve forests, manage water resources, and protect biodiversity. Their insights can help carbon credit projects identify the most effective methods to reduce emissions or enhance carbon capture.
Example: In the Amazon rainforest, Indigenous groups have successfully managed vast tracts of land using traditional techniques. Their participation in carbon projects has led to significant emission reductions while preserving their cultural heritage.
Challenge: However, incorporating local knowledge requires trust and collaboration. Often, these communities have been excluded from decision-making, leading to scepticism about external interventions.
2. Equitable Participation Ensures Success
True community involvement means engaging local people from the planning stage through implementation and monitoring. This participatory approach not only builds trust but also increases the likelihood of long-term project success.
Example: In Kenya, the Kasigau a project actively involved local communities in protecting forests. By including them in decision-making, the project reduced deforestation and provided alternative livelihoods like eco-tourism and sustainable agriculture.
Benefit: Equitable participation ensures that communities feel a sense of ownership, which is crucial for the long-term sustainability of carbon projects.
Challenge: Without equitable participation, projects risk being perceived as exploitative, leading to resistance or even project failure.
3. Benefit-Sharing Promotes Social Equity
Carbon credit projects can generate significant financial benefits. Sharing these benefits fairly with local communities ensures they see tangible rewards for their efforts. This can come in the form of direct payments, community development programs, or infrastructure improvements.
Example: In Indonesia, a mangrove restoration project not only sequestered carbon but also provided local fishermen with better tools and training, improving their livelihoods.
Benefit: Fair benefit-sharing improves community well-being, reduces poverty, and aligns economic incentives with environmental goals.
Challenge: Disputes over benefit distribution can arise if transparency and fairness are not prioritized. Establishing clear agreements and involving community representatives can help address this.
4. Social and Cultural Respect Builds Long-Term Partnerships
Indigenous peoples and local communities often view land and nature through a cultural or spiritual lens, not just as economic resources. Recognizing and respecting these perspectives fosters deeper partnerships and avoids cultural insensitivity.
Example: In Canada, a forest conservation project partnered with First Nations communities, integrating their cultural practices into the project design. This respect for their worldview strengthened collaboration and ensured the project aligned with their values.
Challenge: Ignoring cultural nuances can lead to conflicts and undermine the credibility of the project.
Benefit: Respecting social and cultural aspects not only strengthens relationships but also enhances the reputation of businesses involved in the projects.
Conclusion: Empowering Communities for a Sustainable Future
The involvement of Indigenous peoples and local communities in carbon credit projects is not optional — it’s essential. Their knowledge, participation, and cultural insights are invaluable for designing and implementing successful, equitable projects. Moreover, benefit-sharing ensures that these initiatives uplift communities while addressing global climate goals.
We’ve explored how local knowledge, equitable participation, benefit-sharing, and cultural respect play a role in carbon credit projects. Which of these points resonated most with you? How can your organization incorporate these principles into its sustainability efforts? Let’s start a conversation about building better, more inclusive carbon credit projects.

In a year when there was a particular heavy snowfall, the only vehicles getting through were army lorries. With food rationing still around, my parents resorted to sending us fruit and some very questionable dry cake at regular intervals for my brother and I.
At the time, my older brother was a prefect and shared a study in Grafton with two other prefects, one of whom was American. When the cake arrived, my brother would take it and share it with the other prefects in his study and I never saw any of it!
One day, I decided to take the cake so that none of them had any. As you can imagine, they were not happy! This was a time when the prefects had the authority to dish out detentions – they decided that I needed punishing.
I was to write lines on longitude and latitude, I refused and, over time, we reached an impasse. As time passed, I thought it had been forgotten. My brother went up to Cambridge and the American boy had become the head prefect.
Sadly, the American boy bore a grudge against me and managed to get his own back a year later when the annual sports day came around at the end of March. He entered me for the one-mile race and the half-mile. During the half-mile race, I was lapped and very despondent, so on the day of the one-mile race, I didn’t turn up.
The head prefect was not happy about this and reported me to Fitz, Grafton Housemaster. The Housemaster called me into his office and upon entering I noticed that the mantelpiece had been cleared, which was not a good sign and I knew what was coming next! Fitz proceeded to tell me that I was not the sort of boy he wanted in Grafton and I had let down the house. After which he gave me a good beating. I was incensed at the beating and went to speak to JF about it. JF asked me if it hurt, I said it didn’t so JF sent me on my way.
The following term I discovered that JF had taken the matter up with the Grafton Housemaster and told him to drop it immediately and I was to remain at Stowe.
I had a wonderful time at Stowe and took away so many lovely memories in addition to those started by a war over cake!

Fire Fighting Water Pump
Fire fighting pumps are a type of portable water pump that is designed specifically for use in the event of a fire or other emergency. These types of pumps can be powered by either diesel or petrol engines depending on your requirements and budget. They are often accompanied by firefighting hoses, valves and spray nozzles to help fight the fire in a safe and effective manner. These are very specialized pumps that need to have both high power and high pressure. A garden hose would never do the job because it is nowhere near as powerful or quick to pump out enough water at high enough speed to be of any real use in combating a fire.
When looking at the specs of any water pump, there are two acronyms that you need to take note of – PSI and GPM. PSI stands for pressure per square inch, while GPM refers to the amount of water that is pumped out in a minute. These two measures are important because they will dictate how much power the pump has and ultimately how well it will be able to perform its task.
The higher the PSI, the more force the water will have when it is pushed out of the pump and into your fire hoses. This is especially important when you consider the fact that the ideal maximum PSI for a fire fighting water pump is 100PSI or more. This will give you a very high Total Dynamic Head (TDH) which will allow the water to reach your fire with ease, and at an extremely fast rate of flow.
In addition to the PSI and GPM measurements, you will also want to pay close attention to the suction and discharge port sizes on your fire fighting pump. The suction hose is the hose that you will drop into your water source to suck up the water, and it will screw right into the back end of the pump. The discharge hose is the hose that you will then use to spray the water onto the fire or into other applications where you need pressurised water. The size of these hoses will dictate how far and wide you can spray your water, so make sure that they are the correct size for your intended use.
Most fire fighting pumps will have a manual or electric start option. Manual pumps will need to be manually turned on and off, while electric start fire fighting water pumps will be able to simply turn on by pressing the ON switch. They will then have a battery with harness set to supply the engine and pump with power. Depending on the model, you may also be able to connect your fire fighting water pump directly to your vehicle for added convenience.

The state of Wyoming is moving to join federal agencies in defending a sage grouse management plan against a legal challenge from a coalition of environmental groups.
Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead announced Thursday he’s directing the Wyoming Attorney General’s Office to intervene in a federal lawsuit environmental groups filed last month in Idaho.
The lawsuit seeks to force the Obama administration to impose more restrictions on oil and gas drilling, grazing and other activities blamed for the decline of greater sage grouse across the West.
The groups claim the conservation effort the government announced last fall has loopholes and won’t protect the bird from extinction.
But Mead says the lawsuit shows that the federal Endangered Species Act needs to be amended so successful conservation efforts are celebrated instead of challenged.

Smartcard admin portal (CIS) upgrade
THIS CONTENT HAS NOW EXPIRED
The Care Identity Service (CIS), is the national online system for management of NHS Smartcards. CIS will be moving to an online ‘cloud-based’ environment to improve system performance and user experience. Smartcard Registration Authorities (RAs) also use the CIS to manage and make changes to Smartcards.
NHS Digital has confirmed that an upgrade is scheduled to take place from 6.30pm on Friday 7th May 2021 through to 8.00pm on Monday 10th May 2021. This means that some parts of the CIS may not run as expected and it is suggested if you wish to apply changes to your Smartcard using CIS to do so before or after the upgrade. During the upgrade, CIS may not function as expected. EPS and Smartcard authentication within PMR systems will continue to run as usual. In the unlikely event that you experience a different unusual EPS issue with your Smartcard – flag this to your system supplier by email using the EPS escalation routes.

Background: Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a transforming gammaherpesvirus. Like other herpesviruses, KSHV infection is for life long and there is no treatment that can cure patients from the virus. In addition, there is an urgent need to target viral genes to study their role during the infection cycle. The CRISPR-Cas9 technology offers a means to target viral genomes and thus may offer a novel strategy for viral cure as well as for better understanding of the infection process. We evaluated the suitability of this platform for the targeting of KSHV. Methods: We have used the recombinat KSHV BAC16 genome, which contains an expression cassette encoding hygromycin-resistance and a GFP marker gene. Three genes were targeted: gfp, which serves as a marker for infection; orf45 encoding a lytic viral protein; and orf73, encoding LANA which is crucial for latent infection. The fraction of cells expressing GFP, viral DNA levels and LANA expression were monitored and viral genomes were sequenced. Results: We found that KSHV episomes can be targeted by CRISPR-Cas9. Interestingly, the quantity of KSHV DNA declined, even when target sites were not functionally important for latency. In addition, we show that antibiotic selection, used to maintain infection, interferes with the outcome of targeting. Conclusions: Our study provides insights into the use of this fundamental approach for the study and manipulation of KSHV. It provides guidelines for the targeting CRISPR-Cas9 to the viral genome and for outcomes interpretation.

Frequently asked questions
Refinancing costs typically range from 2% to 6% of the loan amount and include fees such as appraisal, title insurance, and closing costs. Factors like your loan type, location, and credit score can significantly impact these expenses. Our team can help to provide strategies that can help minimize costs.
To determine how much home you can afford, you’ll want to assess your financial situation. This includes your income, expenses, and debt-to-income ratio, to ensure your mortgage fits comfortably within your budget. A general guideline is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debt.
A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. HELOCs function like a credit card, giving access to funds up to a set limit, which can be used for expenses like renovations or debt consolidation. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, and the repayment terms typically include a draw period followed by a repayment period.
To calculate your mortgage payments, start with your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Your payment will depend on the interest charged over time and the repayment schedule. You can use a monthly mortgage payment calculator or connect with us to learn more.

Skyline foots bill for Queenstown Cemetery clean up
Skyline Enterprises is paying the clean-up bill for Queenstown Cemetery.
Contractors finally entered the site last Friday, six weeks on from a rain event that triggered slips from Bob's Peak, inundating gravesites.
The Queenstown Lakes District Council says crews will be at the cemetery until January, when it hopes clean up and restoration work will be completed.
Larger logs and debris will be removed first, followed by silt and smaller objects in the coming weeks, before more detailed cleaning and restoration of monuments gets underway in December and January.
"We don't expect any cost for QLDC," a council spokesperson confirms.
In late September, Queenstown had its wettest day in 24 years, and the heavy rain triggered slips that were exacerbated by work carried out by the tourism company.
Logs from stacks left behind by a tree felling operation below the gondola were swept down the steep hillside behind the town, along with mud and gravel.
The debris flow fanned out through a large chunk of the cemetery, and continued down parts of Brecon Street, eventually reaching as far as Shotover Street.
To the distress of local families with loved ones at rest in the affected area of the cemetery, the council had to hold off clean up work to allow Skyline time to stabilise the hillside above and make it safe for work crews below.
Exactly what work was carried out in this area is unknown, as the council has directed Crux questions on it to Skyline.
However, Skyline has repeatedly refused to answer questions from Crux, since it was revealed by a Crux investigation that its operations also contributed to a second debris flow that reached the Reavers Lane area behind Gorge Road.
Here, 41 homes and business were forced to evacuate overnight, leading to Queenstown Lakes District Mayor Glyn Lewers declaring a local state of emergency the following day.
Skyline has since publicly apologised for its actions in regards to Reavers Lane.
The company is now working to mitigate ongoing risk and stabilise remaining construction fill it had dumped on a hillside high above Reavers Lane.
A special matting that can be bolted down is being spread over loose rock to secure it, and eventually the area will be planted.
It is still unknown if Skyline will be liable for any other damages from the September state of emergency, as investigations remain underway.
The felling operation carried out on Bob's Peak above the Queenstown Cemetery was in response to fire risk, and the process for it had been externally audited and approved.

Possessing one of the most vicious and underrated scenes in all Black Metal, France has produced its share of elite purveyors of the darkest of Heavy Metal arts. Of them all, Merrimack sits quite near the top, occupying a lofty perch alongside the likes of Blut Aus Nord, Seth, and Anorexia Nervosa. Together since 1994, this 8th of March, 2024 sees Merrimack releasing just their sixth full-length album in their history. Of Grace and Gravity infects the earth courtesy of Season of Mist’s Underground Activists division, and fans the world over wait to see how the band will sound seven years after the appearance of their last album, 2017’s Omegaphilia. Does the black flame still burn over Paris?
Merrimack churns with sweeping medieval decadence on “Sublunar Despondency,” a song that goes for the throat right off the jump. Longtime bassist Daethorn, who finger-picks on his instrument, can be heard quite well in the mix. This is not often the case with Black Metal, and his adroit playing combined with the abyssal percussion of Blastum on drums provides a wicked bottom end to the mix. Frequent blasts are pierced by intense Frontman Vestal’s catacomb-level bellow.
Changing up their attack, the broody “Starving Crowns” provides a clear sonic picture of the work of founding Guitarist Perversifier and his counterpart, A.K, on second guitar. Hypnotic in its slow repetition, this is meant to lull the listener before a brief explosion of speed ratchets up the excitement. Multiple tempo changes are synthesized magnificently herein, making it a highlight.
The speedy and chaotic “Dead and Distant Clamors” would not be amiss coming from a band like Naglfar, with its clamorous lead and blasting drum beats. Merrimack again keeps the listener on his or her toes, manipulating tempo to maximum effect.
From the opening song “Sulphurean Synods,” with perhaps the most violent delivery of Vestal’s throat, to the most pitiless blast-beat speed of perhaps the best song on the album “Under the Aimless Spheres,” Merrimack never loses their songs to speed for speed’s sake. There is an ancient and evil beauty within this music that only bands from places steeped in centuries of history can amplify. The production is actually quite top-notch, without seeming modern or the least bit generic. Black Metal purists have a reputation for avoiding albums that sound too clean, but it is doubtful that they will object to the material on offer here.
The album closes with “Embalmer’s Wine,” a slow build-up that launches into hyper-speed while that slow-strummed opening phrase marches overtop. Similar to their neighbors from Holland in Asagraum; this is the sort of highly musical spirited Black Metal that holds its quality for future listens. When the midsection storms with ultimate menace, one can picture the song live turning venues into proverbial ash.
Merrimack infuses its albums with the sort of black energy mirrored by its Frontman Vestal. To witness this man perform live is to see the bearing of a Faustian soul, tormented and bleak. Each note on this album was recorded with this same intensity, and there is no doubt that these Frenchmen have crafted what will be one of the finer Black Metal albums to emerge from Hell, and for this reason Cryptic Rock gives Of Grace and Gravity 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Japanese authorities are strengthening their campaign against illegal crypto gambling among local players, particularly those registered in offshore licensed casinos.
According to multiple sources, local police have reportedly arrested local players of offshore casinos using a crypto tracking tool. The Asahi Shimbun and Nikkei report that authorities referred 10 people in Chiba and Tokyo Prefecture to the prosecutors on allegations of gambling at offshore casinos.
Police have identified around 130 players nationwide, which shall face inquiries.
This is the first time that the Japanese authorities have used a crypto-tracking tool in their operations against online gambling. While Japan allows regulated gambling, unauthorized gambling, particularly in unlicensed offshore casinos, is strictly prohibited.
Japan Tries A Crypto ‘Tracking Tool’ For The First Time
Local police are now actively using a cryptocurrency tracking tool to find locals who regularly play at offshore casinos. On November 26th, the Security Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department referred 10 locals to the prosecutor’s office for investigation.
Since the start of the police operations, the authorities have already referred 57 players, and they’re looking at around 130 more players.
These arrests come as many locals are struggling under the pressure of a falling economy. Police have tracked dozens of players from 24 prefectures, and many of them have been imprisoned for using their money voluntarily on their favorite casino games.
The police report identified popular offshore casinos like BitCasino, Sportsbet.io, and Vera & John as the popular betting sites frequented by the players.
Japanese Players Wagered Crypto On Popular Slots, Table Games
According to reports, the players used cryptocurrencies to place bets on slot machines and popular table games. The police added that all players admitted to the illegal activity. All three sites are easily accessible from Japan through the players’ mobile phones and personal computers.
The players’ ages range from 20 to 60, and the list includes a public servant, company employees, and even a homemaker.
The police also reported that all players lost money in these popular offshore casinos. One player reportedly lost 30 million yen or $194,000.
Public Questions The Authorities’ Crackdown On GamblingThe Japanese police’s campaign on illegal gambling has generated mixed reactions from the general public. As some of the country’s elderly are struggling to make ends meet, many are wondering if the latest crackdown on casino players is worth it.

Fed Meeting Minutes and PCE Data: Key Macro Indicators to Watch This Week
Beginning Tuesday evening, two significant macro indicators will appear one after the other. As they are made public, QCP Capital warns that worries about downside risks could grow. The Fed’s November meeting minutes will be discussed first. Everyone anticipated the rate cut that concluded the Fed’s most recent meeting, but they altered their language regarding inflation and their overarching objectives.
The PCE data drop, which is scheduled out Wednesday ahead of Thanksgiving, may indicate a slight increase in inflation based on other recent data. A little more than half of traders believe that another rate cut will occur by December, although, as usual, this will depend on what the economic data indicates.

Yesterday was undoubtedly one of the worst for crypto markets for a long time. Over 20% fell off the total market capacity in one day alone, a crash only eclipsed by the January 15-17 selloff which resulted in a 40% market decline. As usual one altcoin shines above the rest during today’s Asian trading session and that accolade goes to Lisk.
LSK had been trading sideways at around $22 for the past week or so. It is one of the few altcoins that shows considerable resilience to large market swings, Ethereum is another. The price of LSK shot to the moon yesterday at 05.30 UTC when it jumped 60% to $36 in around half an hour. Since then the market has corrected and Lisk has returned to around $25 where it currently trades. LSK has made steady gains of around 35% over the past month and is up 25% on the day.
Lisk currently has a market capacity of $2.9 billion, it is 16th in the market cap chart at the time of writing and there are 117 million tokens in supply. Most of the trade in LSK is made on Binance, closely followed South Korean exchange Upbit, and Bittrex.

With all cryptocurrency markets tanking in value, it is evident there will be some big changes. More specifically, some currencies are all but crashing to the ground as we speak. BitConnect, the infamous Ponzi Scheme, is finally meeting its demise, by the look of things. Thanks to the recent price declines, the value of BCC dropped by over 80%. Moreover, the native exchange has closed its doors and the subReddit is turned to private. Good riddance, according to many cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
It was only a matter of time until BitConnect would finally collapse. Thousands of people bought into this scam and some of them may have even made money. Most users, however, probably never got their money out of this program whatsoever. That is only normal, as over 95% of all trades were conducted on the native BCC exchange. When a currency’s developers also run the main exchange, you know things are not always going to end well.
Curtain Call for BitConnect
To put this into perspective, the BitConnect price has dropped by a lot. Over the past week, it went from nearly $400 all the way to $27. Such a steep decline seems to confirm the developers finally completed their grand exit scam. It is also possible they used the ‘stolen” Bitcoins to crash the current market. Whether or not that latter part is a conspiracy theory or the sheer reality, remains to be seen. It is evident the BCC exchange had access to a lot of BTC, though. Either way, it seems this Ponzi Scheme is gone for good, which can only be considered to be a good thing.
Furthermore, it seems the project’s subReddit is no longer accessible. Rather than leaving it open to the public, it is now completely private. No one who isn’t “approved” can’t access this subreddit or see what is being posted there. A very worrisome turn of events for the people still waiting to get their money out. They were warned dozens of times about this Ponzi Scheme, though. Anyone who lost money due to BitConnect only has themselves to blame. It is a harsh reality, but that’s what people get for falling for snake oil practices.
For now, it is unclear what the future will hold. It seems the BCC Exchange has also shut its doors for now. This is more evidence of the nefarious nature of this particular “investment program”. It is a matter of time until the other exchanges remove BCC from their platform, by the look of things. We can only hope not too many people lost money because of BitConnect. At the same time, it seems likely the team ran off with a few dozen million Dollars in the end.

- Trading volumes dropped 30% compared to the previous quarter despite the onboarding of 50 new counterparties.
- However, the financial services firm’s mining arm earned a record revenue of $9.8 million.
Galaxy Digital swung to a first-quarter loss as tumbling crypto prices forced the firm to book unrealized trading losses.
The crypto-focused trading and investment firm reported a net loss of $111.7 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to a profit of $858.2 million in the same period last year, according to a statement on Monday. The crypto market has had a rough ride over the past year, with bitcoin – the largest token – falling from a high of more than $60,000 in March 2021 to less than $40,000 12 months later.
Speaking about the market conditions during an earnings call, Michael Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital, said that his instinct was “there is more damage to be done.”
“We expect a tough market but we are unwavering that we’re going to see institutional adoption of crypto as an asset class,” he added.
Galaxy Digital Asset Management reported assets under management of $2.7 billion as of March 31, a 5% decrease over the previous quarter.
Meanwhile, its trading arm, Galaxy Digital Trading, reported growth in the number of clients and revenue from loan and yield portfolios, counterparty trading volumes decreased 30% compared to the previous quarter. And that’s at the same time as having onboarded 50 new counterparties to the platform, bringing the total to over 800.That said, trading volumes were still up 50% compared to the first quarter of 2021.
Last week, European digital asset manager CoinShares also reported a first-quarter profit decline due to drops in trading revenue. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) totalled $23 million, down from $36 million a year earlier.
Galaxy Digital’s losses were, however, partially offset by growth in its investment banking and mining businesses. The latter two saw record revenue and net comprehensive income in the quarter. Net comprehensive income in investment banking grew more than eightfold and mining more than fivefold compared to the same period last year.
The mining arm of the company earned a record revenue of $9.8 million and net income of $5 million. The company claims that its proprietary operations are able to “mine bitcoin at a marginal cost significantly lower than fair market value”, and it is on track to achieve a mining capacity of 2,500 petahash per second by the end of 2022 for both proprietary and miner-finance operations.

Crypto trader and host of the YouTube channel CoinBureau, Guy Turner, expects significant growth for Ethereum in 2025. According to Turner, this will be driven by the major Pectra upgrade, which is expected to make Ethereum faster, more scalable, and more user-friendly for both regular users and developers.
Guy Turner explained to his 2.5 million subscribers that the Pectra upgrade and subsequent improvements will be highly positive for ETH, and the coin could potentially reach or even exceed its all-time price high.
It’s worth recalling that Ethereum reached its peak value in November 2021, when its price neared $4,900. Therefore, according to Turner, Ethereum’s growth potential from current levels is 68%.
“Ethereum has been trying to break upwards for a long time, and the upgrade could be the spark that allows the second-largest cryptocurrency to do so. This is even more likely considering the upgrade will improve the user interface, which will attract institutional investors,” Turner noted.
The two-phase Pectra upgrade will feature several key changes, including the ability to pay gas fees for Ethereum transactions with any asset, increased rewards for large validators, and improvements to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Earlier, it was reported that the market capitalization ratio of Ethereum to Bitcoin had fallen to a three-year low.

Dispur (India), January 12: This edition is known as Expo Organic North East or Expo in recognition of the potential of organic farming in the country’s North Eastern region to connect growers with consumers and to support the development of the entire value chain for the promotion of organic products globally. The first Expo on Organic North East is scheduled to take place from February 3rd to 5th, 2023; an immersive experience into the world of organic fruits and vegetables hosted by the Department of Agriculture, Govt. of Assam and organised by the Sikkim State Cooperative Supply and Marketing Federation Ltd (SIMFED) at Guwahati, Assam.
India has seen significant growth in the export of organic products, and we are also Asia’s second-largest exporter of organic products. Oilseeds, sugarcane, cereals and millets, cotton, pulses, medicinal plants, tea, fruits, and spices are the most popular organic products in India. In recent years, India has seen total exports of 460320.40 MT valued at more than 5000 Cr INR or $770 Million.
Expo ONE is a high-quality exhibition from leading companies in naturals, organics, and exports, as well as agribusinesses. The event will also host B2B meetings, B2C events, international and domestic buyer delegations, International Conference, Farmers’ Workshop, and government/department pavilions, will be included.
Major Highlights of the event:
Exhibition: Over 160 organic and natural brand stalls will display a wide range of organic food and non-food products. Fair include exporters, retailers, Farmer Producer groups, organic input manufacturers, government agencies, and others.
Pavilions of States: Pavilions of the Central and State Governments will provide farmer groups with various government schemes and marketing assistance.
Pavilions of Certification Agencies: Certification agency pavilions will assist farmer groups with third-party or PGS certification, fair trade, and sustainability standards.
Pavilion of Industries: Opportunity to promote businesses through companies in food processing, packaging, testing laboratories, equipment, new technologies, and startups.
Buyer-Seller Meetings: Buyer-seller meetings, an essential component of the Fair, bring together international and domestic buyers (including exporters, wholesalers, and retailers) with suppliers and farmer groups/FPOs to conduct actual business. B2B meetings are scheduled to meet the needs of both buyers and sellers. A dedicated Buyer Seller lounge is created at the venue.
Conference: Top exporters from India and around the world will be invited. More than 100 delegates from various sectors attended, including farmers, traders/exporters, researchers, non-governmental organisations, and state and central governments.
Farmers’ Workshop: Farmers from across the state and country are attending special workshop sessions. These classes will be held in Assamese, English, and Hindi. These organic production sessions will be led by experts.
This is consistent with our honourable Prime Minister’s vision of doubling income through the promotion of organic farming in the country, the establishment of remunerative prices for agricultural produce, and the adoption of sustainable technologies. The proposed scheme aims to reduce cultivation costs, increase farmer income, and ensure resource conservation, as well as safe and healthy soils, environment, water and food.
SIMFED has taken an active role in promoting organic farming. It is actively pursuing and promoting organic farming in over 18 Indian states. As the world’s first 100% organic state, Sikkim has been at the forefront of Organic Agriculture in India. With the active participation and efforts of the Department of Agriculture, Government of Assam, this event aims to provide a global platform for North Eastern farmers and producers to showcase the best of North East under one roof.
Join the team for the first ever expo for Organic & Naturals at Guwahati, Assam.

Use of an artificial intelligence (AI) model in conjunction with the regular Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) can improve diagnostic performance and characterization, according to new research.
Aylin Tahmasebi, MD, a research fellow at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, presented her team's findings, "TI-RADS Modification Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques May Improve Radiologists Decision Making," in a Saturday session.
"Thyroid cancer is a common cancer, and 1.3% of the general population will be diagnosed with it at some point in their life," Dr. Tahmasebi said. "However, it has an excellent five-year survival rate of 98.2%."
Identifying High-Risk Nodules
While thyroid nodules are a common finding on US, many require more expensive and time-consuming imaging to determine if they are clinically significant and develop a path of treatment, she said.
The team at Thomas Jefferson University conducted a retrospective study of 258 patients who underwent US imaging for thyroid nodules and either follow up US-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy with next-generation sequencing or post-resection pathology. Of those cases, 211 were used to train an AI model. Of those, 47 were used to test the model.
The Google AI learning tool was trained to identify markers of high-risk nodules on US images such as specific mutations or molecular markers associated with malignant cancer.
As part of the project, three blinded radiologists scored the images using TI-RADS and assigned each nodule as either high or low risk based on the presence of the highly suspicious imaging features the AI model would also seek to identify.
"Our aims for this study were to evaluate the AI diagnostic accuracy in genetic risk stratification of thyroid nodules, evaluate AI performance in locating the thyroid nodule, and evaluate the radiologist's performance when using TI-RADS with and without AI assistance in thyroid nodule genetic risk stratification," Dr. Tahmasebi said.
Dr. Tahmasebi's team determined that the AI algorithm correctly located all nodules, or 100%, in the test set, and predicted malignancy risk with higher sensitivity and specificity than the three radiologists.
When predicting high risk, the AI model achieved sensitivity of 68% compared to 52% by the radiologists. In terms of specificity, the AI model had a rate of 70% compared to 62% with the radiologists. And when the radiologists used AI with TI-RADS, they performed better than with TI-RADS alone.
"Incorporation of AI into TI-RADS improved radiologists' performance and showed better genetic malignancy risk prediction," Dr. Tahmasebi said. "This approach may help more accurately identify truly high-risk nodules needing further evaluation and treatment."

PRESIDENT of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Abdulwaheed Omar, has warned the Federal Government, as well as the state governors over the secret plan to amend the N18,000 National Minimum Wage Act, even when its implementation is yet to commence fully.
But, in a swift reaction, the Ondo State governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, said the governors had not met to discuss and take position on the issue, adding, however, that it was offensive for the Federal Government to unilaterally impose what state should pay its employees without their full involvement.
Both Comrade Omar and Mimiko spoke on Thursday, at the seventh National Labour Relations Summit of the Michael Imoudu National Institute for Labour Studies (MINILS), Ilorin, Kwara State.
The NLC president regretted that the Federal Government, with support from the state governors, had concluded to review the national minimum wage, adding that it was an attempt to ensure that the N18,000 minimum wage was eliminated.
Governor Mimiko, however, said the governors had not met to take position on the issue, claiming that the agreement was reached without full participation of the governors, a development he described as “very offensive.”

Talk has been hotting up over the past week on the introduction of vaccine passports and the vaccination of children, but the figures show that the virus continues to wane, with reported ‘cases’ having fallen by 21% over the past week and the number of deaths after 28 days of a positive test only seeing a slight increase of 30. MailOnline has more.
Department of Health bosses posted 29,547 new cases today, down 21% on the 37,578 recorded last Saturday.
But the number of people dying within 28 days of a positive test is continuing to increase, with 156 people falling victim to the virus. The figure was up 30% on the 120 recorded last week.
Fatalities tend to reflect changes in infection levels at least a week after due to the time it takes for people to become seriously ill.
Britain’s vaccine drive is continuing to roll forward with 89,832 second doses dished out today. It takes the total amount of adults fully protected against the virus to just under 43.9 million (80.8%).
Some 25,019 first doses were also dished out, taking the total number of people to receive at least one jab up to 48.4 million (89%).
The figures come amid reports the AstraZeneca jab could be largely withdrawn from U.K.’s vaccine programme as millions of Britons who were given two doses are likely to be offered a Pfizer booster shot.
The booster programme is expected to rely mainly on the Pfizer vaccine under a ‘mix and match’ strategy to top-up immunity.

Keir Starmer has gambled his career on being cleared over Beergate by making an extraordinary vow to quit if he is fined by police – with Angela Rayner also promising to do the same.
Keir Starmer is in very hot water after the Mail on Sunday obtained a secret Labour Party document which appears to blow apart his version of events over 'Beergate'.
Keir Starmer faces a police investigation into his lockdown curry, after repeatedly demanding Boris Johnson should quit for breaching rules.

Dixie House Farewell
Stalwart home-cooking restaurant in Lakewood center gets the ax
More bad news for home-cooking fans, as Lakewood restaurant old-timer Dixie House is being shut down. According to a sign posted on the door, the restaurant will close on January 29.
Dixie House's demise follows the early-January closure of sibling restaurant Black Eyed Pea on Cedar Springs Road. Parent company Restaurants Acquisition filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December.
But according to the Lakewood Advocate, Dixie House is being forced out by landlord Lincoln Properties, which had the restaurant on a month-by-month lease while it shopped for new tenants. Lincoln Properties did not respond to a request for comment.
Dixie House spokesperson Wes Oliver stated in January that the restaurant was a "core store" designated to stay open despite the bankruptcy, unless they were forced to leave by the landlord.
The restaurant's manager, Scott Pendleton, told the Advocate that the staff learned of the closure via their corporate parent, which has not ruled out re-opening in a different location.
Dixie House was in the center of Lakewood for 35-plus years where it served a menu mostly similar to Black Eyed Pea but with some unique items that dated back to its early days.
Many loved it as a place to get a healthy four-vegetable plate; as one of Dallas' best neighborhood restaurants, with its pot roast with gravy and mashed potatoes; and as a top 10 spot to take out-of-town guests, thanks to its home-cooking menu, which we called "one of Dallas' indigenous cuisines."
A Dixie House experience can still be had for those willing to drive to Tarrant County, where five Dixie House Cafes that are not part of the Black Eyed Pea family remain open.

dartfords Light Oak Interior Water Based Wood Dye - 5 litre Jerrycan
Water based wood dye with good fade-resistance. Being water based it is a grain-raising dye and is suitable for all soft- and hardwoods. This general purpose dye can be used for all interior woodwork applications, including flooring. Additional sanding will be required after the first coat is applied to smooth the wood’s grain back down. It must be sealed in with an appropriate top coat
COVERAGE Approximately 8sq m per litre, depending on the timber and method of application. If you are doing a single job that will require multiple bottles of dye then they should all be bought at the same time, and all mixed in a larger container before application to ensure colour consistency throughout. Colours can vary from batch to batch.
THINNING Thin with distilled water, both for cleaning and to lessen the intensity of a colour.
MIXING All colours can be mixed with each other to create your own bespoke tint. Always mix up enough to complete your job to ensure colour consistency across the whole surface.
USAGE OVERVIEW Can be applied using a brush, cloth, sponge or by dipping. The wood should be clean and dry, and can optionally have been grain filled first with our Thixotropic or Water Based Grain Fillers.
Whatever the method, apply liberally and wipe off any excess. Overlap applications to blend edges.
The first coat will usually noticeably raise the grain of the wood, so the surface should be sanded with 320 grit once the first coat has dried to flat the grain back down. Subsequent coats should then have far less of a grain-raising effect.
In most conditions the dye will be touch dry and recoatable within 30-60 minutes. Allow at least 8 hours before coating with a suitable protective top coat of lacquer, varnish or oil.
COMPATIBILITY Suitable for use on all unfinished, untreated woods. Can be coated with all of our spray and brush varnishes, lacquers and oils.

The National Supervisory Authority for the Processing of Personal Data, as an autonomous central public authority with general competence in the field of personal data protection, represents the guarantor of respecting the fundamental rights to private life and to the protection of personal data, stipulated especially by Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, by Article 16 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
The year 2016 marks a key moment in the evolution of the European regulations on the protection of personal data through the adoption by the European Parliament and the Council of the Regulation on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation), of direct applicability in all the Member States of the European Union as of the 25th of May 2018, together with the adoption of the Directive on data protection processed for the purpose of preventing, detecting, investigating and prosecuting crimes and other judicial activities.
For our institution, this reform of the normative framework in the field implies, on short term, a complex evaluation of the specific instruments for ensuring the protection of personal data, in order to adapt the national normative framework and the institutional preparation for the application of the new European regulations, including in terms of achieving an efficient cooperation with the European Data Protection Board and the other relevant authorities in the European Union.
Thus, strengthening the administrative capacity of the Authority is a priority and requires the allocation of adequate material, financial and human resources for the exercise of our new specific tasks, for the effective application of the European Union standards provided in the new adopted regulations.
The activity of our institution shall fit to the requirements of observing the rules for the processing of personal data in the public and private domain, in order to achieve the desideratum to ensure a real exercise of the right to data protection of all natural persons.
In this regard we rely on and call for the active involvement of each of you when you shall face various situations in the current activity.
In perspective, we aim to build a true culture of personal data protection in Romania, believing that we shall benefit from the support of decision-makers of central and local public authorities, non-governmental organizations and the private domain.

Vedolizumab May Offer Hope for People with Colitis or Crohn’s Disease
One experimental drug that has been developed may be the answer for patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease that have been unresponsive to current medications. The drug is known as vedolizumab and is being developed to treat two forms of IBD – ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s Disease.
Both of these diseases occur in the digestive tract and can lead to chronic inflammation, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. During new trials, researchers have discovered that vedolizumab had succeeded in cases where standard medications have been ineffective.
The drug was reported to be more effective for colitis than for Crohn’s. The drug may receive FDA approval for the treatment of colitis first. This is a potential new solution for the 2,000 patients that have either colitis or Crohn’s and have failed to see improvements from standard medications.
During a single trial, 47 percent of a group of 900 colitis patients given vedolizumab infusions reported a decrease in symptoms.

Does it all ever feel too much? Responsibilities, commitments, and life can all seems a bit too much at times. Recently I over-committed to a few too many things and it caused me a bit of panic. Then I was able to pull some tools from my toolbox to help me refocus and get myself on track. I was able to calmly put together a reasonable way to accomplish all I needed to do. Sound good? Here are some tips:
What is Overwhelm?
First, please know that overwhelm is not a weakness or a character flaw. It's a natural response to stress and pressure. Our brains are wired to respond to danger by releasing adrenaline and other stress hormones, which can help us fight or flee.
Stress causes us to act. However, when we are constantly under stress, our bodies can't keep up, and we start to feel overwhelmed. We actually lose the ability to think of how to work through our challenges and plan solutions. Very counterproductive!
What To Do - Tips
So what can we do to overcome overwhelm? Here are some ideas:
1. Take 60 seconds to reset your emotions and nervous system. Connect your emotions, body and thoughts and then breathe. I recommend adding aroma and following the Aroma Reset technique. This will reset your nervous system and move you into a state where you can think of tiny stepping stones. That’s what helped me settle and come into a mental state where I could think of how to work it all out.
2. Practice self-nurture: When we’re overwhelmed, it can be tempting to push ourselves harder and harder, thinking we just need to work harder to get everything done. In reality, self-nuture is essential for our mental and physical health which helps us think clearly and take action at a better pace than if we neglect self-nuture. This could mean taking a moment to look out the window and connect with nature or simply taking a few, slow deep belly breaths. Self-nurture is different than self-care because it’s a way of living, the way we behave. I wrote a whole blog post about simple ways to self-nurture that takes zero extra time in our day. Things like brushing your hair with care and compassion is self-nurture.
3. Seek support: It's okay to ask for help when we're feeling overwhelmed. This could mean reaching out to a friend or family member, joining a support group, or seeking professional help from a therapist or coach. Talking to someone who understands what we're going through can be incredibly helpful in reducing stress and anxiety. I'm here for you with masterclasses and workshops for group support or you can contact me for individual coaching and support. You can find more info here: Level UP
If you're feeling overwhelmed, remember that you're not alone. It's okay to take a step back to focus and it will help you in the long run. And if you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it. With time and support, you can overcome overwhelm and find peace from within. What are some strategies that have helped you when you're feeling overwhelmed?

Lancashire Lightning reversed the result of last year’s NatWest T20 Blast final, beating Birmingham Bears by eight runs in a low-scoring but exciting game at Edgbaston. A fine all-round performance by Lancashire skipper Steven Croft was the difference between the sides. The Birmingham Bears have yet to clinch a home quarter-final whilst the Lancashire Lightning have improved their chances of qualifying.
Over eleven thousand noisy fans watched the match on a sunny, breezy evening. A slowish pitch did not make for rapid scoring but it did contribute towards a hard-fought contest with a close finish.
Chasing 146 to win, the Bears looked to be well on course when they were 72 in the tenth over. But they lost Tom Lewis and, crucially, Brendon McCullum in consecutive balls to Croft and the momentum slowed from then on, with wickets steadily falling. Lancashire gave little away in the field and took some excellent catches, not least the absolute blinder by that man Croft at backward point to remove Laurie Evans for 13. McCullum top-scored with 41 but no-one else got beyond Tom Lewis’s 21.
With two overs to go, the Bears needed 25 to win and though Oliver Hannon-Dalby hit an unlikely six, James Faulkner finished things off by catching an enormous skier off the penultimate ball to give Lancashire a well-deserved win. Faulkner played his part also with 3-19 which, together with Croft’s 2-16, squeezed the life out of the innings in a way that the Bears have so often done themselves.
Steven Croft took some of the gloss off his all-round performance with a display of petulance when a stumping appeal was turned down and he had a pointless spat with Rikki Clarke. Despite all that, it was still his and Lancashire’s night.
Having been put in to bat , Lancashire Lightning did well, in the end, to reach 145-6 after making a grim start to their innings. By the eighth over, they had stumbled to 38-4 with Rikki Clarke, not for the first time, bowling beautifully to take 1-7 off his three overs. Why he never got to bowl a fourth is a mystery. Thereafter, Jeetan Patel did the usual, taking 2-14 off his four overs but gradually Lancashire skipper Steven Croft wrested the initiative away from the Bears bowlers, this despite a nice spell of leg-spin variations from Josh Poysden.
With Luke Procter, Croft added 41 in 6.1 overs and then he and James Faulkner upped the pace to put on 59 off 5.3 overs for the sixth wicket. Both Oliver Hannon-Dalby and Recordo Gordon came in for punishment; Gordon’s radar, in particular, failed to function and he went for 48 off his four overs. Hannon-Dalby leaked 42 runs and though they took three wickets between them, the two pacemen failed to perform to their usual standards. The short leg-side boundary when the bowling was from the pavilion end provided only a partial excuse.
The Bears maintained a high standard in the field, though Hannon-Dalby did spill an early return chance from Ashwell Prince and Recordo Gordon dived over one ball that went for four. Brendon McCullum provided a comedy moment by undertaking a brilliant stop but, in seeking to flick the ball to a colleague succeeded in sending it thirty yards past him.
The match has given Lancashire’s chances of qualifying a timely boost. Who knows, both they and the Bears could be back at Edgbaston on Finals Day. Tonight’s result has certainly heightened that possibility.

If there’s one thing I love more than destination weddings, it’s the new trend of the destination wedding anniversary! Once the honeymoon phase is over, you’ll discover that marriage is not always easy. And that’s why it’s so important to keep the romance alive and celebrate the annual milestones in style!
Today’s inspiration takes us to the enchanting Greek island of Santorini. Santorini is considered one of the most romantic destinations in the world. And for obvious reasons! The two of you can wander down rustic paths to reach the southern Aegean Sea viewpoints, check into your choice of humble but luxurious Santorini hotels, and explore the mesmerizing beauty scattered around the island.
These dreamy photos captured by Thanos Asfis, will show you just how magical the experience can be when you don’t have the added pressure of planning an entire wedding. For instance, you can easily play around with earthy dress colors that’ll add enchantment to your outdoor celebration. And pastel florals are a must if you’re celebrating in Greece because they are the perfect contrast to the beautiful and rustic charm of the whitewashed landscape.
When it comes to celebrating your actual anniversary, a thoughtfully planned celebration is not just special for you two lovebirds, but it’s also a memorable experience for your family. Whether your family is near or far, Greece is the perfect place for a reunion. So pop the champagne, soak up the sun, and indulge in the iconic cuisine, all while reconnecting with each other and celebrating your love!

P.S: We’ve seen the plain sari-striped blouse look on Pallavi before. Remember this?

Its a tricky ensemble, perhaps even a ‘wthey’ on someone else but Sanjana looks so comfortable and charming/lovely in it, we just can’t bring ourselves to call her on it! :) We like.
Personally though, we’d never wear that shirt/top and vest with the skirt (shudder)… but a plain white tank/ganji with the skirt would be right up our alley!
