The process of grieving anything is an intimidating and unwanted venture whether it is the loss of a loved one or the loss of anything we loved.
Though our internal system may utilize denial or avoidance as a necessary protective response until we are ready to face the loss, sooner or later we will need to work through it in order to move on from it.
Grief alters our perceptions and can reorder our belief system. Our confidence in how things work or should be fails and we’re left with the gut wrenching awareness of our vulnerability and lack of control. The death of someone or something we loved feels like the death of us. And in one sense it actually can be!
A part of us was formed around the life that contained that person or thing. This is true for facing not only death and loss in the natural but also in the spiritual. A spiritual “death” season is when an aspect of our faith, conceptualization of who we are or who God is, an accepted value or belief, or some part of our broken nature is challenged in some way.
The concept of death and resurrection is found in many places in the Bible within the stories of individuals, often invited by God to leave behind what was for the sake of something new.
Life on the other side of any kind of loss is going to be different.
A death is the end of an old thing and the opportunity for something new.
But our systems can take a while to accept this fact. After the COVID pandemic settled down worldwide the phrase, “finding a new normal” became popular. In processing grief and loss an essential step involves finding a healthy way to remember the loved one or thing lost while effectively moving on with life in the present. We need to eventually find our “new normal”.
What was must be released and let go, and the pain of this held and seen.
Something may need to be forgiven when we’re ready.
A healthy state of remembering or honouring the past before the loss will need to be sought without us getting stuck.
Unprocessed grief can erode our future as much as the event that caused it ambushed our past.
The path to be at peace again winds through the dark and thorny landscape of our delicate and wounded soul.
But for this there is a Healer. An advocate who understands death and overcame it.
The new will come. A new day and a new season lie ahead.
We will breathe again, love again and try again. There is no pad answers or universal “5 step” program for working through grief quickly and effectively. The heart sets it’s own pace and the Healer seems to honour that. There is, however, an invitation from Jesus to walk with Him through the centre of our broken heart and let Him bring the pieces together to whole again.
Our Father is faithful. When our faith fails He is willing to give us His.
We can overcome.
There is new life on the other side of the end
In my journey through grief and loss, I’ve discovered the power of honest prayer. Telling Him everything, no editing. This is the kind of prayer He enters into. Jesus actually won’t be shocked at what’s in our hearts. Father has proved Himself capable and willing to handle it. Sometimes He will give direct answers, and sometimes just His presence will be enough. We need encounter. We need to experience the love our Father and the Trinity has for us in order to heal.
I encourage you to take some time today to just centre on His presence and invite Him into what is troubling you. Invite Him into whatever you need to invite Him into. He loves to bring redemption and loves to help us overcome. He can do what no blog, counsellor or teacher can which is be present with us in every moment and reach into every part of your being to bring truth and love that makes us whole.
It will get better as we let Hope, Love and Truth in.
May the God of all comfort, comfort you as you walk through this.
“This is what the Lord, the God of your father David says, “I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you.”
(2 Kings 20:5)

Approximately once every 1.5 years the transiting Lunar Nodes precess into new signs. These nodal turning points can be likened to a new set of themes for the world and global humanity for the next 18 months. This Highlight Seminar explores the significance and intent of these themes. The recent history of this nodal alignment will be explored. Also covered will be nodal transits and timeline cycles of nodal returns and reversals.
The Lunar nodes will be on the Pisces-Virgo axis until July 26, 2026.
The 0Aries00 point reached on January 11 is particularly important as it is the center point of any Lunar Standstill season. It also reminds us of Saturn and Neptune’s ingress into Aries in 2025 as well as the coming heliacal rise of Venus on March 29.

To be Eligible for On-Campus Jobs, a student must meet the following:
- Enrolled in at least one credit hour at TWU
- Complete the federal I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form at the time of hire. This form requires documents to verify identity and employment eligibility. Please view the List of Acceptable Documents to see which documents are allowed.
- One document from List A or one document each for List B and C is required.
- TWU participates in the federal E-Verify program for I-9 processing, and a student may not start working on campus until the I-9 and employment authorization through E-Verify have been completed.
- Complete forms authorizing TWU to conduct a criminal background check, which is standard employment procedure. Students must pass a satisfactory background check in order to work on campus.
- Additional Forms Required at Time of Hire.
- Payment Option (direct Deposit or Check)
- Proof of Selective Service Registration (male student only)
- Confidentiality Statement
Students working on campus are allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours per week when classes are in session. Students may work more than one job on campus, but the total amount of hours for all jobs combined may only be 20 hours per week maximum. On-campus jobs are classified by two categories. Work Study, Non-work Study
To apply for a Work Study job, you must have been awarded a Work Study grant through Financial Aid. For additional information regarding Work Study grants, including eligibility requirement and how to apply for a Work Study grant, please visit the Financial Aid website.
Non-Work Study positions are reserved for students who do not receive Work Study. If you have been awarded a Work Study grant, then you may apply for any Work Study position. If you have not been awarded a Work Study grant, then you may apply for any Non-Work Study position.
If this a work-study position, the department needs to request a copy of the applicant’s work-study award letter to verify the student has been awarded work-study funds. Failure to verify work-study status may result in the student not being paid as a work-study, but instead the department being responsible for covering 100% of the students’ wages. Departments will not be reimbursed for any payments made on a non-work study hire. The award needs to be verified each academic year (fall/spring) and summer sessions. It is the student and department’s responsibility to monitor earnings to be sure they do not exceed the work-study award amount. It is recommended to utilize the Payroll Summary by Account Report located under Administrative Management SQL Reports each month to monitor the work study/student assistance charges.

It is commonly understood that government regulations are good because they protect workers and consumers and they keep greedy businessmen in check. But that’s actually not the case. Regulations almost always actually help greedy businessmen. The large corporations that have been around for awhile lobby the government to pass regulations that hurt their competition.
This is why Walmart and other large corporations support raising the minimum wage. Walmart can afford to pay all its workers $12 or $15 an hour. Small convenience stores, mom and pop stores, and smaller competitors cannot afford to pay all of their workers that minimum wage. Some jobs truly are worth $9 an hour or less. And by mandating a minimum wage across the board you destroy all of those jobs (perhaps a high schooler would’ve willingly swept floors or pumped gas for $8 an hour) and you force small businesses to fire their lower skilled workers who aren’t as qualified to earn $15 an hour.
The same is true with strict business regulations governing the operations of a business. Often these regulations that must be fully complied with are quite expensive, which prevents small-level entrepreneurs from starting because they are unable to afford the upfront costs of complying with specific rules and mandates.
Here are some examples of that. A college student invented a hot sauce that was very popular. He was selling it out of his dorm and he won an entrepreneur competition which was going to enable him to officially launch his business. When he found out that the cost to have the government create a nutrition label was $30,000 and that he would be shut down unless he complied, he had no other choice but to cease operations.
Another good example is in the pharmaceutical industry. All these “Berniebros” and their progressive politicians scream bloody murder about Big Pharma jacking up drug prices (which certainly is messed up) yet they refuse to point out the obvious. The FDA is the root cause of the problem. The FDA’s compliance costs for all pharmaceutical companies is in the millions. Small start up companies hoping to do research and development on drugs for rare diseases are unable to start because they cannot afford the time or money necessary to comply with the FDA. Because of all this smaller competition being killed off, the big companies have more room to price gouge.
Another great example is occupational licensing. In Florida you must pass a state-mandated exam in order to work as an interior decorator. The reason given for this by the state was because of “safety,” which is dumb because interior decorating is in no way dangerous. The real reason for these regulations is to protect the interior design cartel. The entrenched businesses want to prevent new entrants. This hurts poor people looking to get into a new industry, by requiring them to pay for an arbitrary test before they can begin working.
Occupational licensing extends beyond just interior design. Today, 30% of jobs in America require you to pass a state-mandated test. In 1950 it was 5%. Occupational licensing is quickly becoming a scourge in the marketplace.
All regulations do is raise the cost of doing business, which obviously helps the large, entrenched businesses and hurts small businesses. These regulations hurt consumers because these regulatory and overhead costs will be passed on to them in the form of higher prices, but also because they now have fewer options in the market because many of the competitors have been driven out. Regulations literally help to create corporate monopolies.

New research project on the collection and recycling of electronic waste from off-grid solar devices
A new research project at the UNEP DTU Partnership will help create better opportunities for collecting and recycling electronic waste from small solar PV systems in Kenya and other African countries
UNEP DTU Partnership, 7 April 2021
Sales of small off-grid solar PV systems have exploded in the last 10-15 years, especially in Africa. In rural areas without access to electricity, these systems are typically used to power everything from mobile chargers and lanterns to radios, televisions and refrigerators.
However, their lifespans are often short, raising concerns about a looming waste crisis. Furthermore, they often contain hazardous substances such as heavy metals, with potentially adverse impacts on human health and the environment.
In Kenya alone, it is estimated that the total amount of electronic waste from solar PV was 4,000 tonnes in 2020, an amount that is expected to increase alongside the continued spread of solar PV in the coming years. Meanwhile, we know little about what happens to solar PV systems after they break down.
Investigating the after-life of off-grid
A new research project at the UNEP DTU Partnership is aiming to change that. The project sets out to investigate the ‘after-life’ of off-grid solar PV devices in Kenya, with a focus on assessing the scale of the problem and identifying ways in which current waste management practices can become more sustainable.
Researchers at the UNEP DTU Partnership are teaming up with leading Kenyan scholars, who contribute to the project with detailed knowledge of the local context and the waste sector. The project also involves researchers from DTU Environment, who have extensive expertise in the design of systems for waste collection and recycling.
Involving the private sector
Suppliers of solar PV systems can play a key role in identifying possible solutions to this waste problem, for example, by designing products that make repairs easier or by introducing systems to collect end-of-life products. For this reason, the project also includes collaborations with a Danish solar PV supplier in Kenya, X-SOLAR, and a local waste recycling firm, Recykla International, which will ensure that the project contributes to providing concrete solutions of relevance to industry.
Moreover, the project includes a partnership with Stena Recycling, one of the largest waste collection companies in Denmark and the Nordic countries, to make sure that the knowledge generated can also inform the handling of solar PV electronic waste in Denmark.
Finally, the project aims to inform the design of national action plans for the management of solar electronic waste in Kenya, which will be facilitated through close cooperation with relevant authorities, including the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA). The project will serve as a key source of information on solar electronic waste of relevance for other African countries.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get a payday loan, there are a few things you need to know. First, it’s important to understand that payday loans online are meant for short-term financial solutions. Second, you’ll need to find a lender that offers loans to people with bad credit. And finally, you’ll need to fill out an application and provide some personal information. Once you’ve been approved for a loan, the money will be deposited into your bank account.
The first step is acknowledging that you have bad credit.
If you have bad credit, it means that you have a limited history of borrowing money or you have made late payments on loans in the past. This can make it difficult to get a loan from a traditional lender because they may view you as a high-risk borrower. However, there are still options available to you if you need to borrow money. One option is to take out a payday loan.
A payday loan is a short-term loan that can help you cover expenses until your next paycheck. These loans are typically for small amounts of money and come with high interest rates. Because of this, it’s important to only take out a payday loan if you absolutely need the money and can repay the loan back quickly.
If you’re considering taking out a payday loan, there are a few things you should know first. In this article, we’ll go over the steps you need to take in order to get a payday loan when you have bad credit.
The second step is understanding that a payday loan is a short-term solution.
A payday loan is a short-term loan that can help you cover immediate expenses. The loan is typically due on your next payday, and you may be required to provide collateral, such as a post-dated check. Payday loans are generally less expensive than other types of loans, but they can still be expensive. You should only use a payday loan if you absolutely need to and if you are sure you can repay the loan on time.
The third step is knowing where to look for a payday loan.
There are a number of online lenders that offer payday loans to people with bad credit. Some of these lenders include CashNetUSA, OppLoans, and LendUp. Each of these lenders has different requirements, so it’s important to do your research before you apply for a loan.
When you’re looking for an online lender, you’ll want to make sure that they’re reputable and that they offer competitive rates. You can read reviews of each lender online, and you should also compare their rates before you apply for a loan.
Once you’ve found a few potential lenders, the next step is to fill out an application. Most online lenders will require you to provide some personal information, such as your name, address, Social Security number, and bank account information. They may also require you to upload some documentation, such as pay stubs or tax returns.
Once you’ve submitted your application, the lender will review it and decide whether or not to approve you for a loan. If you’re approved, the money will be deposited into your bank account within a few days.
The fourth step is to fill out an application.
When you are applying for a payday loan, most online lenders will require you to fill out an application and provide some personal information. This personal information may include your social security number, address, phone number, and employment information. You will also need to provide your bank account information so that the lender can deposit the loan amount into your account.
The fifth step is to receive your loan.
Make sure you have enough money in your account to cover the amount of the loan plus any fees that may be charged.
If you are unable to repay the loan on time, you may be charged additional fees by the lender.
A payday loan can be a great option for people with bad credit who need a short-term financial solution. There are many online lenders that offer payday loans to people with bad credit. Most online lenders will require you to fill out an application and provide some personal information. Once you have been approved for a loan, the money will be deposited into your bank account.

The Wolverines Advance to the Finals of Frozen Four
The Michigan Wolverine hockey team didn't back down from North Dakota's normally swarming offensive barrage, and goalie Kevin Hunwick did everything but stand on his head. The Wolverines will play for the national title. Michigan’s Ben Winnett's first-period goal gave the defensive-minded Wolverines the only offense they needed and Hunwick made 40 saves for his fourth shutout this season in a 2-0 victory over North Dakota on Thursday night in the NCAA semifinals. The Wolverines will move on the championship game of the Frozen Four where they will face the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs.

WASHINGTON, DC – As more consumers opt to trade in traditional cable TV subscriptions for streaming platforms, Comcast has announced plans to spin off several cable television networks into a new company. This move includes popular networks like USA, Oxygen, E!, SYFY, and Golf Channel, as well as movie platforms Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes. However, streaming service Peacock, along with Bravo and other assets, will remain under Comcast’s umbrella.
The decision to separate these assets comes after Comcast hinted at the shift last month and confirmed it this week. Generating around $7 billion in revenue over the past year, these networks accounted for about 5.5% of Comcast’s total revenue during that period. The impact of this split on customers remains uncertain as Comcast plans to complete the transition over the next year.
Analysts suggest that the spun-off networks may have more flexibility to distribute their content elsewhere, potentially offering viewers more choices but also adding complexity to the already fragmented media landscape. This move aligns with a broader trend in the industry as more individuals choose to “cut the cord” on traditional cable services in favor of streaming options.
Industry experts like Paul Verna from eMarketer believe that Comcast’s decision reflects the changing dynamics of the cable TV business, which is experiencing a decline in demand. By divesting from cable networks, Comcast aims to focus on more lucrative areas like streaming, movie studios, and theme parks. This strategic shift aligns with the company’s efforts to adapt to evolving consumer preferences.
The new company resulting from this spin-off is expected to have financial flexibility to pursue partnerships and acquisitions in the media industry. This move underscores Comcast’s commitment to adapting to the changing media landscape and maximizing shareholder returns. While Peacock has emerged as a success story for Comcast, the company’s decision to shed non-core assets signals a deeper commitment to streaming and other revenue streams.
As the industry continues to evolve, analysts anticipate further consolidation in the media sector, with potential acquisitions or partnerships involving the spun-off networks. This could lead to new opportunities for viewers to access content across different platforms and services, ultimately reshaping the media consumption experience.
Overall, Comcast’s strategic shift reflects a broader trend in the media industry as companies navigate the transition from traditional cable to digital platforms. While the future implications of this spin-off remain uncertain, industry experts emphasize the importance of adapting to changing consumer preferences and technological advancements in the media landscape.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Washington Wizards: A Preview and Guide to NBA Streams
The Milwaukee Bucks are set to host the Washington Wizards on December 1st, 2024, at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With the Bucks boasting a strong home advantage and a significant win probability advantage (80.8% to 19.2%), this game promises to be a compelling matchup for basketball enthusiasts.
Team Form and Key Players
The Bucks have been a dominant force in the NBA for several years, led by the two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, their recent form has been hampered by injuries. While Giannis is listed as day-to-day, Khris Middleton remains out following surgery, which is a significant loss for the Bucks.
Despite these setbacks, the Bucks still possess a strong core of talent. Jrue Holiday is a reliable point guard and excellent defender, while Brook Lopez anchors the paint with his shot-blocking prowess. The Bucks will be looking to utilize their size and athleticism to overcome the Wizards' offensive firepower.
The Wizards have been a more inconsistent team in recent years, but they've shown flashes of brilliance, particularly with their potent backcourt. Bradley Beal remains a scoring threat, while Kristaps Porzingis provides a strong inside-outside presence. However, the Wizards' recent performance has been hindered by key injuries. Saddiq Bey is out following surgery, and Malcolm Brogdon remains sidelined with a thumb injury.
The Wizards will need to rely on their outside shooting and the ability to create turnovers to challenge the Bucks. Their success will hinge on the performance of their remaining key players and their ability to exploit any weaknesses in the Bucks' defense.
Venue and Atmosphere
The Fiserv Forum, home to the Milwaukee Bucks, is a state-of-the-art arena known for its vibrant atmosphere. The passionate Bucks fans create a home-court advantage that can be intimidating for opposing teams. Expect a high-energy environment with loud cheers and plenty of excitement surrounding this game.
Injuries and Availability
The injury report is crucial for this matchup, potentially influencing the outcome of the game. As mentioned above, the Bucks are without Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo's status is uncertain. The Wizards are also dealing with significant injuries to Saddiq Bey and Malcolm Brogdon. Keep an eye on the latest injury reports to get a clearer picture of the players who will be available for this game.
How to Watch the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Washington Wizards Game

How a Spa-Like Bathroom Improves Real Estate Value
In this day and age, it seems like the bigger the better, and that goes for real estate as well.
Home improvement has become a huge enterprise in the recent years, with channels like HGTV
drawing in viewers. With that being said, spa-like bathrooms have become more popular with
the recent growth of interest. There is an added bonus to spa styled bathrooms, in addition to
relaxation and bliss, the fact is that it actually improves the real estate value of your home. By
remodeling your bathroom to look and feel like you are at a luxurious spa, you would also be
selling that luxurious spa to the next buyer that can earn you back more than you actually
invested in the first place.
To begin, let’s look at what aspects of the spa can actually influence the value of the bathroom.
According to Page-Pryde Properties, there are four specific trends that can affect the results.
And those are: the free-standing tub, a tranquil color palette, good lighting, and advanced
technological amenities. Elle Décor also suggests evoking all your senses with candles and art
that can help relax you. Ultimately, there are a lot of different things to get the ultimate spa-
styled bathroom. In the following paragraphs you will see examples and possibilities of what
you can do.
The end-goal is to create a relaxing experience, and a free standing tub is the first major
improvement you can make to get that. Jean-Jacques L’Henaff, vice president of design for
American Standard, told Page-Pryde, “Adding a freestanding tub is a cost effective way to evoke
a spa-like atmosphere in any bathroom, and it’s one that really helps elevate the user’s overall
experience”. You should take a look at the shower as well, since a rainfall showerhead is the
epitome of luxurious and feels like you are actually in the rain when you close your eyes. Towels
are also surprisingly effective to the feel of the room – and by that I mean, the fluffier, the
A calm color palette in the spa typically consists of earth tones and should be taken into
consideration when remodeling. It is a simple yet effective way to emit a calming atmosphere.
Above-the- mirror lights can help with the application of makeup and the quality of a close
shave, while soft lights can provide a soothing ambiance. Having extra amenities can boost your
value as well. This can be things like waterproof TVs, heaters, and accessories. The presentation
of things like body scrubs and special soaps on your counter can play a big role in creating the
spa-styled bathroom. Tiles are also a huge “Yes” when considering a remodel. Tiles give off the
illusion of allure and wealth, and you can use them on the floor, on the wall, and in the shower.
Plus, they are easy to clean.
When you remodel your bathroom, on average you can earn back up to 70% of your
investment when the home is sold 5 years after the initial remodeling, according to the 2015
study done by Remodeling. It is said that the bathroom plays a huge role in a buyer’s decision.
And what’s more attractive than a bathroom with luxurious, at-home spa features. According to
HGTV, faucets are an important aspect of the bathroom, along with the countertops and the
shower. They looked at Remodeling’s study from 2004, where a $9,400-bathroom remodel
recouped at 182%. The seller actually made a great profit off their investment.
Remember, the bathroom is the room in the house that goes through the most wear. The
bathroom and the kitchen are comparatively the two most looked at and considered areas of a
house. Buyers will see the house as expensive and in good quality if these two rooms are
managed and decorated well. This is because these rooms are arguably the most used rooms in
the house, and therefore the most seen by others.

Enka Süt was founded in 1985 and originally produced Turkey’s equivalent of feta cheese. Since then, it has progressed strongly and steadily. Today, the company has about 600 employees and produces milk powder, whey powder and dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt to Turkey. Enka Süt is the market leader in whey powder and exports its products to around 40 countries.
One of the company’s production facilities, in the city of Usak, has been using the bag filler Autopac
EC 5.46 from Vebe since 2019. There are several reasons why they choose to use Vebe’s bag filler. Among other things, they appreciate the high level of hygiene that Autopac maintains throughout the bag filling process.
“This machine helps us to meet the high hygiene requirements that exist in the food industry in Turkey”, says Atilla Tas, factory manager at Enka Süt’s plant in Usak.
“Other advantages of Autopac are the automation, the easy switch between bags of different sizes, and its continuous operation. We are very satisfied”, he continues.
Niclas Simonsson, sales manager for Vebe in Turkey, recounts that Enka Süt initially chose Autopac after hearing good reviews about Vebe. They were also attracted by the competitive price and the fact that Autopac is fully automatic.
“In Turkey, manual bag fillers are still common. But from a hygienic point of view, automatic is obviously better. Autopac’s well-thought-out design, with separate spaces for bag handling and machinery, also makes the bag filling process fast and efficient”, he says.
Niclas Simonsson also says that Turkey has become an important market for Vebe in recent years:
”We already have a number of machines running at various facilities in the country.”

Curry leaf, scientifically known as Murraya koenigii, is a small tropical tree native to India and Sri Lanka, although it is now cultivated in various tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Despite its name, curry leaf is not related to the curry spice blend but is prized for its aromatic leaves, which are a staple in South Indian cuisine. Beyond its culinary uses, curry leaf holds significance in traditional medicine and is valued for its health benefits.
Part Used: The primary part of the curry leaf tree used is its leaves. These leaves are highly aromatic and contain essential oils with distinctive flavors, reminiscent of citrus and spice. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, curry leaves are valued for their nutritional content and medicinal properties.
Usage: Curry leaves are a key ingredient in many South Indian dishes, adding a unique flavor and aroma. They are often used fresh or dried in curries, soups, stews, and rice dishes, imparting a subtle yet distinct taste. In addition to their culinary uses, curry leaves have been used in traditional medicine for their digestive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. They are believed to aid in digestion, reduce inflammation, and regulate blood sugar levels.
Agrotechniques: Cultivating curry leaf trees requires a warm, tropical climate with well-drained soil and ample sunlight. The trees can be propagated from seeds or stem cuttings, with planting typically done during the rainy season. Regular watering and occasional fertilization promote healthy growth and leaf production. Curry leaf trees are relatively low-maintenance once established but may benefit from pruning to shape the canopy and encourage branching. Harvesting of leaves can be done as needed, ensuring sustainable practices to maintain the health and productivity of the trees.

Which is better for business, Jupiter or Mercury?
When evaluating which planet, Jupiter or Mercury, is more beneficial for business, it’s essential to understand their unique qualities in Vedic astrology. Both planets offer distinct energies that can influence various aspects of business success, but the answer to which is better depends on the type of business and individual chart dynamics.
Jupiter is known as the planet of wisdom, growth, expansion, and wealth. Its influence is highly favorable for businesses that require long-term growth, ethical practices, and stability. Businesses that deal with education, spiritual guidance, law, finance, and consulting often benefit greatly from Jupiter’s energy. Under the influence of Jupiter, business owners are likely to have a broader perspective and make decisions that contribute to sustainable development. Jupiter promotes generosity and ethical decision-making, which can lead to long-lasting client relationships and respect within the industry.

Moreover, Jupiter’s expansive nature helps business owners think big, setting grand visions and long-term goals. It encourages entrepreneurship based on values, wisdom, and trustworthiness. When Jupiter is favorably positioned in a business owner’s horoscope, it can bring wealth, recognition, and an honorable reputation. Jupiter’s influence fosters not only material gains but also a sense of purpose and fulfillment in business. For those seeking to create something that impacts society positively and ethically, Jupiter is undeniably advantageous.
On the other hand, Mercury is the planet of communication, intelligence, adaptability, and commerce. It is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on networking, negotiation, and quick decision-making. Mercury rules over fields such as trade, technology, marketing, writing, and media. Its fast-moving nature makes it an ideal influence for businesses that thrive on innovation and dynamic change.
Mercury’s strengths lie in its ability to think analytically, process information quickly, and communicate effectively. For businesspeople who need to be agile, adaptive, and constantly in tune with market trends, Mercury offers significant advantages. Mercury-ruled individuals excel in networking, marketing, and public relations, which can be pivotal in expanding a business’s reach and visibility. Additionally, businesses that require the use of technology, data analysis, and strategic partnerships benefit greatly from Mercury’s sharp intellectual influence.
Mercury also supports businesses that require versatility and rapid adaptation to changing market conditions. Its influence can be particularly beneficial for startups, tech companies, traders, and entrepreneurs who operate in fast-paced industries. Unlike Jupiter, which encourages long-term strategies, Mercury is more about quick thinking and making the most of short-term opportunities. This makes it a better planet for businesses that need to pivot quickly and take advantage of emerging trends.
Ultimately, the question of whether Jupiter or Mercury is better for business depends on the nature of the business itself and the goals of the entrepreneur. If the business is grounded in ethical practices, long-term growth, and wealth accumulation over time, Jupiter’s expansive and wise energy would be more favorable. However, for businesses that thrive on quick adaptability, communication, networking, and short-term gains, Mercury’s influence would be more beneficial.
It is important to note that individual birth charts and astrological placements play a significant role in determining which planetary energy will be more supportive in one’s business endeavors. A combination of both Jupiter and Mercury can often yield the best results, as they balance wisdom with agility, and long-term growth with quick-witted adaptability.
For those who are keen on ethical practices, trust-building, and long-lasting business ventures, Jupiter provides a foundation for sustainable success. Meanwhile, Mercury helps businesses that depend on clever communication, technology, and staying ahead in fast-paced industries. The best approach is to understand your personal astrological chart, align it with your business goals, and tap into the energies of these planets to create a balanced and successful enterprise. By blending Jupiter’s wisdom and Mercury’s intelligence, businesses can achieve both stability and growth in a competitive market.

I acquired Hoya pubicalyx “Black Dragon” around 14 months ago along with its counterpart “White Dragon.” Joni at SRQ Hoyas imported it from Forrest Treasures in the Philippines. It is a very unusual pubicalyx in that the leaves are all lime green with no markings at all. My plant has just bloomed under the relatively low light conditions of my grow tent so it is not nearly as black as the photo on the Forrest Treasures Website. I was very interested in the origins of this plant asked George Mendoza the owner of Forrest Treasures about it. Here is his reply:
The H. pubicalyx “Black Dragon” is not a hybrid. It was collected along the shorelines hanging on a cliff in western part of Luzon Island here in the Philippines. It has it’s counter part the “White Dragon” soon to be name H. celata. I’m glad to know that you like the “Black Dragon”.
This is truly a fantastic plant that blooms well and very dark even under grow lights. I can enthusiastically recommend it to everyone. Wonderful plant!!!!!!

Are you looking to extend the usability of your garden? Are you looking to revitalise your space with something that will beautifully blend into your garden? Then perhaps you should consider installing hardwood decking. Here at Vetraland Selective Timber, we’re all about providing you with the quality timber for whatever hardwood decking you’re planning on creating. We know that a garden deck is an exceptional landscaping feature that can be used as an outdoor dining or seating space, as a poolside or hot tub, or even as a garden path. It’s a great addition to any space and once you’ve found the perfect timber for your aesthetic, then you can create the most amazing hardwood decking for you to enjoy.
Buying Some Hardwood Decking
Often people misunderstand the concept of hardwood against softwood, expecting one to actually be soft and actually be hard, but this isn’t the case at all. Hardwood timbers are taken from slow growing, broadleaved trees, such as elm, oak, teak, cherry and maple. They are a great choice for checking in particular because they’re durable and dense. If you’re looking for a way to create decking, then you’ll find that hardwood decking is a great choice for you, especially as they are beautiful colours.
Why choose hardwood decking?
Hardwood decking is a great choice for your garden because it is a natural material that is suited to the outdoors. Though many people consider timber to be something that falls apart and decays over time, when it is properly maintained it will last for decades. Because of this it is resistant to scratches and which means that over time it will continue to look as fantastic as the day that you’ve first installed it. This makes it a great space for you and your friends to spend time with no matter how many years pass.
Another reason that hardwood decking is a great choice for your garden is just how good it looks. There are so many reasons why it’s a great choice for your aesthetic, particularly as it’s natural durability makes it a long lasting choice. Hardwood timber is gorgeous, particularly as the slow growth has meant that beautiful grain has developed overtime. This means that the entire look of the timber is just so stunning, natural and beautiful to look at. This look won’t fade in the sun either because of its natural durability, meaning that it will continue to look beautiful throughout the years. Additionally, hardwood decking is a great choice because it beautifully blends into the natural garden, rather than being a harsh juxtaposition.
Want to find out more?
If you’re interested in having hardwood decking in your back garden, then feel free to speak to us about the timber that we offer. If you’re unsure exactly which hardwood decking you might want, then we can offer you advice and recommendations about which hardwood timber would be the right one for you!

Incham launches pharmaceutical seminar
The Indian Chamber of Business in Vietnam (Incham) has organised a seminar on the pharmaceutical industry’s outlook this year with the participation of local state officials, hospital representatives, importers and their foreign partners at Sheraton Saigon Hotel.
The event, “Pharmaceutical Outlook 2011”, is a chance for Indian and Vietnamese firms operating in the field and other related sectors to bolster their partnerships, said Anand Ramesh Mokan from Canopus Co – Incham host.
It is also an opportunity for Indian pharmaceutical firms to gain more accessibility to Vietnamese hospitals in the city, he said.
Incham has 42 member companies operating in pharmaceutical manufacturing and trading among 120 Indian firms operating in the industry with over 4,500 products in Vietnam. Many of them have started their business here since 1990s.
The city authorities will help facilitate the integration of Indian medicine into around 100 hospitals in the city, said Pham Viet Thanh, director of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health.
“If Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers and exporters meet all the requirements of bidding procedures at our hospitals, we believe that the integration is just a matter of time,” he said.
“There is no discrimination between Indian, European and American pharmaceutical firms in applying for tender bid for medicine purchases at HCMC hospitals,” he told Tuoi Tre.
Indian-made medicines can help Vietnam reduce healthcare expenditures due to increased availability of Indian products in public hospitals, which will help the government of Vietnam to expand health insurance scheme to a larger population, said Kailash Patki, country director of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Co Ltd in Vietnam.
They will also increase the accessibility of Vietnamese patients to newer medicines for the most fatal diseases including HIV/AIDS and cancers, he added.
Indian-made medicines, meeting any strictest international standards, can be averagely 10-times cheaper than those produced in developed world.
Many EU and US pharmaceutical firms have been outsourcing their Research and Development (R&D) work in India to cut cost and make use of its talent pool of around 11,000 post-graduates in biochemistry and chemistry passing out along with 2,500 chemical engineers and around 4,500 pursuing PhD in science annually.
India has the largest number of US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved manufacturing facilities outside the US. They have been expanded overseas to US, UK, Germany, Mexico, Italy, Spain, Brazil, France, the Netherlands, Malaysia and China.
It is also the production base for world’s top companies, such as Pfizer, Astra Zeneca, Eli Lilly, GSK and Abbot. In NCE R&D, it has around 100 new molecules under different stages of development.
India is now the world’s 3rd and 14th largest producers of pharmaceuticals by volume and value respectively. It is exporting medicines to 151 countries and territories worldwide.
Its leading foreign markets last year were US, UK, and Germany with $1.8 billion, $264 million and $243 million respectively. Vietnam was ranked 12th among its top foreign markets with around $103 million. – Tuoitre News

Happy Monday, reader! Welcome to this week’s manicure. My look this week is simple but striking. I used Sally Hansen’s Blazing Blue as the base, Digital Nails‘s Winter is Coming for the glitter accents, and one coat of Seche Vite to finish it off.
Blazing Blue is a polish I’ve had a long time. You can’t tell from the photos, but this bottle is about half-full. Of course, this was a well-loved polish back when I only had 20 bottles or so; this is one of the stalwart veterans from when I first started my collection. This is actually the first time I’ve used it in a couple of years. I must admit, however, I hated using it today. First, I had to thin it, because it was a goopy mess when I first opened it. I also hate the Insta-Dry brush; it’s too wide for my small nails, and so I didn’t get a good application. Even worse, the formula is really smudgy; when I applied the glitter, some blue came off on the brush and left some holes in the color. Some smudged on the glitter, too. When I cleaned up my cuticles, I had so much smeared blue on my hands it looked like a pen exploded. I still couldn’t get some of it off, and my cuticles are still a mess. Cleanup took ages. I love this color, but it was such a hassle to use today.
Winter is Coming is amazing. It is packed with white and various colors of blue glitters in a myriad of shapes. There are also some rose-gold glitters in there that I didn’t notice until today. It all comes together in a light blue jelly base. Some of the glitters are the same color as the base, but that’s kinda cool; you see the glint without being able to see where it comes from. The lighter ones stand out very well. It’s a great glitter topper and I suspect it would look fantastic over anything.
You guessed it — my DSLR is still out for repairs. I took it to a local repair shop, and they ended up having to send it to Canon. So yeah. I do apologize; I had no idea it would be gone this long, and I’m dying to start swatching again. I’ve got so many polishes I want to use, and so many I thought I would have gotten to by now that are just sitting on my desk. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer.

Welcome back, reader! Even though I’m swatching a lot of new stuff from The Indie Shop Atlanta, I still have some swatches in the slush pile waiting to be published, and this is one of them. This is Finger Paints’s Psychedelic Hue; I’m wearing one coat over Sally Hansen’s Grey Area (gray), Deborah Lippmann’s She Bop (pink), and Zoya’s Chantal (nude), as well as a coat of Seche Vite top coat.
Psychedelic Hue is a clear-based flakie topper with green-to-blue shifting flakies. Application was good; the flakies distribute very easily over the nail when brushing it on. The product consistency is on the thin side, but the flakies suspend very well. Drying times were good, and the polish dries smooth to the touch. I used top coat for extra shine.
I adore flakie top coats. This one’s pretty basic as far as flakie toppers go; of course, this one’s been around a while and they’ve come a good way since then. I wanted to show this one over a few different colors, and unfortunately, the bright natural sunshine kind of washed it out over the lighter colors. With the lighter shades, the individual flakies aren’t as defined, but the shine and iridescence are still visible. Over the darker color, it looks fantastic; everything is nicely defined and exciting. The following photos were taken in the shade, attempting to show off the color better over the lighter colors.
I believe Psychedelic Hue was discontinued by Finger Paints; other Finger Paints polishes are available at Sally Beauty Supply.

Get auto insurance designed to help protect you and your car, as well as the people around you. Car insurance coverage can vary from state to state, so it’s important to know what’s included in your basic coverage, the policy limits and what, if anything, you may need to add.
Deductibles and Limits
Your car insurance deductible is the amount you’ll pay out of pocket before your insurance kicks in. The lower the deductible, the less you’ll pay out of pocket if an accident occurs. Selecting a higher deductible may lower your auto insurance premium.
Your car insurance coverage limits also referred to as limit of liability, are the most your insurance will pay if you have a claim. Choosing a higher coverage amount provides you additional protection if an accident occurs.
The available coverage limits may vary by coverage type and state. It is important to choose limits that meet your needs.

Distance 16 km
Duration 4 hours 5 minutes
Ascent 634 m, descent 144 m
Map 59 in the TOP100 blue series (now superseded)
We had decided to leave Robert Louis to his rambling and head south. It was a long crossing with no villages until l’Esperou, on the far side of Mt Aigoual, so accommodation would be difficult. Before we set off in the morning, I rang the gîte at l’Hospitalet, which did not answer, then the one at Aire de Côte, at the foot of Mt Aigoual, and was told that they were booked out for the following night.
As we walked into town for our second breakfast, I found I was once again crippled by blisters. It was all I could do to creep crabwise to the avenue of cafés. Over coffee and pastries, we agonised about whether to press on southwards, finish the Stevenson walk, or call the whole thing off. The indecision was the worst part of it.
In desperation I rang l’Hospitalet again and spoke to a woman who agreed that we could eat there tonight and pitch our tent next to the gîte. This gave us our first night’s accommodation and we decided to give it a go. My blisters were still bad, but not as excruciating as they had been earlier, so we made reasonable progress.
There was a long stage on a dirt road rising above the Tarnon, then a series of steeper and steeper tracks until we gained the plateau. We had re-entered the National Park of the Cévennes, having left it briefly at Florac, but this part had none of the wild beauty of Mt Lozère or the Tarn valley.
Bare fields, fences, occasional houses and a tar road with telegraph poles were the elements of this landscape. After three hours, we paused for lunch under a pine tree, beside a flowering bush that looked suspiciously like a noxious weed to Australian eyes.
From there it was only a few kilometres to the gîte at l’Hospitalet. An isolated stone building, ravaged by time, housed both the gîte and the hotel. The sign hung faded and crooked from its post, the yard was a weedy wasteland and nobody was about.
Stepping into the dark bar, we discerned a woman and I introduced myself as the person who had telephoned about camping. The only other occupant of the room was a paunchy old fellow reading the paper.
We sat down for coffee and as our eyes adjusted to the gloom, we saw that our hostess was a stoop-shouldered, lank-haired, shifty-eyed young woman, seemingly the wife or daughter of the fossil in the chair.
When we asked about showers, he suddenly began shouting “Only with a room! Not with camping!” The woman shouted back with a will and led us firmly upstairs where we had the finest, hottest showers we had had for weeks. She had no idea what to charge us for this so I suggested €6, which seemed to satisfy her.
Outside in the sorry, neglected yard, we began pitching our tent, when the old man waddled out and began shouting again “No camping! No camping!”, shooing us with his hands.
We obliged him only to the extent of moving to the far end of the yard, which we suspected would have been a car park if there had been any guests. The shouting continued during the afternoon while we rested, probably centered on the rights and wrongs of our camping. Looking back, we probably should have left them to it and struggled on to the next gîte, but the blister problem held us back.
In the evening we presented ourselves at the bar again. The TV was absorbing the attention of the angry old man and the woman had a customer – a skinny, broken-toothed local man, whose charms, while invisible to us, caused our hostess to simper and giggle. Good luck to her, poor girl. God knows what sort of family hatreds were festering in that house of horrors. We beamed encouragingly at her at every opportunity.
Protected by the television, we had a surprisingly good meal cooked by the woman – a ham and tomato dish to begin, then steak with little squares of potato, then cheese and icecream. The wine was “Cuvée de l’Hospitalet”, bottled especially for this derelict dump, presumably in happier times.
During the night, we almost expected to be murdered in our tent, or to hear a murder being committed in the house. The ground was lumpy and we spent an uncomfortable night.

On the Eternal Importance of Demographics and Allies
In my last essay, “A Neflix Assessment of China’s Rise and America’s Advantage,” I used the word “never” to express a conviction — as in, China “will never dominate” the Indo-Asia Pacific “for one simple and unavoidable reason: everybody else.” In response, fellow War on the Rocks contributor Dean Cheng called this phrase into question, asserting I ought “never say never.” He argued strongly against such an absolute statement, which I must grudgingly admit is generally true. But Cheng went too far when he suggested “nevers should be reserved for changes in laws of physics – and even then, there are circumstances where it’s much more ‘extremely probable’ rather than ‘never.’” But there must some limits, right? Or is it possible the Black Flag of New Zealand might someday sit atop the fiery ashes of Beijing, following military (non-rugby) conquest?
Helpfully, Cheng’s rejoinder did chop down my essay’s errant tree. Yet he missed the argument’s forest: namely, that digital culture has led to a proliferation of think tank voyeurism, in which the visual is emphasized at the expense of the important. As such, I drew attention to America’s comparative advantage – demographics and allies – in a geostrategic net assessment.
Cheng dismissed demography, and wrote that my essay “points to China’s purportedly inauspicious demographics and lack of allies especially to explain why [China’s rise is constrained].” But isn’t this a fact? China faces serious demographic challenges and a vanishingly small stable of allies. Full stop. Both are exploitable, consequential American leverage points. Perhaps this could be expressed in a more relative way: China’s demographics do not look so weak when compared to Japan’s “graying” population, and their global allies are on par with those of North Korea.
Absolute or relative, demographics matter. When the head of the National Intelligence Council, charged with the official U.S. glimpse into the future, recently retired, he wrote a book on dominant strategic trends. Demographics featured prominently on 12 of 250 pages, particularly with respect to China. And when historian Williamson Murray penned an assessment of the threats military forces will face in the next decades, his first port of call was demographics. Strategists, whether oriented forward or backward, futurist or historian, know and employ demographics in their estimates.
Cheng also was “curious about what the U.S. military is teaching its strategists.” As we are a rowdy, diverse bunch, I certainly cannot claim to speak for the broader field. But I would say a common catechism in our community comes from Stephen Covey: “begin with the end in mind.” Cheng, instead, focused on tactical and mid-course examples to reject the relevance of allies, and stated: “great strategists like Napoleon were leery of allies,” and then bid us recall how personally difficult de Gaulle was, as well to remember the British stumble at Singapore in 1942.
But how did these stories finish? In the end, by the hand of a multinational alliance, Napoleon found himself “reduced to passivity” in a jail cell, on an island so insignificant even today it lacks an airport. And did he fail to notice who won the Second World War? De Gaulle was prickly, sure; the British took their lumps in battle, true; but wasn’t it “the Allies” that went on to strategic victory? Lawrence Freedman’s book on strategy highlights this very point: Alliances, or “combining with others,” are often “the most astute strategic move.” Or, for a second opinion, we could consult another British strategist:
To Churchill, there was only one thing worse than having allies — not having allies.

The dynamic duo of Robbie Landis and Ben Morse is back once again for another episode of the Other Identity. The Other Identity is a podcast about exploring the culture created by comic books. This week Robbie and Ben exchange blows and put their partnership at risk. They take all 23 canon movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and attempt a ranking of them from worst to best.
From the first Iron Man and the forgotten Hulk movie, up through Captain America: Civil War (aka Avengers 2.5) and onwards to the Endgame. The Marvel Cinematic Universe boosts 23 movies of varying quality. While there may be stinker or two among them, they are for the most part an assortment of great superhero flicks. Robbie and Ben attempt to come together as one cohesive unit and rank them definitively. Spoilers: that doesn’t happen, compromises must be made and they’re made as soon as the 22nd entry.
Warning: this episode of The Other Identity will anger you. You will seethe with rage, you will shout at no one in particular and likely stomp off to social media to tell us how wrong we are. Good. Do it. Listen to this compromised version of the rankings and know that no matter how you think Avengers: Age of Ultron should be…it’s not high enough. Know that Ben did Doctor Strange a great injustice. Know, good listener, that the perfect rankings of these movies do not exist, but this is probably as close as anyone will ever get.

When working on the simple work order system for my friend, I found a few places where the built-in Google Apps Script classes didn't have methods that did what I needed. There were also situations where I was making the same long chain of method calls over and over. So I wrote a couple of helper functions to facilitate simplifying these other parts of the script.
I recently had a friend ask me to help him put together a simple work order system for his property management business. I hadn't really used Google Apps Script before, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to write some posts about things I learned along the way.

Then it was time to release a new and stylish song by the superb duo Cowboy Sad.
This duo mixes big emotions with small touches. It’s a mix of Singer Songwriter and alt rock with some country elements.
Or as the duo themselves says:
- The wait is over, we’re releasing something new! Here the bass is pumped like never before and the guitars have been given, if possible, even more space. Basball Jim’s voice is on the verge of bursting with pain in this beautiful text about the eternal theme of the problems of duality, or loneliness in it.
In other words, a beautiful and atmospheric melody about both blackness and pain.

A report from the Times Union says that Grandma's Pies, the iconic Colonie restaurant and pie shop, may have served up it's last slice of down home goodness on Sunday. Sad news for the longstanding restaurant that many people here in the Capital Region have a strong nostalgic connection to.
It's official. Our hometown Albany Empire will forever be known as the last Arena Football League champion because today comes the somber news that fans were hoping they wouldn't hear. The Arena Football League and our hometown Albany empire are officially dead.
What a great show last night! I can't remember an awards show with so many really awesome performances! I have to say my favorite was Eric Church's acoustic version of "Like Jesus Does". A Close second though, would have to be The Band Perry who left it all out there on the stage.

The Quiescence (also called the Sleeping Curse) is the inherent sympathy of Sleepers (and humankind in general) to the Abyss. Mages call it an affliction of the soul that came into being after the Exarchs assumed their Supernal Thrones and Atlantis sunk beneath the sea. The resulting rift between Fallen and Supernal World begat the Abyss, whose very presence dampens the soul spark of beings within the Fallen World, cutting them off from their source in the Supernal Realm. In a sense, the Abyss cuts off the oxygen that the fire of the soul needs to stay alive. It never completely diminishes the spark, but it quells it enough to keep most mortals from realizing the true nature of reality. Instead, they believe the Lie, the falsehood shown to them by the Quiescence of their souls.
The Quiescence is even more pernicious, however, in that it actively seeks to keep Sleepers from Awakening. Any hint of the Supernal World is resisted. The very sight or sensation of magic causes a Sleeper’s soul to flinch and the Abyss to stir. Mages believe that this Dissonance is the result of their inherent abyssal sympathy. Sleepers hover near the Void, savoring the far shores on the other side, but have not the strength to attempt the crossing —unless they Awaken.
There are a few mortals whose souls have stirred just enough to rise above the Quiescence, but not enough to be called Awake. They have not heard the call of a Watchtower, and remain ignorant about magic and the truth behind reality unless it is taught to them. These half-aware mortals are called Sleepwalkers, or sometimes “lucid dreamers.”
In the Second Edition, Sleepwalkers now explicitly also includes any mortal who has a supernatural merit or a minor supernatural template, such as Ghouls, Wolf-blooded, psychics, magicians, and the like.

Making the Stuffed Chicken
(scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe!)
Preparing the Chicken Breasts
Pat 4 medium chicken breasts completely dry then carefully cut a horizontal slit in each. (about 2/3 of the way through)
Season the chicken with s&p to taste then dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
Now we’re ready to pan sear the chicken breasts in oil/butter until a deep golden brown on each side.
Why are we searing before filling the chicken? This prevents the filling from falling out when you’re searing it! A nifty little trick a sweet reader shared with me. ♥
Roasted Red Pepper Spinach Mozzarella Filling
Saute sliced roasted red peppers and fresh baby spinach in a little olive oil until the spinach is just wilted.
Toss a little fresh minced garlic into the pan and let that cook 1 minute until fragrant. Season ‘er up with more s&p to taste!
Let the filling cool off slightly. While you’re waiting, slice a few thick slices of fresh mozzarella (I recommend a low-moisture fresh mozzarella)
Stuffing and Baking the Chicken
Stuff each seared chicken breast with the pepper/spinach filling and a slice of mozzarella. If you’re worried about the filling falling out while it bakes, feel free to secure with toothpicks!
Bake the chicken 20-25 minutes until each breast temps 165F. Serve alongside your desired side dish!

Damn, the internet chefs went hard this past week! They stirred up some serious chow in the VPN industry, then moved on to a data breach affecting roughly half of France - and that's not even the whole course! Let's start this week off with a few bite-size VPN appetizers.
Express VPN's Windows versions 12.23.1 – 12.72.0, published between May 19, 2022, and Feb. 7, 2024, had a bug that exposed domains visited by users, specifically those using the split tunnel feature. The bug caused the DNS requests to be directed to the user's ISP instead of the Express VPN infrastructure on apps that should have been routed through the VPN connection. Considering the length of time this bug existed, it may take time for the full scope of repercussions to be revealed.
Ivanti has a widely used (more than 40,000 customers) enterprise VPN, which is now seeing hackers mass exploiting the multiple vulnerabilities present in the software. This is the fourth recent disclosure of vulnerabilities from Ivanti, with fingers being pointed at a China-based hacking group "likely motivated by espionage."
WiinStar, the Oklahoma-based, self-proclaimed "world's biggest casino" (by square footage), left one of its logging databases on the internet without a password. This means that anyone with knowledge of its public IP address could access the WinStar customer data, all from the comfort of their web browser. Exposed data included: full names, phone numbers, email addresses, device IP addresses, and home addresses. Not a good look, WinsStar.
You read that right, nearly half of La Populace's data was exposed in a major security breach last week. Two third-party healthcare payment systems, Viamedis and Almerys, both experienced serious breaches in late January. An estimated 33 million customers are affected, with the exposed data including dates of birth, marital status, social security numbers, and insurance information. Allegedly, no banking info, medical data, or contact information was compromised.
- If you use Express VPN Split Tunneling on Windows, your DNS records have been leaking for years
- Enterprise Customers Be 'Ware, Ivanti VPN is seriously dropping the ball
- WinStar casino has a serious case of bad cybersecurity practices
- Nearly half the population of France was affected by a major data leak
This week the internet chefs really stepped up their game.; they're really on one with this year's theme. The latest assortment of delectable news bites has a distinctive chaotic aftertaste, indicating larger things for the rest of the year. One thing remains clear week after week: the time to start protecting yourself online was yesterday. If you're just getting started, we've laid out a lot of the basics for you.

Advocates argue that the acts of collecting and distributing makes these people “journalists.” This is like saying someone who carries a scalpel is a “citizen surgeon” or someone who can read a law book is a “citizen lawyer.”
It is precisely the fact that occupational journalists are not “professionals” on the same plane with physicians (or nurses, attorneys, veterinarians, accountants or even optometrists) that is finally being exposed by blogging.
Elsewhere, Kip wrote:
…journalism is not a true profession, therefore there is no such thing as a “professional journalist”…
Actually, I think anyone who gets paid for journalism is a professional journalist, but that doesn’t make journalism a profession. It’s unfortunate that the word root has these two different meanings, but I think the first one is as correct as the second.
That said, one of the distinguishing features of a profession is that you can get sued if you screw it up, and that just doesn’t happen to journalists, as far as I know.
I’m not just talking about getting sued for libel or invasion of privacy—we can all be sued for those—I’m talking about a legal obligation to give correct information. If journalism was a profession, then licensed journalists who screwed up a story could be sued by readers who relied on it and suffered damages.
Occupational journalists face no mandatory educational curricula. They face no licensing examinations, no continuing education requirements, and need not subscribe to any legally binding code of ethics.
The very fact that occupational journalists often cannot see the difference between a journalist and a surgeon is why they are increasingly being ignored. They are not credentialed — and it drives them batty that laypersons no longer see any need afford them the respect that they afford the true (i.e., credentialed) professions.
From my reading of Hazinski’s piece, that’s precisely what he’d like to change, with national standards and licensing—much of which would depend on journalism professors like him.
Although Kip characterizes this as “licensing bloggers” I really don’t think that’s where Hazinski was going. I think he’s mostly trying to warn mainstream media companies to be careful about publishing web stories or photos contributed by outsiders, and to that end, he has several recommendations:
- Major news organizations must create standards to substantiate citizen-contributed information and video, and ensure its accuracy and authenticity.
- They should clarify and reinforce their own standards and work through trade organizations to enforce national standards so they have real meaning.
- Journalism schools such as mine at the University of Georgia should create mini-courses to certify citizen journalists in proper ethics and procedures, much as volunteer teachers, paramedics and sheriff’s auxiliaries are trained and certified.
(There’s so much wrong in that last paragraph. I’m not sure which is worse, that he thinks an uncertified journalist is as dangerous as an uncertified paramedic or that—by lumping them in with volunteer teachers and cops—he seems to think paramedics are are some kind of volunteer doctor.)
The national standards and certification are a silly idea, but the training is not. I do some citizen journalism for the Chi-Town Daily News, and we have regular training sessions where experienced journalists explain the rules and the tricks of the trade. The stories are small-time and local, but that’s kind of the point of citizen journalism.

One type of music that I think is great fun is the kind that I hear and think, “This would be great at a cocktail party.” Sometime the cocktail party might actually be just a little happy hour at home, celebrating the end of the work week with my husband&or it might be we have friends coming over and we feel like having a drink and putting on something snappy to set the mood. In recent years, I’ve come to enjoy some music of this type that is produced with a cross-cultural and cross-generational flavor. Two favorites of mine are Pink Martini and Paris Combo. These groups are a great starting point for a compare and contrast pairing party. Pink Martini has three CDs out, and all of them are great. This group is out of Portland, Oregon, and has been an international touring sensation in recent years. Pink Martini is a large group, and many of the members are classically trained musicians. Their lush arrangements cover a variety of musical territory – for example, the first album contains both Ravel’s “Bolero” and “Que Sera Sera.” The wonderful lead vocalist, China Forbes, sings in several languages. Paris Combo has a nifty, swinging French or European vibe. Again, their songs cover a broad musical spectrum, with unique instrumentation and many languages. One moment is a classic sounding piece, the next might be a French cafe type song, and the next, a lively tune with a polka feel. A variety of wine pairings would work for this music – but it would be particularly appropriate to choose Williamette Valley Oregon wines in honor of Pink Martini, and French wines as a nod to Paris Combo. Brie or Camembert cheese along with some summer fruit and baguette slices or crackers, good wine, and this fun, lively music will jump start your happy hour – or your happy evening!
Wines: Oregon Red – Fiddlehead Pinot Noir, Oldsville Reserve 2001; French Red – Hugel et Fils Pinot Noir Jubilee 2003; Oregon White – Ponzi Vineyards Chardonnay Reserve; French White – Las Heritiers du Comte Lafon Macon Chardonnay Clos del la Crochette
- Pink Martini – “Sympthique,” “Hang on Little Tomato” or “Hey Eugene!” and
- Paris Combo – “Attraction” or “Motifs”

Understanding Dementia: Beyond Forgetfulness
- Memory Loss that Disrupts Daily Activities: Forgetting recent conversations, important appointments, or frequently needing reminders for routine tasks.
- Difficulties with Planning and Problem-Solving: Struggling with tasks like managing finances, following recipes, or making decisions about daily activities.
- Challenges Completing Familiar Tasks: Difficulty performing previously manageable tasks like playing cards, getting dressed independently, or using household appliances.
- Disorientation in Time and Place: Getting lost in familiar surroundings, losing track of dates or seasons, or experiencing confusion about the time of day.
- Visual and Spatial Issues: Trouble judging distances, difficulties recognizing objects, or challenges navigating familiar spaces.
- Language Problems: Struggling to find the right words, following conversations, or experiencing changes in speech patterns.
- Misplacing Things and Inability to Retrace Steps: Placing items in unusual locations and forgetting where they were put.
- Poor Decision-Making: Making risky financial choices or neglecting personal hygiene.
- Social Withdrawal: Losing interest in hobbies, social activities, or withdrawing from previously enjoyed interactions.
- Mood Changes and Personality Shifts: Becoming easily upset, withdrawn, anxious, suspicious, or exhibiting personality changes unfamiliar to loved ones.
Diagnosis and Daily Living with Dementia
Diagnosing dementia involves a series of steps, including medical history reviews and cognitive assessments. While there’s no cure, early detection helps manage symptoms and plan for the future. The team at Ivory facilitates these Cognitive Health Checkups that detect modifiable risk factors that help minimize cognitive decline. It is recommended for everyone above 40.
The progression of dementia varies, with each stage presenting its own challenges. Early stages involve mild memory lapses, while later stages may require greater dependence on others.
Taking Charge of Your Health: Early Detection and Intervention
- Recognizing Early Signs: Pay attention to changes in memory, behavior, and mood.
- Consulting Healthcare Professionals: Seeking medical advice early allows for timely diagnosis and personalized care plans.
- Creating a Supportive Environment: Making adjustments at home and in daily routines can help manage symptoms and promote independence.
Embracing Support and Stay Connected
- Joining Support Groups: Meeting others facing similar challenges can provide understanding and shared experiences.
- Exploring Community Services: Many communities offer services like transportation assistance and senior centers that provide stimulating activities.
- Family and Caregiver Support: Taking care of yourself is just as important as caring for your loved one. Seek help and guidance when needed.
Dementia can develop at any age, but the risk increases significantly after 65. However, some forms of dementia, like early-onset Alzheimer’s, can appear in individuals as young as 30. This highlights the importance of early detection and proactive management, regardless of age. Whether you’re navigating the early signs or supporting a loved one through advanced stages, every step in this journey deserves compassion, understanding, and dedicated care.
Additionally, Dementia India Alliance offers a helpline for caregivers. Manned by expert professionals in Dementia care. Whether you’re struggling with challenging behaviours or need help accessing care, the helpline is there for you. Save the number —8585990990— and share it far and wide.
Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Together, we can create a community where every senior living with dementia feels valued, understood, and supported.
Written by: Ivory, an organisation dedicated to enhancing brain health and memory care for older adult.

What plate is the Ring of Fire?
The Ring of Fire is largely a result of plate tectonics, where the massive Pacific Plate interacts with less-dense plates surrounding it. Click below to visit our MapMaker Interactive map of tectonic activity in the Ring of Fire.
Which plate edge contains the Ring of Fire?
It is made up of over 75 percent of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes. The Ring of Fire is located along the borders of the Pacific Plate and other tectonic plates.
Where is Hawaii in the Ring of Fire?
Hawaii sits smack dab in the middle of the Ring of Fire, a 25,000 mile boundary around the Pacific Ocean where tectonic plates meet to create volcanoes, earthquakes, and deep ocean trenches.
Is it safe to live near the Ring of Fire?
Many people risk living on or near volcanoes because the soil is good for farming. Volcanoes are also popular tourist attractions, which can help build up the local economy. Earthquakes can cause serious structural damage to buildings and can be deadly to citizens, especially during the aftershocks.
How close is Hawaii to the Ring of Fire?
How is the ring of fire a plate boundary?
The Ring of Fire is the result of plate tectonics. Much of the volcanic activity occurs along subduction zones which are convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates come together. The heavier plate is shoved (or subducted) under the other plate.
Where does the ring of fire take place?
The Ring of Fire is a string of underwater volcanoes and earthquake sites around the edges of the Pacific Ocean. Much of the volcanic activity occurs along subduction zones which are convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates come together. The heavier plate is shoved (or subducted) under the other plate.
What makes up the top of the ring of fire?
The top part of Earth is called the crust. It’s like the planet’s skin. The Ring of Fire is formed by huge pieces of crust called tectonic plates. The plates are as large as continents. They are always moving.
How long is the ring of fire in kilometers?
Its length is approximately 40,000 kilometers (24,900 miles). It traces boundaries between several tectonic plates—including the Pacific, Juan de Fuca, Cocos, Indian-Australian, Nazca, North American, and Philippine Plates.

Preparing for the two organ duet concerts with Jaime Carini created a very intense week. I hope you enjoyed the video from our first day of practice in the last newsletter. ( Click here in case you missed it or to see it again.) We also posted Promenade by Dello Joio from our practice session in Daytona here. By far, the most popular piece on the program was the set of waltzes by Johann Strauss Jr. transcribed for four feet. These were very challenging to learn as we often found ourselves playing the exact same notes right after each other. We had to practice slowly and watch where and how we moved to each note in order to make sure we didn’t step on each other or keep the other person from getting to the proper location. We even took a little video to see if we could spot any better ways to stay out of each others way. Have a look and see for yourself: Pedal Practice for Strauss Waltzes.
Naji Hakim – The Apostles
It was a great joy to play the US premier of movements from The Apostles by Naji Hakim. We have audio and video from both concerts, and I hope we will receive permission from Hakim to post a couple of excerpts on YouTube. We enjoyed doing these concerts together, and we both hope to be able to play the pieces again in other locations as well as actually learn all the movements of The Apostles.
John Stainer – The Crucifixion
After putting Jaime on the plane early Monday morning, I went up to Leesburg that evening to play for a rehearsal of The Crucifixion by John Stainer at Morrison United Methodist Church. When I last played the piece, I burned my hand the week before the concert, so had to play the piece using basically only my right hand and pedal with a few single notes by my left hand and a little assistance from my page turner for a couple of passages where Stainer requires the organist to play on two separate manuals. The concert is tonight at 7:30 pm. I am looking forward to it as not only a wonderful musical event for the Lenten season, but also as a chance to finally play the piece uninjured and pain free!
Even though I know many of you are not able to attend these events in person, I hope that the clips on YouTube provide some entertainment. Once this set of concerts is over, I hope to be able to post more videos of performances and improvisations in the next few months. I also wish to continue exploring how music gets both to and from the written page.
Hoping spring arrives in April!

New Hampshire Snowboarder Shares Incredible Journey in Inspirational Documentary
There is persistence. And then, there is P-E-R-S-I-S-T-E-N-C-E.
While many cite 2020 as the year the world changed, one Keene man would instead point to 2014. That’s when Trevor Kennison fell while he was snowboarding and broke two vertebrae.
At just 22, Kennison was paralyzed. Most would never dare venture anywhere near the site of something so traumatic. But as he told WMUR, Trevor Kennison thinks differently.
As documented in the new film Full Circle, Kennison made the courageous journey back to the Colorado mountain that nearly took his life. The documentary recently premiered at the Santa Barbara Film Festival in California.
Kennison managed to welcome the praise the film received in between backflips. You read right – he is now back on the slopes using a sit ski.
The film’s website boasts several powerfully positive reviews from critics.
Said Shaker Samman from Apple News:
“Trevor Kennison’s story is raw and human. It’s joyful, sure, but at times it’s painful – something this film thankfully does not shy away from. Full Circle is a story about what it means to dig deep, as an athlete, and a person.”
Sofia Jaramillo from National Geographic adds:
“Full Circle is a storytelling feat – a must-see movie that will push your understanding of what it means to be an athlete.”
The film will also screen at the Sonoma Film Festival in California, as well as the Wasatch Film Festival in Utah.
For added drama, Kennison not only returns to the scene of his accident to attempt the world’s first ever double backflip on a sit-ski.
You can view the film’s trailer below.

Cork was a brilliant conference. It was like reuniting with old friends and colleagues after a very, very long time. The last ABIL conference I had attended was in Edinburgh in 2019. I was pregnant at that time, and struggling at home with someone who didn’t want me to continue breastfeeding my daughter. It was stressful, to say the least.
I feel I’ve walked a long way to get to this place. This Cork. My state of mind matched the Irish weather, warm and light. Somehow, I wasn’t on hold. I was moving, physically at least. I was imagining my way out of the rut. Looking for Passages.
In the previous conference I had attended, in Plymouth, I had noticed an eagerness in the crowd to know more about the expression “Brown Atlantic,” so this time around I decided to start my paper with a work-in-progress definition of the term. Only then did I move on to the specific analysis and theoretical concepts I’m playing with in order to read Conceição Evaristo’s work.
I’m drawn towards theorizing. Always have been. When I encountered the writing of Evaristo, I experienced a very strong desire for new theory. This desire was, from the start, the engine behind the Women of the Brown Atlantic project. A desire for a new vocabulary, a new set of tools that would allow for a meeting with Evaristo in her own terms, rather than attempting to read her texts under the magnifying glass of existing theory. The new theory that’s required is one that is able to keep the theoriser in a place of discomfort. Theory that extends discomfort, that names it without trying to resolve it. A sort of treadmill theory that keeps one running after what can’t be reached.
I call it Rainbow Fever.
After I delivered the paper, I sat there simmering, as usual, in the paradoxical fear of having and not having any questions. I didn’t get asked any, but it wasn’t because they didn’t exist. What I experienced was a kind of delayed feedback. I received it in the form of a text message, and later, in the form of two chats, one still in the room, following the end of the panel, and the other one over coffee.
The delayed comments I had in Cork acknowledged the difficulties inherent to the task of theorising. I am grateful to the people who offered it to me. By encouraging me to carry on, to delve deeper into the unknown, to let go of the old structures that hold back new thinking and writing, they have given me real perspective on where the debate could go. By cautioning against dualist thinking, they have provided invaluable feedback without putting me on the spot in front of the whole crowd.
Sometimes, not getting questions straight away is a sign you are being seen, heard, and cared for.
So thank you so much – you know who you are xxx

Wilmington, Ohio – This week’s Wilmington Sunday Spotlight shines on Savannah Embly of Lexington, Kentucky. The 17-year-old junior rider of Embly Stables LLC has been a familiar face at World Equestrian Center – Wilmington since her days in the Roberts Arena showing ponies. The dedicated, hard-working young rider recently made her first grand prix debut during the Spring/Summer Series and caught up with us during Fall Classic 1 to tell us more about her riding journey!
WEC: How did you get started riding?
My mom is an equine veterinarian, so I have been around horses for as long as I can remember. I got my first pony when I was four and the rest has been history. I am stuck with it forever! I ride with Nicki Simpson and I ride with Donald Cheska right now. We are here at WEC this week with Donald’s brother Richard, so I met up with him to show! We have our own farm with about 11 horses right now. My mom and I do all of our own barn chores every day and we do everything at the shows from chores to braiding the hunters. It is a family affair; we are our own grooms!
WEC: How has WEC been influential in your riding career?
I actually did my first Grand Prix here this summer with my horse Diamo! I’ve actually been coming here since the beginning. I came here with my ponies when we were still in the Roberts Arena. I have really worked my way all the way from the ground up here.
I think it’s just always nice to be able to go somewhere different. We show Kentucky a lot at the Horse Park since we are so close, but it’s always nice to come up here. It’s not super far from us. It’s a little bit longer when we bring up the trailer of course, but it is really only two and a half hours with the trailer so it’s not far. I brought my equitation horse, Fine Line, here this week so that he can practice for Indoors. We wanted him to have some indoor practice and I have only had him for a month, so it has been nice to practice with him here at WEC.
WEC: How do you balance school and riding?
It is definitely tricky. I do online school. I go to Indiana University’s online high school and then I do Upper Echelon Academy when I am in Florida for the winter. There are tutors and teachers who can help me with anything I need help with so it has a format like a real school system, but it’s super flexible. I definitely would always prefer to be in the barn, but I make it work and get it all done!
WEC: What are your future riding plans with your current horses?
The plan is a little different for each horse. Diamo or Harry as we call him, will hopefully be my big horse. I’d really like to go up the levels with him. I just started with him this spring so he’s a little bit green. His first big classes were my first big classes, so we are doing it all together! It is a work in progress, but it is super fun. I always love to have a little bit of a green one and take them up the levels. He did Young Riders this summer, so hopefully we will go back and do that again next year.
I just got Catoki’s Son Z, who we call Tiki in the barn. This is actually my first show with him. He has been there done that, and he’s super experienced so it’s always nice to go in the ring on one that has seen it all before. He knows the job. He’s always prepared. He goes in the ring. He’s all business. He’s classy, and he loves it. You never have to convince him to do his job!
I hope to keep going in the equitation with Fine Line. I have some equitation finals this fall and then I’d like to do like the WEF Equitation Challenge and the Premier Cup at WEC – Ocala. Hopefully I will be able to commit to a division one NCAA school to ride! I can’t imagine not riding in school, it’s what I have been doing my whole life!

The military history of Greece during World War II began on 28 October 1940, when the Italian Army invaded from Albania, beginning the Greco-Italian War.
The Greek Army was able to halt the invasion temporarily and was able to push the Italians back into Albania.
The Greek successes forced Nazi Germany to intervene.
The Germans invaded Greece and Yugoslavia on 6 April 1941, and overran both countries within a month, despite British aid to Greece in the form of an expeditionary corps.
The conquest of Greece was completed in May with the capture of Crete from the air, although the Fallschirmjäger (German paratroopers) suffered such extensive casualties in this operation that the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (German High Command) abandoned large-scale airborne operations for the remainder of the war.
The German diversion of resources in the Balkans is also considered by some historians to have delayed the launch of the invasion of the Soviet Union by a critical month, which proved disastrous when the German Army failed to take Moscow.
Greece itself was occupied and divided between Germany, Italy, and Bulgaria, while the King and the government fled into exile in Egypt.
First attempts at armed resistance in summer 1941 were crushed by the Axis powers, but the Resistance movement began again in 1942 and grew enormously in 1943 and 1944, liberating large parts of the country’s mountainous interior and tying down considerable Axis forces.
However, political tensions between the Resistance groups resulted in the outbreak of a civil conflict among them in late 1943, which continued until the spring of 1944. The exiled Greek government also formed armed forces of its own, which served and fought alongside the British in the Middle East, North Africa, and Italy.
The contribution of the Greek Navy and merchant marine, in particular, was of special importance to the Allied cause
Mainland Greece was liberated in October 1944 with the German withdrawal in the face of the advancing Red Army, while German garrisons continued to hold out in the Aegean Islands until after the war’s end.
The country was devastated by war and occupation, and its economy and infrastructure lay in ruins.
Greece suffered more than 400,000 casualties during the occupation, and the country’s Jewish community was almost completely exterminated in the Holocaust.
By 1946, however, a civil war erupted between the foreign-sponsored conservative government and leftist guerrillas, which would last until 1949.

Chad Allan, Founding Member of the Guess Who, Hospitalized Following Stroke
Chad Allan, the founding singer and guitarist for the Guess Who, is being treated at a British Columbia hospital after suffering a stroke. His publicist told CBC News that the stroke was "pretty serious, but he is responding."
Before their string of chart-topping hits in the late '60s and early '70s, the Guess Who had undergone several name and lineup changes. Allan formed the band in 1965, after leading other groups since the late '50s. They soon scored a regional hit with "Shakin' All Over," which was originally credited to Chad Allan & the Expressions. Even though he was the Guess Who's leader at the time, Allan exited in 1966, four years before the band's commercial breakthrough.
They eventually settled on the lineup that would record the group's signature song, "American Woman." The same-titled 1970 album reached No. 9 in the U.S. and sent three consecutive singles into the Top 5: "No Time," the No. 1 "American Woman" and "No Sugar Tonight," "American Woman"'s B-side.
Allan collaborated with fellow ex-Guess Who bandmate Randy Bachman in 1971, when the two formed the short-lived country-rock group Brave Belt. Over the next year they evolved into their second and most commercial incarnation, under the name Bachman–Turner Overdrive, but Allan had left the band shortly after the release of Brave Belt's second album.
The Guess Who officially disbanded in 1975. The band reformed with a number of different past members from the late '70s until today, but Allan has been absent from all of the lineups. He continued to produce solo albums until 1992, before vocal cord damage had prevented him from singing professionally. Since then, he had taken up painting and performing instrumental music for senior citizens in Vancouver, where he's lived since 1977.
In 2015, Allan received the Order of Manitoba "for his contributions to the Canadian music industry including the pivotal role he played in the creation of two legendary Winnipeg rock bands: the Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive."

The Victorian Government will legislate to restrict the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in workplace sexual harassment cases, potentially changing the management and resolution of sexual harassment claims.
The Government states that NDAs are “often misused to silence victim survivors, protect employer reputations, avoid full liability and hide serial offending.”
The announcement is part of the Government’s response to the recommendations made by the Ministerial Taskforce on Workplace Sexual Harassment.
The Government also accepted recommendations that work-related gender violence and workplace sexual harassment should be treated as an occupational health and safety issue, and to increase the capacity of the OHS regulator, Worksafe, to take the lead role in preventing and responding to gendered violence and sexual harassment.
The Government will now consult with interested parties on the exact form of the restriction on NDAs. No start date has been set.
Employers and their insurers will need to consider the implications for the coverage of sexual harassment claims and how they are settled.
Whilst sexual harassment is unacceptable, and employers have duties to prevent and stop harassment, the restriction on the use of NDAs for workplace sexual harassment cases is likely to have implications for employer, employees, and insurers, all depending on the exact form of the restriction, including:
- With greater risk of publicity, some employers may be encouraged to take more active steps to prevent and stop sexual harassment, particularly at the early stages of a complaint
- Employees, with the risk of exposure, may be more discouraged from engaging in sexual misconduct
- Employers and insurers will need to adjust to settlements without confidentiality, and that may have implications on other settlement terms
- Some cases may be more difficult to settle, or take longer to settle, because a settlement will not include confidentiality
- As there may be cases that are not able to be settled without confidentiality, more claims may run through to verdict, increasing legal costs and the exposure of employers and insurers to legal costs.
Watch for an update on the exact form of the restriction on NDAs once it is known.

As a group that aims to realize a circular society through motorcycles and other reuse businesses, we believe that our social significance is to contribute through the effective use of environmental resources in our services. In addition, we are working to reduce direct CO2 emissions from motorcycles as well as energy use in logistic centers as a company that delves in the sales of transport equipment.
We work to reduce environmental impact by extending the lifecycle of motorcycles through purchasing motorcycles that customer no longer ride, refurbishing them for reuse, and recirculating high quality, safe and reliable vehicles to new users. We will also replace delivery trucks at logistic centers with more fuel-efficient vehicles as well as introduce LED lightings and use electronic mobility to contribute to environmental improvement.
The Group recognizes environmental issues as its material issues in management and actively engages in activities to realize a circular business under its management policy and Charter of Corporate Behavior. We provide services for various types of customers such as extending the lifecycle of motorcycles by improving our refurbishing skills, reducing waste generation through expanding motorcycle rental services, distribution of used products through online sales of vehicles and related parts, and more.
Initiatives to Reduce CO2 Emissions
To work to reduce CO2 emissions during the disposal of motorcycles by extending the lifecycle of motorcycles through offering services such as regular high-quality maintenance by mechanics and enhancing long-term insurance. We are replacing trucks we use with more fuel-efficient vehicles that comply with the Top Runner Standards as well as gradually replacing lighting at our sites to LED lighting.
- CO2 emissions per vehicle transported in 2022 compared to the previous year: 95.6%
- *CO2 emissions are calculated for the period from April 2022 to March 2023.
- *The number of transported cargo is as of March 2023.
Handling of Electric Mobility
We will contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions through popularizing electric mobility which does not use gasoline as its fuel and in turn does not emit CO2. In order to handle electric mobility and other advanced technologies, we strive to educate employees in acquiring expert knowledge and certificates required to handle such technologies.
Responding to TCFD Recommendations
For the purpose of disclosing the impact of climate change on our finances, we recognize climate change as one of the important management issues that impact our business in the mid to long term, based on four items of governance, risk management, strategy, and metrics and targets as outlined in the TCFD Recommendations, and disclose information following the framework of the TCFD while simultaneously working to improve the quality and amount of information disclosed.

The Organizational Communication unit offers comprehensive research training in qualitative research in organizational communication as one of the twelve majors of of the Aalto Doctoral Program in Business, Economics and Finance. The multidisciplinary research profile of the unit gives doctoral researchers the academic freedom to pursue interesting projects that defy disciplinary boundaries, within the broad field of organizational communication and management studies.
Research in Organizational Communication
Our research and teaching are based on an understanding of organizational communication as a multifaceted managerial and social activity that needs to be studied from a multi- or interdisciplinary perspective. Communication is used in organizations not only to convey ideas and represent objects of knowledge. It is also used strategically and performatively to construct realities and to make things happen. A better understanding of the dynamics and complexities of organizational communication thus bears relevance not only for communications and management professionals, but also policy makers and other practitioners in the broader field of organizational communication, strategic management, and business-society –relations.
Research activity in the unit of Organizational Communication focuses on diverse questions of organizational discourse and sensemaking in contemporary business and societal contexts. Theoretically, the aim is to advance knowledge particularly in the fields of business-society -relations, (discursive) institutional work, organizational legitimacy, organizational power, and strategy-as-practice.
Our central research areas include:
Gender and feminist studies
Strategy and leadership
Qualitative methods, especially discursive approaches and (n)ethnography
Our research has been published in the leading journals of our multidisciplinary field, such as Gender, Work & Organization, Human Relations, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of Management Studies, Long Range Planning, Organization, Organization Science, Organization Studies, Strategic Organization, and Work, Employment and Society.
Our faculty members serve in the editorial boards of Human Relations, Journal of Business Ethics, Organization Science, and Work, Employment and Society.
The unit hosts a Research Council of Finland funded project The Influence of Business Advocacy in Finnish Employment Relations and Governmental Policies (ADVOCACY, 2024-2028).
The unit also offers comprehensive research training in organizational communication, as a major and area of specialization in the Aalto Doctoral Program in Business, Economics and Finance. The interdisciplinary research profile of the unit gives doctoral researchers the academic freedom to pursue interesting projects that defy disciplinary boundaries, within the broad field of organizational communication and management studies.

TAMPA, Fla. — Saturday is one of the busiest travel days of the year as families head home for Christmas.
"I'm really excited because it's Christmas. It's a new experience every single time, so yeah, I'm really excited," said 13-year-old Victor Hernandez.
Hernandez and his father are traveling to Puerto Rico for Christmas, and they say it can be difficult traveling during the holidays.
"Just be prepared for anything, for any case, for any problems. Just be prepared," said Hernandez.
Adam Bouchard with the Tampa International Airport said the number of travelers coming through the airport will be similar to what we saw for Thanksgiving weekend.
"On our peak days, we expect to see close to 90,000 passengers. On an average day here, it's about 60,000 people through the airport, so we are expecting to be very busy," said Bouchard.
Guest experience employee Tihani Anderson said she's noticed this year is even busier than previous years.
"More families are definitely traveling, especially since the pandemic. Last year, not so much, but more so, it seems this year, (there are) a lot more families and younger kids. People are enjoying life and taking their kids out of school and for a longer weekend just to spend with families," said Anderson.
The next couple of weekends are also predicted to be busy at TPA.
Airport leaders recommend people arrive at least two hours early for their flights and book their parking spots in advance on the Tampa International Airport website.
"We've got over 20,000 parking spaces here, and we filled up pretty much every one of them during Thanksgiving. Can't put a single finger on what's causing that," said Bouchard.
Bouchard said this weekend and the days before New Year's Day will be the busiest.
"The airlines and FAA and other federal partners have done a great job and staffed up with qualified folks whether it's in the cockpit or on the aircraft or in the air traffic control facilities," said Bouchard.
Hernandez said although traveling might be overwhelming, people should try to be kind.
"It's that time of the year. It's Christmas, so be patient, and everybody enjoy the family and have fun," said Hernandez.
"Pack on your patience for yourself and your fellow travelers. Everyone is trying to get to where they need to get to safely," said Anderson.
Before you head to the airport, officials say you should double check your flight status and make sure nothing has been delayed or canceled.

Sometimes our responses to particular situations or people can cause us to feel angry, frustrated or impatient. Everyone feels anger at some point in their lives and at times it can be a healthy response to an unreasonable situation, but when anger starts to cause problems with relationships or in work, or perhaps in other areas of your life, it becomes a problem.
Anger is controlled well with hypnotherapy. I have a range of interventions and hypnotic techniques that can help you beat your anger, regain control and establish and maintain healthy personal and professional relationships.
The number of sessions will depend on the severity and frequency of the anger symptoms. Two sessions are often enough to regain control. Hypnotherapy can stop anger in its tracks and cause you to respond to previous anger triggers in a more positve way.

Tractor-Combine Sales Higher and Bonnie Approved as USDA Undersecretary
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update.**A hot, dry year has impacted California’s citrus production.
Growers say early navel varieties generally are running smaller this year, putting a premium on larger offerings.
Meanwhile, a survey of state citrus growers says the costs of bringing citrus to market has jumped 19% since early 2020.
Factors include ballooning costs of surface water and increased expenses for fuel and fertilizer.
**Overall unit sales of both ag tractors and combines continued their growth above an already-rapid pace.
Data from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers says U.S. total farm tractor sales climbed 4.8% in October compared to last year.
Self-propelled combine sales climbed 73%, the fourth month in a row of growth near or above 20% cent for harvesters.
The under-40 horsepower segment stayed positive, growing 4.5%, while the mid-size 41-100 horsepower was up 4.1%.
Heavy-duty, over 100 horse units saw another strong month, up 10.3%.
**The Senate Ag Committee approved the nomination of Robert Bonnie as the USDA Undersecretary for Farm Production and Conservation.
The position is one of the most important at USDA as the undersecretary oversees the agency’s farm subsidy and land stewardship programs, which cost over $10 billion a year.
The departmental scope covers public nutrition, international trade, ag research, meat safety, and rural economic development.
