Overpressure and Vacuum Applications
We have the optimum vacuum for your application.
Applications of vacuum technology
Learn more about vacuum applications
What is vacuum needed for?
The short answer is, many things. Vacuum pump solutions save energy, money and time. They also improve product quality, extend shelf life, make processes safer, speedier and smoother, cut pollution, and even help save lives.
The range of vacuum technology is quite breath-taking. It plays a role in the production of food, medicines, explosives, wind turbines, district heating, stainless steel, and much more. It also contributes to game-changing high vacuum research in physics and chemistry.
However, the fundamental role of a vacuum system, its science, still remains the same: reduce the number of gas particles in a system which, at constant temperature, corresponds to a reduction in gas pressure.
And this is a process that continues to affect our lives every single day.
What are the most prominent vacuum applications?
While it is impossible to list all areas where vacuum technology is employed, here is a brief overview of common industrial vacuum applications.
In packaging processes, vacuum solutions are used, for example, in vacuum packaging or modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), tray forming in packaging machines, thermoforming of plastic packaging, foil handling in tubular bag packaging machines, carton erection, labeling and many more.
The use of vacuum in forming, pressing and laminating applications enables mold evacuation, thermoforming and vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VRTM). Moreover, vacuum is indispensable for the production of flat panel displays and solar panels.
Many “thin-film” technologies have been made possible through advances in vacuum coating processes, such as physical and chemical vapor deposition, metallization and many more.
Vacuum distillation is used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, for solvent recovery, as well as in crude oil distillation processes.
Vacuum degassing and deaeration processes play a role in the production of foodstuffs, high-quality alloy and oil, as well as in plastics extrusion.
In pneumatic conveying processes, vacuum and low pressure solutions can, for instance, be found in applications such as the pneumatic conveying of bulk goods like granulates, grains, powders or dusts.

To improve the condition of workers, the government is now planning to bring Living Wage in place of Minimum Wage. The government may make changes in this soon. The government is considering technical assistance from the International Labor Organization for the Living Wage. Living wage is also the basic salary of the employee which will be given to him to meet his basic needs.
At present, the workers get minimum wage i.e. minimum salary by the government. However, many companies take several measures to avoid minimum salary. In such a situation, the government is going to take important steps to improve the minimum wage law.
To help the employees, the government is soon thinking of introducing Living Wage system in place of minimum wage . According to the report, the government is taking assistance from the International Labor Organization (ILO) for living wage.
Living Wage System may be implemented in India by next year i.e. 2025.
About 90 percent of the workers in India work in the unorganized sector. Many of these employees do not get minimum wage. In such a situation, living wage system is being introduced to ensure that everyone gets minimum salary.
Let us know what is Living Wage and how different is it from Minimum Wage System?
What is minimum wage system
At present minimum wage system is in force. In this, hourly salary is calculated. If we understand it in simple words then the focus is on food, clothing and shelter. The minimum wage is different in all states of India. Let us tell you that in Maharashtra this employee gets Rs 62.87 per hour and in Bihar it is Rs 49.37.
Whereas in America, an employee gets $7.25 per hour i.e. about Rs 605.26.
Many employees of the unorganized sector in the country do not even get the minimum wage. No strict action is taken by the government on these sectors.
What is living wage system
The Living Wage System goes beyond bread-cloth-house. The living wage exceeds the basic needs of the government employee. The Living Wage system also takes care of the means of social security for the employee and his family. This means that in the living wage system, more than the basic needs of the employee like health, education etc. are also taken care of.

The recent ruling from the UK Supreme Court, that found largely in favour of insurance policyholders in the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA’s) business interruption insurance test case appeals, is not expected to drive significant additional losses through to reinsurance. Fitch Ratings has said.
While some reinsurance panels will definitely be affected, the overall impact is not expected to be a significant hit to any particular company, with reinsurance programmes well-diversified across traditional and also alternative capital.
Fitch focuses its comments on the European big four reinsurance firms, saying that the resulting extra claims costs from the business interruption ruling should not translate into reinsurance claims large enough to materially affect the credit quality of major players Hannover Re, Munich Re, SCOR or Swiss Re.
Which likely reads across to most of the reinsurance and also ILS market, as any additional claims costs are likely to be well-spread across the marketplace, as is the design of syndicated reinsurance programs.
For the big four European reinsurers, their largely IBNR reserves already set may be sufficient to account for any additional claims burden, Fitch believes.
However, there is still uncertainty and also the potential for disputes, it seems.
Fitch says, “A key uncertainty is the extent to which cedants will be able to aggregate multiple BI claims into single large claims to trigger excess-of-loss reinsurance payouts on the basis that the individual claims were all caused by the same event – the pandemic. We expect reinsurers to contest this, arguing that claims were caused by separate events, with different businesses interrupted by different sets of restrictions. The outcome will depend on the wording of each reinsurance treaty and in some cases may involve litigation.”
This has the potential to drive additional reinsurance losses in some cases, perhaps hitting some ILS funds or structures as well.
In addition, the quota share specialists must be considered, as they will be taking shares of losses anyway and some do also allocate capital to excess of loss as well, which has the potential to see some doubling up if aggregation becomes a serious concern.
“However, even with widespread aggregation, we do not expect that the resulting excess-of-loss payouts would materially weaken the four major European reinsurers’ earnings or capital,” Fitch notes.
Fitch also highlights that the implications from business interruption are lower in Europe in its view, as coverage is generally smaller.
However, there are already cases of European business interruption claims driving recoveries on catastrophe reinsurance programs, something that may continue over the coming months as exposure runs off and greater visibility of aggregate claims emerges.

Twenty one years after hosting the last African Insurance Organisation AIO, the Nigerian insurance industry is setting the hosting stand with the hefty sponsorship of local and global underwriters for the 47th edition of the AIO confab taking place in Lagos from September 4 – 8, 2021, at Eko Hotels & Suites Victoria Island, Lagos. The theme of the confab is “Rebuilding Africa’s Economy: An Insurance Perspective.”
The immediate past chairman, Nigerian Insurers Association and group managing director at NEM Insurance Plc, Mr. Tope Smart, will assume office as the next president of the pan African organisation and for this honour, the LOC says “he deserves support and good wishes.” The conference dates has several times succumbed to the persisting Covid 19 pandemic by postponements, however the die is cast now and the local insurance industry has the honour of hosting this 47th edition of the conference.
In a virtual media briefing the chairman, Local Organising Committee, Mrs. Ebelechukwu Nwachukwu, said, “We need to emphasise that in planning this conference at this time we have taken full cognisance of all the protocols and restrictions on public gathering, hence the decision to make it a hybrid event.”
With the level of preparations set rolling, Nwachukwu was confident to say, “I want to assure you that we are prepared to host the best and most memorable conference.” According to her 600 physical attendees are expected from all over Africa and beyond the continent and plans have been made to create a window for those who will attend as the confab goes underway.”
Speaking on the build up so far, Nwachukwu the managing director at NSIA Insurance, said the Commissioner for Insurance, Mr. Olorundare Sunday Thomas, “has been working assiduously and liaising with the various ministries and agencies to ensure that we get the full support from the government.”
Also on the thumb up is the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning who the LOC chairman said “has been very supportive of our efforts, and we owe a lot of appreciation for the letter of comfort which was the first requirement from AIO as proof that we have the support of the government to host the conference.”
With the effects of the pandemic wired without exception across the globe, Nwachukwu said this informed the LOC decision to use the event to deploy how insurance can contribute to ongoing efforts at rebuilding economies seriously impacted by the pandemic.
Besides the theme, there are four subtopics to address other contemporary issues and they are listed: The new normal: How leaders can reset for growth beyond Covid 19; Regulation, innovation and the future of insurance; Harnessing the potential for growth and development in the Nigerian insurance market, and, AfCTA and the African Insurer: Prospects and opportunities.
The LOC has already assembled resource persons and these include Mr Jackie Cilliers of Institute of Security Studies, South Africa; Mr Belhassan Tanat, Munich Re; Mr. Yinka Sanni of Standard Bank Group and, Mr. Tawiah Ben-Ahmed, Metropolitan Life Insurance, Ghana.
In the past 31 years, Nigeria has has hosted the AIO event three times, counting from the base year of 1990 in Abuja, followed ten years after in 2000, also in Abuja and coming to Lagos after several pandemic induced postponements.
Nwachukwu did not leave out the commitment of member companies of the arms of the insurance market, the lavish support of the regulatory agencies to make the Nigeria market gravitate towards a successful event. The AIO she commented, has been streaming support, the global market she reiterated, has been very impressive and the local insurance market is set for a record successful event.

Concentric Circles is a differentiation technique which moves students up and down the ladder of abstraction, applying a single idea in multiple contexts.
In this example, my students are applying the big idea “🏛️ Problems lead to new rules. Those rules lead to new problems.” (yes, it’s a favorite of mine) to three contexts of increasing “size”: home, school, and our city.
You could add to or change those around, of course. How does the big idea apply to a country? To an apartment complex? To Disneyland? The key is how students are thinking! They’re working with one idea across various contexts.
The big problem? My students hated writing in those circles and I hated reading their writing in those circles. Solution? We’d drop the circle organizer just write boring old square paragraphs in a list!

placement? worth college for study?
When considering placement opportunities and the overall worth of a college for your studies, it's important to evaluate several factors. A college's reputation, the strength of its industry connections, internship opportunities, and the success rate of its graduates in securing jobs are all crucial elements to consider.
Many colleges invest in placement cells to help students find suitable job opportunities and prepare them for the competitive job market. It's beneficial to look at alumni success stories and company recruitment trends associated with the college you are considering.
I recommend visiting our website for more insights and resources that can guide your decision. If you need suggestions for specific colleges or courses, feel free to ask!
I failed in 12th maths but passed in other subjects so thus Ive passed my 12th exam. Now can I get admission to BCA and get an on-campus job ? If not , I got the chance to admit in a good Polytechnic College in CSE and later on Ill also have a plan to do Btech. Which option is better for a job ?
You may get admission in BCA, but it is better to repeat theory paper. It will be helpful for your future because in BCA course include mathematic in its 2 semester which is of 12th level for 1st and 2nd years in the first semester the level is basic then the level rise as per the syllabus and as the next semester begins.so you need to keep practicing maths along with BCA to get any job.
You can also do polytechnic if you Pass your 10th board exam with a minimum of 50% marks in Mathematics, Science, and English.
will i get a job placement from NLUs if i scored 75% in 10th boards and 98% in 12th boards? will my 10th result destroy my chances of getting a good placement?
Your chances of securing job placements from NLUs depend on various factors beyond just your 10th board results. While academic performance is important, NLUs also consider other criteria such as your performance in the CLAT or other entrance exams, extracurricular activities, internships, and overall personality during the recruitment process.
Having a strong performance in your 12th board exams shows your academic capabilities and can significantly enhance your chances of getting a good placement. However, some employers may take into account your 10th board results as part of their evaluation process.
While a lower score in your 10th boards may not necessarily disqualify you from job placements, it's essential to highlight your strengths and achievements in your application and during interviews. Focus on improving your skills, experiences to increase your chances of securing a good placement.
Hope this helps,

Online Slot Machines - Types of Slot Machines
Online slot machines are better and more convenient than land based slot machines.
Online Slots are Better
Online slot machines are found in most online casinos. Online slot machines are similar to land based slot machines. One of the major advantages of playing online slots is that you can play it in the comfort of your own home, at your own computer, and wear whatever you wish. You can chat with and “meet” new people online, or you can be as solitary as you like. Either way, you don’t have to get dressed up to go out. You can choose any number of online casinos to play in, and as many types of games as you feel like playing in one evening, without having to move out of your chair. Land based casinos use bright lighting and various other tricks to keep people playing longer. There is no pressure from online casinos to keep you playing the whole night.
There are a number of other reasons why online slot machines are better than land based slot machines. Some of them will be outlined below.
A Wide Variety of Themes
Online slot machines come in a wide variety of themes. You will find online slot machines with symbols ranging from the original symbols used in land based casino slot machines to just about any new and exciting themes you can think of. The original symbols for slot machines included cherries and other fruit, the number 7, the classic “BAR” symbol, poker card symbols and others. In online slot machine themes, the choices are great, and include a lot of fun themes, for example, burgers and their toppings, boat themes – which could include symbols such as anchors and life belts, and even gold mine themes. The choice is yours – you can play any theme you choose from the classic symbols to the most recent modern symbols. The list is almost endless.
Benefits of Online Slot Machines vs Land Based Slot Machines
One of the great benefits of online slot machines is that you can find a wide range of coin values that can be played. Online slots can be played for as little as one cent per spin up to much higher coin values, including multiple paylines and some games will also allow bets with more than one coin per payline.
Slot games are generally considered to be solitary games - the player and the slot machine. In online slot machine games, you can join a tournament and play with other players. Some tournaments may run for a few minutes, but others can run for as long as a month.
There is a lot of competition between online casinos. When you go to a land based casino, unless you are in Las Vegas, you will not have many choices of where to play slots. Online casinos work hard to make their games exciting and fun because they know that in a very short time, and with very little effort, you can start playing in a different casino if you are unhappy with their game.

The Dow ticked higher on Thursday in response to positive news on the Brexit front, while elsewhere, China unveiled a roadmap to the “ultimate” trade deal that Wall Street desires.
Wall Street’s three major indices opened to moderate gains, offsetting the minor losses incurred during the previous session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 89.7 points or 0.33% to 27,091.68.
The S&P 500 advanced 14.69 points or 0.49% to 3,004.38. Ten of 11 primary sectors reported gains, led by communication services (+0.66%).
The Nasdaq raced 53.41 points or 0.66% higher to 8,177.59. Netflix headlined the index with a 7.21% surge.
Stocks rose after the European Union and the United Kingdom agreed on a draft Brexit deal, though gains were muted because there are serious doubts it will clear the British Parliament. The opposition Labour party torched it as “even worse” than Theresa May’s failed Brexit bid , and the government will likely struggle to secure votes from skeptical allies.
Meanwhile, Beijing offered investors a glimpse of its “ultimate goal” in the ongoing US-China trade war.
In a public statement from spokesman Gao Feng, China’s Ministry of Commerce laid its cards on the table, stating outright that it expects a final trade deal to include the complete elimination of all tariffs imposed during the trade war, which began in July 2018.
“The ultimate goal for the negotiations between the two sides is to end the trade war, cancel all additional tariffs. This is good for China, good for the US and good for the whole world,” Gao said.
Even so, Gao confirmed that Beijing is open to achieving that mission in stages, beginning with the “phase one” trade deal that Chinese and American officials outlined last week in Washington. If all goes according to plan, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping should sign the final version of that partial deal in mid-November.
However, far from rolling back tariffs, the White House currently plans to impose new tariffs on more than $150 billion worth of Chinese goods on Dec. 15. There’s also the looming threat of tariff increases previously scheduled to take effect on Oct. 15. The US delayed those tariffs after last week’s negotiations, but the Trump administration could reintroduce them if progress stalls on the partial deal.

They stimulate competition.
They are rare items.
They remind people of some of their cherished memories.
But it’s more than that…
The real reason why people get excited about autographed auction items is because they tangibly represent something they love.
Maybe the songwriter was right when he said “All you need is love.”
Love brings us to the first reason why Autographed Guitars succeed: Guitars are loved by those who love music. And let’s face it, a lot of people love music.
Music expresses emotions, it brings people together, and it unifies. The love for the music is a large common denominator.
For musicians, the instrument becomes a part of them. It feels second nature to pick up and play the guitar.
Jimi Hendrix said, “I love my guitar.”
Now, he also his Stratocaster on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival.
Proclaiming that this was an act of love Jimi stated, “You sacrifice the things you love.”
While all auction items are tangible representations of something your guests love, guitars are special. They are extensions of the artist your guests adore. A serious Rock and Roll (or really any kind of music) enthusiast knows that autographed guitars are sacred.
This is why autographed guitars raise the bids. There is always a very high demand for autographed guitars from our fundraising partners.
But the second reason why Autographed Guitars succeed at auction fundraisers is due to how the item is interactive memorabilia.
While autographed and framed posters and album covers do very well, the autographed guitar offers something special: they can be handled and used. It’s a tangible item. We often see the live auctioneer actually strum a few tunes on the guitar while the auction is taking place – this interactive action helps to excite the crowd and increased the bidding.
The tangible nature of the autographed guitar brings with it an experience as well as cherished memories and fondness for the musician and his or her songs.
What are you waiting for?
Check out our available authentic autographed guitars from top performers in all music genres. We have everything from The Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift to Jimmy Buffett, U2 to Black Sabbath and many more.
Contact Charity Fundraising today to reserve your autographed guitars for your next live charity auction at zero risk to your nonprofit! We send you the auction item for free, and if it doesn’t sell, we take it back and pay for shipping! What do you have to lose? Try it out for your next auction fundraiser!

New head coach Matt Eberflus and the Chicago Bears were blessed with a favorable 2022 schedule in terms of opponents win percentage from a year ago. But the season’s slate will be grinding.
The Bears will have to wait a while during the 2021 regular season before they get a break. Week 14, in December, is the Bears’ scheduled bye week.
Matt Eberflus is not worried about the late bye week
Eberflus, on his 52nd birthday, gave a strong response to the media when asked about the team’s late bye week.
“I could care less,” Eberflus said on Tuesday. “It does not matter. It is what it is and we got to play the schedule.”
As a football coach, Eberflus said he and the staff are looking at the schedule and coming up with a plan to find creative ways to get players breaks during the season.
“It’s very important because you want to get your guys fresh into the game, so you’re certainly looking at that,” he said.
Bears have a grueling schedule
The first “break” the Bears will have from September 11, the start of the regular season, and week 14, December 11, will be after the Bears’ Thursday Night Football game against the Washington Commanders on October 13. Bears players will have a week and a half before playing the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football, October 24.
The Bears will have to push through from then until the Bye week following the December 4th contest against the divisional rival Green Bay Packers. The Bears will have to play through injury issues early in the season. This could be a problem with the lack of depth projected at many positions. Young rosters like the Bears would benefit from an earlier bye as they could adjust and rework their scheme. But that’s something more difficult to do on the fly with a couple of practice days before their next game.
Eberflus seemed confident the Bears would be able to brace this as they would any other scheduling issue. The NFL hands teams varying degrees of difficulty including back-to-back road games or periods with fewer home games. By September, the Bears staff should have a solid plan in place to keep players properly rested for games.

Hairstyles have always been a fascinating canvas for self-expression and creativity.
Among the myriad of options available, twist braiding hairstyles stand out as a timeless and versatile choice for those seeking an elegant and distinctive look.
Whether you’re attending a formal event or simply spicing up your everyday style, twist braiding hairstyles offer an array of options that suit various hair types and lengths.
Table of Contents
The Art of Twist Braiding Hairstyles
Twist braids, also known as rope braids, are a classic and adaptable hairstyle that involves intertwining two sections of hair to form a sleek and elegant twisted braid.
What makes them particularly alluring is their flexibility.
From chunky rope braids to intricate and detailed designs, the possibilities are virtually endless.
One of the most popular variations is the Senegalese twist, a distinctive style known for its smaller, more tightly twisted braids that can be installed with either natural hair or hair extensions.
The Havana twists, similar in appearance to the Senegalese twist but larger in size, offer a chic and bold look. These styles not only look fabulous but also provide protection for your natural hair, making them a great choice for maintaining hair health.
Versatility and Elegance
One of the key attractions of twist braiding is its versatility. These braids can be styled in various ways, allowing for diverse looks suitable for any occasion.
For a formal event, a sleek updo incorporating twist braids can exude sophistication and class.
For a more casual day-to-day appearance, letting the twists hang loose or styling them into a half-up, half-down look adds an element of relaxed chic to your ensemble.
These hairstyles also offer a practical benefit by being low-maintenance.
Once installed, twist braids can last for weeks or months, requiring minimal daily styling and upkeep.
This not only saves time but also protects your natural hair from constant manipulation and heat styling.
Product Recommendations for Perfect Twist Braids
Achieving flawless twist braids not only requires skill but also the right products. Here are a few suggestions to help you maintain and style your twist braids with ease:
1. Hair Oil or Moisturizer
To keep your twists nourished and hydrated, consider using a lightweight hair oil or moisturizer to prevent dryness and maintain the health of your scalp and natural hair.
2. Edge Control or Gel
Smooth down any flyaways and ensure a clean, polished look by using edge control or gel around your edges. This helps maintain a sleek finish.
3. Silk or Satin Scarf/Bonnet
Protect your twist braids while you sleep by wrapping them with a silk or satin scarf or bonnet. This helps reduce friction and prevents frizz or damage.
4. Dry Shampoo or Refreshing Spray
Keep your scalp feeling fresh and clean between washes by using a dry shampoo or refreshing spray designed specifically for braided hairstyles.
Embracing Individuality with Twist Braids
What’s particularly captivating about twist braids is the canvas they provide for self-expression.
These hairstyles can be customized in various ways, allowing individuals to express their unique personalities through their hair.
Whether it’s adding colorful extensions, incorporating beads or accessories, or experimenting with different braid sizes and patterns, twist braids offer a space for creativity and individuality.
Furthermore, twist braids are not limited by age or hair type. They are a fantastic choice for children, adults, those with curly or straight hair, and everyone in between. They serve as a unifying style that celebrates diversity and beauty in all its forms.

At 'Illness to Wellness' awareness session, experts warn undetected thyroid diseases can lead to major health complications
The ASSOCHAM CSR Council, under the Illness to Wellness initiative, hosted a panel discussion on the eve of World Thyroid Day titled ‘Thyroid Matters: In Health & Disease’ with the primary goal of increasing awareness about thyroid diseases and the need to encourage early treatment of thyroid dysfunctions.
New Delhi, May 24 (IANS) The ASSOCHAM CSR Council, under the Illness to Wellness initiative, hosted a panel discussion on the eve of World Thyroid Day titled ‘Thyroid Matters: In Health & Disease’ with the primary goal of increasing awareness about thyroid diseases and the need to encourage early treatment of thyroid dysfunctions.
The panel comprised Dr. (Prof.) Chandrakant Sambhaji Pandav, Member, National Council on POSHAN Abhiyan and Former Head, Centre for Community Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi; Dr. Subhash K Wangnoo, Senior Consultant - Endocrinologist & Diabetologist, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi; and Dr. Mudit Sabharwal, Consultant Diabetes & Endocrinology, Fortis La Femme Multi Specialty Hospital and Director and Consultant, Diabetologist, Dharma Diabetes and Metabolic Clinics, Delhi & NCR.
The session was moderated by Dr. Rajesh Kesari, Founder and Director, Total Care Control, Delhi-NCR, and EC Member, RSSDI.
Dr. Pandav explained the importance of awareness in tackling the rise in thyroid diseases. He also mentioned that adequately iodised salt is needed to stave off thyroid diseases.
“Without awareness, you cannot move forward. Awareness is necessary to ensure early detection of thyroid diseases and can prevent major ailments. Historically, iodine deficiency has been a major cause of thyroid disorders. Although iodization programmes have reduced goiter prevalence, iodine deficiency still exists in some regions,” he said.
Anil Rajput, Chairperson, ASSOCHAM National CSR Council, said: “The increase in the prevalence of thyroid-related health issues warrants heightened awareness and pro-active measures to be put in place with a greater sense of urgency to effectively address this challenge of significant proportions.
"Thyroid ailments affect both men and women with the latter reporting a higher incidence necessitating the need for gender-sensitive approaches to be looked at in greater detail. On World Thyroid Day, it is important to galvanise public awareness about thyroid disorders across all age groups and I am confident that together we can empower individuals, families, and communities to effectively address thyroid ailments and move towards a healthier and more resilient nation.”
Talking about the symptoms, Dr. Sabharwal said there are two types of thyroid disorders -- Hypothyroidism (symptoms include- fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, cold intolerance) and Hyperthyroidism (symptoms include weight loss, heat intolerance, increased appetite)
“A simple exercise like Surya Namaskar can help control/prevent hyperthyroidism. After Covid-19, we have seen a rise in cases of hyperthyroidism. We must remember that cholesterol and diabetes are also linked to thyroid, therefore, people should ensure a healthy lifestyle to prevent health issues like thyroid ailments,” he said.
Dr. Wangnoo said unexpected weakness, postpartum depression in women, and lethargy are signs of thyroid dysfunction to watch out for.
“Thyroid does a lot of work to help metabolise and maintain blood pressure, body temperature and heart rate. Pregnant women also need to be very careful. Postpartum depression is something that women are vulnerable to due to thyroid issues. The intelligence quotient in babies may be affected if there is late detection,” he said.

A pain management doctor in New Bern has pleaded guilty to money laundering and fraud in federal court.
The Sun Journal of New Bern reported that Dr. Michael K. Nunn entered the plea Monday before U.S. District Judge Terrence W. Boyle.
The judge fined Nunn’s Community Wellness Center in New Bern $700,000 and ordered Nunn to pay nearly $300,000 in restitution. The pain management business also had operations in Winterville and Morehead City.
Nunn also has been placed on probation for four years.
He said he felt forced into the plea agreement and said the allegations are untrue.
Prosecutors say Nunn’s business defrauded the Department of Health and Human Services and the Veteran’s Administration in 2003 and 2004.

I don't know if it's just me or because I have ME; but I never feel like I have enough time. It's like I'm in a constant race to get all I want done . It's exhausting, especially when I realised that the race is just with myself. Do you ever feel like that? I realised that there's no one else putting this pressure on me. Just me. Seems kind of stupid when I made the connection; but it was a bit of a shock. I've been telling myself for a long time that I don't have enough time to do everything and I was both right and wrong about that. I can't do EVERYTHING but then nobody can, whether they are ill, well or somewhere in between. Also time is not my problem - time I have a lot of, in fact time is the one thing I have an abundance of. Energy is my issue. I don't have the energy to do all I want, I have to pace, rest and sleep, which seems like wasted time; but in truth it's what I need to do what I do and keep functioning. It means I can run Live in Love in Laugh in and organise all thefun parties and events. It means that I have the energy to put together our Ocean Adventure in August, (more details to come; but a sneak peak - we are going to be swimming with dolphins, going in a helicopter and enjoying a Hawaiian Luau). I'm just greedy and want to do even more! I'm not sure I could ever have enough energy and if I did then I'd be complaining about not having enough time. Yes I know, some people are never happy! Do you know the feeling? Today I realised that I have to slow down and accept that everything takes its time, that the pressure I put myself under to get where I want to go is a) making me tireder and therefore slowing me down and b) not allowing me to enjoy the process. I have plenty of time to achieve my dreams and to get the word out about Live in Love in Laugh in and it's high time I started being kinder to myself. How about you? Are there areas in your life where you could be kinder, gentler with yourself? Are there things you could relax more about and trust that they will get done; you don't have to be your own task master? Leave me a comment and let me know how you're going to make the most of your abundance of time.

This customer just purchased the home, which came with a rental water treatment unit that the previous homeowners had. She decided that she wanted to purchase her own equipment from us as her parents had equipment installed from us, as well as a Reverse Osmosis Drinking System.
After calling the Clean Water Center, a Project Coordinator went out to her home to assess the water treatment currently in the home, test the water and talk about options. They found that the kitchen cold line was not on a softened line, as she was finding a lot of calcium build up at the kitchen sink. After discussing options, the customer decided to have us install a new EVR-1044 water softener, as it would help her save money on city water with the WET technology, a ClearFlo Reverse Osmosis, and convert the kitchen cold line to a softened line, so she would no longer find hard water build up in the kitchen sink.
A recent homeowner was experiencing an unpleasant sulfur odor in their water supply. Despite having an older water softener, they discovered that it was unable to eliminate the sulfur smell. Our project coordinator conducted a thorough water test and determined that an additional sulfur filter was required. The sulfur filter, equipped with an air chamber, effectively oxidizes the sulfur, neutralizing the odor. By installing both a new water softener to address the hardness and a sulfur filter to remove the odor, the homeowner now enjoys fresh, clean, and odor-free water in their new home.
Upon transitioning from city water to a well, this homeowner immediately noticed a significant difference in water quality. Their well water contained high levels of iron which made bathing uncomfortable and created an unpleasant metallic taste and odor when drinking. Initially, the homeowner had a whole-home water filtration system installed which is designed primarily for city water to address chlorine taste and odors. While this system has some capacity to remove small amounts of iron and hardness, it was insufficient to fully eliminate its effects.
To resolve the issue, the homeowner replaced the existing filtration system with a professional-grade water softener and iron filter. This upgrade provided the homeowner with clean water, eliminating the unpleasant odor and taste. Additionally, the water became soft, offering a significant improvement in both water quality and overall satisfaction.
This customer called the Clean Water Center with concerns of hard water scale build up, and orange discoloration on their toilets and sinks. A Project Coordinator went out to assess the customer's water conditions. They were on city water and had an old softener that wasn't even working anymore. The Project Coordinator tested the water and found 16gpg of hardness and .5 ppm of iron which was causing their issues. After speaking with the customer and letting them know that a water softener would fix their water concerns, the customer decided to rent an EVRS-1044 water softener from us.
This customer called into the Clean Water Center with high iron concerns due to discolored, and smelly water. A Project Coordinator went out to his home to assess the water and plumbing. They tested the water and found the water to be very hard at 36 gpg, high iron at 5 ppm, and a strong smell of sulfur from the pressure tank. The customer had an old softener and some in-line filters installed that was there before he purchased the house. He was not very good at remembering to change the in-line filters, and found it to be a pain when he had to.
After discussing options, the homeowner decided to go with a new EVR-1054 water softener, and an EVFE-1252 Iron Filter to take care of the iron and the sulfur.
After the install the customer is happy, the water is clean and clear and does not smell like rotten eggs anymore.

I am not sure what it is, but something about Tin House books grabs my attention; they seem to stand out from many of the other books that come my way. I enjoyed Salvation by Lucia Nevai and Girl Factory by Jim Krusoe So when I heard about The Dart League King, I figured it was worth my time to check it out.
I was right. It turned out to be a compelling read. Allow the folks at PW to summarize the plot:
Morris (The Greyhound God) follows five characters through a handful of hours culminating in a dart contest on a Thursday night in Garnet Lake, Idaho: Russell Harmon, who lives for the dart league and his cocaine habit; teammate Tristan Mackey, who is haunted by having not prevented the drowning of a classmate; Kelly Ashton, who wants desperately for someone to rescue her and her young daughter from this small town; Russell’s darts rival Brice Habersham, a DEA agent posing as the owner of a gas station; and drug dealer Vince Thompson, who, tonight, is carrying a 9mm Beretta to his meeting with Russell.
Alternating chapters are written from the perspective of each of these characters and as the night progresses they each fill in the backstories that brought them to this point.
As Maud Newton pointed out, there is a fear that such a novel “written in close third person, with alternating chapters from alternating perspectives” might produce “utterly plotless stories that drift from one unsympathetic character to another and culminate in wishy-washy epiphanies.” But Morris avoids this pitfall and actually produces a story with both compelling characters and a suspenseful plot.
For more of my thoughts on this, see below.
The underlying concept is rather familiar: the feeling of being trapped and unable to break free of the choices and patterns that have made up your environment your whole life. But Morris avoids cliche and caricature and his characters have depth and unique voices within the story.
Each of the characters have some rather obvious flaws, but they are also sympathetic – with the possible exception of Tristan Mackey – because they are so human. Even if our circumstances are different we can all relate to and understand how out – often well intentioned – choices lead to a path of disappoint and regret. We also understand the kind of lies we all tell ourselves to rationalize our faults or poor choices.
Morris skillfully builds the story through these alternating chapters. Each character helps fill out the picture of not only how each of them got to the bar that night but the emotional baggage they bring to the intertwined relationships. The characters seem like a person you might actually meet; as if you could go to Idaho and actually meet them and recognize them from the story.
Morris also ratchets up the tension by introducing both emotional and physical danger. Each character faces choices about how they are going to live their life going forward; if they are finally going to come to grips with the past and make better choices. But outside events also threaten to intervene with tragic results no matter their best intentions. As the characters face their internal demons they also face dangers in real life; sometimes without their knowing it.
Once Morris sets the scene and introduces the characters, the tension – with an impending sense of doom – really grows. Instead of interrupting the plot and slowing down the story, the alternating perspectives increase the suspense as each story thread comes together and builds toward a climax. By the last third you are feverishly reading to find out what is going to happen.
The chapters tend to leave you hanging and rather than providing a nice stopping spot that would tempt you to put the book down they instead act like a sling shot that has you diving into the next chapter to find out what is going to happen.
As noted above Tristan Mackey is something of a unique character and his story (and perspective) drive much of the tension and adds an element of both mystery and creepiness. He is a deeply unsettling character.
If there was a frustration, however, it is how the story ends. I am not sure I could come up with a more satisfying, and equally plausible, ending but I wish it didn’t end with so much seemingly unsettled. Morris skillfully builds the tension and brings us to the point of no return and then leaves us guessing; or at least leaves certain actions off page. I understand why Morris did what he did, but it also left me a little frustrated at the end.
This is a minor quibble, however, as The Dart League King is an intelligent and compelling novel about how our past choices come to impact our life; and how our self-perception and self-deception colors our awareness of these choices.

Naomi Shiner is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Derby, teaching both undergraduate and post graduate courses.
She has had had a varied career since qualifying as a Radiographer in 2000. Naomi spent eight years working in a busy teaching hospital, the Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham, progressing to become a Senior Radiographer.
She decided to extend her radiography skills from acquiring images to interpreting them. Gaining a post graduate qualification, Naomi moved into advanced practice and became a Reporting Radiographer in 2003.
She says she loved the challenge of working with radiologists and making a real difference to the service. It was at this point through helping junior doctors and other healthcare professionals to improve their radiographic interpretation skills that she realised that she wanted to teach.
Naomi can now pass on her knowledge to other radiographers studying postgraduate programmes.
Radiography allows you to move around the country and world with ease, so in 2008 Naomi moved to Scotland to work in computerised tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and she became the first autonomous reporting radiographer in the Highlands. Whilst developing and supporting this service, Naomi moved into the superintendent role of the conventional imaging department in 2010.
In 2013 it was time to take the plunge into academia. Naomi moved to Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and she says it was ‘like a duck to water’.
She completed another post graduate course in higher education and became a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Naomi loves the time spent with students. She says, “The career allows you to be innovative and inspirational. Using off-the-wall techniques, I love it when you see the students have ‘light bulb’ moments.”
Not all Naomi’s time is spent directly with students. There are networking opportunities, visiting placement sites, conferences and working across professions. This enables her to develop further and focus research to what interests her most.
There is a pastoral role within academia and, Naomi says, “You can make real bonds with your students. Watching them graduate is so rewarding and can bring a tear to the eye!”

Any system offering the user the choice of two operation systems (OSes) under which to start a computer. A dual boot system allows the user to run programs for both operating systems on a single computer (though not simultaneously). The term "multiple boot" or "multiboot" extends the idea to more than two OSes.
The OSes are generally unaware of each other's existence. They are installed on separate hard disk partitions or on separate disks. They may be able to access each other's files, possibly via some extra driver software if they use different file systems.

If you have been charged with a crime or you are the subject of a criminal investigation it is vital that you hire the best criminal lawyer in Singapore as soon as possible. However, you must first learn how to know that you have chosen the best.
What to Look for When You Hire a Criminal Lawyer
The most important thing in this situation is choosing the right legal professional that is going to be responsible for the handling of your case. You can choose within a firm the specific criminal lawyer in Singapore that you want to do the majority of the work on your case and even include it in the terms of your agreement. However, once you are out the door, you will have very little control over the way the lawyer handles your case.
For this reason, it is important that you chose an honest criminal lawyer in Singapore that is diligent and trustworthy. Ask about the cases that they have worked on in the past and the outcomes of those cases. Find out if they usually just mitigate or if they have genuine trial experience. This is an indication that they will be able to take your case to verdict if it comes to that.
Conduct Your Own Research
Search for online reviews and any complaints from former clients or anyone who has had an unpleasant encounter with the firm or any of the individual lawyers. Search for information on their past cases and any news stories in which they may have been included.

SUBMICRON SIDE STREAM FILTRATION FOR COMMERCIAL COOLING LOOPS
REMOVING THE SOURCES OF FOULING TO MAXIMIZE THE EFFICIENCY OF COOLING ASSETS
WHY FILTER YOUR COOLING WATER?
The advantages of side stream filtration include:
- Reduced energy consumption by reducing fouling on heat transfer surfaces
- Improved effectiveness of anti-corrosion and biocide treatment
- Decreased nutrient sources and habitat for potential Legionella growth
- Minimized maintenance and downtime
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FILTER FOR YOUR COOLING APPLICATION
Although many technologies have been used for side stream filtration, for over thirty years Vortisand submicron filters have been recognized as the pinnacle in performance and continued innovation in the industry.
The new C-Series builds on years of experience and customer feedback to provide a range of filters ideal for commercial cooling applications such as HVAC, data centers, central utility plants, hospitals, district energy facilities and many more. Some of the enhancements include:
- 15% smaller footprint
- Simple, intuitive controls for easier operation and troubleshooting
- Piping layout designed for ease of installation and service
- Split skid design for maneuverability in tight spaces such as mechanical utility rooms
Dependable Safety and Reliability
- Dedicated enclosures for high and low voltage electronics to improve safety during operations
- Fail-closed valves to enhance safety and operational integrity
- Pressure vessels built to ASME code for added reliability and longevity
SIZING YOUR SIDE STREAM FILTER FOR OPEN LOOPS
While there are several possible configurations for installing a side stream filter on an open loop. Evoqua recommends the Vortisand filter draw a side stream from the pressurized section of the loop downstream of the main recirculation pumps. This ensures adequate suction pressure to the Vortisand feed pump.
How it Works
Vortisand® filtration systems use exclusive VortiJet™ diffusers to generate a cross- flow pattern that flows parallel to the surface of the media. Combining this cross-flow pattern with fine 0.15 mm microsand media allows the filter to remove contaminants in two ways: (1) large contaminants are blocked by the microsand while the cross-flow patterns holds them in suspension and prevents them from blocking the surface, (2) finer contaminants that enter the microsand layer are trapped within its fine pores.
- CROSS-FLOW: VortiJet injector induces a cross-flow pattern across surface of media. Large particles are kept in suspension which prevent media surface blinding.1. CROSS-FLOW: VortiJet injector induces a cross-flow pattern across surface of media. Large particles are kept in suspension which prevent media surface blinding.
- MICROSAND: Small particles penetrate the fine microsand media bed where
- SUPPORT STRUCTURE: Larger media is used to act as a support structure for the microsand. These layers do not perform filtration they are trapped within small pores
- UNDERDRAIN: Filtered water flows through the support layers and out through the wedge wire underdrain.
TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS FOR COOLING LOOPSTECHNOLOGY BENEFITS FOR COOLING LOOPS
- Submicron filtration – Removing the fine particles responsible for fouling cooling systems helps to keep cooling equipment operating at peak efficiency.
- Smaller footprint – High filtration rates mean Vortisand filters have the smallest footprint of any media filter.
- Automated operation/minimal maintenance – Vortisand filters are fully automated, require minimal maintenance and have a user-friendly interface complete with maintenance reminders.
- Lower cost of operation – Since the microsand media backwashes easily, Vortisand filters use up to 50% less water for backwashing than conventional media filters.

A group of 270 doctors wrote an open letter to audio streaming service Spotify asking the tech company to implement a COVID-19 misinformation policy following an episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast.
The letter cites an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” in which Rogan interviewed prominent virologist Dr. Robert Malone who cast doubt on the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. In particular, the authors took umbrage with comments Malone Malone made about “mass formation psychosis” and Malone’s claims that political leaders have “hypnotized” the public into supporting particular public health measures.
“These actions are not only objectionable and offensive, but also medically and culturally dangerous,” the letter said.
The authors cited Malone’s suspension from Twitter as evidence that Spotify should prevent Malone from speaking on its platform, and they argued that Spotify should follow the social media company’s lead.
“Having things like this on the Joe Rogan podcast gives a platform to these people and makes it a false balance. This is what really bothers me,” Dr. Katrine Wallace, an epidemiologist at the University of Illinois Chicago School of Public Health who signed onto the letter, told Rolling Stone.
The letter said that Spotify is “responsible” for the audio content for which it provides a platform, and it called on the company to institute a COVID-19 misinformation policy.
“By allowing the propagation of false and societally harmful assertions, Spotify is enabling its hosted media to damage public trust in scientific research and sow doubt in the credibility of data-driven guidance offered by medical professionals,” the letter said.
The letter included prominent signatories such as Dr. Eric Topol, professor and executive vice president at Scripps Research.
Spotify did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

After hours, days, and many sleepless nights (okay, I lied, I actually slept like usual), the new design for Craving Tech is complete. A new year, a new resolution. Or well, not really. I just thought that it’s been a while since this blog has a new theme/design or maybe I was just bored. But ever since Thesis 2 framework was released (the blog was using the old Thesis 1.8.5 framework before), I always wanted to give it a real try. I had a few moments of giving up before I decided to really take the plunge. Thesis framework has a steep learning curve but worth it til the end for maintenance, speed, and stability.
Now the design is complete and I think it’s much cleaner than the one before. I’m not a CSS expert unfortunately, so I’m relying myself on reading tutorials and copy-pasting the tutorial codes while changing the values around.
Old design in a nutshell
New design in a nutshell
I guess I don’t even need to provide these screenshots because you can have a look at it yourself. I personally like the color combination compared to the old dull-dark-red. Took me a while to actually find the combination that I really like (tried having an overall theme in blue, but failed miserably).
If you are interested in a Thesis 2 review or why I moved from Thesis 1 to Thesis 2 despite its negativities on the web, then you’ll have to wait for another post (assuming there are enough interests in one).
Anyway, I’m still tweaking things here and there but would love to hear your feedback below. If you encounter any errors, do let me know through the comments section below. At the moment there are some funny error messages in the Contact page so I’m still trying to figure that one out.
Do you like the new design? Or the old one better?

A new documentary examines the 18 months that John Lennon spent with May Pang. One Lennon song describes it in particularly joyous fashion.
His blend of Mexican music and rockabilly — plus his refusal to hide his background — made Trini Lopez a pioneer in more ways than one.
The complex rhythms of boogie-woogie were originally meant for dancing. And this joyful jazz still has the power to get you on your feet.
Rock ‘n roll is raucous. Many performers have taken a swing at fellow bandmates or family members. Here are some of the top conflicts in the genre.

Can’t get enough of freshly roasted nuts? Now you can roast them yourself in your…
2 raw mackerel
2 tbsp Panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp breadcrumbs
3 tbsp olive oil
1 segment of pickled (salted) lemon
1 sprig flat-leaf parsley
1 tsp butter
Light the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat, with the Stainless Steel Grid, to a temperature of 170°C.
Meanwhile, slice open the belly of each mackerel and remove the entrails. Rinse the abdominal cavity and the outside of the mackerel well under cold running water. Cut the heads off the mackerel. Fillet the mackerel on both sides, starting from the belly side and leave the fillets joined together by the skin. Snip the backbone away from the flesh at the tail and carefully pull out the backbone. Remove any small bones with a pair of tweezers.
Mix together the Panko and the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Sprinkle the fleshy side of the fillets with white pepper and fine sea salt to taste and coat the skin side of the double fillets in the Panko mixture.
Heat the olive oil in the Cast Iron Skillet on the grid of the EGG. Finely chop the peel of the pickled lemon segment. Pull the leaves from the sprig of parsley and chop finely.
Put the butter in the skillet and wait until it melts. Lay the mackerel fillets in the hot skillet with the bread-crumbed skin side down. Sprinkle with the finely chopped lemon peel and parsley. Close the lid of the EGG and bake the mackerel fillets for about 8 minutes until the underside is golden brown and crisp.
Turn the mackerel fillets over briefly and then remove them from the skillet immediately. Tuck in and serve with a garnish of your choice or use the mackerel in a meal of your choice.
Tastes good with antiboise or a fresh-tasting mayonnaise.

Cowichan Housing Association Financial Contribution Service
The Cowichan Housing Association Financial Contribution Service (the CHAFC Service) is an annual financial contribution to the Cowichan Housing Association (CHA) by the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD). It was established by "CVRD Bylaw No. 4201 - Cowichan Housing Association Annual Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw, 2018," a bylaw to establish a service to provide an annual financial contribution to Cowichan Housing Association.
The purpose of the CHAFC is to provide program and services to affordable housing and homelessness prevention in the CVRD.
The citizens of the Cowichan region have identified affordable housing as a top priority. Local governments are increasingly playing a leading role in solving the housing crisis.
CHAFC enables the CHA to match non-profit housing ideas with suitable land, find developers to build the housing, and secure grants from senior levels of government to make the idea a reality. The CHA is accountable to the CVRD and the community through approved annual work plans, with requirements for annual reporting of results. For each housing initiative, the CHA issues a call for proposals, with an approval process that includes criteria to ensure regional priorities are met.
Maximum Annual Budget:
The annual cost to provide this service is a maximum of $765,000 to be raised by property value tax and other revenues permitted under the Local Government Act or any other Act.
$3.87/$100,000 assessed value (For a home valued at $500,000, the annual cost would be $19.35)
This financial contribution service is generally allocated as follows:
- $500,000 (65%) would be committed directly to seed funding for getting bricks and mortar projects underway, and will be known as the Housing Trust Fund (HTF). The target users of these projects would be low to moderate income households including families with children, lone parent families, singles and seniors.
- $138,000 (18%) would be dedicated to ensuring housing projects succeed through comprehensive project assessments, up-to-date data collected to justify need and demand, developing new partnerships and preventing housing loss for our most vulnerable residents.
- $127,000 (17%) would be used for overhead costs required to administer the service, including CVRD administration costs.

Bora-Hansgrohe have unveiled their kit for the 2023 season, sticking with the formula that proved such a hit last season but throwing in a few subtle tweaks.
The German team's kit topped Cyclingnews' 2022 kit ranking with its bold combination of colours in an asymmetrical panelled design.
The 2023 kit, made once again by British brand Le Col, retains the same overall look and feel, but a closer inspection reveals some minor adjustments.
The biggest difference is the amount of red, which was previously limited to a couple of panels around the right-hand side at the bottom of the jersey. Now, there's a much larger section of red on the right-hand side, along with a strip on the left-hand side, and a faded strip on the right chest.
On the back, there is again a much bigger section right across the middle, and more at the very bottom. There's even some red detailing on the zip cover on the collar.
There's also more black on the jersey. Previously covering the right sleeve, it has moved over to the left and now covers the chest as well, moving all the way across to the right of the jersey to house the Bora logo.
Elsewhere, the light and dark shades of sea green remain in the slightly rearranged order.

The shorts continue the theme of the jersey, remaining black but with an increase of red on the trim.
Bora-Hansgrohe have transitioned into a Grand Tour team since saying goodbye to Peter Sagan in 2021, and won the Giro d'Italia this year with Jai Hindley. The Australian will now lead the line at the Tour de France as Aleksandr Vlasov takes aim at the Giro d'Italia.
Sam Bennett is the team's sprinter, hoping to bounce back from a difficult 2022 campaign, while other notable riders include new signing Bob Jungels and the German contingent of Max Schachmann, Nils Politt, Lennard Kämna, and Emanuel Buchmann.
Patrick is a freelance sports writer and editor. He’s an NCTJ-accredited journalist with a bachelor’s degree in modern languages (French and Spanish). Patrick worked full-time at Cyclingnews for eight years between 2015 and 2023, latterly as Deputy Editor.

I have continued with my ballroom dancing watercolor painting over the weekend. Have painted the man’s head and a did another couple of watercolor washes on his ballroom gown. His shoes and the ladies gown under the tail of the man’s gown is also painted. The shoes and the gown probably will be needing some more watercolor layers. What I am really thinking about now is what kind of background I should give to this painting. There are lots of options and I need to come up with one that compliments the subject and yet it will let it stand out.

Outside the traditional school day, many children don’t know where their next meal will come from. Schools have the facilities, equipment, staff and skills to help fill this gap through an Afterschool Snack Program. Part of the National School Lunch Program, Afterschool Snacks provide children with the nutritional boost they need to make it to their next meal.
Increased Child Nutrition Revenue – Afterschool snacks can bring in significant additional revenue, especially in areas that have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.
More Nutrition for Students – School-aged children have higher daily intake of fruits, vegetables, milk and key nutrients – like calcium, vitamin A and folate – on days they eat afterschool meals compared to days they do not.
Increased Learning Opportunities – Afterschool meals can help draw children into educational and enrichment activities and programming after school.
How Does It Work?
Afterschool Snacks are typically offered alongside enrichment programs like reading programs, recreational sports or afterschool care. Serving Afterschool Snacks help students engage in these programs while filling the hunger gap many of them face in the afternoon and early evening. Snacks are pre-packaged and served in the cafeteria or transported by cooler to another location in the school building.

2024 Q3 Dakota Outlook
Changing Seasons and a Changing Economy
As we enter Autumn, the Dakota Institute is happy to bring you the latest issue of the Dakota Outlook. You could even say that this issue takes its cues from the changing of the seasons. The FED has recently changed course and has started a rate-cutting cycle. The country is only a month away from a presidential election that will bring political change of one sort or another to Washington. South Dakotans will be voting on several ballot measures and constitutional amendments that could bring dramatic change to our state as well. With so much potential change ahead, our fellows bring you more of the deep analysis and insight that the Dakota Institute is known for, so that our readers can better understand where we’ve been and where we might go from here.
First up we bring you an analysis of teacher pay in South Dakota. Eight years ago South Dakota’s lawmakers launched a major effort to boost teacher pay and put the state on a better path. The 2015 legislation that came out of that effort created the new half-penny sales tax to better fund teacher pay and created incentives for school districts to grow and maintain teacher pay. The data show that inflation and slow pay raises have hurt that effort, though, and teacher pay in South Dakota is once more falling behind. Teachers across the state have seen their salary gains eroded by inflation and small gains in nominal compensation have resulted in meaningful cuts to real wages.
Not all workers and industries have fared poorly in recent years, though. Over the last decade, South Dakota has demonstrated impressive resilience and steady workforce growth. Not only that, some of the state’s industries that were hardest hit by Covid have charged back to full strength and far surpassed their pre-Covid status. Annual employment growth averaged only 0.9% during the five years prior to the Covid pandemic. From 2021 through 2023, annual employment growth has averaged 2.8%, three times higher than before Covid. The Leisure and Hospitality and the Trade, Transportation, and Utilities sectors have been two of the state’s leading growth sectors.
Next up, this issue of the Dakota Outlook digs deep into the question of where many of our state’s new residents came from before became South Dakotans. South Dakota experienced a small population surge from 2020 through 2022, largely due to increased domestic and international migration. We could be seeing this trend slowing down, though, and the more recent contributor to population growth may be due to a declining number of deaths, always a welcome change. One of the more interesting insights in this issue is how many of the state’s current residents seem to be moving to Lincoln County.
Finally, we bring you an interesting exploration of South Dakota’s unusually strong housing market. The FED’s recent rate reductions may help new buyers to a small degree, but home prices in South Dakota are higher than ever. They also show no sign of falling soon. Median nominal home prices in South Dakota have risen by 80% in the last eight years. Only six other states saw their median home prices grow more quickly. We show evidence that strong demand from buyers continues to support South Dakota’s housing market. Median home prices in the state rose by $16,066 from 2023 through August of 2024. Only seven states saw prices rise by more.

Beyond Feeding: How Dads Can Bond with Baby and Support Mom in the Newborn Phase
Bringing a new baby home is an incredible journey for both parents. For dads and partners, it can sometimes be hard to find ways to bond with the baby that don’t revolve around feeding. Here are some meaningful ways to connect with your newborn while also being a pillar of support for mom.
Skin-to-skin time isn’t just for moms; it’s an amazing way for dads and partners to build a bond. Holding the baby close to your chest helps calm and soothe them, regulating their heart rate and breathing. The warm, physical closeness fosters a strong, comforting connection that is as beneficial to the baby as it is to you.
Develop a Calming Routine
Babies love routine, and dads can create a unique calming ritual that’s all their own. Maybe it’s a particular song you hum, a gentle rocking technique, or simply the way you hold them. This time together is calming for the baby and gives you both something special to share.
Be Present for Tummy Time
Tummy time isn't always fun for your baby so but getting down on the floor with them makes it more engaging. Lay down, talk, and make faces. It’s a playful way for dads to support their development while forming a unique bond.
Talk, Read, and Narrate
Babies love the sound of their parents' voices, so talking, reading, or even narrating your day around them helps them feel included and engaged. This doesn’t need to be elaborate - simply describing what you’re doing or reading a book can create a sweet, familiar connection.
Make Bath Time a Special Moment
Bath time is another opportunity for bonding. Whether it’s a sponge bath or a gentle soak in the tub, this can be a playful yet soothing experience. As you wash you’ll build a comforting routine that baby associates with you. Plus, this can also be a huge help in giving mom a moment to herself.
How Supporting Mom Builds a Stronger Family Bond
The early days of parenting are a team effort, and being there for mom is one of the most valuable things you can do. A strong support system helps mom’s well-being and ultimately enhances the whole family’s bond.
Give Her Breaks: Taking over for short stretches allows mom some time to rest, which is essential for her recovery and mental health.
Offer Emotional Support: Postpartum can be overwhelming, so check in, listen actively, and be ready to help however she needs. Monitor her to ensure she doesn't have more than just the baby blues.
Tackle Household Tasks: Taking on everyday chores like cooking and cleaning can be a huge relief for mom, letting her focus more on baby and herself.
Encourage Her to Take Time for Herself: Encourage mom to do things that help her recharge, like a short walk, a relaxing shower, or time to catch up with a friend.
By bonding with the baby and being a strong support system for mom, dads and partners can create a nurturing environment that strengthens family connections. The love and partnership you show now set a beautiful foundation for your family’s future together.

The Air Force is testing the viability of palletized munitions on its cargo aircraft to increase fire capacity, and could soon proceed to prototyping and fielding that capability, the head of the Air Force Warfighting Integration Capability (AFWIC) office said May 27.
The service has conducted successful tests of simulated palletized munitions from both C-130 and C-17 transport aircraft to see how effective the technology would be to provide additional capacity to the joint force, said Maj. Gen. Clint Hinote in a Wednesday videoconference hosted by the Mitchell Institute.
“What we see is that no matter how big our bomber force is, the capacity that the joint force needs is always more and more and more,” Hinote said. “This is why we think that there’s a real possibility here for using cargo platforms to be able to increase the capacity of fires.”
Hinote noted that the Air Force was in a stage currently “where new initiatives are hard to get across the finish line,” during the final year of a presidential term, and with a budget request submitted early in the year that limits changes. What’s more, the U.S. military and other budget observers are still weighing the possibility of a continuing resolution slowing down the enactment of fiscal year 2021 defense authorization and appropriations bills.
That being said, “that is all temporary,” he acknowledged. “And as we go forward, we see that one of the initiatives we definitely are wanting to pursue is the use of other types of aircraft and increasing the capacity of fires.
The Air Force in February released a request for information for palletized munitions technologies, with a response date of April 17. On Wednesday, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) revealed that in January, the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) successfully released palletized munitions from an MC-130J tanker, in three airdrops at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. Aircrew released five wooden pallets – dubbed Combat Expendable Platforms – stacked with six simulated munitions in both low and high-altitude airdrops, AFRL said in a release.
Four of the munitions were Cargo Launch Expendable Air Vehicles with Extended Range (CLEAVERs), a prototype long-range, high precision weapon developed by AFRL.
“This successful [demo] is evidence of our commitment to evolve innovative weapons concepts and enhance our partnership with AFSOC to meet the needs of the National Defense Strategy,” said Col. Garry Haase, the director of AFRL’s Munitions Directorate at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. “CLEAVER represents a different approach to launching large numbers of long-range weapons, which will bring a new dynamic to the high-end fight.”
In future demonstrations, AFSOC will release CLEAVER glider vehicles, powered vehicles and full-up vehicles with optional warhead and terminal guidance, the Air Force said.

More Than a Dozen States Have Activated the National Guard to Secure Midterm Elections
Other states can request help, but some leaders say more capacity is needed.
At least 14 states have spun up their National Guard units to ward off cyber attacks on the national election that concludes tomorrow, but others have not.
North Carolina is one of the states that has.
“This year, we're in place to ensure that if there's any assistance that's needed, we're working proactively with our state board of elections, not just on the day of elections, but really prior to to do security analysis checks and look into the network to make sure it's as secure as possible,” Maj. Gen. Marvin Hunt, adjutant general for North Carolina’s National Guard, told reporters Friday. “We're really that third party that comes in—it's just assisting them—to give them a different look. So that on election day, we can all have confidence in our election systems.”
Hunt said his cyber team is always working, but will “surge during the election to ensure that we have 24-hour coverage throughout this whole process.”
North Carolina’s units have helped state entities shore up their cyber hygiene and have provided training to most of its 100 counties, he said.
The National Guard has been stepping up its election and cyber support in recent years. More than 2,200 Army and Air National Guard personnel serve across 38 cyber operations units with another 2,240 service members providing cyber and IT mission assurance, network assessments, protection, and risk mitigation.
States that lack their own Guard units for such things can request help from states that do. But Maj. Gen. Rich Neely, the adjutant general and commander of the Illinois National Guard, said few states have enough cyber capability, and “we're seeing a continued growth in this area and the need for additional security capability within the National Guard.”
And many of the states and territories with cyber units are not using them for election support.
“What you notice is 54 states and territories—not everybody's doing it, and those that are have invested in cyber talent and cyber missions for years,” said Brig. Gen. Gent Welsh, the assistant adjutant general and commander of the Washington Air National Guard.
“So if you don't have a cyber unit in your state, chances are you're not in a good position to help out that state for some of the elections, security issues that we've got.”
Welsh added that private and state entities are often up against “military-grade adversaries,” but don’t have the structures in place to combat them.
IT security professionals in private companies and state governments aren’t necessarily trained “to do this kind of work,” he said.
“Most of the IT security is built around making sure maybe the walls are higher and the lights are blinking. But one of the unique things here is you have the National Guard whose mission it is…to do cyber missions against other military structures.”
The Guard teams with U.S. Cyber Command, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the lead federal agency on election security, as well as federal and local law enforcement agencies that watch closely for specific threats.
Guard leaders wouldn’t provide specifics on observed threats or particular vulnerabilities state systems were showing during this election cycle, but the expectation is that Election Day will be a regular day on the internet.
Earlier this year, the National Guard completed support for 10 states—Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington, and West Virginia—spanning various agencies, such as Arizona’s Department of Homeland Security, secretaries of state and their respective departments, and boards of elections.
Fourteen states have ongoing cyber and election security support: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, North Carolina, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and West Virginia.

Russia expands list of undesirable NCOs, including Soros Foundation and Freedom House
The Russian Federation Council (parliament's upper house) has expanded the list of foreign non-commercial organizations (NCOs) whose activities are undesirable in Russia. They include the Soros Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, Freedom House, the World Congress of Ukrainians and another eight organizations, a draft document received by TASS said.
The Russian "stop list" of foreign NCOs also mentions the National Endowment for Democracy foundation, the International Republican Institute, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Education for Democracy foundation, the East European Democratic Center, the Ukrainian World Coordinating Council and the Crimean field mission on human rights.
"The Federation Council suggests considering the patriotic stop-list, which comprises a number of foreign or international non-commercial organizations known for their anti-Russian orientation with an aim of possible application to them of the norms of applicable Russian legislation on recognition of their activities as undesirable," the Federation Council, which is to approve the stop-list, said in a draft resolution.
"It is noteworthy that when we looked through its final version, it turned out that out of 12 organizations mentioned in the list 7 are linked to the United States; two - to Poland and 3 - to Ukraine," Konstantin Kosachev, the head of the Federation Council Committee for International Affairs, said.
Kosachev suggested forming a patriotic "stop-list" for foreign NCOs at the Federation Council plenary session on June 24.
A law on the so-called undesirable organizations adopted in spring implies that any foreign or international non-governmental organization, "which poses a threat to the foundations of Russia's constitutional system, defense capability and state security, can be classified as undesirable." Russia's chief prosecutor or his deputies has the right to announce an organization to be undesirable on prior consultation with the Russian Foreign Ministry. The list of "undesirable organizations" will be kept and published by the Russian Justice Ministry. "Undesirable organizations" are forbidden to create subsidiaries in the territory of Russia; disseminate their information materials; carry out transactions with funds or other property via credit or non-credit financial institutions. Participation in the activities of an "undesirable organization" will be classified as an administrative offence punishable by a fine. People who systemically break this regulation may face criminal charges.

Russia's Rosneft oil major, China's Huaxin energy co. sign strategic cooperation agreement
Russia's oil major Rosneft said on Sunday it has signed a strategic cooperation agreement and a long-term oil supplies contract with China's energy company Huaxin.
"On the margins of the 9th BRICS summit, Rosneft and China's energy company Huaxin signed an agreement on strategic cooperation and a long-term contract for oil supplies. The documents were signed by Rosneft's Chief Executive Director Igor Sechin and Huaxin's President Chen Qiutu," Rosneft said in a press release.
According to Rosneft, the strategic cooperation agreements provides for the implementation of joint prospecting and production projects in Western and Eastern Siberia and reveals the Chinese corporation's integral approach to cooperation with Rosneft. The agreement also envisages cooperation between the two companies in such areas as oil refinery and petrochemistry, trade in oil and oil products.
Apart from that, the two companies inked a contract on supplies of Russian crude oil. The contract, according to the Russian oil major, is geared to increase direct oil supplies to the strategically important Chinese market and will guarantee an economically efficient channel for oil exports.
The document will come into force as soon as they are approved by Rosneft.
In June, the two companies agreed to set up a working group to look into possible cooperation on potential projects.
A vertically integrated company, China's Huaxin specialized in oil and gas production, refinery, transportation and sales projects. It has a banking, stock exchange and other financial tools and is a major player on the global market for investments in such spheres as new energy sources, bio-pharmaceuticals, aviation, tourism, infrastructure projects.

When I am home alone or when I am on my way home from a friend, my anxiety eats me up and my suicidal thoughts start to haunt my head. It's not something I'm ashamed to talk about, but it is so extremely hard to live with. I'm not looking for empathy so don't feel sorry for me, but I just want to vent because sometimes it feels nice to be able to do it. I didn’t know that my thoughts of suicide would follow me so far in my life. I can feel good one second and everything is like at the top and in the next second I feel so fucking bad and think about killing myself....And now i’m so worried. So worried that I will feel so bad when i move. I really hope God is by my side and makes me feel better soon because i have promised myself to not back from my little adventure to Barcelona.

Shabbir, I am holding this stock for more than an year now and is almost 80% up now. I Need your advise on how long I can hold / target in next 1 year.
Sales are going nicely apart from March 2012 where the sales just spiked and then back to good growth. So I would say 170 looks a good target to me in this stock fundamentally. Technically I don't see much can be applied on this stock because there are not much volume on this stock

The Rise of Drone Technology in Various Industries
Drone technology isn't just for taking breathtaking aerial photos anymore; it's revolutionizing a wide array of industries by adding efficiency, safety, and a fresh perspective that was previously unimaginable. And, we will want you to gaze an eye on how drones are making significant impacts across various sectors from real estate to agriculture.
Pharetra sit amet aliquam id diam maecenas. Dignissim suspendisse in est ante in nibh mauris cursus mattis. Pellentesque sit amet porttitor eget dolor morbi. Amet consectetur adipiscing elit duis tristique sollicitudin nibh. In vitae turpis massa sed elementum tempus egestas sed sed. Libero enim sed faucibus turpis in eu.
1. Real Estate: Enhancing Property Marketing with Aerial Imagery
In the world of real estate, first impressions can make or break a sale. Drone technology has emerged as a game-changer, enabling realtors to showcase properties in an entirely new light. Drones provide stunning aerial visuals that highlight the property's layout, size, and the surrounding area, making listings stand out in a crowded market. This not only captivates potential buyers but also streamlines the marketing process for realtors.
2. Construction: Revolutionizing Site Surveys and Project Monitoring
The construction industry is leveraging drone technology to enhance efficiency and safety. From the initial site planning stages to the final touches, drones offer invaluable data and imagery. They aid in precise site surveys, monitor construction progress in real time, and ensure that projects adhere to their planned timelines. Drones are transforming the way construction projects are managed by providing a bird ' s-eye view that was previously difficult and expensive to obtain
3. Mining: Improving Site Safety and Efficiency Through Drone Integration
Mining operations are notorious for their harsh and hazardous environments. Drones are stepping in to improve safety and operational efficiency. Through aerial surveys, drones provide detailed and accurate mappings of mines, real-time monitoring of operations, and inspection of hard-to-reach areas, all while keeping human workers out of harm's way.
4. Filmmaking: Offering Unique Perspectives and Reducing Production Costs
The cinematic world has always sought innovative ways to capture audiences' imaginations, and drones have provided just that. With the ability to shoot from angles and locations that would be challenging or impossible for human crews, drones are offering filmmakers the opportunity to push creative boundaries while also cutting down on the hefty costs associated with traditional aerial filming methods like helicopters.
5. Agriculture: Transforming Crop Monitoring and Management
Drones are flying high in the agricultural sector, assisting farmers in increasing crop yields and reducing costs. They make it possible to monitor crop health, moisture levels, and pest infestations from above, enabling precise application of water, fertilizers, and pesticides. This aerial advantage is transforming how farms operate, leading to more efficient and sustainable agricultural practices.
6. Additional Industries: Expanding Drone Applications
Beyond the sectors mentioned, drones are finding their niche in transportation, public safety, journalism, and environmental conservation, among others. They're delivering medical supplies to remote areas, aiding in search and rescue operations, capturing news from aerial perspectives, and monitoring wildlife and ecosystems. This versatility highlights the expansive potential of drone technology across various fields.
The journey into the world of drone technology offers an exciting pathway for those looking to thrive in an innovative and rapidly evolving industry. As we've explored, the demand for skilled drone pilots spans across diverse sectors. This plethora of opportunities is not only shaping the future of work but also contributing significantly to various facets of the economy and societal welfare.
For those inspired to take flight in this dynamic field, acquiring the right skills and certifications, such as those offered by esteemed institutions like DroneLab, is the first step towards unlocking these opportunities. We will not only expand the horizons for current and aspiring drone pilots but also underscore the importance of innovative technologies in crafting the future of our world. Our training path is laid out for those ready to soar into a career in drone technology, promising not just a job, but a journey into the heart of innovation and endless possibilities.

1-877-286-8698Addicted individuals need to have a drug rehabilitation program in Raymore, Missouri which will provide them with outcomes that aren't only going to be temporary while they're there, but will last them the rest of their lives. If a drug and alcohol treatment facility doesn't shoot for these kind of results, than really what's the point ? Unfortunately, many centers say they are able to provide these types of results but don't provide the right rehab environment nor do they provide enough treatment to ensure that individuals can confidently return home prepared to live a drug free life. This is often the case with programs which offer only a 30-day rehabilitation plan, or outpatient centers which don't give individuals the change of environment they need to really get the most from treatment. In Raymore, MO., the most beneficial rehab options aren't necessarily the most convenient or easy ones, but they are the programs which require most some time and commitment. Long-term inpatient and residential drug rehabilitation programs in Raymore usually demand a commitment of 90-120 days, the most effective approach based on the success rates of clients while in treatment and long after they complete rehab and go back home. Many inpatient and residential drug rehabilitation facilities accept private medical health insurance, and in certain cases may even offer a sliding scale fee. So financing quality alcohol and drug rehab in Raymore, MO. is achievable for many people, even when they believe it might not be.
If someone isn't readily accepting help, the problem is never going to get better without treatment, and it's probably time for family members to step up and hold an intervention. Although it may seem daunting, an intervention is actually a lot easier and much more productive than you think, and can be held straight away with the aid of a Raymore treatment counselor or interventionist.

If we don’t have physical models to show us how to slow down, then we need physical spaces. We need meditation rooms and quiet spaces, indoor and outdoor sanctuaries where there is only one rule and one expectation…to be quiet.
“Melinda Easterling ratifies the hunt for peace in the 21st century.”
I was thrilled to write for Ebenezer Chapel in support of their quest to create an underground quiet and meditative space for visitors to Raleigh, North Carolina for centuries to come. Check out their web site and my blog on why we should all support public quiet spaces (repost below).
Why do we need quiet spaces? Why not just plop down on a park bench, close our eyes at our desk at work or sit on a chair at home and meditate? Why? Because no one else is doing that. We (those of us who live in the West) don’t live in a culture that says chill, take it easy, slow down. We live in a hyper world. We run passed park benches. We rush to the finish line at work…a finish line that always evades us because there’s another and another. We push ourselves and our partners and our kids at home…

Adrian Heath has changed the style for the Loons this season as in years past they've been an open-attacking side sometimes exposing their defense, but they've dialed things back this year. While Minnesota haas only scored 11 goals, the defense led by keeper Dayne St. Clair has only allowed six, a mark good for being the best defense in the league. The attack is led by Emanuel Reynoso whose two goals and three assists account for almost half of the team's scoring output. Tracking his movements will be critical for Kellyn Acosta and Ilie Sanchez but Heath would like to make the attack less predictable saying, "Our defensive shape has been pretty good all season. I think that it's probably been in the attacking areas that there have been question marks asked and a bit more concern from us, " Heat said.

"In terms of defending as a group, that's never been in question. Obviously, our goalkeepers have been excellent this year, and Boxy (Michael Boxall) and Dibassy (Bakaye Dibassy) are so experienced, and whoever has come in at fullback has really contributed. It's been a really good team effort. The days of just isolating the back four have gone. This is a 10-man defensive shape and a 10-man attacking shape.

Register for Zero-Emission Buildings Academy webinar #7 held on 30/11/2023
ECTP invites you to the next webinar of the Zero-Emission Buildings Academy, launched in partnership with BPIE (Buildings Performance Institute Europe) and ECI (European Copper Institute): INTRODUCING THE NEW EU BUILDING STOCK OBSERVATORY.
Established in 2016, the EU Building Stock Observatory (BSO) is a web tool that monitors energy performance and decarbonisation-related buildings data for all EU countries. It now includes more reliable data for basic building stock indicators, higher quality data visualisations and a more user-friendly interface, which will be continuously updated and improved.
This revamp of the BSO encompasses an ambitious set of upgrades, with the aim of establishing the platform as the central hub for European building stock data. Notably, it will contribute to improving transparency on energy efficiency across the EU’s building stock under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
The platform update is focused on 2 overarching goals to improve EU buildings data:
- ensuring the EU BSO is useful across the whole policy cycle from effective target-setting to implementation, enforcement monitoring and evaluation at both national and EU level
- improving the platform’s user interface, making it easier to navigate for a wide range of potential end-users including policymakers, investors, financial institutions, construction and real estate industry stakeholders, energy providers, local authorities and researchers
With the implementation of the recast EPBD forthcoming, the BSO will therefore serve as the central hub for data on buildings. The relaunch of the BSO and ongoing development efforts of the tool are foundational to future success to monitor progress on decarbonisation in Europe and to track Member State EPBD compliance.
Join Guidehouse and Eurac, hosted by the Leonardo Energy’s Zero Emission Building Academy to learn about the BSO revamp effort – what has been done so far, and what is in store in the coming months for the BSO!
The webinar will be held online on November 30, from 14:00 to 15:00 CET.
