The CYCLOPS extension has a single pulley for rapid loop ‘n go rigging. Simply pass the loop of rope through the tack pulley on the sail and hook it over the single pulley on the extension. A single pull applies full downhaul tension in seconds.
All the ropes and pulleys are kept in perfect alignment to eliminate a lot of the friction and makes up for any loss of leverage from less pulleys.
A built-in handle negates the need for any tool, and stuff into the downhaul pocket on the sail.
Formuline rope is used to further reduce friction and minimize rope wear.
Faster, simpler rigging.

"David S. Johnson (born August 3, 1926) is an American photographer. He is known for his portrayal of society, urban life, and the jazz culture of San Francisco's Fillmore District in the 1940s and 1950s, as well as figures of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Born in Florida under segregation and trained at the California School of Fine Arts, he was the first African American student of photographer Ansel Adams.
Johnson's work was largely overlooked until the early 2000s, when his works were featured in a documentary on the history of the Fillmore District. His photographs have since appeared in several books and gallery exhibits, and a selection was purchased by the Library of Congress. His collection is archived in the Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley." - Wikipedia

DANIEL MUNOZ struck in stoppage-time to complete a classic villain-to-hero story at Selhurst Park.
Munoz posted his entry for miss of the season after an awful waste from just six yard in the first half — and it got worse for Palace when Marc Guehi put past his owner keeper eight minutes after the break.
But the Colombian ace made amends for his earlier miss by planting a superb header past Nick Pope.
It means Toon boss Eddie Howe was unable to mark turning 47 by taking all three points.
He thought he had eight minutes after the break when Harvey Barnes drew a foul from Jefferson Lerma 25 yards out on the right, Lewis Hall’s short free-kick was worked right to Sandro Tonali who found Gordon sneaking around the back to the byline.
His pass into the six-yard box was a peach and Guehi, trying to clear, ended up putting the ball past his own keeper for an unfortunate own goal.

The Toon boss was still smarting from the 2-0 loss at home to West Ham at St James’ Park on Monday night.
And he was left feeling gutted again as Munoz struck at the death.
Sandro Tonali returned to the Newcastle team, replacing Sean Longstaff, while Dan Burn was in for Lloyd Kelly after a one-game ban.
Meanwhile Palace chief Oliver Glasner was hoping to end a three-game win-less streak.

He also made two switches to the team — with Eberechi Eze back after a month out with a hamstring injury and Lerma also coming in with Justin Devenny and Cheick Doucoure on the bench.
It was a quiet start with Palace moving the ball around without any pressing.
Joe Willock had to receive treatment after picking up a muscular injury but got back on his feet to resume.
However it took a brilliant last-ditch clearance from Fabian Schar to deny Newcastle what looked like a certain leveller with Eze set to pounce from close range after a lovely pass from Ismaila Sarr.
Newcastle were dealt a blow when Alexander Isak came off worse in a 50-50 with Tyrick Mitchell and ended up hobbling off with a lot of discomfort in the Swiss star’s hip.
Harvey Barnes was flung on as his replacement.
And Trevoh Chalobah tried his luck from 30 yards – with the fizzing effort just clearing the bar.
Then Toon keeper Nick Pope stuck a leg out to keep out Sarr’s effort from point-blank range after a wonderful centre from Daniel Mumoz — although the assistant flagged offside.
Munoz was guilty of winning what surely will be a nomination for miss of the season.
As Palace countered following a Newcastle corner, Sarr played the perfect pass towards the back post for Munoz to shoot into an empty net from six yards. But incredibly he put his effort wide!
Newcastle finally forced Dean Henderson to make a save in the 40th minute when Barnes exchanged passes with Bruno Guimaraes before seeing his angled effort kept out by the Palace keeper.
Newcastle moved in front against the run of play seven minutes after the break thanks to a training-ground creativity and a piece of luck.
After Barnes drew a foul from Lerma 25 yards from goal on the right, Lewis Hall’s short free-kick was worked right to Tonali who found Gordon sneaking around the back to the byline.
His pass into the six-yard box deflected off Guehi for an unfortunate own goal.
But Palace were denied from levelling.
Sarr got one-on-one with Pope but the Toon keeper saved and Dan Burns’ shot on the follow up from an acute angle was kept out by Munoz.
Lerma then saw an effort from the edge of the box deflected wide.
Guehi, desperate to make amends for his error, could not quite keep his header down after meeting a cross.

Pope then managed to push a Sarr shot wide and from the resulting corner Guehi nodded the ball into the path of Jean-Philippe Mateta, whose shot on the turn flashed over.
But their equaliser came in dramatic fashion as Munoz fired in a head in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

NBA TV hosts Dennis Scott and Brent Barry seem to have a good time while they’re on set. Actually, we know they have a good time because they have an awesome job. How could you not enjoy that?
Dennis Scott, the former Orlando Magic guard, is always posting pictures of himself and his colleagues from the set of the show. Monday was no different, and the photos were pretty entertaining.
I’m not 100% sure what was happening in the first photo he posted today, but I wanted to use it because it was really random.
Here it is, posted by Scott to his Instagram.
“Tune in…NBATV”, he put under the photo.
That’s it? What are you doing with these dolls/puppets, and why are they there?
I didn’t get a chance to catch the show, so if anyone did and knows what they were doing with these, please let me know.
He posted this photo a little bit later into the night with Barry and one of their makeup artists.
“Brent doesn’t like make up…#LookGood Maxi”.
Honestly Dennis, what grown man likes makeup? Come on.
It looks more like he’s either on the verge of sneezing, or he just ate something that was really sour.
Either way, keep the pics coming. They’re always entertaining and gives us boring people a look behind the scenes of what it would be like to work in television.

OctaneRender for Houdini development preview 2015年3月18日13:17
Curious to see how the OpenCL implementation stacks up to CUDA. If LuxMark is any indication it could be a huge boon. But from what I've read previously with other renderers with dual support is that it won't compare. Any initial hints with regards to Octane?

Gränslandet – a Symphonic Festival 2019
An oasis where the atmosphere is relaxed but the musical experience is exciting and explosive. Tchaikovsky’s greatest symphony, a Kurdish world star, Philip Glass’s foremost symphonic work and one of Sweden’s greatest multi-artists. And all accompanied by the Symphony Orchestra, consisting of 80 hand-picked top young musicians.
August 16-17 , Gränslandet – A Symphonic Festival took over Trädgården for the third consecutive year. The programme presented a riotous mix of classical works, modern art music and pop. In the late summer heat, the area under Skanstull Bridge was transformed into an exuberant cultural bonanza and harvest festival. For two days and two nights the audience was invited into an ensemble of culinary experiences, art, socialising and top-class music. During the late evenings and nights, the festival turned into a unique club atmosphere where the audience could dance to the best electro dance music or settle into one of the smaller, more intimate rooms to listen to chamber music until the early hours of the morning.
Gränslandet’s Symphony Orchestra, which is the pride and core of the festival, presented, under the direction of conductor Christian Karlsen, everything from Tchaikovsky’s great 4th Symphony, Philip Glass’s epic 6th symphony Plutonian Ode to Lili Boulanger’s last orchestral work and Revueltas’s musical description of how to kill a snake. Together with 2019 year’s artists, the Kurdish world star Ciwan Haco and the Swedish multi-artist and singer Mariam the Believer, performed their pop songs in a way we have never heard before. At midnight both nights, pianist David Huang lead the audience in an oasis of silence as he performs Bach’s Goldberg Variations during two unique silent concerts in collaboration with Yamaha.
The founders of the Gränslandet Symphonic Festival are pianist David Huang, conductor Christian Karlsen and venue operators Trädgården (under the direction of Johanna Beckman). The festival was produced by ALMA in partnership with Bohm Bohm Room. The project was implemented with support from Signatur Foundation Sweden, the Swedish Arts Council and the Yamaha Piano Center in Sweden.

Dabeli is a popular street food in India, and each region may have slight variations in the recipe. It's a perfect snack for a quick bite or to serve at parties and gatherings, and it captures the essence of Indian street food with its delightful flavours.
India's love affair with dabeli is an emotion that permeates the streets of many states. It's a passion that transcends age, gender, and social boundaries, uniting the nation in a collective craving. Dabeli originated in the state of Gujarat and later made its way to Maharashtra. The exact origin of dabeli is attributed to a street food vendor named Keshavji Gabha Chudasama – or Kesha Malam – who introduced the dish in the late 1960s in Mandvi, Kutch, Gujarat.
Chudasama was a resident of Mandvi in Kutch, Gujarat, and he invented dabeli as a way to provide a unique and tasty snack to his customers. He combined various flavours and ingredients to create a filling made with mashed potatoes, spices, and other flavorful components.
The term "dabeli" originates from Gujarati and means pressed. This name was given to the snack because the pav (bread) used in dabeli is pressed and cooked on a tawa after it is stuffed with the flavourful potato filling. The pressing process allows the flavours to meld together and the bread to become crispy.
Dabeli gained immense popularity in Gujarat and eventually made its way to other parts of India, including Maharashtra. It became a beloved street food across these regions and acquired slight variations in its preparation and flavours to cater to local tastes. It's a reminder that in a nation as diverse as India, the love for food knows no boundaries, transcending cultures and unifying everyone in the delight of a single, delectable bite.

2 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely crushed
2 tablespoons dabeli masala
2 tablespoons tamarind chutney
2 tablespoons garlic chutney
2 tablespoons oil
Salt to taste
Butter for toasting the pavs
Sev for garnish
Fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped for garnish
Pomegranate seeds for garnish (optional)
Heat oil in a pan and add the chopped onions. Saute until they turn translucent.
Add the mashed potatoes, dabeli masala, and salt to the pan. Mix well and cook for a few minutes until the flavours combine.
Cut the pavs horizontally into half and toast them on a griddle with a little butter until they turn crispy and golden brown.
Spread a teaspoon of tamarind chutney on one side of the pav and garlic chutney on the other side.
Place a spoonful of the potato filling on one side of the pav. Sprinkle some crushed peanuts on top.
Close the pav and press it gently, ensuring that the filling is evenly distributed.
Heat a griddle or tawa and place the stuffed pav on it. Press it down with a spatula and cook for a minute on each side until the pav is nicely toasted.
Remove from heat and garnish with sev, chopped coriander leaves, and pomegranate seeds (if using).
Serve hot and enjoy the delicious dabeli!

The World Wind Energy Association and Renewable Resources Private Limited welcome the presence of those more than 600 participants from 30 countries attending this Conference, from wind and all other renewable energy technologies.
The Conference covered all aspects of wind utilisation, science and technology, related policies, manufacturing, development, operation, integrated solutions, community involvement as well as other economic and social issues.
The Conference appreciates the support of the governments and governmental as well as non-governmental organisations, especially the Government of Pakistan including the Ministry of Energy, the Alternative Energy Development Board, the Province of Sindh including the Ministry of Energy, Pakistan Wind Energy Association, GIZ and USAID, Asian Development Bank, Heinrich Böll Foundation, the International Renewable Energy Alliance, REN21, the Global 100% Renewable Energy Platform, all industry sponsors and exhibitors, and all organisations and individuals enhancing the Conference.
The Conference has tackled the issue of how to re-energise the developing world with renewable energy. The Conference agrees that making direct benefits available to all levels of society is key to substantially accelerate the switch to a renewable energy future.
The Conference welcomes and emphasises that wind and renewable energy are now broadly understood as lowest-cost solutions which have the potential to foster sustainable economic growth, to overcome energy poverty, and to strengthen resilience, autonomy and prosperity of communities.
The Conference requests to create fair market conditions including removing all direct and indirect subsidies from fossil energies.
The Conference recognises the urgency to combat climate change effectively by achieving – as soon as possible and in accordance with the Paris Agreement – an emission free energy supply worldwide, which means 100% renewable energy globally. Accordingly, new investment in the energy sector should only be made in renewable energy. Governments should accordingly declare renewable energy a national priority.
The Conference recognises that there are still manifold barriers in developing countries that hinder the fast deployment of wind power, including unreliable remuneration systems, bureaucratic barriers and shortage in grid capacity to evacuate electricity produced in wind farms. The Conference urges governments to encounter these barriers effectively.
The Conference understands that realising the huge potential of wind and the other renewable energies requires clear, reliable and positive policies. The lack of regulatory and political continuity has a harmful impact on the sector across the supply chain, from manufacturing, planning, construction, operation up to the finance.
The Conference underlines the importance of innovative technological, commercial and regulatory approaches, and sees huge potential in particular in hybridisation of wind energy systems, in combination with other renewable energy technologies.
The Conference gives emphasis to the nexus between water, food & agriculture and the energy sector and the need to use renewable energy in a way that also fosters water supply and sustainable agriculture.
The Conference underlines the importance of training and education in particular in light of the fact that the full benefits of renewable energy are only available when fostering economic activities and creating jobs. As a new industrial sector, wind power requires a skilled workforce. The Conference welcomes the initiative adopted by WWEA to improve international coordination and collaboration of training and education in the wind power sector.
The Conference notes the need to develop national strategies to foster domestic manufacturing capacities and capabilities and underlines that the best and most effective way to reach that goal is a sizable national market for wind power.
The Conference underlines the importance of rural electrification based on renewable energy and decentralised off-grid applications as the only approach that enables energy access for unserved communities and that goes hand in hand with community empowerment.
The Conference applauds the establishment of the permanent WWEA Office Pakistan which will provide information about the status and potential of wind power, including how to create appropriate regulatory frameworks, and will support the domestic wind sector in Pakistan to grow. For this purpose, the WWEA Pakistan chapter will also work closely with international organisations and donor agencies. WWEA Pakistan will also collaborate with the Pakistani offices of the Global 100% Renewable Energy Platform and the International Solar Energy Society, under the development leadership of Air Marshal (Retd.) Shahid Hamid.
The Conference applauds the making of the World Wind Energy Award 2018 to Air Marshal (Retd.) Shahid Hamid for his key role in creating the renewable energy market in Pakistan and for his international contributions to renewable energy.
The Conference encourages all wind energy stakeholders to participate in the next World Wind Energy Conference to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in autumn 2019.

The 3B Scientific® Birthing Simulator BASIC has been developed for the skill training in normal deliveries, in complicated deliveries and in obstetric emergencies.
Obstetric simulation has proven successful to enhance the training of delivery skills, following of protocols and reaction in emergency situation.
Assessment and manipulation of fetal positions:
Birthing complications are in general less likely when an abnormal fetal position or presentation can be detected before the labor process starts.
When a fetus doesn’t present in a normal position (facing backwards, presenting head first), the correct measures must be applied to assist a complicated delivery with manual maneuvers.
Furthermore, medical staff must be trained on when and how to apply obstetric emergency interventions (like a cesarean section).
With the 3B Scientific® Birthing Simulator BASIC you can see how manual maneuvers affect the fetus in-utero and train the following delivery skills and techniques:
- Normal vaginal delivery
- Normal delivery of umbilical cord and placenta
- Palpation and assessment of fetal position and presentation
- Diagnosis of all normal and abnormal fetal positions and presentations (like face, neck, or brow) to represent routine and difficult deliveries
- Shoulder dystocia demonstration and management
- Breech deliveries (including complete, footling or incomplete, and frank breech presentation)
- Palpation of fetal fontanelles features
- Complete and incomplete placenta birth
- Demonstration of placenta previa: total, partial, and marginal
- Prolapse of umbilical cord
- Nuchal umbilical cord
- Cesarean delivery through pre-cut incision
- Clamping and cutting of umbilical cord
- Simulated suctioning of baby’s mouth and nose
- Pinard’s maneuver
- Mauriceu-Smellie-Veit maneuver
- Prague maneuver
- Woods maneuver
The 3B Scientific® Birthing Simulator BASIC offers the following features for effective obstetric teaching and training:
- Fully articulating fetus with open mouth, tiltable head, shoulder blade, and anatomical correct fontanelles
- Life-size adult female lower torso, anatomically correct landmarks like pelvis, pelvic cavity, and spine
- Manual birthing system to control rotation and speed of fetus delivery
- Easy to change position of fetus during birthing process including descend, flexion, extension, internal and external rotation, and restitution
- Easy change-out of parts through pin connections, no tools necessary
- Anti-slip base and handles for extra support on tables
- 3B Scientific® Birthing Simulator BASIC
- Detachable, padded stomach cover with basic insert with pre-cut caesarian section
- Basic birth canal
- Assembly kit
- Fully articulating fetal baby
- Umbilical cord
The 3B Scientific® Birthing Simulator BASIC is made of soft vinyl (hard for inner structures) and silicone. It is easy to clean and all parts can quickly be changed without tools (pin connections).

Video games, increasingly looked at as a way to have fun by people of all ages, is quickly becoming a cause of concern in Orange County. Some residents of Orange County are using video games to transform their private homes into illegal gambling arcades, and in doing so, they could be facing serious consequences.
Rise of Slaphouses in Orange County
Many homes in Southern California have set up arcade video game machines that can seat as many as six people so that players can bet money, gambling for hours on end while often engaging in drinking and drug use. These homes are becoming known as “slaphouses” because of the loud sounds people’s hands make when slapping down on the game controls.
These slaphouses reportedly originated in Garden Grove, catering to the Vietnamese community who would play them in coffee bars. The machines are designed to switch easily from innocent games like Street Fighter or Pac-Man to potentially illegal ones like poker and blackjack. In 2011, Garden Grove outlawed these games in coffee houses, causing the shift to homes.
Being able to switch from a game of poker to an actual video game makes it easier for the owners of the machines to conduct illegal activity and shut it off if they fear the authorities are about to enter their home. Having the gambling take place in homes also makes it more difficult for law enforcement to discover where the illegal activities are taking place.
Consequences of Illegal Gambling in California (PC 330)
Gambling may seem like a common activity in places like Las Vegas. Your place of business might even bet on March Madness or a fantasy league. However, these slaphouses can make tens of thousands of dollars in one night.
California Penal Code 330 makes it illegal to deal, play, or conduct a prohibited game. Prohibited games are considered “banking games” where a house or bank collects money from losers while paying winners, or “percentage games” where a house or bank collects a portion of total bets or winnings.
Violating PC 330 by illegally gambling is a misdemeanor in California. If convicted, you could face up to six months in county jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
Under PC 337a, a slaphouse owner could be convicted of bookmaking because he or she owns the home where money is being collected and distributed. If you are convicted of bookmaking, you face up to 364 days in county jail and a fine of up to $15,000.
If the owners of these slaphouses were using these gaming machines to play casual games of Street Fighter or even poker, they would not be in violation of the law because there is no house taking or distributing money. But because illegal forms of gambling occur at these homes, the risks and penalties for violating the law become greater.
Contact the Criminal Defense Attorneys at Wallin & Klarich
Are you concerned about whether or not your gambling activities are violating the law? You should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately.

Woman involved in head-on car crash with Mogaila still in coma
Family hasn't told her of daughter's passing
A family of a woman who lost her daughter during a car crash with a Sekhukhune United soccer player, Shaune Mogaila, says she is still in a coma while the 13-year-old neighbour who was travelling with them recently has undergone surgery to install metal implants in his broken legs.
The family also said Keo Mavimbela – who was driving her Hyundai i10 when Mogaila's BMW smashed into it – is still in the dark about the passing of her nine-year-old daughter Gomolemo.
“She's getting better, but her condition does not allow us to tell her about the death of our daughter [as] she's still unconscious,” said Tshepo Kekana, Mavimbela's husband and Gomolemo's father.
The crash happened on the morning of October 30 before 7am. At the time, Mavimbela was driving Gomolemo and their 13-year-old neighbour to school.
Mogaila's vehicle appeared from the opposite direction at high speed, jumped over the barrier and crashed into them head-on. Gomolemo died on the scene.
Mogaila fled the scene but later handed himself over to the police where he was charged with culpable homicide, reckless and negligent driving and fleeing the scene of an accident. He appeared in court on Friday and was released on a R20,000 bail.
Kekana had told Sowetan last week that the soccer player's family got in touch with him and stated that they would love to come and apologise to the family for their relative's actions.
“We haven't heard from the Mogaila family since they promised to come see us,” Kekana said on Monday.
The family of the 13-year-old neighbour said they were told that their son may regain consciousness on Thursday but he was still heavily medicated.

Have you decided to do your EMS training at SpaceGym and work with us on the path to your sporting goals? We offer you three tariff options that make your personal training affordable. There is definitely the right tariff for you. We have further information about EMS training for you here.
Buy EMS cloths | Rent EMS cloths |
฿ 2.500,00 | ฿ 200,00 |
Membership fee for Card and use Inbody: ฿ 3.000,00
Through EMS training, 90% of the skeletal muscles are activated in a very short time. This results in a variety of benefits that can arise from regular training. Here is a selection:
(Regular training is required)
As with any other physical stress, EMS training directly addresses the cardiovascular system. Increasing heart rate and blood pressure increases energy consumption throughout the body.
The EMS impulse only affects the striated muscles of the active musculoskeletal system. This is tensed individually depending on the set impulse strength. The strength of the impulse is adjusted precisely to give you the most effective training possible. Your body composition is the basis for strength training here.
The intensive strain on the muscles during training leads to targeted adaptation reactions. Since almost 90% of the total skeletal muscles are activated with each impulse, intermuscular coordination improves. In addition, the muscle cross-section increases (so-called hypertrophy).
It is the striated muscles that are addressed by the EMS pulse. All other elements of the active and passive musculoskeletal system are also passively addressed by the contraction of the muscles.

The editors of both websites believe this article has application for Speech Language Pathologists and is offered here for educational and academic purposes.
Editor's Note - Professional Coding: Parts 1, 2 and 3 were originally written and published as separate, concise articles. For CEU purposes, we have combined the original three articles, learning outcomes and examinations, into one larger, comprehensive document. Thanks, ---Editor
Professional Coding: Part One - Clinical Coding: CPT
In response to requests for information on procedural and diagnostic coding, I am writing the first of a multi-part series.
This first section will address CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) coding. Part Two will focus on ICD-9 diagnosis coding. Part Three will deal with V-codes, HCPCS, and the new CPT-5 and ICD-10 codes.
CPT codes are copyrighted and owned by the American Medical Association. These codes were established in the mid-1960s. The first CPT manual was published in 1983. The codes were written by physicians for physicians with no consideration of non-physician health care professionals. They were established as a first step toward standardizing health care terminology and to provide a means of objectively tracking services rendered.
As those of us who were in practice in 1983 will recall, if someone had asked you what your facility called a basic evaluation, the responses would be ''Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation'', ''Basic audiological evaluation'', ''Audiological assessment'', ''Basic evaluation'', ''Comprehensive evaluation'', and so forth. The point is, there were as many descriptors as there were clinics. Insurance companies had no standardized gauge by which to judge the value of our services. As a result, the AMA established a formal editorial panel to examine all medical procedures (of which speech, language, and hearing services were included). The AMA solicited input from various specialty disciplines. The section of the manual that covers what we do collectively is known as ''Special Otolaryngology Procedures''.
During the decade of the 1980s, the cost of health care skyrocketed. There were various reasons for this, perhaps the most famous of these was ''physician greed''. Without a doubt, that was a contributing factor, but I submit it was a relatively small part of the entire picture. Another part of the picture was ''Managed Health Care,'' which too, established a foothold in the 1980s. The first appearance of managed health care was in the form of HMOs and then various forms evolved. Several of the first HMOs were established by physician groups. The first HMOs were ''prepaid'' plans through which health care could be provided in a more cost effective manner. These prepaid plans quickly evolved into managed care plans as indemnity insurance companies became part of the picture. Also of note, through the 1970s and into the 1980s, insurance companies started to sell individual policies to single persons or to families. Employer supplied health insurance existed but was not necessarily the predominant factor in non-union situations.

And you should obviously be either!
I remember a Chinese lady a while ago (I can’t remember her name, but it starts with “B”) and she deleted a person off her list once.
After asking him for a “red packet” out of the blue (“red packet” is basically how WeChat handles users sending money to each other etc).
To be fair, and I saw the conversation, the guy hadn’t really done anything to deserve being asked for money out of the blue!
Much like a certain Madam Vicky did to me, but Princess Sophia came to my rescue, and she was right!
No Princess came to his though, hehe.
And she probably wouldn’t have, because the guy was not just BORING. He had a bad VIBE to him.
Dont know about his dick, and if he had a dicklet. He probably did! But that was probably NOT – I repeat, NOT the reason behind her deleting him …
I mean really, guys.
Girls asking you for money is NORMAL.
And if you can’t give her money then, make yourself useful, boy!
Make yours interesting!
Help her our business wise!
Or simply, and many of you are not in the position to do this (and I get it – hey – I’v ebeen there) – make yourself INTERESTING!
And the last bit is BY FAR the most important.
And the most attractive in any sort of relationship, vanilla or not, and the majority of pink (pin, hehe) dicks out there FAIL miserably at it, and why they are told on HOW to do it, they either rant at women, or say “how dare you” to the guys that TELL them and TEACH them how to do it.
Yours truly cucked has a large big dick, yes.
And not seeing the head, like Madam Ashley demanded, has never been an issue. She sucked it anyway, and I didnt beg her to!
And thats not what even guys with sexy cocks etc experience on a daily basis.
Those stories are told in the book on attracting dominant ladies to you like moths to a flame …
Princess Dani, and many others love ’em!
Especially the last bit of the book, hehe.
If your thoughts upon reading this are “Oh God, I’m being sold”, or “how dare he sell! I want it for free”, then, well, Bye bye. Buh bye, hehe.
But if you’re one of the smart ones that realizes when he NEEDS To learn, then go right HERE.
(no, it isn’t free, and it never will be).
PS – My emails prior to this caused quite a flurry and people sending me angry flames. How dare I call out the pin dicks and cocklet owners for what they are – frustrated at NOT being able to get women – with a capital F, while yours truly sits in his “man cave” and attracts not just women, but MONEEEYYYYY – and we all know women love that, hehe – on AUTO PILOT!)
Funny part, I dont even give most women money, and when I do, they dont want it!
Actually, I DO give them a lot of money I should say. But like with perfect Princess Joanie, thats not the main thing.
Ah, if only the porn nuts and wankers out there would get what ladies really want, hehe. And it ain’t money!

Is it time to rethink hurricane categories?
ROB SCHMITZ, HOST:
Within the span of two weeks, two hurricanes, Helene and Milton, rocked the Southeastern United States. Both storms were categorized as major hurricanes - that's a Category 3 or higher. And those categories, they're known as the Saffir-Simpson scale, likely saved many lives by warning of the potential dangers of the storm, but some say that scale falls short. Alec Luhn is a climate journalist who's reported on this. He says the scale accounts for wind speed but misses one key danger.
ALEC LUHN: Hurricanes are bringing more water our way, and water is actually the real killer when it comes to hurricanes, not wind speed. So a growing number of meteorologists are calling for a different way of categorizing and quantifying the destructiveness of a hurricane as we get these bigger, wetter hurricanes dumping a lot of rainfall and causing a big storm surge, which is a mass of seawater that's coming up onto the coast or in some cases, like Hurricane Milton, generating many tornadoes all around the hurricane, far from the eye of the storm.
SCHMITZ: That's interesting. You know, you mentioned water as an additional threat other than wind. You know, is there a consensus about what scientists should include, like water, in an updated scale for hurricanes?
LUHN: So the great power of the Saffir-Simpson scale is it's so simple and evocative. You hear Category 5 - 5 out of 5 - you know it's going to be big. It sounds big...
LUHN: ...And bad, and that's what's great about it. You don't need to know too much about hurricanes to really understand that. So how do we keep that simplicity and convey that to people so easily, but also maybe give them a better sense of the destructiveness? One idea is to categorize hurricanes the same way, Categories 1 through 5, but based on sea level pressure rather than wind speed because a hurricane forms in an area of low pressure. So the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. And that has an advantage over wind speed because it would gather those other kinds of storms that are destructive despite having lower wind speeds, right? In other words, that scale could amp up the number of the hurricane that was slower but still packed a bigger punch and put it on the same level as a small, tight hurricane that has high wind speed. So that's one idea is to base it on sea level pressure.
There's also an idea about doing a category system based on rainfall, Categories 1 through 5 based on how likely it is that the rainfall will be that many more times deadlier than what you're used to. So in other words, a Category 3 would be three times as much rainfall as you would expect to see in an area in a five-year period.
Basically, long story short, there's many ideas how to do this. But so far, it's been hard to switch because Americans, everyone knows that Saffir-Simpson scale. Everyone understands hurricane Category 1 through 5.
SCHMITZ: You know, this brings up a bigger question also about climate change. You know, we know that warmer oceans are making storms more intense, wetter. What's the likelihood that you think we'll see a different type of warning system as we experience more intense hurricanes, thanks to climate change?
LUHN: I don't think it's very likely we're going to switch away from the Saffir-Simpson scale anytime soon. While meteorologists can all point out its shortcomings, it conveys to people danger even if they know nothing almost about hurricanes. What I think some people are saying is that we need to try and educate the public and get them to think beyond just the scale and think about impacts of hurricanes and think about local impacts of hurricanes - right? - because if you live in a low-lying area near the coast, storm surge could be very, very deadly for you, much more deadly than wind speed or rainfall. If you live in an area inland with - that maybe doesn't see all that much rain usually or doesn't have a great drainage system, then you may be at risk for extreme rainfall. What is the thing that a hurricane could bring to your community that could make it deadly?
SCHMITZ: That's Alec Luhn. He's a climate journalist, and you can read his reporting on the Saffir-Simpson scale in WIRED magazine. Alec, thank you.
LUHN: Thanks. My pleasure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Despite home runs by J.P. Crawford and Daniel Vogelbach, the Mariners suffered their first loss to the host Detroit Tigers in six games this season, dropping a 3-2 decision Wednesday night.
The Tigers took a 3-0 lead against M’s left-hander Marco Gonzales (12-10) in the opening three innings.
Crawford homered in the fourth and Vogelbach went deep in the fifth, both off right-hander Edwin Jackson (3-5), but that was all the offense the M’s were able to muster.
Gonzales, the former Gonzaga University standout, allowed three runs on 11 hits in six innings, with one walk and six strikeouts.
OF Mitch Haniger went 1 for 4 with an RBI double as the designated hitter in his first rehabilitation game for Class A Modesto on Tuesday as he returns from surgery for a ruptured testicle. Haniger was scheduled to play in the outfield for the first time Wednesday, with fellow OF Braden Bishop (lacerated spleen) set to DH for the Nuts in his first rehab game.
By the numbers
29: Combined home runs by M’s catchers Omar Narvaez (17) and Tom Murphy (12) this season, breaking the franchise record of 28 for the position set in 2017.
Our take from Right Field
A baserunning blunder cost the M’s a chance to tie the score in the seventh inning. They had runners at first and second with two outs and Crawford, who homered earlier, at the plate. But Mallex Smith got caught off first by catcher John Hicks after a pitch was thrown, ending the inning. Sure, there are going to be frustrating times with young players getting acclimated to the major leagues, but mental mistakes like that shouldn’t happen at any level of pro ball.
The M’s conclude their three-game series in the Motor City at 10:10 a.m. Thursday at Comerica Park. LHP Tommy Milone (1-7, 4.70 ERA) will follow an opener and take on Tigers RHP Spencer Turnbull (3-10, 3.68).

Tina Charles thought her remarkable WNBA journey might have ended when she sat out last season. However, not only is she back this year, but on Wednesday night, she made history by moving into second place on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list, just behind Phoenix Mercury’s Diana Taurasi.
In a game that saw the Atlanta Dream claim their third consecutive victory since the Olympic break, Charles contributed 12 points and pulled down 17 rebounds, leading the team to a 72-63 win over the Phoenix Mercury in College Park, Georgia.
Reflecting on her achievement, Charles expressed deep gratitude, crediting her faith and the Dream’s unwavering belief in her. “It’s really special to be where I am now, considering where I was last year,” she shared. “I genuinely thought my playing days were over, so being here today is something I cherish.”
With this milestone, Charles surpassed Hall of Famer Tina Thompson, who had 7,488 career points, now holding 7,491 points across her 13 WNBA seasons. Taurasi, currently at 10,500 points after 20 seasons, remains the top scorer. Both Charles and Taurasi share a legacy as former UConn stars and USA Basketball teammates in three Olympic Games, and they were briefly WNBA teammates with the Mercury in 2022.
“It’s unimaginable to even be mentioned in the same breath as Diana,” Charles said, reflecting on their shared history on and off the court.
In addition to her scoring milestone, Charles now has 184 career double-doubles, ranking second in WNBA history and just 10 away from breaking retired center Sylvia Fowles’ record of 193. Charles’ 3,876 rebounds also place her second behind Fowles’ record of 4,006.
Despite missing the 2020 season due to a medical exemption during the COVID-19 pandemic and not playing in 2023, Charles continues to leave her mark on the league. Dream coach Tanisha Wright, a former teammate of Charles during their time with the New York Liberty, and general manager Dan Padover saw her potential and signed her as a free agent in February, believing she still had much to contribute at 35 years old.
The Dream, plagued by injuries, had struggled into the Olympic break with an eight-game losing streak, dropping to a 7-17 record. However, with key players like 3×3 Olympic bronze medalist Rhyne Howard and Jordin Canada back in the lineup, Atlanta now sits at 10-17, just one game behind the Chicago Sky for the final playoff spot.
“Consistency is the hallmark of great teams,” Charles remarked. “Tonight, we were consistent in our defense, offense, ball movement, and celebrating each other.”
When asked how she might celebrate her latest achievement, Charles initially shrugged it off. However, Coach Wright chimed in, suggesting, “She’s definitely going to have a beer tonight, relax in her hammock, and listen to some Caribbean music.”
Charles couldn’t help but agree. “Yeah, that’s true,” she said with a smile. “But honestly, I think I’ll appreciate it more when I’m finally done playing. Right now, I’m just grateful to be surrounded by such an incredible group of women. Watching the growth of Allisha Gray, being alongside Rhyne Howard, and making a difference in their careers—that’s what truly matters to me at this stage.”

The latest example came Wednesday against the AL-East-leading Baltimore Orioles. Gausman held the Orioles to just two runs — while striking out eight — over six innings but the Blue Jays could only muster five singles in a 7-0 loss.
“We’re just waiting for that big stretch. We’ve kind of been waiting for that all year. Is it going to happen? I don’t know,” Gausman said after the game. “I hope it does. I hope it starts tomorrow, but we can’t keep sitting back and waiting on that. We’ve got to go now and we need a little bit more sense of urgency.”
The loss was the eighth time the Blue Jays have been shut down since June 19, the most in MLB. Three of those eight shutouts have come with Gausman on the mound and the American League strikeout leader has received the lowest run support of any starter in baseball this season.
Starting Pitcher | Run Support Per Start |
Kevin Gausman (Blue Jays) | 3.23 |
Logan Webb (Giants) | 3.30 |
Kyle Freeland (Rockies) | 3.49 |
JP Sears (Athletics) | 3.54 |
Miles Mikolas (Cardinals) | 3.60 |
The Blue Jays’ offensive shortcomings this season have been well documented but with the Seattle Mariners recently overtaking Toronto for the final AL wild-card spot, the pressure will only ratchet up entering the final weeks of the season.
“Every game matters,” Gausman said. “You look at not just the AL East but obviously the American (League) wild card, there’s five or six teams within a two or three-game difference. As a player, that’s what you want. You want to be in this spot with a month left with an opportunity to punch a ticket and control your own destiny. We haven’t necessarily played great baseball all year, but we’re in a situation now where we’re right there and we’ve just got to keep going.”
The Blue Jays will have a chance to get back on track Thursday in their final game against the Orioles this season, with Jose Berrios scheduled to make the start.

Over the past few seasons, the Braves have seen young stud after young stud come up through their farm system, leading to three straight NL East titles. Most recently, Ian Anderson announced himself to the world, posting a sub-2 ERA during the shortened season before being even better during the Braves postseason run. Amazingly, he is still considered a prospect, along with Cristian Pache, who started the entire NLCS after Adam Duvall went down with an injury. Both look to be penciled in as starters to begin next season, especially after the Braves decided to non-tender Duvall. However, who else could be ready to make an impact at the major league level as early as 2021.
Currently, MLB.com has Waters ranked as the second-best prospect in the Braves system — ahead of Ian Anderson. That shows you just how much scouts believe in this young man’s potential. As a 20-year-old, he won the MVP of the Southern League, slashing .319/.366/.481. Waters is a switch-hitter with a tremendous ability to hit the ball to all fields, and as he fills out, his power should only become more evident. Unfortunately, this past minor league season was canceled. Waters would have started the year in AAA with a legit opportunity to work his way to the majors. We will see how much he improved at the alternate training site, but there is a fantastic chance that he finds himself in Atlanta sometime next year.
The Contreras hype-train began when he was tattooing balls in exhibition games at the alternate training start before the season. However, few expected him to have an impact on the major league team, especially so early in the season. But after Travis d’Arnaud and Tyler Flowers were sidelined with symptoms of the coronavirus, the Braves had no choice but to turn to Conteras, and he delivered, going four for ten at the plate.
Contreras has still yet to even record an at-bat at the AAA level, so I doubt the plan is for the Braves to give him a chance at the majors early next season. However, if he continues to show offensive improvement with the Stripers, it shouldn’t be long before he is in Atlanta permanently.
The reports coming out of the alternate training site last season were that Muller was touching triple-digits with his fastball. The hard-throwing lefty is currently ranked the sixth-best prospect in the Braves system and posted a respectable 3.14 ERA in 2019 with AA Mississippi. Muller will likely begin next season in Gwinnett, but if he can show improvements with his control, he will most likely make his MLB debut in 2021 and could end up being a valuable piece down the stretch, whether it is as a starter or reliever.
Davidson made his MLB debut last season in the final series of the season against the Red Sox. He allowed a couple of runs over 1.2 innings, but overall, it wasn’t too shabby for his first appearance in the majors. The lefty shot up prospect lists everywhere during the 2019 season in which he posted a minuscule 2.03 ERA with Mississippi in 21 starts before being promoted to Gwinnett, where he recorded a 2.84 ERA in four starts. It shouldn’t be very long before we see him in Atlanta permanently.
De La Cruz is one of the less talked about prospects in the Braves system, but he is now ranked as their tenth-best prospect and received the call last season — even though he did not make his debut. I expect that to change in 2021. De La Cruz had a 3.25 ERA over three levels in 2019 (A, A+, AA) and should begin 2021 in Gwinnett. If he can keep his momentum churning forward, we should see him in Atlanta at some point next season.
If not for injuries, Weigel would have found himself in the majors a couple of seasons ago. He finally made his MLB debut last season; however, it’s probably an outing he would like to forget as he allowed two earned runs while recording just two outs. Still, there is a lot of reason for optimism with Weigel. During Spring Training, he was dynamite and has fantastic stuff that could make him useful as a starter or out of the bullpen. Weigel will be competing for one of the final spots on the Opening Day roster.

After my two previous blog posts (the first was about Ndamukong Suh's nasty on the field behavior, the second about the NCAA's refusal to pay college athletes a fair wage), one would think I am full of sour grapes and rotten tomatoes. I am here this week to say, that's just not so.
There are good guys and bad guys, it's just the way it is and while some deserve the right to wear their team's uniform day in and day out, others should be forced to hang them up. But my feelings are sometimes mine alone. After my diatribe about Suh, one Facebook follower commented: "you sir are an idiot". Well at least he called me, "sir".
So as we wrap up week 4 of the 2013 NFL season I thought it would be both fitting and worthwhile to explore the idea of "good", as in "Good Dead", or "Good Guy". At the end of the day, isn't that what we all want? A team filled with great men or women or kids, who play fairly, become great at their game using their god given skills and drive the level of competition to new heights. Look, I understand that every narrative needs a villain, and yes, guys like Suh play that role very well, but is it so bad to root for the good guys? Like a guy named JJ Watt?
I was flying back from Chicago this past week, falling in and out of a dream state as the pressurized cabin brought my oxygen level down just enough to ease me into a dull dream about work, customers, my family and schedule. I was flying JetBlue, the world's best airline, and I of course had my headphones in. The TV was tuned to ESPN when they started to run a midday piece on JJ Watt. I must admit I didn't know as much as I feel I should have about Mr. Watt; like the fact that when he was drafted 11th overall in 2011 by the Texans the fans booed the choice. During his first season, he was commonly booed and taunted by the home crowd as they displayed their dislike for Watt and their desire for him to be traded.
So what does Watt do? Does he hand in his uniform? Does he hide his head in shame and accept the fate his new hometown fans have handed him? Or does JJ Watt rise above the crowd, ignore the noise and focus on what he can really control: his ability to make great plays, to out-work and out hustle the other guys on the field and to win the hearts and minds of fans both in his community as well as within the broader NFL?
If you guessed overcoming his obstacles and moving to greatness, then you guessed correctly. Despite the crowds hissing at him during home games, Watt finished his first two seasons with a total 137 tackles and in 2012 became the first NFL player in history to record 16.5 sacks and 15 tipped passes in a single season. On the way to this performance, he was affectionately nicknamed "J.J. Swatt" for his game-breaking ability to swat passes down at the line of scrimmage. JJ Watt overcame his personal obstacles and won the hearts and minds of his hometown fans, but he didn't do it just playing football.
JJ also has a heart as powerful as the hits he puts on slow- and fast-moving quarterbacks alike. When he heard that a young local fan was recovering from cancer and couldn't attend classes with the rest of his peers, Watt surprised the young fan with a day long visit. In doing so, he established the trust that professional players should look to earn between fans, kids and their parents.
Did Watt get a ton of positive PR exposure from the charitable act, sure. Were the cameras there ready to video the event to be broadcasted for the whole world to see? Yes. But sitting there on my flight home after a week away from my wife and kids, I felt the power of something that JJ Watt delivered to that young fan. The power of identity, of feeling at home, of being a part of something greater than yourself and the willingness to open your mind and heart about the possibilities of a bigger picture. So go buy his jersey.

There are people specially trained to deal with injuries to the mouth, face, and jaw: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. Their training and experience uniquely qualify them to deal with these types of injuries. These can include a wide range of injuries, from facial cuts and lacerations to more serious problems, like broken teeth and fractured facial bones.
THE SERIOUS SIDE OF FACIAL INJURY
One of the most common types of serious injury to the face occurs when bones are broken. Fractures can involve the lower jaw, upper jaw, palate, cheekbones, eye socket, and combinations of these bones. These injuries can affect sight, and the ability to breathe, speak and swallow. Treatment often requires hospitalization.
The principles of treatment for facial fractures are the same as for a broken arm or leg. The parts of the bone must be lined up (reduced) and held in position long enough to permit them time to heal. This may require six or more weeks depending on the patient’s age and the fracture’s complexity.
When fractures are extensive, multiple incisions to expose the bones and a combination of wiring or plating techniques may be needed. The repositioning technique used by the oral and maxillofacial surgeon depends upon the location and severity of the fracture. In the case of a break of the upper or lower jaw, metal braces may be fastened to the teeth and rubber bands or wires used to hold the jaws together. Patients with few or no teeth may need dentures or specially constructed splints to align and secure the fracture.
What’s more, many individuals who sustain facial fractures have other medical problems and the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon is trained to coordinate his or her treatment with that of other doctors.
During the healing period, when jaws are wired shut, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon prescribes a nutritional diet. This helps the injury heal as quickly as possible by keeping the patient in good health. After discharge from the hospital, the doctor gives the patient instructions dealing with continued facial and oral care.
DON’T TREAT ANY FACIAL INJURY LIGHTLY
Of course, not all facial injuries are extensive. The thing you should remember, though, is that they are all complex. Even in the case of a moderately cut lip, the expertise of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon is indispensable. If sutures are needed, placement must be precise to bring about the desired cosmetic result. So a good rule of thumb is that you shouldn’t take any facial injury lightly. Not only that, but facial injuries are in a critical area of the body. After all, the functions of breathing, eating, speaking and seeing are located there.
PREVENTION-THE BEST POLICY
Because avoiding injury is always best, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a staunch advocate of the use of automobile seat belts. For the same reason, the use of protective mouth guards, and appropriate masks and helmets for athletes is recommended. The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon maintains a constant vigilance, warning the public of hidden everyday hazards to their health.
Now, as always, your Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon’s concern is not just with oral health, but extends to the total health of the individual.

This week we continue to explore the world of Ancient Greek Gods.
The activity booklet contains more work than is needed for one week and will be broken down into smaller sections and used over the next few weeks.
The first 6 pages of the activity booklet give information about the 12 major Olympian gods. Children first read and discuss these Greek Gods Information Cards. This week's activity requires them to make their own information booklet about the 12 Olympian Gods. They can use the template on pages 12-14 of the booklet if they wish or they could produce their own booklet design. They could use ICT - Book Creator/ Pic Collage / iMovie / keynote etc. Be creative! We just require a fact file that provides information about the different Gods.
The video link at the bottom of the page may also prove useful.

- AlexVerified BuyerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars4/22/22Like laying in a cloud
I 10/10 would recommend this to anyone looking for a big, comfy, down filled furniture. I purchased 2 pieces of the Modular Movie Night, as well as the Move Night Sofa in the same colour and love them all.
If you are looking for a big, comfy, down filled sofa that feels like a cloud, where you can grab a fuzzy blanky and snuggle up in with your cats, watch movies and nap the day away then The Movie Night furniture is for you. Everything about it is perfect.
The modular pieces are quite large and substantial, but the lower profile means they aren't overwhelming. The colour is a pure white but it’s not stark and is still soft on the eyes. Because it is down filled it has a big, soft, fluffy appearance, so long as you fluff the cushions regularly.
This furniture looks inviting but when you actually sit down it feels like a CLOUD. it is very wide, wide enough for more than 1 person. The fabric itself is soft on the skin and you just melt into the down filled cushions and it hugs, caresses and envelopes you in pure comfort. It has that soft, subtle down smell to it which for me adds to the comfort and calming feeling.
Even though it is large, it is lightweight and easy to move. The down cushions require some fluffing and smoothing to maintain the fluffy, cloudy appearance. I really enjoy fluffing the cushions and I do it every time after I’m done sitting on it – It feels like I am returning the love and restorative energy that the sofa has given to me when I fluff it :)

So far so good, it is an affordable and great looking alternative to the RH Could sofa. One small annoyance is that the bottom of the couch requires some anti slip application as it is pretty lightweight and flying around our hardwood floors like crazy. To improve the design next time the designers might consider some anti-slip feet on the couch like some other furniture companies offer. Thanks.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 is a smartphone that comes with a USB Type-C port that can charge your phone quickly and transfer data efficiently, smartphone that was launched in August 2020. However, this port may not work properly for some Samsung Galaxy Note 20 users, who have faced issues such as loose connection, intermittent charging, or no charging at all.
These issues may be caused by a design flaw in the port, which makes it wider than the USB input and lacks support. This makes the USB cable unstable or disconnected from the port. If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 with a faulty charging port, you have some options to fix it.
⚡How to charge a Samsung Note 20 with damage charging port
The charging port is a critical component of a smartphone, including the Samsung Note 20. However, accidents happen, and the port may get damaged, rendering it unusable. In this blog post, we will explore the charging port mechanism of the Samsung Note 20, how it can be affected by damage, alternative charging methods, and practical tips to prevent port damage and extend the lifespan of your device.
📌The Charging Port Mechanism of Samsung Note 20
The Samsung Note 20 features a USB Type-C charging port, which is a common standard across many modern smartphones. This port allows for both charging and data transfer. The charging process involves the transfer of electrical energy from the power source to the phone's battery.
The USB Type-C port has a number of advantages, including faster charging speeds, improved durability, and reversible plug orientation, allowing for easier connection. However, it is not immune to damage, which can result from physical trauma, liquid exposure, dirt, or wear and tear.
💥Effect of Port Damage on Charging
If the charging port of your Samsung Note 20 is damaged, it can hinder or completely prevent the device from charging. Common issues caused by port damage include loose connections, intermittent charging, or a completely non-functional port.
When the port is damaged, it may not be able to establish a proper electrical connection with the charger, resulting in inconsistent or no charging. Furthermore, physical damage to the internal components of the port can cause short circuits or excessive heat, posing a risk to the device.
Alternative Charging Methods for Samsung Note 20:
While the primary method of charging a Samsung Note 20 is through its USB Type-C port, there are alternative charging methods available in case the port is damaged:
1. Wireless Charging: The Samsung Note 20 supports wireless charging using the Qi standard. To charge wirelessly, you need a compatible wireless charger. Simply place your device on the charging pad to initiate the charging process. However, it is important to note that wireless charging can be slower than using a cable.
2. Battery Pack: Another option is to use an external battery pack or power bank. These portable devices come equipped with USB ports or wireless charging capabilities, allowing you to charge your Samsung Note 20 without relying on the damaged port.
📌Preventing Port Damage and Extending Lifespan
To prevent port damage and extend the overall lifespan of your Samsung Note 20, consider the following tips:
1. Handle with Care: Avoid dropping or subjecting your device to unnecessary physical stress. Be mindful of the charging cable while it is connected to prevent accidental tugs or trips.
2. Keep it Clean: Regularly clean the charging port with a soft brush or compressed air to remove any debris or dust that may accumulate over time. This prevents potential connection issues caused by dirt buildup.
3. Avoid Liquid Exposure: Liquid damage can be harmful to the charger port. Keep your device away from water, spills, and other sources of moisture.
4. Invest in Quality Cables and Chargers: Use certified cables and chargers from reputable manufacturers that are compatible with your Samsung Note 20. Inferior or non-compliant accessories may not provide proper voltage regulation, potentially damaging the port.
When the charging port of your Samsung Note 20 is damaged, it can pose a significant inconvenience. However, there are alternative methods available to ensure that you can continue charging your device. Wireless charging and battery packs offer viable solutions when the port is unusable.
Taking preventative measures, such as handling the device with care, keeping the port clean, and using quality accessories, can help extend the lifespan of your Samsung Note 20 and reduce the risk of port damage. Remember to consult the official Samsung documentation or seek expert opinions if you encounter any issues or require further guidance.

- Start Forex Trading
- Forex for Beginners
- Maximize Gains by Currency Exchange
Forex trading is a great way to increase the value of your money. Unlike the stock exchange, you exchange foreign currencies. Though it may seem complicated at first as the broker fees, the bid price and the asking price may seem a little off, Forex trading is easy to get started with.
Just like any other form of investment and trading, there are a couple of terms that you should know beforehand. If you’re living in the United States, the base currency for you is going to be the U.S. dollar. That’s of course unless you have something else you want to trade but for the sake of this post, we’ll take the U.S. dollar as our base currency.
Now that you know what base currency is, the most basic of Forex trading, let’s move on to other things.
Forex Trading Terms (Jargon)
Other than the base currency which the currency you have, the currency you want to buy is the quote currency.
The ask price is the price that your broker will ask you for in exchange for buying the quote currency. Since the broker will take his or her part from this, it’s always going to be higher than the bid price.
The bid price is the price that you can sell your base currency to a broker. This is also referred to as buy price.
There is always going to be a difference in buy price and ask price. With that being said, the difference between the two is the spread. This is basically the commission that the broker gets.
All of these terms are also known as trading jargon and lingo. The terms listed above are the most basic of the trading jargon. As you begin trading and spare more time to it, we recommend reading a couple of books about trading jargon to feel more comfortable with your trades.
Where to trade?
You’ll need to choose a forex trading platform or a brokerage firm to begin making trades. Not all brokerage firms offer forex trading. So make sure that the brokerage firms you want to trade on offer this option to you.
Choosing the right forex trading platform makes the biggest difference. If you trade on a platform where the bid and the ask price is vast, you’ll not be making enough profits. Instead, you’ll lose money because of the spread.
So it is important to choose the right broker according to your needs. Also, choosing a brokerage firm that offers multiple outlets for customer service should be your goal. This is the best kind of brokerage firms for beginners.
Best Forex Trader in the United States
We highly recommend forex.com for beginners. It is the biggest forex broker in the country and you can reduce your costs with cash rebates. The overall fees are very low compared to most other forex trading platforms. You can convert the quote currency to your base currency for lower than 0.5%.
This is especially good for beginners because regardless of your experience in finance, we recommend not buying quote currencies that are worth more than $5,000. If you start small, things may turn out very large in the future. So take your time and get used to how forex trading works before investing your savings in forex trading.
When should you convert to base currency?
Let’s assume you exchanged your $1,000 worth of U.S. dollar to the “x” currency. You still have $1,000 but if we subtract the broker’s commission, you now have about $995. Once the currency you bought (quote) reaches the peak point, you must convert your quote currency back to the base currency.
This way, you might have $1,100 and for that day, the profit you make will be $100 and so on. To make as many profits as you can, you’ll have to have a good understanding of the world economy. So make your research wisely and buy quote currencies that you see a potential in.

BIOS on your notebook has many functions to perform, and can cause you various problems if goes corrupted. For example, your notebook can display an error message of BIOS application error 501, or stops at a blank screen. Moreover, it doesn’t allow you to enter any of the options available at startup like hardware diagnostic tools, or The BIOS Setup Utility. In some cases, corrupted BIOS can cause the computer fail to start the operating system or emit beep codes. Another symptom that shows that your notebook BIOS have become corrupted is that the notebook still turns on and the fan spins but there’s no video on the external monitor or the internal display. Any of these symptoms can stop the computer from operating the computer, and requires you to repair the BIOS.
- Almost all HP notebooks come with an emergency BIOS recovery feature that is used to pull through and install the last known version of BIOS from the hard drive of the notebook. However, it can only work as long as the hard disk is functional. This emergency feature is designed to recover the catastrophic BIOS.
- In case if the hard disk partition is inaccessible or no longer exists, you should attempt to download a replacement BIOS file. This option can also be helpful if the emergency BIOS recovery method fails to resolve the problem. In order to use this method, you will need another computer that is not only in working condition but also has an active and fast internet connection. Just go to the HP website and jump into its software and drivers download page. Now type your notebook model number in the HP product name. Make sure you choose the correct detected operating system for your model in the search results. Now click BIOS and then click Details. Next step will be to click Download button available beside the BIOS update file, and save the file to the computer. Here, it is critical to note down the location where you have saved the file to ensure its safe use.
- Another way to restore your notebook BIOS is to use HP BIOS Update and Recovery in order to make a BIOS recovery flash drive. A blank USB flash drive is usually required to complete this step. However, this flash drive doesn’t need to be bootable. Connect this drive to a functional computer and navigate to the BIOS file that you have already downloaded and saved from HP site, and make a click on it twice. This may also display a user control window requiring you to click Yes to proceed. The Install Shield Wizard will open. Just follow the wizard steps to create the recovery files and copy them on your flash drive. Now use the recovery flash drive in addition to the HP Emergency BIOS Recovery feature to repair the BIOS.
- Follow the wizard to restore the BIOS. This will eventually come up with the HP BIOS Update Screen, and will lead to BIOS update begin automatically. However, the process takes a few minutes so wait for it to be complete. Now click Continue startup for prompting the HP notebook to restart without more ado or you can also let the notebook restart when the timer finishes. You now can start the operating system or jump to BIOS menu.

In recent years, the female protagonist has emerged as a powerful force in literature, film, television, and video games. This shift reflects broader societal changes and has profound implications for storytelling and representation. This article explores the evolution of the female protagonist, the significance of her presence in media, and the impact on audiences and creators alike.
The Evolution of the Female Protagonist
Historically, female characters in media often played secondary roles, serving as love interests, damsels in distress, or supporting characters. However, the late 20th and early 21st centuries have seen a significant shift towards more complex and empowered female protagonists.
- Literature: Classic literature introduced strong female leads such as Elizabeth Bennet from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Jo March from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. These characters broke away from traditional gender roles and paved the way for modern heroines.
- Film and Television: The film industry has gradually embraced female protagonists, from Ripley in Alien (1979) to Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games series. Television has also seen a rise in female-led shows, with characters like Buffy Summers in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones.
- Video Games: The video game industry, traditionally male-dominated, has increasingly featured strong female protagonists. Iconic characters like Lara Croft from Tomb Raider and Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn have become symbols of empowerment and skill.
Significance of Female Protagonists
The inclusion of female protagonists is not just a matter of representation; it brings depth and diversity to storytelling. Here are several key reasons why female protagonists are significant:
- Representation and Empowerment: Female protagonists provide representation for women and girls, allowing them to see themselves reflected in various roles and narratives. This can be empowering and inspire confidence and ambition.
- Breaking Stereotypes: By portraying women in diverse and complex roles, media can challenge and break down gender stereotypes. Female protagonists are often depicted as strong, intelligent, and capable, countering traditional notions of female weakness or dependency.
- Broader Appeal: Stories with well-developed female protagonists can appeal to a wider audience. Both men and women can enjoy and relate to these characters, making the media more inclusive and accessible.
- Cultural Shift: The rise of female protagonists reflects and contributes to a broader cultural shift towards gender equality. It signals progress and encourages further advancements in various sectors of society.
Impact on Audiences and Creators
The impact of female protagonists extends beyond representation; it influences both audiences and creators in meaningful ways.
- Audiences: For audiences, particularly young women and girls, seeing female protagonists in powerful roles can be incredibly inspiring. It can encourage them to pursue their dreams, break barriers, and challenge societal expectations. For all viewers, these characters add richness and variety to storytelling, making narratives more engaging and relatable.
- Creators: For writers, filmmakers, and game developers, creating female protagonists can be a rewarding and enriching experience. It allows them to explore different perspectives and contribute to the ongoing conversation about gender and equality. Additionally, the success of female-led stories can open up more opportunities for creators to experiment with diverse characters and narratives.
Examples of Iconic Female Protagonists
- Hermione Granger (Harry Potter Series): Hermione is celebrated for her intelligence, bravery, and loyalty. She breaks the mold of the traditional female sidekick, often driving the plot forward with her knowledge and resourcefulness.
- Furiosa (Mad Max: Fury Road): Furiosa is a warrior and leader who embodies strength, resilience, and determination. Her character challenges traditional gender roles and highlights the importance of female agency.
- Ellie (The Last of Us Series): In a post-apocalyptic world, Ellie is a survivor and fighter. Her complex character development and emotional depth make her a standout protagonist in the video game industry.
- Rey (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy): Rey’s journey from a scavenger to a Jedi symbolizes empowerment and self-discovery. Her character represents hope and the breaking of traditional molds within the Star Wars universe.
The rise of the female protagonist marks a significant and positive shift in modern media. By providing representation, breaking stereotypes, and appealing to broader audiences, female protagonists enrich storytelling and reflect the progress towards gender equality. As society continues to evolve, the presence of strong, diverse female leads in literature, film, television, and video games will undoubtedly inspire future generations and shape the narratives of tomorrow.

The Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Pantovasilissa in Rafina, is a significant Orthodox Christian temple, built in memory of the original Byzantine church of the same name that once stood in Triglia, Bursa, in present-day Turkey.
The church’s courtyard features a bell tower, 22 meters high, which showed visible signs of erosion and decay on both the facades as well as the marbles of its balcony. Our task was to repair the plaster and cracks, as well as to restore or replace the damaged marbles. A small-scale building permit was issued, whereas scaffolding was installed all around the bell tower. All restoration and painting works were carried out under the supervision of TektInn.
Given the historical nature and importance of the building, special attention was paid to safety and work methodology, in order to ensure minimal disruption, since the church continued to perform its regular services throughout the tower’s restoration period.
Our team successfully completed another unique project, expanding our experience and technical capabilities.

The Bhawanipur Education Society College inaugurated their event management school, The Bhawanipur School of Event Management, in association with t2, on November 20 at the college campus. The school will run one course at present — Advanced Certificate in Event Management that will provide a thorough learning experience to budding entrepreneurs and wedding planners by training them in skills of event management.
The launch of the course was planned like a big event backed by Eventzinspired, in association with ‘The Big Fat Indian Wedding’ by WeddingSutra.com. Cultural performances by the students of The Bhawanipur Education Society College, followed by the lamp-lighting ceremony in the gracious presence of several distinguished personalities from the hospitality, event management and related professional backgrounds, concluded the event. Highlights:
“With this growing business becoming a topic of discussion, I have realised that so many of us are getting added with each passing year... there are many players but not many coaches. We already have courses dedicated to creating them, then why not start adding value from day one? So, we did research, made the syllabus and looked out for faculties and guest faculties. Today events or weddings are not just limited to 20 per cent of India. The opportunities have grown very big and there are so many businesses in one business of events. So, why not create history by opening the first school exclusively dedicated to this. It is the only event school in India, which is a certified course, has 11 months of detailing, backed by a college and crafted by an event planner,” said Preraana Khuller, dean, The Bhawanipur School of Event Management.
“I think the event management industry and its education is in demand today. There are a lot of events that are happening. The events now are much bigger with higher stakes. Therefore, I think it is time for students to take interest in this. We ourselves do a lot of events and the students get an opportunity. I can see the transformation through their confidence that the students have developed because of taking responsibilities and handling events,” said Dilip Shah, dean, Bhawanipur Education Society College.

Gary Hume, a painter and judge of this year’s BP Portrait Award, has called on London’s National Portrait Gallery to drop the oil company’s sponsorship. The annual exhibition opens on Wednesday.
In a letter to Nicholas Cullinan, the gallery’s director, Hume expresses “discomfort about continuing to have BP as the sponsor of the award”. He says “there might once have been a case for partnering with BP, but it’s clear to me that that moment has passed”. Hume’s concern is that BP is “actively exacerbating” the current climate “crisis”, “with no plan to stop producing massive amounts of fossil fuels for decades to come”.
Hume, who is also a Royal Academician, acknowledges “how difficult fundraising is”, with a squeeze on both public and private sources of funding for the arts”. But in the case of BP, “this is outweighed by the need to act urgently on the climate crisis”. For him, “refusing to launder the oil industry’s image is a step that the art world now needs to take”. Hume concludes that “as a first step”, the gallery should “no longer allow a BP employee to sit on the award’s judging panel”. (For this year’s award, she was Des Violaris, BP’s director for UK Arts & Culture.)
Eight artists who have exhibited in previous years, including Paul Benney, have also sent a letter of protest.
A National Portrait Gallery spokeswoman says that it respects the rights of others to express their views and is grateful to the judges of this year’s BP Portrait Award. Although a third of the gallery’s income comes from government grant-in-aid, it works with “a wide range of companies” to help fund exhibitions and displays. The spokeswoman adds: “The sponsorship of the Portrait Award by BP is now in its 30th year. This support directly encourages the work of talented artists and helps gain wider recognition for them and enables free admission for the public.”
A BP spokesperson responds that the company is “taking action” to advance the world’s transition to a low-carbon future: “We are committed to being part of the solution to the climate challenge.”
One option now is for the gallery trustees is to refer BP’s sponsorship of the next year’s award to its recently established ethics committee. Last March this committee recommended that the gallery should not proceed with a promised £1m donation from the Sackler Trust, because of the opioid crisis. The Sackler Trust then announced that it had decided “not to proceed at this time with the donation”.
The gallery’s 2015 Ethical Fundraising Policy states that “we have a responsibility to ensure donations are not accepted from questionable or inappropriate sources”, including where support is deemed to be “in conflict with the objectives and values of the gallery”.
The British Museum has also faced protests from climate campaigners over BP sponsorship.

It takes many volunteers to staff a temple. Each serves selflessly and often; the commitment they show blossoms into a deep love for service in the temple. Among these diligent volunteer servants are the temple sealers, men of considerable experience in the Church. As time passes, however, it becomes necessary for a release from temple service.
"The proper time to release a temple sealer is never an easy decision," said J. Kenneth Webb, former first counselor in the Logan Temple presidency. "My experience is that no sealer looks forward to a release."He said that in 1992, he supervised several sealers who were over 85 years of age. "One had been a giant in my life. He was my elementary school principal, my bishop and my neighbor, Oral Lynn Ballam. I did not want to do anything that would offend this great man." Brother Ballam, the father of the current president of the Logan Temple, Oral L., was 91 years old.
Pres. Webb said that one morning, about an hour before his alarm clock sounded at 4 a.m., he was awakened with a distinct impression that he should release Brother Ballam that very day.
"Needless to say, I didn't go back to sleep. I later shared this experience with temple Pres. Ivan Miller. He replied, `You'd better do it, then.' "
"By mid-morning, I got up the courage to have Brother Ballam's supervisor send him to my office.
"I swallowed hard and said, `Brother Ballam, we're going to extend an honorable release to you as a sealer in the temple.'
"His eyes watered and he began to cry. My worst thoughts came to mind and I felt I had hurt this fine man.
"Moments later he took hold of my hand and said, `President Ken, I have been praying that you would do this today. I haven't felt well, but didn't want to ask to be released.' We embraced and tears flowed."
Pres. Webb said that the sealer bid farewell to his friends, thanked the temple presidency again, and left, grateful his prayer had been answered.
Brother Ballam was shortly taken to the hospital where after a few days, his tired body was released from a long life of diligent service.

As students pursue solutions to a driving question, it is important that they share their work along the way. Gathering feedback from peers, teachers, and other adults provides new and varying perspectives that may reveal unique insights, spot a big issue early on, or open up an overlooked opportunity. Giving and receiving feedback tends to be a prickly situation for many students because it is not a common practice in traditional classrooms; therefore we recommend detailing and modeling productive feedback–particularly feedback that is kind, specific, and helpful. Fortunately there are a wide variety of strategies that encourage a safe space for providing balanced critique of a student’s work.

The alleged gunman suspected of an assassination attempt against Donald Trump was charged with two felonies: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an altered serial number on Monday. While the FBI said they were investigating the shooting incident at the former president’s West Palm Beach golf club on Sunday as an apparent assassination attempt, Ryan Wesley Routh was not slapped with a criminal complaint of attempted assassination or any violent offense.
Possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, a convicted felon in Routh’s case, does still carry a maximum sentence of 15 years. The prison sentence for possessing a firearm with an altered serial number also carries up to 5 years. If found guilty of both charges, Routh, 58, could serve up to 20 years behind bars. Both crimes also carry a potential fine of $250,000.
According to the criminal complaint filed in the Southern District of Florida, Routh allegedly brought a semi-automatic rifle and scope with an “obliterated” serial number to the perimeter of Trump’s golf course grounds. Cell phone records placed Routh in the vicinity of the rifle and other found items on Sunday, where he remained for twelve hours that day undetected by officials.
He was apprehended by law enforcement in a traffic stop after being seen fleeing the suspected sniper’s nest in a Nissan SUV with plates taken from a reportedly stolen truck.
During the arrest, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said they asked Routh if he knew why he was being stopped and he “responded in the affirmative.” Body camera footage shows the suspected gunman remaining silent while being handcuffed on the road, wearing dark sunglasses.
Routh’s felony rap sheet includes multiple convictions in North Carolina. He was first convicted of possessing a weapon of “mass death,” a fully automatic machine gun in 2002 and then was found guilty of multiple counts of possessing stolen goods in 2010.
He has also faced charges of carrying a concealed weapon, hit and run, resisting an officer, and driving with a revoked license. Routh was ultimately convicted of all charges and sentenced to probation, according to North Carolina court records.

Downing Street has denied Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron have reached an agreement to de-escalate their increasingly bitter dispute over post-Brexit fishing rights.
Following a “brush-by” meeting between the two leaders in the margins of the G20 summit in Rome, French officials were reported as saying they had agreed to try to resolve their differences.
However, in a briefing for British journalists, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman made clear the UK did not recognise the claims that there had been an agreement.
“I have seen the same reporting,” the spokesman said.
Remarkable briefing war
In response to today’s events reporter, Joe Mayes wrote: “Breaking: we’ve just seen a remarkable briefing war between France and the U.K. on Brexit.”
We follow his thread, but below Clement Beaune France’s Europe Minister sets out a thread that cuts through the ‘spin’ of the UK government and it is a troubling read.
“After Macron-Johnson meeting at G20, French side say they agreed to pursue solutions to defuse the Brexit fishing spat. But then U.K. officials give wholly different account – they say Johnson told Macron it was for France to withdraw their threats 2/”
“For about 20 minutes – the gap between the French and UK briefings – it appeared we were heading for a truce. But now we’re right back into the spat, with a Tuesday deadline approaching… 3/”
“Tuesday – right as COP summit is beginning! – is when France is threatening to trigger its retaliatory actions over fishing licenses, like disrupting trade and blocking British boats from its ports 4/”
“So it’s gonna be a big 48 hours in the post-Brexit relationship – will either side stand down? Do we get a deal? Or is it going to be tit-for-tat measures? Ends/”
Clement Beaune thread
All the while, we have British and French ministers sparring on Twitter and here Clement Beaune attempts to debunk Lord Frost’s claims over the fisheries row.
He starts with
‘Let’s explain what’s going on on fisheries, beyond spin.’
“Following the Brexit deal (TCA), access was due to be granted within days to EU boats. We have now been negotiating patiently and constructively for 10 months, replying to a series of detailed and additional requests from British authorities, boat by boat.”
“What is the current situation? We do not lack just a few licences, but more than 40% of French detailed requests. For the EU as a whole, around 90% of the expected licences have been granted, but all the missing ones are French.”
“After 10 months, when such a significant amount of licences, targeting one country, is missing, it’s not a technical issue, it’s a political choice and a breach of the TCA. A friend, ally and responsible partner should stand by its world and comply with legal commitments.”
“This is why France asks for action at the EU level, within the framework of the TCA, and stands ready to implement proportionate and reversible measures from November 2nd, as we have announced repeatedly since last April. These measures are fully in line with the TCA.”
“It’s positive to read that the UK cares about the TCA; France and the EU expect its full respect and implementation, regarding fishing rights, the Northern Ireland protocol and all other – agreed and ratified – matters.”

One of the UK and Europe’s biggest gas producers has become the latest energy firm to stoke mounting anger over “grotesque” record-breaking annual profits.
Norwegian firm Equinor posted underlying earnings of 74.9 billion US dollars (£61.9 billion), more than double the 33.5 billion US dollars (£27.7 billion) it made in 2021.
On a net profit basis, it reported 28.7 billion US dollars (£23.8 billion) compared with profits of 8.6 billion US dollars (£7.1 billion) in 2021.
BP and Shell
It follows similar mammoth bottom line profits for oil and gas giants in recent days thanks to last year’s soaring energy prices, with BP and Shell both posting record-breaking figures for 2022, at £23 billion and £33 billion respectively.
Campaigners have taken aim at the firms for raking in huge profits while households and businesses are suffering amid a cost of living crisis and claim the companies have made little progress in switching to renewable energy sources.
Greenpeace hit out at Equinor’s profit announcement and reiterated its call for a bigger windfall tax on the sector.
Protesters from climate campaigners Parents for Future, Mothers Rise Up, and HERO UK Climate Justice Circle are also staging a demonstration outside Equinor’s London headquarters in protest at its figures and its plans to develop Rosebank, the UK’s largest undeveloped oil field.
The activists at Equinor’s headquarters described the figures as “grotesque”.
Mel Evans, Greenpeace UK’s head of UK climate, added: “Equinor is the latest fossil fuel giant to post record profits looted from bill payers’ pockets while destroying the climate last year.
“Just 0.13 per cent of its energy production came from renewables in 2022.
“Instead of giving out more tax breaks for oil and gas drilling, the Government needs to claw back these massive profits and use them to insulate people’s homes and scale up renewable energy.”
“Government needs to claw back these massive profits”
Equinor was not immediately available for comment.
The firm’s highest ever annual profit came after a better-than-expected performance in the last three months of 2022, with quarterly underlying earnings edging up to 15.1 billion US dollars (£12.5 billion), against predictions for a fall.
But its report revealed that production from renewable energy sources was 2 per cent lower year-on-year in the fourth quarter.
Equinor – which is majority Norwegian state-owned – is one of the biggest producers of gas in the world, and last year became Europe’s biggest supplier of natural gas after Russia’s Gazprom slashed deliveries amid sanctions against President Putin’s regime, following his invasion of Ukraine.
Anders Opedal, president and chief executive of Equinor, said: “In 2022, we responded to the energy crisis and contributed to energy security.
“With strong operational performance, we delivered record results and cash flow from operations.
“We stepped up capital distribution to shareholders, while continuing to invest in a balanced energy transition and contributing to society with high tax payments.”
The group – which makes the bulk of its profit in Norway, where oil firms pay tax at 78 per cent – said it expects to pay record taxes in 2022, with 42.8 billion US dollars (£35.4 billion) paid in tax related to operations on the Norwegian continental shelf.

npower’s latest annual energy report sees energy risk highlighted as the primary business threat. But for manufacturers looking to protect themselves against the anticipated risks posed by security of supply, a number of questions with regard to power self generation and demand management technologies remain – including who should pay for them?
The annual npower Business Energy Index (nBEI) canvasses the opinions of businesses on energy-related issues. With the manufacturing industry destined to play a big part in helping to achieve the Government’s national target of an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050, its approach to energy procurement and management is one of growing importance.
The number one threat highlighted by respondents from major energy users (MEUs) was energy risk and, in particular, the risks associated with supply and costs. Energy outweighed all other more traditional business risks including legislation, security and health and safety. With such importance being attached to it, it is clear energy needs to be taken seriously at every level of an organisation.
Security of supply and the cost of energy are also set to remain at the forefront of business concerns for the foreseeable future. Businesses predicted that supply and cost risk would still be the major energy-related concern in five years time – continuing to rank higher than areas such as energy sources, legislative compliance and associated CO2 emissions.
“Businesses predicted that supply and cost risk would still be the major energyrelated concern in five years time – continuing to rank higher than areas such as energy sources, legislative compliance and associated CO2 emissions.” Wayne Mitchell, interim industrial and commercial markets director, npower
Energy risk is growing in importance, with 44% of MEUs saying it has gained a higher profile within their organisation over the past three years. The increased awareness of energy risk has brought about encouraging changes in how organisations are managing energy. Eighty one per cent stated it had led to improved monitoring and reporting, and 85% said it had led to improved energy efficiency results. To support this move, 63% of MEUs questioned said they now employ a person specifically responsible for energy purchasing and 14% of these are board members.
With significant operational risks concerning costs and supply, we should expect to see this number increase as time goes by.
However, one in six MEUs admits to having no strategy to manage energy risk at all.
It appears that for some UK businesses, energy concerns have yet to be turned into a strategically-driven response. We would encourage organisations to implement an energy risk management strategy as soon as possible to ensure they have maximum protection.
Businesses can offset some of the risks associated with long-term energy supply and cost by implementing self generation technology, for example, solar panels or combined heat and power (CHP) and utilising demand management tools. The nBEI looked at this area for the first time this year as we wanted to understand how businesses were using the technology available as part of their energy management plans.
With 39% of MEUs and 61% of SMEs admitting to having no current self generation capability, it is clear that such moves to protect the future position of the organisation are not yet common place. MEUs keen to protect themselves from the energy risks outlined in this year’s nBEI will need to seriously consider investigating the options for self generation technologies and demand management tools – to shield themselves from the energy challenges of the future.

Glyndwr wrote in: Just seen JRD’s interview on S4C’s entertainment show, “Popcorn”. Talking to the interviewer in the Welsh Black Mountains, JRD looked very relaxed considering his recent accident. Apart from doing a passable impersonation of Gollum (“S4C lovesss us, my precious; no they don’t, they hatesss us!”), and talking once again about the hours spent having Gimli’s prosthetics attached painfully to his face, he said how he had been persuaded by his son to take the role of Gimli in the trilogy after initially being unsure whether it would be a success. As soon as he began work on the project, however, he knew that it would be massive.
“Living in Salisbury,” he said, “my mum and dad found that I was getting mocked by the other kids, and they decided they would only talk to me in English… I don’t speak Welsh any more, but the music of Wales is in my head.”
Today’s Welsh Daily Mirror also reported how JRD’s big ambition was to play rugby in the red shirt of Wales, as his father had been a forward for Pontypool and had a Welsh trial in 1934. “In those days,” he said, “miners would come out of the pit, have a bath, run down to the pitch and then hammer each other.”
Perhaps today’s Welsh team ought to take a leaf out of that book: they might actually win some matches!

Mobile games not bringing in the bucks
Worldwide revenue dips
Revenue from mobile games slipped nine per cent during the second quarter to 30 June 2007, compared to an 11 per cent rise during the first - bad news for a market which constantly portrays itself as under-exploited.
The figures come from market analyst firm iSuppli, which attributes the drop to the fact that only a small proportion of mobile phone users ever buy a game, and those users saw nothing compelling during that period.
Certainly, iSuppli thinks this is a temporary blip, and is predicting the market will almost triple by 2011, to $6.6bn, as networked and location-aware games appeal to a wider demographic. ®

Document Foundation starts charging €8.99 for 'free' LibreOffice
Only in the Mac App Store, as part of FOSS-for-biz strategy software org admits may not quickly deliver results
The Document Foundation, the organization that tends the open source productivity suite LibreOffice, has decided to start charging for one version of the software.
LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice and is offered under the free/open source Mozilla Public License Version 2.0.
A Monday missive from the Document Foundation reveals the org will begin charging €8.99 for the software – but only when sold via Apple's Mac App Store.
That sum has been styled a "convenience fee … which will be invested to support development of the LibreOffice project."
The foundation suggests paying up in the Mac App Store is ideal for "end users who want to get all of their desktop software from Apple's proprietary sales channel."
- PanWriter: Cross-platform writing tool runs on anything and outputs to anything
- Open source databases: What are they and why do they matter?
- LibreOffice improves Microsoft compatibility with version 7.4
Free downloads of LibreOffice for macOS from the foundation's site will remain available and arguably be superior to the App Store offering, because that version will include Java. The foundation argued that Apple does not permit dependencies in its store, so it cannot include Java in the €8.99 offering.
The version now sold in the App Store supersedes a previous offering provided by open source support outfit Collabora, which charged $10 for a "Vanilla" version of the suite and threw in three years of support.
The foundation's marketing officer Italo Vignoli thanked Collabora for its past efforts and explained the change as a "new marketing strategy."
"The Document Foundation is focused on the release of the Community version, while ecosystem companies are focused on a value-added long-term supported versions targeted at enterprises," Vignoli explained. "The distinction has the objective of educating organizations to support the FOSS project by choosing the LibreOffice version which has been optimized for deployments in production and is backed by professional services, and not the Community version generously supported by volunteers."
"The objective is to fulfil the needs of individual and enterprise users in a better way," Vignoli added, before admitting "we know that the positive effects of the change will not be visible for some time."
"Educating enterprises about FOSS is not a trivial task and we have just started our journey in this direction," he wrote.
That’s a slightly odd statement, given the massive adoption of Linux and open source databases in the enterprise, and the enormous market share of the open source Chromium browser engine in the Chrome and Edge browsers. Mozilla's open source Firefox can also be found in many a business.
The desktop productivity tools market, however, remains utterly dominated by proprietary offerings such as Microsoft's Office suite and associated cloud services, with Google's Workspaces nibbling around the edges and the occasional new market entrant trying their hand at the market – as web graphics darling Canva announced a couple of weeks back.
Of those, 55 million downloads were made within the US, followed by 44 million from France and another 34 million from Germany. Just 4.75 million were for the Linux version of the suite – well behind the 298 million Windows downloads.
LibreOfice is a very decent suite, but lacks the cloudy tie-ins offered by Microsoft and Google.
That omission is by design. The Document Foundation has developed a browser-based version of the suite but decided not to advance it to become a full competitor to Office or Workspaces.
Doing so "would require selection and integration of the other technologies needed for deployment – file sharing, authentication, load balancing and so on – a significant growth of scope and not in line with the original mission of the project," states the foundation’s page describing its browser-based efforts.
But the foundation is open to others creating such a service. "The task is therefore left to large deployers, ISPs and providers of open source cloud solutions, and several options are already available on the market. TDF would welcome provision of a public LibreOffice Online offering by another charity." ®

Many people in Lindale have the idea that chiropractic care is just a great way to treat back and neck pain. While it's true that chiropractic is far better than medical care for such problems, our job at The Spine Chiropractic is to help you improve you overall health and wellness.
Your body has an incredible, innate ability to heal itself and be well. When your body isn't functioning properly, you experience illness, disease, or pain.
Every function of your body is controlled by your central nervous system, and this function can be disrupted by misaligments in your spine. These are called subluxations. A subluxation creates interference in the function of your spinal nerves, and this can result in impaired functioning of your organs and endocrine system.
Chiropractic adjustments are simply a way to remove that interference and restore the natural function of your body. Chiropractic is truly about prevention.
Our patients at The Spine Chiropractic have seen the benefits of chiropractic care, and the scientific literature provides the proof. Here are just a few of the proven benefits of chiropractic:

In its most recent newsletter, CONSULEGIS International Litigation & Arbitration Specialist Group presented an abbreviated overview of multiple jurisdictions’ legal views on when, based on company law, is a director is personally liable for their actions.
Among the contributors to writing on the topic are five legal advisors from Horizons addressing Indonesia, Mongolia, Korea (DPRK), Russia and China. In this post, we offer the entry on China.
By Li Huajing and Li Dan
Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (“Company Law”), adopted in 1993 and last revised in 2013, is the main legislation governing and applicable to all corporate entities. Under Company Law, directors are accountable to the Company and the Shareholders; all duties and responsibilities granted to directors shall be performed with loyalty and due diligence.
In Article 46, the board of director’s responsibilities, which in the end shall be burdened by all directors, are stipulated as the main governing body of the company. Therefore, any directors in breach of conduct may be subject to the legal liabilities provisioned in articles of the Company Law (Article 21 &148 & 149 & 152), corresponding articles in Provisions as well as the company’s articles of association. Dependent on the violation, the penalty may range from independent or joint civil compensation or criminal imprisonment.
Any director in violation of the law, administrative regulation or the articles of association is liable to compensate the company for damages and losses (Article 149, Company Law). Where any director damages the shareholders’ interest by violation maybe sued by shareholders in the people’s court (Article 152, Company Law & Article 12, Provisions IV). Furthermore, any cause for the losses of creditors, the responsible director may be sued by creditors for compensation (Article 18 & 19 & 21, Provisions II & Article 13 & 14, Provisions III)
Specific violations are mainly defined in the Law and the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China (‘Criminal Law’). Primarily, as directors owe a fiduciary duty and due diligence to the company, any abuse of power and neglect of performance may be considered a violation, including:
- Misappropriating company funds, commodities, services or other assets gratis
- Unauthorised disclosure of company confidential information
- Undisclosed acceptance of commission for transactions between the company and other parties
- Without consent of the shareholders or the resolution of the board of directors
—Abuse of authority
—Business opportunities sought in one’s own self-interest
—Assist other companies in competition against the company
—Provide guarantee to a unit or individual without justifiable reasons - Relinquish creditors’ rights or assume debts without justifiable reasons
- Other related acts in breach of loyalty in the company’s articles of association and in Article 148, the Law
The abovementioned violations, among others, including manipulation of the company to commit unlawful acts, shall fall under the scope of sentences under Article 165 and Article 169a of the Criminal Law.
In the corporate governance structure (Company Law, Section 2), both the shareholders and supervisors may initiate legal proceedings against a director for company mismanagement.
In a criminal case, the director, as the criminal suspect, shall be strictly proceeded upon in accordance with procedures regulated under the Criminal Procedure Law of PRC (revised 2012). In the event of high-frequency losses of property in cases where directors are involved, an incidental civil action may be bought when initiating public prosecution and the defendant’s property may be seized or frozen when necessary (Article 99 & 100, Criminal Procedure Law).
All directors are called upon to perform in the best interest of the company. Neglect of responsibilities, mismanagement and abuse of position may lead to severe repercussions for the individual, both in civil and criminal proceedings.

Everton and Nottingham Forest have acknowledged the Premier League’s decision to refer both clubs over a breach of the league’s profitability and sustainability rules.
The clubs are alleged to have sustained losses above the permitted thresholds for the assessment period ending with the 2022-23 season. The Premier League has confirmed that both cases have been referred to the chair of the judicial panel, who will appoint separate commissions to determine the appropriate sanctions.
Everton received a 10-point deduction earlier in the season for breaching financial rules, reportedly caused by interest payments for its new £500m (€581m/$632m) stadium (pictured). The penalty, imposed by a Premier League independent commission, marked the heaviest points deduction in the competition’s history. Everton launched an appeal against the “wholly disproportionate” sanction.
Yesterday’s (Monday’s) announcement by the Premier League puts Everton at risk of a further points deduction, with Forest potentially facing a similar sanction.
In a statement released yesterday, Everton said the latest referral covers the four seasons from 2019-20 to 2022-23, therefore including financial periods (2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22) for which the original 10-point sanction was given.
Everton’s statement added: “The Premier League does not have guidelines which prevent a club being sanctioned for alleged breaches in financial periods which have already been subject to punishment, unlike other governing bodies, including the EFL. As a result – and because of the Premier League’s new commitment to deal with such matters ‘in-season’ – the club is in a position where it has had no option but to submit a PSR (profit and sustainability rules) calculation which remains subject to change, pending the outcome of the appeal.
“The club must now defend another Premier League complaint which includes the very same financial periods for which it has already been sanctioned, before that appeal has even been heard. The club takes the view that this results from a clear deficiency in the Premier League’s rules.”
Forest released a shorter statement confirming that it acknowledges the Premier League’s decision. Forest said it intends to cooperate fully with the league and is confident of a “speedy and fair resolution”.
Clubs are able to lose £105m over a three-year period, but Forest’s losses are capped at £61m as the club spent two seasons in the Championship during the most recent cycle. Everton and Forest have 14 days to respond to their charges.
Everton announced last month that it will play its first competitive fixtures at its new stadium at the start of the 2025-26 season. The club stressed that the decision was not because of a construction delay, with the venue still scheduled to be completed in the final weeks of 2024.
In September, Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his majority shareholding in Everton to US investment fund 777 Partners in a deal that secured the “complete financing” for the club’s new stadium. It was later reported by The Athletic that 777 Partners had provided the club with a loan worth “tens of millions” amid rising costs for the stadium project.
Although the nature of Everton’s alleged breach was not disclosed, reports suggested that the charge related to interest payments on the cost of building the stadium.
Forest, meanwhile, has long-held plans to expand its home stadium, the City Ground. In July 2022, the project, which will initially focus on rebuilding the Peter Taylor Stand, was given the green light by Rushcliffe Borough Council.
The project would bring the capacity of the stand up to 10,000, with Forest also planning on expanding the Bridgford Stand as part of a long-term goal to bring the City Ground’s capacity up to 38,000.

The Little Store leaves a big impression
Published 9:13 pm Tuesday, May 15, 2012
The prices were right. The distance was right. The owners were right.
I’m talking about a neighborhood grocery in one of my boyhood towns — Pensacola, Fla. When I say neighborhood grocery, that’s what I meant. The grocery was inside a wood-frame building, probably about 40 feet wide and 60 feet deep. Two blocks from my maternal grandparents’ house, it carried the basics.
My two sisters and I referred to it as “The Little Store.” It was owned and operated by a husband-wife team that were grandparents, which may explain why young children were received well and treated well by the owners.
By carrying the basics, I meant it had penny candy, candy of varying other costs, ice-cold soft drinks, cookies on the loose in big, round, plastic containers. The brand I remember the most was Jack’s cookies. I could buy a fistful of cookies and an ice-cold Mountain Dew (in a green bottle with the words “It’ll tickle your innards” on it) for a quarter.
Those were the days when I could find a Hostess banana flip each time my sisters and I trekked to The Little Store. Try finding a Hostess banana flip these days. I believe they are extinct. And if so, why didn’t the EPA put them on the endangered-species list before they went extinct. I am holding the federal government accountable for the loss of Hostess banana flips.
The Little Store was our supply depot for Pixie Sticks and those little, wax bottles filled with flavored syrups. The Little Store offered peanut-butter logs wrapped in striped cellophane, BB Bats, Necco wafers, Sweetarts, Fizzies and Atomic Fireballs. It wasn’t until I reached my 40s that I learned Necco wafers weren’t just a candy. That candy got its name from its maker — New England Confectionary Company.
Well, maybe Yankees are good for one or two things.
As I got older, I appreciated The Little Store for more than just sweets. I could get good, great-tasting bologna from The Little Store. One of the owners would slice the bologna as thick, or thin, as the buyer wanted. Each slice was covered with that red rind. Half the fun of making a fried bologna sandwich was peeling the rind off the slice of bologna.
The Little Store also carried a limited supply of produce. Apples were plentiful, but peaches were limited to July and August, when most of the peaches in other Southern states were being picked. The owners seemed to have a policy: buy about five peaches over a week or 10 days would result in a free peach on the next visit. I guess being grandparents, they knew that grandchildren have limited incomes.
There’s something about biting into a juicy peach and letting the juice run down your chin, then dripping onto your Keds sneakers. Same thing goes for biting into a vine-ripened tomato.
A trip to The Little Store would last 30 minutes: 28 minutes of looking over the merchandise and seeking the best combination possible. The last two minutes would be used to pay for my purchase and making sure I didn’t leave my sisters behind. If I did that, I knew what would happen to my behind.
Mike Voss covers the city of Washington for the Washington Daily News. He would do a flip if someone could locate a banana flip for him.

Bought this on a whim, I was bored. When it came and I opened it I was very pleased. I made it with scraps around the garage and every one who sees it wants one. Easy to build, and it looks great. Sent one to my Uncle and his daughter wouldn't let him use it outdoors. She has it on a table inside. You shouldn't be disappointed with this pattern.

The insular administration, the Balearic Government and the Alaior Town Hall sign the agreement for the management of the building.
The president of the Consell Insular de Menorca, Adolfo Vilafranca, the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sports of the Balearic Government, Jaume Bauzà, and the mayor of Alaior, José Luis Benejam, have signed this Wednesday, 27th March, the agreement for the management of the Convent de Sant Diego Cultural Centre, a 17th century Franciscan convent known as Pati de sa Lluna, which has been listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1993.
The maintenance of the Convent of Sant Diego
The agreement stipulates the cession of the use of the Convent to the Alaior Town Council for ten years. On an annual basis, the Town Council, the Government and the Consell de Menorca will each contribute an amount of 54,523.21 euros to guarantee the maintenance and services of this space.
“We are pleased that this agreement is a reality, as we believe that this project is important because the purpose of the use of the space has three objectives: to conserve the historical and artistic heritage of Menorca, to contribute to the cultural promotion of Alaior and Menorca, and to boost the projection of tourism,” explained the president of the Consell Insular de Menorca, Adolfo Vilafranca.
The first steps after the signing of this agreement will be, within a maximum period of six months from the transfer agreement, the creation of the Consell Social del Convent de Sant Diego, a body for citizen participation in the management of the space, with functions of advice, consultation, monitoring and support to the Monitoring Committee of this agreement.
Councillor Bauzá, for his part, highlighted the beauty of the Pati de sa Lluna, a unique place of great cultural and historical importance in Alaior. “This emblematic space will become a cultural meeting place for Menorcans and will be an obligatory stop on the tourist route for our visitors”, he assured.
The Convent de Sant Diego was acquired by Inestur (now AETIB) on 21st February 2005. The following year this building was included in the Alaior Town Hall’s Catalogue of architectural protection and ethnological assets.

The market in crypto-assets continues to develop at a rapid pace. From the now more ‘classic’ examples such as Bitcoin, the market has expanded to non-fungible tokens of ownership (NFTs), decentralized finance (DeFi), smart contracts, etc. And that does not even begin to mention all developments going on around the blockchain technology and in the wider Web3 ecosphere. Legislators worldwide are now trying to get a grip on these developments in order to address some of the concerns posed by this rising market.
In the EU, the European legislator has last year adopted a comprehensive framework addressing different types of crypto-assets and several services provided around crypto-assets. This framework, the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation or MiCAR, will form the core of the EU legislation applicable to these developments.
In this webinar, we take a closer look at the MiCAR framework and its consequences for players on this market – both consumers and professionals. We also look at recent developments regarding smart contracts, Web3 and NFTs. A discussion of a few use cases will demonstrate the importance of these developments in practice. Last, we will look at the different cybersecurity requirements that will become applicable in this sphere, which professionals on this market should prepare for.
Niels Vandezande will talk on MiCAR and Pedro Demolder will talk about the cybersecurity framework.

An important part of Tesla's plan is to make the company even bigger: in order to satisfy this need for growth, the company is not only preparing the opening of new factories, but also making the current plants even more productive. The Fremont plant, Tesla's very first and original, is more productive than in its entire history. Let´s take into account that Elon Musk bought the factory from Toyota and General Motors, and that at the time it established itself as one of the most active in the country.
The original Fremont plant was originally built in 1984; between that year and 2010, a total of eight million cars were manufactured at the facility by Toyota and General Motors, reaching a maximum productivity peak of more than 428,000 vehicles a year in 2006. Following the acquisition by Tesla, the Fremont factory has undergone a major renovation, almost from the ground up; significant changes that have made it one of the most productive centers in the country so far.
It can be said that Fremont is nowadays capable of producing more cars than in the best year of its life: in 2021, the Californian plant produced a total of 444,600 units, which is equivalent to a total of 8,550 cars per week, making it the reference center in the United States; by the way surpassing other industry giants such as Toyota or BMW, which were placed second and third with their American plants.
Despite achieving such successful figures, Elon Musk believes that there is still room to increase production volume by 50%, although he does not give many details of how he intends to achieve such a feat. Nor is it that Tesla needs to exceed the limits of the Fremont plant, since the new Austin Gigafactory is beginning to harvest very notorious production volumes. Despite this, there are plans for growth, both inside and outside the United States.
New plants for Tesla: the third part of Elon Musk's master plan indicates that Tesla actually has to get much bigger. Having the necessary resources and capital to do so, the CEO is seriously thinking about opening new facilities for the production of electric vehicles: the locations that have earned the most points so far are Canada and Mexico, as well as a very probable new factory in the United States. The first data does not show specific places where to build the factories, but the search is already underway.
At the moment the priority is to expand the production volume of its two most recent factories: Giga-Texas and Giga-Berlin. Although the Austin plant is already beginning to pick up a good production pace, the German plant currently registers 1,000 units per week. An important fact, but far from the most positive estimates; reaching maximum production capacity is not an easy or quick process. The primary objective is precisely that: maximum production capacity in the current factories, although the opening of new centers is also being considered.

Into the weekend a little drawdown as the EURUSD is hitting the PRZ zone and starting to reverse at 38.2% on FIB. A little drawdown and due to weekend shifts and jumps I am going to move the Stop out a bit further to prevent being artificially stopped out from market jumps. The grey block from original SL to 1.08683 is to signify a bookmark of sorts so I'll know to adjust the SL back to normal on Sunday at open (aussie monday). The market structure has held really well in this new adventure, the batman (and soon giant 'W') is proving to show a decent upwards momentum. Keeping it simple and low order size because no one wants to be a dollar bear =D. May the pips be with you!

Top 5 Ways to Optimise Deliveries with Delivery Tracking Software
Door-step deliveries have become quite popular in the past decade, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic and last-mile deliveries being one of the most expensive parts of the entire retail supply chain it is important to optimise them.
In this blog, we’ll discuss the ways in which you can optimise your deliveries using this software.
5 ways to optimise deliveries with delivery tracking software
Auto-assign and auto-despatch
The software allows business owners to create a delivery route, where deliveries are to be done and then assign delivery drivers to these routes. The orders are auto-assigned to drivers according to the area where the order is coming from. The assigned orders are updated on the drivers’ application which makes it easy for them to pick orders out for deliveries without any hassle. Auto-assign and auto-despatch features ensure on-time in-full (OTIF) order fulfilment.
Route optimisation is a vital feature of the software that ensures on-time delivery hassle-free. The feature allows the business owner to create a master route for all the routes created by them which calculates the distance and creates the shortest delivery route. Doing so decreases the turnaround time and fuel usage which lowers carbon emissions and carbon footprinting.
Live tracking and ETA
The software allows customers and business owners to track their orders in real-time and calculate delivery driver efficiency simultaneously. The system analyses the delivery distance and obtains ETAs that are provided to customers. Being able to track the order with precise ETAs enhances the customer experience and improves customer satisfaction scores (CSAT).
Telematic technology used in the software allows customers and delivery drivers to contact each other directly via call or message directly from the customer interface and the drivers’ application. This kind of direct communication is helpful in case deliveries get late due to any unexpected event or the customer wants to give any delivery instructions at run time.
Optimise delivery costs
Automating the entire delivery process mitigates human interference and speeds up the process of order despatch. Along with automating the despatching process, it optimises the delivery routes that cut-off fuel costs. The software streamlines the deliveries ensuring accurate, fast and cost-effective deliveries that also add to the net profit.
It is important to use a powerful platform to keep afloat in the competitive market. Delivery tracking software is a great tool that is used to automate and optimise your deliveries. If you are looking forward to scaling your business, it can help you, allowing you to focus on planning and strategising rather than on deliveries. You can also discuss your business plan with our industry experts and see how we can help your business.
Hope You Enjoyed the Read!

Tomorrow Lisa and I will be walking in our first Vegas Strong event. For those not in know, this is a 5K walk/run that starts in downtown Las Vegas, and is held in memory of the far-too-many people who were killed in the shooting that happened here five years ago.
Yesterday we picked up packets that provided a few elements to support the walk, including a t-shirt, a chipped bib so we can get our timing covered, and a wristband. It also included a name. Or, more appropriately for me, it included a slip of paper that read “Running or Walking In Memory of Carrie Barnette.” Lisa’s was the same, but dedicated her walk to Jennifer Irvine.
Well, yeah. That took me back a half-notch.
Of course, I figured earlier, this was a memorial service. Of course it would be emotional in its way. Of course it would. I mean, you know … last week we walked in the St. Jude event, and there were some powerful moments that came from seeing families who were so directly impacted by childhood cancer. The idea of focusing on harm and hurt comes with the entire concept of walking for charity.
A couple weeks back, during our own walk, Lisa and I came across a small plot of a park nearby, which we soon discovered was the Las Vegas Community Healing Garden. It’s a really beautiful place. Quiet in the middle of the bustle. Once we realized what it was, we took a few minutes to stroll around it, looking at pictures and names.
When the shooting happened, we lived in Tucson. We were horrified, of course, and since we knew people here we were a little concerned for them. But the events weren’t local for us, so they weren’t as personal. The horror we felt (that I felt, anyway) was the distant form of horror about humanity that I can get without it being so close it stops me in my tracks. Walking in the Healing Garden was like that to a degree. Closer, yes. More intimate. But, still.
The names were a collective, and though I tried to take them in, they flowed past without too much friction.
Today everything feels different, though. Today I know I’ll be participating in the Vegas Strong event in the memory of a real person who really existed. Carrie Barnette. A person who Google tells me was 34 years old when random violence took her life—who was celebrating a friend’s birthday here. A person who had a family and who lived in Riverside California. Who had a job in the world of Disney.
Lisa’s Jennifer Irvine was 42 years old and a lawyer.
I won’t pretend that a ridiculously quick Google tells me much about people I’ve never met, so in that way there’s nothing here. But I will say that taking a moment to really see her helped me get my head on even more firmly about the event tomorrow.
Life is so short.
And so random.
One moment things are good, and the next … they are not.
As much as I hate the fact that the world is such that I have an actual name to walk for, as I sit here today, I’m feeling honored to know I’ll be carrying one.
I’ll think about that as Lisa and I are walking tomorrow. I’ll think about Carrie, and her family. And I’ll hope, almost certainly in vain, that this kind of thing will—someday—never happen again.

A Birthday Gift
Almighty One, you alone are my portion and my cup;
you make my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
– Psalm 16:5-6 (NIV)
Today, June 29th, our dear friend who is in hospice care is hosting his own birthday party and inviting hundreds of those he loves.
Marty has an uncanny knack for meeting people who become beloved friends. This psalm makes me think of him: boundaries lines just keep expanding.
Meeting Marty, you would soon discover that as the cancer has grown in him his determination to live with delight has grown even more. He relates the love of his husband and daughters and grandchildren with wonder. He describes his pain with clinical detail. He shares the fatigue, the richness, and the humdrum-edness of his days with appreciation.
The ancient teachers keep telling us: heaven is both now and not yet. Something coming, something already here. Marty keeps telling us, with urgency: the “delightful inheritance” is now.
“Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let your faithful one see decay.” (Psalm 16:9-10)
I’m getting it, Marty: the only death I have to fear is the death that occupies me while still drawing breath. Today’s celebration of your life and love is big enough to hold eternity.
God, my refuge: thank you for speaking so passionately through Marty. Thank you for the birthday gift he is giving, even while dying, making known the path of fullness of life. Amen.
The Rev. Dr. John A. Nelson is Pastor and Teacher of the Congregational Church of Salisbury (CT).

Send your design brief to UK Temporary Works Design and
Get clear scaffold designs ASAP with details
and quality that your clients will approve.
Hi! I am Raul Bandera, a Chartered Civil Engineer (CEng MICE) with 22 years of experience in scaffold design and temporary works.
After 5 years as Design Manager at PHD Access, I started UK Temporary Works Design to provide scaffold drawings and calculations with the speed and quality that you require.
I also managed my own engineering firm in Spain for 9 years, where we designed whatever the clients required: scaffolding, formwork, concrete structures…
During those years, I found the time to train scaffolders and patent a new anchor system. Unfortunately, once the construction crisis hit Spain, I had to dissolve the company and start from scratch in London.

Broader perspective on leadership needed: use all the tools in the toolbox
Leadership in a public organisations is no longer just the domain of the management. Modern leadership also requires the use of a diverse repertoire of behavioural skills. To accommodate this, today’s managers rely on a toolbox full of tools, according to Marieke van der Hoek, PhD candidate at the Institute of Public Administration in her dissertation. The PhD ceremony will take place on 9 March 2023.
Van der Hoek concludes in her dissertation that the available literature in the field of leadership only focusses on a limited definition of what leadership means. ‘Motivating subordinates is a recurring theme. But that is not the only thing you need to consider when it comes to leadership. Managers also have to be able to influence people higher up in the organisation, for instance, or other managers on the same level, or external partners.’
