Hi BellaStylistas! It’s Isoken and every month, I’ll be sharing a short letter spotlighting our monthly theme from my personal perspective and giving you an idea of some of the amazing content we have planned. For August, our theme is #Escape.
Editor-At-Large Isoken Ogiemwonyi introduces the BellaNaija Style’s #Escape theme for August.
Welcome to August! I hope your weekend was full of good times and sunshine. Mine was full of family, friends, and full on summer vibes. I took a little break at the end of July to refresh and recalibrate, and it was definitely worth it. I disconnected from a lot of the (inevitable) information overload that comes with digital publishing, and had the opportunity to really be present with my friends and family. Obviously, it was awesome.
It also really made me think on how fleeting ‘summer’ can feel, 90 odd days for most of us to ‘escape’ to far flung locales or just time off from school for the kids. It certainly takes different forms for different people. And with the added insta-gloss, it can be a time of some serious FOMO, but summer is not infinite. It goes by in a flash and it’s important to enjoy those days as much as possible. Whether it’s a mini staycation at your favourite hotel, or just ensuring you dedicate your evenings after work to connecting with people you love. Try actively living as opposed to just existing. Take a beat. Have some fun. Watch a movie. Dance on a rooftop. Attend a festival. It’s what holidays are for!
In this issue we speak to many of your faves and soon to be new faves on their tips and tricks for incredible travel beauty and what to pack on vacation; We speak to top stylists and fashion industry insiders on their top destination recommendations, what to eat, where to go. We’ll also expand on our new series around Editors’ Style and
And finally, don’t forget to explore our regular features like Best Dressed of the Week, Ankara Styles We Love, Best Beauty Instagrams of the Week, Workwear Looks our Editors Love, fan favourite BellaStylista, Style Your Curves and Friday Fab Finds.
Have a great month! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As Christians, we should pray fervently for our brothers and sisters in Christ who live and serve Him in the war-torn nation of Afghanistan. In recent days, Afghan President, Ashraf Ghani, fled the country. When he exited, a host of armed Taliban militants overtook the presidential palace in Kabul. The Taliban were emboldened to make these military moves because United States (U.S.) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces withdrew from Afghanistan in July. While some U.S. forces have returned to the region to try to assist in the evacuation of as many people as possible, the scene in the devastated nation is chaotic at best.
People have flocked to the Hamid Karzai International Airport trying to escape the region. Some Americans have been trapped behind Taliban lines and are finding it difficult, if not impossible, to get to the airport to escape. Nearby nations like Turkey are expanding and strengthening their border walls to prevent any major influx of Afghanistan refugees. Here in America, the Biden administration affirmed that the Taliban confiscated a considerable amount of U.S. military arms and equipment that was previously given to Afghan security forces during the rapid attack on Kabul by the Taliban forces.
The most endangered people in Afghanistan who are being targeted by the militant Taliban forces are children, women, and Christians. Authorities say that they are in grave danger as the militant Taliban continues to take over. Reports show that insurgents are raping women and girls. Christians are being targeted and are receiving death threats from the Islamic Taliban. All of Afghanistan, and especially Afghan Christians, need our prayers. Pray God sovereignly and supernaturally intervenes and protects those who are trapped in this terrible situation. Pray the Taliban soldiers will not target women and children, there will be no sexual abuse, and the militant Islamic forces will not murder Christians.
My Scripture memory verses for this week are: Psalm 46:10–11 NAU “Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.”
I’m praying that the Lord Jesus will move powerfully among the Afghans so multitudes will take note and turn to faith in Him. At Bellevue, let’s all pray that this war and strife will soon cease, and Jesus will sovereignly exalt Himself in the nation of Afghanistan. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

COMPLETE WOMEN’S COLLECTIONS IN ALL OCCUPATIONAL CATEGORIES
Although this field has long been dominated by men, there is absolutely no doubt that
women are entitled to the same options concerning workwear. Therefore, at
Blåkläder we can proudly state that we offer complete women’s collections in
all occupational categories. Even more; we have maternity trousers.
Blåkläder’s motto “Dressed, safe and stylish, inside and out” does not differentiate between genders and this has also been evidenced in the development of our women’s collections in recent years.
Since Blåkläder initiated its focus on women’s workwear in 2016, this product category has grown by 200 items, concentrating primarily on expanding new collections to include more occupational groups.
Today, we offer complete female-fit collections in all occupational categories. Our motivation lies in the challenge to develop products that make life safer, simpler and more comfortable for the all women as they go about their daily work.
Since the start, all garments have been developed and produced with the help of the world’s sharpest experts – the women who work in the industry. It is thanks to all the invaluable feedback from them that Blåkläder has had this amazing opportunity to test, change, test, adjust and change again, until the finished garment was a perfect fit. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Should you go for something from the vet or something you can buy from the supermarket?
We asked our resident vet for some answers, so you can make the best decision for your pet.
Do supermarket treatments really work?
This depends on the treatment. Not all spot-on treatments are the same and some work better than others. Fipronil – the active ingredient – was the number one flea product sold by vets. Thanks to changes in the law, this product can now be sold in supermarkets.
Fipronil doesn’t just appear in Bob Martin. Many products now include it as an active ingredient, including Bob Martin Clear, Fiprospot and Flevox.
How can I be sure the product contains fipronil?
Just check the packaging – fipronil should be listed under the active ingredients.
Does fipronil have any side effects?
Side effects are rare. However, some pets can have an allergic reaction – you might see hair loss or itching on the spot where you applied the product. If you’re worried, get in touch with us or our vet.
You should always apply the spot on to the back of your pet’s neck. This way, it’s harder for them to lick off. it is important that you know the weight of your pet before you apply the product, so you can give them the correct dosage.
Our vet says: You should never ever apply dog spot on treatments to cats, or to any animal other that what it is intended for.
Is fipronil the most effective flea treatment?
Yes, but it’s worth bearing in mind that fipronil alone won’t kill the eggs or larvae in your home. Use Clear Plus Spot On with fipronil +s-methoprene for better protection. If you have a heavy flea infestation you’ll need to spray your house with a home flea spray also. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The firm news piece provides information related to attorney Fred Boettcher’s generous offer to pay for his waiter’s dental repair work. As the principle attorney at BDIW Law, Boettcher has devoted his life to helping Oklahoma residents who have suffered injuries due to the negligence of others or who are dealing with a disability and cannot work.
RELEASED: March 18, 2015
PONCA CITY, Okla. –
Across the U.S., millions of hardworking men and women are employed in the bar and restaurant industry. While the National Restaurant Association reports that the industry boasts annual sales of more than $709 billion dollars, many restaurant workers barely earn minimum wage and, to make ends meet, must rely heavily upon customer tips. In addition to the financial struggles that tend to accompany employment within the restaurant industry, workers often lack any type of medical or dental insurance.
For one Wichita waiter named Brian Maixner, a recent tip from a customer provided a very good reason to smile. Maixner, a single father, struggled with dental problems since childhood. Unable to afford dental work, Maixner’s wide and infectious smile was marred by chipped and decaying teeth.
Our Team Is Here To Assist You Every Step Of The Way.
SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY TODAYThe waiter, however, never allowed his dental problems to dim his bright smile, a quality that was both noticed and admired by attorney Fred Boettcher, upon whom Maixner waited on one recent morning. Having suffered his own share of dental problems during childhood, Boettcher offered to pay to repair his waiter’s teeth.
Discussing the generous act, the workers’ compensation and personal injury attorney noted that he “took one look at this young man and knew he was something special.” Upon meeting Maixner it’s clear that he is indeed special. So too is Fred Boettcher who advises to be “kind to everybody and be as generous as you possibly can be.”

Boettcher’s penchant towards altruism is evident in his interactions with clients for whom he fights passionately for every day, helping them to recover much-needed compensation.
Today, Maixner’s smile is even bigger and more beautiful than before. He is currently fitted with dentures and will soon undergo a procedure by Boettcher’s dentist during which he’ll receive permanent implants.

The Board of Directors of Nishat Mills Limited (NML), the flagship company of Nishat Group, has given its nod to establish a private limited company in the United Kingdom (UK).
The listed company informed stakeholders of the development in its notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday.
“The Board of Directors of Nishat Mills Limited has accorded its approval to the incorporation of a private limited company in the United Kingdom through the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Nishat International FZE, United Arab Emirates (UAE),” read the notice.
The company’s incorporation is subject to the grant of all applicable regulatory approvals and in compliance with all applicable laws.
Established in 1951, Nishat Mills Limited is one of the largest vertically integrated companies in Pakistan and is engaged in spinning, weaving, printing, dyeing, bleaching, and stitching and apparel business. NML deals in yarn, linen, and other products made from raw cotton and synthetic fiber.
The company is also in the business of generating and supplying electricity.
As per NML’s latest financial results, the company’s profit after tax declined by 51.98% to Rs5.35 billion during the 9MFY24, primarily due to a significant increase in finance cost and the imposition of a higher super tax rate during the current period compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.
The company back then stated that the global economic slowdown subdued demand for textile products in the international market.
Domestically, high energy cost, costly financing, and the imposition of unprecedented government taxation have escalated the cost of doing business, it added, affecting the textile industry’s current performance and future prospects. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Based on excerpts from Assassin’s Creed, a video game created by Ubisoft, TV5Monde will produce educational worksheets for teaching French as a foreign language to students between 15 and 17 years of age. Teenagers will travel through time and relive the great moments of history, while learning the French language.
From a media education and entertainment perspective, they will also be asked to identify a certain number of features of video games: a typical hero’s profile, mixture of reality and fiction, etc. These video resources, which are completely unprecedented in terms of French language learning, once again demonstrate the innovative nature of TV5Monde’s instructional approach when it comes to learning and teaching French.
“TV5Monde is delighted with this new partnership with Ubisoft and to be able to add the video game Assassin’s Creed to its educational platform… The channel’s expertise in teaching French using original and authentic media has gained a new dimension with this video game, which provides both content and an environment that will increase the interest in learning French,” says Yves Bigot, Managing Director of TV5Monde.
“Ubisoft is proud to partner with TV5Monde and to put its iconic video game Assassin’s Creed at the service of French-language learning for non-native French speakers around the world. We believe that when students engage in hands-on learning and actively engage with a real moment in history, as the Assassin’s Creed game allows them to do, it creates both a deeper and more enjoyable learning experience,” says Deborah Papiernik, SVP, New Business Development, Technology and Strategic Alliances at Ubisoft. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Step into a world where tradition meets unmatched craftsmanship with the Kris Tidal Dagger by Cold Steel. Inspired by the rich heritage of Javanese culture, this dagger isn’t just a weapon, it’s a piece of Indonesian history.
Whether you’re drawn to its stunning craftsmanship, its practical applications, or its rich cultural heritage, this steel dagger promises to be a jewel in most blade collections. Forged from high-quality 1055 carbon steel, this Kris Tidal Dagger guarantees exceptional durability and edge retention.
Every detail of this genuine dagger echoes the warrior cultures of Indonesia. The undulating blade is shaped with three concave curves ending in a spear point. These make it not only visually striking but also functional for cutting and thrusting.
The hilt, wrapped in sturdy Sal hardwood, provides a secure and comfortable one-handed grip. It also has wire wrapping at the top, giving your grip strength and security. Adding a touch of opulence, the brass bolster highlights the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into crafting this Kris dagger.
The guard and stirrup, serrated and grooved, evoke the tides and cultural influences of Indonesia, making it a sublime conversation starter. What’s more, the shorter “file cut” flanges beneath the base of the blade protects the finger. Meanwhile, the longer flange protects the thumb, wrist, and forearm. Designed for both cutting and stabbing, this wavy Indonesian dagger’s unique blade shape makes it a versatile tool in combat scenarios.

Perfect for avid collectors or martial artists, the keris dagger promises to be a stylish addition to your collection. Even if you simply appreciate the finer things in life, this exceptional piece will not disappoint.

Likewise, its half-wavy-half-straight blade promises not only a unique style added to your arsenal, it is also effective during practice cuts. A carved parrot-head motif, symbolizing freedom and vigilance, adorns its pommel.
Lining the pommel and the hilt are engraved rings for added depth. Furthermore, the brass floral patterns bordering the pommel provide a great contrast with the wooden parrot-head. Owning this real wavy dagger means having not just a weapon, but a story woven through time, admired by those with a keen eye for timeless artifacts.

I want to depart you with a quote that is close to my heart. My hero, the investor, industrialist and philanthropist Warren Buffett asserted: “You do not have to be the best. You do what you can do and as long as you have fun doing it and have a constructive attitude about it, issues are inclined to work out.” In times of uncertainty, it by no means hurts to keep a optimistic way of thinking.

E-learning is the speak of the day. Instead of attending faculties and colleges, folks at the moment are preferring to be taught by way of the internet. The irony of the state of affairs is unusual – it was found that programs learnt with the help of the internet have a profound impact on the candidates. Folks love computer systems – they use them for looking by means of the internet or playing games. Interactive clinical education is a paradigm where suitable candidates will have the ability to assimilate the entire course with the help of the internet.

15th December 2017
Caithness Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that from 1 January 2018 it will play host to Scotland’s only Europe Direct Information Centre (EDIC). The aim of this Centre is to provide information to businesses and the general public about EU matters, and to enable them to make their voices heard on any areas of EU activity that are of concern to them.
Starting from 1 January 2018, any members of the public in the North Highlands and Northern Isles who want to find out more about EU rights, funding, living / working / studying in EU countries, and much more, will be able to get easy access to the information they need.
As well as having a walk-in centre at the Chamber’s offices in Thurso, the EDIC will also have a dedicated phone number, email address and social media presence, and the team will also be doing information events throughout the year.
Trudy Morris, Chief Executive of Caithness Chamber of Commerce, said: “We were delighted to win this contract to host Scotland’s only EDIC. The bidding was highly competitive, and we were one of just 12 out of 35 organisations in the UK which were successful in securing a contract, so this is a real coup for the North Highlands.
“The Chamber remains neutral on the ongoing debates around Brexit and the EU, and we will not be speaking for the European Commission on any subject, topic or policy. Our sole aim with this centre is to ensure that businesses and individuals in the North Highlands and Islands have access to factual information on Europe and Brexit.
“As the Brexit process continues, there are obviously a number of complicated issues under discussion, and it is important that local citizens, businesses and organisations are able to have their key questions answered as soon as the information becomes available.
“This will be an exciting new challenge for the Chamber, and we look forward to playing our part in ensuring that those living, working and studying in the North Highlands and Northern Isles have the information they need to make informed decisions about Europe.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

As a Chamber, we have long argued that the North Highlands is an area within Scotland which faces its own unique set of challenges and opportunities, and that centrally set policies are often not appropriate to the unique needs of our communities and the businesses within them.
While it is the case that there are many things which unite businesses across Scotland, it’s also clear to us that businesses within the North Highlands have their own set of needs which need to be addressed. From transport and infrastructure to funding and talent attraction, there is much to set the needs of businesses in the region apart from those in the Central Belt.
That’s why we were pleased to support Gail Ross MSP’s recently announced consultation on a Remote Rural Communities Bill, which looks to recognise and build on the good work done by the Islands Bill.
The Islands Bill, which ensures that all public sector policies are “island-proofed” and have assessments of the impacts on island communities has had a real impact in ensuring that the needs of those communities are considered by government agencies. We believe that the Remote Rural Communities Bill is a strong step in the right direction when it comes to ensuring that similar consideration is given impact of policymaking on remote and rural communities.
Like our counterparts on the islands, businesses based in remote and rural communities like the North Highlands need recognition from government bodies that the policies they set have the potential to negatively affect us in ways which are simply not the case for businesses based in denser, urban areas.
The Workplace Parking Levy, for example, is a good example of a policy designed to address concerns unique to high-density urban environments. Within cities and larger towns, which often have strong public transport links and opportunities for active travel, there may be an argument to be made for such a levy to help disincentivise use of private transport and move commuters to more environmentally-friendly alternatives.
However, in a community like the North Highlands where commuters face significant distances between home and workplace and limited public transport options, it is hard to see how such a levy could be considered appropriate.
Similar concerns can be raised with the Scottish Government’s proposal to allow Councils to charge a levy on visitors to the area. Here again we feel it is important to recognise that the challenges raised by high levels of tourism faced in cities are very different to those in the North Highlands, and that a policy designed with cities in mind may simply not be appropriate for this area.
We believe it is important that individuals and businesses across the North Highlands make their voices heard on these issues and contribute to the consultation. We encourage everyone across the region to visit remoteruralcommunities.scot today to make their voices heard. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Frequently Asked Questions: Retreats
A retreat is an opportunity to withdraw from your normal daily activities in an environment that offers quiet and freedom from distraction. It is a time to step back from external stimuli, your job, daily responsibilities, from the news, from planning, projects, from society at large. A retreat provides positive conditions for going inward, for stilling our energies so we can attend to the inner life. Sharing a retreat with others creates a happy environment. Communication often becomes naturally positive and supportive and friendships can be formed.
We run weekend retreats under three different categories:
First Retreat or Newcomers - for those who have not been on our retreats before or who are very new to meditation and Buddhism.
Open Retreats for people who have learnt the two meditations we teach, although some are also suitable for newcomers (check the description for whether they are suitable for you). These retreats provide a relaxed programme of meditation, and will not assume you have much knowledge of Buddhism or experience of Buddhist ritual.
Sangha Retreats will often have a Buddhist theme, and will assume people are happy to participate in a Buddhist ritual without much prior explanation. There may also be a more intensive programme of meditation. These retreats are also suitable for mitras and Order members.
To find out about longer retreats run by other Triratna Retreat Centres look here.
Retreats are residential, with simple but comfortable sleeping accomodation. Most rooms are shared but you can request a single room if you have a particular need.
Retreatants help with the cooking and washing up (a good opportunity to get to know one another!)
The timetable is usually pretty relaxed, with a mixture of sessions of meditation, discussion, talks, ritual, and free time. The exact timetable and activities will depend on the retreat. But you don't need worry about having to sit for hours on end!
We ask you to commit to attending the entire retreat. It is important that we value the time that we and others are putting aside to be on retreat. A successful retreat is the fruit of everyone’s wholehearted participation.
Accommodation is mainly in single sex shared rooms for 2-4 people. So, to attend a retreat you need to be prepared to share a room. If you have a serious medical condition or disability that impacts on room sharing please contact the office at the time of your booking to discuss your needs. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A sharp rise in infections stemming from a parasitic worm that invades the human brain has health officials in the Hawaiian island of Maui worried.
“It’s like having a slow-moving bullet go through your brain,” state epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Park says, explaining the effects of rat lungworm disease. According to ABC News, the worm lives in the lungs of rats, but its larvae are expelled in the rats’ feces and infect slugs and snails, who in turn pass the larvae on to humans. The larvae can survive for months in humans, growing into worms an inch long. The parasite can cause a rare form of meningitis, which comes along with serious headaches, vomiting, temporary facial paralysis, and more. There’s no treatment for the disease, and it can cause permanent brain damage. It is rarely fatal.
Six cases of the disease have been reported on Maui in the past three months. The island only had two cases in the decade before that, and the entire state of Hawaii averages just 10 cases per year. Park says officials are “concerned that something has changed” to increase the risk on Maui, Hawaii News Now reports. Experts haven’t figured out the best way to get rid of the infected slugs and snails, as rats will still eat them and get infected even after they’re smashed, burned, or buried. In the meantime, officials encourage people to wash their fruits and veggies well before eating.
According to Live Science, the parasite has historically been found in Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands, but it’s recently been expanding to the US, Africa, and beyond. (From guy’s mouth, doctor pulls longest tapeworm he’s ever seen.) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Les Gales de Mata is one of the oldest major festivals in Pla de l'Estany
The Gales de Mata are one of the most successful and oldest celebrations in the Pla de l'Estany region (Girona).
In 1890 it was called the gathering of Mata and it was held on August 16, later it was called Gales de Mata.
The Gazeta Banyolina magazine of October 1, 1916 already mentions the Gales de Mata (page 3).
Currently, the Gales de Mata are held on the 4th Sunday of August and include a night walk, quick drawing contest, havaneras, solemn service, dance and brotherhood dinner.
In the fifties of the 20th century, the service was only held in the church of Sant Andreu, around which there were festive events, the sweet aperitif and the sardanes (it was danced in the era of Can Pedrera, in the era of Can Xargay, in ca l'oncle Xato or in Plaça del Gra). On the last day of Gales de Mata, people used to go to the Salt Dalmau fountain for have a snack. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If you are buying a property, you may have heard about title insurance. Title insurance protects the buyer from any threats to his/her ownership in the future. This may include debts, liens against the property or unknown heirs. Buyers are typically advised to buy Boca Raton title insurance. But there are some things you should know about this insurance before you buy:
It is not necessary to buy title insurance. The law does not make it mandatory. You can buy a house without the assurance of title insurance. However, any losses in such cases will be completely borne by you.
While title insurance is not mandatory, you may have to buy title insurance if you are looking for a mortgage lender to finance your investment. Most lenders will demand title insurance to protect their own investment. After all, any threat to your ownership will jeopardize their returns.
Choose your title insurance firm carefully. You can compare the different terms offered by different companies. This will give you an idea about the costs and usual protective terms offered under the insurance.
Boca Raton title insurance is a one-time cost. Unlike other insurances, you will not be required to pay premiums every year.
Find out if the insurance company offers multi-tiered pricing on their policies. Many insurance companies offer standard and enhanced policies. Some of these firms will only quote the enhanced price and not disclose the standard pricing. This is because the standard pricing is lower.
Even if you did not buy title insurance at the time of buying a property, you will probably ask to buy one if you plan to refinance.
Boca Raton title insurance companies fight aggressively to get customers. As a buyer, you must educate yourself on the different options in the market and look for the most favorable terms. You can also ask for discounts or negotiate with the insurance company. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Growth in Wyoming’s outdoor recreation industry helped buoy economy, state agency manager says
December 15, 2021Wyoming’s outdoor recreation industry played a part in keeping the state’s economy afloat during the pandemic, according to recent industry data.
A report by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis showed that as the economy tanked during 2020, the outdoor industry’s overall contribution to the state’s gross domestic product (GDP) went down slightly, but many sectors within the industry saw growth.
“That helped us, and it alone was enough to offset the general economic downturn we saw but it did help buoy things a bit – it was a mitigating factor if you will,” Chris Floyd, manager of the Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation, told The Center Square.
As a percentage of GDP, the industry went from 4.2% to 3.4% of the total, or from $1.69 billion in 2019 to $1.25 billion in 2020, according to the Wyoming Business Report.
The sectors that grew the most were boating, fishing and off-highway vehicle (OHV) use, according to Floyd, followed by camping, mountain biking and hiking. The bureau’s report put boating and fishing’s growth impact at 79%, the Wyoming Business Report said.
Purchases of outdoor recreation equipment skyrocketed last year as well, Floyd pointed out, which means the barriers to access for those people are down so they are likely to continue a higher rate of use.
One of the biggest lessons learned from the pandemic, according to Floyd, is that people value the outdoors, especially when the country is in crisis.
“We certainly saw that in the Great Depression era, and that was when there was a huge buildout of our recreation infrastructure in the country,” he said.
He noted that effect was amplified in the pandemic as the outdoors also appeared to become the safest place to go.
He added, however, that though this time they have learned Wyoming’s outdoor recreational infrastructure is not up to snuff.
“In terms of capacity, in terms of resilience with increased use, in terms of the ability to operate and maintain these spaces – all of these things were challenged during the pandemic,” Floyd said.
Floyd said he’s looking forward to seeing how funding from channels like the Great America Outdoors Act and the American Rescue Plan Act help address those challenges and build out the infrastructure.
“The trend for more visitor use on public lands and recreation is just going to keep going up over time as the population goes up – even just at that baseline – so we’ve got to get a hold of all the best management practices and all the investments we’re going to need to maintain a high level of use,” he said.

Motor Vehicle Accident Attorneys in Laredo TX
Laredo, Texas is a lively border town, rich with history, entertainment, and culture. Whether learning about the city’s Mexican heritage at the Republic of the Rio Grande Museum or traveling to see some reggaeton at the Sames Auto Arena, there is plenty to do for locals and tourists alike. However, the myriad of options can unfortunately lead to increased traffic, negligence, and inevitably, collisions.
The immediate aftermath of a collision can be confusing and overwhelming. This is where motor vehicle accident attorneys in Laredo TX can help. In this article, we'll explore how a car accident lawyer can help you get the compensation you need to get back on your feet and the crucial role our Texas law firm, Carabin Shaw, can play in your recovery
Understanding the Legal Processes After a Car AccidentAfter a car accident, there are many options in terms of legal next steps. Some of the most common are listed below. However, we highly recommend that you first consult our legal team before proceeding down any of these paths without adequate support and representation.
Negotiating with Insurance CompaniesOne essential step involves negotiating with insurance companies, both the at-fault driver's provider and possibly your own. These negotiations aim to secure settlements covering medical expenses, property damage, and other losses.
Filing a Personal Injury LawsuitAnother common avenue is a personal injury lawsuit. This typically involves evidence gathering, complaint filing, and potential trial proceedings if settlement talks are unsuccessful.
Mediation or ArbitrationAlternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or arbitration, might be employed for quicker and cost-effective resolutions outside of court.
The specific legal processes can vary widely based on the circumstances and parties involved. Consulting an experienced Laredo motor vehicle accident lawyer can help you navigate these processes effectively to ensure the best possible outcome for your specific case.
Representation Means Higher CompensationNumerous studies have demonstrated that individuals who are represented by experienced attorneys tend to recover significantly more compensation than those who navigate the legal process alone. This discrepancy in outcomes can be attributed to several key factors:
- A Texas auto accident attorney will know how to assess damages, considering not only immediate medical expenses and property damage but also long-term consequences like ongoing medical treatments or lost future earnings.
- In negotiations with insurance companies, attorneys generally have insider knowledge on the tools and calculations used and can counter their estimates.
- Attorneys can leverage their network of experts, such as accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals, and economists, to strengthen the case.
- Attorneys at larger law firms have a support team to help navigate all the moving pieces and ensure that all avenues for relief have been exhausted.
Selecting the right attorney for your motor vehicle accident case is crucial. An experienced Laredo motor vehicle accident lawyer can help you navigate the complex aftermath of a collision and get the compensation you deserve.
After contacting our team at Carabin Shaw, we start by providing all potential clients with a free initial consultation, allowing you the necessary time and space to discuss your situation, ask questions, and determine possible next steps.

Back in his home state in 1967, Shelby organized the first-ever chili cook-off in the mining ghost town of Terlingua, transforming it into sacred Texas ground. What began as a non-stop party of fire-breathing chiliheads morphed into an annual, world-famous championship. So Shelby and fellow judge C.V. Wood founded the International Chili Society (ICS).
But while everybody was fussin' and wranglin' over who claimed the best chili recipe, Shelby knew the simple truth: it really only matters to the person who's eating it. Ever the entrepreneur, he began giving away his own chili fixin’s, handing the stuff out in brown paper bags he designed over a friend's kitchen table – and it grew so popular that by the sixth ICS cook-off, "Carroll Shelby's Original Texas Chili Kit" was on the market. Today you'll find Carroll Shelby's
Original Texas Brand Chili Kit in a box, still sporting his legendary Texas flair and his original philosophy:

Ray at Castle Motors has been taking care of my two cars for 5 years. Before meeting Ray, I felt trapped by the constant “recommendations” of dealer-based auto service – I felt ripped off each time I went for an oil change! Ray is one of the few mechanics that will give an honest diagnosis of my car and charge fairly for his work. I always drive away with confidence that my car is safe and my investment is sound. -Scott, Bristol, CT
Ray Clavette is a throwback to a simpler time when a mechanic was a trusted friend: After years of going to places like Jiffy Lube, Sears, and Midas, I went to Castle Motors for a major repair to my Ford Fusion. My friend recommended Ray and after a smooth, affordable and even educational process, Ray and his team got my car back on the road–and operating even better than before. I highly recommend Castle Motors. -Bruce M.

The City of Anna
Anna, Texas is a community of almost 12,000 people located in northern Collin County, directly north of Dallas on Highway 75. Anna is what Jessica Perkins, Economic Development Director for the City of Anna, calls, “A traditional small town that offers residents what they need to live Monday through Thursday.” As a town that is located near the major connectors of Highway 75 and Highway 121, Anna is a bedroom community that allows residents to live in “…a smaller community, while being close enough to the big cities to work and shop,” notes Perkins.
What Makes Anna Unique?
“Something that I hear residents say that they love about Anna is that they can still see the stars at night,” says Perkins. Unlike other cities in Collin County, Anna is far enough away from Dallas and the Metroplex to still be “close to nature while being within 10 to 12 miles of the big city,” says Perkins. Anna also does not have any big box stores, but has many local businesses that allow the community to maintain its small town charm. Business activity is thriving and vibrant with over 60 new retail stores and restaurants opening since 2009. Despite the growth, Anna has managed to retain its small town values, open vistas, and friendly atmosphere.
Anna ISD is a recognized school district that consists of two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. There are approximately 3,000 students currently being educated by Anna ISD, which is a much smaller student body than other cities in Collin County. “We have a great school district here in Anna, and the kids are not just a number,” notes Perkins.
UNLIKE OTHER CITIES IN COLLIN COUNTY, ANNA IS FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM DALLAS AND THE METROPLEX TO STILL BE CLOSE TO NATURE, WHILE BEING WITHIN 10 TO 12 MILES OF THE BIG CITY.
Slayter Creek Park has a variety of recreational amenities including: A splash pad, four ball fields, two tennis courts, two basketball goals, two large multi-purpose athletic fields, a 3,600 foot walking trail, a skateboard park, a playground, horseshoe pits, a shuffleboard court, a large pavilion, and a concession building with restrooms.
The Slayter Creek trail includes a 4,400 foot walking trail that connects the Slayter Creek Park trail to Hackberry Drive. Look for the coyote tracks at “Coyote Crossing” along the southern half of the trail. This is a portion of a larger trail system that will eventually run almost the entire length (north to south) of the city. It will ultimately connect many of Anna’s residential and recreational areas together with pedestrian access.
The site includes a natural spring that feeds a small man-made pond. The area around the spring and pond is heavily wooded. A large open area is located along the west side of the tract, providing lots of room for flying kites, playing with Frisbees, and other passive recreational activities. While the majority of the park will remain in its natural state, amenities will include walking trails (with three bridges), picnic tables, benches, and a fishing pier at the pond. Future phases of the park will involve the construction of more trails, a permanent parking area, and possibly a dog park.
Experience unique shops and restaurants in Downtown Anna! The City of Anna has drafted a Downtown Development Plan to revitalize the historic downtown area of Anna. Come shop, eat, and enjoy!
The future of Anna includes 63 square miles, with a “build out” expected population of 250,000. Anna will have a master planned parks system with pedestrian, bike, and equestrian trails that will connect all parts of the city. Included in this plan, is the preservation of undeveloped open spaces, a revitalized downtown, a healthy local economy, and an award winning school district.

We heard all the negative talk concerning Gordon Hayward in the first months of the season. He was too slow - too hesitant. He will never be the same player he was in Utah. He needs to get more aggressive. He is a liability for the Celtics. Really? For the five months (November through March) his only negative plus/minus was a minus-0.1 (minus-f---ing 0.1) in January. The other four months showed +4.5, +5.9, +4.3 and + 3.8.
But what is really noteworthy is his improved shooting over the December-through-March span. Hayward's accuracy has improved each month and sits at 55.0% for March.
Gordon Hayward’s FG% by month
December - 37.0%
January - 46.5%
February - 51.3%
March - 55.0%
For the past four months, Gordon's non-scoring production has been consistent at about 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. His scoring average has also been fairly consistent at 10-12 PPG, but obviously his efficiency has continually improved.
But the real clincher here is his Gordon's confidence in what he can accomplish. He has never relied on high-level athleticism to get the job done, but his cleverness allows him to lull the opposition into complacency and bolt to the hoop or launch a jumper. My take is that the injury no longer affects his physical performance to any degree.
Gordon has always been a heady player, and that is the tool he used while making his comeback. Well, that comeback is nearly complete, and Hayward is ready for post-season action. Don't expect the numbers he put up with the Utah Jazz. They aren't needed on this team. But expect he will be vital in Boston's success going forward. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
New Delhi, Mar 18 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a miscellaneous application filed by Adani Power Rajasthan Ltd, now merged with Adani Power Ltd, seeking to get an outstanding late payment surcharge (LPS) of Rs 1,376.35 crores from Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JVVNL).
The court action comes amid the modified 2020 judgment concerning a power purchase agreement between the two companies.
The Bench comprising Justice Aniruddha Bose and Justice Sanjay Kumar held that filing a miscellaneous application was not the appropriate legal course taken by the Power company to claim the late payment surcharge and imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on Adani Power, to be deposited with the Supreme Court Legal Aid Committee.
The Apex Court said that the order passed in 2022 directing JVVNL to pay the LPS to Adani Power did not hold a binding effect, as it was merely a prima facie observation and not part of the hearing stage.
The matter pertains to a judgment passed by the Supreme Court in 2020 in which it upheld the decisions of the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission and the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity. According to the judgement, while Adani Power was entitled to a compensatory tariff, it was not eligible for the Late Payment Surcharge (LPS).
The Adani Power then filed a miscellaneous application before the Supreme Court today, seeking the LPS from JVVNL due to delays in receiving compensation mandated by the 2020 judgment which was dismissed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Today, there are many services, platforms, tactics, and even new emerging AI solutions for people to market their business or organization. What is happening is that these marketing solutions are selling to people like myself (marketers) or business owners to articulate the value they can bring their business. Keep in mind that while new solutions will come about daily, there are tried and true marketing principles. One that I learned myself during an intro to marketing class was the 4 Ps of Marketing.
The 4 Ps of marketing are pretty simple: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion, which show that marketers often approach a project, business, or idea from many different angles. Generally, people tend to think of Marketing as Advertising as while we can see Promotion is a part of marketing, it does not make up the whole of work. So let's break each of them down.
The 4 Ps of Marketing:
As you can see, each of these areas needs attention, effort, and work to have a well-rounded marketing strategy and the tactics to follow each of the needs for a well-released product or service offering. Developed by Neil Borden in the 1950s, who also served as a professor of advertising at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, the Marketing Mix and the 4 P's will continue to guide business and marketers all over.
How can you apply some of these fundamental principles to your business or marketing strategy today?

Plywood kitchen design gives you something very individual and beautifully unique to other kitchen styles. With its exposed layers and modern quality, its popularity is gaining steady momentum.
When researching your design options for your new kitchen, you will have no doubt come across many examples of this growing trend. Its design has an untimely appeal and can be blended effortlessly into both modern and traditional settings.
Plywood kitchen design has the ability to create refreshing, unique finishes, enhanced by the exposed layers and modern characteristics of this breathtaking material.
The style is becoming an extremely popular option, and we’ve already created bespoke plywood kitchens in homes across Oxfordshire and the surrounding area.
Our expert kitchen designer will find a way to showcase the best of this style in the space available – we create design ideas for both small plywood kitchens and large plywood kitchens, and every space that we create will be refined with functionality, practicality, and stylish finishing touches. Want to know how your own space would take shape? Visit our Oxfordshire kitchen showroom to explore our plywood kitchen design range.
Want to know exactly why this material is becoming the go-to for kitchen renovations? Learn more about what a bespoke plywood kitchen can add to the most used space in your home.
Plywood kitchens are designed to be strong, long-lasting, and built for everyday life. The manufacturing process of plywood is formed through a number of thin real wood veneers, bonded alternately to one another at 90 degrees. The result is a super sturdy surface that is hard-wearing enough for the busiest family homes, all while boasting a unique finish.
While there are distinctive kitchen styles to choose from, plywood kitchens have the ability to convey a range of different aesthetics. They work as the perfect canvas for a Scandi-inspired modern plywood kitchen, but they also work well in heritage style spaces. We’ve also had our own fair share or super colourful plywood kitchens, so there’s no limit to the possibilities that this chic, timeless style can lend itself to.
Kitchen design has embraced sustainability in many ways, and the plywood spaces that we create are a prime example of this – we only choose sustainably sourced hardwoods for our birch ply.
The result is beautiful, sustainably produced components for your handmade kitchen – from designing a striking plywood kitchen worktop, to designing plywood kitchen cabinets that add functionality to your space. The production process for the plywood we use across our projects also generates significantly less waste than traditional methods. We also repurpose any additional offcuts to bring future sustainable plywood kitchen designs to life.
You’ll find lots of plywood styles in our kitchen projects showcase, giving you a great place to pick up some styling inspiration when it comes to planning your own refresh These plywood kitchens are all crafted with our commitment to quality in mind, and we only use premium, responsibly sourced plywood for our projects. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Board of Directors
Christina Smith - President
I moved from West Virginia to Central Ohio in 1984, I have an entrepreneurial background, and opened a Group Benefits Insurance Brokerage in 2005 after working in the insurance industry for many years prior. In December of 2013, I decided to exit the group health insurance industry and sold my brokerage. I was excited to return to and pursue my passion for real estate and am now enjoying my career as a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. I have earned, from the National Association of Realtors, three designations, Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR®), and Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®). For which I am immensely proud of. I have been in this community since 2014 with my husband, Dennis Smith, who has lived here since 1993. I look forward to continuing to serve our residents.
Paul Tumidolsky - Vice President
I grew up outside of Cincinnati and moved to Pickerington in the summer of 2007 with my wife Becky and two kids, Jacob, and Drew. I have served for over 29 years in the US Army and Ohio Army National Guard where I currently work providing full-time unit support. I have a BFA from the University of Cincinnati and an MBA from Capital University. As a CVCA trustee, I encourage everyone to get involved in our community, whether as a board member, helping to improve the entrances, the green space, helping with the yard sale, special events we may hold, or anywhere you see a need for improvement.
Adam Trowbridge - Treasurer
I moved to the neighborhood in November 2020 with my wife Courtney and four-year-old daughter, Ava. In late October we welcomed our second child Arlo. I work as a property adjuster for Nationwide Insurance and have over 10 years’ experience in the banking industry. I believe my experience makes me an excellent addition to the board of trustees. I will continue to work to improve our neighborhood anyway possible. I would like to see more community activities to make this community the best community in Violet Township.
Diane Keafer - Secretary
I moved to our subdivision in 2000, working for American Electric Power in Commercial Operations downtown, after a brief stay at a consulting firm. As a mechanical engineer, I spent most of my prior career in the construction and operation of generating plants and retired near the end of 2020. Given that, and the isolation of 2020, the friendly waves and greetings of neighbors and friends (and kids and pets) was especially appreciated, and exemplified the solidarity of our neighborhood, and was a reminder of how we all need to stick together. I am a native of Western PA, I remain loyal to the Steelers and Penguins, although I have no hobbies of note, unless you count the occasional jog through the neighborhood, or just mowing the grass, plus the numerous projects around the house.
Janet Flaherty - Cooresponding Secretary
I am originally from Youngstown and moved to Columbus in 1987. My husband Tim and I have been residents of Chevington Village for 28 years. We have two grown children, Sean and Sarah, who are both graduates of Pickerington North. I obtained my Paralegal Certificate from Capital University Law School and am employed in the Legal Services Department at Nationwide Children’s Hospital as a Contracts Administrator. I became involved with the civic association to maintain consistency and conformity with the deeds so that the neighborhood keeps its aesthetic appeal and property value. Because we are nestled among newer subdivisions, I would like to see our 1970’s deed restrictions updated to parallel neighboring subdivisions and current times. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Co-op members are not landlords or tenants. As co-operative owners, members work together to govern their association and manage their homes to foster strong communities.
Members elect a board of directors from among themselves to govern the co-op’s operations. Most co-ops also contract with managers to handle the daily operations and maintenance of their homes.
The board is elected by and accountable to the co-op’s members. Directors are volunteers who have a legal obligation to act honestly, in good faith, and in the best interests of the co-op. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Ultimate Guide to Beef Bone Broth: Benefits, Recipe, and Uses
Beef bone broth has gained immense popularity in recent years, and for good reason. This nutrient-rich elixir is packed with collagen, amino acids, and essential minerals that offer numerous health benefits. Whether you're looking to improve your gut health, boost your immune system, or simply enjoy a delicious, warming beverage, beef bone broth is a fantastic choice. In this blog, we'll explore the benefits of beef bone broth, share an easy recipe, and discuss various ways to incorporate it into your diet.
What is Beef Bone Broth?
Beef bone broth is a savory liquid made by simmering beef bones, often with meat still attached, along with vegetables, herbs, and spices for an extended period. This slow cooking process helps to extract the maximum amount of nutrients, resulting in a rich, flavorful broth that is both nourishing and delicious.
Health Benefits of Beef Bone Broth
Beef bone broth is renowned for its gut-healing properties. The gelatin in the broth helps to restore the strength of the gut lining, reducing inflammation and promoting a healthy digestive system. It's particularly beneficial for those suffering from leaky gut syndrome or other digestive issues.
Rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, beef bone broth supports the immune system. The amino acids found in the broth, such as arginine, glutamine, and cysteine, also play a crucial role in boosting immunity and reducing inflammation.
Joint and Bone Health:
The collagen and gelatin in beef bone broth help to maintain healthy joints and bones. Regular consumption can alleviate joint pain and improve overall joint function, making it a great option for athletes and those with arthritis.
Collagen is a key component of healthy skin. Consuming beef bone broth can improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and promote a youthful appearance. It's a natural and effective way to support skin health from the inside out.
At Chops & Steaks we make Beef Bone Broth using fresh halal beef bones and ingredients such as peeled onions, cloves of garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, apple cider vinegar, fresh herbs thyme and rosemary. We do not add salt to the broth, as this can be added to the dish you are making according to taste. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

These drawings focus on the human figure through phases of gesture. I create a narrative based on physical language, the expansion and contraction of multiple interactions inherent in the body, rather than through facial identification. The poses and lighting allude alternately to the motion or absolute stillness of time.
The difficult athletic postures and dramatic illumination distort and exaggerate shapes and proportions, building a sense of tension and anxiety within the work.
The medium of charcoal is ideally suited to my approach due to its transient physicality: reflecting motion, change, and non-permanent transformation. There is a sense of history within the medium, remembering every mark, erasure, blur, and overlap.
The works vary in size displaying either an entire figure or extreme cropped sections of the body, and reflect personal experiences based on the essence of psychological darkness; anger, depression, isolation, and questioning self-worth. The work is meant to be confrontational to the viewer, bringing those thoughts or questions to the surface. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Britain’s reality TV circuit may have just hit a new low. This week, a UK porn star known as the UK MILF, aka Rebecca More, embarked on a trip across Britain. It’s not the trip that is particularly sordid or kinky, but the reality show Ms. More plans to film during her days on the road. The show doesn’t have a title yet, but More calls it her “Sex Tour of England.” That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, she is filming sex with strangers in a van whilst on the road in order to create what she feels is the ultimate reality competition series.
The tour began last Friday and will run through the end of October. More plans to stop in Leeds, Southhampton, London and several other locations. According to The Daily Beast, the new reality show concept has brought a lot of attention. Around 2,000 people signed on to try to “Do Rebecca” when she headed to Birmingham for her first stop.
The stunt has blown up via the hashtag #DoRebecca on Twitter. Anyone can apply, but only a few get to actually spend time in the van with the porn star. The episodes will then air on the Television X site. While the show has earned plenty of attention thus far, it hasn’t all been positive attention. Some local politicians have been outspoken regarding plans for the van to come into their town. But plenty of dudes have already lined up to join Rebecca on her XXX-rated tour.
The U.S. hasn’t shied away from wacky premises like the “Sex Tour of England.” Here in the States, we have shows like Dating Naked on VH1, where random people strip down and go on dates in the nude to see if they can find a love match. (Apparently, this has worked, as one Dating Naked couple even got hitched.) However, if you think having sex with strangers in vans is crossing a line, you’ll be pleased to learn that More’s new reality competition series will air on Television X, a popular adult entertainment channel who also has a porn parody called Down On Abbey that’s not quite as clever as Bob’s Boners or Porks and Recreation.
More’s tour does seem like a new reality low, but I think it helps to think of it as more of a porn endeavor rather than an actual TV series that is readily available to anyone with a remote. At least, it helps a little.

Researchers from Laval University in Québec, Canada, analysed how the two different forms of training (high and low intensity) affected body fat levels and muscle metabolism. The study took a group of young adults and divided them into two groups, the first was subjected to a 20-week endurance-training programme while the second did a 15-week high-intensity interval-training (HIIT) program.
Interestingly, they found that the group performing lower intensity cardio burnt more calories on average (120.4 mega joules) compared to the HIIT group (57.9 mega joules), muscle biopsies and body fat measurements revealed the HIIT programme resulted in greater fat loss and an increased metabolism.
This led researchers to conclude that high intensity training favours negative energy and lipid balance to a greater extent than exercise of low to moderate intensity. Moreover, the metabolic adaptations taking place in the skeletal muscle in response to the HIIT programme appear to favour the fat loss process.
Winner: high intensity
Insulin is required for the body to process glucose and though it has anabolic muscle building properties (especially post workout since it ‘shuttles’ nutrients to the muscles), too much of it has been shown to increase body fat. Insulin sensitivity is a term that relates to how well your body responds to the hormone insulin and, by extension, how well it processes glucose and stores body fat.
If you have ‘good’ insulin sensitivity your body will only require a small amount of insulin to process glucose, which means your body is less prone to storing body fat, however those with ‘bad’ insulin sensitivity require more insulin to process glucose, which makes them more likely to store body fat. One thing to bear in mind is that regardless of a person’s natural insulin sensitivity, exercise does improve it.
Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia, USA, took a group of obese adolescents with poor insulin sensitivity and divided them into two groups. One underwent a moderate intensity training routine for 30 weeks while the other did a high intensity training routine for the same length of time – both groups also received nutritional advice. Insulin sensitivity improved in both groups, but especially in the group performing high intensity training.
Winner: high intensity
It’s widely agreed among strength and conditioning experts that low to moderate training can have a positive effect on your immune system, while high intensity training can have a negative effect. This is because high intensity training causes oxygen usage to skyrocket, increasing lactic acid accumulation in the muscles and prompting the body to pull alkaline reserves from bones. This can result in the immune system’s efficiency being reduced for anything from three to 72 hours. So, if you train often and are susceptible to illness it may be better to reduce the amount of high intensity sessions in your workout schedule and replace them with something of low to moderate intensity.

Be careful. A community hang out coffeehouse is nice and cool if you are the customer. But lingering crowds don't ring up the register. You can be "packed" with 20 people lingering for hours, some may even be internet freeloaders, and your piggy bank has nothing to show for. Unless you can turn those 20 seats so they give you $100+ an hour you will need to go customers. You need money which means you need volume, otherwise don't do it.hbperk said:My plan is to only have about 20 seats, and I do not anticipate much of a morning rush - more of a hanging out/lingering type of crowd. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Workwear and uniforms are one of Nathalie Marchal’s passions: objects that have a function, a meaning, a story attached to them. Here, the multi-pocket bag evokes the world of dreams and exploration, that you can happily twist with a mischievous
cap or a chic
scarf... When it comes to shoes, there is no short age of options, and all very edgy. Musician’s
boots inspired by the 60’s rise high on the ankle to offer us the grace of a “Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds”; glam rock
shoes from the 70’s beat the measure in patent burgundy to make it swing; as for the T-bars, what a wonderful compromise to have heels that are comfortable, a delicate strap, a straight upper and the right height to dance the tango — or chase after your desires! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

When the layout/layer scale is different from 1 the PositionToTile expression returns wrong tile index.
Attach a Capx
Description of Capx
A tilemap that is drawn when the mouse is pressed.
Steps to Reproduce Bug
Operating System and Service Pack
Windows 7 32bits
Construct 2 Version ID
Use MouseX(0) and MouseY(0) (or MouseX("Layer 0") and MouseY("Layer 0")) instead of MouseX and MouseY. This is not a bug, this is a feature.
— is right - you need to pass a layer parameter to the expressions for scaling to be taken in to account.
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
While this makes sense for a single layer scaled, I don't think it's an expected behavior for changing the layout scale.
The MouseX and MouseY should return layout coordinates scaled according to the layout, as the manual states:
Return the position of the mouse cursor in game co-ordinates. This is (0, 0) at the top left of the layout. It changes to reflect scrolling and scaling. However, if an individual layer has been scrolled, scaled or rotated, these expressions do not take that in to account - for that case, use the layer versions below.
As the manual describes, the specified layer positions MouseX(0) should be only used when a single layer has a different scaling than the others, otherwise MouseX should cover it.
So it doesn't seems to be a problem with tilemap's PositionToTile, but the MouseX and MouseY not accounting for layout scaling.
Ashley Shouldn't it account for?
Maybe have it default to whatever layer 0 is.
Oh, you're right - the X and Y expressions were supposed to take in to account the layout scale, but the code was wrong. It should be fixed in the next build for both Touch and Mouse, and layout scale and angle, if you don't pass a layer. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Lately, I’ve been trying to use up my free mp3 credit on Amazon. There just aren’t that many new songs I like that have lyrics I don’t mind my daughter repeating.

Corte-Clean is fantastic. Our composite decking looks brand new. It was covered with mold, probably due to our harsh Wisconsin winters and the fact that it is mostly shaded all day. If you follow the directions, the mold and soil brushes right off. It took old-fashioned elbow crease and some prep time, but our results are worth it! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Our guide to the best Heritage Open Days in the North, by Hayley Flynn.
This year’s Heritage Open Days are just around the corner, and while this nationwide architectural love-in might not be on quite the same scale as Glastonbury or The Olympics, getting a place inside some of the North West’s most coveted locations can be quite something. Here’s our guide to the best secrets spaces the weekend has to offer.
Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbarn. German artist and pop art pioneer, Kurt Schwitter began the conversion of his Cumbrian stone barn into a work of art in 1947. The result, called the Merzbarn, is nestled into a rural Lake District valley in Elterwater; it was Schwitter’s intention to create a modernist grotto, each angular wall an art installation in itself. Schwitter died a year later with only one wall of the barn complete but the Merzbarn is now recognised as one of Britain’s modern art landmarks – the original wall was salvaged and is housed at the Hatton Gallery, Newcastle. Cylinders, Elterwater, Ambleside, Cumbria, LA22 9JB. 11am-4:30pm Sat 8 – Sun 9 September 2012.
Fairfield Moravian Settlement. The Fairfield Moravian settlement in Droylsden is a 200 year-old, self-contained model village. The Grade II listed site is nestled around a cobbled square, and almost unchanged in appearance. The late Georgian architecture is by “the father of American Architecture” Benjamin Henry La Trobe, who designed the United States Capitol building in Washington and was one of the first-formally trained architects to arrive in America. The community is one of only two in the UK. Fairfield’s Museum, Fairfield Square, Droylsden, M43 6AE. 11am-5pm Sat 8 September, 1pm-5pm Sunday 9 September.Tours run regularly throughout the weekend.
The Lutyens Crypt at Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. Architecture enthusiasts will need no more information than this: Edwin Lutyens is, to many, the greatest ever British architect. The Metropolitan Cathedral was designed as the second largest church in the world, complete with the world’s largest dome, a dome that would have been almost as large in diameter as that of the entire cathedral which exists today. Works began in 1933 but costs rocketed and by 1956 the design was abandoned; only the crypt had been completed. The design of the cathedral was subsequently taken over by Frederick Gibberd. Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, Merseyside, L3 5TQ. 10am-3:30pm Thu – Sat.
The Tin Tabernacle. St Antony’s Centre and Church in Old Trafford is the architectural result of a purpose-built town and an almost forgotten part of Manchester’s rich history. In 1889, American engineer and inventor, George Westinghouse built Trafford Village for his employees. In true American style, the streets are laid out in a grid formation and numbered instead of named. The Tin Tabernacle is a modest little church, clad in corrugated iron, and built as a temporary structure in 1904. Knowledge of this area, including its landmarks, is fading fast, so visit whilst you can. St Antony’s Centre, Eleventh Street, Trafford Park, Greater Manchester, M17 1JF. 10am-4pm Fri 7th September, 10am-2pm Sunday 9th September.
Gustaf Adolf Kyrka, The Seamen’s Church. During the 19th Century Liverpool was a major stop-off point for Scandinavians making the arduous journey across the seas to find their American dream. The number of dreamers was such that the priest whose duty it was to visit the emigrants’ ships soon found his rounds were impossible, and a Swedish seamen’s church was built. The site is one of just four octogonal churches in England and is of great architectural significance. 38 Park Lane, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 8HG. 2pm-6pm Thu – Sun.
None of the events listed in our guide require advance booking. Visit on the day, or for more details check with Heritage Open Days. Like exploring new places? The Merzbarn is also included in our alternative guide to the Lakes District.

BEAR LANE INSTALL
Innovative Modular Offices Under Disused Railway Arches
The Ringway Bear Lane build, which enabled redundant space beneath railway arches to be brought into productive use as offices and meeting rooms, was a complex project. Installing portable buildings in challenging subterranean conditions with restricted access in central London was the build’s key constraint. To capitalise on the space available beneath the railway arches through extremely tight access, the Cube team had to bring seven individual flat-packed units into position using a skate system, which were then joined together on-site.
The build consisted of:
- Large open plan office (17m x 6m)
- Two adjoining meeting rooms (8m x 4m each)
- Welfare unit with kitchen, toilets and shower
- Supervisor’s security office
“The very limited access made installing any building under these railway arches particularly challenging”, said Brandon Weston, Cube Modular’s MD. “With careful planning our experienced crew did an excellent job in transferring the units flat packed into position underground and completing the main building in just 3 days.”
When we won TfL’s HMpF Central Framework, we secured four railway arches as part of our solution to provide a Project Office and Rapid Distribution Hub to meet our clients’ needs.
We were looking for an innovative solution for both our office and staff welfare at this site, and Cube Modular provided a ‘flat pack’ approach to meet our design needs. The solution removed all our access issues, reduced installation time and enabled us to provide good quality working space for our staff.
Check out the installation below:

Alberto Contador, winner of this year's Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España, crashed during the ACP Criterium near Madrid on Sunday. Doctors released the Spaniard from the hospital following a check up that determined him unharmed, despite bruises and scrapes.
"I am doing well, I have some superficial scrapes on my face and shoulder. It was less than what I initially thought," said Contador to Marca.
"The crash was hard despite the fact that we were going slow. It is not a big thing."
The criterium was in honour of Olympic track gold medallist Joan Llaneras. As well as the 2007 Tour de France winner, other participants in the race were Alejandro Valverde, 2008 Tour winner Carlos Sastre and Olympic champion Samuel Sánchez.
Contador will travel to Tenerife at the end of this month for a Team Astana training camp. He will meet his 2009 teammates, including Lance Armstrong. It will be the duo's first meeting since the American announced his comeback.

The Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported in its Friday edition that the antidoping laboratory of Barcelona has detected traces of EPO in eight of the bags of blood analyzed for the Operación Puerto investigation. The lab's report was sent to the judge involved in the affair, but it did not identify any racers implicated by the results. The bags were among those found in Madrid by the Spanish national Guardia Civil earlier in 2006.
According to the Spanish newspaper El País, "Although the judge sent 99 bags for the analysis, they only examined the most suspicious ones, and in eight of them, high amounts of recombinant EPO were detected. In the report, no riders are identified by name, only the numbers and the codes used by Eufemiano Fuentes." El País clarified that "the judge requested analysis only of those bags which contained plasma, but not those ones which contain red cells." The Barcelona lab is accredited by the International Olympic Committee and by WADA.
Eufemiano Fuentes's lawyer, Julián Pérez Templado, commented to El Mundo, "We have no official results from the Barcelona lab," and reminded that "the traces of EPO in the blood bags do not prove that any crime against the public health has been committed." Fuentes is one of eight persons accused in the ongoing investigation. Pro racers allegedly visited Dr. Fuentes' clinic to have blood extracted for doping or to collect performance-enhancing drugs.

In what was a day for the sprinters, Lorena Wiebes captured the elite women's road race title at the European Championships. Through pure speed and power, Wiebes out-sprinted Italians, world champion Elisa Balsamo and Rachele Barbieri on the city streets in Munich.
The peloton caught a three-rider breakaway in the closing kilometres of the race as the nations with the fastest sprinters set up for a bunch sprint.
It was the Dutch versus Italy in the battle for positions as both nations displayed the most powerful and organised lead-out trains, each with seven riders in the final kilometre.
As they rounded a 180 roundabout, it was Italy that came out with five riders followed by the Netherlands that still had four riders in the mix.
Italy's train looked set to deliver Balsamo to the victory, however, Wiebes' teammates dropped her off, perfectly, on to the world champion's wheel.
Wiebes launched her sprint early and wide to the left side of the road, and in a head-to-head race to the line, she held off Balsamo to take the European Championships title.
“As expected the Italian train came up late in the final kilometre. We were on the left and they were on the right and I jumped across to them after some strong work by the team, and Floortje [Mackaij] and Charlotte [Kool] in the finale. I then just gave it everything to the line," Wiebes said.
"We really worked as a team and we had a really clear plan. The pressure was on today but I’ve had good practice at being the finisher with Team DSM so I just tried to stay calm. It’s special to take the win for the national team and win the jersey.”
How it unfolded
The women's field tackled a 128km route that started in Landsberg am Lech and traveled southeast toward Seeshaupt and then northward to finishing on circuits in Munich.
The undulating route offered an ascent of 1.3km with an average gradient of 6%, located at the 86km mark, and then the field entered the circuit at the 94km mark, completing two and half laps for a total of 26km of technical city circuits.
Omer Shapira (Israel) was the first rider to make a move, joined by Urška Žigart (Slovenia), and then Audrey Cordon-Ragot (France) and Elena Cecchini (Italy), and Stine Borgli (Norway).
Although the gap stretched out to two minute, the Dutch team, in the interest of a bunch sprint for Wiebes, pulled the race back together.
Three riders led the race by 16 seconds into the final kilometres; Lea Lin Teutenberg (Germany), Sheyla Gutierrez (Spain) and Juliette Labous (France).
The catch was made inside the final kilometres as the Dutch and Italian squads proved strongest in the lead-out bringing their sprinters into position for the bunch sprint.

Connecticut has proposed a fee on insurers backing fossil fuel projects, aiming to fund climate resilience efforts.
- Connecticut's legislation could make insurance companies pay for supporting fossil fuel projects, using the fees for climate resilience.
- The bill, having passed a state senate committee, targets the insurance industry's dual role in the climate crisis.
- Funds raised would support infrastructure like sea walls and urban flood protection, addressing the state's vulnerability to climate disasters.
"It’s important to begin to hold [insurers] accountable for how they’ve played it both ways in terms of climate change."
— Tom Swan, executive director of Connecticut Citizen Action Group
Why this matters:
This initiative is designed to mitigate the environmental impact of continued fossil fuel extraction and use, and to align insurance industry practices with global sustainability goals. By restricting insurance coverage, the bill seeks to make it more difficult and expensive for fossil fuel projects to operate, thereby accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources.
Three New England states have announced plans to jointly solicit bids for offshore wind projects in an attempt to curb costs and boost clean energy development.
In Canada, forest fires are most common from May to September. But federal officials say climate change has already led to longer and more intense wildfire seasons. State health officials said Monday they are preparing for that risk.
it is vitally important for our state both to grow our fisheries to abundance so there are more fish in the water for all to catch, and, at the same time, we need to prepare our fisheries and our management system for the rapid increase of climate change impacts.
Connecticut won’t achieve its 2030 climate targets if it leans on electric vehicles alone to lower transportation emissions. The state also needs to convince residents to drive less.
While heat is well-understood as a consequence of climate change, air quality is both cause and effect when it comes to the nexus with climate change. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
$48M contract to fund further development on military drone
Published 10:14 pm Friday, January 5, 2018
COLUMBUS (AP) — A drone maker has won a $48 million contract to continue developing its unmanned aerial vehicles in Mississippi and Virginia.
Local media in Mississippi report that the U.S. Air Force awarded the contract to Aurora Flight Sciences, which was bought by Boeing Co. in October.
Aurora’s twin-engine Orion aircraft can fly for more than 100 hours at a time carrying loads of more than 1,000 pounds.
The new contract funds further development of Orion vehicles in Columbus, Mississippi, and Manassas, Virginia.
U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker says the drone will help gather military information once it’s deployed. Wicker says he hopes mission-ready drones will start being produced sometime in 2019.
Aurora began operation in Mississippi in 2003 and now has almost 100 employees in Lowndes County. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A hospital in Kolkata, the capital of India's West Bengal state, has announced that it will no longer treat Bangladeshi patients, over alleged violence against Hindus and hatred towards India expressed by people in Bangladesh.The decision has been taken following incidents of disrespect towards the national flag of India by protesters in Bangladesh, said Subhranshu Bhakt, an official of JN Ray Hospital, located in the city's Manicktala area, yesterday (29 November), reports The Times of India.
"We have issued a notification that from today till an indefinite time we will not admit any Bangladeshi patient for treatment. This is primarily because of the insults they have shown towards India," Bhakt told news agency PTI on Friday.
He also urged other healthcare providers in Kolkata to take the same measure as a demonstration against the reported mistreatment of minorities in Bangladesh, reports TOI.
"Seeing the tricolour being insulted, we have decided to stop treating Bangladeshis. India has played an important role in their independence but despite that, we are witnessing anti-India sentiments. We hope other hospitals will support us and take similar steps," he added.
The relationship between Bangladesh and India is suffering some tension following the protests and violence that took place after the arrest and jailing of a Hindu community leader last week.
On 25 November, Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, former spokesperson of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (Iskcon) Bangladesh and a prominent figure in the Hindu community, was arrested in a sedition case filed by a BNP leader in Chattogram on 25 October.
Chinmoy aka Chandan Kumar Dhar, currently the spokesperson of Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagaran Jote, and 18 others were accused in the case for allegedly disrespecting Bangladesh's national flag by hoisting a saffron flag above it during a rally organised by the Bangladesh Sanatan Jagaran Mancha in the port city.
On 26 November, a Chattogram court denied Chinmoy's bail plea and sent him to jail. After the hearing, when Chinmoy boarded a prison van of the police, a mob -- mostly his supporters -- blocked the roads, triggering a clash in the court premises that lasted around 2.5 hours.
In protest against the attack and vandalism, Saiful and a group of lawyers took part in a procession. At that time, armed individuals chased them. As Saiful stumbled and fell, he was beaten up and hacked mercilessly by a group of attackers.
The lawyer was rescued from an alley next to Kotwali's Rangam Convention Hall at around 3:30pm and taken to Chattogram Medical College Hospital, where the on-duty doctors declared him dead.
Since then, demonstrations have been taking place in Chattogram and elsewhere around Bangladesh, demanding exemplary punishment of the killers and protesting misinformation being spread by some Indian media outlets over the violence.
Bangladesh on 26 November also expressed disappointment over a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs of India regarding Chinmoy's arrest. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

DAMA International Individual Central Members (called Individual Professional Members in the new by-laws) have gained new roles and responsibilities, reflecting the increased emphasis on individual contributions to the organization’s governance. Where under the previous by-laws, Individual Central Members were unable to nominate and vote for board positions, under the new by-laws, Individual Professional Members are eligible for election as an Officer or Director of DAMA-I and can nominate and vote for the President and five at Large Directors.
We invite you to visit the site and explore the available resources. Your feedback and engagement are vital as we move forward together. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Air Force awarded Canadian Commercial a $70 million deal for the Wescam Aggregate Services Plan. This contract provides for the continuation of contractor logistics support for the three configurations of L-3 Communications/Wescam MX Electro/Optical Infrared (EO/IR) Sensor System line replaceable units installed on the AC-130U/W/J. The AC-130U Spooky is the third generation of C-130 gunships. All gunships evolved from the first operational gunship, the AC-47, to the AC-119, and then the AC-130A which was the basis for the modern C-130 Hercules gunship. Work under the contract will take place in Florida and New Mexico. Estimated completion date is December 31, 2028.
Raytheon won a $55 million contract modification for engineering and technical services in support of the Evolved Seasparrow Missile and NATO Seasparrow Missile Systems programs.

The Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) or RIM-162 is a medium-range, surface-to-air missile. The missile is currently in service with the US Navy and some of the 12 Nato Sea Sparrow consortium nations. Work will take place in Arizona, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Spain, Australia and Greece. Estimated completion date will be in December 2022.

Gathering Precise Data with 3D Scanning
From tiny components to large accident sites, our experienced technical staff have the expertise to digitally capture objects and environments of nearly any shape and size. Using this captured data, we create highly-detailed full-color point clouds that can be rendered as pictures, or employed to create animations and physical models.
Whether in one of our labs or at an accident scene, we utilize scanners that capture millions of points of measurable data, documenting every real-world detail – from tiny features to areas as large as factories or multiple city blocks – all with stunning (in some cases sub-millimeter) accuracy.
3D laser scanning yields highly usable, high-quality data quickly. Dimensions, elevations, topologies, and coordinates can all be displayed from a variety of perspectives, allowing you to fully document and preserve a scene or compare the dimensions of an as-build part to its CAD in an informative, non-destructive manner. You can even revisit a scene or explore a damaged part in virtual reality using our VR systems.
The 3D data collected from our scanners is then used in modeling and fabrication, damage/deformation assessment, accident reconstruction, simulations, and animations. Demonstratives created using 3D data from our scanners can be relied upon to aid courtroom presentations, depositions, mediations, and arbitrations. They effectively convey pivotal information to clients, opponents, mediators, and jurors.
Benefits of 3D Laser Scanning:
Safe, unobtrusive, and rapid data collection method that can be used to preserve large scenes accurately and measurably
Reduces field measuring and conventional data collection time
No physical contact objects at the scene
Helps eliminate return visits because data capture covers the entire site with millions of measurable points
Reduces errors because on-site measurements can be confirmed in the digital data
Allows safe, detailed documentation of hard-to-reach places
Provides data for 2D plan views, 3D models, 3D renderings, data fly-through movies, VR, and 3D animations
Enables accurate reverse engineering of components
Provides a detailed means to compare as-build parts to as-designed specifications
The FARO Freestyle3D
One of the pieces of equipment that the technicians at ESi utilize is the FARO FreeStyle3D. The following video gives a glimpse into how the technology is used, and what the data scanned can be used for.
"The FARO Freestyle3D is a top-quality, high-precision, handheld scanner for professionals. It quickly and reliably documents rooms, structures and objects in 3D and creates high-definition point clouds. With unbeatable precision, it is suitable for all uses in which installations, properties or environments must be quickly measured from various perspectives." - Faro.com | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Daily DLP: Detroit Lions & Dallas Cowboys Reaction
Welcome to the Detroit Lions Podcast Daily DLP. Today Ash Thompson is giving you his reaction to the Detroit Lions game against the Dallas Cowboys. He was not able to watch the game live, so he has a different perspective than a lot of people who were caught up in the emotion of the game.
Obviously the Refs mangled the call, and the NFL’s efforts to double and triple down are problematic. But the game was not won and lost on that single play.

Walking into the lecture hall, on the campus of Auburn University my heart races, remembering my youth and adventures on a similar campus years ago.
Beekeepers from all walks of life, race, and socio-economic groups are present. They have heard the report of predators to our honeybees. Many still believe the people of God are the keepers of His Garden, and they have come to help save the bees. 70% of the bees in America are in hives managed by beekeepers.
The round man, with white wisdom streaking through strands of mahogany begins lecturing. He was once an engineer for the Air Force, fighting for our country – now he fights for the bees.
“If a Queen does not perform her job, the hive will begin to die. When that happens, her children will search for a new Queen to take her place. They find a replacement to fill the void of the job not being done,” he tells us.
The rest of his talk fades into the background as his phrase takes me down a different path.
Faces of children from our home, and the children we sponsor around the world slowly pass in front of my mind’s eye.
If we do not do the job as a parent, they will find another to follow, imitate, and even emulate.
We are created to be parented – Even Jesus calls God, The Father.
Our children want parents as mentors to guide them in the way they should go. They want fair and loving discipline to teach them about the ways of life. By doing this we fill their need to be seen and heard and raised in the way they should go.
Giving children guidance and teaching them wisdom is as important as giving them nutritious food to grow into adults.
When my daughter was a teen I remember heated arguments discussions we would have until we were both blue in the face and exhausted. I would try to impart wisdom, and as if in a tennis match, she would send my words back telling me how out of touch I am with the modern world.
Yet, later, when she was hidden with a phone to her head talking with friends, I could hear her imparting the same advice to her friends she argued with me about earlier. (As if it is an original idea she has thought up!)
To mothers – Be the Queen Bee of your home. Rule your children with love, wisdom and boundaries. They will fight against you but God’s Word will prevail!
“And they will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you,” ‘declares the Lord.’” (Jeremiah 1:19)

The NSW Digital Strategy roadmap shows how we will keep the strategy up to date and aligned to the NSW Government’s vision. Elements of the strategy, such as commitments and case studies, will help measure the progress of digital transformation across NSW.
On this page, we have outlined the plan for making sure the NSW Digital Strategy remains relevant to the rapidly changing digital landscape. This plan is broken up into ‘horizons’ that demonstrate what we will do and when.
The plan includes:
- A minor release every budget cycle to align with any significant shifts in the digital priorities of the NSW Government
- A major release every 18 months to reflect new digital Department strategies, technologies and trends.
To further demonstrate progress on the strategy, we will track and measure the progress of commitments every year.
Objective: Align to the NSW Performance and Wellbeing Framework and budget outcomes
- The NSW Government will introduce the NSW Performance and Wellbeing Framework in the 2025-26 Budget. This framework will allow the NSW Government to measure its delivery of services and track the overall quality of life of the people of NSW.
- We will align the strategy with the NSW Performance and Wellbeing Framework to continue to find opportunities for digital to improve the lives of people in NSW.
What this means for NSW
- Digital technology provides an opportunity to support the outcomes of the NSW Performance and Wellbeing Framework.
- We can measure the impact of digital on the delivery of outcomes identified in the framework.
Objective: Measure and track progress of commitments
- The commitments published as part of the NSW Digital Strategy will be measured and tracked annually.
- New progress will be published as part of the annual strategy update.
- We will update the NSW Digital Strategy to align with significant changes in the digital landscape, NSW Departments and 2025-26 budget outcomes.
What this means for NSW
- Provides visibility of the progress of key digital activities taking place across the NSW Government.
- Drives meaningful outcomes and benefits for the people of NSW as commitments are completed and new commitments are captured.
- Align digital priorities across NSW Government agencies and Departments to make sure the strategy remains relevant and timely.
If you’re working on a major digital or customer service reform that you believe should be included in the strategy, we would love to hear from you at email@example.com. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Newbies to marijuana may be unsure what to expect. After all, movies and pop culture have depicted being high on marijuana in a number of ways, from subtle to extreme. For every depiction of a calm, relaxed marijuana user, there is another that shows a hallucinating basket case.
People who have tried marijuana might not realize that it can impact your body in different ways, even if you have used it before. Different strains may be stronger than others and the method in which you imbibe can also impact the way it feels.
Since marijuana can create different feelings for different people, it is important to be aware of the potential ways that being high can impact your body.
Changes in Your Appetite, Memory, Mood and Sleep
Ever wonder why some of the first stereotypes of marijuana users are often snacking on Doritos or napping on the couch? Well, there is some truth to that. It may not be as exaggerated as pop culture makes it out to be, but marijuana can impact your appetite, memory, mood and sleep.
So, how can marijuana impact all of those areas? THC is similar to anandamide, a chemical that our brains naturally produces. This chemical controls appetite, memory, mood and sleep, so the cannabinoids in marijuana keep those neurons busy. That THC in marijuana is largely what leads to the feeling of being high.
Another typical behavior that is often associated with marijuana use is a lot of laughter. That giggly feeling is due to the dopamine that gets released in the brain when marijuana is used. Dopamine triggers the pleasure center of the brain, which can create a feeling of euphoria.
This feeling may happen right away when marijuana is smoked. If marijuana is ingested, the feeling happens gradually, but often lasts considerably longer.
Varied Physical Changes
One of the reasons why it is so important to be careful with marijuana is because of the physical changes that it can cause in the body. Marijuana can increase your heart rate. Some users feel anxiety or panic after using marijuana.
Again, the method that you choose to partake in marijuana may impact how you feel the various side effects. Age is another factor, as teenagers may be more susceptible to having marijuana impact their brain development.
However, it is also important to note that since marijuana is still illegal on a federal level, there has not been as much testing on it as other drugs. As marijuana becomes more accepted, the testing will likely become more robust. So even for regular marijuana users, there is still a lot to potentially learn. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

No matter how much you try to clean and maintain your floors, there’ll come a time when you need to replace them.
Old floorings will make your home look dated, and the grime is going to be harder to clean off as time goes by.
Renovating your floor is a great way to improve the look of your home. Aside from that, you can choose durable materials that require less maintenance and can last a long time.
Since there are plenty of options you could have when it comes to floorings, listed below are the things you should consider:
1. Choose A Versatile Design
When it comes to your flooring, you should always choose the one that will match the theme and color of your home.
Especially if you decide to change up everything, you must pick a floor design that should go well with your overall renovation plan.
Some types of flooring, however, are more versatile than others. For instance, wooden flooring for home is popular because it easily gives the home a clean and classic look.
With wood floorings, you can play with different design themes. You can have a classic, bohemian, rustic, mid-century modern, and even an industrial theme that you can freely play with.
Since wood floorings can fit a range of aesthetics, you don’t have to constantly update it when you renovate again after a few years.
2. Consider the Size of The Room
While having a dark floor looks impressive for its elegance and rare beauty, you might want to reconsider your thoughts for smaller spaces.
When you have a smaller space, using light colors for your flooring would help make the room look more spacious as this gives an airy ambiance.
You can also choose to use light bamboo flooring for a soft yet homey feel for your home.
3. Go for Durability
While there might be cheaper flooring options for those who are on a tight budget, you might just end up spending more in the long run due to frequent repairs and maintenance.
Hence, you should go for the flooring type or brand that offers better quality and durability. This way, you are guaranteed to enjoy your floor for decades without the constant need for repairs and replacements.
Apart from the flooring material, you shouldn’t forget to practice proper floor maintenance to extend its lifespan longer.
Ideally, you should lightly clean your floor every day and avoid spillage and heavy objects from falling on them which can cause breakage and damage.
4. Take Note of Maintenance Demands
If you’re eyeing a carpet type of flooring, you need to prepare for the maintenance it requires.
While they’re genuinely luxurious and comfortable, using carpet requires plenty of care and maintenance to keep it in good condition for as long as possible.
When you decide to go for a carpet, you need to do extra work and care to keep it clean and in good condition. Ideally, you should avoid spillage as the liquids could leave a stain on your carpet that could be very difficult to remove.
If you don’t want the trouble of vacuuming and cleaning your entire floor regularly, you might want to consider using tiles as they’re effortless to care for.
All you have to do is wipe them clean with warm water, and they can look shiny and brand-new again.
5. Check Your Climate
While having tiled floors look terrific as they’re easy to maintain and clean, they might not be your perfect option when you’re living in colder climates.
Tiles tend to adapt to coldness a lot better, which could help cool up the room faster.
While that may be ideal if you’re living in a tropical climate, it isn’t the best material for homeowners who live in areas that frequently experience harsh winters. In those cases, a carpeted flooring is a better choice.
Carpet floorings are more beneficial for families who live in colder regions. The warmth of the fibers helps keep the feet and toes comfortable.
It also helps circulate the warmth inside the home. However, you need to prepare for its care and maintenance if you want your carpet to be kept in good condition for a long time.
Renovating or changing your floor requires a lot of work, and you need to consider plenty of things. While aesthetics and appearance matter, you also need to think if it’s the perfect option for your household or should you go for a different material.
But above all else, you should always go for a flooring that can guarantee longevity so you can get your money’s worth and enjoy your renovated flooring for a long time. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Chef Gladys Nyoth's African Dinner
Born in Paris from Cameroonian parents, Gladys Nyoth decided to come to Los Angeles at the age of 15 to continue her education in Physics and start her acting career to pave a new way for herself and her family. In the midst of her journey, many obstacles and challenges led her to redesign her vision as Nyoth wanted to make sure that whatever she’d embrace would eventually lead her to make a difference within the African diaspora. In 2013, as she was becoming a full time actress and having to renounce to her education in Physics due to her former immigration status, Gladys chose to practice ownership of her life by investing in a restaurant concept that would bring her back to her primary purpose: being an advocate for Africa while promoting love and unity in this world.

Orlando, Fla - A new survey shows that tick populations are not only increasing in number but tick-borne diseases are showing up in every state in the country.
Orlando, Fla — A new survey shows that tick populations are not only increasing in number but tick-borne diseases are showing up in every state in the country.
The results, first presented during the 2008 North American Veterinary Conference (NAVC), were part of a voluntary national veterinary reporting system that was developed by IDEXX Laboratories of Westbrook, Maine.
Dr. Susan Little, a veterinary parasitologist at the Oklahoma State University's Center for Veterinary Health, reports that at least three tick-borne diseases, Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) and ehrlichiosis (E.canis) have been reported in every state in the country. The conclusions come from an analysis of 3 million data points gathered by IDEXX Laboratories from 2001 to mid-2007.
"This information is important because it indicates the significant degree to which people and pets are being exposed to tick-borne diseases, and therefore, the risk of developing some very serious illnesses," Little adds. "As veterinarians, we need to incorporate this information into our practice, continuing to stress the need for year-round tick control in dogs and the importance of routinely screening for ticks and tick-borne diseases."
Table 1: Percentage of Positive Test Results for Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis
Dr. Mike Paul, executive director of the Companion Animal Parasite Council, agrees.
"These diseases are ubiquitous. We have always believed they are somewhat uncommon in areas and very regionalized. This data is showing us that vector-borne disease is not as uncommon and not as localized as we thought," Paul tells DVM Newsmagazine.
Common tick species in North America causing the biggest problem include the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), the black-legged tick or deer tick (Ixodes scapularis in the East, Pacificus in the West), and the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus).
To better understand where these problem ticks are migrating, the testing results of domestic dogs from thousands of veterinary practices across the United States were compiled for this national prevalence study. Test results were generated from the company's reference laboratory network and through reported results from its SNAP 3Dx and SNAP 4Dx tests.
Some of the survey findings include:
Positive tests for Lyme disease were highest in the Northeast, while positive results for anaplasmosis were highest in the Midwest. In the Southeast, ehrlichiosis was most widely reported.
Numbers of Lyme-positive dogs in Connecticut (where 18 percent of the dogs were reported to test positive for Lyme) were from 50- to more than 200-fold greater than those in the southeastern border states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Little was surprised also by the high prevalence of infection detected in the western states of Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico.
Milder northern climates, urbanization and mobile human/pet populations are fueling the geographic movement of parasites and transmission of tick-borne diseases, experts say.
In the South, the rate of ehrlichia- positive dogs was more than twice the national average. Cases of ehrlichiosis due to the E. canis pathogen are considered more common in the southern U.S. where infestations of the brown dog tick are more commonly seen, although in the absence of effective control programs, the brown dog tick can survive indoors in kennels and homes — virtually anywhere there are dogs. The report showed cases of heartworm in more than 3 million dogs in 48 states. Evidence of at least one agent was found in dogs from every state considered. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
