We’re still experimenting with the UI, particularly when it comes to crafting. One of our ideas is to incorporate crafting and processing directly into the inventory screen, letting you easily and quickly assemble the gear you need to survive in the wilds while also offering flexibility for PvP players.
As you progress further in the game, you will be able to experiment with crafting ingredients and found components to make powerful weapons and gear. This rewarding crafting system allows you to combine and experiment to discover new recipes, while also showing you all of the recipes that you already know.
In Hytale, you’ll create and loot increasingly powerful equipment – the above picture shows off some tooltip concepts that we’re experimenting with. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to assess the strengths and weaknesses of your gear on the fly! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Arizona DOT has nearly 200 snowplows and 400 certified drivers stationed around the state to address snow and ice. But as Christmas weekend showed, especially on Interstate 40 from Flagstaff west to Ash Fork and on Interstate 17 south of Flagstaff, a snowstorm can be so intense that travel becomes unsafe quickly.
This is why drivers should monitor conditions before leaving and be prepared to delay travel until snowplows can do their work. A few inches of snow fell per hour at the height of last weekend’s storm, causing crashes and slide-offs and resulting in long closures because of the time required to get vehicles cleared and lanes open again.
With another storm forecast for New Year’s weekend, recent experience reinforces the value of waiting until roads are plowed and ready for traffic. If there’s any question about whether it’s a good idea to go, you’d probably do well to wait.
Because snowstorms can result in sudden closures sometimes lasting for hours, ADOT offers tips at azdot.gov/KnowSnow that include packing an emergency kit with blankets, warm clothing, snacks and water, having a charged cellphone and keeping your gas tank half to three-quarters full at all times. But the safest option when snow is falling is not being on road unless it’s absolutely necessary.
In addition to watching National Weather Service forecasts for the area where you’re planning to travel, be sure to check az511.gov or call 511 for the latest road conditions. ADOT’s Twitter account (@ArizonaDOT) is a good source of information and interaction.
When highways are plowed and ready for traffic, many drivers may be heading uphill to play in the snow. If you’re among them, be sure to leave prepared, as New Year’s usually is an especially busy weekend at snow-play areas, especially along US 180 outside of Flagstaff, resulting in long lines of traffic at day’s end.
Those heading to snow-play sites along US 180 may want to consider making an earlier start home, as on busy days traffic builds toward Flagstaff throughout the afternoon. When they reach Flagstaff, drivers taking Interstate 17 south can save time by following a marked alternate route to Interstate 40 at Butler Avenue, via Switzer Canyon Road and Route 66, and then heading west to I-17. A map of this route, as well as locations of snow-play sites, is available at FlagstaffArizona.org (follow the Winter Snow Play link).
Travelers also should resist the temptation to stop on highway shoulders to play in the snow, in part because plows throw snow and ice far from the roadway. In addition, other drivers may be distracted by your vehicle and first responders may need to use the shoulder. Exit highways and park in designated areas.

The ICJ is deeply concerned by the Constituent Assembly elections held in Venezuela on 31 July and the violence that accompanied the process and left a number of people killed, injured or arbitrarily detained.
The ICJ considers that the election of a National Constituent Assembly (NCA) failed to comply with the Article 347 of the current Constitution, which provides the legal basis for convening of an NCA. In particular, a significant portion of the members of the NCA should be chosen in open and universal elections, but instead are to be selected from restricted social sectors.
Such arrangements undermine the right to direct, free, equal and secret elections recognized under international human rights standards, the Geneva-based organization adds.
“A Constitution which does not guarantee the basic principles of the rule of law and the validity of fundamental human rights and freedoms not only violates the international obligations of the Venezuelan State, but can also be used as a means of undermining the human rights of Venezuelans,” said Sam Zarifi, Secretary General of the ICJ.
The ICJ also calls for a prompt and independent investigation into alleged electoral fraud on the day of the poll.
The ICJ says that irrespective of its legitimacy, the new NCA must respect human rights and rule of law principles.
In particular, until the approval of a new Constitution, the NCA must respect the current Constitution of 1999, especially in terms of judicial independence, and protection of human rights.
Similarly, the new Constitution, which the NCA will draft, must also fully guarantee the basic principles of the rule of law, including the separation of powers, legislative autonomy, the independence of the judiciary, the subordination of military forces to the civil authority and the principle of legality and judicial control of executive actions.
The new Constitution also must fully guarantee the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
It must enshrine the prohibition of trials of civilians by military courts, and ensure that states of emergency respect the requirements and guarantees of the Covenant International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and other international law and standards, the ICJ adds.
The ICJ also considers that the new Constitution, in addition to incorporating the human rights and fundamental freedoms already contained in the current Constitution, should add the express prohibition of extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances, torture and ill-treatment, arbitrary detention, and other serious human rights violations. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The dahabeyas are the way to enjoy Egypt at a leisurely pace, to feel the river Nile, and slowly blend in with the civilization around the Nile River. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

You can watch the video for "September" below. Lydia Loveless explains the video: “‘September’ is a song about the loneliness and ache of being a teenager. I wanted to depict that in the video without being too personal, and we thought Bridget and Kyle would be the perfect people to star in it. There’s nothing I love more than not being in my own video, so I loved just watching everyone get into character and tell this sad story in front of me.”

The Iloilo City Tourism and Development Office (CTDO) will offer free tour around the metropolis to familiarize frontliners including receptionists, vendors, drivers, and government or non-government employees on December 17.
City Tourism Officer Junel Ann Divinagracia said there are 150 slots available for the half-day tour and those interested may contact CTDO at 3207581.
“We aim to educate our frontliners about the various tourist destinations, what are the stories behind these, as well as the recent developments in the city,” Divinagracia said.
“A lot of tourists usually ask about destinations here, so if our frontliners are equipped with knowledge about these, it will be easy for them to answer the query,” she noted.
CTDO has prepared five coasters with accredited tour guides.
“Mayor Jose Espinosa III and Department of Tourism regional director Atty. Helen Catalbas are very supportive of our program. In fact, Mayor Joe believes that tourism is an economic driver of the city,” Divinagracia said.
She added they are planning to have another batch if the first turns out full.
“Initially, through the ‘JoyRide Ta’ Program, we want to have a regular route which covers tourist destinations around the city. We are still finalizing this with Mayor Joe including the vehicle to be used,” Divinagracia said. (Merianne Grace Ereñeta/Iloilo City PIO) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Jaya Bachchan's viral nomination form contradicts actress-MP's objection to Amitabh's mention in her name
New Delhi/IBNS: Bollywood's senior actress and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan, who is widely known on social media for her public display of anger at paparazzi, has recently sharply countered Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh for referring to her as 'Smt. Jaya Amitabh Bachchan'.
Reacting to Singh, Bachchan said, "Sir, sirf Jaya Bachchan bolte to kaafi hojata (It would’ve been enough to call me Jaya Bachchan)."
The Deputy Chairman responded saying her name was registered in that manner, prompting the Rajya Sabha MP to say "it's a new practice".
"Ye jo hain kuch naya tarika hain ki mahilaayen apne pati ke naam se jaani jaye. Unka koi astitva nahi. Unki koi upalabdh hi nahi hain, apne mein aur astitva nahi hain. Ye jo naya shuru hua hain, I just… (Some new practice has emerged that women have to be known by their husband's name. Women have no identity and achievements. This new practice, I just…)," she told the Deputy Chairman.
Now, Jaya Bachchan's nomination form written as 'Jaya Amitabh Bachchan' dated 2018 has gone viral on social media.
Several netizens have slammed the veteran actress for her response when she had herself mentioned Amitabh in the nomination papers.
Jaya Bachchan is a moron of the highest order

In her own nomination documents and hence Rajya Sabha official records, her name is Smt. Jaya Amitabh Bachchan .. but no .. she wants to be referred as Smt.

‘Teen Mom 2’ Star Loses Custody Of His Child
Teen Mom 2 dad Adam Lind recently lost custody of his oldest daughter, Aubree, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend, Chelsea Houska. The news comes after Adam has been making headlines for his legal troubles as well as drug abuse issues.
According to a Jan. 17 report by Radar Online, Chelsea Houska’s daughter Aubree may be seeing a lot less of her father Adam Lind in the future. The Teen Mom 2 star had been trying to get Adam’s custody issues under control ever since he tested positive for meth last year. Now, Chelsea has won her legal battle with Adam. Lind has lost custody of 8-year-old Aubree, and has to see her at a visitation center. In addition, Aubree will now still be going to see Adam’s parents one weekend a month. However, Adam is not allowed to be there while Aubree is with them.
In addition to Aubree’s weekends with her grandparents, the report reveals that Adam’s mother, Donna, is also permitted to have lunch as school with her granddaughter every Tuesday. Donna has never been shown on Teen Mom 2, so fans have no idea how she is reacting to the custody change, or Adam’s drug and legal problems.
Meanwhile, Chelsea Houska also scored another legal battle when it comes to Aubree. The Teen Mom 2 star had petitioned to change Aubree’s last name from Lind to Lind-DeBoer, and got her wish. Aubree’s last name is now a combination of her father Adam and her step-father, Cole DeBoer. Aubree had revealed on an episode of the MTV reality series that she wanted to have the same last name as her mom, step-dad, and baby brother, Watson. Chelsea also went on to say that she and Aubree had never shared the same last name, and that she was excited and hopeful to be able to make the important change for Aubree’s sake.
Teen Mom fans are sure to see more of these issues be explained by Chelsea Houska on upcoming episodes of the MTV reality series, which is currently filming a new season.

Happy Holidays! I made this recording of "The Impossible Dream" back in 2011. That song has always been one of my favorites as it beautifully captures my life philosophy. In addition, I sang that song at my dad's funeral service. I miss you dad! A big thank-you to Tai, one of our wonderful employees at the American School.

Best Internal Auditing Pros in California (CA)
Any auditing process that is not carried out in an objective way cannot yield the best recommendations. This is why it is essential to ensure that you look for an independent and objective person any time you wish to carry out an auditing process.
Given the issue of independence in the auditing process, it is not really a good idea to use your internal auditors to carry out an auditing process. Most of them are never independent and they easily succumb to the pressure of duress and influence during this process.
Due to this, they are unable to carry out the auditing process in the required way and submit the right requirements where necessary. External auditors in most cases are always the best when it comes to carrying out auditing processes. Most of them have the ability to carry out any auditing process carefully objectively and most importantly independently.
If you choose one to help you with the auditing process then there is a good chance, they will carry out this process in the required way for you. However, even with the external auditors you still need to be careful with the person or people you choose for this process.
If you are looking for the best results or at least an auditing process that will help you to realize change then you need to look for the best auditor for this process. In America, you can look for Internal Auditing Pros which is the best auditing company that you can count on for this process in America.
We are a leading company that has no match in the United States of America, we are well able to carry out any auditing process and most importantly in an objective way with the sole view of delivering the best results at the end of the process.
Our auditing procedures are always well planned and well executed by our top experts who are well skilled and trained. We possess knowledge in carrying out auditing procedures in so many areas, something that puts us ahead of the other companies.

Countries that Have Banned Cryptocurrency Advertisements
Since the inception of cryptocurrency in 2009, it has seen many unusual comments on its privacy and security. Whereas some other countries welcomed this virtual currency with open arms. Crypto has been a matter to chat on for the world today, owing to the number of upsides it has but, at the same time due to the negative points it holds. Nevertheless, worrying about the downsides and witnessing the negative attitude among the citizens some countries have taken the bold step of not letting the cryptocurrency be advertised. This is a bold step of taking the common masses to a secure edge. Although, the Bitcoin Era has been spreading its charm and returns throughout the globe, following nations much away!
Whilst still heavily condemned because of its fluctuation, being utilized in shady transactions, as well as extravagant utilization of power generation in the processing or mining period, especially in the modernizing and developing countries, perceive Bitcoin as a thing of refuge throughout financial downpours. However, as even a number of individuals are turning to cryptocurrencies as an asset or a livelihood; such problems have evidenced themselves in a slew of constraints on their use. The legal position of Bitcoin differs widely by country, and in certain cases, the connection is not strictly delineated or is continually shifting.
Countries that banned crypto ads
Following nations have strictly put a restriction on the advertisements owing to different sets of reasons:
As the Turkish lira fell in valuation, numerous people in Turkey ended up turning to bitcoin. With a few of the largest possible stages of utilization everywhere within and across the globe, restrictions arrived quickly this year because the price level reached its peak. The Central Bank adopted rules harshly restricting the utilization of virtual transactions, on April 16, 2021. The other morning, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ended up going much farther, issuing an edict adding cryptocurrency transaction institutions to a list of businesses pertaining to anti-money illicit activity as well as countering the terrorism financing regulations, hence displaying any sorts of advertisements in Turkey is nothing but the highest criminal activity of all times.
The fundamental banking institution of Bangladesh does not enable cryptocurrency buying and selling because it violates the nation’s monetary laws Money Laundering Prevention Act for trading throughout the different exchanges, which is overly decentralized. Cryptocurrency businessmen who are caught investing money in virtual exchanges confront long periods behind bars across the country. Thus, Bangladesh has strict rules in the arena of crypto usage which is nothing but a huge blast to the cryptocurrency world.
All across 2021, China has increased its crackdown on digital currencies, including the major type, Bitcoin. The Chinese government has consistently notified the citizens to avoid the technology platform sector, and they also started putting down harsh restrictions on the processing and also cryptocurrency exchange mechanisms in China and abroad. The PBoC hopes to be among the globe’s largest and foremost authority bankers to release their very acknowledged virtual money, allowing it to keep monitoring its citizens’ transfers.
The PBoC ended up going yet again and openly prohibited cryptocurrency transfers in the nation, thus, the advertising policy has to be clearly restricted by the administration.
Cryptocurrency exchanges have been forbidden in Egypt seeing the Islamic law. Dar al-Ifta, an Egyptian Muslim counsel, chooses to have faith that cryptos may be detrimental to the nation’s privacy or safety rules and financial wellness or well-being.
In February 2021, Nigeria issued a cryptocurrency prohibition. Since 2017, to a great shock to the whole globe the biggest crypto market in Africa has prohibited investment banks from offering on-ramp and off-ramp crypto activities. Furthermore, the notification warned to shut banking institutions that were discovered utilizing bitcoin markets.
The final takeaway
Cryptocurrency has passed with flying colors in different parts of the world, but, still, some countries have levied varied sets of rules and regulations against crypto. The reasons might range from its volatility and insecure holdings to the large power consumption in its establishment as a virtual currency. The motive of all the governmental authorities though is the same, safeguarding the common masses from heavy losses which might lead to financial instability among the people. So, in a nutshell, it can be concluded that such countries revolve around the objective of better safe than sorry. If you are investing in crypto you must have deep knowledge of how to diversify Bitcoin portfolio . | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our justgiving page in support of the Whale & Dolphin Conservation (http://us.whales.org/ ) to STOP WHALING ( www.whales.org ) in the World.
In 2007 I watched a movie called 'On a clear day' which is about a character called Frank and his quest to swim the English Channel.
I was inspired by the movie and wanted to see if I was capable of such a feat. The only trouble was I hadn't swam for 10 years and when I did it was 2 lengths backstroke not front crawl!!!
I trained myself and in 2008 managed to swim the English Channel in 11 hours 35 mins. Then I followed this in 2010 by swimming 2 way Gibraltar Straits in 9 hours 39 mins becoming the first British person to make the 2 way crossing and broke the British record one way in 3 hours 25 mins.
I then heard of a challenge called the 'Oceans Seven' which was selected by legendary swimmer and coach Steve Munatones as the hardest 7 Ocean swims in the world. This became my new focus therefore I went on to do the following swims:
Molokai Strait (2012) - 17 hours 2 mins
Catalina Island (2012) - 12 hours 15 mins
Tsugaru Channel (2013) - 15 hours 25 mins
Cook Strait (2014) - 8 hours 39 mins
My final swim is Ireland to Scotland notoriously known as the hardest ocean swim on the planet which could be in the next few days!!
All of my swims have been for Whale & Dolphin Conservation, which is a charity very close to my heart. They work tirelessly to protect whales and dolphins and stop whaling and the slaughter of innocent mammals. I was privileged to be escorted by a pod of dolphins for 1 hour 30 mins on my Cook Strait crossing after a shark was swimming below me during the swim. It is an experience i'll never forget!!
I would appreciate so much your support :) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Many of you will also know that for many years I have been 'a runner'. However, over the last 2-3 years in particular, I appear to have completely lost my mojo and I'm trying had to break through my own mental barrier and find love again in the sport I used to love so much.
So, I have agreed to take part in the Bury 10k - 1) to raise much needed funds for the CLC, and 2) to give me something to aim for (and achieve), in my journey back to being 'a runner'.
I've always had an great deal of support from my family and friends whenever I undertake fundraising, so I hope you will once again spare just a few pounds to support me and this very, very worthy cause | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In today’s digital landscape, more than traditional marketing methods are needed. Businesses need to harness the power of content marketing to engage their audiences, build brand awareness, and drive conversions. Content marketing creates and distributes valuable, relevant, consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience, ultimately driving profitable customer action. Here’s a deeper exploration of how to execute an effective content marketing strategy.
The Power of Value-Driven Content
The heart of content marketing lies in the content itself—it must be valuable and meaningful to your audience. Businesses should create high-quality, value-driven content that resonates with their audience’s needs, interests, and challenges. The goal is to provide information that enriches the audience’s lives or solves their problems.
This could include educational blog posts, entertaining videos, insightful podcasts, visually engaging infographics, or in-depth white papers. The medium isn’t as important as the message and the value it offers. Rather than hard-selling your products or services, your content should position your business as a trustworthy resource. This way, when your audience is ready to purchase, your brand will be their first thought.
Organizing with a Content Calendar
Consistency is crucial in content marketing. Publishing content sporadically or infrequently can make your brand seem unreliable and harm your reputation. A content calendar is an effective tool for planning, organizing, and scheduling your content in advance. It helps ensure a steady flow of fresh content and keeps your audience engaged.
Your content calendar should outline what types of content you’ll create, the topics you’ll cover, the platforms where you’ll publish them, and when they’ll go live. Remember to consider key dates or industry events your content can tie into for added relevance and timeliness.
The Importance of Audience Engagement
Engagement is the bedrock of any successful content marketing strategy. Encouraging your audience to interact with your content – by leaving comments, sharing opinions, or asking questions – fosters a sense of community and loyalty. By actively participating in these conversations, you can reinforce relationships with your audience and gain valuable insights into their needs and preferences.
Effective Content Promotion
Great content means little if your target audience doesn’t see it. That’s why you need to leverage multiple channels for content promotion. Your website, social media platforms, and email newsletters are all effective ways to share and amplify your content.
Collaborating with industry influencers or guest posting on popular blogs can also broaden your reach, exposing your brand to new audiences. Each promotional channel has unique features and audience behaviors, so tailor your promotion strategies accordingly.
Content marketing is more than just producing content; it’s about creating value, fostering engagement, and effectively promoting your content. It requires consistent effort, but the payoff is substantial. A successful content marketing strategy can build your brand’s reputation, strengthen customer relationships, and boost your bottom line. It’s time to move beyond traditional marketing tactics and start leveraging the power of content marketing.
If you are ready to embark on a path of growth, innovation, and global success, I am here to guide you every step of the way. Book a call with me. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Keller improved surrounding soil to facilitate the tunnel construction of the Eglinton Crosstown light rail line.
The Eglinton Crosstown light rail line was under construction in Toronto, Ontario, which required cross passages to be constructed at various locations between the Westbound and Eastbound tunnels for servicing and emergency purposes when the line became operational.
The presence of silty clay soil at two of the cross passages (no. 11 & 12) posed a problem for conventional de-watering methods. Soil stabilization was required to temporarily improve the soil prior to hand mining operations from inside of the existing tunnels to create the cross passages tunnel.
Keller performed permeation grouting at CP-11 & CP-12. Multiple port steel sleeve pipes were installed to create a canopy from both the Westbound and Eastbound tunnels. In addition, the excavated face was reinforced with fiberglass rebar affixed to PVC multiple port sleeve pipes (MPSP). MasterRoc MP325 grout was injected under pressure with a double packer system through ports on the sleeve pipes. The grouted zone showed increased strength and reduced permeability within days of grout injection. Keller worked 24 hours a day to meet the project schedule and allow for the cross-passage construction to continue. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I was recently asked what I felt the best agents did to get more landlords? The usual answers jumped to mind; touting, landlord farming, and everything else that I would deem ‘business generation’ tasks. But, after giving it more thought, the answer became very clear - put simply, - the best agents get more landlords by delivering a fantastic service and user experience. If the service you offer is poor, then regardless of how great your marketing is, or how convincing the listers are, customer retention will always be an issue for you. Which is a huge opportunity missed when you consider the lifetime value of a lettings customer (see one of my earlier blogs on this).
How do these top-performing letting agents consistently deliver a great service and user experience? A number of factors contribute to this such as employing the right staff (paying the right salary for the importance of the role), by providing ongoing training and support, but, the one factor which trumps everything else is…….
They all have bulletproof processes in every part of the business. The very best agents will put as much, if not more time, effort, and spend into the processes than they do into the marketing.
The exceptional agents will not only create processes, but they understand that one size doesn’t fit all, they will dissect landlord profiles into the most minute detail, create user journeys and then create processes for each stage of the journey dependant on the landlord type.
The wants and needs of each landlord profile is researched and processes are planned and documented, and as importantly, rigorously followed.
For example, take an accidental landlord; it is likely that they have previously lived in the property they now rent out, they may have raised their family in it, they are likely to know the neighbours and have local friendship groups. All of this creates an emotional attachment to the property, and because of this, I would argue that they care as much, if not more about the type of tenants the agent puts into the property as they do about getting the maximum amount of rent in the shortest space of time.
By understanding this landlord profile, every stage of the process needs to be different from that of a portfolio or B2L landlord. Segmenting your landlord types and then writing the processes accordingly makes it a lot easier to persuade a landlord to use your service when you are speaking the language that the landlord wants to hear, often addressing their concerns before they have highlighted them, or are even aware of them.
Now let’s consider the valuation process. For an accidental landlord, the valuation needs to be an education piece - they want their mind put at ease. The agent needs to clearly and patiently explain the processes they follow at each stage of the journey and explain that they prioritise finding the ‘right tenant’ who is going to really look after the property rather than agreeing to let to the first tenant who comes along. They need to showcase how they are going to manage the property, how they undertake routine inspections and what they look for on inspections (prevention is better than cure), how they handle property maintenance, how much input the landlord wants and so on.
In contrast, this isn’t a portfolio landlord's first rodeo; they care less what you do on a routine inspection and more about speed, void periods and rent. As such, the pitch needs to focus on what the agency does to fulfil this landlord’s priorities and assists in improving their ROI.
Similarly, the move in process, the renewal process, and property management will all have a different approach. The best agents will go as far as matching the personality types of the property managers with different landlord types. Analytical property managers work well with portfolio landlords whereas amiable property managers work with accidental landlords.
So in answer to the initial question ‘What do the best agencies do to attract more landlords to use their services?’ They understand the different types of landlords, and by doing so they understand what attracts each type of landlord, where they hang out (physically and virtually) and then they follow the processes. Not only are they attracting them but also retaining them- retention is the ultimate growth strategy (remember the blog I mentioned earlier with some amazing lifetime value of a landlord stats).
Processes are how you get to delivering consistent quality – get your team to do what you inspect rather than what you expect by having ridged processes so that you can easily monitor each stage, make improvements and manage staff accordingly whilst maintaining service levels.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) – Two members of the Alaska Marijuana Control Board say they have no plans to step down following allegations of ethics violations from a cannabis cultivator.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports Palmer-based KushTopia owner Phillip Izon says he is preparing an ethics complaint against board members Brandon Emmett and Nick Miller, claiming the marijuana control office has scrutinized cannabis events unequally.
State law prohibits public consumption of marijuana. Izon says the state lacks a clear threshold for when an event is considered public. He claims recent marijuana-related events were investigated for public consumption while an event sponsored by Emmett’s cannabis company was not.
Emmett says he does not have knowledge of how the control office decides which events to investigate. Board members learn of the investigations at later points.

Flood damage assessment and cleanup continues throughout the region. Property owners in Knoxville and Knox County are encouraged to contact 3-1-1 (or 865-215-4311) to report significant flood damage to their personal or commercial property.
Damage assessment is the first step in seeking federal assistance for our community. The damage assessment will be forwarded to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA), which will collect data from multiple communities to see if the damage estimate reaches a threshold to qualify for application for possible federal assistance.
If federal assistance becomes available, local media outlets will provide guidelines and individuals that have reported damage to 3-1-1 will be contacted with additional information. Federal assistance is not guaranteed for our region, but the information gathered through reporting to 3-1-1 will greatly assist in determining eligibility.
A Crisis Cleanup Help Line is in place for people who need help with muck-out, debris removal, and home cleanup from the recent flooding. The Crisis Cleanup Help Line is a toll-free call to 1-833-556-2476. The number is staffed 24/7 and will be available through March 15, 2019. Callers should be ready to provide their name and contact information, and a brief description of their issue to the relief agency representative who answers the Help Line. While assistance is not guaranteed, Crisis Cleanup connects disaster survivors with trusted relief agencies and keeps personal information confidential.
Damaged properties reported to 3-1-1 may be verified by uniformed first responders or government employees. If homeowners or business owners see a uniformed first responder, they should not be startled. The Knoxville Police Department, Knoxville Fire Department, Rural/Metro Fire Department, Karns Fire Department, Seymour Volunteer Fire Department, and Knox County Sheriff’s Office as well as City and County employees are currently conducting damage assessments throughout Knoxville and Knox County.

Ensuring Effective use of a wide variety of contents with Managed Content Services (MCS)
Konica Minolta has launched Managed Content Services (MCS) globally to allow companies more effective use of their ever-expanding content.
MCS is a one-stop service that offers consultation-based suggestions for improving work efficiency along with exclusive software for content management, MFPs for data input and output, and document digitization service.
It allows centralised management of a huge and varied volume of content such as electronic data, enabling customers to use it more effectively. This service helps to enhance efficiency and contributes to cost and environmental impact reduction, while strengthening security and business continuity.
Enhancing document management efficiency for a real estate company
Real estate services deal with a wide variety of materials from contracts to floor plans and photographs of properties. While real estate companies usually employ centralized management systems to handle each stage of the process — from the showing of rental properties, contract signing, and property maintenance to the final stage of contract termination — they have to enter certain data from the individual documents into the system manually; an overly time-consuming and costly step. Therefore, they are looking for improvements in efficiency.
Konica Minolta offers real estate companies ManagedContent Services (MCS), a content management solution for efficiency problems.For example, we recommend the use of a zonal OCR* when scanning documents with an MFP. This enables the automatic mining of required information in the documents, such as contract numbers or addresses of the properties. Then, all the operators have to do is check for accuracy before the information is added to the database, eliminating the need to manually input the information from the documents and greatly enhancing efficiency.This solution also links up not only text information but also image data such as floor plans, maps and photographs in the database, allowing use of the network to complete the entire workflow: document approval, updating, preparation and printing. This means, for example, that real estate companies can extract the rental properties whose contract expiration dates are approaching and automatically prepare the documents needed for renewal; or, they can collect information specifically on those rental properties that meet the requirements of a prospective tenant. This solution helps our customers improve their workflow efficiency in various ways.
*OCR (Optical Character Reader): A technology to optically read printed characters and automatically convert them into data
With the exponential growth of business content, one of the major challenges faced by businesses across industries is the management and utilisation of business content. Oftentimes, the documents come in the form of hard copy and electronic format and from dispersed locations. The unstructured content and disorganised storage may result in inefficiency and unproductivity.
MCS is a one-stop service that offers consultation-based suggestions for improving work efficiency along with exclusive software for content management, MFPs for data input and output, and document digitisation service. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Get ready for a captivating journey with Moon Ga Young and Koo Kyo Hwan in a highly anticipated new drama. This Korean drama is a remake of the touching Chinese film “Us and Them.” And it promises to bring a fresh perspective to a beloved story. So, will this dynamic duo spark on-screen chemistry and capture the hearts of audiences worldwide? Let’s dive deeper into the story and characters of the new drama.
Moon Ga Young and Koo Kyo Hwan to Star in “Us and Them” Korean Remake
Rising actors Moon Ga Young and Koo Kyo Hwan will be leading the Korean remake of “Us and Them”.
On December 21, SPOTV News’s exclusive report revealed that Moon Ga Young and Koo Kyo Hwan would be playing the leading roles in a new drama. This new drama is apparently the Korean remake of a famous Chinese movie called “Us and Them.”
“Us and Them” is a Chinese romantic drama film by Rene Liu in her directorial debut. Starring Jing Boran and Zhou Dongyu, the film aired on April 28, 2018. It received critical acclaim for its beautiful simplicity and emotional depth.
Moreover, the movie was also a massive hit in China, earning significant box office success with a 100% approval rating based on reviews from six critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The standout performances by Zhou Dong Yu and Jing Bo Ran, who played Xiao Xiao and Jian Qing, respectively, received massive praise for their chemistry and emotional depth.
Storyline and Characters of the New Korean Drama
“Us and Them” is a romantic drama about lovers who endure a painful separation. The two lovers then fatefully reunite years later and reminisce about their past.
If Moon Ga Young and Koo Kyo Hwan accept the offer, they will likely play the Korean version of Fang Xiao Xiao and Lin Jian Qing in the new Korean drama.
Jianqing and Xiaoxiao initially meet for the first time on a train. They then experience the stages of love, separation, and reunion throughout their lives.
The original Chinese film alternates between Jian Qing and Xiao Xiao’s past relationship and their present-day conversations. The story highlights their dreams, challenges, and the strong love they share. It is an amazing story, exploring themes of young love, the clash of reality with ideals, and the importance of family.
Finally, with the impressive performance of the original cast, do you think Moon Ga Young and Koo Kyo Hwan will be able to match their chemistry in the new Korean drama? Even though both Moon Ga Young and Koo Kyo Hwan are promising actors, matching the chemistry of the original cast will remain a challenge they must conquer.
But what do you think? Please share your thoughts in the comments.
In the meantime, here’s Moon Ga Young’s amazing performance in “The Interest of Love”.

Ladysmith Downtown Holiday Storybook Stroll
December 1, 2021
Downtown Ladysmith storybook stroll great Christmas activity for families. 17 downtown Ladysmith businesses and organizations will be displaying picture book pages in their windows for readers, of all ages, to enjoy. There will be a new storybook every Wednesday for a total of four books for the month of December.
After experiencing amazing success since February with the outdoor Storybook Walk series at Brown Drive Park, Tanya Reid of Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA) is offering a special Christmas version, the Holiday Storybook Stroll, in downtown Ladysmith during the month of December.
“With so many things cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic, I felt families were so limited in terms of safe activities they could do together. A Christmas-themed Storybook Stroll seemed like the perfect option.
“We were able to get 17 downtown businesses and organizations to participate and they will be displaying picture book pages in their windows for readers, of all ages, to enjoy. A team of festively dressed volunteers will put up a new book every Wednesday for a total of four books for the month of December. It’s so exciting,” said Reid, coordinator of the LRCA Adventures in Early Literacy (AEL) program.
The first book featured on Dec. 1 is Tough Cookie by Edward Hemingway and the books and their pages change Dec. 8 (The Most Wonderful Gift in the World by Mark Sperring), Dec. 15 (Santa’s New Beard by Caroline Crow and Dec. 22 (We Wish You a Merry Christmas by Helaine Becker).
Holiday Storybook Stroll maps are available online or at the Ladysmith Chamber of Commerce and LRCA offices. Downloadable maps are available online under the AEL program page at www.lrca.ca.
The map provides a route for families to find the pages in order and read the book in its entirety. In addition to a seek and find game, the map also contains a QR code that when scanned, leads to a registry for book prizes and one grand prize basket.
The prizes as well as the entire Holiday Storybook Stroll is generously funded by PacificCare Resource and Referral. The organization has been a huge supporter of the Storybook Walk at Brown Drive Park, and funded more than 200 literacy bags that went out into the community earlier this year.
Art students from Ladysmith Secondary School created 17 frames for the downtown book pages.
Reid said schools from Nanaimo and Ladysmith contacted her looking to incorporate the Holiday Storybook Stroll into their field trips. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Funeral arrangements have been released for the late Josephine Pender, the Tullamore woman who sadly passed away yesterday without knowing what happened to her missing daughter, Fiona.
The late Mrs Pender (68) was a tireless campaigner to find answers on what happened to her daughter, and unborn grandchild.
Fiona Pender was seven months pregnant when she went missing from her flat on Church Street, Tullamore, Co Offaly on August 23, 1996.
Reposal will take place in O’Reilly’s Funeral Home, Harbour Street, Tullamore this afternoon from 3pm until 6pm.
A private funeral will take place afterwards.
This reporter interviewed her a number of times, from the time her daughter Fiona first disappeared in 1996.
Initially, she held out hope that her daughter would be found alive.
However, as time wore on she publicly stated that she believed someone had harmed her daughter.
She said she wanted to be able to give her a Christian burial and have a gravesite at which to remember and mourn her daughter and unborn grandchild.
Sadly, that wish was never granted.
She spoke poignantly about her daughter and the joy of feeling her unborn grandchild kicking and moving as the birth date came closer.
Recently, Mrs Pender said the person responsible had not only murdered her daughter and grandchild, but had also damaged her family.
Mrs Pender’s own health suffered significantly, undoubtedly due to the ordeal.
A woman of great faith, she said she didn’t seek revenge but simply answers and justice.
The late Mrs Pender and her family consistently called on people with knowledge connected to the disappearance of Fiona to come forward.
In recent years, gardai conducted an extensive search in woodland near Rosenallis.
A large area was cleared during the search, and specialist teams and cadaver dogs were used during the search.
However, the search concluded without any results.
A search also took place for Fiona Pender’s remains in the Slieve Bloom mountains several years ago, close to the Monicknew picnic area.
A short search there concluded without further information being gleaned.
Fiona’s younger brother Mark was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1995 close to Killeigh village, on the Laois/Offaly border.
Their father, Seán, also died by suicide in 2000.
The self-confessed main suspect connected with the disappearance is originally from Laois, but now lives abroad.

The Winter Solstice, also known as 'Mid Winter', is the shortest day of the year and the longest night of the year. The exact time of the solstice varies each year. This year it occurred on 21st December 2018
The Winter Solstice happens every year when the Sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees. It means the North Pole is tilted farthest away from the Sun, delivering the fewest hours of sunlight of the year.
The Sun is directly overhead of the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere during the December solstice and is closer to the horizon than at any other time in the year.
The day after the winter solstice marks the beginning of lengthening days, leading up to the summer solstice in June.
The Winter Solstice 2018 is unique as it witnessed December full moon on 21st & 22nd; Ursid meteor shower and Mercury/Jupiter conjunction.
The term ‘solstice’ derives from the Latin word ‘solstitium’, meaning ‘Sun standing still’. On this day the Sun seems to stand still at the Tropic of Capricorn and then reverses its direction as it reaches its southernmost position as seen from the Earth. Some prefer the more teutonic term ‘sunturn’ to describe the event.

Here, he will oversee the property’s culinary portfolio, which includes banquet cuisine, in-room dining, Grab & Go options, and the Inn’s signature restaurant, Aura Waterfront Restaurant + Patio. Chef Nakano’s arrival comes on the heels of the property’s multimillion-dollar ground floor renewal, which brought to life the vision of late Canadian architect Arthur Erickson.
A passionate advocate for sustainability, Chef Nakano’s appointment builds on traditions and philosophies central to the award-winning Inn, set against an inspiring backdrop of Victoria’s picturesque Inner Harbour. Raised in a traditional Japanese household, Chef Nakano’s mother instilled in him a deep respect for honouring the seasons, nourishing the land and harvesting responsibly – teachings he has carried throughout his career. While this influence can be experienced throughout each of the culinary touch-points in the hotel, his philosophy is especially integral to Aura, where local and seasonal ingredients take center stage – encouraging guests to experience bold and worldly flavours through globally-inspired “small plates”.
During his 20-year culinary tenure, Chef Nakano has prioritized a farm-to-table approach, supporting local growers and producers wherever possible, and was instrumental in launching the Vancouver Aquarium’s OceanWise program on Vancouver Island. Prior to joining the team at Inn at Laurel Point, he led the kitchens of global hospitality leaders like Shangri-La Hotel Vancouver, Rosewood Hotel Georgia and Hotel Fairmont Empress. In his new role, Chef Nakano will apply his philosophy of marrying local ingredients with Asian flavours, while utilizing the Pacific Northwest’s fresh assortment of seafood and the Inn’s robust hotel garden.
“Joining the culinary team at Inn at Laurel Point was an easy decision for me – in addition to honouring local, my philosophy of infusing seasonal ingredients with Asian flavours is similar to the approach at Aura,” said Chef Nakano. “I feel extremely lucky to be working and living in Victoria, where there is so much fresh seafood, vegetables, meats and other organic, sustainably grown ingredients to play with. I’m excited to share our team’s creativity and passion with diners across the property.”
In February, Inn at Laurel Point debuted a large-scale, multi-million ground floor renewal, which was originally conceived in 1987, when owners Paul and Artie Arsens asked their friend Arthur Erickson to design a second hotel wing (now called the Erickson Wing). He agreed, and Inn at Laurel Point became the first and only hotel in Erickson’s portfolio. Following the unveiling of the modernist-style wing – which paid homage to the property’s marine locale with dazzling waterfront views at every vantage point – Erickson and the Arsens, planned to extend renovations to the entire property.
Sadly, the Arsens died before they could complete the project and, shortly afterward, Erickson passed away, too. Thirty years later, in 2020, the hotel’s staff honoured the Arsens’ and Erickson’s collective vision by completing the renewal with the help of John Graham of Graham Sherwin Studio, who worked with Erickson on the original project. The newly unveiled ground floor renewel completely transformed the lobby, entranceway, meeting spaces, outdoor garden area, and Aura – and now, with Chef Nakano at the helm of its culinary team, the property is ready to welcome guests to an exciting new chapter for the property.
“We are thrilled to welcome Executive Chef Nakano to the family here at Inn at Laurel Point, and couldn’t be happier that his skills so perfectly complement those of Restaurant Chef Austin Lu and Pastry Chef Kimberley Vy,” said Julie Wright, Director of Human Resources at Inn at Laurel Point. “While COVID-19 has affected our industry tremendously over the past several months, our recent renewal and Chef Nakano’s appointment have helped to pave the way towards a promising future.”
Aura Waterfront Restaurant + Patio is open Monday to Sunday for breakfast and dinner, as well as happy hour on Friday and Saturday. For more information, visit www.aurarestaurant.ca. To book a stay at Inn at Laurel Point, visit www.laurelpoint.com. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Celebrating the Success of Former Student
Celebrating the success of former Learn to Rock student: Ben Walker: bass guitar: tutor: Alison Smith 2001 to 2007
We would like to acknowledge the tremendous success of a former student of our Director Alison Smith: Ben Walker.
Ben was a student at Dixons City Technology College from 2000 to 2007.
In that time Ben was a committed musician to the Music Department whilst Alison Smith was the Head of Department.
Ben was a tremendous musician throughout his time at Dixons CTC playing Flugal Horn in many of the school ensembles.
Ben began studying the Bass Guitar with Alison in Year 8 and continued through to Year 13.
Ben gained the outstanding mark of 97 out of 100 for his Grade 8 Rock School Bass Guitar Exam and worked with Alison to gain a place at Salford University. Ben went on to achieve amazing results at University and graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in Music.
Following his graduation, Ben gained a position playing the Bass in the bands and shows on the Cruise Ship: Carnival Cruise line based in Miami, Florida, USA.
Ben continued to work hard and was soon the Musical Director for all the Bands and Music occurring on the Cruise Ship. He maintained this position until earlier this year when he felt the time was right to leave and pursue his performance and teaching work back in Manchester.
Last week we discovered that the prestigious Scott Divine from Scottsbasslessons.com has invited Ben to be part of the student spotlight.
Scottsbasslessons.com is a fantastic online forum for Bass Guitarists.
Scott Divine is the most widely followed Bass Guitar educator in the world with over 190,000 aspiring Bass players following his monthly lessons.
This is an amazing honour for Ben and will give him fantastic exposure as one of the top ‘up and coming’ Bass Guitarists there is.
In his meeting with Nick Wells (of Scotts Bass Lessons) Ben is described as:
‘Ben Walker is the latest breath of fresh air to drift through the SBL campus…..In this regular feature we shine on a select few SBL students regarded by many as ones to watch’
We would like to wish Ben all the best of luck as he strides forward in creating a great career as a top bassist and teacher.

GU: Seriously, why would you guys assume that I think depictions of immoral sex are necessarily worse than depictions of immoral violence?
LH: Probably for the same reason that movies with realistic violence get shown in theaters, and explicit pornography doesn't.
GU: I can safely say that Max's innuendo has never inspired me to masturbate, any more than our regular violent roleplay has whipped me into a murderous fugue state. I can separate fantasy from reality.
EB: And yet you still believe in the existence of God...
GU: Not cool, Ellen.
EB: Okay, yeah, that was over the line. Sorry.
LH: That's another thing - your God isn't likely to make an appearance in Max's universe, and the "He's omnipotent so he spans the multiverse" line may not work on her. You may not be able to play a Christian character, let alone a setting-inappropriate "cleric of Jesus".
GU: Well, the system document says the game is going to be taking place in a "modern-day setting not unlike our own", so unless she's retconning almost all of Western culture, I'm reasonably certain I'm going to be able to play a Christian character.
EB: Yeah, if your character wants to have a set of beliefs that cripple her in combat and are demonstrably untrue in the setting of the game, I'm sure Max will allow it... | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

On the northern skyline, the Book Cliffs can be seen along I-70 heading west to the Utah border and beyond, towering over the Valley. Mount Garfield, a palisade at the pinnacle of the Book Cliffs, looks down on the town of Palisade, located on the East end of the Grand Valley just off of I-70. Palisade is well known for growing the best peaches in the world and being the wine capital of the Colorado, with a growing number of vineyards and wineries.
The desert between the bottom of the Book Cliffs and the edge of town are a great place for endless ATVing and Mountain Biking.
Running along the south edge of Grand Junction is the Colorado National Monument, a treasure of canyon trails, mountain biking, challenging road biking and beautiful views from the top of Rimrock Drive, a 22 mile road that was started in 1931 and finished in 1950. The two lane road winds to the top of the Monument, travels along the top of the canyons that make up the Monument, approximately 700 ft above Grand Junction. It then takes you down to the town of Fruita, on the west end of the Valley. You may even see a few Desert Bighorn Sheep along the way. Fruita is best know for being the mountain biking mecca of Colorado, with many biking trails in the area.
Last but not least is beautiful and unique, historic downtown Grand Junction, a must destination for any visitor. The downtown features several hotels, many eateries, great shops and artwork on the corners. You are just minutes from the East entrance of the Colorado National Monument.

I have no idea why people want to avoid aging. Isn't it good to age? Afterall how many people are able to live beyond a certain age. ....with every wrinkle, you are wiser and with every white hair, you are more experienced.
I would never dye my hair. I loved Indira Gandhi's hair and look at Sharmila Tagore... She looks so graceful.
The quantity of value years we get the opportunity to appreciate varies for social, ecological and mechanical, just as close to home, reasons.
General wellbeing estimates, for example, sanitation, antibodies and anti-infection agents have presumably had the best effect on life span. A nearby second is the ascent of the social government assistance state. Neediness and imbalance are large executioners. It takes a town to help seniors.
After those come way of life and nourishment decisions. Eating heaps of lousy nourishment isn't an approach to live a long, sound and fundamental life. Being a habitually lazy person isn't suggested either. Nor is a poor me demeanor to the characteristic procedure of maturing.
I follow the counsel of a US success called Younger Next Year. It suggests some key arrangements of activities. One is to eat well. One is to practice energetically. One is to carry on with an existence of direction and importance.
I have attempted to follow every one of the three of those as well as could be expected. Up until this point (age 75), so great. No pills or medications. Dynamic socially, for the most part with individuals a lot more youthful than I am. As yet adding to the general wellbeing development as a volunteer and advisor.
Still ready to do energetic exercise. I'm going on a weeklong kayak trip in the Northern Ontario wild in about fourteen days, with a little assistance from the astonishing aides at Beautiful North. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Be it TV or Internet, the reality is that media and social media have arrested the minds of today’s generation. Children have forgotten their childhood and are completely immersed in these things only. Outdoor games have been forgotten, so are old values and means of entertainment.
The disintegration of joint families in the present time is one of the major reason of this changing scenario. Children in earlier times had interest in their relatives, used to love and spend time with their grandparents, and enjoyed playing with their cousins. But these days, the place of human relationships have been taken by the sources of entertainment where enjoying doesn’t demand human company. Children today, due to this, prefer solitude and dislike interacting with the relatives.
TV and internet have so invaded the lives of children so much so that, they don’t even feel it necessary to eat or play without their presence. Parents too have no option, because if they make them devoid of these sources, children wouldn’t be having any recreational activity to indulge into. TV and internet are some of the very limited options our age provides for entertainment.
This can’t be helped much, but this surely should be guided.

Buying a car doesn’t have to be stressful check out these tips for buying a car in the new year! There may come a time at the start of this year when you start hating your car. It doesn’t start right and it’s just not functioning right. If it comes down to it, you may just want to decide on purchasing a new car this year and if you do, check out these tips.
Go with Someone You Trust
One of the best tips for buying a car in the New Year is to go with someone you trust. Don’t just go to any car lot to buy a car. Some car lots will totally rip you off, which is why we always go with someone that we trust.
Go with a Practical Vehicle
You may want to drive a Hummer but you live in Kansas that might not be the best decision. When it comes to buying a new car this year, always go with one that’s practical. If you drive 60 miles to work one way, buying a gas guzzler probably isn’t a great idea. Always think practical when buying a vehicle, especially if you spend a lot of time in your vehicle. We try to get a vehicle that gets more than 20 miles a gallon, has a few certain features, and is comfortable to ride in. While that isn’t all we look for, it’s some of the most important.
Pick a Color You Love
One thing about picking a car out is you can go a little crazy with the color. Sometimes people are stuck on the fact that they only want a red car or a black car, why not pick a color you love? You’re going to be the one driving it, so you might as well pick the color of the car that you want to stick with for a while. We tend to stick with silver or gold-colored vehicles, and white is always out immediately. We are a two-vehicle family and both are currently silver, just in different shades.
Stay within Budget
There’s nothing worse than purchasing a car and it is way out of your budget. You don’t want to decide between putting food on the table and paying your car payment. Staying within budget, you can still get an awesome vehicle. Have a number that you can afford each month and try not to go out of that range. It is easy to be persuaded to go higher, but sticking to your “budget guns” will pay off. Have a number that you can afford each month and try not to go out of that range.

Washer Tray Canada
Are you looking for a company that can help you out with tray washing solutions for your business in Canada? Limex is here to help! Limex is a Dutch company, specialized in (industrial) washing solutions with advanced machines. We work internationally with customers in over 60 countries, who already trust Limex for our quality washing products and the machines we deliver. We are the worldwide #1 partner in product hygiene within horticulture and floriculture.
Successful projects in Canada
We’ve already had successful collaborations with companies in Canada. An example of a successful story is our cooperation with Ontario Plants Propagation. Ontario Plants Propagation in Canada is the largest propagation company in North America, which has an acreage of 14 hectares since completing their expansion in 2020. As a result of the expansion of 2.5 hectares in total, also 4,000 square meters of ‘red zone’ and 4,000 square meters of ‘green zone’ were added. That is ‘quite large’ by current industry standards. All bins, trays and trolleys from production growers are returned to the red zone, so that’s where the risk of spreading viruses is highest. This highlights the essence of hygiene and the prevention of spread from fungi or bacteria. Do you want to read more about our successful cooperation?
Here at Limex, we focus on a high degree of product hygiene and the protection of crops against viruses, bacteria and fungi with the usage and development of our crate washers. Improving production hygiene reduces product waste and results in a higher output while keeping the input of the process on the same level (raw materials, energy or labour). Would you like to talk to us about our solutions and how they can contribute to your organization or processes? Please contact us, we will be happy to explain more about our working method and our machines! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Nut-cracking monkeys don't just use tools. They use tools with skill.
That's the conclusion of a new study that finds similar tool-use strategies between humans and Brazil's bearded capuchin monkeys, which use rocks to smash nuts for snacks. Both monkeys and humans given the nut-smashing task take the time to place the nuts in their most stable position on a stone "anvil," the study found, keeping the tasty morsels from rolling away.
That means the monkeys are able to not only use tools, but to use them with finesse. This ability may be a precursor to humans' ability to adapt tools to different circumstances and to use them smoothly under varying conditions.
"Any one individual can accomodate stones of different sizes, anvils of different angles and material and nuts of different shapes and sizes," said study leader Dorothy Fragaszy, a primate researcher at the University of Georgia, adding, "In fact, some of these nuts people can't crack."
Bearded capuchin monkeys were the first non-ape primates to be discovered using tools in the wild. They crack tough nuts by placing them on pitted stone anvils and then hitting them hard with other large rocks. [8 Humanlike Behaviors of Primates]
"They are slamming [the rock] on that nut," Fragaszy told LiveScience. "It's very impressive when you see it."

Fragaszy and her colleagues wanted to get a better idea of how skilled capuchins are at nut-cracking. In particular, they noticed the monkeys have an odd habit of tapping the nuts multiple times against the stone pits before putting them down. Perhaps, they thought, the tapping was a way to tell how stable the nut might be.
To find out, the researchers brought palm nuts to a population of capuchin monkeys in Fazenda Boa Vista in Brazil. The monkeys are wild, but habituated to human presence. Ten of the monkeys "volunteered" for the study by gathering the nuts and cracking them with stones as big as their heads as the researchers videotaped.
Before handing over the nuts, however, the scientists rolled them along the floor to find their flat sides, which they marked with a line. They also marked the other axis of the nut with color-coded pens so they could identify how the monkeys placed the nuts in the video.
Savvy tool use
The results revealed that the monkeys consistently placed the nuts in the most stable position. Out of 302 nut-cracking attempts, 253 started with the line marking the nut's stable axis facing up. Monkeys varied only slightly in their ability to ideally place the nut, doing so between 71 percent and 94 percent of the time depending on the individual. [See Video of the Monkey Attempts]
Next, the researchers ran an identical test with humans. Seven male and seven female volunteers were given nuts and told to crack them with stones, just as the capuchin monkeys do. The humans were blindfolded during the task, because the researchers suspected that the monkeys could place the nuts by feel and wanted to find out if humans could, too.
On average, the humans also placed the nuts in the most stable position, doing so on about 71 percent of tries. Unlike capuchins, however, they didn't knock the nuts against the stone very frequently. Instead, humans tended to roll the nuts around in their hands, feeling their shape. Humans have much larger hands than bearded capuchins, the researchers wrote today (Feb. 27) in the journal PLOS ONE, which could explain the different strategies.
The results suggest that humans and monkeys share the ability to use tools skillfully, with minimal effort for maximum effect, the researchers wrote.
"It's skill in the way that we use that word to talk about human skills," Fragaszy said. "It's a goal-directed activity. It's done fluidly. It's done flexibly."

If you’ve ever spent any time on the prairies, you know this already. Its often windy. Really windy!
Some have even taken up kite boarding, an impressive way to snowboard or ski using the wind instead of going down hills. There is a group that does this near Regina, and it is amazing to see the wind harnessed this way.
Of course, most aren’t up for this extreme, but anyone can fly a kite! This is a wonderful way to spend a sunny afternoon, and can be quite the challenge with two string trick kites.
There is also the annual Windscape Kite Festival in Swift Current, taking place on June 21st and 22nd. This is a great event designed for the whole family, with kids activities, entertainment, and expert kite flyers.
The great thing about kite flying is that you can enjoy it anywhere, and space is abundant on the prairies! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Another social annotation tool, this time called Boingle, put together by Greg Martin, who writes:
Boingle is a stripped down social annotation system that lets you annotate within web pages with the result being a simple markup (“Boingles (2)”) that looks as though it belongs in the page, much as a link titled “Comments (4)” looks normal within a blog. It is very understated in nature, and lets the annotation content itself be the star.
Social annotation, in case you’ve not done it, is a method to leave comments (annotations) on web pages so others can see them when they visit. It’s mildly popular, though of course only starts working when a critical mass develops of people using the same tool.
Boingle is a toolbar for Firefox and IE, allowing you to add comments (Boingles) by selecting portions of a webpage and then typing in comments (no need for an account; just enter your name, or anyone else’s).
I agree Boingle is understated, which is good, but not being able to see what the comments are on the actual web-page reduces its effectiveness, I suspect. Clicking on the ‘Boingles (2)’ link will open another browser window, which surfers may feel is one browser window more than they need. The other problem, I suspect is that perhaps the ‘Boingles’ links are too understated, sometimes not really being visible to anyone who isn’t looking hard for them.
I think I’d rather see the Boingles appear either as a pop-up or in the browser sidebar. But there might be sound reasons why that may not work.Anyway, great to see people exploring this avenue again.
List of all the social annotation tools I can find here. Please let me know of more I’ve missed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The future of aesthetic medicine is here—and it’s delivered through a tiny needle. Injectable neuromodulators including Botox®, the original neuromodulator, are loved by patients from Brunswick, St. Simons, and other Coastal Georgia-area cities because they fade lines and wrinkles without surgery and, often, without downtime. Browse your options for anti-aging in Brunswick, GA, and come to Lotus Health Medspa & Wellness for a quick pick-me-up.
Do Botox injections hurt?
Botox and application of other wrinkle reducers do require a needle, but it’s tiny and treatment lasts just a few seconds. You may feel a slight, fleeting pinch with each injection. If you’re concerned about discomfort, discuss the possibility of using a topical numbing cream or ice before treatment.
How long do the results of Botox last?
Botox, as with other neuromodulators, results last three to four months. To maintain your new look, retreatments are required. Lotus Health can put you on a regular schedule so you don’t miss a session.
Does Botox require downtime?
One of the biggest advantages of Botox is that it requires no downtime following treatment. You can go right back to all your regular activities following. You may have very slight bruising or swelling at specific injection sites, but this can be covered with makeup and resolves within a day or two.

Apple wants to make the keyboards of its various devices more durable and resistant to spills. The tech giant has been granted a patent (number 20210407748) for a “membrane-sealed keyboard.”
About the patent filing
In the patent filing, Apple notes that liquid flowing around, between, and beneath the keys can cause, of course, can damage internal electronics. Residues from such liquids, such as sugar, may corrode or block electrical contacts, prevent key movement by bonding moving parts, and so on.
Solid contaminants (such as dust, dirt, food crumbs, and the like) may lodge under keys, block electrical contacts, and obstruct key movement. Apple says that these devices can also be undesirably expensive to make and assemble.
The keys on a conventional keyboard are spaced apart to provide key definition. Key definition is a property of a keyboard that describes how easily a user can tell where a key is located by sight or touch. Typically, strong key definition correlates with large gaps or grooves between the keycaps since those gaps or grooves help orient the user’s fingers on the keyboard.
Apple says that, however, spacing apart the keys produces gaps through which liquid and particles can pass into the keyboard. Additionally, due to manufacturing tolerances, keycaps can be slightly misaligned when they each are supported by separate switches, domes and related key mechanisms, thereby leading to an imprecise and noisy visual appearance. Apple says that “there are many challenges and areas for improvements in input devices such as keyboards.” The company’s solution: a membrane-sealed keyboard.
Summary of the patent filing
Here’s Apple’s abstract of the patent filing: “Keyboards and other input devices are provided with at least one flexible layer that extends over or under the keycaps. The flexible layer spans interkey spaces and lies between inner and outer keycaps. The flexible layer prevents intrusion of invasive material to the keyboard mechanisms and simplifies the appearance of the keyboard area.
“Some flexible layers help align keycaps by connecting inner and outer keycaps or by providing a mechanical connection interface for the keycaps. Some membranes used in the flexible layer have a layered or composite construction that increases durability and tear resistance by attaching or infusing a mesh material or other tough material to a less durable, elastic material.”

New Zealand urgently needs tens of thousands of affordable homes.
There are many issues that have led to the housing crisis.
Traditional construction methods are not well-suited to meet the demand for rapidly building thousands of houses.
The building industry needs time to adapt and change.
These and other issues have led to an industry that is struggling to cope with the huge demand for houses.
The building industry’s inability to meet demand, leads to higher prices of materials, houses and rents.
Few organisations in New Zealand have the systems required to scale up.
Mainframe Systems is at the forefront with innovative methods and materials to rapidly produce quality, cost effective, houses.
Mainframe Systems has been established primarily to build multiple homes at the same time using our proprietary modular construction system.
We are willing to build individual one-off homes provided they fit modular construction methods. We have modular designs available for a range of settings and welcome discussion on how we might meet your housing needs. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Public Appointments Committee (PAC) chairperson Joyce Chitsulo has defended her committee saying it followed necessary procedures during the hearing last week where the committee rejected the appointment of Martha Chizuma as Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) director general.
Chitsulo spoke to a local television station days after her committee voted against the appointment of Chizuma who is the current Ombudsman.
During the vote, each of nine committee members gave Chizuma 1 out 25, each of eight members scored her 25/25 while one member scored Chizuma 23/25. She got an average of 14.9 but was supposed to get 17 in order to pass.
Malawians on social media have questioned the score given by members and have claimed that some members conspired to reject Chizuma.
However, Chitsulo said they used necessary procedures and standing orders to prepare for and conduct the hearing.
“After we conducted the interviews every member rated Chizuma. A team from the Secretariat collected the scores and calculated the result.
“As a person I was also shocked with the results. I asked for guidance from the committee’s counsel and then proceeded to announce the result. Some members protested the result and we allowed them to calculate the result using the scored but they also got the same average of 14.9,” said Chitsulo.
On why nine members gave Chizuma a score of one on the question of qualification yet Chizuma has the required Master’s Degree, Chitsulo said each member made their decisions independently.
“Everyone made their decision as an individual and maybe they have their own explanation,” she said.
She then rejected claims that the committee received K18 million bribe to reject Chizuma. The PAC chairperson described the claims as “a total lie” but said she could not speak for individual members.
Chitsulo, however, said in her own opinion she does not have any issues with Chizuma getting the ACB role, as she is the right person for the role.
Chizuma failed to get the PAC nod despite passing technical interviews for the role and later being appointed by President Lazarus Chakwera.
She is widely considered to be the right person for the ACB director general position following her stellar performance in her current role as Ombudsman where she has shown willingness to fight against office abuse and maladministration. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
From Tree to Table
The maple syrup production process gets its start from one of nature’s true phenomena. In springtime, when the nights are below freezing, water from the soil is absorbed into the maple tree. During the day, warmer temperatures of about 40 degrees Fahrenheit create pressure that pushes the water back down to the bottom of the tree, making it easy to collect the precious maple sap. The sap is gathered over 4-6 weeks, usually between early March and late April, according to the region. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Maple’s nutty, vanilla and spicy hints can liven up many classic recipes. The all-natural sweetener makes a great ingredient in glazes, rubs or barbecue sauces for poultry, meat, seafood or vegetables. It also adds a subtle touch of sweetness to a range of dishes, from fresh fruit, cereal and ice cream to tea, coffee, and smoothies.
Spice up your cooking and download popular maple syrup recipes here. You will be surprised about the big difference a tiny pour of pure maple syrup can make in flavor.
Using pure maple syrup as a healthy sugar alternative in baked goods and deserts is easy as pie. Follow these simple conversion tips:
- For every 1 cup of granulated sugar, substitute 2/3 cup of maple syrup.
- Reduce the quantity of liquid ingredients in the recipe (water, milk, juice) by about 1/4 cup.
- Maple syrup can also serve as a one-to-one substitution for other liquid sweeteners, such as honey, molasses and corn syrup. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world, and those who love this sport, want to train or play on the court all the time. However, a simple and crude open-air basketball court will definitely affect your enthusiasm for playing.
Compared with professional basketball courts with wooden floors and complete supporting facilities, many outdoor basketball courts suffer from wind and rain every day. It not only seriously affects the life span of the basketball court, but also cannot increase the operating time, and cannot attract more basketball fans to the court, let alone undertake basketball competitions.
Durable and Inexpensive Outdoor Basketball Court Makeovers

The clear span for the tent is from 3m to 60m, the height is from 3m to 10m, and the length could be increased infinitely by 5m.

My working concept for my Blood Angels army is the Faceless Strike Force, with 100% of the models in helmets. I wanted Space Marine Scouts in my army, which posed a small problem: the Scout kits only come with bare heads.
Some Googling turned up two easy options for alternate scout heads: Skitarii Rangers and Militarum Tempestus Scions. The latter looked a bit too “WWII Germany” to me, and the Skitarii had the added benefit of being hooded — a perfect match for my Scout snipers and their camouflage cloaks. A quick trip to Ebay later and I had a bag of Skitarii Rangers heads to convert my Space Marine Scouts with sniper rifles (paid link).
I talked a bit about the limited uniqueness and posability of the Primaris Infiltrators here on Yore, but these Scouts take that to a whole old level: exactly one bottom half, one top half, and one gun for each model. How will the heretics know they’re Blood Angels if they aren’t dual-wielding 16′ banners and wearing an entire craft store’s worth of bling?!
On the flipside, these are badass models. That’s why I bought them.
In the photo above I’ve sandwiched a Skitarii Ranger head between two Scout heads. The bottom looks the same, but the Scout heads are designed to sit in a shallow divot on each model; the Skitarii heads sit too high and have “flanges” sticking out of the neck recess.
After test-fitting a couple of Skitarii heads, I decided to build the models and then choose heads based on their poses. On the guys looking down their scopes, the larger respirators get in the way; they need the more svelte heads. Like this guy:
All of them needed a bit of trimming, some more than others. I experimented with using a file, but quickly switched to my hobby knife and stuck with that approach. Shave a bit off, test-fit the head; shave a bit more, test-fit again; and so on until it looked right.
This was my first-ever conversion project, and even though it’s quite light as conversions go it still took some work. On a couple of these Scouts, I spent as long trimming the head to fit as I did building the rest of the mini — and the more fragile Ranger heads, with the tall antennae, were too delicate for me (I nearly broke one).
If you’re looking for it, you can see the curve of the bottom of this one’s neck nub. But with paint and a wash to fill in the shadows, I think it’ll look solid on the tabletop.
I like that this conversion doesn’t look “off” — the heads are the right size, they don’t give the minis giraffe necks, and while they’re taller than the normal Scout heads they’re not that much taller. They’re still in proportion with standard Space Marines.
Another squad down! The Scout models are super-simple, mono-pose, and a bit heavy on the mold lines — but once built, they’re nicely differentiated from each other. A mini carrying a rifle as long as he is tall is always going to look pretty cool.
I dig how the Skitarii Ranger heads look on them. They’re a bit creepy, which I like, with almost a Jawa vibe, and the hoods go well with their camouflage cloaks — and should go even better once I paint them in the same camo color scheme. They’re a fun addition to my Blood Angels force. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

"The best tracks I've ridden in twenty years"
Back for a third time this year, Ard Moors is the late season blast organised by the Ard Rock team and supported by Enve composites and Saddleback.
‘Ard Moors 18 official report
Rather than racing in the Ard Rock’s Dales, this Autumn event takes place in Lordstones Country Park on the edge of the North York Moors National Park.
Hope’s Ian Austermuhle here sends it out of the green room to third fastest time on the day overall.
The wide open spaces on top of the Moors tip down steeply onto the huge, flatter plain that separates North Yorkshire’s two National Parks. And, no, that’s not the Matterhorn on the horizon, it’s Roseberry Topping; the area’s little piece of Switzerland.
Ard Moors tracks are as much downhill tracks as enduro trails, none more so than Stage One that tips down a super steep slope and into an old quarry, before dishing out endless hero turns in deep loam on a steep bracken-filled bank, and killing off almost 300m of height in the process.
The bottom of Stage One filters through a beautiful woods threading in and out of big bucket turns and over some pretty big senders. Riders were split between this and Stage Five as the best of the weekend. Most stages are around the three or four minute mark for the fastest riders, but that’s not exactly racked up pedalling or pootling along at slow speeds: at some points on track plenty are clocking over 60KM!
The Shucksmith brothers had a good weekend at ‘Ard Moors, with younger sibling Sam finishing third in the senior category behind two World Cup downhillers on his brand new G-170 29-er. The success of downhill racers isn’t surprising with Ard Moors’ massive in-stage elevation drops. In fact, some sections have reworked the bare bones of old downhill tracks and re-imagined them for today’s enduro bikes.
Ard Moors is totally focussed on the best riding and trials. The tracks are some of the best you can ride anywhere in the UK, with super-steep sections, amazing corners, jumps and features; all built by a team of dedicated builders for weeks before the event – big shout out to the Ard Rock trail crew for delivering the goods. All the chat we heard all weekend was that the stages were among the best rider’s had raced for years, and are all on private land so only accessible by entering the event too.
Over on the back (east) side of the event, there’s more wide open moorland, big skies and some hefty liaisons to reach the stage starts. Two riders here are tipping down to stage four, which was one that got savaged by the torrential rain last year. This year it was thankfully dry, so racers got treated to its massive variety of terrain including some gnarly rocky sections at the start, dark loamy woods and flat out open sections at the bottom.
Like surfing through bracken?
Or smashing up deep loam?
Jack Reading rounded off his World Cup Downhill season with a blast round Ard Moors on his Geometron trail bike, slotting into second place overall – not too shabby for a name not usually associated with enduro.
Roseberry Topping in the distance and Stage Five out of view tipping almost 300m down to the Cleveland Plain.
Tight jeans, flat pedals and style for miles from James Carr.
Did you beat your mate or not? Probably the question asked by hundreds of riders this Sunday afternoon…
Ard Moors’ fastest riders on the day were Gabriele Gelgotaite and Joe Breeden of Intense Saddleback in the Female and Male overall categories respectively.
See you next year if you fancy what one old downhiller described as, “the best tracks I’ve ridden in twenty years…” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Most important features of a well-written research paper
Almost every class that you take in school will ask you to write a research paper. That is why it is so important that you understand the most important features of college essay writing . They will help you to develop an excellent paper. If you are able to master the important features of the paper, the rest is easy. You will have your paper done in no time.
Flow of information
When you are writing a research paper, the point is to prove your main point. You need to do this in a clear and easy to follow way. If your paper lacks a smooth flow of information, it will be hard to understand. It will be hard for your audience to understand the points that you are trying to make. To make your paper sound with facility you can get assistance from my paper writer. Using transitions will help the flow of the paper. It is the best way let your reader know that you are transitioning to a new topic. You need to think of your paper as a road map. You are presenting an idea and then walking them through it from beginning to the end. You wouldn’t be able to find your way without street signs, so think of your transitions as these street signs. Visit our professional research paper writing service for students.
One of the most important parts of a research paper is the evidence that is used to prove the points. The presentation process has three parts. The first is the actual evidence. You will want to find a credible source that proves your point. You can use a direct quote to prove your point or paraphrase it for greater effect. You want to put it in your own words and show that what you are claiming is true. Next, you need to explain why the evidence proves your point. It is not just enough to present the evidence. You want to explain why it proves what you are trying to prove. This is important to be able to explain the reasons why it proves the point instead of just presenting the evidence. Finally, you will want to explain why it matters. What does the proof mean to the overall idea? You should take it one step further to ensure that the proof makes sense and really hits home. Think of it as a way of convincing your audience that what you are trying to prove is real.
The introduction is important because it sets the entire paper up. You will need to make sure that you are focusing on only giving background information that is really important to proving your point. Many people make the mistake of writing their introduction first. They simply talk about some background information and don’t touch on only what is important to proving the points. That does create a problem. You want to just focus on what the reader needs to know to not take away from the main point.
Strong thesis statement
The thesis statement is the main point of your paper. It is the entire reason why you are writing it. Therefore, you want to make sure that you are choosing the right topic and one that is really important to the overall concepts that you are discussing. You want your paper to have meaning and to express points that are important.
Well-written research papers incorporate these important features. If you can incorporate them into your paper, you will be on the right track to writing a great paper everytime. These tips are what you need to create a piece that you can truly be proud of.
Recommendations from qualified writers
“A thesis statement is a backbone of your paper as a whole.” - masters at writing from custom paper help. Not only does it specify the main idea of your paper, but also it makes your readers clear what your work is about.

We inspire all children to develop a life-long love for health and wellbeing, physical activity and exercise. Our Physical Education curriculum teaches all children to look after their bodies, by mirroring and further enhancing the whole school focus on healthy living, physical activity and positive mental health. Our children engage in high quality, active, engaging and challenging PE sessions which encourage skill progression. In line with our whole school ethos, our PE curriculum nurtures and develops skills which all children can apply in other lessons and in other areas of their lives. Despite potential barriers to participation, all of our children experience a broad range of extra-curricular and enrichment opportunities, which allows them to experience activity in different contexts and promote life-long habits. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
