So I didn’t get the job with the brewery. Not because of any personal failing (save accepting it weeks ago) but because it was no longer available. The good news is that I am heading out to Manitoulin Island next week in order to meet with their IT Manager and visit the site. The exciting part here is that Jen gets to come along and we’re spending two nights out there!
We’ll see how that goes. I took some pictures this weekend, some nudes, some family. The family pictures aren’t so good. I’m hoping to take better pictures this weekend of the confirmation of my newphew. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As long as there has been the exchange of money, there has always been fraud. From Hegestratos, the first recorded fraudster in 350 BC Ancient Greece, to Charles Ponzi’s infamous scheme of redistributing investments, to the present day, criminals have always tried to find new and more sophisticated ways to dupe people out of their money.
Authorized Push Payments are the new big thing
For a long time, the blame has fallen on those defrauded. But the Financial Ombudsman Service has been making noise of late that this could be about to change, especially concerning APPS. Authorized Push Payments (APPs) are a type of scam that encourages someone, either an individual or business, to transfer money from their own account to a seemingly legitimate account. Once this is done, the money is usually quickly transferred to other accounts and out of the country, making it hard to recover.
In 2018, news broke of an APPS scam hitting a cancer patient and her elderly mother. They lost over £20,000 and their ability to pay for her care home. Wrongly or rightly, the bank claimed it was not liable. At that time, it was at the discretion of the bank to decide whether or not to reimburse the defrauded account. Should banks decide that the account owner was careless and grossly negligent for falling for the scam, they could refuse to reimburse the tricked customer.
The Financial Ombudsman Service later said, however, that this was unfair, hence banks now have to provide evidence that the consumers scammed were in fact grossly negligent. But before we start playing the blame game, let’s look at the bigger picture.
In 2017, 56% of fraud in the UK was cyber-related
These scams aren’t just a promise for fortune from a questionable ‘Nigerian Prince’, but rather, increasingly elaborate and realistic schemes. The reason for the growing complexity of user-targeted fraud is that criminals always pick on the weakest link. Where once this may have been the banks themselves, today banks and building societies have many security protocols in place to help prevent crime. According to UK Finance, they stopped £2 for every £3 in attempted fraud in 2017.
As it’s become more difficult and expensive to target the tech itself, it’s no wonder that fraudsters are going after customers with renewed vigour, in a manner that would make Hegestratos proud. By manipulating the insecure behavior of people, they manage to bypass what are otherwise secure systems. That’s why the FOS has also warned that people must adopt simple behaviors, such as not writing your PIN on the front of your credit card or automatically taking unsolicited email communications purporting to be from your bank at face value.
There should never be a single point of vulnerability, layering up is key
We don’t know how much the burden of responsibility will shift from customer to bank in the future, but what’s apparent is that further user education must be combined with a layered approach to cybersecurity across all business/consumer relationships – i.e. there’s never a single point of vulnerability for criminals to exploit. This of course will mean there’s no single point of culpability either.
Whether it’s a combination of two-factor authentication, biometrics, adoption of email protocols such as DMARC, security awareness training, the creation and enforcement of tighter policies and procedures, etc, the specifics may differ from organisation to organisation, but the rationale should remain consistent. Namely, we need to make the tech better to deal with these attacks, and humans less vulnerable. Ultimately, we need to adopt an attitude of shared responsibility for improving our defences, rather than just assigning blame when those defences are breached. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The shortest unit of time recognized by The Interuniversal Transdimensional Time Travel Council of Geneva, Wisconsin (or ITTTC) is the Planckojiffy*.
And the reason that the Planckojiffy is the shortest recognized unit of time is because the Planckojiffy just so also happens to be the shortest unit of time that can ever possibly be measured.
A Plackojiffy is equal to the amount of time that it takes for light to travel through a vacuum for the distance of one Planckojigger**, which correspondingly is the shortest unit of distance that can ever possibly be measured.
So in other words, in terms that the video gamers amongst you will most certainly understand, the Planckojiffy is effectively and essentially the frame rate of our universe, with the Planckojigger itself being equivalent to the pixel size, thus defining our “screen resolution”.
Due to this and other similar strange serendipities there are certain people who have suggested that our entire reality is in fact nothing more than a giant computer simulation (or video game if you will) in which we ourselves are nothing more than player characters, or, if my own personal suspicions prove correct, in most people’s cases non-player characters.
I once asked Schmelnoz about this and in response he immediately stopped whatever it was he was doing, briefly stared at me, glitched in and out and pixelized for a few seconds, and then went right back about his business as if nothing had happened.
“Any other questions?” he mumbled offhand.
I kept my mouth shut after that because I just so happen to cherish my own personal sanity.
*Don’t bother trying to look that word up because as of the time of my writing this it is isn’t even in the dictionaries yet. And by the time it is in the dictionaries the dictionaries have already become obsolete because people stopped using them a long time ago.
**In The Present for some reason we refer to these units as “Planck length” and “Planck time”. A Planckojiffy (aka “Planck time”) is an unimaginably short amount of time. We’re talking like 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 seconds. You can look that up if you want to. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Choosing the right work anniversary gift involves matching options like personalized items, tech gadgets, or experiences to the recipient’s preferences and contributions.
Selecting the right work anniversary gifts requires understanding the recipient’s preferences and work environment. Here’s a guide to help you find a thoughtful and appropriate gift.
Before choosing a gift, consider the recipient’s role, interests, and personality. A gift that aligns with their professional achievements or personal tastes will be more meaningful. For example, a high-level executive might appreciate something sophisticated, while a creative team member may prefer something more unique.
Personalized desk accessories can be a great way to acknowledge a work anniversary. Items such as engraved pens, custom nameplates, or a personalized calendar add a personal touch to the recipient’s workspace. These gifts are not only practical but also serve as a daily reminder of their accomplishments and your appreciation.
Leather goods are a classic choice for work anniversary gifts. Consider items like a leather notebook, a stylish briefcase, or a high-quality wallet. These gifts offer a blend of functionality and elegance, suitable for professionals who appreciate traditional, durable items.
For those who are tech-savvy, consider gifts like portable chargers, quality headphones, or a sleek gadget organizer. These items cater to the modern professional who values convenience and technology. Tech gadgets can be both practical and innovative, making them a popular choice for work anniversary celebrations.
When you’re unsure of the recipient’s preferences, a gift card can be a versatile option. Choose a card for a favorite store, restaurant, or online retailer. This approach allows the recipient to select something they truly want or need, ensuring that the gift is appreciated.
Offering an experience can be a memorable way to celebrate a work anniversary. Consider tickets to a concert, a gift certificate for a spa day, or a cooking class. Experience-based gifts provide an opportunity for the recipient to enjoy something beyond the ordinary, creating lasting memories.
Accompanying your gift with a thoughtful message adds a personal touch. Express your appreciation for the recipient’s hard work and dedication. A sincere note can enhance the significance of the gift and strengthen your professional relationship.
By considering these options, you can select a work anniversary gift that is both meaningful and appropriate. Whether opting for personalized items, high-quality goods, tech gadgets, gift cards, or experiences, the key is to choose something that reflects the recipient’s preferences and acknowledges their contributions. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Graduate Assistant, Armstrong Browning Library
The Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, more commonly known as the White Star Line, was a prominent British shipping company. Founded in 1845, The White Star Line, operated a fleet of clipper ships that sailed between Britain, Australia, and America. The ill-fated Titanic was perhaps their most famous ship. The Armstrong Browning Library has a few connections to the Titanic. One connection relates to a set of postcards that disappeared with the Titanic and another relates to the author of the hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” the song that was purportedly playing as the Titanic sank. The Armstrong Browning Library’s collection includes a letter with the White Star logo in its heading and several letters written on board ships or while individuals were preparing to board ships. The letters, written between 1841 and 1912, are lines from people who were passengers on SS (Steamer Ships), RMS (Royal Mail Steamers), or HMS (Her Majesty’s Ship). It is interesting to note that one of the first purposes of steamers crossing the Atlantic was to deliver the mail. These lines, written from steamer ships, may shed some light on the adventure and danger presented by steamer travel in the late nineteenth century.
Wilson Barrett (1846-1904) was an English manager, playwright, and actor. In 1893 he packed up his touring company and came to the United States, landing at New York. Newspaper reports the company performing, interestingly enough, in New Orleans, Houston, and Galveston.
In the following letter, Barrett regretted that he could not have brought his play to London, but the White Star Line required his scenery by the 6th of November.
I should have come to London with Virginius but the White Star Steamship C’y will not take my scenery after the morning of the 6th – & as I do not finish in Liverpool until the 7th – it became impossible.
Wilson and his troupe made their trip to the United States on the White Star Line’s SS Teutonic.
During the first eighteen years of service from 1889 to 1907, the Teutonic sailed on the route from Liverpool to New York City, making an average of one sailing per month. In October, 1913, the ship narrowly avoided the same fate as the Titanic when, at 172 miles east of Belle Isle off the Newfoundland coast, she ran so close to an iceberg that she avoided collision only by reversing her engines and putting the helm hard aport. According to the October 29, 1913 issue of the Chicago Tribune,
…the liner passed within twenty feet of the iceberg. The fog was so thick that even at that small distance the berg could scarcely be distinguished. It was so close that there was danger that the propeller of the ship would strike it as the vessel went around. The passengers were not aware of their peril until it had been averted. They signed a testimonial to the captain and his officers expressing their gratitude and admiration for the care and skill displayed by them. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
After watching the lecture and reading “Caudillos Versus the Nation State”, I could see some of the appeal behind a caudillismo system. The Caudillos could appeal to the marginalized, as it is claimed that Guatemalan caudillo Rafael Carrera did when he restrained the state and vouched for the peasant’s rural autonomy. With the power vacuum and institutional upheaval following all of these independence movements, it makes sense why regional power brokers would emerge to unite people amidst uncertainty and change.
I think the Caudillos offered a lot: substantial and practical financial benefits to their gauchos, along with the food, apparel, and other currency that’d entail. Under the wing of a caudillo, political and personal vendettas could be enacted against enemies. If we look back on previous lessons discussing Latin America’s confounding identity, the caudillos might’ve instilled a sense of identity better than a liberal democracy would have. After all the caudillos united communities, empowered commoners in local affairs, offered protection in legal and more visceral conflicts.
This amounts to a system of clientelism, patronage, but most importantly, reciprocity, which I would think there’d be a high demand for after the inequitable tyranny of the Spanish. Mixed-race and impoverished people had a part to play and reward to gain in newly formed states. While the caudillos were responsible for much suffering, I think a nuanced view can still condemn them and see the benefits they brought. As far as post-independence periods go, perhaps the caudillos do provide caveats that a liberal democracy wouldn’t. Whereas elites are able to manipulate pretty much all political systems, caudillos seemed to have more to say to the elites than most corruptions in democracies do. Another flaw in a liberal democracy lies in the populace’s ignorance and biases. This is true of the United States now, which is more polarized now than in a long time. To impose that on an uneducated and inexperienced nation would likely yield similar results, and even now the multiculturalism and equality of democracy is yet to be hashed out in parts of Latin America.
With all of this being said, I came across this political ad for the 2020 election. I can’t attach the video here but I can give the URL, just enable the ads to access.
What is there to say about a country that prides itself on being a liberal democracy when the #1 person in power begins acting like a “caudillo” (according to this ad)? What could this advertisement tell us about the way the United States perceives Latin America? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Zantac litigation landscape is a vivid illustration of the intricate complexities characterizing mass tort cases. This evolving narrative highlights not only the challenges but also the resilience essential for all parties involved – from the plaintiffs and defendants to the legal professionals steering through these stormy seas.
Zantac, once a widely prescribed medication for heartburn and other gastrointestinal conditions, fell under severe scrutiny after it was discovered that it could potentially decompose into N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a substance recognized as a carcinogen. This revelation triggered a wave of litigation, claiming that prolonged Zantac consumption could escalate cancer risks. To streamline the handling of the thousands of arising cases, these were amalgamated into a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL).
The Current Status of Zantac Litigation
A pivotal moment in the litigation occurred when the MDL’s presiding judge dismissed all of the plaintiffs’ expert testimonies, casting shadows over the viability of thousands of claims. This move seemed to undermine the plaintiffs’ capacity to substantiate their allegations, potentially derailing the entire litigation process. Nonetheless, lawyers nationwide persevered, maintaining over 70,000 pending cases across various state courts, showcasing a collective resolve to pursue justice.
Developments Across the States
An examination of the Zantac litigation across different states reveals diverse developments and statuses:
- California: Defendants initiated settlements for cases on the verge of trial, with GSK resolving a case slated for trial in February 2024 to sidestep litigation distractions. Settlements continue as cases draw near to trial.
- Delaware: Home to the largest aggregation of Zantac cases, Delaware awaits a decisive ruling on the admissibility of plaintiffs’ expert testimonies, a decision anticipated in March 2024. This ruling is expected to significantly impact both Delaware’s docket and potentially other jurisdictions.
- Philadelphia: Here, bellwether cases are being selected for trial, with the workup process for these cases currently in progress. These initial trials are poised to gauge future litigation strategies and outcomes.
Implications and Strategic Considerations
The Zantac litigation underscores the unpredictable nature of mass tort cases, where strategic adjustments can drastically change the legal proceedings’ trajectory. A favorable ruling in Delaware regarding expert testimonies could catalyze settlement strategies nationwide, potentially leading to a broad resolution of these cases.
Moreover, this litigation spotlights the significance of adept case management and strategic legal planning. Successful navigation through the complexities of such cases requires meticulous attention to every detail, from plaintiff intake and qualification to the nuances of legal strategy and courtroom maneuvers.
As the Zantac litigation progresses, it remains a pivotal study in the management and resolution of mass tort litigations. The possibility of widespread settlements, influenced by forthcoming legal decisions, marks a potential watershed moment in the litigation. This scenario emphasizes the need for sophisticated legal strategy and adaptability to the shifting legal environment, ensuring that justice prevails for the impacted individuals. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

About the Book
Book: Blood Sisters
Author: Jim O’Shea
Genre: Christian Suspense/Thriller
Release date: June 16, 2020
Libby Meeker is seeing things.
The young Salt Lake City architect is experiencing visions of her twin sister, despite the fact that Melissa died mysteriously almost one year ago.
If that’s not bad enough, a serial killer surfaces in northern Utah, and a series of bizarre clues lead Detective Troy Hunter to Libby…and unspeakable possibilities that begin to shatter her fragile world.

This book was full of suspense. I found myself captured by it,
reading way too late to finish it. I just had to know how it ended.
It is a psychological thriller with lots of twists. O'Shea's writing
style is captivating and kept me reading.
were two issues I had with the book. It starts out following two
separate narratives that do combine a ways into the book. At the
beginning, however, the separate narratives are not identified and it
would take me a paragraph or two before I understood the narrative
had changed. The second issue is the ending. I like it when the
killer is revealed and I think, ah, I should have seen that as there
were clues. I don't like it when the killer sort of comes as a
surprise, not being hinted at. That's what happens here.
though I felt there were minor flaws in the book, the compelling
nature of the writing and the psychological suspense over powered any
defects. I am really impressed there can be a very good Christian
psychological thriller novel. I'll be watching for more from this

About the Author
The author of two previous highly-rated thrillers (The Linen God and The Reluctant Disciple), Jim O’Shea spends his time crafting novels of suspense that frequently tackle the dynamic between faith and science. Jim believes God continues to reveal his creation masterpiece through scientific discovery, and that Christian fiction is a great tool to expose those emerging truths.His third novel, “Blood Sisters”, is also very highly rated on Amazon but takes a more traditional approach to mystery/thrillers with a mind-bending whodunit in the tradition of Agatha Christie. His fourth novel, “The Beacon”, will return to his faith/science roots and feature a compelling blend of espionage, leading-edge science, and salvation.
More from Jim
I’m fascinated by science in general, but more specifically by discoveries over the past hundred years that point directly to a Creator and His creation. The new findings fly in the face of mainstream physics which suggests matter and energy make up everything in our universe and that all things, including our consciousness or soul, are direct results of their interactions.
Fortunately, humankind’s advancements in physics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology, etc. point directly to the fact that the universe had an actual beginning as claimed in the Bible and our existence can not be explained by natural processes such as evolution. This should be a great comfort to every Christian, and my writing often tries to take these emerging truths and wrap them up into page-turning stories that provide the reader not with just a thrill ride, but also a glimpse into God’s glory!

Innovation Zone proposal
Councillor Bill Revans, Leader of Somerset County Council has welcomed the Chancellors announcement that the Gravity site, just north of Bridgwater, could be part of one of the first of the Government’s new Investment Zones.
Cllr Revans said: “We need to see the detail of how a new Investment Zone will work, but I am very pleased that Somerset looks like it could be a pioneer for the concept.
“With our plans for the Gravity site, our support for renewables and Hinkley Point C coming on stream later in the decade, we can put Somerset at the heart of the new Green Energy revolution. We have also identified significant growth opportunities in our other major towns. There is a prize here to be seized – and we have our eyes on that prize. “
Councillor Duncan McGinty, Leader of Sedgemoor District Council commented: “I broadly welcome Investment Zones for the Somerset. This could be an important tool for Somerset, with significant investment opportunities like Hinkley Point C, and Gravity in Sedgemoor. We will also work extremely hard to make sure that Sedgemoor remains a green and climate-friendly area.”
The former Royal Ordnance Factory north of Bridgwater has been identified as a potential site for a Gigafactory. The 616-acre site has the potential for an onsite rail terminal and sits by J23 of the M5 motorway. The total project could deliver up to 7,500 skilled jobs in the County. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
- Rodri claimed the 2024 Ballon d'Or Award ahead of Real Madrid and Brazil winger Vinicius Jr on Monday night
- Real Madrid boycotted the ceremony following news that Vinicius would not be awarded the Ballon d'Or
- Meanwhile, Los Blancos have blamed UEFA for the unexpected outcome of Rodri pipping Vinicius to the prestigious honour
Don't miss out! Join Briefly News Sports channel on WhatsApp now!
Manchester City's midfield general, Rodri, shared that he received a heartfelt congratulatory message from a Real Madrid player following his 2024 Ballon d'Or victory.
The 28-year-old edged past Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior to claim the coveted honour on Monday, 28 October, at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris.
Real Madrid snub Ballon d'Or Awards as Rodri wins prize
PAY ATTENTION: Briefly News is now on YouTube! Check out our interviews on Briefly TV Life now!
Reactions to the post:
Here are some of the responses to the news.
"A good move."
"Great decision... hala Madrid!"
"I heard that Vinicius was the main reason to cancel the trip as he informed Perez that he isn’t going if he doesn’t win."
"Shameless old man."
"Let's focus on winning everything this year and not show up for the ballon d'or next year as well."
The absence of Madrid’s six nominees and club representatives underscored their disappointment with the award’s outcome.
The Madrid player who congratulated Rodri
Despite this tension, Rodri revealed that his close friend and Madrid right-back, Dani Carvajal, reached out in a show of sportsmanship.
“I talked to Carva; he deserved it too!” Rodri noted, as cited by MadridXtra.
“The first call I received when I left [the gala] was from him. He’s a player with whom I’m very close, even more so now with the injury. He’s a player who shares the same values as me; he congratulated me.”
Rodri’s tribute to Carvajal highlights a bond that transcends club rivalries, underlining mutual respect and the sportsmanship integral to football’s competitive spirit.
Pep Guardiola criticises Vinicius
In another report, Briefly News noted that Pep Guardiola seemed to criticise Vinicius for missing the 2024 Ballon d'Or Awards ceremony.
The Spanish manager’s remarks came after Vinicius opted not to attend Monday night's event.
For context, an insider from France Football also revealed why the Brazilian forward ultimately lost the award to Rodri.

The star of the series, Vitalka, who now serves as a sergeant major in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, visited Lviv during his vacation and met his colleague Taras Stadnitsky.
Ukrainian actor and showman Garik Bircha, known for his role in the TV series Vitalka, appeared in public for the first time in a long time.

New Solutions Elevate Insurance Verification – Reducing Administrative Burden and Enhancing Patient Care
Henry Schein One today announced Eligibility Essentials and Eligibility Pro, two powerful tools designed to simplify the insurance eligibility process for dental practices, available now for Dentrix and Dentrix Ascend. Eligibility Essentials streamlines access to accurate, up-to-date insurance data from an extensive network of payors presented in a clear, uniform format directly within Dentrix. Eligibility Pro, an advanced option, goes even further by pulling in additional benefits data from payor portals, reducing the time staff spend manually gathering information, and allowing patients to make better-informed decisions regarding treatment.
Eligibility verification has traditionally been a time-consuming process, with dental staff members spending valuable time logging into patient portals and calling payors for eligibility data one patient at a time. The standard Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) connections often do not deliver responses from many payors, and when they do, the information is frequently incomplete. This forces staff to call help lines or access payor portals for required coverage data.
Eligibility Essentials reduces administrative burden, and empowers dental practices with fast, accurate coverage insights — all within the trusted platform the dental profession has come to rely on. Eligibility data from each payor is returned in a standardized PDF format, automatically saved to the document center, and will populate in the patient’s insurance tables. This consistency makes it easy to find and use the necessary information for treatment planning.
Taking insurance verification to the next level, Eligibility Pro unlocks more benefits data by delivering information from payor portals in addition to the EDI data provided by Essentials. This includes patient history, frequency limitations, procedure-level coverage percentages, remaining benefits, and network coverage. By eliminating the need to log into multiple insurance portals, the dental staff saves valuable time, and treatment plan acceptance may improve since patients better understand their coverage and out-of-pocket expenses.
“Dentrix Eligibility Essentials and Pro help foster trust between dental practices and patients by minimizing insurance surprises,” said Dr. Ryan Hungate, Chief Clinical Officer, Henry Schein One. “As a care catalyst, Henry Schein One empowers practices with detailed benefit information, enabling accurate discussions about treatment plans and financial responsibilities with patients. This leads to happier, more satisfied patients who are more likely to remain loyal to and recommend the practice. Looking ahead, we'll continue to push boundaries to support our customers in managing insurance eligibility.”
Dawson Family Dentistry, located in Danville, Illinois, recently beta-tested Eligibility Pro. “Eligibility Pro has cut patient processing time in half. Hygienists can check coverage instantly, and the confidence it brings has transformed our workflow,” said Amy Kaminski, Business Manager at Dawson Family Dentistry. “I have hygienists who will look at the breakdown to find out if they can do fluoride, to know if they can do bite wings, and it saves them from having to message the front-desk team during the day. It's right there for them to check.”

The towing business can be a reliable stream of incoming. However, before you start providing towing services, there are several factors you have to consider. Remember, the towing services you offer your customers should give them value for their money.
And that can be hard to achieve. You just do not wake up one day and become an expert in towing services. However, it does not mean that it cannot be done. You can still build a successful towing company.
The towing business requires a lot of commitment. It will not bring you money overnight. You have to be ready to be patient. You have to believe that your towing company will ultimately become successful. But that is only possible if you put in the work. Innovation is also an important aspect of the towing service. You have to be on the lookout for new trends in the towing business. The aim should be to ensure that you bring a product that will satisfy your customers. That means you have to bring experts in towing manufacturing just to ensure that you create an efficient product. Therefore, complacency is not something you have to fancy when it comes to the towing business. Be willing to grow. And also, be ready to provide corporate social responsibility services. That will go a long way to marketing your business and bringing in more clients. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

There are a few ways to import stickers to Notability, but I recommend this process:
Download straight to your device, or download on your computer, email/airdrop the files to yourself and open the email on your device and download to the Files app.
In the Files app, unzip file folder by tapping on the compressed folder. Wait a few moments for the folder to be created containing the files.
You’ll find folders for Frames, Inspirational quotes, Headers, and more. Tap on one of these folders.
To split the iPad screen you need to gently swipe up from the bottom of your screen until you see the dock appear.
The ‘iPad Dock‘ shows your favorite apps or those that you have opened recently.
Tap and hold the Notability app, then drag it to either side of the screen to start the split view.
Simply select and drag the sticker from the files app (or camera roll) and into the planner. Watch for the green plus sign + to appear in Notability and then release.
And there you have it! Happy planning! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
We welcomed Karan Gokani (@karancooks) to the Gozney Kitchen to cook up one of his favourites – chicken tikka with a rich makhani sauce on a naan dough base, a combination of his love of North India and everyone’s love... pizza.
For the dough
1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the milk, oil, yoghurt and mix well. Then slowly add the water and stop adding any more when the dough begins to feel sticky.
2. Knead well for 10-15 minutes to achieve a soft supple dough that doesn’t stick to your hands at all when worked.
3. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with clingfilm. Rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
4. After an hour, divide the dough into 3 equal balls and place on a tray and cover tightly with clingfilm. Refrigerate overnight.
5. Remove and bring to room temperature for 2-2.5 hours until well risen and almost doubled in size.
For the Makhani / Butter chicken sauce
1. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Fry the onions and whole spices with a pinch of salt until the onions are golden brown but still soft and not crisp. About 8-10 minutes.
3. Add the ginger and garlic and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes.
4. Add the spice powders with a splash of water. Cook for 30 seconds and add the tomato sauce.
5. Cover and cook on medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring often until the sauce is thick and the fat rises to the top.
6. Pour in the cream and stock and cook for 8-10 minutes on low heat.
7. Add the kasoori methi, stir through, check seasoning, adding salt and honey as required.
8. Cool to room temperature before using on pizza, or add some chicken tikka, paneer or vegetables to it and enjoy as a curry.
For the Chicken Tikka
1. Add ½ tbsp each of ginger and garlic paste, along with the lime juice and ½ tsp salt to the chicken pieces and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
2. Mix the remaining ingredients for the marinade and add the chicken to it. Store covered in the fridge for at least 3 hours, but ideally overnight.
3. Skewer the chicken and place them in a cast iron pan which has been preheated to about 250°C in the Roccbox.
4. Place in your Gozney pizza oven set on the lowest flame setting for 8-10 minutes, checking every 2-3 minutes and rotating the skewers or the pan if necessary.
5. You want the chicken to char in spots, but if it starts getting too dark, turn off the flame and leave it in the oven for a few minutes longer as it will continue to cook in the residual heat without charring further.
6. After about 10 minutes, remove the chicken and check the thickest pieces in the middle of the skewer for doneness.
7. Garnish with a generous drizzle of ghee or melted butter and freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve with a wedge of lime and some thinly sliced red onion rings on the side.
For the pizza
1. Using plenty of dry flour, open each dough ball as you would a pizza. Note the dough will feel tighter than plain pizza dough and need a good stretch.
2. Top with a ladleful of Makhani Sauce (at room temperature).
3. Sprinkle over some pieces of roughly chopped chicken tikka, paneer pieces marinated in a pinch of garam masala and turmeric, mozzarella cheese and freshly cut green chillies.
4. Cook the pizza for about 2 minutes in the front of the pizza oven at 450°C, reducing the flame if the crust begins to burn.
5. Remove and top with some roughly chopped coriander leaves and thinly sliced red onions tossed with chaat masala and lime juice. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Running a profitable food business is only possible with the ideal monitoring systems. Tracking all the storage and use of all the food that comes in has many merits that we will discuss herein. The HACCP food safety checklist is crucial for hazard analysis, among other key management functions. When buying a new system or upgrading the one you have, it is essential to confirm that the manufacturer has the HACCP certification. This guarantees you a good product with the standard requirements of regulatory bodies in this sector. Some of the benefits of using a food monitoring system include the following.
Efficiency and convenience
The food temperature monitoring system makes workflow efficient and convenient for human resources. All data is tracked and logged automatically. Additionally, all information can be accessed in real-time, improving the response time to a crisis and preventing the use of contaminated food. Cloud-based storage is an emerging trend in this sector. Accessing the different reports and data through multiple channels improves collaboration within the team, and there is a seamless flow of information from one department to the next.
Systems in food monitoring help the company save cash in different ways. The constant assessment of the equipment and performance records from the data generated play a critical role in ensuring that everything works as it should. With this intelligence, the operators can detect and repair damaged equipment. This early intervention and risk management guarantee that the business garners profits.
The consistency the system offers a company ensures that the clientele is happy, thereby increasing customer satisfaction by a wide margin. Generally, the food temperature monitoring system has a significant Return On Investment as it prevents costly risks and product loss that could run the business down.
Eliminates human error
The automated system that most providers in this industry provide is critical in eliminating human error that could cause irrevocable damage to the business. The system’s reliability allows for 24-hours monitoring by the management with real-time updates and improves service provision. Manual processes are prone to errors and deliberate mishandling of the available information.
The automatic system also ensures that data logging takes less time than using human resources. However, it is advisable to have regular updates and a human eye monitoring the different processes as they occur in real-time. Compliance is another critical area that the human mind can miss, and this could cause a run-in with the authorities. Removing human error is crucial in ensuring that the inspection scores are accurate and within the guidelines set by the control bodies in this industry.
The food business requires accurate temperature control to guarantee the longevity of perishable supplies. The automated systems currently in use in this realm also provide stock control features. Using the numerous system features, you can protect your business and, by extension, the brand by ensuring that the food sold or served is good quality. If you want to improve food safety in your operations, do not hesitate to get a comprehensive temperature monitoring system. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Protein requirements have been well researched and in recent years, while scientists are starting to agree on some key issues much more research is to be done before we fully understand this diverse nutrient. Public opinion however, tends to move in cycles with opinion being influenced by the media, the internet and pseudo-scientists. It’s no wonder many athletes are struggling to decide just how much protein they actually require?
Why is protein important?
Protein is an essential nutrient in the diet, being used to manufacture body proteins that have important structural and functional roles. Structural proteins are needed to build connective tissue, cell membranes and muscle cells. Regulatory proteins act as enzymes or transport vehicles. Proteins are made up of various sequences of about 20 different amino acids. Eight of these amino acids are essential and must come from the diet. Some amino acids are used as a minor fuel source during exercise.
Do athletes require more protein?
In the last 20 years, detailed research has enabled scientists to measure protein metabolism during exercise and recovery, and to monitor protein balance in athletes. Endurance athletes in heavy training require extra protein to cover a small proportion of the energy costs of their training and to assist in the repair and recovery process after exercise. Strength athletes, who are interested in gaining muscle size and function, require more protein in the early stages of very intensive resistance exercise. However, strength athlete’s muscles seem to adapt to the stress of resistance exercise, so that the protein requirements to maintain protein balance in very well-trained athletes are only marginally greater than those of generally active people. Athletes, who are growing, such as adolescents, have additional protein requirements. The table below summarises protein requirements for different types of athletes or exercise activities. Since athletes come in various shapes and sizes, it is easier to keep track of these requirements by relating them to the size (body mass or BM) of the athlete.
Table 1: Estimated protein requirements for athletes

TORONTO — Canadians will be among the first Twitter users with access to a host of new features, but for the first time the offerings will come with a fee.
The San Francisco-based tech giant unveiled Twitter Blue — its first paid subscription product — on Thursday. The long-rumoured offering will cost $3.49 a month for Canadians and be available to iOS users in the country and Australia first before reaching the U.S. and international destinations later this year.
Twitter Blue gives subscribers the ability to create folders for bookmarked tweets, access a reader mode that presents posts and threads in a decluttered fashion and receive dedicated and faster customer support.
Subscribers will also get access to an “undo” feature that lets them set a timer of up to 30 seconds to edit a tweet, reply or thread before it gets posted.
The company says it has no plans to eliminate the free version of Twitter it has long offered users.
While Twitter’s platform is intended to target a broad swath of users, the company’s senior director of product management said Twitter Blue was designed for a very specific set of consumers — so-called super users who are highly engaged with the platform and spend a lot of time on it for either leisure or work purposes.
“One of the things that we’ve been thinking about a lot is our most engaged and our most passionate Twitter super users who often want to take their experiences to the next level. We don’t always build things for their needs,” Sara Beykpour told The Canadian Press.
“Twitter Blue … gives us an opportunity to provide a paid subscription product to really meet the needs of these passionate, super users.”
It chose Canada for the launch, Beykpour said, because there is a strong pool of super users seeking new features.
The market was also chosen because it has hosted previous pilots including a “hide replies” test, and is home to a engineering hub the company plans to open in Toronto, said Paul Burns, managing director of Twitter Canada.
The launch of Twitter Blue comes as tech giants face increasing calls for regulation and concerns over their reliance on advertising to make money.
The Liberal government in Canada, for example, has long been teasing new legislation that could require social media networks to pay taxes and remove hateful content from their platforms with 24 hours of it being flagged.
Meanwhile, Apple has taken aim at advertising criticisms with an April iOS update for iPhones and iPads, forcing apps like Twitter to have consent from individual users before they can track anyone across apps.
In the first quarter of 2021 alone, Twitter made US$899 million on advertising revenue.
The Apple update will have a “modest” impact on advertising revenues, Twitter said in a note to shareholders.
When asked whether Twitter Blue is meant to introduce revenue streams that could be more reliable than advertising, Beykpour pointed out the company’s first-quarter advertising revenue is a 32 per cent increase from the same period last year and said the company plans to diversify its revenue streams.
“It’s a smart move to do that and advertising is one part of that diversity but having more lines will help us invest in our future,” she said.
As part of that push, Twitter acquired newsletter publisher Revue in January and Scroll, a subscription service that removes advertising from news sites, in May.
Twitter’s approach to paid offerings follows similar moves from YouTube, which operates a premium service removing ads during videos for $11.99.
By offering its own paid option, Beykpour hopes Twitter can learn even more about what users want from their social media experiences.
She said, “Everyone is always very vocal about their opinions on Twitter, but our super users are particularly helpful, so I think we’re going to get a lot of great signals.”
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 3, 2021.

Adventurers Week is off to a great start today! Monday was filled with a ton of exciting activities and a lot of learning. The day started with a bunch of campers jumping in the chilly lake for the polar dip. Then we had a delicious breakfast of pancakes, sausage, and fruit (some kids even saved pieces of their sausage to use as fishing bait – the fish love to share our breakfast)!
After breakfast, we played a game where the campers went around Camp to find different activity stations and get stamps in their “passport.” There was a lot of running and laughter. After that, we had morning chapel with Bobber Bill; he talked about Luke chapter 5 and Mark 1:15.
Following lunch and a relaxing Toes-Up Time, it was time for the campers’ favorite game! The Camp staff and counselors all hid around Camp, and the kids were sent out to find them. If a camper found a staff member, they got to push them in the lake!
Then, it was time for free time. Free time today featured fishing, swimming, boating, crafts, and a game of wiffleball on Camp’s new Legends’ Field.
Tonight after dinner and an evening cabin adventure, we had our carnival on the ball field! There were games, cotton candy, popcorn, face-paint, a dunk tank, and a dance party. Kids collected tickets to win cabin points, and everyone had a blast! We were all sad when it was over.
Now, the campers are in evening chapel hearing from Bobber Bill once more before bedtime. We are excited to keep learning more from Bill tomorrow as he talks about what it looks like to be a part of God’s team.
Tune in tomorrow for more of the Adventurers’ adventure at Camp!

I am Haiyue Yang, a bold and enthusiastic freshman in class 2028. I have a good academic performance and have actively been seeking opportunities to achieve personal growth. I also have a wide range of interests, such as music, sports, and photography, to be engaged in numerous campus activities. I also have excellent communication skills to be able to build good relationships with people from different nations. I am here for the SLB co-chair because I found there are still some problems waiting to be solved on this beloved campus. For example, as an intercultural campus, we do not currently have an emergent medical team for possible emergent cases. If I am selected, I will introduce professional medical first-aid training for students and have student workers help with emergent circumstances. Moreover, there are still some inconveniences on campus that I found as a student, such as improper use of classified trash cans and the lack of carton recycling, which will highly influence residents’ life quality and sustainability. Personally, I would like to regard this position as an opportunity to achieve personal growth. One significant reason I mentioned during the campus day interview was that I want to grow with this thriving campus. My vision of finding problems and my ability to solve problems would be greatly improved during my tenure in this position. Furthermore, although I have already learned the basic social rules in different cultures, I am still eager for opportunities to work more jointly and closely with people from different cultural backgrounds. Last but not least, I am passionate and confident, willing to contribute my time to the joint growth of me and DKU.
It’s pretty hard to say anything about myself. Any person has so much they have been through, so much they’ve done, they do and want to do in the future. To narrow yourself down to words and only 300 at that, can be daunting. Talking to people, having shared experiences, learning why they think the way they do, what their dreams and ideas are is one of the best things about being a human – in my opinion. That’s why I think the role of a Student Leader Board member draws me so much. It basically makes me responsible for getting to know people, how they feel and what they want – and trying to help them reach it. Contributing to the creation of the environment that DKU provides and trying to continuously make it a better place for everyone to grow, express themselves and explore – is something I would find honor and enjoyment in. The time I’ve spent here already made me realize that this is a really special place. And I want to contribute as much as I can – to not only keep it that way – but to push beyond. As to who I am; My name is Matyas ;) I’m from a somewhat rural part of the Czech Republic. Planing to study Cell and Molecular Biology. I like music… just about to enter a band competition so wish us luck! I try to always find new interesting things and skills to learn. I love traveling and very often completely without a plan. Meeting interesting new people when I travel is the best part. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Sometimes, it looks like dating is much better than dating a relationship. And frequently, it seems like the best times thus far are when you are single. Gently dating is an amazing way of reaching to understand a number of different people, whilst never sense tied down by simply someone until occur to be almost sure you will absolutely ready for a heavy relationship. Is actually not a sin, but it absolutely is designed for everybody possibly. Understanding the total dating as opposed to relationship variety, though, is essential if you’re looking to avoid heartache and unnecessary pain. For anyone who is not sure whether dating is greater than dating a relationship, below are a few reasons to consider the pros and cons of dating both.
One of the advantages of dating as opposed to relationship is that it allows you to spend more time alongside one another. When you’re in a romantic relationship, which good chance you’ll be hanging out apart from one another. While this may be fine for a few weeks or perhaps months each time, it can absolutely get tiring and uninteresting after awhile. After a while, your spouse will start to observe all of the efforts you’re putting into making plans and trying to generate plans with them and think that they may be worth a reduced amount of because an individual do anything entertaining with your time. On the other hand, when you are single, you may just be her and enjoy every single other peoples company, which will actually be more enjoyable than implementing a marriage.
Another advantage of dating as opposed to relationship is the fact it allows you to really see how much the two of you like each other before you commit to spending some time together. This might be not true in every situation, but in many cases, couples shell out as well considerably period together before they’re actually sure of themselves. Once they have decided to date, sometimes they have very much interest in making the night out with their fresh partner because memorable as it can be that they prove to be overly romantic rather than knowing each other very well. By seeing casually, you can study a lot czech women about a person before you may spend too much time with them. This can also be crucial if you are going from a sightless date or perhaps something of these nature.
Many people feel that dating versus relationship much more about flirting with one another than building an actual relationship. Nevertheless , it can really be more regarding building a true connection with your companion before you decide to take things to the next level. It might sound cliche, although occasionally it’s only easier to step out on a time frame if you understand that the the two of you have the same involvement in the additional and that both of you will be open and genuine with one another. If you go out with your partner and you find that you could have much more in keeping than you became aware, you can build your relationship into something that can become a long-term commitment.
If you think about casual dating or perhaps relationship distinctions, it can be good for talk about what those variances are and how you think they will help you along with your partner to grow being a couple. For example, some of the biggest dating compared to relationship differences that occur sometimes center around children. Father and mother often think of their kids the moment their various other family member will go out of town. However , this isn’t at all times the best way. In fact , it might often lead to resentment between parents and their kids.
This is why, there are many different rewards that come from casually internet dating vs romance.

What problem do you see this solving?
I do a lot of in-camera cropping to different Aspect Ratios. This information is not picked up by Capture One. This wastes a huge amount of time in my workflow as I have to re-do my crop for every image. The time spent applying the crop is significant when processing a large amount of images, but even more significant is the prior step of time spent checking which aspect ratio needs to be applied to each image. Ideally RAW images would come into Capture One with the camera-generated crop already applied, this would be brilliant. (I can't confirm, but have read that this is possible in Photoshop and Lightroom for example).
An alternative if this isn't technically possible is to at least allow cropping data to be carried over from Photo Mechanic. I use Photo Mechanic for a first cull of images, and often apply a crop in order to evaluate the images suitability. If I apply all my crops in Photo Mechanic it saves this information in the XMP sidecar file, but Capture One doesn't read this crop data.
(I have seen a reply from Capture One Support on this forum which said, " Capture One only reads meta data out of XMP files and does not support reading crop data out of XMP."
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
This occurs every time I am processing a new set of images.
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One? I shoot RAW + Jpeg so that I can use the Jpeg file to show me the correct Aspect Ratio. This means effectively duplicating all my RAW files, with obvious impacts on storage etc, while also wasting time. | | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Canada, other countries block Chrysotile asbestos from U.N. hazardous list
Chrysotile asbestos will not be listed as a hazardous industrial chemical that can be banned from import after countries including Canada and Ukraine blocked consensus, a United Nations spokesman said Friday.
The decision was taken at a meeting of states that have ratified the Rotterdam Convention despite the treaty’s scientific review body having recommended the inclusion of “white” asbestos on health grounds, a U.N. spokesman said.
“Several countries declared in plenary problems they had with the inclusion of chrysotile (asbestos), including Canada, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam,” U.N. spokesman Michael Stanley-Jones told a news briefing in Geneva.
Australia, Chile and the European Union (EU) were among those seeking the inclusion of chrysotile on the 2004 treaty’s trade “watch list” of chemicals and severely hazardous pesticides which exporters must share information on.
“That chemical will come before the next conference of the Rotterdam parties in 2013,” the spokesman said.
Endosulfan, a pesticide banned in many states but still used in many tropical countries on crops including coffee and tea, was added by consensus, he said. So were two other pesticides, alachlor and aldicarb, bringing the total list to 43 substances.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in his successful campaign for the May 2 general election, sought votes in Quebec and defended one of the province’s most controversial exports — asbestos.
Health and public safety groups had been pressuring the federal and Quebec governments to halt exports of asbestos, a fire-retardant mineral used in construction that is linked to deadly lung diseases, including cancer.

Province mourns loss of search and rescue member Sweatman: Premier
Premier Christy Clark and Solicitor General Shirley Bond offered condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Ymir resident Sheilah Sweatman, the BC Volunteer Search and Rescue technician who lost her life in the course of her duties on Wednesday.
“I want to express my heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of this brave woman who lost her life during this Search and Rescue call-out,” said Premier Clark.
“As a province, we are extremely fortunate to have so many dedicated Search and Rescue volunteers who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. My thoughts and prayers are with Sheilah Sweatman’s family” and the community of Ymir and Nelson.
It was with deep sorrow that Solicitor General Bond said she learned of the tragic loss of Sweatman, a 29-year-old resident of Ymir.
“This is a tragic example of the risk SAR personnel face and we will provide any support that is needed,” said Bond of the Goat River tragedy. “We cannot begin to express our gratitude to the thousands of SAR volunteers in this province who provide an invaluable service, giving selflessly of their time, to keep the public safe.”
The British Columbia Search & Rescue Association has suffered an immense tragedy,” said Don Bindon, president of BC Search and Rescue Association.
“Words cannot express the sympathy we feel for the family, friends and colleagues of (Sheilah),” he said. “Each day we accept that Search and Rescue work is not without risk but when it happens we realize we can never be prepared.”
On Wednesday, June 29, the RCMP contacted BC Volunteer Search and Rescue requesting assistance with a vehicle that left the road and was submerged in the Goat River, south of Creston.
With the use of swift water line equipment and a swift water craft, Search and Rescue personnel set out to search the vehicle to determine if anyone was trapped inside.
Shortly thereafter, Sheilah Sweatman went overboard into the river and did not surface. The BC Coroners Service will be investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A recent study has definitively linked losing teeth with higher chances of developing coronary heart disease (CHD). This 18-year project illustrated that those who lost two or more teeth were 23 per cent more likely to develop heart conditions. Other takeaway points included:
– Other factors such as diet were and body weight were independent variables.
– Those who lost one tooth were not at a significantly higher risk.
– A dentist can help diagnose the extent of oral health issues.
“The researchers were able to assess tooth loss over a period of 8 years.”

In a recent study merging the fields of quantum physics and computer science, Dr. Jun-Jie Zhang and Prof. Deyu Meng have explored the vulnerabilities of neural networks through the lens of the uncertainty principle in physics.
Their work, published in the National Science Review, draws a parallel between the susceptibility of neural networks to targeted attacks and the limitations imposed by the uncertainty principle—a well-established theory in quantum physics that highlights the challenges of measuring certain pairs of properties simultaneously.
The researchers’ quantum-inspired analysis of neural network vulnerabilities suggests that adversarial attacks leverage the trade-off between the precision of input features and their computed gradients.
“When considering the architecture of deep neural networks, which involve a loss function for learning, we can always define a conjugate variable for the inputs by determining the gradient of the loss function with respect to those inputs,” says Dr. Zhang, whose expertise lies in mathematical physics.
This research is hopeful to prompt a reevaluation of the assumed robustness of neural networks and encourage a deeper comprehension of their limitations. By subjecting a neural network model to adversarial attacks, Dr. Zhang and Prof. Meng observed a compromise between the model’s accuracy and its resilience.
Their findings indicate that neural networks, akin to quantum systems mathematically, struggle to precisely resolve both conjugate variables—the gradient of the loss function and the input feature—simultaneously, hinting at an intrinsic vulnerability. This insight is crucial for the development of new protective measures against sophisticated threats.
“The importance of this research is far-reaching,” notes Prof. Meng, an expert in machine learning and the corresponding author of the paper.
“As neural networks play an increasingly critical role in essential systems, it becomes imperative to understand and fortify their security. This interdisciplinary research offers a fresh perspective for demystifying these complex ‘black box’ systems, potentially informing the design of more secure and interpretable AI models.”

Novak Djokovic, who described his performance as “rusty,” believes that his dominant victory over China’s Zhang Zhizhen was the perfect start to his summer season. He is confident that he will improve even more before the Australian Open begins.
On Sunday night, Djokovic easily defeated Zhang in a 72-minute match, giving Serbia a 1-0 lead against China in the United Cup tie held in Perth. In the women’s singles, world No 15 Qinwen Zheng evened the score at 1-1 with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over world No 119 Olga Danilović. In the mixed doubles, Djokovic and Danilović joined forces and ultimately won with a score of 6-4, 1-6, 10-6 (match tiebreak), securing a 2-1 victory just moments before midnight.
If Serbia manages to defeat the Czech Republic on Tuesday, they will secure a spot in the quarter-finals.
Zhang initially posed a challenge in the singles match on Sunday night at RAC Arena, utilizing his strong serving to keep Djokovic at bay. However, in the second set, Djokovic’s dominant performance caused Zhang to struggle. Djokovic’s quick footwork and strong shots wore down Zhang, allowing the 24-time grand slam winner to quickly take a 4-0 lead and secure the win.
“I struggled a bit in the beginning. I was not in sync and had trouble finding my rhythm for the first five or six games,” Djokovic explained. “This is to be expected when you haven’t played a competitive match in over a month. It takes some time to get back into the swing of things. My opponent was serving strongly and didn’t have much to lose. But when I managed to break his serve at 3-2 in the first set, I felt the momentum shift in my favor.”
Novak Djokovic, who hopes to secure his 11th victory at the upcoming Australian Open, is content with his current level of physical fitness. He stated, “I am still working on building my body and improving my form for Melbourne.” Djokovic emphasized that he aims to be in top shape for the Australian Open and is pleased with his performance during the opening week. He looks forward to continuing to progress and move towards his goal.
Djokovic explained that his determination to succeed and his willingness to set ambitious goals are key factors in propelling him to unprecedented levels of success. He acknowledged that this mentality has been developed over time and may be perceived as unrealistic or conceited by some.
I have always had a strong belief in myself. I am confident in my abilities as a well-rounded player. When I am in top form, I have the potential to win any grand slam or tournament. This is not a secret and I am not afraid to admit it. My goal is to break more records and make history in the game, which serves as my motivation.
Djokovic has appeared at four Olympic Games, with his best result a bronze medal in 2008, and the lure of Olympic glory at this year’s Paris Games is something he craves.
“I am hoping to win another medal for Serbia at the Olympics. It would mean a lot to me,” he stated. “This is one of my top goals for the year. Throughout my career, I have been in this position many times and I am familiar with what I need to do to keep my body, mind, and spirit in the best possible condition to break records and surpass my limits.”
Australia’s chances of advancing to the quarter-finals rely on their upcoming match against the current champions, the USA. This follows the American team’s 2-1 win against Great Britain. In the match on Sunday, Great Britain initially took the lead when Katie Boulter defeated world No 5 Jessica Pegula with a score of 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
On Monday evening, Taylor Fritz, ranked number 10 in the world, balanced out the score for the American team by defeating Cameron Norrie 7-6 (7-5), 6-4. Fritz and Pegula also secured a win for the Americans in the mixed doubles, with a 1-6, 7-6, 10-7 (match tiebreak) victory over Boulter and Neal Skupski.
After losing 2-1 to Britain in the tournament’s first round, Australia needs to win 3-0 against the US on Monday to secure a spot in the quarter-finals. If they win 2-1, the team’s advancement will be determined by the number of sets won in matches against the other two teams. However, if they lose, Australia will not move on to the next round. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Every year there’s big hype around the new marketing methods and techniques that become available. Although some of these can be useful, it’s been found that the older methods more often than not provide greater value and better ROI. Vanity numbers are a tried-and-true marketing method that can take phone sales to a whole new level. These are like standard inbound numbers, but they contain words, making them easier to remember. They can supercharge the marketing efforts of your business. If you are from Australian, you should note that 1300 number phone words are called vanity numbers in the USA.
In this article, we will discuss the characteristics that are found in successful vanity numbers and share some examples of the most popular vanity numbers across the world.
Characteristics of Best Vanity Numbers
1. They Deliver Results
Vanity numbers became popular when larger firms started to use them. Some of the established brands that are using these numbers include FedEx, Dominos, MCI and UPS. Research shows that consumers find it easier to recall vanity numbers than website URLs. Moreover, it is much easier to remember a contact number when there are letters in it instead of numbers.
The best vanity numbers deliver results. They make it easier for customers to connect with a business. Moreover, they are easier to remember. So, when you are choosing a vanity number for your business, make sure that it is simple and easy to recall for customers. Otherwise, you will struggle to get the kind of results you desire.
2. They Provide Recognizable Advertising
There won’t be any confusion about what your business stands for if you have a good vanity number. Can you really confuse 1800 FLOWERS or 1800 OFFICE with any other similar business? Include your vanity number in your advertising messages and you may see a surge in your conversions.
Popular Vanity Numbers
Some of the most popular vanity numbers across the world include:
The company name is included in this number. A vanity number that contains the name of the business is called a brand vanity number. If your business is well-known, you could consider using a brand vanity number.
When Flora Plenty acquired this number, it wasn’t a widely recognized company. It renamed the business to match its vanity number and this worked out pretty well for the company.
The number of this online attorney referral firm states exactly what the company provides – lawyers.
It is hard to see better use of a homophone than this. It is clear from this vanity number that you can get a zip car by calling this number.
The company that has this vanity number previously used a different one. This number asks a question and makes it easy for the customer to understand what the business is about i.e. junk removal.
Take inspiration from the most popular vanity numbers and come up with your own 1300 number phone word that is easy to remember and represents what your business is all about.

As a young mother – and the founder of Mama & Joey, an Isle of Man-based company that offers sustainable maternity and breastfeeding-friendly clothing – Katy Collister has her hands full.
The Manx businesswoman launched Mama & Joey earlier this year and has since been busy doing everything from designing the company website, to sourcing suppliers, and handling marketing.
“We try to pick items that can be worn before, during and after pregnancy so clients can get the most wear out of these carefully selected items,” explains the mother of two young girls.
Collister is also conscious about conservation, noting that budget prices combined with clever marketing from large corporations encourage consumers to make impulse purchases without thinking about the wider implications, including the environmental impact and even factory working conditions.
“The fashion industry contributes enormous amounts of carbon dioxide to our atmosphere and fast fashion items just aren’t designed to last. I like to stock timeless styles that don’t follow current trends, won’t go out of fashion, and won’t be thrown away in a few months’ time.
She also prefers to stock items made in Britain, but this has proven difficult and is one reason why she has been looking at developing her own product range. Her current suppliers are global, and Mama & Joey now offers handmade tops and dresses made from repurposed saris in India, and brands that use recycled materials or are made from organic cotton or hard-wearing linens that stand the test of time.
“We also use eco-friendly compostable postal bags and brown paper bags when selling in person.”
Her brand appeals to other new parents who share her environmental concerns.
“It is our children’s generation that will be left to try and repair the damage caused by global warming.”
The mental and physical load of being a parent can be overwhelming at times, however, and she occasionally needs to take a break from her efforts to be sustainable – guiltily resorting to disposable diapers once in a while.
“Sometimes we just have to be kind to ourselves and realize that it is okay to be imperfectly trying our best. As a family, we continue to do what we can do to reduce our environmental impact. We switched to a plant-based diet – doing our best to eat locally sourced produce – and we try to minimize our packaging and food waste and buy lots of second-hand items.”
Although – like parenting – running a business can be exhausting, it has also been a dream come true. Still, it took Collister a long time to tell her husband that she longed to start her own venture.
“He was incredibly supportive, but for me it has brought fears and anxieties to the surface that I didn’t know existed, and yet I wouldn’t change a thing…It is absolutely worth it and every time someone tells me that they love an item that I have stocked, or I make a sale, I can’t describe how happy it makes me.”
Family love and encouragement is the most precious reward of all.
“My eldest daughter Elowen is three and she tells me she is proud of me and wishes me luck every time I head off to a pop-up shop event and that makes it all worth it.”
Collister says we can all be doing more to reduce our environmental impact on the planet.
“Particularly within the fashion industry, as consumers we need to look beyond the price tag of an item and think about how that item came to be. More generally, I have noticed that vegan alternatives are becoming more mainstream, and there is so many more choices available now.”
She says that producers and manufacturers have a big responsibility to ensure they move towards sustainable practices, and consumers need to support the companies that have already taken that step.
“The biggest thing we can do is just consume less. Investing in slow fashion pieces will cost more initially but remember that fast fashion pieces are not designed to last. If you take a longer-term view, you can absolutely save money on the cost per wear.”
In her own business, Collister plans to increase her range of products and move into stocking reusable and eco-friendly mother and baby essentials.
“I also want to open a retail store if I can find the right space. Longer term, I have plans to launch a Mama & Joey branded range to offer sustainable and ethical slow fashion pieces that can be worn throughout breastfeeding days and beyond.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Moisturizer vs Lotion: Unveiling the Hydration Hierarchy
The Big Picture: Skin and Hydration
Before diving into specifics, let’s understand our canvas: the skin. Imagine it as a brick wall. The outermost layer, the stratum corneum, acts like the bricks, holding everything together. However, these bricks need “mortar” to stay strong – that’s where moisture comes in.
Moisturizers and lotions both aim to hydrate this crucial layer, but they take different approaches. So, which one do you choose?
The Lightweight Contender: Lotions
Think of lotions as the refreshing sorbet of the hydration world. They’re typically water-based, with a light, easily absorbed texture. This makes them ideal for:
- Normal to oily skin: Their non-greasy nature won’t clog pores or weigh down already oilier complexions.
- Warm weather: They sink in quickly, providing a burst of hydration without feeling heavy.
- Daytime use: Their light feel makes them perfect for layering under makeup or sunscreen.
However, their strength lies in their lightness, which can also be a weakness. Lotions often have lower oil content, meaning their hydrating effects may not last as long as their thicker counterparts.
The Heavyweight Champion: Moisturizers
Picture moisturizers as the rich, decadent mousse of the hydration game. They have a higher oil content, creating a thicker consistency that:
- Provides intense hydration: Perfect for dry or dehydrated skin, especially in colder climates.
- Offers a protective barrier: The thicker texture can help shield skin from environmental aggressors.
- Locks in moisture: Their oil content creates a seal, preventing moisture loss for longer periods.
While their benefits are undeniable, their richness can come with drawbacks:
- Potential for greasiness: Some, especially thicker formulas, may feel heavy on oily or sensitive skin.
- Slower absorption: They may take longer to sink in, making them less ideal for daytime use under makeup.
Beyond the Label: It's All About You
So, which one reigns supreme? The truth is, there’s no single winner. The best choice depends on your unique skin type and needs. Consider these factors:
- Skin type: Normal to oily? Opt for lotions. Dry to dehydrated? Moisturizers are your friend.
- Climate: In hot weather, lotions provide lightweight hydration. Colder climates call for the protective barrier of moisturizers.
- Personal preference: Do you prefer a light, refreshing feel or a richer, more cocooning experience?
Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to experiment! Combine both! Use a lotion in the morning and a moisturizer at night. You can even use a lotion on your body and a moisturizer on your face, where skin tends to be more delicate.
Beyond the Basics: Additional Hydration Heroes
Remember, the world of hydration doesn’t stop at lotions and moisturizers. Consider these additional options:
- Serums: Highly concentrated formulas target specific concerns like wrinkles or uneven skin tone.
- Face oils: Offer intense nourishment for dry or mature skin.
- Hyaluronic acid: This humectant attracts and retains moisture, plumping the skin.
The Final Verdict: Hydration Harmony
…So, which hydration hero reigns supreme? The truth is, there’s no single champion. The best choice depends on your unique skin type and needs. Consider these factors:
- Skin type: Normal to oily? Lotions are your refreshing sorbet. Dry to dehydrated? Moisturizers offer rich, indulgent mousse-like hydration.
- Climate: In hot weather, lotions provide lightweight respite. Colder climates call for the protective barrier of a decadent moisturizer.
- Personal preference: Do you crave a light, fast-absorbing feel or a luxurious, cocoon-like experience?
Pro Tip: Don’t just choose one! Embrace the hydration buffet! Layer a lotion in the morning for a quick pick-me-up, and indulge in a richer moisturizer at night for deep nourishment. You can even mix and match, using a lotion on your body and a moisturizer on your delicate facial skin. Remember, consistency is key. Find your hydration harmony and watch your skin transform from parched to radiant!
Bonus Tip: Consult our Central Wellness Skin Experts for personalized recommendations based on your specific skin concerns and needs. They can help you navigate the vast world of hydration heroes and craft a routine that makes your skin sing! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Delabs Games Embraces Telegram with New Ragnarok and Boxing Star Games ChainPlay

29 days ago
Delabs Games’ Shift to Telegram for Ragnarok
South Korean developer Delabs Games has said that the popular role-playing game series Ragnarok will launch on Telegram in the first quarter of 2025. This is a significant change for the business, which is turning to the expanding Telegram crypto gaming market. The popular brand will get a new adaptation that is tailored to the Telegram environment and focuses on maze exploring gameplay. This modification is a component of the company's larger plan to capitalize on the platform's potential in the gaming industry.
In order to maximize Telegram's messaging platform, the new Ragnarok game will include special social aspects. These features will be integrated into the gameplay, allowing players to interact more directly within the app. By embracing these social tools, Delabs Games hopes to enhance the experience for Telegram users while keeping the original spirit of Ragnarok. The game will not only stay true to the franchise's legacy but will also introduce modern elements, including Web3 features, which will appeal to both new and longtime fans.
Delabs Games has secured new funding to support this venture, receiving backing from TON Ventures and a private investor. TON Ventures is aligned with The Open Network (TON), a blockchain network connected to Telegram. The TON network has seen rapid growth in 2024, thanks to successful crypto games like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat. This backing is an essential part of Delabs’ push to develop crypto gaming on Telegram, tapping into the platform’s expanding ecosystem. The company’s move towards Telegram represents a strategic shift, aligning with current trends in the gaming and crypto industries.
Boxing Star’s Telegram Release
In addition to Ragnarok, Delabs Games is also planning to adapt its mobile game Boxing Star for Telegram. Slated for release in Q3 2025, Boxing Star has already been a major success on mobile platforms, with over 70 million downloads. The game’s adaptation to Telegram will likely expand its audience, bringing the well-loved boxing game to crypto gamers on the platform. This step signals Delabs’ commitment to integrating its most successful titles with Telegram’s growing gaming ecosystem.
Before making this pivot, Delabs tested Telegram’s gaming potential with its July launch of the baseball-themed game Giga Chad Bat. Additionally, Delabs’ parent company, 4:33 Creative Lab, has experience integrating games into social platforms, having worked with titles like Blade and Hero on South Korea’s Kakao platform. Delabs also developed Rumble Racing Star, a racing game reminiscent of Mario Kart, and has other projects in the works, including Metabolts and Space Frontier. These projects highlight Delabs' track record of adapting games to new platforms and their forward-thinking approach to the gaming industry.

And sometimes, more often than with my lady loves, I see a fine piece of sumpin like this:
Joe Manganiello from True Blood...and I think that if I were a single lady, I would track him down and beg for a piggy back ride.
All of this really stems from the fact that Eric, I mean Alexander Skarsgard just broke up with Kate Bosworth.
First, no one told me they were dating. Second...that means Eric, I mean Alex Skarsgard, likes tiny waifish women. I have officially ended it with him.
Just thought I would keep you abreast of my latest delusions. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Howdy to all this AM. Here we are mid-week again! Almost a week into November. It is a dreary, damp morning here. We got rain last evening and then a lot of rain over night! Not raining this morning, but things are sure wet.
I was getting ready to go out and feed Licorice and the birds and saw a big old opossum run across the street, up the drive and by the time I got out there - it was in the back yard. It sure was gnarly looking! LOL. It was then daylight, and it saw me and took off. Licorice had breakfast in peace!
Now that we have had the 'time change' - have you readied your home in other ways than just pantry? It is a good time to change furnace filters, change directions on ceiling fans, check and change batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Bring in those batteries for battery operated yard tools. The extreme cold can truly affect them - trust me I found out the hard way in the past!
Patch any cracks in foundation - so 'critters' can't get in your home. Do you know where your snow equipment is? Is it easy to get to? Do you have hats, gloves, blankies in your car - in case?
Check your window and doors for air tightness. Extra blankets for you and pets IN CASE! Do you have a generator and fuel?
Just things to think about!!
Now is the time to start to closely watch the grocery sales. Baking supplies will be on good sales in many places for the next 8 weeks or so. Watch the meat prices - especially turkey and ham. If you have room and can do it - buy as much as you can while on super sales. Cheap turkey and ham - cooked and carved - is much cheaper and healthier than cold cuts. You get many meals as well.
I have read that turkey prices will be down this year by a good 15% from last year. Lindl had turkey already for .39/lb.! Eyes open.
Cranberries, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, winter squash, canned goods like beans, soups, and holiday specialties will be on sale.
Think about buying bread on clearance or cheaply and drying your own for dressing/stuffing. It is so easy to do - I make my own still to this day. If I don't use for dressing - it becomes breadcrumbs.
Many dairy items, like creme cheese, sour cream and heavy cream will be on sale.
Look for eggs - this week Kroger has their 18 count eggs on digital coupon again for 2.49.
Did you buy any after Halloween candy? Use it in your holiday baking.
Make sure you also look at obscure places to shop - not just grocery stores. I got the opportunity to run into Menard's yesterday (hadn't been in 2 years!!) - so many fun and inexpensive food options and stocking stuffers and a rebate to boot! Check out places like Big Lots, Ollies, TJ Maxx, etc. Not just food items, but things you will need for the winter as well.
Furnace filters, ice melt, scrapers for vehicles, hats and gloves, throws, draft dodgers for doors, books, batteries, door mats, and gifts galore! So much to be had at inexpensive prices if you pay attention.
Do what you can, while you can, with what you have. Stock up a little here and there. Always have eyes wide open for a bargain or deal.
We never know what the weather will be, who may lose a job, what kinds of shortages may happen, if you get an illness, unexpected emergencies, etc. - so it just makes sense to be prepared.
If you are worried about full freezers in an emergency situation, think about canning those items. Basically, everything can be canned.
Don't panic - just slowly stock things as you find deals and have the funds. Slow and steady wins the race!!!
Check around all places - you never know what kind of deal you may find.
Have a beautiful day to all! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
University of Michigan Council, Center for Education
Although widespread agreement exists that content knowledge is essential for effective instruction, what is actually meant by "content knowledge" varies. Terms such as "mathematical knowledge" and "pedagogical content knowledge" are used in different ways by different people, often without anyone noticing the confusion. We suggest that efforts to design opportunities for teachers to learn mathematics are hampered by this lack of specification and discrimination, and the lack of shared definitions for terms and ideas about "content knowledge." In this session, we will explore a set of distinctions that our research group has developed to "map" the territory of "mathematical knowledge for teaching" and consider what might be involved in helping teachers learn these different domains of content knowledge.

The Elite Steppers dance team from the SONYC afterschool program at Queens United Middle School 289 began the last school year with hopes of entering and competing in the DYCD Step It Up NYC Competition. While the girls did enter and make it to the second round of the competition, what happened next was far more rewarding and valuable for the participants and their growth!
The Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) created the Step It Up NYC initiative to leverage the performing arts to build community leadership capacity in young people ages 10-20. Dance and step teams not only compete, but also plan community service projects and develop citywide social campaigns to speak up about issues that impact their communities.
The teams were charged with exploring a topic related to their community as well as representing 50 years of hip-hop. The girls chose to focus on gun violence, as it is something that has been affecting them all. Gun violence in schools had become so prominent throughout the country, and the participants had peers who had been exposed to gun violence during and after school. Just within the community alone, there have been so many incidents and reports that the girls felt moved to represent this through their dance and step.
As part of the project, the team partnered with a community-based organization called 100 Suits that helps prevent violence and promote unity and safety within the team’s community, and throughout New York City. With the help of 100 Suits staff, the Elite Steppers conducted outreach on the streets, spreading their message by interviewing and speaking to people, and performing for the community as well.
At the same time, the team members were equally dedicated to achieving excellence in their dance routines. They practiced and prepped from January to June for one hour three times a week!
In March, the team discovered that their hard work paid off and they had made it past the first round.
At their second-round performance, they did not know that a special guest, DYCD Commissioner Keith Howard, was observing in the background. He was so impressed by the Elite Steppers’ performance about gun violence that he decided to feature the team in a public service media campaign. A crew filmed them, and the video was posted on DYCD’s Instagram and YouTube accounts, which in turn caught the attention of NYC’s very own mayor, Eric Adams!
Commissioner Howard and Mayor Adams were partnering on a campaign to “Stop Gun Violence,” and they invited our Elite Steppers to perform at Gracie Mansion as the opening act for the mayor’s youth summit. They hosted the team at the mansion, gave them a tour, and a private room with snacks and drinks for them to practice. After their performance, Mayor Adams met with the girls to tell them how much he appreciated what they were doing. He went on to speak to the audience about the message the girls relayed through their performance and how impactful it was.
The Elite Steppers have since been called upon for a whirlwind of performances. Most recently they stepped at a Saturday Night Lights summer kickoff event at Basketball City at Pier 36 in Manhattan and shared their message on ending gun violence. They performed for an array of guests, including Commissioner Howard, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, former NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell, NBA stars John Starks from the NY Knicks and Albert King from the Brooklyn Nets, and all the youth from the basketball teams who were in attendance.
Thirteen-year-old Elite Stepper Ava spoke for all her teammates when she said, “Being on the team taught me life lessons: how to work together, be stronger, and have respect for my teammates and myself. It was fun to experience everything that we did, traveling to the city and stepping for not only our school, but for the mayor! I can’t wait to do it again. Being an Elite Stepper is one of the best things that has happened to me so far in my middle school years.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
COURGETTE Midas F1
COURGETTE Midas F1 An early, high yielding hybrid variety, producing Yellow spherical fruits with light cream flesh, best picked around the size of a tennis ball. Bushy compact plants make these ideal for small spaces without dense foliage which makes harvesting easier.
- A sunny spot protected from strong winds is essential.
- The soil should be well drained and rich in humus, the more the better.
- For an early start (late Mar) place a single seed edgeways 1/2inch deep in seed compost in a 3inch pot. The critical part is temperature, these need at least 65F continuous soil temperature (preferably more to maximise germination rates) until germinated.
- Keep the soil moist ? water copiously around the plants, not over them.
- Keep weed free to allow air circulation.
- Once the plants start to fruit, feed every 14 days with a tomato type fertilizer, these are greedy plants. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Leek Heirloom Blue De Solaise
Leek Heirloom Blue De Solaise. An old French Heirloom winter variety – long leeks with blue-grey leaves far more vigorous than ‘Musselborough’ and equally hardy. Very cold-resistant turning darker after frost and a good one for standing overwinter even in atrocious weather.
- Leek is extremely hardy, forgiving and can be planted as soon as the soil can be worked.
- Sow sparingly directly in drills in early-mid spring,
- the aim to produce pencil thick plants of around 8” tall for transplant to their final position.
- Can be planted in trays under cover and transplanted for an earlier crop.
- When pencil size (around Jun/Jul) lift carefully and remove the top third of the foliage and 1/3 of the roots.
- Transplant in pre-made holes of 4-6 inches deep,
- 8 inches between plants in a sunny position with rotted organic matter incorporated.
- If space is limited this can be reduced,
- provided you pull alternative plants when young to make space for the remainder to grow.
- When transplanting carefully poor water into the hole to wash soil around the roots,
- then leave and earth up as they grow to blanche the stems.
- (Do not get soil between the leaves).
- Harvest alternate plants when large enough for use. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dear all, for this Bilge Pumps we apologize in advance for the amount of Australian in this podcast. We may mention the Collins-class replacement to Jamie, we may have had a bottle of irn bru riding on how long he could talk on it for and we may or may not have come up with a solution to several problems.
So with the warning out of the way, please sit back and enjoy some Bilge Pumps as your regular crew of Alex, Drach, and Jamie take a canter through the topics suggested, some of the topics that will feature this year, and some of the current events of the last couple of weeks.
#Bilgepumps is still a newish series and new avenue, which may no longer boast the new car smell, in fact decidedly more of pineapple/irn bru smell with a hint of jaffa cake and the faintest whiff of cork. But we’re getting the impression it’s liked, so we’d very much like any comments, topic suggestions or ideas for artwork to be tweeted to us, the #Bilgepump crew (with #Bilgepumps), at Alex (@AC_NavalHistory), Drach (@Drachinifel), and Jamie (@Armouredcarrier). Or you can comment on our Youtube channels (listed down below).

MySQL is a relational database (RDBMS) which first saw the light of day in 1995, created by Michael Monty Widenius and David Axmark. It was created when the market was dominated by Microsoft and Oracle’s proprietary (and pricey) solutions.
One of the factors behind MySQL’s popularity is undoubtedly WordPress, which today powers around 60% of the CMS systems or 34% of the entire web.
WordPress was created in 2003 by Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little, as a fork of another project. It was written in PHP, it was using MySQL as its database, and when it appeared, its adoption caught up like wildfire.
WordPress quickly became synonymous with the concept of open source software and so did its underlying server stack. DisplayWP has a nice chart of the minimum required MySQL version for every WordPress release.
One of the factors that boosted the adoption of MySQL was the GPL side of its licensing. Since it is compatible with Linux, it started being included by default in Linux distributions. Today it comes included by default with Ubuntu.
MariaDB had its first release in October 2009, with version 5.1.38 Beta, based on MySQL 5.1.38. It was a fork meant to “to ensure that the MySQL code base would be free forever”.
At the time of forking, the most common fear was that the acquisition was a hostile takeover with the goal of killing MySQL. That concern, at least partly, proved to be unfounded.
Again in 2009, Monty Program AB and Percona, a company providing premium MySQL services, established the Open Database Alliance. Their goal was “to unify all MySQL-related development and services, providing a solution to the fragmentation and uncertainty facing the communities, businesses and technical experts involved with MySQL.”
The idea was “to become the industry hub for the MySQL open source database, including MySQL and derivative code, binaries, training, support, and other enhancements for the MySQL community and partner ecosystem”
Looking back at it: it is possible that these steps have prevented a worse scenario for the famous database. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Rome is something to behold from just about any angle. However, as is so often the case, the best view of Rome is a bird's eye view– preferably at sunset. But where should you set your romantic Italian Kodak moment? Here's a run-down of our top 5 views of Rome
Best Sunset View of Rome
Watching the sunset over Rome while dangling your legs over the edge of a wall in the Gianicolo is one of the most relaxed and rewarding ways to end a day in Rome. The Gianicolo, or Janiculum Hill, is the hill in Rome that affords the best view of the city. Situated just outside the Ancient City west of the Tiber, the hill is technically not one of the city's famous seven hills but who cares when you have such a stunning and peaceful view all to yourself.
We visit Gianicolo on our Rome by Night tour, which offers aperitivo (a light aperitif and wine) before embarking on a tour of the best sights of Rome by night, including the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and St. Peter's Square. After a short walking tour, we take the bus up to Gianicolo where your guide will point out all the best sights of the city below you.
Most Powerful – Campidoglio
Perhaps the most memorable view in Rome is from the Campidoglio, The Capitoline Hill. With views over the entire Roman Forum, the Campidoglio is a stunning place any time of day, but even more so after the Roman Forum closes, and all is quiet. Since the city's foundation 2,500 years ago Capitoline Hill has been the political center of the city, and for a long time the entire Roman Empire. In its day it has held the most important temples, housed the most important citizens and acted as the home of parliament. An outdoor space designed by Michelangelo, the hill is now home to many Medieval and Renaissance palaces and the Capitoline Museums.
Most Sacred – The Cupola in St. Peter's Basilica
After the steep climb up the stairs, the view of Rome from the Cupola (or dome) is a sight for sore eyes. The vast, open space of St. Peter's Square is flanked on every side by immaculate stonework in grey, white, and terracotta.
For those that battled all 312 steps on their way up, there is a massive sense of achievement in earning this snap – a worthy addition to their photo albums. Then again, even those that took the elevator part of the way had to tackle some of the stairs, but getting that bit closer to Michelangelo's masterpiece on the inside of the dome certainly makes the journey a little easier.
The Cupola can be visited independently after any of our Vatican tours. Access is €6 for those willing to take the stairs the whole way up and €7 to take the elevator part of the way. Follow the signs from the entrance of the Basilica directing you to the right side of the portico.
Most colorful – Giardino degli Aranci
Giardino degli Aranci, also known as The Garden of Oranges is one of the top spots from which to view Rome. Tucked in behind the Basilica of Santa Sabina and beside the Piazza Pietro d'Illiria, from this elevated and tranquil place, visitors witness a beautiful view of Rome's terracotta roofs, the grand curves of a dozen Basilicas puncturing the skyline.
The Giardino degli Aranci area is also a nice spot to visit for Giacomo della Porta's fountain in the Piazza; the remains of the Savelli Castle walls and of course the beautiful orange trees that populate the garden.
Most Atmospheric – Palatine Hill
You don't get much older or more historic than the Palatine Hill. The centermost of the seven hills of Rome, the Palatine Hill has pride of place overlooking the Roman Forum, Circus Maximus and of course, the Colosseum. This is the spot where Rome was founded – of course, it's included in our top views of Rome list! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
TCNJ student Bryan Remache-Patino and Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering Dr. Thomas Brennan explored quantifying the impact of COVID-19 on traffic patterns by using probe vehicle data sets in the new Journal of Modern Mobility Systems. Remache-Patino and Dr. Brennan conducted preliminary research assessing 500k speed records to characterize speed patterns visually and numerically. Using this data set allows researchers to analyze changes in traffic patterns.
For Bryan, this was a rewarding learning experience through which he “discovered a love of working with data”. He’s also grateful for the opportunity to sharpen skills he’ll need ahead of applying to graduate school, including improving his writing of technical reports and producing graphics for academic publication.
Dr. Brennan is the Co-Chief editor of the new Journal of Modern Mobility Systems alongside his former mentor, Dr. Mohan Venigalla of George Mason University. They launched this journal to allow fast publication of cutting edge developments in modern mobility systems, turning around brief articles in three months or less, to fill the research gap that often exists in publishing full-length research articles in the top journals. Dr. Brennan values this speed noting that academics often have to wait over a year to get to publication. He relishes the opportunity to help researchers “publish short articles, get a citation link and…provide free information to academics and practitioners.” Dr. Brennan described the experience of developing a new journal as very “rewarding” as he learns the other side of the publication process; doing everything from learning to recruit board members and reviewers, to learning the right computer software for a smooth process from initial submission to publication.

Geography and Environmental Sciences Associate Professor C/T Rudi Hartmann presented a paper at an International Geographical Union Symposium in Nanjing, China on "Virtual Reality Tours: New Directions for a Changing Tourism Landscape." The presentation showed examples of tourist destinations with more frequent uses of virtual reality tours available on their web sites including sites such as the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota, the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam and the Berlin Wall in Europe. Hartmann discussed some of the implications for heritage tourism and how these virtual reality tours may affect visits to 'brick and mortar' sites.

Near-Infrared Chemiluminescent Nanoparticles for In Vivo Optical Imaging
Jungjae Lee’s photoimaging techniques are a vital part of clinical diagnostics and biomedical research. Optical molecular imaging makes use of relatively harmless, low-energy light, and technically straightforward instrumentation. Bioluminescence imaging systems, particularly use of firefly luciferin, are attractive because they have inherently high signal contrast due to the lack of background emission. However, current bioluminescence imaging involves short-lived molecular species that are not stored and they typically emit visible light which does not penetrate far through heterogeneous biological media. Lee will describe a new paradigm for optical molecular imaging using singlet oxygen encapsulated inside a nanoparticle with near-infrared fluorescent dye molecules. Chemiluminescence can be stored indefinitely at temperatures below -20 oC, but upon warming to body temperature it undergoes a chemical reaction and emits near-infrared light that can pass through a living mouse. The whole-body image of chemiluminescence in our recent works provides a capability to image deep-tissue sites (> 4 cm) and consequently our optical imaging protocols can be utilized for the early diagnosis and identification of relatively deep tumor sites such as prostate cancer.

Player: Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior
Official Puma Al Hilal 3rd kit football shirt from the 2023/24 season. Complete with Neymar JR #10 on the back of the shirt in original lettering.
Condition of this original football jersey is 9/10 – Superb. Unworn (see photos).
In August 2023 Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior completed a transfer to Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal on a two-year contract The transfer fee was reported to be worth €90 million, making him the most expensive purchase in the Saudi Pro League.He is also reportedly being paid €150m a year at Al Hilal, six times the amount he earned at PSG.
According to The Independent, Barcelona were the only European club who showed genuine interest in signing Neymar; others top clubs turned away primarily due to his high salary and the expected transfer fee to sign him. Various media outlets dubbed Neymar as the 'Prince who never became King' due to leaving Europe without a Ballon d'Or and no additional Champions League titles after the 2015 win with Barcelona.
In light of the fellow star players joining the league, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, Neymar declared, "I wouldn't be surprised if the Saudi league is better than the French." His transfer to Al Hilal drew comparisons to former Brazil international Rivellino's move to the club in 1978.
On 15 September, he made his debut in a 6–1 thrashing of Al-Riyadh, coming off the bench and providing an assist to a goal by Malcom. On 3 October, Neymar scored his first goal for the club in a 3–0 away win against Nassaji Mazandaran in an AFC Champions League group stage match. Having played five games for his new club, Neymar ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament while on international duty in October 2023. In January 2024, Al Hilal deregistered Neymar from their roster as a result of his season ending injury, in order to free up one of the eight foreign roster spots for Renan Lodi.

Projections of land use and land cover change are highly uncertain, yet drive critical estimates of carbon emissions, climate change, and food and bioenergy production. As part of the Global Change Intersectoral Modeling System project, researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory use new, spatially explicit land availability data in conjunction with a model sensitivity analysis to estimate the effects of additional land protection on land use and cover. The land availability data, which includes protected land and agricultural suitability, are incorporated into the Moirai land data system to initialize the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM). Running scenarios with these new data in GCAM shows the potential land use impacts of increasing protected areas in each region to 30%.
This study advances our understanding of both the methodological and scientific aspects of land use and cover change. Methodologically, it shows the importance of using a current spatial distribution of land availability when projecting land use and land cover. The results demonstrate the importance of modeling groups studying land use change to update their models to utilize similar data. Scientifically, the study analyzes the potential impacts of protecting 30% of land by 2030 on future land use. The results indicate challenges to agriculture and provide an impetus for additional research on this topic, with additional studies building on this work.
This study shows the importance of the spatial distribution of land availability on land use and land cover projections and their dynamic inter-regional interactions. Current amounts of protected area have little effect on land and crop production estimates, but including the spatial distribution of unsuitable (i.e., unavailable for agriculture) land can dramatically affect regional crop production compared to uniform land availability. For example, using spatially explicit availability in this study shifted future bioenergy crop production from high northern latitudes to the rest of the world. In the studied scenarios, approximately doubling the current global protected area to emulate a 30% protected area scenario may avoid land conversion of less than half the newly protected extent, while reducing bioenergy feedstock land by 10.4% and cropland and grazed pasture by over 3% by 2050. Each region requires a different amount of additional protected land to reach 30%. Much unprotected land would still exist, allowing land conversion to continue within a region or to shift to other regions where more land may be available or where something is more profitable. Regional bioenergy land may be reduced (increased) by up to 46% (36%), cropland reduced by up to 61%, pasture reduced by up to 100%, and harvested forest reduced by up to 35%. Only a few regions show notable gains in some undeveloped land types of up to 36%. Half of the regions can meet the 30% level using only unsuitable land. This would minimize impacts to crop production and prices, but may or may not result in lower land use change and emissions. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Decorative Steel Panels for your home
Benefits of Decorative Steel Panels for your home
Decorative steel panels are becoming a more frequent occurrence in homes, mainly due to their versatility. Some prefer them to the standard wood models – and their durability is not to be ignored. Considering that they are made from steel, they will last for much longer as opposed to wood.
In a nutshell, decorative steel panels can be very useful in every home – both inside and out. You can place them in your living room – or in the garden, for what it’s worth. Here are a few reasons why you might want to add them on your shopping list.
Some decorative steel panels are fairly see-through – but if you get one with a “thicker” pattern, you can create a little space where no one will be able to peek at what you are doing. Granted, there will be spaces in the decorative steel panels from which an outsider can peek – but not unless they get close enough. You will get a feeling of seclusion and isolation, one which is very beneficial for a busy individual.
A garden that has been well-adorned with flowers will certainly be attractive and serene – but by adding some decorative steel panels with a nice tree design, for instance, you will be able to kick your garden up a notch. Plus, some of these decorative metal panels are the perfect growing place for climbing plants – which will certainly make your garden look nicer.
Decorative steel panels come in a variety of patterns – from stars to birch trees, branches, or flowers. You can use these panels to decorate a wall that you consider to be boring. This is a good choice if you are living in a rented house and you can’t make any major modifications to the place.
Blocking Unpleasant Sights
Some people buy decorative steel panels to prevent outsiders from seeing them – but what if you’re the one that doesn’t want to see what is on the other end. If you have an unpleasant sight or continuously gaze upon something you consider an eyesore, some decorative steel panels will hide that from you – or any people coming to visit you. You can attach them to a window – or install them in front of the problem area. Regardless, they will do a good job of hiding the “problem area.”
The Bottom Line
Decorative steel panels are a great way to improve the aspect of your home inside and out. Not only are they durable, but the right model can also improve your home’s look.
We’re sure you already have some ideas at this point – I’d like to invite you to check out our large collection of decorative steel panels. We have many dimensions and styles to choose from. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Dinosaur Planet, a new theme park, is set to take Bangkokians back to the days of planet Earth when it was home to dinosaurs later this month.

Video games have evolved from simple pastimes to a major cultural and economic force, shaping the way we entertain ourselves, connect with others, and experience digital narratives. Their journey from arcade cabinets to immersive virtual worlds reflects broader technological and social trends, showcasing how interactive media can influence and reflect modern life.
A Brief History
The roots of video gaming trace back to the 1950s with early experiments like Tennis for Two and Spacewar!, but it was the 1970s that saw the commercialization of gaming with titles like Pong and Space Invaders. These early games were straightforward and played on arcade machines, offering a simple but engaging experience. The 1980s and 1990s brought significant advancements with the rise of home consoles like the Atari 2600 and the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), allowing games to become a staple in households worldwide.
As technology progressed, so did the complexity of video games. The shift from 8-bit graphics to 3D environments marked a new era in gaming. The introduction of consoles such as the PlayStation and Xbox in the late 1990s and early 2000s brought with them enhanced graphics, richer soundtracks, and more intricate storylines. The 2010s saw the rise of high-definition graphics and online multiplayer experiences, further broadening the scope and reach of video games.
Video games have significantly influenced popular culture. Iconic franchises like Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Grand Theft Auto have become household names, influencing everything from fashion to film. Gaming conventions, such as E3 and Comic-Con, draw massive crowds and feature gaming alongside other pop culture phenomena. The rise of gaming as a spectator sport, with eSports tournaments attracting millions of viewers and participants, highlights its growing importance as a cultural event.
Social and Psychological Effects
The social impact of video games is multifaceted. On one hand, they foster community and cooperation through multiplayer modes and online platforms. Games like Fortnite and Among Us have created social spaces where players can connect and collaborate. On the other hand, concerns about gaming addiction and its impact on mental health persist. Studies have shown that while gaming can enhance cognitive skills and provide therapeutic benefits, excessive play can lead to negative outcomes such as JENTOTO social isolation and reduced academic performance.
The Future of Gaming
Looking ahead, the future of video games is poised for transformative changes. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are set to redefine gaming experiences by creating immersive environments where players can interact with digital worlds in new ways. Innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) promise to enhance game design, allowing for more responsive and adaptive gameplay. Cloud gaming is also emerging, making high-quality gaming accessible on a variety of devices without the need for powerful hardware.
Video games have come a long way since their inception, evolving from simple arcade games to a complex and influential medium. Their impact on culture, technology, and social interaction underscores their importance in contemporary society. As technology continues to advance, video games will likely keep pushing boundaries, offering new experiences and continuing to shape the way we entertain and engage with the digital world. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

b&b barcellona There is a list of hotels and b&b's at Barcelona Greetings!
I looked at many hotels on Trip Advisor and finally decided on Hotel Colon. It was comfortable, clean and convenient. It is located near the Ramblas, there is a hop-on-hop-off bus stop near by as well as a metro station. There is a sister hotel called Hotel Regencia less than a block away that may be less espensive. I didn't eat at the hotel but there is a wonderful little Italian restaurant around the corner called La Locandia. Many people from the hotel find this little gem and eat there several nights...it is that wonderful and convenient. The Colon is near the Picasso Museum and there is a market nearby where you can buy items for a picnic. You will love Barcelona.

15-yearsof SAP Russian localization anniversary was celebrated with the 5th Localization Summit in Moscow.
Russian Globalization Servicesheld this event on November 15th as always with a high quality and traditional national span.
600 representatives from SAP customers, partners and governmental institutions attended 50+ unique sessions, booths and hands-on points. Role and achievements of localization in the Digital Transformation was a leading idea this year. Strategic alignment of SAP and customers conjoint movement in that direction boosted at the event.
In strong cooperation with business towards Digital Transformation
Localization is key differentiator and enabler for business results on local markets. This was clearly highlighted in the introduction video message (in Russian) of Natalia Parmenova, COO of SAP CIS Market Unit and the most important sponsor of localization activities. The keynote session was continued by Andrey Tregubov, GS CIS Localization Lead, showing how SAP presence in Russia and interaction with local business was evolving through the years. Thomas Klaus, GS Chief Architect moved beyond historical prospective and opened the central concept of the event presenting SAP Localization Hub concept and architecture. As a logical conclusion of keynote part 6 customerswere awarded for their trusted engagement in co-innovation projects.
Enable and promote SLH
Russian team follows overall SAP GS strategy and pays special attention to SAP Localization/ Translation Hubs. Thomas Klaus kicked-off this topic explaining an approach and technology in general. Further, 4 sessions dedicated to specific topics were held in separate streams. Experts presented FaaS, TaaS, SAP Translation Hub and S/4HANA Statutory Reporting Framework in details providing examples of Russia-related features already developed for SLH Services.
Going deeper and deeper to Innovations
S/4HANA is coming alive with Russian customers. SAP client from the Siberian city Krasnoyarsk (3352km from Moscow) came to the Summit to share their successful S/4HANA implementation experience! There were 'no place to swing a cat' in rooms where S4/HANA topics were presented: S/4HANA new release 1610, migration from ERP to S/4HANA, development on SAP HCM platform, and new baseline solution for Russia from Localization Summit General Sponsor SAP Gold partner ALPE Consulting.
Breakthrough in Government Relations
As we achieved great success in co-operation with Russian state authorities, it became another cornerstone of the event. First time we held 3 sessions of different speakers from Federal Tax Service (departments of corporate taxation and personal income tax) and Social Insurance Fund of Russian Federation. They introduced upcoming legal changes, their technological innovations and interfaces for technical and methodology intercommunication with their services.
Internet of Thing coming with HCP
Closing part after all sessions was real 'kicker'. Team showed a real working example of HCP application opening a door to IoT world for local community. A solution in agriculture industry was developing using all the latest technological innovations and tested with a customer in 'fields'.
We should not forget that our business and communication is not only challenging but also pleasant.

Poor air quality can irritate and damage lungs, especially for people who have congestive heart failure, chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and other heart or breathing conditions. Exposure can also cause a fast heart rate, chest pain, trouble breathing, and asthma attacks.
People with heart or respiratory conditions, children, and the elderly are most at risk for poor air quality from wildfire smoke. However, smoky air can affect you even if you’re not in a high-risk group, causing sore throat, headaches, runny nose, and fatigue.
Here are six steps you can take to stay healthy when the air quality is low.
- Check your local air quality reports. Find out the latest forecasts and monitors at the Washington Smoke Information Blog, or for a county-by-county breakdown, visit the Washington State Department of Ecology. Checking air quality daily will help you decide what level of activities you can complete outside.
- Shut windows and doors to keep out poor-quality air. This will help keep the air in your home as clean as possible and keep pollutants from smoky air from coming inside.
- Use a freestanding indoor air filter that can remove harmful particles. You can also make a DIY version from a box fan and duct tape.
- Avoid outdoor activities. If the air quality is unhealthy, you might also want to limit exercise or strenuous activity inside.
- The right mask and proper fit can reduce your exposure to wildfire smoke. Face coverings protect against COVID-19 but cloth and surgical masks don’t provide much protection from wildfire smoke. N95 respirators and KN95 masks offer good protection. If you have a pre-existing condition that might make you more sensitive to smoke, consult your medical provider.
- Call 911 if you see a nearby fire or smell smoke. Don’t call 911 if you only see smoke in the distance. Often wildfire smoke in Washington comes from other states or Canada.
Make sure you have your medications refilled and have a plan for protecting yourself if the air quality gets bad. If you have questions about your medications or need a refill, contact your doctor or pharmacy. Community Health Plan of Washington cares about your health! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If you were to look at just the interior of this swanky beast, you’d swear it was a fancy NYC studio apartment. But this sucker has what it takes to wheel away from civilization in the best of ways because it’s an off-road camper. Simply named the Rise 4×4, it’s been built to spoil its occupants while going to uninhabitable locations. The German firm, SOD, based the Rise 4×4 on the rugged Mercedes Unimog U5032. Inside you’ll find luxury digs that include a main bedroom with an elevated bed, roof-mounted pop-up quarters with stair access, a kitchen with a full stove and fridge/freezer, a loungy sofa and dining room table that can convert to another bedroom, a full bathroom, and even a modern chandelier. Tech-wise, the Rise 4×4 has wireless communication, app-controlled multi-media, heated floors, solar panels, and a premium audio system. The camper has four driven wheels powered by two engine choices, and it can ford four feet of water thanks to its superb clearance and snorkel. Right now, it’s just a rendering, but SOD will build you one for just over a million dollars. Sounds worth it to us.

Selling your home? Â Here are some tips to help make it more marketable:
Depersonalize. Hide anything-family photos, awards, trophies, your collection of antique teacups-that might interfere with a buyer feeling like your home could be theirs. People get really distracted when they’re surrounded by someone else’s personal stuff. Make your bathroom look like a hotel’s: no one wants to see your soggy loofah and half used bar of soap. Put all your beauty products in a shower caddy, so they can easily be stowed under the sink when you have a showing.
De-clutter. Most people have too much stuff, whether it’s knick-knacks or paperwork or furniture. The goal is to create a sense of space in a room-and in all your closets. Fight the urge to shove all your stuff in your closets, since you have to be prepared for prospective buyers to open every last cabinet. An organized closet can send the message that as an owner, you’re the kind of person who doesn’t slack on any aspect (a leaky roof, a busted water heater) of maintaining your home.
Clean. No one wants to walk into a dirty house. Bathrooms and kitchens in particular should be sparkling. Don’t just do a surface clean-pay attention to hidden corners like the nook behind a toilet or the inside of your refrigerator. You never know where people are going to look. Use a deodorizer to remove any odors, and invite a neighbor over to make sure there are no leftover scents, since living there may make you immune to the smell. Only about a third of Americans live with pets, so to be sure you’re not alienating the other two thirds of the population, remove all traces (leashes, litter boxes, dog beds) of animals.
Lighten and Brighten. You want to have as much light as possible filtering through your space. Start by cleaning the windows. Ditch the screens, which just add one more darkening layer. During an open house, make sure your shades are up. Check to see if all your bulbs are working, and replace low-watt bulbs with high-watt ones to ensure the place feels bright.
Paint. Walls are the bones of your home, and it’s super important to make sure they look fresh. Painting is relatively inexpensive if you do it yourself, and can have a huge impact on the way a place looks. Avoid non-neutral colors like red, purple, or loud yellow, since they won’t appeal to the majority of people. White can feel stark and cold, which doesn’t do anything to add to the appeal of a room. Try warm beige tones instead.

Westerwold and Vetch Mix - Six Month Ley
A good balance between a vigorous grass and a fast growing short term legume, this mixture can be used to provide a very large cut or early spring grazing and is an economical, effective option for over-winter soil management too. For over-wintering sowing should take place by late September. The mixture can be incorporated in April or May. (For livestock farms it may be left and made into silage in late May.) br> br>Westerwolds ryegrass will regrow after cutting so can be left through the summer for further cutting or mulching. To minimise the risk of ryegrass seed being shed, it is advisable to cut before the seed heads are visible. Please call for availability
Contents per Acre | % | kg | |
certified LIBONUS westerwolds ryegrass | 40.0 | 10.000 | |
certified EARLY ENGLISH vetch | 60.0 | 15.000 |
Vetch is a well known legume also known as common vetch or tares. It scrambling, smothering growth habit and frost tolerance make it a very useful winter cover crop or green manure.
Westerwolds is the highest yielding ryegrass with similar forage quality to the well known Italian ryegrass. This is an annual form of ryegrass which is very fast to establish, producing a silage crop just 12 weeks from sowing. It is the only grass to produce a stem and seed head from a spring sowing, making it suitable for the production of hay for horses, from a spring planting. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Why ‘Titty’s Beer’ Is The American Dream
on Apr 11, 2016
“Give the people what they want!” A statement that’s been said time and time again – especially to people wanting to invent something.
According to the 2013 hit by supersonic country duo Montgomery Gentry, ‘Uncle Titus’ did just that!
Titus, as the song says, came up with a great idea and he was “gonna bottle up his own brew” and “make a million or two”. But, how was he going to do that?
Titus, like many Americans, dreamt of being at the forefront of a great idea, having the freedom to express himself, and finding great success by delivering “what the people want”.
So, what does Titus believe that millions of people will be rushing to the store to buy? Well, the song says that the taste of his brew wouldn’t be his claim to fame…but rather “what he was banking on…was all in the name.”
“He called it Titty’s, Titty’s, Titty’s Beer” the cleverly-worded chorus begins as the song reveals Titus’ bright idea.
Line after line, this song is wickedly creative and humorous, explaining one man’s take on the American dream, which the song summarizes as “One thing’s for sure, everybody loves Titty’s.”
Y’all are gonna get a huge kick out of this heart-pounding, boot-stomping anthem that’s a great way to start off any tailgate party!
Watch Montgomery Gentry sing their wild and hilarious tune, “Titty’s Beer” in the video below! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
