The PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) marked its impressive comeback with nine days of thrilling poker at Resorts World Las Vegas. This event attracted players globally, offering the quintessential PokerStars Live experience to professionals, recreational players, satellite winners, and Power Path qualifiers alike. The NAPT saw the participation of renowned figures, including actor and comedian Michael Ian Black, actresses Arden Cho and Jennifer Tilly, poker legend Phil Hellmuth, and PokerStars Ambassador Lex Veldhuis. They were accompanied by special qualifiers Nikki Limo and Lily Newhouse for the relaunch of The Big Game. This event also marked the first PokerStars appearance for the latest PokerStars Ambassadors, Next Gen Poker – consisting of Jack, Rosey, and Frankie – who joined forces with fellow ambassador Maria Konnikova. Maria Konnikova notably cashed in the NAPT Main Event and was a key participant in a special Women in Poker panel. The panel, including Jennifer Shahade, author and poker player Alex O’Brien, and Poker Power president Erin Lydon, discussed strategies to increase female participation in poker and the role of platforms like PokerStars in driving this change. Sami Bechahed emerged as the winner of the NAPT Main Event, outlasting a record-breaking field of 1,095 players – the largest ever on US soil. Originally from France and now residing in California, the former poker dealer claimed a prize of $268,945, triumphing over a final table featuring notable players like David Coleman, Sergio Aido, and Nick Schulman. Other notable victories included Jesse Lonis winning the $10,300 NAPT Super High Roller ($174,550), Samuel Laskowitz in the $5,300 NAPT High Roller ($180,850), and American player Kyna England in the $360 NAPT Ladies Event ($7,520). The excitement extended beyond the poker tables, with a weekend of racing action in collaboration with Oracle Red Bull Racing. Red Spade Pass winners experienced unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Fans are encouraged to follow PokerStars’ social media channels for updates on these exclusive experiences. “We said we were going to make this return spectacular, and I don’t think we disappointed!” Steve Preiss, Vice President for PokerStars North America. “Resorts World Las Vegas was a stunning venue for the return of this iconic series, and we hope that our players enjoyed every minute of it. “But the NAPT doesn’t stop here. We can’t wait for 2024 and to build on the success of this event.”

IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation delivered emergency aid materials to 2 million Nepalis after the country is hit by flood due to rain lasting for days. IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation continues delivering help to people hit by war or disasters and reaching who wait for help, without making any distinction based on their religions, languages, races, nations or countries. With this respect, IHH delivered emergency aid materials to 2 million Nepalis who are hit by the flood caused by monsoon rains lasting for days. Within the scope of Emergency Aid Projects, IHH provided 335 families in Jhapa, Morang, Sunsari, Saptari and Siraha districts of Nepal with rice, lentils, cooking oil, salt, race paste, sugar, tent and netting. “3 thousand families are waiting to be rescued” “According to the information received from the region, flood caused severe damage, particularly in plain regions in the south of the country,” says Mahmut Topbaş, from IHH Southern Asia Desk. “More than hundred souls are lost in Nepal due to the disaster and thousands of houses became unusable.” Topbaş states that many people are missing due to the flood and summarizes the current situation in Nepal: “People who had to flee their homes and run to high places looking for safety face a serious hardship now. Hundreds of hectares of agricultural land are destroyed. Meteorology officials predict that the rain that has started days ago and poured down non-stop will continue for a while. In Saptari district, about 50 thousand houses became unusable due to the flood. 3 thousand families from various parts of the country are stuck where they are and waiting to be rescued. In Morang where the Muslim society constitutes the majority, floodwaters covered even the airport in Biratnagar. Families were forced to leave their homes taking only some food and basic stuff with them.” Nepal is waiting for help IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation will continue helping people of Nepal with the support of its donors. Benefactors may contribute by sending funds to banks accounts of IHH with a note of “NEPAL”.

From Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: The Wild has a history of trades at the draft — setting up the Manny Fernandez trade to Boston last June, acquiring Pavol Demitra in 2006, Todd White in ’05 and Cliff Ronning in ’02. Will this year’s draft, which begins next Friday in Ottawa, be any different? Risebrough won’t tip his hand other than to say he doesn’t believe the Wild will trade up from the 24th pick in the first round. “Talking to GMs, to move significantly is a significant price, and that usually creates volatility in your lineup,” Risebrough said. “We have enough holes we have to cover without trying to create more holes.” Read more about the Wild’s possible off-season plans here. Risebrough knows what he’s doing. The experienced GM is exactly right when he states that the team has enough holes to address this summer. A move up the draft board is not something the Wild is likely to push for.

Before most of us were even thinking about Christmas, a team at Google was working on the unique doodle that appeared on the search engine’s front page for just over two days from December 23. Google chief doodler – that’s his actual title – Micheal Lopez spoke to the Wall Street Journal about the extraordinary amount of work that went into this year’s holiday doodle. In previous years, Google’s festive logo has been a single image, but in 2010 Mr Lopez, who took on his role about 18 months ago, wanted to ”end the year with a bang”. Work by Mr Lopez and his team of four artists began around six months ago, with the doodle’s 17 section divided up among the team – Mr Lopez took personal responsibility for six. The result was the Google logo, displayed via interactive holiday portraits from around the globe. Yet the logo millions of Google users saw in recent days was not how Mr Lopez had envisioned it – his plan was to unveil the logo in sections over three days. But when company executives and other Googlers saw the doodle in its final stages, a decision was made to post the entire creation online in one go. The timing of the logo was also contentious, with some questioning whether it would slip under the radar if posted on Christmas Day. ”I thought, ‘Is my mom going to be available to play this on Christmas Day?’ The answer is, no, she’ll be making me food!” Mr Lopez said. So the decision was made to post the doodle on December 23 and have it run for two and a half days. Google estimates that more than 900 logo doodles have been created since 1998, 270 of them this year.

Whether you have a Facebook Fan Page for your growing business or for your small garage band, you have a Fan Page and you have fans. Now you must maintain your Fan Page and keep your fans wanting more. A common mistake for Fan Page owners is that they tend to neglect their fans. A Fan Page is an excellent way to maintain and grow your product or business. Don’t leave your fans out in the cold this winter, follow these tips and get to work: Before updating your status, keep in mind what time it is. Facebook tends to see more traffic during lunch hours and when users are home from work. Post mid-day and then again close to the evenings and of course keep your posts going on the weekends. Make sure your posts are friendly, informative and interesting. We are visual society that needs and wants to see everything that is going on. Post pictures daily of the office, new products or something you think your fans will enjoy. Keep your fans wanting more by not flooding them with hundreds of pictures. Think of the pictures as a teaser. Create photo albums with names that would intrigue the fan, then slowly build the album with matching posts that say, ‘stay tuned, more pics to come!’ A great phrase that is floating around Facebook, “Facebook is not your diary.” Keep your personal feelings and business separate. Refrain from posting your frustrations and remain positive. Anything negative will turn your fan off. Also just like your mom told you, avoid discussing two things: Religion and Politics. A good tip about handling negativity: If you receive a negative comment, respond quickly and professionally then follow up through personal messaging. Chances are most of your fans saw that negative comment and are watching for your response. As much as you want to, do not delete that response. It will only give off the message to your fans that a possible mistake has been made on your behalf. Engaging your fans with questions as your status updates, is a great way to get your fans active and makes them feel more valuable. It can be simple question like, ‘It’s almost the weekend, any fun plans friends?’ or something pertaining to your company like “What do you think about our newest product?” Follow these rules and feel free to get creative. Everyone now and then shout out to a fan and thank them for a comment or their loyalty. Enjoy your fans and your fans will enjoy you. Nothing grows a business better than a happy fan, word of mouth is the cheapest form of advertising. Happy Posting!

Mortal Kombat 1: The Boys' Homelander Gets First Gameplay Trailer No release date (yet). Yesterday, NetherRealm released the first gameplay trailer for The Boys' Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1. The trailer, which you can check out above, is a quick look at gameplay for the upcoming DLC character. Those who have watched The Boys will quickly notice that Homelander's super strength and heat vision are present despite the trailer being less than a minute long. NetherRealm even went the extra mile to open the trailer with a bit of The Boys comedy, showing a scene of Homelander slurping milk from a baby bottle, much like was depicted in The Boys Priem Video series. Although Anthony Starr, the actor who portrays Homelander in the Prime Video series The Boys, confirmed he would not be voicing the character in Mortal Kombat 1, NeatherRealm did secure Starr's likeness for the character. Fortunately, NeatherRealm found an excellent soundalike for Homelander. Some Mortal Kombat and The Boys fans have reacted to the first trailer online, with many praising the character's design, saying they are "not upset anymore" that Starr is not voicing the Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1. NetherRealm is releasing a first look at Homelander as a playable character in Mortal Kombat 1, which comes a few days after Prime Video released a new trailer for The Boys Season 4, which premieres on June 14. Though the company has yet to reveal a release date, let alone a release window for Homelander, hopefully, NetherRealm plans to make the character available around the same time The Boys' fourth season releases. Homelander was one of six DLC characters in the Mortal Kombat 1 Kombat Pack, including Incincible's Omni-Man and returning character Quan-Chi. The former, released last November, was quickly discovered to be equal parts broken and hilarious to play as. In our review of Mortal Kombat 1, IGN wrote: "The bone-crunching gameplay of Mortal Kombat 1 is some of the best the series has ever seen, thanks to the game-changing Kameo system. Netherrealm delivers a fantastic single-player story mode as well. However, the new Invasions mode is a grind and the online options feel dated." Taylor is a Reporter at IGN.

We did the 4 day Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu and it was great ! We had a small group of 5 which was perfect because we had more focused attention from our guides and didn't have to wait long times for a big group to all arrive. Our guides were patient with everyone in the group and shared some great tips and knowledge about all the Inca ruin sites that we passed and the Quechua people's culture in general. Every meal was absolutely perfect, just what we needed after hard trekking ! Overall I'd definitely recommend Inca Trail Reservations for the Inca Trail trek. Amazing experience !

The deputy FDP chairman Wolfgang Kubicki has apologized “in all forms” to the Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens) after a comparison with Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin. “To put him in a row with a wanted war criminal is complete nonsense and a derailment. That doesn’t work at all,” said Kubicki of the German Press Agency in Berlin. “Robert Habeck is an upstanding democrat and I’d rather argue with him about the matter than about defamation.” In the talk show “Veto” on the platform “MASS TASTE TV”, Kubicki said, among other things: “Putin and Habeck have a similar conviction that the state, the leader, the chosen ones, know better than the people what is good for them. ” Habeck has a concept of freedom that “Vladimir Putin could easily translate to his own ruling milieu.” Dröge: “That was borderline” Government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit called the statements “absolutely inappropriate”. He also referred to Kubicki’s apology. The Greens parliamentary group leadership was alienated by Kubicki’s statements. The fact that this has “a certain special role” in the FDP is known, said the parliamentary group leader Katharina Dröge on the sidelines of the Bundestag Greens’ retreat in Weimar. “And that he should perhaps find a form of communication that does justice to the dignity of his office, that would be my recommendation to him.” However, she does not want to hold the entire FDP responsible for Kubicki’s statements. “That was borderline. But he has now recognized that and apologized.” Co-chairwoman Britta Haßelmann said: “When I read it this morning, I thought: Everyone disqualifies as best they can.”

The CMBS industry is picking up again. This is the industry that originates large, fairly standard commercial real estate loans and then securitizes them. Earlier in the year, when it appeared that we were headed for a double-dip recession, investor appetite declined sharply for commercial mortgage-backed securities. Investors would only buy these bonds if the rates were much higher. In the parlance of the industry, the spreads or margins over corresponding Treasuries spiked sharply. In recent weeks, however, spreads have leveled off, so many CMBS lenders are eager to close new loans in order to meet their year-end loan production targets. This is a very good time to submit your commercial real estate loan to a CMBS lender. You can do so by using C-Loans.com. CMBS lenders are once again making loans on hotels, as long as the loan is larger than $5 million. In the future it is anticipated that this loan minimum will come down, as CMBS lenders hire more staff. In the meantime, hotel owners needing loans of less than $5 million should apply for an SBA loan. You can apply for both CMBS loans and SBA loans using C-Loans.com. The SBA is now, for the first time, issuing loan guarantees on self-storage projects. In the past such projects did not qualify because they did not create a lot of jobs. You can apply to scores of SBA lenders using C-Loans.com. The SBA has been very disappointed by the volume of new SBA 504 loans originated this year. Therefore, in order to encourage more lending, they are now allowing the SBA 504 program to be used to refinance maturing loans (this change was made about a year ago) AND if a 504 borrower is refinancing a ballooning loan, he can now pull extra cash out of his owner-used commercial property - up to 90% LTV - to reduce his paybles, to pay salaries, or even to use for operating capital! You ca apply to scores of hungry SBA lenders by clicking here.

We all have some extra socks lying around that are missing their mates. If you have wondered what to do with those old socks, I have a few ideas…. 1) Make a heating pad. Fill a sock with rice and a few drops of relaxing essential oils, like lavender. Tie the end with a ribbon. To heat, microwave for one minute. 2) Protect your wipers. Slip a pair of tube stocks over your windshield wipers on the eve of a storm so you won’t have to deice the blades in the morning.

It’s time to retire those old, noisy, outdated ceiling fans hanging around in your home. Here’s a stylish collection of the best ceiling fans for bedrooms! Bedroom ceiling fans can help keep large rooms cool in the summer, circulate warm air in the winter and provide a super soft white noise as well. And they can do all of this while still looking stylish! To find the correct fan for your space, first consider is the size of your bedroom. Measure the square feet of your room by multiplying the room’s length by its width in feet. The bottom of the fan should be at least seven feet off the floor. But eight to nine feet would be even better! For a room with a 9-foot ceiling, select a fan with a 6” downrod. For ceilings that are taller than nine feet, add 6” to the downrod for every foot of height.

Bwari Area Council has assured of its commitment in providing adequate medical services to residents in all its localities. The Chairman, Bwari Area Council, John Gabaya gave this assurance while flagging-off a free medical outreach at the Township Clinic in Bwari. The Chairman said that his Administration will not rest on its oars until all the inhabitants are provided with a comprehensive healthcare to improve their living conditions. His words: “This is in line with my Administration’s promise to make lives more meaningful to all residents in all the nooks and crannies of our Area Council.” As the Council commences the three days exercise, the Chairman reiterated that the free medical outreach was aimed at addressing general health issues, especially minor ones affecting the entire urban and rural population in its 10 Wards. Gabaya, who was represented at the occasion by the Council Secretary, Mr. Eli Kadanya said comprehensive breakdown of the coverage areas, include: Bwari Central, Ushafa and Kuduru wards under Zone A; Igu, Shere and Kawu Wards in Zone B; and Dutse, Kubwa, Usuma and Byazhin Wards in Zone C on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday respectively. “We urge you all to take advantage of the services to check your present health status and where you are diagnosed with what we cannot provide here, we will advise you seek help elsewhere,” he stressed. According to him, “most importantly is to check your status and take the necessary steps in ensuring your wellbeing.” Kadanya said the Flag-off was aimed at bringing the healthcare system closer to the people. Also speaking at the occasion, the Director, Health and Human Services Department of the Council,Dr. Magaji Basil, stated that the initiative was a rare opportunity that should be adequately utilized.

A landmark Dubai development benefiting from advanced Maxxess eFusion integration has gone through to the finals of the hotly contested 2019 Intersec Awards. eFusion allows rapid integration, off-the-shelf, with a wide choice of security, safety and business-critical technologies and it provides an umbrella management system allowing the highest level of service efficiency by removing the need for operators to continually switch between systems. The Bluewaters Island project, now shortlisted by the Intersec Awards judges, involves one of the most far-reaching and comprehensive deployments of the technology to-date, says Lee Copland, Managing Director EMEA, Maxxess. “The operating company was looking for the most efficient way to integrate all major security, safety and building management functions, streamlining what is expected to become a very large system,” he says. “In other words, they wanted a solution combining front and back of house operations, giving the ability to manage, organise, monitor and control devices from a single platform.” Maxxess eFusion was chosen because of its ready compatibility with a wide choice of surveillance, intruder, access and fire detection systems enabled a highly efficient level of integration. The solution is gaining ground and being implemented at a number of upcoming Dubai developments, including hotel, leisure and retail destinations, with several major projects underway in the wider region. “At Bluewaters, eFusion was chosen by the client instead of a more costly PSIM route because it uses versatile, open-technology software not requiring bespoke integration,” says Lee Copland. He adds an advantage of the solution is that it will remain easily scalable as needs change in the future. The award finalists, in ten categories, are assessed by an independent judging panel during three rounds of review, including face-to-face interviews. The winners will be announced on 11 September 2019. For more information, please email [email protected] or go to www.maxxess-systems.com

INTHEBLACK April/May 2024 - Magazine - Page 22 to a With Interest 22 INTHEBLACK April/May 2024 – we must see a shift away from income tax as the key revenue source. We want to see reductions in the company tax rate as well as a rebalancing of individual income tax rates. “This means the GST base needs to be broadened. We need to look at simplifying how we collect GST, and we may also need to look at increasing the rate. “We are not supportive of inheritance or death taxes, and that is because a lot of the time those assets are from post-tax income. We want to see a system where income or assets are taxed at the right time, and we believe that should occur during someone’s lifetime,” Kasapidis says. Former Grattan Institute CEO Danielle Wood, who is now chair of the Productivity Commission, says the implication of not taking policy action is that future generations will need to bear the costs. “Ultimately, there are three levers that governments can pull to address long-term budget challenges – they can make economic reforms to ‘grow the pie’, they can increase taxes, and they can reduce spending,” Wood says. However, higher growth alone will not be enough to close the budget gap, she adds. “Given the scale of the challenge, governments will also need to find ways to reduce spending and/or boost revenue. After a decade of looking at this challenge, I have come to the view that we will need to do both. “The scale of the challenge, and the greater buy-in that can be achieved when the costs are spread across the population, are arguments for looking to both sides of the budget for answers. “More and more, questions of sustainability and intergenerational fairness are raised about our current tax mix. Expect them to get louder and louder over the coming decade without action.” Leading independent economist Chris Richardson says government spending should be the “go-to” lever to pull, rather than just focusing on taxes to improve fairness. “Spending really helps the low end, while taxes relative to income even out for pretty much everybody, they are equally negative,” “There is a range of things that you can do. We do tend to get a little lost – perhaps particularly the financial press – assuming the things government can do to raise living standards and prosperity, are about tax. They are not. “Now, some taxes are spectacularly dumb,” Richardson argues. “The most notable one is stamp duty. Every time you raise a dollar in stamp duty, you are shrinking the economy by almost a dollar. Whereas, for example, land tax has a very low efficiency cost. “If you could get rid of stamp duty in Australia and raise that money through land taxes of various kinds, you would be raising average Australian incomes. In other words, some of the best tax reform measures we can do in Australia are at the state rather than the federal level.” SPEARHEAD THE PUSH Independent member of parliament Allegra Spender has been spearheading a push to unite academic, business and civil society leaders to build consensus on the need for tax reform and the way forward.

Investigation of transaminase-based synthesis of furfurylamines Time: Fri 2024-09-27 10.00 Location: Kollegiesalen, Brinellvägen 8, Stockholm Video link: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/63781939217 Subject area: Biotechnology Doctoral student: Luisa M. Merz , Industriell bioteknologi, Berglund Group Opponent: Assoc. Prof. Ioannis Pavlidis, University of Crete, Grekland Supervisor: Professor Per Berglund, Industriell bioteknologi; Dr. Luuk van Langen, ViaZym B.V. Biocatalysis presents a significant opportunity to enhance the sustainability of the chemical industry. Using enzymes for chemical production aligns closely with the principles of green chemistry, enabling a rapid, selective and low-waste synthesis of valuable compounds. Transaminases in particular offer the potential for selective, sustainable, and economical amine production. However, several challenges hinder their broader industrial application. This thesis investigates the transaminase from Silicibacter pomeroyi (SpATA) and how its applicability can be improved. A critical challenge for transaminases is their stability, as the dimeric enzyme can readily dissociate, leading to a total loss of functionality. Various factors influencing the stability of SpATA were examined, demonstrating that buffer choice, cofactor concentration, and light exposure significantly impact enzyme stability. Optimising these conditions extended the half-life of SpATA to over 700 hours. For large-scale applications, enzyme reusability is essential due to the significant cost of enzyme production. Therefore, SpATA, along with three other transaminases, was immobilised on a carrier, achieving excellent reusability without any loss of activity over five reaction cycles. Additionally, SpATA's application in a flow-reactor was successful, further demonstrating its industrial potential. To enhance the sustainability of the transaminase reaction, the use of the “smart amine donor” cadaverine was investigated. High yields of the compound HMFA were achieved using equimolar amounts of cadaverine and HMF. To improve the economic viability of the process, an in-situ cascade reaction involving lysine decarboxylase and SpATA was developed for cadaverine production. In summary, this thesis presents the development of a stable, reusable biocatalyst capable of achieving high product yields, significantly advancing the application of transaminases in sustainable industrial processes.

The Minister of Home Affairs, Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, is currently facing a lot criticism from South African social media users for extending the grace period for Zimbabwean Exemption Permits (ZEP). The ZEP permits were originally set to expire at the end of June, but Motsoaledi has decided to extend them until December. This decision has sparked anger, particularly among groups like Put South Africans First and the operation Dudula movement. Gayton McKenzie, the President and Leader of the Patriotic Alliance (PA), expressed his frustration, accusing Motsoaledi of betraying South Africans. On the other hand, the Helen Suzman Foundation has welcomed the extension, praising the Minister for making the right choice. They have been advocating for the renewal of the permits. The Home Affairs department insists that ZEP holders must apply for visas if they want to stay in South Africa. For those who may not qualify for a visa, it is recommended that they consider alternative options, such as returning to Zimbabwe. The individuals who hold these permits came to South Africa during a time of political turmoil under Robert Mugabe’s regime. — SABC News (@SABCNews) June 8, 2023 Critics argue that the extension of ZEP permits worsens the issue of job opportunities, as they believe these positions should be reserved for South Africans. Angry South Africans express their frustration, believing it is unfair to allow individuals without critical skills to take up employment in the country. The extension of ZEP permits has sparked differing opinions among the public. Some view it as a compassionate gesture towards those who sought refuge during Zimbabwe’s troubled times. However, others believe it undermines job opportunities for South Africans and raises concerns about illegal immigration. As the debate continues, the Minister of Home Affairs will need to navigate these contentious issues while considering the interests of both South Africans and permit holders.

jlk – Somewhere off the coast of Virginia, four mighty US military ships begin their epic journey. They are not mere ships, but bearers of hope, dock builders, and, if you believe it, amateur DJs spinning the Imperial March from Star Wars. These four ships, poetically named like the USAV SP4 James A. Loux and its comrades, set sail on a noble mission: to build a floating dock off the coast of Gaza. They carry the equipment needed to construct a stage for humanitarian aid—and perhaps a small stage for bored soldiers to perform concerts too. Upon arriving in Gaza, these ships will establish a roll-on/roll-off dock, which not only sounds like a breakdancing move but will also allow up to 2 million meals to be delivered per day. That’s enough food for the world’s biggest barbecue party, or, you know, to help people in need. According to social media reports, the Imperial March was played over the loudspeaker system on the USAV SP4 James A. Loux. This may have been an attempt to scare the fish at sea, or maybe just a way to make the soldiers feel like Darth Vader for a day. In this journey, we see more than just ships sailing. We see a symbol of a daring humanitarian effort and the bit of humor that accompanies it. Because in a world that is often too serious, a little laughter and assistance can be a ray of sunshine in the storm.

The second-largest group of phytoplankton that often found in the saltwater after diatoms are dinoflagellates. Dinoflagellates are known for their ability of bioluminescence. If the dinoflagellates bloom, they would color the pond water into the red tide. What is dinoflagellate? Dinoflagellate is a unicellular organism with flagella to move, and has the same characteristics as phytoplankton and zooplankton which could be food producers and do photosynthesis, but could also be consumers and even parasites. Similar to the phytoplankton in general, dinoflagellate could do photosynthesis at noon, and at night it could do bioluminescence as its response to the movement of water. When performing bioluminescence, dinoflagellate requires oxygen. Dinoflagellates range in size from 5-500 µm. It could only be seen through a microscope, but some of them that make colonies could be seen clearly. It has a yellow-green and reddish pigment color. What is the dinoflagellate’s habitat? Dinoflagellate has habitats in saltwater, brackish water, and freshwater because of its wide salinity range. However, in general, dinoflagellates could be found more in the saltwater with the salinity around 30-35 ppt. Because it is easy to find in the saltwater, dinoflagellates would appear in the vannamei shrimp ponds. Other than that, dinoflagellates would grow optimally on a warm temperature, 26oC. Are dinoflagellates detrimental to cultivation? Most genera of dinoflagellates have an important role in benthic community settings. However, several genera are known to have the ability in producing poison or causing harmful algae blooms in the water because of its ability to produce poison. Dinoflagellates bloom on the water is caused by high light intensity, water temperature, and especially high contents of nitrogen and phosphor. Moreover, dinoflagellates could be a benchmark of shrimp ponds' condition. If there is a high increase of dinoflagellates, it indicates that the water is in an unstable condition and it could be harmful for the vannamei shrimp ecosystem. Otherwise, if it has a low amount of dinoflagellates, it would not be harmful.

Age is just a number. There’s a stigma around aging that creates a sense of worry, almost panic. But with the ever-growing knowledge of the things that keep us happy and healthy for longer, there’s less to fear than you think. Plus, the list of treatments that help us feel good about the skin we’re in seems to expand each day. Below, we’ll look at how you can live a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle. Nourishing your Body In America, 73.6% of the population of adults over 20 are either overweight or obese. And, it’s a well-known fact that older women struggle to lose weight more than because as we age, we lose muscle. Without muscle, it’s far harder to lose fat, which then generates stubborn fat areas. Stubborn fat areas can become serious physical insecurity, but CoolSculpting could be the answer. CoolSculpting freezes fat gives near life-long results that can be enhanced – find out more about it by searching for cool sculpting st louis mo – by therapeutic exercises like walking in nature, swimming, or yoga. You don’t need to run in the street or join a gym to focus on your physical well-being – a combination of treatments and light exercise might be all you need. Nourishing for your Body and Mind Healthy You get out what you put in – and that rings true for how you treat your body in terms of your diet. There are some great diet trends to follow that will not only help you feel great but also prevent some of the most common age-related health conditions. The Harvard School of Public Health releases a healthy living guide for the year to come – their latest for the year’s 21/22 look at the exploration of anti-inflammatory diets, a diet far from being a fad. Frequent inflammation of tissues within our bodies is linked to cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. An anti-inflammatory diet doesn’t look at calories or portion content, so fear not; it’s actually not that hard to follow. All you need to do is work them into your diet. These foods include: 1. Fruits and Vegetables 4. Foods with Polyunsaturated Omega-3 Fatty Acids 5. Moderate amounts of Wine and Beer Did you think you’d see wine and beer appear on a healthy living guide? That’s how easy an anti-inflammatory diet is to follow. According to Independent Age, aging women are no more likely to experience mental health problems than at any other age, but it’s a topic open for discussion because it’s such a prevalent issue. One study found that 1 in 5 women in the US experienced mental health problems in the last twelve months. To keep your Body and Mind Healthy, do things that bring you joy and happiness. Spend time around family and friends, meditate, start yoga, walk surrounded by the power of nature – the list of things you can do to protect your mental health is extensive. Yes, age is but a number, but it’s still crucial to focus on the things that nourish your body and mind. If not to support your health as you age, do it because you want to feel better about yourself. Do it because you want more energy. Do it because you want to live longer.

Feeling like a fraud while doing startups December 3, 2012starting up Before I had any success with Buffer, I helped many startups with their ideas. I attended events, spoke at events and even created my own meetup for startups. These were not particularly big events, but nevertheless I somehow found myself in a position of being able to help people, and a position where people would come to me to brainstorm and get advice. I remember the point just before I started Buffer, where these events and opportunities came up more and more, despite the fact that my startup was not exploding with any kind of success. I had neither generated any revenue, nor raised any funding, and we didn’t have great traction either. I remember often feeling like a fraud, standing up there and telling others what to do when I had no success myself. I often questioned whether I should be up there. It also was one of the things that gave me the burning desire to figure out how to make something work. Why we often feel like a fraud One of the most interesting things I’ve found with this feeling is that it seems like it doesn’t ever stop. I now have the opportunity to speak at even bigger events, to help people quite far along with their startups, and also to help people just getting started who want my advice for things I really don’t know that much about. I recently attended Lean Startup Machine in San Francisco to mentor the teams and help them to validate their ideas. Eric Ries did a Q&A at the event, and one of the things he said was very interesting: We are in the business as entrepreneurs to look at statistically insignificant sample sizes This got me thinking more about why it is that we sometimes feel like a fraud, especially even as we make progress. It seems that as startup founders, we never have significant data. We can’t know for sure whether we were wholly responsible for all of our success, or whether other factors influenced things and we found ourselves being fortunate. That, for me, is the reason it’s easy to feel like a fraud. Why we can help a lot even without ‘success’ Another thing I’ve found, is that we can usually help people much sooner than we realise. Over time I’ve managed to become quite comfortable Help with your startup, and the more I’ve done it the more I’ve realised that I can usually help a lot, and even if I can’t it’s always a fun conversation. One thing I’ve noticed is that there are quite a few founders where the thought to help others has crossed their mind, and the desire to do it exists, but they often dismiss it and decide that they haven’t learned enough yet, or people wouldn’t want their help. Helping others has been so powerful for me for lots of different reasons, so I think it’s great to try and get past this myth that you can only help people once you have had a huge exit. In fact, I think a lot of the times it’s the people at the earliest stages that can help the most, because the gap is smaller and so the person you’re helping can really relate to the position you’re in. Just as these 'lizard brain' thoughts about how entitled you are to help others can affect whether you will do so, if you take the plunge and start helping others I think you will often find that you feel like you don’t deserve to be giving the advice. Could it be that it’s optimal to feel like a fraud? What I have started to realise, is that perhaps this is exactly how we should feel if we’re making progress. It may seem counterintuitive, but I am starting to believe that if you feel like a fraud and feel uncomfortable, it’s probably a great thing. Just as the adage that “the magic happens outside your comfort zone” I think perhaps if you’re feeling like a fraud, you’re doing things right. I think the important thing is to remember that none of us have significant sample sizes or complete information about what we should do, or whether we deserve what success we have. Therefore it’s completely natural to feel like we’re not entitled, to feel like a fraud from time to time. I think the best thing to do is to remind ourselves that it’s our job to work with incomplete information, and to "do" where others stay paralysed by lack of a clear path. Have you ever felt like a fraud whilst working on your startup? Photo credit: Fabiana Zonca

During the recent Christmas and New Year break I had the opportunity to visit the Science Museum (yes, again…). This time to see the newly opened Winton Gallery that housed the Mathematics exhibit in the museum. Not only is the exhibit about a subject matter close to my heart, but also the gallery was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. I must admit, that the first I heard of this was in a recent visit to the IMAX at the Science Museum to see Rogue One… Anyway, I took some pictures that you can see in the photo gallery here, and I am also re-posting an entry that appeared in the London Mathematical Society newsletter Number 465 for January 2017. Mathematics: The Winton Gallery opens at the Science Museum, London On 8 December 2016 the Science Museum opened a pioneering new gallery that explores how mathematicians, their tools and ideas have helped shape the modern world over the last 400 years. Mathematics: The Winton Gallery places mathematics at the heart of all our lives, bringing the subject to life through remarkable stories, artefacts and design. More than 100 treasures from the Science Museum’s world-class science, technology, engineering and mathematics collections help tell powerful stories about how mathematical practice has shaped and been shaped by some of our most fundamental human concerns – including money, trade, travel, war, life and death. From a beautiful 17th-century Islamic astrolabe that used ancient mathematical techniques to map the night sky to an early example of the famous Enigma machine, designed to resist even the most advanced mathematical techniques for codebreaking, each historical object has an important story to tell about how mathematics has shaped our world. Archive photography and lm helps capture these stories and digital exhibits alongside key objects introduce the wide range of people who made, used or were affected by each mathematical device. Dramatically positioned at the centre of the gallery is the Handley Page ‘Gugnunc’ aircraft, built in 1929 for a competition to construct a safe aircraft. Ground-breaking aerodynamic research influenced the wing design of this experimental aircraft, helping transform public opinion about the safety of ying and securing the future of the aviation industry. This aeroplane highlights perfectly the central theme of the gallery about how mathematical practice is driven by, and in uences, real-world concerns and activities. Mathematics also defines Zaha Hadid Architects’ design for the gallery. Inspired by the Handley Page aircraft, the gallery is laid out using principles of mathematics and physics. These principles also inform the three-dimensional curved surfaces representing the patterns of air ow that would have streamed around this aircraft. Patrik Schumacher, Partner at Zaha Hadid Architects, recently noted that mathematics was part of Zaha Hadid’s life from a young age and was always the foundation of her architecture, describing the new mathematics gallery as ‘an important part of Zaha’s legacy in London’. Gallery curator David Rooney, who was respon- sible for the Science Museum’s recent award- winning Codebreaker: Alan Turing’s Life and Legacy exhibition, explained that the gallery tells ‘a rich cultural story of human endeavor that has helped transform the world’. The mathematics gallery was made possible through an unprecedented donation from long-standing supporters of science, David and Claudia Harding. Additional support was also provided by Principal Sponsor Samsung, Major Sponsor MathWorks and a number of individual donors. A lavishly illustrated new book, Mathematics: How It Shaped Our World, written by David Rooney and published by Scala Arts & Heritage Publishers, accompanies the new display. It expands the stories covered in the gallery and contains an absorbing series of newly commissioned essays by prominent historians and mathematicians including June Barrow-Green, Jim Bennett, Patricia Fara, Dame Celia Hoyles and Helen Wilson, with an afterword from Dame Zaha Hadid with Patrick Schumacher.

Amewacha salary ya 600k kuenda kuosham matako ya jungu If you have a good paying job in Kenya, ka nyumbani. I have seen jamaas regretting lakini wanaona aibu Kurudi and some have already burnt bridges. Huyu mama aliwacha salary ya 600k. She could be living like a queen huku. But somehow currently there is a Euphoria of people moving abroad… Huko hakuna SHIF, Adani, Housing levy. Basically the money you earn is 98% yours. Hii situation hakuna kufikiria Kweli hauna akili kabisa, do u anything about how punitive US tax laws are? Ama ni SJ 150 ndio pekee unajua She probably already has a better job lined up there, plus considering all her progeny are well on course of being US citizens, i’d say its a wise bet! Kuna vitu kama passport ya USA that money cant buy Atleast you are benefiting from the taxes. …hapa tuseme tu environment ni poa and maybe vile wasee husema Yuess kuna opportunities. Having an American passport is worth the gamble, those guys rule the world. Literally! Kama kuna unawezekano ya kuwa citizen, ile guaranteed sio kubahatisha, mimi ata ntaacha job ya 1M in a private company in Kenya, any day any time. It was just a matter of time before she was laid off at citizen anyway. With an American passport u can go almost everywhere visa-free on just apply on arrival kwa airport. Its the land of opportunities kama wewe sio fala Hapo nakubaliana kabisa. It is. There’s a lot of Kenyan prominent people who move here silently and pursue the long term vision. A job is a job; it can come and go. But having possibilities and opportunities endless, is far much important I would say the most important issue here is not even the job, but he need for the family to be together. If she stayed in Kwinya, there is a definite possibility of them drifting apart. No salary is worth the pain of a family falling apart. As for a broadcasting job in the US, she can forget, The one guaranteed way of her making 4600 dollars a month gross is to go to nursing school the whole hog. That will take 4 years at least hahaha unajua U.S. vile kuna taxes wazimu? Halafu have you ever heard of sales tax? The price you see on the shelf is not what you end up paying KAZI yako bro ni kuuza matako kiza lodge kwa wambamba upelekwe grand Prix na kupewa range rover uroll town ukiriga . Matako yako imelia mbwata tukipima kwa mizani ya wahenga . Hii yote ni baada ya kuacha KAZI yako ya kuuza mitumba gikosh according to your classmate a talker she can smell the coffee. Legacy media is dying, they went to bed with politicians and their platforms got misused for all types of shenanigans. Today, whenever you hear smoething on citizen, the first thought is to doubt it, and check whether your online news sources like nyakundi agree. Just ten or so years ago, when you heard something online, the first thing you did was check citizen or ntv to see if it was true. That is how much trust they have lost. Nobody believes anything they say Opportunities for my kiddos is what would make me consider moving. Manze it’s painful kusomesha watoi hadi uni alafu warudi kwako nyumbani kukutegemea ju hakuna wera She’ll now earn triple of that lmao Ni uchungu sana, mtoi anasoma vizuri anamaliza poa, alafu anakaa home hakuna job anaanza kuuza nguo, ama viatu ama anapata job ya qatar ama ingine tu ya sulubu pale uarabuni.

City of Fond du Lac unveils improvements at city parks The City of Fond du Lac hosted two ribbon cutting ceremonies Friday, November 8, 2024, to celebrate new improvement projects at McDermott Park, McKinley Park, Russell Park and Buttermilk Creek Park. “The City of Fond du Lac is thrilled to share these newly updated parks with our community,” shared City Council President Tiffany Brault. “These additions to our City emphasize our commitment to providing residents with welcoming spaces to gather, play and enjoy the outdoors.” Funding for the majority of the City’s park enhancement projects was secured through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, which accelerated the number of enhancements the City was able to undertake. The improvements to Buttermilk Creek Park were made possible through the City’s partnership with playground equipment supplier BCI Burke, who completed all playground installations. McDermott Park is now outfitted with a synthetic ice rink, a new community gathering space – including a pergola, and new landscaping. The rink will be free for the community’s use, and is anticipated to open the week of Thanksgiving. The landscaping improvements were based on plans completed by the Friends of McDermott Park. McKinley Park, Russell Park and Buttermilk Creek Park received new playground infrastructure. “The City has heard from residents that continuing to enhance parks and gathering spaces is a top priority,“ said Parks Superintendent John Redmond. “We are excited for residents to begin enjoying these free amenities. Especially the McDermott Park ice rink, which we anticipate opening just in time for the holiday season.” With the completion of these projects, the City of Fond du Lac encourages residents to continue to enjoy McDermott Park, McKinley Park, Russell Park and Buttermilk Creek Park.

Now, visitors are invited to embark on this nostalgic journey of historic play once more at the David Roche Gallery, in North Adelaide, in its new exhibition Australian Toys 1880-1965: The Luke Jones Collection, on show until August 24th. The fascinating range of Australian toys made between the 1880s and the 1960s includes refined lithographed tinplate toys of the 1920s, such as a 30cm truck made by Melbourne manufacturer Leckie and Gray, mass-produced toys that emerged during the post-war period including a Glenn Holden Special, charming folk art creations and European and Japanese-made toys with local relevance. The exhibition will also host a fun trail for children to participate to find objects along the display. For Jones, what began as a nine-year-old’s passion for collecting antique toys has blossomed into a sprawling personal collection he has compiled over 40 years – each item with its own rich history. “I was a newspaper boy earning some money and I saved that money for a year. I wanted to spend it on something that would increase in value,” Jones explains. A family friend from Italy told me antique toys were big in Europe, so two weeks before my 10th birthday, I went to an antique auction with my father, where I bought my first toy—an Italian-made Coca-Cola truck from the mid-1950s. It cost me $115 in 1983, and I still remember the strength of my emotion about how much I loved it. “Since that moment, I’ve continued to grow my collection. A highlight for me is the Australian icon Holden cars from the mid-century and I also have a toy submarine made from the ballast of the submarine which sank in Sydney Harbour in 1942.” Museum Director Robert Reason says he expects the treasure trove of toys will spark the magic of childhood for all ages. “Stroll down memory lane and share the nostalgia with your own children because Luke’s collection truly is for the young and the young at heart,” Reason says. From board games to a toy Hills Hoist, this exhibition provides a detailed insight into Australian childhood through the lens of play. Be inspired by historic events, be entertained by toys that celebrate Australia’s love of sport and be enchanted by fantasy creations straight from toy makers’ imaginations. The idea for the exhibition was sparked when Reason approached Jones after hearing him speak at an Adelaide’s Society of Collectors meeting. “A lot of passion has been poured into my collection so for Robert to recognise that, and then to have a culmination of my toys on display in a museum, it’s a dream come true,” Jones says. While Jones enjoys sharing his love of antique toys with his two children Teddy, 8 and Florence, 5, he says they both agree who the big kid of the family is. “They understand my passion for collecting, but they also both think I have too many toys,” he laughs.

Does Idaho Have More Or Less Smokers On Average? Around 500,000 Americans die every year due to smoking, making it the number one cause of deaths that could've otherwise been preventable in the U.S. Is that stopping people from lighting up in 2022? It sure isn't! The 2021 County Health Rankings & Roadmaps report (damn guys, long enough name?) has been released, and the findings are definitely...interesting. On average, around 16.5% of adult Americans smoke cigarettes. We're not talking vapes here, or cannabis, we're talking about good old-fashioned nicotine cigarettes. That number jumps way higher for states like West Virginia, where a whopping 27% of its citizens are smokers. Or Kentucky, where 24% of locals are smoking up on the regular. Luckily for Idaho, our number is surprisingly much lower than most of the United States. According to the most recent info, right around 15% of Idahoans are smoking cigarettes on a regular basis. Pretty good all things considered, right? It is, until you look at California and Utah. Our neighbors are harboring 11.5% and 9.1% smokers, respectively. Another positive that comes along with our low number of smokers is life expectancy. West Virginians live an average of 75 years, while Idahoans are living it up (on average) until the ripe old age of 79.5! It's not all fun numbers, just to be fair. Around $230,000,000,000 (that's 230 billion dollars) is spent annually in the U.S. on treating medical issues stemming from smoking, while it's estimated we lose about $156,000,000,000 a year in productivity while your coworkers are outside on a "smoke break." Are these numbers going to get you to quit smoking in 2022? Or are you just glad to not have to live in West Virginia? 6 Reasons People Abandoned Idaho and Moved Somewhere Else in 2021 Is A Former Boise Favorite Being Converted To A Tattoo Parlor?

Hospital discharge data received by public health agencies has a reporting lag time of greater than six months. This data is often used retrospectively to conduct surveillance to assess severity of illness and outcome, and for evaluating performance of public health surveillance systems. With the emergence of Health Information Exchanges and Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs), inpatient data can be available to public health in near real-time. However, there currently are no established public health practices or information systems for conducting routine surveillance in the inpatient setting. Through a contract with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, New York State Department of Health initiated the development of a statewide public–health Health Information Exchanges with New York RHIOs. Daily minimum biosurveillance data set data-exchange implementation, and evaluation efforts were focused on one RHIO (RHIO A) and one participating hospital system composed of five acute-care facilities. The objective of this paper is to assess the potential utility of inpatient minimum biosurveillance data set data obtained from RHIOs for pneumonia and influenza surveillance.

WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Department of Labor today announced a final rule that modernizes the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Labor Certification Program. Furthering the Trump Administration’s agenda to help American farmers, the Department’s Employment and Training Administration, and Wage and Hour Division are issuing this final rule in response to the extensive public comments received from farmers, farmworkers, as well as advocates and associations for both groups from across the country. This rule will modernize the Department’s H-2A regulations in response to stakeholder concerns and enhance employer access to a legal source of agricultural labor, while maintaining the program’s protections for the U.S. workforce and enhancing enforcement against fraud and abuse. “This final rule will streamline and simplify the H-2A application process, strengthen protections for U.S. and foreign workers, and ease unnecessary burdens on employers,” said Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training John Pallasch. “It is a victory for farmers, agricultural workers, and the American people, who rely on a vibrant agricultural sector to supply food for our families.” The rule mandates electronic filing of job orders and applications, bringing the H-2A application process into the digital era and harnessing the power of electronic filing through the Foreign Labor Application Gateway system to share information with federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, and with State Workforce Systems and domestic farmworkers. It also provides small employers that cannot offer full-time work for their H-2A employees with an opportunity to participate in the H-2A program by establishing new standards that permit individual employers possessing the same need for agricultural services or labor to file a single application and job order to employ workers jointly in full-time employment. Additionally, the rule will provide additional flexibilities that will reduce unnecessary burdens on the agricultural employers that use the program. These flexibilities include the ability to stagger the entry of workers into the country over a 120-day period, allowing agricultural employers the flexibility to file a single application for different start dates of need within a certified employment period instead of multiple applications. The rule will strengthen protections for U.S. and foreign workers by enhancing standards applicable to rental housing and public accommodations, strengthening surety bond requirements, and expanding the Department’s authority to use enforcement tools like program debarment for substantial violations of program rules. Learn more about H-2A Temporary Agricultural Labor Certification Program. The Department will publish the final rule in the Federal Register at a later date. Read the final rule. The mission of the Department of Labor is to foster, promote and develop the welfare of the wage earners, job seekers and retirees of the United States; improve working conditions; advance opportunities for profitable employment; and assure work-related benefits and rights.

This post is out of date This post has been migrated from my old blog. It may have broken links, or missing content. ruby on rails, hardcore mode: def method_missing(name, *args, &block) — Jake Boxer (@jakeboxer) December 23, 2013 I saw this tweet today, and it made me think about some ways in which to destroy Ruby. If you’re not familiar with Ruby, it has a great feature in that any class, method, or object can be altered. For instance, if you want to add a new function for doubling a number: This comes in handy, a lot. In fact, a lot of what powers Ruby on Rails is this idea of mutability. Unfortunately, this can also be quite destructive, as seen in the tweet above. I thought it’d be a fun experiment to come up some weird and potentially dangerous pieces of Ruby code.

When reviewing reference standards, a single word can make the difference between a requirement that is mandatory, versus one that is recommended or optional. The same is true of specifications, although in that case, most if not all requirements should be written as being mandatory. The words shall, should, and may are the focus of this article as used in SSPC/NACE standards. The examples below are from the 2007 version of SSPC-SP10/NACE No. 2 Near-White Metal Blast Cleaning. The words have been underlined and shown in italics for emphasis. Shall – Shall is used to designate a mandatory requirement. Examples of Shall: 3.1 The latest issue, revision, or amendment of the documents listed in Paragraph 3.3 in effect on the date of invitation to bid shall govern unless otherwise specified. 3.2 If there is a conflict between the requirements of any of the documents listed in Paragraph 3.3 and this standard, the requirements of this standard shall prevail. 4.1 Before blast cleaning, visible deposits of oil, grease, or other contaminants shall be removed in accordance with SSPC-SP 1 or other agreed-upon methods. Should – Should is used for requirements that are considered good and are recommended, but are not absolutely mandatory. Examples of Should: 4.2 Before blast cleaning, surface imperfections such as sharp fins, sharp edges, weld spatter, or burning slag should be removed from the surface to the extent required by the procurement documents (project specification). Additional information on surface imperfections is in Paragraph A4 of Appendix A. 4.3 If reference photographs or comparators are specified to supplement the written standard, the condition of the steel prior to blast cleaning should be determined before blasting commences. Additional information on reference photographs and comparators is in Paragraph A3 of Appendix A. 8.3 The procurement documents (project specification) should establish the responsibility for inspection and for any required affidavit certifying compliance with the specification. May – May is used to for requirements that are optional. Examples of May: 5.3 Other methods of surface preparation (such as wet abrasive blast cleaning) may be used to achieve a near-white metal blast cleaned surface by mutual agreement between those responsible for establishing the requirements and those responsible for performing the work. Information on the use of inhibitors to prevent the formation of rust immediately after wet abrasive blast cleaning is in Paragraph A5 of Appendix A. 7.2.2 Moisture separators, oil separators, traps, or other equipment may be necessary to achieve clean, dry air. Combinations of Shall and May – Following are a few examples where shall and may are used together in the standard. Examples of Shall and May combined: 2.1 Near-White Metal Blast Cleaned Surface: A near-white metal blast cleaned surface, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, mill scale, rust, coating, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter. Random staining shall be limited to no more than 5 percent of each unit area of surface (approximately 5,800 mm2 [9.0 in.2] (i.e., a square 76 mm x 76 mm [3.0 in. x 3.0 in.]), and may consist of light shadows, slight streaks, or minor discolorations caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, or stains of previously applied coating. 2.1.2 SSPC-VIS 1 may be specified to supplement the written definition. In any dispute, the written definition set forth in this standard shall take precedence over reference photographs and comparators. Additional information on reference photographs and comparators is in Paragraph A3 of Appendix A. 5.1 Clean, dry compressed air shall be used for nozzle blasting. Moisture separators, oil separators, traps, or other equipment may be necessary to achieve this requirement. 6.4 Any limitations on the use of specific abrasives, the quantity of contaminants, or the degree of allowable embedment shall be included in the procurement documents (project specification) covering the work, because abrasive embedment and abrasives containing contaminants may not be acceptable for some service requirements. Additional information on abrasive selection is in Paragraph A6 of Appendix A. 7.2.1 The presence of toxic metals in the abrasives or coating being removed may place restrictions on the methods of cleaning permitted. The chosen method shall comply with all applicable regulations. When reviewing standards or writing specifications, the words must be selected with the intention clearly in mind. “Must” is the same as “shall” and is another option in those cases when “shall” isn’t appropriate for the sentence structure.

Many Texans Forced to Use Vacation Days for Missed Time Last Week Winter Storm Uri rolled through Central Texas last week and created havoc for millions of people. Loss of power and water were bad enough, but having to stay home may have cost employees some of their PTO. Many employers have told their employees that if they want to get paid for the "time off," they'll need to use vacation, sick, or personal time to do so. That's the case with my wife. Her employer closed even on days that a lot of other businesses started to reopen later in the week, and yet she still needs to use her PTO to cover those days. Lots of employers handbooks lay out the plan for bad weather days and state that you'll need to use PTO to cover your days off if you want to get paid for those days. Still doesn't seem fair, right? What about help from the federal level? Isn't there a program to help those affected receive some kind of administrative pay during emergency weather situations? My wife's not alone in this either, as employers across the state are doing the same thing. Even if she had been able to get to work, her employer was closed. According to an article from The Hill, the bigger issue is there there are no strong worker protections in Texas. Austin Kaplan is a employment lawyer in Texas and told The Daily Beast, “There’s no requirement in Texas that people pay any vacation time at all. There’s just no safety net, or anything like that. In my estimation, the state that turned the power grid off ought to be the one paying." That sounds like a great idea. Whoever was responsible for us losing power should be the ones to cover the cost of lost wages. Seems fair! I'll confess to not knowing the laws, but isn't there some sort of paycheck protection program? Does that not apply in this case?

Over 1,200 applicants have applied in two banks Bank of Bhutan Limited (BoBL) and Bhutan National Bank Limited (BNBL) received over 1,200 applicants since the opening of the special education loans from November 16. Special education loans include the visa fee, tuition fee and living expenses for overseas studies in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and the United States of America. Both the banks have received more than 600 applicants. Majority of the loans have qualified under the secured loans. However, the figures from the Druk PNB Bank Limited could not be assessed. An official from the BoBL said that the number of applicants has decreased to 30 daily from about 200 in the beginning. The bank has processed loan for 200 applicants as of November 23. Similarly, BNBL’s director of banking operations, Hem Kumar Acharya, said that the bank receives 60 applicants daily. He added that the bank has temporarily stopped receiving the applicants on November 24 and 25 to clear the backlogs and it would be opened from November 28. The bank has disbursed around Nu 600 million (M) special education loans. “Looking at the bank’s approximate total loan portfolio of Nu 42 billion (B), we can disburse up to Nu 6.3B, equivalent to about 2,000 clients for the special education loan.” Hem Kumar Acharya said. The central bank has prescribed a lending cap for a special education loan of 10 percent of the total loan portfolio for the secured loans and 5 percent for the unsecured loans. “If the loan reaches the saturation point, the next cycle could be started after three to six months,” Hem Kumar Acharya said. The bank provides special education loans under the secured and unsecured category. Secured loans are applicable to applicants above 18 years and can avail an amount of up to Nu 5M. Unsecured loan is for ages between 18 and 35 and can avail loan up to Nu 3.5M. Unsecured loans are for those who do not have enough income or collateral from the household members amounting to Nu 3.5M. The applicant has to submit a document of net annual taxable income of household members not more than Nu 1M; household members should not have a business draft facility or limit of more than 1M or non-performing loans, and has to submit land ownership letters of all members. Household members include the applicant, his or her spouse and both their parents. However, if the applicants’ household members’ annual taxable income is more than 1M, he or she is qualified under the secured loan with collateral. The BoBL charges 8.5 percent interest for secured loans and 9.5 percent for unsecured loans per annum. BNBL has set an interest rate of 10 percent for unsecured loans and 9 percent for secured loans. Druk PNB Bank Limited offers unsecured 10.5 percent interest, and 9.5 percent for secured loans.

Poker is a card game that can be played by two or more players for several rounds. Each round involves the players putting money into a pot and then betting on their cards until one player has a better hand than all the others. When the round is over, each player’s cards are revealed and the person with the best hand wins the pot. Poker has many variants and can be played by people of all ages. It is a popular game that is easy to learn but requires some skill to play well. It is a game that requires bluffing to win, so it’s a good idea to play with someone who is a little bit more experienced than you are. During the initial deal, the dealer deals cards to the players from a shuffled deck. Depending on the rules of the game, one or more players may be required to place an initial amount of money into the pot before the cards are dealt, called a forced bet. When a player’s cards are revealed, they have the option to call the bet or raise the amount of the previous bet. In some games, a player can also “check,” which means that they do not make another bet but remain in the hand. The cards are then dealt again in a betting round and all of the players can make bets, raise bets or fold. After the first betting round, a third card is dealt face up on the board, which is called the flop. After the flop, a fourth card is dealt, which is called the turn. Once this has been done, a fifth card is dealt on the board that is open for everyone to use. This final card is called the river, and it is the last betting round. Once all of the players have made bets, raised bets or folded, a showdown takes place. Bluffing is a key strategy in poker, as it allows players to hide their hand and convince other players that they have a strong hand. This can be a great way to increase your odds of winning the game, but it is important to remember that bluffing is not always successful. In the event that you have a bad beat, don’t let it get to you too much. Generally, the odds will work in your favor over time. Poker is a popular and enjoyable game that has been around for centuries. It can be played at home, or at casinos in a variety of different forms. Some games have a limit on the number of bets that can be made during a betting round, which is known as a pot limit. These limits are often set by the casino or the individual game’s rules. Poker is a fast-paced game that requires skill and strategy to win. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you have a lot of patience and practice, you can make your fortune playing poker.

In this paper I would like to talk about the significance of noise, although it can first be seen as a nuisance, it could also have positive effects, even if you don’t realize it at first. Noise anywhere can help one gain inspiration and have a new appreciation for sound. In Ralph Ellison’s ‘Living With Music,’ he describes the concerns he had living in his apartment; he heard all these different sounds through his walls, but once he moved away he started to miss all the noises he heard and now he enjoys music more. In ‘Ways of Hearing,’ Damon Krukowski discusses how easy music is at our fingertips through streaming services, which helps people connect more with music. Both Ralph Ellison and Damon Krukowski talk about ways to drown the New York City noise out by listening to your own music that you want to hear, instead of listening to noise you are forced to listen to.

Kitchen knives are the backbone of culinary tasks, and whether you’re a home cook or a professional chef, having a good selection of knives can dramatically improve your cooking experience. A chef’s knife is a multi-purpose tool, ideal for chopping, slicing, and dicing a wide range of foods. Originating in Western kitchens, this knife is known for its distinct shape—a curved blade that allows for rocking motions. The Chef Knife is made of polished stainless steel that can stand the test of time kokkekniv. Chef knives typically have blades between 8 and 10 inches long, though shorter and longer versions are available. They are made from different materials, including stainless steel, high-carbon steel, and Damascus steel. Learn more detail about kjøkkenkniv. A chef knife should feel balanced and comfortable in your hand. Handle materials vary, with options such as wood, plastic, and composite materials. Some prefer the classic wood handles for their warmth, while others opt for synthetic handles that resist moisture and provide a secure grip. The Santoku knife, originally from Japan, has gained popularity globally for its precise cuts and versatility, often compared to the Western chef’s knife. Santoku knives are shorter, generally around 5 to 7 inches long, and have a straighter edge with a slight curve at the tip. They feature a “granton edge,” with small indentations along the blade, which reduce friction and prevent food from sticking. For those who frequently work with meat, a boning knife is invaluable. This knife has a narrow, flexible blade, typically 5 to 6 inches long, designed to remove bones from meat and fish with precision. Its flexibility allows you to maneuver close to the bone, making it an indispensable tool for butchery tasks. When selecting kitchen knives, consider the types of tasks you perform most often. For most home kitchens, a chef’s knife, paring knife, and serrated knife form a solid foundation. If you work frequently with meat or fish, adding a boning knife can be beneficial. All knives, even high-quality ones, need sharpening. A sharpening stone or honing rod is ideal for maintaining your knife’s edge. Aim to hone your knife every few uses and sharpen it periodically based on use. Chef knives and other kitchen knives are essential tools that can elevate your cooking experience and help you work with precision and ease. Each knife serves a distinct purpose, and a well-rounded kitchen typically includes a mix of versatile knives like the chef knife and specialized knives like the boning or serrated knife. Remember that investing in quality knives, coupled with proper care, will ensure these tools serve you well for years to come.

Today we’d like to discuss a topic that is commonly asked in the sushi community here in Las Vegas–A la carte vs. All you can eat sushi. Which is better? “Better” can be quite subjective, so we can break this down into several categories. Let’s discuss each topic one by one: Before we begin this discussion, let’s be clear that Osaka Japanese Bistro is not all you can eat (ayce for short). Osaka Japanese Bistro only serves a la carte sushi in both its Sahara and Green Valley location. With that being said, it’s ultimately up to you to decide whether you want to eat a la carte or all-you-can-eat, as both will have pros and cons. With that being said, let’s discuss our first topic. It is a common belief that ayce will provide better value for your meal for it’s “unlimited” nature. If you’re looking for a filling meal and prioritizing quantity over quality, ayce may be the choice for you. However, most restaurants enforce a time and order limit on certain dishes. The time limit usually ranges from 60 to 90 minutes. Certain dishes such as uni (sea urchin), amaebi (sweet shrimp), and more are limited to one order per person. It is important to understand that while a la carte can be more expensive than ayce, utilizing specials and happy hours is an excellent way to undercut the regular costs. If you are prioritizing quality over quantity, usually the a la carte restaurants will provide a better experience. The reason for this is the fish is sourced from different vendors that can be more fresh and catered. At Osaka Japanese Bistro, we ensure that all our sources are fresh and routinely inspected for quality. Because ayce restaurants tend to focus on quantity than quality, they may not have the same flexibility when ordering fish from vendors. However, some ayce restaurants offer excellent value and quality for their menu items. It is best to do your research when selecting a restaurant to dine at. Diversity of Menu. Because of the nature and popularity of ayce restaurants, the kitchen staff is primarily focused on serving ayce orders, even though it is very common to find that ayce restaurants offer an a la carte menu as well. The majority of customers that dine at ayce restaurants go for the ayce experience and not the a la carte. This, in turn, causes the kitchen staff to prioritize ayce dishes over its a la carte selections. In comparison, a la carte restaurants are usually more diversified. A la carte restaurants such as Osaka Japanese Bistro only has one main menu. This not only simplifies the experience, but it allows the chef and kitchen staff to specialize the entire menu. For example, Osaka Japanese Bistro serves authentic cuisine such as noodles from soba to udon, donburi mono, sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, and even teppanyaki. If you want a range of selections, a la carte is usually the better choice. In conclusion, there are pros and cons when you are considering dining sushi. Ask yourself these questions before making a decision. Do I want quality over quantity? Do I want more than just sushi? What is my budget? At Osaka Japanese Bistro, we want to offer you the highest quality of sushi. Osaka always offer special promotions and discounts, so please check our social media channels and website periodically. You are always welcomed to call us for any daily specials as well. Happy dining!

Thinking and meditating, more and more lately on my life, situations and things that have happened, where I am at, where I am going……make decisions, pray, ask for guidance, seek counsel, and don’t be afraid to take that step! My life has changed in SO many ways the last several years – some bad, some good, some great! Some because of things that have happened to me…….Some because of things that I made a choice on….Some because of things I am setting in plan for my future…. I was talking w someone the other day, and I just said, “I pretty much just LOVE my LIFE” How many people can say that?How many people want to say that? Are you making decisions in your life TODAY, that might allow you to be able to say that in the future? Like they say, if you keep doing the same things, you have always done, you will keep getting the same things you have always got….. Do you want to be normal? Do you want just what is there for you? Or do you want ALL that God has for you? Are you working, praying, reaching for those stars? Even if you fail *some*……landing somewhere in the skies and heaven – might not be such a bad thing 🙂 What is your DESTINY? What is your DECISION today, that will effect your FUTURE tomorrow?

Countless everyday tasks require tiny, precise movements — from holding a toothbrush to cooking and eating to putting on clothes. Even texting and giving your dog a belly rub require these skills. All of these tasks are important for independence and self-care. They also allow us to enjoy certain hobbies, like playing instruments and video games and crafting. For a child, fine motor skills are important for doing schoolwork, like drawing and writing. Several work-related tasks involve fine motor skills, too — like using construction tools or a computer or performing surgery. Below we have available to download, a number of easy and fun activities to help your Little Lawnton Learner to develop their fine motor skills in preperation for their first big year of Prep.

Strike action by Network Rail staff who are members of the RMT union causes change to planned Merseyrail services over Christmas, including Boxing Day. Tony McDonough reports Merseyrail is being forced to cancel planned services on Boxing Day due to industrial action by Network rail staff. It had planned to run a 30-minute service across the network on December 26. But a strike action by Network Rail employees who are members of the RMT union means this will no longer be possible. This also means that the last trains on Christmas Eve will now finish earlier than originally planned. Final services will run at approximately 4.30pm on December 24. These changes to the planned service will remain in place even if the industrial action is called off. This is because railway rostering arrangements mean that it will be impossible to reinstate services at short notice. As is normally the case during industrial action, there will be no rail replacement buses in operation. Those needing to travel after 4.30pm on December 24, or at any point on December 26, are advised to make alternative travel arrangements. As previously announced, there will be no train services on Christmas Day. There will be a normal weekday service on Tuesday, December 27, with trains starting when the industrial action ends, at approximately 7.30am. A limited rail replacement bus service will be in operation from the busiest stations before this time. As is usually the case on New Year’s Eve, services will finish at approximately 8pm and on New Year’s Day a 30-minute Sunday service will run. Passengers are advised to visit the Merseyrail website for full details or speak to a member of station staff. Further industrial action is planned for January 3 and 4 and 6 and 7. Details on what services Merseyrail will be providing on these dates will be published as soon as they are available.

Increasingly, it is becoming difficult and almost impossible for Ghanaians to be able to convince the UK’s Home Office (UK Visas & Immigration) with Ghanaian Birth Certificates as evidence of parentage. This is because of the widespread ease in obtaining Ghanaian Birth Certificates which the Home Office has been officially made aware—making them doubt almost every Ghanaian Birth Certificate presented to them in recent as strong evidence of parentage. If you are in the UK and you wish to bring your children to the UK, it is no more enough to present birth certificates, photos and even health records of these children to confirm your relationship with them. As an Immigration practitioner, I have in the last few months seen countless refusals like the one attached, where the Home Office seems to from start treat Ghanaian birth certificates with doubt—claiming that they don’t trust the authenticity or genuineness of these certificates. Of course, you can get a Ghanaian birth certificate for your child easily in Ghana and some unscrupulous obtain these certificates fraudulently or for fraudulent reasons. However, this does not mean that every Ghanaian birth certificate ought to be treated with such doubt. There seems to be a blanket dissatisfaction with this document as long as it is coming from Ghana. And the Home Office would always find something, sometimes even ridiculous, to say in order to reject the birth certificate or to cast doubt and refuse an application. Now, Ghanaians are left with one what possible layer of protection which is to have a DNA test done for their children they want to bring to the UK—and add the DNA test results to the birth certificates. Apart from the obvious family life and privacy invasion that DNA tests come with, they do not come cheap. Just this week, I had to book a DNA for a client and his 4 children, totalling about £1,000—all because the Home Office claims the doubt authenticity of the children’s birth certificates. Even when you have presented a DNA test results, the Home Office does not accept this on the face of it—they go as far as contacting the DNA company to authenticate this. What’s even confusion is that the same birth certificates being rejected are always used to obtain the children’s passports in Ghana—which the Home Office seems to have no qualms with. The above makes you think that the Home Office simply wants to make it extra difficult for people to bring their children over to the UK—even if this is not their intention, it is what is being caused by what seems like a recent blanket rejection of Birth Certificates coming from Ghana. I have spoken to several other Immigration practitioners in the UK and they say they also keep getting same or similar paragraphs of refusals from the Home Office about Ghanaian Birth Certificates—suggesting that this is a wide department approach. Then again, even if Ghana’s own Supreme Court’s recent ruling sort of indicates that the Ghanaian Birth Certificate cannot be trusted on its own (as it cannot be used to register to vote in Ghana), then the Home Office’s hovering doubt about the veracity of such certificates when presented is somewhat justified. If you or your children have been refused visas to the UK because of same or similar Birth Certificate issue, contact Adukus Solicitors on +447837576037 or via E-mail: [email protected] When it comes to UK Immigration Law, I mostly represent those coming to the UK to study, visit, settle or work–by representing them in their various applications, appeals, Administrative Review and Judicial Review.

Can't tell you how intrusive the ads are though, I'm blocking everything on system level. That's not a basic task, especially for an open source software, since many of the codecs are closed.

We have approximately 385 students in grades K through 8. We do not provide before school care. After school care is offered through a third-party provider, Champions, generally until 6 pm, though the consistency of this program depends entirely on that third party provider, as the school does not offer after school care. For more information click on the AFCA tab on the main navigation bar on the homepage of the website. Charter schools are independent public schools contracted by their sponsoring district to provide a specific program under the conditions of their contract. They often have a greater degree of flexibility in programming, and also a greater level of accountability in that they may be shut down by their sponsoring district if performance benchmarks are not met. Students enrolled in a charter school must meet all state benchmarks and district testing requirements, as well as any additional requirements determined by the district in the charter contract. Enrollment in a charter school is completely based on lottery; and there is no preference for neighborhood residents. Charter schools are independent organizations, operating under their own administrative and financial policies, with oversight provided by the organization’s board of directors. Full French immersion, using an international curriculum that meets Oregon standards. Le Monde strives to offer a safe and secure environment for all children, families, and staff. Whenever possible, inappropriate behavior is responded to with redirection, natural/logical consequences, guidance towards child-led problem solving, and other non-punitive approaches. Corporal punishment is never used at Le Monde. Suspension and possible expulsion is used in response to severe and/or repeated behavior that threatens the learning environment and/or the safety of students and staff. A copy of Le Monde’s Suspension and Expulsion Policy and Procedure can be obtained from the office. Physical education classes are provided at least twice a week. The demographics fluctuate from year to year due to our small size. On average we aspire to reflect the demographics of the Portland Public School District in race and income level. Parents are encouraged to volunteer at Le Monde, though there is no requirement for volunteering. Volunteer opportunities may include field study chaperones or assisting in classrooms if teachers request assistance. We also have many opportunities for parents to help with fundraising and special events outside of school time. Special Education services are provided by Portland Public Schools, with whom Le Monde cooperates in the delivery of services. Portland Public Schools, in its discretion, has the authority to determine which specialized Special Education services and programs should be provided at Le Monde, if any, and whether students requiring Special Education services would be better served at a district school. In elementary grades, students generally have art class and music class weekly, and middle school there is also exposure to art and music options. Art and Music education includes attendance at performances throughout the city, school-wide events, and visiting artists. Pre-pandemic, we had a third-party vendor provide a lunch service delivered to the school that families could purchase by ordering ahead on a monthly schedule. Most families pack lunch. During the pandemic, the third-party vendor program has been suspended.

This doll looks beautiful but the headpiece I wish was stitched on all around instead only by a thread … for the price the doll overall lacks quality Pretty to look at but could be made better The cape is held on by a thread. I don’t know if it’s like that because it’s meant to take off completely but I would prefer that it was stitched securely onto the head as it’s meant to be worn. Also the neck is very wobbly so her head is never held up right. Her head is always flopping backward like a broken neck. For the price of the doll I’d prefer it made better. I bought this for a Christmas gift for a friend, but I fell in love with her. I had to also buy one for my self. My mom took her to have her Blessed. She was so touched by the priest reaction. He carried her like a baby and caressed her, expressed how Beautiful she was. This doll was made with the most tender face. Beautiful mantel & sparkly dress. She is just beyond Gorgeous! I have her in my 4 yr old son bedroom, He calls her Lupe, Jesus Mommy. Over 2 years with our Lil Virgencita I purchased this doll for my daughter when it was first released. I believe that was over two years ago now. My daughter has slept with her virgen every single night since. If we leave town, plane or car, it doesn't matter: virgen comes with. I've never seen a doll so loved and believed to be so magical and a safety net. That alone makes me give this 5 stars. It really is just a beautiful doll as well. However, I will say the cloak does get in the way and isn't secured to the head very well. It was probably just under a year before it came apart completely and I had to use my very limited sewing skills to fasten it on better than before. That lasted about a year and it's now hanging by a single thread and will need mending again. I also recognize that as loved on as the doll has been, it's a minor inconvenience. Though I'd humbly recommend the manufacturers tending to this issue if that's a possibility with future production. As of now, I will be purchasing one for my best friend's daughter in the hopes her little one adores it as much as my girl, and that the doll makes her feel so very safe at night in her bed. I would recommend this doll to everyone, cloak issue and all :) Lil Guadalupe Doll I bought 2 for my 5 year old twin goddaughters. They absolutely loved them. Beautifully made. I loved them. I just may buy another for my granddaughter.

cinco dias más 24 August 2004I have worked for two days so far this week and only have 5 more, and then Heather gets here on the day after that. Today at work I was supposed to make food at lunch but I decided that somebody who would be there longer should be able to take my place on the line once I was gone, so I trained somebody on flat top and such, then I went for my lunch break which I was planning on going on when I was told that I was needed on the line. One of the prep cooks came back to work today which was nice because that means that I don't have to do a list on my own all week. Last night I went over to Jamie's and we played Simpsons Road Rage for PS2 and it wasn't a great game. I was quite tired last night so I went home early, but then didn't get into bed that early. I'm still tired so I think I will be off to bed even though it is just 7.30.

From the time I was 9 years old all I ever dreamed about was opening a retail clothing store. After graduating from Syracuse University cum laude in Fashion Design, I was fortunate to live that dream and open my first store at 25 years of age. It is so rewarding to curate stores that offer great style and a unique, pleasant shopping experience for the customer. Having a store is fun but it is also a business that needs to be run properly from all aspects. Now as a retail consultant with 25 years under my belt I am blessed to help others bring their visions to life. Buyer • Retail Consulting • Brand Placement • Hospitality Now more than ever it is imperative to engage your customer with stimulation, education and experience. Whether looking to add a new retail concept or improve an existing one I can create… I have been placing and growing brands from incubation to being put on the map for over 2 decades. Building a brand in today’s marketplace isn’t the same as it was. It takes a lot more strategic… I offer big picture strategic guidance and vision to help launch, scale, strengthen and energize your business by connecting you with the best in the business to help it grow and flourish into a successful model… So many factors come into play with design to make a line complete. I bring my 25 plus years of experience as an expert buyer, master retailer and designer versed in all lifestyle categories from men’s, women’s, kids, accessories… What They Say Lisa Kline ….simply the best retailer in California. She combines taste with a work ethic second to none. Lisa Kline has an amazing ability to find unique, current, and practical items. She brings an energy to everything she touches and has completely transformed our gift shop. Lisa has the talent to understand the clientele she is trying to reach and the ability to find something for everyone! I’ve known Lisa for 30 years! Her buying ability is bar none the best I’ve ever seen! She knows how to buy as a merchandiser and to make a brand successful. So all brands she buys can be bought together which is a very tricky task. She buys as a lifestyle so you leave with bags of clothes and as a very happy customer! Letter9 partnered with Lisa in order to develop a clothing line targeting the college market. Her imagination made the Letter9 Gear concept come to life, adding meaningfully to the Letter9 lifestyle brand. There’s a reason why Lisa Kline has such an incredible reputation – she has a great eye for upcoming trends and knows how to create a perfectly executed assortment. She’s organized, professional, and her passion for what she does is truly contagious. Lisa would make a valuable asset to anyone who’s lucky enough to work with her. A successful petite boutique shop, especially in luxury hotels & resorts, requires a blending of multiple talents to create success. Those talents are: a keen eye, stylish knowledge, understanding of the demographic mix, “a step ahead”, astute buying, exceptional displaying & merchandising, understanding of accent lighting, knowledge of offering a range of pricing, continual turnover of products, cutting edge in merchandise, hiring & training consistency, and PASSION. LISA KLINE has the above traits rolled together in a most interesting and success-based package. Before I even started my first clothing company, The Lisa Kline store was THE PLACE to go for not only clothing but Lisa Herself. She has a unique presence and prescience to figure out what’s on trend before it even is thought for other stores. But she also gets the “business of fashion”, one of the few who can read a P & L with equal ability and excitement as her passion for fashion. Lisa Kline is one of LA’s best Lifestyle Merchants. She is a marketing extraordinaire, a genius at product placement with the knack of being able to remain current and relevant.

Pugs approached me (Jonesy) recently and asked if I’d like to test some bikes for LTR. Let’s just say he only needed to ask me once. Now I’ve worked with Pugs and LTR years ago, both testing bikes and as a columnist, which was always fun and enjoyable. But after not having ridden any late-model bikes for a while, I jumped at the opportunity. So over the next few issues, I’ll be throwing my leg over a few test bikes, and with this in mind, we’ve tried to make it as easy as possible by breaking up our test bikes into four easy categories: - Affordability speaks for itself – what are the costs, how much to service it and how much fuel does it chew? - Versatility – big ride, small rides, can you commute on it and could you ride it every day? - Braggability – sometimes someone asks you what you ride – are you happy to unashamedly tell them about it? - Look back ability – this purely is about love when you park it, do you hesitate and look back over your shoulder before going about your business? Miles Of Smiles Rating System Each category has a ‘Miles of Smiles’ rating – 1 being the least, 10 being the most. So let’s go meet our baby… Today we have the Harley Davidson Street Glide ST. Now I’m familiar with the H-D Ultra I’ve had over a few years, and the Street feels like an Ultra that went on a diet. It’s the high-performance bagger that H-D released on the back of the King of the Bagger series in the US and comes standard with the 117ci motor along with the hi-flow heavy breather air cleaner. The basic model is priced in the mid-forties, services every 8000K’s, which is quite a lot of distance between each one, and it’ll cost you around $400 for a minor service. You’ll get about 320ks before it clicks over to reserve and it’ll cost about 40 bucks to fill. It’s pretty versatile. If you’re a bit of a loner you could rip down the shops and put a fair bit in the saddle bags. If you wanted to bring the better half you could easily buy a pillion seat. It’s not bad in the rain either, mainly due to the traction control. It’s extremely comfortable too, but most would agree that a bike is never 100% comfortable – if you want total comfort get those padded undies or buy a car. It’s a Harley! So yes, it’s definitely worth bragging about. Unless of course the person asking you about your bike is a Ducati owner. If that’s the case, there’s no need wasting your breath trying to explain something they’ll never understand. Look Back Ability And finally, look back ability. This is without a doubt the sort of bike you’d make some excuse at dinner just to go out and have another look. So the verdict? Well check out the rating below: - Affordability 6 - Versatility 7 - Braggability 9 - Look Back Ability 10 So with all that said and done, we definitely rate the Street Glide ST as a Sled worthy of your Shed…

Tonight I published the latest monthly edition of the Vancouver Cohousing Newsletter for our community, perhaps the last issue before we move in February into our 31-unit complex in East Vancouver on 33rd between Knight and Victoria Drive. The newsletter is one of my newest babies in a lifetime of birthing publications. The absolute newest is this blog, Being 69, coming to you daily since Dec. 30, 2015. I have always loved every part of the process of publishing – the writing, photography, editing, design and production. Not so much the business side. I even had a comic strip, Wry Lines, for a while. The cohousing newsletter is digital, created online with the MailChimp app. That’s a mind-blowing technological leap from the hot-lead era of 1964, when I was a 17-year-old first-year student at the University of B.C. editing the freshman newspaper The Odyssey. I was working with the president of the freshman class – Kim Campbell, later to become, briefly, Canada’s first female prime minister. Hot lead refers to typesetting systems used in letterpress printing. Men known as compositors operated large, clanking devices with keyboards that cast lines of type out of molten metal consisting primarily of lead. When I launched the first student paper, The Tartan, at the opening of Simon Fraser University in Burnaby in 1965 I went really simple using a mimeograph machine. Within two months there were three student newspapers. The surviving one emerged as The Peak, which embraced the phototypesetting technology called cold type. Machines generated text printed on photographic paper. My next baby was Discovery Passage, a biweekly newspaper I started in 1970s hippie days on Quadra Island. We began with electronic stencilling, soon upgrading to cold-type paste-ups that we sent by bus to Port Alberni. They came back as printed newspapers. Most of my working life was in daily newspapers. As well, over the years I’ve produced newsletters on a volunteer basis, most recently for the first two years of Limmud Vancouver, the festival of unexpected Jewish learning. The third edition of LimmudVan is this weekend and tickets are still available. Earlier this evening, Yossi and Debbie Havusha came over with their son, a fellow fan of Canada’s No. 1 tennis star Milos Raonic, who plays at 12:30 a.m. Vancouver time Friday in the semi-final of the Australian Open against Andy Murray. Yossi produces Yossilinks, Vancouver’s online Jewish community, and Debbie blogs on the website. A recent post highly praised her experience at December’s Chanting & Chocolate. On the last Sunday of every month, the January event is this Sunday at Or Shalom at 7:30 pm. I get the word out with a digital newsletter. That’s me, lower left, with the staff of my newspaper on Quadra Island in 1972.

Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment used to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial features. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical option for those looking to enhance their appearance, and can be used to address a range of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, thin lips, and sunken areas of the face. The effects of dermal fillers can last anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport are a type of injectable treatment used to temporarily relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They work by blocking the signals between the nerves and muscles, preventing the muscles from contracting and creating wrinkles. Neurotoxins are most commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated facial expressions, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines. The effects of neurotoxin injections typically last three months, after which time the treatment can be repeated. Neurotoxins are a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful appearance without the need for surgery or downtime. Cool Peel Laser Improve tone, texture, fine lines, pore size, and sun damage with the award winning, no-downtime CoolPeel. CO2 lasers are the gold standard for treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes as well as tighten skin and balance tone. Damaged skin tissue is removed, or ablated, stimulating new collagen production as heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin.
