Judith Ann Timm (Ledder) was born on April 26, 1940, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Esther Ledder (Pein) and Max Ledder. She graduated from Washington High School in Milwaukee in 1958.
After graduation, and while raising her children, Judith worked at Globe Union and Treat All Metals. Upon retiring from Treat All Metals, she worked for several years at Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.
In her spare time, Judith enjoyed volunteering and spent many hours serving at a church meal program and working at a community garden, among other groups and organizations. She also loved playing games like canasta, Skip Bo, sheepshead, and cribbage. She was known to be a bit competitive and liked to win.
Judith loved her grandchildren. She spent many years traveling when her granddaughter, Kristina, was born, going wherever her son and his family were stationed to be able to be a part of her life as she grew up. She also spent many years helping care for her disabled grandson, Owen. She was selfless and put the needs of others above her own.
Judith is survived by her fiancé, Delbert Bowman; her daughter, Jill Ostrowski (Jared); her daughter-in-law, Leonisa Timm; her grandchildren, Kristina Timm (Jon Hayes) and Owen Ostrowski; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Max and Daniel Ledder; her sister, Marion Meyer; and her son, Thomas Timm.
As was typical of Judith, she didn’t like anyone making a fuss over her, so she did not want a funeral. If you would like to honor Judith’s memory, please donate to Midwest Therapeutic Riding Program in Union Grove, Wisconsin (https://www.midwesttherapeutic.org/how-to-help), where she spent many hours watching Owen ride horses, or any other charity of your choice. Also, enjoy a bagel or some chocolate in her honor. Judith loved a good bagel and especially loved chocolatey treats. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Quinoa (it's pronounced as “keen-wah”) is one of the newer trends in healthy eating. It looks like a grain, and in the culinary world it's considered as being in a grain (like bulgur or rice), but in reality it actually belongs to the same family as chards, spinach, and beets. You can buy quinoa in two varieties: the red type and the white type, which is creamy. Quinoa was initially grown in the Latin American countries of Bolivia, Peru and Chile for thousands of years. Here, it was a fundamental part of the diets of both the Incas and their descendents. Now, it's enjoyed by people from all over the world.
Quinoa is so good for your health that the UN named 2013 the “International Quinoa Year.” First, it has twice the amount of protein that rice or barley does; its protein content is actually similar to that of milk. This is because it contains all nine amino acids, including lysine and isoleucine acids, which are less common. We can consider the amino acids as being the components of proteins, so, when you eat quinoa, you're consuming a complete source of protein. This makes it an especially good choice for vegans and vegetarians, who often struggle with getting enough proteins.
It also contains omega 3 fatty acids, which are great for your heart. Moreover, it's low in calories; for a quarter of a cup of quinoa, you'll consume some 170 calories.
Quinoa contains no wheat, so it's a good choice for people who have celiac or other gluten intolerances. It's the least allergenic of culinary grains. It also has significant amounts of riboflavin, which reduces the incidence of migraine attacks. Plus, it also contains saponins, which promote your skin’s healing abilities.
Quinoa has been correlated with preventing and treating diseases. This is because it contains phytonutrients, which are anti-inflammatory. It also contains more good fats (monounsaturated fats) than common cereal grasses.
Eating quinoa is a great way of adding calcium, manganese and magnesium to your diet. It's also ideal if you want to increase your intake of vitamin E, dietary fibres, and certain B vitamins.
With its crunchy feel and nutty taste, quinoa is delicious no matter when you eat it whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even as a midnight snack. You can also use it to make sides or appetizers. Examples of meals include vegetarian casserole, salad with quinoa, lentil and feta cheese, and quinoa rice pilau with roasted tomatoes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – The District of Columbia Language Access program partners spoke with approximately 90 advocates and government officials nationwide today in an online discussion about the District’s successful efforts to ensure all residents receive quality translation and interpretation services. The webinar – hosted by the Migration Policy Institute – focused on the District’s language access work in building a collaborative District-wide process for formulating contracts and implementing the services used by residents who are limited English or non-English speakers.
The webinar underscored the importance of a citywide contract that sets quality control measures and uniform standards across agencies, and the need to engage community members to uncover common difficulties faced by those who need language access services. Language access partners began reviewing the existing live translation and document interpretation services with the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) in 2009 after concerns existing services were not meeting customer needs because of poor quality. Last year, after extensive best practices research and unprecedented cooperation across agencies, a new solicitation and contracting process was implemented that most believe has greatly improved the services available.
“We appreciate the opportunity to talk with language access advocates and city and state officials about our successful efforts because it is so important to those who speak limited or no English,” said Mónica Palacio, Director of the Language Access Program. “Without vendors who provide reliable quality translation and interpretation services, District residents will continue to be denied equal access.”
Today’s webinar was moderated by Migration Policy Institute’s Chhandasi Pandya with presenters Neel Saxena of the Office of Asian Pacific Islander Affairs (OAPIA) and Simone Richardson of OCP. District-wide Language Access Program partners include OAPIA, as well as the Office of African Affairs (OAA) and Office of Latino Affairs (OLA). The District of Columbia’s Office of Human Rights (OHR) is charged with oversight of the Language Access Program office.
“Collaboration is a necessary component in an agencies’ daily work. OAPIA with OAA, OLA and OHR, have been successful partners in finding innovative approaches in reaching our limited English and non-English communities,” said Soohyun “Julie” Koo, Executive Director for OAPIA. “OAPIA is pleased to have the opportunity to participate in the webinar and believes that agency coordination leads to effective outcomes. And for our communities, that means information can be passed along to them quicker.”

“Accoucheuse” Dream Meaning: Understanding the Symbolism Behind This Popular Dream
Dreams have always been a source of fascination and mystery for humans. They are often seen as a window into our subconscious, revealing hidden desires, fears, and emotions. One common dream that many people experience is dreaming about an “accoucheuse”. In this text, we will explore the symbolism behind this dream and what it could mean for your waking life.
The Role of an Accoucheuse
Before delving into the meaning of this dream, it is important to understand the role of an accoucheuse. An accoucheuse is a French term for a midwife or a woman who assists in childbirth. In ancient times, they were highly respected and revered for their knowledge and skills in helping women give birth. Today, they are still considered essential in many cultures and play a crucial role in bringing new life into the world.
Giving Birth to New Ideas or Projects
One interpretation of dreaming about an accoucheuse is that it symbolizes the birth of new ideas or projects in your waking life. Just like how an accoucheuse helps bring new life into the world, this dream could be a sign that you are ready to give birth to something new and exciting. It could be a creative project, a business venture, or even a new relationship. This dream is a reminder that you have the potential to create something amazing and should not be afraid to take risks.
Nurturing Your Inner Self
Another possible meaning behind dreaming about an accoucheuse is that it represents your need for self-care and nurturing. The act of giving birth can be physically and emotionally taxing, and this dream could be a reflection of your own need for rest and rejuvenation. It could also be a reminder to take care of your inner self and address any emotional or mental needs that you may have been neglecting.
Fear of Change or the Unknown
On the other hand, dreaming about an accoucheuse could also symbolize your fear of change or the unknown. Giving birth is a significant life event that brings about many changes, and this dream could be a manifestation of your anxiety towards these changes. It could also represent your fear of the unknown and the uncertainty that comes with it. This dream is a reminder to confront your fears and embrace change as it is necessary for growth and progress.
In conclusion, dreaming about an accoucheuse can have various meanings depending on your personal experiences and emotions. It could symbolize new beginnings, self-care, fear of change, or even a desire for motherhood. Whatever the interpretation may be, this dream serves as a reminder to pay attention to your inner self and trust in your ability to bring new life into the world, whether it be in the form of ideas, projects, or relationships. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
“Busy” Dream Meaning: Understanding the Symbolism Behind Being Busy in Your Dreams
Dreams are a mysterious and fascinating aspect of our subconscious mind. They can be filled with vivid imagery, strange scenarios, and powerful emotions. Many people believe that dreams hold significant meaning and can provide insight into our inner thoughts and feelings. One common theme that appears in dreams is being busy. Whether it’s rushing around trying to complete tasks or feeling overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list, being busy in dreams can have various interpretations. In this text, we will explore the symbolism behind being busy in your dreams and what it could mean for your waking life.
The Feeling of Being Overwhelmed
One of the most common interpretations of dreaming about being busy is feeling overwhelmed in your waking life. This dream may be a reflection of the stress and pressure you are experiencing in your daily routine. It could be a sign that you are taking on too much responsibility or struggling to keep up with your obligations. Your subconscious mind may be trying to tell you to slow down and take a break before you burn out.
Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)
In today’s fast-paced society, many people struggle with the fear of missing out (FOMO). This fear can manifest itself in our dreams as being busy, constantly trying to keep up with others or not wanting to miss out on any opportunities. If you often dream about being busy, it could be a sign that you need to reevaluate your priorities and focus on what truly matters to you instead of trying to keep up with everyone else.
Avoiding Emotions or Responsibilities
Sometimes, being busy in dreams can represent avoidance behavior. You may be using busyness as an excuse to avoid dealing with your emotions or responsibilities. This dream could be a reminder to face your feelings and take care of your obligations instead of burying them under a pile of tasks.
A Need for Balance
On the other hand, dreaming about being busy could also indicate a need for balance in your life. Perhaps you have been neglecting certain areas, such as self-care, relationships, or hobbies, in favor of work or other obligations. Your subconscious mind may be urging you to find a healthy balance between work and play to improve your overall well-being.
The Desire for Productivity
For some people, being busy in dreams can represent a desire for productivity and accomplishment. You may be feeling unfulfilled in your waking life and yearning for more purpose and meaning. This dream could be a sign that you need to set goals and take action towards achieving them.
Conclusion: Listen to Your Inner Voice
Dreams about being busy can have various interpretations depending on the individual’s personal experiences and emotions. It’s essential to pay attention to the details and context of the dream to understand its meaning fully. If you frequently dream about being busy, it may be helpful to reflect on your current lifestyle and make any necessary changes to find balance and fulfillment. Remember to listen to your inner voice and trust your intuition when it comes to understanding the symbolism behind your dreams. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Our research outline
ResearchGabriella Kelemen Key Research Interests Our main research interest is studying bacterial development of Streptomyces coelicolor, a Gram-positive, filamentous bacterium. Unlike most bacteria that divide by binary fission, in Streptomyces coelicolor long, multigenomic filaments are formed with ocasional septa and regular branching. Cell division is completed only during sporulation when 50-100 sporulation septa are laid down synchronously in the aerial hyphae generating unigenomic spore compartments. Current Projects Include:
Matt Hutchings Key Research Interests We are interested in how bacteria interact with the environment and how they sense and respond to environmental signals. All bacteria contain a cell envelope which consists of at least one cell membrane and (in most cases) a cell wall. Bacteria interact with their environment using cell surface proteins which are anchored either in the cell wall or the cell membrane. We are characterising two classes of these proteins in the filamentous bacteria Streptomyces. The first class are called sensor kinases and they span the membrane and transmit signals from the outside to the inside of the cell. They pass these signals to cognate response regulator proteins inside the cell and these bring about a response to the original signal, usually by altering gene expression. The second class are called lipoproteins and are attached by a lipid modification to the outside of the cell membrane. They have diverse roles including the scavenging of nutrients, surface attachment, virulence, respiration and the assembly of secreted proteins. We are looking into their roles in signal transduction and virulence in these soil bacteria. Richard Bowater Key Research Interests Having trained as a biochemist, my research interests have broadened out to encompass methodologies that involve biophysical chemistry, microbiology and molecular biology. More recently, I have even dabbled with bioinformatics and structural biology! The research focus of my group is macromolecular interactions of bacterial DNA repair proteins and we have focused attention on DNA ligases. Our experiments are performed in vitro or in bacterial model organisms. Current Projects Include:
Rebecca Goss Key Research Interests The group is interested in the biosynthesis of natural products and in how these biosynthetic pathways may be harnessed to generate natural products of our own design. Many natural products are of medicinal importance. We are also interested in determining the molecular mode of action of drug molecules. It is our aim to couple these two interests, manipulating biosynthetic pathways to expediently access series of otherwise synthetically intractable natural product analogues, which can be utilised in structure activity determination. Current Projects Include:
The antibiotic pacidamycin (Figure 1) (Streptomyces coeruleorubidus), the HIV-1 integrase inhibitor complestatin (Figure 2) (Streptomyces lavendulae), and the potential antitumor agent spirotryprostatin (Figure 3) (Aspergillus fumigatus) all contain a tryptophan moiety. It is envisaged that synthesising and feeding halogenated tryptophans to the producing microorganisms will produce novel halogenated analogues of these compounds, with potentially improved bioactivities and bioavailabilities.
Due to its efficacy in binding proteins FKBP12 and the rapamycin associated binding protein (FRAP), rapamycin (Figure 4) (Sirolimus) is used clinically as an immunosuppressant. Crystal structure analyses have shown that a crucial hydrogen bond exists between Gln53 of FKBP12 and the hydroxyl group on the substituted cyclohexane ring of rapamycin. Glu54 is also proximal to this moiety. Modifications to the cyclohexane ring will alter these bonding interactions and could potentially have a beneficial affect on rapamycin's immunosuppressive properties. Rapamycin is biosynthesised by Streptomyces hygroscopicus. This organism has demonstrated low substrate specificity in its selection of a starter unit, the substituted cyclohexane carboxylic acid. A range of fluorinated cyclohexanoic acids are being synthesised for incorporation studies into rapamycin. Similar studies are being performed with the polyketide antibiotic erythromycin. Crystallographic studies of novel rapamycin analogues with FKBP12 and FRAP will be undertaken. | | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
TICA® and Wisdom Panel™ began a history of collaboration promoting cat knowledge and genetic research with The State of the Cat study, a partnership started in 2017. The project reached its goal of screening 1,000 pedigreed cats for genetic disease, traits blood type and genetic heterozygosity using Optimal Selection™ Feline and MyCatDNA™. This massive effort culminated in a groundbreaking scientific publication published in PLOS Genetics in June 2022, titled: "Genetic epidemiology of blood type, disease and trait variants, and genome-wide genetic diversity in over 11,000 domestic cats". This study is the largest genetic study of pedigreed and domestic cats of its kind, and has contributed significantly to our understanding of the distribution and prevalence of genetic disease and traits in cats.
Now, TICA® members and non-members can continue to enjoy the benefits of this longstanding partnership with Wisdom Panel™ through the newly launched integration with Optimal Selection™ Feline and MyCatDNA™, available at discount through both the TICA® website and record management portal, TFMS. This partnership was officially announced by the Wisdom Panel™ PRO team and the TICA® board of directors at the TICA Annual in Hampton, Virginia, 2024. Reception was very positive for this update to TICA services.
As respective leaders in our fields, both businesses are very excited for the opportunities this partnership will bring in promoting the pedigreed cat breeding profession, genetic research in cats, and cat health and beauty for cat lovers of all kinds.

Unemployment can be a challenging time for anyone. Not only does it bring financial strain, but it can also lead to feelings of uncertainty and anxiety about the future. During this time, securing funds may seem like an impossible task. However, unemployed loans can provide a solution for those in need of financial assistance during this difficult period.
Unemployed loans are specifically designed to help individuals who are out of work and in need of financial support. These loans come in various forms, including personal loans, payday loans, and even government assistance programs. The main goal of these loans is to provide temporary relief to those who are struggling financially due to unemployment.
One of the main benefits of unemployed loans is that they are easily accessible to those who need them. Unlike traditional bank loans that require proof of income and employment, unemployed loans do not have strict eligibility requirements. This means that even if you are currently without a job, you may still qualify for a loan.
Additionally, unemployed loans offer flexible repayment options to accommodate your current financial situation. Whether you choose a short-term loan or a longer-term installment plan, there are options available to suit your needs.

Guest blogger Christian Coxen believes that traveling is the greatest of learning experiences. There is no better way to do it then in a well-situated rig with the perfect views, adventure and gear. Read about his journey down to the Southwest and back with PAKMULE!
It was the tail end of August–the last of our time to button down the hatches at home and prepare for the longest trip we had ever taken the rig through. We were looking ahead at two months on the road. The trip was planned around the permit that my girlfriend’s dad had gotten for a private trip down the Colorado River through the legendary Grand Canyon. He had entered the lotto in 1995 and it had just been pulled for September 2018. I came trotting along at just the right time in history to get invited to row one of the six boats on the trip. We figured this was the perfect chance not only to experience one of the most renowned rivers on the face of the globe, but also to get the van cruising through many of the places that neither of us Washingtonians had ever been before. We began plotting our planless trip down to the Southwest and back with nothing more than making it to Flagstaff for the put in date, and enjoying life on the slightly rushed trip down as well as the leisurely voyage back.
Come time to load up my van, “Blue”, I realized the time to invest in a trailer hitch gear rack was now. After researching my options I landed on PAKMULE and knew that their product was of the quality I was searching for. When I got it in the mail I had zero hesitation and all the confidence in the world that the rack was all it had snuffed up to be.
Through Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, not once did I have a lick of trouble with my PAKMULE rack, and I was always thankful for it being there. We spent time in Utah exploring the land of the red rocks around Bears Ears where we found ourselves waking up surrounded by lightning, heavy winds, and torrential rains causing instant flash floods. The trip provided one eye opening experience to the next. By then we were halfway into our month on the northbound section of the trip. We were ready to leave the busy Moab area to see some trees and clean rivers once again. With a quick dash for the Tetons we escaped the desert and slowed our roll to enjoy Yellowstone, the Missoula area, and a short but glorious stretch of Idaho, where our wandering souls were fulfilled.
This memorable trip was made by the landscapes we passed and places we spent time, as well as the folks we met and beautiful wild creatures that inhabit the West. Traveling is the greatest of learning experiences–there is no better way to do it then in a well situated rig with the gear storage dialed to the T.
I now sit in Blue at home in Port Townsend Washington with over four thousand five hundred miles of road, and two hundred and twenty five miles of river behind us with even more confidence in the PAKMULE product than ever. Not only did it serve as a great rack for gear, fuel and firewood, but it became a favorite place to take a seat and watch a sunset, or rig up my rod to fish the next section of stream. Just last week I put the rack to the ultimate test when I got the van completely stuck in the mud after a night of heavy rainfall. We hiked up the road and found a nice fellow with a tractor to yank us out. When I went to hook up the straps, they wouldn’t fit through the eyes given on my hitch receiver, so I ran the strap around the first structural joint in the PAKMULE frame. I was nervous but it gave not a squeak as it pulled ol’ Blue out of a solid foot of thick mud. I’ll never question the strength again after this experience with the rack traveling far and wide, and getting unstuck right in my backyard. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Rise & Shine a light on disability and family violence
A new series of Rise and Shine Pacific Disability Resources are now launched to raise awareness of disabled people and family violence. They challenge some Pacific community attitudes towards the disabled community, addressing the stigma that sometimes leads to the physical and emotional abuse of disabled Pacific people.
Launched on the International Disabled Person’s Day, Sunday 3 December 2017, Rise & Shine is a series of personal testimony videos and a music video.
The resources aim to address the stigma that sometimes leads to the physical and emotional abuse of disabled Pacific people.
Produced by Mr Fonoti Pati Umaga of Banana Leaf 4 Productions and Kanohi ki te Kanohi, the resources had funding support from Pasefika Proud.
Marama Edwards, Group General Manager Community, Partnerships and Programmes at the Ministry of Social Development, officiated the launch.
She says Fonoti approached the Pasefika Proud team about making his idea come alive.
“Pati wanted a video to reflect the principles of Pasefika Proud and change the way people viewed and treated people with a disability. The Pasefika Proud ethos was a perfect fit,” she says.
“We agreed to find a creative medium that embraces a youth-oriented approach through music and performance with the aim of raising awareness of the issues for our disabled Pacific peoples, to break down the stereotyping and stigma in having a disability.”
The series features a song by Auckland high-schoolers Tone6 and personal testimonies from Mathew Ngametua (Cook Island), Lavinia Lovo (Samoan/Tongan) and Luhama Niu (Tongan), as well as Feagaigafou "Nainz" Tupa’i & Logovi’i Tupa’i - Members of Adeaze - with brother Larry Leatuao Tupa’i-Samuel (Samoan).
The video resources are being released on the Pasefika Proud website and Facebook page over December. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Nearly 1.6 million or one in five children in Afghanistan are engaged in child labor, many of them working in hazardous conditions, according to UNICEF. Most of them earn less than one dollar per day.
According to reports, around 90% of Afghans lack enough food to eat, which is forcing many impoverished families to send their children to work. Instead of going to schools, these children are taking care of their siblings and supporting their family. Many are also forced to work due to unsafe migration, family separation, detentions, and injuries from unexploded ordinance.
While the US sanctions on Afghanistan continue, several governments and international donors have also withdrawn their assistance since the Taliban returned to power last year. The economic fallout of this has compounded the humanitarian crisis in the country. Studies on Afghan children, including children living and working on the streets, agree that their contribution to household income has become a key part of families incomes. They are often involved in begging, street vending, agricultural activities and manufacturing. Hazardous jobs include working in coal mines and brick kilns.
Children working in coal mines make between USD 3-8 per day, depending on how hazardous the task and how long they work. They could be engaged in jobs ranging from digging the coal to lining the brittle tunnel walls and loading trucks.
A survey by aid organizations of around 10,000 households concluded that the number of Afghan families with male heads of household reporting at least one child working rose from 13% in 2021 to 21% in 2022. For families with female heads of household, the figure increased from 19% to 29% in the same period.
Unsafe migration. Family separation. Detention. Injuries from unexploded ordinances. School dropout.
In Afghanistan, 1 in 5 children is engaged in child labour, often caused by one or more of these linked issues.

The first ever Mercedes-Benz V8 Supercars have been unveiled in Homebush in Sydney. Three E-Class-based racers will be on this grid for the 2013 season, driven by Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade, and Maro Engel.
Falling within the regulations of the series, the Mercedes-Benz racing cars are powered by an AMG ‘M159’ 5.0-litre V8 engine. Official specifications are yet to be revealed, however, rumour has it the cars are the most powerful in the field, sporting around 650hp (485kW).
The cars aren’t officially backed by Mercedes-Benz, instead, they have been setup by Erebus owner Betty Klimenko. She is a known motorsport fan, and part of the 12th richest family in Australia. She said in a recent Herald Sun report,
“It is not often in life that you get to touch your dream. To love motorsport is to love the feeling of being alive.”
“To hear, see and feel the excitement and to be part of one of the greatest sporting teams in the world is amazing. I love the challenge and I love the perfection of my cars and my crew.”
Based on Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG sedans, the finished race cars certainly look the part. They will join a mix of Holden and Ford this year, as well as the four Nissan Altima V8 Supercars revealed just a few days ago. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Issues for surgery
Loss of symptomatic relief from dyspepsia and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) if omitted.
Advice in the perioperative period
Elective and emergency surgery
Omit dose(s) whilst fasting.
For patients with increased risk factors for aspiration (e.g. pregnancy, obesity, non-fasted state in emergency surgery) consider administration of acid-suppressing medication (oral or intravenous) pre-operatively.
Restart post-operatively, when required.
For patients on enteral feeds – see Interactions with other common medicines used in the perioperative period.
Patients undergoing anti-reflux surgery or total gastrectomy
Review continued need for antacids following surgery.
Interactions with common anaesthetic agents
Interactions with other common medicines used in the perioperative period
Common antimicrobials used in the perioperative period where a significant reduction in bioavailability has been shown or where there is a theoretical interaction include:
- Quinolone antimicrobials (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin)
- Tetracycline antimicrobials (doxycycline)
Consult product literature for recommendations on separating doses to ensure absorption.
Administration of oral iron preparations should be separated from antacids to allow for appropriate absorption, consult product literature for recommended interval.
Large doses of some antacids can reduce the bioavailability of corticosteroids; however, it appears small doses do not interact. Given the uncertainty consider separating administration of oral corticosteroids and antacids by 2-3 hours.
Risk of aluminium toxicity
Absorption of aluminium from aluminium salts is enhanced by citrates which are found in many effervescent preparations e.g. soluble analgesia. Caution is needed in individuals with renal impairment as aluminium toxicity could occur.

Is the sharp rise in energy costs reason enough to want to replace your heating system? The answer is no: there are many other factors to consider before deciding on a costly switch.
Homeowners need to be reminded of this, especially at a time when many are feeling real panic and thinking of giving up on fuel oil, with the price of this energy source having risen in sustained and spectacular fashion in recent years. Because if there’s one thing that no one can predict, it’s what trend energy costs are going to take in the years to come—regardless of the type of energy!
Just a few years ago, oil-fired systems were the cheapest way to heat a house. Who knows how much it will cost to supply natural-gas or electric systems 10 years from now? Besides, a central heating system normally has a useful lifespan of at least 25 years. In other words, when seeking a more economical way to heat your home, the cost of the energy source cannot be your sole consideration.
Factors to evaluate before making the switch
There is a lot to be gained by approaching the problem from different angles before you give the green light to replacing an existing system—all the more so if that system still works perfectly well.
- Is your existing oil-fired system less than 15 years old? If so, replacing it now is very probably not a wise move. In principle, the performance of your new system will likely not lead to large enough savings on your heating bill to allow you to earn back your investment within a reasonable amount of time.
- Have you evaluated your home’s annual heating energy consumption (your heating load)? If consumption is relatively low, changing systems will obviously lead to only minimal savings, and it may take a very long time to absorb the cost of conversion.
- Have you looked into ways of improving your existing system’s efficiency (by upgrading the burner) or performance (by reducing heat losses)?
- Have you considered dual energy; i.e., a hybrid electricity/oil system? By adding an electric furnace (which heats water) or a forced-air heater to the existing furnace, you can benefit from a significant reduction in the cost of electricity (thanks to Hydro-Québec’s DT rate) when the outside temperature is equal to or above 12°C.
- Can you lower the amount of heat needed by making the building envelope more impervious? In other words, is it better to invest in heating less, or in paying less to heat? Adding insulation and sealing air leaks will have a direct impact on the cost of heating your home as well as the comfort of its occupants.
- Have you calculated the full costs that would result from conversion, beyond the purchase and installation of new equipment? These extra costs include installing a chimney liner or eliminating the chimney altogether, removing the existing equipment including the oil tank and its fill pipes, upgrading the electrical panel, all the related repair work, etc.
In short, there are many ways to lower high heating costs. It’s possible to modify, replace or even convert an existing heating system. There are also ways to keep heat in, and keep cold air out.
Every option comes with an immediate cost and an approximate timetable for achieving optimum cost-effectiveness. This is why we warmly (pun intended) recommend that you take a wider look at the situation rather than rushing ahead with a costly choice that may well be the wrong solution to your problem.

My Grandma Davis I didn't get to know you as well as I wanted to. You died when I still didn't know much about life. I know it was the first time I saw my Dad cry. I do remember your oatmeal raisin cookies and the gifts you lovingly made us at Christmas time. And the beautiful roses you tended in your back yard. You lived in town and I in the country so it was always a special treat to walk to your house from school when I needed to stay in town. Sometimes when I drive through Walnut on my way home to the farm I drive by your house to try to hang on to the few memories I have of you.
I'm sure if I had gotten to know you better I would have found an outstanding woman. After all you are the mother of my father, and my Dad is special. Such a special Dad could only have been the son of a special woman. Therefore I honor you my grandmother with a spot among other great women remembered in the Carrie Chapman Catt memorial. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Normally, I would rip on something like this; but because I come from a union family and because I have a very long memory, I get it.
Via The Hill:
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka amplified his call for a politically independent labor movement Tuesday and said unions too often are holding “a canceled check” after Election Day.
Trumka rallied hundreds of nurses at a conference hosted by the National Nurses United. The nurses are in Washington this week to lobby lawmakers for a financial transactions tax that could help pay for social services.
Trumka said unions want “an independent labor movement” that doesn’t support just one political party or candidate. Labor has often been unhappy with its traditional allies in the Democratic Party, and Trumka said friends of unions in Congress have often paid little heed to workers’ needs.
“For too long, we have been left after Election Day holding a canceled check waving it about — ‘Remember us? Remember us? Remember us?’ — asking someone to pay a little attention to us. Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a snootful of that s–t,” Trumka said to cheers.
Now, there are some on my far right, that would say, ” See? This proves that labor controls the Democratic Party!” Well, there is much more to this than that.
You see, I happen to remember the 1990’s and the era of the Clinton Administration. I also remember the signing of the NAFTA bill. I also remember the labor movement; especially the UAW and related unions never forgave Bill Clinton for signing that bill.
Because you see, to the labor movement, Clinton’s signing of that bill was the ultimate abdication of the progressive principles that the Democratic Party. To them, Clinton sold the unions and the members who work in the auto plants here in Detroit up the river.
So, what you are seeing here is simply “blowback” from those actions. Also too, it has been reported that the attitude of the Obama Administration is; or at least was, “f—- the big three!” That sort of attitude, does not bode very well amongst the union members or with the labor movement at all.
Now, for the realist “right of center” view of this; any attempt by the labor movement to create a new political party will be an abject flop and could be a disaster for the labor movement. My reasons for thinking this are:
1. The Democratic Party is very highly financed. Not to mention Party bosses carry a good deal weight and are known to use questionable tactics to get what they want. I predict a “Battle of the overpass” style of attack, if this plan of the AFL-CIO goes through with such a plan.
2. The second most important reason that this approach will flop is this; the labor movement simply does not have the numbers anymore
Way back in the 1940’s; before, during, and after World War 2, union membership was at its zenith and on into the 1950 and 1960’s union membership blossomed. However, those days of union growth and strength are over. They simply do not have the clout anymore in the progressive movement anymore.
Because if this; I personally believe that this idea would be a foolish move. While I greatly admire those who strongly believe in their convictions; I believe this would do more to hurt the labor movement, than it would ever help.

On Monday, November 13, 2023, allegations surfaced on social media claiming Kwaku Boahen who is the Deputy Communication Director of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) had said the Vice President isn’t a Northerner.
The claim was extensively circulated including Sir Obama, a leader of the Bawumia Must Win (BMW) a pressure group formed to support the Vice President in his ambition to become the next President.
Some social media users who also found the allegation disturbing joined in sharing the artwork which had an image of Deputy Communication Director and an unknown logo, Democracy Dispatch.
After advance checks by Political Fact Ghana, we can confirm that the said claim which made waves on various social media platforms is false and deceptive.
Kweku Boahen has not said anything of the sort.
It is said that such assertions are deliberate deeds intended to delude the people against the Deputy NDC Communication Director. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Porirua winners have been announced for the Wellington Airport Community Awards.
At a ceremony at Pātaka on Tuesday night, category winners were:
Ngā Uri o Whiti Te Rā Mai Le Moana Trust (Arts and Culture)
The Voyage - Te Roopu Tiaki Rangatahi (Education and Child/Youth Development)
Kiwi Community Assistance (Health and Wellbeing)
Āhuru Mōwai Trust (Rising Star)
Porirua MenzShed (Heritage and Environment)
Cycle Safe Porirua (Sport and Leisure)
The supreme winner from these was food rescue organisation Kiwi Community Assistance. Founded in 2011, KCA has more than 60 volunteers and was deemed an essential service after Covid-19 arrived on our shores - it dishes out more than 1.3 tonnes of surplus food each day.
KCA also carries out cardboard recycling for supermarkets, composting, and facilitates the donation of many non-food items such as clothing, linen, school supplies and Christmas presents to people in need.
Porirua City Council’s General Manager Community & Partnerships, Reuben Friend, said the Wellington Airport Community Awards are a chance to show off how volunteer groups make the city vibrant and energetic, and a better place for us to live.
"Everyone nominated demonstrates their passion for Porirua and its people through their ongoing commitment - they show innovation, effectiveness, perseverance, impact and activity within our communities," he said.
Wellington Airport’s Manager Brand and Sponsorship, Jo Maxwell, said the airport was proud to recognise the amazing work of community groups in Porirua over the previous 12 months.
"Many of these groups don’t always get the recognition they deserve, which is a big reason why we run these awards," she said.
"Congratulations to all the winners, and best of luck for the Regional Community Awards finals later this year."

Title: : A Comprehensive Analysis
The monthly jobs report is a key economic indicator that provides insights into the health of the labor market. However, interpreting the data can sometimes be challenging due to the mixed signals it can send. In this article, we will delve into the nuances of the jobs report, analyze the various factors that can impact its numbers, and provide valuable information on how to make sense of the mixed signals it may present.
Understanding the Jobs Report:
The jobs report, also known as the Employment Situation Report, is released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on a monthly basis. It includes data on employment levels, unemployment rates, labor force participation, and other key indicators that help economists, policymakers, and investors gauge the state of the economy.
Factors Influencing the Jobs Report:
Several factors can influence the numbers reported in the jobs report, leading to mixed signals. Some of the key factors to consider include:
- Seasonal adjustments: Certain industries may experience fluctuations in hiring based on the time of year, which can impact the overall employment numbers.
- Labor force participation: Changes in the number of people actively seeking employment can affect the unemployment rate.
- Economic growth: The overall health of the economy, including GDP growth, consumer spending, and business investment, can impact job creation.
- Government policies: Changes in regulations, tax policies, and government spending can influence hiring decisions by businesses.
Interpreting Mixed Signals:
When analyzing the jobs report, it’s important to look beyond the headline numbers and consider the broader context. Here are some tips for making sense of mixed signals in the jobs report:
- Focus on trends: Look for patterns and trends in the data over multiple months to get a clearer picture of the labor market’s trajectory.
- Consider other indicators: Supplement the jobs report with other economic indicators, such as consumer sentiment, manufacturing data, and housing market trends, to form a more comprehensive analysis.
- Be aware of revisions: The initial numbers reported in the jobs report are often revised in subsequent months, so be prepared for potential changes.
Benefits and Practical Tips:
- Stay informed: Keep up to date with the latest economic data and analysis to better understand the context behind the numbers in the jobs report.
- Diversify your sources: Consult multiple sources of information, including government reports, financial news outlets, and independent analysts, to get a well-rounded perspective on the labor market.
- Seek professional advice: If you’re unsure about how to interpret the jobs report or its implications for your personal or professional situation, consider consulting with a financial advisor or economist for guidance.
HTML Table Example:
Below is a simple HTML table illustrating the trend in job growth over the past year:
| Month | Jobs Added |
| Jan 2021 | 233,000 |
| Feb 2021 | 468,000 |
| Mar 2021 | 770,000 |
| Apr 2021 | 278,000 |
| May 2021 | 559,000 |
In conclusion, the jobs report provides valuable insights into the labor market, but it’s important to approach the data with caution and consider the various factors that can influence its numbers. By understanding the nuances of the jobs report and staying informed about economic trends, you can better navigate the mixed signals it may present and make more informed decisions for your personal or professional situation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Serverless computing is a cloud computing model that allows developers to build and run applications without managing the underlying infrastructure. The term "serverless" does not mean that there are no servers involved; instead, it signifies that the complexity of server management, scaling, and maintenance is handled by the cloud provider.
Key Points about Serverless Computing in the Context of AWS Lambda:
Abstraction of Servers: Developers do not have to provision, manage, or maintain servers. They simply deploy their code, and the cloud provider takes care of the rest.
Event-Driven Execution: AWS Lambda functions are triggered by events (e.g., HTTP requests, file uploads), allowing code to run automatically in response to specific actions.
Automatic Scaling: AWS Lambda automatically scales the number of function instances based on demand, handling multiple requests simultaneously without any manual intervention.
Pay-As-You-Go Pricing: Users are charged only for the compute time and the number of requests, making it cost-effective for variable workloads. There are no costs for idle resources.
Focus on Code: Developers can focus on writing code and building applications rather than worrying about infrastructure, allowing for faster development and deployment cycles.
In summary, serverless computing allows you to run applications and services without the need to manage servers. In AWS Lambda, it means deploying functions that execute in response to events, automatically scaling to meet demand, and only paying for the time your code runs. The infrastructure is abstracted away, enabling developers to concentrate on building functionality rather than handling server operations.
Serverless computing is a cloud computing model where developers can run code without managing the underlying servers. Instead of provisioning or scaling servers, developers write their code and upload it to a serverless platform (like AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, or Azure Functions). The cloud provider takes care of everything related to server management, including scaling, updating, and monitoring, and only charges when the code runs.
Analogy for Serverless Computing
Think of serverless computing like ordering a taxi through a ride-sharing app.
In a traditional setup, if you wanted a dedicated vehicle (like a company car) for your transportation, you’d have to:
Buy or rent the car (like provisioning servers).
Maintain it (updating, patching, scaling servers).
Use it efficiently so you’re not wasting money while it’s idle.
With serverless computing (like a ride-sharing app):
You simply order a taxi when you need it. You don’t worry about the car’s maintenance, fuel, or availability; you just focus on your ride.
You only pay for the time you’re using the service. Once you’re done, there’s no further cost.
Similarly, in serverless computing, you don’t need to manage the infrastructure. You focus solely on your code, and it runs only when needed, with billing based on the actual execution time.
Example of Serverless Computing
Imagine you have a website that collects feedback from users. You want to set up a function that processes each feedback form submission by storing it in a database.
With serverless computing, you can:
Write a function that takes the form data and saves it to the database.
Deploy it on a serverless platform (like AWS Lambda).
Set up a trigger to run this function each time a feedback form is submitted (such as an HTTP request or database event).
In this setup:
Your function runs only when a user submits feedback, so you only pay for the processing time during those specific events.
You don’t need to manage servers, monitor capacity, or worry about scaling, as the serverless platform handles it all automatically.
Serverless computing allows developers to focus only on writing code without worrying about infrastructure. Just like ordering a ride when needed instead of owning and maintaining a car, serverless computing lets you run code on demand without managing servers, providing flexibility and cost efficiency. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) on Friday said it could start limited face-to-face classes in more degree programs by January.
The commission has been floating the idea of expanding face-to-face classes in areas with low Covid-19 cases and high vaccination rates.
In a “Laging Handa” news briefing, CHEd Chairman Prospero de Vera III said guidelines for these classes could be finished within the year.
“[A]ng tina-target natin diyan ay matapos sana ang guidelines maybe November o December at titignan natin kung anong kalagayan on the ground by January kung pwede na ito,” he said.
De Vera reported that 27 percent of college students in the country have been vaccinated.
The number, the CHEd chairman said, was still low.
“Hindi natin puwedeng isugal ang kalagayan ng mga estudyante at kalagayan ng kanilang mga pamilya kung mababa ang level ng vaccination,” he said.
President Rodrigo Duterte has approved the resumption of in-person classes in medicine and other health-allied courses, and recently engineering and technology, hospitality, and tourism.
According to CHEd data, over 21,000 students from over 180 higher education institutions all over the country have participated in limited in-person classes. John Ezekiel J. Hirro | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
After the loss of our 10-year-old Frenchie, a good friend suggested contacting Pristine Frenchie’s in Naples Fl to find our next puppy / Frenchie. For those that have not gone through the process to find quality legitimate dog breeders it’s a very painful and unpleasant experience, after communicating back and forth with Susan and her husband (owners of Pristine Frenchie’s) We quickly realized we were dealing with special people and extraordinary breeders. We were thoroughly vetted (no pun intended) throughout the process, comprehensive application, video discussion and a very professional contract, it was clear that Pristine Frenchie’s go to good homes and even better people, we were quite delighted to be accepted as future parents. We picked up our puppy “Eli” on a Sunday, a 3-hour drive full of excitement and wonder as to what we would find when we arrived. As we pulled into the driveway Susan and her husband were there to welcome us, we quickly went inside to see our puppy. First impressions the house was immaculate, every piece of equipment from playpen to the scales we weighed Eli on, were immaculate and each room had happy barking puppies, a “Waldorf Astoria for Frenchie puppies “. Susan and her husband spent much time answering all our questions, provided a wonderful puppy starter kit and a comprehensive documentation package with all of Eli’s vaccination and medical records. We were also introduced to Eli’s parents and grandparents (who are their pets) the next morning we had an appointment with our local vet to have Eli examined (as all new puppy owners do) the vet could not have been more positive as to Elis’s health and overall condition. We send Pristine pictures daily of Eli’s progress and he is the happiest little dog with even happier parents. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Surface finishes in the manufacturing industry have evolved rapidly over the last two decades. Coatings play a critical role in the decoration and protection of your products. This has fueled the rise in popularity for powder coats over liquid coating in industrial finishes. As of 2019, the global market share for industrial powder coating stood at $12.39 billion. In the US, 10% of total industrial finishing applications use this technology. Here is an in-depth analysis of what makes professional powder coating popular.
It is a finishing process that involves the use of dry powder that is applied electrostatically to the surface of the substrate. The product then passes through a curating oven where the powder coat melts and blends over the surface to form a hardened coating. The result is a glossy finish that is resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and fading.
Before the application of the dry powder, the material must be cleaned and treated. Sandblasting removes dust, dirt, and debris that may affect the quality of the final finish. The manufacturer gets rid of rust, oil and grease residues by dipping the substrate in weak alkali and neutral detergents. It results in a clean and smooth surface ready for professional powder coating. The wash stations have sections for cleaning, rinsing, etching, blasting, and drying.
There are two techniques used, depending on the nature of the powder coating material. These are:
- Thermosets: The powder material has resin additives made from polyester, polyurethane, epoxy, and acrylic. The blended powder melts and undergoes irreversible chemical cross-linking reactions. The reactions produce long-chained polymer molecules that harden to a thick, even, and glossy finish.
- Thermoplastics: There is no addition of resins, with the powder melting and fusing with the metal material to form a tough coat.
The two main methods are:
- Electrostatic deposition: This is the most common technique for metal substrates. The application uses an electrostatic spray gun to deposit charged dry powder on the surface of the metal. The spray booth acts as a work area, as well as a filter for powder overspray.
- Fluidized bed powder coating: The material is dipped into a fluidized powder bed where the powder particles cover the surface of the substrate. An electrostatic fluidized bed generates a cloud of charged powder particles above the fluid where the products are passed through.
Products coated with electrostatic deposition must be cured in a powder curing oven. The temperature and time for the cure depend on the material’s size, shape, and thickness. Most ovens operate between 350°F to 450°F. The powder melts and flows over the surface, forming a continuous film.
Products passed through fluidized beds are heated before powder application. As the heated material immerses into the powder, the particles melt and flow in contact with the heated surface, forming a thick coating.
Once cooled, the product can then be assembled packed and shipped for the market. Powders coatings are free of solvents and have negligible amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOC) present in wet paints. This makes powder coats to be environmentally friendly, increasing their demand.
Professional powder coating is a multi-step process that guarantees durable finishes for your products. The coat is also corrosion resistant and environmentally-friendly. For additional information on the powder coating process, talk to the team at Professional Finishing. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Torchlight Infinite features a variety of characters to choose from, and each has different play styles and skills. Skills are the character's abilities or special attacks, and besides, the basic attack will be the main way you fight. But you might be wondering how skills work in Torchlight Infinite.
Skills work a little differently in Torchlight Infinite. You don't unlock skills by leveling up like in most games, but rather, you earn them from completing quests, drops, and purchasing them from vendors. Some skills will have level requirements before you can purchase or equip them.
Each character has unique skills that only they can equip and use and share skills with other characters. This lets you try out some skills and use them on other characters if you like them. It also gives you many options when it comes to building your character and your abilities.
Mix and match your skills to find what works best for you. Some skills work better with others when combined, while others may need a specific style. Experiment until you find the best combination!

minus-square𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoThis is a lot like what I do. Where possible, my apps are TUIs, so terminals dominate. At any given point I have 4 tmux sessions with around 6 tabs in each. I haven’t refined that, though, because my editor (Helix) also has window support and many editing tasks (yank/paste) are easier with Helix windows that with multiple helix sessions running in different tmux tabs. This works best with full-screen terminals, and I find myself closing tmux panels to open helix windows… I need to refine this. A few apps are GUI. Browsers, PDF viewers, graphics editors. Those are all full-screen. How do you use the sliding feature this way, though, and how is it better than just having separate desktops? Do you use multiple displays, or only one?
minus-squarepooberbee (they/she)@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoI prefer to use my WM and a lightweight terminal instead of term tabs or tmux. If another window is going to be short-lived, I won’t bother, but for longer tasks I’ll move to a new workspace, often opening new terminals and file managers, as needed.
minus-square𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoI use tmux for anything I want to be long-lived. Displays, terminals, and WMs, all crash far more often than tmux. I’ve never once had tmux crash on me; at this point, I’m not sure that it’s possible for it to crash (only half-joking).
minus-squarepooberbee (they/she)@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoWhen I was doing more remoting into servers, having tmux was great. These days it’s all local dev, so it’s far less important to me. Plus, I had gotten to a place where my tiling WM, tmux, terminal tabs, and vim tabs were all competing for keyboard shortcuts, and it was driving me crazy.

I admit, this is so bad that occasionally - and especially if I make the mistake of stopping to think about it - my brain freezes and I can’t remember the chord for a few second. What helped immensely was first kmonad, then Kanata, and finally a QMK keyboard. I use exactly the same keys for navigation, create, delete, etc operations, and only vary the layer key - WM under my pinky, tmux under my index finger. Helix has it’s own bindings and ways of managing windows that are different enough as to not really confuse me, and I don’t use terminal tabs at all, so it’s really only WM and tmux. But, yeah: a Helix split window, in a split tmux tab, in a split herbstluftwm window can occasionally get me stuck for a few second as I unbox all the layers.

Congratulations to Ross Cathcart who has been nominated in Production Award: Sound Engineer of the Year in the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2024. Vote for Ross Cathcart now!. It’s going to be another great night at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards on Saturday 30th November in Inverness Leisure. Why not join us for a brilliant night of music and awards. Buy a ticket here.
We asked Ross of Ross Cathcart the following questions.
Tell us about yourself
I’ve been working as a Live Sound Engineer in Scotland for over 10 years. I began my career as a Venue Technician at The Arches and have since worked for The Art School, the O2 ABC/O2 Academy and SWG3 in the same capacity. However, it was the meeting of Dave Town from Blackbox Pro Audio many years ago which gave me my introduction to the Traditional Folk scene in Scotland where the vast majority of my work now takes place in as a Front of House Engineer. A selection of acts I work with regularly include: Imar, Rura, Talisk, Project Smok, Mec Lir, Elephant Sessions, Manran and Shooglenifty.
Why are you involved in Scottish music?
Ultimately I’ve chosen to specialise in Traditional Folk music because out of all the genres I’ve mixed over the years, I’ve not found as much joy or the same sense of reward as I do working in Scottish music. It’s a genre which has a worldwide fan base and it’s great to be able to play a part in bringing it to those audiences.
Any particular career highlights?
A definite highlight of the past year was mixing Front of House for the Valtos and Friends show at SWG3 as part of Celtic Connections 2024. The performance took several months of planning as almost every song had a different guest act so there was a lot of moving parts but thanks to a solid effort from everyone involved it took place flawlessly.
What are your plans for the future?
Simply to continue playing my part in representing Scottish music and culture in all its forms to those who share the same appreciation for it.
The 2024 MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards are on the 30th November 2024 in Inverness Leisure Centre! You will be able to watch it live in person (buy a ticket here). Watch it live in the UK at 9pm (GMT) on BBC ALBA and and around the world here. Bands performing on Saturday 30th November include Julie Fowlis, Skipinnish, Laura Wilkie and Ian Carr, Highland Young Musicians and Arc Fiddlers, An Dannsa Dub, BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician Award winner 2024 Calum McIlroy and more!
If you would like to support Hands Up for Trad in their work with Scottish trad music and musicians why not become a friend of Hands Up for Trad.

We interrupt our usual hairy programming to bring you this musical interlude.
What could be so important that we would skip mustaches, beards, and goatees?
Well, today marks the anniversary of the Washington, DC, premiere of This Is the Army, with songs written (and one performed) by Irving Berlin.
You would easily recognize Irving Berlin’s songs “God Bless America,” “White Christmas” and “Putting on the Ritz.” But the citizens and soldiers of 1943 would have easily recognized “Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning.”
When World War II broke out, Irving Berlin was already a very successful songwriter. During World War I, he had been drafted by the Army to raise morale through music, which he successfully did with his musical Yip! Yip! Yaphank. Now, three decades later, Berlin was ready to do the same for his adopted country again.
The result was the musical production This Is the Army. Although Laurence Bergreen notes in this Prologue article, “And in case the army didn’t like it, he had another title in reserve: This Is the Navy. Or the Air Corps. Whatever. But his heart was with the army.”
One of the most interesting aspects of the show was that the performers were soldiers, and this company was integrated. Originally minstrel-style songs had been sung by white performers in blackface in Yip! Yip! Yaphank thirty-odd years before, but this had fallen out of favor.
So Berlin hired African Americans, who sang and danced and starred in the only integrated company of the U.S. military. And when This Is the Army went on tour across the globe, they performed, ate, bunked, and travelled with their white co-stars, fending off attempts to desegerate them by producing a paper from General Marshall.
Eleanor Roosevelt saw This Is the Army three times, and when her husband’s health did not permit him to make the journey to New York City, the show came to Washington, DC, kicking off a national tour.
It was an enormous success and the production was turned into a movie by Warner Brothers and grossed $9,555,586.44 million, which was donated to the Army Emergency Relief Fund. (The soldiers in the movie received military pay of $250 per week, including its star Ronald Reagan!)
After the movie Berlin and his men toured the globe, from Italy to Guam to Egypt to Japan, braving U-boats and bombs and illness to bring music and morale to the fighting troops right up until the end of the war. So go google This Is the Army, watch a few numbers, and tip your hat to the singing, fighting spirit of Irving Berlin and his men!
Want to read the full story of intrigue and action that went into making this film? This post is based on “This is the Army,” the article Laurence Bergreen wrote for Prologue, the magazine of the National Archives. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As individual states legalize and regulate online gambling, it has taken a while for banks to alter their insurance policies to reflect the modifications in online gambling laws. If there’s an issue, your youngster may also try to tell you that gambling is best than a few of the opposite issues she may very well be doing – for instance, ‘At least I’m not taking medicine, Mum.’ Try the shotgun guess: spread the split bets or corner bets throughout the sphere. Attempt the Kavouras technique: 1 unit on corner guess 0-3; then two items on Double Street guess 31-36; then 1 unit each on cut-up bets 8/11, 13/14, 15/18, 17/20, 27/30. This strategy is tougher to use; these bets cover half of the roulette wheel and help you get increased GTA 5 online money winnings if like evaluating it with lighter black/red bets.
All the time, play at the tables with the best limit: this permits the absolute best winnings in case your finances allow it. Slots are easy and quick: slots require at the very least the time to play around from all Soccer video games. However, you might be just as more likely to lose rather than a lot around. At all times, count on defeat: whoever believes in winning every spherical will get upset and discouraged by the minute. You’ve to remain focused and not let it get the better of you. Play “Deity of the Sun” and “Diamond Mirror” for the highest winnings: in case you have sufficient coins, these two slots are those it’s important to play. Nonetheless, entertainment is a vital requirement, particularly those containing several extra bucks over the weekend.
You cannot win poker just by placing your money in it. Some websites have programmed the software program and possible to make it arduous to win. Strive the James Bond technique: bet one chip on 0 and 00, 5 chips on the double street bet Soi keo bong da 13-18, and finally 15 chips on the second dozen 19-36. These bets cowl most of the desk and therefore have a higher probability of success. Instead of GTA, you should utilize the chance to implement your knowledge in real Soccer. New York sportsbooks can supply any type of guess on major league sports, including wagers on all New York groups. The Pair Plus guess: If you wish to play it, it ought to all the time be tailored to the ante wager. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Self-care is an essential part of maintaining and improving our general well-being. However, most people often neglect exercising self-care due to their busy schedules. Here are some tips on how you can introduce self-care into your daily routine without having to compromise your schedule.
1. When you look yourself into the mirror in the morning, give yourself some words of encouragement or positive affirmations such as “You are deserving of love, kindness and respect. Choose to prioritise your own well-being”, “You have overcome previous challenges in the past, learn from them and keep moving”.
Words of affirmations are powerful tools for boosting one’s self-esteem and confidence and are most effective when spoken genuinely. Starting the day feeling more confident will help you to feel more optimistic and energised to deal with whatever challenges that comes your way.
2. While commuting to work, use the time to practise simple and yet discreet relaxation exercises to keep you calm before starting your busy work schedules. These can include:
a) Deep breathing exercise where you focus on your breathing and take in slow deep breaths. When you inhale, allow your abdomen to expand and when you exhale, allow your abdomen to contract. Work towards a comfortable and steady rhythm.
b) Mindfulness exercise where you practise being fully present in the moment, observing your thoughts, feelings and sensations without judgement.
c) Visual imagery where you can close your eyes and imagine yourself in a peaceful and calming environment (e.g. beach, forest) to help you relax. Alternatively, you may want to visualise yourself achieving success towards a goal or engaging in a pleasurable activity. Immerse yourself in the visual image and engage your senses to experience the positive feelings associated with these images.
3. As you work in front of the computer, you can continue to practise deep breathing exercises to help you relax or do some neck and shoulder stretches to relieve muscle tension that has built up over time.
4. Being physically active is important in maintaining physical health and energy. Opt to take the stairs instead of the lift or simply head out for lunch instead of ordering food delivery services. While at work, take frequent short breaks to move around and stretch your legs.
5. Proper nutrition is also very important in maintaining our physical health as well as concentration at work. Schedule regular lunch breaks and opt for healthier food options. Knowing that we are actively caring for our health can also help to uplift our mood.
6. It is important to avoid bringing work stress home. You may choose to practise relaxation exercises or mindfulness or simply take a short stroll around your neighbourhood to help clear your mind and relax before returning home.
7. Hot showers are known to help soothe muscle tension and relieve stress. Taking hot showers at the end of the day can help to relax you and improve sleep. However, avoid showering too close to bedtime as hot showers raise body temperature and this may make it harder to fall asleep.
8. Blue light emitting from electronic devices is known to affect production of melatonin and hence, interfere with sleep. Instead of spending time using your electronic devices, it may be good to spend this time sharing your day with your loved ones.
This can help to increase communication within the family and foster stronger family bonding and support. Alternatively, if you prefer something more solitary, you can choose to read a book, or listen to some relaxing music to wind down before sleep. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Does energy consumption influence architectural style? Should more energy-efficient buildings look different? Can that “look” be used to explain or enhance their performance?
Architecture and Energy provides architects and architectural theorists with more durable arguments for environmental design decisions, arguments addressing three different scales or aspects of contemporary construction. By drawing together essays from the leading experts in the field, this book engages with crucial issues in sustainable design, such as: The larger role of energy in forming the cultural and economic systems in which architecture is conceived, constructed, and evaluated. The different measures and meanings of energy “performance” and how those measures are realized in buildings. The specific ways in which energy use translates into the visible aspects of architectural style.
Drawing on research from the UK, US, Europe, and Asia the book outlines the problems surrounding energy and architecture and provides the reader with a considered overview of this important topic.

Erosion control involves the implementation of strategies to prevent the wearing away of soil and land surfaces due to natural forces at riverside locations, coastal areas and even due to flooding. It is vital because erosion can lead to damage to property and assets, loss of valuable topsoil, and environmental degradation. Effective erosion control ensures the stability of landscapes, infrastructure, and natural ecosystems.
If the property is located in an area prone to erosion, such as a coastal region or along a riverbank, erosion protection measures are highly recommended. Our experts can conduct a site assessment to determine the erosion risks and recommend appropriate solutions.
Yes, environmental sustainability is a priority in our erosion protection strategies. We integrate eco-friendly techniques, such as using native vegetation and bioengineering methods, to minimize the ecological impact while providing robust erosion control.
The lifespan varies based on factors such as the chosen techniques, materials used, and site conditions. Our solutions are designed for durability, and we provide guidance on maintenance to extend their effectiveness over the long term.

Earlier this month we posted about our latest charity challenge which involved climbing the Welsh Three Peaks in aid of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC): https://rabconsultants.co.uk/news/teamrab-ready-for-welsh-three-peaks-charity-challenge/
Well now we’ve done it! A fantastic effort by all ten of TeamRAB. Below is a report of the challenge written by RAB Senior Engineer, Peter Batty. Lots of pics at the ending of the article too.

One car setting off in luxury from Milton Keynes with only Dan, Joe and Zach on board. The other setting off from the Midlands collecting people as we went, ending up in less luxurious conditions with the car stacked seven bodies high (Al, Charlie, George, Josh, Rob, Tom and myself) and countless bags, including the largest, Charlie’s snacks!
We were given an excellent tour by Noel Hughes, from Severn Trent, into the history, construction, and inner workings of Clywedog Dam, which regulates flow in the River Severn and supports the drinking water in the West Midlands. A very impressive structure, that only very few get the opportunity to experience in the way we did.
Following the tour, we spread people between the cars making things much more comfortable and headed up towards Snowdon for some dinner, drinks and quite a few games of pool. Some people more worried about the early start than others.
A 4am start saw us setting off up Snowdon in the dark with head torches. Worth it for the spectacular sunrise just before we made the summit. We were up and down ahead of schedule and headed off to Cadair Idris, 45 minutes away.
Turns out 45 minutes is not long enough for your legs to recover from 5 hours walking up Snowdon. The selected route up was particularly tough consisting almost exclusively of steps and loose rocky scrambles. After conquering the steps and scrambles, we thought we were approaching the summit, however we were confronted with the soul-destroying realisation that it was a false summit and there was a short downhill section leading to yet more steps and scrambles! Some choice words were uttered at Josh for his route selection. Luckily, the route down was much less taxing.
Onto the next and final climb, Pen y Fan, luckily a much easier ascent. Head torches required again to reach the summit, and for some of us with now ruined knees, a very slow descent. This did allow the mountain goat that is Tom to have a nap back at the cars whilst he waited for us! Everyone was back down at the cars for 11pm.
60,000 steps, 2350 vertical meters and 19 hours later we had completed the Welsh 3 Peaks! Some saying they could do it all over, some saying never again and everyone else somewhere in between. A fantastic effort by everyone and a real achievement to be proud of. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tennessee’s Department of Treasury has returned around $63 million to Tennesseans, after 78,000 claims through the state’s unclaimed property program this past fiscal year.
The money is turned over to the state by businesses, organizations, and other groups that were unable to find the rightful owner.
They have a certain amount of time to locate whoever the property belongs to before they hand it over to the state to be returned through the unclaimed property program.
Examples of unclaimed property would be a utility refund, a lost paycheck, an insurance refund, things that should have been returned to you in the first place but were never returned.
It’s free to claim the money through the state, simply go to…

Finance Minister, Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta, in February this year assured Ghanaians that Ghana will not seek a bailout from the International Monetary Fund, IMF, despite the current economic prevailing challenges.
The Minister at the time stated that says government will consider home-grown solutions to deal with the difficulties because the country has what it takes to turn its ailing economy around.
Speaking at the third in a series of town hall meetings in the Northern Regional Capital of Tamale on the controversial Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy), Ken Ofori-Atta maintained that government will do what is best for the country.
“I can say; we are not going to the IMF. Whatever we do, we are not. Consequences are dire, we are a proud nation, we have the resources, we have the capacity. We are not people of short-sight, but we have to move on. So let’s think of who we are as strong proud people, the shining star of Africa, and we have the capacity to do whatever we want to do if we speak one language and ensure that we share the burden in the issues ahead.”
However, President Akufo-Addo has asked the Finance Minister to begin talks with the IMF on a possibility of a bailout.
This was announced in a statement issued by the Information Ministry today, Friday, July 1, 2022.
The statement said, “The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has authorized Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to commence formal engagements with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), inviting the Fund to support an economic program put together by the Government of Ghana.”
“This follows a telephone conversation between the President and the IMF Managing Director, Miss Kristalina Georgievs, conveying Ghana’s decision to engage with the Fund,” the statement noted.
“The engagement with the IMF will seek to provide balance of payment support as part of a broader effort to quicken Ghana’s build back in the face of challenges induced by the Covid-19 pandemic and, recently, the Russia Ukraine crises,” the statement added. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Shopify and NFT and Web3 app-building platform thirdweb have launched ‘Commercekit’, a new development kit for developers to easily build Web3 commerce apps.
Commercekit and Shopify looks to support merchants in building apps that enable new ways to engage with their buyers. Potential uses include distributing NFTs to create customer ‘segments’ for future campaigns.
This could mean that loyal customers that hold NFTs could access future items on sale, access exclusive sales or products, as well as pre-sales.
This move could also position selling NFTs as a distinct new product category, creating a new revenue stream for businesses.
For developers and merchants, Commercekit makes it easier to integrate web3 features into their stores & websites. With CommerceKit, you can:
Distribute membership passes and create on-chain loyalty programs — rewarding loyal customers with exclusive free drops, token-gated products, discounts, and even IRL shopping experiences
Sell digital collectibles directly through your storefronts, and collect royalties from secondary sales (e.g. one-of-one NFTs, open editions, trading packs, etc.)
Leverage on-chain data and merge it with existing web2 data to build a more complete customer profile — with web3 metrics such as digital asset ownership and transactions to build more personalized shopping experiences & targeted marketing campaigns
For consumers, Commercekit makes it easier to interact with web3 eCommerce apps without previous blockchain experience — with features like:
Gasless relayers for merchants to subsidize consumers’ gas fees for blockchain transactions
Easy NFT checkout for users to buy digital collectibles with credit cards
Seamless wallet sign-in so that users can log in & manage their accounts seamlessly in the simplest way possible — supporting all of the most popular wallets (e.g. MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and more)
And for developers, Commerce makes it as easy as possible to build blockchain-enabled eCommerce apps by providing a complete web3 development toolkit.
thirdweb explained that it believes the tools used to build Web3 commerce today are “limited and outdated”. It aims for the new ‘Commercekit’ to make building Web3 commerce experiences faster and more simple.
Jake Loo, CTO and co-founder at thirdweb, said:
“We’ve spent the last 18 months working closely with Web3 developers and brands interested in building blockchain apps. It became clear that integrating Web3 with commerce had huge demand and we believe Shopify is the best possible partner we could work with to build these tools.
“We’re excited to be combining our best-in-class Web3 development tools with Shopify’s commerce tools, and we truly believe this will kickstart the Web3 commerce revolution.”
CommerceKit comes with a suite of tools that work with 700+ EVM chains, out of the box, for free. This includes:
Explore: Acollection of pre-built, audited, and customizable smart contracts — all deployable in one click — for the most popular commerce use cases: token-gating for exclusive access, revenue splits for brand collaborations, NFT airdrops for loyal (& potential) customers, and more. You can also build your own contract with ContractKit, which provides you with base contracts that can be configured with extensions.
Web3 SDKs: Blockchain SDKs for developers to easily integrate smart contracts and digital assets into eCommerce apps — supporting all the most popular languages such as React, TypeScript, Python, and Go.
Web3 Auth: Connect existing web2 insights with on-chain data to build a more complete profile for your customers — creating more personalized buying experiences.
Multi-Chain Support: Connect to over 700+ EVM-compatible blockchains, without changing a single line of code.
Deploy: Build web3 apps & deploy smart contracts seamlessly with our best-in-class deployment workflow, designed for team collaboration.
UI Components: Integrate plug-and-play UI components for users to interact with the blockchain easily — without even realizing it.
Dashboards: Manage, analyze, and interact with all of your deployed contracts conveniently from a single, easy-to-use dashboard.
In the past 12 months, thirdweb has also grown to over 50,000 monthly active developers using their tools and nearly 10,000 active developers doing over 500,000 blockchain transactions a month.
Alex Danco, director of product at Shopify, commented:
“As a merchant, understanding your customers and finding new buyer segments is mission-critical for running a successful business.
“We’re excited to partner with thirdweb, the fastest shipping team in Web3, to help make smart contracts and Web3 wallet addresses an essential part of the commerce and loyalty toolkit.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The possible customizations of your games with your social network data include a personal play-list for Rock Band, personalizing team-members in Madden NFL to looking like friends and decorating Grand Theft Auto billboards and logos to reflect your “Likes.”
Eric Lempel, Sony Computer Entertainment VP of Network Ops told Forbes that the biggest game developers are interested in developing with the Facebook integration in mind. The first such games will be out for the Holiday gift-buying season.
In addition to leveraging the Facebook API for more rewarding gameplay and better access to players’ pocketbooks, the integration also benefits Facebook. Even as Facebook’s premier game developer, Zynga, has sought ways to extend its games off the Facebook platform, Facebook is seeking to do the same.
This is an integration a power of magnitude greater than the previous simple ability to publish your in-game scores or other achievements to your Facebook account. Although 200 million people already play Facebook games, it also allows Facebook to enter the realm of AAA games, what the hordes of hardcore gamers consider “real games.” Not only is there prestige involved, access to non-casual gaming is access to a $20 billion industry. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The MoonWEC, a new technology for wave energy conversion in the Mediterranean Sea
This work presents the MoonWEC, a new device for wave energy conversion. This new concept encompasses several working principles as the heaving point absorber, the oscillating water column and the overtopping. The development of the new WEC has been carried out through numerical modelling. Three main parts of the device have been simulated: a hollow floating structure, a central moonpool and a CALM mooring system. All the parts of the model have been coupled to obtained the general behaviour of the device under the effect of irregular sea states. The device has been designed according to the Mediterranean Sea wave climate. Its dimensioning aims to maximize the power absorption by tuning both,device and moonpool, natural periods with the identified prevailing sea states. Six mooring system configurations have been tested in order to obtain a stable, safe and yet effective behaviour. Finally, performance indicators have been drawn to assess power production in two selected locations in the Mediterranean Sea. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Joseph Pilates stated, “Above all, learn how to breathe correctly.”
Proper breathing is the cornerstone of the Pilates method of exercise.
The Pilates breathing technique promotes learning how to use the full capacity of our breath by emphasizing a complete inhale and a complete exhale. There is also a focus on maintaining the engagement of the abdominal muscles throughout both the inhale and exhale which allows the body to strengthen the core muscles and create movement from the center of the body.
It is not an easy task to focus on proper breathing technique while executing the Pilates exercises and still keeping a whole body awareness of our alignment and form. Just remember that Pilates is a movement practice and every time you practice it will get easier and easier, and your body will naturally start to incorporate the breath and movements!
Today’s video will give you some reminders of how to execute the Pilates breath and give you some tips to practice. When learning or fine tuning this breath it may help you to just practice the breathing by itself without the added coordination of trying to perform specific exercises while breathing.

Speaking to the press today following successful surgery to pin the quadruple fracture of his collarbone he suffered during Sunday's Tour of Flanders Fabian Cancellara said he would be back training within a week and possibly as soon as Thursday. Spartacus aims to be racing again in May.
According to a statement from his team, Cancellar would be fit to train on an 'ergometer'* but he is still suffering from a lot of muscle pain following his crash in a feed zone during middle part of the race.
"I'm happy that the surgery went so well, but I'm still in pain. I'm going to rest a couple of days, maybe even a week, and then resume training. I had two major goals this season: the classics and the Olympics. The spring campaign is unfortunately over for me now. Because I had planned a break after the classics anyway, my build-up towards London will not change. The plan is that I return to competition in May, possibly the Bayern Rundfahrt, as I did last year."
Cancellara has made no secret of his targeting of Olympic gold in London and he will undoubtedly be one of the major threats to home favourite, Mark Cavendish and his Team Sk… GB colleagues in the battle for top spot on the podium for the road race. Cancellara though will also be one of the favourites to take gold in the time trial too. Cancellara has already made at least one trip to recce the route and should easily have the power and stamina to deal with multiple laps of Box HIl in the road racel even if he has to do it without a team as strong as some of his main rivals such as Cavendish.
Reflecting on the incident that scuppered his classics plans for this year Cancellara said:
"A crash is part of cycling, and in a way it's also part of life. I have been working really hard in the last four months to be in the best shape possible for the big races; and I'm confident that I would have performed well. However, I'm glad I only broke my collarbone and that I'm ok for the rest. I'll be back!"
Cancellara made a point of thanking his teammates, cycling fans, the medical staff who treated him, and his wife Stephanie who is expecting the couple's second child.
"The amount of messages wishing me a speedy recovery is really nice. I also had a lot of contact with the team members that are still in Belgium. I told them that they should keep their heads up and be ready for a good battle on the cobblestones on Sunday."
Talking about the support he receives from his wife he said:
"A bike rider needs the unconditional support of his family to perform well. Stefanie knows this and she fully supports my career. Now that we are expecting a second baby, I'm even more motivated to train hard and aim high for the Olympics."
Before Cancellara spoke, RadioShack Nissan Trek team doctor Andreas Gösele explained the treatment so far given to the injured rider and what the next steps would be:
"My colleague, doctor Farkas, used a clavicle pin (picture below) to put the bone together. It's a procedure where we insert a pin in the clavicle itself, instead of using a plate and a lot of screws to keep the bone together. This procedure is a lot more natural and doesn't affect the strength of the bone once the device is removed. The pin will be removed once the fracture is completely healed, at the very earliest in six weeks time. But this is really a small routine operation."
*No we don't think Spartacus will be jumping on a rowing machine - Radio Nissan Trek are using the word in it's strictest sense to refer to an exercise machine equipped with a power measuring device. Probably

I recently bought a used Braava Jet m6, and I have some problems that I hope someone can help with. Here’s what’s happening:
1. Not responding:
When I put the robot on the home base charging dock, for a few seconds it lights up white and spins and then it stops. When I press the "Clean" button, the robot doesn't respond. The same for all the other buttons.
2. **FIXED** Bumper is kind of blocked?
I turned the robot over and there seems to be a metal piece up and to the right of the down arrow that blocks the bumper from going in towards the robot body properly. The rest of the bumper moves, just not that part.
The wheels are not jammed and I already tried holding Clean for 30 seconds.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!!
Put robot to base
The light starts swirling around 30-60 seconds or more up to 2 minutes (software is loading up )
So , after the light stops swirling around robot enters into charging state mode. Sometimes there is no lights , looks like dead , and if battery is dead it will not work to press clean button
But you can pair with the app IOS or Android
After you install the app , you get more info about the robot state or errors | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
About Jeff “Skunk” Baxter
Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, a multi-Grammy winner and member of the Rock & Roll Hall Fame first reached a wide rock audience in 1968 as a member of Boston’s psychedelic rock band Ultimate Spinach.
Baxter eventually moved to Los Angeles, finding work as a session guitarist including guitar on such classics as “9 to 5”, Donna Summers’ “Hot Stuff,” and producing the #1 song “At This Moment” for Billy and the Beaters. In 1972 he became a founding member of Steely Dan. He played on their first three albums, Can’t Buy a Thrill in 1972, Countdown to Ecstasy in 1973, and Pretzel Logic in 1974. He contributed the guitar fills and signature solo heard on the group’s highest charting hit “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number.”
While finishing work on Pretzel Logic, Baxter became aware of Becker and Fagen’s intentions to retire Steely Dan from touring and work almost exclusively with session players. With that in mind, Baxter left the band in 1974 and immediately was asked to join The Doobie Brothers. After bringing vocalist Michael McDonald into The Doobies, Baxter’s jazzier guitar style combined with McDonald’s vocal and songwriting contributions marked a new direction for the band. They went on to continued success with the albums Takin’ It to the Streets, Livin’ on the Fault Line, and particularly 1978’s Minute by Minute, which spent five weeks as the #1 album in the U.S. and spawned several hit singles.
The latest phase of Skunk came with his long-time collaboration with keyboardist and producer CJ Vanston. A wide range of songs were written and recorded representing the diversity of genres of music for which Skunk is known. They then decided that adding vocals, both from Baxter and guest artists would provide even more depth to the project. The result was signing with BMG and the release of “Speed of Heat” in June of 2022. Skunk Baxter hasn’t stopped touring since. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

To some, social distancing means spending more time indoors. But to you, social distancing is a way of life, because you are a hunter. Spending days away from civilization, miles from the nearest city is like second nature to you. The solitude of the wilderness, following trails deeper and deeper into the forest is a welcomed past time for you. Social distancing is what forges a hunter.

1. How would you describe your experience in Rome?
It was a life changing experience during which I had the opportunity to challenge my mind. It allowed me to break out of and free myself from the paradigms that I used to have regarding culture, business, and, most importantly, myself.
2. What was your favourite food in Rome?
My perfect meal was a caprese salad, pasta amatriciana, a glass of red wine, and a cannolo! I still dream about it some days!
3. What are some of the positive experiences that you have had as an international student?
Having the opportunity to become part of an international network of people that share my interests and with whom I will be able to develop interesting projects with the same international projection. And also one of the best things is that they have also become some of my new friends!
4. What was the hardest adjustment you had to make when you moved abroad?
To understand the paperwork required by the government and to accept that it is part of an international experience, no matter the country.
5. Did you meet anyone who changed your experience or impacted your stay in Rome?
Fortunately, I found more than one person that impacted this experience. From my professor to my roommates, everyone taught me incredible lessons that made me grow both personally and professionally.
6. What were some of the things that you enjoyed the most about studying at the Rome Business School?
The diversification of nationalities that enriched the whole experience and the balance between live lectures and company visits, which enabled me to practice in order to develop in the professional field. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

MACHINED EVA FRONT / REAR PAD
BOTTOM MOUNT FIN ATTACHMENT - TOOL INCLUDED
+Handmade by Robots
A fast, responsive style of board where the rider’s position is centered with a more balanced body. These sharp rail, thin profiled boards react quicker for people that don’t have a lot of time to waste. Preferred by surfers that like to have more feel with their board itself – and not just on fins. They can break free easier for 360’s on the water or shuvits off it. A more forgiving style of board when riding behind a steep wake because you typically ride this style of board at a shorter length (making it less likely to dunk the nose). Because of how speedy these models are – you can get away with a shorter, lightweight length.
For riders that like a little bit of everything. They want to generate power through their bottom turns, but still be able to leave the waterline quickly and easily. A growing style of wakesurfing designed for bigger airs leaving the wake but can still lock in for a proper cutback.
Toss some buckets with some smooth, linked turns inspired by your favorite saltwater surfer. Traditional surf shapes have a thicker profile and a mellower rail/bevel allowing a rider to pivot a turn more from their back foot and are best ridden with either a deeper fin, or multiple fins. Riders usually apply more pressure on the back half of the board and generate more force through a turn. Still very capable of doing tricks on and off the water – just with a fluid like feel. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Dr. Rosanne Welch (https://rosannewelch.com) speaks on “Feminism in the Whoniverse” of Doctor Who, the BBC television program now in its 50th year. She reviews each of the Doctor’s female companions and speaks on how they are represented in the program and how they represented the women of their respective periods.
Now feminism had waves kind of like a very good surf. The first wave was when everybody learned how to vote — how to let women vote. That was a big deal — 1920 — we’re tap dancing. We’re voting. We’re all good now. And then they went, “Ok, everything’s perfect, right? Once you can vote it’s all perfect?” And every other group learned that is not really true. It takes a little more time. You have to ask for a few more things. So, by the time we get to when Doctor Who first showed up in the early 1960’s, we’re taking about the second wave and women are now thinking, “Wait a minute. I need some equality of culture. I need to be able to do the things I would like to do and not have someone tell me I can’t have that job because only boys have that job.” No, what’s going on is the whole Women’s Liberation movement is happening right now. In a lot of countries, I’m thinking England, but also America, right, but also, Ah Hah, the biggest invention for women in a long time. Oh my god, a person could decide if they were going to get pregnant. That was a very huge step in the whole female world. It didn’t mean you had to quit having sex, because sec is s good thing. We like that. We juts didn’t always want to have a baby every 2 years. Which, if you were married or 20 years, you probably had 15 kids.
Feminism in the Whoniverse was presented at the Cal Poly Pomona University Library where Dr. Welch teaches in the IGE (Interdisciplinary General Education) program.
This is the 4th talk on various aspects of Doctor Who that Dr. Welch has presented. You can find these talks using the links below.

Traditional Metal Braces Enid
Enid Metal braces are the most common braces type used because they are cost-effective and efficient. Today’s braces are more comfortable than ever before and sleeker than ever before. They are made of high-grade stainless steel and can be customized by adding elastics in your favorite colors.
Self-Ligating Braces Enid
Enid Self-ligating brackets consist of brackets and wires, just like Enid Braces. However, self-ligating brackets use a slide door mechanism rather than elastics to hold the archwire in place. This results in less friction when moving the teeth, which means a more comfortable experience for you. And without the elastics to change out, you’ll be in our office less frequently.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces Enid
Enid Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.
Clear Aligners Enid
Enid Clear aligners are clear, removable acrylic trays that fit comfortably over your teeth to guide them to their new locations. Patients love them because they are removable, making brushing and flossing easy. That also means you can eat and drink whatever you want during treatment because you’ll remove the aligners. They offer a more comfortable experience because there is no metal to irritate the mouth.
What Are Braces?
Enid Braces are orthodontic appliances that help realign your teeth and jaws at any age. Braces is an umbrella term that encompasses several types of braces using various materials and designs that help offer patients the liberty of customizing their treatment.
What’s The Best Age to Get Braces?
Your teenage years are ideal for orthodontic treatment because the dental health specialist can leverage natural movements related to your dental development. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) suggests parents bring their children to an orthodontist as early as age 7 to receive help if needed.
When Should I Get Braces?
This will greatly depend on your individual circumstances. In general, the sooner, the better. However, please note that you should consult with an orthodontist about what works best for your case.
What to Expect With Braces
You should expect a couple of side effects related to your tooth movement. Some patients will suffer some discomfort, and others might be eager to see notable changes that may take a bit longer than they’d wish. Enid Braces will realign your teeth given sufficient time and help improve your dental health in the process.
How Much Do Braces Cost?
On average, Enid Braces can cost anywhere between $3,000 and $7,000. However, please note that your treatment cost will vary greatly from other patients depending on many factors. The only way to get a better estimate is to consult with a board-certified orthodontist.
What Happens After Your Braces Are Removed?
Two things will happen. First, you will get to enjoy the beautiful and healthy smile you wanted from the start. Second, you will start the retention phase of your orthodontic treatment. Please wear your retainers as indicated by your orthodontist to avoid losing your hard-earned results.
How Do I Schedule My Next Appointment?
Please get in touch with our office. Give us a call or click on the button to fill out a form set up your next appointment and start your orthodontic journey toward a beautiful and healthy smile. We hope to see you soon. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Vice-Chancellor’s Diversity and Inclusion Awards recognise students and staff who have made an outstanding contribution to supporting diversity and fostering inclusion at Monash. Recipients of these awards have gone above and beyond to further inclusion, connection and belonging for people from disadvantaged or marginalised groups.
The team behind the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI)Sensory Scientific Exhibit were recognised at the recent 2018 Vice Chancellor’s Diversity and Inclusion Awards.
The Sensory Science Exhibition was initially put together in May this year for a special event for members of the blind and low vision community, giving them the opportunity to explore the world of infection and immunity through a specifically designed, interactive exhibit.
Including a range of accessible activities and tactile displays, the exhibit highlights research areas such as vaccination, the evolution of flu viruses, and the process of how our bodies recognise pathogens.
There are plans to share the exhibit across Australia, starting by assisting the University of New South Wales in setting up their own sensory exhibit.
The team was also recognised for their work experience program, aimed at providing members of the blind and low vision community with an opportunity to get hands-on experience in a biomedical research laboratory. This program began when Professor Rossjohn put out the call for anyone interested in completing work experience in his lab at the inaugural Sensory Scientific Exhibition and Discovery Day earlier in the year. They have had one student complete the program, with more interested in doing so in 2019.
Congratulations to all Monash BDI recipients of the award:
- Professor Jamie Rossjohn
- Dr Gabrielle Watson
- Professor Nicole La Gruta
- Professor Ramesh Rajan
- Dr Erica Tandori
- Sabrina Constantin
This initiative exemplifies best practice both in developing teaching programs and experiential learning, and engaging with the wider community to encourage participation by a diverse range of people. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
