Forwards and Substitutions Mo Salah – 8 Salah continued his reign as one of the most reliable finishers in the world, scoring the go-ahead goal off the rebound. He had a rare miss a bit later in the first half, pulling a shot wide after a beautiful play-in by Ox. Salah was subbed off in the middle of the second half. Diogo Jota – 8 Jota was able to equalize for Liverpool on a controversial play with a Newcastle player down injured in the box. Benefitting from the “play to the whistle” mindset, Jota stayed aggressive, firing a header at Dubravka before forcing the rebound to the back of the net for his ninth goal of the Premier League season. The score kept Liverpool’s time trailing in front of a home crowd short, catapulting the momentum back to the Reds’ favor. Sadio Mane – 6 Mane looked a bit unsure on the ball throughout the match, being dispossessed five times. That being said, his high cross into Jota led to the equalizing goal, and his shot at Dubravka created the rebound for Salah to cash in on. Despite these examples of circumstantially helping, Mane has now failed to register a goal or assist in seven straight games across all competitions. Roberto Firmino (for Salah, 74′) – 7 Great to see Bobby back on the pitch after the Brazilian missed the last eight games due to a hamstring injury. There was not too much involvement for Firmino, but he registered an assist on the bullet goal from Alexander-Arnold. Naby Keita (for Oxlade-Chamberlain, 74′) – 8 Keita came onto the pitch with a buzz about him in the middle of the second half, finding pockets of space where Ox had struggled to. He upped the tempo right when the Reds needed it, firing off three shots including one on target. James Milner (90′) – N/A It’s just always nice to see Milly.

OCTOBER 15, 2020 -- As COVID-19 cases increase in our city, Regina Transit is reminding all passengers to continue to wear masks on public transit. Starting on October 19, 2020, Regina Transit will be denying service to elementary and high school students who do not wear a mask or alternative face coverings while boarding and riding the bus. If students do not have a mask, it is recommended that they source one to avoid being denied rides in the future. Passengers can wear non-medical face masks, including alternative coverings like a bandana in two layers wrapped around the mouth and nose. It is important to note that mask exemptions are still in place for children under five years of age, persons with medical conditions, or those who cannot place or remove masks without assistance. Mask use should be combined with other protective measures, such as physical distancing and proper hygiene, including hand washing, not touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands, and, of course, staying home if you are not feeling well.

The Safety Banners USA web store was developed by SafetyBanners Org, from Memphis Banners, the entity that owns all of our web stores. We are based in Memphis Tennessee, the heart & Soul of Rock & Roll. Take a look at SafetyBanners.Org For technical design reasons, the SafetyBanners Org web store does not allow Google or Bing to index each individual product. We loved the design, but technology has advanced significantly in 15 years and we needed a new platform that would allow proper individual product indexing by Google and Bing. Thus, Safety Banners USA was born to solve the product indexing problem. We are constantly adding new products to our Safety Banners USA store so check back often. Memphis Banners was founded in 1995 by Bob Metz from a spare bedroom. He was producing retail point of purchase displays and Banners for large retail chains back then such as KFC, Blockbuster, Sherwin Williams, Hunter Fan, Circuit City, Rite Aid, Piggly Wiggley and several other large chains. He grew to be the largest point of purchase display manufacturer in Middle America. In 2006 he discovered the Industrial Safety Banners market and developed his first safety banners web store - Banners4Safety.com. For marketing reasons, we then developed SafetyBanners.Org to replace Banners4Safety.com several years later. Today, between both stores, (Safety Banners USA and SafetyBanners.Org) we are the largest designer and producer of safety banners for American industry and our Military bases worldwide. But Bob is just an old long time salesman at heart and loves to talk to his customers, just like he did back in the 1990's. He always said his customers bought from him because they could trust him to do EXACTLY what he said he would do. He always hoped they liked him too. And they all did. Thank You for the opportunity to be of service to you and your company.

It’s just you You’re the dream which I want to exist in reality, You’re someone for whom my heart thrives every moment now. The sweet scent of your presence enchants the soul within me. I’ve donated my affections already, now what is left is just the formality, Of embracing you in my arms. Reality’s beauty unfolds everytime I cast a gaze, And drown in emotions of utter amaze. “I love you is just mere words, what I have in my heart is true undefined affection”. But still I’ll end with the cutest expression ” I love you to the moon and back”.

I remember the day I turned 56. Two days later I would be officially older than my sister was when she passed away. More profound in my and my siblings markings was a year and half later when my younger sister turned 56 and two days, because now, J would forever be the youngest. I know from my own pain and what I witnessed from my husband after losing his younger sister, losing a brother or sister, especially unexpectedly, is so hard. I've forgotten, or least not really understood, what my husbands sister and brother have been experiencing the last 15 months. Maybe I was expecting something different than what I witnessed. Maybe I'm so focused on my own grief and that of my children, I don't see. I can never know what they feel in their hearts and minds. Today my sister-in-law is one day older than my husband was when he passed away, making her now the oldest sibling at 61 years, five months and nine days. I don't know why day markers mean anything to me, but I have a feeling she noted this date too. I popped a card in the mail just to let her know I was thinking about her and wishing her peace and comfort. It's her son that is so sick right now, was improving even if slow. However, now has developed another issue, and a new round of figuring out the best treatment. He's also the same age as their sister was when she had the accident and spent five months hospitalized before passing away, so sad deja vu of days upon days at the hospital. I don't know why some families seem to get hit repeatedly with stressful life events, or maybe it just feels like it when it's your family. I'm thankful right now my kids are all healthy, and hoping for strength and healing for my nephew.

NOL Seminar with Eric Pacuit The Nordic Online Logic Seminar is organised monthly over Zoom, with expository talks on topics of interest for the broader logic community. The seminar is open for professional or aspiring logicians and logic aficionados worldwide. If you wish to receive the Zoom ID and password for it, as well as further announcements, please subscribe here: Date Monday, 26 August 2024 at 16:00 CEST (UTC+2) on Zoom Speaker Eric Pacuit (Professor of Logic, University of Maryland) Title From paradox to principles: Splitting cycles and breaking ties Voting on two alternatives appears unproblematic compared to voting on three (or more). When faced with only two alternatives, many arguments show that Majority Rule distinguishes itself from all other ways of making a group decision. For three or more alternatives, one faces the so-called “Paradox of Voting”: there may be elections with a majority cycle in which a majority of voters prefer A to B, a majority of voters prefer B to C, and a majority of voters prefer C to A. In this talk, I will explain a series of results that axiomatically characterize rules for resolving majority cycles in elections. These rules avoid the “Strong No Show Paradox” by responding properly to the addition of new voters to an election and mitigate spoiler effects by responding properly to the addition of new candidates to an election. This talk is based on joint work with Wes Holliday.

« Coping with Hard Times: Death as an Option | Main | Designer Genes for Special Bacterial Lifestyles » by Welkin Johnson Do the seven strategies in the Baltimore scheme of viral replication represent all possible ways of being a virus? Have other strategies fallen by the evolutionary wayside? Posted on April 28, 2011 at 10:00 AM in Talmudic Questions, Teachers Corner | Permalink The original scheme proposed by Baltimore in the 1970s had only six genomes - the gapped, dsDNA genome of hepadnaviruses had not yet been discovered. So if you had asked this question then, the answer would have been that there are no dsDNA genomes with reverse transcription in their life cycle. Today we can suggest that an eighth class, ssDNA genomes with a reverse transcription step, have not yet been discovered. There could also be a ninth class - ambisense RNA genomes (which indeed exist). There could also be ssRNA(-) sense viruses with a reverse transcriptase, and dsRNA viruses with a reverse transcriptase - for 11 genome classes. Wow! It look like you know something about viruses!!

The European Commission said today that it will not take emergency measures this winter to tackle the tragic death of dolphins caught in fishing nets. Last winter, around 1200 cetaceans – almost all identified as common dolphins – washed ashore along the French Atlantic coast. 85 percent of these dolphins died after being caught up in fishing nets. The entanglement of unwanted animals caught in nets is referred to as ‘bycatch’ and it is considered the greatest threat to cetaceans in European waters, with many thousands dying each year. In July 2019, 22 environmental NGOs formally requested that the European Commission take legal action against 15 EU governments for failing in their legal duty to protect dolphins, porpoises and whales from bycatch. The group also called for emergency protection measures to be introduced for Baltic harbour porpoises and North East Atlantic common dolphins to immediately prevent further deaths in these populations under imminent threat due to fishing activities. Such emergency measures, which have a strong legal basis and are supported by comprehensive scientific evidence, should include: - temporarily or permanently closing fisheries in key areas where bycatch is a problem, - implementing year round on board observations and electronic monitoring, - requiring mandatory use of acoustic devices that act as a deterrent to Baltic porpoises, But at an event on bycatch today, the Commission’s DG MARE postponed its decision on emergency measures, citing a need for scientific advice that will not be available until spring 2020. In the meantime, thousands of cetaceans are at risk of dying from bycatch this winter. ClientEarth Marine Habitat lawyer John Condon said: “While it is good to see that the European Commission is taking steps to consider emergency measures, this delayed action to rescue dolphins, porpoises and whales from fishing nets could have disastrous consequences this winter, just like last year. The Commission should immediately adopt emergency measures – which it is empowered to do in these conditions by the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy.” Alice Belin, Senior Marine Policy Officer at Seas At Risk said: “Cetaceans play a very important role in the marine ecosystem. According to EU law marine biodiversity loss should be stopped and reversed by 2020. But because of delayed action by EU countries, the winter of 2019-2020 will probably bear witness of the deaths of thousands of animals in fishing nets.” Sarah Dolman from the marine charity Whale and Dolphin Conservation says: We have known about poor implementation of EU laws to protect dolphins, porpoises and whales from bycatch in European waters for decades. We face a biodiversity crisis, bycatch kills more dolphins and porpoises than any other pressure, and so we need the European Commission to act now to compel Member States to halt these needless deaths. The event on tackling the bycatch of cetaceans was hosted by Rory Palmer MEP, chaired by Jackie Jones MEP, and organised by ClientEarth, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, Seas At Risk, Coalition Clean Baltic (CCB) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). The Commission’s announcement follows on from a written response to a question submitted by Mr Palmer MEP Posted on: 5 December 2019

When is the best time to sell your home? Whether you are looking to downsize, upgrade, relocate or simply want a lifestyle change, the process of selling your home can be a positive one. As Realtors®, our goal is to help you sell your home with little hassle, as quickly as possible and for top dollar. Before taking the step forward in terms of placing that “Just Listed” sign on your property, we recommend taking time to assess the reasons why you want to move. - The kids have moved out and you are ready to downgrade? - Maybe you want to start a family and need more room? - Have you changed employment and want to move closer to the office? - Perhaps, you simply want to change your lifestyle whether to embrace a more urban atmosphere or a suburb. - or a factor of various other reasons… By discovering your motives for selling, I will be able to assist you better when it comes to searching for a new home and figuring out what you ultimately require in the outcome of selling your existing home. When is the best time to sell your home? While more houses typically go on the market in the spring, this does not necessarily indicate that this is the only good time to list your home. Ultimately, there are always buyers and sellers so it really comes down to your situation and what works best for you. While the winter months are typically assumed to be the worst time to sell, there are many occasions that indicate otherwise. For example if a person sells their home in the fall, they will need a new home anywhere from the next month to 3 months away. This means that this person may have less inventory to choose from and therefore your property may stand out more, resulting in an increased demand and higher selling price. Alternatively, in the spring there may be more inventory and also more buyers. If the balance of buyers versus inventory in both spring and winter is on par, the pricing will remain the same or similar. Keep in mind, your time is the right time. In most cases, the best time to sell is likely when your existing home no longer meets your needs. Economic factors are an important factor When selling, you may want to also take into consideration economic factors. Are interest rates low or high and how do these interest rates compare to your current mortgage? If rates are higher, your monthly payment amounts may be higher than your existing ones upon the purchase of another home. If rates are lower, it could be a great time to trade up to a more expensive home without enduring a significant increase in your monthly financial obligations. Market trends may also play a part depending on whether it is a buyers or sellers market. Typically, in a buyers’ market, there are more homes for sale then there are actual buyers. In a buyer’s market, homes will tend to stay on the market longer and prices may stabilize or decrease. Just because it is a buyer’s market though, does not mean that your home will not sell, take longer to sell and or be sold at significantly decreased prices. By making sure that your home is priced at a fair value and is show ready, your home should still sell in a decent amount of time and at a great price. In comparison, a seller’s market tends to have more buyers then houses available to be purchased. A sellers market typically translates into quicker sales and higher selling prices with buyers having to make decisions at a quicker pace and being prepared for potential multiple offer scenarios. Other than a buyers and sellers market, many times there is what is considered a balanced market. A balanced market occurs when the number of homes of the market is approximately equal to the quantity of buyers looking for new homes. Regardless of the market, I am able to provide you with the most knowledge and offer resources in order to make the most of your move. Through comprehensive training in the real estate market, I can take advantage of all the factors discussed above to help assess your situation and determine the right buying or selling time that would work best for you personally.

See the Strawberry Moon In 2021, the Moon will appear opposite the Sun and completely illuminated on June 24, 2021, at 18:40 UTC, which is 1:40 p.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT). The Moon will be totally illuminated at this time (UTC-5). This full Moon is particularly noteworthy for two reasons: it is a Strawberry Moon, and it is also the last supermoon of the year! The Strawberry Moon occurs on the last full Moon of spring or the first full Moon of summer, depending on when you are reading this. From late June through early July, the Moon often takes up a lower position in the sky, allowing it to shine through more of our atmosphere. As a result, our Moon can occasionally have a pinkish tinge to its appearance. Surprisingly, the term is most likely derived from the time of year during which the flower blooms rather than the distinctive pink hue. Strawberry Moon was the name given by some Native American tribes to this full moon since it signified the time of year when growing strawberries and other fruits should be harvested. It is called a supermoon when a full Moon occurs at the same time as the Moon’s closest approach to the Earth in its elliptical orbit, which is known as perigee. During every 27-day orbit around the Earth, the Moon reaches both its closest point, known as perigee, which is approximately 226,000 miles from Earth, and its furthest point, known as apogee, which is approximately 251,000 miles from Earth. In spite of the fact that supermoon is not an official astronomical term, it is commonly used to describe a full Moon that is near 90 percent of its perigee point. It looks that the Moon is larger and brighter than usual during this phase. A new Moon may also be referred to as a supermoon. We do not normally see a new Moon because it is between the Earth and the Sun and, as a result, does not receive any illumination. If you’re outside during the Super Strawberry Moon’s moonrise, which occurs approximately 20 minutes after sunset local time, you’ll have a better chance of catching a glimpse of the moon. 2021 will see the last of four supermoons, the Super Strawberry Moon being the last of these. It is only three to four times a year that supermoons occur, and they always come in a sequence. The last three supermoons happened on May 26, April 27, and March 28 of the current year, respectively. Watchers of the sky, please take time to take in the sunset in the west. If you glance toward the east, you may notice the slight pink colour of our Super Strawberry Moon.

Construction activity has recently shown signs of slowing down, prompting the president of the country to examine the underlying reasons. Despite the president’s observations, official statistics have yet to fully reflect this trend. Statistical analysis of construction activity for the first quarter of this year reveals a 22% increase in the value of completed construction works in current prices, with a growth of 18.3% in constant prices compared to the same period in 2023. While there has been a notable increase in building values, the issuance of building permits tells a different story. In March 2024, 2,293 building permits were issued, marking an 11% decrease from the previous year. This decline in permits signals a potential slowdown in future construction projects. Milojko Arsić, a professor at the Faculty of Economics in Belgrade, suggests that this slowdown may be attributed to various factors, including reduced demand for high-rise construction, particularly in the housing sector. High interest rates and soaring real estate prices have deterred individuals from taking out loans, leading to a decrease in construction activity. Additionally, delays in obtaining building permits and uncertainties in the real estate market have further compounded the situation. Arsić emphasizes the importance of addressing the lack of affordable housing, advocating for the development of more accessible housing projects similar to the “Stepa Stepanović” settlement. While investments in low-rise construction remain relatively stable, there are concerns about the future trajectory of construction activity. Arsić highlights the need for policy measures to stimulate investment in affordable housing and streamline the construction permit process. Despite challenges, Arsić remains cautiously optimistic, suggesting that a gradual reduction in interest rates may help alleviate some of the pressures on the construction sector. However, he cautions that significant improvements may not materialize until next year, given the complex nature of construction financing and market dynamics. In conclusion, while the construction sector has shown resilience in certain areas, such as low-rise construction, there are clear indicators of a potential slowdown in overall construction activity. Addressing issues related to housing affordability and improving the efficiency of the permit process are crucial steps in revitalizing the construction sector and driving sustainable economic growth.

San Francisco’s annual budget deficit could climb to $1.4 billion by 2027 if costs continue to outstrip revenue flowing into city coffers, according to forecasts presented by city budget experts on Wednesday. The mounting gap comes as high office vacancy rates drive down key income sources for the city, including property transfer taxes and business taxes. Meanwhile, salary and benefit costs are set to skyrocket in coming years, according to city projections. “This is not going to be a positive presentation today. We’re in a tough spot,” said Anna Duning, Mayor London Breed’s budget director, before laying out the soaring deficit forecast. The fiscal year beginning this July will bring a $245 million deficit, with a $555 million shortage expected the following year. If the city doesn’t take corrective action, according to forecasts, that shortage will grow to a nearly $1.4 billion deficit by 2027. The growing deficit has grim implications for city services. After proposing record spending in 2023, Mayor London Breed asked department heads in December to plan for budget cuts of 10%. Meanwhile, her office has told departments to press pause on hiring new full-time employees outside of key staffing areas related to public safety and essential operations, a move that may exacerbate already-severe staffing shortages across local government. Saving money on staffing may prove complex, however, as contracts for more than 25,000 public workers are set to expire June 30. Labor organizers are ramping up for a tough fight over the contract negotiations. They want the city to preserve services and address staffing shortages despite the bleak budget outlook, according to Jennie Smith-Camejo, a spokesperson for Service Employees International Union Local 1021. The union coalition staged a rally in front of City Hall Wednesday, setting the stage for a political showdown that could reshape the closely watched 2024 mayoral race. Why Such a Large Deficit? Salaries and benefits are set to climb nearly $600 million in the next four fiscal years, more than any other cost for the city, according to the Mayor’s Office. One significant factor driving that increase is health care costs for employees, which spiked nearly 10% this year. Meanwhile, the bottom has fallen out on key revenue sources the city has relied on in the past. Over the past five years, estimates show that revenues from business, sales, hotel, parking and real estate transfer taxes have dropped by roughly 20%. For example, each time a building in San Francisco is sold, the city takes a cut in the form of a transfer tax. During the booming 2010s, that tax regularly pulled over $500 million into city coffers each year. But after Covid reshaped Downtown, San Francisco’s commercial property market cooled dramatically and transfer taxes dropped below $200 million in the last fiscal year, logging the lowest total since 2011, according to the Mayor’s Office. Making matters worse, the hospitality industry’s bounce back post-pandemic has plateaued well below previous rates, according to the Mayor’s Office, leaving the question open as to when, if ever, the money tourists brought into the city will bounce all the way back. At the Wednesday meeting, Supervisor Connie Chan questioned whether the city’s failure to significantly grow revenue could signal that the mayor’s strategy of focusing on revitalizing Downtown by attracting major events and promising tax exemptions for new businesses hasn’t worked. But Duning preached patience. “What we saw during the pandemic was a seismic shift in the economic foundation of this city,” Duning said. Any changes the San Francisco makes now will take time to bear fruit, she added. On that point Chan agreed, emphasizing the high stakes for this year’s budget process. “The decisions we make today, in this fiscal year and in the next fiscal year, is actually really critical,” Chan said.

Battering and breading enhances the consumer satisfaction by improving the nutritional value, organoleptic characteristics and appearance of the products. Mostly this includes seven major steps. - Portioning / forming A perfectly portioned product is the right starting point. Mechanically deboned fish meat is formed to different shapes and sizes after mixing with ingredients, if needed. The product should keep its consistency with proper weight and shape. - Predusting Predusting is usually done with very fine raw flour type material or dry batter itself, sprinkled on the surface of food substrate before coating. This helps to reduce the moisture on the surface of the product so that the batter can adhere uniformly. Flavourings such as salt and spices can be added in minimum amounts. - Battering The predusted portions are applied with wet batter and excess batter can be blown off by a current of air. The batter mix helps in governing the amount of bread to be picked up and it contributes to flavour of the final product. - Breading Normally the battered fish portions are dropped in to dried bread crumbs and are turned over to ensure complete coating with bread crumbs. A fine layer or coarse layer of bread crumps will contribute to structure and tastiness of the product. - Pre-frying/ flash frying is the process of giving a shallow fry so as to coagulate batter over the product and lock the flavour and juices to the product. - Freezing The fish portions are air cooled before freezing. This helps the coating temperature to drop while the batter can stabilise itself and recover from the frying shock. Freezing is done at a temperature of -10°C to -20°C in order to preserve freshness and quality of the product over longer storage periods. - Packaging and storage Proper packaging and storage is essential to prevent/retard desiccation, discolouration and rancidity in coated products.

This week is Sunshine Week, the American Society of News Editor’s national initiative to educate the public of the importance of open government and the dangers of excessive government secrecy. Washington State, controlled by Democrats for decades, would do well to pay special attention to the week’s message. As Shift has reported, secrecy defines Democrat lawmakers’ relationship with the special interest groups that deliver millions in campaign contributions to them. Jay Inslee’s secretive negotiations (read: giving away taxpayer money) with top state employee union executives who supported his gubernatorial campaign brought this unsettling reality to light. Inslee conceded a whopping $867 million for state employee pay hikes, making disproven claims (re-iterated by Democrats) to justify the unprecedented amount. The concessions would require Washington’s working families to fork over even more of their hard-earned dollars through historic tax increases Inslee proposed as part of his $39 billion budget. The results of Inslee’s secret negotiations prompted Republican lawmakers to act. They introduced a bill (Senate Bill 5329) that would have opened collective bargaining to the public by removing union exemptions from the state Open Public Meetings Act. The bill would have lifted the veil of secrecy Democrats placed over the proceeding more than 10 years ago. As Shift reported, SB 5329 sought to strengthen government transparency by curbing the ability of governors (read: Jay Inslee) to reward their top campaign donors with generous contract concessions made during secret collective bargaining negotiations. SB 5329 managed to move out of the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee despite strong opposition by Democrat lawmakers. Unfortunately, it was held up in the Rules Committee and did not reach a vote on the state Senate floor before last week’s deadline. GOP lawmakers will try again next year. Perhaps the most interesting result of SB 5329 is the reaction it generated from media outlets. State newspapers overwhelmingly sided with the GOP’s position of opening collective bargaining to the public. Many were not too pleased with the bill’s untimely death this legislative cycle. And, few bought Democrats’ excuse for opposing the bill. “Union representatives say secrecy is needed so both sides can speak frankly, but that’s a tiresome excuse used by employees in all levels of government, including lawmakers, to shield activities from public view. SB 5329 would not block either side from holding strategy sessions, but once they engage each other, it should be considered a public meeting. “Collective bargaining isn’t just a discussion. It’s an act that bears significant consequences for the very people shut out of the process. Other states open the negotiations. Washington should do so again.” SB 5329’s untimely death is regretful. But, we can rest assured that issue itself—the drive to open collective bargaining—is alive and well.

Eliminating Stress for a Life-Changing Transformation Shoutout to Tiffany for putting in the work to reach her wellness goals! She was struggling with stress, stress, and you guessed it: more stress. The number of stressors and the amount of stress you experience are completely different. Your body can feel it, your mind will feel it, YOU will feel it. Imagine this: You woke up late for work. You had to rush to get ready, had to rush to get the kids to school, had to rush to get to the office in time, didn't take a lunch break, picked up the kids from school, get home, and spend another hour or two cleaning up and cooking dinner before even getting a second to breathe. You may think that's "part of the routine", but even one fast-paced, stressful day like this can affect your body more than you realize. The amount of “stress hormone,” release is not equal to the number of stressors. Women moving out of their 20's and 30's will find that stress once made their body small, but now makes them swollen with inflammation and excess fat. The problem isn't you. The problem is the lifestyle that got you through your 20's and 30's, which is now a part of your day-to-day life. And that's hard to change. One can not simply, “not have stress.” Tiffany is a perfect example of this. Stress activity was always her go-to. When she got stressed, she didn’t eat and kept herself very busy, which truly made her body stress more. She would workout to train stress away, and without enough food that creates even more stress. To really unload stress you have to work through stress and not work around it with just doing more! Once you sign up for our program, we will help you modify your lifestyle to reduce stressors, practice stress-coping skills, and hold you accountable to make these positive changes. Oh - we'll also fix the hormonal imbalances the earlier lifestyle caused! No more inflammation, no more excess fat, no more stress. Tiffany’s transformation is because she actually eats more, works out less, focuses on stress management, and takes it one day at a time. That’s the key. Great work Tiffany!

We had the good fortune of connecting with Runnabag Luccy and we’ve shared our conversation below. Hi Runnabag, how do you think about risk? I feel like risk are how you measure the gain of a task. The higher the risk the higher the reward. But I also feel like it’s up to you to decide if the risk is worth the reward. Me viewing it as such makes it a lot easier for me to base decisions off of more than just spur of the moment emotion. Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally? Firstly all my songs are stories. If you really listen you can see the picture of the image I create in your head. My goal is to make music that helps everyone better understand each other as well as bringing us closer together that’s why I try to fit every genre and create my own called traptavism. Which is a genre that educates of the struggle in great detail. If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to? If you’re in Atlanta you’ve got to checc out curfew atl night club as well as the artisan bar and gallery. Food wise nothing beat city bbq in Decatur. Finally Stone Mountain park is a must see attraction for anyone who come to Georgia period The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to? I want to thank my ma dukes for always having my bacc and my girl for trusting me to make shit happen at all times. Without there support I probably wouldn’t be where I am today

In a shocking incident in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles, three pit bulls attacked a 77-year-old man, Jose Rodriguez, while he was walking near his home. Surveillance footage captured the terrifying moment as the dogs surrounded Rodriguez, biting his legs and causing him to scream for help. His family describes the injuries as severe, stating that “his entire leg was nearly torn apart by the dogs.” Lupita Rodriguez, Jose’s daughter, recounted the horrific details of the attack. “The dogs cornered my father and attacked him from the waist down,” she explained. “He was trying to grab the fence to stand up, hoping to get as high as possible, but the dogs pulled him down and savaged his leg.” Lupita emphasized that when the attack occurred, no one was with the dogs, and they were not leashed or supervised. After suffering multiple bites, Rodriguez was rushed to the hospital where he faces surgery for tendon and ligament damage. She voiced her concerns that if a small child or someone shorter had been in the same situation, the consequences could have been fatal, given how the dogs could target vulnerable areas like the neck. This wasn’t an isolated incident; neighbors have reported previous attacks by these dogs. Miguel Jara, another resident on the street, shared his own experience of being bitten by the same dogs. The dogs’ owner, Heidi Hernandez, expressed her sorrow over the attack but insists that her pets are not aggressive. She described one dog as an emotional support animal for her disabled brother, while the other two were pets of her late sister. Hernandez claims she and her dogs have been harassed by neighbors and alleges that Rodriguez provoked the dogs, saying he hit them, which led to their aggressive behavior. However, Rodriguez denies having attacked the dogs, stating he was only trying to fend them off during their assault. As a result of the attack, Hernandez will be responsible for covering all of Rodriguez’s medical expenses. Legal analyst Allison Triessl mentioned that this incident could potentially lead to criminal charges against Hernandez. Currently, Animal Control has taken the three dogs for assessment following the brutal attack.

In the seventh installment of ‘Rookie Roles’, we take a look at one of the Detroit Lions third-round picks, EDGE, Julian Okwara. The Detroit Lions needed to address one major issue heading into the 2020 offseason. It wasn’t a specific position, it wasn’t a head coaching change (yet), wasn’t a GM firing (yet) … they just needed to somehow find a pass-rush. While most thought it would come via a free agent signing or with their first-round pick. Instead, they rolled the dice and waited until the third-round of the draft to take their biggest swing of the offseason at a pass-rusher in EDGE/OLB, Julian Okwara out of Notre Dame. For a team that was 29th in the NFL in pressure percentage in 2019, waiting until the third-round felt more like slapping some flex-seal on the Midland dam rather than actually fixing the problem. But hindsight hints that either luck or brilliance was working for Detroit on draft night when Okwara fell to third. Okwara was projected to be a first-round pick after his eight sack and twelve and a half tackle for loss season in 2018. But a fracture to his left fibula after nine games in 2019 hurt his draft stock … and maybe saved the day for Lions general manager Bob Quinn. Before the injury, Okwara totaled nineteen tackles, seven of those for loss, and five sacks in nine games. Sometimes it’s hard to project the best role in the NFL would be for a player coming out of college … other times it’s fairly obvious. Julian Okwara falls into an obvious role as he’s great at one thing … running down the quarterback. Whether that’s with his hand in the dirt or from a stand-up position, off-ball or on-ball, defensive line or outside linebacker, during the play or after the play … ok, maybe not the last one, but you get the point. According to Pro Football Focus, Okwara had the highest pressure rate in college football the past two seasons at 19.1% … a full 1.5% higher than Ohio State standout Chase Young. It doesn’t get more natural than that. Projected Detroit Lions’ Role? The Lions 3-3-5 base defense only calls for one true down defensive end, and even that position has more gap responsibility than the majority of EDGE roles you’ll see in the NFL. The EDGE opposite of the true defensive end (Flowers) in their base in an outside linebacker (JACK) that can rush, play the gap, or drop back in coverage. At 6-4, 250lbs, Okwara a little small for a true defensive end in Matt Patricia’s defense anyway, at least this early in his career. So to me, it’s pretty clear Okwara will be part of the rotating JACK/OLBs replacing former Lion OLB/EDGE Devon Kennard’s role. Especially on passing downs.

Monaco have sent a strong message of warning to Premier League clubs that their star player Thomas Lemar will not be available in January. Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool have all been linked with the French star but Monaco are adamant that they will not be letting him go in January. Lemar has reportedly made Liverpool his preferred choice, while Arsenal and Chelsea have also been pursuing the France international. Liverpool are looking to offload striker Daniel Sturridge which would allow room for Lemar while Chelsea are desperate for attacking reinforcements with Belgian Michy Batshuayi failing to make the grade at the Blues. Monaco are adamant they will not sell him in January though. ‘The sales of important players is not on the agenda,’ said Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev. ‘We have never spoken [to Lemar] about the possibility of a January departure. ‘The team needs stability. We have re-found a positive dynamic. Now is not the time to break it.’ Monaco let several of their stars go after winning the French Ligue One last season but it appears they are not prepared to lose yet another given their disastrous season in the League and the Champions League.

Tonobok Okowa, the President of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) says he is optimistic that the rest of the Team Nigeria’s contingent aiming to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Game will qualify. He said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Friday. NAN reports that the 4 by 400 women qualified for the Olympics at the Lagos State athletics Championships, which held at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, unfortunately the men keep missing narrowly. “I believe that during the next qualifiers this weekend, the men will qualify too for the 4 by 100, this is an improvement compared to what we had at Yaba. “As long as the time keep improving, there is hope that they will get their qualification and compete at the Olympics,’’ he said. Sharing similar view is Solomon Ogba, a former president of the AFN, who told NAN that he was impressed with the athletes’ efforts towards ensuring that they qualify. “If you were at Yaba, you will know that this was an improvement of what we saw then, and with this result I strongly believe that we will see them do better on Saturday. “They are eager to qualify, and I strongly believe that they will, if they improve on what we saw here today,’’ Ogba said. NAN reports that at the semi-final, the 4 by 100 relay men’s team finished at 38.59 and they finished 39. 39 at AFN organised meet at the Yaba College of Technology.

By incorporating this practice, you ensure that you return to your responsibilities feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the challenges ahead. 2. Stress Relief and Muscle Relaxation Traveling for work often involves long flights or drives, which can lead to sore muscles and discomfort. Sitting for extended periods in cramped spaces or standing for hours during events can result in tension in your back, neck, and shoulders. A business trip massage can provide immediate relief by targeting areas of your body that are most affected by travel. Massage therapy is known for its ability to reduce stress and alleviate muscle soreness. Through various techniques like deep tissue massage or Swedish massage, professional therapists can help release tension in your muscles, improving blood circulation and promoting relaxation. This relief not only helps your body feel better but also improves your mental clarity, so you can stay focused and energized during your business activities. 3. Increased Productivity and Focus In the fast-paced environment of business travel, it’s easy to become fatigued or mentally exhausted. The continuous juggling of meetings, emails, and time zone changes can take a toll on your concentration. However, incorporating a massage into your routine can give you a much-needed boost. A well-timed massage can reduce fatigue and enhance your cognitive function, ensuring that you stay sharp and productive throughout your business trip. Studies have shown that regular massages improve blood flow and reduce cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress. When you’re relaxed, your body is better equipped to focus and perform at its best. Whether you’re preparing for a big presentation or meeting with potential clients, the relaxation and mental clarity gained from a massage can make a significant difference in your performance. 4. A Personal Touch to Client Relations While business trips are often about networking and building professional relationships, a massage can also offer an opportunity to personalize the experience for your clients or colleagues. Instead of the usual business dinners or drinks, consider scheduling a group massage session or offering this service to your business partners as a way to show appreciation. This thoughtful gesture can enhance your relationships and create lasting impressions. A business trip massage can also be an excellent icebreaker during a less formal business event. It provides a chance to connect with clients and colleagues in a more relaxed, friendly setting, which can lead to more productive and genuine conversations. Whether it’s at the hotel spa or in a private setting, the added value of offering a massage can help foster stronger bonds and enhance your overall networking experience.출장안마

While I was at the beach here in Mauritius, Live 9.5 dropped – a free update for all users. There are plenty of articles on all the new features in Live 9.5, so I won’t rehash them here. Instead I want to focus on Push. The new and the old, because there’s plenty of news on this alone. From today you can buy Push 2 which was deveoped by Ableton alone. Without help from Akai like with Push 1. It’s EUR 699, USD 799, or GBP 499. These new key features are included: - high-resolution RGB display - better tactile feedback of pads and buttons - full plug-in support (AU/VST) - full integration with the new sampling capabilities of the overhauled Simpler in Live 9.5 Ableton Push in Action Ableton Push 2 Tutorials (22 videos) Check out the hands-on video by Create Digital Music And don’t forget to read Peter Kirn’s extensive review of Push 2. He was lucky enough to get a unit to test beforehand. He also mused about the features you get as Push 1 user or even when you’ve got none in this article. Ableton Push 2: First Look by Ski Oakenfull for Point Blank Try Before Buying Curious to see if it’s worth getting Push 2? You can try it out at one of the Ableton User Group events happening all over the world in November. Trade 1 for 2, Save 30% and Do Some Good If you already have Push 1, but now would rather be the proud owner of Push 2, there’s some good news for you. You can trade in your model, save up to 30% depending on the condition and do some good. How? Returned units will be refurbished and given for free to music education projects for kids and teenagers, alongside versions of Live, of course. You don’t have to decide right away. The offer only ends on May 1st 2016 and is available for lots of countries (although not all). Most of the features are available for Push 1 as well. Apart from the ones that rely on the improved hardware, of course. This is not meant to change any time soon either. New features available for Push 1 - It is now possible to load VST and AU plugins. Hotswapping plugins with Push enables browsing the plugin’s presets (AU only). - Samples can be browsed from Push (will be instantiated in the new Simpler). - It is possible to preview sounds from the Push browser. - In Drum Racks, pads can now be duplicated. - Scales settings are now saved in Sets. - Clip length can be adjusted with a resolution down to 1/16th. - When pressing Fixed Length during a recording, the last portion of the recording will be looped of the specified length. - Fixed a bug which would cause the Clip selector in the step sequencer to be displayed after deleting a Clip. Push 1 comes with some limitations when working with the new Simpler though. Here’s a tip from Ableton how to work around this. What do you think of Push 2? Are you going to get one or even trade it?

Ghana under 20 women’s national team has successfully earned their sixth consecutive qualification to the FIFA U20 Women's World Cup to be held in Costa Rica after defeating Ethiopia 5-1 on aggregate. Ghana’s Black Princesses made their first appearance in 2010 in Germany, and have gone ahead to participate in the subsequent five tournaments (2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018) but they have never gone pass the group stages of the tournament. Head coach of the team, Ben Fokuo praised his players for putting up a great performance to earn the nation its sixth qualification and revealed their target of qualifying from the group stages in the tournament. “The girls did well, although we didn't won by the margin we wanted but they did play according to instructions. We won 3:0 in Ethiopia and wanted scoring more here, but it didn't happen. Our target now is to break the jinx of not going past the group stage at the World Cup. Since we've qualified, we will strengthen areas that we are weak because Africa's football can't be likened to the Women's World Cup, so we must work on ourselves before we get there." Sixteen (16) teams will qualify for the final tournament including host, Costa Rica, with two from Africa. Nigeria is the most successful African team. They have qualified for all the previous nine editions of the tournament. They were runners-up in 2010 and 2014 but the overall, the most successful teams are the United of America and Germany with three titles apiece. AYISHATU ZAKARIA ALI

It’s official. Google is rolling out new mobile-friendly labels in its search listings. In other words: Mobile SEO is now a requirement for mobile commerce and anyone who hasn’t made an effort to get on Google’s mobile nice list may well find a few lumps of coal from Google in their m-commerce stockings this holiday season. The timing of the news is not coincidental. For those of you who thought you’d put off those pesky mobile optimization efforts until after the holidays, think again. Google has been working to improve the mobile searcher experience for over a year, and mobile search figures to play a bigger role than ever for shoppers this holiday season. The Gist of Today’s News Essentially, this latest update means Google will give a virtual gold star to mobile-optimized sites and potentially a visual slap on the wrist to those that serve mobile users content that requires pinching-and-zooming, horizontal scrolling, or incompatible software (like Flash). Google also indicates they’ll use these labels to start rewarding mobile-friendly sites with higher mobile search rankings (meaning more mobile commerce) starting in the 2014 holiday shopping season. One area of concern for retailers or others that use mdot pages and mobile redirects: if we consider this new mobile friendliness requirement alongside existing Google policy that punishes irrelevant redirects, we are left to conclude that it’s no longer good enough to send mobile users to a relevant desktop page when a mobile version doesn’t exist (in spite of what Google’s documentation says on this matter). Avoiding mobile downgrades now and in the future requires a relevant -AND- mobile-friendly page, which is what makes this news so significant, especially with the holiday shopping season right around the corner. To sum up, ignoring this change could have adverse effects on your holiday revenue. As we found in the 2015 Mobile 500 guide, those merchants who have properly configured their mdot mobile pages (and mobile redirects), dynamically served mobile content, or responsive design pages can expect to see mobile commerce gains. Free Mobile SEO Tests In the same announcement, Google wrapped up a gift to mobile marketers in the form of a simple mobile-friendly test tool. If you are just getting started, this can be a useful way to gauge mobile usability. Just enter a page URL and Google returns a green light / red light assessment of your site’s mobile friendliness. While it’s great to see high-level results whether a site passes Google’s muster, there may be technical issues beneath the surface that need to be addressed to boost mobile rankings in Google and Bing. For this, we recommend our free tool, Mobile SEO Page Analyzer. Many retailers, agencies, and mobile marketers use Mobile Page Analyzer to get specific details on how Google and Bing view their page elements from a mobile SEO standpoint and hone in on what precisely needs to be fixed to get mobile shoppers where they expect to be.

Parking Lot Winter Hazards This winter, as temperatures drop and the probability of snow and ice increases, Staples & Associates reminds you to be vigilant in parking lot safety. Here are essential tips to help you navigate holiday shopping safely during the winter months. Parking Lot Safety Tips 1. Watch for Ice Parking lots can become icy and slippery during winter weather. Walk cautiously and be mindful of icy patches. Wear appropriate footwear with good traction, and use designated walkways when available. 2. Clear Ice & Snow From Your Vehicle Before starting your drive to the store, clear off your car completely for the safety of yourself and other drivers. This includes not only your windshield but the roof of your vehicle, all windows, and lights. 3. Parking Safely Choose a parking spot away from large snow piles that can obstruct your view when pulling out of the spot. If you can, leave extra space between your car and others to allow for any snow removal, and minimize the chance of damage from doors opening. 4. Watch for Pedestrians With pedestrians bundled up, hurrying to and from the store, and a higher likelihood of ice on the walkways and crosswalks, keep a closer eye out for people in the parking lot. Yield the right of way and be extra cautious in busy areas. 5. Proper Insurance Before the ice and snow arrive, review your auto insurance policy to make sure you have the proper coverage you need. Contact Staples & Associates insurance agency for personalized advice and adjustments to your policy if needed. By following these parking lot safety tips, you can navigate winter conditions with confidence. Stay safe on the roads, and for any insurance-related inquiries, don’t hesitate to reach out to Staples & Associates.

Establishing Efficient Remote Work Before the current sanitary crisis, leaders were reluctant in letting team members work from home. You may be asking yourself why? Besides the fact that some jobs are incompatible with remote work, some leaders say it due to the risks linked to the security of IT tools, others fear administrative constraints, hierarchy issues or just because managers themselves are reluctant. Indeed, they fear difficulties in managing their department, the increase of complex exchanges between employees and losing part of their managerial responsibilities. They are also concerned about the lack of work-life balance. However, today, a grand majority of workers are confined at home because of Corona Virus. Everything has changed in a couple of weeks and now some of us are forced to work remotely. When not used to it, the thought of working from home might be daunting and drive people to self-isolation. This is something that leaders absolutely want to prevent. To make sure remote work is a success for each employee, leaders needs to: - Ensure the workload is distributed fairly, - Keep in regular contact with employees to detect those who have more difficulties and therefore need support - Maintain team spirit by promoting the company’s culture, - Plan regular meetings so that everyone has the same level of information Once again communication is key in this situation. Some tips could be communicated to beginners or all employees to support them in this new situation they were unprepared for. They need to figure out their working style by framing their work environment, planning their day and for example by using the « Pomodoro » technique (25-minute work session for a 5 minute-break). They also need to time for themselves so, leaders should promote self-care: exercising, finding an activity that allows them to be always “on”. There are many benefits for employers and employees in this new situation. The first one is finding out employees are more autonomous than they think in their own environment. Leaders and managers are emphasizing management through trust which will make employees feel more engaged. By managing their own time, employees will be more productive/efficient, less distracted and will be more rested as they are avoiding commuting. Even with all of this, some might struggle to get used to the abrupt change and transition. There is a difference between never working from home, occasionally working from home and working full-time remotely. Employees but also employers might start feeling lonely and isolated. Each party will have to play their part in being open-minded, understanding and supportive. Close communication between employees and managers but also team members is vital. People need to be virtually creative to maintain a semblance of normalcy and make sure these feelings do not impact moral and productivity: virtual coffee breaks, lunch, happy hours, games, birthdays, workouts, meditation, etc. The goal is to keep spirits up and this can be part of an engagement strategy! Through and through, remote work can also be an opportunity for companies to understand how well they function all together but also which process or effective or not. It will empower teams by enabling them to develop specific skills such as adaptability or communication. Moreover, it can be an opportunity for them to experiment a bit more all the tools they have at their disposal (working on the cloud, using videoconference, etc.) and establish inclusive practices. This situation might influence leaders to identify new ways of working or lead to a widespread of the trend that is remote work. - Le télétravail progresse mais les managers freinent les dirigeants, 22nd February 2019, Cadremploi - What is remote work?

Diagnosis From The Sound Of A Patient’s Voice Researchers from a US start-up, Canary Speech, are working to develop technology to predict and diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder, Parkinson’s disease, concussions or even heart diseases from the sound of a patient’s voice. There is a growing amount of evidence suggesting that many physical and mental conditions may alter the sound of a person’s voice. For example, by speaking in a more nasal tone, elongating sounds, slurring words or even sounds that are not detectable to the human ear such as jitters or a creak in the voice. Early diagnosis can play an immense role in effectively managing conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, but recent studies have shown that doctors are often struggling to distinguish the symptoms. The longer the condition is undiagnosed the more symptoms become severe. By using analytics software and big data, Canary Speech are able to identify vocal patterns that might indicate Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease. This has allowed them to notice several tell-tale signs. Another company that is developing technology to diagnose conditions with the sound of a voice is Mayo Clinic. They are teaming with Beyond Verbal, an Israeli company to test the voices of patients with coronary artery disease. There is a belief that the hardening of arteries causing chest pain may influence voice production. In an initial study, 150 patients were asked to produce three short vocal recordings with an app developed by Beyond Verbal. After analysing the voices using the machine, 13 different vocal features associated with patients at risk of coronary artery diseases were identified. Yuval Mor, CEO of Beyond Verbal says, “This study has been underway for two years, and it took us awhile to understand the meaning from it, but we feel like there is real substance there. Finding correlations in voice features to physical symptoms means there could be continuations in other areas”. Mor continues to say that the research is an opportunity to develop an app that that can alert people of risks of certain conditions based on their voice. According to Amir Lerman, a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, this vocal test app could be a low-cost, predictive screening tool to identify patients who are at risk of heart diseases. It can also help clinicians monitor patients after cardiac surgery. For instance, changes in a patient’s voice could possibly indicate if they have stopped taking their medication.

TL;DR: The increasing prevalence of personalized experiences on Amazon and the multi-step consumer path to purchase render Share of Voice and ROAS metrics less useable. Market share and incrementality measurements are becoming more possible, particularly as Amazon provides more data directly to brands via vendor central, seller central, and Amazon Marketing Cloud. 2 minute read In today’s Stratably Live session featuring Gabe Fishbein of Flywheel, Amazon practitioners tuned in to gain insights into evolving measurement strategies.

Today’s blog post is dedicated to my favorite combination: camel blazer and skinny jeans. Fall is, admittedly, not one of the most popular seasons. Sure, there are pumpkin spice lattes and the fall fashion trends are undeniably fresh and new; For one thing, it’s a great time for workwear change-ups: try swapping an LBD for a camel blazer and pairing it with skinny jeans. One outfit that I love to wear during fall is a camel blazer with skinny jeans. It’s classic, sophisticated, and stylish. With a blazer and jeans, it is an outfit that can be worn to almost any occasion. Whether you’re going out to dinner with family or friends, heading to a college class or your internship, or if you need to just go grocery shopping for the evening. There are many great ways in which you can wear this look throughout the fall season. For example, if it’s a nice day outside for fall weather (meaning it’s sunny outside) I would recommend wearing a pair of brown Keds as your shoe choice. These shoes are perfect for going from the town to the country. They look great with any outfit due to their simplistic design and style. I would also recommend adding a brown belt to add more of a pop to your outfit. And for days or nights where it gets colder outside, I would suggest wearing black tights and the same pair of Keds. And if you’re going out to dinner with the family or taking a walk around an old park, grab a warm coat and throw it over your outfit. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy; just throw on a simple blazer and leave it open so that people can see the rest of your outfit. You know that old saying: fall is about layer-up. The cold will soon return, and you’ll be looking to keep your inner-layer at moderate temperatures as much as you can. For the fall season, this could mean wearing a camel blazer over a shirt or t-shirt (and yes, there’s absolutely no shame in it!), while the outer layer needs to be super warm in order to cut the wind and suffocation (stay away from vests that are not lined completely). Here is a fabulous camel blazer with skinny jeans street style collection, that’s why you are about to see a great example of the layering trend being played into stylishly chic fall fashion. What we love most about this suit jacket is its oversized fit, which gives you that mid-twenties vibe that will make you blend in with the crowd. Whether it’s work or play, this blazer will definitely be your go-to piece throughout autumn – for sure. The blazer has an original silhouette that frames the shoulders and waist, while flaring at the sleeves to create an elegant look around your arms. On top of these insanely chic details, the models wear it with skinny jeans in black or blue wash for effortless style and versatility you’ll be happy about. P The trendsetters are wearing their camel blazers with black skinny jeans and blue styles tucked in and paired with desert boots and classic ankle boots. We love how they balanced out their outfits with these layers.

Ella Halikas, a bold and confident plus-size model, is showing the world that fashion doesn’t have to be limited to certain body types. Recently, she went viral for recreating famous celebrity outfits, proving that style is about confidence, not just size. By imitating iconic looks from stars like Julia Fox, Halikas is inspiring a new conversation about self-acceptance and body positivity. She hopes her example will encourage others, regardless of their body shape, to feel beautiful and to experiment with new looks without hesitation. One of the trends Halikas embraced was Julia Fox’s low-rise fashion, which many curvier women found intimidating. She noticed many women on TikTok hesitating to try this look, feeling self-conscious about their bodies. Inspired by their reluctance, Halikas decided to recreate the style to show that anyone can pull off bold looks if they wear them with confidence. She emphasizes that confidence, not body type, makes any outfit work, and believes that feeling good on the inside reflects in one’s appearance. For one of her recreations, Halikas even ventured into a grocery store in Beverly Hills, mirroring Fox’s supermarket style. She highlighted the importance of how a person carries themselves, explaining that feeling mentally strong and self-assured allows anyone to look their best. Halikas says that if she went in looking insecure, people would likely judge her, but by walking tall and showing confidence, she transformed the look. This approach, she believes, is key to pulling off any style. Halikas’ journey to the spotlight began in 2021 when she was featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, photographed by Yu Tsai. Inspired by other plus-size icons like Ashley Graham, she felt that appearing in the magazine was a dream come true. Now, she’s dedicated to inspiring other women, especially those with similar body types, to embrace their uniqueness. She encourages a mindset called “body neutrality,” which means accepting and loving one’s body while allowing room for improvement. In her daily life, Halikas maintains a healthy lifestyle by incorporating activities like Pilates, weightlifting, soccer, hot yoga, and jogging. For her, fitness isn’t about losing weight but feeling strong and boosting her mental health. She advises people to ignore the fear of being judged at the gym, as most people are focused on themselves. Halikas feels empowered when she’s in a class with smaller people, seeing it as a celebration of her strength and capability. She advises against comparing oneself to others, especially during the summer when many flaunt their bodies in bikinis. Halikas believes that the true power lies in embracing one’s uniqueness. She knows that self-acceptance can be challenging, but the journey to loving oneself is worthwhile. Another plus-size fashion influencer, Katie Sturino, also challenges fashion industry standards. Known for recreating celebrity looks, Sturino uses humor and honesty to highlight the struggles of plus-size women, from finding trendy clothes to dealing with thigh chafing. Sturino’s advocacy has brought attention to issues like size inclusivity, as she urges brands to make fashionable clothes for all body types. Both Halikas and Sturino are paving the way for inclusivity in fashion, encouraging women everywhere to embrace their bodies and express their style confidently. They remind everyone that beauty and fashion have no size limit.

Note: Typically, the only people interested in a teaching philosphy are other educators. However, I thought by making this public that it might benefit students — or those thinking of getting into teaching — on the aspects of design education I consider important each time I walk into My goal as an educator is a simple one: the pursuit of excellence. In my opinion, design excellence is not merely the creation of beautiful work, it is the process of evaluating, dissecting and understanding exceptional historical and contemporary design. It is the skill and willingness to experiment within the framework of both Modernist and Post-modernist design styles. It is a love for typography and an appreciation that typographic selection, layout and refinement are the heart and soul of graphic design. It is thinking about design intellectually and engaging the viewer through smart and sophisticated conceptual implementation. And finally, it is about pride in production, craftsmanship and presentation of the completed work. In my opinion, there are two major skill sets that design educators need to impart on their students. First, establish the importance of critical thinking, and provide an environment that encourages the understanding of solid design and typographic fundamentals and experimentation; and secondly, to provide professional knowledge and assignment/internship opportunities that will make the students attractive candidates for positions at well-respected design studios and agencies. I feel these skills can be successfully gained through assignment selection, professional studio interaction and a commitment to both the practical and intellectual sides of design. In regard to the classroom setting, I feel it is essential to clearly define my expectations from the outset. I want there to be no doubt that I expect nothing less than each student’s best effort. Students are treated with the respect of a developing young professional and will be expected to act as such. I believe in being as honest and forthright as possible, and encourage my students to do the same. I promote an open forum, offering the freedom to engage any issues relevant to the class, including the discussion and evaluation of professional design and contemporary trends within the graphic I feel that class critiques in combination with one-on-one student/professor discussions are critical to a young designer’s growth and development. Layout, typography and concept should constantly be reviewed and questioned. Intermediate and final critiques are important for several reasons: they force the student to discuss, describe and defend their own work — one of the key abilities of a practicing designer; they provide the opportunity to evaluate the work of others; and they require the ability to sift through various opinions, determining which comments are worth investigating. Most assignments will adhere to a three-phased approach to project development, which allows for concentration on each aspect of the design process — Phase 1: Brainstorming, concepting, researching and writing; Phase 2: Layout, typography, critique and revisions; Phase 3: Production, assembly and final presentation. This approach ensures that students understand and appreciate the full design process, and it reinforces my belief that all aspects of the design process are integral in attaining design excellence. Teaching, much like design, is a creative process. It requires dedication, passion, self-evaluation, patience and a desire to educate and influence the designers of tomorrow.

Today was simple but great. We didn’t get to bed last night until 5 am and I didn’t get up till 5 pm. We went to the park again and made dinner (pizza and ramen… awesome.) We are now sitting around Mouse’s place drinking and watching Battlestar Galactica. (Germans love Battlestar Galactica… well at least ex-pats do). Tonight we’re going to meet up with some people for a party and hopefully stay out till dawn again. I’m hoping to get on the roof and catch some shots of the sunrise. I am posting a few more shots today as well, including Mouse’s room at 78 and a few more from the park. I’m going to try and document 78 a little more in the coming days. For those reading this and finding it uneventful… you’re right, but this is exactly how we wanted today, I haven’t been this relaxed in ages.

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure that involves removing infected or damaged tissue, such as the pulp and nerves, from the inside of a tooth. Here are some important facts about this procedure: When is it needed? Root canal treatment becomes necessary when the pulp and nerves inside a tooth become infected or damaged due to decay, trauma, or other reasons. If left untreated, it can cause pain, sensitivity, and other symptoms, leading to further dental problems. What does the procedure entail? Root canal treatment involves removing the infected or damaged tissue, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and filling them with a biocompatible material. A dental crown or other restoration may be placed on top of the tooth to provide additional support and protection Is it painful? Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatment is not a painful procedure. In fact, it is designed to alleviate pain and discomfort by removing the source of the problem. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure. How effective is it? Root canal treatment is a safe and effective way to save a damaged or infected tooth. With proper care and maintenance, a root canal treated tooth can last a lifetime. Are there alternatives? The primary alternative to root canal treatment is tooth extraction, which involves removing the entire tooth. However, extraction may lead to other dental problems and may require additional dental procedures to replace the missing tooth. Root canal treatment is a common and effective way to treat damaged or infected teeth. It is a safe and relatively painless procedure that can help alleviate pain, restore dental function, and save a damaged tooth.

Women’s 2s 3 - 0 Bristol Firebrands (H) By Lilie Lamacraft & Sarah Johnston Surbiton bounced back in style with a 3-0 victory over the Bristol Firebrands, putting behind them a disappointing loss to Exeter two weeks ago. Despite disjointed availability for training during that period, the team displayed remarkable cohesion and determination, leading to a well-deserved win. The match kicked off with a flurry of activity, and Surbiton quickly found their rhythm. Sophie Osbourne opened the scoring in the first quarter with a brilliant goal, expertly placed to catch the goalkeeper off guard. Shortly after, Cecily Moorhead doubled the lead with another fantastic finish. Sarah Johnston was a standout performer throughout the match, anchoring the midfield with strength and poise. Her ability to control the tempo and distribute the ball earned her the POM award, as she consistently drove the team forward. The third quarter saw Noa Armelin add to the tally with a well-executed drag flick after three re-awards. The team’s defensive efforts were bolstered by Jemma Woods, who was outstanding in goal, managing to keep a clean sheet and making several crucial saves to deny the Firebrands any chance of getting back into the game. Off the pitch, the match was not without its moments of humor. Lilie found herself on the receiving end of the DOD title after an unfortunate nutmeg, while Sarah also earned a mention for a comical fall while trying to exit the changing room, narrowly avoiding disaster with the television and whiteboard – they were joint DOD’s. Adding to the drama, coach Roro received a telling-off from the officials an incident that some argued should have been worth a DOD nomination, had it not been for Kuda, our manager, who kept him calm from the sidelines. Meanwhile, the ever-watchful Will Fulker provided his coaching tips from afar. With this victory, Surbiton not only regained their confidence but also set their sights on the next challenge—an away match against Southgate next week. With their spirits high and lessons learned from recent games, the team is ready to tackle the next chapter of their season.

What is reality? And what is fantasy? Should I run to the cold Or go to the heat? I shouldn't have left the party. Wolf stands under a tree. His gaze leaves frosty trail-marks On Linda's shivering body. The cold air holds her in its thrall. "Come to me." Wolf walks forward, Bringing cold summer nights with him, Promises of snow-swept sunrises. He stands frozen in place. Her shoes dig into the icy cold grass, Taking her closer to her destiny. She can't fight it any longer. She has to give in to the night. Wolf takes her into his arms. "You are now mine, My ice princess." His lips crush hers in a bruising kiss. Hot flames burst around her. Freezing rain washes them away. Hot and cold feelings overwhelm her. Each fighting for domination. Am I ready for this? Ready for the cold and the night? Wolf's black eyes lock into hers, Drawing her closer to him. A snapped twig is followed by hot breath. The ice melts off her. Her heart pumps blood to her cold limbs. She moves away from Wolf. Todd's arms envelope her with their warmth. They encircle her with feelings of love. "This is right. This is my destiny." Wolf's eyes turn hard and unrelenting. He backs away from her. "This battle is not finished" Are his last words Before he disappears into the night. THE DEAD GAME

Hello everybody, I have a few questions about hill sprints. I’ve read on here that they should usually be performed on non-lifting days. What do you think is the reason for this? And what difference could it make doing them on lifting days? I mainly train for climbing, and this means that I use weights as pure finishers, or as power-booster on non-climbing days. Often I would do some kind of weight training, from complexes to cleans or snatches, and then do hill sprints. Should I do sprints on their own, without any other kind of effort before, except warming up? Also, do you think that it could be somehow beneficial to do just some hill sprints - short and fast - the very day before going climbing to have some kind of recruitment the following day? Many thanks as usual. I do sprints on lower body days but if your doing full body routines then off days. I recover better when I consolidate them with my lower days but that is just me. How you do them is a personal preference, I would experiment and see which you prefer. If sprints are a priority for you (i.e. competition, ect) then it makes sense to have dedicated sprint days otherwise I do not think it matters. I sprint once a week and walk 2-3 miles every other day of the week. I have found walking (treadmill or outdoors) to be effective at maintaining aerobic capacity without much impact on recovery. Cheers for the reply, my focus is not on sprints, although it’s so good when you feel fast! I use them only for conditioning purposes, fat-loss and general power output, but everything is aimed at climbing harder. I just tried them after some proper lifting (clean and press and full snatch) and man, I was tired. My hams and glutes were not responsive at all and I wasn’t bouncy at all off the ground with my feet. Anyway a good session! I will try with some other lifting, maybe an upper body complex or some snatch pulls from hang, to tire the hams and glutes a bit less. I am still curious though: sprinting after lifting - tired, that is - can potentiate the efficacy of the lifting? Or does it simply add up as some high-intensity volume with no specific benefit? Cheers for the replies.

…me and Tainui both. With much difficulty, Lucy has managed to convince me that the Bloody Mary, combined with poached eggs on toast, is a perfectly respectable breakfast. Even in this most abstemious of vessels. I have embraced the idea and, I must say, she is right. She usually is. Intermittent rain and headwinds have been the norm during this trip south from Pula. Still, we’ve managed. Last night we tucked into a gorgeous little bay and, out of nowhere, there arose a calm, warm and cloudless evening. Just ideal for swims and various considerations of personal hygeine. Even a punk haircut for Dan. Navigation has not been terribly difficult along the Dalmatian coast, though sorting out islands with names like Zut, Zit and Sit (pron “Shit”) can be taxing after a Lucy breakfast. There has even been enough time left over for me to tell The Bunda Joke (Maxine’s favorite), in its original unexpurgated form. Lucy, whose capacity for hyperbole is unlimited, frightened us with her annoucement that we had an urgent need to replenish our liquor supplies. “There’s nothing left”, she said with real panic in her voice. This is the woman who swears black and blue that it took us eight days to cross the North Sea, when in fact it took us less than three. Disbelieving, I went below to take stock. She wasn’t quite right – we still have 1 bottle of red wine, 1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of rum, 1/2 bottle of limoncello (thanks, Maxine), 2 bottles of whisky and 4 litres of beer. Not quite panic time, but I agreed with her (always politick) that we need a stop to re-provision. Things are getting a bit tight. We aren’t. I have been told that July and August are peak periods for EVSC charter boats, but we have had no trouble avoiding them. Little bays and inlets abound along the Dalmatian coast. You have to choose according to expected weather, but that’s all. We still need to form a plan. As in life, really. For the moment, the pheromonals seem happy but daily runs of 40 miles are as much as we can usefully manage given the headwinds. I would like to get across from Albania to Sicily while the pheromonal youngsters are aboard, but at this rate we will barely make Albania before they leave for family reunions in Crete. Then Tania arrives, with real children (5 and 7 years old!). That will be an interesting novelty in Tainui, whose children have been Gerda and Dima, Rosie and Beth, now Lucy and Dan. All of them in their late 20’s. So be it.

Nick Saban has such a profound, incredible impact on his players for 17 years at the University of Alabama. He was a father figure for many of them, mentoring them to winning on the field and in life. AJ McCarron, a three-time BCS National Champion in the Saban era, is returning to the St. Louis Battlehawks of the United Football League (UFL) after being released from the Cincinnati Bengals.

He also joked about being ready to whip his former coach in golf. “I told him I’m coming to whip his ass in some golf and get some of that NIL money I missed out on” 🤣 Great catching up w/ @10AJMcCarron today! I asked him about Nick Saban’s retirement & McCarron told me he’s ready to tee it up with his old coach after @XFLBattlehawks season! pic.twitter.com/ZmDpZ1ZnMW — Simone Eli (@SimoneEli_TV) February 16, 2024 “I just told him how proud I was of him,” McCarron said about Saban announcing his retirement. “What an absolute run it was, and hell it’s time for him to go enjoy his grandkids, enjoy life, and play some golf. I told him I’m coming as soon as this season is over with and I get a break, I’m coming to whip his ass in some golf and get some of that NIL money I missed out on.” McCarron said he is ‘happy as hell’ for Coach Saban to enjoy life after a legendary coaching career.

When you visit a website on the Internet, the computer you use will find the address of the site using a system called DNS. If you are using your home computer to browse the internet, it will request each website address from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Dedicated and Virtual Servers are set up to search for this DNS information themselves. This is perfectly normal and is a commonly used feature for office or cloud networks. There are two types of DNS queries that can be made to your server, which are as follows: - Recursive requests: With these requests your server will attempt to find the website in question in its local cache. If it cannot find an answer it will query other DNS servers on your behalf until it finds the address. It will then respond to the original request with the results from each server's query. - Iterative requests: With these requests the DNS server will attempt to find the website in question in its local cache. If it cannot find an answer it will not ask other DNS servers but will reply back to the original request with a single “I don’t know, but you could try asking this server” message. Why are recursive DNS requests not recommended? Servers that support this type of request are vulnerable to fake requests from a spoofed IP address (the victim of the attack), the spoofed IP address can get overwhelmed by the number of DNS results it receives and be unable to serve regular internet traffic. This is called an Amplifier attack because this method takes advantage of DNS servers to reflect the attack onto a target while also amplifying the volume of packets sent to the victim. A consequence of this activity is that third party Network administrators who detect these requests may block your IP addresses. Your server could even be placed upon DNS blacklists. What happens if I turn off Recursive DNS lookups on my server? If your server does not enable recursive DNS lookups, it will simply treat any such requests as an iterative DNS inquiry. It will remain as a DNS server, but will no longer be useful to attackers in part of an amplified attack on a victim. How do I turn off Recursive DNS lookups? Within the Plesk control panel: Step 1: Log into your Plesk Control panel and click on Settings in the left hand menu. Step 2: Click the button marked DNS Recursion Settings. Step 3: Select Allow for Local requests only and click Set. This will stop third parties from receiving recursive DNS requests from your server. For Windows not using the Plesk control panel: Open the command line and enter the following command: dnscmd /Config /NoRecursion 1</code></p> <p>Replacing <Server name> with the name of your server.</p>

The OK hand sign has been added to a list of hate symbols. The finger-and-thumb gesture – which is also a popular emoji – is being used by some as a “sincere expression of white supremacy”, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). But the US anti-hate group says the “overwhelming usage” of the hand gesture today is still to show approval or that someone is OK. Therefore “particular care must be taken not to jump to conclusions about the intent behind someone who has used the gesture”. Other symbols added to the list include burning neo-Nazi symbols, images of the “Happy Merchant” and the slogan “Diversity = White Genocide”. The Anti-Defamation League started its “Hate on Display” list in 2000 with the aim of helping people recognise signs of extremism. It now has over 200 entries, including the swastika and Ku Klux Klan’s burning cross. “Even as extremists continue to use symbols that may be years or decades old, they regularly create new symbols, memes and slogans to express their hateful sentiments,” said ADL boss Jonathan Greenblatt. “We believe law enforcement and the public needs to be fully informed about the meaning of these images, which can serve as a first warning sign to the presence of haters in a community or school.” The ADL says the OK symbol has become a “popular trolling tactic” from “right-leaning individuals, who often post photos to social media of themselves posing while making the gesture”. It started out as an online joke on 4Chan – taking an innocent gesture and pretending there was a hidden meaning behind it, hoping to trick the media and left-leaning people into outrage. But the joke was so successful and widespread among the far-right, that many believe the OK sign is changing meaning. The man accused of killing 51 people at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, earlier this year flashed the OK hand sign when he was in court. He’s pleaded not guilty to murder. Dr Paul Stocker, a historian who specialises in far-right movements, says the OK sign is a way of people who are in the far-right to communicate to each other. “It’s a coded message to people who are in the know and understand what the far-right are doing,” he tells Radio 1 Newsbeat. “That symbol indicates to core supporters that they are one of them.” The writer says it’s common for extremist groups to take signs “already in the public domain and twist their meaning”. “The process of finding symbols has accelerated with the alt-right. They operate mainly online and use coded language and memes that might seem innocuous, but if you drill down into them they have meaning.” The Anti-Defamation League is very keen to stress that more often that not, the symbol means everything is OK. “The overwhelming usage of the hand gesture today is still its traditional purpose. “As a result, someone who uses the symbol cannot be assumed to be using the symbol in either a trolling or white supremacist context.”

Trump is calling military officers “some of the dumbest people” he’s ever met, and his supporters are loving it. Trump insulted General Mark Milley at a campaign event in Iowa on Monday, telling a story about disagreeing with the former head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “I don’t want to tell you what I had to go through with these people—some of the dumbest I’ve ever met in my life,” Trump remarked, to thunderous applause from the audience. Trump’s disparagement of Milley has become a recurring theme since The Atlantic published a feature in which Milley detailed how he “protected the Constitution from Donald Trump.” In September, Trump accused Milley of treason for conversing with Chinese officials about the US election process and suggested he should be hanged. “This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been death,” Trump said in a statement. Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed a second gag order on Trump on Monday, citing Trump’s insane rant about Milley as part of the cause. This isn’t the first time Trump has made disparaging remarks about military personnel. Former White House aide John Kelly stated that Trump had referred to handicapped veterans as “suckers” and “losers.”

Uniques: Late 60s Reggae Style 16th July 2019 Title: Absolutely The…Uniques Label: Music on Vinyl Trios were a popular group format in the early 60s as ska became a popular phenomenon in Jamaica. In this rocksteady/reggae case, the trio got together from the Techniques (i.e. Slim Smith and Franklyn White) plus Roy Shirley but that line-up morphed into Smith again but this time with Lloyd Charmers and Jimmy Riley. This trio were only together for a year or so but, in that time, they racked up many hit songs including Watch This Sound (a re-working of Stephen Stills’ For What It’s Worth) for the group’s own Tramp label. Curtis Mayfield’s Gypsy Woman was another top quality cover. There were original compositions in the mix too of course. Songs like A Yuh and Speak No Evil reflected early reggae stylings. All of these songs appear in this album, which was released in 1968 on Trojan (the band would split soon afterwards as the group members undertook their own solo careers). As you might expect from reading the above, the songs on this album are more about collecting and collating singles than forging any sort of album template or concept. That said, that’s not a big problem because the tracks are all of high quality in song-writing terms. As for audiophile terms? Well, elegance and fragility are two words that you won’t find when describing the sonic qualities of this LP. There’s some compression here. Dynamically restricted, slightly clinical, rolled-off mids and pinched treble give a cool face to the music. In many ways, you just have to forgive the recording because, as the saying goes, “it is what it is”. Because of the time and the place and original facilities available, the recording quality is as expected, in other words. Nevertheless, Music on Vinyl has done a fine mastering job, rescuing the recording. It sounds sparse in terms of detail but remains perfectly listenable.

The Duke of Sussex thanked the winners for their inspiring efforts in protecting his late mother’s legacy. During the video call, Harry shared some light-hearted moments with the group and even joked about enjoying their evening responsibly. Although he was not able to attend the awards in person due to his recent security concerns in the UK, he made sure to show his support for the recipients. Meanwhile, Prince William attended the awards ceremony solo, honoring Princess Diana and presenting 20 awards to deserving individuals. The brothers’ ongoing rift was evident in their separate involvement in the event and their lack of in-person interaction since Harry’s move to the US in 2020. Despite the distance and differences between the siblings, both Prince Harry and Prince William remain dedicated to honoring their mother’s legacy and supporting the next generation of changemakers. The Diana Legacy Awards continue to recognize and celebrate young individuals who are following in Princess Diana’s footsteps of compassion and service to others. As the royal brothers navigate their separate paths, their shared commitment to carrying on their mother’s work serves as a reminder of the powerful impact of Princess Diana’s humanitarian efforts.

Contributing to the vibrant musical landscape of Reggae and Dancehall music and culture for more than 30 years is none other than Mr Easy. The esteemed singer and songwriter is literally wowing global listening audiences with several red-hot songs as you read this. It’s clear that summer is sizzlin’ for the “Drive Me Crazy” crooner, whose current bangers and highly anticipated Reggae Sumfest performance formally solidify his position in a post-pandemic industry. Just as “Praise Him” (Stingray Records) secures its rightful position on international playlists, broadcasts and mixes, tapping into the entertainer’s spiritual side, “Ghetto Cry” (Pandemic Records) delivers a powerful message about the mistreatment of the poor and underserved. Now more than ever before, there’s a lot of musical energy and vibrations surrounding Mr Easy. His spring “420ish Festival” appearance in Virginia Beach, VA served as the ideal prelude to an exciting season of live entertainment, which includes shows in Boston, Atlanta and “The Greatest Show on Earth” Reggae Sumfest. There, the “Rain Again” singer will perform during the buzzy Mad House tribute to Dave Kelly, drawing from his amazing catalogue of classic dancehall staples. To date, the decorated artist has recorded at least six songs with the famed producer. Mr Easy will join acts like Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Baby Cham, Frisco Kid, Spragga Benz, Spice and more for the eagerly awaited segment during International Night, Saturday, July 23 As if the entertainer’s musical servings couldn’t get more bountiful, the upbeat “Nah Nuh Style” (Sawfie Alliance) rises to the top of party anthems, while lighting up premiere boxing matches and racking up notoriety across diverse music audiences. The festive song is quickly becoming a fav in the Latin market. The heartfelt “Wish You Were Here” (Love Star Music) single and video continue to dominate tributes to fallen loved ones, while the R&B flavored “Missing You,” a collabo with deejay, actor and producer Courtney Undah Privilege (“Arnold’s Caribbean Pizza”), is a catchy ode to missing that special someone. Notably, there’s more great music in circulation. The up-tempo “Stoplight” with young rising star Current Boss is a dancehall gem! On any given night, the dancers and Current Boss take over the dancehall spaces with signature, animated moves. Last but not least, one can’t sleep on “Friends Fi Life” with De Alpha (DJ Jason/Romie Fame Records) — a bonafide tribute to lifelong friendships, which sustains its presence as a top tune of DJs, sounds and revelers alike. When asked about his wide spectrum of great music, the famed singer says, “I make music from the heart that’s timely and relevant. My goal is to always create music, which people want to hear.” Music is not the only mission of the acclaimed Mr Easy, as philanthropy also has a special place in his heart. Mr Easy’s annual back to school charity event is scheduled for August 7th in Stewart Town, Trelawny. He and his team will be giving out an array of much needed supplies to students in the neighborhood for the upcoming school term. The event will be chock-full of live performances with popular sound-system Bass Odyssey handling the juggling. Mr Easy Garners ‘Praise’ for Versatile Music Releases and Reggae Sumfest Performance

ABC’s ’20/20′ address the details of two accidents in the Karlsen family that were eventually proved to be two well-planned murders. The decade-old murder cases were brushed off as accidents by local authorities; however, one thing that stood out in both was the last-minute insurance policy. In any case, this link turned out to be crucial in solving both cases. The family, still reeling from this discovery, had a gut feeling about this outcome all along. Christina Karlsen’s Death Christina Karlsen was married to Karl Karlsen. The two had three children together, and all of them lived together in their home in California. On New Year’s in 1991, the house abruptly caught fire. Karl Karlsen saved his children from the fire but later reported that he was unable to save his wife from the fire. In addition, he reported that the bathroom window had been broken by Christina just days before because of which it was boarded up. However, his daughter, Erin DeRoche, claimed much later that in the segment with ’20/20′ that she didn’t remember him making any real efforts to save their mother. She also said that Karl said that their mother is in heaven even before the ambulance reached their residence. Christina Karlsen was killed in the house fire, and the authorities reported that she died due to smoke inhalation. She was reportedly trapped in the bathroom when the house was on fire. Christina’s sister, Colette Bousson, visited the family the next day and found it difficult to believe that her sister could not be rescued from the fire. She said, “I told [Karl] that I wanted to see my sister … and he said, you can’t, she’s a crispy critter.” The insurance company had apparently conducted an investigation of their own, in which they found evidence of the fire having been deliberately set; however, they stated that nothing came out of their reports to the law enforcement. Even after this, the insurance company paid Karl $ 200,000. The Truth Comes Out In 2008, Christina’s son, Levi Karlsen, who was the father of two daughters at the time, was crushed and killed under Karl’s truck. At the time, he was repairing the truck, and it was ruled as an accident. However, investigators later found out that just 17 days before Levi’s death, Karl had made him take an insurance policy, for which he made Karl the sole beneficiary.

President Barbara R. Snyder and Provost Ben Vinson III today announced the appointment of the Weatherhead School of Management’s Michael Goldberg as the inaugural executive director of the university’s Veale Institute for Entrepreneurship. “Michael’s international experience as a business leader and venture capitalist has made him an exceptionally effective and popular teacher over the past decade,” President Snyder said. “We are delighted that he now will be applying his knowledge and networks to developing the Veale Institute into a national leader.” Launched through support from the Veale Foundation, the institute will serve as Case Western Reserve’s preeminent hub for entrepreneurship—leading its own programming and activities while also working with individual schools and campus organizations. The institute also will serve as an entry point for those beyond the campus who want to learn more about the university’s initiatives, which include academic offerings and extracurricular activities as well as product and business development. “The entrepreneurial activities that have evolved here are truly exceptional,” Provost Vinson said. “The Veale Institute gives us an opportunity to build upon these many individual strengths to create a more vibrant and coordinated ecosystem that engages and inspires the entire campus.” Goldberg spent the second half of 2019 as one of two faculty advisors for the institute—the other was Scott Shane, the A. Malachi Mixon III, Professor of Entrepreneurial Studies—during the interim leadership of Northeast Ohio native and Silicon Valley investment banker Todd Schwarzinger. Goldberg, who also grew up in the region, has taught entrepreneurship at Weatherhead for the past decade—first as an adjunct faculty member and most recently as an associate professor. For the past 15 years he has served as managing partner of a venture capital firm that invests in Israeli medical device companies that have synergies with Northeast Ohio institutions involved in health care. A graduate of Princeton University who majored in public and international affairs, Goldberg went on to earn an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania, as well as a master’s degree in international relations from Johns Hopkins University. He has taught entrepreneurship at universities in Spain, Greece, Vietnam, Namibia and Turkey, and in 2014 launched Beyond Silicon Valley, a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Coursera. The course has drawn tens of thousands of students from 190 countries; it also led to a book of the same name. The Burton D. Morgan Foundation—which also supports CWRU LaunchNET and the law school’s Intellectual Property Venture Clinic, among several other initiatives—funded development of the course and book. “I am humbled to lead an institute that bears the name of Tinkham Veale II, an alumnus and business leader whose gifts to Case Western Reserve have helped transform the campus and supported student learning and faculty research,” Goldberg said. “We are committed to making the Veale Institute for Entrepreneurship a place of such dynamism and innovation that those on and off campus see it as a beacon of creative and strategic opportunity.”

‘ In August, the Office of University Relations decided to make over the UH logo. The new logo places more emphasis on the word ‘Houston,’ as it is displayed in bold font on uh.edu. The former logo presented ‘university’ and ‘Houston’ in thicker font than the word ‘of.’ Vice President for University Relations Karen Clarke said one of the objectives of the change is to make UH stand out from other universities. ‘We want to articulate an ownable identity that differentiates UH from others and brings UH vision to life in a meaningful, compelling way,’ Clarke said.’ ‘Our goal is to build pride in UH.’ Clarke said the new logo accentuates the word Houston because it calls attention to the benefits of UH’s location. ‘Our students, faculty, alumni and business leaders told us this is both a strength and a differentiator for UH and affords our students more real world experience,’ Clarke said. ‘Houston offers opportunities for internships and work experience that increase our students’ chances of getting a job in their chosen discipline upon graduation.’ The familiar interlocking ‘U’ and ‘H’ will not be changed, but Clarke said UH is looking to transform its identity. ‘ ‘At other Texas universities, students get their identity from the university,’ Clarke said.’ ‘At UH, we get our identity from our students. We do not want to be like the (University of) Texas’s or (Texas) A&M’s in that the students go to these universities for their tradition and history. We want our students to build their own traditions and make their traditions the traditions of UH.’ ‘In my opinion, pride is built from the student’s personal academic accomplishments,’ Interim Director of University Marketing Elisa Crossland said. ‘Whether it be positive interactions with other students, faculty and staff, respect for the hard work of others or the student’s perceived value of the experience and a heartfelt desire to share this emotional connection with others.’ Crossland said part of UH’s identity shift includes training students for careers instead of graduation. ‘Here, you will gain a global perspective, you will work with top professionals and leaders, and you will receive a top-tier education,’ Crossland said. ‘We want to prepare students for the workplace. Others simply prepare students to graduate.’ Crossland also expressed the need to remove UH’s reputation as a second option for students. She said students who have developed this mindset will eventually reflect on their experience at UH as a ‘blessing in disguise.’
