As the capital of New South Wales, Sydney is one of the best cities to live in. It is home to the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge. So apart from residents, tourists flock to this lovely town which is one of the most famous cities in the Land Down Under. Apart from eclectic restaurants, great shopping, fantastic employment opportunities, and excellent school districts, one of the stellar things you can expect in this advanced, cosmopolitan hub is access to excellent medical care. Numerous hospitals abound in Sydney, and they are staffed with highly trained medical personnel and high-tech equipment.
On top of that, you can get a good home doctor Sydney to make a house call when you are not feeling well. This comes in very handy when you have a senior or a chronically ill person who is feeling too weak to step out of the house to go to an actual hospital. Sometimes, a quick checkup only is needed, so treating the patient in the comfort and warmth of home is the best approach. When you are feeling unwell or if you are bed-bound, it is indeed troublesome to trek to the hospital. Here’s what you can expect from a home doctor visit in Sydney.
Provide Personalised Care
When you seek consultation in a hospital, the doctor is usually on a tight schedule to accommodate many patients. You are only allotted a set amount of minutes with a doctor because another patient is already waiting. With a home doctor, you can expect them to provide more attention and care. They spend time assessing your issues and offer better support because they are not rushing. Home doctors are often noted for providing exemplary services.
Offer 24/7 Services
You can expect on-call home doctors to provide their services round the clock, seven days a week. This means that even if you are not feeling well in the middle of the night, you can count on someone to provide care and treatment. When you have a non-life threatening emergency, this is an excellent option because the immediate response is on standby. For life and death situations, it is best to call Australia’s emergency response hotline: triple O.
Expect an Assessment
Before your home doctor Sydney comes in for a visit, expect your healthcare provider to ask questions regarding your home condition. They will make an initial assessment because some exceptional cases can only be provided in the hospital with the guidance of a specialist, support nursing staff, and equipment. Be ready to answer questions about the patient’s current condition when you call.
Prepare Medical Records
To help your home doctor, prepare the patient’s medical records. If you or your loved one has a pre-existing condition, be sure to provide all the documents and state all your maintenance medications. The visiting doctor will need this to analyse and assess your entire health situation. Doing this will ensure you get the best possible treatment plan.
Your universal healthcare can cover most home doctor visits. They typically cost the same as your regular checkup in the hospital. However, every service provider is different, so be sure to check their rates when you make the appointment so you can mitigate unpleasant surprises with your invoice later on.
Pick the Right Doctor
Before you make an appointment, do your due diligence by researching the service company and the team of doctors. Do they have the capabilities of treating your issues? You may have an elderly patient at home with Alzheimer’s and other comorbidities, so you may need someone specialising in geriatrics. Research the providers before making an appointment. Double-check their official website and read testimonials, too.
Availing a house call for specific medical issues makes a lot of sense because it is more comfortable for the patient to be treated at home. It may be especially difficult for those who have mobility issues or are chronically sick to travel the busy streets of Sydney. When you make an appointment for a doctor’s house call, a healthcare provider will be with you in a few hours to help alleviate your discomfort. There is no waiting in a cramped holding room, and you can comfortably relax in your home because the doctor will come to you. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Barbara and John
I was walking on Broadway heading to Hamilton House to have lunch when I met Barbara and John. As I started to talk to them, John made it clear as he looked at his watch that he had somewhere to go and did not really want to talk. I asked him where he was headed and he said Hamilton House for lunch. Great, we could talk as we walked. John is 90 years old. He had been a farmer in upstate New York in a small town near Rochester. He proudly told me that he grew up without electricity or indoor plumbing. I asked him what brought him to New York and he said he wanted to be a dancer. I said so you just up and left the farm for the big city? Not quite. First, he was drafted by the army and that was the first time he left the farm. When he was discharged from the army, he wanted to stay in the city and become a professional dancer. He said he never quite made it. He danced a few times professionally but needed to work as a waiter and various other jobs to support himself.
However, dancing is how he met Barbara. Barbara is 89 years old. She was a professional ballerina, dancing for the Brooklyn Academy of Music. John said the first time he saw her, he was enthralled with her beauty and the way she moved.
Barbara and John have been married for 57 years. They have no children. As we walked and talked John did most of the talking. When I would ask Barbara a question, he would answer for her. He told me that Barbara has difficulty hearing. When we got to Hamilton House, I was able to get a little closer to Barbara and she told me that she was born and raised in New York City and how much being a dancer meant to her.
John talked about his physical condition. He was bent over, but his mind was clear. It was easy to see that both of them were sharp mentally. When we got to lunch, the meal was vegetarian Chile and pasta that looked unappealing. They both decided to skip today's meal and have lunch elsewhere. Clearly, their pallets have remained sharp too.
Barbara commented how important it was for her and John to get out every day. She said that they get out almost every day regardless of the weather. You may be able to spot them dancing down the avenue. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A new family-run real ale pub has opened in Walton-le-Dale.
Taps and Wine Bar was opened in November by locals Sean and Debbie O’Hagan.
Bar manager Jack Toner said: “As a family run free house we can serve whatever beer we like. Sean and Debbie are massive Preston North End fans, so one of our beers is named BFG Bauer Bier after PNE defender Patrick Bauer.
“We have a tap wall with eight craft beers, plus another seven on tap at the front of the bar, alongside six cask real ales. Because we have 21 beers, plus wines, gins, etc., we’re attracting a wide variety of people including some enthusiastic CAMRA members.
“Our ales are selling really well, and it’s been a great atmosphere since we opened.”
The renovation of the pub, which is located at 2 Chorley Road, has included a quirky piece of upcycling.
Jack said: “Debbie’s grandad used to play snooker in the old Conservative Club, and the original slate bed from the snooker table is now in place as the bar top! We also have old cue rests in use as coat hooks.
“We’ve tried to give the building a real modern feel while keeping the original character of the place.
“Long term we’d also like to do out upstairs and turn it into a function room, or maybe a sports bar.”
In the new year, Taps and Wine Bar is looking at expanding into coffees, cakes and eventually a food menu.

This project began with whispers in a lunch cafe when I first arrived in Juneau in 1992. Welcoming women from the LGBTQ community explained that gay and bisexual men were still underrepresented in Juneau ever since they were secretly sent away in the sixties.
Having relocated from the San Francisco Bay Area where gay pride was publicly celebrated, I began my quest to uncover Juneau’s LGBTQ roots. I gradually interviewed over fifty people who were here in the 60’s, who each had their own angle on this historic period.
As the story grew and the perspectives varied it became clear that the best way to weave the unraveling past was in a historical fiction play. The plot unfolded as a mystery romance set in Juneau in 1963.
Blue tickets, as suspected gay men were called, disappeared one by one from our Juneau landscape in the sixties. Our social-political inequality is built on such unmentioned cornerstones of history.
To view a video that includes more information about the history of the play along with several scenes from a live Juneau performance please watch this video.
The video below shows a performance of the entire play. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Hey, Gerald McHotshoe! Wouldn't you like to go GT4 racing in your Cayman GT4 Clubsport? To feel the proud burn of badge-promised motorsport authenticity?
Hold onto your crullers, champ, because Porsche and Manthey Racing have teamed up to make your aspirations a reality! The result of the partnership is the Porsche GT4 Clubsport MR.
The recipe? Take one GT4 Clubsport and add parts. Manthey's upgrade package includes carbon-fiber doors, front trunk lid, a polycarbonate windshield, and an optional lightweight battery, which together shave 88 pounds from the 2866-pound Clubsport.
A suspension kit with linear bearings and an adjustable anti-roll bar help to further optimize the car for competition.
You also get a bigger wing, because who would make do with a smaller wing when a larger unit can be had?
As a refresher, the GT4 Clubsport racer already comes with what the Germans call a "spartaneous" interior, a PDK gearbox for maximum shift-quickness, 18-inch forged aluminum wheels, and an optional 26.5-gallon fuel tank.
Porsche Motorsport North America is handling the distribution for the kit, and the upgraded Clubsport will be eligible for competition in Pirelli World Challenge GTS and the IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge's GS class.
Elsewhere in the world, Clubsport MRs fit SRO homologation rules, allowing participation in races with a GT4 category.
We don't have word on pricing for the kit, but given that the standard Clubsport nearly doubles a street-legal Cayman GT4's base price, don't figure on shelling out a mere pittance for the privilege of making your GT4 a real GT4 car. Expect to spend, you know, real dollars.

Religious Education is received by all children in discrete classroom teaching. The children will be involved in learning about many religions of the world and increasing their knowledge and respect for the many cultures and beliefs. The teaching of Religious Education follows the guidelines laid down by Hertfordshire County Council in the agreed syllabus. We also supplement this with other resources, where relevant. There are 8 strands of learning:
- Beliefs and practices
- Sources of wisdom
- Symbols and actions
- Prayer, worship and reflection
- Identity and belonging
- Ultimate questions
- Human responsibility and values
- Justice and fairness
Parents and carers have the right to withdraw their children from Religious Education and those wishing to do so should consult the Head teacher.
Intent: To develop a deepening knowledge and understanding about a range of religious and non-religious worldviews so that pupils can: reflect on their own thoughts, feelings, experiences, ideas, values and beliefs with increasing discernment.
Implementation: RE will enable pupils to develop their own sense of identity and belonging and promote respect for the right of others to hold different beliefs, values and ideas.
Impact: For pupils to develop spiritually, academically, emotionally and morally to enable them to better understand themselves and others and to cope with the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities of living in a rapidly changing, multicultural world.
We follow the Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus for RE which aims to enable schools to achieve high quality Religious Education for all. We are currently transitioning to using the new curriculum which runs from 2023-2028. We will refine and develop our long term plan to take account of the new emphasis on worldviews. Teaching needs to provide pupils with a systematic knowledge and understanding about Christianity, principal religions and worldviews which give life value. RE aims to enable pupils to become religiously and theologically literate so they can engage in life in an increasingly diverse society. It is not about telling pupils what religious views they should have but rather assists them in gaining shared human understanding, developing personal identity and searching for meaning in the context of evaluating different viewpoints. We encourage children to reflect on what they think personally about a range of topics. If they are happy to they can share their own ideas. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

As consumer preferences are constantly evolving, more and more brewers are looking to diversify their portfolios beyond beer. The industry itself looks to evolve into other fermented beverages such as hard seltzer, hard kombucha, and spirits. While these beverages have the same basic concepts as crafting beer, there are some important aspects to their fermentation that require a bit more knowledge. In this sponsored BA Collab Hour webinar, Chris White, CEO & President of White Labs, discusses yeast and fermentation tips and tricks for beverages beyond beer. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

French-speaking students demonstrated in Brussels on Thursday against the increase in income requirements for guarantors of foreign students and the resulting vulnerability and expulsions of students from abroad.
More than 200 students from the universities of Mons, Liège, Namur and Brussels took part in the demonstration, according to the Federation of French-Speaking Students, FEF, which organised the protest.
After gathering at the Gare du Nord, the procession headed to the Foreigners’ Office, then to the office of the Minister of Higher Education, Valérie Glatigny, to demand a review of the new amounts required for guarantors.
Under Belgian law, every student from outside the European Union must have the support of a guarantor to gain access to higher education. For the 2023-2024 academic year, the income requirement for these guarantors has increased.
It has been set at €2,758 net per month, which corresponds to 120% of the Social Integration Income (previously 100%), plus €789, which every third-country national must have in order to study in Belgium.
According to the FEF, these amounts are often unattainable. If a guarantor cannot be found, some students risk losing their residence permits and having to leave the country, while others are sometimes scammed by fake sponsors.
“With the exams approaching, it is difficult for these students to concentrate on their studies while worrying about this issue. This demonstration illustrates their frustration,” FEF President Emila Hoxhaj explained.
The FEF also denounces the precarious situation in which some foreign students find themselves. According to the federation, they are denied access to assistance from the social services due to “absurd criteria” and the red tape they have to face is “heavy, complicated and unfair.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Latest jobs data reveals dip in contract placements
IR35: Permanent placements up, contractors down
As the roll out of IR35 changes to the private sector draws closer, contract placements have dropped a sizeable 10.1% month-on-month, as employers shy away from contingent workers. That’s according to the latest monthly Recruitment Trends Snapshot report from the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) in conjunction with growth analytics platform cube19.
With certain banks such as HSBC scrapping contingent workers altogether – the drop is perhaps not unexpected. Permanent placements have fared well as a result, with a 0.9% increase month-on-month and 10.2% rise from last year’s numbers.
Vacancies level out following seasonal uptick
The data also indicated a levelling out of recruitment demand in February after a huge seasonal uptick at the beginning of the year. Across permanent and contract jobs, openings fell 8.6% and 7.4% respectively between January and February 2020. However, permanent roles are up 9.3% year-on-year, and contract opportunities have increased 7.7%.
This may, in spite of coronavirus-related economic uncertainty, indicate greater stability for 2020. Between January and February 2019, perm vacancies dropped a notable 17.1%, significantly more than the latest figures.
Permanent best source of recruitment revenue
Along with growth in permanent placements, the data shows a huge uptick in recruitment sales revenue from permanent placements year-on-year, which increased 24.5% – another possible indication of the impact of IR35, with businesses reducing their reliance on contractors.
Ann Swain, CEO of APSCo commented on the latest figures:
“We always expect to see a dip in placements and vacancies across the board between January and February as activity levels out following seasonal hiring peaks. What’s incredibly encouraging is the year-on-year increases we’re seeing, which certainly indicate that economic positivity remains for now.”
“The private sector roll out of IR35 has clearly already had an impact on contract placements, however, we hope that the government’s decision to take a softer approach to off-payroll rules will encourage more businesses to continue to tap into the valuable contingent workforce.”
Jo McGuire, global sales director at cube19 comments:
“Year over year growth is very positive on the perm side and what’s especially encouraging is the growth in permanent fees. Salaries remain neutral whilst revenue increases. This signifies that end clients recognise the value that staffing providers bring in securing top talent. IR35 is showing an impact in contract revenue but the year-on-year increase in contract jobs combined with the government’s softer approach to off-payroll rules will hopefully see this bounce back soon.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

BWSS to Appear as Witness at Coroner’s Inquest into Death of Lucia Vega Jimenez
Vancouver, BC – For several years, Battered Women’s Support Services (BWSS) has been raising the alarm about the relationship between gender violence and precarious immigration for women, in general, and specifically from Mexico. The devastating situation for Lucia Vega Jimenez, a Mexican woman, who strangled herself, December 2013, while in custody at Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) at Vancouver International Airport awaiting deportation to Mexico is currently being examined by a Coroner’s Inquest and BWSS applied, was denied participant status into the inquest, however after issues of gender violence were illuminated, BWSS applied to the Coroner again and now will appear as a witness Monday, October 6, 2014.
The Inquest has illuminated the ways in which gender violence and precarious immigration status is not understood very well or is being ignored by Canadian officials. Through our work we have learned that it is virtually impossible for a Mexican woman to escape from violence and to make it into Canada, a country known to offer protection to people who are being persecuted, including those who experience gendered persecution. We have heard of women who have been deported to Mexico and have been murdered including in 2009, “Grise” was raped and murdered upon her deportation in Mexico and Veronica Castro who was in immigration detention center in 2012 and deported to Mexico and was murdered five weeks after returning to Mexico. Rosa Elena Arteaga BWSS Manager Direct Service and Clinical Practice will appear as a witness for the Coroner and through her appearance seeks to highlight systemic failures while making important recommendations. Rosa Elena Arteaga was born in Mexico, maintains communication with women’s groups all over Mexico and has participated in many forums to address the issue of missing and murdered women in north Mexico, as well as, the intersection between violence against women and precarious immigration.
“By coming twice to Canada, under the conditions that she did, we can easily conclude that she was seeking life and that life included freedom of violence.” Said Rosa Elena Arteaga, BWSS Manager Direct Services and Clinical Practice.
During the inquest, the testimony of three witnesses spoke to Ms Jimenez’s fear about returning to Mexico due to a domestic situation, which included not only an ex-boyfriend but a much more serious problem that involved fear of being tortured and murdered. And it seems that CBSA treated her removal from Canada as a priority, over following appropriate procedures. It was clear that Ms Jimenez was intending to file a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment, or PRRA, which had to be submitted within 15 days. This is a final opportunity for someone who has no status in Canada to apply to remain because they could face persecution, danger of torture, risk to life, or risk of cruel or unusual treatment or punishment in their country of origin including gender violence.
The federal government has indicated that the possibility of filing a PRRA exists because “Canada is committed to ensuring that people being removed from Canada are not sent to a country where they would be in danger or at risk of persecution.” The CBSA knew that Ms Jimenez intended to file a PRRA because she had told them. But the CBSA officer testified that this was not her priority. In fact, she testified that assisting with a PRRA wasn’t in CBSA’s interest. BWSS questions whether CBSA had discounted Ms Jimenez’s experience of gender violence and the risk of death it appeared she faced returning to Mexico.
“Recognizing that gender violence is a reality for woman such as Lucia.” Said Vicky Law, BWSS Legal Advocate. “We recommend that CBSA follow appropriate procedures so that women are able to access all the possible legal options available in the time frame that is appropriate to fully complete the necessary steps.”

As you stand on the ridge of Garden field and look South West across the Medway valley towards the Ashdown Forest with the sun rising over your shoulder you could be forgiven for thinking that all was right in the world. The future looks clear and bright. If you look closer there is a cloud forming, at this distance it looks innocuous enough, but it’s forming and given the prevailing wind it will be with you by sunset with wind, rain, thunder and lightning. All decent storms these days have a name, this one is called Blue Michael. Michael may well blow himself out but he will quickly be replaced by Red Sue and the message is clear and preparations need to be made.

Chinese astrology , the most ancient astrology method.
I have been studying Chinese astrology for a long time and I am absolutely fascinated by it, as these techniques are based on the long centuries of Eastern wisdom and they have proved themselves to be very precise, practical, insightful and straight to the point. They are very easy to be used in everyday life and can be adapted to your style of life, bringing you harmony, balance and pushing you towards the right path, which is not always what you consciously want, but always something that you really need in your life.
Chinese astrology combines the principle of Yin & Yang, has 12 Chinese signs and 5 elements. The Yin energy is a passive, female one, while Yang is associated with more aggressive and forceful male energy. Too much Yin in your environment can lead to depression and lack of productivity, while too much Yang can bring restlessness and irritation, which is why it is important to keep both energies balanced. In what concerns the five elements used in the Chinese astrology they include : wood, fire, earth, water and metal.
Wod fosters intuition, creativity, flexibility and expansion. Fire stimulates leadership qualities and emotional intercation. Earth enhances strength, stability and practicality. Metal is about acuity, independence and presence of mind. Water encourages spirituality and relaxation.
The Chinese signs of Zodiac are represented by twelve animals in the cycle repeated each twelve years.
According to the legend Buddha invited different animals to visit him and compensated those who came by devoting a year to each one of the animals to have responded to the order. This is a very siplified version that well helps you to get a glimpse of the very complex and captivating science of the Chinese astrology, thousands of combinations are possible in accordance with this elements. But what is even more interesting is the practical side of it, as this can be easily applied in everyday life and followed throughout daily routine to attract good luck. To learn more about these techniques and your Chinese sign you can order Chinese Astrological Reading.
In the first part I will work on your Chinese Astrological Profile, revealing you the profound knowledge about yourself, your relationship with others, your future and your luck :
what is your Chinese sign, how is it calculated and why this eastern wisdom can be of a great use in your love life, career, finances, family relations, future developments, etc...

The second part will contain your Feng Shui Report, where I will give you a practical guide on how to enhance the energy flow around you and start creating the balance, attract luck and success through its techniques. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese technique that is used to improve your life by improving the energy flow in your environment. It can be used in all of the areas of your life for example to attract luck, to progress in your carrier, to achieve the balance and harmony in your life and of course to enhance your romantic relationship.
The most important principle of Feng Shui is the principle of Ch’i, which can be interpreted as a life force or life energy. More generally the principle of Ch’i is used to create the harmonious flow of energy in your environment. You, as well as any other person, and even an animal or any form of life, have your own Ch’i and your energy fields interact when being close to other persons. When you are in long-term relations and you have spent a lot of time together your relations form their own Ch’i energy.
The things described in different Feng Shui techniques are quite simple and easy, and I know that you are asking yourself “How is it going to work?” The feng shui techniques pay very close attention to your environment and this is of the biggest importance to create balance in your everyday life and to understand the importance of maintaining it to make it work.
Another important thing is that all Feng Shui is about energy, I will show you how to keep your energy balanced and help you create the flow necessary for smooth and constant progress in different areas of your life.

London, UK, 2nd March 2022 – Cain International (‘Cain’), the privately held investment firm operating in the United States and Europe, has exchanged contracts with privately owned real estate investor and developer, Firethorn Trust, to acquire a portfolio of UK logistics assets for £550 million.
The Grade A logistics portfolio comprises seven UK sites, totalling 3.25 million sq ft across 22 assets, including two newly built developments, and five consented land sites that are on course for completion in 2022 and H1 2023.
The acquisition represents Cain’s entry into the UK logistics market. As part of the transaction, Firethorn Trust will develop the remaining sites and act as leasing and asset manager across the portfolio on behalf of Cain International.
Peter Mather & Chris Webb, Founding Partners of Firethorn Trust said: “We have created a strong logistics warehousing pipeline over the last three years in very good accessible locations throughout the UK. With a primary focus on developing high-quality, Grade A, sustainable warehousing solutions, our sites are attracting high quality occupiers, which means strong potential for long-term income and capital appreciation.”
“We are delighted to have signed a sale and forward funding agreement with Cain International, a highly regarded global investor, who shares our values and is ready to leverage the development opportunities we have created. We look forward to working with Cain International to grow the UK logistics platform to in excess of £1bn of value over the next 12-18 months.

Daniel Harris, Senior Managing Director and Head of European Investment for Cain International said: “This acquisition was a unique off-market opportunity for us to enter the UK logistics market through a portfolio of considerable scale and quality, as well as with a respected long-term partner. This is part of an exciting period of growth for Cain in the UK and follows our recent announcement that we plan to build a portfolio of PBSA assets worth £1.5 billion.”
“These well-located assets are in a good position to take advantage of both existing and future structural trends as the wider logistics sector looks set to continue its impressive outperformance of recent years. We look forward to working with Firethorn Trust in the coming years to realise our strategy here.”

Friends of Strong held their 10th annual Holiday Market featuring 27 different vendors on Friday Nov. 22. The Medical Center’s Flaum Atrium was transformed into a cute and festive holiday market hall stocked with goods ranging from spiced nuts to bourbon to handmade jewelry.
In order to be a part of the market, each vendor paid a booth fee that went to support Strong Memorial Hospital. The donations and booth fees raised at the Holiday Market contributed to gifts that Friends of Strong provide — nursing education scholarships, layettes, safe newborn swaddles, palliative care program support, transplant patient fund, wheelchairs for patients and visitors, and other life saving services and equipment.
Forget Me Knots Roc is a handmade crochet booth run by Stacy Friedman featuring crochet turtles, hanging crochet jellyfish, and more. Friedman is a pharmacist at Strong Memorial Hospital and a second-year vendor.
“It is nice to see my coworkers come through and have them see all my stuff,” Friedman said. “There’s a lot of good local vendors, and it’s also a fundraiser for Friends of Strong.”
Oshi Ghee, a stand that sells authentic Bengali ghee by Aashna Ahmed, is a first-timer at Friends of Strong Holiday Market. Ahmed sells various flavors such as plain, maple, and garlic. Ahmed participated in the summer’s farmers market and plans on attending more holiday markets in Brooklyn.
“We are Rochester-based and a woman of color-owned business,” Ahmed said. “And, yeah, just shop small, support local, it’s the best thing you can do for holiday shopping right now.”
Other first-time holiday market vendors included Flint’s Maple run by Chad Flint, a fourth-generation syrup producer and culinary teacher, and Tail Wagging Treats, run by Becky Brock Munson. Flint sells a variety of products — mustards, sauces, drinks, maple products,and more — all made in-house in Warsaw, New York. Munson began her business a year and a half ago, selling healthy homemade dog treats that are baked to increase the crunchiness.
“I know that dogs are at home all by themselves, and the hospital staff is working and stuff,” Munson said. “It’s always nice to be able to take a little treat home to them, so they feel extra loved when they come home.”
Karen Herczeg and Kelly Volonino, employees at Strong Memorial Hospital, left the Holiday Market with a purchase of a pair of handmade Buffalo Bills earrings, and artisan vinegar and olive oil.
“It’s a fun event, and it lets us find unique and sort of special little gifts.” Herczeg said. “It starts to get you in the mood for the holidays.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
World Ovarian Cancer Day held annually on 8 May aims to raise awareness about a form of cancer that often goes undetected until it has reached advanced stages.
Ovarian cancer is often referred to as a silent killer and over 1,500 women in Australia are diagnosed each year. While there has been some improvement in survival rates, they still remain below 45%.
Professor Anna deFazio, an eminent expert at The Westmead Institute for Medical Research identified that, “one of the reasons for the low survival rate is that ovarian cancer in one patient is just not the same as ovarian cancer in another patient”. This means that the same treatment doesn’t work for everyone, which makes it crucial to identify the molecular features of a patient’s tumour for the best possible treatment.
Professor Anna deFazio and her team are leading the way to create a new treatment pathway that revolutionises how women with ovarian cancer are treated. The new treatment pathway takes into account the molecular drivers that cause different subtypes of ovarian cancer, and excitingly, new drugs are emerging that can target those alterations.
Through targeted clinical trials, they are screening patient’s tumour in real-time to identify which drugs could work and personalising the treatment accordingly. The groundbreaking approach and research program has the potential to unlock new avenues for ovarian cancer treatment and also for other cancer types as well which can improve outcomes for people impacted by cancer. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Lesley-Ann, a renowned ceramicist of international acclaim, has been the recipient of multiple ceramic awards, including the Corobrick Award in 1982 and 1996. Her area of expertise lies in handcrafted pottery techniques such as:
Pinched Pots: This technique involves molding the clay into shape by pinching it between the thumb and fingers. The result is a pot with a unique texture and shape that is irregular and organic. An example of a pinched pot is the ancient Greek red-figure pottery, which features intricate designs and patterns.
Coiled Pots: This technique involves rolling out coils of clay and then layering them on top of each other to create the shape of the pot. The coils are then smoothed out to create a cohesive surface. An example of coiled pots is the traditional Native American pottery, which is characterized by its geometric shapes and bold colours.
Paddled Pots: This technique involves using a wooden paddle to shape the clay by gently tapping it into place. The result is a pot with a smooth and uniform surface. An example of paddled pots is the Japanese Haniwa pottery, which was used to create figures of animals and people.
Not only has she excelled in creating exquisite hot art pots, but also in producing her personal works using raku.
What is Raku? Raku is a type of pottery that originated in Japan in the 16th century. The word "raku" means "enjoyment" or "ease" in Japanese, and the process of making raku pottery is known for its spontaneity and unpredictability.
Raku is made by firing clay at a relatively low temperature, then quickly removing it from the kiln while it is still hot and placing it in a container filled with combustible material, such as sawdust or newspaper. The heat from the pottery ignites the combustible material, creating a reduction atmosphere that causes the glaze to crackle and the clay body to turn black. The pot is then removed from the container and rapidly cooled, resulting in unique patterns and colours that cannot be replicated. Raku pottery is often characterized by its irregular shapes, rough textures, and metallic finishes.
We are holding an exhibition of Lesley-Ann's works this month from the 30th of March till 15th of April | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If you live in the Pennsylvania area, you might’ve seen commercials put out by Highmark Health in the past couple of years that feature a cat. Designed as a public health campaign (with the original commercials released during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic), the Highmark Health commercials feature a very judgmental kitty that reminds its owners to wash their hands and wear their masks. The health and wellness company went with a cat as their spokesman because cats are highly hygienic animals that are big on cleanliness and excellent at social distancing.
The “spokeskitty” is absolutely adorable (even if it’s judging you), so you might be wondering just what kind of cat breed it is. There’s no definitive answer to the question, as Highmark Health doesn’t seem to have released that information. However, based on the cat’s physical features, the cat is most likely a Ragdoll.
What Is a Ragdoll?
You might not be entirely familiar with the breed, but you’ve likely seen them around before as they are a popular cat. This cat breed got its name from the way they flop into the arms and laps of anyone that holds them. They were created in the 1960s in California by a breeder who was an interesting character—she claimed the Ragdoll breed was influenced by aliens and experimented on by the CIA.
The Ragdoll is a large domestic cat (one of the largest out there) and is known for having exceptionally blue eyes. The hair on their bodies tends to be a light color, while their faces, legs, and tails are darker.
This breed is well-known for its friendly demeanor and laid-back nature. They love to flop on you and snuggle, but they are also incredibly curious kitties that love to figure out how things work. The Ragdoll is also relatively quiet; they don’t meow often, and when they do, it’s a tiny thing.
And, as far as cat breeds go, the Ragdoll is fairly hardy. They are generally healthy and are only at risk for a handful of diseases such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), and cryptococcosis.
One other thing to know about the Ragdoll is that you can easily train them to fetch or come when you call (or even act in a commercial!).
Where Can I Get a Ragdoll?
There are a few places you should be able to find a Ragdoll if you decide you’d like to adopt one.
First and foremost, check with any local animal shelters to see if they have any up for adoption. This is a popular breed, so you might not find one in a regular shelter, but it’s worth a try. A quick search on Google should locate shelters near you. You might also look online at sites such as Pet Finder or Adopt A Pet to see if anything is available.
If a shelter doesn’t work out, you could try looking for a Ragdoll-specific rescue organization. These organizations may be few and far between, but they are out there. Some you might want to look at, depending on your location, include Merlin’s Hope Ragdoll Rescue, Ragdoll Rescue USA, and Ragdoll Rescue.
Your best bet at finding a Ragdoll, though, will likely be through a Ragdoll breeder—though be forewarned, this option will be pricey! However, you’ll want to ensure you’re adopting from a reputable breeder if you go this route. Otherwise, you might get an unhealthy cat or one that isn’t actually a Ragdoll.
Though it’s not 100%, it is most likely that the adorable cat in the Highmark Health commercials is a Ragdoll, as these cats are known for their blue eyes and ability to be trained. The Ragdoll is a lovely, sweet, friendly breed, making them wonderful pets for anyone and everyone. However, the Ragdoll breed is a popular one, making it challenging to find one of your own. There are plenty of places one can look for them, though, so best of luck!

Kylian Mbappe has been urged to seal a move to Manchester United ahead of rivals Liverpool by ex-Premier League star Brian McBride.
Rumours regarding Mbappe’s long-term future have been circulating ever since he burst onto the scene for Monaco a few years back.
And now, it seems like McBride has suggested exactly what the Frenchman should do once he decides to leave PSG.
As per ESPN, via Express, when speaking about Mbappe, McBride stated “Liverpool is a great club, but do you really want Mbappe pressing all over the field? Do you want him defending as much as everyone in that front line at Liverpool does? I don’t think you do.”
McBride then added “Real Madrid and Barcelona – who wouldn’t want to have balls played to you from Messi? Whereas Real Madrid are in a little downward turn.But if you really want to say ‘I’ve brought a club out of mediocrity, that used to be in the prominence, [Manchester United] would be the place to go.”
Whichever club manages to get their hands on Mbappe in the near future are going to be the real winners here, as the Frenchman is absolutely destined for greatness in the world of football for the remainder of his playing career.
The French international has already won numerous league titles and a World Cup despite still being just 20 years old, something that makes us think Mbappe’s going to get his hands on a couple of Ballon D’Ors in the future.
United have a knack for finding and buying world superstars, thus it wouldn’t surprise us one bit if they were to somehow gets their hands on Mbappe and bring him to Old Trafford in the future.
And who knows, Mbappe’s transfer could be the signing the Red Devils need in order to turn their recent fortunes around and become champions of England once again. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
OSWEGO, Ill. (CBS) -- Parents in one suburban school district are wondering what the days to come will bring after a bus driver shortage caused some schools to cancel in-person learning on Tuesday.
As CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot reported, COVID-19 vaccinations may have something to do with all this.
A total of 24 school bus drivers and 15 bus monitors from the Oswego Transportation Association called in sick on Tuesday. Sunday was the start of mandatory proof of COVID-19 vaccinations or a negative test for employees.
The bus company serves 13 elementary schools in Oswego Community Unit School District 308.
Parent Christy Forbes has three children in school in the Oswego district. One in elementary school, another in junior high, and another in high school. While her son attended school in person Tuesday at Boulder Hill Elementary, her two other children did e-learning.
"They should have let the high schoolers and junior high kids, whose parents were able to drive them to school, let them go to school - and if they couldn't, then let them e-learn," Forbes said.
District director of communications and public relations Theresa Komitas said calls about bus drivers calling in sick started coming in as early as 4:30 a.m.
Elementary school students were still able to learn in person Tuesday with some bus schedule shuffling.
"We did have enough drivers to run those routes, though we kind of had to stack the routes," Komitas said. "Some of them had to run a route, drop students off, and get another route and come back again, so we did have students arriving up to an hour and 15 minutes late today."
While elementary school students were learning in person, nearly 9,800 junior high, high school, alternative program students had to learn remotely.
The sick calls coincided with a mandate on Sunday that employees show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test.
"If it is related, certainly the timing is, you know, is coincidental, although we can't say we're connecting the two together," Komitas said.
Staff were told for the past several weeks that they would have to show proof of vaccination or a negative test result starting this week in order to work.
"They should have proof that they have the test, and they should get the shot," said Oswego school grandparent Thomas Siebert.
"Unfortunately, what happened this morning, it puts a lot of parents in a hurry to situate themselves in how they're going to get their kids to school or how they're going to settle them at home," said Oswego school grandparent Maria Mora.
"I would prefer to be back in the building, seeing my peers, and being involved with my teachers, but today was OK," said Oswego High School student Evet Mora, adding that she hopes to be back in school on Wednesday.
The union representing the bus drivers had no comment for this story.
We also asked what Wednesday might hold, and whether there will be sick calls again? The school district does not know, and the only option is to wait and see. But the district said there is a plan in place when that happens. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions have announced they'll donate $1 million to Houston relief efforts from Hurricane Harvey.
The donation is to the American Red Cross, and comes from team owner Martha Ford and the Ford Family on behalf of the Detroit Lions' organization. The announcement came hours before the Lions fourth and final preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night.
The Lions join a growing movement of relief effort donations across the NFL. Those relief efforts have been spearheaded by Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, who has helped raise more than $10 million.
Hurricane Harvey struck the southeastern coast of Texas last weekend taking numerous lives and leaving Houston flooded. A number of Detroit Lions players and coaches have ties to the city of Houston, including starting safety Glover Quin. He played for the Texans from 2009-2012 and still owns a house in the area, however it was not damaged during to the Category 4 hurricane. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It is important to ensure everyone in community has access to testing and medical care
Austin, Texas – Austin Public Health (APH) and Central Health-affiliated CommUnityCare Health Centers are encouraging people with health insurance to seek alternative COVID-19 testing resources to free up space for the uninsured and people without doctors.
Travis County has several other testing resources for COVID-19 open to the public. Individuals should contact their doctor and insurance company to determine the location to take the test. In the Austin-Travis County community, individuals can get a COVID-19 test at pharmacies, urgent care centers, and other private testing locations. Individuals with insurance should not be charged for the standard PCR COVID-19 test per the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the CARES Act, both passed by Congress in March.
Last week, Austin Public Health, CommUnityCare, and Austin Regional Clinic conducted approximately 11,000 COVID-19 tests. All three organizations are working on long-term testing plans to ensure they can sustain the higher demand for testing.
“Testing in Travis County is not keeping up with demand,” said Jaeson Fournier, CommUnityCare CEO. “Our drive-up testing sites open at 6:30 a.m. However, on Monday, we were at capacity before we opened. We want to continue testing those with nowhere else to go, but we simply can’t test everyone.”
CommUnityCare Health Centers offer COVID-19 testing free to people without insurance. When testing capacity is reached for the day, the site must close. Tests are for established CommUnityCare patients, the uninsured and those without an established provider. While the tests are available without an appointment, it is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
APH strongly recommends self-isolating as soon as the decision is made to get a COVID-19 test. Additionally, those who are showing symptoms related to COVID-19 need to self-isolate as soon as possible. Based on APH’s testing limits, testing for those who have COVID-19 symptoms, who are at a higher risk of suffering from more severe symptoms or death, who are part of critical infrastructure or congregate settings, and vulnerable populations must be prioritized.
“We strongly recommend that those waiting to take a COVID-19 test, as well as those waiting for their test results, self-isolate in order to prevent the spread of the disease,” said Dr. Mark Escott, Interim Austin-Travis County Health Authority.
Dr. Escott added: “We understand that it may be difficult, with Austin Public Health and CommUnityCare sites at capacity every day, to get tested quickly. We are encouraging Austinites with health insurance to go through their doctors and utilize the tests provided at pharmacies and clinics around Austin to ensure that we have capacity for everyone to be tested quickly so we can slow the spread of COVID-19.”
Individuals can take the APH self-assessment to schedule testing at austintexas.gov/covid19. Those without access to the internet can call the APH nurse hotline for an assessment at 512-972-5560. The hotline provides service in over 200 languages. For more information about the City of Austin’s response to COVID-19, visit austintexas.gov/covid19.

stream across a network, adapt video so it can be viewed on any device or
application (as well as make it more easily navigable), make it easier to share
video to more devices (in particular mobile devices), and accelerate live and
on-demand video delivery across the enterprise to branch offices and remote
of the key elements of this transformation is introducing video analytics into
Cisco Show and Share, the vendor’s webcasting and video sharing application.
The video analytics feature will be able to identify speakers based on their
voice imprint. Once speakers have been identified in a video, they will be
tagged in any videos in which they appear. Additionally, videos can be tagged
with keywords so they can be more easily searched. The analytics platform is
language independent, but keyword tagging is currently only available in

As both a faculty member and CRS parent, I have been impressed by the incredible sense of community. CRS means frequent hugs from students and cross-campus shout-outs, seeing curiosity, wonder, and discovery light up faces, and being a part of the joyful learning that the school embodies.
Becca joined CRS in 2012 as a learning specialist. In this role, she oversees learning support for the school, including conducting screenings and coordinating learning support for students both at CRS and outside the school. In addition, she works directly with students in Grades 4 – 8 through learning groups, classroom support, and one-on-one, and also works closely with faculty and parents. Prior to CRS, Becca was a learning specialist at the Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School in Chicago. Her experience also includes teaching second grade and designing and implementing family programming and hands-on experiences at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio.

Sheldon Phillip Jackson was born on 27th September,1986. He is a wicket-keeper batsman. In domestic cricket, he represents Saurashtra. He is from Bhavnagar, Gujarat.
He was first spotted by Joydeep Mukherjee, the former Bengal player and was signed by the franchise Kolkata Knight Riders in 2009. In the 2012-13 Ranji trophy season, he made four fifties and three centuries. He played a crucial knock of back to back hundreds in the knockout matches. This was never an easy task against teams like Karnataka and Punjab and that too in the quarter final and semi final respectively. Not only this was his individual achievement but also he helped his team reach the Ranji trophy final for the first time in history. His performance helped him get into the India A side. In 2015-16, he was part of Saurashtra's title winning team. In that year itself, his unbeaten 59 against the Rest of India pulled off the third highest successful run chase in the Indian domestic cricket history. In the shorter format, he keeps wicket for his team.
At 25, Sheldon thought of quitting cricket as he was not getting into the Ranji team playing eleven and had to warm the bench for years. It was all doom and gloom for him. This is the moment when he decided to quit his cricketing career. Then one of his close friends suggested that he give himself another year and see what happens to him. He also assured him that he will provide him a job in his work factory if that year doesn't go well but he wanted him to pursue cricket another year and test the water. This advice from his friend gave him assurance plus some extra motivation to continue cricket. Luckily, that year things started to change not slowly but completely for him. He scored a lot of runs in domestic cricket and got picked by the Royal Challengers Bangalore later in that year. His cricketing career got revived and from then on he did not have to look back. He recalled that if he hadn't been a cricketer, he would have been a panipuri seller. His cricketing career turned 360 degrees and he became one of the popular names in the domestic circuit.
This season he is playing for Kolkata Knight Riders. It has been a mixed season for him till now. Hope it turns out to be a great one for him. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

ABB India automates first India-Bangladesh cross-border oil pipeline
20 Oct 2023
ABB India has supplied Numaligarh Refinery Ltd with integrated automation and control solutions to monitor and manage a 130 km cross-border oil pipeline between India and Bangladesh
The project scope includes installing ABB Ability™ SCADAvantage, Remote Terminal Units (RTU), and a leak detection system
Centralized monitoring and real-time data access ensures a high degree of safety and efficiency of the pipeline network
ABB India has delivered integrated automation and control solutions to enable the safe, secure, and reliable operation of the 130-kilometer Indo-Bangla Friendship Pipeline (IBFPL), which will carry diesel from India to Bangladesh. The cross-border pipeline was jointly inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on March 18. With a potential capacity of one million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA), it will enable Bangladesh to access large volumes of energy to meet its growing domestic demand.
ABB Ability™ SCADAvantage, Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), and leak detection system will allow Numaligarh Refinery Ltd (NRL) to remotely monitor and control vital pipeline parameters such as flow, pressure, and temperature, as well as detect leaks. ABB solutions will provide real-time data on the performance of the pipeline network by generating reports, history sheets, critical messages, and alarms, all of which will maximise efficiency and safety.
The diesel will be transported from NRL’s marketing terminal at Siliguri, to the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation's oil depot in Parbatipur. Approximately 6 km of the pipeline – which is the first of its type between the two countries - will be within the territory of India, with the remainder within the territory of Bangladesh.
“We are proud to be associated with NRL in this landmark project, which will be critical in ensuring fuel security in Bangladesh. The ABB Ability™ SCADAvantage system will enable safe and reliable monitoring of the pipeline network, allowing operators to access real-time data and make more informed decisions,” said G Balaji, SVP, Head of Energy Industries, ABB India “The rapid evolution of automation and IT in the energy industry requires a high level of expertise and resources to manage, maintain, and ensure the security and optimization of oil pipelines and facilities at all times. ABB is committed to meeting these evolving needs.”
ABB Ability™ SCADAvantage enables the pipeline to operate safely and within its design parameters, reducing the risk of any adverse incidents. It helps in acquiring data from remote locations distributed across different geographies and supports the efficient identification of leakage volume. ABB India has a track record in pipeline automation for cross-country projects, including the Indo-Nepal petroleum pipeline, which was the first of its kind in South Asia when it opened in 2019.
“With ABB's system, we can effectively monitor and optimize our pipeline operations by having access to real-time information, detailed analysis, and timely interventions,” said Rahul Goswami, Chief Manager Projects, Numaligarh Refinery Ltd. “ABB is a reliable partner in the field of automation, and their prior experience with cross-country pipeline projects proved beneficial.”

Landlords retain property management companies to protect their interests. Landlord Inspections are an important part of this process. At Gulf Coast Property Management, we perform three types of landlord inspections. All inspections are performed by Gulf Coast Property Management employees. We use the latest generation software. Landlord Inspections are a condition of our leases and an essential part of the service we perform for landlords. The 3 landlord inspections are as follows:
Landlord Inspections #1 Move-in Inspection
This is an extremely detailed inspection that is performed prior to move-in. We use 360° technology to record the condition of the whole property. This inspection creates a baseline to which all parties can refer to for future inspections, and when a tenant moves out. Both the tenants and the landlord receive copies of this inspection for future reference. We also encourage tenants to take their own photos and notes. Any documentation that the tenant hopes to later rely on should be shared with their property manager at the time of recording.
Landlord Inspections #2 Periodic or Renewal Inspection
Unless there are special circumstances, a tenant living in a property managed by Gulf Coast can expect two periodic inspections per year.
Periodic inspections are light inspections, rarely taking more than 10 minutes. The purpose is to record the property condition and make sure the terms of the lease are being followed. This includes checking on maintenance obligations. i.e. ensuring air filters are being changed regularly. The inspection also includes checking for unauthorized occupants or pets.
The periodic or renewal inspections are the only landlord inspections that occur when the property is occupied. We understand that inspections can feel intrusive, especially when a property manager uses photos to record the condition. In preparation for the inspection, we encourage tenants to make sure the property is in a clean and tidy state. Landlords review inspections and often make renewal decisions on how the property is being looked after. Property managers have zero interest in the personal belongings of tenants and would prefer that tenants put personal things away before an inspection.
Tenants can be present during these periodic inspections, however their presence isn’t necessary. We will always provide tenants with fair notice of an inspection time and date. At Gulf Coast Property Management, we consider a fair notice to be a minimum of 48 hours. The time and dates are fixed, as the inspection is incorporated into the property manager’s larger schedule.
Property inspections cannot be performed if pets are not secured or if there are unaccompanied minors. Tenants would be charged for rescheduled inspections.
The periodic inspection is also a good opportunity for the tenant to raise any maintenance concerns they may have.
Landlord Inspections #3 Move-out Inspection
Once the tenant vacates the property, the move out inspection takes place. It is a detailed inspection which compares the move-out condition to the move-in condition. The decision to make a charge on the security deposit is based on the comparison between the move-in and move-out inspections.
Before vacating, we encourage all tenants to refer to the original move-in inspection. The aim is to return the property to the baseline condition. It is a misconception that property managers and landlords want to retain security deposits. Real estate investment depends on occupancy, and when a property requires extensive work it holds up the occupancy process and delays the landlord’s revenue stream.

DC FanDome: The Good, The Bad, and Everything In-Between
After trailing in the footsteps of blockbuster studios such as Marvel pulling off Hulk-sized superhero films, Warner Brothers' DCEU seems to make big strides for their future after their reveals during DC FanDome's first half.
Wonder Woman 1984 is finally up to bat as it releases a new trailer that finally sets up Kristin Wiig's Cheetah for her big debut, even at a passing glance, and the mediocrity of her design is enough to appease fans that have been clambering for a glimpse of new Wonder Woman content. The new golden, gilded, glistening, and gaudy costume for Wonder Woman herself is given another glance, and it's hard to place the eagle-inspired armor as heroic or hideous.
Black Adam struggles to entertain and engage an audience as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson narrates as Black Adam over the concept art presented as an animated series of events. To un-impress audiences, even more, Noah Centineo has been cast as Atom Smasher. At one point, the preview completely replicates a scene from Black Panther. It's a reach, with subpar concept art and poor rendering, and can't sell itself convincingly to DC fans.
Gotham Knights is the long-awaited new Batman game from WB Montreal, the studio that created Batman: Arkham Origins from the ever so popular Batman Arkham game series. Banding together Nightwing, Red Hood, Batgirl, and Robin as four playable characters to face off with the shadowy Court of Owls. After years of impatience, WB Montreal surprises and delights with their game announcement.
Shazam 2 earns the title of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, which implies that the sequel will dive deeper into the lore surrounding the six Gods that gifted young Billy Batson with his powers. Comedian Sinbad's confusing cameo on the panel could possibly mean that he's landed a role for himself, or that he's riffing off of Kazaam (1996). Either way, the Shazam sequel will strike theaters on November 4, 2022.
Years of hardcore campaigning and an unrelenting fanbase calling for Zack Snyder's four-hour-long cut of Justice League have paid off, as today, another trailer was unleashed after Snyder littering clues across his Twitter. Brimming with never-seen-before clips of Snyder's intended vision, untainted by Joss Whedon's intrusive cross-directing. From Superman's black suit to Flash's time travel, there's plenty to unpack in the Justice League's re-release.
James Gunn is known for his stellar breakthrough work on Guardians of the Galaxy and is gearing up to rehash the universally despised Suicide Squad (2016) into something that is predictably showstopping. Adorned with an impressive cast stacked with big names and new faces alike, this vibrant, classic-comic variant takes a hot new perspective on a maverick team.
Andy Muschietti's plans to toss an even more sideways curveball deepen as his adaptation of the Flashpoint comics will pave the way for Eza Miller and their stand-alone film forThe Flash will feature two iconic Batmen. Both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton will return as the World's Greatest Detectives alongside the Speedster himself, Barry Allen. It is revealed that Affleck's Batman plays an emotional role in the film and that Allen's new suit is a gift from his friend Batman - but there is no indication on which one just yet.
Brooding, jaded, and haunted, Robert "Battinson" Pattinson shocks hopefuls in his first trailer for The Batman. Director Matt Reeves doesn't back away from shooting for a blackened, dark, and unforgiving take on the Caped Crusader. Colin Farrel's Penguin, Zoe Kravitz's Catwoman, and Paul Dano's Riddler can all be pinpointed, but Reeves is clever enough to keep them beclouded away. Some criticize the angle of the film, claiming it's another tale of misunderstanding; others are quick to praise Reeves' vision. Either way, the film is only one-fourth of the way complete and looks bone-chillingly brutal.
DC Fandome's first run has ended on a high, conclusive note and will return in exactly one month, September 22, bringing along more exciting releases that will be more televison-centric compared to a film-focused convention. There may be some time to spare, but that doesn't mean that the excitement surrounding the second part will simmer down anytime soon. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Sunday drivers fail to lower speed limit near Kohler-Andrae State Park
Efforts create more problems than solving the perception of reckless driving
TOWN OF WILSON — Sunday drivers who live in the Town of Wilson attempted for nearly a year to lower the speed limit on a stretch of road near Kohler-Andrae State Park.
Erik Thelen first proposed lowering the speed limit from 55 MPH to 45 MPH on County Road V between South 12th Street and South Business Drive, also known as County Road OK. One reason to lower the speed limit, according to Thelen, was homes with children. However, unlike many homes in the City of Sheboygan, homes along County Road V have large backyards, where children should be playing.
The Sheboygan County Highway Department conducted a speed study and the county’s Traffic Safety Committee reviewed the data and denied the request earlier this year. The study showed speeding was not an issue, 53 MPH was the average speed of vehicles. Not only did Thelen want the speed limit reduced but he opposed the construction of the Kohler Company golf course north of the state park.1
In recent years, there has been a movement by Democrats in some Wisconsin cities to lower speed limits, install speed bumps, roundabouts and reduce lanes of traffic. In Milwaukee, several major streets have been reduced to a single lane in each direction.2 In Madison, a number of roads have had their speed limits lowered.3 Both have created more problems than solving the perception of reckless driving.
Here in the Bratwurst Capital of the World, a group called Sheboygan Active Transportation has advocated for protected bike lanes along the city’s main thoroughfare which would eliminate a lane of traffic in each direction. They have also suggested narrowing roads with already high traffic volume. This group has organized bicycle rides that overtake streets, impeding the flow of motorists and creating traffic backups. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Step 1: Find out the eviction process and what housing law arguments you might have
Check what housing law defences you have
Discrimination law isn't the only argument you can use to try to stop your eviction. There are other defences under housing law that everyone can use, whether they have a protected characteristic or not.
The first step is to find out what type of tenancy you have, and then, based on your type of tenancy:
the process the landlord has to use legally to evict you
whether or not you can challenge your eviction
what housing law arguments you might have
whether you defend it in the sheriff court or the First-tier Tribunal
Housing law defences might include, depending on your circumstances, that the:
landlord hasn’t used the correct eviction procedure
eviction isn’t reasonable
grounds of eviction the landlord is using aren’t valid
You should always check whether these are available to you first before checking whether you have a discrimination argument. If there aren't any housing law defences that apply in your situation you can just use discrimination law alone.
Check you're facing eviction for the housing law arguments for your tenancy type.
If you’re not sure what type of tenancy you have
You may have either a public or private tenancy, depending on who your landlord is. There are types of tenancies within these broad categories.
Your tenancy agreement will usually state the tenancy type but bear in mind this might not be correct.
If you rent from a council or housing association (public sector landlords), you will normally have a Scottish secure tenancy or sometimes a short Scottish secure tenancy.
If you rent from an individual or through a letting agent, you're a private tenant. Check types of private tenancies.
You can also use the tenancy checker tool on the Shelter Scotland website and/or get help to determine what kind of tenancy you have. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Greetings. So here’s a story and you know how much I like telling stories.
Last Saturday I casually went about my day. There were errands to be done. I also wanted to stop by the Art shop to stock up on watercolour paper. On my way there, I saw that one of the local vintage shops in Islington had a respectable queue of people outside and a big banner saying: Sale!
Intrigued, I approached a woman and inquired whether the shop is closing down. “Oh, no, the reply came. Twice a year they have a sale where everything they display in the shop that day costs £1.”
I looked at the time. It was 11.58am and the shop opened at midday. What would you have done? Well, I thought, I have nothing to loose. I’ll go inside, have a quick rummage around, satisfy my curiosity and then continue with my day.
I had no expectations or big hopes. Midday came, the shop opened and a heap of women fell upon the goods. I calmly stood at one side observing everyone while they frantically chose items. At a far corner I spotted an amber vessel. It measured around 30×25 cm, so a decent size and, to my surprise, no one seemed to be interested in it. I waited for things to calm down a little, for people to disperse and then strategically made my move!
I thought this was a fine purchase for Colourliving HQ do you agree? I bought another amber small stem vase but that’s for another story for another day:-)
So, as the queue at the till was rather long I reserved my vessel by paying for it and went on to do my errands. On my return and an empty shop (yay), I chatted to the guys who were wrapping my new purchase in newspaper. “So, what will you put in it?” one of them asked me. “Err, I don’t know yet, maybe a plant…” came my reply. I was also secretly thinking about a Terrarium… ” I kind of think it would lend itself as a home for goldfish” one of the guys muttered.
And an idea was born. I have never ever before thought about either having a pet (difficult in a small London flat with being out a lot), let alone some goldfish. I was on a mission, starting with finding the nearest pet shop.
Once located I asked the shop assistant to give me a tutorial of how to keep goldfish and not let them die. You might laugh at this, dear readers, but like keeping plants alive I believe there is knowledge and certain skills involved. After a lengthy tutorial, involving instructions on how not to place the bowl near a radiator, not let any sunshine come through, not to overfeed, to regularly change the water et cetera, I made my way home with my new buddies.
First things first. You have to wash the gravel. Like the colour? The choice was between neon pink or yellow! Oh, and forgive me, but I just had to do an artistic shot here.
Next, you need some greens for Oxygen and voilà, the goldfish have a ‘home’. Now, traditionally people use clear glass bowls so they can see their swimming pets. I rather like my tinted version. Firstly it goes with the Colourliving decor but I also figured that it must be quite nice for my new companions to see the world through tinted lenses.
Meet Rupert and Clarissa (actually I don’t know their sex:-)
So far, so good. They are firmly installed in my office space. I know how and when to feed them, I know how to clean out the water and hopefully I will manage to look after them… wish me luck.

It is not uncommon for consumers who are having problems with their comfort systems and utility bills to call me for advice. When they do, I refer them to one of the many HVAC contractors I know and have trained. Oftentimes those consumers call me back either to gripe about how poorly the contractor handled selling their job, or to rave about what a great job they did. Let's take a look at what has caused some salespeople to hit home runs while others are striking out.
Show Up on Time
A qualified customer’s time is valuable. When you show up late or even too early, you are basically showing disregard for that customer. Strike one. As we all know, three strikes and you're out.
Recently, Daryl Works of Florida hit a home run. Here’s the back-story: A country club owner read an article I wrote that described a kitchen exhaust issue that was similar to one they were living with, so they called me. The country club was in Florida so I called Daryl to see if he could help. He happened to be just around the corner. So Daryl called the customer and was standing in their kitchen within 15 minutes.
He tested in, diagnosed the problem, prescribed the solution, and the customer bought in. The job was completed on time the next week and the relationship continues to flourish as Daryl moves throughout the building solving one comfort and efficiency problem after another throughout their facility. Now that's how it’s supposed to work. He showed up on time and has been repeatedly rewarded for performing as he should.
Should a real emergency cause you to be more than five minutes late, a quick call on your cell phone will put your customer at ease and show that you respect them and their time. But understand, even five minutes late with a phone call can still be strike one with many customers.
Deliver Your Solution on Time
As you continue to move into and through the job, timeliness will continue to remain important to building a relationship with your customer.
Good business also requires a time commitment from you concerning how long you will be at the home or their company. If you tell the customer you'll need an hour and a half to assess their needs and determine a scope of work, you need to be done in an hour and a half.
If you showed up late and took longer than you said to assess the job, you could be at strike two before you ever get around to writing a proposal. Your odds aren't looking so good with this customer. What's more important is that a little planning and execution on your part could have easily avoided both of these strikes.
If your practice is to return for a second visit to present your solutions and pricing, set a firm appointment to return and show up on time and stay only as long as you arranged for. If your presentation is running longer than you scheduled, ask permission to use more of their time.
Should you be late or postpone the appointment, you may be walking in with three strikes and you won't even know it.
If you have any experience at all, you'll remember those calls where you couldn't connect with the customer no matter what you did. All you're doing is delivering a price that confirms the customer's decision to buy their system upgrade from one of your competitors. You started at home plate with three strikes and were already out. Yeah, I've been there.
There are times when a sale cannot be closed on the first visit and a follow-up appointment is needed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Australian Agriculture Minister to hold urgent FMD talks with Indonesian counterparts
Federal Agriculture Minister Murray Watt will fly to Jakarta on Wednesday for urgent talks with Indonesian authorities as foot and mouth disease continues to ravage the archipelago.
Mr Watt will hold face-to-face talks with his Indonesian counterparts in a bid to assess the country’s FMD response and determine how Australia can help contain the spread of the extremely infectious livestock disease.
In what Mr Watt described as a “joint effort from government and industry”, he will be joined by Australia’s chief veterinary officer Mark Schipp and National Farmers’ Federation president Fiona Simson.
Mr Watt said the two-day visit was the next step in the Federal Government’s efforts to combat FMD after biosecurity measures were ramped up at Australia’s borders last week.
“The Albanese Government is taking strong action on FMD at home and abroad,” he said.
“This two-pronged approach is about strengthening our biosecurity defences at home, and supporting Indonesia to manage and contain the outbreak there.”
New biosecurity measures introduced last week included extra screening of travellers, luggage and mail arriving from Indonesia, and extra training for airport biosecurity staff.
Biosecurity officers have been boarding all planes arriving from Indonesia and providing FMD advice to travellers, while detector dogs trained to sniff out contaminated meat and animal products have been deployed at Darwin and Cairns airports.
Detector dogs were already stationed at all other international airports in Australia.
Additional signage and flyers have also been placed at airports, with the Government launching a social media campaign outlining FMD risks and precautions and informing travellers of their biosecurity responsibilities.
FMD has been spreading rapidly throughout Indonesia since early May and was confirmed in Bali on July 5, bringing the country’s total to more than 230,000 cases across at least 22 provinces.
Mr Watt, who will also be joined by other senior departmental officials, said the “high-level delegation” demonstrated a “united stand” between government and the farm sector to keep Australian agriculture safe from the “potentially devastating disease”.
“FMD would have a significant impact on Australian agriculture if it reaches our shores, and we are taking practical measures to prevent that,” he said.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said Australia had so far committed $910,000 to Indonesia for “support on vaccine procurement and for communication campaigns and materials”.
“Vaccine is being rolled out by Indonesian authorities on a daily basis,” the spokeswoman said.
“The exact amounts for FMD assistance... are subject to further discussion with Indonesian officials.”
Indonesia is home to about 16.6m head of cattle — including some 600,000 in Bali — with the first vaccinations having commenced in Java on June 25.
About 800,000 doses have been distributed so far according to Indonesian-based veterinarian and analyst Ross Ainsworth.
FMD does not pose a threat to humans but affects all cloven-hoofed animals, including cattle, sheep, goats and pigs.
An Australian outbreak of FMD would cost the nation’s economy up to $80b over 10-years, according to the Federal Government’s commodity forecaster ABARES.
Mr Watt will also meet with Indonesia’s Ministers for Agriculture, Disaster Management and Fisheries, and with leading Indonesian agribusiness representatives.

The secondary market for retail-focused alternatives has not yet developed like its institutional counterpart. While the growth of retail-focused alts has mirrored that of the institutional market, the availability of secondary liquidity has not yet emerged as a viable option to serve the best interests of shareholders and LPs.
The wealth management market is highly fragmented across independent broker-dealers, registered investment advisors, and wirehouses, and further governed by the client-advisor relationship that is critical to portfolio oversight. This dynamic, coupled with the smaller investment size and transactional complexity of investing in alternatives, can make the path to liquidity seem challenging to navigate. As more traditional institutional secondaries managers have grown larger, they are also unable to accommodate some of the smaller liquidity needs of certain family offices and wealth managers.

“To only concentrate on the skill of birdcage crafting is mind-narrowing, whereas the repair process could reveal the versatility of the craft.”
Since | Early 1950
Chan Lok Choi, commonly known as “Master Chan”, is one of the remaining birdcage craftsmen in Hong Kong. Born in 1942, he had been learning birdcage crafting from his uncle since 1955, and afterwards, he apprenticed under Birdcage Master Cheuk Hong.
Master Chan started crafting birdcages when he was in his teens, and in the 70s, he was already running his own shop in Hong Lok Street, Mong Kok. Hong Lok Street used to be the place to go to for selling birds, birdcages and related products, and hence it was known as the “Bird Street”. In the latter half of the 90s, when the original site of the “Bird Street” was demolished, to continue with his interest, Master Chan relocated to the bird garden at Yuen Po Street in Mong Kok. Nowadays, Chan Lok Choi no longer crafts birdcages for his customers, instead, he specializes in the repair work.

The Big Bash League 2020 is closing into the business end and for that reason the table has been wide open now. With every match creating a chaos in the points table and making it tougher for each other, we have the much-awaited Sydney derby set to take place, this Wednesday. The 38th match of the BBL 2020 is set to feature the Sydney Thunders and Sydney Sixers taking on each other at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.
Thunders find themselves placed in a comfortable second position but they would know the other teams have been catching up. Thunders are just two points away from the table toppers- Sydney Sixers. A win here for Thunders would see them race pass their rivals.
The teams will be meeting each other for the first time this season. Though on the head to head basis, the Sixers hold a supreme edge. The teams have played 17 matches between them and the Sixers have tasted victory on 11 occasions, the stat would definitely give them the added boost going into this encounter.
Thunder will come into this match on the back of a defeat. Callum Ferguson and Co. fell 17 runs short against the Perth Scorchers. The Sixers on the other side come on back of a thrilling 3-wicket win over the Brisbane Heat, which was once again led by their star player- Daniel Christian.
In the clash of the table-toppers. Who do you think will prevail and claim the number one spot?
Match Toss Time: 18:45 Local (13:15 IST)
Match Start Time: 19:15 Local (13:45 IST)
Match Venue: Manuka Oval, Canberra
The conditions are quite in favor of cricket as the 10 percent precipitation chance does not look threatening. The temperature is expected to be hovering in the 30-24 degree Celsius and the humidity at the peak is likely to touch the 35 percent mark.
The Canberra pitch as we know is a batting paradise as we saw in the last match here the Thunders went on to score 219 runs. The match is expected to be a high-scoring encounter. The overcast conditions might help the pacers in the initial stages of the innings but then it is expected to be the batsmen show. The team winning the toss should be looking to bat first and let the scoreboard pressure do the trick.
Thunder would be feeling they are a batsman short after the loss against Scorchers and for that reason would be looking to replace Adam Milne with the all-rounder Olivier Davies. Brendan Doggett had a dream start to this season by picking up 4 wickets in his quota, he would be looking for more in the upcoming matches. Rest assured the team looks solid at the top-order and the inclusion of one more batsman is likely to solve their issue.
Sixers on the other side unlike the Thunders bat deep. At 54 for 4 in the first 9 overs, the Heat well in course to win their 5th game of the season but it was once again the brilliance of the star Australian all-rounder Daniel Christian which took them over the line rather comfortably at the end. They have been doing an exceptional job in this season so far and are expected to feature the same combination for this derby.

Advanced Telescopic Masts: Revolutionizing Search and Rescue Operations
A successful search and rescue mission takes sophisticated coordination and the right tools. Below we will discuss how telescopic masts can aid your efforts.
During search and rescue missions, there will be times when you need the right equipment in the right place at the right time. Ensuring you can elevate necessary equipment rapidly, and without hassle, is imperative to saving as many lives as possible. What better way to do that than with a telescopic mast?
This article will address some of the many different ways a telescopic mast can assist you as a part of search and rescue missions. You can then focus on more important matters, such as the rescue effort itself.
Search and Rescue
While using a drone for search and rescue is becoming more common, there are still many limitations as to when you can deploy it. Incidents with rain, snow, windy conditions, at night without a waiver, and over crowds of people all affect how a drone can operate.
In these situations, having an elevated tool designed for outdoor operations like The RATT telescopic mast allows you to safely deploy it on any vehicle with a 2×2″ hitch receiver, or mount it freestanding on a tripod.
The RATT masts are also rated for MIL-STD-810 and can withstand extreme weather conditions such as winds of over 20 MPH, heavy rain, snow, and blowing sand. Additionally, some masts have internal cables that coil up when the device is not in use. This allows you to connect the mast to a power source without trailing wires that could become a hazard.
Elevated lighting platforms are one of the more common uses for a telescopic mast. They can assist in search and rescue missions by elevating spotlights so they can target locations far away and over obstacles.
These lighting solutions not only point far away, but can also light up locations close to home. An elevated mast can light your headquarters or temporary site operations for a search and rescue mission. These lights can also act as a beacon for people trying to find their way home.
In situations where you are at the scene of an accident or critical incident at night, you may need to light up the area in a way that is fast and safe. The speed and ease of elevating a telescopic mast in this situation is imperative and will allow you to focus on the situation at hand.
When faced with a fire in an elevated and dangerous area, you want to have visibility of the situation from a position of safety. Using a mast with an attached camera allows you to view the hazard from a safe distance, keeping you and your team safe. A telescopic mast gives you the advantage of assessing and reporting danger safely, allowing you to make calls that save lives.
Anyone with minimal training can raise the mast themselves. While they elevate the mast in under 2 minutes, other personnel can focus on containing and suppressing the fire.
Temporary Antenna Mast
Depending on the location of the search and rescue effort, you may be in a position where you do not have a strong cellular connection. You need quick communication and access to data during a crisis situation, so the ability to improve signal is imperative.
If you are performing a search and rescue mission in a remote location, there may not be a cell tower close enough to provide a strong signal. This problem can be solved by elevating an antenna mast or cellular signal booster antenna using a telescopic mast. If the cell tower is close enough to get a signal, the booster will help improve your connectivity and data speeds.
CCTV Video Surveillance
There may be times when you need to respond to dangerous situations such as looting or rioting. In these circumstances, having a portable video surveillance tower with a camera that records the area is very important.
In specific situations, you can boost this capability through the use of thermal imaging. When searching a large area of debris, being able to see heat sources can mean the difference between life and death for some of the victims.
A thermal camera can even see through smoke and find areas where the ground is unnaturally warm. It will display unseen hazards that will ultimately keep the search and rescue team safe.
The RATT telescopic mast can even hold multiple pieces of equipment simultaneously. You can easily attach both a surveillance camera and a radio antenna atop the 30-50′ tower. This will multiply the usefulness of your equipment in the field.

In veterinary medicine, the successful management of animal health relies heavily on the use of both antibiotics and vaccines. Antibiotics, such as florfenicol powder, are crucial for treating and preventing bacterial infections, while vaccines are essential for protecting animals against viral and bacterial diseases. However, the potential interactions between antibiotics and vaccines are an area of concern for veterinarians. This article explores the implications of using florfenicol powder alongside common vaccines, highlighting the importance of understanding these interactions for effective veterinary practice.
Understanding Florfenicol Powder
Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing bacterial growth and proliferation. Due to its favorable safety profile compared to traditional antibiotics, florfenicol is commonly used in livestock to prevent and treat bacterial diseases.
The Role of Vaccines in Animal Health
Vaccination plays a vital role in controlling infectious diseases in livestock and companion animals. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce a protective response against specific pathogens, providing immunity without causing the disease. Common vaccines in veterinary practice include those for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), and canine parvovirus.
Potential Interactions Between Florfenicol and Vaccines
Impact on Immune Response: The primary concern regarding the concurrent use of florfenicol powder and vaccines is the potential for the antibiotic to interfere with the immune response. Some studies suggest that certain antibiotics can suppress immune function, which may affect the efficacy of vaccines. This interaction could lead to suboptimal vaccine responses, leaving animals vulnerable to infections.
Timing of Administration: To minimize potential interactions, it is crucial to consider the timing of florfenicol administration relative to vaccination. Veterinarians often recommend spacing out the administration of antibiotics and vaccines to allow the immune system to respond optimally. For instance, administering florfenicol shortly before or after vaccination may impede the body’s ability to mount an effective immune response.
Specific Vaccine Considerations: Different vaccines may have varying susceptibilities to interactions with antibiotics. Live attenuated vaccines, which rely on a robust immune response to confer protection, may be more affected by concurrent antibiotic therapy than inactivated vaccines. Understanding the specific vaccine being administered is vital in determining the potential impact of florfenicol.
Guidelines for Veterinary Practice
Consultation with Veterinarians: Veterinarians should evaluate the health status of the animal and the necessity of antibiotic treatment before vaccination. This assessment will help determine whether it is appropriate to use florfenicol and if so, when to administer it relative to vaccination.
Establishing Protocols: Veterinary practices should establish clear protocols for the use of florfenicol powder in conjunction with vaccinations. These protocols can include recommended waiting periods between antibiotic and vaccine administration, ensuring that animals receive the full benefit of both treatments.
Monitoring Animal Response: After administering florfenicol and vaccines, monitoring the health and response of the animals is crucial. Any adverse reactions or signs of reduced vaccine efficacy should be documented, allowing veterinarians to refine treatment protocols and provide better guidance for future cases.
Education and Communication: Educating livestock producers about the importance of timing when administering florfenicol and vaccines is essential. Clear communication about the potential interactions and their implications for animal health will foster better compliance and understanding.
The interaction of florfenicol powder with common vaccines poses important considerations for veterinarians and livestock producers. While florfenicol plays a vital role in preventing and treating bacterial diseases, understanding its potential impact on vaccine efficacy is crucial for maintaining animal health. By establishing protocols, consulting with veterinarians, and monitoring animal responses, the veterinary community can optimize the use of florfenicol and vaccines, ensuring that animals receive comprehensive protection against infectious diseases. As research continues to explore these interactions, ongoing education and awareness will be key to promoting effective veterinary practices and enhancing overall animal health. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The report compiled by Special Counsel Robert Mueller regarding the 2016 presidential election is expected to be released later this week, according to reports.
Speculation about the report being made public has swirled for weeks. Attorney General William Barr released a four-page summary of Mueller’s findings in late April, and since then there have been calls for more of it to be made public.
In his letter, Barr said Mueller’s team did not find that Russia and President Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with one another and while not making a determination about obstruction of justice, said the evidence did not “exonerate” the president.
The report will include redactions, according to the Washington Post, including grand jury material, information that could compromise sources, and information that could infringe on personal privacy of third parties.

Crime lab ordered to explain wait
Published 1:09 am Saturday, October 27, 2018
A Lincoln County judge has ordered a physician from the state crime lab to appear in court and answer one question — what’s taking so long?
Lincoln County Circuit Judge Mike Taylor on Monday signed a show cause order demanding Dr. J. Brent Davis from the Mississippi Forensics Laboratory take the stand Monday afternoon and “show cause” as to why the crime lab has not finished its autopsy report on Billy Ray Thomas, Jr., who was killed in a shooting at The Oasis nightclub in Brookhaven on Nov. 25 last year. Prosecutors have charged 24-year-old Justin Devon Anderson of Natchez with first-degree murder, but without the crime lab’s findings, the case — hearings for which began in September — has hit a wall.
“We’ve dealt with this in the past, but we’ve never really gone this far,” District Attorney Dee Bates said of the show cause order. “We’ve got a case, he’s asking for a speedy trial. We have to have (the autopsy report). We have to uphold his constitutional rights, and something’s got to give.”
Court documents show Davis performed an autopsy on Thomas Nov. 28 last year and issued a preliminary report that same day, but has yet to file a final report detailing his findings. The same motion for a show cause order claims investigators sent the crime lab a gunshot residue evidence collection kit on Nov. 29, taken from an alleged witness, requesting an analysis. So far, the court has not received that report, either.
Assistant district attorney Diane Jones also argued in her motion for a show cause order DNA samples from Anderson were sent to the crime lab on March 29, 2018, requesting the tissue be compared with DNA collected from a firearm found at The Oasis the night of the shooting. No analysis has been delivered.
Jones’ show cause motion sought to compel Davis and two other crime lab employees, but Taylor named only Davis in his order. The order requires Davis appear in court at 3:30 p.m. Monday, but Taylor next signed an order of continuance pushing the case back to Dec. 10.
The state crime lab’s inability to return autopsy reports in a timely manner is a well-documented problem that has agitated court officials statewide, even in Lincoln County.
County officials in August told supervisors Circuit Judge David Strong was considering calling crime lab officials to the carpet to find out why only five of eight autopsy reports from the 2017 Memorial Day weekend massacre in Lincoln County had been completed. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty of Willie Cory Godbolt in that case, the next hearing for which is scheduled for Nov. 13.
While lawyers and judges around Mississippi are sore at the crime lab, officials there claim they’re backlogged because the facility is underfunded and understaffed. The lab employs around 80 people, but full staff is 120. Lawmakers gave the medical examiner’s office $3.4 million for Fiscal Year 2019, $1 million more than the previous year. The office was funded at $2.4 million every year after 2014, when the allotment was $1.9 million.
Natchez attorney Zachary Jex, who is representing Anderson, said the show cause motion doesn’t really affect his case too much due to the continuance.
“We’re still reviewing discovery,” he said. “New people are coming forward, there’s new evidence and we’re still waiting on the crime lab results.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Wisdom and Knowledge
"Knowledge alone cannot give rise to value. It is only when knowledge is guided by wisdom that value is created. The font of wisdom is found in the following elements: an overarching sense of purpose, a powerful sense of responsibility and, finally, the compassionate desire to contribute to the welfare of humankind."1--Daisaku Ikeda [Read full text]

The distinction that Ikeda made between knowledge and wisdom offers a useful insight into the nature of Soka education. Education often focuses on the transmission and accumulation of knowledge. However, knowledge itself is a neutral tool that can be used for good or evil. In contrast, Ikeda believed wisdom always directs us toward happiness.
Ikeda called the confusion between knowledge and wisdom one of the grave failings of modern society. He likened knowledge to the ability of a doctor to discern the cause or nature of a person's illness and wisdom to the doctor's ability to successfully treat the disease.
As he noted, "The suffering generated by the grotesque imbalance between our knowledge and our wisdom is succinctly symbolized by the fact that the most sublime fruit of our science and technology has been nuclear weapons."2 [Read full text] Similarly, the "explosion" of knowledge within the past century seems only to have compounded the inequalities on our planet. This is of course not to deny the value of the pursuit of knowledge, only to show that the relationship between knowledge and wisdom must be properly considered. Ikeda affirmed that with the advent of an increasingly knowledge- and information-based society, it becomes all the more crucial that we develop the wisdom to master these resources of knowledge and information.
Ikeda, who founded Soka University in 1971, sitting in on a class (Hachioji, Tokyo, January 2004)
The task of education must be to stimulate and unleash the wisdom that lies dormant in the lives of all young people. This is a process of drawing out the inner potential of individuals, as opposed to a forced process, like pressing something into a preformed mold, in the way much of modern education is doing today.
Furthermore, knowledge must be tied to purpose in order to produce value. Ikeda asserted, "Unless we continually ask ourselves, 'What purpose does this knowledge serve?' we are liable to fall into the trap of pursuing knowledge for its own sake."3 Education that neglects to orient itself to some larger purpose may end up producing individuals who are "knowledgeable [but] immature and coldhearted as well."4
Certainly, it would seem that only a wisdom-based education that directs students toward the richness of our common humanity can provide an antidote to the powerful dehumanizing forces so rampant within contemporary society. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

"My name is Charlie O'Brien and I am the "Noisemaker" for the label Silent Noise. I grew up at Kangarilla Road Winery and love everything about making wine. The name Silent Noise comes from my excitement as a small child surrounding the noise of tractors, trucks and everything machinery to do with viticulture and winemaking. The noise stops when the wine is made and it sits silently in the bottle waiting to explode with a different kind of noise when the wine hits the nose and mouth.
I finished school four years ago and have worked vintages in McLaren Vale at Gemtree, Kangarilla Road and Yangarra Estate. completed vintage with Pikes in Clare Valley who have won Australia’s No 1 Riesling two consecutive years. I have worded in France at Domaine Astruc which is part of the Paul Mas company in the languedoc where I was in charge of outgoing finished wine and red fermentation throughout the harvest duration. My most recent French vintage was at Chateau Haut Bailly in Bordeaux. I lived on the vineyard for 3 months working on vineyard management and then in the cellar looking after the red fermentation. I was also part of the winery first ever attempt at making Rosé for the 2019 Vintage.
In the winter of 2017 I worked with Sentier who are a vineyard maintenance company that specialise in Organic/Biodynamic practices in McLaren Vale work out more sustainable and affective ways to look after a vineyard." Charlie

My Five Favorite Gifts: Daria's Gift Guide 2024
First off, after moving to dry, high-desert Santa Fe, New Mexico, hydration is in order – and it’s good for you and your friends, too – no matter where you live! First, start from the inside out and spoil your favorite person with some Hallstein Water. It’s the purest, tastiest water around (I’m a convert and will never go back to tap or any other bottle!), which actually has scientifically proven health benefits. Bring a single bottle in lieu of wine to a party or sign them up for a monthly delivery subscription. So chic!
Headed to someone’s home or hosting a dozen at yours? Wow them all with something yummy to eat. My go-to cookbook is The Essential NY Times Cookbook – it is a great gift for those who like to cook, plus is also great to have on hand yourself. All the recipes have been collected over the years yet recently tested – and there are so many yummy ones! My go-to recipes are in the dessert section: Plum Tart and the Ginger Cake are divine and win every time. Head back to read this Journal post for more of my favorite recipes that will make you shine this holiday!
My new favorite local find is the Santa Fe School of Cooking. They have an amazing shop (online, too), where you can order all sorts of hard-to-find spices, oils and specialty items unique to the Southwest. They’ll even do gift-boxes for you. It’s a no-brainer if you want to dazzle the chef who “has everything”. My picks are Santa Fe Green Chile infused Olive Oil or any of the chile powders, such as the freshly ground red chile powder available in 3 different heat levels.
Lastly, it’s always nice to send (and receive!) a handwritten note. A company I’m fond of is Felix Doolittle, which uses gorgeous watercolor illustrations on beautiful stationary. Perfect for jotting off a note to someone. You can personalize a lot of their designs (from cards, to canning labels to book plates, etc.), but one of my favorite things are their customizable return labels. Wrap up a duo of labels and cards, and you’ve hit it out of the park!
As always, if you need any specific jewelry suggestions, I’m happy to hop on a call to help tailor some ideas for you. Reach out to me by email to set up a time to chat. In the meantime, happy shopping! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
My favorite part about summer is color! Anything goes during the summer months, and you, too, should get bright and cheery with some radiant jewelry and vibrant outfits. Here are a few looks I recommend; jewelry via Daria de Koning (of course!) and clothes via Moda Operandi.
Jewelry for the beach or pool is always a stylish and chic idea. Best for sitting under an umbrella with a cool glass of lemonade or for taking a light dip – not for water skiing or laps! You can never go wrong with a gold bracelet, like the Orbit, or a fun juicy pop of color, like our Dagny ring in raspberry colors. I especially love our Gold-in-Quartz Necklace for summer. It's not only an eye-catching piece, but the white quartz paired with bright yellow gold gives it a light feeling that goes with everything you put on this season.
As a born and bred New Yorker, I grew up with the mentality that you are fully dressed when you put on your jewelry. Our Fawn Earrings make a bold statement, plus are a nice neutral to complement another summer staple – a breezy floral dress. Add in a fun ring like the Supernova in sunshiny yellow and orange to tie it all together. Beat the heat in this ensemble and look lovely for a day at work, an afternoon exploring a new museum or a stroll through the park!
During the summer, a favorite place to be is in my shady backyard sipping rosé with friends. Naturally, our Rose All Day Earrings and a worn-in pair of jeans are a must for these gatherings. Toss on a Byzantine ring or a Supernova pendant for some extra flair, and enjoy the carefree, long days of summer.
Happy Summer! Shop these looks on our site and Moda Operandi! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Louisiana State University's School of Dentistry will return to its New Orleans home this summer, school officials said.
Dental School Dean Dr. Eric Hovland said the school was chased from New Orleans by damage from Hurricane Katrina. Plans call for the addition of children's dental services, a dental hygienist training program, development of clinical research trials, and continuing-education opportunities for dentists, hygienists, and others, Dr. Hovland said.
"LSU operates the only dental school in the state, and we take that very seriously. We see this as an opportunity to expand activities to an area of the state that needs the benefits of a dental school," he said.
LSU is seeking a $1 million increase in the dental school budget to cover the expense of extra staff and operational costs such as utilities, equipment, and supplies needed for the expansion, Dr. Hovland said. It is part of the school's state budget request for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
"That would give us the most comprehensive program we could put together," Dr. Hovland said. The program could be altered depending on funds available.
The clinics will stay in operation to provide dental services to area residents and provide real-life experiences for students and dentists in training, Dr. Hovland said.
LSU operates two dental clinics on the GSRI site � one with 49 chairs and the other with 78 chairs. Each has state-of-the-art equipment. Over the last year, the clinics have treated more than 5,400 patients, according to LSU records.
For information about dental clinic activities, call (225) 334-2040 or (225) 334-4939.
The high local patient volume makes the site "superb for education" of future Louisiana dentists, LSU Health Sciences Center Chancellor Dr. Larry Hollier said.
Dr. Hollier said he envisioned the regional Oral Health Center as a good start.
Residents in the Gardere area had little opportunity to get lower-cost dental care before LSU was forced to relocate here, Dr. Hovland said.

Beginning with the 2010-11 academic year, student members of the American Dental Association and American Student Dental Association can obtain free disability insurance as a member benefit.
The ADA Council on Members Insurance and Retirement Programs approved a proposal to offer ADA-sponsored disability insurance to student members on a noncontributory basis, which has been done since the 1970s for ADA-sponsored life insurance. The council’s action was reported to the ADA Board of Trustees in July 2010.
“The ADA is committed to helping its members achieve financial security throughout their lifetimes, and one way to do that is to provide access to insurance protection as a risk management tool even while in dental school,” observed Dr. Larry Browder, CMIRP chair.
“It’s absolutely critical for students to protect themselves financially against the risk of an injury or illness that could prevent them from completing dental school or eventually earning a living as a dentist, especially when they’ve invested so much time and money preparing for this career.”
Premiums for student coverage are paid by the ADA Insurance Plans.
The ADA student disability plan provides $2,000 in basic monthly disability insurance, plus up to $150,000 (payable in $2,000 monthly installments) to repay student loans. In addition, student members can obtain $50,000 in free ADA term life insurance while in school.
It is intended that this coverage will be continued after graduation to help new dentists maintain a foundation of lifelong personal insurance protection. New dentists can build on that foundation as their needs and responsibilities grow.
Dr. Browder hopes students will look beyond the free offer and recognize the intrinsic value of the coverage.
“Like life insurance, disability insurance has several uses,” he explained. “It gives you a source of income if you’re disabled, it provides funds to help repay debts, and it can serve as future loan collateral when you’re ready to buy a practice.”
Dr. Meg Ryan, former ASDA trustee and ASDA liaison to CMIRP, added, “The ADA has made it very easy for dental students to get two types of personal insurance they need—life and disability—just by signing up. It’s an excellent way to prepare for life after dental school.”
The student disability coverage automatically renews every academic year, even through postdoctorate study, and converts after graduation to the ADA plans for practicing dentists: $4,000 in total monthly coverage, including $2,000 for personal expenses through the ADA Income Protection plan, and $2,000 for business-related expenses such as student or practice loans through the ADA Overhead Expense plan.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for today’s dental students,” said Dr. Browder. “There are so many positives, and no negatives. Unlike some student insurance programs, it has full portability after the new dentist graduates; ADA coverage can be renewed no matter where the doctor chooses to reside or affiliate, as long as his or her ADA membership remains active.”
Coverage is guaranteed for students under age 40; students who are 40 or older may enroll and receive all program benefits after satisfying medical underwriting. Students must sign up to receive the free coverage; enrollment forms are available from ASDA leaders or online at www.insurance.ada.org.
Automatic enrollment, which eliminates the need for students to sign up individually, also may be arranged by dental schools that provide ASDA membership to all students.
Disability benefits are subject to a 90-day waiting period. Benefits are not payable for any disability that occurs during the first two years after enrollment if it involves an illness, physical condition, or symptom that existed or was treated within six months prior to enrollment.
For more information about ADA Insurance Plans, visit www.insurance.ada.org, send an e-mail to [email protected], or call (888) 463-4545.

Researchers reported gender differences among individuals with skin conditions and compared sociodemographic, clinical and psychological variables.
Women with skin conditions are more likely to experience dysmorphic concern and body dysmorphic disorder versus men with skin conditions, according to a study published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology.1
Researchers reported that regardless of gender, individuals with dermatological concerns faced a combination of perceived and actual stigmatization.
Previous research has indicated that body dysmorphic disorder is significantly higher in prevalence among individuals with skin conditions than the general population. A 2016 study published in Body Image reported that dermatological patients have an 11.3% prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder, while the prevalence for the general population is 2%.2
Authors of the present study, Sampogna et al, noted that no prior studies have analyzed the gender differences relative to dysmorphic concerns in dermatology.
Their study included patients from 17 European countries and a control group of individuals without skin conditions. Researchers utilized questionnaires such as the Dysmorphic Concern Questionnaire (DCQ) to gather data on sociodemographic details, disease severity, and body dysmorphic concerns, and the EuroQol 5-D to measure psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, perceived stigmatization, and stress.
The study involved 5,847 dermatological patients, with 5,290 completing the body dysmorphic disorder questionnaire. Among participants with gender data, 56.8% were women, and the average age was about 48.7 years.
The prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder was around 10.5%, with higher rates among women (12.7%) compared to men (7.7%). The likelihood of body dysmorphic disorder increased with the severity of the skin condition, being highest in those with severe conditions.
In addition, women consistently reported higher average DCQ scores than men, particularly in various skin conditions such as acne, atopic dermatitis, and vitiligo. The effect size of these differences was generally moderate in nature.
Logistic regression analysis revealed that body dysmorphic disorder in both men and women was associated with higher levels of stress, perceived stigma, and in some cases, anxiety and depression. For patients with more mild skin conditions, stress and stigma were notably linked to body dysmorphia.
"Statistically significant differences in dysmorphic concern among genders, with small to medium effect size, have been reported in more than half of the observed skin conditions," according to Sampogna et al. "The most significant difference in dysmorphic concern was observed for patients with vitiligo."
Limitations of the study, as noted by its authors, included a sample size that may not be entirely representative of the general patient population (those with skin conditions), lack of available reliability data for clinical severity scaling, and that body dysmorphic disorder had not been diagnosed by a clinician.
Researchers noted that this study data may provide clinicians with a deeper understand of gender differences in perceived and actual stigmatization of skin conditions. Clinicians, they wrote, should be able to detect body-related concerns and utilize a multi-disciplinary, holistic approach to address them in their patients. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Golden Oldies Guesthouse
Verkrijgbaar als Luisterboek
‘I ended up reading until the wee small hours of the morning... Certainly took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride with all the ups and downs, the happiness and sadness, the laughs and the sobs.’
Tess and Simon Sparrow may have a few more grey hairs than they used to, but that doesn’t stop them from being swept up in a whirlwind romance and starting over.
Swapping their city lives for an escape to the Cornish countryside, they fall in love with a crumbling hotel and impulsively buy it to renovate as their forever home.
But soon the newlyweds have had their first fight (and their second and third...) and building costs are spiralling out of control. Their families think they’re mad and Tess is starting to agree – she just wants to escape back to civilisation.
Doing up the glorious, wisteria-clad property was meant to be a delightful retirement project. But the electrics are faulty, there’s no central heating, and the kitchen ceiling’s fallen in: the dream has become reality and things only get more chaotic when the first guests arrive...
Mysterious Celia, hapless romantic Dominic and tarnished, lovelorn actress Titania are all looking for a fresh start. Everyone in this eclectic group has their own reasons for being in Cornwall, but the summer is full of secrets and surprises. As plans go awry and truths are revealed, Tess and Simon realise that they’ve taken on a bigger challenge than they intended to: can their happily-ever-after survive the chaos or will this end up being the biggest mistake of their lives?
From the bestselling author of The Runaway Wife and The Silver Ladies of Penny Lane, this is a completely uplifting page-turner about embracing new friendships, finding love and making each day count. Perfect for fans of The Kicking the Bucket List and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.

English Oak - Ballpoint pen in Oak from Saltram House Plymouth
Quality handmade wooden ballpoint pen handmade in Oak from Saltram House Plymouth. The pen features Black Chrome coloured fittings which perfectly compliment the wood. This is a beautiful handmade quality pen, the comfortable shape in the hand is complemented by the wonderful natural feel and warmth of the wood with a traditional wax finish. Each pen will vary slightly from the one pictured as the Oak is a natural product making each pen unique.
The wood featured in this pen is Oak from a tree that grew at Saltram House in Plymouth. The tree grew next to the main driveway near to the Lodge. It was on the righthand side almost opposite the remaining Oak tree.
The pen accepts standard Parker® type refills which are widely available in a number of ink types. It will be shipped in the case pictured, along with a small certificate giving details of the wood.
All pens are handmade by me beginning with rough cut woods for the body. The body of the pen is turned on a lathe to the final shape as seen on each pen. The body is then sanded, sealed, waxed and polished to its final finish. Assembly is completed by using pre-made high quality pen components for long lasting performance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A Way to Play: Whitewater Rafting in Northern New Mexico!
Winding through the ancient and rocky peaks of northern New Mexico flows the mighty and wild Rio Grande. Carved into the vast landscape of sheer basalt cliffs and rocky quartzite heights, home to man and animal alike, the Rio Grande is a tremendous force of nature that has provided life to the Southwest for a millennia. With a history as old and mysterious as the land itself, the Rio Grande is a truly wondrous and essential part of New Mexico’s wilderness.
The Rivers of Northern New Mexico
When people think of the Southwest, they don’t often think of water. And while New Mexico is no stranger to drought and heat, it is no stranger to lakes and rivers either! Only a short, scenic drive away from Santa Fe are two of the Southwest’s most important and historical rivers: the mighty Rio Grande and the captivating Rio Chama. A memorable, exciting, and family-friendly way to explore serene landscapes is on the rivers themselves – an action-packed sport called whitewater rafting. A summer experience like none other, New Mexico offers some of the most spectacular whitewater in the country!

When diet and exercise alone aren’t enough to shed excess or stubborn fat, noninvasive fat reduction treatments can create that slim, toned look you want—without the need for surgery. Chief among these nonsurgical options is CoolSculpting®, which capitalizes on the body’s natural metabolic processes to target fat. This technique has been around since 2010 and is cleared by the FDA to address unwanted fat in a variety of areas. But how does CoolSculpting really work, and why should you consider it over other options?
This blog post will cover the basics of CoolSculpting and compare it against other nonsurgical alternatives to help guide your decision-making.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a noninvasive cosmetic fat reduction treatment that is safely used on many parts of the body, including the waistline and abdomen, the thighs, hips, back, and beneath the chin. The principle behind it is simple: When fat cells are exposed to intense, sustained cold, they begin to break down (a process called cryolipolysis). The body then gradually eliminates the damaged fat cells through the lymphatic system.
A CoolSculpting treatment involves two components: cooling and suction. Both are delivered simultaneously through panels applied to the target area, creating a numbing but not unpleasant sensation during the one-hour treatment. The suction pulls the subcutaneous fat into the cooling panels, while the continuous cold temperature degrades the fat cells without damaging the surrounding skin and tissue.
Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting patients consistently see a 20 to 25% reduction in fat, though results generally take 2 to 3 months to become fully visible. As with any lipolysis treatment (such as SculpSure® or KYBELLA®), CoolSculpting relies on the body’s natural ability to process and expel damaged fat cells. While the improvements occur gradually, this gives the skin time to “bounce back” without causing sagging skin or stretch marks.
Will I Lose Weight With CoolSculpting?
While your CoolSculpting results may not change the number on the scale, patients can typically expect to lose inches from their trouble areas as bra bulges and “love handles” begin to melt away. Many patients find that their clothes fit more smoothly and comfortably or are even too loose, as their clothing size may drop with multiple treatments.
What Other Nonsurgical Options Are Out There?
SculpSure is another nonsurgical fat reduction treatment offered at our practice. Unlike CoolSculpting, SculpSure relies on laser-generated heat as its primary fat-targeting mechanism. It produces comparable results to CoolSculpting across a similar timeline; however, the treatment can be completed in less than half the time as CoolSculpting. For a more detailed comparison between the two, please see our related blog post.
For patients looking specifically to target a double chin, KYBELLA is an injectable fat-reducing treatment that creates a more sculpted chin and neckline. Results become visible within the first few days and will continue to improve with time and follow-up treatments.
Other nonsurgical fat reduction techniques may use infrared light, radiofrequency (RF) energy, or ultrasound to target fat cells and trigger lipolysis.
Why Should I Choose CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting offers a safe, measured approach to reducing unwanted fat without anesthesia or surgical downtime. It has been effectively used for over a decade with consistent, long-term results and is one of the most well-regarded and popular procedures for treating stubborn fat deposits. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

With the rising popularity of streaming, many have tried finding new ways of enjoying theater from the comforts of their own home. But beyond just theater, some have tried experimenting with new challenges to the theater experience. One such group has found its way to YouTube and the concept is an interesting one, to be sure. From Parley Productions comes a new Live-Streamed YouTube series, Proofs, created by Dustin Hageland & Rebecca Tourino Collinsworth.
With a new, experimental, and process-oriented video series, A challenge is set forth to playwrights to technically challenge them with one of six prompts. They are then given a week in order to complete and submit their work to Parley. After which, a few select actors perform a cold read of the script on the live-streamed broadcast.
I was available to view such performances when the channel began its broadcast this Saturday. It took about 8 minutes for the stream to begin and started with a very creative, hand-drawn intro. After which it introduced the name of the performance in question, and the reading began. On the left side of the screen, the script was shown and scrolled down the screen as the actors read through their lines. the actors were on the left side of the screen as they appeared to be reading over a Zoom call. it was quite a fun and unique way of presenting a read-through of a script and was thought to be a fun way to experience this project.
The broadcast consisted of seven different scripts, written by Miriam BC Tobin, Carol Y. Lee, n8 heneghan, Carolynne Wilcox, Nelle Tankus, drew david combs, and Dustin Hageland. It features Sam Turner, Kelly Johnson, Terry Boyd, Denny Le, drew david combs, Isis King, Samantha Vasquez, Roger Estrada, Barbara Lindsay, and Charles Waxberg. Each script presented was unique and fun to read, along with the actors presenting. While each script came from the same prompt, each one also had a different tone from the other, with some scripts being more serious and others with a more humorous tone. These scripts dealt with various adult languages and topics, such as swear words, sexuality, and other topics. Each script was presented with a title card and the name of the playwright who wrote the script. what really assisted these scripts were the actors who were chosen to perform the cold read. the actors really had fun with this performance, using their phone’s lights as props, shaking the webcam of their camera, and other actions done by the actors, really assisted in the immersion and the overall feeling of genuine fun that these actors had with their performance.
That being said, this broadcast wasn’t really perfect. Between each script read, there was some kind of weird transition that ranged from advertisements for other plays and works of Parley to someone in a chicken mask with a guitar. This is never properly explained or brought up. The prompts for the script and the overall premise of the video were never explained or brought up. It leaves those who don’t really read the description in the dark about what they are watching. I feel like an introduction by Parley would’ve gone a long way toward explaining to new viewers the concepts and themes of the scripts and the video.
Overall, I found the overall experience fun and engaging. I definitely liked all the actor’s performances, and each script was fun, unique, and imaginative, despite the restrictions of the Zoom call and the deadline of one week to write the scripts. I highly recommend checking out this experimental series on YouTube if you are a young adult, with an interest in challenging theatre.

Are you planning to remodel your bathroom in the next few months and want to know about the latest trends?
Have you always wanted to create a special and beautiful bathroom design just like the celebrities and A-Listers have?
Do you know about the best trends, materials, and fittings, which are quite the rage in bathrooms in 2020?
A bathroom renovation or a home makeover can signal a new start for your life. It can be a new marriage, or the birth of your first child, or even your first home. No matter what the occasion, you be rest assured that it demands a proper and celebrated makeover.
Many of us aspire to have the best-looking bathroom. According to home designers, people tend to spend extra and even go beyond budget to renovate two areas of their house- kitchens, and bathrooms.
In this article, we are going to look at the top five trends, which should find a place in your bathroom renovation project. We asked for the recommendations of some of the best interior designers to compile this list.
List of 5 Best Bathroom Trends for the Year 2020
1. Brass Finishing on Lightings and Fittings
If you have ever been to any heritage properties like castles and villas, you will see how brass had been extensively used in different areas. Using brass in your bathroom lends it a royal and sophisticated air. You can use brass on areas like lighting stems and other fittings.
It should be pointed out that water-related fittings should not have brass coatings, as they tend to be reactive with water and fade easily. You can use brass on bathroom mirrors (brass borders) to impart a luxe appeal to your bathroom ambiance.
2. Natural Lighting and Ventilation
Using French windows in your bathroom might be one of your best investments. Large windows, which allow for sunlight and natural ventilation, are quite in vogue in 2020. Apart from being aesthetical, pleasing natural lighting and ventilation serve a functional end.
If you are looking to redo your bathroom, make sure to keep windows and allow for natural ventilation. This helps in keeping bad stenches away and allows for air circulation. Sunlight can also be very uplifting and positive.
3. Chrome Bath Fittings
A beautifully sculpted chrome hand shower does not have a parallel in this world. The experience, the visual beauty, and the functionality can all make your bath experience a truly unforgettable one.
Quality Kohler Luxstone Shower is intricately designed, comes with a long warranty, and is a celebrity favorite according to home décor experts. These will impart a luxurious feeling to the entire bathroom décor.
4. Integrated Smart Lighting Solutions
No one wants to see ugly-looking bulbs and tube lights in their bathrooms. This was a trend, which might have been popular in the seventies. The year 2020 is all about hidden and smart lighting solutions. These lights go on as soon as you enter the bathroom and shut down after you have left.
Not only are they found in the homes of the rich and successful, but they are also affordable and easy to maintain. In addition, they are convenient and effective power-saving mechanisms. How many times have we forgotten to switch off the lights after we leave?
5. Arbled Wall Textures
Another new trend rapidly making waves in 2020 is marbled walls. If you cannot afford real marble on your walls, you should not worry. There are many great and stunning-looking home décor companies producing wallpapers that exactly mimic the look, texture, and feel of marble.
If you really want your bathroom to stand out, you can start by changing something as small as the wallpaper. This is sure to lend an aristocratic air to your bathroom and make you feel satisfied with your efforts.
The Final Word
Home décor experts state that even if you are unable to do all the renovation work at the same time, you can divide it up and follow through on it in a couple of years. Every trend lasts a few seasons before it is replaced by something else. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
One can argue that the key lock is better than a combination lock and that the inner mechanisms of the combination lock are not as strong as a keyed padlock.
But, each kind of lock has its advantages and disadvantages. And depending on the use and purpose of the lock, each type is beneficial.
When considering a lock for your locker or for protecting any other asset of yours, there are a few questions to ask yourself—asking the right questions is crucial in determining the type of lock that will be advantageous for the purpose.
Hire services from the best locksmith in Cleveland.
Is a Key Lock Better Than a Combination Lock?
Three significant concerns determine whether a combination padlock or a key lock is best suited for your purpose.
Firstly, ask yourself whether what happens if you happen to misplace the key or forget the combination of the lock.
Secondly, consider a scenario where you need emergency access, and you do not have the key to yourself. Most importantly, considering the security of the lock that it provides.
Before we further discuss the level of safety measure each lock provides, let’s understand how each lock works.
A key lock runs on a simple mechanism that is only accessible with a key, and it is difficult to access it otherwise.
A combination lock is easily accessible both ways, with a combination code or a key. It is also possible to override the code by trying out each number systematically.
Most combination padlocks are often reset once they are open. Moreover, combination padlocks are highly convenient to use.
If you tend to lose keys or forget them here and there, the combination lock will be comfortable to use, as it does not require the key to have access.
You can always use the combination code. With a key lock, only the rightful owner with the right key can open the lock.
But with combination locks, anyone who knows the code can easily open the lock, as well. So, in terms of safety, combination locks are not as safe as key locks.
Insurance companies do not cover anything which uses combination padlocks. However, combination padlocks are highly convenient when many people need access to the same locker or area.
And the best part about combination padlock is one does not have to have the key to the locker on them at all times to have access, is very comforting. Get the most out of the services from the locksmith in Cleveland.
When it comes to making a decision, it depends on the value of the assets you are protecting. If it is something precious and dear to you, it is highly advisable to increase the security of your asset than merely relying on the combination padlock, which is easily accessible.
With a combination padlock, there is the issue of cracking the code of the combination padlock by systematically trying each number and for each different combination of codes.
A 3 dial padlock, which has ten digits on each dial, is easily crackable by professional thieves in less than under 40 minutes.
And, in case of a four dial lock, the lock is crackable within a maximum time frame of three to four hours.
So, it is always highly advisable never to use combination padlocks in areas that do not guarantee security, like in a remote area or an area that is unmonitored for a longer duration of time.
Combination Padlocks are also easily crackable with the help of various technical methods and tools, and this is one of the essential factors to consider and be aware of when you plan to buy a combination padlock.
Factors to Keep in Mind When Choosing a Padlock
A high-security lock is not enough; there are certain factors to take into consideration when deciding upon a lock.
You may have a lock that is high-security, but it is of no use if you cannot install it properly, or the door on which you are installing the lock is not as sturdy enough to withhold external forces.
If you have assets that one can call it high-value assets, then chances are intruders and thieves will try much harder to get their hands on them.
The value of the assets is an essential factor when considering choosing a lock type. If they are not that valuable, chances are thieves won’t go after them, and a simple low-grade lock will do the trick.
And, most importantly, do not forget to factor in the environment when choosing a lock. The atmosphere in which the padlock is to stay for the maximum duration of time makes a significant difference.
A padlock that will be near or in a water body should be weatherproof, so withstand the extreme weather conditions.
A corrosion-resistant padlock is usually in stainless steel, or a Nickel brass plating is best suited for outdoors. In contrast, the other various materials available for padlocks are suitable for the indoors. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Frequently Asked Questions
When is my child eligible for drivers ed?
The NC DMV requires that students must be 14yrs and 6mos old before starting the classroom portion.
My child took the classroom portion with another school. Can they drive with you?
Possibly. I'll be happy to try to work your student in to my rotation if/when I get their completion certificate from the other school. The cost is $450. Please email me to schedule.
When will my child get to drive?
Unlike many schools I don't take on more students than I can handle so I don't have a 4-6 month wait. Priority is based primarily on student date of birth. Ideally students will drive as close to their 15th birthday as is reasonable. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Divorce is a complicated legal matter. It becomes extremely complicated when child custody is an issue. Ohio, being an equitable division state, has laws that convolute the seemingly simple process of property division.
When it comes to divorcing with children, the courts may decide that one spouse receives a disproportionate share of marital property. Mediation, as one of a few alternate dispute resolution methods, can offer both parents an affable alternative to letting the courts decide family fate.
According to state law, a divorcing couple’s marital property is subject to being disproportionately divided between the two parties if the court deems it fit. Courts will consider factors such as earning ability, child custody, and non-financial marital contributions when meting out property.
When a court is responsible for determining the future of children in a divorce, it will do what it thinks is best for the children, regardless of what either parent has to say. This can be for good reason, as in the case of an abusive or neglectful parent, to protect the children. The court will then determine what it deems to be an appropriate alimony for one parent to pay to the other to care for the children.
When it comes to property division, especially when children are involved, one spouse has the potential to lose much of their property and their rights to see their children. Mediated divorce is a means of settling divorce matters outside the court’s jurisdiction, retaining a large amount of personal control.
Parents who fear a seemingly unjust ruling by the court may choose mediation to resolve property distribution and child custody. Doing so will help them retain control of their future if they are able to cooperate with their counterpart in coming to a mutually beneficial arrangement. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If you didn’t see the big Twitter news this weekend, the folks who run the app decided to place SMS two-factor authentication behind a paywall. This was funny infuriating for a couple of reasons, but one of the arguments I saw from those who seemed fine with this decision is that 2FA SMS can be relatively insecure versus other forms of 2FA (authenticator apps, hardware key, etc.). Ok, if that was the actual argument, then why did Twitter put it behind a paywall and special for only those who pay a monthly fee? The vast, vast majority of 2FA users on Twitter (albeit an extremely low percentage of Twitter users) were utilizing the SMS option, so it’s almost too blatant to put it behind the Twitter Blue fence.
As it turns out, Twitter’s owner is just sick of paying the “fake” text bill each month. I suppose you don’t become one of the world’s richest people by letting $60M/year slide, right?
So that’s what happened this weekend. When Twitter announced this move, because there’s no way in hell that I will ever pay for Twitter Blue, I fired up my Authy app and reenabled 2FA on my account. It was easy enough. It got me wondering, though. What authenticator app do you all use? There is no shortage these days, with popular options the likes of Authy, Google Authenticator, 2FAS, Microsoft Authenticator, and plenty else.
Feel free to share what option you use below and why. I might be missing out on something dope and I always hate that feeling. Back when I used Twitch a lot, I got programmed into thinking Authy was the best choice, but that may or may not be true anymore.
And please, don’t waste your time in the comments accusing me of being an Elon hater. I promise, I really don’t care. 🤷 | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
