Perfect for kids and eco friendly gifting!
Once that stash of gift bags in your closet has reached the point where they need to be retired, fabric gift bags are the perfect replacement. They’ll last year after year after year with minimal wear and tear!
Does your kiddo love to help you do grocery shopping like mine does? Use this as their shopping bag. They can easily handle this size, feeling independent and helpful.
These washable, reusable totes in fun prints are made with a 100% cotton body and thick webbed polyester handles. They’re lined and topstitched twice for durability, and boxed off with a 2” gusset on the bottom.
Due to the handmade nature of this item some variance in size is to be expected. Dimensions of the bag are roughly 7.5” across, 7.5” tall, 2” bottom width with straps end to end measuring 17.5”.
Bags with too small dimensions will be listed as variants at a discount.
FREE PERSONALIZATION: I will add a name or a few words for free using heat transfer material. Many fonts and colors available.
***Important: if you want personalization, write in the order notes at checkout “PERSONALIZED” and I will reach out to get your specifics within one business day. Extra processing time for personalized bags is approximately 3 business days. ***
Best care instructions: wash in cool water, separately for first wash to ensure colorfastness. Dry on low heat or air dry. Dry clean is acceptable, but a little extra in my opinion ;) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

As the Australian government further improves its aged care system, ASAG Equity Release can provide support for Home Care.
The Australian aged care system is set up to allow senior Australians extra assistance, either in a residential facility or their own house.
While transitioning into residential aged care can be a necessary option for those who require round the clock medical attention, managing this may be an overwhelming experience for the person and their families.
Some vital decisions need to be made, such as taking into consideration the location and suitability of the facility, affordability of the fees that are payable and, whether moving into residential care is required. The recipient can stay in their home to receive these support services.
With the population in Australia now living longer than before, most people don’t enter residential care. They live in their own homes with some support from the government approved Home Care providers.
What is a Home Care Package?
A Home Care Package is a care and service that allows a person to live independently. The subsidies provided by the government (paid directly to the care provider) are based on an affordability and income test.
As everyone’s needs are not the same, they are categorised into four levels of requirements of Home Care Packages that range from Level 1 – Level 4.
The Impact of Federal Budget 2020 on Aged Care services
1 July 2014 — the government changed the way fees were calculated for aged care homes and Home Care Packages. These changes were made to reform the aged care system into a more affordable and sustainable one.
The following years also saw a nationally consistent process nationwide of assigning these packages to consumers and preparatory work. This supports the establishment of a single unified system for Home Care and aged care.
October 2020 — The Federal Budget allocated a further $1.6 billion to create an extra 23,000 Home Care packages to add to the 6,105 packages that were announced in July 2020.
Furthermore, an updated and nationally consistent process to the allocation of these packages is also helping people avoid significant waiting lists with multiple providers, prioritising based on personal needs and how long they have been waiting.
Using an Equity Release for In-Home Care
November 2020 — RMIT released a research report on funding ageing in place, which indicates that 90% of senior Australians want to remain in their homes if possible, however, 29% cannot afford to.
Even with a subsidised Home Care package, the age pension may not be enough to cover the costs associated with care. This is where an Equity Release could help those homeowners who need to access further funds for specialised care at home.
An ASAG Equity Release could allow you to access the funds required for in Home Care without having to sell.
ASAG – providing further support
We at ASAG understand how important the family home is. Our Equity Release can help Australian seniors access their home’s equity to fund a more comfortable retirement without selling.
It’s our commitment to enable senior Australians to age in place if they prefer to. To further support this, ASAG is pleased to inform you that our Equity Release can provide support. Funds can be assessed as regular advances or in cash reserve to draw down on request — providing further flexibility to Equity Release.
An ASAG Equity Release can also be used to fund the construction of a granny flat — subject to our usual loan criteria, such as age, location, and valuation.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand, with the signing of the ASEAN Declaration (Bangkok Declaration) by the Founding Fathers of ASEAN, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Brunei Darussalam then joined on 7 January 1984, Viet Nam on 28 July 1995, Lao PDR and Myanmar on 23 July 1997, and Cambodia on 30 April 1999, making up what is today the ten Member States of ASEAN.
As set out in the ASEAN Declaration, the aims and purposes of ASEAN are:
1. To accelerate the economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region through joint endeavours in the spirit of equality and partnership in order to strengthen the foundation for a prosperous and peaceful community of Southeast Asian Nations;
2. To promote regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the rule of law in the relationship among countries of the region and adherence to the principles of the United Nations Charter;
3. To promote active collaboration and mutual assistance on matters of common interest in the economic, social, cultural, technical, scientific and administrative fields;
4. To provide assistance to each other in the form of training and research facilities in the educational, professional, technical and administrative spheres;

6. To promote Southeast Asian studies; and
7. To maintain close and beneficial cooperation with existing international and regional organisations with similar aims and purposes, and explore all avenues for even closer cooperation among themselves.
In their relations with one another, the ASEAN Member States have adopted the following fundamental principles, as contained in the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC) of 1976:
1. Mutual respect for the independence, sovereignty, equality, territorial integrity, and national identity of all nations;
2. The right of every State to lead its national existence free from external interference, subversion or coercion;
3. Non-interference in the internal affairs of one another;
4. Settlement of differences or disputes by peaceful manner;
5. Renunciation of the threat or use of force; and
6. Effective cooperation among themselves. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
One of our favorite things to do here at Ashford Manor is to have the puppies participate in an agility course. You might be thinking to yourself, “There is no way I could set up a course in my home. It is too small and I don’t have the right equipment.” Well, put those doubts behind you because we are sharing with you simple ways to make your very own agility course! A basic agility course has the following types of obstacles: weave poles, dog-walk, standard jumps, pause table, tunnel, tire jump, and or teeter board. Not all of these are required or needed to have a good course.
To make your own tunnel, think back to your childhood where you made tents out of blankets: attach (make sure it is secure so it doesn’t fall on the puppy) blankets to chairs to create a tunnel. Have your puppy wait at one end while you go to the other. As you look through the tunnel call your puppy! When he reaches you reward him with a treat! Continue to play!
Instead of weave poles, use different items around your house that he can run through, piles of books, pillows, etc.
These are just two of the many ways you can create a fun indoor agility course for your puppy. If you would like to read more check out the following websites:
We would love to see your Australian Labradoodle completing his course! Please send pictures to firstname.lastname@example.org with the subject Indoor Agility Course. We will then post your pictures on our other media pages (Please like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and or follow us on Pinterest)

Safety & Logistics
On Friday April 7th, our plant in Morris, IL was asked to host a Spring Meeting for our Commercial Motor Vehicle Operators (CMV). The goals were to review and discuss safety and compliance topics for the upcoming construction season to ensure a safe and successful start to the construction season here in the Midwest.
CMV Operators from Edison, OH and Indianapolis, IN were also able to attend this important meeting. Everyone participated in a presentation put together by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The presentation reviewed HazMat safety, FMCSA regulations, and Roadside Inspections with MCSAP Compliance Officer Wesley James.
“It was so important, and also exciting to see our team engaging with the IDOT reps. The team was able to ask questions to understand how they can take their knowledge and skills and transform them into every task to maintaining compliance and safety standards!” – Samantha Komperda, Logistics Manager
The IDOT presentation was followed by a hands-on inspection of the drivers’ equipment at the Morris site. Officer James completed a full Roadside Inspection, explaining every step of the process. The team was able to hear IDOT explain the items they look for during an inspection step by step, and openly shared tips and ideas about how to review their equipment during their own inspections to ensure it is consistently adhering to compliance standards.
This is one of the many ways our organization approaches safety and invests in creating a culture where knowledge, best practices and shared learnings are welcomed and accessible.
Excitement Continues to Build as We Expand Our Growing Team

This new ad in Subaru and Carmichael Lynch's "Love" campaign opens on a scene we all dread—a car with a flat tire, and of course it's raining. We see a girl in a raincoat crouched down next to her car, getting drenched while she faces the challenge of changing it. Odessa's beautiful "I Will Be There" plays throughout ("If you ever need someone to hold you/I will be there/Standing by your side"), and I can't help but inwardly cheer her on. I won't give this one away; you need to watch it for yourself. It's good. Really good. Another winner from a company that tells these kinds of stories particularly well. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

If you haven’t had the chance to be one of the ‘WAMers’ at National Music Camp, you’re probably wondering what it is that they get up to. Angus McPherson took the time to tell us about his experience of putting down his flute, and picking up a pen, a notebook, and a microphone.
Writing has interested me for a long time, but my studies as a flute player always tended to take precedence. It was only when I saw that the AYO offered a ‘Words About Music’ (WAM) program at the AYO National Music Camp (NMC) that it occurred to me I could combine my passions and add another facet to my career.
The WAM program ran parallel to the orchestral programs at Camp, but our rhythm was very different – deadlines cascaded over the two weeks, and by the final days, when the orchestras were rehearsing madly for the last concerts, our programs had gone to print and we were debriefing. Day-to-day we researched, wrote and workshopped program notes for the concerts, planned articles for the camp magazine and blog, and worked with our mentors on radio techniques and production. We spent hours in our office, writing quietly or poring over scores. We inhaled coffee and wrote frantically into the night to meet early deadlines. In workshops we discussed grammar and how to encapsulate a symphony in 500 words.
Through the WAM program, I was fortunate to be selected for the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra Fellowship. The brief sounded simple: write program notes for each of the orchestra’s subscription concerts. The process ended up being much more involved. In addition to researching and writing notes, I was proofreading programs (and trying to memorise the esoteric symbols proof-readers use to mark-up documents), editing artist biographies, liaising with designers, conductors and musicians, and interviewing composers about new works. My mentors from the industry were dauntingly knowledgeable, warmly encouraging and very thorough. There were moments of suspense: a marimba part, which I had specifically mentioned in the program notes, was cut from the orchestration moments before the print deadline!
Overall, the fellowship was incredibly rewarding, and I have a far greater appreciation for the effort that goes into creating programs. Now, whenever I attend a concert my eyes skip down to the byline to see who wrote the program notes and I find myself scouring the program book for misplaced apostrophes! A particular highlight of the fellowship was interviewing Elena Kats-Chernin about her work Re-Collecting ASTORoids.
The other significant opportunity that came out of the WAM program was an introduction to WAM alumna Stephanie Eslake, who founded the classical music website CutCommon. In the year following NMC I’ve been writing articles, conducting interviews and reviewing concerts for CutCommon and I’ve recently started receiving commissions to write for other publications as well.
I’m in the process of completing a PhD in Music, majoring in performance. The skills I’ve gained through the WAM program and the opportunities that followed have been a valuable compliment to my studies. I will always enjoy performing, but I think it is important – and immensely satisfying – to engage more broadly with music. Through writing I have been able to explore repertoire in a completely different way, and I believe the diverse facets of my career enrich and enhance each other.
My advice for anyone interested in pursuing a career in music writing is this: read as much as possible! Read everything from program notes, articles and concert reviews to novels, biographies and anything else you can get your hands on. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Deciding between a floating wood floor and glued-down wood flooring can be difficult.
How can you determine which installation aligns more with your preferences?

What is a Floating Wood Floor?
The floating wood floor isn’t affixed to the existing floor with nails or glue. It rests above it as a flooring option.
Using a click-and-lock mechanism, we fasten the wooden floor planks, enabling their grooves to interlock seamlessly without the need for additional fasteners.
Floating Wood Flooring Advantages
Easy to Install
Using a click-and-lock system, you slide the floating floor planks together and hear a click, locking them in place.
This method makes the process easier and saves you money by eliminating the need to buy nails and wood glue.
You no longer have to strain your fingers, use a hammer, or deal with adhesives when installing wood flooring. This method makes the process easier and saves you money by eliminating the need to buy nails and wood glue.
No Toxic Chemicals
Wood adhesives and glues include formaldehyde and phthalates in their composition.
Phthalates refer to a category of chemicals commonly utilized in the production of plastics. The CDC indicates that certain varieties of phthalates may pose significant risks to our reproductive health.
Wood Flooring provides comfortability
The gap between your subfloor and the hardwood planks acts as a cushioning layer for your flooring. Consequently, floating wood floors provide more comfort for your feet compared to conventional floor installations.
Floating Wood Floor Disadvantages
Prone to buckling and warping
Frequent high humidity in your region might not make a floating wood floor an ideal option for you.
The wooden floorboards and subfloors naturally absorb and release moisture from their surroundings, causing them to expand and contract. However, in humid regions, moisture accumulates in the air pockets between the subfloor and the floorboards.
Regular Maintenance on Floating Wood Floor
The wood planks bear the entire weight of a floating floor installation, potentially causing indentations over time.
If you’re planning to install floating wood floors in a nursery or home office, be aware that they can increase sound transmission.
What is Glued-Down Wood Flooring?
Securing floor planks with adhesive is a classic method for installing wooden flooring. This technique involves bonding the planks directly to the subfloor using glue. Once the adhesive cures, the planks are solidly anchored to the concrete subfloor.
When working with engineered wood or vinyl, you can choose between two options for adhering the flooring: using hard-set adhesive or applying pressure-sensitive adhesive.
Hard-set glued-down wood flooring requires the application of adhesives directly onto the concrete subfloor, followed by placing the planks on top until the adhesive cures. In contrast, pressure-sensitive glue-down flooring employs a peel-and-stick method. The planks come pre-coated with adhesive on the back; you simply peel off the protective layer and adhere them to the subfloor.
Glued Down Flooring Advantages
The wood planks are adhered to the subfloor, which minimizes movement compared to a floating wood floor. This setup provides a sturdier feel underfoot, eliminating the bothersome sensation of the floor shifting beneath you.
Vapor Barrier Not Needed
With glued-down flooring, the adhesive serves as the vapor barrier, eliminating the necessity for purchasing and installing underlayments.
The floor planks are securely installed, which prevents them from creaking when walked on. This quality makes them ideal for areas where quiet is essential, such as your nursery, bedroom, or home office.
Glued-down Flooring disadvantages
Difficult to install & remove
Installing and removing glued-down flooring usually necessitates the expertise of a professional. While you might attempt to handle it on your own, lacking significant experience in floor installation can lead to complications. Additionally, this method involves the use of potent adhesives, which can pose health risks if not managed properly.
The costs for this expertise and materials can accumulate substantially.
Floating Wood Floor vs. Glued-Down Wood Flooring
Ultimately, it comes down to what you prefer. Every type of floor installation comes with its advantages and disadvantages.

If your floor feels wobbly when you walk on it, it’s probably a sign that you need a new subfloor.
Some contents in this article may contain external links. For more information, please refer to our
Signs Your Subfloor Needs to Be Replaced
You probably don’t give much thought to your subfloor since it’s hidden beneath your feet. However, it plays a crucial role in supporting specific types of flooring, such as hardwood or carpeting. These types of flooring cannot be directly attached to the joists in your house. Although it can last for around 30 years, there will come a time when it needs to be replaced.
Here are a few indicators that it’s time to consider replacing…
There’s a funky odor
If you notice a musty odor lingering but can’t pinpoint the source, it might be originating from beneath your floor. The musty scent could indicate water damage to the subfloor. When you detect a musty smell, you’re likely detecting mold or mildew that has accumulated.
Your Floors Squeak
Squeaky floors are often caused by the nails that secure the floor to the subfloor shifting back and forth as you walk. While you might be able to fix a single squeaky spot, if the entire area is squeaking, it’s a clear indication that the subfloor has become warped.
The Floors Are Uneven
If you happen to see that your floors are not level, there are a couple of potential reasons, but they usually indicate the need for a replacement. The unevenness might be caused by a warped material or it could be due to certain sections of the subfloor starting to decay. If decay is the issue, it’s crucial to have it fixed or replaced promptly to prevent it from spreading to other areas.
You Can Feel the Floors Move Beneath Your Feet
Your feet should have a solid surface to walk on. Even if you have carpet, you shouldn’t feel any movement beneath you. If it feels bouncy, springy, or spongy, it’s a clear indication that there’s an issue. While bouncing around in a bouncy house may be enjoyable, feeling like you’re in one on your wood floor means it’s time to replace.
Tile Floors Are Broken
Make sure the subfloor under your tiles is sturdy enough to prevent cracking and breaking. Weak subfloors can cause tile damage, so check for issues like rot that may be compromising its strength.
Linoleum Appears to Be Bubbling
If your linoleum floor is bubbling, it might indicate an issue. The bubbling could be due to moisture accumulating in the subfloor. Bubbling doesn’t necessarily mean you have to replace it, but it’s a good idea to look into it more.
Your Wood Floor Is Cupping
When the middle of the wooden boards starts to sink, forming a “cup” shape with the edges raised, it’s called cupping. This issue is often due to moisture seeping up from beneath the floor. While a professional can fix it, it might also signal water damage.
If you see your toilet shifting when you sit or stand, it means the subfloor needs to be replaced. The reason your toilet wobbles is that the subfloor below it is either rotten or too damaged to support it properly.
Leaks from the ceiling don’t always mean there’s an issue. But if water is seeping from upstairs through the floor and reaching the ceiling below, it’s possible that the subfloor upstairs is also being damaged.

Presentation #105.19 in the session Missions and Instruments - Poster Session.
The LargE Area burst Polarimeter (LEAP) is a proposed instrument optimized for measuring polarization and spectra of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). It is capable of measuring polarization from 50 keV to 1 MeV and spectra from 20 keV to 6 MeV. LEAP is a low-risk, wide field-of-view Compton polarimeter designed to be deployed as an external payload on the International Space Station for a 32-month mission. The instrument consists of seven LEAP Polarimeter Modules (LPMs), each containing a 12x12 array of scintillator-PMT detector elements. Two types of scintillators are used within each array. Some elements are made of plastic scintillator (a low-Z material ideal for scattering) and some are made of Cesium Iodide (a high-Z material ideal for photon absorption). A prototype of the instrument has been built to evaluate the design and to characterize the response to polarized photons. The prototype consists of a limited number of detector elements arranged in a 5x5 array. This prototype has been used to carry out polarization and spectral measurements of radioactive sources for multiple observation scenarios. Polarization measurements were made using two different partially polarized sources placed at various locations within the FoV. All measurements were compared with GEANT4 simulations to validate the simulations and our understanding of the full instrument design. The lab data has also been used to evaluate different algorithms for the polarization analysis. We will provide a description of the prototype and summarize results from the laboratory measurements. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The John Hardy Boutique and Gallery at Seminyak once again brings one of Indonesia’s unique artisanal brands to the fore. ‘GIFTS’ by Threadapeutic is on display throughout the venue from 2 February to 30 April, as part of John Hardy’s regular exhibition programme aimed at showcasing refined local artisanship.
Threadapeutic (threadapeutic.com) is a team of textile artisans that transform fabric waste into beautiful new textiles, giving new life to discarded and unwanted materials. Their signature technique was born from a “mistake”. After accidentally underselling a local fashion designer’s tapestry as a tablecloth, founder Hana Surya had to learn the fabric manipulation technique Faux Chenille to remake it.
This sparked a new passion, where she and her team spent the next eight years mastering and pushing the limits of this technique, giving rise to the rich textures and colour-play characteristic of Threadapeutic’s textiles today. The transformed Threadapeutic textiles are used as vibrant decorative tapestry, to create fashion accessories, furniture upholstery and more — all from waste offcuts donated from small to large garment manufactures in Indonesia. Their work has been shown in Paris, Tokyo, and Jakarta. 100% of profits go to good living wages for their artisans and training other local artisans to make upcycled products of exceptional quality.
This exhibition, GIFTS, showcases the beautiful product and its process, displayed as Hana’s journey from ‘housewife’ to textile art studio founder; Threadapeutic gave her a new lease on life. John Hardy, who share the same values in sustainability and handmade craftsmanship in their jewellery production, hopes this exhibition will inspire viewers to appreciate quality over quantity, people over machines, and environmental awareness in the art and fashion industry. The Boutique and Gallery at Seminyak is open daily from 11am to 7pm, fabric workshops with Threadapeutic will be held during the exhibition period; contact John Hardy Bali to find out more.

Enhance Your Property with Energy Efficient Masonry
Energy efficiency is a hot topic in today’s world, with more and more people looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on their energy bills. One way to achieve this is by using energy-efficient materials in the construction of your property, such as masonry.
Masonry is a popular choice for many homeowners due to its durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. But did you know that masonry can also be an energy-efficient option for your property? By using the right techniques and materials, you can enhance your property with energy-efficient masonry that will help you save on heating and cooling costs while also reducing your impact on the environment.
One of the key benefits of using masonry for your property is its thermal mass properties. Masonry materials such as bricks or concrete have high thermal mass, which means they can absorb heat during the day and release it slowly at night. This helps regulate indoor temperatures, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter without relying heavily on artificial heating or cooling systems.
In addition to its thermal mass properties, masonry also provides excellent insulation against heat transfer. By choosing insulated concrete blocks or adding insulation between brick walls, you can further improve the energy efficiency of your property. This will not only help reduce your energy bills but also create a more comfortable living environment for you and your family.
Another way to Enhance Your Property with Energy Efficient Masonry is by incorporating passive solar design principles into your building plans. By strategically placing windows, doors, and other openings to maximize natural light and ventilation, you can reduce the need for artificial lighting and air conditioning. This not only saves money but also reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.
When it comes to choosing materials for your masonry project, opt for those that are locally sourced or made from recycled content whenever possible. This not only supports sustainable practices but also reduces transportation costs and emissions associated with long-distance shipping.
In conclusion, enhancing your property with energy-efficient masonry is a smart investment that pays off both financially and environmentally. By utilizing the thermal mass properties of masonry materials, improving insulation techniques, incorporating passive solar design principles, and choosing sustainable materials, you can create a more efficient home that benefits both you and future generations. So why wait? Start planning your energy-efficient masonry project today!

Eight in 10 food business owners admit they feel unprepared for the Natasha’s Law allergen legislation coming into effect next month, according to new research.
The study, commissioned by global standards organisation GS1, also found four in 10 people across the food industry have never even heard of Natasha’s Law.
The new law, which comes into force on 1 October, will require an individual label showing the name of the food item and a full ingredients list on all pre-packed for direct sale (PPDS) food from October. PPDS is food prepared on the premises where it is being sold, before the consumer purchases it, and either fully or partially enclosed in packaging.
The legislation, officially called the UK Food Information Amendment 2019, was passed in September 2019 after teenager Natasha Ednan-Laperouse suffered a fatal allergic reaction to sesame seeds, an ingredient in a baguette bought pre-packed at Pret A Manger, in 2016.
In spite of an information campaign by the Food Standards Agency to help businesses comply with the new regulations, the GS1 study found just over half of small and medium sized businesses have taken steps to be in a good position ahead of the new law. Only 39% are providing training on types of allergens and more than one in five say they are awaiting further training and guidance.
Only 48% of employees in small independent businesses have heard of Natasha’s Law, although 79% of employees from chains and franchises were aware of the legislation.
Six in 10 business owners are now worried about allergic reactions happening at their property yet four in 10 said they wouldn’t feel completely confident that they could answer a customer’s questions about allergens with their food items.
Half of the business owners said they would need to get more allergen information from suppliers and find a better way to collate it, while 79% of chain and franchise owners said they would change suppliers if their current ones couldn’t provide the correct information.
Chris Tyas, chair of GS1 UK and former acting director of Food Supply and chair Food Resilience Industry Forum, believes the research highlights the need for the whole food supply chain to have access to the full range of allergen data.
“One of the biggest concerns surrounding Natasha’s law is whether businesses will be able to quickly and accurately get up to date allergen information – especially smaller businesses whose ingredients may change daily,” Tyas said. “Yet the research shows that these small businesses are the least prepared.
“To comply successfully we believe the continued digitalisation of the supply chain is much needed. A recommendation that is also at the heart of the recently released National Food Strategy.”
Henry Dimbleby, co-founder of Leon and author of the National Food Strategy, said Natasha’s Law “represents a hugely positive, yet complex transformation for the food sector – one fraught with risk”. Commenting on the research, he added that it was “worrying” that awareness of the law is inconsistent “but not particularly surprising after everything the sector has had thrown at it over the last 18 months”. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The meeting between Deco, the newly appointed sporting director of FC Barcelona, and Moussa Sissoko Ousmane Dembélé’s agent, is just around the corner, with a contract renewal on sight. Although the exact date is yet to be confirmed. But both parties are aware that it will take place in the coming days. It can take place either this week or at the latest, early next week. While it remains uncertain if Mateu Alemany will be present, Deco will be there alongside Sissoko.
According to MD, Dembélé and his representative aim to maintain the positive dialogue and communication with the club. It wasn’t always like that. But it was established during last year’s contract renewal process. This continued into the first meeting held this year, which focused on extending the winger’s contract set to expire on June 30, 2024. FC Barcelona is keen to secure Dembélé’s services until 2027. Moreover, on his part, the player himself is receptive to the idea.
There is a good rapport between Sissoko and the club. Therefore, the plan is to discuss Dembélé’s renewal based on the initial proposal that Barcelona presented to the French winger. Dembélé’s intentions are clear: to reach an agreement for renewal. He is very content at Barcelona under the guidance of Xavi Hernández. However, he also seeks a salary improvement commensurate with his status as a key player in the coach’s plans.
Appealing Release Clause
On the club’s side, there is a sense of urgency to swiftly conclude Dembélé’s renewal. They fear the vulnerable position they find themselves in. Firstly, his release clause has been reduced from €100 million to €50 million during the months of June and July. Moreover, out of the €50 million, if someone were to trigger the clause and sign Dembélé, Barcelona would only receive €25 million, with the remaining €25 million going to the player’s agent. As part of the renewal, the club also intends to increase his release clause.
However, Deco, Alemany, and Laporta are determined to avoid a repeat of last year’s drawn-out renewal process, which caught everyone by surprise, including Xavi, who believed Dembélé was destined to leave. The agreement reached was only for two years, leaving Dembélé free to negotiate with other clubs in just over a year’s time, by June 30, 2024.
With the pivotal summit on the horizon, all parties involved are eager to secure Dembélé’s long-term commitment to FC Barcelona, ensuring that the negotiations proceed smoothly and efficiently, leaving no room for the uncertainties of the past. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
By Stephanie Taylor in Ottawa
The commissioner of Correctional Service Canada said Thursday that serial killer Paul Bernardo will remain in the Quebec medium-security prison he was transferred to earlier this year.
Anne Kelly said a review of the controversial decision to move him out of the maximum-security Millhaven Institution west of Kingston, Ont., concluded it was "sound and followed all applicable laws and policies."
"The news that this inmate had been transferred from a maximum to a medium-security institution upset many Canadians and I know that many are looking for answers," Kelly said in Ottawa.
She said she made the "exceptional" move to authorize the release of personal information.
"I believe it is in the public interest to have a better understanding of the reasons why this specific decision was made."
Bernardo is serving an indeterminate life sentence for the kidnapping, assault and murders of 15-year-old Kristen French and 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffy in the early 1990s near St. Catharines, Ont.
The 85-page review released Thursday shows Bernardo's security classification was reviewed 14 times between 1999 and 2022, and each time he met the criteria to be moved to a medium-security institution.
It says these results had previously been "overridden" because his high-profile status placed him at a greater safety risk, and most of his interactions with other offenders in maximum-security prison were extremely restricted and controlled.
The review says Bernardo applied to be moved to the medium-security Bath Institution in June 2022, but a security review that found he met the bar for transfer was "overridden" because of his failure to integrate with other inmates.
Bernardo then worked with senior officials at Millhaven to develop an integration plan, the review says, and was "fully integrated" within that prison by July 2022.
He then successfully applied to be moved to the La Macaza Institution in Quebec. That facility offers treatment for sex offenders.
From last July until the transfer in May, "there were no documented incidents or behavioural concerns" reported by staff, the review says.
"Staff at Millhaven Institution reiterated that the ongoing impediment to the offender’s reclassification to medium was his failure to integrate; thus, upon, integration, there were no longer grounds to warrant a maximum security classification."
The review found that the correctional service followed applicable laws and policies when it came to victim notification, Kelly said.
But it noted that notifying victims' families the day of Bernardo's transfer created "surprise and shock."
The review committee said it "recognized that news of the transfer, including the nature of notification, caused emotional distress for victims.”
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, who has faced calls from the Conservatives to resign over his handling of the issue, had said Correctional Service Canada owed Canadians an explanation given the severity of Bernardo's crimes.
Mendicino had also said he would issue a directive instructing the federal correctional service to ensure the public safety minister is formally and directly notified in advance of the transfer of high-profile or dangerous offenders.
Mendicino has said that he was not been briefed about the transfer until the day after it happened, despite his staff being notified in the months before.
Kelly noted the atmosphere created by Bernardo's transfer, but reiterated that the Canadian correctional system is fundamentally based on the rehabilitation of offenders.
"Hearing about this case so intensely over the past several weeks has brought up strong emotions and rightly so," she said at a news conference.
"Crimes that continue to have an immeasurable impact on the victims and their families. We want justice to be served. … We want Canadians to have confidence in our decisions."
Speaking to reporters at an unrelated event in Kingston, Ont., on Thursday morning, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sidestepped direct questions about whether he remains confident in Mendicino, saying only that an MP's presence in cabinet signals that he has confidence in them.
Trudeau said the concerns of the families of Bernardo's victims are top of mind for his government, adding the upcoming report from the correctional service would highlight the "thinking and processes" behind his controversial transfer.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 20, 2023.

In the relentless pursuit of turning back the hands of time, the beauty industry has witnessed a revolution in the form of Botox, a transformative cosmetic procedure that has become synonymous with defying the aging process. Botox, derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, has emerged as a powerful tool in the arsenal against wrinkles and fine lines, offering a non-invasive solution to combat the visible signs of aging. Celebrating its discovery’s medical roots, where it was initially utilized to treat conditions like muscle spasms and migraines, Botox has evolved into a cosmetic powerhouse, captivating the attention of individuals seeking a rejuvenated and youthful appearance. The magic of Botox lies in its ability to temporarily paralyze muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles. When strategically injected into specific facial muscles, it smoothens out lines and creases, creating a more youthful and refreshed look.
The procedure is quick, relatively painless, and requires minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those with busy lifestyles. Its non-permanent nature allows individuals to experiment with their appearance without committing to long-term changes, adding to its allure. Botox has transcended its initial cosmetic applications, extending its influence beyond just erasing wrinkles. The treatment has found success in addressing a myriad of aesthetic concerns, including reshaping the jawline, lifting the eyebrows, and even reducing excessive sweating. This versatility has propelled Botox into the forefront of aesthetic medicine, where its transformative power is harnessed for various purposes beyond mere wrinkle reduction. The psychological impact of Botox cannot be overlooked. As individuals witness their wrinkles fade away, there is a notable boost in self-confidence and a revitalized sense of self-esteem. The correlation between physical appearance and mental well-being has been a subject of extensive research, and Botox has emerged as a tangible link between the two.
The ripple effect of a smoother, more youthful appearance extends beyond the physical realm, influencing emotional and social aspects of an individual’s life. However, the transformative power of Botox does not come without its share of controversies in cedar hills therapeutics. Critics argue that the pursuit of eternal youth through cosmetic interventions can perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards and contribute to societal pressures. Ethical considerations surrounding informed consent and the potential for overuse of Botox raise essential questions about the boundaries between personal choice and societal expectations. In conclusion, the transformative power of Botox is undeniable, reshaping not only faces but also perceptions of beauty and aging. As this cosmetic marvel continues to evolve, striking a balance between aesthetic enhancement and responsible use remains crucial. Ultimately, the quest for ageless beauty is a personal journey, and Botox stands as a testament to the ever-expanding possibilities in the realm of cosmetic innovation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It’s common knowledge that laptops age over time, and eventually the time comes to throw in the towel and fork out the cash for a new one.
But sometimes, when a laptop is having issues, the solution is actually in the battery.
The first (and most obvious) sign that the battery is dying, is that it runs out of power at a faster rate. Batteries have a certain amount of times they can be charged and discharged, this is called a charging cycle. Once the battery hits a certain number of these cycles (400 is the average), the performance quality drops and it fails to hold its charge. If you regularly use your laptop plugged in, your battery may be past its use-by date.
Random shutdowns are also a key sign that there is something wrong with the battery. This can also be a sign that the hard drive is beginning to fail as well.
Lastly, overheating. If your laptop is overheating constantly, especially underneath, it may a be another sign that the battery is on its last legs.
While batteries can’t necessarily be ‘fixed’, there are ways to restore them and extend their life and delay having to purchase a new one.
The first method is to monitor your power use. Most laptops have built apps that allow you to monitor power usage, and view which apps are draining it the most. Try closing the apps that are using the most energy (Google Chrome and Facebook normally do this), and switching off Bluetooth, this will relieve pressure on the battery.
Secondly, removing the battery when it isn’t needed. If you are frequently using your PC laptop while plugged in, you may want to take the battery out, and leave the laptop plugged into the wall. This will save the battery cycles for when you use the computer remotely. Unfortunately, you can't do this with MacBooks.
Nowadays laptop batteries are within a reasonable price range for anybody to afford. They can be as cheap as $20.00 and can climb well into the hundreds, depending on what type of laptop you own.
It is important to remember when buying a battery that you will get what you pay for. A cheaper battery may end up doing more harm to your laptop, especially if it's an older model.
As for MacBooks, we recommend getting Apple or an authorised Apple reseller to have a look
Don’t just toss your battery away, as they contain harmful chemicals and if they end up in a landfill, they can cause extensive environmental damage.
There are battery recycling plants located all over Melbourne, you can find your nearest one here. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I have drawn on the 2019 fashion trend to create this animal print beaded bead bracelet. The pattern includes four different animal prints. So, you can use all or just some of them. Now, let me tell you a little more about this project.
You simply need seed beads to make your animal print beaded bead bracelet components. I used size 11, but this will also work with size 8 seed beads.
Each beaded bead needs just a few seed beads. So, this could be a good project for clearing some of your stash. You can keep to the traditional animal colours, or go a little wild. So, use your imagination as you decide on your materials.
If you are using up beads from your stash, then please make sure you use all beads of the same size and brand. As I explained in this blog, different brands of seed bead vary slightly in size. So, if you try to mix them, your beaded beads will come out a little wonky!
To make the complete bracelet, you also need:
- 20″ length of leather cord
- Two leather crimps
- A magnetic clasp
- Optional (depending on your crimps and clasp): two jump rings or split rings
For the beaded beads, you will just need a needle and scissors. You may want a pair of flat nose pliers for attaching the leather crimps.
Experience and Techniques
This animal print beaded bead bracelet is a beginner level project. You will use basic brick stitch to make your beaded beads. I have explained the technique in great detail and made the pattern charts very easy to follow.
So, you really don’t need any previous experience. I have also included instructions for attaching the crimps and clasp to your bracelet.
About the animal print beaded bead bracelet
I decided to try a few ‘on trend’ projects this year. So, experimenting with animal print designs came high on my list. Since I am also following my personal beaded bead challenge, this seemed like the perfect project.
Each beaded bead is quick to make. So, I was able to experiment with four different animal print designs. This pattern includes all four:
- Zebra stripe
- Tiger stripe
- Leopart print
- Giraffe print
If you are a more experienced beader, you can extend these patterns to create different pieces of animal print jewellery.
The leather cord wrap around bracelet is a trendy, yet casual, design that seemed to fit well with the animal print idea. So, you should be all set for summer with this project! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Biologique Recherche Massage Glove is an easy to use tool. One side is covered in soft spikes for massaging and the other side with hard spikes for exfoliating.
Massage the whole body with this handy silicon glove and use it with the Biologique Recherche skin care products (exfoliators, moisturizers, skin firmers, etc.). It improves the absorption of the active ingredients and enhances their effects. For a slimming and draining massage, apply your preferred creme on the areas requiring treatment (waist, hips, thighs, buttocks), massage alternately with both the soft and the hard side of the glove in ascending movements to amplify the absorption of the active ingredients. By combining the slimming cream and the Massage Glove, you can remodel the skin's support structure, smooth orange peel skin, stimulate the circulation and reduce the look of stubborn cellulite. For a sport massage apply an anti-inflammatory cream on the painful region and massage energetically for 5 to 10 minutes. RESULT: The muscular tension areas loosen up and muscles relax.

The Meat Industry Association (MIA) and Beef + Lamb NZ (B+LNZ) welcome China’s formal application to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
Joint Media Release from the Meat Industry Association (MIA) and Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ)
Sirma Karapeeva, chief executive of the MIA, said the application is an exciting and important development as New Zealand looks to trade to drive its economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Closer regional integration that includes such an important trading partner like China will allow New Zealand red meat companies to leverage supply chains and deepen their relationships with customers across this important region.
“The CPTPP was conceived with a vision for deeper regional integration and a closer more connected trading block within the Asia Pacific. The broad interest in membership and China’s formal application to join the agreement demonstrates that the CPTPP is delivering on this ambition.”
B+LNZ chief executive Sam McIvor said: “The New Zealand red meat sector is supportive of new members who can demonstrate that they are willing and able to meet the benchmark for high standards and ambition that the original members set for the CPTPP.
“The China-New Zealand FTA, and the recent upgrade, demonstrates the high quality and commitment to trade liberalisation that China is capable of and will be most welcome in a CPTPP context.
“Furthermore, the expansion of CPTPP is an important step in continuing to update and harmonise trade rules in the Asia-Pacific region. It sends an important message to the wider trade community, including the WTO, that trade rules continue to be important and there remains an appetite to expand these and build closer trade relationships.”

Hope is the belief in a positive future. It is an optimistic, exciting sense of what is possible. In this time of global health crisis, economic uncertainty, racial reckoning, and physical disconnection from other human beings, the day to day challenges of doing everything differently make it difficult to hold onto hope. Yet hope is an antidote to despair. It can give us the energy to persevere and can offer a sense of purpose, calm and connection. Parents are children’s first hope builders. Your presence, connection, and attitude can help your child be more hopeful. They look to you to set their sail. Try some of these ideas to bring hope into your regular family practice.
- Name hope. Share examples of when you feel hopeful about something. Encourage your child to do the same. Notice how the positive energy of hope impacts the situation. What you have hope for may or may not turn out to be true, but the awareness and sense of hope is powerful.
- See their strengths. You want your children to be the best they can be, but often that results in noticing what is wrong, more than what is right. Spend some time thinking about who your child is. What are their strengths? What do you appreciate about them? Think about how their strengths will help them be adults that make the world a better place. Notice your child’s strengths out loud. Their belief in themselves and their capability will foster their hope.
- Avoid rescuing children. If they bump up against an obstacle, let them you know that you have faith that they can figure it out. Encourage them to work it out for themselves. This doesn’t mean abandonment, you can coach them or give them ideas Stay connected and interested…as a cheerleader rather than fixer.
- Talk about the future. Plan for the future. As new opportunities come up, discuss the possible outcomes. It is okay to be unsure, but find things that help you feel hopeful about the situation. Start a savings account that your whole family contributes to for a future outing together. Put things on the calendar for the future and model flexibility when plans need to be altered when the time comes.
- Start a hands-on project. Many of our hours these days are spent in the online world. Find a project to do with your kids that allows them to touch materials and use tools. It’s good for them to be a part of the beginning, middle and completion of something real that they can see and hold. This process from conception through to finished product inspires a sense of competence, accomplishment and control that inspires hope. Here are some ideas for DIY projects.
- Read, read, read. Books can be a wonderful resource for helping children build hope. There are lots of children’s stories about finding joy and connection on the other side of adversity. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Hiring a Foreign Nanny or Household Worker in Turkey
February, 13th, 2024
Turkey, like most countries, has a shortage of local workers who are willing to be nannies and caregivers for elders. Many families therefore seek the services of a foreign national to fill these in-home roles to care for children or elderly parents. In Turkey, both foreigners and Turkish nationals often seek to employ a full-time live-in foreign household worker, and contrary to popular belief, work permits are possible. Given that residence permits do not grant work authorization, this article seeks to provide information on obtaining work permits for household employees.
The sponsoring employer who wishes to hire a full-time household employee, must apply for a work permit under their name and their specific residential address where the nanny will be employed. This work permit is exclusive to the designated address, meaning the nanny can not work at another address even if the sponsor employer is the same.
Criteria for Sponsoring a Nanny/Household Worker Work Permit
When considering hiring a nanny or household worker, the sponsor employer should meet the following criteria:
1. E-Signature: Acquiring an e-signature token is mandatory for filing the work permit application. Various e-signature providers in Turkey may provide this token that can be obtained by a Turkish national or foreigner with lawful status in Turkey.
2. Financial Eligibility: The sponsor must demonstrate sufficient financial income or means to support the nanny’s employment.
3. Minimum Salary Requirement: The nanny must be compensated at minimum wage or higher in Turkey, which is subject to periodic adjustments.
4. Purpose of Employment: The employment purpose must align with at least one of the following:
a. Child Care (children must be minors)
b. Elderly Care
c. Patient Care
The employment purpose must be specified in the employment agreement executed with the nanny as well as in the work permit application form. Note there are additional requirements for each purpose to evidence the requirement of a nanny. For instance, if the purpose of employment is to take care of minor children, the sponsor must provide the Turkish/Foreign ID Numbers of the children. Generally, if one of these conditions is well-evidenced in the application and no other negative conditions exist, the Ministry of Labor is quite willing to grant a permit.
Filing of the Work Permit Application
If the foreign nanny candidate in Turkey has a valid residence permit that allows them to legally reside in Turkey six months or more the sponsor can file a work permit application for the nanny domestically in Turkey. Processing time is between 1 – 2 months and once approved, the nanny must update their address registration to the employer’s address within 20 business days if they will be in a live-in position.
If the nanny does not possess a valid residence permit, they must apply for a work visa at the Turkish Consulate in their country of residence or citizenship. The Turkish Consulate will issue a reference number, enabling the sponsor employer in Turkey to file the work permit application. The nanny can enter Turkey to work only after their work permit is approved and they collect their work visa from the Turkish Consulate abroad. The nanny must complete their address registration within 20 business days of arrival.
Social Security Registration
After receiving work permit approval, to conclude the hiring process, the sponsor employer must notify the Turkish Social Security Institution (“SGK”) before the nanny commences employment. Proof of payment of social security premiums is an important step that is needed to renew the permit as well.
In conclusion, navigating the process of hiring a foreign nanny or household worker in Turkey requires careful attention to legal requirements and procedural details. The process as outlined requires obtaining an e-signature, ensuring the sponsor employer meets all necessary criteria, ensuring the applicant has no negative background issues, collecting required documents from both the nanny and employer, executing an employment agreement, filing the work permit in Turkey or from abroad, completing the address registration of the nanny, and finally notifying the social security institution about the commencement of employment. With this procedure, the Turkish government ensures families have the household staff they need while protecting the employment rights of the domestic employee. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Will insurance cover breast reductions? For many women, the goal of undergoing breast reduction surgery is to alleviate unwanted symptoms caused by their breast size. In these cases, the patients tend to believe that the procedure is reconstructive rather than cosmetic and as a result, insurance should cover it. Unfortunately, however, this is not always the case. Breast reduction is generally considered to be a cosmetic procedure by most insurance companies. In some circumstances, insurance may cover the cost of the procedure. We outlined what you will need to show your insurance company to have your surgery covered. Read on to learn more!
What is breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction surgery, medically referred to as reduction mammaplasty, helps women who suffer symptoms from overly large breasts. Many women develop back, shoulder, and neck problems due to their breast size. In addition, some find everyday tasks difficult or suffer from constant rashes or nerve pain. Breast reduction surgery can help in these specific cases. In this procedure, the surgeon removes excess fat, skin, and tissue to achieve the desired cup size.
How much does a breast reduction cost?
The cost of breast reduction surgery varies. There are many factors that influence the cost of the procedure. These factors fluctuate based on the location of your surgery as well as the years of experience and expertise of your doctor. Below are the factors you should consider.
- Anesthesia costs
- Location of the procedure
- Hospital costs
- Doctor’s fee
- Medical tests
According to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons from 2018, the average cost of a breast reduction is $5,680. However, this number only reflects patients who had breast reduction for aesthetic purposes.
Will my insurance cover breast reduction surgery?
As mentioned, most patients believe that if surgery is considered reconstructive or medically necessary, it will be covered by health insurance. In the same vein, if a procedure is considered cosmetic, it will not be covered.
In the case of breast reduction surgery, most insurance companies consider it to be a cosmetic procedure. This can change if the patient can prove that they suffer from many health issues. The patient must also prove that she attempted multiple other ways to fix those issues prior to undergoing corrective surgery. If you make a strong enough case to your insurance company, it may then be considered a reconstructive procedure. As a result, the company will cover your procedure.
It is important to note that this is becoming rarer and rarer. Every insurance company has a different set of standards that would deem the surgery reconstructive. This inconsistency makes it difficult for plastic surgeons to know if they can help their patients receive this financial relief.
To know for sure if your insurance carrier will cover your procedure, call a representative. He or she can talk you through the carrier’s specific requirements for covering breast reduction. On average, it takes between three to six months of preparation with your insurance carrier to have it covered. This might include mandatory secondary consultations with other healthcare providers to confirm that the procedure is medically necessary. It could also include physical therapy or chiropractic care to qualify for insurance coverage for breast reduction.
If insurance covers the procedure, you will still be responsible for the deductible and any copays.

- Read your insurance coverage materials. The carrier’s online resources for your particular level and type of health insurance coverage will clarify if the procedure can be covered.
- Reach out to your insurance carrier. While doing your own research is important, don’t depend solely on your own interpretation of the carrier’s rules. Call your insurance company and see if pre-approval is required for breast reduction surgery. Find out what documentation your insurance carrier requires from your physician to establish medical necessity. In addition, if a second medical or surgical opinion may be necessary before approving coverage for your breast reduction. Finally, ask if the carrier must choose the physician for your second opinion.
- Find out about in-network vs. out-of-network doctors. Having a surgeon that you trust performing your breast reduction is crucial to a successful outcome that you will love. However, if you have a network restriction that limits your choice of surgeons, you might want to find out if you can use the plastic surgeon of your choice. Some companies allow out-of-network procedures at a reduced rate of coverage, while some companies disallow out-of-network care in non-emergency situations.

Researchers Sharpen DNA Mapping
Tue, 10/08/2024 - 11:12am
Proof-of-concept experiments in the Rice lab of chemist Christy Landes identified DNA sequences as short as 50 nucleotides at room temperature, a feat she said is impossible with standard microscopes that cannot see targets that small, or electron microscopes that require targets to be in a vacuum or cryogenically frozen.
The technique called “super-localization microscopy” has been known for a while, Landes said, but its application in biosensing is just beginning. Scientists have seen individual double-stranded DNA molecules under optical microscopes for years, but the ability to see single-stranded DNA is a new achievement, and breaking the diffraction limit of light adds value, she said.
The work by Landes, Rice postdoctoral associate Jixin Chen and undergraduate student Alberto Bremauntz is detailed in the American Chemical Society journal Applied Materials and Interfaces.
The Rice researchers call their super-resolution technique “motion blur point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography” (mbPAINT). With it, they resolved structures as small as 30 nanometers (billionths of a meter) by making, essentially, a movie of fluorescent DNA probes flowing over a known target sequence along an immobilized single strand of DNA.
The probes are labeled with a fluorescent dye that lights up only when attached to the target DNA. In the experimental setup, most would flow by unseen, but some would bind to the target for a few milliseconds, just long enough to be captured by the camera before the moving liquid pulled them away. Processing images of these brief events amidst the background blur allows the researchers to image objects smaller than the natural diffraction limits of light-based imaging, which do not allow for the resolution of targets smaller than the wavelength of light used to illuminate them.
Even the Landes lab’s system is subject to these physical limitations. Individual images of fluorescing probes on targets are just a pixelated blur. But it’s a blur with a bright spot, and careful analysis of multiple images allows the researchers to pinpoint that spot along the strand.
“The probes are moving so fast that in real time, all we would see with the camera is a line,” Chen said. But when the camera firing at 30-millisecond intervals happened to catch a bound probe, it clearly stood out. The probes sometime picked out two sequences along a strand that would have been seen as a single blur via regular fluorescent microscopy.
Landes said one goal for mbPAINT is to map ever-smaller fragments of DNA. “Eventually, we’d like to get down to a couple of nucleotides,” she said. “Some diseases are characterized by one amino acid mutation, which is three nucleotides, and there are many diseases associated with very small genetic mutations that we’d like to be able to identify.
“We’re thinking this method will be ideally suited for diseases associated with small, localized mutations that are not possible to detect in any other inexpensive way,” she said.
Landes sees mpPAINT as not only more cost-effective but also able to capture information electron microscopes cannot.
“One of the reasons people invented electron microscopy is to image objects smaller than light’s diffraction limit, because biomolecules such as proteins and DNAs are smaller than that,” she said. “But electron microscopy requires cryogenic temperatures or a vacuum. You can’t easily watch things react in solution.
“The advent of this technology allows us to see the biological processes of nano-sized objects as they happen in water, with buffers and salts, at room temperature, at body temperature or even in a cell. It’s very exciting,” Landes said.
Rice graduate students Lydia Kisley and Bo Shaung are co-authors of the paper.

A warning has been issued from the chairman of South Korea’s top financial regulator, that a new financial law can cause major problems as early as September.
Things are about to get tricky for all 200 cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea. Last week, the country’s National Assembly’s Political Affairs Committee held a general meeting.
Following the meeting, the chairman of South Korea’s top financial regulator, the Financial Services Commission (FSC), Eun Sung-soo, issued a warning that all of the exchanges in the country are at risk of being shut down.
Under the new and revised Special Funds Act (Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information,) all cryptocurrency exchanges are required to be registered with the FSC.
“We are now accepting applications for them to officially register their business by the timeline, but no exchange operators have applied to date,” Chairman Eun explained.
Considering none of them have applied for registration, they were warned that they could be shut down in September.
The bill in question is the new and “improved” Special Funds Act that went into effect on March 25. After allowing a mandatory 6 months grace period, it will be properly enforced, starting September 24.
Tougher Requirements on Crypto Providers
When it comes to the new rules, the Special Funds Act will require any cryptocurrency providers, this includes crypto exchanges, to obtain a certification of Information Security Management System (ISMS) in addition to the issuance of real-name accounts.
In order for the exchanges to meet the new requirements, the FSC is in charge of the registration. This has caused concern among many about being able to meet the new requirements, one major issue being the real-name accounts.
Danger in Price Fluctuations
FSC communicated that profits from any cryptocurrency investment will be up for taxation, beginning year 2022. This was already announced back in February, when the Ministry of Strategy and Finance revealed that income that is generated from crypto transactions will be classified as other income and will therefore also be taxed at a rate of 20%.
Government Reminding Of Previous Warnings
Although the latest news may come as a shock for many, it shouldn’t. The FSC Chairman told the South Korean press that crypto currencies are not considered real currencies and reminded the public that the government has repeatedly warned investors about the dangers of sudden price fluctuations.
There Is Still Time
Considering there is still time left on the clock to get their affairs in order before September, the revised bill should not have to cause all 200 crypto exchanges to shut down, but there is definitely a big risk of some of them being affected. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Bushfire Sense and Nonsense By Viv Forbes
Bushfires are normal events in this season in tropical and sub-tropical latitudes of the southern hemisphere – in Australia, Africa and South America. Even Captain Cook noted many fires in Eastern Australia in 1770, long before the era of “global warming” hysteria. What is unusual is the number and ferocity of recent Australian fires. Destructive bushfires need three things – a big load of dry fuel, hot dry winds and a point of ignition. A big load of dry fuel, close to towns and buildings, in this season, is a sign of gross mis-management (seen most commonly in public lands). That fuel should have been raked, dozed or burnt in safer weather conditions. Hot dry winds are not unusual in this season in these latitudes – no use whinging. But how do 100+ bushfires start suddenly? Machinery occasionally starts fires but not 120 fires in a short time. There have been no lightning storms so who are the arsonists or idiots starting these fires? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Los Cabos Big Game Charter Boat Classic returns November 15th – 18th to the southern tip of Baja again this year. This relatively new event is sponsored by the Los Cabos Tourism Board and managed by Bonnier Corporation. Bonnier is the publisher of Sport Fishing magazine, Marlin magazine and many other outdoor titles. The 4 day event serves as a celebration of the fishery and as a thank you to anglers of all skill levels for supporting the vibrant Los Cabos area. The tournament is designed for anyone and everyone from serious anglers to weekend warriors and even first time anglers. Part of the reason the tournament is so inclusive is because of the low barrier to entry. In fact, it’s FREE! The event host, manager, and sponsors put up the entire $10,000 a day in cash prizes (for a total of $40,000).
9 cash prizes are awarded each day for 4 days, there is even a tournament style weigh in for the boats returning to the dock every afternoon. A winner is chosen each day for catching the largest 3 tuna, wahoo, and dorado. The angler who catches the biggest fish in each category on each day will take home $1,800, the runner up will be awarded $900, and the angler in third place will get $635. Registration is currently open!
However, the cash prizes are not the only awards that anglers are competing over. There is a billfish release category, anglers must email photos or videos of the release, and every angler who participates will get a certificate and be entered in a drawing for special prizes. Since many of the anglers competing in the tournament are new to the sport (or new to big game fishing), the billfish release division is a great way to teach anglers that catch and release is standard for billfish. There are also trophies for the lady angler and junior angler (under 17) who catch the largest fish each day. A slew of other prizes are provided by the event sponsors including Lucas Marine Products, Aftco, King Sailfish Mounts, Carey Chen, Yeti, Berkley, Penn, Costa Sunglasses, and more.
To make the tournament even more inclusive they have arranged for weigh-ins at three locations. Anglers fishing out of the East Cape can bring their fish to the Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort, in San José del Cabo the weigh-in is at the Puerto Los Cabos Palapas, and in Cabo San Lucas at the Marina Fundadores Weigh-Gantry.
The only requirement to enter the tournament is that you are an amateur angler or a professional angler that does not work in the Los Cabos or East Cape area. Anglers in the tournament must also be fishing on a licensed charter boat. The charter boats range from 20′ pangas to 40′ sport fishers (and larger). Beyond these requirements there are not many rules, anglers may pass the rod, receive assistance, etc… Fishing is from 7am until 2:30pm each day to mimic typical charter boat operations.
Bonnier Corporation and the Los Cabos Tourism Board are expecting more than 400 anglers to fish the tournament on around 130 different charter boats. There will be a diverse group of participants from all over the world, but especially Mexico, the US, and Europe. Registration is open now as well as every evening during the tournament for fishing the following day.
As the only free anglers event in Los Cabos it draws crowds of anglers with a fresh and energetic approach to competitive fishing. Past participants note that the event added a lot of fun to the day, from the thrill of the contest to seeing the weigh ins etc…. The week before Thanksgiving is also a great time to visit Los Cabos, since it is after the peak season flights, charters, and hotels are more reasonably priced but the weather is perfect and the fishing is excellent.
Plan your next vacation around the Los Cabos Big Game Charter Boat Classic and find out why this event is gaining so much popularity through word of mouth and rapidly growing every year.

Fifty episodes in to InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast, a returning guest brings his intermodal expertise to help check in on the state of the market. Known as the "Intermodalist," Larry Gross is the President and Founder of Gross Transportation Consulting, this year's IANA Silver Kingpin Award Winner, and a returning guest - check out episode five for more on his background.
For this edition, Larry tells us what the numbers are saying about the intermodal market as the year winds down, how port (and import) related intermodal activity is outpacing domestic intermodal, how the mode is doing versus truckload, and how intermodal is doing compared to its norms. Plus, we look ahead to 2025 and the factors that could affect intermodal - and the economy in general - moving forward, like President-Elect Trump's proposed tariff policies, a once-again impending East Coast port strike, continued Red Sea/Suez Canal unrest, and potential "black swan" events to be determined.
We also spend time south of the border to discuss intermodal in Mexico, as well as for cross-border freight. Larry tells us that while the numbers are not showing tremendous growth for cross-border intermodal, the way the market is behaving suggests otherwise. He does note that intermodal within the country is growing at a very strong rate.

Aligning financial performance and climate in active fixed income
Positive climate impacts and financial returns are not incompatible. This is how LGIM’s AFI team factors climate change into our portfolios.
The following blog is an extract from our article: Moving toward future-proof portfolios: Aligning financial performance and climate in active fixed income.
2023 was the hottest year on record, with extreme weather events becoming far more frequent. We believe investors have a crucial role to play in driving the transition to a low-carbon economy and mitigating climate-related risks.
How should an investor balance a focus on reducing the negative climate impacts of their investments with a desire for financial returns?
This negative framing of the climate question is evident to many investors, who see balancing carbon and returns as an increasing challenge. However, it is our firm belief that instead of framing the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition in these terms, investors could be asking a different, more positive question: how can these opportunities and risks be addressed simultaneously?
In fact, we believe that addressing the opportunities and risks created by the energy transition to help target positive impacts on climate outcomes can be closely aligned with a focus on long-term returns. However, far from maximising the potential value created by the transition, in our view many companies are still failing to transition at an optimal pace.
It’s the combination of the negative framing of the climate question and the slow transition progress of many companies that, in our view, create such a significant opportunity for active investors to have both a positive impact on climate outcomes and also target returns. On the one hand, many still misunderstand the fundamentally economic nature of decarbonisation – leading to the possibility of material mispricing for investors to take advantage of as they seek to reduce their climate impact; on the other hand, there is a window of opportunity for investors to engage with and positively influence those companies who continue to underperform their real climate potential.
Net zero or SDGs?
Recently, we have observed that many investors with sustainability priorities have been coalescing their efforts around one of two approaches - investments which focus on a climate-focussed ambition of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and the multi-faceted UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that include climate but also extend to many other environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations.
Our net zero framework primarily focuses on carbon in the value chains of its constituent companies, especially coal extraction or power generation, and alignment with LGIM’s Climate Impact Pledge. Underpinning our net zero framework is LGIM's Destination@Risk model, which we will explore in more detail later in this document. This model enables us to robustly measure the climate risk embedded in the portfolio and its climate alignment. It combines decarbonisation objectives based on backward-looking data and an objective based on forward-looking data (temperature alignment). This allows us to assess climate and transition risk in a way which overlays additional, independent insight to the data which is most commonly available from third-party agencies. Drawing on the energy scenario insights of this framework, the relevant strategies target a 1.5C alignment by 2030.

Alô, alô Mozilla, aquele abraço!
Editor’s Note: I’d like to share a guest post from Ronaldo Lemos and Bruno Magrani of the Center for Technology & Society at FGV Law School, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Next week, Mozilla will participate in the 9th Fórum Internacional do Software Livre (International Free Software Forum – FISL) in Porto Alegre, Brazil. This is the second time that Mozilla will be in Brazil on an “official” visit. This time, the group includes Mitchell Baker (Mozilla’s Chairperson), Chris Blizzard, Marcio Galli, Mary Colvig, Taras Glek and Chris Hofmann. In their visit, they will be in touch with a vibrant and growing community of free software users, developers and enthusiasts. This is a great opportunity both for Mozilla and for the Brazilian community to get together and work with Firefox and other initiatives that promote the core values of the net, including openness and freedom.
Ronaldo Lemos and I have been helping support Mozilla’s presence here in Brazil and at FISL. This is not the first time that our institution, the Center for Technology & Society at the FGV Law School in Rio de Janeiro has participated in the Forum. We’ve worked closely with FISL in the past few years and we launched the Brazilian branch of the Creative Commons project at the Forum in March 2004. This was an unforgettable event, I believe both for us, and for the more than 1,500 participants attending the launch, anxious to hear Minister Gilberto Gil, Marcelo Tas, Terry Fisher, Lawrence Lessig, Luis Nassif, André Midani, Claudio Prado, Joaquim Falcão, and so many others who care a lot about the future of the internet. A video of the launch can be watched here.
This year we are very happy to be back again at the Free Software Forum (this will be our 4th year at the event). Besides organizing/participating in a few panels, we will be there to support Mozilla´s visit the best way we can, including their workshop. We are very honored to do this, especially because we believe Mozilla will find in Brazil a place where not only we share common values, but also, put them into practice, thanks to our natural “tropicalist” mindset, and to the fact that the meaning of “openness” is very strong for us. One symbol of that is the fact that President Lula is expected at the Forum this year, and Brazil is well-known worldwide for its support of free software and free culture. Without further ado, we look forward to a great conference and Mozilla visit! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A Journey of Culinary Delights: Dining at Shai Salon
One evening, I found myself at the captivating Shai Salon, an elegant haven nestled within the resort.

The warm and inviting ambiance made it the ideal spot to unwind, enjoy good company, and create cherished memories.
Cocktail Soiree: Reveling at Hendricks Bar
No stay at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach would be complete without indulging in the craft of mixology at Hendricks Bar. This revered establishment paid homage to world traveler Sir James Hendricks, and every drink served was a masterpiece in itself.
The mixology artisans at Hendricks Bar blended the finest spirits with the mightiest of touches, crafting cocktails that were a symphony of flavours. The elegant interiors and soothing ambience provided the perfect backdrop for engaging conversations and contemplation.

Review your presentation
Does your page still reflect your project? Is it not a reflection of what it was a year ago, two years ago, or even more? Updating your page regularly is essential, as it allows you to explain the constraints you face, the new needs that have arisen or the objectives that will drive you in the coming months. In short, this is the best way to keep your Tipeee page up to date, both convincing and exciting for your community.
Tailor your rewards
You may have noticed that some of the rewards on your page are particularly appealing to your community… or particularly not! This is the perfect time to take a look at your rewards, in order to relaunch your communication with an updated selection of rewards.
New: you can now set up your rewards to automatically send links and files by email, or to assign a role to your Tippers on your Discord server.
Update your goals
The “Goals” module available on your Tipeee page is used to explain your needs to your future Tippers, but also and above all to convince them that their donation will serve to improve your project, your working conditions, etc. As with the presentation, it is therefore essential that the objectives shown on your page are in line with your needs at the current time and in the months to come! Don’t forget that setting structural objectives, expressed in euros per month, will be much more effective in encouraging your community to support you on a long-term basis, with a recurring Tip.
Set up your stream alerts
Whether you’re a seasoned streamer or a newcomer, you’ll probably learn nothing from us when we tell you that these moments of live exchange with your community are likely to bring you new Tips. The “Streaming” section of your Creator page offers you various resources to promote your Tipeee campaign during your streams. Compatible with the main streaming software (Streamlabs, OBS, Xsplit, etc.), these widgets will allow you to showcase the donations made during your live streams and to thank your Tippers live!
Integrate Tipeee as a means of payment on your website
This is one of the new features on Tipeee this fall: you can now integrate a Tipeee payment module directly into your website or blog, so that your readers can support you without ever leaving your world! This module is available in an iFrame or pop-in version, and you can integrate it into your site’s layout in just a few clicks: on the home page, at the bottom of articles, in a page dedicated to donations, etc.
By integrating the hosted payment on your site, you spare your community from having to make a stop by your page on Tipeee, and therefore multiply the chances of receiving Tips.
Bring your projects to life
Another new feature this fall: you can now create a Tipeee page focused on a specific objective! These new pages, which are more similar to “classic” crowdfunding, will allow you to promote and finance a specific project, such as a new concept, a complete season, exceptional content, a book, but also a material investment, a physical event, etc.
Launching your fundraising is done in a few clicks, and you can launch this page with the same Tipeee account (and therefore the same information) as your “regular” Tipeee page.
Do you have questions about how Tipeee works or a problem with the site? For all your technical questions, write to us at firstname.lastname@example.org, and we will be happy to answer you within 48 working hours. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Fishing is a hobby enjoyed by people of all ages around the world. When heading out onto the water, there are a few basic pieces of equipment needed to ensure a successful trip. Fishing can be as expensive or as inexpensive a hobby as you want.
A fishing pole is an essential part of your fishing gear and of your fishing trip. The fishing line goes from the pole into the water.
A fishing reel is attached to a pole and allows an angler to cast out the bait and reel it back in with a fish. Spinning, bait-cast, spin-cast and fly are popular types of reels.
Fishing line is also needed to get the bait and hook into the water. There are several different types, including monofilament, braided and fluorocarbon.
Bait is needed to attract the fish. There are many different types of bait–both artificial and natural. Artificial baits mimic the natural food sources of fish. When you go fishing, you will need hooks to catch the fish once it bites your bait. Hooks are normally included in artificial baits, while the angler usually applies the natural bait to a hook. Hooks Bait is necessary. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
"Until we discover what it is to have peace with God, we're not going to discover the peace of God." -Alistair Begg
The human heart craves peace. Some look for peace through possessions. Others find peace in a pill. But true inner-peace comes through the person of Jesus Christ. As we look at Luke 2, we’ll witness the Prince of Peace lying as a babe in a manger. Join us to listen to Truth For Life with Alistair Begg.

Every time I travel, something is surprising and different about the place that I wasn’t anticipating. The biggest surprise for me on this trip was all of the smoking. The frequency, the amount, and the demographic who partake in the activity are really astounding. I start with this to then pivot and address the sustainability initiatives going on in Greece at present. It seems that, in my opinion, the citizens of Greece are more interested in the sustainability of the city around them, than they are in their own physical health! In terms of the supply chain, I believe it begins with what you put into your body before it can have an effect on the world around you. The traditional linear supply chain is now being phased out due to research about the environmental effects it leads. This traditional linear chain takes natural resources, turns them into a good or product, and then gets discarded. Similar to 99% of everything produced goes to waste just six months later. It’s terrible. It’s surprising to me that the closed-loop supply chain hasn’t gained traction sooner, as there is money to be made from the more sustainable practices. I guess that since it requires more work, and doesn’t play into the American ‘get rich quick’ query, it hasn’t been able to make an impact until something detrimental were to come of it, ie global warming, waste, pollution levels, etc. I think as time has gone on, many consumers are changing their attitudes in terms of consumption and realizing that there is no need to have excess things. Having said this, it makes for the perfect opportunity to purge the things we don’t need, in a sustainable way, to begin and help maintain a closed-loop supply chain. In a perfect world, closed-loop supply chains would be the only kind we know. This way, nothing would really go to waste, and everything would be used to create something else, therefore increasing the longevity of the smallest things. Closed-loop supply chains are very tough to achieve as there are only certifications out for companies, not individuals. These companies that are producing the goods and services that we buy are the ones responsible for overconsumption and pollution, as individuals are astronomically smaller comparatively. The change will come faster and more direct if it comes from the top. We as consumers and individuals can facilitate this through our consumer attitudes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Ask me this 5, or even 3, years ago, and I would've spouted on about the big "C" word, and the importance of raising funds for diabetes research. 2 years ago my focus was almost solely on advocacy. Today, to be honest, it's a mixed bag, but overall, I'm focused on the now.
While I understand that a cure is not in the immediate future, I so still believe with all of my heart that there is one out there, and that the number one barrier to discovering it is money. As a parent of a child with type 1, I can't stop believing in a cure because it's the ultimate goal, the holy grail so to speak. But do I actively seek a cure and tirelessly fund-raise for it? No, not anymore.
And I certainly understand the critical importance and role of advocacy. There are simply too many people who do not receive, or cannot afford, even the most basic of diabetes care, such as insulin and test strips. There are too many children who do not receive government funded insulin pumps, and there are far too many people suffering the side effects of type 1 diabetes, such as blindness, neuropathy, and kidney problems. Type 1 diabetes is a cripplingly expensive disease and we cannot simply sit back while others struggle. We have the opportunity to be not only a voice, but a gateway between those with information, and those without.
Today, I'm focused on the now. On the present and nothing more. I'm purposefully letting go of the past, and not worrying about the future. I have wasted far too much time and energy stressing over yesterday, and obsessing over a tomorrow that is beyond my control. The present is where I live, and I'm taking care of myself and my family as best I possibly can. I am learning and growing constantly, and teaching my children to do the same. In terms of diabetes, we are focused on day to day care: regular testing, carb counting, daily exercise, consistent sleep patterns. Tomorrow'a A1c, or future complication risk, is not dictated by what we do in the future, it is based on what we do today, and everyday, one day at a time. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Over the past couple of years, Wiltshire has attracted front page attention around the world due to the Novichok attacks that took place in 2018.
It’s not a county that regularly draws the attention of the world’s press, but it has been building an impressive reputation as one of the UK’s 5 best places to do business.
Bounded by Swindon to the north, and Salisbury to the south, Wiltshire occupies an enviable location in the south west. Whether you’re commuting to London, travelling from Heathrow, linking up with clients in Bristol, or visiting offices in Cardiff the transport connections are great. There’s currently 38,000 businesses that have chosen to locate in this beautiful county. Between them they generate a sizeable £18 billion.
Demand for Business Storage in Wiltshire is High
It comes as no surprise, therefore, that demand for business storage in Wiltshire is growing in excess of the national average. Whether it’s companies moving office, corporate headquarters undergoing refurbishment, or start ups using storage as a cost-effective stock room, Wiltshire businesses are finding creative ways to take advantage of local storage solutions.
As demand grows, so do the storage facilities. With so many now to choose from, how can businesses be sure that they’re choosing the right solution for their requirements? We’ve put together 5 checks we recommend businesses carry out before making their decision:
Is the Location Local?
Whatever your reason for needing business storage, local facilities make sense. Ideally, you should be able to access your storage container quickly and simply throughout business hours. It’s a good idea to check out any storage facilities you’re considering before making your decision. Is there a well-maintained car park? Is there bright lighting for winter afternoons? Does it feel secure?
Get a Generously Sized Container
Your storage container isn’t a box, it’s a room full of things you’re likely to want to access quickly and easily. Don’t be tempted to skimp on space and make do with a tightly packed storage unit. You’ll only waste time taking everything out in order to try and find something that will inevitably be lurking at the bottom.
What’s the Security Like?
Don’t take anyone’s word when it comes to security; check out the facility first hand. You’ll want to know that entry to the site is secured by access control, that 24 hour CCTV is installed throughout, and that access to all containers is ‘client-only’. You should be offered a unique password, or key code to access your unit, and feel assured that security really is a priority across the site.
Professional storage management includes environmental monitoring and high standards of cleanliness, fire protection and pest control. You’ll know from a visit to a storage facility whether it feels well maintained. There should also be policies covering each of the environmental standards. Get this wrong and you could find that your goods gradually deteriorate because of the storage conditions.
You’re looking for professionals to take care of your goods. Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions, and if you don’t get satisfactory answers, you know to look elsewhere. Most important, you need to feel that these people would ‘go the extra mile’ should there be a problem. If they seem disengaged, uninterested, or abrupt you probably shouldn’t trust your business storage with them. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

No house is perfect. Even the most carefully maintained property will have a small number of imperfections. Almost certainly, you could make an impromptu list of the things you know should be repaired in the property in which you currently live.
The same is true of the property you are proposing to purchase. There are bound to be maintenance items and small defects present that can be dealt with by routine, minor repairs.
However, many people, upon commissioning a building survey, find problems in the report that they had not anticipated having to deal with, over and above routine maintenance items that they were already aware of. The cost of such repairs can be dealt with prior to purchase by an agreement to lower the purchase price to take account of the necessary work that needs to be carried out.

As well renowned building surveyors, we have established these tips to aid in understanding building surveyors and how they may help with potential money-saving opportunities. To find out more about our building surveyors and how their service can help, contact our friendly team today.
Examples Of Saving Opportunities With A Building Surveyor
The term ‘defect’ can be of varying importance, depending on the homebuyer’s preference and requirements. Regardless of how small a defect may be, building surveyors will advise for corrections to avoid further problems further down the line. Defects such as small cracks in rooms that may not be used very often, for example, can then become leaks during certain weather conditions, creating further costs.
Uncovering Hidden Costs
Building surveyors have a keen and well-trained eye for potential hidden costs that may become apparent during certain circumstances. Discovering these issues as early as possible can be hugely beneficial and save on money in a number of ways. If found early enough by a building surveyor, the landlord of the property may be responsible for correcting said defects.
More Accurate Budgeting
Unexpected fees may completely undo plans put together by the homebuyer, for example, their budget planning for each room. Coming across issues throughout the property can lead to budget blocks for certain plans and can leave rooms looking less finished than others, whether it may be decoration, furniture or me. Building surveyors will be able to process correct payment from those responsible for the issues, ensuring homebuyer’s plans aren’t shattered.

Ivan Radenkov has been a children’s writer since he became a father in 2012. His two sons inspired him to write, and they make him live his second childhood every day, as they make mischief and create stories together. Each of their adventures is an inspiration for new stories with pictures and sometimes music. Because Ivan is also a musician, we often read lyrics in his other books, and in the enclosed CDs we hear music with guitars and drums, which the children like.
Ivan Radenkov’s unadulterated, sincere, and funny stories are already being studied by Bulgarian children in third grade. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Ever wonder how to watch free movies on the pc? Most people have. Motion pictures are rarely our initially alternative for activity, nevertheless we are able to usually uncover an element that we loved. It’s often to watch stand up comedy or dramas, even though when we do as a final point decide to head out to the screen. There is no doubt, nevertheless, that this really is the most effective operate we can do though continue to near the pc.
Why is that? The very fact movie, is and television primarily driven by plot of land. If there’s a struggle or simply a puzzle available, a character is either solving the challenge or finding a pay off at the conclusion. Television shows, movies, and comic strips give a lot of time to creating and building plots and people. Characters may well switch, nevertheless these character types and their fights include the motive people today check out the exhibit. Plot could be the spirit and coronary heart of what causes us to satisfied or miserable.
Now check out several of the best motion pictures historical. The last of these I’ll mention these days isn’t a Ordinary Family. I believe, this picture is amongst the greatest comedy motion pictures previously aimed. Forget about the rest of the science fiction dreams and thrillers that came ahead of it. This is real enjoyment and guided by the one and only Clint Eastwood.
No Ordinary Parents are directed by Blake Edwards, and superstars Steve Martin, Christopher Walken, and Robert DeNiro. It had become unveiled in 1980, pursuing the discharge of Rosemary Clooney’s Animal House. The show itself employs a couple (including Martin and Walken) since they handle troubles on its way involving their and them children. Although the appearing is excellent throughout, the best durability of your narrative comes from home Blake Edwards. His route and cinematography are both excellent with out Ordinary Folks are conveniently the most beneficial photograph he previously aimed.
An execllent warAnddread hybrid car film is A Few Good Men. In my view this is without a doubt the most effective flick on the several years, as well as the last of popular movie director for example Clint Eastwood. The storyplot adheres to a warfare seasoned (Eastwood), who results you will find Vietnam to do business with uncle, an ex boyfriend-boatman (Keaton Weeks) right after the struggle. In order to survive.
One of the most emotive movies of year, The Evening Prior to a Fall is really a gorgeous illustration in the awful connection between war, though dealing with the ex, he finishes up in a ugly situation, exactly where he has to destroy a number of regional joe public and representatives. The delayed David Fincher gives one of the more terrific actions of his vocation, because he represents the role on the U.S. jewellry, in whose the world is converted when a kerbside explosive device kills his wife and boy or girl. Even though late Jack Nicholson bakes an great flick kind of this from the after updates of his Chicago trilogy, it’s no less important for its regular meaning of warfare and great loss.
Probably the greatest motion pictures of year, Finding Nemo comes after the life of an clownfish branded Marlin, who sooner or later turns into associated with a modern gang of bass friends currently in an aquarium tank. Marlin also builds up a passion affinity for a person’s woman’s branded Dory, performed by Ellen DeGeneres. It was actually actually can be a TV series, instead of full-period element video.
Other videos in the 2021 twelve months which can be considered among the finest of the season include Skipper Phillips, Mad Center, along with the Key Life span of Bees,. That must be many people is not going to inform you of this picture. Of them 3 videos, The Key Time of Bees is recognised as more of a minuscule-operatic comedy, whilst Captain Phillips is thinking about being a dimly lit, strong activityAndadventure flick by using a fantastic clothing thrown. Whichever of them time tested motion pictures you enjoy, you will quit disappointed in what is now being presented in 2010 by way of the flicks and filmmakers of Hollywood.

Alarming Projections for Global CO2 Emissions
The international community confronts an immense challenge in addressing climate change as projections indicate that this year will witness an all-time high in global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
The Urgent Call for Drastic Carbon Reduction
Scientists assert that carbon pollution must be reduced by nearly half this decade to meet the Paris Agreement’s objective of limiting global warming to 1.5°C (2.7°F) above pre-industrial levels.
Disconcerting Shift in CO2 Trends
Preliminary data suggest that CO2 levels, which experts anticipated to decrease by around five percent this year, now project an increase of up to one and a half percent.
Expert Insights and Warnings
According to AFP, Glen Peters, the scientist leading the research, remarked, “A reduction in emissions by 2023 is highly improbable.”
Current predictions predict a 0.5–1.5 percent increase in CO2 emissions from cars, planes, electricity, heating, and food production.
Peters, who serves as the research director at the CICERO climate research institute in Norway, pointed out, “As emissions persist in rising, achieving pathways compliant with the Paris Agreement becomes progressively more challenging.”
He will publish his final report in December before a crucial UN climate summit in the UAE with world leaders.
The agenda will focus on fossil fuel use, a major cause of CO2 pollution.
However, there is not all bad news.
Hope Amidst Challenges: Transition to Cleaner Energy
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has predicted that global demand for oil, gas, and coal will peak in this decade. The IEA previously forecasted this year that the ‘remarkable’ growth of electric vehicles and cleaner energy technologies will contribute to this.
Nevertheless, the energy watchdog cautioned that “persistently high emissions” during the economic recovery following the pandemic and the energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pose obstacles to addressing global warming.
Peters noted that the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy should already be underway, but he added, “This is regrettably not occurring in any substantial manner at present.”
There were expectations that the highest levels of greenhouse gas emissions would be reached in 2015, followed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, both projections failed to materialize, as carbon dioxide levels continued to increase with no signs of abating.
Prominent scientists have also warned that exceeding 1.5°C (2.7°F) above pre-industrial levels in global temperatures could potentially trigger a hazardous turning point in the climate system.
Peters remarked, “Yet, here we are once more, with a new peak anticipated in 2022 and yet another peak expected in 2023.”
“My concern is that we are only transitioning away from fossil fuels and doing only half the job by increasing clean energy production.”
According to the IEA, CO2 emissions reached an all-time high of 36.8 billion tonnes in 2022, an increase of 321 million tonnes, or 0.9%. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Take a look at how I can bring clarity, focus and confidence to the growth of your business
Let’s focus on you
Running a business can feel like your brain is running at top speed all hours of the day. With new ideas going round in your head constantly, it can be difficult to organise your thoughts into a clear plan that you can execute.
As your business mentor, it’s my job to bring clarity to your goals, find the space to focus on your priorities, and help you make decisions with confidence.
I’ll offer the support, and sometimes the challenge when you need it, to help guide you to your solutions. As we work together, I’ll get under the skin of your business, armed with an understanding of what you want and how you work, I’ll be there to help you face any challenges that crop up.
Your mentoring sessions are entirely led by you and your needs, with me to guide you and help keep us on track. I can help you connect the dots, and be your supportive sounding board to help you see the big picture clearly.
Big picture connections
Details are important, but if they don’t slot into a clear, big picture, how can you know if you’re on the right track? I can help you understand the interconnecting parts of your life, bringing an objective, friendly voice to help you piece everything together.
A challenging viewpoint
Sometimes, getting you to think about your life and business can mean asking difficult questions, and really getting to the heart of what’s holding you back. Together, we’ll address any difficult situations if they arise, and I’ll be there to help challenge and reflect back on what I’m hearing so that you can see the reality.
Achievement through action
I always love seeing that lightbulb moment in my clients. The moment where everything clicks into place, and you know what you want to achieve. By working through your challenges together, we’ll find the best course of action for you to take, with you at the helm.
How it all works
The steps to creating a successful business mentor relationship
Through a free, 30 minute introductory session, you can tell me exactly where you are in your business journey, and what you want to get out of your mentoring sessions. These sessions are great for finding out if we ‘click’, and if we both want to work together.
Before your first session, I’ll send over some resources to help you start thinking about your goals, objectives, and any current challenges you might be facing. This also helps us to get the most out of our sessions, where I can use your reflections to drive our time together. We will also formally contract at this stage.
We’ll work together for 6 sessions. Each of these:
- Is 1.5 hours long.
- Can take place face to face or over zoom.
- Usually happens once a month but can be tailored to fit your schedule
After each meeting, I’ll send over my notes, and anything we can reflect on before our next session, and might even include some action points.
Outside of our sessions, I’ll be available over the phone or by email whenever you need that extra dose of perspective, advice, or even just to update me on your progress.
After your 6th session, we’ll review what we’ve covered so far, and reflect on the goals and objectives we’ve discussed. If you feel it would be beneficial for you, we can also look at recontracting for as long as you need me.
Your investment in your success
Mentoring has the potential to transform your life and your business, which is why it requires financial investment, as well as investment of your time, energy and creativity.
- Total investment of £1,200 for 6 sessions.
- £120 deposit made payable once we’ve agreed to work together.
- Followed by 6 payments of £180, invoiced after each session.
- Or £250 for a one-off session
- 90 minutes to help you get unstuck, and move your business forward.
- Perfect for anyone looking for a one-off meeting to bounce ideas around together, or to find support in making a big decision without the longer-term commitment.
If you’re based outside of the Leeds area but would still prefer a face to face session, my travel and accommodation costs will also be included in your invoice, as long as you agree to this beforehand.

(Seattle, WA) March 6, 2014- Washington Brewers Guild will present its annual Washington Cask Beer Festival at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall on Saturday, March 22. This year’s event will mark its 15th year and it will feature more than 100 cask-conditioned beers by 41 Guild member breweries, the biggest lineup the event has ever had.
Cask Festival is often considered one of the favorite beer events among craft beer aficionados and brewers alike. In addition to the fact that they simply love cask-conditioned beer and there will be more than 100 of them to choose from, its wildly unique beer lineup that consists mainly of one-off and limited releases is also a big draw. Most beers are brewed in small batches and the brewers get to flex their creative muscles by experimenting with different hops, aging in barrels, and using unusual ingredients such as smoked black peppers, orange marmalade and rose petals.
Below are some of the beers that can be found at this year’s Cask Festival:
Hops, hops and more hops With more than 30 IPA’s, Double IPA’s and Imperial IPA’s there will be no shortage of hoppy beer at the Cask Festival Try classic IPA’s including Big Time Bhagwan’s Best IPA and Anacortes IPA, and Imperial and dry-hopped versions such as Boundary Bay Imperial IPA and Schooner Exact Evergreen IPA.
IPA’s with twists For those who love hops but are looking for something different- Elliott Bay Brewing’s Lake City anniversary beer is a Black IPA while 7 Seas Brewing’s Depth Finder India Red Ale is a cross between IPA and Amber. Also try American Brewing’s Revolutionary RyePA and Issaquah Brewhouse’s Contraband IPL, a lager version of their house IPA.
Traditionalists Many brewers are paying homage to the traditional beer styles from England, home of “real ales”. Machine House Brewery, Hi-Fi Brewing and Georgetown Brewing (2nd session only) will all bring their version of English Mild while Maritime Pacific Brewing, Big Al Brewing and Redhook Brewery opted for ESB’s.
(Barrel) aged gracefully Aging is a beautiful thing when it comes to beer, especially when it takes place in a barrel. Naked City Brewery’s Sour beer and Hale’s Ales’ Imperial Stout were aged in bourbon barrels while Fremont Brewing (Dark Star Stout) and Bainbridge Island Brewing (Russian Imperial Stout) aged their beers in whiskey barrels.
People’s Choice Winners Last year’s People Choice winners Silver City Brewery’s Bourbon Barrel Fat Scotch and Diamond Knot Brewing’s Apple-Cinnamon ESB (1st session and 2nd session, respectively) are both returning to the event this year (Bourbon Barrel Fat Scotch available during the 1st session only). Will they be able to defend their titles? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Naptown’s own Skypp recently dropped his latest full-length, a 12-track project in Tenth. The project has no features, but does have production from Zero, SoulCineMatik, Sincere, Mondo Geezy and others. I’ve also added videos that Skypp released for both “Hidden Treasure” and “Uhaul” from the project. Stream via Spotify.

“TENTH was written to put a positive light on our negative upbringings. I grew up on the near east side of town; 10th Street. There’s a lot of negative things you can take away from that sort of upbringing but somehow, I managed to take away a lot of positive. They may not have been delivered to me in the purest form, but it’s not about what you see; it’s about how you perceive it. TENTH is an album full of those experiences; delivered in a way so a person who’s never been through these things can relate.
The album cover is a depiction of what TENTH instilled in my head. Hence, the street signs poking out, and the gold blood dripping. The blood represents the knowledge. Knowledge is one of the most valuable things. In the backdrop is my neighborhood; 10th Street. At the very bottom of the album cover is a quote that says: “What the neighborhood taught me…”
What I’m speaking of are the characteristics you see on the street signs: loyalty, integrity, sacrifice & sophistication. I’d like to thank God for the drive & will to continue bringing my vision to life time after time. I’d like to thank Warren ‘Three V’ Harris & Shadowkat Nightson for their hard work, support, dedication and just believing in this album as much as I do. Uncle Jamz for his incomparable support and guidance throughout the past six years.
Zero, SoulCineMatik, Sincere, Mondo Geezy, One & Walt for their dope production. Without them, this album wouldn’t be half as dope. S. Colli & Al J Hayes for their photography services. Patrick ‘GeekGod’ Bell for the amazing graphic designs. And, all of YOU for your unwavering support!” – Skypp | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
