Chart-topping K-pop group NewJeans announced Thursday their decision to leave their label ADOR, accusing the company of “mistreatment”.
The news comes two weeks after the girl group sent an ultimatum to ADOR parent company HYBE—behind K-pop sensation BTS—telling the firm they would terminate their contract unless a set of demands was met.
“From midnight today, our contract will be terminated with ADOR,” member Minji said at a press conference.
NewJeans made their debut in 2022 and the K-pop phenomenon is among HYBE’s most successful groups.
Band member Hanni said Thursday the group has “faced mistreatment, not just towards us but also including our staff,” without elaborating.
NewJeans experienced “deliberate miscommunications and manipulation regarding multiple areas,” she said.
“This is not the type of work ethic we respect and not one we want to be a part of, and to continue working under a company with no intention of protecting NewJeans would only do us harm,” said Hanni.
ADOR did not immediately respond to AFP requests to comment on the announcement.
The band members said they would continue with their contractual obligations, but acknowledged they may no longer be able to use the name NewJeans.
“However, that doesn’t mean that we are giving up on the name at all,” said Danielle.
“We will continue to fight for NewJeans. NewJeans never die.”
The group’s demands addressed to HYBE included an apology for a comment by one of the company’s managers, who is accused by NewJeans of bullying, and the immediate reinstatement of their producer Min Hee-jin.
Min resigned last week from ADOR’s board of directors after HYBE accused her of breach of trust, which sparked a sprawling legal and PR battle.
Industry experts said the decision by NewJeans was expected.
“The contract termination lawsuit itself has been widely anticipated in the market, so today’s press conference, in a way, seems to have a predetermined outcome,” said Lim Soo-jin, an analyst at Daishin Securities.
“Entertainment analysts have generally excluded NewJeans-related projections from next year’s estimates, so the overall impact is not expected to be substantial,” he told AFP.
The hefty fee which NewJeans may have to pay will compensate for “financial loss” at the label, he added.
The K-pop group may have to face a contractual penalty of up to 620 billion won ($440 million) according to legal experts.
The band members, however, disagree.
“We have not breached the exclusive contract and have done our best in our activities so far, so we believe there is no reason for us to pay any penalty,” said band member Haerin.
“On the contrary, it is ADOR and HYBE that violated the contract, leading to this situation, and the responsibility clearly lies with them.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Chinese Actress Reveals ‘Rotting’ Nose from Cosmetic Surgery That Put Career on Hold
By Ryan General
Chinese actress Gao Liu shared images of her damaged nose resulting from a botched cosmetic procedure.
Liu was doing well in her career and featured in multiple projects when she suddenly stayed out of the public view for months.
The rising star would later explain on her Weibo account that she laid low for months due to a “cosmetic surgical incident” that resulted in nose necrosis, the death of the tip’s tissue, BBC reports.
In sharing the photos with her five million followers, Liu said she wanted to caution people against the possible harm that cosmetic surgery can do.
According to Liu, she decided to undergo surgery after a friend recommended a plastic surgeon from a clinic in Guangzhou.
Liu noted that she was advised to “get a slight trim” and thought that doing so would bolster her career.
“The entire procedure lasted four hours. I thought that in these four hours, I would be made more beautiful,” she wrote on Weibo. “I didn’t expect these four hours to be the beginning of a nightmare.”
She described her nose feeling “irritated and tingly” soon after the procedure was finished.
While the surgeon told her she would be able to go back to work by December or January, she hadn’t done so because her nose got infected repeatedly.
Liu revealed she had thoughts of committing suicide as the situation got worse.
“The skin on the tip of my nose… became darker and darker, and my nose became necrotic,” she added.
The extent of the damage was so severe that she would have to wait for at least a year before she can undergo reconstructive surgery.
Liu said she lost 400,000 yuan ($61,900) in work after being hospitalized for two months.
Data from the Tianhe District Health Bureau revealed that the clinic committed unspecified offenses that resulted in five administrative penalties between March and October 2020.
Liu’s revelation has resulted in other individuals coming forward with their own complaints about the clinic.

Japanese researchers unveil digital reconstruction of 1,600-year-old woman
By Ryan General
Researchers in Japan have digitally reconstructed the image of a woman born 1,600 years ago using DNA technology and advanced computer graphics.
The research team of scientists from seven research institutes in collaboration with the education board of Yonezawa city released the photo and video of the recreated model dubbed “Himiko of Okitama” on Nov. 4.
Himiko is depicted with droopy eyes, a flat nose and straight black hair in the images made possible via DNA analysis and forensic facial reconstruction.
The woman’s skin color and hair type were reportedly determined based on genetic data derived from her skeletal remains exhumed in 1982. Her “drooping eyes” were based on her skin’s estimated thickness.
The bones were extracted from a stone coffin found in the No. 137 Totsukayama grave, one of the 200 graves situated at the foot of Mount Totsukayama in Yonezawa’s Asagawa district.
Himiko’s coffin also contained a long-tooth comb and a small knife.
A study conducted by Dokkyo Medical University revealed that the woman was around 143 to 145 centimeters tall and is estimated to have died at around 40 years old.
In 2017, a separate excavation conducted by Tohoku Gakuin University at the Haizukayama burial mound site in Kitakata led to the unearthing of the skeletal remains of a 50-year-old man.
The research team held a symposium in Yonezawa City on Nov. 13 to explain the process involved in Himiko’s reconstruction project.
The project began after nuclear DNA sampled from her teeth was compared with the man’s remains, leading to the conclusion that her genetic data was about 96 to 97 percent well-preserved, reported The Asahi Shimbun.
Tohoku Gakuin University’s Hideto Tsuji, who led the project, noted that the “entire data of nuclear DNA” they obtained from the remains is rarely found in old human bones.
In 2021, Tohoku University’s Yuka Hatano and Toshihiko Suzuki began studying the woman’s remains and reconstructing her facial features. The research team also commissioned the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo to analyze the nuclear DNA.
The results of the National Museum of Nature and Science’s analysis indicate that she had straight black hair as well as brown or blackish brown skin. Her eyes were reportedly a color between black and brown.
While Himiko’s skull had already lost its nasal bone and part of its right side, the researchers were able to visualize how the ancient woman likely clenched her teeth, which may provide insights into her eating habits.
“Her teeth were found worn down with apparent signs of temporomandibular joint dysfunction,” Hatano said. “The conditions seemingly resulted from her chewing style and other habits, and her jaw was distorted slightly leftward.”
The researchers noted that while they think Himiko may have originated from people in the Yayoi Pottery Culture Period (1000 B.C.- 250 A.D.) she also shares traits from people in the earlier Jomon Pottery Culture Period (c. 14500 B.C.-1000 B.C.).

The Jets have already brought in some big names this offseason, but could GM Joe Douglas have one more trick up his sleeve?
Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has officially requested a trade following stalled-out contract extension talks.
So, could the Jets come calling for the former first-round pick?
The Arizona State product would surely be a fit on any NFL team, as he’s gotten better in each of his four pro seasons, culminating with a 2023 campaign in which he caught 75 passes for 1,342 and seven touchdowns. Over the course of his career, Aiyuk has averaged 14.4 yards per touch, proving to be one of the more explosive players in the NFL with the ball in his hands.
The Jets already made a splashy move at receiver this offseason, inking former Los Angeles Chargers wideout Mike Williams to start opposite Garrett Wilson. But Williams has dealt with injury issues during his career, and even if he is healthy the Jets could certainly stand to give Aaron Rodgers another weapon. A trio of Wilson, Williams, and Aiyuk would give the Jets perhaps the best “big three” in the NFL.
The Jets have some intriguing names on the wide receiver depth chart, such as third-round pick Malachi Corley and the disappointing Allen Lazard, who has strong rapport with Rodgers. But no current Jet could replicate the star power that Aiyuk would bring to the field.
Aiyuk is currently set to play the 2024 season on his fifth-year option, which would pay him roughly $14 million, but any potential trade for the 26-year-old would almost certainly have to include a new contract as well.

Nov. 26—Dean Janikowski didn’t get the news until shortly after Tuesday’s Washington State practice, which took place in the new Taylor Sports Complex, thanks to temperatures dipping into the 30s as November rolls along.
He’s one of three finalists for the Wuerffel Trophy, which goes to the college football player who best exemplifies community service, academic excellence and athletic performance.
“It’s a huge honor,” Janikowski said. “I remember being young and seeing that award, and it’s a huge honor, especially just all the work that we put in, giving to the community. It’s cool to be given that recognition. It’s a really honorable award, and we’re super pumped about it.”
Janikowski, the Cougars’ sixth-year kicker, has earned the recognition in large part through the Heather Janikowski Foundation in honor of his late mother, raising more than $150,000 to support cancer research and patients. Since arriving at WSU, he has launched the “More Than a Kick” and “Kicking Cancer” initiatives, encouraging donations for each field goal and extra point he makes.
Janikowski has stayed busy organizing fundraising events like the Do it For Her 5K and Monserrate Memorial Hike, donating to people in need and using his platform to support cancer patients in his community.
The winner will be announced live on an awards show on ESPN on Dec. 12. The recipient will also be formally honored at a gala in February at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
Before then, Janikowski will wrap up his time playing at Gesa Field — Martin Stadium when he joined the WSU program as a preferred walk-on in 2019 — when the Cougs host Wyoming on Saturday afternoon.
Bowl-bound WSU will still get another several weeks of practice and a bowl game, but it amounts to the end of a long career in Pullman for Janikowski.

With inventory remaining tight in 2023, dealers may be looking to extend their credit to and look at getting a floor plan to remain competitive.
In the April issue of UCD, we look at floor planning and get practical advice on getting started.
“Sourcing inventory in a tight market requires independent dealers to have a plan in place to make smart buying and pricing decisions,” said Scott Maybee, president of NextGear Capital. “Using a flexible floor planning strategy can make a dealer’s inventory work for them and stay competitive in any environment.”
NextGear is the largest inventory finance company in North America, providing lines of credit for dealers at more than 1,000 auctions throughout the nation.
Floor plan lending differs from borrowing from traditional financial institutions. Floor plans often have more flexible terms for dealers to meet needs for types of vehicles or payments. Floor plan lenders specialize in lending to dealerships and understand the capital needs for different markets.
“Dealers need terms that fit their needs. From flexible pricing and eliminating fees, it allows them to keep more money in their dealership,” Maybee said.
Terms will be dictated by performance of the dealership in turning vehicles.
Also in the April issue, find our Dealer Spotlight story on Melissa McCown of Amigo Motors in Houston. In the two years since the death of her husband Patrick, she and Mi Amigos in Houston had persevered through an embezzlement, break-in and even a tornado that wiped out a planned expanded collections department. But after nearly reaching her breaking point, she knew she needed to keep going. And meeting with peers, she received something more valuable than the list of items to work on for her dealership in that initial Dallas visit.

Edinburgh Science Festival: Play On
As part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival in 2017, I designed and built 5 interactive exhibits for the Play On exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland. I was aided in this by MAKLab (sadly now no more), who took care of construction of the various physical housings for the different exhibits.
The exhibits consisted of:
A videogame exhibit inspired by Martin Jonasson and Petri Purho's Juice It or Lose It talk. Harpoon! is a simple arcade game about collecting fruit to score points, with the ability to add and remove layers of 'juice' (e.g. sound, animation, visual effects etc.) to see how those layers change the feel of the game.
Two instances of Harpoon! were installed for the exhibition; one that was locked to the simplest mode (no sound, monochrome, simple blocky graphics), and another that incorporated a chunky rotary switch with which players could add and remove the various layers of juice.
A simple subtractive synthesizer designed to demonstrate how sound can be generated via software or electronics. Consisting of a single oscillator (with Sine, Sawtooth and Square waveforms), a low pass filter, an envelope with 3 preset shapes, and a small screen displaying visually the effect of the user's interactions with the various controls.
Three instruments connected to screens displaying an oscilloscope-style display of those instruments' vibrations when excited. The instruments were: a set of 3 guitar strings mounted to a small resonating box; a guiro, and a set of 4 chime bars. Contact mics were used to transmit the instruments' vibrations to 3 Raspberry Pi's, which powered the displays.
A soundfile-playback exhibit designed to demonstrate the difference between synthesized sounds and their real-life counterparts. Four sound types (Violin, Piano, Trumpet, Birds) were included, each with a button to play the synthesized version, and another to play the real version. When pressed, a third, smaller button would illuminate the button corresponding to the real sound.
A simple soundfile-playback exhibit which plays a binaural recording of a herd of sheep being shepherded when its button is pressed.
All exhibits were built around the Raspberry Pi, with a Teensy LC providing an interface for the more complicated exhibits. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Deep learning: why should you care?
Deep learning is currently taking the IT world by storm. Facebook, Bloomberg and Google are actively exploring deep learning techniques. Thousands of deep learning startups operating in various industries raise seed funding every day. If you like traveling, have the budget and want to find out more about deep learning technology, there are so many events dedicated to it that you can attend them on a weekly basis.
In fact, deep learning is simply a family of general machine learning methods that use neural networks with more than one hidden layer. So some people are probably wondering why the bar of expectations is set so high.
Like many other machine-learning algorithms, it is inspired by what we know about the biological brain. Like humans, it tries to automatically extract higher layer features from the input (observations). However due to its iterative multilayer architecture, it can learn to represent high-level features more accurately than the previous generation of neural networks. The key factor is that instead of hand-engineered features, deep learning algorithms use trainable features that extract from the observations automatically. This requires more calculations and more training data, but allows us to discover dependencies that were previously unavailable.
The idea of multilayer neural networks is not new: the deep learning paradigm is a reincarnation of traditional neural networks from the early 1990s, which were proposed to improve the quality of machine-driven, quantitative prediction processes. Back then, neural networks were used for prediction analysis and classification.
I remember when I was writing my Master thesis in 1998, neural networks was a buzzword in the IT community. Of course, I took the opportunity to train my first neural network for prediction of FOREX market currency exchange rates with the aim of using the results for my thesis. The training process took 2 weeks, accuracy was completely disappointing and the system could not operate in real time, which depreciated its real value dramatically. It was a big fiasco and I had to swiftly change the topic of my thesis.
Other people were a bit luckier than I was: there were some successful and many mediocre attempts to use neural networks in financial analysis, image recognition and non-linear classification. However, until the mid 2000s the use of full-scale neural networks was extremely challenging throughout the world, due to the lack of sufficient computational resources that made training the networks extremely time-consuming. Another problem that limited the widespread practical use of neural networks was the absence of a fully-fledged methodology to integrate them into statistical frameworks.
These limitations were overcome in the mid-2000s for two reasons: (1) progress in computer technology made it possible to significantly reduce the time needed to train neural networks; and (2) the emergence of new methods for system training made it possible to optimize the training process, in turn dramatically boosting final quality. Modern deep learning systems are widely used to understand raw data, in object classification (text recognition) and computer vision (for example, age estimation from photos) and even in text understanding.
With regard to machine translation, a deep learning system can accurately learn a hierarchy of features representing higher levels of abstraction (semantics) derived from lower levels (lexical features) via intermediate steps (morphology, syntax, etc.). In fact, it has enough power to help us achieve the holy grail of computational linguistics: a cheap way of incorporating semantics into machine translation processes.
In the next post, I will cover some methods of how deep learning can be used to improve the quality of machine translation in industrial settings.

Poker is played all over the world in land-based casinos and now on the internet. It is a very popular game and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a very simple game to learn and once you understand the rules you can win lots of money.
Online poker sites are safe and highly regulated in the states that allow them. They are regularly audited by third party security firms to ensure that they are following the highest standards of responsible gambling. There are also strict age restrictions in place and players must be at least 18 or 21 years old to play poker on these sites.
When playing poker online you will be able to choose from a large number of different games. Most online poker sites offer a variety of different tournaments, cash games and sit & go’s. Some will even offer special high stakes events at times. When choosing a site make sure you do your research and read reviews to find out what other people have said about the site.
Most poker sites will have a lobby that is categorized by Cash games, Tournaments and Sit & Go’s. In the tournament section you will usually be able to filter by type of event and then by your skill level. This is great for new players as it will put you at tables with other players that are of a similar level to you.
One of the key factors in winning at poker is knowing your opponents and how they react to certain situations. In online poker you won’t be able to see body language so it is important to pay attention to how they bet. One of the best ways to do this is to use poker software that can tell you loads of stats about your opponents. For example you can often find out whether they tend to fold to light 3-bets or not.
Aside from understanding your own opponents it is important to have a good understanding of the game of poker in general. This will help you to know what hands are better than others and what the probabilities of getting those hands are. Having a good understanding of the game will also make it easier to keep your emotions in check when playing at the table.
It is also important to be able to manage your bankroll. Always be aware of how much you are losing and making and try to stick to a sensible bankroll management plan. Finally, never play when you are tired as this will affect your decision-making and can lead to big mistakes being made at the table. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Today is a happy day in the life of Omicron Delta Kappa. Later this afternoon, the Guilford College Circle in Greensboro, N.C. will be installed. Guilford College will become our 291st active circle.
Guilford is a unique institution in that it has a Quaker heritage. One of the things I especially appreciate about the school is that everyone is on a first-name basis. It is clearly a campus that celebrates all faiths and ways of life.
On my way back from a planning trip in Lexington, before I actually started as O∆K’s Executive Director, I sat next to a young man on the flight from Charlotte to Indianapolis. Given that I like college students, and this person looked like a college student, I asked if he was enrolled somewhere and we started a great conversation.
The young man was Blake Brown, a native of Kokomo, Ind. who was a sophomore at Guilford College. He was a member of the men’s tennis team, a student assistant with public safety and active in several student organizations. He was clearly a leader and someone who we would embrace in O∆K, if only we had a chapter at Guilford.
We talked about his career interests and aspirations. I was very impressed when he handed me a business card that he had identifying himself as a student at Guilford. I gave him one of my newly minted O∆K business cards, and we stayed in touch about some internship opportunities he was exploring in Indiana.
About six months after I had officially started in the position, I got an email from Blake. Although I had mentioned Omicron Delta Kappa to him, our staff had not yet followed up about a establishing a circle at Guilford College. I was delighted when I learned that Blake was actively working with Steve Moran and Emily Lott to bring O∆K to their school.
Although, I suspect that Guilford College would have been a school to establish a circle even without my chance interaction with Blake, it does please me to know that a plane conversation had something to do with it at this time. While snakes on a plane are a little scary, if Blake’s on a plane, the possibilities are great!
Congratulations to all of the members of the Guilford College Circle and welcome to O∆K! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

National Chung Hsing University has Huisun Forest Station, Xinhua Forest Station, Dongshi Forest Station, Wenshan Forest Station, with a total area of 8275 hectares. Four forest stations are managed by the Experimental Forest Management Office, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, National Chung Hsing University.
Under the Japanese rule period, experimental forests show achievements of internships in forest industry technology research, ecological conservation, and new technology of the forest industry, which represent the history of forest education in Taiwan. In recent years, Huisun Forest Station and Hsinhua Forest Station have provided more forest recreation services and indigenous culture products to visitors.
Huisun Forest Station
Huisun Forest Station is located in Renai Township of Nantou County with a total area of 7,477 hectares. The landscape here with high mountains and gorges make it astonishing. With a spread of almost 2000m in elevation, this forest crosses three weather zones (mild, warm, and subtropical) of vegetation. While most areas remain in their original state, the ecosystem showcases a rich diversity.
There are a lot of trails, including Song-Fong Mountain Trail, Azalea Trail, Frog Rock Trail, Misty Trail, Viewing Deck Trail, and Tang Mountain Trail. Each has its own characteristics. The levels of trails are for all ages not only to enjoy but also to challenge. For safety and convenience, all trails are settled tour systems along the way to provide a better tourist experience. Besides, spots like Japanese Cottage, Coffee Shop, Souvenir Shop, Tea Trial, Alpinia Lane, Cinnamon and Persimmon Family, and Herb Garden are also suitable for walk or ecology observation.
Hsinhua Forest Station
Hsinhua Forest Station is located in the township of Hsinhua, Tainan County, and lies in a catchment area on the east side of Hu Tou Pei. This forest mainly comprises endless rolling hills; the highest elevation is only 154m. It takes only 25 minutes to get to Tainan downtown area. With a total area of 378 hectares, it preserves the diversity of the ecosystem. Since it was an experimental land to plant tropical trees in the past, which you may see everywhere. The facilities of the trails are well-rounded, and the station is the best place for people to hike because it’s essentially a suburban city forest. In addition, it has been collaborating with the Soil and Water Conservation Bureau, Council of Agriculture, and Executive Yuan, combining soil and water conservation and countryside regeneration ideas, reviving ponds, landscapes, and fixing trails. It has been turned into a place that strikes a balance between the biophysical environment and educational area, attracting many people to visit here, and received many awards as well.
Tungshih Forest Station
Tungshih Forest Station is located in Tungshih District, Taichung City, with a total area of 303 hectares. It had been through illegal logging activities thrice during the Japanese colonial period, the Taiwan restoration period, and 1960 - 1962. It does not have a main natural forest area, and most of it is leased forestland. Leaseholders manage it as an orchard. We kept reclaiming and recovering the forest lands in order to maintain biodiversity.
Wenshan Forest Station
Wenshan Forest Station is located upstream of the Xindian River, with a total area of 117 hectares. It is a low-altitude mountain area. The native broadleaf trees form is the forest’s central part and is close to the Feitsui Reservoir, making it an important water protection area. Keep rainwater and reduce soil erosion via forest vegetation’s covering. It takes the effects of solid consolidation and water conservation to fully deploy purposes of forest welfare. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Living in the Community
People with intellectual disabilities have the right to live included in society. They want to share their lives with neighbors, friends and relatives. They also want to live as independently as possible and not stay their whole life within their parents home. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities provides in its Article 19 for the right of all people to choose where and with whom to live. However, the reality is still very different for people with intellectual disabilities in many countries. Various studies show that the implementation of Article 19 is still far from being achieved in most countries of Europe. Therefore, Inclusion Europe places community living very high on its policy agenda.
Inclusion Europe has been working on promoting different aspects of living in the community for people with intellectual disabilities for many years. During this time, we have achieved a huge interest for and attention to this topic at European level. Many countries, especially in Central and Eastern Europe, have revised their policies and practices and started planning for a transition to community-based services. The detailed menu of this page provides direct links to different projects and activities in which we have been involved in the past decade.
At the level of European policy development, we started in 2000 with compiling information about the Human Rights with people with intellectual disabilities and their families in all new Member States of the European Union. From the National Reports and the European Comparative Report produced at this stage, the issue of institutions with unacceptable conditions emerged as a common issue in all countries studied at that time.
As a reaction to this issue, Inclusion Europe led the first European study on institutions and community-based living facilities. A large coalition of different stakeholders agreed on common recommendations under the title “Included in Society”. This coalition continues until today under the name “European Coalition for Community Living” (ECCL). To enlarge outreach and impact, we continued this policy work within an expert group convened by the former Commissioner for Employment and Social Affairs, Vladimir Spidla. The recommendations developed by this expert group are presently put into practice by the project on “Common European Guidelines on De-Institutionalisation” of which Inclusion Europe is a partner. At a global level we contribute to Inclusion International’s campaign on Article 19.
In addition to this policy development, we have addressed different aspects of community living in various projects, such as:
- Costs and outcomes of institutional and community-based care.
- The empowerment of people with intellectual disabilities as consumers of support services.
- Principles for quality evaluation of services.
- User Councils in services for people with intellectual disabilities.
- People with severe disabilities and complex needs.
Results and outputs of these initiatives are available from the detailed menu of this page. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Attorney General’s Office of the State of São Paulo (PGE-SP) published, on Wednesday, February 7th, the first notice of the Paulista Agreement, accompanied by the regulation of the program. This step represents a substantial effort to facilitate the fiscal regularization of São Paulo taxpayers and, at the same time, increase state revenue.
The Paulista Agreement, a result of State Law 17.843/2023, opens a new front for the negotiation of tax debts, specifically aimed at those related to the Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS) that have been enrolled in active debt.
The criteria for participation in the program are comprehensive, allowing taxpayers to select debts under their responsibility for inclusion in the transaction. The PGE-SP offers significant incentives, such as the elimination of 100% of late interest and a reduction of 50% of the fines for payments of ICMS debts enrolled in active debt. Additionally, the program allows for the debt to be paid in up to 120 installments, with correction by the Selic rate, provided that an initial payment of 5% is made.
A relevant innovation is the permission for taxpayers to use legal injunctions, accumulated ICMS credits, and agricultural producer credits to offset up to 75% of the total amount due. However, some restrictions apply, such as the exclusion of debts guaranteed by deposit, insurance guarantee, or bank guarantee, as well as those with a definitive judicial decision against the taxpayer or that have been the object of transaction in the last two years. Taxpayers classified as “systematic defaulters” also find specific limitations in accessing the proposed discounts.
The initiative of the Attorney General’s Office of the State of São Paulo in publishing a new notice for the Paulista Agreement represents an important milestone for the fiscal regularization of taxpayers and the optimization of state revenue. With incentives such as the elimination of interest and reduction of fines, in addition to flexible installment options and the use of various credits to offset debts, the program aims to facilitate the settlement of tax debts, specifically ICMS. Despite some restrictions, this measure paves the way for a more efficient and fair fiscal management, benefiting both the state and taxpayers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

When you as an educator or father or mother, want to follow the experiments before you do them together with your kids, go forward and do so. But when you’re conducting them with them, please do not ever tell your youngsters that they are doing it wrong if the experiment would not go as you practiced. One of many nice things about doing science with youngsters is making it fun and getting them enthusiastic about doing experiments. Simply benefit from the process of experimentation and the dialogue that you would be able to have together with your children with them afterwards. The youngsters aren’t attempting to design a drug, produce a product for the shelf or save the setting. They’re being uncovered to science and hopefully discovering that it is enjoyable. Nothing is enjoyable if they feel that they are a failure at it and that is what occurs once you tell children that they’re doing something wrong.
Physics is a branch of science that additionally deals with the properties of matter as effectively including its movement by way of area and time. It additionally research the ideas of power and pressure. Loads of mathematical computations are involved right here significantly relating to the measurement of speed and pressure.

What an exciting year we have had at the Haiti Bible Institute. In March 2024 while we were in Haiti conducting Module 5 the Haiti Gangs attacked the airport causing it to close and all flights in and out of Haiti were cancelled indefinitely. We were stranded! Thanks to the heroic efforts of Congressman Cory Mills we were finally rescued March 17 after almost 2 weeks in Haiti.
On October 24th SRL Seminary hosted a banquet in his honor to thank him for our rescue. Above are some pictures from the banquet. Congressman Mills was awarded a certificate of appreciate.
In September we were unable to travel to Haiti. But thanks to our training of Haitian Faculty, these men were able to conduct Module 6 in its entirety. This is a testament to the success of our program at the Haiti Bible Institute. We are currently planning for the Haiti professors to each all the courses in Module 7 in February 2025. We are thrilled that God has blessed us with these well-trained men who can carry the school forward in our absence.
Our remaining challenge for 2024 is to raise the raise the funds we need to pay for Module 7. Your generous giving will enable the continuation of the Haiti Bible Institute and the uninterrupted training of the national pastors in Cohort 4. Lord willing, Anna and I will travel to Haiti in October 2025 for the graduation of these faithful men. Please help us today by investing in this worthwhile and unique ministry. Much good is being done for the cause of Christ in Haiti.

Andrew Wommack Devotional 6 May 2024 – Enter Doubt, Exit Faith
Topic: Enter Doubt, Exit Faith
Matthew 14:30, ‘But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.’
The reason Peter began to sink was because of his fear. In verse 31 Jesus used the word ‘doubt’ in reference to Peter’s fear. Fear is simply negative faith or faith in reverse. Where did this fear come from? Second Timothy 1:7 says, ‘For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.’ It didn’t come from God. This fear was able to come upon Peter because he took his attention off of Jesus and put it on his situation.
Fear or doubt cannot ‘just overcome’ us. We have to let it in. If Peter had kept his attention on Jesus, the author and finisher of his faith (Heb. 12:2), he wouldn’t have feared. In the same way that faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Rom. 10:17), fear comes by hearing or seeing something contrary to God’s Word. We would not be tempted with fear or doubt if we didn’t consider things that Satan uses to minister fear and doubt. The wind and waves didn’t really have anything to do with Peter walking on the water.
He couldn’t have walked on the water apart from Jesus even if it had been calm. The circumstances simply took Peter’s attention off of his Master and led him back into carnal thinking. Likewise, Satan tries to distract us with thinking about our problems.
Peter’s faith didn’t fail him all at once, as can be seen by the fact that he only ‘began’ to sink. If there had been no faith present, he would have sunk all at once and not gradually. This illustrates that the entrance of fear and the exit of faith do not happen instantly. There are always signs that this is happening. If we will turn our attention back to Jesus, as Peter did, He will save us from drowning. No problem is too big for God. We should cast our care about the problem over on God and just keep our eyes on Jesus, the Word.

It’s a dream come true for any flower lover to have roses that last forever. Let’s be honest, no matter how good local artisans or bigtime manufacturers have become in replicating fresh flowers, paper and plastic still got nothing on the real deal. It’s simply impossible to compete with nature. Fortunately, there’s now a way to indulge in the beauty of real flowers for years with zero maintenance required from your end. Enter Forever Flowers.
What Are Forever Flowers?
Also known as forever roses or eternity roses, forever flowers are artfully preserved and treated using advanced multi-step techniques, including dehydration; immersion to non-toxic chemicals like glycerin and other plant-based solutions; and dyeing. Forever flowers are usually presented in glass domes, hatbox flowers, or vases.
Are Forever Flowers Real?
Yes, forever flowers are made from fresh blooms. They are made from real Ecuadorian roses exposed to specific floral preservation methods to extend their lifespan. Unlike dried flowers, forever flowers maintain their color, fragrance, form, and beauty.
How Long Do Forever Flowers Last?
Depending on several contributing factors, including preservation technique, forever flowers can remain exquisite and elegant for at least 12 months up to three years. However, there are some makers of forever flowers that claim the blooms can last up to 20 years if they are not opened from their original packaging.
Here are some tips to further extend the longevity of forever flowers:
- Do not expose the flowers to direct sunlight.
- Do not let the blooms get wet or get exposed to excessive moisture.
- Refrain from touching.

Ron Onesti: The “Flavors” of Life
Not all my columns are about my first concert or the way things “used to be”. Sometimes there are things that hit me as I sit down to write this that have nothing to do with actual “show biz”. Today, I happen to be avoiding the bitter cold and staying at the iconic art-deco Biltmore Hotel in Miami as my deadline for this column was fast approaching. I was amongst classic 1920s surroundings in a Prohibition-era restaurant and fabulous live music was being performed as my marinated Argentinian skirt steak with a spicy chimichurri almost made my head explode with flavor.
“Flavor”. I really started to think about that word. As I get a bit older, my appreciation for all things, big or small, has become intensified. With regards to the obvious, my palette has expanded with age, and I have shifted from “eating” food to “tasting” food. I mean really tasting! Taking the time to separate the ingredients after taking a bite and letting my buds do their job. By doing this, I have truly added much to my own dining experience. It has helped me to greater appreciate the time, effort and natural ingredients all rolled together to create the dish.
And ya know, since I have been doing this, it has amazed me to realize just how many expensive dishes at high-end restaurants are really flavorless! I think price should be based on flavor and not on the cut of meat! If a dish blows me away, it deserves full price. Bland deserves a discount!
But truly, my appreciation for “flavor” in life goes much further than food. These days, I listen closer to music. I feel the “musicality” of a song or a performance much more these days. I pick apart the “flavors” of the music. I seek to feel the beat and the tempo, truly listen to the complex mix of instruments and the words themselves and intensely listen to the vocal presentation. After almost forty years in the entertainment biz, music has never “tasted” so good!
It’s not like I have any kind of heightened senses. In fact, because of my “maturity”, it is just the opposite! Ironically, my hearing and seeing isn’t so good anymore, but lately, I hear better and see better, philosophically!
I don’t know, maybe it’s all we have been going through because of the pandemic, or all the other crazy things going on in our world today that has increased this level of appreciation for the simple things in life for me. But after almost two years of lockdown and many cases of social unrest, the flavors of food, the sounds of music and the warmth of a hug has never meant more to me.
So the next time you enjoy a meal, truly enjoy it! Taste it all in a way that you never have before. The next time you hear your favorite song, close your eyes and really let the music sink into your soul. Get up early, go outside and take some deep breaths and fill your lungs with fresh air. And most importantly, learn not to fret over things, but convert any form of negativity into positive energy. Even if you can only “hug” with your eyes these days, do it in a way that others can feel your love.
As Global Warming continues to be an issue of concern, it is the Global “heart” Warming that I seek daily. Let’s not let the tragedies and challenges we have all experienced go for naught. At the very least, let’s take a step back and realize the value of what we have, especially now that we all understand better what it could mean once they are taken away. Here’s to good health and safety to you and your family! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This chapter contextualizes the year under review by reflecting on three important narrative and statistical trends. The first section provides a brief descriptive overview of statistical trends in FDI in 2020. The second section addresses macroeconomic trends and FDI flows, and considers the extent to which we can expect FDI flows to follow the dynamics of recovery seen after previous economic downturns. The third section considers the extent to which the pandemic has had a lasting effect on the structure of global value chains (GVC). The fourth section considers how the securitization of investment policy could affect patterns of FDI flows post-pandemic.

The Mariner is a simpler life jacket that is well-suited for the average boater and vacation sailor. If you plan to use the life jacket for paddling, we recommend a model with a tighter fit.
The front of the life jacket features segmented buoyancy material. It includes an external zippered pocket, a drawstring and zipper at the front, as well as a waist strap with a quick-release buckle. With a buoyancy of 50N, it is classified as a buoyancy aid. Life jackets with a buoyancy of 50 Newtons, sometimes referred to as sailing vests, have a somewhat simpler design compared to rescue vests. A 50N life jacket will keep you afloat with a good margin but lacks a collar for head support. The buoyancy is more evenly distributed between the front and back, and therefore it does not guarantee the ability to turn an unconscious person onto their back.

Over past months and weeks, a higher number of younger clients (mid teens to mid twenties, both young men and young women) have come into my consulting room with emerging feelings of panic, mounting pressures, jumpiness, restlessness, even anger outbursts.
For most, these sensations are quite new to them. They would not previously have considered themselves as being susceptible to anxiousness, and/or lacking the ability to know how to cope and yet now they do. Their usual desire and passion for those things they associate with fun, drivers that are almost automatic in the way they choose to live their lives, no longer hold their interest.
Instead they notice continual tiredness, lack of energy, and difficulty in concentration and with final terms and semesters looming at schools, trade courses, and universities, many are struggling, not wanting to attend, losing confidence, fearing failure, and withdrawing rather than engaging with friends and families.
Of course we know that COVID–19 has altered the way we function across all demographics. We have also witnessed global issues that impact all generations including climate effects that indicate the poor health of our planet, warfare, financial debt, human suffering. It would be naïve to think that these negative influences would not place a toll, more than ever felt, by our younger generations.
As a mental health counselling professional in private practice, this to me, is immensely concerning.
We read every day where the mental health system is under enormous strain, where mental health plans create burgeoning waiting lists for psychiatrists and psychologists who are doing all they can to keep up with these demands.
Counsellors and psychotherapists with tertiary qualifications, accreditation levels, and years of experience in the mental health profession are proficient in their business. Yet, there is a gap of acknowledgement, for this expertise and experience.
For these professionals, there are no mental health plans in place despite continual liaison and lobbying from the peak Counselling Associations in Australia at a Federal level with Government, to bring about this change. By incorporating Counsellors into the range of accredited service providers (Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and Social Workers) Australia’s waiting lists would be significantly reduced.
This is not a competition between providers. Rather, it is an “inclusion of qualified and professional people” adept at meeting this dire need within our community.
A young person last week commented to me that it was “good to vent” that at home he felt “guilty” for his outbursts, that he felt he was letting his family down, that he feared he might fail in his exams, that he felt “hopeless.”
These are not rare comments, but each are significant and serious. By being able to engage with these young people at an early stage before issues build in their minds and their lives, much can be done.
Professional counselling provides the means for effective listening, support, empathy, acknowledgment, problem solving; a safe environment for discussion; a meeting place in which to explore possibilities; guidance in identifying needs that provide skills and strategies pertinent to each person; assistance with new plans, new goal posts; a time for reflection and review along the way; regular assessment of the client’s safety and in their practices and behaviour with others.
All of these functions, form part of the professional care for these people that counsellors provide. Along with this is the professional efficacy to understand when there is a need for medical intervention and referral.
The general community needs access to these services and counsellors need the government to respond before the mental health within our country deteriorates and spirals any further. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Basic diagnostic evaluation in the asthmatic child and adolescent in Primary Care
Reference of this article: Castillo Laita JA, Pardos Martínez C, Callén Blecua MT, Carvajal Urueña IL. Basic diagnostic evaluation in the asthmatic child and adolescent in Primary Care. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria. 2005;7 Supl 2:S29-47.

To establish the diagnosis of asthma, the clinician must determine that episodic
symptoms of airflow obstruction are present, airflow obstruction is at least partially reversible
and alternative diagnoses are excluded. Recommended mechanisms to establish the
diagnosis are detailed medical history, physical exam focusing on the upper respiratory
tract, chest and skin, and spirometry to demonstrate reversibility. Additional studies may be
considered to evaluate alternative diagnoses, identify precipitating factors and assess the
severity of asthma.
Asthma often begins in childhood, and when it does, it is frequently found in association
with atopy. A family history of atopy is the most important clearly defined risk factor
for atopy in children. A maternal history of asthma and/or rhinitis is a significant risk factor for late childhood onset asthma. Markers of allergic disease at presentation (skin prick
tests and peripheral blood markers) are related to severity of current asthma and persistence

The International Diversification of Banks and the Value of their Cross-Border M&A Advice
CentER Discussion Paper Series No. 2010-24
42 Pages Posted: 22 Mar 2010 Last revised: 31 Jul 2015
Date Written: July 30, 2015
We examine the impact of the international diversification by banks on the value of their advice in 1,705 cross-border merger and acquisition transactions. We find that bidders engaging internationally diversified advisors face lower announcement returns. A one standard deviation increase in advisor diversification is associated with a 92 basis points lower announcement return for the bidder acquiring a listed target. The lower bidder returns are attributable to lower synergies of the deals being completed. Our evidence suggests that internationally diversified advisors offer lower quality advice to their clients since their reputational concerns are weakened by having access to multiple geographies from which they can derive fee-based income. We present further evidence that financial incentives in the form of advisor’s involvement in deal financing and market incentives in the form of the potential to gain market share in the bidder country may mitigate some of the negative effects of international diversification.

On the Evolution of the Firm Size Distribution: Facts and Theory
35 Pages Posted: 27 Nov 2001
Date Written: November 2001
Using a comprehensive data set of Portuguese manufacturing firms, we show that the firm size distribution is significantly right-skewed, evolving over time toward a log-normal distribution. We also show that selection accounts for very little of this evolution. Instead, we propose a simple theory based on financing constraint. A calibrated version of our model does a good job at explaining the evolution of the firm size distribution.

Whether you are interested in self-publishing something you have written yourself or in setting up your own independent press, after nearly thirty years of publishing in the traditional way and, more recently, through print-on-demand companies such as amazon KDP and Lightning Source, I would like to share what I have learned so that you will be able to go about it with confidence. There are many pitfalls into which the unwary can fall, yet self-publishing or running your own indie press are not as difficult as you may imagine.
In a series of talks and demonstrations I would like to show the common mistakes many people make, how to avoid them, and how to go about setting up your own books for publication so that they look as good as anything published professionally.

In the last sixty years, the Parsi population in India reduced from 1,14,000 (1941) to 57,264 (2011), according to the Census Reports. This means our population has nearly halved! Until mid of the last century, most families had four to ten children! They stayed together, ate together, prayed together and supported each other in times of happiness and sorrow. Advanced education and better job opportunities and business ventures improved the standard of life of Parsis. We started getting used to a luxurious lifestyle and this changed their attitude towards our Parsi traditions and customs. Family sizes shrunk to having 2-3 children by 1960’s and to 1-2 children by the turn of the century – the argument being the high cost of living. Today the Parsi population is at its lowest ever!
This demographic change is affecting the very fabric of our Parsi community, which was once admired for its charity, but today prefers to be looked after from ‘womb to tomb’. This sad state of affairs has been playing havoc with our customs and traditions. The practice of wearing the ‘armour of our religion’ – the Sudreh and Kusti after Navjote for the rest of our lives, is still followed by many but the shape of the Sudreh has undergone changes according to the need of the hour and the place the person visits! Singing of Monajats was a prevalent practice in the last century but has almost disappeared in modern times. Dressing traditionally for special occasions – men in Duglis and pagdis/phetas, and women in ‘chatta cherani’ saris have been replaced by shirts and pants and backless blouses and the shortest of short dresses! Many other customs observed during pregnancy, marriages and death have been given up, and today’s Parsis live disconnected from our culturally rich past.
In our religion, all are encouraged to lead a good and prosperous life – celibacy, fasting and mortification of the body are anathema to the faith, which weakens man’s spirit to fight evil. Living in moderation is another teaching of our highly evolved religion, but as things stand today, people seem to live to eat, as opposed to eat to live! Many health problems stem from an excess consumption of high (animal) protein and excess of calories. High blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, depression and cancer have become commonplace.
The Jiyo Parsi Programme, in its next phase – strives to help Parsis bring back the joy and happiness in their lives, by learning to balance work and family life.

Two years ago, TVS showcased its Akula (Shark, in Russian) concept motorcycle which enamoured enthusiasts with its aggressive stance. The wait is finally over. On December 6, 2017, TVS Motor launched its most advanced and expensive product till date – the TVS Apache RR 310.
The RR 310 incidentally is also the first fully faired bike in their portfolio. Available in black and red, the latter is reminiscent of a Ducati, with a white striped decal flowing through on the upper side of the bodywork. TVS has benefited from its partnership with BMW Motorrad, and the new Apache is bestowed with the same trellis type chassis – though the sub-frame differs, 41 mm UDS forks, mono tube gas assisted shock absorber, aluminium swing arm, exhaust system, wheel rims and of course the six-speed engine of BMW G310R. Speaking of the engine, it’s a liquid cooled 4-valve reverse inclined DOHC 312.2cc cylinder block, wherein the exhaust is at the rear and intake, in front. This reverse architecture offers forward mass centralization and makes more room for a longer swing arm. This Apache has a max. power of 34 BHP @ 9700 RPM and 27.3 Nm of torque @ 7700 RPM. The 80mm x 62.1mm bore/stroke RR 310 sips on juice via a Bosch EFI – and the 300mm/240mm front/rear anchors are from Bybre. ABS comes as standard.
With a class leading wind tunnel designed drag coefficient of 0.26, the Shark themed elements continue to inspire on this 169.5kg (kerb weight) bike by way of vents at the sides of the fairing, which redirect the hot air from the engine, away from the rider. This hot looking machine stays cool by placing two ram-air ducts below the headlights that help maintain an optimum engine temperature across riding conditions. The tail section of the bike also has a similar inspired theme with an attractive LED tail light and upfront, dual LED projector headlights.
The well laid out coffin shaped speedometer is vertically placed on this 160km/h machine – probably as a constant reminder to the rider that a fusion of speed and stupidity can have tragic end.
As standard with the Apache series, the bike proudly sports our national tricolours on the fairing.
At Rs.2.05 lakh ex-showroom, the product has all the underpinnings of a successful package in form and function, and gives a fresh lease to the youth oriented brand ‘Apache’.

According to Tejarat News, Tehran Stock Exchange’s reaction to the war on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea has attracted the attention of market professionals. Meanwhile, following the start of the war between Palestine and the Zionist regime, the total index of the Tehran Stock Exchange collapsed by more than 50,000 units in just one day, which means that Iran’s capital market practically has no international connections and is not connected to global stock exchanges! However, the emotional reactions of the people of the capital market to any related and unrelated developments in the world have taken the breath of the Tehran Stock Exchange.
In the meantime, while it was expected that the price of the dollar jumped and it was on the verge of entering the channel of 53 thousand tomans, the Tehran Stock Exchange would traditionally react positively, but the effect of the growth of the dollar was neutralized as a result of the negative and irregular emotions of some shareholders. until the Iranian capital market is grounded again.
The risk of increased emotional trading for the stock market
At the same time, since the beginning of the week, the fear of the stock market has spread, and the analysts believe that this fear is nothing more than emotion and Tehran Stock Exchange is not threatened in any way. In this regard, the Secretary General of the Brokers Association has emphasized that the market conditions are fundamentally favorable and there is no particular risk to the market.
Azim Sabet considered the fall of the stock market more due to the excitement of the recent war between Palestine and the Zionist regime and said that the market had become negative due to the news of the war and there is no danger threatening the country’s capital market.
In this regard, he added: One of the factors influencing the state of the capital market is the issue of feelings and emotions caused by various environmental news and rumors. Thabit emphasized: These emotions may be due to various positive or negative events that are happening around us.
The Secretary General of the Association of Stock and Securities Brokers noted: In this situation, not only the capital market of Iran, but also all the stock exchanges of the region and the world show emotional reactions to various news. For this reason, the capital market can usually be considered the smartest financial market.
Favorable stock market conditions
Sabet further emphasized: Considering these conditions, the state of the country’s capital market is fundamentally in favorable conditions, and based on this, in the near future, with the subsidence of the negative atmosphere, we can witness the reduction of fluctuations and the improvement of the state of this market. In an interview with Bors News, he said: There is no worrying issue regarding the capital market.

Spray painting the masked pieces adds color to the etched portions and the edges of the plastic piece.
To have the paint better adhere to the plastic, you can spray some isopropyl alcohol on first, then let it air dry.
Owls in various stages of spray painting: 1. spray painted white, before removing the masking tape; 2. Spray painted white with masking tape half removed; 3. Spray painted white with masking tape removed; 4 & 5 Spray painted gold, masking tape removed.
Using hooks and jewelry clasps, the pieces can be assembled into earrings or keychains. DiNaLabs adds a holder for the pieces to make it look extra professional.
Using magnets or magnetic sheets, we can also turn some of the pieces into refrigerator magnets.
First, sand the back of the piece with rough grit sandpaper.
Using double sided "super sticky" tape, you can cut out the tape to match the shape of the owl.
The second method we used to cut the tape, which was easier, was to place the strip of tape on to the magnet sheet first. Then, press the pieces on to the sheet. Afterwards, you can cut the magnet sheet with scissors.
You may have a bit of magnet sheet that's hard to get to with scissors, so you can run a router with a sanding bit along the edges to clean it up.
Using epoxy with neodymium magnets (sanding the surface first) also worked on other laser cut pieces.

The Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA) is a trade agreement that aims to promote and accelerate digital trade between member countries. Signed by New Zealand, Singapore, and Chile in June 2020, DEPA is the first international agreement that focuses on digital trade, e-commerce, and emerging technologies.
DEPA is an innovative framework that seeks to facilitate the digital economy by removing barriers to trade in the digital realm. The agreement covers several aspects of digital trade, including data localization, cross-border data flows, and consumer protection. It also encourages collaboration between member countries on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain.
DEPA provides several benefits for member countries, such as increased market access, improved regulatory coherence, and the promotion of digital innovation. By creating a predictable and transparent legal framework for digital trade, DEPA can facilitate the growth of small and medium-sized businesses, particularly those that operate online.
One of the key features of DEPA is its emphasis on data flows. Under DEPA, member countries commit to facilitating cross-border data flows and avoiding data localization requirements. This means that companies can transfer data across borders and store it where it is most efficient and cost-effective. This aspect of DEPA is particularly important for small and medium-sized businesses, which rely on data to compete in the global market.
DEPA also includes provisions for consumer protection, which are essential in the digital economy. The agreement promotes transparency and accountability in online transactions, ensuring that consumers are informed about the products and services they purchase and have access to effective remedies in case of disputes.
In conclusion, DEPA is an important step towards promoting and accelerating digital trade. By creating a predictable and transparent legal framework, facilitating data flows and promoting digital innovation, DEPA can drive economic growth, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses. As more countries join DEPA, we can expect to see increased digital trade and a more vibrant and dynamic digital economy. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

PCOA20 organisers share more about the conference
As the Professional Conference Organiser Association’s (PCOA) annual conference draws nearer, the organisers share more about the event.
The conference will take place over December 7-8, 2020, and follow a hybrid format for the first time, with the in-person component taking place at Hyatt Regency Sydney as well as a number of satellite locations across Australia and New Zealand.
The program has been released and the speakers confirmed, each of which will bring to life the theme – Flexibility is the Future – Live, Local & Connected.
What did they think about when putting PCOA20 together?
The annual PCOA conference is a way to continually upskill our industry, providing professional development for those in our sector, with great content and networking opportunities. We wanted to ensure we could meet these requirements and deliver an engaging program that would provide flexibility for attendance, connect our community and deliver on the learning gaps in this rapidly changing environment. At the beginning of the year many of us thought that by mid-year we might be back to normal operations, but that view changed rapidly as time rolled on!
Why did they decide on a hybrid format?
As industry leaders, PCOA took a strategic viewpoint that we might not be able to get everyone together in one place for the traditional conference format, and that we need to experiment with a new way of delivering engaging, compelling content that would continue to grow our community with professional development opportunities.
Barry Neame, President of PCOA said: “We wanted to give the best outcomes to our industry to connect and collaborate, and so developed a format that would enable engagement in a variety of ways – either in person for those able and wanting to attend in their capital city, or to attend online and still have networking opportunities with their peers. We did not want to be bound by border openings/closures or potential lockdown restrictions – this event will provide an experience to suit everyone!
“Our community has truly demonstrated resilience this year and what is critical is for us to take a leap of faith and jump into this experiment, transitioning into what we feel may be a new normal, at least for a while now. PCOA as leaders in the sector wanted to set a benchmark and move forward boldly with our decision to create an event that is fluid in form and nature, with a flexible delivery mechanism supported by the great folk at Centium, using the OnAir platform.”
How was the program curated?
Paula Leishman who has managed this year’s program said: “We firstly took on board feedback after the 2019 conference, which asked for more practical insights and case studies, and then closely examined the types of skillsets needed and challenges ahead for our industry to flourish.
“PCOA has been overwhelmed by the number of people who have reached out to play a role in delivering content for this year’s conference. So many have been so generous in contributing to the ongoing professional development of our industry. A special thanks must go out to Barry Markoff at ICMI for his incredible support.”
People in our industry are committed professionals, dedicated to their teams, their clients and the industry – traditionally working in a somewhat frenzied environment! We have all learnt a lot over the last nine months or so, but one thing that is clear is that everyone wants to get back to creating opportunities to connect people, bringing them together in this new world. We are all working with our clients to find out what they want, and to source ways of making this happen – taking clients with us on this same journey.
Paula Leishman continued: “It is critical as industry leaders that we move with the times and consider the disruptors and the changes that COVID restrictions have placed upon us.
“There are many stories about businesses not realising opportunities in the marketplace, like Sony. For decades they were a leader in the music industry, owning their own content and hardware, but the company was unable to synergise it businesses.
“Hop along to 2001 and the launch of the IPOD, Sony begins to lose its position and move along another 20 years to the current day and the subscription model for music and entertainment. Sony were in the box seat in the 90s but failed to see the opportunity.
“As PCOs we need to consider the opportunities that the virtual platforms have brought to our businesses and consider how we can maximise these changes. We do not want to be left as a museum piece, we need to adapt, flex and deliver to the changing needs of the marketplace.”

Liberal Education/Engineering & Society and Educational Research and Methods
In the XXX University multidisciplinary engineering course “Preparation For Undergraduate Research,” nearly 200 students perform individual research projects in almost as many different labs. Research topics in this course range from software design, to robotics, to synthetic biology, to nuclear power plants, with each sub-field possessing its own specific disciplinary content and rhetorical requirements. Throughout the year, students communicate their research through the professional genres of proposal, poster presentation, research article, and oral presentation. A unified course curriculum, taught here across all fields by embedded communication instructors (M. Poe 2010), requires new methods to address the challenges engineering students typically face as they learn to write for their fields (L. Carroll 2002, D. Winsor 1996, N. Artemeva 2009, A. Beaufort 2007).
Often in Writing in the Disciplines (WID), following Swales’s model, instruction in rhetoric assumes a uniform set of rhetorical moves for engineering. Extending Beaufort, we propose that students need a more fine-grained instruction in the forms, practices, and disciplinary systems of knowledge production that govern the key genres in their specific fields. One such approach, Middendorf and Pace’s “Decoding the Disciplines” (2004), identifies procedural and epistemological bottlenecks in order to make explicit for students the tacit processes, habits of mind, and rhetorical expectations that underpin research in their chosen disciplines. However, Middendorf and Pace’s approach is designed to help experts in the field identify and resolve bottlenecks for their students. Professional communication in “Preparation for Undergraduate Research” is taught by communication instructors – not disciplinary experts – and contains far too many sub-fields – and thus far too many bottlenecks – to manage the original model. Instead, informed by their insights, we develop a method that trains this diverse set of engineering majors to draw upon their own disciplinary knowledge to decode and resolve bottlenecks in their own specific sub-field. This attention to the specificity of different engineering discourses makes our method applicable in a wide range of engineering communication courses.
Here, we present a two-stage model that supports disciplinary specificity through explicit rhetorical instruction, guided practice, and peer review (L. Wilder 2012). The first stage teaches broad rhetorical concepts supporting the composition of two professional genres: a proposal and a poster, genres typically geared toward a broad audience. In the second stage, students by now familiar with rhetorical analysis learn to perform genre analysis on texts in their own field. They identify and then deploy the rhetorical moves and strategies appropriate to their next communication task: a journal article intended for their specific disciplinary audience. In addition to presenting our model, we will include assessment data on the impact of our rhetorical approach. Rhetorical analyses of student papers will be compared with faculty assessment to determine whether the successful deployment of these moves aligns with implicit expert criteria. We will also use baseline and end-of-term survey data to assess students’s developing understanding of how to make specific rhetorical choices when communicating in their chosen discipline.

The days of sending out enormous direct mail campaigns to every residential address in a city are long gone. Not only is this direct mail tactic ineffective, but it is also costly. Today, helpful tools allow for zip code targeting on your direct mail campaigns where mailers are only sent to residents who fall into specific demographic categories. Zip code targeting with direct mail saves money and time while ensuring that your campaigns are received by those most likely to be interested in your business or organization.
Who benefits from zip code targeting?
For-profit operations in a variety of industries benefit from zip code targeting including those in healthcare, dentistry, legal practices, retail stores, restaurants, and service-based businesses like house cleaning, accounting, and home maintenance.
Zip code targeting isn’t just for businesses and corporations. Higher education and vocational institutions enjoy excellent results by targeting specific demographics within a zip code. Non-profit organizations also benefit from zip code targeting—especially when it comes to fundraising campaigns and the announcement of community events.
What kinds of demographics can I target with direct mail?
Using tools like EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail from the USPS), you can filter residents within a zip code by data like household size, household income, and age. Other consumer databases offer even more information including whether children are present within a household.
Here are some helpful examples of how targeting these demographic categories can help improve the response rates on your campaigns.
Age: Knowing the general age groups within a household can help you determine which recipients to mail campaigns to. For example, services and businesses catering to seniors should target households with members 55 years and older. Age groups also help marketers personalize their messaging. Statistically speaking, people over the age of 35 have more purchasing power. This means that luxury goods are likely to be more well-received by this age group than by households with people in their early 20s or more advanced years.
Household Size: A household’s size can reveal a lot to marketers. In most cases, houses with several residents often tend to be budget-conscious consumers or multigenerational families. Businesses catering to consumers on tight budgets can benefit from targeting larger household sizes.
Income Level: Knowing the income range of direct mail recipients can go a long way with developing your mailing lists and brand messaging. For instance, let’s say you run a day spa that offers pampering services like full-body massages and facials. Targeting households with very low-income levels is likely going to result in less-than-ideal response rates. Your ideal demographic would likely be people with middle class incomes, people with spouses, and/or those over the age of 30.
Presence of Children: Whether a household has children is critical information for businesses that operate in healthcare and dentistry as well as retail and service-based businesses that provide clothing, haircuts, tutoring, extracurricular activities, and more to children. The presence of children is also helpful for businesses and organizations that offer support to busy parents such as convenience-based services like housekeeping, dry cleaning, and general home maintenance.
Zip code targeting with direct mail can make a world of difference in the success of your campaigns. Analyzing consumer demographics in your area can also improve your business or organization’s messaging. The pros at Pel Hughes work with businesses, organizations, and higher education institutions throughout the United States. We offer full-service printing, graphic design, campaign automation, and database services to ensure that your direct mail campaigns are as successful as possible.

I’m pregnant, can I use your products?
There is a lot of information about pregnancy that can be very confusing, so to clear the fog of information we at Penny Badger Botanicals have done some research and asked some of our mum's to be that use our products what they use.
It is recommended that you stay away from all essential oils during this period but as our products contain such small amounts of essential oils we don’t consider there is any risk, this is just our opinion and if you have any history of pregnancy problems you may decide to not use any essential oils at all. It is important that you are comfortable with this so take time to consider your decision.
Second & Third Trimester
At this point if you are having a normal healthy pregnancy you should be fine with a skin care regime to cope with your pregnancy skin that can become, red, spotty, sensitive and dry.
Products that are useful during pregnancy are:
Products that we would advise not to use are Intensive Calming Face Wash as although it contains lavender which is ok during pregnancy it does contain much higher levels than our other products as it is a wash-off product.

It has been known long that some crossbreeds seem to do better than their parents of either breed. It’s a question of finding which breeds cross best with other breeds. A few of these crossbreeds end up becoming considered pure breeds themselves. One of the best crossbreeds in dogs is seen in the Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy, known also as Golden Labrador Retrievers. At a young age they begin to show the best traits of their parents breeds.
The Perfect Personality?
Both Labrador and Golden Retrievers are dogs that really like people and are eager to please. Keep in mind that not every one is alike, and bad training will always make for a bad, fearful dog (regardless of breed), but overall, a Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy is a born people lover. They are fascinated by people and seem to easily bond with them. They also have a lot of strength and stamina, which comes in handy for service and search and rescue dogs.
Great Dogs For Helping the Blind
The Golden Labrador Retriever are hailed as the best seeing eye dogs by experts that train seeing eye dogs in England. There is an extensive breeding program run in England by Guide Dogs to raise dogs to be seeing eye dogs. A Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy is first tested at about eight weeks of age to see what his personality is like.
A seeing eye dogs training is never really over. Often times the puppies will fail their training and be put up for adoption as a pet. To take a Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy and turn out a dependable life-saver costs an average of $70,000 (US). They work until old age or illness forces them to retire, and then they are placed in care homes for the rest of their lives.
Other Things to Know
Although many online Labrador puppies information web sites will say that a Golden Labrador is always yellow, this is not true. Occasionally a dark puppy will be born. You can register your Labrador/Golden Retriever puppy with the American Canine Hybrid Club.
Every day, there is a newborn Golden / Labrador Retriever puppy who makes that first step to being a drug sniffing dog, cancer sniffing dog, service dog or a search and rescue dog. They all can rescue us from ourselves and our selfishness and help give our souls back to ourselves. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Does the thought of a litter box make you cringe? Most people have the same sentiment towards litterboxes, as their reputation is a stinky and dirty one! Why not consider buying cat furniture to hide the kitty box?
We’ve all seen the bog-standard cat perch and scratching post, but why not treat your kitty (and your nose!) to a well-built cat condo with a built-in ground-floor cubby that’s works as terrific litter box housing? You can find a variety of cat furniture online, some include fuzzy balls that dangle from string or wire, carpeted inner housing for those frequent cat naps, as well as several hidden catnip stations to get your cat feisty for playtime! Those are just a few of the many different types of accessories you can find on cat furniture.
You may also find a piece of cat furniture known as a “bookcase climber,” which is a large piece of furniture with “step-like” segments that lead to hidden cubby-holes, sleeping areas, and play stations. While these can be great if you have quite a lot of room to spare, it can be overbearing if you don’t have a lot of room. If you don’t have a lot of space for kitty accommodation, you can look in to pet stairs, which come in a variety of sizes, colors, and styles. Some come with built-in compartments that are just wonderful for storage. You can find them in high-end fashionable wood, accentuated with molding, or standard carpeting.
A litter robot is also an interesting and practical option for solving your cat box problems. It is a spherical, dome-like, self-cleaning litter unit. The entrance is small to give your cat privacy. The litter robot automatically sifts through the litter and stores the waste in a carrier bag that can simply be taken out and thrown away. This unit is extremely efficient at keeping odors from escaping. It’s also intriguing to look at.
Are you starting to like the idea of cat furniture? It is very beneficial to hiding the litter box and its nasty smells. You can find cat litter furniture at many pet stores and online. In addition to cat furniture, those of you who own dogs as well may find the many uses of dog stairs to be beneficial to you and your pet. These can be found online in pre-constructed format or custom-built. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

vivo Malaysia unveiled the new vivo Y76 5G which is a a mid-range smartphone with a 6.58-inch FHD+ Incell screen, a 50MP AI triple camera system and up to 12GB of RAM experience.
The entry of the smartphone was announced by vivo Malaysia a few days ago.
vivo Y76 5G highlights
As a mid-range smartphone, the Y76 5G of course can’t beat flagship devices, but the 6.58-inch FHD+ Incell screen does support high colour saturation which in turn delivers vivid visual experience.
Like most of vivo’s smartphones nowadays, the Y76 5G also comes with Eye Protection Mode which is supposed to protect your eyes from being strained.
To put it simply, the Y76 is actually a mid range gaming smartphone, and this is made obvious with the emphasis on its Ultra Game Mode 2.0 and Multi-Turbo capabilities which is said to further enhance gaming experience.
The gaming experience is then further enhanced with 4D Game Vibration and Extended RAM technology which will allow users to experience 12GB RAM experience from its physical 8GB RAM.
Gaming smartphones are rarely big on the camera end, but a 50MP AI triple camera system to me is rather generous. The whole system comes with a 50MP main camera which is paired with a 2MP bokeh camera and 2MP macro camera.
Up front, a generous 16MP camera ensure selfies will also look nice.
The smartphone itself is pretty thin at 7.79mm thin but the camera bump does increase it’s thickness slightly.
The smartphone is definitely on the light side as it weighs only 175g nonetheles.
In terms of power, the smartphone comes with a 4,100 mAh battery which features 44W FlashCharge.
It runs on the latest Funtouch OS 12 and comes in two colours which are Midnight Space and Cosmic Aurora.
vivo Y76 5G Malaysia price and availability
vivo Malaysia retails the Y76 at RM1,299 with pre-order is now available at all vivo concept stores, authorized dealers, vivo Malaysia’s official E-store, and flagship store on Shopee and Lazada, until 26 November 2021.

If you don’t favour pre-orders, the smartphone will be available from 27 November 2021 onwards at all vivo concept stores, authorized dealers, vivo Malaysia’s official E-store, and flagship store on Shopee and Lazada.
During this time, a customized Vanzo Fragrance Gift Set worth RM138, 1 Year Extended Warranty and 1 Year Screen Crack Protection worth RM399, all wort a total of RM537 will be made available for early birds. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Avenger tries its best to be a hard-hitting, high-stakes thriller about love, loss, and the lengths a father will go to protect his family. Set against the gritty backdrop of Los Angeles, the film follows Matt Hollis (Mark Harris), who’s thrown into a nightmare after the sudden death of his son. Looking for a fresh start, he takes his estranged wife Alison (Anna Nightingale) and young daughter Lara (Honor Kneafsey) on a trip to LA, but their supposed healing holiday soon unravels in the worst way.
The storyline is pretty straightforward: when his wife is attacked and his daughter is kidnapped, Matt finds himself racing against time to track down his child, while the police wrongfully suspect him of the crime. It’s a plot that holds promise, drawing from real life trafficking cases and the adrenaline-fuelled tradition of Taken, but with a Brit twist.
Mark Harris, who also co-wrote and directed the film, plays the father with an earnest ferocity, selling his desperation and determination. Dialogue and pacing feel somewhat forced and inconsistent at times, with some action sequences such as when the police first arrive, feeling contrived and so unrealistic they pull you out of the story a little.
Harris’s performance as the grief-stricken father is undoubtedly committed, capturing both a parental protectiveness and the grim determination to beat a ticking clock. Anna Nightingale as Alison and Honor Kneafsey are strong, particularly in scenes where you feel the family’s loss and vulnerability. The supporting cast don’t get an awful lot to work with, but they’re largely “fine”.
The cinematography captures LA with an almost voyeuristic edge, giving the city a raw, foreboding atmosphere, which serves the story well. It helps the film feel grounded.
If you’re a fan of British indie thrillers, you’re likely to love this, particularly if you can forgive its rougher edges and embrace its attempts at suspense and raw emotion. It’s not a Hollywood blockbuster, but it has a gritty charm that, if nothing else, showcases the commitment of its cast and creators. I’m pretty sure it was made around a decade ago and has gone through some changes of title, which gives an idea of that commitment. It’s one of those low budget thrillers that surprises you with how good it is and makes you wonder what could have been if it had a big budget.
The Avenger is an ambitious thriller with a strong emotional core, but struggles at times with execution. While it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, it will definitely appeal to fans of British indie cinema or those looking for a DIY-style action thriller with a solid family storyline at its heart.

A maternity belt, also known as a pregnancy support belt or belly band, is a specialized garment designed to provide support and comfort to pregnant women. It is worn around the abdomen and lower back to alleviate the strain and discomfort associated with pregnancy.
The main purpose of a maternity belt is to provide support to the growing belly and help distribute its weight more evenly. It can help relieve pressure on the lower back, pelvis, and hips, which are commonly affected during pregnancy. The belt is especially beneficial for women experiencing back pain, round ligament pain, pelvic girdle pain, or abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti).
Maternity belts are typically made of soft and stretchable fabric that comfortably adapts to the changing shape of the abdomen. They often feature adjustable straps or closures to provide a customized fit and accommodate the varying stages of pregnancy.
Key features of a maternity belt may include:
- Abdominal Support: The belt is designed to support the weight of the growing belly, reducing strain on the lower back and pelvis. It provides gentle compression and helps lift and hold the abdomen, relieving discomfort.
- Back Support: Maternity belts often extend over the lower back, providing additional support and stability to the lumbar region. This can help alleviate back pain and improve posture.
- Adjustable Fit: Most maternity belts have adjustable features, such as Velcro straps or hook-and-eye closures, allowing the wearer to customize the fit as the pregnancy progresses.
- Breathable and Stretchable Fabric: The belts are typically made of breathable and stretchable materials to ensure comfort and accommodate the expanding abdomen. Some may also have moisture-wicking properties to keep the skin dry.
- Discreet and Lightweight Design: Maternity belts are designed to be worn discreetly under clothing without causing bulkiness or discomfort. They are usually lightweight and can be easily adjusted or removed as needed.
Maternity belts can be worn throughout the day or during specific activities that involve prolonged standing, walking, or physical exertion. They are considered safe for most pregnant women but should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It’s essential to follow the specific instructions provided with the maternity belt and consult with a healthcare provider regarding proper usage and any underlying conditions that may require additional support. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

On 14 January 2022, the “Good Practices on Improving Relations Between Police Representatives and the Roma Communities” webinar took place, within the joint EU/Council of Europe programme JUSTROM3.
The webinar enabled participants to get knowledge of ways to introduce community policing at municipal level and share good practices to improve relations between police representatives and Roma communities. The event was attended by 55 participants, namely representatives of NGOs, municipalities, police and JUSTROM3 collaborators.
The Council of Europe Intercultural Cities community policing model based on the experience of the city of Fuenlabrada was presented during the webinar. Good practices applied by the city of Fuenlabrada, Spain, such as the Anti-Rumours methodology and the Manual on community policing were also shared with the participants. Further, the participants learnt about the community policing work of the Municipal Police of Lisbon, Portugal.
The webinar also addressed the inter-governmental work that is being carried out by the Council of Europe and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe/Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights in the area of improving relations between police representatives and the Roma communities. The Council of Europe developed the toolkit for police officers “Council of Europe standards on racially motivated crimes and non-discrimination with a focus on Roma and Travellers” and is offering training expertise to the member States. The result of the co-operation among the two inter-governmental organisations, based on their shared objectives, was the common curricula “Police and Roma – Effective and Human Rights Compliant Policing”, which will also be used for training courses for police officers.
Collaborators of JUSTROM3 shared with the participants their experience of work with the police representatives, for improving the access of Roma women to justice. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Rouen, Place de la Pucelle
Here blooms the legend, fed by Time and Chance,
Fresh as the morning, though with centuries old,
The whitest lily on the shield of France,
With heart of virgin gold.
Along the square she moved, sweet Joan of Arc,
With face more pallid than a daylit star,
Half-seen, half-doubted, while before her dark
Stretched the array of war.
Swift passed the battle-smoke of lying breath
From off her path, as if a wind had blown,
Showing no faithless King, but righteous Death
On the low wooden throne.
He would reward her: she who meekly wore
Alike the gilded mail and peasant gown,
As meekly now received one honor more,
The formless, fiery crown.
A white dove trembled up the heated air,
And in the opening zenith found its goal;
Soft as a downward feather, dropped a prayer
For each repentant soul. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Will Katy Perry Star in Taylor Swift’s ‘End Game’ Video?
Might a Katy Perry cameo in Taylor Swift's music video signal the hatchet has finally been buried between pop music's greatest rivals? Keep those fingers crossed.
The "Hey Hey Hey" musician was reportedly spotted in Miami earlier this month (December 20) on the set of Swift's music video for her latest single, "End Game," sparking rumors Perry will have a bit part, E! reported.
A source told the pub that Perry made up with the 28-year-old chanteuse in person, and filmed a scene for Swift's upcoming visualization.
Neither star has yet to confirm or deny the news, but a pair of suspicious photos (below) shared on Twitter may point to the veracity of the conspiracy. Both images appear to show a silver-clad Perry alongside Swift on the Reputation performer's yacht, where segments of the video were said to have been filmed.
Over the summer, Perry revealed her interest in mending fences with Swift after issuing an open apology during an episode of the Thrive Global podcast. "I am ready to let it go," she admitted. "I forgive her and I'm sorry for anything I ever did, and I hope the same from her."
"I love her, and I want the best for her," Perry continued. "And I think she's a fantastic songwriter, and I think that if we, both her and I, can be representatives of strong women that come together despite their differences, I think the whole world is going to go like, 'Yeah, well we can do this.'"
