Here's a bit of seasonal colour thanks to...old buildings.
When you stop to look at them, relatively few old buildings are red (even fewer are red and green. Think for a moment where the beauty on the left might live)
Oh sure. There's always red brick.
But really. How festive is that?
Would you decorate with rust (and buff, peach, brown which were part of the palate when we built and burned bricks at home?)
For good old-fashioned red, you stand the best chance in maritime Canada.
Of course, there are barns. Fewer and fewer painted bright barn red. Fewer and fewer, period.
And of course, doors. Easy. And steel roofs. Not so easy. But also, not likely original to the building.
But there are several structures here which hail from places other than 'down East.'
I'll give you a chance to try to recall where you last saw these buildings.
Then I'll caption the photos.
In the meantime, I'll just enjoy these seasonal colours. And try to get the spirit.
This isn't going to help...no bell!

BARROW ST. TOWNHOME VAN VORST PARK Jersey City
The Barrow Street brownstone is a classic 1850s Victorian brownstone in Jersey City’s Van Vorst Park. With many of its beautiful, original details left intact—including crown molding, stained glass windows, and a unique wooden grand staircase—And Studio’s vision was to preserve and amplify the space’s character while layering in modern functionality, depth, and warmth.
Inspired by the tactile utility of London townhouses, we sought out to create a home that felt wholly authentic, a balance of nuanced detail and open space.
We began by elevating many of the home’s original details, adding natural oak herringbone flooring; selectively repairing crown molding to match the original 1850s plaster; finishing the walls with beautifully textured diamond plaster in collaboration with Jersey Ice Cream Co.
We transformed the kitchen, re-envisioning the layout with a more functional, intuitive flow and renovating it in a classic English style, including both Shaker details and custom carpentry handcrafted in England. Details throughout the home nod to its historic past, including William Morris wallpaper in the guest bedroom, unfinished brass fixtures, and a one-of-a-kind antique stone basin in the powder room... special touches that felt subtly untouched by time.
WEST VILLAGE TOWNHOME MANHATTAN New York
A calming respite for a young family in Manhattan’s West Village — paying homage to their historic 1860s brownstone through warm textures, timelessly classic materials, and details that find refinement through the patina of living. Within the 1,600 square foot, three-story brownstone we were guided by European finishings and classic Belgian interiors, finding richness through a balance of natural materiality and embracing a harmonic moodiness.
Immersing ourselves in the brownstone’s gut renovation, we worked closely with the client to cultivate a space that aligned with their vision and lifestyle. Seeking to add intentional texture and invite a calming cohesion, we integrated layers of natural materials, including raw & antique woods, earthy-hued heavy Belgian linens, antique brass detailing, and wall texture from Roman Clay. Special pieces, including antique stone fireplaces, were sourced from Europe to add further dimension. We also explored solutions that paired classic design and mindful functionality—like a custom panel finished in Roman Clay to conceal electronics, offering tasteful solutions without compromising the holistic design.

§ Lord Graham of EdmontonMy Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question standing in my name on the Order Paper.
§ The Question was as follows:
§ To ask Her Majesty's Government when they intend to act on the main recommendations of the report of the Royal Commission on Civil Liability and Compensation for Personal Injury (the Pearson Commission).
§ The Lord Chancellor (Lord Hailsham of Saint Marylebone)My Lords, of the 188 recommendations of the commission, some have already been acted on including some of those on damages, work injuries, sea and inland waterways and occupiers' liability. The Government have not yet taken a final decision on the implementation of other recommendations including those on road injuries and product liability. For a wide variety of reasons the Government have decided not to implement certain other recommendations.
§ Lord Graham of EdmontonMy Lords, will the noble and learned Lord the Lord Chancellor confirm that Answers to previous parliamentary Questions relating to the state of the art defence are still Government policy? Will that topic still remain on the agenda of the Committee of Permanent Representatives? While the Government wait for harmonisation of the EEC directive, can the House be told what steps are being taken to discuss with commerce and industry the undoubtedly heavy costs which will eventually flow from strict liability?
§ The Lord ChancellorMy Lords, I think I can confirm that it is part of the Government's policy to maintain the state of the art defence. I do not think, without notice, that I can give a full account of the various consultations which have taken place with industry, but they have been pretty extensive. Of course at the moment the state of the art defence is one of the obstacles to the European Directive which is under consideration at Brussels. That is the best answer that I can give to the noble Lord's supplementary question.
§ Lord UnderhillMy Lords, does the noble and learned Lord the Lord Chancellor recall— 554 undoubtedly he does—the debate that took place in this House on the Pearson Report when considerable attention was given to the "no fault road compensation scheme"? In view of the large number of persons who suffer injury, for which there is no compensation, arising from road accidents, will the Government move fairly quickly on that item?
§ The Lord ChancellorMy Lords, the road compensation scheme is probably one of the most controversial of all the Pearson recommendations. Simply in terms of manpower it would cost a thousand new jobs, 200 of which would be medical. I wonder whether that is the best way in which to use 200 doctors. At 1977 prices it would cost £64 million a year and I am wondering whether £64 million—if one is going to spend it on the disabled—is best spent in that particular way. There are two alternate views and doctrines about how we ought to deal with disablement. One such view was put very well by the noble Baroness. Lady Lane-Fox, when we had the vaccine damage debate. The view put forward then was that we ought to use our resources to help all disabled people depending upon the nature of their disablement and the extent of their disablement. The other view is that we should select particular groups of disabled people—for instance, people who are vaccine damaged or people injured on the roads, as the noble Lord's supplementary question implied—and concentrate on particular groups of the disabled not according to the nature or extent but according to the cause of their disablement. I belong to the "Lane-Fox school"; but the Government have not yet adopted quite the same view.

Prioritize Comfort and Well-being: Creating a comfortable and safe environment is crucial for both physical and emotional well-being. Set up a space that is free from distractions and provides the necessary privacy. Remember to also check your emotional state before entering a session to ensure you are in a positive and healthy mindset. Manage Expectations: While webcam experiences can be incredibly satisfying, it’s important to manage expectations. Not every session will be an instant success, and that’s perfectly normal. Approach each interaction with an open mind, allowing room for exploration and learning. Embrace Variety: Variety is the spice of life, and the same applies to live webcam interactions. Experiment with different partners, scenarios, and role-play if you feel comfortable. This can help you better understand your desires and broaden your experiences. Aftercare Matters: Just as you would after a physical encounter, practice aftercare following a webcam session.
Take time to wind down, reflect on the experience, and ensure your emotional well-being. Engaging in self-care rituals can aid in maintaining a positive outlook. In conclusion, achieving your live webcam sex goals requires a holistic approach that encompasses communication, consent, self-awareness, and well-being. By prioritizing these elements, individuals can embark on virtual journeys that are fulfilling, respectful, and aligned with their desires. Remember, xxx webcams the key to a satisfying experience lies in mutual respect, consent, and a commitment to personal growth.Title: The Crucial Element Shared by All Live Webcam Sex Success Stories In an era marked by the proliferation of online adult entertainment, live webcam sex has carved out a unique niche for itself.

Unlike pre-recorded adult content, live live webcams sex webcam sessions allow performers to engage with viewers on a personal level.

Equally significant is the role that platforms play in nurturing these success stories.

System Security is a type of rogue security malware, or smitfraud. It is distributed via malicious websites, but also comes bundled with fake video codecs. Given the ubiquity of video content on the web these days, most PC users are used to installing all kinds of codecs needed to play clips or movies.
Unlike many other examples of rogue malware, system security virus is a well-crafted pest. It causes havoc on infected computers.
Here’s a list of symptoms.
1. Task Mananger, Command Prompt, Registry Editor get disabled. For many PC owners, these are the tools to be used in the first place. This particular malware disables many Windows modules.
2. Currently installed antivirus programs may fail to detect the infection, and are taken over by the virus. When it happens, antivirus software becomes useless; it cannot be started.
3. Desktop wallpaper is replaced by scary warnings.
4. Windows Security Center starts displaying fake warnings urging the user to download the cure.
5. System Security virus comes with a scanner to show fake results of present infections.
6. Almost all applications cannot be open showing the warnings “the file xyz is infected”. No installation of security programs is possible due to same very reason.
Here’s a short list of steps to remove system security virus in case of emergency (when you have no a tech person on call).
1. Open My Computer, go to C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication Data and look for a folder with the numeric name (e.g. 11480154). Inside it, there should be two lonely files, one of them with the numeric filename same as the name of the folder. Delete both files and the folder.
2. Restart Windows.
3. Go to Start, Run, type in MSCONFIG and click OK to launch Microsoft Configuration Utility. Navigate to Startup tab and look for the entry with the numeric name. Uncheck the box near it.
4. If there are entries pointing to C:Program Files with “System Security” in the path, remove the checks from those boxes as well.
5. Right-click on My Computer. Go to System Restore. Check the box stating “Turn off System Restore”. Windows will warn you about restore points being deleted. Click OK and restart.
6. Now enable Windows System Restore (by removing the checkmark from the box in #5).
Finally, run a scan with your antivirus or antispyware software (which should be functioning by now) to remove system security entries.

When I’m 8, I use my grandmother’s boxy computer and Comic Sans 14-pt font to write stories about girls who don’t fit in, but who still manage to go on adventures. In fact, they’re better suited for adventures because they don’t fit in. Since they don’t have a place in the world, there’s nothing holding them back and they don’t need anyone’s help. (I’m too young to worry about author intrusion.)
Around 15, my stories become about teens tasked with saving others and stopping evil. They’re always outcasts and traumatized (though I don’t think of them that way at the time). Their powers are often elemental and destructive, their pain can burn their homes to ash, turn their friends to enemies. (Their fathers are dead because my father is dead.) They’re unlikely saviors, maybe too broken for the challenges they face, but they know what it’s like to be lonely and afraid and in need of saving, and they won’t leave anybody else to feel that way.
In my early 20s, I stop reading and writing for fun. It’s not that I don’t miss flying with dragons or kissing boys with cold lips and even colder hearts, but I can’t afford to escape reality. (I would never come back.)
In my late 20s, I start the slow process of scraping off the emotional grime that’s insulated (stifled) me. I get a library card and listen to audiobooks on the bus. I rediscover the fantasies and the futures that took me in when the real world wasn’t safe. (Funny how finding a home can free you to travel.)
Now, in my 30s, the stories I love have changed and matured with me. I write for all the girls and not-girls I was, as well as the unfathomable being I aspire to be. And while my reading now takes me across many genres and styles, there will always be a special place in my heart and room at my table for the misfits. Even if we have to add a chair or two and get real cozy with each other, we’re making the space.
Which brings me to the most exciting part: sharing creative work that I loved!
The Apparition Lit team and I have brought together four stories that are often as uncanny as they are familiar, and as often windows as they are mirrors: “Through the Glass, a Full Sea” by P.H. Low, “Tavern Tale” by Mare Knaupp, “The Sea Hare” by Wailana Kalama, and “A Catalog of Gifts from a Crow” by Jo Miles.
We have also four incredible poems for you: “Helen After Helen” by Rasha Abdulhadi, “Hunger” by Nnadi Samuel, “Invertebrate Gazebo” by Angela Acosta, and “Marriage” by Yee Heng Yeh.
And lastly, we’ve been graced with an essay by Tania Chen called “Symmetry, Horror & Identity.”
Originally, I wanted to talk about the parallels in theme and subject matter I saw throughout the issue, but I don’t want to spoil anything, and besides, now I’m curious: What similarities do you find? I wonder if we’ll see eye to eye.

Every week there seems to be a new report on the potential downsides of biofuels.
This week it is the turn of British MPs. UK and European governments should not have pursued targets to increase the use of biofuels without putting in place “robust” measures to prevent environmental damage, the MPs are warning.
The Commons environmental audit committee said that while it recognised that some biofuels are sustainable and could be used to reduce emissions from transport, the absence of robust sustainability standards and mechanisms to prevent damaging land use could lead to environmental damage in the UK and the loss of crucial rainforests around the world.
In its report, Are Biofuels Sustainable? the committee urged the government to ensure that its biofuels policy balanced greenhouse gas emission cuts with wider environmental impacts, “so that biofuels are only used where they contribute to sustainable emissions reductions”.
“Without this reassessment biofuels could lead to a range of environmental impacts including water pollution and biodiversity loss. In addition the absence of international mechanisms to protect rainforests means that biofuels will add further to the already significant pressures to cut them down to make way for palm oil plantations,” the report reads.
“On the basis of current biofuel technology, more greenhouse gas cuts could be achieved at lower cost and risk by implementing a range of other policies.”
But still the biofuel revolution continues apace.

West Jordan • A former Utah Highway Patrol trooper of the year intentionally violated the agency's policies twice during a 2010 traffic stop, the trooper admitted in court Tuesday.
Lisa Steed, who in 2007 became the first woman to earn the honor after making more than 200 DUI arrests, was reprimanded for leaving her microphone in her vehicle so her superiors would not know she was about to make the driver use a portable breath test before performing a field sobriety test, a violation of UHP policy.
The details of Steed's November 2010 reprimand were made public for the first time Tuesday during a hearing to suppress evidence in a separate DUI case. Earlier this year, 3rd District Judge Mark Kouris ruled that a defense attorney for Theron Alexander, 54, who faces felony drug counts and a misdemeanor DUI charge, could use parts of the controversial trooper's personnel file in the case.
Defense attorneys have criticized Steed for using unlawful tactics in DUI stops, and Alexander's attorney, Joseph Jardine, says Steed's reprimand further puts her credibility in question.
On the witness stand Tuesday, Steed said she was forthcoming with superiors about her violations after the driver in the March 2010 stop filed a complaint.
"I don't know why I did it," said Steed, who admitted to intentionally leaving the microphone in the car so her lieutenant would not find out about the violation. "It's one of the stupidest things I've done."
Reports by UHP officials and the Salt Lake District Attorney's Office, however, suggest Steed only admitted to intentionally violating policy after she had been reprimanded. The court hearing was continued until next month so Jardine can subpoena Steed's superiors.
Steed said she stopped Alexander on Jan. 2, 2010, near 5900 South and 700 West because his license plate light was out. Alexander testified Tuesday that he checked his light just 10 minutes before the arrest, something he says he does each night before he leaves work. He also admitted to using heroin that day.
Kouris has already ruled against Alexander's motion to suppress, saying the video of the arrest was not clear, so he had to side with Steed. But Jardine believes Steed's credibility is suspect and hopes to sway the judge with new evidence.
Jardine said Kouris has limited how much of Steed's file he is allowed to bring up in court. "There's other evidence I'm not allowed to discuss," he said.
UHP has issued Steed one other reprimand, but the details of the violation have not been disclosed.
Steed's file could be used in other DUI cases. Blake Nakamura, chief deputy with the Salt Lake County Attorney's Office, said his office has supplied the same information regarding Steed to attorneys in other cases.

Today's HIGH NOON featured work is called "Sunrise on Baddeck" by artist Jenny Johnson. This work measures16" x 20", and is painted with oil on canvas. Although the subject matter may be Winter, the warmth and glow of the sky and landscape in this painting makes Winter almost bearable. This work was painted in 2011 and we are amazed that it hasn't found a home, as it's had a lot of admirers over the years. We have a group of artists that love painting skies and clouds at our gallery, and Jenny is no exception! Even though the title of the painting speaks of Cape Breton, it surely could be almost anywhere in Atlantic Canada. This sky is alive!
Until tomorrow at HIGH NOON, this work is priced at $385. After that time, it will go back to it's original price of $650. This work is also UNframed but ready to hang on your wall (painted on wide canvas). If you have been eying this work in the past, now is a great time to purchase it.

Pakistani fine arts are rich and fluctuating, from complicated truck craftsmanship enhancing bright vehicles to deep Sufi music and hypnotizing verse. The culinary scene is similarly different, with territorial claims to fame like Sindhi biryani, Punjabi karahi, and Pashtun chapli kebab tempting taste buds.
Difficulties and Change:
Like all societies, Pakistan wrestles with current difficulties. Offsetting custom with an impacting world can be perplexing, particularly for more youthful ages. However, in the midst of these intricacies, the soul of flexibility and the hug of imagination keep on molding Pakistan's social scene.

Is Sociable Science Scientific?
Sociology is definitely a logical scientific research, it has you will that additional sciences include, its own theories that can be proved, as well as having systematic ideas and laws. John Maynard Keynes refuted the many statements made by Auguste Comte and Friedrich Engels, simply this individual described social sciences because illogical and dull. Thus, without featuring any satisfactory evidence, he had not verified that, in fact , sociology is not scientific. Auguste Comte regularly in contrast sociology to other familiar forms of technology, like biology, physics, and chemistry. To do so , selection the assumption that others believed sociology to be technological. Comte, unintentionally, provided satisfactory evidence as to why sociology is scientific, while at the same time simply conveying sociology all together. Much just like Comte, Friedrich Engels also available social sciences to be medical, Engels was able to apply Comtes beliefs plus the basis of sociology to sensible situations and groups of persons. His strong belief inside the science of sociology helped him constitute the basic proven fact that knowledge is what makes a person free, hence, ignorance is exactly what restricts people. John Maynard Keynes is definitely the challenger of Friedrich Engels, because he often disputed Engels work, especially his work on social savoir. Keynes discovered socialism to become a utopianism suitable, which triggered people to easily be influenced devoid of really attending to all the details. He couldnt believe that there were any science involved whatsoever, and thus everyone was being wrong and record was inspired in a unfavorable way. Devoid of Keynes rendering specific data as to why sociable science is usually not clinical, Comte and Engels tips on sociology cannot be discussed.
Auguste Comte, who is credited with being the beginning father of sociology, highly believes that form of know-how is in fact clinical. He provides evidence such as his particular stages of awareness, these stages will be comparable to additional scientific regulations, like the distinct stages in physical, human development in the science of Biology. The three different periods, mythopoetic, metaphysical and confident, can become observed in the maturation of a child in an adult, everyone progresses through these 3 phases. Comte held interpersonal sciences towards the same natural laws that various other sciences are held to, however this individual also explained how sociology is different. He believed the main element difference in social savoir, is that the reasons behind phenomena and specific actions are investigated, rather that forgotten. Comte went as far as to compare his third level of knowledge, great (also generally known as scientific) into a type of faith, because he believed that positivism holds the entire truth, and one day this kind of whole truth will replace what is certainly not real in theology. His strong values and descriptions of sociology provide others with proof that there is a scientific system in this know-how.
Friedrich Engels even more supported statements made by Auguste Comte, and also added his own morals and conclusions to maintain the fact that sociology is usually scientific. Engels took Comtes findings and applied those to groups of people. He declared ignorance is known as a sign of someone who is certainly not freedom, flexibility comes with the understanding gained. He is known for applying Marxists morals to sociology. Many deemed Engels radical because of his ideas on how social scientific research is logical and because of his application of his sociological beliefs to common people. His primary objective in his teachings was to show how exterior nature influences internal regulations. Also, Friedrich is a certain amount with finding a scientific pattern within social sciences, this only provides more evidence that sociology can be scientific. Friedrich Engels capacity to see the science inside of sociology and further build upon Comtes findings really helps to illustrate the scientific design.
Unlike Martyr Comte and Friedrich Engels, John Maynard Keynes located sociology to get anything but scientific, in fact , this individual believed that it was completely reasonless and it falsely led people to comply with its beliefs. It is hard to know Keynes standpoint because he doesnt openly condition his studies that well guided him to believe this. Keynes doesnt particularly attack Comtes views, nevertheless he reviews Engels conclusions strongly, especially Engels great associate Carl Marxs Marxian Socialism. Keynes, like many other critics, believed that Engels misunderstood most of Marx and Comtes conclusions, leading socialism into a non-scientific field. Sadly, due to Keynes lack of assisting evidence, it is hard to understand his beliefs against sociology, hence he will not derive any kind of proof that social research is certainly not scientific.
Sociology is in fact medical because it is extremely systematical, systematic, and logical. The two many sustaining pieces of evidence to back up this is the 3 stages expertise, as discovered by Comte and Engels scientific pattern in Sociology. John Maynard Keynes had not been able to further more prove that there was no scientific research involved in sociology, he merely tried to minimize its validity. Overall, Sociology is considered a science simply by most, this is due to Auguste Comte and Friedrich Engels strong evidence supporting it.

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe on March 23 signed into law S.B. 1445, which requires appraisal management companies operating in the state to compensate appraisers at a reasonable and customary rate. The legislation gives the Virginia Real Estate Appraiser Board authority to take administrative action against AMCs not paying appraisers customary and reasonable fees in accordance with federal law.
Prior to enactment of the legislation, Virginia law already required an appraiser engaged by an AMC to disclose as part of the appraisal report the actual fee they were paid. In 2014, the Virginia Center for Housing Research and the Virginia Tech Program in Real Estate completed a survey of Virginia residential real estate appraisers to analyze the patterns of fees earned by appraisers the previous year. Prior to release of the report, no data existed that defined customary and reasonable residential real estate appraisal fees in Virginia.
Several other states have provisions in their AMC laws similar to those passed by Virginia, and a few others currently are considering similar legislation. Some states simply require AMCs to provide a certification to the state appraiser licensing and certification agency stating that they are complying with federal law regarding payments of reasonable and customary fees. Other states specifically require the payment of reasonable and customary fees and grant authority to the state licensing agency to investigate complaints against AMCs related to appraisal fees and to take administrative action against those found to be in violation of state law.

When you don’t get enough sleep, it may lead to health problems. In fact, a recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found a potential link between sleeping less than six hours a night and atherosclerotic lesions–the buildup of cholesterol in the wall of your blood vessel–in different blood vessels of the body.
This buildup can keep growing larger, progressively narrowing the vessel. Picture reducing a four lane highway to three, two, one or even no lanes. That is what happens to your blood vessels when you get less than six hours of sleep.
What happens to the blood vessel?
When the blood vessel gets too narrow, it can no longer provide enough blood and oxygen to whatever parts of the body depend on the blood vessel. This might be your heart, your brain, your kidney or any other part of your body. Plaque can also break off and travel through your bloodstream, which can continue to cause further harm to your health and well-being.
There is a growing body of evidence that less and worse sleep could increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. When you sleep, that is the time for your body to heal and restore itself, which can include fixing the damage in your blood vessel walls.
Contact Dr. Mayoor Patel at Craniofacial Pain & Dental Sleep Center of Georgia to learn more about how you can protect your health and get a better night’s sleep.

Now in its 13th summer, In The City Camps offer a Jewish day camp option that packs the best aspects of overnight camp into a fun and immersive day camp routine. CEO and founder, Eileen Snow Price has her finger on the pulse of the changing needs of Jewish kids and families. She has shaped In The City Camps to be a joyous refuge for children that reflect the kind of activities that kids want today and infused camp with Jewish values that promote connectiveness and B’tselem elohim, the inherent value of every child.
In The City Camps literally started in Eileen Price’s backyard! As a mom who loved overnight camp, Price adapted its best ideas — counselors who are role models, a bunk “feeling,” daily activity choices, color war, inclusivity, and independence. This year, In The City Camps will enroll 720 kids (ages 5 and up) and 160 staff this summer. It is one of the largest and most diverse Jewish camp options in the metro area and one of the largest employers of Jewish youth in Atlanta. There are five separate bus routes that bring kids to Atlanta Jewish Academy, where the camp is based.
While 95% of campers are Jewish, you don’t have to be Jewish to feel you belong at In The City Camps. By design, the camp is open individual differences and needs. “We are a very comfortable place for kids who are on the spectrum, who are socially ‘outsiders,’ or not connected to the Jewish community,” Price says. “This year enrolled a lot of Israeli kids from families who came to Atlanta for respite after the October 7 attacks. “Camp has helped them assimilate and feel at home. Another version of being inclusive is that we recently enrolled a refugee child who came to us from a displaced persons camp in Africa. He spoke not a word of English, but now is fluent and thriving!”
Every day at camp there are 20 adult-led activities. “Kids make their own schedules and decisions about what they want to do. It fosters autonomy and exposes kids to new skills and experiences. We’re always changing and evolving. We instituted wood working this summer and found it gave our kids a real sense of accomplishment. It’s now one of our most successful programs,” Price says.
In The City Camps receives an annual allocation from Federation’s Partner’s Fund and deeply values the financial support. “To us it means partnering with the organization that is truly the backbone of Jewish Atlanta. We are thriving and growing as a result of their investment.”
Your gift to The Partners Fund supports In The City Camps, and other Jewish day camp options in Atlanta.

Jérémie Rodon, AWS Cloud Architect at Devoteam Revolve
Hero since 2020
Jérémie is curious, hungry for knowledge and he is a big fan of automation and scripting. His engineering education obviously fixed nothing and consequently he loves working on AWS with the tools allowing him to automate ever bigger things.
Jérémie is a 9x certified AWS Cloud Architect working for Devoteam Revolve, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner.

Can Anger Be Channelled?
There is a great deal of anger in all corners of our world today. All we have to do is plug into any one of our media sources and we will experience the existing deep divisions, conflicts, judgement and anger.
But what about the anger within ourselves?
There is not one person on this planet who has not experienced some level of betrayal, loss, shame or has been wounded deeply. And sometimes the anger just builds up inside of us, especially as we visit the dark places in our mind and stay with the disappointment and hurt. And not knowing how to channel it, we lash out at the world and continue to feed these cycles at our own expense.
But what if we can become aware about the anger and hurt within us and choose how we direct it? That’s what happened to me. One day an ex-friend, who is a therapist, decided that it was her job to tell me over and over that I am a victim. I had no idea where her assessment of me came from as I was not a client of hers. I questioned it and it didn’t resonate at all and then, I realized she was referring to herself and not me. In our story, she was the bully and she wanted me to be her victim.
Making A Conscious Choice
Before I realized any of this, I did get angry at first. But I quickly learned that anger allows me to make a choice: I can either let the anger direct me or I can choose to channel it and birth something new.
For me, I spent some time internally feeling deeply into this anger and found that it provided me with guidance and a passion to create something new. While people thought I was nuts to walk away from a very prestigious project, the anger I experienced was a gift from my heart to walk away from a toxic partnership. Had I stayed, I would have ended up angry and victimized.
Once I recognized that I had a choice, I no longer allowed anger or fear to weaken my immune system. My inner knowing is what I tapped into, instead of the chaos surrounding me.
When we live from our hearts, we become aware that we have a choice in how we respond and react. We no longer care as much about success or failure as we make choices for our own wellbeing. We can choose to spend a lifetime living in anger, disappointment and judgement of ourselves and others, or we can take another path. It’s easy to point fingers, blame and shame. This is much of how our story has played out until now.
Drama is playing out on our screens, as much as our lives, but we get to change the channel and pick who we want to bring into our lives. Our journey is our own and we get to consciously make choices in every aspect of our life.
What if anger is also a gift that allows us to channel it so healthy experiences and relationships are birthed?
What are you leaving behind? What will be possible when you do?

Obesity rates are rising. However, bariatric surgery utilization remains low. For over five decades surgeons have used procedures that help reduce a patient’s weight. The procedures include gastric bypass, duodenal switch, gastric banding, and sleeve gastrectomy. Research shows that these procedures are more effective. This helps patients lose weight faster than traditional methods such as dieting and exercise.
However, the number of eligible people who use bariatric surgery remains around 0.5%. This is a decrease from the 1990s. Then the rate was 0.7%. In this time period, the number of patients who qualified for bariatric surgery tripled.
One specific cause for this has not been found. However, it is believed that this lack of bariatric surgery utilization could be due to many combined factors, such as a slowly growing workforce, misconceptions, skepticism, and a hesitancy by some providers to refer patients for bariatric surgery. On top of this are insurance and financial hurdles. These are another common challenge that could be contributing to this lower utilization rate.
Weight loss surgery is life saving. It is for hundreds of thousands of people. Thousands more could be helped. But they don’t get the care. Why don’t more people get it?
Consider the Numbers
More than 346 million people live in the United States. 20% of them could get weight loss surgery. That’s scary. Why is that?
That means 20% of Americans have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 35. They may have a BMI of 30 with another medical condition related to weight. That could include type 2 diabetes. Or it may be high blood pressure. That’s about 69 million people. That’s an incredible number of people.
Just 200,000 to 300,000 people get surgery. That’s so few who could! So many more could receive help. Yet, they don’t.
Reasons Why People Do Not Get Bariatric Surgery
Why do so many people do not get weight loss surgery? It’s hard to know. There could be numerous reasons. Mostly, we don’t know though.
One of the most common is insurance. A study published by the National Institutes of Health has some worrisome facts. About 53% of doctors believe their patients cannot afford the procedure. However, most insurance companies will cover the cost if necessitated by health. Still, out-of-pocket costs are a key factor.
Patients also don’t often know they qualify. Doctors may continue to push other weight loss methods. That may include eating healthy and exercise. The NIH study above cited a lack of patient and physician communication as another factor. That study found 71.1% of patients who received weight loss surgery did not learn about it from their primary care doctor. That is, their doctor never mentioned it.
Misconception about risks and benefits is another big factor. All surgeries carry some risk. Weight loss surgery is a very serious procedure. Yet, many people fear its use.
It is not fully understood why more people do not get a life saving procedure that’s been used for more than 60 years to treat obesity. If you have thought about this procedure, it may be time to open up the conversation yourself. Talk to your doctor. Reach out to a weight loss clinic.

Diving can aid in combating obesity as it is an intense cardiovascular exercise that burns calories. Additionally, it also provides an entertaining activity that can encourage individuals to move and be more active. Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet is crucial to maximize the effects of exercise on weight loss.
Is diving recommended for obese individuals?
Scuba diving can be adapted for obese individuals, but there may be additional safety considerations due to potential comorbidities. Therefore, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any physical activity, including scuba diving, to ensure it does not pose health risks.
The comorbidities associated with obesity include:
- Cardiovascular diseases: may be a concern for divin
- Type 2 diabetes: may pose an issue for diving
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): can be a problem for diving but often possible if blood pressure is well regulated.
- Sleep apnea
- Joint diseases: Thanks to the buoyancy of the water, movements are simplified.
- Cancer : See our article on diving and cancer.
- Liver diseases (fatty liver): to be discussed with your doctor.
- Psychological illnesses (depression, eating disorders) : la plongée est un très bon outils à ce niveau
It is important to note that obesity can lead to an increased risk of developing these conditions and may also worsen existing health issues.
It is also important to note that scuba diving may require more physical effort than some other sports due to the demands of breathing underwater and handling equipment. Individuals with obesity may have cardiovascular issues, difficulties in breathing, and challenges in moving in the water, so it’s crucial to ensure that their physical condition allows them to participate in this activity.
It is also crucial to ensure that the equipment used is suitable for the needs of individuals with obesity, such as larger diving suits or properly adjusted weight belts. Additionally, it’s important to ensure that individuals with obesity are guided by experienced instructors who are aware of their specific needs.
In summary, scuba diving can be adapted for individuals with obesity, but it is essential to consult a doctor before starting this activity, taking into account safety considerations associated with it.
The Bathysmed Diving Protocol and Obesity
La plongée Bathysmed peut aussi avoir des avantages sur l’Obésité et l’alimentation émotionnelle. Les premiers résultats sur la réduction des niveaux de stress lors d’une étude menée en 2022 (ObéDive) par Bathysmed auprès de 34 personnes souffrant d’obésité a montré des effets positifs et très encourageant, surtout au niveau de l’alimentation émotionnelle.
What is emotional eating?
Emotional eating is an eating behavior where individuals eat to manage their emotions rather than to satisfy physical hunger. People who engage in emotional eating often use food to cope with emotions such as sadness, anxiety, anger, or boredom. This type of eating can be frequent and uncontrollable and may lead to overweight and health issues such as diabetes and heart disease.
There are several reasons why people may resort to emotional eating. Some may use food to comfort themselves when feeling lonely or stressed. Others may have unfavorable eating habits related to childhood experiences or eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia.
It is important to note that emotional eating is not a recognized medical condition, but it can be a behavior associated with other mental disorders such as depression or anxiety disorders. Therefore, it is crucial to consult a mental health professional to discuss the causes and treatments of this eating behavior.
There are strategies to manage emotional eating, such as practicing mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, regular exercise, and stress management, which can help individuals identify and manage the emotions that lead them to eat inappropriately.
The use of the Bathysmed protocol is particularly recommended as it combines
- the practice of physical exercise – facilitated by the state of weightlessness underwater
- Practice of meditation and mindfulness techniques
- Learning stress management techniques
- Increase in basal metabolism thanks to the underwater environment

Bayern Munich has witnessed some world-class players representing them in the last five years. It has been almost 10 years since the German Champions had failed to win the Bundesliga title. They have been dominant in the league, creating a huge gap between them and other clubs in Germany.
The success achieved by Bayern has largely been achieved with the help of good coaches and sound recruitment. An efficient approach to recruitment has been one of the reasons behind so much success for Bayern in the last five years. The club has always done proper research on transfers, helping them have an excellent hit rate in the transfer market. However, some of their signings under Hasan Salihamidzic have failed to impress the fans of the Bavarian side.
Bayern’s core has always been German players. The current squad also has many German players. The Bavarian side is also looking at some of the hot German prospects to improve their attack. Having said that, some of the best foreign players in Europe have represented the Bavarian side in the last five years.
However, not every transfer Bayern completed in recent years has turned out to be successful. Bayern has to blame for some poor business over the last five years. Considering all these important factors, here are the five worst players that the Bavarian side has signed under Hasan Salihamidzic.

This slow cooker spaghetti sauce is one of our family’s favorite Tuesday night dinners. Why Tuesday night? Because I work on Tuesdays and need something easy and quick for dinner. Also, everyone loves this spaghetti sauce at our house and there are no complaints – a win!
Why is this sauce so darn good? Something almost magical happens when it cooks all day in the slow cooker. The meat becomes super tender, which actually helps make the sauce nice and thick. Also, the tomato products have a chance to caramelize a bit. This results in a sauce with amazing flavor!
Could you cook this spaghetti sauce on the stove? Probably. But it would take a long time, you would have to babysit the pot so it would not burn, and it may never develop the qualities that make this sauce so yummy. The slow cooker is the way to go, baby! Read on to learn how to make this at home.
Assemble the Ingredients
This sauce uses simple ingredients that many people already have on hand. We will go through them now:
Tomato products – This sauce uses a large 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes. Why is that, do you ask? How are crushed tomatoes different than tomato sauce? Canned tomato sauce is made from tomatoes of course. But it also contains a bunch of other seasonings in it. On the other hand, crushed tomatoes are just that—crushed tomatoes, with a bit of citric acid and salt, for flavor. I like using the crushed tomatoes because it gives me more control over what seasonings go in the sauce.
Now, since crushed tomatoes are a little thinner than regular tomato sauce, I add in a small 6 oz. can of tomato paste to help thicken the sauce. I love tomato paste and use it all of the time. Tomato paste is about as simple as it gets ingredient wise–tomatoes. The combination of the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste gives this sauce a perfect thickness.
Ground beef – This sauce contains a pound of ground beef. Try to choose the leanest ground beef possible because it will cook in the sauce and you will not be able to drain away the grease.
Onions, garlic, and mushrooms – These give the sauce great flavor. I use onions and garlic out of my garden when I have them. For the mushrooms I use a 6 oz. can of chopped canned mushrooms for two reasons. First, they are easy and I can just dump them in. Also, they have been cooked and a lot of the extra moisture is gone. Fresh mushrooms might make the sauce too watery. And did I mention that canned mushrooms are easy?
You might notice that the mushrooms are missing from the picture above. I forgot to buy them at the store—oops! The sauce was almost as delicious without them 🙂
Seasonings – This sauce contains a variety of seasonings. The sugar and salt are importance for the balance of the sauce. You can adjust these to taste. The others seasonings help to develop depth of flavor. Adjust them to what you like!
Make the Sauce
To make the sauce you dump all the ingredients in the slow cooker and stir it up. Seriously. It does not get any easier than that!
This sauce can be prepped ahead to save you time in the morning. To do this stir everything together the night before. Take the liner out of the slow cooker base, cover it with the lid, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning all you need to do is take it out of the fridge, pop it in the base, turn it on, and go about your day.
Cook the sauce on low for at least 8 hours. When I am at work it cooks for 10 hours and turns out great. The longer cooking process is necessary to help the sugars in the tomatoes caramelize and develop a deeper flavor. Do you see how the color has changed the picture below?
When you get home you will be greeted with the most amazing smell! Boil up some noodles, add some garlic roasted green beans (recipe here) and you have yourself a delicious meal everyone will love! Yum!
I hope you get to try this slow cooker spaghetti sauce soon. Happy Cooking!
Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
- 1 can tomato paste (6 oz)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can sliced mushrooms (4 oz), drained
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon dried mustard
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- Dash red pepper flakes, or to taste
- Stir all ingredients together in slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- Serve hot over spaghetti or as desired.
Be sure to pin for later!

As part of the recent bankruptcy filing, the defunct crypto exchange FTX, along with 101 of the 130 affiliated companies, announced the launch of a strategic review of their global assets. The review is an attempt to maximize recoverable value for stakeholders.
FTX, at the time led by CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Nov. 11 after being caught misappropriating user funds. The bankruptcy filing sought to cushion the losses of stakeholders connected to FTX and affiliated companies, a.k.a FTX debtors.
1/ Sharing a Press Release issued early today –
FTX launches strategic review of its global assets. Text below (and link). https://t.co/wxz9MYnXrn
— FTX (@FTX_Official) November 19, 2022
FTX debtors are in talks with financial services firm Perella Weinberg Partners for various sale or reorganization attempts. However, FTX cautioned that “the engagement of PWP is subject to court approval.”
SBF’s replacement, CEO John J. Ray III, confirmed that FTX affiliates have solvent balance sheets, which could be sold or restructured to cut losses. While highlighting that some subsidiaries, such as crypto exchange LedgerX, are exempted as debtors in the bankruptcy filing, he added:
“Either way, it will be a priority of ours in the coming weeks to explore sales, recapitalizations or other strategic transactions with respect to these subsidiaries and others that we identify as our work continues.”
Moreover, FTX debtors have parallelly filed motions seeking interim relief from the bankruptcy court, which is slated to be heard on Nov. 22, 2022. While no deadline for sale or restructuring has been set, Ray requested all stakeholders “to be patient.”
On Nov. 19, the law firm assisting FTX and SBF amid bankruptcy backed off from representing the entrepreneur, citing conflicts of interest.
According to Paul, Weiss attorney Martin Flumenbaum:
“We informed Mr. Bankman-Fried several days ago, after the filing of the FTX bankruptcy, that conflicts have arisen that precluded us from representing him.”
Flumenbaum believed that Sam Bankman-Fried’s “incessant and disruptive tweeting” negatively impacted the reorganization efforts of the lawyers.

This the season to be abandoning dogs. I have two new fellows looking for a great home. Both are HDB approved breeds so please help me spread the word.
Pa brought Bruno and me to go take a look at the poor fellows. We really couldn't wait to meet up with them.
Bruno doesn't really remember but he himself has been re-homed to Pa. Its just great he is happy now and just wants to help out.
Sometimes I just wonder what goes on in his little head of his... However... this post is about two abandon dogs needing a new home. SPREAD THE WORD!
Meet Fifi. She is about 4-5 years old Salt and Pepper Schnauzer. She is very small in size, only slightly bigger than Nikki the Brave.
She has a very nice coat and structure... and she doesn't make any nice... till she goes for a walk outside... then she whines a bit. I'm sure that could be easily corrected.
She was abandoned because her first owner got pregnant. Then again her second owner left her for the same reason. She is a sweet affectionate girl that is pretty much calm and socialized.
This is Whiskey. a 1.5 year old Salt and Pepper male Schnauzer. He has probably never been groomed since his owner got him.
Threatened to be put to sleep, the 21 year old owner told the fosterer that if he doesn't want to take the dog right now, that's what he'll do. He doesn't care for the dog at all. Uncle Kelvin (the Fosterer) would probably bring Whiskey down for a bath and grooming by next week Wednesday. Whiskey sure seems socialized and a pretty sweet dog. Much to Pa's surprise.
I was however more skeptical, so I tested them myself. They do taste a little funny, but ok at the same time. They definitely pass the Bear Test.
So both these dogs need urgent homes asap. Please contact Pa via email at email@example.com. Please spread the message as fast as you can! Thank you.

Some New York Schools Are Closed April 8th, Here’s Why
An interesting reason has led select New York schools to give students and staff the day off on April 8th.
Almost every calendar year many school districts across New York will entertain some sort of discussion regarding the days kids have off from school. Oftentimes the discussions among parents and educators will include adding or in some cases subtracting the days kids are given off from school.
Days Off From School in New York
You've heard the arguments about whether school should be closed the Monday after the Super Bowl. Should kids have off on Sept 11th every year? How about kids having the day off from school to watch the solar eclipse? As a parent with kids still in school, I've heard arguments for the first two and agree that 9/11 should be a day off from school and work so that we never forget the awful events that took place on September 11, 2001, but a day off to watch a solar eclipse?
New York School Districts Closed for Eclipse
If you haven't heard about the "total solar eclipse" yet, it's supposed to happen on Monday, April 8th, and is expected to be visible along a "narrow track stretching from Texas to Maine" according to NASA.
The total eclipse won't fully be visible across the Hudson Valley but NASA is saying that it will be fully visible in Buffalo, New York and because of that students in school districts in Western New York are being given the day off so they can not only view the eclipse from home but also avoid all of the traffic the area is expecting according to New York Upstate.
Western New York is expecting a massive influx of tourists in the area on April 8th as many try to view the total eclipse. Erie County alone is preparing for up to one million tourists to enter the region to try and see the historic eclipse and due to traffic concerns, the Buffalo City School District announced earlier this year that they are giving its approximately 32,000 students and staff April 8.
Buffalo isn't the only district giving kids the day off, as 27 of Erie County’s 28 public school districts also list April 8th as a day off.
When Will the Solar Eclipse be Visible in New York?
The path of the eclipse is expected to cross over New York in the afternoon of April 8th and although the Hudson Valley will probably only get a partial eclipse (if we can even see it...LOL) the moon is expected to be completely black out the sun over Buffalo at 3:18 p.m. leaving a "glowing corona ring" around the moon.
An event like this hasn’t occurred in the region since 1925 and if you miss it you'll probably never get another chance because it's not expected to happen again until 2144.

The meeting was also attended by Rosario Molinero, Mexico's Ambassador to Hungary, and Armando Lopez Trujillo, Trade Counsellor. On behalf of BCCI, Sándor László, Vice President and Péter Babák, Head of the International Relations Office attended the meeting.
A new initiative of the Directorate General is the Atlas project, which seeks to address the challenges identified in the priority areas of economic recovery by involving foreign partners. Another important aim of the DG is to develop an action plan to transform the Mexican automotive industry, which accounts for more than 31% of the country's GDP, and to develop the urban infrastructure to produce and receive alternative-powered electric vehicles, including training and preparing suppliers.
The parallels between the economies of the two countries and the potential links and cooperation opportunities in this area were also highlighted.
The transition to alternative fuel vehicles has become urgent. It requires two essential elements: a network of charging stations with sufficient infrastructure capacity and a technologically advanced service background. To achieve this goal, it is also important to train the professionals providing the servicing process. That is why, in January, BCCI will launch a training course for the repair of alternative fuel vehicles.
Both parties agreed that this training programme could be effectively adapted and aligned with the above-mentioned Mexican efforts to restructure the mobility environment. The Mexican party has expressed its openness to explore the adaptability of the programme, on which discussions will be initiated soon.
At the end of the meeting, the parties agreed that the transfer of knowledge and exchange of experience between the two countries could be a priority in launching cooperation, with BCCI offering to present the Atlas programme to businesses in Budapest that see business potential in Mexico. Mr Martínez also confirmed the importance he attaches to the exchange of experience in the field of human resources, and he suggested the further training of highly qualified Mexican staff in Hungary as an example, including through bilateral scholarship agreements.

This homebrew D&D take on Heroes of the Storm makes me want to play both
Heroes of the Storm is a game made out of all of Blizzard’s other games, and as such, I find it really interesting that Reddit user Shamus_Aran decided to create his own 5th Edition D&D supplement around Heroes. His homebrew D&D supplement adapts various races, class features, and items from Heroes with impressive results. I especially find this interesting because I’m currently scheduled to play in a 5th Edition game adapting World of Warcraft.
Speaking of which, as you can see, WoW gets a bit of love in Shamus-Aran’s homebrew with his rules for Ettinkin — a way to adapt two-headed Ogres like Cho’gall to the tabletop. I’m not saying this is exactly how I’d do it — for one thing, I’m way more familiar with 3rd Edition — but seeing others try this kind of thing makes me itch to try crafting a campaign sourcebook that plays around with the whole idea of the Nexus.
The original thread on Reddit shows you people reacting to the work, and that’s one of the things I love the most about homebrew stuff — the behind-the-scenes tinkering with the rules to make something new. I think I’d be willing to give players who willingly split a character the way Cho’gall works in Heroes a pretty substantial XP boost to encourage the cooperation that would be needed.
But man, it’s worth reading just for the stats on Sulfuras and the Aberrant summonings. I’d love to see more D&D for this — working Diablo, StarCraft, and Warcraft characters into 5th Edition rules, giving us some looks at how to adapt classic Overwatch characters, it could be a hoot.

ALTAIR INTERNATIONAL CORP. (ATAO) Jul 2024 Earnings Report
Altair International Corp (ATAO): Investment Report
Altair International Corp (ATAO) is a metals and mining company that explores for lithium, with its flagship project being the Stonewall project in Nevada. Despite its promising sector, the company has struggled to gain traction, with a current stock price of $0.0271 USD and a market capitalization of $669,164 USD. In this report, we will delve into the company's financial performance, growth prospects, and recent news to provide a comprehensive analysis of ATAO's investment potential.
- Current price: $0.0271 USD
- 52-week high: $0.165 USD
- 52-week low: $0.02 USD
- Market Cap: $669,164 USD
- P/E Ratio: N/A
- Earnings per Share: -$0.06
- 50-day average: $0.05192
- 200-day average: $0.06244
- Analyst Recommendations: None
Altair International Corp's financial performance has been challenging, with a negative EPS of -$0.06 and a market capitalization of less than $1 million. The company's cash position is also concerning, with total cash of only $4,298 and a negative free cash flow of -$187,096. However, it is essential to note that the company operates in the metals and mining sector, which can be highly volatile and influenced by macroeconomic factors.
Despite the current challenges, Altair International Corp's lithium exploration project in Nevada presents an opportunity for growth. The demand for lithium is increasing due to the growing adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies. However, the company needs to demonstrate significant progress in its operations and improve its financial performance to attract investors.
News and Updates
Recent news articles highlight the company's lack of analyst coverage, which may contribute to its low stock price. However, the sector in which the company operates is gaining attention, with articles discussing mechatronics and robotics, which could have implications for the demand of metals and minerals.
Upgrades and Downgrades
There have been no recent upgrades or downgrades from prominent firms, which may be due to the company's small market capitalization and lack of analyst coverage.
In conclusion, Altair International Corp's investment potential is challenging, given its current financial performance and lack of analyst coverage. However, the company's lithium exploration project presents an opportunity for growth, particularly in a sector that is gaining attention. Investors should closely monitor the company's progress and financial performance before making an investment decision.

A message from CharityWatch Executive Director, Laurie
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that suffering exists
on a spectrum. However each of us measures success and stability in our lives —
financial wealth, good health, a strong support system of family and friends, mobility,
prolific creativity, the freedom that comes from having access to opportunity
and choices — this year we have all been forced to sacrifice and to adapt,
sometimes in uncomfortable and unfamiliar ways. In this sense, suffering has
revealed itself as a great equalizer. None of us has escaped unscathed. There
is a powerful lesson in this.
Many of us are socialized to think about giving in a binary
way. We accept that there are haves and have-nots—those who give and others who
receive. In truth, no one has cornered the market on need or generosity. We are
each simultaneously capable of giving and receiving in different ways in any
given moment. Need is also not a fixed state of being. It’s contextual. As our life
circumstances change, so do our resources. At some points in life we have more
time than money, and in others, more money than time. The constant is that we
always have something of value to contribute to make the world a better place. Reflecting
on those moments when someone helped us through a difficult time, we can choose
to pay it forward by helping a friend or a stranger, by donating to charity, by
volunteering our time, or by lending an attentive ear to a lonely soul in need
of our company.
This year has been tough for everyone. But we can’t make
next year a better one without taking concrete action. And we won’t take action
unless we maintain hope for the future. We may lose hope and fail to act when:
- We become overwhelmed by the infinite needs we observe
around us. Like a deer in headlights, we can become frozen by indecision.
- A problem seems too large or unwieldy relative to our
ability to make an impact. What we have to offer feels equivalent to using a
bucket to pitch water out of a sinking ship.
- We assume that those with more resources have both the means
and the will to address all of society’s unmet needs. If we don’t help, someone
In these uncertain times, it’s understandable that some of
us may feel powerless to change our collective circumstances for the better. This
is why it’s so important to be mindful of how our thoughts shape our words, and
how our words, in turn, shape our actions. Those who think about giving as a collective
practice within a community, rather than as a series of individual
transactions, can feel a stronger sense of connection to our shared humanity.
Remember that no one person can solve all the world’s ills
alone. A foundation or wealthy individual may have the necessary resources to
tackle a large problem at its root cause. In the meantime, those who are cold
still need shelter, those who are hungry still need food, and those who are
lonely still need the gift of our time.
Each of us can proactively reflect on how we are best suited
to help according to our individual resources and abilities. Find your niche
and commit to the practice of giving thoughtfully, generously, and

Wednesday 26th November 2014 Local Time 1230 (GMT-1)
Position 23:00.14N 30:09.63W at 0720 GMT, Nautical Miles covered 798
Life on the ocean waves-
Those on night watch had a lie in, with their teddies. (Cap’n Greg’s little joke!).
This meant a late breakfast, 11.00am today. We were treated to egg, bacon (from our Serano ham) and beans up on deck, running down wind in 20knots of wind and glorious sunshine.
At 0400 hrs we spotted two sailing yachts – our first contact, since leaving Tenerife. One we identified as yacht Alalunga a 97footer, and spoke on the radio, she was sailing for Martinique. The other was further away, we think was Yacht Kayporo.
It seems we don’t have to try and catch fish – we found a flying fish in our galley which had come in through an open hatch, landing in the sink. We also had our first sighting of dolphins (we counted 3) yesterday afternoon, while we were carrying out a sail change.
It looks like it’s going to be similar to yesterday, an easterly wind, but, with sunshine.

I just read an interesting article with the title We’re in a brave, new post open source world. The article goes into the evolution of Open Source movement and the numerous licensing policies. On particularly notable phrase I saw read as follows:
…if you use someone else’s code revision from Stack Overflow, you would have to add a comment in your code that attributes the code to them.
What this means is that, if a developer uses a snippet of code taken from StackOverflow, and fail to add such an attribution, then technically the project might be in breach of StackOverflow license. I am curious how many organisations actually check this.
The whole article is a good read.

Expanding Access to SSI: Getting Your Application Started Online
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: April 21, 2022
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides monthly payments to people who are 65 and older, and to adults and children with disabilities who have low income and few resources. SSI is a critical program for people facing barriers such as veterans, people struggling with homelessness, mental illness, and other challenges.
SSI is also a path to receiving Medicaid, other health insurance, and lifesaving benefits such as nutrition assistance and housing support. Social Security is committed to ensuring that people can get the financial support when they need it. That’s why we’re making it even easier for you to start an SSI application.
You can get started today with the SSI application process.
We recently launched a new online option to request an appointment to file for SSI. The first step is to let us know that you – or someone you know – wants to file for SSI. You can request an appointment for yourself or another adult or child. The earlier we know you want to apply for SSI, the more benefits you may be eligible to receive.
Anyone can make a request online. All you have to do is answer a few questions. It takes less than five minutes. If you are submitting information for someone else, we will also ask for your contact information.
If you – or someone you know – is interested in applying, please visit our website and get started today.
Please share this with your friends and family – and post it on social media.

We recently came across an exciting new website called PicQuery. It has a really awesome and clean design, but it seems familiar—because it has everything that TinEye has! TinEye colours, TinEye copy, exact copy-and-pasted HTML from the TinEye website, and even TinEye’s terms of service!
Any decent high school student plagiarizing their homework will tell you there are TWO key steps to faking an assignment: steal, then modify. PicQuery did a great job on step one, not so much on step two. Let’s take a look!
Notice anything odd in this side-by-side comparison of some TinEye and PicQuery pages?
Striking resemblance wouldn’t you say? But it goes further than just stealing our design. This is what happens when you don’t carefully examine what you’re copy-pasting:
Either TinEye and PicQuery have the same parent company and nobody told us, or someone at PicQuery wasn’t very thorough with their find-and-replace. Ctrl+F can save you a lot of time, but it’s no substitute for proper proofreading.
On the other hand, PicQuery didn’t even bother to use find-and-replace to hide the fact that they copied TinEye’s code directly:
We get it—proofreading can be tricky—but when you just help yourself to another company’s CSS code, perhaps you should make sure it works with your logo? We can all agree that would be an easy win! Here’s what the PicQuery logo looks like when viewing their site on a “retina” display:
Oh but it gets better! When PicQuery replaced our TinEye robot with their own logo, they didn’t change the code to point to their image; they just also named their image frontpage_robot.png! Really guys? Really?
PicQuery also did some “bespoke” copywriting after they set up our site (!) on their servers. Notice the way they distinguish themselves on the homepage:
PicQuery’s search is “ultimate fast.” How can we compete with that! Those shrewd marketers at PicQuery have won this round. And their “Made with 💛 in (the?) United Kingdom” is the icing on top of the proverbial cake!
What about the functionality of PicQuery, like showing image search results? Let’s see how PicQuery’s ability to “find similar images & where your image appears online” looks like:
Well, it looks like PicQuery simply built image search results pages with “borrowed” results from Microsoft Bing, shoehorned into our page designs! This is a winner! Bravo.
Dear PicQuery, we would use your contact form to get in touch and point out the obvious, but since you ripped that design too, perhaps it’ll just forward to our email address. Wouldn’t that be grand!
At TinEye, we love to hear about new search solutions and would never stand in the way of anyone trying to get an awesome solution off the ground—but we suggest that you go back to the drawing board and explore some new options. If you insist in keeping our design, here’s one small suggestion from one of our designers to get you going: change your header h1 a
width to 200px
and that will fix the logo on your homepage.
Good luck, PicQuery! May the wind always be at your back!

AP chemistry is one of the hardest AP classes. Its curriculum is challenging and that is because Chemistry is already a difficult subject and AP chemistry touches on college-level curriculum.
AP chemistry course includes mastering many mathematical skills, memorizing complex principles, etc. All of these are pretty much complex and hard for the student to do by himself/herself. And that is why finding a good online AP chemistry tutor is a must.
An AP Chemistry tutor can help students overcome various challenges that he/she may face during the course. But students need to make sure they find the correct AP chemistry tutor otherwise they may have a tough time.
It is sometimes difficult for students to attend offline classes due to commutation dependency or other problems. Online classes save time and money, that is why online tutors are best these days.
Let’s take a look at the steps for finding an online AP Chemistry tutor:
1. Check the Qualifications
The first and most important thing you gotta do is check the qualification of the teacher before hiring him. The Internet is full of fraudsters who claim to be experts and cheat students off their time and money.
Ensure you don’t fall into any traps because it will have a direct impact on your results. Make sure that teacher is well versed in chemistry and is disciplined. Ask about his/her students and enquire about their scores. Knowing about all this will help you in getting a detailed idea about the tutor.
2. Search for a Good Online Tutoring Platform
Online tutoring platforms can help you find an AP chemistry tutor. You have to simply type out your needs and then sort through the results. There is a huge number of teachers available, and you can choose among them.
Another advantage of choosing online social media platforms is that you will be able to check the reviews of the students. This would help you select a perfect tutor because you will know and understand better which tutor is good and which one is bad.
3. Checkout Photos
Yes! You read that right, personality and looks matter. This is not to say that your teacher should meet certain beauty standards. Rather, it means the tutor should look neat and sharp. He/she must also be disciplined and should be well-mannered.
It would be best to observe how he dresses, how enthusiastic he is about the subject, and how patient he is with people. You should observe if he/she is encouraging or not. AP chemistry is difficult, and it must be taught in a disciplined and patient manner for a student to understand.
4. Trial Sessions
Some tutors offer trial sessions, which is a wonderful facility. It will help you in making a better decision. Make sure you observe if you understand the tutor properly, do they have a demeanor that will encourage your AP chemistry learning. Also check if he is able to solve the equations easily. Make sure to check these all before hiring.
5. Time Management
Make sure the tutor is giving you enough time because AP chemistry is a difficult course, and it requires both time and efforts. Your tutor should be able to provide you with time and schedule your routine properly. An excellent online tutor would do that.
I hope you like our blog and find it relevant to your search. Make sure you choose your tutor correctly, a tutor that will encourage you and set you on the path to success. It is very important because AP chemistry is a pretty difficult course to cover.

It just couldn’t wait. For about five months our drains were not draining properly, our washer would spin out and water would come pouring off our porch like a waterfall leaving drenched wood and a lake of bubbles under the house, any time any amount of water over half a gallon would try to drain, our tub would get backed up with grimy dirt and bits of leach field matter leaving the bathroom so stinky you could hardly walk in their with out gagging! Oh. And then of course it would stay like that for the ages it would take to drain again and leave tons of scum in the tub. 🙁 (the pictures don’t even show how bad it could get) The leach field itself was full and bursting through the ground at the back of house causing a very odorous lake of it’s own and it was all just too much to deal with. We just couldn’t put off doing repairs for any longer!
In addition to the septic issues, some adjustments needed to be made to our solar panels and a missionary new to the area had graciously offered to come out to our village and offer his expertise on the new wiring. Plans were forming for a big day of work…
Just a week prior to our big project day, our parters- the Bealls, had undertaken the massive (and much needed) project of installing a completely new septic tank and leach field at their house. It was a huge job involving pouring the entire tank with cement and Ned had chosen a handful of faithful Tigak guys to help with the huge amount of labor. The guys did a great job with the work and on the last day of Ned’s septic work, Tom decided to ask a few of the same guys if they wouldn’t mind working for one or two more days at our house. They were willing so it was on! Our Sludge & Solar Day!
Bright and early Tom left in our boat to pick up the guy, Aaron, who would be doing the wiring on our solar panels. While he was gone the guys showed up for work and I got them started on prep work while I busily worked to move huge sections of my garden flowers away from where huge holes were going to be dug. It was lame, but it would be worth it! 🙂 I won’t bore you with too many details about all the work but I will let the pictures speak (partially) for themselves.
All the “sludge & solar” work is completed now and we feel so great about it! Our drains are all draining in seconds, the wood on our porch is fully dried for the first time in ages and I can now clean the tub and it will stay clean for longer than a day! Even though these two work days were an interruption into regular studies and schedule, they were worth it for the relief we now feel not having to deal with these problems with our house! Praise the Lord!
Lord willing in July we will be having more very helpful work done on our house issues when Tom’s sister & husband head out our way!

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.” ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 11, spoken by the character Atticus Finch.
Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird with lawyer Atticus Finch as its hero is one of the most inspiring pieces of literature for many in the legal profession today. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the book’s publication last year, the University of Alabama School of Law and the ABA Journal created the annual Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction. Honoring Ms. Lee, a former Alabama Law student, the prize is given for a book-length fictional work that “best exemplifies the role of lawyers in society, and their power to effect change.” Last year’s inaugural prize was given to John Grisham for his book, The Confession.
According to the website, this year’s winning title will be chosen by the 2012 Harper Lee Prize Selection Committee, which includes New York Times bestselling novelist Linda Fairstein, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, New York Times bestselling novelist Lisa Scottoline, NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg, and FOX News political analyst Juan Williams.
Also, a separate public vote will occur. Once entries are selected, the public can participate in the vote via the ABA Journal’s website. The public’s choice will count as one vote for the winner.
The 2012 Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction winner will be announced in August. On September 20, 2012, a ceremony and panel discussion will be hosted by the Selection Committee at the National Press Club in Washington. The event will coincide with the Library of Congress National Book Festival.
Entries will be accepted through April 6, 2012. We will follow-up with a post once this year’s contenders are announced.

A reader of the blog sent me the following interesting comment and question:
You wrote in your blog entry ("China’s growth surprises on the downside"): 'Because China saved during the boom times -- through a fiscal surplus and through reserve accumulation -- it has considerable scope to stimulate its economy if the global slowdown threatens a hard landing in China.’ I'm always intrigued by these references to China's reserves. As I follow the financial press and websites like yours, I never see any explanation of how China would use its forex reserves to help itself (or the help the world recover from the economic crisis). I have seen, however, that China has already invested the bulk of those reserves in U.S. government bonds, leaving it with little scope for any other kinds of action involving these sums. [Recently], news reported that China has surpassed Japan as the largest holder of such bonds. Can you comment?
China’s saving through a fiscal surplus puts it in a good position to directly stimulate its economy through public spending. It has low debt and could stimulate the economy a lot without raising fears of indebtedness and inflation. As implied by your comment, foreign reserves are trickier to use. China cannot spend these directly on its domestic economy without first converting them to Yuan, which would have the kind of large effect on the exchange rate that the country wants to avoid.
There are indirect ways that the reserves can be used, however. As you say, currently the bulk of reserves are in U.S. government bonds. Any large-scale move out of those bonds would be destabilizing. But China is set to continue to accumulate $400 billion-or-so per year in new foreign exchange reserves. China can use some of this flow to help the liquidity needs of other developing countries that need to borrow foreign exchange; it could do this directly or indirectly by augmenting the lending capacity of the IMF or World Bank. It also recently used some of the reserves to recapitalize the Agriculture Development Bank. This capital injection increases that bank’s ability to finance agriculture and rural development in China. The reserves can strengthen the capital base of that or other banks without being converted into Yuan.
Editor's note: Ask questions about China's economy to David Dollar and World Bank senior economist Louis Kuijs in a live online chat on Monday, Dec. 1 at 8 a.m. EST (13:00 GMT/UTC and 9pm in Beijing).

IMF: The MoF is currently not applying standard project selection criteria
Domestically-financed capital projects in the budget are not selected according to standardized selection criteria or formalized selection procedures, and no pipeline of appraised investment projects is maintained. The MoF is currently not applying standard project selection criteria. Projects are selected by spending ministries and agreed with the MoF during budget negotiations, but selection is not undertaken on the basis of standard and consistent selection criteria.
The selection process for projects at municipal level financed by transfers from central government budget through the Regional Development Fund (RDF) is more transparent, with projects assessed against specified criteria. Nonetheless, while the RDF is one of the main sources of infrastructure projects in municipalities, the total amounts of the transfer represent around 20 percent of central government capital expenditures. While project selection procedures and criteria are contained in the new PIM methodology, this has not been implemented yet.
Major externally-financed projects are subject to project appraisal; however, there is not a systematic review by a central agency before it is included in the budget. There is no project pipeline currently, but the new PIM procedures include a stage of appraising projects to go into a list of projects intended for inclusion in the budget.

We hear the word ‘sustainability’ a lot these days. It’s everywhere. In the news, in government memos and policy fact sheets, in NGOs and NPOs’ mission statements.

In this thread I got great advice on which RAID to buy. I ended up getting a Drobo 5D immediately. The second one arrived yesterday. It’ll be the off site backup for the original. I’d like to use the Thunderbolt interface to copy the existing data (7TB) from one to the other. The Drobos support the Thunderbolt ports only in MacOS, not Windows, and thus my problem. The Drobos are NTFS format and MacOS can only read NTFS-formatted drives. Which NTFS driver should I get for Maverick to write to the Drobo?
Before anyone asks, I have no interest in converting the Drobos to whatever format MacOs uses: NTFS has much wider support in the computer world.

After a Federal Court blocked Penguin Random House’s acquisition of Simon and Schuster over antitrust concerns, the 99-year-old publishing company was put back up for sale by Paramount. Now, it’s being sold to the private equity firm KKR for $1.62 billion. The original sale to PRH was for $2.2 billion.
Jon Karp, chief executive of Simon & Schuster, told the New York Times, “I think I speak on behalf of the entire management team when I say we are thrilled with the result. They plan to invest in us and make us even greater than we already are. What more could a publishing company want?”
Under KKR ownership, Simon & Schuster employees will have an ownership stake in S&S. Pete Stavros, a co-head of global private equity at KKR, says this stake gives employees the possibility of a “life-impacting amount of wealth.”
KKR has previously bought RBMedia, an audiobooks company, and sold it at a profit. It is also invested in Overdrive, an ebook and audiobook platform used by libraries.
The private equity firm has had its share of controversy, including saddling Toys R Us with debt that allegedly contributed to its bankruptcy and investing heavily in fossil fuels and pipelines. KKR has also faced accusations of maintaining unacceptable living conditions in residential facilities it owns.

The instant classic that changed the way we saw World War II and an entire generation of Americans, from the beloved journalist whose own iconic career has lasted more than fifty years.
In this magnificent testament to a nation and her people, Tom Brokaw brings to life the extraordinary stories of a generation that gave new meaning to courage, sacrifice, and honor.
From military heroes to community leaders to ordinary citizens, he profiles men and women who served their country with valor, then came home and transformed it: Senator Daniel Inouye, decorated at the front, fighting prejudice at home; Martha Settle Putney, one of the first black women to serve in the newly formed WACs; Charles Van Gorder, a doctor who set up a MASH-like medical facility in the middle of battle, then opened a small clinic in his hometown; Navy pilot and future president George H. W. Bush, assigned to read the mail of the enlisted men under him, who says that in doing so he “learned about life”; and many other laudable Americans.
To this generation that gave so much and asked so little, Brokaw offers eloquent tribute in true stories of everyday heroes in extraordinary times.
Praise for The Greatest Generation
“Moving . . . a tribute to the members of the World War II generation to whom we Americans and the world owe so much.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Full of wonderful, wrenching tales of a generation of heroes. Tom Brokaw reminds us what we are capable of as a people. An inspiring read for those who wish their spirits lifted.”—Colin L. Powell
“Offers welcome inspiration . . . It is impossible to read even a few of these accounts and not be touched by the book’s overarching message: We who followed this generation have lived in the midst of greatness.”—The Washington Times
“Entirely compelling.”—The Wall Street Journal
Very moving stories about many well-known and not so well-known men and women of that great generation.
Great read about greatest generation
Very interesting to learn how the experiences in the war shaped the lives of these men and women forever. For famous and not so famous people it was interesting to read how bravery in the war was the basis for success and bravery in politics, law and business.

THE NO. 1 LADIES’ DETECTIVE AGENCY - Book 13
Fans around the world adore the best-selling No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswana’s premier lady detective. In this charming series, Mma Ramotswe—with help from her loyal associate, Grace Makutsi—navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea.
Precious Ramotswe is haunted by a repeated dream: a vision of a tall, strange man who waits for her beneath an acacia tree. Odd as this is, she’s far too busy to worry about it. The best apprentice at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors is in trouble with the law and stuck with the worst lawyer in Gaborone. Grace Makutsi and Phuti Radiphuti are building the house of their dreams, but their builder is not completely on the up and up. And, most shockingly, Mma Potokwane, defender of Botswana’s weak and downtrodden, has been dismissed from her post as matron at the orphan farm. Can the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency help restore the beloved matron to her rightful position?
As wealthy and powerful influences at the orphan farm become allied against their friend, help arrives from an unexpected visitor: the tall stranger from Mma Ramotswe’s dreams, who turns out to be none other than the estimable Clovis Andersen, author of the No. 1 Ladies’ prized manual, The Principles of Private Detection. Together, Mma Ramotswe, Mma Makutsi, and their teacher-turned-colleague help right this injustice and in the process discover something new about being a good detective.
BONUS MATERIAL: This ebook edition includes an excerpt from Alexander McCall Smith's The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon.
Smith wisely doesn't tamper with his winning recipe for literary comfort food in his 13th excursion to Gaborone, Botswana, in the company of bighearted PI Precious Ramotswe (after 2011's The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party). An unknown tall man appears in a dream to Mma Ramotswe, and before long, one shows up for real, in the person of American Clovis Andersen, author of the bible of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, The Principles of Private Detection. Invited to the country by a woman working on an American project to build school libraries, Anderson ends up assisting his biggest fan in looking into the dirty laundry of a businessman whose plans to make the local orphanage more efficient threaten the role of its matron and its successful operation. As always, the detection is secondary to Smith's continuing exploration of the rhythms and social dynamics of smalltown African life.

I wish I hadn't bought the iPad 2 version. So many repeated pages, paragraphs!!! First book I've downloaded with such glitches. Love the series, beyond disappointed. Will buy from book store.
Wait for the corrected edition
I've read them all and couldn't wait to read this one, even though it's expensive for an ebook. Imagine my disappointment (and yours if you buy it) when I discover it's full of errors. Sentences that aren't finished, and 3 complete pages repeated at the end of a chapter! I have never read such a poorly edited ebook. I'm sure the author is embarrassed, who would want to have their work presented so poorly? The publisher and/or Apple should be ashamed. Wait for the corrected edition.

Kate Middleton attended her second event of the weekend to commemorate Remembrance Day after completing chemotherapy.
The Princess of Wales, 42, joined her husband, Prince William, and her father-in-law, King Charles III, at the Cenotaph war memorial in London on Sunday to honor military members who died in service.
Middleton appeared on the balcony above the Cenotaph war memorial in London to observe the ceremony while standing next to Prince Edward’s wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.
The women watched as Charles and William laid wreaths at the foot of the Cenotaph. At 11 a.m. local time, the monarch also led a national two-minute silence.
Middleton stunned in a black Catherine Walker & Co. coat dress with a velvet bow at the neck. She also wore her traditional three poppies brooch, which serves as a symbol of remembrance, and a silver Queen’s Dragoon Guards brooch, which references her role as the regiment’s Colonel-in-Chief.
Charles’ wife, Queen Camilla, did not attend as she has been battling a chest infection. However, she was represented by her own wreath, which was laid on her behalf by her aide, Major Ollie Plunket, The Rifles.
Middleton also joined her family at Royal Albert Hall for the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday.
This weekend marked Middleton’s first appearance at major ceremonial events since announcing she was done with cancer treatments in September.
The royal first announced her diagnosis in March and spent six months seeking treatment in private.
Despite attending Trooping the Colour in June and Wimbledon in July, she has yet to fully jump back into work.
However, royal author Robert Jobson revealed earlier this month that she “is doing very well” and slowly getting back into the swing of things.
Jobson said Middleton is taking a “less is more” approach as she starts to “carry out engagements” and “work behind the scenes.”
“Rather than travel all over the country all the time, like she used to, I think she will concentrate on more impactful events,” he told Hello!.
“If she has her way, she will come back in stages and do things that are important to her: because she doesn’t want to get ill again but also, I’m told, because she has a different perspective now,” he added.
Although she plans to attend more public events, her “focus will be on her family,” the “William & Kate” author claimed.
Middleton’s family — specifically her husband — has been a pillar of support throughout her cancer journey.
During a recent visit to Cape Town, South Africa, William admitted the last year has been extremely difficult for their family.
“It’s been dreadful,” he said, adding that it’s been the “hardest year in my life,” according to People.
While the Prince of Wales said he’s “so proud” of his wife and his father for “handling the things that they have done,” he said “from a personal family point of view… it’s been brutal.”

Obviously. You just have to think it through.
At first, I was a bit taken aback when I saw this:
— Maayan Schechter 🔥 (@MaayanSchechter) April 8, 2021
All I could think at first was, “Huh. I didn’t realize that was in any way the governor’s responsibility.”
In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s not. Nor should it be. Unless I’m looking at the map wrong. I mean, I’m about as sure as I can be that South Carolina doesn’t even come close to bordering on Mexico, so… how does it get to be a state issue? Well, it doesn’t. It isn’t.
Of course, this brings up a festering question: What in the world are South Carolina National Guard troops doing down there, anyway? Were they federalized for this purpose? I vaguely remember something like this happening in the course of one of the many insane nightmares of the past four years, but I guess I had blocked it out. It’s rather startling, in an unpleasant way, to be told they’re still there…
But then I got to thinking further about it, and it suddenly hit me that this was very good news!
Think about it: If Henry’s got time to do this, taking a vacation from his duties and all, it means everything that is actually his job has been taken care of. South Carolina is now perfect. COVID is gone. Everyone has healthcare coverage. Our schools are the best in the country. Racism, which seemed to be making a big comeback, is flat gone. Malfunction Junction? Fixed, without running an Interstate through my front yard.
And Yankees have stopped coming down and overcrowding all our beaches. This must be. Otherwise, everybody in South Carolina would be rising up and saying, “Henry! What the hell are you doing down there? Get back here and fix this mess!”
Awesome! As y’all know, I was for the other guy in 2018. But how was I to know that Henry would SC perfect, in less than three years? I’m just blown away.
And remember, you read the good news here first…

Three Architecture and Planning students from UWE carried out a five week ‘walkability’ survey in BS3 for their finals in 2018. The survey was linked to Action Greater Bedminster’s aspiration to make BS3 a more Age Friendly Neighbourhood. The community contact was Ben Barker.
The report had two main themes.
1. It examines routes to six destinations, looking in detail at walking conditions from up to 250 metres from each destination. ‘Walking’ in this context included taking into account all pavement users such as buggy pushers, mobility scooters and wheelchair users. The destinations were the Tobacco Factory on North Street, the Chessel Community Centre, Dame Emily Park, Gaywood House GP Surgery, Bedminster Library and Bedminster Station. Some parts of the routes were fit for purpose, but not surprisingly, the students observed that all footways included overgrown hedges, parked cars, abandoned recycling bins and other obstructions. They also noted some broken pavements and considered the quality or lack of dropped kerbs, road crossings etc. Positive features such as benches and planting were also listed. It is notable that many of the obstacles are, or ought to be, easy to remove and at very low cost. However, the political will to do this seems to be absent.
2. The students were asked to look at ways of measuring walkability. They used part of the Healthy Street Check List which has been developed by Transport for London. This lists features of the street (volume of traffic, width of pavement, street clutter, lighting etc) and marks them as good, moderate or poor. The intent was to provide a simple tool which the community could use to measure walkability to any destination. This might be a first step to improvements undertaken either by the community directly or by putting pressure on public agencies.
Questions and comments arising from the report should be sent to .

James Mason plead not guilty to the murder of his girlfriend Alexis Parkes. He plead guilty to arson after deliberately setting Ms Parkes vehicle on fire. Ms Parkes died in February 2020 after suffering organ failure several days after being rescued from her burning house in Chermside.
The Court heard evidence of heated disagreements between the couple which led to Mr Mason setting Ms Parkes car on fire. The car was located under the house, and this was where it was located when it was set on fire. The blaze spread from the vehicle to the house where Ms Parkes was locked inside.
Mr Mason used fuel from the lawn mower and a tea candle to deliberately set the car on fire before walking away. There was evidence which showed that Mr Mason had removed his items from the residence before setting the car on fire.
Mr Mason made no attempts to save Ms Parkes, however when interviewed by Police he tried to change his story to say that he did attempt to save her.
This was proven to be inconsistent with the evidence which was provided by Ms Parkes neighbours who were present and made attempts to try to save her. Not one of them saw Mr Mason or his alleged efforts to save her like he claimed.
After a three day trial in the Brisbane Supreme Court, the jury returned a unanimous verdict of guilty in less than a day. Mr Mason was sentenced to life imprisonment following the verdict. He must serve at least twenty (20) years of his sentence in prison before he is eligible to apply for parole.
At the sentence Justice Jackson remarked that he accepted that Mr Mason had not intentionally kill Ms Parkes however he lit the fire to vehicle out of spite and would have been aware of the extreme risks of his actions and yet he proceeded with setting the fire.

Is Amazon Pay the Right Payment Option for Your Business in 2022?
Amazon Pay, formerly Amazon Local Register, is an easy-to-use payment option that allows customers to pay using their Amazon accounts. But how does it work? What are the benefits and drawbacks? Are there better options out there? This review of Amazon Pay will help you understand how it can benefit your business in 2022 and beyond.
What is Amazon Pay?
Amazon pay is a payment processing service that was introduced by Amazon. Although it’s not yet available to everyone, it has the potential to be a major competitor to PayPal and other established online payment providers.
Why does Amazon Pay matter for your business today?
The marketplace is more competitive than ever, and with all of the new business models being introduced, you need to be able to innovate with your payments. In fact, there are plenty of companies that are exclusively using Amazon Pay to accept online payments because it offers a lot of benefits. For example, because it’s linked to your Amazon account, you can charge customers’ credit cards without them having to enter any payment information each time they purchase something from your business.
What benefits does using Amazon Pay bring today, versus other payment options
When you use Amazon Pay, you can offer your customers an easy and secure way to purchase items from your website. Plus, by using this payment option, you’ll be able to process transactions with a lower transaction fee than other options.
What are the technical requirements to integrate with Amazon Pay, and who should handle this integration?
To integrate with Amazon Checkout, you need to create a Seller account and complete an integration process. The integration typically requires a one-time setup fee as well as a monthly subscription fee based on your volume of transactions.
If you’re able to satisfy these requirements, then it’s worth looking into this service. However, if you don’t meet these criteria, then this service may not be right for your business.
How can you get started with Amazon pay today, without waiting until 2022.
To get started with Amazon pay today, you will need to sign up as an authorized merchant. The process is a little more involved than signing up as a regular seller. You will have to provide your company’s annual revenue and banking information. As an authorized merchant, you are able to offer your products on other platforms that are not owned by Amazon, including online marketplaces like eBay and Etsy. With this option, there is no monthly fee or per-transaction fee associated with any of these transactions.
Conclusion – Should You Get Started With Amazon Pay Today, Or Wait Until 2022?
The answer to this question will depend on your business, your clients, and your goals. If you are a small business with a limited customer base, then it may be worth waiting until 2022 when more details about Amazon Pay become available. On the other hand, if you are an established company with many customers or clients that use Amazon Pay, then you may want to start taking advantage of these services now while they are still free.
