We all understand that minors need an adult appointed in their life to be responsible for them and their wellbeing. In most cases, these people will be their natural-born parents. In some cases, birth parents can no longer be responsible for their children. These reasons can include but are not limited to severe illness, disabilities, incarceration, and even death. When these situations arise, minor children can be adopted, or Guardianship can be assigned through the family court system. To be considered a guardian, a person typically needs to be over the age of 18 and is determined competent to hold down a job to provide essential care for the minor children.
Guardianship for Disabled Adults or the Elderly
It should come as no surprise that just because a person reaches the age of adulthood, they are not automatically equipped to care for themselves. When a person needs protection provided by a guardian, they are sometimes referred to as an award. Award of the state is also referred to as a protected person. Local courts will work to find a suitable guardian, usually starting with immediate family members and those who seek to become a guardian over another. Remember that legal Guardianship is focused on the wellbeing and vulnerabilities of the protected person. This means that guardians assume many responsibilities as they are intended to take care of someone who cannot adequately care for themselves.
When legal adult guardianship is pursued, a Petition to Appoint a Guardian must be filed in the respondent’s county. Common situations in which an adult needs Guardianship include when a person has mental disabilities, extreme illness, or suffers from mental or financial limitations due to old age. Family law attorneys help caregivers legally and effectively obtain Guardianship.
This includes when a person has Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, a stroke, or some other type of debilitating brain injury. A Power of Attorney allows caregivers certain legal powers to make financial and healthcare-related decisions. However, Guardianship must also be appointed in some cases and states if the POA is not durable.
Seek Legal Representation
Some cases may be more difficult than others when it comes to legal Guardianship. This can include but is not limited to situations where awards must be determined incompetent through expert findings and opinions. In other cases, more than one person may be seeking Guardianship over another. The court will try to find the most capable person and grant them guardianship rights.
And in other cases still, we have seen cases where one person is granted Guardianship over a person’s physical and medical wellbeing. At the same time, another person is granted Guardianship over the ward’s financial management. If you seek Guardianship in Utah, we invite you to speak more to the legal professionals at Burton Family Attorneys today.

How to buy the cheapest tickets?
The cheapest ticket from Quincy to Chicago is a regular seat, one-way trip, when booked in advance. Buying on the day of travel is usually more expensive and may include additional costs that can vary depending on the time of day and bus class.
Book in advance
- Most companies sell bus and train tickets about three to six months in advance. If you already have your travel date set, search as early as possible to save money.
Flexible travel times
- Many companies increase ticket prices during "peak hours" (usually between 06:00 - 10:00 and 15:00 - 19:00 on weekdays). If possible, choose to travel outside of these hours to find cheaper tickets and save money.
- On some of the busiest routes, you may also have the option of taking a slower or connecting transportation. It may take a little longer, but if you have a bit more time available, you may find a cheaper ticket. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Butler Little Theatre show evokes emotions
Although Butler Little Theatre’s upcoming production is set about 100 years in the past, the show’s director said it will likely resonate with anyone who has found community in the midst of a larger struggle.
“These Shining Lives” tackles the story of four of the women who have come to be known as the Radium Girls — workers of a watch factory in Illinois who were poisoned by the materials they used on the job. The play was written in 2010 by playwright Melanie Marnich, and the BLT production opens Friday, Nov. 15, and has showings until Nov. 23.
Sarah Altomari, director of “These Shining Lives,” said the show presents a range of situations and emotions, which stem from the ensemble cast’s experiences throughout the 1920s, in the wake of a changing culture. As the title implies, the show tackles more than just the women’s diagnoses, but also their reactions to having jobs, making money for their families and navigating a fight for workplace safety.
“An underlying theme was these women finding independence and finding camaraderie in ways they never had before,” Altomari said. “The juxtaposition of that freedom with the degradation of their bodies, it's really stark.”
The show focuses on four main characters led by Deanna Sparrow, who portrays protagonist Catherine Donohue. Rounding out the four cast members are Kira Lavrich, Emily Sutton and Kyrie Lokhaiser.
Sparrow said that while the play tackles heavy and tragic scenarios, viewers might find hope in the fight that the characters embark on, because they carried on their lives even after learning that their bodies would decay from the radiation poisoning. The tears shed during the play will come from several emotions, she said.
“There's a good chance they might shed some tears,” Sparrow said, “but they could also leave feeling emboldened to do what needs to be done in the face of corruption and misdeeds.”
Altomari, too, said the emotions of the show are vast, as implied by the play’s title. The cast has been able to encompass everything the characters would have been feeling, which will leave people talking once the curtain falls, Altomari said.
“The point of the show isn't to feel bad about what happened, but to feel grateful for what happened,” Altomari said. “They chose to fight and spent the last few years of their lives in legal battles to make sure that the laws were changed in Illinois to protect workers.
“Even the title, ‘These Shining Lives,’ it's not defining them by the fact that they were poisoned, it's defining them by the way they lived their lives.”
“These Shining Lives” runs from Nov. 15 to 23. Curtain is at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2:30 p.m. Sundays, and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The show is 90 minutes with no intermission.

"It is easy to leave a piece of your heart in Croatia. Travelling through Croatia is to be immersed in the beauty and wildness of Croatia's ancient olive groves and vineyards and a culture that asks you to live life a little slower."
—Tom Abraham, EXPERIENCE DESIGNER
Experience the Dalmatian Coast
Travelling through Croatia is a passage to a time when things were simpler and slower. A time when laundry billowed in gentle summer breezes, children played within time-worn walled cities and scampered across polished stone alleyways. From the south coast to the north coast, visit primeval fortresses, pastel-coloured seaside villages and sparkling bays. Feast on freshly caught fish, prsut, home-cured ham, wild olives and garden-plucked juicy tomatoes. Try the seriously good local wines, swim in the crystal clear Adriatic, and chat with the villagers over rich coffee.
Discover the possibilities:
Croatia by Sea
Experience the Dalmatian Coast the only way possible: by sea. Stretched across the Adriatic, Croatia boasts thousands of rugged limestone islands and miles of pebbled coastline. Hop off your small luxury yacht and pedal the quaint countryside, poke around breathtaking fortresses surrounded by coves and sample the island’s tastiest wines in the private home of the winemaker. Explore the red-roofed, stunning Dubrovnik at your own pace. Later: cool your jets in the crystal-clear Adriatic and soak up a sunset from the back deck on fairy-tale Hvar.
Croatia by Bike
Spin through the fragrant lavender landscapes of Hvar. Ride through the hills overlooking the town, amidst the ancient stone walls, white sand beaches, and sprawling vineyards that produce some of Croatia's best wines. Ride along a spectacular ridge with views that stretch to the north and south of the Adriatic. Descend a winding hill to a former Greek colony and sip fresh coffee at any seaside café. Watch the endless parade of boats with the fishers working tirelessly to untangle their nets.
Croatian Food & Wine
Outside of Dubrovnik, the Peljesac Peninsula boasts some of the best wines in Croatia and indeed, the most dramatic vine real estate in the world. With rows and rows of grapes rising straight from the shoreline and up the craggy hillside of the finger-like Peninsula, wineries dot the area and make for the perfect pit stops during your walks. If oysters are your taste, we'll whisk you away to the village of Ston to spend time with a local fisher and learn how they harvest these delicacies. Slurp them fresh from the sea, paired with a crisp white, from one of the neighbouring wineries.
Croatia & Montenegro Multi-Active
Journey through the emerald islands, private beaches and medieval cities of the Dalmatian Archipelago. Through your journey, along the coast, detour to the interior of the Balkan Peninsula - the melting pot of Europe - high in the mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Visit the Balkan countryside, explore its fortresses, rocky shorelines and mountains, known for its remarkable flora and fauna

Over a two-and-a-half-decade journey with Lowe Lintas, Ali played an instrumental role in building strong business relationships with brands, getting them to produce award-winning, effective campaigns.

Ali held a portfolio of key clients such as Maruti Suzuki, Havells, LG Electronics, Dabur, Vistara, OLX, Honda Cars, Hero Motors, Greenply to name a few. He had interesting stints in the mobile category i.e. Micromax, Huawei, Oppo, Gionee and Vivo. Ali moved to Mullen Lintas as one of the founding members and the leadership team in 2015.
Misra said, “We are happy to bring Amjad on board and confident that his understanding of a brand will help strengthen Slow and the associated brands.

The creative company is one of the manifestations of this idea, there are many aspects to it that will allow you to experience an enriching point of view. Brands need to think differently today and Slow is very well placed to serve them with end-to-end solutions with Neelesh Misra at the heart of it. In a world which changed overnight, Slow has an opportunity to align and navigate with a unique creative worldview,” said Ali. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Lori Christina Armstrong was charged with a misdemeanor count of falsely reporting a crime to officers. Last month, Armstrong claimed that she had been kidnapped from a bus stop in Santa Ana after the suspects put a rag on her face that made her unconscious. She said that she kept waking up and blacking out in an apartment and at one point thought she had been raped. She claimed that later that day the men put her in the car and dumped her in Anaheim. She went to the police station and reported the crime. During follow up interviews she admitted to officers that she had made up the story. The motive behind the lie is unknown.
Lying to officers is a crime, whether it be about your name, where you live, what you are doing or about a crime. The problem with falsely reporting a crime is that police put a lot of their time and effort into finding the alleged suspects of the “crime.” They also may arrest people that have not committed any crime.
The motive behind lying varies on the person. Sometimes people do not say their true name because they have a past that they do not want officers to know about. Others may make up stories to the police in order to cover up their own misdeeds. I have come across a few people that have lied about being raped or kidnapped to cover up an affair. If they claim they have been raped or kidnapped instead of being unfaithful, their husband or boyfriend will likely not leave them. There are many other reasons why people lie to officers, but they almost always get caught. Do not lie to police officers.

About a year ago, we posted up a great example of converting a bike child trailer into a bike cargo trailer. Basically, the trailer was stripped down to its bare essentials and rebuilt for carrying gear and goods. Harry was kind enough to pass along these photos of the finished product all loaded up for a camping trip. With a little bit of ingenuity, it doesn’t cost to much to have a whole lot of fun with a bike trailer.
In Harry’s words:
Happy ending to my trailer story. You guys featured the beginning of my trailer rebuild/rehab, but I’m including 2 photos of the beginning. I finally got to take the trailer camping for 4 days, it performed perfectly. In the end, I dispensed with the fabric around the frame, opting instead to just use it as a cargo trailer. With 10 bungee cords, my load was secure. And I had plenty of huge ziploc bags in case of rain.
Total cost: $75

After surviving 19 years in a Chinese prison camp – part of the Laogai system – Harry Wu stressed that he did not want to be thought of as a hero. Instead, he made it clear that the continued human rights violations in China are not only devastating to people’s physical will, but also to their psychological well-being.
“No hero can survive in the Chinese Laogai system,” Wu said. “I was an animal because if you think about other people, you think about your own dignity.”
The world-renowned human rights activist informed the UR community of human rights violations in China and why he continues to fight for them. “If I turn my back on them, I betray them. I betray myself,” Wu said. Although facing imprisonment, Wu has returned to China several times after his initial 1979 release from the Chinese prison system to gather information for the international human rights community.
Wu stressed that this is an important time for China, especially in terms of human rights. “China, today, is at the crossroads of history,” Wu said. “Over the last two decades, a lot of things have changed. In the human rights area, it is true there are improvements.”
However, Wu also warned that the Chinese government still controls every aspect of life, from religious worship to jobs to reproduction. “Until today we don’t know how many labor camps there are in China. Where are they?”
His personal story began with statements made at a class meeting at his university. He made statements against the invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union and soon found himself labeled as a counter-revolutionary. Although Wu tried to profess his innocence, he found himself being ridiculed by everyone.
“Everyone – your girlfriend, your mother, father, your brother, sister – all stand against you with the government and denounce you,” Wu said. He was then sentenced to 19 years in the prison system where, he explained, the goal was not only forced labor, but also to brainwash people. “One day you have [a] new brain and maybe you can live in the socialist system – as a newborn [person].”
Even after his release, he felt as if he was trapped living in communist China. “I left a small cage, but was still in a big cage,” Wu said. Wu escaped his entrapment, by moving to Berkley, Calif. He spoke of his work in a doughnut shop and of his belief in the United States. “I believe in this country [that] if I work hard I will have a good life because I was free,” Wu said.
Wu made a new life for himself in the United States, but went back to China in the ’80s and ’90s to gather footage of the conditions in the Laogai system.
During his 1995 trip, he was captured by the Chinese government and sentenced to 15 more years in the prison camps. After much international pressure he was released, due to his status as a U.S. citizen.
“Today, I stand in front of you, according to the Chinese government, as a criminal,” Wu said. “They want[ed] to remove 34 years from a human’s life. Why? What for? Am I in the Mafia? A murderer? A drug trafficker? A terrorist?”

Tools and machinery to clear vegetation
You can clear your land manually with hand tools or by using heavy machinery. What you use depends on many things, including your land and vegetation cover.
There are several methods to prepare your land for planting by flattening or chopping down standing vegetation.
Manual clearing is best suited to smaller blocks of land. It is labour intensive and uses hand tools. It can include scrub cutting or line cutting to create rows to plant your seedlings into. It's usually done by groups of workers using slashers or other hand tools.
Motor manual land clearing
The most common motorised manual land clearing involves using tools like brush cutters or chainsaws.
- Brush cutters are best suited for use on light and medium density vegetation cover.
- Chainsaws are best suited for use on larger and woody vegetation cover.
Vegetation can be flattened by crushing it with the blade of a tractor or log skidder. The machine moves across the site with the blade above the ground. If heavy machinery is used on a site, be aware that this may compact soil and remove topsoil if not done with care.
Roller crushing (gravity or towed)
Roller crushing can be used on both standing vegetation and on cutover sites (land that has already been cleared of trees). It's sometimes used as preparation for burning. Roller crushers are either towed or connected by winch to a bulldozer. They can be used on flat to rolling terrain (towed) or by using gravity on steeper hill slopes.
Managing slash before replanting on ex-forestry sites
Slash is logging debris left in the forest after harvesting trees. Slash management to remove or redistribute slash can be done by bulldozer or excavator. It involves wind rowing, mulching, or line blading and raking. Consider on-site processing of debris that can also put organic matter back into the soil. There are specialist operators that provide this service.
Windrowing clears most of the heavy slash from the planting area and leaves it in piled rows using bulldozers and excavators. This makes it easier to access the land for planting new seedlings and ensures they are planted into soil. Leaving some debris on site may also help to deter deer from entering the planting area.
Controlled burning may be used on land that has excessive slash or dead, standing vegetation. This method is less favoured as it causes the loss of organic matter from the soil surface and has the potential to accidently burn surrounding areas. Our page on burning has more information.
Mulchers attached to excavators or tractors break the slash into a coarse chip-like mulch. Mulch left on the soil surface can control weed growth and is an alternative to chemical spraying.
Line blading and line raking
Line blading and raking are similar processes. They clear lines through sites covered in heavy slash or scrub. Bulldozers and excavators are used for line raking, while only bulldozers are used for line blading.
Soil cultivation and mounding
Soil cultivation may be needed to loosen compacted soils, improve tree stability, reduce frost risk and improve drainage. It can be done by bulldozer, excavator or tractor. It involves continuous ripping-mounding, spot ripping-mounding (or spot mounding) or v-blading.
Ripping-mounding is used to improve soils where soil density or drainage may limit early tree growth. Bulldozers are used for ripping-mounding operations and work best on clear sites.
Spot ripping-mounding and mounding
Spot ripping-mounding and spot mounding are similar operations and use cultivation tools mounted on an excavator. They cultivate the immediate area around the tree and raise it off the ground to protect it from frost.
V-blading uses bulldozers to create high continuous mounds of cultivated soil. It's used to improve drainage on swampy sites or those prone to severe frost. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Advances in cancer detection and treatment have resulted in a steady increase in the number of people surviving cancer in the UK. By 2040, more than five million people may be living with acute, chronic or late-appearing consequences of cancer and its treatments. There is a high prevalence of unmet rehabilitation needs in the cancer population, yet many of these side effects, e.g. pain, fatigue, limited range of movement, lymphoedema and peripheral neuropathy, can be effectively treated with physiotherapy. The development of skilled rehabilitation physiotherapists in private practice is essential for providing high-quality cancer rehabilitation.
Professor Campbell was invited to write an article for InTouch, the magazine for members of Physio First. Physio First is a specialist professional network, representing self-employed physiotherapists working in the independent sector.

Of all the things you can do to maintain a healthy mouth, flossing has got to be the least expensive! But many patients don’t take the time to floss. And if you do, you might not be doing it correctly! Welcome to Flossing 101…
Why should you floss?
Your toothbrush isn’t enough to brush away the plaque that can build up between teeth and at the gumline. A complete dental routine includes both brushing and flossing.
How often should you floss?
Once a day is ideal. Believe it or not, flossing more often (or with more rigor) can damage your gums. The only exception to once-a-day flossing is if you need to remove pieces of stringy or sticky foods that get stuck after eating. Don’t leave those in there too long.
Should you floss before or after brushing?
Either one is fine!
How Should You Floss?
Pull out about 18 inches of floss (any brand is fine). Wind the floss tightly around your index or middle fingers on both hands so that the floss between your hands is taut. Slide the floss between each set of teeth that touch, as well as where your last molar meets your gums. Slide the floss up and down the teeth, following the natural curve of each tooth in a “C” shape. Imagine the floss giving each tooth a little hug! Floss between teeth and where your teeth meet your gums. Use a new clean section of floss for each set of teeth.
For a helpful infographic, use this one from the American Dental Association. You can also ask your hygienist to show you how to floss at your next visit.
If arthritis in your hands or another condition prevents you from flossing adequately, consider a dental pick, oral irrigator, or electric flosser. Give us a call at (281) 298-2205 or ask about options at your next visit! You can schedule an appointment by clicking here. We will help find a solution for you! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As Gen Z (those born between 1997 and 2005) and millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) continue to age into the workforce and begin to inherit generational wealth, their buying power is substantially increasing. This poses a window of opportunity to attract the loyalty of these consumers and count them as customers for years to come.
As new generations are seeking to purchase insurance coverage, the industry needs to re-evaluate the way it sells and caters to younger consumers, writes David Leskovar, vice president of partnership development at Bindable. In this article, he unpacks a research report from Bindable that explores the ways millennial and Gen Z consumers are thinking about insurance and how insurers can change their strategy to attract and retain younger clients. He explains that as the insurance industry is constantly changing, one thing is certain: Insurers will need to learn to embrace the unpredictable.Nasdaq reported that combined, these two generations account for 43 percent of the U.S. population. To capitalize on this, insurers must be re-evaluating their go-to-market strategies and asking themselves how they can best appeal to younger generations.
As one can imagine, the insurance needs of millennials and Gen Z are different from those of any generation that has come before them. The problems that concern them and what motivates them to buy are shifting the standards for engagement between insurers and individuals. Plus, this group has virtually always known a technology-driven world with instant connection and gratification. Providers must rethink how they interact with, attract and retain these new generations of customers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The number of knee replacement surgeries is growing steadily each year. Tomorrow's implants will be capable of giving doctors a wealth of information. The FollowKnee implant will be custom-manufactured from each patient's MRIs using 3D printing and will be implanted by surgeons assisted by a virtual-reality system. Most importantly, the implant will be packed with temperature and pH sensors to detect any infections early on, strain gauges to alert doctors to mechanical issues, and motion sensors to help with post-operative rehabilitation.
The sensors will be developed by Leti, a CEA Tech institute, in partnership with Clinatec and several CEA research teams. The sensors and associated electronics will have to be made much, much smaller before they can be integrated into the implant during the 3D printing process, which is under development. And, of course, the sensors must not shorten the implant's lifespan. The sensors on the surface of the implant (to detect infection) will be designed to withstand exposure to the extracellular environment. A specially-developed surface treatment and coating will keep cells from colonizing the sensors, for instance. Last, but not least, the implant will have communicating capabilities and will be remotely powered by antennas designed not to be disturbed by metal or water in the environment.
CEA is a French government-funded technological research organisation in four main areas: low-carbon energies, defense and security, information technologies and health technologies. A prominent player in the European Research Area, it is involved in setting up collaborative projects with many partners around the world. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This article was originally published in The Notebook. In August 2020, The Notebook became Chalkbeat Philadelphia.
In the United States, it’s estimated that more than 40 million borrowers carry over $1.4 trillion in loans. The median amount owed is about $14,000.
In Philadelphia, where 26 percent of the population lives under the poverty line, the District graduated close to 70 percent of its students in 2017, with more than 60 percent going to college in the fall.
Many school faculty and programs help steer students toward college, but how many prepare them for the debt that is awaiting most of them?
The Philadelphia Education Fund reports that financial literacy is embedded in its programs that prepare students for college, addressing tuition and fees and assisting with financial aid forms.
One of them is the College Access Program, which is available for students at John Bartram, Furness, Roxborough, Olney Charter, and Kensington Creative & Performing Arts High Schools. The program guides students through the college application process and addresses financial literacy along the way. Among the topics are college savings, the financial aid process, and the additional fees and expenses of college.
Dolores Adriaanse, PEF division manager for postsecondary opportunity, said that most of the students they serve are first-generation college students, who, according to a report by the Institute for College Access and Success, are more likely to default on loans than their non-first generation peers. This can have a severe impact on financial stability.
“We speak to them early on,” she said. “There are going to be fees. Even if you receive a scholarship, you have to pay for books. You have to pay for transportation. We get into the nitty-gritty of all of that.”
She said that although the freshman year of high school isn’t too late, parents should introduce the idea of college and the financial reality as early as possible.
While students in the College Access Program receive guidance about college finances, most students have to fend for themselves.
Sakera Taylor graduated from Martin Luther King High School in 2018 and is attending Shippensburg University in the fall to study forensic science.
She said that her major was the main driver of her decision, but money did come into play. Of all the schools where she was accepted, Shippensburg offered the most scholarship money. The rest will be paid for by a college fund that her parent set up for her when she was younger.
Taylor said that she never considered a loan and that she is adamant about avoiding them.
“It goes on for years until you pay it all back,” she said. “I never thought about taking out a loan … because as soon as you graduate, they’re sending you bill after bill every month. I don’t want to go through that.”
Sabrina Dormer, a 2017 graduate of Central High School, is a student at Arcadia University. She, too, is receiving a sizable scholarship from her university, covering about half of her tuition. This is the main reason that she chose the school.
“That was my whole concern, basically, how much it cost,” Dormer said. ”Arcadia definitely wasn’t my top choice in schools, but I didn’t really have an option.”
The rest of her tuition and expenses, she said, will be mostly be covered by loans that both she and her father have taken out. Also, she said, she plans to use money that she has been saving since freshman year from working part-time, and she is investigating student loan forgiveness for teachers.
Dormer said school counselors and teachers didn’t offer much help when she had to make her college acceptance decision. In a school with more than 2,000 students, she said, teachers and counselors may be too occupied to offer in-depth guidance on post-secondary education.
“Teachers and counselors are already juggling so many other responsibilities that it’s hard for them to even be able to give advice,” said Dormer.
For most students, student loans are inevitable. Adriaanse of Philadelphia Education Fund herself is set to pay off her student loans from 2000. Despite paying down student debt for almost 20 years, Adriaanse said that a college education is a worthwhile pursuit.
“Most of us are going to have loans,” she said. “And most of us are going to have that debt. However, it’s an investment in your future.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Markets continued their winning ways on Friday and for the week as well. Benchmarks do what they do best, confounding the most, and the Nasdaq led the way with a 3.3% weekly gain. That comes following a very profound move higher of 5.3% the week prior. The tech rich index has now climbed more than 500 handle from the intraday lows on 10/13, in just 13 sessions. Friday saw a CLOSE above the round 4600 level which was stubborn resistance throughout the first 3 weeks of September. The Nasdaq which very briefly saw a dip into negative territory for 2014 amid the recent selloff is now higher by 11.9% YTD. The S&P 500 closed back above the very round 2000 figure on Friday and volume was energetic. It maintains it bullish form of finishing well into the highs of its daily range. Their is an old saying that bull markets never give you the chance to get in, meaning pullbacks many look for never materialize, and this current move is one of the best examples in recent memory. Bears can still make their case that defensive groups are still dominating, but their is a healthy bunch amongst the leaders as well including healthcare, transports and semiconductors. Even beaten up groups which plunged earlier in the year are beginning to make their presence felt. The software sector is no longer acting impotent, pun intended. Below is the chart of EPAM and how it appeared in our Wednesday 9/17 Game Plan. The firm which celebrated in second birthday earlier this summer, is up 8 of the last 9 weeks, with 5 of the up weeks gaining more than 3%. It has since gained more than 20% from the initial move above it 50 day SMA.

Return of Made in Chesterfield to inspire the next generation of manufacturers and engineers
A campaign which aims to close skills gaps in Chesterfield by providing young people with tours of leading manufacturing, engineering and construction businesses is returning for the tenth time.
Made in Chesterfield has already introduced more than 3,600 young people to the prospect of a career in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) sectors, with more set to gain valuable insights this November.
The campaign, coordinated by Destination Chesterfield and Direct Education Business Partnership and sponsored by Chesterfield College, was officially launched at a celebration event alongside the town’s network of Chesterfield Champions yesterday (Wednesday, 8th November).
Figures published in East Midlands Chamber’s Q3 economic survey revealed that 58% of manufacturers across the region which tried to recruit experienced problems in finding suitable staff. At the same time, Chesterfield Borough Council has forecast that 3750 people are expected to be working in the sector across the borough by 2030.
These figures outline the requirement for a strong, skilled pipeline of talented individuals to secure the future growth of these industries across the town.
During Made in Chesterfield, secondary school pupils will gain access to firms such as Weightron Bilanciai – an international firm that makes industrial weighbridges, Superior Wellness, a hot tub manufacturer listed as one of the UK’s top 50 fastest-growing businesses, and Dalton Roofing, a family-run business operating in Chesterfield’s property and construction sector.
Ivan Fomin, Managing Director at MSE Hiller and Destination Chesterfield Board Member commented: “Made in Chesterfield continues to play an important role in showcasing the wide range of career options available to young people in our town.
“Having hosted several tours at my own business, I’ve seen first-hand how the campaign inspires those thinking about their future options. We know a career in manufacturing can be extremely rewarding, and our sector needs to keep generating a strong pipeline of talented individuals for the future to keep our business and wider economy thriving.”
Julie Richards, Principal and CEO of the Chesterfield College Group commented: “Having sponsored Made in Chesterfield for the past few years I’ve seen the real impact the initiative has. As a stepping stone between student and employer, we are proud to help this campaign inspire young people considering a rewarding career in Chesterfield’s growing manufacturing, engineering and construction industries.
“With work on our new cutting-edge Engineering, Manufacturing and Science Centre due to commence this year and our partnership with the Construction Skills Hub now running in Staveley we’ll continue to equip more local people with the right skills required to build a successful career and help to strengthen the local and regional economy.”
Clare Talati, CEO of Direct Education Business Partnership (DEBP) added: “Made in Chesterfield makes an important contribution to the CEIAG (Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance) offer across the area; providing context for learners of the world of work, showcasing local opportunities, and enabling employers to meet potential future employees”.

The Destination Chesterfield Partnership has received £180,000 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. It follows a successful funding bid by Chesterfield Borough Council, to secure £2.69 million worth of funding for local projects. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Berwyn reminds me of any old neighborhood you’d find in Chicago — mainly because every vernacular housing type lines the streets of this inner-ring suburb, whether it’s a two-flat, Georgian, or the thousands of classic Chicago-style bungalows. With such a rich collection of historic residences, it makes sense that Berwyn has been called the “City of Homes.” Not only are you close to the city itself, but this area is pretty affordable (except for flipped houses and new construction). One of Berwyn’s best preserved Victorians is Design No. 54-B from the architectural firm of George F. Barber & Company, which marketed a variety of residential designs through a series of mail-order catalogs. The home was threatened by a developer in 2016 after the last member of the family that occupied it for 75 years passed away. Fortunately, the old house was saved and now is back on the market, looking as gorgeous as it did in the 19th century.
George F. Barber sold more than 20,000 elevations and floor plans, with his homes built in all 50 U.S. states and around the world. Currently listed for $675,000, this 1890s design would benefit from another owner who appreciates everything this beautiful piece of history has to offer. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom single-family residence is full of original features like textured fish scales and decorative brackets on the exterior, while the inside has wood trim and hardwood floors. Both the new kitchen and bathrooms work well with the home’s overall vintage look. The neighboring side lot to the north is being sold separately.
As I’ve discovered on my social media, the current trend of gutting the character right out of a Chicago-style bungalow is a divisive topic. If you’re like me, then maybe you prefer the vintage charm found inside these trademark homes. With a recent price cut (it’s now listed at just under $500,000), this six-bedroom, three-bathroom bungalow retains its “original look,” but with some freshening up. Six years ago, the house got a new roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and energy-saving windows behind the historic stained glass windows.
This 2,255-square-foot home, built in the 1920s when the Spanish Revival style was at the height of its popularity, is currently listed at $375,000. With that price, you get a nice layout that includes four bedrooms and two full bathrooms — plus all the unique details people associate with an older home. The living room has high ceilings and wood beams, blue-tiled fireplace, hardwood floors and a fabulous sunroom.
Only three owners have called this well-preserved American Foursquare home since it was first built in 1908. Located on one of the largest lots in South Berwyn’s Depot District, the 2,600-square-foot, four-story single-family residence comes with four bedrooms and two bathrooms (although only one is full). I love that welcoming front porch and the shady foliage in the backyard. Just a week after hitting the market, the historic property has already received an offer (though it’s not yet final).
The Georgian is another vernacular residential style commonly seen around the Chicago area. Known for its cubic shape and minimal ornamentation, the design was popular during the Great Depression and World War II when materials were expensive. Currently listed at $329,000, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has been updated with a newer roof, windows, and air conditioning in 2020. Plus, there’s a great deck and patio out back. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Chinese Stories in English
2013 --- Minus 29
The Chinese Communist Party, acting through its proxy the Chinese government, decided late last month to strengthen the “Great Firewall.” (See here.) That’s the system the Party uses to block access to certain information on the internet, thereby protecting the Chinese people from spiritual pollution. As a side effect, the Great Firewall sometimes also prevents me from adding new translations to this website. I have to tunnel through the wall when I want to edit the site.
When the Party has tried to close the tunnel in the past, I’ve always been able restore it in just a few minutes. This time, however, the process was complicated by a cup of coffee which, when spilled onto my laptop, instantaneously transformed the unfortunate machine into a pile of recyclable materials. The additional complication has required the better part of three weeks to resolve, and I’ve been using the unexpected vacation time to find out more about the Great Firewall.
The Party uses various techniques to protect its impressionable subjects from gaining access to disagreeable information. (*See links below for detailed explanations.) Some websites are completely blocked. Others are partially blocked – you can access the website but links to some pages don’t work. Often, even websites or postings that are not objectionable to the Party get blocked, as collateral damage, simply because they use the same technology as websites that the Party doesn’t like.
That’s my situation. My web host uses encryption technology to prevent unauthorized editing of its customers’ sites. Other companies, which help people tunnel through the Great Firewall, use a related technology. Last month the Party tried to block internet access to those other companies by blocking any website using that technology, in the process inadvertently preventing me from editing our website.
Although I have to tunnel through the Great Firewall to add translations to our website, the website itself has never been blocked. Thus, when you read the things we publish there, you can rest secure in the knowledge that they have not been deemed harmful to your health by the Party. (Unlike the website, I can file new posts on this blog without having to bypass the Great Firewall. I just have to be careful where I put my coffee.)
A recent article in a Liuzhou newspaper which we translated as "Internet Safety" (article #6 on this page) attempted to explain the Party’s views on access to the web. Briefly summarized, since Western countries have adopted laws to prevent companies from collecting personal information involuntarily over the internet, the Party feels justified in protecting individuals from voluntarily receiving too much information over the internet. Mumbo-jumbo in Chinese remains unintelligible even after it’s translated into English.
According to James Fallows in China Airborne (at pp. 169 et seq.), the Chinese public mostly supports these kinds of restrictions. He suspects that people have been influenced by innumerable stories in the Chinese press about the dangers of unbridled internet access. The press routinely depicts evil internet webmasters as fomenting social unrest and using addictive fantasy games to lure Chinese children away from their schoolwork. (See our translation of the short story "Internet Love" for a typical example.) The Party “encourages” the press to publish these stories.
It’s amazing, though, how ineptly the Great Firewall is managed, especially with respect to materials not written in Chinese. One day last week, for example, stories about an earthquake in Alaska and a missing child in Iowa were blocked on CNN’s English language website, while two unflattering stories about the Party got through. Given the inefficiencies in the system, I really can’t say that China is stuck in 1984. It’s actually stuck somewhere in the more distant past, striving hard but unsuccessfully to get to 1984.
Happy New Year, whatever year it is where you are!

MY NEW BOOK
This is the story of New York City, told through the prism of a single block and the lives of the people who lived and worked there. Bordered by Twenty-Third Street to the south, Twenty-Fourth Street to the north, Fifth Avenue and Broadway to the east, and Sixth Avenue to the west, the block once lay far north of the settled city, then at its epicenter, and then on its cultural periphery once again. It's a story of forest and cement, bird cries and taxi horns, theaters and factories, publishing houses and brothels, gambling dens and gourmet foods. It's also a story of high life and low life, immigrants and tourists, farmers and aristocrats, crooked cops and moral reformers, toy inventors and social climbers—from Solomon Pieters, a former slave who was the first owner of the block, to Alexander "Clubber" Williams, a notorious police office of the 1870s, to Marietta Stevens, whose Sunday-night socials and scheming became the stuff of legend. Greed and generosity, guilt and innocence, extravanza and degradation—all have flourished on this one Manhattan block, emblematic of the city as a whole.
To be published by Bloomsbury in March 2021.
PRAISE FOR A BLOCK IN TIME
"Enriched by Bird's brisk character sketches and copious research, this is an entertaining and eye-opening snapshot of New York history." —Publishers Weekly
"A lively account packed with memorable NYC characters . . . Students of an ever changing Gotham will take pleasure in Bird's well-researched narrative." —Kirkus Reviews
"By deftly uncovering layer after layer of the history of just one city block in New York, Christiane Bird has created something altogether new: a kind of literary archaeology, rich with characters, incidents, and stories, from the Ice Age to the Covid-19 pandemic. I loved it." —Bill Hayes, author of Insomniac City
"A Block in Time is ostensibly about a very small plot of land, but it's the most comprehensive and fascinating book I've ever read about New York City history. Bird takes the city's ugly, wild past and weaves it into the modern landscape in such a unique and thrilling way. Everyone should be required to read this book before being allowed to move to New York." —Julia Wertz, author of Tenements, Towers & Trash
"Introducing readers to a remarkable cast of characters, Christiane Bird traces the extraordinary story of a single New York City neighborhood from the Age of Discovery to our own era of hypergentrification. More than a microhistory, A Block in Time offers a splendid portrait of the personalities and architecture, the fevered dreams and erratic energy that shaped a nation." —David S. Brown, author of The Last American Aristocrat
"Just as some writers have captured the history and character of a country or era by focusing on a single day, Christiane Bird has captured the hurly-burly sweep of the city's history and its quirky, resilient character by zooming in on a single block. It is a work of prodigious research and zestful writing that is a must for any aficionado of the great cities." —Joseph Berger, author of The World in a City
Christiane Bird vividly captures four centuries in microcosm by focusing on Madison Square's metamorphosis from the vice-infested Tenderloin and Theater District to the Flatiron and Silicon Alley. Her biography of the block, inspired by Columbia historian Ken Jackson's urban history course, percolated for twenty-five years. It was worth the wait." —Sam Roberts, author of A History of New York in 27 Buildings | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Jack in the Box restaurants became famous as the first major chain to use an intercom and the first to focus on drive-through food service. Now they're making newsfor a different reason: in honor of California's legalization of recreational marijuana, they are offering the "Merry Munchie Meal." The combo includes "the most craveable and snackable products that Jack in the Box has to offer."
The marijuana debate
On January 1, California began selling recreational marijuana. Lines formed outside stores licensed to sell the drug long before opening hours. The state is expected to become the world's largest market for legal recreational marijuana.
In related news, US Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded the Obama-era policy that paved the way for legalized marijuana to flourish in states across the nation. Federal law continues to prohibit growing, buying, or using the drug. However, numerous states have legalized these activities.
The Obama administration announced in 2013 that it would not stand in the way of these states, so long as officials kept marijuana from migrating to places where it remained outlawed and out of the hands of criminal gangs and children. Sessions is rescinding this policy, allowing US attorneys across the country to decide what kinds of federal resources to devote to marijuana enforcement based on priorities in their districts.
I have voiced my opposition to legalizing recreational marijuana in the past. Health issues associated with the drug are enough to raise significant concerns.
For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, marijuana use significantly increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes and has been connected with cancer. Long-term use of marijuana negatively affects brain development. It also harms the lungs.
One in ten marijuana users will become addicted to the drug. Addicts may be at a higher risk of problems with attention, memory, and learning.
According to the CDC website, "Marijuana users are significantly more likely than nonusers to develop chronic mental disorders, including schizophrenia." The drug has also been linked to depression and anxiety. Marijuana "edibles" pose a greater risk of poisoning. And secondhand marijuana smoke could affect the health of nonsmokers, including babies and children.
Since marijuana laws were liberalized in Colorado, the state is experiencing more car crash fatalities involving marijuana-using drivers, along with accidental ingestion and poisoning of children who inadvertently consume edibles packaged as candy and soda.
Four values that changed the world
Our laws reflect our values. In the case of legalizing recreational marijuana, the values of financial gain, popular opinion, and personal freedom are apparently more important than the values of physical, mental, and emotional health.
The marijuana debate illustrates the fact that we cannot legislate morality effectively. Laws compete with each other, as in the case of federal and state laws regarding marijuana enforcement. Laws can be interpreted in various ways. And it is impossible for lawmakers to anticipate every potential ethical problem.
As a result, we need values that will guide our decisions and form our character. On this first Friday of the new year, I'd like to offer four such values for consideration.
After the miracle of Pentecost, we read that the early Christians "devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers" (Acts 2:42). "Devoted themselves" translates proskartereo, meaning "to be committed exclusively to." These believers oriented their lives around four practices that they valued above all others:
• "The apostles' teaching"–a doctrinal worldview taught by church leaders.
• "The fellowship"–not just relationships in general, but intentional relationships with fellow believers.
• "The breaking of bread"–likely a reference to the Lord's Supper and the larger experience of Christian worship.
• "The prayers"–not just individual, spontaneous prayer, but organized, structured times of prayer with God.
As a result, "awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles" (v. 43). The believers helped each other while "praising God and having favor with all the people" (v. 47a). And "the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved" (v. 47b).
These believers soon "turned the world upside down" (Acts 17:6) and sparked a movement that transformed their world. If we wish to impact our culture this year as they impacted theirs, perhaps we should make their values ours.
So, ask yourself these diagnostic questions: When last did reading Scripture change your life? With whom are you doing life intentionally? Is worship a daily priority for you or just a Sunday program? Do you pray systematically and passionately?
If you were to take a step closer to Acts 2 Christianity, what would you do next?

What do you see when you frame your family’s computer with your fingers and squint? Seurat’s Sunday on La Grand Jatte? A chaotic Jackson Pollack? A Steve Jobs original? A Disney collectible? Munch’s The Scream?
It’s likely no two parents will agree on what having technology in the picture looks like to a child’s social, educational, emotional and physical development.
For example, a reasonable amount of social time online for an only child may be different than for a child who has multiple siblings with which to interact. How do you need to frame and position your family’s use of technology so that it allows them to thrive? It’s easy to be the critic–much harder to be a curator.

How to Beat Gnar in God of War Ragnarok

One such formidable opponent is Gnar, a powerful giant who can be a nightmare to defeat. In this article, we will provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to beat Gnar in God of War Ragnarok.
Understanding Gnar’s Weaknesses
Before we dive into the strategies, it’s essential to understand Gnar’s weaknesses. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
- Gnar is vulnerable to Runic Attacks: Gnar’s defenses are weak against Runic Attacks, which can be activated by equipping Runic Abilities on your weapons. These abilities deal massive damage and can be a game-changer in the battle against Gnar.
- Gnar has a weak spot on his chest: Gnar has a weak spot on his chest that can be targeted for significant damage. You can use your Runic Attacks or regular attacks to hit this spot and deal massive damage.
- Gnar is immune to Kratos’ Rage Mode: Gnar is immune to Kratos’ Rage Mode, which means you can’t use this mode to deal extra damage to him. You’ll need to rely on your Runic Attacks and regular attacks to take him down.
Strategies to Beat Gnar
Here are some strategies you can use to beat Gnar in God of War Ragnarok:
- Use your Runic Abilities wisely: Make sure to use your Runic Abilities at the right time to deal massive damage to Gnar. Focus on using abilities that deal area-of-effect damage to take out his smaller minions and weaken him.
- Target Gnar’s weak spot: As mentioned earlier, Gnar has a weak spot on his chest. Use your Runic Attacks or regular attacks to target this spot and deal significant damage.
- Use your Shield to block his attacks: Gnar’s attacks can be devastating, so make sure to use your shield to block them. This will give you time to counterattack and deal damage to him.
- Take out his minions: Gnar’s smaller minions can be a nuisance, so make sure to take them out quickly. Use your Runic Abilities or regular attacks to take out as many minions as you can.
- Use your Atreus’ skills: Atreus’ skills can be a game-changer in the battle against Gnar. Use his arrows to target Gnar’s weak spot or take out his minions.
Tips and Tricks
Here are some additional tips and tricks to help you beat Gnar:
- Keep moving: Gnar’s attacks can be unpredictable, so make sure to keep moving and avoid getting hit by his attacks.
- Use your environment: The environment can be your friend in the battle against Gnar. Use the rocks and pillars to block his attacks or take cover from his projectiles.
- Focus on one target at a time: Gnar’s minions can be distracting, but make sure to focus on one target at a time. Take out one minion at a time, and then move on to the next one.
- Use your health stones: If you’re running low on health, make sure to use your health stones to replenish your health. This will give you the extra life you need to take down Gnar.
Beating Gnar in God of War Ragnarok requires strategy, skill, and patience. By understanding Gnar’s weaknesses and using the right strategies, you can take him down and progress through the game. Remember to use your Runic Abilities wisely, target Gnar’s weak spot, and take out his minions to emerge victorious. With these tips and tricks, you’ll be well on your way to beating Gnar and taking on the rest of the game’s challenges. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Meteorologist Dr. Ryan Maue comments:
How Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders both reject the reality of climate change
The first is the denialism of President Trump. He either believes or cynically pretends to believe that climate change is not a threat. His administration has gravely aggravated the threat, for example by recklessly relaxing regulation of the super-warming gas methane.
The second version is the fantasy extremism of Sen. Bernie Sanders. He would prosecute oil executives “for the destruction they have knowingly caused” (he “welcomes their hatred”) and phase out carbon-neutral nuclear power. The Vermont independent would ban the fracking of natural gas, which is — if you control the methane emissions — a useful transitional fuel from dirty coal to clean wind and solar.
As though by magic, Sanders’s proposals will “dramatically decrease the cost of energy storage” and (why not?) make electricity “virtually free” after 2035 (though, sadly, we would still have to pay for “operations and maintenance costs”). All fossil fuels will be gone by 2030, the renewable energy that takes its place will be “publicly owned,” and — not to worry — the plan “will pay for itself over 15 years.”
Unfortunately, there is no magic wand to make such things happen, as Patrick Pouyanné told me last week. Pouyanné is one of those people whose hatred Sanders might welcome; he is chairman and chief executive of Paris-based Total, one of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies.
On a recent visit to Washington, Pouyanné himself did not seem particularly hateful; on the contrary. Unlike the U.S. president, he has no doubt that climate change is real and “a huge challenge for mankind.”
“I believe the scientists,” he said, and he favors a global (and corporate) evolution away from fossil fuels. He wrote to the Environmental Protection Agency to oppose Trump’s methane regulation rollback.
As an executive doing business in many countries, however, he is aware of some realities:
● Eighty percent of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels.
● Despite growing awareness, and the Paris accord, last year, coal use increased and forests (the best means to pull carbon out of the atmosphere) shrank.
● Close to 1 billion of the world’s 7 billion people have no access to electricity, and their governments are not going to be satisfied with that situation.
● When it comes to energy, every nation is concerned first with the security of supply; second with the cost of supply; and only third with its cleanliness.
● The technology does not exist today to allow a system to rely only on intermittent sources of energy such as wind and sunshine.
● Climate change is a global challenge, “and we do not have a global government.”
Pouyanné said a U.S. ban on fracking — or the jailing of oil executives, for that matter — would have little impact on climate change. Why? Because much of the world’s oil is located in poorer countries that depend desperately on oil exports, and they will gladly make up any shortfall.
“Change will not come from changing the source of supply,” he said. “You have to reduce demand.”…
It should be encouraging, but it won’t be — if both parties end up with nominees who each, in his own way, rejects reality. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Learn two simple ways to set the privacy and activity settings for each Google Chrome extension on your browser and steps the company is taking to protect users.
Google’s Chrome web browser is a popular choice for businesses the world over. Managing the extensions gives you more control and faster results when using Chrome to its best. Here’s a closer look at Chrome add-ons and how to use them effectively.
And with emerging cyberthreats targeting browsers, now is an important time to know your way around the extensions.
What Is the History of Google Chrome Extensions?
Google introduced Chrome in 2008. By 2010, there were more than 10,000 extensions available in the Chrome Web Store. Today, the company does not release the number available, but it’s estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands.
That growth brings with it an increasing vulnerability to attacks via vectors embedded in extensions. The company does work to keep malicious extensions out of its store but mistakes are possible. Other extensions can invade users’ privacy.
Should I Uninstall All Chrome Extensions?
Deleting all extensions is not necessary. Instead, use these two helpful tools to manage your extensions better and control permissions you provide to the add-in.
1. Use Extension Icons
To the right of the address bar, you’ll find icons representing the extensions you’ve installed. If you right-click on an icon, you’ll see an option titled “This can read and change site data” with three options:
The default is the first option, which limits the use of the extension to user-activated times. If an extension is “loud,” meaning it uses a lot of bandwidth, these settings can provide more control.
2. Use Extension Settings
If you click on the hamburger menu icon to the far right of your address bar, you can click on the option “More tools” and click on “Extensions.” This will bring up a screen with a box for each installed extension. Click on the Details button for any extension you want to modify. You’ll see the three options again, but also an option to add the URLs of specific sites on which you want the extension activated.
What Can Go Wrong with Browser Extensions?
There are several risks to installing browser extensions. Here are a few of the ways extensions can do harm:
Is Google Addressing Extension Security?
Google recently announced steps it’s taking to combat the security issues with extensions. Among its changes:
Proactive steps combined with Google’s efforts are critical to keeping your browsing and data safe and secure. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humans.
Cyberpunk fashion is a subculture that emerged in the early 1980s. It's characterized by punk, techy, "street" styles. And It's often seen in popular culture with iconic films such as Blade Runner or music videos like Ghost in the Shell. Cyberpunk techwear fashion is typically defined by emphasizing synthetic materials, exposed rivets and joints, dark colors, and dramatic asymmetrical designs. This blog post will focus on cyberpunk fashion for men with tips from a streetwear designer.
When designing your cyberpunk outfit, the first thing to consider is what type of style you're going for: do you want to go futuristic or more grounded? Think about how high-tech or low-tech your outfit should be.
The fashion industry is experiencing a shift in how we view clothes and what we wear. The punk rock movement has become more mainstream, and the futuristic aesthetic of cyberpunk is also on the rise. So, where does that leave those looking for new techwear?
Not to worry: many of today's top designers incorporate high-tech fabrics into their designs and offer outstanding options for anyone who wants to stay ahead of the curve. From jackets with built-in heated pockets to boots that can charge your phone, there's no shortage of products designed specifically for people who want to get an edge over everyday life by making themselves as technologically advanced as possible.
A subgenre of clothing that mixes high tech with streetwear. There are many different styles, but the most popular types consist of light to heavy armor, goggles, and gas masks. Some cyberpunk outfits include leather jackets, camouflage pants, combat boots, and metallic accessories like belts or chains. The typical colors for this style are black and silver, but some other colors depend on your outfit's appearance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Sophistication meets sensibility with Cocolea Furniture, an Australian luxury brand that empowers its designs with aesthetic innovation. Beyond creating spaces that look ripped out from glossy interior magazines, the recent interview with Design MEETings put a spotlight on how we, as a team at Cocolea, craft furniture with the intent to bring out the space’s individual homeliness.
During the conversation, Cláudia Moreira and Dorina Cocolea, cofounder of Cocolea Furniture, discussed Cocolea’s redefinition of luxury as they create bespoke, artistic pieces that take inspiration from timeless designs around the world. Be it playing around with geometric shapes to create architectural textures to contrasting styles from different poles apart eras, Meetsales traversed what it’s like to combine elements to create a home that is truly unique.
The result is the best of all worlds in design—from antique eccentricity and eclectic modernism to polished industrialism harmoniously integrated into every room.
Representing Luxury and Its Colourful Medley of Inspirations
Throughout the conversation about design inspiration, recent trends, and connections in design, a brand that often came up was Boca Do Lobo. As one of Dorina’s creative inspirations and a brand Meetsales represents, Boca Do Lobo remains dedicated to embracing emblematic pieces, daring us to reinterpret our approach with what exclusive means for clients. Luxxu also had a hand in shaping the way we highlight the distinction in our pieces, along with our favourites like Brabbu, Koket, and Circu. With a passion for making a change through our pieces, it only makes sense that they’ve collaborated with Meetsales too!
With different muses guiding our creative process, our brand produces personalised elements that play around with wood, metals and a pop of colour to capture the essence of our clients. Dorina also talked about the importance of understanding the relationship between the materials, style, and functionality of every piece of furniture, and how it unveils the connection between beauty and purpose.
Cocolea Leads Clients to a Journey of Discovery
The interview was truly a meeting of two tastemakers in the industry, one that aims to challenge the norm with Cocolea’s fresh take on luxury furniture and Meetsales obsession with scouting like-minded brands who strive to create seamlessly tailored experiences through design. This interview catches the spirit of luxury furniture, one that designs pieces that would best represent the experience and completeness of every homeowner.
After all, what is a home without feeling cosy in chic decor? What makes a house an extension of every homeowner, if not for the comfort they find in the furnishings that complete their abode?
Read more about our interview with Meetsales and see how we take a deep dive into the multifaceted characteristics of our luxury furniture designs: nature-driven, dynamic, and humanist. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The main objective of the visit was to examine, in light of the recommendations made by the Committee after its previous visit in 2020, the treatment of persons deprived of their liberty by the police.

The delegation also visited the new sites of the Penitentiary Establishment No. 4 (for sentenced women) and the Juvenile Correctional Establishment.
In the course of the visit, the delegation held consultations with Mr Fikrat Mammadov, Minister of Justice, and Mr Fazil Guliyev, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, as well as other senior officials from the aforementioned Ministries, the Police and the Penitentiary Service. The delegation also met Mr Elcin Mammadov, First Deputy Prosecutor General. Further, a meeting was held with Ms Sabina Aliyeva, Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and staff of the National Preventive Group.
At the end of the visit, the delegation provided the Azerbaijani authorities with its preliminary observations.
The visit was carried out by the following CPT members:
• Therese Rytter, 2nd Vice-President of the CPT, Head of Delegation
• Mari Amos
• Nico Hirsch
• Ömer Müslümanoğlu
• Asbjørn Rachlew
They were supported by Borys Wódz, Head of Division at the CPT Secretariat. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Although appellate court judges threw out some claims against the bank, they said that market manipulation allegations were “plausible.”
Credit Suisse is having another rough week.
A U.S. Appeals Court reopened a 2018 case alleging that Credit Suisse had engaged in market manipulation of some exchange-traded notes that short the VIX, a popular proxy for volatility.
The reopened case comes as the European Commission announced on Wednesday that it had fined the bank and three others, alleging that they had formed a “cartel in the secondary trading market,” and as the United States Senate Finance Committee said it had launched a probe into Credit Suisse. The Finance Committee is looking at whether the bank allowed wealthy individuals to shield their assets from the government, in violation of a 2014 plea agreement. (Commenting on the EC, a spokesman said in an emailed statement that, “Credit Suisse continues to believe that the single former employee whom the EC criticized did not engage in anti-competitive conduct.” The bank intends to appeal the decision.)
The Swiss bank is also still reeling from taking significant losses related to the blow up of Archegos, the heavily leveraged family office of former hedge fund manager Bill Hwang.
Credit Suisse Bought Futures Contracts When Volatility Spiked
The plaintiffs — a group of investors led by Set Capital — allege that Credit Suisse issued exchange-traded notes shorting the VIX, shorthand for the Cboe Volatility Index, while also hedging against those notes, resulting in a liquidity squeeze that then eroded the value of the group’s investments.
The notes are unsecured debt securities sold by Credit Suisse and formally called VelocityShares Inverse VIX Short Term Exchange Traded Notes.
In other words, the investors were using unsecured debt to short the volatility index, which spiked in 2011, 2015, and 2016, according to the appeal.
The appellate judges’ decision said that during these three times, Credit Suisse bought VIX futures contracts to hedge against potential losses on the ETNs. But with insufficient liquidity in the futures markets, Credit Suisse caused prices to spike, and the value of the XIV notes to plummet. The U.S. Appeals Court for the Second Circuit said, “If proven at trial, this alleged conduct was manipulative under our precedents.”
. . .
“We believe that Credit Suisse and its former CEO intentionally misled and manipulated investors so that they could profit while investors suffered devastating losses, and we are pleased that this critical case is moving forward,” said Michael B. Eisenkraft, a partner at Cohen Milstein who represents some of the plaintiffs, in a statement Wednesday. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Valeant Pharmaceuticals agreed Thursday to pay $23 million to end a proposed class action accusing the drug company of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act with an alleged scheme to block its drugs from generic competition through a “secret network of captive pharmacies.”
A putative class of third-party payors asked a New Jersey federal judge Thursday to preliminarily approve an all-cash settlement reached with Valeant, the now-defunct mail-order pharmacy Philidor Rx Services LLC and Philidor’s ex-CEO Andrew Davenport, ending claims of fraud and conspiracy in violation of the RICO Act.
The proposed settlement comes after more than five years of litigation, which includes a yearlong stay during which a Valeant executive and Philidor’s ex-CEO were found guilty of engaging in a kickback scheme.
The plaintiffs, led by a group of health and welfare funds, are also seeking approval for a separate $125,000 cash settlement with Philidor and its former CEO.
Allegations that Valeant, which is now Canada-based Bausch Health Cos. Inc., created phantom sales through a shadowy network of specialty pharmacies surfaced in 2015 when a stock commentary website accused the drugmaker of cooking its books through Philidor and other dispensers.
The accusations sparked a stock plunge, which was exacerbated by the unveiling of a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into the Philidor affair in early 2016.
Plaintiffs in this case — third-party payors — hit Valeant with a putative class action in May 2016, accusing it of violating the RICO Act by issuing them thousands of fraudulent statements inflating the reimbursements they owed for drugs.
. . .
Plaintiffs are represented by James E. Cecchi of Carella Byrne Cecchi Olstein Brody & Agnello PC, Hannah Ross, James A. Harrod, Jai K. Chandrasekhar and James E. Fee of Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP, Jeffrey W. Golan and Jeffrey A. Barrack of Barrack Rodos & Bacine, and Julie Goldsmith Reiser, S.

A 104-year-old WWII veteran had his Valentine’s Day wish granted by students at Van Schaick Grade School.
Major Bill White (Ret.) of Stockton, California asked people from all over the country to send him cards to add to his scrapbooks.
Van Schaick students wanted to make sure their cards stood out, so they combined them all to create an American flag. It also included a recreation of the famous image of the American flag being raised at Iwo Jima, the battle for which Major White received his Purple Heart.
Principal Jacqueline DeChiaro said she was inspired to help after seeing Maj. White’s story circulating on social media. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Commercial real estate investor and developer, Firethorn Trust, has broken ground at Link Logistics Park, its landmark 42-acre development in Ellesmere Port.
More than 760,000 sq. ft. of industrial space will be created on the former brownfield site, including a single unit spanning 655,000 sq. ft., making it the biggest single cross-docked warehouse being developed in the UK this year.
The first phase of development is set to be available for early occupation in Q4 2022, and is being delivered by Winvic Construction Ltd. The contract is the second awarded to Winvic by Firethorn, following the delivery of Ascent Logistics Park in Leighton Buzzard.
Delivered to net-zero carbon construction, and BREEAM Excellent, the scheme’s highly-specified design is at the forefront of the market. The scheme’s base specification includes 15% rooflight coverage, Photovoltaic arrays, and is 100% commercial electric vehicle ready including 32 electric vehicle charging points. Up to 25MV of power will also be available from a local carbon-neutral ‘Waste to Energy’ facility.
The design also incorporates features to help occupiers reach their own operational sustainability and wellbeing targets, with future full PV coverage, and battery ready features allowed for within the design, as well as WELL ready accreditations.
Chris Webb, Partner at Firethorn Trust, said: “We’re delighted that work is now underway to deliver this landmark development, which is one of the largest speculative projects across the country to be built this year. Link Logistics Park is a prime example of our commitment to creating modern and sustainable logistics spaces, offering excellent connectivity, market-leading specification and best-in-class design features.
“The scope and scale of this development is reflective of Firethorn’s growing ambition and it’s a hugely exciting addition to our expanding national portfolio. We look forward to working closely with Winvic to bring the project to completion.”
Danny Nelson, Director of Industrial, Distribution and Logistics at Winvic, added: “Following the completion of the enabling works at Link Logistics Park in Ellesmere Port, we’re delighted to be able to start on site to create over 760,000 sq. ft. of net zero carbon industrial space. Having worked with Firethorn Trust to deliver Ascent Logistics Park – an eight-facility net zero carbon project – in less than 12 months, we have a fantastic relationship with their team and aim to exceed their expectations delivering this landmark 42-acre development.”
Immediately adjacent to Junction 7 of the M53 and within a 45-minute drive of Liverpool and Manchester airports, the multi-modal industrial development lies in close proximity to the Manchester shipping canal, just 22 miles from the Port of Liverpool, offering exceptional transport links to the UK logistics network.
All enquiries should be directed to the scheme’s letting agents, CBRE, B8 and Moriarty & Co. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Branches heavy with the night’s perfume
the moon holds back the song
in her soft, bright throat,
the silence of a thousand moons
trapped in a thousand drops of dew.
Lightning bugs signal their location
in the approaching dark like God,
the ancient firefly, flashing,
disappearing, again, and again.
Is the next one the same
small beacon from a moment ago,
or some new light,
illuminating for only a flash
another infinitesimal corner of the cosmic dark? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Team Building Sessions
Strong Teams Succeed Together.
Develop a unique experiential learning opportunity tailored to your team. We’ll work with you to create a customized retreat based on your business goals.
Traditional leadership and team-building activities often have effects that fade once participants leave the room. An immersive experience with horses will have immediate and lasting effects.
By the end of the session, your team will have increased trust, built team culture, and created ways to work together more effectively.
Why Team Building?
Why should we do this?
- To experience what it’s like to have a team who feel connected to each other
- To create renewed energy in your team
- Because your team will feel valued and appreciated
- Because learning with horses is on a whole other level to most professional development
- Get ready to see a huge return on investment in how your team works together
HOW IT WORKS
An example of a one-day team retreat is described below. Each retreat is custom-designed in collaboration with you to meet the goals of your organization and team.
Participants take a walk in the woods to transition from the hustle-bustle of life to the peaceful setting of the farm. We follow this will a mindful transition and orientation to the session.
Team members come together to complete activities to help them get to know each other better and explore how they coordinate action.
Teamwork & Horses
Members of the team work together with each other and their equine partner to explore themes in leadership, followership, collaboration and communication.
Participants describe their key take-aways in a closing circle. This deepens learning as the team shares what they have discovered and how it has impacted them.
Round Out the Day
You might choose to add an additional team experience by gathering socially around the fire-circle, or by taking a hike in a nearby park. We are also conveniently located near Lone Oak Brewing Company, a popular post-retreat gathering spot.
Horses are uniquely effective partners for learning and growing.
Equines have a special ability to understand what is going on within us and help us gain insights about ourselves. Like humans, horses engage in complex social dynamics and they can teach us how to navigate relational complexities. Horses help us uncover our innate gifts and inspire us in our quest to develop our best selves.

This has been another eventful week in Reception Marks.
The children have been learning all about mini beasts. The children went on a minibeasts hunt around the school grounds. They each had a clipboard. They worked together in pairs to see how many different minibeasts they could find.
Then in art they were each given a piece of clay with a minibeasts imprinted on it. They were shown how to paint it carefully. The children then individually and carefully painted their mini beasts.
The children have been learning about Verbs this week. The children completed lots of different PE activities in order for them to understand what a verb is. They then wrote about their activities including verbs in their writing.
In Maths the children have been consolidating take away. They are confident to use a number line to show their working out. We created an extra large number line for the children to use and show their working out. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Now is the time for most people to reflect on the year that passed and prepare for the new beginning that each fresh year brings. It’s also the most common time to set new goals and improve upon the things that need fixing.
The tricky portion is how to stick to our resolutions. We tend to start out strong but it’s so common to fall behind after a few months, especially if you are sticking to goals on your own. Setting goals with a group will ensure that you have more accountability and will make it a little easier for you to stick to your resolutions and succeed in kicking a bad habit or achieving something you’ve always wanted.
Setting resolutions as a family is even better. Not only do you benefit from higher chances of succeeding, it’s also a great way to teach our kids self-discipline and goal-setting. But how do we make new year resolutions more effective for the whole family? Follow these doable tips that will surely benefit the whole household.
Do it as a family
Set a night to sit down as a family to reflect and set your goals. Each one should take his turn to share – discuss your accomplishments, goals and things you want to improve as individuals and as a family.
Resolutions as a family can include monthly activities like hiking, playing board games, or doing social activities like joining a charity event or a fund-raising run. To make it more doable, consider common interests and other factors such as time and finances. The simpler they are, the better!
Customise your resolutions
When it comes to goal-setting, there’s no one-size-fits-all formula. Each family member is different, with various characters, motivations and needs. One thing is for sure though, everyone has room for improvements. Hence, it is important to keep in mind that for resolutions to be more effective, they must be tailor fit. If your kid hates vegetables, make a pact to discover new ways of presenting and eating vegetables whether it’s monthly new recipe that you both can prepare or growing a vegetable garden to encourage your kid to eat what he or she harvested. If it’s a problem of messy rooms, start with simple rule of 10-minute cleaning every morning before breakfast. When it becomes part of their habit, it will be easier to follow.
While we start strong at the beginning of the year, interest and commitment will wane as time goes on. The best way to keep tab is to set a monthly check to see how everyone is doing and how far along you are in achieving your goals. Offer support to each other by asking questions like ‘what can I do to help you achieve your goals?’. Moral support plays a key part in boosting a person’s confidence.
Create a chart that you can post on the fridge, with monthly stickers or stars to celebrate each milestone.
Why not do your monthly check over a nice BBQ in the yard with board and card games too? Fun and fruitful at the same time!
Meeting a goal is very rewarding, and what better way to celebrate as a family than acknowledging a bad habit gone or losing the stubborn ten pounds. Rewards don’t have to be big, it can be as simple as going on an out of town camping trip or a day at your family’s favourite theme park at the end of every year.
Even if your kids don’t achieve their goals completely, acknowledge the progress and the effort that come with it and discuss how they can do better.
At the end of the day, resolutions should be a guide and not set in stone. Flexibility is as important. Lastly, be a role model! Kids look up to their parents and emulate their habits. Hence, the best thing we can do is to walk the talk ourselves. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the midst of national debates over raising the minimum wage, the New York Times recently published a blistering account of the working conditions at Amazon, the most valuable retail company in the world.
The mainstream arguments over the minimum wage essentially boil down to two directly opposing ideas. On one hand, conservatives contend that labor markets are already basically efficient, so raising the minimum wage will destroy jobs by artificially setting wages higher than employers will be willing to pay. On the other hand, liberals argue that many employers wield enough power over employees to act like monopolists, so raising the minimum wage will beneficially transfer wealth from big corporations to low-income individuals.
Enter Amazon, whose labor practices suggest a disturbing third alternative. In 2011, a local Pennsylvania newspaperreported that temporary employees in an Amazon warehouse had been passing out under the strain of mandatory overtime hours spent in temperatures sometimes exceeding 100 degrees. Now comes the Times story, detailing conditions that even Wall Street veterans characterized as “extreme”: sleepless nights, mandatory termination quotas, and discrimination against cancer victims, new parents, and even one woman with a recently stillborn child.
The third alternative to the prevailing minimum-wage arguments is that employers not only wield power over workers, but that they often possess even more power than they currently exercise. Berkeley professor Melvin Eisenberg points out that most corporations are restrained to some degree by social and moral norms. This observance of common decency would create an opportunity for a hardcore libertarian unconcerned with such niceties, one who would view such behavior as an exploitable opportunity. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (who reportedly wanted to name his start-up “relentless.com”, a URL that still redirects to www.amazon.com) fits the bill.
Traditional social and moral norms would not permit a manager to allow, let alone encourage, a woman who miscarried twins to leave home for a business trip the day after her surgery. But Amazon is not most companies. Traditional social and moral norms would not permit a boss to call an employee “a problem” because she had cut back on working nights and weekends to care for her cancer-stricken father. Clearly, Amazon is not inclined to observe traditional social and moral norms.
Of course, working in Amazon’s offices does not come without any benefits. Salaries are competitive, and some employees point to the exhilaration that comes with being at the center of supply-chain innovation, a “futuristic and magical” feeling. Others celebrate a culture of opportunity, where even junior employees can see their ideas come to fruition.
That said, the real victims of Amazon’s disregard for common social norms may not be the employees themselves, who at least stand a chance of enjoying those benefits. Where the costs or harms stemming from a transaction are imposed on third parties, economists agree that a “market failure” occurs.
Many of the costs created when a company chooses to fully exercise its power over employees are borne by third parties. Destroying work-life balance harms more than just the one doing the work. It harms those who share the life. The fiancée who drove daily to an Amazon campus at 10 p.m. and begged his partner to come home. The family of the woman whose child was stillborn.
By imposing these costs on third parties, Amazon creates (and profits from) a market failure, in much the same way as a factory dumping toxic chemicals into a nearby river. Yet there is today precious little preventing other companies from following in Bezos’ path.
In Amazon’s conduct, one can witness the full extent of the power some employers have at their disposal, and what it looks like when that power is used. Laws like the minimum wage protect not only employees themselves, but also their families, friends, and local communities. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Microsoft-Centric FlexPod Here, Sub-$100K FlexPod On Tap?
Cisco and NetApp Wednesday at the Avnet-Cisco Executive Summit unveiled a new version of their FlexPod converged infrastructure architecture that replaces virtualization technology from current FlexPod partner VMware with software from Microsoft.
A NetApp executive at the show also brought up the possibility of a new lower-cost FlexPod solution, which would be the first to be configured with a list price of less than $100,000.
Meanwhile, the new Cisco Validated Design for FlexPod and Microsoft is configured with Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track architecture with Windows Server 2008 R2 and System Center.
FlexPod is not a product but is instead an architecture that provides a large degree of flexibility in configuring storage solutions based on NetApp storage and Cisco networking and Unified Computing Systems server technology. Until Wednesday's unveiling of a FlexPod based on Microsoft's cloud and virtualization software, FlexPod architectures also included VMware virtualization technology.
FlexPod's presized, validated and standardized data center architecture is aimed at helping solution providers build flexible storage solutions to help customers transition to cloud computing.
Unlike the VCE Vblock cloud infrastructure solution, which is shipped preconfigured by VCE, FlexPod provides a reference architecture that is used by partners to build converged IT infrastructures.
Avnet Technology Solutions will provide integration services related to the new FlexPod solution for solution providers who decide not to do the integration by themselves.
The new FlexPod solution is available for demonstration in select Microsoft Technology Centers and is available for configuration by solution providers. Pricing was not provided as the actual configuration depends on customer requirements.
Peter Howard, senior director of channel strategy and development at NetApp, said the new FlexPod solution offers partners choice. "We're providing partners with building blocks to meet whatever their customers' requirements are," he said. "It's in NetApp's DNA to let partners help customers decide what's best for them."
Jim Sherriff, senior vice president of Cisco's Americas Partner Organization, said the introduction of a Microsoft-centric FlexPod solution will not impact sales of the existing VMware-centric FlexPods.
"VMware is still a competitive partner," Sherriff said. "And Microsoft, being Microsoft, will be competitive to the end. VMware is dominant. But our goal is to not be religious about this. Our goal is to provide partner choice."
Having a Microsoft-centric FlexPod solution will be important as the number of customers considering Microsoft as an alternative to VMware for virtualization and cloud technology grows, said Mark Teter, CTO of Advanced Systems Group, a Denver-based solution provider and partner of NetApp and Cisco.
"We really have not yet done a lot of cloud platforms with Microsoft," Teter said. "VMware has been a good play for the channel. But customers want choice. The addition of the Microsoft hypervisor will really round out the offering to make it a reliable solution for all IT platforms going forward."
The possibility of a new FlexPod reference architecture listing at less than $100,000 was raised by Howard during a presentation at the summit.
When asked about plans for a sub-$100,000 FlexPod, Howard said one was coming soon but then declined to talk about it further. He also declined to discuss the plans with CRN later in the day.
However, a source said such plans probably would be based on the release of a new version of Cisco UCS servers with new technology for reducing costs in Microsoft environments. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This pure emerald beauty has deserved to be placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1979, as the oldest Croatian National Park (proclaimed in 1949).
DURATION: 8 hours
Plitvice Lakes are recognized as an astonishing natural monument for the benefit and enjoyment of the people now and for the generations to come.

Thousands of people from all over the world visit the Park during summer. They come to find peace and relaxation just to experience something different as a getaway from the city.
The series of 16 bigger and a few smaller lakes, gradually lined up, separated by travertine barriers for which the period of the last ten thousand years was crucial, and which were ruled by ecological relations similar to those of today – suitable for travertine depositing and for the origin of the lakes – are the basic phenomenon of the National Park.

Rastoke is often called the lobby of Plitvice Lakes and therefore is often called small Plitvice Lakes. In Rastoke we will see the old water mills, traditional wooden houses and lovely nature.
River Slunjcica is abundant with wild trout which you can try in the local restaurants, freshly caught and prepared in many different ways.
Village Rastoke is true hidden paradise and a great overture to the majestic Plitvice Lakes.

Charm and sincerity perfect prescription to cure the common comedy
Charlie Bartlett is a rich kid in a blazer. He’s the target of mohawked bullies and has contempt for authority. Having just been kicked out of private school for making fake IDs, he is the new kid at a typical angst-ridden public high school. And he’s just so darn likable.
Bartlett, played by Anton Yelchin, has been compared by some to Matthew Broderick’s Ferris Bueller. The comparison is fairly accurate – both troublemakers exude an honest charm that wins them the popularity of their peers.
However, rather than playing hooky, Bartlett deals drugs from a boys bathroom stall.
Instead of selling marijuana or cocaine to his classmates, he hands out Xanax and Ritalin. Growing up with a quirky but medicated mother has given Bartlett access to many psychiatrists as well as the prescriptions they are eager to hand out.
While he does dole out medications for his classmates’ afflictions, he also hands out good advice. Confiding in Bartlett about low self-esteem, depression and family problems, the complaints of his peers resonate with viewers because they represent real problems facing high school students.
The movie also confronts the irony of America’s attitude towards drugs. The line between illegal drugs and legal ones that require a prescription blurs when a school dance on Ritalin resembles an Ecstasy-induced rave.
But like every hero, Bartlett faces opposition. His antagonist comes in the form of the school’s alcoholic principal, played by Robert Downey Jr. He is also the father of Bartlett’s love interest, the beautiful but rebellious Susan.
Several aspects of the movie were undeveloped, such as Bartlett’s relationship with his father, in prison for tax evasion. Even though most of the high school depictions seemed fairly true, several scenarios seemed forced, like a clubhouse student lounge equipped with security cameras.
Overall, the intelligence and heart of the film make it a must-see comedy. “Charlie Bartlett” was as earnestly sincere and instantly charming as its title character.

Elsa and Fred is the story of two people who, at the end of the road, discover that it’s never too late to love. After losing his wife, Fred (Christopher Plumer) feels disturbed, confused and alone, so his daughter (Marcia Gay Harden) helps move him into a small apartment where he meets Elsa (Shirley Maclaine). From that moment on, everything changes. Elsa bursts into Fred’s life like a whirlwind, determined to teach him that the time he has left to live—be it more or less—is precious and that he should enjoy it as he pleases.
Christopher Plummer and Shirley Maclaine star in upcoming octogenarian romcom Elsa and Fred – and we must say the first trailer has charmed us to bits.
The mere combination of Plummer and Maclaine makes Elsa and Fred a must see, however, there also appears to be plenty of wit, charm and tugging at the heartstings to boot. Expect a packed supporting cast that includes: James Brolin, George Segal, Marcia Gay Harden, Scott Bakula and Chris Noth.
Here is the film’s official synopsis: | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The University Hospital of Cardiff in Wales have celebrated appointing their very first Cure Leukaemia Research Nurse to help expand their clinical trials portfolio.
We caught up with the new appointment, Zoe, to discuss her exciting appointment and how her role will benefit blood cancer patients across Wales:
Can you give us an overview of your new role?
Being a TAP Nurse at Cardiff and Vale UHB involves a lot of patient communication and contact which takes place in various settings. I am part of Consultant-led patient clinics where both trial and non-trial patients are seen and discussed at length. During these clinics I have am able to listen to all information given by Consultants and be on hand to provide advice or information about trials if required.
Aside from the clinics I provide support for current trial patients throughout every step of their treatment and during any required interventions. I meet with the patient every time they come into the hospital setting and also have phone contact with them. I believe it is crucial to build an open and good rapport.
The other aspect of the role is to collate and input accurate data into the relevant systems so that good quality research data can be gathered.
Why did you want to become a TAP Research Nurse?
I wanted to become a TAP Research Nurse firstly because of the way that these trials can make a difference to the lives of patients and secondly for me to become part of a network of nurses across the UK who all have the same goal in mind. I am passionate about research and the way that it can influence future treatments for our patients and their families and friends.
What did you do previously?
I have had a varied career since qualifying as a registered nurse 12 years ago. I started in Elderly Medical Rehabilitation, then moved onto Trauma Orthopaedics, Community Medicines Team, A&E and Assessment Unit where I became a Deputy Sister. From these roles I decided to branch out into the field of Haematology Research and see a different aspect of nursing which is rewarding in a completely different way.
What do you hope to achieve as a TAP Research Nurse?
My main goal as a TAP Nurse is to provide consistency and information appropriate to patient needs at an appropriate time. I want to be able to alleviate as many stresses on my patients as possible in a time of possible uncertainty for them. I will be the main nursing contact for the patient and the TAP network. My goal is also to promote Cure Leukaemia as a charity and share my enthusiasm of their efforts and commitment so that future trials can be secured.
What trials will you be working on?
The trials I will be working on are STELLAR, PROMISE, VICTOR, FEDORA and PRIZM+. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

There are many opinions on the topic of texting and driving. The goal of this blog post is to explore the effects on vision during texting.
So, from a visual perspective, why does texting make you more likely to crash? The problem lies in distraction from driving. For example, it takes a fast texter approximately 20 seconds to read and reply to a text. At 55 mph on the highway, a driver glances away from the road for approximately one-third of a mile. When the driver is focusing on their screen, this essentially gives the driver tunnel vision, causing the visual system to essentially use peripheral vision for driving. Your central vision is used to detect depth perception, detail, and colors such as red or green. So when texting, your depth perception, or 3-D vision, is altered and if cars are stopped ahead or closing in rapidly, it's not as easily detected. Colors, such as red brake lights or traffic signals, are not as easily noticed.
Next time you encounter situations with texting and driving, know that the visual system was designed to perform advanced visual perception while using central vision. This includes detail vision, depth perception, and color vision….all of which are placed on hold while texting and driving.
For more information on texting and driving see:

Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 11 (ANI): A farmer has “accidentally” killed a stray cow at the Atrauli Mandi area here with a stick in a bid to prevent her from eating his grains, a senior officer said.
The accused has been arrested and charges were framed against him under the Cow Slaughter Act, Circle Officer (CO) Rakesh Kumar Sisodia said on Saturday, adding peace is prevailing in the area.
“A poor farmer killed a cow so as to prevent her from eating its grains on Friday at Atrauli Mandi area. The incident took place accidentally. We reached the spot immediately and conducted the post-mortem of the cow. The cow was then buried,” the CO said, describing the incident.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) workers also gathered at the spot on Friday after the incident demanding strict action against the accused.
“A cow was beaten to death with a stick in a gruesome manner. The police quickly got the cow buried without getting the post-mortem done,” VHP coordinator Kedar Singh claimed.
“We are demanding a post-mortem of the cow. A case should be filed against the accused,” he said. (ANI) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Hypnosis is one of the oldest of all therapeutic techniques and was even practiced in Ancient Egypt, thousands of years ago.
In 1955, the British Medical Association (BMA) endorsed its practice in medical school education. Today, hypnotherapy has a fine body of evidence to support it. So much so, that even the NHS is now holding it in high regard.
Hypnosis itself is known as an ‘altered state of consciousness’ but, that isn’t as weird as it sounds, because you know how to go into an altered state of consciousness anyway and you do it all by yourself, several times a day.
Daydreaming is an altered state of consciousness; so to is meditation, as well as falling asleep and waking up in the morning.
However, you can also have trance-like states that are much more focussed and aware, such as driving your car or losing yourself in a really good book.
Hypnosis then, is a very natural and every-day occurrence. And, from a therapeutic point-of-view, a very nice thing happens to your mind whilst you are in that state.
In hypnosis your unconscious mind becomes very receptive to positive suggestions. Especially when those suggestions are tied to a goal you already know you want to achieve.
It helps to think of your unconscious mind as the database of everything you are. Everything you have ever learned, witnessed, seen, felt and done. All of your emotions, beliefs, skills, habits and responses, all stored as patterns of information in the unconscious mind.
Hypnotherapy, in the form of suggestions, images and metaphors, can layer in new information based on what you what to achieve.
Hypnotic suggestions can be given to help you stop smoking, quit drugs, be more confident, eat more healthily, control your panic and anxiety, help you manage you anger, improve your memory, cure insomnia and so much more.
The applications of it, and the things it can help you with are almost endless.
I’ve been in practice using hypnotherapy since 2003 and I am an accredited member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
This month’s Darts Darling is khun New – not Nu as a certain person from New Jersey (who shall be nameless) insists. The lovely and popular miss New can be found any night at the New Cowboy Bar and Restaurant on Sukhumvit soi 22, where she will be happy to serve you a drink or meal along with one of her famous smiles. I feel it is unnecessary to extol her lovely appearance, as one glance at her pictures will speak for itself. Suffice it to say that her radiant smile is matched by her good humour and friendly manner.
New is from Si Sa Ket, which is in the North East Isaan region of Thailand. Si Sa Ket province is famous for its many Khmer Empire era ruins dating back more than a thousand years . It is also the home of Wat Larn Kuad, the beer bottle temple. The temple’s construction is novel, it is built from bottles, bottle caps and concrete. New tells me that she has noticed some regulars at New Cowboy purchase several bottles of beer from the Seven-Eleven opposite every night to take home with them. She wonders what they are building at home with the empty bottles!
New is a member of the New Cowboy darts team (darts score 100), in fact she has a long association with New Cowboy, having worked here before taking a few years sabbatical and then returning. She said she could not resist the lure of returning because darts people at New Cowboy are so friendly.
Her favourite meal is Tom Yum Gai (spicy chicken soup) and of course she also likes Som Tam papaya salad especially the Isaan variety (extra spicy and with the addition of tiny land crabs). Surprisingly perhaps, her favourite football team is Buriram United rather than Si Sa Ket’s own team, but Buriram United is after all Thailand’s leading club.
Editor’s Note – To you long time followers asking if the lovely Miss New was featured earlier on DT – the answer is yes. You are correct. Good eye. Her previous article with pics can be found at the following link. – http://www.dartsthailand.com/volume__008.htm | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

For traditional Irish flautist and sound collage or stand alone sound collage.
Duration: 11 mins.
Recorded by Harry Bradley on Shadowplay – Music for Flute and Guitar
You’re about to enter a strange forgotten forest on the outskirts of Belfast City.
Inside the forest you’ll encounter many different flutey creatures, some native to the forest for centuries, other’s more recent imports from foreign lands.
As you begin your journey through the forest you’re greeted first by Japanese shakuhachis.
They call out to you in long mournful tones which create a sense of eerie unease, so you progress with caution through the woods
Soon some quirky fifes and f flutes start sliding up and down the trees, your pace quickens as you move to avoid the cuts of their sharp, rolling tongues.
The further in the deeper the forest gets and you’re soon surrounded by several strange flutey creatures cranning out a cacophony of ornamented calls.
Suddenly the rarely seen Slovakian fujara wails a high pitched scream which penetrates through the din. Another fujara answers it and causes the orgy of sound to subside.
As you move on past the thickest depths of the forest you’re soon greeted by friendlier flutey creatures. The familiar native wooden flutes.
They greet you with the traditional foxhunting call which echoes all around you.
As you edge closer to the other side of the forest the wooden flutes sing out different airs lamenting your departure. They’re sad to see you go and they seem to leave you with a sorrowful whimper.
But just as you reach the last tree in this forest of ornaments they all leap out and surprise you with a joyous, laughing farewell. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
What attracted me to this field of physical therapy and osteopathy is that I played sports much of my life, both GAA and soccer. While I love team sports, there is always the fact that injuries occur, whether it is sprained ankles, pulled muscles or ligament injuries. Two things have developed my understanding of the mechanics of injury recovery. They are: learning to heal from my injuries and working with patients in their journey towards injury recovery and prevention. It has been an incredibly rewarding journey. Each facet of osteopathy I have studied has given me new insights into the body’s ability to recover and heal from injury. So, patient treatments are aimed to restore the normal function and stability of the body’s joints and tissues in order to help the body heal itself. In working with each patient techniques are chosen based on the their individual needs and the symptoms they have reported. Home exercises may also be prescribed to accompany the treatment plan. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Baxley wants results for area
Published 12:00 am Friday, April 21, 2006
If Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley is elected to the state’s highest office this November, she will do everything she can to make west Alabama as vibrant and progressive as the rest of the state, the gubernatorial candidate said Wednesday.
Just don’t look for a press release to inform the state of her success, she added.
“I would never ask people to give me credit for addressing problems just by having a commission and holding some meetings,” Baxley, who will be the keynote speaker at the West Alabama Black Belt Celebration in Eutaw Saturday, said. “I want to be judged by what’s happened: what new roads have been started, what new industry is hiring workers.”
At the celebration – which will bring together leaders and citizens of Greene, Sumter, Perry, Hale and Choctaw counties – Baxley will speak from Eutaw’s Town Square, starting at 1 p.m.
After a lifetime spent in Alabama politics, she is considered one of the frontrunners for the Democratic nomination to be Alabama’s governor.
In addition to thanking Black Belt residents for support that got her elected to statewide offices like state treasurer and lieutenant governor, Baxley said she plans to discuss the “special needs” of west Alabama.
Economically, the Black Belt lags behind most of Alabama, she said, because deteriorating infrastructure makes it unattractive to job-producing industries. Recently, a hotly pursued Kia automobile factory slipped through the fingers of west Alabama and east Mississippi development officials.
Part of the reason, Baxley said, boils down to a
“chicken or egg” problem. Industries demand wide, well-maintained highways to move their merchandise. But often, she said, public highway money is funneled to regions that already boast growing industries.
“It’s like that portion of the state has been tucked away and forgotten,” Baxley said from her Montgomery campaign headquarters. “I’m just not satisfied with patting ourselves on the back with huge new industries in other parts of the state, without making sure we pull all our areas along together.”
Since the governor has executive authority over the department of transportation and the Alabama Development Office, Baxley said, it seems Riley should have more visible results to show off for all the words he’s said about helping the Black Belt.
“I have not had the opportunity to have those authorities that rest under control of the governor; Gov. Riley has had that for last over three years,” Baxley said. “The best way to evaluate what he’s done for West Alabama is to put a value on what’s been accomplished in last three years. If given the chance, I’ll be more action and less study.”
The celebration will take place from 1-5 p.m. on the Eutaw Town Square. The topic of Baxley’s speech will be “Celebrating Excellence in the Black Belt.”

This week's edition of the Mainstream Patient features stories about "botox in a bottle" products, how to treat cystic acne, face positivity, and more.
In this week’s edition, New Beauty explores the best skin care routine for acne-prone and over 50 skin and Vogue lists 9 "botox in a bottle" products. Cosmopolitan explains how to treat cystic acne at home and with a dermatologist and Self reveals the best skin care tips from a dermatologist. Elle discusses face positivity and Allure looks at the difference between botox and fillers.
For many women in their 50s, hormonal acne may send skin back to high school as menopausal breakouts develop in women for much the same reasons that pop up during puberty. Hormone imbalances during menopause affect our skin’s natural defenses and trigger constant acne breakouts. When she’s working with a client experiencing acne, no matter the age group, medical aesthetician Amy Peterson says the first step is the dermatologist’s office.“ You should visit a dermatologist to have your bloodwork done and get to the root cause of your acne and make sure you know what is causing it,” notes Peterson. Once the trigger has been identified, experts say these products and treatments have helped them lead maturing clients to clearer, healthier-looking skin.
Every time we open our TikTok app, we’re inundated with a new beauty trend users can’t stop raving about. While many aren’t worth a second thought, the “Botox in a bottle” videos left us wanting to know more. Though we’re in full support of people heading to an expert for whatever cosmetic treatments suit their fancy, we’re intrigued that there might be a needle-free method right at home. So, we tapped three dermatologists to weigh in.
If you’ve ever gotten cystic acne or an underground blind pimple, you’re probs very familiar with the feeling that is wanting to remove your own skin and borrow some from a baby (was that motivational? Inspirational? Worrisome? Sry—I’m breaking out right now, can’t help). Because cystic zits suck. They do. There’s no making friends with a pimple that throbs when you sleep and aches when you smile, then peaces out three months later, only to leave you with a red or brown splotch that takes half a year to fade.
Growing up as the daughter of a dermatologist, I’ve gotten used to friends, acquaintances, and strangers alike asking me all sorts of skin care questions—from someone I was dating asking me to assess his rash to friends requesting a full review of their skin care routine. Unlike my mom, I didn’t go to medical school, so I’m completely unqualified to diagnose or treat any skin issues, of course. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t gained some secondhand knowledge from being around her.
If I had a dollar for every time someone suggested, unsolicited, that I “fix” my face, I might have amassed enough to fund one of those costly procedures by now. My childhood dentist told me that if I didn’t do something drastic to address my strong jawline, I’d look like Jay Leno by the time adulthood neared. Years later, as an assistant with no health insurance, I was told by another dentist that I “needed” cosmetic jaw surgery. Then there was the makeup artist who, when I arrived on the set of a shoot, promised “we can make your nose disappear!” and proceeded to contour me to the nines. Shamefully, I was so happy with the results that I ended up using the photo as my professional headshot, trying not to let any candid shots slip through the cracks.
Welcome to the wonderful world of injectables. If you're new here: Don't be scared! Yes, there are needles involved. But you might discover that a pinch or two is totally worth it (and more people are doing it than you think). Your first lesson covers the basics: Botox vs. fillers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
