Morton Thiokol and NASA are investigating an apparent short circuit inside the solid rocket booster motor that sent sparks flying and workers scrambling.
The incident occurred Dec. 8, while employees were preparing the booster rocket for a crucial test recently at Morton Thiokol's Wasatch Operations plant in Brigham City, spokesman Rocky Raab said.The 1.1 million pounds of rubbery propellant inside the 14-story boosters is ignited by a charge inside the rocket nozzle that sends a flame down to the rocket fuel.
"There's a heater that fits around the igniter, and the crew had installed and tested the motor when there was an arc inside the igniter," Raab said. Electricity to the test stand was shut off and workers were evacuated.
The igniter, which is made by a subcontractor for the Utah aerospace firm, was redesigned along with an overhaul of the rockets after the shuttle Challenger disaster nearly three years ago.
"It was not a serious problem. It was simply a defective heater. The heater may have to be redesigned," Raab said.
No one was injured and no damage reported to the booster, which will be fired next month in the last test required by the presidential commission that investigated the Challenger explosion.
"No damage was done to the igniter and no damage to the motor" in the mishap, Raab said. The incident does not appear to have an effect on the scheduled firing of Qualifying Motor 8, or QM8, Raab said.
Nor does the short circuit affect the next space shuttle launch in February, he added. "We've already tested those (heaters) before they were put on."
United Press International, quoting anonymous sources, Tuesday reported the problem may have been caused because the heating element had to be bent into its proper position during installation, which may have brought electrical elements into contact.
The redesigned solid rocket boosters were hailed by NASA engineers as the safest ever flown when the shuttle Discovery lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Fla., three months ago. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
MOUNT PLEASANT, Utah — Firefighting officials said they have 15 percent containment on a central Utah wildfire that's burned more than two dozen homes in Sanpete County and is threatening about 300 more.
Gov. Gary Herbert arrived by helicopter Monday at the Wood Hollow Fire, where more than 60 square miles have burned and damage estimates have mounted to $7 million.
"This is going to be a long, hot summer," Herbert said, warning Utah residents that "if you start the fire, you're going to be liable to pay for the fire."
About a dozen of the homes burned in the fire near the central Utah town of Fountain Green are primary residences. The others may be cabins or summer homes, Herbert said.
The losses also include several dozen sheep, although no other injuries have been reported.
More than 1,000 people remain evacuated from the area, Herbert said. Local officials said some of those people may be able to return to their property Tuesday.
Investigators were still trying to determine what caused the fire. So far this year, the state has recorded 402 wildfires, many of them caused by people starting illegal burns or target shooting in drought-wracked areas.
"It's not only frustrating, it's aggravating," Herbert told reporters at a news conference. "We're smarter than that in Utah."
He said costs are likely to mount as the state heads into the primary fire season, when lightning strikes could touch off fires and stretch resources thin.
On Monday, crews were battling a handful of wildfires in other corners of the state:
— In Carbon County's Argyle Canyon, the Church Camp Fire forced the evacuation of more than 100 cabins. The human-caused blaze was sparked Sunday. Crews had no containment on the fire Monday evening and it grew to about 1,000 acres. Authorities said some structures had been destroyed but they didn't know their types or locations.
— Near Saratoga Springs, the 9-square-mile Dump Fire was expected to be fully contained Monday. The human-caused blaze had forced about 2,300 people to flee their homes, but a mandatory evacuation order was lifted late Saturday afternoon.
— In southern Utah, the Quail Fire near the community of Leeds was expected to be fully contained by noon Monday. That blaze led to the evacuation of about 60 homes Saturday, although those orders were lifted later in the day. Two sheds were destroyed, and one person has been cited for starting the fire.
— In central Utah, the 26-square-mile Grease Fire near the central Utah town of Delta was 90 percent contained Sunday. No homes were burned in the human-caused blaze. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
G. Robert LeRicolais Collection (086), Structural Engineer, 1894-1977
Between 1918 and 1943 G. Robert LeRicolais practiced as a hydraulics engineer while pursuing research on the topic which was to occupy him for the rest of his career: structural configurations of “zero weight and infinite span." Le Ricolais’ importance to the field of structural engineering derives mostly from publications on his experimental structures and on his “way of thinking” during twenty years of research at the University of Pennsylvania.
This collection consists of records of Robert Le Ricolais’s academic career at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as professional and personal papers relating to his activity as an engineer and inventor. The collection also contains published writings by other authors about the works of Le Ricolais. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Just hours before a pedestrian bridge collapsed and killed six people at a Miami university, engineers confirmed that cracks in the concrete structure "increased in length daily," according to meeting records released Monday by the Florida Department of Transportation.
The meeting included officials from the state and Florida International University, which was building a pedestrian bridge over a busy roadway when the span fell onto traffic, killing six people in March 2018. Minutes of the meeting were released after previously being blocked as the National Transportation Safety Board investigated the collapse. Cracks found in the span were discussed at length.
"CEI confirmed cracks have increased in length daily," the notes said, referring to the construction, engineering and inspection team.
The Florida Department of Transportation asked FIGG Bridge Group, the company that designed the span, "Are you going to continue to figure out why it happened?"
"FIGG responded that all we 'know is that it just happened,'" said the notes taken by the university.
FIGG went on to say that there was no concern about the safety of the span and that nothing should be done about repairing the cracks until after construction of the back span. The construction and inspection team still raised concerns, saying, "it wanted more eyes on this and that the more eyes on this, the better. FIGG concurred."
Hours later, the 174-foot-long (53-meter) span fell onto traffic flowing on a busy highway beneath the bridge.
While the state released the records, it said it wouldn't comment further until after the NTSB finishes its investigation.
"We support full transparency by providing all documents related to the March 2018 tragedy that impacted the South Florida community and our entire state," said Transportation Secretary Kevin Thibault in a news release. "Lives were lost and other lives have been changed forever, and we know these families, as well as the citizens of Florida, deserve answers and want closure."
Last week the now bankrupt construction company that built the bridge and its insurers reached an agreement to pay up to $42 million to surviving victims of the collapse and the families of those killed.
The deal between Magnum Construction Management and the insurance companies involved the six killed and eight injured survivors. More than 20 other defendants are being sued by victims and they will have to reach their own deals with their insurers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered by Gotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art Of Living. This non-sectarian technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation.
Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion.
The scientific laws that operate one's thoughts, feelings, judgements and sensations become clear. Through direct experience, the nature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering or frees oneself from suffering is understood. Life becomes characterized by increased awareness, non-delusion, self-control and peace.
Since the time of Buddha, Vipassana has been handed down, to the present day, by an unbroken chain of teachers. The current teachers in this tradition were appointed by the late Mr. S.N. Goenka, who was Indian by descent but was born and raised in Burma (Myanmar). While living there, he had the good fortune to learn Vipassana from his teacher, Sayagyi U Ba Khin, who was at the time a high Government official. After receiving training from his teacher for fourteen years, Mr. Goenka settled in India and was authorised by Sayagyi to begin teaching Vipassana in 1969. During his life he taught tens of thousands of people of all races and all religions in both the East and West. In 1982 he began to appoint assistant teachers to help him meet the growing demand for Vipassana courses. Before he passed away in 2013, he left behind a comprehensive system for training and appointment of future teachers in the tradition.
The technique is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants follow a prescribed Code of Discipline, learn the basics of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results.
The course requires hard, serious work. There are three steps to the training. The first step is, for the period of the course, to abstain from killing, stealing, sexual activity, speaking falsely, and intoxicants. This simple code of moral conduct serves to calm the mind, which otherwise would be too agitated to perform the task of self-observation. The next step is to develop some mastery over the mind by learning to fix one's attention on the natural reality of the ever changing flow of breath as it enters and leaves the nostrils. By the fourth day the mind is calmer and more focused, better able to undertake the practice of Vipassana itself: observing sensations throughout the body, understanding their nature, and developing equanimity by learning not to react to them. Finally, on the last full day participants learn the meditation of loving kindness or goodwill towards all, in which the purity developed during the course is shared with all beings.
The entire practice is actually a mental training. Just as we use physical exercises to improve our bodily health, Vipassana can be used to develop a healthy mind.
Because it has been found to be genuinely helpful, great emphasis is put on preserving the technique in its original, authentic form. It is not taught commercially, but instead is offered freely. No person involved in its teaching receives any material remuneration. There are no charges for the courses - not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. All expenses are met by donations from people who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the opportunity to benefit from it also.
Of course, the results come gradually through continued practice. It is unrealistic to expect all problems to be solved in ten days. Within that time, however, the essentials of Vipassana can be learned so that it can be applied in daily life. The more the technique is practiced, the greater the freedom from misery, and the closer the approach to the ultimate goal of full liberation. Even ten days can provide results which are vivid and obviously beneficial in everyday life.
All sincere people are welcome to join a Vipassana course to see for themselves how the technique works and to measure the benefits. All those who try it will find Vipassana to be an invaluable tool with which to achieve and share real happiness with others. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The authors used the results of single dipstick urinalysis to determine which participants had proteinuria during their medical examination. The patients provided urine samples early in the morning after fasting the night before their appointment.
Healthcare professionals used urine test strips to detect and measure protein in their urine. They quantified proteinuria based on this scale: negative, trace, 1+, 2+, 3+, or 4+. Patients who tested negative had no protein in their urine, while a 4+ score indicates the highest level of proteinuria.
The participants were monitored from the beginning of their first annual exam until December 31, 2015, or their death. Approximately 725,000 all-cause deaths occurred during this period.
Uncovering the Link Between Proteinuria and Mortality
The study reveals a significant association between people with proteinuria and all-cause mortality. Patients with trace proteinuria had a 21% higher risk of mortality than people with negative proteinuria, and the risk for people with 1+ proteinuria was 46% higher. In addition, people with 3+ and 4+ proteinuria had more than twice the mortality risk.
Participants without obesity and with 1+ or higher proteinuria had the highest risk of all-cause mortality. Additionally, the risk of all-cause mortality increased by more than two-fold for people with metabolic diseases who had 1+ or higher proteinuria.
Detect Proteinuria With At-Home Urinalysis Test Strips
Proteinuria can be a sign of many health conditions and even, as this study suggests, be a predictor for all-cause mortality. Stay proactive with Diagnox protein in urine test strips. This affordable and simple test allows you to detect the presence of protein in urine so you can perform at-home screenings. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the bustling landscape of digital marketing, startups are continually seeking strategies to stand out, attract customers, and gain a competitive edge. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) often emerges as a crucial factor in the success of a startup. While some may overlook its significance in the initial stages, understanding the role of SEO can significantly impact a startup’s growth trajectory.
What is SEO?
SEO encompasses a series of techniques and strategies designed to improve a website’s visibility and ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs). It involves optimizing various elements, including keywords, content, and technical aspects, to enhance a website’s relevance and authority in the eyes of search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
Why is SEO Crucial for Startups?
Enhanced Online Visibility
For startups aiming to establish their online presence, SEO acts as a beacon. It helps potential customers find your business amidst a sea of competitors. By optimizing your website’s content and structure, SEO increases the likelihood of appearing at the top of search results, thereby boosting visibility and attracting organic traffic.
In the realm of marketing strategies, SEO offers a cost-effective approach for startups with limited budgets. Unlike paid advertising, SEO focuses on organic traffic, reducing the reliance on paid promotions while consistently generating leads and driving conversions.
Building Credibility and Trust
Ranking high in search results fosters credibility and trust among users. When a startup consistently appears in relevant search queries, it signals authority and reliability, thereby instilling confidence in potential customers.
While SEO requires consistent effort and time, its effects are long-lasting. A well-executed SEO strategy continues to yield results over time, providing a sustainable flow of organic traffic and leads.
SEO allows startups to target specific demographics, locations, or niches. By optimizing for relevant keywords and creating tailored content, startups can attract the right audience, increasing the chances of conversions.
Implementing SEO for Startups
Identify relevant keywords related to your industry, products, or services. Tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, or Ahrefs can assist in uncovering valuable keywords with adequate search volume and low competition.
Create compelling and informative content that aligns with user intent. Consistent publishing of valuable content not only attracts visitors but also establishes expertise and authority in your niche.
Optimize website elements such as title tags, meta descriptions, headers, and images. Ensure the website is user-friendly, mobile-responsive, and has fast loading times.
Acquire quality backlinks from reputable sources within your industry. Building a network of backlinks enhances your website’s authority and credibility in the eyes of search engines.
Analytics and Monitoring
Regularly monitor website performance using tools like Google Analytics. Analyze metrics such as traffic, bounce rate, and keyword rankings to refine your SEO strategy.
In conclusion, SEO holds immense importance for startups striving to carve their niche in the competitive digital landscape. By investing time and effort into a well-structured SEO strategy, startups can significantly boost their online visibility, credibility, and ultimately, their business growth.
Remember, SEO is not a one-time task but an ongoing process that evolves with search engine algorithms and user behavior. Embrace it as a fundamental pillar of your startup’s marketing strategy to achieve sustainable success in the digital realm.

Mixergy’s Andrew Warner recently interviewed Blank-Label.com‘s co-founder Danny Wong. This clip discusses Danny’s frustration with trying to acquire the domain BlankLabel.com
Full interview with video and transcription can be found at Mixergy. [Note: Danny was Skyping in from China so the audio clip is a little funky.]
Danny calls the owner of BlankLabel.com both a ‘squatter’ and an investor. Using the real estate analogy, a squatter would be someone living in a house someone else actually owns. The person who owned the house might be a ‘slum lord’ but nevertheless, anyone can see he’s holding the property as an investment. So sure, in my opinion, the guy who registers Gooogle.com would be a squatter- looking to profit from someone else’s property, but the guy who owns BlankLabel.com (and 29,000 other dot coms) is an investor. The problem seems to be that when people’s passions around building a business are involved, they lose sight of the fact that domain names are simply another product a market grew up around. That some domains are available at registration price somehow allows people to imagine buying the domain they want at that price. Well, you can get a house in Detroit for next to nothing! It might have all the pipes and wiring ripped out, but the city is giving them away in hopes people will move in. That doesn’t make anyone think the house in Beverly Hills should be free does it?
(Click the arrow to hear the clip) Is a Hyphen Worth $15k?
PS $15k seems like a lot, but it’s all relative. IMO it would be worth maxing out a few credit cards or doing another round of friends and family to get the domain. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In 1979, Yvan and Yves Desmarais founded, with their cousin Serge Gagné and backed by their mother Gisèle, the company D & G Inc. http://www.dg-inc.qc.ca/. The company is specialized in Welding and assembly. After some modest beginnings in their home garage, D & G Inc. gains a solid reputation based on its integrity and the quality of its workmanship.
As the years pass, the company invests in new technology with the purchase of welding robots and in 1996, they move in a new 60,000 square feet plant. A couple of years later, the company invests again; this time, 1.5 million dollars is invested in the purchase of high technology machinery for sheet metal transformation.
Yvan Desmarais, the company’s vice-president, has always been fascinated by aviation. A pilot since he was 19 years old, he nurtured a dream which he transmitted to his business partners. His dream was of a highly secure plane; be it on wheels or on floats. A plane that would be solid, durable and easy to build.
With more than 20 years expertise in manufacturing and with Yvan’s flying experience on many different aircrafts, the construction of the first prototype began in 1998. The first flight was done at the Bromont airport on May 12th 2001 with great success. Following this first flight, many more are accomplished in the month and with the necessary flying hours accumulated by June 7th 2001, the special flying certificate can be delivered. On October 3rd 2001, the first flight on floats is accomplished, again with great success. But work has now only begun. Back from those successful flights, the second prototype is now taking form. The dream continues... | | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Avoid Muscle Soreness After Exercise By A Full Body Massage In Dubai
Now, people in Dubai would like to take much more exercise than before. Muscle soreness usually occurs after the initial exercise or overwork. After intense sports training or competition, the athlete's nerves, body fluids, circulation, breathing, digestion, metabolism, and acid-base balance will undergo tremendous changes. These changes temporarily disrupt the body's environmental balance.
But it quickly reached a new balance, and this new balance usually marked the improvement of the body's working ability. So in order not to affect our actions the next day, what better way can help us improve muscle soreness after exercise? Here is how to do a full body massage in Dubai to avoid muscle soreness after exercise for your reference.
As we know, in the process of reaching the balance between the various functional systems of the internal environment, there are sometimes sluggish links. The general manifestations include: mental hypertension, insomnia, muscle tension, fatigue, etc. Massage after exercise can promote the elimination of these phenomena, accelerate the internal environment to reach a new balance, accelerate the improvement of the ability to exercise load, and accelerate the completion of the preparation for the subsequent exercise load.
Relax after exercise
After exercise, you can lie down on a sponge mat or rattan mat and rest for a while. When lying down, the position of your feet should be slightly higher than the head or level with the head. Never lie on the ground with moisture. After a short rest, you can perform a headstand or a handstand against a wall. The time is 3-10 seconds, which can be performed once, which is beneficial to the blood circulation of the lower limbs and the heart. Then step on the limbs, step first, pat the thigh or upper arm, and then step on the calf or forearm.
Full body massage after exercise: usually once a week. After training, rest for 1-2 hours or after continuous time. It is best to do it in a warm, quiet room after a warm bath. You can lie comfortably in the direction of blood and lymphatic drainage for massage. Use Japanese Shiatsu Massage and other methods, from heavy to light. At the same time, massage according to the fatigue of each part. If the massage is about to fall asleep, the massage should be stopped and the quilt can be gently covered to prevent a cold. After waking up, you will feel full and comfortable
Exercise plan should be reasonable
For example, downhill exercise can relieve muscle soreness caused by downhill exercise. By showing that after exercise, the amount of exercise that originally appeared for muscle soreness can replace the symptoms. On the other hand, the head massage in Dubai is good for health.
Local warming and rubbing drugs
Soaking in warm water after exercise can relieve muscle soreness. Local application of oils, pastes or rubbing agents can also relieve pain.
Stretching muscles can relieve pain
This kind of muscle stretching exercise also lays the foundation for preventing strain during exercise. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

After last year’s huge success, this limited-edition barista creation for Vertuo is back once again, available from 1st September 2021
The UAE’s love of pumpkin spice coffee is both real and unwavering! Autumnal leaves may not fall, and temperatures may not dip below zero but rest assured coffee lovers will once again jump onboard with this massively anticipated coffee roll out. Nespresso’s limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Cake launched in October 2020, and it flew off the shelves, so this year the capsules go on sale on Wednesday 1st September, available while stocks last.
Pumpkin Spice Cake is a blend of caffeinated and decaffeinated roast and ground coffee. It is an indulgent and smooth Arabica blend from Ethiopia, and Latin America, with a wide range of spice notes such as cloves, cinnamon and cardamom, and underlying flavor of sweet pumpkin. A dash of milk will make Pumpkin Spice Cake more mellow and sweet, with buttery and biscuit notes, delivering a milky and spicy cup.
A delicious recipe that perfectly complements this coffee’s distinctive flavour is White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice, a wonderfully sweet creation that starts with two tablespoons of white chocolate sauce in the bottom of a mug, froth milk and add to mug. Brew the Pumpkin Spice Cake directly into the mug and finish off by drizzling with caramel sauce or more white chocolate sauce.
Nespresso’s flavoured coffees are created by adding carefully selected natural flavourings and meticulously blending them with the highest quality coffee beans to create indulgent blends. These three flavoured coffees are all based on blends which use coffee sourced from farms part of the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program.
Pumpkin Spice Cake Coffee is available for Vertuo machines only and can be purchased in all Nespresso Boutiques in the UAE, online https://ae.buynespresso.com/ or by calling 800NESPRESSO (800 637773776) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
‘Synchro Sound System & Power’ features the music of Nigeria Fuji Machine, which includes some of Nigeria's finest ‘Fuji’ master drummers and singers, and is newly recorded by Soul Jazz Records in Lagos.
Fuji is the heavily percussive and improvisational style of Nigerian popular music, at once modern and yet deeply rooted in the traditional Islamic Yoruba culture of Nigeria.
Here on this album Nigeria Fuji Machine’s striking and powerful lead vocalist Taofik Yemi Fagbenro soars above a wild and energetic backdrop of polyrhythms played on traditional talking drums, trap drums, electronic and street percussion to create a powerful wall of intense sound.
Fuji is hi-energy street music, heavily percussive which evolved out of the Islamic celebration of Ramadan, which became a major event in mid-20th century Lagos. Groups of young men walked through Muslim neighbourhoods at night singing improvised ‘wéré’ music to the accompaniment of pots, pans, drums, bells and anything else available, waking believers for the early morning prayer. By the early 1970s this music had crossed-over into popular Nigerian culture where it came to be known as Fuji, first made popular by the artist Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, as the music began to be performed commonly at parties and social events.
In the 1970s and 1980s three Nigerian artists – King Sunny Adé, Chief Ebonezer Obey and Fela Kuti – all secured international major record deals bringing popularity to the Nigerian musical styles of Juju (Adé and Obey) and Afro-Beat (Fela Kuti’s unique mixture of highlife, funk and jazz) abroad, but in the process ignoring much of Nigeria’s rich musical landscape. Fuji is, alongside Highlife, Juju, Afro-Beat, Sakara, Afro-Reggae, Waka, Igbo rap, Apala and numerous others – one of these central styles of Nigerian music.
The singer Barrister described the music as follows: ‘Fuji music is a combination of music consisting of Sakara, Apala, Juju, Aro, Afro, Gudugudu, and possibly Highlife.’ Juju performer King Sunny Adé described the difference between the two styles of Fuji and Juju somewhat competitively thus: ‘Fuji music is more or less like my music without guitars. It’s like I’m singing in a major key and they are singing in a minor. The music itself is the music of Juju music.’
Today Fuji remains a powerful popular music with deep and powerful Islamic roots which continues to modernise and attract new generations of young Nigerians and Nigeria Fuji Machine’s ‘Syncho Sound System & Power’ is a powerful and intense musical experience. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

One of the earliest forms of commercial brewing involved the creation of breweries based on or near farms where barley was grown. The addition of a brewery made sense economically, not just for adding value to the crop but for providing employment year-round. In summer, when fermenting beer in open vessels would be prey to insect life, brewing ceased and brewery workers became farm hands. After harvest they became maltsters and brewers once more.
Saison is a so-called ‘farmhouse’ style of beer, which survived in various forms in southern Belgium and parts of Eastern France. It would be brewed in the Spring for consumption by the workforce toiling in the fields in summer, for hydration, and likely some regular strength beer was held back for consumption between Harvest and beers from the new season becoming available.
Being stored in sealed oak tuns for up to six months was not enough time for slower acting yeast like Brettanomyces to bring proper ageing, but other microorganisms will have had time to bring enough rustic edge to be noticeable.
Saison Légère (Light Saison)
The beer made to rehydrate workers toiling on the fields on hot summer days was likely so light (2.5-3.5% ABV) that it may well have been made from second runnings, the wort produced when boiling water is sparged through spent grain. The dry version from rural Hainaut, which has a prominent hop character, likely has a completely different history from one with a sweet base of unfermented sugar, from Liège and other parts of 19th century Belgium’s industrial belt.
This copper-blond ale style (5.5-6.5% ABV) is dominated by a hop-yeast combo that fuels grass and hay aromas, and encourages flavours that capture rurality in a bottle. In modern times its fortunes changed in 1975 when the most appealing of the heritage brands, the recently reformulated Saison Dupont, made with five types of yeast at a brewery based within a cute-looking farm in rural Hainaut, caught the attention of early beer writers and US importers. This spawned a new generation of Saison beers, held by some to have influenced the whole American beer revival.
Recent years have seen the emergence of a swathe of beers (4.0-6.5% ABV), described as Saison, employing a narrow range of specially cultured yeast and intricate production rules to create a slightly musty, occasionally frankly acidic beer that has taken on a life of its own. Many have little in common with the 21st century Belgian classics, though some are good enough to spark some optimism and a sort of cultural exchange between this and the Belgian version is becoming obvious.
A fad for adding fruit extracts to Craft Saison is fading (thankfully!), having distracted from rather than adding to the style. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Warp Drive Brings F-Zero-Style Racing With Cel Shaded Visuals To Switch Next Month
I'm giving her all she's got, captain!
Supergonk (a publishing name that always gives us a giggle) has announced that its latest racing title, Warp Drive, will be coming to Switch on 1st December, 2022, and in this one, you're supposed to take the short cuts.
The studio brought us Trailblazers back in 2018 - a strange racer-meets-Splatoon-type game where you painted the track as you drove around it - and now it has set its sights on another beloved Nintendo classic to combine with its racing formula. F-Zero is clearly the inspo behind this one, with the karts hovering around their futuristic setting and making all kinds of wizzes and bangs as they go.

The Capitol Hill allure of David Bernhardt’s former law-and-lobbying firm has grown during his time in the Trump administration’s Interior Department, the agency he’s now been tapped to lead.
Bolstered in part by new resource-related clients, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP reported 2018 lobbying revenues totaling $30.9 million. That marked a 19 percent increase over the reported $25.1 million in 2016, the last year of the Obama administration.
The firm’s 2018 lobbying revenue held second place among all lobbying firms, as tallied by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, behind the perennial powerhouse Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP. Akin Gump reported a 4 percent increase from 2016.
"Where business, law and politics converge," Brownstein’s website proclaims, adding that "Our deep experience, multidisciplinary approach and political connections deliver results."
There are many reasons for Brownstein’s lobbying growth, which has been steady and reflects in part the addition of tax-related clients and others outside of resource issues.
But nevertheless, the value of Bernhardt’s connections is likely to play a role in his Senate confirmation process as he aims for the Interior secretary seat left vacant by the departure of former honcho Ryan Zinke.
Bernhardt’s allies consider his prior work as seasoning, the kind of solid experience that will let him hit the ground running.
"David Bernhardt is knowledgeable about the independent producers that operate on federal lands and we look forward to working with the department on new ways to continue growing our economy," said Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) President and CEO Barry Russell. The IPAA was one of Bernhardt’s clients while he was with the Brownstein law firm.
For Bernhardt’s opponents, though, this client list is a litany of conflicts (Greenwire, Dec. 17, 2018).
"We intend to conduct vigorous oversight of Mr. Bernhardt’s industry ties and how they may influence his policy decisions," promised Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee.
Bernhardt withdrew from his law firm partnership following his 2017 confirmation as deputy Interior secretary. Last year, he reported receiving a $401,579 partnership distribution from the firm for part of 2017. He previously reported receiving a $953,085 partnership distribution for all of 2016.
New clients Brownstein added during the Trump administration include the Cannabis Trade Federation, Central Arizona Water Conservation District, Colorado River Energy Distributors Association, and New Mexico Oil and Gas Association, among others.
Delaware North, a Buffalo, N.Y.-based company that manages national park concessions, hired Brownstein in December 2017. In September, electric utilities firm Exelon Corp. did the same. Both companies employ other lobbying firms, as well.
Based in Bernhardt’s home state of Colorado and well-established throughout the West, the Brownstein firm opened a Washington, D.C., office about two decades ago. Its clout-heavy staff now includes a former Republican Cabinet secretary, a former chief of staff for a GOP House speaker and an array of former top congressional staffers from both parties.
The 49-year-old Bernhardt served several stints with the firm, representing a variety of clients both as lawyer and lobbyist.
Following an earlier Interior gig during the George W. Bush administration, Bernhardt was a shareholder at the law firm from 2009 to August 2017. The George Washington University Law School graduate was also an associate at Brownstein from 1998 to 2001.
"The nominee’s private sector experience as a registered lobbyist for companies whose main public policy focuses are in the Department of Interior creates the appearance of a conflict of interest, and the nominee wants to help lead the department that he’s tried to sue four times," Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) said in 2017.
Bernhardt, though, can point to his public ethics commitment.
"For a period of one year following my withdrawal, I … will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter involving specific parties in which I know the firm is a party or represents a party, unless I am first authorized to participate," Bernhardt declared in May 2017, several months before his confirmation.
The Brownstein firm declined to comment today. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dr. Theodore Rockwell pointed out that nuclear energy will be very important for humanity for climate change from all sources. Many scientists consider the main sources of climate change to be the sun and other natural sources. This is an outstanding student paper. It advocates employing nuclear energy for many serious challenges for humanity, nature and the environment, not just man-made carbon dioxide.

IS YOUR MIND IN A TRAP? Part 1.
Do you consider yourself a “free-thinker, a person who holds your own opinions and a person who can change your opinions and mind whenever you want?
Do you consider that you have formed your own values, beliefs, and attitudes after careful thought?
If you do you must be the only living person in that category!
We all hold beliefs, opinions, and values from which we develop attitudes, prejudices and perceptions. Where do all these come from?
Many of these things are unconscious and deeply ingrained. They have been formed from influences operating since our childhood. Many are not helpful, but all are unconscious – at least to begin with.
Some people may develop the awareness to stand back and look at what is in their mind, and then have the choice to change beliefs which are dictating attitudes and behaviour, and their life direction.
But if you don’t have this awareness you may never think about why you compare yourself unfavourably with others. You may not understand why you feel jealousy and envy regarding the achievement of others compared with your own.
You may never realise that a good thing about comparing yourself with others is that instead of reacting with a feeling of jealousy, you could learn from them, and possibly improve your own performance.
You may not be aware that your own parents displayed jealousy or envy regarding the achievement of others, and therefore put them down in order to feel better about themselves. It’s very likely you learned this behaviour from them without even knowing it.
If you find yourself thinking “I can never be happy unless I can have X Y or Z” because you really believe that you must have x y or z to be happy, then you need to challenge this belief, because many of our deeply held beliefs may be erroneous or will not work in your favour.
For example, if you have been brought up to have negative expectations about your ability, this belief can act as a self-fulfilling prophecy and hold you back in life.
So what to do?
Some quick tips
- Notice what demands you have on life, e.g., “I must have this or that” in order to be…”
- Be aware of any beliefs which can lead to a negative and self-fulfilling outcome. (I’ll never be any good…” or similar)
- Think outside the box. I moved to a new house with a garden that had a large, ugly shed. I thought and thought about how I could include the shed (the box) to make it attractive or useful. Then I thought, “Get rid of the box!” I didn’t really need the shed stuck right in the middle of the garden, so I spread the word, and got someone who wanted a shed to take it away. Problem solved.
- Maybe you have a box of beliefs that are blocking you from doing something useful or creative – get rid of them. Get some help if necessary.
- Getting rid of negative or non-useful beliefs takes time, effort and awareness but you can do it.
- Try and work out where these unhelpful beliefs came from. For example, did they come from your father or mother, or some other significant other?
- Ask yourself “Am I repeating this attitude, prejudice, or behaviour because I learned it from my mother?
- Write a list of unhelpful beliefs, noting where they may have originated.
- Ask yourself “How would I be thinking, feeling or behaving if I didn’t act on these beliefs? (NB you may have these beliefs but not act on them)
- Ask yourself would I be happier, less anxious, or manage my life better if I didn’t have them? The answer is usually yes.
Your beliefs, attitudes and values control your mind and your behaviour, your opportunities, options and your future.
These beliefs and attitudes may have controlled you in the past, but by being aware of them you now have a choice not to take them with you into the future.
See part 2 – Getting some more helpful beliefs going. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Plastic surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures, from simple injectables to complex surgeries. There are many different types of plastic surgery, each with its own unique benefits and risks. Here are some of the most common types of plastic surgery with Dr. Peter Driscoll
Breast augmentation: Breast augmentation is a procedure that involves using implants to increase the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. This can be done for cosmetic reasons or to correct asymmetry or deformities.
Liposuction: Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, and buttocks. It can be a great way to contour the body and achieve a more proportionate appearance.
Rhinoplasty: Rhinoplasty, or nose job, is a procedure that reshapes the nose to improve its appearance or function. This can include reducing the size of the nose, correcting a deviated septum, or improving the angle of the nose.
Dr. Peter Driscoll It can also address cosmetic issues such as a bump on the bridge of the nose, a wide or bulbous tip, or asymmetry. Recovery from rhinoplasty is typically one to two weeks with some swelling and bruising that subsides within 5-7 days. Most people are able to return to work after a week but should avoid strenuous activity for at least six weeks. The results of rhinoplasty can be seen almost immediately and are permanent, though some swelling may persist for several months. It is important to communicate with your surgeon about expectations before surgery so that the desired outcome is achieved.
Facelift: A facelift is a surgical procedure that addresses signs of aging in the face and neck, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and jowls. It can provide a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Tummy tuck: A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles. It can help to create a flatter, more toned appearance in the midsection. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Archie’s mandibular distraction went very well. We went with him to the OR at about 1.30pm and met some of the operative team which included anaesthesiologist, ENT doc, plastic surgeon and nurses. Although we left him there about 1.45pm, surgery didn’t start until 3.30pm owing to a scheduling backup and the fact that they didn’t give him a central line but administered all the drugs through IV.
In the meantime, we took a walk around Westwood Village and came back to wait in one of the NICU waiting rooms. At about 5.45pm he was wheeled back to the NICU and we met with Dr James Bradley again, who told us that everything went well, that the pre-op bronchoscopy/laryngoscopy showed that everything was fine from the ENT point of view and that the distraction device was in place.
The anaesthesiologist also told us that everything went fine and Archie was a particularly easy case for her as he was on no other meds. She didn’t even give him a paralytic, just the anaesthetic and pain meds. So now he is on Fentanyl to control the post-op pain. He’s still on an IV tonight and into tomorrow, although the attending paediatrician told us he’ll be feeding again tomorrow (through his NG tube).
I’ll spare you the post-op pics, although it is a pretty neat job with minimal swelling. He has suture lines under each side of his jaw and screws that come out behind his ears. Over the next 10 days or so, those screws will be turned every morning and evening for a total travel of 2mm per day. Osteogenesis is very fast in newborns! After the 10 days, he’ll have the external hardware removed and the internal supports will stay in for another couple of months until the bone mineralises, at which point they can be removed in a simple outpatient procedure. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

As the electric Expert is also based on the PSA Group’s EMP2 platform, the technical data of the drive corresponds to those of the Opel Vivaro-e and Citroën Jumpy. Two different battery sizes (50 and 75 kWh) are offered, which should enable WLTP ranges of 200 and 300 kilometres respectively.
Peugeot has not yet provided any information on the load volume or payload capacity – not even whether the values are at the level of the combustion variants or are somewhat lower due to the battery.
Like Citroën and Opel, Peugeot has also not yet given any prices for its electric transport van. Instead, the manufacturer refers to the complete electrification of its own commercial vehicle fleet in the corresponding press release. “Following our partners Electric and Boxer Electric, we are now also presenting the Expert as a fully electric version. We now offer all light commercial vehicles with electric motors,” says Steffen Raschig, Managing Director of Peugeot Germany. “In total, we are already offering eight Peugeot models with electric motors.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

How Joe Biden could save lives and change American politics on his way out the door
Published 2:42 pm Tuesday, November 5, 2024
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
BY THOMAS L. KNAPP
Wait, what? We’re talking about Joe Biden? Why? He’s a “lame duck.” No matter who wins the US presidential election on November 5, he’s going home to Delaware on January 20. His chances of asking for, and getting, much from Congress during that two-and-a-half month interregnum are negligible.
But as head of the US government’s executive branch, what he can do is follow the laws, no matter how loudly Congress howls, absent Supreme Court intervention in support of criminal behavior.
He won’t do it now for fear of harming Kamala Harris’s chances versus Donald Trump, but once the votes are in he’s free to follow his conscience … if he still has one after decades in politics, where a conscience is a liability.
The laws I’m speaking of are Section 620M of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2378d), which applies to the Secretary of State, and its Department of Defense analog, 10 U.S.C. 362, informally known as the “Leahy Laws.”
Those laws, according to the US State Department Fact Sheet on them, prohibit “the U.S. Government from using funds for assistance to units of foreign security forces where there is credible information implicating that unit in the commission of gross violations of human rights.”
Evidence that Israeli units have committed, and continue to commit, gross violations of human rights in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon isn’t just credible, it’s overwhelming.
Israeli forces have killed at least tens of thousands, and more likely in the 200,000 range, in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and Lebanon, since last October. Most of the dead are non-combatants, many of them children.
Israeli forces have been caught red-handed in numerous atrocities, from bombing hospitals and refugee camps to anally raping male prisoners with metal rods. Israeli politicians openly defend and encourage even that last one.
There’s no doubt whatsoever that Israeli forces are committing gross violations of human rights … and it is therefore illegal for the US government to provide one thin dime of military aid or assistance to those forces. Period.
Why hasn’t Biden already ordered the Secretaries of State and Defense to stop writing checks and shipping weapons to Israel?
Because Israel has a powerful political lobby in the US. Anything less than complete and unquestioning obedience to Benjamin Netanyahu’s every demand is a “third rail” … for politicians who face re-election.
Biden doesn’t face re-election.
And these days, the Israel lobby’s support goes mostly to Republicans. Its main intervention on behalf of Democrats is meddling in primaries to ensure “pro-Israel” Democrats get nominated in “safe” Democratic seats.
At some point, there’s going to have to be one of those “national conversations” over whether it’s really in the interests of the United States to unstintingly support a violent, atrocity-prone, ethno-supremacist regime.
That conversation is unlikely to go Israel’s way. But it has to be started by a figure of national stature who needn’t worry about re-election.
If Biden does possess a conscience, or even just desires a big “legacy” accomplishment, he’ll cut the Israeli regime off come November 6.

Forty-five years ago, psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted a series of famous experiments on obedience and authority that tested individuals' willingness to administer electric shocks to a test subject under the direction of an authority figure. This paper discusses how Milgram's work on human psychological tendencies can be used to address subordination of judgment and other ethical issues in financial accounting and reporting, including accounting for income taxes. The teaching approach described relies on readings, videos, and mini-cases to give students an appreciation for the role of organizational influences on ethical decision making in today's accounting world. This teaching approach is innovative in its use of social psychological theories to address accounting ethical dilemmas, and its incorporation of contemporary international financial reporting standards and tax reporting issues into the ethics debate.

After serving out 3 years of a 10 year sentence in Evin Prison, Iranian cultural activist Aras Amiri Larijani was acquitted by the Supreme Court of the charges against her.
According to HRANA, the news agency of Human Rights Activists, quoting the Emtedad, Amiri is a student at Kingston University and former employee of the British Cultural Council.
Aras Amiri has been acquitted after enduring three years of her ten-year prison sentence. Ms. Amiri had previously been sentenced to 10 years in prison by the Revolutionary Court of Tehran and the sentence was upheld by the Court of Appeals.
She was arrested by security forces in September 2018 after being summoned to the Evin Courthouse, and was transferred to the women’s ward of the prison two days later.
In May 2019, Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran, headed by Abolghasem Salavati, sentenced Ms. Amiri to 10 years in prison and two years of social deprivation, including bans from work and leaving the country after serving ten years in prison.
The accusation was labeled “espionage” by a spokesman for the judiciary in the public media. This sentence was upheld by the Tehran Court of Appeals in August 2019 in absentia and without the presence of a lawyer.
A grad student in Philosophy of Art, Amiri had been in organizing joint art exhibitions and festivals between Iranian and British artists and had collaborated with the British Council.
Amiri’s family member had previously told the media that Aras Amiri’s cultural interactions were coordinated and supervised by various deputies of the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This violence was perpetrated by a private actor – the applicant’s ex-partner – and was reported to the police on a number of occasions. The applicant claims that the state authorities failed to protect her against such violence and that the police refused to institute criminal proceedings in connection with the allegations of abuse and battery against the perpetrator.

Microsoft Server 2008 End Of Life
If you’re still running Windows Server 2003 or running Hyper-V on a Windows Server 2008 R2 platform, it’s time to start planning your migration process. Why?
On January 14th, 2020, Microsoft will be ending support for Windows Server 2008 R2 altogether.
It’s vital that you make plans for migrating away from this soon-to-be unsupported technology as soon as possible. Updating your environment is a big task and many IT companies are going to be booked up by the time the deadline is here.
All three available editions of Windows Server 2008 R2 will be unsupported once the deadline is reached. This includes:
Windows Server 2008 R2 is tightly integrated into the day-to-day operations of many organizations, which means the end of support is bound to result in quite a bit of disruption. Microsoft will offer extended support after the deadline if you’re willing to pay for an extended security plan, however, it’s more cost-effective in the long-run to simply complete the migration process.
What Should You Be Doing To Prepare?
The simplest course of action is to start planning your move to a newer system:
- Upgrade to a newer version of Windows Server/SQL Server: This is a good choice if you’re looking to remain on-premises, but remember, there isn’t a direct upgrade path without performing a clean install, which means you’ll need to upgrade to Windows Server 2012 first to preserve settings.
- Migrate to Microsoft Azure: Microsoft Azure, the cloud computing service offered by Microsoft as a modern alternative to their older server operating systems. In addition to protecting you from an unsupported operating system, upgrading to Microsoft Azure will offer a number of benefits, such as three additional years of Critical and Important security updates at no additional charge, as well as the many features of Microsoft Azure.
Need Expert Assistance With your Migration Plan?
Whether you like it or not, End Of Life is a natural part of the IT life cycle. You have to learn to live with it.
No matter what hardware or software you use, eventually it’ll reach the end of its life. Every Windows operating system has a lifecycle. It’s important that you stay up-to-date about essential End-of-Life dates.
This will help you make informed decisions about when to upgrade or make other changes to your software or hardware. Furthermore, we will help you make informed decisions about when to upgrade or make changes to your other software or hardware.
If you need help in managing End Of Life, allow us to assist – our team can assist in building a plan for migrating.

Most of the time, patents and their associated licensing agreements fly under the radar. Sometimes, exceptional cases come up and parties end up battling it out in court. AMD is the latest to join the fray, leveling patent infringement complaints to the United States International Trade Commission. According to the complaint,LG, MediaTek, VIZIO , and Sigma have all infringed upon 3 different patents held by the company.
All three patents are related in some way to graphics processors. Patent 7,633,506 deals with rendering a large amount of graphics data to a frame buffer. Patent 7,796,133 deals with specialized circuitry dealing with textures. Patent 8,760,454 is likely the most critical as it deals with the unified shader architecture that most if not all modern GPUs are based on.
These patents are alleged to be infringed upon by various smartphones, TV displays, and other graphics hardware. This dispute is likely due to the various parties being unable to come to a satisfactory licensing agreement as it appears Samsung has licensed them already. For now, AMD is seeking that the infringing devices be banned from import and a cease and desist given. At this stage of the process, its hard to tell what the final result will be but a settlement with some licensing deals signed is generally the most likely outcome. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

As an American, the thought of enduring another terrorist attack is always lingering in the back of our minds. The thought of another world tragedy is something one always has to be prepared for. Terrorism is defined as: the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. The Olympic games were created to promote unity and peace between different nations. However, during the 1972 Munich Games a Palestinian militant group named Black September took the Israeli national team hostage. After a 16-hour standoff, every member of the Israeli national team was killed as well as members from the Black September group. In the next few paragraphs I will go into detail about the different aspects of terrorism. .
As I stated before, terrorism is defined as the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce. There are two categories of terrorism, which are domestic and international. Domestic terrorism is characterized as groups whose activities are conducted in the United States without foreign influence. Their activities are aimed at the United States government or population. International terrorist are groups of foreign individuals who perform activities against the United States. Terrorist groups are also either non-state supported, state-supported, or state-directed. Non-state supported groups receive no funds from a government, while state-supported groups are usually independent; they still receive support from governments. State-directed groups are considered agents of a government; they receive "intelligence, logistics, and operational support from the sponsoring government" (Section 4, n.d). .
The United States will always be a main target for terrorist groups. "The greatest terrorist threat to the United States today comes from fundamentalist Islamic extremist groups" (Section 4, n.d) who will stop at nothing to hurt the United States again. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Genetics is a confusing topic for most people. Whereas genetic counselors have had years of education, many receiving postgraduate degrees, the general population typically learns about genetics through articles, documentaries, podcasts, webinars, family members and basic discussion during biology class. Often, this disjointed information becomes like jigsaw pieces in an elaborate puzzle that overwhelms individuals as they try to put all the pieces together.
This complicated subject becomes even more complex when we’re diagnosed with an inherited genetic mutation. Not only do we need to get our facts straight and understand our options and outcomes, but we also need emotional support, validation and empathy from others.
Traditionally, we would bring family or friends to our healthcare appointments to help us gather information and ask questions, but with Covid as the new normal, now we must often navigate this process on our own. If we’re lucky, we may have a telehealth consultation and include members of our support systems; however, this convenience also adds a new barrier to the patient/provider relationship.
Now imagine you learn that you have a high-risk mutation but you have limited access to support or factual information about it. Anxiety increases, making it difficult to sort out any new information you manage to find. Sleep could be affected, negatively impacting general health and wellness. Fear of the unknown can also be debilitating, resulting in the inability to determine how best to proceed.
Unfortunately, for members of the Deaf community, this experience is far too common. Hospitals and healthcare organizations often don’t know that they have a responsibility to provide an interpreter or they don’t have access to qualified healthcare interpreters. Genetics is such a complex topic that the interpreter must have an understanding of what is being shared about diagnoses and protocols. Healthcare professionals may resort to using friends or family to provide interpretation, which often leaves the Deaf person with large gaps in information or worse, with misinformation. This also makes it more difficult for the accompanying person to fully support their loved one. Instead, they have to focus on making sure that both of them understand everything that is being said. In addition, now that masks are commonplace in healthcare settings, people who previously relied on lipreading as an additional tool for understanding are left without access to facial expressions and other nonmanual bits of communication.
While there is no single solution to these challenges, measures can be taken to improve access for members of the Deaf community. It starts with education and training—for healthcare providers, interpreters and Deaf individuals:
- Healthcare professionals should know their responsibilities to ensure effective communication. Writing back and forth to communicate or asking a family member to interpret are not proper or sufficient accommodations. While on the surface these may seem appropriate, what typically happens is the translation is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Healthcare professionals should use everything in their toolboxes to creatively communicate with their Deaf patients. For instance, employing a combination of techniques (e.g., using interpreters and communicating by writing and using graphics/pictures) creates a holistic message.
- Interpreters can earn continuing education units (CEUs) while broadening their knowledge via workshops on genetics and other specialties affiliated with genetics such as oncology, women’s health and plastic surgery options.
- Deaf individuals can expand their understanding of hereditary cancer through the use of qualified interpreters. Access to webinars, support groups and one-on-one counseling is crucial to understanding and ensures that Deaf patients’ access to information is equal to individuals who can hear.
Together we can improve healthcare for groups who have historically been marginalized and often left out of their healthcare decision-making.
Note: FORCE has resources for the Deaf community, including our ABCs of Genetics video with American Sign Language translation (ASL). We are also offering Virtual Support Meetings in ASL. Contact us to learn more about support programs in Sign Language.
Debbie Lesser is a Previvor who volunteers with FORCE as a Peer Navigator. She is a certified American sign language interpreter and Manager of Medical Interpretation Services for a large healthcare system in Atlanta, GA. Debbie enjoys combining her passion for serving people and her experience as a FORCE volunteer to improve access to healthcare for the Deaf community. She believes that knowledge can empower people to make decisions that are right for them. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
50 Years of GreCon: Fire Prevention for the Food Industry
GreCon is celebrating 50 years – and with it, the success of our preventive fire protection systems that stop fires before they start! This significant milestone pays tribute to all who have accompanied us on this journey over the decades.
What began as a technological driver for the wood-based panel industry has evolved over the years into a wide range of fire protection solutions and customised protection concepts. GreCon has successfully advanced its knowledge and technology, adapting them to other industries.
"The principles of preventive fire protection are universal, but each industry’s specific requirements always demanded individual adjustments. What began in the wood-based panel industry quickly gained traction in other sectors, such as the food industry, due to compelling safety arguments," recalls Ralf Steiner, who has worked at Fagus-GreCon for 24 years and is an expert in application technology.
According to Steiner, it was primarily operators of animal feed production facilities, where the tonnage is similar to that of the wood industry, who were the first to recognise the value of automatic spark detection and extinguishing systems. "Preventive fire protection was already a topic in the food industry back then – although not to the same extent as in the wood-based panel sector." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Beef Vegetable Soup In A Jar Gift Idea
"There really is so much to love about the season like the snow, a warm fire, and snuggling under a lot of blankets with a nice cup of tea. There is also a lot to dislike as well. I start out enjoying the cold weather but that quickly fades as the cold and snow continue, making it feel like winter will never end. The cold weather can also bring on sickness. Usually, that means when one family member gets sick, our entire family does eventually."

There are oodles of award programs today, offering all sorts of "national" awards to help promote your book. I've mentioned before that it's worth looking into nominating your book for several awards. BUT, and it's a BIG BUT, know the program/research the program before sending along your hard earned money. And yes, most of these awards require a "nominating fee." Paying a fee does not mean the program is bogus, indeed, many well-known programs charge hefty fees. For example, the very prestigious 'Children's Choices' Awards, co-sponsored by The International Reading Association and The Children's Book Council was charging $300/book for nominations from publishers who were not members a few years back (I don't know what they charge now). But I can tell you from personal experience that that $300 was worth every penny when I won as the sales that came after winning were substantial.
What prompted me to write this post? I just received an email from a relatively new award program (I think this is the second year it's been offered). I'd already received a "Nominate Your Book Now!" email. This email was actually looking for judges. Huh? You mean you've got an award program, are soliciting submissions (and money!) and don't have enough judges??? Apparently, if you can read, you're qualified to judge. The instructions said, in part, "Just select your favorite category and you will get XXX to read and evaluate" (I removed the text that would identify this program.) Do you really want to send your hard earned money, and your book, to Bubba Smith, who may have never reviewed/judged a book before in his life? Not me. I've seen too many of these contests where the placings are bizarre to say the least. I've also reviewed quite a few books that won Bubba's Award - or one similar - and have to wonder how that book ever won an award.
So, nominate your book, but before you nominate, research!!! See what others have to say. Ask about such awards, search out the winners and get a feel for the sort of books that win. You can also check out the websites of the award programs. No website? No way, run away! I know one well-known award, but NOT well-respected, that gives EVERY book an award. Check their website and you'll catch on quickly. Lots and lots of winners, and hey, they match all the books that were nominated. Wow, that's something to be proud of, huh? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Are you worried about Cicadas?
Brood XIX, or the Great Southern Brood, is the largest periodical cicada brood, stretching across the southeastern United States – and they are coming this year. I am seeing a lot of people online worried about their garden plants. From what I understand billions of cicadas are set to appear in a rare ‘double brood emergence’ this year.
Cicadas can have a damaging impact on trees when they lay their eggs.

When you see models on the television, most times you envy them, on the almost perfect body they have, you sometimes think and wish you could get such body. People often think that most models go through a lot, especially when it comes to eating. They feel they could take a lot of drastic measures to maintain the type of body size they have, which includes dieting and taking pills. Some even feel that, most models go to the extent of eating and throwing up for them to have a good body posture, these ideas people have about models and their feeding habit isn’t always true.
1. Food philosophy of a healthy model
You can adopt the feeding philosophy of a healthy model, you don’t have to diet or throw up after eating or even take pills. You just have to eat healthy, make clean eating part of your life style since you love food, try as much as possible to learn about food that are really healthy for your body. Eat a lot of balanced diet and incorporate a lot of vegetables and fruits in your diet, avoid junk and a lot of processed food.
2. Try a model’s diet
Some models diet in an unhealthy way while, others diet in a very healthy way. If you wish to diet like a healthy model, ensure you avoid sugar, asides the natural sugar that comes with fruits and vegetables. Avoid starchy foods and eat more vegetables and meat. Also avoid gluten and wheat and reduce your intake of diary products. Natural yogurt and cottage cheese are advisable because they are low in lactose.
3. Go ahead and eat what you love
Since you love food so much and still wish eat like a model, go ahead and eat what you love but keep it moderate. Don’t take ice cream everyday because, that is what you love, you can take healthy ice creams but occasionally, it should be taken once in a while and in a moderate quantity.
4. Health benefits
When you follow these steps and eat healthier and cleaner, you will lose body fat and have less fluid retention and body inflammation. You will also notice that your cravings for unhealthy food will drastically reduce.

I am a full fledged born and raised Californian. There is no other place I would rather live - but I love to get outta here and travel to other places to visit for short periods of time! My style is fun photojournalistic mixed in with a light and bright feel. My favourite time to shoot is just before sunset - pretty much anywhere outside but I love shooting at the beach. Let's take a stroll through California and capture some memories!
I am a portrait and fashion photographer, vintage clothing enthusiast, and Bruce Springsteen fanatic. I love meeting new people and making new friends. My style of photography is very colourful and has a photojournalistic style. I love capturing genuine smiles! My work has been featured in Snap Knot Wedding Blog, Adore Magazine, the San Francisco Chronicle, and others.
I am a portrait and event photographer currently based out of Los Angeles. Most people would describe me as very energetic and enthusiastic... and I can't say I disagree. My style is full of movement and authentic moments. I give as much direction as you need, but I always start out the shoot by giving directions through actions and movement that help me capture the real moments you want to remember forever. Apart from lifestyle photography, I do a lot of portraiture as well as fashion photography. I have taken photos at hollywood premieres too; I may or may not have photographed Kim Kardashian!
I love capturing memories in a warm, genuine, and candid style! I'm passionate about authentic moments, traveling, and the outdoors. Planning the perfect surprise proposal is my favorite thing! I combine a candid, prompt-based style of photography with some posed moments to create your perfect photo session.
I love natural shots with natural light. I always play with the light and background to have the best photos. Most of the time I photograph weddings and lifestyle in a photojournalistic way, capturing your emotions and happy moments. I also photograph boudoir, which requires some posing. I can always help you have the best poses for a natural result. I have been published on French wedding blogs such as " Blog de Madame C" and " Un Beau Jour."
I am a big ol’ nature lover, and my happy place is exploring the outdoors with my husband, dog, and son. My heart is most full while hiking, camping, road-tripping or sitting around a campfire with my favorite people 🏕️ I love documenting couples and families in a way that is timeless, natural and threads all of the heartfelt moments together in a beautiful visual story. My photography has brought me all over the world for work in places like Romania, Scotland, Norway, Mexico and all over my favorite spots close to home like Los Angeles, Palm Springs and Joshua Tree.
We’re Taya and Ion, a husband-and-wife team of passionate photographers based in Los Angeles, California. We love capturing life’s most beautiful moments. With a shared love for storytelling through the lens, we bring fun, relaxed, and creative energy to every shoot. Our photography style is all about capturing genuine, candid moments that feel timeless and full of emotion. We specialize in natural, relaxed sessions, focusing on the connections between people. Our work has been featured in magazines like MARIKA, GMARO, and VIGOUR, highlighting our storytelling through vibrant images. Together, we bring creativity and technical expertise to ensure every shoot is fun and memorable. We’re passionate about turning your special moments into lasting memories! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
If you own a commercial kitchen, you’ll no doubt know, your kitchen exhaust, flue and kitchen hood are important pieces of equipment that contain mechanical fans. These devices have been created to not only remove heat but remove moisture, any toxic fumes, airborne grease as well as steam and smoke. All of which are byproducts of cooking.
While some kitchens have regulations stating kitchen exhausts are required, others do not and find themselves with a flue alone. This may not be an issue for some, with some commercial kitchens working perfectly fine with just a flue. What is an issue however is a lack of kitchen deep cleaning on a regular basis. In fact, these are significant risks when it comes to a lack of cleaning for kitchen exhausts, flues and in fact, the kitchen as a whole.
The Risks – What You Need To Know
If you’re wondering whether regular deep cleans of your commercial kitchen is worth the expense, here are the risks you could face without them:
Risk of fire is one of the greatest hazards associated with a poorly cleaned kitchen. Greasy kitchen exhausts can pose huge risks when it comes to flash fires. Not only could this damage what is undoubtedly very costly equipment but it can also pose a danger to life for those working in the kitchen as well as anyone dining in the restaurant. It’s also worth noting not only the costs involved should your kitchen catch fire but the potential problems you could face trying to get insurance cover afterwards along with potential lawsuits from individuals that may have been injured.
Dirty kitchen flues, kitchen hoods and other areas are very often viewed as health code violations. This can and often does result in inspection failures. More often than not, you’re given a certain amount of time to get the kitchen ‘up to code’ however, if needed, your local authority may be able to enforce a total shut down until your kitchen is adequately cleaned and able to pass the inspection. Consider loss of sales and reputation along with this too.
It isn’t just the kitchen equipment or food standards that could be at risk when you don’t utilise regular kitchen deep cleans, it’s also the health of your workers. Proper ventilation is provided by kitchen exhausts. If these aren’t maintained correctly, your employees (and customers) health is at risk. Air quality becomes poor, unwanted grease begins to drip onto prepared food and even the dishes on which you wish to serve them. The kitchen may even find itself filled with potentially toxic aromas.
Kitchen ventilation systems are there to allow for proper ventilation throughout the kitchen and prevent build up of toxic smoke and/or grease. However, it should be noted that when it comes to the proper disposal of grease and other kitchen byproducts, the responsibility lay with the owner of the kitchen. By using a professional commercial kitchen ventilation cleaning company, you are employing someone who will adhere to these environmental laws and dispose of the aforementioned byproducts accordingly; this will in turn ensure you’re meeting environmental standards, helping you avoid potential fines.

I was excited to try this recipe as I have lived in China and enjoy spicy foods. Unfortunately, this recipe disappointed. To me it tasted like spicy water thickened with cornstarch. Maybe the amounts of cheese, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger need to be increased? They are relatively small, considering there is over a quart of liquid.

I live in a wooded hillside area of Los Angeles where it feels like being out in the country. I grew up in Rhode Island, and came to LA after graduating from URI. I recently retired from my job as an environmental specialist. So now I have time to collect internet recipes. My hobbies & interests are aquatics, shell collecting, my cats, feeding stray cats, home improvement projects and cooking.
I love to travel and, years ago, lived in Mexico for several months. My favorite cookbooks are the ones written by Diana Kennedy; they are all great; and I have them all, some signed by her when I was enrolled in her cooking classes. I have a lot of cookbooks; some of my other fave authors and their books are: Madhur Jaffrey (especially World Vegetarian, World of East Vegetarian Cooking and A Taste of the Far East), Faye Levy, Martha Rose Shulman (especially Mediterranean Light, Provencal Light and Mexican Light) and Paula Wolfert. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A padel court is a specialized sports facility designed for playing padel, a racquet sport combining elements of tennis and squash. Originating in Mexico, paddle tennis courts differ from traditional tennis courts in that they are smaller, enclosed by glass and metal mesh walls, and feature a unique playing surface and layout that encourages fast-paced, dynamic play. This article explores what a paddle tennis court is and why it is important.
A standard padel court measures 10 meters wide and 20 meters long, with walls surrounding the perimeter. The court is divided into two halves by a net, similar to a tennis court, but the presence of walls allows for unique gameplay elements such as rebounding shots.
There is a net in the middle of the playing court, dividing the court in two. The highest point of the net is 88 cm in the middle and 92 cm on either side. There is a line in the middle of the two courts and another line three meters from the back wall marks the serving area.
Played in doubles, the game is similar to tennis but on a smaller, enclosed court.
Padel uses the same scoring system as tennis: 15, 30, 40, and game points. A match consists of three sets, and a set is won by the first team to reach 6 games with at least a 2-game lead. If the set reaches 6-6, a tiebreaker is played. The first team to win 7 points in the tiebreaker wins the set.
Serve must be underhand and bounce once on the server's side before crossing the net.
The ball may bounce off the walls but must stay within the court boundaries.
Players switch sides after each odd-numbered game.
Padel is fast-paced, emphasizing teamwork, strategy, and agility.
Padel has seen an exponential rise in popularity worldwide, especially in countries like Spain, Argentina, and Mexico, with increasing interest in other regions such as Europe and the Middle East. This growth underscores the importance of having well-constructed padel courts to accommodate the sport's expanding fanbase. According to the International Padel Federation (FIP), the number of Padel players globally has surged, necessitating the development of more courts to meet the demand.
The design and quality of a padel court significantly impact the player experience. A well-maintained court with the right dimensions, materials, and surfaces ensures that players can enjoy the game to its fullest. Proper courts also contribute to player safety, reducing the risk of injuries that might arise from poorly designed or maintained facilities.
Padel courts are essential to the growth and enjoyment of padel as a sport. With various types to suit different climates and preferences, these courts provide a platform for players to engage in a fun, dynamic, and inclusive sport. As Padel continues to grow globally, the importance of high-quality courts will remain paramount in supporting the sport's expansion and success. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
GREENVILLE COUNTY, SC. - A mother from South Carolina was arrested after entering an elementary school without permission where she says she was just trying to confront her son's bullies.
The interaction soon got emotional, and according to a police report as well as the Greeville County School District, Jamie Rathburn was seen yelling at a group of kids and a teacher.
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office said Rathburn entered Greenbrier Elementary School without permission and began yelling at a class of third-grade students, pointing her finger in a threatening manner.
Beth Brotherton, director of communications for the Greenville school district said that Rathburn had admitted she did not know who the bullies were, but Rathburn insists she did.
Brotherton said there had been several isolated incidents between Rathburn's son and fellow classmates but she said it was nothing that would constitute bullying, which she defines as repeated behavior by a specific individual or specific group of people.
"Maybe in her mind she was going there to confront a bully or a couple of children, but in not knowing who those were and choosing to yell at dozens of innocent kids, there is nothing appropriate about yelling at other people's children's in a school setting after you've snuck in illegally," Brotherton said.
According to Brotherton, some of the specific incidents involved another classmate making faces or telling Rathburn's son that his haircut was "silly," but Rathburn insists the treatment of her son was closer to harassment.
"He was told that he was ugly, that he was stupid, nobody cared, and he was called gay, he was cussed out, and when he reported those things he was told to ignore it," Rathburn said.
She says that these incidents continued to occur over the course of the school year and eventually became violent, saying that he was thrown off a ladder slide by his neck and even hit with a computer.
She said that her son had scratch marks on his neck as well as bruises and when she tried to show the principal, they did nothing. The school district, however, insists Rathburn's allegations are simply a case of "boys playing rough."
"There were several different students over the course of the year who he did not get along with or weren't the nicest kids in the room or said something unkind," said Brotherton.
The child who allegedly threw Rathburn's son off the slide was disciplined according to the school's disciplinary guidelines, Brotherton said.
On the day of her arrest, Rathburn had posted a video a Facebook live video where she said she was on her way to give the school a "piece of her mind," which prompted a "concerned citizen" to inform law enforcement.
"I just want to make it clear that our employees were not responsible for pressing charges," said Brotherton.
Rathburn has since sincerely apologized for her behavior but says she was just fed up with how her son was being treated.
She said the school had isolated her son from the rest of the class for her son's safety but felt it was retaliation for her behavior and persistence in trying to get the school to do something about the bullying.
"I understand what I did was wrong. Like I said, I don't condone it. I don't recommend it. I wish I could change it. I can't change it though, the only thing I can do is apologize, because that is sincere, and try to push forward and put the spotlight on what the real issues are, and that's bullying," Rathburn said.
Rathburn is currently on a no trespassing notice in which her son will not be able to return to Greenbrier Elementary School but will still be allowed to attend another school in the district.
"Anyone who chooses by their own admission to illegally sneak into a school building, yell at a hallway full of 8 and 9-year-old children, and curse an elementary school teacher in front of those children is going to get put on a no trespass notice and not be allowed back into the school for the rest of the year," said Brotherton. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
RACINE, Wis. - A 39-year-old Racine man faces multiple charges following a collision with a motorcycle on Monday, May 30. The accused is Jaime Garcia – and he faces the following criminal counts:
- Hit-and-run, great bodily harm
- Operating while intoxicated causing injury, 2nd offense
- Vehicle owner's liability for failing to stop at accident scene, hit-and-run
According to the criminal complaint, Racine officers were dispatched to the scene of a collision between a car and motorcycle on just before 5 p.m. on Monday, May 30. A witness indicated a three-wheeled motorcycle was traveling west on 16th Street in Racine approaching Taylor Avenue. The witness say another vehicle turned left to proceed north on Taylor, "failing to yield to the motorcycle, colliding with it," and then leaving the scene after the collision "without stopping to render aid or check on the injured motorcyclist."
Officers say when they arrived on the scene, the motorcyclist was unconscious -- and suffering from obvious injuries.
A second witness to the collision followed the offending vehicle, the complaint says. It ended up in the area of 17th Street and Deane Avenue where it pulled into a business. The complaint says the witness partially blocked "the driveway to prevent the vehicle from leaving, but it backed out also striking (the witness') vehicle."
Officers later spotted a vehicle matching the description of the striking car. It was in an alley off Deane. The complaint says the defendant entered the alley. When questioned by police about what happened, Garcia stated "he was in an accident, but claimed the 'other guy ran a red light.'" Garcia told police "he did not have plates on his vehicle so that's why he left and did not report the accident. When asked if he checked on the operator of the motorcycle, Garcia stated he did not," the complaint says.
The officer noted that Garcia "appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. Garcia claimed he had two beers after the accident," the complaint says. During field sobriety tests, the complaint says "Garcia exhibited signs of impairment."
Garcia made his initial appearance in Racine County court on Tuesday, May 31. Cash bond was set at $7,500. Garcia is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on June 8. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Adam Gilchrist reveals pick to open the batting for Australia in the Ashes
Adam Gilchrist believes Marcus Harris has “got the frontrunning” on his rivals to open the batting alongside David Warner for the upcoming Ashes.
Harris hit 137 in the second innings of Victoria’s Sheffield Shield opener against NSW last week after being dismissed for just nine runs in the first innings. He has also impressed in English county cricket for Leicestershire.

Harris has the added experience of opening for Australia in their Test series against India last summer as well.
With the 29-year-old knowing what it takes to open the batting for Australia, Gilchrist believes it swings the selectors’ minds in Harris’ favour.
“He’s gone away and played some cricket overseas and certainly started the Shield season well, as has a number of batsmen,” Gilchrist told NCA NewsWire.
“I would assume given that he’s opening for Victoria and in their last Test 11, he’s got the frontrunning.”
Harris’ main rivals for the opening spot appear to be Will Pucovski, Usman Khawaja and Travis Head.
Despite each member of the challenging trio having their own qualities, a number of mitigating factors are holding them back.
Pucovski recently sustained a concussion while training for Victoria — the 10th concussion of his career — and is suffering from lingering effects.
Gilchrist notes Pucovski needs to play some cricket before he’s even considered for selection, although “that seems to be proving more challenging each time he tries”.
As for Khawaja and Head, they have both posted centuries for Queensland and South Australia respectively in the Sheffield Shield, but there’s one issue Gilchrist believes is ruling the pair out of the running to open with Warner.
“Usman’s runs that he, and even Travis Head, has scored have been in the middle order,” Gilchrist said.
“I would think that they would be trying to trust an opener in the form of Harris to get in there before they resort to the other guys.”
The first Ashes Test begins on December 8 at the Gabba in Brisbane.

“Perhaps that is the best way to say it: printed books are magical, and real bookshops keep that magic alive.” - Jen Campbell,
With a name like "Moon Palace Books" you might expect something a little mystical and magical. In which case you might be surprised by this Longfellow Neighborhood treasure (3260 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55406). The exterior of this small shop is bright and whimsical, wedged between Minneapolis gems Peace Coffee and Trylon Microcinema.
The interior immediately wraps you in a warm lavender hug. Bright lights and a soft industrial feeling make for an unfamiliar setting for a bookstore, but I have to admit I was smitten. For such a small space they have maximized their book-selling capacity.
Moon Palace is a testament to the idea of small neighborhood bookstores. Owners Angela and Jamie Schwesnedl opened shop when independent bookstores were on the decline and the ominous shadow of Amazon was starting to take hold of the market. Not only did Moon Palace thrive, it was soon bursting through the seems of its original home and needed to relocate to a larger space. Last year more than 60 volunteers and devoted fans helped them move over 10,00 books (by hand!) to their new location.
Their loyal customer base is not misguided. Though this was my first visit to Moon Palace I will definitely be going back. Every type and genre of book seemed to be represented. I was impressed, and incredibly tempted, by their large collection of cookbooks. Most small bookstores tend to either be aimed just at kids or have a tiny corner in the back of the store for the under 18 crowd, not Moon Palace! Their kid and Young Adult sections are prolific and surprising. There were more than just #1 New York Times Best Sellers to be found which I appreciate since the YA market is so saturated right now.
As an unapologetic graphic novel nerd I always make sure to take note of a Bookstores selection of comics. Moon Palace did not disappoint. They had a large and diverse selection of comics and graphic novels. There were classic stand-by's as well as some excitingly bizarre picks like a ginormous graphic novel adaptation of Beowulf (I WILL be going back for that).
For local folks, Moon Palace hosts numerous book clubs all worth checking out in their own right. For example the Trylon microcinema Book Club where participants watch the film adaptations of the books they've been reading and then discuss. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner.
Father being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt and trousers.
Other diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm.
After he finished eating, his son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took him to the washroom,
wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed his hair and fitted his spectacles firmly.
When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in dead silence,
not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that.
The son settled the bill and started walking out with his father.
At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him,
“Don't you think you have left something behind?”.
The son replied, “No sir, I haven't”.
The old man retorted,
“Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for every father”.
The restaurant went silent. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
