Defenses key as Ohio State hosts Michigan
Published 12:21 am Monday, November 21, 2016
The Associated Press
The stage is finally set for Michigan and Ohio State, and if their most recent work is any indication, points will be hard to come by next weekend at the Horseshoe.
The Buckeyes edged Michigan State 17-16 on Saturday, and then the Wolverines had problems of their own in a 20-10 victory over Indiana. What enabled Ohio State and Michigan to persevere was their defenses — specifically their ability to limit the passing game.
“Coming around this time in November, wins are hard to come by,” Ohio State linebacker Chris Worley said. “We’ll take any win that we can.”
The Buckeyes stayed at No. 2 in Sunday’s AP Top 25 , while the Wolverines moved up a spot to No. 3.
For a while this season, it looked as if Ohio State and Michigan might both be undefeated heading into the regular-season finale Saturday at Ohio Stadium. Both teams ran into roadblocks, however. The Buckeyes lost at Penn State on Oct. 22, a defeat that could keep Ohio State out of the Big Ten title game even if it wins next weekend.
Michigan, meanwhile, lost at Iowa on Nov. 12 and had to play backup quarterback John O’Korn against Indiana because of an injury to Wilton Speight. The Wolverines (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten) managed only 59 yards passing against the Hoosiers, and Ohio State (10-1, 7-1) had just 86 against Michigan State.
So the defenses may be a step ahead in Saturday’s matchup. Ohio State and Michigan are ranked 1-2 in the nation in passing efficiency defense, and Michigan is No. 1 in total defense and scoring defense.
The Wolverines are led by Jabrill Peppers, who roams as a linebacker, drops back as a slot cornerback and blitzes from the line. He also gives the defense a vocal and demonstrative leader.
“I’m kind of the energizer bunny,” Peppers said after the win over Indiana.
The Wolverines also have an outstanding cornerback tandem in Jourdan Lewis and Channing Stribling. They rotate eight players on a deep and talented defensive line, which makes a lot of big plays but has struggled at times to stop running backs and quarterbacks from running to the outside and up the sideline.
That could be an issue against Ohio State running back Mike Weber and quarterback J.T. Barrett, both of whom rushed for over 100 yards against Michigan State.
The Buckeyes, meanwhile, feature a secondary that’s stellar in its own right, with cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore and Gareon Conley and safeties Malik Hooker and Damon Webb making it tough for opponents to throw. Ohio State has returned a school-record six interceptions for touchdowns this season.
What hurt the Buckeyes against Michigan State were big plays. In the first minute of the game, they allowed a 64-yard touchdown to LJ Scott on a catch-and-run. Later in the first half, Scott broke free for a 61-yard run that set up a field goal.
“Come out next week playing kind of flat, giving up some runs like that, you obviously won’t win like that,” Ohio State defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis said. “I give credit to Michigan State. That’s a very, very good team, very physical team. You just have to correct the little things.”
The Spartans also had some success on the ground late in the game, scoring a touchdown with 4:41 remaining on a run by Scott. But Michigan State’s 2-point conversion attempt failed, leaving Ohio State up by one, and when the Spartans got the ball back at the end, they were in their own territory and tried to pass. The result was a sack and an interception by Conley to seal the Buckeyes’ victory.
A little while later, Michigan wrapped up its low-scoring, run-heavy game against Indiana on a blustery day with strong winds and snow. Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh sounded nostalgic.
“It felt like an old-fashioned slobberknocker,” he said.
Next weekend’s matchup might look and feel like one, too.

Wondering what lymphatic drainage massage is and what it can do for your skin and body health? Here’s everything you need to know!
What is lymphatic drainage?
Your lymphatic system has a huge impact on your skin and body health as it is a crucial part of your immune system. The lymphatic system is made up of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and fluid, and when working properly, the system is in charge of sustaining favourable bodily immune processes. It also helps eliminate your body’s waste and carries white blood cells that help prevent infection. However, if there is an obstruction, fluids can build up in your lymph system and lymph nodes. This is where lymphatic drainage comes in.
Lymphatic drainage is a specialised type of massage that aims to improve the movement of fluid within our lymphatic system. This massage works by moving the accumulated fluid from swollen places to lymph nodes, where it can be re-circulated. Lymphatic drainage can do wonders for your body’s health, but it can also transform your skin. By incorporating facial lymphatic drainage into your beauty regimen, you can combat skin issues like puffiness, dull complexion, and skin irritation.
What are the benefits of lymphatic drainage?
If you are looking for ways to improve your skin and body health, lymphatic drainage is an excellent option. It offers a lot of health benefits, including:
- Accelerated lymphatic flow
A lymphatic drainage massage speeds up the absorption and transportation of lymphatic fluids in the body.
- Reduces bloating
Trapped fluid in your body is a major cause of bloating. Lymphatic drainage accelerates the movement of stagnant fluid and helps reduce bloating.
- Reduced swelling
Do you wake up with a puffy or swollen face? Lymphatic drainage can decongest your tissues and reduce swelling and puffiness.
- Faster recovery
Doctors often recommend lymphatic drainage treatments pre and post-surgery as these help your body prepare for the surgery and speed up the recovery process.
- Eliminates toxins
The massage stimulates the lymph vessels of your lymphatic system to remove waste products, bacteria, viruses, excess proteins, excess fluid, and any other unwanted substances from your body.
- Prevent sagging of skin
Reduced functioning of dermal lymphatic vessels is associated with sagging of skin. You can combat this issue with the help of a lymphatic drainage massage, as it makes your skin firm.
- Minimises the appearance of cellulite
Lymphatic drainage treatments can help minimise the appearance of cellulite as they reduce the amount of fluid that presses up against the cross-hatched fibres beneath your skin.
- Improves your complexion
Are you struggling with dull skin? Lymphatic drainage can help. It helps to clear away toxins below the skin surface. If practised regularly, it can transform your skin. Lymphatic drainage promotes blood circulation, smoothes the features, and gives you a youthful and radiant complexion.
What are the risks associated with lymphatic drainage?
Lymphatic drainage is generally a safe procedure. However, you may experience a few side effects, including:
- Increased urination
How often should you go for lymphatic drainage?
If practised regularly, lymphatic drainage can significantly improve your skin and body health. But how often should you go for lymphatic drainage? For best results, we recommend lymphatic drainage from once per month to once per week.
Who should avoid lymphatic drainage treatments?
If you are dealing with any of these conditions, you must avoid lymphatic drainage treatments:
- High risk of blood clots
- Congestive heart failure
- An active lymphatic infection
- Swelling with no known cause
Where to go for lymphatic drainage?

There’s not a lot of coherent narrative flow going on in my life right now, and so, to reflect that, here are some random observations for you.
1. My granddad used to tell the story of the boy who made a penny each day by not spending a penny to ride the bus, but running behind it instead. We made a fortune on the weekend by not buying a house. That’s how it works, isn’t it? I’m a little bit sad because we did get somewhat emotionally invested in the place, only to have it sell before auction. But it went for way more than it was worth. The buyers got ripped off. And the kitchen was stupidly small and in the wrong place. Bad, dumb house. With the best backyard ever, but still. Bad dumb overpriced house.
2. I am high on paint fumes. The window frames of our flat are being painted, by the slowest painters in history. My baby will probably be born with two heads. But then they do say two heads are better than one.
3. May Blossom is being extremely two at times. Many of those times are when she decides to snatch a toy from another kid. Hilariously, she shouts ‘SNATCH!’, then bounces angrily on her toes, going nowhere for a few seconds, before she lunges, which is a dead giveaway and leads to much failure and frustration from her attempted toy raids.
4. My husband takes nice pictures at night. (See above.) I am so tired at the moment that I don’t even know when these were taken. He could be leading a double life after I fall asleep, for all I’d know. In response to that, he would say ‘I’d like the time to lead a double life.’ Wouldn’t we all.
5. For the first time in my life I have low iron. This may have been a contributing factor in why I fainted halfway through the premiere of the play my brother-in-law is starring in at the moment. It was mortifying. I realised I was going to either throw up if I stayed seated, or faint if I stood up. I chose to get the hell out, in a lying downish position. Iron tablets it is.
6. I am trying to do my US tax (I have dual citizenship so I have to file two tax returns). I hate tax. This is how prefer to deal with tax:
If I can’t see tax, tax can’t see me.
My mother, who is the Patron Saint of Making Her Kids Do Their Tax Before They Get Carted Of To Tax Prison Island (that’s a real place, isn’t it?), spends a lot of time trying to convince me that my method (above) is not as efficient as her method (doing the tax in a timely fashion and without high drama). I’m not convinced yet. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Dr. Zev Farber
About The Event:
When Israel undergoes a famine, King David learns that the cause is Saul’s slaughter of the Gibeonites “out of zealotry for Israel and Judah” years earlier. This is not the only slaughter we hear about regarding Saul. And yet Saul was the first king of Israel, chosen by God and Samuel, and was the person most responsible for putting Israel on the map as an independent power. How do we understand the fuller picture of the man? The connection between Saul’s successes and his downfall may be his fundamentalism.
About The Speaker
Dr. Rabbi Zev Farber is the Senior Editor of TheTorah.com and a Research Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute. His newest book, The Bible’s First Kings: Uncovering the Story of Saul, David, and Solomon (co-authored with Avi Faust), is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press.

The Great Resignation hasn’t been so great for not-for-profit organizations. As many for-profit businesses — particularly in traditionally low-wage industries — have raised pay and hiring incentives, nonprofits have lost staffers. According to a New York Times analysis of Current Population Survey data, nonprofit employment in November 2021 was 4.8% below its prepandemic level, compared to 1.5% lower in the for-profit sector.
To replace lost employees or add people to staff growing operations, you’ll need to up your recruiting game.
Sell your organization
Employers have traditionally looked to job applicants to sell themselves, but the roles have flipped. These days, applicants may have multiple offers to choose from. So nonprofits must learn to market their organizations to potential hires.
It’s up to you to make candidates understand just how exceptional your team’s work, the specific position and your workplace’s culture are. Fill them in on the first projects they’ll encounter, as well as your organization’s goals, so they can envision themselves on the job.
You may need to expand your usual search channels. It’s not enough to post on industry job boards. Leverage social media and employee referrals. Consider veterans, individuals with disabilities and formerly incarcerated people trying to rebuild their lives. (Some of these may earn you tax credits.) And look internally for employees ready for promotion or with high potential.
Find quality candidates
When screening and interviewing, look for evidence of passion, such as previous volunteer work in your organization’s area. Ask where else candidates are interviewing, or at least the types of organizations they’re approaching. Candidates who’re attracted by your mission and programs may be willing to accept lower pay for a job they’ll love.
To determine how serious applicants are about a position, monitor their level of engagement. How quickly do they respond to your emails, calls or messages? Have they done their homework on your organization’s successes and challenges? Do they have questions for you? You’re generally better off finding a committed cultural match and cultivating the necessary skills than vice versa.
Keep current staffers on board
Of course, hiring is only part of the battle — you’ll also want to keep great staff on board. In fact, it’s generally less expensive to retain employees than to find new ones. Be sure to offer ways for staffers to enhance their personal and professional development. And if you can’t raise wages, try to offer perks, such as flexible schedules or work-from-home options.
Not sure if your nonprofit can afford to hire or to incentivize current staffers? Contact us for help. We can review your organization’s financial position and suggest ways to raise revenues. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
TAMPA, Fla. — An unknown suspect targeted a South Tampa yard sale, benefiting a good cause, with phony money.
Katherine, who asked us not to share her full name, was hosting a fundraiser Saturday for her teenage niece, who is in need of a new kidney.
"I love her and we did this as an effort to raise money for her so she can get the transplant and it would be less money out of her family’s pocket," said Katherine.
Katherine says one man came by the yard sale and talked her down in price for a pair of designer purses and an original painting from Haiti, where she was previously deployed in the military.
Turns out, a $50 bill was bogus, handed to her in a peculiar way as to not reveal that it was counterfeit.
"I felt really punked," said Katherine. "Violated and it angered me because it wasn’t money taken from me, it was money taken from my niece for her surgery."
Katherine said upon further inspection, the counterfeit bill stated "motion picture use only" on the back and had a different texture.
There are several ways to spot counterfeit cash. One sign is real cash shows a watermark on both sides when held to the light.
Katherine filed a police report with the Tampa Police Department and hopes no one else is ripped off.
"I don’t know if it was a one-time deal with him or if this is his business and this is what he does but I hope there’s a greater increased awareness of counterfeit money," said Katherine.
If you think you’ve found a fake bill, you can report it to either one of these sites:

For many young Sitkans, buying a house feels like an impossible dream. But for one single mother, a community land trust is turning the dream of home ownership into a more affordable reality.
by Robert Woolsey, KCAW | Feb 12, 2014 | Local News
A Community Land Trust is another step closer to reality in Sitka. The Sitka Assembly Tuesday night (2-11-14) awarded $7,500 to the Sitka Community Development Corporation to support the non-profit’s creation of a trust. The funding will support the salary of the non-profit’s director, Mim McConnell, who is also Sitka’s mayor. On Wednesday, the Sitka Chamber of Commerce heard a pitch from a CLT consultant.
by Robert Woolsey, KCAW | May 24, 2013 | Local News
When you start talking about providing affordability, or low-cost housing, in a community, there’s always a little pushback. Not In My Backyard comes to mind, along with resistance to anyone’s tampering with the open market. Michael Brown, with Burlington Associates in St. Joseph, Minnesota, says CLT’s don’t deserve either.

Almighty Effort From Hi Royal In The 2000 Guineas
There are certain times when running a career best feels like you won. The classics are the pinnacle of racing and you only get one crack at them. When Hi Royal lined up in the 2000 Guineas he was not seen as a danger but just 100 seconds later he had announced himself to the racing public.
Owned and bred by Mr Jaber Abdullah, the son of Kodiac had a light campaign last year as a 2yo. Beginning in the ultra competitive Convivial Maiden at York, Hi Royal flew home from off the pace to finish third on debut. He followed that by winning at Ayr with consummate ease, which signed him off for the winter.
Always highly regarded, Hi Royal held big entries in most of the classics. connections have always thought he could be horse to get further than the 1m he won over, so it was interesting to see where he would start off. It would at the Craven meeting, tackling the 7f conditions race. Wary of not giving him a very hard race in one of the bigger trials, Hi Royal ran well for a long way before finding the dead ground and trip against him. Although many wrote him off, Hi Royal was given the green light to line up in the season’s first classic.
Oisin Murphy was booked for the ride as the pair lined up against 13 of the best 3yo colts around. It’s very hard to set out tactics in a race of this nature but it was important for Oisin to use his mounts stride. So jumping well from the stalls, Hi Royal was allowed to move forward and quickly headed the classic field.
Early on the race got quite messy with a few racing keen. Hi Royal was in the perfect spot in front, striding out on the rain softened ground. Tracked along by Chaldean, the second fav, Hi Royal cut out a decent gallop and ensured that it would be a true run race despite conditions.
Racing down the centre of the track, the field charged through the first half of the race at a strong 38 mph. Oisin was happy to let his mount use himself. The race begun to develop around the 3f marker as there was an increase in the pace. This had a domino affect throughout the field as they had to match the leader’s pace.
With the field starting the race, Hi Royal suddenly had a few of them in trouble. Once they passed the 2f the cracks started to show and it was the fav who was first to fold. Hi Royal was travelling like a dream and once Oisin asked him, the colt quickened and set sail for home. Only Chaldean could go with him but this move quickly had him off the bridle too. Unfortunately Hi Royal hung left but did still hold the advantage as the leading pair pulled away.
Moving into the final furlong the field had been completely split apart and it looked as though the race was between the front two. Hi Royal surrendered his lead when he once again hung left, this time more severely. Chaldean inched the lead and kicked on. Once Oisin got his mount balanced he kept on again to chase home the winner and hold on to his runner up spot.
You cannot be anything than proud of Hi Royal and whilst many might claim it was a fluke, there was no surprise to connections., Hi Royal has always been a smart horse and whilst he didn’t the profile to do what he did, he has always shaped like a class horse. At the start of the season Kevin felt that Hi Royal could stay 10f so his next step will be discussed with connections. He holds entries in the Dante, Irish Guineas and the Prix Du Jockey Club. Whatever is decided, Hi Royal is a very exciting colt and the future looks very bright. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Unlock the Power of Mobile Shopping
On January 26, 2023, join our panel of industry experts and analysts as they discuss why mobile can give retailers the edge, but only if they test their shopping experiences.*
Every retail experience is a collection of interactions that occur either online or in-store, with mobile devices being used to varying degrees. Whether comparing prices, checking product reviews, making a purchase through a digital wallet, or even receiving a personalized promotion via a text message or push notification - mobile has and continues to transform retail.
Part of this transformation is blurring the lines between the physical and digital worlds. With 82% of consumers using their mobile devices in-store to make a purchase and 85% preferring to use a mobile app or website when shopping, retailers have a massive opportunity to connect and engage with their customers wherever they are.
However, delivering a poor mobile experience comes at a cost, with 1 in 4 shoppers turning to a competitor if they don't get the experience they expect.
Consumers are demanding, and as the increase in mobile usage continues, retailers are faced with new revenue opportunities - but only for those willing to test their customer's experience.
But where to start? Trying to manually test a retail app is unreliable, costly, and slows your release cycles. Plus, people shop on different mobile devices that run on various operating systems with multiple screen sizes and resolutions. It's a minefield for retailers.
There is another way...Keysight's Eggplant test automation software.
Join our webinar on January 26th 9am PT | 12pm ET | 5pm GMT to hear from a panel of retail analysts, publishers, and technology experts as they discuss:
- How retailers can leverage current mobile technology trends
- What challenges to expect and how to overcome them
- Why testing mobile technology is vital for a consistent shopping experience

Welcome all to the start of February. I can feel Spring just around the corner and can not wish it upon us here fast enough! The winter here has been hard and long. I am hoping to catch up on much needed vitamin D when the sun shine displays it’s splendour. On the subject of vitamin D, did you know that it is made from cholesterol? Did you also know that…
Cholesterol is made by every cell in the body except the brain cells?
Some of the cholesterol made by the rest of the body is also passed onto the brain?
Our stress hormone cortisol comes from cholesterol?
We can only reduce our cholesterol by maximum of 20% through diet?
Memory and learning are directly dependent upon cholesterol?
Our female and male hormones come from cholesterol?
So let’s just ask a simple question here, where is the link between heart disease and cholesterol?….Well there actually is NO sound scientific evidence to link high cholesterol to an increase in heart disease. Now some of you may be disturbed by this especially if you have been recommended to cut out foods believed to be rich in cholesterol or if you are on cholesterol lowering medication…but before the disturbance turns into denial or a manifestation of anger, do take time to read on, it may just save your brain cells and health.
Cholesterol isn’t the enemy, although we have some of the medical profession obsessed with it. In fact, without cholesterol, you would die in a matter of days if not within hours. Also when we are ‘stressed’ our cholesterol will go up because our stress hormone cortisol comes from cholesterol. In other words the more stressed we are, the more cholesterol our body makes in order to make more cortisol. Still with me?
It is known that ‘stressful’ events such as putting a hand-cuff around the arm prior to taking a blood sample or fear of the needle can result in raised cholesterol values!
If we put aside the above for now, but concentrate on the false belief that high cholesterol causes heart disease…then how do we explain the following findings…
In people with under active thyroids who have high cholesterol levels there is no increase in the incidence of coronary heart disease (in very basic terms coronary heart disease is caused by ‘disease’ of the coronary arteries that feed the heart)
People with nephritic syndrome (damage to kidneys) have high cholesterol but there is no increase in coronary heart disease either
A study led by Dr. Tamara Horwich at UCLA, of more than a thousand patients with severe heart failure, found that after five years 62 percent of the patients with lower cholesterol (below 129 mg/l) had died but only half as many of the patients with higher cholesterol (above 223 mg/l) died
In Japan coronary heart disease is uncommon, supposedly due to the lean Japanese diet. There is a pretty ‘famous’ study that shows that once these people moved to the USA the incidence of heart disease increased in this population. The increased heart mortality following migration was not associated with the diet or the serum cholesterol, but with the cultural upbringing!
My simple message here is that we have totally ‘lost the plot’ in trying to reduce cholesterol levels. Of course having high cholesterol does indicate the body is trying to ‘deal’ with something but it is not the ‘villain’. If anything it is the ‘healing’ agent. Why else would our own body produce 80% of it?
So next time you visit a health practitioner who encourages you to reduce your cholesterol levels through either some pharmaceutical drug or through some non sense low fat diet or even natural supplements (be they herbal, nutritional or homeopathic for that matter)…ask them ‘If cholesterol is a healing agent (and having high cholesterol your body is trying to ‘deal’ with an underlying imbalance) why try and bring it down?’ Is it not more important to address the cause of why cholesterol is elevated? ..asking this question may just save you from long term ill health
Next month I will be introducing you to the so-called ‘artery clogging’ theory and the real causes of heart disease… | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

U.S. pharmacies are under trial for their involvement in the opioid crisis
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
This is a week for news made by people who brought receipts. We have a story of documents leaked from Facebook, a story of documents revealing the hidden financial dealings of global elites and a story of documents from inside companies running pharmacies that sold opioids. Lawyers in Cleveland highlighted those papers as a trial began against CVS, Giant Eagle, Walgreens and Walmart - all accused of recklessly selling pain pills and fueling a black market, although they deny wrongdoing. We should note, the Walton Family Foundation, which is created by the founders of Walmart, is an NPR sponsor, and so is Walgreens.
Our addiction correspondent Brian Mann is in Cleveland. Hey there, Brian.
BRIAN MANN, BYLINE: Hey, Steve.
INSKEEP: OK. These companies market themselves as places you can trust. But what is the story now emerging in court?
MANN: Yeah. You know, Steve, one reason so many companies involved in the opioid business settled cases like this is they don't want to go through weeks of embarrassing revelations in court. And you could really see why yesterday. Mark Lanier, an attorney representing two Ohio counties at the center of this case, he told the jury these pharmacy chains were so irresponsible with their opioid dispensing practices that drug dealers were able to use their outlets to build this black-market pipeline of prescription pain pills - one that stretched all the way from Florida here to Ohio.
INSKEEP: And what do the documents reveal about that alleged black-market pipeline?
MANN: Yeah. This was interesting. During his opening statement yesterday, Mark Lanier quoted internal memos that appear to show at least some corporate executives felt they had a serious problem with these pills. One Walgreens document read - and I'm quoting here - "Walgreens is not verifying the legitimacy of suspicious orders, which could lead the fulfillment of an illicit order." And Lanier later read from another document - read this into the court record from CVS, the pharmacy chain, where a company employee allegedly wrote - again, I'm quoting here, Steve - "I may have been naive to believe we were doing everything we could to reduce the growth of this tragic problem." And going forward, sources tell me, we'll hear about more documents like this one as the trial proceeds.
INSKEEP: What are the companies saying here in opening arguments?
MANN: Well, we've heard so far from Casper Stoffelmayr. He's lead attorney for Walgreens. He pushed back hard and said to the jury that this portrait of Walgreens handling opioids carelessly doesn't match reality. He said the company's pharmacists tried to be cautious with these highly addictive pills. And Stoffelmayr also rolled out an argument we expect to hear more from the other pharmacy chains in the days ahead, that the blame for this opioid epidemic lies elsewhere - you know, with doctors who prescribe too many pills, with drugmakers who lied about the safety of opioids, with government regulators who didn't crack down soon enough.
But I have to say, attorneys for these companies do not have an easy job ahead. They're going to have to convince these local juries - jurors on this panel that it made sense for their pharmacy chains to keep dispensing millions of these opioid pills year after year in their community at a time when addiction and overdose deaths just kept rising.
INSKEEP: What is that - what is at stake as that jury considers the case?
MANN: Well, first, of course, there's a lot of money on the line, as well as these companies' reputations. This trial in Cleveland is seen widely as a test case. It's going to help establish what, if any, liability these corporations bear for the opioid crisis, not just here, but all over the country. If this jury says these companies are on the hook and should pay to help solve the crisis, it could eventually cost the firms tens of billions of dollars.
But I want to say quickly, Steve, it's not just money. This is all life-and-death stuff. Experts say if that money is paid out, it could pay for drug treatment and addiction programs desperately needed right now - drug overdose deaths, of course, still rising faster than ever.
INSKEEP: Wow. Brian, thanks so much.
MANN: Thank you, Steve.

Conservation to protect and preserve our green corridor and woods sanctuary.
Forming a deep relationship with the land.
A graduate studies research project by MFA candidate Gail Hinchliffe
Since fall 2022 Gail’s MFA (Master of Fine Arts) research-creation* studies at the University of Calgary have focused on the eastern woodlands of Kiyooka Ohe Arts Centre (KOAC). The research centers on the agency of wild plants as metaphors for the human species in reconciling a reconnection with the land and the belief that plants can lead us to question how society advances its own values and moral compromises within an Earth view.
The Graduate Studies Program raised research questions on how to put aside the paradigm of domination over the land and live in relationship with the land – How do we mediate our disconnection with the land to understand we are just one of many species in an interconnected world? How should one enter a landscape that is alive and waiting to be met, understood, and listened to? What role can art, from a relational/participatory theory, play in this process?
The woodlands of KOAC offer a perfect site for study (or to contemplate these questions, as it is home to ecologically intact Aspen and Poplar standing on the eastern escarpment and is a preserved area which has never been cultivated. Pathways, initially established by wildlife, have been left in their natural state. Plants, trees, and fungi are the principal occupants, and live in accordance with their own rhythm in all seasons.
Gail’s visits gradually slowed with her pace in response to the seasons and weather. Accompanied by her camera Gail began by snapping anything that caught her eye as she walked the paths embarking on initial discoveries. As she became acquainted with the various ecosystems, she brought a small folding stool and sat in one spot listening and focusing on a mandala on the woodlands floor. This encouraged her to consider the consistency of change and how plants continue to find their own way in a life rhythm that is beyond our understanding.
Gail posed her research questions to potential participants who were also interested in finding their own answers to these questions and discovered, in the process, an intuitive way of knowing that transcends politicalized history and societal norms. To assist the process, Gail developed a field guide on approaching the prospect of slowing down, observing, listening, and reflecting. The participants had a variety of backgrounds but were united in wanting to explore what it means to build a deep relationship with nature… and how that relationship can aid in understanding a different perspective on the workings of our earth and our place in preserving the earth as our home. They shared their unique reflections with Gail, and that usually included a photo, sketch, poem, or story.
Sharing these stories is a starting point for deeper discussions on how reconnecting with the land can provide individual support and strength. It is also an opportunity to discover commonality in a world of diversity and can be the beginning of a refreshed connection with the land and a catalyst for change.
Further information can be obtained by contacting email@example.com.
‘It has been an honour and privilege to build relationship with this land, and I am excited to conclude my research studies this coming year and encounter new discoveries. Over the balance of my studies, this preliminary participatory work will be expanded to include opportunities to share stories and contribute to KOAC’s vision for the continued preservation of this unique site’
Gail Hincliffe, MFA candidate.

Paso Robles Joint Unified School District officials said last Wednesday, a student effort to honor Veterans Day was disrupted by the inclusion of a profane flag.
District officials say, "This both detracted from the intended purpose of the demonstration and led to considerable disruption, including some postings and exchanges on social media that were completely inappropriate."
According to reports, the objectionable flag was up for a very limited amount of time.
The district says they do not condone this behavior no matter the length of time and the students involved will be appropriately disciplined in accordance with district policies.
Following the event, district officials say a district employee posted comments on social media regarding this event which were inappropriate, and the district is also responding accordingly through the Human Resource office.
The district is reminding all employees that as an employee of PRJUSD, social media is not an appropriate venue for criticism of our students and families and that they must conduct themselves in a professional manner.
The district says they are working to expand its efforts to hold joint activities to promote tolerance and unity.
"Veterans Day should be a day for patriotism and honoring service, not yet another politically divisive controversy. We call on the school community to come together as Roblans and Bearcats," said PRJUSD.
The district did not provide information on exactly what the profane flag said that the student was waving. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Jet2 to resume flights to Portugal after quarantines measures are lifted
20 August 2020, 22:57
Jet2 has announced plans to resume flights and holidays to the Algarve next week, after the UK removed Portugal from its quarantine list.
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays announced they will start offering breaks to the popular destination of Faro from August 24.
Multiple weekly flights to the southern Portuguese city will be reintroduced from Belfast International, Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted, Manchester and Newcastle airports.
It follows Transport Secretary Grant Shapps revealing that passengers arriving in the UK from Portugal will no longer have to self-isolate for 14 days, with the change coming into effect from 4am on Saturday.
Portugal has also been exempted from the FCO's global advisory against non-essential travel.
The prospect of quarantine-free holidays for Britons will come as a boost to Portugal's tourism sector, with the country previously expressing its disappointment over being left off the safe travel list for much of the summer.
Jet2 is already operating flights to the Portuguese island of Madeira from Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and London Stansted airports.
It said onboard cleaning and "in-resort care" following Covid-19 guidelines, were among measures in place to help ensure flights and holidays were safe.
Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: "We welcome this change in government advice which means that customers can once again look forward to enjoying their well-deserved holidays in the stunning Algarve region.
"With flights and holidays operating to Faro, in addition to Madeira, we are thrilled to be offering customers two fantastic options in Portugal when they're looking to book their well-deserved holiday away from the gloom."
Claudia Miguel, UK director at Turismo de Portugal, said: "We have consistently maintained our unwavering confidence in the safety of Portugal, and we are delighted to have arrived at a decision which we feel far better reflects the reality of the situation in Portugal."
Countries added to 14-day UK quarantine list
A spokesperson for travel trade organisation Abta said: "Portugal is a popular destination among British holidaymakers and a place where the weather usually remains pleasant late into winter time.
"The news that holidaymakers can still enjoy a much deserved break in this country will be welcomed by travellers and the travel industry alike."
But Which? Travel editor Rory Boland commented: "The addition of Portugal is likely to come too late to help many struggling holiday companies who are at the point of collapse, as summer trips have already been cancelled.
"Which? has been asking the Government what support it will provide to the travel industry for several months.
"That support is now urgently needed." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Prints & Printmaking, Dalloul Art Foundation
The Dalloul Art Foundation (DAF) Presents:
Prints & Printmaking
Curated by Wafa Roz
The Dalloul Art Foundation (DAF) in Beirut proudly presents “Prints & Printmaking,” an exhibition that celebrates the artistry of Arab printmakers. This unique showcase features a remarkable selection of fine art prints from the DAF collection, many of which are rarely seen by the public.
With over 310 handmade prints on paper, the exhibition highlights the work of 36 prominent Arab artists from the Middle East and North Africa. Notable contributors include Farid Belkahia, Chaïbia Talal, Dia Al Azzawi, Rafa Nasiri, Suad al-Attar, Marwan Kassab-Bachi, Walid Abu Shakra, Kamal Boullata, Mustafa El Hallaj, Huguette Caland, Shafic Abboud, Halim Jurdak, Samira Badran, Mohammad El Rawas, Ayman Baalbaki, Said Baalbaki, and Yvette Achkar, among others who have significantly influenced the evolution of this medium.
Through “Prints & Printmaking,” DAF aims to deepen visitors’ appreciation of the artistry behind printmaking while raising awareness of its importance in expressing diverse themes and narratives. This exhibition is not only a display of artwork but also an educational opportunity to explore the history and techniques of printmaking. The selected works illustrate a variety of printmaking techniques, including intaglio, relief, planography (lithography), and silkscreen, each offering a distinct perspective and artistic voice.
In addition to a wide range of prints from DAF’s extensive collection, the exhibition features archival materials, unique artists’ books, and a rare copy of the first known book printed in the eastern part of the Ottoman Empire: The Book of Psalms, printed in 1610 at the Monastery of Saint Anthony of Qozhaya in Lebanon. This significant book has been loaned from la Bibliothèque Orientale de l’Université Saint-Joseph (USJ) in Beirut.
The history of printmaking reflects humanity’s enduring quest for creative and technological advancement. From its ancient origins in Mesopotamia with stamp and cylinder seal printing to the innovative techniques of the 20th century, printmaking has continually evolved, shaping the spread of images and texts across cultures.
The 20th century saw a surge of nationalism, state-building, and political upheaval, making printmaking a vital medium for artistic experimentation, social commentary, and cultural revival. Arab artists and printmakers played a crucial role in revitalizing printmaking as a distinct art form.
In addition to the prints, the exhibition will include four filmed interviews produced by DAF with esteemed modern and contemporary Arab artists-printmakers, featuring insights from Mohammad El Rawas, Zeina Badran, Samira Badran, and Said Baalbaki. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A solicitor who led a client to believe he was divorced after she falsified a decree absolute has been struck off.
Ebru Atas also admitted having the client pay her in cash, which she kept rather than give to her employer, as well as getting a legally aided client to pay fees he was not liable for into her personal bank account.
Ms Atas was a paralegal and then, after qualifying in 2017, a solicitor at North London firm Kilic & Kilic.
According to an agreed outcome between Ms Atas and the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), she was sacked for gross misconduct in September 2019 when it came to light that she had demanded that a client in receipt of legal aid pay fees of £1,635 into her bank account – he thought he was paying the firm.
The client said he felt pressured by Ms Atas into making the payments.
Director Filiz Kilic told the SRA that, after asking what had happened, Ms Atas said: “I must have made a mistake and charged him privately for my own fees.” She refunded the client by way of a series of postal orders.
Following the dismissal, Ms Kilic reviewed all of Ms Atas’s cases, one of which involved Client B, a Turkish national who had instructed the firm two years earlier to act in his divorce. Ms Atas quoted a fee of £1,630, which the client said he paid in cash at her insistence.
She provided him with invoices that made it look like the money had been received by the firm, when it had not been.
In October 2018, Ms Atas told Client B that the divorce was completed and provided him with a decree absolute, which he used to apply for it to be recognised for the purpose of proceedings in Turkey.
Investigations by the firm after Ms Etas left showed that the decree absolute was a fake – the copy on the firm’s system was an editable Word document that bore a court seal from the family court at Bury St Edmunds. The court said it had no trace of documents in the name of the client or his wife.
After being informed by Ms Kilic about what happened, Client B said Ms Atas called him to say that what the firm had told him was incorrect and that he should trust her as his legal representative. She said the decree absolute was genuine and that he should not return to the firm for assistance.
Client B told Ms Atas that he had chosen to “trust the firm”.
The firm agreed to conduct the divorce proceedings for Client B on a pro bono basis.
Ms Atas did not explain why she acted as she did but, in mitigation which was not agreed by the SRA, she claimed she was under a lot of stress, as well as in debt, and was suffering from a medical condition.
She said she had been given a huge workload and significant responsibility, despite her lack of experience, and had little support, claims that Ms Kilic denied.
Ms Atas placed on record “her shame and regret at her actions for which she wishes to apologise”.
The SRA recorded: “It is [her] wish notwithstanding the circumstances of the matter to depart her former profession with dignity.”
Approving the agreement to strike her off, the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal said: “The proven misconduct breached two fundamental tenets of the solicitors’ profession namely (a) proper dealings with client money and (b) the honesty and integrity required of solicitors in all of their affairs.
“[She] flagrantly breached both tenets deliberately and repeatedly from July 2018 until September 2019. She was solely responsible for her misconduct which represented a grave departure from the standards expected of solicitors.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The mysterious life and death of Rasputin - Eden Girma
On a cold winter night in 1916,
Felix Yusupov anxiously prepared to pick up his dinner guest.
If all went as planned, his guest would be dead by morning,
though four others had already tried and failed to finish him off.
The Russian monarchy was on the brink of collapse,
and to Yusupov and his fellow aristocrats,
the holy man they'd invited to dinner was the single cause of it all.
But who was he,
and how could a single monk be to blame for the fate of an empire?
Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin began his life in Siberia,
born in 1869 to a peasant family.
He might have lived a life of obscurity in his small village,
if not for his conversion to the Russian Orthodox Church
in the 1890s.
Inspired by the humbled monks that wandered endlessly
from holy site to holy site,
he spent years on pilgrimages across Russia.
On his travels, strangers were captivated by Rasputin's magnetic presence.
Some even believed he had mystical gifts of prediction and healing.
Despite Rasputin's heavy drinking, petty theft, and promiscuity,
his reputation as a monk quickly spread beyond Siberia
and attracted both laypeople and powerful Orthodox clergymen.
When he finally reached the capital, St. Petersburg,
Rasputin used his charisma and connections
to win favor with the imperial family's spiritual advisor.
In November 1905,
Rasputin was finally introduced to Russian Tsar Nicholas II.
Nicholas and his wife Alexandra devoutly believed in the Orthodox Church,
as well as in mysticism and supernatural powers,
and this Siberian holy man had them transfixed.
It was a particularly tumultuous period for Russia and their family.
The monarchy was barely clinging to control
after the Revolution of 1905.
Their political struggles were only intensified by personal turmoil:
Alexei, the heir to the throne,
had a life-threatening blood disease called hemophilia.
When Alexei suffered a severe medical crisis in 1912,
Rasputin advised his parents to reject treatment from doctors.
Alexei's health improved, cementing the royal family's belief
that Rasputin had magical healing powers,
and guaranteeing his privileged place on the royal court.
Today, we know that the doctors had prescribed aspirin,
a drug that worsens hemophilia.
After this incident, Rasputin made a prophecy:
if he died, or the royal family deserted him,
both their son and their crown would soon be gone.
Outside the royal family, people had mixed views on Rasputin.
On one hand, peasants regarded him as one of their own,
amplifying their often-unheard voice to the monarchy.
But nobles and clergymen came to despise his presence.
Rasputin never ceased his scandalous behavior,
and they were skeptical of his so-called powers
and thought he was corrupting the royal family.
By the end of World War I,
they were convinced the only way to maintain order
was to eliminate this sham of a holy man.
With this conviction,
Yusupov began to plot Rasputin's assassination.
Though the exact details remain mysterious,
our best guess at how it all unfolded comes from Yusupov's memoirs.
He served Rasputin a number of pastries, believing they contained cyanide.
But unbeknownst to Yusupov,
one of his co-conspirators had a change of heart,
and substituted the poison with a harmless substance.
To Yusupov's shock, Rasputin ate them without ill effect.
In desperation, he shot Rasputin at point-blank range.
But Rasputin recovered, punched his attacker, and fled.
Yusupov and his accomplices pursued him,
finally killing Rasputin with a bullet to the forehead
and dumping his body in the Malaya Nevka river.
But far from stabilizing the monarchy's authority,
Rasputin's death enraged the peasantry.
Just as Rasputin prophesied,
his murder was swiftly followed by that of the royal family.
Whether the downfall of the Russian monarchy
was a product of the monk's curse,
or the result of political tensions decades in the making,
well, we may never know. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Skirting the northern edge of the old city limits, pedestrianised Via Garibaldi (formerly Strada Nuova) was planned by Galeazzo Alessi in the 16th century. It quickly became the most sought-after quarter, lined with the palaces of Genoa's wealthiest citizens. Three of these palazzi – Rosso, Bianco and Doria-Tursi – today comprise the Musei di Strada Nuova. Between them, they hold the city's finest collection of old masters. Whether you visit the actual museums or not, the street is a must to wander.

By Richard Barker on
Look To The Stars’ Richard Barker – nominated as Britain’s Most Inspiring Fundraiser and organizer of the Chefs for Heroes event – caught up with a group of celebrities with a cause last week and filed this special interview.
On Friday night I was fortunate enough to spend some time with the four beautiful women who make up the dazzling electric string quartet, Bond. I had asked them to donate a performance to “Chefs for Heroes”, a fundraiser for the British charity Help for Heroes. They graciously accepted my invitation and helped us to raise over one hundred thousand pounds. I cannot begin to thank them enough for making it an unforgettable event.
Bond has been described as the best selling string quartet of all time and consists of Tania Davis (violin), Eos Chater (violin), Elspeth Hanson (5-string violin/viola) and Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cello). They have sold over 4 million records. Their debut album Born was removed from the UK classical chart because it was criticized for sounding too much like pop music. Born would later rise the number one position on 21 different charts around the world. Shine, their second album, went gold in six countries. They have released a third CD, Classified, and are currently in the recording studio recording their new album.
I managed to interview the girls prior to their performance:
What made you decide to help us with Chefs for Heroes?
Gay-Yee: It is fantastic thing to be involved with. My father is in the RAF. He was really impressed when I told him about Chefs for Heroes.
Why is Help for Heroes important?
Gay-Yee: The money is going towards a terrific cause. We should never forget that we can always do more for these brave young men, returning home injured, some of them horrifically. We are honoured to be helping make people aware of this incredibly important charity.
Eos: I have been following our heroes on television. I’m really pleased that we can help. Those soldiers returning injured should never be forgotten. We are so happy to be contributing to the vital rehabilitation work – both physical and emotional – being undertaken at Headley Court [a hospital for injured soldiers].
Do you have any final comments?
Bond: We hope that everyone tonight enjoys our music – we are not only happy, but honoured, to be supporting Help for Heroes. Thank you for inviting us guys!
The girls’ performance was magnificent! At the end of night I became quite emotional. The girls took the time to meet some of the patients from Headley Court. The event was a tribute to these heroes. I’m really pleased that they enjoyed the performance and I’m delighted that we were able to give them a night to remember. This was definitely a highlight of my fundraising career.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support. I’d also like to thank their manager Terri Robson for helping me to make this possible.
Finally, thank you Look to the Stars readers for giving a young fundraiser a chance to share his inspiring stories.

The Battle of Bexley Square
Their proposed route would have led them past the labour exchange, but, as the leader of the procession wheeled to the right towards a side street, the policemen in front about faced and formed a cordon.
The column halted: drum and bell were silenced.
The organiser stepped forward desirous of an explanation, receiving scant courtesy of the inspector, who, pointing his stick down the road and staring elsewhere than at the man to whom his remarks were addressed, said: ‘Keep straight on.’...
The police farther down the line behaved strategically, breaking up the column into several small portions, preventing further augmentation of the crowd blocking the roadway higher up.
The Battle of Bexley Square took place on 1 October 1931,
shortly after the events described here by Walter Greenwood in Love on the Dole, when unemployed demonstrators were prevented from reaching Salford town hall to present a petition against the introduction of the means test – effectively a cut to the dole for many – by the coalition government. Protesters were attacked by police and dozens arrested.
The Working Class Movement Library, whose co-founder was arrested at the square and sentenced to five months hard labour in Strangeways, is planning to mark the 80th anniversary tomorrow by tweeting the events of the day in a ‘live’ reconstruction using the hash tag #BexleySquare. Austerity has bitten at the library recently; Salford City Council have cut their grant by a third, Hazel Blears MP has moved her constituency office out of the building, depriving the library of rental income, and a short term grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund has come to an end. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The idea that we all learn in different ways is not a novel one. Most people are quite familiar with the concept that some people are, for example, visual learners, some auditory and others kinaesthetic. Tests to determine learning styles were once common in schools and they remain readily available online.
However, whilst we have come a long way from every student being forced to write with their right hand, the education sector has arguably failed to do enough to take account of the varied needs of different learners. That is particularly true of those with special educational needs.
Unfortunately, educational institutions, including in the legal sector, tend to use a one-size fits all approach with few alternatives to the traditional approach of lectures and seminars. Some students may thrive in this environment, but many will not.
Want to know your learner type? Find out whether you are a kinaesthetic, auditory or visual learner with this quiz.
An online education, in contrast, can be tailored to the needs of the individual. At Law Training Centre, we adopt a holistic approach to a legal education, with one-to-one tutor support allowing students to learn in the manner that suits them best and a bespoke study planner to deliver guided learning hours for each and every learner.
All our content is developed in-house and delivered in a variety of formats to cater to different learning styles. That includes hundreds of recorded lectures, pdf course notes, flashcards, workshops and practice questions, to make sure that whatever a student’s learning style is, they can make the most of their time at Law Training Centre.
An online approach to education also guarantees every student far more time ‘face-to-face’ with their tutors than would be possible in a traditional, in-person setting. This gives our tutors the chance to really understand what the best way for each of their students to learn is — no one ends up lost in a crowded classroom.
Of course, some learners do best in a social environment but that doesn’t have to stop them from succeeding in an online course. For example, we host regular learner discussion forums moderated by subject specialists, as well as online social events to ensure that all our learners have the chance to get to know their classmates if they want to.
And, because here at Law Training Centre, we offer every qualification from the SQE through to CILEX and the Notarial Academic Training Course, we’re able to offer impartial advice about what route to qualifying is best for you, whether that is a more academic style of course or one that puts practical experience front-and-centre. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What grinding equipment is used to process 300 mesh ore?
In the process of milling production, it is necessary to choose a mill that suits you. If there is no correct choice, it will be difficult to meet the production requirements. When choosing a mill, in addition to considering the material In addition to the types, the requirements for production capacity and the requirements for finished products must also be considered. This article will explain what kind of mill should be selected when processing 300-mesh montmorillonite.
The main parts of the Raymond mill are made of wear-resistant materials, so it is difficult to be damaged during the process of processing montmorillonite, and the service life of the equipment is also very long, and the montmorillonite processed every time The quantity is large, which means that the grinding efficiency of the equipment is higher, which means that the income of the production project will be higher.
The high-strength grinding machine can perform high-fine grinding on materials with a Mohs hardness lower than 9.3 and a relative humidity lower than 6%. The particle size of the ground product can be adjusted arbitrarily between 80-425 mesh, so as to meet the 300-mesh montmorillonite At the same time, the equipment has a vertical structure, takes up less space, can be used in combination, has good product quality, high pass rate, and the electronic system has a strong distributed control capability, basically without manual operation. can get the job done;
The high-pressure micro-powder mill is mainly composed of main engine, blower, ultra-fineness analysis machine, finished product cyclone powder accumulator, bag filter and connecting air duct pipe, etc. The particle size of the obtained finished product can be adjusted within the range of 80-325 mesh, It can meet the user’s processing requirements for montmorillonite 300 purposes. In the production process, the pulverizer has large feed particle size and large processing capacity, and has a good dust removal effect during the production process. It can not only meet environmental protection requirements, but also reduce energy consumption. ; | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Deactivating User Access Within 24 Hours for Terminated, Retiring, and Extended Leave
Auditors are now routinely reviewing security access management as part of IT. Security access management is an essential part of overall IT security that manages user access to data, systems, and resources within an organization. Failure to timely deactivate security access creates a significant security risk. Access management standards require removal of access within 24 hours of a change in employment status or role. Failure to timely remove access can result in audit findings.
- Verify that there is a system in place so that when someone is offboarded, transferred, or retires, their user access to the network, applications, third-party applications with department data, and enterprise systems (ex. MMARS/LCM, HR/CMS, Commonwealth Information Warehouse) is deactivated within 24 hours.
Always report any suspicious activity to your security staff immediately. See our CTR Cyber page for more cybersecurity internal controls and contact [email protected] with any incidents or suspected incidents of fraud or cyber threats or if you need support from our Statewide Risk Management Team. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
You know what customer service means in the UK along with that old adage that the customer is always right. However, living in and owning a property in France and speaking from experience the opposite applies to many larger and medium sized businesses. I have found the local shops and smaller businesses to be more pro-active where customers are concerned so it's a case buyer be aware because you could be on your own if things are not right.
Visiting a mini ideal homes exhibition in France we found on display what we were looking for, an oak gazebo in the size that we required in that it had to fit on top of a raised patio. To assist in the discussions a member of staff was summoned who spoke almost perfect English to ensure that both sides understood what was required and what was to be provided. The next step was to arrange a date for a site visit as the company would deliver and put it up on site. So a reasonably high deposit was paid and both parties were happy with the outcome.
On the date of the site inspection three people arrived including the person who spoke English. Measurements were checked as well as the structure the gazebo was to stand on. When they were happy they provided a delivery date which was confirmed by e-mail. On the appointed date we awaited delivery and construction to happen. By mid afternoon nobody arrived and the gazebo had not been delivered. I tried to contact the company but there was no reply. I did have the email address of the English speaking person and so made contact. I eventually received an email from the person who was upset that the gazebo had not arrived but offered no explanation as to why. They would enquire and be in touch.
Eventually I received an email to say that there had been a problem with the manufacturers which according to their advertising material was in fact themselves. That point was raised as well as the question as to when would the gazebo be delivered and installed. It was a blow when the reply stated that they did not know when we would get our gazebo. I responded stating that the company was in breach of contract but we could continue if the gazebo was to arrive and be installed in the next couple weeks. If the company could not deliver then we would have to go elsewhere and would require our deposit back.
They had no time frame for delivery and could be months. We could elsewhere for a gazebo but we would not get our deposit back as that had been paid to the manufacturers. Knowing that French law is a law unto itself we went to the equivalent of the UK’s Trading Standards Authority but with no powers to do anything and you have to pay for the service. After two months they reported that the company could not say when and even if the gazebo would be delivered and they would not return our deposit. The next step was to take the company to court which of course would involve a good deal more money with an unknown outcome. However, before that there was another option and so with two friends who were with us when we agreed the purchase months previously, we arrived at the company premises and inside the main office sat down. One of our group explained in French that we wanted the deposit back and would not leave until we had a cheque for the full amount. Taking over the reception area we got out flasks of coffee and sandwiches and began a picnic. They threatened to call the police – we said good as they were the criminals not us. We did not finish our picnic as they wrote a cheque which we took knowing that to write one that bounces is a police matter. I built the gazebo myself.
The moral of the story is that even if you have followed all the rules things can go wrong and customer service might not exist. A so-called reputable company refusing to refund a deposit for a product that they were for some unknown reason unable or unwilling to deliver defies logic. We now have a legal insurance at a very modest cost that would enable us to take direct action but the “picnic" did add a bit of excitement to the day. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Raj, United Kingdom
We got married in Kenya and I hated the idea of one of those boxy ready-made turbans. Even though we were on different continents, Hari made the process so simple. I sent him pics of my outfits, desired cloth, and head size (he showed me how to measure), and he took care of the rest. The result was a turban that was hand-tied and incredible. It was so comfortable throughout the day, I didn't even know I was wearing one! Really great finishing touch to my whole ensemble.
Local Turban Tying
Using Maharaja for my wedding was one of the best decisions I could have made. Hari was both professional and immaculate with his work. Before the wedding day, he did a trial run with me so that we could get a feel for how the turban would feel and look. On the big day, Hari was instrumental in getting me, my family and and the groomsmen ready on time and look our best. He tied almost 20 turbans, all which looked amazing and even held up in the heat of a hot summer day. My outfit and pictures would never have looked as good as they did without Hari. I would highly recommend Maharaja for your wedding.
I bought one of their kirpans for my wedding and they were so easy to work with. Showed me the different kirpans they had and which ones would match my outfit the best. Got it shipped to California without a hassle.
During the wedding, I got so many compliments on the kirpan! Everyone loved the quality, the work and how heavy it was. I’ve held other kirpans and they were so light and just felt flimsy but not this one. Excited to see the pictures and showcase it in my house. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

THEATRE. FILM. TOGETHER.
We are Mannequin Mouth. We make raw, visceral theatre and film projects.
Our live shows are digitised at the end of their run to create cinematic, recorded theatre that can be accessible to all.
Recently, we made our very first pure-blooded feature film - Mother Maker Lover Taker - taking the final step in our evolution to becoming a true theatre and film hybrid company.
Mannequin Mouth was founded in February 2018 by Will Pinhey and India Howland whilst in their second year of studying Drama at the University of Exeter. The company formed naturally off the back of their shared theatrical interests and inspirations, specifically the in-yer-face movement of the 90s and writers like Sarah Kane and Philip Ridley. It’s a partnership built off their complimentary skillsets, Will as a writer and India as a photographer and visual artist, which then come together under their mutual directorial vision.
The company was truly born when Will sent India the script for what would become their first show, Primrose Path. It was while working on their subsequent projects, however, that they realised their ambitions for incorporating film into Mannequin Mouth’s ethos, stemming from a conversation about their shared interest in film as an additional medium, the accessibility of theatre, and the cinematic nature of both their directorial style and the content of Will’s scripts.
This cross-medium interest culminated in the production of our debut feature film project Mother Maker Lover Taker. Now a true hybrid theatre and film company, we are eager to share the film with the world as we embark on the festival circuit over 2024. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A very nice winter day on the trails. Light snow falling most of the day accumulating to about an inch. Temps in the lower teens and a light wind from the northwest. The large group of Canadians at Maplelag this week organized their traditional “ski games” in one of the soccer fields and the Eden Prairie ski team had a time trial on Twin Lakes with a handful of Detroit Lakes skiers. Other skiers enjoying the very good to excellent conditions on the classic trails. A few rough spots on the lake crossings from top water issues otherwise the trails are in great shape and skiing is about as good as it gets. We are planning on re-setting some of the tracks tomorrow morning and will put a track on the side of North Loup in addition to grooming the skate lane on North Loup and the Skaters trails. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Proposed Marine Planning Zones Extension (0-12 nautical miles).
Marine planning zones set out the spatial limits for particular local authorities responsibilities for planning controls of marine fish and shellfish farms in Scottish waters. Scottish Government are proposing that marine planning zones are extended out to 12 nautical miles to resolve a gap in aquaculture planning regulations. These proposals go through a public consultation which opened on 18th September 2024 and closes on 11th December 2024.

Legendary Writer Chris Claremont Celebrates Wolverine's 50th Anniversary in 'Wolverine: Madripoor Knights'
This February, Chris Claremont teams up with artist Edgar Salazar for a sequel to one of Claremont's most iconic Wolverine adventures in 'Wolverine: Madripoor Knights.'
For 50 years, he’s been the best there is at what he does, and starting in January 2024, Marvel Comics proudly celebrates the milestone anniversary of Wolverine with a berserker’s rage worth of excitement, including Chris Claremont’s return to the character this February in WOLVERINE: MADRIPOOR KNIGHTS!
Having defined the character for decades in his legendary work on UNCANNY X-MEN and helming the character’s first solo adventures, there’s no better creator to kick things off. Claremont will mark the occasion by following up on the events of one of the his most beloved Wolverine tales: UNCANNY X-MEN #268.
Featuring iconic artwork by Jim Lee, this blockbuster issue is a hallmark of 90s X-Men. The saga includes Wolverine’s earliest meeting with Captain America during World War II as they team up to rescue a young Natasha Romanoff and connects it with a present-day Wolverine adventure where he fights alongside Black Widow in Madripoor. It’s a one-issue masterpiece of epic storytelling, and now, fans can experience a long-awaited sequel to this undisputed classic!
The five-issue limited series will be drawn by acclaimed artist Edgar Salazar, who got his claws bloody in the recent X-23: DEADLY REGENESIS series. Together, Claremont and Salazar will pick things up where UNCANNY X-MEN #268 left off, as Captain America joins Wolverine and Black Widow in the dangerous streets of Madripoor to hunt down a planet-threatening weapon...and the multiple enemies looking to control it!
Claremont, Cap, Widow, and Wolverine—together again! When a secret weapon brings Captain America to Madripoor, the trio team-up you’ve been waiting decades for will finally come to pass as the mission brings Logan and Black Widow into a race against time, against a multitude of foes, including the Hand!

A forty year old Foxborough, Massachusetts man was charged with Threatening to Commit a Crime in the Wrentham District Court. According to reports, the defendant told a Foxborough selectman that he was “a dead man” if he did not change his position on casino development in the town. The defendant was arrested and a stay away order was placed into effect. A judge sitting in the court ordered bail set at five thousand dollars.
Wrentham Court Criminal Lawyer
The crime of Threatening to Commit a Crime in Massachusetts is established through Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 275 Section 2. The law states that “[i]f complaint is made to any such court or justice that a person has threatened to commit a crime against the person or property of another, such court or justice shall examine the complainant and any witnesses who may be produced, on oath, reduce the complaint to writing and cause it to be subscribed by the complainant.” The elements of this offense include an expressed intention to commit a crime on someone coupled with “an ability to do so in circumstances that would justify apprehension of the recipient of the threat”. This crime is limited to cases where the accused actually causes fear to the victim. The victim’s fear must be justifiable a justifiable fear. This crime is a misdemeanor in Massachusetts. There is a maximum six months jail time for a conviction and a fine of up to one hundred dollars.
This crime is one of the most common in the Massachusetts district courts. Massachusetts Courts have set a broad interpretation of what constitutes a threat and certainly in this case the prosecutor could make out his case if the witness testified as the reports suggests. These cases are usually dismissed on court costs. Sometimes pretrial probation is offered as a disposition. Rarely do you see these cases going to trial. Prosecutors are not usually adamant about an imposition of guilty on Threats cases. The charge of threats is often ancillary to a much larger charge encompassing more serious conduct. This case is the first time I can remember a judge setting bail on a charge of Threatening to Commit a Crime without additional charges being brought. A bail of five thousand dollars is particularly high and I imagine that the complainant’s status as a selectman had something to do with this. Regardless of the bail situation however, on cases charging Threats only a Massachusetts Criminal Attorney should be able to resolve this case in a way that does not leave the accused with a criminal record.

Mehr Information und bestellen bei Remedia HomöopathieCholesterine. C26 H44 O. Trituration.
Clinical.-Gall-stones. Jaundice. Liver, cancer of; diseases of. Vitreous, opacities of.
Characteristics.-Cholesterine is a substance crystallising in leaflets with a mother-of-pearl lustre and a fatty feel. It is soluble in alcohol and ether. It occurs in the blood and brain, yolk of eggs, seeds and buds of plants, but most abundantly in the bile and biliary calculi. Ameke, who did much to introduce the proximate principles of the tissues as remedies, anticipating the practice now so much in vogue in the old school, recommended Cholesterine as a remedy in cancer of the liver. Burnett has recently adduced conclusive evidence in support of the correctness of this assertion; and I have myself cured, mainly with this, a case described to me (I did not see the patient, a man over 50) as in the last stage of liver disease. He had been given up by his medical attendant, who ordered him to make his will without delay. Burnett uses the 3x or the 3 trit. and substantial doses. He commends it in "obstinate hepatic engorgements, which by reason of their obstinacy make one think interrogatively of cancer," also in "cases in which there appears to be a semi-malignant affection, involving the left lobe of the liver and what lies between it and the pylorus and the pancreas." In such cases Burnett gives alternately Cholest. 3x and Iodoform 3x. It has been used with success in the removal of opacities of the vitreous. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Sustainability on stage at the 2012 Furniture Exhibition
The 2012 edition of the International Furniture Exhibition and the FuoriSalone events are focused, this year again, on eco-design and environmental sustainability expressed in a variety of design forms conceived by architects and designers that used their imagination with care for the environment.
The new collection of cardboard products by Kubedesign
Cardboard is used more and more often in our homes and in public venues as a tough and strong, yet light and functional material, which satisfies our need for handy furniture that follows us in our ever-changing housing style. Kubedesign introduces the 2012 collection, rich of projects that integrate and satisfy the needs of those that find a new way to use spaces in this original furnishing style.
The Mobile Lamp by Matali Crasset from Regenesi
The latest creation of Matali Crasset for Regenesi is the Mobile Lamp, a small appliance conceived as a mechanic’s lamp that, with its hook, brings its soft light around the house. Part of the o-Re-gami line, it uses regenerated leather sheets (100% recycled and recyclable) simply folded to interpret the different potentials of spaces, of the folds, and of the materials’ cracks.
The Broom Chair by Philippe Stark from Emeco
Philippe Starck designed the Broom Chair, a new recycled and recyclable chair for Emeco, conceived to last in time. The chair is made with 75% regenerated polypropylene, 15% recycled wooden fibre, and 10% glass fibre.
Sacchi of the FLUO line from Essent’ial
The creativity of Essent’ial is put on display and offers the FLUO Line for FuoriSalone 2012. Pop, acid, and vivid colours, according to the latest trends. Essent’ial is fond of colours and introduces the Sacchi line in four fluorescent shades of high visual impact, filled with paint overflowing on the outer walls: colour flows down the edges with fluo drops. Completely made of pulp fibres, the Sacchi of the FLUO Line are available in three sizes (Sacchino F, Sacchetto, and Saccaccio) and in four shocking colours: lemon fluo, pink fluo, orange fluo, and acid fluo.
The BIO Home line from Bitossi Home
BIO Home is a collection of coloured, amusing, strong table accessories, suited for all situations: from a garden party to the home to a pick-nick at the park. The BIO Home line is made of bamboo fibres. This plant grows spontaneously in huge quantities, with no need for fertilization. Bamboo is a non-toxic and non-polluting, strong, recyclable, compostable, biodegradable material.
The Inside kitchen from KEY
An innovative kitchen set with a strong eco-sustainable character made of SWANSTONE®, a new-generation ecological material. The cooking top, designed with the innovative and tested concealed induction technology, with slight engravings that define the layout of pans, ensures minimal aesthetic impact and extreme ease of use and cleaning. The knife racks, the shelves and the storage basins arranged in the slit carved into the oversized top are made of wood with canaletto walnut finish or SWANSTONE®, whereas the doors have a delicate geometric engraving. The sink ensures top continuity with the working basin in the same material, and hosts to a high-tech digital mixer. The hood, completely coated with SWANSTONE®, has a special construction that produces a scenic effect, while allowing to direct the steam flow. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Turkish pianist and composer Fazil Say stands out thanks to his talent as well as his political convictions: we discover a fascinating character in this portrait.
Born in Ankara, he studied the piano at the conservatory, then honed his skills in Germany at the Schumann Institute in Düsseldorf and the Berlin Conservatory. Recognition came in 1994, when he won the prestigious Young Concert Artists International Auditions award in New York. As a guest soloist with many orchestras, he has shared a stage with the New York Philharmonic, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
He has composed many pieces for the orchestra as well as for the piano; he is also the author of oratorios dedicated to Turkish poets to whom he feels close, such as the poet Nazim Hikmet, and Metin Altiok, a victim of political Islamism. A keen jazz enthusiast, he founded the World Jazz quintet, with whom he performs on many stages, including at Montreux Festival. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tidy Home Tidy Mind
One thing I've been meaning to do this month is tidy my bedroom. During the winter my room has been a little mouldy and also felt a little cluttered to me. As much as I love my cute décor in my bedroom, the amount of dust it picks up is ridiculous so I thought I may as well have a sort out of my room.
It's always a struggle when you decide to have a tidy up because when you start pulling things off your surfaces to wipe and everything just ends up cluttering on your bed, you start to regret it. With a little burst of motivation though I managed to tidy up my room and it's just a satisfying feeling afterwards when you've finished. Everything looks so much neater and less cluttered. I've managed to get rid of the mould on the ceiling and it feels very refreshing. I've even changed my bedsheets too. To end this tidy up, I had a nice bath and put on fresh pyjamas this evening which feels lovely in my tidy bedroom.
All worth it in the end.
Anyway, I hope this post gave you a little motivation to tidy your bedroom because honestly, it's worth it to give your bedroom a little spruce every once in a while. You may regret it halfway through, but nothing beats the satisfying feeling of when you finish tidying. Give it a try on your next day off.
Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back again soon with another post.
See you then.

Unless you keep your boat in a marina, a good day on the water starts with trailering to the ramp. That’s why it’s important you stay on top of trailer maintenance.
Among the trailer features that should be on your regular checklist are the wheel bearings – more specifically, the bearing grease. These bearings are located inside the hubs on the trailer axle and allow the wheels to spin freely as you travel down the road. While traveling, the spinning force generates friction, and the friction generates heat. To keep the bearings from overheating, they need to be lubricated, which is done by filling the inner part of the hubs – the part containing the bearings – with grease.
Keeping the bearings lubed and topped off with fresh grease can help ensure you get to and from the ramp safely and without headaches.
Lubricating your bearings is important on any trailer, yet on a boat trailer, there’s the added challenge of regularly submerging the hubs and wheels in water when launching the boat. When the trailer is submerged, the hot hubs and bearings cool immediately. This creates a vacuum that could draw water in through the bearing seals.
To prevent this issue, many boat trailers are equipped with bearing protectors such as the Bearing Buddy®, one of the most popular brands on the market. Essentially a cylinder that is installed in the outer part of the hub, a Bearing Buddy has an internal spring that keeps constant pressure on the grease in the hub. The pressure helps prevent water from being pulled in past the seal.
Another big benefit of bearing protectors is that maintenance is minimal. Typically, you don’t need to clean out and repack the grease for several years, though you’ll want to check the manufacturer’s instructions to make sure you repack them at the appropriate frequency. You do, however, need to check the grease level and top it off if needed.
This process is simple, as shown in the video below by our friends at Wired2Fish. Just be sure to use a marine-appropriate grease, such as Mercury 2-4-C Marine Grease or Mercury High Performance Extreme Grease. Each is a high-quality grease that won’t break down in the presence of water.
How to Check and Top Off Grease
1. Remove the bearing protector cap.
2. Check the grease level by pressing on the edge of the spring-loaded piston. If you can move or rock the piston, the hub has enough grease. Don’t add anymore. If the piston doesn’t move, you need to add more grease.
3. Mount a hand-pump grease gun to the grease fitting, often called a grease zerk, in the center of the piston. Pump in grease until you see the piston start to move out then continue adding grease until the piston rocks approximately 1/8 inch when you press on the edge.
4. Though not required, you can also jack up the trailer so you can spin the tire freely to help distribute the grease before towing.
5. Wipe up any extra grease before replacing the cap on the bearing protector.
Care for Your Bearings – A Mercury Dealer Can Help
Not every trailer is equipped with spring-loaded bearing protectors. Your trailer might have sealed grease hubs, oil bath hubs or some other variety. Some are designed to be essentially maintenance free throughout the season, but you should still always check to make sure you have the appropriate amount of lubricant, there are no leaks and that your hubs are not excessively hot after towing.
Above all, always follow the maintenance instructions and service schedule outlined by the manufacturer. A trailer shop or a Mercury Authorized Dealer can offer advice or service if you’re not comfortable handling trailer maintenance yourself.
Most importantly, make caring for your trailer a priority because it’s vital for keeping you and your boat rolling trip after trip, season after season.

Medical Waste Disposal- The Challenges
If your facility’s biomedical waste is incorrectly disposed of, you could receive a fine even if you weren’t aware of the incorrect disposal. For knowingly dumping it, the fines are even heftier. For example, there’s a case of a Pennsylvania dentist who was fined $100 000 for dumping packets of biohazard waste off his boat.
Where Waste Goes Wrong
Some medical waste disposal companies do not spend enough time on staff education and training. There are those facilities that try to cut back on costs by using incorrect containers. Some try to dump hazardous waste like pharmaceutical supplies into the regular drainage system instead of specially designated sewers.
Surprisingly, medical waste can sometimes be created by non-healthcare facilities. For example, home care nursing staff, diabetics at home who use sharps for diabetes control or factories that provide informal first aid for their workers. Unfortunately, this waste often ends up being thrown out with the normal trash.
Effects of Illegal Dumping
Dumping medical waste illegally puts people at risk for injury and for contracting disease. The WHO has estimated that 12% of HIV cases and 40% of hepatitis cases are caused by the incorrect dumping of medical waste. Even if the waste is burned with the normal garbage it still poses a hazard. The smoke can release mercury vapours, dioxins and other toxic materials into the air.
Avoid fines for the improper handling of your facility’s waste by retaining the services of a reputable hazardous waste disposal company. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Starting operations in Vietnam can create value in many ways. For example, a company might resolve talent shortages faced in their home country, or significantly reduce their overheads. If the project involves software development, entering an emerging economy is a key strategy to get software on the market quicker and/or cheaper. This can extend the available runway, which is great news for startups or scaleups with limited capital.
However, if you speak to an entrepreneur with a lot of experience in the emerging economies of Asia, you’ll probably notice how starting operations can be challenging. Registering a company is the traditional approach that foreign entrepreneurs would use to enter the market and then employ local staff in Vietnam. Despite improvements to the registration process in recent years, this approach exposes foreigners to a potentially lengthy and complicated process. Once the registration is completed, the managers of the Vietnamese company will face an ongoing administrative burden to operate the company and remain compliant with local accounting and labour laws.
In contrast to the traditional approach, many software development companies choose to use an Employer of Record; in this way, they manage to start rapidly and improve their odds of success. This article examines how an Employer of Record can benefit foreign-owned software development projects in Vietnam.
An Employer of Record
An Employer of Record takes the responsibility of payroll and compliance related to local employees working for you. You manage the staff on a day-to-day basis, but an Employer of Record will sign the labour contract with the staff, execute the payroll and submit all required filings to labour and tax departments. Essentially, someone else is in charge of your administration.
Benefits of Employer of Record
There are many benefits of using an Employer of Record in Vietnam.
Lower the Risk of Market Entry
Using an Employer of Record to administer a team of developers in Vietnam makes a project much simpler. You are able to start quickly and with limited investment; otherwise, expect to be waiting for a company to be registered and investing significant capital in that company. Using an Employer of Record is a great approach to test a market’s suitability; for example, you will not be faced with the difficulties of closing a company in the event that Vietnam is not the right choice for the project.
Ensure Compliance with Vietnamese Laws
Vietnam is an attractive opportunity but it remains an emerging market. Laws are changing regularly as the economy is modernized. Accounting law, corporate law and labour laws continue to evolve: keeping up with these developments is a chore, particularly when enforcement of a law may be significantly different to the law itself.
Better Focus on The Core Business
The core business of your company or project is no doubt complex and all-consuming. Rather than becoming distracted by administration and payroll, using an Employer of Record minimizes the time and effort that needs to be directed to these low-value tasks. Instead, you will have more time to direct to the core business of your company; that is the place where you create the real value. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
My friends, let’s end the month of July with a very good news: from today, “Vous permettez, Aznavour?” is available on digital stores. You can find and download it on Spotify, I-Tunes, Amazon, YoutubeMusic and many more other portals, edited by Fluente Records. Thanks for listening to it and for entering in this musical world, so precious and elegant to me. If you’d rather book the CD, you can always order it by clicking here.
Just 8 days left before the release of the CD “Vous permettez, Aznavour?”!
In the past few weeks I have made all the ritual presentations, but now here is a small preview: a video trailer with songs and backstage clips at PlayRec Recording Studio, where everything has been recorded and mixed by the talented Fabio Fraschini. Thanks to Giovanni De Filippi for filming and editing, and thanks to you if you will enter in this musical world.
The CD will be available from next Saturday on this website… enjoy the video!
It is the 22nd of May 1924 and in Paris we witness the birth, from a couple of Armenian immigrants, of he who would become one of the most famous and appreciated French songwriters of the twentieth century. A chansonnier, an interpreter, a source of inspiration for many singers in the decades to come… and, in my own small way, for me as well.
That is why I decided to “give birth” to this website on this very day; a space dedicated to me but above all to my project on Charles Aznavour: a self-produced CD containing the covers of his most beautiful songs and a theatrical concert, in which I will try to share the emotions of his stories.
In the upcoming weeks I will tell you about all of this, introducing the various pieces of this puzzle and tell you all the news … for now, focus on two more important dates:
On July 18th through the website you will be able to book the CD I am completing (consider it a birthday present!)
On October 1st, on the anniversary of Aznavour’s death, I will announce the first official date for the concert (location and details yet to be defined)
Thanks to all who collaborated with me in the realization of all of this… and thanks to you for browsing these pages, they mean so much to me! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A lot of companies have an automated service that answers their incoming phone calls. This cab be frustrating when you’re trying to dial a company and have to wait to enter the extension number each time for the department or person you’re trying to reach. This is especially true when you don’t remember the extension and you have to check out the contact information to find it.
To create a pause, enter a comma between the phone number & the extension. Using this option means that when you dial a number, the extension is used automatically after the dialer app detects that the phone has been answered.
Enter the number like this: 0398573800,1
This should be used when you are calling somewhere that requires listening to the entire automated message before allowing any menu or extension selections. Instead of just keying the numbers for you, a pop-up will appear on the screen with the extension.
To use wait enter a semicolon between the phone number & the extension.

Without rations, your troops cannot fight, move, or hope to survive the harsh Russian winter. Be the first player to control the strategic city of Stalingrad, and you win this historic Battle!
