Angela was so amazing! She was quick to respond with any questions I had about my flowers for my wedding. I sent her some pictures of what I was thinking, and she made the most amazing bouquets! They really are like nothing I've ever seen! And she even worked with me last minute, when I had "bride brain" and forgot to get a corsage for my grandmother, she quickly made an extra one AT my wedding. She also did my center pieces which were beautiful. Any bride thinking of where to get their flowers, please at least chat with Angela before going anywhere else. She will give you a price AND product that you really can't beat! Thanks again Trusted Treasurez!

There are a number of different sets of laws prohibiting discrimination and unfair treatment at work that operate to protect workers.
What is unlawful discrimination?
Unlawful discrimination occurs when a person treats another less favourably because of a specific quality or attribute. The specific qualities and attributes protected by law include a person’s race, sex, pregnancy or marital status, religion, sexual preference, age, disability, family or carer’s responsibilities and/or political opinion.
Sexual harassment (that is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature) is generally considered to be a form of sex discrimination.
Are there any time limits?
There are very strict time limits for the commencement of a claim alleging discrimination. A general protections application that led to the termination of employment (for example termination on the grounds of race), must be commenced within 21 days of termination.
A claim in the Australian Human Rights Commission must be brought within 6 months of the discriminatory treatment that is the subject of the complaint.
You should however contact us as soon as possible to prevent such discriminatory conduct.

First row transition metals have smaller atomic radii and higher electronegativities than other transition metals.
The first row transition metals (scandium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, and nickel) have smaller atomic radii and higher electronegativities than other transition metals. This is due to the increased nuclear charge in the first row, which attracts the electrons more strongly and results in a smaller atomic radius. The higher electronegativity also means that these elements are more likely to form covalent bonds.
In terms of their chemical properties, the first row transition metals have a greater tendency to form compounds with a +2 oxidation state, whereas the other transition metals can form a wider range of oxidation states. This is due to the smaller size of the first row transition metals, which makes it easier for them to lose two electrons and form a stable cation.
The first row transition metals also have lower melting and boiling points than other transition metals. This is due to the weaker metallic bonding in these elements, which is a result of their smaller size and higher electronegativity. The first row transition metals also tend to have lower densities than other transition metals, again due to their smaller size.
Overall, the first row transition metals have some distinct differences in their properties compared to other transition metals. These differences are largely due to their smaller size and higher electronegativity, which affect their atomic and chemical properties. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
TVA Evaluating New Downtown Headquarters Location
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. ― “TVA is committed to downtown Knoxville and we plan to maintain our headquarters here for the foreseeable future,” said TVA President and CEO Bill Johnson as he announced that TVA is investigating the sale of its current headquarters buildings located on Market Square.
“Downtown Knoxville is a vibrant place to do business and the TVA towers sit on prime real estate,” he said. “We are only utilizing about 40 percent of the space, and selling and relocating to an adjacent site could provide development opportunities for the City of Knoxville and cost savings for our customers.
The potential sale, which would also include the TVA-owned Summer Place Office and Garage Complex immediately west of the headquarters building, would be contingent on a new owner constructing a build-to-suit building at Summer Place for TVA’s new headquarters.
“We looked into several options for our Knoxville office complex,” explained Ric Pérez, TVA senior vice president of Shared Services. “Selling the towers and adjacent property and moving across the street could offer the best opportunities and savings for all of our stakeholders.” TVA will continue to evaluate and develop this option before going to the Board of Directors for approval to sell later this year.
TVA had previously considered selling the headquarters buildings in 2004, but market conditions weren’t favorable. CBRE, Inc. has been retained to manage the marketing of the property through its extensive local, national and international network.
TVA has developed a strategic real estate plan that provides a long-term, comprehensive blueprint designed to reduce O&M costs and ensure best use of its real estate assets. As part of the planning process, all TVA real estate is being reviewed with a primary focus on buildings with low occupancy rates and poor material condition.
The Tennessee Valley Authority is a corporate agency of the United States that provides electricity for business customers and local power distributors serving more than 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states. TVA receives no taxpayer funding, deriving virtually all of its revenues from sales of electricity.

TVA Seeking Public Input on Draft Environmental Assessment For New Transmission Line
KOSCIUSKO, Miss. – The Tennessee Valley Authority has released a draft Environmental Assessment for construction and operation of a 43-mile transmission line between Kosciusko and Ackerman, Mississippi.
TVA is considering this project to improve the reliability of the electrical power system in the area. Providing an additional source of power to the upgraded Kosciusko Substation would address voltage and reliability problems within Central Electric Power Association’s service area.
The draft study considers the environmental effects of purchase approximately 524 acres of right-of-way easements, constructing, operating and maintaining the proposed transmission line route. The new transmission line would be constructed using steel-pole structures and is scheduled to be in service by October 2018.
The draft Environmental Assessment is available online or by contacting Anita Masters, Tennessee Valley Authority, 1101 Market St., BR 4A, Chattanooga, TN, 37402. Comments on the draft Environmental Assessment may be submitted until Dec. 14, 2016 and can be submitted online at the web address above or mailed to Ms. Masters. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Postdocs: Bargaining Update Meeting
Are you interested in learning more about the status of bargaining and getting connected with other Postdocs across campus? Please join a bargaining update meeting on Monday, December 14th at 4:30pm. RSVP here for zoom details.
ASEs: Help Build a Mandate for Bargaining
As we get ready to bargaining a new Academic Student Employee contract this year, it’s critical that every ASE participate in the bargaining survey. To build a clear, representative mandate for members’ collective priorities in our next contract, our ASE Organizing Committee has set a goal of turning out more than 50% of all ASEs to participate in the bargaining survey by the end of next week. We are over halfway to that goal, but will only be able to reach it by connecting with at least 1000 more members in the next week. This is only going to be possible through strong collective member-to-member contacts across UW.
There are two key things every member can do to help this week:
- Take the survey: If you haven’t already, take five minutes now to fill out the bargaining survey! Your participation is critical for ensuring your priorities are reflected in the bargaining agenda when we begin negotiations next quarter.
- Connect with other members: It will take a ton of member-to-member contact across campus to reach the kind of high participation we all need to start bargaining off strong. Reminders are far more effective when they come from a fellow member that someone knows, which means your participation is vital to this effort. Please sign up for 1-2 hours of bargaining survey phone- and text-banking here. All the materials you need will be provided (call/text list, a script, short training), so don’t worry if this is your first time getting active in your union!
Membership Meeting Next Thursday 12/10
Our next membership meeting will be Thursday 12/10 from 5-6pm, and will be conducted via Zoom. More details about how you can join the Zoom meeting will follow in next week’s email and will be posted here. The proposed agenda for the meeting is as follows:
- Approve Agenda
- Approve Minutes
- Postdoc bargaining
- Academic Student Employee bargaining
- Code of conduct
- Upcoming actions – Phonebanking for Georgia Senate runoffs, Kshama Solidarity Campaign
Any member who would like to propose additional agenda items or submit materials for the meeting is welcome to email email@example.com by 5pm on Wednesday, December 9. All members in good standing are encouraged to attend, and anyone who is not yet a member can sign up here beforehand.
Help with Georgia Senate Runoff Elections
As our Election Response Workgroup continues developing opportunities for taking political action following last month’s election, one way for every member to help build towards a progressive national political program is by getting involved in the Georgia Senate runoff races. Working people desperately need relief and support as we face yet another spike in COVID cases, but so far proposals to help everyday people are stalled in the Senate. Join UAW members from across our region to turn out voters in Georgia and help flip the Senate! Sign up here for information and opportunities to get involved.
International Solidarity Workgroup
The Graduate School has announced work abroad guidelines for graduate students. If you are an ASE starting or continuing work abroad, please reach out to the International Solidarity Workgroup (ISW) at firstname.lastname@example.org if you have run into issues receiving an offer of employment that you were expecting for Winter Quarter. Additionally, please reach out to the ISW if you are being asked to work from abroad during hours that are untenable or unhealthy.
Working from home can present new sets of challenges, particularly with respect to mental health. We would like to highlight a resource that could be useful to our members — UW has recently partnered with My SSP to provide real-time, confidential mental health and crisis intervention support, 24/7 and in multiple languages students who are physically out of state and/or for any student who is in crisis. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a comprehensive framework developed by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that all companies working within the defense industrial base (DIB) meet specific cybersecurity standards. This certification is required for all organizations that do business with the DoD, including prime contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors.
To determine which CMMC level applies to your organization, there are seven key things you need to know:
The CMMC is comprised of five levels, ranging from basic cyber hygiene practices (Level 1) to advanced cybersecurity capabilities (Level 5). Each level builds upon the previous one, with Level 1 serving as the foundation for higher levels.
The CMMC framework is designed to help organizations assess and manage their cybersecurity risks. Each level has specific requirements that must be met in order to achieve certification, based on the type of information and systems they handle.
Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs):
To obtain a CMMC certification, organizations must undergo a third-party assessment by a C3PAO. These organizations are trained and authorized by the DoD to conduct audits and determine if an organization meets the cybersecurity standards required for their level of certification.
Before undergoing a third-party assessment, organizations can perform a self-assessment to identify any gaps in their current cybersecurity practices. This can help them prepare for the official assessment and make any necessary improvements to meet the required standards.
The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) is a set of regulations that outlines specific security controls that organizations must adhere to in order to do business with the DoD. The CMMC incorporates these requirements into its framework, making it essential for organizations to achieve certification in order to maintain compliance.
Achieving a CMMC certification is not a one-time process. Organizations must continuously monitor their cybersecurity practices and make necessary improvements to maintain their level of certification. This ensures that organizations are consistently meeting the required standards and protecting sensitive information.
The DoD has released a timeline for implementing the CMMC requirements in contracts, with the expectation that all organizations in the DIB will have a CMMC certification by 2026. It is important for organizations to start preparing now in order to meet these deadlines and continue doing business with the DoD.
In conclusion, understanding which CMMC level applies to your organization is crucial for maintaining compliance with DoD requirements and protecting sensitive information. By knowing the key aspects of the CMMC framework and taking necessary steps to achieve certification, your organization can continue doing business with the DoD and contribute to a safer and more secure defense industrial base. Let’s work together to build a strong cybersecurity posture for our national defense. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
James Lewis Talbert Lectureship in Pediatric Surgery
Unrestricted funds for department.

Germany’s President Frank-Walter Steinmeier had to spend an hour in a bomb shelter during his visit to Ukraine on Tuesday, UNIAN reports.
Steinmeier just arrived in Koryukivka, Chernihiv Oblast, and was speaking with Koryukivka Mayor Ratan Akhmedov when the air alert signal went off. Keeping the German president company in the shelter were the mayor, the head of the Chernihiv Oblast Military Administration Vyacheslav Chaus, and local people.
“We spent more than an hour in the shelter and continued speaking for some time even after the white alert. The president of Germany was interested in hearing the stories of the locals about how they survived the occupation, how they stopped the Russian tanks,” Akhmedov told UNIAN.
Steinmeier arrived in Kyiv in the morning by train. His compartment was decorated with a bouquet of irises as a symbol of Ukraine’s gratitude to Germany for the IRIS-T air defense systems, according to Ukrzaliznytsya, the national railroad operator.

A generous gift from a University of Mississippi alumnus will support Spring Pride Camp, an annual event designed to provide fun, networking opportunities and information on campus resources for students who are members and allies of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) community.
The gift will also provide support for student programming in the LGBTQIA+ Lounge, which was dedicated in late 2019. Located on the fourth floor of Lamar Hall, the lounge has been a space for social gatherings by OUTGRAD and served as headquarters for the planning of the Glitterary Festival, an LGBTQ+ literary conference that is free and open to the university community.
Through the Dr. Jesse L. White Jr. Fund for the Center for Inclusion & Cross-Cultural Engagement, Jesse White of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, hopes the transformation on the UM campus will continue by creating more opportunities and space for LGBTQ+ community members.
“Being very interested in issues of social justice, I am very pleased to see the effort being made at Ole Miss to be more inclusive,” said White, a Mississippi native and 1966 UM graduate.
“Such a place like the lounge or an event like Pride Camp would have been unthinkable when I was here as a student. I’m thrilled for the work being done and I’m glad I am able to support it.”
The Division of Diversity and Community Engagement — which includes the Center for Community Engagement and the Center for Inclusion & Cross-Cultural Engagement — worked in partnership with the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies and the Department of Writing and Rhetoric to create the space.
Shawnboda Mead, vice chancellor for diversity and community engagement said, “The lounge is a space that fosters community and support for LGBTQ+ students and allies and will serve as a physical location for upcoming events such as Pride Camp, movie nights and more.
“We are especially grateful for Dr. White’s generosity,” she continued. “His support will allow us to host even more programs and services that help LGBTQ+ students feel welcomed at UM, become connected to available resources and develop a greater sense of community.”
The LGBTQ+ Lounge Series, which is sponsored by the White Fund, has monthly events scheduled this fall, including Story Slam: Coming Out on Oct. 12.
“Thanks to our Fall Pride Camp and the new event series, we’ve had students tell us that they now feel like they belong here at the University of Mississippi,” said Isaiah Wilson, coordinator for LGBTQ+ programming. “We’ve had feedback from them saying they feel like the campus is a safe space for them and that they have a family here.”
Jaime Harker, director of the Sarah Isom Center for Women & Gender Studies, said the university has made great strides in creating support systems and programs for queer students, including Pride Camp, Lavender Graduation, the Oxford Pride Parade, numerous conferences and the annual Queer Lecture Series.
“Enlisting donor support is critical to sustain and expand this work,” Harker said. “The LGBTQ+ community has always been part of the larger UM community and it is a vibrant, courageous, resilient group that we should celebrate and support.”
Levi Bevis, president of the UM LGBTQIA+ Alumni Chapter, said White’s gift will enable current and future UM students to find a welcoming community.
“We are exceptionally grateful and proud to see Dr. White’s donation creating a more inclusive university environment that empowers and supports all students and alumni, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression,” Bevis said.
“We hope this donation encourages others to join our university community to provide additional resources and opportunities for LGBTQ+ students and allies.”
White said, “I hope this support continues to expand the welcome mat for LGBTQ+ kids and allies on campus. The university has come a long way since I was a student here.”
To make a gift to the Dr. Jesse L. White Jr. Fund for the Center for Inclusion & Cross-Cultural Engagement send a check, with the fund’s name noted in the memo line, to the University of Mississippi Foundation, 406 University Ave., Oxford, MS 38655; or give online at https://give.olemiss.edu.

Fundamental execution was strong across UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) in the fourth quarter and throughout the full year 2020, led by Optum and by UnitedHealthcare’s community and senior benefit businesses, even as the Company delivered expansive voluntary relief efforts for consumers, care providers and customers across the health system.
“I couldn’t be prouder of the more than 325,000 women and men of this enterprise for their role in advancing a higher performing health system during these times of unprecedented challenges” said David S. Wichmann, chief executive officer of UnitedHealth Group. “We are grateful for the human spirit and resolve of our people, including our 125,000 clinicians who, with other frontline health care workers, demonstrated extraordinary collaboration, compassion and innovation.”
The full year and fourth quarter results reflect continued strong performance, impacted by COVID-19 care costs, continued voluntary consumer and customer assistance initiatives and other pandemic-related factors. As expected, fourth quarter net earnings of $2.30 per share and adjusted earnings of $2.52 per share declined as care patterns normalized, while COVID-19 costs rose, and further rebate effects were recognized. The 2020 results were consistent with the outlook provided by the Company at its December 1st, 2020 Investor Conference.
The Company affirmed its recently issued full year earnings outlook for 2021, including net earnings of $16.90 to $17.40 per share and adjusted net earnings of $17.75 to $18.25 per share. As previously discussed, this outlook includes approximately $1.80 per share in potential net unfavorable impact to accommodate continuing COVID-19 effects, such as: testing and treatment costs; the residual impact of people deferring care in 2020; and unemployment and other economy-driven factors. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

BARCELONA, Spain, July 15 (UPI) -- The two major pro-secessionist parties of Spain's Catalonia province announced they would run a unified slate of candidates in September's regional elections.
The decision by the ruling Democratic Convergence party and the opposition Republican Left of Catalonia, earlier this week, could invigorate a popular movement in the relatively prosperous province to declare its independence from Spain. Political leaders call the Sept. 27 vote a referendum on Catalonia's independence, which they say could come within six months of the election.
Enthusiasm for independence has declined since an informal referendum in November 2014. An October poll by Catalonia's Opinion Studies Center noted 49.4 percent of respondents approved of independence; it fell to 44.5 percent by December.
Catalonia accounts for one-quarter of Spain's exports, and has seen massive rallies supporting formation of an independent country. Supporters claim the administration of Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy overtaxes the province without respecting its unique culture and heritage. Rajoy has said Catalonian independence would be unconstitutional.
The two parties said their slate of candidates would include prominent Catalans from civil society, an indication of voters' disenchantment with politicians. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Understanding Medicare Premiums: Why Do Costs Keep Rising?
Medicare is a nationwide healthcare program that helps provide medical and healthcare services for a huge majority of senior citizens over the age of 65, and in some cases, people younger than 65 with certain health specifications. As with any type of insurance, Medicare does require insurance premiums depending on a person’s income and eligibility, and if you are a Medicare member, you may have noticed a recent increase in these payment requirements. If you have questions about Medicare in Louisville, Kentucky, Uquote is here to help. Continue reading to learn more about Medicare premiums and the reasons that the prices have been increasing.
How Income-Related Adjustments Impact Premiums
One major factor affecting Medicare premiums is income-related adjustments. These adjustments, known as Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amounts (IRMAA), apply to Parts B and D and are determined by your annual income. For higher earners, IRMAA significantly increases premiums, making Medicare less affordable for those above a specific income threshold set by the Social Security Administration.
- Part B and Part D Premium Adjustments: Higher earners may pay an additional surcharge, with the exact amount based on modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). For example, individuals earning more than $97,000 (or $194,000 for married couples filing jointly in 2023) will see increased premiums.
- Planning Tip: Reviewing your income sources and exploring tax strategies can help lower your MAGI and potentially reduce your IRMAA-adjusted premiums.
The Role of Inflation and Rising Healthcare Costs
Inflation impacts nearly every aspect of the economy, and healthcare is no exception. Rising healthcare costs—including hospital services, prescription drugs, and medical staff salaries—inevitably increase Medicare premiums.
- Healthcare Advancements and Aging Population: As medical treatments and technologies advance, they often come with higher costs. Additionally, the growing number of Medicare enrollees due to the aging baby boomer population adds strain to the system, pushing premiums higher.
A Long-Term Perspective: Historical Premium Changes
Looking at historical premium changes offers valuable context for current trends. For example:
- In 2000, the standard Part B premium was $45.50.
- By 2023, it had increased to $164.90—a reflection of both inflation and increasing healthcare demands.
Managing Premium Increases: Practical Tips
While rising premiums are often unavoidable, there are ways to manage the costs effectively:
Extra Help Programs: Designed for individuals with limited income and resources, these programs assist with prescription drug costs under Part D and help cover deductibles and coinsurance.
- Eligibility: Qualifying for the Extra Help program depends on income and asset thresholds. Applications can be submitted through the Social Security Administration.
- SEO Tip: Use keywords like “Medicare Extra Help program” and “reduce Medicare premiums” to attract readers searching for cost-saving solutions.
Medigap Policies: Supplemental insurance can cover out-of-pocket expenses not addressed by Medicare, reducing financial strain.
Annual Plan Reviews: Regularly reviewing your Medicare plan during the Open Enrollment Period ensures you’re not overpaying for unnecessary coverage. It’s an excellent time to compare Part C and D options.

USCIS Announces Trial for Updates to the Naturalization Test
Federal Register Notice Published Today Announces Nationwide Trial
WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today published a notice in the Federal Register announcing that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) plans to conduct a trial for updates to the current naturalization test. The naturalization test has four components: reading, writing, civics, and ability to speak English. The reading and writing portions of the naturalization test are standard. The purposes of the trial are to test a civics component with updated format and content and a newly developed English-speaking component that could become standard.
President Biden’s Executive Order 14012, Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immigration Systems and Strengthening Integration and Inclusion Efforts for New Americans, includes a directive to review the naturalization process. In response, USCIS subject matter experts conducted reviews of the naturalization test and recommended redesigning the speaking and civics test to improve testing standards. The proposed revisions are consistent with the feedback that USCIS has received from multiple external stakeholder groups.
“The naturalization test is a key step in becoming a U.S. citizen,” said USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. “We welcome input from – and the participation of – stakeholders who are familiar with this important process, as we continue to improve and update our naturalization test, ensuring that it is consistent with industry testing standards.”
The updates to the naturalization test that will be assessed during this trial are based on feedback from stakeholders about the standardization and structure of the naturalization test. USCIS will conduct the trial with the help of volunteer community-based organizations (CBOs) who work with immigrant English language learners and lawful permanent residents preparing for naturalization. USCIS will seek approximately 1,500 individuals enrolled in adult education classes to take the trial test. The agency may use the results of the trial to support changes to the naturalization test.
USCIS will conduct national engagements for interested CBOs and will then publish a request for volunteer CBOs on the USCIS Citizenship Resource Center. The trial is tentatively scheduled for a five-month period in 2023.

As Coach Whisler used to say, “It was a good day to run a race!” The temperature was finally not disgustingly hot. We trained hard last week but had the weekend to rest and an easy day (3 ish miles) yesterday. But most of all, these runners made decisions. They decided to go out today and compete. I’ve only written a race report like this one other time in my years of coaching… but every single Bear ran either a Season Best or a Personal Best today. They just GOT IT DONE.
The Jr Bears were on fire. All five ran personal best times. All five medaled. Ian and Jaelynn broke the school course records, with Ian posting the overall school record – running his 2-mile in under 12 minutes. Maklyn took 1:11 off her PR, Annabelle beat her goal by 0:25 and Clark not only earned a medal but also beat his PR by 0:49. The girls team won their race, with a score of 10! So proud of these 5 kids and the work they have put in.
Julia, Katie, and Israel all earned Season Best times. They were focused and high-energy. These girls have earned a medal at this meet every year (Izzy and Julia X3 and Katie X2.) Watching them run today reminded me so much of watching them at the state meet last year. It was the same kind of determination; they made a decision before the race and did the work to see it through. Kyler’s PR made a HUGE jump (4:28!) Lanae broke 30 minutes for the first time. Julia broke the junior course record, which had been held by her sister Olivia for 2 years.
Sebi dipped below 19 min for the first time this season. He has developed a “relaxed” running style that looks almost effortless as he gets stronger each week. He was the boys’ lone medalist. Ben and Isaac earned PRs again. They are working hard at practice; training with Sebi when they can. They are intentional: strategizing and setting process goals. It’s working. Ben is seconds away from breaking 20 and Isaac earned a giant PR, improving by 1:02. Leland didn’t know if he could run- he’s been congested and wheezy. He asked what he should do if he couldn’t breathe during the race (my advice was to STOP). He wanted to give it a try and ran his best time of the season. Noah continues to impress his teammates by never giving up. He passed 4 runners in the last mile as they faded, he maintained pace and added in surges to pass. He was rewarded with his first 5k in under 30 minutes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

In its work identifying potential trail building projects in The Valley, the Mad River Path Association has honed in on a new location: Sugarbush Access Road.
According to the association's executive director, Will Flender, Sugarbush Access Road "is not really a safe place to be walking—and sometimes biking," he said. Building some sort of path for pedestrians and cyclists alongside the road could be "a pretty important facility, because of the population density of that area," he said, referring to its many ski houses and condos.
Flender came before the Warren Select Board at their meeting on Tuesday, June 23, to ask for their support in applying for a grant from the Vermont Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition to perform a scoping study of the land leading up to the mountain.
"It's not a cheap endeavor," Flender told the board, explaining that the study will cost about $25,000. Per the conditions of the grant, Warren has to be the party to apply for it, but "I would do all the work," Flender said. If the scoping study is funded, the town would be responsible for a 10 percent match—about $1,750—toward which Sugarbush Resort has said it would contribute $1,000.
Until the study is complete, Flender is not sure what the town-owned trail will look like. It probably wouldn't be a sidewalk, "but maybe some sort of side path," he said. "You do have a nice wide right of way up there," he told the board.
"I personally love trails," select board chair Andy Cunningham said, and "I've got to think it would help a lot of people up there," he said. "I think you're talking about willing landowners, in this case," he said, and Flender agreed.
"It would be an enhancement to their property," Flender said.
And so, the Warren Select Board voted unanimously to support the Mad River Path Association in pursuing funding for the project. Applications are due July 17, Flender said, and if the town receives the grant the scoping study would likely be done next year.
"I'm not under any illusion that it's going to be a cheap project up there," Flender said of the actual construction of a path alongside the access road, but the resort has "a lot of good access points," he said, "and I think it's worth looking at." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This was posted from my Twitter account as a 9-Tweet thread, as a response to Facebook’s takedown of VDARE.com’s Facebook page for what they call "Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior". [PDF]
Just sent this to @Facebook
Dear Facebook: I write in response to your 1) disabling of the VDARE.com account 2) making a public statement about VDARE.com’s practices and intentions vis a vis our account’s termination.
Because it informs the termination of our account, I will start with the second issue first. We did not have more than one account. The single account we had was not fake. It was completely traceable as evidenced by users’ ability to make a tax-deductible donation from Facebook, through Network For Good, to the VDARE.com bank accounts. We do not pedal conspiracy. We do not interfere with elections, whatever that means, and have consistently and meticulously honored our limitations as a 501c3.
Regarding the termination of our account, we are completely baffled. We were, of course, dismayed to discover the termination and have awaited explanation for four long days. You gave us no warning. We have to date not received any communications at all regarding any strikes, decisions or justifications for this unwarranted termination. The first we hear is from a public statement defaming our business and implicating us in some wild scheme of which we had no part.
[Screenshot of FB Report.]
Further, if your rationale for terminating VDARE.com’s account is to be taken at face value, that is, that we have been terminated as a result of our alleged practices on Facebook, why are our readers being muzzled also?
It is currently impossible for anyone to post links to VDARE.com articles on Facebook, no matter who is posting them. Our readers and donors are distressed about this and have written to us for an explanation.
Why would our alleged infractions impact their Facebook privileges? Finally, it is my understanding that users own the data they choose to post to Facebook. You are currently holding ours hostage.
If you will not reinstate VDARE.com’s page, please return all data immediately and refund us the money we spent advertising.

Another step closer to acquiring Kuhn Hospital property?
Published 6:52 pm Saturday, October 15, 2016
The city of Vicksburg could be one step closer to fully acquiring the Kuhn Hospital property after Monday.
The Board of Mayor and Alderman is expected Monday to approve a resolution to settle with two of the six organizations having an ownership interest in the property, which has been a eyesore in the city for almost 20 years.
The settlements follow action by the board in August to acquire the property by eminent domain, a legal process that allows a governmental body to take private property and convert it to public use, subject to reasonable compensation to the property owner.
“We felt if we could get through this eminent domain without any opposition, it would be quicker and less costly than having to have an appraiser come testify and have a contested trial. The board agreed to pay them,” City Attorney Nancy Thomas said.
According to a copy of the resolution, the two organizations, Easthaven Ventures and Symbiotic Partners agreed to cash settlements totaling $2,980, with Easthaven getting $1,700, and Symbiotic getting $1,280. The settlement involves money paid at tax sales to get the property.
Thomas said the city presently has verbal agreements from the Esther Stewart Buford Foundation and two other organizations to turn over their titles to the city.
“It (the settlement) can’t come fast enough for me,” said North Ward Alderman Michael Mayfield, whose ward includes Kuhn. “This is one property that should have been gone may years ago. It has just sat there and it has been an eyesore in that community for many years. We’ve had several different factions that have made promises about that property but have never done anything meaningful.
“I’m 100 percent favorable of taking it down, and not just taking it down, but bringing something to fruition that’s going to be worthy to this city. Hopefully some new houses.”
The decision to acquire the property came after the board in April approved a resolution adopting and authorizing a 33-page urban renewal plan to first demolish the buildings on the property and clear it, then begin the process of finding a developer or nonprofit agency to develop it into a multipurpose residential/commercial development with recreational facilities.
The city is also seeking a Brownfields grant to help pay the estimated $850,000 cost of razing the buildings on the property, removing an underground diesel storage tank and clearing and cleaning the property. The city must own the property to be able to apply for the grant.
A former city hospital, the city sold Kuhn to the State of Mississippi in 1956 for $5, and the state operated the facility as a charity hospital, initially known as the Vicksburg Charity Hospital, until 1989.
The city regained the property in 1990 under an agreement with the state to turn it over to a private corporation.
In 1993, the building was considered as a possible veterans home, and in 1994, it was considered for a possible 38-bed adolescent psychiatric ward.
In 1999, the building was sold to the Lassiter-Studdard Group Inc., which planned to open a 100-bed clinic and assisted living center.
The plans fell through, and in 2000 the company donated the building to the Esther Stewart Buford Foundation.
The property has been sold six times for taxes, and city officials have been trying for at least the past 10 years to get the property owner to clean the property and demolish or renovate the buildings on the site.
The board on July 6 put the 12.8-acre property under the city’s slum clearance ordinance in a move to step up its efforts to remove the complex’s main building.
The city’s efforts to do something with the property accelerated in the aftermath of the abduction and murder of Sharen Wilson, whose body was found on the property June 28.
Police said Wilson was killed in the back building and her body left on the property, where ghost hunters who were on the site found it. When the parties with an interest in the property failed to present plans to either raze or renovate the two buildings on the site in September, it cleared the way to begin the process for their demolition. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

These synthetic-bladed swords provide an excellent option for sparring and theatrical use, being inherently safer than steel or aluminum.
The blades are designed to flex in the last one-third of their length towards the tip, allowing for much safer thrusting than with conventional wooden wasters or shinai. The blade/tang joint is reinforced by a high tensile steel rod running along the full length of the handle, so removing the handle flex typically associated with plastic training swords.
The grips are manufactured from a rubber-like thermoplastic elastomer, designed to absorb the impact of strikes and to provide a tight fit on the tangs.
Blade Length: 34"
Handle Length: 4.5"
Weight: 1.54 lbs
Point of Balance: 5.5"

Penny Arcade has been living the bohemian life in New York City, and making art about it, on and off for more than four decades. She says she is “fundamentally a poet,” but also sings, dances, acts, and claims a hand in defining performance art in the 1980s. Arcade — a.k.a. Susana Ventura — is also a contributor to GVSHP’s book, Greenwich Village Stories, which collects both written remembrances and artwork from dozens of accomplished local figures. She will honor GVSHP by hosting its Village Awards ceremony on June 6th, 2018.
Rumored to have found her education in reform school, she ran away from her home town of New Britain, Conn at the age of 17. She moved to downtown Manhattan, was sheltered by drag queens and fell under the tutelage of gay artists including Andy Warhol; the filmmaker and performance artist Jack Smith; and John Vaccaro, founder of the avant-garde Play-House of the Ridiculous theater group.
Taking a note from her drag mentors, Ventura renamed herself Penny Arcade and through the 1980s solidified her place in the firmament of downtown performance artists, presenting shows incorporating burlesque dancers, and mixing personal biography with passionate and sarcastic monologues about the AIDS epidemic, the women’s and gay rights movements, and her own right to flaunt her body and her mind. She came to be known as known as “the queen of the underground.”
Since 1992 Arcade, along with longtime collaborator Steve Zehentner, have created over ten full length shows that have toured around the world. Their latest show, Longing Lasts Longer, which currently has dates Joe’s Pub at The Public, has been performed in over 39 cities and with more to come. She and Steve have also recently collaborated on The Lower East Side Biography Project. The LES Biography Project’s biographies and archive works “to ensure that future generations have access to the mad souls of invention that built this New York City neighborhood’s reputation as an incubator for authenticity, rebellion and iconoclasm.”
Penny Arcade has never wavered or relaxed in her quest to entertain, challenge, and expand both herself and her audience. It has been said that she possesses a rare ability to articulate ideas that “are still forming in the collective psyche that have not yet emerged nor have been sanctioned by collective consciousness.”
We are looking forward to Arcade’s unique voice at the Village Awards. We know she will be anything but conventional!
Read about our 2018 awardees here.
The Village Awards are a time-honored spring tradition in the Village. We hope you will join Penny Arcade and GVSHP to celebrate the most unique and wonderful aspects of our communities on June 6th. To register, click here. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What about paragliding with Insta360?
The ultimate way to capture your paragliding tandem flight with us is using the Insta360 camera. We are currently on the X3 but soon we will film with the brand new Insta360 X4 as well. With two 180 degree lenses this camera and it’s software will stitch just the two resulting recordings together and take out the selfie stick (!!!). Then later at home we will go and edit a few movies for you as well as take a whole series of single frames for you as high resolution photos. We will send it to you on Whatsapp and also via wetransfer.com.
The current standard in tandem paragliding is capture with GoPro filming in HD or 4K. With us that is included in the price. What are the differences with Insta360:
The possibility to zoom, look around and take the best shots in high resolution are amazing. The third and fourth photo are the same image with and without zoom. Take a look:
Video with Insta360
Now let’s look at the video … the first video is the full 180 degree view like in a looking glass. Normally we don’t edit it like this but it’s fun to look at anyway:
In an edit we will just zoom and move the view such that the action and the emotion of the start is best captured. See below …
And now for a wing-over and spiral which really shows the power of an Insta360 camera. During start, landing and action flying the passenger holds the camera but as said before the stick is edited out by the software.
That’s awesome right? Usually we will make 3 or 4 video’s each shorter than one minute which is perfect for social media. Raw Insta video file size will be more than 10 Gigabyte for 15 minutes of video easily. After processing with the free Insta360 Studio software (Mac only) each video file will be around 100MB. With a second regular video editor we reduce this further to about 20MB per short video in HD.
Of course there are other 360 camera’s on the market. The high quality GoPro MAX and some cheaper brands. However: Insta360 is really the absolute market leader in this new exciting area of the action video world. So for the time being we will stick with this brand and also strongly recommend it to any consumer looking to buy an action cam him or herself.
I want to buy an Insta360 X4 myself!
Great! Whether you are a skier, snowboarder, kitesurfer, paraglider or you do parcours … maybe motorcycle, horse riding or even running for that matter, just go and get your own Insta360 camera. If you then come to fly with us, we will film with your camera for free! The current price of an Insta360 X4 is less than 600 euro. Depending on the options and special kits it could be up to 800. It’s really, really good value for money. Want one? Go buy it here!
How much is it with the pilot’s camera?
So now finally let’s cut to the chase and tell you how much you pay for us to record with Insta360 and send you the video edits and the photo collection. Just so you understand: it’s easily an hour of work to do it properly. But we are happy to do this for you for an extra amount of 50 euro. You simply pay this extra amount to the pilot and then some hours later, probably in the evening of the same day, you get your surprise first on Whatsapp and then via wetransfer.com. The images are 100% yours. If we want to use some on our social media or for other marketing purposes we will explicitly ask you for permission.
- You provide your own camera (buy here). We put it on our selfie stick. This is for free!! You may consider giving the pilot a tip though.
- You just want the raw footage of our Insta360 because you can edit it yourself. In this case we will give you our professional 32GB U3 SD card at cost price of 15 euro and a tip is appreciated as well.
- You have special video idea’s or requests: we will do this at a custom price.

A Starbucks on Every--and We Mean Every--Corner
Photo Illustration by James Porto for Newsweek
Newsweek reports on Starbucks' real estate strategy and expansion plans:
While it may seem that there's already a Starbucks on every corner, chairman Howard Schultz says the company is just getting started. His previous goal of 10,000 stores in the United States, set in 2002, now appears "light," he says, and the company plans to double the current number of domestic stores to nearly 12,000. To meet that target, Starbucks will speed up its rollout of drive-throughs and kiosks at airports and supermarkets. And it will continue challenging one of the prime tenets of retail: don't locate your new stores close to your old ones. Don't be fooled: the key to its success is not the taste of its coffee. "The two things that made them great are real estate and making sure that no one has a bad experience in their stores," says CIBC World Markets analyst John Glass.
Starbucks' unconventional approach to real estate goes back to an impulse decision by Schultz more than 15 years ago. In 1988 he visited the company's first international store, in downtown Vancouver, B.C., and saw what every retailer dreams about: a busy store. But he also saw customers twitching in long lines as they waited for their coffee. He startled his real-estate broker by suggesting they expand to the vacant lot directly across the intersection. "It wasn't a different neighborhood but it had a different vibe," Schultz recalls. He sensed that each side of the street had its own traffic pattern, and that customers are reluctant to alter their routines or delay their day for a cup o' joe they consider a luxury.
Starbucks is, of course, the touchstone example of the trend I document in The Substance of Style. It's been a pioneer in creating economic value not just from coffee and service but from the look and feel of its store environments--so much so that now everybody "wants to be like Starbucks." But the company's strategy demands more than a standard cookie-cutter style, however attractive. It requires the ability to vary the aesthetic from store to store while maintaining a distinctive Starbucks identity. Here's the relevant passage from chapter four of TSOS:
Effective surfaces, whether for people, places, or things, reveal layers of identity and association while preserving a fundamental sense of self. A graphic identity, says [graphic designer Stephen] Doyle, "is like a personality. You need to be able to take the same person to a black tie dinner and then see them at a barbecue, and then hang out in front of the [television] with them in their socks. It's still the same personality, but adapted for different occasions." The days of the unvarying stand-alone trademark and the single corporate color are over--too impersonal, inflexible, and monotonous for the age of look and feel. The challenge for designers, as for individuals, is to be true to the "self" of underlying identity while still allowing appearance to vary with time, place, and circumstance.
Every Starbucks looks like Starbucks, yet every Starbucks is unique, combining in a singular way elements of the company's language of colors, finishes, materials, lighting, and music. "People are amazed that we have stores across the street from each other," says the company's director of business development. "But they're different stores." The Starbucks design language does more than allow stores to accommodate different spaces or traffic patterns. Following the aesthetic imperative, different store environments offer novelty--a change of pace for regular customers--and personalization. If the color of one store "reminds you of something from your childhood that you intensely dislike, you can go three stores down to a different Starbucks and say, 'I like this better. I just feel better here,'" she explains. By developing mix-and-match elements, Starbucks maintains its aesthetic personality while still suiting different tastes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Starting next year, the Revenue Agency will also make the pre-filled income tax return available for holders of different incomes and for holders of VAT numbers.
The annual declaration for withholding agents is simplified, and the Unique Certification for flat-rate subjects and those under a tax advantage regime is eliminated
The latest meeting of the Council of Ministers brought significant changes in the tax area. Among others, the intervention in the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights is highlighted, as well as measures aimed at rationalizing and simplifying tax compliance.
Simplification of tax compliance is pursued with the broader goal of:
- Encourage spontaneous compliance
- Reducing compliance and harmonizing declaration and payment terms
- Simplifying forms and increasing digital services available to citizens
- Promoting the digitalization of services for small and medium enterprises
The Council of Ministers has provided that from 2024:
- The deadline for submitting income and regional tax returns will be brought forward from November 30th to September 30th
- For Ires subjects, it will be on the last day of the ninth month following the end of the tax period.
Furthermore, it has been communicated that the annual declaration for withholding agents will be simplified, and the Unique Certification for flat-rate subjects and those under a tax advantage regime will be eliminated. It is expected that, from next year, the Revenue Agency will also make the pre-filled income tax return available for holders of different incomes and for holders of VAT numbers.
Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights
To ensure the effective application of the principles of legal certainty and the legitimate reliance of the taxpayer, it is established, among other things, that:
- Legal presumptions do not apply retroactively
- All measures that adversely affect the recipient must be preceded, under penalty of annulment, by informed and effective contradictory proceedings
- Tax acts, the reasoning of which can also occur by reference, must be reasoned “under penalty of annulment”, with specific indication of the assumptions, means of proof, as well as the legal reasons on which the decision is based.
Moreover, the ten-year obligation to keep tax documentation is extended to accounting records (after the decade, the financial administration is precluded from using the documentation for evidentiary purposes), and the principle of ne bis in idem in the tax procedure is expressly introduced, establishing that the administration can exercise the investigative action only once for each tax period. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Window films to create privacy while enhancing your interior design
Most office and property managers have seen the dramatic increase in the use of glass walls and partitions in offices, conference rooms and common areas. While this creates more open and friendly space for employees or tenants, it also results in a lack of privacy in many instances.
3M Sandblast Films - A popular choice to create privacy
The most effective solution to address privacy concerns is to apply a translucent window film on the full glass surface or on the glass in the 'line of sight'.
The most common film is one that produces a ‘sandblasted’ or frosted look on the glass. This allows a large amount of light to pass through, and at the same time solves the issue of privacy. Stripes or other intricate patterns can also be used to create a semi-private effect while enhancing the design aesthetics of the office. The amount of clear space in the design will determine the level of privacy.
Privacy solutions with easy installation and maintenance
There is no need to remove or replace glass when using a translucent window film to create privacy within an office. 3M certified installation staff apply the film with minimal disruption to your operations. Privacy window film can be easily cleaned with any standard window cleaning solution and quickly removed or replaced if required. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Court Holds That Personal Profit Exclusion Bars Coverage for Claims of Interference with Contract and Violation of Consumer Protection Laws
The United States District Court for the Northern District of California has held that the personal profit exclusion in a directors and officers and employment practices liability policy barred coverage for a judgment against the insureds on claims of interference with contractual relations and violation of Washington’s consumer protection act. Ruling on the insurer’s motion for partial summary judgment, the court held that coverage for the judgment in the underlying action also was barred by a California statute precluding insurance coverage for loss caused by an insured’s willful acts. However, the court separately held that coverage for an award of sanctions for spoliation of evidence was not precluded by the personal profit exclusion or the statute. Axis Reinsurance Co. v. Telekenex, Inc., 2012 WL 6632180 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 19, 2012).
In 2008, a telecommunications provider filed suit against the insured (a competing telecommunication provider) and the insured’s CEO and president. The suit also named as defendants several employees of the insured who previously were employed by the claimant. Alleging that the insureds stole trade secrets and confidential information, the claimant brought numerous causes of action for, among other things, interference with contractual relations, misappropriation of trade secrets, Lanham Act violations and consumer protection act violations. The insurer provided a defense of the lawsuit subject to a reservation of rights. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff on the interference and consumer protection act claims. Following trial, the judge in the underlying action held that a former employee of the competitor, who allegedly funneled business to the insured, had altered and destroyed evidence. The court imposed sanctions against the employee as well as the insured company under a theory of respondeat superior. In coverage litigation brought after the underlying suit was resolved, the insurer filed a motion for summary judgment seeking a declaration that there was no coverage for the judgment or the sanctions.
First, ruling on the motion for summary judgment, the court held that coverage for the judgment was barred by the personal profit exclusion in the policy, which precluded coverage for losses involving “the gaining of any profit, remuneration, or advantage to which the Insured was not legally entitled . . . if evidenced by any judgment . . . .” The court rejected the insureds’ argument that the court could look only to the verdict, judgment and elements of the claim in evaluating the application of the exclusion. While the court held that these were “of primary importance,” it “decline[d] to look at the judgment and the [underlying] court’s findings in a vacuum.” According to the court, “[t]his approach would lead to absurd results, especially where the allegations and the judgment, taken together, clearly indicate that an insured gained a profit or an advantage from its wrongful acts, even though a finding of profit or advantage was not a necessary element of the claims asserted.” Specifically noting that, unlike some similar provisions, the exclusion at issue did not refer to a profit or advantage “in fact,” the court “look[ed] at the judgment in the context of the plaintiff’s allegations and evidence” and held that the exclusion applied. The court held, however, that the exclusion did not apply to the spoliation sanctions imposed against the insureds because there was no evidence that the insureds profited from the destruction of the evidence.
Second, the court held that coverage for the judgment was precluded by California Insurance Code section 533, which provides that “[a]n insurer is not liable for a loss caused by the wilful act of the insured . . . .” After first holding that California law applied, the court held that the insureds’ acts of interference with contractual relations were within the scope of “wilful acts” contemplated by the statute. Examining the underlying jury instructions, the court stated that “the jury necessarily found that [the insureds] acted intentionally with an improper purpose or by improper means and that their actions caused [the competitor] harm.” Because the statute does not apply where the insured is liable only vicariously, the statute did not preclude coverage for the spoliation sanctions imposed due to the actions of an uninsured individual.
The court also held that the insurer was not estopped from denying coverage for failing to inform the insureds of their right to independent counsel. The court held that there was no evidence of detrimental reliance by the insureds because the policy expressly provided the right to select independent counsel, and they did not object to the appointment of new counsel, despite their awareness of the insurer’s reservation of rights and the opportunity to do so.

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is once again serving up the straight facts by bringing its Mobile Learn More Centre to share Canada’s plan for the safe, long-term management of used nuclear fuel, with the neighbourhoods and communities throughout the Municipality of South Bruce.
The mobile centre has returned to the region for the first time in six months, and NWMO staff is excited to meet with citizens from across South Bruce and the surrounding communities face-to-face – but in a safe and physically-distant manner.
“People have the right to accurate information and we have a responsibility to provide it,” says Lisa Frizzell, vice-president of stakeholder relations at the NWMO. “We encourage people to come to the Mobile Learn More Centre and make their own determination based on facts, not misinformation.
“Over the past few months, we have all had to adapt how we work and live. We know many of you have questions, and our staff is here to answer them. That’s why we are excited to open the doors of our Mobile Learn More Centre to the residents of South Bruce and neighbours. You will notice some changes to ensure physical-distancing, but our message remains the same: we are here to share facts about Canada’s plan for the safe, long-term storage of used nuclear fuel.”
“Now is the time to get involved and learn more about Canada’s plan,” said South Bruce mayor Robert Buckle. “I encourage residents across South Bruce and our neighbours in the area to take advantage of this opportunity and tour the Mobile Learn More Centre. We know there are questions – this is a great way to speak to experts first-hand.”
Frizzell also shared information on the ongoing work in South Bruce, including deep borehole drilling to further understand the geology, the importance of local input in the environmental baseline studies, and the ongoing land access process.
This work will help ensure the potential Deep Geological Repository (DGR) will safely contain and isolate used nuclear fuel for centuries to come.
Frizzell also highlighted the recent municipal resolution that focuses on a set of principles stemming from the project visioning work:
“The resolution is an important example of our collaborative approach with the municipality of South Bruce,” she says. “We thank the mayor and council for their ongoing leadership and careful consideration of Canada’s plan for the safe, long-term management of used nuclear fuel.”
The Mobile Learn More Centre is a rolling exhibit designed to travel across the province and country to share Canada’s plan and the NWMO’s work with local communities. It includes multimedia, interactive and static exhibits to explain Canada’s plan for a DGR. The exhibits and the trailer have been adapted to ensure safety and physical-distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
The mobile centre will be at various locations through South Bruce over the next week:
Teeswater Community Centre – Sept. 23-24
Mildmay Freshmart – Sept. 25-26
Belmore Community Centre (Arena) – Sept. 28
Formosa Community Centre – Sept. 29 | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Looking for escape and inspiration for a new career, Christie begins writing romantic fiction instead of the detective novels that had made her a celebrity.
Soon she becomes involved in unraveling a series of mysterious murders. But it’s not all work for Christie: Max Mallowan is the handsome archaeologist determined to win Agatha’s affection despite a 14-year age gap.
“Agatha and the Curse of Ishtar” stars Lyndsey Marshal (The Hours, Rome) as Agatha Christie, and Jonah Hauer-King (World on Fire, Little Women) as Max Mallowan.
While the period drama is largely a work of fiction, it’s no mystery that Christie and Max Mallowan did meet at his dig at the Ur of the Chaldees in Iraq, and the couple later married in real life.
“Agatha and the Curse of Ishtar” is part of special programming premiering on PBS stations beginning Saturday, June 5, 2021 (check local listings).
“Agatha and the Curse of Ishtar” is AVAILABLE to STREAM

-President Weah bids Chief Justice Korkpor farewell.
By: G. Bennie Bravo Johnson
Francis S. Korkpor, the outgoing Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia, has received praises from President George Manneh Weah for his immeasurable and valuable services to national duty and his work on judicial reform at the court, saying that His Honor Francis Korkpor has paid his dues to national duty.
President Weah says it was an honor for him to take part in and witness “this very important event,” which put Justice Korkpor’s career to an end after several years of service. He adds that Chief Justice Korkpor, despite having retired, is still sharp, so he will continue to consult him when necessary.
President Weah noted in a special speech at the conclusion of the March Term of the court and the retirement of Justice Francis S. Korkpor that the guarantee of rights and freedoms is the cornerstone of Liberia’s legal system, making the judiciary essential to democracy. He added that his administration is still working to strengthen the system.
“The national interests were represented by Justice Korkpor when he fought for the rights of the underprivileged and disadvantaged and when he supported journalists and civil society,” according to President Weah.
“We have taken our time with this national effort over the past few years as we work to uphold the independence that this arm of government should have. I must thus commend all of your efforts in this regard, especially those of the man we are honoring today, His Honor Francis Korkpor, the retiring Chief Justice of the Republic of Liberia.
The Supreme Court of Liberia adjourned the Honorable Supreme Court of Liberia’s March Term on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, and the day culminated with Chief Justice Francis S. Korkpor’s formal retirement ceremony.
Members of the diplomatic code, Senate Pro-tempore Albert Chie, Speaker Bhofal Chambers, and members of both houses attended the event, which was held at the Supreme Court’s chamber.
Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor, the Liberia National Bar Association, and numbers of legal professionals were also present.
The departing chief Justice, Korkpor, earned a great deal of praises from his peers during the event and testimonies for his crucial role-playing during his service to the country.
The Liberian leader said that while serving as a retired justice at the Justice and Peace Commission, which was founded by the Catholic Church in the early 1990s to address human rights violations and injustices in our society, he quietly but fearlessly argued for justice and peace for all Liberians, but particularly for the poor and the oppressed.
Mr. Wean also mentioned that Chief Justice Korkpor frequently found himself at odds with some of Liberia’s former leaders, but he consistently remained true to the cause of justice.
“We are fully aware of the critical part the judiciary plays in preserving the peace we have worked so hard to obtain. Therefore, it is anticipated that you will continue to play a crucial role in our efforts to strengthen our democratic credentials as a country as we approach the general and presidential elections next year “urged President Weah.
He urged the judiciary, however, to guarantee that blind justice is served to all, stressing that they would do well to draw upon the superb framework that Justice Francis Korkpor and his associates had established during his tenure as this honorable Supreme Court’s chief justice.
“Justice Korkpor has over two decades of extraordinary and exceptional service as a Justice on the Supreme Court bench. He committed his time to ensuring that important judicial reforms were carried out, first as an Associate Justice and then as Chief Justice. He also started the development of significant additions and improvements to court infrastructure across the nation, bringing justice closer to the people finally”, he said.
In reaction to the many testimonies, outgoing Chief Justice Francis S. Korkpor thanked the Liberians for putting their trust in him and expressed excitement.
He claimed that without the support of his co-workers and the international and national governments for his leadership, his continuous service at the court would not have been feasible.
“When Julie Bryant’s interim administration came to a close, I was the sole justice that former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf reappointed to the Supreme Court. She said that the reason she decided to rehire me was to ensure the program’s integrity, legal acumen, and human rights record. He added that he was chosen right away after Chief Justice Johnny Lewis retired.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Government has launched a new fund to help marginalised women back to work.
The Minister for Women and Equalities has launched a £500,000 fund to help start up innovative programmes in England to help marginalised women return to work.
It says around 1.8 million women are currently economically inactive because they are caring for their home or family – more than eight times the number of men in that position.
Grants from the new fund will only go to those organisations which can show they have direct relationships with employers who can offer jobs opportunities. They will support parents and carers – men and women – back into the workplace through training, refreshing skills and facilitating work placements.
The funding will support vulnerable people who struggle to return to work, including victims of domestic abuse, people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, people who speak little to no English, people with substance abuse support needs, people with mental or physical health issues, people who can’t access public funds due to their immigration status, but who have the right to work, ex-offenders, people struggling to cope with their economic circumstance, and women who experience multiple barriers due to their gender and their faith, sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
Minister for Women and Equalities Penny Mordaunt said: “For too long caring responsibilities, language barriers or the terrible impacts of domestic abuse have held many women back from having the freedom, support and choice to do what they want to do.
“I want all these women to be given the chance to reach their full potential, which is why we are investing in them to grow their skills and their confidence, so they feel ready to return to work when they want to.
“By supporting women at all stages of their lives, we are tapping into previously ignored talent, addressing gender inequality in the workplace and helping our economy grow.”
Mordaunt also announced that the Government Equalities Office will join Cabinet Office from 1 April. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival in the November US presidential election, seems to have put Donald Trump “in trouble” after their recent debate, according to the cover of Time magazine. The cover features the former president on a golf course downhill stuck in the sand in the sport’s signature buggy. “How Kamala Harris Derailed Donald Trump,” is the comment on the post. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s claim that in Springfield, Ohio, “immigrants are eating residents’ pets, cats and dogs” drew plenty of humorous comments. The presenters at the debate quickly corrected him for formal reasons, and the Democratic candidate looked at him in astonishment, but without comment, at a time when the topic was the immigration issue. Here are some comments on X about Trump’s report: It is noted that Donald Trump’s odds fell yesterday on the betting platforms, after his phone fight with […]

All Elite Wrestling superstar Jon Moxley (fka Dean Ambrose in WWE) was a recent guest on Chris Jericho’s Talk is Jericho podcast and opened up on when he decided that it was time for him to leave the WWE.
Moxley said that he actually made the decision to let his contract expire back in July 2018 and that he was sat at home rehabbing his triceps injury, watching wrestling from around the world, which reinvigorated him, however, Moxley noted that with creative ideas flowing, he came to the conclusion that he would never be allowed to execute any of them in the WWE, due to how the creative process works in the company.
Moxley revealed that he flew to New York to meet with WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon to discuss his comeback and that he told Vince that he hated his own character and wanted to start fresh as a heel, however Vince would not allow that, as a Shield reunion was already booked for WWE’s Super Showdown event in Australia. Moxley revealed that he asked to be allowed to return at WWE SummerSlam as a surprise, but the company moved up that process and brought him back a week earlier on Monday Night RAW.
Moxley said that he effectively sat out the remainder of his contract, as he told the WWE on the day of the 2019 Royal Rumble pay-per-view that he was not going to re-sign and that no amount of money would make him change his mind. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Jorge Ramos, who's anchored the news for nearly 4 decades, is leaving Univision
A MARTÍNEZ, HOST:
One of the longest-serving anchors in U.S. television history is stepping down. Univision anchor Jorge Ramos made his announcement yesterday.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
JORGE RAMOS: (Speaking Spanish).
MARTÍNEZ: He told viewers that the decision to leave after 40 years was difficult, sad and took real time to make. NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik has interviewed Ramos several times over the years, joins us now. David, so what do we know about this decision?
DAVID FOLKENFLIK, BYLINE: Well, the network and Ramos said they mutually agreed not to renew his contract, so he's departing after 38 years as anchor and 40 years at the network.
MARTÍNEZ: So tell us about his career at Univision. What drove him?
FOLKENFLIK: Ramos left Mexico, his native land, as a young reporter. And he had the sense there that, basically, journalism was intimidated, that authorities had cowed independent reporting. He didn't want that. He came here to do what he felt was real reporting and, even after becoming an anchor in short measure, maintained a sense of curiosity about reporting, about new platforms. I talked to him about that, as well. He reported on America for his Spanish-speaking audience, but also explained Latino life to English-speaking Americans on ABC News and other places - increasingly propelled, I think it's fair to say, by a sense of injustice over immigration and other key matters for Latinos in ways that really drove his reporting, at times drew criticism of the question of whether he was acting as an advocate, as opposed to purely a journalist.
MARTÍNEZ: Right. And those issues, particularly immigration - those arose during Ramos' clashes with Donald Trump during his first run for the White House. What happened there?
FOLKENFLIK: Well, so Ramos really emerged as a figure reporting on Trump's rhetoric, Trump's proposals - you know, the question of the wall, the question of the way in which he characterized immigrants to this country. Trump had said, early in his campaign in 2015, after he announced - he had called undocumented immigrants to this country who came without legal status - he said that they were criminals. He said they were rapists. He said additional things. Ramos thought that should not pass without challenge. So, for example, there was a point in August of 2015 where he sought to ask questions at a press conference, and Trump really wasn't having it. We have a clip here to give you a feel for what that was like.
(SOUNDBITE OF PRESS CONFERENCE)
DONALD TRUMP: Sit down. Sit down. Go ahead.
RAMOS: I have the right to ask a question.
TRUMP: No, you don't. You haven't been called.
RAMOS: I have the right to ask a question.
TRUMP: Go back to Univision.
FOLKENFLIK: Go back to Univision. Trump there is saying, in a sense, what many immigrants felt they've been told in this country at times - you know, go back to where you came from. Trump actually had Ramos thrown out of the press conference. He ultimately came back, and they had contentious exchange, as well. Ramos, since then, has maintained that sense of injustice in reporting, but there are new owners at Univision who are far friendlier to Trump in those questions. Last year, a Trump interviewer at Univision failed to press him on clearly false claims about immigration policy like the border wall, and another anchor left the network shortly after in dismay.
MARTÍNEZ: Yeah, I got to admit, what made that clip stand out - and, actually, when it happened - is that someone with an accent was just challenging Donald Trump. That, I think, is going to stick with a lot of people. So what's ahead for Jorge Ramos?
FOLKENFLIK: He says it's not goodbye. He's staying on the network till December, but says he will later reveal his future professional plans.
MARTÍNEZ: All right. That's NPR's David Folkenflik. David, thanks.
FOLKENFLIK: You bet.

Trump isn't above the law, Justice Department tells a judge
The Justice Department urged a judge Thursday to reject Donald Trump's bid to dismiss the federal election interference case against him, arguing for the bedrock principle that "no one is above the law."
"He is subject to the federal criminal laws like more than 330 million other Americans, including Members of Congress, federal judges, and everyday citizens," wrote assistant special counsel James Pearce.
Earlier this month, Trump's legal team moved to dismiss four felony charges against him in Washington, D.C., on the ground that he should enjoy presidential "immunity." The Supreme Court has not ruled on such a claim of absolute immunity from a current or former president.
Trump's legal team has suggested that they may seek review of the issue before the nation's highest court, which could also help him win a delay of the trial scheduled for March 4, 2024.
But in their new filing, prosecutors wrote that the legal issue is not a close or complicated one. Rather, they said, Trump mischaracterized the allegations against him and vastly overstated the historical and constitutional support for his claims.
Under Justice Department interpretations, sitting presidents enjoy only temporary immunity from prosecution that ends after they depart the White House, the special counsel team said. To extend such protections to a former president would "effectively preclude any form of accountability for a president who commits crimes at the end of his term of office."
If the court accepts Trump's sweeping arguments, the Justice Department said, it would shield presidents who take bribes in exchange for lucrative federal contracts for their family members; presidents who instruct the FBI to plant evidence on political adversaries; and presidents who sell nuclear secrets to foreign rivals. The logic is particularly troubling in a president's second term, the special counsel team wrote, when a president no longer needs to face voters in another election, removing yet another check on his behavior.
"Immunity from criminal prosecution would be particularly inappropriate where, as here, the former president is alleged to have engaged in criminal conduct aimed at overturning the results of a presidential election in order to remain in office," assistant special counsel Pearce wrote in the filing late Thursday.
The indictment handed up by a federal grand jury placed Trump at the center of a conspiracy to overturn the election results and exploit an atmosphere that led to the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, injuring more than 140 law enforcement officers. Trump stands accused of conspiring against the government he once led and of violating the civil rights of millions of American voters. He has pleaded not guilty.
"Breaking 234 years of precedent, the incumbent administration has charged President Trump for acts that lie not just within the 'outer perimeter,' but at the heart of his official responsibilities as President," wrote Trump attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche in their Oct. 5 motion to dismiss the election interference case. "In doing so, the prosecution does not, and cannot, argue that President Trump's efforts to ensure election integrity, and to advocate for the same, were outside the scope of his duties."
In his bid to dismiss the case, Trump's lawyers argued that no other American president had faced federal criminal prosecution, putting history and tradition on the side of presidential immunity. But prosecutors said it may be that Trump's unprecedented legal problems could simply reflect his unprecedented behavior. In all, he faces criminal charges in four separate jurisdictions: Florida; Fulton County, Georgia; New York; and Washington, D.C.
Lawyers working for special counsel Jack Smith cited the words of prominent conservative legal thinkers and Republican lawmakers during Trump's impeachment, including Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who said only weeks after the Capitol siege: "We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation, and former presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one."

Fixing A Problem I Am About To Face
Temple usually applies all of his head scab fungicide using a ground rig whenever possible in order to maximize coverage across the entire field. Unfortunately, recent rains are making that impossible this season so he plans to hit is from the air instead. He talks about how he plans to compensate for the lower rates and coverage issues of an aerial application by mixing up a few products to go along with the fungicide application.

A bumper fleet sets off across the Atlantic from Gran Canaria on ARC 2016 with one of the most diverse fleets of yachts seen in the rally's 31-year history
A massed fleet of 212 yachts from 31 different nations set off on the ARC 2016 transatlantic rally today in ideal north-easterly winds of 10-12 knots.
The fleet this year is one of the most diverse collections of yachts you will ever see in any single event, and one of the most eclectic in the ARC’s 31-year history. Where else could you see the likes of the maxi Rambler 88, stocked with some of the world’s best racers, blast off from the same start line as a home built wooden ketch or a couple on a 32-footer?
The rally takes cruising and racing crews 2,700 miles to Saint Lucia. This year saw a record number of crews taking part, with a total of 284 including the parallel event the ARC+ rally which is also underway after stopping in the Cape Verde Islands.
Some 1,307 sailors are taking part in the ARC. And while the ARC is first and foremost a cruising rally, there is a start and finish line, and the boats are split into divisions according to size, type and competition. There is also a dedicated IRC racing division, with 30 yachts entered.
They include two Volvo 70s and George David’s Rambler 88 with an all-star crew aboard including Brad Butterworth, Brad Jackson, Erle Williams, Simon Daubney and Jan Dekker, with Andrew Cape as navigator – 18 people in all total ready to drive this boat to the absolute maximum in pursuit of line honours and the rally record of 8d 7h.
But 70 per cent of the ARC fleet is cruising across, and hoping to enjoy some comforts at sea. They include racer-turned-cruiser Knut Frostad, former CEO of the Volvo Ocean Race, in his Outremer 5X Nemo.
Catamarans making up an increasing number of boats in the rally. There are 29 multihulls taking part, the largest of which is the high-speed Nigel Irens design, all carbon APC78 Allegra, with crew including speed record holders Paul Larsen and Helena Darvelid.
While the fastest in the fleet may cross in 8-10 days, the majority of crews will take 18-21 days to make the 2700-mile Atlantic crossing, arriving in mid-December. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I’m Dan, and Yellow Wood Coaching is my Integrated Financial Coaching (IFC) practice. Below you can learn about the six core principles of IFC and the seven stages of the IFC process. To learn more about me and the Yellow Wood Coaching story feel free to click the About YWC button below.
Six IFC Core Principles
Money and Value are Distinct
Money is important for several reasons, but it is a tool for getting value - not the actual value itself. Throughout the IFC process this distinction is explored more thoroughly for goal-setting, preparation, and planning.
Always Start With Why
The “why” is the foundation for a strong goal, plan, and the actions to bring about the outcomes you seek. This is one of the very first focuses of the IFC process.
Coaching is a Partnership
The coaching relationship is a partnership, through which we'll focus together on achieving your financial wellness goals. Your coach is in your corner supporting you all the way!
The Seven Stages of IFC
Integrated Financial Coaching is the name for my unique approach to partnering with people looking to improve their financial wellness. The term “integrated” refers to the whole person and whole life approach to determining the most meaningful life outcomes you want and the financial approach to achieving them. Keep reading for a brief introduction of each of the seven stages of the IFC process. And when you’re ready to know more you can use the button to request a free intro session for us to talk one-on-one.
New Client Onboarding
Important aspects of starting off right are covered including (but not limited to) how our coaching sessions will work, meeting times and methods, expectations, and space to get to know each other, etc.
Personal Assessment and Goal Identification
The coach and client will identify some key elements of the current situation to form the foundation for growth, and discuss the client’s intended focus areas. Personal values and the “whys” behind goals are discussed and identified before identifying initial goals.
Meaningful Goal Exploration
Identified goals are used to explore meaningfulness and establish the difference between targets and goals. Adjustments and refinements are made as appropriate throughout. The motivation effect is introduced and discussed.
Integrated Financial Planning
Two new concepts are introduced and discussed: the Personal Value System (PVS) and the Integrated Financial Plan (IFP). Special attention is given during this stage to the distinction between money and value and the interconnectedness of value in life.
Mindsets and Behaviors Exploration
The meaning, motivation, purpose model is introduced. Limiting beliefs and emotional barriers are explored as the client’s relationship with money is an area of focus. The importance of focusing on progress and not expecting perfection is strongly emphasized during this stage as well.
Implementation and Tracking
The IFP is implemented during this stage following the action steps identification and planning. Skills identification to determine further learning areas for continued growth are explored as well. Special focus is given to what can get in the way and the support network as both are key parts of this stage also.
Adaptation and Future Planning
Discuss the approach for continuous reflection and progress tracking, as well as celebrating successes. The Adaptive Financial Approach (AFA) is created as a plan to navigate changing focuses, circumstances, and priorities for ongoing success. Tips and techniques for maintaining agility are explored. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Russian President Vladimir Putin considered that the United States sees itself as a “messenger of God on Earth.”
During his speech at the plenary meeting of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday, Putin said that “after claiming victory in the Cold War, the United States declared it was the messenger of God on Earth, who has no obligations, but only interests – and these interests are sacrosanct.”
The Russian President pointed out that “the United States is ostensibly unaware that over the past decades new powerful centers have emerged around the globe and their voice is heard ever louder.
In the same context, Putin said the United States can steal other countries’ money at any moment if it does not like something.
The Russian leader recalled that the US had long been a major supplier of food to the world market. However, Washington’s role has dramatically changed today.

Before we begin with all the uses of the boiler, let’s define what a boiler is and how it works.
A Boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other suitable liquid is heated to generate steam or vapour.The steam/vapour is then exited and is used for various purposes like heating applications (water heating, central heating), boiler based power generation or even for cooking and other purposes which could be domestic or industrial.
It basically follows the concept of a pressure cooker but in a bigger way. The boiler concept is used across places from domestic purposes to industrial activities. The fluid is generally incorporated into a system and it works to provide steam through connecting combustion products and the water.
There are many types of boilers based on their uses. While domestic boilers are small and are used for daily household chores, the industrial boilers today play a magnanimous role in the production process.
Industrial boilers can also be environment friendly if the fuel used is natural gas or other types of non-harming fuels. They not only deliver the desired performance but also help industries to keep a check on the toxic emissions that are harming the environment in the worst possible way.
For centuries we have been using boilers in various forms to heat water or to produce steam. Household boilers and Industrial boilers though have different purposes, but the operational aspect is similar. Good Industrial Boilers are known for their energy efficiency and massive heat production that has the capability of running your production processes. From steam-powered locomotives to external combustion engines to power plants, for various purposes, industrial boilers are used.
Heat is vital for life. Without it, we cannot sustain. From cooking to styling your hair, we need heat for almost everything. Our pressure cookers can explain the basic concept of steam boilers where steam is pressurised and used for cooking. Heat energy also reduces the reliance on fossil fuels like petrol, diesel and more.
Ever thought of enhancing your production efficiency without wasting money on electric energy? Did you know Industrial Boilers are powering many industries? Did you know Industrial Boilers are of various types and have different utilities? If not, here’s everything that you must understand about Industrial Boilers.
The importance of Industrial Boilers is not unknown to manufacturing companies. They use industrial boilers for their many advantages; one of them is saving the cost of using electric energy for the entire process. Electric power becomes extremely expensive if used on a large scale, but Industrial Boilers help in keeping the extra expense in check. Boilers offer maximum efficiency and minimum menace like fewer hassles of handling and depending on electric energy. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
OEM steam boiler for paper mill
A steam boiler is a crucial piece of equipment for a paper mill, as it is responsible for generating the steam needed to power the various operations within the facility
. When it comes to choosing a steam boiler for a paper mill, many owners turn to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) options to ensure they are getting a high-quality, reliable product.One of the main reasons paper mills opt for OEM steam boilers is because they are specifically designed to meet the demands of the industry. These boilers are built to withstand the high temperatures and pressures required for efficient steam generation, ensuring they can keep up with the rigorous demands of a paper mill operation.
In addition to being designed for the paper mill industry, OEM steam boilers also come with the assurance of quality and reliability. These boilers are built to meet stringent manufacturing standards, ensuring they are durable and long-lasting. This means that paper mill owners can trust that their OEM steam boiler will provide consistent performance and reliable operation for years to come.
Another benefit of choosing an OEM steam boiler for a paper mill is the level of support and service that comes with it. OEM manufacturers have a deep understanding of their products and can provide expert support, maintenance, and repair services as needed. This ensures that paper mill owners can keep their steam boiler running smoothly and efficiently, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
Overall, choosing an OEM steam boiler for a paper mill is a smart investment that can help ensure the success and longevity of the operation. With a high-quality, reliable boiler designed specifically for the paper mill industry, owners can rest assured that they have the equipment they need to keep their operations running smoothly and efficiently.

When marketing to prospective new clients for your eyelash extension business, don’t focus solely on women and totally overlook the other half of the population. That’s right- even men are beginning to see the benefits of eyelash extensions.
Here are some reasons male clients may be interested in trying out eyelash extensions for themselves:
Male modeling. Male models need to look their best at all times and they also need their eyes to really pop and stand out in photos. Eyelash extensions are a great way to help accomplish this and make a model’s photos stand out from the competition.
Acting. Actors communicate with their eyes, and whether they’re on the stage or on a TV show subtle eyelash extensions can help make their eyes appear even more expressive.
Unhappy with natural lashes. Just like women, some men are unhappy with their sparse, short, or pale eyelashes and want to know what they’d look like with fuller and darker lashes.
To look younger. Eyelash extensions make the eyes appear wider and more awake, which can make the whole face appear younger and more vital. This can be just as appealing to men who are concerned about aging as it is to women.
Just to have a cool new look. Eyelash extensions can complement other experimental male looks, like the use of “guyliner” which can be very fashionable.
No matter what their reasons, reassure your male clients that eyelash extensions can look amazing on anyone. Be sure to answer their questions and listen to their preferences when it comes to the eyelash look they’re hoping to achieve.
In general, male clients tend to prefer a more natural look that doesn’t look like mascara. To get a more masculine look, opt for straight lashes, and stay away from ultra-thick or super long sets. You may also want to offer dark brown | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Finding a Lawn Care service near me can be harder than you would think.
As your grass is growing super tall and you need to find a reliable landscape maintenance contractor near me you would think it would be an easy process and you could call one or two local yard maintenance services dress right?
The reality is it’s not that simple. So many lawn care services are booked up especially during the grass growing season from March through November and it’s hard for nearby yard mowing businesses to return your phone call.
So if you’re looking for a lawn maintenance company near me in your area you might get on the Yellow Pages or Google or even Craigslist for grass cutting and leave a bunch of voicemails with local yard mowers and wait for them to look at your yard and grass out give you a price for the grass cutting.
Then, how do you know it’s a good lawn mowing price or not, and how do you know the lawnmowing service nearby me will do a good job of cutting your lawn who just you hired for your local lawn care.
The real story is you really don’t know. And that’s why we have built GreenPal, the easiest way to find a reliable grass cutting service near me without having to spend hours of time calling around to yard maintenance businesses nearby and then checking their lock lawn care reviews references from other grass cutting customers.

Well think about it if the landscape maintenance service you’re hiring is not nearby then they have to drive 15 minutes to your yard every time to cut your grass. That means the local yard mower spends less time mowing your yard and more time driving.
You may not realize that if a yard maintenance service nearby me is not within 15 minutes or less then you’re probably paying them for that time they are spending driving. In the lawnmowing business this is called windshield time, and you probably don’t realize it, but you’re being charged by your landscaping maintenance service for it.

I learned how to make these delicious stuffed olives during my first wine buying trip to the Marche region. We stayed at a hip boutique hotel, Palazzo dei Mercanti, located in the center of Ascoli Piceno. After we checked-in, we darted out to doors to explore this Renaissance town and have some lunch. After winding through several narrow streets, we popped out into a large, open square, Piazza del Popolo. It was filled with shops, eateries, and lots of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. My husband spotted a beautiful cafe at the end of the piazza with outdoor sitting. This cafe turned out to be one of 150 of the most historic cafes in Italy. It was here, at Caffe’ Meletti, where we had our first encounter with authentic Olive all’ Ascolana, Olives of Ascoli. Our kind server explained to me in detail how to make these exquisite, savory olives.
This recipe is my (easier) version.
Enjoy them with a glass of bubbles, I recommend Centanni Passerina Spumante, made with Passerina grapes grown not far from Ascoli Piceno.
See ingredients, directions and pairings.
40 Large Italian Green Olives, pitted, I use Castelvetrano olives
2 Eggs, beaten
3 ounces of Prosciutto, chopped finely
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
1/4 cup Shallots, minced
3 tablespoons Carrots, minced
A Splash of White Wine
3 tablespoons EVOO
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated

Retail fuel prices in the UAE reached an all-time high this month after authorities increased prices by 50 fils per litre from April 1.
With Super 98 costing Dh3.75 per litre, Special 95 at Dh3.62 and E-Plus 91 at Dh3.55 in April 2022, this is the highest-ever price since the UAE announced deregulation of local retail fuel prices in August 2015. The prices have more than doubled since the UAE dropped subsidies and aligned local retail fuel prices with the international crude rates. The prices have substantially increased since February due to Ukraine-Russia military conflict.
Below are some of the tips shared by Thomas Edelmann, managing director of Road Safety UAE, on how motorists in the country can cut fuel costs:
•Avoid revving up on short distances (e.g. to the next red light, etc.)
•Display an anticipating, smooth and defensive driving style
•Avoid hard braking
•Drive at a constant speed and use the cruise control when possible
•Check tyres and proper tyre pressure
•Engine maintenance (air filter, thermostats, fuel injectors, ignition system, etc.)
•Especially in confined areas like garage or underground parking to avoid toxic exhaust fumes
•If you must wait and need A/C rather find a place indoors
• Drive the car type/size and engine size that suits your needs (bigger cars and stronger engines typically consume more fuel and are less easy to drive)
•Car sharing/rotation (for example on daily commutes)
•Use public transportation
•Avoid short trips when you can use alternative ways of transport
• Plan well, combine your journeys to reduce the amount of driving
•Advanced cars offer several functions to alert about maintenance needs and to increase environmental friendliness (maintenance alerts, tire pressure alerts, start/stop function at red lights, etc.)
•Hybrid cars and electric cars improve fuel economy, lower fuel costs, and reduce emissions

Ali Awan and Hey Slow will perform at The International on the next episode of Unprecedented Sessions
UPDATE: Episode VI of Unprecedented Sessions has been postponed to April 22nd, 2021, at 6 p.m. ET.
It’s very much a family affair on the next episode of Unprecedented Sessions, the music livestream collaboration between WXPN, Cherry-Veen Zine and Powercycle.
The lineup features Philly rocker Ali Awan who, when he’s not making fantastically trippy music (including a new record called Moon Mode due out this spring on Born Losers Records), works a day job at Fishtown bar The International. Several of his coworkers there perform in the band Hey Slow, the breezy alt-country combo led by songwriter Zachary Humenik. So when we planned out a shoot with Ali and Hey Slow, The International was the obvious spot for it to take place.
Episode Six of Unprecedented Sessions will debut on Facebook next Tuesday, April 20th Thursday, April 22nd, at 6 p.m. ET. With tidy, four- and five-song sets from each artist, the show will serve as an appetizer for the more expansive gig they’ll both play outdoors at Sunflower Philly on Friday, June 18th, to celebrate the release of Moon Mode. Get more information on that concert here, and RSVP to the the Unprecedented Sessions show at Facebook. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

CAN YOU CATCH HEART DISEASE FROM A CHAIR?
WE KNOW LONG PERIODS OF SITTING CAN BE DANGEROUS FOR OUR HEALTH – BUT SCIENTISTS NOW SAY IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW WE SIT.
When I was growing up in the 70s, there was an ashtray in each corner of our family living room. In those days everybody smoked; in fact, my mother was advised by her GP to smoke to relieve stress. Visitors smoked, my brothers smoked, it was unusual not to have a social event that wasn’t in a haze of cigarette smoke – so we needed strategically-placed receptacles for people to dispense of their ash.
Eventually, scientists and medical researchers convinced people that smoking is a really bad idea. As a result, I haven’t seen an ashtray in years.
So after reading a recent study on the perils of sitting, I’m now wondering if chairs and sofas will be the next to go. Quite simply, sitting is the new smoking. Even if you’re a regular at the gym, long periods of sitting on a regular basis have been shown to significantly shorten your life.
How can this be? We’ve been sitting for hundreds of thousands of years – how can something so common be so bad?
The answer: it’s the WAY we sit.
To shed light on this, let’s journey back and discover how we rested in previous eras.
Only in the past 10,000 years have humans been able to source food by farming animals and raising crops. Prior to this recent history, humans spent millions of years practicing and evolving a hunter-gatherer approach to food sourcing. From an evolutionary perspective, we’re “designed” to behave in this hunter-gatherer way – like the Hadza people of Tanzania, one of the few remaining populations who still hunt every day and gather vegetables for nourishment.
These days, the Hadza have quite an audience. They are monitored, probed, and generally scrutinized by researchers desperate to discover what distinguishes their lifestyle and its health benefits from a more modern approach. As you would expect, the Hadza have substantially lower rates of “lifestyle” diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease, than we see in modern society.
To further our understanding of the ills that come with a modern lifestyle, the Hadza’s sitting patterns were also recently put under the microscope.
One would assume that adopting a hunter-gatherer approach to life would be exhausting. They must spend way more time in active food-finding pursuits compared to us modern-day sloths – and as a result, sit less. But reality does not support this assumption. The Hadza spend plenty of time sitting and resting too. In fact, their sitting duration over the course of a day is almost identical to ours.
The key difference is that the Hadza don’t use chairs; they squat or kneel. These positions require low-grade muscle activation that, despite the low intensity, has a dramatic effect.
A number of investigations have demonstrated that prolonged sitting with little to no muscle activation (like we do daily in chairs) results in the accumulation of triglycerides (fat that circulates in the blood and is a major contributor to heart disease). Whereas interrupting these positions by getting up regularly or staying in a standing position more often can result in a 32 percent reduction in triglycerides.
In fact, the low squat position (sitting your butt on your heels) used by the Hadza generates between 5 and 10 times more muscle activation than sitting in a chair. This muscle activity gently soaks up triglycerides, resulting in less fat circulating in the blood – which lessens the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Now I don’t know about you, but I can’t squat like the Hadza. I feel like my knees are going to explode and my hamstrings cramp like nothing on earth. But as a result of reading these findings, I’ve converted my desk at home (during lockdown) to a standing option. In fact, I’ve written this whole article while standing.
The fact is, exercise is great for warding off the hazards of modern life. But if you’re inactive for long periods during the day, you’re still at high risk of contracting some nasty diseases.
With this in mind, I’m hoping the plush, high-backed office chair will soon disappear like the overflowing ashtrays. Standing desks will be everywhere, and shows on Netflix will come with reminders to do a few burpees at regular intervals.
I know I’m not alone. Check out this interview with Professor David Dunstan, a world authority on the role of sedentary behavior, who shares his fascinating views on tackling chronic diseases through exercise. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Are you currently internet dating, questioning how to juggle the trip timetable? Or have you ever met somebody fantastic, but you’re uncertain if to take the woman to your workplace trip celebration or family meeting?
The vacation season could be tense, while there is plenty going on and expectations can run just a little more than typical. Remember to not place force on your self or any budding connections – in the end, when this happened to be May versus December, are you willing to end up being pressing the girl in order to meet your family? Most likely not.
Make sure you relax, settle-back, and revel in your self. After several suggestions to make you stay on the right track.
No costly gifts. If you merely began online dating, then you might need to wait on purchasing that iPad mini to suit your really love – it doesn’t matter what smitten you are. Cannot turn to impress since it is the holiday period. Besides, your go out does not want that offer him an iPad when all he gave you had been a scarf. Just in case you simply began online dating, you may need to give consideration to having a discussion about perhaps not trading gift ideas whatsoever.
Combine circumstances up. It is a very good time of year in order to prevent your typical supper and products day. Rather, provide to take her sledding, ice skating within the performers, or walking through communities that go all-out with regards to Christmas time designs. There are many great options any time you merely check.
Cautious with family members invites. Perhaps your parents tend to be thrilled to fulfill the fresh guy you’ve been talking about, but is the vacation season the best time to introduce him? It could put unneeded pressure and expectations on your own connection. Save the introductions until you’ve been matchmaking some time, and bring him where you can find dad and mom if you are both prepared.
You should not count on an invitation in return. If you made a decision to receive the new love to all your family members events and company trip events, do not distressed if he does not get back the favor. Interactions move at their speed, and mustn’t be dictated by a holiday schedule. Cannot place plenty force on yourself or your own date.
Get situations decrease. Are you presently matchmaking more than one man this year? Have actually both requested one to holiday parties and family members meals? Perhaps you have to get one step back. Instead of attempting to juggle your obligations, let the times understand that you’re not ready for anything really serious or even meet the household. Only spending some time matchmaking each man and progress to understand all of them better, because would other time of the year. Don’t feel pressured to help make dedication because on the holiday breaks. Take the time, flake out, appreciate. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
It would be difficult to find a simpler and more poignant subject', Massenet remarked during the composition of Ariane, a vast score in five acts premiered at the Paris Opéra in October 1906. The libretto by Catulle Mendès is part ancient drama, part symbolist poem, and sets Phaedra and Ariadne, two sisters in love with Theseus, in violent conflict with each other. This epic work does not shrink from relating the combat against the Minotaur, from showing a ship tossed by the raging billows, nor even from transporting the audience to the Underworld where Persephone reigns. Despite it's flamboyant orchestration, it's grandiose scenography and it's triumphant premiere, Ariane remains one of the few Massenet operas never recorded until now. The young Egyptian soprano Amina Edris takes the title role with ardour and passion, surrounded by a cast well versed in the specificities of the French style. The Bavarian Radio Chorus provides dedicated support in the epic scenes, under the baton of Laurent Campellone, a great champion of Massenet. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Remote work has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While working from home or other remote locations offers flexibility and autonomy, it can also come with its challenges, including a lack of structure, distractions, and difficulties with collaboration. Fortunately, there are many different productivity tools that remote workers can leverage to enhance their efficiency and get more done in less time.
Task and Project Management Tools
Perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of remote work is staying organized.

Some of the most popular communication tools for remote workers include Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet. These platforms offer high-quality video and voice chat capabilities, as well as screen sharing functionality, allowing team members to collaborate on visual projects. Instant messaging services like Slack and Microsoft Teams have also become increasingly popular, offering real-time chat capabilities and organized, centralized communication.
Time Management Tools
For many remote workers, time management can be a significant hurdle. With no fixed schedule or commute, it can be challenging to separate work time from personal time. To help keep remote workers focused and on task, numerous time management tools have been designed.
Some popular time management tools for remote workers include RescueTime and Toggl. These platforms allow users to track how much time they spend on specific tasks, providing insights into how they could be better allocating their time. Other time management tools include Forest and StayFocusd, which help users eliminate distractions during work hours and maintain focus on productivity.
Cloud Storage and File Sharing Tools
Finally, one of the benefits of remote work is the ability to work from any location, as long as an internet connection is available. However, this means that remote workers need to be able to access their work files easily and securely from anywhere.
For this reason, cloud storage and file sharing tools have become essential for remote workers. Popular options include Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. These platforms offer secure file hosting in the cloud, automatic syncing between devices, and easy file sharing between team members.
Working remotely can be both satisfying and challenging. Fortunately, there are many different productivity tools that can make it easier.

The Importance of Verifying Bachelor’s Degrees
Obtaining a bachelor’s degree is a significant accomplishment and a milestone in one’s academic journey. It represents years of hard work, dedication, and the acquisition of valuable knowledge and skills. However, with the increasing availability of counterfeit degrees and diploma mills, it has become crucial to ensure the authenticity of academic credentials. This article aims to provide insights into spotting fake bachelor’s degrees and safeguarding the integrity of educational qualifications.
Researching Accredited Institutions
One of the most effective ways to identify a genuine bachelor’s degree is to research and verify the accreditation of the educational institution from which it was obtained. Accreditation ensures that a college or university meets certain educational standards and is recognized by an accrediting agency. Trusted accrediting agencies include regional agencies such as the Higher Learning Commission and national agencies like the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools.

Comparing the coursework mentioned in the transcripts with the curriculum offered by the institution can help ascertain the integrity of the degree. Discrepancies such as incomplete or inaccurate course listings may raise suspicions and warrant further investigation.
Verifying the Issuing Authority
Another key aspect of spotting fake bachelor’s degrees is to verify the authority that issued the credential. Legitimate degrees are issued by recognized educational institutions and signed by authorized individuals such as university presidents or registrars. Individuals can cross-reference the names and signatures on the degree with the official records of the institution. Moreover, contacting the issuing authority directly to verify the authenticity of the degree can provide additional assurance.
Utilizing Online Verification Systems
In the digital age, most reputable educational institutions have implemented online verification systems to enhance the transparency and credibility of their degrees. These systems allow employers, academic institutions, and other entities to verify the authenticity of a degree by accessing a secure online database. By requesting the individual to provide their unique identification number or transcript, employers can quickly validate the degree through the institution’s online verification system.
Seeking Expert Opinion and Third-Party Services
For individuals or organizations dealing with a large volume of bachelor’s degrees and lacking the expertise to identify counterfeits, seeking professional assistance from experts or third-party services can be beneficial. These services employ professionals experienced in scrutinizing academic credentials and are equipped with extensive knowledge about the latest techniques used by counterfeiters.

The conference, The Picture's Image. Scientific Visualisation as a Composite examines the role of images in the formation of knowledge. The question has become all the more urgent as with the use of computer calculations, simulation and technically complex methods of data acquisition, knowledge is produced and organized through images that cannot be acquired by the unaided naked eye. Alongside these technical aspects, however, the pictorial-cultural conditions of scientific visualisation also require historical and systematic examination, for media techniques and pictorial practices together form a kind of composite. Within the research process, this composite can be seen as a nodal point at which several elements interact. These include instruments, preparation techniques, social agreement processes, strategies of print reproduction and so on.
The panel includes Olaf Breidbach, Manfred Faßler, Hans Ulrich Reck, Gunnar Schmidt and others.
Concept and co-ordination: Markus Buschhaus, Stefan Ditzen, Inge Hinterwaldner.
The conference has received financial support from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft [DFG] and the Fritz Thyssen Foundation.

To the gaming community, the Microsoft Xbox console has a lot to offer and promises even more in the future. But the company has not been able to get worldwide sales, especially Japanese sales, to the levels it hoped for. Depending on whose report you read, the Sony PlayStation is outselling the Xbox at a 4 to 1 pace, and that's an optimistic ratio. The Xbox has become the number-two platform in the USA, ahead of the Nintendo GameCube, but it still has not been popular enough to become a profit center for Microsoft. All this has recently been compounded by Microsoft's decision to cancel or delay the release of its online game True Fantasy Live Online. What's wrong with this picture? Microsoft has over $56 billion in the bank and should be dominating the console market. Unfortunately, the company's overall strategies have failed and may continue to fail, leaving the Xbox in the dustbin with the last great American hope for a super game machine, the 3DO box from circa 1993. The 3DO machine was the first 32-bit console; there were great games for it and it had powerful underpinnings. Its $700 price tag was probably the main thing that killed it, but it also suffered from the same problem that the Microsoft Xbox has suffered from: high-expectation syndrome. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
