Chiropractic Care Needs for Your Entire Family.
I, Dr. Virak Sotonn, DC was born in Battambang, Cambodia. In the 1980's my mother, younger sister, two aunts, and I left Cambodia in order to be reunited with my father in America. We were separated during Cambodia's civil war. In the summer of 1983, we were finally reunited with each other in Minneapolis, MN. Since then, Minnesota has been my home.
In 1996, I attended Northwestern Health Sciences University, formally known as Northwestern College of Chiropractic, to pursue a doctorate degree in Chiropractic. In 2000, I graduated as a doctor of chiropratic and successfully completed residency programs both in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Thereafter, I practiced as an associate doctor for a couple of years for a couple of clinics in Minnesota, where I gained confidence in my chiropractic abilities and learned the skills necesssary to successsfully treat patients. I also noticed that I had a keen ability to not only connect with people of different cultures, but also had a way of calming nervous patients. With the support of my family and friend, in late 2005 I have finally had the courage to start up my own practice in which I'am currently practicing.
In addition to English, I speak Khmer/Cambodian fluently. I have three young children, whom I treasure; one girl and two boys. I love outdoor activities such as running, biking, hiking, and camping. My greatest accomplishment in life are my wife, children, and knowing that I make a difference in my patient lives, whom I have cared for. I am passionate about living a meaningful life with purpose and strive to be better all the time; whether it is to be a better husband, father, son, friend, or doctor. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Can you use strip lighting outside?
LED tape lighting is great for indoor applications like undercabinet lighting and other accents, but there are options available for outdoor LED lighting as well to help customize your exterior living spaces.
Are LED lights waterproof?
When considering which exterior LED lights are appropriate for a given application, it is important to consider what elements the product will be exposed to. Terms like water resistant and waterproof can provide some guidance as to how a product can be used, but many times it is important to consider the ingress protection, or IP rating of the product. The IP rating is an international standard that gives a rating of how well a product is protected against both water and dust. Although there is a lot of science and testing built into the ratings, there are a handful of ratings that are common in the marketplace.
Learn more in our What is an IP Rating? blog post.
Armacost Lighting Waterproof LED Tape Light
If your project includes adding strip lighting to a covered patio or porch, an IP54 rated product like the Armacost Lighting Indoor/Outdoor LED Tape Light Kit would be a good choice. If greater protection to water is needed, we recommend our IP67 rated RibbonFlex Pro Outdoor LED Strip Lights for Wet Locations or our 120V Outdoor LED Strip Light.
How do you power an outdoor LED strip?
Low voltage outdoor LED strip lights must be connected to a wet rated LED driver for power. Our Indoor/Outdoor Standard Power Supplies are rated IP66 and are available in 12V and 24V models. 120V High Voltage LED Strips can be plugged directly into a standard outlet without an LED power supply.

WOMENS ADDICTION REHAB CENTER
Are you a woman who is fighting a drug or alcohol problem? If so, you might be wondering where you can turn to for reliable help. Luckily, there is professional addiction treatment in Scottsdale, AZ that can help you find your way to sober living. Start looking for a women’s addiction rehab center that offers the recovery programs and services you need to achieve real results.
ADDICTION IS MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK
You might feel isolated because of your addiction, but you are not alone. Currently, there are millions of women in the United States who need help for a drug or alcohol problem. Sadly, the majority of these women will choose not to seek professional treatment. Many will suffer through years of continued abuse before taking steps to change their life.
Rather than struggle with addiction on your own, find a women’s addiction rehab center that offers quality treatment. There is no reason to feel ashamed, embarrassed or guilty for needing help. Addiction is a very serious disease that causes chronic and overwhelming urges to seek and abuse psychoactive substances. Most people who try to get clean on their own eventually relapse and find themselves back where they started.
You can take steps to avoid repeated relapse by enrolling at the best women’s addiction rehab center Scottsdale, AZ has to offer. A combination of counseling, detox, and other therapies can help you build a strong foundation for lasting sobriety. Depending on your schedule, choose between a Scottsdale AZ intensive outpatient program or an inpatient program.
PERSONALIZED TREATMENT IS KEY
While searching for the finest women’s addiction rehab center in Scottsdale, AZ, keep in mind that you have specific recovery needs. You don’t need treatment that is identical to someone else’s. Rather, find a women’s addiction rehab center that can customize a rehabilitation plan just for you.
Part of your individualized treatment could include extensive therapy with a licensed psychologist. Counseling is particularly important to the recovery process, whether or not you’ve been through past trauma. Therapy can help you change your mindset and work on areas of your life that are lacking. Take the time to relearn basic life skills and coping tools that can help you maintain lifelong sobriety.
If you’ve also been dealing with mental illness, seek a women’s addiction rehab center that offers dual diagnosis therapy. You must address the symptoms of your emotional disorder if you expect to overcome addiction. If one condition goes untreated, it could intensify symptoms of the other. Dual diagnosis therapy can address both conditions and help you learn to manage both in the future.
Wherever your search for the best women’s addiction rehab center Scottsdale, AZ takes you, remember that you are unique. You need treatment that can acknowledge and target your specific imbalances. Otherwise, you might not achieve the results that you desire.

The Inspector-General’s Intelligence Response Team (IRT) led by ACP Abba Kyari on Saturday, June 10, 2017 said it has arrested Evans, a notorious and one of Nigeria’s most wanted kidnappers in Lagos state.
Kyari, who confirmed the arrest said that the suspect was arrested at his Magodo residence in Lagos.
“IRT headquarters in Abuja is celebrating the arrest of the most wanted brilliant and notorious high profile kidnapper in Nigeria.
“He has collected several billions of Naira as ransom in the last seven years as the kingpin of kidnappers.
“He was arrested at about 1.00p.m on Saturday in his residence in Magodo Estate, Lagos,” Kyari said.
He commended the Force Headquarters for mobilising the resources to go all out against the “richest and most notorious kidnapper” in the history of Nigeria.
Kyari said the Inspector-General had directed that the suspect should be paraded before newsmen on Sunday in Lagos.
Evans, a native of Anambra State, was said to have made billions over the seven years he operated his kidnapping ring.
The recovered arms included four AK-47 riffles; two automatic pistols; four magazines loaded with 60 rounds of ammunitions each; 1,272 ammunition, 59 AK-47 ammunition; a police bullet-proof vest; a Toyota Hiace bus, suspected to be the gang’s operational vehicle, and a motorcycle.
Evans and his gang, most of whom are now in police custody, had kidnapped very many wealthy business men in Lagos, Abuja, Edo, Delta among several locations. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

On its own, Xanax can be used to safely treat certain medical conditions. If you suffer from panic attacks or anxiety, then a physician can prescribe you Xanax to reduce symptoms. However, there’s never a good reason to mix Xanax with other substances, especially alcohol. Xanax and alcohol are a dangerous cocktail with some seriously problematic effects.
Xanax and Alcohol: Tough on the Liver
One of the biggest jobs of the liver is to detoxify the body. Certain substances, like prescription drugs or alcohol, take a particular toll on the liver.
When you consume both Xanax and alcohol, you’re asking the liver to take on a serious task. Since the liver is only capable of so much at a time, it means that both substances stay in the body for longer. This intensifies the side effects and symptoms of both. Worse still, it can become so taxing that it causes liver damage or even complete liver failure.
The Lethal Cocktail Increases the Chance of Overdose
Taking Xanax in large doses means that you’re accepting the risk of an overdose. A Xanax overdose is incredibly dangerous, and it can lead to lifelong health problems. Some of the most common signs of a Xanax overdose include extreme drowsiness, a coma, difficulty breathing, and muscle weakness.
Although it’s possible to overdose while taking only Xanax, the risk increases if you consume both alcohol and Xanax at the same time. Xanax side effects are intensified thanks to an alcohol addiction. Plus, consuming alcohol can make individuals forget that they took Xanax earlier. Sadly, many people who are on prescription Xanax can still overdose due to alcohol-related dosage errors.
Addiction Risk Rises With Xanax and Alcohol Use
Taking Xanax for any extended period of time can lead to an addiction. This happens because the body and the brain become dependent on the drug. Taking it away can lead to withdrawal symptoms, worsening the cycle of dependence. Adding alcohol to the equation only makes the situation worse.
Xanax mixed with alcohol is truly a dangerous cocktail. Alcohol exacerbates all the symptoms of Xanax consumption, and it accelerates the development of an addiction. It also speeds up the rate of tolerance. This means that users will crave increasingly large doses of both alcohol and Xanax.
Overcoming Addiction Safely
To overcome a dependence on Xanax or on both alcohol and Xanax, there’s only one safe and effective solution. Medically supervised addiction treatment is the best way to ensure that all patients work through withdrawal safely. Plus, it allows for individuals to understand why they’re addicted and how to prevent relapse from taking hold.
Through addiction treatment, patients can begin living healthier and happier lives. Some of the tools and resources available during treatment are:
- Medical care that includes on-site alcohol and drug detox
- Holistic care
- Clinical care that includes individual and group therapy
- Treatment for co-occurring disorders
- Exercise, music and art therapy
Xanax and alcohol is a dangerous cocktail, and sobriety is the only solution. At Ashley Addiction Treatment in Havre de Grace, Maryland, you can break free from addiction once and for all. Contact us at 866-313-6307 to choose the right program for your recovery. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Deletion of the Homeobox Gene Cux1 Decreases Ciliogenesis in a Mouse Model of Polycystic Kidney Disease
- Cystic Kidney Diseases: Mechanisms and Models
October 25, 2024 | Location: Exhibit Hall, Convention Center
Abstract Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Category: Genetic Diseases of the Kidneys
- 1201 Genetic Diseases of the Kidneys: Cystic
- Vanden Heuvel, Greg, Western Michigan University Homer Stryker MD School of Medicine, Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States
- Wee, Zhi Nee, Western Michigan University Homer Stryker MD School of Medicine, Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States
- Bailey, Kristi L., Western Michigan University Homer Stryker MD School of Medicine, Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common inherited disorders affecting the kidney. Renal cyst development in ADPKD results from mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 genes, which encode the proteins polycstin1 (PC1) and polycystin2 (PC2). PC1 and PC2 proteins are localized to primary cilia where they are proposed to form a receptor channel complex that detects flow transmitting a calcium-mediated signal. Primary cilia are critical to the pathogenesis of ADPKD, which is one of many ciliopathies that exhibit renal cystic disease. Cux1 is a cell cycle dependent transcriptional repressor that regulates the cyclin kinase inhibitor p27. Cux1 is highly and ectopically expressed in mice carrying a collecting duct (CD) specific mutation of Pkd1 (Pkd1 knockout) and in human ADPKD cells. Mice carrying mutations in both Cux1 and Pkd1 have reduced cystic disease and an increased life span.
To begin to determine whether Cux1 regulates ciliogenesis we evaluated cilia morphology and the expression of the ciliary proteins OFD1, Ptch1, and Ift122 in kidneys isolated from Pkd1 knockout and Pkd1/Cux1 double knock out mice. Cilia morphology was assessed by immunofluorescence labeling of alpha- tubulin, a major component of cilia, and the collecting duct marker dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) to identify cells in which Pkd1 was deleted.
Cilia in Pkd1/Cux1 double knockout kidneys were significantly shorter than cilia in the Pkd1 knockout kidneys alone, consistent with previous studies showing that decreased cilia length corresponds to decreased cystic disease. In addition, expression of OFD1, an inhibitor of cilia formation was significantly increased in Pkd1/Cux1 double knockout kidneys compared to Pkd1 knockout kidneys alone.
Taken together, our results suggest a novel role for Cux1 in regulating ciliogenesis in polycystic kidney disease. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Western Sydney University researchers are developing world-first “event-based camera” applications with Defence.
Event-based cameras (as known as neuromorphic cameras) only capture information when there are changes in light, and offer advantages in speed, energy use and data efficiency.
WSU was awarded a grant through the US Office of Naval Research Global-X Challenge in September to adapt its camera research for use underwater, to “demonstrate neuromorphic event-based sensors that can quickly detect submerged vehicles and objects—and enable celestial navigation without breaking the water surface.”
Lead researcher Dr Moritz Milde of WSU’s International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) said the sensors worked differently to regular cameras, and more like the brain and the eye.
“Movement would normally blur conventional camera images, making them unclear, and restricting use to controlled environments. However, with our event-based cameras, waves and movement in the water enhances the imagery and helps the sensors to generate clearer images of changes in the environment,” he said.
“Our sensors can be used underwater to detect, track and monitor dynamic phenomena such as air bubbles and bioluminescence generated by submersible vehicles. The technology can also be used for environmental monitoring, distributed early warning systems, high speed object detection, marine pollution detection, and celestial navigation.”
The university has event-based sensing in use at its Astrosite observatory, and has a planned deployment of such cameras to the International Space Station in November next year.
“As a key member of the NSW Defence Innovation Network, Western Sydney University has been able to develop relations with the United States Military, leading to increased exposure and cooperation with our closest ally,” said defence industry minister Melissa Price in a statement.
The nine-month project is led by Milde and Associate Professor Greg Cohen, who is also from ICNS, with collaborating researchers from the University of Queensland, University of Zurich, ETH Zurich, and The University of Illinois.

London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) has become a key issue in the run up to the general election on 4 July.
One of many clean air zones in operation around the UK in a bid to reduce roadside emissions, it requires drivers of some older cars to pay a fee to drive through the city.
It was expanded to encompass all of Greater London on 29 August 2023 – a move that proved especially controversial on the capital's outskirts.
The Labour Party blamed its loss in Uxbridge's July 2023 by-election on the expansion, prompting the rival Conservative Party to adopt several pro-motorist policies, including shrinking the ULEZ back to its original size.
That agenda has only been magnified by the increasing pace of campaigning, with the election just weeks away.
Here's everything you need to know about the ULEZ:
When was the ULEZ introduced?
Initially proposed by former London Mayor Boris Johnson in 2015, the ULEZ is a continuation of the T-Charge introduced by Sadiq Khan in 2017, which charged motorists £10 to drive vehicles that did not meet the Euro 4 emissions standard into the central London congestion charge zone.
ULEZ replaced the T-Charge in April 2019. It upped the fee to £12.50 and operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, apart from Christmas Day.
In October 2022, the London ULEZ drew over £90 million in eight months, with an average of 1.9 million journeys made into the zone each month.
Plans to introduce an even more restrictive zero-emission zone, meanwhile, in central London were shelved following the most recent expansion of the ULEZ.
Where does the London ULEZ operate?
On 25 October 2021, the ULEZ grew to encompass the area within the borders of the North Circular and South Circular arterial roads.
The ULEZ was further expanded in 2023, now encompassing each London borough - the entire area inside the M25 - as well as Heathrow Airport.
This means drivers of some older cars need to pay a fee to drive through the city, and visit various other important locations.
How does the ULEZ work?
London's ULEZ currently uses a series of cameras at junctions and along major roads into London. These automatically read registration plates and reference them against a database to identify whether vehicles are, or are not, compliant with the required emission standards.
You can check to see whether a postcode is inside the ULEZ on the Transport for London (TfL) website. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
David Gordon Green initiates Virginia Gardner into frat-house drama Goat
David Gordon Green is producing a movie about fraternity hazing, which, given Green’s eclectic resume, could mean anything from raucous R-rated comedy to sobering, understated indie drama. This particular project, called Goat, will almost certainly lean towards the latter, however, since it’s based on a memoir with the word “harrowing” right there on the cover. So hopefully Project Almanac star Virginia Gardner—also recently seen on ABC’s The Goldbergs—has the dramatic chops to back it up.
Gardner has been cast as the female lead in the film, which follows a 19-year old college student traumatized by a brutal assault who pledges a fraternity alongside his real-life brother. “What happens there,” Variety ominously teases, “in the name of ‘brotherhood,’ tests the boy and his loyalty to his brother in brutal ways.” So, just another day at the frat house. Gardner, one can only assume, will not be playing one of the invariably polo shirt-clad, Natty Light-swilling bros, but her co-stars, The Book Thief and Pride’s Ben Schnetzer and former boy-band heartthrob Nick Jonas, probably will. Andrew Neel, whose most recent feature was the selfie-based 2012 drama King Kelly, is set to direct. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

For this SPOOKY HALLOWEEN edition of Anime World Order, we’re um…not even attempting to review anything scary whatsoever, as Gerald weighs in on one of the most popular and beloved anime titles of the decade, the 2016 anime film Your Name by Makoto Shinkai.
Introduction (0:00 – 25:24)
It’s been pointed out to us that a lot of the old THE TRUTH image links are currently broken. Worry not, all of the images are still there. We just need to fix the links…someday. As far as emails go, what are our thoughts on all this “yuribait” in anime, anyway? This predictably goes off-topic FAST.
Promo: Right Stuf Anime (25:24 – 27:01)
With Your Name about to come out in a week, now’s a fine to point out that Right Stuf offers 25% off all preorders. In the case of Your Name, that means with a Got Anime? membership, the price of the regular edition works out to $25.54 for the standard Blu-Ray/DVD combo and $55.84 for the limited edition that includes the soundtrack and hardcover artbook. Those are way better prices than Amazon, especially if you live in states where Amazon charges tax like we do!
Review: Your Name (27:01 – 1:04:45)
Gerald offers a mostly spoiler-free review of Makoto Shinkai’s new movie, and in the process touches upon his filmography to date since it turns out that we’ve not really talked about the guy’s work since 5 cm Per Second back in 2010. But what is there to say about one of the most commercially successful, most critically acclaimed, and most fan beloved anime titles of the decade that hasn’t been said already? Is there even anything to add to the conversation? Wait, is this going to be one of those deals yet again where Gerald hates the cartoon?! THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY FOR YOU TO FIND OUT THE ANSWER. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Forget popping pills – just ditch your flat shoes and change your pillow
Back pain is one of the most common physical ailments that people experience at some point in their lives. Whether it’s stiffness, constant niggles or something more serious, for many people there is not one particular treatment that will work but a combination of small changes to their lifestyle that can help eliminate pain.
Here at Axis Chiropractic we want to share seven tips on how to get rid of back pain.
EXPERIMENT WITH NEW POSITIONS IN BED
If neck pain is a real problem, make sure that the pillow is only supporting your head, which means keep your shoulders and neck off the pillow. If your shoulder and neck are on the pillow the joints on that side will get squashed and will stretch the joints on the opposite side, causing the neck to stiffen up. You may have to try different types of pillows till you get it right, there is no one type of pillow that works for everyone.
Another way to take the pressure off your back is to lie on your side with a pillow in-between your knees to keep your pelvis level. A firmer bed rather than a softer bed will prevent stiffening up during the night. A bed that is too soft will mold the mattress round your body like a jelly mold, which means that your spine is not getting the support it needs.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION
Poor posture can cause muscular imbalance which puts pressure on certain areas of the spine which will lead to pain/wear and tear in time.
One great way to correct your posture is to imagine there is a helium balloon attached to the top of your head stretching you up tall to elongate the spine. This is not about walking around with a book on your head like a 1950s debutante. The idea is to keep the chest open so don’t allow your shoulders to round forwards, keep a neutral alignment of the lumbar spine/not too arched and not too flat. Our bodies are designed to have mild natural curves in the spine to create balance and shock absorption as we move.
The problem starts when these curves increase or decrease which creates imbalance and pain, what we should have is a mild inward curve at the neck, an outward curve over the middle of the spine and inward curve at the bottom.
ACTIVATE YOUR CORE
Incorrect lifting and bending techniques can put harmful strain on the spine (particularly the intervertebral discs). Make sure you bend your hips and knees rather than your spine. If lifting, activate your core, don’t twist and carry the load close to your body.
Pilates classes can help with your core and remedial Pilates lessons with a qualified instructor can really help with back pain.
MIX UP A GYM WORKOUT WITH PILATES TO STRENGTHEN YOUR BACK
A strong back can reduce your risk of back pain. A lot of people will either do gym work or Pilates but this will not ‘fully’ strengthening the spine, you need to do both to help alleviate pain.
Simply speaking, we have two sets of muscles in the body. Those that produce movement (global system) and those that provide support/stability (stabilising system). Both sets of muscles need to be strong in order to prevent back pain. Therefore, doing a combination of Pilates and general gym exercises to strengthen muscles such as your gluteal, abdominal and back muscles e.g. squats and lunges is advisable.
DITCH THE FLAT SHOES
We’re always told that high heels will play havoc on your back and knees but wearing flats can also lead to back pain, especially if you a have a foot that is over-pronated (flat).
If you wear very flat shoes such as ballet pumps, or flip flops, with no arch, your foot will roll inwards every time you walk which can transfer abnormal forces up to the knee, hip and lower back causing pain. Wearing a supportive shoe will keep your body in a good alignment which can help with back pain.
GET A STANDING (AND SITTING) DESK
Sitting can increase the pressure on the discs in the lumbar spine, particularly if you are sitting in a slumped position. Try a standing desk to off-load your discs.
Best advice – vary between the two as standing for prolonged periods can also put pressure on the facet joints in the spine.
DON’T STOP MOVING
Try not to sit or stand for prolonged periods of time. As a general rule, you should aim to get up every 20-30 minutes, change position and move around. Stretching or just walking around your work space can make all the difference, taking the pressure off your spine. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

But before she can blow its white fluff away, her brother tells her she has to make a wish. If only she can think of just the right wish to make . . .
With lyrical, stirring text and stunning, evocative artwork, Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson have crafted a moving ode to family, to dreamers, and to finding hope in the most unexpected places.

Renal Denervation Therapy is emerging as a revolutionary treatment for heart patients struggling with high blood pressure. This innovative therapy has recently been introduced in Bikaner, offering a promising solution for those suffering from resistant hypertension.
What is Renal Denervation Therapy?
Renal Denervation Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that targets the nerves around the arteries leading to the kidneys. These nerves play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure. By destroying these nerves using radiofrequency energy, the therapy helps stabilize blood pressure, making it more manageable for patients. This therapy is particularly beneficial for patients with blood pressure levels as high as 300 mm Hg.
How Does the Procedure Work?
The therapy is performed through a small incision, where a catheter is inserted into the patient’s body, reaching the renal arteries. Through this catheter, radiofrequency energy is applied to ablate the surrounding nerves. This minimally invasive approach ensures a quick recovery and reduces the need for blood pressure medications over time. In some cases, patients may be able to stop taking these medications altogether.
Benefits of Renal Denervation Therapy
- Reduced Dependence on Medications: Post-therapy, some patients may no longer require blood pressure medications, or the dosage may be significantly reduced.
- Stabilized Blood Pressure: The therapy effectively stabilizes blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke and heart attack.
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: The therapy is performed through a small incision, minimizing recovery time and complications.
Who is it Suitable For?
This therapy is particularly effective for patients whose blood pressure remains uncontrolled despite conventional treatments, a condition known as Resistant Hypertension. For such patients, Renal Denervation Therapy offers a successful and long-term solution.
Introduction of the Technology in Bikaner
Bikaner has recently seen the successful implementation of this cutting-edge technology. Local doctors have treated patients with blood pressure levels up to 300 mm Hg, demonstrating the therapy’s effectiveness and establishing it as a new hope for heart patients in the region.
Renal Denervation Therapy is a groundbreaking step in the treatment of high blood pressure. It is poised to become increasingly popular in the coming years because of it’s high success rate and significant benefits. The availability of this therapy in Bikaner provides heart patients with a new, effective treatment option. It not only helps control blood pressure but also mitigates associated risks, making it a crucial advancement in cardiac care.
To get more information, you can watch the video on this therapy that further explains the procedure and its benefits. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mixology ideas with Barbury Hill
Here at Barbury Hill we’ve taken to making our own cocktails and we’ll admit to acquiring quite a taste for a freshly shaken Mojito or an elegant Old Fashioned. While nothing beats a skilfully shaken Martini in an elegant bar, there’s something to be said for crafting your own evening tipple, carefully selecting the spirits and getting creative with the garnish. Barbury Hill’s growing range of exciting British-made spirits have added more than a dash of interest to our repertoire and we thought we’d share some of our favourites with you.
Just a few drops of Bitter Union’s imaginative aromatic bitters transform our cocktail hour drink into an altogether more tantalising treat, whether we’re adding them to a green tea or a G&T. When we feel like making more of an effort, we’ve been known to whip up a Lemon, Hops and Herbs Gin Sour, an invigorating cocktail with a zingy, refreshing edge that perfectly showcases the zest of their Lemon, Hops and Herbs bitter. A G&T is lifted with a few splashes of Spiced Orange bitters, taking it from the everyday to the exotic with just a flick of the wrist.
Lemon, Hops & Herbs Gin Sour
- 50ml gin (we’d recommend River Test)
- Half an egg white
- 25ml sugar syrup
- 25ml lemon juice
- 4-5 dashes of Lemon, Hop and Herb Bitters
We’ve found the meadowsweet botanicals in River Test’s award-winning gins to be the perfect base for a French 75, where champagne, lemon juice and sugar syrup combine into a refined, graceful cocktail. One sip and we’re transported to Paris in the roaring twenties. For something a bit fruitier, the floral notes of their award-winning London Dry Gin pair beautifully with a the zest of a Cranberry Gin Fizz, while nothing beats the timeless elegance of a Dry Martini.
French 75 (with an English twist)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp sugar syrup
- 50ml River Test gin
- English Sparkling Wine
Method: Put the lemon juice, sugar syrup and gin into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well before straining into a flute and topping up with champagne. Garnish with a strip of lemon peel.
One of the many things that drew us to Penrhos Spirits was the versatility of their gins. Whether adding a summery twist to a French 75 with their Apple and Elderflower gin or a rhubarb kick to a G&T, their gins are a welcome and much-used addition in our drinks cabinet. But in the cooler months we’re partial to a Hot Spiced Gin and Apple Punch, a warming boost on a dark night.
Hot Spiced Gin and Apple Punch
- 1 cinnamon stick
- A couple of cloves
- A generous grating of nutmeg
- 200ml Penrhos Apple & Elderflower Gin
- 800ml Apple Juice
- 50g Demerara Sugar
- Juice of half a lemon or orange
Method: Heat all of the ingredients with the exception of the gin in a saucepan and warm through for five minutes. Add the sugar to taste, depending on the sweetness of your apple juice. Remove from the heat and add the gin and lemon/orange juice before garnishing with a slice of apple and a cinnamon stick. Serves four.
With so many cocktail recipes to try, and such a wonderful selection of British spirits to experiment with, you’ll find us shaking up a storm at Barbury Hill HQ. What’s your favourite cocktail? Drop us a line and let us know how you’re mixing Penrhos, River Test and Bitter Union at home.

Argentina’s government has called on the United Kingdom to provide detailed information about the alleged movement and use of nuclear weapons during the 1982 South Atlantic conflict, after a report revealed that as many as 31 depth charges were sent to sea near the disputed Malvinas (Falkland) Islands during the war.
Last week, the Declassified UK website reported that a number of British warships deployed to the South Atlantic following Argentina’s invasion of the disputed islands were armed with dozens of nuclear depth charges.
According to the report, aircraft carriers HMS Hermes, HMS Invincible and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship, Regent, carried 31 nuclear weapons in total to the region’s seas, though no ship encroached upon the “total exclusion zone” around the islands imposed by the UK government at the time.
The article, written by veteran defence and security journalist and author Richard Norton-Taylor, said that new files released to the National Archives revealed that the presence of nuclear weapons had “caused panic among officials in London” who were concerned by the potential damage the “nuclear depth bombs” could cause if they were “lost or damaged.”
Responding to the revelations, Argentina’s Foreign Ministry warned this week that if it did not receive answers from the British authorities, it would take “measures” and “raise this situation before the competent international bodies.”
"Despite the UK's reluctance to provide detailed information on the matter, our country has on several occasions expressed its concern before different international fora about the possibility, confirmed in 2003, that the UK had introduced nuclear weapons into the South Atlantic," said a statement from the Palacio de San Martín.
Raising the possibility that Britain may have breached the 1967 Treaty of Tlatelolco (which established a nuclear free zone in Latin America and its seas), the Foreign Ministry said that it is essential to “ensure that there are no nuclear weapons anywhere in the South Atlantic, either in sunken ships, on the seabed or under any other form or circumstance."
Argentina and the UK maintain a sovereignty dispute over the islands, over which they fought a war in 1982 that ended 74 days later with the surrender of Argentina, then ruled by a military dictatorship. During the war, 648 Argentines and 255 British died. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Dr. Moore received his training in England. He earned a B.Sc. from Durham University in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and a Ph.D. in human retroviruses and cancer from Cambridge. His post doctoral research was also in Cambridge, focused on human papillomavirus (HPV) life cycle and vaccines.
Dr. Moore continued his focus on HPV in Vancouver when he joined the GSC at the end of 2003. In early 2005 he took on his current role as Sequencing Group Leader. Genomics has undergone rapid and dramatic technological advances and the GSC has been at the cutting edge of these changes. From capillary sequencing to nanopore sequencing of 100 kilobase reads and from Megabases to Petabases of sequence data generated. These advances have enabled a genome- and transcriptome-wide focus on cancer research that the GSC is actively involved in.
Dr. Moore’s research focus is on cancer genomics and technology development, with a personal interest in cancer-causing infectious agents. One highlight being the Fusobacterium and colo-rectal cancer association (Castellarin et. al. Genome Research 2012) that was named one of the 10 medical breakthroughs of 2012 by Time magazine.
Dr. Moore is fortunate to have been involved in a large number of research projects whilst at the GSC, contributing to impactful publications. He was listed by Clarivate as a “highly cited researcher of 2018” by virtue of being in the top 1% of cited scientists. He is an author on over 170 articles, each with more than 10 citations.
Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University
Dr. Moore oversees the sequencing laboratory at the GSC and plays an active role in experimental design for internal and collaborative projects. The sequencing laboratory includes the Illumina platforms and nanopore sequencers, with a total capacity of 80 terabases per month. Dr. Moore also oversees the targeted clinical panel sequencing pipeline which processes 350 samples per month.
Dr. Moore is chair of the technical development committee at the GSC which tests and validates new approaches and protocols in genomics. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dates and venues for UB40s' Unprecedented Tour
UB40 featuring Ali Campbell and Astro have announced a run of shows for 2021 - The Unprecedented Tour - calling at some of the biggest venues in the country.
Like so many other artists whose plans for 2020 have been thwarted by the global pandemic, the band fronted by founding members Ali Campbell and Astro, and backed by their seven-piece band, have taken the decision to tour next year.
Hide AdAs the most authentic expression of the Birmingham band’s original aims, Ali and Astro continue to curate and build on a legacy that dates back over four decades to the group’s formative days.
UB40 topped the UK singles chart on three occasions and sold 70 million records as they took their smooth yet rootsy musical blend to all corners of the globe.
Between 1983 and 1998 the group produced three Labour Of Love albums, bringing hits such as Eric Donaldson’s Cherry Oh Baby, Lord Creator’s Kingston Town and Johnny Osbourne’s Come Back Darling to a new global audience.
They also topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic with their reggae cover of Neil Diamond’s Red Red Wine.
Hide AdTheir last tour visited the world’s biggest arenas, with their last album 2018’s A Real Labour of Love narrowly missing out on topping the UK charts.
During lockdown the band hit the headlines when Ali and Astro reassembled the touring band remotely to record a cover of late Bill Withers’ Lean On Me in aid of NHS Charities Together.

Camarda will make first Milan start in Morata's absence, says Fonseca
Alvaro Morata cannot play on Saturday after sustaining a head injury in training, so 16-year-old Francesco Camarda will be given a chance.
Paulo Fonseca confirmed teenage forward Francesco Camarda will make his first Milan start in place of the injured Alvaro Morata against Cagliari.
Morata suffered a head injury in training on Thursday and was taken to hospital where an MRI was carried out, and while no damage was found, he will take no part in Saturday's away game.
"It was a strange situation, in an exercise yesterday he collided with [Strahinja] Pavlovic," Fonseca told reporters.
"Initially, I didn't think it was such a problem as it turned out to be, but he is not ready to play tomorrow. He's fine, but he's not ready."
Morata has, however, been selected in Spain's Nations League squad, with their manager Luis de la Fuente saying the player is fit, something which surprised Fonseca.
"I don't know why he said that. There is a protocol that says that a player must stop for 10 days," Fonseca added.
"I don't know how he can say that he plays. That is, it is not an option, it is a mandatory thing. I don't know how De la Fuente can do this."
With Morata, who has scored three goals in all competitions for Milan this season, unavailable, and Luka Jovic struggling for fitness, it was expected that Tammy Abraham would lead the line at Cagliari after recovering from a shoulder injury.
However, Fonseca revealed he had instead chosen the 16-year-old Camarda.
"Morata at the moment has a very specific role. Morata is not always a striker, but many times he is a player who unlocks the passing lines," said the 51-year-old.
"I think Camarda right now is more ready than Abraham to play this role."
Last season, Camarda became the youngest-ever player to appear in Serie A, coming on as a late substitute against Fiorentina in November at 15 years, eight months and 16 days old.
He then came on to replace Morata during Milan's 3-1 Champions League win over Club Brugge last month, where he thought he had scored his first goal for the club, but it was ruled offside, and now the youngster will get his first chance from the start.
"For me, it's not surprising. He works with us every day. I think everyone at the club believes in him a lot, he works well and understands the role well," Fonseca said.
"For me, players have no age, they have quality. And he shows every day that he has quality." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Princess, at her request, started ballet classes before Christmas. We paid for the gear and we paid for the lessons. After two weeks, she said that she didn’t like it and she wanted to give up. I wouldn’t let her on the grounds that I think it’s bad for her to be able to take up and give up things on a whim (we have previously had a similar experience with swimming, I can only rejoice that I have never succombed to requests for a pony).
The ballet teacher has already taken me aside and told me that the Princess shows no interest in class. Last Saturday, I was called aside again. They are having a show at the end of March. As I understood it, the Princess was to be the seventh snowdrop of seven. No longer. The ballet teacher said that since the Princess was inclined to wander off, she was worried that she would fall off the stage. The stage is very high. In my heart of hearts, I believe that the ballet teacher’s real problem is that she does not want one of her snowdrops to be out of time and wandering aimlessly around the stage and she is using health and safety concerns to achieve this objective.  I do sympathise but, at the same time, they are only 5; how much can the Princess be ruining the performance? The ballet teacher is obviously very keen to get rid of the Princess as she has offered (enthusiastically) to refund me the fees for the term.
The Princess is, understandably, a bit upset that she won’t be in the concert but I think she would bear up very well, if she knew that she could give up ballet. We have given her a chance to put her defence which goes as follows a) she cannot hear the teacher b) it is too complicated c) it is too cold d) she does stay with the group and e) it’s not fair.
Internet, what should I do? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Mac Cosmetics released a limited edition make up-set which has alot of uses besides making you look like Malificent herself. Mac says:
This limited-edition colour collection in specially designed packaging to delight the most demanding of dark sorceresses. Intensely admired for her evil elegance, despite her efforts to instill fear in the hearts of generations, this icon casts a spell of absolute adoration with sensuous shades so wickedly gorgeous, who needs beauty sleep?

Hook Bracelet Sizing
Receiving the wrong size bracelet can be frustrating, please take the time to measure your wrist, simply follow the instructions below.
When ordering the correct size bracelet, measure over your wrist bone loosely, and add a half an inch, select the size that is closest to your measurement.
The average women's size bracelet is size 7. The average men's bracelet is size 8. If you are ordering any size other then the above recommendation please measure your wrist very carefully to avoid getting the wrong size bracelet.
For example: If your wrist measures 6 1/2 inches, add one 1/2 inch. You would order a 7 inch bracelet.
If your wrist measures 5 3/4, add one 1/2 inch, which would give you 6 1/4 inches, now round off to the next size up. We would recommend ordering a 6 1/2 inch bracelet.
This sizing is for Caribbean Hook Bracelets and not for the Caribbean Clasp Bracelets
Caribbean Clasp Bracelets
To measure for the Caribbean Clasp Bracelets please deduct 1 inch from your wrist measurements as the clasps themselves are 1 inch. So if you determine that you normally wear a 7 inch bracelet then you would order a 6 inch Custom Clasp Bracelet to allow 1 inch for the clasp.
Caribbean Hook Rings
Rings come in standard ring sizes and do not require any special measurements. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
BlueGround is an American country music group from Czech Republic composed of brothers Marek Mikulas (lead vocals, electric guitar), and Martin Mikulas (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, banjo) and rounded out by a selection of skillful musicians. Jaroslav Teska (bass guitar, vocals) is a founding member and important cornerstone of the band, other members of the line-up is Filip Vrba (fiddle) and rock solid drummer Kamil Němec.
The band was founded in 2001 and since 2013 has been performing in the current personnel. The band has played hundreds of festival gigs, club performances or concerts at different venues in Czech Republic and around Europe. In 2008 it received a special Award by The Main Scene Of Country Music in CR. In 2015, the band took the 1st place at the International Country Music Awards 2015, as well as The Best Original Song Award 2015 with „There´s Room In Here For Two“.
BlueGround´s repertoire features smash hits of contemporary and traditional country music as well as country rock or bluegrass classics, but the band also works on original material. The essential philosophy leads towards individual creativity and invention but always with deep respect to the best acts of American country music of today and past. A variety of musical instruments and artistry of the players together with five vocals enables to accomplish a full- band sound. Almost all members of the band have long experience from performing in various musical groupings, ranging from bluegrass to country and beat. Deep passion for country music connects them all. Basically all members have experience with studio work and have many CDs and radio recordings under the belt.
In the spring of 2013, BlueGround was asked to back up an extremely talented country singer Klara at the festival gig and the collaboration was so well accepted that Klara stayed with the band ever since. Klara, already loved by thousands, toured all over Europe and Canada as the lead singer of the Country Sisters and shared stage with Terri Clark, Tanya Tucker, Carlene Carter, Wanda Jackson, Lonestar and the Bellamy Brothers just to name a few. Her collaboration with BlueGround is a perfect match of two genuine acts.
In 2012, still without Klára, BlueGround released their first album entitled “Love&Alcohol“completely featuring Czech material and therefore focusing on the Czech market and airplay. In the spring of 2015 comes out the second album entitled BlueGround & Klára – “Room For Two” which is a project featuring all English songwriting and is also supported by the band´s first official music video. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The new mechanical Record 12x2 Speed derailleur: speed, dexterity, precision, and effectiveness.
The Campy Tech Lab designers focused on functionality, performance, and compatibility when redesigning the new front derailleur. The new Record mechanical 12x2 Speed derailleur reveals various technical innovations; starting with the leverage system, which is designed to speed-up shifting. Less effort is required for shifting thanks to the split front link rod, which avoids contact with the travel limit screw, and the shape of the inner cage plate, designed to match the new 12-speed chain’s characteristics.
The micro-adjustments to the front derailleur position (which can be activated by the controls) make it possible to avoid any chain contact, even in cases of maximum crossing. The plate positioned on the aluminum outer cage prevents the chain from escaping when upshifting and increases speed in the downshift phase, as well as creating a quieter transmission.
As far as compatibility is concerned, the new Record 12x2 Speed front derailleur allows tires up to 32mm thanks to the new upper connecting rod and the double fixing of the cable.

When creating a new look in a room or building a new home, beautiful wood flooring immediately comes to mind. From the natural look of fresh cut wood, to genuine details like grain and knots and the warm tonal variation found in many styles, wood floors simply shine. And when your floors are as revolutionary as RevWood Plus laminated wood flooring, floors that gives you complete wood beauty without compromising performance, it’s even easier to keep them shining!
Let’s take a look at the latest eye-catching styles from RevWood Plus and how they can uplift your home with all the natural beauty you crave. Prepare to fall in love…
It goes without saying that visuals are most important to homeowners and designers. Unlike traditional hardwood, RevWood Plus has far greater visual flexibility in terms of achieving rustic or modern looks. Capitalizing on the consistent popularity of oak, Crest Haven delivers a warm, traditional saw-cut oak with a range of color.
Boasting superior realism, Crest Haven features rustic character, subtle saw marks and deep ridges in the grain, accomplishing the look and feel of reclaimed wood. Mohawk has continually developed its technology, along with state-of-the-art production facilities, to improve beveling and texture. As a result, Crest Haven recreates highly sought-after design in five attractive shades including Wrought Iron Oak, Wine Barrel Oak, and Summit Oak. Try to resist these attractive floors.
While oak is still a predominant choice for wood shoppers, pine is steadily growing in demand, competing with the leading wood looks. The launch of Western Ridge from RevWood Plus provides homeowners four rustic pine options with deep embossing for unforgettable floors in shades like Flint Rock Pine and Firelight Pine.
Consumers who don’t immediately think of pine as their go-to species will be delighted to discover that its unique graining gives rooms a desired rustic appearance, which can pair seamlessly with contemporary or traditional style. The fashionable color palate features grey and chestnut tones that showcase the beauty of reclaimed pine with deep weathered texture.
What truly sets RevWood Plus apart from competitive products? The superior realism that Mohawk’s in-house design team is able to develop directly from real hardwood lumber. Along with textures developed specifically for RevWood visuals, there are no “off the shelf” designs. The Southbury RevWood Plus style is a perfect example of the stunning looks that result from this dedicated approach.
From a style and design standpoint, Southbury gives homeowners an elegant, rustic modern oak visual. Warm and traditional with a choice of 5 colors including FrenchBeige, MedievalGray, and Gravelstone, Southbury styles subtly highlight wood grain, knots, and natural character marks. It’s easy to see why these natural tones and lighter shades continue to make a major mark in residential flooring.
Superior Style from RevWood Plus
In the end, the best RevWood Plus style will be the one that a homeowner will cherish for years. With unmatched realism and supreme dent/scratch resistance, the added peace of mind that comes with the 100% waterproof flooring system means RevWood Plus certainly delivers in long-lasting satisfaction. Now, homeowners can install their favorite styles in moisture-prone areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. Using the natural beauty of wood throughout an entire home? That’s a ‘revolutionary step’ we can all get behind! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Popular actress, Freida Pinto rose to fame worldwide for her role in Danny Boyle’s film, Slumdog Millionaire, in 2008. She proved her versatility in acting with her performances in films like Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, Immortals, Trishna, Mowgli: Legend Of The Jungle, Love, Wedding, Repeat and Hillbilly Elegy. The actress shifted her base abroad a few years back and often visits India for special events and family functions.
Recently, Freida Pinto's sister, Sharon got married in a traditional Assamese wedding, and the actress ensured to steal the show with her looks. For her sister's big day, Freida got decked up in a yellow-hued gharara featuring a broad gota patti border on its hemline.

For yet another wedding festivity, Freida Pinto opted for a blue-hued silk saree with silver embroidery on it. She paired it with a matching blouse, oxidised jewellery and a silver potli bag. Her husband, Cory looked dapper in a yellow kurta and white pyjama. Meanwhile, Sharon exuded new bride glow in a pink-hued saree paired with a cream shawl and a gajra-adorned hairdo.
Freida Pinto fell in love with her beau, Cory Tran, who is an adventure photographer by profession. After dating for some time, the couple got engaged. And in October 2021, she had confirmed her marriage rumours. On October 21, 2021, Frieda announced the news of her wedding to Cory and dropped some adorable pictures with her husband. Along with it, she revealed that they had got married in 2020 and penned:
"Yes, yes, it's true. One year ago I married this gorgeous man of my dreams. No, we were not keeping it a secret or anything. We were simply just enjoying life and happily shared the news with anyone who asked. @coryt and I believe so much in balancing spontaneity with just the right amount of planning. One day it felt so right and so genuinely aligned that we decided we wanted to make it official. This felt so special and fun and let's be honest… it reflected the time in our world just perfectly! The Honda centre has a whole new meaning in our lives now."
We are in love with Freida Pinto's stunning looks for her sister's wedding! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

**Originally posted on Forbes.com**
According to one study, it is estimated that the global spend on training for 2016 was $360 billion and has been growing at a compounded rate of 10% per year. The 2016 spend for training in North America was $162 billion.
So given this huge investment by corporate America, why does it seem like so many training initiatives fail?
Here are the top nine reasons I find:
1. Lack of buy-in/involvement from corporate leadership
2. Poorly delineated success metrics/defined outcomes
3. Lack of accountability or engagement on behalf of the employee population
4. Reason for training is never clearly communicated
5. Lack of resources
6. Training is viewed as an event versus a process
7. Lack of follow-up/follow-through
8. Belief that training fixes everything
9. Training content is not up to date/too generic
If you want to ultimately improve the ROI of your training initiatives, it’s important to provide blended and experiential learning options. This increases receptivity to and implementation of new ideas. When a company blends classroom learning with e-learning and webinars into a private learning community, it stands to see improvements in:
• Employee satisfaction and morale: People are better able to achieve their personal and professional goals.
• Turnover: People are less likely to leave when they’re successful and maximizing their earning potential.
• Onboarding: With self-paced training that isn’t resource-dependent, knowledge transfer is accelerated, resulting in a shorter onboard time.
Transform your training into a private learning community. Allow participants to collaborate with peers and subject matter experts to address unique needs.
Because this learning environment is capable of immediate feedback and modification, participants identify new opportunities for knowledge-sharing, operations imperatives, service updates, market expansion or changing customer needs.
You can also allow participants to revisit specific sections of the learning community as needed and instantly post new insights in audio, video or text formats for peer review and input. This repository of information will allow you to reinforce system-wide, established best practices plus bring on new employees more quickly.
Providing content that is specific and up to date is truly blended learning. It doesn’t require additional resources. It increases engagement of the employee population and is a process versus an event. And with a testing certification component, it can measure successes and outcomes.
To make the most of blended and experiential learning, ensure your training is:
• Affordable. Don’t require trainees to travel. With online training, you wouldn’t need to worry about securing a venue, bringing in professional trainers, etc.
• Time-effective. Make your training self-paced, so trainees are able to access it anytime, anywhere, from any device.
• Faster/more consistent. Ensure your training is on-demand, not instructor-dependent or standardized.
• Scalable/flexible. Your training should be easily updatable. (There’s no need for printed material costs when it’s online).
• Suitable for millennials. Millennials love interactive content and multimedia.
• Able to maximize knowledge transfer/retention. A blended learning solution can increase knowledge retention simply because it is more engaging than learning in a traditional classroom setting. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Liz Cooper & The Stampede live is transfixing like an iridescent soap bubble. Mesmerized by the silky multicolor skin, shifting in hue and shape you are tempted to poke at it like a child. But don’t burst the bubble just yet, hold back and enjoy. Your head rocks from shoulder to shoulder and your ass shifts from hip to hip with temptation your mind is saying pop that bitch there has to be more inside. But don’t lift your finger and stab because she will rip the mother open for you as she does and the inside is a wonderland.
I was at SXSW pin-balling from inside stage to outside stage, from inside stage to outside stage, at the Palm Door on Sixth shooting 15 minutes of each artist set. (The inside and outside stages consisted of Tyler Childers, David Ramirez, Son Little, Caamp, Erika Wennerstrom (of Heartless Bastards), Courtney Marie Andrews, Red Shahan, Marlon Williams, Lucette, Lauren Ruth Ward, Okey Dokey, Liz Cooper & The Stampede, Dead Horses, Parsonsfield). Honestly, I hadn’t listened to most of these artists prior (my ignorance, especially since I hadn’t heard of Tyler Childresat that point).
I squeezed between a few fridge-sized, ear-blistering speakers and popped a couple of stage shots of a blond in a bright orange lily jumpsuit and heeled boots shredding a guitar. I mean shredding, tearing, ripping into this instrument and it was screaming for her. I stopped shooting and watched the whole set. I neglected the other stage on that list but I just couldn’t walk away. I was now a Liz Cooper & The Stampede fan.
The following day at Luck I was shooting artist portraits for short interviews with Garden & Gun Magazine. After checking at Luck the following morning, I had my shot list in hand and hot damn if Liz Cooper wasn’t on it. After another set in the middle of the Luck grounds under and oval circusy looking tent, that she no doubt smashed again, I caught up with her and did a quick portrait behind Willies Saloon on a green velvet couch.
Her kaleidoscope style and power drive it home.

Medical professionals and counselors have professional standards to follow for their respective fields, but they are also bound by applicable federal and state laws.
HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This federal law requires the protection of sensitive patient health information.
Guidelines under HIPAA
Also known as the patient privacy rule, covered entities must safeguard sensitive patient information from unauthorized access or disclosure without the consent of the patient. Although a flow of information between doctors, facilities and healthcare personnel promotes patient well-being, it cannot comprise the patient’s right to privacy. Those considered covered entities include:
- Healthcare providers
- Health plans
- Business associates
- Healthcare clearinghouses
There are exceptions to this right to privacy, such as when the law requires mandatory reporting of abuse, public health activities, law enforcement requires the information, prevention of a serious threat to safety or health and administrative or judicial proceedings.
Consequences of non-compliance
Covered entities bear serious responsibility for protecting patient privacy. Disclosing information without authorization damages the patient relationship and divulges personal information. It can come with serious legal consequences. There are several possible outcomes for violating HIPAA. Your employer could deal with the violation internally, which could include termination. This could impact future work opportunities, as could the possibility of facing sanctions from a professional licensing board. There is also the possibility of facing criminal charges which could lead to fines or imprisonment.
The severity of the violation influences the consequences of violating HIPAA rules. There are potential civil and criminal actions that will affect your employment and your career. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

After a hard day of work, we can all use some sort of relaxation mechanism to soothe our minds. The murmuring sound of flowing water has always been considered to be therapeutic. The British Council Cultural Centre brings a one of a kind sculptured fountain exhibition, “Duets in metal and water” at our premise under the ExhiBritish Series.
This solo exhibition will showcase 12 unique metal sculptured fountains by Arham Ul Huq Chowdhury, a freelance artist, landscape and interior designer. These are mostly made with the scraps from the mobility aid making workshop of the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) in Savar. It aims to upcycle and bring in positive environmental effects of water features. Mr Arham has been an active volunteer of CRP since 2000. His interest and involvement with arts began from his childhood.
The British Council aims to align all of its activities to reach sustainable development goals (SDGs). In order to contribute to SDG 10: Reduce Inequalities, we are hosting this exhibition and also support relevant initiatives. All the proceeds from the disability awareness exhibition will go to the welfare funds of CRP who works for the development and empowerment of persons with disability.
We cordially invite you to visit this exclusive exhibition and lure your mind towards the creativity and enchanting calmness of these sculptured fountains. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

How Annual Fire Alarm Inspections Save You Money
After installing your fire alarm system, it’s important to schedule annual fire inspections to ensure everything is running properly. This will save you money in the present and the future. Consider these three ways an annual fire inspection puts money back in your pocket:
Avoid Costly Fines
Upon the implementation of the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), having annual fire inspections are required by law. If you don’t have annual fire inspections, you are breaking the law and could have costly fines placed on your company. Contact your Macon security experts with your questions!
Eliminate the Potential for Lawsuits
The worst thing that could happen during a fire is someone losing their life. In the event of a fire, fire alarms alert people of danger and allow them to take action toward safety. If your fire alarm system fails to work due to a forgotten fire inspection, a lawsuit may be on your hands.
Receive a Lower Premium with Your Insurance Company
Certain insurance companies lower your premium if you have regular, scheduled fire inspections! By scheduling these inspections, you are being proactive about the safety of your personnel and building. These inspections contribute to less damage since professionals will be able to respond faster.

We are a full-service security company and integrator, serving the Middle Georgia area – Warner Robins, Macon, Milledgeville, Perry, and beyond.

Editors know that there isn’t anything more eye-catching in real estate than talking about people losing their home. In California, lenders are required to offer every delinquent homeowner a loan modification before being able to foreclose, so those who want to keep their house will likely find a way to do it. Judging by the graph above, very few homeowners are giving it away!
Despite the declining rates and the robust economy that characterized the U.S. during the fourth quarter, the Federal Reserve’s pursuit of lower inflation has proven to be an obstacle for the American housing market.
The consequence of that pursuit, which pushed up borrowing costs on U.S. households, is a 16 percent year-over-year surge in mortgage delinquencies (60 days past due), according to TransUnion’s fourth-quarter Credit Industry Insights report, exposing the growing struggle of consumers in the face of evolving macroeconomic uncertainties.
TransUnion’s report, produced from billions of updates received each month from banks, credit unions, finance companies, auto dealers, mortgage companies, retailers, student loan providers and public records, found that a total of 1.3 percent of all consumer-level mortgages in the U.S. were in serious delinquency in the fourth quarter of last year.
With roughly 84 million mortgages active in the U.S., according to data from LendingTree, that would mean about 1,092,000 Americans are more than 60 days past due on their mortgages.
While that may seem alarming to some, it isn’t nearly as bad as what happened in the aftermath of the great financial crisis (GFC) in 2008, according to Michele Raneri, vice president and head of U.S. research and consulting at TransUnion.
“We’re still in a pretty good spot, especially when you’re looking at 60 days past due,” Raneri told Newsweek during an interview on Wednesday. “So it has inched up a little bit, but it’s still not come back to what would be considered pre-GFC or probably even pre-pandemic.”
Asked whether or not the slight uptick is of concern, Raneri said, “I don’t think so. Of course, people in the industry are watching it to see if it’s becoming a bigger problem, but I don’t think that it’s something that is an indication of a bigger problem.”
She continued that the delinquency issue is not a “systemic” problem reflective of the GFC, partly due to stricter lending standards, and that back in 2008, people had “so little equity in their homes.”

Our moldings are not designed to be an exact match, they are carefully blended to complement the color and finish of your floor, therefore variation in wood grain and color in different pieces is to be expected. Please note this is not a defect but a way to capture the various natural grain and color characteristics of the flooring. Whether you want a uniform look or a variated look between your moldings and flooring, we suggest having the installer sort through floor boards prior to installation to select end boards that best pair with the look you are after. Pre-selecting flooring that will lay next to your moldings before installation will ensure an exceptional result that meets, or even exceeds, your expectations.
Please note that our moldings may be made from different materials or species than the floor boards, but are still crafted to complement any given flooring as closely as possible.
Please note that these products are made to order, only after the order is placed. This production time is taken into consideration when estimating shipping timelines, so please expect a longer lead time for the production of these custom made products. Also, as with all of our special order products that are custom made, our 30 Day Money Back Guarantee does not extend to these custom made products.
Flooring should not be installed until the moldings have arrived. Please click this video link that outlines the installation requirements and blending process. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Considering the complexity and the significant number of people that are involved in a construction project, it is no surprise that construction litigations are becoming increasingly common. So, let’s discover some of the most common causes of construction litigation.
The Quality of Construction
There are various reasons why the quality of construction is extremely crucial. Let’s take a simple example. If a construction is not up to the right standard, it can pose a threat to all those who enter the building and can result into catastrophic outcomes.
If an owner finds out that there are issues with their finished buildings or if the structure does not pass inspections, it is evident that the blame will fall on the contractor.
Now, it is obvious that if a construction process does not match the contract drawings and specifications, and if the contractor has not followed the specific guidelines as stated in the construction contract, this can become a cause for construction dispute. For example, one reason for poor quality construction could be that the materials used were of lower quality than what was agreed upon.
However, there are some cases where these claims can be refuted. But, either way, poor construction quality can often result in construction litigation.
Construction Project Delays
Do you know what the most significant stressor for construction projects is? Construction delays!
Construction projects often end up with several unforeseen delays, and it is indeed true that these delays are usually not the fault of the contractor. For example, delays can be caused by weather, permits, lack of materials and labor, noise and so on. But, there are some written agreements that require a completion date. This represents a possibility that the contractor can incur penalties for all delays after the agreed completion date.
As a result, this often leads to disputes and the only solution to the problem is by hiring a Construction Expert Witness service like Kane Construction Management Inc.
Suppose you are a contractor and upon the completion of a project, the owner has not given you the agreed-upon compensation. Did you know that you can sue them for nonpayment?
For instance, in some cases of nonpayment, contractors have filed a mechanic’s lien. This is simply a legal claim which is made by contractors or subcontractors when they have not received necessary payments. And, let me tell you that these legal documents go further than just a standard lawsuit. As a matter of fact, they become attached to the property’s deed and appear on public record.
What does this mean? It means that the property cannot be sold until the liens are dealt with. And, unless the contractor has breached any terms of the contract, it is compulsory for the owner of the construction project to complete the transaction.
Now, even if safety protocols are being followed and safe and high-quality equipment is being used on a job site, there is still a chance for an accident to occur on construction sites.
Neither the contractor nor the owner would want a worker to get injured, but it is essential to consider who is at fault if it does happen. For instance, if the worker has intentionally put himself at risk, he is responsible for his own actions. But, if the worker didn’t receive proper safety education, proper equipment to work with and was working in unsafe conditions, then the liability would definitely fall on the boss.
If you are facing any type of construction dispute as indicated above, don’t wait to contact Kane Construction Management Inc today for their expert construction witness services! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

- Hindalco Industries was the top performer with nearly 7% gains followed by Vedanta, NALCO, Tata Steel and SAIL which rose 4%-6%.
- The Chinese government is considering raising $220 billion by selling special bonds to accelerate infrastructure funding and reviving the pandemic-hit economy.
- The funds raised are for infrastructure spending.
- Analysts say the development will boost Indian metal companies.
The shares of Indian metal companies shot up right after Bloomberg reported that the Chinese government was considering raising $220 billion by selling special bonds to accelerate infrastructure funding and revive the pandemic-hit economy. These sales of bonds are likely in the second half of the year.
The funds raised are to be used for accelerating the country’s infrastructure development that had taken a hit post the pandemic and the collapse of Evergrande.
The demand for metal commodities like steel from China has been muted since September 2021, when Evergrande, the second-largest real estate developer in China, crumbled under the weight of its own debt.
The Indian government’s 15% duty on steel exports have also been hurting the sector, crimping exports.
This latest stimulus plan will revive demand for metals and is seen as a much needed booster for the Indian metal companies, which had ramped up exports to the country in recent times after Chinese companies shut down or underwent lockdowns.
On Thursday, Aditya Birla Group firm Hindalco Industries, one of the biggest aluminium and copper manufacturers, was the top performer on the Nifty 50, ending almost 7 percent higher at ₹364.40 on Thursday. Steel makers Tata Steel and Jindal Steel ended up 5.6 percent and 5.4 percent respectively.
The Nifty Metal index closed nearly 4% higher today.
Analysts believe the development in China is a much needed push for domestic metal companies.
“Since there is news that China is coming out with a large stimulus of $220 billion, which could put a lot of strength in metals and commodities, which are trading at abysmal levels. Currently, there are many metals stocks which are trading below their value. China has acted like a real icing on the cake. We believe metals are very big value pitches, which need a right recipe for movement and that has just come,” Sanjiv Bhasin, director at IIFL Securities, told Business Insider India. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A Stolen Van Gogh Painting Returned in an Ikea Bag on Display Again, but with a Deep Scratch
A stolen Van Gogh painting has been returned and put on display, but it now has a deep scratch on its surface.
The Stolen Painting Returns
A stolen painting by Vincent van Gogh has been put back on display after being returned in an Ikea bag. However, it now has a white scratch running over its surface.
The painting, titled "The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring," was shown in its damaged state at a press conference at the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands.
It was stolen in March 2020 while on loan to another museum and was mysteriously returned three and a half years later in a blue Ikea bag.
The Damage and Restoration
The damaged painting has a white scratch near the bottom, deep enough to reveal the linen underneath. It is believed that the scratch was caused by the painting hitting a hard surface.
Marjan de Visser, who worked on restoring the painting, described the scratch as severe because it goes through all the layers, including the varnish, paint layers, and ground layer.
"The Parsonage Garden at Neunen" was completed by Van Gogh in May 1884 and is estimated to be worth up to $6.8 million.
Exhibition and Other Recovered Paintings
Despite the damage, the painting will be exhibited for public viewing at the Gronginer Museum starting from March 28. This highlights the resilience and historical significance of the artwork.
In recent years, there have been several instances of stolen high-profile paintings being recovered. The FBI recovered an 18th-century painting that had been missing for 78 years, and the same art detective who found the Van Gogh painting also successfully tracked down a stolen Picasso painting.
The Gronginer Museum has not yet commented on the situation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

“There is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch, every split second is claimed by God, and counterclaimed by Satan.” – CS Lewis
In chemistry, we investigated and experimented with the idea of significant digits in measurements and calculations. “Sig figs”, as we like to call them, are hard at first: a majority of students have never even heard of the term, and the rules seem random and arbitrary. If you are wondering what these sig figs are, ask a chemistry student or see this link.
For the first day or two, students are caught up in the details of zeros, right answers, and what all this math has to do with chemistry. As we work through more examples and use the rules in a lab, students feel much more comfortable with the idea of sig figs. It was then that I asked students this question: “How do significant digits make you a better Christian?”
After the initial blank stares, we really dug into what it means to do science Christianly. Many students responded that using significant digits helps us appreciate God more, and I hope that is true for all students at Calvin! But I also hope it doesn’t stop there. If these students go through a year of science and are only able to say that they can appreciate God’s creation more, I won’t be disappointed, but I will feel like they missed something important and practical.
Students all around the world in chemistry classes are learning about significant digits, so why learn about it at Calvin? What makes it different? Students knew they were there to learn chemistry from a Christian perspective, but they didn’t really grasp how we actually do that on a daily basis. What does a Christian perspective look like in science?
Science done Christianly has many aspects, but the top one, as identified by many students, was quality. Christians need to do really, REALLY good science. God calls us to work at whatever we do for His glory, and applying that calling to science yields only our best work. Our fallen natures will not allow for poor quality science to be eradicated completely, but that we work with all our strength to move towards scientifically sound practices.
Christian science also requires science literate students. If our students graduate Calvin without a proper introduction to various parts of science, like significant digits, we’ve done our students and the name of Christianity a disservice. In order to participate in the fields that God calls us to redeem, we need to know how to talk the talk and walk the walk. We as Christians shouldn’t stand outside the realm of science and hope for it to get better. We need to get in the middle of science and be the change we want to see.
That brings me to the third aspect of Christian science. In “walking the walk”, our students walk should be different than other scientists. A strong work ethic led in honesty and respect for other people, the data, and the creation should characterize our Calvin Christian alumni. A lab that values each member of the team and treats the materials as the handiwork of God reflects Christian principles. Hypocrisy is easy to spot in people that claim to hold themselves to a higher standard and act contrary to that. The scientific world is ladened with false data, competitive moves that cut others down, and wasteful use of resources. God calls His people to be redeeming agents in that messed-up world, and only young people with strong standing in their character, high standards, and intentional graciousness will be able to shine the light of Jesus in this realm.
Since the fall of Adam and Eve, humans have been notorious for falling short of our God-given callings. This is arguably the most important area for Christian scientists to witness to others: grace. Our students have the opportunity to show the grace and love of Jesus in a world that rarely feels it. They can be the coworker that shows genuine interest in each person. They can be the advocate of honesty and justice in the lab. They have the chance to share Jesus in the most unexpected places, and what greater calling and blessing is that? Pray that God strengthens our students to practice that very conduct now and everyday at Calvin Christian. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Top brand choice
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Banzel is a seizure medication, also called an anti-epileptic or anticonvulsant. Banzel is used together with other medicines to treat seizures caused by Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of childhood epilepsy that also causes developmental and behavior problems. Banzel is for use in adults and children who are at least 1 year old.
You should not use Banzel if you have a severe liver disease, or a genetic heart rhythm disorder called short QT syndrome. You should not stop taking Banzel suddenly, unless your doctor tells you to stop the medicine because of a serious side effect. Some people have thoughts about suicide while taking seizure medication. Stay alert to changes in your mood or symptoms. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Abstract:Nonprehensile manipulation is essential for manipulating objects that are too thin, large, or otherwise ungraspable in the wild. To sidestep the difficulty of contact modeling in conventional modeling-based approaches, reinforcement learning (RL) has recently emerged as a promising alternative. However, previous RL approaches either lack the ability to generalize over diverse object shapes, or use simple action primitives that limit the diversity of robot motions. Furthermore, using RL over diverse object geometry is challenging due to the high cost of training a policy that takes in high-dimensional sensory inputs. We propose a novel contact-based object representation and pretraining pipeline to tackle this. To enable massively parallel training, we leverage a lightweight patch-based transformer architecture for our encoder that processes point clouds, thus scaling our training across thousands of environments. Compared to learning from scratch, or other shape representation baselines, our representation facilitates both time- and data-efficient learning. We validate the efficacy of our overall system by zero-shot transferring the trained policy to novel real-world objects.

Study on growth scenarios following the implementation of the Italian plan
The mechanisms for transmitting the reforms included in the NRP to the real economy, the indicators that could be useful for monitoring their effects and the implications for Italy are the subject of the "The long-term challenge of the NRP is through reforms" brief, produced by CDP Think Tank and now available in the dedicated section of the website.
After describing the key features of the reforms included in the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP), the document discusses the mechanisms of transmission of reform-induced improvements, in the institutional environment and regulatory framework, to the real economy. A number of synthetic indicators are also presented that could potentially be useful in monitoring the contribution of the reforms to institutional quality, as are the main implications for the Italian economy related to the achievement of the objectives set out in the NRP.
The effects of the reforms would lead to an increase in the long-term growth path, consistently and sustainably reinforcing the effect of public investment linked to the NRP. Italy's GDP could return to 2007 levels, prior to the global financial crisis, as early as 2025, reaching a consistently higher level over the years than in a scenario without reforms. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Seven women, inextricably linked by one man, must figure out which of them killed him in order to protect one another in this electrifying debut thriller.
New Year’s Eve, 1999.
Seven women are gathered in a hotel room at midnight; a man's head sits in the center of the floor. They all had a motive to kill Jamie Spellman. They all swear they didn't. But in order to protect one another, they have to find out who did.
The ex, who drowns her darkest secret in a hip flask as the woman she loves drifts further away.
The wife, living out her fairytale marriage in a house tucked into woods so thick no one can hear a scream.
The widow, praying to a past she no longer knows whether she can trust.
The teenager, whose wide-eyed crush has trapped her in an unrecognizable future.
The mother figure, battling nature versus nurture under the weight of her own guilt.
The friend, forced to choose sides over and over, until she learns the price of choosing wrong.
And the journalist, who brought them all together—but underestimated how far one of them would go to keep believing the story they’d been told.
Against the ticking clock of a murder investigation, each woman’s secret is brought to light as the connections between them converge to reveal a killer. Marking the debut of an extraordinary new talent, Speak of the Devil explores the roles into which women are cast in the lives of terrible men…and the fallout when they refuse to play pretend for one moment longer. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
By Elizabeth Johnson, Principal and Owner, glee Content Marketing
While Facebook has dominated the headlines most of the year with one crisis after another, its sister social media site, Instagram has quietly grown into a powerful social marketing tool. In June 2018, it reached 1 billion monthly active users, an increase of 200 million people since September 2017. Compare its reach to Facebook at 1.4 billion and Twitter at 68 million and you’ll see it’s a global powerhouse.
Also important is that users hit Instagram’s like button 4.2 billion times a day, on average, and that brands see engagement rates ten times higher than on Facebook. So, if you’re not yet actively using Instagram to promote your event and most importantly, maintain audience engagement, you might want to consider a strategic change. And if you are, you might want to expand your effort.
Here are five ways to use Instagram before, during and after your event:
- Start with Organic Posts. If you don’t already have an Instagram presence for your event brand, establish one with visuals from past events now. Seventy percent of users look up a brand on Instagram—if you’re not there, you’re losing potential connections. Use a mix of photos and videos (Instagram allows videos up to one minute long). Post consistently—the top brands on Instagram post at least once per week. Finally, include relevant hashtags to gain awareness and grow your audience.
- Use Instagram for Influencer Marketing. Influencer marketing is arguably the fastest growing marketing tactic of 2018. While it takes a significant and focused effort to build an effective influencer campaign aside from your social media marketing strategy, Instagram is the platform of choice for influencers. If this is a tactic you’re working on, establish a network of micro-influencers in your industry that are willing to promote your event on their Instagram (preferably in their own words for authenticity), tagging your profile and using event-specific hashtag you create.
- Create Themed Instagram Stories. Instagram Stories are Instagram’s answer to Snapchat—posts that disappear after 24 hours. And while it may not seem worth it to put resources into content that disappears, it turns out Millennials watch stories on Instagram more often than any other platform and Gen Z watch them almost as much as they do on Snapchat. Plus, if you create stories with a theme, for example networking or exhibits, you can then save them as highlights on your profile demonstrating the full event to your audience in an easily digestible format.
- Allow Opportunities for Attendees to Instagram your Event to Their Followers. User-generated content is big on Instagram, and it can have a big impact on your event. Onsite, you should build in opportunities for your attendees to share their experiences with their Instagram communities. Think of ways to be creative when planning the event itself. Activities that lend themselves to Instagram include creative food and beverage experiences, unique venues and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. When attendees want to share aspects of your event, they’re doing the marketing for you.
- Advanced Instagram Marketers, Tap into the Power of Ads and IGTV. If you’ve successfully established your event brand presence, take your Instagram to the next level. Instagram continues to add capabilities for marketers to capitalize on. Paid ads are powerful engagement tools if you have the budget and IGTV (Instagram TV) is a standalone app that integrates with Instagram to share long-form video content. While some brands have had trouble drawing attention to their IGTV platforms, Instagram is adding capabilities to help, namely allowing previews of the IGTV video content in Instagram Stories.
Clearly, there are a lot of possibilities available for event brands on Instagram. This highly-visible platform can really give your audiences a feel for your event. Like every social media effort, it’s critical to maintain the effort year-round to maintain its benefits, so don’t stop posting just because registration isn’t open. And don’t stop learning either, more Instagram marketing features are currently in beta testing so 2019 is sure to be filled with new ways to grow and engage your audience.

Our customer Sathapana Bank in Cambodia has publicly announced their new Cash Recycling ATM machines. It's a milestone for Sathapana who has chosen WAY4 to renovate its banking services. The bank invited OpenWay representatives to the ribbon cutting event.
Sathapana Bank would roll out new cash recycling ATMs in branches and off- sites countrywide to bring a new level of express banking services to the customers.
The bank will introduce 50 new cash recycling ATMs across the country increasing the total number of Sathapana’s ATMs to 150 so far this year.
“Sathapana is making an investment in latest technologies, such as cash recycling ATMs, to provide our customers with fast, secure and convenient banking services and experiences across the country,” said Mr Norihiko Kato, Chief Executive Officer of Sathapana Bank.
Mr Kato added, “With the new ATM, customers can deposit cash into their account anytime including before and after business hours, weekends, and holidays. The new machine can accept the largest number of cash notes to deposit with precise sensing technology.
Of course, with the ATM, customers can withdraw cash and make remittances and other transactions as they can already do now. Also, cash recycling ATMs reduces the frequency of cash replenishment required, which improves the efficiency of operation of the bank.”
“This is the first time that we introduce our product in Cambodia. We are honoured to partner with Sathapana Bank to provide our cash recycling ATM machines and services in the Cambodian market,” said Mr Kokichi Murayama, Executive Operating Officer and General Manager Global Business Group of Hitachi-Omron Terminal Solutions, Corp.
The launch of the new cash recycling machines is one of Sathapana Bank’s initiatives to bring in the latest banking technologies to the market in order to provide customers with secure and convenient banking services.
Sathapana Bank is one of the leading commercial banks in Cambodia with total assets of over US$ 1 Billion. The bank has the second-largest branch network in the country with 168 branches and more than 4,000 employees. The bank provides full banking products and services such as loans, deposits, domestic and foreign remittances, guarantees, and export and import settlement, among others. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Disinformation is the real winner in government’s light touch response to the ACCC Digital Platforms Inquiry
This briefing note from the Australia Institute's Centre for Responsible Technology examines the government's response to the ACCC Digital Platforms Inquiry.
The landmark ACCC Digital Platform Inquiry was a great opportunity for the Australian government to lead much needed reform in the online media and advertising industry.
However, the Government chose to deliver a light touch response on the issues which have been clearly and thoroughly presented.
The most urgent issue of disinformation online platforms continues to be unaddressed, with the call for a voluntary code of conduct falling well short of the action needed.
Platforms like Facebook have continually fallen short of the management of harmful disinformation and their current voluntary efforts demonstrate that stronger regulation is required. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
We believe God and the child have a unique relationship with one another. Children need their own place to foster the growth of that relationship. The growth of this relationship is assisted by the adult, but is directed by the Spirit of God within the child.
Find an Atrium
What is the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd? The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd was born from the joy of the children’s encounter with God. It has been observed that children of the same developmental stage, even those from widely varying cultural backgrounds, respond to elements of the Christian message in the same way.
Roman Catholic Tradition
In Catechesis of the Good Shepherd adults are given the opportunity to embrace a method of catechesis (or religious education) that will deepen one’s relationship with God. Catechist formation in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is both instructive as well as experiential. It captivates both the head as well as the heart.
Becoming a Formation Leader
Good Shepherd and the Child Podcast
We read in the Gospel of Mark that Jesus sent his disciples out in pairs, two by two; the journey was not meant to be a solitary one. It is essential for us as catechists to support one another as we prepare materials, work in the atrium, and observe the child. We come together in unity, as members of CGSUSA, to share the joy of this work.
40th Anniversary Celebration Event
Through their joy, their wonder and awe, their capacity for love and prayer, and their radical simplicity, children offer us adults a glimpse of what it means to fall in love with God. This has been the work of CGSUSA for over 30 years: to advocate for the child’s joy.
