Juventus’ entire board of directors have shockingly resigned from their posts, including president Andrea Agnelli and vice president Pavel Nedved.
A unanimous decision has been made by the board of directors at the Old Lady to resign en masse.
Managing director Maurizio Arrivabene is set to remain in charge of his administrative duties despite also resigning, with the club set to fall into a significant period of transition.
The 2021-22 saw a year of record-breaking losses published by the Turin club, with a £220 million (€254.3m) loss being registered by the Serie A giants.
The decision was made upon the proposal of president Agnelli after the board agreed that it was in the best interest of the club for a new board to take over at Juventus.
Agnelli’s decade overseeing an unprecedented period of dominance at the Allianz Arena including a nine-year run of Serie A titles has now come to an end as a result.
A statement published on the club’s official website said that the board received ‘new legal and accounting opinions’ from independent experts in charge of assessing the ‘critical issues’.
Agnelli’s period of unprecedented dominance at the Allianz Arena – including a nine-year run of Serie A titles – has now come to an end as a result.
The full board of directors also includes Laurence Debroux, Massimo Della Ragione, Katryn Fink, Daniela Marilungo, Francesco Roncaglio, Giorgio Tacchia, and Suzanne Keywood, as well as Agenlli, Nedved, Arrivabene.
Juventus, under Agnelli’s stewardship, are still signed up to the breakaway league along with Barcelona and Real Madrid, despite the other nine European clubs quickly stepping away from the project due to backlash from the football community.
To take up the European Super League vice-chairman role, Agnelli had to resign from his executive-level positions in the European Club Association and the UEFA committee.
However, Juventus have fallen off its perch in recent seasons, with Inter and AC Milan winning the last two Serie A titles respectively.
Juventus are currently third in the Serie A table, 10 points behind leaders Napoli, and are currently managed by Massimiliano Allegri who Agnelli let go in 2019 only to rehire him 18 months later.
Juventus were also knocked out of the Champions League group stages earlier this month and dropped into the Europa League a further blow to their financial standing.
According to various Italian media outlets, the unanimous decision comes as a result of the body’s involvement in the Prisma investigation, opened by the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Shareholders are set to meet on 18 January 2023 to appoint the new board, the club said.
But despite overseeing a period of dominance for the Italian giants, and spending lavishly in the transfer market of late, Juventus has lost its footing at the pinnacle of Italian football.

This is going to take a teeny bit more time and effort than I would have thought, if I had taken time to consider the matter, but they are coming along nicely.
"Is that your whole work team??" |
One of the interesting and useful qualities of the original Prince Valiant series is that it mixes a wide variety of settings and time, mixing late Romans and Huns with Vikings, Arabs, North American "Indians" etc., up to 12thC or even 13thC knights. When I went looking for references of the sort of ships that might fit in, I initially thought of Viking long ships, but the variety of ship styles in the strips gave me wide options, but, various cogs not only appeared most often in the strips but it was the easiest option for modifying my toy pirate ships into ships for Prince Michael and his foes to sail across the tabletop.
Modern replicas. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cog_%28ship%29 |
Without having thought about it, I was kinda expecting all sorts of 'flash' paint jobs, like the Greek triremes with the big eyes etc but nope, most of the replicas are just plain wood like an everyday working ship with only a few having some spiffy trim. Which is good for me, much simpler for ships that will probably have to serve from the Dark Ages to the 16thC to the mid 19th Century on Lake Champlain or the Great Lakes or some fictional setting. After all, they will be toy ships for toy soldiers, not historical models.

The Halifax 2014 Commonwealth Games Bid Committee announces the creation of the Halifax 2014 Sport Advisory Committee, which will be responsible for overseeing sports selections for Halifax’s 2014 Commonwealth Games bid.
Frank Garner, former international level athlete, Olympic coach, chief Olympic canoe official, and major sporting events administrator is heading the advisory committee which includes bid committee representatives as well as sport administrators and experts from the local, national and international sport community.

The Commonwealth Games Federation requires a minimum of 10 out of a total 26 possible sports to be held during the Games. Five of the sports are mandatory and include athletics, aquatics, lawn bowls, ruby 7s and netball. The remaining five are selected by the host country as part of its bid.
Garner said, “Halifax has a long and proud sporting history. The 2014 Commonwealth Games will showcase our sporting tradition and bring a world audience to Nova Scotia”.
Garner and the sport advisory committee will work closely with National Sport Organizations and International Sport Federations to ensure Halifax’s venues meet all technical details and standards.
Halifax 2014 CEO Scott Logan said, “our sport team is working to ensure that we host a world class Games that will meet athletes’ needs but will also leave behind a sustainable legacy for future generations. The 2014 Commonwealth Games will give young Nova Scotians increased opportunities and access to participate in physical activity and therefore live healthier lives”.
The Halifax 2014 bid committee says it is now focussing on developing and winning the international bid which will be awarded by the Commonwealth Games Federation on November 9, 2007 in Sri Lanka.

Sent to an orphanage, worked as bus cleaner, yet this man won Gold for India
Narayan Thakur was born in Bihar, but his family was forced to relocate to Delhi after his father suffered a heart ailment. He was just eight when his father passed away due to brain tumor. As his mother could barely afford to bring up three kids all on her own, Narayan was sent to an orphanage in the hope that he’d get food to eat and the chance to study.
In 2010, Narayan left the orphanage to live with his family in Delhi’s slums. He cleaned buses and worked as a waiter to make ends meet.
Despite all these hardships and the fact that he suffers from left-sided hemiparesis, his interest in sports never diminished. The left side of his body had become paralyzed after he suffered a brain stroke.
Opportunity knocked at his door when an acquaintance advised him to practice athletics at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. As he hardly had any money for the commute it demanded, he shifted to Thyagaraj Stadium for training.
Through the training, he worked hard, leaving no stone unturned, and thus made history by becoming the only Indian to clinch a gold medal in the men’s 100m T35 category in the Asian Para Games held in Jakarta.

Since 1989, Kenya’s elephant population has more than doubled
In great news for animal conservationists, The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) recently announced that the number of elephants at the country’s Amboseli National Park has more than doubled in the past three decades.
There were just 16,000 elephants in Kenya in 1989, but that number has grown to more than 34,000, KWS Director John Waweru said.
According to tourism minister, Najib Balala, the number has improved due to decrease in poaching in recent years, likely due to greater fines and stronger jail terms for those convicted of the offense.
“In the past couple of years, we have managed to tame poaching in this country,” Balala said.

US Forest Service in California welcomes firefighters from Mexico because ‘Fires Do Not Have Borders’
The US state of California has been ravaged by record-breaking wildfires that have caused massive destruction, burning over three million acres of land. So in a first, firefighters from Mexico have arrived in California to assist in fighting the wildfires.
In spite of the not-so-cordial relations between the US and Mexico under the Trump administration, the additional assistance from Mexico has been welcomed with open arms by the US Forest Service in California, whose resources are stretched to the limit this year.
“Fires do not have borders, fires do not have different languages and cultures. In the end we all speak the same language when it comes to fighting fire,” said Eduardo Cruz, the Mexican agency’s national fire director.
The five crews from Mexico — a total of 100 firefighters — will help fight the Sequoia Complex Fire, which spans more than 144,000 acres.

Stand out from the crowd with these African Boubous for Men . Unparalleled glamor and comfort make these outfits a "must" for any formal occasion, party, wedding, dowry, religious event, African history month or even family reunion. Our boubous are carefully hand embroidered by the best African designers and can be ordered to measure.
PRESENTATION OF THE AFRICAN BOUBOU FOR MEN
THE men wear boubous throughout West Africa and in West African diasporic communities in Europe and the United States. Sewn from a single piece of fabric, the boubou generally has a width of 150 cm and a variable length. The most elegant style, the grand boubou, typically uses a piece of fabric 300 cm long and reaches to the ankles. Traditionally , the boubou is made to measure in tailors' workshops. To do this, fold the fabric in half, form an opening in the neck and sew the sides halfway up to obtain flowing sleeves. For women, the neck is wide and rounded; for men, it forms a long V, usually with a large five-sided pocket intersecting the point of the "V".

Online lottery is an easy way to play the game without having to leave your home. All you need is an internet connection and a good lottery website, and you’re ready to start playing. There are many benefits to this method, including the ability to check your winnings at any time. It also saves time and money by eliminating the need to visit a video gaming parlour. In addition, online lotteries allow you to purchase tickets quickly and easily, even from your mobile phone.
It is important to remember that gambling is not for everyone, and it’s a good idea to use safer gambling practices when you’re playing online. Set deposit limits, do reality checks, and take timeouts as needed. Having these tools in place will help you stay on track when it comes to spending money on online lottery games. If you have a problem controlling your spending, it’s important to seek professional help and stick to the safe gambling tips that are available.
Buying lottery tickets online is becoming more popular with people of all ages. Using a reputable lottery website is essential, and players should look for a secure site and a license from their state’s regulatory body. It’s also a good idea to check for a dedicated customer support team. Lastly, make sure the lottery site is compatible with your device and mobile operating system.
Many states have made it legal for their citizens to buy lottery tickets online, and more are expected to follow suit. There are a variety of different lottery websites that offer these services, and the options will vary by state. Some will allow you to buy tickets directly through their official website, while others will require that you use a third-party lottery courier service.
Lottery sites have become a common place to buy and sell tickets, but you’ll want to find one that offers the type of lottery that you’re interested in. You’ll also want to find out whether the lottery site accepts your preferred payment methods. Pay-by-mobile options are often best, as they’re quick and convenient. Vouchers are another option, but they’re typically only suitable for deposits and not withdrawals.
The jackpot for a given lottery game will vary weekly and may reach millions of dollars. Most online lottery sites will display the current jackpot amount, and they will tell you what the odds are of hitting it. Some sites will also provide information about prizes you can win without hitting the jackpot.
One of the most effective ways to increase your chances of winning the lottery is by purchasing more tickets. Online lottery players can join lottery syndicates, which offer discounted tickets and can multiply your chances of winning. This can be a great way to maximize your lottery bankroll while still having fun. It’s important to remember, however, that every lottery promotion comes with its own T&Cs.

1) The development of desert conditions as a result of human activity or climatic changes. 2) The process of land damage which allows the soil to spread like a desert in arid and semi-arid regions. There is a loss of vegetative cover and the soil deteriorates in texture, nutrient content and fertility. Desertification affects the lives of three-quarters of the world's population, 70% of all drylands and one quarter of the total land area of the planet. There are many reasons for desertification, but the majority are caused by human activities, overgrazing, deforestation, poor land management and over-exploitation. Agenda 21 states that the priority in combating desertification should be establishing preventive measures for lands that are not yet, or are only slightly, degraded. (Source: GEMET -LBC / WRIGHT) /n

Nandini bringing food for Krish and asks him to have food. Krish says he is not hungry. Nandini says you haven’t taken food since yesterday. She says it is not easy for me to bear him in the house. She asks him to look at the matter with maturity. Krish throws the food plate and says you are mature and I am not. My thinking is narrow, and yours is wide, and that’s why I have to do whatever you says. Nandini asks him to talk slow. Krish says you are risking mom’s life. Nandini asks him to accept that Kundan will stay in the house. Krish asks her to accept that their relation can’t be normal until he is here. Karuna. Triveni and Kundan come there. Karuna asks what happened? Nandini says it was a light argument. Karuna says it is not light fight and asks them to tell her.
She says elders can resolve the fight. Kundan says elder should know that children can solve the matter. He takes her with him.
Triveni looks on and says you have splashed food and asks her to clean it. She asks her to come to kitchen. Nandini looks on. She thinks how to make you believe Krish that I am doing this for this house happiness.

Accra, June 17, GNA – AngloGold Ashanti Ghana says the Company’s environmental policy is focused on avoiding, minimizing and mitigating the impact of its activities on the environment and human health.
“Our operations are tightly regulated by relevant Ghanaian laws, international standards, and industry codes of practice,” Mr Eric Asubonteng, the Managing Director, AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Limited said in a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency.
The statement was in response to media allegations of bad environmental practices at its Obuasi Mine.
“The necessary regulatory permits and approvals are in place for our operations, with requirements to ensure our activities are conducted in a sustainable manner to protect natural resources, public health, and the environment,” the statement said.
It said proactive environmental monitoring, which demonstrates compliance, was an integral part of their operations, following which they submit mandatory reports to the relevant government agencies as required by law.
The statement said as such, there was an established comprehensive water management system that includes the following: “All wastewater from our operations (including our Tailings Storage Facilities) are collected into specially designated holding facilities
“Our dedicated water treatment plants treat this wastewater to the required regulatory standards prior to release where applicable
“A comprehensive sampling network to monitor the water quality within the catchment of our operations
“Test results of the water quality monitoring are submitted to the regulatory agencies as part of our compliance strategy on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.”
It said in line with the requirements of the EPA, over the period, AngloGold Ashanti Ghana continued to implement a comprehensive participatory reclamation programme to restore disturbed lands, which were not in use for mine operation, based on a regulatory approved plan, working in close collaboration with all stakeholders, including communities and local authorities.
It said the commencement of the redevelopment of the Obuasi Mine in 2019, AngloGold rolled out a three-year Social Management Plan (SMP), under the theme: “Diversification of the Local Economy” as part of the Obuasi Redevelopment Project.
It said as the SMP ended in 2021, they conducted comprehensive stakeholder consultations which culminated in the formulation of a longer-term (10-year) Socioeconomic Development Plan (SEDP), reflecting the longer life of mine.
It noted that the Socio-economic Development plan served as a blueprint for the mine’s community and social investment towards building resilient and socio-economically self-sustaining communities.
AngloGold Ashanti Ghana remained committed to responsible mining practices and sustainable environmental management and will continue to engage with stakeholders, address concerns, and provide updates on its reclamation efforts.
The goal of AngloGold is to contribute to the well-being of the communities and protect the environment for future generations.

Dry eye syndrome is caused by a chronic lack of moisture and lubrication of the eyes. Your eye’s tears keep the surface of the eye moist and lubricated, as well as washing away dust, debris, and other microorganisms.
What causes dry eye?
Typically dry eye occurs when there is a problem with your tears. Tears are made up of an oily, watery, and mucin component. Any issue with those components could cause dry eye. It could be tear instability, tear film evaporation, or insufficient tear production. The only way to detect the cause of your dry eye is an eye exam.
- Burning sensation
- Itchy eyes
- Aching sensations
- Heavy eyes
- Fatigued eyes
- Sore eyes
- Dryness sensation
- Red eyes
- Photophobia (light sensitivity)
- Blurred vision
Who gets dry eye?
Dry eye can happen to anyone at any age. Each case of dry eye varies in severity and individual tolerance. However, there are certain factors which can increase your risk for dry eyes. These factors include:
- Computer use: Humans blink less frequently when working at computers, allowing for increased tear evaporation.
- Smoking: Causes eyes to dry over time and is the root of various other eye problems.
- Aging: Dry eye syndrome is more common after the age of 50.
- Menopause: Women who have completed menopause are at a higher risk for dry eye than men of the same age.
- Health conditions: Certain diseases have a higher risk of contributing to dry eyes- such as diabetes or thyroid diseases.
- Medications: Prescription and nonprescription medicines can have dry eye as a side effect.
Visiting The Doctor
Getting an eye exam by an eye doctor is the only way to know for sure you have chronic dry eye syndrome. Symptoms of dry eye can vary significantly from person to person and may even be symptoms of other eye problems. Personal perception of dry eye severity does not indicate whether or not an individual has chronic dry eye syndrome. Some individuals with mild dry eye may feel their eyes are very bothersome, while some individuals with severe dry eye may not consider their symptoms significant.
If you are showing symptoms of dry eye, schedule an appointment with our office as soon as possible. The only way to know the medical severity of your dry eye is through an eye exam.

This past year my business has grown.
The challenge is now we have more to do and how do we get everything done?
All my team members and I have our responsibilities and we’re working at near full capacity. Might be getting close to time to hire again, but that’s for another day.
The biggest bottleneck the past month has been me. It’s hard to admit, but when projects are delayed many times it’s because I didn’t get my part done.
Letting Go Earns Big Returns
A few weeks ago, I decided that it wasn’t working for me. I was working more hours than I wanted and still not keeping up.
I evaluated what I take responsibility for and looked at what I could outsource.
I did most of the implementation in our email and business management program Infusionsoft. It’s a great program but it takes time to get everything set up.
I found a person who knows how to use Infusionsoft and we got started. I sent over the details of what I wanted to do, and he went to work.
Five hours later he was done.
I would have spent 20 hours trying to get this done. And what was more impressive is that it was implemented in a better way than I used in the past.
I have a list of back projects for him to implement so I can focus on what I do best.
Helping Business Grow
What do you keep doing because you’re the only one who can do it?
Most of the time you’re kidding yourself, just like I was.
Once I made up my mind and acted, everything happened in a few days and I now have an outside person who can do more for me.
Assess what you do and then make a list of what you can take off your plate and give to either someone else on your team or to an outside person.
This will give you time to grow your business without working longer hours.
If you are “doing” your Facebook and online marketing work yourself and you want to look into having someone help you with it, schedule a call at www.gosocialexperts.com/callbrian30 and discover how easy it is to work with a team of experts.
Have a great day!

UberEATS Food Photography… Fiasco
As a photographer with a keen eye for detail and an appetite for creativity, I couldn’t help but chuckle at UberEATS’ recent AI-generated food imagery blunder. It’s a tale of technology vs. artistry, where pixels clash with the palate, leading to some hilariously unappetizing results.
UberEATS Food Photography, The AI-Generated Mishap
Recently, UberEATS decided to step into the future with AI-generated images of their menu items. The idea? Cutting-edge, cost-effective, and, presumably, drool-worthy. The reality? A culinary comedy of errors. From ‘lelnach’ dressing (what even is that?) to burgers that resemble abstract art more than actual food, it’s a feast for the eyes – if you’re into surrealism. Read more about this hilarious misadventure on Dexerto and InsideHook. Also, check out the post on X from @realonlineboy
Adobe Firefly: The AI That Gets It Right
On the flip side, Adobe Firefly shows that AI can indeed whip up some realistic, appetizing images. I experimented with this myself, creating four veggie burger images that could easily pass for the real deal. It’s a glimpse into a world where AI can match, and maybe even surpass, human creativity.
The Photographer’s Plight
Here’s where things get personal. As a photographer who’s navigated the demanding world of food photography for delivery services like UberEATS, Takeaway and Deliveroo, I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges and exploitation in the industry. Check out my blog post, “The Flash and Dash of Food Photography”, where I share my experiences and insights.
A Better Way Forward?
Imagine a web app that directly connects photographers like us with delivery services. No more middlemen. Just pure, unadulterated culinary artistry meeting the digital demands of the delivery world. This could be a game-changer, ensuring fair compensation and recognition for our hard work.
Keeping Up with AI
As a photographer, staying ahead means constantly honing our skills and embracing new technologies. I’m always on the lookout for ways to enhance my craft, whether it’s mastering the latest camera techniques or experimenting with AI image generators. It’s a balancing act between staying true to the art and adapting to the ever-evolving digital landscape.
Food Fotography and Delivery Services Future
UberEATS’ AI experiment might have been a flop, but it’s opened up a conversation about the value of authentic food photography. As we move forward, let’s not forget the human touch that makes each dish come alive in a photograph. After all, in a world increasingly dominated by AI, our creativity and passion are what truly set us apart.

Maine, known for its rugged coastline, pristine wilderness, and historic charm, is also home to a vibrant community of architects who blend innovation with the state’s rich cultural and natural tapestry. From coastal cottages to urban revitalization projects, Maine architects have carved out a niche for themselves in the realm of architecture, balancing modern aesthetics with environmental sensitivity.
Honoring Tradition, Embracing Modernity
Maine’s architectural landscape is a testament to its deep-seated respect for tradition and an unwavering embrace of modern design principles. Architects in Maine often draw inspiration from the state’s maritime history, incorporating elements like weathered wood, expansive windows that frame panoramic views of the Atlantic, and sustainable building practices that minimize environmental impact.
Preserving Heritage through Design
In towns like Portland and Bar Harbor, historical preservation is a cornerstone of architectural practice. Maine architects adeptly navigate the delicate balance between preserving the state’s storied past and introducing contemporary functionality. Renovations of historic landmarks and adaptive reuse projects breathe new life into aging structures, ensuring they remain integral parts of Maine’s architectural fabric.
Sustainability at the Forefront
With Maine’s natural beauty as both muse and responsibility, architects prioritize sustainability in their designs. Energy-efficient homes nestled in the pine forests, passive solar design strategies that harness the state’s abundant sunlight, and LEED-certified commercial buildings dot the landscape, showcasing a commitment to environmental stewardship and long-term sustainability.
Beyond residential and commercial projects, Maine architects play a pivotal role in shaping community spaces. Waterfront promenades, public libraries that double as cultural hubs, and innovative educational facilities exemplify their dedication to creating environments that foster connectivity, creativity, and well-being among residents and visitors alike.
Challenges and Innovations
Navigating Maine’s distinct seasonal variations and coastal weather patterns poses challenges that architects meet with innovative solutions. From designing structures resilient to harsh winters to incorporating flood-resistant materials along the coast, Maine architects continually push the boundaries of design while respecting the natural rhythms of their surroundings.
As Maine evolves, so too does its architectural landscape. Architects in the Pine Tree State are poised at the intersection of tradition and innovation, creating spaces that reflect the essence of Maine while embracing future-forward design principles. With each project, they weave narratives that honor the past, celebrate the present, and envision a sustainable future for generations to come.

This is a Frank Garcia designed mini that measures 4.5" x 4.5". It's pre-bound with a very sturdy 2" spine. It's completely made of chipboard, including the pages, so you can really load it up without worrying about anything bending.
Because this is a *little-mini*, I used a 6x6 paper pad to decorate along with some of my favorite Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Halloween/Fall pieces.
After papering the binding, I used a cornstalk from the Fall Shape Set. This set has some great pieces for anything you're working on having to do with the Autumn season including apple picking, pumpkin patches, leaf piles, candy apples and more.
When inking chipboard pieces, I try to ink light in the center and choose a darker color on the edges, adding a bit of contrast. For this piece I used Vintage Photo in the center and brought in some Espresso on the edges of the chip.
On the inside cover, I colored and placed 2 leaves as pockets. The leaves are from the Fall Banner Kit.
Not-so-ordinary pockets were added to the next two pages. The left side uses a swirl from the Flourishes 2 Set. It was inked and then covered with Sparkle & Sprinkle embossing powder. The right page uses a border and corners from the Wrought Iron Set. Simply dab the chipboard with Distress Stain.
What Halloween book is complete without a witch and a tree. This witch comes from the Spooky Shape Set and dabbed with Distress Stain. I used a Branch for the tree and embossed it with Sparkle & Sprinkle embossing powder.
Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts has a super cute border of kids holding hands, all dressed in Halloween costumes. I took that border and made individual kits to use on various pages in the book. All are embossed with sparkly black embossing powder.
And just because it's my favorite season of the year, here's another decoration with a leaf from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts.
Thanks for sticking with me through this rather large little mini. (wink, wink)
See you in a couple of weeks with another Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts project.

The RUF CTR3 Clubsport is an evolution of the standard RUF CTR3. The new package adds extra carbon fiber elements to the fenders, door sills, rear deck lid and roof mounted spoiler.
The RUF CTR3 Clubsport also gets a fixed spoiler. The standard CTR3 has a twinturbocharged 3.8 liter flat six cylinder engine with an output of 700hp at 7,000rpm. The clubsport package adds an extra 50hp for a total of 750hp and 960Nm of torque. This is coupled to a six-speed sequential transmission. The gearing ratio makes 370km/h possible.

Gunpowder Riverkeeper takes a proactive role in safeguarding the watershed from threats to its health and stability through scientific monitoring of the river, engaging at the source to address identified threats. We advocate for stronger enforcement of our laws for clean water in both the Gunpowder and Bush River Watersheds and the Chesapeake Bay, protecting our region for current and future generations.
In partnership with Community Environmental Laboratories, an EPA-certified water testing laboratory located in Harford County, and Harford County Health Department and with outreach to Baltimore County Health Department, Gunpowder Riverkeeper collects water quality samples. We communicate historical and current data to the public on the state of the watershed’s health and stability. Our water monitoring results are posted to Swim Guide and help inform the public on where they can recreate safely along the River as well as indicators for possible stormwater or point-source pollution.
Our sampling tests for E.Coli levels at access points along the Gunpowder and Bush Rivers. The EPA’s Safe Swimming Criteria for Maximum Probable number of E.Coli is set at the threshold of 126 MPN (geometric mean) and 235 (single sample). According to the Maryland Department of the Environment’s brief on the EPA’s water quality criteria, at 126 MPN (geometric mean) and 235 (single sample), it is estimated that 36 individuals out of 1000 swimmers may contract a water-borne gastroenteritis illness.
When our samples indicate E.Coli counts over the EPA’s criteria, it is recommended that the public avoid contact with the water within that area until further sampling is conducted.
Please reference the Gunpowder Riverkeeper Swim Guide map if you’re planning to use an access point along the Gunpowder and Bush Rivers. You can download the Swim Guide app today!
A green icon tells you that the site is safe for swimming according to the EPA Safe Swimming Standard. A red icon tells you the water quality has failed to meet the EPA Safe Swimming Standard at the site during our last sampling collection.

Kevin Bacon says that keeping pigs has made him stop seeing them as, well, bacon.
“I no longer eat goat and I no longer eat pig, because I have goats and I have pigs,” the actor told People in an interview for the magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issue, which was released Friday.
The “Footloose” star and his wife, fellow actor Kyra Sedgwick, own a farm in Connecticut where they have an assortment of animals, including alpacas and Shetland ponies ― one of which has a pesky habit of biting Bacon in the butt.
“I love animals, they are a joy to be around, and they’re very, very calming for me,” he told People.
But though he eschews pork and goat meat, Bacon isn’t fully vegetarian, and it sounds like Sedgwick would like to keep it that way.
“My wife … is like, ‘We can’t get any more animals, because you’re going to stop eating everything,’” he told the magazine.
That said, the two certainly eat their veggies. In 2021, Bacon shared a social media video that showed him making a “(mostly) vegetarian Bolognese” for Sedgwick. And back in 2012, Bacon told Grub Street that the couple’s signature dish to prepare was kale salad. When the food site then asked whether the pair were vegetarian, Bacon replied: “No, but I love kale. Both of us love kale.”

Many of the things she changed a year and a half ago are now firmly in place as part of her daily life
Read here below Ronda's story and watch her video.
Goal: Lose weight and improve heart health
Success: Despite her original thoughts about exercise (she hated it), she now gets to the gym 4-5 times a week with a smile.
Late in 2010, the Heart of New Ulm Project encouraged members of the community to apply to be the next “Face of New Ulm.” In 2011, we will follow the winners who are publicly setting out to improve their lifestyles, root for them to overcome barriers they are sure to face along the way, and celebrate their successes on the road to improved heart health. Ronda is one of the four winners of the casting call.
Last year, Ronda Netzke received a call from The Heart of New Ulm Project’s HeartBeat Connections (HBC) program. HBC is a telephonic coaching program for New Ulm residents at high-risk for having a heart attack. Ronda’s first response upon being contacted was, “I hate to exercise.” However, she made a decision to change her mind and behavior. One of her goals is to get to the gym at least four times a week because she loves how great she feels when she is done with her workouts. Ronda works at New Ulm Medical Center and uses "www.sparkpeople.com", a free website to help track the calories she eats and activity she does each day. The website also provides nutrition information and workout ideas to keep Ronda motivated. This year she hopes to continue her exercise routine and increase her daily servings of fruits and vegetables, both for herself and her family.
April 2012 Update
Ronda Netzke knows that life can be a rollercoaster.
The Heart of New Ulm Project casting call winner is a mom, a wife and an employee. She also plays all those roles that can add stressors to a woman’s daily life: grocery shopper, housekeeper, laundress, etc., etc.
Take all that, throw in a little extra stress here and there, and it’s easy to see how maintaining a healthy eating plan and exercising regularly can be a challenge for anyone.
When Ronda started down her journey to better health in November 2010, one of the first things she did was to monitor her portion sizes. Today, that’s become such an ingrained habit that she rarely thinks about it anymore, she said. So, despite having difficulty with keeping up an exercise routine in recent months, she has managed to keep off the 45 pounds that she’s lost.
Many of the things she changed a year and a half ago are now firmly in place as part of her daily life, Ronda said.
“For example, the way you cook things is important. We adore fish at our house, but I always used to fry it,” she said. “I’ve found some really good fish recipes that don’t include frying that even Megan (her 10-year-old daughter) likes.”
And her daughter’s endorsement is important, Ronda said. “I’ve noticed a little ripple effect in some of the choices that Megan makes. I know that my positive choices affect her.”
Other things that have become habit for Ronda are simple choices like choosing a lettuce salad instead of a potato salad or French fries as a side dish. “That’s the easy part for me. I always make a vegetable with every meal. That makes it easy to remember to get enough vegetables every day.”
The part she struggles with is the motivation to exercise each day, she said. But now that spring has sprung and summer is around the corner, she’s confident that it will be easier to at least get out and walk on a regular basis.
“I feel awesome,” said Ronda. “People have commented on old pictures of me that it doesn’t even look like me anymore. That’s motivational for me. I know I’m heading in the right direction.”
And that motivation breeds enthusiasm for new goals and recognition of all those she’s already reached.

Coming off of a 11-5 season and a playoff berth with three different staring quarterbacks, the Arizona Cardinals have a lot to be happy about. However, there still is some needs that they need to address to help the Cardinals further their position as possible Super Bowl contenders.
Let’s take a look.
Tight End: Rob Housler is the odd man out
Housler has been a major disappointment, even though he had the potential to become a solid receiver as a tight end with a lot of speed. He’s had a ton of dropped passes, along with failing to hang tough and hold on to balls in which he is hit on the play. Housler also is not a very good blocker.
Four years later, Arizona knows what it has with Housler. He’s had a lot of opportunities to show improvement, but he hasn’t done so.
Darren Fells is a gifted 6-foot-7, 281 pound tight end who is a good end zone threat with his size and has contributed to the running game a lot for the Cardinals. He would be a solid guy to keep around for another year if he can win back his job at training camp.
Defensive End: Re-sign Tommy Kelly, Darnell Dockett released
Dockett, coming off a torn ACL last training camp and turning 34-years old in the month of May, may be leaving if he does not agree to a pay cut. 2014 draftees Ed Stinson and Kareem Martin will be Dockett’s replacements eventually.
Kelly will most likely be re-signed after a solid 2014 campaign as a very good run stopper.
Ted Ginn gone
Last season was a disappointing campaign for Ginn as he had a number of fair catches when he had plenty of room to return punts, which may determine his fate. The emergence of receiver John Brown is also a good season to get rid of Ginn.
As for a new punt returner in that scenario, cornerback Patrick Peterson and Brown would be good candidates to return punts.
Quarterback: Ryan Lindley gone, Third-string quarterback a question mark
Lindley’s failure to perform at a sustainable level sealed his fate. Drew Stanton will still be the backup and starting quarterback Carson Palmer, who tore his ACL against the Rams during November, has hoped that he would be ready in time for minicamp.
Linebacker: Add another pass rusher in the draft
Arizona failed to get much of a pass rush when outside linebacker John Abraham was placed on the injured reserve. Sam Acho, who excels in the run, is a free agent. Alex Okafor had eight sacks in his second season last year. Marcus Benard will most likely be cut if Arizona re-signs Acho.
Cromartie, a free agent corner with 31 career interceptions, might not be back, leaving the door for young special-teams star Bethel and Powers to replace him at corner.
Jonathan Cooper should be ready to start at left guard, leaving the right guard spot open for competition. Fanaika, Larsen and Watford are all candidates to start and earn the other backup spot. Whoever is not the backup or the starter at right guard will be cut.
Larsen, who can also back up Lyle Sendlein at center, is very versatile from a depth perspective.
Taylor and Williams both had their moments last season. Ellington, the starter, should excel with more time to recover from his injuries.
Overall, with a young group of running backs and better play from the interior linemen with the return of Cooper, I like the promise of the run game next year.
The return from injuries and suspensions to valuable contributors such as Palmer, Cooper, Ellington and Washington will only help the Cardinals. This is the same team that started 9-1, beat the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Detroit Lions.
I see Arizona as a good story line next year if Larry Fitzgerald can come back for one last shot to win a Super Bowl in a Cardinals uniform.

Five Easy Ways to Save Energy at Home
This October, the Marine Corps and its families are celebrating Energy Action Month, a federal program that promotes energy and water efficient behavior. This month is the perfect time to develop new energy habits that you can practice year-round. Here are five easy ways to start saving energy and money today:
1. Use a combination of blinds, curtains and ceiling fans to help control the temperature of a room.
During the summer, close blinds and curtains when the sun is shining in to help keep your home cool. In the winter, leave your windows exposed to allow sunlight to naturally heat your home. This will reduce the amount of energy your heater or air conditioner will need to use to keep you comfortable. Ceiling fans rotating counter-clockwise in the summer can also make you feel three to four degrees cooler – just remember to turn them off when you leave the room as fans only cool people, not rooms.
2. Save water and electricity by washing your dishes more efficiently.
Most of the energy needed to run your dishwasher is used by its heating element. Save energy by turning off the heated dry cycle, allowing your dishes to air dry. Stop rinsing your money down the drain by pre-soaking or rinsing your dishes – simply scrape off the leftover food before placing your dishes in the dishwasher. If you need a certain dish now but your dishwasher isn’t full, don’t run the load, just hand wash – but be sure to only run water when rinsing. Running half-full dishwashers is a waste of water and electricity.
3. Ensure windows and doors are closed when using heat or A/C – and that they aren’t leaking.
Heating and cooling uses the most energy of any system in your home, and it’s the most expensive – about half of your utility bill. When you are using heat or air conditioning, make sure all of your windows and doors are closed so that the treated air doesn’t flow out, taking your money with it. Check all windows and doors for possible leaks by feeling for drafts. If a leak is detected, it can most likely be sealed – contact your appropriate housing maintenance personnel.
4. Wash your clothes only when there is a full load, and always use cold or warm water.
Washing clothes in cold or warm water with a cold-water detergent uses half as much energy as washing them in hot water. You can also easily save energy by only running your washer when you have a full load of laundry, or by air-drying small loads on a drying rack in place of your dryer. Not only will you save energy, but you will also reduce the wear and tear on your clothes.
5. Replace traditional incandescent lightbulbs with light emitting diodes (LEDs) or compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) .
How many Marines does it take to change a lightbulb? We’re guessing just one – but that’s not what’s important. On average, LEDs last about 25 times as long as incandescent lightbulbs while using less than a quarter of the energy to produce the same amount of light. Your next most efficient option is a CFL – they also use much less energy than traditional lightbulbs, pay for themselves in nine months, and last about 10 times as long. Head to your local MCX to pick up new bulbs.
Now that you’ve reduced your energy bill, why not tackle other areas of your budget? The Personal Financial Management Program offers workshops and seminars on more than twenty money management topics. To contact your local Personal Financial Management Program office and find a workshop near you, click here.

The Ambassador in Japan (Grew) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 5—5:31 p.m.]
948. The Foreign Minister asked me to come this afternoon to his private residence informally and alone “for a cup of tea” and for two hours and a quarter he talked on a variety of subjects. His discourse was largely of a historical and philosophical nature but outstanding points will be reported in separate telegrams tonight and tomorrow.10 At the commencement of the talk Mr. Matsuoka communicated [Page 172] orally in English and handed to me the Japanese text of “a statement to the United States concerning the three-power alliance” of which our translation follows.
“A statement to the United States concerning the three-power alliance.
The recent three-power alliance is not aimed at any particular country. If Japan, Germany and Italy unite, the probability of being attacked by another country is decreased, the spreading of world disorder may be prevented, and in this sense the alliance contributes to world peace. By this treaty Japan has further clarified its intention to establish a new order in greater East Asia including the South Seas.
The construction of a new order in East Asia means the construction of a new order under which Japan establishes the relationship of common existence and mutual prosperity with the peoples of each and every land in greater East Asia, that is East Asia including the South Seas. In a position of equality with every other country, Japan may freely carry on enterprises, trade and emigration in and to each and every land in greater East Asia and thereby be enabled to solve its population problem. This does not mean these areas are to be exploited and conquered, nor does it mean these areas are to be closed to the trade and enterprises of other countries. Japan has long tried to solve its population problem through emigration, trade and enterprises abroad, but the various countries of Europe and America have nullified Japan’s reasonable and peaceful efforts concerning its population problem since those countries have turned back Japanese immigrants to their great territories and have obstructed trade and enterprise.
In the greater East Asia sphere of mutual prosperity, the endeavor is being made to abolish such unnatural restrictions on the free activities of mankind. It is expected that this endeavor will be accomplished insofar as possible through peaceful means and with the least possible undesirable change in the status quo.
Japan’s policy toward China forms an important part of the above endeavor. However, owing to the lack of understanding on the part of some Chinese people and to the attitude taken by England and the United States in not recognizing Manchukuo, which gave rise to Chiang Kai-shek’s hope of recovering Manchukuo, an unfortunate clash of arms broke out. This clash is, in fact, war and therefore it is impossible for the Japanese Army during its activities to avoid affecting rights and interests of the powers in China. This is particularly true when such rights and interests hinder the prosecution of Japan’s war against China. Accordingly, if the effects upon these rights and interests are to be brought to an end, it is most desirable to encourage and promote peace between Japan and China. This fact notwithstanding the powers are not only checking Japan’s actions through legalistic arguments and treaty pronouncements which have become inapplicable because of changing conditions, but are also oppressing Japan through such means as restriction on the exportation of important commodities to Japan and at the same time are giving positive aid to Japan’s enemy, the Chiang Kai-shek regime. These actions spring from hidden motives to keep the Orient under conditions [Page 173] of disorder as long as possible and to consume Japan’s national strength. We must believe that these actions are not for the love of peace and are not for the purpose of protecting rights and interests. Japan concluded a defensive alliance with Germany and Italy for no other purpose than to resist such pressure from the powers, and there is not the slightest intention to proceed to attack another country. If the United States understands the aforementioned conditions and circumstances and Japan’s intentions with regard to the establishment of a new order in East Asia, there will be no change whatever in the relationship between Japan and the United States following the conclusion of this treaty. Japan is determined to settle all pending question; 5 and to promote and foster friendship with the United States.”

During Brussels Gallery Weekend 2021, Harlan Levey Projects proudly presents Running in Circles III / Movement and Politics In The Streets Of My City, Jeroen Jongeleen's third solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibition will extend between both of the gallery's Brussels venues.
Building on influences from Futurism to Fluxus and the Situationist International, Jongeleen turns against consumerism and over-regulated society by interrupting public space through ephemeral interventions and actions. Utilizing means and visual forms associated with guerrilla protest - graffiti, stickers, placard cut-outs, tape, trash, appropriated texts, though first and foremost his body - his interventions draw attention to a particular form of militant activism while questioning the nature, value and transformative potential of artistic production in society. He leaves traces in the urban landscape which he subsequently documents with photographs and films. With these repetitive interventions, the artist promotes the free use of urban public space and questions the way corporate influence, advertising, architecture and public policy limit and direct a citizens' behavior. Jongeleen describes his motivation to create art as not about 'decoration or making people happy, but about free speech and movement, about opposition as the essence of a truly vibrant democratic society'. His politically motivated work therefore sets out to illustrate the power and the dynamics of the public space, while offering a utopian vision for the potential citizen user of tomorrow.

My son Jett, a Syracuse senior, saw Paranormal Activity tonight and sent along the following as soon as he got home: “I’m not a horror fan, and certainly not by present-day standards with torture porn, decapitation and brutal rape repping the norm. Paranormal Activity, on the other hand, does so much less and scares you so much more.
“I saw it tonight with my buddy Ryan at the Carousel Mall in Syracuse, NY. The mall was packed with kids and a huge line was wrapped around the corner. It was obvious what movie everyone came to see. I was impressed because this film was strictly promoted off viral campaigning and word-of-mouth. You’d think people were lining up to see New Moon.
“It’s basically about a couple based in San Diego. The narrative is built around the girl, Katie, who has a long history of ghost encounters since she was a kid. The boyfriend decides to document the ensuing nights on tape. We’re led to believe because the boyfriend is such a douchebag by taunting Katie’s demon that the demon encounters get worse and worse.
“The film is a constant build-up that starts with creaking doors and pounding footsteps and ends with bite marks and broken mirrors. The structure is repetitive by rotating the day and night scenes. In daylight the couple just reflects on what happened the previous night and how they can get rid of the demon, but when night falls everyone in the audience curls up, expecting the encounters to only get worse.
“Each night the demon does something different and more brutal. Towards the end even the macho guys sitting behind us were moaning ike nancy boys. The fear is so intense, it’s suffocating. You’re left guessing what will happen in the end, and in the end, you’ll still be wrong. You’re left speechless and reluctant to go to sleep. Even as I write this, I’m not so sure I’ll get even three hours.
“As Ryan and I left the theatre, the mall was even more of a madhouse. Hundreds of teens and college kids were lining up for the next showing. They were asking us, ‘Was it scary?’ Yes, it was — the scariest movie I’ve ever seen.

Collector’s House by Vemworks Architects
Collector’s House is pop-surrealist home recently designed by Vemworks Architects is located in Italy.
The design for this pop-surrealist house was born from the passion of the owner for collecting art pieces, this had to be made to coexist with the classic soul of the building where it is located. This exigence originated a push for creating a unicum, an ambiance, where the two very different souls of the project could exist in harmony. The pivotal point of this conception of duality is the large mural manga post-pop realized by Tomoko Nagao atop of the stairwell that both creates tension and strikes a balance with the architectural space and the objects that populate the house.

Hey there Fabulous, Radiant, Brilliant, Visionary, Caring One,
I don’t know if you get as many emails as I do. I’m on a lot of lists.
And today, this sweet, quiet Friday after American Thanksgiving, my “in-box” is full of strident attention seeking subject lines all about this damn “Black Friday” thing.
WTF? It’s actually mass hypnosis. And not pretty. Kind of “Icky” actually.
The frenzy of sales for stuff that we probably don’t even need. The people waking up early and waiting in line to get all their “bargains”. People wrestling in the aisle for some stupid toy that the manufacturers purposely didn’t make enough of and advertised the hell out of so that they would create false scarcity or “demand”. Yuck. Blecch!
Time to interrupt the pattern, the program the ROUTINE!
I’d like to share this short video with you as a little tiny antidote to the insanity.
I hereby nominate Lufefe Nomjana, the Spinach King of South Africa for lifetime membership in the Transformation Nation because he is actually transforming the world. Let’s all do our little part to do the same in some small way in our own small backyards or wherever…
I am so filled with love and compassion for you today my friend. This man so clearly changed his thinking, focuses his mind on his Massive Throbbing Vision for his Life, his Path With Heart, that I want you to see it, feel it, hear it’s message for you in your life.
There is great power in life affirming ideas. There is great transformational power in taking action, step by step towards your worthy goal or purpose.
When everybody else is “zigging”, then perhaps it’s time for us to “Zag.”
Take time to love yourself today enough to begin to write and tell a new story for you.
All the best!

Shelby's Social Diary
Holocaust Museum Houston brings in $1.1 million at LBJ Moral Courage Award dinner
In its continuing tradition of recognizing those who have exhibited either a lifetime of morally courageous behavior or one momentous righteous act, Holocaust Museum Houston presented its Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award to French Catholic priest Patrick Desbois for his dedication to confronting antisemitism.
The man who uncovered more than 800 hidden mass graves of Jews and Roma killed during the Holocaust was honored before a gathering of more than 920 at the annual dinner, which was held at the Hilton-Americas Houston. Desbois is president of Paris-based Yahad-In Unum, the leading research organization investigating the mass executions that occurred between 1941 and 1944.
Keynote speaker was former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who received a standing ovation even before she began her remarks on the horrors of genocide and the importance of the United States' role in both stopping and preventing it.
Chaired by Barbara and Michael Gamson, the evening raised $1.1 million for the museum's educational programs on the dangers of hatred, prejudice and apathy and for its free admission program.
The evening was a poignant moment for outgoing executive director Susan Myers, as the dinner marked her last official day on the job after 15 year at the museum's helm.
The VIP gathering included HMH chair Tali Blumrosen and husband Eric, incoming chair Mark Mucasey and wife Judy, Holocaust survivor Bill Morgan and wife Shirley, Fred Zeidman, Joyce and Arthur Schechter, Mayor Annise Parker, Harris County Attorney Vince Ryan, Archbishop Emeritus Joseph Fiorenza, Rabbi Brian Strauss, Velva and Fred Levine and Eric and Noyland Pulaski.

12 Mar The vision requirements a future cabin crew must meet
Because we’ve received so many emails regarding the vision requirements a future cabin crew must meet, I’ve decided to write this article with the information you need to know.
According to the requirements imposed by most airlines, as long as your diopters are between +/- 4 and in some cases +/- 5 (depending on the airline company) you have every chance of becoming a cabin crew. However, if your diopters are higher that specified, you won’t be able to pass the eye test and work within the field.
The ISHIHARA Eye Test
Many companies test their future cabin crew to make sure they meet the vision requirements. The most common eye test is the Ishihara, which is a test of color and visual acuity. Dr. Shinobu designed the test in 1917, and it’s the easier way to detect color blindness.
*** important: if you’re planning a corrective eye surgery, be sure you do it at least six months before the interview.
Glasses vs. Contact Lenses
Both forms of vision correction are accepted by most airlines, but you must remember to always have an extra pair of glasses/ set of contact lenses with you. You might need them in case of emergency.

this New Year’s Eve I’m sure many HPANWO-readers will be looking for ways to
eat, drink and make merry to toast in 2013. In doing so it has become and
unfortunate necessity to avoid being taken in by perfectly legal acts of fraud
like the one I discovered a few months ago; see:
for an important background article: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/fake-wine.html
And it’s happened again! This time with this bottle you see me holding above.
It looks like a bottle of Champagne; it has a silvery metallic covering and even
has the word “Champagne” on the label. What’s more it’s an absolute snip at £4.99.
that the price looked too good to be true; why did I forget the second half of
that old maxim?: “So what made you think it would not be?” The
word on the label is actually “Charlemagne” not “Champagne”, but with the
handwritten, cursive style of the lettering the two words are fairly hard to
distinguish. As I say in the article linked above I think this is deliberate.
Charlemagne is actually not any kind of wine; it’s a perry, what is usually
called today “pear cider”. Its alcohol content is a mere 5%, far lower than
Champagne, and although this is a big 1.5 litre bottle it might not be enough on
its own to spark off the New Year joviality.
my previous experience I’m forewarned and forearmed, but it’s important to
realize that the manufacturers of Charlemagne
Perry are not actually breaking any rules. You can bet that they
had it thoroughly checked by a lawyer before selling it. However this is one of
those all too familiar cases in our society in which something bad is done,
while holding itself away from the borderline beyond which things are
officially labeled “bad”, by using legal loopholes. Red tape and acres of
Byzantine small print turn black into white and up into down. The marketing aim
of Charlemagne Perry is to make their product look like Champagne. They’re
counting on getting in a lot of sales they would not otherwise make from people
buying a bottle under the misapprehension that they are buying a bottle of
Champagne, and patting themselves on the back for picking one up so cheaply, no
doubt. A lot of those people are going to be much more vulnerable than a
certain big, tough old ex-Hospital Porter you might have heard of.
I suppose the answer a lot of people will give me is:
“Serve them right for not being on their guard! They should have checked the
label. More fool them! They’ll know better next time.” I must be in a minority
in that I’m concerned that trickery seems to be the normal way to do business
nowadays. It shows a great deal of contempt for their potential customers for
Charlemagne Perry’s manufacturers to do what they did. “But so what? It’s a
dog-eat-dog world, Man!”, as we’re so often told. It also worries me that the
ethics of conventional society are changing; the victims of trickery are
more likely to be blamed than the perpetrators. If some old lady, a blind person
or somebody else vulnerable buys a bottle of this stuff thinking that it’s
Champagne then they are to blame for allowing themselves to be fooled.
The one doing the fooling is morally A-OK! I find it sad that fairness, trust,
honest trade and respect for human dignity and sovereignty have become so
marginalized and outmoded. These lamented attitudes are seen by most people as
rather quaint and naïve. To believe in them marks you out as weak and

Hi there ;-). Today, I would like to go over it. I have almost finished 2024, which has been difficult for me for a year, even if it does not end up. So, first things first, I would like to say hi to someone dear to my heart with the below picture. But I promise to protect her privacy. So I only want to say Thank you! ;-).
Returning to the conclusion, what do you think about today’s post? About motivation! To be, work, feel, discover, fight, and live each day as the effect of your last! Many people saw me singing, but only one person criticized me each time and even told me I put on LN-IN my signing, and nobody ever hired me… well. The rest of my friends from social media are primarily quiet about that singing hobby.
I have a horrible voice and no vocal talent, but it is about looking for fun and motivation. This year, I faced many real Taft moments. I even told a few people it was a waste for many reasons. I want to finish with the best song I have ever heard, but I will avoid trying to sing it because of my horrible voice and mastery of Perry Como! All the best for 2025!
P.S. Yesterday, I finished the 2nd year of my interdisciplinary Ph.D. project from a coding perspective. I can now focus on writing about solutions I put in place at iChess.io. Enjoy! ;-).

Magic. Memories. Teaching. Learning. And more memories. We enjoyed a great night of all of these when retired magic dealer from Washington, DC, Al Cohen came to speak to us. This gentleman of magic shared his years of working the counter at his magic shop only blocks from the White House, as well as his love of doing and sharing magic.
I literally got writer’s cramp from trying to just list the effects that he performed and taught over a two hour period. Al told us how he first went to work in a dealers’ room at a magic convention. He spent the whole time watching some of the old master dealers selling their effects. Over time, he developed into one of the best demonstrators out there. “The key is to do the tricks over and over. You work out the bugs, and know the trick inside and out,” Al said.
Where to begin? Some of the highlights were his handling of the vanishing wand, a Six Card repeat with patter inspired by Senator Clark Crandall, and a super move to use during the Appearing Cane.
Al next talked about being able to perform magic at the dinner table, with absolutely no preparation or props other that what was on the table. He showed how to use a fork as a gimmick for a Glorpy-type effect, and a zombie-type levitation with a dinner roll.
Al masterfully demonstrated many effects using a thumb tip, matches, Styrofoam cups and tooth picks. A lot of the magic he shared can be done with simple items from a dollar store.
Al Cohen also related how he sometimes got an effect from a wholesaler, and developed a new routine for it, and had huge sales results. He told us about the Multiplying Bananas, and how he wore out the guys who were making the items for him with the orders!
Al’s magic and outlook on sharing magic with any audience gave us all a lot of ideas for our own magic. This is a lecture and demonstration worth booking.

Dating sites with eastern europeans
Long, brilliant, healthy women hair is very attractive for men from different countries.Not sophisticated hairdos, but just straight native hair.Nothing is eternal in our lives and love – especially.People, who once have failed in love, are looking for a new one more cautiously.Their appearance is characterized by some features.Narrowly planted eyes - this is one of the main plus of the girls of Asian appearance.
They understand that there is something else apart from the physical world and they do not need proofs and logical justifications for this fact.
Asian brides pay attention to what they eat and drink.
For example, they don’t drink cold water, because it makes them fat, that is why they prefer hot drinks and herbal tea.
According to the results of sociological research in Facebook and on dating sites, in recent years in the whole civilized world, men prefer to get acquainted with Asians more often than with representatives of other nationalities.
Psychologists and ethnographers explain such a phenomenon of popularity of Asian women by the fact that those in the majority maintained their adherence to patriarchal relations.
Asian wife will never allow herself to humiliate her husband.

System Mania is an arcade game that borrows liberally from the ever-popular resource management genre. Instead of serving food to customers, however, you spend your time fixing their strange contraptions by turning off warning lights as they appear. The fate of Fiona's growing fix-it shop is in your fast-clicking fingertips, so pull levers, spin wheels, and flip switches as quickly as possible.
At the outset, Fiona is fortunate enough to get fired from a job she hates. She decides to follow her dream and open up a tech support shop, receiving calls from local businesses to fix their strange machines. Each contraption is a completely different setup than the last. Your simple goal is to attend to the lights as they appear. Sometimes a simple button press is all you'll need to do, while other times you'll have to spin a wheel, pull a lever, yank a cord, and more. The variety of things you'll do across the game's 90 levels goes a long way to making System Mania fun.
Clicking buttons and switches in a sequence or getting to them ASAP often earns you bonus points and cash. Between some levels you can use your money to buy upgrades. Apart from the main story mode, System Mania also offers an arcade mode to let you deal with machines one at a time. And your trophy room begs to be filled by completing challenge levels.
Analysis: My knee-jerk reaction when I saw this game's title was to dismiss it as yet another time management clone. But System Mania is different, it doesn't fall in the same traps every other "mania" title succumbs to, and instead I found a pleasantly unique arcade game with playful visuals and creativity spilling out of every seam. The machines themselves are always inventive, and I love scratching my head and trying to figure out how this collection of levers and switches can be a Dough Twister. The assemblies often feel like a Rube Goldberg.
System Mania is a great reflex-based arcade game with just a few resource management ideas sewn in on the side. There's a lot of twitch-type clicking involved, not as much strategy or planning, but the creative direction and light-hearted gameplay make it a blast to play.

Adil Hussain says he regrets acting in ‘Kabir Singh’, walked out of the hall in 20 min
Sandeep Reddy Vanga's "Kabir Singh", which starred Shahid Kapoor in the lead role, defied criticism for its misogynistic content and emerged as a box office hit. In the years since the film's release, discourse around it has refused to die down, and now, actor Adil Hussain has said that it's the only film in his career that he regrets being a part of.
In an appearance on the YouTube channel AP Podcast, Adil admitted that he agreed to do the film without reading the script first. He said, "That's the only film in my life that I have done without reading the script, without seeing the movie which it is based on."
Adil said that he went to watch the film in a theatre after the release and walked out in 20 minutes. "I regret it till today. The only movie I have regretted doing is that film… 'Kabir Singh'," he said.
Adil said that "Kabir Singh" is a "misogynist" film that made him "feel small as a human being." Speaking about director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Adil said that everyone has the right to make the kind of film they want to, but that doesn't mean he has to agree with them. "I think a film like this celebrates something which is not beneficial for society. It legitimises male misogyny. It legitimises violence against anybody for that matter, doesn't have to be a woman. And it celebrates it, it glorifies it and it should not be glorified," he said.
Adil said that he initially refused to be a part of the film because of time constraints. Later, when the makers sent him his scene, he asked for the full script, but they sent him Arjun Reddy, the Telugu film that was adapted by "Kabir Singh". Adil did not get the time to watch it, so he told his manager to ask for an exorbitant amount of money, hoping that the makers would refuse to cast him, but that didn't happen either. "I told my manager to ask them for a good amount of remuneration and they would say no but surprisingly, they agreed. So, I went on and did it and I liked the scene. The scene I did was a good scene so I thought the film was also going to be good. But when I went to watch the film, I thought what was I doing here? You have no idea how I felt. I felt so embarrassed," he shared.
Adil said that he is mortified at the thought of his wife watching the film. "She would be so angry if she saw this," he said. In the same conversation, Adil said that he has not seen "Animal", so he does not wish to comment on the film. Adil played the role of Shahid Kapoor's college professor in the film.

How to Do Bookkeeping: Basics Every Small Business Owner Needs to Know
It’s more a matter of preference for you and your team going forward. If you’re a small-business owner, you’re probably used to What is the Difference Between Bookkeeping and Accounting doing everything yourself. You’ve used your entrepreneurial prowess to produce a product or service that your customers need.
What are the 3 basic bookkeeping practices principles?
- Principles of Bookkeeping.
- Revenue Principle.
- Expense Principle.
- Matching Principle.
- Cost Principle.
- Objectivity Principle.
Under double-entry bookkeeping, all transactions are entered into a journal, and then each item is entered into the general ledger twice, as both a debit and a credit. If someone is watching to make sure your invoices actually get paid, or paying your bills early to take advantage of discounts for https://adprun.net/small-business-accounting-101-12-steps-for-basics/ doing so, you could very well wind up ahead of the game. This is especially true if the time you don’t have to spend on bookkeeping will free you up for a better sales effort or to be more productive in other ways. You don’t have to do everything yourself, and sometimes it’s smarter not to.
Where to start
At year-end, accountants can pull the necessary reports from Wave to prepare a business’s tax return. In most cases, asset and expense accounts increase with each debit entry. In most cases, liability and revenue accounts increase with a credit entry.
You can also use apps like Shoeboxed, which are specifically made for receipt tracking. You could go with one of dozens of popular cloud accounting solutions, like QuickBooks, Xero or Wave. However, if you don’t have a lot of bookkeeping experience (or don’t have time to learn), they could stress you out more than they help you. Especially if your accountant ends up telling you you’ve been using them incorrectly for the past year.

Plus, they can offer expert knowledge and an objective assessment of how your business is doing. The main difference between the four plans is the number of different clients that can be billed per month. Scan and attach receipts to a transaction to eliminate paper files and stay organized for tax season.
- As your business grows, you might wish to hire either a full-time or part-time, in-house or outsourced bookkeeper to organize transactions, payroll, payments to vendors, and other tasks.
- If you’re not already using an accounting software service like Quickbooks or Xero, it’s time to get started.
- Making sure transactions are properly assigned to accounts gives you the best view of your business and helps you extract the most helpful reports from your bookkeeping software.
- The accrual basis accounting method is based on when revenues are earned, rather than received.
- Consider using one of the best bookkeeping services to make managing your books a breeze.
- For product-based small businesses, Plus will have more options for inventory and customizations.

When you’re stuck in the minutiae of reconciling your transactions, this won’t feel like “seven easy steps”. Loans from $5,000 – $100,000 with transparent terms and no prepayment penalty.

This article lists the interactions between Knife and Suitcase.
Knife and Suitcase were both on the Grand Slams, but only had select interactions throughout most of season 2. They did not have a strongly defined relationship until Truth or Flare. In it, they voiced their mutual respect and support of each other that had only been briefly shown before then, at best. Despite being very different and competing against each other in the finale, Knife and Suitcase seem to generally be on good terms.
In Cooking for the Grater Good, Suitcase congratulates Knife for being safe. He expected ridicule, but thanked her in surprise.
In Kick the Bucket, Knife sees Suitcase laying by the dock and talks to her about her alliance. He wonders why she would put up with Nickel's nonsense, believing that she's been set up by Nickel into losing the challenge and making both her and Balloon look bad. Knife then tells her to "make [her] presence known." Despite the two of them not exactly understanding each other's view points, Suitcase follows this advice and votes for Nickel in the elimination, standing up for herself and accidentally getting him eliminated.
In Truth or Flare, Knife takes the InvisiBow off of Suitcase when she begins to hyperventilate. Suitcase and Knife, alongside the other two remaining contestants, have a brief disagreement on what to do about the serious events they experienced throughout the season.
When Suitcase talks about her hallucinations during the challenge, Knife, like everyone else, is concerned for her.
Though Suitcase loses some trust in Knife from his justification of murder and knowing about Taco's involvement in the season, she still chooses him over Baseball to compete with her. She states that him telling her to make her presence known gave her strength, and she realized that's what an alliance is to her, affirming her view of Knife as an ally.
In The Reality of the Situation, they share a lot of friendly conversation. Suitcase vents to Knife about Balloon and Nickel suddenly getting along despite how they acted when she last saw them. She later expresses her discontent with the others seemingly moving on from everything that happened in the season, and Knife tells her she's giving them too much power.
In Through No Choice of Your Own when they are about to be deleted due to the deactivation of Me, Knife puts his hand on Suitcase's head and smiles at her, most likely to comfort her before they were going to die.
At the end of Objects in Mirror, Suitcase checks on Knife and reads Balloon’s poem to him. When Suitcase begins to hallucinate, Knife waves at her to calm her down.
In Let 'Er R.I.P., Knife scares Suitcase and Balloon when he comments that they saw a ghost; Knife states he's messing with them, and when Suitcase points out that the challenge is not to be scared, he comments on Suitcase sticking with the person who was "so trustworthy" last season.
In Everything's A-OJ, Suitcase suggests Knife try a random act of kindness for his reputation, but Knife gets mad, feeling like everyone's trying to change him. He then picks Suitcase up telling her to mind her own business.

NEW DELHI: Coronil has been awarded the CoPP licence as per WHO-GMP. Dr Harsh Vardhan didn’t endorse any ayurvedic medicine, neither, did he undermine the modern medicines, said Acharya Balkrishna, General Secretary, Patanjali Research Foundation Trust, Haridwar over IMA on Coronil.
A press release from Patanjali Research Foundation Trust read, “Patanjali Research Foundation Trust, Haridwar is appalled by the press release issued by the officials of the Indian Medical Association, on CORONIL. It is disheartening to observe the lack of understanding of scientific research concepts by such well trained doctors.”
“In the press conference held on February 19, 2021, honourable Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan jee communicated about the integration of Ayurveda with the national healthcare system, which was in-line with recent initiatives of WHO, as stated by Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus.
Our honourable Health Minister never undermined modern medicine, rather his presence in the vent showed his sincere efforts as a health minister to provide acceptability to another form of medical systems. We cannot help but observe that remarks made by officials of IMA (Indian Medical Association) were uncalled for to the state the very least, rather than reflecting sincere concerns for the holding of certain medical beliefs,” the press release read.
Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan had said, “Ayurveda has Rs 30,000 Cr economy in India. As per official data, it used to see a growth of 15-20% every yr pre-COVID. Post-COVID, this growth rate has risen to 50-90%. It’s an indication that people have accepted it. There’s marked improvement in exports & FDI.”
In Delhi, Yog Guru Ramdev released a scientific research paper on the ‘first evidence-based medicine for COVID19 by Patanjali’. Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari were also present at the event.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Monday demanded an explanation from Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan for promoting Patanjali’s Coronil Ayurvedic medicine. “Being a Health Minister of the country, how justified is it to release such falsely fabricated unscientific product to people of the whole country and how ethical is it to promote the product in unethical, wrong and false ways,” said Dr Jayalal, IMA national president.
“Let us not adulterate Ayurveda on the pretext of market gain to some monopoly corporate and create a disaster for humanity,” IMA said. IMA in the statement also said that it will write to National Medical Commission for seeking Suo moto explanation for the blatant disrespect to the code of conduct of the Medical Council of India.
As per the code of act of the Medical Council of India, it is unethical to promote any drug or to prescribe it without knowing its composition. “It was claimed by Baba Ramdev along with Health Minister that the said Coronil Ayurvedic medicine has got WHO certification. This has been clearly denied by WHO in an official tweet. The said false and fabricated projection of an unscientific medicine by the Health Minister to the entire country and being rejected by WHO is a slap and insult to the people of the country,” IMA statement reads.
The World Health Organization (WHO), however, clarified in a tweet that it has not reviewed or certified the efficacy of Patanjali’s Covid-19. WHO’s the regional office for South-East Asia posted on its official Twitter handle, “@WHO has not reviewed or certified the effectiveness of any traditional medicine for the treatment #Covidl9.”
IMA also sought clarification on clinical trials from the health ministry. “Being a Health Minister of the country and a modern medicine doctor, can you clarify the scientific results of the clinical trials, if any, for the so-called clinical trial of this said anti-corona product promoted by you?” it asked.
Founder of Patanjali Ayurved Limited Baba Ramdev launched Coronil, a medicine which he claims is the first evidence-based medicine for Covid-19.
Baba Ramdev also said this so-called Coronil to be used for prevention, treatment as well as post-Covid phase treatment. It was mentioned that the said medicine is the first evidence-based medicine. (ANI)

This post was originally posted on The Logistics Broker and was written by Joe Oliaro.
Hyperlocal online retail businesses are popping up in dense urban areas all over the world. I’ve been calling it the “mom and pop” reaction to big online retail firms. In this post, I’m going to breakdown what a hyperlocal eCommerce business is and what we can expect to see in the next couple years.
What do you mean by hyperlocal eCommerce?
A hyperlocal eCommerce business provides goods and services for locally sourced, produced and designed goods. Think food, medicine, consumer goods, retail products and services that are valued on convenience. One distinct characteristic that sets a hyperlocal business apart from a large retailer is that the entire supply chain is located in close proximity to the buyer and the seller.
So, even though the local coffee shop 5 blocks away doesn’t deliver, “Joe Blow” on Postmates, UberEats or a more localized service will bring coffee right to your office or couch for a nominal fee. Why not have the hyperlocal business pick up windshield wipers for you from AutoZone for a few extra bucks; binder clips from Office Max?
The hyperlocal business operates within a local proximity to high population and retail density. Consequently, a dependent subset supply chain is created to appeal to the “on-demand” consumer. In essence, the hyperlocal supply chain is “piggy backing” on what the larger brick and mortar retailers have in stock already.
What is the attraction to hyperlocal?
Speed. Hyperlocal businesses can deliver products and services faster than larger online retailers. Hyperlocal food delivery time is already less than an hour on average. Products you would normally have to order by a certain time to receive next day service are now available to you within a matter of hours. Additionally, most of these deliveries are based on your exact vicinity and not solely reliant on a street address.
Trust. The consumer is put in a position where they can see and understand all the steps of the supply chain from purchase to sourcing to delivery. Consumers know where the product is made and most likely who will be delivering it to them. The hyperlocal businesses have a huge incentive to capture and retain customers by building that trust and enhancing overall customer experience. In layman’s terms, the meat tastes better when you know the butcher and the butcher knows your cut. Word of mouth will be a key component for hyperlocal business success in their niche communities.
The rules of hyperlocal ecommerce businesses are still being written. As we see changes to urban landscape and infrastructure, it will become easier for larger eCommerce retailers to compete with the hyperlocal groups of today. Most hyperlocal businesses will need to increase their branding efforts to stay above water when larger groups become more competitive.
I also expect to see last mile distribution and B2B solutions emerging quickly within dense urban cores, as spin-offs from B2C models. This is especially true in central business districts (CBDs) as office couriers branch out from traditional models.
Hyperlocal supply chains will change the design of restaurants, grocery stores and general retailers going forward. Drive-through/pickup lanes will be streamlined to accommodate and enhance food delivery traffic. Grocery stores will be redesigned to expedite delivery orders.

The purpose of this study is to develop a hesitant trapezoidal fuzzy TODIM (interactive and multi-criteria decision making) with a closeness index-based ranking method to handle hesitant qualitative group decision making problems. First, a novel closeness index-based ranking method is presented to compare the magnitude of hesitant trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (HTrFNs). Based on the developed ranking method, the dominance values of alternatives over others for each expert are calculated. Then, a nonlinear programming model is established to derive the dominance values of alternatives over others for the group and correspondingly the optimal ranking order of alternatives is obtained.

Are you someone who feels most inspired and excited while tending to your summer garden? Why if we told you that you do not have to hang up your gardening tools when October rolls around? With the addition of a sunroom to your home, you can create a greenhouse that you can garden in all year long. Here are some things that you should keep in mind when considering a sunroom greenhouse.
If you are not working with an existing sunroom but are starting from scratch with your design, think carefully about the placement of the structure. Of course, the layout of your home and lot will dictate where you can add on to, but if your main goal with your sunroom is to use it as a greenhouse, the amount of sun exposure the room will get is an important consideration.
For the most robust and happiest garden, a south facing exposure is ideal. This will allow your garden to get the brightest and most amount of light the sun has to offer. If your sunroom is already built or layout limitations prevent you from building to accommodate a southern exposure, that’s ok. Just be sure to take lighting into account when selecting the plants for your garden.
If you are an avid gardener, you surely are aware that plants can indeed become sunburnt. When plants are sunburnt, they become damaged and stressed and you risk a weakened harvest or casualties altogether. So, make sure to keep an eye on your greenhouse garden, especially during the hottest Summer days. Because your sunroom will have a roof, that will already protect your garden from the intense summer sun, but there are other precautions you can take to combat the heat as well. Namely, you can opt for earthen vessels and materials when potting up your plants. Materials like terracotta, brick, and concrete are all excellent at absorbing and regulating heat.
In conclusion, if gardening is something you enjoy, you do not have to have an off season. Thanks to our Innovative Livingspaces four season sunrooms, you can reap a rich bounty of fruits and veggies all year long. If you are ready to discuss your sunroom options, please reach out to our team of experts today.

Paella originates from the Mediterranean region of Valencia in Spain. Paella derives from the Latin word 'patella' meaning pan.
The traditional way of cooking paella is over a wood fire, which was then eaten straight from the pan with each person using his own wooden spoon.
An authentic Paella Valenciana has no seafood but a mixture of chicken, rabbit and sometimes snails with green and white beans .
Valencians consider the unfortunately popular Paella Mixta (mixed paella), involving both meat and seafood, as a cultural abomination created for tourists.
Being Valencia a coastal region, there are multiple variations of seafood paella. One of our favourites is l’Arròs del Senyoret (Gentleman's rice) where all seafood is peeled in advance for easier ingestion.
The following list of ingredients, some of which have been unfortunately misused by esteemed celebrity chefs including Jamie Oliver and Bobby Flay, are absolutely forbidden in Paella Valenciana: chorizo, onions, green peas, white wine, seafood, beef, sausages, basmati or arborio rice, and olives.
Amalgamations of this nature, albeit legit and potentially yummy, should be correctly termed as ‘rice with things’ - not only to avoid distress but also as a matter of respect for the cultural idiosyncrasy of the Valencians.
There are many paella competitions all over Spain and very often a giant paella is the centrepiece for many fiestas.

Insight SA is an educating and skilling hub, led by experts and researchers striving to empower citizens and foster citizenship in the digital age through education. It is inspired by the input of an avant-garde youth team, at the cutting edge of emerging technology through membership of major social media companies’ advisory boards, and works with governments and international instutions worldwide.
Educating young people as digital citizens
Digital citizenship competences (values, attitudes, skills and knowledge) shape how we act in the digital world, and how ethically it will evolve. Experts working with Insight are also individually involved in many multi-stakeholder partnerships, very often with the Council of Europe, to develop educational tools and services to empower digital citizens of all ages.
2019 saw the launch of the Council of Europe’s Digital Citizenship Education Handbook, 2020-21 the publication of survey results from 21,000 parents in 46 countries who shared their perspective on digital citizenship, and 2022 saw the creation of a video series for 4 to 8 year olds. A major project in 2021-2022, was the development of a teaching curriculum for global citizenship, shortly to be published by UNESCO. Many of these resources are available in up to 20 languages.
Empowering children to stay safe online
The most powerful way to help children become responsible internet users and stay safe online is through education. We create and implement innovative approaches, tools and publications for children and their families, teachers and community. One such tool is the Digital Compass, a privacy-friendly, active research platform we use in conjuction with «SmartBus». The SmartBus has been developed in partnership with Huawei, and aims to empower teens in the digital world through fun sessions animated by local magicians. Since its creation in 2019, the SmartBus has run in secondary schools in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.
Insight is tackling the online challenge from another angle too, leading research for the IS3C, an international coalition on Internet Standards, Security, Safety, and recently released a report on the growing gap between the qualifications of tertiary graduates and the skill requirements of the cybersecurity industry.
Building knowledge through shared projects
Insight regularly participates in European Commission projects. In 2016-2019, we joined universities and learning centres in 10 countries as ethical adviser on Mathisis, aimed at “smart” learning and the use robotics in broadly varying educational contexts. We partnered CNTI-Cyprus in 2020-2022 to develop research tools for spotting innovation in vocational education projects led by the EU-agency, ETF. In March 2023 we once again took on the role of advisor in two new projects, one on interactive narratives to tackle hate speech (PROPS), and the other on democracy in schools (DEMOCRAT). Knowledge-building opportunities such as these place Insight at the leading edge of the digital transformation in education.
Tackling bullying through education
Over the years, Insight has conducted several anti-bullying initiatives. For example, members of the Insight team designed and led the EU-funded programme ENABLE, authored the Council of Europe publication entitled Bullying: perspectives, practice and, and sit on the steering committee of Power of Zero. This latter is an early childhood programme implemented in several countries worldwide to develop social-emotional skills. We have been tackling bullying in the MENA region too, as experts with the Council of Europe, and in partnership with the national government and NGOs. Activities include training for teachers and youth services, developing resources, and promoting the take-up of peer education. Meta, Instagram and Kaspersky have lent their support in Morocco too, contributing to the creation of a national youth forum in 2022, and the launch of a helpline in February 2023.

Get a free Auto Insurance quote from 20+ Canadian insurers
When you get an auto insurance quote, many criteria are taken into consideration. Your age, the value of the vehicle, and your driving experience are just a few factors that affect your risk on the road. But it’s also your driving record that strongly impacts auto insurance premiums. So, how does the driving safety compares across provinces? Most importantly, how exactly does a bad driving record impact driver’s premiums?
Digging for Insight
In order to answer these questions, Canadian company InsurEye conducted a study across Canadian consumers. Evaluating over a thousand insurance data points across Canada, all drivers were divided into three categories according to their driving record:
- No violations within the last 6 years (excluding parking tickets)
- Maximum 2 violations in the last 3 years
- More than 2 violations in the last 3 years, or license suspension in the last 6 years
Further insurance premiums of these driver categories were analyzed.
Example Ontario: How Safe Are Drivers Here?
Drivers in Ontario are comparatively quite safe. 84% of Ontario drivers claim to have no serious violations within the last 6 years (parking ticket violations excluded). That is just 3% lower than British Columbia, which leads with 87%. Two other large provinces, Alberta and Quebec, have a slightly lower amount of drivers with clean records.
15% of drivers in Ontario state to have a maximum of 2 violations in the last 3 years, and just 1% of Ontarians had more than 2 violations in the last 3 years or faced a driving license suspension in the last 6 years.
What Is the Price Tag on a Bad Driving Record?
How does a negative driving record impact our auto insurance rates? To find out, InsurEye compared the auto insurance spending of Ontario drivers across various age segments. It came out that Ontario drivers who have a maximum of 2 violations in the last 3 years pay approximately 20-25% more than drivers with a clean driving record.

(IntegrityPress.org) – Due to a potential bacterial risk, two recalls have been ordered on pet food made for cats, dogs, as well as hedgehogs – animals that could possibly fall ill or die from the products.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall notice on Monday, July 1, for products produced by Viva Raw LLC for dogs and cats after they were alerted to a potential contamination that could cause illness in affected animals and possibly even death. The products from the company based out of Hillsborough, North Carolina, were recalled due to the risk of listeria monocytogenes contamination, a bacteria that could harm pets as well as humans.
The affected products all came from the same lot, numbered 21244, and include Viva Turkey for Dogs (ground and chunked), Viva Turkey for Cats, Viva Pure Turkey, and Viva Beef and Turkey for Puppies. The five products from the lot, the only one the FDA warns against, were produced between May 16 and June 28, and sold throughout the country, in all 50 states.
According to the notice, although serious and fatal infections are rare, pets are still at risk and those infected would show symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, anorexia, respiratory issues, muscular spasms, nervousness, depression, miscarriage, and even death.
The notice also warned that even if no symptoms emerge, an infected animal can still carry the bacteria and spread it to other hosts, including pet owners. Humans infected by listeria monocytogenes would show similar symptoms, such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and body aches. The bacteria also increases the risk of meningitis and could cause other issues, including miscarriage, making pregnant women particularly at risk.
The hedgehog food recall was a separate incident in Weston, Ohio, where a batch of Vitakraft Sun Seed Inc. products were flagged for potential Salmonella contamination.
As of this report, no cases of infection or death have emerged related to the possible contamination, but the FDA continues to monitor the situation. According to a report from May, pet food recalls have been on the rise.

Trump’s FCC pick Brendan Carr vows to dismantle the “censorship cartel” and restore free speech in America.
At a Glance
- President-elect Donald Trump nominates Brendan Carr as FCC chairman
- Carr known for pro-corporate stance and alignment with Trump’s views on tech
- New FCC leadership expected to tackle tech censorship and reform Section 230
- Carr aims to halt foreign influence in media and shift away from DEI initiatives
- Critics question Carr’s commitment to protecting public interest
Trump Taps Free Speech Warrior for FCC Leadership
In a move that signals a seismic shift in telecommunications policy, President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Brendan Carr, a Republican FCC commissioner, to lead the Federal Communications Commission. This decision underscores Trump’s commitment to battling what he perceives as rampant censorship and bias in Big Tech and mainstream media.
Carr, known for his pro-corporate stance and recent alignment with Trumpian views on social media and tech companies, is poised to usher in a new era of deregulation and free speech advocacy at the FCC. Trump’s endorsement of Carr speaks volumes about the direction he envisions for the commission.
“Commissioner Carr is a warrior for Free Speech, and has fought against the regulatory Lawfare that has stifled Americans’ Freedoms, and held back our Economy. He will end the regulatory onslaught that has been crippling America’s Job Creators and Innovators, and ensure that the FCC delivers for rural America.”
Tackling Tech Censorship and Foreign Influence
Carr’s appointment signals a robust approach to addressing perceived censorship by major tech companies. He has been a vocal critic of what he calls the “censorship cartel,” accusing tech giants of participating in coordinated efforts to suppress conservative voices. This stance aligns perfectly with the GOP’s long-standing concerns about anti-conservative bias in social media platforms.
“Congressional investigations, press reports, and other evidence show that in many cases you did not act alone. Rather, you participated in a censorship cartel that included not only technology and social media companies but also advertising, marketing, and so-called ‘fact-checking’ organizations, as well as the Biden-Harris Administration itself.” – Carr
In addition to tackling domestic tech issues, Carr has demonstrated a keen focus on countering foreign threats, particularly from China, in communications and social media. He has been a strong advocate for banning TikTok if it does not separate from its China-based parent company, highlighting the national security implications of foreign-owned platforms operating in the U.S.
Reforming Media Landscape and Regulatory Frameworks
Carr’s vision for the FCC extends beyond tech regulation. He has expressed intentions to enforce public interest obligations for broadcast media using public airwaves, potentially reshaping the media landscape. This approach could lead to significant changes in how major networks operate and are held accountable for their content.
“Broadcast media have had the privilege of using a scarce and valuable public resource — our airwaves. In turn, they are required by law to operate in the public interest. When the transition is complete, the FCC will enforce this public interest obligation.”
Furthermore, Carr is expected to push for reforms to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which currently provides immunity to social media companies for content posted by users. This move could dramatically alter the landscape of online discourse and platform accountability.
A New Direction for the FCC
Carr’s leadership is likely to mark a significant departure from the current administration’s priorities. He has expressed intentions to eliminate the FCC’s focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, reflecting a broader conservative push against what they view as excessive political correctness in government agencies.
While supporters hail Carr’s nomination as a victory for free speech and economic growth, critics argue that his appointment is politically motivated and question his commitment to protecting the public interest. As the FCC prepares for this transition, all eyes will be on Carr to see how he balances his pro-corporate stance with the commission’s mandate to serve the American public.
As Carr takes the helm of the FCC, his actions will undoubtedly shape the future of American telecommunications, media regulation, and the ongoing battle for free speech in the digital age. The coming months will reveal whether his leadership will truly dismantle the alleged “censorship cartel” and usher in a new era of freedom and accountability in American media and technology.

While many people hate sports, the benefits of playing them are undeniable. Whether a particular sport is fun or grueling can boost a person’s ego. Moreover, sports are a good way to develop self-confidence and make better decisions. Aside from helping a person stay fit, playing sports can help prevent diseases like cancer, osteoporosis, and other conditions. Even though it is a subjective concept, sports are very beneficial for a wide variety of reasons.
In sports, the rules are not set in stone. While participants may break rules to get an advantage, there are other key principles that define a sport. In general, sports are defined as physical exertion. These are the basic principles of organised sport. They often look similar to traditional sports but differ in their motivations. There is a significant difference between organised sport and social sports. In general, however, organised sport is more structured than social sports.
Whether a sport is spectator- or player-driven, it is important to understand the purpose behind the competition. In many cases, sports are competitive and serve as entertainment. In order to improve physical ability, participants engage in intense physical activity. Aside from providing entertainment for spectators, most sports involve hundreds of simultaneous participants. This involves the use of equipment, varying degrees of strength, and a large number of variables. A good example of this is the use of a motorized device.
A sport is a competitive activity that involves two or more people. According to Michael Brown, an activity is a sport when it involves a team or individual competing against an opponent. Athletes can earn millions of dollars in sponsorships and advertising deals. Similarly, spectator sports are often considered to be team games. Despite the fact that it is a competitive activity, it is an important source of entertainment for both teams and non-participants.
Many sports are spectator-oriented. They can include board games or puzzles. There are many forms of spectator-sporting. Bridge is one example of a mind game. The International Olympic Committee recognizes bridge and chess as sports. Other forms of sport are often referred to as mind games. While they are generally competitive, spectators often watch games in order to enjoy them. If the game involves a physical component, the competition is usually considered a sport.
Among the most common types of sports are basketball, football, and soccer. Some are played in outdoor locations while others are played indoors. Various specialized sports are popular in different countries. Some of the most popular types of sport are baseball, volleyball, soccer, and field hockey. Some of these are considered spectator sports. If the sport is a spectator sport, it should be free from violence. In addition to violence, it should promote goodwill.
