If you need a tree removed from a tricky spot, we’ve got the skill and equipment to get the job done! Here at Miller Tree Service, we have a deep respect for trees, as they’re essential components in our ecosystem. Our team is dedicated to the care of trees in the area, and we happily provide several tree care services designed to help trees thrive. However, we also understand that there are some cases where a tree simply must be removed. Maybe it’s growing too close to a building or utility line or has suffered so much damage that it is a danger to anyone and everything around it. In any case, our team is here to provide the effective tree removal services your property needs. We take great pride in the fact that our team is ready to tackle tough jobs that many other tree removal companies would shy away from. We love a challenge, and we have worked hard to gain the skill and equipment required to handle even the trickiest of tree removals. One method that we have found particularly effective is grapple saw tree removal. A grapple saw is a piece of heavy machinery that features a grapple, which is a type of heavy claw, and either chain saws or circular saws. The grapple firmly holds the tree to keep it stable while the saws cut through it. The grapple saw tree removal process helps ensure a precise cut through the tree trunk, which can then be safely lowered and removed. Our grapple saw is mounted on a crane, which allows us to precisely control the removal of tall trees, even in crowded urban areas. If you have a tree on your Advance, North Carolina property that needs to be removed, count on us to come up with a safe and effective plan to accomplish the task. Reach out today to learn more about grapple saw tree removal or to schedule a service with our team.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

The aim of the project was to set rational connections between the new cultural nucleus, the city centre and the traffic system. The open and public areas become key aspects in the project: an investigation on the meanings of 'piazza' (square) and of 'crossing' has generated the concept of 'ground'. Traditionally, in Italy, the 'piazza' is defined by physical and visual elements that limit its space, but it is also characterized by an institutional presence (a city council, a market, etc…), that defines its meaning. This project aims at generating a new form of 'piazza' where the physical boundaries blur into the open space, creating new public spaces that welcome pedestrians, allowing them to penetrate the constructed mass, which is raised above the ground. The centre is organized onto two levels, the perimeter of the first floor juts out by 2 mt. The idea is that of a massive volume, raised above the square level. Underneath the volume the system of connections and public spaces mixes with the system of accesses and internal areas. The lower ground is characterized by a strong permeability therefore the buffer spaces between inside and outside gain strength and importance. Inside, at ground floor, two open air patios cut through the first-floor mass to bring light and air to the lower level. The two volumes differ in mass as well as in material: the rendered ground floor is juxtaposed to the lightness of the polycarbonate sheets that define the first floor. The simplicity and integrity of the external volume is subverted in the internal spaces, which become complex in a three-dimensional space creating an 'urban scenario’ but maintain an explicit and clear internal distribution. The main areas within the public library are defined by volumes that organize the space creating flows and allowing people to orient within the building, just like one orients oneself within a city. In the main hall, balconies, volumes, connecting bridges, all contribute to set an harmonic relation with the inner patio. Photo credits: Alessandra Bello	CC-MAIN-2024-51

The United Auto Workers (UAW) has announced a temporary pause in its strike authorization efforts at several Stellantis plants. This decision comes as the union approaches a critical 60-day deadline for local unions to determine whether to proceed with potential strike actions. The ongoing conflict between Stellantis and the UAW centers around the automaker’s investment plans, which were outlined in the 2023 national contract. The union has raised concerns regarding Stellantis’ delays in reopening the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois and the potential relocation of Dodge Durango production from Detroit to Canada. These issues have led the UAW to threaten strike actions if grievances related to these matters are not addressed. UAW officials are now pulling back from their strike push as they near deadlines for notifying Stellantis of their intentions at various plants. This includes withdrawing grievances at three local unions: one in Los Angeles, one in Denver, and another in Rockford, Illinois, that had already authorized strikes. Kevin Gotinsky, who oversees the UAW’s Stellantis department, explained that the union is taking this step to exhaust the grievance process before making any further decisions. “We’ve created a time-sensitive situation, and with the 60-day window closing, we have the opportunity to either notify the company of our intent to strike or withdraw our grievances without prejudice,” Gotinsky stated. He emphasized that the UAW retains the option to revive the grievances and potentially pursue a strike within the next three months. While the union is stepping back for now, negotiations regarding the Belvidere and Durango issues will continue. Gotinsky acknowledged that there is considerable uncertainty among union members about the implications of a strike, particularly given recent production cuts and layoffs at various Stellantis facilities. Stellantis maintains that it has the contractual right to delay the reopening of the Belvidere plant, citing the need to adapt to market conditions, including a slower-than-expected demand for electric vehicles. The company has also initiated federal lawsuits against the UAW and several individual locals, asserting that a strike is not permissible under the current contract. In a recent communication to Stellantis employees, Tobin Williams, the company’s Head of Human Resources in North America, reiterated that a strike is not allowed under the terms of their agreement. He noted that several locals, including UAW Local 1166 in Kokomo, Indiana, had voted against authorizing a strike and had withdrawn grievances related to Belvidere. Despite the pause in strike actions, UAW leaders, including President Shawn Fain, remain committed to pressuring Stellantis to fulfill its investment promises. Fain stated during a rally in Detroit, “We must ask ourselves how far we are willing to go to stand up for our livelihoods,” highlighting the stakes for union members amid ongoing negotiations and market challenges. As the situation evolves, the UAW is focusing on education and engagement among its members while negotiating with Stellantis. The union aims to ensure that the company remains accountable for its commitments, as both parties navigate a complex and changing automotive landscape. For now, the UAW’s decision to ease its strike authorization efforts represents a strategic pause in the ongoing negotiations with Stellantis, reflecting the union’s desire to maintain a balance between asserting workers’ rights and navigating the current economic climate.

By Curt Peterson Woodstock voters will decide on a $7,681,341 budget on Town Meeting Day, March 7. Major items in the budget include $2,254,023 for highways, $1,402,577 for ambulance department expenses, $622,430 for the fire department and $446,103 for police. One town budget item is $271,250, labeled “Select Board contingency.” This line item is intended for unpredictable emergencies or expenses that might occur. Voters will also authorize the elimination of town listers under Article 3 and replace them with a professionally qualified assessor or assessors. The town currently has two listers — Kathy Avellino, whose term is up in 2024 and Tim McCarthy, whose term is up in 2025. A third seat is currently vacant. Tom Yennerell, Woodstock’s interim town manager explained the reasoning behind eliminating the lister position in the annual town report. “It’s now common in many towns for no one to run for the elected office of lister,” Yennerell wrote. “The job is complex and sometimes controversial. An increasingly common practice is to hire an assessor to fill vacant elected lister positions. Town officials (Selectboard and trustees) need town wide voter approval to appoint an assessor(s). Currently, Woodstock officials don’t have authority to appoint an assessor(s). Consequently, at Town Meeting, Woodstock voters will be asked to grant authority to the town officials to appoint an assessor(s) and thereby avoid the potential issue of a lister shortage. There is no financial impact if the assessor system is approved.” Two Select Board seats, currently held by Keri Cole and Ray Bourgeois, are up for reelection as are Town Clerk Charles Degener and First Constable Kelly Linton’s positions. The Village will hold its annual meeting on March 12. Yennerell, who was formerly the town manager in Springfield, called the existence of the two entities “inefficient and cumbersome” in his report. “The original reasons for creating the Village no longer exist because times have changed,” Yennerell wrote. “The dual system requires countless hours of additional administration to operate both municipal entities. This translates to additional tax dollars needed to do the administration. It would be prudent to investigate solutions to improve this situation.” Most of the Village budget is consumed by the police department, which provides 24/7 coverage. Merging the town and Village has been discussed in the past, but proven controversial. The decision is not on either the town or Village warnings this year. Voters will also authorize the elimination of town listers and replace them with a professionally qualified assessor or assessors.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

Send Him To His Mother (Abraham Lincoln) One of the most interesting items I have framed lately is a note written by Abraham Lincoln toward the conclusion of the Civil War where he orders a young man to be sent to his mother. Rarely did President Lincoln evoke emotions in his orders, such as discharges, but this one must have really stirred Lincoln to react. Sometime ago, I received a call from two brothers who purchased an Abraham Lincoln signed note which they wanted properly preserved and framed. They called from north of Philadelphia (about 3 hours from here) and wished to have this item framed with the accompanying pieces of artifacts attesting to the note's history and provenance. So, they made the trek to come down here and we discussed framing options and how the signed note would be protected from adverse elements. Being such a prize find, they wanted to ensure its longevity and create a museum display piece to be admired. After seeing and reading the papers and history, I completely understand. The note refers to a boy by the name of John Quincy Adams. No, not the president, but the namesake the boy shared with the president who served as president about about 40 years prior. It was stated that the president was visiting a hospital in Washington, D.C. when he came upon a young boy, about 12, who was wounded in the war. Lincoln was known to visit soldiers, who were wounded in the tedious years of the war, through his personal travels. The young boy touched Lincoln's heart deeply. The young lad's condition and need for his mother moved Lincoln emotionally. Disregarding the strict, firm rules of military life, Lincoln immediately wrote on this card "Send him to his mother. A.Lincoln Jan. 19, 1865" This allowed the boy to be dismissed from the hospital and sent to the care of his mother. This short note demonstrated President Lincoln's care and admiration for those who fought against a divided nation, especially the young men who were thrown into a bitter and agonizing war of brother against brother. An incredible piece as this short note evokes the harsh realities many of our young men faced when they left home and took up arms in an unpopular struggle. This note, written and signed in the hand of President Abraham Lincoln, deserved only the finest protection of high quality framing. This incredible piece of history that Lincoln emotionally wrote to a young lad lying in a hospital will be protected for many years.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

Pros and Cons of Maeng Da Kratom, the Facts, and Everything You Should Know Maeng Da Kratom has always been deemed one of the best kratom strains in the market. The name often gets users questioning its origin and how exactly the strain is made. This is because kratom strains are customarily named after their vein color and country of origin e.g., Green Malay. So, what exactly is Maeng Da and how is it different from other strains? This quick read will tell you all you need to know! Table of Contents What Is Maeng Da Kratom? The term “Maeng Da” loosely translates to “pimp-grade” in Thai. This term is a testament to this strain’s powerful potency. Maeng Da Kratom is typically consumed for its powerful properties that enhance your focus, offer mental clarity, and give you a sensational boost of energy. At the same time, users should be wary of this strain as it can cause severe issues if they don’t take the necessary precautions. It’s not recommended to consume Maeng Da during the evening as it can cause you to stay awake late in the night. Taking it in doses above 8 g can lead to side effects like vomiting, upset stomach, and even respiratory complications. If you’re a new user, it’s best to steer clear of Maeng Da entirely. Facts about the Strain Maeng Da doesn’t come from a specific place or tree, it’s created by a unique cultivation process called grafting. It involves combining different plants to form a hybrid that infuses the qualities of its parent plants. This hybrid plant is dried using a special, elongated process to enhance its alkaloid content. This makes it much more potent and gives it the signature punch that you would only find in Maeng Da. For more information on Maeng Da Kratom, check out mykratomclub.com. Pros and Cons of Maeng Da Kratom Here is a list of the pros and cons of Maeng Da Kratom so you can judge if buying this strain is suitable for you: Contains high levels of mitragynine and 7-OH mitragynine — the two compounds responsible for the signature effects of kratom. Due to its popularity, it’s widely available in stores both online and locally nationwide. This strain is perfect for clearing your mind and helping you focus. It can give you the energy boost needed to get through a tough day without the jitters. It’s wonderful for uplifting your mood and keeping you upbeat. You can find many Maeng Da Kratom options in the form of powders, capsules, liquid extracts, and more. The strain is not suitable for new users. It can be too overpowering and make you feel uneasy. It’s easier to develop tolerance to Maeng Da compared to other strains. Best Maeng Da Kratom Products When it comes to buying Maeng Da Kratom, there is a wide variety to choose from. It’s available in three veins; White, Green, and Red depending on the maturity of the plant during harvest. Here is a list of some of the best products: MIT 45 Kratom Extract Shot MIT 45 can be your go-to for experiencing the true potential of Maeng Da.

OPMS Red Maeng Da Capsules OPMS Silver Maeng Da Red capsules are a great pick if you want to experience relaxing, pain-relieving effects. However, unlike most reds, this strain still packs an energy boost. Remarkable Herbs Green Maeng Da Powder If you’re into pure, fresh powders, this product is an excellent choice. Many users take it to ease anxiety symptoms, relieve pain, and boost their energy and mood. Maeng Da has always remained a top preference in the kratom community for its strength.

This impressive-looking, life-sized LEGO-built hotrod isn't just for show – it really works! A Melbourne-based entrepreneur named Steve Sammartino and a 20-year-old Romania-based technology genius named Raul Oaida came up with the idea after meeting on the Internet. They call it the Super Awesome Micro Project (SAMP), and the entire engine is made from LEGOs and runs on air. Its body is made almost entirely out of the plastic bricks, too. SAMP was crowdfunded, but not through sites like Indiegogo or Kickstarter. Instead, Sammartino sent a tweet asking for support. It read, “Anyone interested in investing $500-$1000 in a project which is awesome & a world first tweet me. Need about 20 participants…” Forty Australian patrons ended up backing the idea. The vehicle used more than 500,000 LEGO pieces for construction. It features four orbital engines with a total of 256 pistons, but it isn't a car you'd race. The top speed is only about 20 miles per hour, because Sammartino and Oaida were afraid of a LEGO explosion. Check out the video below to see their incredible creation in action.

Yadong County Festivals and Activities Linka Festival（林卡节） refers to “Zangling Jisang”, meaning the carnival that be celebrated by all the people in the world in Tibetan language. Generally speaking, Linka festival falls roughly halfway from May 1 and 15. Some counties may delay this festival for some time due to seasons and temperature differences. Tibetan New Year Festival, also known as Losar Festival, is the most significant festival in Tibet. Just as its name implies, the New Year takes place on 1st January of Tibetan calendar. Tibetan people begin to celebrate on 29th December and the festival lasts for about 2 weeks, with the main celebrations on the first 3 days. Tibetan New Year Festival is not only celebrated in Tibet, but also in Bhutan and Mongolia. Even in Tibet, different areas have different ways to celebrate it. Before the Tibetan New Year, each household makes or buys "qiema" (a wooden measure for grain), expressing the wish of good harvest and auspiciousness in the coming year. They will also make "kasai" (fried twisted dough sticks) in various forms, which looks golden and tastes crispy, and "luoguo" (a kind of food made of butter in the shape of sheep head), signifying thriving domestic animals and abundant life. In addition, they offer dried or fresh fruits, butter and brick tea to Buddhas. Then they will Have a family reunion to welcoming the New Year, and visit their friends & paying pilgrimage to the monastery. Ongkor Festival（望果节） is an old festival in farming areas of Tibet held in each August according to Tibetan calendar when all crops are waiting for harvest." Ongkor" in Tibetan means "surrounding the farmland". Major activities include horse racing, shooting, singing and dancing, Tibetan Opera, stone holding and wrestling. The "Ongkor" not only shows people's wish for a good harvest, but also a good time for them to rest. Since crops ripen in different times, the festival is held accordingly. The Ongkor Festival originated in the valley at the middle and lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River. The initial form is offering sacrifices to gods by natural villages to pray for a good harvest.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

Towards robust vision by multi-task learning on monkey visual cortex Shahd Safarani · Arne Nix · Konstantin Willeke · Santiago Cadena · Kelli Restivo · George Denfield · Andreas Tolias · Fabian Sinz Deep neural networks set the state-of-the-art across many tasks in computer vision, but their generalization ability to simple image distortions is surprisingly fragile. In contrast, the mammalian visual system is robust to a wide range of perturbations. Recent work suggests that this generalization ability can be explained by useful inductive biases encoded in the representations of visual stimuli throughout the visual cortex. Here, we successfully leveraged these inductive biases with a multi-task learning approach: we jointly trained a deep network to perform image classification and to predict neural activity in macaque primary visual cortex (V1) in response to the same natural stimuli. We measured the out-of-distribution generalization abilities of our resulting network by testing its robustness to common image distortions. We found that co-training on monkey V1 data indeed leads to increased robustness despite the absence of those distortions during training. Additionally, we showed that our network's robustness is often very close to that of an Oracle network where parts of the architecture are directly trained on noisy images. Our results also demonstrated that the network's representations become more brain-like as their robustness improves. Using a novel constrained reconstruction analysis, we investigated what makes our brain-regularized network more robust. We found that our monkey co-trained network is more sensitive to content than noise when compared to a Baseline network that we trained for image classification alone. Using DeepGaze-predicted saliency maps for ImageNet images, we found that the monkey co-trained network tends to be more sensitive to salient regions in a scene, reminiscent of existing theories on the role of V1 in the detection of object borders and bottom-up saliency. Overall, our work expands the promising research avenue of transferring inductive biases from biological to artificial neural networks on the representational level, and provides a novel analysis of the effects of our transfer.

Fylde Council will be offering free parking on the weekends leading up to Christmas this year to help make your Christmas shopping experience that little bit easier. The first free day will be Saturday 7th December to support Small Business Saturday, a campaign to encourage more people to shop local and support small businesses in the community. For the following 3 weekends (7th and 8th, 14th and 15th and 21st and 22nd), all Council owned Pay and Display car parks will be free to use all day. Fylde Council are also helping to tackle drink driving this festive season by reminding residents that parking tickets run over to the next day. Therefore, if you purchase a pay and display ticket in the evening, this will run through for the amount of time paid to the following morning. This helps avoid drink driving by giving people time to sober up in the morning before collecting their cars, and for anyone staying over in one of the hotels, it gives them a lie in and enough time for the alcohol to leave their system.

In biggest blindness breakthrough, Japan performs world's first stem cell-treatment to restore vision In a remarkable medical first, a research team from Osaka University in Japan has achieved a breakthrough in the treatment of blindness using stem cell therapy. In a remarkable medical first, a research team from Osaka University in Japan has achieved a breakthrough in the treatment of blindness using stem cell therapy. The researchers have successfully restored vision in patients suffering from limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), a debilitating condition that severely impairs eyesight and has historically been difficult to treat. LSCD damages the eye’s cornea, leading to persistent pain, vision impairment, and often blindness. Conventional treatments for LSCD are limited, and previous attempts at restoring sight have been met with significant challenges, including severe side effects and limited success rates. Kohji Nishida, an ophthalmologist at Osaka University in Japan, and his colleagues used an alternative source of cells — induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells — to make the corneal transplants. They took blood cells from a healthy donor and reprogrammed them into an embryonic-like state, then transformed them into a thin, transparent sheet of cobblestone-shaped corneal epithelial cells. By implanting these reprogrammed cells, the team successfully restored sight in three out of four participants. The fourth patient saw temporary improvement, showing the therapy's potential to reverse vision loss even in severe cases. No severe side-effects One of the most promising aspects of the study is the absence of severe side effects. After two years of monitoring, none of the patients exhibited complications such as tumor formation or immune rejection—a common risk with stem cell treatments. All four recipients showed immediate improvements in their vision, and a reduction in the area of the cornea affected by LSCD. This indicates a high level of safety and stability, which could pave the way for wider clinical applications.	CC-MAIN-2024-51
Mobile game development has come a long way since the days of simple arcade games like Snake and Tetris. With the advancement in technology and increasing popularity of smartphones, the future of mobile game development looks incredibly bright. In this article, we will explore some of the trends to watch in the mobile game development industry. The Rise of Augmented Reality (AR) Games One of the biggest trends in mobile game development is the rise of augmented reality (AR) games. Games like Pokemon Go and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite have shown the immense potential of AR technology in the gaming industry. AR games blend the virtual world with the real world, creating a truly immersive gaming experience for players. In the future, we can expect to see more mobile games incorporating AR technology to provide users with unique and interactive gameplay experiences. Hyper-Casual Games Dominating the Market Another trend to watch in mobile game development is the dominance of hyper-casual games in the market. Hyper-casual games are characterized by their simple gameplay mechanics, minimalistic design, and short play sessions. These games are easy to pick up and play, making them incredibly popular among casual gamers. With the rise of hyper-casual games, we can expect to see more developers focusing on creating simple yet addictive games that appeal to a wide audience. The Continued Growth of Mobile Esports Esports has become a global phenomenon, with millions of viewers tuning in to watch competitive gaming tournaments. Mobile esports, in particular, has seen tremendous growth in recent years. Games like PUBG Mobile and Fortnite have become staples in the esports scene, attracting a large and dedicated player base. As mobile devices become more powerful and capable of handling complex games, we can expect to see even more growth in the mobile esports industry. Cross-Platform Play and Progression Cross-platform play and progression have become increasingly popular in the gaming industry, allowing players to seamlessly switch between different devices without losing their progress. This trend is poised to become even more prevalent in the mobile game development space. With the rise of cloud gaming services like Google Stadia and Xbox Game Pass, players can enjoy their favorite games on any device, including smartphones and tablets. Developers are likely to leverage cross-platform play and progression to create a more seamless gaming experience for players across all devices. The Emergence of Subscription-Based Gaming Services Subscription-based gaming services have been gaining traction in the gaming industry, with platforms like Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass offering a curated selection of premium games for a monthly fee. These services provide players with access to a wide range of high-quality games without the need for in-app purchases or ads. As more players turn to subscription-based gaming services for their mobile gaming fix, developers may start to prioritize creating exclusive content for these platforms. In conclusion, the future of mobile game development is filled with exciting possibilities. From the rise of augmented reality games to the dominance of hyper-casual games, the industry is constantly evolving to meet the demands of players. By keeping an eye on these trends and leveraging the latest technologies, developers can create innovative and engaging mobile games that captivate audiences around the world.	CC-MAIN-2024-51
Noting that surveillance is not only on Guyana’s borders but also its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), President Dr Irfaan Ali on Thursday said the country remains “vigilant and militant” of all threats. “Guyana is committed to the principle of non-aggression but we remain vigilant and militant in face of all and any threats. We must never be found blinking but ever ready to deter and resist any threat to our country. “This is the mission of the force which you as officers are committed to lead,” President Ali said. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces was speaking at the opening ceremony of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Annual Officers conference. As he touched on the Guyana/Venezuela border controversy, he said, “The surveillance, not only of our borders but our investment is to have complete eye of everything that belongs to Guyana including our Exclusive Economic Zone.” Guyana and Venezuela have an ongoing border controversy that is squarely before the International Court of Justice (ICJ). However, Guyana and Venezuela recently signed the Argyle Declaration, a joint pronouncement issued by both countries following a meeting of Presidents Ali and Nicolas Maduro in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Significantly, they agreed that Guyana and Venezuela, directly or indirectly, will not threaten or use force against one another in any circumstances, including those consequential to any existing controversies between the two States. President Ali on Thursday reiterated that Guyana remains “steadfastly” committed in the principles outlined in the Argyle Declaration. He also maintained that the controversy will only be determined at the ICJ. “Diplomacy has always been a key element of our defence strategy. “We are 100 percent committed to this process and it is an unwavering position of Guyana,” President Ali said.

In my opinion, Endo International (ENDP) is one of the more perplexing names in the stock market. Just when you think you have a bead on the company’s earnings and the story, the narrative suddenly changes. When you think you have the stock properly valued, investors and Wall Street analysts suddenly have a different spin and assign value much different from yours. I understand how irrational markets can be, but at some point ENDP should trade based on its expected revenue and earnings growth. It practically has to, right? The fact that the lion’s share of the shares outstanding are owned by institutions should be a good thing. I would expect institutions to be more sophisticated than retail investors. I would also expect them to assign value to ENDP based on some type of math related to revenue, EBITDA, earnings or cash flow. I understand these types of metrics. However, sentiment or how someone feels about a stock are a lot more nebulous. That said, ENDP has taken me on a wild ride over the past year. The shares reached a 52-week high of $18.50 in November 2018 just prior to reporting Q3 2018 earnings. The stock sold off immediately after Q3 earnings and appeared to have bottomed in the $7 range in late December. The sell off was inexplicable, given a strong Q3 2018 earnings report. ENDP has been volatile for most of 2019. Read more:	CC-MAIN-2024-51
For many people who operate websites in the US the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will mean very little. Many of our clients here at Nicely Done Sites do not do business with people in the European Union so there is little that they feel that they need to do with their webpage at the moment. While that may be true in some regards there are always things that can be done to shore up security and protect information on the Internet. Keeping WordPress up to date is a good idea One of the easiest things to do is to simply make sure that your WordPress page is up to date. WordPress released a new update during the week of May 14 in preparation for the May 25 implementation of the GDPR rules in Europe. WordPress did a lot of the heavy lifting for you so all you need to do is update it. It is a good idea to do anyway as keeping your website up-to-date just makes sense. What would my webpage need for GDPR? If your website does business with people or other businesses in the EU there are some things that need to be changed with your website. You will need to explain to customers what your business does, why you need a customer’s data, how long you will keep it and who can access that data. The customer must consent to having their data collected and must be given the option to opt out if desired. Customers also have the “right to be forgotten” or to download their data that you have and to have it deleted. Furthermore data breaches must be reported within 72 hours. No legislation pending in the US If you do not do business with anyone in the EU you do not need to worry about this at the moment but legislation like this will one day be law here in the United States and Canada has implemented regulations like this as well so the day when you need to do something about this will be here sooner rather than later. Should you worry about this? Not at the moment. While there are many things that can be done to any site to shore up security trying to be proactive about any GDPR-esque legislation could be a waste of time and resources. Simply put there is no legislation pending before Congress nor is there likely to be until the next session. With no legislation available to serve as a guide there is simply no way to adequately prepare your website for compliance. When that legislation does come from Capitol Hill there will be several years given for compliance so it will not need to be done overnight. That is good news for us as digesting any Congressional bill is never easy. One of the main questions you might be asking is if the EU has placed requirements down why not just use them as a guide to make a website compliant? Some of these requirements do not correspond to anything within our government or legal system so it is hard to implement some of those measures. As such Congress cannot just simply copy and paste the EU’s law into our law and who knows what will happen when the lobbyists get hold of this. Something like the GDPR will become law here in the US. The people are sick of data breaches and having their data used unscrupulously for someone or some company’s gain and this could be one of the hot button issues in the 2020 presidential election. It is certainly something that no Congressman will want to stand in the way of. When it comes, be ready but have patience as breaking down the regulation and updating all of our clients pages will not be an easy or quick process but we’ll get it done.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

In characteristic boldness, Bliss Wedding Chapel is set to become the only wedding venue on or off the Las Vegas Strip to replace their stretch limousines to offer a green fleet of luxury sedans, elevating the traditional wedding experience into a new era of eco-luxury. Until now, couples have been chauffeured in inefficient, mechanically unreliable limousines. “The wedding industry here in Las Vegas has ignored significant improvements regarding the transportation component of our business, not to mention the environment,” states Brandon Reed, owner of Bliss Wedding Chapel. “We’re changing that. We understand that while couples want to get to the chapel on time with the AC working and in style, it’s also hard to find a bride who’s eager to take a Prius down the Strip on her big day.” Manufacturers are not building limousines with reliability and the environment in mind. In fact, the Big Three car makers are no longer producing the popular sedans traditionally customized into limousines, such as Lincoln’s Continental and MKS models, Cadillac’s CT series, and Chrysler’s 300. So, what’s left to stretch? Bliss Wedding Chapel is pioneering a shift to luxurious, climate-resilient Mercedes Benz-EQS 450 electric sedans. These state-of-the-art vehicles ensure a lavish yet environmentally responsible experience, perfect for Nevada’s extreme desert climate. Eco-Friendly Elegance: A New Chapter in Luxury Weddings - Green Commitment: Bliss’s initiative extends beyond transportation. As the newest stand-alone wedding chapel on the Las Vegas Strip in over 30 years, the newest technologies in construction could be fully implemented. Repurposed materials were used and innovations to foster more efficient heating and cooling processes were put into place. Automated water conservation, a desert must, was thought of from the beginning. Everything from scheduling to recycling practices has been implemented to attempt to make a difference, while maintaining a first class wedding venue experience. - Environmental Impact: The electric fleet will significantly reduce emissions, contributing to cleaner air in the Las Vegas valley.

By Sodiq Adelakun The Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) has ramped up efforts to resolve delays in payments to depositors of the recently closed Heritage Bank, while also announcing an increase in the insured deposit coverage to N5 million. Speaking on Saturday at the 2024 NDIC Editors’ Forum in Lagos, Bello Hassan, the NDIC’s Managing Director and CEO, revealed that the corporation is working tirelessly to address challenges that have slowed down reimbursements to some depositors. Hassan, who was ably represented by, executive director of operations, Mallam Mustapha Ibrahim explained stem from issues such as discrepancies in the defunct bank’s depositor database, missing Bank Verification Numbers (BVN), account restrictions, and name mismatches. While most depositors have received their insured sums, Hassan emphasized that certain cases remain unresolved, largely due to these inconsistencies. “We are aware of the challenges some depositors face in accessing their guaranteed sums. These issues are being worked on, and we are committed to resolving them swiftly,” Hassan assured. The NDIC, which was appointed as the liquidator for Heritage Bank after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) revoked its license on June 3, 2024, has already made significant progress in reimbursing insured deposits up to N5 million. Meanwhile, the corporation has streamlined the reimbursement process, ensuring that most depositors with BVN-linked accounts have been paid without needing to visit NDIC offices or fill out additional forms. “This innovative approach has allowed us to pay most depositors whose accounts are linked to their BVNs. This has made the process faster and more efficient,” he added. Also, he urged depositors of Heritage Bank to promptly complete their Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements in order to facilitate the smooth and timely reimbursement of their insured deposits.

Hi guys, today I have a special surprise for you. I want you to welcome my new Guest Reviewer Sophia Rose. Some of you may know Sophia from her regular posting on Delightful Reader. Today she is reviewing for us a great paranormal romance Bonds of Justice by Nalini Singh, you can read her wonderful review below. Bonds of Justice by Nalini Singh Series: Psy-Changeling #8 Published by Berkley on July 6th 2010 Genres: Paranormal Romance Buy on Amazon Max Shannon is a good cop, one of the best in New York Enforcement. Born with a natural shield that protects him against Psy mental invasions, he knows he has little chance of advancement within the Psy-dominated power structure. The last case he expects to be assigned is that of a murderer targeting a Psy Councilor’s closest advisors. And the last woman he expects to compel him in the most sensual of ways is a Psy on the verge of a catastrophic mental fracture… Sophia Russo is a Justice-Psy, cursed with the ability to retrieve memories from men and women so twisted even veteran cops keep their distance. Appointed as Max’s liaison with the Psy, she finds herself fascinated by this human, her frozen heart threatening to thaw with forbidden emotion. But, her mind filled with other people’s nightmares, other people’s evil, she’s standing on the border between sanity and a silken darkness that urges her to take justice into her own hands, to become judge, jury…and executioner… I have been enjoying my reading journey this year through the fantastic and engaging Psy-Changling series by Nalini Singh. Her futuristic paranormal world where three races of humans (regular humans, animal shifter humans, and psychic humans) share the planet and all bring their own brand of danger and intrigue to the table with each new book installment. This is not a good series to skip around and get the books out of order because, though it features a new romance pair with each book, there are ongoing story lines the continue through each book. The world and the large cast of characters was shared in the beginning and build as it goes. In this latest installment, Bonds of Justice, Singh introduces the reader to another type of psychic human, the ‘J’ or Justice designation (variation on telepathic types) and pairs her with a human. All along, I’ve felt some pity for the psy because many of them stand a better than average chance of either going nuts due to their psy gift messing with them or getting their brain wiped because they are deemed unstable by their own government. Sophia Russo, a Justice Psy, has a truly tough row to hoe in that her designation of psy has a really short shelf life because of the nature of her job- dipping into the darkest of criminal minds to extract the truth so that justice can be served when the forensics and testimony at the trial aren’t quite enough. This is another one of those situations the author does so well when the reader wonders just how she is going to pull out a win for the home team. Sophia is essentially dying, she can’t walk away from the latest assignment that might well be too much and kill her, and now she has fallen in love when a man who loves her back and has had his own struggles that might break him when she dies. Sophia and Max are a great pair and their backstory, characters, and ongoing relationship that builds between them make a good case why they are so right for each other. Sophia has lived the cold, sterile world of a psy until she encounters red-blooded sensual, but very much alone Max who teaches her to live even while she shows him he has someone to come home to finally. Their romance is set against the conflict of a ticking time bomb that is Sophia’s eroding mental shields, a dangerous sociopath serial killer, and a cunning murder mystery that they must solve for a powerful psy councilor. There are also check-ins with Lucas and Sascha’s story and other previous couples that Max knows from earlier stories. And beyond that is the ongoing underground civil war taking place in the psy race. It might seem like it was all too much, but it wasn’t. There are quick scene changes, but they lead in and transition well. They serve to tighten the tension and keep the reader riveted rather than distracted. It ended on a high note and left me with a strong desire to grab up the next book in the series to keep going and see what comes next. The series still feels tight and fresh with a strong conflict that is moving forward steadily. For those who love spicy paranormal romance, I can definitely recommend this series.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

The NIHRC Blog #3 Our June blog post is written by our Communications and Public Affairs Officer. World Refugee Day: Small Worlds in Belfast Very gradually, individuals made their way into the room. Smiles were exchanged politely and seats taken around the five tables set out on the studio floor. People had travelled various distances to be here - but none quite so far as Mehrshad. Or Norma and Maryama. Tuesday 20 June marks World Refugee Day. Established by the United Nations General Assembly, June 20 has been set aside as Word Refugee Day since 2001 - the year which marked the 50th anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Each year, the UK celebrates Refugee Week, expanding World Refugee Day into a week-long event aimed at creating ‘better understanding between different communities and to encourage successful integration, enabling refugees to live in safety and continue making a valuable contribution’. This year, we partnered with the Northern Ireland Community of Refugee & Asylum Seekers (NICRAS) and got in touch with the Belfast Friendship Club, asking them to host a Small Worlds workshop with us. The concept was simple. Five tables. Five hosts - each of whom had left their homelands in pursuit of safety. Each host sat with photographs of their home countries carefully laid out on the tables before them, and began to recall their stories - where they came from; why they left; and how they came to be in Northern Ireland. Each story shared drew ears closer as those listening tried to grapple with what they were hearing. Mehrshad had fled persecution in Iran. Viktoriya and Geetha spoke of how they were forced to leave Kazakhstan and Sri Lanka, respectively, because of racial discrimination and threat of violence. Norma told of how she left behind oppression in Zimbabwe, while Maryama escaped the devastation of militia-ravaged Somalia. In June 2016, the UN ICESCR Committee expressed concern about the challenges faced by asylum seekers in the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights, particularly those that are due to severe restrictions in taking up employment and the insufficient level of support provided through the daily allowance. The UN ICESCR Committee recommended that the State party: - increase the level of support provided to asylum seekers, including through the daily allowance, in order to ensure that they enjoy their economic, social and cultural rights, in particular the right to an adequate standard of living. - encouraged the State party to ensure that asylum seekers are not restricted from accessing employment while their claims are being processed. Although differing in status - only one of the hosts has been granted refugee status, after a five year wait, while the remainder are awaiting decisions on their applications for asylum - the hosts had one commonality: they now call Belfast their home. Owing greatly to the work of Stephanie Mitchell and the Belfast Friendship Club, the five have found a source of support and solidarity in a city they hadn’t known existed until it became the only safe harbour available to them. (Pictured: Viktoriya; Mehrshad; Stephanie Mitchell from Belfast Friendship Club and South Belfast Roundtable; NIHRC Chief Commissioner Les Allamby; NIHRC Communications Manager Claire Martin; Geetha and Norma.)

QTL mapping of preharvest sprouting resistance in bread wheat population SHA3/CBRD by Naxos confirms a negative effect of the 1BL.1RS translocation on falling number Peer reviewed, Journal article Show full item recordAbstract Preharvest sprouting (PHS) is a serious problem in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)production areas with rainy harvest conditions. To explore the genetic control ofPHS resistance, a population of 166 recombinant inbred lines from a cross betweenSHA3/CBRD and Naxos was evaluated in a total of eight field trials in Norway andChina. PHS resistance was evaluated with both germination index (GI) and fallingnumber (FN). A total of 15 PHS-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were detected atchromosome arms 1RS, 2DL, 3BL, 4AL, 4BS, and 7BL. At 2DL and 3BL, QTLs forboth GI and FN were detected in proximity to each other with PHS resistance fromSHA3/CBRD, indicating a common genetic control of the two traits at these loci.At 4AL, a significant QTL for GI was detected with seed dormancy contributed byNaxos. Moreover, the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele contributed by SHA3/CBRD showeda positive association with FN. On the other hand, QFN.nmbu-1RS, carried by the1BL.1RS translocation in SHA3/CBRD showed consistent negative effects on FNacross all field trials where FN was measured. However, it did not have any notableeffect on GI. The negative effect of QFN.nmbu-1RS on FN was validated on a set of113 wheat cultivars and breeding lines, where lines carrying the 1BL.1RS translo-cation showed significantly lower FN in 12 out of 14 independent field trials. TheQTL and associated markers identified in this study will aid the breeding of morePHS-resistant wheat cultivars.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

The office also ensures the university community functions as freely as possible from disruptive and inappropriate behavior. First Generation Students If your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) have not completed a bachelor’s degree, then you are considered a first generation college student. As a first generation student, we know that you will have unique experiences during your time at NMU. Some of these experiences will be challenging and/or intimidating. We've created a page of resources just for you to support you in your educational experience: Commuter and Non-Traditional Students As a commuter or non-traditional student, we know that you will have questions related to your unique NMU experience. Whether you want to know about parking, how to get involved on campus, or just where to eat in between classes, we've created a page of resources just for you to support you in your educational experience: Nominations for Board of Trustees Student Achievement Awards The Board of Trustees Student Achievement Awards are given annually to recognize students for their significant contributions to the quality of life at NMU through involvement in extra-curricular activities, either academically or socially oriented, or through work in a university department. All recipients must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average. Any student, faculty member, or staff member may make nominations. All students nominated will be invited to submit further information. A committee consisting of members of the faculty, administrative staff, and student body will review the submissions to select one recipient for each award. Religious and Spiritual Observance Faculty, staff, and students practice a variety of religious and spiritual traditions, which enhance the diversity of our campus community. NMU acknowledges that scheduling conflicts between required academic activities and religious and spiritual obligations are inevitable. When an exam, assignment, or class conflicts with a religious or spiritual obligation, students should contact their instructors as soon as possible prior to the schedule conflict (generally a minimum of two weeks prior to the date or as specified by the instructor). If advance notice is given by a student, faculty should work with the student to provide a reasonable accommodation to the request. The specific accommodations employed may vary from course to course depending upon factors such as the size of the class, nature of the course content, and mode of instruction. Students are not exempt from meeting course requirements or completing assignments in a timely manner as determined by the instructor. If applicable, students are responsible for making arrangements with a placement site (e.g., internship, practicum) to meet required obligations or responsibilities.

It's okay to still have questions and an interest in their experience at NMU. We have created a page of resources to do just that:	CC-MAIN-2024-51
It helps department heads get on the same page as one another, and it helps them to communicate complex technical ideas to their teams in a way that is uniquely visual. In essence, pre-vis is among the best methods for a group of filmmakers to carry out a unified vision of a piece. Unfortunately, outside of higher budget projects that can afford dedicated pre-vis artists, many filmmakers still resort to traditional hand-drawn storyboards and overheads. While there's nothing wrong with doing these things by hand, it is nothing if not incredibly time consuming, and it makes the process of sharing this work with collaborators more tedious than it needs to be. That's where ShotPro comes into play. ShotPro is a pre-visualization app for the iPad and iPhone that is unlike any other on the market. In short, it brings the power of the complex 3D modeling softwares traditionally used for pre-vis work to your fingertips, and it simplifies the process of creating detailed compositions that you can then share with collaborators. Our friend Matt Workman, a commercial cinematographer and pre-vis artist based in New York City (who also runs the excellent Cinematography Database website) recently put together a quick test run/review of ShotPro that shows off the power of this app to quickly and easily build detailed pre-vis animations that can then be shared with members of your crew. Check it out. Here are the primary features of ShotPro: - Blocking: A scene takes only a few seconds to block! Building a virtual set has never been easier with intuitive multitouch controls. These controls allow for quick placement and detailed changes to cameras, props, lights and characters. Precisely block with the feet/meter grid system. - Lighting: Bring your set to life with dynamic lighting and shadows. Control ambient and production lighting variables such as color, brightness, position and even manipulate the sun. - Cameras: Control the camera by adjusting elevation, rotation, zoom, position and depth of field. Add multiple cameras for each scene. Customize the camera’s lens from 20mm-350mm. - Characters: Casual, formal, medical, personal, police, prisoner, military, elderly, children and more! Characters can be customized with specific movements, facial expressions and loads of full body motions like walk, run, swim, etc. - Props: Ranging from plants, water, furniture, streets, vehicles, buildings, FX and many more. All positionable and keyframable. - Keyframing: Add movement to props, characters and cameras. Adjust your view to create dynamic 3D or 2D simulations to use as a blueprint on set. From simple to advanced point to point movements your scene will come alive in seconds. - Realtime Performance in 3D: All scene manipulation occurs in realtime. This includes camera feedback, project playback and scrubbing. - Exporting: Once all your scenes have been completed you can export them out in 60, 30 or 24fps in 1080, 720, 480 or 240 as a .mov file to email to clients, crew, cast or friends. - Share: Projects can be shared with others or saved for your own back up. And here are a few basic tutorials on how to accomplish the various tasks listed above. ShotPro comes in at a fairly reasonable price-tag of $30 and is currently available from the App Store.

How To Outsmart a Big, Fat Liar Posted on June 29, 2010 by Mark Aguirre, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii. Body language is 80%+ of human communication. We will cover all the topics that relate to your social life every week. Stay tuned. "Are YOU a big, fat liar?" Let’s say you walk into a bar hoping to meet a woman. Go figure. (I am sure this is a rarity for most men, but just go along with me anyways, ok? ) If you are one that considers yourself attractive and a damn good catch, then your main focus would be on what the women in the bar look like (physically). If you consider yourself to be unattractive, then you are more concerned with how you appear to women. Your focus shifts depending upon your level of confidence. When a person has confidence in his words, he’s more interested in you understanding him and less interested in how he appears to you (which probably explains why you see great looking women with guys who have no looks, no job and commute via skateboard). We can see examples of this in everyday life. When you’re interested simply in making a point, you want to make sure the other person understands you. When you’re deceitful or trying to cover up something and resort to being a big, fat liar, your focus is on how you sound and appear as you’re relating the so-called “facts.” You’re conscious of your every word and movement. Stories that are made up rarely include any negative details. Ask a friend to tell you about her last vacation. Even if it was a raunchy Vegas trip, she’ll cover all of the bases, both positive and negative. Now, ask her to make up a story about a vacation that she never went on. You’ll notice that the elements are usually all positive. When a liar is being accused, he will remain fairly expressionless. The liar is more concerned with how he is going to respond than he is with the accusation itself. Asking a person, "Have you been cheating on me you bastard? " will put anybody on the defensive so …uh, so don’t do that. Ahem. Instead, ask the question that does not accuse the person, but alludes to the person’s possible rancid behavior. If he doesn’t realize that you’re implying anything, then he’s most likely NOT guilty. But if he gets defensive, then he knows what you’re getting at and he will continue to talk his way out of it ….(you do remember the OJ trial, right?) For example: If you suspect that your girlfriend is drinking on the job and spends a lot of time in bathroom stalls (men’s bathrooms) then ask it like this: “Hey there my little “sushi roll” (Cheerio girl, sweetie pie, honey or “Love worm” will also suffice)…. I’d like to get your advice on something…. My buddy Carlos has a problem and is deeply worried about his girlfriend…he feels that she may be severely tarnishing her reputation on many levels at work. According to him, it is becoming obvious due to the fact that she has several chipped teeth, smells like a moonshine farm and is usually bruised on both knees. Do you have any suggestions on how Carlos might be able to approach her about this?" Again, if your girlfriend is guilty, then she will instantly become very uncomfortable. If she’s not guilty, then she will be pleased that you sought her advice. Until next time… Killer Confidence Specialist	CC-MAIN-2024-51
Come aboard Mateys! The Columbus Ships sail continuously discovering new ports every week throughout the year in the United States. On Friday, 15th May, the Pinta and the Niña, replicas of Columbus Ships, will land in Wilmington and be open to the public through Tuesday, 19th May.

Resilience is a skill that involves the ability to recover quickly from difficulties or setbacks. It’s often referred to as mental toughness or emotional strength. Resilience is crucial in both personal and professional settings, as it helps individuals to cope with challenges, adapt to changes, and keep moving forward even in the face of adversity. The key components and behaviors of resilience include: - Optimism: Maintaining a positive outlook and expecting good things to happen. Resilient people tend to view challenges as opportunities rather than insurmountable problems. - Adaptability: Being flexible and willing to adapt to new situations. Resilient individuals can change their approach when the first strategy doesn’t work. - Emotional Awareness: Understanding and managing one’s emotions effectively. This includes recognizing how emotions influence behavior and decision-making. - Problem-Solving Skills: The ability to find solutions to difficult or complex issues. This involves creativity, logical thinking, and a willingness to experiment. - Social Support: Seeking and maintaining supportive relationships. Having a strong network of friends, family, or colleagues provides emotional support and practical assistance. - Self-Efficacy: Believing in one’s ability to influence events and persevere through challenges. This self-confidence is crucial for taking on and overcoming obstacles. - Acceptance: Recognizing that some situations cannot be changed and focusing on what can be controlled. - Self-Care: Engaging in activities that promote well-being and reduce stress. This includes maintaining a healthy lifestyle, practicing relaxation techniques, and pursuing hobbies. - Goal Setting: Establishing realistic and achievable goals. This helps in creating a sense of purpose and direction, which is vital for resilience. - Reflection and Learning: Learning from past experiences, both successes and failures. Reflective practice helps in understanding what worked, what didn’t, and why. Developing resilience is a process that involves growing and strengthening these components over time. It’s not about not experiencing difficulties or distress, but about effectively navigating and emerging stronger from these experiences. Resilience plays a significant role in both personal and professional life, providing numerous benefits: Resilience In Personal Life - Improved Mental Health: Resilience helps in managing stress and reducing the risk of mental health issues like anxiety and depression. By effectively coping with challenges, resilient individuals maintain better overall mental well-being. - Stronger Relationships: Resilience often involves seeking support and being supportive in return. This can strengthen relationships with family and friends, as resilient individuals are better equipped to deal with interpersonal conflicts and stresses. - Personal Growth: Resilient people use challenges as opportunities for personal development. They learn from their experiences, which contributes to a richer, more fulfilling life. - Better Coping with Life Changes: Life inevitably involves change and loss. Resilience helps individuals navigate these changes, such as the loss of a loved one, moving to a new city, or changes in personal relationships. - Increased Optimism and Positive Attitude: A resilient mindset fosters optimism and a positive outlook on life, which can enhance overall life satisfaction and happiness. Resilience In Professional Life - Enhanced Performance: Resilience helps in maintaining focus and productivity even under pressure or in the face of setbacks. This leads to better performance and job satisfaction. - Effective Leadership: Resilient leaders are better equipped to handle crises and lead their teams through challenging times. They also tend to inspire resilience in their teams. - Adaptability to Change: In the rapidly changing modern workplace, resilience is key to adapting successfully to new technologies, business models, and organizational changes. - Career Development: Resilient individuals are more likely to take risks and pursue growth opportunities, leading to career advancement and fulfillment. - Reduced Burnout: By managing stress effectively and maintaining a work-life balance, resilient professionals are less likely to experience burnout. - Problem-Solving Skills: Resilience enhances the ability to approach problems creatively and persistently, leading to innovative solutions in the workplace. In summary, resilience contributes to a more satisfying, balanced, and successful life, both personally and professionally. It enables individuals to handle stress and adversity more effectively, maintain a positive outlook, build strong relationships, and pursue personal and professional growth.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

LESSON 6 - PERSONAL SAFETY During fire suppression activity Safety is the number one Priority, always! Safety is the underlying theme for all of the information in this course, however this section will involve personal safety related to individuals or crews on the fire line. Power Line Safety When working around any power lines extra care is essential. Fires can start in the vicinity of charged lines either by direct contact with vegetation or possibly damaged power line equipment. If you are in close proximity to a downed line treat it as if it were charged, move away from the effected area and contact Nova Scotia Power Inc. Once NSPI has inspected the site, permission will then be given to resume activities after safety concerns are addressed. No work will take place until Nova Scotia Power has given you permission. If you have been caught in an area where a line has just come down, use the following procedure: Heavy smoke particulate can act as a conductor which can result in an electrical charge reaching the ground. This is possible when burning conditions are not complete (large amount of smoldering material, slash fire. Or an abundance of green material on a low humidity day) which means that there will be a lot of heavy smoke lingering in the area. Be very cautious under power lines. Avoid contact of power lines with water or foam. Water is a good conductor of electricity and under no circumstances should it be sprayed towards a charged power line. If a person trips and falls while handling a hose line, it is possible that the spray may come in contact with the power line and an injury could result. Be very sure of your footing under a power line. Trees or equipment that have come in contact with energized lines will be energized themselves and must be avoided. If equipment makes contact and the operator is uninjured after the initial contact, it is recommended that they remain seated until Nova Scotia Power deactivates the line. If the equipment starts to burn, and the operator must exit, jump out and make contact with both feet together on the ground. Do not turn around and touch the equipment. This will provide two points of entry and an uneven current distribution, which could result in serious injury or death. Once clear of the equipment, move away by shuffling your feet or hopping with both feet together. Inform your immediate supervisor and make everyone aware of a downed power line. Ribbon or mark the area , and post a look out as well.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

It’s gift season. And these days, gift season means gadget season. Consumer electronics companies often choose this time of year to mass produce cheap garbage that no one should buy. We will often buy enticing looking tech objects for gifts that we would never buy for ourselves. These cheap gadgets have the benefit of making us appear to be thoughtful gift givers, while also providing a sense of being on the cutting edge of coolness. It wasn’t that long ago that Amazon offered a 6-pack of super cheap tablets so that you could hand them out like trading cards. Trading cards would have been a better long-term gift. Race to the bottom tech gifts generally serve only the needs of the seller. They end up in junk drawers and landfills. Your family deserves better. So instead of getting several pieces of junk for individual family members, why not get one or two nice things the whole family can enjoy? Here are a few suggestions: Drones are the hot tech item of 2017. And they will be flying off of store shelves like nothing else this year. The reason is versatility. Drones cover the market in the categories of age, experience, utility, gender, and price. There is almost no category of person that can’t find a drone that is right for them. You can get the drones without camera options, or the ones with 4K resolution. If you have mischievous teens, the drones without cameras may be a better gift as there is less temptation to invade the privacy of others. However, if you want to have family outings and adventures, a camera drone can be a lot of fun, and capture high-quality photos and videos of everyone. Speaking of adventures, if you are having family adventures with kids, there are few things more useful than a modern tablet, and not just any tablet, but a big one. While there are many good smartphones from which to choose, there is still only one premium tablet to consider: the iPad. For a tablet used by the entire family, we can narrow that further to the iPad Pro. By going pro, you get a bigger and significantly better screen. If what you need is the best screen for watching video content such as movies and TV shows, you simply can’t do better than the screen on the iPad Pro. But not everyone will be interested in watching TV. The iPad Pro combined with the Apple Pencil makes one of the best digital drawing experiences money can buy. Even if your budding artist prefers to color instead of draw, the coloring book experience on the iPad Pro is better than any paper book and box of crayons. When the kids are not using the iPad for movies and games, you can use it for work. With an LTE model, you can connect to your company’s intranet using VPN. It can serve as a reader for your digital book collection, even Kindle books. It can serve as your interactive map, music player, or conduit to the World Wide Web. You don’t need to buy everyone in the family a separate iPad. But a family iPad will be one of the most used gadgets your will own. A Battery Brick All your digital toys need to be charged. When you are on a trip, there will always be some crucial device that is dangerously close to running out of juice. There are a plethora of good choices in this category of device. Even the Wirecutter, which is famous for giving just one recommendation for the best in a category, offers you four power banks from which to choose. It is hard to say that one device is the best. Our advice is to get the one that packs the most juice within your price range. That way, there is a good chance it will last for several days while everyone tops off when away from an outlet. For many, these are tough economic times. Avoid the temptation to buy lots of tech gifts that go directly from box to junk drawer. Instead, buy drones and iPads and power bricks and other things that the entire family can use. Your wallets and the less crowded landfills will thank you.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

According to , ever since the former Bachelor returned to his normal bumpkin life in the middle of nowhere Iowa he has been on quite the alcohol binge, even while working! “He’s quite the drinker,” Robert Berry, whose friend owns the land Chris grows his corn on, told Radar. “My friend told me that when she goes to her farm, she sees a string of empty beer cans all over the field. He just drinks them while he’s working and throws them on the ground when he’s done...I guess he was having trouble out of the limelight,” added Robert. “Ever since he came back from Los Angeles, everyone was saying that Chris got involved with other things besides drinking,” Robert continued. “I mean, it seems quite odd that he would run into the back of a tractor on a clear road, with no obstructions. He definitely was not in his right mind.” Coincidently, the farmland where Chris works is near the cornfield owned by the victim, Kenneth Mosher, who was killed in the reality star’s fatal hit-and-run crash.

Thank you so much for all your love and support. I've been reading every post, comment, and email and I can't thank you enough for sharing with me in this time. When we go through rough times it is life saving to know that we have people we can talk to about it. I have the most wonderful friends and people around me who care about me and help me through the crap I go through but I realize that not everybody has that and it scares me to think about what they do when they have drama in their life...because regardless of the degree of our troubles when we're in the midst of drama in our life - it's very real and our hearts hurt deeply. A couple of years ago I read this article in the USA Today and I still have the actual article but it gave some shocking statistics that have probably gotten worse. 25% of Americans have nobody they can confide in. This is heartbreaking. We need each other. We need close friends and we need to spend more time together and less time typing to each other. Make it a priority this week to get together with somebody in your life who is having a rough time. We all know of somebody and just love on them. Things escalate this time of year and to be alone and hurting can really crush people and you have no idea how you could change their life by simply being with them and sharing in some of their pain.

At Contrived State University in Anytown, Ohio, a new building was dedicated in March 2010 to house the College of Education. The 100,000-square-foot building has enough office space to accommodate 86 full-time faculty members and 167 full-time staff. In a fit of monetary excess, the university administration offered to buy new furniture (desks and chairs) and computer workstations for all faculty and staff members moving into the new building. However, to save on long-term energy and materials costs, the university offered to buy only 1 laser printer per 10 employees, with the plan to network the printers together. How many laser printers did the administration have to buy? It is rather simple to show that 26 laser printers are needed for all the employees. However, what if a chemist was calculating quantities for a chemical reaction? Interestingly enough, similar calculations can be performed for chemicals as well as laser printers. In filling a new office building with furniture and equipment, managers do calculations similar to those performed by scientists doing chemical reactions. We have already established that quantities are important in science, especially in chemistry. It is important to make accurate measurements of a variety of quantities when performing experiments. However, it is also important to be able to relate one measured quantity to another, unmeasured quantity. In this chapter, we will consider how we manipulate quantities to relate them to each other.

[Photograph seen on Manshion.] Here are some selected shorts. Apparently, I have no grand vision to impart to start the New Year. Orbit Trap has published several recent posts exploring the nature of fractal art, and Tim explicated an image by Guido Cavalcante and analyzed its artistic expression. In response, several commenters wondered why we haven’t provided more examples of work we consider to be fractal art rather than fractal craft. But a quick trip through OT’s archives will show many positive reviews. I think it’s safe to assume that if we complimented someone’s work, then we probably felt that work was an example of fractal art we admired. Here is a short list of fractal artists whose work we have praised in the years we’ve been blogging: Morgen Bell, Tamrof Boynton, Guido Cavalcante, Jock Cooper, Paul DeCelle, Manas Dichow, Stephen Ferguson, Terry W. Gintz, Earl L. Hinrichs, Rich Jarzombek, Simon Kane, Maria K. Lemming, Jos Leys, Elizabeth Mansco, Kerry Mitchell, Samuel Monnier, Philip Northover, O, Stacy Reed, Jürgen Schwietering, Bryan A. Smith, Fernanda Steele, Mark Townsend, Harmen Wiersma, and Dan Wills. As I say, this is an incomplete list, and OT’s archives contain more examples. So, I wish our adversaries, like Ken Childress, who persists on whining that we are whiners who mostly wallow in negativity, would finish their reading before beginning their writing. I think my favorite image of 2009 was this one: The Google Search Engine by Garth Thornton Orbit Trap also named Thornton our “Man of the Year” for the moral courage he showed over his resignation as a judge from the 2009 Benoit Mandelbrot Fractal Art Contest. Unlike two other fractal software authors, Thornton understood serving as a judge would create an inherent conflict of interest. The Ultra Fractal Mailing List was offline for over two weeks at the end of 2009. Naturally, given his customary penchant for secrecy, there was no explanation for the outage from the list manager. No one on the list had the temerity to ask why everything went dark; instead, once service returned, users blithely exchanged New Year’s greetings as if nothing had ever happened. I suppose one analogy would be to the power company. When the juice cuts out, you just sit tight semi-patiently for the lights to come back on. Either that, or UF List participants have read their Old Testament and know that questioning their provider-god tends to just annoy him and make him more prone to vengeance. Ice Cream from Neptune by Daniel White The latest “it” sensation in Fractaldom seems to be the 3-D Mandelbulb. Like the Buddhabrot craze of a few years back, the 3-D Mandelbulb doesn’t much excite me as it maybe should — probably because I’m more interested in processing fractal images than I am in rendering them. Still, it’s clear that many of the images of the Mandelbulb’s extrusion of the classic Mandelbrot set are impressive — especially these seen at Skytopia.

Inheriting property after a loved one’s passing can be a challenging time. But in Pakistan, a Succession Certificate or Letter of Administration can significantly ease the process for legal heirs – those who are entitled to inherit the deceased’s belongings. This certificate acts as official proof that you have the legal right to claim ownership. The great news is that since January 2021, NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority) has introduced a much faster way to obtain this certificate. You can now apply without ever stepping foot in a courtroom, freeing up the court system and making things simpler for everyone. This service is currently available in Islamabad, Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at the district level, with plans to expand to more areas soon. What Exactly is a Succession Certificate? This important document clarifies who the legal heirs are and confirms their ownership of both the movable and immovable assets left behind by the deceased. We can easily move movable assets from one place to another. Examples include cash, bank accounts, jewelry, vehicles, and furniture. Immovable assets, on the other hand, are fixed in place, like land or buildings. Benefits of the New NADRA System Firstly, the new system implemented by NADRA aims to make obtaining a Succession Certificate a smoother and more efficient experience. Here’s what you can expect: Secondly, the entire process is clear and straightforward, with no hidden steps or complexities. Furthermore, NADRA issues a digital certificate with robust security features to guarantee its authenticity and prevent misuse. Additionally, the certificate can be verified in real-time for added peace of mind. Moreover, legal heirs can now obtain the certificate without the hassle of lengthy court proceedings, saving them valuable time and stress. Finally, the Pakistani government prioritizes a smooth and positive experience for applicants during this difficult time. Do You Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers! Here are some frequently asked questions that might be on your mind: What’s the Difference Between a Succession Certificate and a Letter of Administration? Both documents essentially serve the same purpose – identifying legal heirs and their ownership of the deceased’s property. The specific term used might depend on the specific circumstances of the case. What is Movable Property? Movable property includes things you can easily move from one place to another, maintaining their original shape, size, quantity, and quality. Common examples include vehicles, books, utensils, shares, cash, bank accounts, weapons, jewelry, and more. For the latest information and a more comprehensive guide, be sure to visit the official NADRA website. They can provide you with detailed instructions and any updates on the program’s expansion to new regions. For legal help regarding a succession certificate, Contact Us.	CC-MAIN-2024-51
Zhi-Qiang Tao, Xiangnan Pan, Zi-Ling Zhang, Hong Chen, Li-Xia Li The largest normal stress excursion during contiguous turn time instants of the maximum torsional stress is presented as an innovative path-independent fatigue damage quantity upon the critical plane, which is further employed for characterizing fatigue damage under multiaxial loading. Via using the von Mises equivalent stress formula, an axial stress amplitude with equivalent value is proposed, incorporating the largest torsional stress range and largest normal stress excursion upon the critical plane. The influence of non-proportional cyclic hardening is considered within the presented axial equivalent stress range. Moreover, according to proposed axial equivalent stress amplitude, an energy-based damage model is presented to estimate multiaxial fatigue lifetime upon the critical plane. In order to verify the availability of the proposed approach, the empirical results of a 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy and En15R steel are used, and the predictions indicated that estimated fatigue lives correlate with the experimentally observed fatigue results well for variable amplitude multiaxial loadings.

Curious about buying a home? Not sure how a mortgage works or whether you’re ready? Wondering what you might qualify for? Freaked out by the process? Buying a house is a huge leap- some people describe themselves as scared, overwhelmed by the process, not sure where to start, or worried they won’t qualify. This workshop is designed to meet you where you are: even if that’s a few years away from making the leap. Together, Denise and Sierra will introduce the process, explaining the roles of real estate agent and lender, what you’ll need to have ready for each step: prequalification, making an offer, loan application, escrow, and closing. We’ll run through some real time scenarios with properties that are currently on the market, and would be happy to talk out any questions or scenarios that you’re going through. Registration is not required, and attending the workshop is not a commitment of any kind. Questions?

The annual Heart of Youth Community Powwow returns virtually after a one year hiatus due to COVID-19 on Friday, May 28, which is also Community Powwow Day in Prince Albert. Although the format is different, Elder Liz Settee is pleased to see it returning as a virtual event, “It’s good to keep the momentum of the Powwow going with the virtual Powwow although it’s definitely going to be different from Kinsmen Park,” Settee said “At least it is happening. We didn’t have anything last year. The committee thought that it was important that we do something this year,” Settee added. She is expecting to go through her regular emotions the day of the Powwow. “(I am) Very excited, also nervous, but I am also nervous the morning of the powwow. I think it is just part and parcel to putting on something so big,” Settee said. According to Settee, the organizing committee discussed holding the powwow at Kinsmen Park and had booked a tent for the occasion already. “ And then as the numbers went up it was ‘no, we have to find another way to do it,’ and so I canceled the tent and the other things that I already booked and we decided to go virtual and we found Big Drum Media,” she explained. She explained that for the production they wrote a script and had to space out the Grand Entry because of COVID-19 regulations. They will appear in the normal order of flags, committee and community members and then dancers, which was filmed over several hours by the production company. “It was all done at different times but it is going to look like it was all one.” The event was also recognized with an official proclamation of May 28 as Community Pow Wow Day at City Council’s regular meeting on Monday. Settee said that Mayor Greg Dionne has already passed on the Certificate of Proclamation for the day ahead of the meeting. “They are recognizing the day, they have already recognized that when the committee approached city council they all agreed this was important so it’s a done deal now,” she said. Settee said it was nice to receive such positive feedback from the city. The Powwow will be available on the PA Outreach and CBYF Prince Albert YouTube pages beginning at 9:35 a.m. with the sponsor roll and then the Powwow opens at 10 am. Settee hopes to see the Powwow return to normal next year. “This way we can keep everybody safe and next year I just hope and pray that we are back in Kinsmen Park. I think we are going to be stronger next year,” she said. “And I think being on YouTube with it reaching further and wider is going to help.”	CC-MAIN-2024-51

The Brief paper size has compact dimensions of 13.5 inches (343 mm) wide by 16 inches (406 mm) high, giving it a modest total surface area of 216 square inches. With its smaller, squarish proportions, Brief sheets are best suited to more concise documents and publications not needing expansive spreads. Given its name implying condensed brevity, historically Brief paper was widely utilized for legal briefs, treatises, pamphlets and other short publications where minimal pages were required to concisely state arguments or points. Its small yet rectangular shape also made Brief pages ideal for personal stationery, compact envelopes, index cards, flash cards and recipe cards needing only limited space while still allowing comfortable legibility. Unlike some other imperial paper sizes stemming from much larger master sheets, Brief's origins and legacy have always been as a petite format intended for diminutive but important purposes where minimal area would suffice. So whether for tersely worded legal briefs or study flash cards, Brief's compact rectangular form factor fills a niche for little yet practical paper applications.	CC-MAIN-2024-51
Gear Eye: MSN TV 2 - Engadget - www.engadget.com "We’re operating on a couple of assumptions here being that you’re reading Engadget: first is that overdrive-ease-of-use probably isn’t your number one priority, and second is that you’re probably not reading from a TV-based browser. That said, the MSN TV 2 a pretty well equipped, very easy to use TV-set top with a solid foundation of multimedia playing capabilities. About this much we can’t complain. So if you’re thinking about getting it for GM+GP [grandma + grandpa], no worries, it’s a pretty dead-lock. If they can learn some rudimentary concepts, this may be easier for them than a Mac. But if you’re thinking about getting this for yourself for the networked multimedia capabilities, move straight on and put your money into something more like Viewsonic’s new WMx series. If you want a decent all-around internet-capable machine and you don’t want to have to plunk down to buy a proper box (which, admittedly, would only be about $200 more for something pretty decent) then the MSN TV 2 may be for you; just don’t get your hopes up, web on the TV isn’t due to get really good until we’re all running HDTV and have hefty pipes from the Net to the home."

the mechanisms controlling LR asymmetry in the sea urchin are changed in comparison with chordates, utilising the convention the mouth is found on sides of embryos. Hence, our study supports the chance that DV inversion occurred within the chordate lineage. Below, we examine other crucial results from this study. Opposing BMP and Nodal Signals Get a handle on price Decitabine LR Axis Patterning We demonstrated that elevating often Nodal or BMP signaling resulted in the loss of one other signal. This mutual antagonism between Nodal and BMP signaling is seen during LR patterning in vertebrates. BMP signals are inhibited by nodal signaling in the left LPM of mouse embryos by activating the expression of noggin and chordin genes, which encode BMP antagonists. BMP signaling also offers been proven to prevent Nodal indicators in the proper LPM of zebrafish embryos, and mouse, chick by activating the expression of lefty genes that encode Nodal antagonists. The inhibition of BMP indicators by Nodal signaling has also been noticed in sea urchin embryos all through DV axis place. Nodal signaling in the oral ectoderm is required for the expression of Metastasis chordin, which limits BMP signals inside the aboral ectoderm. Nevertheless, we’re able to not discover any irregular LR expression of genes coding BMP antagonists, such as chordin, noggin, follistatin, dan, or gremlin in the sea urchin embryo. The second molecular system to describe the mutual antagonism between BMP and Nodal signaling is the direct opposition between the two signs for the limited quantity of the normal effector Smad4. Within the mouse embryo, BMP signaling has been shown to set a limit for Nodal signaling in the LPM by limiting Smad4 access. Micromere Derived Signals Get a grip on LR Asymmetry in Sea Urchin Embryos The repressive function of Nodal signaling on BMP in the sea urchin embryo is obvious considering that increasing or blocking Nodal signaling results in the loss of or bilateral pSmad staining in CPs, respectively. However, enzalutamide the results of BMP signaling on Nodal are difficult because growing and blocking BMP signaling both result in the loss of nodal expression. These results claim that BMP signaling is required for right sided nodal appearance in the sea urchin embryo. This positive function of BMP signaling on nodal gene expression has also been observed in vertebrates. In the absence of mouse embryonic BMP4, nodal appearance is lost in the left LPM. In chick embryos, implanting sometimes bmp2 expressing cells or BMP unhealthy beads inside the LPM increases nodal term. During the late segmentation stages of zebrafish embryos, BMP4 signaling is needed to activate the expression of the nodal related gene cyclops in the left LPM. Bmp genes are transcribed in the skeletogenic mesenchyme cells near the aboral apex of the larva, while we observed LR irregular BMP signaling with pSmad staining in the CPs in the sea urchin.

Fire on the Sea S.S. Patches, Down North to Labrador Fire on the Sea S.S. Patches, Down North to Labrador World War 2 conflict in the North Atlantic. Thomas C. Cummings Bryan S. Osborne (Editor) Mary B. Campeau (Editor) 6 X 9 inches, 108 pages The principal threat throughout is from German U-boats, but suspense and intrigue is added by having to combat onboard sabotage. While absurdities of war, conflict, and loss dominate the story line, the underlying allusions are to the beauty of iconic seascapes, comradeship, family values, and anti-war sentiments. Indeed, the final vision anticipates a utopian future for the principal characters and closes with a prediction of their living in peace on the land. Tom Cummings was born on the prairies of Manitoba in 1904; returning with his family to eastern Ontario in 1907, he spent his early years on a farm in Pittsburgh Township. After earning qualifications at North Bay Normal School and Queens University, T.C. commenced his teaching career in Eau Claire in Northern Ontario before establishing himself in what was to become his home, North Bay. There, he further developed his role as an educator, established his artistic insight of the North, embarked on decades of world-wide travel in his summer vacations, and rendered in art and poetry his ethnographic reactions to his travel experiences. The Second World War had a major influence on T.C. Not only did it introduce him to the new worlds of the North Atlantic, Newfoundland, and Labrador, but also to the verities of political violence, human suffering, and trauma. Returning to North Bay after the war, to his profession as an educator and to his passion as an adventurer, Cummings explored new stirrings of allegorical critiques that stemmed from stresses of war, crime, and social disruption. While still an artist and a poet, in his latter years T.C. mined this rich life-path in several literary ventures. Although his first fictive reflection on his rural past was Gopher Hills, Fire on the Sea is the most dramatic of his exercises in creative faction.	CC-MAIN-2024-51

What a disappointment the other week when the October Hope & Chances Charity kit ran out mid morning on the day that Christine posted it on her blog. First Sunday of the month early morning UK time. Bit of an involved story but some of us were so upset not to be able to support her wonderful work (plus the kit is absolutely gorgeous!), and then Christine very sweetly set to and made up a few more. The girl is amazing to put in so much time and effort raising money for various charities. Sadly she had run out of the circular sentiments but I recognised them as Craftwork Cards die cuts and knew I had some squirrelled away and was able to share with Kath from the Playground as well - someone else who'd missed out. The kits were sold in aid of MNDA - Motor Neuron Disease Association - yet another very worthwhile charity to support. Our Kath from the Playground has already published her card but I like to keep a record of cards I make so here's mine as well: It's self-explanatory and everything came in the kit apart from the sentiment circle, glue, sticky pads (I used thin ones for the sentiment circle) - and clear Wink of Stella which I used on the very deep red poinsettia flowers, a tip I picked up from Kath - along with some tiny little clear gems. In the end, Kath and I both bought two kits each (so perfect for special Christmas cards) and later I bought the last remaining one, rather then Christine be left with one unsold one (that's my excuse anyhow!). They even came with pretty silver envelopes to made them even more special. Then I went on a mission to find the Spellbinders gatefold die that Christine had used. I think it's from a Spellbinders Club issue and the set is called 'Many Thanks' - and in the end did track it down on eBay - in the USA! And there it will remain I'm afraid. The price wasn't too bad but apparently eBay control the onward freight of a lot of items and they wanted to charge me almost $40 for that alone on top of the cost of the die set! Daylight robbery surely! One tip if you do fancy buying Christine's Charity Kits - set your alarm for 7am UK time on the first Sunday of the month if you don't want to miss out. It was a close call this time. And, this card is for ScrappyMo's Rudolph Days Challenge for October 2020. Still a few days to go if you want to join in!	CC-MAIN-2024-51
UP IN SMOKE Confronted with a fresh purpose for a prominent corner site in Footscray, the pre-existing incongruent structure cried out for a substantial transformation. Drawing inspiration from the raw elements associated with an industrial environment, particularly those originating from a ‘smoker’—steel, mesh, coal, and timber—placeformspace seized the chance to revitalize the existing building amidst the challenging backdrop of Footscray’s bustling activity, heavy vehicular presence, and persistent noise. In response, the architectural intervention involved a comprehensive overhaul, effectively reshaping the structure and fortifying it like a resilient steel container. This contemporary design not only enhances the building’s scale but also encases it in a protective armor. The ultimate outcome is a formidable structure that encapsulates a harmonious blend of timber and charcoal interiors, seamlessly marrying industrial toughness with sophisticated aesthetics.
