October 1, 2021, Baton Rouge, La. — Honey bees could be intentionally bred to thrive on plants that are already locally present or even solely on artificial diets, according to a recent USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) study.
ARS researchers found individual bees respond differently to the same diet and that there is a strong genetic component involved in how they respond to nutrition. This points directly to the concept that managed bees can be intentionally bred to do better on different diets, whether you are talking about an artificial diet or a diet based on specific plants already growing in an area, explained lead researcher Vincent A. Ricigliano. He is with the ARS Honey Bee Breeding, Genetics, and Physiology Research Laboratory in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
“Urban development, modern agricultural systems and environmental alterations due to climate change, invasive plants, and even local landscaping preferences have all had a hand in regionalizing plants that dominate available pollen. It could potentially be more beneficial to tailor honey bees to do better on what is already available instead of working hard to fit the environment to the bees,” Ricigliano said.
The overall aim would be breeding to improve nutrient use by managed honey bees, like we have done for poultry and cattle breeding programs, Ricigliano explained.
“Now that we know there is room for genetic adaptation to diet, we could also look at breeding honey bees with improved nutrient efficiency or identifying genotype biomarkers that respond to various supplements to promote honey bee health,” he added.
In most commercial apiaries, honey bees do not have the opportunity to naturally breed to adapt to local conditions because commercial beekeepers typically replace the queen in each colony every year. The queen in a colony is the only bee that lays eggs to produce the next generation.
Beekeepers usually purchase new queens already inseminated from a handful of queen breeders in the United States. As a result, honey bees across the country generally have the same range of genes for nutritional responses without any specialized adaptation.
Honey bees have already been successfully bred for a very few selected traits, among them varroa mite resistance. Varroa mites are among the single largest problem afflicting honey bees in the United States today.
“It was a little surprising to find when we started this study that, despite a sizable body of research pertaining to honey bee nutrition, relatively little is known about the effects of genetic variation on nutritional response,” Ricigliano said.
His next step is to refine knowledge about what genes control which nutrient and metabolic pathways and where the greatest amount of genetic variation exists so that breeding plans can be specific and scientifically guided.

Cuban police detained at least seven people on Tuesday immediately following the funeral service of Oswaldo Payá, a leading opposition figure who died in a car crash on Sunday. Shouting anti-government slogans, Guillermo Fariñas and other activists were detained upon exiting the San Salvador Catholic Church in Havana. Fariñas has staged hunger strikes to protest the state repression of dissidents; in 2010, he won the European Union’s Sakharov human rights award, which was granted to Payá in 2002.
According to official accounts, Payá and another dissident, Harold Cepero Escalante, died when their car hit a tree travelling near the town of Bayamo, in eastern Cuba. However, a number of dissidents—including some arrested on Tuesday—have raised suspicions of foul play. Payá’s 23-year-old daughter, Rosa Maria Payá, questioned the official version of the death in a speech at the funeral.
Payá is best known for launching a petition known as the Varela Project to call for greater civil liberties in Cuba, including the right of assembly and freedom of expression. Following the funeral service, Payá’s son said that his father had received multiple death threats over his career as a dissident, especially after the Valera Project.

Hallowell, Maine – February 28, 2017 – Blue Marble Geographics (bluemarblegeo.com) is pleased to announce the immediate availability of an update to the Global Mapper LiDAR Module. Released in conjunction with Global Mapper version 18.1, Blue Marble’s popular GIS software, the latest edition of the Module includes a powerful LiDAR QC function; a new option for visualizing and filtering a point cloud based on density; and a tool for assigning colors to LiDAR points from an underlying gridded layer.
For over two decades, Blue Marble’s affordable, user-friendly GIS software has been meeting the needs of hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers throughout the world. Users come from all industries including software, oil and gas, mining, civil engineering, surveying, and technology companies, as well as government departments and academic institutions.
The Global Mapper LiDAR Module is an optional add-on to the software providing numerous advanced point cloud management and analysis tools, including automatic ground point detection and classification; feature extraction; cross-sectional viewing and point editing; significantly faster terrain surface generation; and much more.
Version 18.1 of the Module introduces a new feature for assessing and adjusting the vertical accuracy of LiDAR or point cloud data. This Quality Control function calculates the difference between the elevation at known ground control points and the elevation values associated with nearby LiDAR points. An interpolated vertical offset can subsequently be applied to the entire point cloud.
Also added in the latest release is an option to apply colors to the point cloud that reflect the local point density. This density calculation is assigned as an attribute to each point in the layer and can be used to filter the data or to create a density grid reflecting point clustering within the extent of the point cloud.
The LiDAR Module now includes an option to add the colors from an underlying gridded raster layer, such as an NDVI grid or land cover layer, as an attribute for each point. A new LiDAR statistics function generates a detailed report of the characteristics of selected points, such as those that fall within a defined boundary. This information includes the overall elevation range, the number of points assigned to each LiDAR class, and the number and percentage of returns types such as first of many, second of many, etc.
"Over the last several years, Global Mapper’s point cloud processing capabilities have captured the attention of the LiDAR community," stated Blue Marble’s President, Patrick Cunningham. "At a fraction of the cost of comparable software, the LiDAR Module adds value to any point cloud data with its filtering and automatic reclassification tools. With the introduction of the LiDAR QC function, the Module has further established itself as a must-have for anyone working with LiDAR data."
Current users of Global Mapper can activate a free two-week trial of the LiDAR Module from the Module/Extension License Manager in the software. To download a trial of the standard version of Global Mapper, visit: www.bluemarblegeo.com/products/global-mapper.php.

AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
The Joint Security Team in Kogi State has killed a notorious criminal, Kabir Bala, linked to the death of the woman leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, Salome Abu.
The state Commissioner of Police, Akeem Yusuf, while addressing newsmen on Thursday, said Bala met his Waterloo at Ejule, in the Ofu Local Government Area of the state on Wednesday.
He said, “It would be recalled that the Kogi State Government, in October 2018, granted pardon in the prerogative of mercy as part of rehabilitation to one notorious gang leader named Kabir Bala, aka Okwo, in Ejule, Ofu LGA.
“However, the said Kabir Bala remained an unrepentant criminal with lots of atrocities traced to him which includes dealing in illegal arms, kidnappings and killings in the state.
“Several cases had been traced to him such as the burning alive of Mrs Salome Abu, a PDP woman leader in Olu LGA, in her residence on November 2015, at Ochadamu, and the killing of two gala youths, Umoru Abeh and Unerwu Sule on April 20, 2022, at Ejule.”
Yusuf explained that Bala also killed five Fulani herders including Ibrahim, Haruna and Shuaibu Wang on Alloma Road, in the Ofu LGA in April 2022, and Muhammed and Dauda on March 3, 2023.
He said, “Other crimes committed by Kabir Bala and his gang included an attack on troops of the Nigerian Navy and dispossessing them of four rifles at the Alloma village on March 4, 2022. However, the firearms were later returned to the Navy following a high-powered intervention.
“Attack on Elisha Aya, a pastor and founder of the Kingdom Faith Assembly, Ejule, on March 18, 2022, who later paid N1m to Bala as a levy for establishing a church; invasion of Egane Fulani settlement; burning of 213 huts; rustled 122 cows on December 25, 2022, and assault on the Lord’s Chosen Church, Ejule, on January 29, 2023, for disturbing his hotel with their service, during which a worshipper, Joy Abuh, sustained a gunshot injury on her left hand.”
The police boss said Bala was also responsible for seven kidnappings along Itobe-Anyigba Highway from May 5 to 28, 2023.
According to him, based on the above facts, the decision reached at the state security council meeting held on June 20, 2023, that the state pardon granted to Bala in 2018 be revoked immediately while security agencies must go after him and arrest him immediately for prosecution alongside known accomplices.
He added, “Joint operations should be set up comprising the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy, Nigeria Police, DSS, and Civil Defence, to go after Kabir Bala and his gang to arrest them and recover the arms in their possession.
“Today, June 22, 2023, around 04.30am in pursuit of Kabir Bala and his gang members, on sighting the joint security team, opened fire on them and started shooting sporadically.
“The team engaged the hoodlums and Kabir Bala was neutralised in the process while other members of his gang escaped with varying degrees of injury.”
He said items recovered from his premises included one AK 47 rifle with three fully loaded magazines, six locally-fabricated weapons and two phones and charms.
He noted that the ongoing onslaught against criminal activities would be sustained to ensure the safety of lives and properties in the state.

A monarch in the UK reigns, but does not rule. Queen Elizabeth II is the head of the country as well as of fifteen other independent Commonwealth countries, which form British Commonwealth of Nations. The queen is the official head of executive, legislative and courts, army and Church.
The full royal title of the Queen is: Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of this Realm and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. The monarchy is hereditary, the succession passing automatically to the oldest male child, or in the absence of males, to the oldest female offspring of the monarch.
Three roles of the monarch are often mentioned. First, the monarch is the personal embodiment of the government of the country and guarantees its stability. Second, it is argued that the monarch is a possible final check on a government that is becoming dictatorial. Third, the monarch has a very practical role to play. By being a figurehead and representative of the country, she or he can perform the ceremonial duties which heads of the state often have to spend their time on. This way, the real government has more time to get on with the actual job of running the country.
The real importance of the British monarchy is probably less to do with the system of government and more to do with social psychology and economics, as it attracts many tourists visiting the country. The monarchy also gives British people a symbol of continuity. On the other hand, the one aspect of the monarchy about which most people feel consistently negative is how much it costs. Concerning the future of the monarchy, most people are either vaguely in favour, or they just don´t care one way or another.

Do you know the warning signs of frostbite or hypothermia? Completing construction projects in cold weather can present a number of health concerns for your crew. Make sure your construction site is prepared to handle the cold temperatures this season.
[bctt tweet=”Working in freezing temperatures can be dangerous! Avoid frostbite with these tips for your construction workers!” username=”HSIServicesInc”]
Because of skin numbness, most people won’t realize they’re suffering from frostbite unless someone were to point it out. For construction workers, this can be very dangerous. As the manager of your company, how are you planning to help your team avoid frostbite? This winter, it should be your top priority to keep your workers warm and safe on your job site.
Make Training a Priority
The first step to avoiding frostbite or any injury is through proper training. From identifying what clothes to wear to knowing how to recognize a problem, colder weather presents a number of new concerns. Even the healthiest workers can suffer from frostbite or hypothermia; preparing your whole team to watch out for warning signs will protect you from further harm. Hire a professional or enroll your team in a class to teach them the health-related risks.
Wear Appropriate Clothing
Out of all of the ways to protect yourself from cold weather, the right construction gear is the most beneficial. Make sure your team has the right clothing to protect against freezing winter air and snow. From hard hats with liners to waterproof jackets, your clothing is the first defense against cold weather. Keep your team protected by providing the appropriate uniform for working in cool temperatures.
Provide Dry and Heated Break Areas
The risk of frostbite and hypothermia is heightened in areas that contain moisture or dampness. Between bridge-building and pipeline construction, the majority of worksites have water in or surrounding them. Protect your workers by allowing regular breaks and providing warm, dry areas to rest. With a portable heater and inflatable cofferdam, you can easily turn your job site into a suitable place for anyone to work.
Pro Tip: Dewatering is the process of removing water from a construction site for better application in construction sites. Invest in a water-barrier for your job site to keep surrounding water under control.
The Importance of Winter Construction Safety
From freezing equipment to slippery work conditions, construction in cold weather can put your workers at risk for trench foot, frostbite, or hypothermia. Without the proper safety measures, your project won’t be completed in time and your workers will get injured. This winter, prepare your job site for the various weather elements that occur.
Is your construction site prepared for the winter? Join the conversation on social media!

Remembering The SuperSonics World Championship
So far, attempts to bring the SuperSonics back to Seattle have fallen short. Fans might be a little down, but 34 years ago the Sonics really gave us something to cheer about.
In 2008 Clay Bennett took the SuperSonics to Oklahoma City and changed the name to The Thunder. After 41 seasons in Seattle, the NBA team was gone. KJR Sports Radio host “Softy” blamed then-mayor Greg Nickels.
In a radio interview Softy asked Nickels why, over the previous 10 years, there had been such a lack of interest in attending Sonics games. “I would say that in the last 10 years this has not been a very fun team to watch,” responded Nickels.
Mayor Nickels was right. The Sonics hadn’t been very much fun to watch for a long time. In fact, to find real thrills you have to go back to Friday, June 1, 1979.
That night, two games were underway at the same time. At the Kingdome in Seattle, the Mariners were partway through another lackluster baseball season. They were playing expansion-team rivals the Toronto Blue Jays as 5,000 ambivalent fans looked on.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the country the Sonics were playing perhaps the most exciting game in the history of the team: the NBA World Championship.
Seattle was up three games to one in the series against the Washington Bullets in Landover, Md. It was a close game.
As the fourth quarter wound down, “Voice of the Sonics” Bob Blackburn brought home all the action. In the Kingdome, they actually halted the baseball game. Everyone, even the players on the field, stopped what they were doing and looked up at the big screen to watch the Sonics. Bob Blackburn, the “Voice of the Sonics” brought home all the action as he counted down the final seconds.
“Five, four — pass to Gus Williams — three, two, one; and the Supersonics win their first ever NBA Championship! The ball sails high in the air,” shouted Blackburn over the roaring crowd. “The Sonics are ecstatic. The horns are honking around the Pacific Northwest.”
Sonics fans everywhere cheered the victory. But for Mariner fans there were still a few more innings to go. The home team scored a couple more runs and beat the Blue Jays seven to two. Meanwhile, right outside the Kingdome, Pioneer Square filled with revelers as a big celebration got underway.
The next day the Sonics came home to a hero’s welcome at SeaTac and then a parade downtown that drew 300,000 fans. NBA officials gave the team a golden trophy, and the mayor read a proclamation:
“I, Charles Royer, Mayor of the City, etcetera, do hereby proclaim Monday, June 4, as ‘Sonics Day’ in Seattle.”
But the Sonics’ days are done and so is the Kingdome. About the only things left from 1979 are the Mariners still struggling. And that golden NBA trophy? Currently it’s in storage at the Museum of History and Industry.

I made the decision to be in only one fiber club this year, the Sheepspot Breed Club with the addition of the Breed School – it cost a little bit more, but what I am learning is invaluable.
The second installment was Montadale that Sasha got at MDSW. I saw the fiber there and it was lovely! I was thrilled to learn that I would have the opportunity to try this fiber. The fiber was dyed beautifully – I selected the Autumn Wedding colorway. The fiber was processed nicely, although there were a few bits that appeared to be second cuts. I am not sure, but they were easy to remove and I had less than a dozen of them in the first braid. However, these bits did not impede my spinning in anyway at all; I was able to maintain good consistency by removing them as I spun.

Footprint, an Arizona-based materials science technology company known for its plant-based packaging, will make its market debut by merging with blank-check firm Gores Holdings VIII. The deal is expected to value Footprint, ranked No. 46 on this year’s CNBC Disruptor 50 list, at $1.6 billion following the SPAC merger’s completion.
SPACs — or special purpose acquisition companies — raise capital from public markets and use that cash to merge with a private company, with the goal of taking the company public within a two-year period. There was an explosion in SPAC deals earlier this year, but there are indications the space is cooling down. Still, valuations have gained as money managers are also increasingly factoring in ESG policies in their investments.
Founded in 2014 by two former Intel engineers, Footprint develops and manufactures alternative solutions to single- and short-term-use plastic. Its sustainable products are designed with the entire product lifecycle in mind, and are made from 100% bio-based, biodegradable, compostable and recyclable fibers. That not only reduces unnecessary waste from entering the environment, but it also reduces exposure to toxic chemicals found in plastic.
“With corporations, regulators and consumers alike increasingly demanding high-quality, sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic, foam and other products, Footprint’s solutions are capitalizing on a growing $315 billion annual market opportunity that is converting to environmentally friendly solutions as quickly as possible,” the companies said in a press release statement.
Footprint says its plant-based fiber bowls, clamshell containers, trays, cups and other consumer packaging products have already eliminated more than 61 million pounds of plastic. They’re in some of the country’s biggest supermarkets, including Walmart, Target, Costco, Whole Foods, Albertsons’ Safeway, Kroger, Fry’s, Aldi, Wegmans and Trader Joe’s.
And the company is collaborating with major brands, including newly public Sweetgreen, McDonald’s, Kraft Heinz, Tyson Foods, Beyond Meat, Chick-fil-A, Dunkin, Panera Bread and True Food Kitchen.
In July, the company also entered into an agreement with the Phoenix Suns, re-naming the NBA team’s home complex to Footprint Center, while also working with the sports team to eliminate single-use plastic and test new technologies at their facility.
Footprint and the Suns are aiming to get fans involved, from videos talking about sustainability and how to manage their trash on the giant scoreboard during games, to encouraging people to sign up for a climate pledge initiative to cut plastics from their lives. The Suns will also encourage players to take part in the pledge, as well as other entertainers who perform in the arena.
Footprint is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq in the first half of 2022 under ticker symbol “FOOT.”

There are many advantages of using marble tiling in your home. In this post we will discuss two of them: durability and easiness to clean.
When it comes to choosing tile, durability is a major factor especially when choosing to tile in high traffic areas. Marble tiles are exactly that. They are durable. At only 10 millimeters thick, marble floor tiles are more durable than many other flooring options. For example, travertine tile needs to be at least 3 centimeters thick to use as flooring in high traffic areas and they are still not recommended to use in such areas. Because of the durability, marble is used frequently in hallways, kitchen and bathroom floors, countertops, and more.
Easy to clean:
Marble tile is very easy to clean and keep clean. Many people choose black marble because of the beauty and classic look it brings to the home. However, because it is black and shiny it does not hide dirt. This would be a factor to not choose this color of tile, but with how easy it is to clean it is not a drawback. In order to clean the tile all you need to do is use a sponge and warm, soapy water. This will clean the tiles very well. However, if you feel that you want or need a deeper clean there are special stone tile cleaners you can purchase.
With just these two advantages alone, marble tile has become a very popular choice when remodeling or decorating your home. Durability allows for homeowners to no longer worry about needing to constantly replace tiles due to cracking or simple wear and tear. Ease of cleaning allows homeowners to not stress and dread cleaning the house. No individual enjoys spending the day scrubbing the kitchen tiles when the day could be enjoyed relaxing outside in the sun. Not only do you save time with cleaning and money with the decrease in repairs, but you now get to enjoy coming home to a beautifully decorated house.

There’s nothing more embarrassing for moms than when their kid puts on the performance of a lifetime in a crowded store, whaling and screaming in octaves that could break glass. Instead of raging back, pleading for them to shut up or acting like it’s some other lady’s kid- there are ways to constructively deal with those less than pleasant displays of anger.
Know that a tantrum is just the pure expression of anger, and that anger is an emotion. An emotion is a pure physical sensation in the body. Look at the word “emotion.” It is “e” (energy) in motion. Move the energy out constructively and the tantrum will quickly pass.
According to Attitude Reconstruction, these five tips will funnel the child’s anger in a physical and constructive way, as well as help parents get control over their own emotional reaction:
- Be a good role model so your child sees that it IS appropriate to get angry but that you express it in a way that does not damage other people or things of value. That means no yelling, swearing, or finger pointing. That is not a constructive or effective way to truly dissolve anger.
- At a neutral time, talk about anger with your child, how the sensation feels in his or her body, and show them how to express it constructively and physically. Together decide on the best way for them to safely express frustration (anger) whether it’s stomping around the room like King Kong, kicking cardboard boxes, or lying on a bed and kicking and flailing. Practice together so they get the idea and get the equipment together.
- Agree on a safe place for them to express their anger. A playroom, bedroom, bathroom, garage, car; any place is good as long as they know that’s where they go to release their emotions safely and freely.
- When tempers or hysterics escalate, lovingly escort them to their chosen location. Don’t make fun of them, tease, name call, or make demeaning comments while they’re releasing their anger (or in general). Doing so will only fuel anger’s fire and create misery for everyone. Be there just to witness and acknowledge they’re just feeling angry, and it’s okay.
- This is not the time to be instructional or educational. No lecturing or trying to teach them a lesson. After they have expressed their emotion, validate how well they did.
After moving the pure physical sensation out of the body and things have returned to a rational state, then it’s time to talk and listen. At this point you both should both be calm enough to look for the learnings. You’ll be amazed at how much more peace, love, and respect it brings into the household (or grocery store).

Find out why indigenous people don’t like getting too close to this tree. If you are becoming too emotionally rigid, stuck in your ways or not open to change then this will be a wonderful essence to work with.
Body Beautiful cream
Over the years the Body Beautiful cream has been my go-to moisturiser. Its texture is smooth and moisturising, whilst not oily. It’s beautiful and it makes me feel beautiful. The days when I'm harsh on myself, the flower essences have helped ease my inner critic. I’ve noticed I feel more comfortable in my skin and am gentler and more accepting of myself. I am so grateful I have found such a nourishing skin moisturiser while also supporting my emotional wellbeing.

I recently did the White Light essence workshop in Adelaide with Ian White. During the Earth Essence meditation I got a very strong message to give the Earth Essence to my dad (who suffers from Alzheimer’s). I spoke to Ian about giving dad the Earth Essence without first giving him the Water Essence (as 'instructed' in the meditation). Ian said to trust my intuition, so I went ahead and gave my dad the Earth Essence.
Here is what happened:
I arrived at mum and dad's house ready to take mum on a drive to the beach (they live in the Adelaide hills) and to visit her sister. Dad was sitting in the kitchen, looking out at the garden. I asked him how he was feeling, and he replied, that he was feeling a bit anxious. This often occurs as he has very low oxygen. I gave him a squirt of Earth Essence, (he is quite used to me giving him some kind of essence, and is very open to them). Mum got ready to go out, and then said she was ready to go. Suddenly, Dad said he wanted to come with us. Now this was a complete surprise for us, as we have been asking him to accompany us on many a journey over the past two years, and he has only left the house to attend his 80th birthday picnic at the local park, and to attend one of his sister’s funeral. We gladly arranged for him to come with us! He seemed to enjoy the drive, and the views of the sea during our drive along the esplanade at Brighton and sat listening to the conversation over a cuppa at my auntie's house. He was a bit concerned about the time but didn't get too stressed about it. On our arrival home, he went back to his place at the kitchen table and asked a lot of questions about where we had been.
The following day I had arranged for my children and I to meet my mum in the city and go to the art gallery. She caught the bus to town and we greeted her at the bus stop - and my dad! He had decided to come on another outing!
Since then, he has accompanied mum or other family members on many outings and has been to church regularly (something that he has done for all of his life but had given up in the last few years). We have seen a new lease of life in him and are thankful that he is no longer sitting at home on his own, but coming with us, seeing his children and grandchildren and getting his feet on the earth again!
Thanks again to God and to Ian White for the White Light Essences!

I have had at least three cases - myself included – where I watched Bauhinia change people’s attitudes towards computers and related technology. It helped them in successfully studying and even enjoying and looking forward to their next computer lesson. Whereas previously there was resistance and rejection of the idea of ‘having to deal with this ugly, impersonal, cold thing which can cause nothing but headaches’. In all these cases – older people - there was the accompanying belief that they were ‘too old to start with something so different from what they knew’, or ‘had not developed the sort of intelligence’ that was needed for ‘entering the world of technology’ and subsequently, the study and the use of things like computers. The change was so immediate and so apparent that they called Bauhinia ‘the magic Essence’. Besides the above results, I witness subtle changes happening with this Essence in the behaviour and the consciousness of people who have become ‘arteriosclerotic’ in their view of certain issues, or of life in general.

On 29 May all open-air pools may open.
With the third relaxation phase of the corona measures, the open-air pools may open on 29 May. Safety measures are still in place despite the opening. Only one person per ten square metres may stay in the sunbathing area, except bathers living in a common household. Spaces of six square meters are prescribed in the pool. In changing rooms, showers and slides, a distance of one metre must be maintained between persons. Longer waiting times must be taken into account when using the water slides.
Guidance systems should enable the distance rules to be adhered to.
The maximum number of people allowed in the pool should be signposted. Washing hands is just as important as mouth-and-nose protection in the entrance area, changing rooms, boxes and sanitary facilities. Mouth-nose protection does not apply to damp areas such as showers and the swimming pools. Children and all those persons who cannot reasonably be expected to wear the mask are also excluded.
If possible, tickets should be sold online. In most cases there will be a kind of traffic light system to see if there are still enough place available.

The Commission calls on citizens to continue to behave responsibly.
According to the EU Commission, there is no quick solution in sight for the corona crisis through vaccination. “It will still take months before a vaccine is found and distributed,” said Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic on Wednesday in the European Parliament in Brussels. Nobody knows today when the pandemic will finally be over.
He appealed to citizens to help contain the pandemic by their behaviour. “Nobody in Europe wants a second lockdown,” said Sefcovic. “Therefore I call on all European citizens to behave responsibly.”
Among other things, the EU Commission is busy concluding preliminary agreements for all EU countries on possible future vaccines. In addition to the three already publicly known contracts, three more are in the final phase, said Sefcovic.

Optical technology has made remarkable strides, transforming industries and enabling cutting-edge applications. In this comprehensive overview, we will delve into the world of optics, exploring various types such as Micro, Laser, Freeform, Infrared (IR), and Polymer Optics. Each type serves unique purposes and applications, showcasing the versatility and significance of optics in modern-day technology.
Micro optics are exceptionally small optical systems, typically measuring from a few micrometers to a millimeter in size. These tiny optical components encompass a range of elements, including micro-scale optical fibers, mini diffractive optical elements, micro optical mirrors, lenses, prisms, and arrays of lenses.
Laser optics encompass all elements and systems used within lasers, manipulating and transmitting laser light. Compared to standard imaging optics, they demand even more stringent requirements on surface quality and coatings. They must exhibit high surface quality and low optical losses, while maintaining high laser damage thresholds for applications involving high-energy pulsed lasers.
Freeform optics deviate from symmetrical optical axes and offer advantages in correcting multiple aberrations with fewer surfaces, resulting in more compact and lightweight systems. These components find extensive applications in fields like illumination, aerospace, biomedical engineering, green energy, optical imaging, and the automotive industry.
Microwave plates, also known as microwave waveplates or microwave retarders, manipulate microwave radiation polarization. They’re made of anisotropic materials, changing refractive indices based on polarization. Microwave radiation passing through them undergoes a controllable phase shift, allowing precise polarization control. They are essential in telecommunications, radar, and scientific research for signal processing and analysis.
Micro Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter (Micro PBS) is a device designed to divide a laser beam into two distinct polarization beams. Typically employed in fiber optic communication systems, the Micro PBS serves as a fundamental element in various applications, including polarization management, polarization beam combining, and optical interleaving.
Microspheres offer a practical solution for channeling light into or out of optical fibers and transmitting images within confined spaces. The inherent advantage of microspheres lies in their capability to achieve near-perfect coupling due to the exceptionally close proximity of their focal point to the sphere’s surface.
Infrared optics play a pivotal role in capturing and manipulating infrared light, expanding applications in various domains. Avantier offers an array of quality infrared optics, including lenses, prisms, windows, mirrors, and laser and imaging assemblies.
Polymer optics, also known as plastic optics, represent a specialized category made from highly transparent organic polymer materials. Avantier excels in manufacturing high-quality polymer optical components and lens assemblies for diverse applications.
Axicon lenses: These lenses are special cone-shaped optical components used as beamshapers, primarily in laser applications. At Avantier, we produce custom axicons for high performance optical assemblies.
A Powell lens is a laser line generator and can be used to convert laser beams into uniform straight laser lines, fanning out collimated beams in one dimension. At Avantier, we produce custom Powell lenses for a wide variety of clients.
From the micro-scale wonders to the precision of laser systems, the design flexibility of freeform optics, the unveiling of the infrared spectrum, and the innovation of polymer optics – optical technology continues to drive advancements across multiple fields, shaping a brighter and clearer future.

A United Airlines Boeing 737-900 operating from Chicago to San Francisco made a precautionary return to Chicago after experiencing a cabin pressurization issue on 3 July 2024.
United Airlines flight UA343, a Boeing 737-900 out of Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) reported a cabin pressurisation problem whilst still in the climb after departing from Chicago.
United Airlines UA343 Chicago-San Francisco
The climb was terminated and the descent made to 10,000 feet. Flight crew then negotiated a direct return to Chicago O’Hare.
The flight subsequently landed without further incident approximately one hour after its initial departure.
The FAA subsequently confirmed the incident, stating that the aircraft returned to Chicago O’Hare International Airport where it landed around noon local time on Wednesday, July 3.
The aviation regulator confirmed that it would now investigate the reported pressurization issue resulting in the division at reduced altitude.
Flight data shows that United flight UA343 had departed Chicago at 11:01 local time, bound for San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
The flight had set course normally and climbed to flight level FL280 (28,000 feet), before flight crew discontinued the climb.
The aircraft was transiting Illinois airspace near Moline when the return course for Chicago was initiated.
Having descended to 10,000 feet due to the pressurization problem, the flight then continued at reduced altitude to Chicago O’Hare.
A replacement aircraft was mustered to carry out the onwards service to San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
All the aircraft conducting the UA343 service to San Francisco was a Boeing 737-900ER, registered N69830. This is a 10.1 year old narrowbody aircraft belonging to the US carrier United Airlines.
It has been in operational service with the airline since its initial delivery in June 2014.

Ichetucknee Head Spring (my photo) |
I originally wrote this article for the website of the Ichetucknee Alliance when I was working for that nonprofit organization as their communications coordinator. The article has disappeared from the Alliance's website, so I am republishing it here.
The Barriers & Some Suggestions About How to Break Them (continued from part 1)
Barrier #4: State Funding Priorities. There are at least four large problems with state funding priorities.
The first problem is that state funding is being wasted on ineffective projects that do not target major water users and major polluters. This is explained in the 2021-2022 Springs Funding Report by the Florida Springs Council (FSC) here: https://www.floridaspringscouncil.org/funding
Water management districts are either unable or unwilling to propose cost effective springs restoration projects that target the major sources of nutrient pollution. Springs funding is being wasted on ineffective projects, some of which are reported to have no benefit to spring water quality or flow. Legislation should be passed to allow other entities, like the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) and accredited land trusts, to directly submit project proposals to the Department of Environmental Protection for consideration for springs restoration funding. (from page 1 in FSC's report)
Other excellent recommendations for change are listed in FSC’s report, including (from page 2), “Stop preempting local rules and ordinances to improve water quality and reverse previously passed state preemptions.”
The second problem is that state funding priorities neglect North Florida, which has a smaller population and therefore fewer voters than South Florida. South Florida always receives more state funding for water issues.
Barrier Breaker. Given that North Florida’s springs—the largest concentration of springs in the world—is a priceless treasure every bit as important ecologically as the Florida Everglades, funding for water issues should be evenly divided between the two halves of the state, not allocated on the basis of population.
The third problem is that funding is usually allocated to fix problems rather than to prevent those problems from occurring. Lessons learned from Florida’s Everglades have made it abundantly clear that it is easier and cheaper to prevent problems than it is to fix them after they’ve occurred.
Barrier Breaker. The role of Florida’s water managers needs to be reframed legally and conceptually from “problem fixers” to “problem preventers.”
The fourth problem is that state agencies mask ineffective actions to protect natural systems by claiming to spend large amounts of money on protection, while, at the same time, failing to take effective actions such as limiting water use and insisting that pollution be controlled at its source.
Barrier Breakers. Floridians must realize that at their core, our water problems are political problems. Florida voters must insist upon effective actions by electing officials and representatives with strong histories of environmental advocacy and action—candidates who are willing to bring people together to agree that tough decisions are needed, who are willing to make those tough decisions, and who are able to lead by inspiring people to make the changes needed to manifest a new vision for living with Florida’s waters.
Barrier #5: Water Pricing. For rural residents on wells, water is free except for the cost to install and maintain the well and the power required to draw the water. There are no price incentives other than those costs for rural residents to conserve water, although urban and suburban residents on municipal water systems pay fees for their water.
Barrier Breaker: Tiered water pricing for all water users would address inequities in water pricing and encourage stronger efforts at water conservation.
Barrier #6: Lack of a Compelling Vision for the Health of Florida’s Natural Water Systems. It’s been said that if a foreign country were doing to our natural water systems what the State of Florida is allowing to happen to them, we’d be at war. That statement has the ring of truth when you consider that the Howard T. Odum Florida Springs Institute has documented over 20 years of springs health declines; see especially pages 4 and 19 here:
Barrier Breaker: Florida needs an overall vision to guide water management decisions and the ways we all live with water. We like this vision, below.
Realizing that the health of its people, economy and natural water systems are interconnected, Florida will restore, preserve and protect those natural water systems and will become an international model of wise water use.
What are your ideas for a new water vision for Florida?

More than 150,000 people have been moved from the path of a powerful cyclone that is due to make landfall in India and Pakistan on Thursday.
Cyclone Biparjoy, which means “disaster” in Bengali, is expected to devastate houses and crops in its path, according to forecasters.
Biparjoy is anticipated to make its maiden appearance in India’s Gujarat state on Thursday evening, local time.
Heavy rains, high tides, and stormy waves were seen from the state’s shore.
The storm is scheduled to make landfall between 16:00 [10.30 GMT] and 20:00 local time near the Jakhau port between Mandvi in Gujarat and Keti Bandar in Pakistan’s Sindh province.
Storm surges as high as 3-4m (10-13ft) were predicted along Pakistan’s coastline from Karachi to India’s Gujarat.
According to Gujarat’s Relief Commissioner Alok Pandey, the cyclone’s speed has decreased, but its winds were projected to reach about 110-12 km/h at the time of impact, which he described as “very dangerous.”
The Indian Meteorological Department has warned that the cyclone may cause damage to roads, thatched dwellings, electrical towers, and trees along Gujarat’s coast.
Rushikesh Patel, the state’s health minister, advised residents to remain inside and avoid travel. “Our goal is to have no casualties,” he stated.
This week’s severe rains in India claimed the lives of at least seven people.
Two children were crushed by a crumbling wall, while a lady on a motorbike was injured by a falling tree, according to the AFP news agency.
The storm is likely to hit the coast of Sindh province in Pakistan. Authorities have already evacuated 81,000 people from the south-eastern shore, and 75 relief camps have been established in schools.
Sherry Rehman, Pakistan’s climate change minister, stated that while Karachi, the province’s largest metropolis with a population of more than 20 million, was not under immediate threat, emergency steps were being implemented.
Meteorologists have warned that high tides might inundate low-lying coastal regions.
Since Wednesday, some areas of coastal Gujarat have seen torrential rainfall and high-speed winds.
Strong gusts and choppy seas were recorded at Mandvi on Thursday morning.
The normally lively Jakhau Port appeared desolate since the whole hamlet around the beach had been moved.
According to Gujarat state officials, 67,000 people have been evacuated from coastal locations.
Several railway services in Gujarat have been discontinued, and the ports of Kandla and Mundra, two of India’s largest, have ceased operations, according to officials.
Fishing has been suspended throughout the Gujarat coast, while fishermen in Pakistan’s coastline region have been advised to avoid the ocean.
Six national disaster relief teams have been sent for relief operations in crucial districts of Gujarat’s Kutch region. Depending on the severity of the storm, they will prioritize ensuring that vital services stay undamaged or are restored as quickly as possible.
Biparjoy is expected to “fall in intensity” after crossing, according to the India Meteorological Department.
In the Indian Ocean, cyclones, also known as hurricanes in typhoons in the Northwest Pacific and North Atlantic, are a common and devastating occurrence. Rising surface temperatures over the Arabian Sea in recent years have rendered the surrounding regions even more vulnerable to severe storms as a result of climate change.
The most recent severe storm to hit the same region was Storm Tauktae in May 2021. It claimed the lives of 174 individuals.
The evacuations for Biparjoy have brought up dark memories of another storm that devastated the Gujarat coast 25 years ago, leaving a path of death and damage. Official numbers put the death toll at about 4,000, but locals think the amount is significantly higher.

Aquaponics is the integration of aquaculture and hydroponics. The plants and fish live together harmoniously off one another. The basics you need to know about aquaponics is that fish excrete Ammonia. Then there is a bacteria that converts the Ammonia into Nitrites. Then another bacteria converts the Nitrites into Nitrates. Nitrates are then used by the plants living in the hydroponic system. The plants clean the water and keep the fish happy because too high of Nitrite or Ammonia levels will kill the fish.
There are several different types of systems that one can construct. There are small backyard setups that operate from an ICB shipping container that is cut apart to create a fish tank and grow bed on top. There are also commercial style systems that have high stocking densities and grow lettuce and basil by floating rafts on grow channels. There is no set in stone best way to do Aquaponics. Learn the system best for you and have fun!

After criticizing Sahlen Field as a potential home for the 2020 Toronto Blue Jays season, the team has now concluded it can’t wait to conclude negotiations to play at Oriole Park and will instead commit to home games in Buffalo, per NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo made the announcement this morning, while other outlets reported industry sources as doing the same. But keep in mind we’ve had several instances where government officials and industry sources reported different outcomes, so take this with a grain of salt until the Blue Jays and MLB make an official announcement–though you must admit Andrew Cuomo is a pretty good source.
The decision to play at the home of their Triple-A affiliate came after the Blue Jays explored playing 1) at Rogers Centre, 2) at PNC Park, 3) splitting time between Oriole Park and Nationals Park, and 4) playing at Oriole Park. In the first two cases, government officials stepped in to stop the plan. In the current situation, time just ran out out on the Blue Jays, with the team’s home opener set for July 29. (That date is likely to be pushed back because the upgrades will not be completed by then; instead, the team is likely to turn a two-day stint in Washington into a four-day run and aim for a July 31 home opener.) The decision gives the Blue Jays and the Buffalo Bisons enough time to upgrade Sahlen Field to what is considered a suitable 2020 MLB venue: better lighting, expanded clubhouse spaces and installation of new workout equipment. Players had opposed the move to Sahlen Field because of the facilities, but with the clock ticking, the Blue Jays didn’t have much of a choice.

“I didn’t wear makeup at all. Photographers would beg me to wear chapstick and I’d say no,” Williams tells PEOPLE of her days before discovering MAC. “I went to a [store] and picked up orange eyeshadow from MAC, that was the beginning of the end. It’s been key in making me feel like I have an onstage personality.”
And even more of a no-brainer than partnering with her favorite makeup brand was the shade she’d select for her signature collection. “Orange was it for me from picking up the eyeshadow when I was 17,” she says. “It’s not a natural color, but when I wear it, people say ‘It looks normal on you!’ I feel like it was born with it. It matches my soul.”
For girls a little more timid about diving headfirst into such a bright color, Williams says to start with the eyeshadow and work your way up. “The Daydreaming shadow is soft and pretty when you don’t keep layering it. I love colors like that … you get two looks,” she says. “The orange lipstick maybe isn’t for [every] girl. But it could be!”
Williams says she loves to have fun with her makeup and is inspired by her fans; she especially loves seeing them wear looks she’s sported in the past. “The best thing about makeup is that it’s complete self expression, it’s art on your face,” she tells PEOPLE. “Makeup can be really empowering, and I’m excited to be part of the MAC family … and for fans to get ahold of it.”
To check out Williams’s online-exclusive collection, visit MACCosmetics.com on April 9.

How to boost your borrowing power when buying your first home
Your borrowing capacity is the amount a bank will lend you to buy a home. It’s based on factors like your income, how much deposit you’ve saved, other existing debts, and how much you spend on living expenses. With property prices skyrocketing, maximising your borrowing capacity is critical if you’re looking to enter the housing market.
A borrowing power calculator can help you with a ballpark figure. But if you’re heading to an auction or want to sign a contract, you’ll need to know exactly how much you can commit. Backing out of a deal can be expensive and super stressful, and no one needs the rollercoaster of having the perfect home but losing it to poor planning.
The best way to know exactly how much you can borrow is to speak with a Mortgage Broker. Before that, there are some things you can do to increase your borrowing power and land the home you really love.
REALISE YOUR HOME LOAN DEPOSIT IS ONLY ONE FACTOR
You’ve saved so hard.
However, it’s only one part of what determines your borrowing power. In fact, a whole lot of elements work together to shape your available limit.
Lenders will generally look at your monthly living expenses, the limit on your credit card (not just the accumulated debt), and your credit history, which shows how well you’ve managed debt in the past.
TAKE A CRITICAL LOOK AT WHAT YOU’RE SPENDING
Lenders look very closely at your actual living costs, not just averages for people in a similar situation to you.
You should be prepared to show you have household costs under control.
Applying for a home loan can actually be a great opportunity to tighten up spending and cancel unused monthly payments. Consider where you could cut back to free up cashflow.
How many streaming subscriptions does one household really need? Can you turn your weekly Thai takeaway into a special monthly deal for now?
Show your lender you’re committed to spending wisely and prioritising your mortgage.
MAKE IT EASY FOR LENDERS TO UNDERSTAND YOUR FINANCIAL POSITION
These days, there are lots of ways to earn a crust. If you’ve got one permanent job, proving your income and expenses is typically relatively straightforward.
If you’re self-employed, have foreign income or earn dividends from investments, for example, things might be more complicated. Banks may consider the reliability of your employment or want to see evidence of a sustained income over several years.
DECREASE – OR DITCH – YOUR CREDIT CARD
Even if you’ve paid off your credit card balance, lenders will look at the limit, not what’s outstanding. That’s because you could rack up the whole debt after the home loan contracts are signed.
If you’re not ready to let your card go entirely, think about contacting your issuer to have the card limit reduced. The smaller the limit, the lower the risk to your home loan lender, and the higher your borrowing capacity.
CUT BACK OTHER DEBT BEFORE APPLYING
Lots of Australians are carrying some personal debt like car finance or a personal loan. If you’re wondering, should I cut back debt before applying for a home loan? The answer is: yes.
Paying down these balances will boost your borrowing limit. Lenders like to know you can comfortably handle all your financial commitments, and if you’re starting with a clean slate, your loan application is more likely to get a thumbs up.
Anyway, it’s a good idea to keep your debts healthy and pay them down as quickly as possible even if you’re not looking to buy your first home.
Finding the perfect home is only one piece of this puzzle we call home ownership. Put yourself in the best position to borrow what you need by minimising what you owe and being realistic about how much you’re spending.
When you’re ready, talk to a broker for a straight-up answer on how much you can borrow to fund your first home.

It won’t even end up being your used car.
Many consumers are in the market simply to take into account cheap car insurance. They will run across different insurance policies that may be rather too expensive.

These kind of are the ones that you want to look more closely at. Examine the excess payments as adequately. Some car insurance policies are cheaper because they’ve higher excess payments emotionally involved with them. Usually are very well cheaper because the excess payment means how the insurance company is liable less expensive if you claim.
The next thing you need to consider is of course, how much money you are willing to spend. Quite a bit for anyone means obtaining a valuable asset for a cheaper price. If you shop fervently before buying, you’ll find your good deal. The many general car insurance policy companies are developed in competition so there should be considered competition in prices properly. Window shopping is good because the device helps observe what is within the market before settling for perfect. Choose a policy that has all vital coverage and comes at a bargain price. You do n’t need your insurance stifling you of all your hard earned money especially now that the fuel price on an upswing. Use a car insurance calculator found during the course of websites to calculate what amount coverage your policy likely has or just how much you will expend for duvet cover off.
The second factor is your driver’s profile or associated with anyone who drives automobile or truck. Many insurance agents will look at the age, sex and occupation of the drivers using the car. Whether the car is used for personal or business purposes also are weighed into the quote. Lastly, the insurance agents will consider other details like number of citation tickets and claims made involving the car.
The very first thing to take a is the. You possess a budget function with with and in case any in the insurance car quotes which you get fall above this budget certainly they are never to be considered as they are so expensive. You might find that narrows the area a lot though is depend into your budget. If do have never any insurance quotes that match your budget you might be aiming too low and may have to re-look at people are in the position to pay. May also have to cut back a little fat every now and then to selected that carbohydrates afford to get even much cover car insurance policy.
Sadly, not every car insurance companies offer insurance for vehicles that are extremely expensive like Ferraris that will be driven at quickly speeds. May need come across a company that really accept car or truck. To avoid very high premium rates, consider removing modifications within your car or tunings help to make it go faster than usual. In the eyes of insurance companies, they manufacture the car more in danger of risks purpose are charged a tad bit compared to normal.
Of course you need to keep an eye on discounts. As a matter of fact, there are a handful of promotional offers, price slashes and discounts which you could be eligible to and would help you get rid of your car insurance premiums. For instance, there are seasonal discounts because discounts which are bound by time. Happen to be holiday discounts and anniversary discounts and others.

El Prat de Llobregat is a municipality with 65,000 inhabitants that is located in the Baix Llobregat region in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia and is part of the metropolitan area of Barcelona. Along with various industries, in its municipal area there are very important infrastructures such as the Barcelona-El Prat Airport and a part of the port area of the Port of Barcelona. For these reasons, and due to the high emissions from traffic, the city is in the special protection zone of the atmospheric environment for pollutant nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and suspended particles with a diameter of less than 10 microns (PM10), along with 40 other municipalities in the Barcelona conurbation.
Since mid-March 2021, the Prat de Llobregat City Council has been monitoring air quality in different parts of the city thanks to bettair® technology. El Prat de Llobregat has two conventional monitoring stations that are part of the Atmospheric Pollution Surveillance and Forecast Network managed by the Generalitat de Catalunya. However, El Prat acquired three bettair® devices in order to measure air pollution in other parts of the city with precision and accuracy. The devices measure NO2, NO, O3, SO2, Particulate Matters (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, as well as noise pollution. The devices have made it possible to identify episodes of biomass burning and suspended Saharan dust and have much more knowledge about pollution in the city.
Recently, El Prat has proceeded to purchase two more devices to extend its bettair® network that complements traditional monitoring stations. The bettair® technology allows to have indicative measurements with precision and accuracy without the need for any type of maintenance or calibration, resulting in a very attractive solution for cities that want to expand the measurement points or for many cities and towns that do not have even a traditional station and, for the first time, can measure air quality with reliable technology.
El Prat City Council is also collaborating with Bettair Cities and Barcelona Supercomputing Center in a pilot test within a European project called iBAM (FF4EuroHPC-iBAM) to generate pollution heat maps with high spatial resolution using Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to reduce the computational cost of the current numerical methods while maintaining the precision of the data. In the coming weeks, three more devices will be installed in El Prat that will allow the generation of pollution heatmaps with great precision.
Next Thursday, November 18th at 10:30am, within the framework of the Smart City Expo World Congress 2021, the Prat City Council will give a presentation on AI applied to the prevention of environmental pollution and will explain its experience of the deployment of bettair® technology. We recommend you to attend!

We’ve recently launched a new programme for the people of York and North Yorkshire – have you heard? Following the success of our RISE programme, Rise2Thrive (R2T) is the new iteration, with new partners and a mission to support individuals at all stages of their employment journey to boot.
33 partners strong, we’ve collaborated with many of our R2T partner organisations before on various different programmes since our 2007 inception.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be introducing our new Rise2Thrive partners and diving into what they’re offering on the programme.
This week we’re excited to introduce Mindful Photography UK.
When was the last time you actually felt the texture of a wall, breathed in the smell of a woodland or just sat and truly listened to the sound of the sea or birdsong?
Mindful Photography encourages you to do this and make a lasting and meaningful change in your life. When the senses are more engaged, you can start to take more notice and slow down.
What is therapeutic photography?
Mindful Photography forms part of a wider process called Therapeutic Photography where you can explore more about yourself in a safe and structured way. Therapeutic sessions are a way to increase self-knowledge, self-esteem, self-efficacy and resilience in an effective and accessible way.
Rise2Thrive and Mindful Photography
Rebecca, founder of Mindful Photography UK, works alongside individuals, groups and organisations facilitating photography projects to support wellbeing. She is now delivering interventions as part of the Rise2Thrive programme to participants.
We had the pleasure of attending an exhibition in Scarborough that featured some of the work Rebecca had done with participants. One of the participants on Rebecca’s previous project shared, “It has been amazing to learn about photography and it has helped me with my mental health so much. I have learnt how to slow down and pay attention more!”
We can’t wait to see some of the amazing work produced on the Rise2Thrive project and have no doubt that Mindful Photography UK will be a fantastic addition to the partnership.

In a drastic reversal of its previous policy, the FDA now considers ALL homeopathic medicines to be “unapproved new drugs” subject to pharmaceutical-specific premarket approval requirements or removal from the market at any time without notice as “illegally” marketed products.
With the FDA making its proposed new guidance final this month, we now must face the prospect that at least some of our cherished medicines could be gone in the new year as the FDA decides to eliminate remedies that it considers “too risky” without having to provide any evidence of problems. This is something which is explicitly allowed by the guidance.
We must turn to Congress and ask them to step in with legislation that protects homeopathic medicines from the FDA’s vague and overly broad (mis)guidance that could lead to arbitrary and unfounded withdrawals of properly manufactured and labeled homeopathic medicines that threaten no one (and the FDA has even done so already when it was in draft form!).
Ask your legislators to join the growing bipartisan coalition of offices seeking to preserve the right to choose homeopathic medicines.

Revolutionizing Synthetic Asset Protocols: Antimatter’s Innovative Incentive Model
Introducing Weekly Staking Rewards to Empower Builders and Traders
Dear Antimatter Community,
Today, we’re excited to offer you an exclusive preview of two significant developments that are poised to bring new dimensions to our ecosystem. In this article, we’ll delve into the forthcoming Weekly Staking Rewards mechanism and introduce you to the mUSD stablecoin, both of which are set to play integral roles in reshaping the landscape of decentralized finance.
Builders and Traders: A Collaborative Approach
Introducing mUSD: Stability Amidst Market Fluctuations
We’re also pleased to introduce mUSD, a stablecoin designed to provide stability in the midst of the volatile cryptocurrency markets. Anchored by its value, mUSD serves as a dependable asset for traders seeking stability in their portfolios.
Synthetic asset protocols introduce us to two key player groups: the risk-taking “builders” and the strategic “traders.” Builders stake their collateral tokens to mint mUSD, carrying the potential risk of losses. Traders, meanwhile, enter the markets, swapping mUSD for various synthetic assets in their pursuit of gains.
Recognizing the unique roles and challenges of these groups, we’re introducing an incentive model aimed at fostering collaboration and shared success.
Introducing the Weekly Staking Rewards Mechanism
Central to this endeavor is the Weekly Staking Rewards mechanism, which acknowledges and rewards builders in a meaningful manner. This mechanism is structured on two primary principles:
- Structured MATTER Rewards: Builders can anticipate consistent rewards through a pre-defined schedule, denominated in MATTER tokens, our native currency. This approach ensures that your commitment to minting mUSD is recognized with reliable and steady rewards.
- Redistribution of Trading Fees: Sustainability is a cornerstone of our philosophy. We’re directing a portion of the trading fees collected over the past week back to our builders. Converted into mUSD tokens, these fees underscore the essential role you play in maintaining the protocol’s stability.
Expanding the Antimatter Ecosystem: Five New DApps
As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation, we will reveal new DApps that are part of this ecosystem! We will also rework existing Antimatter DApps to fit our new approach.
Get ready for tools built for liquidations, exchange, staking and more!
Antimatter: Building Together
Our vision is one of a balanced ecosystem, where builders and traders collaborate to drive innovation and growth. While traders navigate the markets, builders are rewarded, setting the stage for collective success.
The Weekly Staking Rewards mechanism and the introduction of mUSD exemplify our commitment to driving progress and inclusivity within the decentralized finance space.
Stay tuned for the full unveiling as we continue to pave the way for the future of synthetic assets and stablecoins.
Accompany us on our journey, we keep building!
Antimatter is a hub for decentralized on-chain financial products, such as DeFi derivatives and financial NFTs. Antimatter B2 is a low-gas BNB sidechain that facilitates Antimatter DApps. Being community-driven, innovative and simple forms the core of Antimatter.

MANDEVILLE, La. – When Mandeville inventors Nita Gassen and Judy Schott pitched their bed sheet fastener, the Better Bedder, to the panel of investors on ABC’s business reality show Shark Tank last week, three of the “sharks” attempted to outbid each other for a stake in Gassen and Schott’s sheet fastener company.
In the end, Lori Greiner, better known as the “Queen of QVC,” came in for the final “bite” at $150,000 for an 18% interest in the company. The budding entrepreneurs, who founded the company to make everyone’s bed-making chore “fast, easy and neat,” said they will use their company’s new celebrity-backed cash infusion for marketing to spread the word about the Better Bedder nationwide.
“Just making it onto the show was surreal, but to end up having the Sharks fighting over us and coming away with a very hefty business investment by Lori is the biggest imaginable dream come true,” said Gassen.
“It’s all been unbelievable,” Schott said. “We couldn’t believe we kept getting call backs from the TV producers at Shark Tank, and then last summer we were stunned to get the call to go to Las Vegas and do the real show in front of the Sharks. And now I can’t believe we just watched ourselves on TV.”
To date, the entrepreneurs have sold more than 15,000 Better Bedders with revenues nearing one million dollars. Now with the Shark Tank success, Gassen and Schott are planning for a major expansion of the Better Bedder’s production, marketing, and distribution.

Home ownership is the key to New Orleans’s problems. Homeowners have better lives. Homeowners create generational wealth. Also, homeowners commit fewer crimes. Plus, homeowners create stable neighborhoods. And stable neighborhoods make great cities. Fixing New Orleans woes starts with creating more homeowners in the city.
For decades government financial policies and correlating bank discrimination prevented most African Americans from owning their homes. Redlining was the way the government identified African American neighborhoods. Redlined neighborhoods were denied government backed loans and insurance. Thus, African Americans were denied access to generational wealth. Simultaneously, white neighborhoods accessed loans at fast and furious rates. The wealth gap was codified in legal American financial policy. Besides the financial gains over time from home equity growth, there are many other benefits from owning a home.
Benefits of Home Ownership
Families benefit from homeownership. Partners who combine their incomes to purchase a home tend to stay together longer. Intact families earn and save much more money over time. But intact families don’t just have more money. They keep and improve their homes over time. Bathroom and kitchen renovations. Adding on another room. Better windows. All these investments increase the property value over time. And for most Americans, the biggest asset they own is their home. Families build generational wealth over time.
Children who grow up in a home owned by their parents do much better than children who do not. According to a FHA study. Compared to rental households, ownership children do better –
- They stay in school longer
- They graduate high school
- They attend college or acquire a high wage life skill
- Improved math and reading scores
- They have a 2.9% lower dropout rate
- The teen birth rate was 5% lower than rental children
- School expulsions are 90 % lower than rental children
- Criminal arrests are 92% lower than rental children
Ownership families are also healthier. The parents report fewer health problems. And the children report very good or excellent health. School absences are significantly lower. Participation in extracurricular activities is increased. Remarkably parent and child bonding increases as support their children’s extracurricular activities. Picking up or dropping off for practices and attending events give parents more time to engage their children. Families with close ties report happier lives and healthier lifestyles.
RELATED: City Must Create More Home Ownership
New Orleans must create more home ownership opportunities for her citizens. The issues – poor educational outcomes, high dropout rate, high teenage pregnancy, carjackings, burglaries, and other crimes – are directly related to the lack of home ownership. This is hard for people to understand. But housing is just a structure. Home ownership is a mental, financial, physical, mature committed approach to life. Your identity is connected to your house. Home ownership is transcendent. Especially for African Americans. Owning a piece of the American pie transforms your approach to life. You own a piece of the city. You are committed.
How to Transform Renter New Orleanians into Homeowners
New Orleans is a poor city. The economy is based on tourism. Tourism jobs tend to be low wage jobs. How can we make this remake this city? Currently the city is a city of renters. Low wages. No family history of home ownership. There are not that many mortgage wage jobs in our city.
There is a federal mechanism that can help. Individual Development Accounts are a mechanism for low income asset building and homeownership. Developed in the 1990’s by famed sociologist Michael Sherraden, the IDA typically matches or even increases the savings of people. Sherraden says, “Unlike traditional welfare programs, IDA accounts would introduce real assets into the lives of many poor people who would otherwise be without them. IDAs would be a different approach to welfare policy, an approach that emphasizes individual development and combines social provision with individual responsibility and individual control. IDAs would enable the poor to bring their own cards to the table and make their own deal.”
Some IDA’s in Louisiana have a 4 to 1 match ratio. For every dollar saved by an individual 4 dollars are added. We will examine how these programs can be a key factor in transforming our city in next weeks article.

Barış Arduç, who returned to the screens playing the lead role in the “Alparslan: Büyük Selçuklu” tv series, was admired by his fans for his effective performance alongside Fahriye Evcen. Recently Barış’s new Netflix series “Kulüp” fell on the agenda like a bomb. The “Kulüp” series, whose story took place in Istanbul in 1955, met with the audience. The scenes of Arduç and Kalebek were also talked about a lot on social media.
When Arduç started to play the lead role, Ömer in the TV series “Kiralık Aşk”, he managed to become one of the most talked-about, admired, and curious male Turkish actors. And Elçin Sangu, who made a throne in the hearts of the audience with her red hair, instantly earned International fame.
Therefore 3 FAQs are very common. Which are –
1. Are they in a relationship or not?
Elçin Sangu and Barış Arduç’s adjectives did not stop, as they reflected the love of Ömer and Defne, whom everyone adored, to the screens with great acting. Fans stubbornly want that love to be real.
Before the Kiralık Aşk series began, Baris and Elçin were committed to their true love. What was seen in the series, was not love. It was their professional acting. They never even tried to date each other in real life.
2. Is Elçin Sangu single or dating now?
Beautiful actress Elçin Sangu is not single or mingle but has been in love with businessperson Yunus Özdiken for a long time. The couple, who started dating in 2011, prefers to leave their relationship out of sight. Elçin has more than 8 million followers on Instagram, and a passionate fan base, but at the same time, despite this reputation, she manages to be invisible and live in secret.
Sangu said to the press,
I have a very introverted life, few friends, and three small children; my dogs Windu, Padme, and Yoda. I love home life and I don’t feel the need to spend time outside. Maybe that’s why.
But her boyfriend Özdiken posted his poses with Sangu on his Instagram account with the red heart emoji.
3. Who is Barış Arduç’s girlfriend?
Fans of Barış Arduç knew that he met Gupse Özay on the set of the Deliha movie, fell in love with each other, and got married in July 2020 after 6 years of togetherness in Çeşme. Fans also wonder, what is the age difference between Gupse Özay and Barış Arduç? Well, Barış Arduç is 34 years old and Gupse Özay is 37 years old.
Is Gupse Özay pregnant?
According to Habertürk’s report, the actress Gupse Özay denied these pregnancy rumors saying:
I am not pregnant, but I want it so much.
At the time, Barış Arduç told the press:
We expected this kind of news, we want children very much and we have intentions, and if it happens, we will gladly share such news, but there is nothing for now.
We can’t plan all sorts of things in our life. Sometimes things just happen that we have no control over. Baris fell for Gupse and it was real that’s why he did end up marrying Gupse. No matter what she looks like. If you are a true fan of Baris, accept it. Don’t compare their relationship with Kiralık Aşk drama.
On the other hand, Elcin is very happy with her love life. She never worshiped Baris. Because right after their movie ‘Mutluluk Zamani’ ended both of them were never seen together.
What do you wanna say to the haters of their relationship?

Many of you might be wondering “how can I work on something like NASA’s Curiosity when I grow up?” Well, you have come to the right place. NASA typically has missions proposed/planned well into the future. If you look at their list here, the following planetary mission are either in development or under study:
Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) is a NASA mission that will orbit the Moon and its main objective is to characterize the atmosphere and lunar dust environment. This mission is part of SMD’s Robotic Lunar Exploration program. Scheduled for: May 02, 2013MAVEN
The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission (MAVEN), set to launch in 2013, will explore the planet’s upper atmosphere, ionosphere and interactions with the sun and solar wind. Scientists will use MAVEN data to determine the role that loss of volatile compounds—such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and water—from the Mars atmosphere to space has played through time, giving insight into the history of Mars atmosphere and climate, liquid water, and planetary habitability. The MAVEN Principal Investigator is Dr. Bruce Jakosky of the University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (CU/LASP), and the project is managed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. November 18, 2013OSIRIS-REx
NASA will launch a spacecraft to an asteroid in 2016 and use a robotic arm to pluck samples that could better explain our solar system’s formation and how life began. The mission, called Origins-Spectral Interpretation-Resource Identification-Security-Regolith Explorer, or OSIRIS-REx, will be the first U.S. mission to carry samples from an asteroid back to Earth. After traveling three years, OSIRIS-REx will approach the primitive, near Earth asteroid designated 1999 RQ36 in 2019. Once within three miles of the asteroid, the spacecraft will begin six months of comprehensive surface mapping. The science team then will pick a location from where the spacecraft’s arm will take a sample. The spacecraft gradually will move closer to the site, and the arm will extend to collect more than two ounces of material for return to Earth in 2023. RQ36 is approximately 1,900 feet in diameter or roughly the size of six football fields. The asteroid, little altered over time, is likely to represent a snapshot of our solar system’s infancy. Scheduled for: September 2016ILN
International Lunar Net-work (ILN), aims to provide an organizing theme for all landed science missions in the 2010s by involving each landed station as a node in a geophysical network. This mission is part of SMD’s Robotic Lunar Exploration program. Scheduled for: March 01, 2018
So how do you get to work on a mission like one of these?
There are many organizations that have created educational oportunities designed to inspire young minds to become tomorrow’s rocket scientists. NASA has a MONSTER list of student and educator programs that include internships, K-12 programs, higher ed. programs, scholarships, and ongoing experiments that are sure to meet your need.
I am particularly fond of Space Grant as they were the organization who sponsored my 10 week graduate level internship at NASA’s JPL facility…..and getting that opportunity was as easy as picking up the phone and writing a proposal.
The National Space Grant Foundation has also sponsored the Summer of Innovation: Mini-Grant Program.
The Summer of Innovation (SoI) supports student interest in STEM by strengthening the capacity of community and school-based organizations that inspire and engage middle school students in STEM content during the summer. SoI then continues to support follow-on and extended learning efforts designed to keep students involved in NASA-themed STEM activities during the academic year.
Another popular program is the Student Launch Initiative that
challenges middle and high school students to design, build and launch a reusable rocket with a scientific or engineering payload to one mile above ground level, or AGL. The project engages students in scientific research and real-world engineering processes with NASA engineers.
So, what are you waiting for, pick up the phone or write an email and start paving your way into space!
And if NASA runs out of dough, you could always look for a job with Planetary Resources 🙂
Congrats to my friend Hannah and all of the talented engineers whose tireless work on MSL has really paid off!

30th season from the beginning…
Partners in Crime
SPOILER Summary: The Doctor is investigating a new anti-fat pill from Adipose Industries while former companion Donna Noble does the same, hoping to once again meet the Doctor and this time join him on his journeys. While this new pill does indeed reduce fat, it does so by causing the fat to form into a blockish body, the infants of a race known as the Adipose. When company head (and nanny) Miss Foster discovers the Doctor is onto her, she accellerates plans so that instead of just fat, those who’ve taken the pill will now have their entire bodies coverted into Adipose, forcing the Doctor and Donna to try to end the process lest many people die.
Thoughts: This is an OK episode. When I heard that Donna was returning, I was not thrilled. Catherine Tate annoyed me to no end in “The Runaway Bride” with how Donna was played. Ugh. However, her acting is toned back a bit for this episode, and she becomes a more likable person, though with those traits seen originally still there. At least now they aren’t in ones face all the time.
There was a bit of comedy with the Doctor and Donna miming a conversation to each other. The biggest “win” moment for me (SPOILER y’all) is when Rose was in the crowd after the events observing, then after Donna speaks to her (not knowing who she is of course), Rose walks away and disappears. That’s some intriguing bit of table setting for sure.
Otherwise, this episode is just too kiddie for my tastes. It is one I can see fast-forwarding through when the series comes out on DVD.

Notes from Schuylkill County, setlists and diversions...
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Think about how reality has changed in the last seven years. Our civil liberties are quietly eroded, under the guise of keeping us safe from the invisible terrorist threat, while we're happily distracted by Britney and Paris. This is getting past tinfoil hat territory; the collapse of America is actually happening while we look the other way. This article, written over a year ago, is chilling in its implications.

What does 'Hamilton the Musical' and Presidents' Day Have in Common?
Today is Presidents' Day, and tonight a rare treat for those who will be watching the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, airing live on CBS and streaming online, the Hamilton cast will perform the show's opening act. We love the idea and concept of "Hamilton the Musical". We hope an audience who might never see a musical, in addition to be drawn the material the play is based on, will want to see the musical on Broadway after the performance. The Grammy Awards will air tonight on CBS at 8pm. We can't wait!

Meet our next Tripfezroamer, Idzani Johar and check out his awesome video at the end of this interview!
T: A short bio about yourself, A 3-4 lines that best describe you, what you do for a living and so…
I: For living, I am an Investment Operations Analyst in the Banking & Finance Industry. In another life, I would probably be a National Geographic Photographer. I like to think of myself as a light chaser, I have been chasing Auroras for a while now, and glad to finally captured Australis with my lens.
T: Where have you been?
I: I’ve lived in Sydney, currently in Melbourne, hence travelled to a lot around Victoria. I’ve been to Indonesia, England, France, New Zealand, and Nepal.
T: What’s your favourite place so far? Why?
I: My favourite is Nepal. At first, I thought it will be because of the mountains and sceneries there, but I end up loving it because of the people. They’re very accommodating and resilient.
T: One unforgettable travel experience or incident that sticks in your mind…?
I: One of the most unforgettable experience during my travels was seeing a sky filled with stars forming the Milky Way like I have never seen before in South Island, New Zealand. When you live in a city, you’d be surprised how much you’re missing out on the night skies due to light pollution.
T: What was the most challenging thing about travelling?
I: The most challenging thing about travelling for me is the transition between places, going through the processes at the airport, and waiting.
T: What place is top of your bucket list?
I: The top of my bucket list is probably Jerusalem, Palestine.
T: One advice for travellers?
I: Travel with the intention of broadening your mind, understanding cultures, and find a way for you to benefit society even in the smallest of ways. And when you adore creation, remember to attribute it to the Creator. 🙂
I’ve made a video of my life/travel in New Zealand here:

There are many benefits to live casino games online, but what makes them so special? These games are played with a real dealer, not a computer program. This means you get to interact with the dealer and try out new strategies. Live games studios also have additional features, including statistics and bets. Live dealers also provide an enhanced gaming experience, which can be a big plus if you don’t know much about online gaming.
When you play live casino online, you must be a registered user of the casino site. To register with an online casino site, simply follow the instructions. You will be required to create an account by supplying certain information, such as your name, email address, home address, and phone number. You can also set a maximum deposit amount and withdraw winnings immediately. This way, you can be sure that you’re in the game with the right amount of money.
Live casino online is similar to land-based casinos. The casino is based in a country where the online gambling site has its license. The games available are very similar to those at land-based casinos, and the dealers communicate with players, making the experience more realistic. It’s even possible to play live casino games on a mobile device. The graphics are great, too! A real dealer will make the experience even more authentic. But, what’s more, you can also interact with the dealer through live chat.
Besides a good gambling experience, it is also important to choose the right payment method. Some live casinos accept different payment methods that may not be available in your country. You must carefully weigh the benefits and drawbacks of each option before deciding to sign up. In addition, payment methods often affect the time it takes for withdrawals. So, you must decide which payment method suits your needs best. A good way to find a live casino online is to read reviews about different payment methods.
A live casino is an ideal option for people who want to experience the atmosphere of a real casino without leaving their home. Live casinos are popular because of the atmosphere and chance to win real money. Moreover, they usually feature a video chat feature that allows you to interact with the dealers and make payments. This allows you to experience the casino atmosphere and get a feel for the actual game. For those who are superstitious, it may be worth choosing live games instead of playing online casino games.
Live casino online games are similar to regular online casinos, but they have a few distinct features. While the interface of a live casino is identical to that of a regular casino, the actual game is being streamed from a live dealer through HD cameras. A live dealer casino is always regulated and has a licensed dealer. These two features make live games unique in online gambling. You can enjoy live games with friends or colleagues from the comfort of your home.

Usually, children start learning counting concepts in kindergarten or first grade. But it is not necessary to follow that. You can make your kid learn counting before that period too. Doing so will work in their favor and they will be able to progress speedily for other math concepts that will be edified in the future.
We all know that it’s a fact that kids learn things much easier when they play. And the easiest way to do it is by preferring Hand-on learning. It is the basic level to initiate. We cannot just count out loud and expect our toddlers to remember it.
Make it flexible for your kid by providing them with their toys. This will turn them to notice, trace and then develop an understanding of what each number means. Not only this but there are many such ways you can help your children learn counting at an early age so that they can prepare themselves for school. And some of them are:-
A woodblock puzzle set:
It’s an experimental toy. Generally, this toy is very common among toddlers as it develops interest among them to arrange the rings according to the digits mentioned by counting for each one of them.
Use bouncy balls:
Hand over your kid’s superclass and tell them to count every time, the ball hits the ground. This will sound challenging for them and they automatically will attract them to count on the bounces. It is a good practice to count the first few numbers again and again.
Abacus – A Good Way For Your Child To Learn Counting
The most common and popular way to compute is an abacus. Purchase it with large, colorful balls. Dash all the balls up on the left side and convey to your children how they can slide the balls one by one towards the right side. Count the balls along with them. So that kids will swiftly catch the notion.
The building block technique:
Yes, you might know about it. But it’s dun ping the building block technique. All you need.to do is invite your child to take one block at a time and keep it on the floor. Afterwards, Encourage them to pick the second block and place it on the top of the first block. Continue the activity until it reaches up to ten or more than that, depending on their age. Tell the kids to take account of blocks of their tower till the time it falls by itself. They will want to repeat the activity frequently.
Depositing Coins in Piggy Bank Can Really Be Helpful To Learn Counting
Right from childhood, every little angel is very fond of piggy banks. So why not Make use of it as a way of helping the kids learn to count. You can indicate to your child to count the number of coins every time he/she deposits it in their cute piggy banks and, after it is full, shake it throughout the time it’s free and re-start this fun activity once again. And, if you choose to make a piggy bank on your own, decorate it beautifully so that your toddlers’ look up for it.
So these were the basic strategies that can work to help your children learn faster than others and develop a fondness for reading and understanding math concepts.

Hologram labels give companies a safe and dependable way to safeguard their goods.The labels are attached to the product containers, cartons, boxes, and bags as a tag or seal. The labels provide protection against manipulation and modification. They have distinctive logo designs, graphics, and patterns that are challenging for unauthorised people to imitate.
Hologram labels serve as product authenticators, deter counterfeiting, and uphold standards of quality. The labels are disk-shaped objects with an illegible design laser engraved on them. It is challenging to copy since the photographs can be linked to the original product and its creator. This offers consumers, authorities, and other interested parties evidence of genuineness.
The capacity to swiftly and precisely authenticate products is provided by hologram labels. They have scannable, distinctive codes that can be used to authenticate and trace products in real time. This makes it possible to stop counterfeiters from entering a supply chain.
Hologram labels are also long-lasting. They are made to withstand heat, moisture, and various other environmental factors. This indicates that they have a lasting impact, preserving the reputation of the brand and the product.

One simple vision – to produce beautiful and effective web designs for charities, schools and non-profit organisations.
Working with many UK charities and non-profit organisations we provide high-quality web design and development services.
Charity websites should not only provide information and support to those in need. They must help promote fundraising activities, attract volunteers and donations to their cause. That may seem like a big challenge, but we can make it happen and we can make it affordable.
We are an experienced web design and development team with the experience, skills and knowledge to produce creative and eye-catching website design for charities and non-profit organisations.
We’re committed to helping charitable organisations achieve their online marketing goals and make sure they get the most out of the websites we design and build for them.
We aim to work with you. To work together and design a bespoke website that your organisation can be proud of. Meeting your organisation’s objectives and ensuring your supporters, staff and service users get the most information and best result from it.
All of our websites are custom designed and built. They are easy to update, content manageable and mobile optimised. Working with our digital partners, South Downs Web, we also provide dedicated after-sales support, hosting, website maintenance packages, email and digital marketing services. Along with logo design and branding, creative marketing services and advertising support.
Every penny counts in the charity sector and we can help your budget go further.
Not only do we offer a discounted rate for charity and non-profit organisations, but each year we choose one charity, non-profit or educational organisation to sponsor by offering them a professional new website designed and built for FREE*.
The scheme started when we were approached by Storrington Community Football Club asking us for a quote to design a new website. We knew that their budget would be limited, yet we could see the benefits they would reap from having a modern website design.
This is when we decided to sponsor them and offer our services to design a new website for FREE. It was a good feeling to give something back to our local community and you can read the full story here.
It was then that we started a scheme to offer charities and non-profit organisations the opportunity to get a fully functioning, professionally designed website for the cost of a domain name (if required) and an annual hosting fee, with no charge for the web design work.
So, if you are a small registered charity or non-profit organisation looking to make your budget go further and would like a new, professionally designed website then please contact us today and register your interest.
*Subject to the cost of a domain name (if required), annual hosting fee and optional website maintenance package.
'The collaboration between BlueFlameDesign and South Downs Web is excellent and they make an amazing team! We asked them to design a new website for our school and in the end, they created a fantastic new website that is easy to use, easy to update and holds all of the information that the parents and community need to know and find.
They also took care of us, providing maximum support at every stage of the development, linking our social media accounts and showing us a few ‘best practice tips’ along the way. Using their combined creative knowledge and depth of IT understanding, they listened to our intention, supporting and suggesting from the initial stages right through to the final ‘go live’. We simply can’t thank them enough!'
St. Peter’s Primary School, Henfield

1. Flip a coin. The winner goes first.
2. When tossing horseshoes, the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association states that the foul line should be 27-37 feet away from the stake.
3. Do not attempt to distract your opponent when it is his or her turn to toss.
4. During game play, a tournament consists of 40-50 points, while a regular game contains 21 points.
5. A typical game contains 20 innings.
6. Each person tosses two horseshoes per inning, followed by his opponent. Do not approach the stakes, or remove the tossed horseshoes from the playing surface until both players are finished tossing.
7. Once both players have tossed their shoes, scoring begins.
a.Any player who has a shoe (any part of the shoe) within 6 inches of the peg/stake gets one point. This also applies to a "leaner," which is a shoe that falls leaning upright against the stake.
b. If one player has both shoes closer to the stake/peg than his opponent, that player is awarded two points.
c. If a player gets a "ringer," or a shoe that completely circles the stake/peg, that player gets three points. To qualify a ringer, a straight edge must be able to touch both points of the horseshoe.
d. If one player gets a ringer and has his other shoe closer to the peg/stake than his opponent, that player would be awarded a total of four points.
e. Cancellation Method: The twist in the game of horseshoes is the ability to cancel out your opponent's points, allowing for strategy within the game. If one player scores a ringer, the points will be cancelled if the opposing player tops it with another ringer during the same turn. The same rule applies for all other equal plays during the course of one turn. For instance, if both players throw a ringer and a leaner, no points are awarded. If one player throws two ringers, and the other player throws one, the player with two ringers gets three points for that turn.
8. If there is a tie at the end of the game, an extra two innings are played to determine a winner.

How do you get the most out of court-annexed arbitration, required by Rhode Island courts for most personal injury cases? The court-annexed arbitration process may allow you to settle your case without going to trial. But you will still have the option to go to trial if you are not happy with the arbitration award.
How Court-Annexed Arbitration Works for Personal Injury Cases
Arbitration is a process in which you and the insurance company present witnesses and evidence to an impartial arbitrator who decides the case. The arbitrator is a former judge or an experienced attorney. Rhode Island courts require court-annexed arbitration for most personal injury cases worth $100,000 or less. Unlike standard arbitrations, in which the arbitrator’s award is binding and resolves the case completely, a court-annexed arbitration award is non-binding, unless both sides agree to accept the award. This means that either party, or both parties, may reject the award and go ahead with a trial if they are unsatisfied.
Before the hearing, both sides send their lists of witnesses, documents, and a statement of their claims or defenses to the arbitrator. The hearing takes 4 hours or less. During the hearing, your attorney may have you or other witnesses testify, may argue your claims, and may present documents and evidence. The insurance company’s attorney will do the same thing, and may ask you questions if you testify.
About 10 days after the hearing, the arbitrator issues his or her award, telling the parties who wins each claim, and how much money the insurance company must pay if you win.
How to Get the Most Out of Court-Annexed Arbitration
Having an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side will help you get the most out of this required arbitration process.
The lawyer will help you prepare your case for hearing. The lawyer will meet with you, review important papers, and put together a package for the arbitrator explaining why you should win your case and how much money you should win. The lawyer will prepare you for any testimony that you may want to present at the hearing.
The lawyer will present your case at the hearing – just like at trial.
Following the arbitration, the lawyer will help you evaluate its outcome. With the arbitrator’s award in hand, the lawyer will discuss with you whether he or she thinks you received a fair award, the pros and cons of accepting or rejecting the award, and whether you should proceed to trial.
All of this requires careful preparation and communication with you, the client. Using this process for its maximum benefits can help you get the best possible outcome from your personal injury case.

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call His name Immanuel”
which means, God with us (Matt 1:22-23)
So for me, this is the crux of the Christmas Story. Yahweh has sought out our lonely, wounded hearts and offers healing and wholeness. He makes our heart His home; and so we are not alone. This is salvation.
God’s gift to us says something about who He is. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows (James 1:17). Salvation is consistent with His character.
The Psalmist wrote: Our God is a God Who Saves; from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death (Psalm 68:20). In a great sermon yesterday, our Pastor taught that the very name of Jesus, Yeshua, means God Saves. Again, this is not a new idea; this name appears throughout the whole of Scripture.
For me another name has a special meaning: El Roi. She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God Who Sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” (Genesis 16:13). He is the God who sees me and you, too. We are never out of His sight. If you ever feel lost or insignificant, this is a wonderful name to remember; it is His nature to watch over His people. The Lord will keep you from all harm He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore (Psalm 121:7-8).
Shouldn’t we marvel that the Creator, Elohim, the God of the Universe, would trouble Himself with us? Yet He is the One who knows the number of hairs on your head and has counted your tears (Luke 12:7; Psalm 56:8). He in the One who has engineered a solution for our brokenness that requires individual relationship with Him; it is up close and it is personal.
At the beginning of His life, Jesus was called Immanuel, which means God with Us. At the end of His life, He reiterated this truth: And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age (Matthew 28:10). Though He left the earth in bodily form, He kept His promise by sending His Spirit to be our constant companion, a comforter for us (John 16:7).
All of this reaching out…all of this sacrifice…all of this lovingkindness…this is the gift of God that started even before Christmas, was fulfilled in the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the gift we must receive every day.

Join us on an exploratory journey beyond mere speculation, delving into the enthralling world of AI as depicted in cinematic masterpieces like The Terminator. In an era dominated by unparalleled technological progress and the omnipresence of AI, the saga of Sarah Connor's battle against the formidable T-800 Model 101 offers invaluable insights.
Contrary to the dystopian narratives that often overshadow discussions on AI, this revolutionary force isn't a herald of humanity's downfall but rather a driving force behind digital transformation across various sectors. From streamlining customer inquiries to identifying potential threats through image or video analysis, the applications of AI are as diverse as they are remarkable.
Yet, amid the excitement, voices of caution, such as those of Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk, urge us to proceed with vigilance. Their apprehensions regarding the potential perils of AI, evocative of a scenario straight out of The Terminator, demand serious consideration. Musk's Neuralink venture, seeking to integrate AI with the human mind, underscores our quest for control in an AI-dominated landscape.
But before we surrender to apprehension, let's contemplate a pivotal aspect: the integrity of data. At its essence, AI thrives on the information it receives, regardless of its accuracy. This presents a formidable challenge—the scarcity of clean, precise, and structured data crucial for effective machine learning.
A recent report from MIT Technology Review underscores this challenge, emphasizing data quality as a significant hurdle in AI implementation. Without reliable, well-organized data, AI initiatives risk falling short of expectations. Michael Conlin, Chief Data Officer at the Department of Defense, echoes this sentiment, stressing the pivotal role of trustworthy data in AI endeavours.
Drawing parallels with The Terminator, we encounter a compelling analogy. The relentless pursuit of Sarah Connor by the T-800 Model 101, resorting to scouring a phone directory due to lack of precise information, mirrors the iterative learning process inherent in Machine Learning.
Whether confronting a lethal cyborg or a customer service chatbot, the essential prerequisite remains unchanged: dependable, comprehensive data. This data must be accurate, complete, unique, and timely to enhance decision-making efficacy.
Had Skynet equipped the Terminator with accurate data, its mission might have been executed more efficiently. However, it is the tension arising from data uncertainty that captivates audiences, underscoring the significance of data integrity in AI ventures.
While AI holds immense transformative potential, human engagement remains indispensable. The integrity of our data serves as the foundation upon which AI's prowess is constructed—a sobering reminder that irrespective of algorithmic advancements, the efficacy of AI hinges on the quality of the data it relies on.

A Boulder-based food brand specializing in “millet tots” — think tater tots without the potato — has cooked up a fresh batch of investments.
The startup, called RollinGreens, has raised $200,000, and hopes to raise $300,000 more, according to a Form D filed with the SEC.
“Part of these new funds are going to go towards supporting retail growth and inventory,” said Lindsey Cunningham, who founded RollinGreens with her husband Ryan. “We’re also going to be investing in marketing to expand our growth.”
The brand started as a food truck in 2011 before turning to packaged goods in 2015. When the pair began developing their idea for a food truck, they learned, to their surprise, that Ryan’s parents also had operated a natural food truck in the 1980s.
“Ryan’s been a chef for a long time and I have a background in marketing and PR, but we didn’t know about our family heritage until we started a food truck,” said Cunningham, who also serves as RollinGreens CEO. “We kind of revitalized it by keeping the name and some of the food options.”
The second-generation food truck business was “tremendously successful” for five years, Cunningham said, but the pair shifted to packaged goods to increase the brand’s scope and ease their workload.
“We wanted to reach more consumers, and the food truck was such a labor-intensive business that always came down to Ryan and myself,” Cunningham said. “We didn’t take a vacation for five years; that was our life.”
The truck’s most popular menu item was Ryan’s unique millet tots, so when the pair began to shift into packaged foods, the tots were a natural focus.
The company’s website describes millet as a “pseudo-grain” that has “one of the lowest water requirements of any grain crop.” Cunningham claims the tots are the only non-potato, whole-grain tot on the market.
“Ryan grew up with millet on his dinner table, because his mother owned a plant-based culinary school,” she said. “He put together what he grew up with and brought it back with a modern twist.”
The millet tots have been manufactured at a co-packing facility in Denver, Cunningham said.
Until last year, the tots were available in only one flavor: onion and sea salt. The brand since has added two flavors, Italian Herb and Sweet-Spicy. The 11.5-ounce boxes, which contain 3.5 eight-tot servings, generally retail for $4.99.
Cunningham said the millet tots are sold in about 1,200 stores nationwide.
“At first we were focused on natural-leaning grocers, but we found that everyone wanted the tots, even conventional grocery stores,” Cunningham said. “At this point, it’s probably about 50-50 between conventional and natural grocers.”
Colorado supplies more than half the millet in the United States, and RollinGreens sources almost all its ingredients from its home state. The millet used in the brand’s tots comes from a 100-year-old farm in Sterling, Cunningham said.

Healthy soil is the foundation for thriving plants, but achieving optimal soil conditions can be a challenge, especially in areas with poor soil quality or degraded ecosystems. Soil amendments offer a solution by improving soil structure, nutrient availability, and overall health. In this article, we’ll explore the role of soil amendments in plant health, including the benefits of using poultry grit and the importance of proper water well drilling techniques.
Improving Soil Structure
Soil amendments, such as compost, manure, or biochar, can significantly improve soil structure by increasing porosity, water-holding capacity, and nutrient availability. These amendments help to create a more hospitable environment for plant roots, allowing them to grow and thrive. Improved soil structure also enhances the activity of beneficial microorganisms, which play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and disease suppression.
Poultry grit is a coarse, insoluble material that birds consume to aid in their digestion. While not typically used for plants, poultry grit can be beneficial for certain soil types that require improved drainage or aeration. When mixed into heavy, clay-based soils, poultry grit can help to break up compaction and improve air circulation around plant roots. This can lead to healthier root growth and overall plant vigor.
Soil amendments can also enhance nutrient availability for plants by releasing essential nutrients over time or by providing a substrate for beneficial microorganisms to convert nutrients into plant-available forms. This slow-release nutrient supply helps to prevent nutrient deficiencies and ensures that plants have access to the nutrients they need throughout the growing season.
Water Well Drilling
Water well drilling is the process of creating a well to access groundwater for irrigation or other purposes. A properly constructed well can provide a reliable source of water for plants, but it’s essential to work with a professional water well drilling company to ensure that the well is drilled in the right location and constructed to industry standards. This will help to prevent contamination and ensure that the well provides a consistent supply of clean water.
Some soil amendments, such as compost or biochar, can also help to suppress plant diseases by introducing beneficial microorganisms that compete with or antagonize plant pathogens. These amendments can help to create a more diverse and balanced soil microbial community, which can help to prevent the spread of diseases and improve overall plant health.
Choosing the Right Soil Amendment
When selecting a soil amendment, it’s important to consider the specific needs of your plants and the characteristics of your soil. Some amendments, such as compost or manure, are more suitable for improving soil structure and nutrient availability, while others, such as biochar or poultry grit, may be better for improving drainage or aeration.
Soil amendments play a crucial role in plant health by improving soil structure, nutrient availability, and disease suppression. By using amendments such as compost, manure, or biochar, gardeners and farmers can create a more hospitable environment for plant roots and support the growth of beneficial microorganisms.
While poultry grit may not be a typical soil amendment, it can be beneficial for certain soil types that require improved drainage or aeration. Similarly, proper water well drilling techniques are essential for providing plants with a reliable source of clean water.

In my recent exploration, I've discovered how to acquire a credit card machine for a business. First, you need to establish a merchant account with a bank or another financial institution. Then, you can choose and purchase a credit card machine from a multitude of providers, ensuring it matches your business needs. Next, set up the machine following the provider's instructions. Lastly, ensure you and your staff understand how to use it properly for smooth transactions.
A sole proprietorship is a business structure that does not require and does not have articles of incorporation. It is the simplest and most common form of business structure for small businesses, as it does not require any formal paperwork or registration with the government. The business owner is solely responsible for all business assets, debts, and liabilities. The sole proprietorship is the most popular choice for entrepreneurs who are just starting out, as it is easy to set up and does not require complex legal documents. However, it does not offer the same protection from liability as other business structures and can be a riskier choice. Ultimately, the decision of whether to incorporate or not should depend on the individual's business goals, needs, and risk tolerance.
Business management is an important skill for any business owner or manager. Here are some tips to help you be successful in managing your business: 1) Establish clear goals and objectives. Determine what you want to accomplish, set measurable milestones and create a timeline for when you will reach them. 2) Create a budget. Know your financial limits and plan accordingly to stay on track with your goals. 3) Build relationships. Develop relationships with employees, customers, and vendors to create a team-oriented environment and ensure success. 4) Focus on communication. Keep lines of communication open and provide feedback to ensure everyone is on the same page. 5) Be organized. Taking the time to organize your business will help you stay on top of your tasks and ensure that everything runs smoothly. 6) Monitor progress. Monitor the progress of your business to ensure that goals are being met and business operations are running efficiently.
Business management is the process of organizing, planning, directing and controlling the activities of a business to achieve its goals. It is important for any business to have effective business management in order to be successful. Business management ensures that resources are used efficiently and that goals are achieved. It also helps to create and implement strategies and plans to maintain the success of the business. Through business management, businesses can identify problems and opportunities, create solutions, and make decisions that will benefit the business. Effective business management is essential for any business to be successful.
