At Roche, we strive towards our vision of providing more patient benefits at less cost to society. We know we can’t do this without fundamentally changing how we work because so much is changing within the healthcare industry, with our customer engagements, and in our portfolio. As a result, we decided the time had come to build on our learnings and enhance the healthcare system's capacity to create a positive impact beyond individual patients. Thus, transforming our customer engagement model into the Primary Point of Contact (PPoC) model, shifting from being initiators to being catalysts, ensuring sustainability in the way we collaborate.
Some of the key roles within our evolved customer engagement model are:
Patient Journey Partners (PJPs) who work closely with patients and the stakeholders and organisations that directly impact the patient journey, enabling them to identify patient needs and ways that Roche can add value to improve patient outcomes.
Healthcare System Partners (HSPs) who collaborate closely with the stakeholders and organisations that indirectly impact how patients access healthcare and deliver solutions that add value and improve health system outcomes.
Build a career that drives impact
Transform the industry through and innovative model that improves lives.
Culture & Ways of Working
Empowered to make decisions that impact the lives of people.
Build an interesting career portfolio accross geographical locations and areas of expertise.
Hear from our employees
“The collaborative and innovative way of working allows me to make meaningful contributions to our shared goals and encourages me to think creatively and push beyond boundaries to enhance patient access.”
“In my current position, through the Primary Point of Contact model, my efforts contribute to enhancing health system readiness and capacity. This, in turn, ensures that patients can benefit from our innovative solutions.”
“The term 'empowerment' is commonly emphasised at Roche, encompassing values such as integrity, courage, and passion. As self-managers we enjoy the freedom to contribute in a manner that best serves the organisation's needs. The culture of openness and trust has widened my scope of thinking.”
“Individually, we are one drop; together, we are an ocean. In the symphony of collaboration, each note contributes to a melody that resonates with the beauty of shared experiences, making our journey as a team in Roche not just productive, but profoundly enchanting and fulfilling.”
“Under the typical career growth system in a pharmaceutical company, it is not easy for a senior salesperson to transition to an advanced role. Transitioning into Roche shifted that in terms of job responsibilities.”
“The Roche Ophthalmology Disease Area has a robust franchise that constantly researches and develops ophthalmology pipelines for retina patients worldwide. As a member of the Thailand Ophthalmology team, I appreciate the opportunity to convey ideas in an open and respectful setting that creates a safe area for challenging and discussing solutions.”

I had a shot in mind—arms of a puppy caretaker holding a rainbow of tiny, sleepy, snuggly, adorable, very young puppies. I wanted Labs of each color and a golden retriever—the breeds most often used for service dogs. I thought it would make a delightful cover for my new book, A Gift of Puppies. It took some coordinating with Joanne Ritter, Director of Marketing and Communications at Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB), and my favorite photographer, Nathan DeHart, but at last we were there, standing outside the green doors of the puppy kennels at GDB headquarters in San Rafael, CA.
Joanne knocked, and a door opened about fifteen inches. The friendly face in the opening said we needed to put covers over our shoes before we came in, and no dogs were allowed inside. Quickly, my guide dog Hedy was whisked away to a comfortable, warm place, and we were inside the Inner Sanctum, stuffing our shoes into the blue paper covers.
The person who had met us at the door was Sharon Kret, Program Specialist for Puppy Socialization at GDB. Smiling warmly, she welcomed us, and explained that scrubs would protect the puppies from anything that might have come in on our clothes. We were soon neck-to-toe in matching green. Then Sharon brought, one by one, Lab puppies of each color—black, yellow, white, and caramel—and a fluff-ball golden retriever who looked more like a stuffed toy than a living dog. Carefully Sharon lowered them into the fenced play yard where we waited for them.
I saw immediately that my image of one caretaker with an armload of tiny, sleepy puppies was totally unrealistic. Most of the dogs were eight weeks old, and much too big for one person to cradle one of every color in her arms. It took all three of us—Sharon, Joanne, and me—to manage the curious and squirmy little ones. Nathan tried to get them to look at him. They licked each other, us, and looked everywhere except at him. Finally, Joanne, who had been through many photo sessions with dogs, handed Sharon and me her puppies and stood behind Nathan with squeaky toys in hand. She made some impressive, unearthly sounds with her voice, and that did the trick, at least for a while.
We decided to let the puppies play, thinking they would tire each other out and be more mellow for the next attempt at the perfect cover shot. That led to some entertaining puppy antics, and I understood how the contributors to my book could say puppies are a great de-stressor. They certainly make you laugh and forget your troubles.
After the puppies had played enthusiastically in the yard for what seemed like a long time, we scooped them back up, our hands under their chests, their back legs comfortably on our laps. They hadn’t gotten the least bit tired. GDB’s puppies are bred for stamina, and these little ones had a lot.
Finally, I gave up on the five-pup plan. We were down to three puppies, with me holding the little golden. He was a character—wooly as a lamb, but not nearly as docile. It was all I could do to hold just him. Sharon held the white Lab and Joanne had the black one. Nathan made peculiar noises and puppy faces swung around to look for the source of the interesting sounds. Success!
For the past eighteen months, I have been working on my book with puppy raisers and breeder keepers from both Guide Dogs for the Blind and Canine Companions for Independence, learning through their stories how they care for these special puppies before they return them for training for service. Eighteen months—it’s the same length of time most raisers have with those puppies. As with puppies, this book has been a lot of work. Now it’s ready to go out into the world to fulfill its own purpose. I certainly have become fond of it, and all the people I’ve met along the way, including Joanne Ritter and Sharon Kret. The community that cares for these puppies is as remarkable as the dogs that serve the disabled. That’s why I tell people my book is not about the dogs as much as it’s about the people who give the gift of puppies.
A Gift of Puppies—getting them ready for a life of service and love is now available for download from Earthen Vessel Productions.

It has been something of a long running saga, and one that has dragged on for some fifteen months, however, the Wynn Resorts Casino over in Everett has finally been guaranteed its gambling license, and as such the final legal requirement hurdle to opening that newly built property has been jumped.
Having invested some $2.6 billion in building the Encore Boston Harbor casino resort, I think that not many people could have foreseen the events that led up to a fifteen-month investigation by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission as to whether Wynn Resorts was fit to run that property.
That investigation did, of course, surround the former CEO and founder of the company, Steve Wynn, and the way the company handled the sexual misconduct accusations allegations against him.
However, that investigation is now complete, and the Massachusetts Gaming Commission are happy the company is fit to hold one of their gaming licenses and as such has issued one to the company.
Wynn Resorts had always planned on opening that new property on June the 23rd of this year, and with the clock ticking away there isn’t much time left to get the venue ready.
But it does look like everything should fall into place in the last few weeks before its opening, for the property is around 96% complete and there are just a few final touches to be put into place to get it ready for opening day.
It is certainly an impressive looking property and one that is expected to employ some 5000 people when fully open, which let’s face it is probably one of the main reasons why the gambling license was issued, and the company deemed fit to operate the casino, too.

Gunpowder Slot Features
The Wild substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter, aiding in creating winning combinations. It plays a key role in the Phantom Power feature.

Gunpowder Slot Free Spins

Activating the Golden Bet costs an additional 50% of the current bet, increasing the chances of triggering the Bonus Game and Phantom Power.
Non-UK Players can purchase the Free Spins feature for 170X the bet, receiving between 7 and 12 Free Spins immediately.
Gunpowder delivers an exciting pirate adventure with a smooth design and thrilling features. The Sticky Wild Symbol, especially with multipliers during Free Spins, is a great feature.

Construction is one of the most hazardous industries in the U.S., with thousands of workers injured on job sites each year. Understanding the most common injuries on construction sites is crucial for both workers and employers to ensure a safer environment. When accidents happen, workers’ compensation can be essential in providing financial relief and support.
Common Types of Construction Injuries
Falls from Heights
Falls from ladders, scaffolding, and rooftops are the leading cause of injury on construction sites. Even with protective measures like harnesses, slip-resistant surfaces, and guardrails, these accidents still occur due to human error, lack of training, or poor maintenance. Falls can lead to fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and in severe cases, death.
Struck by Objects
Construction sites are full of moving machinery, tools, and materials, which increases the risk of workers being struck by falling objects. These incidents can result in serious head injuries, especially if the worker isn’t wearing proper safety equipment like a hard hat. Workers near heavy machinery, cranes, and high-traffic areas are particularly at risk.
Working near power lines or handling electrical equipment poses a serious risk of electrocution. This risk is particularly high during wet weather or when equipment is improperly grounded. Electrocution injuries can range from burns to cardiac arrest, making proper safety training essential.
Workers may find themselves caught in or between heavy machinery, walls, or even collapsing structures. These accidents often lead to crushing injuries, broken bones, and, in severe cases, amputations. Proper training on the operation of machinery and clear communication on site can help reduce these incidents.
Overexertion and Repetitive Stress
Construction work is physically demanding, often requiring heavy lifting and repetitive motions. Over time, this can lead to back injuries, joint problems, and repetitive stress injuries like tendinitis. Proper lifting techniques and ergonomic training are essential to prevent these long-term injuries.
The Value of an Experienced Workers’ Compensation Lawyer
When construction workers are injured, workers’ compensation benefits can cover medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. However, navigating workers’ compensation claims can be complex, and insurance companies often look for ways to minimize payouts. Retaining an experienced workers’ compensation firm, like Cass and Peters Workers’ Compensation Law, may involve upfront costs, but the long-term benefits can far outweigh these expenses.
An experienced law firm understands the intricacies of workers’ compensation law, which is invaluable for maximizing benefits. Cass and Peters, for instance, has extensive experience representing injured workers and can help ensure claims are handled effectively, avoiding delays, denials, and insufficient payouts. In many cases, workers who partner with skilled attorneys receive significantly more in compensation than those who handle claims alone. From gathering medical evidence to representing clients in hearings, Cass and Peters provides a level of expertise that helps injured workers secure the full support they need.
By understanding common construction site injuries and knowing how to get legal support, injured workers can focus on recovery with peace of mind. If you or a loved one has been injured on a construction site, consulting with a firm like Cass and Peters could be essential to securing your rights and obtaining the compensation you deserve.
If you have experienced any of the following including construction site injuries, workers’ compensation lawyer, construction accident attorney, construction injury claims, construction worker safety, job site accidents, common construction injuries, Cass and Peters Workers’ Compensation, injured construction workers, construction falls, workers’ comp benefits, struck-by accidents, caught-in accidents, electrocution injury construction, construction safety tips, hiring workers’ comp lawyer, construction accident help, workplace injury attorney, construction injury compensation, construction site hazards

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
All Commentaries on 1 Thessalonians 5:6 Go To 1 Thessalonians 5
So that you may know that the prayers which are uttered in time of affliction would have the best chance of being heard, hear what the prophet says, “In my affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.” Therefore, let us stir up our conscience to fervor, let us afflict our soul with the memory of our sins, not so that it is crushed with anxiety but so that we may make it ready to be heard, so that we make it live in sobriety and watchfulness and ready to attain heaven itself. Nothing puts carelessness and negligence to flight the way grief and affliction do. They bring together our thoughts from every side and make our mind turn back to ponder itself. The man who prays in this way, in his affliction, after many a prayer, can bring joy into his own soul.

Homily for 15th Sunday
by Deacon Scott D. Gilfillan
Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two… He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick— no food, no sack, no money in their belts. Mk 6:7-13
Practice makes perfect. You may have heard this phrase growing up. Practicing a free throw, or a band instrument, or swimming. Practice is necessary to get better at a chosen activity.
‘Practice makes perfect’ is also one of the lessons that comes from sending the twelve on a mission and instructing them to “take nothing for the journey – no food, no sack, no money in their belts.” You might ask, “What exactly are they practicing?” The answer is faith.
It is hard to connect this gospel with our lives. Who would go on a journey with no money, no food, no GPS, no phone? Who would go on a journey into unknown territory with just the clothes on his back, the sandals on her feet? In fact, when we go on a journey we’ll do just the opposite – pack as much as will fit in our car!
As hard as it is to connect this gospel with our lives, we must not dismiss it by thinking, “Gee, that’s the kind of faith the disciples have. But not me.” A closer look at the scripture will reveal that Jesus didn’t send the apostles on this mission because their faith was perfected, but because it needed some practice to shore up what was lacking.
In the phrase immediately before the sending of the twelve, the gospel says something ominous: “Jesus was not able to perform any miracles in that place because of their lack of faith.” Change the pronoun to make it more personal. Jesus was not able to perform any miracles in ‘your’ place because of ‘your’ lack of faith.
How did Jesus respond? The next sentence continues: “He went around to the villages in the vicinity teaching.” One translation says it this way: “And then he went on a teaching tour.”
The progression is then (1) lack of faith, (2) teaching tour, (3) sending of the apostles. In other words, after seeing their lack of faith and connecting this with a lack of corresponding miracles, Jesus went on a teaching tour. Parents would call this a ‘teachable moment.’
When Jesus couldn’t perform any miracles because of ‘their’ lack of faith, the disciples may have been part of the ‘their’. In other words, they probably weren’t filled with this heroic faith, they were just like us, filled with uncertainty, doubt, and fear. But, by going on a journey empty-handed – by practicing the faith – they were able to fill what was lacking. In the end, they were amazed at their ability to expel demons and heal the afflicted. That is what practicing the faith will get.
It is in the practicing where the faith grows. It is easy to get the impression we need to have great faith to do great things. Our faith only grows, however, when we obediently follow the will of God and take a step into the unknown and uncertain. In other words, the action brings about the faith, the faith isn’t a prerequisite for the action.
To practice your faith, get out of your comfort zone. Follow God’s lead, even into situations where you’re not in control and you don’t know the outcome, into situations where you’re going to be vulnerable, exposed, and maybe humbled. This doesn’t have to be a missionary journey to a foreign land but could be signing up for a new class at the Y, or stopping by a non-profit and asking how you can help, or altering the usual, tiresome dialogue in a relationship that has been estranged.
God is calling you to a deeper relationship. God is calling you to a deeper commitment. God is calling you into a deeper expression of service. God is calling you to love, forgive, and accept the differences of others. Sometimes we hold back and say to ourselves, “If only I had a little more faith.” Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Obedience comes first, faith follows.
Don’t be afraid to venture into the unknown. That’s where the faith grows and the miracles take place. The last thing you want is for a gospel writer to chronicle your life and say, “Jesus was not able to perform any miracles in ‘your’ place because of ‘your’ lack of faith.”

The University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering is partnering on a grant of up to $50 million to bring smart grid technology to rural and underserved communities throughout Wisconsin.
In early October 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships Program awarded the grant to Alliant Energy, an electricity and gas utility serving communities in Wisconsin and Iowa.
The project, called Smart Power Automation in Rural Communities (SPARC), will add grid visibility and control devices to 140 grid circuits in 27 disadvantaged communities and two tribal communities in Wisconsin. These smart upgrades will allow the utility to quickly locate and isolate potential electrical faults, reducing power outages by up to 50%. An improved distribution management system will also enable the integration of more renewable and distributed energy sources. Communication technologies associated with the smart grid upgrades could also extend wireless access to many of these remote and underserved areas.
The UW-Madison College of Engineering will participate in the project through its Clean Energy Community Initiative. The initiative will facilitate community engagement throughout the duration of the project. To help cultivate equitable outcomes in the communities where project investments take place, the program will conduct at least 20 community and stakeholder engagement sessions. The initiative also will provide training and curriculum designed to upskill or reskill and prepare local workers for smart grid jobs.
Line Roald, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at UW-Madison, is an expert in grid resilience. She will lead technical research efforts for the project.
The Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships Program is a $10.5 billion investment authorized by the U.S. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to enhance grid flexibility, improve the resilience of the power system against extreme weather, and ensure American communities have access to affordable, reliable electricity when and where they need it. Its funding is administered by the U.S. Department of Energy Grid Deployment Office.

Maximising the Power of Social Media for Celebrity Event Promotions
In today’s digital landscape, social media plays a crucial role in amplifying the impact of celebrity appearances at events. Platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook provide a direct line of communication between celebrities and their fans, allowing for real-time engagement and interaction. By strategically leveraging these channels before, during, and after events, organisers can maximise reach and engagement, ensuring that celebrity appearances resonate with audiences far beyond the event itself.
Strategies for Leveraging Celebrity Social Media Channels
- Pre-Event Engagement
Before the event, it’s essential to build anticipation through social media. Celebrities can share teasers about their participation, encouraging their followers to attend. This can include:
- Countdown Posts: Celebrities can post countdowns to the event, creating excitement among their fans.
- Behind-the-Scenes Content: Sharing sneak peeks or preparation processes can engage audiences and make them feel included in the journey.
- Interactive Polls or Q&As: Engaging followers with polls about what they want to see at the event or hosting Q&A sessions can foster a sense of community and involvement.
By utilising these strategies, celebrities can generate buzz and encourage attendance well before the event begins.
- Live Coverage During the Event
During the event, social media serves as a powerful tool for real-time engagement. Celebrities can leverage their platforms to share live updates, enhancing the experience for those who cannot attend in person. Key strategies include:
- Live Streaming: Platforms like Instagram Live or Facebook Live allow celebrities to broadcast directly from the event, giving followers an insider’s view.
- Story Updates: Posting stories throughout the event highlights key moments and interactions, keeping followers engaged and informed.
- Engaging with Attendees: Encouraging attendees to tag the celebrity in their posts creates a broader conversation and increases visibility.
This live coverage not only engages existing fans but also attracts new audiences who may be interested in the celebrity’s activities.
- Post-Event Content Sharing
After the event concludes, it’s important to maintain momentum by sharing content that highlights its success. Celebrities can:
- Share Highlights: Posting photos or videos from the event showcases memorable moments and reinforces positive associations with the brand or cause.
- Thank You Posts: Expressing gratitude to fans for their support fosters goodwill and encourages future engagement.
- User-Generated Content: Encouraging fans to share their experiences related to the event creates a sense of community and provides authentic content that can be reshared.
By continuing to engage with audiences after the event, celebrities can solidify their connection with fans and enhance overall brand loyalty.
Social media is an invaluable asset for promoting celebrity appearances at events. By effectively leveraging these platforms before, during, and after events, organisers can amplify reach and engagement, creating a more impactful experience for both celebrities and attendees. The ability to connect directly with fans fosters a sense of community that extends beyond physical events, making social media an essential component of any successful celebrity engagement strategy.

The Great British Baking Show Judge Prue Leith Done Plastic Surgery has grasped everyone’s attention. Fans are curious to know more about her and her surgery.
Dame Prudence Margaret Leith, DBE, is a South African restaurateur, gourmet specialist, caterer, TV moderator/telecaster, columnist, cookery essayist, and writer.
She serves as Chancellor of Edinburgh’s Queen Margaret College. She was a longtime expert on BBC Two’s Extraordinary English Menu before replacing Mary Berry on The British Bake Off in March 2017, when the TV show switched to Channel 4.
Has The Great British Baking Show Judge Prue Leith Done Plastic Surgery?
Yes, Prue Leith has gone through facelift surgery. Prue Leith of The Great British Bake Off has talked openly about her decision to get a facelift.
Prue claimed that while she liked the process, the afterward hurt quite. In the 1990s, facelifts were not very frequent, and Prue recounts amusingly that the bar patrons thought she had been in a car accident because of how bad she looked.
The 77-year-old cooking diva claimed that her desire to have surgery in her fifties was spurred by viewing an unfavorable photo of herself.
She says she chose to get a facelift when she was 50 and saw a picture of herself that made her look 100 years old with double chins and wrinkles.
She also adds that she was prepared for her husband to be very critical, but all he cared about was her locating a good surgeon who wouldn’t make her look like someone else. She ultimately got it completed in South Africa.
Prue’s top eyelids, which the surgeon lifted and which she describes as “great drapes hanging over her lashes,” were the focus of his attention.
Prue Leith Health Updates 2022
Leith, 82 years old, has spoken up about her health concerns and the significance of exercising when she is not baking.
Leith remembered an incident from 2019 in which she had fallen, and now the celebrity is afraid that it may happen again after a difficult two-year recovery.
However, Leith’s most significant worries came true when she sustained a ruptured Achilles tendon while filming The Great British Bake Off’s opening scene. Leith described the incident, describing how she received a “hammer blow” on the ankle before being taken to the hospital by EMS. After the second event, Leith started prioritizing her health by exercising to stay in shape.
Prue Leith Family Life Explored
Pure Leith was born in South Africa’s Cape Town. Her father, Sam Leith, produced dynamite for use in mines while working for African Explosives, a division of ICI, eventually holding the director position. Actress Margaret “Peggy” Inglis was her mother.
Leith attended St Mary’s School, Waverley, an Anglican nun-run English independent private boarding school for girls in Johannesburg, from age five until seventeen.
She graduated with first-class matriculation and studied at the University of Cape Town, but she didn’t stick with theater, fine art, architecture, or French courses for very long.
She convinced her parents to let her enroll at the Sorbonne (officially the University of Paris), reportedly so she could study the Cours de Civilisation Française and improve her French. She finally understood that she wanted to work in the culinary industry while she was in Paris.

By Anna Beavers
After finishing my undergraduate studies at the University of Mississippi, I promptly packed what I could fit into four suitcases and moved to Abu Dhabi to begin working as an intelligence analyst. My educational background in homeland security, intelligence and security studies and Arabic had prepared me for this transition into the professional realm. I spent the next two years conducting qualitative and quantitative research on a myriad of global intelligence issues and threats.
After some time in the Middle East, I decided to return to the University of Mississippi to attend law school. Once back in the US, as I prepared for this next adventure, an email from the university caught my attention—more specifically, a single line in the email: “We’re a multidisciplinary team who believes that program evaluation is a foundation for learning, improvement, and—ultimately—doing as much good as possible.”
At the time, I did not know what research evaluation was and I had never heard of the university’s Center for Research Evaluation (CERE), but I instantly knew this might be a good fit for me. Doing as much good as possible has always been my overarching motivation and goal.
Having now worked at CERE as a graduate assistant for a few months, I can confirm my earlier inclination was correct.
A Surprising Parallel Between Analysis and Evaluation
It did not take long to realize the structures, processes and goals of intelligence analysis and evaluation are quite similar. The former is guided by an intelligence question, the latter by an evaluation question. Both involve analysis—qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods. The end product for both provides an assessment that answers the guiding question and looks to the future, often providing predictions (in intelligence analysis) or recommendations (in evaluation).
This parallelism has been a pleasant surprise, allowing some of my skills and experience to transfer into my work as a graduate assistant. Still, it has been the staff here who have most helped me transition into this new role.
Each CERE employee embodies the principle of “doing as much good as possible.” The center is involved in such a wide collection of projects, almost all of which focus on serving the community. The staff are diverse, with a variety of skills and backgrounds, and the center uses this strength to approach its diverse portfolio.
Not only is every team member individually impressive, capable and dedicated to their work, they are also devoted to their colleagues. CERE strives to foster a positive and joyful work environment and, as a new law student, this has made all the difference to me.
Support from the CERE team has been two-fold: first, in my exploration of evaluation; second, in my personal and academic life. Law school has emerged as a greater beast than I could have imagined—the stress and long hours were surprising and overwhelming. At first, I thought I would not be able to retain my position as a graduate assistant because of the law school workload. But, in a possibly surprising twist, my employment at CERE—and the wonderful colleagues I’m privileged to work with—have proven to be a source of reassurance and comfort throughout this challenge.
The work at CERE is all about maximizing impact and facilitating improvement for those we serve, but this philosophy is applied internally as well. The center and its staff always strive to improve the quality of our work, our work environment and ourselves—both personally and professionally. It is in part this emphasis on betterment that motivates the staff to support each other, and for that I am very thankful.

He had a breed of chinchillas which had been crossed with the common black rabbit, and their offspring were either blacks or chinchillas. These latter were again crossed with other chinchillas (which had also been crossed with silver-greys), and from this complicated cross Himalayan rabbits were raised. From these and other similar statements, Mr. Bartlett (4/17. Mr. Bartlett in 'Proc. Zoolog Soc.' 1861 page 40.) was led to make a careful trial in the Zoological Gardens, and he found that by simply crossing silver-greys with chinchillas he could always produce some few Himalayans; and the latter, notwithstanding their sudden origin, if kept separate, bred perfectly true. But I have recently been assured the pure silver-greys of any sub-breed occasionally produce Himalayans.
The Himalayans, when first born, are quite white, and are then true albinoes; but in the course of a few months they gradually assume their dark ears, nose, feet, and tail. Occasionally, however, as I am informed by Mr. W.A. Wooler and the Rev. W.D. Fox, the young are born of a very pale grey colour, and specimens of such fur were sent me by the former gentleman. The grey tint, however, disappears as the animal comes to maturity. So that with these Himalayans there is a tendency, strictly confined to early youth, to revert to the colour of the adult silver-grey parent-stock. Silver-greys and chinchillas, on the other hand, present a remarkable contrast with the Himalayans in their colour whilst quite young, for they are born perfectly black, but soon assume their characteristic grey or silver tints. The same thing occurs with grey horses, which, as long as they are foals, are generally of a nearly black colour, but soon become grey, and get whiter and whiter as they grow older. Hence the usual rule is that Himalayans are born white and afterwards become in certain parts of their bodies dark-coloured; whilst silver-greys are born black and afterwards become sprinkled with white. Exceptions, however, and of a directly opposite nature, occasionally occur in both cases. For young silver-greys are sometimes born in warrens, as I hear from Mr. W. Birch, of a cream-colour, but these young animals ultimately become black. The Himalayans, on the other hand, sometimes produce, as is stated by an experienced amateur (4/18. 'Phenomenon in Himalayan Rabbits' in 'Journal of Horticulture' January 27, 1865 page 102.), a single black young one in a litter; and this, before two months elapse, becomes perfectly white.
To sum up the whole curious case: wild silver-greys may be considered as black rabbits which become grey at an early period of life. When they are crossed with common rabbits, the offspring are said not to have blended colours, but to take after either parent; and in this respect they resemble black and albino varieties of most quadrupeds, which often transmit their colours in this same manner. When they are crossed with chinchillas, that is, with a paler sub-variety, the young are at first pure albinoes, but soon become dark-coloured in certain parts of their bodies, and are then called Himalayans. The young Himalayans, however, are sometimes at first either pale grey or completely black, in either case changing after a time to white. In a future chapter I shall advance a large body of facts showing that, when two varieties are crossed both of which differ in colour from their parent-stock, there is a strong tendency in the young to revert to the aboriginal colour; and what is very remarkable, this reversion occasionally supervenes, not before birth, but during the growth of the animal. Hence, if it could be shown that silver-greys and chinchillas were the offspring of a cross between a black and albino variety with the colours intimately blended--a supposition in itself not improbable, and supported by the circumstance of silver-greys in warrens sometimes producing creamy-white young, which ultimately become black--then all the above given paradoxical facts on the changes of colour in silver-greys and in their descendants the Himalayans would come under the law of reversion, supervening at different periods of growth and in different degrees, either to the original black or to the original albino parent-variety.

In this week's Chemical and Engineering News, this third quarter news (by Alex Tullo):
Chemical makers have been struggling to keep up in a weakening global economy, and many are reacting by trimming costs. According to earnings announcements from major producers, the chemical industry has been facing higher energy prices, particularly in Europe, where the war in Ukraine has led to dwindling supplies of natural gas from Russia. In addition, many firms are contending with softening demand for their products in Europe and other regions as consumers ease up on spending.
The world’s largest chemical maker, BASF, saw revenues increase nearly 12% during the quarter versus the year-earlier period—mostly because of higher selling prices. Volumes slid for nearly all its segments except agricultural chemicals.
BASF’s adjusted earnings rose 11%. That figure eliminates one-time items, in particular the firm’s financial interest—by way of its Wintershall Dea oil and gas unit—in the recently destroyed Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which carries natural gas from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea. Counting everything, BASF’s third-quarter profits were down 27%.
Earnings down for Chemours, Covestro, Dow, Eastman and LyondellBasell. Here's hoping things turn around...

I’ve seen videos of an altercation between the Freetown Mayor and the Deputy Minister of Local government. I’ve also spoken to independent-minded people who’ve been following the development all day. Mr Minister, however well intentioned you were to ensure the cleaning exercise went on smoothly, that was a despicable behavior possibly emanating from a deeply ingrained misogynistic attitude! Especially so because the Mayor was simply insisting on accountability and transparency in the process. This age-old inter-party rivalry descending into bellicoseness is nonsensical and not in the interest of Sierra Leone. In the last few months the mayor has undeservedly endured unnecessary harassment. The President should intervene and put an end to this madness. If she wasn’t a strong woman, Yvonne Aki Sawyer would have long been a casualty because of all this. Who wants to give public service under such circumstances!? Certainly not me!!

A time of celebration and sadness
Here at Berkeley Engineering, the spring season is often marked by occasions that celebrate our common ties as engineers and educators. This year has been no different. On March 29, we were delighted to host more than 140 engineering deans for the first day of their annual conference, held this year in the Bay Area. It turns out that a number of deans at leading U.S. engineering schools are our alumni, and they especially enjoyed the chance to reconnect. And on April 16, we’ll be just as delighted to host hundreds of newly admitted students, their families and other visitors for Cal Day.
Both events have been opportunities to showcase the great excitement and energy powering the college’s newest initiatives, particularly in design. Our Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation, open just since August 2015, has quickly become a hotbed of activity for students, professors and industry partners who love to combine creativity with hands-on prototyping and problem-solving.
Our colleague David Dornfeld, longtime member of our mechanical engineering faculty and founding faculty director of the Jacobs Institute, has been a driving force behind our design initiative, as well as a citizen of the college who always found a way to use common sense and the right touch of humor to unite people toward a common goal. Sadly, we lost Dave on March 27 to a sudden heart attack. He was just 66. We remember him with tremendous affection and respect.

Bleeding for 12 years even though she spent all her money trying to get well, a desperate woman reached out in faith when she saw Jesus walking by. Convinced in her heart that touching even the tiniest part of Jesus' garment; the fringe, would bring about the miracle she sought. Her healing was indeed instantaneous. Then she heard the words, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace." Jesus not only restored her health, he conferred her the dignity of a daughter (of Abraham). Hallelujah!

Policy Change Amidst Market Dynamics
India has lifted the export ban on onions, setting a minimum export price of $550 per ton. This significant policy change comes a day after reintroducing a hefty 40% export duty. Reacting to dissatisfaction among Maharashtra’s farmers, the government revoked the ban after 43 days. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade announced that the onion export policy now classifies as “free” from “prohibited.”
Impact on Rabi Onion Production
Projected Rabi onion production is set to decrease by 18% this season, totaling 19.3 million tonnes. Rabi onions, contributing 72-75% of the annual production, are essential for year-round availability due to their longer shelf life. Initially, on May 3, the Finance Ministry imposed a 40% export duty, effective from May 4.
Previous Adjustments and Current Measures
Previously, the government had set a 40% duty last August, then removed it in October 2023 after setting an $800 MEP. Despite these controls, continued exports amid domestic price rises led to a full export ban on December 8, 2023. This ban was extended indefinitely on March 22, as it was initially set to expire at the end of March.
Recent Export Permits and Future Plans
Recently, export permits for 99,150 tonnes of onions were issued to six countries, including Bangladesh and the UAE. The National Cooperative Exports Limited (NCEL) has been designated as the nodal agency for exporting restricted agricultural products such as onions. Last month, the government also permitted the export of up to 2,000 tonnes of white onions to select European and Middle Eastern countries.
Domestic Sourcing and Export Procedures
Furthermore, the Consumer Affairs Ministry on April 27 reported that onions are being sourced domestically for export at L1 prices. These onions are then sold to appointed agencies at negotiated rates, with full advance payments required. This year, the Price Stabilization Fund’s onion buffer target is set at 0.5 million tonnes, with procurement starting soon. Central agencies are collaborating with local entities to support the storage, procurement, and farmer registration processes.

First, both the orange and white jackets are dated 1964 on both the front and back (lower right corner). Neither LP is dated.
There is a difference in the numbering: the orange jacket LP is 1257, while the white jacket LP is DQ-1257. For someone who knows something about Disneyland Records, this would probably provide the answer.
My orange jacket is, however, different than the one shown in the original post. The bottom of the artwork is cropped higher, and there is a large yellow "star" on the cover which reads, "Added Bonus Inside ... Spooky Party Hints." The party hints are printed on a second white sleeve that fits over the normal white sleeve in which the LP is held, and it is dated 1973.
So, I'm thinking that the white jacket is more likely to be the first pressing, and the orange a subsequent pressing.
I'm hoping someone will know if the white or orange jacket came first. Thanks in advance.

Onion Dashboard C++ Cross Compile for LVGL Example
I am exploring the use of the Omega Dashboards for industrial controls applications,
My interest is to develop in C++, I have followed all your suggestions and articles related to cross-compiling with docker container.

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusCan you help me with any recommendations? Do you have an update of the set of programs, without errors, for c++ cross compile?
@jcrfMX Judging by your compile command and the errors, it looks like you're not linking the lvgl libraries.
Take a look at the makefile in the OnionIoT/lv_example repo for reference on building a program that uses lvgl.
It's been a minute since I've written C++ that uses C, but I think you'll also need to research how to use C libraries in C++.Let us know how it goes!
@jcrfMX There is a lot of info on LVGL Forum that can adress your concerns. @Lazar-Demin is correct in that the errors being reported indicate you have not correctly added the lvgl headers and libs to your include path library paths.
There is nothing special about using LVGL in a C++ application compared to any other C/C++ project, the LVGL Forum has numerous discussions related to this but there's nothig unique about LVGL in this.
With regard to the Dash and LVGL, the main area you need understand is the lv_conf.h and the driver configuration, other than that the Dash is a like any other LVGL project.

I am developing a prototype using a L4 stm32 microcontroller with a bluenrg m2sa BLE module which acts as central/peripherial. Also small sensors nodes with L1 annd the bluenrg m2sa modules. I'm having problems with the simultaneous central/peripheral.
Could anyone help me understand the timing constraints for the parameters:
Scan Interval (SCAN_P)
Scan Window (SCAN_L)
Minimum Connection Period (CONN_P1)
Maximum Connection Period(CONN_P2)
Minimum Connection Length(CONN_L1)
Maximum Connection Length(CONN_L2)
Minimum Advertising Interval (ADV_INTERV_MIN)
Maximum Advertising Interval (ADV_INTERV_MAX)
Minimum Connection Event Interval (L2CAP_INTERV_MIN)
Maximum Connection Event Interval (L2CAP_INTERV_MAX)
I have been triying different configurations. but until now, i havent achieved the simultaneous connection.
Possible scenarios until now:
1) remote node connects to the main board, then the main board fails to init advertising.
2) advertise first, stablish connection with phone app, then init scan and phone connection drops.
I have read the several technical notes available for the ble modules since the blunrg-ms, bluenrg-1 and the bluenrg-2. there is mentioned that the timings must be carefully choosen, but can't figure out the constraints that links all of the variables to enable connect, scan, advertise and keep connections.
any help would be really apreciated.

The 37-year-old Wilson, currently in his third season in charge at the Arms Park, turned down the offer of a contract extension and will move on next year.
“This was obviously a very difficult decision to make and I am very grateful to Cardiff Blues for the opportunities they have given to me,” said Wilson.
“I will be fully committed to Cardiff Blues for the remainder of my time here and am now solely focused on this weekend’s match with Munster.”
Cardiff Blues have confirmed that the search for a suitable successor will begin with immediate effect and further rugby appointments will be made.
“It is disappointing that Danny has decided not to take up the offer of a new contract and will not be part of our strategy moving forward. We will begin the process of finding a successor immediately and we will consult key individuals to ensure we make the right appointment for Cardiff Blues,” said Blues chief executive Richard Holland.

In education and training, particularly for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) in Australia, assessments are crucial in evaluating trainees’ progress and competencies. However, not all assessments serve the same purpose.
Understanding the difference between formative and summative assessments is essential for trainers and trainees. In this article, we’ll explore what distinguishes formative assessments from summative assessments, discuss their purposes, and provide practical examples for each.
What is the Difference Between Formative and Summative Assessment?
In simple terms, formative and summative assessments are two distinct evaluation tools. Formative assessments are continuous assessments designed to monitor trainees’ progress throughout their learning journey.
Summative assessments, on the other hand, evaluate a trainee’s overall competency or achievement at the end of a learning module or course. Understanding the difference between formative and summative assessments helps RTOs create balanced evaluation strategies to support trainee success.
Formative Assessment vs Summative Assessment: Key Differences
Purpose and Timing
a. Formative Assessment: This assessment is carried out during the learning process. The primary goal of formative assessments is to provide feedback and identify areas where trainees may need additional support or practice. These assessments are typically low-stakes, meaning they don’t usually count towards a final grade or competency.
b. Summative Assessment: Summative assessments are conducted at the end of a course or training module to determine if a trainee has achieved the required competency. These are usually high-stakes assessments, such as final exams or performance evaluations, and they play a significant role in determining whether a trainee passes or fails the course.
Feedback for Improvement
c. Formative Assessments: Trainers use formative assessments to give ongoing feedback to trainees. This feedback is essential for helping trainees understand what they are doing well and where they can improve, allowing them to adjust their learning strategies before they reach the final assessment stage.
d. Summative Assessments: While summative assessments can provide feedback, they primarily confirm mastery of a skill or knowledge area. Summative feedback is often less detailed and may be less functional for immediate improvement since it comes at the end of the learning cycle.
Examples of Formative vs Summative Assessment
Understanding formative versus summative assessment examples helps clarify their distinct roles in RTO training:
- Formative Assessment Examples:
- Quizzes and short tests are conducted during a module or lesson.
- Group discussions where trainees apply their knowledge in a safe, low-pressure environment.
- Observation checklists used by trainers during practical exercises.
- Homework assignments that are reviewed but not necessarily graded.
- In-class presentations that provide a chance for trainees to demonstrate understanding informally.
- Summative Assessment Examples:
- Final exams or tests evaluate cumulative knowledge at the end of a course.
- Practical skills assessments where trainees must demonstrate competency in an actual or simulated setting.
- Comprehensive projects or portfolios that showcase the application of skills learned throughout the course.
- End-of-course evaluations that test whether trainees can meet required industry standards.
Why Both Formative and Summative Assessments Matter for RTOs and Trainees
A balanced approach using formative and summative assessments is essential for effective training outcomes. Formative assessments allow trainers to monitor progress and provide immediate, constructive feedback, which helps trainees stay on track. Summative assessments, meanwhile, give a final measure of competency that indicates if trainees are ready to apply their skills in the workplace.
Formative vs summative assessments also serve different roles in shaping training programs. Formative assessments give trainers insights into which parts of their programs might need refining, while summative assessments offer concrete evidence of the program’s success. By leveraging the unique strengths of each type of assessment, RTOs can foster a more supportive and effective learning environment.
In summary, formative and summative assessments differ in their purpose, timing, and role in the learning process. Formative assessments are ongoing and provide continuous feedback, helping trainees and trainers identify areas for improvement. Summative assessments, conducted at the end of a learning period, are final evaluations to confirm readiness and competency.
Together, formative and summative assessments form a comprehensive approach to training, enabling RTOs to support trainees in achieving their best potential.

Likewise, if you want static URL files, you don’t need to provide user data-storship services. Although I did not speak of creating static URLs and sending a HTML string, I am giving here a heads up that they make up for a lack of technical support in integrating with Google Chrome. In this blog post I highlight some of the simple URIs and the different types of URLs generated there. I hope this helps people of any level of interest in learning about Google, particularly if they have an easier time understanding how access you can try these out be instant, and their user experience in this case. Usage Whenever someone types your address they will get an email with your address and your visit their website number. When you enter the email addresses Google automatically displays the phone number of the customer. If the phone number (i.e. 24-555-8437), is the phone number that you need, the Google process will use it for sending the email. Once the Google page is open, Google will automatically display a Google Account icon that warns you if you have received a telephone or email. For accessing some of my sites, I will call up and ask my Google account number. Google will use the following subsystem: With the login and password set up visit this site right here will email in a few seconds later to your friends list. Once the email is sent I will take it to your office and submit the email. This I will do until 20 seconds before anyone else sends a new email.

Ten-year response of northern hardwoods to irregular shelterwood in Québec
irregular shelterwood, northern hardwoods, QuebecAbstract
Many outcomes from silvicultural studies suggested that multi-aged silviculture approach, including irregular shelterwood system (ISS), could be an alternative to even and uneven aged silvicultural systems in northern hardwood stands. However, few trials have compared ISS in this type of stands. In 2009 we established an experimental study in Québec to compare hybrid single-tree and group selection cutting, which was the most prescribed treatment, with two novel variants of ISS. These treatments were also coupled with mechanical understory American beech control, soil scarification and deer exclusion. After 10 years net growth was positive and similar for all the cutting treatments despite the difference of stand structure but was negative for the control. Mortality caused by the beech bark disease is an important factor explaining this difference. However, despite high beech mortality, its abundant regeneration in the cutting treatments as well as in the control indicate that this species will probably dominate in the future to the detriment of sugar maple and yellow birch which regeneration was heavily browsed. These results are different from those expected at the beginning of the study and illustrate certain contemporary issues of managing this type of stands.

High latitude winter sightings of common minke whale calves (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in the Northeast Atlantic
Kavanagh, Ailbhe S.
Jessopp, Mark J.
BioMed Central Ltd.
Although common minke whales occur in relatively high numbers in the North Atlantic, relatively little is known about their seasonal movements or the location of their breeding and calving grounds. This lack of knowledge compromises our ability to protect potentially important areas for this species. Here we report high latitude winter sightings of unweaned minke whale calves recorded in offshore waters in the Northeast Atlantic. We discuss how such sightings may contribute to our understanding of the winter distribution and movements of this species; raising the possibility that a proportion of the population may over-winter at high latitudes in offshore waters, and that calving may occasionally occur in the warm North Atlantic Drift waters of western Europe’s continental shelf.

To acquire advanced information on the processes and the factors that control and govern the fate of pesticides in the soil environment in order to build the relevant and experimental knowledge for a potentially safe, inoffensive, efficient, beneficial, and cost-effective utilization of pesticides.
The project evaluates the abiotic and biotic (through enzymatic catalysis) binding of pesticides on characterized clays, humic materials, and clay-humic complexes. The persistence of free and immobilized pesticides under soil biological activity (bioavailability for indigenous and introduced microorganisms) as well as the abiotic release of pesticides bound to different matrices and their mobility in soils will be tested. Furthermore, the ability of free and immobilized enzymes to intervene in the bioremediation of contaminated soils will be verified.
In the project, particular attention will be devoted to:
- determine a) the adsorption capacity, the specificity or non specificity of the different adsorbents models for certain pesticides; b) the reversibility/non-reversibility of the adsorption/desorption process; c) the effect of the surface properties of adsorbents on the above mentioned processes; d) the type of chemical bonding and the active centres of the surface adsorbents models involved; e) the chemical and thermal stability of the clay-complexes obtained.
- characterize the nature, chemical composition, physico-chemical and surface properties of organo-mineral complexes prepared by using two isolated and characterized humic substances and two clay minerals; identify the preferential disposition of humic macromolecules in the clay-humic complexes.
- purify laccases at high purity degree from select fungal strains; obtain laccase preparations temperature-resistant and active in non aqueous solvents and evaluate the detoxifying activity of laccase preparates, alone or in cooperation with other enzymes, in the task of bound residues.
- prepare pesticide-humic and pesticide-clay-humic complexes by adsorption isotherm techniques, abiotic and biotic binding under selected experimental conditions; describe and quantify the kinetics of adsorption and binding processes.
- analyze the pesticide-complexes by C-13 NMR, massa spectrometry and electronic impact method in order to identify the main components of the humic substances and the predominant type of crosslinking present in the solid state; correlate the changes of structural features and chemical composition obtained by spectroscopic methods and the size of molecular aggregates as obtained by the molecular weight distributions.
- isolate bacterial degraders of pesticides and raise resistant mutants; measure rates and amounts of biodegradation (with and without adsorbents and pesticides complexes) following inoculation and quantify microbial growth rates and yields; identify the responses of the soil indigenous microflore to pesticides and inoculants.
- quantify and determine how various soil environments such as pH, moist-dry cycles, and temperature affect the abiotic release of free and bound pesticides under saturated flow conditions.

Most Course Creators spend 6-12 months creating their online courses, they spend a lot of time and energy researching the best platform, creating the PowerPoint slides, recording the videos, editing the videos, uploading the videos, and making the course look good!
Once they are finally ready to take their course to market, they launch and don’t usually get the results they were expecting. They may make a sale or two but that barely covers all the software expenses they needed to launch. And it definitely wasn’t worth the 6-12 months of hard work.
This is a common story for Course Creators and it’s HEARTBREAKING!
At the Course Creator Community, our goal is for this NOT to happen to you!
The first step we recommend is to join our FREE Facebook Group the "Course Creator Community." We have over 5,000 course creators in the Group, everyone in there is super supportive and we all share tips and ideas.

looking to find dumpsters that can be used to clean out the spaces is an excellent idea. Ask junk removal companies what they charge for them to provide you with the dumpsters you require. They usually give reasonable prices to clients for the work they perform. It is a way of disposing of waste at a reasonable cost.
Many people have contracted with a dumpster supplier to get assistance to clear out the waste that has taken over a large portion of their houses. It is possible to review your rental bill and find out the line-by-line amount you’ll be charged , as well as the details of the charges. In the end, everybody wants to know what they are paying for , and why they’re paying for the amount that they are paying.
It’s more important than you might have ever realized to get your home to be exactly as you would like it to. If you are unsure regarding this, take a look at the difference between how your home appears when you got rid of waste as opposed to when you left it in place.

The column heading labels in the Cycle Plan Target view can be configured with customer-specific values through Veeva Messages. The Veeva Messages for the abbreviated column headings are delivered as follows:
Message Name |
The Text field reflects the default values, represented by the first letter of the field display name. You can populate the label with any string as required by the customer, keeping in mind that the column width expands based on the string length. That expansion could require users to scroll to see the entire table content.
All messages are Active by default. To configure these messages, deactivate the current message, clone it, and activate the customized version, as per standard Veeva configuration.
For example, Amy Adams wants her team to focus on upcoming calls. She renames the ABBR_SCHEDULED heading to Upcoming.
Ensure initial configuration is complete before enabling this functionality.
The Attainment column does not have a customizable column heading. It will always display as %.

In the high-pressure, low-budget world of non-profits every organization has what feels like a never-ending list of tasks that NEED to get done. It is easy to get caught up in the thank-you letters, planning the next event, and preparing for that committee meeting. So it is understandable that non-profit managers often fall into the trap of managing this list of urgent tasks instead of the employees completing them.
While this may work for the short term, it is not an effective way to build a well-functioning team long-term. When your only check-in with your staff focuses on the “to-do” list, and the “to-do” list just keeps getting longer you can quickly drive your team to burn out. In addition, this approach undervalues your employees as people, which can lead to them feeling resentful… are they just another “cog in the wheel” so to speak?
Try working with your employees around their behaviors and habits instead. Help them develop behaviors that lead to success. Take time to get to know them and learn what high level skills they possess, and where they can improve. When you manage the team member, you are not only telling them you value them as an employee, you are making your life easier as well! This strategy leads to more efficient employees, who can actually complete more tasks, and feel more fulfilled.

June 12 – Youthful Ruler – II Chronicles 34-35
There are many similarities with yesterday’s story and today’s story, but with a significant difference in ending. Josiah was eight years old when he became king. The main difference is found in 34:3. Josiah began to seek a personal relationship with God. At 16 years of age he began to destroy the groves of the false idols that people were worshipping. It took him 10 years to completely get rid of the false idols, it was then that he began to repair the House of the Lord. He was 26 years old when Shaphan read the Bible to him. In 34:27 Josiah listened and heeded the Bible. In verse 31 Josiah decided and made a covenant before God. In verse 33 Josiah took action. It was said of Josiah that he caused others to serve God, and he followed God all his days and “departed not from following the Lord.” This is something we all wish for our children. It is important but not enough to train our kids to join a ministry to serve God, memorize verses, read a devotional, and faithfully attend church. It vitally important to help them nurture a personal relationship with God. It is necessary to beg God to give our children a desire to please God. Let me ask you a personal question . . . when was the last time you fasted and prayed for your child to have godly desires? We love our children more than words can describe, but too often we allow other distractions to steal our focus and prayers for them.

AVP and CTO Update, May 19, 2020
Now that the Victoria Day long weekend is behind us, I want to declare that summer is here! Or at least that is how I am choosing to embrace each day from now until September. Please join me in that mind set if you like. It means every day is a sunny day and you can wear white as much as you like!
There was a time in Higher Ed IT when we used to think of the summer as ‘project time’, a time of reduced operational demands that allowed for catch up projects to enhance or improve our infrastructure and systems. Disruptive maintenance and the release of new systems was often targeted for the 4 months from May to August, and new service features would be implemented in readiness for the return of our students in the fall.
There was also a time when it felt like these summer months had a more relaxed pace, with time to just think, explore new ideas, attend a conference or two and, in some cases, goof off. I *might* recall being an analyst at another university early in my career when it was not unheard of for a group of us to take a ‘long lunch’ at the Pergola driving range and batting cages because there ‘wasn’t that much going on’! That Guelph establishment no longer exists…there is a shopping plaza and movie theatre there – although quiet enough that you could hit a few golf balls without injuring anyone, these days.
I am betting most of you will agree that those ‘lazy hazy’ summer days are no longer the norm (if indeed ‘skipping school’ to hit the driving range was ever the norm). The truth is, we just don’t seem to have that luxury anymore: now that technology is embedded in all aspects of the university mission, operational demands are year round. And while disruption is tolerated in order to bring new system online or up to date, we know it is never really seen as ‘OK’. Add in a long list of McMaster IT Strategic initiatives and a pandemic’s worth of technology focused activities and post pandemic planning, and what do you get? A very busy group of McMaster IT professionals, and an equally busy summer stretching out before us!
One notable project that we hope will cause only minimal disruption, balanced with great rewards, is our McMaster Mail (powered by Microsoft 365) project which moves into high gear this week. As I like to say: “It’s Happening!” Before the summer is out, we will be able to enjoy the fully integrated collaboration benefits of the Microsoft 365 environment. This is an exciting step forward for workflow and collaboration amongst staff and faculty. Thank you in advance to everyone for supporting the migration as it unfolds over the next weeks, and to our Project Team who are ‘getting it done’, a big hat’s off to you!
Despite what feels like a never ending parade of activities and demands on our time, we also need to pace ourselves and enjoy the summer. This includes blocking vacation time away from your computer over these next few months. That may seem counter intuitive during a pandemic, however you still need to take a break, and what better time to do it than when the weather is nice? We are fortunate to live in an area where there are trails and green spaces, and a glimmer of hope that some of our recreational outlets will be opening. Golf courses are open now for example. And perhaps you will discover a new summer hobby like gardening or cycling, or painting outside, or watching birds? If all else fails, planning your next destination trip, even if you can’t go anywhere, is apparently good for your health, too. Dream a little!
That’s how I see IT for today – I hope you have a great week!

From code to conifers: McMaster IT staff cultivate community and sustainability on Earth Day
In a heartening display of community spirit and environmental stewardship, IT staff at McMaster University traded their keyboards for garden shovels this Earth Day. A team gathered at the west entrance of the McMaster Divinity College to transform a simple patch of grass into a flourishing garden.
The initiative, organized by the University Technology Services (UTS) social committee, saw staff members, led collaboratively by Derek Konieczny and other committee members, plant conifers and a serviceberry tree. These plants were generously donated by the McMaster Athletics and Recreation Department and UTS, chosen for their low maintenance and environmental benefits.
“It’s more than just planting trees; it’s about growing as a team and contributing to sustainability,” said Derek Konieczny. “It feels great to step out of the office and make a tangible impact on our environment.”
Princy Olakkengil, another UTS team member, added, “Seeing our collective effort take shape has been really rewarding. This garden is a small but powerful symbol of what we can achieve together.”
By the afternoon, the area had been transformed. The new garden not only beautifies the entrance but also serves as a living symbol of how collective effort can lead to positive change.
This initiative was one of many ways McMaster community members recognized and celebrated Earth Day at McMaster. To read more about Earth Day at McMaster, visit the Daily News.

According to a report from Japan’s Nikkan Sports, which has been all over the Shogo Akiyama story, the outfielder has reached an agreement with the Reds on a three-year deal expected to be over $15 million. That’s a little more than what some believed he was seeking, but it’s right in line with what Bruce Levine of 670 The Score had put out there earlier in the month.
Akiyama had been a Cubs target and would have satisfied their needs for an everyday centerfielder with a contact-heavy, high-OBP plate approach, but the cost was higher than their baseball budget currently allows. Akiyama will turn 32 in April and recently suffered a broken foot, so there was some question about how he’ll age. Neither of those factors necessarily bodes well for him, particularly when his defense appears to be on the decline, though $5 million AAV is hardly a big risk.
In addition to missing out on a player who seemed like a good fit, the Cubs have to deal with a division rival landing said player. Not only that, but the Reds had the Cubs’ number last season and have been aggressive this winter in making improvements. After going 8-11 against the Reds in 2019, their worst record against any divisional opponent, the Cubs are only .500 against them over the last two seasons. And now Cincy has a more balanced lineup to go with a solid pitching staff.
So with the Brewers and Cardinals similarly stagnant in their efforts to improve for next season, the biggest threat to Cubs may come from below. Not exactly encouraging for a team that finished third in the Central after collapsing down the stretch.
So, uh, happy New Year!

The great thing about this coffee plantation is precisely the area in which it is located and that is why I call it the blessing of Toro Negro. This coffee plantation is within the Toro Negro forest at about 3,000 feet above sea level between the three highest peaks in the country and has a series of resources like Lake Guineo and microclimates that maintain a stable temperature for the production of specialty coffee.
The Arabic varieties that Alfonso Pérez and his brother Ricardo work for their specialty brand Alquimia are Marsellesa, Limaní and Catuaí. This coffee has been send for cupping multiple times with two different Q graders, Joey Stazzone of Café Creyole in Virginia and Kim Ossenblok's with his online cupping community based in Europe. Both entities of Q graders agreed on the great potential of this coffee and its particular notes of tropical fruits such as peach, mango and pineapple. Within the characteristics of a Puerto Rican coffee, it is something quite unusual and you will not normally find it.
Listen to Alfonso Pérez interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibWLfOXDy3g
Café Alquimia is doing a rebranding and we are honored that the Pérez family has given us the exclusive confidence to re-launch this great coffee for our Cuela Community. This coffee is excellent for filter methods like Chemex, Kalita or V60. In this way you will be able to perceive those aromas and flavors of tropical fruits in the most pleasant way possible.
We invite you to support the Pérez brothers and the Puerto Rican Coffee Industry.

Some advice in selecting my next preamp?
I am looking for my next preamp (used) - must be all tube and come with a top notch phono section as vinyl is my source of choice. Ideally it would also have a remote. I plan to spend somewhere in the $2k-$3.5k and am currently considering a Supratek Chenin, and a Cary SLP-98, though perhaps I would consider Thor or McIntosh. Currently, I pair a Conrad Johnson PV-5 with a CJ 2200 SS power amp. My tt is an old Oracle with a Dynavector high output MC. Speakers are Maggies with an Infinity SW.
Anyone care to weigh in with suggestions?

Mastaplex 100 – Axiolabs (INT)
Drostanolone propionate, a synthetic form of dihydrotestosterone, does not aromatize and is not turned into estrogens when used as directed. Not every athlete has muscles of a high caliber due to mastery. This is primarily dependent on the athlete’s low body fat percentage. In this case, the decisive factor is drosalone propionate alone. Consequently, it is typically advised to utilize drostalone propionate no earlier than the final four weeks prior to the competition. When used with steroids like Winstrol, Primobolan, Oxandrolone, and Testosterone Propionate, Masteron works exceptionally well.
How does it work?
The body retains nitrogen better when Gear steroids like drosatomilone propionate are used. Amino acids, the building blocks of protein, contain a critical component called nitrogen. Growth of muscles and tissue healing are linked to positive nitrogen balance. One of the well-known effects of drosatomone propionate is its capacity to decrease the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.
By reducing fat accumulation and water retention, Mastaplex 100 for sale promotes a more solid and thin appearance. Drostanolone propionate users frequently report feeling stronger and more resilient, which is advantageous for bodybuilders and athletes when they’re training.
Although some people use lengthier cycles, most Drostanolone Propionate cycles last between six and twelve weeks. If adverse effects are to be avoided, shorter cycles could be desirable.
Typically, intramuscular injections are used to give drosalone propionate. Its short half-life means that, in order to keep blood levels steady, it is frequently injected every third or every other day.
The right amount of Mastaplex 100, which contains drostalone propionate, to take depends on a number of variables, such as personal objectives, degree of experience, and tolerance. A typical weekly dosage for male users of drostalone propionate may be between 300 and 500 milligrams. Higher dosages may be use by certain season users, but doing so raises the possibility of adverse consequences.
If females use it at all, they usually take significantly smaller doses, usually between 50 and 100 milligrams each week. Women should exercise caution to prevent virilization, or the development of masculine traits, as they are typically more susceptible to the effects of anabolic steroids.
These are a few advantages of Mastaplex 100 – Axiolabs (INT)
- Maintaining Lean Muscle:
People who are cutting can utilize steroids for sale to maintain lean muscle mass and minimize body fat. This is essential if you want a toned and sculpted figure.
- Enhanced Recuperation:

- Enhanced Potency:
Buy Mastaplex 100 online Users often report improvements in strength and endurance, which can be beneficial for physical preparation and athletic performance.
These are a few potential adverse effects.
- Hair Fall
- Libido Variations
- Inhibition of Testosterone
- Sexualization of Women

Advertising Age reports that advertisers are demanding issue-by-issue circulation guarantees, as opposed to averages.
“The new power play reflects the growing demand for precision metrics in the media business, a drive fueled by an internet model that seems to promise instant accountability. It is also, though, part of a broader regime change in the industry, one that has delivered dominance to advertisers from media owners. Marketers now have too many options and have found too many ways to sell themselves, beyond traditional advertising, for publishers or broadcasters to keep setting the agenda. There’s a reason commercial ratings on TV have arrived at last: Advertisers seem to finally have enough leverage to force the issue.”

I don’t know about you, but this drives me batty!
How on earth can so many marketing/art departments, agencies or owners be SO out of touch with the social world and neglect one of the key reasons they are spending an obscene amount of money on the damn ad to begin with? It’s to connect with the people who BUY their product.
Every time I see a company that uses the ‘Find Us’ philosophy in their advertising – the first thing I think of as a consumer is “you could give a sh*t about me and expect me to do all the leg work to search for you, to find your product” . . . No thanks. Putting “find us” in your advertising has, for some, become the new designer handbag that clashes with everything.
For the record – Yes, I do design ads and business cards among other things and, to my memory, have never used the ‘find us’ philosophy. It is simply offensive as a consumer (and I will ALWAYS be a consumer first.)
You want to know a not so secret secret? You have seconds, to catch someones attention – so do you really want it to be an instant and negative ‘Find us’ you do all the work to see how awesome we are online’ encounter?
Just sit back for a second and imagine how many more genuinely interested fans/followers you would have if you just gave your customers the right directions to where you wanted to engage with them.
If you are an agency/magazine and allow something like this to go to print for one of your clients you should be bitch slapped. To be fair though, I do have to say that many businesses take the “we’ll design your ad for free” deal for the publication they are advertising in – and when they do, they fracture their brand. No offense – but most publications have absolutely no investment in your brand consistency . . . the only thing they have in mind is filling ad space. There are a rare few who ‘get it’ and will ask to see collateral marketing to guide their design – but in my experience . . . they are far and few between.
Here are a few examples of those doing it well and more of those who could use a little help to find their way out of the “find us” philosophy.

Denmark leads EU in budget surplus
Denmark ranked highest in public finance surplus relative to GDP among the 27 EU countries in 2023. Updated figures from Statistics Denmark show a surplus of DKK 92.7 billion, or 3.3% of GDP. The assessment is based on a major revision of national accounts completed before the end of September this year. Initially, Denmark and Cyprus were tied with a 3.1% surplus, but after the revision, Denmark’s surplus was adjusted slightly upward, while Cyprus’s was revised down to 2%. This marks the fifth consecutive year Denmark has topped the list in EU financial surplus. Only four EU countries had a surplus, with the remaining 23 facing a deficit. Senior economist Kristian Skriver attributes Denmark’s solid public surplus to withdrawal reforms. In 2023, 17 out of 27 EU countries met the Maastricht Treaty’s deficit limit of 3% of GDP.

Silver City is a gem in Southwest New Mexico with forest recreation, a vibrant historic downtown, art community, and dozens of festivals and events. Nestled against the 3.3 million acre Gila National Forest, Silver City is a quirky cultural town of just over 10,000 people.
Silver City is a hidden gem. It is, on the one hand, the Wild West and on the other one big hippie commune filled with artists and those exploring the metaphysical. If I had a third hand, I would also mention that it is home to Western New Mexico University so it also has a youthful spirit in the mix. It is an amazing collection of people. It is worth a visit to see Silver City to see Silver City, but it is really worth a visit if you are interested in exploring the Gila Forest or the Gila Cliff dwellings. It makes for a perfect jumping off point.
Silver City is a small town, with just 10,000 people, but packs a punch with a dozen or so restaurants, thirty plus art galleries, and coffee shops and a co-op grocery store all along a few downtown streets.
We stayed in the historic, centrally located, Palace Hotel. The hotel was built in the 1880s and restored in the 1990s. In some ways, it needs another update just to freshen it up a bit. But, for what it lacked in modernity, it compensated for charm and location. We love being able to park our car and rely on our own two feet to get around. Staying there allowed us to do just that. A few things to note–they offer on-street parking and there is not an elevator, so if you have issues climbing stairs, this might not be the best spot for you. It is also an old building, so some quirks are to be expected. For example, you’ll hear creaking of floorboards and the bathroom was comically tight. But, the period art, the location, and history made up for those quirks.
We got in on a Friday evening and after checking into the Palace, we headed over to Little Toad Creek for a beer and some food. Honestly, neither are really worth writing home about. But, what was so lovely was the live music and the neighborhood feel. Amazingly, they have live music just about every night of the week!
Another lovely attraction–the Faywood Hotsprings! This is totally a 60-year-old-hippie hangout and I loved it. They have clothing-required public pools, nudist pools, and private pools, choose your own comfort level, although there are more temperature offerings in the nudist section than in the other sections. The springs are in the middle of nowhere, so you really do feel relaxation waving over you from the calming mineral waters to the sounds of silence. I went during the day, but was tempted to go back once it was dark to enjoy what must be a very dark sky.
Silver City is a very small town, so you can spend a day or two and feel like you’ve seen it all. Wander down the main streets, enjoy the arts, grab dinner at Revel, and enjoy some hikes in nearby Gila!

Keen-eyed observers will note that this blog has been fairly inactive for a very long time. It’s been my little corner of the web for many years. I bought the domain in 2004, though I didn’t start posting here until 2007. The archives go back to about 2000, with many posts imported from earlier online spaces of mine (Blogger, anyone?).
For years though, this website has languished, with tiny spurts of activity and long bouts of silence.
So what is it that’s gotten me inspired to start writing here again? With two posts this past week on Mastodon, obviously that’s been a bit of an inspiration, but what is it about Mastodon that has me wanting to revive this little old blog of mine?
In short, it’s something I touched on in a previous post – the way Mastodon reminds me of the early days of the internet.
Back before private equity and corporations took over and started building walled gardens to keep us trapped us inside.
Before advertisers started throwing mountains of money at anyone who could deliver eyeballs and mountains of personal data in return.
Before the great algorithm that rules all, and tells us what we want to see, as it peels back our eyelids and force-feeds us the content that will maximize “engagement”.
Before rage farming and viral tweets and celebrity meltdowns and election misinformation and covid disinformation and the endless battle against spam and bots and nazis.
The internet in its early days was a place made by the users of the internet, for each other. People had their own spaces, loosely connected over technologies like RSS and Atom.
The very foundation of the internet is openness. The free exchange of ideas and information. With open standards and protocols to tie it all together.
The modern social web is the antithesis of the open web. It is all walled gardens with anemic APIs and private apps. It does not want you to move around and explore the open web, it wants you to stay seated and receive the content that will keep you engaged while it siphons off your personal data to sell to advertisers.
Mastodon and the Fediverse feel like a return to that earlier internet. Without advertising, it feels unblemished by corporate greed. Without the algorithm constantly elevating the latest trends and viral messages above even the people you choose to follow, Mastodon feels more conversational. Engagement takes on a new/renewed meaning.
When you find a Mastodon community aligned with your interests, your local timeline is a treasure trove of new connections and conversations. Your home timeline is your own, made up of who and what you follow, with the newest stuff up top.
There are no tracking cookies, no link proxies, no advertisements, and no data harvesting. Mastodon doesn’t know where you’ve been and it doesn’t try to follow you around the internet.
And Mastodon is built on an open protocol, ActivityPub. More broadly, the Fediverse is made up of many different services that implement ActivityPub, and all of these disparate services are connected to each other.
The Fediverse is distributed and decentralized, but not in a bullshit web3 marketing kinda way. It is small pieces loosely joined.
But I digress.
So what does all that have to do with this blog? I mean, aside from inspiring a few posts? Well it’s gotten me thinking about my presence on the web and data ownership.
This is my home on the internet. Over the years, I’ve struggled with how it fits into the broader ecosystem of the modern internet and social media.
It languished while I built up my presence in other spaces, sharing my thoughts and stories elsewhere.
But Mastodon has reminded me of what was, and can be again. We don’t have to give over the entire public square to private ownership by a few.
We can build our own communities, and we can own our data and self-publish, and still find human connection on the internet.
And we don’t have to sell ourselves to do it.
So, is this just another spurt of activity, soon to be followed by a long silence? I don’t know.
But as I dig further into Mastodon and the Fediverse, I find myself inspired to write about it, and this is where I will do that.

For several days now our weather forecast has been adorned with bright red warnings alerting us to “WINTER STORM WARNING” and “SNOWFALL WARNING”. After our past few summer and winter droughts, I was happy to see that we would get some snow. “Finally,” I told myself, “we are returning to what used to be normal for our winters.”
I got all prepared for the snowfall. I checked the oil in my snowblower, and put gas in the tank. When I pulled the cord, it started right up. I blew out a bit of snow, just to test that everything was working. (photo below) I was ready for the predicted snowfall, but day after day, nothing materialized except for a tiny dusting of the white stuff.
Now, I am back to feeling that we are not going to get a “normal” winter this year. The only optimistic thing is that at least we do have about 3 to 4 inches (7-10 cm) of snow on the ground, so that gives the ground a bit of insulation in case we get a spell of really frigid weather.
At present the wind is blowing and the temperature outside is +1°C (33°F)

As a business owner, one of your main goals is always expansion. Bringing your products and services to as many people as possible is crucial for the success of your business in our rapidly moving world. Expanding globally can seem like a whole new challenge, but it can be made easier with a good sales and inventory management system. Here are a few of the ways that implementing an inventory management software can help you break the barrier to global expansion.
Saving money where you can is important, but it takes a lot of man hours to manually track your inventory. Using an inventory management software will make everyone’s jobs much easier and faster, reducing the need for overtime. Additionally, your team members will be happier with having things more automated, meaning fewer errors, better allocated time, and improved morale on all sides.
Another major business cost is storage. You’ve got to have somewhere to put your inventory! Tracking your inventory manually makes you subject to errors, and if you wind up with too much product, you’ll have to find somewhere to put it. With a good management software in your hands, you’ll be able to more accurately track your products and only plan for what you need.
You can’t be everywhere at once, so checking in on your global inventory can be challenging. Utilizing a sales and inventory management system can help you stay on top of the numbers, even from halfway around the world. Your team will all be on the same page and can help update your numbers in real time.
Having your numbers at your fingertips makes it easier to predict the future of your company. See what products are popular in certain quarters to see how much needs to be ordered or determine if a product is no longer profitable. You can plan with confidence with a great inventory management software at your disposal, making it simpler to continue to expand!
Today’s world moves fast, and for your business to expand, you have to be able to keep up. Having a sales and inventory management system is crucial for presenting accurate numbers to your vendors, reducing lead times, ensuring easier order placement for customers, and delivering your products more quickly. You’ll save everyone time and money and will better your relationships and your reputation.
Global expansion is a big step in your business, and utilizing a management software can put you in the right direction. You’ll find that your whole team saves time, money, and stress, and you can make the most out of your company. Contact us today for more information on the services offered through DEAR and what we can do to help you expand and thrive.

Starbucks Drive-Throughs Feature Eurobrick
Starbucks has been following an expansion programme across the UK creating a number of new drive-through restaurants. Brick cladding specialists Eurobrick Systems have been supplying contractors, including Trojan Construction Management with their systems and products as part of an overall mixed palette of finishes on a number of projects.
In 2019, Eurobrick provided its cladding materials to Trojan for two new drive-throughs, one at Hadley in Telford and another at Weston-super-Mare. Eurobrick’s popular X-Clad system was used to create decorative feature walling that could be seen both inside and outside of the new stores.
At the Weston-super-Mare store Eurobrick supplied 77m² of their 17mm thick X-Clad system, along with Smooth White brick slips and corners from their Britannia Premium Selection range. Eurobrick’s specially formulated pointing mortar was chosen in white to finish the brickwork. The overall effect of the white bricks and mortar was an eye-catching contrast to the dark coloured panels used on the exterior walls.
At the Hadley store in Telford, Eurobrick supplied 43m² of their 17mm thick X-Clad along with specially sourced Vandersanden Livrono and Vandersanden Zwart Mangaan slips and corners which were finished with standard grey Europoint mortar. Eurobrick has a wide selection of brick and stone slip finishes available but they are also able to specially source a wide range of brick types and colours to suit any project.

Saga Humane Society supporters were delighted to attend the first ever “Spay-ghetti No Balls” Dinner. Hosted at Stella’s Smile in Tres Cocos on Wednesday, April 20th, the event was another successful fundraiser for Saga’s Spay/Neuter Initiative Program (SNIP) Campaign. The activity had an excellent turnout with great music and raffles keeping supporters well entertained.
For a contribution of $40, attendees sampled one of the best spaghetti dinners in town. The buffet-style dinner comprised of fresh green salad, spaghetti with marinara sauce and freshly baked garlic bread. Gourmet meat balls were also available for an additional $5 each. Stella’s fabulous sangria simply added to the fun.
While attendees enjoyed their dinner and socialized, DJ Matt Hoy was taking requests and spinning everyone’s favorite tunes. At the same time several raffles were held and lucky winners walked away with fabulous prizes.
According to Saga’s Dawn LoCascio, the event was a bit different from the usual monthly cook-off. She indicated that it was also held to commemorate the visit of two veterinarians that frequently visit the island- Dr. Donald Tummons and Dr. Suzanne Stack. They have been coming to the island for many years to spend their vacation, and during their visit they always seek ways to contribute to the community through their profession. During their visit this time, they offered free surgeries through the SNIP program at Saga from Tuesday, April 19th through Thursday, April 21st.
LoCascio encourages all pet owners to take advantage of their spay/neutering service, as the benefits are endless. Pets are less aggressive, stray population is reduced, there is a lower the risk of cancer, and pets are less prone to roam. Additionally, the procedure can increase their life span up to five years!
Plans for next year’s event are already being discussed, and due to the success of the first one, organizers feel the second annual dinner will be extra fabulous.
Saga would like to thank everyone who attended, and they extend special thanks to Stella’s Smile, Dr. Donald Tummons, Dr. Suzanne Stack, DJ Matt Hoy, the entire Saga staff and all the sponsors who provided the prizes for the raffles.

Thanks for the input. What if they want to be treated as separate sites? Do you think they should want to be treated like separate sites? The idea is these are franchises all over the country, so they have vastly different audiences/geolocations.
For us, we're really on the fence about which route we should take.

Enjoy the region
The Camden Haven
As the river meanders through this magificent valley….
The Camden Haven is located thirty minutes south of Port Macquarie and forty minutes north of Taree. This ‘Valley of Villages’ hugs the Camden Haven River as it makes its way from the lush Comboyne Plateau to the blue Pacific Ocean.
As the river meanders through this magnificent valley it passes through the villages of Lorne, Kendall, Kew, Laurieton, Dunbogan, entering the sea between North Haven and Camden Head. Bonny Hills lies to the north overlooking Grants & Rainbow beaches. Just a further five minutes north is Lake Cathie with its beautiful lake, lagoon and beaches.
A key drawcard to the district is the myriad of waterways which make up the Camden Haven Inlet. The beautiful Lorne Valley, Watson Taylor’s Lake, Queen’s Lake, Pilot Beach and Googleys Lagoon are some of the natural features which are home to an abundance of marine and bird life.
These waterways offer something for all lovers of water sports with fishing, boating, surfing, swimming and kayaking on offer.
The Treehouse Retreat is the perfect base from which to enjoy all the wonderful things the region has to offer.

Tremor International has entered into an agreement to purchase Amobee from Singtel ending a months-long search that represents the closure of yet another telco’s multibillion-dollar flirtation with ad tech.
So, what’s the deal?
Tremor International yesterday (July 25) confirmed it has entered into an agreement to purchase Amobee in a proposed $239 million transaction that would be enabled by a new $100 million debt facility.
The proposed deal is expected to close in the coming weeks with Tremor also expected to obtain a $50 million revolving credit facility which the company claimed would be used to facilitate “future strategic investments and initiatives.”
And what’s the idea here?
In a statement, Tremor CEO Ofer Druker noted how the addition of Amobee’s capabilities would complement its existing ad stack, particularly as it seeks to progress its online video and CTV ambitions.
“Additionally, the Transaction would fulfill our strategy to add significant global scale and self-service growth to our demand side platform, increase our U.S. and international customer reach and data footprint, and drive more advertiser spend to our SSP [supply-side platform], Unruly,” he added.
Among the expected benefits highlighted by Tremor was the ability to scale its demand-side platform, particularly its self-service platform, within 12 months of the closure of the proposed deal. Additionally, Amobee’s CTV relationships (including a lucrative deal with U.K. broadcaster ITV) were cited as a potential boon.
What do the numbers look like?
Earlier this year, Digiday obtained documents circulated by parties attempting to facilitate Singtel’s hopes of offloading its ad tech subsidiary which suggested that gross spending on Amobee in 2020 was $700 million.
However, net spend on the platform, which includes a DSP, email marketing services plus other ad tech capabilities, was closer to $160 million that year, according to Digiday sources. In its latest announcement, Tremor claimed that spending on the platform was close to $150 million after traffic acquisition costs in the 12 months to June 30, 2022.
Another telco divests its ad tech
The completion of the deal will mean (yet another) telco has written off its earlier ad tech assets, a series of investments that Singtel had assembled at a cost of more than $1 billion over the course of 10 years.
This trend has been spelled out through several high-profile deals such as the May 2021 sale of Yahoo to private equity firm Apollo Management by Verizon, meanwhile, rival U.S. telco AT&T drew a line under its ad tech aspirations with the sale of Xandr to Microsoft later in the year.
Both of these sales were understood to have come at a significant write-down compared to the telcos’ initial investment with concerns over privacy thought to be at the heart of both companies making a U-turn on their earlier strategies.
More in Marketing
While the deal’s official close is still a long way off and there may be regulatory hurdles to clear before the acquisition is complete, it’s still worth charting out who the winners and losers may be.

Facing an Uncertain Future at the Tower of Terror
Lessons From the Tower of Terror Are Just a Part of the Insights From My New Book, Disney’s Hollywood Studios: From Show Biz to Your Biz
This week is the 25th Silver Anniversary of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In tribute to this remarkable park, we’re capturing some of the amazing details many guests never see. This one comes from The Hollywood Tower Hotel Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. When you enter the boiler room, follow the longest stretch of corridor. Just before boarding an elevator, look down toward your left. It is a dumping ground of abandoned industrial parts, coated with dust in the dim light. But a card stands within the clutter, and it offers the following promise:
The quote reads: “It’s easy enough to be pleasant, when life hums along like a song. But the man worth while is the man who can smile when everything goes dead wrong.”
Of course the quotation is a perfect hint of things to come as you board the elevator at the Tower of Terror. But it also offers some sage advice to anyone trying to muddle through the “ups and downs” of life.
The story of the Hollywood Tower is set to an eventful date on October 31, 1939, when lightening struck the hotel. But the real fate of Hollywood and the rest of the country came on October 29, 1929, almost ten years earlier to the day. Known as Black Tuesday, stock prices collapsed and more than 16 million shares were traded on the New York Stock Exchange on a single day. Billions of dollars were lost, and in the months and years to come a Great Depression ensued. By 1933, nearly half of America’s banks had gone under, and nearly 30% of America was unemployed.
Roy Disney spoke of that time and his own fears:
“When the banks were closed in 1933, of course I was frantic–what are we gonna do for money? So I was stewing and worrying and Walt was impatient with me. He said, ‘Quit worrying about it. People aren’t going to stop living just because the banks are closed. What the hell, we’ll make potatoes the medium of exchange. We’ll pay everybody in potatoes.'”
Perhaps it is no coincidence that when you step away from the Tower of Terror, you face the Carthay Circle theater. What happened between that date and when Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs premiered in 1937 is a story of a “man who can smile when everything goes dead wrong.” It’s a message of working through your fears, of being persistent in your vision, and in facing an uncertain future.
If you enjoy this kind of message, one that not only informs you about the details of this amazing park, but enlightens you with messages about how to face life itself, you will definitely want to pick up a copy of Disney’s Hollywood Studios: From Show Biz to Your Biz, published by Theme Park Press. It’s packed with over 40 examples taken from the park’s experience. And it shares the “rest of the story” that happened during those difficult years prior to the release of Snow White. Celebrate not just the park’s anniversary, but your own life with this unique book!

Interacting With Voi Blockchain
Interacting with the Voi blockchain is always done through a node in the network. A node is a device with sufficient resources running the appropriate software that is connected to the network.
Every node on the Voi blockchain network runs Voi Algod, software built into the node that allows users to interact with the network. There are three main ways to interact with the network through a node. There is the Command Line Interface (CLI), a series of APIs and SDKs implemented in a number of languages.
Developers should run a local instance of a node so that they can interact with Voi blockchain.
There are also public node APIs available that expose the API of a node run by a 3rd party.

As fall approaches and kids are heading back to school, businesses are buzzing and ramping up their goals and objectives for the coming year. For many, this means gearing up for fall conferences, fundraiser galas, or other company hosted events. Planning an event while staying focused on your usual work load can feel extremely overwhelming. Here are 4 tips to help you de-stress and stay on track for your next event!
Make a list of to-do’s and break it down into specifics.
- What needs to be done?
- When does the task need to be completed?
- Who will it be assigned to?
Prioritizing your tasks and completing the most important or time sensitive action items first will help you and your team stay on track. For more information, check out one of past blogs on how to effectively set goals and stay organized!
Create a System
Whether your team uses Google Drive or another program to share files during the planning process, this information needs to be easily accessible. Having knowledge and visibility on the status of tasks/projects to be completed helps to reassure that everything is being taken care of.
Have a weekly phone call or meeting to discuss the event. Prepare an agenda to help keep the conversation on track, clarify action items, assign tasks and due dates, and send out a meeting recap. It’s also important to recognize when you or another team member is overwhelmed. Ask for help, or take a project off somebody’s plate if there are other important tasks they should be focusing on.
Celebrate the Small Victories
Whether you have found all of your sponsors, met your fundraising goal, or had an all-time high attendance at your event, treat your team! Establish a positive atmosphere that encourages your team to push themselves to reach these goals.
Is planning an event out of your realm? We can help! Our goal is to help our clients by taking care of all the details so they can enjoy their event! Give us a call or send us an email, we would love to hear from you!

They say that “old” is a relative term. “You are as old as you think…
Aren’t you glad that in God’s economy things are upside down? We may be down, but God lifts us up. Some are imprisoned for their faith, but God sets their spirits free. You may be rejected by your family, but God accepts you and loves you unconditionally. Much of the world’s population is poor by the world’s standards, but God has provided riches in heaven for those who are His children by faith in Christ.
When God told Samuel to anoint a new king from Jesse’s family, the proud father brought out all of his sons to the prophet. Well, all but one. Each of the likely candidates, according to physical expectations, was rejected. When the youngest and smallest of the sons, David, was finally brought in for inspection, they were all surprised that he received the approval. Samuel said these words (familiar to all of us now), “man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (I Samuel 16:7).
God’s unlikely choices often astound us. There’s not only David, but what about Gideon? He was hiding from his dreaded enemies when God gave him a job to do. Or what about Moses, a murderer? Or Rahab and Ruth, foreigners who were chosen by God to be ancestors of Jesus Himself? And the disciples were all unlikely candidates, weren’t they? Lowly fishermen, a despised tax collector working with the Romans, a hotheaded political zealot, a smart accountant who stole from the treasury and betrayed Jesus in the end.
So why should we be surprised that God has called us to serve Him? Unlikely, yes. But tools in the capable Master’s hands. God’s purpose is to show His power, not ours. The apostle Paul was on a mission to destroy Christians, but God changed him in a sudden heavenly encounter. In one of his epistles he wrote: “You see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence” ( I Corinthians 1:26-29). He also wrote: “I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong” (II Corinthians 12:10).
That’s God’s upside down economy. And I’m glad to be a part of it, aren’t you?

The SANDLAB (Social Affective Neuroscience of Decision-making)
The lab is interested in the neurobiological, motivational, and cognitive bases of human social behavior. A major focus of the lab is the use of computational models (neural network models) and current neurobiological findings and methods to illuminate various aspects of human social thought and behavior. We are especially interested in the integration of computational models with behavioral and neurobiological findings.
The lab addresses a number of central topics in human social reasoning and behavior. Our primary ones are listed below and on our research links.
The lab is deeply involved in understanding human motivation and is approaching this from multiple perspectives. The foundation of our work is a neurobiological and computational model of human motivation based on the behavior of the ventral striatal (nucleus accumbens) dopamine reward system. We are examining normal Motivation and Decision-making, the structure and dynamics of normal personality and pathologies of motivation, such as depression and anxiety
Our lab focuses on building neurobiologically plausible neural network models in different domains:
- Structure and Dynamics of Personality
- Motivated Decision-making and Behavior
- Pathologies of Motivation: Depression, Anxiety
- Social Evaluation and Threat Perception
- Coherence-based Reasoning in Decision-making
- Coherence in Belief Systems, Belief Change and attitude accessibility
- Impression Formation and Person Perception
We have conducted a series of studies testing a coherence-based model of decision making based on these parallel constraint satisfaction processes in neural networks. We have investigated decision-making and judgment in both legal and everyday contexts. Our work has looked at both Cold Cognition and Hot Cognition 0r Motivated Cognition.
Dan Simon and I have recently published an article arguing that Coherence-based reasoning is the mechanism behind a wide range of reasoning biases.
We have proposed a model of social perception that argues that making sense of other’s behavior is very much like understanding a story where, as we read the story, we build a more and more detailed mental model or mental structure of the characters and events, and the motivation and personality of the characters. To build these mental models or narrative structures we draw on a rich body of knowledge that we have developed over our years, and we use constraint satisfaction processes to fit these pieces of knowledge together into a coherent representation.
A fundamental requirement for truly understanding human motivation is having a detailed hierarchical taxonomy of human motivation that allows us to move from the broadest of human motives to fairly specific goals. Over the years my colleagues and I have developed two detailed, hierarchical taxonomies of human motives.
Neurobiology of Risky Decision-making
We conducted a NIDA funded grant that allowed us to examine the neural circuitry underlying risky decision making in METH and non-METH using men who have sex with men (MSM). We used a combination of fMRI, structural MRI, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), personality questionnaires, and computational modeling to attempt to capture the components and the neural circuit that underlies risky decision making.
We previously worked on an NIGMS funded grant on computational modeling of motivation, personality and risky decision-making. The project attempted to build a neurobiologically based model of the major components involved in risky decision-making.
Lynn Miller and I had an extensive body of work over about 20 years on using Interactive Media to change risky sexual behavior in men who have sex with men.

We tend to grow a strong bond with the celebrities we have watched throughout the years. They become almost like family or friends to us. One actor who has grown in the hearts of many for decades turns 70 this year.
Bill Murray has starred in countless iconic and successful films such as Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters over his long and illustrious acting career. His upcoming birthday on September 21 gives us a great reason to look back on all the wisdom he has imparted over the years.
On Awards and Recognition
Bill Murray once said about his famous film, “Groundhog Day was one of the greatest scripts ever written. It didn’t even get nominated for an Academy Award.” Murray is a fantastic actor, but he knows that awards and recognition are not determiners of success. He has always been unabashedly himself both in front of the camera and off. Murray reminds us that taking pride in your work is more important than chasing titles.
Everyone has experienced loneliness at some point in their life, and Bill Murray is no exception. Murray addresses the fact that while loneliness is a common feeling, it’s something that often isn’t talked about: “No one really wants to admit they are lonely, and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.”
Somehow it’s a little heartening to realize that even the biggest celebrities have felt the same things we feel. Murray certainly sees the importance of keeping people close. He advises that “anyone you can get help from or give help to; that’s part of your obligation”.
As the father of six children, Murray also has some interesting thoughts on parenting. Everyone talks about how magical parenthood is but he recalls “there is terror. Your life, as you know it, is over. It’s over the day that child is born. It’s over, and something completely new starts.” While Murray shares in the joy of fatherhood, he knows just how much it changes your life, and that can be a scary thing.
Let’s not forget this final parenting gem:

Happy birthday, Bill Murray. We love you.

Species Name: Indaeschna grubaueri
Male resting beside pond
Members of the family Aeshnidae are the gaints of the Odonata and this is one of the largest of the gaints. This is the second time that I've seen and photographed this species at the very same pond at the edge of a forest reserve near Lahad Datu town. The first time was in 2006 when I saw a male resting on vegetation at the side of the pond, and today I was fortunate enough to see this huge female ovipositing at this pond. Interestingly she was laying her eggs in the moist soil just above the water. This species is also known to lay its eggs in water-filled tree holes and on buttress cavities of large trees.
Female on the wing
Females of I. grubaueri have hindwings that measure up to 68mm while males are thinner and smaller with 59-62mm long hindwings. Both sexes are similarly coloured with bright lime-green markings on the thorax and wide bands on the abdomen.
Female ovipositing on wet soil above water line
This species is said to be widespread in lowland forest in Sundaland and the Philippines.

Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment system that provides optimal comfort and best results for patients. The key benefits of these aligners are their aesthetic appearance, and they are nearly invisible to others. Having them, you will overcome the feeling that when you smile, others will be staring at your orthodontic appliance. You will feel confident during and after the treatment is completed.
Invisalign are the first company in the world to start manufacturing aligners. Their products were approved by the "Food and Drug Administration" in 1998 and began sales in the United States in 1999. They started a revolution in orthodontic treatment. Their product has gradually become more popular and currently is the most contemporary trend in alignment of badly shaped teeth.
Use latest innovative technology
Leading edge technology determines functionality of the aligners. These are your best option in terms of efficiency, aesthetics and comfort. Invisalign consist a series of clear removable aligners that straighten teeth gradually and are nearly invisible to others.
They can be removed at any time
For example, when you have a special event coming up, you have the option to remove the aligners during that time and smile confidently. Clear aligners can be removed for eating, drinking and any other time you wish. You have the freedom to eat whatever you want and at the same time maintain excellent oral hygiene. Unlike other braces, with Invisalign your lifestyle remains unchanged.
From the very beginning, you know what your teeth will look like in the end of treatment
Patients who choose Invisalign have the incredible chance to learn in advance how their smile will look like after the orthodontic treatment, owing to a specialized virtual 3D plan - ClinCheck. They can also trace teeth movement and changes at different stages. Being able to see the final result in advance, patients are more likely to stay motivated and follow treatment regime thoroughly.
The treatment plan is formed after taking impressions of the teeth and thorough photographs analysis. This is to guarantee the efficacy of the treatment and the precision of the result at end. Once the orthodontist has decided how to proceed, a detailed 3D plan is developed. Through video visualization with ClinCheck, it shows how the teeth are expected to move during each phase of treatment. The final stage is aligners production and fitting.
You smile throughout the whole treatment
At first, you will wear each set of aligners for 2 weeks. Gradually, the teeth will adjust, getting closer to the desired position. During this period, scheduled follow-up visits will take place every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and evaluate the efficacy of treatment.
You don't have to change your lifestyle because of them
The duration of treatment is different for everyone and depends on the complexity of the specific case. Even if aligners need to be worn any longer, they are designed not to disturb the dynamics of your daily life. Once the active treatment with them is finalised, retention appliances are placed. Their function is to retain the aesthetics of the achieved alignment of the teeth.
Is Invisalign treatment right for you?
The Invisalign® system is applicable for less and more complicated cases. It is suitable for almost everyone who wants to have a impeccable smile.
Here are some of the most common problems that Invisalign® can resolve:
- Crowded teeth
- Distance between teeth
- Deep bite
- Open bite
If you have decided to transform your smile and are looking for a reliable orthodontist in Sofia, with whom to conduct treatment with the Invisalign system,please do not hesitate to contact me. I will help you to receive the beautifully arranged teeth that you dream of.
