In Moseley v. Unum Life Ins. Co. of Am., No. CV 22-40079-RGS, __F.Supp.3d__, 2023 WL 2324771 (D. Mass. Mar. 2, 2023) Massachusetts District Judge Richard G. Sterns denied Unum’s summary judgment motion, instead finding that Unum abused its discretion when it ceased providing disability benefits to Plaintiff pursuant to the mental illness limitation of her long-term disability policy. The Court entered judgment for Plaintiff, directed Plaintiff to file a motion for attorneys’ fees and costs, and remanded the matter to Unum to allow an independent medical examination (IME) and for reassessment of Plaintiff’s claim.
Unum had been paying LTD benefits to Plaintiff based on her diagnosis of Lyme Disease. In August of 2020, Unum terminated benefits citing the mental illness limitation of the LTD Policy. Plaintiff filed suit challenging the decision and arguing that Unum abused its discretion by concluding that the basis for her disability is psychological rather than physical. Unum moved for summary judgment.
The Court did not get into the substance of Unum’s claim determination as it found that Unum had committed procedural error in failing to provide Plaintiff with an IME upon request, thus rendering Unum’s benefits determination inherently arbitrary and capricious. See Lavery v. Restoration Hardware Long Term Disability Benefits Plan, 937 F.3d 71, 78 (1st Cir. 2019) (recognizing that procedural unreasonableness is an “important factor to consider in deciding whether to set aside a discretionary decision”). The Court noted that Unum’s Regulatory Settlement Agreement (RSA) unambiguously states that “[a]n IME … should be sought whenever … [t]he claimant or the AP requests an IME, either directly or through the claimant’s representative.” When Plaintiff requested an IME, Unum denied the request stating, “a current IME would not assess your client’s functional capacity from more than a year and a half ago when she was still receiving benefits and the policy was still in force.”
The Court reasoned, even assuming the RSA allows Unum to deny an express IME request from a claimant, the denial of Plaintiff’s request was erroneous given the inadequacy of Unum’s purported rationale. The parties did not dispute functional capacity. Unum agreed that Plaintiff was, and continuously had been, disabled for two years. The issue instead was the basis for that functional incapacity—a psychological condition or a physical condition.
The Court further noted that Unum’s adverse determination hinged, at least in part, on the alleged lack of objective medical evidence to support a diagnosis of Lyme disease. It reasoned that an IME could have remedied these alleged deficiencies, and the only plausible reason the court could find to deny Plaintiff an IME under these circumstances would be a desire to prevent her from having the opportunity to supplement the record to bolster her claim.

In 1976, Dr. Ronald Rohadfox, a civil engineer with a decade of experience at leading firms and mentorship from industry stalwarts, founded his own company, Construction Control Services. He established his legacy on the west coast, spending the early years teaching his children about the importance of project controls in heavy infrastructure.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, Dr. Rohadfox spent his formative years developing innovative solutions for global infrastructure challenges. During this period, he forged a significant partnership with World Bank and USAID. His projects included creating transportation and water solutions in Afghanistan, Pakistan & Africa. As the company expanded across the US, he ventured into the aviation sector by enhancing the LAX airport facilities in preparation for the 1984 Olympics.
Over the past four decades, the Rohadfox team has developed a name for themselves as visionary experts in the industry. Over the years, they have expanded their services and markets from project controls to project management, safety, and civil design. Today, this highly knowledgeable and skilled team is regarded as one of the best in the nation.
Today, the legacy continues, Joy Rohadfox, Ronald's daughter carries the firm’s reach with global projects.

Choosing the right roof for your home can be a complex process, as there are numerous materials and options to choose from. However, if you know what to look for, you can find the perfect solution for your home.
The first and most important factor to consider when choosing a roof is the climate in your region. For example, if you live in an area with frequent rain or snow, you need a roof that can withstand high humidity and loads.
The second important factor is the material of the roof. There are various materials available, such as metal, asphalt, shingles, ceramic tiles, and others. Each of these materials has its own advantages and disadvantages, so you need to consider your needs and preferences to determine which material is best suited for your home.
It is also important to consider the appearance of the roof and how it will blend with the overall design of your home. Some roofing materials may have a specific design or color that can add uniqueness or classic elements to the exterior of your home.
Finally, it is worth paying attention to the cost and lifespan of the roof. Some materials may be more expensive, but they can have a longer lifespan. You need to consider your financial capabilities and durability requirements to determine which material is best suited for your home.
In conclusion, it is important to do your homework and research to understand what materials and options are available for the roof of your home. This will help you make a better choice and ensure the longevity and protection of your home for years to come.

It has been just over two weeks since it became known that the self-proclaimed ‘pro-crypto’ candidate, Donald Trump, will be the next president of the US. The news was received with open arms by crypto investors as prices of all major assets skyrocketed to local or all-time peaks.
Expectedly, bitcoin was and still is at the forefront of gains. The asset stood below $70,000 before the elections, amid reports that this could be the last time it trades at that level, but went on a rampant run in the following weeks. Earlier today, the cryptocurrency tapped $99,500, which meant that its gains since Trump’s elections neared 50%.
Thank You, Bears
The most mentioned reasons behind this spectacular rally involve the US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs. After all, the funds, which were launched in January this year, attracted nearly $5 billion in the first week after the elections. There was a brief hiatus on November 14 and 15, but investors went on an accumulation spree in the past four trading days again.
This time, roughly $2 billion in net flows entered the ETFs, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the pack. The world’s biggest BTC ETF now has nearly $31 billion in AUM.
While this seems like a prominent reason behind BTC’s price surge to just shy of $100,000, Santiment outlined another possibility. The analytics platform has frequently posted about counter-trades, in which prices tend to go in the opposite direction of the prevailing crowd sentiment. In this case, data shows that nay-sayers and non-believers dominate most social media channels to which Santiment said:
“Crypto markets move in the opposite direction of the majority’s expectations, so thank you fellow bears and non-believers for keeping up this historic run.”
With Bitcoin on the cusp of a six-figure market value for the first time in history (now reaching a new $99K ATH), social media speculation has become rampant. X, Reddit, Telegram, 4Chan, and BitcoinTalk are collectively mentioning $100K BTC price levels at the highest rate in… pic.twitter.com/yotDrwsxmk
— Santiment (@santimentfeed) November 21, 2024
This coveted milestone, which was the reason behind the 2021 laser-eye movement, came so close, yet it is so far. BTC was 0.5% away from tapping that level but has retraced by about a grand since then. This raises the question of when or if the last push will come.
Recent reports suggested that the FOMO levels are still quite low, which is typically an indicator of more potential gains. However, the Fear and Greed index has gone massively in favor of the latter since then, which usually signals an impending correction.
For now, the wait continues.

DORTMUND, Germany — Borussia Dortmund’s sponsorship deal with an arms maker profiting from wars in Ukraine and elsewhere looks set to be a major topic for discussion at the club’s AGM on Sunday.
The Schwatzgelb Dortmund fanzine has published a motion from fan Wilfried Harthan on behalf of the Heinrich Czerkus supporters’ group calling on the club to terminate the deal with Rheinmetall “as soon as possible”, and that it should not be extended beyond the end of its term in 2026 “under any circumstances.”
Rheinmetall is the world’s largest maker of artillery ammunition and expects to make record group sales of around 10 billion euros ($10.6 billion) this year. Trade has been helped by conflicts in Ukraine and elsewhere.
Schwatzgelb says on its website that the three-year collaboration with Rheinmetall announced by the club last May was a huge surprise for most fans, coming three days before their team lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
The deal “has since shaped the club’s external image. For many Schwatzgelbe (Dortmund fans), it calls their identification as members of Borussia Dortmund into question,” Schwatzgelb said.
Many Dortmund fans already showed their opposition to the deal with protests around and during the team’s first Bundesliga game of the season in August.
Rheinmetall in February announced the construction of a new factory at its existing site in Unterluess in northern Germany, with annual production capacity for 200,000 artillery shells, 1,900 tons of explosives, and possibly rocket engines and warheads.
“Those who manufacture weapons of war do not profit from peace, but from war,” Schwatzgelb said.
Founded in 1889 as “Rheinische Metallwaaren- und Maschinenfabrik Actiengesellschaft,” the Düsseldorf-based company was one of Germany’s biggest armaments manufacturers during both World Wars. It made use of forced labor during World War II.

The Pittsburgh Pirates landed Rich Hill, signing him to a one-year $8 million deal. But what can we expect to see from the veteran southpaw?
The Pittsburgh Pirates recently signed Rich Hill to a one-year deal. Hill is coming off a solid season where he had a 4.27 ERA, 3.92 FIP, and 1.30 WHIP. Hill had a strong 7% walk rate and a respectable 1.09 HR/9 but a so-so 20.7% strikeout rate. Hill was about a league-average pitcher, so what can we expect from him going into 2023?
Hill’s expected FIP (xFIP) and skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) painted him in a similar light. The veteran southpaw registered a 4.13 xFIP and 4.12 SIERA. But on the positive side, he was in the 56th percentile of exit velocity and 79th percentile of hard-hit rate. Overall, that points to a slight improvement from 2022.
One thing worth mentioning is that Hill didn’t get off to a great start to the year. At the end of May, he had a poor 4.85 ERA, 4.63 FIP, and 1.28 WHIP. While he only had a 6.7% walk rate, his strikeout rate was below 18% at 17.5%, and he gave up home runs at a 1.38-per-9 pace. Even the underlying numbers didn’t like his work, as he had a 4.66 SIERA and 4.86 xFIP.
However, after the start of June, things started to click for the southpaw. Through his final 17 outings, Hill had a much improved 4.01 ERA, 3.59 FIP, and 1.31 WHIP. Hill’s walk rate only increased to a still healthy 7.2% rate, but his strikeout rate sat at 22.2%. His K:BB ratio rose to over three, compared to just 2.64 in April/May. Plus, his home run rate dipped to just .95-per-9. His underlying statistics reflected his performance with a 3.93 SIERA and 3.78 xFIP.
One knock I've seen on Hill is that he only averaged about 4.2 innings per start. But after the start of June, Hill averaged just over five innings per start. In those 17 starts, the left-hander racked up a total of 85.1 innings.
So what can Pittsburgh Pirates fans tune their expectations to? Hill, of course, won’t be an ace, but you could totally see a mid/high-3s ERA pitcher. Hill’s numbers through his final 17 outings are pretty reflective of the kind of pitcher he is. It’s also the first time since 2013 that Hill has posted an ERA above 4.00.
Now sure, some might chalk that up to his advancing age. However, his expected numbers have actually gotten better. In the three years prior to 2022, Hill had a 4.34 SIERA and 4.44 xFIP, compared to the 4.13/4.12 marks he had this past year. Despite the mediocre reception, he had a 3.41 ERA from 2019-2021. Hill’s numbers after the start of summer also paint there is more left in the tank than meets the eye.
You also have to take into account his environment. Hill pitched half his games in Fenway, a park that gave up more runs, hits, extra-base hits, and home runs on average than PNC Park. He’s also getting moved to a much easier division. Each of the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, and Baltimore Orioles had an OPS+ of 97 or greater, and the worst team in the American League East still won 78 games.
Boston's division rivals made up over a third of the innings he pitched. Only the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers had a team OPS+ greater than 100. Not to mention that the Brewers lost Hunter Renfroe, and the Cardinals lost Albert Pujols. Hill also has a solid track record of pitching in National League Central stadiums.
With that being said, I think it’s reasonable to expect Hill to work to an ERA in the 3.60-3.80 range. There are a handful of factors working in his favor next season. He’s in a more pitcher-friendly environment and is coming off a solid June-October. He could end up being a massive bargain for the Pirates.

I have been using the excellent template and scripts from this forum post, however, when the NetApp device is loaded with LUNs and volumes, the script will cause the Cacti to timeout, and during that time, consume CPU. The original cause of this problem was a workaround to some NetApp Perl API bug the original author found, which forced him to query the entire data set for each sub-query. This is nice for five, or even ten volumes, but when you’re around 400 volumes, things just look bad.
Due to that, I have taken upon myself to make this script more scalable, but forcing a single data query from the NetApp for each data type (volume, LUN, system, etc) and data query type (get, index, etc). A unique file was created with its name being the storage_device_name.data_type.query_type. Following queries to any subset of this data were just accessing this file, and not the remote NetApp device, killing network, CPU, and tending to time out on operation and leave huge blank parts in the graphs.
I will post my modified template in the forum as well, but I place it here, just so that it will be both available for me, and for any interested reader.

“You can’t judge a book by its cover,” said someone in the past. This may have been true once, but a substantial amount of time has passed, and quite frankly, the title printed on the cover says it all. There lies an inherent contempt towards anyone named ‘Aiden.’ The name ‘Aiden’ carries with it a curse; a lingering obsession to be as douchey as possible. The kind of people that skip into line ahead of you when you’re just two people away from the register; the type of person who lets their dog crap on your lawn and just leaves it there. The race known as human is a complex one, and while there are certainly a desirable bunch, like those who wave at you when you let them pass your car, or those who actually hold the door for you at the store, there are also just an equal amount of unpleasant folks. These kinds of people possess the names of ‘Karens,’ ‘Darrens,’ ‘Kyles’ and the aforementioned ‘Aidens.’ Like the previously mentioned, the Aiden populates the world with its unwanted and smelly presence. Their behavior ranges from loud screaming noises similar to the mating calls of adolescent dolphins high on puffer fish venom, the penchant for annoying people with passive-aggressive quips, and then pulling out and teleporting away before back-up arrives. ‘Aidens’ aren’t so much people as they are situations. They are always bad, and they’re just waiting to happen with little to no provocation. The best ways to properly deal with this international threat to humanity is to calmly walk up to them (be sure to avoid provoking them) and telling them to get a real-human occupation, but from what I hear, expert testimonies argue that using bear-shot loaded with deodorant works just fine.
*Note from the Content Manager: This is a comedy publication. If your name is Aiden please do not send me angry letters or you will just be proving that your existence as a human is, as Marcus states, smelly.

As you may have heard, I am planning on another half marathon! It’s early next year, and I’m a combination of terrified and excited. Best Damn Race Safety Harbor… here I come. Of course, with new goals comes new training. So let’s talk about the ingredients of my half marathon training plan!
Easy runs are kind of my favorites. I love the party pace, where I run and chat and take pictures of cool things. These easy runs are so great and necessary, but I confess to relying on them a bit too heavily sometimes.
As you all know, I want to be faster but I hate speed work. Which, of course, is quite the conundrum. Sadly for me, you can’t have one without the other, so I’m committing to one day of speed work a week. My hope is that I can make myself do it enough that it become habit and gets a little easier. Since I don’t have access to a track and the treadmill is a bit painful for me, I’m going to use a Week 1 Couch To 5K workout, where I sprint the run intervals and recover during the walk intervals. If that works well, I can make adjustments from there.
Now that my work busy season is over, I can go ahead and spend more time in the gym. I’ve been doing at least one day a week, which isn’t a lot, but it’s better than nothing. However, I do notice improvement when my upper body and core is stronger, so this is definitely going to be an ingredient in my training plan. I hate making excuses, but there has been too much coordinating of schedules to make it happen. Although it means getting up at 4:30 to make it work, I have established a decent plan and will go from there.
Rest + Sleep
The good news is it’s the holiday season and streaming stations are in the process of launching over 100 new holiday movies. I have a new cozy blanket and an urge to be festive. I see lots of putting my feet up and enjoying in my future. The bad news is I really don’t care for down days from workouts, so active recovery will remain a part of my MO.
Somehow, I will find a way to build more protein into my diet. I’m really off cooking chicken right now, and we don’t eat much red meat in the house. Sigh. It’s good for me, for sure, but sometimes we don’t eat the fuels that are best for us. Quite frankly, I’d rather just hang out with a cheese board on the regular, but that’s probably not conducive to the best training cycle, so I will make the effort to lock in on the food. It’s only in my best interest.
What would you add to this half marathon training recipe?

Finance and Treasury Board Minister Diana Whalen presented Nova Scotia’s 2015-2016 budget on April 9, 2015. This year’s budget focuses on fiscal sustainability, economic growth and education, as well as addressing and adapting to the province’s demographic challenges.
From a commodity tax perspective, only one significant change was announced.
Tobacco Tax Increase
The budget announced an increase to tobacco taxes of two cents per unit, effective April 10, 2015. This raises the tax on cigarettes and pre-proportioned tobacco sticks to 25.52 cents per unit and the tax on fine cut tobacco to 24 cents per gram. This increase also aligns with the province’s expectation of lower tobacco consumption.
In the fall of 2014, Nova Scotia’s Tax and Regulatory Review Report highlighted that the point-of-sale rebates currently in place for the provincial component of the HST on children’s clothing, children’s diapers, children’s footwear, feminine hygiene products and printed books should be eliminated. However, while the budget promises to take a careful, long-term approach in reviewing the report’s recommendations, the province confirmed that it will maintain the current HST rebates for all of these commodities.
Additional information on the Nova Scotia 2015 budget is available on the province’s web site at:

NATO will begin its annual nuclear preparedness exercise “Steadfast Noon” today.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte emphasized the importance of preparedness in an increasingly unstable global landscape.
“In an uncertain world, it is vital that we test our defenses and strengthen our capabilities so that our adversaries know that NATO is ready and able to respond to any threat,” Rutte said in London after meetings with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The exercise will take place against a backdrop of heightened nuclear rhetoric from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has issued multiple warnings since his country launched a war against Ukraine in 2022, Anadolu reports.
Scheduled to begin on Monday, the exercise will involve about 60 aircraft, including F-35A fighter jets and B-52 bombers, from 13 NATO countries.
About 2,000 military personnel will take part in simulated missions involving US nuclear warheads, although no live weapons will be used, NATO officials confirmed.
The two-week exercises will be held in the North Sea area, hosted by Belgium and the Netherlands.

The latest reports published by independent journalist Patrick Lancaster highlight the tragic position hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian citizens are in as they fear telling the truth about the bloody conflict taking place in their nation.
Lancaster, an American military veteran-turned war journalist, captured footage showing several citizens who are victims of Ukrainian shelling, yet fear telling the camera the bombs are being lobbed by the Ukrainian military.
As Infowars has documented since the war started in late February, Ukrainian citizens in the Donbas region have been victims of genocide by Ukrainian forces.
Despite this fact, any Ukrainian citizen who criticizes Zelensky’s regime or the nation’s military efforts faces being arrested and thrown in jail for life under the president’s Martial Law decree.
In a report published Monday, Lancaster filmed a home in the Kherson region of Ukraine that was hit by a Ukrainian missile.
Several locals confirmed the shells came from Ukraine-controlled territory, and one woman was actually afraid to acknowledge it was Zelensky’s army bombing her village.

Health moves to further improve and strengthen health facilities and capacities in Western Border ahead of border reopening
With ongoing efforts to gear up for full reopening of the borders come end of July 2022 and ongoing efforts to strengthen health system, a team from the National Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) which includes an infrastructure manager, a biomedical officer and two environmental health officers, etc. are currently in the Western border.
The mission is to support targeted health facilities with COVID-19 preparedness, response, and business continuity planning, strengthen collaboration between health and provincial government in priority development areas, complete site assessment and community engagement and awareness of proposed developments.
Over the weekend, an assessment of staff housing and health quarantine station at Kulitanai in the Shortland was completed as well as an assessment of Nila Area Health Centre level 1 isolation wards and quarantine station.
The assessments and discussion with key partners on the ground including communities is crucial to further inform health as to how it will proceed with its intentions to further strengthen capacity and capabilities of health facilities and workers in Shortland to respond with possible 3rd wave of COVID-19 as borders will reopen next month but also in preparation for any future outbreaks of infectious diseases.
Today the team was in Taro, Choiseul province where they met with the provincial health team and Choiseul Provincial Government to strengthen collaboration with provincial governments on priority proposed developments including re-development and improvement plans for Taro hospital.
Tomorrow onwards the team will be conducting an assessment to develop an enhanced service package for the Sasamunga Area Health Centre including relocation of some clinical services once the redevelopment of Taro hospital is underway.
Last leg of their tour in will be at Wagina, Choiseul province to assess the new site for the Wagina Area Health Centre with community consultation with the Gilbertese community there.
Outcome of these assessments, consultations and awareness carried out by the team will see in the not too distant future, improved health infrastructure and facilities, equipped with necessary medical drugs and consumables including an enhanced capacity and capabilities of health workers to respond to outbreaks and deliver normal health services.
The deployment was made possible through World Bank funding support to health to respond to COVID-19 and strengthen health systems.

"it's (not) your fault": The influence of blame mitigation versus guilt induction on true and false confessions
False confessions remain an important problem facing the criminal justice system. Practitioners assert that blame mitigation techniques can minimize suspects’ perceptions of responsibility independently from legal consequences. However, blame mitigation techniques increase false confessions in part by minimizing suspects’ expectations of punishment. Blame mitigation techniques are also designed to reduce suspects’ feelings of guilt, which may inhibit confessions from guilty suspects given that true confessions are related to feelings of guilt and remorse. Thus, it may be more beneficial to induce guilt rather than mitigate blame in the interrogation room. This dissertation (1) tested practitioners’ assumption that blame mitigation can influence a suspect’s perceptions of his or her responsibility without also affecting expectations of punishment, and (2) assessed whether a guilt induction interrogation technique is a viable alternative to blame mitigation. Participants watched a videotaped interrogation (Experiment 1) or experienced an interrogation about cheating (Experiment 2) that included direct questioning, blame mitigation, or guilt induction techniques. Blame mitigation lowered participants’ expectations of punishment, but did not affect participants’ perceptions of their responsibility (Experiment 2). Across both experiments, guilt induction failed to induce feelings of guilt, potentially because participants may not have had a strong enough relationship with the interrogator and with the victim. Additionally, no interrogation technique differentially affected confessions, perhaps because the direct questioning and guilt induction techniques were too accusatorial in nature. Future research should seek to refine the guilt induction technique and explore whether guilt induction is a better alternative to blame mitigation.

The mission of the UCLA Armenian Music Program is simple, “to preserve and celebrate Armenian music as an art form.” True to this mission, the Program proudly celebrates the official release of “Modulation Necklace,” a new CD of Armenian Music, by the Naxos-distributed label, New Focus Recordings.
Following its lauded recent performances in Yerevan, Armenia the VEM Ensemble—which is a key component of the Program—participated in many of the performances on this recording. Celebrating the aesthetic diversity of the post-Soviet era Armenian music, the CD highlights a selection of works from distinguished contemporary Armenian composers Artur Avanesov, Ashot Zohrabyan, Michel Petrossian, and Artashes and Ashot Kartalyan. Along with the VEM Ensemble, “Modulation Necklace” also features internationally renowned musicians Scott St. John, Antonio Lysy, Varty Manouelian, Movses Pogossian, Katisse Buckingham, Dustin Donahue, as well as UCLA alumni Charles Tyler and Niall Ferguson.
Dan Lippel, President of New Focus Recordings, praised the album. “Violinist Movses Pogossian has assembled this illuminating collection of contemporary music from Armenia…revealing a vibrant repertoire whose aesthetics are as outward-looking as they are grounded in their reverence of centuries-old culture.”
A testament to the artistry and the grace of this collection is Artashes Kartalyan’s “Tekeyan Triptych” for mezzo-soprano and string quartet, composed for Vahan Tekeyan’s poems of love and loss, commissioned by the Tekeyan Cultural Association. As stated by Raymond Tuttle of Fanfare Magazine, “Artashes Kartalyan’s sensitive, emotional, and always lyrical writing for the voice amplifies their emotions. Mezzo-soprano Danielle Segen sings them gorgeously.”
Highlighting some of the most relevant contemporary Armenian composers, “Modulation Necklace” is a true celebration of Armenian music as an art form and a testament to the rich history and heritage which it tributes. A significant achievement for the VEM Ensemble and the UCLA Armenian Music Program, the creation of this CD is the latest in a series of projects that celebrate and present the beauty of Armenian Music.
During their upcoming East Coast Concert Tour (April 27-May 4), members of the VEM Ensemble will take Armenian music to audiences in New York, Washington D.C., and Boston. Danielle Segen’s tour of Armenia with Artur Avanaesov and Movses Pogossian, in cooperation with the American University of Armenia (March 19 – 25), will bring Armenian music gems to remote regions of the country. On April 22nd, the VEM Ensemble will perform its annual Armenian Genocide Commemoration Concert at the Billy Wilder Theater of the Hammer Museum. Finally, in a new groundbreaking initiative titled “Day of Armenian Music at UCLA” on May 8th—in collaboration and with the support of the Armenian Community of LA—high school students from the greater Los Angeles area will be hosted for a day-long celebration of the richness and diversity of Armenian Music. The focal point of the day will be a concert at Schoenberg Hall, which will feature a variety of genres: Classical (VEM Ensemble), Folk (newly founded UCLA Armenian Music Ensemble), Jazz (Vartan Ovsepian with friends), and Choral (Children’s Choir from the Lark Musical Society, the Program’s Community Music Partner). The day will also include a campus tour of UCLA and lectures by Karenn Chutjian Presti (history of Armenian music) and Armine Grigoryan, a renowned Armenian pianist and the Director of the Aram Khachaturian Museum in Yerevan.

I have composed music intermittently since I was a teenager. The first instrument I learned (barely) was piano, and then I fell in love with the drums. As a late teen in music college, I persevered at making sounds on a guitar since it’s hard to get people to sit and listen to a song that you wrote on the drums.
This particular creation started in late 2019 as a chord progression on guitar. The demo was charming, but soon other instruments suggested themselves into the arrangement. Words came, too. It’s the most adventurous recording I’ve made at home so far, with a nuanced mix of more than 70 different audio tracks.
I was almost done with the song in the Spring of 2020, but then the pandemic, George Floyd was murdered, and the US election chaos dominated the emotional environment. I couldn’t see how I could finish and share the song until the world was in a better place. Finally, in May 2021, I sat down one Saturday afternoon and knocked out the final vocals and solos.
You can listen on Bandcamp and even download the song for free, or see the video on YouTube.

Doctor From Dover, NH Hospital Embracing News of Booster Shots
The chair of the Infection Prevention Committee on Wentworth-Douglass Hospital’s Medical Staff is embracing current recommendations that people get a booster shot for their COVID-19 vaccinations.
Dr. Artemio John Mendoza is also an infectious disease physician at Wentworth Health Partners Summit Infectious Disease located on Central Avenue in Dover.
Mendoza said the COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing thing.
"We know that at some point there's going to be waning immunity and the fact that we haven't controlled it yet, despite our vigorous measures with vaccination and with all of the mitigation factors, it's something that needs to be addressed. So the bottom line here is that, yes, I actually embrace it. I was very glad to hear that that recommendation would be expanded further to include everybody," Mendoza said.
Health officials announced last week that all people who were vaccinated should receive a booster shot eight months after their second dose of an mRNA vaccine.
On Monday, officials at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first COVID-19 vaccine.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine will now be marketed as Comirnaty, for the prevention of COVID-19 disease in individuals 16 years of age and older.
The vaccine also continues to be available under emergency use authorization, including for individuals 12 through 15 years of age, and for the administration of the third dose in certain immunocompromised individuals.
Employees at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover will be required to get vaccinated.
Wentworth-Douglass Hospital is part of Massachusetts General Hospital and last month Mass General Brigham announced that it is requiring its 80,000 employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The New Hampshire Hospital Association is supporting hospitals and other healthcare facilities that mandate COVID-19 vaccination for their employees.
Portsmouth Regional Hospital and Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester will not be requiring employees to get vaccinated for COVID-19 as a condition of employment.
Lynn Robbins is the director of marketing and communications at Portsmouth Regional Hospital. She said on Aug. 12 that employees at HCA Healthcare in New Hampshire are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated.
"While colleagues at Frisbie Memorial Hospital, Parkland Medical Center and Portsmouth Regional Hospital are not required to be vaccinated for COVID-19 at this time, our infectious disease experts as well as those at the CDC are strongly encouraging vaccination as a critical step to protect individuals from the virus. Our hospitals follow guidance outlined by the CDC regarding protocols for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in our facilities, including universal masking for all colleagues, patients and visitors," Robbins said.
Robbins said on Thursday that they advocate for everyone to get vaccines and boosters as they are available, and to follow the CDC guidelines.
During his COVID-19 press briefing on Aug. 12, Gov. Chris Sununu encouraged employers to speak with employees before mandating vaccination.
"The most important thing is to talk to the employees. Don't just make a decision in a vacuum," Sununu said when asked.
Sununu acknowledged that the decision to get vaccinated is a personal one.

Generally speaking, most lenders will want proof that the deposit you have was built up through your own efforts. Evidence of long-term, diligent savings shows them that you are a non-risky borrower. This is termed ‘genuine savings’ and is a valuable asset to have when applying for a home loan.
If your deposit was obtained through other means, you may have difficulty in the application process. That is unless you opt for non genuine saving loans instead. Selectabroker can connect you to a local mortgage specialist knowledgeable about these alternative credit options so you can gain the capital you desire.
While you can borrow a significant amount in this way (sometimes up to 95% of the total property value), there are some aspects to consider. First, the interest may be higher for non genuine saving finance so you will have to accommodate this to make sure you can afford all future repayments.
Second, you will have to show stronger proof of your financial stability in other areas, such as employment and income. With some help from our brokers though, you should have no trouble with the application process, securing the finances you need to then finalise that real estate purchase.

Salon – Zur wilden Renate – one of Berlin’s best-known clubs – has come under fire for failing to take action against resident DJ duo Peak & Swift for ongoing racist behavior. The club’s owners have issued a statement of apology and promised to implement a series of measures preventing such incidents from happening in the future.
Peak & Swift (real names Jan Kähler and Benedict Bogenberger) have been accused of racial harassment by Renate’s former PR manager, Karim Molyneux-Berry. In text message and WhatsApp transcripts shown to Resident Advisor and Mixmag, Kähler and Bogenberger admitted to two of the instances and apologized. Prior to Molyneux-Berry speaking out, they had parted ways with the club.
In a June 2019 email to Renate’s general manager, Tony Ettelt, and HR coordinator, Linda Osman, Molyneux-Berry, who is half English and half Egyptian, recounted how Kähler and Bogenberger told him he was from Africa even though he was born and raised in London. “It then became more,” he wrote. “I asked for it to stop a few times. Then it got more. I [was] called N***** a few times. I was even told ‘I’m your master and you’re my n*****. I was asked to call him my master. I did. I’m not sure if at this point I realized how bad it is what was happening. It got to the point where he called me that in front of people.”
Molyneux-Berry also said that he came back to work after New Year’s Eve to find the N word written on his desk calendar. He shared a snap of the calendar with coworkers in a WhatsApp conversation, and Bogenberger responded, “Welcome back [partying smiley face emoji],” then: “And sorry [cringing face emoji], this is not funny at all.”
“I really love Renate. I love the people from the bouncers to bar staff, and I also love how open and ready to grow you are as the owners,” wrote Molyneux-Berry in his email to Ettelt and Osman. “Every time I came to you with reasonable observations you agreed as management.”
“As it stands these are the main reasons why I am still in the company, however it can not continue like this,” he went on. “I feel that the racism is not on the surface, as I know they like me, but a deep rooted prejudice. I honestly do not think it will stop, if as it stands they haven’t stopped after over a year of me telling them both to stop. It seems that when things get back to normal and we are working well, it’s taken as a green light to resume a sense of humour that is lacking in any sense of the sensitivity that should be basic to two young international people living in Berlin in 2019.”
After he reached out to Ettelt and Osman, Molyneux-Berry said that the three of them scheduled a meeting. He recalled asking them in person to require all club employees to take sensitivity training – which they didn’t until 2020.
Molyneux-Berry said his contract with the club was terminated in November 2019 for dubious reasons. Management allegedly told him they didn’t like his PR style or the fact that he couldn’t speak German, which was the first he’d heard of either issue since taking the role in April 2017.
On October 11th, Salon – Zur wilden Renate’s management addressed the dispute in a statement. “We are deeply sorry for what happened and for the hurt that was caused,” reads a passage. “We have been taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen again within our team, club or event space moving forward.”
The statement touched on anti-racism training and anti-discrimination policies introduced by Renate in the wake of 2020’s worldwide Black Lives Matter protests. Additionally, the club’s management promised similar training for security staff courtesy of the Berlin Club Commission. “More plans are also in discussion but cannot be implemented immediately due to the ongoing pandemic and its effects on our daily business,” they wrote. “We are committed to this work.”
Salon – Zur wilden Renate declined an interview request from Resident Advisor.

CoConstruct, the Virginia-based SaaS provider of project, financial, and client management software for independent home builders and remodelers, announced that it has acquired CBUSA, the US’s largest group purchase organization that allows custom and semi-custom builders to combine their buying power to more effectively compete with national builders. The acquisition complements CoConstruct’s existing construction software, which its customers use to manage the financials of building projects, by integrating group purchasing programs that improve the underlying economics of residential construction.
CoConstruct, the #1-rated construction software for independent home builders and remodelers for ten years running, is used by more than 5,000 residential construction companies managing over $23 billion in projects in the past year alone. Handling everything from communication tracking, field scheduling, and payment processing, CoConstruct plans to use this acquisition to further the company’s “Build Together” mantra by expanding its community-building efforts beyond best practice sharing to lowering hard costs on projects.
CBUSA, founded in 2004 by Bill Smithers, operates a group buying network of 500 custom and independent home builders in 29 geographic markets, whose combined new home starts rank it as the seventh-largest home builder in the United States. Bill, and the entire CBUSA team, will continue with CoConstruct to expand their work in the combined company.
“CoConstruct is a business improvement company — not just a software company — for builders and remodelers,” said Donny Wyatt, Founder and CEO of CoConstruct. “Bill and the CBUSA team have that same ‘business improvement’ mindset. We’re excited to combine the two companies’ approaches into one integrated solution that makes it simple for customers to take advantage of the hard dollar cost-savings from CBUSA’s power buying model by integrating them into the efficiency-boosting, all-in-one financial workflow that CoConstruct has today.”
“This is the next phase in supercharging our company and will help our team to fully realize CBUSA’s vision,” said Bill Smithers, Founder and CEO of CBUSA. Bill will become a CoConstruct shareholder as part of the transaction. “The more volume we have in the market, the greater our buying power, which is at the core of our “strength in numbers” approach. By combining our expertise in purchasing with CoConstruct’s technology platform and large customer base, we are able to bring more value to our network and unrivaled opportunities for operational improvement.”
While work will begin immediately on integrations to bring enhanced value to CoConstruct users, existing CBUSA customers who are not currently using the CoConstruct platform will continue to participate and benefit from the CBUSA network, as they have in the past. The combined teams will also be working with CBUSA’s national manufacturer partners to help them best capitalize on the greatly expanded post-acquisition reach of the group purchase network.
CoConstruct is the highest rated construction software for home builders and remodelers as ranked by Gartner’s SoftwareAdvice.com and has been named to the Inc. 5000 list for the last seven years. The company’s cloud-based project management tools help independent builders and remodelers coordinate their projects, communicate better with clients & crews, and control the financials of their jobs. Users can manage their projects from their tablet or desktop, or in the field with a mobile app. CoConstruct is backed by San Francisco- and Austin-based private equity firm Serent Capital in 2018. For more information on CoConstruct, visit www.coconstruct.com.
CBUSA is a powerful homebuilding network devoted to the success of independent home builders by reducing costs, increasing service levels, and creating a community of shared knowledge. The company is currently established in 29 cities nationwide, with a distributed team of 16 employees focused on serving and expanding their markets. www.cbusa.us

Youth sports function a vital avenue for personal development, offering young athletes opportunities to enhance their physical skills, build character, and foster teamwork. However, the trajectory from youth participation to elite performance is nuanced, requiring more than just raw talent and hard work. Efficient performance coaching is critical in guiding younger athletes by means of this journey, maximizing their potential and making certain long-term success.
Understanding the Role of a Performance Coach
A performance coach in youth sports is more than just a trainer; they’re mentors, educators, and motivators. They have to understand the physical, psychological, and emotional wants of young athletes. Unlike coaching at professional levels, where the primary focus is likely to be on performance outcomes, youth coaching should balance skill development with personal growth and enjoyment of the sport.
Performance coaches should be adept at designing training programs that cater to the varying development levels of younger athletes. This includes understanding progress spurts, the importance of relaxation, and age-appropriate training intensities. Coaches should foster an environment that promotes safe physical development while avoiding overtraining and burnout.
Building a Foundation of Skills
At the heart of efficient performance coaching is the ability to build a stable foundation of fundamental skills. For younger athletes, mastering basic methods is essential earlier than progressing to more advanced maneuvers. Coaches should emphasize the significance of proper form, coordination, and balance. Drills needs to be designed to enhance these fundamental skills, guaranteeing that young athletes develop a robust technical base.
Moreover, coaches must be patient and provide positive reinforcement. Celebrating small achievements builds confidence and encourages a growth mindset. This approach not only aids in skill acquisition but additionally instills a love for the sport, which is essential for long-term commitment and enjoyment.
Promoting Psychological and Emotional Development
Youth athletes are at a formative stage of their lives, and their psychological and emotional development is as critical as their physical training. Effective performance coaching entails recognizing the individual needs of each athlete. Coaches ought to provide a supportive and encouraging environment where athletes really feel valued and understood.
Goal setting is an essential tool in this regard. Coaches ought to work with athletes to set realistic and achievable goals, which may help in sustaining motivation and providing a way of direction. These goals must be revisited frequently, allowing for adjustments based on the athlete’s progress and altering circumstances.
Communication is another critical aspect. Coaches should foster open lines of communication, encouraging athletes to specific their ideas, issues, and aspirations. This not only helps in addressing any points early but additionally builds trust and respect between the coach and the athlete.
Incorporating Sports Science and Technology
The modern landscape of youth sports is increasingly influenced by advancements in sports science and technology. Efficient performance coaching involves integrating these tools to enhance training and performance. Using video analysis, as an illustration, may also help athletes visualize their strategies and determine areas for improvement. Wearable technology can monitor physical metrics, providing data that may inform training adjustments and prevent injuries.
Additionalmore, understanding nutrition and recovery is vital. Coaches ought to educate young athletes in regards to the significance of a balanced eating regimen and adequate rest, tailoring these elements to individual needs. Recovery protocols, together with stretching, hydration, and mental rest strategies, should be integral parts of the training regimen.
Fostering a Positive Team Culture
Team dynamics play a significant position within the development of younger athletes. A positive team tradition fosters camaraderie, mutual respect, and a way of belonging. Coaches should emphasize teamwork, sportsmanship, and collective goals. Activities that build team cohesion, reminiscent of group drills and team-building exercises, are valuable.
Inclusivity and diversity should also be championed. Each athlete, regardless of their background or skill level, should really feel included and supported. This creates a healthy competitive environment the place athletes can thrive collectively and individually.
Maximizing youth athlete development by way of efficient performance coaching is a multifaceted endeavor. It requires a delicate balance of skill development, psychological assist, scientific integration, and team tradition cultivation. Coaches play a pivotal position in shaping not just the athlete’s abilities but additionally their character and love for the sport. By adopting a holistic and adaptive approach, performance coaches can guide younger athletes towards their full potential, laying the groundwork for future success both on and off the field.

By China Miéville
There has been a brutal murder, and it is up to the suitably jaded but dogged Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad to investigate. But this case is different than most in the city of Besźel, as the crime was possibly somewhere else both close by and impossibly far away - Ul Qoma.
Besźel and Ul Qoma are two cities that occupy the same geographical location, literally intermingled in all senses except by the behaviour of their citizens. Some blocks and streets are totally in Besźel, some totally in Ul Quma, but many are "crosshatched" - belonging to both cities although under different names.
The inhabitants of each city are conditioned from birth to never interact with anything in the other city, carefully averting their gaze and ignoring ("unseeing") as much as possible the sights and sounds coming from the foreigners around them. Driving on crosshatched roads is a pretty hairy experience. Strict rules penalise anyone breaching the imaginary boundary between the two locations. In fact the crime of "breaching" is much worse than the murder Borlú is trying to solve - transgressors are quickly dragged off by mysterious figures, never to be seen again.
Solving this crime will take Borlú into the seedy underbelly of Besźel, where gangs nationalists opposed to even the slight contact between the cities struggle violently with unificationists who want to end the separation. But could the answer lie in Ul Qoma, a city with an underbelly of its own?
China Miéville showed a Dickens-esque ear for language in his excellent fantasy novels, and here he puts it to great use writing what is a great whodunit police procedural set in a slightly strange place. The City and The City is a genre piece, but the genre is gritty crime novel rather than fantasy and the book follows all the usual rules and doesn't cheat by introducing new rules at the last minute although, of course, misleading clues abound. There is very few good whodunit/fantasy crossovers and this is by far the best I have come across.
Reading around the Internet, I see that people have taken the split (or joined, depending on how you look at it) city as a metaphor for all sorts of things. Does unseeing represent class distinctions, racial separation, a method or Orwellian control, or something totally different? Miéville isn't going to provide the answers in the book - the best allegories are those where no one has any idea what you are getting at, or even if you are getting at anything at all.

Walter Massa, in the Colli Tortonesi, or Tortona Hills, of southeast Piemonte is the universally-acknowledged Maestro of Timorasso – the man who rescued the variety from extinction in the 1970s and then, through relentless experimentation and effort in the vineyard and in the cellar, brought it to prominence as one of the great white wines of Italy. “Derthona” is the old Roman name for the city of Tortona; Massa and some other producers use it as a designation for their 100% timorasso wines. Piccolo Derthona is Walter Massa’s entry-level timorasso (cf. Petit Chablis), from his younger vines, picked earlier, and without skin contact. 12.5% alcohol. Like all of his timorassos, this one is a distinctive and delectable study in contrasts: richer fruits with great minerality and cleansing acidity. Drink it with seafood (including squid ink pasta), spicy dishes, and richer dishes like risotto.

Rishi Sunak’s Friday early morning was probably ruined by the furious resignation letter he gained from Zac Goldsmith, in which the Tory peer accused the primary minister of remaining apathetic about the ecosystem and a failure on weather plan. But was Goldsmith ideal?
It seems so. Whilst it would be hard to accuse Sunak of getting a local climate denier, the proof implies he does not care about the issue, which has resulted in a lack of weather action and dangers the United kingdom aiding push the world towards an uninhabitable condition.
Even though the prime minister is often keen to regale audiences with how his youthful daughters are champions for the environment, he is surely not a person. When he was chancellor, ministers in the Office for Atmosphere, Meals and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the International Business office usually described him as a “block” on funding for local climate and character, and reported that at the cupboard desk he argued for trade bargains with nations that had decrease environmental criteria, alternatively than employing Britain’s ability on the entire world stage to thrust for alter.
Critics are keen to issue out Sunak refused to signal a foreword to the Dasgupta report, a review of the value of biodiversity. This evaluation, by the highly regarded professor Sir Partha Dasgupta, was welcomed across the board, even by the previous chancellor Sajid Javid, in spite of Sunak showing up unimpressed by its results.
Even now, folks can discover, and in his part as primary minister Sunak has experienced access to all the best professionals and evidence out there on climate. He was specified a significant option to stand on the world stage as the UK’s new primary minister at the UN’s Cop27 climate summit very last yr, but he flip-flopped on attending, and only flew out to Egypt at the final minute, offering the audience a policy-totally free speech about how his kids treatment about the natural environment.
Because then, matters have long gone downhill. His governing administration failed to include environmental protections in the retained EU legislation invoice, which will scrap lots of EU polices that guard the ecosystem in the United kingdom. Sunak’s authorities has also fully commited to extracting a lot more polluting fossil fuels, from the Cumbria coalmine to the Rosebank oilfield.
And underneath his management, the strength office has invested much much more time attacking the Labour bash for having donations from a funder of the protest group Just Halt Oil than it has championing the internet zero by 2050 concentrate on enshrined in law by Sunak’s predecessors.
Just look at this week’s Climate adjust committee report. The British isles was not fantastic on local weather plan below Boris Johnson, but the committee, chaired by a Conservative MP, located the state had regressed even further above the earlier 12 months.
It reported the nation had unsuccessful on insulation, with fewer households guarded below government-backed techniques than final 12 months that there experienced been minor progress on transport emissions there was no programme for behaviour alter and wind and photo voltaic farms had been becoming put in at a snail’s pace. The committee particularly blamed a failure of political leadership for the stalled development.
Lord Deben, the outgoing chair of the committee, stated its assurance that the govt would meet up with its shorter-time period carbon-slicing objectives by 2030 was even reduce than final yr, inspite of the publication of a new eco-friendly strategy by ministers. “We’ve slipped powering, and other people have moved ahead,” he stated. “This is not a report that indicates satisfactory progress.”

44.6 Wednesday, Jan. 5 Three-dimensional trajectories affect gap bridging in brown tree snakes (Boiga irregularis) BYRNES, G.*; JAYNE, B. C.; University of Cincinnati; University of Cincinnati email@example.com
Arboreal environments have complex networks of branches separated by large open spaces and the ability to cross these gaps can greatly shorten the route of an animal through the environment. Many snakes are arboreal and their elongate bodies are well suited to crossing gaps. However, extending a large unsupported portion of the body over a gap could result in either toppling off the branch or buckling of the body, therefore crossing large gaps can be a highly demanding task. We investigated the ability of a highly arboreal snake, the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis), to cross gaps in which the location of the destination perch varied both in the vertical and horizontal planes. Snakes were able to cross larger gaps as the vertical component of the gap distance increased and as a result, crossed the smallest gaps within the horizontal plane. These results suggests that producing sufficient muscular force to prevent buckling may limit gap distance because when crossing gaps in the horizontal plane, gravity acts at a greater horizontal distance from the point of support for a given gap distance. In addition, when the destination perch was oriented at an angle to the long axis of the initial perch, gap distances decreased as a result of the inability of snakes to maintain balance due to the large pitching moment, especially while crossing horizontal or uphill gaps. In most cases, the snakes extended and crawled across a gap at near constant speed, however in some cases snakes used rapid dynamic movements to extend their gap crossing range. Perhaps these dynamic movements are a common and shared character of many arboreal snakes that could have lead to more sophisticated aerial behavior in snakes.

Planning a Summer Soiree in Ireland – Here are some of our top tips for planning a summer event or wedding.
Summer has officially begun – With brighter evenings, blue skies, and the smell of freshly cut grass in the air, we are ready for barbeques and outdoor parties to begin. If you are planning a celebration this Summer, we recommend reading our top tips to create a fabulous soiree that guests shall remember for years to come.
1.Choose the right location
The location is one of the most important aspects of any event. Consider a venue that offers both indoor and outdoor spaces to accommodate any changes in weather. Look for a venue with air conditioning to keep your guests comfortable in the heat. If your ceremony or reception is outdoors, provide shade for your guests with stylish cover such as Signature Rentals French fringed parasol, or a covered pavilion. Should you wish to explore the option of erecting a marquee for your event, we recommend consulting a planner, such as Maria Reidy Events, with a wealth of professional experience in managing marquee builds and events.
2. Set a budget
Before you start planning your event, set a budget. This will help you to determine what you can afford and what you need to cut back on. Be realistic with your budget and remember that many initial supplier quotes are exclusive of VAT, so we advise you to be mindful of that when planning your event / wedding.
3. Decide on a theme
A theme can help tie your event together and make it more memorable for your guests. Choose a theme appropriate for the occasion and venue that will appeal to your guests. Signature Rentals has a range of beautiful rattan furniture perfect for outdoor celebrations. Embrace the season by incorporating seasonal flowers and decor into your wedding theme. Think of bright, vibrant colors and fresh floral arrangements. Add some stylish shelter from the sun to your outdoor celebration with French fringed parasols. When choosing your tablescape, you can add pops of colour by incorporating in colorful glassware, tealight holders, or bright taper candles.
4. Plan the menu
Food and drinks are an important part of any event. Decide on a menu that is appropriate for the occasion and that will appeal to your guests. For Summer months, think of lighter seasonal bites if the weather is hot. Provide plenty of cold drinks and water stations for your guests to stay hydrated. Signature Rentals portable white bar, and antler champagne buckets are ideal for hosting a party this Summer.
5. Organise entertainment
Whether it is music, games, or other activities, entertainment is an important part of any event. Choose entertainment that is appropriate for your guests and that fits in with your budget. When it comes to outdoor events, remember to be considerate of your neighbours regarding the noise levels. Your guests will enjoy soaking up the atmosphere as the band sings, or DJ plays your favourite music. Signature Rentals colourful cushions will add more vibrancy to your outdoor furnishings, and new rattan console table works perfectly as a drinks table or a mini bar display.
6. Send out invitations
Once you have all the details of your event planned, send out invitations to your guests. Make sure to include all the valuable information, such as the date, time, location, and dress code. The Summer months are always incredibly busy, so it is important to send out RSVPs in advance to ensure your guests will be able to attend.
No matter how well you plan your event, there are always potential issues that can arise. Be prepared for unexpected weather changes by having a backup plan in case of rain or extreme heat. Your venue coordinator, or event planner will be able to best advise on both a Plan A and a Plan B to suit your occasion. Having sunscreen or paper fans available to guests is a thoughtful gesture for a sunny day and can provide extra comfort for them to enjoy the celebrations. Summer is also the season for bugs, so a top tip is to have citronella candles lighting or bug spray on hand for your guests.

A slot is a narrow opening, especially one for receiving something such as a coin or letter. It can also refer to a position in a sequence or series: Her TV show is scheduled for the eight-o’clock slot on Thursdays. The word is also used as a verb, meaning to insert something into a slot: He slotted the CD into the player. A slot can also be a piece of equipment that allows a particular activity to take place: The train was able to pass through the slot between the railcars.
Since the 1980s, slots have become increasingly common in many countries. They allow for greater levels of flow management and have contributed to major savings in air traffic delays and fuel burn. Moreover, they can significantly reduce the time that is wasted waiting for a connecting flight to be cleared at the departure gate.
Most slot machines have a pay table that displays the amount of credits a player will receive if symbols line up on a winning combination. Some machines allow the player to choose which pay lines to activate, while others have fixed paylines. Choosing to play slots with more pay lines may increase the odds of winning, but it will also raise the total bet.
When playing slot games, it’s important to keep in mind that your bankroll should always stay high enough to allow you to continue to play without running out of funds. This is particularly important when playing high limit slots, as they can easily become expensive if you’re not careful. To avoid losing your money, always set a budget before you begin playing and never spend more than you can afford to lose.
There are a number of benefits to playing online slot games, including their ability to provide players with a more realistic experience of the casino environment. They can also be played from any computer or mobile device, making them convenient for anyone who enjoys gambling. These online games can be played for real cash or simply for fun, and are available from a variety of websites.
Whether you’re looking for a fast-paced action-packed video slot or a low-risk strategy game, Stake has it all. Their selection includes the popular Hellcatraz slot, which offers a mind-blowing maximum win potential and simple bonus features. They also have the new nautical horror-themed Beast Below, with an incredible max win potential and a unique style and vibe.

Julia Nyberg, who wrote under the pseudonym of Euphrosyne, earned the reputation of being the only truly talented female poet of the Swedish Romanticists.
Julia Nyberg was born in 1785 into the home of the factor of the Skultuna brass factory. When she lost both of her parents at the age of 13, the factory owner, Carl Jakob Adlerwald, became the guardian of her and her siblings. He ensured that she attended a girls’ school in Stockholm from 1800 to 1802. This school was run by a French couple called D’Ariès. At the school Julia Nyberg studied French, Swedish and music, in addition to the usual women’s handicrafts. After leaving school and until she married for the second time Julia Nyberg provided for herself partly by teaching and partly by working in the household at Skultuna. Her first marriage in 1809 to the silk merchant Johan Henrik Asping was not a happy one and was marked by her husband’s financial difficulties. They separated in 1818 and were officially divorced in 1820. In 1822 she remarried to Anders Wilhelm Nyberg, bookkeeper, and later factor, of Skultuna factory. He had an interest in literature and supported her throughout her career. Alma Nyberg didn’t have any children.
It was reading works by Romanticists – particularly the poems in Poetisk kalender, 1811-1821 – which came to have a definitive influence on Julia Nyberg’s own writing. “It was only through acquaintance with the so-called new school that I first came to understand myself”, she wrote in her retrospective on Lorenzo Hammarsköld on 2 April 1821. In 1816 she approached P.D.A. Atterbom and sent him some of her drafts. She signed the letter as Laura and requested that he reply to Mademoiselle Laura Euphrosine Ström. He published three of the poems accredited to Euphrosyne in Poetisk kalender for the year 1817 and this became the start of a new authorship and a long-lasting collaboration.
Julia Nyberg’s method of dissemination was through calendars, journals, newspapers, anthologies, songbooks, and even pamphlets. Her first collection, entitled Dikter, was published in 1822. It was followed by Nyare dikter, 1828, a two-volume set called Samlade dikter, 1831-1832, and Nya dikter, 1842. Julia Nyberg wrote mainly lyrical poetry but also shorter romances, and versified plays and versified tales. Her only published piece of prose is the story “Cunigunda” from Nyare Dikter. Her poetry conveys the Romanticists’ conceptualization of poetry and love as links to the divine, and of poetry as the interpreter of man’s longing to find his soul’s rightful home. When she chose narrative or historical themes she emphasised the determined and loving female. The play Vublina, 1823, was inspired by a female commander from then current Greek so-called freedom war. Her writing also comprised religious, idyllic and romantic horror themes, contemporary issues and satirical poems and parables.
Her contemporaries generally received her favourably, apart from strong critics of the Romantics and those conservative critics who opposed female authorship altogether. She was generally considered to be the most prominent female poet of the Romanticists, and by some even to be the most significant female poet in Sweden of all time. In 1829 Julia Nyberg was awarded the Swedish Academy’s gold medal in recognition of her talents. Male reviewers tended to promote the idyllic, simple and naïve aspects of her writings, along with the rich imagination and musicality she expressed. This contributed to her being dismissed as a hasty and unimportant copier of the Romanticists by Swedish literary historians of the early twentieth century. It was not until the emergence of feminist literary research that focus returned to Julia Nyberg. From the end of the nineteenth century one of her songs has remained a constant element in Swedish song culture – and in everyday speech, namely “Vårvindar friska” (originally “Den stackars Anna, eller Moll-toner från Norrland”).
Julia Nyberg died in Skultuna in 1854. There is a street named after her in that town: Julia Nybergs väg.

I also came to this forum intending to share what knowledge I had on magic. But the more I looked the more I saw other people already doing that. Sure some of it was different and I didn't agree with all of it but it was probably good enough to get people started. I didn't really see what I was adding to the discusson anymore. I didn't really see why I was bothering with my open source magic deveopment thread. So I deleted it.
The third reason I came was probably to pick fights with spiritualists and point out their hypocrisy although I didn't know it at the time. My hatred of what I had to go through with the paranormal is amplified in the spiritualists who enable that behaviour and are ultimately the reason it exists at all. I'm a fighter at my core, I don't really feel alive unless something is trying to kill me. I've learned that it's not a way of being most people can relate to. I don't think it's fair that spirits are capable of doing what they do and most if not all people down here aren't. I don't think it's fair that they have the capability to ruin peoples lives, mess with their emotions and mental states, outright kill them, and more without the slightest chance of retaliation in most cases. I don't think it's fair that spirits claim to have some sort of moral authority that other people, especially on this plane, don't. And that they justify their authority with nothing but power. I don't like that they have run an incredibly successful campaign of human domestication for who knows how long just because they want to feel special. If I'm honest, I want to murder all of them. Find everyone involved and cut them to pieces. Force them to incarnate in the world they helped create and see how superior they feel then. And at one time I tried to do just that and failed spectacularly. Really only alive now because of help from others. But that's just crazy talk from a random blind man with no power and no ability to do anything of any substance in the world.
So I'm at an impasse, wanting to talk about all this stuff but knowing it's both too crazy and too dark to do so. And also because, let's face it, this is an internet forum, what is discussion here really going to accomplish? I might as well spend my time doing what I was doing before joining skeptiko and training in the hopes that one day I might be able to attain the level of magic I want and train others. Hopefully bringing more freedom into the world for individuals. I don't even know if I really want to train other sometimes. I look around at all the religious people and others who bow down to systems of authority and I wonder if they even deserve it. The world is in it's current state not because a few bad people rule it at the top, but because billions follow their orders with a smile on their face. The corruption does not exist in the hearts and minds of government officials or CEO's, it exists in the hearts and minds of the average walmart shopper or regular at the local church. The people who do what they do "just to get by" with no regard for their own dignity and no thought about why they bother surviving at all.
So a lot of my training has shifted to attempting to leave my body and never come back. Sure I could just commit suicide to achieve approximately the same thing, in the same way Tang is approximately orange juice, but that wouldn't be any fun. Besides, the ability to consciously leave an incarnation whenever I want would be an incredibly useful skill that would come in very handy in future incarnations whenever I want to "reroll my character."
So I throw it back to you, random reader. Have I been wasting both my time and everyone elses here on this forum, or is there still a reason for me to be here?

The new year offers an opportunity to look at how you could be doing things better – and what better way to start than figuring out how to bag more sales?
Over the past couple of years, the methods for customers paying for things online has shifted quicker than most business owners can keep up.
People are shopping 24/7, using mobile devices to shop wherever and whenever it’s convenient for them.
Meanwhile, they’re now using new methods for getting money to merchants – from cards, BPay all the way through to eWallets.
If your business isn’t keeping up with the trends and adapting to the way customers prefer to pay, then you’re risking leaving sales on the table as your customers start to shop with your savvier competitors.
The key to keeping up is to have an eCommerce strategy in place which is adaptable and nimble as your customers are.
Luckily, this doesn’t need to be a huge deal – here are four steps you can take to make sure you’re making it as easy as possible for your customers to pay you online.
Step 1: Choose an eCommerce platform and merchant service that’s right for you
Not all eCommerce platforms and merchant services are the same.
You’ll have to measure your options and choose a solution that will get your ahead.
Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid any merchant service solutions that are “built in” to your eCommerce platform. These aren’t always bad, but it’s best to use a provider that specialises in payment solutions.
If you need a method for processing online transactions and credit cards, use a payment solutions provider who specialises with these services.
Their expertise is more likely to ensure that the system works correctly, you can get support when you need it, and they can score you the most advantageous fees and transaction rates for their services.
MYOB PayBy is one such merchant services provider, which gives your customers the ability to pay invoices at the click of a button.
It also features fraud detection tools and a PCI DSS v3 Level 1 compliance gateway to make sure both you and your customer can rest easy knowing payments are being made safely.
Step 2: Make the check-out payments page easy
If you haven’t invested time in creating a smooth user experience, your website visitors are likely to bounce.
To increase your sales conversions, make your payments page visually appealing so that your customers can instantly learn about your products and services and follow through to a purchase.
Luckily, MYOB PayBy allows you to create a both a secure and customisable payments page which can be used to process online orders, invoices or statements.
This means not only will your payments page be functional, it will be visually appealing as well.
Step 3: Offer a variety of payment options
This should be a bit of a no-brainer, but avoid making it difficult for your customers to pay you.
Your customers and other online shoppers want choices – debit card, credit card and more. And frequent purchasers want more streamlined payment options like saving their details and pre-filling forms.
By making customers comfortable on the first visit and making the checkout quick and easy, you encourage frequent and repeat business.
Step 4: Analyse your data
If you aren’t taking advantage of the data you have on hand to learn more about your customer base, you’re doing it wrong.
Collecting data is vital to learning about your customers. You can learn more about what your customers want to buy, when they are most likely to purchase, where they like to buy, what payment methods they prefer.
A side effect of having all that juicy data is knowing which segment of your customer base will respond best to your marketing efforts.
This means you can avoid a one-size fits all marketing approach and customise your marketing for each segment.

Sen. Mark Kelly flew with Russian pilots as a US Navy combat pilot and as a NASA astronaut. He said the incident last week where a Russian fighter jet dumped fuel on and then clipped the propeller of a US military drone shows how "reckless" and "incompetent" they are. "I'm not surprised by this. I mean, I flew with Russian pilots, fighter pilots who couldn't fly formation. And I watched this video, and it's pretty obvious what happened. He lost sight of it, and he crashed into it," Kelly told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday.
This is really sad when the guy with Kelly's C.V. lowers himself to a petty exhibition of own complexes, but this is a reaction of classic sore loser, because Kelly wouldn't be able to fly real combat missions in SU-30SM, SU-35 or SU-57 because he simply doesn't have skills and experience to operate such technology. Now, seeing how Russian Air Force downs dozens upon dozens of Ukie combat planes beyond visual range got to him and his complex of inferiority reared its ugly head. Obviously, when the USAF tried to repeat that:
But, in the end, here is a whole regular tactical wing of SU-34s and SU-30SMs flying in formation in the weather conditions which would ground most air forces.

‘Ha’–Represents solar energy and ‘Tha’–represents lunar energy. Means ‘sun energy’ and ‘moonenergy’. The human body combination of solar and lunar energy. solar energy is the life of human being and lunar energy is the emotions, feeling are lunar energy. The purpose of doing this yoga is balancing this two energy in the whole body or system.
We have one more meaning like “Hatha” means ‘Holding’ breath in or out and holding the posture as long as you can. we have to focus on these two things, it should not ‘Hatha’ yourself but you should keep patience as long as you can and your whole mind should focus on the particular part where you feeling stretch or pain and if there is no such things your attention must be with your breath. that is most important things if you not aware of breath and you’re doing postures we can not say it is yoga, it is just an exercise. Yoga means it is not exercise; Yoga is an ancient art of India to cultivate human life, to cultivate health, to cultivate happiness , to cultivate peace of mind and spiritual wisdom and finally enlightenment or samadhi.

Sunderland’s automatic promotion hopes took a hit as they were beaten 2-1 by Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium.
The Black Cats took the lead in the 32nd minute through Charlie Wyke.
Wigan responded with goals from Will Keane in the 42nd minute and Callum Lang in the 58th minute to seal the three points.
Lee Johnson’s first game came at home to Wigan, just hours after his announcement as Sunderland manager, with the game ending 1-0 to the away side.
Bailey Wright returned to Sunderland’s defence for the first time in two months, with Luke O’Nien moving to right back.
Aiden McGeady had the first chance of the game for the home side after link up with Jordan Jones, but his effort was saved by Jamie Jones.
Sunderland found a breakthrough in the 32nd minute. McGeady whipped a cross for Charlie Wyke who looked to be offside, but the flag stayed down and Wyke calmly slotted the ball past Jones.
The Latics responded in the 42nd minute from a deep corner which was headed down by Joe Dodoo, and Will Keane held off his man and smashed his shot past Lee Burge.
Wigan looked the more threatening side in the second half and in the 58th minute, the away side’s corner arrived to Dodoo who crossed for Lang to tap the ball in from point blank range.
The away side almost managed to cement their lead through positive play from Callum Lang, who beat his man and rolled the ball through to Keane, who’s wild shot went wide.
Sunderland’s game in hand advantage over Peterborough has now gone, and the team face an in-form Blackpool side in their next match on Saturday.

Wedding Planning Isn’t Cheap…
The title of this blog post says it all. Wedding planning is not a cheap task. According to CNN Money, couples are spending more than ever on weddings. The average cost of a wedding increased to $32,641 in 2015. The median household income according to the United States Census Bureau is $54,000. This means that many couples are spending more than half of their annual income on their wedding.
With wedding costs on the rise, you may find yourself in a panic while conducting wedding planning activities. There are so many factors to take into consideration. You want your special day to be 100 percent perfect. So how can you fund your dream wedding? How can you cut costs without sacrificing quality? If you have asked either of these questions, this blog post is for you.
Wedding Planning Guide: How To Finance Your Wedding
If you are like many young couples, you probably don’t have a large amount of cash at your disposal to put towards your wedding. That’s where wedding financing and fund raising comes into play. Here are five potential ways to finance your wedding, which can help relieve a little stress associated with your wedding planning activities.
5 Ways To Fund Your Wedding.
- Apply For A Personal Loan.
Technically there is no such thing as a “wedding loan.” If you have heard someone state that they are getting a “wedding loan,” they are most likely referring to a personal loan. If you don’t have equity built up in a home, this may be an excellent option for you to explore. Personal loans traditionally have lower interest rates when compared to other types of loans, which can make it a more attractive option than paying for wedding related expenses on a credit card. Personal loans are unsecured loans, meaning there is no collateral held. When you apply for a personal loan, many factors will be taken into consideration including your credit score and credit history. In most instances, the higher your credit score, the lower the interest rate you will receive. - Apply For A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC).
If you own your home, and have some equity built up in it, you may be eligible for a HELOC. A HELOC could be a great option to help pay for your wedding related expenses, including your honeymoon. A HELOC is a secured loan, using your home as collateral. There are both fixed rate and variable rate HELOCs available at Launch CU. HELOCs traditionally offer lower interest rates than other types of personal loans since they are secured. - Go Fund Me Page
If you are not able to get a personal loan or a HELOC for the full amount of your wedding costs, consider starting a GoFundMe campaign to raise the additional funds. Try promoting your GoFundMe campaign on your social networks. You may be surprised by how many people in your social circle are willing to donate to your special day. - Ask Family & Friends
Instead of having a wedding shower and creating a wedding registry, consider asking your friends and family to help out with wedding related costs. This may have been taboo in the past, but it is becoming more and more acceptable to ask for cash instead of a wedding gift. One site that allows for this is OurWishingWell.com, which lets couples set up a registry where family and friends can easily give cash. - Create a Fiverr Account.
Do you have a special talent? Maybe you love writing? Digital advertising? Social media marketing? Arts and crafts? Fiverr is a site that allows you to conduct tasks for others for as little as $5, though most tasks go for more than $5. Fiverr can be a great way to raise money for your wedding, while also helping others. Creating a Fiverr account and setting up your first “gig” is easy. Simply type in www.fiverr.com into your browser to get started.
Do You Feel A Little Bit Better?
If money is one of the major stresses in relation to you wedding, there are options that can help alleviate the stress so you can focus on all the important aspects of making your wedding picture perfect. Options like a personal loan or a HELOC could provide you with the necessary funds to make your dream wedding a realty. Other sources like GoFundMe and Fiverr can help you raise money for your special day by utilizing your social network and your unique skill set. When it comes to your wedding, you deserve the best. After all, it is one of the most important days of your life, and a day that you will celebrate for years to come.

Our Journey to Net Zero
An update on our pioneering sustainability efforts
This year we have made many changes and introduced new sustainable practices, which will each play their part towards our long-term goal of reaching Net Zero. This includes using resources efficiently, reducing our waste, encouraging biodiversity, and improving our carbon footprint.
Month to month, our peat-free trials are building, and we are now at a stage where one in four plants are potted in peat-free growing media, across our nurseries. Peat is an excellent growing medium; however, its harvesting process releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which has an adverse effect on greenhouse gas levels and contributes to climate change. Our aim is to be 100% peat-free by the end of 2023; it’s a huge challenge for us but it’s vital that we make this change. As part of our peat-free goal, we now also offer our new contract growing programme ‘Watch It Grow’ in peat-free, and display our peat-free plants in Greenwood Choice—our trade sales centre.
Throughout the year, as part of our Greenwood Community scheme, we have donated plants to a number of schools, colleges and local charities, to help with their landscaping and gardening projects. We recently donated a selection of plants to St Wilfrid’s Hospice in Bosham, Chichester, for its dedicated volunteers to plant within its beautiful gardens. St Wilfrid’s Hospice has been working tirelessly on its gardens over the past three years; they have been designed to be enjoyed by all residents, regardless of their mobility.
Many internal changes have been made across our nurseries to reduce waste. These include recycling bins, eco-friendly cleaning products in bulk, chilled drinking water facilities and reusable water bottles for our G Team. New trolley jackets have also been introduced to reduce the amount of single-use packing materials, which is needed for transportation. In Greenwood Choice, we have green waste bins throughout the greenhouse to ensure any weeds are disposed of correctly and composted.
Our journey to becoming fully electric at our Head Office, Fresh Acres nursery, is making great progress; we are pleased to share that another new electric forklift has arrived at our nursery. Electric vehicles provide excellent benefits, such as having the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, and can provide a quieter environment. We have also invested in two new lower emissions trucks to reduce the footprint of the fleet out on the road. In addition, our new ‘engine-off when idling’ policy for all drivers will also help to lower our emissions.
In September, we celebrated our “Sustainable Business of the Year Award” at the 2022 Central South Business Awards. This award recognises the pioneering sustainability practices that we have established across the business, exercising responsible planetary stewardship, and demonstrating sustainability leadership by applying innovative processes and techniques to minimise our imprint on the planet. Sustainability is one of our brand values and the G Team have embraced their role in contributing to our sustainability goals. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved so far and this award is great recognition of an excellent team effort across the business.
Next year, we hope to increase our sustainability efforts further by installing solar panels, investing in more water storage tanks and introducing bee hives to our nurseries.

Amazon Echo Dot 2020
The Amazon Echo Dot now definitely has a more alluring plan. The Amazon Echo Dot (2020) exchanges the puck-like plan that had gotten famous after some time. It had its favorable circumstances, for example, the capacity to slide this under the TV, under your Apple iMac or work area PC and furthermore took almost no space (though vertically) in an amusement bureau, for example.
However, things must change, and what we currently have the circle that sits wonderfully on the workstation table, bedside table, and close to the TV. It won’t slide underneath the TV, I’ll need to break the terrible news to you. However, get over it. What the new circle configuration does is it gives the Amazon Echo Dot (2020) substantially more of a presence.
Also, the light ring currently sits at the extremely lower part of this marginally hacked off the circle (material science, my companions, to forestall it moving off the table) which reflects pleasantly off the tabletop. Especially lighter wood wraps up. Each time you shout to Alexa, the run gives the Amazon Echo Dot (2020) such an enlightened base.
Even though there is another plan language, the Amazon Echo Dot (2020) has a similar impression as the archetype. Flawless the bend at the top is the controls, including for volume and the mic quite catch. This is only the more modest estimated cycle of the forthcoming and bigger Amazon Echo (2020). The hard-plastic shell has likewise been exchanged for a tasteful texture outside. That is turning into a pattern, right? Amazon had it with the past age Echo Plus, Apple has a decent texture work finish for the HomePod, and the new Google Nest Audio likewise utilizes a work outside. Truth be told, you can get the Amazon Echo Dot (2020) in three tones.
The 2020 Echo Dot is probably going to discover favor with the individuals who need a minimized speaker for a little space. Acoustically, it’s currently more qualified than past Echo Dot gadgets, so it works better as an independent speaker for music. Simultaneously, the experience is a lot of equivalent to it was previously, however in a less careful bundle.
- Preferred as an independent speaker over previously
- Impression equivalent to past Dot
- All the aptitudes of Alexa
- Minor execution upgrades
- It’s less watchful than previously
- Basically, a similar encounter as last-gen Echo Do

A very good novel about slavery by way of *The Tempest*. The main plot concerns the legacy of the merchant William Kemp, who invests in a slave ship in an attempt to save his sagging fortunes. (His son, who chooses sugar, gets better results.)
But the key tension operates between the son, Erasmus Kemp, and the nephew Matthew Paris. Kemp wants the good mercantile life; Paris, fleeing from the death of his wife and child while he was imprisoned for publishing heretical (proto-Darwinian) tracts, wants something more radical.
From a Shakespearean point of view, they both want to be Ferdinand: the heir & chosen suitor. Kemp even plays Ferdinand in a failed production of *The Enchanted Island* opposite a wealthy merchant’s daughter early in the novel. But it’s Paris’s multi-racial world, on the slave ship, in Africa, and in Florida, that redefine Prospero’s magic isle.

The goal of the Dunn PAL & Friend’s Talent Showcase is to expose Dunn PAL students and others in our community to the power of the arts. The event will feature local and regional musical acts, and all proceeds will be used to support Dunn PAL programs. Together with the Stewart Theater, the showcase will connect Harnett County’s largest performing arts venue with an organization that serves area youth and help ensure everyone can experience live theater and music.
In the early 1960s, some of the most iconic names in the history of popular music were discovered in the Motor City of Detroit, MI. Masters of Soul is a celebration of these artists, their music, and their style. This show features stylishly-costumed and fully-choreographed tributes to both male and female Motown groups backed by a live band.
Masters of Soul performs The Temptations, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Four Tops, Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Jackson Five, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, The Commodores, and many more.
This project is supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Many customers may have already touched the stones and I also touch them as I make. While my intentions are positive and pure, it's still important to regularly Clear your crystals energy back to their original state. This is the best way to Clear your crystal jewellery:
Hold your jewellery or stones above the smoke of a smudge stick or incense stick.
Any Smudge is perfect, no it does not HAVE to be Sage x
You can use, Rosemary, Lavender, Palo Santo, Eucalyptus or a mixed Smudge.
We sell a large range of 12 pack Incense on our website for convenient smudging.
Set your intentions for your crystals. Sit down, take a few deep breaths, think about all aspects of your life and what you want most from your crystal jewellery, place it in your hands and breathe, set your intentions as a present tense statement.
For example: I am abundant in all aspects of my life!
Speak your intention aloud and thank the universe three times for it already holds what you seek to discover.
Activate your senses with essential oils for your intended use by placing a few drops onto your black lava beads, rub + let it soak in before putting on skin. Re-apply daily or more often if you like. Remove the oil from your volcanic rock by rinsing under running water until your stones no longer feel oily. Note: you do not have to put oils in your bracelets if it's not for you.
We do not recommend wearing your crystals during showering, bathing or swimming.
Avoid soapy chemicals, salt water, overstretching, prolonged exposure to the elements. Should you happen to get salt water or cleaning chemicals on your natural crystal bracelet we recommend a good rinse of each stone under fresh flowing water to remove as much of the salt or chemicals and neutralize any further damage. Each naturally occurring stone will vary slightly in colour, size, shade, shape and pattern, this is not unusual and is to be expected. Healing crystals should be used to compliment other therapies and not as a replacement for medical care.
Cleanse + Clear your crystals every week or if you feel they are holding negative energies or someone with negative energies has touched your crystals and you want to be sure, do it again. You cant be too clean or too clear x
FRESH WATER SAFE
(Natural crystals + stones can break in extreme hot or cold temperature water)

1 Timothy 3:6 KJV
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
Many, especially in Africa are unemployed and are in poverty, sometimes not for lack of jobs or education. Even with higher degrees, many see their foreign counterparts with diplomas only become their bosses. It is a pointer that with the right technical know-how, degrees are no longer the main requirements for jobs, as seen with certain employers lately.
Enthusiasm without knowledge is hollow and knowledge without the right application is a recipe for disaster. A skilled craftsman with experience is safer to work with than a proud novice with a degree.
2 Timothy 2:15 talks about the workman that studies. The defining quality of the man there is that he applies the truth of what he studies. It means having knowledge of Bible principles only won’t be so profitable if one doesn’t work or walk in them, thereby gaining experience. Some others, in fear of judgment from men, especially if they show weakness, have sadly chosen to remain novices, instead of allowing the power of God to flow in spite of or through their weaknesses (1Cor 4:3-5, 2Cor 12:9).
This shouldn’t be so, for how can one gain mastery in the things of God without one first learning from past trials? Believers who prefer to remain in their comfort zones (unwilling to grow or pass faith’s test), will fail if they are errantly put in roles requiring maturity in the spirit (1Cor 9:25, 1Tim 5:22, Heb 5:12-14, Jas 1:25).
A novice will take pride in titles but a true and knowledgeable servant of Christ will value his humbling experience in God over any religious title or qualification. Which one are you (Phil 3:3-11)?

'I'd never want to be without Sunshower® again'
Liesbeth (67) may be retired, she still leads a busy life. She is an educational trainer for medical specialists for Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. She is also an amateur chef, plays golf, enjoys acting, and is the proud grandmother of no fewer than 7 grandchildren. To be able to cope with all this with a supple and relaxed body, she enjoys using her Sunshower.
'My husband and I moved from a 4-storey house with a sauna to a brand new apartment last year. Having a smaller home meant there was no longer room for a sauna. After some consideration, our decision fell on Sunshower, the infrared variant. And to be honest, I wouldn't want it any other way.'
Good for her back
Liesbeth and her man use the infrared function practically every day. "After a day of golf or babysitting , which includes frequently lifting my grandchildren, nothing beats taking a shower to warm my muscles and relax my back. My husband, who has back problems and has had surgery for a slipped disc, also benefits from a shower. He uses it every day before doing his exercises.' And yes, the fact that the device is easy to operate and looks good is of course a bonus.'
Never want to be without it again
According to Liesbeth, the big difference with a sauna is that the Sunshower is more convenient to use. 'You have to plan a sauna otherwise you won't use it, you don't have to with the Sunshower. After all, I take a shower every day. No, I wouldn't want to be without it anymore. In fact, when we babysat our grandchildren for a week, we secretly went home to use our own shower.'
Liesbeth regrets that they only opted for infrared at the time. Now that I know more about the ins and outs of UV light, its low frequency and all the other additional benefits, such as maintaining vitamin D levels and thereby improving resistance, we would definitely have opted for a combination of infrared and UV light. Not to get a tan, no, are you crazy, I already have a boyfriend.'
In addition to the positive physical effects, Liesbeth is also very pleased with the service. 'When we needed a technician, he was not only on the doorstep in no time, he was also extremely polite, knowledgeable and fast.
Compliments where compliments are due!'

By Brad Crawford, 247Sports: LeBron James has a decision to make following the Los Angeles Lakers were swept by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. James is mulling retirement after his 20th NBA season and says he’s “got a lot to think about” before committing to the final year of his contract.
James has been transparent about his yearning to play alongside his son, 2023 USC commit Bronny James, before he steps away from the NBA as one of the greatest players of all-time.
Read the full story…
If LeBron goes through with his retirement threats (very unlikely, it seems), then there's little chance Bronny is a first-round pick. At the same time, if the end really is near for the 38-year-old LeBron then there's little chance Bronny spends multiple years in college. His father's NBA clock is ticking.

Patrol staff • 2024-10-07
Over the past few years, there have been notable incidents that have affected Jira Cloud users, exposing data and causing security risks for organizations that rely on it. Patrol for Jira continuously inspects Jira for problems, intrusion signs, miconfigurations and vulnerabilities - it helps protect your Jira instance for a fraction of cost of a potential breach!
In today’s interconnected world, cloud platforms like Jira Cloud are critical tools for managing workflows, tracking projects, and collaborating across teams. But with this power comes responsibility, particularly when it comes to protecting your Jira environment from security misconfigurations, token leaks, and unauthorized access. Over the past few years, there have been notable incidents that have affected Jira Cloud users, exposing data and causing security risks for organizations that rely on it.
In 2022, a vulnerability was discovered in Jira Cloud’s handling of API tokens. The issue arose when sensitive tokens were inadvertently embedded in URLs. These URLs could be exposed in web server logs, browser histories, or even shared through links, making them easily accessible to attackers who could use them to gain unauthorized access to Jira environments.
In mid-2022, Jira Cloud faced another issue where anonymous users were mistakenly granted access to internal project data. This flaw resulted from misconfigured permission settings when sharing dashboards, filters, or other assets. Organizations sharing certain Jira content publicly were unaware that their sensitive internal data was unintentionally being exposed to external users, putting proprietary data at risk.
One way to deal with security issues in Jira is to rely on a software that is aware of the latest threats, vulnerabilities, attack campaigns against Jira, and can help your company mitigate the risk and fix problems.
Patrol is a comprehensive Jira app that continuously scans your environment for potential misconfigurations, security vulnerabilities, and anomalies. Here’s how it can safeguard your instance from the kinds of incidents described above:
1. Misconfiguration Detection
Misconfigurations in permissions, like the one that exposed sensitive project data to anonymous users, can be hard to spot. Patrol actively scans your Jira settings for:
By identifying these issues early, Patrol prevents data exposure before it becomes a problem. When a potential misconfiguration is detected, Patrol sends real-time alerts and suggestions on how to fix the issue, ensuring that your Jira environment is always secure.
2. Token and Secret Monitoring
API tokens and secrets are vital for integrating Jira with third-party apps and services. However, as the 2022 incident shows, tokens can be exposed via URLs or mismanagement, leading to unauthorized access. Patrol mitigates this risk by:
Patrol can also enforce best practices like token rotation and least privilege access, ensuring that your API tokens are used securely and responsibly.
3. Third-Party App CVE Monitoring
Jira integrates with countless third-party apps that extend its functionality. However, these apps can also introduce vulnerabilities. Patrol tracks Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) for all apps connected to your Jira environment and alerts you to any security risks. This helps you:
4. Audit Logs and Anomaly Detection
Patrol continuously monitors your Jira audit logs, looking for suspicious actions such as:
By flagging these anomalies early, Patrol enables your team to respond to potential threats before they escalate into full-blown security breaches.
While large-scale security breaches can cost companies millions in direct financial loss, legal fees, and reputation damage, Patrol provides an affordable and proactive solution to protect your Jira Cloud environment.
For example, consider the average cost of a data breach:
With Patrol, you can avoid these devastating outcomes by securing your Jira Cloud instance for a fraction of that cost - only $0.5/user/month. The app’s continuous monitoring, real-time alerts, and automated remediation suggestions help prevent the kinds of incidents that have compromised Jira users in the past.
Ensure your Jira Cloud instance is always secure - get Patrol today!
Up and running in a few second. For the first 30 days you get the fully app functionality, completely free.

In particular, a warehouse with large usage or machines needs regular inspections to ensure that the circuits are secure and all aspects are compliant with the Australian Standards. Where an electrical switchboard is becoming aged or there is a new tenancy or new machine installed, it is highly recommended a qualified electrician completes a thorough inspection.
Whilst onsite for another task when in a warehouse in Banyo, we identified that this switchboard was damaged and unsafe to work on. The switchboard was non-maintainable and if a catastrophic fault eventuated, the complex likely would have been without power for many weeks until a custom switchboard was made and installed. By upgrading the switchboard, the pro-active owners of this building mitigated the risk of failure, therefore protecting their asset and their clients’ power needs.

Everyone knows that spending time outdoors is good for them. People feel more connected to nature, get some much-needed vitamin D, and breathe in the fresh air. But did you know that having an outdoor living space can actually improve your health in several ways? Here are six ways your health can benefit from spending time in your backyard oasis.
1. Boosts Mood and Reduces Stress Levels
Being outdoors has been shown to reduce stress levels and improve mood. One study even found that patients who had views of nature from their hospital rooms recovered faster than those who didn’t. So, if you’re looking for a way to reduce stress and boost your mood, spending time in your outdoor living space is a great option.
2. Improves Sleep Quality
Getting enough quality sleep is essential for good health. Fortunately, spending time outside can help with this. Exposure to natural light during the day can help regulate your body’s sleep-wake cycle, so you’ll sleep better if you spend time outside during the day. Consider adding elements that allow natural light in, such as skylights or open windows, when designing your outdoor living space.
3. Lowers Blood Pressure
Research has shown that spending time in nature can lower blood pressure. One study found that just 20 minutes of walking in a park was enough to significantly lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. So, if you’re looking for a way to keep your blood pressure under control, spending time outdoors is a great option. Before hitting the gym, consider taking a stroll in your outdoor living space instead.
4. Reduces Risk of Chronic Diseases
Spending time outdoors has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. One reason for this is that being active outdoors helps improve fitness levels and reduces obesity, which is both risk factors for chronic diseases. In addition, exposure to nature has been shown to reduce stress levels, which can also lower the risk of chronic diseases. While some outdoor activities, like gardening, also offer the benefit of physical activity, simply spending time outside can have health benefits.
5. Increases Energy Levels
Spending time outdoors is a great option if you’re looking for a way to increase your energy levels. Research has shown that being active outdoors can increase energy levels and reduce fatigue. So, if you’re feeling tired, head outside for a walk or bike ride and see if it gives you the energy boost you need. When designing your outdoor living space, consider adding options for physical activity, like a walking path or bike rack.
6. Improves Mental Health
Spending time outdoors has been shown to improve mental health in several ways. It can reduce stress levels, boost mood, increase self-esteem, and decrease anxiety and depression symptoms. If you’re struggling with mental health issues, spending time in nature could be a helpful coping mechanism for you. You can even incorporate elements of nature, like plants and water features, into your outdoor living space to further improve its effects on mental health.
How Can You Improve Your Outdoor Living Space
Now that you know the benefits of spending time in your outdoor living space, you may wonder how to improve it. Here are a few ideas:
- Add plants, flowers, and trees to bring more nature into your space
- Incorporate comfortable seating options for relaxing
- Install a fire pit for cozy nights outdoors
- Build a 10×12 shed to store outdoor equipment and create additional space
- Invest in a high-quality grill for cooking
- Add lighting for nighttime use
What to remember: Before making any big changes to your outdoor living space, consider how it will fit with the rest of your yard. Make sure any additions complement the existing layout and design. And remember to prioritize comfort and practicality over trends to truly enjoy your outdoor living space.
Overall, having an outdoor living space is a great way to improve your health in several ways. So, make the most out of yours by incorporating elements that enhance the experience and make it a space you enjoy spending time in.
There are countless reasons why spending time outdoors is good for you—and now you know that having an outdoor living space can actually improve your health in several ways! From reducing stress levels to improving sleep quality to increasing energy levels, there are many benefits to spending time in your own backyard oasis. So what are you waiting for? Get outside and start reaping the benefits today!
