“To shed light on the problems we face (within the Syrian revolution), but with a smile. This is the goal of “Three Star Revolution” a comedy show. Program presenter Abdulwahhab Al-Mulla described the 20-minute program as being, “comedic, critical and contentious.”
Though activists had been speaking about the program for months, it was finally born in the month of Ramadan, July 2013. Al-Mulla hoped to draw attention to the concerns of the people of Aleppo, and to criticize mistakes that must be correction.
Where does the name “Three Star Revolution” come from? “Good things tend to have a five-star rating,” Al-Mulla said, “but our revolution is still three stars. We hope that through our discussion of problems and our attempt to fix them, we can make it a five star revolution.”
The show is aired on TV on the following channels: Aleppo Today, Syria Al-Shaab, Deir ez-Zor TV, as well as on YouTube. It is funded by “a group of expatriates in the US who liked the idea, so they sent cameras and lighting kits, without any stipulations,” Al-Mulla said. Among the groups on the ground that have participated in the project are Aleppo News Network, idea, and Itqan (Perfection). It is a successful collaboration between people inside and outside Syria, despite the misconception that the two don’t work well together.
The first three episodes of the program focus on people’s concerns, related to both everyday affairs as well as larger issues. The show tells a story of heroism and steadfastness of a people who have been abandoned, and yet are still able to give back. One of the characters is a man in a wheelchair, who, despite his disability, moves around and cares for plants in the garden. The show also tells the true story of the Aleppo crossing, in an episode that attempts to clarify the narratives being told on mainstream media.
Relief work is also discussed in the show, which features the opinions of the people, as well as of the groups responsible for the work. There is an open criticism of mistakes being made in the humanitarian relief process, and possible solutions are included as well.
Though the production team is optimistic, they face a number of difficulties. They are short staffed and lack experiences. “The production team is composed of amateurs, we are not professionals. Because we want everything related to the revolution to be top quality, we spent a lot of time searching for professionals, but did not find any. We began experimenting, and thankfully, we were able to create something that people appreciated.”

The team attempts to instill ideals such as “optimism, forgiveness, hope, benevolence, and reason,” Al-Mulla said, adding that their audience grew in a short period of time. “More people responded to us than we expected.”
Even when they discuss topics that are sad, the team tries to remain optimistic. “When we talk about martyrs, or about the country’s political situation, we often have to go through several takes before we get to a light enough mood.”
The team hopes that the program will gain recognition and become an official TV program, not because they are searching for fame, but because they have a message they want to deliver. “If it were not for the revolution, none of us would have a voice,” Al-Mulla said. He sees “Three Star Revolution” as an opportunity to speak the truth in order to protect the revolution.

Are there milk trains?
Milk cars are a specialized type of railroad car intended to transport raw milk from collection points near dairy farms to a processing creamery. Some milk cars were intended for loading with multiple cans of milk, while others were designed with a single tank for bulk loading.
Who owns Milk Train?
Milk Train cafe in Covent Garden, London has started a new food trend by serving ice cream wrapped in candy floss. The Japanese-inspired cafe has a range of flavours, with matcha (green tea) proving one of the most popular, according to owner Michael Tran. An icon in the shape of a lightning bolt.
How is milk transported?
Fresh milk is driven from the dairy farm to a local dairy processing plant in an insulated, sealed tanker truck. You’ve probably seen one on the highway – it is similar to a giant thermos on wheels. Some farmers produce enough milk on their farm to fill an entire tanker truck (or more!) with their farm’s milk.

Lenders Find Favor With Beach Hotel Investments
by Eleazar David Melendez
Traditionally, summer is the offseason for South Florida hotels, a time when the crowds pack up and the locals get to relax.
The lawyers working for those hotels, it would seem, aren’t much for tradition.
Two oceanfront hotel refinance deals that closed in June are among the biggest mortgages recorded in Miami-Dade County this year, public records show.
On June 25, the owners of the Eden Roc Hotel at 4525 Collins Ave. in Miami Beach scored a $190 million loan from Cantor Commercial Real Estate and Citigroup, the third-largest financing recorded this year in Miami-Dade. About $138 million was used to cancel a loan from Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, while the rest will be used for renovations. The day before the loan closed, Eden Roc owners filed a notice with the county saying they are starting work on a hotel restaurant, entryway and adjoining areas.
In a deal that closed June 10, the owners of the Grand Beach Hotel at 9449 Collins Ave. in Surfside obtained $50 million from TotalBank. That qualifies as the 20th-largest mortgage recorded in the county this year.
Attorneys who worked the deals said the new mortgages are the result of a credit environment that’s flooding hotel owners with loan and buyout offers.
“We get calls, and I can’t tell you how many times a week, where people are just saying, ‘Hey, we’re looking for hotels to buy,’” said Karyl Argamasilla, of counsel in the real estate group at Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod in Miami. Argamasilla, who was 2014 president of the Miami chapter of Commercial Real Estate Women, represented the Grand Beach lender. “They’re willing to take anything.”
The Grand Beach deal is somewhat unusual because most of the money is meant for construction of a new hotel rather than renovations. Argamasilla said TotalBank felt comfortable doing the deal because the Grand Beach ownership group is a long-time client with whom the bank executed a similar deal in the past.
Argamasilla said if TotalBank hadn’t taken the deal, there were two other banks waiting in the wings, reflecting the frothy hotel financing market.
“Everyone wants the hot property out in the ocean,” Argamasilla said. “You’re seeing it all the way up to Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. On the borrower’s side, they want to improve the property so it can keep up in a very competitive market.”
Argamasilla said the interest in hotels is coming from both hotel investors and generalist financiers, driven by compressed returns in other real estate investment asset classes.
“These lenders are just fighting to make these loans,” Argamasilla said.
Ari Tenzer, founder of Tenzer PLLC, told the Daily Business Review his law firm participated in the Eden Roc deal, and a New York firm took the lead.
In a deal that Tenzer worked on last year, Eden Roc announced a partnership with Nobu, the upscale Japanese restaurant brand with 33 locations worldwide and a hotel in Las Vegas. As part of the deal, Nobu will move its Miami location from the Shore Club at 1901 Collins Ave., while the Eden Roc will parcel out a renovated hotel-within-a-hotel with the Nobu brand.

Quick Read: Using Worked examples to support novice learners
Worked examples are a tool commonly used in a range of subjects including Maths and Science to support novice learners. By studying worked examples alongside the completion of traditional practice problems, learners are exposed to the problem solving process as well as frequently applied techniques.
A well constructed worked example:
- Helps reduce extraneous cognitive load on learners
- Aids learners in assimilating new knowledge into their existing understanding
- Is especially useful for novices during the early stages of learning a concept
- Highlights common steps taken when solving problems
As learners become more capable these benefits reduce and worked examples can begin to hinder learners. As with many types of scaffolding and support, worked examples should be faded out as needed.

Kia has introduced the K8 for the Korean market, highlighting its eye-catching new design.
The front showcases headlights that bear a striking resemblance to the EV9, while the taillights draw inspiration from the updated K5 and new K4 models available in the U.S.
The K8 offers a welcoming interior with luxurious materials, expansive screens across the dashboard, soothing ambient lighting, and a convenient rotary shift knob.
The vehicle will still be equipped with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that delivers an impressive 296 horsepower.
Kia has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from offering basic, budget-friendly vehicles to now providing stylish and well-equipped options.
Leading the way are models like the highly sought-after Telluride SUV and the Carnival minivan.
Nevertheless, some upscale endeavors in the U.S. have fallen short, as exemplified by the Cadenza sedan.
While it ceased sales here in 2020, it still thrives in South Korea as the K8. The new teaser images indicate that the refreshed K8 will be quite remarkable.
The design of the K8 is inspired by Kia's electric vehicles, seamlessly combining elements from-
their EVs with traditional gas-powered models such as the refreshed Carnival and new K4.
The sleek headlights, reminiscent of the EV9 SUV, are seamlessly linked by a slender trim adorned with subtle lighting details. The car's taillights stretch-
across its entire width, culminating in vertical LEDs, while the overall design showcases a stylish and streamlined sloping roofline.
Even if the new Kia K8 doesn't come to the U.S., it's great to see new technologies being used in other countries, especially in cars that used to be in our range.

A Comprehensive Guide to ISO 20022 Migration Roadmap
The global financial landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and staying ahead of the curve is paramount for financial institutions. One significant development that is reshaping how banks communicate and transact is the adoption of ISO 20022, an international standard for financial messaging. This comprehensive guide aims to shed light on ISO 20022, why it’s indispensable for the banking sector, and how to navigate the migration process effectively through a well-crafted ISO 20022 migration roadmap.
Understanding ISO 20022
What is ISO 20022?
ISO 20022 might sound like a cryptic code, but it’s far from it. At its core, ISO 20022 is an international standard for financial messaging that sets a common language for the development of messages related to various financial transactions. It is designed to ensure clarity, consistency, and interoperability in financial communications. Unlike its predecessors, ISO 20022 is highly adaptable and can accommodate a broad spectrum of financial products and services.
Why is ISO 20022 Crucial for the Banking Sector?
Enhanced Data Quality: ISO 20022 allows for structured, comprehensive data in messages, reducing errors and enhancing straight-through processing.
Global Interoperability: It promotes seamless global interoperability, making cross-border transactions more efficient and less error-prone.
Compliance and Regulation: Many regulatory bodies worldwide are encouraging or mandating ISO 20022 adoption as it enhances transparency and reduces risks in the financial sector.
Improved Customer Experience: ISO 20022 facilitates better communication with customers, leading to enhanced service quality and increased customer satisfaction.
Creating an ISO 20022 Migration Roadmap
Migrating to ISO 20022 is a significant undertaking that requires careful planning and execution. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating an effective ISO 20022 migration roadmap:
1. Assessment Phase:
Identify Stakeholders: Determine who will be affected by the migration, including internal teams, customers, and third-party providers.
Current State Analysis: Evaluate your existing messaging infrastructure, pinpointing areas that need improvement or adjustments.
2. Define Objectives:
Clearly Define Goals: Set specific, measurable objectives for the migration, such as improving data quality, ensuring compliance, or reducing operational costs.
3. Design Phase:
Choose Migration Approach: Decide whether you will adopt ISO 20022 in phases or migrate all at once based on your institution’s needs and capabilities.
Select Tools and Partners: Identify the right tools and partners who can assist with the migration process, ensuring their compatibility with ISO 20022 standards.
4. Implementation Phase:
Data Mapping: Meticulously map your existing data and transaction flows to ISO 20022 message formats.
Testing: Rigorously test the new messaging infrastructure to ensure data accuracy, compliance, and optimal performance.
5. Migration Phase:
Transition Plan: Develop a detailed plan for the actual migration, including a timeline, contingency plans, and strategies for risk mitigation.
6. Post-Migration Phase:
Monitoring and Optimization: Continuously monitor the new system and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal performance, data accuracy, and compliance.
Best Practices and Potential Challenges
As you embark on your ISO 20022 migration journey, it’s essential to keep these best practices and potential challenges in mind:
Engage Stakeholders: Involve all relevant stakeholders from the outset to ensure buy-in, alignment of goals, and a smoother transition.
Training: Provide comprehensive training for your teams to ensure they are proficient in using ISO 20022 effectively.
Data Quality Assurance: Implement robust data quality checks and validation mechanisms to maintain data accuracy throughout the migration process and beyond.
Complexity: The migration to ISO 20022 can be complex, particularly for large financial institutions with extensive legacy systems. A well-defined roadmap is essential to navigate this complexity successfully.
Costs: The initial investment in technology, training, and compliance can be substantial. Ensure that your budget and resource allocation align with the scope of the migration.
Integration: Ensure seamless integration with other systems and third-party providers, as interoperability is a key benefit of ISO 20022.
In conclusion, ISO 20022 is not just a standard; it’s a transformative force in the world of financial messaging. Its adoption is a strategic move that positions financial institutions for competitiveness, compliance, and efficiency in an ever-evolving industry. By following the steps outlined in this guide and adhering to best practices, you can create a robust ISO 20022 migration roadmap that ensures a smooth transition and a prosperous future in the dynamic realm of finance.

The President of China on his recent official trip was not only heckled by a Falun Gong activist during his address on the White house lawns
If this were not enough then being heckled by President George Bush, is rude enough by an annoying tug on his sleeve. Many Chinese have said that this was uncalled for and label Bush as a “protocol-impaired dweeb”
A dialogue which may have transpired off the record…..
BUSH: Can I come too…. pretty please!
HU: Dang it Bush! Leave me alone!!! (“Idiot doesn’t know when to stop bothering us rich folks”)

Isaiah 40:11 meaning
In a time of deep discouragement and exile for Israel, the promise of divine deliverance shines through the prophet Isaiah's words. The imagery in this verse reveals God’s intimate care for His people, likening His nurturing nature to that of a shepherd who feeds and gathers His flock. This shepherd-king would demonstrate both strength and compassion as He guides His people, emphasizing the duality of God’s character - a ruler who wields powerful authority yet lovingly attends to the needs of the vulnerable.
As the passage unfolds the theme of God’s redemptive power, it offers assurance that despite the challenges ahead, His nurturing presence will prevail. Here, God's "arm" symbolizes strength in governance while His gentle actions toward the lambs portray His sensitivity and love. This verse encapsulates a profound truth: God's rule is not merely about authority but also about intimate connection and care for those He cherishes. In Isaiah 40:11, believers find comfort in knowing they are securely held and gently led by a God who combines majesty with mercy.
He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

The Mid-Atlantic region has seen some tough hurricane seasons over the past 5 years. While proper insurance coverage doesn’t normally seem to be a priority, it does become top-of-mind when severe storms are looming. If you have concerns about rain water, heavy winds, fallen trees, and lost power, “Am I covered?” is much easier to address before damage is done. As hurricane season approaches, keep these five things in mind:
1. Be Prepared. In the event of a catastrophic claim, how great would it be to have pre-disaster video/photographs of your home to share with your insurance claims adjuster? This is a relatively simple task to accomplish these days. Spending an hour walking around your home taking video inventory of your personal contents as well as video/photos of your home will save you a ton of time scrambling for receipts to show your adjuster.
2. Know Your Deductible. Most of you know that your home insurance policy has a deductible, usually $500 or $1000. What you may not be aware of is that a few companies’ policies carry a much larger “Hurricane Deductible” which is a percentage of your dwelling coverage. Example: Your dwelling coverage on your home insurance is $400,000 and you have a 2% Hurricane Deductible. This means that you’ll be paying for the first $8,000 worth of damage resulting from a hurricane. Brace yourself…some policies carry a 5% deductible ($20,000). Yikes.
3. Know that Flood is Not Covered. Most insurance policies exclude flood damage. In order for this to be covered, you need to purchase this coverage separately through your insurance agent. Coverage is available for your dwelling as well as contents of your home. IMPORTANT: Flood insurance typically carries a 30-day waiting period. So if you call your agent the day before the hurricane is arriving, you will likely be out of luck.
4. Take Preventative Measures. If you sustain wind damage and can safely prevent further damage from occurring through the use of tarps and covers, do it! Save receipts from any materials used…most insurance companies will reimburse you.
5. Your neighbor’s Tree IS Your Responsibility. It’s hard for some people to believe, but if your neighbor’s tree falls on your home, YOUR insurance would pay for the damage to your home, not theirs. If you suspect a neighbor’s tree is dying or threatening to come down, you need to notify them of this in writing (if you’re nervous about the formality of sending them a letter, blame it on me!) so that if the tree does fall down, you pay be able to hold them accountable.
BONUS #6: Don’t Forget About Your Car. Assuming you have Comprehensive coverage on your auto insurance policy, you should be covered if the next hurricane knocks a tree over on your car.

DEA Arrests Suspect Tied to Cartel in Atlanta Meth Bust
In a significant operation, 33-year-old Franklin Pineda Orrosquieta was apprehended by DEA agents in Atlanta. The DEA has connected the seized methamphetamine to the Jalisco New Generation cartel, proving Atlanta’s role in the cartel’s drug conflict.
According to authorities, Atlanta serves as a crucial hub for narcotics entering from Mexico, where they are processed for distribution.
On Monday, March 11th, agents raided a storage facility on Jimmy Carter Blvd in Norcross, GA. Inside, they discovered over 855 pounds (387 kgs) of crystal methamphetamine, valued at approximately $1.5 million on the streets.
“The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is proud to have a Task Force Officer assigned to this DEA Atlanta Task Force group. We appreciate the value of our federal, state, and local partners in our collective efforts to remove illicit drugs from our neighborhoods and ensure the safety of our communities,” stated the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office.

Why it matters: The twice-yearly clock changes likely won’t stop anytime soon with efforts in Congress to make daylight saving time permanent stalled since March.
- Health experts and lawmakers agree that switching the clock back and forth should end but haven’t reached a consensus on whether permanent daylight saving time or year-round standard time is best.
Flashback: In the 1970s, the last time Congress made daylight saving time permanent, the decision was reversed in less than a year after the early morning darkness proved dangerous for school children and public sentiment changed.
When does the time change
Details: Sunday morning at 2 am is considered the official time to set clocks to standard time but many will change the time on their devices before going to bed on Saturday.
- Daylight saving time is scheduled to return Sunday, March 10.
- DST used to run from April to October but the Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended DST by approximately four weeks from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
Gain an hour with “fall back”
Be smart: The “fall back” is the less-hated clock change when we “gain” an hour versus “lose” an hour in March.
- Sunrise and sunset will be about an hour earlier Sunday and there will be more light in the morning, per Almanac.com.
- An interactive tool at SaveStandardTime.com shows the time of sunrise and sunset by location under standard and daylight time.
Permanent daylight saving time push
The latest: In March, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act, which in 2022 passed by unanimous consent in the Senate but was not voted on by the House.
- This year’s Senate bill was referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation but there has been no other movement.
- Companion legislation was reintroduced in the House in March but has not moved since being referred to the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Innovation, Data, and Commerce.
States observing permanent standard time
Hawaii and Arizona do not observe daylight saving time with the exception of the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona.
- U.S. territories including Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa and the Virgin Islands also observe permanent standard time.
States that want daylight saving time year-round
State of play: 19 states have passed bills or resolutions since 2018 to make daylight saving time year-round if Congress acts, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
- Florida was the first to pass legislation in 2018 and Colorado and Kentucky lawmakers passed resolutions to make daylight saving permanent in 2022.
- Other states that have taken action are: Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
- In California, voters approved the Proposition 7 ballot initiative in 2018 but legislative action hasn’t been acted on.
Yes, but: Federal law says states can unilaterally move to standard time, but must have the approval of Congress to adopt year-round daylight saving time.
Time change impact on sleep and health
Context: Doctors and health groups including the American Academy of Sleep Medicine say standard time is more aligned with our bodies’ clocks and that daylight saving time should be replaced by permanent standard time.
- “Essentially, standard time is what keeps us sane, despite the short days of winter,” Karin Johnson, a professor of neurology and sleep medicine specialist, told Axios’ Carly Mallenbaum.
- Michael Breus, known as the “Sleep Doctor,” said lawmakers have the science completely wrong with the Sunshine Protection Act and their push for permanent daylight saving time.
- “The science would say we don’t want to be waking up in darkness,” Breus told Axios.
Of note: The March “spring forward” is linked to an increase in car accidents, heart attacks and strokes.

The Infection Control Symbol Package
This is a collection of graphical symbols for communicating infection control situations and best practices, from simple hand hygiene reminders to warnings of outbreak or isolation situations.
Using symbols to protect pubic health and safety is both very common and effective. Traffic signs prevent road deaths and hazard warning symbols on household products emphasize cautions needed when handling. The same works for infection control. There are proven interventions that prevent infection and save lives and connecting them to symbols ensures they are followed.
These symbols were created from the ground up to be inclusive – to work in any field, in any country and speak to people who possess any level of literacy.
The “Stop: Clean Your Hands” symbol alone has been in use at the top of hundreds of hand hygiene stations across Canada since 2005. In addition, the package and templates containing our symbols have been hosted by the Ebola Communication Network site since 2014.

André-Pierre Gignac, on the occasion of his rejuvenation with Tigers For three years, he gave an interview to the club’s official channel, where he confirmed that when his association with the northern club ends, he will remain to live in Mexico, and in the future he will be the coach of the team. He emphasized: “Gignac is not a Tigres.”
“I arrived six years ago and knew it wasn’t for a while; I knew this wasn’t an adventure, and that we’d be together for a long time, and I don’t know why, it was something I can’t explain, something incredible and it really has been done. I’m from Monterey,” French said.
He has endorsed that he feels 100 percent Mexican, and is actually defending Nuevo León, his state. “I’m totally Mexican. Country, city, royal citizen, and I’m another one … We are an incredible country, the people of the North, it’s unbelievable and I love living here. I’m going to finish my career in Tigres, I’ve said it many times, and I’ll stay in Mexico.” To live my other life. “
André-Pierre Gignac won four titles in Liga MX with cats and two goals, and his contribution was great, but he confirms that Tigres is not Gignac: “I belong to an institution, to a wonderful group, the best that I can. It has happened. Tigers have been and will exist before Andre and after, so We can’t say, for sure, I’m from Tigres, but I’m not Tigress. “
In the face of this tournament, the Frenchman said that the team as always will move from least to most, will fight for the title, but he hopes the fans will return to the stadiums, because they need: “I miss them a lot, they push, shoot, and in difficult moments, they are Very necessary, like playing 12 while they are loyal to 100; there is a goal against and they sing louder, the support is always there, and I really want them to come back on the field. “

Thus I wondered, how can he be. He shouldn’t be but fits the mold better than anyone Awesome DC Vs Everybody Shirt given the standards of CEOs. The reason the trickle-down policies don’t work is that we no longer have who have worked in the lower positions of the companies they run, instead. We have people who have inherited the company or walked into it at CEO entry-level. This made me think of the Kazakh national anthem from Borat. I lived in France for ten years. I know it’s Le Royaume Uni (U.K) but I have no idea what gender England Ireland or Scotland is since it’s contracted. I’m guessing they’re all feminine because of the e on the end but if I know for sure.

Trump is no different than second-generation Walton making a name for no regard for Awesome DC Vs Everybody Shirts the employees. Part of it might be his, and the attitudes imparted in business school. I once got my mitts on an economics book entitled something like. It related a little anecdote about a missionary in China, who came upon a work crew hauling a boat out of the water. The crew was being whipped by an overseer. The missionary was aghast. But a bystander explained that the crew liked the overseer. Whipping them because it punished slackers and goaded them to be more productive.

Is there an upside to being stubborn? When you are faced with obstacles, stubbornness can help you move ahead instead of being stopped by them
Image courtesy of Nathan Rogers at FreeDigitalPhotos.net
There’s an upside to being stubborn?
Sure there is! When I say “stubborn” I don’t mean being hard-hearted, unteachable, or rude. Nope! I am talking about being firm in your beliefs and standing strong in the face of opposition. I believe that being stubborn can be a great tool if used properly.
How? Well, being a little bit obstinate can keep you from…
- Giving up too easily
- Being wishy-washy or easily swayed
- Succumbing to peer pressure
- Stressing too much about what others think
When it comes to health, fitness, and just about anything in life, we could all use a dose of stubbornacity (new word!). Are you frustrated with your health and fitness? Don’t give up – keep forging ahead and add something new!
Are you discouraged by other people’s put-downs and criticisms? Steel your mind against the words of your enemies and keep moving forward!
It’s okay to be a little bit stubborn. Don’t give up on your dreams because others disapprove. There is a time for everything in life, and there is a time to be stubborn. There absolutely can be a balance between being gracious and having tenacity.
“There is an appointed time for everything….
…A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.”
Ecclesiastes 3:3-8 NASB
When do you feel being stubborn is the right thing to do?

I distinctly remember the cookie jar filled to the brim every time we’d visit Grandma’s home. She loved to bake, and was damn good at it…pies, cakes, jello salads…okay, jello doesn’t involve baking.
Her molasses cookies are a definite favorite among her posterity. When my genius of a brother was about 5 years old, he became rather distraught and proclaimed we shouldn’t swear and that molasses was a swear word…mole-asses (my powers of deduction was definitely not nearly that advanced at age 5). So from then on, we were to call molasses cookies gopher bottom cookies…over 20 years later, Gopher Bottom Cookies is the proper name in our household.
The love of her cookies has been passed along to the next generation. My kiddos can never get enough…especially Bean. He’s my chocolate loathing, cookie hating kid. I know! Blasphemy! And yet, he loves these cookies. Most cookies with molasses have more of a ginger flavor. Not these, there is ginger, but the star of the show is the molasses.
Grandma’s recipe is pretty much perfect. Equal amounts of spice to sugar flavor and when they come out of the oven, they are perfectly crunchy on the outside and ooie-gooie on the inside. I’ve only made very minor modifications in the years since.
GG Gladys’ Molasses Cookies
- ¾ cup shortening
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup dark molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup raw sugar
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place either parchment paper or silicone pads on baking sheets.
- Combine shortening, white sugar, molasses, egg and vanilla in mixing bowl; mixing between adding each ingredient. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- Once the wet ingredients are thoroughly blended together, add the dry ingredients in 1/3 at a time, mixing in between each adding.
- Once mixed, roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls, then roll around in the raw sugar. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- For a more gooie cookie on the inside, bake for 8 minutes, for a crisper cookie bake for 10 minutes. Be sure not to crowd the baking pan, these cookies do spread out.
My Grandma Gladys was a pretty amazing lady. I shared a birthday with her and thankfully we were able to spend a few of them together. She was also a huge prankster. My Grandpa George was a farmer and would either come home each day for lunch (which was the big meal of the day) or during harvest, Grandma Gladys would pack him a lunch. Well during one harvest season, my Grandpa snuck in the house and drank the last Coca Cola. Once he did, he realized that my grandma wouldn’t be too happy that there wasn’t any left. So he filled it with the leftover coffee from the morning brew, and then stuck it back in the fridge. Later, Grandma went to enjoy the last Coke, and as soon as she took the first swig, she thought she was being poisoned. When she found out what Grandpa had done and that in fact, she wasn’t poisoned…the next day she made my Grandpa a very special lunch to take to the fields.
Grandpa thought that Grandma had made him a bologna sandwich…instead of bologna, she put the old pink drain stopper from the tub in the sandwich. I don’t know if she cleaned it first or let Grandpa take a huge bite into a germ-infested tub stopper…either way, she held her own against Grandpa.
Do you have any family recipes that are legendary? Writing recipes down on little index cards are becoming a thing of the past. Right now Grandma’s recipes are all divided up among her children, but one day I hope that I will be able to possess at least a few of hers.

Clean water has become an especially hot topic in recent national conversation. And this is for good reason. Scientists have currently identified 2,100 known contaminants that could be present in the tap water we drink each day. These contaminants, some of which have been found to be directly poisonous to humans, cause approximately 900,000 people to become sick with contamination-related illnesses each year. With statistics like these, it’s no wonder that home water purification systems and whole home water treatments are gaining popularity. But what happens when this contamination extends beyond the residential sector? What is, for example, water at your favorite fast food chain or local restaurant is contaminated?
This is when filtration systems like the everpure water filter system come into play. According to the Vending Times (Everpure Self-Cleaning Filtration System Addresses High-Volume Foodservice Equipment Demands), the everpure water filter system, specifically the Everpure Endurance SC model, is an instrumental innovation for the foodservice industry. Within this high-volume, fast paced commercial realm, the self-cleaning everpure water filter system works on all water-using equipment and is designed to improve the quality of associated beverages while requiring fewer filter changes. With these overarching benefit in mind, here are three reasons why your favorite place to eat out should be using an everpure water filter system.
- Self-Cleaning Capabilities Reduce Chances of Oversight
- More Customers Doesn’t Mean More Contamination
- Back and Forward Flushes Mean Higher Quality
While traditional filtration systems often require frequent filter changes, the everpure water filter system only needs to be changed approximately once a year in most situations. This is especially important for pieces of water-based equipment, such as cold beverage, coffee and ice-making machines, where high suspended solid content from tap water usually leads to clogging in traditional carbon filters.An everpure filter features a self-cleaning feature that extends the lifespan of both the ultrafiltration membrane and thus the downstream fine carbon filters. All of this means that establishments do not have to rely on employees to remember to change filters and thus factor in an element of human error to the purification process.
An everpure water filter system is also highly scalable, which is key for high-volume foodservices. The Everpure Endurance SC System, for example, offers a marginally higher capacity of up to 200,000 gallons and a flow rate of up to 15 gpm. It also features two water outlets, which can be used for fountain or drinking water application. Likewise, the dual design can be applied for coffee brewers and ice machines. These twin and system configurations extends purification benefits to multiple applications for use as water requirements increase.
Most importantly, an everpure water filter system reduces contamination more effectively than conventional filtration systems, meaning you, as a customer, consume cleaner water. Thanks to its self-cleaning feature, the system protects water-using equipment even during the heaviest of use. Its design is programmed to initiate a cleaning at designated intervals so contamination is reduced even in the dirtiest of water conditions.It does this by backflushing with clean water and forward flushing to remove built-up particle contaminants. With traditional systems, material build up in an overused carbon filter can actually create a growth surface for certain bacteria.
With thousands of possible water contaminants out there, it’s more important than ever to ensure you and your family be aware of the quality of water you consume. While a home filtration system can protect you at home, it’s key to also be sure that the places you dine out have a proper system in place like the everpure water filter.

A new initiative was launched on 23rd September at the UN Climate Action Summit to help guide the world’s heaviest greenhouse gas emitting industries toward the low-carbon economy.
India and Sweden together with Argentina, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, South Korea and the UK, as well as a group of companies including Dalmia Cement, DSM, Heathrow Airport, LKAB, Mahindra Group, Royal Schiphol Group, Scania, SpiceJet, SSAB, ThyssenKrupp and Vattenfall, announced a new Leadership Group for Industry Transition that will drive transformation in hard-to-decarbonize and energy-intensive sectors.
This global initiative will be supported by the World Economic Forum, the Energy Transitions Commission, Mission Innovation, Stockholm Environment Institute, and the European Climate Foundation among many others in an ambitious, public-private effort, to ensure heavy industries and mobility companies can find a workable pathway to deliver on the Paris Agreement
In his statement Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi said that “each one of us has to discharge climate responsibilities based on our situations and capacities. I hope that work under the industry transition track will facilitate early diffusion of technology and support to developing countries in this journey”.
Addressing a press conference, Union Environment Minister, Shri Prakash Javadekar said that the last two days have seen major takeaways including the decision that heavy industries who are doing their bit on their own, without any external help, have decided to have a low carbon path.
In welcoming this new public-private partnership, Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum said: “There is a huge level of support and enthusiasm in the private sector to engage with governments and peers to reduce emissions across their operations and value chains.
Industry sector emissions, including those from hard-to-abate and energy-intensive sectors like steel, cement, aluminum, aviation and shipping are expected to be responsible for 15.7Gt by 2050. The international collaboration between countries and industry groups is critical to establish workable policy frameworks and incentives, and to enable joint investment into low carbon infrastructure.
About The Climate Action Summit
The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres hosted the Climate Action Summit in New York ahead of the UN General Assembly. The Secretary-General called on all leaders – governments, the private sector, civil society, local authorities and other international organizations – to come with concrete, realistic plans that will boost ambition and rapidly accelerate action to implement the Paris Agreement.
Having the key focus on raising ambition and accelerate action to implement the Paris Agreement, the Climate Action Summit focuses on nine interdependent tracks, which are led by 19 countries in total and are supported by international organizations.
It is noteworthy to point that India along with Sweden, supported by World Economic Forum is leading the ‘Industry Transition’ track meeting.

Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is the first international fraternal organization founded on the campus of a historically black college.
On the evening of November 17, 1911, Omega Psi Phi was founded inside the Science Building (later renamed Thirkield Hall) at Howard University located in Washington, D.C. The founders were three undergraduates — Edgar Amos Love, Oscar James Cooper and Frank Coleman. Joining them was their faculty adviser, Ernest Everett Just.
From the initials of the Greek phrase meaning, “friendship is essential to the soul“, the name Omega Psi Phi was derived. That phrase was selected as the motto.
Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift were adopted as Cardinal Principles.
On November 23, 1911, Edgar A. Love became the first Grand Basileus (National President). Oscar J. Cooper and Frank Coleman were selected to be the Grand Keeper of the Records (National Secretary) and Grand Keeper of Seals (National Treasurer), respectively. Eleven undergraduate men were selected to become the charter members.
Alpha chapter was organized with fourteen charter members on December 15, 1911. Brothers Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper and Frank Coleman were elected the chapter’s first Basileus, Keeper of Records, and Keeper of Seals, respectively.
Brother Cooper became the fraternity’s second Grand Basileus in 1912 and authorized the investigation of establishing a second chapter on the campus of Lincoln University located in Pennsylvania.
Brother Love was elected as the third Grand Basileus in 1912 and served until 1915. In 1912, Howard University officials did not initially recognize the fraternity as a national organization and Omega Psi Phi’s leadership refused to accept limited recognition. As a result, the fraternity operated without official sanction, until the university withdrew its opposition in 1914, the same year Beta chapter was chartered at Lincoln University.
Omega Psi Phi was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia on October 28, 1914. Brother George E. Hall, the fourth Grand Basileus, authorized the establishment of Gamma chapter in Boston.
Brother Clarence F. Holmes served as Omega’s sixth Grand Basileus. Under his leadership, the fraternity’s first official hymn, “Omega Men Draw Nigh,” was written by Otto Bohannon.
Omega played a vital role when the United States entered World War I in 1917 by having several brothers in the first class of black soldiers graduate from Camp Fort Des Moines, a military training facility located in Iowa. Several Omegas, including Campbell C. Johnson, John Purnell and founders Frank Coleman and Edgar A. Love are among its graduates.
A year later in 1918, retired Colonel Charles Young, rode 500 miles on horseback, from Wilberforce, Ohio, to the nation’s capital, to show he was always fit for duty.
Stanley Douglas served as editor to the first Oracle which was published in the spring of 1919.
In 1919, Raymond G. Robinson, the seventh Grand Basileus, established Delta chapter on the campus of Meharry Medical School which is located in Nashville, Tennessee.
Stanley Douglas served as Editor of the Oracle which was first published in the spring of 1919. When Robinson left office in 1920 there were ten chapters in operation.
Harold H. Thomas, the eighth Grand Basileus, was elected at the Nashville Grand Conclave in 1920.
During this Conclave, Carter G. Woodson inspired the establishment of National Achievement Week to promote the study of Negro life and history.
The Atlanta Grand Conclave in 1921 brought an end the fraternity’s first decade.
Omega built a strong and effective force of men dedicated to its cardinal principles of manhood, scholarship, perseverance, and uplift.

Model Success Story | Charlotte Foster
Charlotte first heard about The Photo Studio after having her sister doing a photo shoot with us a few years ago. Being quite young at that time, her mum decided now was finally the time for Charlotte to experience it for herself. Having always been passionate about becoming a model, Charlotte began building her modelling portfolio, opting for two looks: natural and simple, to more high-end and editorial.
After being signed with FiveTwenty, Charlotte returned to the studio to do a couple more editorial shots for her portfolio. Still keeping it natural and bright, she went for a pair of wide-leg trousers and see-through ankle boots to add the high-end fashion factor to the photos.

Hello my lovelies.
I’m super excited to release this post on my blog today!
Firstly, let me tell you that I’m busy right now, so posts have been a bit sparse if late.
A big part of my busyness is revamping the kitchen and utility room (more on that soon!)
But then along comes a gadget in your life that momentarily takes your focus away from your revamp . A gadget that is so simple yet makes such a big difference that you think, duhh, why on earth didn’t I search out one of these whizzy gadgets before. But it seems I’m not alone in this as I’ve already got friends and family rushing to buy this godsend of a gadget. And they’re loving it too.
This life changing gadget is this … tadahh!
It’s a mop.
But not just any old mop!
1. This one has an integrated refillable bottle that dispenses a mix of water and cleaning solution via a mophead..
(I’ve been clearing out my utility room and have found various bottles of floor cleaner (some unused) so there is a beauteous synergy in finding the mop at the exact same time I found my cleaning fluid bounty!)
2. It’s compact, light and easy to use and has an articulated mop head which allows you to get into the nooks and crannies of any room.
3. The kit comes with three velcro’ed pads which are dead easy to place on the gadget. and they are so easy to throw into the washing machine to keep clean.
So no costly and environmentally-unfriendly disposable mop pads.
4. And this is the biggie - it is manual (not electric). No faff with trailing cables and being restricted by socket positions.
Which means that you can whisk this baby out at the drop of a hat, swish it around any floor anywhere, then pop it back in its cupboard in the blink of an eye.
Keeping the kitchen floor clean and sparkly is now the work of moments!
Yes that last point is re the biggie for me. At the end of a cooking day it’s weirdly FUN to clean the kitchen floor. And using a good cleaning product that nourishes the floor at the same time is a double whammy. My wooden kitchen floor actually looks cared for now, as well as looking super clean.
You’ll be pleased to hear that I eventually calmed down from the excitement of this mop sent from heaven, and am getting back on track with my revamp project.
So on to cleaning products to add to the fluids bottle. I’m using this cleaning product (below) from my recently found stash. It was unopened 😞. Oops.
To buy, click the link here
But let’s get quickly back to this godsend of a mop.
Here’s the link
The price varies and is around the £20 mark - one friend bagged hers for £17 (about $22)
Finding my whizzy mop has revolutionized my cleaning routine. Now I just whip the filled spray mop off its hinge and clean the kitchen floor in just one minute. Just one minute. I can’t stress that enough!
And I find myself keen to mop my floor. Excited even!
So my floor is looking clean and nourished and as good as the day it was born (laid).
So please dear reader, I suggest you be kind to yourself - make your cleaning easier and quicker by treating yourself to one of these spray mops today.
Literally EVERY family member and friend I’ve introduced this to has bought one and is so very satisfied by (and excited with!) this product!
And as you are aware, my blog is not one that encourages wanton buying, but this little gadget is such a game changer that I thought I should share it’s magic with you.
A la perchoine,

Keller Williams is seeking to copy Redfin’s tech to beat the brokerage at its own game.
Keller Williams President Josh Team noted that the real estate industry is seeing an “arms race” — and the company is looking at Redfin because “they’re doing some really great things. The brokerage thinks it can “copy the technology of Redfin before Redfin can take the market share,” Inman reported.
Team compared the strategy to Google Plus, the social network once touted as a Facebook killer. Google had a good concept that Facebook was able to copy, he said.
Keller Williams has viewed tech-powered brokerages like Redfin as rivals. Last year, the company acquired a startup specifically to help building a strategy to challenge aggregator listing portals. The brokerage is also getting closer to releasing a consumer-facing app meant to challenge Zillow and Redfin.
Team also spoke about Kelle, the company’s artificial intelligence-powered virtual assistant, comparing it to Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa. Both features had to start out “going wide” because they “didn’t have anywhere to start.”
Compass CEO Robert Reffkin also praised Redfin’s tech, saying the portal has more inventory and faster alerts that most multiple listings services. But firms like Redfin have also splintered the real estate community, he said.
“I think companies like Redfin benefit from the fragmented nature of this industry,” Reffkin said.
Earlier this year, Compass tweaked its own listings website to display the name and contact information of each listing broker. The move was aimed at gaining the competition’s trust. [Inman] — Meenal Vamburkar

The debate between “Black Lives Matter” and “All Lives Matter” has made headlines in the media.
Black Lives Matters is a movement that originated in the African American community where activists campaign against violence toward African American people.
There has always been a race issue in America since before slavery in the 1800’s.
However, the “Black Lives Matters” movement did not begin until 2013 when the verdict of the Trayvon Martin trial was revealed.
People on social media started using the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter, when George Zimmerman was acquitted for the shooting and death of Trayvon Martin during that trial.
As time has progressed from the Trayvon Martin trial, the media has put a focus on several other cases where inequality and injustice has occurred in the African American community.
Some people think that the “Black Lives Matters” movement is unfair and creates more racism because it is singling out one group of people and that it should be called “All Lives Matters.”
“All Lives Matters” is a phrase that was created in response to the “Black Lives Matters” campaign.
Activists that support the “All Lives Matters” campaign believe that you should not focus on one group of people to solve problems of inequality and injustice in America.
By doing so, it makes those problems bigger issues.
On the Volunteer State Community College Campus, a couple of students were asked what they felt about “Black Lives Matter” versus “All Lives Matter.”
“I feel like ‘All Lives Matter’ is just a way to justify the inequality. ‘Black Lives Matter’ is not to make those lives seem more important, but to find that equality,” said Caleb Jones, a student at Vol State.
“What ‘Black Lives Matter’ means to me is people are trying to overcome what they have dealt with through the years,” said Leandrew Hayes, a student at Volstate.
After speaking with several different students, there were several different viewpoints on the issues concerning “Black Lives Matter” and “All Lives Matter.”

A meeting with the African Union, according to his Senegalese counterpart, Macky Sall, has been sought by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to Macky Sall.
When asked about a chat he had with Zelenskyy on the same day, Sall, who has served as head of the 55-member continental group since February, responded with a tweet on April 11.
Additionally, the two men discussed the economic effect of the Ukrainian conflict on the international economy, as well as “the need of boosting dialogue in order to seek a negotiated conclusion” in the conflict.
Many African countries have stayed neutral or restrained in their criticism of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine so far, because Moscow has long-standing relations with the continent that date back to the Cold War era.
Also, during the early stages of Russia’s blood-soaked incursion, fleeing African immigrants studying in Ukraine experienced cruel and racist treatment from members of the Ukrainian security apparatus.
Earlier this month, the United Nations General Assembly voted to exclude Russia from the United Nations Human Rights Council. There were nine African countries that voted against the resolution, and another 23 that abstained, accounting for more than half of the continent’s countries.

Choosing the Best Medical Services
August 14th, 2024 by alexadmin
Selecting the best medical service for your health is one of the most important choices to make. The reputation of the hospital, its cost, and the quality of services are only a few things to consider. It is essential that patients make informed decisions based on thorough research, suggestions, and their personal instincts.

How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Katy?
The cost of tree removal varies depending on the number of trees, the size of those trees, and how safe and easy they are to access. Katy homeowners spend about $584 on average for tree removal, though prices can vary from $223 to $927. Katy's trees are shorter than average, can result in more cost-effective tree removal services.
If you find sudden damage to a tree near your home, such as after a powerful storm, an accident, or any other major event, you will require emergency tree removal services if that tree poses an immediate threat. In Katy, the standard charge for emergency tree removal is $872.
Signs That a Tree Needs to Be Removed
Common signs that a tree requires removal include:
- Fungus or mold
- Rot , dead branches , missing bark or leaves , and other signs of decay
- Cracks in the trunk , especially deep cracks
- The trunk branches off in different directions into multiple large , heavy branches
- Cracking between branches , especially large heavy ones
When you see a tree leaning or detect raised dirt around the base, you should arrange an immediate evaluation, as it is at a greater risk of falling. In addition, if a tree is approaching your house or utility lines, you may need an assessment, as most communities and utility companies have regulations for how close trees can grow.
Do Tree Removal Companies Need to be Licensed in Texas?
Texas does not have specific licensing requirements for tree removal companies, but it’s important to check with your local municipal government to ensure your provider meets the requirements in your area. Select a reputable company that carries both workers compensation and liability insurance. You may feel more at ease entrusting your tree removal needs to a licensed general contractor. An individual can also become a licensed arborist through the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). While not required, this certification indicates that an individual is trained in all aspects of arboriculture and follows the ISA’s code of ethics. You can search for a licensed arborist or verify credentials on the ISA’s search tool. In Katy, stump removal costs about $181. Depending on the size of the stump and removal difficulty, this price can range from $206 to $333. Since not every tree removal company offers stump grinding or removal, ask about these services before agreeing to a contract. The cedar elm, green ash, and Chinese tallowtree trees are commonly found in Katy. The average height of a tree in the area is 26 feet, and the average tree is 50 years old. In many places you do need a permit to remove a tree, even when it's situated on your own property. Your local tree removal professional can help you identify local zoning regulations and can help with getting a permit. You can keep your trees healthy by regularly pruning overgrown or dead branches, parking heavy lawn equipment or vehicles away from the roots, and topping up the soil around the base if it starts to erode. If insects are ruining your trees, look into pest control services. Yes, you should be present during the tree removal process. Not only can you provide answers to questions your tree removal specialist may have, but you can also point out the specific trees that require removal and rest assured that the work will be completed correctly and safely. In cases where a tree is situated near your house, the tree removal specialist may request that everyone stay outside while the tree is being cut down. More often than not, you can keep the wood from trees that are cut down on your property, but ask your tree removal expert first. If you'd rather get rid of the wood, talk to your removal company to see if they provide those services, or reach out to your local waste management authority for help. Avoid leaving cut trees sitting in your yard and don't leave cut wood against your home — both can result in pest problems.Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Removal in Katy, TX

“I don’t understand the moral standards of those who ordered these statements to be written and distributed,” Adelman said in a letter announcing his resignation, adding, “The war is a indiscriminate massacre of Jews by the terrorist group Hamas.”
Adelman appears to point out that the Tottenham statement did not clarify who was responsible for the brutal violence. It seems to have demanded that the expression “Hamas’ invasion and atrocity” be specified. It is also argued that Adelman was so angry because he was also Jewish. 바카라사이트
Adelman said, “It was an honor to serve as the president of the Professional Protection Association for Player Responsibility (which ensures professional stability for retired athletes). “I’m happy that retired players could help when they needed it,” he reportedly finished his resignation.
Adelman also expressed disappointment with the FA as the English Football Association (FA) responded lukewarmly to the war, along with Tottenham’s “sloppy” statement. Adelman said, “FA was an organization I thought it would be, so I didn’t think much about it, but I thought Tottenham would be better,” and expressed his betrayal and disappointment toward Tottenham, saying, “Tottenham not only has Israeli players (Manor Solomon) but also has expressed solidarity and support with Ukraine.”

Travel Weekly was front and centre for the first keynote session today at the 2018 Global Tourism Summit in Hawaii, and Google’s Susie Vowinkel didn’t disappoint.
The tech giant’s head of travel and director of global partnerships started off her talk in the cleverest of ways, saying she had a special relationship with Alexa.
It turns out Vowinkel was referring to her seven-year-old daughter – not Amazon’s assistant.
She went on to define assistance in this day and age as not just being about smart speaker devices or voice search, but about helping people get things done.
“It’s giving people the right things at the right moment that are going to help them through their journey. I think this is particularly important in travel,” Vowinkel told summit attendees.
Google’s travel guru identified three key consumer behaviours that travel organisations and agents need to fully understand in order to succeed in the ‘Age of Assistance’.
The first key trait of consumers, according to Vowinkel, is that they are more curious than ever.
“They are searching for so many new things, and want you to anticipate what it is they’re curious about and their needs,” she said.
Vowinkel urged the audience to focus on getting the right information in front of travellers quickly and being assistive throughout the journey to answer their curiosity.
The second key behaviour of consumers: they’re demanding. Vowinkel said that over 64 per cent of consumers expect that they will see content specific to them and their needs.
Her advice? Customise content for different groups of travellers, identify consumer needs and provide relevant recommendations.
Google’s travel boss identified impatience as the third key trait of consumers, challenging summit attendees to be the leader in travel and site speed (Google recommends companies’ site speed to be sitting at an average of three seconds).
Vowinkel also noted the importance of travel organisations knowing how their mobile site stacks up (Google offers a mobile scorecard and impact calculator to work this out).
In closing, Vowinkel admitted that while the rise of technology such as robots and artificial intelligence is a little intimidating, nothing can replace the actual human experience and interaction when it comes to travel.
“I don’t think we can replace that with videos, and we’re always going to be wanting to experience destinations live,” she said.
“[Technology] is to complement the human experience.”

In the hills of central Benin, the dry season is getting tougher every year. The Fulani herders living there have to travel further and further, in ever-larger groups in order to be able to provide for their cattle herds. Boubé, a young man in his 30s who comes from a long line of Fulani herders accustomed to migratory herding, knows that with each season that passes, tensions between local farmers and nomadic herders run increasingly high. After all, water shortages caused global warming are also impacting farmers. They’re reluctant to share their water sources with the Fulani herdsmen. But this year, Boubé doesn't want to stand idly by and aims to mediate between the parties. He’s well aware that the conflict between herders and farmers over the division of land and water could escalate.

Moving can be stressful, especially when you have to pack fragile items like glassware. But don’t worry! With the right tools and careful steps, you can make sure your glassware stays safe during your move. This guide from TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® will walk you through how to pack glassware so you can feel confident on moving day.
What You Need
Get sturdy boxes in different sizes. Dish pack boxes are especially strong and designed for fragile items. You can find boxes that TWO MEN AND A TRUCK offers here
- Dish pack inserts
These are special layers inside boxes that hold fragile items securely.
- Packing paper
This is used to wrap each piece of glassware.
- Bubble wrap
Provides extra padding and protection.
- Packing tape
To seal your boxes.
For labeling your boxes so you know what’s inside.
- Prepare the box
First, choose a box that’s the right size for your glassware. Dish pack boxes are the best choice because they’re made for fragile items. If you don’t have a dish pack, you can use a regular box, but you’ll need to make it extra strong.
To do this, reinforce the bottom of the box with a few layers of packing tape. Then, place a layer of crumpled packing paper or bubble wrap at the bottom. This will act as a cushion for your glassware. It’s important to use a smaller box rather than a large one, as this helps prevent the glass from moving around during the move.
- Wrap each item
Now, it’s time to wrap your glassware. Lay a flat sheet of packing paper on a table or countertop. Place the glassware at one corner of the paper and start rolling it up. As you roll, tuck the ends of the paper into the openings of the glass. This helps keep the glass safe.
For extra fragile items, like wine glasses, you can add a second layer of packing paper or even bubble wrap for more protection. If you’re using a dish pack insert, place the wrapped glassware into the insert slots to keep them secure.
- Pack the box
After wrapping each piece, carefully place the glassware into the box. Start by putting the heaviest items at the bottom. Then, layer the lighter items on top. This helps keep the lighter, more fragile pieces from being crushed.
Fill any empty spaces in the box with crumpled packing paper or bubble wrap. This will prevent the glassware from shifting during the move. The goal is to keep everything snug and secure so nothing moves around in the box.
- Seal and label the box
Once all your glassware is packed, it’s time to seal the box. Close the flaps and secure them with packing tape so the box doesn’t accidentally open during the move.
Next, use your marker to label the box. Write “Fragile - Glassware” on the top and sides. Also, mark which side of the box should face up. This will help ensure that whoever handles the box knows to be careful.
- Loading the boxes
When you’re loading the boxes onto the moving truck, make sure to place them in secure spots where they won’t shift around. It’s best to put fragile boxes on top of heavier items, not underneath them. Even if you’ve packed your glassware well, heavy boxes could still cause damage if they’re placed on top.
If your glassware is very valuable or important to you, consider transporting it in your car. This way, you have more control over how it’s handled and can ensure it stays safe.
And that’s it! By following these steps, you can pack your glassware securely and be ready for your move. Remember, the key to packing fragile items like glassware is to take your time and be careful. With a little patience and attention to detail, your glassware will arrive at your new home safe and sound. Happy moving!

In today’s dynamic business environment, companies face the constant challenge of staying agile and competitive. One strategy that has gained prominence is outsourcing services. When does it make sense to outsource, and what factors should businesses consider when making this crucial decision? Furthermore, how can organizations effectively manage outsourced services alongside their in-house technology? Let’s explore these questions to provide a comprehensive guide for businesses contemplating outsourcing.
When Does it Make Sense to Outsource?
Outsourcing becomes a strategic move under various circumstances. Here are key scenarios where it often makes sense:
- Resource and Skill Gaps:
- When faced with tasks requiring specialized skills not readily available in-house, outsourcing becomes a viable solution. External experts can bridge the resource gap and bring a new perspective to complex projects.
- Similarly, staff augmentation is beneficial when you need to enhance your team’s capabilities for a specific project without committing to permanent hires.
- Cost Efficiency:
- Outsourcing often makes sense when cost efficiency is a priority. External providers can offer economies of scale, reducing operational costs compared to maintaining a large in-house team.
- Staff augmentation allows companies to scale their workforce up or down based on project demands, providing cost flexibility.
- Focus on Core Competencies:
- By outsourcing non-core functions, businesses can focus on their core competencies, improving overall efficiency and competitiveness.
- Augmenting staff for specific tasks ensures that your core team can concentrate on what they do best, while external experts handle specialized work.
- Project Complexity and Time Sensitivity:
- Complex projects with tight deadlines benefit from outsourcing, as external teams can contribute additional resources and expertise.
- When timelines are critical, augmenting staff allows for quick access to skilled professionals, accelerating project completion.
How to Manage Outsourced Services with In-House Technology
Effective management is crucial for the success of outsourced services working in tandem with in-house technology:
- Clear Communication Channels: Establish transparent communication channels between in-house teams and external vendors. ProLink’s secure collaboration platform, Procorem, offers a number of tools to keep teams informed and regularly updated.
- Collaborative Tools: Explore possibilities with your technology provider to streamline data collection and information sharing from outsourced service providers. The ProLinkHFA software suite, which includes Procorem, offers data collection tools to automate the collection and sharing of data.
- Defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Establish clear KPIs to measure the performance of both in-house and outsourced teams. This ensures accountability and enables continuous improvement. ProLinkHFA offers numerous reporting tools to keep internal and external contributors aligned and accountable using real-time data.
- Data Security Protocols: Implement robust data security protocols to safeguard sensitive information, especially when working with external partners. For example, Procorem uses the HTTPS protocol secured with the latest TLS encryption methods. We also encourage our customers to take advantage of our SSO (single sign-on) capabilities.
- Cultural Sensitivity: Recognize and address potential cultural differences to foster a collaborative and inclusive working environment.
The Impact of a Unified System
A unified system ensures seamless collaboration, consistent communication, and streamlined processes. It enhances transparency, efficiency, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. A well-integrated system that combines in-house technology with outsourced services and staff augmentation can amplify productivity and innovation, providing a competitive edge in the ever-evolving business landscape.
In conclusion, the decision to outsource and leverage staff augmentation should be rooted in a thoughtful evaluation of your business needs and goals. By carefully considering the outlined factors and implementing effective management practices, businesses can not only navigate the complexities of outsourcing but also unlock the full potential of a unified system that brings diverse talents together for collective success.

Toy company Lego has introduced a tongue-in-cheek ‘competitor’ to Tesla’s James Bond-like Cybertruck vehicle with its very own indestructible pickup truck made from their trademark 2 x 4 bricks.
In a tweet Lego announced the truck is “guaranteed shatterproof” - a cheeky reference to Tesla’s now-infamous Cybertruck debut.
During a presentation in Los Angeles attended by Tesla CEO Elon Musk last week, the $39,000 car’s “armor glass” windows instantly smashed when struck by a small metal ball.
The stunt was designed to show off the in
destructible design of the the all-electric, battery-powered pickup truck, but has now gone viral.
The evolution of the truck is here. Guaranteed shatterproof 😬 pic.twitter.com/RocTEkzzwI
— LEGO (@LEGO_Group) November 27, 2019
After the first window shattered, Musk swore loudly and then claimed the metal ball had been thrown ‘a little too hard’ - seconds before another window was smashed.
Although Lego didn’t offer up any spoof video of its truck similarly falling short of expectations, one person hilariously re-edited the photo of the brick with shattered windows, and tagged Tesla’s chief designer Franz von Holzhausen.
Other comments highlighted how Lego bricks are non-breakable and painful when walked on, with one person likening the experience to a “Danish landmine”.
— Jay Pase (@J_M_0_N) November 27, 2019

Of course, the Cybertruck’s boxy shape lends itself to a Lego version.
The famous Lego car builder Peter Blackert recreated it and posted photos to his Flickr account.
He is allegedly a Ford engineer, and taking inspiration from Elon Musk’s SpaceX connection and proposal to send a Cybertruck to Mars one day, Blackert even created a second version with iconic Lego Space bricks.
At the time of writing, Lego’s troll Twitter post has almost 80,000 likes and has been shared over 20,000 times.
Despite the electric vehicle company’s PR disaster, Musk believes that Tesla has already received over 200,000 orders.
The Cybertruck is thought to have a range of 500 miles on a single charge and is on sale for $39,000.

Months after acknowledging she’d used Ozempic for weight loss, Sharon Osbourne fears she’s become “too gaunt.”
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the television personality and wife of rock singer Ozzy Osbourne confirmed she now weighs less than 100 pounds, noting: “I can’t afford to lose any more.”
“I’m too gaunt and I can’t put any weight on,” Osbourne told the publication in an interview published last week. “I want to, because I feel I’m too skinny. I’m under 100 pounds and I don’t want to be. Be careful what you wish for.’
She went on to note that she began using Ozempic in December of last year, and although she hadn’t used the injectable drug “for a while now,” she remains unable to gain back any of the weight she’s lost.
“My warning is don’t give it to teenagers, it’s just too easy,” she said. “You can lose so much weight and it’s easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous. I couldn’t stop losing weight and now I’ve lost 42 pounds and I can’t afford to lose any more.”
Sharon Osbourne is speaking out about her experience using Ozempic, an injectable drug typically used as a diabetes treatment, for weight loss.
Ozempic has traditionally been used as a diabetes treatment that manages blood sugar levels. For much of the past year, however, the drug has become a hot topic in Hollywood after Chelsea Handler, Amy Schumer and other stars have gone public about using it as an appetite suppressant to slim down.
Its skyrocketing popularity among those who are looking to shed weight has reportedly led to a global shortage, meaning that many patients with Type 2 diabetes are unable to access it. Medical professionals have also been quick to emphasize the drug’s unpleasant side effects, including nausea.
Osbourne first addressed her use of Ozempic in September, telling E! News: “It’s not a dirty little secret when you’ve taken something to help you lose weight, which is perfectly fine. We don’t have to bullshit.”
Later that month, however, she took a more cautious approach during a televised interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” which drew a flurry of discourse over her noticeably slender appearance.
“I didn’t actually want to go this thin, but it just happened,” she said at the time.
Osbourne continued to dismiss that criticism in her Daily Mail interview, noting: “I’ve never really cared what people say about the way I look because I know I’ve paid a fortune to try and look attractive.”
“I was never a beauty,” she added. “I was never blessed that way.”

- Postassessment (prioritizing needs, understanding their causes, and translating priorities into action plans for organizations).
The model has been extensively re-conceptualized and forms the basis for this book. The content includes a user-oriented approach to a comprehensive overview of the three phases and the 14 key steps necessary to implement them.
Numerous examples and practical illustrations are given throughout the text as guidance for needs assessors and those who do research on the topic. An extensive glossary of needs-related terms and an outline of a final report are also provided. The book is the first one in the Needs Assessment KIT with connections to the other four.

Our cloud-based monitoring solutions are the ultimate tool when it comes to keeping watch over your business. From individual servers to real-time video surveillance, we give you the insight you need.
Advanced Monitoring for Servers & Desktops
The typical Windows desktop generates a constant flow of event logs, while an active server can generate an overwhelming stream of them. We all know they contain incredibly important data about the operation of our systems, but who has the time to watch them? And setting up a dedicated log server costs money and time, and somebody still has to constantly monitor it.
We know, because our 24×7 Network Operations Center monitors thousands of systems across hundreds of locations. Now, the same tools and staff we use for our cloud are available to watch your systems through our Vigilant Monitoring Service. It’s unparalleled
for all your critical systems.
24×7 Temperature & Humidity Monitoring
As a restaurant owner, florist, bar manager, or grocer, your biggest worry before you drift off to sleep is probably whether someone left a freezer or chiller open again. Will you wake up to destroyed product, having to alter the day’s offerings, and try to make up for lost profits again this month? There’s a much better way,
and it involves using our cloud-connected Wired or Wireless temperature and humidity sensors, backed by the power of our 24×7 Network Operations Center. There’s no setup fees at all, no contracts to sign, and you get to choose the temperature set points. When one of the sensors detects a unit out of range, you and your designated staff are alerted instantly via text or e-mail.
Cloud Video Monitoring Lets You Keep Watch From Anywhere
Imagine this: you set up a brand new web cam in your office, install the vendor’s software on your desktop computer, and then go home for the night. When a thief breaks in, the first things they focus on are the high-value items,
and your desktop computer will be right at the top of their list. Along with it goes your video records, and you’ll never get an alert on your app, because the PC is unplugged, and in the back of their car. But if you have our Cloud Video Monitoring, there’s no system to steal, and not only can you check in from an app on your smartphone, you can set up automatic alerts that come from the cloud, and will work even if everything in your office is stolen.

Vegan Matcha Tiramisu is a twist on the classic Italian dessert with its fresh and bright Japanese matcha flavor. It's rich, creamy and full of flavors from the vegan whipping cream and matcha-infused cookies.
This easy recipe can be prepared in just 30 minutes, with no oven required.
While I loved the classic coffee kick of my last Vegan Tiramisu, some days call for a different kind of pick-me-up. That's when I discovered matcha as a prominent alternative for caffeinated source.
This vibrant green tea powder adds a new dimension to the dessert by creating a unique flavor – some fresh notes combined with an earthy depth. Matcha is often associated with peace and mindfulness, as it is used in Japanese tea ceremonies. When enjoying this dessert, it can feel like you are walking through a 'zen' Japanese garden, far from the hustle and bustle.
If you’re longing for a traditional flavor, be sure to explore my Vegan Tiramisu recipe!
To make this recipe, you'll need:
- Biscoff Cookies: These are a flavorful alternative to traditional ladyfingers. Their caramelized taste will add a unique twist to the tiramisu.
- Matcha Tea (from Matcha Powder): Used to infuse the cookies with matcha flavor, giving them a distinctive green tea essence.
- Nature’s Charm Oat Whipping Cream: A vegan alternative to traditional whipping cream, made from oats. Refrigerating it overnight helps it whip better.
- Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the cream while keeping it light and fluffy.
- Matcha Powder: Adds the signature matcha flavor to the cream.
- Matcha Powder: A light dusting on top for an extra pop of matcha flavor and a classic finish.
- Strawberry: Adds a fresh, sweet, and slightly tart contrast to the rich and creamy dessert.
See recipe card for quantities.
Add boiling water to matcha powder and whisk until a light foam forms on the surface. This will be the matcha tea used to add to the cookies.
To make the vegan cream layer:
- Scoop out the solidified cream from the top of your oat whipping cream that has been refridgerated overnight.
- Combine oat cream with powdered sugar and matcha and whip with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble:
Briefly submerge Biscoff cookies in prepared matcha tea.
Arrange matcha-infused cookies at the bottom of your chosen container. Layer whipped matcha oat cream over the cookies. Alternate layers until all components are used, finishing with a cream layer on top.
Refrigerate the tiramisu to set (a few hours or overnight). Just before serving, dust the top with matcha powder and garnish with fresh strawberries.
Arrange matcha-infused cookies at the bottom of your chosen container
Layer whipped matcha oat cream over the cookies.
Alternate layers until all components are used.
Refrigerate the tiramisu to set.
You can use either full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream instead of the oat whipping cream. They will get fluffy and airy due to high fat content. Just remember to refrigerate the can overnight beforehand and only scoop out the cream.
- Blender: For a smooth tofu mixture.
- Matcha sifter: To evenly distribute matcha powder.
- Baking tray or Glass container: Ideal for creating those classic tiramisu layers.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s not freezer-friendly as it may affect the texture.
- Ensure your matcha tea is cooled before dipping and briefly dipping the cookies in the matcha to prevent soggy ladyfingers.
- Chill the oat whipping cream for several hours or overnight prior to preparation.
If you don’t have a matcha sifter, you can use a fine-mesh sieve or a small handheld strainer as an alternative. The goal is to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth consistency for your matcha powder.

About Stephanie Phillips:
Stephanie was born on the east coast and grew up on the west coast. She lived in a small southern Oregon town out in the country. Her family grew pretty much everything they ate. They canned vegetables and fruit from their garden and orchard in the summers that lasted all year long. They traveled a small dirt road for two miles to get to their house and had only four neighbors. Growing up in a small town has its benefits, but when Stephanie was beginning 7th grade her family moved to the Bay Area in California. There she learned about city life. She graduated high school at 17 and headed south to Santa Barbara for college. Once in college, Stephanie had a part-time job working for a real estate developer who bought land in Las Vegas for which they planned for homes to be built. Stephanie volunteered to go to Las Vegas for six months once she graduated to manage the office and assist in preparing this land for development.
Once in Las Vegas, Stephanie learned extensively about real estate and loved it. She ended up staying, obtained her real estate license at 25, and a few years later she earned her broker’s license. At the age of 32, while raising two small children, she opened her brokerage; Cambridge Realty. Thirty+ years in this city have gone by so quickly. She has watched Las Vegas expand and has raised her family here. Her children are now grown and she finds herself in a place where she can focus all her efforts on serving the People of Nevada.
Stephanie truly has a ‘servant’s heart’. She loves caring for and supporting abused, neglected, and hungry children. For decades, not only has Stephanie financially supported many charities, but she has volunteered her time to support children’s organizations and has also served, in many ways, the homeless in our community. Stephanie has always known one day she would have her non-profit organization geared to support, feed, house, and rehabilitate trafficked kids, run-away teens, pregnant teens, our homeless Veterans, and anyone in need of basic human necessities. She envisions spending her retirement years running her non-profit and serving the less fortunate. Last year, Stephanie put her dream into action and was able to launch her non-profit called “Den Mothers”. Even though she can’t devote a lot of her time to this right now, she is dedicated to supporting as many as she can along her journey until such time she can devote full time to this mission.
At this time, Stephanie is being called to politics and is willing and able to serve the State of Nevada in this capacity. She is very well qualified to be your next United States Senator and if the people so elect her, Nevada WOULD make history by electing its first female Republican Senator. Her career has prepared her for this. She has represented, negotiated for, advocated for, fought for, listened to, acted as a mediator and so much more for her clients. As an elected official, Stephanie would be doing for her constituents all these things she’s done her entire career and much more. She is up for the challenge and is ready to go to D.C. to represent Nevada.

0817z 47/11S 53/43E, south east of Isles Crozet. Distance covered in last 24 hours: 186.3 nautical miles. The wind is down from its hear hurricane strength last night, and the leftover sea is big and messy, and the boat is bouncing off waves in every direction, very unpleasant. We had steady 55/57 knots with periods in 60s also. The storm jib did good work, keeping us on a beam reach to get past the lee shore of isles Crozet. When we started down that south side, it was a nice broad reach, and it looked as if we’d be able to get past before the wind changed, but no….
It was very cold. The inside of the cabin is like a lake with the condensation dripping everywhere. When the wind finally started to reduce, It took several naps. The last one, I was thrown out of the bunk, but high enough so that I didn’t come through the opening in the bulkhead, but in fact fetched up on the bulkhead with my head, cushioned by my ear. It hurts.
Later, when the sun came up, and we got the staysail and 3rd reef back up to get moving again, I had some granola and milk, and sat in the beanbag. I felt like falling asleep there, but reminded myself it would be a big mess if I did, so I didn’t–all the way up until I did, and spilled the granola all over the beanbag, the floor, and me.
I was using the watch alarm on the radar through the first part of the storm, until on a check up forward, I noticed that with 55 knots of wind, the hinged radar dome simply blows 90 degrees to leeward, so that it would not be scanning the horizon, but a vertical slice of the sky. I turned off the radar and went with the Activ Echo. When putting up the staysail in the morning, I saw that the port side titanium support rail near the mast had been broken at a weld. The reacher and genaker halyards were tied there, and the swaying of the two halyards in the violence of the storm had broken the titanium weld.
I’m stunned and saddened by the misfortune of Bernard Stamm, a fantastic ocean sailor, and very friendly and kind. Hopefully Cheminees can be salvaged to sail again.

Kamchatka animals by Sergey Gorshkov
Russian professional wildlife photographer Sergey Gorshkov has been taking pictures of wild nature for many years. Sergey says, «My camera is a connecting link between me and wildlife. Through the lens of the camera I can see things, take pictures and try to reproduce beauty of the wild nature, a piece of what I have seen and I have felt being there. It is in their escaping world which is disappearing, little by little from the face of the earth». Kamchatka is Sergey’s favorite place of shooting. According to the photographer, the wild nature of Kamchatka is so fascinating and amazing that many years of work have gone as one day.

Let’s advanced AI
with Synthetic Data!
Synthetic data refers to data generated in a digital environment rather than collected in the physical environment. By constructing a situation or environment that cannot exist in reality, it is possible to mass produce new data from various domains. The value of synthetic data is becoming higher because it contributes to the enhancement of accuracy in the training of AI models and enables the development of Advanced AI with less amount of real data.
Why IS synthetic data IMPORTANT?
- Enhancing AI performance
- Privacy issues that need to be addressed ethically
- Identify and eliminate data imbalances and biases
- Create sparse data
- Collect large amounts of training data
- Reduce training time for AI processes

Measurement of subcooled flow boiling using Particle Tracking Velocimetry and infrared thermographic technique
- Additional Document Info
- View All
Time resolved Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) experiments were carried out to investigate turbulent, subcooled flow boiling through a vertical rectangular channel with a heated wall. Measurements of heated wall temperature using infrared camera were acquired. Simultaneous measurements of liquid and vapor bubbles velocity were measured using PTV. In addition, the dynamic of the bubbles were studied using Shadowgraphy technique. Turbulence statistics are inferred from PTV full-field velocity measurements. Quantities such as: instantaneous 2D velocity fields, time-averaged axial and normal velocities, axial and normal turbulence intensities, and Reynolds stresses are obtained. The present results provide new information due to the full-field nature of the technique. This work is an attempt to provide turbulent subcooled boiling flow data for validation and improvement of two phase flow computational models. 2013 Elsevier B.V.

I am being asked more and more often about naming ceremonies and what they consist of, so I thought a blog answering that question might be in order.
Why a Naming ceremony?
A few common reasons for arranging a civil ceremony are:
- Religious elements are wanted, but the couple are mixed-faith
- The couple want to mark the rite of passage, but preferably not (or barely) religiously
- A couple are marrying, and bringing a child or children into the relationship. They want to formally symbolise their integration into one family.
What does a Naming ceremony consist of?
Because I specialise in bespoke ceremonies, I can’t give a one-size-suits-all answer. As we have already seen, these ceremonies may be religious or secular, and can be held indoors or out. Thus rituals will be more or less appropriate depending on the circumstances and tone.
Naming ceremonies tend to be more relaxed (although some of the content may be quite serious), and there’s usually a greater element of participation than with many other ceremonies.
Here, the parents may want to take an active role. They may choose and read poems (of course, the celebrant can help them with choices). They may also read out promises to the child. Again, they write these themselves or use a bit of help.
Godparents and/or grandparents may be invited to play a role. They may read a text about what it means to be a god/grandparent, for example.
As well as music, which is another option to be considered, you could include some rituals. Unity candle lighting is deservedly popular. This doesn’t always work outdoors (for obvious reasons!), and health and safety does have to be taken into account inside! But it’s especially good if two families (with children) are combining.
Another possibility for a baby, is to sprinkle her with rose petals (different colours representing desired qualities). Again, this invites participation.
The ceremony might end with a communal blessing and a baby-specific blessing (not necessarily religious).
I hope this gives a flavour of the “typical” ceremony, and will whet a few appetites! I’ll be very happy to help out, if you want to know more.

The direction from which a player receives an attack will effect the amount of damage it does. This means there is a clear numeric advantage for players who manage to position themselves behind their opponents. This can either be achieve through unexpected or rapid movement, or through multiple allies (a surrounded target can only ever face one opponent, exposing their vulnerable sides to others).
- If the target is facing towards their attacker, there will be no bonus damage due to the attacker's position.
- Side attacks: If the target is struck at their side, there will be an extra +5% damage due to the attacker's position.
- Rear attacks: If the target is facing away from their attacker, there will be an extra +10% damage due to the attacker's position.
Area of Effect effects do not gain the bonuses from a target's Orientation.
- Sets, such as the Tofu Set, also contribute to inflicting higher rear damage.
Class | Spell | Effect | |
Sram | Penetrating Blow | +Damage to Rear | |
Art of the Spank | +Damage for Rear Attacks |

Colleen C. on Mt Sproatt:
“An intrepid crew of five joined me in an exploratory trip up Mt Sproatt. All of them not merely undeterred by my warnings of cloudy weather, deep snow and tough trailbreaking, but full on embracing it!
Knowing the challenging day ahead, we were well prepared with colourful toques, thermoses of tea, layers galore, headlamps with fresh batteries, GPS, maps, compasses, walkie talkies, avy gear and cookies. Due to the heavy snow conditions and limited daylight hours, we didn’t make the summit but we gave it a good shot and enjoyed a full day in winter paradise. Given the slow slog that is breaking trail uphill, it was about 5 hours up and less than an hour down.
I asked everyone for a memorable moment from the day:
Colleen: Take nearly two metres of pristine fresh powdery snow. Add one snowshoer who’s determined to move through it by any means possible. Result, invention of new sport, snow swimming!
Estafan: The highlight of the day was when my foot decided to go down a hole in the snow above a small creek. I thought it fell into the creek but it didn’t. I’ve got to hand it to Fred the Energizer Bunny for pulling me out of that rabbit hole with such ease!
Darcy: The trees were draped in snow like a village of ghosts. It was challenging but rewarding to climb up steep slopes of snow, wading through waist deep whiteness.
Stephen: The best part was listening to skiers on Whistler Blackcomb narrate their super-exciting day on the slopes over the walkie talkie. My attempt to spice things up with a turkey joke didn’t get any response though. Tough crowd.
Chris: My favourite part on steep snowshoe trips is always coming down. And there were some great drop-offs on this trip to ski over. I probably broke my snowshoe foot plate on one of those descents. You can get replacement bindings at MEC but they don’t stock them – you have to order them. Hopefully, I will get my replacement in time for my holidays!
I didn’t get a quote from Fred, but I know the rest of us won’t forget pushing his car halfway up a looong hill!
Thanks everyone for contributing to a fun trip. Special thanks to drivers Fred and Chris.”

The X-15 was a North American-made hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft developed in the 1950s by the United States Air Force and NASA. Here are ten facts about the X-15:
1. First manned aircraft to reach hypersonic speeds
It was the first manned aircraft to reach hypersonic speeds, with a top speed of up to Mach 6.7. The X-15 achieved stability at hypersonic speeds by using side panels that extended from the tail to increase the overall surface area.
2. Designed to be drop-launched
Like several of the X-series aircraft, the X-15 was launched from a B-52 bomber, which carried the aircraft before releasing it at an altitude of about 45,000 ft and a speed of 500 mph. The X-15 would then ignite its rocket engine and climb to its maximum altitude and speed.
3. Helped pilots qualify as astronauts
Thirteen flights flown by eight pilots met the Air Force’s spaceflight criterion by exceeding 260,000 ft of altitude, enabling the pilots to qualify for astronaut status. Only two of these flights, piloted by Joseph Walker, exceed the Karman Line. The two civilian pilots were awarded NASA astronaut wings in 2005, while the Air Force pilots earned their wings immediately.
4. Set a lot of records
X-15s set numerous speed and altitude records during its flight program. Pilot Joe Walker reached the highest altitude of 354,200 feet in 1963. Meanwhile, William “Pete” Knight recorded the fastest X-15 flight on October 3, 1967, on Flight 188, where he achieved a top speed of Mach 6.70.
5. Experimental hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft
The X-15 was designed to test the limits of crewed flight and gather data on hypersonic flight, high-altitude flight, and re-entry. One of its many contributions was providing essential data that helped the development of technologies used in the Space Shuttle program.
6. Powered by a rocket engine
Early flights done by the X-15 used two Reaction Motors XLR11 engines. Later on, the X-15 would be fitted with a single XLR-99 rocket engine, which burned a mixture of liquid oxygen and anhydrous ammonia as the propellant. The engine produced up to 57,000 pounds of thrust and burned 15,000 lbs of fuel in just 80 seconds.
7. Flown by Neil Armstrong
Only twelve pilots flew the X-15 during its entire flight program. One of its pilots was Neil Armstrong, the well-decorated astronaut and the first man to walk on the moon. He flew the X-15 a total of seven times between 1960 and 1962.
8. It did not have the usual landing gear
The X-15 didn’t have traditional landing gears and instead landed on skids, which caused it to skid along the ground until it came to a stop. Furthermore, the skids didn’t extend beyond their ventral fins, forcing the pilot to jettison the fin before landing.
9. Completed almost 200 flights
The test program ran from 1959 to 1968 and completed 199 flights. North American produced three X-15 planes: the first one completed 81 free flights, the second 53 flights, and the last flew 65 times. Two modified B-52 bombers were also used to deploy them – “The High and Mighty One” and “The Challenger.”
10. It cost a lot of money
In total, the X-15 program cost $300 million or $2.2 billion in today’s currency. Though “pricey,” the program was considered a significant achievement in aviation history. Its legacy includes helping the development of advanced materials, propulsion systems, and flight control technologies that have been used in subsequent aircraft and spacecraft programs.

Today, we're excited to announce the launch of Chiado, Warden Protocol’s newest testnet!
Building on the remarkable success of our Buenavista testnet—which saw nearly 1 million weekly transactions and over 1 million wallets—Chiado introduces a suite of groundbreaking features that further cement Warden's position as the convergence stack for blockchain & AI. This latest development marks a significant leap towards our highly anticipated mainnet release.
Chiado represents a crucial milestone in our journey towards mainnet launch. This new testnet demonstrates our commitment to building a robust, feature-rich ecosystem that empowers developers to create better, stronger and faster AI applications. By incorporating advanced features like full omnichain interoperability, intents, keychains, and enshrined oracles, we're redefining what’s possible at the convergence of AI and blockchain.
Chiado also brings EVM compatibility to WARD, allowing users to connect with MetaMask, OKX wallet, Coinbase wallet, and other leading EVM wallets. This means users can achieve seamless integration between Warden Protocol and the broader DeFi space, which is primarily driven by ERC-20 tokens.
Here’s what you can expect from Chiado as we pave the way for the next evolution of AI and blockchain convergence:
Dual VM Architecture: Chiado now supports EVM Solidity contracts alongside CosmWasm, greatly expanding the possibilities for developers on the protocol. This dual VM architecture makes it easier to integrate AI inferences with smart contracts, and users can now connect directly with EVM wallets—broadening both developer utility and end usability. WARD will also become a wrapped EVM gas token, which will allow for better support and adoption on mainnet.
Consensus AI Readiness: By laying the groundwork for AI integration at the consensus level, Chiado makes it possible for AIBI’s AI-based inferences and decisions to be directly incorporated into the blockchain's execution layer. This capability positions Warden as the convergence stack for blockchain and AI.
Mainnet Asset Support Readiness: Warden has also made significant strides in preparing Chiado for diverse mainnet assets integration (instead of testnet assets). This ensures that as we transition to mainnet, developers will have a smooth experience bringing their projects from test environments into live deployments.
Enshrined Price Feed Oracles: Chiado introduces consensus-validated price feed oracles to Warden, ensuring reliable, accurate data essential to a vast range of DeFi applications. This feature reinforces our commitment to creating a dependable infrastructure that supports complex, data-driven applications within DeFi and beyond.
Enhanced SpaceWard Experience: Chiado introduces significant upgrades to SpaceWard, Warden's flagship omnichain application. With a host of new features and a sleek, user-friendly interface, as well as including EVM wallet support, these improvements showcase the mass appeal potential of omnichain applications built on Warden.
As we continue to refine and expand the capabilities of the Warden Protocol, the launch of Chiado is a call to action for developers, validators, and blockchain enthusiasts to collectively push the boundaries of what's possible.
We invite you to explore the capabilities of Chiado and find new ways to leverage Warden’s rapidly evolving features. Ultimately, your participation and feedback are invaluable as we work towards delivering a groundbreaking mainnet that will revolutionise how AI and blockchain interact.
