The Surprising Way You Should Be Cooking Your Steak Isn't on a Grill
If you're looking for a way to cook the perfect steak without having to go through the trouble of firing up the grill in the backyard, the reverse sear may be your new go-to method. We called on Josh Tanner, the chef and director of online butcher shop New York Prime Beef, for the lowdown on the best way to cook a steak that doesn't involve a grill.
What is the best way you should cook your steak?
We have heard the reverse sear is an unrivaled way to cook the perfect steak, and Tanner, a steak connoisseur, agrees.
"Reverse sear is becoming more and more popular, as it gives a much greater margin of error in cooking steaks, particularly larger cuts because the timing of the cooking process is much less important," says Tanner. "Basically, no more charred steaks with raw middles."
What about the reverse sear enables the steak to achieve optimal flavor and texture?
When you think of a seared piece of meat, you likely think of tender, pink meat with a crisp, darkened crust. To achieve this look using the reverse sear method, you start cooking the steak ideally in the oven at a low temperature and then tossing it onto a sizzling cast iron skillet to finish it off before serving.
"By starting the cooking process at a lower temperature, you can ensure that the entire steak is cooked evenly through to the exact level of doneness you're looking for, before searing for the perfect crust," says Tanner.
How can you reverse sear a steak at home?
Tanner provides a step-by-step guide to the perfect reverse sear steak.
- Make sure to start with a well-rested steak, at least 30-60 minutes out of the refrigerator, so it has fully come to room temperature.
- If using an oven, 220 degrees Fahrenheit is a good temperature for a consistent cook.
- Use a meat thermometer to monitor internal temperature and pull out when the steak measures 15 degrees Fahrenheit below the desired finishing temperature, which is 115-120 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare.
- In a heavy, hot skillet with a bit of butter, sear the steak on each side until well browned and the internal temperature rises to 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare.
- Let rest 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
Note: in between steps one and two, be sure to season the steak with whatever spices, herbs, and marinades if you have yet to do so already.
Now, it's time to cut into that tender yet caramelized steak. You'll see why a reverse sear is the perfect way to serve a steak!

The EcoWaste Coalition issued the call as public and private stakeholders converge for a workshop about the “London Protocol” on February 15-18 in Pasay City under the auspices of the Philippine Coast Guard in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
“We urge the government to expeditiously ratify the ‘London Protocol’ and develop a national implementation plan that will protect the marine environment from deliberate waste disposal at sea,” said Manny Calonzo of the EcoWaste Coalition and the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives.
The 1996 “London Protocol” to the 1972 “London Convention” (or the “Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter”) entered into force in 2006 and will in time replace the Convention the Philippines ratified way back in 1973. The “London Protocol”has been ratified by 37 countries.
Citing information from IMO, the “London Protocol” prohibits all dumping, “except for possibly acceptable wastes and substances on the so-called reverse list” and subject to the observance of certain guidelines.
The “London Protocol” further bans altogether the practice of incineration at sea, except for emergencies, as well as bans the export of wastes or other matter to non-Parties for the purpose of dumping or incineration at sea.
“We hope that RP’s ratification of the ‘London Protocol’ will also see the Philippines leading the fight to protect the oceans from dumping and other potentially toxic human activities such as ship sinking, breaking and recycling,” he stated.
“The ratification should likewise elicit open, informed and meaningful debates and consultations on any plans to manipulate or geo-engineer the oceans to ‘fix’ climate change,” he added.
The “London Protocol” integrates the precautionary and polluter pays principles that are essential in halting the oceans from turning into depositories for damaging materials and contaminants, the EcoWaste Coalition observed.
The precautionary principle is enshrined in Article 3 of the Protocol, which requires that “appropriate preventative measures are taken when there is reason to believe that wastes or other matter introduced into the marine environment are likely to cause harm even when there is no conclusive evidence to prove a causal relation between inputs and their effects.”
The same article states that “the polluter should, in principle, bear the cost of pollution,” further stressing that contracting parties should ensure that the Protocol should not simply result in pollution being transferred from one part of the environment to another.

Increased drilling and improved drilling efficiency have led to significant crude oil production increases in the Eagle Ford region in southern Texas. These increases have occurred despite the region's relatively high well decline rates. However, by offsetting the natural declines through the use of new recovery techniques, further production increases are possible.
Horizontal drilling combined with an increasing number of hydraulic fracturing stages in tight formations like the Eagle Ford typically enhance initial production rates when compared to past results. These higher initial production rates are often accompanied by initially larger decline rates, before gradually leveling off to a consistent level of decline for the remaining years of the well life.
While initial production rates have steadily increased since 2009, first-year decline rates in the Eagle Ford have fluctuated between 60% and 70%. Most notably, decline rates over the second year of production have steadily increased from 30% for wells drilled in 2009 to nearly 50% for wells drilled in 2011 and 2012. Since 2013, many producers have been using significantly more proppant (sand or other material designed to keep a hydraulic fracture open) when hydraulically fracturing new wells, which appears to have increased initial production rates, but which was followed by a steeper drop in production.

The alternative is to use a based-file format like QEMU’s qcow2, which is supported by Linux’s KVM virtual-machine manager. In this case, an initial instance of the VM is set up and the operating system is installed possibly with additional applications. The VM is then terminated and the resulting file is used as the base for subsequent qcow2 files.
Setting up one of these subsequent files takes minimal time and space. It can then be used by a new VM, where changes made to the disk are recorded in the new file. Typically, the based file will contain information that will not change in the new file, although doing something like updating the operating system may cause the new file to grow significantly. This masks the original file to the point where the original will not be referenced, since all of its data has been overwritten.
The chain of based files can continue so that there may be a starting image with just the operating system. The next in the chain may add services like a database application. Another might add a web server. Starting up a new instance of a database server would build a new file starting from the image with the database in it, while a web server with database server would start from the database/web-server file.
The use of based files addressed duplication of file storage. For memory deduplication, we need to turn to the hypervisor. Some hypervisors can determine when particular memory blocks are duplicates, such as the underlying OS code assuming two or more VMs use the same OS with the exact same code. This approach can significantly reduce the amount of memory required, depending on the size of shared code or data that can be identified.
An issue with containers is the requirement that the underlying OS be the same for all containers being supported. This is often a happy occurrence for embedded systems in which applications can be planned to use the same OS. Of course, this isn’t always the case; this can even be an issue in the cloud. The answer is to run the container system in its own VM. In fact, the management tools can handle this, because a collection of services/containers will often be designed to run on a common container platform.
Finally, there’s the idea of thin VMs. These VMs have a minimal OS and run a single application. Many times, the OS forwards most of the service requests, such as file access, to a network server. Stripped-down versions of standard operating systems like Linux are substantially smaller. In the extreme case, the OS support is actually linked into the application so that the VM is just running a single program. For embedded applications, the network communication may be done via shared memory, providing a quick way to communicate with other VMs on the same system.
No one approach addresses all embedded applications, and there may be more than one reasonable alternative to deploying multiple program instances. It will be more critical to consider the alternatives when designing a system as the world moves from single-core platforms to ones with many, many cores.

I have finished combining two studios into one. In May, Regina Partridge and I closed Studio Goddard Partridge, our printmaking studio which we jointly maintained in Pawtucket, Rhode Island for nineteen years. I acquired the etching press and all the equipment and moved it into my studio in Newport. I have not allowed myself to make art until I re-organized the spaces, throwing out what was not necessary or useful, and trying to put as much “stuff” behind cupboard doors as possible. I have also acquired from an estate sale a small letterpress and a lot of type, which I am sorting into appropriate boxes. Needless to say, organizing supplies is only one aspect of a studio. Another huge challenge is properly storing the work that I have made so that it is accessible and protected. This past week I gave myself a 90% completion score, and made my first prints at 12 Leroy Avenue.
As I begin working, I am reminded of the importance for me of a quiet space, which allows me to tap into my inner voice. Our lives are generally so fast-paced and fragmented that it is almost impossible to be aware of our individual thoughts, sensations and emotions as we navigate life. That is why quiet is so important; quiet gives us an opening into our interior selves. Whether in churches or libraries, yoga studios or art studios, nature walks or isolated vistas, places that are apart from mainstream living become the environments for contemplation and creativity.
I think art-making requires that environment….at least it does for me. As soon as I begin working, I am aware of an inner communication with myself. I tap into that communication and let the tools of art bring what has been interior to the exterior. Sometimes I feel this is a communication with God. Often, it is an expression of the deep gratitude I feel for being alive. I hope this comes through in my finished pieces of art.
I look forward to sharing some of the thoughts and practices that guide me as I move into this new phase of my life. Please feel free to respond to me.

Festivals of music, dance, community, peace, love, and compost.
I go to music festivals to study the craft of other performers, to get lost in the music, to learn about the inner workings of hosting a festival, and to become part of a community that embraces music, dance, community, peace, love, and compost.
In this blog, I'll share the festivals I attend and the experiences I encounter, musical and otherwise.
Great Blue Heron Music Festival - Sherman, NY - July 5-7, 2019
The Blue Heron Music Festival usually falls on the first weekend in July. The location is on a working farm in Sherman, NY, so far south and so far west in New York State that it's almost in Pennsylvania. The festival is hosted by Donna the Buffalo and the folks who own the farm and, being a farm girl, I find this particularly inspiring. There are 3 stages- Main Stage, Dance Tent, and the stage in the woods for more acoustic acts. You can come for the afternoon, or dance through the evening and "camp a little while in the wilderness" (that's a reference to an old Appalachian song).
Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival of Music & Dance - Trumansburg, NY - July 18-21, 2019
Grassroots Festivals are also hosted by Donna the Buffalo, but they happen during multiple seasons in different states along the east cost. These festivals are meant to support local musicians and culture, so bands vary depending on location. Grassroots in Trumansburg has food vendors from surrounding cities, along with the traveling troupe that cooks food at all the Grassroots festivals on the east coast. Last summer, I had the pleasure of volunteering in the Hospitality tent, washing dishes and preparing food for folks. It's a great way to meet people, to feel useful, and to get free admission into the festival. There are lots of options to volunteer, and your shifts are scheduled around the bands that you want to see.

HEAL recently highlighted the importance of continued EU action to reduce pollution in a panel discussion at the Brain Innovation Days. The science on how exposure to air, chemicals or pesticides pollution harms healthy brain development keeps growing: a recent review of 40 empirical studies conducted across four continents has shed light on the concerning link between outdoor air pollution and children's brain development.
An international group of 33 world-renowned scientists published today a peer-reviewed consensus statement on the impact of food contact chemicals on human health and recommended improvements of the assessment of chemicals in a health-protective way . Civil society groups from Europe, the U.S. and Asia have issued a declaration of concern in response to this consensus statement, calling on regulators to upgrade regulatory frameworks in order to protect public health while ensuring a transition away from single-use towards safe and reusable food packaging .
The “Impacts of food contact chemicals on human health: a consensus statement” is based on more than 1,200 peer-reviewed studies. The authors confirm important concerns, starting with the fact that hazardous chemicals can transfer from food contact materials into our food. Many of the chemicals used in materials and finished packaging articles are either hazardous to human health or their risks have not been evaluated. Some of these chemicals are known endocrine disruptors (EDCs), while others are expected to cause cancer, harm reproduction, build up in our bodies, persist in the environment or affect our DNA .
From a European perspective, the consensus statement is especially relevant considering that many materials containing chemicals and used in packaging articles are not covered by current European Union legislation. Only five out of seventeen materials used for the processing or packaging of food are regulated at the European level: ceramics, regenerated cellulose film, active and intelligent materials, plastics and recycled plastics. Widely used materials such as paper and cardboard – which are often promoted as being more environmentally friendly in response to plastic pollution concerns – are not regulated at the EU level, meaning that people living in different parts of the Union are not equally protected .
Natacha Cingotti, senior health and chemicals policy officer at the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) said: “Nobody should ever have to worry about being exposed to harmful chemicals through food; yet thousands of chemicals can be used in the processing and packaging of our food without all of them going through full safety testing. This consensus statement adds yet further urgency to make the upgrade of the regulatory framework on food contact materials a top priority under the European Green Deal and to put health first in doing so.”
The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), a co-signer to the declaration of concern, has long advocated for health-protective legislation on hazardous chemicals in food packaging and other food contact materials . Together with the civil society groups that signed this declaration, we are calling on lawmakers to:
- Ensure full disclosure and traceability of chemicals used in packaging throughout the supply chain;
- Restrict the use of hazardous chemicals in food packaging (and products), and prevent regrettable substitutions, and;
- Adopt policies that support the transition towards safe, reusable, and refillable packaging.
HEAL is advocating for a reform of the European legislative framework on food contact materials:
- Our concerns about the chemicals present in food contact materials are explained in an easy-to-use briefing about the topic. First published in 2016 and updated in May 2019, this document forms the basis of our work on food contact materials.
- Together with BEUC, ChemTrust, ClientEarth and Zero Waste Europe, we support calls for a full reform of the legislative framework governing food contact materials on the EU market in order to deliver the European Green Deal for people and for a toxic-free environment.

What began as an engineering student project turned into a real mobile application. The second-year project, formerly known as EasyTalk , has been dubbed Click & Say, a digital tool that helps children with speech and communication.
Céline Carlier, Inès Sabani and Morgane Ragneau are graduates of the ESILV/EMLV joint degree program, class of 2020. To make their student project a reality, the three ESILV engineers came up with an application available on mobile stores from June 2021.
A student project rewarded by the Sopra Steria – Institut de France Foundation
In 2017, during their 2nd year of engineering studies, the three co-founders’ idea was to create a tool that would digitalize the traditional paper-based sign-language communication board.
In 2018, the project won the Coup de Cœur prize of the Sopra Steria-Institut de France Foundation’s Student Prize for its solidarity approach.
“The values supported by the Foundation correspond to those we want to promote with our project: equality, development, new technologies serving mankind, and greater disability awareness,” explained the EasyTalk team at the time.
Click & Say: tech at the service of inclusive communication
“Click & Say” is the result of the venture of three female students driven by the desire to help the families of children with communication problems. On the Click & Say website, Inès, Morgane and Céline, the three ESILV co-founders, explain the origins of this project:
“When Inès brought to light the communication problems faced by families with a mentally disabled child, the urge to harness new technologies for a social issue seemed obvious.”
Her personal experience gave a unique dimension and motivation to carry out this project and bring help to these families by digitizing the standard communication booklet.”
Pictograms, dashboard, interactivity: an alternative & augmented communication method
Click & Say is a real-life companion for children with communication disorders. Through a customizable dashboard, the application lets the child interact instantly with his family and friends in a matter of a few clicks, thanks to numerous pictograms.
These graphics represent daily activities with voice descriptions: several objects, actions, and characters are available to help the child express a desire, a need or an idea.
The Click & Say digital board is inspired by augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems, which offers tools that replace oral language thanks to new technologies, such as AI, voice synthesis systems, eye-tracking, etc.
The idea is to assist children with a broad range of speech and language disorders to communicate in the most effective way possible in all daily situations.

Six Benefits of White Background Photography
Unless your product is white, you have the perfect background to fulfill most e-commerce platform guidelines. White background product photography has its set of advantages that cannot be ignored. Your products will be thanking you for making them look so smart and professional. Your brand will stand out and get noticed by customers who are flooded with similar pictures every day.
However, when Ether Arts Photography puts their best product photographer forward, there is no better day for a photo shoot. This Atlanta-based company is here to show you why your retail business needs a professional, today more than ever.
Benefits of white background product photography
Placing items against a white background has countless benefits. We’ll try and not make this too long for you, although we are tempted to!
- In focus by default – This means that when a white background is set and you just walk by it, you get noticed. Reserved-natured people hate walking by such attention-grabbing shades. Now, imagine placing your product against a white background. It turns heads, just the way you want it for your customers.
- Perfect for after effects – A white background enables the amateur or experienced photographer to experiment with the product on Photoshop. Effects right from color filters to size adjustments and focus can be done easily. Also, other items can be placed around the product giving it a lifestyle essence.
- Place other items – Why wait for after-effects when a range of lifestyle touches can be given live! A white background can encourage a range of other ideas where items that complement your product can be placed alongside.
- Clean and smart – The product looks clean and smart when placed against a white backdrop. It stands out even better once the photo is clicked. White background product photography can make the product looks sophisticated, giving it a great look on posters.
- Easy camera adjustments – When using a white background, it becomes easier for the cameraman expert to make technical adjustments. The monochrome setting ensures easy adjustment of temperatures and light filters as compared to a room full of the colored backdrop.
- Product-positioning – The expert is better able to judge the placement angle of the product without constantly having to move the product. In contrast to a colored background, white background makes it easy to place the product and other props without extra color-matching hassles.
Now that you know the benefits, note that not just anyone can benefit from a white background. They need the best product photographer. Ether Arts Photography ensures that your brand gets professional services first hand. Their expertise and talent come from a variety of experiences gain through numerous photo shoots.
White background product photography is needed by all brands as they shape-up to compete for their customer’s attention. Ether Arts provides a professional photo studio setting which makes it easier to conduct the entire process. If you want more details on their services and types of photoshoots, book an appointment.

Embracing the digital world is critical. This means investment in digital technologies, which will underpin data-enabled smart services and the intelligent infrastructure. Digital disruption of utilities, if embraced effectively, will allow utilities to meet customer demands, appease regulators, overcome environmental challenges and remain relevant. Here’s our exclusive list of the 10 key disruptive technologies, as selected by UK utilities professionals.
1, Energy storage
Lithium ion batteries remain the technology of choice for most battery storage applications, but flow batteries and compressed air are fighting to prove their worth. And the government has committed £42m in 2017 to the Faraday Institution to support battery storage research and development.
2, Electric Vehicles
The number of models available to consumers has proliferated, and with government committed to phasing out petrol and diesel vehicles from 2040, the electrification of transport is on the cusp of a radical increase.
3, Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Some network control systems now use AI to deliver autonomous network optimisation, and recruitment and workforce development professionals are increasingly eyeing its potential.
4, Smart meters
To date, almost 9 million smart meters have been deployed across the UK – a fraction of the total rollout challenge, which still has a deadline of 2020 for suppliers to have offered customers installation.
5, Data analytics
With more information than ever before flowing from smart meters and other sensors alongside traditional sources of data about their operations, the information is there for the taking.
6, Internet of things (IoT)
The proliferation of embedded intelligence within everyday devices and assets – and their ability to interact via the internet – is driving a revolution in business models, service opportunities and asset management approaches.
7, Renewable energy advances
The government has awarded contracts worth £176m to 11 low-carbon electricity schemes. The time when renewables will provide most of our electric energy supply is fast approaching.
Blockchain is the ultimate accompaniment to the rise of distributed energy resources, offering to enable peer-to-peer trading of energy between prosumers.
9, Water re-use technologies
Water re-use boosts water resilience at a local level and could be the key to easing pressure on the country’s overstretched water resources, while helping to reduce the burden on urban sewerage systems.
Hydrogen is a potential answer to decarbonising heat. This is because when burned, hydrogen is zero carbon at the point of use, with only two by-products – heat and water – making it the ultimate clean fuel.

Joseph was the Web site administrator for the Mason Insurance in New York, who's main Web site was located at www.masonins.com. Joseph uses his laptop computer regularly to administer the Web site.
One night, Joseph received an urgent phone call from his friend, Smith. According to Smith, the main Mason Insurance web site had been vandalized! All of its normal content was removed and replaced with an attacker's message ''Hacker Message: You are dead! Freaks!
From his office, which was directly connected to Mason Insurance's internal network, Joseph surfed to the Web site using his laptop. In his browser, the Web site looked completely intact. No changes were apparent. Joseph called a friend of his at his home to help troubleshoot the problem. The Web site appeared defaced when his friend visited using his DSL connection. So, while Smith and his friend could see the defaced page, Joseph saw the intact Mason Insurance web site. To help make sense of this problem, Joseph decided to access the Web site using his dial-up ISP. He disconnected his laptop from the corporate internal network and used his modem to dial up the same ISP used by Smith.
After his modem connected, he quickly typed www.masonins.com in his browser to reveal the following web page:
Y0u @re De@d! Fre@ks!
After seeing the defaced Web site, he disconnected his dial-up line, reconnected to the internal network, and used Secure Shell (SSH) to log in directly to the Web server. He ran Tripwire against the entire Web site, and determined that every system file and all the Web content on the server were intact.
How did the attacker accomplish this hack?
If a token and 4-digit personal identification number (PIN) are used to access a computer system and the token performs off-line checking for the correct PIN, what type of attack is possible?

As society and business increasingly consume and produce digital goods and services, a digitally dexterous workforce is essential to foster agility, collaboration and the adoption of new digital technologies. Gartner. says the CIO must be the culture change agent to enhance digital dexterity as a competency that applies to individuals, teams and the organisation as a whole.
“The digital component of most jobs is increasing. Technical skills are important, but are not enough to steer a successful digital business transformation,” said Helen Poitevin, research vice president at Gartner. “Business and IT leaders need to employ the right talent with a specific set of mindsets, beliefs and behaviors — which we call digital dexterity — to launch, finish and capitalize on digital initiatives.”
During Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo, which is taking place in Cape Town through Wednesday, Gartner analysts explained how organisations can create a digital dexterity program to lead successful digital business initiatives.
The payoff from digital dexterity can be significant. Employees with high levels of digital dexterity are more than three times more likely to gain value from digital initiatives than those with moderate digital dexterity. “They are quicker to launch, finish and obtain the outcomes they seek from digital initiatives,” said Poitevin.
In 2019, 29% of CIOs in EMEA viewed digital business as a top priority, so improving digital dexterity throughout the organisation is crucial. To help their employees to develop digital dexterity traits, business leaders need to build them up by enabling enterprise agility and developing digital competencies. Above all, business leaders need to make digital dexterity a C-suite priority.
The CIO Is the Culture Change Leader Partnering With Chief HR Officers
“Mindsets and practices shape culture, and technology acts as an amplifier of that culture. Technology by itself seldomly changes an organisation’s culture”, said Daniel Sanchez Reina, senior research director at Gartner. Technology is often the backbone of how work gets done and reinforces the company culture, which is why culture change is becoming an increasing responsibility of IT.
“Increasingly, it’s the responsibility of the CIO to operationalize the enterprise culture and the prevalence of digital dexterity in the workplace,” added Sanchez Reina. “The CIO will play a key role in supporting desired behaviors and changing the processes, procedures, policies and management practices that shape how work gets done to encourage desired behaviors.”
The CIO is the culture change leader and the chief HR officer (CHRO) is a key partner to the CIO in shifting the mindset of their own IT team members from “this is the way we have always done things” to “how can we do things better?”
“This will only happen by applying a framework of culture change, which includes increasing the digital dexterity of the entire organisation,” Sanchez Reina said.
Gartner introduced the PRISM (purpose; rituals; identity; support and merit) framework to enable organisations to change cultural traits that prevented a culture change (e.g. silo-minded organisations or risk-averse teams). “PRISM works because it allows organisations to raise employee’s awareness on the need for change. That is the one and only key to success,” concluded Sanchez Reina.

The refuse collection business is growing. More people means more garbage, which is great if you are in the business of building refuse trucks and compactors. NTM, which offers hundreds of build specifications to cater for the growing trend of recycling diverse waste products, has seen a year on year sales increase of 10-15% in recent times.
A growing order book doesn’t come without certain problems. To meet new demands, NTM had to increase production, which meant introducing a nightshift or automation – two options that can be unpopular with employees.
“Automation was our preferred choice,” says Simon Grönqvist at NTM. “But it was a big challenge due to the broad range of designs we offer customers, and because we didn’t want to extend the factory or interfere with production.”
Choosing FANUC Robots
The project was put out to tender, and a number of robot manufacturers offered their services. Several months later FANUC’s Finnish service partner MTC Flextek was awarded the contract for delivery, installation and service and maintenance.
“There were several reasons why we decided to go with FANUC,” says Grönqvist. “Firstly, MTC provided the best holistic solution for our needs. Secondly, the FANUC M-2000iA/2300 is the only robot that can handle the heavy payloads, which can weigh up to two tons. And thirdly with this solution we can easily create new welding programs for the FANUC ARC Mate to work on through the night. The solution is also compact, safety focused, and fits into our existing manufacturing plant. And finally, as we already have a FANUC robot in the factory, our team are familiar with the operating system.”
During the day, the robots are prepped for the nightshift. This involves placing the heavy payloads around the safety pit and setting up the operating system with the lifting and welding requirements. “We also experiment and test the capabilities of the robots during the daytime,” continues Grönqvist. “This is done in real-time with a control panel. The software logs the simulations, which we can run at night, if we choose to do so.”
A Safe and Reliable Unmanned Operation
The robots operate unattended throughout the night. During this time they complete about ten full sections. The FANUC M-2000iA/2300 lifts a section from its base plate into a ringed secure zone and rotates into the right position for the FANUC ARC Mate to expertly weld all the contours of the section. Once a section is completed it is returned to its base plate, and the process begins again. When the first shift arrives in the morning the welds are checked by hand, and the sections are moved to the next stage of assembly.
“If there is an error during the night, an alarm is generated by the operating system, the robots automatically shut-down and we receive an alert,” says Grönqvist. “However, since the robots were installed, everything has run smoothly, and we haven’t received many alerts.”
The solution has been designed to meet growing demand for NTM products for the coming years. The robots can also be put to work on weekends should it be required. However Grönqvist doesn't believe this is the end of automation at NTM.
“The collaboration with FANUC and MTC Flextek has been a great success. Thanks to the robots we’re able to produce more refuse trucks, which ultimately means a better service for the public, as garbage is cleared and recycled effectively. We’re now looking at other ways that automation can assist our staff and help meet the growing demand for our products,” concludes Grönqvist.
About the Client
NTM is one of Europe’s leading providers of refuse trucks and
compactors. With its headquarters in Närpes in northern Finland, the
company has over 400 employees and several subsidiaries across Europe.

My Taco Seasoning is simple and economical. A delicious blend of herbs and spices to season meats, dips, and sauces. Keep on hand in your pantry to make Taco Tuesday easy and tasty.
Homemade Taco Seasoning Started it All
Farmgirl Gourmet began in October of 2006 as a diary of sorts and morphed into a Top 100 Food blogs by 2011. In 2013, I joined forces with a chef to create a spice company called Spiceology that quickly took my focus away from making recipes here, but definitely kept me recipe developing and ideating by creating some of Spiceology’s most popular spice blends like: Cowboy Crust, Nashville Hot Chicken, and other spice blends for companies like Williams-Sonoma, celebrities, chefs, and high profile content creators like Derek Wolf.
I really love putting flavors together to create something delicious and I hope you enjoy this recipe for homemade taco seasoning as much as I do.
Table of contents
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Chili Powder – what is the difference between regular chili powder and New Mexico chile Powder? Regular chili powder is a blend of different types of red chiles and spices while New Mexico Chile Powder is only ground New Mexico chile peppers.
- Garlic Granules or Powder – for this recipe, whichever you have on hand will work. I personally like granules better than powder for the texture and less talc-like consistency.
- Cumin Seed, Ground – is one of my favorite single spices for it’s incredible aroma.
- Onion Granules or Powder – the same as above with garlic, use what you have but granules is my favorite.
- Mexican Oregano – the difference between Mexican oregano and Mediterranean oregano is 1) geography, but 2) the flavor profiles of both are quite different. Mexican oregano is more earthy while Mediterranean is more floral.
- Smoked Paprika – adds color with a little smoke hint that gives this taco seasoning a boost of flavor. You can substitute Hungarian or Regular paprika if you choose.
- Red Pepper Flake/Chili Flakes – if you’re not a fan of chili flakes, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or omit entirely if you’d rather not have any kick.
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper – the staple duo that really belongs in almost every kind of savory cooking. Kosher salt is less dense than table salt, so if you only have table salt on hand, half the quantity in the recipe and taste to adjust to your liking.
*NOTE: Find the printable recipe with exact measurements and instructions below.
How to Make Taco Seasoning
Add all spices to a bowl and stir to combine. Store in an airtight container.
Tips for Storing
- Keep in an airtight jar or container out of direct sunlight or heat. This will keep your spice blend fresh for the next use.

November 22, 2021
After conducting an expedited review of OSHA’s Nov. 5 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS), the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reaffirmed its initial stay order preventing OSHA from enforcing the ETS as planned starting January 2022.
The court made several interesting findings in its November 12, 2021, order, deeming the ETS “fatally flawed” and contradictory in its application; in its own words, both “overinclusive” – in that it applies to all employers and employees in all industries without differentiation – and “underinclusive” – as it fails to mandate protections for workforces of less than 100 employees.
The court also found OSHA’s promulgation of the ETS “grossly exceeds [its] statutory authority.” The court’s opening remarks outlined the “emergency” nature of OSHA’s historic rulemaking abilities, noting “in its fifty-year history, OSHA has issued just 10 ETSs." Six of these 10 ETS mandates were challenged in court with only one surviving judicial scrutiny.
Whether or not the Nov. 12 stay becomes permanent will depend on how things progress as pending legal challenges are consolidated and transferred to a single circuit court in accordance with federal law. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has won the multi-district lottery and will hear consolidated complaints from the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits.
There is also a strong possibility of further delays as it is likely that any final Court of Appeals ruling will seek U.S. Supreme Court review. Pending the outcome of these legal developments, OSHA has “suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS.”
The Fifth Circuit’s stay has also put things on hold in California.
Cal/OSHA’s Standard’s Board did not discuss changes to the existing Cal/OSHA COVID-19 ETS at board meeting Nov. 18. The board was to consider a verbatim adoption of the federal ETS, but instead will wait until more information is available pending the outcome of developing federal litigation on the issue.
In the interim, Cal/OSHA ETS adopted in June 2021 will remain in effect.
With so much uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the vaccine mandate, impacted employers are encouraged to begin contemplating what steps may need to be taken if the ETS is allowed to move forward.
For example, what policies/procedures will need to be put into place to track vaccination status, how will testing protocols be implemented, and whether additional sick time will be provided for those who experience vaccination side-effects.

ECOC postponed until December
The management committee behind industry conference and exhibition, ECOC has taken the decision to postpone the 2020 event from September to December due to the current situation regarding Covid-19. It will still be held in Brussels at the same venue.
A statement on the event’s website said: ‘The Covid-19 outbreak has presented everyone with unprecedented challenges and uncertainties. We have been closely monitoring the travel advice and public health guidelines issued through the official channels of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Government of Belgium, and Belgian public health agencies. In light of uncertainties regarding international travel, in response to requests from local authorities, and in consultation with ECOC Management Committee we have decided to postpone ECOC 2020 to 6– 10 December 2020 (Exhibition dates 7-9) in Brussels, Belgium. By postponing ECOC 2020 we will significantly increase the possibility of a successful edition (in person) of our exhibition and IMEC, our partner in organizing the conference. In light of this the conference has decided to postpone the paper submission deadline to 28 August, thus offering the possibility to complete the experiments which in many laboratories have come to a halt due to the corona crisis.’
ECOC joins a number of other industry events that have been postponed until December, including but not limited to the FTTH Conference (1-3 December), and NGON DCI (1-3 December). If all now goes ahead according to schedule, the industry will have a very busy end-of-year!

The ASA has ordered Santander not to show a credit card advertisement again in its current form. The TV advert, aired last November, showed various scenarios including people looking at holiday photos, choosing games and discussing finances. A voiceover stated benefits the All in One card would give, including cashback on all purchases, no fee for spending abroad and 0% on balance transfers for 40 months. Text on the screen stated 0.5% cashback, that retailer and ATM fees may apply abroad and that there was a 1% balance transfer fee. It gave a representative example. A viewer challenged the ad, saying the Rep APR was not given appropriate prominence. Santander said it was, and that, as FCA rules required, the Rep APR was not given greater prominence than the representative example, which itself had no greater prominence than the incentive for taking out credit or any other information relating to the cost of credit. The ASA acknowledged it understood why Santander thought the ad was compliant, and said the size of the text and the amount of time it was on screen was sufficient for it to be clear to viewers. However, it thought the visual footage emphasised and therefore added prominence to what was described in the voiceover – thus making the on-screen text less prominent than the information that was communicated verbally. For that reason the ASA said the ad breached the BCAP Code rule 14.11.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s representatives have rubbished an accusation that the Real Madrid superstar concealed earnings and defrauded Spanish authorities of €14.7 million.
Earlier on Tuesday, Spain’s prosecutor’s office in Madrid said on Tuesday it had filed a lawsuit against football star Cristiano Ronaldo for allegedly defrauding Spanish authorities of 14.7 million euros between 2011 and 2014.
The prosecutor’s office said in a statement that Real Madrid’s Ronaldo had knowingly used a business structure created in 2010 to allegedly hide his income in Spain from his image rights.
This involved a “voluntary” failure to comply with his tax obligations in Spain, the statement from the office’s economic crimes section said. The accusations were based on a report from Spain’s tax agency, it said.
However, Jorge Mendes, who is the owner of Gestifute and also Ronaldo’s agent – published a statement laying bare their clients’ payments related to his image rights and accentuated “there has never been concealment, or the slightest intention to conceal”.
Gestifute stated that the company, Tollin, is not an offshore structure for evading taxes as it was established back in 2004 when Ronaldo joined Manchester United.
The statement read: “The Public Prosecutor has filed today a complaint against Cristiano Ronaldo and not a claim, which implies a substantial change.”
“The Public Prosecutor understands that CR [Ronaldo] is participating in an offshore structure, similar to that of other players, when most of the revenues were obtained directly by the player, without the participation of any of his societies.”
“The rest of his revenues were paid to the player and declared in Spain according to the terms that the player’s advisors considered applicable.”
“There is no offshore structure for evading taxes. Tollin is 100 per cent owned by Cristiano Ronaldo since its foundation in 2004. It was founded when the player arrived at Manchester United, six years before his signing for Real Madrid, and the net profits were 12.753.685.28 euros.”
Gestifute then threw light on Tollin’s distribution of taxes during Ronaldo’s stint at Manchester United accentuating that no other tailored arrangements were used when the Portuguese star had made a then-world record switch to Real Madrid in 2009.
The statement continued: “When Cristiano Ronaldo signed for Real Madrid, he maintained the same structure he had in UK. No other structure was created at that moment.”
“Throughout all of the above mentioned years, CR never had a tax problem, contrary to what the Spanish Prosecutors insinuates. All contractual modifications to [the] structure have been made to guarantee that the incomes fully observe the Spanish tax regulation.”
The statement also highlighted how Ronaldo cooperated with the Spanish tax authorities on previous occasions and concluded: “The declared amount can be discussed, but it is clear that the football player did not try to evade taxes.”

There is a big misconception about dielectric and thermal conductive greases and the job they perform. Despite the word “electric” in its description, dielectric grease does not conduct electricity. It is, in fact, an insulator. So, it should never be used for high-tension leads like spark plug connectors. Where you should use dielectric grease is around the inside of the spark plug boot to seal out moisture and prevent the boot from sticking to the spark plug ceramic. A good example of this grease is MSD’s Spark Guard which you can find at Summit Racing under P/N: 8804 or Permatex P/N: 81150 in a 0.33-ounce tube.
Also, dielectric grease should never be used between an HEI module and the distributor body. What should be used instead is thermal transfer grease which is commonly white in color because its main component is aluminum oxide. In the HEI application, thermal grease is used to improve heat transfer between the module and the distributor body. A new module usually comes with a small tube of this heat transfer gel. But if not, this must still be used or the module may quickly fail.
We found a small tube of this thermal transfer grease at AutoZone under part number SL203 for less than $5.00. We also found a larger tube of Super Lube at Grainger for a decent price. There are many others but be careful because some are described as dielectric grease which may not be a thermal transfer material. It’s always a good idea to check carefully and ask questions to determine exactly what the product does.
A third material that is also often used around spark plug threads is anti-seize. The issue with anti-seize is that it is a very conductive material — the exact opposite of dielectric grease. If you must use anti-seize on spark plug threads, use it very sparingly. We’ve seen spark plugs literally dripping with this stuff on the threads which makes it very easy to find its way to the business end of a spark plug where the spark will ground out and create a misfire. You don’t see anti-seize used on race engines for a reason, so use it sparingly on the threads.

Dearperusers, to analyze and clarify how cultivating was done when I wasyouthful, we will compose here the method of homestead life that was going onin those occasions; we realize effectively that things have improved from thatpoint forward, as we have composed above, in light of the work vehicle and newcultivating hardware that have come out from that point forward, all because ofthe modern transformation or progress; which we have encountered over the mostrecent hundred years or thereabouts, yet when I was youthful there were muchless progressed cultivating machine that could make cultivating simple,obviously, the work vehicles were at that point there, yet they were pricey topurchase for the majority of the little ranchers, along these lines, we neededto do most things the old ways. Presently let me disclose to you how life wasin the ranches of southern Italy in the mid fifties and prior.
It's undeniably true that in those occasions and evenpresently, there are multiple times during the year, when in the rancheseveryone is trying sincerely and working extremely extended periods of time;one of this was planting time and the other is reap time, let us start withplanting times. At the point when I was youthful the functioning day atplanting time would begin two hours before day break, since we needed to makethe ponies, donkeys and different creatures prepared for working in the fields,we needed to take care of them and water them also, it must be done so thateverything ought to be prepared to go into the fields at sunrise.
At that season in the first part of the day it was freezingand there are loads of chilly days, thus, toward the beginning of the day theexternal temperature could associate with nothing or underneath, it isextremely hard then to tackle the ponies to the furrow as all that one contactsis so cold; however then, at that point when one gets moving it isn't the caseterrible, on the grounds that strolling in the fields holding the furrow in onehand and directing the ponies with the other hand is difficult work and itmakes one warm. This sort of extremely difficult work at planting timecontinues for about a month if the climate is acceptable and maybe it very wellmay be longer than a month. At the point when the planting is done theneverything eases back down once more, yet we had still to care for the ranches'animals and do other cultivating tasks

The opening of the 70,000-seater Cape Town Stadium and 45,000 capacity Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, some 300km north of Johannesburg, means just two more venues have to be completed and begin pre-tournament testing before the finals.
They are Soccer City, where the tournament's opening match on June 11 and the final a month later will be played, and the Mbombela Stadium at Nelspruit.
South Africa has built six new stadiums for this year's World Cup and renovated four more.
Cape Town's stadium will stage a derby between the city's two premier league clubs - Ajax Cape Town and Santos.
Polokwane plans to host three South Africa top-flight teams plus Danish club side Brondby in a one-day tournament with two semi-finals in the morning followed by an afternoon final.
Both venues have restricted the capacity on Saturday as they test their facilities for the first time.
All of the 20,000 seats for the Cape Town event have been sold out while 30,000 tickets are being sold in Polokwane.

Officials are hoping Soccer City, which will have a capacity close to 95,000, can open its doors to the public for the first time next month.
There are plans to switch the traditional Soweto derby between the country's most popular clubs, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, to the venue on February 20, league officials told Reuters.
Nelspruit's new stadium has had to have a new pitch laid, after drainage problems with the first, postponing its planned December opening.
But local officials said they were still going ahead with plans to host a friendly international between Ghana and Bosnia-Herzegovina there on March 3.

SEATTLE, Wash. - On Friday, Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, communities come together to honor loved ones who have passed. Deeply rooted in Mexican culture, Día de Muertos is a celebration of life and death, inviting reflection through memories and traditions.
Now more than ever, sitting at the dinner table is more than just enjoying a meal or a cup of coffee; it's about honoring grandparents, aunts, parents, and siblings.
Located in Belltown, Black Arrows Coffee welcomes visitors with brightly colored papel picado, traditional paper banners with intricate designs representing the wind. There's also the allure of the warm, citrus scent of pan de muerto, a signature bread of Día de Muertos.
"The orange zest is what I love most about pan de muerto, along with its fluffy texture," said Nikole Zamudio. She and her husband, Daniel, co-own the corner coffee spot whose homemade Mexican mocha syrup is a nod to her heritage.
Día de Muertos is more than a cultural event for Daniel and Nikole; it’s an opportunity to introduce customers to flavors that resonate with their roots.
"It’s part of remembering who that family member was and what they loved, and then you tell stories around that," Daniel said. "It’s a good time to remember who our family was."
Pan de muerto is a staple in Día de Muertos' ofrendas and altares — offerings and altars honoring loved ones. These altars are filled with everything they once enjoyed, from conchas and other pan dulce, to playing cards, favorite beers, and cherished items from their lives.
Día de los Muertos is believed to be the one night a year when the spirits of our loved ones who have died can visit the living. Altares usually have several levels representing heaven, purgatory, and earth. Each level is adorned with photos and mementos of loved ones.
Meanwhile, Angelica Villaseñor, owner of D' La Santa on Capitol Hill, is honoring her seres queridos, or loved ones, by cooking their favorite meals. Growing up in Guadalajara, Angelica recalls her father as her "first love," a memory she honors through her restaurant.
"When he passed, now I understand Día de los Muertos. It’s so beautiful," Angelica said. "Now I understand the meaning of the dead."
This year, she transformed their "tree of life" into an ofrenda—an altar where traditional marigolds, known as cempasúchil, guide spirits to visit the living.
"This tradition is one of the most important for me," Angelica shared, emphasizing that the holiday’s aromas and sazón, or seasoning, evoke memories of family gatherings. "Food means family, tradition, and love," Angelica said.
Día de Muertos is believed to be a time when the spirits of loved ones can visit, if only for a night. According to tradition, an altar without a photo prevents the deceased from crossing over to reconnect with the living.
La Catrina* has become an iconic figure in Día de Muertos, adorned with bright colors and flowers. She serves as a reminder that death is not the end, but a natural and beautiful part of life.
Similarly, calaveras de azúcar, or sugar skulls, represent sweetness and the celebration of life, even in death. These colorful skulls are meant to be personalized with the names of family members to welcome back their spirits.
"As long as they live in your hearts, they're alive," Angelica said.
"Recordar es vivir—To remember is to live," Daniel said.
You're encouraged to participate and honor your loved ones. D' La Santa invites you to remember them and bring a picture of all the cherished moments with our loved ones this holiday season during Día de Muertos.

Of course Goodrich is not interested in public information. He’s interested in perception and propaganda. “In-custody injury ” must be some sort of PIO code for “bludgeoned to death.”

Lee Ufan Arles invites the great American contemporary artist Pat Steir to take over Atelier MA, opposite Hôtel Vernon. The exhibition Pat Steir, Light on Water brings together two bodies of rare and previously unseen works on paper by the renowned artist Pat Steir. Known for her paintings, Steir has been actively drawing since the early 1970s. In 1989, Pat Steir began her celebrated Waterfall series, in which she cascades paint down the length of the canvas, deliberately abandoning her process to gravity and chance. At this time, Steir produced the six drawings that make up the Light on Water series by pouring and combining oil paint and watercolor on handmade paper. Drawings from the Light on Water series will be exhibited alongside an untitled series from 2005. Distilling her pictorial process down to the decisive moment of contact with paper, these drawings testify to the place given to chance in the artist's work, when she lets paint take on its own shape.

Initially I tested the native Linux version from Humble Bundle and there were always dependencies missing. I spent over an hour trying to find the right libraries, install them or link to newer one's and it was too confusing. Some of these older libraries are no longer supported and are very difficult to setup. So I decided to try it in PlayOnLinux and it worked perfectly in a 32-bit virtual drive. No problems and great performance.

Twin Tin Bots
"The robot was advancing fast towards the base, loaded with crystals – but the opponent team's robot was nearing. 'Bzzzzt!' Lightning sparked briefly, and the Bot changed course to unload the crystal a few meters from his base, his programming slightly jammed by the shock wave. The opponent Bot immediately loaded the crystal and proceed to rejoin his base; two other Bots were nearing and they didn't look too friendly! The mechanic sighed heavily as he knew this would inevitably end up in a melee, damaged Bots, and long hours in the repair shop afterwards..."
In Twin Tin Bots, the robot-programming game for the new generation, many corporations have invested in crystal mining after they were discovered as a potent energy source. They designed and improved robots to harvest crystals and a few people can now run a big crystal harvesting rig. Many teams work on the same harvesting plant, but the game's always on to bring more crystals back than the others.
In the game, each player programs two robots to harvest crystals from the game board and bring them back to his base. The catch is that robots repeat their programming, but changes to the program from turn to turn are limited. Robots can also interact with other robots so even the best laid plans can end up slightly different than expected.
The player who harvests the most valuable crystals wins.

Ganesha warns against over-exertion and stress in the upcoming year and Leander shall remain in the limelight till at least August 2016.
Leander Adrian Paes – the Tennis heavyweight of India has been one of the brightest names in the world of sports and has achieved exemplary fame for being one of the best doubles and mixed doubles player. Along with Mahesh Bhupathi, this stalwart forms the most popular pair, fondly called LeeHesh and he has been a formidable force in Indian Tennis. For his brilliant gaming, he has been honoured with the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award, Arjuna Award, the Padma Shri and also the 3rd Highest Civilian Honour of India – the Padma Bhushan. Though he has enjoyed great sunshine on the field, his personal life has been a chequered one and has proved to be a matter of great concern for him. Having been in a live-in relationship with Rhea Pillai from long, he is now facing problems regarding the custody of their daughter. There has been an ongoing case and the outcome is uncertain. Let’s seek the help of the planets and find out what lies ahead for him…
Leander Paes – Indian Tennis Sensation
Date of Birth: June 17, 1973
Place of Birth: Kolkata, West Bengal
Chart Type: SOLAR CHART (Time of Birth Unavailable)
Leander Paes and the Planets…
- Leander Paes shall get the positive support from transiting Jupiter through Leo. However, this support may get weakened, owing to Rahu’s ongoing transit through Virgo—that shall continue till 30th January, 2016. Besides this, the ongoing transit of Saturn through Scorpio too shall remain tough for Paes. Hence, Ganesha feels that Paes may have to face stress and duress on the Tennis court till for about a year from now, and he would have to largely rely on hard, consistent work to forge ahead.
- The transiting Saturn in Scorpio may keep creating roadblocks or struggle for Paes, and sheer hard work, discipline and all the good attributes of Saturn shall be the only traits that shall bail the tennis star out of the tricky situations. However, Jupiter’s next transit through Virgo, beginning 11th August, 2016, shall be extremely beneficial for Paes, as at that time the transiting Jupiter shall be aspecting Paes’ Natal Jupiter and Mars. Thus, for the next one year from thereon, we may see the ageless tennis player yet again win some title.
- Overall, though, Ganesha feels that Paes will manage to remain active in his tennis career, in the days and months to come, and shall be able to get fame and appreciation till August 2017.
- However, he is under the influence of Saturn’s Sadesati. So, Paes will have to guard his health and himself, and thus refrain from too much fatigue and excessive training. Although, he will work very hard, he himself may not find the mental peace and satisfaction for his performances.

It looks like Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Mango is getting closer to release as Microsoft has announced that it has now delivered Windows Phone 7 Mango to manufacturers.
This means that manufacturers will now be able to start customizing Windows Phone 7 Mango for their handsets, and we should see Windows Phone 7 Mango smartphones being released over the next few months.
Earlier this morning, the Windows Phone development team officially signed off on the release to manufacturing (RTM) build of “Mango” – the latest version of the Windows Phone operating system.
New Features in Windows Phone 7 Mango
Windows Phone 7 Mango is not just a minor update; it brings a host of new features and improvements to the platform. One of the most anticipated features is the enhanced multitasking capability, which allows users to switch between apps more efficiently. This is a significant improvement over the previous version, where multitasking was somewhat limited.
Another notable feature is the integration of social networking services directly into the phone’s operating system. Users will be able to see updates from Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn all in one place, making it easier to stay connected with friends and colleagues. Additionally, the new Groups feature allows users to organize their contacts into groups and interact with them collectively.
The Mango update also brings improvements to the Internet Explorer browser, making it faster and more compatible with modern web standards. This means that users will have a better browsing experience, with quicker load times and smoother navigation.
Impact on the Smartphone Market
The release of Windows Phone 7 Mango is expected to have a significant impact on the smartphone market. With its new features and improvements, Mango aims to compete more effectively with other major operating systems like iOS and Android. The enhanced multitasking, social network integration, and improved browser are all features that users have been asking for, and their inclusion in Mango makes the platform more attractive.
Manufacturers like HTC, Samsung, and Nokia are expected to release new handsets featuring Windows Phone 7 Mango. These new devices will likely come with better hardware specifications, such as faster processors and higher-resolution screens, to take full advantage of the new operating system’s capabilities.
Microsoft also mentioned that the Windows Phone 7 Mango update for existing Windows Phone 7 handsets will be available this fall, so we can probably expect it to be released some time from September onwards. This is good news for current Windows Phone users, as they will be able to enjoy the new features without having to purchase a new device.
In addition to the consumer market, Windows Phone 7 Mango is also expected to make inroads into the enterprise sector. The new features and improvements make it a more viable option for business users who need a reliable and efficient smartphone for work purposes. The integration of Microsoft Office and other productivity tools will be a key selling point for this demographic.
Overall, the release of Windows Phone 7 Mango marks a significant milestone for Microsoft in the smartphone market. With its new features and improvements, it has the potential to attract a larger user base and compete more effectively with other major operating systems.

Before Giggio, managing the administrative side of Nick’s career was time-consuming and cumbersome. “I used to do everything by hand,” Nick recalls. “I had a Microsoft Word template for invoices and contracts. It would take days, sometimes weeks, to send, receive, and finalise contracts by post.”
The manual processes of keeping track of bookings, payments, and contracts ate into valuable time that Nick could have spent focusing on his performances. In addition, running his entire business from a single computer was a risk. "If my computer broke down or got stolen, my entire business would be gone," he says.
The idea of moving to a cloud-based system initially made Nick hesitant, as he wasn’t fully comfortable with storing everything online. However, once he switched to Giggio, those concerns quickly faded. "Giggio has given me control over my business from anywhere in the world,” Nick explains. “I can send out contracts from the back of a taxi or even while sitting on a sunbed on holiday. I now have access to all my information 24/7 from any device."
The ease and speed with which Giggio handles contracts and invoices is something Nick particularly values. “Before Giggio, I would manually fill out and track invoices in a book,” he says. Now, with a few clicks, he can send out professional contracts and receive digital confirmations within minutes.
One feature that stands out is the dashboard, which Nick describes as “very clear, concise, and user-friendly.” It allows him to monitor outstanding invoices, gigs awaiting confirmation, and client communications in one place. This functionality ensures that Nick stays organised without feeling overwhelmed by administrative tasks. “Giggio saves me time, and time is money,” he emphasises.
Thanks to Giggio, Nick has been able to reclaim valuable hours that he once spent on paperwork. This extra time has allowed him to focus on expanding his creative efforts and even launch Hat Trick Creative, a second company that provides event entertainment and production services. “In the last few years, Giggio has given me the time to set up my second business, which has been financially and creatively rewarding,” Nick says.
Beyond time management, Giggio has helped Nick stay organised, enabling him to work more efficiently and deliver better service to his clients. “Show business is made up of two words—show and business. The business side is often the boring bit, but Giggio allows me to manage it easily, so I can focus on delivering a great performance.”
As Nick continues to grow his two businesses, he’s confident that Giggio will remain an essential tool. With the ability to manage bookings from anywhere in the world, Giggio has allowed him to operate efficiently while maintaining a high level of professionalism. For fellow performers, Nick offers this advice: “For anyone booking more than four shows a month, Giggio will be one of the best investments you ever make.” With Giggio streamlining his business, Nick is free to focus on what he does best — creating memorable experiences that leave audiences talking for years to come.
Many thanks to Nick for taking the time to talk to us!

I would like to suggest a simple proposal: let’s never give any authority to anyone who dehumanizes others.
Recently I was reading a collection of survivor accounts from the residential schools that Canadians forced upon Indigenous children until as late as 1996. Once again, I had to face the hard truth of the extent of the sexual abuse that these vulnerable children suffered. I found myself reflecting on how so, so many people could become perpetrators of such heinous actions.
One thought that came into focus is the incredible moral danger that occurs when power and dehumanization are combined. I suddenly thought of the correlation with imagined futures (think Westworld, Ex Machina, Blade Runner) in which science fiction writers, probably correctly, assume that sexual exploitation of synthetic humanoids will be rife. Of course, it sadly seems, we will exploit those we consider near-but-less-than-human if we have the power to do so.
We have often been reminded of the corrupting influence of power. Respect for each other’s humanity may be the most important restraint on the abuse of this power. So when we dehumanize a category of people, we weaken this most crucial restraint. Once this dehumanization takes place, it appears that even commitments to religious beliefs offer little help for resisting the temptation to exploit those who are deemed to matter less. In fact, if those religious beliefs are twisted to become part of the dehumanizing (a sure sign that the religious beliefs themselves are actually evil), then they are likely to contribute to and justify the abuse.
Dehumanization is the intentional process through which we choose to consider others as less than human and therefore not worthy of empathy or moral care.
We tend to minimize the seriousness of dehumanization when we see it in ordinary life among our acquaintances or relatives, especially among those without a great deal of power over others. But the poison of it seeps through the whole culture, and terrible things happen when a little power is added to the mix.
These may well be commonplace conclusions, but it strikes me that if they are, we have neglected what should be a shared commitment for all of us who are hoping for a better world: we must never give authority to those who dehumanize anyone. There will always be some who find ways to grasp power, but we should never allow them legitimate authority. Power and dehumanization are too toxic of a mix. When there is evidence of an individual’s or group’s dehumanization of any category of people – whether based on ethnic/racial grounds, sexual/gender differences, or socioeconomic/political differences – we must never consent to their authority at any level. They should never teach our children, pastor our churches, lead community organizations, judge in our courts or, heaven forbid, govern our nations.
Is this setting the bar too high? Perhaps too many of us would be excluded by such a standard? If that is true, we need to start by holding each other, friends and family, accountable so that we honestly stop considering anyone as less than human.

Considered as the cradle of Italian culture. Tuscany is a region rich in resources and beauties, both artistic and natural. Here, the Val di Chiana constitutes one of the largest Apennine valleys with its 500 km² of crops. There are numerous routes set up to explore this fantastic valley among which we find:
A path of about 65 km between cultivated fields and places of rare beauty. Here are the famous Lake of Chiusi and the Natural Reserve of Lake Montepulciano.
The route takes up the ancient medieval route that united the two castles of Torrita and Montefollonico.
A ring route that allows you to cross fields cultivated with wheat and reach the historic castle of “Castelluccio”. The latter was once a bulwark of the Republic of Siena on the border with the Papal State.
This fantastic route allows you to reach the Renaissance monastery of Sant’Anna. It is known for having been chosen as the setting for the film “The English Patient”. This film was directed by Anthony Minghella and won 9 Academy Awards in 1997.
A fantastic tour that allows you to reach the summit of Monte Cetona in 2/3 hours. From here it is possible to enjoy a fantastic panorama. In fact, on clear days, as well as having a beautiful view over the whole Val di Chiana, it is possible to see Assisi, Perugia and the Val d’Orcia dominated by the imposing Monte Amiata. The Val di Chiana also hosts numerous and important cities among which Arezzo and Chiusi stand out.
This fantastic city gave birth to the great poet Francesco Petrarca. It also houses the Medici fortress built by Cosimo I in the early decades of 1500. The latter represents a clear example of medieval architecture.
It was one of the most important cities of antiquity especially in the Etruscan period that characterized much of central Italy. From here, in fact, Porsenna Lucumone Etruscan moved against Rome to support Tarquinio the Superb after the establishment of the Republic. A fascinating city both for its suggestive landscapes and for its history.

The funeral was in full swing and the celebrant was midway through that thing about life being a river that gets wider and wider when his phone went off in his trousers pocket. He furtively squeezed it into silence as he stumbled on. It may have been something by Kahlil Gibran. The phone shrilled out once more. Again, he stilled it. When it went off for the third time he pulled it from his pocket and addressed the caller. “I can’t speak to you now, I’m in a funeral.”
Reader, it really happened.
Yes, there’s a full spectrum of secular celebrants out there. Some are the best it gets, some are sub-prime — and an awful lot are blameless.
What’s more, there’s a heck of a lot of them. They’re all competing for work and it’s getting a bit beastly what with all the wheedling and undercutting and general unseemly jostling.
There used to be just four tribes of celebrants, the Humanists, the Civils, the green fusers and the Association of Independent Celebrants. Now there’s also the Fellowship of Independent Celebrants, the County Celebrants Network, the Scottish Independent Celebrant Association and the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants. I’ve probably missed one. They’re all training new recruits of whom, in this bad economy, there is no shortage.
There’s market saturation in some areas.
Does it matter? I used to think that Darwinian forces would kill off the less good while the excellent would drive up demand for secular funerals by the example of their work. There are still a lot more religious funerals than the churchgoing figures would seem to explain, so there is theoretically a rich seam to be worked.
It doesn’t necessarily seem to be happening, the Darwinian thing. There may well be people who have been so underwhelmed by indifferent secular funerals they’ve been to that they’re turning back to the Church as the lesser of two evils. And let’s not be disparaging about ministers. There may be some below par ones out there, but there are also masses of excellent ones.
Some funeral directors will only let the very best celebrants anywhere near their families. Others will take the first one who’s free on Thursday at 2.30.
Perhaps the message to the very best is that you don’t need to be that good, spend all that time, invest all that emotional energy. Perhaps there is very little perceived difference between good enough and good as it gets. We note that no funeral director yet has sought to take the very best celebrant in his/her area out of the market by offering them a salary based on, say, three funerals a week. Perhaps a really good celebrant doesn’t make them look that good.
No one wants to feel like a scavenger fighting for scraps. So the very best celebrants, they’re just going to walk away, aren’t they? And that’s either a shame — or it doesn’t really matter all that much.
Do tell me I’m wrong.

lābho jīveta yāvatā
nārtho yaś ceha karmabhiḥ
One should not strive much for sense-enjoyment and gain, a human being is meant
for inquiry about Absolute Truth thus no other duties should be the goal of one’s life.
In the Padma Purana in is explained that there are 8,400,000 species of living beings and therefore getting a human birth itself is very rare. If a person misuses his rare human birth, he is sure to be dragged down to the lower species of life and thus lose the ability to inquire about the real meaning of life. Only in the human birth one has the sufficient intelligence required to inquire about the Supreme Truth and end the vicious cycle of birth and death.
We have seen that many people are simply engaged in sense enjoyment and therefore spent most of their time in earning profits or involving themselves in unnecessary engagement. We should perform our required duties in order to maintain our livelihood, but these are not the goal of one’s life. The goal of life should be, how to get out of this material world of misery, where birth,death, old age and disease are rampant. We can start by simply chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra with sincerity and faith, this will unlock the treasures of inquiry unto the Supreme Absolute Truth.

Chanel jewelry was launched in the 1930's by Coco Chanel. Her first inspiration was the constellations. While her clothing designs were mostly sleek and subtle in design and color, her jewelry was bold and theatrical. Coco Chanel loved pearls and was famous for wearing numerous long strands at a time.
The vintage Chanel jewelry we feature is authentic and brand new. The pieces are from the 1990s and 2000s and were part of our Chanel Boutique, which closed in 2010.
They are exceptional classic pieces and would enhance any wardrobe.
There are no returns on jewelry items.

National Diabetes Awareness Month
By Shay Holbrook, RN, BSN, CDCES
November is a crucial time to raise awareness regarding diabetes, a chronic health condition that affects more than half a billion people worldwide. This year, the focus of World Diabetes Day on November 14th is access to diabetes care. Our clinic is proud to emphasize the importance of increasing access to care and education to help improve the lives of those living with diabetes in our local and surrounding communities.
Gothenburg Health is excited to offer a special on direct access testing (DAT) of A1C for only $10 on Tuesday, Nov. 28 and Thursday, Nov. 30th from 8:00-11:00. DAT is completed in the laboratory of Gothenburg Health, and the cost of the test will be collected the day the sample is retrieved.
Diabetes testing and care is important as this enables people to act early and improve their overall health and wellbeing. It’s important to know your risk factors, such as obesity, physical inactivity, age, or family history of diabetes. According to Healthaware.com, people who have diabetes are more likely to adapt to lifelong lifestyle changes, such as eating healthier and exercising, after they are aware of their diabetes diagnosis. These simple, yet effective changes, can prevent or delay acute or chronic complications associated with diabetes. Annual exams as well as follow up appointments with primary care providers and certified diabetes care and education specialists are important to ensure patients are well on their way to maintaining their health and wellbeing.
Diabetes diagnoses can be daunting and overwhelming, but Gothenburg Health has the resources and trained support to ensure patients are set up for success in their diabetes care. At Gothenburg Health, we take pride in providing access to diabetes care and education as well as timely treatment and management options. Most importantly, knowing one’s risk of type 2 diabetes and the impact of diabetes related complications is the focus not only in November, but every month for patients with diabetes.
Recently, Gothenburg Health received accreditation to present Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support to current patients and referrals from surrounding communities and providers. This accreditation and participation in the education has shown improved A1C levels, improved blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and increase in medication adherence.
Join us in the 2023 Diabetes Awareness Month campaign of “Know your risk, Know your response.” For more information, contact Shay Holbrook at email@example.com or 308-537-1009.

A lot of thought and time has gone in to this discussion paper, but for it to have effect, there will have to be delivery programmes around the themes identified. These delivery programmes will identify the outcomes and then appropriate policies will be developed and implemented to deliver the outcomes.
As mentioned under the Career Opportunities theme, there is scope to take forward work in this area more quickly than in some others. In order not to lose time, we recommend that a delivery programme be put in place as soon as possible to deliver a Rural Skills Action Plan. Work is already under way on identifying the industry's needs for 2018/19 and planning student numbers and funding arrangements. We encourage the government to move quickly on this so as not to miss a year.
For the other issues where we envisage longer timescales, we would like to invite anyone with an interest - whether representing an organisation or as an individual - to comment on this interim discussion document and the themes we have identified.
Please send your comments to:

Volume one gives focus to the era from Plainchant to Johann Sebastian Bach. This first volume within Music for Voice for Music Theory classes is suitable for beginner vocalists, with a preface given by Olivier Messiaen. This first volume includes works by Bach, Couperin, Handel, Gluck, Lully and Montverdi, among other famous composers. For all vocalists seeking to better understand the history and context of the music they address, Holstein, Level and Louvier's Music for Voice for Music Theory classes ensures a necessary understanding.”

So with summer fast approaching, many people are now beginning to think about university and packing up. You might have accounted for most things, such as bedding, clothes and school supplies, but I have come up with a list of absolute essentials that I could not live without this year!
- Hangers for clothes. You won't have much space at uni, so hanging up as many clothes as you can, not only keeps them nice, but saves you lots of space.
- Socks. Especially if you are doing a course involving heavy use of wellies. It can get cold in wellies over the winter and socks are also great at preventing blisters!
- Extension cables. These are lifesavers. My room only has four outlets and they're all on one side of the room. Not only do extension cables allow me to use things in my bed, but it also means I can plug in more things (for example, my phone charger, lamp and alarm clock are all plugged into the extension cable near my bed). Just make sure they are brand new cables (keep the receipt!) or have them PAT tested before arriving.
- Earplugs. This is gonna sound obvious, but the SU is very loud, loud enough to damage your ears. Ear plugs can help stop you from damaging your ears by reducing how much noise reaches your eardrums. And, if you're the type of person who does not like loud noises, these can help reduce the ambient noise of people whilst you're trying to sleep. Alternatively, you could try noise-cancelling headphones!
- Mini fridge. Oh my gosh, a mini fridge. There is very limited space in the provided fridges, especially in some of the catered accommodation. Mini fridges allow you to keep your stuff in your room for a quick snack, chill drinks or even an ice lolly or two, without the risk of it being pinched or contaminated!
- A good stock of medicine. FRESHERS FLU IS REAL AND YOU WILL GET IT! Along with a few other sicknesses in all likelihood. Having paracetamol, ibuprofen, cold medicines, and a whole host of over the counter medication will be your friends.
- Tea, coffee, and biscuits. Very important for introducing yourself to your new flatmates when you move in, and a great way to make friends! It's also nice to have a cuppa before bed in your own time.
- Things you enjoy in your own personal time. This is SO important. You need things to relax otherwise you burn out incredibly quickly. Additionally, join a club or society that fits in for a bit of a break from studies.
I hope these items help and have given you a few extra ideas about what to bring. Have a great rest of your summer!

More than 40 Year 11 students from across the West Midlands have had a hands-on taster of what it could be like if they went to university after spending three days at Harper Adams.
The Summer School, part of the Government’s Aim Higher scheme takes place at a range of universities across the region.
Sixteen-year-olds who are thinking of going on to university apply and are assessed by Aim Higher, which then allocates them to an institution.
This week, 42 students spent time at Harper Adams, living in student halls and taking part in lectures, presentations and student union life.
The three-day residential experience aims to show the Year 11s what the life of a student would be like - going to classes, meeting new people and getting involved in many social activities.
It costs nothing for the students to attend and all accommodation, transport and food is provided free of charge.
Amer Hamid, 16, from Handsworth in Birmingham, spent time at Harper Adams. He said: “After the Summer School I know I want to come here and do adventure recreation. I didn’t know anything about uni-life before I came.
“I wanted to try it because I thought I would have a new experience and I’ve made loads of friends and really enjoyed it. I don't want to leave.”
Aaliyh Spencer, 16, from Nechells in Birmingham, said: “I am now seriously thinking about coming to university, I want to do law so I need to get a degree. I will be the first in the family to go to university.”
School friend Kasia Sromala, who attends Holy Trinity in Small Heath, also wants to study law. The 16-year-old from Bordesley Village in Birmingham said: “We learned about the Summer School experience through our school and I’m really pleased I’ve done it. It’s been really fun, not boring at all.”
Jane Batchelor has been co-ordinating the Summer School at Harper Adams for the past six years. She said that the youngsters had taken part in Animal Health and Welfare, Great Outdoors and ‘Apprentice Dragons’ (business management) lectures during their three days.
The teenagers also took part in ice-breaker activities, a bowling and laser quest evening and a formal dinner/dance and disco as well as practical sessions, lectures and presentations about what they had learned.
Jane said: “I think the Summer School is fantastic and really increases young people’s communication skills and confidence.
“They make friends with each other and the Harper Adams student ambassadors and they really start to ask the questions that are pertinent to them and there are people to ask questions to get answers.
“This is not about getting students to come to Harper Adams, but about giving them an university experience and showing them it’s not scary. They get to try out the halls, visit the library, go to lectures, make friends, all before they do it for real.”
Summer Schools are funded by the Higher Education Funding Council (HEFC).

New legislation aimed at helping companies survive the coronavirus pandemic
The UK government recently published its Corporate Insolvency and Governance Bill which had its first reading in Parliament on 20 May 2020. The Bill aims to help companies maximise their chances of survival of this pandemic, protect jobs and support the UK’s economy overall. The legislation is expected to be fast-tracked through Parliament and implemented into law quickly.
Whilst some of the measures contained in the Bill have been on the horizon for a while, others have been introduced primarily to cater for the current pandemic. The key measures included in the Bill are as follows:
Corporate entities as well as charitable organisations will be permitted to hold meetings in ways aligned with the current social distancing rules (updated government guidance can be found here). These measures will be in place retrospectively for the ‘relevant period’ (from 26 March 2020 until 30 September 2020) with the government having the option to extend the date until 5 April 2021.
During the relevant period, it will be permissible:
- for members meetings to be held and votes cast by electronic means, regardless of what is stipulated in the entities’ constitution; and
- If the constitution requires that an AGM ought to be held on a date which falls within the relevant period, the meeting can be postponed until 30 September 2020.
Companies struggling to continue to trade and likely to become insolvent as a result can obtain a 20 business day moratorium period which will allow viable businesses time to restructure or find new investment.
To obtain this, the directors of the company will need to make a statement that the company is unable to pay its debts and that a moratorium for the company would allow it to be rescued as a going concern.
The directors will be able to extend the initial 20 business day moratorium for an additional 20 business days if they file a notice and accompanying documents at court. Any extension of the moratorium beyond 40 business days will require the consent of the creditors or the court.
Supplier termination clauses
The Bill will prohibit all suppliers from stopping supplies by reason of the company’s insolvency if the supplies continue to be paid for. The Bill will also prevent suppliers from amending the contractual terms allowing them to increase payments.
Companies House filing requirements
Extensions of time have already been offered to companies but the Bill allows the Secretary of State to temporarily make further extensions to deadlines. The extended period for the requisite filing must not exceed:
- 42 days, in cases where the existing period is 21 days or less, and
- 12 months, in cases where the existing period is for maximum of 3.6 or even 9 months.
We think this Bill will be welcomed by corporate entities in the UK. It will assist companies (and charitable organisations) in maximising their chances of survival of the economic uncertainty brought about by the coronavirus pandemic as well as assisting in protecting the UK economy.

When a job becomes too demanding, when you’re getting ready for a significant shift in your life, or even just when you’re stopped in traffic, everyone goes through it from time to time. When you begin to experience an increase in mental strain, your adrenal glands will begin to secrete stress chemicals, namely cortisol. These things set off a response in the neurological system known as the “fight-or-flight” reflex, which was initially developed to defend you against a real and present physical threat. It may be helpful in the short term while you’re in the middle of a stressful event. But, if it’s activated in your day-to-day life, it may have serious health effects for your physical health. The only answer may be consulting the Orange County rehab.
Have you ever confided in a friend or family member that you were so anxious that you were tearing your hair out? That is a true ailment that affects certain people. It’s called trichotillomania, and it can happen when a person’s stress levels are so high that the only way to find relief is by pulling out his or her own hair from the scalp, face, or body. It can happen when a person’s stress levels are so high that the only way to find relief is by pulling out his or her own hair from the scalp, face, or body. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease in which the hair follicles are attacked by the immune system, which may be triggered by extreme emotional or physical stress. Alopecia areata is an involuntary kind of hair loss.
As stress hormones gradually deplete your body’s reserves of magnesium over time, magnesium deficiency may be one of the less well-known impacts that stress has on the body. A lack of magnesium may result in a number of unpleasant symptoms, including cramping in the muscles, constipation, lack of sleep, and even mental illness. Magnesium is a very important element for our systems. Magnesium is found in a wide variety of foods, and there are also over-the-counter tablets that may assist in restoring depleted levels. Reducing the stress in your day-to-day life is only one advantage of consuming magnesium-rich meals.
Johns Hopkins medical researchers have made a striking revelation in relation to the many sources of stress in one’s life: More than one third of patients who were sent to the hospital with seizures or epileptic sorts of episodes were in fact reacting to very high levels of stress, and they did not respond to the standard medicine that was given. These symptoms, which tend to strike people whose living circumstances produce an enormous amount of stress, have been given the name psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), which are also known as pseudo seizures.
Reduced capacity to attract
When you’re under a lot of pressure, the last thing that’s going to be on your mind is probably attempting to impress someone. A study conducted at Binghamton University found that female rats could sense the emotional state of male rats and were much less attracted to the ones who exhibited high levels of stress. This is probably a good thing because the study found that female rats were much less attracted to male rats who exhibited high levels of stress. Despite the fact that this research has not been conducted on people, it is likely preferable to concentrate on oneself while experiencing high levels of stress.
Additional problems with your reproductive system may be brought on by stress. Low libido is a common side effect of experiencing high amounts of stress. It’s even possible for males to have erectile dysfunction as a result of it. For women, stress may contribute to reproductive issues such as irregular menstrual periods or trouble conceiving a child. For males, stress can lead to difficulty falling asleep.
Loss of memory
It is natural to feel as if you can’t recall things when you are under stress; yet, the majority of the time, you attribute this sensation to the fact that there is so much going on in your life, which is often what causes the stress in the first place. Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have discovered that stress hormones might really have an effect on the synapses in our brains that are important for learning new information and remembering it. Surprisingly, when the patients of the study were relieved of their stresses, they were able to make greater use of their dendritic spines, which are the locations where synapses are found.

Its implementation may significantly enhance the survival rate and overall cardiac care standard, supporting CARDIAC RESUSCITATOR CORP.'s mission to optimize the potential for successful resuscitation.
The HEART*AID 1000 is a remarkable product in the category of cardiovascular devices: defibrillators.

This life-saving intervention is crucial in urgent circumstances, such as during ventricular fibrillation, a condition that can lead to cardiac arrest.
The device is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that constantly analyzes the heart’s electrical function. It identifies abnormal heart rhythms, specifically life-threatening ones such as ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, and responds swiftly. In the case of such an event, HEART*AID 1000 deploys an electric shock to restore the heart’s normal rhythm.
By delivering this critical i
How It Works:
Introduction to HEART*AID 1000
HEART*AID 1000 is a state-of-the-art defibrillator that falls under the category of Cardiovascular Devices. This innovative device operates by detecting and remedying life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
Before delving into the exact operational details of the HEART*AID 1000, it's crucial to understand that the underlying logic of this medical device relies on the delivery of a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the heart. This discharge depolarizes a critical mass of the heart muscle, reverting its rhythm back to normal, and effectively allowing the heart's natural pacemaker to resume its usual duties.
Key Components of HEART*AID 1000
HEART*AID 1000 consists of essentially two key components: the power source and the electrode pads.
- The Power source is a highly sophisticated, yet user-friendly unit that generates the proper electrical charge needed to bring the aberrant heart rhythm under control.
- The Electrode pads are used to safely administer the electrical current to the patient’s body. These adhesive pads are placed on the patient's chest, thereby facilitating the transmission of the critical pulse of electrical energy to the heart.
Functionality of HEART*AID 1000
Upon detecting an irregular heart rhythm, the HEART*AID 1000 springs into action. Its built-in algorithm determines the appropriate level of shock needed to restore normal rhythm. Once the level is preset, it charges its internal capacitor to the required voltage.
When the charge is ready, the provider can administer the shock. This electrical discharge is safely delivered through the electrode pads placed strategically on the patient’s chest. The energy jolts the heart's electrical conduction system, effectively resetting it and allowing normal rhythm to be restored.
Throughout the process, the HEART*AID 1000 is specifically designed to ensure high precision, safety, and successful return to a normal heart rhythm.
Remember, a user wielding the HEART*AID 1000 should be adequately trained to interpret ECG rhythms, understand the principles of electrophysiology, and administer life-saving defibrillation care. This complex device, when appropriately used, can be instrumental in saving lives in dire cardiovascular emergencies.

Demi Moore is days away from her 61st birthday, but the star hasn't let her sixth decade of life dull her sparkle - or her penchant for a show stopping outfit, for that matter.
On Monday, Demi joined a fleet of stars at the 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City. Her timeless beauty was a spectacle as she donned a strapless tube dress by Carolina Herrera, embellished with thousands of mirrored sequins.
The 60-year-old style muse elevated her silhouette-skimming outfit with a CH Carolina Herrera 'Initials Insignia Soft' clutch and towering black heels.
Adding to her spellbinding ensemble, Demi wore her waist-length raven hair in a poker straight style. She defined her features with a soft blush, peachy lip and mocha-hued eye makeup to party with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian and Vanessa Hudgens.
It's not the first time this month the 'Ghost' actress has reigned supreme in the style stakes, having supported her close friend Salma Hayek at an event in Los Angeles last week.
Demi joined Salma's brother, Sami, to celebrate his new Frequency art exhibition at Christie's in Beverly Hills, looking serene in a fitted all-black ensemble.
The mother-of-three wore a ribbed midi dress that skimmed her incredible physique. It boasted long, cuffed sleeves, a round neckline, and delicate pleats along the hem.
Away from the spotlight, it's been a challenging few months for Demi as she processes her ex-husband Bruce Willis' declining health condition with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
Despite divorcing in 2000, the 'Die Hard' actor and 'G.I. Jane' star remain incredibly close after welcoming three children together during their marriage; Rumer, 35, Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 29.
In February 2023, Bruce's wife, his ex-wife Demi, and their three daughters, shared the difficult news that Bruce's health is declining. The five women explained in a joint Instagram post that the actor's aphasia diagnosis has sadly progressed into FTD.
"To Bruce's amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities," read a statement shared by Demi.
She continued: "As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him. This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support."
In May 2023, Bruce's daughter, Tallulah wrote in an essay for Vogue that his frontotemporal dementia "chips away at his cognition and behavior day by day".

Governor Ige calls off state furloughs, layoffs after President Biden signs $1.9T Covid-19 relief bill
March 11, 2021
Gov. David Ige today announced that furloughs and layoffs are no longer necessary now that President Joe Biden has signed the $1.9T American Rescue Plan, also known as the COVID-19 relief bill.
The sweeping pandemic relief package aims to defeat the COVID-19 virus and breathe life into the economy. The legislation means that the State of Hawaii and four counties will receive about $2.2 billion in assistance to bolster state and county budgets that have sustained significant tax revenue losses because of the pandemic.

Dear fellow travellers
Whether Frank Lloyd Wright was a great man is of course a matter for debate. He was certainly an interesting man and a very talented architect. Today is the 150th anniversary of his birth, but even in that bland detail there's a backstory.
Wright had a tremendous capacity to reinvent himself. He gave a Welsh veneer to his biography by changing his middle name from Lincoln to Lloyd and naming both his Wisconsin studio and his winter home in Arizona after the Welsh bard Taliesin. To be fair, Lloyd was his mother's maiden name, so there was a dash of Welsh DNA in Wright's blood. He was famously coy about his real age, often insisting that he was two years younger than he really was. So if FLW had his way we'd not be marking 150 years since his birth until 2019.
Frank Lloyd Wright is often seen as the quintessentially American architect, albeit one who was deeply influenced by early visits to Japan. Wright and Europe don't naturally go hand in hand. The one significant European project on which he embarked - namely the memorial house to Angelo Masieri on the Grand Canal in Venice - was never actually built.
We have a sense that Frank Lloyd Wright was never really comfortable in Europe. Whether it was devotees of Beaux-Arts in France or Constructivists in the Soviet Union, Wright didn't approve. Even when he had the chance to link up with his European contemporaries, he passed on the opportunity. When visiting Berlin in early 1910, having eloped with the wife of an American client, he missed the chance to meet Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier (who were at the time both working in the German capital).
But discerning travellers do often detect something of the Wright idiom in Europe. And few traveller-architects are more discerning than Gwyn Lloyd Jones. In a newly published book, Jones picks up on Wright's hidden legacy in Europe (and elsewhere outside North America). Travels with Frank Lloyd Wright: The First Global Architect was published last month by Lund Humphries, a London publishing house which has a special connection with Wright. It was Lund Humphries who in 1939 published the texts of Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark London lectures under the title An Organic Architecture.
In Travels with Frank Lloyd Wright, Gwyn Lloyd Jones ventures to some pretty obscure spots to showcase European buildings which have that distinctive FLW flair, emphasising the links between Wright and the originators of those structures. So he does go to Udine in Friuli to see the Casa Romanelli, designed by Masieri and Scarpa. Then he dips down to the Adriatic coast to see the Villa Spezzotti at Lignano Pineta. In England, he detects the clear influence of FLW in a number of houses in Warwickshire, all the work of English architect Robert Harvey. And is there not just a hint of Broadacre City in Milton Keynes?
As Gwyn Lloyd Jones implies in Travels with Frank Lloyd Wright, the temperamental American architect didn't always get on well in Europe. Shortly after his 70th birthday in June 1937, Wright visited Europe to attend an architectural congress in Moscow. The British architect Clough Williams-Ellis (another man born outside Wales who espoused Welsh connections) was also bound for the convention. The two men were booked on the same evening train from Berlin to Moscow.
Williams-Ellis, who had spent the afternoon in Potsdam, almost missed the train. He had been unexpectedly delayed, having taken refuge in a public lavatory to avoid having to salute a passing parade of Nazi soldiers. Despite that detour, Williams-Ellis made the train where he met FLW in the restaurant car. The two men had never met before. Just three hours out of Berlin, the two architects had barely finished dinner when their train arrived at Zbaszyn, in those days the Polish frontier station. Williams-Ellis was unfazed by the border formalities, but Wright adamantly refused to open his luggage for inspection. Williams-Ellis had to coax the petulant American who was set on turning around and heading back home. "You would rather turn back than have your shirts and socks inspected?" he asked. "You cannot possibly do anything so utterly silly."
So Frank Lloyd Wright continued on the train to Moscow where he received a warm welcome. A few days into the conference, Williams-Ellis recorded that Wright was favourably impressed. "These are the people. Theirs is the future," said Wright. It was surely one of the most positive comments that Frank Lloyd Wright ever made about Europe.
We take a more extended look at Frank Lloyd Wright's European connections in the upcoming issue of hidden europe magazine. Issue 52 is published on 11 July.

Can the 77425-1 DTM 2K Epoxy Primer be used over plastic or do I need to add a flex agent?
Yes. Unlike most Epoxy Primer the 2K Hybrid gives you the flexibility and sandability that the normal 2K Urethane primers offer. Any bare plastic areas should be properly cleaned and prepped.
What do I need to do for panels I have sanded that have exposed some small bare metal areas before priming?
It is always best to properly sand, clean and prep the bare metal areas before fully priming. You can use a metal pretreatment wipe on the bare metal before applying the primer. Also you can apply a light coat of self-etch primer on the bare metal, then fully prime with a 2K Urethane Primer.
Why does the 77165 Flat Clear still have a gloss?
Flat clearcoats have a matting agent in them that will settle in the bottom of the can quickly. Use a mixing stick to make sure you scrape the matting agent up from the bottom of the can and shake for at least 3 minutes prior to spraying.
Why does the 77165 Flat Clearcoat Activator 7102 say 'High Gloss Activator'?
77165 is a matted version of our high gloss clearcoat that uses the same activator.
What does DTM stand for regarding certain primer or single stage paints?
DTM stands for 'Direct to Metal' which means if your metal subsrate is properly sanded and cleaned the product will stick to it. It does not provide corrosion resistance.
Can High Teck seam sealers 9274 and 9275 be used on bare metal?
No, the High Teck seam sealers need to be applied over a cure and sanded primer or paint. Do not apply over bare metal.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dan Munyuza, on
Monday, July 11, received his Somali counterpart, Maj. Gen. Abdi Hassan Mahamed
at the Rwanda National Police (RNP) General Headquarters in Kacyiru and discussed
ways to further strengthen cooperation in various policing areas.
During the bilateral meeting, Munyuza expressed RNP's
commitment to further improve cooperation between the two law enforcement
institutions mainly through capacity building and exchange of experiences.
In 2011, RNP signed a Memorandum of Understanding with
Somali Police Force mainly in training. Since then, 11 Somali Police officers
have been trained in Rwanda, including six senior officers, who attended the
Police Senior Command and Staff Course and five at the Intermediate command
"This is an opportunity for us to discuss as we
endeavour to explore more areas of cooperation to include; sharing of
information and intelligence in fighting international organized crime, and
terrorism that continues to pose a threat to national, regional and
international security," IGP Munyuza said.
The visit, he added, paves way to establish more formal
collaboration channels through which communication will be much easier
especially while sharing information on matters of security.
"We are happy to share with you our policing
experience. Rwanda National Police remains committed to cooperate with Somali
Police Force for the mutual benefit of our countries’ safety and
security," Munyuza reiterated.
On his part, the Police Commissioner for Somali Police Force
(SPF), Maj Gen Abdi Hassan Mahamed, acknowledged the RNP's "support in
promoting security, peace-building and the rule of law."
"Historically, the Somali Police Force was founded in
1943 but collapsed in 1991 as all other institutions of our country...but was
re-established from scratch in the year 2000 after the reconciliation process
that was done in Djibouti”.
Today, after a long struggle and the re-establishment, we
can say that the Somali Police Force is functioning across the country to
deliver Police services to protect citizens and their property," Maj Gen
Over the last 15 years, Maj Gen Abdi said that the Somali
Police Force has upgraded its capacity and has gained experience in dealing
with terrorists and criminal networks.
He, however, added that although the new police force prides
itself for its trustworthy service to the public, the threat of Al-Shabaab
terrorists in the country and other transnational organized criminal networks
continue to evolve.
Increasing the number of senior officers in Police Senior
Command and Staff Course as well as tactical and junior officers, the Somali
Police Chief said, will impact the future transformation of Somali Police Force.
"Somali Police Force is committed and needs extensive
support from Rwanda National Police for its mandate and legal framework, which
will lead to a safer and secure nation without fear, intimidation, abuse,
violence or any other unlawful acts," Abdi said.
During his week-long official visit to Rwanda, Maj Gen Abdi will tour various
RNP facilities including departments and schools.

Lawrence Bishnoi interview: High court stays trial court proceedings
HC questions Punjab Police as to why a copy of the probe report was not supplied to it, which they have submitted in the trial court
Taking serious view of reports that the Punjab police have filed a “cancellation report” in the FIR registered on January 5 in connection with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s interview telecast by a private channel, the high court on Wednesday stayed the Mohali trial court’s proceedings in the case.
The high court bench of justice Anupinder Singh Grewal and justice Sudeepti Sharma, during the hearing on Wednesday, orally questioned the Punjab police as to why the court was not apprised of the outcome of the probe and also questioned why a copy of the probe report was not supplied to the court, which they have submitted in the trial court.
The scheduled hearing of the matter was on Tuesday during which the police had told the court that the final report had been submitted before the trial court. The court had even appreciated the efforts of the SIT headed by DG, Human Rights Commission, Prabodh Kumar.
However, as it came to light on Wednesday morning that six charges as mentioned in the FIR have been dropped and challan has been filed in only one offence of criminal intimidation on October 9 by the Punjab police, the hearing of the case, scheduled for October 28 was ordered to be preponed and case was taken up for hearing on Wednesday and all parties concerned were called in for hearing.
The court observed that the hearing of the matter took place on Tuesday when the head of the SIT had filed an affidavit. “In the affidavit, a self-contained note indicating the misconduct, negligence and dereliction of duty by the concerned officers had also been appended.”
“It has now come to our notice that cancellation report has also been filed before the JMIC, SAS Nagar, on 09.10.2024. However, it is perplexing to note that the said report was not furnished to this Court on 15.10.2024 when the matter had come up for hearing. The counsel for the State of Punjab has not been able to provide any satisfactory explanation with regard to the tearing hurry in filing cancellation report before JMIC, SAS Nagar,” the bench recorded while asking the counsel to seek necessary instructions by the adjourned date of October 28.
The court also directed the SIT head to file a copy of the investigation report. “In the meantime, we direct that further proceedings before the JMIC, SAS Nagar, be stayed,” the court ordered.
The controversy is about two interviews of the gangster telecast on March 14 and March 17, 2023, when he was in Bathinda jail. The Punjab Police had initially denied that these interviews took place within the state. Later, the SIT probe found that one of the interviews was conducted at Punjab Police facility in Kharar on the intervening night of September 3 and 4 in 2022 and the second interview was conducted in Rajasthan. The FIR in the second interview’s case has now been transferred to Rajasthan.
In the interviews, the gangster had claimed that he was not involved in the gruesome and broad daylight murder of prominent Punjabi singer, Sidhu Moose Wala, who was killed in 2022. He had also hinted at taking revenge from actor Salman Khan for allegedly hunting blackbucks in Rajasthan in 1998.
The matter had reached court in September 2023 when it took suo motu note of these interviews observing that such interviews tend to glorify crime and criminals and could have an adverse effect on impressionable minds. Later, the interviews were deleted but the police had told the court that these interviews garnered 12 million views on YouTube. The FIR was registered following directions for the same from the high court in December 2023. The case has been probed by the SIT constituted by the high court.
The January 5 FIR included seven offences, 384 (extortion), 201 (concealment of evidence), 202 (intentionally withholding information about an offence), 506 (criminal intimidation), 116 (abetment of offences that are punishable by imprisonment.), 120-b(criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code and 52-A (1) of the Prisons (Punjab Amendment) Act, 2011. The final report filed in a Mohali court on October 9 includes only one Section 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC and only against Bishnoi, who was originally named in the FIR.

Germany 2021 Auto Show Will No Longer Be Hosted in Frankfurt
The Germany 2021 Auto Show will be coming with a few changes that were announced earlier this year. Frankfurt has been hosting the auto show for multiple years but for 2021, the organizers decided to move it to a different city.
While the decision to move the show to a different city may be surprising to some, it is easy to understand. The management of IAA stated that the auto show will be transitioning from automotive to a mobility platform. It will host more diversified means of transportation, intelligent traffic solutions, and other innovative concepts that are geared towards the needs of the people. To achieve this, the auto show was moved from Frankfurt to Munich.
Looking beyond the official statement, Munich is closer to the major German automakers. It is also a more natural choice since the city is considered more modern and easier to access for tourists. This brings up another problem that surfaced for the auto show. Last year’s Frankfurt motor show seen a decrease in attendance of 30%. The immediate reaction for the organizers of the Germany 2021 Auto Show is to move it to Munich.
Choosing Munich was not the only city of choice for the next German auto show. It was shortlisted along with Berlin and Hamburg. Given its proximity to all the major automakers, Munich was chosen in the end.
The decision to move the show location received positive reactions from automakers. BMW took it to twitter to express their approval for choosing Munich as the city to host Germany 2021 Auto Show. Munich is the spiritual hometown of BMW. Despite the positive reactions, many automakers expressed their concerns over the costs of hosting such as show and if it is justified since the return on investment is not something to brag about. Other auto shows also experienced a downfall in attendance numbers. The Detroit motor show was rescheduled from January to June to attract more visitors so it is not surprising that the Germany 2021 Auto Show decided to make some changes to their event as well.
