"A theory is exactly like a box of tools. It has nothing to do with the signifier. It must be useful. It must function. And not for itself. If no one uses it, beginning with the theoretician himself (who then ceases to be a theoretician), then the theory is worthless or the moment is inappropriate. We don’t revise a theory, but construct new ones; we have no choice but to make others. It is strange that it was Proust, an author thought to be a pure intellectual, who said it so clearly: treat my book as a pair of glasses directed to the outside; if they don’t suit you, find another pair; I leave it to you to find your own instrument, which is necessarily an investment for combat." - Deleuze A website, a like a theory, like a book, is a tool. It is not representation, no a look inside or into depth. Nor is it performative, at least not in the sense that it produces a subject that it already assumes exists as it's interpolated object. A website is an aliveness machine, should be an aliveness machine, should short circuit and restart anew. At least that's what this here will try to do.

This is an STL file of Skull that has been repaired. The original Dicom data was from the Osirix image database (Phenix). I exported the STL file from the CT scan and post processed it in Meshmixer to correct the mesh defects. The original file was 115 mb with over 500,000 faces. I imported the STL file into Blender and used the decimation function to reduce the number of faces to less than 100,000. This file is free to use as long as credit for the original data is referenced back to Osirix.

Recruit the best students from around the world using Mobile engagement Institutions are striving hard to attract the best students from countries around the world in tune with new trends in higher education. A decade ago, the prime destination for higher education used to be the US or UK. Now, there are many other countries competing for international students, such as Australia, Germany, Netherlands, China, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland. They attract students with generous scholarships, cheaper tuition fees, and competitive courses all with an aim to increase student enrolment. What could be the International Student Recruitment strategies they adopt to achieve success? This blog post outlines the popular international student recruitment strategies. Read through till the end. Universities worldwide adopt direct and indirect means to promote their educational offering and student outreach. Students easily research these Universities in this hyper-connected world and then contact those in various ways. Education agents, recruitment fairs, and print advertisements have been the traditional recruitment channels adopted by Universities for International student recruitment. The traditional methods adopted by Universities may be a trusted source for parents and influencers, but are not necessarily what appeals to millennial students today who grow up with smartphones in today’s ‘notifications era’. Institution-branded Mobile App – A Game-Changer With effective digital marketing techniques, Universities can achieve their recruitment goals faster by reaching a larger audience. Once the first contact is established with a prospect, giving the prospect the opportunity to download an University or College branded mobile app could completely change the game for effective recruitment. Reach students on their everyday devices with personalised communication and instantly create an interest in your University. With the help of a mobile app, institutions can communicate and engage the prospect effectively, run campaigns with custom messages, and enhance brand visibility. Disseminate curated content, broadcast videos, and virtual campus tours to attract the right future students. The prospects also prefer to be guided by an advisor throughout the admissions management process, and communication through a mobile app will be handy for individual engagement. Of course, where a mobile app is not downloaded the student can still communicate via an applicant portal. Institutions, using a mobile app, can embellish their brand, exercise full control over their communication channel to the prospect, and reduce reliance on middlemen such as education agents while creating a flexible and customised admission process. It takes more than a generic page on the website to lure international student prospects in today’s crowded and noisy environment. It is going to be all about touching and nurturing that prospect or applicant in a timely fashion. Research reports say that 95% of the students who apply to Universities own smartphones. It is also reported that more than 80% of the students apply to at least three Universities. The differentiator could be an applicant mobile app for engaging conversations and easy application tracking. Benefits of having an Institutional Mobile App One of the best international student recruitment strategies every higher education institution should adopt is to have a mobile app in place for its stakeholders. The institutional mobile app can deliver more benefits like: - Persona-based targeted communication (example: domestic students, international students, online/hybrid students) - Interactive and engaging mode of communication - Custom messages and notifications - Virtual campus tours - Respond to enquiries quickly - Chat for engagement - Admission status tracking Institutions can become thought leaders and trail blazers by using today’s technologies and build a competitive edge to attract the right students. Internationalisation is becoming a prime goal for more and more Universities in an increasingly flat world offering a level-playing field. How can we help you engage your prospects with a Mobile App?

by Kiran Gobindram | Photo credits: Department of Computer Science, HKU | 27 June 2015 There was no dearth of innovation and determination in the five teams at the Department of Computer Science’s Final Year Project (FYP) competition held earlier this month. The competition is held annually in an attempt to showcase the outstanding projects by soon-to-be CS graduates, providing them with a platform to deliver their inventions and business ideas to a wider audience. Final year projects are a compulsory part of the assessment to graduate from the programme, but only the year’s best projects are invited to compete in this competition. All groups tried to incorporate ideas and techniques that went beyond their in-class knowledge. This was particularly evident in the champion group, which built a 3D-printed and smartphone-programmable Hexapod robot. The development of this robot required knowledge from all fields of engineering including mechanical and electrical, and it also incorporated elements from the fields of design and architecture. Digging deeper into the Hexapod The champion team – (from left) Ng Siu Lung, Sherman Lee Siu Man, Terry Yip Sit Wun (absent: Arrack Lai Chak Yui) | The vision and aim of this group was to enable the Hexapod to strengthen security and aid in rescue missions in the defense and safety sectors. Considering that earthquakes and other natural disasters have been striking more often all over the world, the group developed an interesting solution to make rescuing more efficient and successful. These mini robots will go underground and through tiny spaces to identify areas of danger and find appropriate solutions. In terms of architecture and design, the group used 3D printing to design the body and structure of the robot. 3D printing is not as simple as it sounds, as the amount of balance and force that is applied to the robot has to be carefully considered. Since all group members were Computer Science students with no background in Mechanical Engineering, they had to learn from scratch about SketchUp, a 3D modeling and printing software. The group went through several rounds of trial and testing before developing the perfect size, thickness, and structure of the robot. The finalized design has a plastic body with six legs and stabilizers attached behind them. The group was satisfied with their product only after completing nine strenuous months of designing! Their hard work was recognised by the judges as they were the only group that went beyond writing a proposal and prototyping. SecureDB: addressing the issue of security in the cloud Eric Lin (left) captured the first-runner up prize. | The first-runner up explored the common security issue of sharing highly confidential information on the cloud. Nowadays, cloud facilities make sharing and exchanging information a lot more convenient. But in such a sharing arrangement, security of information is not guaranteed. This often prevents companies from making maximum use of these facilities. Developed by Eric Lin, SecureDB is a new plan in which data is encrypted based on secret sharing. Data is separated into two shares, one is kept by the server and the other is kept by the user or client. To retrieve data, the party would need both shares of information. The advantage of SecureDB is that it will be able to process a wide range of queries efficiently and a greater cost is shared by the server. With a plan to transforming the research result into a mature product, Eric hopes to gain support from a wider community and be able to launch this idea into the technology market. The other three groups made tremendous efforts in their part. Their projects included the development of applications that connected preexisting devices such as Google Glass, an educational application that makes coding far more interesting, and a test-grading software for coding exercises that makes professors’ lives easier. These groups expect that their hard work will be recognized by business professionals and financial sources in order to receive funding to take their projects a step further and actually release their ideas into the world. Participants believe that this competition has allowed them to better understand and exchange technology-related information with their fellow classmates. Since some of the equipment and tech resources (like Google Glass) were outdated and time was limited, most groups believed they would have otherwise been able to expand their creations further. These groups expressed their strong will to inspire the incoming and current batches of Computer Science students and allow them to carry forward and develop on their current projects. TecHKU wishes this year’s graduates all the success in their future endeavours and congratulates them for their innovative projects and novel ideas!

Communication Skills To Succeed In Business Article by Nicky Lowe, Wits Plus Lecturer in Business Communication. By Wits Plus Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur South Africa, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. A Scientific American blog about the role of luck in success mentions the popularity of magazines such as Success, Forbes, Inc., and Entrepreneur and argues that we can learn to be successful by reading about successful people: There is a deep underlying assumption, however, that we can learn from them because it's their personal characteristics - such as talent, skill, mental toughness, hard work, tenacity, optimism, growth mindset, and emotional intelligence - that got them where they are today. This assumption doesn't only underlie success magazines, but also how we distribute resources in society, from work opportunities to fame to government grants to public policy decisions. We tend to give out resources to those who have a past history of success, and tend to ignore those who have been unsuccessful, assuming that the most successful are also the most competent. While not discounting the role that luck, or family inheritance and reputation might have in success, consider the massive role that good communication skills play in success. For example, if you cannot express yourself well, your proposal will be unsuccessful. If your business plan is full of grammar errors, then even if the financials add up, and you can show a past history of success, you are less likely to get the funding you're after. There are many daily examples where stronger communication skills would have made the difference between success and failure. If a junior data processor bypasses her line manager to ask another manager for help with entering a batch of data in a different format, but is not clear about the batch names, she is unlikely to be successful in getting her job done. Jumping ranks will not go down well in corporate hierarchies, for starters. Moreover, if she lacks the corporate know-how to avoid this faux pas once, she is likely to blunder several times, thus generating the impression that she is disloyal to her own line manager and not a valued team-player. On the other hand, the lack of clarity in her emails can very effectively be overcome by improving her business communication skills. Effective business emails need to be short and to the point, with very specific detail, especially if a request or instruction is given. The reader cannot be expected to do anything if they do not know what is actually being requested. It may be a simple case of giving the label names of the data batches, as in this example, but often managers grumble about staff being incompetent or lazy when the problem is their own poor communication skills and inability to use email effectively. The best part of this solution is that it does not rely on luck. We all have the innate ability to improve our own communication skills. For those who want to improve their communication skills mindfully, there are short courses that take only a few hours a week for a couple of months that will give them insights into well researched theories and techniques so that they can apply these strategically in their personal and professional lives. In the reading about luck, talent is defined as "whatever set of personal characteristics allow a person to exploit lucky opportunities" and talent includes "intelligence, skill, motivation, determination, creative thinking, emotional intelligence". These skills are highlighted in the Wits Plus Effective Business Communication short course to equip our students to make the most of opportunities. Studies have shown that the most talented people are not the most successful in life, but that luck and opportunity may play an unseen role in that success. Excellent communication skills are key to making the most of opportunities and breaking through to success!

If Wishes Were Horses…We would all ride our dream horse wouldn’t we? We would all ride our dream horse wouldn’t we? So, what would your dream horse look like? What would this dream horse be able to do? What would you like to feel confident doing with your dream horse? Be specific and let your imagination run wild. After all it is your wish list, your dream horse! What if I were to tell you that you could have this dream horse and he might even be the one you have right now? If you can dream it, clicker training can help you make it happen. Now, think about the horse you have. What would make this horse your dream horse (assuming he isn’t already)? And what would you change about his behaviour, to make you feel confident; doing anything you’d dream of doing with him? Most of us would say “I don’t like it when my horse …” When we look at behaviours most of us tend to focus on the things we don’t like. I want you to take all those don’t likes and rephrase then into positive statements for your wish list. “I’d love my horse to stand still when I get on” or “I’d love my horse to run to me from the far end of his pasture.” Clicker training is about developing a great relationship with your horse. If you have that great relationship your horse will be eager to come and play and learn with you. Clicker teaching (I like the word teaching these days more than training as I think it has more of the cooperative feel to the relationship that we want) helps you to think outside the box and be creative. I’m old and lazy, so I like to have my horses help me out as much as possible so I get creative. Here is a video of one of my students and her horse at the mounting block. They are not quite to the final stages of the dream horse at the mounting block image, but they are well on their way. With this video I wanted to show you some ‘out of the boxstall type thinking’ that goes along with clicker training. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a horse behave like Kathleen’s at the mounting block? My horse, Icaro, can be turned loose in the arena and when I go and stand on the mounting block he will come over and align himself with the mounting block until my outstretched hands touch the horn and cantle of the saddle. Why? Because that is a behaviour I want MY dream horse to do. You might want your dream horse to do different things than I want my dream horse to do and that is just fine. YOU are the one who needs to like what your horse does, no one else. And you are the one who needs to like the way you are teaching your horse. Lots of people do not understand the scientific basis for clicker training and will tell you that you will ruin your horse if you hand feed which can happen if you do not teach rules around food. I’ll leave you with the assignment of making up that dream list and hope you will join me next week when we will continue the journey to get you your dream horse. I’d love you to share some of the things on your dream horse wish list so that I can be sure to cover them in the weeks to come. My wish for you and your horse is that you have positive, fun interactions in the coming year, and for the rest of your relationship. Try clicker training and see where it takes you. It could be your best year ever. If the past year’s relationship hasn’t been so good what have you got to lose? If I can help you get there, by helping you make your wish list, or figuring out where to start, well that is one of the wishes on my list. Please e-mail me if you would like help. My wish is to help more people enjoy their relationship with their horse and for their horse to enjoy their relationship with their person. My wish is for everyone to smile, laugh and enjoy their horses half as much as I do each and every day. I wish you all the best for a ‘ven’ 2011*. *Check out the Poisoned Cue DVD with Jesus Rosales-Ruiz of the University of North Texas to learn about ven and punir and the poisoned cues that we all have. This is a very informative lecture for anyone, not just riders. Quite an eye opener! Put it on your wish list, too!

This post was written by Pierre from The Brew Journal in partnership with the Morning Machine and Espresso Gear. I’m going to let you in on a little secret. When I first started drinking coffee 14 years ago, I wanted an easy way to make decent coffee while I was studying for my year 12 exams, and a pod machine was the clear choice. At the time I knew nothing about speciality coffee. For me the jump from instant coffee to fresh espresso with a pod machine was already huge leap forward! Pod machines have served as the gateway into coffee for years. Many of us can recall either buying a pod machine for home, or using pods in the office to make coffee. So today we’re going to dive a little deeper into the evolution of Pod machines! A Brief History The very first pod machines were developed in the 1980’s by Nestlé. Inspired by a trip to Italy🇮🇹 and it’s famous espresso culture, the pod machine was designed to replicate the function of an espresso machine in a simple and accessible way - Hot water, under pressure, pushed through finely ground coffee. It took a while for the market to open up to this new technology… even though the first pod machines were developed in the 80’s, they didn’t really become popular until the 2000’s! By the early 2010’s the Nestlé patents began to expire, opening up the market and giving any roaster the chance to make pods compatible with Nestlé’s pod machines. This market expansion co-incided with the rapid growth of speciality coffee all over the world, and by the end of the 2010’s the a wide range of speciality roasters around the world offered pods as a part of their coffee line-up. There was just one small problem… speciality coffee requires a bit more care when brewing than classic Italian espresso, and the pod machines on the market struggled to deliver a high quality product to match the high quality coffee inside the pods. Until just recently… Introducing Morning☕️ Founded in 2020, the Morning Machine’s goal has been to deliver a pod machine that has the capabilities to match the needs of specialty coffee pods. Just like the originalpod machines were designed to replicate the espresso machines of the era, the Morning Machines aim to replicate modern espresso machines and the technology available to bring out the potential of high quality pod coffee at home. This proved to be a big need in a market where the demand for speciality coffee was growing, but pod technology was lacking - as Morning was fully funded on kickstarter within 2 days of launch! And it’s no wonder why: key features like temperature control, pressure profiling, and weight based brewing are all at the user’s fingertips to help get a perfect brew every time. Finally it’s possible to have the control that you would expect from a high end commercial espresso machine, in an accessible and easy to use format! For those just starting out on their coffee journey, there are even tailored recipes created by the roasters themselves to help replicate the perfect recipe for their pods! You can taste the coffee as it was intended. A new world of speciality coffee is now here and it’s available for everyone! Just as the original pod machine has been the gateway to coffee for so many people over the years, the Morning Machine is the new gateway to speciality coffee with its seamless connection to the Morning Mobile App, and featuring all the tools needed to make the most of the high quality speciality coffee.

Retirement refers to when one leaves an active profession and working life behind, often after age 60 or when no longer capable of work. People generally retire due to various reasons, including health conditions, relaxation, or aging in general – such as retiring due to incapacity. People typically enjoy peaceful retirements to focus on maintaining health without worrying about expenses such as hospitalization costs; for this purpose, older individuals need to have active personal health insurance in retirement. What’s on this page? Retirement Health Plans Offer Many Advantages; Let’s Briefly Review Them Now. No Need to Break FDs/ Sell Properties: Most individuals do not wish to risk their money when entering old age; thus, they typically invest their savings in Fixed Deposits as these have the lowest risks. Other people invest in properties, including flats and houses, which can only be quickly converted to cash at certain points during ownership. Without proper health insurance protection plans during retirement, one would need to break Fixed deposits or sell properties due to unexpected medical emergencies, so having such coverage now would prove highly advantageous. An appropriate health insurance plan would fully meet all your insurance needs. Any excess funds can be paid out-of-pocket as copayments under your health plan. No Dependence on Children: No one likes being dependent upon others for their medical needs. Relying solely upon children for your healthcare is impractical and may lead to emotional discomfort; their salaries might not cover your health insurance expenses every time, so either they could purchase one on your behalf, or in the retirement phase, you could purchase your policy as it can decrease reliance upon them for coverage. A personal health plan reduces dependency. Your children might only sometimes be within easy reach when it comes to attending to any emergency medical needs that arise, which makes having personal health insurance plans helpful in relieving some of this pressure on them. A cashless hospitalization facility could eliminate having to incur expenses yourself before having them reimbursed by the insurance company. Most retirees seek peace and serenity once they stop work or family commitments, yet is retiring worthwhile if there’s no lasting peace after retirement? Constantly considering healthcare expenses can create an atmosphere in which it becomes impossible to enjoy life fully, with colleagues or people your age being admitted to hospitals regularly and you being subjected to unnecessary stress as you witness their hospital admissions. Without health insurance, you might become subject to chronic anxiety during old age or after retirement, adversely impacting your mental and physical well-being. You could live an unworkable existence free from healthcare worries with proper protection. Counter Medical Inflation: Medical inflation refers to increased medical expenses over time, typically rising 14% yearly in India – far and away the highest among Asian countries. Countering it requires suitable health insurance in old age – no investment can guarantee returns of 14% each year for countering it! Imagine having surgery today that costs Rs 10 Lakh but could cost an extra Rs.1.4 Lakh next year due to inflation! Can inflation have such an enormous effect on lives – an extra amount equivalent to an extra year’s income being lost each year? That’s inflation at work: every additional amount adds up. Keep the medical inflation of the country in mind when increasing your sum insured from time to time; otherwise, upgrading it comes with various conditions attached that include waiting period applicability for the increased amount and no claim bonus being calculated separately on the new sum insured, etc. Covers Diagnostic Tests: Most health insurance plans provide free annual medical exams as part of a claim-free year, including diagnostic testing such as urine or blood exams. As you age, your need and frequency for tests should increase yearly to detect major illnesses early. With health insurance plans offering these tests for free under their policies, this preventive health check could save money! Undergoing such tests is beneficial both to the insured and their insurance carrier. Personal health insurance during retirement offers numerous advantages that ensure peace of mind for individuals. Retiring should be about relaxing with loved ones without worrying about health issues; to get more information on which plan would suit you best, book a call with Ethika Insurance Broking’s experts, who are happy to guide and assist depending on their requirements.

Bright garnet color and deep, intense nose of watermelon, mint, fresh violets and stony minerality. The palate is full of sucrosity with a full body, lifted acidity and firm velvety tannins of rare grace for a wine with this power. Perfectly integrate oak and a stern finish as expected from a Barolo made for the long haul. This is a more strict and controlled wine than the classico, with earth, spice and bark notes underpinning the delicate rose petal and raspberry leaf perfume. The texture is haunting and silky at first, and then it inverts, and you sense the elemental raspiness of the skins. There is light and shade, silkiness and emery board tension, and the fruit is gloriously restrained but extraordinarily persistent. It is densely flavoured but not heavy and seemingly held together with light and not heat! This is a textbook reflection of this remarkable plot of land (on sand and magnesium soils), and it is designed for ‘expert’ palates and those obsessed with this estate. It is a wine of contrasts, equal and opposite, and as the drama unfolds, the fascination grows.

13 December 2024 Scamacca on pressure and wearing the number 9 shirt The Atalanta forward had an exceptional end to his season: “We are a young group and a new cycle has begun. It took some time to extract our strength: it will come out at the Euros”Thursday, June 13, 2024 The number 9 shirt is that of the striker, who is expected to score and make an entire nation celebrate. This year at EURO 2023, the number 9 will be worn by Gianluca Scamacca: after the Europa League win with Atalanta and an extraordinary end to his season in general (six goals in the league alone since the end of March), the Roman centre-forward is one of Italy’s great hopes. He spoke: “We are a young group and a new cycle has begun. It took some time to extract our strength. We are ready for it to come out at the Euros. I am doing well, I hope to help the squad and go as far as possible. I’d like to follow in the footsteps of the European Champions in 2021 and the World Cup winning group of 2006: they left a mark on history, I’d like to do that too”. It all begins with Albania on Saturday at 21:00 CEST in Dortmund. Scamacca admits: “It will be a difficult game, at this point in the competition every opponent is hard to face and every side deserves to be here. We need to focus on ourselves and remain as calm as possible”. Scamacca will be faced with Atalanta teammate Djimsiti, “a good defender, tough”. But Scamacca is also proving himself to be tough, this is his first big tournament with the senior Azzurri after coming up through the youth sector: “I hope to bring positivity and everything I have learnt, and score. If I am here it’s thanks to Gasperini, who this year has helped me and managed to strike the right chord for things to click. I owe him a lot: I wasn’t in the USA with the National team in March, and I deserved not to be called up. By calling me ‘lazy’, Spalletti motivated me. I will try to help the team: what counts is winning, scoring or getting assists less so”. The number 9 is also synonymous with pressure: “Good players are under pressure. If that’s how it is, I prefer to be pressured, like how having eyes on you is a good thing. Last year didn’t go so well because of my injured meniscus and I also had some issues at the start of this season. Then, I gained faith, and enthusiasm and got into a rhythm and played consistently: every day is a battle”. Next up: Albania.

Meet the Team Dedicated & Qualified I joined the established team at Findon Village Preschool 2022, becoming preschool manager in January 2023. I have a level 3 in childcare and education, a degree in Education and a PGCE in primary education with QTS. I have worked with children in a variety of age ranges, specialising in supporting children with special educational needs. I am the SENCo at our preschool and am a qualified peadiatric first aider. I believe that children’s learning and development is supported through free play and structured learning opportunities both indoors and outside. I have a four year old daughter who I love spending time with and watching her learn and grow. I have worked in Early Years for over 14 years, beginning my journey as an apprentice and working through all job roles until I reached management status. I hold a Level 3 in Childcare as well as being a Paediatric First Aider. I managed a preschool in West Sussex for 5 years up until having my second child and am so pleased to have now landed at Findon Village Woodland Preschool in 2024. It is an exciting time for the preschool as we work towards the launch of Forest School which I am so looking forward to getting stuck into. I have a real interest in outdoor learning, seeing children getting muddy and splashing in puddles brings me a lot of joy. I love the warm, family-feel ethos at Findon Village Woodland Preschool, allowing children to be their true selves, learning through play, at their own pace, through their own individual interests and preferences. I am a firm believer that children will get ‘there’ in their own time if we give them the tools, experiences, support and care along the way. I also love working alongside parents, sharing advice and experiences (or just saying ‘yes, mine do that too!’) and building the connections between home and preschool. I have a 4-year-old and a nearly 2-year-old who keep me busy on the days I am not at preschool! I look forward to getting to know you and your children soon.

Okay, so that’s not exactly what it says in the New York Times story about the Euphrates River drying up. But it’s not that far off. The shrinking of the Euphrates, a river so crucial to the birth of civilization that the Book of Revelation prophesied its drying up as a sign of the end times, has decimated farms along its banks, has left fishermen impoverished and has depleted riverside towns as farmers flee to the cities looking for work.The poor suffer more acutely, but all strata of society are feeling the effects: sheiks, diplomats and even members of Parliament who retreat to their farms after weeks in Baghdad. The article itself is the standard, depressing reporting on the foolishness of man. But note the link to Revelation 16:12 on the Bible Gateway website (“The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”) It wasn’t me that put that in thereits in the original article on the website of the New York Times . Have I missed this before? Does the Times regularly link to Bible verses, or was this added to help readers recognize the impending apocalypse? Maybe the web editors at the Times have been reading Tim Lahaye novels (or Rene? Girard essays ). Whatever it is I’ll assume it was a fluke. But if I open their newspaper tomorrow to read an report about three evil spirits that look like frogscoming out of the mouth of a dragon and it includes a link to Revelation 16:13, I’m gonna start freaking out. My entire worldview will have been upended. Not because the apocalypse is upon usas Girard says, it’s already here but because it will mean that someone at the NYT has read more than one verse from the Bible . My brain isn’t prepared to comprehend that possibility. While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick. Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million? Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible. How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support. Make your year-end gift now using this secure link or the button below.

Paving the Way for Community-led Initiatives on Flinders Island Flinders Council Mayor, Rachel Summers, believes that The Islander Way project has laid the foundations for a transformative future for Flinders Island. “In recent years, the need to redefine tourism on the Island has gained significant momentum. This was driven by a series of events that led to an unease within the community. In response, Flinders Council embarked on an innovative project called ‘The Islander Way’ to explore a different, regenerative approach to the Island’s visitor economy.” Funded by the Department of State Growth, the Council engaged ‘Designing Tourism’ a Tasmanian-based company who specialises in regenerative tourism, to undertake the 2-year project. During this time, the local community was invited to co-design the future of tourism on the Island; a future that respects community values, contributes to a resilient economy and takes responsibility for the impact of tourism on the natural environment. The community contributed more than 1000 hours to a process of deep engagement and discussion. Chair of Visit Northern Tasmania, Paul Seaman noted that, “a key pillar of the current and future visitor economy strategy for Tasmania is ‘positive impact’ tourism; regenerative tourism supports this strategy. Through The Islander Way initiative, the Flinders Island community has been provided with an opportunity to consider its tourism goals through a regenerative lens, providing practical and positive outcomes. These include a number of projects to address local concerns - e.g. waste management and food security - which were highlighted during a period of high tourism demand on the Island.” “Visit Northern Tasmania looks forward to working with Council, industry and community to secure the success of the Flinders Island visitor economy”, Mr Seaman said. “The Island has been at the forefront of an emerging and important shift towards tourism ‘giving back’ to those communities upon whose resources it relies. The work undertaken on Flinders will no doubt inspire and inform other destinations in their ‘positive impact’ journey.” As the formal part of the project comes to a close at the end of this month, Mayor Summers is confident that the DNA of The Islander Way project will continue through community-driven initiatives. “The project has sparked a new sense of enthusiasm among a passionate group of Flinders Island residents, who have a shared vision for a bright future here.” “The final stage of the project will see the development of a roadmap for the Island’s regeneration, where tourism can thrive harmoniously with our local community, our place and the natural environment.” “Flinders Island stands poised to become a beacon of positive impact tourism, setting a shining example not only for Tasmania, but for the world."

A stud finder is an indispensable tool for home, apartment, and condo owners. Once upon a time, we had to hammer or knock on the wall with our fists to listen for where the studs exist beneath the drywall. Nowadays we’re much more precise. Take out all the guesswork and simply use a stud finder instead. Don’t wait to upgrade your surround sound. Get started with this multi-use stud finder. From hanging a painting to hanging a new flat-screen television, step one is finding the studs. When you can adequately anchor your hanging, you’re on your way to success. With four settings, you can not only locate your nearest stud, but also find metals, electric wires, and pipes. The LCD screen is easy to read and shows you exactly where your house’s systems sit in your home. If you need precise information, this advanced professional-grade tool delivers. From setting up shelves in the toy room to installing a closet organizer, a professional-grade stud finder comes in handy year after year. Triangulating data from 13 sensors, this premium stud finder gives you the exact location of your wall supports. Easy to hold and easy to use, this stud finder also has a bubble so you can use it as a manual level. It’s also got a handy ruler built in on the side to assist with quick measuring jobs. Just press the button This push-button technology makes it perfect for use in older homes with plaster, wallpapers, or heavily textured walls. Features of architecture that keep other stud finders from working adequately are no match – the advanced sensors are like eyes into your walls. This stud finder shows you the position of the framing features within. Handy for locating joists, and in bathrooms, corners, and areas with extra wooden reinforcement. Scanning to 1.5 inches all the time, you can rely on the LED lights to show you how to locate a stud. Use this simple tool to locate both studs and live electrical wires. Nearly 100 years ago, the original department store Sears created a premium line of tools, and this value stud finder is no exception. From finally hanging those family pictures to setting up the shelving unit in the garage, really all you need to start is a basic stud finder. Insert a 12-volt battery (not included) and press the button. It beeps while it calibrates, then as you move the tool across the wall, it beeps when you’re over the edge of the wall’s stud. Don’t worry about resetting the scanning stud finder each time. This advanced tool self-calibrates all throughout the project. Easy to read, the LED screen tells you where the center of the stud is located. Even better, this multi-scanning stud finder glows green to indicate that space is clear of wood, metal, and live wires. It lights orange if you’re near something, and turns red to show there’s something in the sensor area. Find rebar and copper pipes, too. Looking for a powerful tool to locate items in concrete? This stud finder can look in ¾ of an inch deep to let you know.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. This could be the motto for the next group of players. While their colleagues were busy scoring, they were busy setting them up. Here are the Serie A players who’ve been most efficient about providing goal assists this season. The Napoli star is known as an all-around nice guy, on and off the field. It’s no surprise then that despite being one of the league’s tops scorers, he is also one of the players to record the highest number of assists. He has provided nine so far. And, it is his continuous contribution in the last few seasons that has seen Napoli charge up the Serie A table. Milan is a team undergoing a transformation. One of the few points of constant support for the Rosonerri has been Spanish midfielder, Suso. He has played almost every single game this season and has managed 8 assists. Who wouldn’t want the 25-year-old on their FootballCoin team? Yes, it’s Serie A’s most famed player, but many will be surprised that Ronaldo is so good when it comes to setting up goals, not just scoring them. Ronaldo has 8 assists this season, besides his 19 Serie A goals. It’s no wonder his teammates and colleagues adore the Portuguese star. Juventus is on its way to a new Serie A scudetto. They always have the UCL trophy on their minds. Much of this has to do with Ronaldo leading by example. The veteran striker has been hands down one of the best players in the Serie A this season. There are few players to compare him to. Quagliarella is 36 years old. He is the top scorer in the Italian league. He’s also contributed 7 goal assists. And, he is Sampdoria’s undisputed leader. Let’s not forget that the striker is a free option in FootballCoin contests. We are hoping his career won’t stop anytime soon. Lazzari finds his place on our list because of his 7 goal assists. What is more remarkable is that the player is often featured as a full-back for SPAL. Last year marked an important occasion in Lazzari’s career, his first call-up to the Italian national team. Things continue to look up and Lazzari looks to have a bright future ahead of himself. Which of these players beckons a place on your FootballCoin team. Serie A contests await. Create your perfect team for a chance of winning your fellow managers’ respect and important XFC prizes.

The first recorded Steam data about Dota 2’s player base dates back to August 2012. Back then, the game had 55.000 average concurrent players. By August 2013, the number had grown to 330.000. So the game grew by 600% in just one year. By August 2015, just two years later, Dota 2 had 606.000 average concurrent players. The peak was reached in February 2016: 709.000 ACP. At that time, around 13 million people were playing the game on a monthly basis. And then, instead of continuing to grow, everything went downhill. Dota 2’s current player base Recently, Dota 2 has hit 515.000 average concurrent players, the highest number in the last five years. The game is probably played right now by around 9-10 million people. This is not a bad number considering the fact that Dota 2 has been around for 10 years. After 10 years, most games are completely dead. We’ve seen lots of games, even esports, rise to fame only to lose their audience after the first few years. But games like Dota 2 endure for a long time. They may not be the most famous, but they are the most consistent. Everyone who plays Dota 2 is in it for the long run. This is not a game that you can play casually once a month and forget about it. You need to play regularly to become competent, and its vast number of options makes it infinitely replayable. What caused the recent player base growth Even though we don’t know for sure what caused the 13% increase in the last 30 days, we can suspect that The International 2022 might have had something to do with it. The location of the event was Singapore and the Asian fans might have liked what they saw. The tournament had a prize pool of almost $19 million, which is a huge amount for the world of esports. Lots of people get encouraged when they see those kinds of prizes and they think to themselves that one day, they will be the ones to lift the Aegis of Champions. That’s a bit unlikely, but they wouldn’t have to reach that level if Valve made it a bit easier to survive in Dota 2 without getting a top six result at The International. The prize pools of the other tournaments are quite small right now and everyone’s complaining about the situation. But in terms of its growth, Dota 2 seems to be doing just fine. It remains to be seen if the game’s newest players will still be here in three months. Header: Valve Corporation

top of page OneTwoThree Company (China) Awarded GFA Remarkable Innovation Award Global Fred Award Team November 20, 2024 Recently, OneTwoThree (China) Company has won the Global Fred Remarkable Innovation Award due to its outstanding contributions in the field of intelligent urban location services. This honor not only demonstrates its strong technological strength but also highlights its unremitting efforts in showing deep concern for children and the elderly. OneTwoThree Company is affiliated with NavInfo Group (stock code: 002405). As a national high-tech enterprise, it has always been committed to integrating advanced technology with humanistic care. It has launched numerous products and services in multiple industries, achieving remarkable results especially in child safety and intelligent elderly care. In the area of child safety, its full-stack positioning technology is unique. Through intelligent hardware such as children's tracking bracelets and smart tags, it integrates multiple positioning methods including BeiDou, GPS, GLONASS, WiFi, cellular networks, sensors, AGPS, offline positioning, and cloud computing. This enables parents to accurately know the location of their children with an error reduced to the centimeter level. For example, whether children are playing at school, in the park or on their way to and from school, parents can be well-informed. The application of video-assisted positioning and short-range communication technologies like Bluetooth and NFC further strengthens the security guarantee. In crowded places like shopping malls, even if children get lost for a short time, their locations can be quickly determined with the help of videos and Bluetooth beacons. This brings parents a tangible sense of security. In terms of intelligent elderly care, the company's intelligent positioning modules play a significant role. These modules can be installed in the wearable devices or personal belongings of the elderly, making it convenient for caregivers and family members to know the whereabouts and health status of the elderly at any time. Whether indoors or outdoors, the positioning is accurate. In case of emergencies such as falls or sudden illnesses of the elderly, the device will immediately send location information alerts to the nearest medical institutions or caregivers, buying precious time for timely rescue and is expected to greatly improve the current situation of elderly care. The jury of the Global Fred Award has highly praised OneTwoThree Company, affirming that its technology is advanced, practical and easy to use, and truly focuses on the well- being of children and the elderly. The jury believes that these innovative achievements have the value of global promotion and set an example for using technology to solve social problems. The “intelligent hardware + SaaS system services” framework of OneTwoThree Company has achieved remarkable results. Taking an intelligent elderly care community as an example, the SaaS system can analyze the daily activity patterns of the elderly. Once there are abnormal activities, such as a sudden decrease in activity or a change in the route, it will promptly notify the caregivers. This proactive care not only improves the quality of life of the elderly but also optimizes the allocation of care resources. The company's full-stack R&D capabilities have given birth to a rich variety of intelligent hardware products. From the very beginning of the design, the special needs of children and the elderly have been fully considered. After undergoing strict testing and optimization, these products are reliable in performance and convenient to use. After winning this award, OneTwoThree Company will take this opportunity to expand its global business so that more people can benefit from its innovative achievements. Its persistent pursuit of innovation and its sense of social responsibility will surely continue to play a leading role in the field of caring for children and the elderly and provide examples and experiences for the whole world to learn from. bottom of page

This is our Senior Project program, which acts an internship for our 12th graders who are venturing closer to adulthood, college, and careers. The school expects seniors to use this opportunity to demonstrate, in some field that is meaningful to them, that they have learned both how to learn and how to do. Here are some recent Senior Projects our students have done: - Student wanted to study Physical Therapy in college and shadowed as a PT. - Student wanted to own her own business and worked with an entrepreneur TFS parent who owns her own soap making business. - Student wanted to explore the world of marketing and photography; she shadowed in the marketing department of several local businesses and did photography work for Shaw Nature Reserve. - Student wanted to learn more about the music recording business and spent time in a St. Louis studio learning about the equipment and processes.

24 July 2024: After featuring strongly in New Zealand industry awards, the SH25A Taparahi Slip remediation project in the Coromandel has gone a step further. It has been adjudged Bridge Project Team of the Year at the New Civil Engineer Conference Awards in London. Entered by Beca on behalf of the SH25A team – the Fulton Hogan/McConnell Dowell joint venture, Beca, Tonkin+Taylor and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency – the project headed off seven other bridge projects and was the only finalist outside of Europe. GM Civil, Donovan Wallace, says it is hard to under-estimate the significance of this for the team behind the 124m by 15m high three span steel/composite bridge, that was designed and built in just seven months. “It’s one thing to set a new standard in New Zealand, but setting a standard internationally is something else. Everyone involved should feel immensely proud.” Civil Operations Manager, James Harrison, has experience in civil work in the UK and says the SH25A approach will have appealed to the judges. “We were given freedom by Waka Kotahi to put the traditional rule book to one side to deliver way faster, less expensively and with lower risk,” James says. “It shows what can be achieved with a can-do, all-in-together approach and it has valuable learnings about how to address similar challenges in future, both here and internationally.” A project of this scale would normally take between 18 and 24 months. Under urgency, the team planned an accelerated nine-month programme. They surpassed even this truncated timeframe to open for Christmas 2023, with no lost time injury (LTI) or medical treatment injuries. Locally, the SH25A Taparahi Slip remediation project has won the Āpōpō (formerly IPWEA) Award for Innovation and is a finalist in CCNZ’s National Construction Excellence Awards (Projects $20M to $100M) and Infrastructure NZ’s Building Nations Impact Awards (Innovation category). These will be made on 16 August and 28 August, respectively.

The Fact Find presents us with a scenario for a Mr and Mrs Franey. In my opinion the scenario in this exam is not a million miles removed from any number of real life cases that many Advisers may have seen during their career. However, regardless of how life-like or not Students may feel the scenario is; it is of course actually there to test your knowledge, and crucially, the application of that knowledge to the client’s circumstances and the suitability of your advice. This blog summarises some of the key issues students will need to consider for this exam, and some pointers about specific parts of the IFS DipFA Study Folders that students may find useful to review and refresh themselves of in addition to other study – this blog is not a comprehensive guide to the exam but should get you started. In this scenario, the clients have exposure to income tax and national insurance as both an employee and as a sole trader. A solid understanding of the rules relating to Income Tax and National Insurance (N.I.) is essential. Anyone not fully clued up on these basics for both employed and self employed clients should immediately head to the IFS Study Folders (issued by the IFS when they started the DipFA course), and look up Topic 2 and Topic 3 in the Taxation folder. Also be aware of N.I. Contributions once over State Retirement Age. Additionally, in preparation for one of our courses, some of the required subject specific areas to consider for further study are; - Defined Benefit (Final Salary) pensions. See Retirement Topic 5.3.2 - Needs Based Protection Planning. See Protection Topic 9 - Investment Advice. See Investments Topic 14 This is most definitely not a comprehensive list, and of course don’t forget, anything in the syllabus can be considered relevant for the exam. The amendments on the day can cover any issue covered in the Study Folders, or related to these areas. Students would be well advised to at least review the sections of the Study Folders for areas of advice they are not familiar with prior to the exam itself. According to recent Examiner’s reports, many students are missing out on marks as a result of not sufficiently addressing the amendments on the day. If there are gaps in your knowledge compared to the syllabus, you run the risk of being caught out! Further support can be found by booking attendance at one of Futuretrend’s DipFA Exam Workshops, or on the remote support option. Paul Davis, Dip. PFS, Futuretrend Tutor.

DEFRA secretary Owen Paterson has branded TV presenter Alan Titchmarsh a “complete muppet” for attacking government policies on the countryside. Former Gardeners’ World and Ground Force presenter Mr Titchmarsh had questioned the government’s handling of the ash dieback disease and warned that the Conservative Party had lost touch with rural areas. Speaking at the launch of the 100th Chelsea Flower Show last month, he said: “There seems to me very little investment in rural areas and the countryside. We have to look after agriculture and horticulture: growing things. This is how we feed ourselves. “Time was when the Tory party was the party of the shires and understood how the countryside works.” Mr Titchmarsh said recent government advice to the public to wash boots, dogs and children after visiting the woods to curb the spread of ash dieback disease would have “minimal effect” because the disease was already widespread. “I think expecting people to wash their dogs, boots and children after a woodland walk is like sticking a plaster on a broken leg,” said Mr Titchmarsh. “This is fungal-led and wind-borne. It is here now. It is a matter of watching and waiting. We need to cull where possible when we find it, monitor and look out for resistant strains. We also need more stringent rules on imports.” But Mr Paterson, MP for North Shropshire, hit back in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, accusing the celebrity gardener of not paying attention to government policies on rural issues. “He’s a complete muppet, missed completely everything we’re doing,” rebuked Mr Paterson, a keen horseman and huntsman. “He’s a complete muppet, missed completely everything we’re doing.” On Thursday (6 December) Mr Paterson outlined the latest plans to control Chalara fraxinea (ash dieback), which included maintaining the ban on the import and movement of ash trees. Simon Pryor, of The National Trust, described the plans as “too little, too late”. Dr Pryor said: “The limited actions and weak commitments set out in the plan will not be enough to achieve the aim of controlling the spread of the disease. It is far too little, too late. “Through this action plan we’re effectively surrendering the British landscape to this disease before we’ve fully investigated ways of reducing rate of spread and buying time.” Scientists believe that the ash dieback fungus, first identified in the UK in February, came here after wind-blown spores infected ash trees. The disease has wiped out 90% of ash trees in Denmark. Meanwhile, in a separate interview with the Daily Telegraph, Owen Paterson has backed the use of GM crops and branded critics of the technology as “humbugs”. “Emphatically we should be looking at GM… I’m very clear it would be a good thing,” he said. “The trouble is all this stuff about Frankenstein foods and putting poisons in foods. “There are real benefits, and what you’ve got to do is sell the real environmental benefits.” See our page on GM crops

Drew Lock is in line to make his first start this season for the Giants. Tim Boyle would be his backup. DeVito is officially listed as questionable and listed as a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice. He did not travel with the team to Dallas on Wednesday because he was undergoing additional evaluation, the Giants said. The team, however, said it expected him to travel to Dallas later Wednesday. DeVito took several big hits in Sunday’s 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was making his first start of the season after the Giants released former starter Daniel Jones late last week. Coach Brian Daboll had said Wednesday that DeVito was not 100 percent ready to play because of his injury. The Giants (2-9) are also operating on a short week with just four days between games. DeVito had said after Tuesday’s tour, in which he participated on a limited basis, that he still wasn’t sure he could throw at full speed. His body was still feeling the effects of four sacks and nine quarterback hits on Sunday. “I think if it were a normal week, Tuesday is usually when things adjust to your body. When you get hit on Sunday, Monday usually hurts a little bit; Tuesday is usually the worst day,” DeVito said. “So having an extra, whatever it is, four or five days later usually helps.” Surprisingly, DeVito was named the Giants’ starting quarterback on November 18 in place of Jones after spending the first 10 games of the season as the third starter. He completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions against the Bucs. But the second-year undrafted free agent took big hits in the contest. He left the game on the final drive before returning one play later. DeVito then took another big hit before time expired. The Giants now turn to Lock after passing on him after Jones was benched for DeVito. Lock spent the first 10 weeks of the season as a backup, with DeVito serving as the emergency third quarterback. But Daboll entered the bye week and chose DeVito as the starter. Admittedly, Lock was “upset” and “disappointed” by the decision. He promised not to show it and instead fully supported DeVito. Now, he’s about to make his first start for the Giants, who signed him to a one-year deal worth $5 million guaranteed this offseason. Lock even took some first-team reps during Tuesday’s walkaround, which is unusual for a backup quarterback under Daboll. Lock has a short week and no real practices to prepare for the NFC East Thanksgiving showdown. He will also play behind an offensive line without his starting tackles. Andrew Thomas (foot) is on injured reserve and Jermaine Eluemunor (quadriceps) was ruled out Wednesday. “It’s typical of the job. You always have to be ready, no matter the week, no matter what the situation is, just play like you’re going to come in and play.” Lock said after Tuesday’s walkthrough. “My mindset didn’t change this week and we’ll see how the rest of the week plays out.”

New spy cam software has been compared to scramble suits worn by narcotics officers in Philip K Dick’s novel/movie A Scanner Darkly. No one wants their own mug shown in some criminal surveillance video simply because you became an anecdote for “the wrong place at the wrong time.” With this new software, faces will be blurred and encrypted; protecting the identity of anyone innocent that is caught on camera. So, just because some other guy seems to be proceeding through life like “a cat without whiskers perpetually caught behind the refrigerator” doesn’t mean you have to suffer for it. If Philip K. Dick has taught us anything it’s that either now or a few years down the line everything you do will be recorded. It’s in our best interest for everyone to wear scramble suits in the totalitarian change that’s about to come. If you hear of anything about Substance D, try to avoid it. Until then, stay off camera. “What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly?”

Education for life and work (EDUVIDA) Title: Education for life and work (EDUVIDA) Commissioned by: German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) Lead executing agency: Ministry of Education of the Republic of Guatemala MINEDUC Overall term: 2013 to 2016 The National Human Development Report of Guatemala for 2012 described the inadequacies of the country’s secondary education system. More than 20% of 13 to 19-year-olds fail to complete their secondary education while more than 30% do not enrol in secondary school education at all, and in some regions this proportion is up to 50 or 60%. Thus, a significant proportion of young people have only primary education, which seriously limits their development opportunities on Guatemala’s job market. The Ministry of Education wants to help youths acquire basic skills for life. The support measures centre on imparting occupational skills. The President of the Republic introduced the ‘Youth Protagonists’ programme which seeks to link up public education services with the job market and businesses. This government initiative aims to underscore the need for strengthening secondary education by focusing on the scope and quality of education provision. The government is aware of the deficiencies in secondary education, particularly in rural regions, and of the need for putting into place policies that rectify the situation with adapted measures. Without sufficient, high-quality secondary education, many regions of Guatemala will miss out on hoped-for social and economic development. This is particularly true for rural areas, which are home to roughly half of the country’s population. The Ministry of Education of Guatemala can employ institutional and educational instruments under its secondary education reform programme to provide an education that enables social integration and vocational preparation in rural areas. The programme supports the Ministry of Education in restructuring the secondary education system and centres on the topics of social integration and vocational preparation. Its activities focus on rural regions in the Departments of Alta Verapaz, Chiquimula and Quiché with the following themes: - Education for dignified work: entrepreneurship and promoting employability - Education for active citizenship, interculturality and peace - Securing a coordinated transition between primary and secondary education and between the secondary level, the job market and the tertiary level - Access to education for people with a disability in order to overcome discrimination and social exclusion The German contribution mainly comprises the provision of specialist advice on research, education management, staff training, curriculum development and implementation, on the dialogue between civil society and the Ministry of Education and on alliances between the ministry, business associations and universities. The EDUVIDA programme works with secondary education institutions of the municipal, private and public sectors in selected communities in order to make it easier for young people to enter the job market. At the same time, it strengthens the institutional capacities of the decentralised education directorates. In the context of education for young people and local development, it also seeks to promote dialogue and networking with producers, trade unions, enterprises and civil society organisations. The Ministry of Education follows up on exemplary best-practice experiences and transfers them to the national education system. EDUVIDA seeks to enhance the social and economic significance of secondary school education by increasing the cultural relevance of the curriculum and the quality of education provision, and it aims to help generate entrepreneurship and improve youth employability. The programme strengthens the Ministry of Education and civil society organisations that work in youth education. It reinforces a democratic culture of multiculturalism, peace and justice, thereby indirectly helping to prevent youth violence. Democratic principles, including human rights, are to be strengthened and put into practice by introducing elements of civic education into the curricula. In this way, the programme indirectly contributes to promoting democracy. After almost exclusively promoting primary school education for 25 years, the Ministry of Education of Guatemala is having to bow to pressure from society and effectively upgrade secondary education. The EDUVIDA programme therefore was launched at a propitious time. GIZ is represented on a task force of the donor network that was established as a result of the new political interest in secondary education. Its objectives are to enhance donor coordination and improve educational quality. In particular, the programme helps to develop management strategies and structures at the middle management levels of the school authority. Staff at that level are usually employed for longer terms. The programme coordinates its activities closely with other GIZ projects and works with KfW Development Bank. Results achieved so far EDUVIDA builds on the results of the previous education programme PACE and develops further the methods employed and products prepared under this programme.

LayerOne (formerly Abalonyx) and SINTEF (a Norway-based research institute) have secured funding from The Norwegian Research Council for the development of innovative, scalable and sustainable conductive inks based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The rGO-based inks promise improved electrical conductivity and stability surpassing traditional carbon-based inks and offering a less toxic and more cost-effective alternative to metal-based inks. The research project is a result of LayerOne’s recent breakthrough in developing a new grade of rGO with an electrical conductivity two orders of magnitude greater than standard rGO grades. In the project, LayerOne will supply the advanced rGO materials while SINTEF will leverage and build on its experience from recently concluded projects on printed electronics to develop the new conductive inks. The project, valued at 18 million NOK (over USD$1,728,000), has been awarded 9 million NOK (over USD$864,000) in funding from the Norwegian Research Council. According to Christian Dethloff, CEO of LayerOne, this innovative rGO-based technology is expected to have a positive impact on various electronic equipment such as RFID tags, sensors, circuits, and even high-tech clothing with integrated electronics. “In addition to being a more cost-effective alternative, our rGO technology will also have a lower impact on the environment compared to metal-based inks, making it an attractive solution for companies seeking to reduce their environmental footprint”, said Christian F. Dethloff, CEO in LayerOne “We aim to implement an innovative manufacturing process for rGO that minimizes energy consumption, in conjunction with the development of a new and more conductive rGO material. Our approach will ensure lower manufacturing costs with premium product purity and quality”, said Filippo Giordanino, Chief Technical Officer, LayerOne. According to the company's research, traditional carbon-based inks often offer low electrical conductivity and are low-cost, while metal-based inks provide better performance but at a higher cost. However, there is still a significant gap in terms of both performance and cost between these two technologies. LayerOne's graphene-based conductive inks address this gap by providing improved conductivity compared to traditional carbon-based inks at a reasonable additional cost, making them a cost-effective alternative to metal inks and a premium product compared to carbon-based inks. “This breakthrough technology has the potential to have a significant impact on a range of electronic applications and we look forward to participating in this exciting industrial project”, said Branson Belle, Senior Researcher at SINTEF. The sustainable manufacturing processes in GraphInk will make it possible to produce environmentally friendly products, reducing energy consumption, the use of hazardous substances and waste generation, contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The fervor for all things Greek that the United States experienced in the 1820s, and America's significant philhellenic support for the Greek Revolution, have been well-documented. However, a lesser-known facet is the support extended by the African-American community to the Greek cause, with a notable African-American standing shoulder to shoulder with the Greeks. Additionally, it's intriguing to note that the Greek Revolution not only inspired freedom struggles, but also became a symbolic beacon in the United States' own fight against the institution of slavery. Emerging from this narrative is the story of James Jakob Williams, an African-American Philhellene hailing from Baltimore, Maryland. As a U.S. Navy Marine, he showcased his valor during the 1815 U.S. - Algeria conflict, serving commendably under the esteemed U.S. Admiral Stephen Decatur. Recognizing Williams' prowess, Decatur recommended Greece, a land that had renounced slavery, as his next destination after his naval duties concluded. Touching Greek soil in January 1827, Williams allied himself with British Philhellene Admiral Thomas Cochrane. Their camaraderie saw them through many a campaign until Cochrane's departure in December of the same year. Yet, Williams' commitment to the Greek cause persisted. He often clandestinely ventured into hostile territories, risking his life to gather crucial intel for the Greek forces. A testament to his bravery, during the liberation efforts of Nafpaktos, a cannon blast severely injured Williams. Yet, in the face of adversity, he led a band of Greek warriors to commandeer the unmanned Greek vessel, Sotir (Savior), even drawing enemy fire upon himself to protect the ship from capture. Sadly, this valiant African-American Philhellene's journey came to an end in Greece in 1829. In honoring James Jakob Williams, we remember a man who tasted true freedom in his final years, amidst the rolling hills and shimmering waters of a liberated Greece.

Lights inside homes and offices in Abu Dhabi shall be inspected under the new ‘Dark Sky Policy’ that was announced today. The emirate’s Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) said the policy would present a blueprint of lighting practices to address the “escalating concern of light pollution”. The goal is to preserve the night sky by tackling the excessive or inappropriate use of artificial lighting. In private spaces — such as homes and offices — this would mean interior lighting will be checked to see how far it spills outside, the authority said. New and existing outdoor lights are among the primary targets of the policy’s guidelines, which will apply to public and private sectors. However, cultural festivals and events will be excluded. “The Abu Dhabi Dark Sky Policy embodies our commitment to a future where the beauty of the night sky is cherished and protected,” said Salem Al Kaabi, director-general of operations affairs at the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT). “By creating a harmonious coexistence between our urban landscape and celestial wonders, we aim to enhance residents’ quality of life and contribute to a global movement aimed at preserving natural beauty.” A methodology to address light pollution has been implemented, alongside awareness programmes. Regulations will be applied across public buildings, streets, parks, beaches, commercial organisations, open and undeveloped spaces, agricultural and industrial areas, and more. They include shielded lighting, external and facade lights, as well as motion-activated security lighting, and a coordinated shutdown of non-security lighting at midnight. Policy violators shall be granted a grace period to adjust their lighting accordingly. Aligned with the global endeavours of the International Dark Sky Association, the first policy of its kind will be implemented with a multifaceted approach, which includes: - Promoting sustainable lighting systems - Protecting the natural environment and wildlife - Supporting scientific research in the field of astronomy - Enhancing public health - Promoting sustainable development Residents and all relevant entities should abide by conditions laid down in the policy, alongside applicable manuals and the Estidama Pearl Building Rating System.

Nature’s open access journal for “scientifically valuable datasets”, Scientific Data, published a fascinating new paper from Yale researchers this month, which maps over 6,000 years of urban development. Using data from historian Tertius Chandler’s 1970s paper, Four thousand Years of Urban Growth and political scientist George Modelski’s book World Cities -3000 to 2000, published in 1987, Yale University researchers digitised, transcribed, and geocoded thousands of years of urban data, to create a ‘usable’ map. By sorting the extensive collection of data, the researchers were able to plot the first recorded urban settlement populations between 3700 B.C. and 2000 A.D, making the dataset more usable to “better illustrate how urbanization spreads”. The first author of the paper, Meredith Reba, said that the map her team of researchers has created will be an essential tool in understanding human interactions with the environment. “Whether it is for timely response to catastrophes, the delivery of disaster relief, assessing human impacts on the environment, or estimating populations vulnerable to hazards, it is essential to know where people and cities are geographically distributed,” Ms Reba said. “Additionally, the ability to geolocate the size and location of human populations over time helps us understand the evolving characteristics of the human species, especially human interactions with the environment. “The dataset provides the first spatially explicit archive of the location and size of urban populations over the last 6,000 years and can contribute to an improved understanding of contemporary and historical urbanization trends.” Click here for the original.

Di and Viv and Rose: ★★★★ from The Daily Express Posted on 25 January 2013. Posted in: Theatre Reviews Di and Viv and Rose Review By Julie Carpenter, The Daily Express Plays about female friendship featuring an all-female cast are something of a rarity. Perhaps the feeling is they won’t appeal to one half of the theatre-going public but it’s just possible that this three-hander by the actress and writer Amelia Bullmore (a regular in the recent comedy series Twenty Twelve) will prove such sentiments wrong. When the work was first staged in Hampstead’s downstairs studio space it was so well received that it has now transferred to the main stage upstairs, becoming the first play to do so. What will strike you is the warmth and wit of the writing, which is further boosted by the vibrancy of the performances by Tamzin Outhwaite, Gina McKee and in particular an effervescent Anna Maxwell Martin. It amounts to an endearing, warm-hearted piece that is surprising, smartly funny and full of female banter and which reflects perceptively on what friendship really means and how it can be splintered and mended.

HTK-AS86 Russian AF Helicopters paint set vol. 1 Standard colours of Russian AF helicopters since 2010 Although part of post-soviet helicopters operated by the Russian AF still wears a mix of various colour schemes gained during gradual overhauls in many workshops, in early 2010s a new standard scheme of overall dark grey was successfully introduced on most types including Mi-8/17 family, Mi-26 heavy transports and Mi-24/35, Mi-28 and Ka-52 attack helicopters. Only after less than 5 years a decision was made to revert to more standard 3-colour camouflage of green (contrary to more olive colour used in the soviet times) and light tan on upper surfaces, with rather bright blue lower surfaces. Up to date representatives of all above mentioned types have already been observed in this new scheme.

Keeping capital in the bank is probably thing number one in order to transition your startup from kind of default dead to default alive. Most of the time the decision is not going to be easy, and what’s worst is continuing to allocate time and budget towards something that’s never going to have legs, that’s never going to have traction.

On our last visit to Glenwood Springs, Ryan and I did the math and discovered that we’ve been to Glenwood more than any other Colorado small town. The hot springs have always been a big draw and now there’s another venue where we can soak our cares away. Iron Mountain Hot Springs opened this summer along the banks of the Colorado River. We visited in early September to indulge in both an evening and morning soak. We stayed at Hotel Glenwood Springs, a stone’s throw from Iron Mountain. Eventually the hotel will be connected to the hot springs via a safe walking path, but for now you can drive or walk on the road. This is the perfect hotel for families; their hotel pool is a child’s dream and if I was still a kid you’d never get me out of it. The spa-like atmosphere of Iron Mountain Hot Springs flows throughout the property. As we entered the tiered pool area, we were met with the sounds of light classical music and the soft whispers of the Colorado River as it flowed below us. On a Thursday evening we had the place mostly to ourselves and it was easy to find an empty pool. There are 16 mineral pools to choose from, all vary in shapes, size and temperature. We soaked as the Colorado River sparkled and the world around us glowed pink and then deep orange before the sun disappeared below the horizon. It was one of those surreal moments that will forever be emblazoned in my mind. The next morning we returned for a morning soak and were glad that we did. We spent three blissful hours relaxing and then ordered lunch from Sopris, the hot springs’ onsite café. We paid less than $10 for a sandwich, chips and a soda. They also serve beer and wine at Sopris, so you can soak and sip. After lunch we jumped in the swimming pool for a quick swim before we had to head home. The pool, perfect for a cool down after the hot mineral pools or for the kids, was a perfect ending to our Iron Mountain Hot Springs experience. Parents must accompany their children (age 5 to 13) in the mineral pools at Iron Mountain Hot Springs and there are “quiet” sections as well. This makes Iron Mountain the place perfect for an adult getaway. While Glenwood Springs is touted as a family-friendly destination, and it is, we think it’s a lovely romantic destination – after all, we’ve spent three of our 12 wedding anniversaries in Glenwood. I think that Iron Mountain Hot Springs is a wonderful addition to this lovely Colorado town.

How an Air Purifier Can Help Keep Your Home Safe At a time when viruses and air contamination issues seem to be controlling the outside world, maintaining proper air quality indoors will keep you healthy as you are quarantined in your home. Air purifiers are a great way to keep the air quality in your home excellent while also helping fight diseases. These systems won’t 100% rid a house from the coronavirus, but it will help keep your home safer than the outside air. When you use an air purifier you are filtering out extra impurities in the air that your HVAC system’s air filter didn’t catch. It’s an extra step in the purification process of the air within your home. Continue reading to learn exactly how an air purifier can help you stay safe inside your home. What You Need to Know About Air Purifiers Air purifiers help eliminate allergens and major dust and hair issues within your home to keep your air as clean as possible when you are stuck inside. They even help combat other diseases as well. Essentially, an air purifier will suck the air from your home through a series of air filters using a set of fans. Once the air passes through the filters, it is then cycled back into your home cleaner than before. Air purifiers help eliminate things like: The act of the air circulating through the extra filters can actually remove some viruses, like the flu virus, from the air. It is a great idea to have an air purifier during this time because pollen is high and it will help fight against seasonal allergies that have similar symptoms to coronavirus. An air purifier cleans these things from the air so you can breathe easier. It also helps to circulate the air in your home to keep it from getting stagnant. Quarantine Air Flow Quality An air purifier will help you in other ways aside from clearing pollen and bacteria from the air within your home. When you are sitting at home for hours on end, the air in your home can start to seem stale and your house can seemingly take on a musty smell. If you invest in an air purifier, you will never have to worry about stale air in your home again. The air purifier will constantly circulate the air, which not only keeps the flow moving but keeps smells to a minimum as well as health issues. Even if you have to leave your house for groceries or some other necessity, whatever bacteria you bring back with you, the air purifier will work to eliminate, as it will create its own air-flow quarantine. Gathering the Right Information Just to be clear, an air purifier will not cure coronavirus. It will, however, fight against allergies, the flu, and a few other viruses and diseases. It is important to properly inform yourself during this time. There is a lot of information going around about the coronavirus and not all of it is completely factual. It is vital to understand where you are getting your information from and who you are trusting for truthful facts. Some companies can be trusted and are spreading appropriate information, while others may be sharing false truths about possible “cures.” Just remember to stay cautious in order to stay safe during this time. Heidler, Inc. Keeps Your Air Clean Heidler, Inc.’s award-winning services are sure to keep you satisfied. They offer all kinds of services to help make sure your home’s HVAC system is running properly during these times.

When selecting plants for your front door, consider factors such as light, temperature, and available space. Think about whether you prefer leaves that are soft or sharp and colours that are vibrant or subtle. These considerations will help create the right mood and give your front entrance a strong look. Whether you go for structural shrubs, florals to catch the eye, or kitchen plants and herbs that emit pleasant scents, each of these plants will add a distinct charm to your front door. With their vibrant colours, variety, and easy maintenance, they are essential for creating an inviting and homely atmosphere. When it comes to choosing the best plants for your front door, several important questions need to be considered. These include the architectural style of your home, the proportion of plant height to define the pathway and frame the doorway, the available space, and the textures and colours that harmonise with the surroundings throughout the year. Taking these factors into account will guide you in selecting the most suitable front-door plants. Lavender has a soothing quality with its dusky pale purple colouring and wild, lush appearance. It effortlessly adds beauty and a touch of countryside aesthetics to your doorstep. Whether you choose to place lavender in pots for a classic front door look or let it grow freely in the ground, it requires minimal effort to maintain its full, bushy, and beautiful form. Just remember to prepare the plant for colder conditions by pruning it in spring and protecting it from heavy rains to avoid root rot. Lavender not only offers beautiful purple flowers but also releases a delightful fragrance that greets visitors and attracts beneficial pollinators. Lemon trees go beyond their aesthetic appeal with an escapist aesthetic and refreshing citrus scent. They symbolise fertility, prosperity, and good health, making them a powerful addition to your front door. Placing a lemon tree outside your entrance not only adds good fortune but also provides a fresh fragrance, architectural shapes, and the possibility of harvesting lemons. Gaura is a wonderful option for the front door as it provides flowers throughout the summer months. It can be paired with Mexican Ponytail grass for extra movement and a full look even in colder months. Choosing rosemary to be planted on either side of your front door adds a stylish and fragrant touch. Additionally, rosemary is believed to have the ability to absorb any lingering negative energies or spirits, creating a sense of reassurance and harmony for those who enter your home. The beautiful bay tree is a classic choice for the front door, with its slim trunk and leafy head exuding understated elegance. It requires little maintenance and is versatile in its usage. The bay leaves can also be used for culinary purposes. Placing bay trees on either side of your front door brings symmetry and impact to your space, especially when trimmed in a circular shape. Flanking your front door with olive trees adds a rustic touch with their gnarled bark and silvery leaves. While they thrive in warm climates, they can adapt to cooler climates as well. Although you may not expect a large olive harvest, they are relatively easy to care for in pots and provide a Mediterranean garden look. For a proud and dramatic display with a touch of coastal charm, hydrangeas are an excellent choice. Their large, showy blooms in pink, blue, or white colours make a stunning addition to any doorstep. Consider the pH of your soil as it can affect the colour of the blooms. Hydrangeas are perennials, meaning they will return year after year with minimal maintenance. By carefully selecting and arranging these plants, your front door will become a captivating focal point, exuding style, sensory delight, and a warm welcome to all who approach your home.

Lorn and Islands Hospital in Oban, Scotland is set to host a drone delivery trial for National Health Service (NHS) in the country to support Covid-19 response in the UK. The trial is being conducted by UK-based drone delivery provider Skyports in alliance with Thales, with support from Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP). During the trial, delivery drones supplied by unmanned aircraft-maker Wingcopter will be tested for their feasibility to deliver urgent medical cargo, including Covid-19 test kits and personal protective equipment (PPE), between remote medical facilities. These trial flights will be planned using Thales’ SOARIZON drone operations management platform, which provides digital tools for drone flying operations. The two-week trial will involve two-way flights between Lorn and Islands Hospital and Mull and Iona Community Hospital in Craignure, which is ten miles away on the Isle of Mull. This ten-mile journey, which usually takes up to six hours one-way by road and ferry, will be reduced to approximately 15 minutes by drone. It is expected that the drone delivery service will provide isolated communities with access to tests, while reducing exposure of front-line medical and delivery personnel. Skyports CEO Duncan Walker said: “Delivery drones are a fast and reliable solution for vital medical supplies. Skyports is proud to assist the NHS in Scotland with their Covid-19 response, helping to provide the essential healthcare that people need in harder-to-reach areas. “Our trial in Argyll and Bute provides an important short-term response to the current pandemic and lays the foundations from which to grow a permanent drone delivery operation across a network of healthcare facilities around the country.” As current rules require drones to be flown within visual line of sight of the remote pilot, the drone delivery service trial has required special permission from the Civil Aviation Authority.

This allows engineers to run any kind of algorithm, whether in native JAVA, Python, or a SPARK job, or a bound to a runtime such as Matlab or DIAdem, as an orchestrated service. Evaluations in the ASAMCommander Analysis module consist of a SELECT, TRANSFORMATION, and OUTPUT statement. All statements can be customized and contain multiple steps. Scripts can be uploaded to the system and can be executed manually or based on triggers. All job executions are monitored and each job can be reviewed including inputs, output, notifications, and logs. Integrating analysis into a Test Data Management system has never been more flexible. Please look for more information on our Merlin Analysis Server product page. You are set on your ways and/or your favorite analysis tool? We won’t stand in your way. Develop your evaluations based on customizable data inputs (SELECT), upload your function (TRANSFORMATION), and configure how the output is handled by our Merlin Analysis Server. The approach allows the fully customized design of evaluations. Each evaluation may even involve different runtimes, for example, Matlab and Python. Our Merlin Analysis Server orchestrates algorithms by handling all inputs, execution calls, and fetching the results. The framework is technology independent and allows the execution of any kind of algorithm. Server-side runtimes may be required to run the analysis. For example, Matlab scripts require a Matlab runtime. Server-side integration of analysis results in comparable results. Evaluations are transparently managed including author and version information while security prohibits any tampering with the setup. Results are comparable and reproducible. Save valuable time running analysis! Execute jobs whenever possible or when a new test data set is imported to the system. Our AReS ODS6 Server and AReS Libertas ODS Platform provide an Event Service that captures any change in the system and can be used as a trigger for evaluations. You are bringing the algorithm to the data. Use backend resources without transporting the data to client machines – and scale your analysis performance. Multiple runtimes can be integrated and the number of job executions can be adapted to data center resources. All evaluations executed by the Merlin Analysis Server can be monitored via a dashboard. Additional information about the number of successful or terminated jobs as well as other statistics is available. Log-Information for each job execution is provided.

Canada is among the most preferred destinations for international students. At the beginning of 2023, more than eight lakh students had valid study permits. A surge in this number is expected in the coming years. But the actual number of applicants is much higher than those who finally get their student visas. Student visa refusal is a painful experience for many who aspire to study in the country. Visa approval follows the SOP approval, but despite trying their best, some students fail to convince visa officers of their SOPs. They go through contradictory thoughts about whether they should prepare an SOP after refusal. The limited number of seats, stringent qualifying criteria, missing precision to SOP guidelines, and lower IELTS or TOEFL scores are some of the reasons for visa refusal. Every person deserves a fair second chance. After a student visa refusal, many students who lose hope seek a troubleshooter. SOP HELP, an SOP writing service provider active in this sector for the past ten years, handles refusal SOP cases successfully.

He took the initiative to start a separate service to write SOP for Canada Visa After Refusal. Whatever the reason behind the refusal, a well-written SOP can surely change the picture for good. Sometimes even the most deserving students get a refusal which can be due to failure to prepare an SOP convincingly. But thanks to the new wave of chance.

Mistakes are measured in time and dollars. Makes sure you avoid these 10 mistakes when handling worker's compensation claims. 1. Failure to Make a Timely Report of the Claim. When claims are not reported timely the result is a loss of valuable time and information. When a report is received early the investigation is easier as memories are fresh and evidence is preserved. It also allows the claim representative to work with the medical provider to keep your injured employee working in a light duty capacity, thereby avoiding a lost time claim. 2. Failure to Investigate at the Time of the Injury. The injured worker’s immediate supervisor is the best investigator on a workers’ compensation claim. They typically have the most knowledge of the job and the closest relationship with the injured worker. This can be vital in determining if a reported injury is plausible or not. They may also have some insider knowledge about the worker’s extracurricular activities. All information that may impact the claim, including witnesses should be communicated to the claim representative immediately. 3. Insufficient or Lack of Documentation of the Details of the Accident/Injury. Keep complete and detailed notes throughout every step of an internal investigation. All statements should be written and signed. Take immediate steps to preserve evidence and secure the accident scene. Take pictures and make diagrams if appropriate. 4. Losing Touch with an Injured Worker. You damage your trust with your injured worker if you fail to stay in touch with them at the onset of the injury and provide information to them at how the claim is handled. Keeping the worker informed makes them feel comfortable with your organization and its motives. It also keeps the worker from feeling alienated and possibly retaining an attorney. 5. Not Securing a Medical Release at the Time of Injury. To avoid delays in obtaining medical records and delaying the compensability decision you should have the claimant sign a medical release, if possible, at the time of the injury. 6. Not Having a Transitional or Modified Return to Work Program. Companies with comprehensive modified work programs can minimize or eliminate lost-time claims by bringing and injured worker back to work sooner. It also helps the worker feel that they are valued by the organization. Identify activities that injured workers can do within your organization to bring them back as they heal and help your employees identify additional skills they possess to fulfill needs of the organization. 7. Treating the Injured Worker and the Medical Provider with a Passive Attitude. Pro-actively dealing with injured workers and doctors is the right approach to minimize your claim exposure. Develop a rapport between the provider, your organization and the injured worker to cooperatively bring the employee back to work successfully. 8. Lack of Understanding about Workers’ Compensation in General. Know the laws in the States where you do business. Some States allow the employer to direct care to a preferred occupational health clinic or doctor. When you can’t direct care, provide a panel list of doctors which the employee can choose from if they ask for treatment options. 9. Hiring Unqualified Employees and Not Enforcing Proper Job Safety. Make sure that employees are qualified and trained to safely perform the functions of their job. Regular employee safety training on the proper use of equipment and how to identify and deal with potential hazards will greatly reduce accidents. Provide clearly written safety rules and implement initiatives that promote and reinforce workplace safety. Document when an employee passes training course and other certifications. This information may be useful in the investigation and defense of a claim. 10. Failure to Keep in Touch with the Claim Representative. Form a partnership and work together to manage the claim and reach proper resolution of all issues. Ensure that there is agreement on targets for return to light duty, regular duty and completion of medical care. When trying to control your organizations workers’ compensation claims it is imperative that the appropriate actions are executed promptly and correctly. Keep these common mistakes in mind when you experience the next worker's compensation claim.

The new Globus hypermarket in Halle, some 45 km from Leipzig, opened in March 2020. Built in just eleven months, it has a sales floor of 9,860 m², a self-service restaurant with 250 seats and a huge parking lot that can accommodate 900 cars and 100 bicycles. Project ID | | Location | Halle, Germany | Project type | New build | Building type | Commercial building | Roof surface | 18,000 m² | Product used | Elevate UltraPly TPO 1.5 mm | System used | Mechanically attached | The 20,000 m² roof of the new Globus hypermarket was designed to be as functional as possible. It inundates the sales floor with natural light, generates electricity through photovoltaic modules and ensures a good microclimate with an extensive green roof. There is also a roof garden on part of the roof, where employees can relax during their breaks. The resistance of the roof waterproofing to UV radiation and ozone is becoming increasingly important in Europe, which is why Globus chose Elevate UltraPly TPO roofing membrane for their new hypermarket in Halle. UltraPly TPO is based on a special thermoplastic polyolefin polymer, which consists of equal parts polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber for optimum performance. It is given additional dimensional stability and physical strength by a polyester weft-inserted scrim reinforcement in the core of the roofing membrane. It contains no plasticizers, no chlorine or heavy metals and achieves its optimal behavior in the event of fire with non-halogenated flame retardants. Roofing contractor Enrico Thurm and his team installed approximately 12,000 m² of UltraPly TPO on this project. Around 2,000 m² were used for flashing the large parapets on the perimeter of the roof, which were in some parts up to two meters high. In addition, a large number of concrete columns ends had to be flashed in on the roof side of the parapets. An elaborate job that was carried out with great care by Thum's team. Just like the creation of a series of “islands” of tapered insulation to ensure that the water could find its way easily to the roof drains and avoid ponding water. Covering such a large roof area, as well as many details, was a challenge for the construction site logistics. The roofing contractor decided to use membrane rolls that where 1.5 m wide x 30.48 m long throughout. Thanks to the rolls compact size, it was easy to handle the details. At the same time, UltraPly TPO’s large welding window allowed to cover a large surface every day, even in changeable weather conditions. In this way, all roof work by Enrico Thurm and his team could be carried out cleanly and efficiently within the tight deadlines of the project.

Pope Francis has invited all members of the Church throughout the world to engage in a synod in which we are asked to listen to each other and the Holy Spirit and offer our reflections on what it means to be Church today (and how we are journeying together as a Church). Listening sessions will be held at the parish and group levels and ideas and comments will then be given to Bishop Byrne who will bring them to the national meeting of bishops (the USCCB). A report will in turn be given to Pope Francis. Our parish meetings will be held February 23rd at 2 pm and March 3rd at 6 pm in the church. All are invited to attend. Bishop Byrne has asked us to reflect on: What is God asking of us? How can we be better? How can we grow according to the yearnings of the Spirit within our lives? If you cannot attend on either of these dates, you could still send in your thoughts via email to email@example.com.

33?? Bonnie Hill Dr LOS ANGELES, CA 90068 Painting – Exterior Painting – Interior Work Completed Date: November 28, 2010 Approximate Cost: $1,100.00 I had received 2 quotes to have my newly replastered living room area painted. I called House Painting last and the next day Mr. Lee came to my house and gave me a quote and a time frame which was almost half the previous quote and 2 days less in the time it would take. His crew was at my door the following morning on the dot. They covered whatever needed to be covered, removed whatever was on the walls and proceeded to prep the walls with primer. They verified the colors I had settled on and sent one of the crew to buy it so it would be ready the next morning., The next morning they arrived on time, painted the whole room, cleared and put the furniture back in placed and were done. I can’t say enough good things about the job they did. Everyone who has dropped by the house has made a comment as to how nice it looks. Most important though, I am happy with the results and can recommend their services without hesitation.
