About 2 years ago i started going to the gym and increased the amount of food i eat to try put on some weight which i have done. But around a year into it my stools started going very pale and with tiny pieces of undigested food in. Iv tried increasing tablets decreasing them nothing helps. I havent passed a normal stool the whole time. My diet is fairly low fat but when i do have a high fat meal etc and increase creon this doesnt have any effect. The stools are not greasy, to be honest it looks like baby poo ( sorry ) lol.
My cf nurse has no idea what it is so im at a dead end, any one had this before or have any suggestions for me? Would be greatly appreciated! Thanks alot

I got a new laptop, but i can’t transfer my glyphs mini from my old Laptop to my new one. When I click on the link in my e-Mail to download the license again it doesn’t work either. Is there another why to get glyphs mini on my laptop without paying again?
Please write an email to “office” at this domain.
And next time, store the license file in a save place.

I'm having some free days ahead and I'd like to create some pdf guides based on helpful threads (like the old makeuseof guides) using only free software on linux. I'd like to know if I could use the tek linux logo (when you release it). Will it be licensed under CreativeCommons?
I would give Logan a PM/Email about it. Highly doubt they will have an issues since it will be for a community guide.
Not sure if Jenny has fully joined the Tek staff but she would be a good person to go to as well.
Hello Willdrick I am the creator of the logo so I guess I own it here is some proof:
feel free to use it however you want just make sure to credit me.
Here is a link to the highest res image that I have:
Thanks @Vadisi, of course I will credit you!
I'm not an artist but it would look cool if the linux penguin was holding his bum and in the action of bouncing and kicking like Mario (N64) with the Tek Syndicate flames in the background.

Now over last two gun auctions I did buy some metal.
First was around a 90s Browning A bolt Gold Medallion in 300 WSM that I paid $635 for, that was a good deal. I'm thinking the caliber was reason for deal. It had a 3x9 Nikon Monarch. I broke my own rule though of not to buy a weird magnum caliber and even though prices are not bad for ammo or brass the problem is you can't find brass.
Next buy was last month where I won the auction on a Steyr Mountain Rifle with a Nikon Monarch 2-7 scope in 30/06. I paid $785 total on that one. It's a neat rifle with some strange features compared to other brands made in Austria supposedly very accurate rifles. This version has a short barrel at 20 inches so good for deep woods deer hunting as it's nice and short plus the stock is beefy plastic so good bad weather type rifle.
I bid on some past Browning Bar rifles one was a .338WM but to me got to high in price but long term guy got a good deal as the .338 Bar Belgium made are supposedly rarer. I'm glad I live a little ways away from that place or it could become costly if I lived closer I would of likely made that $785 bid.

Firstly, congratulations on the purchase of your new laptop, exciting times ahead!
That said, this is very odd behaviour indeed! I just want to confirm, when you say the campaign exists in the Fantasy Player, but when you click, there is no contents, do you mean the SoundSet names to not appear? like this:
If so, is it possible you had a stray space character or something else in the search field under the Campaign selector? There is no real indication that is happening, but with a space in there, it filters out all the results which I imagine could be quite confusing. In this case I would also expect All SoundSets
to also have no SoundSets listed.
Perhaps you meant the SoundSets were shown, like this:
But when you selected one of them, no Elements appeared? That seems like maybe the Player having difficulty fetching the details of the SoundSet in order to download all the relevant files. I do not know which version you used last on your previous laptop, but the latest version does this “fetch on demand” process, rather than having SoundSets be manually installed. In this case I would be expecting to see some sort of error alert appear though, so I am not convinced that is what is happening.
Do you recall if you were asked to unbless an existing device? I noticed you were at your device limit, but that should not have caused any issues assuming you were able to unbless an old device. In any case I have done that for you, and you should have no issues there now.
Are you able to try again and maybe give us some screenshots that help clarify what is happening for us? As you can see, I was not able to reproduce it myself, but would love to know what is going on. We will try to squash the goblins together

I copied a large (3 hour 175 MB) MP3 music recording to my m250 and it has a glitch at about 80:00 that causes the file to stop playing. I listened to the file from my laptop (playing it off the USB connected m250) and I hear a weird thing at that point sounding like a 1 second segment of another file) but it continues to play when played by the laptop. I have a good version of the file, that’s not the problem. I’m thinking there may be something wrong with the m250’s flash memory, and wonder what I should do. Should I reformat it from my XP laptop? Can I run chkdsk against the m250 and thereby mark certain memory space as bad like it would (I think) with a HD?

We were hit badly by the storm Gloria last week. There was massive material and natural destruction and people were killed, so I shouldn’t complain really as my only damage was a broken footpeg when my bike fell over. I was being a bit stupid as I had covered the bike for the rain, I thought it would be okay if I strapped the cover tightly around the bike, but alas, no. On Sunday night it blew over. Due to the rain and storm I had to wait until Saturday before I could open up the bike to check that the battery hadn’t leaked and that cooling water and oil levels were unchanged. And for the remaining days of the storm, I left the bike uncovered and hoped that the heavy rains wouldn’t cause problems with the electrics or anything else.
It is always interesting doing these kinds of chores on a busy street, I did get some strange looks and, in addition, an offer of help from a fellow biker living nearby. The new footpeg was ordered from Motor Works England – I couldn’t find a secondhand one in Spain. It arrived quickly and I love the treats that they added to the parcel.

Is there a better way to bring some coziness inside the room where we sleep than using bedroom curtains? My wife and me simply love them! And we love them because we can use different colorful variations in order to completely change the look of our bedroom interior from time to time. This is true! For example, now we are placing curtains that have yellow and red accents since the fall is coming and after the winter, we are planning to place green ones! And because the rest of our bedroom is in neutral palette having different colorful accents is an easy task. This is how we get an unique interior every season!
Bedroom curtain ideas
So, what can be done with curtains in the bedroom? Well, it really depends on who is using the room and what is his or her preferences. For example, if you are planning to decorate the room of your children you need to choose red curtains for girls, for example, and blue curtains for boys. But this is the traditional choice and you can always make something different. For example, yellow for girls and green for boys. You just need to have in mind that you should choose colors that are not very sharp since they bring some kind of tension in the interior. Personally, I prefer pale colors – they do accentuate on the color itself while they do not disturb the vision.
And if you are an adult, you need to precisely choose whether your are going to place curtains inside a feminine women’s bedroom or in a masculine men’s bedroom. Well, there is also an option to choose curtains that are suitable for couples. From my experience I have clearly understood that in this case usually women choose the style and the colors and men only agree. There’s nothing bad at all in this, since women are proven specialist when it is up to decorating their home interior. They simply know how to make a cozy nest where all members of the family can happily live together.

Hello everyone, we hope you had a great holiday season this year. December was a busy month for all of us, and now it’s time to get back into the regular routine. Just because it was busy, doesn’t mean we didn’t do any work on Free Photos Hamilton, so here’s a look at what we did this month:
- Changed some back-end organization to assist with admin management, this should make publishing photos faster
- Added a share menu to each page so you can share photos and blog posts on social media and email
- Did some work on getting more blog content. Going forward we want to ensure that people will enjoy reading our content, as much as they do downloading our free photos. You should start seeing more blog posts, hopefully regularly, as we experiment with different types of writings including editorials and how-tos.
We hope you enjoy Free Photos Hamilton, and remember, if you have any feedback, don’t hesitate to contact us via social media, or email.
Happy New Year!

This study investigated the relationship between the COVID-19 outbreak and the Chinese listed firms’ earnings management practices. It also examined how this relationship was moderated by the Chinese listed firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the external corporate governance mechanism. The data in this study were mainly retrieved from the China Stock Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) database and the Chinese Research Data Services Platform (CNRDS). The final sample contained 2,029 A-share firms listed in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, which released financial reports during the pandemic in 2020. The study applied the performance-adjusted Jones and the modified Jones model to calculate accrual-based earnings. To estimate the real activity-based earnings, this study used the following three measurements: The absolute value of the abnormal cash flow from operations, the absolute value of the abnormal production costs, and the absolute value of the abnormal discretionary expenditures. The results of this study indicated an increase in accrual-based earnings management (AEM) and a significant decline in real activity-based earnings management (REM), in firms in the most severely affected regions. In these regions, both AEM and REM were less pronounced for the firms with a higher CSR performance than those with a lower CSR performance. Moreover, firms audited by the Big 10 auditors were less likely to manipulate earnings through AEM or REM.
Key words: COVID-19, earnings management, corporate social responsibility (CSR), big 10 auditors.

Hopper Is Both Fun and Affordable

You may judge me, but I’m a sucker for whimsy apps. So many apps stick with this ubiquitous clean, modern aesthetic. That’s not bad at all and I praise apps that opt for that approach, but it gets me even more excited when I see an app that is made up of custom, delightful animations. That’s Hopper. Oh, it’s also great for actually booking flights and hotels.
Hopper, as the name suggests, is named after the four-legged animal. Anthropomorphic bunnies are rampant throughout the app from the running in loading glyph, to hiding on the pages. They’re a fun way to separate the app from others. That little bit of fun can be what keeps users coming back to their app versus competitors that also promise to save you money.
Hopper takes things from a different angle when it comes to savings. The app has a colorful calendar view where it categorizes days into different buckets based on when it is best to book. Perhaps booking a hotel on Monday and Tuesday is best as the prices may go up by Thursday and Friday. You can see this all ahead of time and it gives you visual cues to determine what’s best for your stay.
There’s also this unique price prediction tool. Hopper can show price variation based on historical data. It may even suggest waiting to book for a couple of weeks because prices tend to drop around that time, or it may suggest buying as prices trend upwards. It also has recommendations for flights, highlighting how much it will cost to move from a layover to nonstop. This price predictor alone feels reason enough to download Hopper.
Other unique features for Hopper are the price freeze, and notifications. With the price freeze tool, you can put a deposit down on a flight or hotel that gives you two weeks to pay the rest of the balance. Notifications are based on your proposed trips so you know exactly when to buy and never miss a deal.
What also sold me on the app from a design point of view was all the clever animations. The app is replete with these sprite-based animations. The loading screen shows a plane landing at an airport as the bottom navigation bar pulls into the frame. As you swipe between tabs, the background moves along with it giving a 3D parallax effect. Typing in the search box swaps out the background for clean white, while the search box persistently hovers. It feels like a lot of love went into the details of this app to perfect the user experience.
I can’t sit here and promise that Hopper is the most affordable hotel and flight booking app on the App Store, but it’s got a great look, seldom-cloned features, and the promise of low rates. I think it’s worth trying out that's for sure.
But enough about other people's apps.

The celebrations of the Week of Italian Cuisine in the world have provided precious opportunities for us to think about the sustainability and regeneration of food systems.
These themes are deeply mixed with cultural and community aspects. In fact, food is not only production, but also identity and conviviality. The Future Food Institute with the Mediterranean Diet Study Center “Angelo Vassallo” and the Italian Embassy in Tokyo hosted expert voices representing the two healthiest diets globally, the diets of longevity, both recognized as intangible heritage of humanity by Unesco.
The meeting allowed us to understand how these distinct culinary identities can be at the same time similar in values, enriching our wealth of knowledge.

Do they cry when we eat them?
A scientist from the University of the West of England says the electrical impulses mushrooms send out may be a form of communication used to talk to each other.
Professor Andrew Adamatzky published his research yesterday in the journal Royal Society Open Science. Adamatzky put electrodes in soil that had mycelium, the "root" of the fungi, as well as into the fruiting body of the mushrooms themselves, which is the part that grows above the ground. He used enoki, caterpillar, split gill and ghost mushrooms, and analyzed the electrical activity each one gave off. He found evidence, he told The Guardian, of a mysterious mushroom language that could have as many as 50 words.
"We speculated that fungal electrical activity is a manifestation of the information communicated between distant parts of the fungal colonies," Adamatzky wrote in the study.
That's scientist speak for Adamatzky's hypothesis that the electric signals moving through the mushrooms could be them talking to each other — or, in other words, the whole organism communicating with various parts of itself.
Adamatzky is open to the idea that mushrooms don't talk, too, and said the noises could simply mean nothing significant at all. It's similar to the ongoing study about "talking dogs" in which researchers are open-minded to feedback and skepticism, which makes it easier to trust someone's findings.
Even without related interspecies communication studies though, we already knew mushrooms had electrical activity and that they can even be made to "sing." The five-minute clip below depicts a person hooking up a synth to some pink oyster mushrooms and recording their funky, spacey beats.
So we're still waiting for a solid verdict on whether mushrooms can talk, but we can still jam out to their fungal melodies in the meantime.

Banaras, also known as Varanasi, is a city in northern India that is famous for its ghats - a series of steps leading down to the banks of the Ganges river. The ghats of Banaras have long been a popular subject for artists, and there are many paintings that depict these iconic locations.
Banaras ghat paintings often feature vibrant colors, intricate details, and a sense of bustling activity. They may show people bathing in the river, performing religious rituals, or going about their daily lives. The paintings may also depict the architecture of the ghats themselves, with their ornate arches, temples, and pavilions.
One notable aspect of Banaras ghat paintings is the way they capture the interplay between light and water. Many of the paintings show the reflection of the ghats in the river, creating a shimmering, dreamlike effect. Others use light and shadow to create a sense of depth and texture.
Banaras ghat paintings can be found in a variety of styles, from traditional Indian miniature painting to contemporary abstract works. They are a testament to the enduring beauty and cultural significance of this ancient city, and serve as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of India.

These are fashioned out of small compositional segments and built up, driven strongly by the rhythm section and congealed by significant soloing from Rabin's electric guitar and Markovitch's sax.
It's the band at its hottest, with fire and irresistible momentum.
There is a core foundation in the harder sort of rock these days, but then a coral-island sort of building upon those foundations with personal originality from both Rabin and Markovitch.
Guitar fans will find much excellent work from Dani Rabin, who has evolved into his own sort of player, hard hitting and sound savvy.

SELLING A PROPERTY
At GDM Legal, we know how stressful selling property can be. If you’re selling your family home, not only are you dealing with the logistics of packing and moving, you may also be trying to settle into a brand new suburb (or even city). Plus, with every type of property, there’s always the concern that you won’t find the right buyer at the right price. We’re committed to making selling property just that little bit easier by taking care of all the legal aspects of selling a house, so you can focus on the packing, moving and settling into your new home.
Steps to Selling a Property
These are the steps you should follow for selling property:
- Prepare your house for sale
- Choose a reliable agent
- Decide on the method for selling the home (private sale or auction)
- Set a reasonable price
- Create and review an agreement with your agent
- Prepare a Section 32 for your property
- Work with your agent to create an effective marketing campaign
- Secure the sale price you’re happy with
- Work through the settlement process with your lawyer or conveyancer
- Transfer the property title
How We Can Help with Selling Your Home
GDM offers a complete legal service for selling property, including:
- An accurate, up-to-date Section 32 (sometimes known as a Vendor Statement) is essential when selling property. This statement must be produced before the house goes on the market as all prospective buyers need to be able to view it. This report needs to cover all the crucial things about the property, such as mortgage details, restrictions placed on the property (drainage, power lines, rights of way) and council zoning laws. If you don't get this step right, you may end up losing a sale, that's why we prepare it for you.
- Settlement is a complicated legal process, involving multiple parties. So that you don't have to go through the stress and headache of reading contracts and liaising with all parties, we take care of it for you. We work with everyone from your mortgagee, to your real estate agent and the buyer to get the settlement process completed as quickly and smoothly as possible.
You can read through our guides on Section 32 statements, settlement and conveyancing costs below.
Why Choose GDM Legal?
GDM Legal was created with a simple aim: to take the stress out of selling your house. Choose GDM Legal because we:
- Provide you with a lawyer who specialises in conveyancing and property law, ensuring you have a dedicated provider of counsel throughout the entire process.
- Understand that time is always an issue when it comes to property sales. That’s why we work in a time-efficient manner. We ensure all the legal regulations have been taken care of, so you don’t miss out on your sale.
- Have created a business model with low overheads so that we can deliver cost-effective conveyancing services.
- Offer flexible contact hours because we know that selling property never runs on a strict schedule.

Introduction: Sinori is a rich and savory breakfast dish from the western seaside region of Adjara in Georgia. It is made with lavash flatbread, Georgian cottage cheese, and butter. Though lesser-known outside of Adjara, it is quite popular locally. If you ever get a chance to visit the region, don’t miss out on trying this delicious dish. Here’s how to prepare Sinori to enjoy a taste of authentic Georgian cuisine at home.
- Lavash flatbread (similar to tortilla)
- 100g of butter
- 200g of cottage cheese or nadughi (similar to ricotta cheese)
- Salt, to taste
- Georgian soft cheese, to taste
- Optional: chopped garlic
Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the cottage cheese and salt to taste. Be cautious not to add too much salt. If desired, add a little bit of chopped garlic for extra flavor. Mix well.
Wrap the lavash flatbread and cut it into rolls.
Place the lavash rolls on a heated pan.
Pour the butter and cheese mixture over the lavash rolls, ensuring it almost covers the pieces.
Add some grated Georgian soft cheese on top and cover the pan.
Cook the dish on low heat for 10 minutes.
Serving: Serve the Ajarian Sinori warm as a delicious and satisfying breakfast dish. Enjoy the unique flavors of this traditional Georgian meal and start your morning with a taste of Adjara.

The New England School of Architectural Woodworking has the best definition we could find for architectural woodwork as:
“…all the wood exposed to view when the building is completed. This includes residential and commercial cabinetry (kitchens, baths, storage, offices, closets), doors, windows, stairs, paneling, trim, and shelving. Almost everything made of wood, built into or attached to the interior of a building.”
Architectural mill work is not limited to built-in to a structure. It can be a free-standing piece such as a rolling kitchen island or a external decoration or visual frame for a door or window. Architectural millwork can be either stock “off-the-shelf”, semi-custom, or custom. If a builder is hoping to create a unique style for a home mill work is the easiest way to stand apart as the off the shelf trim and kitchen types are so uniform they loose personality.
Exterior architectural millwork is not part of the interior of a building. It can include exterior trim, balusters, gable decorations, and columns . Exterior millwork add visual interest to the outside of a structure and so they acquire the architectural label. In times past the craft of home building was more individualized and filled with detail. Gepetto craftsmen have renovated and restored hundreds of Richmond and Virginia historic projects bringing the detail and charm back from gilded age homes.

Bone Anchored Hearing Aids
Some people with a ‘conductive’ hearing loss or single sided deafness can benefit from a bone anchored hearing aid or BAHA.
With a BAHA, a small titanium implant is fitted behind the ear. A small external hearing aid clips onto the implant to allow hearing transmission directly through the bone, bypassing the ear canal. This can be of great benefit to those who can't wear a hearing aid because of repeated infections.
For those with complete or nearly complete hearing loss in one ear, the BAHA can also help by transmitting sound from the deaf side to the good side directly via the bone. Whilst it won't restore hearing in the deaf ear, it helps to cancel the "acoustic shadow" that otherwise exists on that side.
A 'test band' is available so those considering a BAHA can try one out and get an idea of the benefit they may expect.
For more information about the BAHA please follow the link. http://www.cochlear.com/au/baha-bone-conduction-implants
If you would like to arrange an appointment to discuss your symptoms further, please do so via using one of the available options on our contact us page.

Brain as Internet
Of course the brain has to be a distributed network as much as is possible. The really interesting question is how much complexity exists within the neuron itself. I expect this to be quite unusual to unravel and understand.
A really interesting question is to ask exactly where in the brain does consciousness reside? Is it an artifact of the network or the neurons themselves as individual units? Can anything be fixed in a living neural network?
What initiates localized tasking as observed in the brain? How is body management handled and kept from interacting with cognitive function?
There is rising support for a non hierarchical system, encouraged by the outright success of the internet. It is quickly noted that hierarchy interferes with growth. The same must be true for the brain were hierarchy is created through emotional loading.
Brain's Wiring: More Like the Internet Than a Pyramid?
ScienceDaily (Aug. 10, 2010) — The brain has been mapped to the smallest fold for at least a century, but still no one knows how all the parts talk to each other.
A study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences answers that question for a small area of the rat brain and in so doing takes a big step toward revealing the brain's wiring.
The network of brain connections was thought too complex to describe, but molecular biology and computing methods have improved to the point that the National Institutes of Health have announced a $30 million plan to map the human "connectome."
The study shows the power of a new method for tracing brain circuits.
The circuits showed up as patterns of circular loops, suggesting that at least in this part of the rat brain, the wiring diagram looks like a distributed network.
Neuroscientists are split between a traditional view that the brain is organized as a hierarchy, with most regions feeding into the "higher" centers of conscious thought, and a more recent model of the brain as a flat network similar to the Internet.
"We started in one place and looked at the connections. It led into a very complicated series of loops and circuits. It's not an organizational chart. There's no top and bottom to it," said Swanson, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Milo Don and Lucille Appleman Professor of Biological Sciences at USC College.
The circuit tracing method allows the study of incoming and outgoing signals from any two brain centers. It was invented and refined by Thompson over eight years. Thompson is a research assistant professor of biological sciences at the College.
Most other tracing studies at present focus only on one signal, in one direction, at one location.
"[We] can look at up to four links in a circuit, in the same animal at the same time. That was our technical innovation," Swanson said.
The Internet model would explain the brain's ability to overcome much local damage, Swanson said.
"You can knock out almost any single part of the Internet and the rest of it works."
Likewise, Swanson said, "There are usually alternate pathways through the nervous system. It's very hard to say that any one part is absolutely essential."
Swanson first argued for the distributed model of the brain in his acclaimed book Brain Architecture: Understanding the Basic Plan (Oxford University Press, 2003).
The PNAS study appears to support his view.
"There is an alternate model. It's not proven, but let's rethink the traditional way of regarding how the brain works," he said.
"The part of the brain you think with, the cortex, is very important, but it's certainly not the only part of the nervous system that determines our behavior."
The research described in the PNAS study was supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in the National Institutes of Health.

As we enter cold and flu season, prioritizing immune health is essential for staying vibrant and resilient. At Glow Alchemy Kitchen, we’re here to support you with a holistic approach to immunity, incorporating nourishing foods, supplements, lifestyle habits, and more. Here are some actionable tips to help you thrive through the season, along with some of the incredible immunity-boosting offerings available at our cafe.
1. Eat a Healthy Diet
What you eat plays a crucial role in your immune strength. A diet filled with colorful fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals to keep your immune system running at its best. While sugary and processed foods can weaken immunity, nutrient-dense foods help it flourish.
Stop by Glow Alchemy Kitchen to grab a cold-pressed juice or wellness shot packed with immune-supporting ingredients like citrus, ginger, and turmeric. Each of our juices is made to support your body’s natural defenses, delivering a concentrated dose of nutrients to fuel your day.
2. Get Quality Sleep
Sleep is essential for immune function. When you sleep, your body produces cytokines, which are proteins that help fight infection and inflammation. Make sure to get 7-9 hours each night to give your immune system the rest it needs to protect you.
3. Stay Active
Exercise boosts your immune system by promoting good circulation, which allows cells and substances of the immune system to move through the body freely. Aim for 20-30 minutes of moderate exercise daily—take a brisk walk, join a yoga class, or lift some weights to keep your body moving and your immune defenses strong.
4. Hydrate and Nourish
Keeping hydrated is vital for your immune system. Water helps to flush toxins from your body, enabling your immune cells to focus on fighting infections. Alongside water, consider nutrient-packed drinks like our wellness shots or elderberry syrup for an added boost.
Our locally sourced elderberry syrup, available in our grab-and-go section, is a customer favorite for cold and flu season. Elderberries have antiviral properties that may reduce the severity and length of cold symptoms. Add a tablespoon to your morning routine to give your immune system a daily assist.
5. Supplement Wisely
In addition to a balanced diet, certain supplements can enhance your immune defenses. We offer a selection of supplements in our cafe, including zinc, vitamin C, and echinacea—all known to support immune health. And if you’re looking for something a bit more powerful, try a dose of elderberry or astragalus, two herbs with immune-boosting properties that are especially popular this time of year.
6. Gut Health Matters
Did you know that 70% of your immune system resides in your gut? Maintaining a balanced gut microbiome can make a big difference in your immune health. Foods rich in probiotics and prebiotics can help, or you can try our probiotic-packed kombucha available at Glow Alchemy Kitchen.
7. Try Glow’s Cold & Flu Toolkit
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we catch a cold. When that happens, small lifestyle tweaks can ease symptoms and help you recover faster. Here’s a simple “toolkit” to keep handy:
- **Rinse your sinuses** with a neti pot or nasal rinse to clear congestion.
- **Steam shower** to relieve inflammation and help with congestion.
- **Gargle with salt water** to soothe a sore throat.
- **Sip ginger tea with honey and lemon** to break up congestion and ease discomfort.
At Glow Alchemy Kitchen, we’re here to support you every step of the way this cold and flu season. Stop by from Tuesday to Friday, 10 am to 3 pm, to explore our range of immune-boosting cold-pressed juices, wellness shots, supplements, and elderberry syrup. Let’s keep you healthy and thriving all season long!

GOING FOR GOLD
Goldbergh is ready for the sports summer of 2021! During the European Championships 2021, as long as the dutch team is still competing in the tournament, we will donate all profits of our webshop orders to the charity 'Spieren voor Spieren’ (Muscles for Muscles, a charity to prevent and assist children with a muscular disease). To top things off: with every order, you will receive a limited edition bucket hat as a gift.*
The photo shoot was made possible by the great support of the partners of four dutch national team players: Candy-Rae Blind (wife of Daley Blind), Annekee Molenaar (girlfriend of Matthijs de Ligt), Estelle Bergkamp (girlfriend of Donny van de Beek) and Laura Benschop (girlfriend of Davy Klaassen). Together with Goldbergh, they not only support Team Orange, but also ‘Muscles for Muscles’.
SPIEREN VOOR SPIEREN
Spieren voor Spieren is a charity that wants to beat children’s muscular diseases. But it often takes too long before there is a diagnosis and before they benefit from new treatments. Children with a muscular disease can't wait. Every day with a muscular disease is one too many. Spieren voor Spieren connects and activates knowledge and strength to enable faster diagnosis and treatments. That takes a lot of money, time and effort. Together we want to fight for this and use our healthy muscles to raise money for sick muscles. In this way, healing for children with a muscular disease is approaching faster. Let’s put up a fight to beat all children’s muscular diseases!

The sharing of recipes and inspirations between my sister and I living in different hemispheres, Donna in Australia and myself in Portugal. This blog’s beginnings were a way for us to keep in contact, unite our common interests, share, inspire, and reflect on our thoughts about life, cooking, and organic gardening, and as an expression of our creativity.
The photos you see are of our garden, where we live, and the magic, miracles and beauty found in those gardens in the changing seasons. One garden is on a sloped site, surrounding a pool in the suburbs of Brisbane, an Australian city; the other is near historical sites and palaces in a fairytale village in Sintra, complete with swans and ducks in Portugal.
We both love gardening, and these gardens teach us commitment and intuitive wisdom, to let go of expectations and listen, to experience gratitude, and to expect miracles and magic—a true reflection in our daily lives. A garden takes us back to the deep knowledge that there is greater wisdom at work in all we create and experience.
We both aspire to live a quiet and balanced lifestyle inspired by Yogic teachings and to create appropriate food based on these teachings, prepared in a calm and relaxed state of mind. Through these teachings and regular meditation practice, my life has been blessed and enriched, and this blog is a vehicle to share this awareness through recipes, daily life and images.
We hope to inspire you and bring you closer to your own inner quietness through this little window of ‘goodness is’ that we have created.

With school funding consistently decreasing in the last few years, it has become difficult for school administrations to handle extra-curricular activities; especially those associated with sports teams. Most of the schools have just enough to run their curriculum activities. Low and lack of funding have led to a situation where school teams are collapsing because they cannot meet their running expenses.
As a football team patron in your school, you cannot stand your team collapsing as this will have a major impact on your school’s reputation in your county, and talented players may transfer. Here are some strategic methods that you can use to fund the activities of your football team.
1. Crowd Funding
Crowd funding is a strategic school fundraising idea that involves creating an online funding page and sharing it in various online platforms. Crowd funding has consistently proved to be one of the best fundraising strategies because every member of the team, including parents, can contribute. There is also a chance that other well-wishers and interested parties will support the team when the page pops up on their social platforms.
2. Find a Sponsor
Thousands of professional sports teams fund their operations by getting a sponsor. The same can apply for a school football team. There are hundreds of local businesses and organizations that are willing to sponsor the team in exchange for publicity. For example, a local business may request its name to appear on the sports team jersey in exchange for a one-year sponsorship. This funding strategy will help the team to run for a year without financial problems.
3. Online Merchandise Selling
You can create a team store that sells team-branded merchandise through online platforms. Some of the products that you can sell include phone cases, hats, water bottles, and custom t-shirts. To create a team store that operates online, you only need a simple website and a secure payment platform.
4. Sell Branded Team T-Shirts
One of the ways through which fans show support for their school teams is by wearing branded t-shirts. Therefore, you can develop a custom t-shirt and ask people to give an opinion about design and material. If all goes well, you can produce it in bulk and sell to your fans through all the platforms possible. Studies show that approximately two billion t-shirts are sold each year in the world. This is a clear indication that there is a ready market for branded t-shirts.
5. Offer Paid Lessons
To create a team store has sometimes proven to be an expensive fundraising initiative for a school sports team. However, other fundraising ideas such as offering paid lessons to the local football team could prove to be a cheap way of getting some funds to run your team. There are many football teams out there in the neighborhood that do not have professional trainers. Getting two or three experienced players to offer weekly training lessons can generate some funds to cater for minor team expenses.
6. Share Your Facilities
If you have a training ground and other sporting facilities, chances are that you are not using all of them at the same time. Why not create a revenue stream by renting them to the local teams. Gym equipment and other training facilities are very expensive. Local teams and sports clubs consider renting rather than buying.
As you can see, you don’t only have to create a team store to sell merchandise and raise funds for your school football team. Apparel fundraising and sharing training facilities are some of the fundraising ideas for schools you can incorporate. Trends show that most of the class teams have incorporated new revenue sources that fund their operations other than depending on the school administration.

The Trinity and the Vindication of Christian Paradox: An Interpretation and Refinement of the Theological Apologetics of Cornelius Van Til
The Trinity and the Vindication of Christian Paradox, by B. A. Bosserman may not seem to be a relevant book for a blog developing a “gospel hermeneutic of stranger things” at first glance. However, it lays some foundational groundwork in our thinking that is important for a distinctly Christian view of the world which frees us to reject reductionist, rationalistic lenses, and provides a lens more compatible with the biblical world of strange and wonderful things. Rather than seeing paradoxes as contradictions, Bosserman challenges us to embrace a metaphysic and an epistemology rooted in and modeled after God’s triune nature, which is able to delight in paradoxes as mutually implying one another rather than rejecting them as mutually excluding one another. This is not a postmodern abandonment of reason or truth, but it is a call to a copernican revolution in philosophy where the Triune God, rather than the reasoning of men is the center of reality. The outflow of this shift in thinking is an increased delight in mystery and awe, an epistemological humility, and an ability to hold things together that the modern mind may want to separate.

During a meeting with the National Space Council, President Trump ordered the establishment of the Space Force, a sixth branch of the Military. Trump called out Joseph F. Dunford Jr. from the crowd by stating he would be very honored if the general would carry out the assignment. “We got it,” is what the general replied.
This New York Times article describes the common responses revolving around concerns with the added bureaucracy the Space Force would entail and the excessive spreading of resources to accomplish its formation.
Trump’s reasons to establish the Space Force are to monitor commercial traffic, debris, and satellites, it would be “great for jobs”, and increase the psyche of our country. That seems like a colossal undertaking and cost to accomplish those goals. During the 60’s in the midst of the Cold War when anit-Russian sentiments were arguably at an all time high, the muscle flexing space race to get to the moon first at least had the backing of the unified national ego. In my opinion the scales don’t balance to justify a Space Force given what we are told.

WHEREAS, following the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, Alaska Territorial Governor and statesman, Ernest Gruening, laid the foundation for the Alaska Territorial Guard (ATG), which later became the first line of defense if an attack on Alaska were to occur; and
WHEREAS, initially the ATG, was comprised of over 6,000 volunteers, the majority of them Alaska Native, who demonstrated their profound dedication by serving and protecting Alaska during World War II; and
WHEREAS, these courageous volunteers sacrificed their time to patrol and protect approximately 5,200 miles of rough Alaskan coastline. In addition, as many as 15,000 Alaskans participated and supported the ATG; and
WHEREAS, without pay or official provisions, these volunteers continued to serve as soldiers from 1941 to 1947, and represented incredible allegiance to their country and families, and demonstrated the essence of the spirit of the Last Frontier; and
WHEREAS, Alaska Senator Ted Stevens introduced legislation in 2000 in an effort to formally recognize and distinguish the service of ATG volunteers as active federal service, and thereby qualify them for benefits from the Veterans Administration; and
WHEREAS, Senator Ted Stevens’ legislation was passed, and the brave volunteers not only received the recognition they deserved but also the benefits they were overdue; and
WHEREAS, by Alaska State Statute, October 18 of each year is designated for honoring the noble service and sacrifice of Alaska Territorial Guard members in defense of Alaska and the United States during World War II.
NOW THEREFORE, I, Mike Dunleavy, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF ALASKA, do hereby proclaim October 18, 2020 as:
Alaska Territorial Guard Day
in Alaska, and encourage all Alaskans to educate themselves on the important role the Alaska Territorial Guard members and their families provided in our State’s history.

I’m fantastically dismal to report that they have since moved our of LA so our unprecedented Greek Easter doesn’t occur any longer. Who’s Greek and needs to welcome me over? I’LL BRING THE FLAMING CHEESE and the Vegetarian Mezze!

(February 26, 1932 - December 19, 2021)
Roelof Dirk Schuiling (Olaf) passed away last Thursday at the age of 89. Until old age he was committed to saving the world with stones. He believed that if we all did our bit, we could prevent a lot of misery. The founders of greenSand adopted his ideas and have been marketing products made from the CO2-cleaning mineral since 2011.
Eddy Wijnker, the current director of greenSand, learned everything he knows about Olivijn from this special professor: Because I myself did not study, I looked up to the professor, who struck me as a real, distinguished professor. The distance I initially felt disappeared when I was his apprentice and Olaf said: “You are a fast learner”.
“That he felt no distance from the people he spoke to was typical of Olaf, who was called by his first name by everyone instead of professor Schuiling,” says geologist Pol Knops, who is taking over from Olaf in terms of scientific knowledge about Olivine. According to Pol, Olaf was not the archetype of a closet scholar. He remembers the first meeting with Olaf, sometime in 1993:
Someone came in with a bucket of pig manure and a bucket of jarosite (for the non-geologists: looks like manure, but doesn’t stink - ed.). He had figured out that the waste stream (the jarosite) from a factory could react with the pig manure. So that HAD to be tested. And it worked. “Of course,” he said.
Pieter der Weduwen remembers how excited he got when he read in 2017 about Olaf’s proposals for Richard Branson’s “Virgin Earth Challenge” to remove 1 billion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. “I found Olaf’s proposals so fascinating that I contacted him. This great and inspiring man made sure that I founded greenSand together with Eddy a year later.”
Olaf was a man who spoke to everyone and everyone spoke to him. It is striking how many people say "I met him once at a conference. I don't remember anything about the conference. But he made a huge impression on me."
It wasn't just the man himself who made an impression. Many people who visited Olaf at the University of Utrecht remember his room. Eddy says about it: it was full of sand and stones. Pol says: It was a mess. And no, he couldn't find his things himself either. During an annual election of the most messy rooms at the University, to his surprise (or rather indignation) he "only" came third.
greenSand will continue to work together with nature to save the Earth. Because as he himself said: “Look at nature, before you whine too much. We can keep the CO2 problem under control if we use minerals that weather.''
Olaf, thank you!

Combining similarities, creating new synergies, using differences as constructive complements, operating across locations and with a wide reach - the cooperation between Häberer + Partner and MÜNCH. has taken the previous collaboration between the two commercial law firms to a new level since March 2024.
The foundation of this cooperation is the long-standing and collegial collaboration between the founders of the law firm, Frank Häberer and Dr Joël B. Münch.
The pillars of their joint work are their specialisations in the fields of construction and architectural law and real estate law (Häberer + Partner) and commercial law, construction and real estate law as well as commercial and corporate law (MÜNCH.).
By working together as partners, the two cooperation partners are broadening their professional base, expanding their law firms to include the respective locations and thus extending their joint sphere of activity to include the metropolitan regions of Berlin and Leipzig.

Ok so while I do write a bunch of stuff here on this site I am thinking it is maybe time to start writing about more helpful topics. I get a lot of questions about making zines, therefore this will be the first of many posts about zines, magazines, books, and self-publishing in general.
Anyways, there are 3 basic ways to make a zine. For some of you this may seem like very basic info, but you should know that there are people who didn’t know that self publishing is an option. I guess maybe I should start with “Why Make a Zine” because the intention will serve the final format. But let’s go out of order because first rule is no rules. Also obviously I could’ve made “How to Make a Zine” but let’s start here just to have the extended intro to the topic.
Disclaimer : When I refer to zines, magazines, and books I am mostly (99%) talking about photography zines, magazines, and books. This stuff should apply to any genre but we are coming from a photography side of things. FYI.
3 Ways to Make a Zine
As I am writing this more pre-post ideas keep popping up like, “What is a Zine?” should be the first post. I’ll write that later. For today’s purposes we shall say a zine is decorated pieces of paper, folded in half, stapled and reproduced in quantity for the purpose of distribution. And by decorated I mean decorated with photos. And by reproduced I mean xerox copies, photo copies, laser copies, digital copies.. whatever you want to call them. Also this is just 3 ways to make a zine, there might be a lot more.
Option A – Rubber Cement
This is the traditional way. My favorite way. You take your content (photos) and edit them with scissors. Then glue them to paper. Then make copies of that “master copy” and then collate, fold, and staple. I like to use rubber cement because it holds good but you can also still peel it off and re-position things if need be. Regular glue is messy and too permanent. Tape is just annoying. But again, no rules. Rubber cement is just my preference.
Option B – Rubber Cement and Photoshop.
Edit your pages on Photoshop and print it out on a printer. Turn those prints into a “master copy” with rubber cement and paper. I made zines this way for years. Instead of chopping up my 4×6 photos with scissors, I could scan them, resize in Photoshop, print them out and use them that way.
Option C – Photoshop and Indesign.
This is the modern way. It is so fast and easy. Edit photos in Photoshop, lay them out in Indesign. Export to pdf. This pdf is your “master copy”. Nowadays you can take your usb thumb drive to Kinko’s, plug it into a copier or any printer, and print out 1000s of copies of your zine. Or you can upload your pdf to a bunch of different services online and they will mail you your zines. Or, the way I do it, is go buy a laser printer that does double sided printing. I output my pdfs and then just fold and staple and boom I’m done.
I will go into more detail on this in the next one, “How to Make a Zine”. I just thought it might be cool to do shorter more frequent posts. I think I will title this series of posts “Zine Masters”, get it? Making master copies to make copies off of.

I’ve included some videos below for those who prefer to watch rather than read.
Slow cooker beef stew is the perfect comfort food for chilly days. You can make this hearty meal with minimal effort. Just toss beef chunks, veggies, and seasoning into your crockpot and let it work its magic.
Your kitchen will smell amazing as the beef stew simmers all day. When it’s done, you’ll have tender meat and flavorful veggies in a rich gravy. It’s a great way to feed your family or guests without spending hours in the kitchen.
Exact Ingredients (+ Possible Substitutes)
Making a tasty slow cooker beef stew is easy with the right ingredients. You can also swap out some items if needed.
Slow Cooker Beef Stew Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for a classic beef stew:
- 2 lbs chuck roast, cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 potatoes, cubed
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas
Mix the flour and spices in your slow cooker. Toss the beef in this mix. Add the broth and veggies. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
Don’t worry if you’re missing some items. Try these swaps:
- Use stew meat instead of chuck roast
- Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes or parsnips
- Replace peas with green beans or corn
- Use chicken broth if you’re out of beef broth
- No tomato paste? Use ketchup or tomato sauce
For a thicker stew, mix 2 tbsp flour with 1/2 cup broth. Add this near the end of cooking. You can also use cornstarch for a gluten-free option.
Start by trimming the chuck roast and cutting it into large chunks. Chop the onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes.
Mix flour, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in your slow cooker. Add the beef and toss to coat it evenly.
Pour in beef broth and add the chopped vegetables. Stir in some tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The meat should be tender enough to cut with a spoon when done.
About 30 minutes before serving, make a slurry by mixing flour with a little stew broth. Stir this into the slow cooker to thicken the stew.
If you like, add some frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking for a pop of color and freshness.
Give everything a good stir before serving. Your hearty, comforting beef stew is now ready to enjoy!
Tips, Tricks & Storing
Browning the beef before adding it to the slow cooker gives your stew extra flavor. Make sure to pat the meat dry first for better browning.
Cut veggies into large, even chunks. This helps them cook at the same rate and keeps them from getting mushy.
For thicker gravy, mix a little flour with cold water and stir it in during the last hour of cooking.
Don’t peek! Each time you lift the lid, heat escapes and can add 20-30 minutes to your cooking time.
Try adding a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar for depth of flavor.
You can store leftover stew in the fridge for 3-4 days. It often tastes even better the next day!
To freeze, let the stew cool completely. Put it in airtight containers or freezer bags. It will keep for up to 3 months.
When reheating, thaw in the fridge overnight if frozen. Warm gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.
Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives just before serving for a burst of flavor and color.

Levels of fly-tipping can be affected by a variety of economic and social issues. Therefore, what is required in a fly-tipping prevention and enforcement strategy will differ between local authorities and will be for each authority to determine.
However, in general terms, important elements of fly-tipping prevention and enforcement may include: close monitoring and analysis of fly-tipping levels in order to locate and understand hotspots; effective communication with residents and businesses on correct waste management; a clear, well communicated policy for dealing with offenders; and a joined-up approach within the local authority and neighbouring districts.
In order to help local authorities formulate fly-tipping prevention strategies, Defra commissioned the Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science, part of University College London, to carry out research into the causes and incentives for fly-tipping and the best ways to prevent it (Fly-tipping: Causes, Incentives and Solutions).
A full report and good practice guide for local authorities was published in July 2006 and is available from the Defra website.

Linux gaming is an obscure niche. One that is rapidly growing thanks to its use in handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, there’s a long way to go before it can challenge Windows. Unlike the latter, AMD graphics drivers are much more mature on Linux than its rivals. As shown by the below benchmarks (courtesy of Phoronix), Team Red is the obvious choice here:
The Radeon RX 7600 is markedly faster than the GeForce RTX 4060, while the RX 6700 XT easily beats the RTX 3070 Ti. Higher up, the Radeon RX 6800 squishes the RTX 3080, and so does the RX 7700 XT. Strangely, the RX 6800 XT is faster than the RX 7800 XT. And it is the case in every single game.
One can easily chalk this down to a CPU bottleneck, but looking at RX 6800 XT’s 40 FPS lead in “The Talos Principle” makes me wonder if it has something to do with the drivers or the API. Here, the RX 6800 is nearly as fast as the RX 7800 XT, so it could just be a CPU limitation, but you never know.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a title that scales exceptionally well on fast hardware. And yet again, the RX 6800 XT decisively defeats the RX 7800 XT, while the RTX 3080 moves past the RX 6800. This is the only game tested by Phoronix (till this point) where we see this happen. It is also the only title where the RTX 3070 edges past the RX 6700 XT.
As you can see, most of the GPUs switch places from game to game, but the RX 6800 XT is firmly lodged ahead of the RX 7800 XT, indicating a driver-side issue. F1 2022 produces the same behavior. The 6800 XT is on the top, followed by the 7800 XT and the RTX 3080.
RDNA 3 GPUs don’t seem to have much of an advantage on Linux. Apart from the RX 7800 XT, the RX 7700 XT also loses to the RX 6800 in nearly every game. In the above example, the performance delta is as wide as 26 FPS. It’s not something you see in every CPU-limited scenario.

Bertie claims that the economy is not on a downturn.
He says it’s a minor thing.
He hasn’t clue, for someone who is supposed to have his finger on the pulse.
Maybe he is referring to his private finances, which seem to be very healthy, what with all the donations he gets, and all.
I got a bill yesterday. It’s a monthly one. I was horrified to see the amount this month.
It has gone up by 48%. I worked it out. Take last months figure; multiply by 148 and divide by 100 and you get the bottom figure.
I think that is scandalous.
Now I have to go and write a cheque to them, and then head down to post it.
I like to pay my bills on time.

Tip 1: Visual search
Microsoft Edge includes a feature called Visual search, which is enabled by default.
When you hover over an image, a small “viewfinder” icon appears; click this and Microsoft Bing will perform a search for similar images.
While this can be handy if you know it is going to happen, it can be disconcerting, and can even get in the way.
To disable this feature, click the horizontal ellipsis menu ⋯ below the icon and choose Hide for this site (extensis.com) or Hide always.
You can re-enable this option under Appearance in Settings for Microsoft Edge.
Note: While Edge offers this feature by right-clicking to display a context menu, this will not work with Connect Assets because Connect intercepts the right-click to display its own menu.

When you purchase Adobe Lightroom from Mac App Store, you can find two identical versions of Adobe Lightroom installed on your Mac. This can happen due to one of the following reasons:
- You purchased Adobe Lightroom from Adobe and from Mac App Store.
- You downloaded Lightroom trial from Creative Cloud desktop app and later purchased Lightroom from Mac App Store.
- You purchased Lightroom from Mac App Store and then installed Lightroom from Creative Cloud desktop app as well.
You’re viewing help for Photoshop Lightroom.
Not your version? View help for Photoshop Lightroom Classic.
All of your photos are stored in the cloud and both versions of Lightroom app uses the same library, so your photos are safe.
Since both the versions access the same cloud-based library, you can use both the versions. However, it is not recommended.
You should keep the version installed from the store where you purchased the app. This way, you are assured that the app will be updated consistently.
You can check your plan to identify the store from where you purchased Lightroom.
You can identify the version from the installation path of Lightroom on your system:
- Lightroom installed from Adobe: /Applications/Adobe Lightroom/Adobe Lightroom.app
- Lightroom installed from Apple: /Applications/Adobe Lightroom.app

Saving for a Short-Term Goal
Those of us who are serious about planning for our financial lives tend to focus most of our attention on strategies to reach our key, long-term goals such as retirement or a child’s higher education. We may not put much strategic thought into how we set money aside to meet more immediate needs. While short-term goals don’t usually carry as big of price tags, reaching them can require the same principles of planning that are essential with achieving long-term goals.
What are short-term goals?
As the name implies, short-term goals have to do with more immediate financial objectives, needs and opportunities. It can be as simple as setting aside enough money each month to pay down certain debts. For example, most people realize that holding credit card debt is very expensive because of the significant related financing costs. Paying off that debt might be an important short-term goal. So is building up an emergency fund to cover unanticipated expenses like a major car or home repair.
You may also set aside money for a down payment on a car or house that you’d like to purchase in the next six months to two years. This, too, is a short-term goal that can benefit from a savings strategy.
Setting your priorities
Short-term goals may not require the significant dollars or the time commitment required for a long-term objective like retirement. Yet it’s still important to determine how these goals fit into your overall budget and savings priorities.
For many people, having an emergency fund with three-to-six months’ worth of income in place is important. This provides a financial cushion should you suddenly lose a job or suffer an injury or illness that makes it impossible to work. If you work independently or own your own business, consider building an even larger financial safety net.
Paying down debts is another important priority. Whether it’s a car loan, student loan or credit card debt, interest charges may be costing you money each month. A starting point is to make sure you stay current with payments. Finding ways to set aside extra money to pay off these debts more quickly can prove to be beneficial to your long-term financial well-being.
Short-term vs. long-term: it’s not an either/or
How will you budget for goals like these with all of the other demands on your finances? Your long-term goals, like retirement or building an education fund, should remain top priorities – but it’s not an all-or-nothing proposition. With thoughtful planning, you can continue to make progress toward your long-term goals while also meeting shorter-term priorities.
Talk to your financial advisor about how to incorporate short-term goals into your comprehensive financial plan.

Alec Baldwin pleads not guilty to manslaughter in ‘Rust’ case
One day before he was set to appear for arraignment in a New Mexico courtroom, Alec Baldwin pleaded not guilty through a court filing Thursday to involuntary manslaughter charges stemming from the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film “Rust.”
Baldwin, 64, entered the plea in a two-page court document in which he also asked that he be permitted to waive his scheduled Friday appearance in court. Santa Fe First District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer approved the request.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on “Rust,” is also charged with involuntary manslaughter and is still scheduled to appear in a New Mexico courtroom Friday for arraignment.
Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed were both charged last month with involuntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act. Prosecutors said the pair were being charged “in the alternative,” meaning it will be up to a jury to decide which level of involuntary manslaughter they allegedly committed in the Oct. 21, 2021, shooting.
Prosecutors originally included a firearm enhancement in the charge of involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act, but New Mexico First Judicial Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies announced Monday that the enhancement had been dropped. The enhancement could have opened Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed to a sentence of up to five years behind bars, but they now face a maximum of 18 months.
The decision came after Baldwin’s attorneys filed a motion challenging the validity of the enhancement, saying it was not in effect at the time of the shooting, which occurred on the “Rust” film set outside Santa Fe.
A representative for Carmack-Altwies said the decision to drop the firearm enhancement was made “in order to avoid further litigious distractions by Mr. Baldwin and his attorneys.”
“The prosecution’s priority is securing justice, not securing billable hours for big-city attorneys,” Heather Brewer said in the statement.
Hutchins, 42, was fatally shot with a bullet discharged from a prop weapon wielded by Baldwin, who was holding the gun while helping to set camera angles for an upcoming scene. The bullet also struck and wounded film director Joel Souza.
Baldwin, who is also a producer on the film, has insisted he was told the gun was “cold,” or contained no live rounds. He has also insisted that while he pulled back the hammer on the weapon, he never pulled the trigger.
Baldwin’s attorney, Luke Nikas, previously called the charges “a terrible miscarriage of justice.”
“Mr. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun — or anywhere on the movie set,” Nikas said. “He relied on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds. We will fight these charges, and we will win.”
Attorneys for Gutierrez-Reed have also denied that she did anything wrong, even suggesting at one point that others on the set tried to “sabotage” the production by mixing live rounds with blanks.
Attorneys Jason Bowles and Todd Bullion said in a joint statement Tuesday that the charges and probable-cause statement filed by prosecutors show that “the district attorney has completely misunderstood the facts and has reached the wrong conclusions.”
“Hannah pleaded to provide more firearms training,” they said. “She was denied and brushed aside. Hannah asked to be able to perform her armorer duties more for safety reasons. She was told by production to focus on props.
“Hannah asked (assistant director David) Halls if they could us a plastic gun for the rehearsal scene and he said no, wanting a `real gun.’ Hannah asked to be called back into the church if Baldwin was going to use the gun at all and Halls failed to do that. Yet the district attorney has given Halls a six-month probation misdemeanor and charged Hannah and Baldwin with felony offenses carrying at least five years in prison.
“The tragedy of this is had Hannah just been called back into the church by Halls, she would have performed the inspection and prevented this tragedy. We will fight these charges and expect that a jury will find Hannah not guilty.”
Halls has pleaded no contest to a charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon. That deal, which still needs judicial approval, calls for him to receive a suspended sentence and six months probation.
Sheriff’s investigators determined that live ammunition was found on the “Rust” set, mixed with blanks that are traditionally used in film production.
Hutchins’ death led to industry-wide calls for improvements in on-set safety, particularly in regard to the use of firearms.

Fun Trailer for Michel Gondry’s Animated Film ‘Maya, Give Me a Title’
“We’re in my daddy’s film.” Indie Sales has revealed a first look trailer for a new Michel Gondry project called Maya, Give Me a Title, which is the exact translation of the original French title Maya, donne-moi un titre. This 61-minute, stop-motion animation papercraft movie from Gondry was finished between The Book of Solutions and his upcoming Pharrell Williams film Atlantis (due out May 2025). Much like The Book of Solutions, it’s another autobiographical film about his own artistic experiences. A father & daughter maintain their bond despite living in different countries through an imaginative evening ritual where she suggests a title and he then creates short animated films starring her as the hero. “Gondry once again takes us into his unique world with this poetic and enchanting declaration of love from a father to his daughter.” Featuring the voice of Pierre Niney as the narrator his own daughter Maya Gondry (in the photo below). “This is a montage of several of the 60 short films I made for Maya between 2017 and 2023 between her 3 and 8 years old,” he explains. “I used a very simple process, with paper and a camera, and I hope that it will make parents want to share this technique with their children.” I hope it inspires more creative minds, too.
Here’s the first official trailer for Michel Gondry’s film Maya, Give Me a Title, direct from YouTube:
Maya and her dad, Michel Gondry, live in two different countries. In order to stay in touch, her dad asks her every evening, “Maya, give me a title.” Based on whatever her answer is, he creates a short animated reply in which Maya is the hero. Michel Gondry brings to life a poetic and amusing journey that will have the little ones dreaming…and the grown-ups smiling. Maya, Give Me a Title, originally known as Maya, donne-moi un titre in French, is written and directed by the acclaimed French filmmaker Michel Gondry, director of the films Human Nature, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep, Be Kind Rewind, The Green Hornet, The We and the I, Mood Indigo, Microbe & Gasoline, and The Book of Solutions most recently, plus tons of shorts & music videos. Produced by Georges Bermann. The film already opened in France this fall. No other dates are set yet – stay tuned for updates. Look any good? Who wants to watch?

Watch: Vibrant Animated Short ‘Acid Rain’ About a Girl Going to a Rave
“No idea where we are.” Remember raves? Anyone miss them? After watching this short film, you might be glad they’re not happening much anymore. Not always the best experience. Acid Rain is an animated short from Poland made by animation filmmaker Tomek Popakul. This first premiered in 2019 and we missed it then, but thanks to Short of the Week we have a chance to experience it now. When a runaway teenage girl meets Skinny, a peculiar drug dealer, the infatuation quickly shows its darker side. “With a sound design as impressive as its visuals, director Tomek Popakul has created an animated trip with sociopolitical layers and great beats.” This girl ends up on an intense trip with psychedelic mushrooms, traveling to an underground rave in the forest where she encounters all kinds of strange people. The voice cast features Daria Bułka, Piotr Bułka, & Maciej Miszczak. It’ a trippy short that runs long, but I dig the imagery and honest story.
Thanks to Short of the Week for the tip on this debuting on YT. Brief synopsis for Acid Rain from YouTube: “After running away from her depressing village in Eastern Europe, a teen girl embarks on a pupil-dilating journey through rave culture after meeting a wild new friend on a bridge.” Acid Rain is a short film written and directed by the Polish filmmaker Tomek Popakul – he does not have an official website or IG available right now. Popakul is an animator, director and screenwriter. He graduated in animation and screenwriting from the Łódź Film School. Acid Rain is produced by Piotr Szczepanowicz and Grzegorz Waclawek. Made by Animoon. With cinematography and editing and animation by Tomek Popakul. This initially premiered at the 2019 Rotterdam Film Festival a few years ago, and it also played at Sundance and many other festivals. For more info on this film, visit It’s Nice That or SOTW.

This video shows the viewer how to repair a section of damaged molding surrounding a door or window. The method shown uses WD40 and polyester resin. Firstly an undamaged section of the molding is sprayed with WD40 and then covered in resin. Once the resin has hardened the WD40 allows it to be removed and used as a mould. The mould is then sprayed with more WD40 and is filled with new resin. This is allowed to harden and then removed. The resin replica of the molding is then sanded and cut to fit. Once the molding has been replaced and repainted it is nearly impossible to distinguish from the surrounding wood. For more information and more detailed instructions, as well as a demonstration, please see the video.

A huge thank you to Steph for helping us deal with such a heartbreaking day when we had to decide to put our sweet girl Inca to sleep. Nothing quite prepares you for the day of making that ultimate decision and having Steph come to our home to remove all the stress and disruption at such short notice, made it so much easier for us, especially Inca. Having Inca’s final moments in the comfort of our home made it so much more peaceful and Steph really looked after both Inca and our needs. The service that Steph provides is so professional, respectful and personal. Although it broke our hearts to say goodbye, Steph really put both us and Inca at ease. A massive thank you Steph from both me and Ian, looking back on that day, we will be forever grateful that we had you to help us through it.

Roel Santos is a Texas-based runner who finds meaning in the family traditions of running, parenthood, and cultural heritage. We love the joy he brings to life and sport, so we wanted to hear more about his story on and off the course.
Hey Roel, tell us a little about yourself.
I'm 38 years old, born and raised in South Texas in Alice, TX. I grew up always loving sports‚ mostly basketball, but I loved to run. I always found a place of peace when I did that. My uncle was a runner, as was my dad. The competitive edge they both had ran deep in our family. As I got older, I always talked about running marathons, and in 2018 I finally achieved the dream of running a marathon as I ran the Rock N Roll here in San Antonio. Since then I've run two half marathons and am planning on running the Chicago Marathon next year. In the process of running and training for the marathons I raised over $1,500 for St Jude being a Hero for the foundation.
What's the most important thing you've been a part of and why?
First and foremost, my family. Being a father, and husband has been such a blessing. My wife and kids motivate me to be the best version of myself every single day. I couldn't ask for more, seeing their faces everyday just reminds me I need to be on my A game. Second, being my father's son. Growing up in the same town he did was a cool experience. Sometimes I couldn't go anywhere without someone knowing who I was, because I'm a spitting image of my father. He was very involved in the community, with fundraisers and helping people in need. He always wanted me and my sisters to understand our heritage and where we came from because it was important to him.
How did this experience impact you personally?
My wife and kids are my driving force every day. If I'm having a moment, I like to take a step back and re-assess and try to regain focus on my work. Failure isn't an option for me, so I always try to be positive. It's absolutely the greatest feeling in the word to be a husband and father. Like I mentioned, it's the single greatest feeling I've ever felt. Being part of our family as a whole, being Hispanic, it's an amazing feeling. I like to hear stories about my great grandparents and my grandparents from my mom and dad, and it just makes me feel proud to be in this family history. Especially in today's landscape, I feel that we as Americans all need to know where we came from and how our family started. Culture is something that has become everything to me recently.
As an athlete, who was/is your inspiration, and why?
Oh wow, I feel like there are so many. Living in San Antonio, I'd have to say Manu Ginobili is one. Kobe Bryant is another, and Eliud Kipchoge is one as well. All of them embodied that killer instinct, competitive spirit, and wanted to be the best! Mamba Mentality is something that has been embedded into my daily life and routine the last 3 years.
How did you get into basketball?
My father played basketball, he wanted to me play, height ran in our family. When I was about 6 years old, he tried to get me into the boys and girls club league and I quit the first day. He didn't want to push me so he let me be. That was probably the best thing because of what happened next. He loves to tell people this story‚ he heard a crashing noise outside and when he looked out, he saw me using a soccer ball and I was shooting it in the trash can. I kept moving back after I made one. He soon put up a goal, and I practiced every day.
You've since moved onto running. How are basketball and distance running similar?
Very similar, to get better you have to put a lot of work in. You have to be focused, and most of all you have to carry a lot of patience. There's that saying goes, it's a marathon not a sprint, and not to sound too cliche but it holds true. And most of all? You have to want to get better.

Leading causes of fires in residential housing are from open flames and careless smoking. Both the burning of candles and smoking are prohibited in university buildings.
Use battery-operated flameless candles, which can look, smell, and feel like real candles.
Always use a flashlight—not a candle—for emergency lighting.
To prevent a deadly cigarette fire, you must be alert. You will not be alert if you are sleepy, have taken medicine or drugs that make you drowsy, or have consumed alcohol.
If you smoke, smoke outside. Before you throw out butts and ashes, make sure they are out. Put them out in water or sand.
Do not throw cigarettes into vegetation, potted plants or landscaping, peat moss, dried grasses, mulch, leaves, and other similar items—they can easily catch fire.

Probably either George Washington or John Quincy Adams. One of them created a government from scratch and then let it go without permanently taking it over. The other spared the American people by (thankfully) doing nothing notable for four years.
I think Abraham Lincoln, he was able to preserve the Union.
This question was asked a few weeks ago.
At that time I said it was George Washington because he created the office, did not let it develop any royal trappings and limited himself to two terms which became customary until Roosevelt ran for a third and fourth term, at which time the Constitution was amended to limit the person to two terms.
Washington comes in first.
Lincoln comes in second and
Harry Truman comes in third--having the courage to use the atomic bomb and working hard to rebuild Europe in record time.
Thanks for letting me know the question was asked a few weeks ago. I will let someone know who cares.
Was just an observation and not a complaint. I did not intend to offend.
No offense taken. It is just that you could say that about almost every question asked on hubpages.
You are probably right. This one just hit me as more recent. I will be more careful with such observations in future. Have a good day.
Well thank you for the honesty and I will look a little harder to make sure it has been a while since a question was asked. I just never saw the question even after hitting the similar question suggestion.
If I'm not mistaken most historians rate Lincoln #1 and Roosevelt #2 and Washington or Jefferson #3. That works for me. (Larry, I'm a Truman fan also. My grandmother grew up down the street from Bess Truman.

I read Shadowpact #2 last night. So far the book does read better than Day of Vengeance, probably in large part because Bill Willingham can set his own schedule instead of the must-be-6-issues policy of the Infinite Crisis lead-ins.
One of the villains struck me as familiar, though: an albino swordsman with a magic sword, apparently allied to a sinister god-like being, who has picked up the nickname, “the White Rabbit.”
Actually, I was first reminded of Count Zodiac from Michael Moorcock’s Multiverse, largely because Zodiac is based in the 20th century, rather than an ancient sword-and-sorcery landscape. Count Zodiac is one of at least three versions of Count Ulric von Bek*—the others appear in The Dragon in the Sword and the trilogy that begins with The Dreamthief’s Daughter—and, like Elric, an incarnation of the Eternal Champion.
The Eternal Champion in all his forms fights for the balance between order and chaos, and often finds himself fighting for order while indebted to a lord of chaos. At least two versions** of von Bek are albinos who wield the Black Sword (Ravenbrand, rather than Stormbringer), and while I don’t recall Ulric himself being linked to a demon the way Elric is reluctantly linked to Arioch of Chaos, the von Bek family has ties to Lucifer going back to the Hundred Thirty Years War.

Wright is set to lead a significant growth initiative for The Pools in 2025, launching a high-profile, multi-channel marketing campaign aimed at elevating the brand’s presence.
Wright brings a wealth of expertise in finance, customer experience, sales, and marketing, having held substantial roles in renowned sports companies. She joined The Adidas Group in 2009 and later became Reebok’s Global Go-to-Market Director in 2013, where she spearheaded the successful launches of the Reebok-Crossfit partnership in the UK and the Reebok-Les Mills partnership globally. Her efforts significantly expanded Reebok’s presence in the studio category, further solidifying its global market position.
Earlier in her career, Wright played a pivotal role in growing Nike and Adidas’ women’s business to become the leading segment in the UK and Ireland. In 2017, she founded her own consultancy, Sports Business Growth, focusing on the intersection of sports and technology, specifically apps and subscription models.
Wright is also Chair of Powerplay The Future, a platform connecting investors with female-led startups, and serves on the Advisory Board for Everything in Sport, a global network of top executives in the sports industry.
In her new role at The Pools, Wright will collaborate closely with CEO James Arnold and report to COO Steve Talbot as she drives the brand’s strategic marketing initiatives into the future.
Sharon Wright, The Pools Marketing Director, said: “I came to The Pools as a consultant and I always knew the value of this iconic brand. The immense amount of potential I could see to help take this back to where it belongs was an opportunity I could not resist. Coupled with the fact I get to work with James and Steve who I greatly admire. They are a dynamic force, proven in the industry and their energy and drive is infectious and something I wanted to be part of.
“It’s an exciting moment for us as we relaunch this iconic brand with a campaign that celebrates its timeless appeal while connecting with today’s audience in new and engaging ways. It showcases our investment in our products and customer experience.”
James Arnold, The Pools CEO, said: “The Pools is a British institution. We celebrated our 100-year anniversary last year and there just aren’t brands out there in our industry with the same history and heritage.
“We’ve been working hard to modernise our technical infrastructure and improve the wider product portfolio, culminating in the move to a new gaming platform and the relaunch of a new website at the end of this year. We have high expectations in 2025 as we rebrand, relaunch, and reintroduce The Pools to a new audience.
“We wanted some fresh thinking when it comes to marketing, and with Sharon’s experience at such global sporting brands, combined with her outstanding background in growth strategy, it was clear she was the ideal candidate for this position.

New Delhi–Twenty-three lakh Indian diaspora are reinforcing New Delhi-Ottawa relations and contributing to the development of both nations, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh said as he met a high-level delegation on Wednesday.
Singh told Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan province who was leading the delegation, that the presence of the Indian diaspora in the Canadian Parliament and the cabinet is a testimony of longstanding relations between the two countries.
Acknowledging the positive contributions made by the Indian community, the minister said they act as a bridge between the two nations as Canada is one of the most favoured destinations for Indian students for higher education.
Singh also mentioned PM Narendra Modi’s invitation to India’s diaspora to do research in India’s premier institutions and contribute to its progress under the VAIBHAV fellowship programme.
Cooperation and collaboration in areas like Electric Vehicles, Cyber Physical System, Quantum Technologies, Future Manufacturing, Green Hydrogen Fuel, Deep Ocean Mining etc were also discussed, a Ministry of Science & technology release stated.
He told the delegation that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India established the ‘Anusandhan’ National Research Foundation.
The foundation prioritises research in areas of technology and science to foster and revitalise the innovation ecosystem with around 60-70 per cent participation of the private sector.
He also emphasised that the government is keen on opening arms to welcome non-governmental organisations to contribute to technology development and support them.
The meeting comes as India is keen to develop research collaborations with Canadian R&D institutions and technology collaborations with Canadian industries.
Speaking of Canada and India relations, Moe said it has made great strides in recent years and has become truly multidimensional, spurred by a significant convergence of interests, mutual goodwill, and exchanges.
He said the relationship has grown between India and Saskatchewan, especially after opening their office in Delhi, and strengthens their resolve to work with India and achieve collective growth.
After arriving in New Delhi on Tuesday, Moe met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar who praised the Indians in Canada for serving as a bridge between the two nations.
“Appreciate @PremierScottMoe’s strong support for our partnership and looking forward to deepening our cooperation,” Jaishankar said as he also shared a picture of the two leaders shaking hands.
“An important supplier of potash, lentils, and uranium. Saskatchewan’s Indian-origin community has truly been a bridge between us,” he added.
Saskatchewan is home to 15,660 Indians, according to the 2021 census, and from 2016 to 2021, immigrants from India made up 18.4 per cent of total immigrants moving into the province.
The province’s exports to India stand at more than $1 billion and roughly make up a third of Canada’s total exports to the country. In addition, the province also has a trade and investment office in New Delhi. (IANS)

One day two men, avid fishermen and nature lovers, Brandon Key and Jason Frost, went to the wild and wild Warrior River, away from civilization. They regularly went on such trips during vacations, and of course a lot of interesting things happened during them, but perhaps it was this fishing trip that the boys would remember best for the rest of their lives.
When Brandon and Jason had gone so far away, when there were no more settlements for dozens and dozens of miles away from them. There was one island on the river where they had been fishing – it was very small, and of no interest at all. And yet at some point the men turned their eyes there, for there was some movement, and then there was a splash, and “something” swam toward them on the water.
What it was, the men did not know at first. A beaver? An otter? A muskrat? No one could figure it out until the mysterious beast moved closer. But when it did, it was clear – it was a red cat.
The guys swam up to him and dragged him into the boat, as the emaciated, emaciated animal could barely swim. They had barely got on board when they heard another splash, again near the islet. And again a familiar red silhouette swam to the boat, again the men dragged on board an almost exact copy of the first cat.
After a dive with the rescued men around the island one of the men decided to get off the boat and look for other cats, but a thorough inspection of the small island gave no results, apparently there were only two cats. But how they got there is a big, big question. As has already been said, there are no settlements near that place, so it is unlikely that cats, which, by the way, were not afraid of people, could have come to the island by themselves.
Most likely, someone “carefully” brought them there, although it is difficult to imagine why they had to go to such an unimaginable distance, and even to swim to the island. In general, it is clear that there is nothing to understand.
One way or another, the men got the cats. The fishing trip was over and they had to get ready for the return trip. They did not know yet where to put the animals, but the question was resolved itself. Back at the usual spot, where Brandon and Jason had launched the boat, a family had spotted them.
It was hard not to notice the men’s boat, for it had two redheads on the bow. In general, the vacationers approached the fishermen when they were moored to the shore, and learned the above story. Since the family was with children, the children immediately began to ask to take the kittens, and after a few minutes, the parents gave in – so fluffy from the island and were at home with loving people.

Our investment account growth includes any gains or losses from your investments you have bought and sold. Your Stocks & Shares ISA and your General Investment Account will each have their own growth, reflected on your homepage. This is the calculation for each of your investment account’s growth:
Closing account balance - (opening account balance + cash flows)
This calculation includes your ‘realised gains or losses’ - which means the actual gains or losses from investments you have sold.
This is the calculation you see on your homepage below each of your investment account’s balances.
Your fund growth, on the other hand, only includes your ‘unrealised gains’. You can see each of your fund’s growth by first selecting your account (Stocks & Shares ISA or General Investment Account) from your ‘Invest’ tab.
Your fund growth is the potential profit or loss for your investments right now, which have yet to be sold. If you have bought and sold an investment, the gains on that investment will not be included in these calculations. This is the calculation for any individual fund you invest in:
Current value - Book value
It's also worth noting that the current value of your fund is calculated based on your quantity of units held x the current fund price.
While both of these growth calculations are available on your Chip app, they are calculated by our custodian, Seccl Custody Limited. They provide the behind-the-scenes technology which powers our investment platform. They are responsible for holding your cash and investments. But, you do not need to speak with them if you have any questions for your Chip account. Our team is here to help. You can read more about Seccl here.

Guests gamble by playing games of chance (and in some cases skill). Most casino games have built-in odds that ensure the house always wins. This advantage is known as the house edge, and it makes casinos profitable. A casino’s success depends on encouraging guests to play for longer periods of time and take more risks. It also needs to make the experience fun and enjoyable, even when it’s losing money.
Unlike his Mafia movies, “Mean Streets” and “Goodfellas,” Scorsese’s Casino takes an objective approach to the subject matter. It’s a film that examines the city of Las Vegas and the mob’s relationship with it. The movie lays bare an intricate web of corruption that centered on the city, with tendrils reaching out to politicians, Teamsters unions, and the Midwest mob based in Kansas City.
People love to learn why they should do things, so comprehensive lists are a great way to bring traction to your casino website. This type of content is also highly shareable, which helps you reach a large audience. A comprehensive list of the best casino games is one such piece of content. It features popular titles from leading software providers, including NetEnt, Amatic, Pragmatic Play, and Evolution Gaming. It also includes newer titles that have garnered popularity. This content will appeal to players from different regions and give your website a well-rounded offering of the latest games. It’s a must-have for any iGaming website.

Lithium-ion battery performance and degradation in stationary energy storage
Time: Fri 2024-11-22 10.00
Location: K1, Teknikringen 56, Stockholm
Subject area: Chemical Engineering
Doctoral student: Mathilda Ohrelius , Tillämpad elektrokemi
Opponent: Associate Professor Daniel Stroe, Aalborg Universitet, Danmark
Supervisor: Professor Göran Lindbergh, Tillämpad elektrokemi; Professor Rakel Wreland Lindström, Tillämpad elektrokemi
Electrification is our most promising strategy to create a sustainable energy system and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels. A balanced power grid system is the backbone of the electrified society, distributing electricity from renewable energy sources and powering our vehicles, industries, and electronics. Lithium-ion batteries are a key technology for both stationary and mobile energy storage and their optimal utilization should be carefully considered. Various degradation mechanisms contribute to performance fade in lithium-ion batteries. A key area of battery research is therefore to detect and characterize these mechanisms and predict their effects on battery performance. In this thesis, the performance of batteries is investigated in battery energy storage system (BESS) applications. The research questions cover different types of grid balancing services, methods to evaluate battery state of health (SOH) as well as the mechanisms causing the capacity and power fade. A combination of physics-based modelling and electrochemical techniques are applied, and the results combined to better understand the degradation and its consequences.
Frequency regulation, peak shaving, as well as a multi-service application are studied to evaluate battery performance and degradation stress factors and recommendations on operating conditions are developed. Cells with less than 65% of their nominal capacity are successfully utilized in a second application but evaluating SOH by the traditional methods is found to be insufficient. By updating electrochemical parameters in a physics-based model against data from the aged cells, sources of the performance loss are identified. This approach is further advanced as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy isused for parameter estimation. Cell degradation coupled to electrolyte consumption is highlighted. An improved SOH evaluation metric is suggested to explain the phenomenon of degradation resulting in uneven current distribution. This improved understanding of the internal cell degradation and in situ methods for quantitative evaluation will contribute to smarter utilization and longer battery lifetime.

Summer vacation often sneaks up on all of us when kids are getting out of school and it is time to find creative things to do with them without busting your budget. We all know that in the summer the beach, pools, and sun all are calling our name to come outside and play. I decided to make a small list of 9 ideas that you can do that cost little to nothing.
CHEAP SUMMER VACATION IDEAS:
- Tour your own city or region – Decide to go somewhere that’s maybe just one or two hours away from home. You’ll be out of town while avoiding the price shock of highly visited vacation areas. And you’ll save money by not dealing with flights or long drives!
- Go Camping– You can go to your backyard and set up a campsite or even some national parks allow camping. There however may be a small fee or donation so research first.
- Go to a less popular beach– Everyone would love to go to the Keys or to other expensive beaches, but you end up paying more. Going to a less popular one you still get sand and water, but you come home with more money in your pocket to maybe do something else fun.
- Stay with Friends or Family– You can learn something new about your extended family, cook together, and so much more. If they have space why not stay with the ones you love? But make sure you’re a great guest. Don’t be a mooch! Pay for groceries or cook some meals to show your gratitude. Maybe even treat them to dinner or dessert while you’re in town!
- Travel during off seasons – Everyone loves taking a vacation in the summer, but that is often when prices are inflated due to everyone traveling. If you push it out just a few more months, it could save you a bundle. Peak-season and off-season vary year to year so do your research before you book.
- Travel on a weekday– Often if you travel on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday will save you more money than traveling on a Friday through Sunday.
- Visit National Parks or Museums– The greatest thing about nature is that it’s usually pretty much free to enjoy. Did you know there are over 61 national parks across the United States? Did you know that some museums are often free to visit? Find one near you and go explore!
- Book in Advance – I am not saving years in advance. Just a few months in advance will save you money. I know travel sites say last-minute deals which allows them to get rid of unsold rooms while still making some income.
- Take a Staycation – Staying home can save you so much. You can grill in your backyard, set up a pool, and even have a fire pit to roast marshmallows at night. During the day you can focus on things around the house you have been meaning to do and more!
What do you do in the summer that helps you save money without breaking your budget?
