Online sports betting has been available in the state of Illinois since June 2020; until recently, however, punters wishing to place online bets have had to register in-person at a casino.
This rule of in-person registration was permanently waived last week, opening the door for easier access to products such as Caesars Sportsbook.
Similarly, BetMGM launched its mobile sports betting app in Illinois on 7 March.
Caesars has enjoyed a strong reputation in Illinois, due to the popularity of its venues, which include the likes of Harrah's Joliet, Harrah's Metropolis, and Grand Victoria Casino Elgin. The sportsbook app, which runs the latest software, known as Liberty, will feature instantly recognisable branding and betting options for Illinois customers.
Chris Holdren, Co-President, Caesars Digital, commented: “We're pleased to launch our best mobile sports wagering product and to reach more sports fans in Illinois. This is an important step for us as we continue to expand our offering of best-in-class rewards for sports fans across the state.”
The app also integrates Caesars’ loyalty program, Caesars Rewards, into its mobile customer offering. Bettors can earn Tier Points and Rewards Credits each time they place a bet, unlocking bonus plays in the app, as well as in-person experiences at Caesars locations.
To promote the launch, Caesars has introduced a free bet insurance offer for new customers. If a new customer places a wager, up to $1,100, they will receive their money back as a free bet if it doesn’t win.
The launch in Illinois means Caesars Sportsbook is now live across 22 states in the US, including 16 through its mobile app; Caesars also operates the largest network of retail sportsbooks across the country. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Justine and Konrad were in their 20s when they first started trying to have a baby. Justine previously had been diagnosed with PCOS, so she knew it might take her longer to get pregnant. But after two years without results, she decided to ask her OBGYN for help. Justine was prescribed Clomid to stimulate ovulation. It worked, but unfortunately, she suffered an early miscarriage
“That was the turning point for us,” Justine remembers. “We decided to seek the help of a specialist. Our doctor gave us the names of three or four infertility specialists, so I decided to do some online research. All of Dr. Robert Boostanfar’s reviews were very positive, and we took that as a good sign!”
The couple found Dr. Boostanfar easy to talk to and down to earth. At their first meeting, he had already read their history and felt confident in his ability to help them get pregnant.
Konrad echoes, “Our first impression of the Encino office was so positive. Everyone was super friendly. We could sense the staff liked working there; it seemed like a warm and supportive environment. The doctor met with us right on time, which we really appreciated since it was the middle of a workday.”
Dr. Boostanfar developed a game plan. First, he wanted to make sure Justine’s tubes were normal and ordered a hysterosalpingogram. He suggested pursuing intrauterine inseminations (IUI) before attempting anything more advanced.
Justine and Konrad underwent two unsuccessful rounds of IUI. Of course, they were heartbroken. After their second cycle, Dr. Boostanfar suggested they take a mental health break and they went on vacation.
“We could tell Dr. B was just as bummed as we were that our cycles had not worked,” the couple says. “Even the nurse who called about the negative pregnancy tests was so sincere. I could tell she was hurting for us.
“After we returned from vacation, we started acupuncture as a way to prepare for our third IUI. The doctor was open to anything that would help. The cycle was successful and we are now parents to Kennedy, who was born on March 16!”
They encourage other couples to stick with the plan and to keep going through the whole process, advising “You have to cope with the losses emotionally while simultaneously not forgetting you have a life. Taking care of ourselves, like going on vacation or using acupuncture, really helped us. Having the encouraging HRC Fertility staff to support us was also reassuring. We didn’t have a lot of people to talk to about our emotional roller coaster ride, so it was a blessing to be able to confide in them.”
At 29, this LA-based couple is hoping to return to HRC Fertility Encino for another round of treatment and, hopefully, to add to their family. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Motherwell 0-0 Aberdeen: Hard fought draw takes Steelmen onto 22 points
The Dons had the better chances overall but Motherwell battled manfully as they earned a decent point after losing their previous four matches.
Aberdeen had the first chance inside three minutes when Matty Kennedy's cross was flicked on by Ryan Hedges to Motherwell old boy Curtis Main who sent an effort wide.
Hide AdThe Dons again threatened when Connor McLennan's cross found Kennedy whose effort was deflected for a corner.
Motherwell had a major let off on 13 minutes when a driven corner from the left was met by Main's head but the ball came back off the crossbar.
After a swift Aberdeen breakaway, McLennan's shot was blocked by Gallagher and the first half ended goalless.
The first chance of the second half saw Andy Considine's shot for the away team blocked following Hedges' delivery from the left.
Hide AdAttacks were rare for Motherwell in the second half but substitute Devante Cole produced a fine surge on 74 minutes and his driven cross from the right just evaded Polworth in the middle. The Dons then came close at the other end when Hayes' cross from the left was brilliantly cleared by Grimshaw's head with Kennedy primed to score.
The game was opening up now and Watt's surge down the left set up Polworth in the middle but his shot was blocked by Considine when the ball appeared to be heading into the net.
Watt produced a brilliant surge down the right wing on 86 minutes but his final shot from a tight angle was blocked by Joe Lewis.
The draw means that Motherwell move onto 22 points from 19 games ahead of the Boxing Day trip to Dundee United.
Motherwell: Archer, O'Donnell, O'Hara, Gallagher, Lamie, Grimshaw, Crawford (Maguire 84), Polworth, Campbell, Watt (White 90), Lang (Cole 68).

How We Present the News
Investment opportunity to reconstruct the world through the Global Financial Capital of New York
by Global Good News staff writer
Global Good News Translate This Article
13 April 2007
In the Global Press Conference last week on 4 April, Dr Bevan Morris, Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace, outlined the opportunities for investment in projects to alleviate suffering in the world, including reconstruction of the world for people to live and work in fortune-creating buildings.
Dr Morris said that another opportunity for investment is in the reconstruction of the world. It has been found that most of the buildings in the world have been constructed in such a way that they are quite unhealthy for the people who live and work in them, because they are not oriented properly. They are oriented at an angle to the true directions.
The entrances to these buildings are therefore often skewed, and in the ancient Vedic tradition of India it has been pointed out that such entrances are highly inauspicious. People do not know that a great deal of their misfortune and suffering comes from the buildings in which they live and work, Dr Morris said, because of these wrong designs that violate the cosmic structuring principle and the laws of nature.
The requirement is that every building in the world should be reconstructed to be on the grid, North, South, East, West, with an auspicious East or North entrance that is fortune-creating.
People will say 'Certainly this is a big investment project,' and probably this is an investment project of $300 trillion to reconstruct every building in the world. People will say, 'Oh, this is just a pipe dream, how can we possibly do that.'
'But the fact is,' Dr Morris said, 'every day people are reconstructing the world. New buildings are going up all the time everywhere. There are millions of builders building at this moment as we are speaking.'
If they had this right knowledge and if the investors would invest in this kind of architecture that is fortune-creating and health-promoting for the people who live in the building, then in good time all of the old buildings that are negative and destructive to people could be replaced by buildings that are fortune-creating.
'So this is a huge area for investment,' Dr Morris said, 'reconstruction of the housing of the world: creating developments, creating also new institutional buildings, colleges, universities, schools, hospitals, government buildings.
'This is a huge investment that is possible now that would benefit every person on earth,' said Dr Morris.

Nitrosamines in Herbal Medicinal Products?
The EMA Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPC) has prepared a new question and answer on herbal medicinal products, which has been included in the practical guidance for marketing authorization holders on the subject of contamination by nitrosamines. This now states that new marketing authorization / registration applications for herbal medicinal products (including traditional medicinal products) must include a risk assessment. Already authorized / registered (traditional) herbal medicinal products currently do not fall within the scope of the request for review, unless a marketing authorization holder suspects a risk of contamination.
1.12. What kind of data are expected in the case of (traditional) herbal medicinal products?
Since very few data are available so far, there is no evidence that herbal medicinal products are contaminated with nitrosamine impurities. Nevertheless, for new approvals/registrations of (traditional) herbal medicinal products, a risk assessment is required to prevent and mitigate the presence of nitrosamines. Applicants should critically evaluate the possible reasons for the presence of nitrosamines in the herbal substance/preparation, taking into account the available evidence in the scientific literature. The risk assessment should also cover all other aspects, in particular all reagents, excipients and packaging materials used in the manufacture and storage of the starting materials and finished herbal medicinal products. Applicants should submit the conclusions of the risk assessment with the application dossier (e.g., under 3.2.P.5.5). If a risk is identified, testing is required to confirm or refute the presence of nitrosamines. If necessary, risk mitigation measures should be proposed.
Already authorized / registered (traditional) herbal medicinal products are for the time being not in the scope of the call for review; however, if a marketing authorization holder suspects a risk of contamination, this should be investigated and if nitrosamines are detected, this should be reported to the relevant competent authorities together with a proposal for risk mitigation measures.
The updated document "CMDh practical guidance for Marketing Authorization Holders" is available on the CMDh homepage.

Dove Awards 2018
COMPLETE PRODUCTION SERVICES
PRODUCTION & STAGE MANAGEMENT
While we have been involved in the Dove Awards since 2013 in lighting design, production design, and directorial roles, 2017 was the first year that Go Live Productions was called on to produce the event. The challenge is getting the requisite number of artists on and off stage for not only the performance, but sound checks and rehearsals in an efficient manner. Along with TBN Broadcasting, we provided eight stage managers and a team of very talented audio, backline and lighting technicians to ensure evertything stayed on schedule.
Go Live provided the production design and handled all fabrication through our shop and Christian Scenic. We provided over 500' of our Edgelight product on both the stage and the overhead truss structures. Backline services were provided by us as we have since 2013. Many thanks to the teams from Christie Lites (lighting), CTS (audio and LED displays), LifeWay (additional lighting), Lipscomb University (venue and LED displays), Accurate Staging (risers and custom decks), CP Rigging (stage hands), Five Points Production Services (automation), TBN Broadcasting (broadcast partner), TNDV (video production truck) and, of course, the Gospel Music Association for inviting us to the party.

In this article, you will learn under what conditions games with gadgets will not harm children’s health and how electronic devices can be useful for children under 5.
Wait for as long as possible before introducing smartphones, computers, and tablets to children. The later children start using electronic devices, the fewer problems you'll have later. It would be perfect if you protect your child from them until the school age. But the minimum should be 2−3 years of age.
The time. If your child is two years old and he or she already knows how to use your phone, try to limit the interaction process to 15−30 minutes. Otherwise, it may cause screaming and crying. A five-year-old child can use it for no more than 45 minutes.
The time frame reflects our real life because sometimes a busy mother just doesn’t have a chance to respond promptly and distract her child with a safer activity. If your child has spent too much time with gadgets, don’t blame yourself. Play some active game with your child, for example, catch-up or hide-and-seek. To calm your angry child down, give him or her a warm drink or water, something tasty or take him or her for a walk outdoors. Experience shows that it will not fail provided that your nerves are fine and you control your temper.
As you can see there are few rules and they are easy to use.
Now let’s analyze interactive toys.
These are the main features of a good toy:
These features will ensure benefit and entertainment for your child.
Now let’s find out what games can be good for children.
There are a few types of games to develop the intellect and creativity. These are logical skills, examining items and the outside world, aesthetic perception and taste, studying languages and pronunciation.
Games with labyrinths, counting, and puzzles improve logical skills.
Games with the tasks to search and find some items help examine items and the outside world. These are usually interactive games based on popular cartoons. Choose what you think is right. There are simple games too where different animals and birds make sounds that are typical of their nature.
Games offering to decorate a room or dress a character for a holiday build creative abilities and the taste. Such options are good for children from 4−5 years of age. The drawing will be more interesting to younger children. With your help, your child can create any picture.
As you can see, electronic gadgets can be not only safe but also useful. This is the matter of the limit. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Morning Tea for survivors of sexual abuse
Welcome to Government House to mark the second anniversary of National Survivors’ Day, which takes place tomorrow, on 14 November.
Acclaimed writer Arundhati Roy, winner of the Booker Prize, once said:
“There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”
This morning we gather to acknowledge those who have made themselves heard, the survivors of sexual assault and institutional abuse, both in South Australia and around our country.
We gather to acknowledge the pain and trauma they have gone through, and may continue to experience, and to celebrate their strength and courage.
Most importantly, we gather to support survivors who were forced into silence as part of their abuse, by perpetrators and also by organisations and institutions seeking to protect themselves.
Silence is damaging not only because it protects perpetrators, but because it encourages shame in those they hurt.
To survivors, I say: I hear you, I believe you, and I stand with you.
The shame is not yours to carry.
Thank you to those of you who have spoken up, who have bravely shared your stories, who have sought or are seeking justice, and who offer support to your fellow survivors.
I respect your fortitude, which is no doubt greater than many of us will ever comprehend.
As a community it is encouraging to see, in recent years, the issues of sexual assault and institutional abuse being discussed more openly in the media and broader public discourse.
Nonetheless these are difficult conversations to have.
In some ways, it is human nature to ignore or deny the uncomfortable realities of life. To avoid feeling pain by looking away.
I thank everyone here this morning for making a different decision: for choosing to embrace our nation’s survivors, to supporting their healing and to working tirelessly towards reducing abuse rates in our communities.
As representatives from religious institutions, government, the law, and not-for-profit organisations, you all have diverse yet equally important roles to play in this sphere.
I thank you for your commitment to creating a better state and country for us all.
In particular I thank the In Good Faith Foundation and LOUDFence for creating and running National Survivors’ Day across Australia, and for the respective work they do supporting survivors and advocating on their behalf in the broader community.
I wish you all a meaningful day tomorrow, and I look forward to lending my future support as we walk a path of healing and prevention together. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Featherston pieces have been sought-after classics in Australian homes, galleries and private collections since the 1940s. One of Australia’s most well recognised and respected designers, Grant Featherston began designing furniture in 1947. Since then, alongside his wife Mary, they have designed a collection of timeless furniture that spans across 30 years.
The collection comprises of both classic pieces that are instantly recognisable, along with designs that have lain formant for decades and have now been put back into production for all design aficionados to enjoy. Meeting the continued interest in the brand, Grazia and Co alongside Mary Featherston and GMi are thrilled to be able to meet the continued interest in the brand by releasing an outstanding collection of Featherston works, curated for contemporary homes and savvy collectors.
The collection sees classics such as the Contour series and TC67 Talking Chair revitalised with new contemporary fabric selections. Models such as the B230 contour armchair and SCABF Scape Armchair have been out of production for decades are being given a new lease of life. Acknowledging their place as some of the most significant works in Australian design history and to project their originality, Featherstons designs have been registered with IP Australia.
Born in Geelong, Victoria (1922-1995), Grant Featherston’s background was in glass and lighting design, all self-taught. Returning to Melbourne, after serving in the army from 1940-1944, he produced the first of his famous plywood shell Contour chairs in 1951. Featherston Contract Interiors furniture showroom opened in 1956 and in 1957 he became a consultant to Aristoc industries for 13 years. He made his mark in furniture design with a distinct simplicity and lightness of form that was in stark relief to the heavy, overstuffed style that had prevailed. His love of nature and commitment to sustainability all drove Featherston’s quest for efficiency: to achieve the ultimate form using the least material possible.
“The themes of sustainability, efficiency of form and environmental sensibility that Grant championed are more relevant than ever. He was ahead of his time in many respects – the designs featured in this collection are testament to the endurance of both his designs and this philosophy”—Mary Featherston
Made under licence by Gordon Mather Industries (GMi), each piece is hand crafted to the original specifications and a certificate of authenticity accompanies each piece. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Dentists often recommend porcelain veneers to help dental patients achieve their smile aesthetic goals. The cap-like shells of this cosmetic dental treatment adhere to the front of teeth to construct a straighter and whiter smile.
Though this treatment offers clear cosmetic dental advantages, it can also help you boost your oral health in the long run too. Read on to discover what porcelain veneers can offer for your smile besides improvement in the appearance of your teeth.
Porcelain Veneers Benefits: Beyond Cosmetic Enhancement
Fix Minor Tooth Injuries
Though teeth are durable, accidents can occur that leave cracks or chips in your tooth. Not only does this detract from the appearance of your smile, but it could put your teeth at risk of infections and other major problems.
Severe tooth injuries will require restorative treatment from your dentist to amend. But minor cosmetic damage can be fixed with porcelain veneers.
The veneers will adhere to the front of the tooth, sealing and covering small chips and cracks. They will build a more regular shape to the tooth, boosting the way it looks while also preventing the damage from worsening.
Dentists construct porcelain veneers to be as durable as your teeth. But the fixtures could be subject to damage if exposed to abnormally high amounts of pressure.
For this reason, you should avoid biting down on hard items, especially fingernails and ice. You should also let your dentist know if you have a habit of clenching or grinding your teeth. This behavior could harm your veneers and leave your teeth vulnerable to further damage.
Cover Weakened Tooth Enamel
Your teeth are covered by an outer layer of enamel, which endures the daily wear and tear of oral functions. Over time, enamel may erode, leaving the interior of your teeth exposed. You may feel tooth sensitivity and be at a greater risk of cavities with this type of dental damage.
Porcelain veneers can cover weakened or thinned enamel on the front of your teeth. This will protect any exposed dentin and alleviate tooth sensitivity symptoms.
An added bonus of these fixtures is that the veneers will resist both decay and staining to ensure lasting protection and smile enhancement. With proper care and maintenance, veneers can remain secure over your teeth for fifteen years.
Simplify Your Oral Hygiene Routine
If your teeth overlap, have gaps, or are crooked, you might not have full access to the surface of your teeth when you brush them. An impeded oral hygiene routine may mean that plaque will linger on your teeth and hurt your smile.
Porcelain veneers will give you a straighter smile that will be easier to brush and floss effectively. The ability to keep your teeth and gums clean will stave off dental damage like cavities and periodontal disease, allowing your smile to look and feel its best.
Though your veneers will not decay, you should still brush your teeth twice each day and floss daily. They can still garner plaque that can impact the underlying teeth. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Generally, people like to take photos on different occasions. People may celebrate different types of functions such as family, office, and friends, etc. There are various family functions like marriage function, birthday party, festivals, and several other functions. In-office they may also celebrate various events such as monthly events, etc. Taking photos is the main thing that happens in those family functions, office functions, and various other functions. These days, most people are mobiles along with them. Mobiles are portable devices and hence it is easy to carry. So, people used to carry mobiles wherever they go. There are various applications available over the mobile. Capturing photos is one of such applications. People may also have an account in various social media applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. So, they used their photos as well as their family members and friends taken during family functions, tours, etc. Other people in social media may give their complements by providing likes and comments for the posts. This may make people feel more proud. People must also have some skills to take photos with clarity. And they should have some creative skills as well. People who have those skills can get photography jobs. There are different types of photography. Here, some of the photography is explained below.
- Abstract photography
Abstract photography, otherwise called calculated, concrete, or test photography, is a classification that is hard to characterize. Theoretical photos regularly use shading, light, shadow, surface, shape, or structure to permeate an inclination, sensation, or impression without really giving an authentic picture of the article or scene that is being captured.
- Adventures photography
Adventures photography is substantially clear as crystal than theoretical photography. This kind of photography captures pictures of undertakings, general in nature. It regularly includes surprising scene shots, daring explorers, and testing shooting conditions given availability to specific areas and moving climate conditions while taking photos outside.
- Commercial photography
Commercial photography is what is taken explicitly for business use, generally to promote or sell an item or services. Therefore, food photography, design photography, and item photography once in a while twofold as commercial photography.
- Family Photography
Taking photographs of a family is presented or genuine likeness is known as family photography. These kinds of shots are frequently appointed by the family for individual use to hang in the family home.
There are various other photography is available which is more interesting. Therefore, people who are interested in photography can apply for photography jobs. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Google Caught Recording Android Users’ Location Data
So just what we all were thinking about, Yes! Google admits that it was gathering Android user’s location information. The Android devices would collect the addresses of the mobile towers and send the encrypted data back to Google, and guess what? This is happening even when you turn off the location tracking function. This has been going on since January 2017.
It was Quartz that reported first that Google is recording location data, without the user knowing about it.
Late night on Tuesday Quartz reported, “Even if you take all of those precautions, phones running Android software gather data about your location and send it back to Google when they’re connected to the internet”.
In October, several Google Home Mini devices reportedly malfunctioned and recorded audio in the background in the owners’ homes, instead of only waking up when a specific trigger word was used.
It happened like this that last month (October 2017) many of the Google Home Mini devices malfunctioned, and recorded the background audio in the milieu of the owner’s house rather than waking up the user.
This is a major breach of privacy, and Google has admitted that they have been gathering location information. A Google spokesperson was quoted as saying “In January this year, we began looking into using Cell ID codes as an additional signal to further improve the speed and performance of message delivery.” Google further confirmed that they never used the information nor stored it.
Google sells location data to advertisers, so they can target Android users with contextually relevant ads. However, Google’s spokesperson told Quartz that
Google gives away the location data to advertisers, so they can target those users with relevant content and ads. Nevertheless, Google in a statement to Quartz has said that “This location-data-harvesting system was separate from that one, being focused on messaging services.”
This is very unfortunate because taking into account what Google said 7 years ago that street view mapping data was noting people’s WiFi network during as the car went past their property or street. So then there was this misconception that turning off the location feature will block Google from knowing the location details when they already had enough cell tower information.
Now, who blew the whistle, and who stands to gain from this expose is something interesting. Security researchers claim it is one of Google’s nemesis, obviously. Well, Ashkan Soltani, the former chief technologist for the Federal Trade Commission believes Oracle is behind this story. He claims that Oracle had been trying to find someone to put this story across in the past couple of months.
Oracle and Google have a long and fractious history, with the dominant thread being Oracle’s long-running suit against Google over the use of certain Oracle-owned code in Android (long story short: Google won, with courts repeatedly saying its inclusion of the code was “fair use”). The companies also compete in the cloud services market and Oracle has funded several anti-Google pressure groups.
The only connection we see is how Google and Oracle had locked horns, where the latter claims that Android is using Oracle-owned code. Google seems to have won the legal battle on the ground that inclusion of code was “fair use”. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Micheline star chef was spotted on daughter Holly's Instagram Stories, settling a long argued debated as to whether pineapple belongs on pizza – and his response might just shock you.
WATCH: Gordon settles the pineapple on pizza debate while out with daughter Holly
In the video clip, Holly, 22, zoomed in first on a delicious looking pizza which was topped with parma ham and rocket, but as she zoomed in closer she called out a controversial ingredient hidden amongst the toppings - pineapple!
She then turned the camera to her dad Gordon who looked rather mischievous.
She wrote on the clip: "Sir there is pineapple on that pizza…@gordonramsay" and opened the question out to the public.
Holly asked her 292,000 followers: "Does pineapple belong on pizza?" and the results, so far, show it is a near-even split (shockingly) with 53% voting yes and 47% voting no. Looks like Gordon isn't so controversial after all!
A throwback shot of Gordon and Holly looking closer than ever
The father-daughter pair seemed as close as ever in the short snapshot, which was filmed at Pizzeria Motto, in central London.
There outing comes weeks after Holly posted a photo on Instagram in aid of International Women's Day where Gordon was quick to show his support for the 22 year old.
In the photo, the blond beauty looked sensational perched on the edge of a swimming pool, she captioned the post: "Happy International Women’s Day. I’m so grateful to be surrounded by such hard working & inspirational women #internationalwomensday."

Dad, Gordon commented: "So proud of you @hollyramsayy" with a red love heart.
In December last year, Gordon again stood proudly with his daughter, who this time, announced she had been sober for one year on her Instagram.
As well as liking the post, Metro reported that proud dad Gordon commented on her commendable milestone. He wrote: "What an incredible young lady and words can’t explain enough how proud you make me feel love you so much Dad".

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, showcased her light-hearted side in a recent Instagram advertisement for Clevr Blends, where she humorously took on the role of an intern.
Engaging in typical office activities such as stacking boxes, preparing hot drinks, and working at a computer, Meghan's presence as a background extra added a unique charm to the ad.
The commercial concluded with a comical moment where Meghan amusingly misses a fist bump with a colleague, leading to laughter and an endearing close to the video.
Meghan's investment in Clevr Blends, a brand specializing in oat latte products, was first announced in 2020.
She has since promoted the brand, notably sending a basket of products to Oprah Winfrey, who shared them online, garnering more attention for the company.
Although Meghan has maintained a relatively low profile regarding her association with Clevr Blends, she recently shared a positive review of the brand.
"One of my favorite ways to start and end each day," Meghan commented on Instagram, alongside a photo with Hannah Mendoza, the CEO and co-founder of Clevr Blends.
Located near Meghan and Prince Harry's Montecito residence, Clevr Blends prides itself on being a mission-driven, women-led wellness brand. Meghan was drawn to the brand during its early days, reportedly trying their superfood coffee at a pop-up store in 2017.
In a statement to Fortune in 2019, Meghan expressed her enthusiasm for supporting female entrepreneurship and ethical business practices. "This investment is in support of a passionate female entrepreneur who prioritizes building community alongside her business.
“I’m proud to invest in Hannah’s commitment to sourcing ethical ingredients and creating a product that I personally love and has a holistic approach to wellness," Meghan stated.
Hannah Mendoza reflected on Meghan's involvement, emphasizing the importance of having supportive advisors. "Entrepreneurs need funding, but they also need advisers who care deeply about what they are building.
“ I'm grateful to have found both in the Duchess of Sussex. Her passion for what we're creating is palpable, and I couldn't imagine a more aligned partnership. We're excited for the road ahead," Hannah said.
Meghan's decision to invest in Clevr Blends marked her first significant business move since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, aiming for financial independence.
The brand, with its roots in a pop-up adaptogenic coffee bar, evolved into a wellness-focused company, driven by the belief in the power of plants for body and mind wellness.

Before Painting your Kitchen Cabinets – You’ve heard the expression, “A little paint can go a long way” before, haven’t you? Well, this is not false information. It’s especially important if you’ve been looking at your outdated kitchen cabinets thinking that it’s about time you updated them. Before you call a contractor and spend thousands of dollars on replacing them, you might want to consider doing a major update yourself for much less. Painting the kitchen cabinets will, if done properly, make your kitchen look like a million-dollar renovation.
The Importance of Preparation in Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing
When undertaking the process of kitchen cabinet painting, preparation is paramount. The difference between a finish that exudes craftsmanship and one that disappoints is often found in the diligence of the preparatory phase. Below is a considered exploration of why preparation is so critical:
The foundation of a long-lasting paint job is how well the paint adheres to the cabinet surfaces. Rigorous cleaning to remove oils, grime, and residue ensures that primer and paint can bond effectively, mitigating the risk of peeling or chipping.
A thorough inspection can reveal hidden issues such as water damage, mould, or structural weaknesses. Addressing these concerns early can prevent future complications, ensuring the integrity and longevity of your cabinetry.
Preparation contributes directly to the finished look. Sanding, for instance, smooths out imperfections, leads to an even paint application, and can help in maintaining the wood grain’s integrity where desired, resulting in a polished and professional appearance.
Prepping your kitchen cabinets can streamline the painting process. By applying painter’s tape to edges and labelling doors and hardware, you ensure a methodical approach that can minimize errors and rework.
While preparation can seem labour-intensive up front, it is cost-effective in the long run. Here’s why: if painting is done over an inadequately prepared surface and fails, the cost of repainting, including labour and materials, could significantly exceed the initial preparation expenses.
Health and Safety:
Preparation involves removing dust and debris, which is crucial, not merely for the sake of cleanliness but for the health of those residing in the home. Ensuring a clean, dust-free environment is fundamental, especially when considering the inhalation hazards associated with sanding and painting.
The thoroughness of preparation directly correlates to the durability of the finish. A well-prepped cabinet face is more resilient to the daily wear and tear of kitchen use, such as exposure to heat, moisture, and mechanical impact.
Now that we’ve thoroughly convinced you that this is the way to freshen up the look of your kitchen, we should share the one catch with this particular project: surface cleaning. You need to thoroughly clean the interior surface of your kitchen cabinets prior to starting this project.
How to prepare your Kitchen Cabinets for Painting
You may not be able to see it, but your cabinets’ interior surfaces may have a lot of grease and grime buildup from all the cooking that’s been done in the kitchen. The best way to clean kitchen cabinets is by using tri-sodium phosphate. This will help to remove the grease much more efficiently than just soap and water. This preparation is particularly important because you absolutely need to rid all surfaces of food residue and anything else that could be stuck to the cabinets. Removing the kitchen cabinet doors may make them easier to wash than if you left them on to clean them.
Sanding is another very crucial step before you begin painting the kitchen cabinets. In addition to cleaning the cabinets thoroughly, sanding will remove extra tough grit and smooth them down nicely. Our recommendation is to clean them thoroughly first and then sand them. If you don’t want to undertake this second step, be sure to do the first one. If the cabinets are not properly cleaned prior to painting, then the paint will have trouble adhering to the surfaces. This could lead to the paint bubbling, cracking, or peeling. If you want your cabinets to look as good as new after a fresh paint job, then clean them well!
Now that you understand the importance of cleaning before painting the kitchen cabinets, you’re guaranteed to do a great job that will last a long time. If the prep work and cleaning seem easy enough, but the painting is more of a daunting task, consider kitchen cabinet painters. Give HPT a call!

Study Targets Treating Comorbid Substance Use Disorder and PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder interacts directly with substance use disorders (SUDs) to worsen SUD symptoms and make recovery less likely. VA runs the largest substance use disorder treatment program in the world, and the high prevalence of PTSD and substance use disorders in returning OEF/OIF Veterans has made developing effective treatment options for these comorbidities a priority. This randomized controlled effectiveness trial sought to determine whether male Veterans with an SUD and co-occurring PTSD symptoms in a VA outpatient SUD clinic would benefit from a specialized treatment program for these comorbid disorders. Investigators randomly assigned Veterans to receive treatment as usual (TAU, n=49) or Seeking Safety (SS, n=49) treatment. Seeking Safety is a manualized integrated treatment for PTSD and SUD that focuses on safe coping skills addressed through cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and case management domains. Primary outcome measures were drug and alcohol use severity, as well as PTSD symptom severity. All outcomes were measured at baseline, three months (end of treatment), and six months (3 months post-treatment).
Findings show that Seeking Safety, the manualized treatment approach for substance use disorder, was well received and associated with better drug use outcomes than TAU in male Veterans with PTSD. Compared to TAU, Seeking Safety also was associated with increased treatment attendance, client satisfaction, and active coping through treatment. Although these factors may be beneficial for promoting recovery more broadly, neither they – nor reduction in PTSD severity that occurred during treatment – accounted for reductions in drug use among Veterans during the study.
The authors suggest that Seeking Safety simultaneously addresses PTSD early within SUD treatment and uses techniques familiar to the majority of addiction treatment professionals, which may facilitate clinical implementation.

Pedestrian accidents should always be taken seriously. They can be scary events that leave the individuals involved feeling scared and filled with questions. Pedestrian accidents can result in people suffering severe injuries and, in some serious cases, even wrongful death. If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident in California, you should engage a Downey pedestrian accident lawyer. The legal team at Heimanson & Wolf, LLP, can analyze your case and give you the necessary legal advice to pursue compensation.
There are a few key items to be aware of if you have been involved in an accident.
If you decide to file an accident claim and pursue legal action against the responsible party in Downey, you may be able to recover the following:
If you hit someone without insurance in California, you will likely still be held accountable for any damages or injuries related to the accident. California state law requires all drivers to always maintain proper insurance and liability coverage. If you are in an auto collision with an uninsured party, your uninsured insurance coverage may cover the damages.
As California is an at-fault state, the at-fault party generally is required to pay for the damages. Speak with a personal injury attorney to review your options.
If you hit someone with your car in California, it could lead to serious legal and financial consequences. If you hit someone in California, you should immediately check to see the damages. You should make sure that the person is okay, and you should assist them if they need immediate medical attention. Following the accident, you should call an accident attorney who is experienced in car accidents. It’s important that you do not take fault until you speak with a lawyer.
A lawyer’s settlement amount will vary depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s fee structure. The case can become more complex if there are multiple parties involved in the accident. Multiple parties generally mean more insurance companies, and it can be more difficult to determine who is at fault.
Accident attorneys usually charge a contingency fee. The contingency fee can generally range between 30% and 40% of the total settlement amount, but the fee is only paid if the case is successful.
If you hit a jaywalker in Downey, California, fault will be determined on a case-by-case basis. As California is a comparative negligence state, that means that multiple parties could be assigned a percentage of fault for the collision. Jaywalking is illegal in California, so the jaywalker could be considered to be negligent.
The driver who hit the jaywalker could also be considered negligent. It is not uncommon for a judge to assign fault to multiple parties based on the percentage of fault that they contributed to the accident.
Yes, there are circumstances in which a pedestrian can be held accountable for injuries and damages related to an accident. For example, if there is a motorcycle accident with a pedestrian, and it is discovered that the pedestrian was walking in the street into oncoming traffic, that pedestrian may be held liable for causing the accident.
It is generally a good idea to consult with an accident attorney who is experienced in pedestrian accidents. You should never assume fault before speaking with an attorney.
Pedestrian accidents can be complicated events. At times, it can be difficult to determine fault, especially if there are multiple parties involved in the accident. The situation can become even more complicated with the addition of multiple insurance companies. If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, you should consider speaking with an accident attorney as soon as possible. An experienced accident attorney could be just the help you need to resolve your case.
At Heimanson & Wolf, LLP, our legal team works tirelessly to support our clients. We have helped individuals across the whole state of California with resolving their legal cases. A pedestrian accident case can be difficult to navigate through the state courts of California. With the help of our law firm, you can rest assured that your case can get the attention and dedication that is required to resolve it.

Woman Gets Pregnant While Already Pregnant, Gives Birth To Siblings
By Dave Basner
February 28, 2022
Many people believe that women can't get conceive while already pregnant, and for the most part that's true, but it turns out that it is not always the case. In fact, one California mom, pregnant with a little girl, recently wound up getting pregnant with another baby.
Her name is Odalis and she told The Daily Mail that a few months after tragically suffering a miscarriage, she and her husband Antonio found out that she was pregnant again. Then, when she went to the doctor for her first scan, she got even more exciting news - that she was going to have two babies... but they weren't twins.
Odalis detailed the story, explaining how she had to go in for the scan without Antonio, due to COVID restrictions. Because of her earlier miscarriage, she was incredibly nervous they would find something wrong. The 25-year-old said:
"The doctor comes in and I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for anything and when she found the first baby and the heartbeat I was crying with so much happiness. And then she started going back and forth and I was wondering why - my mind just went to the worst-case scenario because of the traumatic experience that we had. That's when she told me that she had found another baby that also had a heartbeat. I was just crying with happiness. I felt like the first baby that we had lost was in the room with me and saying it was going to be ok."
That's when they let her know the craziest part - the babies were actually conceived five days apart. It's a phenomenon that only occurs in 0.3% of pregnancies and is so rare that some health professionals don't even believe it truly happens.
It was a scary pregnancy for Odalis. She said, "It was pretty terrifying throughout my whole pregnancy not knowing if that was going to be the outcome again. Hoping for the best but knowing there's always a possibility that things might not go as planned."
Her official due date was set by splitting the difference of the due dates of each of the babies, and on August 10, both children arrived safely. It was two little girls, Lilio, who weighed 6lb, 12oz, and Imelda, who weighed 7lb, 3oz. Odalis stated, "I feel like it's some sort of miracle that I experienced this double pregnancy. Because of our first experience, it made everything during this pregnancy feel so much more special and magical. Just how easy I was able to conceive, and knowing that I had two babies, I just felt like there was so much light after such a dark place. It was the best surprise ever."
As for her babies, even though they aren't twins, she admitted that they look so alike she and Antonio occasionally mix them up, revealing, "Antonio will have a baby for an hour and be like 'Oh Lilo' this and that and I'm like, 'You have Imelda,' and he will be like, 'What?' and I'm just there laughing because he was like, 'Oh my God for a whole hour I thought I had Lilo.'" | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Alternate Approval process is in effect for the Recreation and Activity Centre. It proposes a Bylaw to borrow $241 Million mainly for the redevelopment of the Parkinson Recreation Centre and to a much lesser amount, the construction of the Glenmore Activity Centre, Mission Activity Centre and Rutland Sports fields.
As a neighbourhood association, we found it important to ask questions about what we can expect in the Pandosy area.
The city's justification for the expense is largely based on a Postcard-coded survey. This survey asked, "How far are you willing to travel (one way) by car or bus to use indoor recreation facilities before travel becomes a barrier to participating". The results showed that 74% of the public are willing to travel up to 20 minutes.
Results show confirmation bias since they were not differentiated by postal code or area of town the response came from. Also, the distance travelled in 20 minutes by car is not the same as the time and transfers for a bus. (Google estimates the same distance takes almost 3 times as long by bus compared to a car.) Above all, no question was asked as to the amount of time respondents would be willing to walk or cycle to a facility and whether it would be preferred.
Considering Pandosy is one of 5 urban centers' and by definition specific to Urban Centres in Chapter 4 of the 2040 Official Community Plan, they are intended to be a "walkable urban place" and provide a "high quality of life to residents and workers". Of all the urban centres, Pandosy is specifically mentioned as lacking community facilities. At the same time, parking requirements in residential buildings are being reduced and public transit is not improved. All this means the Pandosy residents will have difficulty accessing appropriate community facilities for many years to come.
Even though we feel Pandosy is densifying and growing rapidly, future growth is projected to be just over 1000 units, far behind 2000 expected in Rutland and 1800 in Glenmore. We question this number considering the large developments of Aqua, Movala and the Ledge.
We have asked and been given some hope of future recreation facilities being available in Okanagan College although the priority would of course be for their students. We have also been given hope of a small community meeting space being included in the Paddle Centre which is yet to be funded and built.
City planning considers the Pandosy area to be better served for recreation facilities than many other neighbourhoods in the City, located as it is midway between Mission and Parkinson Recreation Parks. There is the offer that if funding is approved, the city will reach out to our Neighbourhood Association for input on the type of amenities and programming to be included in the Mission Activity Centre.
There is nothing specifically allocated for Pandosy in the 241 million. Further, there is nothing concrete planned.
We need to know the full vision for amenities for Pandosy and how they will be funded in our fast-growing urban Center before we can be expected to support a facility that costs hundreds millions of dollars outside of our community
According to the roadmap for urban centers in the 2040 OCP, they are intended to be "walkable urban places" and provide a "high quality of life to residents and workers". It explicitly states that South Pandosy's Challenges are: Lack of Community Facilities. It says that mature urban centers include multiple high-quality gathering places, a rich array of services and amenities and a balanced transportation system that prioritizes pedestrian, transit and active transportation modes. Hence moving away from car-centric land use. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Head lice are an unwanted, tiny insects the size of sesame seeds. Young lice, or nymphs, are transparent. Some species feed on skin and other debris found on the skin. Other species feed on blood and sebaceous secretions and are easier to see.
Lice do not fly or jump but can move extremely quickly. They are usually passed between the sharing of hats, brushes, combs or pillows. Close contact while playing can also spread lice from one child to another.
Symptoms are usually itching of the scalp. It is difficult to detect live lice on the scalp. Usually the nits, or lice eggs are the only visible evidence of a lice infestation.
We do not recommend over the counter pediculicide treatment for head lice. We offer a program that provides a prescription for treatment of head lice. We provide the prescription here at the health department that is taken and filled by the client at the pharmacy of their choice. If there are any fees at the pharmacy, the client is responsible for those fees. For further information please contact us.
Lice can be prevented by washing all potentially exposed clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water, and dry them on the hot setting in the dryer.
Continue to inspect your child’s hair closely for the next several weeks, and then periodically thereafter. Routine screening and early detection are the best prevention. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The school was founded by the church in 1982 and was taken over by the government in 2003.
Benon Natwijuka the headteacher says the state of the school is so worrying that some of the parents have decided to keep their children at home because of the poor classroom structures.
He says before the lockdown, the school had an enrollment of more than 400 pupils, however, he says the numbers could reduce. According to Natwijuka, the parents fear because they think the lives of their children are at risk.
Alex Katwaza the chairman school management committee says since 2003 when the school was taken up by the government, no new structure has been constructed.
Samuel Rutimbirayo, an old boy of the school says the current structures were constructed by parents and pupils after one of their temporary structures was blown by the wind in 2003.
He says the money was raised through the Parents Teachers Association(PTA) and each parent was paying 40,000 shillings each for the construction of a temporary structure.
Nelson Karuhanga the district councilor of Kasana Sub County says the district council is aware of the challenges faced by the school and is working to ensure that the government constructs permanent structures.
Jemima Buhanda the Chairperson LCV says it is not only Kyeihara Integrated Primary School that is in a sorry state but rather the district has changed its plan to have all schools in dilapidated state worked on.
The school currently has only two permanent structures that are occupied by primary seven, six, and five whereas the temporary buildings are used by the lower classes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Introduction: Bulletin Board Makeover
Covering a bulletin board with fabric is a really easy way to customize an otherwise boring, utilitarian thing on your wall. I used to do this all the time with my mom -- we would always make them as birthday gifts for my friends. It's a very easy craft project and it would make a great indoor/rainy day/quarantined/bored-due-to-the-pandemic craft. Let's get started!
Step 1: Supplies and Tools
- Bulletin board (23" x 17")
- A rectangular piece of felt (~27" x ~22")
- Another piece of felt (~19" x ~13")
- A rectangular piece of fabric (~27" x ~22")
- Spool of ribbon (~6 yards)
- Hot glue sticks
- Hot glue gun
- Sewing pins
Step 2: Wrap It in Felt
I had some leftover felt from my Cerberus dog costume project, but you could also use thin quilt batting or anything like that to give the board a little more poof/oomph.
Cut the felt to be a few inches longer than the bulletin board on each side. So if you are covering a 23" x 17" bulletin board like mine, your rectangular piece of felt should be about ~27" x ~22". But you don't have to measure it. You can just eyeball it.
Place the bulletin board face-down on the rectangular piece of felt and hot glue the felt to the back of the board. I tried to fold and hot glue the corners as neat as I could. You don't want it to be all lumpy.
Step 3: Cover It in Fabric
Then do the same thing with a ~27" x ~22" rectangular piece of fabric. I used this cat fabric that I love, that you may recognize from when I made my tablet holder pillow. Just hot glue it down to the back. It doesn't have to be perfect, but again, try to make the corners neat so it's not all lumpy.
Step 4: Ribbon Time
Cut long strips of your ribbon and start placing them on top of the board where you want them. It's best to have them in perpendicular criss-cross lines. I started with two, each one going from corner to corner and crossing in the very center. I held them there with a thumbtack (that we'll reinforce in a second) where the ribbons cross each other and some sewing pins along the edges of the board.
Then I laid four more, one across each corner. Follow the drawing and the pictures and that should give you a better idea.
Once you have all the ribbons pinned and tacked down, you can lift one thumbtack, put a little bead of hot glue there, and then put the thumbtack back. These thumbtacks won't be able to be moved, of course, but this reinforces the ribbons so they don't move around.
When you're done with that, you can hot glue the excess ribbons around the back of the board. Don't forget to remove your sewing pins!
Step 5: Add Some Hangers
As for how you're going to hang it up, an easy way is to do that is to recycle a couple of soda can tabs. Bend them at the middle at a slight angle before hot gluing them to the top corners of the back of the board. Cover the bottom half with some excess ribbon so it's a little more secure.
And this next step is unnecessary, but I had a lot of extra felt and figured I would cover the ugliness on the back of the board. All I did was cut a rectangle of felt slightly smaller than the board (so about ~19" x ~13") and hot glue it to the back. This just covered the raw ends of the fabric and the ribbons that wrapped around the edges.
Step 6: Hang It Up
Now all that's left to do is hang it up on the wall and tuck in your pictures and postcards and other paper mementos. It's such a quick project but it really makes a huge difference. I love finding ways to add my personal touches on practical items around my house and this is an easy way to do that. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Haulotte Iberica and Mainsa Plataformas in refurbishment programme
Mainsa Plataformas, a leading Spanish rental company based in Heras, Cantabria, works with Haulotte Iberica to give a second life to its equipment. The refurbishment has started with three machines and will continue in the coming months with more Haulotte models.
The Haulotte Spanish subsidiary started their second life project in May with a H12 SD scissor lift. Another H12 SX scissor and one H23 TPX telescopic boom have already been restored to their full capacity.
The main modifications concern the restoration of some core mechanical parts, such as rings, axes, telescopic boom chains and pads. Luis Perez Santos, service manager at Haulotte Iberica said, “Our refurbishment solutions increase the machines’ lifespan significantly. They enhance the equipment’s safety and improve their residual value,”
To erase the signs of time, the Haulotte teams changed all the visible parts, including the labels, control box switches and painted the machines. “They now look like new ones,” Perez Santos said enthusiastically.
The subsidiary will soon bring new models into its fully equipped workshop located in Madrid to continue the refurbishment programme.
Ivan Morodo, general manager of Haulotte Iberica said, “We thank Mainsa for the trust they are placing in the Haulotte second life programme.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
LEEA Academy Awards recognise global achievement

The annual Academy Awards scheme acknowledges students who have achieved the highest of standards in learning and development, and is an important contributor to LEEA’s drive towards sustainability of the sector. Members of the Association’s Learning and Development committee presided over the categories to determine which students have excelled on their courses during the LEEA academic year to September 2020 to win the celebrated awards.
The Gordon Loveridge Memorial Prize for the highest score in the Foundation Certificate Assessment went to Gavin West of Sprint Lifting Equipment Ltd; Danny Woodfield of Konecranes Demag UK Ltd; and Chris French of Bunzl Brand Operations.
The Cyril McCaully Memorial Prize for the best paper in each of the advanced programme subjects was presented to Omar Alaa-ElDien Bahbah of Delta Inspection and Petroleum Services (DIPS) as the winner for Lifting Equipment General; Robert Clarke of OES Oilfield Services as the winner for Lifting Machines Manual; Gordon James Pilling of SNC-Lavalin Industrial Atlantic Inc for Lifting Machines Power; Christopher Killen of Walter Watson for Runways and Crane Structures; Sajo Thundiyathu Jose of ABS Group Inc for Overhead Travelling Cranes; and Shafik Mohamed Shafik Mostafa of Tetralift SAE for Offshore Container Examination.

Ross Moloney, CEO of LEEA said, “With winners coming from Australia, Egypt, Canada and the UK, the LEEA Academy Awards really showcased the international nature of our learning. These courses are ideal for our global industry and are accessible even during the pandemic – perhaps more so than ever before – and in non-English languages. I would like to congratulate all this year’s successful recipients and thank the LEEA team for organising the 2020 Academy Awards. We are looking at exciting developments for 2021.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Total intelligence is increased when technological advancements are combined with the human brain. One person who evaluates these very advancements, and agrees with the above statement is Clive Thompson. In his article “Smarter Than You Think: How Technology Is Changing Our Minds for the Better” he explains just how much technology in the world today has an impact on our brains. Clive Thompson’s article and his use of research reports are thought-provoking and effective.
Within his article, Thompson uses strong reasoning and logic, as well as good examples to support his argument. Thompson states “Which is smarter at chess-- humans or computer? Neither. It’s the two together, working side by side” (347). In this example, Thompson is explaining that when playing a game of chess, combining technology with the human mind is more beneficial in comparison to just computers or just humans. Thompson’s example is strong and effective because the study that he used in his article is reliable. He explained a study that was done to prove that it was more effective when combined, instead of assuming it was. It is also evident that even though Thompson did not provide statistics for the how much more effective it is to use both technology and human brains, it

Japan wins the battle against floppy disks or the end of an era of obsolete technology
Two years ago, Japan’s Minister for Digitization, Taru Kono, launched a fight against a technology that most people consider obsolete – computer floppy disks. Until recently, these were used for hundreds of administrative tasks in Japan. The Japanese government has now announced that it has won this “war”.
The curious thing about this situation is that the fight against floppy disks took place many years after their greatest glory. In Western countries, floppy disks are a long-forgotten technology. In June, Japan’s Digital Agency announced that it had repealed all but one of the 1,034 regulations relating to the use of floppy disks, except for one environmental regulation relating to vehicle recycling.
“We won the war on floppy disks on June 28!” Kono told Reuters. He then laconically added on social network X (formerly Twitter): “Everyone loves floppy disks.”
Kono is also known for his fight against fax machines and other outdated technology in government. He is a key figure in the whole digital reform. The digital agency was set up during the 2021 covid-19 pandemic, when it became clear that the government was still relying on paper documentation and outdated technology to implement nationwide testing and vaccinations. This lack of efficiency led to the need for rapid digitization of government processes.
In Japan, Kono is considered a charismatic politician, with 2.5 million followers on the X network. He previously headed the defence and foreign ministries and became minister for digital technology in August 2022 after a failed bid to become prime minister. His efforts to modernise government procedures have won widespread public support.
Floppy disks, developed in the 1960s, have been a key feature of the computer world for several decades. Sony, one of the main manufacturers of floppy disks, discontinued their production in 2011. For many young people today, floppy disks are more of a historical artefact than a practical tool – they often don’t even know how to use them or what they look like.

Join us at Stand E8, Hall 12 during Utility Week Live 2024 at NEC Birmingham to witness how Re-flow Field Management will revolutionise work efficiency and propel companies towards achieving Net Zero goals – all within scalable, easy-to-use project management software and its accompanying phone app.
A huge number of our partners openly praise how Re-flow is already propelling them along on their Net Zero journey.
‘The opportunity to create a bespoke management platform for our specific business needs has enabled much greater efficiencies as we work towards achieving our sustainability and environmental goals.’
Alex Colesby Compliance Manager at R&C Williams
Re-flow is built around the needs of our clients. We listen and innovate together. This kind of collaboration is the only way for us to create a world-class piece of field management software – and to reach our sustainability goals together.
From working closely with clients, we’ve focussed in on a number of key areas where efficiencies can not only drive profits, but also get a grip on Net Zero: data, visibility, and complete project oversight is key.
Embed: <iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/ekooRdCv0ko?si=efHTeELbahqVgQT0″ title=”YouTube video player” frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share” referrerpolicy=”strict-origin-when-cross-origin” allowfullscreen></iframe>
Our team will discuss how companies use Re-flow to:
- Drive essential efficiencies by streamlining workflows, stopping wasted trips, and monitoring available resources.
- Analyse where improvements can be made via granular data analysis of equipment, plant, vehicles, operatives, and more.
- Use AI to discover insights.
- Minimise travel time and cut down on fuel usage.
- Avoid breakages, thereby offsetting the carbon that may have been emitted by faulty equipment or having to ship a replacement.
- Ensure that your equipment is in the best shape possible, improving your fuel economy.
- Log and track Key Performance Indicators through the dashboard, so managers can carefully monitor Net Zero targets and trajectories to see if enough is being done to work towards long-term goals.
- Build forms to calculate carbon emissions, and create reports to inform future decisions.
Many Small Savings Make a Huge Financial and Environmental Difference: Real-World Examples
- R&C Williams used Re-flow’s digital forms to end the need for operatives to drive in to drop off and sign paperwork. Halving commute times halved those emissions – on top of an 80% reduction in the use of paper.
- BV Communications have streamlined the creation of job packs and made them completely digital – complete with a vast knowledge base, so operatives have all the information they need accessible through their phones.
- Gregory’s Water Services use Re-flow’s asset management system to track the status, locations, and condition of all their plant, equipment, and operatives. The multitude of efficiencies and data oversight has improved their carbon output. Reduced waste, better decisions, more profit, and more in line with Net Zero.
There’s so much to talk about, but the bottom line is this: with Re-flow companies perform in a way that is better for the planet – and better for everyone in the business too. Save time, transform practices, and create a healthier, future-looking workplace ready for prosperity and ecologically-sound growth.

Social Community Focused On Privacy And Genuine Connection Through Anonymity
Creating a supportive social community focused on privacy and genuine connection through anonymity involves building a space where individuals feel safe to share, connect, and find support without the pressure of identity. In a world dominated by oversharing and public personas, such a community would provide a refreshing alternative. Anonymity allows people to speak freely, explore their thoughts, and seek help without the fear of judgment or consequences tied to their personal lives. This approach can be especially beneficial for individuals who might be dealing with sensitive issues, such as mental health struggles, personal insecurities, or complex relationships. By protecting the identity of its members, the community fosters a sense of comfort and freedom that can encourage honest, heartfelt discussions. Users would no longer have to feel compelled to curate their personalities or experiences to meet societal expectations, leading to deeper, more meaningful conversations. To ensure privacy, it is essential that the platform uses encryption and does not require personal information beyond the basics needed for secure access. Ideally, such a community would prioritize data security and have strict protocols to prevent any data breaches.
Minimal data collection—only what is necessary for account creation and maintenance—can help alleviate concerns that many users have about their personal information being misused. Additionally, integrating privacy-focused technology like end-to-end encryption for direct messages and anonymized user IDs instead of names or profile pictures would further enhance privacy. These privacy features allow people to openly discuss challenges or seek guidance without exposing their identities, creating a haven for those who may feel isolated in their daily lives. Another vital element in such a community would be a strong code of conduct enforced by moderators to ensure a respectful and supportive environment. Anonymity, while empowering, can sometimes lead to misuse. Therefore, clear rules on behavior, coupled with active moderation, help maintain a space free from harassment, bullying, or toxic negativity. Looking for ideas on what to do when you’re bored? Join an anonymous social network and explore exciting discussions with total privacy. Moderators, ideally trained in mental health and community management, can provide additional support and resources for members, directing them to helpful content or professional assistance if needed.
Peer-support groups focused on specific issues—such as anxiety, grief, or self-esteem—could also be facilitated, allowing members to find connection with others facing similar challenges. The presence of group moderators ensures that the community remains focused on empathy and support rather than judgment or criticism. Finally, a supportive community based on anonymity would encourage genuine human connection by focusing on commonalities and shared experiences rather than external labels. Members connect through shared narratives, fostering a sense of unity. The absence of real-world identifiers lets users communicate on an equal footing, promoting interactions that are about substance rather than appearance or social status. By stripping away superficial differences, the community can help individuals feel less alone in their struggles and more connected to others in meaningful ways. For those who crave a sense of belonging but are hesitant to engage openly, an anonymous, privacy-first community provides an ideal solution: a secure, judgment-free platform for sharing, healing, and personal growth.

Too bad the ol’ cowpoke had never heard of my best friend, Mr. O-soto-gari.
Sir, I never had the hips to pull off a hip throw, having blown my back out at 20, but I have been hip thrown and supplexed and am here to say that that shit works. The judo throw depicted is very similar to the bareknuckle "cross-buttocks" throw used in the London Prize Ring, keeping in mind that there was no jacket or shirt to grab.
I must say, that this racist attack on the Frito Bandito mystery meat Reparations Recovery Agent would not be tolerated by Baltimore City or Baltimore County law enforcement and all of these three goons who attacked this innocent agent of the entitlement matrix would face prosecution on my home turf. It's like they practiced this. The one rat went right for our hero's fallen wand of god powers!
And before that, note that the cowboy is in violation of the Chuck Norris Rule for outweighing the gunman and attacking from behind and also not giving him a chance to fire before going into action.
And, did you see that white devil take off his white sanitation mask and strangle our hero with it after he had already been disarmed and was now the victim! It makes you wonder what else these devils use those sanitation masks for!
Shep, I am so glad you sent this to me while I was filling in for my vacationing employer.

FORCING INTROSPECTION FOR INSIGHT
“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” ― Carl Jung, Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology
I just got over a rough bout with a stomach virus. The first two days were spent in utter desperation, doing what one does when extremely ill, trying to hold down some liquids so as not to become dehydrated and pondering some not so useful thoughts about life. In other words, I was in survival mode.
Then, on the third day, I begin to think more clearly and became aware of what I was thinking about. My thoughts still drifted to mortality but, with some reluctance, I begin to think about where I was in life and where I wanted to be. I thought about the precious moments I enjoy with my wife, my relentless drive to create and TIME. I thought about how much of my behavior might be driven by old insecurities and how much is driven by passion. Am I having enough fun? Am I making a difference?
I reflected about the years of peak-performance coaching I have done and the hundreds of business presentations on breakthrough-thinking and creativity. I realized that the greatest obstacle I’ve had to deal with is – that most people do not like to turn inwards, to reflect on their beliefs and to question their assumptions. That’s challenging, especially when I speak on thinking about thinking.
I’ve discovered that it is often easy for others to, without awareness, spend a lot of their thinking time judging others or blaming circumstances for what they have helped create in their lives. Don’t get me wrong. I am not judging this to be life-defeating or evil. This avoidance of introspection is a function of the primitive, defensive, fight or flight part of our brain – the old part. That part, unfortunately or fortunately, influences most of our decisions. But, it is also the part of our brain that can be mined for insightful information if – one is willing to ask the right questions.
Overcoming this natural resistance to self-introspection takes both courage and work. The good news is that the newest, ever-evolving, malleable part of our brain, called the Neocotex, has the right stuff. We can ask ourselves questions. And, great questions equal great answers, equal great insight. Think about it. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A clinical trial was unable to prove the efficacy of the antiparasitic medicine ivermectin against coronavirus variants, according to Japanese drugmaker Kowa Co., which has indicated that it will no longer seek approval for the drug as a COVID-19 treatment.
The Nagoya-based pharmaceutical and trading company announced the results of a randomized, double-blind, international clinical trial on Sept. 26. In the trial, 1,030 patients with mild COVID-19 were orally administered the drug daily for three days and then compared to others given a placebo.
Ivermectin was found to be safe and few people given the drug developed severe symptoms, Kowa said. But both the group given the drug and the one administered a placebo saw improvements in symptoms, meaning the trial did not show the drug’s efficacy over the placebo as a COVID-19 treatment.
“In order to better understand the drug’s potential, Kowa will continue analyzing the data in detail and from a variety of perspectives," the firm said in a press release.
Ivermectin is an antibiotic medication used in the treatment of parasitic diseases, such as lymphatic filariasis, strongyloidiasis and psoriasis. It was discovered by biochemist Satoshi Omura, professor emeritus of Kitasato University, for which he won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 2015.
While a large-scale study conducted in Brazil concluded in March that treatment with the drug's did not prevent hospitalization for patients with COVID-19 symptoms, social media remains abuzz with claims of ivermectin’s ability to cure those infected with coronavirus strains. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has even weighed in to say that people should not use the drug to treat or prevent the disease in either humans or animals. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Hello there! Spring has sprung in Northern Colorado, which means the weather swings wildly between winter and summer and every day seems to be windy. I'm starting to think about my garden, but conventional wisdom advises against planting before the second Sunday in May (Mother's Day), as we might still have freezing temperatures and/or a foot of snow.
My Chinese Lantern sprouts are holding their own...kind of. It's too cold to put them outside, and although my kitchen is pretty sunny, it's not quite the same. So they're looking a little wimpy:
In the mean time, I came across an online plant supplier that actually sells Chinese Lanterns. So I ordered one. You know, as a Plan B of sorts. And here it is: | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Despite a little rain, we embraced the first summer night with full volume at our COPE project, blending it harmoniously with Fête de la Musique!
Last Friday marked our debut hosting Fête de la Musique at KulturCentrale. We were thrilled to feature not one, but two incredible acts: the choir Singt Pauli and the band Canelazo.
Originating in France in the 1980s, Fête de la Musique has been a cultural mainstay every June 21st. In Dresden, Institut Français has coordinated this celebration for 21 years, making it a pivotal event in our city’s musical calendar.
This festival perfectly aligned with our European project COPE, which focuses on enhancing emotional well-being through innovative approaches like music therapy and peer support. COPE aims to empower young people to cope with anxiety and stress through creative and supportive means.

Giovanni Battista Piranesi
Giovanni Battista Piranesi
Mogliano Veneto 1720 – Rome 1778
With printed inscription on paper IN ROMA MDCCLIII. / [L]ASTAMPERIA DI ANGELO ROTILJ / NEL PALAZZO DE’ MASSIMI. / CON LICENZA DE’ SUPERIORI.
Pen and brown ink, brown wash
248 x 178 mm (9 3/4 x 7 in.)
The author of the Carceri (Imaginary Prisons,1743-1746), of theAntichita romane (Roman Antiquities,1756), famous for his compositions of fantastic and colossal architectures has also abundantly drawn figure studies, mostly in pen and brown ink, sometimes with red chalk. He uses them to people his architectural capricci. Gesticulating, leading lively conversations, preaching, his figures are always engaged in all sorts of activities which look insignificant in comparison with the gigantism of the surrounding buildings.Piranesi knows how to animate them in just a few jerky strokes and a few pen accents.By skilfully exaggerating positions and carefully deforming anatomies, he is able to give them inordinately forceful expressiveness.
Professor Andrew Robison confirmed the authenticity of this drawing which he dates around the 1770’s on the basis of stylistic comparisons. He also remarked that the figure depicted it was drawn after the right-hand figure in Entellus and Dares, an engraving by Marco Dente. This engraving was probably executed after a drawing by Giulio Romano, which itself was executed after a antique low-relief nowadays in Museum Gregoriano Profano (inv. 9503). The subject is drawn from Virgil’s Aeneid and relates the fight between the young and arrogant Trojan Dares, and the older Sicilian Entellus (Livre V, 362-484). Entellus, the more sensible of the two, ends up winning. As most of Piranesi’s drawings, for instance those in the Pierpont Morgan Library, the present drawing is executed on etching paper. In fact on the verso can be seen part of plate VIII from Piranesi’sParere su l’Architetture. This work was published for the first time in 1765, yet Andrew Robinson claims that plate VIII was added only in 1769, which correlates the dating of our drawing.
A prolific artist, who produced swift and fruitful drawings, Piranesi never ceased to renew his inspiration by studying older forms and motifs in depth. He successfully modernised these forms, emancipated them from their context and instilled them with fresh energy. This approach characterised his method both for drawing and architecture.

The fairy tale-inspired horror film Cinderella’s Revenge just reached theatres a few days ago and another Cinderella horror film called Cinderella’s Curse is right around the corner. (That one was originally aiming for an October 2023 release, but shifted to 2024.) Now we can add a third project to the list of movies that put a horror twist on the classic fairy tale: director Emilie Blichfeldt’s feature debut The Ugly Stepsister.
Variety reports that Memento International will be presenting this horror comedy to potential distributors at the upcoming Cannes Film Market. The film is said to be a gory, daring, and unexpected take on the world-famous tale, seen through the eyes of the Cinderella’s stepsister, Elvira. The story follows Elvira as she battles to compete with her insanely beautiful stepsister in a kingdom where beauty is a brutal business. She will go to any lengths to catch the prince’s eye.
Blichfeldt told Variety that she “immediately identified (with Elvira) after rediscovering the Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella in which the stepsister cuts off her toes to make the shoe fit. With this ‘beauty horror’ I want to seduce the audience into a ‘girl-dreaming-of-marrying-the-prince-fairytale’, before revealing its true and raw insides. It’s time the ugly stepsister’s story is lifted from the shadows of Cinderella, and cultivated as the iconic feminist narrative of the tyranny of beauty that it is.“
Newcomer Lea Myren makes her feature acting debut as Elvira, sharing the screen with Thea Sofie Loch Naess (The Last Kingdom) and Ane Dahl Torp (The Wave).
A statement provided by Memento International says Blichfeldt’s “unique take on the classic we all know is equally funny, bold, shocking and destined to be cult for a generation. It is highly contemporary in its exploration of what one is willing to do to meet society’s imposed beauty standards on women.

- Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an inherited disorder, not an infectious one. It is a clinical diagnosis that can be confirmed by a gene mutation in the majority of cases.
- FMF is diagnosed in children with episodic fevers, often with pain in the abdomen, joints or chest. The fever of FMF is not contagious.
- Life-long treatment for inflammation can prevent long-term injury to internal organs.
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a genetic disorder that causes recurrent episodes of fever that are typically accompanied by pain in the abdomen, chest or joints. It most often occurs in individuals of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern descent, and the first episodes typically begin in childhood.
The disease generally affects people of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern descent, typically Sephardic Jews, Turks, Arabs and Armenians. Since the discovery of the gene defect, it is being diagnosed more frequently, even among populations where it was thought to be very rare, such as Italians, Greeks Ashkenazi Jews and even among Asian populations. FMF episodes start before the age of 20 years in approximately 90 percent of the patients. In about 75 percent of patients, fever appears before the age of 10 years. FMF can appear or be active in adults, but often the disease is milder and less obvious (and harder to diagnose) than in children.

Common Office 365 Features – how can I use these features in Excel, Word and PowerPoint?
This week’s hint and tip is about common office 365 features, specifically in Excel, Word and PowerPoint. We are looking at how you can use these when using all three of these packages. These features are all covered in our courses, but we also decided to do a hint and tip bringing them together. We are going to go through them now below.
This little fella is a great button. It allows you to multiple paste a format of text from one place to several other ones. Great in word for headings, in PowerPoint for bullets and in Excel for cell formatting.
This option is found on the Home Tab. Firstly select what you want to copy the formatting from and then single click to paste once or double click to paste more than once.
Insert Screenshot clipping
This feature allows you to insert a clip from another window into a Word document, PowerPoint slide or Excel cell.
To use it, go to the Insert Tab and then select the Screenshot option (or Insert Tab, Illustrations, Screenshot).
This feature allows you to insert a really smart diagram to illustrate a process, cycle or hierarchy chart for example. Here’s an example of a process diagram.
To insert SmartArt, go to the insert tab and select the Illustrations gallery select the option for SmartArt. From here you can pick the type that you want to use and insert it. From here you can then edit it to add the information required in it.
These can be inserted in Word and PowerPoint in a similar way to tabulate data and in Excel they are a good way of turning data in cells into a smart table for filtering and pivoting.
This option is found on the Insert Tab and by clicking on Table you can then insert a table of whatever size you need.
Here’s an example of an Excel table below
For more information on these techniques you can attend any one of our courses which can be found here.
We hope you have enjoyed this hint and tip on common Office 365 features. Why not take a look at our previous one on the footnotes feature in Word? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Love this line of coffee. It’s not burnt or too acidic, it’s the first coffee that does not impact my continued heart burn.
Thank you for asking what we thought of our new coffee. We’ve just returned to the US after living in Malaysia for 6 yrs and we’ve been looking for coffee beans. My daughter uses your coffee and we’ve enjoyed it when we visit, so decided to try it and have now found our coffee bean!!! YAY!!
This espresso did not disappoint!! I need to try the other blends now! I’m reordering asap. the taste is smooth, bold, rich and so enjoyable. Plus, that it’s organic makes it 100x better.
This coffee is new to me as recommended by my holistic doctor. The low acid truly makes a monumental difference in taste and how I feel!!! Wish I could turn back time and have this sooner. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
This is the only coffee I will drink now. I’m on an animal based diet and have to be very particular with what I consume or my psoriasis will flare up. That being said I just can’t give up my coffee. This coffee is amazing and causes no issues for me and I love it. Ground coarse is the way to go if you use a traditional coffee maker in my opinion unless you have time to grind it up yourself. This coffee is a game changer. Love it.
I’ve tried other organic coffee delivery services and this one is definitely the winner! When it arrived and I opened the box, the inviting aroma of premium coffee filled my house for hours. The cost is very reasonable and the coffee is delicious. Other coffees may also be gentle on the stomach, but this is the first brand I’ve found that doesn’t sacrifice its flavor to be so.
Enjoying a cup of Guatemala, binoculars, and birds. Coffee is NOT bitter. Best coffee I’ve found so far for my taste buds and it’s grown bird friendly. Well done!!
When on a birding adventure we decided that we wanted to vote with our $ and support our 🪶friends. This is great coffee that is low in acid and good for the environment/ people. The French press is double walled and the price is a deal.
I just upgraded my espresso machine and wanted to try some fresh beans. I’d been using grocery store beans up until. This. blend gave me a beautiful crema and a delicious flavor. I’ll never go back to grocery beans, you have me hooked.
I searched the internet and that goodness found Java Planet! Organic, low acid, decaf coffee! I couldn't believe it! It is fabulous!! Customer service is so helpful if you have any questions. I was able to purchase with confidence! I got the coarse ground so I could use my French Press. I can once again enjoy fresh coffee in my own home without the stomach upset!
A full flavored dark roast without the bitterness that has ruined other dark roasts for me.
Java Planet never disappoints! Great quality organic coffee at great prices! I am very picky about my coffee and love these beans!
I can't tell you how pleased I am to have my favorite coffee again. My local grocer used to sell it but discontinued recently. Once again, morning is something to look forward to.
This is by far the best coffee I’ve ever had! I love that it’s not bitter at all. The taste is amazing. Already ordered another 5lb bag! Thanks for making a great cup of coffee!
I love the low acid coffees! No more heartburn, and with decaf low acid I can have coffee all day!
I gifted this set to my daughter so she could try Java Planet. She’s loving the low acid coffees too!

Undercover sting busts 13 suspected drug dealers in Jerusalem
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS
Jerusalem police on Tuesday arrested 13 residents of the city for dealing in drugs, police said.
The suspects, who are primarily residents of the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya and the Shuafat refugee camp, were incriminated by a 25-year-old undercover police agent who posed as a drug dealer over the last several months, Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.
The undercover cop, also an Arab resident of east Jerusalem, purchased an assortment of drugs, including heroin and cocaine, from each of the suspects multiple times, police said.
The drugs were also uncovered in a police search of the suspects' homes, while heroin was found inside a rubber glove inside one of the men's bodies.
The alleged drug dealers were brought to a Jerusalem court for a remand hearing on Tuesday, where they will be indicted on drug charges. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

These weren't blooming a week ago, but apparently Mother Nature has decided she's tired of endless March and has gone straight to July. It's 90 today, and 2 days ago, it was 40. Go figure.
One part of my landscaping that might not have survived all the weather-induced drama is my young street tree. You'll note the leafless shadow on the sidewalk. It had begun to bud and we got one last, hard frost and all the leaf buds turned black and fell off. Now it just looks sad.
Maybe it'll come back. And one thing I've learned in all my years of gardening is that there's no point in crying over a dead plant (or tree). It's just an opportunity to try planting something new.
Happy spring, everyone. Hopefully you haven't gone from shivering to sweating in the space of a few days. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Have you noticed how left-brain thinking is the dominant approach in business, politics, economics, social policy... every aspect that governs society, really.
There is no room for, well, the F word... FEELINGS.
If we had FEELINGS actually factor into our policies, legislation, guidelines... then it would be much harder to justify the racist, sexist, classist... biases that have become systemic in our modern day society. Much easier to dominate if we do it from our logical thought process than if we endeavor to come from the heart, right?
Exploring how that came to be is a whole other topic and, I think, we can all agree that patriarchy has a hand in the devaluing of what is considered a feminine characteristic.
The point being, our culture has become feeling - avoidant. When women feel, they are seen as too much to handle. When men feel, they are shamed and emasculated. That's so sad.
And what happens when we unwittingly collude with the program to not feel our feelings? They don't go away. They don't resolve themselves. They don't sit there quietly, obediently waiting until we give the command to move.
Our unprocessed emotions are like little beacons, sending a vibe into the world to attract people, circumstances, situations... that resonate with the pain, fear, anger... that is like a caged tiger needing to be let out. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Home Inspection Tips For First Time Buyers
If you’re a first-time home buyer, you may not know what to expect from the process of a home inspection. So, in this article, we’ll break down our top tips for first-time buyers, and help you learn what you should expect from the process. Let’s get into it.
Find The Right Inspector
First, you should try to find a reputable, affordable home inspector in your area. You can ask around for recommendations from family and friends, and your real estate agent should also have a list of local inspectors in your area. Do a little bit of research and read some online reviews, and schedule interviews with inspectors who you’re interested in working with. You’re sure to find a reputable, experienced inspector near you, such as Key Inspection Services.
Consider “Extras” You May Need
While interviewing a home inspector, you may also want to consider which other “extra” inspection services you’re interested in. There are some tests that are not included with a standard home inspection, such as:
- Mold testing
- Radon testing
- Sewer scope inspections
- Asbestos testing
- Lead testing
These will cost you an additional fee, but may be worth the investment if you’re buying an older home, and would like to make sure that you check for any potential issues pre-purchase.
Follow Along During The Inspection And Ask Questions
Typically, the home inspector will allow you to accompany them during the process of a home inspection. You should let them focus on their jobs, but typically you’re also welcome to ask them any questions that you may have throughout the process.
Once they’ve finished the inspection, they’ll also be able to provide you with a comprehensive overview of the home’s condition, inform you about any potential issues, and answer any final questions you have. You’ll get an initial checklist regarding the condition of the home, and a full report will be sent to you once it has been written up by the inspector.
Don’t Even Think About Skipping A Home Inspection
We understand that purchasing a home for the first time can be a costly endeavor. Closing costs, the cost of moving your stuff, hiring a real estate agent – it adds up. But don’t even think about trying to avoid the cost of a home inspection.
Sure, a home inspector will cost you a few hundred bucks, in most cases. But a home inspection could potentially save you thousands – or even tens of thousands – of dollars in the long run, by identifying serious issues like faulty electrical wiring, plumbing leaks, roofing issues, and more.
A home inspector gives you peace of mind, and also helps you negotiate a better rate on the home you’d like to buy, should any issues be noted throughout the inspection process. Sure, we’re a little biased – but we’d say that’s well worth the investment!

Egyptian cotton, known for its softness, is gentle on the skin, reducing the risk of irritation. Additionally, Tencel fabric, derived from sustainable eucalyptus fibres, is environmentally conscious and hypoallergenic, making it an ideal choice for sensitive skin.

'Resist': Activists Unfurl Massive Banner On Crane Behind White House
On Wednesday morning, activists from Greenpeace unfurled a massive yellow and orange banner with the word "Resist" on a tall crane behind the White House.
"We climbed up the crane this morning, and occupied it and locked and chained ourselves in," the environmental group's board chairman Karen Topakian, 62, told The Two-Way.
We reached her as she was chained and locked high up on the construction crane with six other activists.
"I have a long, long history of fear of heights," she said. "As much as I have a fear of heights, I decided that I would do this because the risks are so great and so tremendous at this point with this administration."
Topakian, who lives in San Francisco, said the environmental group's protest aimed to send a message against Trump's plans and actions that he has already carried out. His positions on climate change, immigration and religious minorities motivated this protest, she said, among many other issues. She is lesbian and said she was also concerned about LGBT rights under the Trump administration.
Images of the Greenpeace protest were widely shared on social media. Topakian and the other activists had been up on the crane for at least nine hours, about three blocks from the White House.
A group of police were waiting below, she said, and the activists had agreed to "come down ourselves."
The D.C. Metropolitan Police department said they blocked several streets this morning because of the incident. "While we respect everyone's right to protest, today's actions are extremely dangerous and unlawful," it said in a statement.
A carpenter at the site, John Evans, said that the activists "must have arrived before workers showed up at 5 a.m," according to The Associated Press.
Evans told the wire service that the activists suspended high above appeared experienced: "Look how organized they are. They have the same equipment that I use every day ...They're professionals. Amateurs couldn't stay up there that long."

Overwhelming support for continuation of Morecambe Business Improvement District
Turnout in the ballot was 36.95% with 89.65% of businesses by number voting in favour and 80.2% in favour by rateable value. The vote was independently managed by Civica Electoral Services.
The successful ballot means that the Morecambe BID will remain in position until September 2026, with a projected £625,000 of levy payers’ money being used to attract shoppers and visitors to the town centre over the next five years through a series of initiative and improvements.
Hide AdMorecambe BID was established in 2016 to attract, sustain and boost investment in Morecambe’s town centre for the benefit of its levy payers and all those who live, work, shop and visit there.
In line with the UK’s other BIDs, Morecambe BID must ballot the businesses within the BID area every five years.
Business Improvement Districts are based on the principle of charging an additional levy on all business rate payers in a defined area, following a majority vote by those ratepayers.
Morecambe BID is a private not-for-profit Community Interest Company and operates on a levy paying system where business ratepayers within the BID area and occupying property with a rateable value of £3,500 or more, contribute a 1.5% levy. This money is then spent on projects and initiatives to increase footfall in the BID zone.
Hide AdThe successful ballot will ensure it can continue working on behalf of local shops, bars, restaurants, property owners, landlords, shopping centres and all other BID zone businesses until at least 2026.
Coun Tricia Heath, Lancaster City Council cabinet member with responsibility for economic recovery, said: “It’s fantastic news that Morecambe’s businesses have once again voted ‘yes’ to the Business Improvement District.
“Since its creation the BID has really complemented the work the city council undertakes in the town. We look forward to continuing our work with the business community to ensure Morecambe is a more prosperous place to live, shop, work and visit.”
The BID will now continue to work with the town’s business community to provide services over and above those already provided by the local authorities and set out in their new term business plan.
Hide AdTom Powney, chair of the Morecambe BID Management Board, said: “Tthe high percentage voting for BID 2 really reflects the hard work of our Manager and BID members over the last few years.
"We have a small group of local businesspeople who bring real innovation allowing us to think outside the box and punch well above our weight in terms of BID size and budget.
"We have some exciting improvement projects waiting to hit the streets and the hard work continues in building and continuing our partnerships with local Government and Eden for the benefit of Morecambe.”
Morecambe BID manager, John O’Neill, added: “The increased Yes Vote from five years ago really shows how much businesses value the support of Morecambe BID and gives us a strong remit moving forward coming out of the pandemic, especially with Eden on the horizon.
Hide Ad“Since the pandemic restrictions were eased earlier this year we have seen more, good quality, independent businesses open in Morecambe which is a huge vote of confidence in the future of the area.
“From the time when we were first elected Morecambe has really benefited from the opening of the Bay Gateway link road in 2016 which has made us the closest seaside resort to any major motorway in the UK with a point-to-point drive time of approximately ten minutes; the filming of The Bay TV series (currently filming series three), lots of positive publicity and, of course, the coming of the Eden Project North.
“A big commitment in our second term is to sponsor more public realm CCTV to which the police have direct access. The CCTV plans include fixed CCTV on both ends of Queen Street, and more cameras down the promenade, and New Town Square.
"Morecambe BID will also be an integral partner in plans to re-envisage the Morecambe illuminations for the 21st Century, as well as introducing more innovative improvements in the BID zone.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The monarch butterfly Candidate Conservation Agreement (CCAA) with Assurance with integrated Candidate Conservation Agreement (CCA) for energy and transportation lands is a remarkable opportunity to help the monarch and other pollinators. More than 45 energy and transmission companies and state departments of transportation are voluntarily committing time and funding to carry out monarch butterfly-friendly management practices on millions of acres in rights of way. In turn, their actions may preclude the need to list the monarch or could speed recovery if the monarch is listed under the Endangered Species Act. Additionally, the agreement provides participants regulatory assurances that additional conservation measures will not be required if the monarch is protected under the ESA.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has approved an “enhancement of survival” permit application associated with this agreement. The permit holder is the University of Illinois-Chicago, which is coordinating participation.

No longer just for Beta users, Google Now can be accessed from your Windows, Mac or Chromebook desktop. That means that your handy contextually-aware cards that appear on your Android phone can be seen in your Chrome browser.
The location and time-aware Google Now cards give you access to all sorts of information at a glance, including sports scores, weather reports, directions to your meeting, event reminders, package tracking and so much more. Not everyone has access right away, as Google says it will be "seeding" the feature over the next few weeks.
When it is available for you, you'll merely need to sign into your desktop Chrome with the same account that you use on your phone. You can do so by opening the Chrome browser on your laptop, clicking the three horizontal bars on the top right and selecting "Sign in to Chrome." You will only see location-based Google Now cards on your desktop for devices that have location reporting turned on.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★½
Don't buy it if: You're not keen on switching to a foldable phone. Consider an alternative productivity Android phone like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with S pen.
Design-wise, the OnePlus Open features is the lightest, thinnest foldable on the market yet super durable thanks being test folded 1,00,000,000 times the highest testing of any foldable. Our gorgeous Voyager Black review unit was like a beautiful black slate of glass and metal construction and a barely visible OnePlus logo on the rear beneath the unique, circular OnePlus camera nodule. The famous slider in on the left edge and the volume rocker and fingerprint scanner and function buttons are on the right.
At 6.03 x 5.63 x 0.22 inches (opened) and 6.03 x 2.88 x 0.46 (closed) the 8.3 ounce Open slips right into your pocket. The Open is on par with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 (6.1 x 2.64 x 0.53-inches (folded) and 6.1 x 5.11 x 0.24-inches (unfolded, 8.92 ounces), and superior in some ways, while costing less. The Open's other competition is formidable, and wonderful Google Pixel Fold (5.5 x 3.1 x 0.5 inches when folded and 5.5 x 6.2 x 0.2 inches when unfurled, 10 ounces), which feels like a brick in comparison.
