Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN), took off to outer space on a Blue Origin mission, hence kicking off space tourism.
Bezos Kicked-Off Space Tourism
The date marked the 52nd anniversary of humans landing on the Moon in NASA’s Apollo XI Mission, but five decades later the space race continues its course with several billionaire adventurers deciding to bet on commercial flights into space.
With today’s trip, Jeff Bezos has joined the competition alongside other powerful magnates such as Elon Musk and Richard Branson.
The flight lasted 10 minutes at a speed of 2,300 mph, reaching an altitude of 100 kilometers. With a seat valued at $28 million, it is estimated to have cost $2.8 million per minute.
The crew consisted of Bezos and his brother Mark, as well as Wally Funk, an 82-year-old aviation pioneer, and Oliver Daemen, an 18-year-old teenage tourist. There were no pilots since the capsule is completely automated.
Before the launch, the New Shepard had made 15 automated test flights with no people on board, as reported by NBC, with Bezos and the crew conducting an intensive training course on Sunday.
Amazon is part of the Entrepreneur Index, which tracks 60 of the largest publicly traded companies managed by their founders or their founders’ families.
A Sensational Milestone
The group was traveling in the capsule attached to the top of the rocket, which they accessed half an hour before launch.
Once checks had been carried out, the four crew members awaited the start of the trip comfortably lying down and with their seat belts fastened.
After 9 am EDT, the countdown gave way to the engines’ ignition, propelling the New Shepard rocket into the sky at blistering speed.
As the mark where the Kármán line was set, rocket and capsule separated while laughter and shouts of joy filtered through the live broadcast of the event.
Meanwhile, the euphoric astronauts enjoyed the weightlessness and views of the Earth. The journey lasted 10 minutes after takeoff, and three parachutes slowed the fall.
The New Shepard vehicle will carry out two more flights this year. In the next launch, the still anonymous winner of the auction will travel for a seat in today’s trip that he rejected due to scheduling problems.
Before taking off, Bezos told CNN that the space tourism mission was about “building a road to space for the next generations to do amazing things there, and those amazing things will solve problems here on Earth.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Veterans Foundation is proud to support Little Troopers.
Who are Little Troopers?
Little Troopers recognises that children of forces personnel face unique challenges that many of their peers and other families would not fully understand or ever face. Serving parents can often be away on training exercises, operational tours and other duties.
Separation from parents can be tough on every child, Little Troopers exists to provide support to forces families during times of separation.
The charity was set up by British Army veteran Louise Fetigan. Her husband has been on 6 operational tours since their daughter was born in 2003.
Louise knows full well that not only is the separation itself tough on families, but the stress and anxiety of worrying about a partner’s safety whilst on tour can have a negative impact on the lives of children and the family who stay at home.
Any child of a serving parent in the British Army, Royal Air Force or Royal Navy is eligible for support from Little Troopers. Formed in 2011, Little Troopers has supported many children through tough times when a parent is away on tour.
Their work in RAF Brize Norton is especially notable, they supported many children whose parents were on tour. They arranged for Chelsea FC football coaches to come to RAF Brize Norton and run football training camps. This proved very popular with the children and helped them cope with parents being away.
Little Troopers prides itself on being dynamic and flexible when it comes to offering support to children and their families. They have built a warm and caring community that is ready to help.
The Veterans Foundation believes that the work done by Little Troopers is incredibly valuable. We are proud to support them and hope they continue to grow and are able to help more and more children as they grow.
How does Veterans' Foundation support Little Troopers?
The Veterans’ Foundation grant will enhance the Little Troopers at School project.
In 2021 the charity is heading out on the road across England to run workshops for schools, as well as a conference series, with the aim of getting as many people as possible talking about military education and the importance of understanding the unique challenges military life can bring.
“It is so important to Little Troopers that military children are recognised, celebrated and included and the Veterans’ Foundation grant really does help us to meet all those core values,” explained Louise.
The Veterans’ Foundation has donated £2million to 140 military and veterans’ charities. We are growing and giving more grants every year. We couldn’t change the lives of veterans without our amazing supporters who donate, play The National Veterans’ Lottery or leave a little something in their will for The Veterans’ Foundation.
Help us change lives today by playing The National Veterans’ Lottery. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Rod Ashby lost his home, then his wife, then nearly $40,000. The North Carolina man’s ordeal started in September when Hurricane Helene hit. The floodwaters swept away the home Rod and his wife, Kim Ashby, had spent the last two years building, CNN reported.
The couple was eating breakfast when their house began moving in the floodwaters. Rod grabbed Kim and their three dogs, and held onto a mattress and a wall, as their house floated down the river, Kim’s daughter, Jessica Meidinger, told the outlet. Eventually, Rod and Kim were separated. Kim hasn’t been seen since. She’s one of two people still missing as a result of the storm, which killed more than 200 people, the outlet reported.
Videos by VICE
Rod soon realized that he needed a four-wheel drive truck to navigate the destroyed roads, so that he could search for Kim. His own vehicle had been ruined by the hurricane. The Navy veteran came across a seemingly “legit” website that claimed to sell repossessed vehicles at lower prices, Ansley Ashby, Rod’s daughter, told the outlet.
Rod wired almost $40,000 to purchase the vehicle and waited for the car to be delivered. Soon, though, Ansley realized the car was still listed as available. Ansley called the website, pretending to be interested in the vehicle her dad had purchased, and was told the truck was available. Upon further research, Ansley realized that the website was impersonating a real car dealership and that her dad had been scammed.
Rod Ashby’s Family Speaks Out
“It’s just another gut punch,” Ansley told the outlet. “You just feel so helpless.”
Rod contacted his bank about the scam, but has yet to recover the funds. He’s also filed a police report Chatham County Sheriff’s Office. The case is under investigation, a spokesperson for the office told the outlet.
With Kim and three dogs still missing, Ansley lamented how the scammer “took advantage of our situation.”
Amid the devastating period, Jessica set up a GoFundMe for the family. It has raised nearly $65,000 of its $100,000 goal.
“Our hearts are breaking more each day, but no one has been more mentally and emotionally impacted than Rod,” Jessica wrote on the fundraiser’s page. “Kim and Rod have dedicated their lives to public service, Kim as a NC teacher for over 20 years and Rod serving in the U.S. Navy and retiring after 30 years of service.”
“With everything they’ve given to our community over the course of their lives, it is our turn to help them in their time of need,” she continued. “We can’t do much to help them physically or emotionally, but we can help lift the financial burden this disaster has caused them.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Finally our last day in Murree. We planned to have some fun at Sozo Park near Lower Topa. The park hosts several rides including water activities. I also visited the park in 2007 and it was very economical at Rs 100/- per person.

the price is like any other voip company out there. but the customer service is great.
I used the system with the APP on my cell phone. Problem is that the quality of sound was so poor. Dropped calls, calls that didn't connect, etc. Although they do have a phone number for customer service, plan to spend half a day on hold. Also, if I was on a call on my cell phone, and a call came in on the MagicJack App, my phone call would be cut off. Not good! Further, DO NOT BY ADVANCE YEARS/SUBSCRIPTIONS. Although they do not tell you when you buy the extra years, they will not refund the subscription, even if the year has not started.
I am currently using the Magic-Jack Plus device. This device powers up by the 5 volts / 1 A adapter recommended by the manufacture. I noticed that when the voice static happened in back ground then I have to replace to the new power adapter and it will be fine. It seems to be the Magic-Jack device overheats causing the power adapter burned out quickly. I have replaced the new power adapters within the past few months and continuing to do the same in the future. So bad for the quality with this device. Also when using the Magic-Jack and the date and time setting up in my home phone are always in-corrected with my current region. I contacted the customer services and they can not resolve this issue because they are located in different state. They also don't have the direct contact email. I have to wait a way long in the telephone conversation with them when needed. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

What sets us apart from our competitors?
The products we offer have been carefully selected for quality and functionality to insure the highest level of customer satisfaction. We know it is sometimes hard to commit to a purchase when you cannot see and feel the actual product at hand. By offering only the highest quality goods we insure that you won't be disappointed when your order arrives. This strategy (developed by LL Bean) eliminates both returned goods and disappointed customers. In fact our return rate is virtually zero, an unheard of number in the on-line industry!
Our Personalized Service:
The Wall To Wall Storage agent who handles your inquiry will be your assigned customer representative for the life or your order. They will answer all your questions and resolve all problems regardless of the issue. No more explaining your situation over and over again each time you call or get transferred because no transfer will occur! We are NOT a large impersonal corporation that cares more about numbers than customers. Your satisfaction come first and in fact; it's guaranteed!
Our Best Price Policy:
We strive to give our customers the best price possible. On very rare occasion you may find an identical item on sale for less at a competitors site. Just let us know the details and we will strive to meet or beat their delivered price*. As dad used to say " a penny saved is a penny earned"!
Our Track Record:
We have been in business for decades and our staff is completely schooled in all areas concerning storage products, services, and ideas. This is currently a hot industry and it seems that every day somebody is starting a new company to try to emulate ours. While the vast majority of these individuals are sincere they simply haven't yet acquired the needed experience, industry contacts, or resources necessary to insure your complete satisfaction. As dad used to always say "dance with the one who brought ya'"!
Our Open & Honest Policy:
We are committed to being completely honest and forthright in all dealings with our customers, suppliers, and other business associates. How can this policy directly benefit you? Well, for instance at the time of this writing a particular popular line of cabinets we carry is out of stock due to factory production issues by the manufacturer. When we were notified of this issue we immediately posted an out of stock message on our website. When we checked our competitor's websites who carry this same line not a single one had mentioned that these cabinets were unavailable! Imagine the disappointment of their customers who went ahead and placed orders only to find out later that their items wouldn't ship until six weeks later! As dad used to say "honesty is the best policy"! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
What Should You Do If Someone Close To You Gets Charged With A Crime?
A brother and sister from southeastern Florida are currently facing criminal charges for Medicare fraud. Ted Albin of Stuart and Erin Foley of Loxahatchee own a durable medical equipment (DME) company that provides supplies such as wheelchairs and supplemental oxygen equipment. Their company allegedly filed more than $9 million of fraudulent claims to Medicare. The criminal complaint against them indicates that Albin and Foley allegedly conspired with other people and exchanged kickbacks with them as part of the scheme, but so far, no other defendants have been charged. The defendants are the wife and brother-in-law of Randy Foley, Captain of the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office, but he also has not been charged with a crime. If your family members or employees are being accused of a financial crime, contact a West Palm Beach white collar crime lawyer.
Can You Refuse to Cooperate With a Criminal Investigation?
The assumption behind the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution is that the state’s authority to search your property and to compel you to speak is very limited. Therefore, failure to report criminal activity or suspected criminal activity that you witness does not constitute a crime; the exceptions relate to “mandatory reporters,” such as teachers and physicians, who work with children in a professional capacity and must report it to the authorities if they reasonably suspect that a child under their care has experienced physical or sexual abuse.
In other words, if a family member, friend, or coworker of yours does illegal things in your presence or says or does things that you think seem shady (such as taking pills from a prescription bottle with the label removed or possessing valuable items that you think are stolen), you have the right to mind your own business. If you receive a subpoena to testify as a witness or to give a deposition, you must respond to the subpoena and provide testimony. If you think that it is unfair for the court to call you as a witness, you can hire a lawyer to petition the court to quash the subpoena and free you of the obligation to testify. When you testify, you must answer truthfully; if you lie under oath, you can be charged with perjury. If you think that your truthful answer to a question could cause you to get criminal charges, plead the Fifth Amendment.
If you are a business owner, and financial crimes occur at your place of business, you could get into legal trouble if you reasonably should have known that employees of your company were engaging in fraud or money laundering. Not only could you be charged with conspiracy to commit financial crimes, but you could also face civil lawsuits from people who suffered financial losses because of your employees’ actions.

The Base Infrastructure Modernization program envisions a more modern network architecture involving both wired and wireless components.
The Air Force has awarded 23 companies positions on a potential 10-year, $12.5 billion contract to help the Air Force modernize network infrastructures at bases and other major locations around the world.
Air Force officials received 47 proposals for the contract that covers all aspects of the wired and wireless components in classified and unclassified networks, the Pentagon said in its Friday awards digest.
Work will also take place at Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve bases over the contract's full duration, which covers an initial five-year base period and a single option to extend for five additional years.
The Air Force set up the Base Infrastructure Modernization program to acquire and stand up a modern network architecture that can facilitate interoperability with joint network and mission systems, offer centralized vulnerability management and provide reliable data connections across installations.
Awardees are as follows:
- Agile Decision Science
- Agile Government
- Booz Allen Hamilton
- CACI International
- CDO Technologies
- General Dynamics' IT services business
- Lumen Technologies
- M.C. Dean
- Open San Consulting
- SMS Data Products Group
- Sumaria Systems
- TM3 Solutions
- Trace Systems
- Tundra Federal
BIM is the successor to a prior piece of the Air Force's Enterprise IT-as-a-Service initiative, also known as EITaaS, that focused on experiments in using commercial networks and their related capabilities.
The new contract will have awardees compete to design, install, test and maintain the digital and physical assets of the networks. Awardees will also be responsible for operating, monitoring and sustaining the network based on requirements for multidomain operations. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Kennedy Murphy is a member of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma and the Kiowa Tribe and hails from Carnegie, Oklahoma. She attends Haskell Indian Nations University and plans to graduate in the Spring of 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in American Indian Studies. She plans to attend graduate school following my graduation. Kennedy has always had a great interest in history, specifically Indigenous history because “I believe that as Indigenous people, we are living history; we are our Ancestors wildest dreams. I want to keep our Ancestors an Elders history truthful and from an Indigenous perspective because our history has been twisted into heinous and blatant lies due to racism and prejudice.”
Kennedy’s interest in Indigenous history began only recently in 2019, her freshman year of college. She attended a predominantly white university in Northwest OK and began to realize how out of place she felt as an Indigenous person. People would question her beliefs and view them as unrealistic, just because her beliefs were not the same as theirs. She knew she had to transfer to Haskell, and once she did, felt comfortable in her surroundings and her education became more obtainable. At Haskell, the classes and community are irreplaceable. Every day she is able to learn something new about her culture and those she shares it with. Kennedy is forever grateful for the opportunities that Haskell has given her. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Today, Governor Tony Evers announced that he would be allocating $45 million for crime victim services and violence prevention efforts, administered by the Department of Justice and the
Department of Administration, respectively. This timing is critical, arriving as the federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding decreases. VOCA grant recipients face a 30% cut over the next two years, which would be devastating for programs and the critical services they provide for survivors, particularly now, with the COVID-19 pandemic increasing the demand for services. The Governor’s decision today will help stabilize funding for survivor services in Wisconsin.
“WCASA applauds Governor Evers’s decision to allocate $20 million for services for survivors in Wisconsin,” said Pennie Meyers, Executive Director of WCASA. “VOCA is a critical source of funding for sexual assault services, including culturally-specific services provided to Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) survivors. The funding announced today avoids cuts that would have led to a devastating impact on survivors.”
Survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse are experiencing significantly higher amounts of distress and have more complex needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Just as COVID-19 disproportionately impacted BIPOC people, the pandemic has also inequitably impacted BIPOC survivors.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has isolated many survivors with abusive partners, and it’s more important than ever we ensure they have access to services,” stated Monique Minkens, Executive Director at End Abuse. “We thank Governor Evers for recognizing the disastrous impact that more cuts would have had and for acknowledging that violence in our communities necessitates a commitment to prevention work and a multifaceted approach to addressing violence.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Royal Family is the British family who has great earning sources. They get support from the UK Parliament for the finance of the house, and the total profit that comes from Crown Estate are used to overcome the expenditure of sovereign cost.
Royal Family, at the time of 1760, manages all the expenses from hereditary income, which contains the earning of Crown Estate. At that time, King George III once decided to give-up his hereditary revenue in exchange for the Civil List, which didn’t affect the Crown Estate and remains in the property of the sovereign. Since 1960, the people of the United Kingdom are paying the Civil List, and this process stopped in 2012.
After the modern age, all the revenue of the Crown Estate always comes higher than the Civil List.
In the Royal Family, Queen gets about £7.9 million every year annually from 2001 to 2012. Since the earning of the Royal Family rises as compared to the past several years. In 2011, the earning which was calculated for the Royal Family is about £30 million per annum. Moreover, the family has provided the total amount of £1 million for celebrating the Diamond Jubilee celebration, which was held in 2012.
At the time of the Sovereign Grant Act 2011, the people of the United States have to fund the money to the Royal Family annually, which was replaced in the year. After 2012, the money which was decided to pay for the Sovereign was interlinked with the total revenue of the Crown Estate of the Government.
In 2012, the revenue which was deposited in the sovereign Grant came about the total of £31 million, which was increases to £36.1 million in the year 2013. After a year, the revenue which was collected in the Crown Estate came about £37.9 million, which can be a great revenue generated for the Royal Family.
In 2016, the National Audit teams of officers are selected to audit the Royal Family revenue every year, which comes under section 6(1) along with subsection 6(4). Later, they decided to increase the sovereign Grant to 25%, which was previously taken for 15%.
The 25% is the huge amount and decided to revert it back to 15%, and the project may take ten years to finish. The British Sovereign also has private estate as Duchy of Lancaster, which contains large revenue in terms of assets and landholding. At the end of every year, the total revenue which was generated by the duchy is presented to the Royal House annually.
The government didn’t take tax from the Royal Family as the act of parliament hasn’t applied a tax on it. The tax may be in any form as capital gains tax, income tax, inheritance tax, or any other.
Net Worth of Royal Family
As of December 2024, The British Royal Family has estimate net earnings of around $90 billion. The earning of the Queen and her near ones didn’t include in it. One of the researchers also reveals about the Family that the monarchy also made its contribution of 1.8 billion euros for the development of the economy of the UK. Other than revenue, their properties, which are named under the Royal family, are near about $33 billion in the account of Cornwall. Their incomes from different fields like fashion, business, and tourism are about $55 billion. It may be a huge collection of the Royal Family.
The Royal Family is considered the richest family in the UK. Their revenue comes from the public funds at the rate of 25%, which will be decline further to 15%. Their assets, lands, and all the properties are tax-free, which are exempted for hundreds of years. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Stuart Dimson is a kind, caring, knowledgeable practitioner. He has treated my husband, son and me over the last few years. He has always been on time and he always listens to us in a way that makes us feel truly cared for. I experienced relief from my symptoms right after my treatment. It was really amazing how I could walk in to Stuart's office barely able to move my neck and walk out with almost total relief. I have recommended Stuart Dimson to all of my friends and I recommend him to anyone looking for relief from acupuncture.
Interested at the idea of alternative medicine, I stopped in for a free consultation with Dr. Dimson. After only a few minutes all of my questions were answered in a way that made sense. I had a terrible fear of needles but after seeing such great results I also encouraged my husband to begin treatment. After just one visit for his chronic hip and back pain and he too was amazed by his results. Not only have I seen great results from acupuncture but also personally felt the amazing effects of his personally blended Chinese herbal tea. It worked faster as a cold and flu relief then anything I have ever taken. I too can agree with the reviews of others of just how comfortable Dr. Dimson makes you feel, but I also must express my excitement from trying a treatment that actually works
I have chemical sensitivity and from time to time feel exhausted and run down after even a mild exposure of cleaning products. After having a treatment from Dr. Dimson I felt wonderful. I was not feeling well for weeks, but the very same day I felt better. I was able to resume the things I needed to do and even had energy to start exercising again. Dr. Dimson also gave me a special blend of custom chinese herbs that helped with my health issues, respiratory, digestive, and sleep. He is very professional and I felt comfortable with him right away. I recommend him highly. Thank Dr.Dimson!!!

When Westbrook was preparing to open it’s doors for the first time on September 19, 2011, we sent out postcards to people living in the community. Each postcard gave insight to our vision as a church. The postcards described a church where all could belong, become more like Christ, and be a blessing to our community and the world.
The postcard which described our vision about being a blessing reads:
At Westbrook Community Church we want to pool our talents to make a difference for people in our community and the world around us. It seems that Jesus once said “it’s not just about us”.....so we are serious about this “helping our neighbor” thing.
Guess what? Eleven years later we are still serious about this “helping our neighbor” thing.
In February we were all about impacting our community through the New Life Donation Drive. It was so fun to see the donations come in and thanks to you – it was a huge success. As a church, we donated the following items to New Life:
· Pack-n-plays: 4
· Strollers: 6
· Potty Seat: 2
· Bouncy Chair: 4
· Formula: 7
· Various children's clothes: 1 box
· Diapers/Pull-ups: 15 boxes
· Packs of wipes: 29
· Boxes of wipes: 9
· Target gift card
New Life is so thankful for the donations, and they are excited to use these items to bless the families they serve.
A couple of weeks ago, I attended a Love, INC event. At this event, I was remined how our partnership with this community organization helps us serve people in our community who are struggling. This past year, Love, INC served over 700 families and answered over 2,200 calls for help. Love, INC meets those needs by partnering with churches in Carver County. The specific division of Love, INC. that Westbrook partners with is Loads of Love. Loads of Love provides laundry and dishwashing supplies to people in our community who are in hardship.
Thank you for your donations of dish soap, dishwasher, and/or laundry detergent. Those donations are blessing people in our community.
Finally, we are blessing our community through our garden. Yes, Westbrook has a garden. Last year, members of Westbrook organized and planted a garden. As a result, the garden team donated 134 pounds of fresh vegetables to Bountiful Basket. This year the team is planning to donate even more to Bountiful Basket.
In order for Westbrook to continue to bless our community – we need you. So think about the following ways to help and let us know how you plan to use your talents to help your neighbor.
Can you donate dish soap, dishwasher and/or laundry detergent?
Are you willing to make deliveries for our Loads of Love program?
Do you love to garden?
Can you help weed or help with watering the plants in our garden? | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly has extended for six months a program that has allowed tens of thousands of Haitians to remain in the U.S. following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
But Trump administration officials say they believe conditions are improving on the Caribbean island and that Haitians should make plans to return to their home country.
Some 58,000 Haitians are in the U.S. under a program known as Temporary Protected Status. The designation was extended to Haitians in the U.S. after the earthquake, which killed more than 200,000 people, and was set to expire in July.
Kelly is extending the TPS designation until January 2018, but he says conditions are improving in Haiti. Seven years after the earthquake, he says, the economy is growing and only a small number of Haitians are still in camps for displaced persons.
And Kelly cites are other signs of improvement: The government has announced plans to rebuild the presidential palace, and conditions have stabilized enough that U.N. forces are preparing to leave the country.
But Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., says Haiti is still struggling.
"The reality is that in six months Haiti will still be in no position to absorb and aid 58,000 unemployed people," she said in a statement. "It will still be recovering from the 2010 earthquake and the subsequent cholera epidemic imported by U.N. peacekeepers that has killed 10,000. And it will still be struggling to rebuild the extensive damage its infrastructure incurred after Hurricane Matthew struck the island-nation last October.
"During this six-month reprieve, I invite DHS officials to join me on a trip to Haiti."
Kelly is expected to decide before January whether to renew the program once again or end it.
A report prepared by the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, James McCament, in April recommended the secretary terminate the program, but delay the effective date until January to allow "a period of orderly transition."
In a statement Monday, Kelly said, "I believe there are indications that Haiti — if its recovery from the 2010 earthquake continues at pace — may not warrant further TPS extension past January 2018. TPS as enacted in law is inherently temporary in nature, and beneficiaries should plan accordingly that this status may finally end after the extension announced today." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
“We're not offering a van version of this vehicle, but we might just consider doing so at some point in the future,” says sales director, Guy Jones.
The Birmingham-based GAZ subsidiary is also forging ahead with a programme to introduce versions of Maxus that will run on compressed natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. It's doing so in conjunction with powertrain manufacturer VM, the existing engine supplier.
In addition it's developing a battery-powered Maxus in conjunction with RVL.
There have been major upheavals in LDV's management over the past 12 months with three senior executives departing. Appointing Russians to key posts has involved one or two difficulties over visas, says Jones — relations between the British and Russian governments are somewhat awkward at present — but they seem to have been resolved.
At home LDV is selling fewer vehicles to the big daily rental fleets than it did previously — they offer volume, but not much profit — and entering into far fewer buy-back agreements.
“What we're trying to do instead is focus on retail sales and some of the more profitable fleet deals that are available,” Jones says. The company has strengthened its fleet sales team and is busy beefing up Special Vehicle Operations; an arm of the business that allows it to offer a huge variety of specialised conversions.
Delivery times for vehicles ordered from the factory to customer specifications are from four to six weeks on average, which gives LDV an advantage over some of its rivals. Foregoing rental fleet deals means that domestic registrations are likely to dip this year, however, Jones concedes — they reached 8,760 in 2007 — but sales to overseas buyers should rise.
Exports to Russia in particular look set to become increasingly important. “We're building 250 vehicles a week at present so we're down from where we were, but that's about to go up again thanks to another chunk of Russian volume,” Jones says. “We'll send 3,100 vehicles there this year and we should supply four times that number in 2009.
“What's more, we're expanding our network in the Benelux countries, France and Eastern Europe, and our sales in further-flung countries such as Malaysia,” he says.
The Maxus name looks set to be the one that is increasingly emphasised, especially in export markets, but the LDV name won't be abandoned entirely; and there are no plans for British dealers to scrap their LDV signs and put up GAZ signs instead. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In U.S. v. Doe, the defendant John Doe went to the Miami passport agency office to apply for a passport presenting drivers license, birth certificate and other identifying documents in the name of Laurn Daniel Lettsome. Doe was not Lettsome. When the passport agency official became suspicious, Doe was asked to return with more identification document. He then returned and suspecting fraud, the passport officials located the real Lettsome and discovered he was not the person who had applied for a passport. The defendant was called “John Doe” in this case because the government claimed it did not know his true identity.
Doe was charged with making a false statement in a passport application and two counts of aggravate identity theft. Doe pled guilty to making a false statement in a passport application but went to trial on the aggravated identity theft, claiming that the government failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Doe knew the false identification he was using belonged to a real person. The aggravated identity theft conviction provides for a mandatory two year sentence for possessing an identification of another person.
In the benchmark decision of Flores-Figueroa, the U.S. Supreme Court required the government to show the defendant knew the identification used belonged to another person. The Supreme Court acknowledged there were many ways the government could show this through circumstantial evidence. Following this decision, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed an aggravated identity theft conviction where it was shown the defendant had been successful in obtaining a drivers license or passport using the victim’s personal information. There was no need to show the defendant had knowledge of the rigorous verification process.
Here, the appellate court found circumstantial evidence that Doe knew the identification belonged to a real person by Doe’s repeated and successful testing of the authenticity of the victim’s identifying information prior to the crime, and by his using the birth certificate and social security card to obtain drivers license in two jurisdictions – the Virgin Islands and from the state of Florida. Doe also opened a bank account and obtained a credit card in the false name.
Even though the government did not present direct evidence that Doe knew of the verification process to which he subjected Lettsomes’ identifying documentation, the Eleventh Circuit precedent makes clear that it was not required to do so. A rational jury could have inferred based on ordinary human experience that federal and state governments routinely verify the authenticity of the identifying documentation. Also, the passport application say that documents and statements presented are all subjected to verification. Doe’s conduct could be understood to mean that he had unfaltering confidence in his ability to obtain a U.S. passport using Lettsome’s identification.
Evidenced showed Doe showed no trepidation about the possibility that Lettsome’s identifying information (his Virgin Islands D.L. and Florida D.L.) were not genuine. A rational jury could conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Doe never doubted for a moment that Lettsome identifying information belonged to a real person. Otherwise, the increased scrutiny from an official, on Doe’s first visit to the passport agency would have given Doe great pause about continuing the effort to obtain a passport.
Identity fraud like mail fraud and mortgage fraud are serious offenses that have life changing consequences. If you or someone you know has been arrested, is being investigated, or is accused of committing any type do fraud, you need an attorney to represent you who has the experience and expertise in criminal law to handle the problem. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Garth Brooks is opening up about family and how he's spending the holiday season. The singer got emotional while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night. Brooks has been going through a tough time personally as he faces sexual assault allegations.
Videos by Wide Open Country
The singer is embroiled in the middle of a lawsuit against a woman claiming he sexually assaulted her. Brooks didn't mention the lawsuit, but he did get emotional while talking about the holidays with Trisha Yearwood and his daughters.
"For me, [Christmas tree] ornaments are cool, but they gotta have a meaning to them," he said. "[Yearwood and I] always decorate with the three girls. We've done that since we've known each other. So the three girls have three bells, and that's the first thing that has to go on the tree.
Brooks fought back tears as he said, "I'm gonna start crying, sorry."
"That's the first thing that goes on the tree, and that means it's Christmas and that means it's time to love one another and drop all this silly s--t and just have some fun together," he continued.
Garth Brooks And Legal Woes
Meanwhile, he said that the tree normally goes up after Thanksgiving. However, he won't be home until a bit later because he's finishing up his Las Vegas residency.
"So Ms. Yearwood said, 'We're starting Christmas now.' That was about three weeks ago," he recounts.
Of the allegations, Brooks has denied having any involvement with the woman.
He said, "For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars. It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face. Hush money, no matter how much or how little, is still hush money. In my mind, that means I am admitting to behavior I am incapable of - ugly acts no human should ever do to another."
He continued, "We filed suit against this person nearly a month ago to speak out against extortion and defamation of character. We filed it anonymously for the sake of families on both sides. I want to play music tonight. I want to continue our good deeds going forward. It breaks my heart these wonderful things are in question now. I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Governor calls for more DCS funding, caseworkers
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Indiana is about to hire 100 new caseworkers for the Department of Child Services.
It is the governor’s reaction to an outside study that found that despite the addition of over 100 people last year and more than 200 the year before, DCS is still understaffed.
It is a circumstance that threatens the safety of high risk children in this state.
Gov. Mike Pence reacted by making a call for $15 million in new spending over the next two years to hire the 100 additional caseworkers as well as 17 new supervisors.
“We want to make sure not only that we’re meeting our statutory obligations in terms of the standards that have been set,” said Pence, “but we just simply want to do right by our kids.”
State Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane, who has been calling for more funding for DCS for months, said it will remain a top priority for Democrats.
“The department study confirms that those standards are valid,” he said in reference to recommended caseloads, “that we do need additional caseworkers and staff to come in compliance and the plan now is to get that funding to make sure that that happens.”
Lanane said it’s a good day for the protection of children and that in this case, the system worked. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Summer is at full steam with everybody putting on their swimsuits and looking to cool off. Of course, this is also the time when pool, beach and lake accidents are at their peak. Whether you’re headed to Coney Island, Brooklyn or The Hamptons on Long Island, it’s worth it to consider how these accidents tend to happen, so you and your family can relax and enjoy your swim.
BROOKLYN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY – SWIMMING ACCIDENTS CAN BE DEADLY
There are several types of swimming pool accidents that are quite common and one needs to be cautious about:
- Broken Pool Equipment – When a pool is not properly maintained, pool equipment can become a hazard. Improperly maintained pools are one of the leading causes of drowning accidents. Ask to see maintenance records.
- Negligent Supervision of Children – Poor training of lifeguards and camp counselors who do not know how to properly handle an emergency is glaring hazard. Before you entrust your children to the supervision of others, ask about training and qualifications.
- Overcrowding – Every pool must have posted the maximum amount of people that may use it at one time. If there are more people than there should be, that’s a red flag.
- Inclement Weather – All swimming areas are required to clear swimmers from the water when there is thunder and lightning present.
If you or a loved one has been injured at a swimming pool, beach or lake, due to negligence, it might be possible to be compensated. The only way to know for sure if to contact an experienced Brooklyn Personal Injury Attorney, who can investigate the facts of your case and provide you with guidance. Wittenstein & Wittenstein is the Top New York City Personal Injury Firm, serving Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Manhattan and Long Island for more than 60 years. Call 718-261-8114 to find out if you have a case for swimming area negligence.
BROOKLYN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY – SWIMMING AREAS CAN BE DANGEROUS OUTSIDE THE WATER, TOO
Flooring near pools is required to be of a type that does not become slippery when wet, that’s why it’s you find yourself wearing your flip flops to the edge of the water. Of course, those flip flops by the edge of the water can be dangerous, too! Owners and managers of swimming areas have a duty to keep them safe. If slippery floors or piles of flip flops cause an injury, they are responsible.
Slippery flooring or clutter near swimming areas can cause injuries such as:
- Knee injuries
- Head injuries
- Skull fractures
- Spinal cord injuries
When negligence causes serious injuries, serious litigation is required. That’s when you leading the Top Brooklyn Personal Injury Attorney at your side to investigate and litigate your case. Proving your case may require expert witnesses, investigation of corporate structures to ascertain all defendants and much more. Wittenstein & Wittenstein has been handling swimming area negligence cases for more than 60 years, we know exactly what to do.
BROOKLYN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ATTORNEY – SUMMER SAFETY CONCERNS
Unfortunately, not every summer day is sunny and bright! Thunderstorms can diminish visibility, and many drivers just refuse to slow down to matter how hard it’s raining! Remember to always reduce speed when it’s raining – make sure that you are driving slowly enough that you can clearly see the car in front of you while not following too closely. If a thunderstorm burst reduces your ability to see the car in front of you, the best choice is to pull over to the side of the road and wait it out. These torrential downpours usually don’t last long.
Slippery wet roads can cause skidding. Thunderstorms can cause flooding. Additionally, some cars can lose braking ability after driving through a deep puddle, so always check your brakes before proceeding.

Trees and bats
The Grey Headed Flying Fox are the most common type of bat we see in the Woollahra Local Government Area (LGA) and it is a species which is native to the Greater Sydney Region including urban and bushland environments. Loss of their natural habitat is the reason they seek food in urban areas such as Woollahra. Bats use our trees at night to forage and they move out of the area to a colony during the day to roost. The CSIRO, in conjunction with OEH and other state environmental agencies, has mapped all the known flying fox colony sites around Australia and found that there are none in our LGA (http://www.environment.gov.au/node/16393).
This type of Flying Fox is listed as a Vulnerable Species under both State and Federal legislation. As a Vulnerable Species, approval is required from the State Government to disturb or relocate a Grey-Headed Flying-Fox or modify its habitat. Based on this, we are unable to prune or remove trees specifically for bats.
The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) have produced a Draft Flying-fox Camp Management Policy. However, there are no colonies in Woollahra and any amendments to the policy should have no impact on the Woollahra LGA.
Also the Woollahra Council Tree Management Policy 2011 outlines that generally, we will not consider leaf or fruit fall, or sap drop, or bird or bat droppings as valid reasons for pruning trees as these are natural processes of trees and wildlife. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

WHO I AM
I am Postdoc with an interest in research that combines criminological theory with psychological insight and public policy.
In my current role as a Postdoc, I lead the Virtual Burglary Project - Pennsylvania.. In this project, I sought to examine how environmental features affect perceptions of the risks and rewards of criminal opportunities. Specifically, how the physical features of a residence influence a burglar's perceptions of the risks and rewards of breaking into a house. By working diligently with key stakeholders in the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, I collected data from 160 incarcerated burglars over the course of 6 months. The data comes not only in the form of subjective evaluations of target residences, but rich contextual interviews, as well as eye-tracking and location tracking within the virtual neighborhood. Aside from theoretical contributions, these results also show great applied value regarding how one can reduce their chances of burglary victimization.
I completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge in which my thesis focused on integrating individual differences alongside situational factors to better understand criminal decision-making. My thesis resulted in several publications that can be found in the publications tab.
In addition to my own research, I have initiated several collaborations. For example, I was able to lend my methodological expertise to help design experimental and data collection protocols to isolate and assess the unique effects of a game-based intervention targeting the spread of misinformation and online extremism. I remain close with the Cambridge Social Decision-making Lab.
I have always been passionate about integrating criminological theory and psychological insights, and applying such findings to the real world by working in tandem with practitioners on the ground. For example, using data collected through interviews and extensive literature reviews, I managed a project evaluating the impact of a community driven program that sought to positively influence the lives of at-risk youth. The results are still used today to obtain funding to continue to serve their community. Additionally, in the past I have conducted independent research with local probation offices to establish and implement an evidence-based risk assessment.
Feel free to contact me to discuss the research topics you’re interested in and to find out more about the work I do. I am currently available for remote guest lectures or presentations as well as collaborations. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – This season, Redskins backup quarterback Colt McCoy changed his jersey number from 16 to 12. 12 is the number he wore in college for the Texas Longhorns. He achieved such a legendary career in Austin, his number 12 jersey is now retired by The University of Texas. But more than eight years since he last took a snap for the Longhorns, McCoy is still making an impact in the Lone Star State.
According to Redskins.com, in response to the devastation from Hurricane Harvey, a storm which brought torrential rainfall throughout the Houston, Texas region, McCoy, who still has family and friends in the region, is doing his part to assist.
McCoy tells the team site he has lent his personal 16-foot skiff boat to a group of friends, one of them including former Texas football teammate Jordan Shipley, to assist in relief efforts to help evacuate families around the west side of Houston. He has also donated funds to a couple of organizations that will help purchase more boats to help canvas flooded areas, bringing supplies and transportation to those stranded by the storm.
“That’s the least I can do from here,” McCoy told the website. “It’s tough. I don’t have a family in Houston, but everybody in America knows somebody from Houston — there’s six million people there. It certainly has affected a lot of my friends and family. I’m just trying to do the things that I can from up here to help out.”
McCoy, who grew up in Tuscola, Texas, played high school football at Jim Ned before moving on to Texas. As a Longhorn, Colt went 45-and-8 in 53 career starts. His number 12 jersey was retired October 30, 2010. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A strong cold front will move through tonight. We could see a few flurries to the north with the passing of the front and then we’ll start to see the clouds break up as arctic high pressure builds over the region through Tuesday. Expect temperatures to dip into the upper teens and low 20s overnight.
Temperatures won’t warm too much on New Year’s Eve. Temperatures will be in the upper 20s to near 30. The wind will pick up out of the north later in the day. Expect breezy conditions, with wind chills in the teens and single digits. We will have to watch out for any wind chill advisories. This is the time to bring pets inside and make sure you bundle up and cover any exposed skin if you’re heading out to celebrate the New Year.
It will be even colder to start the month of January. Highs will struggle to get out of the 20s. It will be a bit breezy to start the day with single-digit wind chills. This could turn out to be the coldest day of the season.
A bit milder on Wednesday, with highs in the mid and upper 30s. We are continuing to track and area of low pressure that could bring us some snow or a wintry mix late Wednesday into Thursday. Still a little too far out to tell for sure what will happen. At this point, the best chance to see any precipitation will be along the coast.

Shipping Containers and Hurricanes
As hurricane seasons become more intense, safeguarding belongings becomes a critical concern for many. Among the options for protection, shipping containers have emerged as a viable solution. But can shipping containers truly withstand hurricanes? Let's explore this question and delve into the factors at play.
Understanding Hurricane Types: Before delving into the resilience of shipping containers, it's crucial to grasp the different categories of hurricanes based on wind speeds. Ranging from Category One to Five, these storms pose varying levels of threat, with winds exceeding 155 mph in the most severe cases.
- -Category One: Winds 74 to 95 mph.
- -Category Two: Winds 96 to 110 mph.
- -Category Three: Winds 111 to 130 mph.
- -Category Four: Winds 131 to 155 mph.
- -Category Five: Winds greater than 155 mph.
Challenges Faced During Hurricanes: During hurricanes, framed homes often succumb to catastrophic damage, unable to withstand the immense forces at play. Factors such as storm surge, power outages, and fallen trees compound the impact, raising questions about the efficacy of shipping containers as shelters.
The Resilience of Shipping Containers: Built from robust steel, shipping containers boast resilience against harsh weather conditions, including hurricanes. These units are engineered to withstand winds of up to 150 mph, making them a compelling choice for hurricane-prone regions. However, the effectiveness of a shipping container's protection hinges on proper installation and securing methods.
Securing Your Shipping Container: To maximize a shipping container's ability to withstand hurricanes, it's essential to ensure it is properly secured. Anchoring the container securely to the ground and reinforcing its structural integrity can significantly enhance its resilience against powerful winds and storm surges.
While shipping containers offer formidable protection against hurricanes, it's essential to acknowledge their limitations. Factors such as falling trees and storm surges can still pose risks to these structures. Nonetheless, with proper preparation and installation, shipping containers serve as reliable shelters during severe weather events, providing peace of mind to those in hurricane-prone areas.
Stay informed, stay compliant, and unlock the possibilities of container use! Contact us for more information:

I liken the internet to the “Wild Wild West” (is that what the www stands for?). It’s a frontier filled with opportunity and possibilities. Literally, you can do anything … ideas can come to life and can level the business playing field between large and small companies.
Invariably, we hear clients and potential clients seeking advice on how to make their website more effective. How to make it more profitable. How to have their site make the sale – increasing their customer base and ultimately their revenue.
Now, as many websites as there are on the internet, there are probably that many theories on how to be effective at marketing and selling in the digital world.
While we can go in-depth and get into a lot of technical jargon, I wanted to give you a few points to consider about your website and whether you are focusing on the right areas to make sure your website can “make the sale.”
Here are the 5 main points or purposes on what your website should be designed to address.
- Attract qualified prospects interested in your services and products. (Hint: One way is through search engine optimization or SEO)
- Create and maintain a list of those qualified prospects, building your own audience you can market and communicate with your messages and opportunities.
- Convert the prospect to a customer … meaning the prospect buys your product or service.
- Engage and create a relationship with your customer, making them a client – a repeat customer.
- Make your client an advocate for your company, services, and/or products.
Now, we can spend a lot of time on each of the above points (and we will in future posts). These 5 points crystallizes the purpose on what your website should be doing for your business.
Are you attracting a lot of prospects? Are you building a list to market your services and products? Are your prospects buying? Are your customers repeat buying? Are your clients raving about you and your services?
If your answer is no, not enough, or needs improvement contact us to discuss how we can make your website “make the sale.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
When you make a mistake, you want to apologise for it. Or, depending on where you live, apologize for it. Discover when and how to use each spelling and the meaning and origins of apologise and apologize.
Depending on where you are in the world, you will need to use either the -ise or -ize ending or suffix as the standard for all words with these endings. This also applies to apologise and apologize. For example, if you use British or Commonwealth English, you should use the -ise ending. However, when it comes to writing for periodicals or documents for international institutions, you may be advised to use -ize. American English always uses the -ize spelling.
apologise (British English) - to express repentance or regret for something
apologize (American English) - to express repentance or regret for something
Since apologise and apologize have the same meaning, they can be used in the same contexts. The difference ultimately comes down to American vs. British English.
My mom told me I had to apologise/apologize for my rudeness.
Why am I always the one to apologise/apologize?
I apologise/apologize in advance for my tardiness.
At first glance, one could also mistake the verbs apologise or apologize (uh-PAH-luh-jize) with the noun apologies. Apologies (uh-PAH-luh-jeez) means "to express remorse for a fault or offense." You would use this in instances where you have made a mistake or offended someone.
I offered apologies for my tardiness.
My apologies for this late reply.
Apologies in advance for what I am about to say.
The suffixes -ise and -ize mean “cause to become like something else” or “treat like a certain thing.” The -ize ending actually predates the -ise ending. The ending -ise did not become popular until after 1875, but it never became the standard in the United States or in international documents or periodicals. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The FSIO published on 17.11.2022 that the teleworking tolerated until December 2022 within the scope of Regulation 883/2004 for cross-border workers will be extended until the end of June 2023. Apparently, the very ambitious goal of a definitive regulation could not be achieved. Negotiations continue.
In the blog https://www.zulaufgmbh.ch/en/teleworking-in-the-eu-area-for-swiss-or-eu-citizens-guidance-note-on-telework/ I reported in detail on the content of the Guidance Note published in June 2022. It is not known to what extent the UK, no longer a member of the EU, will adhere to this Guidance Note and approve the extension in the sense of a gentleman’s agreement.
Moreover, according to consultations, the flexible application can only be used for situations with one employer in cross-border telework. As soon as the employee has several employers, it appears that the current flexible application cannot be applied.
Besides, do companies always know whether their cross-border commuters and international weekly residents have another job (for example, a caretaker job) in their country of residence?
Special provisions apply to civil servants in the Ordinance, which leads to different results. The competent compensation office determines who is a civil servant for the purposes of social security law.
In addition, it should be noted that these are only cases of application of Regulation 883/2004. As pointed out in the previous blog, this provision is not applicable to other situations.
Most social security agreements (except the provisionally applied one with the UK) in principle foresee the place of employment principle, which can lead to a division or double subordination of social security, depending on the concrete situation (social security agreement with applicability to third country nationals or only to certain nationalities).
Are the companies concerned about this? In any case, companies should be interested, because they share the risk if an insurance company concludes in a claim that the person is not insured and consequently no benefits can be claimed.
Some companies want to offer flexible forms of work such as telework in order to make them more attractive. If employees can hardly be found, employers are prepared to do more compromises than usual. Companies are well advised to recognise the risks involved and weigh them carefully. In addition to social security issues, taxes, labour law, licensing law, etc. must be included in the considerations. On closer examination, this may lead to the conclusion that employees should be ordered back to their place of work in Switzerland.
The attitude, let’s do it, because where there is no accuser, there is no judge, could inevitably become a boomerang. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As of April 30, 2023, Acadia University will drop its masking mandate. The University will continue monitoring the epidemiology of COVID-19 and its variants and will take action as health and safety authorities recommend.
Acadia University will extend its current health and safety protocols regarding COVID-19 and its variants, which began on September 1, 2022.
Masks will continue to be required in all indoor classrooms, labs, instructional spaces, and high-traffic areas like hallways where physical distancing is not possible. Mask use is welcome on campus and strongly recommended in group study areas and gathering spaces where physical distancing is challenging. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Ron Garretson was a founder of the Donald Erickson Memorial Chariot Races in Saratoga, where he ran his own teams for many years, ultimately serving on the Interstate Chariot Racing board of directors. His early ranch work took place on the family ranch at Elk Mountain, but he went on to work on ranches throughout Carbon County. He worked for Carbon County Road and Bridge Department for more than 30 years, but spent free time doing day-work and raising, training, and trading horses.
Ron was born in 1942 to Virgil and Eleanor Garretson and grew up in Elk Mountain on the Garretson family ranch, where he helped with all ranch duties. He was the youngest of five children and the only boy. He was particularly fond of the cowboy aspects of ranching, even in his youth. If fact, once when his parents were away, legend has it that he killed most of the chickens because he didn’t want to mess with them. If it wasn’t a horse or cow, it wasn’t worthy.
Ron oftentimes rode his horse to school because he enjoyed being horseback. He donned a cowboy hat and boots, and even to this day, the only time he has ever worn tennis shoes or anything other than boots, was when he played basketball in high school.
Ron continued to work for the Garretson Ranch for a few years after he graduated from high school. Ron spent most of his cowboy career in Carbon County. Early in his career, Ron broke horses for Phil Freese, a horse trader in Rawlins. He also spent some time in Cheyenne at the Polo Ranch training horses. He cowboyed for the Eureka Pool by Baggs, as well.
When he married Joyce Buckendorf in 1964, he worked for John Orton near Elk Mountain, then he had jobs with Millie Sanger near Encampment and Elmer Petersen at Walcott. In 1967, he went to work for the One Bar Eleven Ranch between Saratoga and Encampment. He was in charge of the Angus cattle herd and continued working for the ranch for the next 10 years. He and Joyce raised their two girls and a passel of city-born nephews found their way to the ranch, where Ron shared with them the cowboy way of life.
In 1977, Ron went to work for the Carbon County Road and Bridge Department and he and Joyce purchased a small place of their own, where Ron still trained, traded and raised horses. In addition, Ron continued to “day ride” for numerous local ranches, including the Nixon Ranch, Jack Creek Ranch, McIlvaines, and a host of others.
Today, at age 70, he still rides when he has an opportunity, though he prefers not to ride the green-broke colts he used to enjoy. He continues to share his passion for horses and cowboying with young men and women who want to learn the cowboy way. His philosophy, “If I can’t get there horseback, I don’t need to go.”
Community is very important to Ron. He was involved in the Search and Rescue in Encampment for many years and continues to be a member of the Lions Club. He has helped with many rodeos over the years, running the chutes, whatever was needed – in communities including Hanna and Encampment. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The prestigious Oscar awards ceremony, known for being the most significant recognition in the global film industry, will be introducing a new statue in two years. The board of the Academy has reached a decision to include an Oscar for ‘Best Casting’ for the very first time, with the award set to debut at the 98th edition of the ceremony.
This introduction of a new Oscar category is a significant event as it is the first time since 2001, when the ‘Best Animated Film’ category was added, that a new Oscar has been incorporated into the ceremony. The Academy, which has had a specialized ‘branch’ dedicated to casting directors since 2013, now boasts a membership of 160 individuals in this field.
Casting directors have a crucial role in the filmmaking process. They are typically responsible for assembling a group of actors in collaboration with the director and producer of the film. Bill Kramer and Janet Yang, the director and president of the Academy, have expressed their appreciation for the critical role of casting directors in filmmaking. They expressed their pride in finally being able to give the field of casting the recognition it thoroughly deserves.
Casting directors in Hollywood have been advocating for the introduction of an Oscar category for their field since the 1990s. In addition, there has also been ongoing discussion about the possibility of introducing a statue for the ‘Best Stunt of the Year.’
The forthcoming Oscar ceremony, which is scheduled for March 10, will not yet feature the new statuette for ‘Best Casting.’ | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
You have such power with your words and even the silences between them.
I can truly hear how beaten and overcome you’re feeling by the emotions that seem to be haunting you, and by the battle you’re waging with food. I can only imagine how unbearable it is to have to face eating in order to survive, but to have your body in such pain as a result — like there’s no way at all to win.
It sounds like you’re utterly fed up with the terrible results that come from eating. Am I understanding you right when I hear that the treatments don’t seem to be helping at all? I bet that would add a layer of discouragement and exhaustion to the pain and stress that you’re already experiencing…
Those three diagnoses are a lot to face all at once, DashingDaisy, and I can hear how completely overwhelming it is for you to have to deal with them. How are you coping right now?
Stay connected DashingDaisy; we’re here for you, even if it’s just as a place to express the agony.

It’s crazy how it can be absolutely freezing outside one day and then warm & balmy the next isn’t it? I guess that’s Spring for you. Happy day.
The past few weeks have sped by at an unusually fast pace and a lot of things have happened. Here’s a quick run-down:
Verdict: I’ve hobbled all over town and can thoroughly vouch that NYC is not crutch friendly. For example, have you ever noticed that the subway steps are slanted slightly downhill? Yeah, I didn’t notice either, until I was crawling up the steps the other day.
Good news: The sight of my aluminum appendages engendered sympathy, a personal bubble of space, and a bit of kindness from my fellow jaded New Yorkers. I suppose that since I was hobbling along slightly faster than molasses on a cold day helped facilitate that bubble of space, but on the whole, New Yorkers have been kind. (oh, and i’m sans crutches now)
Side note: I’m now the proud owner of a prescription for physical therapy and now wonder if it’s possible to get hypothermia or frost bite from sticking one’s foot into an icy cold whirlpool of water. Four to six more weeks and I’ll be as good as new.
The New Zealand Wedding
Yay: I’ve managed to wrestle a certain slideshow program into submission and have uploaded the presentation online. :) You can find the link to the New Zealand wedding pictures in the next blog post.
Finally: Yes I saved the best for last, I’ve given notice at work and will be leaving the day job in tow weeks. (No this is not an April Fool’s joke.)
You may send your felicitations or condolences to not-so-bitter [at] i-m-bitter.com.
At long last, I’ll have enough time to implement the exciting blog changes that’ve been percolating for the better part of a year. A recipe section, a free stuff page where I’ll give away free stuff, and a section where I can sell the stuff that’s not free.
Since I’ll soon be out of the steady income paying my rent and would prefer not to beg for pennies on street corners, if you hear of anyone who needs a photographer, please keep me in mind. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
We've been bombarded with the "smoking is bad for you" message since we were in elementary school. But, new research shows that, for women, the risk is even greater: We've now surpassed men when it comes to smoking-related death rates. (Um, super scary.)
It used to be that men had a five-times higher risk of dying of lung cancer than women did. But recent cancer research by the University of California, San Francisco, shows that women who smoke are now actually even more likely than men who smoke to die of lung cancer. Not only that, but female smokers are nearly 18 times more likely to die of lung cancer than women who don't have a cigarette habit.
While many of us listened to the anti-smoking ads we constantly saw as kids (and aren't dealing with a two-pack-a-day habit like a lot of people from our parents' generation), social smoking—as in having a cigarette when you're out drinking—is pretty prevalent among young women. And, not to get all preachy on you, but, yes, it still "counts" as smoking. According to the University of Montana, this sorta-sporatic habit can even lead to a full-on addiction. Not good.
So, next time you're thinking about bumming a cigarette after last call as you wait to catch a cab, you may want to reach for your pack of gum instead. It's just not worth the risk.

Bowie Roofing Contractor
You’re number one with us. It’s your roof, and it’s your home. This means that your wants and needs are our priority. We will answer all of your questions and present to you the products and repair or installation methods that best suit your needs. You need a licensed roofing contractor that will deliver results. Schedule your free roof inspection today.
The Right Price
We won’t cut corners, but that doesn’t mean that we won’t give you a fantastic price. When you hire an unlicensed Bowie roofing contractor or any other roofing company, they might cut corners to provide you a lower price. However, that arrangement can quickly lead to buckling shingles, leaks and other issues, which ends up costing you more money down the road. We abide by higher standards. As your roofing contractor, we will provide you the best price for the job. Discover how we help residents in Bowie and surrounding areas.
We are proud to be leaders in our industry. We service Bowie and surrounding areas. We are licensed, carry an A+ with The Better Business Bureau, we are committed to ongoing professional training, and we are a GAF Master Elite® Bowie roofing contractor. Only 3 percent of roofing contractors carry such a prestigious certification because of the necessity of following stringent standards.
We believe in quality. Quality saves you money in the long-run. For instance, materials like hardie board make your roof virtually impervious to damage. This helps to, directly, preserve your roof and, indirectly, the rest of your home between 20 and 30 years, which means you don’t have to replace your roof nearly as often. Inferior materials and products might appear to save you money initially, but they will end up costing you money because you will have to replace your roof sooner, you will need to do multiple repairs, elements and other factors can damage your shingles, and you risk damage to the rest of your home through leaks and other issues. Skimping on quality isn’t worth it.
We provide expert solutions for Bowie residents. We care about every step of the job. When we install a new roof or commit to any other job, we take notice of the weather and how that can affect installation, existing damage or issues, the right products and materials for the job and several other factors because we want things done correctly and to your satisfaction.
No cost and no obligation estimates!
A free roof inspection
Prices that are good for 1 year
“Same as cash” financing
A no-deposit option
Our roofing company, Renew Home Designs, will not charge you a penny until the job is done.
Beyond saving money, very few customers know that now is the time to take advantage of cash-back offers and contact a roofing company to install a new roof. Tax credits and programs may be available to you so that you can put money back into your pocket for installing a new energy-efficient roof. Contact us, as your roofing contractor, to find out your possibilities.
Avoid DIY Roofing
You need a roofing company to do repairs and install a new roof. There are many things that can be done in the home with do-it-yourself methods, but roofing isn’t one of them. Even professional roofers can fall off the roof and risk injury or fatality. Many things can cause a person to fall off a roof. For example, debris and mildew can make your roof slippery, a sudden gust of wind can throw someone’s balance off, and any sort of puncture could cause someone to trip. In addition, your roof can heat up to an excess of 150 degrees Fahrenheit during the warmer months. Allow us to safely and accurately repair or install your new roof. Stay safe and cool indoors. It’s essential to contact a licensed roofing contractor.
We’re not just a roofing contractor, but we also provide other exterior home services, such as window, door and siding replacement to Bowie residents. Call us today to be your Bowie roofing contractor! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of injury and death in the United States. Every day, thousands of people get behind the wheel to travel to work or school and run the risk of being involved in a car accident. If you’re one of those people, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Understanding how fault is determined in California and other factors that affect car crash claims can help you better understand what your next steps should be.
Almost all car accidents are caused by negligence. Negligence is a legal theory that states that if someone fails to act with reasonable care and this results in an injury to another person, they can be held liable for the damages. It’s at the core of most Sacramento Car Accident Claims, as well as other torts like slip and falls and product liability cases.
How a Crash is Defined in Law
In California, the fault of an accident is generally determined by looking at the actions of each driver and any other potential factors. During the investigation of a car crash, it’s important that all information is recorded properly. This includes identifying who was driving, how fast each driver was traveling and the weather conditions at the time of the accident.
Once this information is collected, the police department should be called to the scene of the accident to write up a report. This will be important for your claim later on. Once the police have completed their investigation, it is crucial to contact a Sacramento Car Accident Lawyer to begin building your case and filing an insurance claim.
An experienced car accident attorney can handle all the details of your case and ensure that deadlines are met and that all the losses you’ve incurred from your car crash are included in your settlement amount. They can also negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf and make sure that the insurance company is offering you a fair amount for your injuries and losses.
The first step is to seek medical attention if needed. If not, then it’s important to move your vehicle out of traffic and to a safe place. Next, exchange driver license and vehicle registration information with the other drivers. Then take photos of the accident and gather contact information from any witnesses. Finally, report the accident to the police department.
A car accident lawsuit must be started within two years of the date of the accident. If you wait any longer, the statute of limitations may expire and you’ll no longer be able to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party for your injuries.
After a successful negotiation with the insurance company, if necessary, your lawyer will prepare for trial. They will review the evidence that has been obtained and will present this to a jury in a court of law. This will give them the best chance of winning a positive outcome for you and your family. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The crypto market’s unique characteristic is volatility. It surprises many observers. Investors and traders in crypto market create a favorable environment to earn huge profits.
The presence of bulls has been evident in the crypto market over the last week. The majority of crypto assets experienced impressive value reversals. Most tokens broke their resistance and moved further north. The cumulative market capital reached the coveted $1 trillion mark.
However, the market’s trends have cooled down this week. Many analysts in crypto are now watching to find the next move. They’ve focused on the recent activity of some major stablecoins, such as Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC).
Crypto market set for upcoming volatility
According to on-chain dataThe USDT and USDC stablecoins have seen massive whale activity. These high-valued transactions suggest the potential for significant volatility in future.
Santiment, an online data provider for on-chain data noted that Whales engage in massive crypto activity beginning Monday after weekend volatility. The stablecoins USDT (and USDC) are reported to be the largest digital assets with whale transactions exceeding $100k+.
Market movements will result from greater buying power. The market is likely to experience more volatility in the near future.
In line with current market conditions and the recent rally, a more positive outcome can be expected. The speculation is that the crypto market bull run will continue following the whales’ increased digital asset buying spree.
The total market capital is $970 billion at the time this article was written. This indicates a significant increase in the last 24 hours. All stablecoin volume is $81.19 Billion, which represents 92.76% in the 24-hour cumulative volume for digital assets.
DoJ Toss USDT Investigation
The US Department of Justice (DoJ), after months of silence pushes for the investigation plans to be made on Tether USDT. This is in keeping with allegations that Tether bank fraud victims are Tether executives.
According to Bloomberg’s report, US Attorney Damian Williams in the Southern District of New York will lead the probe for DoJ.
USDT’s issuing company disclosed that they had long maintained an undivided relationship with the DoJ. It stated, however that it has not spoken to the DoJ about its senior executives since this year. The agency reported that it had launched an active investigation into Tether.
Tether further lauded Bloomberg’s report on it, noting that Tether repeatedly showed its need to be heard in the market without any understanding.

As usual, I'm about 6 months behind on all things viral. But this political science study apparently created some significant buzz. Briefly put, the researchers found that policies that reflect the interests of the people whose incomes are at the 90th percentile (the rich) are far more likely to see public policies enacted that reflect their desires than people whose incomes are at the 50th percentile (the middle class). In fact, the only times that the middle class see policies enacted that they support are when those policies are also supported by the rich. The authors suggest that these findings support the notion that the political structure of the United States is best described as one of Economic Elite Domination, rather than Electoral Majoritarianism (majority-rule). Most commentators have painted this study as proof that America is an oligarchy, not a democracy. I believe the word they are searching for is plutocracy.
The good news, which I haven't seen mentioned in any other commentary, is that the interests of the economic elites and the interests of the average citizen correlate at a remarkably high +.78. It's not like they both want the exact same policies (for example, the middle class is less enthusiastic than the elites about immigration and gay rights), but at least they are playing in the same ballpark. I wonder what the correlations are for other Western nations?
Scanning the paper, I find it interesting that while middle class interests are positively correlated with the positions held by Mass-Based interest groups (e.g., AARP, AFL-CIO, UAW) and negatively correlated with the positions of Business-Based interest groups (e.g., oil companies, defense contractors, U.S. Chamber of Commerce), those correlations are rather weak (+.12 and -.10, respectively). Even more interesting is that neither Mass-Based nor Business-Based interest group positions correlate significantly with those of the economic elites (+.01 and -.02, respectively). The economic elites apparently influenced policy independently of (not through) the Business-Based interest groups. (I wonder if this is the result of factions within the economic elite cancelling out the influence of each other's business-based interest groups?)
In an interview with Talking Points Memo, one of the authors (Martin Gilens) said something that should make people rather uneasy:
What are the three or four most crucial factors that have made the United States this way?
"Very good question. I'd say two crucial factors. One central factor is the role of money in our political system, and the overwhelming role that affluent individuals that affluent individuals and organized interests play, in campaign finance and in lobbying. And the second thing is the lack of mass organizations that represent and facilitate the voice of ordinary citizens. Part of that would be the decline of unions in the country which has been quite dramatic over the last 30 or 40 years. And part of it is the lack of a socialist or a worker's party."
Headline: Princeton professor supports establishment of National Socialist Workers Party in United States! There is a "worker's party" in France, by the way -- it's called the National Front.
Also, see the folks from Freakonomics here for a contrarian view on the influence of money in American electoral politics. The interesting puzzle is, with so much at stake, why is so LITTLE money spent on U.S. political campaigns? In 2012, according to Open Secrets, $2.6 billion was spent on the presidential campaigns and $3.7 billion was spent on the combined congressional races. That might seem like a lot, until you consider that Americans spend $40 billion a year on lawn care, $18 billion a year on credit card late fees, and $2.3 billion a year on tattoos (2011 figures). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
I had a great time at the beach and just got back today. I understand the new server held up ok until sometime yesterday – I'm working with the company (Liquid Web) to figure out if this is a workable server solution or not. If things go down, hopefully it won't take too long to resolve…
Coming next week are the Blank Label bloggers: Dave Kellett, Kris Straub, Howard Tayler and Brad Guigar. I've really enjoyed having guest bloggers on the site this summer and next week should be a lot of fun. Besides being great cartoonists these are all great guys. After that will be our last regularly scheduled guest blogger – Chris "Superosity" Crosby. I'll be shifting back out of summer vacation mode soon enough – one of the things I'd like some feedback on is about the guest bloggers we've had. Good idea, bad idea? Great for the summer or something to have all year long?
I also approved all of the new sites for the top list so you're on if you signed up last week. I haven't gotten a lot of feedback from the top list site so far so please let me know if it's been helpful, worthless, whatever. Thanks. (P.S. If you're on the top list and don't create an encyclopedia entry for yourself you're missing out on a chance to provide more information to curious, potential readers)

The young bull pictured here, while sporting nice 6x6 antlers, was no match for the huge herd bulls who dominate the breeding in Pennsylvania’s Elk Range.
This fellow apparently was feeling the mating urge quite strongly but not strong enough to challenge the big boys. During the time I observed him he kept close to the big guys harem but would quickly shy away whenever his antics drew the unwelcoming attention of the dominate bull.

I’m stumped. I really am. I’m speechless. People are so touchy. It’s jealousy. Gotta be. This idea is so huge. It’s just so God damned big. And people seem stunned that I, a Jew came up with it. Please, who else is gonna come up with an idea this brilliant? I ask you. Because this is more than just an idea. This is genius, if I may say so myself, and who’s gonna stop me? I mean, honestly, who among us has not wanted at one time or another to don the power of life and death, slip on the absolute feeling of superiority, and wear the fabulous uniform of a Nazi. Everybody in their dark secret heart wants to be a Nazi. That’s why I came up with NaziLand. To embrace the Nazi within. And the thing that people can’t seem to understand, is that it’s not real. That wouldn’t be the smell of real Jews coming from the ovens. The gold fillings wouldn’t be yanked from real Jews. The sex slaves wouldn’t be real. They’d all be actors. Like at a Renaissance Fayre, or Disneyland. It’s just good clean fun for the whole family. For a nominal fee you get to put on the uniform, the swastica, those big black boots, and strut around like you’re a member of the Master Race. Have someone to blame for all your problems. There’d be the Oven Ride, the Hall of Scientific Experiments, the Blitzkrieg Rollercoaster. I honestly believe if everyone came to NaziLand for a day, it would ease world tension and bring about a lasting peace among all nations. Instead of harboring wicked fantasies of domination and genocide, which let’s face it, all of us do, people could act these feelings out, and through this cathartic release, build a world where love can flourish, and hatred find appropriate release. I’m telling you, this kind of investment comes along once in a lifetime. You’ll kick yourself later if you pass up the opportunity to get in on the ground floor. Sieg Heil, and Mazeltov, baby! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I pulled up my pea plants today. There were a very few flat pods and even some little flowers, but they were basically done. It’s supposed to get above 90 this weekend, so I didn’t think there was any point in leaving them in the ground. And then I noticed that my yellow cauliflower was also ready. I bought three colors of cauliflower at the nursery last fall; the purple bolted almost immediately, at the same time having its leaves eaten by snails. Very sad. The chartreuse formed some small heads by last week, but the orange heads today were very beautiful.
That’s the biggest one, next to some five pounds of peas and a few favas. After spraying the heads with as high pressure as my sink sprayer could muster, to get rid of the aphids, I roasted all of the cauliflower to use later for pasta and salads. The peas and favas, I’ll cook with lettuce.
And then I knuckled down and started the apple pie. I got my lard out from the fridge.
Lard is esteemed in pie crusts because of its “crystalline” structure. I should clarify that (sorry) and say that leaf lard, which is the fat found over the kidneys, is esteemed for pie crusts for this reason. My lard is a mongrel mix of all the pieces of fat I got back from the butcher (although it must have contained at least some leaf lard; I did get half a pig.) It’s saturated, all right, but you couldn’t call it “crystalline.” No matter. I added a couple tablespoons of butter for flavor, about 2/3 cup of lard (or thereabouts; I eyeballed it) and two cups of flour. I should have added some salt, but I forgot. Then I processed it until the fat was well cut into the flour, and added water until I was happy with the consistency.
Now, it’s time for a digression about pie crusts. God knows there are plenty of recipes that make one feel inadequate, but pie crust recipes are the ones that have always done it for me. I can go all Freudian and trace it to the time that I volunteered to make the pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, back when I was about 11. My wonderful mom is not a baker, but we gamely tried to patch my sad dough together, until my aunt sensed our distress, and, with seemingly 2 or 3 strokes of her wrists, put a pie crust together by hand and saved the day. I used to take to heart the admonitions in every recipe to use the absolute minimum amount of water and the dire warnings never to overwork the dough.
I’m so over that now. Anyway, this pie crust will be fine. I put it into the fridge to chill for a while, and tackled the apples. I am the proud owner of one o’they Yanqui apple peeling contraptions, and I heart it very much.
With a turn of the crank, it peels, cores and slices an apple into a cool spiral.
I had what is technically known as a buttload of apples, so I got an equivalent amount of apple slices,
to which I added lemon juice, grated lemon zest, a cup of sugar and some instant tapioca.
But what was left? All the peels and cores.
I have trouble throwing things like this away, without extracting some more goodness from them. So I added some water and boiled these leavings for about 45 minutes, then strained the resulting thick liquid. Apples are chock-full of pectin (in fact, the pectin that you buy in the store is made from apples) so it’s easy to make jelly from this juice. I have already made a batch of apple jelly this spring, but I’m thinking of making some wine jelly. It’s only about 2 cups of juice; I’ve frozen it until I decide what to do.
And the pie? It’s assembled, but waiting in the fridge. I’m planning to bake it on Sunday; I’ll photograph it when it’s done. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
SBM Bank Kenya Ltd has taken legal action against Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Ali Joho in an effort to recover Sh54.5 million in loan arrears linked to a Sh40 million Islamic banking loan issued by Chase Bank in 2014.
The loan was intended to finance the purchase of an apartment at Tamarind Village in Nyali, Mombasa.
Court documents filed on November 6 at the Mombasa High Court reveal that Joho repaid only Sh20.25 million of the loan between 2014 and 2021, despite repeated reminders from the bank.
Further, the bank alleges that Joho failed to provide the original title deed for the property and did not sign the charge document, both critical requirements for securing the loan. These omissions have prevented the bank from exercising its statutory power of sale to recover the outstanding amount.
SBM Bank Kenya, which acquired a 75 percent stake in Chase Bank nearly six years ago, stated that the loan matured on January 3, 2024, and continues to attract a default interest rate of 20 percent. The bank has now turned to the courts as a last resort for loan recovery.
Notably, the loan was issued under Islamic banking principles, a sector that has seen significant growth since Gulf African Bank became Kenya’s first fully-fledged Islamic bank in 2007. The sector now includes two Islamic banks and several conventional banks offering Shari’ah-compliant products through specialized “Islamic windows.”
Islamic banking principles prohibit the charging or paying of interest (riba), allowing only interest-free loans known as qard-el-hassan or “good loans.”
Instead of interest, Islamic banks focus on profit and loss sharing, using tools like mudarabah, a partnership where one party provides capital and the other manages investments, with profits shared according to a pre-agreed ratio.
Additionally, Islamic banks avoid activities involving oppression (Dhulm), uncertainty (Gharar), speculation (Qimar), or the production of goods and services considered Haram (forbidden under Islamic law).
Islamic banking, guided by ethical values, emphasizes corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, aligning financial practices with broader societal well-being. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Well last night was a surprise.
The Eagles looked awful and the Cowboys looked phenomenal (albeit a bit sloppy on penalties) in their game last night, a Cowboys blowout that gave them their first playoff win since 1996. I don’t particularly like seeing the streak broken, but all good things must come to an end I suppose. If they keep up that level of play, then Minnesota had better watch out next week, because they’ll be in for a very tough fight. The Cowboys defense has been their strong side all year, but last night the offense stepped up to match the pace and blew right past Philly, which looked rather lethargic. I guess I was wrong about them being off-kilter. Biggest downside? Expect to hear lots of Tony Romo waxing poetic about his childhood idol, Brett Favre, this week. Ugh.
The Jets beating the Bengals was unexpected, but I really don’t think it will matter. Sanchez looked great, especially on paper, but I didn’t see anything that made me think they’ll stand much of a chance next week – unless overconfidence bites San Diego. It’s always a concern in the playoffs.
And of course, the Kurt Warner retirement rumors are circling, with ESPN being the latest to report this season is his last. I hope he sticks it out for one more year, regardless of what happens here, but I can respect that he’s considering it. Given his age, health issues, and career so far it’s not like he’s got any big reasons to stay beyond just loving the game. and I don’t want to see him turn into another Brett Favre. The game today will rely on our defense, I still think, and I still think we have a good shot at a victory if we play well (despite what everyone at work seems to think).
In the meantime, I’m THOROUGHLY enjoying seeing what looks like it will be an emphatic smackdown of New England by Baltimore. Go birds! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Tadej Pogacar is set to go all out for the Giro-Tour double in 2024. This was confirmed by UAE Team Emirates' sports director Joxean Fernandez Matxin to IDLProCycling.com and other media outlets. The Slovenian, who finished second in the recent editions of the Tour de France, seemed to be leaning towards focusing entirely on the French grand tour until Sunday's confirmation that he would definitely be making his debut in the Giro. Now, it's also clear that the Tour will once again be a top priority. Supporting him will be an exceptionally strong team heading to France.
In the Tour de France, Pogacar will be backed by a formidable group of top riders. Adam Yates, for instance, will be one of his key lieutenants in the pursuit of another yellow jersey. The Brit himself finished third in the latest edition. Joining them will be Portuguese João Almeida, the third-place finisher in the last Giro, and Spanish talent Juan Ayuso, who has already made it to the podium in his home tour. The lineup is rounded out by strong climbers Marc Soler and Pavel Sivakov, Belgian Tim Wellens, and German road captain Nils Politt.
UAE in 2024 Tour with strongest selection ever? Giro team members also announced
On paper, the UAE Team lineup could be one of the strongest Tour de France squads in history, featuring at least four riders who could lead other teams in pursuit of a podium finish in a grand tour. Following the departure of Primoz Roglic, the retirement of Nathan Van Hooydonck, and Wout van Aert's participation in the Giro, the Emirates-based team seems to be focusing on assembling the strongest possible Tour team to dethrone Jumbo-Visma in 2024.
But first, there's the Giro. In this race, Pogacar will make his debut and naturally appear as the top favorite. His teammates for this event were also mentioned by Matxin. In Italy, the Slovenian will be supported by Jay Vine, Rafal Majka, and Felix Grossschartner as climbers. Additionally, Mikkel Bjerg, Nelson Oliveira, Benjamin Novak, and Sebastian Molano will assist Pogacar on flat stages, with Molano also taking part in sprints. So, it’s a formidable team as well... | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Annie and Hannah have not seen each other in the six years since they
left University. As Annie embarks on a train trip to reunite with her old
friend, she is flooded with memories of their rocky introduction in the
mid-80's: a shy, introverted teenager who continuously breaks out in a nervous
rash, she moves in with Hannah, a bright fellow student who is manic, hilariously
funny, and occasionally cruel. It is apparent from the outset that both
young women are bound to benefit from the budding friendship and their contrasting
personalities, with Annie toughening up and learning to deal with life's
hard knocks and Hannah learning to hold her tongue and become more compassionate.
Back to the present, Annie departs the train to meet Hannah, and not without
a bit of apprehension. Looking around the station for her old friend, Annie
is startled, then delighted to see a subdued, sophisticated, thirty-year
old version of Hannah approaching her. Thus begins their reunion weekend
which will stir up many old memories and inspire them to re-evaluate not
just their friendship, but their lives.
CAREER GIRLS, Mike Leigh's latest film, is a funny and poignant story of
friendship, youth, love and memories, starring Katrin Cartlidge (NAKED,
BREAKING THE WAVES) and newcomer Lynda Steadman. Filmed with Leigh's by-now
patented blend of verbal, visual and behavioral comedy, CAREER GIRLS is
set in London over a weekend, and follows Hannah (Cartlidge) and Annie (Steadman),
as they catch up and reflect on the early days of their friendship. We see
flashbacks of their lives in the mid-80s which is full of the usual mischief,
jealousies and heartbreak that comes with youth. It is through these memories,
and a few chance encounters over the weekend with both old and new acquaintances,
that we come to see how they've changed, yet find that their close bond
remains, and even deepens.
As with all of Mike Leigh's films, CAREER GIRLS features extraordinary acting,
with Katrin Cartlidge giving a star-making comedic performance and Lynda
Steadman, in her feature film debut, proving herself to be another major
Leigh discovery, in the tradition of, among others, David Thewlis and Cartlidge
in NAKED, and Brenda Blethyn and Marianne Jean-Baptiste in SECRETS &
LIES. Also outstanding are three actors who play the men they encounter
earlier in their lives and over the reunion weekend, including Mark Benton
as their sad, awkward friend; Joe Tucker as an old acquaintance who once
broke both their hearts; and, in a hilarious turn, Andy Serkis as an obnoxious
yuppie, attempting to unload his apartment -- and himself - on the friends.
CAREER GIRLS features an original score by Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Tony
Remy in the contemporary scenes and songs by The Cure in the 80s' flashbacks.
Similarly, Leigh uses separate shooting styles for the past and present
sequences, contrasting the women as they are today with how they remember
their younger selves. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Wye winds its way slowly from Kerne Bridge at Goodrich covering a lot of ground but very little distance. At Symonds Yat the river turns North and makes a very wide loop through Huntsham before turning South again and coming back almost to the point where it started. This is another pretty stretch of the river Wye but with very little access for fishing (except from a boat) because it passes through a deep gorge.

What ideas are you wrestling with this week? January 26, 2023
I don't know why I feel the need to confess. It is a little cathartic.
Spelling, grammar, reading, and writing that make up the English curriculum in the US were never my forte. In fact, I was in Special Ed and rode the short bus until I was a junior in high school. I don't remember ever taking a writing class in primary school. Now, look at me. I'm in a graduate-level writing seminar with nine MFA students.
This is the output of a little python script I wrote a few weeks ago. It makes my tending this thread easy.
What I'm Working On
12 New Zettel in the Last 7 Days.
Titles and one-sentence summary/meaning of atomic zettel. These are the ideas I'm currently wrestling with. They represent a 7-day window of new notes.
This is generated with nothing held back. If any of this interests you, please start a thread here, DM me. If you have questions about form or content, I'm happy to discuss anything on this list.
My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In the Bois de Boulogne, Nature reasserts Itself
Now we've talked about the sporty aspect of the Bois de Boulogne, we've decided to devote a couple of lines to the natural beauty of this place. Spread over 845 hectares, the Nature reasserts itself and invites everybody for a magic stroll in the parc de Bagatelle, the Mare Saint-James, or in the bird reserve.

Parc de Bagatelle
You can't miss the Parc de Bagatelle and its bridges, rocks, caves and artificial waterfalls, so romantic! Ot to mention the majestic trees which lives there for centuries as the Monkey-puzzle Tree (140 years old) and the Weeping Beech Tree (150 years old). Its leaves caress slowly the Bassin des Nymphéas where a gorgeous pagoda dating from 19th century, stands.

Lakes, Streams and Gardens
The Bois de Boulogne houses a lot of lakes and streams. Of course the Lac Inférieur, the largest of the wood, comes immediately to mind, followed by the prestigious Grande Cascade, and the Mare Saint-James, animals use its two island a refuge. A little bit further, you'll find the Ruisseau Longchamp, which cross the Jardin Pré-Catelan. Right after, you could walk in the Jardin Shakespeare, composed of little gardens inspired by his famous plays.

A lot of rare varieties are welcomed n this reserve as the Common Whitethroat, Eurasian Bullfinch. Visitors can admire them from the two observatories. The glasshouse d'Auteuil has been settled in the heart of a meadow, with a lovely pond. The Bois de Boulogne is a true country standing at the doorstep of a megalopolis where pollution is ever-present! A true breath of fresh air!

It’s Victoria Day in Canada, which means a long weekend which always screws up my routines for remembering to update. Could I load a bunch of posts in advance and not have to worry about that? Probably. Am I going to? Probably not. Much like how watching the NHL playoffs has made me furiously angry, but will I keep watching the Oilers next season? Yes. Will I do so while wallowing in self-loathing? Probably. If you want to check out the product of the last time I was in this headspace, go read the Hockeypocalypse books. People aware of the origins of the series will not be shocked to learn I’ve been writing a new volume.
Sebastian is Employee of the Week, and will be one of the first to have access to Hell, Inc. Volume 5: Overtime later this week, as I’m in the process of finishing that up. You can get that AND access to over a thousand pages of other comics, including the aforementioned Hockeypocalypse series, for as little as $1 a month on Patreon and ALSO help support me, the creator of said comics, because apparently humans need money to live.
You can also vote for Hell, Inc. on Top Webcomics, which brings in more new readers than any other avenue thus far. Click the banner below to vote daily!

Reading is an important activity which stimulates the mind and soothes the inner self. It has the power to transport us to hidden worlds, fascinating spaces and mysterious realms. Reading offers insights into the minds and hearts of others, proving fresh perspectives, inspiring ideas and soothing relief. This is why we read. We read to learn, to experience, to grow, to break free and simply to rest within the pages.
Is what we read important? Yes of course it is. Just as overindulging in junk food plays havoc with our digestive system, overindulging in ‘junk’ reading material plays havoc with our mind. Now here I do need to be a little more specific. When I say ‘junk’, I am not necessarily referring to poorly written pieces or trashy novels; rather I am referring to texts which wallow in hopelessness, tragedy and misfortune. The front page of a newspaper is often a good example. Again I need to qualify my ideas. Certainly I am not talking about all news papers, all the time. In fact I believe reading the paper is a great way to keep in touch with the local community and the wider world. Personally I love the tangible quality of newspapers. They are part of my weekend morning ritual. I eat breakfast, read the paper and contemplate life. The key is to read the articles critically and balance them with other material that offers ‘more’. So to return to the ‘junk food’ analogy, it is simply a matter of balancing your diet to promote health habits.
This is why I often suggest to my students to read the weekend paper. Specifically I ask them to read the ‘News Review’ section of the Sydney Morning Herald. Many of the articles in this section of the paper have the potential to act as stimulus material for the mind – particularly when you don’t agree with the stand the journalist has taken! Importantly the articles in this section generally offer examples of critical analysis or reflective writing. Therefore they offer a style of writing which can be useful for students struggling to produce written responses that demonstrate their own opinion, rather than simply regurgitating information gleaned from google.
I guess this is probably also a good time to remind you how important breakfast is. Eating breakfast provides ‘fuel’ for your body and offers the energy you need to start the day from a position of strength. Similarly, committing to a morning ritual which involves reading stimulating material has the potential to establish a powerful framework for the rest of your day. Therefore, throughout the working week, I like to read development style texts (be they personal or professional) or books about inspirational people and events. I find reading material that is positive, instructional and inspiring establishes a constructive mindset which energises my day and encourages creativity.

Ozone is very good at oxidizing bacteria, viruses, mold and other harmful organic substances existing in water and air by reacting with them.
The strong anti-bacterial effect of ozone is more and more expanding its application, and therefore many industries employ mass output ozone generation technology.
Environmental remediation by industrial application of ozone is a technology that uses germicidal ozone gases to obtain clean air and water and to improve the environment by disinfecting air, water, walls, hand tools, etc. contaminated with bacteria, viruses, organic and inorganic substances.
Many problems arise with industrial application of mass output ozone generators including stability of power supply and generator tube, enhancement of ozone generation efficiency, design of ozone gas mixers for energy efficiency enhancement and rational use of produced ozone, etc.
Won Chol Hyok, a researcher at the Faculty of Physical Engineering, has finally succeeded in making a mass output ozone generator with domestic materials by solving these problems through a lot of efforts.
First, he newly designed a discharge tube of the ozone generator. He chose ozone generation by dielectric barrier discharge and used quartz glass and alumina ceramic as dielectric material. The generator tube was designed to be cooled by water.
Next, power supply and control system were newly designed. He designed a new overvoltage absorption circuit to prevent device breakdown due to back EMF that could occur with increasing power of the ozone generator and made an experimental verification of its characteristics. In order to realize an intelligent control over the system, he used an embedded chip (STM32F series) for a control over power supplies, and adopted a new kind of control algorithm.
Finally, he designed a new type of ozone mixer. The ozone mixer, which is made up of venturi, mixing tank, pump and inlet-outlet pipelines, dissolves ozone into water.
The generator he manufactured can be applied to various fields such as drinking water disinfection, wastewater disinfection, aquaculture, poultry farming and so on.

Weve all read a handicapper or athletics gambler boast in their capacity to win at a sixty% or improved clip. Could it be probable to gain at that proportion over a brief stretch of time? Definitely. If an individual is ready to take care of that winning proportion around the program of a long time love 사설사이트 your riches, and I wish you all the luck on the planet. Now the truth. Its not heading to happen – forget about it, sixty% is sort of extremely hard around any significant amount of time. 55%, it's possible, but anybody who promises a sixty% acquire amount in excess of various sports and seasons is simply lying or They are really betting an extremely smaller range of online games. Dont hand over but nevertheless. Underneath I will show that profitable fifty four out of every one hundred online games (fifty four%) can switch a nice gain.
The instance below will analyze the attainable income from different quantities a games wagered and unique profitable percentages of those video games. For your sake of argument
someone could claim that they've got hit sixty% winners betting on athletics the earlier a few many years, one example is. But whenever they only guess 10 games a yr thirty complete around the three year span they usually win 18 of All those, I assume they've the appropriate to assert they will handicap athletics at a sixty% earn amount. Technically suitable, but an incredibly weak declare.
Wager size $a hundred and ten
Betting $a hundred and ten to earn $100
sixty% profitable proportion in excess of 30 games
18 winners = $1800
12 losers = $1320
Earnings = $480
For somebody who claims to choose 60% winners in the last a few yrs, and it is betting approximately $a hundred a activity a $480 profit isn't going to seem all that impressive. A lot for That spectacular 60% profitable percentage.
Let us now take a look at a different instance. A guy statements that he has strike a conservative 54% of his games over the past three yrs (52.38% will be the break even position). Nevertheless, above the class of that point he bets about three video games per day on all key sports activities. His total video games wager will be 3285 in excess of that point span. Allows examine his figures utilizing the exact bet sizing since the so called sixty% bettor.
54% winning percentage more than 3285 online games
1774 winners = $177400
1511 losers = $166210
Earnings = $11,one hundred ninety
You can see from these easy examples that it can be crucial to not merely take a look at profitable percentages, but also the quantity of games wagered and also the bet dimensions to realistically review probable gains. Be sure to consider this under consideration when analyzing your bets, or if you hear outrageous statements of 60% or superior winning proportion more than a lengthy time frame.
Very good luck with the wagers, and I would like you the most effective of luck this yr! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Widgets are the primary elements for creating user interfaces in Qt. Widgets can display data and status information, receive user input, and provide a container for other widgets that should be grouped together. A widget that is not embedded in a parent widget is called a window.
The QWidget class provides the basic capability to render to the screen and to handle user input events. All UI elements that Qt provides are either subclasses of QWidget or are used in connection with a QWidget subclass. To create custom widgets, subclass QWidget or a suitable subclass and reimplement the virtual event handlers.
Styles draw on behalf of widgets and encapsulate the look and feel of a GUI. Qt's built-in widgets use the QStyle class to perform nearly all of their drawing, ensuring that they look exactly like the equivalent native widgets.
Layouts are an elegant and flexible way to automatically arrange child widgets within their container. Each widget reports its size requirements to the layout through the sizeHint and sizePolicy properties, and the layout distributes the available space accordingly.
Qt Widgets Designer is a powerful tool for interactively creating and arranging widgets in layouts.
The model/view architecture provides classes that manage the way data is presented to the user. Data-driven applications which use lists and tables are structured to separate the data and view using models, views, and delegates.
The Graphics View Framework is for managing and interacting with a large number of custom-made 2D graphical items, and a view widget for visualizing the items, with support for zooming and rotation.
Using the Module
Building with CMake
Use the find_package()
command to locate the needed module component in the Qt6

The team's overall batting was great and timely hits from Daniel Reinoso and Peter Risberg allowed the Shields to score 5 runs in the third inning. The Moss defense and Joel Dietrich's superb pitching held the Bears to only 6 runs for the game. The game ended 9-6 with Moss on top.

Public organization „Union of Disabled Social Enterprises“ is implementing the project „Improving competitiveness for business of disabled people“ together with partners from Latvia, in accordance with the Latvian-Lithuanian cross-border cooperation program in 2007-2013.
The main goal of this project is to enhance the competitiveness among social enterprises of disabled in the project area (the part of Lithuania and Latvia), which would result in a greater number of employed persons with disabilities. Target groups are social enterprises of disabled, persons with disabilities, governmental institutions, non-governmental organizations. The project will implement activities in order to investigate the situation of the disabled in Lithuania, the causes of unemployment, to develop proposals for greater integration of disabled persons in the labor market; as well as to explore and identify the economic sector, where persons according to the nature of their disabilities would have more opportunities to get a job. We will seek to change employers` attitudes towards disabled people by promoting the employment opportunities for disabled people, to increase motivation of disabled people, to promote cooperation between social partners, provide relevant and useful examples of people with disabilities to the public and intensify the recruitment of persons with disabilities in other possible ways.
In 2010 there were about 269,034 persons with various disabilities in Lithuania. 29% (79,650) of them were retirement age people with disabilities, 6% (16,002) were children, only 16% (44,034) persons with disabilities were working from 65% (173,381) of working age people, 49% (129,347) people with disabilities did not work anywhere. Currently, Lithuania has 90 social enterprises and more than 50% of the workforce consists of people with disabilities. The vast majority of social enterprises of disabled are located in the biggest cities of Lithuania, which is mostly populated by people with disabilities. Unfortunately, there are very few social enterprises of disabled and a large number of unemployed persons with disabilities in smaller cities.
The planned measures, which will be developed during the project:
- Website with database of disabled persons` CV `s.
- VISTA study - the collection of statistics, analysis and screening of prospects about people with disabilities, their employment and companies` potential to employ people with disabilities and presentations of possible means which could help to employ people with disabilities.
- A Catalogue „Good Practise Examples of Disabled People Work“ .
- A practical guide for organizations about procurement conditions and the possibilities to buy from social enterprises of disabled (PPS methodology).
- Call center. The main goal is to mediate in the recruitment of people with disabilities, communicating directly with potential employers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

This post may come as a shock to some and maybe not so much a shock to others. I don’t know any other way to say it other than to just say it, so here it is. As of the end of this year, 2012, I will be closing Rebekah Wright Photography. I WILL still be shooting things that I have already scheduled, but I will not be taking on any new clients or new bookings from here on out.
It makes me sad to type this, but it’s also good in it’s own way. You see, I have decided to go a different route. Many of you may know that photography isn’t my only job. I have been working at a screen printing shop here in Versailles for the past 4 years. I also worked there during high school and some summers during college. My bosses had decided to retire and after a lot of consideration my dad and I decided to buy the business. So, as of May 1, I have been running our new screen printing business, Wright Printing and Promotional Advertising.
I still love to shoot, and will probably continue as a hobby, but after this year, my days of being booked every weekend for a wedding or a shoot are going to be ending. I have loved getting to know all my clients and some have become great friends. I will gladly refer people to my second shooters if they are in need of a photographer.
So, from now on, I’ll be doing design and running the new business. Feel free to give me a call or an email if you need any tshirts, printing or promotional products! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Being a social organization doesn’t mean you need to radically alter the way you do business.
When telephones, fax machines and printers became mainstream, the position of receptionist became an important part of most organizations. Blogs, tweets, mentions and hashtags are the next evolution in technology and the person who manages all of these is a Community Manager - now just as important a role in your organization.
Community Managers in an organization are just as vital to building first impressions and managing your customer base and representing your brand.
Receptionists were trained to touch base with their customers in a variety of ways. With more customers moving to social media as a primary way of communicating with your organization, your social media and brand reputation rely on the capability of your Community Manager.
Just as your organization has customer service policies to manage interactions between employees and customers, an effective social media policy is essential to ensure all employees understand your policies on social communications. These days, staff and customers are more connected than ever. Start building your social presence today - your customers will appreciate it! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

According to my own gallop poll . . . made while galloping through the studios . . . Hollywood life begins at four (or under) instead of forty.
What with the hits being made by children in pictures . . . it's getting to where hags of 16 and 18 haven't a chance at all.
Take Baby Sandy . . . or Baby Quintanilla of "Forty Little Mothers" . . . or little Richard Nichols, who kept Bette Davis and Charles Boyer on their acting toes in "All This and Heaven Too."
Still better . . . take Oklahoma children out here. Joan Carroll, of Bartlesville, who's starring in "Laddie" at RKO studios. Danny Mummert, son of Mrs. Winifred Mummert, of Oklahoma City, who recently signed a contract with Columbia studios because of his hits as Alvin in the Blondie series there. Or Mary Ruth Kizziar, of Altus, baby wonder pianist, who just finished a role in "There's Magic in Music" at Paramount.
But take especially . . . lovely little Darla Hood of Leedy, Okla., Spanky's leading lady in "Our Gang" comedies at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios.
Darla is a Hollywood veteran at the age of eight. It all started five years ago when she accompanied her Oklahoma dancing instructor, Kathryn Duffy, to New York for the summer. A talent scout spotted her and she was whisked to Hollywood where she toddled into a fat part in "Our Gang" comedies then at Hal Roach studio.
According to her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Hood, Darla's prime ambition is to be another Jeanette MacDonald, and she is a big film fan of Spencer Tracy, Bette Davis, and Hedy Lamarr.
When she isn't working she plays 'at' golf or goes ice-skating with Spanky or Alfalfa. But when she really goes stepping she picks a better-looking guy. Her big moment was when she stepped from the car with Dickie Jones at the world premiere of 'Pinocchio' some time back.
Visiting the set of her latest film recently, I found her queening it over the gang, as usual. While the grips adjusted lights for the next shot, the beautiful little brunette and her pals were holding an impromptu art exhibit with some of their own drawings. Which to me could easily have passed for the map of Europe or the latest in surrealism.
The set was a barn converted into a night club by the gang for their comedy, "Waldo's Last Stand."
Mrs. Hood explained that the gang was having a floor show to sell lemonade and that they were having trouble with their one customer, Alfalfa, who had neither money nor the inclination for the drink.
In this film, Darla makes good use of her childish blues voice, doing the "Let's Dance" number from "Two Girls on Broadway."
Off set, at this particular moment, Darla was finding it very hard to choose between the masterpieces of art confronting her. A beautiful paper badge was the prize and every gang member coveted it. To my own amazement, it went to me for a page of what looked like a drawing to her, but was actually a jittery bunch of old notes.
One can't keep from admiring, with a sense of bewilderment, these prodigies who bring home the Hollywood bacon at the same age that you were bringing home paper dolls. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Letter from the Owner – Joan Wurst
Before Everwind’s winter series starts there is an
issue I need to address. It is an issue that is extremely important for all
involved and all need to be aware of it so please share this information
with others. It pertains to the restrooms and the use of them.
I have been holding events at this arena for over 35
years. There were many years when I had a different event each weekend of
the month, year around. During all of those years the restrooms have been
used without ever having an incident with either of them. I’ve held clinics
and week-long camps. Perhaps on a few occasions a toilet had to be plunged
to eliminate a clog – nothing more.
In the past year and especially the last months of the
last winter series, the restrooms have been abused. There is no other term
for it. There were repeated times the toilets in the ladies’ room were
plugged beyond my ability to fix. The mess that was left in them for me to
clean was disgusting.
When the last barrel race of the current season was
over, there was not a toilet in the indoor arena functional! I spent a lot
of time over a couple of weeks and finally got one of the toilets in the
ladies’ room opened up and working. I could not get any other toilets
useable. I had to turn to outside help. Do I have to start charging a rest
The men’s room toilet had to be taken off it’s base and
searched for the cause of its malfunction. It was discovered that a toilet
paper cardboard holder had been flushed down the toilet and completely
jammed it up! Also in the men’s room, someone was inside the shower I had
cleaned and had torn the curtain about 1/3 of the way down. On top of that,
someone put some serious pressure on the water connection on the urinal and
broke it off! That is unusable until I can get that fixed. This sounds
like vandalism to me!
To say this is distressing would be an understatement.
It says nothing good for the people using these privileges. Either adults
have no respect for me and my property or adults are letting their children
run wild and are unaware of the damage they are doing. Either way, it is a
situation that cannot continue.
I have no choice but to do something about this
problem. I cannot continue to deal with it and I shouldn’t have to.
I implore all visitors to be aware of this problem and
do their part to eliminate it. If you have children, please be aware of
where they are and what they are doing. (We have asked this before, but I’m
not sure anyone paid attention to it.) I want everyone to be aware of the
fact that if this problem begins with this series, I will have to remove the
privilege of the bathrooms. There will no longer be any such facilities
Each person must do their part to ensure the continued
use of this convenience. I hope you can appreciate the urgency of this | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
