OBN Digital Webinar: Maximising Your Assets through IP and Regulatory Strategy
During this session, our hosts will share their expert insight on the opportunities available to companies who are seeking ways to maximise their product's assets during early development.
The session will provide a comprehensive strategic focus on up-to-date regulatory and IP matters including;
1) Regulatory Strategy
- Engaging with regulators early in development to enhance probability of regulatory success
- Incentives offering short term financial gains and long term impact e.g. orphan drug designation; EMA's PRIME scheme and UK's Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP including the Innovation Passport) for priority medicines; the UK's Early Access to Medicines Scheme (EAMS) including the Promising Innovative Medicine (PIM) designation.
2) Intellectual Property
- An introduction to the supplementary protection certificate system for extending patent protection for pharmaceutical inventions
- Tips to make sure your portfolio is in good shape for securing SPCs. Regulatory approval is a lengthy process and often, by the time a pharmaceutical product is approved, the patent which covers it will be well into its 20-year term. Will it be possible to extend your patent, when the time comes? Is your portfolio SPC-ready? There are a number of things that can be done whilst your patent portfolio is at an early stage that can maximise your chances of securing an SPC. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Choosing the right dog for your home can be a difficult decision, especially if you’re making the choice for the first time. There are a multitude of breeds in existence, with different needs, habits and quirks. Personalities wildly vary too, and there’s often no correlation between physical size and the size of the dog’s personality. So just because you’ve chosen a miniature pug doesn’t mean you’re getting a mild-mannered companion!
Every dog is ultimately different, but breeds do have common characteristics that reappear time and time again. So without further preamble, let’s dive into the different scenarios and pinpoint the breeds that could work best.
The apartment dweller
You’d think that big dogs would be ill-suited to apartments while smaller dogs would fare better in a confined space. But it doesn’t always work like that. In fact, temperament plays a bigger role in the equation. The medium-sized Curly-Coated Retriever, for instance, is fairly low on energy and quite content to enjoy downtime on its own. It can grow between 60-95 pounds, so if that’s too large, consider the Boston Terrier. With its distinctive black and white coat, the Terrier weighs no more than 25 pounds and comes with very low exercise requirements. It’s also easy to keep groomed, making it ideal for those who don’t have a lot of time to spare. But in the end, dogs are social creatures, so don’t deprive them of your presence for too long.
The family friend
Best friend to all your pets and a lovable member of the tribe, this is a dog that never leaves your side and shows affection come rain or shine. Looking for something fairly small? You can’t go wrong with the English Cocker Spaniel, which originated in England but has been a staple of American life for years. In fact, look no further than messers Truman and Nixon, two former presidents who both had Cocker Spaniels of their own.
Or how about a Golden Retriever? It’s another American staple and one of the most popular breeds of all. An absolute star with children, Golden Retrievers are as good as gold throughout their lifetimes and highly intelligent animals to boot. But remember to give them plenty of exercise, as they need to direct their energy towards play.
The country retreat
Got space to roam somewhere out of the city? An American Foxhound will benefit from the real estate. These companionable dogs get along well with their furry friends and love exercise. They’re not suited to the city, so keep that in mind. Or you might opt for the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, often referred to as a “toller”, which thrives on exercise and is a dab hand at hunting too. This medium-sized breed has a lifespan of 10-14 years and is easy to train with a never-ending thirst for staying active.
Dogs to avoid around children
If you’re raising a young family, steer clear of the Rottweiler. Though it makes an excellent guard dog, the breed can be unpredictable and at times aggressive, especially if not properly trained. The Weimaraner is another inelegant choice. With energy in spades, this breed is bred to hunt day and night and has a demanding exercise routine that will clash with any family. If you’re inexperienced owner, steer clear especially.
Dogs on a budget
Not got a lot of money to spare? Want to keep food and grooming bills to a minimum? The Jack Russell is a great low-maintenance option that won’t eat you out of house and home. The Yorkshire Terrier – ‘Yorkie’ – is another good bet and a tiny addition to any home. Just keep in mind that what it doesn’t require in money, it requires in time and attention. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

It is well understood that teams are essential and common in many aspects of life, both work and leisure. Due to the importance of teams, much research attention has focused on how to improve team processes and outcomes. Of particular interest are the cognitive aspects of teamwork including team mental models (TMMs). Among many other benefits, TMMs involve team members forming a compatible understanding of the task and team in order to more efficiently make decisions. This understanding is sometimes classified using four TMM domains: equipment (e.g., operating procedures), task (e.g., strategies), team interactions (e.g., interdependencies) and teammates (e.g., tendencies). Of particular interest to this dissertation is accelerating the development of teammate TMMs which include members understanding the knowledge, skills, attitudes, preferences, and tendencies of their teammates. An accurate teammate TMM allows teams to predict and account for the needs and behaviors of their teammates. Although much research has highlighted how the development of the four TMM domains can be supported, promoting the development of teammate TMMs is particularly challenging for a specific type of team: temporary teams.
Temporary teams, in contrast to ongoing teams, involve unknown teammates, novel tasks, short task times (alternatively limited interactions), and members disbanding after completing their task. These teams are increasingly used by organizations as they can be agilely formed with individual members selected to accomplish a specific task. Such teams are commonly used in contexts such as film production, the military, emergency response, and software development, just to name a few. Importantly, although these teams benefit greatly from teammate TMMs due to the efficiencies gained in decision making while working under limited deadlines, the literature is severely limited in understanding how to support temporary teams in this way. As prior research has suggested, an opportunity to accelerate teammate TMM development on temporary teams is through the use of technology to selectively share teammate information to support these TMMs. However, this solution poses numerous privacy concerns. This dissertation uses four studies to create a foundational and thorough understanding of how recommender system technology can be used to promote teammate TMMs through information sharing while limiting privacy concerns.
Study 1 takes a highly exploratory approach to set a foundation for future dissertation studies. This study investigates what information is perceived to be helpful for promoting teammate TMMs on actual temporary teams. Qualitative data suggests that sharing teammate information related to skills/preferences, conflict management styles, and work ethic/reliability is perceived as beneficial to supporting teammate TMMs. Also, this data provides a foundational understanding for what should be involved in information-sharing recommendations for promoting teammate TMMs. Quantitative results indicate that conflict management data is perceived as more helpful and appropriate to share than personality data.
Study 2 investigates the presentation of these recommendations through the factors of anonymity and explanations. Although explanations did not improve trust or satisfaction in the system, providing recommendations associated with a specific teammate name significantly improved several team measures associated with TMMs for actual temporary teams compared to teams who received anonymous recommendations. This study also sheds light on what temporary team members perceive as the benefits to sharing this information and what they perceive as concerns to their privacy.
Study 3 investigates how the group/team context and individual differences can influence disclosure behavior when using an information-sharing recommender system. Findings suggest that members of teams who are fully assessed as a team are more willing to unconditionally disclose personal information than members who are assessed as an individual or members who are mixed assessed as an individual and a team. The results also show how different individual differences and different information types are associated with disclosure behavior.
Finally, Study 4 investigates how the occurrence and content of explanations can influence disclosure behavior and system perceptions of an information-sharing recommender system. Data from this study highlights how benefit explanations provided during disclosure can increase disclosure and explanations provided during recommendations can influence perceptions of trust competence. Meanwhile, benefit-related explanations can decrease privacy concerns.
The aforementioned studies fill numerous research gaps relating to teamwork literature (i.e., TMMs and temporary teams) and recommender system research. In addition to contributions to these fields, this dissertation results in design recommendations that inform both the design of group recommender systems and the novel technology conceptualized through this dissertation, information-sharing recommender systems.

You may notice the pain of a headache at the end of a long day of work. Dry, irritated eyes can accompany a headache, making it harder to get through the day. Many patients experience eye strain but may not fully understand how this condition affects the body.
Headaches can be uncomfortable, and if you get them frequently, you may wonder if eye strain is causing them.
How Does Eye Strain Cause Headaches?
Eye strain headaches usually feel like a dull ache or throbbing sensation around the temples (sides of your head), coming on suddenly or gradually. Additionally, you may experience pain behind one eye due to increased pressure in that area.
An eye strain headache occurs due to irritation in your eye muscles. These muscles work constantly throughout the day as you focus on near and far away objects. Your eye muscles can become sore when focusing on close-up activities, like working on your computer, leading to headaches.
It’s important to note that eye strain headaches aren’t the same as migraines. You can check if you have a headache caused by eye strain by looking for these symptoms:
- Pain that goes away with rest
- Irritation behind your eyes
- You don’t feel nauseous
- Your headache occurs after focusing or using digital devices
What Is Eye Strain?
Eye strain is a common condition where your eyes experience discomfort, typically due to long periods of focusing. A long day of work, school, exposure to bright lights, or glare from a computer screen can lead to strained eyes.
Some typical eye strain symptoms include:
- Squinted eyes
- Blurry vision
- Dry eyes
- Eye twitching
- Light sensitivity
- Poor focusing
While uncomfortable, eye strain isn’t a permanent condition. Your symptoms will go away with time and rest. However, many patients experience eye strain when they can’t rest their eyes—like in the middle of the work day.
Understanding the causes of eye strain can help you prevent future discomfort.
What Causes Eye Strain?
Eye strain can have many potential causes, but it commonly occurs due to intense focusing. Whether you’re working, reading, or watching something on your laptop, focusing on something without rest for too long will fatigue your eyes.
Many patients assume that digital devices (phones, laptops, and tablets) cause eye strain, but good habits are more important for preventing discomfort.
Besides overuse, other factors can contribute to eye development, such as:
- Poor lighting
- Poor posture
- Infrequent blinking
- Being tired
- Digital device use
- Poorly lit digital screens
How Long Does Eye Strain Last?
Eye strain affects every patient differently, but irritation lasts around two hours on average. In severe cases, you may not improve your symptoms until you sleep or rest your eyes. Some people take a break from screens and work when eye strain develops.
It’s important to mention that eye strain can be a symptom of another eye condition. Visit your optometrist for an eye exam if your symptoms last longer than a day.
How Can You Prevent Eye Strain?
Eye strain will resolve with time, but that doesn’t mean you need to sit through it. There are many ways you can prevent eye strain before it happens or reduce your symptoms when you feel a headache developing.
Eye strain prevention methods include:
- The 20-20-20 rule: The 20-20-20 rule can help give your eyes frequent breaks. Following the rule, you take a 20-second rest every 20 minutes to look at something at least 20 feet away—giving your eyes time to reset from intense focus.
- Artificial tears: Artificial tears are eye drops that simulate your real tears. They help provide temporary moisture, keeping your eyes moist and comfortable.
- Proper room setup: Your environment can affect eye strain. Ensure your room lighting isn’t too dim or bright, and avoid unnecessary glare. Additionally, dry or moving air can dry out your eyes, so invest in a humidifier or work in a different area.
If your eye strain symptoms feel severe, take a longer break to rest your eyes.
Prevent Eye Strain from Ruining Your Day
Eye strain can lead to discomfort, headaches, and blurry vision, but it doesn’t need to be an everyday occurrence. Your optometrist can recommend strategies to reduce or prevent eye strain in the future. You can enjoy work and your favorite activities without a headache at the end of the day.

The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, MAN, has advised the federal government to get its policies right by making them industry- friendly.
MAN explained that a clement environment can only attract needed investment as this is the only guarantee for a competitive intra-African trade.
Its President, Mr Mansur Ahmed, while speaking at the 2020 edition of the MAN reporter of the year award on Thursday in Lagos urged the government to show readiness in addressing the supply side constraints of lack of infrastructure, to enjoy the gains of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Mansur, said policies and regulations should be lenient for businesses and seen as a way of assisting them to grow, to enhance competitiveness and boost the economy.
He said that competitiveness, without the provision of infrastructure such as good road networks and electricity, not only within African countries but also across the borders cannot be achieved.
“As the association remains at the forefront for setting the pace for engagement with other African manufacturers, the Nigerian government must also lead by example in ensuring that policies are industry-friendly, as this is the only guarantee for a competitive intra-African trade.
“Modern industry competitiveness depends to a great extent on provision of adequate and efficient infrastructure.
“There is also the aspect of provision of soft infrastructure – like visa, tariffs, and foreign exchange – that will help ease up the process of carrying out business transactions between countries,’’ he said.
According to him, transportation is vital to enhancing competitiveness in trade.
“For instance, due to poor infrastructure, it will cost a business owner in Nigeria more to transport goods from Lagos to Kano than it will cost a Chinese business owner to transport the same goods from China to Lagos.
“We must address all these issues since the AfCFTA is not just about trade in goods, but also trade in services,” he said.
The MAN President said that electricity was a vital input for any manufacturing process, as it constitutes up to 40 per cent of the cost of production.
He explained that increasing the tariff of this core input would have drastic negative effect on the Gross National Product (GNP), Gross Domestic Product (GDP), disposable income, consumption, employment, among other economic factors.
According to him, the uneven pricing of this commodity across distribution companies (DisCos), if not corrected, will lead to uneven development in certain parts of the country as the percentage increase in tariff differs.
“A reduction in electricity tariff for industrial purpose is more ideal, but even if it cannot be reduced, it should be not be increased.
“Any increase on the tariff will reinforce the already high- cost manufacturing environment and further depress productivity in the sector.
“Our appeal is that government, being a major stakeholder in the electricity industry, should concentrate on developing processes and polices to attract significant investment.
“This will encourage large scale generation and significant improvement in transmission and distribution.
“It is also important for government to ensure adequate and appropriate consultations with stakeholders in the private sector on such decisions with far-reaching implications,” he said.
The MAN President also disclosed that he had been confirmed substantive Chairman of the Pan African Manufacturers Association (PAMA).
The PAMA is the umbrella body of manufacturers in Africa.
It is aimed at bringing African manufacturers together to jointly engage governments of the African continent to create a conducive and enabling environment for local businesses to thrive. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Pre-Technocalypse terms for pioneers and adventurers who sort to explore and develop "deep space" (hence "deeper") and "blaze a trail" (archaic expression - hence "blazer") out beyond CisLunar space, Mars, the Belt and the main population hubs. It is thought that the term 'Blazer, with its original apostrophe, is an abbreviation of Outblazer, but this has never been confirmed.
While the majority were space-adapted tweaks, superior-tweaks, and cyborgs, 'Blazers came from all morphotypes and sapient categories, including vecs and ai, as well as ordinary baseline humans. Legendary accounts of solitary 'Blazers riding fusion torches to develop the moons of Uranus, or founding posthuman clades in the Kuiper Belt, are mostly apocryphal. Very few individuals in this age had their own ships to begin with, and 'Blazers were mostly organized in co-operatives. Many were even corporate franchised, or employed by Terran or Orbital nation-states or Lunar or Martian governments. Nor did they ever constitute a single clade or coherent memeticity, as was often believed from the later First Federation period onwards.
The names of a few 'Blazers have come down to us: Yang, Manfred, Rogers, 010001110, Alvarez, Starman, Petrov, O'Neill, Smith, Newchild, Chomi, Model 21351, Wilcox, Savimbi, and many more. However, not all of these may represent genuine individuals. Some historians have argued for example that the 'Blazer known as "Rogers, Buck," was actually a fabulist invention from centuries earlier. It is not impossible however that later individuals may have taken these earlier literary creations as their call sign.
There are many explanations as to what happened, and different historians have proposed their own pet theories. All of these explanations have evidence supporting them, and each represents some aspect of the whole situation. These include:
The Beam Rider Postulation. It is known that at least a few 'Blazers joined up with the original Beamrider Network, which later became the Deeper Covenant, although the similarity of name is purely coincidental,
and the Interstellar Promotion Hypothesis (it is known that at least a few Blazers set off for the stars during the Nanotech Window),
as well as less likely theories like the Worldship Collective. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

With her increasing popularity among global fans, Ayase Haruka’s net worth and career have been in the limelight recently. Being an all-rounder, Ayase has not limited herself to just acting but has worked in music also. Being active in sports, playing basketball in middle school, and even reaching the Chugoku region Ekiden tournament in junior school.
Becoming an actor wasn’t the career path Ayase’s parents thought she would take. The thought of working in the Japanese entertainment industry occurred when Ayase was in her freshman year. The actress went on to audition for the 25th Horipro Talent Scout Caravan. Her parents objected to her choices, but looking at her determination they made peace with it. She made her screen acting debut in a 2002 Japanese movie titled Jam Films. And with all the support, Ayase Haruka moved to Tokyo to start her new life as an entertainer.
Losing weight, the actress went on to release a photo book and DVD as a gravure model. And without wasting much time, Ayase started getting small roles in television dramas. She played a role in the 2003 Fuji TV drama “The Way I Live” aka Boku no Ikiru Michi. With the role, Ayase’s image changed altogether as it got her in the positive limelight.
A Look At Ayase Haruka’s Career
By 2008, the actress’ career went into overdrive as she gave powerful performances one after one. Within five years, Ayase played a lot of supporting and lead roles in shows like ‘Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu’, ‘Tatta Hitotsu no Koi’, ‘Hotaru no Hikari’, and ‘Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi’. In 2006, Ayase went on to take a chance in her music career as well. The actress went on to release her first single “Period” in 2006.

Bitmaps, unlike vector graphics, don't provide enough data to scale an image extensively—if you try to make the image bigger, more data is required than the pixels originally recorded. To get around this, image resizing makes use of a technique known as "interpolation"—trying to "guess" the missing pixels based on the color values of their neighbors. Two interpolation techniques, bicubic and bilnear, are especially common in image processing.
Bicubic vs. Bilinear
Bilinear interpolation is a relatively simple technique, not much more complicated than "nearest neighbor" interpolation—where pixel gaps are filled in by simply copying adjacent pixels. For every "missing" pixel (the pixels that have to be created to blow up the image) the bilinear method takes the four points that are closest at the diagonal corners, and averages their values out to produce the middle pixel. Bicubic interpolation, in contrast, takes not only the four closest diagonal pixels, but their closest points as well, for a total of 16 pixels.
Advantages of Bicubic Interpolation
Because any interpolation method relies on inventing new data, any resized image is equally faithful between interpolation techniques in terms of raw information content. The difference chiefly lies in how the image is perceived by the viewer, and because bicubic interpolation makes use of more data, its results are generally smoother. Bicubic interpolation creates smoother curves than bilinear interpolation, and introduces fewer "artifacts," or pixels that stand out as conspicuously deteriorating the apparent quality of the image.
The increased smoothness of bicubic interpolation comes at a substantial cost in terms of processing time; the algorithms and formulas used for the bicubic method are much more complex. Accordingly, while bilinear interpolation is fairly quick and may not be that much slower than nearest-neighbor calculations, bicubic interpolation is slower, at times by an order of magnitude. This makes bicubic interpolation less desirable in situations where speed is of the essence or the added smoothness of the final image isn't as important.
When you need to increase the size of an image and time isn't important—for example, if you're making prints from a digital camera on your own time—bicubic interpolation provides the smooth results that are perceived as being of a higher quality. However, the fact that it uses additional pixels can be a downside when the image is being shrunk, rather than enlarged, because it also means that more pixels are discarded or changed. In these cases, the comparatively smaller number of pixels employed by the bilinear method can produce results that are more pleasing to the eye, with fewer artifacts.

Sensory prop ideas to use with the online story: Robert and his Sleigh
This is a very tactile story. Everyone can join in with the actions, or you can carry out the actions on the shoulders, arms and hands of the person you are telling the story to (if they enjoy this kind of tactile input).
If you wish you could also add in sensory props – here are some suggestions:
All the adults in the room might like to put on woolly hats and scarves for this story – to help make an Alpine atmosphere!
Confetti is a great prop to use for the snow. Either make your own by cutting up white tissue paper or buy some wedding confetti online.
The mayor and the policeman could both wear wellies or other boots. You can put your hands in these and make them �?stomp’ on wheelchair trays or tables. Or clap them against each other sole-to-sole to make a good stomping noise.
A whistle makes a good noise for the whistling wind if you blow in it gently.
You might want to use some empty food packages (cereal boxes etc.) and pile these up high to show how Robert piled up the food on his sledge.
For extra party atmosphere try adding party blowers and flags or bunting at the end to celebrate Robert’s success.
It could be nice to finish off with some footage of bob sleighs at the end of the story. There should be plenty of this amongst the current Winter Olympics coverage.
Sensory prop ideas to use with the online story: The Flea and the Louse
Gather these props together and then use them as they occur in the story video. However, you may find you do not want to use every prop each time it is mentioned – use your judgement as to what works best for the flow of the story.
Feel free also to make additions or exchanges according to what you have to hand and what you think will be enjoyed by the people you are telling the story to.
Sheets: pillowcase or dish towel.
Porridge pot: pot with a wooden spoon for stirring.
Tea caddy: any kind of tin (or Tupperware) with tea – or something similar – inside. (It might be a good idea to tape the lid shut to avoid spills.) The important thing with this prop is that it makes a nice noise when you shake it.
Pegs: any kind of pegs in a drawstring fabric bag - or something similar.
Sheep: wool or fleece for the feel of the sheep, and lots of baaing!
Boggy loch: a large piece of light fabric to waft around and over the people who are listening. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The nut is behind the smooth cap, the cap is held in place by a spring steel circlip, you may need to use circlip pliers to remove this. Once the circlip is removed the cap can or should just pull out by hand. Good luck

Also, there is no circlip involved whatsoever.

Testing a Forgotten Aspect of Akerlof's Gift Exchange Hypothesis: Relational Contracts with Individual and Uniform Wages
45 Pages Posted: 25 Mar 2012
Empirical work on Akerlof's theory of gift exchange in labor markets has concentrated on the fair wage-effort hypothesis. In fact, however, the theory also contains a social component that stipulates that homogenous agents that are employed for the same wage level will exert more effort, resulting in higher rents and higher market efficiency, than agents that receive different wages. We present the first test of this component, which we call the fair uniform-wage hypothesis. In our laboratory experiment, we establish the existence of a significant efficiency premium of uniform wages. However, it is not the consequence of a stronger level of reciprocity by agents, but of the retrenchment of sanctioning options on the side of principals with uniform wages. Hence, implementing limitations to contractual freedom can have efficiency-enhancing effects.

Tips on Toilet Repair from Ft. Lauderdale’s Plumbing Experts
As a leading Fort Lauderdale emergency plumbing service, Paradise Service Technologies has a few tips for homeowners in need of toilet repair. Except for a clogged toilet, there are very few toilet problems that can’t be fixed as a DIY project providing you have a few simple tools and the knowhow.
We’re here to help you out with the knowhow.
First let’s talk about the age of your toilet. If it was installed before 1994 it probably uses 5.2 gallons per flush. That’s more than 3 times the amount of water of the “low flush” toilets (1.6 gallons) introduced in 1195. You are wasting water and spending more on your water bill than you have to.
Fort Lauderdale is a member of the Broward Water Partnership’s Water Conservation and Incentives Program which provides rebates and incentives for homeowners that convert to low flush toilets. Between the rebates and lower water bill it’s cheaper to replace an old toilet than to try and find replacement parts to repair it.
Now let’s talk about repairing common toilet problems.
- Phantom Flushes. When you hear the tank filling up by itself it is almost always caused by a slow leak of water from the tank into the bowl. The most common cause of a phantom flush is a worn out flapper. Turn off the water supply, flush the tank and then examine flapper. You may be able to correct the problem by cleaning the flapper and the seal it sits on. If that doesn’t work you can get a snap on replacement at any home improvement store.
- Constant hissing sound. If it sounds like the water is constantly running in the tank you have a leak or malfunction that is not shutting the water off completely from the supply line. One of three things is causing water to seep in from the supply line. First is the float is stuck or needs readjustment both of which are simple to correct. Secondly the refill tube which runs from the ballcock assembly into the overflow tube is sticking too far down the overflow tube. Lastly the ballcock assembly itself is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.
- Leaky seals. Most toilets have 5 seals, any one of which could fail and cause a leak. There are two that could do serious damage to your floor and that’s the seal between the tank and the bowl and the wax seal mounted on a plastic flange underneath the toilet base. For the tank seal, turn off the water source, flush the tank and then unbolt the two bolts that connect it to the bowl. Remove the tank, turn it upside down peel off the old seal and pop on a new one. For the bowl remove any remaining water, unbolt the four bolts at the base, turn the bowl on its side an peel of the old wax seal from the flange and replace with a new one.
All of the parts in a toilet are inexpensive and available at a home improvement or plumbing supply store. Repairing your toilet will be mostly an investment in time rather than money and is far less expensive than having a plumber do it for you. That said, feel free to contact us if you have any question about your toilet repair. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Reports are circulating that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have agreed to participate in a cage match. These two well-known technology billionaires are expected to face each other in the ring.
The possibility of artificial intelligence replacing creative jobs – as such, architects might be counted – remains vastly uncertain. Opinions claiming that AI can fully replace architects are similarly present as opinions claiming the exact opposite.

Tuesday Afternoon Dialogue (TAD) New Book starting Nov 19
- Tuesday, November 19, 2024
- 1:45 PM – 3:00 PM
Join the TAD group on Zoom as we read and discuss our next book, Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss by Margaret Renkl. A New York Times contributing opinion writer, Renkl has written an unusual, captivating portrait of a family—and of the cycles of joy and grief that inscribe human lives within the natural world. This book feels peaceful, calm, and is beautifully illustrated by the author’s brother.
In brief essays, Renkl traces a tender and honest portrait of her unforgettable parents and of the bittersweet moments that accompany a child’s transition to caregiver. Braided into the overall narrative, she also offers observations on the world surrounding her suburban Nashville home. Ringing with rapture and heartache, these essays convey the dignity of bluebirds and rat snakes, monarch butterflies and native bees. As the two threads haunt and harmonize with each other, Renkl suggests that there is astonishment to be found in common things: in what seems ordinary, in what we all share.
TAD will read and discuss the book in 3 sessions, starting November 19th. Join in at 1:45 PM for fellowship, or 2 PM for book discussion.
We’d love to have you join us for one or all of the discussions.

When it comes to feeding your ducks, you have to pay close attention to what you are feeding them. In some areas, feeding wildlife is illegal, and you could face a fine of up to $100 if you are caught. Here are some things to avoid: avocados, citrus fruits, dog food, and salty grains.
Avoid citrus fruits
You shouldn’t feed your ducks citrus fruits, as they can cause a variety of ailments. Citrus fruits are also toxic to ducks and can disrupt their digestive systems. Citrus fruits can also cause excessive thirst, which is bad for your ducks.
There are many foods that ducks enjoy, but some are better left out of their diet. Avocados, for example, are toxic to birds and should never be fed to them. Avocados contain the compound persin, which is toxic to ducks. Avocado trees, especially those that grow in the wild, are also toxic. Avoid feeding ducks avocados and their pits.
Avoid dog food
While dog foods are rich in nutrients, they are not the best choice for feeding ducks. Not only are they high in fat and cholesterol, they can also lead to obesity in ducks, which is harmful to the birds’ health. Dog food is also susceptible to molds, which can be toxic for ducks.
Avoid salty grains
During the winter, ducks need lots of nutritious food and salty grains are not a good choice. They can eat some cooked carbs, but it is best to limit their intake. Whole wheat pasta and brown rice are a good choice. You can also use oatmeal, but make sure to use unflavored varieties.
Avoid potato skins
You should never feed your ducks potato skins, especially during the winter season. Not only are they toxic, they also contain solanine, which is a neurotoxin. This substance is naturally found in plants that belong to the Nightshade family.
When feeding ducks, it’s important to watch what you feed them. Many ducks enjoy eating fruits and vegetables, but not mollusks and other animals that could harm their digestive systems. For example, avocados are toxic to ducks, and they can lead to a host of illnesses, including intestinal blockage and secondary bacterial infections. They can also cause death in pet birds, so be sure to limit their intake of these foods.
The tannic acid contained in acorns causes digestive problems in ducks. It can also damage the liver and kidneys. In order to avoid these problems, you should dry acorns before feeding them to your ducks. Alternatively, you can boil acorns to remove the tannins. While acorns may not be the healthiest choice for ducks, they do provide good protein and fat.
Avoid grass seeds
While grass seeds are a healthy source of protein, you should avoid feeding your ducks large amounts of them. This is because the seeds can lead to over-weight in poultry. Over-weight poultry can suffer from leg problems and fatty liver. You can make your ducks’ diet more nutritious by providing a variety of other vegetables and fruits. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Sbobet is one of the most popular gambling companies in Asia. It has over three million customers worldwide and has been around for more than a decade. In addition to sports betting, the company also offers horse racing and casino games. It also supports a large number of languages. The company has been in the news several times for its alleged involvement in match-fixing, including an accusation by the English FA over an academy football game between Derby County and Norwich City. Despite this, the company has not been banned in any country. However, it does not allow US-based bettors to register with the site. If they try to do so, they would be breaking the company’s terms and conditions and risking their money.
SBOBet is licensed and regulated by the Philippines (Asia) and Isle of Man (Europe) to operate as an international sports bookmaker. They have been in business since 2004 and offer competitive odds on major sporting events. Their customer support is available round the clock and they are known for their quick response to any queries. The website has a wide variety of sports betting options including soccer, basketball and tennis. They also have a virtual football and virtual basketball section where bettors can place bets on the outcomes of specific matches.
SBObet’s main strength is their excellent handicap odds. They are able to provide odds that are close to the Pinnacle on most events, especially Asian Handicaps for soccer and world football. They also offer competitive odds on game totals, where bettors can find over/under lines that are often higher than the market average. In addition, they have an excellent selection of other specials and financial props.
The SBObet app and mobile web are a great way to place bets on the go. The site is simple to use and allows you to select a sport, league and game from the menu on the left. Due to limitations of display on smartphones, events are grouped by league in the select league screen. To make a bet, click on the event and follow the onscreen instructions.
Another important feature of SBObet is its extensive range of betting markets and live streaming. It offers a large selection of sports, including the most popular in Asia and Europe. It also has a wide variety of live streams, including football, basketball and tennis. This makes it easy for players to enjoy their favorite sport without having to leave home.
The SBObet site is available in a number of languages and offers a convenient registration process. To get started, you can choose a language and fill in your user name and password. After that, you can start betting instantly! Remember to check your balance before placing a bet. This will help you avoid any mistakes and keep your account safe from any problems. You can also deposit funds using your bank card or online payment methods. You can even watch live games for free on SBObet! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Maneuvering should be no more complicated than the turning of the wheel. And -preferably- without fully exerting yourself. For this purpose, Craftsman Marine offers solutions, which will position each boat in the right place; always and in every situation. There are many situations when the skipper could do with a little helping hand. E.g. when you are boating all alone, or with an inexperienced crew on board.

This is a list of beta elements for the game Cars: Mater-National Championship.
In concept, Gudmund and Koji's names were originally going to be "Sven" and "Hiro" respectively. This is what their directories are called, as well as all of the animations and textures located within it.
It can be presumed that their names were changed to Gudmund and Koji to match thier origins better.
There are some lines of data for the characters DJ and Mack present in the game files. Both are listed as "Non-playable characters" in the game's "VehicleInfo.dat" file, with Mack having a name string found in CommonUI data file.
Additionally, there are some characters that have playable data for races and minigames. These characters include Mia, Fletcher, Philip, Yuri, Sheriff, Lenny, Snot Rod, Judd, Buford, Lewis and Count Spatula. It is possible that these characters were scrapped due to not having enough time to make unique animations or they were used during development to check the progress of the in-game models and animations. Interestingly, clips of Snot Rod are seen in game trailers, as well as the game intro.
There is one unused paint job for Fillmore by the name of "fil_body_a". It was presumably intended to give Fillmore an alternate orange color scheme, but was scrapped due to bugs or time constraints. Sarge was also going to have an alternate paint job with various "rock" stars, but it was never even created. A concept art for the paint job can be found in the bonus content section to prove that Sarge was going to have it.
Additionally, the textures for Sheriff's and Count Spatula's alternate paint jobs from Cars: The Videogame can be found in their respective directories.
Perhaps the most interesting of unused data, there are five unused icon files for two different characters, named "MODT" and "STAN". "MODT" appears to be an early version of Lizzie's icon, with less detail and no tan outline. Interestingly, there are four of this icon in the UI/TEX folder, the four are named "MODT_a", "MODT_b", "MODT_c" and MODT_d".
Strangely, the "STAN" icon appears to be a depiction of Stanley in his appearance from Time Travel Mater. What makes this odd is that Time Travel Mater was released nearly five years after this game, meaning it was unlikely that Stanley's design was conceived at the time. It is unknown what this icon was to be used for. No directories for either of the two cars are present in the final game, nor any other data referencing these icons.
Additionally, there are multiple icons left in from Cars: The Videogame, including the ones for Sheriff's alternate paint jobs, Count Spatula's alternate paint jobs, some of Monster McQueen's alternate paint jobs, as well as icons for Buford, Judd, Lewis, Ginormous and Lightning's gear.
An unused song titled "UI_Music" can be found listed alongside the rest of the game's soundtrack. The song is a simple remix of the Radiator Springs Theme, giving it a more electronic sound, while continuing to maintain the rock elements.
Along with this, some characters such as Tommy Joe, Fred, Philip, Yuri, Emma and Snot Rod have unused voice clips involving them greeting Lightning, suggesting that they may have been intended to drive around on the roads in story mode.
Lightning also has a large number of unused voice clips, including most of his quotes from Cars: The Videogame. However, like all of his other dialogue, they have been reenacted by Keith Ferguson. Some of these unused quotes are used in Cars: Race-O-Rama.
Additionally, some of the tracks from Cars: The Videogame can be found listed alongside the rest of the game's soundtrack, but were left unused. The tracks included are "Radiator Springs at Night", "Night, Darlin'", "Sarge's March", "Rusty Fenders" and "Tailfin Pass".
In the game's executable file an unused cheat-code was found, called SCENZ4U. What this cheat-code supposed to do is unknown.

Here we are going to give the details about Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 as the public is searching about it over the internet. The public is going through the internet to learn more about Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 and not only that they also like to know the details about Eliza Isichei and Aaron Bryant as they are going viral over the internet. So, for our readers. we have brought information about Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 in this article. Not only that we are also going to give the details about Eliza Isichei and Aaron Bryant as the public is searching about them over the internet. So, keep reading through the article to know more.
Are Eliza Isichei And Aaron Bryant Together
A Bachelor in Paradise reviving the popular spin-off reality show with past contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Season 9 debuted on September 28, 2023. With Jesse Palmer as host, the program debuted a new season set in the picturesque Mexican town of Sayulita, near Vallarta-Nayarit. The season, which followed the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor, was notable for its unusual airing schedule, which saw it move from its usual Monday and Tuesday timeslots to Thursdays due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. This season included well-known characters falling in love, experiencing conflict, and making connections in the idyllic yet remote paradise.
Eliza Isichei and Aaron Bryant seem to be together and even engaged at the end of Bachelor in Paradise Season 9, based on current reports and spoilers. The couple overcame difficulties during the season, such as periods of uncertainty and fleeting relationships with other people, but they were still able to reinforce their close relationship, which resulted in their engagement. Social media indicators that point to a relationship that continues beyond Paradise include Eliza and Aaron following each other on Instagram and Aaron posting on Instagram Stories that seem to suggest they were together after the programme.
Although their engagement was verified in publications till the middle of 2023, their current situation may have changed after then. Eliza and Aaron’s experience on Season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise appeared to have culminated in a committed relationship, as sources and spoilers said they were a couple when they left the show, possibly even engaged. There were many highs and lows in Eliza Isichei and Aaron Bryant’s romance during Season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise. The couple’s obvious chemistry allowed them to immediately become a strong link and fan favorite. But they also had setbacks along the way, such as Aaron having a brief romantic relationship with Mercedes Northup, another competitor, and Eliza going on a date with John Buresh. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
London:British Olympic boxer Muhammad Ali has been banned for two years after failing a drugs test.
The 21-year-old flyweight tested positive for the anabolic steroid Trenbolone during the World Series of Boxing in Morocco in April last year.
Ali argued he may have eaten contaminated meat in Morocco, or had the steroid in his system after having a drink intended for his father.
But it was decided he not give enough proof to establish he was not at fault.
“All they caught me with was two nanograms. I can’t explain it,” said Ali.
“I was trying to make 52kg and I wouldn’t want to put muscle on. I was literally trying to cut weight. It doesn’t make sense.”
Ali, the first member of the British boxing squad to fail a drugs test for a banned substance, will be eligible to compete again in May 2019.
He was provisionally suspended in October and has now reached a “settlement agreement” with the International Boxing Association (AIBA).
AIBA acknowledged Ali had not taken the substance with the intention to cheat.
GB Boxing said it is “committed to clean sport” and noted AIBA found the athlete did not intend to cheat.
A spokesperson added: “At GB Boxing, our focus is on supporting the boxers on the World Class Performance Programme and giving them the support, assistance and coaching expertise they need to develop, improve and win medals at major international championships and the Olympic Games.
“We work with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and our International Federation to provide extensive education and support to our boxers on anti-doping rules, the anti-doping obligations upon them as athletes and the importance of adhering to the principles of clean sport.”
Trenbolone, which supports muscle growth, is on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s prohibited list.
Ali, who lost in the first round of the 2016 Rio Olympics, believes the length of his ban is “extreme” and said it “couldn’t have been any worse”.
The European silver medallist added: “I didn’t leave my bedroom for five months. I was so depressed, but it is what it is. I’ve just got to do my time and move on.
“I thought it would be a six-month suspension or something.”
Ali is now targeting the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
“It 100% makes me more hungry – I want it more than ever now – not 1% of me thought this would ever happen to me, ” he said.
“There’s going to be people saying this and that. I don’t want anyone thinking I’m a bad guy.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
We’ve all been gripped by the news over the past couple of weeks about the incursion into Ukraine by Russia. Like most of you, it’s been a real education about connecting the dots between parts of World History class that I paid attention to and those I should’ve paid much more attention to.
Sure, I caught the highlights of how and why World War II ended, but it’s been a real journey learning how Russia became the USSR, then Russia again, and is now trying to be Ukraine’s illegitimate daddy.
Sadly, I should know much more about Eastern Europe because I am Polish by heritage and while I may not know the full history of Poland, I know its people. The people that helped raise my family on Strawberry Hill in Kansas City, Kan. are the same people who are welcoming tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees with, quite literally, open arms and open homes. It comes as no surprise if you’ve spent any time on “the hill” in KCK, sipped a drink at Frank’s or been to the Polski Day parade. I’ve seen videos on CNN and Fox News of Poles helping these refugees with blankets, housing, and, I’d imagine a shot of krupnik.
If you’re like me, you are seeing that same spirit and spunk in the Ukrainian people as well. The spirit to frustrate what should’ve been a slam dunk invasion by Russian President Vladimir Putin has been entirely drawn out and, in some cases, turned away by Ukrainians. The rest of the world has taken notice through social media videos and posts and pledged their support as well.
This Ukrainian spirit has captured the heart of the world as they defend the invaders with homemade bombs, guns, and rocket launchers. There have been reports of columns of Russian soldiers being turned away after engaging Ukrainian citizens who talk reason to the kids that make up the Russian army. Even Russian citizens have noticed taking to their streets under heavy threat of arrest to protest Putin’s war.
But the single best example of this Ukrainian and Eastern Europe spirit is the story of Snake Island or by proper name, Zmiinyi Island. The border-defining small island in the Black Sea has a population around 100 under normal circumstances. Last week, as a Russian warship cozied up to its docks en route to the mainland, it had a population of 13. These 13 were Ukrainian servicemen and women serving their duty as an early detection team as reports an impending invasion grew louder.
Now, after a long life of going to some Polish weddings, funerals, and parties, I feel that I’m fairly well acquainted with the so-called “spirit” that I’m about to explain. Eastern Europeans are, quite simply, tough as nails. They are made of piss and vinegar and you’ll never hear a peep of complaining from them. I wished I had more than just an ounce of that spirit in me today.
As these warships descended on this tiny island, the ships came on the radio to the outpost ordering them to surrender. True to their spirit, and in the face of what would be certain death from a single shot from that warship, the Snake Island microphone was keyed and gave the Russians the only response that encapsulates the Ukrainian spirit on display now.
“Russian warship, go fuck yourself.”
That’s really the only story you need to know about this war and the people that it is brutally invading. Vladimir Putin, go fuck yourself.

Herbie Hancock: A Pioneer of Jazz and Modern Music
Few names in music carry the weight of Herbie Hancock. As a virtuoso pianist, groundbreaking composer, and musical innovator, Hancock has reshaped the landscape of jazz and beyond. His contributions span over six decades, weaving together elements of bebop, funk, and electronic music, and leaving an indelible mark on the world of sound. Join us as we explore the remarkable journey of this musical legend.
Early Years: From Classical Prodigy to Jazz Innovator
Born in Chicago on April 12, 1940, Herbie Hancock began his musical journey as a classical piano prodigy. At just 11 years old, he performed a Mozart concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Despite his classical roots, it was jazz that captured his imagination. Inspired by the works of Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans, Hancock developed a fluid and harmonic style that would become his signature.
His professional career began when he caught the attention of trumpeter Donald Byrd in the early 1960s. Hancock’s debut album, Takin’ Off, released in 1962 under Blue Note Records, showcased his compositional genius. The hit single "Watermelon Man" from the album became a jazz standard, marking the start of a storied career.
Herbie Hancock and the Miles Davis Quintet
Hancock’s collaboration with Miles Davis in the 1960s was a pivotal chapter in his career. As a member of Davis’s Second Great Quintet, he played a vital role in shaping the post-bop sound. Together, they pushed the boundaries of jazz, creating music that was as intellectually stimulating as it was emotionally powerful. Albums like ESP and Miles Smiles highlight Hancock’s genius as both a performer and an innovator.
This collaboration not only cemented his place among jazz’s elite but also set the stage for his own explorations into uncharted musical territories.
Breaking Boundaries with "Head Hunters" and Electronic Music
Herbie Hancock’s 1973 album Head Hunters was a game-changer, blending jazz with funk and electronic elements to create a genre-defining masterpiece. Tracks like "Chameleon" showcased his pioneering use of synthesizers, paving the way for a new era of jazz fusion. Head Hunters remains one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time and a cornerstone in the evolution of modern music.
Hancock’s innovations didn’t stop there. With his 1983 album Future Shock, he embraced cutting-edge electronic techniques, producing hits like "Rockit." This track, with its iconic scratching and robotic grooves, introduced jazz to the worlds of hip-hop and dance music, expanding his influence across genres.
Legacy, Collaborations, and Awards
Beyond his solo work, Herbie Hancock has collaborated with a wide array of artists, from Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder to Carlos Santana. His ability to transcend genres and create timeless music has earned him numerous accolades, including multiple Grammy Awards. His 2008 album, River: The Joni Letters, won the prestigious Album of the Year Grammy, a rare feat for a jazz musician.
Hancock’s best piano solos, featured on classics like "Dolphin Dance" and "Cantelope Island," continue to inspire musicians and listeners alike. These performances showcase his unparalleled mastery of improvisation and composition, cementing his place as one of the greatest pianists in history.
A Legacy That Inspires Generations
Herbie Hancock’s career is a testament to his relentless pursuit of innovation. Today, he continues to tour, record, and educate, sharing his passion for music with audiences around the globe. As a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, Hancock uses music as a tool for intercultural dialogue, proving that his impact extends far beyond the stage.
Whether you’re discovering his music for the first time or revisiting his extensive discography, Herbie Hancock’s work offers a rich tapestry of sound and creativity. His enduring legacy is a reminder of music’s power to inspire, challenge, and connect us all.

Weird arcade game about a ninja with an uncertain plot. Ninja fighter European appearance is necessary at different levels to rescue the hostages from the bandits.
The game has several modes, the main game, that is a traditional platformer, go and kill enemies, collecting power-UPS and releasing hostages. Weapons traditional stars-shuriken and balls of fire, familiar from many other games on this subject, there are (the first, incidentally, can clear the whole screen at once). There are the "virtual shooting gallery" - a first-person, it is necessary to throw at enemies shuriken. Especially pleasing to the bosses faced at the end of each level. There are just healthy guys, and a huge anthropomorphic monsters (I liked the man-toad in the first level, too bad that there is no history of this being), and helicopters, that fight especially hard.
Graphics are average, nothing outstanding, but it will come down, as they say, the backgrounds are drawn well and varied. Fans of the genre can get pleasure from the passage, no doubt.

I sat at it, a good table—one of a number
of respectable pieces they managed
to keep out of the weather, until it lost
whatever appeal it had had for them,
until the disintegration of the marriage
gathered enough speed that they’d use
it, almost literally, as a barricade.
I’d been caught looking at nude
men in a National Geographic.
In fifth grade I knew how bad
the question was: are you homosexual?
He was confused about the fact
that the older boys who raped him
when he was my age hadn’t been
gay boys but psychopathic boys.
It took courage. It was the article
about the tribesmen who build
a forty foot tree-limb scaffold
and tie a vine to it and to an ankle
and jump off face-first. Each ties
according to his height, weight,
sense of the materials, prevailing
winds, temperature, humidity, etc.
In the overall mass calculation
genitals matter little next to heads.
Because construction takes much
of the day the last to go must
remember where the ground was.
His peers will learn by torchlight
whether the vine stretched enough
to preserve the ball in its socket
joint, whether the tower gave
enough to place his lips on the earth.
After Mr. Brown rewired his vacuum so that it blew down a duct-taped
nozzle and filled the cow lung, they jimmied the biology classroom lock
to steal it. It was the size of a too full carry-on banished planeside to the hold.
No self-respecting teenager would have wrapped both arms
around it but I like to think they didn’t use gloves as they carried
it dripping, crabwise across the empty quad, someone gripping
the remnant windpipe, others supporting it, slippery, from below.
The gentle Mr. McCann our English teacher taught that art
was made by people just a little more than we were like us.
That we could get there if we tried: a beautiful fable my good,
dead friend. Giving it footprints in my locker the artists tore a lobe. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Slots are a form of gambling that uses electronic machines that spin reels to award coins to players. These devices are commonly seen in casinos. However, a growing number of people are playing them on the Internet. There are many online sites where gamblers can play slot games. Before playing, however, it is important to check the site and ensure it is reliable and safe.
Many states have imposed regulations on the ownership of slots. Some states do not restrict private slot ownership, while others do. In Arizona, Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and West Virginia, slot machines are permitted to be owned by individuals.
There are two types of slot machines. The first type is a mechanical device with a seven-segment display and a lever. The second is an electronic machine that uses microprocessors and a pay table. This is more modern and may have as many as 1024 paylines. Both types are classified by the Gambling Commission.
If you play a video slot, you will probably notice that the symbols have been assigned a higher probability than those on a traditional reel. This is because the technology has allowed manufacturers to add advanced bonus rounds and interactive elements. They also have more diverse video graphics.
Most modern slot machines no longer have a tilt switch. These were used to trigger an alarm if the machine was tampered with. Instead, the manufacturer assigns different probabilities to each symbol. For example, a three-reel machine has a theoretical payout of 1000 times the input amount. That would seem like a pretty low amount, but the probability of winning a prize is not as important as the actual return to the player.
A slot machine will usually come with a pay table. If a particular symbol appears, the paytable will list the credits owed. Usually, the pay table will be listed on the machine’s face or in a help menu. You will also see a credit meter that indicates how much money is currently on the machine.
To keep your game running smoothly, a skill stop button is often located between each reel. This will prevent you from spinning the reels and losing your credits. If you are unsure of how to use the skill stop button, consult the operator.
The most popular online slots today are provided by Pragmatic Play. These slots are available in 31 languages and in a variety of currencies. Some of the most popular slots include the Wolf Gold, Sweet Bonanza, and John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen. Players can play these games on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. Their tournaments and promotions are also mobile friendly.
Slots are a popular pastime in Indonesia. They can be played in gedungs or toko. Some have an expanding wild and gampang jackpots. Others are fantasy themed. They feature special winning scenes on the LCD display. While most have a minimum payout of 15 coins, they can pay out up to seven times this amount. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

For a free quote on any of our durable and heavy-duty storage solutions, get in touch with our experts.
When your team and equipment are on the move, security is key. Foam inlays provide protection when added to our mobile storage solutions. Whether used in our mobile toolboxes, protective cases or military vehicles, you can transport your items with confidence.
Polstore foam inlays are designed in-house using the latest CAD/CAM software and manufactured from a material known as ‘plastazote’ which is inert, chemically resistant and hard-wearing. When the foam design is to store weapons or items of a sensitive nature, we can complete the data capture process on-site, or train your team to do so.
When your team isn’t out on deployment, your set up at base is equally as important. Our team has decades of experience to help devise, design and deliver a storage solution built around you.
Our storage solutions are built to deliver optimal performance and practicality without compromising the aesthetic appeal. From drawer cabinets, to workbenches, to shelving and racking, we have a solution that will solve your storage challenge.
Through R&D and innovation Polstore can customise and convert any storage container so that you have a ready-to-use storage facility and workstation. Any Polstore storage product can be configured to fit within the container and utilise the whole space.
As you can see, we have clients who have fitted out their container with our pull out vertical storage racking, storage cabinets and cupboards, workstations and workbenches.
When it comes to secure weapons storage, we can partition a section using a heavy-duty mesh panelled wall and secure door. A double height weapons rack for carbines and a pistol storage drawer cabinet could be secured within this area, as an example.
All our deployable storage containers meet the highest of standards and have been rigorously third party tested. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
There’s always been a lot of pressure to express self-confidence a certain way, in grandiose inflated terms, something that goes a little like this:
“I know I’m terrific. Wonderful. The absolute best. No one and nothing’s gonna hold me back.”
But for me, it’s just not realistic. When I speak the words, they feel silly coming out of my mouth. Like a brag that I’m pleading for the rest of the world to believe.
I suppose it doesn’t help that I knew several individuals with this kind of attitude who were not actually exceptionally talented folks but the most deluded people I’ve ever met. They were fairly standard issue in most aspects except for their inflated sense of self-worth, which led them to trample on others and cause harm that they would never even acknowledge, let alone apologize for. They were bullies. Snobs.
So I was always dubious of this approach on a gut feel level, although surrounded by people who preached its value. Disney movies, teachers, parents, counselors who’d come into school to do self-esteem workshops.
And once I went on to formally study research, the notion of being grandiose about self-esteem became even more impossible to stomach. Because in spite of what the well-intentioned self-esteem movement may have preached, careful followup research has found that elevated self-esteem doesn’t lead to positive mental health. The self-esteem movement jumped to conclusions with some early correlational work and got the causality backwards. Self-esteem was not a goal to pursue in and of itself that would make life success more likely; instead, it was a positive result that could be found after the fact in certain people who had achieved their goals. And pursuing higher self-esteem (especially without making other positive changes in their behavior and environment) could actually make people less happy.
So I’ve had to figure out a different kind of self-confidence. A self-confidence that hinges on knowing that I can accomplish reasonable tasks on a consistent basis ( self-efficacy) and knowing that I’m allowed to make human mistakes without it meaning that I’m a defective person ( self-compassion).
Letting Enough Be Enough Instead of Needing to Be the Best #
I have no place in my life for a self-confidence that requires that I be fantastic or think that I’m the best at anything.
One might think that if you shoot for the moon, you’d end up among the stars. That by believing that you’re the best that if you can’t meet that standard (because reality, unfairness, your limitations, and/or human frailty get in the way), you’ll still feel pretty damn good.
But unfortunately, emotional absolutes don’t work that way. And for many people, trying to be the best means that they feel like the worst when they fall even a bit short of that. And instead it’s best to get away from absolutes altogether.
That’s why I have plenty of room for a self-confidence that recognizes I have the capability to do a great many things while I’m alive. To make an impact. Maybe it’s not the biggest impact, but it’s something I can do. And be proud of.
And I also have plenty of room for the kind of self-confidence that allows me to be imperfect, to forgive myself when I mess up with the same level of graciousness that I would show a close friend.
It’s enough for me.
And the funny thing is? I’ve found that in the years since I’ve stopped assigning value to how much self-esteem I have (or don’t), started fixating less on myself, and focusing more on what I can accomplish — giving myself permission to be imperfect so long as I’m putting myself out there and trying things — that I’ve actually come to feel better about myself than I ever did when I was focused on striving for superlatives and absolutes. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Working on yourself — examining what you do, why you do it, and how you could do better — is a thankless job.
It isn’t just the difficulty of the work, although that can be brutal. Painful. Humiliating. Exhausting.
No, it’s the fact that working on yourself has a way of inevitably changing your perspective. And even if you adopt an improved, healthy perspective, there are tons of unpleasant side effects. For starters, you’ll find that you relate differently to nearly everyone in your life. Some of these relationships will be bolstered, stronger, and much improved as a result of your work on yourself.
But other preexisting relationships (whether friendly, familial, romantic, or otherwise) will suffer terribly from the changes in you. Even if you were repairing dysfunction, you may very well find that those interpersonal relationships were dependent on that dysfunction. Some people need you sick to find you useful and want you around.
It’s an unsettling thought, but it’s reality. And before I went through it myself, I couldn’t have guessed which of my interpersonal relationships would thrive with the self-work and which ones would totally explode.
That said, it was a mercy, learning the difference between people who genuinely cared about me and those who were in it primarily for themselves. It was valuable information, and I’m glad I know.
But learning was so painful.
And that wasn’t the only difficult side effect. I also found that the more I worked on myself, the more aware I was of other things I needed to work on. Self-improvement isn’t a one-and-done proposition. Instead, it’s been a complicated journey — and I mean it. Not “journey” is an earth mother, woo-woo, pseudo-mystical sense… but a long harrowing trip through the wilderness.
At times, I wasn’t sure I wasn’t going to return from it in one piece.
So I get it. I get why it’s difficult for people to examine themselves and attempt to improve. It’s worlds easier to find justifications for what you do, to stay within your comfort zone, and to not do painful (though transformational) work.
Working on yourself is a thankless job. And as you do that work, you may very well find yourself questioning whether you should be doing it at all.
So I’m here to tell you what I wished I could have told my past self, what I needed so desperately to hear: Yes. Don’t give up. It’s worth it. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Visual inspection configuration can be done by owner and manager users.
Every asset in Power-MI should be configured according to the predictive technologies with which it is monitored. This can be done editing the asset. You can select the predictive technologies and configure some basic parts of each report. For visual inspection, you can set up the measurement interval, the workplace hazards, manual entry measurement, and faults diagnosis.
The measurement interval is how often visual inspection should be executed on that asset.
The workplace hazards are any condition that can cause a safety risk or harm the inspector during the visual inspection. You can use our hazards catalog to choose the risk of which the inspector must be aware of before the inspection.
Manual entry measurements are overall readings of any parameter that the inspector can collect during field analysis.
For each measurement you can assign a name, physical quantity, unit, qualifier, alert/alarm limits, and minimum/maximum value to graph the trend. When the inspector types the measurement, a trend, and the color code will be displayed on the report.
You can use our fault diagnosis catalog in each checkpoint to choose these faults that the inspector could find on this asset during the visual inspection.
The visual inspection can be done using our application for cell phones and tablets in our enterprise and professional licenses. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Israel has killed more than 27,000 people in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7. (File photo: AP)
The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) Friday expressed his concern over the condition of the European Hospital in southern Gaza, saying the situation increases the risk of disease outbreaks, reported Anadolu Agency.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that 22,000 people are sheltering at the European Hospital in southern Gaza due to the ongoing intensive fighting in Khan Younis, which also impedes access to the hospital.
"@WHO team and partners yesterday witnessed extreme crowding inside the facility — truly inhumane conditions for patients, health workers and those without a safe place to shelter," he wrote on X.
Saying that the 670-bed capacity hospital now serves 800 patients, Ghebreyesus noted that the emergency department, intensive care unit, surgery and wound care, child and neonatal care, and laboratory and radiology services have limited functionality.
"Limited access to clean water and sanitation increases the risk of disease outbreaks," said the WHO chief, reiterating his call for a cease-fire.

The color scheme provided by the Block Mesquite pavers was exactly what the doctor ordered: the perfect mixture between blend and contrast with the home’s exterior.

The recent municipal elections came and went without much ado, particularly in upmarket colonies. We were blissfully spared the din of past elections as well as the zillions of posters that plastered every available wall space. This was courtesy the new campaigning laws. At best a few leaflets were dumped in mailboxes. However it was another story in densely populated areas as the ones where our centres are located. These areas had their share of loud campaigning, slogan shouting and drum beating. We were treated to several padyatras – at best translated as political walks – where the garlanded candidate walks through lanes and by lanes preceded by drum players and followed by a motley crew. It is quite laughable as one wonders if the site of a heavily garlanded candidate with folded hands and a plastered smile urges one to vote for her/him.
This was also the time when Akash, one of our new students in the special section, went AWOL time and again. When asked the reason for his absence he smiled in his inimitable way and answered quite merrily that he had gone to raise slogans and was paid 200 rs a day to do so. Now Akash is a young mentally challenged adult. He has joined our centre recently. Prior to that he never went to school or any institution and was a free spirit roaming the streets and viewing life with the mind of a six year old. It is people like Akash who are lured by politicians to be a part of the slogan shouting cavalcades. Akash cannot begin to fathom the meaning of elections and democracy. Yet he has a voter’s card and proudly went to exercises his franchise. What a farce!
Anjali another student from the special class went ‘electioneering’ too and earned her 200 rs bounty. She went to vote I presume for the party who enticed her with goodies. It is sad but true that mentally challenged persons have the right to vote but do not have the right to inherit or even open a bank account. What hypocrites we are. Anyone is a good enough vote bank, particularly of one that is amenable and compliant.
So elections were earning time for our two challenged students.
And in slums, in spite of all the electoral commission’s diktats it was also party time as booze and snacks were distributed with alacrity and impunity. This is election India style! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

I have been homeschooling for three years now. We’ve had our ups and downs over the years with a lot of uncertainties. When I found Melanie Wilson’s Homeschool Happy Hour on Periscope, I was immediately grafted into a welcoming, loving homeschool family! Her years of experience homeschooling 6 kids as well as her psychology background, made her voice a daily encouragement to me in my homeschooling journey. She directed me to her Homeschool Sanity Podcast and I absolutely fell in love with it! I could listen to it making dinner, multi-tasking, in the mornings, in the evenings, etc. and every time I would feel empowered like my kids and I could actually thrive doing this thing called homeschooling. Melanie Wilson from Psychowith6 has been used by God to richly bless my life. I am so glad I found her!
I honestly do not know if I would still be a homeschooling mom if hadn’t found this blog. Psychowith6 was the very first blog I searched when considering homeschooling my daughter. I was tired, pregnant with my second, and very reluctant to have my kids home ALL DAY! Melanie’s challenges with step-by-step instructions gave me the confidence that I could successfully educate my kids while having fun! Psychowith6 continues to be a huge blessing for me and my family five years later. I seriously tell all my friends about her site and how it has affected our lives.
As our family began our homeschool journey three years ago, I stumbled upon the Homeschool Sanity podcast. The podcast directed me to Psychowith6.com and I’ve been a follower since.
Psychowith6.com is not the first place I go to simply because it’s a great resource, but because the woman behind the blog is real.

I am from India, after doing some research on internet I found that different type of plastic material have different spectral response in near infrared spectrum.
there are different types of plastic materials such as PP, HDPE, PVC, PET, ABS, etc and each material has different spectral response based on the polymer type irrespective of the colour of material.
My basic aim is to identify different type of plastic based on there polymer type, here different polymers may have same colour and same polymer may have different colour so irrespective of the colour I want to identify the plastic according to polymer type using hyper-spectral imaging described on Public Lab
If anybody have tried this application kindly give me details or if any more information is required kindly let me know so that you can try with your device.
If anyone wants to try with this you can do the imaging of different types of plastics using daily used items at your own place and share the results, for identifying the polymer refer the link below, the symbol of product will show you which type of plastic it is. http://naturalsociety.com/recycling-symbols-numbers-plastic-bottles-meaning/

Preparing a Will and planning your estate are important ways to help protect your assets and ensure that your loved ones are provided for after you die. Estate planning is an active process of re-evaluating your circumstances in life as they change. In addition to having a valid Will, it can involve matters such as asset protection, tax minimisation, and testamentary trust arrangements.
Leaving clear instructions about what should happen after you die can help minimise stress for your family at a time when they are grieving. Whether your affairs are simple or complex, we can provide personalised service to address your needs.
Preparing a Will
Preparing a Will is an important way to provide security for your family and loved ones after you are gone.
A Will is a legal document that records how you would like your affairs to be dealt with after your death. A Will appoints an executor/s to manage and finalise your affairs and sets out how your assets will be distributed to your beneficiaries. Your Will can also appoint guardians for any minor children you leave behind.
Anyone over the age of 18 years who has testamentary capacity (mental capacity to understand and agree to a Will) can make a Will.
We strongly recommend you obtain legal advice in drafting and executing your Will, If not drafted and executed properly, a Will can be deemed invalid by a Court or have unintended consequences, which unfortunately will not be evident until after you are gone. If your Will contains ambiguities it may need to be interpreted by a Court, which can create a delay in having your assets distributed and lead to disputes among your family.
What happens if I die without a Will?
Dying without a valid Will is referred to as dying intestate. In such cases, your assets will be distributed according to a prescribed formula set out in the laws of intestacy, which may have a very different outcome than what you wished.
The family of a deceased person who dies intestate will usually need to apply to the Court for letters of administration which can add complexity and cost when finalising the estate. Letters of administration may also be required if a Will is invalid, or if a Will does not deal with all the deceased’s property.
In Victoria, the Probate and Administration Act 1958 determines how assets will be distributed if a person dies intestate. The legislation outlines a formula for the division of assets, depending on the circumstances of the deceased. Largely, the categories of people who may be entitled to receive property where a person dies intestate are:
- Partners of the deceased
- Children of the deceased
- Parents of the deceased
- Siblings of the deceased
- Grandparents of the deceased
- Nieces and nephews of the deceased
- Aunts and uncles of the deceased
- Cousins, grand-nieces or nephews of the deceased
What is a Testamentary Trust?
As part of your estate planning, you may wish to establish a testamentary trust within your Will. The trust is created upon a person’s death and a trustee is appointed to manage the assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries. The advantages of a testamentary trust include the ability to provide for minor children or other vulnerable beneficiaries, the protection of assets and potential tax benefits.
Business Succession Planning
If you are involved in a business, it is important to have a succession plan in place. A business succession plan can provide much-needed guidance in case a business owner is suddenly incapacitated, suffers a catastrophic injury or dies unexpectedly. Having a plan in place can also make the transition of your business easier when you retire. You may want to ensure that the operation of your business can continue after you leave your position. We can provide tailored advice in this area.

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct system of primary care that addresses the root cause of illness and promotes health and healing using natural therapies, including:
- Clinical Nutrition
- Botanical Medicine
- Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
- Homeopathic Medicine
- Naturopathic manipulation
- Lifestyle Counseling
As highly educated primary care providers, Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) integrate standard medical diagnostics with a practice philosophy that views the individual holistically, incorporating the physiological, psychological, social, spiritual, environmental and lifestyle factors that affect us all. NDs seek to restore and maintain optimum health by emphasizing nature’s inherent self-healing process.
Principles of Naturopathic Medicine
First, to do no harm (Primum non nocere)
Naturopathic medicine strives to use methods that minimize the risk of harmful side effects and the suppression of symptoms, while using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat.
Co-operate with the healing power of nature (Vis medicatrix naturae)
The practice of Naturopathic Medicine recognizes an ordered and intelligent self-healing process inherent in every individual. NDs work to identify and remove obstacles to healing and to facilitate this natural self-healing process.
Address the fundamental causes of disease (Tolle causam)
The primary goal of NDs is to determine and treat the underlying cause of disease rather than simply managing or suppressing the symptoms. Symptoms are viewed as expressions of the body’s natural attempt to heal and are important indicators of where the body needs to be supported and corrected.
Heal the whole person through individualized medicine
Each person is unique and requires individualized care. Disease affects the entire person, not just a specific organ or system. The physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors contributing to the health of each individual patient are thoroughly considered.
Teach the principles of healthy living and preventive medicine (Doctor as teacher – Docere)
NDs work collaboratively with patients by sharing knowledge and information, emphasizing prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, heredity and susceptibility in each patient. Patients are encouraged to take responsibility for their complete well-being. NDs also strive to share knowledge with their greater community, in order to create a healthier world. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

These Inconel 600 sheets (UNS N06600) are used to make radiant tubes and supports for steam super-heater tube supports, as well as to heat treat muffles and retorts and support grids for catalysts used to make nitric acid. Inconel Alloy 600 Plates are also used to make combustion chambers, tube supports, and ashtrays for power plants. Inconel 600 Plate is a solid solution alloy made of nickel and chromium that works well up to about 1200°C. Inconel 600 Plate doesn’t rust in water because it has a lot of nickel and chromium. The strength and toughness are both good, and they don’t change even after being used for a long time at high temperatures. The Inconel 600 Sheet doesn’t get nitrided in dissociated ammonia, and Inconel 600 Coil is the only product that works better in this situation. Inconel 600 Rolling Sheet is strong, tough, and flexible, and it can be used at temperatures as low as -196 degrees Celsius. Inconel 600 Flat Sheet is an Inconel alloy that comes in many different forms, like Inconel Alloy 600 Plate and the Inconel 600 Perforated Plate. Inconel 600 Rolling Plate is strong at high temperatures and stays flexible even after a long time in use. It also doesn’t rust in places where oxygen is present. Inconel 600 Hot rolled Plate is very resistant to oxidation at high temperatures (up to 2200 o F) and also resists corrosion in water well. In places, where the temperature is high, can use Inconel 600 Clad Plates.

Lately, I’ve been pondering over the rights that one Muslim holds over another. Some aspects are fundamental; we often learn about them in our spiritual teachings. For instance, when invited, we generally expect to accept the invitation unless there’s a compelling reason to decline.
This contemplation and recent losses in our community led me to reflect on the numerous Janaazah notices indicating that individuals were unmarried or childless. This raised concerns about the potential absence of prayers for their salvation in the years to come. It was during this contemplation that a sister who had lost her husband reminded me of our right to contribute to the well-being of our departed loved ones.
She highlighted the opportunity to donate to a madrassa for fees, books, or even to a mosque on behalf of the deceased. This perspective on Sadaqah prompted me to rethink its purpose. By directing our charitable acts in this way, we ensure perpetual rewards for the departed soul and compel ourselves to consider the legacy we leave behind for our own Hereafter. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Automatically Detect Displays in Mac OS X using AppleScript
If you’re anything like me, you need a large display to be productive (I used a 24-inch LCD when I lived at home and was later spoiled by using Dan Tran’s 30-inch monstrosity when I was in Seattle).
Fortunately, Mac OS X has great support for multiple displays. However, one weird quirk I am often frustrated by occurs when you initially connect the external display to a MacBook or other laptop.
If you do it the proper way, the MacBook should still be sleeping (or turned off) when you connect the Mini DisplayPort (or DVI, for older models) cable to your laptop. However, in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard), my MacBook Pro would never automatically register that a new display has been connected and turn it on accordingly.
Hence, I would have to manually go to System Preferences each time I connected the external display (a very frequent occurrence personally, as I took my laptop to school everyday), go into the Displays preference pane, and then manually click on the ‘Detect Displays’ button.
Eventually, I decided this simple action HAD to be scriptable and looked into AppleScript to figure out a way to do it. Suffice it to say, I tried a bunch of different methods, without satisfying results. Eventually, some adept Googling and a lot of experimentation led me to (in my opinion) the simplest and best code for automating this simple action.
Please note that all credit for the final code goes to ‘Fess’ from the InsanelyMac forums. I’m just posting this here as a permanent and convenient reference for anyone else who runs into the same problem.
Set up an AppleScript with the following code:
tell application "System Preferences" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
click menu item "Displays" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
tell button "Detect Displays" of window 1 to click
tell application "System Preferences" to quit
Please note that you have to save this script as a “.app” file or otherwise it won’t work. If you’re not sure how to do this, TUAW has a great tutorial.
To activate this script especially quickly, I named my app “Detect Displays.app” (original, right?) and use LaunchBar to open it (I set it to the keystroke shortcut “dd”).
This simple script has saved me untold time and I hope it does the same for you! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
In order to help foreign trade enterprises better connect with overseas markets and integrate into the global supply chain, the 134th Canton Fair continues to operate under the "dual-platform" model, combining both online and offline platforms to effectively showcase the allure of Chinese manufacturing. Amid a bustling scene, the Canton Fair writes a new chapter.
Nantong Reador Textile Co., Ltd., which provides textile solutions for industries such as events, hotels, restaurants, and home textiles, can be considered a seasoned participant of the Canton Fair. Following the footsteps of the Canton Fair, Reador has achieved one breakthrough after another in the field of foreign trade, and the fair's integration of online and offline modes has provided significant assistance to the company in breaking away from traditional customer acquisition methods.
The company's sales manager told reporters that through the Canton Fair's online platform, Ruida has established partnership relationships with companies such as Vidaxl in the Netherlands, POCO in Germany, Carrefour in France, and Amazon in the United States.
At this year's Canton Fair, while the company has carefully adjusted and optimized its offline exhibition structure and introduced a batch of new products, it has also maximized the unique advantages and functions of the Canton Fair's online platform. "The online platform allows for flexible and diverse product updates, making our communication with customers more real-time and efficient. Even before the third phase began, we successfully attracted customers from countries like Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Australia, Russia, and the United States for online negotiations. Currently, we have received intention orders totaling over $350,000, as well as inquiries from 16 customers who have agreed to meet at the booth," said the company's sales manager. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Octopus Investments funds have bought Cheyne Capital’s majority stake in UK housebuilder Elivia Homes for an undisclosed amount.
Cheyne Capital first invested in Elivia Homes, formerly Vanderbilt Homes, in 2014.
Cheyne Capital said the Octopus plans to continue Elivia’s growth, with the aim of transforming it into a £250m (€293.6m) turnover business, delivering over 600 design-led and sustainable homes per year.
Rob Turner of Cheyne Capital Real Estate, said: “A key tenet of Cheyne’s real estate strategy has been to provide flexible finance solutions to housebuilders delivering high-quality homes in areas with a severe shortage of supply.
”This investment is a perfect example of this and the results are a testament to what can be achieved through the application of deep expertise and dedicated partnership.”
Ravi Stickney, managing partner and CIO of Cheyne Capital Real Estate, said: “We are very proud of what has been achieved in our eight-year journey with Elivia Homes.
”This has not been an easy environment for SME housebuilders but together we have navigated the challenges posed by such major geopolitical issues as Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic and, most recently, the outbreak of war in Ukraine, and, in spite of this tumult, the business has emerged stronger than ever.

Researched, written and produced by the Institute for Research & Education on Human Rights, the 94-page report aims at changing (or enlarging) the public conversation about the Tea Party movement. If the initial reaction to the report is any indicator, that transformation may have just begun.
As noted in the October edition of Searchlight, Tea Party spokespersons like to present their organisations as solely interested in questions of fiscal policy and the power of the federal government. The report, however, found that issues of race and national identity were rife within Tea Party ranks. Since the passage of healthcare legislation last spring, in fact, some Tea Parties have increasingly fused their cause with the anti-immigrant movement. Notably, hardcore self-avowed white nationalists have joined the Tea Party movement to press further for their white power politics.
These findings generated significant support for the report. Speaking at the teleconference releasing the report were: Larry Cohen, president of the 700,000-strong union, the Communications Workers of America; Clarissa Martinez De Castro, director of immigration and national campaigns for the National Council of La Raza; Karen Narasaki, president of the Asian American Justice Center; Rev William Barber, president of the North Carolina NAACP and a historical voice for the NAACP; and Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and executive director of the NAACP. Also presenting were representatives of the IREHR.
The multiracial, multicultural support for the report, and thus for a fuller – less simplistic –understanding of the Tea Parties, is a good sign for the future, as was the widespread interest: over 90 reporters, columnists and bloggers participated in the teleconference.
Predictably, right-wing radio talk show personalities attacked the report, as did Glenn Beck, an oversized television personality who has self-consciously supported the Tea Parties, including calling for and speaking at rallies and protests. Indeed, Beck’s voice is often heard in Tea Party circles, including his jaundiced conspiracy-besotted view of American history. Further, there are many who sneer at the Tea Parties’ middle-American political style, but have yet to grasp the danger presented by the racists, bigots and white nationalists in their ranks.
There is much to be done. The Tea Party movement is an ever-changing phenomenon. After mounting a sturdy opposition to healthcare reform, increasing numbers of Tea Partiers have become fixated on anti-immigrant issues. In addition to opposing the birthright citizenship provisions found in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, they have been building support for the terrifying crackdown on immigrants and Latinos now under way in Arizona.
Currently almost 140 candidates for elected office are running with Tea Party support. The campaigns span the United State Senate and House, governorships and other local seats. Some of them will probably lose. In Delaware, even conservative moneybags have walked away from zany Christine O’Donnell’s campaign for Senate. In Nevada, however, Tea Partiers are hoping to topple the Democratic Party Senate leader Harry Reid.
After the election, the Tea Party movement will continue to change. Significant parts of it will move closer to the Republican Party infrastructure. Some will move further away, however, as even some Tea Party Republicans will not be radical enough for parts of the rank-and-file. These sectors may move closer to the white nationalists.
The Tea Party movement is not going away, however. And anti-racists will have to work harder after the November election, just to keep the country from moving backward.

Embed a dynamic system for hardware-in-the loop simulation
Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a simulation that uses a mathematical model of the physical system in a real-time environment. This is especially useful in scenarios when the physical system is inaccessible for cost or safety reasons. Because of the real-time nature of the simulation, a controller or person will be essentially interacting with the physical system if the mathematical model is of adequate fidelity. Typical applications of HIL simulation are in testing controllers before deploying them to control the actual physical system, in analyzing the physical system, and in training.
In this project, we will deploy the nonlinear model of a two-tank system to an Arduino Micro microcontroller board. The input to the system is the flow rate into the upper tank. This controls the liquid levels which will be considered as the outputs. A potentiometer will be used to adjust the flow rate, and the liquid levels will be output as serial-over-usb signals. This can then be read using the device framework. Thus we can simulate and analyze the behavior of the two-tank system in real-time.
Connect the wiper terminal of the potentiometer to pin A0 and one terminal to GND and the other to 5V.
The Arduino Micro must also be connected to the computer using a micro USB cable.
In the two-tank system, the flow into the upper tank is used to control the liquid levels in both tanks.
The physical parameters of the system.
Use Bernoulli's law and mass balance to derive the resulting differential equations.
Use steady-state operating values .
Define the corresponding nonlinear system with input and outputs and .
Embed the model
Discretize the model with a sampling period of 0.25 seconds:
The input flow is controlled by a potentiometer and the flow is scaled to vary from 1 to 2:
Set up the model to return the input flow along with the heights in the two tanks.
Load the package.
Embed the model:
Read the simulated signals
Open a serial connection to the target:
The start, delimiter, and end bytes.
A function to parse the data coming though the serial connection:
Set up a task to read the values every second (and apply a step input using the potentiometer):
Remove the task and terminate the device connectionafter about 30 minutes:
The height of the liquid in the two tanks to a step input from the potentiometer:
Retrieve the step input that was applied to the system:
Compare the real-time and simulated results:
We see that the real-time simulation results are on par with that of the simulation in the Wolfram system. However, the real-time simulation was running for the approximately 30 minutes that it took for the liquid levels to rise from 2.7 meters to 3.3 meters when the flow rate was increased from 1 to 1.11 .
More things to try
- Try other ways to visualize the liquid levels.
- Send the output signals using some other channel.
- Simulate disturbances to the liquid levels.
- Design a controller that regulates the liquid levels and do a HIL simulation.
- Do a HIL simulation of another system like a simple pendulum, a DC motor, etc. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

New US sanctions against Russia have caused an immediate suspension of trading in dollars and euros on the country’s leading financial marketplace, the Moscow Exchange.
The exchange, also known as MOEX, and the Russian central bank rushed out statements Wednesday, a public holiday in Russia, within an hour of Washington announcing a new round of sanctions aimed at cutting the flow of money and goods to sustain Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
“Due to the introduction of restrictive measures by the United States against the Moscow Exchange Group, exchange trading and settlements of deliverable instruments in US dollars and euros are suspended,” the central bank said.
The move means banks, companies and investors will no longer be able to trade either currency via a central exchange, which offers advantages such as better liquidity and oversight.
Instead, they will have to trade over the counter, where deals are conducted directly between two parties. The central bank said it would use data from those trades to set official exchange rates.
Many Russians hold savings in dollars or euros, mindful of periodic crises in recent decades when the ruble has crashed in value. The central bank reassured people these deposits were secure.
“Companies and individuals can continue to buy and sell US dollars and euros through Russian banks. All funds in US dollars and euros in the accounts and deposits of citizens and companies remain safe,” it said.
One person at a large, non-sanctioned Russian commodities exporter told Reuters: “We don’t care, we have yuan. Getting dollars and euros in Russia is practically impossible.”
With Moscow pursuing closer trade and political ties with Beijing, China’s yuan has ousted the dollar to become MOEX’s most traded currency, accounting for 53.6% of all foreign currency traded in May.
Dollar-ruble trading volume on MOEX tends to be around 1 billion rubles ($11 million) a day, while euro-ruble trading hovers at around 300 million rubles ($3 million) daily. For yuan-ruble trading, daily volumes now regularly top 8 billion rubles ($90 million).
On the eve of the national holiday, the ruble closed at 89.10 to the dollar and at 95.62 against the euro. Following the sanctions news, some banks immediately jacked up their dollar rates.
Norvik Bank said Wednesday that it was offering to buy dollars for just 50 rubles but sell for 200 rubles, though it later adjusted the rates to 88.20/97.80. Tsifra Bank was buying dollars at 89 rubles and selling at 120.
The US Treasury said it was “targeting the architecture of Russia’s financial system, which has been reoriented to facilitate investment into its defense industry and acquisition of goods needed to further its aggression against Ukraine.”
Russia’s central bank has been bracing for such sanctions for around two years. In July 2022, the bank said it was modeling various sanctions scenarios with foreign exchange market participants and infrastructure organizations.
“This is bad but expected news,” Russian broker T-Investments said on Telegram.
Forbes Russia had reported in 2022 that the central bank was discussing a mechanism for managing the ruble-dollar exchange rate should exchange trading be halted in the event of sanctions against MOEX and its National Clearing Centre, which was also hit by the new sanctions.
MOEX said share trading and money market trades settled in dollars and euros would also cease. The money market comprises low-risk, short-term debt instruments like government bonds and commercial debt.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of therapy balls as seating on in-seat behavior and legible word productivity of students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Additionally, social validity was assessed to evaluate teacher and student opinions regarding the intervention.
METHOD. A single subject, A-B-A-B interrupted time series design was employed across 3 students (2 males, 1 female) with ADHD. The study was conducted in a 4th grade inclusive classroom during daily language arts. During phases 1 and 3, the 3 participants and all other class members sat on chairs (in-seat on chair); during phases 2 and 4, everyone sat on therapy balls (in-seat on ball). Dependent variables were in-seat behavior and legible word productivity. Data were graphed and visually analyzed for differences between phases.
RESULTS. Results demonstrated increases in in-seat behavior and legible word productivity for the students with ADHD when seated on therapy balls. Social validity findings indicated that generally the teacher and students preferred therapy balls.
CONCLUSION. This study provides evidence that use of therapy balls for students with ADHD may facilitate in-seat behavior and legible word productivity. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

MPH Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health 2001 |
Dr. Jackson is the Chief of the Division of Palliative Care at Massachusetts General Hospital and Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School. She also serves as the Co-Director of the Harvard Medical School Center for Palliative Care. Her research and scholarly interests are in the early integration of palliative care into cancer care.
Her work in education focuses on developing and evaluating palliative care curricula especially in the area of communication skills necessary for the provision of early outpatient palliative care.
Early Integrated Outpatient Palliative Care:
I developed the embedded outpatient palliative care clinic in the Cancer Center at MGH. From the inception of the clinic, I have worked with Dr. Temel as the primary palliative care lead investigator in all of our early intervention work.
Early in the course of our work, we conducted a pilot study that revealed that palliative care could be successfully integrated into the Cancer Center for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
We developed the subsequent randomized study of early intervention palliative care which demonstrated that patients who received early palliative care had improved quality of life, were less likely to be depressed, and prolonged survival that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
We have continued to work to understand the aspects of palliative care that are associated with these outcomes and are working to design interventions that incorporate these palliative care approaches for oncologists. We are also testing these approaches in multi-center trials as well as other clinical settings such as bone marrow transplant.
Palliative Care Communication Education:
I have worked to describe the early intervention palliative care communication approaches as these have not previously been well described in the literature.
Additionally I have worked to describe the communication education approaches including the use of role play in teaching communication skills. Finally, I have developed and delivered a communication curriculum for physicians to deliver prognostic information. This work has been the basis for communication education for our multi-center trials. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to determine prevalence and risk factors of Cognitive Impairment (CI) and its association with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in subjects aged 65 years and above. Additionally, we attempt to provide a cognitive profile for T2DM group.
METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional analytical study to assess CI was carried out. We evaluated a sample of community-dwelling residents from Chile. All participants underwent a general interview, lifestyle questionnaires and a comprehensive neuropsychological battery. Regression analyses were performed to evaluate risk of CI with T2DM and influencing factors. Results between groups in the different domains of the neuropsychological assessment were compared by Student's t-tests and MANOVA.
RESULTS: Among all 358 subjects, overall T2DM prevalence were 17.3%. The prevalence of CI was higher in T2DM group compared to the healthy participants (30.7%, p < 0.001). The risk of CI was 2.8 times higher in older people with T2DM compared to older people without the diagnosis. Multiple regression analysis, adjusted for age and gender, demonstrated that age, education, presence of dyslipidemia, and T2DM duration were the predictor variables significantly associated with CI. T2DM group performed worse on global cognitive performance, attention, language, verbal memory, visual memory, visual constructional ability, and executive function. After adjusting for significant covariates from multiple regression analysis, a relationship between "cognition" and T2DM is still observed. Amnesic multi-domain impairment was the specific cognitive identified pattern for T2DM group.
CONCLUSION: The present study confirms the high prevalence of CI with T2DM among Chilean older adults in a community-based population. T2DM is significantly associated with a higher risk of CI, and age, education, presence of dyslipidemia, and duration of T2DM are risk factors. T2DM patients with CI are impaired in multiple cognitive domains, even after adjusting covariables, resulting in an amnesic multi-domain cognitive profile.

ROCKINGHAM — Although things may look a little different as a new season of Richmond Senior High School girls’ basketball approaches, the Lady Raiders are dialed in to try and repeat their success from a season ago.
The team’s best season in the last decade, the Lady Raiders notched 20 wins last winter, won their first Sandhills Athletic Conference championship in 11 years and made it to the second round of the 4A state playoffs.
Much of that driving force was point guard Jamyia Lindsey, who had a breakout freshman season.
But the reigning SAC “Player of the Year” who averaged 24 points per game will miss the entirety of her sophomore campaign due to a leg injury she suffered over the summer.
While fifth-year head coach Teddy Moseley noted that the loss of Lindsey, along with former starters Jai’Maya Ratliff (All-SAC, graduation) and senior Kyla Sampson (leg injury), is a tough blow, he said the new season is just that — a fresh start to continue the growth of the program.
The Lady Raiders will enter the 2022-23 season with a younger, less experienced roster than it had last winter, but several key players also return with varsity experience.
Among them are seniors C’Nedra Hinson (point guard) and Nyla Stroman (forward), along with junior forward C’Niya Hinson. The other 10 players are a combination of underclassmen making the jump to the varsity level this year.
C’Nedra Hinson has served as a top defender the past two seasons, while also averaging just under 4 points per game as a junior. Stroman made 23 appearances last season and notched 2 points per game, but again was a big helper on defense.
Five juniors will join the mix, including Jamia Crowder (forward), Elise Dimery (center), Makailah Jackson (center), Yasmeen McLaughlin (guard) and Keyoni Nichols (guard).
Sophomores Quanna Bostic (guard) and Simone Terry (forward) add depth, while freshmen guards Olivia Brown and J’Nasia Neal, along with center Ella Parker, will help the team.
A starting lineup hasn’t been established yet this season, but Moseley has been working players in different roles through a series of preseason scrimmages. The Lady Raiders will use a mixture of size, speed and physicality to set the tone this season.
Moseley said some of the big keys to success will be playing sound defense on a nightly basis and being able to control the aspects of the game the Lady Raiders expect to control, like making open baskets and remaining positive.
The main thing, however, is Moseley hopes to see the Lady Raiders remain “competitive” both in and out of conference.
Richmond won the SAC title outright last season, finishing a perfect 12-0 against conference opponents. Repeating as conference champion is a goal the Lady Raiders would like to accomplish, but Moseley expects the likes of Pinecrest and Union Pines to give the team a run for the crown.
In the 4A East playoffs, the Lady Raiders showed promise last year as a No. 8 seed and making it to the second round. Despite not having the same lineup, Moseley believes returning to the postseason is an attainable goal over the next few months.
The Lady Raiders will officially open their regular season on Friday at home against non-conference Purnell Swett High School. Opening tip is set for 6 p.m.
The Richmond Observer will continue its coverage of the Richmond girls’ varsity basketball team this winter. There is no junior varsity basketball team this season.

Collagen is a vital protein that gives our skin its strength and elasticity. As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. However, there are ways to boost collagen production and promote healthier, more youthful-looking skin. Here are five effective strategies to help you achieve that goal.
1. Maintain a Healthy Diet
Eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can significantly boost collagen production in your skin. Include foods like berries, citrus fruits, leafy greens, nuts, and lean proteins in your meals. These foods provide essential nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, and copper, which are crucial for collagen synthesis.
2. Use Collagen-Boosting Skincare Products
Invest in skincare products that contain collagen-boosting ingredients like retinoids, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. Retinoids stimulate collagen production, peptides signal the skin to produce more collagen, and hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin and supports collagen synthesis.
3. Protect Your Skin from UV Damage
Excessive sun exposure can damage collagen fibers and accelerate the aging process. Always use sunscreen with a high SPF rating to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Additionally, wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and seek shade during peak sun hours to minimize sun damage and preserve collagen levels.
4. Stay Hydrated
Hydration is key to maintaining healthy skin and supporting collagen production. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from within. Dehydrated skin is more prone to wrinkles and sagging, so aim to drink at least eight glasses of water daily.
5. Get Adequate Sleep
Quality sleep is essential for overall health and plays a crucial role in collagen production. During deep sleep, the body repairs and regenerates tissues, including collagen fibers in the skin. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night to promote optimal collagen synthesis and rejuvenate your skin.
By incorporating these five strategies into your skincare routine and lifestyle, you can effectively boost collagen production in your skin, leading to a more youthful, radiant complexion. Remember to be consistent and patient, as collagen renewal takes time, but the results are well worth the effort. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
RLC is concerned about the potential for the new legislation to place unjustified restrictions on public gatherings and the right to protest in public places.
Like the legislation they superseded, the new laws give the state government sweeping powers to ban or disperse public gatherings, including rallies and protests, on Crown land. The Crown estate covers 42 per cent of NSW, and includes roads, parks and beaches, as well as community halls and town squares.
Under the Act, police are granted broad powers to stop people from carrying out a range of prescribed activities on Crown land. Activities which may be prohibited include:
Taking part in any gathering, meeting or assembly (except, in the case of a cemetery, for the purpose of a religious or other ceremony of burial or commemoration)
Displaying or causing any sign or notice to be displayed
Distributing any circular, advertisement, paper or other printed, drawn, written or photographic matter
Climbing any tree, building, fence, seat, table, enclosure or other structure, and
Operating an audio or audio visual device at a volume likely to cause a nuisance to any person.
Penalties have also been increased under the new legislation, with individuals facing fines of up to $1100 for failing to comply with a direction.
Unlike general move-on directions under the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act (‘LEPRA’), there are no preconditions for the exercise of the police power under the new legislation – such as a requirement for police to form a reasonable suspicion that a person’s presence in a public place is for the purposes of committing a criminal offence, or harassing another person, before issuing a direction.
Nor does the new Act come with a built-in safeguard, such as the limitation in LEPRA which prevents police from issuing directions in relation to an apparently genuine demonstration, protest, or organised assembly if it poses no serious risk or obstruction. RLC is alarmed that the Act grants police a potentially unfettered discretion to break up public gatherings, and has the potential to criminalise legitimate acts of public protest.
Today the NSW Supreme Court published its reasons in a test case about COVID-19 fines. The decision clarifies the requirements necessary for a fine to be valid, and calls into disrepute all the remaining 29,017 COVID-19 fines that have not been withdrawn.
A new report has claimed disadvantaged and First Nations children in New South Wales were targeted by police during the COVID-19 pandemic, with fines up to $5000 being issued, pushing families into financial hardship. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Tessa, social robot
Tessa, a social robot supports the daily structure and gives suggestions for activities. Activation is where it runs. With text and music.
Central place in the house
Tessa is a social robot that pronounces the next scheduled appointment or task. It supports the daily structure and gives suggestions for activities.
The social robot stands at a central location in the resident's house and pronounces the day programme. The program of the day is as simple as a diary. As a family member, carer or caregiver you write a message and select the time when Tessa should report it. You can schedule a message at any time, from any location and when it suits you.
Dementia phase 2 and 3
People who exercise enough are less likely to develop dementia. Especially people who already have dementia, exercise is very good. Activation is what it's all about. Besides text, this is also possible with music. the desktop robot plays personal music at scheduled moments.
Tessa is mainly intended for people with dementia, phase 2 and 3, who still live at home. Informal carers or family members are able to use a handy app to regularly have the tinybot statements made via a calendar function or a direct message to speak. The messages can be very diverse, possibly initiated by home automation with the main goal of activating people with dementia in this phase.
NB There is no mutual communication. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
1977: A HISTORY OF REGGAE AND PUNK - PART 1
Big Youth X Johnny Rotten
1977 marks the year when the two sevens clashed. On July 7th that year, daily routine in the city of Kingston ground to a halt. Babylon took note.
While the Rastafarian message was making itself heard in Jamaica, punks in England stirred their own disruption to give the authorities pause.
The punks and the rastas united in their disillusionment and set out to build a new world from the ruins of colonialism. Lacking means to influence politics directly, it was their way of life, their style and their music which gave form to the shared instinctive sense that somehow the powers that be were not serving their interests.
Originating from traditional calls for social justice and the teachings of Marcus Garvey, Rastafarianism found musical expression in reggae. To voice their own creative renunciation, punks at first used stripped-down rock music as the soundtrack for rebellion, but it didn’t take long for the punks to incorporate reggae with their sound.
Don Letts X Bob Marley
The Roxy Club
Punks at the Roxy Club in London listened to reggae played by house DJ Don Letts. The location of the Roxy Club had previously been home to a late-night bar called the Chaguaramas Club, owned by reggae producer Tony Ashfield. The roots of punk were inextricably tied to London’s reggae community.
Reggae in ‘70’s London was largely associated with the community of Caribbean immigrants which had settled there after World War 2. These immigrants shared housing developments and factories with their conservative-minded, working-class British peers.
As far back as the teddy boy subculture of the ‘50’s, urbanized teenaged Anglos had been using style and music to define themselves. The first teenaged English rebels prioritized drinking, partying and looking sharp. The mods and the skinheads would have all listened to ska and rocksteady love songs played by Jamaican immigrants in their working-class neighborhoods.
By the mid ‘70’s, increasingly difficult economic conditions had driven a generation of anarchist and art school kids to reject the establishment entirely. For the earliest punks, anarchism was a sort of posturing tailored to shock. For some, this posturing evolved into an ethos and lifestyle. Increasingly aware of their radical politics, punks could relate to reggae and rasta culture’s opposition to racism, war, organized religion, and the global capitalist-industrial system.

You can learn a lot about our culture by observing the world around us. Spring is around the corner and with spring comes heat and with heat comes life and that life comes in to your house in the form of… bugs. Specifically ants. It doesn’t appear to matter how clean you keep your kitchen, they always seem to find a way in. Since this is a large enough nuisance to us humans, demand has created an abundant supply of Rid-Antz, or products of a similar nature. It’s brilliant. You just set this little cardboard container of an irresistible sweet gel in the corner of your kitchen and these little harmless critters will swarm it by the hundreds. It is not just a few ants that find their way, you will see an entire colony emerge in their little ant-line and cover this lethal gel and not only consume it, but also bring back as much as they can carry back to their little ant-home, for those who didn’t make the trip.
In a couple days, your kitchen is ant-free… Because the entire colony is dead.
It’s interesting how an entire colony of ants can be wiped out by something they are all consuming by their own free will. You did not go in and set off a chemical bomb in their home. You did not step on each individual ant. You set something out that appeared harmless at first taste, but it was laced with a chemical that would destroy their lives and end their existence.
I’m not going to sugar-coat this transition. We are in the middle of a cultural health-care crisis. The foods we are eating are leading to a MASSIVE epidemic of childhood obesity. The blood pressure and cholesterol medications we are consuming to cover up symptoms of dysfunction are leading to a MASSIVE epidemic of heart disease. Our chemical-consumption (antibiotics, vaccines, over-the-counter meds, prescription meds, foods, skin care products, contaminated water supply) is leading to a MASSIVE epidemic of cancers and degenerative diseases. To top this all off, the majority of Americans (you may be included) have absolutely no idea how poorly they are healing and functioning, since they are stuck in the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality and judging their health based on how they “feel” in the morning. And every day they get a little bit sicker, eat a little bit more of that lethal gel that one day will destroy our colony.
If you want to have a different outcome than the 5 of 6 Americans that are going to be diagnosed with heart disease or cancer in their lifetime, then I promise you, you need to do something radically different than all the other ants obliviously eating poisoned gel. Our culture leads you to believe that your body is designed to fail over time, and that disease is somehow a result of bad luck or bad genes, that you have no choice and your actions don’t matter. “It’s really no fault of your own, blame your parents.” This is a LIE. This is the “Rid-Antz” of the modern sick-care system. We are flocking to the little cardboard trap, forming a line, and waiting for the insurance industry to recommend which doctor you can see, which diagnosis code he can stick you with, what treatment he can give you based on that code, how often can he see you and which drug can you pick up at Walgreens. The entire time, we are watching those that went before us drop off left and right in the worst health-care crisis this country has seen, but since all the other ants are doing it, we will too.
Enough is enough!! I am ready to see you and your families get healthy and well. I’m ready to see you and your colony reach 100-years-old like they do in OTHER cultures, medication-free, caring for themselves, remembering their names, never setting foot in a nursing home, and “having life and having life to the full,” as John 10:10 states. We are smarter than ants. We are smart enough to recognize when our culture is leading us astray. You have to ask yourself, “If I intend to be around to chase my great-grandbabies down the beach, will I get there if I do the same thing everyone else in this country is doing?” I’d challenge that the answer to that question is “NO.”
So if the answer is no, now is your time! Now is your time to stay plugged in, now is your time to COMMIT to yourself. Keep on trekking… you are WORTH IT. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
