The Covid-19 pandemic is having a striking effect on the tourism industry worldwide. However, some countries are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. One of these countries is China, whose tourism is showing very promising signs of recovery as the health situation in the country stabilizes. For obvious reasons, domestic tourism is the subsector of the Chinese tourism sector that has benefited most from the recent relaxation of travel restrictions by the government. Promising Spring Festival Numbers In this context, the Spring Festival holiday in February played a vital role. According to official data, the number of travelers to the most prominent tourist destinations of the country, like Shanghai or Beijing, reached a similar level to those achieved two years ago. It is interesting to note that more conventional types of travel grew in popularity. City tours and family trips were particularly popular among Chinese holidaymakers. Air Travel Recovering Subsequently, airlines have also benefited from the growth of the Chinese tourism sector. In February, almost 24 million passengers traveled by plane within the country. This constitutes an incredible growth of 187.1 % compared to 2020. These numbers are very promising, as they essentially correspond to the data from the same period in 2019. The will of the Chinese people to travel is very clear from this surge. Travel Restrictions in Beijing As a result of the positive epidemiological situation, the Chinese capital has decided to lift some travel restrictions to facilitate the recovery of the sector. For example, people arriving from certain areas will no longer be obliged to present a negative Covid-19 test. Moreover, temperature checks will be limited, and most facilities will be able to welcome 75 % of their capacities. Thus, further growth of the industry in Beijing can be expected in the coming weeks. Rise in Reservations Generally speaking, the situation looks much brighter than in other parts of the world. According to data, reservations for the Qingming Festival in April have seen a rise of 4.5 % compared to the numbers from 2020. That is perhaps not surprising, seeing as the pandemic was in full swing last year. What is striking, however, is the fact that the number of bookings for the May 1, the first day of the Labor Day holidays, is now higher than for the same date in 2019. Chinese Vaccine as a Benefit There are also signs of recovery in terms of international travel for the Chinese tourism sector. The Chinese government has decided to facilitate visa applications for foreigners who wish to travel to the country for business. Under this new regulation, foreigners who have been vaccinated with a Chinese vaccine will be able to apply for a business visa on the basis of the requirements in place before the pandemic began. The same applies to family members of Chinese citizens living abroad. It is also interesting to note, that according to the Foreign Minister of China Wang Yi, China is ready to negotiate mutual vaccination recognition with other countries. As it stands, it seems that Chinese tourism is on its way to full recovery and beyond, at least in the domestic sector. It is also confirmed by official estimates, which predict 4.1 billion trips around the country during the year. This amounts to an astonishing increase of 42 % compared to last year. Revenues are also expected to grow, concretely by 48 % to $ 507 billion.
Jamaica Tourism Minister will continue his push for the introduction of a multi-destination tourism framework within the region. The Hon. Edmund Bartlett is heading to Barbados for the annual Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association’s (CHTA) Caribbean Travel Marketplace trade show. The highly anticipated event runs from May 9 to May 11, 2023. He has renewed his call for the private sector to get involved. “Regional governments and the private sector need to collaborate more closely to develop multi-destination tourism and advance market integration by fostering and harmonizing legislation on air connectivity, visa facilitation, product development, promotion and human capital development,” he said. “Jamaica has always played a leading role in the CHTA and coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year is even more special for our participation as our own Nicola Madden-Greig is the president with the responsibility of charting the course for the Caribbean moving forward,” added Minister Bartlett. The schedule for the trade event will entail the participation of other Jamaicans during an innovative Caribbean Travel Forum and Awards Luncheon on Tuesday, May 9. This forum is a new event for the CHTA and will focus on the business of tourism in the Caribbean with specific emphasis on topics such as intra-Caribbean travel relating to air connectivity and multi-destination marketing, sustainability, technology, labor market constraints and taxation. CHTA President Nicola Madden-Greig will deliver her state of the region and industry address while Prime Minister of Barbados, Hon. Mia Mottley will give the keynote address. Minister Bartlett will participate in an in-depth panel discussion among regional Ministers of Tourism and private sector leaders on pressing issues affecting the business of tourism with emphasis on multi-destination marketing and new markets for Caribbean tourism. Other panelists will include Minister of Tourism and Transport, Cayman Islands, and current Chairman of the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), Hon Kenneth Bryan; Minister of Tourism and International Transport, Barbados, Hon. Ian Gooding-Edghill, and Chief Executive Officer of Chukka Caribbean, Marc Melville, with Mrs. Madden-Greig as moderator. Another panel discussion will focus on responsible and resilience tourism: “Positive Mind Change = Positive Climate Change.” It will explore impactful and innovative ideas as well as solutions to drive responsible and resilient tourism with an emphasis on human capital development. The session will be moderated by General Manager, Jamaica Inn and Chairperson, Caribbean Alliance for Sustainable Tourism (CAST), Kyle Mais. Other topics for discussion include technology and its impact on Caribbean tourism and the impact and state of artificial intelligence (AI) in the hospitality industry. The CHTA Awards Luncheon recognizing Destination Resilience and Caribbean Icons of Hospitality will close off the forum allowing participants to prepare for the CHTA Marketplace official opening, followed by two packed days of back-to-back meetings. Minister Bartlett’s slate of activities kick off with a Jamaica Press Conference on Wednesday, May 10, and includes meetings with prospective investors, participation in the CHTA Marketplace sessions, and the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the CHTA and the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCMC). Mr. Bartlett, who is being accompanied by Director of Tourism, Donovan White, returns to Jamaica on Friday, May 12.
The Many Questions of Slip and Fall Accidents Slip and Fall Lawyer If you have slipped and fallen while at work, shopping or on someone’s property, you may wonder what options you have in getting help paying for medical bills because of the injury. Here in the article below, we have listed some of the most commonly inquired questions of slip and fall accidents. While the Q&A here was written with the intention to be helpful, we highly encourage you to reach out to a reliable lawyer in your area who is familiar with cases like yours for more information. What if I were to slip and fall? Then what? In the moment of the slip and fall, the highest priority is your health. If something seems wrong within your body but you just can’t put your finger on it yet, it may be safer to just call for help instead of waiting hours or days to find out the extent of your injuries. Should I file a report of the accident? And if so, to whom? If you were to fall in a retail shop, you will want to follow up with a supervisor or manager before leaving the premises. Request that your statement is taken down in an incident report, and that you receive a copy before you leave. If you were to slip and take a tumble while at an apartment complex, then you will probably want to contact the landlord for that unit. Who you turn to when reporting the accident depends on what type of property you suffered the slip and fall. How important is it that I take pictures of where I fell? It can be hugely impactful to your case if you have photographs of the spot where you fell, and what around you may have contributed to the collapse. For example, if you slipped and fell because of a puddle of liquid in the isle of a store, taking a photograph of it may seem silly but can be used as influential proof later on. A lawyer can weave through your photographs to decide which images are most useful for your lawsuit. Can you give me examples of ways a slip and fall could happen? There are perhaps an unlimited number of ways that a person could slip, trip and fall accidentally. However, there are certain environments or hazards that contribute to falls more frequently than others. Here is a brief list of some of the more prevalent reasons why such accidents happen: - Inadequate lighting in a pathway or aisle - Cracks, holes, depressions or uneven pavement - Overly mopped or waxed floors - Exposed stray cords in a walking area - Lack of handrails on stairs - Curled, frayed or worn carpeting corners If I want to file a lawsuit for the slip and fall, who do I sue? The individual, party or company you may sue depends on where exactly your slip and fall occurred. For example, if you were to fall in your workplace, then you may end up suing the company. Or, if you fell in your rental property because the handrails needed replacing but went unattended to, then your landlord may be held liable with the help of a trip and fall lawyer in Memphis. Thanks to Patterson Bray, for their insight into personal injury claims and slip and fall injury accidents.
Video game World of Tanks Blitz gradually appears on all new platforms, and long gone are the days when it existed only on mobile gadgets. In the very near future to assess its capabilities with can and “blogopoly”, because very little time is left before its release on the Apple Mac OS X.

For a comfortable game table version World of Tanks Blitz under Mac OS X you need a computer with 2 GB RAM and the OS, updated to at least version 10.9.
Abkhaz opposition calls for a referendum on early presidential elections. It is a big mess in the “Russian underbelly”. The initiative group of citizens of Abkhazia, composed of 46 people, has applied to the Central election Commission of the partially recognized Republic with the requirement to hold a referendum on the appointment of early presidential elections. Question is formulated so: “do you Consider necessary carrying out of early election of the President of Abkhazia?”. This group is headed by Daur Tania. As he explained to journalists that a referendum is necessary in connection with the “critical political situation” and “in the developments”. It is clear that the referendum did not arise in the narrow circle of the Abkhazian society — she now occupies the minds and emotions of great socio-political segment of Abkhazia, which for the relevant activities will have to score at least 10 thousand signatures of voters. And it’s real, because almost the entire opposition front Country of the soul, — and he, presumably, the number exceeds the Pro — government front- longs for the departure of President Raul Khajimba resigned. Note that since his election as head of Abkhazia was only a year and a half. The opposition accuses President to “change the political course of the country, in flagrant disregard of the Constitution, ownership … to corruption and other crimes that undermine the foundations of the state”. But a group of veterans of the Patriotic war of people of Abkhazia, awarded the title “Hero of Abkhazia”, said that in 2014 Khajimba came to power in a coup, “has exacerbated the rift in society”. “The discontent of the people the policy of government growing like a snowball. However, we must not allow the transformation of our country into a banana Republic and overthrow presidents every year and a half. Therefore, we believe the referendum is the most reasonable step to bringing the country out of crisis”, — said in a statement veterans. They also cautioned the authorities against attempts to prevent the referendum. “Otherwise, all responsibility for possible legal consequences will fall on the Republic’s leadership and personally to Raul Khajimba,” said “Heroes of Abkhazia”. However, among the veterans and those who did not believe a referendum is necessary. Also in Abkhaz society believe that the authorities of the referendum will be desperate to resist. As reported by the member of initiative group on its holding, the Chairman of public organization “Women in politics” Irina Agrba, there is information, according to which “the heads of administrations of cities and villages received from above to impede the collection of signatures, and what’s scarier is they’re offering to collect signatures against the referendum. … On our way there will certainly be barriers, but we are not afraid of them. … We Express our interests, desires and aspirations of a significant part of our country.” And this part is really impressive, and United — recently in the Republic of the Union of national unity, which brought together not only the so-called “old opposition”, but some political forces, which until recently had supported Khajimba and his team. In the new block, among others, is the most authoritative and experienced “amtsakhara” and the Communist party. Both have extensive experience of the party struggle. For a referendum are also the Foundation for socio-economic and political studies of the APRA, public organization “Karasai” and others. According to the statement of “amtsakhara”, the party “reserves the right to hold the national Assembly in case the current leadership of the country, which is alien to respect the Basic law, will attempt to prevent the referendum”. In General, now in the air of Abkhazia, in addition to the Mimosa scent, smell civil confrontation is not foreign to her smell, periodically neytralizuya Moscow and appearing again. But in Abkhazia there are opponents of the referendum. For example, the newly established public organization “Our home — Abkhazia” and the party Forum of national unity (FNUA). The latter considers that in the country there is nothing extraordinary in order to promote the idea of a Declaration of no confidence in the President. The FNUA, however, I remember that he was one of the organizers of the coup d’état in may 2014, and now “has the audacity” to accuse the opposition of trying to destabilize the situation and to “undermine the strengthening of state institutions.” Worried and some “ordinary citizens”: he says, again playing havoc in front of the tourist season, as it was in 2014, and “who now will go to us politicians fighting, and visa has introduced; it will be empty on our beaches”. Power, of course, trying to “reason with” the opposition-leaning electorate. In particular, the press service of the President of Abkhazia issued a statement in which a very peculiar way tried to convince the people that the authorities are “innocent”. That’s what they say: “over Abkhazia for the past one and a half years develops complex financial, economic and geopolitical situation” and “Crisis phenomena in economy of the Russian Federation, as well as the consequences of inefficient economic policies of the past directly affected the quality and standard of living” of Abkhazia. But, “despite these objective difficulties, we build closer and more productive relations with Russia that, in particular, has already enabled us to significantly increase wages and pensions in the Republic of Abkhazia. The recent talks between the presidents of Abkhazia and Russia has led to concrete results associated with the provision of further improving the quality of life of citizens of Abkhazia”. Here a legitimate question arises: why should they not try to come off the neck of Russia and not to put your, to put it mildly, the failures, the crisis in the Russian economy? But most of the Abkhaz question so do not put, because they feel that what they are doing to Russia much more than Russia to make Abkhazia, as well as in the latest Russian military bases are deployed. That is, love to skate, love and sleigh to carry. But the sleigh becomes heavier and more maneuverable. However, in the statement of the press service of the head of the Republic said that the main task for the President of Abkhazia is the “internal resources”. And also that “we must make every effort to develop its economy, strengthen the rule of law, to consummate the reforms and to ensure the qualitative growth of the level of life of our citizens even during the financial and economic crisis in the ruble zone”. And for this purpose “it is necessary to unite efforts of our people” and not “implementation questionable from a constitutional point of view, politicized promotions, objectively aimed at destabilizing the situation in the country”. In the administration of the President of the Country of the soul are of the opinion that the opposition “deliberately refuses a civilized dialogue, making the choice in favor of confrontation and instability in the society”. Here also Express the belief that such “irresponsible policy will be appreciated” from the population of Abkhazia. As for the authorities, they promise to “fully ensure the stability and legality in the Republic of Abkhazia”. There you have it. Now the question is, will the authorities to hold a referendum. On the one hand, it would be right to accept it, otherwise they will be accused of cowardice because they were not allowed to hold a referendum because they are afraid of its results and do not behave democratically. On the other hand, the popular vote really may not be in favor of the authorities, and then Khajimba, a long and painful way to the presidency, will remain outside of the power game and once again moved into opposition. And third: the coups of Abkhazia is nothing new, and the accompanying civil strife. This means the following: the authority will give the nod to a referendum or will not give, no matter the opposition, if you’re dead, you still will be “finished” Khajimba, even if in the domestic political process in the Republic will intervene Russia, who is considered a protege of the current Abkhazian President, that removed from this post Alexander Ankvab. So the opposition is driven by additional interest — revanchist. At the same time the authorities of Abkhazia have the option to distract the public from the referendum. For example, to gain time, Abkhazians can throw the idea of a transition to a parliamentary form of government, to offer to hold a referendum on the issue, which will be preceded by a long work on changing the Constitution and people’s Assembly. And the government can say — Yes please, we are not against referendum, but the money for him now, so bear with, dear fellow. But, say, signatures are collected, a referendum has allocated money, and Khajimba won it. Then by all means start talking about the falsification of results, you connect all the power of the administrative resource and “Institute of intimidation”. And then will begin a large-scale civil confrontation. But it will happen and if Khajimba referendum will lose, as quietly and peacefully, as did his predecessor Alexander Ankvab, and without any referendum, but before the threat of a civil war and he leaves. In General, Chinna democratic political processes in Abkhazia is impossible by definition, because they do not fit into the local mentality. Right on man: “And he, rebellious, asks for storms, as if in storms there is peace”. And it’s a long time. Because the mentality of the people, the consciousness determines being. But this is “unforgettable” by Karl Marx. And now is the time to solve the problem of “basis” and “superstructure”, including but not limited to Sukhum, and Moscow, priletevshiy Abkhazia to its underbelly.
I had the privilege to be a part of this performance as a set designer, which in particular became a reflection on the power of the performer to transfigurate the most simple materials and symbols through their scale, their weight and movement. Being in such a powerful landscape, locating and moving these materials around, against strong winds and a dry grass floor on a sunset hour, the stage was already the performance, we just needed to fit in as humbly as we could.

Before taking on this expedition we all had many discussions around what we are going to eat to keep us all energised for 10 weeks cycling from Johannesburg to Moshi. To date we have all definitely not gone hungry on this trip and seem to be handling the food situation relatively well. Here is a summary of our daily menu so far: - TriBeCa Coffee (an absolute must to start every morning) - Scrambled or Boiled eggs with mushrooms, tomato and onion mix and bread or tortillas - OR Cereal with milk and bananas - 2 sandwiches each with peanut butter and honey or jam (eaten whilst riding) - 3 or 4 Racefoods (Mixture of Farbar and Fastbars) - 1 boiled egg each on the longer rides - Sliced oranges - Our first four nights in South Africa we were all very grateful to Cam’s mom who prepared us four different stew type dishes which we complemented with wholesome and nutritious Freekeh every night - Since then we have had a few braai’s (steaks, boerewors and chicken with a starch such as sweet potato or freekeh) as well as pastas (with tuna, mushrooms, peppers and pasta sauce) - Pudding – Braaied Marshmallows with Marie biscuits - After a long ride the cyclists have often had the “munchies” and so the snacks of choice of been peanuts and raisins, chips and dried mango To keep our water clean and drinkable we have been using Sawyer filters which are really easy to use. We are finding we are needing to drink loads more water the further north we ride as it is getting hotter with temperatures going over 30 degrees. We are currently going through at least 5 liters of water per rider a day.

The structure is located just south of the Prairie Island Indian Reservation, home of the Treasure Island Resort & Casino. The Prairie Island Nuclear Power Station is just north of the dam, and just south of the casino. The power plant has been a sore spot with the Indian community for many years. Despite a good operating record, the Indians would like the power plant removed. The power plant supplies nearly half of the electricity to the twin cities area, so a shutdown is not in the cards. As a result, the Indians declared the reservation to be a non-nuclear area. This prevented the power company from using the access road through the reservation. As a result, Northern States Power was forced to build a new access road that skirted the boundary of the reservation. There is a curve in the river just upstream of the lock & dam. This has the effect of causing a cross-current near the entrance to the lock that makes river navigation dangerous. This has resulted in over 100 barge accidents. In 1993, a barge loaded with soybeans missed the lock entrance and crashed into the dam. The barge sank, blocking the river. In 2005, two barges broke free from a tow and went through one of the dam gates. The US Army Corps of Engineers fears that a future accident could result in several barges breaking free and sinking in front of the dam, causing the river to rise. Higher water levels could cause the cross-current to erode the dike on the Wisconsin side of the river causing the dam to fail and the river channel changing course. Not only would this prevent river navigation north of Red Wing, but the change in the river channel would force a shutdown of the nuclear powerplant due to reduced water levels leaving their cooling water intakes high and dry. The US Army Corps of Engineers have rated this structure as the second most likely Corps structure to fail. To address the issues, the Corps has requested $70-million in economic stimulus funds to modify the lock & dam and reinforce the riverbanks. The fifth photo below shows the power station in the distance just upstream from the lock & dam. Also visible in that photos is the curve in the river leading up to lock entrance.
On Election Day, a majority of Ohio voters decided in favor of Issue 2 — a citizen-initiated ballot measure legalizing the possession, home cultivation and retail sale of marijuana. The election outcome was hardly a surprise. Nationwide, an estimated 70 percent of Americans — including majorities of Democrats, Republicans and independents — endorse legalization. Of the 24 states that have legalized it, over half have done so by public vote. Recent polling of Ohioans left little doubt where voters stood on the issue. Specifically, a Baldwin Wallace University poll reported ample support for Issue 2 among nearly every demographic group measured. Support for legalization held firm regardless of voters’ political party, gender, age, race, religion and education level. With such broad public support, one would think elected officials would express similar enthusiasm for legalization. But this has hardly been the case, especially among Republican politicians. In the days following Ohio’s vote, Senate President Matt Huffman stated, “The General Assembly may consider amending the statute.” Republican Gov. Mike DeWine has also called for legislative changes to the law before its enactment date, December 7, 2023. Because the proposed measure was put before voters as a statutory question rather than a constitutional amendment, state lawmakers can amend or repeal its provisions. This sort of post-election pushback from Republican officials is not unique to Ohio. Neither are Republicans’ threats to disregard the will of the voters when it comes to the topic of marijuana legalization. For example, in 2020, 54 percent of South Dakotans voted in favor of a constitutional amendment legalizing the adult-use cannabis market. Weeks later, Republican Gov. Kristi Noem spearheaded litigation challenging the vote. That litigation ultimately resulted in nullifying the election’s outcome. In Mississippi, litigation filed on behalf of a Republican mayor repealed the vote of 74 percent of state voters who decided in favor of a 2020 ballot measure permitting legal marijuana access for authorized patients. The Mississippi ruling also struck down voters’ ability to conduct any future ballot initiatives — ensuring that the public will not be able to have their say on the issue in the future. Currently, Florida’s Republican attorney general is seeking to preemptively deny a proposed marijuana legalization initiative from appearing on the 2024 ballot. Advocates have already gathered over 1 million signatures from Florida voters in support of the measure, and polling shows majority support for legalization in the Sunshine State. Justices on the state’s Supreme Court will decide the proposal’s fate in the coming weeks. Whether or not one personally supports or opposes cannabis legalization, these overtly undemocratic tactics ought to be a cause of deep concern. In a healthy and functioning democracy, elected officials represent the views of the electorate. But, when it comes to the issue of cannabis law reform, Republican lawmakers all too often ignore or seek to undermine their voters. Given the public’s growing bipartisan enthusiasm for legalization, they risk doing so at their peril. A version of this op-ed was originally published by The Hill.
So, preop, this is a woman with a palpable breast cancer, and she agreed to be in our study, where we're trying to find ways to detect residual tumor during the first operation and not leave any tumor behind, and not have to do second surgeries. The key things of this is she was injected with a dye before she got to the operating room, that was going to - the lume 015 dye, that becomes activated to a fluorescent form in areas where there's tumor. The things you saw us do that were using this imaging device, uh, covering things with a towel, turning the lights on and off, that was all part of the protocol. Other than that, it was quite a standard lumpectomy, where the idea was to take out her tumor, uh, with a margin of normal-appearing tissue around it. Uh, her tumor was palpable, so I was able to use touch to put my hand on the tumor and cut about 1 cm or 1.5 cm all the way around. We did that as the first step in the surgery, took the tumor out after we made the incision, exposed it circumferentially to make that easier. Um, and then once the main specimen was out, we actually imaged it in the operating room. We had put metallic markers on, so we would be able to orient the specimen on the X-ray image relative to where the tumor was in the patient. And that picture showed us that the lesion was pretty well centered in the lumpectomy specimen I took out, and it looked like there was grossly clear tissue all the way around. I then went back and did the standard of care here at MGH, which is taking comprehensive shaved margins of the entire cavity. That's taking a thin shave of tissue from the cavity that's the left after that first lumpectomy has been removed. Uh, we do that because randomized studies have shown that that cuts the re-excision rate in half, and that makes up for any trauma to the specimen that can make a margin look positive when it actually isn't. It also is more precise for orienting where any part - positive margins might be, as compared to just using marking stitches or paint on the original specimen. After we did that, we did the protocol part of the study, which is where I introduce the Lumicell probe into the cavity. We got the patient's baseline measurements, just looking all around first at 6 surfaces of the cavity. And then after that, the machine, uh, algorithms calculated what that patient's threshold was for normal versus tumor, and I then went back and systematically looked at the cavity, uh, with the machine applying the threshold. There was one spot in the deep margin where there was some signal, uh, fluorescent signal, that had me take a second margin in that area and after that, that area looked clean. I then resumed the normal part of the procedure, which was I did some cosmetic work lifting the breast tissue off the muscle, so I could mobilize it in a local advancement flap to get a better closure cosmetically. That was done, I stopped all the bleeding with a cautery, packed the incision, and then on to part 2 of the surgery, which is taking out the lymph nodes under the arm to see if there's been any spread of tumor to the underarm lymph nodes. For that, there was the second incision placed in the underarm. We then went deeper through the fatty tissue, uh, the superficial tissues in the axilla, until we found the fascia, and that point, went through the fascia, and after that, pretty quickly could visualize the lymph node that was producing the radioactive signal. We excised that, and counted it. And once that was out, there weren't any other suspicious nodes by palpation, or nothing that had a radioactive signal, and we got nice hemostasis there. We then imaged the lymph node with our Lumicell device, and there was one small area where there was some fluorescent signal, and we'll see what that turns out to be. Once all the specimens have been removed like that, then we put on our cosmetic surgeon hat, and try to do things to close the incision so it will look nice afterward. We also think about patient comfort, and inject a lot of long-acting local anesthetic. That's Marcaine, uh, bupivacaine 0.25%, into the, uh, incisions. And that local anesthetic makes it so at least half of my patients say they never took any pain medicine afterward. And most of the rest can get by with Tylenol or Ibuprofen, so we can minimize narcotic utilization with that. After that was done, we put some marking clips into the breast incision. These will show up on subsequent X-rays and, uh, radiation planning CT scans, and they will help the radiation oncologist aim the radiation precisely around the space where the lumpectomy took place. And then for subsequent mammograms, it will help everyone see, this is where the tumor was, and we look more carefully at that area for any signs of recurrence in the future. After we did that, we closed both incisions, uh, with some cosmetic techniques. Closed the skin with subcuticular closure, so there's no sutures on the outside. It makes it cosmetically nicer, and it's nice for the patient to not have to come back for suture removal. And then we put on waterproof dressings. She woke up quite nicely, and was able to tell us she really had very little pain as she was waking up. So, I'm going to just mark where the sentinel node signal is. So, it's right there. So, this is where we'll do our node surgery. And we've used only the radioactive dye because the blue dyes don't - aren't compatible with the Lumicell dye. Okay, so that's that. And I've also checked to see there's nothing in the supraclav or internal mammary. Okay, we can shut the probe off. And now we're going to see - You can see there's a little dimpling in the skin. So now, we're going to feel where the tumor is in this position. And it's really right under there. There's the little needle injection site, here. So, the tumor's right here, and what I like to do is mark the boundaries of what I feel, with her breast sitting here. So, that shows me where I should put the incision. So, I'll put - And, uh, actually, I think it looks a little better if I make the incision here as opposed to trying to tunnel from here, because I'll be able to use some tissue from the side to help close things. So, we'll do something like that. And then for here we'll make an incision something like this. When you're discussing the procedure, do you give them the option of doing - No, I, uh... It's - sometimes if they have worried about cosmetics, I'll describe things, but I think her cosmetic result is actually - can be better here with what I'm going to do. So, here's our incision. We'll use 2 Adsons next. So here's the same thing we did before, I'm going deep enough that I can get the Bovie in without burning the skin. Knife down. And so, we'll have you pick up opposite me here. I usually cut here to get started, and then come back with coag. And it feels to me like this is fairly superficial, um, so we're going to raise relatively thin flaps here. Okay, let's regrab here. Okay, good, and you let go there. And then here I'm just going to look and see if there's anything that needs to be buzzed here, okay. Then we feel again. You can feel that we're not right at the tumor yet. So now, pick up opposite, and take a real big bite, not just the skin. And let's have the - Let go now. Now let's have the, um, skin hooks. So, if you feel gently down here, you'll feel that the tumor's over here. I'll give you these back. So, now we're going to raise some flaps here. And here, I'm staying parallel to the skin. Can I have the suction? Where do we put this one? Nora, could you hold this one? Okay, good, and come over here. Okay, good, and let's come back over here again. Just leave that one in. And could you reach in front of me and hold that one? Let's have 2 baby abdominals. So, put your hand in, you can feel where the lump is there, and we're kind of coming around the sides of it. Okay, so let's do this, we'll put this one here. This one here. Put that a little deeper. There, good. Thanks. So here, I'm going to have you angle things a little bit - Good, that gives me just a little extra room to work around the retractor here. Suction. Good, now we're going to put you here. And we're trying to get these about 90 degrees apart. And I have my finger on the lump. And I'm going about the width of my finger, which is about 1 cm, 1.5 cm beyond the lesion. Relax on that a little. Good. Okay, there. And now here. And not too - not too hard. And Nora, relax just a little more. Perfect. And I'm watching what I'm cutting here, so, if anything looks like tumor, as opposed to regular breast tissue, I'll take that into account. Okay, now we're going to scoot over here. Here. And then, do you have some, um, clips ready for us? Put this a little deeper - Yeah, take the clip applier in your right hand. We're not quite ready for you to do that yet, but soon we will, so I'll put this here and here. I'm going to put you a little deeper there, now. So I - see, I'm keeping tension on this stuff here. And then I feel where I can come under it. And this side right here, if you can put the clip applier on, and put 3 clips, 1, 2, 3, kind of grabbing this edge perpendicular. Really perpendicular, like that. Either reach your hand around or do that, okay? Good, good. And then right there. Good. And right - I'll move it right there, good. Okay, good. Now, let's have you put that down for Nora for a minute, and then I'm going to have you now grab this one here. Not quite - not quite so much pull - good. And have the suction ready, Nora. So here, I'm coming - Let me win the tug-of-war to lift this side toward me a little more. Okay, now right here, and here. Suction. Okay, take those out for a minute, both those retractors out. Okay, so here's our specimen. Again, let's take another clip and put it right here, marking the superior part of it. Good. Now, let's see if we're - And I think that you can hold off on the rest of that for a minute. So, now... So, now I'm feeling the tumor front and back, here. And I'm going to do this, good. And not too much pull. Here, let me - You mind if I turn on the Lumicell light? Yeah, I think I'll be fine. Yeah, just make - So here, this is just normal-looking yellow fat. And this specimen is a pretty good cylinder. Okay, good. And let's have one more, uh, the clip applier. And then, um, Connor, are you ready to, uh, start painting this? Okay. Got some gloves on. And you can take that retractor out. Sure, I can do that. So, everything here is still sterile? Yes. And which is the anterior? It's blue? Anterior is blue, right. So, as part of this protocol, we're inking the specimen as soon as it comes out of the patient to help more precisely identify the orientation before the fatty tissue deforms. Okay. So Connor, I'm going to put this down here, and - I think you can see there are 3 clips here. That's going to be, uh, medial. Superior, okay, I'll let you work on that. Okay, so now, what we'll do is we'll get hemostasis. We were just getting that out quickly. And so, we'll do this. Um, oh, you can let go of that, thank you. Good. And then we'll have you hold that. And we'll just see where the bleeder is, here. One of these. Next time I'm going to do this on coag, it's a lot drier. But not always. Can I get a little squirt of irrigation? Okay, now, let's move over here. And you're going to hold those both yourself. Okay, relax on those a little, good. Okay, good, thank you. This is just to make sure there's nothing oozing here that we need to deal with now. Okay, that looks pretty good. So now, we look at the cavity we have here. And you can see and feel, there's - space there. Um, and then we're going to take our shave marg - Could you just see if you can get that fat out of there? And then we're going to move this here. And we'll take our shaves first. And Connor, do you want us to initialize after the shaves? Initialize after the shaves. After the shaves, okay. And we're going to make - Lateral and anterior will be together. And then we'll have a deep, also. Okay, so, for this part we'll take, um, rat tooth. Perfect. So, our routine here is to take shaved margins that, this now will make up for any, um - uh, I'll make you start like this first - start up for any trauma to the specimen that happens in handling it that creates a crack that the ink can go down into that would make a margin look positive that wasn't. And there's some data that if you take shaves like this, it cuts the positive margin rate in a randomized trial from 40% to 20%. So, it's useful, but it means we have to take more tissue than we otherwise would like to. Okay, now we're going to come here. I'll have you do that. Um, how about another, um, clip, please? This looks like a little vessel here that's probably part of what was oozing before. And we'll have you - I think you did this before, you'll mark the margin that's facing up. Oh, actually, there's another piece here. Okay, pull less on this one, so I can see this spot here. Put this one here. And then I'm going to move these here, just to see if there's anything still bleeding, or if this is all just leftover. Looks like it is, okay. And then you're going to hold like this. And then, um, Connor, were you going to put that specimen in the, um, BioVision when we're done? Okay, good, and then we'll take some down here for deep. Okay, and then why don't you go start marking those and Nora and I can get this last one and dry up a little bit. This little anterior one, when you put it down, I think it flipped. It doesn't matter that's not going to get marked. Yeah. Okay, so this piece we’re just going to throw in here, but you're going to mark that, the side that's up. Okay, good, and then I'll come here. Excellent. Just look- I'm going to move these a little closer together there, good. So, there's still some deep tissue remaining there. Okay, let's irrigate just a little bit more. Actually, if you - and if you put that down, you know, I have one thing I want to buzz first. I'll put you there. Here's our tumor. And you can see the - I think the ink is marking a little, but you see it's in - it looks like the margins are grossly clean. So yeah, we'll have the lights down now. So we'll start initializing now. And I'm going to cover the area with a towel just to make it even darker on the inside. Okay, so this is deep. I have that. Okay, this is, uh, lateral. Okay, this is inferior. Okay. This is, uh, medial. Have that one, thank you. And, do you need superior still? Or are you - Uh, yes, superior. Have that one. Okay, and anterior will be skin, I don't know if you want that or not. We can take that? Okay. So here is, um, anterior. And you can make a note that that is skin. Okay. Do you want me to take another anterior picture? Yes, it was also pretty dark. Okay, so that may be the reason. So maybe we'll use a different surface for that one. Okay, we'll try that for anter - hold on. So that's anterior now. Okay, alright. So, you'll let us know. For the serious - Okay. So, let's do, um - I'll just look around like this first, and see what we see. So now, I'm trying to systematically run the probe over all of the surfaces of the cavity here. And I want to go fast enough that it feels efficient, but slowly enough that I feel like I'm not missing anything. And I'm looking for red signal on the, uh, screen there. Okay, and then let's do some with the thyroid pole so I'm sure I'm getting a more sys - I'm not missing anything in the folds, though I haven't seen anything light up yet. So, we're trying to use something that will hold each surface still without taking up a lot of space. These are called thyroid poles. Or thyroid poles, people call them, but I guess the technical name is, name is pole. And so you can see there's a little piece of fuzz. I mean, it's a camera as well as a fluorescent detector, so if we had stitches on the specimen... Okay, good, so let's move this one here. This one here. And we keep covering this, because you see, you get the shine-through, um, the light's strong enough. Okay, good. And then we're going to scoot a little here. And here, and then you - It's hard to keep track of where you are with this, so I'm just experimenting with different ways that we don't lose track of where we are. Good, and then we'll come here. Nora, could you grab that one? Okay, good. And then over here. And over here. So, the area where the retractors are is holding things very nicely. Still, I'm going to move this one here. Good, and Nora, I'm going to actually pull you back the other way a little bit. And a little less tension on that one. Okay, good, and then we're going to come like this. I'll have you switch hands. You can let go of the other one if you need to. Okay, here. Trying to reproduce those little things. Let's come over here. And here. Okay, so that's deep. I'll take a - I'm going to take a shave here. Let's have a, uh, tooth. Okay, and I'll have you do this. Could I have a baby abdominal, Nora, that you'll hold? Could you hold that? And can we get the lights back on, please? Thank you. So this is going to be called a therapeutic shave deep. Stitches final margin. Same surface. There's a fix. So this will be, um, lateral. And that's actually getting some shine-through, and still looks nice and negative. Here's superior. Here is medial. And I'm going to move this one here. Good, and this one's going to be over this way. Good, I'm going to shift this one up here. And this is now inferior. And this is the same general area where anterior came before. Would you stitch this? And then - and then after you stitch it, we'll have you flip it over and take a picture of the non-stitched side, just by gently holding this against the specimen. Okay, so I'm going to mobilize the tissue a little bit now, just for cosmetic purposes. I'm going to shift you over here. Is that my patient snoring? Okay, good, so I'm going to put a sponge in there. And can I see if you can try to rescue some of that fat? I'll hold on to this for a minute. Okay, I'll give you this back, good. Oh, actually, let's leave it right on here. Just because it's a little kinder on the tissue, on the smooth stuff. So now, we'll have to - Let's push that light away. And then, you're going to have that gently touch there. You want to be as perpendicular - so it's really quite on there and then we'll cover that. Um, so ready for that non... Okay, good, all right. And then Nora can take that. And are you - do you want to image the node, you said, too? Okay. So we'll just keep this tucked under here, and we're really careful that we don't do anything that, you know, cuts the cover. It has to have the special kind of image surface, but we have to not pull on any of that. Okay. So now, we're ready to do the - the node. So, let's have a 10 blade. Thank you. And then we'll go to the 2 Adsons. Okay, and knife down, 2 Adsons. So you'll pick up opposite me here. And here we're going to go - get a real good bite on that. A little bigger bite. Perfect. And we'll come down here. So, because we're filming this, this is one of the bloodiest ones I'll have this month. Of course. And now take it right out - right opposite me here, on that stuff right there. Okay, so now we're going to grab in the fat. So, if you can rotate your pickups 90 degrees so you're in that fat - perfect. Nice big bite. So, we have to go all through this subcu fat. Okay, and, see what we have oozing here. And so, what I do is, I get it down like this. Okay, and then take that out. Take your finger, and you're going to gently sweep like this, lengthwise along the incision. Just - yeah, and you're trying to gently bluntly dissect there. And usually it will get you right down to the fascia. And our node is this way, so you don't need to go too much back that way, just sort of in that direction. Okay, let's have a baby abdominal. And usually, in a younger person, the fascia will be intact, which is what we have here. And, uh, the nodes can move around in the fat, so your retractor and my finger are holding the fat so it's not going to go anywhere. So then we move this around, until we get the - the hottest signal we can. Right there. Then I put this down, and then... You can maybe rotate that probe. And then I'm going to poke through the fat right there. In fact, I'm going to need the Bovie for this one. The Bovie, yeah. Because this is still... Could you point that away from her? That's good. This is a low node, and there's a little bit of axillary breast tissue here that I'm cutting through. Okay, so then I'll put this in like that, and then I'll take the probe again. So, right there. So then, I just keep going deeper wherever that signal is. And there, I'm now through this fascial layer and down into that lipoma-like fat here. And sometimes I can feel the node. But I think, in this case, I can't quite yet, so I'm going to put you in like that. So now we're seeing that. But every time we go through a layer, the node can move. So now, it's right there. And we didn't use any blue dye, so we'll be looking for the node by its being a mauve color against the yellow - fat, or something I can feel. Now, there's a little bit of mauve right there. I don't know if you can see, right there, it's a little different color. Let's see if that's it. And then we see if we can pull it up into view. And there it is. Spread it just a little. Good. And see, I like to grab it with the Schnidt so it's held like a sling between the two. Maybe this one can even come a little - a little more. You see, there's really not anything attached to it, so as you fiddle with it, sometimes it dissects itself somewhat free. Okay, so now we're going to confirm that's the node. Good, so that's it. And then could you take the clip applier in your - if you can, with one - left hand hold the retractor, and right hand this, what we'll do is I'll have you, um, put a clip right here and then I'll cut between that and the node. Good. Clip and release, good. And then we'll work our way around the node. Some things I can do a little blunt. Okay, put a clip right about here, straight down. Straight down, coming from above, yeah. Oh, let me show you, I want it to be right about there. Yeah, try that. And anything that looks like it could - Now there's a little vessel right there, if you could clip that maybe back about here. Perfect. And you're clipping it like this, because you - if this is the vessel, you're likely to get it. And if it's at an angle, you might - if it's thicker than you think, you might - or if there's a vein, artery, nerve... And now here, as we have this mostly out, I'm going to use the probe again, and confirm that this is in fact our node and that there's not another one behind it. It doesn't look like there is, good. Okay, and how about right on that little bundle, right there. And let's put one more, just for fun, because they're fun to use. I like the clip applier, myself. And now relax a little on your retractor. Good, and see how that widens the space there. So, with a small incision, if you pull in one direction, you lose view somewhere else. So, would you come and do the honors, and, uh, the count this node, down below? And then they're going to want us to image it also, so why don't you count it first. And this is a spare, I think. Can we do a count, please? Please. 14/11, good. And then, um, while you're... And then let me take the probe and now I just look around inside, and then the other thing I was doing while you were counting was feeling to make sure there were no palpable nodes, because one of the ways you can get a false negative node is the sentinel node is negative, but the former sentinel node has been replaced by tumor, and the dye doesn't get to it. That all looks good. Okay, we can shut the probe off. And then - yep, and then I think we'll - yep. And let's image on... I always like imaging on this stuff. Yep, 14/11. And then you can use this to shield the... I don't know if that's dark enough. And then you want to actually roll it over and image the other side. Can we do that? So we get the opposite side of the node. So we're not seeing any glow, so that's good. Looks like there's something towards the top of it. It's really, really small. Okay, so let's, um, which - Let's rotate, yeah, rotate around, and see if we can see, while you're looking, if there's any - So right there. So, there's a small thing there. All right, I have that saved. Okay, so we'll see. All right, so we'll send that for the regular permanent section. Um, if you put your finger in here, um, you can feel the fascia down there. So that's the clavipectoral fascia. And we're going to try to put a stitch in that when we close this. Okay, so let's have some irrigation. So, put this in slowly enough that I can keep up. And you want to get it down into that space, good. Just keep going, yeah. As long as it's not overflowing. You can go a little faster than that, good. Looks like we're doing a good job here, good. And what's coming out is nice and clear, so now that that fill up, good, and then I'm going to just put my finger in here and swish it around a little bit. And that's still pretty watery, so I don't think there's anything bleeding there. Okay, good, and now we're going to do the same thing here. Put that in there. Okay, and you just go right - sort of aiming it all the way around here. And I like this because this is the only part that can burn, and if you're in a small incision, it's - you're less likely to get the burn marks on the edges. Okay, good. Okay, so let's have some Marcaine, please. I'll take a long, um, needle to start with. And so, I'm going to first put this in with the, um - to get along the chest wall, here. Okay, and I'll take this. So... And here there are potentially some vessels big enough to inject into, so I'm actually pulling back a little bit as I do this. Good, relax on that a little bit. So I'm giving local here on the, uh, deep aspect of where we were working and the, uh, chest wall or rib side. So, you won't have to do any of that. You can work on the skin. Okay, and then we'll take a short needle. I'll have you start coming in the side like this. And I'll take - let me have a short one also, and I can just show you. I'm going to do the same thing over here where you're going, just in that subcutaneous tissue, and you have at least 10 ccs to use there. So, imagine you're getting 1 cm, 1.5 cm of local all around that skin edge. And then, when you've done that, you'll use whatever is left, and you can have some more if you need it, to get that fat between the skin and the fascia. I'll take the one bigger... Okay, more. We're going to keep using it all up with short needles. You're going to hold this like this, and you want to get - I've done everything below this hole here, but all this deeper fat here, you can do that, and then you'll also want to move this retractor, so you're getting behind where the retractor is, okay? So, you can have up to 10 ccs, but if it's leaking, I can use it in the incision in the breast. Okay, I'll take some more. And I think you'll probably get about 5 ccs in there, I would guess. That medial area toward the ribs is important, because that's where the nerves come out from between the ribs, so you want to be sure that's - that space under your retractor gets nicely numbed. In these spaces, there isn't any vessel that's big enough to inject into, so you don't have to draw back. Is that it? Pretty well saturated? Okay, I'll take what's left. Perfect. Okay, and then we'll have you maybe just take a sponge and blot that skin edge in the axilla and make sure that's okay. I think I'll take one more look with the retractor. Okay, needle back. Okay, that looks good. So let me - Why don't you you hold that for a minute. Let me take that one deep stitch here while we have this view. So, I'm going to take a bite that's way down in here. And just close up that fascia here that we see. So I'll bite from there to there. And then after this, we're going to, um, put the clips in the breast with the clip applier. Okay good, so now what we're going to do is, you're going to - We have that hole in the breast. We're going to put clips at 12, 6, 3, 9, and one deep. Just to - so when they do their CT scan for radiation planning they can see where the cavity is, even if it's healed a bit. So, we'll have you start here, and I'd like you to go halfway between the chest wall and the skin. So, you'll take a little bite, maybe there, good. And remember you want - Actually, don't go and grab on that stuff. Grab maybe over here, on that. Good. And then go parallel to your bite, not - Good. Okay, good, now here. 6 o'clock. Perfect. And then over here. Maybe around there. A little deeper, where my fingertip is, yeah. Good. And, um, as you're lifting things up with your pickups, you don't want to go this way, you want to go parallel to the pickups, because the tips get buried, and sometimes it gets caught on the clip. Okay, and then you have one up here at 12 o'clock, so, somewhere about there. Good. And then one on this deep stuff, say right about there. Okay, good. You'll take a bite that goes from here to here, and then tie it. She'll hold that for you. I'll take this. And then this is going to be your suture scissor, in here. So, she got 60 of 0.25% Marcaine plain. And Nora, I think she might need to take that out. It's such a small incision, it'll close a little easier if you have that. Um, not right now, no, but I probably will need you later. Okay, good. And then we're going to look at what we have here. So, we want this to all line up really smoothly here. Okay, good. So, um, can you do that, Nora? I'm going to put one in for you to tie here. Um, actually, why don't I use your suture. I'll just take that and leave my - I'll use my needle driver. So here, we want you to take one up here and I'll do the one down here that's a little more awkward. So, these are going to be buried bites that you're going to take not a lot of the fat. You really just want the dermis, here. And you want this to go - line up right about the there. And then these are the ones you tie really tight. Okay. So, 3 good, tight knots. And for these, you can't - because we're trying to tighten the skin, you can't press on the skin, so you’re tightening them, like, with the 2 ends of the suture parallel to the skin. Perfect. And real tight. And you want to try to keep the skin tented up between bite 1 and bite 2. Those are perfect. And then you're going to do one at this end. You don't want it to close too the end, because you want to leave yourself a little room for putting your 4-0 knot in, so instead of putting it here, you're going to put it maybe about here. And see how this is trying to roll up, like this? You correct that by taking the bite here, and then going a little farther down on this side so it'll sit like that. So we're always - about - 45% of breast cancers are in the upper outer quadrant, so that's why we're always bumping into each other when we're trying to tie these. Think we still save a little time by working together. So, you try to take a bite that reaches back. See, the one thing that, um - there's a little more gapping here than down here. And so, some of that's how the bite's placed. So, um, we can have you try to take the bite really... So, pick that up, and enter perpendicular to the skin. Good. A little more superficial. Even more superficial. Good. Good. And you feel how you're digging in - you're in the dermis, so that's giving a lot of drag, and so that will tie tighter and better. So that looks good. Thank you. And here, over here, I'm using - I mobilized the tissue on the underlying muscle, and I'm pulling the pieces in so she won't have a hole here that can collapse on itself. Okay, good. And really, 3 knots is enough. So, really tight on each, each of those. Good. Good, and then we're going to run a 4-0 on that. Do you need another? Uh, no, I think he's ready for 4-0. Needle back. I'll take another 3-0. And so for this, um, you're going to have to sew this way, because - so you can keep your hand on that side. So, you're going to start with a, um - I'll just demo with this. You're going to start here with a bite that comes deep to superficial and stays a little on the deep side. Just one bite. And then you're going to tie a knot there. Three good knots. And you only need - This doesn't have to be very long, because you're just going to sew back the other way with no knot. So why don't you start that? And I'm going to give you this for light, your light. So, pretty close to the apex, there. And this is just to stay in the fat, this is just to anchor it. Good. But it has to be big enough it's not going to fall out. That's a little thin, I think. Um, third plea - Uh, actually, we need some quarter, and some third. And let's see how much length you need. Where's the needle? Yeah. So where's the nee - oh, not even that much. You really need only about 2.5 times the length of your incision, so that's probably more than enough. Good and tight. And then you'll cut the tail. Really short, yeah. And then, your goal now - And, uh, Nora, I think we might need your finger. So, could you - She's going to hold it like this for you. And so, your next bite, you want to pick up on the skin edge again, on this side. And you're going to go deep to your knot and come up superficial to it. And that will really dunk that knot. But not - no no, not this way, this - perpendicular like this. Yeah, so you're going straight below it, coming straight up in that superficial, above the knot. See, that's below the knot, still. So here, you want to - Let me help you a little here. So pull on that for a minute, on the cord. So, you want to pick up like this, really right at the edge, and that way you're making a little space superficial to the knot. There you go. And then those knots that you do that to won't spit. Okay, and then you want to go straight across. And I'd - uh, you want the, um, you want your stitch to not go too far here, you want it to really close this hole, so you actually want your needle to enter way down here, really close to the apex. And these are bites, make it like a deep dermal. Good, and you can feel that drag when you're in the right place. Even a little - a little deeper, um, parallel to the skin, and be sure you pull it nice and tight after each bite. That's what makes it watertight. I'm happy to say I could forget that I had this camera on my head. So, that's good. Of course, Max couldn't quite forget, since I'm poking him with it. We do these tests with the GoPros on. Do you, yeah? It's kind of weird at first, but then you forget. Yeah. It's like when you first have to wear gloves and masks and all that other stuff. And then when you get to the end, you're going to sew back the other way. You might want to blot, um so you can see the skin edges better. And I'll get out of your way, so you can have your hand on this side of things. And you want to go as far into the apex as you can. I'm going to need one more of these. I'll just put that... So, let's see. So you're up there, so you’re ready to start coming down the other way. So you can - You want to come down here, or can you lean from where you are? Yeah, come on down, yeah, come on down. So, maybe two more stitches down the other way. And that makes it so the end of the stitch is woven back and forth in an area where it's not under any tension, so it doesn't unravel. But before you turn the corner - is this your first stitch coming back the other way? So be sure you've tightened it as much as you can the other direction before you tighten it here, because once you pull this one tight, you can't tighten the original part. Okay, real tight, good. And now, just maybe 1 or 2 bites more. One's probably enough. And then we'll have you bury it. Okay, good. And then, before you - Let me just - And so, the test we use here is, does it budge? And not much. Why don't you take one more bite and then bury it. And be sure you pull it real tight. And then you want to go straight in to the incision, and come out a little farther along, so you leave an end dangling inside, but you haven't made another cut in the skin. So actually, for this, um, can I make a suggestion here? So - excuse me a second here. So, you want to have your - it to be forehand, so you want to go straight down in with it like this, and then come out along here, so it's doing that. And what can help you with that is you pull this up first, and you use your pickups right here and then you're going to dive straight in between the pieces, between the skin edges, yeah, good. Good. And then come out somewhere down here. Good, and then just cut it off flush with the skin there. Okay, good, so we'll give that back to Nora. Yeah, I'm - this is my last stitch before I do the 4-0. And I'm actually on skin, so... You can count this as a second count. Okay, good, so we'll let them count, and then while I'm closing this incision, you can wand from the other side. That's nice. A nice closure there. Nora, I'm going to give you this, and take the 4-0, please. Thank you. Are we all set with the counts? Yep. Then can we wand? Okay. So, and here's this, uh, 3-0 back again. And I think we could use, um, we can use 1 medium and 1 small Tegaderm for the closure. Thank you. And this is where we're, um, deliberately - So here's what I was talking about. At first when I, after I turn the corner, I pull it really tight, yeah. And this is where we deliberately try to have it everted a little bit, so that ends up making the scar look nicer in the long run, even though it looks a little funny the first couple of weeks. Okay, so you can go ahead and, um, just clean up that. And just pat it dry, then I can put the actual dressings on while you're doing the orders. Nothing special for her? No, so she - and she has her script already filled at home, so you don't have to write a script. And you say, in the instructions, you say breast sheet, um, with exercises. And that will have everything she needs. And you'll see her before discharge? For anyone who's, uh, thinking of - who's participating in our Lumicell trial, the key elements that I was doing then was I was being sure that the, uh, the probe, which has a smooth glass face, was touching the walls of the cavity, the tissue inside the patient, very closely, that there wasn't a gap or air. I was trying to be a systematic as possible, covering all the surface area with the probe. And I was using something called thyroid poles, which are very narrow retractors, that hold the cavity smooth and stiff so I can cover it all without any folds of the tissue getting in the way. Um, the other key element is that it is a light-detecting protocol, uh, and probe, so we dim the room lights, we take the spotlights off the field, and we actually cover the area of skin around the probe with a towel to try to avoid any light contamination getting into the cavity. Those are probably the main things if you're using the Lumicell tool - being systematic, being sure you have good contact, um, and shielding to the field from any excess light.

3 Ways to Keep Anxiety from Ruining Your Productivity July 17, 2018 Are you too busy to enjoy life? Are you endlessly checking items off your task list, while the list just seems to be getting longer? I know that feeling. I’m juggling my day job, wedding planning, frequent house guests, daily writing, reading I want to accomplish, spending time with my fiancée, and maybe having a social life. Sometimes it’s overwhelming. One thing I’ve noticed about myself is how determined I can be to get things done, even if it makes me feel miserable. I finally recognized this tendency for what it is: anxiety. I’m so attached to getting it all done because I fear not achieving. I imagine that if I’m not productive enough, I will never achieve my goals; if I don’t achieve my goals, I will be unhappy; if I’m unhappy, I will act out and self–destruct. But when I look at that more closely, I see that I’m only making myself frustrated in the present. I’m holding on too tightly to my agenda. So how can we all keep anxiety from ruining our productivity, and more importantly, our peace and sanity? 1. Let Go of the Need to Do it All The one thing I have to keep reminding myself of is that I truly don’t need to do it all. Let go. Let things fall through the cracks. Say no, even to yourself. Let go of the compulsive desire to make sure your task list is empty at the end of the day. Often, this compulsion to get things done is really a fear of being out of control, and fear that the future won’t turn out the way you want it to. The truth is, the future is pretty hard to control. So unclench your fists. Relax into the now: this moment. Experience it, before it passes you by. Have patience with yourself and your projects. Commit to small blocks of time each day, even if it’s just fifteen minutes, or five. Daily action keeps our goals fresh in our minds, and guarantees something, however small, is being done to advance those goals every day. 2. Don’t Bring an Agenda to the Party There’s a time to get things done and a time to play. Know the difference. If you make your life all about squeezing the most productivity out of the least amount of time, when will you stop to actually enjoy what you’re creating? When will you be free, and open yourself up to spontaneity and joy? What about having fun with people you love? Too often I find myself having mentally scheduled every moment of the day, so there’s no time left over for the other people in my life, or for exploring the possibilities of the moment without needing to control and achieve. Sometimes the desire to achieve is just fear showing up as a fruitless attempt to ensure nothing bad or unwanted ever happens to us. If you’re going to do anything, do it with love, not fear. When we act out of love for ourselves and others, we take the full picture into account. What do I need right now? What do others need? What is kind to my future self? And then we take the right action for that moment, whether it’s going out for ice cream, cleaning the toilet, or talking with our partner. 3. Focus on the Essential Some time ago, my fitness coach sent me a copy of Greg McKeown’s book Essentialism. It’s all about focusing on what really matters to us, and leaving the rest behind. Essentialism, along with The One Thing, really helped me hone in on what’s important. The latter book asks the question: What’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary? This “focusing question” is one we can ask ourselves whenever the situation seems complex or overwhelming. It clarifies and makes the important obvious. What’s the one thing I can do in my business that will make everything else easier or unnecessary? What about for my health? Relationships? It starts to paint a picture of what action you really need to take, and what just wastes your time and precious energy. Don’t be afraid to leave behind the merely good for what is most essential and high–impact. According to the 80/20 principle, you’ll get 80% of the results for 20% of the effort, and that last 20% of results will take 80% of the effort. Strategically plan your day to focus on what’s really going to move you forward. And be OK with what you can give right now. Maybe you don’t have two hours to work on your fitness. Maybe you have 15 minutes. Life has many seasons, and we must respect our own limits. Focusing on the essential means we acknowledge those limits, and choose. We do the hard thing and admit that we’re finite human beings. Thor may be able to do it all, but we can’t, so instead let’s focus on what’s truly essential. What are your strategies for being productive without driving yourself crazy? How do you handle the fact that there are only 24 hours in each day?

Journey Manager (JM) The transaction engine for the platform. \| Platform Developer Form Builder \| 23.10This feature was updated in 23.10 Journey Manager allows you to host Maestro forms so they are available to form users and applicants. Forms are exposed to users by being hosted on a user space. Each form has at least one form version, an entity that wraps the set of form-related data to be versioned. If multiple form versions exist, one of them is distinguished as the current form version, and is used when rendering the form. There is some data shared by all form versions, but most settings are maintained separately for each form version. Manager recognizes forms of different form types, such as dynamic PDF forms or Composer SmartForms. Each form version has a form type and the artifacts needed to render the form. The form template file is used to render the form and possibly the form receipt. The receipt template file can be used to render the receipt instead. The form data configuration file defines the data structure underlying the form, and is vital for dynamic SmartForms hosted on Manager. You create a form in Maestro using the Maestro editor. This form is called a Maestro form. Then you deploy it in Manager and then configure it to implement a user journey functionality, such as a back-end connectivity, transactions or receipts delivery. However, you are not limited to the Maestro tools to create a form and can use other alternatives. Manager defines various form events, which you can use to trigger a function implementing some specific business requirements. A Manager's form is represented differently in Maestro. For more information, see Maestro's form overview. Global Forms is an experimental feature which may be subject to improvements and breaking changes in upcoming releases. If you have questions not covered by the documentation, contact your Client Services Team for assistance. Journey Manager allows you to host a special type of Maestro forms - global forms - that can be used across multiple organizations. \| 23.10 This feature was introduced in 23.10 This is achieved by dynamically assigning different organizations to these forms depending on which client is using them. A form, global or not, must have a valid organization assigned to it. The global forms let you run Journey Manager in multi-tenanted environments, that is, global forms are used by various tenants. A tenant is our client, also known as an organization, who is identified by a Client Code. When a tenant is using a global form, a tenant's organization is automatically passed to the global form so all delivery channels and services get the correct organization, as well as all transactions and form submissions are linked to that organization. This is a crucial difference between global and standard forms, where standard forms are statically assigned to one organization. Let's look how you set up a form to be global. You design and build a global form in a same fashion as you do a standard form using your favorite tool, for example, the Maestro editor. You may want to create a dedicated organization, for example, My Global Organization, or a project, for example, My Global Project, for such global forms, so Manager automatically deploys them to a correct place. When the form is ready, you deploy it to Manager and change its configuration to make it global. Alternatively, you import it as a global form. You can also take any existing form and import it as a global one. Manager allows you to change a form's behavior depending on whether it is global or not. For example, a form space now comes with the Default Client dropdown list, which you can configure to populate transactions of global forms served through the form space. Depending on your privileges as a user, you are limited to see only these form spaces that are assigned to you. This is another feature that enables Journey Manager to be used for multi-tenanted solutions, as well as improves overall security for all tenants who are using this solution. You can delete a global form, but additional care must be takes as the global form can be used across multiple organizations. A global form can use both standard organization-specific and global services. However, we allow only the following 3 types of services to be global: Further to this, when you assign services to a global form version, Manager checks whether these services are allowed to be global or not. If a service is incorrectly assigned, it throws an Illegal Argument Exception when you try to render the form. If a service and a form are under the same organization, the form will render fine. However, if they are from different organizations - an exception is thrown. For a collaboration job, a delivery channel belonging to an organization is used. The diagram below shows that an organization is central to all interactions during user onboarding journey and how an organization is used and referred to parts of the system to identify every transaction between a user and a form. Next, learn about the form life cycle.
Making a cutting board from any wood is a great way to add a unique and personal touch to your kitchen. Whether you’re a professional woodworker or just a hobbyist, you can make a cutting board from almost any type of wood. In this article, we’ll go over the steps and materials you’ll need to make your own cutting board. – Wood of your choice – Wood glue – Finishing oil – Finishing wax Step 1: Choose Your Wood The first step in making a cutting board is to choose the wood you’ll be using. You can use almost any type of wood, but some of the most popular choices are hardwoods like maple, walnut, cherry, and oak. You can also use softer woods like pine, cedar, and poplar. It’s important to pick a wood that is both durable and attractive. Step 2: Cut the Wood Once you’ve chosen your wood, the next step is to cut it into the desired shape and size. You can use a saw to make the cuts, or you can use a jigsaw if you’re feeling adventurous. Make sure to measure twice and cut once to ensure that your cutting board will be the correct size. Step 3: Sand the Wood Once you’ve cut the wood to the desired size, you’ll need to sand it down to make sure it’s smooth. Start with a coarse grit sandpaper and work your way up to a finer grit. This will remove any rough edges and make the wood easier to work with. Step 4: Glue the Pieces Together Once the wood is sanded down, it’s time to glue the pieces together. Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the edges of the pieces and clamp them together. Make sure to use enough clamps to keep the pieces firmly in place. Let the glue dry for at least 24 hours before moving on to the next step. Step 5: Finish the Cutting Board Once the glue is dry, it’s time to finish the cutting board. Start by applying a few coats of finishing oil to the wood. This will help protect it from water and food stains. Once the oil is dry, apply a few coats of finishing wax. This will give the cutting board a beautiful shine and make it easier to clean. And that’s it! You’ve now made your very own cutting board from any wood you choose. It’s a great way to add a unique and personal touch to your kitchen. Enjoy!
SPENCER SEMIEN INTERVIEW BY DAN LEVY WITH PHOTOS BY DEVILLE NUNES Spencer, why do you skate? It’s just fun, bro. It’s what has made me happy my whole life. I’ve been skating for a long time and it’s just as fun as when I started, so I just want to skate. Do you remember how you got into skateboarding? I remember seeing a toy skateboard in a magazine when I was younger and I just wanted it and then I got it for Christmas and I fell in love with it and I kept doing it. Do you remember what flipped the switch on for you with skateboarding? I did a kickturn when I was really young and I thought it was a trick. I was like, “That was crazy!” The front of the board just went up and I turned a little bit. I still get that same excited feeling when I’m trying to do something hard or something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s unexplainable really. Where do you come from? I’m from Aurora, Colorado, originally. It’s cool out there and the parks out there are great. I grew up at Trails Recreation Center and that’s where I skated forever when I was a kid. I skated at Wheel Park before that. That’s a little bit older of a park, but shout outs to Aurora, Colorado. When did you move to California? When I finished college I was trying to be in warmer weather and pursue skating as much as I can. I wanted to see what was up out here and I already had some friends out here, so I was like, “I’m going to make the move and try to get a job and see what happens with skating.” When was this? That was five years ago. Where did you move to out here? I moved to Koreatown first and then I ended up in Mid-City. I’ve been around there since. It’s cool. How did you hook up with Powell? Deville came to Westchester one night and I was skating and he asked me who I skated for. At the time, I had a board sponsor, so I sorta chilled for a while. I ended up hitting Deville up a year later to see if I could come skate with them. He was like, “Yeah. Come through.” I linked up with them and he was like, “You can try some boards if you want.” I tried ‘em and it was cool. Westchester! Best place ever. Shout out to Westchester Skate Plaza! What did you go to school for? I went to school for marketing and I got my little Bachelor’s degree. Being all the way real, that’s the most useless business degree. I wish I would have studied finance. After I graduated, I realized that you learn more about marketing from firsthand experience. They can teach you X, Y and Z from a book but you really learn from being around people who have businesses and weren’t afraid to make mistakes. School of hard knocks. That works. Yeah. I couldn’t get a job with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. They said, “Where is your experience?” You seem pretty motivated. Do you ride for anyone besides Powell? I get a little hook up through New Balance and Acid Chemical Co. Wheels out of San Diego and I get Andale Bearings. 303 Boardshop in Colorado and Pharmacy Boardshop in Hollywood are my two board shops. I love 303. They’re cool. They’ve held me down for years. Shout outs to Pharmacy too because they were gracious enough to allow me to maintain my relationship with 303. Shout out to 303 too because they were cool with it too. I’m from Colorado, but I live in California, so they were both cool with that, and I really appreciate both of them. That’s love. So if you had to describe your style, how would you describe it? I just skate for fun, honestly. I just do tricks that I like and that’s what’s cool to me. I don’t really know if I have a description for my style. I just cruise around and try stuff. What kind of music do you like to listen to? Mostly hip hop. I listen to a lot of rap and oldies. I like funk music from back in the day like Dazz Band and Bootsy Collins and stuff. We love Bootsy Collins. Yeah. For real. His music is hard. I listen to a lot of hip hop and a lot of funk and some jazz here and there too, a little low-fi hip hop instrumentals when I’m chilling. I love funk music too. If you could have any super power what would it be? That’s a good question. I would like the ability to regenerate and heal really quickly. I would try a lot more stuff skating if I could heal quickly and regenerate from injuries. “I would want to be known as somebody who loved skateboarding with his whole heart and somebody who did their best to be the best human being that they could. I don’t really care about having pull in skateboarding or anything like that. Skateboarding really just makes me happy.” That’s a good one. What do you think are your biggest challenges in life? My biggest challenge is to not stress on small stuff. I get wrapped up in things that don’t necessarily matter and then it turns into an issue in my own head, but it’s not really existing. That’s a big thing for me that I’m working on. It’s also maintaining patience. I can be patient to a certain extent, but sometimes that’s not enough and you have to be patient more, so I’m working on consistent patience. The patience thing is no joke. I’ve been working on it my whole life. How do you think skating helps that? It takes my mind off of whatever is bugging me for the most part. At the same time, it can sometimes go the complete opposite direction. If I’m having a bad day skating, it might just be like, “This sucks and now this sucks too. I’m about to just go home.” When it is helping, it keeps my mind focused on what I’m doing in the present. It’s not like anything else I could be doing, like video games. It really keeps me distracted because you have to pay attention to try tricks and stuff. Even pushing down the street, you have to pay attention. If you fall, you’re extra mad. Yeah. It’s a weird deal. I said to someone the other day, “If you want to live in the complete present, ride a skateboard.” Exactly. That’s the best way to do it. As human beings, it’s very common to be living in the past and the future. I think living in the future is the worst. You have all sorts of hypotheticals that could happen and that’s really stressful. Skateboarding keeps me in the present. I think a lot of people have learned, since the coronavirus pandemic, that you can’t really plan anything. Absolutely. It’s crazy. It’s so left field for everybody. It’s terrifying, but there can be therapeutic aspects to it with the whole quarantine thing. That’s how I found out that my girlfriend and I have a really good relationship because we were locked down in this house and I was only skating two hours a day and we were co-existing perfectly. It has been therapeutic for both of us and it’s been good quality time for us both. We are in a really healthy relationship. That’s great. So what does it mean to you to be on Powell? It’s cool! It’s super family driven and we all skate together. It’s been chill. As far as defining what it means, it’s homies that get together and skate. If you land something, you land it. If you don’t, you don’t. That’s cool too. It’s just getting in the field and trying to make it happen and being around good people. Where have you travelled in the world for skating? I’ve been to China once and it was cool and so much fun. I’ve been to New York, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, San Diego and all over California. As far as stuff that is noteworthy in my mind, it was China. That was a cool experience. Where would you like to go? I just go with the wind. Whenever someone has a plot to go skate somewhere, if it sounds cool, I’m down. Off the top, I need to visit Barcelona. That just has to happen. If you skate, you go to Barcelona at some point. I really want to go to Copenhagen too. I’ve been to Mexico on a little trip and that was really fun. I went to Ensenada. That was super close to Chula Vista, San Diego, where I was at, so we went there. It was cool. I’m pretty much down for whatever. If you had to describe what you want your legacy to be, how would you describe it? I would want to be known as somebody who loved skateboarding with his whole heart and somebody who did their best to be the best human being that they could. I don’t really care about having pull in skateboarding or anything like that. Skateboarding really just makes me happy. What’s really important to me is being the best person that I can be and doing something I enjoy. Do you have shout outs you want to give? Shout out 303. Shout out Pharmacy Hollywood and Pharmacy Boards. Shout out to my girlfriend. She has really held it down for the last few years and it’s been cool. Shout out Powell and to anybody who has ever done or said anything nice to me. That’s the real shout out. Shout out Juice. FOR THE REST OF THE STORY, GET ISSUE #77 AT THE JUICE SHOP HERE.

By Marc DeLuca, KBS Chief Executive Officer and Regional President, Eastern U.S. This article originally appeared on Forbes.com. There’s been a lot of buzz about the future of office buildings — from their role in business to residential conversion. But even though the term “office” has been broadly used to categorize workplaces, not all office space is created equal. It’s true that the office sector is experiencing a post-pandemic inflection point. Yet, despite this disruptor, I see office properties repopulating as businesses recognize the value of a central place to work. These values include mental health benefits, mentorship opportunities and being recognized in the marketplace. As pandemic fears fade, I am seeing a clear front-runner in office real estate recovery: first-class (referred to in the industry as Class A) space. In fact, experts are seeing a “flight to quality” among companies that use offices, and some predict newer Class A office buildings as one of the asset types that will see the highest amount of leasing activity in 2024. With roughly 80% of office leases being signed in buildings that are Class A, I’m witnessing companies increasingly seeking fresher, modernized office space to house their teams. In my view, Class A, along with well-amenitized and upgraded Class B-plus office buildings (older properties that were recently renovated with quality amenities but commanding a lower rental rate), offer companies much more than “plain vanilla” workplaces — a phrase that is often used to describe no-frills office space. In fact, I believe that they provide what today’s firms need to succeed in a competitive business environment. Embrace Amenities to Attract and Retain Top Talent For years, firms have been competing for the best workers and using office space to recruit and retain teams. In the wake of the “great resignation,” this need for providing work environments with desirable amenities has been amplified. Consequently, I’m seeing that companies want office space that caters to their employee base’s needs and desires. This means beautifully designed buildings with well-appointed workspaces offering all the bells and whistles workers have come to expect when returning to their workplace are in high demand. Look for well-designed, modern buildings with amenities that spark collaboration and creativity, such as a great indoor or outdoor tenant lounge and conference space and Wi-Fi-enabled outdoor spaces. I see features like these drawing companies to my top office properties. For example, one of our properties, Accenture Tower, was already an iconic asset, but after renovations and the implementation of new amenities, its occupancy increased from 80% pre-pandemic to nearly 100%, ultimately providing tenants with everything from transportation and food and fitness to an indoor/outdoor tenant lounge where they can relax or celebrate with colleagues. From Next-Level Amenities to Sustainability Certifications Today’s companies need more than just four walls to stay ahead of the competition. These businesses also expect their landlord to go above and beyond, offering the “extras” that ensure their success, which is much more likely to be found at Class A properties. Some of the next-level offerings that office building owners are providing tenants include concierge service, excellent internet connectivity, state-of-the-art technology for conferencing, on-site car detailing, on-site EV chargers and gourmet food and drink options. These services and conveniences help companies and their teams stay focused, productive and on track to reach their business objectives. In addition, with ESG (environmental, social and governance) factors becoming increasingly prominent, tenants are especially interested in buildings that operate with health and sustainability in mind. To that end, properties offering wellness amenities like cutting-edge fitness centers, touchless elevators and healthier indoor air are more important in the post-pandemic era than ever before, for they help keep companies and their employees healthy and industrious. Along with health and wellness, many owners and operators of premier office buildings seek out environmental and technological certifications and verifications such as LEED, Energy Star and WiredScore to make sure tenants feel supported. The flight to quality mentioned earlier has a ripple effect. Best-in-class office buildings can truly transform neighborhoods and increase their appeal for today’s companies, encouraging other businesses to invest in the area and improving entire communities. Certain upscale amenities, such as on-site retail and great lunch spots, can also make an office building succeed in areas that may be viewed as risky. I have seen that even in cities that are troubled with crime, well-located properties with top amenities on site can attract office tenants and change the neighborhood. In-building shopping and dining provides tenants with a seamless experience during working hours, giving companies an additional reason to choose Class A buildings in some of the most compelling markets in the country. There is a bifurcation in office real estate between first-class buildings and those of lesser quality — like the difference between a butter knife and a Swiss Army knife; both can cut, but only one gives you the tools to handle any situation and flourish. This difference is helping draw in companies that are focused on providing their teams with exceptional workspaces in great locations within key markets. Premier office buildings can help firms attract and retain top talent while giving them a leading edge in a competitive business environment. As office building occupancy continues to climb, I see Class A buildings leading the way toward a sustainable recovery that can benefit companies, their employees and the communities in which they operate.

A few months ago, the famous actor and comedian, Tracy Morgan, was involved in a terrible truck accident that caused the death of one of his friends and left Morgan with serious injuries. Given that the truck driver who caused the accident was allegedly sleep-deprived at the time, the story has drawn considerable attention to the issue of truck driver fatigue. However, tractor-trailer accidents can result from a variety of other causes, including overloading. According to a study by the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences, overloading a truck creates various safety concerns. Most people understand that heavier vehicles can be more difficult to stop, and that the weight creates a greater impact force in an accident. This is why truck accidents often result in greater damage and more severe injuries relative to accidents between smaller motor vehicles. But weight alone is not the only factor. Trucks are designed to carry far heavier loads than the average passenger vehicle. The real dangers arise when the truck operator loads the truck with a greater amount of weight than federal regulations allow, or than the truck was designed to carry. When a truck is overloaded, it can become unstable, which increases the risk of rollover accidents and can make it difficult for the driver to keep the truck from veering into other lanes of traffic. Furthermore, the excess weight can make the truck difficult to maneuver and cause problems with the braking system. Trucks are dangerous enough without the operator exceeding the truck’s weight limits. Following a truck accident, victims may want to investigate whether overloading played a role in the accident. If so, the evidence may be used to show that the driver or the truck company was negligent.

Because the strength of your bones tends to deteriorate as you age as well, a fall that may have left little damage during your younger years may leave you in serious pain as you get older. In addition to increasingly brittle bones and diminished overall strength, these are additional factors that place you at risk of falling as a senior. So, why are seniors more likely to fall?

Your eyesight tends to diminish over time, and this can enhance your chance of suffering a fall, particularly if you do not wear prescription glasses or contact lenses regularly or as directed. Your risk of developing certain eye diseases also tends to increase with age. Environmental hazards can include anything from a dimly lit space to a poorly maintained staircase or sidewalk, and they all have the potential to contribute to your risk of a slip or fall. Environmental hazards may be particularly dangerous if you also have poor vision or rely on numerous prescription medications. Any recent surgeries you had You may also be more likely to trip and fall when you are recovering from surgery, particularly if the surgery is relatively major, such as a hip-replacement procedure. The pain you feel afterward may lead to diminished mobility, and it may also lead you to rely on one side of the body more than the other, which can also enhance your chance of falling.

When it comes to kitchen appliances, the blender stands out as one of the most versatile and widely used tools. Whether you’re whipping up a morning smoothie, preparing a hearty soup, or crafting a gourmet sauce, this device can make your culinary endeavors smoother and more flavorful. Over the years, blenders have evolved, and with the advent of various features and settings, they can now perform an impressive range of tasks. However, for those unfamiliar with its intricacies, a blender might seem a bit intimidating. The array of buttons, speeds, and functions can leave one wondering how to properly harness its power. But fear not! With a little knowledge and practice, you’ll soon be blending like a pro. To get the most out of your blender, it’s crucial to understand its basic operations and potential, ensuring you achieve the desired consistency and flavor every time. Step by Step Guide on How to Use a Blender Step 1: Setting Up Your Blender on the Countertop Place your blender on a flat, stable surface, ensuring that it’s not too close to the edge of the countertop. This minimizes the risk of it falling or getting knocked over during use. Before you begin, it’s best to make sure the blender is unplugged to avoid any accidental startups. Most blenders come with a variety of settings ranging from chop to puree. Before diving into blending, spend a moment getting to know these buttons. This will ensure you achieve the texture you desire for your blend. Step 2: Prepping Your Ingredients Ensure your ingredients are clean and cut into manageable sizes. This not only helps them blend more easily but also ensures the longevity of your blender’s blades. For harder ingredients, like carrots or nuts, you might want to chop them a bit before tossing them inside the blender. Step 3 – Adding Liquid To ensure a smooth blend, especially for thicker mixes like smoothies or purees, always add some liquid. It can be water, juice, milk, or broth. I recommend pouring the liquid first as it prevents ingredients from sticking to the bottom and helps the blades move freely. Step 4 – Securing the Lid This might sound like a no-brainer, but it’s essential! Before you turn on your blender, make sure the lid is securely in place. Trust me, you don’t want a messy explosion on your countertop! Step 5 – Starting Your Blender To operate the blender, look for the power/start button and press or switch it on. Next, choose the suitable blender speed setting or utilize a preset recipe program. You may find additional controls, such as a stop button or the pulse option, to settle and ensure an even blend. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions based on your blender model. Step 6 – Blending to Perfection Keep an eye on the consistency as you use your blender. If things look too thick, don’t hesitate to add a bit more liquid. Remember, it’s best to add liquids slowly. You can always add more if needed! Step 6 – Turn Off the Blender Safely Once you’ve achieved the desired consistency, ensure you turn off the blender completely. Wait for the blades to come to a complete stop before removing the lid. Safety first! Step 7 – Cleaning Up Immediately after use, fill your blender halfway with warm water and a drop of dish soap. Pulse a few times to pre-clean the blades and the inside of the blender. After that, you can wash it more thoroughly either by hand or in a dishwasher, depending on the manufacturer’s instructions. What Can You Make In A Blender? 1.

Also, it’s crucial to place the blender on a stable countertop surface and always stop the blender before removing the lid. 2. Can I make salad dressings with a blender? Absolutely! Blenders are fantastic tools for creating smooth, well-emulsified salad dressings. Just add your ingredients, such as oils, herbs, and vinegar, and blend until you achieve the desired consistency. It’s one of the popular ways to use a blender. 3. What’s the difference between a blender and a food processor? Both devices have their unique mission in the kitchen. While blenders excel at liquifying ingredients for smoothies, soups and sauces, food processors are adept at tasks like chopping and grinding, and they can even grate ingredients. 4. What unique foods can I make in my blender? Blenders offer a multitude of culinary possibilities. From soups and sauces to unique creations like homemade nut butters or ice cream, there’s so much you can make in your blender. If your mixture is thick, remember to use the tamper to safely push ingredients toward the blades while blending. 5. Can I use a blender for chopping and grinding? Conclusion – A Few Final Words!

A first-of-its kind blood test could help identify psychiatric disorders from neurological issues to schizophrenia and more. Scientists at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center say that a simple blood test could potentially detect changes associated with mental health diseases by analyzing genetic material found in human blood, Knewz.com has learned. The researchers published their findings on January 11 in a paper titled “Blood extracellular vesicles carrying brain-specific mRNAs are potential biomarkers for detecting gene expression changes in the female brain,” in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small fatty sacs filled with genetic materials like messenger RNA (mRNA), which play a crucial role in cell communication, Johns Hopkins said in a statement. These vesicles are released by all tissues in the body, including the brain, which carry specific pieces of mRNA that reflect the gene activity within their tissue of origin. This latest research builds on the results of a separate Johns Hopkins study published in September 2022, when researchers discovered EV communication is altered in pregnant women who go on to develop postpartum depression after giving birth. They made their findings after testing placentas. “We only detected placenta specific EVs during the pregnancy, and not after birth,” said the study’s lead author, Sarven Sabunciyan, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “This was a proof of concept, that we can detect EVs that are coming from a specific tissue or organ." In their latest research, the scientists were able to identify mRNAs in the brain using data from the Human Protein Atlas — a Swedish-based database of human proteins in cells, tissues, and organs — and the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project. “Further analysis of those mRNA genetic pathways showed that the brain-specific mRNAs in blood EVs were involved in particular brain functions and were significantly enriched for genes already associated with brain disorders that involve mood, schizophrenia, epilepsy and substance abuse,”the researchers stated. As such, the researchers believe that these mRNAs are likely to be “ideal” biological markers when it comes to identifying these conditions. The researchers also discovered 13 brain-specific mRNAs in the blood that were found to be associated with postpartum depression. Study co-author Lena Smirnova, an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said, “This is very exciting, because right now, there isn’t a blood marker for disorders affecting the brain. Essentially, these conditions are diagnosed by clinical interviews between patients and providers.” The researchers eventually hope to develop a simple blood test to detect changes such as higher or lower levels of blood EV mRNAs directly linked to changes in the brain associated with mental disorders without having access to the brain itself, Sabunciyan said. If the test is successful, doctors would be able to identify patients at risk of psychiatric episodes and detect early signs of mental health “emergencies” such as suicidal behavior. The team also plans to use lab-grown brain samples in future studies to identify similar biomarkers to develop tests for autism spectrum disorder.

Good maps of Bangkok seem hard to come by. Before we left, we looked in several bookstores and decided on The Rough Guide to Bangkok. We’d never used a Rough Guide before but our usual (excellent) guidebook series, DK Eyewitness Guides, did not have a Bangkok-specific book, only a general Thailand guide. What a mistake…I’ve wanted to throw the RG right into the river about 10 times in the past few days. Meg promises me that once we get home, I can ritually set fire to it and cleanse ourselves of its crappiness. On one of our last days here, we happened upon the Eyewitness Guide for Thailand and while it’s thick and heavy, the Bangkok section would have been perfect for our needs. Argh! Oh well…one of the difficulties in traveling is that you never know what you’re really going to need until you get to where you’re going, and that goes double for maps. We ended up relying quite a bit on the free SkyTrain/Metro map they give you at the station, as well as a slew of free maps available at our hotel and various other places around town. None of them was very good, but depending on what we were doing, one of them had the appropriate information on it. After all this, I wonder if a good map for Bangkok even exists. The city is so big and sprawling that it’s conceivable that no one has undertaken the effort to map it all. To its (possible) credit, the RG recommended a Bangkok map called Nancy Chandler’s Map of Bangkok. We found it in a small bookshop on our last full day here, and while we couldn’t properly evaluate it in its wrapper, it looked promising.
Board agendas are becoming vaster and topics are getting more complex. Although not required by law, mainly large and listed companies have set up committees with relevant expertise to support the board of directors (BoD) and help make decisions more efficiently. The committees support the BoD in fulfilling its legal duties (according to Article 716a Swiss Code of Obligations) by assessing specific topics such as audit, compensation or sustainability in depth. The committees report to the BoD on their activities and findings. Overall responsibility for the duties delegated to the committees remains with the board. Whereas a compensation committee is required by law for listed companies, audit committees, nomination committees, risk committees and also ESG committees are widespread. Competencies and responsibilities of the committees have to be stipulated in corresponding organizational regulations. Best practice is found in the Swiss Code of Best Practice on Corporate Governance, issued by economiesuisse. Audit committee (AC) The focus of an audit committee's work is the financial reporting, the internal control system, the internal and the external audit. It increasingly deals also with the non-financial reporting-process. For that, audit committee members should be independent and be experienced in these fields or even be financial experts. Only in the financial service industry is an audit committee required by law in Switzerland. However, the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance recommends setting up an audit committee. Many larger companies have already done so in recognition of the benefits of dedicated board-level resources for this important topic. What belongs on the 2024 audit committee agenda? We expect a focus on eight key topics: - Stay focused on financial reporting and related internal control risks – job number one - Maintain focus on cybersecurity and data privacy - Clarify roles ahead of new climate, sustainability, and other ESG disclosures – and oversee the quality and reliability of the underlying data - Reinforce audit quality - Make sure internal audit is focused on the company’s key risks and is a valuable resource to the audit committee - Maintain a sharp focus on leadership and talent in the finance organization - Help sharpen the company’s focus on ethics, compliance, and culture - Clarify oversight of generative AI The role of the audit committee is becoming increasingly demanding in a rapidly changing environment. Good corporate governance, which includes an external audit of the financial statements, is vital in safeguarding one of the most important corporate assets: Trust Partner, Member of the Board Leadership Center, KPMG Switzerland Your questions – our solutions Audit committees have to cover a wide range of issues. Time is limited, so asking the right questions is critical. Our audit committee questions series (prepared by KPMG’s Global Audit Committee Institute) is a great way to spark a conversation and consider your position. Our experts are happy to support you personally in deepening these topics. The AC should form its own opinion of the quality of the internal and external audit, the internal control system and the annual financial statements (see Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance). The AC reports to the Board on its activities and findings. It recommends the Board the financial statements to submit to the AGM for approval. The regular reporting obligations incumbent upon listed companies include the duty to publish annual financial statements as well as interim financial information. The preparation of the financial statements of a (listed) group is demanding process with many technical challenges. A dedicated committee with experienced members supports the Board in fulfilling its supervisory duties. Oversight risk: Companies have become much more risk-conscious and their management and oversight more risk-driven. Not surprisingly, the audit committee's time commitment in this respect has increased substantially over the last few years. The review of the risk management processes deserves a dedicated place on its agenda. Assessing the system of internal control: Audit committees play an important role in overseeing an organization's internal control processes. Effective audit committees perform their oversight by demanding relevant, timely and accurate information from management, the internal auditor and the external auditor, and by asking direct and challenging questions. Reviewing and assessing financial statements: The audit committee has an important oversight role in providing the board with assurance as to the propriety of the financial reporting process. Reviewing and assessing the financial statements remains a critical last step in the committee's financial reporting oversight activities. Accounting policies, judgments and estimates: Financial transaction and accounting issues have reached an unprecedented level of complexity. Subjective accounting standards and challenging economic and regulatory environments have put a premium on "getting the numbers right". Fraud and whistle-blowing: The increasing complexity of global organizations – technologies, financial transactions and processes, global supply chains and third party relationships – continue to expand the opportunities for fraud in a variety of areas. Audit committees have to address the various fraud risks head-on ensuring that appropriate safeguards are in place. Narrative reporting and non-GAAP measures: The integrity of the financial statements and the systems generating the information reported in the financial statements receives a lot of attention from management, internal audit and external audit. The same is not always true for non-GAAP measures and various narrative reporting disclosures provided to investors and other stakeholders. Auditor selection: The audit committee should be the owner of the auditor selection process and at the end submit a recommendation to the Board for the appointment of a statutory auditor. The selection process must be structured and take into account audit quality as one important criteria. Whereas in the EU firm rotation is mandatory, in Switzerland (as well as in the US for example) it isnt. Audit committee induction and onboarding: For any new board member – particularly when joining the audit committee – a learning curve comes with the territory. Just how steep that learning curve is and how quickly a new board member is able to contribute meaningfully to committee meetings, depends directly on the quality of the induction and onboarding process. Chairing an audit committee: Audit committee effectiveness hinges on the chair's effectiveness. A successful audit committee chair should understand the importance of relationships with management, the auditors and other stakeholders. Effective conversations: Getting the "right conversation" around the audit committee table is an essential component of audit committee effectiveness. The right information: For audit committees to be truly effective, it is imperative to have both timely access to, and an understanding of, all the relevant information they need to carry out their responsibilities. Audit committee self-assessment: The audit committee should regularly assess its own performance – and the adequacy of its terms of reference, work plans, forums of discussion and communication – with a view to highlighting skills and/or knowledge gaps and identifying areas in which the committee and its processes might be more effective. The regular reporting obligations incumbent upon exchange-listed companies include the obligation to publish annual and interim financial statements. The core content of such statements includes comprehensive information on a company’s financial position, net assets and results of operations, along with in-depth statements about corporate governing processes regarding the preparation of financial statements and its related controls. Robust processes will ensure high quality financial (as well as non-financial) information which is key to good corporate governance. As we learnt to live with coronavirus, we can reflect on our experiences and draw some conclusions: What were the biggest challenges facing audit committees? Which accounting-related issues were most urgent? And what impact did these have on audits? Which insights continue to hold true even after the coronavirus crisis subsided? We discussed these issues with the members of several audit committees. With many companies having successfully concluded digital AGMs in the COVID-19 era, the revised Swiss stock corporation law now allows new AGM formats. Against this background, the future of the AGM is up for discussion. While 2023 will, in the absence of COVID-19, see almost all companies return to the old in-person format, it remains unclear what format will emerge in the future. Will we go back to the old format for good, or will we go fully digital? How to improve the effectiveness of internal and external audit? The audit committee works closely with external and internal audit teams to safeguard quality, ensure compliance and gain valuable business insights. Effectiveness of the external auditor: The evaluation of external audit effectiveness is subject to increased regulator and investor focus. Not only is it core to the audit committee role but it can have an impact on any recommendations around audit tendering and/or rotation. External audit scope: In the current environment, audit committees, regulators and other stakeholders are sharpening their focus on audit quality. A thorough review of the audit plan is an essential starting point to ensure audit quality is at the level it should be. Private sessions with the external auditor: Meeting the external auditor in a private session where management is not present allows the auditor to provide candid, often confidential, comments to the audit committee. Effectiveness of the internal audit function: An effective internal audit function can have a positive impact on the control environment of an organization and the effective design and operation of internal control. The audit committee should regularly evaluate the effectiveness of the internal audit function to ensure that the benefits to the organization are optimized. Internal audit scope: The role that internal audit can play within an organization can be significant and of high value to the audit committee. The scope does not need to be limited to providing the audit committee with assurance over the controls implemented by management and can head toward a "consultancy" role, providing strategic support to the audit committee and company. Establishing the "right" scope for the internal audit function is not a "one size fits all" exercise. Private sessions with the head of internal audit: Meeting the head of internal audit in a private session allows the audit committee to ask questions beyond the scope of the internal audit plan. The head of internal audit can often deliver valuable views and opinions based on the work of the internal audit team. The nomination committee is responsible for ensuring that the Board and top management have and will have the right combination of skills, backgrounds, experiences and top management have and will continue to have the right combination to navigate the company through an increasingly volatile and fast-paced global environment. Today’s new reality presents a unique opportunity to reshape the board composition while working toward providing truly equal opportunities to reach a boardroom that is fit for the future. We explore what’s on the agenda for nomination committees in 2024: - Skillsets to expand and enhance ESG oversight - Quicken the pace on visible and invisible diversity - Move the dial on diversity - Board skills required to support growth - Succession planning - Planning for increasingly active investors - The voice of the workforce and wider stakeholder perspectives The compensation committee is responsible for policies on pay, compensation reports and related discussions with shareholders. Executive compensation is sure to be on the agenda of the shareholders' meeting – and has even been known to hit the headlines. This is especially true given the current economic outlook. Compensation committees will need to balance economic uncertainty with the need to retain the key talent required to navigate the business through these challenging times. We have highlighted areas to keep in mind as compensation committees consider and carry out their 2024 agendas: - Cost of living crisis - "Windfall" gains on long term incentives plans - Continued focus on the ESG agenda ESG committees are becoming an increasingly common presence on boards of listed companies. Whether they’re referred to as the corporate responsibility committee, responsible business committee, sustainability committee or environments and communities committee, some listed companies now have some form of ESG committee. How companies address climate change, diversity issues, and other ESG risks is now viewed – by investors, research and ratings firms, activists, employees, customers, and regulators – as fundamental to business and critical to long-term sustainability and value creation. In our ESG agenda 2024 we put the focus on: - Clarity of purpose - An ESG competent board - Engage proactively with shareholders and other stakeholders - Embed ESG, including climate risk and diversity issues, into risk and strategy discussions - Driving the transition towards a more purposeful ESG oriented organisation through culture - Systems, controls and data - Reporting to investors and other stakeholders
KPMG and the University of Cambridge unveil new partnership New five-year partnership on the ‘Future of Work’ will examine the big issues affecting the modern workforce. New five-year partnership on the ‘Future of Work’ will examine the big issues affecting New five-year partnership on the ‘Future of Work’ will examine the big issues affecting the modern workforce and offer practical, research backed solutions to employers KPMG UK and the University of Cambridge have today unveiled a new partnership to understand how the world of work is changing, starting with what really works when it comes to supporting employees’ mental wellbeing. The partnership is a global first and sees the University of Cambridge bring together researchers from different disciplines to better understand the factors that affect mental wellbeing at work. It will show how different kinds of supports can boost individual mental wellbeing, enhance productivity and promote a healthy workforce for the future. KPMG will open its doors to Cambridge researchers, who will assess the effectiveness of the mental wellbeing initiatives the firm currently offers to its c.16,000 UK employees. This will develop an evidence base of what works and how new support measures can be developed and evaluated to meet employees’ future needs. The firm will use these insights to invest in and evolve its package of mental wellbeing support. The firm will also share its research with the wider business community, to help them support their own workforce and reduce attrition and wellbeing related absence. It also aims to provide empirical evidence clearly demonstrating the link between employee mental wellbeing and improved productivity. Jon Holt, Chief Executive of KPMG UK, said: “Mental wellbeing is a global issue and a leading concern on the minds of the business leaders I speak to. Businesses need research and data to help them invest in the right areas to support their staff through a huge period of change, as we emerge from the pandemic and introduce new ways of working. “But mental wellbeing at work is an under researched area and it is hard to access empirical data evidencing clear links between mental wellbeing policies and better employee health. “This partnership with the very best academics in their field seeks to address this and provide real answers on what works. It aims to help leaders support their people to thrive at work, which in turn will lift productivity and deliver wider benefits to the economy.” Professor Gordon Harold, who is leading the Mental Wellbeing programme for the partnership, said: "Mental health is the bedrock of a healthy, productive and positive society. By 2030 depression will be a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally, with significant implications for individuals, society and the future of work. Promoting positive mental health and supporting those who experience or are at risk of mental ill health is now a national and global priority.” Professor Andy Neely, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Enterprise and Business Relations at the University of Cambridge said: “Work – what we do, how and where we do it and what it means for individuals, organisations and wider society – is changing. This ambitious partnership will bring together Cambridge researchers from a wide range of disciplines to reimagine the world of work and to co-create with KPMG effective strategies and interventions that will benefit both its workforce and those of organisations worldwide. “Finding the best ways to support mental wellbeing at work is an urgent and important task, and the starting point for this partnership which will explore more broadly how can we enable meaningful work that addresses society’s needs.” The announcement is part of KPMG’s £300m three-year strategy to transform and grow its business, as it invests in new insight and services to support its clients and its people. It also forms part of a wider partnership between KPMG and the University of Cambridge, which aims to examine the big issues affecting work and society, such as the impact of digital technologies, the global distribution of work and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), and to provide evidence-based, actionable insights. In September last year, the firm unveiled a training programme with Cambridge Judge Business School, which will deliver ESG training to KPMG’s 227,000 global workforce.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds will endorse Ron DeSantis Nov 5, 2023, 3:00 PM (Jeffrey Becker/USA Today) (CNN) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds will endorse Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Republican primary at a pre-debate rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on Monday night, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. The DeSantis campaign is promoting Reynolds’ presence at the event on X, formerly known as Twitter. Reynolds initially indicated she would likely remain neutral in the GOP primary race, but more recently has signaled willingness to back a candidate. Reynolds will also join DeSantis on Tuesday for a meet-and-greet in Davenport, Iowa. The Des Moines Register and NBC News were first to report the endorsement. Reynolds’ popularity among Republican voters in Iowa could grant DeSantis a necessary boost if he hopes to compete against the far-and-away frontrunner in former President Donald Trump, with the Iowa caucuses – the kickoff to the Republican primary – now less than 100 days away. Trump’s campaign said in a statement after Reynolds’ endorsement that the governor had “promised her constituents that she would remain neutral in the race, yet she has completely gone back on that promise. Regardless, her endorsement will not make any difference in this race.” Polls from Iowa in October showed Trump ahead of DeSantis – the next-closest contender – by 30 points, with Trump supported by nearly half of likely Republican caucus-goers. The DeSantis campaign’s hope is that a near-victory or outright win in Iowa will clear the field and reset the GOP primary as a two-person fight with Trump, which is why DeSantis is prioritizing Iowa over other early battlegrounds. DeSantis’ campaign recently moved one-third of its Tallahassee campaign staff to Des Moines and the Florida governor has pledged to visit all 99 counties in the state. As of late last month, he had visited 83, he told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “You shake the hands, you ask the questions, that is not something that you will necessarily see in polling. It is something that comes out when people make their decisions to caucus, so we’re doing it the right way. I’m going to be the only candidate that does all 99 counties,” DeSantis said on “The Source.” A super PAC supporting DeSantis, Never Back Down, has spent $9.8 million boosting the governor on Iowa’s airwaves, as of early last month, more money than any other political committee or campaign. Several notable conservative Iowans quickly offered their thoughts on the endorsement Sunday, with influential Iowa evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats calling it a “game changer” for the primary. “She is exceptionally popular and a great competitor,” Vander Plaats said of Reynolds’ influence in Iowa. “She wouldn’t endorse unless she saw a path to victory.” And conservative Iowa radio host Jeff Angelo, whose popular show regularly brings on Republican presidential candidates, said that while he expects Trump will still win in Iowa, Reynolds’ backing “definitely helps” DeSantis’ efforts. While Trump has boasted sustained support in Iowa, the state’s governor has for months felt differently about the leading candidate. In July, Trump lashed out at Reynolds for remaining neutral and for appearing alongside other candidates who had invited her to events across Iowa. The former president in a social media post claimed credit for her ascent to the governorship and chastised her for not supporting him. Reynolds, as the state’s lieutenant governor, succeeded Gov. Terry Branstad in 2017 after he became Trump’s ambassador to China, and she was elected to a first full term the following year. The other Republican presidential candidates immediately looked to ingratiate themselves to the popular governor against Trump’s attacks. DeSantis on a stop in Iowa in July said he would consider Reynolds as a potential running mate if he wins the nomination. He called her “one of the top public servants in America.” On a call with Iowa media outlets in late October, DeSantis said a Reynolds endorsement “would be a huge get.” “Obviously, I would love to have her support, formal support. I think that it would be very, very meaningful.” This story has been updated with additional information. ™ & © 2023 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros. Discovery Company. All rights reserved.
Inequalities in regional excess mortality and life expectancy during the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe Hajdu Tamás, Krekó Judit, Tóth G. Csaba Using data for 201 regions (NUTS 2) in Europe, we examine the mortality burden of the COVID-19 pandemic and how the mortality inequalities between regions changed between 2020 and 2022. We show that over the three years of the pandemic, not only did the level of excess mortality rate change considerably, but also its geographical distribution. Focusing on life expectancy as a summary measure of mortality conditions, we find that the variance of regional life expectancy increased sharply in 2021 but returned to the pre-pandemic level in 2022. The 2021 increase was due to a much higher-than-average excess mortality in regions with lower pre-pandemic life expectancy. While the life expectancy inequality has returned to its pre-pandemic level in 2022, the observed life expectancy in almost all regions is far below that expected without the pandemic.
What is Sexual Harassment? What do we do when we experience sexual harassment? Where and how do we seek help? A recent article in Kuensel from a concerned citizen on her unpleasant experience with a parking fee collector has prompted the crucial need to answer these questions with utmost urgency. Despite strong political commitment and a supportive legal and policy framework, gender-based violence and violence against women and children in Bhutan remains a significant problem.Sexual harassment continues to go unnoticed and unreported to a large extent as in many cases victims are unsure about where to seek help from or whether their experience would be considered as sexual harassment. As per the Penal Code of Bhutan (Sections 205 and 206), “a defendant shall be guilty of sexual harassment, if the defendant makes unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal abuse of sexual nature,” and the offence of sexual harassment is a petty misdemeanor and of criminal nature. Sexual harassment includes staring or leering, unwelcome touching, suggestive comments, taunts, insults or jokes, displaying pornographic images, sending sexually explicit emails or text messages, and repeated sexual or romantic requests. It also includes behaviors such as sexual assault, stalking or indecent exposure. The Constitution of the Kingdom of Bhutan 2008 (Article 9 (17) and (18)–whereby the state endeavors to take appropriate measures to eliminate all forms of discrimination and exploitation against women including trafficking, prostitution, abuse, violence, harassment and intimidation at work in both public and private spheres; and ensure that children are protected against all forms of discrimination and exploitation including trafficking, prostitution, abuse, violence, degrading treatment and economic exploitation); and the Domestic Violence Prevention Act 2013 and the Child Care and Protection Act 2011includes commitment and appropriate redressal and protection measures to eliminate sexual harassment. Sexual harassment at the workplace is referred to as “unwelcome verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is severe or pervasive and affects working conditions or creates a hostile work environment.” It is the most stereotypical form of sexual harassment. There are numerous assumptions about sexual harassment like – it occurs on rare occasions; it is trivial and harmless flirtation; if not intentionally done it is not sexual harassment; victims are all females. However, the truth is that – sexual harassment is rampant and at least 40 to 60 percent of working women have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace at least once in their lifetime; victims of sexual harassment suffer from psychological symptoms and often are forced to resign from work; the issue is that even if its unintentional it is unwelcome; and males can also be objects of sexual harassment. In an effort to respond to and provide assistance on issues related to sexual harassment the Labor and Employment Act 2007 (Sections 16 to 20) and under its ‘Regulations of Working Conditions 2012’ requires all employers of companies registered under the Companies Act of the Kingdom of Bhutan 2000 and enterprises with a capital input in excess of 1 million Ngultrums, to have a Sexual Harassment Policy and a written complaints procedure for victims to lodge a formal complaint against the harasser. The Civil Service Act of Bhutan 2010 (Section 38 (g)) and the Bhutan Civil Service Rules and Regulations 2017 (Section 3.3.14) under the Code of Conduct for Civil Servants provides a clear definition of sexual harassment and a sexual harassment complaints redressal mechanism with the introduction of the ‘Go To Person’ under the Civil Service Support Desk. Further, the National Commission for Women and Children introduced the implementation of the ‘Internal Framework to Address Gender Issues at the Workplace’ as a mandatory indicator under the Annual Performance Agreement for all government ministries, agencies and Dzongkhags. This Framework puts in place a sexual harassment complaints procedure for dealing with sexual harassment within the sector and comprises the appointment of a Committee and a focal point for dealing with sexual harassment issues. It also includes sensitization on sexual harassment and creating a gender friendly and conducive work environment for women at the workplace. The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Case Management for Women and Children in Difficult Circumstances developed by the NCWC, provides a comprehensive coordination framework involving all the key service providers and a step by step procedure for handling complaints. As such, in addition to the above mechanisms that are available for workplace sexual harassment, an individual may also choose to report to the Royal Bhutan Police, the National Commission for Women and Children (NCWC), health or counselling services or any relevant Civil Society Organization. Walk-in complaints, reporting by telephone and complaints through the Toll Free Helplines of RBP (113) and the NCWC (1098) are the ways by which individuals can lodge complaints on sexual harassment that occur in any kind of setting (at homes, schools, institutions, shelters, public places, work places, etc.). While concerted efforts are being made by all the service providers working to reduce or eliminate the protection issues faced by women and children, it is crucial that players at all levels provide full commitment towards strengthening the prevention and protection system through adequate support especially in providing the supportive environment and specialized services that are critically needed.

Kaum englisch sprechend, startete ich im Jahre 1934 den populären Weekly Illustrated, danach die Zeitschrift Lilliput im Jahr 1937 und Picture Post im Jahre 1938. 1940 verließ ich England. Es folgten die Magazine Lilliput und Picture Post für Amerika ... [Unable to speak hardly any English at all, I started the popular Weekly Illustrated in 1934, and after that the magazine Lilliput in 1937 and the Picture Post in 1938. I left England in 1940. Afterwards came the Lilliput and Picture Post magazines for America … (ed. trans.)] Stefan Lorant, Einige Worte über mich selbst, [A few words about myself], 1979 Photographers who were forced to go into exile experienced less difficulty working in their new environment than other visual artists or those whose medium was more closely linked to language, for example. On the one hand, the relatively young photographic medium had developed fewer national characteristics, which simplified the move to other market conditions and recipients. On the other hand, Germany had been a first country of exile for many photographers working there; they had already developed the necessary adaptability. Many photographers who went into exile made a decisive impact on the photography of their host countries, as the photographic medium had advanced considerably in Germany during the 1920s and early 1930s in particular. This was true of both the artistic photography of the Weimar Republic and press photography and reportage. Artistic photography had a special affinity with the Bauhaus, and there was a growing market of illustrated magazines for press photography. This led to high demand for good-quality images. Many photographers incorporated their experience working for German illustrated magazines into their work in exile. The artistic trends from Germany were adopted gladly in the picture editorial offices of illustrated magazines in England, France and the USA. Other fields in which photographers from Germany also made a name in exile were portrait and fashion photography. Inasmuch as photographers in exile assimilated fresh visual stimuli, this had decisive effects on their individual artistic styles. Camera in hand, they wandered through metropolises like Paris, London and New York and experimented with montage, collage, double and multiple exposures: stylistic means that they had developed, for the most part, as elements of a modern photographic language before their exile. New expressive forms were triggered by the optical impact of diverse architectural elements, different fashions, big-city traffic in New York in particular, and a novel aesthetic of interior design. A country like Palestine offered photographers in exile completely different sources of inspiration. There, impulses for artistic work arose from the construction of a young state. Photography in Palestine documented an important historical process, and its images influenced the self-definition of people living in the new state. Because they frequently experienced full integration into their countries of exile, only a small number of emigrant photographers returned to Germany.

Cu6Sn5 is the most common and important intermetallic compound (IMC) formed between Sn-based solders and Cu substrates during soldering. The Cu6Sn5 IMC exhibits significantly different thermomechanical properties from the solder alloys and the substrate. The progress of high-density three-dimensional (3D) electrical packaging technologies has led to increased operating temperatures, and interfacial Cu6Sn5 accounts for a larger volume fraction of the fine-pitch solder joints in these packages. Knowledge of creep and the mechanical behavior of Cu6Sn5 at elevated temperatures is therefore essential to understanding the deformation of a lead-free solder joint in service. In this work, the effects of temperature and Ni solubility on creep and mechanical properties of Cu6Sn5 were investigated using energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and nanoindentation. The reduced modulus and hardness of Cu6Sn5 were found to decrease as temperature increased from 25 C to 150 C. The addition of Ni increased the reduced modulus and hardness of Cu6Sn5 and had different effects on the creep of Cu6Sn5 at room and elevated temperatures.

Results of a four-year study on phytoplankton in Hakozaki Harbor, Hakata Bay, Japan indicated that Akashiwo sanguinea (Hirasaka) Hansen et Moestrup was the cause of frequent blooms during the late fall period when centric diatoms such as Skeletonema costatum and genus Chaetoceros declined. In laboratory experiments, the growth of A. sanguinea was found to be strongly inhibited in bi-algal cultures with S. costatum and Chaetoceros didymum, but just slightly with Asterionella japonica. Furthermore, when A. sanguinea was cultured in nitrogen and phosphorus enriched filtrates with media on which S. costatum and C. didymum had grown densely, the growth rate of A. sanguinea in the filtrates was significantly lower than that in fresh control medium. These results suggest that in spring and summer allelopathy of bloomed centric diatoms was an important factor that inhibited the growth of A. sanguinea but in the late fall when the cell density of these diatoms declined, A. sanguinea could form blooms.

This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant Colombian guitarist and composer Eblis Alvarez started Meridian Brothers back in 1998 as a vehicle for his own experimental music. Over the years, the group has evolved into a five-piece band focused on re-interpreting all manners of Latin Tropical styles with a strong psychedelic and experimental sensibility. The Meridian Brothers’ music uses popular Latin American rhythms, augmented by sampling techniques, elaborate effect processing, and Eblis’ quirky and theatrical vocals, which channel imaginary characters with both pathos and humor. Meridian’s new project is a tribute to New York’s 70’s era Salsa Dura. For the project, they have created an avatar, a fictitious group named El Grupo Renacimiento, and written a new repertoire trying to emulate the writing style of those late 60’s and early 70’s groups while retaining the Meridian Brothers idiosyncratic style of arranging and recording.
As Lent ushers in a period of reflection, penance, and preparation, Catholics are invited to deepen their spiritual journey through the Sacrament of Confession. This sacrament offers a profound opportunity for healing, forgiveness, and a renewed relationship with God. Throughout history, saints and spiritual leaders have extolled the virtues of Confession, highlighting its importance as a cornerstone of Catholic life. The Saints on Confession Saint Padre Pio, a fervent advocate for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, often said, "Confession is the soul's bath. Even a clean and unoccupied room gathers dust; return after a week and you will see it needs dusting again!" This vivid imagery underscores the necessity of regular confession for spiritual cleanliness and health. St. Jean Marie Vianney, known as the Curé d'Ars and patron saint of parish priests, spent up to 16 hours a day in the confessional. He believed deeply in the power of Confession to transform lives, stating, "The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works." His dedication exemplifies the sacrament's potential to lead souls towards holiness and away from sin. Pope St. John Paul II, too, emphasized the liberating power of this sacrament: "Confession is an act of honesty and courage - an act of entrusting ourselves, beyond sin, to the mercy of a loving and forgiving God." His words remind us of the courage required to confront our weaknesses and the divine mercy that meets us in our vulnerability. Making a Good Confession To fully avail oneself of the sacrament's healing grace, there are three key steps to making a good confession: Examination of Conscience: Before stepping into the confessional, spend time in quiet reflection to review your life since your last confession. Consider your actions, words, and thoughts against the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Jesus. This introspection helps to uncover areas of sin, both big and small, that need to be confessed. Sincere Contrition: True repentance involves more than just listing off sins; it requires a heartfelt sorrow for having offended God, along with the desire to amend one's life. The Act of Contrition, a prayer recited during the sacrament, expresses this sincere regret and the resolve to avoid future sin. As St. Augustine once said, "The confession of evil works is the beginning of good works." Firm Purpose of Amendment: A good confession must be coupled with the resolve to change. This means making a sincere effort to avoid the near occasions of sin and to work on those areas of weakness identified during your examination of conscience. It's about turning away from sin and towards God in a concrete, deliberate way. The Impact of a Good Confession The benefits of a good confession extend beyond the individual, affecting their relationships with others and with God. It restores us to grace, strengthens our resolve to live as disciples of Christ, and renews our peace of heart. In the words of Pope Francis, "The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a sacrament of healing... When I go to confess, it's in order to heal: to heal the soul, to heal the heart because of something I did to make it unwell." The Lenten season offers a special invitation to engage with the Sacrament of Confession more deeply, to experience the profound healing and renewal it brings. By preparing through examination of conscience, approaching with sincere contrition, and resolving to amend our lives, we open ourselves to the transformative grace of God's forgiveness. Let us heed the wisdom of the saints and embrace this chance for spiritual renewal, making this Lent a journey towards greater holiness and deeper communion with God.
Why do good people suffer? Why is my family experiencing this pain? Why am I given such a heavy cross to carry? Fr. Nilo A. Lardizabal, OP, tries to answer these difficult questions in this article. As a Catholic pastor, I have heard a lot of stories from people of all ages relating their struggles with making sense of suffering. Now the sufferings they say are sometimes light in nature, but some are really intense. I for my part try to provide a listening ear because sometimes that is all they need. Many times Bible passages fall short of comforting them at the moment. Then everything goes down to the question of “why”. “Why did God allow this?” “Why am I in pain?” “Why my family?” “Why me?” Of course I give it gently to them that I do not have the answers to these questions. But I do know two things: 1) The Lord will never give us something beyond our capacities, and 2) the Lord will never abandon us even at the most trying moments of our lives. This is definitely easier said than done or believed, but one’s faith will make him or her cling to the reality of God’s love. According to the Apostolic Letter Salvifici Doloris by the late Pope John Paul II, suffering is more than just experiencing pain, “it includes both physical suffering and moral suffering – grief, loss, injustice, loneliness and powerlessness” are some examples. And unfortunately, many people share these emotions one time or another. In confessions and counseling, many people, young and old, cry out their intense emotional and physical pain. They struggle to the depths of their being with making sense of suffering. Learning from Jesus Himself Did not the Lord Jesus himself cry out at the garden? Left alone to weep and uncared for by his sleeping disciples, didn’t he beg the Father to “take this cup from me?” (cf. Matthew 26:39) This is Jesus himself facing and seeing the shameful suffering He is to endure. Yet it was the same suffering which brought our redemption – every drop of blood and every tear shed is culminated in the great act of LOVE. Our present Pope, Benedict XVI wrote a very significant document about the meaning of Christian suffering. He himself said that in human agony there lies “the very heart of salvation itself.” How so? It is because the Lord Jesus, though God-made-man, willfully and lovingly endured the pain of the cross because of love. Look at any crucifix, gaze at it and see and feel the torment that Jesus felt. He did that for us. Faced with this reality and historical truth, can we also say “why”? Learning from Job No one excels in relating the reality of suffering than Job himself. He was at the point of blaming God for all his miseries. Yet he trusted all the more. It was the only thing he could do. Job chapter 6, verses 2-3 shows the great remorse and suffering of this poor man. Yet he came to a stark realization. Like a good parent, God allows hardship to strengthen the suffering soul. God speaks through suffering. “Man is chastened with pain upon his bed...” (Job 33, 19). And Job 36: 15 – “He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear by adversity.” So we learn, like Job, that suffering does not mean being abandoned by the Lord. Yes, it may be a form of testing of faith. So be it! Suffering will make us strong. Not that we have to want it or wait for it. But this may be an opportunity for the individual to trust in the Lord. Pope St. John Paul II again, relates in his very beautiful Apostolic Letter Salvifici Doloris – On the Meaning of Human Suffering, that “the significance of suffering is not a punishment for evil (that we have done); but it does call for a recognition of evil (in the world), and so it calls us to conversion, to turn away from evil.” This was what Job tried to realize, and was successful in it. The Lord never abandons us; nor does He totally allow that we suffer without any meaning. There is significance in suffering, and it is supposed to make us stronger Christians. Yes, sometimes we learn about life the hard way. Yet there is always the mystery of love in it. Learning from the Past Years before I entered the seminary, I asked the very same thing. As an active lector and commentator, I always thought the Lord was at my side. Then a horrible thing happened. My father was involved in a terrible car accident. My whole world crumbled and could not accept the incident. Faced with the difficult truth of the matter, confusion gave way to anger – anger at the Lord. I even had the guts to say to His face that I have been serving in Church actively – “why did you allow this to happen?” Yes, it was the same ‘why’ we always ask the Lord. But to make a long story short, it was the Lord himself who proved that he never forgets his promise of care for all those who love Him. My father was alive and it was a miracle! Looking back and fitting the pieces of the puzzle, my suffering began to make sense. The Lord was teaching me and my family that above all the material possessions and all the plans, it is His will which is done. Jeremiah 29: 11 says: “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans not to harm you, but to give you a hope and a future.” Isn’t this comforting? Even in the midst of difficulties and sufferings, the Lord assures us of the benefit that may result from it. Pope Benedict XVI says that “suffering makes us better”. Better and harder Christians – ready to face trials with complete trust in the Lord. Again, we cannot but trust. The option is either to suffer more due to despair and depression, or to see the light hidden in the dark cloud. No one will make this decision. One must abandon oneself to the Lord. He knows what He is doing. Isaiah 55: 9 states the following: “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than my thoughts.” If this is so, what then can the suffering Christian do? It is the Lord Jesus himself who answers: Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11: 28-30). So many action words! As action, it must be done. “COME”. Those who are suffering can draw close to the Lord. Never be afraid to weep or cry. The Lord understands. “TAKE”. Jesus himself said this at the Last Supper – we partake of the same Jesus who gave himself as bread to nourish our souls. “LEARN”. Jesus was not alien to suffering. But he trusted in the Lord. “REST”. The Lord asks us to abandon ourselves to His caring arms and we will be comforted. But we must decide for this. Allow Pope St. John Paul II in his Letter to end this article: In Christ, our suffering is not only human but also supernatural. It is human because, in suffering, we discover ourselves, our own humanity, dignity and mission. It is supernatural because it is rooted in the divine mystery of the redemption of the world.
It’s funny how an experience that was once terrifying is now liberating. In 2009, I made an investment in a photography workshop that, truthfully, completely changed my business. It altered my vision. At the time, the decision to go the workshop was a difficult one. Of course, I wanted to, but I wasn’t sure it would be a worthwhile investment as a new business owner who had mile long lists of things to be purchased, upgraded, and obtained. But for reasons I can no longer recall, I decided to go. To just say yes. The workshop was hosted by one of the leaders in the photography industry, Jose Villa. At the workshop (which took place in Italy), Jose surprised the attendees with a day trip to Florence to explore and take photos. The catch was that we could only bring one camera and one lens. Though I always travel utilizing this method for personal trips now, when Jose first presented this challenge, it was terrifying. Terrifying. As a former digital photographer, I was used to the capricious feeling of having an almost limitless ability to fire off hundreds or thousands of photos on a whim. I had an arsenal of lenses and equipment, and wasn’t always intentional with my photography, knowing that if I messed up a shot, I could simply retake it. However, I decided to embrace the challenge, and instead of playing it safe and bringing my easy and comfortable digital camera, I brought a small film camera that I received at the workshop. A camera I had never used or operated to capture once-in-a-lifetime moments from my day in Florence. Not to mention, I only had three rolls of film (36 images in total!) at my disposal. But I took a chance. And fell in love with film. I think I subconsciously knew before the workshop that I wanted to shoot film, but the workshop sealed the deal. As soon as I got home, I started purchasing gear, and slowly started introducing film into my client work. Interestingly, as I became more intentional with my artistry and composition through shooting film, I saw a drastic change in my digital work too. Now I shoot primarily film, and I love it because it helps me to slow down and enjoy the process. Instead of shooting 10 shots and deleting 9, I just take one amazing shot. It’s simple. I’m all about slowing down and simplifying (in all areas of my life and business), so film seems fitting. I love the beautiful, effortless feel. I love the colors. Each artist has their own preferences and film just speaks to me. To me, everything looks prettier on film. This blog post isn’t an endorsement for film. It’s not an argument for film vs. digital. It’s just about taking a chance, finding your passion. Having fun and enjoying the process. Here are a few of those precious 36 images I captured in Florence that day:
If there is one requirement for materials that you’re going to use in a building project, it has to be “quality.” Of course, this can be applied to any products that you’re going to use on a project inside your home or a project outside your home. But, when you are planning to construct a deck, for example, or you’re planning any other exterior project, you must begin with good-quality materials that will give you the results that you want and will stand up to the test of time. This is certainly true with timber products as well as for screws, nails, and related products. The key, then, is to have a reliable source for those items, one that will deliver quality without asking you to empty your bank account in the process. Where will you find such a source? You can get started by visiting the website of leading suppliers such as Basildon Timber, which has been providing excellent service to trade professionals and do-it-yourself property owners for almost three decades. Not only will you find competitive prices on every product but you can also talk to a representative if you’d like to negotiate a discount for bulk orders or a specific project. As you browse the site, be sure to get the information that you need about products such as MDF skirtings and architraves, quality planed softwood, sawn structural timber, decking, panel products of all types, plasterboard, timber mouldings, and, of course, an extensive inventory of nails, screws, and associated fittings. You may also want to consider this your source for wood preservers, Postcrete, joist and jiffy hangers, restraint straps, and gallows brackets, to name just a few of the items that you’ll find. Once you’ve devoted some time to the gallery of product images and shopped for the building items that you need, be sure to call and talk to a member of the team about other products that have been added to the inventory. You’ll also have access to safety footwear and equipment designed to make your project move forward smoothly and safely. When you work with one of the top providers in this field, you also benefit from the convenience of online shopping. A visit to this section brings you to a range of products for outdoor and garden tasks, a complete line of timber products, and much more. If you’re a first-time customer and you don’t know much about the supplier you’re considering, take some time to read reviews from past and current customers. This is a great way to find out just how dependable a company can be. You’ll see words such as “helpful” and “quality service,” which will indicate that you’re on the right path. You’ll be taking the first step toward establishing a good working relationship with a reliable supplier that you can depend on in the future whether you’re in the trades and need quality materials or you’re taking on a DIY project on your own property. Why shop anywhere else?
As weed is gaining in popularity among medical cannabis users and recreational users, dispensaries offer a wide variety of cannabis products. The most common ones include different kinds of topicals, tinctures, salves, and dabs, although cannabis butter and cannabis oil are also being used a lot. We have already covered how you can make your own cannabutter as well as a recipe for weed brownies from it, and now we are focussing on making canna oil. If you’ve ever thought of making your own cannabis oil, below you’ll find the method for making homemade cannabis oil, and how you can use it afterward. Types of Weed Oils Before we get into the method of making cannabis oil, first we need to explain what types of oils you can make from the cannabis plant species. THC oil, cannabis oil, or marijuana oil are only different names for one of the most common oils you can make from the cannabis plant. This is an oil that is made with a high concentration of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and it can be used both medicinally and recreationally. This compound oil consists of several compounds that don’t contain THC. Cannabidiol (CBD) is the main compound in this oil, and apart from CBD, it can contain cannabinoids like CBDA, CBC, CBGA, CBD, CBCA. As CBD oil doesn’t have THC in it, it doesn’t provide psychoactive effects in users and is most commonly used for medical marijuana patients. Hemp oil refers to the oil from the hemp seed. The seeds of hemp are a byproduct of the production of hemp which is used in the clothing industry, the car industry, and others. It also doesn’t have psychoactive effects on users since it doesn’t contain THC. How to Make Cannabis Oil and Why You Should Make It? Infusing your carrier oil with cannabis is a fairly easy method, all it takes is some time and a few simple ingredients. Cannabis oil is a great way to consume your medical marijuana if you’ve grown tired of your vape pen or joint. Also, it’s a good way to spice up your cooking, and you can also use up excess marijuana trim, kief, or hash you have lying around. Moreover, when infusing your cooking oil with cannabis, the terpenes which are present in marijuana can give your canna-oil a unique flavor. In order to make it, you’ll need to mix your carrier oil and your decarboxylated cannabis. You can choose from coconut, canola, vegetable, avocado, or olive oil. Different kinds of oils will give a specific flavor to your finished product, so choose the one you like best. All that’s left is to choose your favorite Indica or Sativa strain and get cooking. What to Do Prior to Making Homemade Cannabis Oil? What You Need Before you start making your cannabis oil, you’ll need all the ingredients and kitchen equipment needed. Those include: - 1 cup of ground cannabis flower (use more or less depending on the desired potency); - 1 cup of cooking oil at room temperature (whichever you prefer); - Mesh strainer or cheesecloth; - Double-boiler, slow cooker, crockpot (depending on the method you choose to make your cannabis oil); - Glass bowl; - Storage container (mason jar with a lid); - Recommended: a probe thermometer. After you have all your ingredients, all that’s left to do is to decarboxylate your weed. Decarboxylation is needed to activate the raw compounds found in weed by losing their carboxylic acid. When you decarb tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) and Cannabidiolic acid (CBDa) you get weed’s main cannabinoids Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD). In order to decarb your weed, you’ll need to grind it and heat it at the appropriate temperature which is about 235 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius) for about an hour. Afterward, you can proceed to make your canna-oil by using your already decarbed weed. Recipe for Cannabis Cooking Oil on the Stove Top This simple cannabis oil recipe will give you your own homemade cannabis oil in about an hour. For this recipe, we’ll be using coconut oil. - Grind your decarbed cannabis, but be careful not to grind it into a small powder, since you won’t be able to strain it properly after you make your oil. - Add water to the bottom part of your double-boiler, place your coconut oil inside, and heat it until it melts. - Combine the melted oil with the decarbed cannabis and infuse it over low heat for 30 to 60 minutes. - Stir your cannabis occasionally and if you have a thermometer, check to see if your oil is below 200 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) during the infusion time. - After you’ve infused the oil, line a mesh strainer with a cheesecloth, and place it over a glass bowl. Pour the concoction over the strainer in order to separate the plant matter from the oil. Don’t squeeze on the cheesecloth so you don’t get more chlorophyll in the oil. You can either discard the remaining plant material or use it in other dishes. - Place the oil in a mason jar and leave it to cool at room temperature. Storage and Dosing Ok, you’ve now learned how to make canna oil, but how do you store it? First of all, your cannabis oil should be stored in a cool dark place, or in the fridge. The cannabis oil’s shelf life is between 6 months and a year. After that time, if your oil doesn’t get moldy, you can still use it. Keep in mind that THC naturally degrades after time and converts to a sleepy cannabinoid called CBN. The strength of your cannabis oil will depend on the amount of cannabis and the amount of oil that you’ve included in the infusion, and also the THC levels of the cannabis strain. When dosing your marijuana oil, make sure that you adjust the amounts of cannabis to your tolerance. It’s best to start with a low dose and see how it affects you. Using Your Weed Oil You can use your homemade cannaoil to make delicious homemade edibles like weed brownies, use it to make capsules, pain salves, in your skincare method, incorporate it into your tea, coffee, peanut butter, or smoothies. Your cannabis-infused oil is a great way to test different cooking and baking recipes. Make sure that you don’t burn the oil if you’re reheating it when cooking in order to keep the amount of THC the same as when you initially made it. Final Thoughts on Making Canna Oil Canna oil is one of the most versatile cannabis products and can be used in cooking, baking, skin treatments, and pain salves. Making it at home is a fairly easy procedure which requires infusing your preferred oil with your decarbed cannabis on the stove or in the crockpot. Infused butter and oil are a great way to get your daily dose of medical marijuana, or a new way of consuming cannabis if you want to try something new. Just make sure that the dose you take is appropriate to your tolerance since edibles take a longer time to kick in compared to vaping and smoking.
Solar inverters are devices that convert the direct current produced by solar panels into the alternating current required by the power grid. However, some users who use solar power are very concerned about whether solar inverters produce noise. Today, we will explore whether solar inverters make noise and how to reduce noise. Does the solar inverter produce noise? In general, solar inverters do not produce significant noise during normal operation. Their typical operating noise is between 35-45 decibels, which is equivalent to the natural harmonious sound of the outdoor environment. Therefore, solar inverters do not produce significant noise like large equipment such as diesel generators. How to reduce the noise of solar inverters? In some cases, you may feel that the noise of the new type of inverter is too loud. If you feel this way, there are some ways to reduce the noise: (1) Install a soundproof hood A soundproof hood is a simple and effective way to reduce noise. You can install a soundproof hood around the solar inverter to reduce the noise by more than 10%. (2) Choose a new type of inverter There are new types of solar inverters on the market that are equipped with advanced noise reduction technology, high power conversion efficiency, and low noise. (3) Change the installation location Sometimes, if you install the solar inverter in a location far from the residential area, such as a garage or garden, you can reduce the perception of noise. In summary, solar inverters do not produce excessive noise, but if you feel that the solar inverter is noisy, you can use the above three methods to solve it. This not only reduces noise but also improves the efficiency and lifespan of the solar inverter. If you want to purchase a solar inverter, you can consider a new type of solar inverter equipped with advanced noise reduction technology, which can make your life better.

I am clearing out my sock drawer. Throwing out sock with holes in the heels, made by my rough skin rubbing against the fabric. Throwing out the ugly socks that I had no intentions of wearing. How did they end up in my sock drawer, anyway? I reach into the drawer, looking for something else to discard, and I pull out a cream-colored garment. Holding it up, I automatically stretch it between my hands. I hear the elastic crinkle and pop as it stretches out and stays out. All the elasticity it once had disappeared over the years it was in my sock drawer. I am holding up the girdle I wore eight years ago on my wedding day. Girdles seem so outdated. I suppose they are no longer called “girdles,” but rather “shape smoothers” or something like that. No matter what they call it, it’s still a girdle. The year I was to be married, I felt outdated as well. I felt like an old bride, getting married at the age of 33. Shopping for wedding dresses was extremely difficult; I had had a mastectomy when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 27. That meant I didn’t have cleavage to show. My scar extends under my arm, where the surgeon removed lymph nodes. I have a nice bulge of fat by that scar. A sleeveless wedding dress was also out of the question. Have you ever shopped for wedding dresses? Finding one with my specifications seemed like it would be impossible. I drove from wedding shop to wedding shop, looking at plunging neckline after plunging neckline. My budget was also slim, and so spending a lot of money on a custom-made dress was out of the question. Not only that, but taking an estrogen-reducing medication for five years had caused me to gain weight. I was very self-conscious about that bulge around my middle. Watching younger, skinnier women trying on skimpy, sexy wedding dresses made me feel old. Made me feel as old and stretched out as a piece of old, worn-out elastic. But then, I found the dress. The dress I would wear. And it would do. The day of my wedding came. As I gazed at my husband-to-be, waiting for me at end of the aisle, I could feel the love radiating from him. All those outdated feelings melted away. He only had eyes for me. He still does. This was my response for this week’s prompt at The Red Dress Club.

Overall, ADB fielded eight review missions, including the MTR. Karnataka Integrated and Sustainable Water Resources Management Investment Program - Project 1
Carrying on from our posts about the season return (posted June 6th) & the restart schedule (posted June 27) I thought we’d share these with you. The NBA have put out this clear timeline. EACH TEAM’S SCHEDULE PLAYER UPDATE – BROOKLYN NETS According to Woj the Brooklyn Nets will be seeking replacements to their squad. The Nets have two players tested positive for COVID-19, being DeAndre Jordan & Spencer Dinwiddie. Jordan has already elected not to play in the restarted league & Dinwiddie is said to be considering also sitting out. Sporting rivalry aside we wish them both a speedy recovery & their families well. Wilson Chandler has also decided to sit out to be with his family. Nic Claxton has under gone surgery. Already without Kevin Durant & Kyrie Irving the Nets could be facing a difficult restart. PLAYER UPDATE – WASHINGTON WIZARDS Along with the absence of Davis Bertans & John Wall it is being reported that Bradley Beal has not committed himself to travel to Orlando yet. As yet the Wizards have no filled Bertans spot. This obviously improves our prospects on paper but we have to turn up & perform. Nothing is ever given in the NBA. How I’d love us to still be playing come October!

In fact, the computer work might not be a dynamic job, but it can surely take a charge on the body. When you sit at a desk for many hours of the day, you are more possible to practice the physical and mental hurt. Also, sitting all the day can set a step for inactive lifestyle as well as improving the risk for chronic 2 health problems such as heart disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes as per the research. If you sit all the day in front of computer, you should definitely visit this sitehttps://theisozone.com/stay-healthy-if-you-sit-at-a-computer-all-day to find the 6 clever ways to stay healthy. Maintain proper seating position Being aware of your sitting position can assist you feel better always. The poor posture can even cause joint and muscular strain and also neck and back pain, weariness. Invest in ergonomic furniture If your budget allows it, you can invest in ergonomic furniture like a standing chair or desk with an enough seat cushion with lumbar support. Take breaks on a routine basis If you sit in a similar position for a long time period, most of your muscles will tighten. This could consequence in tension and pain, as well as makes it complex to move even after you have completed your work. Drink plenty of water as well If you are sitting all the day, staying hydrated is more essential. In general, we lose water via breathing, sweating and other regular biological operations all over the day. Staying hydrated will replace those lost fluids and stop dehydration. Keep your computer in a right position If you are searching too far down from a line of your sight, you may experience neck and back pain. Thus, it is good to use a stack of books or a system stand. Blink your eyes more When you sit in front of your system, you must blink more often. You need to do this in every 20 minutes.

A Saudi mother who just achieved her degree with his son recently proved this. The most amazing thing is that both the mother and the son achieved the same degree on the same day. A Saudi woman Reema Al Howash and her son Abdul Rahman obtained their degree in Psychology on the same day from the same university. The mother and the son pursued their higher studies under the Kingdom’s foreign scholarship Program and successfully achieved the degree from a prestigious American University. Abdul Rehman said his mother supported and motivated him to study further. He said he felt uncomfortable with his study but his mother stood there to solve his difficulties and motivated him to resume his study. Hence, he switched to his mother’s favorite subject. The son feels more gratified with the graduation of his mother than his own. Before completing the graduation in Psychology, she had also completed her doctorate in Neurofeedback treatment (the method that assists to control the brain waves consciously). Now after her degree in psychology she became the first woman in the Kingdom to obtain a doctorate in this specialization. Source: Saudi Gazette

“Surely Jehovah is in this place – and I did not know it!” Genesis 28:1 I had spent many years working on my Covenant study and finally was determined to get it finished and published. One day, at an assisted living facility where I worked as chaplain, I was talking to a resident’s son, who had charismatic leanings. He paused and mentioned that I was working on publishing a book, and seemed to indicate that it was something the Lord had revealed to him. I do not think that I had ever told him about my aspiration, and it quite took me by surprise. We never had a chance to talk further before he had to leave and sheepishly I must confess that I no longer remember what he said. But what did hit me like a ton of bricks was the realization that I was noticed – God noticed me! Here I am this little person buried away here on planet earth and I was noticed. The irony of it is that this is a theme that I frequently bring in in sermons, writings, and other things, and suddenly here it was right in my face. It is the kind of thing where you know something, and yet you do not really realize it. It was interesting in its effect on me. In a sense I had been drifting along on different levels, but now I felt I needed to sharpen up and have renewed effort. It was not as if I was going to try to impress God, it was just that I became conscious of the fact that I needed to be serious about what I was doing and being. In many respects, this was also the situation with Jacob. Up to this point he had been going about his own business, and what a sordid business it had been. He had cheated, lied and deceived. As an opportunist, rather than helping to protect his brother’s birthright, he took it for himself. Then, even though God had promised it to him from birth, yet in conspiracy with his mother, he deceived in order to get the Covenant blessing, and in essence tore apart his family. Now he was on the run for his life from his brother. It could be that he may have felt that he was in control of his life and had felt pretty successful – after all, in two important areas he had “won,” and, besides these two really big “scores,” probably there were many other not-as-notable successes where he had gotten his way. Although he had to “keep his head down” as he was running away, it is not hard to imagine him gloating over how he had been able to “pull it off” and had gotten what he wanted. Who knows – maybe he was contemplating going on the “talk circuit” to teach others how they also could become the success like he was. Yet Jacob’s life was a mess. He was playing little five-and-dime games, while he never realized just what the stakes truly were. Yes, the Covenant blessing was important, but it was not merely some trophy to be won. This blessing was to reach down through generations and affect the whole world, and perhaps on one level he knew this, yet at the same time he just did not have a clue as to what it all was really about. Most of all, he did not realize that not only was this not a five-and-dime operation, this wasn’t even the minor leagues – he was playing in Jehovah’s big league. And this God would be not be deceived nor manipulated. The vision of the stairway to the throne of God and of angels going about their business must have left Jacob’s eyes wide open in astonishment. He had felt pretty important in his little deceptive maneuverings, but now he was like a small five-year-old clutching his stuffed teddy bear, looking up at angels who were surrounding him as they went about their God-given tasks, angels with real power and with real significance. They were linked to the God of the Universe – just what was he connected to? They were involved in something that had eternal consequence – just how did his successes compare to that? And then God stood next to him. How he must have realized that he was not some hidden nobody who was just drifting along doing his own thing. God was looking directly at him. And God was talking to him. By now, how absolutely foolish he must have felt with God standing right there. Possibly what Jacob was amazed at was what God did not say. The Lord did not threaten nor condemn him, which Jacob must have fully expected by now. After all, God had every right to do that, but was it really necessary? It seems that everything else which Jacob was experiencing was enough to bring this self-centered man to his knees. What must have been most astonishing was what Jehovah of Covenant did say: not only was He not speaking words of condemnation, instead He was speaking words of promise. Did you ever have a time where you realized that because your being bull-headed, rebellious and foolish, everything should have fallen in on you, and yet the Lord still made it all turn out all right? That probably was Jacob in the midst of the angels swirling around him on God’s business, realizing that everything should be collapsing in upon him, and yet here was God speaking words of comfort and hope. Yes, it was quite apparent that Jacob was not worthy, yet here was God affirming the promises of the Covenant blessing which Jacob had so unnecessarily taken by deception, the Covenant blessing that God would have given in a far more peaceful way. What was more was that God was pledging His companionship through everything that was to come. Performance anxiety and the stress that goes together with it is to work together with their partner or with themselves. cialis viagra cheap unica-web.com sildenafil generic sale Next time, you take this medicine, remember its positive effects and never disappoints its consumers. Apart from this the drug offers a very low cost which makes it a hit with its buyer. Men taking nitrates or alpha-blockers should not use this medicine, as the fatty meals affect drug’s execution period and delays the results. You might say that Jacob woke up twice that morning, not only did he wake from sleep, but he was also awakened to the presence of God – God was looking at him, and he had a place in God’s plans. Moses also had a similar experience to this [Exodus 3]. No, he wasn’t the deceiver that Jacob was; however, although he had grown up in Pharaoh’s court and had royal training, he never forgot that he was an Israelite and he had a heart for his people. Like Jacob, he had tried to take matters into his own hands; and it equally ended badly, where, like Jacob, he also had to run for his life. Forty years later, like Jacob, he also was drifting aimlessly in his life when suddenly, at the burning bush, he came to realize that God was looking directly at him. Moses’ bewilderment would echo in the best of us: standing in the presence of God, he was very conscious of how unworthy he was. But most of all, he really did not want to have a place in God’s plans. He was content with the five-and-dime type of life, herding sheep – but now the Lord indicated that as part of God’s People, there was no choice: he was in God’s big league and he was part of God’s plans. And like with Jacob, God promised to be with him throughout the whole coming process. Of course, you know the rest of the story, how he had gone down to confront Pharaoh, how God was indeed with him, and how he led the rebellious flock of Israel through the wilderness to the very gates of the Promised Land. However, with Moses’ successor, Joshua, things were a little different. He was named and groomed to be the next leader of Israel. It was not as if he were unfamiliar with the Lord and His Word. However, as Israel faced the fabled walls of Jericho, which was the door-opener to the Promised Land, and this event would set the tone for the coming conquering of the Land, it is no wonder that “the Commander of Jehovah’s Army” stood before this leader of Jehovah’s People [Joshua 5:15]. Although it was no new experience, Joshua realized that God was looking directly at him. Truly he was not merely drifting through life, and he knew that this was no penny-ante game, he knew he was in God’s big league and this indeed was part of God’s eternal plan. Nonetheless, the Lord now stood before him: Jehovah was paying attention; Joshua was not lost somewhere in the cracks. There was affirmation of Jehovah’s promise in the first chapter “as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you” [v 5]. Many others, like Gideon, Samuel, and David, also discovered that God noticed them. The unknown Nathaniel had been noticed by Jesus, even before Philip had called him [John 1:43-51]. He had merely been sitting under a fig tree, probably drifting along, yet now he realized that God in Jesus had been looking at him all along. Yes, these were all famous people with important roles, however, there are countless others. We catch sight of some, such as the Corrie ten Booms; the martyrs like Polycarp and Perpetua; faithful prisoners-of-war under the Nazis, the Japanese, and the Vietnamese; and even those among the common people around us, who have discovered that God has been looking at them. No matter who they are, no matter how insignificant they may seem to be, each has their place in God’s great plan. As we look at these various people, perhaps we find that we also are drifting, like Jacob, or reluctant, like Moses, or simply in need of reassurance, like Joshua. Today we stand before the altar, and especially at the foot of the cross, and discover all over again that “surely Jehovah is in this place!” as we realize that God is looking at us, and He has a place in His plan of salvation for us. Standing with Jacob, Moses and Joshua, perhaps it is with surprise that as the Holy Spirit speaks God’s Word into our hearts, and as we receive Jesus’ own Body and Blood, that we find we are surrounded by words of promise and hope, words of forgiveness and life, words of assurance and comfort, words of strength and purpose. And in the midst of it all, to each one of us God powerfully declares that He will be with us every step of the way until He has accomplished everything that He has been promised. Indeed, “surely Jehovah is in this place!”
Did you know Nebraska was once considered part of “The Great American Desert”? While today we consider our state to be part of the Great Plains, we found this to be a fascinating fact. And we still think the ‘Great’ moniker fits pretty well! This is just one of the fun facts we found when we saw that Liquid Trucking was featured in Fueloyal’s Top 10 Trucking Companies in Nebraska. We are honored to appear on such a list alongside many other companies doing great work here in Nebraska. We are also honored that Fueloyal decided to point out that we have been family-owned since our inception in 1989, and that we are one of the 30 largest tank trucking companies in the US. That we consider ourselves a family company is very important to who we are, and we appreciate that being pointed out. If you haven’t already, head over to Fueloyal and give the list a read. We truly do have a great trucking industry here in Nebraska, filled with good companies and good people. If you’re involved in the trucking industry in Nebraska, make sure you know the people at the Nebraska Trucking Association. They are one of the great assets available to the people and businesses in our industry.

Unfortunatly the far-fetched is the basis for the ongoing DVD DeCSS case, which the MPAA won in the first instance... I should point that the DeCSS code is indispensable to do a DVD reader, even if it's not need to make a DVD copy. As for any reader program making copying easy it's a well-known truth. I remember a case that occured a few years ago when AMD called Intel saying they had some secret documents of them in tape. A guy who had access to eye-only copies of the documents taped with a camera all the documents on the screen and tried to sell them to AMD. So as breaking the DMCA is a public offense in the USA, I wonder why nobody has filed a claim against Adobe or any DVD player's company... Joao Miguel Neves More information about the Discussion

The latter > would be bizarre. Then I want the bizarre. There are a variety of use cases for having a new user profile when in "privacy mode". It would be helpful as a web developer for testing a site as a brand new visitor. It would be helpful when visiting a risky site; maybe the site will try CSRF -- CSRF won't work if I'm surfing under a new user profile that doesn't have any existing cookies. Maybe I want to double-check that Amazon hasn't reverted to their lower-prices-for-people-who-have-never-been-to-Amazon-before pricing strategy, but I still want to keep my original Amazon cookies. Or I want to allow a visitor to use my computer, they use the same sites I do and I don't want them being logged in as me. Or the reverse, I'm at a friends house, the library, etc and I want to visit sites without accidentally logging in as someone else. > The intent of private browsing mode is to say "I don't want other > people using this computer to know that this browser session ever > occurred".

Again, I don't know the backstory to private browsing; I have never used it. But my expectation when I heard about it is that it doesn't leave a footprint on the computer and it starts with a new user profile. And for myself, that behavior is the most useful.

Vacation rentals have been around for some time and long been popular in Europe. VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner) was started in 1995, with the platform making it easier for owners to connect with potential renters. AirBNB came on the scene in 2008 and made the concept more popular in the United States. What started as a way for those with a second home or mother-in-law house to add a little income, quickly became a lucrative business model for real estate investors. Some saw more than double the monthly income by offering a property as a short-term vacation rental instead a long-term rental. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly every industry, but particularly travel and tourism — including vacation rentals. Those who have overleveraged — meaning they’re carrying large amounts of debt on each property — may find themselves unable to stay in the game and losing money by the month from a lack of renters. But, there are also some pros to buying into vacation rentals. Let’s explore both sides. Lucrative cash flow in the right markets The biggest perk to buying and renting vacation properties is the extra cash flow. In high-tourism areas where travelers like to stay downtown — and hotel prices can be steep — vacation rental owners can especially cash in. While AirBNB hosts make around $900 a month on average, these top markets can generate four times that or more. Some investors even rent long-term rental properties and then use rental arbitrage to re-rent them on sites like AirBNB to make a profit. If the amount of money made by listing on a vacation rental site is more than their monthly rent, they’re in the clear and making money by investing nothing. Of course, this hasn’t been nearly as successful in the time of COVID. Enjoy your own vacation time at the property Another benefit goes back to the roots of the model. By owning vacation rental properties in various areas, you can visit them anytime you want for a low-cost vacation and a year-round moneymaker. Many investors purchase these properties in areas they frequently visit for leisure and use them whenever they wish. Have a retirement home or nest egg Those who invest in just one short-term rental may do so with the intention of eventually retiring in the home. Depending on when you start, you may have a significant portion of the mortgage paid off by the time you’re ready to quit your job and retire. This provides a nice bonus to your retirement account and you can move seamlessly without the extra effort of finding your dream home since you’ve already found it — and furnished it! Foreclosures may result in more inventory at lower prices If you haven’t yet invested in the vacation rental market, now may be the time. With many owners over-leveraged, owing on mortgages, and losing bookings as a result of COVID-19, they may be facing foreclosure or looking to offload some properties quickly to get back on track. This presents new investors with easy (and potentially cheap) entrance into the market. Seasonal cash flow While long-term rentals bring a steady, reliable flow of income month after month, short-term rentals are highly seasonal. While you may have scattered bookings during the off-season, a bulk of your income will come during the tourist season — whether that’s summer for a rental near the beach, or fall for a college football town. If you structure your pricing and pay close attention to your expenses, this may not be an issue. Even more risky in light of COVID-19 The pandemic is likely to continue to affect the tourism industry and people moving around in general for another several months, if not until a vaccine is found. By entering the market now, you may be capitalizing on over-leveraged owners, but you’re also taking on a lot of risk. It may be wise to purchase properties in high-tourism areas that could easily be converted into long-term rentals and keeping furnishings conservative, so as not to invest too much. Requires a lot of management The key difference between long-term rentals and vacation rentals is the amount of day-to-day logistics. A long-term renter may call you every several months for a simple leaky pipe or other minor repair. If your short-term rental is booming, you’ll either need to clean and "flip" your unit every couple days or hire someone else to do it — and still manage them and their expenses. Vacation rentals are more hands-on and while there is potential to make more, the trade off is investing more time, energy and money to manage and host guests that change every several days. While short-term vacation home rentals have long been a steady source of income for investors, it has become more risky in light of COVID-19. It will be some time before the tourism industry fully recovers — if ever. While some may get out of the game and convert their short-term properties to long term, the number of potential renters is also severely diminished. You may be safe to invest if you do so smartly — i.e. don’t overleverage — and make sure your properties are easily converted to long-term if another wave of the virus develops. You can run the numbers with our rental calculator to determine the true costs of buying and selling a rental property.
Recently we chatted to the inspiring community activist Henriette Abrahams from Bonteheuwel. She described how the Bonteheuwel Development Forum encouraged the youth to run their arm of the group, the Bonteheuwel Youth Development Forum. ‘The youth have their own meetings around their own issues, such as their security and safety when playing sport on the fields in the township. Young people also highlighted their wellness needs; because our youth is so broken. So, with the support of the BDF we put together a 6-day mental health and wellness camp as we have youth that have seen their brothers being shot dead on the streets; there is bullying and gender-based violence they are exposed to in the home. We invited about 300 women, and we chose those women very carefully. People had to go onto the streets and identify cases of loss, grief, abuse, rape among the youth. The women who needed to go out to the children then said: Henriette, but you know how difficult this is, because it’s triggering us also; we need training and counselling for ourselves before we can help our community. And that is where we started in the following year with the mental health and wellness programme. So yes, your struggles on the ground are heart wrenching. And at the same time, you need to be so responsive and what we’ve learned in the BDF, is that we don’t wait for anybody; we make things happen for ourselves with whatever little resources we can get. For instance, when we didn’t have money to take people to an office to go for counselling, I made my house available to save on transport costs. And then we made food; one person would give bread; another would bring money for cool drink. To fundraise we just went to particular individuals, private funders, and said this is the work that needs to happen and these are the costs. And we asked some friends and people in business. Not organisations, just people. And we got that, and we went to a farm. We camped outside, we were using lots; we don’t go to hotels and spend unnecessary money; and our women cooked. As far as how we chose who should go, in the various blocks that we are organising the street committees into, the people had to identify the youth who were most in need of this wellness intervention. In general, we have an intergenerational approach where we work with the women and the youngsters. So sometimes you don’t find youth feeling comfortable speaking to adults, but they feel comfortable speaking to youth, so we develop those skills for them – not to counsel but to hold, and to act as an intermediary for getting the necessary support For funding for other interventions on their streets, the youth pitched in and suggested ideas. They were not waiting around for funders to come on board. They started Friday-night takeaways; they sold hot chips and whatever. They had car washes on a Saturday. It was all about trying to make money to help pay for their campaigns. Province-wide, countrywide, there is currently no umbrella organisation pulling youth development together in the country. Back in the day, we had organisations such as the Cape Youth Congress. Now, you only have youth leagues; you only have political parties in the youth leagues. There’s no structure where we have church youth, interfaith youth, university youth, altogether. We have women, organising in various communities, and then you have middle-class women having feminist organisations. And you have church women groups, and so forth, but nobody’s bringing the various sectors together and organising as one solid voice. And it’s at the grassroots where the work needs to happen. And as soon as we put shoulder to the wheel for that, we will eradicate a lot of the issues that we are having as women, as youth. But not with everybody on their own little ship. We all want to get to the same destination, but there are too many captains, and too much competition for resources. Back in the day, apartheid was the enemy we focussed on; but today there is the capitalist system, which causes systemic poverty and inequalities. That is our common enemy now. If our people are hungry; if our people don’t have jobs; if we are living in poor quality housing that’s affecting our health – if that’s all caused by an economic system, then we need to get rid of that system. We should educate our people, and make them understand – these are the reasons why we are having these issues, and therefore we should fight.’ If you enjoyed reading this, you may also like Women in the World here Tell us: Have you been part of an effective grassroots community organisation?

Dolly Parton Mourns ‘Steel Magnolias’ Co-Star Olympia Dukakis: ‘She Was Such a Quality Human Being’ In addition to her work on the 1989 film Steel Magnolias, where she acted alongside Parton, Dukakis is known for her roles in films such as the 1987 classic Moonstruck, 2003 film The Event and many more. A 2018 documentary called Olympia chronicled her life, premiering at film festivals such as Doc NYC. In her Monday evening post, Parton shared her experience of getting to know Dukakis, both as a professional collaborator and as a friend. "She has been one of my favorite people that I have ever known or worked with," the country superstar wrote. "I really got very close to her and felt like we were good friends," Parton went on to say. "Even though I didn't get to see her much, I thought of her often and knew that she was such a quality human being. She will be missed by her fans, by her family, and those of us that were lucky enough to get to know her personally." In Steel Magnolias, Parton plays the role of Truvy Jones, the resident town gossip and owner of a beauty salon. Meanwhile, Dukakis plays Clairee Belcher, the widow of the town's former mayor who patronizes Jones' salon. Dukakis' brother, Apollo, announced her death on Saturday via a Facebook post, indicating that she died in New York City. "After many months of failing health, she is finally at peace and with her Louis," he wrote, in reference to the actor's longtime husband Louis Zorich, who died in 2018.
