The Orchid hotel opened its 96 rooms to guests in Lagos in 2010, and expanded to 171 rooms within three years. It is a Nigerian hotel brand with two properties – the group opened a second Orchid Hotel in Asaba, the capital of Delta State, offering 54 rooms, with the intention of growing the hotel to 100 rooms by mid-2014. Where Is It? The Lekki Peninsula, located east of Victoria Island, is a rapidly growing area on the coast of Lagos. Its beaches and imposing architecture make it a tourist’s haven. The Orchid Hotel is located right at the heart of the Lekki Peninsula, about two minutes’ drive from the VGC roundabout, standing along the Lekki-Ikota expressway. If you have to catch an 18h00 flight from Murtala Muhammed International Airport, I would suggest you leave the hotel at about 14h00 to ensure the chaotic and inconsistent Lagos traffic doesn’t result in you missing your plane. The hotel currently has 171 rooms, divided into the following categories: Royal Orchid, Superior Orchid, Executive Suite, Diplomatic Suite, Ambassadorial and Presidential Suites. The ambience and design of all the rooms are impressive. I was accommodated in a Royal Orchid room, which I found to be more than comfortable. The room was tastefully furnished with a king-size bed and a work station, and the entertainment was courtesy of a 42-inch LCD TV screen on the wall, with selected satellite channels. The bathroom and separate toilet were clean and of a decent quality, and I was impressed with the complimentary toiletries (shampoo, body wash and lotion). I also liked the soft, fluffy bath robe and towels. I had some work to do and was eager to sample the complimentary Wi-Fi Internet. I’m happy to say that connecting was seamless and the data speed was impressive. Aside from being available in all the guest rooms, free Wi-Fi can be accessed in the hotel’s public areas too. Extra security for personal valuables was available with a digital lock safe well hidden in the wardrobe. In terms of room facilities, the only aspects that didn’t impress me much were the below-par cooling system, which was in need of an upgrade, and the room service, with staff taking about 20 minutes to deliver just a bottle of Sprite I ordered. Restaurants & Bars The hotel’s restaurant can accommodate over 100 guests at the same time. The restaurant serves all kinds of local and international cuisine over breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu was quite different and I understood why after meeting the executive chef. One look at him and you could immediately tell that this was a person bursting at the seams with creativity. I ordered what I thought was a plate of simple jollof rice for breakfast, but it was so tastefully garnished that I wasn’t entirely certain that it was just the same old jollof rice! The bar offered a variety of drinks and the ambience was eclectic. Unfortunately, I tried ordering a bottle of water late into the night and I was informed that the bar had closed. I was rather disappointed. Meeting & Conference Facilites The Orchid Hotel has nine multi-purpose halls of different sizes. They range from a seating capacity of 20 delegates in the Jasmine Room to 1,500 delegates in the Asaba Hall. Other halls include the Rose Hall, Daffodil Hall, Foursquare Hall, Lavender Hall, Laterna Hall and The Tulip Room. Delegates get complimentary Internet access, and there’s a team of IT professionals available 24/7. There’s also a business centre offering photocopying, scanning, typing, browsing, airtime recharging, laminating and binding of documents, graphic design etc. The hotel has a lawn tennis court, a standard-sized swimming pool with adjacent lounge, a gym and fitness centre, and a boutique. Despite my service reservations, I still think it’s an excellent choice for business travellers to Lagos.

In Case of Earthquakes Before the Tremor Most casualties result from a partial building collapse or falling objects and debris (e.g., toppling chimneys, falling bricks, ceiling plaster, and light fixtures). Take steps beforehand to inspect your home and office for any potential hazards. - Secure fixtures such as lights, cabinets, bookcases, and top-heavy objects to resist moving, coming loose, or falling during a tremor. - Place large, heavy objects on lower shelves. - Securely fasten shelves and bookcases to walls. - Remove hazardous objects from above sleeping areas. - Do not hang plants in heavy pots that might swing free of a hook. - Store bottled goods, glass, and other breakables in low or closed cabinets. Use nonskid padded mats, hold-fast putty, or Velcro whenever possible. - Prepare an office or home emergency kit. During a Tremor - Don’t panic. Though the motion is frightening, stay calm. Tremors are relatively harmless. - Stay away from glass. - Do not use candles, matches, or other open flames during or after the tremor. Douse all fires. - Do not be surprised if the electricity goes out. - If you are outside, move away from buildings and utility wires. Once you’re in an open area, stay there until the shaking stops. - Do not run through or near buildings. The greatest danger from falling debris is just outside doorways and close to outer walls. - If you’re in a vehicle, stop as safety permits. Stay in the vehicle. The car will move a great deal, but it is a relatively safe place to be. - Drop, Cover, and Hold On. ShakeOut recommends in most situations, if you feel shaking or get an earthquake alert, immediately - DROP where you are onto your hands and knees. This position protects you from being knocked down and reduces your chances of being hit by falling or flying objects. - COVER your head and neck with one arm and hand. - If a sturdy table or desk is nearby, crawl underneath for shelter. - If no shelter is nearby, crawl next to an interior wall. Stay on your knees; bend over to protect vital organs. - HOLD ON until the shaking stops. - Under shelter: hold on to it with one hand; be ready to move with your shelter if it shifts - No shelter: hold on to your head and neck with both arms and hands. If you use a walker or wheelchair: LOCK your wheels (if applicable). If using a walker carefully get as low as possible. Bend over and COVER your head/neck with your arms, a book, or a pillow. Then HOLD ON until the shaking stops. After a Tremor - Check for injuries. Do not attempt to move seriously injured people unless they are in immediate danger of a life-threatening injury. - If the building is severely damaged, leave it immediately. - Do not turn on utilities, including light switches. - Do not use any type of open flame for lighting purposes. - If you smell gas, open windows and leave the building. Do not re-enter buildings until officials say it's safe. - Avoid making phone calls. It’s natural to want to reach out to friends and family after an earthquake, but a text will have a better chance of getting through than a call. Too many calls can overload the communications grid, making it harder for first responders to help those in need. Likewise, do not call 911 unless you’re experiencing a true emergency to leave that system available for those who need it. If you don't have power, you'll also want to save your phone's battery power for when you need it most. - Do not go sightseeing to view damage after an earthquake. - Watch or listen for updates by phone or on the radio. - Keep streets clear for emergency vehicles. - Be prepared for aftershocks. Most of these are smaller than the main earthquake, but some may be large enough to do additional damage. - Cooperate with public safety officials. Do not go into damaged areas unless your help is requested. If You Are Driving When an Earthquake Happens Follow the advice from ShakeOut: - Pull over to the side of the road, stop, and set the parking brake. - Avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines, signs and other hazards. - Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking stops, then proceed carefully by avoiding fallen debris, cracked or shifted payment, and emergency vehicles. - If a power line falls on the car, stay inside until a trained person removes the wire. Additional hazards exist at the university due to a number of chemicals and gas lines in laboratories and other facilities. Leave the area immediately if chemical containers are broken or if gas lines or tanks are ruptured. In case of severe damage or loss of life, the Campus Emergency Coordination Team will implement emergency procedures as soon as possible. The director will coordinate all campus operations and activities. Housing, food, medical care, and other emergency provisions will be made as needed.

Santa Monica City Clerk Denise Anderson-Warren will retire at the end of the year, concluding 29 years of service with the city. “Denise has expertly helmed the City Clerk’s office through some of its most challenging times, including transitioning City Council meetings to virtual meetings during the pandemic,” said Mayor Gleam Davis in a statement. “Throughout it all she has been a knowledgeable and dedicated leader, and her career with the City has been an impressive one. I will miss seeing her on the dais every other Tuesday, but I wish her all the best in her retirement.” Anderson-Warren was first hired as a staff assistant for the City Clerk's Office. She was eventually promoted to Deputy City Clerk, Records Management Coordinator, Support Services liaison, Administrative Analyst, Records and Election Services Manager, and Assistant City Clerk. She assumed the title of City Clerk in 2017. In a press release, Santa Monica credited Anderson-Warren with spearheading the city’s participation as a U.S. Passport Acceptance Agency, bringing additional revenue to the city during a time of budgetary constraints; overseeing new standardization of rules and procedures for boards, commissions, and task forces; facilitating City Council electronic voting system upgrades; launching a Civility Program for public meetings; overseeing the rollout of the lobbyist registration ordinance; and increasing voter registration through a series of initiatives. “In my nearly three decades here, I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many staff, Council, and community members, and I’ve seen firsthand how much people care for our City and what a special place this is,” said Anderson-Warren, who will remain on board while the council searches for a replacement. “It has been an honor to spend my career serving the City of Santa Monica, and I’m proud of the work we’ve been able to accomplish.” Did you know?

By Jillian Beck \| Cal State LA News Service Cal State LA has once again been recognized as a leader in sustainability practices, winning a statewide award for its zero-emission vehicle sharing program. The university’s Parking and Transportation Services and Cal State LA Hydrogen Research and Fueling Facility received a best practice award for sustainable transportation in the 2019 Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Best Practice Awards competition. The contest, hosted by the California Higher Education Sustainability Conference, recognizes achievements in energy efficiency and sustainability at colleges and universities across California. Cal State LA representatives will present on the winning program at the conference on July 9 at UC Santa Barbara. “Cal State LA continues to lead the way in introducing innovative alternative transportation options,” said Cal State LA President William A. Covino. “This award underscores our commitment to serving the public good through our sustainability initiatives.” Cal State LA’s popular shared mobility program includes 10 zero-emission WaiveCar vehicles that are available for students, faculty and staff to use daily within a 30-mile radius of the university. Commuters can easily leave their cars at home, take public transit to Cal State LA and book a WaiveCar for quick trips off campus for meetings, appointments or other events. The vehicles can be driven at no cost for the first two hours and $5.99 for each additional hour. The university will be adding five WaiveCar vehicles to its fleet for the start of the fall semester. The program is a joint initiative between Parking and Transportation Services and the Hydrogen Research and Fueling Facility, with leadership from Carmen Gachupin, director for parking and transportation services; Michael Dray, fueling facility manager of operations and marketing; and David Blekhman, fueling facility co-founder and professor in the College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology. The fueling facility was the first in the world to sell hydrogen fuel by the kilogram directly to consumers. Using renewable energy resources, the facility produces fuel for hydrogen vehicles, such as the WaiveCar, which only emit water vapor emissions. The facility is part of the College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology. The statewide honor is the latest recognition for the university’s award-winning sustainability efforts. A team of Cal State LA students, led by faculty advisor Blekhman, received a 2018 Clean Air Award from the South Coast Air Quality Management District for educating the public about energy efficient vehicles. Cal State LA Facilities, Planning, Design and Construction received a best practice award from the CSU in 2018 for addressing energy efficiency in a retrofitting project of Salazar Hall. The Hydrogen Research and Fueling Facility has also previously won a best practice award in the Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Best Practice Awards competition. In April, Cal State LA ended the availability of plastic straws and carryout bags, part of a new California State University system policy that aims to eliminate single-use plastic straws, plastic bags and water bottles on all 23 campuses by 2023. Styrofoam food service items will be phased out by 2021, and the use of single-use plastic water bottles will end in 2023. Cal State LA has a goal of moving to 90% waste diversion by 2026 and zero waste by 2036. Zero waste means managing products, services and processes to systematically reduce and eventually eliminate the volume of waste and materials, as well as conserve and recover all resources without burning or burying. These thresholds will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with waste sent to landfills. Cal State LA's Green Revolving Fund provides funding for students, faculty and staff to support projects that promote energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, waste reduction and other sustainability initiatives that can reduce utilities consumption and generate cost savings.

Subscribe to our newsletter to get alerts about new posts, local news, and industry insights. Medical marijuana regulations in each state, particularly regulations related to qualifying conditions, significantly impact cultivator, producer, dispensary, and other marijuana license valuations as well as consumer accessibility and pricing. For example, while the market of people who could benefit from medical marijuana might include a larger number of state residents, research conducted by Cannabiz Media revealed that in 2017, less than 1% of those people on average were registered as medical marijuana patients or had doctor recommendations entitling them to medical marijuana use. Cannabiz Media also discovered that the quantity and quality of qualifying medical conditions has a measurable impact in each state’s marijuana economy. Here are five key things you should know about the effect of qualifying conditions on the marijuana industry and license value: In other words, because a state covers a long list of conditions doesn’t mean more patients will access medical marijuana within its borders. If a state doesn’t cover one or more of the four qualifying conditions for which most patients receive their medical marijuana recommendations from doctors, then the penetration rate in that state will likely be low. Furthermore, with an overall population penetration rate of less than 1%, this is an industry with a lot of growth potential. Of course, in states where recreational marijuana has been legalized, the story could be quite different as people abandon medical marijuana and its many restrictions for recreational marijuana. While it might seem that quantity matters in terms of how the number of qualifying conditions affects marijuana license value, the data presented above clearly shows that other factors, such as the four most important conditions, play a larger role. Therefore, a license valuation must account for: Each of the factors above could significantly impact the value of a marijuana license in the short-term or long-term and should be considered before investing in a marijuana business or starting a new business within a state. Based on the data presented above, states that are likely to have more valuable marijuana licenses are those covering the top four conditions (or at least one of them), have large populations that increase the market size, and have a greater than average penetration rate of 0.85%, which shows traction and room for growth.

There’s something immensely special about art spurred from the creative purity of a child’s mind. Now those creations will dress Natasha Joubert, hugging her across the international stage at the Miss Universe Competition. The world will gaze upon Natasha in the gown of our nation with the same child-like wonder that the creations were made with. The child artist’s canvas, usually paper, or for the rebellious youngling, walls and duvet covers has definitely seen an upgrade. It is the brilliant mind of designer Gert-Johan Coetzee that has allowed for the child creator’s rainbow imaginings to exist on a soft, white, flowing fabric surface. The angelic wings of the dress dance with digital prints of the Crayola-medium artworks, and they tell a story too. “I’m so excited about this dress because, for me, I love creating clothes with a story behind [them],” Coetzee gushed when expressing the inspiration behind the uniquely gorgeous garment. The story behind the idea of our smallest South Africans drawings making a big feature was spurred by a two-fold desire. Firstly, to showcase the view of the world from the pre-school child’s gaze and secondly, to present the impact that Covid-19 had on their budding lives. The dress by nature is perfectly fitting for its wearer, as children’s well-being, especially for those in need, are a cause lovingly rooted in Natasha’s heart. “They came up with images of greeting each other by knocking elbows… wearing masks,” the principal of Toddies Pre-school and Creche in Randburg expressed. “We took those [drawings] cut them up and printed them digitally on the fabric,” Coetzee explained the artistic process. He went on to express in a video revealing the gown, that it was about sharing the story of hope, positivity and the “triumph of coming out on the other side.” Coetzee was also the creative behind Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters dress when she crowned her successor at the Miss Universe Competition in 2018. As for the powerful queen Natasha Joubert, glowing expressions and beaming energy were undeniable in both the video story and in her comments regarding the artwork. The #DestinyDesigned virtual fashion show caught her smile hugely present as she marvelled at the dress. “I have been looking forward to this event from the moment of my crowning and will carry the Miss Universe South Africa title with pride,” she announced on Instagram. Indeed, we salute our queen with just as much pride. Additionally, Joubert noted that she knows she has “big shoes to fill.” This is in reference to our former and current South African lion hearts who championed the Miss Universe titles. Zozibini Tunzi is an especially historic title-holder, hailing the longest reign in history, crowned in Atlanta Georgia in 2019. Joubert will grace the Hollywood, Florida stage in the US with a glorious South African glow, and dressed in a story of our nation on May 17th. This marks the 69th Miss Universe Competition.

As a leader, I have a track record of invigorating stagnant operations, reducing program risk, enhancing cybersecurity, and driving the successful implementation of information technology solutions. Currently, I serve as the Virginia State Director of the Veteran's Golf Association (VGA), where I channel my dedication towards improving the lives of Veterans and their families. Using the camaraderie and sportsmanship inherent in the game of golf, I aim to contribute meaningfully to the organization's mission. Besides my role at VGA, I am the founder of CWH Group, LLC. My extensive background in fraud investigations, financial audits, efficiency audits, and law enforcement of over 40 years informs my work here. At CWH Group, we assist businesses, nonprofits, government entities, and individuals in recovering funds, minimizing losses, improving brand reputation, and reducing the risk of future fraud.

As a dedicated advocate for enriching the lives of Veterans and their family members through the camaraderie and sportsmanship of golf, Carl plays an essential role in furthering the organization's mission. The Mission of the VGA The primary goal of the VGA is to enhance the lives of Veterans and their family members by fostering camaraderie and sportsmanship through the game of golf. With over 450 local tournaments held across the country each year, the organization's events culminate in the highly anticipated VGA National Championship held in the fall. More Than Just a Sports Program for Veterans The VGA strives to develop programs that allow its members to compete, socialize, and stay physically active through the world of golf. By hosting local league play, regional tournaments, and national qualifiers, the organization reinforces values such as integrity, respect, and perseverance. In addition, the VGA offers family-oriented activities aimed at boosting quality time for Veterans and their families and promoting active participation in their communities. The Inspiration Behind the VGA The concept of the Veteran Golfers Association emerged from a group of Wounded Veterans at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, DC. These friends would regularly meet to play golf in the area, motivating each other to improve their skills and heal through camaraderie and competition. After recovering from their injuries and relocating around the country, they missed the chance to compete against each other regularly. Recognizing similar situations for other Veterans, these friends came together in 2014 to establish the Veteran Golfers Association, the first golfing organization explicitly promoting the game to all Veterans and their family members. The VGA is committed to creating golfing programs that keep Veterans, their family members, and children engaged with the sport of golf for years to come. Under the leadership of Carl Hoecker as the Virginia State Director, the organization will continue to thrive and make a positive impact on the lives of Veterans and their families.

However, we’ll only focus on Casino Mega in this review and tell you more about its bonuses, promotions, games, and more. Moreover, we’ll discuss available payment methods and comment on customer support. Finally, we’ll answer some of the most frequent questions about the site. Read on. Bonuses — especially welcome bonuses — are an essential part of the online casino industry, and Casino Mega is definitely competitive in this sphere. Let’s check out the prizes new and regular customers can claim by being a member of this popular casino. New players are eligible for a hefty first-deposit bonus. They will receive a 100% on top of their deposit up to $300. In other words, anything you deposit will be matched, but the maximum amount you can get is $300, so if you deposit $300, you’ll have a total of $600 as your play money. This bonus will also give you 20 free spins. The good news is that there’s also a second deposit bonus which is part of the welcome offer. When you deposit for the second time, you can claim up to $500 in bonus money. This is a 50% bonus, meaning you’ll half of your deposit will be matched. The second deposit bonus also features free spins — 30 of them, to be precise. Regular players have plenty of reasons to return to Casino Mega. First of all, many ongoing promotions can be claimed after the welcome bonus. Most of these promos come in the form of cashback bonuses, cash drops, tournaments, and more. We won’t list them here, as the majority of them are time-sensitive, meaning they will quickly expire. However, Casino Mega always has promos for regular customers, so the best way to learn more about them is to actually go to the Promotions page and see what’s available right now. Casino Mega also features a great VIP program. If you think you’re a good fit for the program, you can fill in the contact form and send it to the casino team. They will review your application and decide whether you’re eligible to enter the VIP club. VIP members can progress through four levels: bronze, silver, gold, and mega. Each level brings better benefits. For example, bronze features a 10% monthly cashback, whereas mega has a 25% monthly cashback. All games on Casino Mega are divided into casino and live casino titles. In this section, we’ll cover the standard casino offer, which mainly focuses on offering video slots, but you’ll also find a decent collection of RNG table games. Some of the providers that offer games on Casino Mega are EGT, Evolution, Habanero, Microgaming, iSoftBet, NetEnt, Play’N GO, Playson, Pragmatic Play, Quickspin, Red Tiger Gaming, and many others. If online slots are your thing, you’ll find many popular options, including classic slots, jackpot slots, drops and wins, and more. Some of the most popular online slots include Money Train 2, Cherry Trio, Rise of Olympus, Gates of Olympus, Big Bass Bonanza, Reactoonz, Sweet Bonanza, The Dog House Megaways, Book of Dead, Tome of Madness, and many others. If you’re after big prizes, you can check out some jackpot slots, such as The Great Pigsby, Temple Tumble 2, Frost Queen Jackpots, Gold Collector, Divine Fortune, and others. Casino Mega features a superb live dealer page where you can find dozens of popular games from providers such as Authentic Gaming, BetGames TV, EGT, Evolution Gaming, Ezugi, Lucky Streak, Microgaming, and Pragmatic Play. In other words, the platform did an excellent job at covering every aspect of live casino gambling. If you like standard table and card games, you’ll find a collection of live blackjack, baccarat, and roulette games. Of course, there are several popular live poker options, such as Casino Hold’em, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, Triple Card Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker, and more. Players who enjoy live game shows will also find a collection of those, including Sweet Bonanza Candyland and Mega Wheel. However, the number of game shows compared to the overall number of live games is much smaller. Let’s check out the main advantages and disadvantages of choosing Casino Mega. Once you open an account on Casino Mega, you need to make a deposit using one of the available deposit methods. The good news is that the casino accepts a range of options used by Canadian players, including several cryptocurrencies. Here’s a quick overview of the methods you can use to make a deposit: The minimum deposit is set to $10, whereas the maximum varies depending on your selected method. The list of available payment options for withdrawals looks pretty similar, as it includes Astropay, bank transfer, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Tether, Visa, Mastercard, Jeton, and Ecopayz. The minimum withdrawal is also $10, and the daily withdrawal limit is set to $5,000 and weekly to $10,000. The casino needs up to three business days to process payments. Overall, Casino Mega offers a great range of methods, and we were happy with the speed. The platform doesn’t charge any transaction fees, but you’ll still have to pay the standard fees charged by the method of your choice. Casino Mega offers helpful customer support that you can get in touch with via the live chat feature. Unfortunately, the support team doesn’t work round the clock. Instead, you’ll only be able to get in touch from 5:00 – 22:00 GMT. If you don’t want to use live chat, you can always send an email. We explored other help pages, such as the FAQ section, and weren’t particularly happy with the results, meaning Casino Mega should do more to provide important information to website visitors and casino members. On the bright side, the customer support team is very helpful. Casino Mega receives two thumbs up from us, as it offers everything an online casino player needs for a complete and immersive experience. Apart from a decent game collection, new members can claim a lucrative welcome bonus and kickstart their online journey. The only downside we noticed about this platform is the lack of 24/7 support, meaning you might have to wait from time to time to get your answer. You must be 19 to gamble anywhere in Canada with the exception of the following regions which allow gambling at 18: Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta, and Calgary About Casino Mega
Slots can be a fun way to spend your time, but there are a few things you need to know before playing. If you’re wondering, is it hard to learn slots? Then you’re on the right page. In this guide, we’ll not only show you how to play online slots but also list the best platforms in the US offering this type of casino game. Moreover, we’ll discuss the differences between different types of slots and talk about popular slot strategies. Read on. Before we show you how to play slots online, we want to list the best casinos in the US offering online slots. The below platforms were hand-picked by our team of experts, and all are licensed in the US. Feel free to explore the list and select a site that best meets your needs. Video slots are the most popular type of casino games on the web, and every online casino features dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of slots from various game developers. Nowadays, slots have various grid structures and offer a wide array of bonus rounds and other features. Every slot has a unique theme it covers, so it’s important to find the slots with the themes you like. Still, every video slot follows the same structure: you make a bet, spin the reels, and wait for the outcome. If the reels align in such a way to make a valid combination of symbols, you’ll receive a reward depending on the payout of the symbol you matched, as some symbols are more lucrative than others. Mechanical slots are called that because their system relies on mechanics rather than electronics. Of course, mechanical slots aren’t part of online casinos, but some casinos do feature these so-called vintage slots, which look like mechanical slots in every aspect except their underlying structure, which determines the outcome. Mechanical slots usually have just three reels and a small number of symbols, with no bonus features available. Video slots, on the other hand, are getting more complex, faster, and more engaging. If you’re a new player who isn’t used to the mechanics of the video slot you’re playing, it’s better to start playing slowly and understand how the game works with every spin. However, if you’re playing a game you have a lot of experience with, using features such as auto-spin to speed up the game may be useful. However, pacing doesn’t affect your chances of winning, as slots are primarily games of chance. If you are looking for tricks on how to win on online slots, unfortunately there aren’t any. A fast pace can, on the other hand, encourage you to play beyond your means. More rounds per minute means more potential losses. It is recommended that you set a loss limit of an appropriate amount that you are comfortable with potentially losing. The process of playing slots for real money isn’t different from playing land-based slots, but there are a couple of extra steps. Here’s a short overview of how to play slots online for money. Online slots are the most popular type of online casino games, so basically, every online casino features them in their game portfolios. However, you don’t want to select just any casino to start playing games, as many are not licensed and are even rigged. That’s why we selected the best casinos for US players and included them on this page. You can even read our reviews and see which online slots they offer. Online slots are legal in all states that legalize online casino gambling. At the moment, you can play online slots in the following states (please note that the last two have quite a limited offer at the moment): If you want to play online slots, doing some further reading on beginners guides to slots and researching other online slots guides could be useful to get the best possible experience. It’s also a good idea to learn more about slots strategies and understand the rules to master this type of casino game. Please bear in mind that there are many slot variants, and some online casinos are also experimenting with offering live slots. Casino dealers are one of the few at the table who know they’ll leave the casino with a guaranteed profit.

By: Davis Einolf There has never been a woman like her, hair so black obsidian conspires with the janitor’s bucket of bleach to reinvent itself as opal, if only to avoid vain comparison. There have never been eyes like hers, so deep all the wishes thrown in them still tumble past millionaires in submarines, with tears that could flood the well of Urd and drown the jealous Norns on its banks. There has never been a smile like hers, that sneaks past sclera and retina to dance upon the hippocampus or to the vagus nerve to induce the vertigo that some men call love. There have never been lips like hers, that lip balm only touches to soothe its own chapped existence, that inspire bottles to increase viscosity in favor of a prolonged kiss. There have never been breasts like hers that chastely laugh at Everest; whose angle and repose would leave Edmund and Tenzing shivering in the base camp, necks broke from looking up. There have never been hands like hers, that destroy a city with a wave, that need no gloves in winter to keep warm because a thousand rough palms offer their have in return for hold. There have never been legs like hers, that dangled off a pier could save all the sea’s drowned, were they not ever out of reach; that could bring Moses down off his mountain to pray to golden calves. but hardly lovers He said 'sh' with one h and she used four – the close thighs of ski pants versus the slow drag of a box across shag – but he told his friends she told him to shut up.

I am but the pale fundament of a human sentence; aporia in practice, the frail reed of a metaphor read in a teen novel; I am you rhymed with do and rhymed with you again.

Luther was always a professor, a committed and skilled teacher. Although catechisms in various forms can be traced back to the early Christian centuries, he is regarded as a pioneer of catechetics because of the systematic catechisms he wrote. While Lutheran doctrine is set out in these books, the emphasis is more on how people can live justly by following the commandments of God. Whether written for adults or children, his catechisms set the course for the ordered Christian life of many families. I was impressed by the serious and lengthy preparation undertaken by my Lutheran cousins for their Confirmation, although the sacrament is understood as “confirming one’s faith” rather than the seal of the Holy Spirit. His successful catechisms provoked a healthy reaction among Catholics. The catechetical works of St Peter Canisius SJ, while not modelled on Luther, are clearly a Counter-Reformation acceptance of one of Luther’s pastoral principles, to provide accessible, clear and accurate teaching of the faith for people at all levels. The supreme example of this principle in action was The Catechism of the Council of Trent, written to assist priests in their teaching ministry – nevertheless laced with refutations of Protestantism. Luther the Liturgist Until the 19th Century Oxford Movement enriched Anglican worship, Lutheran liturgy was more “Catholic” in style than Anglican liturgy. This liturgical culture can be traced to Luther himself. Unlike Calvin and the Puritans, he had a strong aesthetic sense. He maintained the need for formal liturgy and at his request German altars, stained glass and statues were not destroyed. Swedish Lutheran clergy still wear Catholic Mass vestments. I have a crucifix passed down from my Lutheran grandmother. The crucifix dominates the altar of each Lutheran church, a crucified Christ, not one of those pallid risen-Christ figures found in some of our “renovated” churches. When you enter a Lutheran church, you are invited to look to Christ crucified and place your trust in him. Yet beneath the crucifix there is an open Bible, not a tabernacle, and here we see the difference. The altar has become a kind of pulpit. The word dominates the sacrament, because the sacrament itself is a vivid powerful word. That was a radical break with Catholic tradition. For us, the word leads to the sacrament, symbolised in the relationship between lectern and altar in our post-Vatican II churches. His insistence on scriptural preaching, which we have recovered in the homily, was accompanied by his love of good music. The list of his hymns relates to the liturgical seasons. Alongside his translation of the Scriptures, his hymns have inspired many. One stands out, sung by Protestants and Catholics alike, Ein feste burg, “A mighty fortress is our God”. It may be said that Lutheran music reached its summit in Bach and Handel, composers who raised scriptural text to musical glory. The liturgy helped shape spirituality within his movement, inspired by his own devotion to Christ and reverence for Our Lady. But there seems to be a certain lack of emphasis on the Holy Spirit until you read his catechisms. Those Luther Shadows Putting aside these treasures of German Christian culture, an unavoidable shadow falls on Luther’s complex life – his vehement anti-Semitism. It has been argued that his prejudice against Jews was typical of medieval Catholicism. Some shameful examples bear that out, but only up to a point, for this was not a universal prejudice. After showing sympathy for Jews, in his later life Luther turned on them. One explanation may be found in his theology which restricts salvation to some Christians who accept Christ alone as the true Saviour. His tirade On the Jews and Their Lies (1543) called for a violent programme of action against Jews. Almost word for word, he unwittingly anticipated many of the hideous details of the Nazi Final Solution applied by Hitler’s henchmen in Middle Europe, Ukraine and Russia between 1941 and 1945. While it may be argued that his anti-Semitism was religious rather than racist, it still provided a foundation for the later Nazi ideology. An early prelude to his anti-Semitic tirade was his angry reaction to the Peasants’ War. In the summer of 1524 German peasants with economic grievances rose in violent revolution. They looked to Luther, citing his concept of the liberty of the Christian man, which they interpreted in terms of basic social justice. They also were encouraged by Luther’s recently published essay On Trade and Usury, maintaining classical Christian opposition to exploiting the poor by high interest rates. When Luther rejected the peasants and called on the princes to exterminate them, he was denounced by their spiritual leader Thomas Muntzer as a “lackey of the princes”. There is a sub-text here. All along Luther knew that Muntzer was a rival and that this preacher was a fanatic, doomed to perish in a lost cause. Three centuries later Karl Marx found inspiration in Luther’s On Trade and Usury. But Communism did not attract socially conservative Lutherans. In 1945, when the Third Reich was replaced by the severe Communist State of East Germany, the Lutheran majority conformed, but not willingly and persecutions and restrictions ensued. So when the crisis came in 1989, Lutheran clergy and laity were leaders in the resistance that brought down the Berlin Wall. But were they true to Luther’s understanding of Church and State? Church and State His Church-State theory was based on a literal reading of parts of the Bible. In both the Old and the New Testament kings and emperors are in place according to God’s will so Luther argued that good Christians were bound to obey them. Church and State had their separate spheres, but the State was above the Church, which was never the policy of the popes. In some ways Luther’s socio-political teaching proved to be more problematic than his prejudices. Early in 1933, when the Third Reich began its brutal journey, German Lutherans found themselves in a quandary. If they followed Luther’s teaching, Hitler was God’s prince and should be obeyed by good Christians. For a year or so that seemed feasible, but when he made himself the Fuhrer, absolute ruler, and when the personal oath to Hitler was required, what were Christians to do? Lutherans split into three groups. The bizarre German Christians, led by Bishop Muller, put the swastika on the altar, taught that Christ was an Aryan and selectively quoted Luther’s anti-Semitic tirade. At the opposite pole, the Confessing Church bravely resisted Nazism, led by Pastor Niemoller and inspired by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the heroic martyr. But to resist tyranny they had to abandon Luther’s doctrine of Church and State. Most Lutherans held on in the middle, as did so many Catholics in Nazi Germany. Those grim years carry a mixed account of Christian compliance and resistance, with many survivors and some heroes. Herald of the Enlightenment? This year we have seen the revival of a curious myth that Luther was a precursor of the Enlightenment, an early champion of our democratic society and its values. This mythology is passed on in a history course taught in not a few Australian high schools, laced with politically-correct anti-Catholicism and clumsy historical bloopers. To a certain extent, the myth is perpetuated in a recent effusive book on Luther by Peter Stanford. I would argue that dressing Luther up as a liberal is just another “Whig myth” which only obscures the real man, with all his gifts and flaws, turning him into an icon for causes he could neither foresee nor accept. But supporters of the myth would challenge us. Did not Luther boldly affirm the “liberty of the Christian”? Did he not champion universal access to the Scriptures and the right to private interpretation of the biblical texts? There is a problem here. Luther’s concept of “the liberty of the Christian” runs parallel with his insistence on “the bondage of the will”. Once we see that he is thinking as a theologian, we understand that, by “liberty” he means the spiritual freedom of true believers, fallen men and women justified by faith alone. He does not argue for the kind of political liberty which evolved in the following centuries during the Enlightenment and French Revolution. Certainly, in the 18th century on the sceptical side of the Enlightenment (Aufklarung) some liberal Lutheran scholars opened the way to the radical schools of biblical criticism. On the other hand the most “enlightened” Lutheran prince was Frederick II of Prussia, Hitler’s beloved hero. As I have indicated, German Lutheranism was usually socially conservative. By contrast, guided by the teaching of Pope Leo XIII, late 19th century German Catholicism fostered social progress on issues such as workers’ rights, unions and the family. During this phase, Catholics had been tested by a confrontation with Bismarck and his kulturkampf (culture struggle) against the Church, and later they would again try to survive in Hitler’s totalitarian state. Martin Luther died peacefully on 18 February 1546. In the previous year Pope Paul III had convened what became the Council of Trent, with a mandate to set the Church on a course of reform which Luther had indirectly initiated. Back in 1520, in the heat of his rebellion, he had appealed to a future General Council of the Church to resolve the issues he raised and to reform the abuses. Over the next 30 years, political intrigue, wars and increasing polarisation between Catholics and Protestants delayed that Council. It finally met in 1551 and its last session was held in Trent in 1563. The Council of Trent also named and rejected Luther’s errors. It was too late for reconciliation. The Counter-Reformation had begun and its skilled champions were members of a new order: the Jesuits. Yet this creative revival of Catholic faith and energy also included a strict Catholic Reform program and for much of that, in his own strange way, Luther was responsible. The last memories of Luther are preserved in the Table Talk, covering an amazing range of topics and recorded by his disciples and, some claim, also by Katherine his loyal wife. In his later years he was as loquacious as ever, still argumentative, confident and dogmatic. At times his language was colourful even for an earthy culture of beer, sausage and sauerkraut. Those welcomed to his hospitable table enjoyed much merry eating and drinking, for he was a good trencherman, but contrary to a Catholic myth he was not a drunkard. So were he with us today, would I invite Martin Luther to dinner? I would wonder and hesitate … but what an interesting evening it would be.
Denver Newsroom, Oct 5, 2020 / 12:29 pm (CNA).- When an allegation against a high-ranking churchman makes its way from Vatican-watchers to Italian newspapers to American headlines in just a matter of days, it’s a safe bet the story will have something to do with sex. And if it’s an allegation that pertains to both sex and money, and includes the possibility of a criminal conspiracy pitting cardinal against cardinal, well, you’ve got a recipe for a best-selling potboiler, to say nothing of a story sure to circle the globe fast, and attract a lot of attention. So it’s no surprise to see the attention paid to a set of allegations and theories that stemmed from Italian newspaper reports last week: That Cardinal Angelo Becciu sent 700,000 euros of Vatican funds to Australia during Cardinal George Pell’s sexual abuse trial, and that Becciu might have sent the money as a payment for Pell’s accusers. But it should be noted that while the story is now the topic of discussion among Catholics everywhere, the allegations are heavy on innuendo and light, to say the least, on facts. At least so far. The story began with highly speculative media reports suggesting that Becciu transferred funds to Australia, and suggesting that the information may have come from Becciu’s longtime aide, Msgr. Alberto Perlasca, who is said to be cooperating with investigators in a multi-year investigation of numerous charges of financial misconduct and corruption surrounding the Vatican’s Secretariat of State, at which Becciu worked for years. From there, the story picked up steam enough to include the charge that the money was transferred as a payoff from Becciu to those accusing Pell of sexually abusing them. That story has now garnered so much attention that Pope Francis reportedly met this morning with Australia’s apostolic nuncio, reportedly to ask him about any transfers of Vatican funds to the Land Down Under. But it should be noted that there are no documents, no direct quotes, no proofs or confirmations of any aspects of the story. There are, therefore, a few possibilities: It is possible that the Italian newspapers claiming to have spoken with first-hand sources have been misled, by someone with an agenda, or someone exaggerating rumors to gain stature or establish a narrative. This should not be considered outside the realm of possibility by anyone familiar with some outlets in the Italian press. It is possible that Msgr. Perlasca is actually the source of the allegations, and he is not telling the truth – although, since a bank transfer from the Vatican to Australia could be easily proven, lying about one seems inadvisable, and therefore unlikely. It is possible a transfer occurred to some Catholic entity in Australia, but for an innocuous purpose that has been mischaracterized. If that is true, it is likely easily discovered and easily demonstrated. Or, it is possible that the substance of the allegation is true. The idea that a cardinal would act so nefariously is unsettling to many, and should not be proffered lightly. But it is among the possibilities. If it is true, it might come out in any future trial involving Becciu, or, given the nature of the Vatican, it might never come into the light at all. CNA has uncovered a set of Vatican financial scandals with connections to Becciu for several years, and endeavored to do so with painstaking attention to available documentary proof. Within that coverage has been reporting about conflict between Becciu and Pell. And there have long been rumors and speculation among supporters of Pell that the cardinal was set up in Australia because of his involvement in Vatican affairs. The reports emerging this weekend have attracted interest in part because they seem to confirm that speculation, and because Becciu’s role in financial scandals is now sufficiently enough established that he has been severely censured by Pope Francis. But the apparent confirmation of rumors and speculation does not by itself lend credibility to the allegations. Catholics will be watching to see whether proofs emerge to support the spectacular charge that Becciu set Pell up for a prison term. While some commentators will be quick to regard the allegations as fact, prudent Catholics — and wise news consumers — will reserve judgment until the facts emerge. With an investigation into Becciu getting close to its conclusion, they may not have long to wait.

The news of New England Patriots tight-end Rob Gronkowski's retirement made its way into the Celtics locker room, following Sunday night's 115-96 blowout loss against the Spurs. Celtics forward Gordon Hayward caught wind of the news when he was asked about it towards the end of his post game scrum. "I didn't know that," Hayward said. "That sucks, he's an unbelievable tight end. Got a chance to meet him last year when I was hurt. (He was) really nice to me when I was over there at the facility and everyone was extremely nice. You don't have to do that -- to go out of your way and have a conversation with me, and stuff like that. Appreciate that from him for sure. "Only been in Boston for a couple of years but I know he's done a lot for this city. I've seen him terrorize the Colts a little bit. He'll for sure be missed, and sorry to hear that."Coming off a disappointing performance in a 19-point loss, Kyrie Irving's somber demeanor quickly changed when a reaction to Gronk's retirement was the first question thrown at him. The Celtics All-Star point guard expressed his appreciation for the champion retiree, whose body went through a lot throughout his nine-year career. "I think he means a lot, just to the NFL and professional athletics," Irving said. "He's been able to accomplish, he's an incredible person, an incredible athlete. I'm super happy for him that he could retire on his own terms. I know he's been contemplating it for the last few years, I don't blame him. He was chasing rings, so I can appreciate a guy for doing that and playing at a high level. "(He's) a guy that went through double coverage and triple coverage and still found a way to be successful in this league, it's pretty awesome, with the help of a very GOAT-ish quarterback. Just happy for him." Picture used courtesy of the associated press

Media and Publications It has often been said that the legal profession is one of the last professions to adapt to changes in society, in the business world and in technology. Just as many traditional law firms are slow to adapt to the ever developing requirements of the modern business world in a manner that allows them to adequately meet the needs of their clients, those legal practices have not kept pace with social marketing and seem not to appreciate this powerful device. At CBL Business Lawyers we believe that law firms ought to ‘move with the times’. This is needed to ensure that the legal industry does not get left behind. It is also an important part of ensuring that the public do not see the law as an out-dated profession.

The U.S. women's national team picked up a crucial three points on Tuesday as theyand the game taught us plenty. The tournament is the first iteration of the competition for senior women's national teams in the region, with eight Concacaf nations and four CONMEBOL countries battling it out for the trophy. The USWNT are taking their first steps in a new era with interim head coach Twila Kilgore and incoming manager Emma Hayes steering the group toward the Olympics. The squad racked up the five-goal shut out against Dominican Republic but what stood out? Here are three things we learned from the USWNT's opening Gold Cup game: Fast and furious fluidity The start and stripes got off to a strong start on the ball and never really let go. They held possession nearly 80 percent of the game and took 31 shot attempts over 90 minutes compared to just one attempt by the Dominican Republic. Still, five goals with ten attempts on target might be reflective of some offseason form for U.S. players still in preseason with NWSL clubs. It's such a minor criticism in terms of the bigger picture which is finally looking a bit clearer after game one. Since her time in the interim role, Kilgore has been vocal about getting the team back into playing with more freedom and fluidity. Building off their 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup elimination to Sweden, where the squad felt they had their best game in terms of ball progression and movement, they could not convert their chances but here it was different. Forward Midge Purce had an impressive match on Tuesday, providing width and assists. The winger was constantly in strong positions to receive the ball and put it into play multiple times throughout her time on the pitch. "We're playing against a low block so it gives an opportunity for a lot of creativity and we have a lot of creative players in the front line. So, it was it was really fun. It was a fun day," Purce said after the game. It's exactly the type of fluidity Purce wants the team to keep with them in their next group match against Argentina on Friday. "I want to take the freedom into that game. We had some really good moments, some good build-up moments, and re-attacking over and over again. Keeping the possession in the final third instead of like having big transitions and just going straight to goal," she said. The message is getting through There were moments during the match where the movement was so constant that it wasn't clear to pin down a formation or what they were executing on the pitch. Was it a 3-5-2? Was it a fluctuating 3-4-3? Or was it just Kilgore reimplementing another 4-2-3-1, this time with players understanding their roles and having the confidence to execute it? Whatever it was officially, it was refreshing. It was fun and it finally feels like the message is being played out on the pitch. "We worked a lot tactically about getting into those spaces and getting into the one-v-one zone and making a lot more tactical goals in the sense where like we want tap-ins," Purce said on the team's overall game plan. "We want easy goals. Like easy finishes in that goal zone. So, I think [Kilgore] did a really good job of making sure we're all on the same page." Newer faces embrace the moment The game plan is working for less capped players in the system over the last few international windows. Two players nabbed their first senior starts against the Dominican Republic with 18-year-old Olivia Moultrie and 20-year-old Korbin Albert. The two constantly moved in and out of the final third. Albert aided in setting up playmaking and had a shot off the post, and Moultrie scored two goals in the victory. Moultrie credited Kilgore's planning, saying it aided the young midfielder in being so effective. "Our positioning in the attacking half, how we wanted to stay higher, how we wanted to get numbers around the ball and into the box," Moultrie said on Kilgore's tactics. "Obviously, like how my goals came, just being in the most dangerous areas and Midge playing in some great crosses. So yeah, I think [her tactics] definitely was a huge part of it. "She wants us to be free. And she wants us to be ourselves but in a structure that we can be the most dangerous as possible." The United States lead Group A with three points after matchday one. They'll face Argentina on Friday with a chance to move closer to winning the group. Argentina settled for a scoreless draw against Mexico on Tuesday and are currently in second place. You can watch USWNT vs. Argentina on Friday night at 10:15 p.m. ET on Paramount+.

Several years ago, I prepared a presentation for a CPPS meeting on: “How to Pack a Painting for Shipping”. I am updating this presentation and including “How Much it Costs”! Read all the information regarding shipping that comes from the exhibitor. You may need to contact the shipper; you may need to provide a return address label, a prepaid return shipping label etc. If you need to provide documents or labels that need to be in the box get them ready first. Get a box that is both strong enough and big enough, allow several inches of clearance all around your painting. Mark your box with an up arrow, and as you proceed keep marking each step with the up arrow. To begin the wrap: (Most of these steps end with tape) a. Wrap your painting in soft foam wrap or small bubble wrap. b. Place a piece of pre-cut cardboard (the size of the glass) on the cushioned glass. (Documents in a Ziploc bag could go here) c. Add cardboard (cut to frame dimensions) on front and back and hold in place with corner protectors. d. Slide all into large plastic bag e. Wrap in larger bubble wrap, both vertically and horizontally. f. Repeat cardboard on both sides/and/or use more cardboard to line the box. You can use more bubble wrap for all gaps. g. Further strengthen the box by using styrofoam (insulation 1” thick) at the bottom of the box, you can also use it at the sides and top. h. Documents Check!!!!!!, make sure they’re in though you can seal them on the outside of the box. You want to create both cushion for your painting and reinforcement for the box. i. Finally, when it feels 'cushiony', snug and strong, tape it shut thoroughly. Even wrap the tape like straps to secure the top down. Toss It? No! How Much Does It Cost ? Last summer I shipped a painting to the Pastel Society of America Exhibit in NYC. It was a large painting and required a strong mat board box sized 32” X 40”. I followed the steps above, which is basically alternating bubble wrap and cardboard, lining the box with more cardboard. You almost never ship your painting directly to an art exhibit, you ship it to a shipper. In this case I had to ship my painting to ‘Safe Art, Inc.’ Safe Art unpacks your painting and delivers it to the show. After the show, Safe Art, Inc. picks up your painting and repacks it and sends it back to you. For this service, Safe Art charges $110. Prior to shipping, you contact Safe Art, to let them know your painting is coming. The actual shipping charge is another matter. You take your painting to a shipper like UPS, USPS, or FEDEX. They weigh your package, and depending on the size and weight, bill you for the shipping to and from your painting's destination. My total FEDEX bill was $228.62 , ($114.31 each way, including insurance). So that all adds up to $342.93. Entering the show also requires an entrance fee around $30-$40). I could be overwhelmed and saddened by this expense ( and I am somewhat) but I have to look at it as an investment in my career. Being in the show, seeing my work on the wall is thrilling, but it is also expensive. Entering a smaller painting in a more recent show, the Degas Pastel Society Exhibit, the cost was $40 for the shipper and $84.91 to FEDEX. But, it is what it is! Marianne Fyda PS When I got my painting back from the PSA and Safe Art, it was in perfect condition! I am most grateful for that…but I sure did pay for it!
Switzerland’s premium OTC and Prescription Drugs market Switzerland has a strong and premium-priced OTC and Prescription Drugs market that is among the most important ones in Europe and is worth being considered if you’re looking to expand your business. Switzerland is not an EU member state, but it remains one of Europe’s most important OTC and pharma markets, as well as a major center for medical research for new products. In 2020, the Swiss consumer health and pharma market was valued at USD 6,3 billion and is expected to reach an ex-factory value of USD 9,4 in 2035, according to our CPC forecasts. Given its comparatively small domestic market, Switzerland is flourishing in foreign trade. Healthcare exports account for 45% of Swiss exports, with exports worth 99.1 billion Swiss francs. Healthcare accounts for 9.2% of the country’s gross domestic spending, which is one of the highest levels in the world. There are approximately 1,800 pharmacies registered in Switzerland and two-thirds of all medicine packs are bought in pharmacies, and in terms of value, these sales account for around 48% of total sales. The consumer health and pharma industry is a major contributor to quality of life and prosperity in Switzerland. The country provides an attractive operating environment for innovative companies. However, it is losing ground to other countries in terms of competitiveness. For this reason, Switzerland’s 2030 OTC and pharma industry strategy is centered on three focal areas: - Putting the focus on patients. - Becoming a leader in research and development. - Creating a strong economic-policy framework. Contact the Chameleon Pharma Consulting Group to have more information about Market Entry, Regulatory topics, or GMP Certificates in Switzerland!

The main reason for China’s government to start the Shanghai Free Trade Zone last weekend was to increase competitiveness in the service sector, where in telecom and finance state-owned giants have been dominating up to now, tells Shanghai-based business analyst Shaun Rein on Radio Australia. Shaun Rein, Managing Director of the Shanghai-based China Market Research Group, believes it’s being set up to address problems in country’s economy. “China’s economy is in a difficult situation right now. In the past five years, far too much of it has been based on heavy investment in infrastructure, such as airports and subways,” Mr Rein said. “The government is now trying to create a more sustainable economy that’s based on services, higher value added manufacturing and consumption. “So the Shanghai Free Trade zone is really a great case point where the government is trying to attract higher value added foreign direct investment, to increase competitiveness in the service industry, and really hoping to get China’s economy to lean towards a more sustainable level of growth.” Mr Rein says tax incentives and the potential to tap into some of China’s state-controlled industries will be the main lure for foreign companies. “So for instance, there’s a lot of rumours that the government will allow foreign telecom companies and financial services firms a lot more operating room within this free trade zone. “That’s really important because right now the telephone and financial services sector in China are controlled by old, stodgy state-owned enterprises, where the innovation and the service is really lagging,” Mr Rein said. “And it’s hurting the worker and the productivity of the Chinese people.” Last Sunday China opened its Shanghai Free Trade Zone. At the China Weekly Hangout of October 3 we will explore some of the directions of China’s new policies, despite a huge amount of ambiguity in the current rules. You can read our initial announcement here, or register here for the event. China’s internet companies are mostly private firms, and not surprisingly more active in developing a global strategy. Should Facebook, Twitter and Google+ worry now Tencent, Baidu, Sina, Alibaba and Xiaomi have plans to expand globally, the China Weekly Hangout asked on September 5. Not yet, said investor William Yung, media-expert Paul Fox and Tech-in-Asia editor Steven Millward. Well, maybe Whatsapp should. Moderation by Fons Tuinstra of the China Speakers Bureau.
Chinese Name: 开封市 English IPA: /'kai'fʌŋ/ Location: In the eastern part of Henan Province, the hinterland of the Central Plains and the bank of the Yellow River Population (city): 4549300 Language: Henan Dialect and Mandarin Zip code: 475000 Tel code: 0371 Time zone: UTC+8 Kaifeng, referred to as “Bian” for short, was known as Dongjing City, Bianzhou, Bianjing and Bianliang in ancient times. It is known as “the ancient capital of ten dynasties”, and one of the eight ancient capitals in China. It is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, a cultural tourism city approved by the State Council and one of the central cities in the core area of the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration. Kaifeng is located in the eastern part of Henan Province, the hinterland of the Central Plains and the bank of the Yellow River. It is adjacent to Zhengzhou in the west, connected to Shangqiu in the east, Xuchang and Zhoukou in the south, and facing Xinxiang across the Yellow River in the north. The history of Kaifeng is full of prosperity. The lakes in Kaifeng were criss-crossing and widely distributed, Kaifeng was therefore known as the “Northern Water City”. In history, Kaifeng has become the earliest developed region in China and the ideal place for all dynasties to build their capitals by virtue of its superior natural conditions and geographical location. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng, the capital Bianjing at that time, was prosperous with a population of over one million. It was not only the political, economic and cultural center of the country, but also one of the most prosperous metropolises in the world at that time. The long history has left deep historical and cultural accumulation and rich cultural relics. As early as 1982, Kaifeng was listed as a national historical and cultural city by the State Council. Highlights of Kaifeng: - Long History: Kaifeng is one of the first batch of national historical and cultural cities, with four major characteristics of “rich cultural relics, long urban pattern, strong ancient city features and unique northern water city”. So far, Kaifeng has a history of more than 4,100 years of city construction and capital construction, including Xia Dynasty, Wei State in Warring States Period, Houliang, Houjin, Houhan and Houzhou in Five Dynasties, Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and other dynasties successively established their capitals here, known as the ancient capitals of eight dynasties, forming the “Song Culture”, which inherited the Han and Tang Dynasties, opened Ming and Qing dynasties and had far-reaching influence. - Famous Attractions: Millennium City Park, Dragon Pavilion Park, Song Dynasty Imperial Street, Iron Pagoda Park, Yuwangtai Park, Kaifeng Prefecture, Daxiangguo Temple and other countless cultural relics and historic sites are precious assets left behind by Kaifeng’s splendid history. Apart from rich history, Kaifeng’s unique folk customs, local snacks and Kaifeng’s chrysanthemums are also important components of the unique charm of the ancient city. - Rich Culture of Art: Rich culture adds more charm and flavor to Kaifeng. Kaifeng Bian Embroidery, Kaifeng Opera, Calligraphy and Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival are precious cultural resources left over from history. The northern song dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan’s painting “Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival” depicts the bustling and lively scene and beautiful natural scenery of the capital Bianliang and the banks of the bian river in the northern song dynasty during the Qingming festival. It has become a miniature of Kaifeng’s prosperous history. - Story of Bao Zheng: Kaifeng is also famous for Bao Zheng, who was an honest and upright governor in Song Dynasty. During his tenure in Kaifeng, Bao Zheng did not rely on those powerful officials. Instead, he devoted a lot of time and energy to the affairs of the common people, hoping to fairly judge many bad people according to these principles and uphold justice for the public. Therefore, people respected Bao Zheng very much because he represents China’s fairness and integrity. Kaifeng is the best place to know this honorable official.

Cats & Asthma If your cat begins wheezing often or coughing, there's a chance it could be asthma. Believe it or not, your cat can also experience asthma. If left untreated it can also cause serious complications just as it would in people. Along with wheezing and coughing, you may also notice that they are hunched close to the ground with their neck extended forward as if trying to expel a hairball. During a particularly serious asthma attack, you will be able to clearly see your cat's sides going in and out as they work hard to breathe, and your cat may even begin coughing up mucus or drooling. Besides the physical effects of asthma, your cat will likely also become quite scared during an asthma attack. If your kitty is experiencing breathing difficulties, contact your vet immediately for assistance or call your nearest animal emergency hospital! Cat Asthma - Symptoms The following are some of the commonly seen symptoms in cats having an asthma attack. If you spot any of these signs you need to contact your vet straight away, or head to your nearest 24/7 animal emergency hospital. - Difficulty breathing - Body hunched close to the ground with neck extended - Open-mouth breathing - Gurgling sounds from the throat - Persistent coughing or gagging - Overall weakness - Increased effort to breathe - Rapid breathing - Blue lips and gums - Frothy mucus while coughing - Increased swallowing The best way to determine your cat's breathing rate is to check while they are sleeping. When a cat is resting they should take between 24 - 30 breaths per minute. If your cat is taking more than 40 breaths per minute, they could be experiencing an asthma attack. Contact your vet immediately for assistance, or take your pet to the nearest animal emergency hospital for an urgent examination. That said, although rapid breathing during sleep can be another symptom of asthma in cats, it's important to note that snoring or breathing loudly when resting doesn't necessarily mean that your cat is having an asthma attack. If your cat is breathing unusually and you are concerned that they may have asthma or another respiratory condition you should have them examined right away. If needed, your vet may offer a referral to an animal specialty hospital such as ours for respiratory medicine. Cat Asthma - Causes Asthma attacks in cats are often triggered by the cat inhaling an allergen. Some of the most common allergens that can lead to asthma attacks in cats include: - Dust mites - Cigarette smoke - Household cleaning products - Some foods - Cat litter dust Beyond allergens, there are also a number of underlying conditions that could contribute to the severity of your cat's asthma attack including pneumonia, increased stress, obesity, parasites, a genetic predisposition, or a pre-existing heart condition. Cat Asthma - Treatment As soon as your cat begins to show any signs of a respiratory condition you should bring them to see your primary vet or a veterinary internist for respiratory medicine as soon as possible. As mentioned above, there are a number of serious health conditions that could be at the root of your cat's breathing difficulties. Asthma treatment for cats may include corticosteroids to reduce inflammation in the lungs, and possibly a bronchodilator to help dilate the airway. These medications can be prescribed by your veterinarian in the form of an injectable, oral medication or as an inhaler fitted with a mask designed for use with cats. In some cases, the vet may prescribe a corticosteroid medication alone as a treatment for asthma in cats. How Nutrition Can Help Manage Cat Asthma Like most conditions, you can find an abundance of information out there on which foods can help treat cat asthma. Unfortunately, the information out there may not always be accurate. If you believe that a change of diet could help your cat's asthma symptoms, consult your veterinarian. Helping your cat to maintain a healthy weight, while ensuring that all of their nutritional needs are met, is certainly a great way for pet parents to help kitty stay healthy. Your vet will be able to recommend the right diet for your cat, based on your pet's medical history, activity level and overall condition. Prognosis With Feline Asthma Cat asthma is generally not curable and will likely remain active throughout their life, which means that cats with asthma are likely to experience periodic flare-ups that can vary in intensity from mild to life-threatening. That said, with the help of appropriate medications and a little extra care from pet parents, asthma in cats is manageable. By keeping a watchful eye on your cat's respiratory effort, looking out for the symptoms listed above, and intervening with medication when needed, you can help your cat live a happy life for many years.

This morning I read, once again, these great words from Paul to the church in Corinth... "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having sufficiency in all things, may abound in every good work." (2 Corinthians 9:8 KJV) We've always been told that preparation is the ultimate key to success. We know that champions are those who are better prepared than their opponents. Victories are won through training and preparation. And there is no better way to take advantage of opportunities that come your way than to be prepared for them. Paul tells Timothy, "Who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences will ... be fit and ready for any good work" (2 Timothy 2:21 AMP). Preparation requires self-discipline. As a soldier preparing for war, or an athlete for competition, we must set ourselves apart and press forward. (See Philippians 3:14.) How do we do that you ask? Through studying the Word of truth that transforms us. There is no better preparation than being fully grounded on the foundation of the Truth. So when you're waiting for a breakthrough, or making plans for the future or seeking your calling and purpose try joining me in praying, Prepare me for every good work, O Lord. +++ Assuming that you remember to turn your clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night, we will see you for worship at 8:30am and 10:00am on Sunday morning! This week we arrive at the 4th Sunday of Lent and my message is "Guided to Trust". How does Jesus teach us to trust from the cross of his crucifixion? And how can we learn to be more trusting individuals? Join us on Sunday morning as I try to figure this out! Our worship is "live streamed" on the church's Facebook page at 10:00am and then "uploaded" to our YouTube channel when completed. This week I'll be asking those worshipping from home to tell us when it is that you are participating in worship and where you are located as you worship. Let's see what kind of responses we get to those questions! +++ On Sunday we also celebrate UMCOR Sunday with a special church-wide offering to support the important work of our United Methodist Committee On Relief. UMCOR is always one of the first critical responders at the scene of disasters throughout the world and this is our chance to help in that life-changing work. Look for the special offering envelopes as you enter the Sanctuary on Sunday and thanks for your generosity. +++ Following the 10:00am worship on Sunday, we will enjoy another terrific Second Sunday Luncheon offered by our Fellowship Team. We will enjoy a great meal and fellowship in the Fellowship Hall! +++ Our SPRC and Finance Teams will meet on Tuesday night at 6:00pm and then our Administrative Council will meet at 6:45pm. Members please make sure you're with us for these important meetings. +++ Fundraising continues for our new, electronic church sign! We are about 50% of the way to meeting our needs and the sign should be installed in the next month or so. If you haven't yet had the chance... this would be a great time to help us reach our goal! Just place your contributions in the small wooden church on the table in the Narthex. And wait until you see the additional ministry we will do with this new ministry tool! Thanks! +++ We have one of the large salt flower pots that needs adoption for the coming summer! If you'd like to take on this ministry, as an individual or family, please speak to Sandy Van Epps! The first person who talks to her will be the winner to serve in this way! +++ We continue to support the feeding ministry at University United Methodist Church in Syracuse with our Lenten mission emphasis. All the proceeds of our Lenten Self Denial coin boxes will be used by our sister church to help feed hungry people in Syracuse. We are also collecting personal care items (tooth brushes, tooth paste, bar soap, lotions, shampoo, etc.) on the table in the Narthex for their use. Thanks for your generosity! Make this day a great day and always remember to pray, Prepare me for every good work, O Lord.

21 Jul – Just last week there were talks of "Tenet" being delayed yet again, as cinemas in the US resumed temporary shutdown. As feared, the inevitable has happened. The John David Washington and Robert Pattinson-starrer is now postponed indefinitely, as reported by Variety. Warner Bros. has removed the spy thriller from its release schedule, though chairman Toby Emmerich assured that it would still open in cinemas this year. "We will share a new 2020 release date imminently for 'Tenet,' Christopher Nolan's wholly original and mind-blowing feature," Emmerich stated. "Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films while also being ready to support our theater partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen." Originally slated for release in North American cinemas on 17 July, the movie was pushed to 31 July and later 12 August, as the COVID-19 pandemic showed no sign of slowing down and cinemas worldwide continued being temporarily shuttered. "We are not treating 'Tenet' like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that," Emmerich added, suggesting that it will have a more flexible theatrical roll-out and most likely overseas audience will be able to watch it in cinemas first ahead of US audience. It remains to be seen how the studio plans to release the movie in China. Even though Chinese cinemas have started reopening now, the movie's 149 minutes and 59 seconds prevents it from being eligible for screening in the country as China prohibits its film exhibitors from showing any movie with a runtime of over 2 hours. Another WB title, "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It", will also be delayed. It has been pushed back nine months from its original 11 September date and will now open next year on 4 June. The Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga-starring horror movie was scheduled for additional reshoots last April but this was, of course, unable to be carried out due to the pandemic. There's no telling when production on the James Wan-produced movie can resume, hence the decision to postpone it to 2021. Currently, there's no news yet on whether other 2020 tentpole films will be delayed. Disney is still keeping "Mulan" on its 21 August date, while WB's "Wonder Woman 1984" is still set for 2 October.

Governor Sakaja orders demolition of building linked to Nairobi MCA Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja on Friday ordered the demolition of a building sitting on a allegedly grabbed piece of land in Eastleigh. Sakaja jumped into action after area residents complained about the Eastleigh Health Centre-bordering building which they say was erected by a crooked businessman who has the backing of a Nairobi Member of County Assembly Reports say that concerned citizens lodged a complaint with Geoffrey Mosiria, the Nairobi County Chief Officer of Health Facilities, urging him to take action and reclaim the crucial piece of land. Once the demolitions occurred, the MCA alleged that the Governor's actions were informed by the fact that he uncovered graft cases at City Hall. Sub-county Medical Officer Dr. Miriam Etole however defended the county's actions noting that City Hall is obligated to defend developmental public land from being grabbed in Nairobi. "Eastleigh Health Centre is one of the Public Health Facilities within Kamukunji Sub-County located on three plots along Fourth Street and Muyuyu Lane Eastleigh Second Avenue," Etole is quoted as saying by ‘Kenyans’ media outlet. "The facility offers curative, maternal neonatal child health services, maternity as well as sexual and Gender-Based Violence response unit. However, during the Christmas holidays, the MCA accessed the building and demolished it, leaving residents with no health No comments yet.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT What are you looking for? American democracy is in jeopardy, from the disastrous Citizens United ruling that flooded our politics with corporate cash to the immoral assault on voting rights. We work every day to defend against these threats and advance bold reforms. Add Your Name The U.S. government should work for the public, not corporations or industry. It should safeguard consumers, workers and the environment, and be funded well enough to do so. The budget process must not be obstructed by partisanship. Sign the Petition Every day, Big Banks, Big Polluters, and Big Tech companies are threatening our economy, our environment, and our democracy – sacrificing Main Street Americans and our families on the altar of corporate profits. Public Citizen advocates for ordinary people by taking on corporate interests and their cronies in government. Prescription drugs are unaffordable and new drugs and devices often are approved without being proven safe and effective. Public Citizen challenges Big Pharma, device manufacturers and federal regulators to make drugs and medical devices safe, effective and accessible to all. SEND AN EMAIL Health care in the U.S. leaves too many people out, costs too much and doesn’t meet acceptable standards of quality. Much of the care that we get is unaffordable, unnecessary or harmful. Public Citizen advocates Medicare for All, stronger oversight of dangerous doctors and safe clinical trials. Take Action Now Global Trade Watch’s mission is to ensure that in this era of globalization, a majority have the opportunity to enjoy economic security, a healthy environment, safe food, medicines and products, access to quality affordable services such as health care and the exercise of democratic decision-making about the matters that affect our lives. Global Trade Watch has led the fight against corporate-rigged “trade” agreements that provide special powers for Big Pharma to raise medicine prices, promote the outsourcing of jobs to low-wage countries and undermine the food safety and other safeguards on which our families rely. For decades, we have fought for progressive alternatives that benefit people and the planet. The climate crisis is the challenge of our time. We can fix it with solutions that will make us healthier and more economically secure. We must act quickly to make our economy run on renewable power — and ensure that disadvantaged families and displaced workers share equitably in the new economy. We also must fight the corrupting power of fossil fuel companies and ensure that energy regulators are effective and publicly accountable.

The benefit of using a web-based solution like Vector Magic is that you can easily create vector tracings of your images, without having to download any other applications or use any third-party plugins. Another downside to this approach is that when I used it, it was really slow. It took a couple of minutes just for it to trace my example image, whereas Inkscape and Illustrator are nearly instantaneous. Between those three options you should be able to meet all of your vector tracing needs, as cumbersome as it may be. What are your thoughts? Have you tried any other solution that you found helpful?

So I will just avoid. You can use Inkscape to trace images and xnconvert to save to webp format. Both are free open source software. I have used DrawPlus since the first version! I had always upgraded to the new release up to DrawPlus X8. Affinity Designer is essentially a remake of DrawPlus. One moment, please – Trusted by professionals It’s not very stable, but it’s a useful intermediate tool for those “freaky” vector path manipulations that are not avalible in Designer yet.

Product reviewsWrite a Review Thank you for leaving your review! We can definitely help resolve this issue. Please reach out to firstname.lastname@example.org Exactly what I was looking for 👍 Great Wheel Set Love my new set of wheels! The only problem I had with them is that they don't specify that the wheel set does not come with a freewheel nor rim tape. I received the set and quickly realized I could not use the wheels until I purchased a freewheel for the back wheel and rim tape. Unfortunately I ran through 2 new tubes after I put on a freewheel due to no rim tape. Other than that I love these wheels they preform better than my stock Big Ripper wheels! The only reason I gave 4 stars is that the wheels were not complete.
When will Moderna release Q2 earnings? Moderna is scheduled to release second quarter earnings before US markets open on Wednesday August 3. The company will hold a conference call on the same day at 0800 ET. Moderna Q2 earnings consensus Wall Street forecasts revenue will drop 7.6% in the second quarter to $4.0 billion and diluted EPS is expected to plunge 30% to $4.54. Moderna Q2 earnings preview Moderna is expected to report the first drop in sales since it started making serious sums selling its Covid-19 vaccine when it reports second quarter results this week. Hype around Covid-19 vaccine makers has waned this year as the pandemic has eased, and the attention will remain on how demand is shaping up and whether governments are still committed to jabbing against sub-variants. Investors will be hopeful it can reiterate its guidance to strike signed purchase agreements worth $21 billion in 2022. Moderna has said it expects to secure slightly more orders in the second half compared to the first. The company has only announced one major new deal since its last set of results, having agreed to sell 66 million doses of its vaccine to the US government as it continues with its booster programme. That is worth some $1.74 billion, and the government has an option to purchase another 234 million doses which, based on the price of the initial round of jabs, could be worth another $6.2 billion. That will provide some confidence that governments remain committed to jabbing their populations. While the focus remains on its Covid-19 drug, it is hoping to release up to three respiratory drugs in the next two to three years if everything goes to plan. A new vaccine targeting the BA.4/5 sub-variant is on its way, although this could cause softness in the meantime if buyers decide to wait for the new jab. Markets remain uncertain what this year will hold for Moderna. Wall Street’s revenue forecasts remain wide for 2022, ranging from a low of $20.3 billion to a high of $25.9 billion (with a mean of $22.0 billion). Diluted EPS is forecast to dip 2.9% in 2022 following the landmark profit made last year, which was the first it has recorded since inception. Where next for MRNA stock? Moderna shares were thrusted into overbought territory after hitting its highest level in over two months at $176 last month, suggesting this could be a tough ceiling to crack for the stock. The fact trading volumes over the last 10 sessions are almost half the 100-day average supports the view that it could struggle to break above this level without a new catalyst. If it can, then the March-high of $188 comes into view, followed by the 200-day moving average at $193. Notably, the 20 brokers that cover the stock see slightly more upside potential with an average target price of $221, where it last sat in early 2022. On the downside, the 50-day and 100-day moving averages that have converged around the $150 mark can be treated as an initial floor for the stock going forward, although we could see it falter back toward $120 if it comes under renewed pressure. The 18-month low of $116 should be regarded as the ultimate floor. How to trade Moderna stock You can trade Moderna shares with City Index in just four easy steps: - Open a City Index account, or log-in if you’re already a customer. - Search for ‘Moderna’ in our award-winning platform - Choose your position and size, and your stop and limit levels - Place the trade Or you can try out your trading strategy risk-free by signing up for our Demo Trading Account.

Raymond Baxter, WW2 fighter pilot, post-war radio and tv commentator at major events from motor races to great State occasions, was later the famous presenter of television’s Tomorrow’s World. Here he tells his action-packed life story with a wry and amusing eye. From such disparate experiences as hair-raising escapes at the controls of a Spitfire over Sicily and occupied Holland to speaking to the nation while suspended in a box near the roof of Westminster Abbey, Baxter has endless tales to tell. A renowned Formula 1 Grand Prix commentator, he also competed in and reported on 14 consecutive Monte Carlo Rallies and 30 consecutive Farnborough Air Shows where, as a veteran combat pilot, he flew a Harrier on two occasions. Baxter was the instigator of the Dunkirt Little Ships organisation and still owns L’Orage, which took part in the original 1940 rescue of beleaguered British troops and in which he has returned to Dunkirt on several commemorative events. An Inland Waterways enthusiast, too, he recounts amusing adventures on canals and rivers in his ‘Otter’, a futuristic craft nearly half a century ago. Life in the BBC, the Cold War in Germany, the Coronation, Sir Winston Churchill’s funeral, the triumphs and tragedies of Formula 1 racing and Le Mans, all these and much more are covered in a story that seems to encompass a dozen careers, let alone the lifetime of just one remarkable man.

The company focuses on research and development (R&D) consultancy services and solutions using physiologically based (PBPK) and quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) modelling and simulation. EsqLABS leverages open-source computational tools for the analysis of in-vitro, animal in-vivo and human in-vivo data to provide translational insights to R&D teams on the mode-of-action of the clinical effect of drug therapies and the toxicity of chemicals. Quantitative knowledge integration through machine learning and computational platforms esqLABS leverages machine learning and knowledge-based computational systems-biology and systems-pharma / toxicology platforms to predict tissue-specific exposure, efficacy and safety of chemicals and biologics at the site of action. Our platforms aim to quantitatively integrate knowledge about compounds to gain an understanding of mechanisms of action in the context of environmental and clinical exposure-response relationships. These are leveraged throughout the development process of a chemical or drug. We help translate multi-scale data from all sources and phases of drug development and deployment (omics, in-vitro and preclinical). This enables us to identify the relationship between drug exposure, safety / toxicity and efficacy parameters to determine a drug’s therapeutic window, establishing clinical dose regimens. Furthermore, we enable proof-of-concept analyses, such as fast prototyping, and facilitate planning and optimisation of clinical development. Open Systems Pharmacology (OSP) Suite software Our platform technology, built on top of the open-source software framework OSP suite, is jointly developed with other stakeholders from the pharmaceutical industry and academia. This open-source framework enables peer-reviewed quality control through its community and complies with regulatory requirements through its next-generation platform qualification framework. Our current customers are R&D teams within the pharmaceutical, chemical and crop protection industries as well as health technology Start-Ups. PBPK modelling and simulation services and training EsqLABS provides services and consulting for standard applications of PBPK models using the OSP Suite with PK-Sim® and MoBi®. - Preclinical / clinical base PBPK model development - Special populations: Organ impairment studies and PBPK-Based paediatric investigations - Drug-drug interactions (DDI) investigations - Translational modelling for first-in-man dose predictions EsqLABS provides bespoke, individual training for customers on PBPK and PB-QSP modelling and simulation with PK-Sim® and MoBi®. Platform technologies: QSP disease platforms Trial simulations and in silico studies currently complement experimental studies in pharmaceutical R&D. Our software tools and project workflows typically integrate features of drug action such as pharmacodynamics interaction or pharmacokinetics at the organism and cellular scale, as biology always is multi-scale by nature. The multi-scale physiologically-based (PB) modelling concept in our PB-QSP platforms and PBPK models enable the integration of disease, drug and physiological knowledge across various treatments within a therapeutic field, leveraging multi-scale data from all biological scales. Through simulation and modelling, the multi-scale PB framework is leveraged in pharmaceutical, chemical, crop and healthcare technology industries for informed decision-making across all stages of R&D on the basis of a quality-controlled, consistent build-up and transfer of actionable knowledge.

Here at CloudBees, we're all about providing tools that make your life as a developer easier because we, as developers ourselves, understand the tediousness of specific yet necessary tasks tearing us away from coding. In our last blog post, we introduced you to the basic use cases of CloudBees Pipeline Explorer, our comprehensive tool for troubleshooting pipelines faster, easier, and above all, all in one place. Today, we're taking it further by demonstrating how the Pipeline Explorer integrates with the JUnit testing framework to give you an all-in-one overview of your test results. Let's get started, shall we? JUnit: An Overview Before we dive into the integration, let's clarify what JUnit is and why it's an indispensable tool for Java developers. (I’m sure this is already known, but humor me as I walk the linear walk through this integration story.) JUnit is a simple yet powerful framework for writing automated, self-verifying tests in Java. Thanks to its support for test assertions, suite development, and immediate test reporting, it has become the most popular unit testing framework in the Java ecosystem. JUnit plays a major role in regression testing, ensuring that new code changes don't negatively affect previously written code. The framework provides useful information about test results, including historical trends, a user-friendly web interface for viewing test reports, tracking failures, and much more. For fun, read more about the Jenkins JUnit plugin integrated with the CloudBees Pipeline Explorer. Benefits of JUnit Integration into CloudBees Pipeline Explorer Now that we've reviewed JUnit's importance let's discuss why integrating it into the CloudBees Pipeline Explorer (CPE) is helpful. Firstly, by integrating JUnit with CPE, you get a centralized place to visualize failed build tests. This integration takes place under the test insight icon in the Pipeline Explorer, leading you to the test insight panel. Although JUnit has its own dashboard, we've integrated it with Pipeline Explorer to highlight and consolidate what's in that dashboard, making your workflow more streamlined. The test insights panel summarizes your test results and a list of test failures, including the stage each failure was in and a link to that test on the JUnit plugin page. You can search for tests and test class names, sort tests by name or duration, and display individual test results. Moreover, the integration directly links to the failures on the JUnit page within Jenkins, offering more detailed insights into each failure. In essence, it provides you with an overview of statistics and visualizations directly in CPE by clicking the test insights icon. Note: The JUnit plugin must be installed in your Jenkins environment to leverage these benefits. The test insights icon, which leads to the test insight panel, only appears if the JUnit plugin is installed. Integrating JUnit with CloudBees Pipeline Explorer simplifies and enhances your testing process, providing a centralized, user-friendly interface for viewing and managing your test results. As developers, it's essential to have tools that make our jobs easier and increase our code's reliability and stability. This integration does just that, and we're excited to see how it improves your workflow! So, give this integration a shot, and let us know your thoughts.

Minister O’Brien joins Clúid Housing to launch Portmarnock housing scheme Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien TD today joined representatives from Clúid Housing and Fingal County Council to mark the completion of new social housing in the county. 3000 New Homes The 25 homes in Dún Sí, Portmarnock are part of Clúid’s commitment to deliver 3000 new homes across the country before the end of 2022. Over the past 12 months, Clúid has delivered 93 homes to families and single people on Fingal County Council’s housing list with plans to deliver over 70 more before the end of the year. Commenting on today’s announcement, Minister O’Brien said: “I’m delighted to see people receiving the keys to their new homes here today. This is an excellent example of what can be achieved through partnerships between AHBs like Clúid, my own Department and Local Authorities like Fingal County Council. I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome the new residents to the local community and to congratulate them on their new home.” Record Social Housing Delivery Clúid, Ireland’s largest approved housing body (AHB), recently launched its Annual Report 2019. The organisation now owns or manages over 7,500 homes across the country, providing secure, high-quality housing and services to some 20,000 people. Clúid residents live in diverse communities across 26 counties. Clúid’s New Business Director, Fiona Cormican commented: “Clúid handed over the keys to a record 803 new homes in 2019. Our mission is to deliver quality housing and services that enable people to create homes and thriving communities. As part of our ambitious housing delivery targets, we’ve worked in partnership with Ireland’s leading property developers to fulfil their Part V obligations for a number of years now. The homes here in Dún Sí are an excellent example of high quality Part V housing being delivered in partnership with The Department of Housing, Fingal County Council and the developer, Quintain.” On continuing to deliver homes during the recent COVID-19 restrictions, Cormican added: “Clúid is a resilient organisation that continues to innovate despite the impact of the recent Covid 19 restrictions. We have a robust financial model that ensures our sustainability. Its full steam ahead for us now with all of our construction sites back up and running and projects coming to completion across the country. Clúid is firmly focused on achieving our ambitious housing delivery targets for 2020.” Clúid believes that having your own front door – your own place to call home – leads to further prospects in life, opportunities such as seeking out employment, accessing education and other services that enable people to contribute to and enrich our communities. Clúid is committed to tackling social housing stigma and believes that social housing should be indistinguishable from other forms of housing. Mayor of Fingal, Councillor David Healy attended today’s event and added: “Fingal County Council has partnered with Clúid Housing on many projects across the county and I am delighted that we are doing so again and really welcome the delivery of 25 homes for families on our housing list. Dun Sí is an excellent development and will benefit from the wide range of facilities already in place in the Portmarnock area.” New Business Director with Clúid, Fiona Cormican added: “AHBs supplied over 40% of all new social housing in 2019, that’s over 4,000 homes across the country. 82% of the new Clúid homes brought into management in 2019 were newly constructed properties. The new Government’s commitments on affordable rental housing, a national differential rents scheme, the provision of age-friendly housing, the reclassification of AHBs and building defects are all very welcome developments for the sector. We are ready and willing to work with the Government and the various Local Authorities to deliver on the housing objectives outlined in the Programme for Government.” For further information contact: Phone: 087 113 5411 Clúid has launched a microsite to accompany the launch of its Annual Report 2019. The report can be viewed online here: https://www.cluid.ie/report-home/ Key Annual Report Facts 2,100 people in housing need received the keys to their new home in 2019 - 82% of homes were new construction - 7,583 homes now owned and managed - Supporting almost 20,000 residents - Tangible fixed assets of €1,032m - Delivery target of 3,000 new homes before the end of 2022.

World Refugee Day 2020 – Hao Anh Nguyen In recognition of World Refugee Day on the 20th June, we caught up with Hao Anh Nguyen to talk about his family’s experiences living in Ireland. Hao’s father and uncles first came to Ireland in the 1980s through Ireland’s family members policy for Vietnamese refugees. His father began with nothing, but overtime secured a job in a Chinese takeaway and worked for many years to save up money in order to bring Hao’s mother and older brother to Ireland. In this time, he learned Chinese and worked his way up to becoming a head chef before retiring due to back pains caused from years of living roughly in Vietnam. Hao says: “This is a constant reminder to me of how dedicated and hard-working my father was. It’s a lesson that no matter how tough life can be, self-discipline, hard work and patience go a long way in life”. They are now a family of nine: Hao’s parents, himself, his three brothers, two sisters and his niece. Hao’s parents moved into their estate in Clondalkin, Dublin in 1997. Hao, the second eldest in the family, was born the following year and has grown up there. This estate was Clúid’s first scheme, back when our Chief Executive, Brian O’Gorman, used to be the Housing Officer for the estate when he first began at Clúid. Hao, pictured above, tells us what it is like to live on his estate. He says: “I absolutely love living here. The community has grown even stronger as the time goes by. Neighbours keep an eye out for each other. We have the canal by our house, so I can go for a jog down there. Public transport is decent enough and I feel safe in my estate”. Hao is currently studying Multimedia at college. He loves his course. He says: “My plan for the future is to keep on practicing my photo and video editing skills, get better at programming, complete more mini projects and complete my college degree. By then I hopefully will be one step closer to my lifetime goal which is to be a creative director or multimedia specialist at a big firm. I want to give back to my family. I want to give back 10 times more than what they have given me, so that none of them have to worry about money ever again”. We wish you the very best in your studies, Hao, and thank you and your family for sharing your story with us.

CNET reader Peter Haluszka from Cleveland writes: I would like to buy a new plasma and ideally would like a Panasonic VT30 series but they're very pricey. I would like your opinion about the Pioneer 55" PRO-FHD1. I was thinking of buying one from the local high-end store for maybe $1,000 to $1,500 if I can get it for that price, based on the fact it was a floor model. Do you think it's worth buying? I have cable and surround so no problems with it being a monitor. Otherwise, my choices are either the ST30 or GT30 60-inch models, and if I can get it for under $2,000, the VT30 55 inch. I value your opinion probably more than anyone else. Excellent question, Peter. There's no easy answer, honestly. The PRO-FHD1 was a fantastic TV in its day, originally scoring an 8.7 rating here on CNET. It isn't, however, one of the later lauded Kuro models. Looking back on the measurements I did when the FHD1 came out, I wouldn't be surprised if the new Panasonics outperform it. Honestly, I think $1,000 to $1,500 is way too much money for a nearly 5-year-old television. My guess is the store is looking at the original list price ($8,000!) and perhaps hoping to cash in a bit on Pioneer nostalgia. In either case, it's too much money when you can get many excellent brand-new TVs for around $1,000. If it were one of the last Kuro models, that would be a different story. Those still look better than most of what's out there now. To speak in a broader sense, is it worth it to buy a floor model? Depends. If it's a plasma, are there signs of burn in? If it's an LCD that's been used as a static display, it, too, could have burn in. If it's been used a lot (and any 5-year-old TV has likely been used a lot), it's going to be dimmer than it was when new. And it will only get dimmer. It will still be brighter than any CRT, but it's something to consider. Are you really saving money when you're getting a TV already well into its life? I'd lean toward no. • Is LCD and LED LCD HDTV uniformity a problem? • What makes a good HDTV? • Geoff's HDTV and Home Theater Resource Center and Infotacular The truth is, TVs are advancing at such a rate that older models just aren't really worth much. It isn't like cars where a 10-year-old model can still get you around just as well as a new one. Ten, or even five years of TV development is a loooooooong time. Modern TVs perform better, have more features, are more energy efficient, and are new-price-to-new-price, way cheaper than older TVs. Now if you can get a great deal (less than $500, I'd say, for anything but a Kuro), and you're not worried as much about picture quality, plasmas and LCDs are fantastically reliable. So it's not likely you're going to get something that will just up and break on you. Well, probably not, anyway. Gary Merson has a great article over on HDGuru.com about buying a refurbished TV, which is a whole different thing. Got a question for Geoff?

Knut, Stephanie and Jorunn Clinical trials and patient biopsies The T cells and B cells that we study at our research centre all come from gut biopsies or blood samples that individuals with coeliac disease donate to research. This is extremely important to ensure that the observations we make are correct and directly disease relevant. My name is Knut Lundin and I am a clinical gastroenterologist and group leader in JCoDiRC. My medical career started back in 1986 in the lab of professor Erik Thorsby, where I also met Ludvig Sollid. Since then we have worked together on many studies and shared our findings through numerous academic publications. In Norway, most patients with coeliac disease are seen in our public hospitals. I work at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet, where we see the full range of coeliac disease from “regular” to “hard to diagnose” and “complicated” cases. I am also a fully trained endoscopist and work with the doctors and nurses in our endoscopy unit. We have two dedicated study nurses and two staff engineers that work in the unit and amongst their everyday work they also support our work with coeliac disease. We also have a dedicated clinical nutrition unit in the same hospital so we offer the full range of clinical services to our patients. Thanks to the patients Maybe the most important aspect for our success is the willingness of patients with coeliac disease to provide blood and biopsy samples for research. All patients see our study nurses, receive information and (in almost all cases) agree to take part and sign an informed consent form. Our patients do not only come from regular referrals, but also contact us directly after invitations on social media networks like Facebook. We also have a formal Clinical Trial Unit. For a number of years now, patients have participated in gluten challenge studies. One of our first examples, was the oat challenge, published in 2003 in Gut, where we described our first oat intolerant patient. Most of our gluten challenge trials are conducted as part of our translational research projects where we investigate the immune responses in blood and gut during gluten challenge. The long term goal of these trials is, of course, to better understand the disease for the benefit of patients and develop new strategies for diagnosis and treatment. We have taken part in several of the most recent industry sponsored drug trials in coeliac disease. The first was a trial of gluten degrading enzymes developed by Alvine Pharmaceuticals, a trial that did not turn out to be as successful as anticipated. We also took part in the Celimune trial for refractory coeliac disease and we are active partners in the ongoing Dr Falk trial, where coeliac disease patients first take a pill and then eat gluten containing cookies for six weeks. The pill inhibits transglutaminase 2 (TG2), an enzyme in the intestine that transforms gluten so it is recognised by the immune system in coeliac disease. This biological function of TG2 was reported from our research back in the 1990s. This shows that “things take time” but also shows the benefit of long term, sustainable scientific effort! My group also studies non coeliac gluten sensitivity. This research has been possible due to our close collaboration with the clinical nutrition unit, their researchers and clinicians. Our research has shown that in people with non coeliac gluten sensitivity, fructans, as opposed to gluten, may be responsible for people’s symptoms. It cannot be over emphasised that the most important reason why we succeed with our patient oriented research is the willingness of people with coeliac disease to undergo ongoing biopsy sampling and gluten challenge! Short term cookie challenge activates T cells My name is Stephanie Zühlke. I am a medical doctor and PhD student working on gluten specific T cells. As you have heard in the previous days, the gluten specific T cells help to send a message to other cells that gluten is dangerous and must be destroyed. We asked people with coeliac disease on a gluten free diet to eat gluten containing cookies for three days. We then monitored the increase in gluten specific T cells in their blood samples. We also tested if only one single gluten containing cookie was sufficient to increase the number of gluten specific T cells in the blood - and one cookie is enough! But the increase in T cells is not as high after one cookie as it is after three days of gluten cookie challenge. I have focused on refining our knowledge about the profile of the gluten specific T cells. I work with Asbjørn and Louise who presented their research on Monday. More specifically, I look at the expression of surface molecules on the gluten specific T cells once they appear in the blood just after they have been “reactivated” by the gluten challenge. The overall goal is to find good markers that can tell us what makes the gluten specific T cells so special and whether any of the markers can be used to determine if a person with coeliac disease has been exposed to dietary gluten or not. New method to look for changes in gut tissue My name is Jorunn Stamnæs. I am a researcher in Ludvig Sollid's group. I’m also the administrative coordinator of the JCoDiRC. I’m currently developing methods to detect changes in the gut that are invisible under the microscope. To diagnose coeliac disease, doctors look at thin slices of gut biopsies under the microscope to judge if it is normal or diseased. Big changes are easy to spot, such as cells that die, change location or size or new cells that arrive. However, many things happen in the tissue that are not visible to the eye. To study such invisible processes, we look at all the proteins that are present in the tissue both inside and outside the cells. These proteins tell us something about what goes on in the tissue; if all is well or if some or all cells are in a state of alert. We can measure thousands of proteins from just tiny amounts of tissue that we take from the same biopsies slices that the doctors look at under the microscope. To do this we use advanced instruments called mass spectrometers, that in the future, we hope can be connected directly to microscopes. Our method can discover and measure several important invisible changes, and in the future, this approach may be helpful to set the correct diagnosis or to monitor the effect of treatment in cases with no visible changes in the gut.
What can an Oregon personal injury attorney do if you were involved in a truck accident? I am dedicated exclusively to practicing personal injury law and I have proven results and experience with complicated truck accidents which caused significant injuries. I provide free consultations to discuss the facts of your case. Once I take your case you can focus on recovering. In every case, I advance all costs associated with pursuing your case and I do not get paid unless we win. An experienced Oregon truck accident attorney will take steps to preserve the accident evidence so that truck accident investigation and reconstruction can be performed. It is important the truck and vehicles involved in the accident not be repaired before this investigation takes place. It is best if the accident scene itself can still be investigated before evidence that may exist is lost to time. An experienced truck accident attorney will be able to investigate and name the proper defendants in a personal injury claim. This can be very complex in trucking accidents and require additional investigation. Two years ago, as I was riding my motorcycle, on my year long journey from Chile to Canada, I got very badly injured. After over 35,000 miles, my journey was abruptly interrupted, as a distracted truck driver failed to yield and cut the road a few meters ahead of me. Just like that, in a second, everything was over. I was then flown to hospital, had four surgeries, stayed for a month and spent months in a wheelchair after being flown back home, in Belgium. -->More Review On Google An Oregon personal injury attorney will identify the facts of your case to determine liability. The facts of your truck accident will be important in determining liability. Faulty equipment, truck driver negligence, and trucking laws will be examined. If the truck accident was found to be caused by faulty equipment, the truck driver hauling an overweight load, jackknifing, driving too many hours, even a truck or tractor trailer tires may be dangerous and contribute to an accident, an experienced truck accident attorney will work with experts to prove any faulty equipment that contributed to the accident for your case. Duties of the Truck Driver When truck driver negligence contributes to an accident involving injuries, both the driver and the trucking company may be held liable – particularly when driver negligence is also attributed to pressure from the company to deliver the load on time. Truckers are often pushed by trucking company to take on more trips or make better time, haul improper or even illegal loads. Truck driver negligence can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Some of the more common types of negligence encountered on the road include: - Aggressive driving - Texting while driving - Talking on a phone while driving - Failing to use a turn single Failing to properly inspect trucks before, during, and after a route, - Driving with an overweight load, improperly balanced load, or improperly secured load - Continuing to drive despite an adverse road condition - Violating the federal law on sleep and rest time - Falsifying driver logs to exceed permitted hours of driving - Driving while intoxicated or while under the influence of a drug - Driving too fast Driving when too sleepy Trucking Company Negligence Like truck drivers, trucking companies are regulated by both federal and state laws. To protect innocent drivers on the road, the government imposes strict standards on trucking companies regarding maintenance, driver training, truck inspection, and employment practices. Scheduling drivers on trips that exceed federal regulations relating to travel and sleep time. Failing to ensure trucks are properly loaded, balanced, and secured. - Hiring unqualified drivers who lack the proper training. Requiring drivers to operate rigs that are improperly maintained, inspected, and repaired. Failing to discipline drivers for safety violations. Neglecting to provide safety devices on trucks to avoid causing more serious injury, such as rear underride protection and proper lighting on tractor trailers. To hold a truck driver or trucking company accountable for a truck accident, contact me for a free consultation to discuss your case.

Lettrism: The Alphabet as Art By Elena Fontaine, France Lettrism, an avant-garde movement that emerged in post-World War II Paris, redefined the boundaries between the written word and visual art. Founded by Isidore Isou in the mid-20th century, Lettrism sought to disrupt traditional narratives by emphasizing the letter as the central form of expression. This movement inspired artists to explore the potential of letters and symbols, not just as mediums of written communication but as visual tools capable of conveying complex artistic and poetic messages. While Lettrism originated with Isou and his circle in Paris, the movement's conceptual exploration of text in visual arts influenced a wide range of artists globally. They utilized text and typography to challenge, question, and engage viewers in a dialogue that transcended conventional language barriers. Robert Indiana became synonymous with pop art through his iconic "LOVE" series, utilizing bold, capitalized letters to create a potent symbol of peace and unity. His work demonstrated how simple letters could evoke deep emotional and societal resonance. Alighiero Boetti, an Italian conceptual artist, played with the arbitrariness and order of letters to examine themes of duality and synchronicity, pushing the narrative capabilities of textual elements in art. Ed Ruscha, a key figure in the pop art movement, merged the commercial aesthetics of advertising with the written word, creating stark, evocative landscapes that reflect the American vernacular and cultural landscape. David Shrigley's witty and often satirical use of text challenges viewers to find meaning and humor in the absurdities of everyday life, proving that letters can serve as powerful conveyors of contemporary critique. Ivan Navarro's neon sculptures illuminate words and phrases with a physical and conceptual brightness, highlighting the power of language in public and political discourse. Other artists influenced by the principles of Lettrism include Ben Vautier, whose work often explores the identity and autonomy of the artist; Jasper Johns, known for his use of lettering and numbers to blur the lines between object and art; On Kawara, who utilized date paintings to explore temporality and language; Barbara Kruger, who combines text and imagery to challenge perceptions of power, identity, and sexuality; Sarah Morris, whose abstract paintings and films delve into urban, social, and bureaucratic systems; and Bruce Nauman, whose use of neon and language probes the human condition. Lettrism and its influence underscore the transformative power of letters in art. From Indiana’s bold symbols to Navarro’s glowing words, artists have leveraged text to critique, beautify, and question. The movement demonstrates that language, when freed from the page and placed in the artist's hands, becomes a multifaceted tool for exploration, capable of expressing the full spectrum of human experience.
‘Trick’ or ‘treat’? I can report a ‘trick’, certainly, for our hapless education ministers but I have news of a big ‘treat’ for history teachers! It is time to light the celebratory pumpkins in the classroom. Just guess what is top of the pops when it comes to new topics for the toughened up A-Level History exam? It has only recently been reported, in the winter 2016 edition of Cambridge University’s “Research Matters”: “Research by Cambridge Assessment today reveals that one in three UK schools is going beyond ‘Hitler and the Henrys’ and is teaching at least one new topic offered in the new OCR A Level History – with Popular Culture and the Witch craze of the 16th and 17th Centuries at the top of the list.” Great news, then, for Harry Potter fans but, also, and more worryingly, perhaps, for pupils interested in the occult or in devil worship. Expect a revival of interest in Hammer Horror’s, Witchfinder General, starring that master of horror, Vincent Price. Its fictional depiction of a real 17th century witchfinder, Matthew Hopkins, has acquired cult status for its presentation of violence, torture and general sadism. Hopkins is specified for study on the OCR version of the A-Level witch craze syllabus. Given the enormous popularity of Jack the Ripper as a teaching topic for 11-14 year olds under the new ‘free-for-all’ History National Curriculum, the growing popularity of the witch craze for A-Level can be seen as logical development. Teaching about witches in history lessons, however, is not new. It has been creeping into school history teaching for a while and was even available within an earlier A-Level syllabus. What is new, is its current ascendancy and the likely reasons for it. The witchcraft topic does, after all, fit well with current notions of what constitutes ‘best practice’ in the classroom and what is most likely to impress Ofsted inspectors. The exam board makes this clear in its latest report: “It’s perhaps not surprising that this topic is so popular – it’s exciting, real bums-on-seats stuff, with some fascinating and at times gruesome stories… It allows students to explore so many different approaches: gender, cultural, political and intellectual…including considering the interaction between elites and ordinary people.” The report notes that Professor Alison Rowlands from Essex University, an expert on the history of witchcraft and witch-persecution, is “thrilled, but not surprised” that the witch craze is so popular at A-Level. She adds that it “enables students to look at the wider historical themes of gender, legal change, and religious tension… More broadly I would hope it also encourages students to think more critically about issues which still have relevance today, such as why and with what consequences some people are scapegoated by others, and what constitutes a ‘fair’ trial.” Study of the 16th and 17th century witch craze may tick the boxes of today’s PC agenda in education as the exam board and Professor Rowlands suggest, but it does so by sacrificing the integrity of history as an A-Level subject. The witch craze topic has historical importance but an understanding of it requires a great deal of underlying knowledge, especially of the political and religious background of the period that the new A-Level syllabus does not require. As an academic subject, history should not be a vehicle for promoting notions of political correctness or of any other agendas. A model question in a textbook to go with the new witch craze course is indicative of the direction of travel:‘Witchcraft, a crime supposedly committed by women, was essentially a crime against women.’ How far do you agree with this view in the period from 1560 to 1660? (“The Witchcraze of the 16th and 17th Centuries” – Alan Farmer. Access to history – Hodder Education pub 2016) This latest ‘trick’ from the Blob should certainly spook the former education secretary, Michael Gove. Back in 2010 he told the Conservative Party conference that the “current approach we have to history denies children the opportunity to hear our island story. This trashing of our past has to stop”. I doubt that he envisaged a surge of interest in teaching about witchcraft or, indeed, of Jack the Ripper, as the way forward. (Image: Tom Lee)

A few weeks ago, a young man from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) called me with a pitch about giving money to fund scholarships. He identified himself as a sophomore printmaking major and we had quite a nice chat. Unfortunately, I could not commit to giving anything to this worthy cause, due to my current financial circumstances. His call gave me the kick in the rear end to finally write this article – one that has been ruminating in the recesses of my brain for some time. In essence, I have come full circle since RISD and a brief explanation of how I got from there to here and back is required. I have exhibited my fine art over the years, but after a divorce in 1995, I found myself pretty much responsible for raising a then 7-year-old as a single mother. While I followed a career path in the non-profit sector that I did not anticipate, I discovered that it was indeed a good fit, in lieu of making a living from my fine art. This 18-year ride took me from a communications department administrative assistant and managing editor of newsletters – to national media relations director – to director of communications at a prestigious international medical association.

Jeremy Blackburn, JTI head of communications, said: “Amber Leaf Signature Blend is well positioned to meet the growing trend towards organically grown tobacco, with the new pack design strengthening the relevance of the brand amongst this group of existing adult smokers.” For more information on Amber Leaf Signature Blend, retailers should speak to their local JTI representative or call the JTI Customer Careline on 0800 163 503 to arrange a visit.
John Carpenter appears at the Royale to perform his film scores on Wednesday, November 15th at 7:00 PM. John Carpenter has announced Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998, a collection of 13 of his classic movie themes newly recorded with the collaborators that worked on his Lost Themes studio albums and subsequent tours: his son, Cody Carpenter, and godson, Daniel Davies. Set for release on October 20 via Sacred Bones, Anthology… is a near-comprehensive survey of John Carpenter’s greatest themes, from his very first movie (the no-budget sci-fi film Dark Star) to 1998’s supernatural Western, Vampires. Those sit alongside the driving, Led Zeppelin-influenced Assault on Precinct 13 theme, Halloween’s iconic 5/4 piano riff, and the eerie synth work of The Fog. Carpenter and his band also cover Ennio Morricone’s bleak, minimalist theme for The Thing. “I asked Morricone to please compose something with a very few notes,” Carpenter says. “And brilliantly, he did.” To accompany the announcement, Carpenter has shared the theme from 1994’s “In The Mouth of Madness”. Reminiscing on the original composition he states, “I worked on the soundtrack for In the Mouth of Madness with Jim Lang. We never came up with a great main title theme. In a rented house on Woodrow Wilson (my house was being remodeled), I came up with a heavy metal theme inspired by Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” My friend Dave Davies played lead guitar, and now, over 20 years later, his son Daniel is playing the lead. One of my favorite themes.” John Carpenter is a legend. As the director and composer behind dozens of classic movies, Carpenter has established a reputation as one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of modern cinema, as well as one of its most influential musicians. The minimal, synthesizer-driven themes to films like Halloween, Escape From New York, and Assault on Precinct 13 are as indelible as their images, and their timelessness was evident as Carpenter performed them live in a string of internationally sold-out concert dates in 2016. In the weeks following Anthology’s October 20 release, Carpenter will return to the road, playing both classic movie themes and material from his two Lost Themes albums. Tickets for the tour go on sale this Friday at 10:00am local time, including special VIP packages that include meet and greets with John Carpenter and exclusive merchandise (for more details check www.theofficialjohncarpent 279 Tremont Street, Boston, MA 02116

The Costa Mesa Historical Society is pleased to announce that Tony Burica, owner of Tony’s Boat Shop, will be our speaker on Sunday October 21, 2018 . as he presents his life’s Journey from Croatia to the United States and more! Tony Burica, owner of Tony’s Boat Shop in Costa Mesa, is known to generations of Newport Beach sailors for his superb craftsmanship in repairing Sabots, Lido 14s, and other small boats. After first working for Schock boats for 20 years, Tony opened his Boat Shop and began repairing the boats being sailed on the Bay. After nearly thirty years and many thousands of boats repaired, he finally retired, but the legend lives on in this newly published book about his life. Now we all have the opportunity to meet Tony at the Costa Mesa Historical Society Sunday, October 21st (doors open at 2pm), and to hear more about his great odyssey. What is not generally known about Tony is how he came to Newport Beach in the first place. His life story is truly amazing. As a young man, not willing to become part of the communist regime of Marshall Tito, he fled Croatia by sailing a boat to Italy. As a stateless person without documents, he was held in a refugee camp for six months, eventually getting a job at an American Army base in Germany. Then he embarked on a journey that took him and his friend Ivan to Sweden, and then eventually to Spain and the Canary Islands. Their goal was to somehow reach America and freedom. Never giving up, he and his friend Ivan finally arrived in Los Angeles. After getting established at Schock Boats in Newport Beach, Tony returned to Croatia and married his high school sweetheart, Tereza, who had never given up hope and waited 16 years for him. Theirs is a love story that will restore your faith in human beings. Come join us at the Costa Mesa Historical Society at 1870 Anaheim Ave, Costa Mesa, 92627.

Why is routine so important for dogs? Routine is important for dogs because it provides them with stability and structure, which can help reduce anxiety and stress. Dogs thrive on predictability and knowing what to expect, and a consistent routine can provide them with a sense of security and comfort. Having a routine can also help ensure that dogs receive proper nutrition, exercise, rest, and training, which are essential for their overall health and well-being. Additionally, a routine can help strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners, as it provides opportunities for regular interaction and engagement. How to create a routine for your dog? Establish a consistent feeding schedule for your dog. Depending on their age and activity level, they may need to be fed two or three times per day. Make sure your dog gets enough exercise each day. This can include walks, runs, and playtime in the yard or park. Keeping up training activities can help keep your dog mentally active and give them a task to engage with to earn the treats and praise they love positively. Incorporate training into your daily routine to help your dog learn obedience and new skills. This can be as simple as practicing basic commands like sit and stay. Dogs need rest and downtime too. Create a comfortable sleeping area for your dog and make sure they have enough quiet time throughout the day. Dogs love to play, so include some playtime in your daily routine. This can be playing fetch, tug-of-war, or other interactive games. Remember that dogs are individuals and may have different needs. Observe your dog’s behavior and adjust your routine as needed to ensure they are happy and healthy.

The start of the PEDSSA Cross Country season got off to a cracking start today with all three boys' teams putting in excellent performances. The weather was glorious:not a muddy puddle in sight! The Year 6 team lined up on the start line first and charged off at full speed. Only minutes later, Nathan flew round the finishing corner in 1st position and won convincingly, followed closely by Archie in 8th place. Albie came across the line in 17th place with Harry hot on his heels in 19th place. The entire team finished inside the top 20 - something we have never achieved before! Next to run were our Year 7 boys who put in another great performance. Well done to Tom R who finished in a strong 9th position, with William H and Harry P coming in 16th and 20th respectfully. The final race of the day saw our Year 8 boys up against stiff competition as they are now classed as 'Juniors' which means they run against Year 9's! With determination, they set off and all got a great start. First past the post was George C with an amazing 9th place. Joe L narrowly pipped his own team mate, Noah A to finish 20th and 21st with Zach M coming a commendable 24th. It was truly a great spectacle with over 300 children racing around the Canford School grounds. Let's hope the weather is as kind for the next race later on this year!

Part 3 in the Master and Human Series Dear Human Self: It seems that we’ve been using this magazine over the past few months to communicate with each other. Yes, I’ve been trying to get your attention lately. But so often, you’re waiting for an Archangel to appear above the altar in your Sacred Healing Room. So I’ve resorted to communicating with you on these pages, starting with my article in the September issue. In doing so, perhaps you’ll finally hear what I’ve been trying to tell you, and perhaps the other readers will derive some benefit as well, or at least have a few laughs. By the way, I saw your article in last month’s issue. Sweet Shakespeare! I didn’t know you could write with such clarity, and poke a little fun at yourself as well. You were poking fun at yourself, right? All of that stuff about Egyptian healing wands and Pleiadian Activation Oils? You saw those as your makyo, right? Well, one way or the other, you had me laughing all of the way to the Ascended Master’s Club. I told my colleagues about your article, and now some of them are going to write to their Human Self. It seems that humans have a hard time hearing the ever-present Inner Voice. I loved our bowling date, the one you talked about in your article. Just you, me and all those strikes. Now that’s what I’m talking about when I say it’s time to live! Wasn’t it more fun than doing your regular evening prayers and rituals? I know you felt a little uncomfortable because nobody else could see me. They probably thought you were talking to yourself. Ha! If only they knew you were talking to an ascended Master… an ascended Master who bowled three perfect games in a row. That was a few years ago, and in between now and then, you’ve had a tendency to forget about me. You get back into the singularity of the human self when things are going okay for you, and then call out to me in desperation when you’re going through a tough patch. Have you ever considered just staying in the “And”? The human AND the Master? The masculine AND the feminine? The Serious One AND the Jester? It’s actually more of a natural state of being rather than being in just the human mode. I hate to see you bouncing back and forth, slamming into the walls of life, one minute in the state of grace and the next minute in the state of chaos. It really doesn’t need to be so challenging. I’m using this technique of swapping articles with you to get across my point. You’ve heard it before, from both me and my fellow Ascended Master Adamus Saint-Germain. He’s been very agreeable to channeling me – which is really you – in order to cut to the chase regarding this last lifetime of yours. He’s just saying what I’ve been saying, but you probably already knew that. I’ll state my basic points here, and you might want to post these on your bathroom mirror so you don’t keep forgetting. Oh, and feel free to pass this on to your fellow searchers-and-seekers. Tell them their Master Self asked you to forward it to them. Enjoy being the Human. You forget that enlightenment isn’t your responsibility. That’s my job. I’m already enlightened, so there is nothing to do other than to realize it. Take a deep breath and repeat after me: “I Am Enlightened.” That’s right… “I Am Enlightened.” I already am, which means you are as well. But when you’re trying so hard to become enlightened, you’re not going to realize that you already are. You’ll continue to chase the dream rather than live the dream. But sometimes I wonder… perhaps you like dreaming more than living? Like Adamus says, this is dumb-ass enlightenment. You just assume. You just know. You stop questioning every move and every thought. It took me 1,152 incarnations on Earth for the human Me’s to get this simple point. Every one of them struggled through their lifetimes, trying to make themselves better humans in order to be worthy of heavenly salvation. Now I’m going around to every single one of my lifetimes to tell them that, 1) They’ll never reach perfection, nor should they even try; and 2) They are free to just experience life in whatever way they choose; and 3) Relax into enlightenment. I already have it, therefore, they can too. Release the spiritual quest thing. That’s for amateurs and hobbyists. You tell me that there is nothing more important than your enlightenment, so just let yourself experience it. Like my friend Tobias said years ago, you’ll never know God through studying, but you can experience the Theo within any time you want. Sweet Buddha, humans have been writing about and studying spirituality for eons of time, but where has it gotten them? More books, more rules, and more lifetimes of searching. Do you realize that there are over 100,000 gods and deities in the Hindu tradition? Who can keep track of all that? The Catholics have over 10,000 saints, with more being added every day. There are over 300,000 letters in both the Torah and Quran. And there are 31,102 verses in the Bible. The shortest verse is, “Jesus wept.” I think he wept because it all got so confusing. Look at you, dear human. You’ve tried nearly every New Age gimmick, from spirit guides to guided healing, from essential oils to oily gurus. Where did it get you? You turned into a boring, righteous, unhealthy, unhappy and un-abundant human. Blah! There were times when I got nauseous being around you. I’ve seen the “popcorn popping,” as Adamus calls it. The humans who are realizing their enlightenment aren’t the ones going to the churches and mosques and ashrams. They’re the quiet ones who have cut out all of the makyo and made a direct connection within themselves. They’re not the priests and gurus and spiritual teachers, but rather the lady who makes your espresso or the man who fixes your car. They are in life, living life, rather than studying life. Allow. You might wonder why nobody else is talking about this? Perhaps because it’s so simple. Just one word… Allow. It doesn’t get any easier than this. It’s the key to enlightenment. YOU JUST ALLOW IT! Duh! I’ve seen you try “allowing” a few times now, but you have to take off your tight underwear when you’re Allowing. It’s not a ritual, my friend. It’s not another gimmick. You just Allow. It’s like opening the hatch door of a submarine and letting the fresh air in. I know, you worry about letting water in as well. So… just allow it! The human will suddenly realize that it can let both water AND air in. “Allowing” means that you’re going to get out of your human way and open yourself up to the I Am. It’s so simple because there aren’t any tricks or gimmicks… just allowing. Sure, you might go through some mental and physical changes as a result. It’s no wonder, because you’ve been storing tons of old, unnecessary energies. Now they’ll loosen up and move on. If I could use just one word to teach you and other humans how to realize their enlightenment it would be Allow. That’s it. Think about it for a moment: The one thing you haven’t done in all of these years on Earth is to Allow. What is the antithesis of Allow? Forbid! You’ve forbidden yourself to be you, to enjoy life, to let energies serve you. You’ve become a tangled mess of thoughts and emotions, beliefs and rules. Let it all go my friend. Allow. How about getting together tomorrow night for another round of bowling? Between now and then, maybe you could trade in that old Volkswagen flower-power van for a nice sports car or BMW? It’s not that I don’t want to be seen with you and that van, but the other Ascended Masters are still laughing about it…

History of Medical Sciences in Cuba Cuba has a long-established scientific history which could be considered to have started with the publication in 1673, in Spain, of the first scientific tome written in Cuba by Lazaro de Flores, a physician. The first scientific paper published in Cuba itself was in 1714 and was on astronomical observations. The founding of the Real y Pontificia "Universidad de San Gerónimo” in Havana in 1728 for the study of medicine formally established medical scientific investigation and this was followed by the founding of the Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País based in the scientific output of the universities, in 1793. The year 1797 is considered the year of “scientific explosion” because of the number of scientific papers emanating from La Habana. They included "Disertación sobre algunas plantas cubanas", "Oración inaugural en elogio de la cirugía", "Disertación sobre la fiebre maligna llamada vulgarmente vómito negro"," Discurso sobre las buenas propiedades de la tierra bermeja para el cultivo de la caña"," Memoria sobre el mejor modo de fabricar azúcar…” and, in July that year, the first defense of the theories of Copernicus was published. By 1826 there had developed a significant life-sciences scientific establishment which was evidenced in part by the launching of the Medical Journal of Havana in 1840 and the creation of the Real Academia de Ciencias Médicas, Físicas y Naturales de la Habana in 1861. In 1867 the Academia de Ciencias in Havana was founded, followed by the Sociedad Para Estudios Clínicos in 1879, representing the first multi-disciplinary health sciences organization in Cuba. In 1898 Dr. Carlos Finlay, funded by the Sociedad Para Estudios Clínicos, propounded a novel theory on the contagion of disease by describing biological vectors. This enabled him to discover the manner of transmission of yellow fever. This discovery is often, but erroneously, attributed to Walter Reed in the USA. Finlay's discovery was followed by important advances made by Pedro Albarrán in urology and González Echevarría in urology. Trade and Financial relations between Canada and Cuba date from times when the country was still a colony from Spain In 1891 the Sociedad de Higiene and its publication were launched. In 1908, the Sociedad para la Medicina Tropical was organized, followed by the Sociedad Cubana de Pediatría in 1928 and the Sociedad Nacional de Cirugía and the Sociedad de Dermatología in 1929. Societies for obstetrical and gynecological sciences were founded in 1939 and the societies for Medicina Preventiva , Numerología y Psiquiatría in 1942. The Sociedad de Medicina del Trabajo was founded in 1949 and the Sociedad de Administradores de Hospitales, Clínicas y Sanatorios in 1951. The history continues vigorously following the dramatic changes of 1959, with the Revolutionary Government led by Fidel Castro placing the development of Science and Medicine at the top of of its political program, as described in the section of this site named "The Saga of Cuban Biosciences"
NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger wrote to the Small Business Administration (SBA) following the announcement that there will be a dedicated window for paycheck protection program (PPP) applications from small lenders, urging that all credit unions be included in the application window. “From the outset, credit unions have provided PPP loans to the smallest and hardest hit businesses. Moreover, smaller lenders provided the most PPP loans during the initial rounds of funding,” wrote Berger. “NAFCU members greatly appreciated the SBA’s dedicated window for smaller lenders with less than $1 billion in assets last year and look forward to another opportunity to access the portal on a level playing field with other, similar institutions,” continued Berger. In addition, Berger offered appreciation for the announcement, but called on the SBA and the Treasury to provide additional relevant information regarding the dedicated window immediately. continue reading »

NAFCU statement on inclusion of privacy notice in highway bill WASHINGTON, DC (December 1, 2015) — National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) President and CEO Dan Berger issued the following statement today in response to the NAFCU-sought privacy notice and certain qualified-mortgage relief for credit unions being included in the highway bill reported out today by House and Senate conferees. This action helps pave the way for final passage in the House and Senate as a Friday deadline for enactment nears. “NAFCU and our members appreciate House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling’s (R-Texas) commitment and leadership efforts to advance regulatory relief for credit unions,” said Berger. “We thank the conferees for including these important provisions and look forward to continuing our work with Congress to champion regulatory relief for credit unions.” An amendment in the House-passed version of the multi-year transportation bill, H.R. 22, by Hensarling, included the text of H.R. 601, the “Elimination Privacy Notice Confusion Act.” H.R. 601 would clarify that consumers will receive privacy notices after opening a new account and when their providers’ privacy policies change. This would be a change from the current requirement for annual notices and addresses a part of NAFCU’s five-point plan for regulatory relief. After passing both the House and Senate, the transportation bill headed to a House-Senate conference last month where lawmakers resolved differences in the bills. H.R. 601 already passed the House in April by a voice vote. Also included in the highway bill package is H.R. 1259, the “Helping Expand Lending Practices in Rural Communities Act.” This NAFCU-backed bipartisan legislation introduced by Reps. Andy Barr, R-Ky., and Ruben Hinojosa, D-Texas, would be helpful to credit unions as they deal with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) definition “rural area,” particularly as it relates to the ability-to-repay rule. After the bill clears the House and Senate, it heads to the president, who is expected to sign the measure. The National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions is the only national trade association focusing exclusively on federal issues affecting the nation’s federally-insured credit unions. NAFCU membership is direct and provides credit unions with the best in federal advocacy, education and compliance assistance. For more information on NAFCU, go to www.nafcu.org or @NAFCU on Twitter.
