Two of their four German players prolong contracts.
Mother Jurack stays in Viborg
Saturday Grit Jurack made a successful comeback for Viborg HK in the Champions League semi-final against Larvik HK – only two months and six days after becoming a mother – and on Wednesday the 32 year old German international extended her contract with the ruling Champions League winners for another two years, until the summer of 2012.
"I am really happy to be able to play her for another two years, but after that I reckon it will be the end. I have been in Viborg for a long time and feel very well here. The entire organisation around the team is highly professional, we have a good coach, and Viborg is a place where you win titles. Some world class players will be leaving us after this season, but others who are at the same level, will join us instead, so I am convinced that we will still be in the race for the big titles in the years to come", Grit Jurack said.
"The world’s best right back"
"She is the world’s best right back, and one of the greatest players at all, so it is just wonderful that she is staying in Viborg," head coach Jakob Vestergaard said. "After the birth she is already on her way back to her usually high level, so I am convinced that we are going to benefit a lot from her qualifications in the coming years", he added.
Grit Jurack has played in Viborg since 2004, having won the EHF Champions twice with the team – in 2006 and 2009 – among a lot of other triumphs with the Danish club. She has appeared 187 times for Viborg, scoring 1,030 goals. She has played 287 internationals for Germany – thereby holding the record among female German international players.
Althaus takes two more years in Viborg
Also German international Anja Althaus is going to stay two more years with ruling Champions League winners Viborg HK. The 27 year old pivot joined the Danish top club in the summer of 2007, and her current contract was due to expire after this season, but it has now been extended until the summer of 2012.
"I am really happy about this extension. I could not imagine to go home to Germany or to join any other club than Viborg for that matter. After a tough first season I now feel really well in Denmark, on and off the court," Anja Althaus said.
Head coach Jakob Vestergaard was also a happy man, as the negotiations between the club and Anja Althuas had ended successfully. "During her stay in Viborg, Anja has developed from being a pivot at an internationally high level into being a player in absolute world class. She has been a great part of the success we have had during the past couple of years. She has strengths at both ends of the court and is an extremely vital player to us," Vestergaard said.
Two pivots at international top level
After the extension of Anja Althaus´ contract, Viborg are going to have two pivots at international top level from next season, as the club has previously signed Norwegian international Marit Malm Frafjord from current number two in Norway, Byåsen. Althaus is looking forward to her new partner at the circle line.
"I do not fear any kind of competition from Marit. The opposite is the case. There are lots of matches during a season, and we are two different types of pivots. This should give many tactical options, and hopefully the team can benefit from that," Anja Althaus commented.
Jakob Vestergaard also sees some interesting perspectives with the new pair of line players.
"In international top handball, the pivot is an extremely important position, and now we are going to get the strongest pair in the world there. Both Anja and Marit are strong at both ends of the court," the head coach said.

The transport of fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) in streams is an important process that links stream reaches, but until recently little was known about the distances traveled by fine particles in streams or the mechanisms governing their transport, deposition, and resuspension. Within the past decade, a number of studies have measured FPOM transport distances using either natural stream particles or a variety of artificial particles as FPOM surrogates. The purpose of our study was to compare estimates of FPOM transport distances in streams using: 1) radioactively labeled natural FPOM, and 2) corn pollen as an FPOM surrogate. We compared the particle types with simultaneous releases at 3 locations in Bloomington Creek, Idaho, and in a streamside flume in Pennsylvania. Mean transport distances in the stream and in the flume ranged from 49 to 637 m for corn pollen, compared with 23 to 1164 m for natural FPOM. Particle deposition velocities, which adjust for the effects of water depth and velocity on transport distance, had narrower ranges: 0.094 to 0.31 mm/s for pollen and 0.051 to 0.25 mm/s for natural FPOM. Pollen and FPOM transport distances were not significantly different at 2 of the stream sites, whereas corn pollen transport was significantly shorter at the 3rd stream site and significantly longer in the flume. We conclude that corn pollen, although not an exact mimic of natural particles, provides estimates of FPOM transport that are well within the limits of precision obtained with other methods. Corn pollen and other seston surrogates can serve as useful standard particles for comparing FPOM dynamics in streams with a variety of geomorphic and hydraulic characteristics.

The split rail fence that surrounds the house is about three feet tall. When I walk by it, I feel very tall. It’s decorative; too short to keep in an animal. The rails are about a foot apart. So it’s purely decorative.
Or so I thought. Last year the family that lives in the house adopted a Rottweiler, and shortly afterwards, a Rottweiler puppy. Rottweilers are big dogs, an adult male weighs more than 100 pounds. These two dogs were friendly–when I walked ,by they stood on the fence and wagged their tails so hard each body swayed. When I approached, the larger one put his paws on my shoulders, licked my face and pulled my earphones out of my ears–accidentally. Getting them back was not easy–the big guy thought it was a game and the little one stuck his head under the fence and untied my shoelaces.
Finally untangled, shoes tied, earphones in place, I continued on my walk. Both dogs could easily have ignored the fence and followed me, but neither did. For them, it was the end of their property and the puny split rail fence might as well have been 10-feet tall and made of iron sheets. The owner confirmed that neither dog had ever jumped the fence, no matter how tempting the running cat, the escaped ball, the newsboy on his bike.
Then he watched a bird fly from the orange tree over the fence.
Without taking a running jump, he hopped up the fence as if it were a sidewalk, making it to the top in two leaps. From there, he could see the rest of the world, and as the fence runs the length of the block, he began to explore.
He’s had many adventures, and a few misadventures from the top of that fence, but he has never treated it as a boundary. As a step, yes; a walkway, sure; a jumping off point, certainly.
It took me two years to train him not to leave the edges of the yard, and he no longer jumps off the fence into anyone else’s yard (largely because one neighbor has a pit bull and the other a Doberman) but I never could master keeping him off the wall altogether. It’s his window seat to the world.
We create our own reality as surely as those dogs and cats do. The dogs refuse to jump over a fence that comes up to their chests; the cat scales a fence that’s six times his height–without a second thought. To the dogs, the fence is the end of their permitted world; to the cat, the fence is a way to see the world.
If we think we can’t get over something, we surely won’t. If we think of an obstacle as insurmountable, it will be. If we want to run up a fence to see over the top, we can do that, too. We can have obedient dog mind and stay with the reminder of a few sticks. We can create mischievous cat mind and hurtle ourselves into the unknown. The decision is always yours. You create your own reality.

Hey everyone. I just wanted to give an advanced notice, that in the next day or two, I will be posting information on my next group break of hockey cards. My last one was two boxes of 10-11 Luxury Suite, which I thought went VERY well, but for this one, I am planning on grabbing three boxes of various products over the last two years. I do know, however, that one of them will be 11-12 Panini Titanium, which I've been pretty successful on for my own collection.
If anyone is interested, let me know if there are any product you might be interested in. I may or may not be able to get them in, but it will give me a good idea of what everyone else is looking for.
If you are interested, I won't be taking any advance team requests, so the only way to reserve your spot will be on the official sign-up, which will be up soon.
That's all for now.

Leading Through the Fear
Nearly every news agency, blog, and water-cooler conversation centers around the heroism of providing care during this pandemic. Numerous companies are offering nurses and healthcare providers free items in appreciation of their sacrifices to care for those infected with COVID-19. But what about the healthcare workers who are too fearful of caring for patients? Is there an unintended fallout for colleagues and patients when clinicians are too afraid to practice?
Clinicians Keeping Their Distance
The fear of COVID-19 is based in reality as reports of the virus mutating to be easily spread by close contact. Add to the theories of airborne transmission and those in healthcare with compromised immune systems or children on the way is enough to cause panic to the point of paralysis. Nurses on various social media platforms report clinicians refusing to go into the rooms of patients, assessing them through the glass, and documenting “Pt hx taken via phone behind glass. Previous MD assessment accepted.”
I'm talking about clinicians clustering their care to minimize exposure. The CDC has several guidelines for inpatient and outpatient settings designed to reduce unnecessary contact with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients. I’m also not talking about those clinicians who are genuinely immunocompromised or on immunosuppressive therapy or have leukemia. I'm talking about the head physician of a medical group who refuses to allow the clinicians to go out to the screening tent to assess patients because they themselves are afraid of becoming infected. I'm speaking about the clinicians who ask educators to create "protocols" so the nurses can go to the screening tents to diagnose, treat and prescribe for patients with URIs, so the clinicians are not exposed. (Not in my state, doctor!)
What happens when the leaders who are supposed to be the ones leading the charge against a horrible infectious disease are cowering behind the support staff, or not even present because they are doing telehealth from home? What message is that sending the staff on the front lines?
A Message of Fear From the Top Down
Fear. This is a prevailing message of fear, which is not leader-like behavior. This is not what we expect from our healthcare warriors. Culturally, we elect leaders who we believe will bring us through the uncertain times, such as a global pandemic. So, when they don't step up, when they can't step up due to their own fear, it strikes at the heart of the organization and ripples through to our patients.
Now is the time that we need to see our leaders lead. We're being asked to reuse our personal protective equipment (PPE), lower our standards of care, and put ourselves at risk for the sake of providing care to our patients, one another, and the communities we serve. We’re answering the call of humanity because we chose this path. We go willingly to those who need us. But we need and expect our leaders to go alongside us, one step ahead. Leading.
In Stephen Covey's The Speed of Trust, we learn that shared experiences build the bonds of trust and that trust is the cornerstone of all levels of a relationship. If staff are unable to bond with their leaders during times of stress, trust is eroded. If staff cannot trust their leadership and believe they are not supported in their work, patient satisfaction scores drop. When patient satisfaction scores are low, patient outcomes are poor.
There is a profound ripple effect when there is no trust in an organization.
Solutions to Work Through the Fear
Many organizations offer employee-assistance programs that provide counseling services for free. Healthcare workers experiencing paralyzing fear should seek resources to work through these issues in order to stand tall along with their staff. If for valid health reasons, leaders cannot be present with their staff, they can offer frequent video visits and elicit the opinions of those on the front lines to create policies that can be operationalized by the people actually performing the work. Get involved. Stay involved and place a high value on the ideas of the troops. When this crisis is over, each of us will be weighed and measured against how we handled ourselves. Stand and make your mark now, when it truly counts.

East West Link funding to ease jobs pain
- From: Herald Sun
- February 19, 2014
THE Abbott Government is considering federal funding to help build stage two of the East West Link as part of its jobs package for Victoria.
No decisions have been made by Cabinet but the contribution could be at least $1.5 billion.
Tony Abbott, who has already pledged $1.5 billion for stage one of the $14 billion project, described stage two as being “really important” for Melbourne and Geelong.
On a visit to Melbourne, the PM lauded the project and praised Premier Denis Napthine for accelerating preparatory work, saying the public wanted to see work start and not more feasibility studies.
The two leaders had their second face-to-face meeting within a week as Dr Napthine pushed for the Commonwealth to fast-track infrastructure money for the state.
Mr Abbott said he would be getting a report at the end of the month about how to help Victoria after Ford, Holden and Toyota said they would stop making cars and Alcoa said it would shut the Point Henry aluminium smelter.
On Wednesday it was revealed Telstra will sack Victorian staff in a nationwide cull of 800 from its Sensis business, which controls the white and yellow pages.
Two-thirds of the jobs are going to the Philippines.
On Wednesday night there were reports Shell was close to selling its Geelong refinery, but it was unclear what that means for its 450 workers.
A decision about East West stage two might have to wait until the May Budget, but Mr Abbott plans to announce some projects for Victoria in “early March”.
“We want to ensure that the people of Victoria can face the future with confidence,” Mr Abbott said.
The second stage of the toll road, to connect CityLink to the Western Ring Rd, would enable commuters and hauliers to bypass the city when travelling from east to west.
A contract for the first stage, connecting the Eastern Freeway to CityLink in Parkville, is due to be signed within months, with the Napthine Government hoping construction will begin later this year.
“The great thing about this particular project is that it’s really important for Melbourne and for Geelong, because just about everyone coming to Melbourne from Geelong is going to benefit from the full East West Link,” the PM said.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten on Wednesday visited the Williamstown shipbuilding yard, where he called on the Abbott Government to bring forward plans to build ships to protect 1100 jobs.

I developed because my wisdom guided me as I realized my being. In fact, my whole work is how to come out from the clutches of personality and realize the purpose of ‘being’ or feel meaningful.
Did monitoring of data of 20,000 people for a considerable period of 20 years with their actual life happening? This helped me to understand, ‘how personality factors (first order and second order traits established by Prof. Ramond B. Cattell and associates) contributed to success and failure in the oil industry?’
‘Dr. Gupta was a new name. We thought Sharmaji; General Manager (HR) might have obliged someone. After seeing Dr. Gupta I was surprised how I will pass my time of three days. Now I am sure if the program continues for another 10 days Dr. Gupta will impart scientific contents in the form of the novel and original inputs without repetition’, commented one of the participants of, “Self-Appraisal and Self Development” developed for General Managers of NPCC, New Delhi. Another participant commented, ‘we may have a western or eastern psychologist. One is good in measurement and another is master of Yoga but no one can substitute Dr. Gupta who is excellent in appraising you through western tools and gives you solutions of do-it-yourself exercises like a Siddha Purush for your development.’
Successfully conducted residential workshop for 8 ONGC executives on “Getting support from ‘Nature’ for the cure of chronic diseases like cardiovascular problems after a heart attack, problems of walking after the paralytic attack, severe diabetes, hypertension, etc. with the help of “Magic of Heart”.
It was 101 days program out of which 11 days were for training inputs during the workshop and 90 days were for ‘Do – it – Yourself Exercises’ on the job.
Feedback of clinical investigations suggests a direct link between the ‘desire’ and ‘the cure’ for the chronic disease.

Repair of Internal Organs without Surgery
In the year 1994, I was posted in Nazira, ERBC, ONGC Assam and got an attack of gastritis. The condition was very severe and was admitted to ONGC’s local clinic. Cardiologist detected some problem in the heart after three ECGs. Later I contacted our Delhi office and was referred to National Heart Institute for TMT. Subsequently, I was referred to Ganga Ram Hospital for my urinary problem. After pre and post sonography of kidneys and bladder I was advised by the urologist:
- Right kidney had cysts like sleeping monster.
- During stress, the bladder was unable to pass all the urine. As a result remaining urine was causing stress. For about two months of treatment, I have suggested surgery of the bladder.
- Likewise, I underwent surgery for my Hernia in 2012. At the time of discharge, I have suggested Hernia in right side also which was to be operated after two to three months.
- Enlarged prostate gland was also observed in 2012.
Now after 21 years at the age 70 years I got a similar attack of gastritis due to the reaction of medicine for hypertension and allergy of skin. Reports are enclosed for verification.
Based upon the experience, monitoring of 20,000 cases for twenty years, introspection of my feelings during physical exercises of joints of bones and muscles, and de-charging of Negativity I evolved my own method for responding to Natural Selection and getting support from people and Nature. Results of the clinical investigation reveal following:
- Cysts on right kidney are simple cysts like a friend.
- Without surgery, the bladder is able to pass urine without any residue.
- A hernia has not been detected during sonography.
- The problem of prostate subsided.
- Lungs are completely clear though I was taking medicine, namely Stamelo Beta for last four to five years.
It is not important had such results reflected at the age 30 or 35 years. But the age 70 years I am running is the old age, known for departure from this world. At such age, internal repair without surgery is very important. It is only possible when ‘will live’ has been completely active in life. Secondly, it was possible with the help of excelling in my activity of ‘writing and filling the gaps through visualization’.
Now my efforts are focused on two aspects:
- I must breathe in a normal way, and
- Coronary damage during infancy must be recovered.
Like others, I am bound to commit mistakes because I am a human being and believe in experimenting. Simultaneously, I have a right to review my habits, my efforts, the relations and try to learn every day something new.
I realize I have good capacity to fill the gap and give excellent shape to the feeble and confusing data. This motivates me to use scientific discoveries and help the individuals who are seeking the way out to their problems related to their health, relationship and the career. It is self-motivating break-through and people are benefiting because of big and frightening problems solutions are very simple but we never think of.

Stay tuned for more information about the 2019 Conflict Resolution Day on October 17, 2019!
What's Happening in 2019?
Let's Talk ADR
Our goal is to get Albertans talking about their options to work through conflict in a positive and productive way.
Let's Talk ADR. ADR sometimes stands for Appropriate Dispute Resolution because it describes options other than going to court, but as ADR has become mainstream we use the term Appropriate Dispute Resolution to describe all the choices available to prevent and manage conflict in a non-adversarial way, including: mediation, arbitration, and restorative practices.

The TRIPS Treaty is one of the most discussed within the WTO. Its impact on knowledge and so-called intellectual property rights is huge, not only for developing countries. This talk will give the listener a short introduction on the main principles of TRIPS, who stands behind it and what chances a different treaty could bring. As the WTO meeting in Hong Kong is just two weeks in advance of the 22c3, there will be much news on the progress of the treaty. With Oliver Moldenhauer being an NGO representative at the WTO conference we'll have first-hand experience on the debates amongst NGOs and press in Hong Kong. | <urn:uuid:d75ce547-be69-484f-ae91-f60f1c73d4ff> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://media.ccc.de/v/22C3-781-en-bad_trips/related | 2022-06-25T11:12:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103034930.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20220625095705-20220625125705-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.945186 | 126 |

It’s only when you’ve been traveling for a while in countries with unsafe water that you truly appreciate being able to drink what comes out of the tap back home.
Sure, you can usually buy bottled water cheaply in those countries, but you’re not always sure where it came from. The environmental impact of plastic bottles is also hard to ignore when you see them washing up on the beach around you.
Water purifiers can give you the best of both worlds: clean, safe water on demand, without destroying the environment in the process. They’re a varied lot, though, and picking the wrong one can leave you with foul-tasting water and major stomach problems.
You’re looking for something that will kill bacteria, cysts, and viruses. It’s the last of those in particular that many devices won’t destroy.
At a minimum, you need something that won’t make the water taste worse than it already does. Ideally, it should also filter out particulates, chlorine, and metals so it tastes better.
Finally, it needs to be appropriate for travel — light, robust, and reliable, at a price that won’t break the bank.
There aren’t many that fit the bill, but luckily there are a few. Here are five water purifiers actually worth buying for travel.
Probably the most well-known portable water purifier, the various models of Steripen use a UV lamp to kill the bugs and bacteria. You just dunk the lamp into a cup or water bottle, stir for a minute or two, then drink. It’s a simple, inexpensive process, but it does have some limitations.
Firstly, it only purifies — there’s no filtering mechanism. This means you can’t use cloudy/dirty water with it, and while the treated version is unlikely to make you sick, it won’t taste any better than when you started.
The reliance on battery power also isn’t ideal, although at least this Ultra model charges via USB. Cheaper versions use hard-to-find disposable batteries.
While it’s good to be able to purify water in any vessel, I’d rather carry a bottle with a UV lamp built in. That way I could purify when necessary, and just use it as a normal water bottle the rest of the time.
Still, if the water you’re filtering is reasonably free of dirt and minerals to start with, the Steripen Ultra is a worthwhile, simple option.
Drinksafe Travel Tap
There are several different models of purifier in the UK-made Drinksafe range, but my preference is the “Travel Tap” for one simple reason. As well as sucking water through the filtering/purification mechanism like the other models, you can also use the Travel Tap by gently squeezing the bottle.
This simple change greatly increases its usefulness, letting you do things like rinse your toothbrush and irrigate wounds with clean water.
I also like that you can remove the filter mechanism if you know the water is safe, meaning you don’t use it up unnecessarily. A lanyard and insulation sleeve are included in the package.
The Travel Tap has an 800ml capacity. It can purify up to 1600 litres of water before the auto-shutdown mechanism kicks in and the filter cartridge needs replacing. That’s pretty good — if you’re drinking two litres a day, it’s over two years of daily use.
Water flow is around 300ml/minute. That’s fine most of the time, but perhaps a little frustrating if you’re particularly thirsty.
The LifeSaver was originally developed to provide clean water to people in developing countries who wouldn’t otherwise have access to it, and it shows in the design.
It’s a simple piece of equipment that’s easy to use, reasonably robust, and lasts a long time without needing maintenance. That makes it equally useful for travelers as well.
It’s relatively heavy, at around 22oz (625g) when empty, so may not be for you if you’re an ultra-lightweight traveler. The purification cartridge lasts for an impressive 6000 liters before needing replacement.
You’ll need to replace the carbon filters more frequently, though. Depending on how dirty the water you’re using is, it’ll be roughly every 250 liters.
Filtering of the 750ml capacity takes under a minute, which compares favorably to many other approaches. The failsafe filter and cartridge mechanism won’t let you pump water after they’re used up, which is a much better approach than trying to remember how much water you’ve used, or using your stomach as a petrie dish to find out.
That the LifeSaver functions just like a normal water bottle is also very handy. It lets you tip the water into something else to let you rinse out a cut, cook or brush your teeth with it.
The GRAYL Ultralight Purifier Bottle
There’s plenty to like about the GRAYL. Rather than a straw or traditional pumping mechanism, this purifier works more like a coffee press. You fill the bottom part up with water, attach the top part and press down.
No more than 30 seconds later, you’ve got up to 16oz (a little under 500ml) of clean water in a stylish container. It’s super-simple and reliable, and the filter eliminates pretty much everything including viruses.
So what don’t I like? Well, a couple of things. The capacity is a bit low — at less than half a litre, you’ll get through it very quickly in hot countries. Of course, being able to fill it up again from almost anywhere negates that problem somewhat, but not entirely.
Secondly, it’s more expensive for lengthy trips than some of the other options. The filter costs around $25, and only treats 150 litres of water before it needs replacing — assuming you can find one wherever you happen to be, of course. Take an extra filter from home if you’re likely to need one.
Overall, though, the GRAYL is a good choice, especially for shorter trips.
Survivor Filter Pro
While it’s really aimed more at hikers and back-country campers, the Survivor Filter Pro works well for travelers as well. At just over 8oz it’s a lightweight option, and a manageable 3.2″ x 2.0″ x 6.5″ in size.
The Filter Pro has three-stage filtration, with the carbon filter capable of handling 2000 liters before needing replacement, and the other two filters handling up to a huge 100,000 liters.
You can push up to 17oz (500ml) of water a minute through the Filter Pro, which is more than fine when traveling as a couple or individual — you can filter a litre or two of water in a few minutes before heading out for the day.
The company touts the efficiency of its 0.1-micron filters, particularly for dealing with heavy metals that most other systems can’t touch.
Reasonably priced and with an easy-to-use pumping mechanism, the only minor flaw for travelers is the tube-based intake mechanism.
It works very well for filling from rivers and lakes, but can be a bit fiddly to use from a tap. Still, there’s always the sink! | <urn:uuid:a6857a06-501d-4a41-9847-fe432047bffe> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | http://thetotalreport.com/blog/these-are-the-5-best-water-purifiers-for-travel/ | 2019-10-14T20:32:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986655310.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20191014200522-20191014224022-00332.warc.gz | en | 0.927245 | 1,591 |
I started by Googling 'snow dying', watched a couple of videos to find out what I needed to do, and then I got started. While my muslin was soaking in the soda ash solution, I prepared a few skeins of crochet cotton and then added them to the soda ash solution too.
While that was soaking, I went outside with a big basin and filled in up with snow.
Bin 1. yellow, fushia, scarlet
Bin 2. yellow, turquoise, blue, green
Bin 3. yellow, blue, green, purple
These first images show the snow covered with the procion MX dye powder, most of which has quickly dissolved into the snow.
You're supposed to cover it and leave it for 24 hours, but you know I couldn't do that. ;o)

The Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations for the following school year will likely be held in April, according to Education Minister Dipu Moni, while the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exams will likely be held in February.
Dipu Moni informed media after visiting an HSC testing facility at Tejgaon College, “We have been trying to hold these exams on time.”
The HSC exams for the eight general boards began today.
According to Dipu Moni, results for this year’s HSC and equivalent examinations would be made available 60 days after the exams have ended.
“Students who took the exams starting today will receive their results within 60 days (of the exams’ conclusion),” she declared. The release of the results may be delayed in other boards where the students will take the exam later.
However, she continued, “our goal is to disclose the outcomes for all nine general boards, the Madrasah board, and the technical boards collectively within 60 days.
Exams will start on August 16 and continue until August 27 for students registered with the Chittagong, Madrasa, and Technical Education Boards.
As a result of the monsoon flood, the examinations for these boards were postponed by 10 days.
With the exception of information and communications technology, which will be examined on a shortened curriculum and for 75 rather than 100 points this year, all disciplines will have tests for the full grade this year.
13,59,342 students have signed up for the HSC and equivalent examinations in total. There are 6,88,887 males and 6,70,455 girls among them.
11,08,594 students will take the HSC examinations, 98,031 will take the Dakhil exams, and 1,52,717 will take the technical education board’s vocational exams. Comparing this year to last, there are 1,55,935 more examinees. | <urn:uuid:7bc0de96-754f-4ec3-ba31-9519d04dc969> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.dailybengalgazette.com/2024s-ssc-hsc-exams-likely-to-begin-in-feb-apr-minister/ | 2024-03-04T21:05:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476532.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20240304200958-20240304230958-00630.warc.gz | en | 0.959297 | 409 |

The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 has far-reaching implications for how we operate as a society and has arguably changed the retail industry forever.
Even with states slowly lifting stay at home orders, people surveyed stated they won’t feel completely safe shopping in mega-stores and malls for quite some time. The dial was already being turned in favor of online ordering but now people are more comfortable than ever getting a majority of their products delivered to their door.
This has been both blessing and a wakeup call to many e-commerce businesses who have seen an increase of up to 68% in growth of sales. The demand is increasing but with more and more people offering e-com options, your marketing strategy could determine how much market share you’ll end up keeping.
5 Marketing Strategies For Boosting Online Sales During Social Distancing
#1. Make Sure Your Website Is Fully Functional On Mobile Devices
Online sales generated on a SmartPhone are up 78% of the total, so if you’ve been sleeping on your sales platform being easy to use on mobile devices, now is the time to fix that.
#2. Be More Responsive Than Your Competitors
People are understandably spending more time at home than ever before. That means they are spending a significant amount of time online. If they decide they want to Tweet you at noon on a Saturday and you actually answer, that makes a huge impact on brand loyalty and enthusiasm. Be online when your customers are online, and talk to them.
#3. Content Will Become Even More Important So Start A Blog
Getting your e-commerce website ranked will take a fair amount of SEO and you can do a lot of that by posting relevant and keyword friendly articles on a blog. Adding a blog to your business website is easy and can increase your traffic immensely.
#4. Remove All Friction Points From The Equation
Promoting buying from your online store as a safer method than braving the in-store experience right now is smart, but everyone is doing that. Today’s shoppers aren’t willing to trade their online safety for convenience so you need to remove all doubt by beefing up cybersecurity, protecting payment information, and offering assurances that data is protected.
#5. Increase Social Media Presence
Being stuck at home means people have been on social media a lot more too. People are spending 20% more time on apps and many of them are social media platforms. TikTok is one of the fastest-growing apps and yes, people are spending money on products shown in TikTok ads. So if you haven’t been promoting your merchandise on social media, now is the time. Use social media ads to reach a broader market. Increase engagement with current followers with video, live streaming, and giveaways.
If you use these marketing tactics then there is no reason your e-commerce business won’t grow and be very profitable during and after this pandemic. We are all entering a fast-paced new age for e-commerce and shopping from home options.
Find out how we can help accelerate your efforts and drive more customers to your online store.
Being smart to deploy the best advertising practices on any platform puts you in a better position to make massive sales. However, it can also be a heck, especially when trying to establish your brand on Facebook. Perhaps you have tried a couple of times and failed. Well, all is not lost. Read along this piece to master some key practices that can get you to the top.
Our modern, always connected world means businesses need new strategies to reach new customers. While the tactics may be new, the underlying principles of marketing remain the same. Finding, nurturing, and retaining customers is still about relationships. However, how we build relationships in this digital era is very different. | <urn:uuid:28fc669f-13fd-4d81-97de-75c1f00ad72c> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://nerdit.tech/category/marketing/ | 2021-02-28T17:55:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361723.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228175250-20210228205250-00203.warc.gz | en | 0.954774 | 780 |
Re: Question about Anthony Towns rebutting Branden Robinson
MJ Ray wrote:
It looks from
and http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/minutes/20040907 that there
was 8 months between Branden quitting as treasurer and being
named as deputy. It even looks like SPI acting on the suggestion
by Branden at the 2003 AGM to get more help handling finances,
albeit this was another volunteer rather than a hired accountant.
AIUI, Branden expressed an interest in resigning as treasurer in
January 2004 , and Jimmy was elected unopposed in late February ,
with his first board meeting in March . It took 'til April for people
not paying attention to SPI to notice the change , and by May the
technical handover still apparently wasn't complete . There weren't
any activities by the treasurer recorded in the June minutes, but on the
lists at least, Branden was handling the DebConf4 reimbursements and
other activities you'd normally associate with the treasurer's role. The
elections took place in July , with Branden nominating for
Vice-President at the following meeting in early August . In late
August he was named Deputy Treasurer , which was confirmed in the
September meeting minutes .
I think it's fair to say that Branden was part of the SPI board
which oversaw the donation loss. He's also part of the board
working to fix it. The above suggests that he was somehow tried
and punished by SPI, which I didn't spot evidence for.
AFAIK, the word "demotion" means to start with a higher position, and
finish with a lower one. It doesn't imply any reason for the change.
TTBOMK, all the donations that were lost were in Branden's physical
possession, and were lost simply because they weren't deposited within
six months of their receipt. Branden presented Debian was some stated
goals for his term as treasurer in January 2002, those with access to
the debian-private archives on master can look for Branden's mail with
I think it's fairly sad that most of these references have to be to
posts and discussions on private lists.
I know Anthony Towns's debian record is laid out in his platform
and mostly easy to verify. What non-profit groups besides
debian has Anthony Towns got experience of, particularly ones
handling money themselves?
I was one of the three chief organisers of Linux.Conf.Au 2002 in
Brisbane (along with Ray Smith and Jason Parker), and was responsible
for, amongst other things, the budget and expenditures (incoming funds
went through Linux Australia's accounts, and managed by Linux
Australia's treasurer at the time, Anand Kumria, based in Sydney). We
paid our bills on time, made something like $60,000 AUD profit for Linux
Australia, and ran a fairly successful conference that's since continued
to grow as it's been passed on to others. I guess I should note for
those who've got no idea, that LCA is an entirely volunteer run
conference, and gets passed onto a different city and group of
organisers each year to avoid burnout. It began with Rusty's Conference
of Australian Linux Users in Melbourne in 1999, and this year's
conference is in Canberra this April, and it looks like it'll outclass
all that's come before it. :) </plug>
That said, I don't think handling finances is a primary component of the

St. Paul has tentatively agreed to settle a lawsuit by a former city police officer who says department employees violated her privacy when they inappropriately accessed her private state driver’s license data.
The $385,000 settlement with Anne Marie Rasmusson still must be approved by the city council. A vote is scheduled Wednesday, Oct. 17.
Additionally, Rasmusson has reached a $280,000 settlement with other Twin Cities municipalities whose police employees accessed her driver’s license data.
Rasmusson, who also served as an officer with the Eden Prarie force, said at least 61 St. Paul police employees looked up her license information.
In the proposed agreement, the city denies the invasion-of-privacy allegations and any liability for the claims made by Rasmusson.
Nevertheless, the settlement seeks “to avoid the uncertainties and costs associated with continued litigation of this matter.”
“The city’s liability could have been upwards of $565,000 because the statute provides $2,500 to be assessed per each unlawful look-up of the database, and we had 226 look-ups,” said City Attorney Sara Grewing. “So we were looking at $565,000 plus attorney’s fees, if we were found liable.”
The settlement also calls for the city to remove her name, picture, address and any other personal information from the city and police department’s internal directory and website.
Rasmusson, her attorney and the city attorney’s office have agreed to the settlement.
City council President Kathy Lantry declined to comment on the proposed settlement after she and other city officials met for several hours to review it.
Speaking privately, city officials said they determined it would be less costly to accept the deal than face the possibility of paying out each claim. If the city were to lose the case, the payout could have topped $500,000.
Jon Iverson, an attorney representing the other cities in the case except St. Paul and Minneapolis, confirmed that Rasmusson was due to received $280,000 from them. Her overall payout of $665,000 could grow. Rasmusson has also leveled claims against Minneapolis and the state.
Rasmusson maintained she was approached by officers who took interest in her. The officers often knew where she lived or what kind of car she drove.
She alleged that officers from the other cities and counties “accessed, used or disclosed her private information approximately 554 times” between 2005 and 2012 “without any legitimate business reason to do so,” according to her amended suit, filed Sept. 28, in U.S. District Court.
The amended suit named 16 cities and counties that employed the 144 officers.

After a broken pipe caused significant flooding throughout our house, the PuroClean crew was supportive and efficient in clean up and demo. Chris and the guys were unfailingly kind, giving me time to process information about what the crew would be doing. Chris worked very hard to make sure that the house was as livable as possible - every single day. He did a wonderful job of planning work for each day so that he could leave the house clean and orderly for us. Chris really helped walk me through a very disruptive event. | <urn:uuid:28a8df97-9957-4d0e-9a0c-e9cdc5b2a91b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.puroclean.com/boulder-co-puroclean-disaster-response/review/barbara-in-arvada/ | 2021-11-30T21:53:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359073.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130201935-20211130231935-00548.warc.gz | en | 0.991415 | 106 |

Author Laurie Halse Anderson MAG
Probably best known for her novel Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson has won multiple awards for her writing. With novels like Fever, 1793 and Twisted, she spans genres and tackles unique plots. Her latest novel, Wintergirls, is available now.
Rachel: How were you inspired to write Speak? Was it based on a real-life incident?
Laurie Halse Anderson: Speak is about 10 percent based on the depression I suffered after I was raped, and 90 percent fiction.
Were you involved with the making of the movie “Speak”?
I was given the opportunity to work on the script, but I turned it down because I was busy writing a novel. I was on the set for three days, and had a cameo appearance as the lunch lady who serves Melinda mashed potatoes in the cafeteria.
Are you happy with the final product of the book and the movie?
I think Jessica Sharzer, the director, did a remarkable job with very few resources. Showtime dictated the change to the ending – there was nothing anyone could do about that. But I thought Kristen Stewart and the other actors gave great performances. And I was thrilled to hear so many of the lines from the book make their way onto the big screen!
Where do you find inspiration for your novels?
From my readers.
What is your favorite of your books?
I don't play favorites. This way my characters don't gang up on me.
Who are your favorite authors?
Neil Gaiman, Elizabeth George, Deb Heiligman, and Charles Dickens.
Which authors have influenced you?
I really have no idea. Probably someone who studies literature could figure that one out.
What advice do you have for aspiring teen writers?
1. Don't let anyone tell you that you cannot do this.
2. Be nice to your parents, because if you want to be a published author, you'll probably wind up living with them after college. For a decade.
3. Real writers revise their work over and over and over. Just sayin'. | <urn:uuid:eff9721e-e512-4ca4-9b49-939214c5b60c> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.teenink.com/fiction/author_interviews/article/230292/Author-Laurie-Halse-Anderson/ | 2021-04-13T16:03:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038073437.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20210413152520-20210413182520-00413.warc.gz | en | 0.938985 | 641 |
Anchorage endurance cyclist Lael Wilcox spent a long day and night dodging possums and snakes on the Kansas prairie last weekend while capturing her second straight women’s victory in the Unbound Gravel XL race.
Wilcox averaged 13.22 mph in the 358-mile gravel race, the longest of several races held Friday and Saturday as part of the annual Unbound Gravel races in the Flint Hills near Emporia, Kansas.
Besides critters that live in the tall grasses, racers contended with hot weather and strong winds.
Some 2,000 cyclists competed in distances ranging from 25 miles to 358 miles, with more than 900 racing in the 200-mile race and another 700 in the 100-mile race.
Wilcox, 34, placed 12th overall in a field of 47 finishers in the event’s longest race. The race started Friday afternoon and ended Saturday afternoon in Emporia.
Wilcox, a veteran of many longer races, never stopped to sleep and finished just shy of 27 hours in a time of 26:55:24. She was seven seconds out of 11th place overall and two minutes ahead of the second woman, Amanda Nauman of California.
“It was really hard,” Wilcox told Velo News. “But it’s not cold and there are people around and you only need lighting for one night. I was dodging possums all night long, and snakes.”
One of the top endurance cyclists in the world regardless of gender, Wilcox said the course was more difficult this year than in 2019, the last time the race was held.
In 2019, Wilcox topped the women in 23:51, three hours faster than her time this year. She was one of six cyclists who broke the 24-hour barrier that year; this year, only one racer finished in less than one day — winner Taylor Lideen of Phoenix, who dipped below 23 hours (22:57:14). Lideen broke the event record for speed, averaging 15.9 mph. The previous fastest pace was 15.1 mph. | <urn:uuid:049ed7f0-ead6-4763-a02e-710a8052baa6> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.adn.com/sports/2021/06/08/anchorages-lael-wilcox-wards-off-possums-and-snakes-to-claim-womens-title-in-358-mile-gravel-bike-race/ | 2022-12-01T16:21:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710829.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20221201153700-20221201183700-00636.warc.gz | en | 0.963273 | 437 |

SPARTA, Wis. -- A Sparta man is charged with homicide for a 2009 suspected drunk driving crash that killed his brother.
Jason Schodeberg, 26, was arrested June 29 for allegedly driving drunk and crashing a vehicle July 26, 2009 on Highway 33 near Cashton.
His brother, 30-year-old Glenn Schodeberg of Leon, was thrown from the vehicle before being pinned beneath it. He was dead at the scene.
Jason Schodeberg left the crash scene, but was found later and treated for non-life threatening injuries.
At the time of the accident, investigators could not determine who was driving the vehicle.
The Monroe County Sheriff's Department says DNA evidence and witnesses helped investigators determine Jason Schodeberg was the driver.
Schodeberg appeared in court Monday on six charges, including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle
Schodeberg was released on a $5,000 cash bond. He is scheduled to appear in court again July 9. | <urn:uuid:12824a2f-b339-4d95-84bc-68b499621d85> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.news8000.com/news/Sparta-man-charged-with-homicide-for-2009-fatal-crash/15376652 | 2014-11-27T11:00:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931008227.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155648-00029-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98012 | 202 |
The trendy pick to jump into the first round at quarterback is Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes, the unorthodox gunslinger from Texas Tech.
Nobody will deny his physical traits and rare arm strength, but considering the lack of NFL success we’ve seen from highly productive Red Raider passers, many wonder if Mahomes will be able to buck that trend.
He’s ready to prove he can do just that at this week’s NFL Scouting Combine, per Emily Kaplan of MMQB:
It’s understandable why people would think I’m just another Air Raid guy, not ready for [the pros]. Quarterbacks who came from our system haven’t done well in the NFL; that’s a fact.
At the combine, I am going to show NFL teams that I am ready to play Day 1. Everyone knows I can make the throws, but I’m smarter than people think. I know these NFL concepts. I’m not a project.
Clemson’s Deshaun Watson, North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky and Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer have been the three passers expected to come off the board in the top 32 picks, but an impressive performance at the Combine, both on the field and behind closed doors, could vault Mahomes into that range. | <urn:uuid:bbf89279-c540-411a-8601-40c39bf3b23e> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://draftwire.usatoday.com/2017/03/01/patrick-mahomes-i-know-these-nfl-concepts-im-not-a-project/ | 2022-10-02T23:12:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337360.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002212623-20221003002623-00677.warc.gz | en | 0.935037 | 280 |
Our vast collection of books now numbers over 3 million and is increasing at the rate of about 45,000 a year.
The criteria for selection are that the books should be required for serious research and study, and not readily available in local libraries. Therefore, juvenile, fictional and recreational publications are generally not acquired, nor are practical "how-to" books or school textbooks.
All subjects are covered. We have books in many languages, but it is in English language material that our collections are particularly strong. They are acquired mainly from the UK and North America but Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Japan and south-east Asia are all well represented. | <urn:uuid:965f96b6-f874-4c9a-a247-36eecfdbad09> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.bl.uk/reshelp/atyourdesk/docsupply/collection/books/index.html | 2015-07-07T19:48:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375100481.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031820-00230-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.960848 | 145 |

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates in general to computers and in particular to power control circuitry for use in a computer system and systems using the same.
2. Description of the Related Art
In the last few years, purchasers of electronic appliances such as personal computers (PCS) and digital home entertainment systems, have not only demanded the latest technology but also lower prices. In the case of home entertainment systems, the purchaser additionally may demand that a system, such as a digital video disk (DVD) player, have a "look and feel" similar to that of a stereo equipment or a VCR, despite the fact that the entertainment system may have much or more functionality as a PC. In other words, in a home entertainment system, it has become desirable that the system be compactly packaged instead of being packaged like a traditional PC with a series of components (computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse) coupled together by cables. To build such a low-cost, high-functionality, compactly packaged system requires a great deal of forethought and innovation.
Among the features required for consumer acceptance of a "full feature" personal computer/home entertainment system is a DVD player along with the video and audio processing components required to reproduce sharp images and clear sound. The ability to process video from other sources, such as a TV tuner and audio from an associated audio source, such as a CD player, will increase the attractiveness of such a device. Additionally, the traditional processing features of a personal computer must be retained, such as a hard drive, floppy disk drive, as well as the capability to run the latest operating systems and applications program. Further, conveniences such as a keyboard or controller linked to the system through a wireless port further increase the marketability of the product.
In view of increasing demands by the consumer, the need has arisen for a home entertainment/PC system to meet these demands.
One embodiment of the teachings of the present invention is circuitry for remotely controlling power in a computing system. In this embodiment, an infrared receiver receives a code transmitted from a remote device. In response to the code, circuitry generates a pulse which emulates the output of a switch. A transistor receives the pulse at a control terminal and outputs a control signal in response.
The teachings of the present invention have significant advantages. Among other things, they allow a user to turn-on and turn-off a computer using a wireless remote control. This is only one of the major features that can increase the marketablility of a computer product, and in particular, an entertainment computer system.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagram of an entertainment computer system;
FIG. 2A is a diagram of the front panel of a packaged unit embodying the system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 2B is a diagram of the front panel connectors of the packaged unit of FIG. 2A;
FIG. 2C is a diagram of the backpanel connectors of the packaged unit of FIG. 2A;
FIG. 3 is a diagram of a remote control unit suitable for use with the system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is diagram of the IR communications subsystem of the system shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a diagram describing the power control state machine operation; and
FIG. 6 is a diagram of the circuit which control memory power during system suspension/low power operation.
The principles of the present invention and their advantages are best understood by referring to the illustrated embodiment depicted in FIG. 1-6 of the drawings, in which like numbers designate like parts.
FIG. 1 is a diagram of an entertainment computer system 100 embodying the teachings of the present invention. System 100 advantageously integrates the functionality of a general purpose microprocessor based computer system with the high quality audio and visual capability of entertainment system on a single printed circuit (PC) board. As discussed further below, system 100 can be integrated with peripheral devices such as a digital video disk (DVD) player, a floppy drive, and a hard drive, in a single compact package. Among the functional features, system 100 incorporates a high speed modem for external communications, circuitry for processing 3D graphics data required for such software applications as gaming, circuitry for generating high quality video and audio from data received from a digital video disk (DVD) and/or compact disk (CD). Additionally, system 100 is able to generate audio and video for traditional television signals in the NTSC format.
System 100 is based on a central processing unit 101. The CPU runs the operating system software, provides overall system management, and generates graphics data. CPU 101 may be for example an Intel Pentium® MAX, Cyrix; M2, or AMD K6, or similar microprocessor operating with a clock speed of between 160 and 300 MHZ. In the present embodiment, the operating system is the Microsoft Windows 98 system which allows for universal serial bus (USB) expansion, supports DirectX 5.0 graphics processing software, the advanced configuration and power interface (ACP), and allows for DVD processing via the ActiveMovie 2.0 software and the Windows driver model (WDM).
System memory 102 supports CPU 101 through north bridge (core logic) 103. System memory 102 may be up to 128 Mbytes of SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory). CPU 101 is additionally supported by an L2 cache 104 which may be for instance 256 or 512 kbytes of static random access memory (SRAM).
North bridge 103 interfaces CPU 101, system memory 102, and the devices on PCI bus 105 and 66Mhz AGP (accelerated graphics port) bus 106. With regards to the system memory, north bridge 103 acts as the system "host" managing buffers and registers in system memory required to support devices on the PCI and AGP buses. North bridge 103 also controls the memory operations required by the DRAMs of system memory 102, including physical address generation, read/write control, and cell refresh. North bridge 103 can also operate as the PCI bus master. In the illustrated embodiment, north bridge 104, is a SiS5592 chip set which includes integrated IDE Mode 3 and Mode 4 and Ultra-DMA/33 support, along with the PCI bus mastering capability. This device supports two separate data channels and four drives. North bridge 103, along with the south bridge discussed below, collectively form the system core logic chip set.
Graphics processing is based on graphics accelerator 107, operating off of AGP bus 106 (accelerator 107 is the master of AGP bus 106 in compliance with the AGP 1.0 specification), which in the illustrated embodiment is a Cirrus Logic CL-GD5465 high performance graphics accelerator which supports an Intel AGP hardware and Microsoft Direct3D graphics software. Graphics accelerator includes a 64-bit graphics engine with 3D games acceleration, and performs, among other things, a variety of texturing operations, the rendering of points, lines and triangles during display image generation and refresh, mono rasterization, blending, fog and transparency control, as well as video and MPEG2/DVD acceleration. In the illustrated embodiment, graphics accelerator also includes GUI (graphics user interface) accelerator which performs such tasks as hardware clipping, BitBlits (bit boundary block transfers) within graphics memory 108 and color expansion. An integrated VGA controller and an output to support a TV tuner are also preferably included.
Graphics memory 108 stores color-buffer, z-buffer, video, and texture data and acts as the traditional video/graphics frame buffer. In the illustrated embodiment, graphics memory 108 utilizes a Rambus® memory architecture running up to 600 Mbytes/second with 4 Mbytes of RDRAM.
Video data are exchanged with graphics controller 106 through video port 109. Video port 109 includes a decoder, such as an ITT VPX3225 multi-standard decoder, for decoding S-video, NTSC or PAL formatted video data into digital form for use by the graphics processor. Video port 109 also supports the input of NTSC or PAL video from a Cirrus Logic Legend I TV-tuner/DVD board which includes a Philips Fl1236 TV tuner module, a Sony CXA1724S TV audio decoder and an IBM CD1V MPEG2 decoder. Additionally, video port 109 includes a television encoder, such as a Cirrus Logic GD1053 NTSC/PAL encoder with flicker-filter preprocessor, which receives VGA and MPEG data from graphics processor 109 and outputs signals in compliance with either the NTSC or PAL (interlaced or noninterlaced) television formats for driving a television display. Additionally, the television encoder performs such tasks as flicker-filtering, insertion of closed captions, luminance and chrominance control, scaling, and window within window control.
South bridge 110 bridges PCI bus 105 and an ISA bus 111. South bridge 110 also provides the interface for receiving infrared (IR) signals through an IR window from a remote controller or keyboard and a universal serial bus (USB), collectively shown at block 112.
BIOS ROM 113 holds both the system BIOS along with an integrated video BIOS for graphics accelerator 107. In the illustrated embodiment, ROM 113 comprises 2 Mbits of flash memory with segmented ROM support on ISA bus 111. The system BIOS is preferably the Phoenix BIOS with ACPI and PnP.
Coupled to ISA bus 111 is an ISA audio system 114 which operates in conjunction with a PCI-based audio accelerator 115 coupled to PCI bus 105. Audio system 114 is preferably a Cirrus Logic CS4235 single chip ISA audio system. Digital audio data can be received from ISA bus 111 and processed using Microsoft Windows System or Sound Blaster/Sound Blaster Pro software. Data can also be received from a wavetable, such as a Cirrus Logic CS9236 wavetable synthesizer or a CD-ROM player. FM digital data can be synthesized on-chip. Data is exchanged directly with audio accelerator 115 through a dedicated interface.
Functionally, audio system 114 system can perform a number of tasks on the input digital audio data received from ISA bus 111. For example, the digital audio data can be converted into analog form and mixed with analog audio data input directly to the device. The analog data can come from such sources as a microphone, a monophonic audio source, or a stereo audio source, such as a CD player. The mixed data can then converted to digital audio and output to ISA bus 111 or audio accelerator 115. Mixed data can also be 3D enhanced and output as analog data.
Accelerator 115 is a DSP (digital signal processor) or similar processor based device, preferably a Cirrus Logic CS4610 PCI Audio Accelerator. Accelerator 115, along with its application and driver software, performs various audio processing functions simultaneously on multiple streams of data being exchanged with host based memory buffers in system memory 102 via PCI bus 105 and audio system 114. Generally, accelerator 115 provides acceleration for audio applications used in gaming, DVD and music playback, and video conferencing. Exemplary software audio applications which are supported by accelerator 115 are various versions of Microsoft DirectSound, DirectShow, and Aureal A3D Interactive. Some specific examples of the processing done by accelerator 114 are multichannel mixing and sample rate conversion, Dolby Digital and MPEG2 decoding, and wavetable synthesis and effects processing. In the illustrated embodiment, accelerator 115 includes a DMA controller with hardware scatter-gather for transferring data streams to and from the host memory buffers, advantageously minimizing host (north bridge 103) memory loading requirements. Additionally, in the illustrated embodiment, the accelerator-PCI bus interface can function as the PCI bus master.
Also operating of PCI bus 105 is a PCI-based modem 116, such as a Cirrus Logic CL-MD5622 Controllerless Modem, which supports both data and voice telephony, and FAX transmissions. In the controllerless embodiment, the host (north bridge 103) acts as the controller and modem 116 employs a DSP for such tasks as data modulation and demodulation, and interfacing with the telephone system and peripheral devices such as speakers and headsets. Modem 116, along with a microphone and a speaker or headset, supports full-duplex, echo-cancelled digital voice telephony. Data modulation can be performed in accordance with the 3 Com×2 software technology, ITU-V.34 software at 33.2 to 2.4 kbps in symmetric and asymmetric operation, along with ITU versions V.32 bis, V.23, V.22 bis, and V.21, and Bell 212A and 103 software. FAX modulation may be performed using ITU-T V.17 and V.19 software to 14.4 kbps. Modem 116 can receive data at up to 56 kbps.
Link layer 117 and physical layer 118, in combination, allow for an IEEE 1394 connection to be established with system 100. More particularly, link layer 117 interfaces with PCI bus 105 and physical layer 118 interfaces with at least one IEEE 1394 external port. Link layer 117 may be for example a Texas Instruments TSB12LV22 1394 Host Controller and physical layer 118 a Texas Instruments TSB41LV03 1394 Three Port Cable Transceiver/Arbiter.
Power supply 119 is a 90 watt power supply sourcing 3.3v, 5v, 12v and 5 vAux power in accordance with the SFX standard. Preferably, power supply 119 also conforms with the Intel PC98 Power Supply Specification. Lower voltages can also be jumper-selected from an on board power supply.
The system clocks are generated by clock circuitry 120. Clock circuitry 120 can be based for example on a Cypress CY2265 clock driver and a 14.31818 MHZ crystal oscillator. Additional dedicated crystals/crystal oscillators are used, as required, by some of the individual devices themselves.
Connector block 121 represents the external connectors, for connecting to case-external devices, and internal connectors for connecting system 100 with devices packaged with system 100 as a single unit. FIG. 2A is a diagram of the front panel of such a package or unit 200. Along with system 100, unit 200 includes a floppy disk drive 201, hard drive (internal, not shown), and DVD player 202, each connected to system 100 through internal connector or header. External connectors on the front panel reside behind an access panel (door) 203. An IR window allows communication with a remote device 207, such as a remote keyboard or a universal controller. The manual power switch for unit 200 is shown at 206 and volume controls at 208a and 208b.
FIG. 2B is a diagram of the front panel connectors behind access panel 203 and FIG. 2C a diagram of the backpanel connectors of unit 200. The function of each of the depicted connectors is as follows.
Analog audio can be input to and output from audio system 114 through three available standard stereo jacks on the unit 200 backpanel. Line-in jack 211 is a stereo input which provides analog audio, for instance from a compact disk player, to audio system 104 for mixing with digital data from the PCI bus or analog data received from another analog audio port. Similarly, signals from an microphone can be input to audio system 114 through MIC jack 213. The Line-out jack 203 is used to drive mixed analog data from audio system 114 to devices such as audio amplifiers, speakers and headphones.
Two IEEE 1394 compliant connectors 214a and 214b, one on the backpanel and one on the front panel, support communications in the IEEE 1394 protocol through physical layer 118 and link layer 117. Front- and backpanel USB connectors 215a and 215b allow for the input and output of serial data to and from system 100 through port 112 and south bridge 110.
Connections to video port 109 can made through an antenna connector 216, an S-video output port 217, NTSC composite input and output ports 218 and 219 (both RCA jacks) or VGA connector 220. Surround sound L/R and center/sub audio are output through standard stereo jacks 221 and 222. Specifically, antenna 216 and composite input 218 feed broadcast NTSC or PAL into a TV tuner card, such as found on the Cirrus Legend 1 card discussed above. Composite video output port couples data from the NTSC/PAL encoder to a television or similar NTSC/ PAL based display device. S-Video output connector (port) 217 drives S-Video data generated by the NTSC/PAL encoder to an S-Video compatible display device. VGA connector 220 is a standard connector for driving an RGB-data based display, such as a computer display, under control of the VGA controller within graphics accelerator 107.
AC connector 209 on the backpanel supports the connection of power supply 119 with an external source of AC power. RJ11 connector 210 supports a connection between unit 200 and a conventional female telephone jack. RJ11 supports the exchange of modulated voice, data and FAX with the modem 116 chip set through an DAA interface.
As indicated above, IR window 204 allows unit 200 to wirelessly communicate with a remote device 206 such as a universal controller or keyboard. In the illustrated embodiment, remote device 206 is a Philips RC8642 Remote Control Unit. A diagram of the front face of this unit is provided as FIG. 3. The following discussion will be based on this exemplary embodiment.
Remote 206 includes a power button 301 for turning-on and turning-off unit 200. Buttons 302 control various functions available to the user, such as TV, A/V amplifier-tuner, and the like. A button is also provided for selecting the mode of a mouse and mouse buttons 304. An alpha-numeric keypad is depicted generally at 304, a mute button at 305 and VCR/DVD controls generally at 306. Channel and volume controls are shown at 307 and 308 respectively.
When a button is pressed, a code representing the function associated with that button is transmitted as modulated IR signals under a defined protocol compatible with the receiving device. The code set is stored as firmware in ROM within remote 206.
FIG. 4 is more detailed block diagram of part of the remote 204 --system 100 IR communications subsystem within block 112 (pull-ups and signals not relevant to the present discussion have been omitted for clarity; see the electrical schematics in the Appendix hereto for further detail). In the illustrated embodiment, system power-down and power-up from remote 206 is implemented as follows, assuming that power-down is being performed (power-up works in a similar manner).
When the power button is pressed on remote 206, the corresponding power down code is transmitted to system 100 via IR window 204 and an IR receiver (detector) 401. Receiver 401 could be for example a Temic Semiconductor TSOP1136 Photo Module for 36 khz PCM. IR receiver 401 converts the received IR code signal into electrical form. The resulting electrical signal is transmitted to a dedicated input pin to USB-IR controller 402. This controller is preferably a Philips Semiconductor 83C654 microcontroller programmed to support the IR and USB functions of unit 200, including control of the power button operations. (The Phillips 83C654 controller is modified to include an additional pin for receiving signals for IR receiver 401). Note that receiver 401 and controller 402 operate from a +5V standby supply which remains powered-up (as long as AC power is available) even though the remaining power sources in system 100 have shut-down. Also recognize that power down and power-up does not necessarily have to be initiated by the power button on remote 206. For example, a set of keystrokes into the alphanumeric pad could be used for power control, depending on the firmware programming.
When controller 401 receives the active power code from receiver 401, it runs the state machine shown in FIG. 5 (the state machine function being programmed in the microcontroller on-chip ROM). The state machine is in the IDLE at state 501 waiting for the power-down signal from IR receiver 401. Assume for discussion that system 100 is on and operating during the time the state machine is idling. When the power-down signal is received from receiver 401, controller 402 generates a 250 millisecond pulse at state 502 and outputs the pulse as USBIR-- WAKE on a dedicated output (if a Philips 83C654 is used, this output must also be added). When the remote power button is released, the state machine returns to IDLE state 501. If the user continues to hold the power button, the state machine loops at state 502 until the button is released.
The 250 ms pulse output from controller 402 (USBIR-- WAKE) controls the current flow through field effect transistor 403. This current path parallels that controlled by unit 200 power switch 205. Significantly, the USBIR-- WAKE pulse emulates the pulse output from power switch 205 when unit power switch 205 is depressed. The 250 millisecond pulse at the gate of transistor 403 in turn causes the generation of a 250 millisecond signal PSWITCHW, which is sent to south bridge 110 and system 100 is shut-down or sent into a low power state (suspend-to-RAM) in accordance with the Intel ACDI specification.
If system 100 has become inactive for an extended period, or if the system is configured to respond from a depression of power switch 205, or remote 206, system 100 enters a Suspend-to-RAM state wherein all system and application software and data are stored in the appropriate on-board RAM in the DRAMs of system memory 102. The "inactive" state occurs when inputs have not been received from the mouse, keyboard, or network typically connected to system 100. The lack of need for display update or the inactivity of modem 116 can also indicate inactivity. The length of the extended period of inactivity is selected by the user through the operating system graphical user interface. The user can also select which devices will cause the system to wake-up. For example, the user may select movement of the mouse, entry of keystrokes or a telephone ring to be the triggering event.
When the software timing monitoring inactivity times out indicating an inactive state, or the user makes the appropriate input, the APCI code in the operating system saves the appropriate application and operating system software, along with any data, in system memory 102. The operating system then writes to register in the CPU/PCI/USB/PWR MISC chip within south bridge chip set 110. In turn, south bridge 110 outputs a signal (MEM-- CKE) to the DRAM DIMM (dual in-line memory module) of system memory 102. This signal causes the DIMM to enter a low power state in which the memory contents are retained but the DIMM interface to north bridge 103 is shut down.
After the software and data have been saved, the primary 12V, 5V and 3.3V power are turned-off by signal (#OCCTL) output by south bridge 110. The DRAMs of the system memory 102 are now powered by a small single 5V on-board standby power supply (outputting approximately 200 mA). Additionally, IR receiver 401 and USB-IR controller 402 remain powered by the 5V stand-by power source in order to detect and respond to incoming codes from remote 206.
FIG. 6 is a diagram of circuit 600 which controls the power during the Suspend-to-RAM state. Circuit 600 is based on a voltage regulator 601, preferably a Linear Technology LT1121CS8 Adjustable Voltage Regulator. When system power is up, the primary 12V supply 603 maintains transistor 602 in the on-state. In this case, the voltage to the DIMM module, VDINM of system memory 102 is supplied from the primary 3.3V supply 604. When these supplies power down in response to south bridge 110, south bridge 110 forces signal 5V-DUALON low which causes regulator 602 to output a 3.3 VSB standby voltage which supplies the system memory 100 DIMM from the small +5Vsb standby power supply.
System 100 wakes-up when either a command is received from remote 206 (e.g. power button depression) or when a triggering event, such as mouse movement or a modem ring, occurs. In the case where a command is received from remote 206, a 250 mS pulse is generated as described above and the signal USBIR-- WAKE signal is used to signal system wake-up.

Nepali, or Gorkhali as it is also called, is the language of the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal. It is also the official language of Sikkim state in India and spoken to a lesser extent in Bhutan and Burma; a somewhat similar dialect can be heard in the Indian states of Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh. Nepali evolved from Sanskrit, though it shows distinct Tibeto-Burman influences.
To an untrained ear Nepali sounds quite like Hindi, though the Persian influence is absent; it shares a common script with Hindi, though. Many Nepalis speak Hindi, and dialects of Hindi, as a second language so it would be advisable to carry a Connect Hindi phrasebook while travelling in the country.
The oldest Nepali inscriptions date back to 1321 but very little early literature is available. The best known writings in the language date back to the latter half of the 19th century, some of which are translations of Sanskrit works, of the Ramayana and even the Bible.
This Connect Phrasebook has a standardized version of Nepali that should help you negotiate your way through the streets of the enhancing Himalayan kingdom.
Cultural Influences in Nepal
Settlement in Nepal dates back to the pre-historic era. The small country shares its borders with China in the north and India on the other three sides; some of its oldest inhabitants were Tibeto-Burman in origin. It shares the cultural experiences of the Indian subcontinent.
Many dynasties ruled over Nepal, the most prominent among the early ones being the shakyas-siddhartha, later known as Gautam Buddha, was a shakyas prince-who ruled in the 6th century BC.
Every now and then Nepal fell to powerful north India empires but retained its Buddist character. In the latter half of 11th century AD south Nepal was captured by the Chalukya’s of south India; their hegemony, though short-lived, was notable for the re-imposition of Hinduism in the region.
Much of Nepal’s subsequent history is marked by pretty quarrels between different kingdoms, and though various rulers attempted to resolve the differences none succeeded until the Gokha prithvi Narayan Shah in the 18th century. But peace did not last long. There were brief but bloody battles-first with Tibetans and then with the British East India Company-that took a toll on the kingdom. Nepal lost much of its territory (including several states in modern-day India) to the British and its borders were redefined once and for all.
Modern day Nepal has a majority Hindu Population and there are striking cultural similarities between the hilly regions of northern India, particularly Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh. Its cultural diversity reflects its Tibeto-Burman and Indo-Aryan roots.
Nepali literature is still young and reflects the turbulence the country has witnessed in recent times. Nepal also has its own film industry, though Hindi movies and films songs are popular too. The scenic country has featured in a few Bollywood (the popular name for the Hindi film industry) films and occasionally films stars from Nepal have made their mark on the Indian silver screen.

I got this book for my boyfriend who is a cross-country trucker. During the course of his trips he has little choice as to where to eat, because parking for a large rig is limited, so he frequents fast-food restaurants. I bought this book to assist him in making better food choices and getting the most nutrition out of his meals when he on the road.
This diet for intestinal health will explain things as well as a doctor can on a range of problems, including Crohn's disease and colitis.
After watching episode 3: I should never doubt Mr. Whedon. The series is really starting to roll. The reason I didn't recognize the names in the first episodes is that he is creating his own superheros (and maybe villans!). Episode 3 had me laughing in guilty expectation of some really cool stuff. Watch this series and give it a chance, you will not be disappointed.
(After watching episode 2: Episode two gives the series another star in the rating. My hopes are high. This series has great pacing and obviously allot of money invested in it. The cool thing is that Joss Whedon has the habit of making characters that have allot of hidden abilities/talents which reveal themselves over time. Also, funded by Marvel, Joss may have been given a go ahead for the entire year, where he doesn't have to worry about some idiots cancelling his series (Firefly). This second episode got my hopes up even more and I just have a feeling its going to be one of his great ones
My post-episode musings: I still think the name dropping was overdone, but I have very high hopes for this series. With Joss directing, I think its going to be great!)
(After watching episode 1: With all the name dropping I imagine the Marvel - philes we're probably ejaculating with glee, however it was a bit flat for me. I don't know the personal names of all the marble superheroes so it slipped past me, I guess.
It seemed a very slow start, but with Joss Wheadon directing, I'm sure it will pick up. I will continue to watch the series and I'll bet it turns into something great. It just isn't there yet.)
I'm not going to write a long review. I been looking to buy a tablet for a few months and decided to wait for this one. I got mine ASUS Prime 64GB Champagne tablet about 2 months ago. All I have to say is that its a excellent Tablet. Very solid peace of hardware. I really love it. I also purchased a 64GB microsd card for it. Now my tablet has around 120 GB storage. Really could't find any tablet out there with better specifications, and when connected to the key board.... Man... No words. I have used the tablet and keyboard combination for my business for around 30 days to test it out and it worked great!!! No complaints. I really recommend this tablet. ASUS did a really good job on this tablet. I will give this one to my wife and will definitely buy the ASUS TF700 when it comes out. | <urn:uuid:39710272-a01e-4d46-ad80-986eb240a8ec> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://pharmacyreviewer2014.com/h/hard.voidallegations.info.html | 2017-04-28T08:17:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917122886.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031202-00172-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979903 | 690 |

If you’ve been reading B2B for a while, then I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about Social Restaurant & Bar at least a few times by now. I hosted RM’s surprise birthday party there last year, I saddled up to the bar a little while ago for pizza and bubbly and then we also went there for New Years Eve– clearly I’m a big fan of the restaurant so when I connected with the owner about hosting a blogger dinner there was I was super excited. I haven’t ever planned a blogger event like this and while it was a little stressful trying to coordinate between various people and schedules and things like that, it was a really fun experience. Plus, when you get to spend an evening chatting, eating and drinking with these lovely ladies, how could you not enjoy yourself?!
Let’s talk about the food, though, because it was incredible! I’ve eaten there enough to know that they serve delicious food, but last week was a whole other experience.
When we got there, we were able to mingle over cocktails and my favorite chicken “lollipops” (buffalo and BBQ) and spicy pork tacos. What I love about the lollipops is that there is way more meat on them than your standard wing. And the tacos? I mean, I loveeee tacos so it’s no surprise that I loved them, but even if I didn’t love tacos I would still think they were great. I loved the spicy kick and the pork was really flavorful.
Once we had enough time to get to know everyone and catch up with those we did know, we headed to our table. I liked that it was a small enough group where we could sit and still be able to talk with everyone. They sent out some cocktails for us to taste and even though I’m not a big mixed drink person, I was a big fan of the ELDER STATESMAN (ketel one, st. germain liquer, lemon juice, splash of soda- $10). I didn’t get to try the RED MOJITO (bacardi silver, fresh limes, mint, drunken cherries-$10), but the others said it was delicious.
For starters, they sent out the Fall Kale Salad (honey crisp apple, red radish, scallion, almond cider green goddess dressing ) and the Heirloom Beet Salad (golden & candy stripe beets, goat cheese, panna cotta, toasted hazelnuts half), both of which I went back for seconds on. Next, they sent out a super neat dish called Hot Rocks, which was thinly sliced brandt beef drizzled with white truffle oil which we were able to cook at the table! Our last starter was another favorite of the night: Yellowfin Tuna, which was rare seared and served with sticky rice, spicy green beans, pickled daikon, avocado and sweet soy ginger sauce. It was absolutely incredible and would be something I’d easily order again.
We thought we were done here, but boy were we wrong! We were pleasantly surprised when they brought over an entire roast chicken that was cooked to perfection. The flavor was on point- maybe even the best I’ve ever had? Which is a big statement since I have roast chicken frequently. Alongside that was a serving of their Maple Roasted Squash Farro, which perfectly complimented the chicken. I could’ve just eaten a bowl for that and have been happy! It was a flavor party in my mouth 🙂
And finally, when we thought we couldn’t eat anymore, they brought out their Chocolate Lava Cake and Nutella Bread Pudding (which we had on NYE!). Even though I was so full, I am a firm believer that dessert holds its own separate space in our stomachs so of course I ate my share of both 😉
I can’t say it enough- if you haven’t checked out the Social Restaurant and Bar, I highly suggest getting yourself there! It’s literally right off of Exit 17 off the Pike and they validate parking on the weekends.
And lastly, a huge thank you to Bill over at the Social and for all of these amazing bloggers who took time out of their busy life to meet up and check out the Social!
After such great conversations with everyone about life, work, blogging and working out, I left there feeling so blessed to be able to have connected with such strong, empowering women. Thank you, ladies! | <urn:uuid:f8b674ad-55f7-4b75-827e-a615a84f0237> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://burpeestobubbly.com/2016/01/26/ | 2021-04-11T12:03:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038062492.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20210411115126-20210411145126-00250.warc.gz | en | 0.979539 | 956 |
Vitamin & Mineral Deficiencies
What exactly happens?
I constantly hear people say that they save money by feeding their Koi something other than a quality koi food. Normally I keep my mouth shut in response, but since this is my article, I can give my opinion.
Yes, your Koi will “live” on trout chow, catfish chow, or other types of food. I even met a person who fed ground up cat food, not catfish food, CAT FOOD. Likewise, you and I could live on Donuts, or bacon cheeseburgers, but we wouldn’t be in the best of health.
If you expect your koi to grow healthy, strong, & disease resistant, make sure you feed a healthy “Koi” food. I’m not going to endorse one food over another here, because there are many quality foods out there and they keep getting better. I just ask that you read the labels, compare brands, & buy food designed specially for koi. It is even a good idea to use more than one so you are sure to get enough of the proper vitamins.
You have probably heard not to use food that has “corn” as one of the first 3 ingredients because Koi can’t digest it. But did you know what the following deficiencies can do?
|Vitamin A||Impaired growth, body depigmentation, pop eye.|
|Vitamin D3||Poor growth, impaired calcium balance.|
|Vitamin E||Anemia, increased water retention.|
|Vitamin C||Scoliosis, deformative growth, hemorrhagic skin, liver, kidney, intestine, and muscle.|
|Riboflavin||Cloudy eyes, hemorrhagic eyes, dark body coloration.|
|Niacin||Loss of appetite, jerky or difficult motion.|
|Menadione||Prolonged blood clotting, anemia.|
|D-pantothenic||Loss of appetite, clubbed gills, gill exudate.|
|Folic acid||Lethargy, fragile caudal (tail) fin.|
|Pyridoxine||Hyper-irritability, loss of appetite, rapid and gasping breathing.|
|Thiamine||Poor appetite, convulsions, loss of equilibrium.|
|Biotin||Spastic convulsions, skin lesions.|
|B 12||Poor appetite, anemia.|
|Manganese||Loss of equilibrium, dwarfism, high mortality.|
|Zinc||Anorexia, fin and skin erosion.|
|Iodine||Thyroid hyperplasia (abnormal increase of thyroid cell growth).|
|Copper||Lack of important metabolic enzymes.| | <urn:uuid:15fe9f11-3b98-4257-95b0-edd12a9a843b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://lonestarkoi.com/resources/articles/vitamin-deficiencies/ | 2017-10-22T22:52:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825473.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022222745-20171023002745-00853.warc.gz | en | 0.884761 | 605 |
Dash Casino Review
Dash Casino used to have more cons than pros, so we aren’t upset with its closure. It was a recommended site by some portals with not many complaints from players, but we weren’t over the moon with it. The 32Red group decided to reduce the number of brands for the sake of their quality. Anyway, if you seek decent places, draw your attention to Ikibu Casino, Maria Casino, SuperLenny Casino, and Casino Room.
They belong to the 32Red group of companies. Everything good there is about it derives from this fact. This place holds two licenses - from UK Gambling Commission and Government of Gibraltar. It is secured by advanced encryption technologies and ensures the safety of players’ personal data. Oh goodness, at least this crap is properly protected!
When it comes to the actual website, that’s where the problems begin.
When it comes to the actual site, that’s where the problems begin. Yes, we do appreciate original design, something that stands out. But do it properly pretty please, would ya? The useful space occupies about 50% of the screen, game icons are minuscule, the navigation is nightmarish, links do not work. It’s like they’re intentionally trying to get rid of players.
Banking: Standard deposit and banking options including credit cards and e-wallets like Neteller, Paypal, and Skrill. Cashout time is 48 hours.
Customer Support: Amazing, award-winning online customer support that you can reach by... being redirected to the 32 Red Casino. Here, they have a Help Centre with FAQ, a regular mail address, and also a live chat but this one is available only for registered players.
Software and Game Variety
Alright, let’s take a deep breath. The online game library is actually pretty good (350+ titles), thanks to the Microgaming platform. That is, if you don’t mind downloading a client on your PC. Otherwise, you’re stuck with just about a hundred instant play slots. Overall, the choice is satisfying:
- Slots: Jurassic World, Tarzan, Bikini Party;
- Table Games: Sic Bo, French Roulette, Classic Blackjack Gold;
- Video Poker: All Aces Poker, All American Poker, Bonus Poker;
- Progressive Jackpots: Mega Moolah, Jackpot Deuces, Major Millions;
Apart from that, there’s really nothing more to add.
Mobile and Live Games
They redirect mobile players to a generic Microgaming mobile platform. It works fine, you can play most of the slots, but it still raises the question of why the parent company ever spent the time and resources to create this cripple in the first place? Maybe it’s adopted?
There are no online live games here at the moment. If you’re craving for some interaction, try to read the Latin lines and check whether something more interesting happens when you go to bed at night.
Bonuses and Promotions
The welcome bonus for new players reaches an incredible, inconceivable, unparalleled, mind-blowing, eye-popping 50 bucks. No, we didn’t miss any zeroes there. 100% match bonus on first deposit up to $50 and that’s it. It is also a subject to x40 playthrough requirement and your maximum bet while playing through is limited to 6.25 credits. ‘Nuff said.
We honestly don’t know why you would want to play at Dash Casino.
Check out other monthly/weekly promos to see if there’s anything worth your time. The site says they somehow reward their players, but the links are not clickable.
We honestly don’t know why you would want to here. In fact, we don’t know how you would play there with such a crippled site. It is undoubtedly fair and safe, but why waste time on it if there is an award-winning parent casino - 32Red. There’s nothing specific this ugly little sister can offer, except for her flaws.
That's it for our Dash Casino review. Click the button, make a deposit, and see whether you have ever visited such a disheveled site before. | <urn:uuid:70aaa388-e53d-4df9-aca4-42b480d2b80e> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://holymolycasinos.com/casino/dash-casino-review | 2019-06-19T23:52:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999066.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619224436-20190620010436-00494.warc.gz | en | 0.922461 | 895 |
First generation college student shows passion for academics, sports
Angela Norris is a first-generation college student attending Broward College with the desire to pursue a major in business administration and management. She is a full-time student, in her second year. She attends Broward College on a full scholarship because she is the pitcher on the women’s softball team.
Norris has been playing softball since the age of 9. After playing softball at South Broward High School for four years, she was offered a scholarship to BC. One of the main reasons she accepted the scholarship was that the Ft. Lauderdale native has been raised with horses her entire life and is an avid rider.
Her two horses, Kelly and Delilah, are stabled between Central and South Campus. Since riding has always been her passion, remaining local provides her with the opportunity to ride and care for her horses. The women’s softball team plays in the Fall and Spring semesters. As the pitcher, some of her best experiences have been when she is put in a game and does well.
Her favorite part of participating in softball is the team bonding. There are 24 women on the team.
“When you all like each other, you play for each other and end up doing very well.”
Not only is there a great deal of talent on the team, there are many friendships. In addition to playing ball, team members are also required to complete community service hours. Some of the community events that the team has participated in include beach clean ups and packaging food for Thanksgiving to donate to the homeless.
Though the coach has always assisted players to keep on track when it relates to study hall, workouts, and practice, this past year with the movement of the assistant coach to the head coach position, the drills have changed and batting averages have gone up.
Some of her favorite things about Broward College include the activities, and tutoring. Additionally, she believes that is it “financially smart to get an AA” at BC and then transfer, especially if undecided on a major. So far, her favorite class has been Art Appreciation.
“I love history and I love art, that class puts it all together.”
At this point she is not sure about where she will transfer after completing her AA degree. She is not even sure if she will continue to play softball as she continues her education.
“Universities do not give out full-ride scholarships for softball.”
She also recently began to coach with her father and finds it enjoyable.
“Maybe it is time to start giving back.”
Her advice to incoming students regardless if they participate in sports, is something that coaches have always told her, that the focus should remain on school.
“Juggling school and softball can be difficult but it’s worth it. It may seem like everyone is doing their own thing but there is something going on every week,” said Norris. “Everyone is trying to find themselves, find out who they are. Get involved; you will be able to find out where you belong.” | <urn:uuid:23699b61-a97c-497f-8649-1eb5ebc6e32f> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://thebrowardcollegeobserver.com/2018/01/17/first-generation-college-student-shows-passion-for-academics-sports/ | 2023-05-30T12:19:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224645595.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20230530095645-20230530125645-00378.warc.gz | en | 0.982162 | 666 |
Alcoholism suppresses the immune system, resulting in a high risk of serious, and even life-threatening infections. A new study shows that this effect stems largely from alcohol's toxicity to immune system cells called dendritic cells. These cells play a critical role in immune function, responding to danger signals by searching for unfamiliar antigens within the body that would be coming from invading microbes, and presenting such antigens to T cells, thus activating them to seek and destroy cells containing these antigens. The research is published in the July 2011 issue of the journal Clinical and Vaccine Immunology.
Earlier studies in mice had shown that excessive drinking of alcohol impaired T cell function, and subsequently that this impairment could be reversed by exposure to dendritic cells (so named for their shape) from non-alcoholic mice, and that poor function in CD4 and CD8 T cells could be improved through exposure to cytokines produced by non-alcoholic dendritic cells. (Cytokines are immune regulatory cells.) In this study, Jack R. Wands and colleagues at Brown University in Providence, R.I., compared dendritic cells produced by alcoholic and non-alcoholic mice, which they first removed from the mice.
The result: dendritic cells from the alcoholic mice had a poor ability to activate T cells, while the dendritic cells from mice on isocaloric diets containing no alcohol functioned normally. The researchers found further that the dendritic cells from alcohol-fed mice showed reduced antigen presentation compared to those from control mice, as well as less production of the regulatory cytokines. This research also confirmed earlier results showing that alcohol inhibits cytokine secretion by dendritic cells.
"This research helps us understand why alcoholics are predisposed to bacterial and viral infections, and why they do not respond well to vaccines," says Wands. Understanding this, he says, will help in the development of ways to improve dendritic cell function in people with alcohol syndromes.

Simmering with supernatural elements and featuring familiar and fan-favourite characters from the immensely popular drama The Vampire Diaries, it's The Originals, from The Vampire Diaries executive producer/writer Julie Plec. This sexy new series centres on the Original vampire family and the dangerous vampire/werewolf hybrid, Klaus, who returns to the magical melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans--a town he helped build centuries ago. Acting on a mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him, Klaus' questions lead him to a reunion with his diabolical former protégé, Marcel, a charismatic vampire who has total control over the human and supernatural inhabitants of the Crescent City. Determined to help his brother Klaus find redemption, Elijah follows Klaus and soon learns that Hayley has also come to the French Quarter searching for clues to her family history...and has fallen into the hands of a powerful witch named Sophie. Elijah is soon forced to side with Marcel's enemies in order to keep Klaus in line and to help Hayley. Meanwhile, Klaus and Elijah's sister, Rebekah, must decide if she will leave Mystic Falls to join her brothers in New Orleans and help them to reclaim their storied hometown and all its extraordinary offerings. With the same calibre of thrilling drama as The Vampire Diaries, this is The Originals.

Long Day? To Love Your Life, You Need to Appreciate Every Day & the Little Things! by Gail Harris
Today was a long day. I could forget it, but I get it: There will never be another day like today. I didn’t win the lottery. But I was a good mother to my son, a good friend to my hubby and a good friend to myself. This “uneventful” day – a mere frame in the movie of my life – is a game changer, if I let it be.
Like a pebble rippling in a pond, one kind act affects more people than we'll ever know.
A tough choice made out of love for our child. A hard act carried out because we faced our fear. Yes, in 20 years I’ll remember today because it showed me that my life was worth living. | <urn:uuid:dce88b76-6a51-4cd8-8920-8b51ade010fe> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://30seconds.com/health/tip/9947/Long-Day-To-Love-Your-Life-You-Need-to-Appreciate-Every-Day-the-Little-Things | 2022-08-10T17:34:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571198.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810161541-20220810191541-00388.warc.gz | en | 0.96214 | 186 |
Are You Self-Employed?
Yes, you are if you are in business for yourself, even if it’s only a part-time job and you are a sole proprietor or an independent contractor.
Generally a self-employed individual is required to file an annual return and sometimes pay estimated tax every quarter.
To determine if you have to pay self-employment tax and income tax, you should calculate net profit from your business. Make sure you follow your bookkeeping records - subtract your business expenses from your business income. If your net earnings from self-employment were $400 or more, you will need to file an income tax return.To report income or loss from a business use Schedule C or let us know how we can help you. | <urn:uuid:a9d43685-0076-42bd-96e2-27f3ecfc0379> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.brightlinetax.com/post/are-you-self-employed | 2022-05-24T06:12:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662564830.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20220524045003-20220524075003-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.968189 | 154 |

“We talk, drink wine, have the first course, talk, drink wine, second course, talk, drink wine, main course, drink wine, talk, dessert, and more wine. Did I mention wine?”- Walter on dinners he hosts for his friends.
If you survived the first installment and have come back for more, we shall proceed. We began the multi-course meal with, oddly enough, hot and sour soup. It was a cold night, so this most definitely hit the spot. Walter admitted it was a pre-made soup that he doctored up by adding some “heat”. It had a nice, warming bite, but was not overly spicy. Neither was it too salty. He made a good choice.
After that, it was time to open the first bottle of wine on the night which was breathing while eating the soup. This was a Chateau Vrai Caillou Bourdeaux Superieur. As you all know, I am not much of a red wine guy. But this had been chilled ever-so-slightly which, for me, made it a lot easier to drink. Walter said that most red wines should be chilled, despite that notion usually falling toward whites. “Room temperature”, he noted, is based on European room temperature, which is slightly colder than what we have in America. If you think of the older, larger European houses without the heating systems we have today, it makes sense.
Next came salad that was followed by a second bottle of wine (a light Macon Villages Chardonnay I brought along) which went with the meal described in the previous article: beef liver and onions. While it was absolutely delicious, there were a few other items which really made the meal complete. Homemade French Fries were served on the side—and no ketchup. Absolutely no ketchup allowed under any circumstances, or even kept in the home. “I don’t know if you plan on dipping your fries in Ketchup when you come over,” Walter wrote me a few days prior, “but if you do, stop at McDonald’s along the way and pick up a few packets.” Instead, a small dish of mayo was provided to dip the fries into. But this added richness was unnecessary because the star of the show was on its way.
Homemade garlic butter and fresh hot rolls. I love bread. I love butter. I love garlic. What was not to like about this trio? The butter was out of this world. I asked him for the recipe so I could make it for myself a few days later. It was as easy as letting two sticks of butter soften, adding a half a head of minced garlic, some chopped parsley, and mashing it all together with a fork. Letting it rest for a few days is key. Walter did his a week ahead of time, while when I made it, gave it four days. Spread it onto those hot rolls, and I was in heaven. Slather it on some carrots which he also served. Hell, even rub the fries in it for that matter. I had to tell him the simple addition of this garlic butter to the evening brought it all home.
Following the meal, there was cause to open a third bottle of wine, which we did not finish. This was Fado, a Portuguese Siria. After a heavy meal, this was another light wine that got us primed and ready for dessert, which was lemon meringue pie. Following this, I was so stuffed that I could not move. But there was more. I guess you could call it “post-dessert”. Walter had said we would be having Port and cheese for dessert, but he neglected to tell me there would actually be two desserts. So out with the pie, and into the living room for a Ruby port and some white cheddar. I had maybe one or two small slices before tapping out. My stomach could not hold anymore.
As I said the last time I wrote about a dinner Walter prepared, it was apparent that he had time in the restaurant business. Everything about this evening was perfect. From the conversation to the food and drinks. He laughs when I said I had to document his meals for social media and my blog, but I am glad I did. Dinner parties are getting to be passe, so this was a refreshing (and stuffing) change of pace. | <urn:uuid:17219510-c639-42b3-8977-34d1f8485312> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://eatingnewjersey.net/2018/01/27/liver-and-onions-part-2/?replytocom=878 | 2020-07-08T02:09:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896169.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708000016-20200708030016-00506.warc.gz | en | 0.990039 | 920 |
I fell in love with the art of dentistry and I truly believe that healthy teeth can provide patients with the tools for a happier, more confident life.
Dentistry allows me to connect with patients on a special one-on-one level and while being cognizant of patients’ needs, we can work together to achieve desired treatment outcomes. The unique and personal stories shared by my patients amaze me every day. I am humbled to be allowed into their lives. By adding fun and humor into dental appointments, I try to make everyone’s experience more pleasant and comfortable.
At University of Washington, I majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry. I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) at New York University College of Dentistry and am honored to be part of their alumni. I returned back to the Pacific Northwest to be close to family and now my husband and I are settled in Seattle.
Outside of dentistry, I love to explore all the Pacific Northwest has to offer. I enjoy hiking, skiing at Stevens Pass and Whistler BC, and spending time with my husband and our families. Traveling the world is a passion of mine and I cannot wait for my next adventure! | <urn:uuid:7b7c4642-15b3-4657-b64f-f0b791302ea2> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.avondalesmiles.com/meet-our-doctors/ | 2018-06-20T07:33:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863489.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620065936-20180620085936-00323.warc.gz | en | 0.947859 | 252 |
It’s that time of year again, the beginning of summer is approaching and festival lineups are starting to take shape. In turn festival goers have to make the hard decision of where to invest their money. And, with Gottwood Festival approaching it’s tenth instalment, expect the team to go all out to put on a show to remember.
The annual party, hidden in the depths of a Welsh forest, provide an independent, boutique and very intimate underground electronic music festival experience that combines an array of diverse sounds from across the electronic spectrum. Expect big established names rubbing shoulders with the currently lesser known talent.
The first round of names have been released including a mix of more than ninety DJs and live acts. Some of these include Craig Richards, Antal, Josey Rebelle, Hunee, KiNK, Margaret Dygas, Move D, Nicolas Lutz, Orpheu The Wizard, Peter Van Hoesen, Peach, Skee Mask, Saoirse, Sonja Moonear, Palms Trax, Mor Elian and Andrew Weatherall, who will go back-to-back with Manfredas.
For a deeper bass sound, there are sets from the likes of Skeptical, Radioactive Man, 2 Bad Mice and Egyptian Lover, who will play live. Gottwood Festival will take place between the 6th and 10th of June at Carreglwyd Estate in Wales.
This five thousand capacity festival is an absolutely must for any underground techno fan this summer with hedonistic parties stretching long into the night. Growing from it’s strengths each year and now approaching its tenth anniversary, Gottwood has made a positive mark on the UK festival scene. It is truly a party that surely can’t be missed. | <urn:uuid:132f328d-6d45-4cb8-93df-e31350429f71> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://insynctm.com/preview-gottwood/ | 2022-05-17T05:24:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662515501.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220517031843-20220517061843-00194.warc.gz | en | 0.920217 | 370 |

The Wall Street Journal has reported that toward the end of last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a formal letter to US President Barak Obama informing him of Israel's decision to officially refuse to freeze settlement construction in occupied East Jerusalem.
The newspaper quoted sources within the US administration as saying that Netanyahu had decided to take ten other steps aimed at driving the peace process forward. Among these was an agreement to release Palestinian prisoners and to ease the transfer of commodities to the Gaza Strip along with the removal of barriers in the West Bank. In addition, Israel has agreed to expand the powers of the Palestinian Security Services and to discuss the issue of borders and the status of Jerusalem within negotiations.

Leah Remini rips into Scientology in a revenge-filled memoir — and discloses how a punishment ordered by a cult official almost killed her in a twisted drowning incident!
The shocking claim is contained in Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, the bombshell-filled new book by the King of Queens actress, which RadarOnline.com has obtained.
In addition to recounting tales of child abuse, stalking and sexual harassment at the hands of the secretive cult, Remini claims she was thrown from a boat when she was a teen.
Remini, now 45, once led a crew of "Sea Org" members cleaning the rooms at the Scientology-run Sandcastle Hotel in Florida, and headed to the hotel pool to relax once the job was done, according to the book.
When a Scientology bigwig saw her sunning by the pool, he ordered her to the nearby marina and took her out to sea.
Then he threw her overboard into the ocean!
Remini desperately treaded water, a victim of a church practice known as "overboarding" — "which entails throwing a crew member overboard as a form of reprimand," according to the actress.
"Soaking wet and humiliated," the nearly drowned teen was finally allowed back into the boat.
In a response to Remini's claims, the church said, "It comes as no surprise that someone as self-absorbed as Leah Remini with an insatiable craving for attention would exploit her former religion... She is rewriting history."
But Remini said she blew $5 million of her fortune on Scientology before severing ties with the church in 2013, ending a 37-year nightmare. | <urn:uuid:687c7d1d-91f5-4b6f-b6f3-1205db933a5a> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/leah-remini-scientology-punishment-overboard-drowning/ | 2021-10-16T03:56:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583408.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016013436-20211016043436-00032.warc.gz | en | 0.977396 | 343 |

Dogs are man’s best friends and have been proven to be brave creatures that can handle a lot of adversity. However, even the strongest dog can’t help when dogs survive severe illness stuck with severe illness. This article will explore what happens to dogs during their illness journey and how you can support them.
What Conditions Can Cause a Dog to Suffer Severely?
Many conditions can cause a dog to suffer severely from illness. The most common conditions that can lead to severe illness in dogs include pancreatitis, liver disease, and renal failure. The dog may experience vomiting, diarrhea, cachexia (weight loss), and high blood pressure in these cases. Additionally, some types of cancer can also be very serious and cause much pain and suffering for dogs.
How to Treat Severe Illness in Dogs
Dogs get sick just like people do. When their immune system is compromised, they can develop serious illnesses, which can quickly lead to death if not treated promptly. Here are five things to do if your dog is diagnosed with a severe illness.
1) Make an appointment with a veterinarian as soon as you notice the symptoms of a severe illness in your dog. Your veterinarian can help you diagnose the illness and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
2) Keep your dog hydrated by providing fluids and electrolytes according to their drinking needs. If your dog is vomiting or has diarrhea, provide clear fluids and plenty of fresh water. Please do not give them anything that will make their illness worse.
3) Give your dog antibiotics when your veterinarian prescribes them to fight infection. If your pet develops a fever, contact your veterinarian immediately for further instructions on treating the infection.}
4) Provide oxygen and pain relief where appropriate, especially if your dog is experiencing seizures, has difficulty breathing, or is in a lot of pain. If you can administer pain relief medications orally, give them as much as possible until the veterinarian prescribes another medication for your pet.
Be sure to keep a close eye on your dog while receiving pain relief; if their condition worsens, contact your veterinarian immediately.
5) Keep your dog warm and comfortable, especially during cold weather. If your dog is having difficulty breathing, increase their oxygen levels and give them a warm bath.
If your dog is diagnosed with a severe illness, take these steps to help them get the best possible care.
How Often Do Dogs Need to Be Seen by a Vet?
Dogs are typically good at self-care, but when something goes wrong, they may need help. Here’s a look at how often dogs need to be seen by a vet.
For minor health issues, such as a cold or the occasional stomachache, a dog may only need to be seen by a veterinarian once every few months.
If a dog is experiencing more serious problems, such as malnutrition or chronic illness, it may need to be seen more frequently. A healthy dog may only need to see a vet every two to four months, while a severely ill dog may need to see a vet every month or multiple times per week.
Prevention Tips for Severe Illness in Dogs
Prevention tips for severe illness in dogs include:
Get your dog vaccinated.
Keeping them up-to-date on their rabies vaccine.
Make sure they have regular checkups with their veterinarian.
Other important prevention tips include providing your dog with plenty of fresh water, nutritious food, and exercise and monitoring their health closely so that you can identify signs of illness early and take appropriate measures.
The Types of Illness that Can Affect Dogs
Like most dog owners, you probably worry about your dog when they get sick. The truth is that dogs can experience various illnesses, from the common cold to serious diseases like cancer. This article will discuss the types of illnesses that can affect dogs and how to treat them.
Common Dog Illnesses
The most common types of illness that can affect dogs include the following:
Dogs can get bacterial infections from various sources, including the environment, other animals, and their saliva. Some of the most common bacterial infections that can affect dogs include ear infections (otitis media), respiratory infections (pneumonia), and skin infections (septicemia). Treatment typically includes antibiotics to kill the bacteria and rest for the dog.

Treatment typically includes antibiotics to kill the bacteria and rest for the dog. Viral Infections: Dogs can also get viral infections from various sources, including other animals, contaminated surfaces, and saliva.
Some of the most common viral infections that can affect dogs include canine distemper (a highly contagious virus that causes fever, cough, and diarrhea), rabies (a deadly virus that is spread through contact with infected animal blood or tissue),
How to Diagnose a Dog’s Illness
If your dog is acting lethargic or has unexplained vomiting or diarrhea, take them to the vet. While many illnesses can afflict dogs, some are more serious than others and require a particular diagnosis or treatment. Here are four common illnesses and their diagnostic clue.
This is an inflammation of the pancreas located behind the stomach. The most common cause of pancreatitis in dogs is eating something spoiled or contaminated with bacteria. Other causes include pancreatic cancer and intestinal nematode (roundworm) infection.
One sign that your dog may have pancreatitis is extreme thirstiness, difficulty drinking water, and vomiting. Your vet will perform a series of tests to determine the cause of pancreatitis and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
2. Intestinal obstruction
Intestinal obstruction is when food, gas, or material from the intestine gets stuck in the intestines and blocks them from working properly.
Causes of intestinal obstruction vary but can include a combination of factors, including obesity, dental problems, tumors, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
If your dog experiences vomiting or diarrhea for more than two days and does not respond to treatment with antibiotics or laxatives, take them to the vet for a diagnosis and treatment.
This is a serious infection of the intestines caused by parasites (coccidia). The most common type of coccidiosis in dogs is called E. coli, which is caused by ingesting food or water contaminated with E. coli. Other causes include fleas, ticks, and other animals your dog encounters.
Coccidiosis in dogs includes fever, excessive drinking, diarrhea, and rapid weight loss. You may also notice your dog has a reduced appetite and anemia (low levels of red blood cells). Your vet will perform a series of tests to determine the cause of the coccidiosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
This is a cancerous tumor of the bone marrow that most often affects young animals (dogs and cats under 6 months old). Signs of leukemia in dogs can vary but may include decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stools, increased thirst, urination, weakness, and anemia. If your dog experiences any of these signs, take them to the vet for a diagnosis and treatment.
How to Treat a Dog with a Severe Illness
If your dog is experiencing a severe illness, you can do a few things to help them feel better. First, make sure they have plenty of fluids and nutrients. Please give them a bland diet high in water and protein to help them recover.
If your dog is not eating or drinking, try placing food and water in separate containers, so they know they need to eat and drink. You can also give them medication if their condition requires it. If possible, keep your dog close to you so you can care for them as needed.
What to do if You Find Your Dog has a Serious Illness
If you find your dog has a serious illness, you can do a few things to help the dogs survive. First, make sure you keep your dog hydrated. A dry mouth can lead to dehydration and a higher risk of infection. If your dog is not drinking enough water, try offering them small amounts of water in a cup or bowl multiple times a day.
You can also give them access to fresh water outdoors. Try to keep your dog warm during cold weather and cool during hot weather. Ensure they have plenty of toys and exercise indoors and outdoors. And lastly, make sure you consult with a veterinarian as soon as possible if your dog shows any signs of illness or if the illness is particularly serious.
It can be difficult to process what your dog is going through when they are ill. The illness may seem overwhelming, and the symptoms may feel like they will never end. It is important to remember that dogs have a remarkable ability to fight off infections, even when their health is poor.
With patience and restraint, you can help your dog make it through their illness by providing loved and support throughout the process. | <urn:uuid:1552b86d-0a6a-43a2-bb91-c76b348d3dbb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://genghiscollar.com/how-do-dogs-survive-severe-illness/ | 2023-10-01T17:42:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510924.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20231001173415-20231001203415-00612.warc.gz | en | 0.952762 | 1,882 |
This area consists of mowed lanes and doubletrack. There are some fast and smooth descents from the main cinder path down to the lowland areas. Lowland areas will get soft and sticky. Consider this a beginner development area and/or a place to get some fast and smooth off road mileage: please stay on the doubletrack and mowed prairie paths.
When you park you will see singletrack trails. All singletrack is within State Nature Preserve (http://dnr.state.il.us/inpc/) and by their charter for Carpenter Park is off limits to cyclists. Additionally, off road cycling on the singletrack risks damage to the valued relationship between local off road cycling advocates and the Springfield Park District.

Halloween now sits second to Christmas for the greatest American holiday spending. In the past decade halloween lights have moved beyond candles in pumpkins. Serious outdoor displays have emerged - they're not as large/garish/expensive as the Christmas displays, but give them time...
telomeres are tiny caps found on the end of DNA strands, like plastic aglets on shoelaces. They are believed to protect the DNA from damage during cell division and replication.
As a cell ages, its telomeres naturally shorten and fray. But the process can be accelerated by obesity, smoking, insomnia, diabetes and other aspects of health and lifestyle.
In those cases, the affected cells age prematurely.
However, recent science suggests that exercise may slow the fraying of telomeres. Past studies have found, for instance, that master athletes typically have longer telomeres than sedentary people of the same age, as do older women who frequently walk or engage in other fairly moderate exercise.

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about how HTML5 is going to kill Silverlight. I hear that Microsoft has admitted that it is going with HTML5 in favor of Silverlight. And I hear that Silverlight is a doomed technology.
Here’s the problem: this is all untrue. Microsoft has not said anything of the sort, and is in fact investing quite a bit of resources in advancing the technology. Secondly, the road to HTML5 is far from smooth.
In this post I hope to examine the current state of HTML5 and Silverlight, the facts around Microsoft’s position with both of them, and offer some opinions on where things are going.
Let’s start with the basic facts. Here’s what is relevant about HTML5, mostly pulled from the source of all knowledge and truth:
- Development of the spec started over 6 years ago.
- Depending on who you cite, it will not be a full fledged recommendation until somewhere between 2014 and 2022.
- If you look at compatability charts (you may remember those from when you were doing web development back in 1999), you will see that different engines support different parts of the spec correctly, while other parts are ignored or broken.
- I did a good amount of searching to find one major site that is using HTML5 exclusively (optional things like YouTube’s trial don’t count) and couldn’t find a single example. Please post in the comments if I missed something obvious.
And here’s some relevant facts about Silverlight:
- Version 1 was released in 2007.
- It is now on Version 4, released in 2010.
- Version 5 is in progress, with a stated direction from Microsoft, and a beta target in 2011.
- It is available in most major browsers for Windows and Mac.
- It is the underlying platform for Windows Phone 7, which is obviously a key investment for Microsoft.
- It has been used by major sites such as Netflix and the Olympics.
Now, with that background info out of the way, we can talk about the 800 lb gorilla in the room: the interview with Microsoft’s Bob Muglia in which he states that their “strategy with Silverlight has shifted”. The statements in the interview were further clarified by this announcement from Muglia. Those two relatively innocuous sources were blown way out of proportion by the media and bloggers. Ignore the media hype, and take a moment to actually read what was said. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Wow, I can’t believe he said that Silverlight is dead! Oh wait, he didn’t. In fact, he said things like “Silverlight is very important and strategic to Microsoft” and “The purpose of Silverlight has never been to replace HTML, but rather to do the things that HTML [...] can’t, and to do so in a way that’s easy for developers to use.” When I read the interview and the announcement, I got the sense of a high level person in Microsoft reaffirming the strategic direction for Silverlight, and how it will overlap and coexist with HTML5. It’s not like Microsoft can ignore HTML5 – that would be suicidal for Internet Explorer. But they can certainly present an alternative technology that fills a needed gap.
In fact, all of this “Silveright is dead” nonsense was started by a guy who is now on his way out of Microsoft. Of course, whether or not Muglia’s transition is related to this Silverlight debacle is not public knowledge. But at the very least this means you should take Muglia’s statements with a grain of salt.
So what does this all mean for people that need to invest in a platform for rich internet applications? Should you go with Silverlight or HTML5? Well, here’s a chart of the advantages of each as I see them.
However, Silverlight is not the solution for every problem. There are some areas where it clearly shines because the disadvantages of its reach don’t matter. This includes things like internal line-of-business applications, as well as applications that have a captive audience such as web-based games. But there are also cases where Silverlight is not the best idea, such as websites that should be available to the lowest common denominator visitor, or websites that have to function on every conceivable platform. And, gods help me, if I begin to see entire websites constructed in Silverlight like we saw in the early days of Flash, I might just blow a gasket.
Let me be clear: this isn’t my idea. I’ve heard it suggested by others who have far more business making predictions than I do. But I have been touting the idea for awhile. And imagine my surprise when a few weeks ago, a well-known competitor of Silverlight released some experimental technology very similar to what I’m envisioning. Certainly lends credence to the idea that we’ll see something similar come out of Redmond.

Online Trolls: Is There a Solution?
You see it all the time.
Someone posts a status, a meme, an article and inevitably, within the comments section someone has taken the time to write: "who cares?!" Or even worse, gone out of their way to name-call, belittle, argue, etc. with people they might not even know. And I'm left wondering, "What's the point?"
Do you remember the days when social media and really, the internet in general, started becoming a more every day use for people?
Do you remember how we treated it then?
It was more of an escape from reality. It was more of a, "let's go here and do a silly survey and just be silly." It was more about sharing happy moments with those around us than what it's turned into today.
Here's my take on it and you don't need to agree with me but, my point about it, too, is that you don't need to share your negativity either. Now listen, I'm not calling YOU out specifically. There are millions of people that do this and I just can't grasp why. Why are we bringing each other down so frequently? We will always have a difference in opinion but as mama always said, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."
I'm going to give some examples from our 'GNA Facebook page. In this case, I'm purposely blurring the names and default images of those who left these comments because I'm not personally attacking anyone here. I'm legitimately trying to allow people to see the light.
If there is something online that you don't agree with, you don't like, you don't care about, why do you feel like you need to express it? Just because it's a "free" space? Wouldn't it be more productive to do just about anything else in your world rather than to correct someone's grammar online? So many people get a strange sort of confidence boost behind a keyboard and a screen, it blows my mind.
What's funny is someone is reading this right now thinking I'm doing the same exact thing. But listen, why do you think protests started? To make a positive change. I want people to want to be nice to each other. I want people to want to allow someone to have enjoyment for things they may not like. I want people to feel like it's okay for someone to enjoy a musician, a movie, a lifestyle, a local sighting, the sharing of something one is passionate about without putting that person down or complaining or arguing about it.
But then I guess the question I should ask is, "Is that asking too much?"
What do you think? Can we be nicer to each other? Can that be a thing? | <urn:uuid:b114b313-86ec-42b2-90e6-5e1d5192f16f> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://wgna.com/online-trolls-is-there-a-solution/ | 2018-03-22T19:46:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648000.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20180322190333-20180322210333-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.976616 | 581 |

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a relevant risk factor for the development of asthma in children. We recruited a cohort of 104 children with AR and re-evaluated them after 5 years. We considered the ARIA classification. All patients, who had moderate to severe persistent AR at baseline, developed asthma symptoms. These results strongly indicate that the severity of AR may be an important factor that increases the risk of asthma development in children.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a relevant risk factor for the development of asthma in children and is an important trigger factor for exacerbations in patients with asthma . Moreover, AR and asthma are closely associated both from a pathophysiological and a clinical point of view . AR frequently may precede asthma insomuch as it has been proposed the term “asthma march” to define the progression from AR towards asthma .
AR is presently classified as intermittent or persistent on the basis of the symptoms duration according to ARIA guidelines . In addition, AR is classified as mild or moderate-severe according to symptom severity.
Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether the ARIA classification of AR may be useful to predict the possible development of asthma in children with AR alone.
Methods and Results
One hundred four children (51 males, mean age 8.3 years, age range 7–13) with AR were evaluated in this prospective study. Children were recruited and visited at the Institute of Pediatrics of the University of Perugia (Italy).
Inclusion criteria were: age range between 6 and 14 years, documented and validated diagnosis of AR, and written informed consent signed by parents. Exclusion criteria were, absence of sensitization, history of asthma symptoms, impaired lung function, previous or current specific allergen immunotherapy, and chronic diseases. The review board approved the study. Patients were treated with medications alone on demand.
Demographic and clinical data were recorded at baseline and after 5-year follow-up.
At baseline, all patients were evaluated for sensitization to inhaled allergens by skin prick test (SPT), lung function, and AR was graded according to ARIA guidelines . After 5 years, all patients were assessed for history of asthma symptoms, according to GINA guidelines , and AR severity, according to ARIA classification.
AR diagnosis was based on the consistency between nasal symptoms history and sensitization. Asthma diagnosis was performed on asthma symptoms history, impaired lung function, and functional testing (mainly bronchodilation).
At the 5-year follow-up visit, 19 children developed asthma. Considering the ARIA classification: 5/74 (7%) patients of Group 1 developed intermittent asthma, 8/24 (33%) patients of Group 2 had asthma (7 intermittent and 1 mild persistent), and 6/6 (100%) patients with moderate-severe persistent AR presented asthma (2 intermittent, and 4 mild persistent), as reported in Figure 1B. Among patients who developed asthma, AR worsened from intermittent to mild persistent in 4/8, from mild persistent to moderate-severe persistent in 3/8 and from intermittent to moderate-severe persistent in 1/8.
SPT evaluation after 5 years showed the presence of 42 new sensitizations in 34/104 patients (20 for grass pollens, 2 for HDMs and 20 for tree pollens), with no difference according to AR severity at baseline.
Lung function evaluation, performed after 5 years in patients who developed asthma, showed a not significant changes both concerning FEV1 (95.5 ± 6.3% of predicted) and PEF (94.2 ± 5.4% of predicted).
It is well known that AR and asthma are closely linked, concerning clinical, functional, and immunological aspects. In fact, nasal inflammation is associated with bronchial airflow limitation , as well as it has been demonstrated that nasal eosinophil count is strongly related to eosinophil sputum . However, the possible impact of AR severity on possible asthma onset is an issue that deserves noteworthy attention. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating whether ARIA classification may be useful to predict asthma onset in children with allergic rhinitis alone.
This study demonstrates that all children with moderate-severe persistent AR developed asthma as well as 33% of children with mild persistent AR. This finding underlines the concept that persistence of AR may be associated with progression from AR towards asthma. The possible explanation might be that persistent nasal inflammation may be associated with involvement of lower airways both concerning mucosal infiltration and lung function impairment [7,8]. Therefore, the present study is consistent with previous surveys that provided evidence of the close link between AR and asthma as AR often precedes the asthma onset, mainly in young adults [9-13].
However, this study has the limitation that there was no control group without AR, even though the AR sub-classification according to ARIA criteria may allow to consider the relevance of AR severity on the progression of the allergic reaction from the nose to the bronchi.
In conclusion, all patients, who presented moderate-to-severe persistent AR, developed asthma symptoms. These results strongly indicate that the persistence of AR may be an important factor that increases the risk of asthma development in children.

Main Article Content
In an exploratory case study of partnerships between educators and refugee families recently resettled in the U.S, we conducted follow-up interviews with each of the ten participating families during year one. In this paper, we report on themes from these interviews highlighted in three family case studies. We used methodological approaches that enabled us to reenvision and interrogate the power structure inherent in research relationships between ‘researcher’ and ‘researched.” The purposes of the additional interview were to conduct a member check on the data we had gathered, understand what had changed since our initial interview with the family, and gather families’ feedback about our comportment and methods. The two-part question was, How might decolonizing methods from a postcolonial lens serve as guideposts for disrupting research methods with families with refugee backgrounds?, and How did partnering with transnational student researchers inform ways of representing the family narratives? The follow-up narratives suggest a complex understanding of building knowledge within the limitations of a conventional research paradigm.

BEIJING – Sometimes it takes a tragedy to bring people together.
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who had not talked in more than six months, finally connected with one another after the Oct. 22 shooting on Parliament Hill that killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.
“He and I spoke after the attack in Ottawa,” Wynne told the Star on Saturday as she concluded a week-log trade mission to China.
“That was just me saying that my heart was with him,” the premier said.
After Cirillo was murdered while guarding the National War Memorial, his killer Michael Zehaf-Bibeau stormed Parliament Hill and was shot dead just steps from where Harper and his Conservative caucus were meeting.
Wynne said she reached out to the prime minister to let him know she was relieved he and his colleagues were safe.
The two most powerful political leaders in Canada had not spoken since March.
That was when Harper called Wynne and asked her not to publicly weigh in on the Quebec election out of concern any comments would undermine federalist Philippe Couillard’s chances against separatist incumbent Pauline Marois.
Couillard, who was with the Ontario premier in Beijing as part of a Council of the Federation delegation to China, later won the April election.
But in her own June vote, Wynne actively campaigned against Harper’s Conservatives in order to push the provincial Liberals’ Ontario pension plan.
During the writ, she revealed to the Star that the prime minister had “smirked” during a Dec. 5 private meeting in his office and said people should save for their own retirement after she urged him to enhance the Canada Pension Plan.
While the premier also hit the hustings with federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, she indicated Saturday that she wants to work with Harper, who faces voters some time in the next 11 months.
“But we haven’t had a substantive meeting yet,” said Wynne.
“I said, ‘we have a lot of things to talk about and I hope we will get a meeting soon.’”
Harper himself is headed to China this week and Wynne is hopeful he can convince Beijing to establish a currency trading hub in Canada.
The yuan – or renminbi (RMB) – isn’t traded on international currency markets, which makes it more costly for Canadians to do business in China because they have to use U.S. dollars there.
That exchange can add up to 8 per cent in costs to business deals, which is why Wynne wants an RMB trading hub in Canada similar to those existing in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taipei.
There’s no North American outpost, but Toronto and Vancouver are competing with San Francisco.
“We’ve been working the feds on this for months … trying to impress upon them how important it is that it be Canada – and Toronto makes the most sense,” said Wynne.
“My hope is that that’s exactly the message that he will bring.” | <urn:uuid:aa6b7f8f-d97e-4d3b-85b9-087394d1a155> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://www.thestar.com/news/queenspark/2014/11/02/wynne_and_harper_finally_speak_in_wake_of_shooting.html?app=noRedirect | 2018-03-24T10:26:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257650188.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20180324093251-20180324113251-00085.warc.gz | en | 0.977239 | 653 |
In the early 1970s," writes Shivshankar Menon, "an Indian could see China in one of two ways: as an underground Maoist guerrilla or as a diplomat. I chose the easier course." Menon intended to return from diplomatic service to pursue a PhD on ancient Indian and Chinese kingship, but ended up advising India's present leaders rather than studying those of the past. A glittering career culminated as foreign secretary and then national security advisor in eight out of the last ten years of the Congress government. But Choices: Inside the Making of Indian Foreign Policy shows that he never lost his intellectual curiosity, an instinct to see all sides of a situation, and a cool detachment from the passions of government.
The book's structure is simple. Menon describes five different decision points in Indian foreign policy, spanning over two decades. These are the 1993 border agreement with China, the 2005 civil nuclear initiative with the United States, the choice of restraint after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, New Delhi's hands-off policy as Sri Lanka crushed the Tamil Tigers in 2009, and, finally, India's pledge not to use nuclear weapons first. Menon's personal view flashes through on occasion, with accounts of late-night trips to foreign capitals, but he resists the memoirist's characteristic urge to place himself centre stage. Instead, these junctures serve as windows into the "private, esoteric, and remote art" of diplomacy. They illustrate the trade-offs inherent in international politics, and reveal deep-seated 'predilections' that will continue to shape India's approach to the world as a great power.
Each chapter is studded with insights. In 1992, Prime Minister Narasimha Rao tasked Menon, then joint secretary, with briefing Opposition leaders on the boundary agreement being negotiated with China. In these fractious political times, such bipartisan intimacy stands out. "During these conversations," acknowledges Menon, "I learned a great deal and got ideas for the negotiation." It was Vajpayee, from the Opposition, who made the suggestion of "equal and mutual security" that became a key element of the eventual agreement. This first chapter is also a superb primer on the evolution of the India-China frontier, often misunderstood in the press. "In almost all the contested areas" along the India-China Line of Actual Control (LAC), we learn, "India's forces are more frequent visitors than the PLA".
In his section on the India-US nuclear deal, Menon recounts a small private dinner at the White House in September 2008, when then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh when India would order American reactors. "Bush cut her off immediately," discloses Menon, "and said this was not about reactor sales but about much bigger things." Menon himself is unequivocal: "The rise of China was one of the major spurs." Indeed, China is the thread that, more than anything, runs through this book. Menon recounts assurances from Sri Lanka's defence secretary that China would not be permitted to establish a permanent military presence on the island-"an aircraft carrier parked 14 miles off the Indian coast"-and that Colombo would look to India for its military and intelligence needs. These assurances crumbled in 2014.
The chapter on Indian nuclear weapons speaks of a "huge and largely secret effort" to bolster Indian nuclear deterrence. Alas, Menon furnishes few details. "The purpose of nuclear weapons," he scolds, "is to deter our adversaries, not our own people or scholars." But there are two potentially important revelations. Scholars have always thought that India's nuclear doctrine shifted from 'punitive' retaliation (in a 1999 draft) to 'massive' retaliation (in a 2003 cabinet statement), deliberately foreclosing the option of a proportional response to, say, Pakistan's use of smaller, tactical nuclear weapons.
But Menon muddies the waters. He argues that proportional nuclear response was "not the preferred posture in the initial stages of the weapons programme", implying that it might later have become so. Indeed, he declares, "the doctrine speaks of punitive retaliation". Either Menon has made a mistake, which seems improbable, or he is hinting that the actual doctrine-which is classified-is more flexible than the government's 2003 statement has led us all to believe. A second important point is Menon's suggestion that India "might find it useful to strike first" if, for instance, "an adversary's launch was imminent". Coming from the pen of a former national security advisor, it is clear that Pakistan will take this to be evidence that India's NFU (no first-use) pledge is, as they have always insisted, a sham.
On Pakistan, Menon sets out an exceptionally thoughtful assessment of India's options. He believes that restraint was the right course in 2008-but only as a tactical move. "By not attacking Pakistan," he writes, "India was free to pursue all legal and covert means," including nebulous "asymmetric measures?on the ground". Perhaps this is an allusion to actions such as Operation Ginger in 2011, in which Indian soldiers reportedly decapitated three Pakistan counterparts. "Deterring the state sponsors of terrorism," argues Menon, "requires some unpredictability of response and a conviction in the minds of terrorists and their state sponsors that retaliation will occur." His successor, Ajit Doval, might have penned these same words. But Menon has been caustic about this government's approach, noting that past "covert operations were not announced to the country", as with September's surgical strikes, "because the primary goal was to pacify the LoC [and] not to manage public opinion at home". The implication, perhaps, is that some of those legal and covert means may become harder in the glare of publicity.
What, if anything, ties together these five disparate cases? One conclusion is that personality matters. Prime ministers Rao, Vajpayee and Singh were crucial actors, whose decisions reverberated long after their tenure. Whether Rao's pragmatism on the LAC with China or Vajpayee's Washington tilt, they lay down a path that their successors were inclined-if not obliged-to follow for years and decades to come. Perhaps the decision to go public with surgical strikes will play a similar role, powerfully shaping the options for future Indian governments, for better or worse.
A second lesson is "audacity in conception", matched by "caution in implementation". Indian leaders can make big decisions, but they play out slowly. "India has serious capacity issues in the implementation of foreign policy," laments Menon, "and lacks the institutional depth to see policy through." One example is India's effort to engage each member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) during negotiations in 2008, requiring "colossal effort and considerable disruption" to the machinery of Indian diplomacy. Menon allows himself a romantic indulgence here, evoking Max Weber's iron cage. "As practice and precedent continue to accumulate, thence to harden into bureaucratic carapace, and as foreign and security policymaking in India becomes more institutionalised, opportunities for radical change, individual initiative, and innovation will diminish," he writes. Future Indian diplomats will be smaller cogs in a larger-if smoother-machine.
Menon's book is not without a few problems. His chapter on nuclear doctrine is a good survey, but its arguments are confusing and unsatisfying. "There would be little incentive, once Pakistan had taken hostilities to the nuclear level, for India to limit its response," he says. This, argues Menon, is because "India would hardly risk giving Pakistan the chance to carry out a massive nuclear strike after the Indian response". This logic is deeply flawed. True, a limited Indian response risks allowing Pakistan to hit back with everything-but a massive Indian response guarantees this outcome. If India could track and destroy almost all of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, perhaps this would be worth attempting. But India cannot, and so this approach ensures the loss of India's major cities. Fatalism does not make for sound nuclear strategy.
Notwithstanding these quibbles over nuclear theology, Menon has written a book that is judicious, wise, and compelling-all in a slender 136 pages. If there is a serious complaint, it is that concluding pages are bursting at the intellectual seams. In three consecutive paragraphs alone, Menon manages to cram in his thoughts on the global order, India's unique location at the world's economic crossroads, the institutional barriers to India projecting military force abroad, and a dazzling comparison between the continental system faced by Bismarck in the nineteenth century and India's more complex task today. Choices is one of the most important works published on contemporary Indian foreign policy for many years, but one hopes it is not the author's last word on the subject.

On the Tenth day of Beermas…..
Brewed by: Ridgeway Brewery
Purchased: Swett’s Hogan Road Deli
Lump of Coal pours as black as night with a short off white head.
It smells strong of dark roasted malts, picking up some bitter chocolate notes and some smoke.
Tastes very malty, dark roasted grains, some slight coffee flavors, bitter dark chocolate and a really smooth smoky flavor. Very dry mouthfeel with a smoky aftertaste. Not detecting the alcohol in the flavor, the 8% blends right in.
Overall a really nice stout, rich and malty, I really enjoyed this beer. On the label it reads “Much more than you deserve this year…” so I guess this is a beer for those of us that landed on the naughty list, sometimes it’s good to be bad.

Apple extends push into businesses with SAP tie-up
SAN FRANCISCO (APP) – Apple on Thursday expanded its efforts to make its devices must-have business tools, unveiling an alliance with German workplace software giant SAP.
The partnership sets out to “revolutionize the mobile work experience” by blending iPhone and iPad applications with capabilities of the SAP software platform for a business known as HANA, according to a joint statement.
“This partnership will transform how iPhone and iPad are used in enterprise by bringing together the innovation and security of iOS with SAP’s deep expertise in business software,” Apple chief executive Tim Cook said in the statement.
Cook described SAP as the leader in enterprise software, with some 76 percent of business transactions being supported by its systems.
A kit will be released to let software developers build applications taking advantage of HANA and Apple mobile operating system capabilities, according to the companies.
“We will help deliver live data to people wherever and whenever they choose to work,” SAP chief executive Bill McDermott said regarding the partnership with Apple.
Apple has formed similar partnerships with IBM and Cisco as it strives to establish iPhones and iPads as powerful tools for getting work done by employees in offices or in the field. | <urn:uuid:18bdd801-8e1c-4954-b28a-8fdc0d45f884> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | http://dailypegham.com/2016/05/08/apple-extends-push-into-businesses-with-sap-tie-up/ | 2021-04-12T15:54:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038067870.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20210412144351-20210412174351-00140.warc.gz | en | 0.950421 | 257 |

Homemade tomato or marinara sauce takes 30-plus minutes and is so worth the effort. It’s a good kitchen habit to develop.
For someone who spent years and years working (and eating) in Italian restaurants, I am a latecomer to homemade marinara sauce. Until just a few years ago, I would grab a jar in the supermarket whenever I needed a tomato sauce for pasta, pizza or whatever.
Now, I make it from scratch. As long as you give yourself an extra 30 minutes, you can make your own marinara sauce. The best reason to make your own: it’s so much tastier. Another reason: processed supermarket sauce is full of sugar (corn syrup, blech) you don’t need in your body. And, supermarket sauce is usually pretty high in sodium.
If you’re thinking, it’s not so homemade if you’re using canned tomatoes, you can think that. I think canned tomatoes are much better than any tomatoes you can find in the market unless you’re at a farmers’ market in the height of tomato season. I save freshly picked farmer tomatoes for sandwiches and other dishes where they can shine in their raw state.
Everyone makes a big deal about San Marzano tomatoes. Supposedly, they’re the best at about two or three times the price of other canned tomatoes. I’ve looked into this and there are as many people saying “don’t bother spending the money” as there are people saying “San Marzano is the only way to go.” For the record, I’m a non-San Marzano Muir Glen fan.
If you make a big batch of sauce, you can store it in the freezer so you have it on hand when you need it for:
- Pasta, for example, fettuccine with Italian sausage and peppers
- Eggplant or chicken parmesan
- Eggplant, mozzarella, pesto and marinara stacks
- Pizza, even cauliflower crust pizza
- Or, as a topping for meatloaf, for example, turkey pesto meatloaf with balsamic-tomato sauce
Everyone has their idea of what should and shouldn’t be in marinara. It makes for an interesting conversation, but I know what I like. My sauce recipe is from Mario Batali and if it’s good enough for him, it’s more than good enough for me.
You’ll need an immersion blender (optional), 3-quart saucepan
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 medium carrot, finely grated, no more than 1/4 cup
- 2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes, roughly processed with an immersion blender or crushed by hand — juices reserved
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and light golden, about 7 to 9 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute or until the garlic starts to get aromatic. Add the thyme and carrot, and cook 5 minutes more, until the carrot is quite soft.
Add the tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until it’s as thick as you like. Mario says to simmer it until it looks like hot cereal. Season with salt.
You can make this sauce ahead and store it for one week in the refrigerator or up to six months in the freezer. Makes 4 cups (32 ounces).
Original recipe: Basic Tomato Sauce, Mario Batali

Galway City Council & Galway County Council, in partnership with the National Transport Authority, have developed the Galway Transport Strategy (GTS), an Integrated Transport Strategy for Galway City & Environs.
The GTS sets out a series of actions and measures, covering infrastructural, operational and policy elements to be implemented in Galway over the next 20 years and sets out a framework to deliver the projects in a phased manner.
Why we developed the GTS?
Galway has a transport problem, due to its reliance on the private car, which has been influenced by the existing public transport network, limited cycling facilities, a large rural hinterland and being the key gateway in and out of Connemara..
Combined with this, it has a road and street network which is ill-suited to the high traffic flows currently prevalent are contributing to increased congestion and delay, affecting quality of life and impacting on the functionality of the City.
To address this, a fundamental shift is needed towards sustainable travel, reducing the dependency on the private car and taking action to make Galway more accessible and connected, enhancing quality of life within the City for all. We have an opportunity to work together to make Galway an exemplar of Smarter Travel in Ireland.
To address these problems, Galway City Council's strategic objectives for transport are:
· to promote and encourage sustainable transport
· to manage the traffic in a way which maximises mobility and safe movement
· to maintain and develop/upgrade Infrastructure
Attached is the full GTS, which provides an overall view of the measures to be introduced and the technical documents supporting them.
Over the next few months Galway City Council will be commencing the introduction of the measures contained in the GTS. | <urn:uuid:3fff543e-1c35-4af1-8289-67c1aafc6aab> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://www.galwaycity.ie/galway-transport-strategy/ | 2017-07-28T04:49:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549436330.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20170728042439-20170728062439-00349.warc.gz | en | 0.935178 | 363 |

Bugatty Car Cell Phone For The Jersey Shore Muppet Baby In All Of Us
An actual real GSM network running cell phone, the Bugatty Car Phone (don’t question the spelling) from China Mobile has a 2.4 inch touch screen, 1.3 MP camera, FM radio, bluetooth, MP3 compatibility, and dual SIM capability. You’d never guess it packed all that cell phone wonder just by looking at the top of the car.
Flip it over and you’re now looking at something you would have thought cool 15 years ago. Or never. Priced at $185, I can only imagine the person(s) that throw down for this thing.

Most people equate summer break with camping trips, lazy days floating the Boise River and plentiful opportunities to sleep late. But it is not in the nature of a Bronco to be still, even in the midst of a global pandemic. That’s why Boise State launched Hometown Challenge Scholarships this summer, and empowered more than 30 Broncos to bring their passion and community-spirit back to their hometowns in a big way.
Hometown Challenge Scholarships of $1,000 were awarded to select students to address a specific issue in their local communities. Made possible by the Career Services Student Employability Fund, these scholarships were just the support students had been looking for to initiate projects near and dear to their hearts.
Spanning from the Treasure Valley to Oregon, Washington to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and Nepal, Broncos around the world devoted 80 hours each to research an issue in their community, meet with stakeholders, and develop and implement solutions.
Mone’t Alberts, Biomedical engineering PhD, Boise: Making STEM more accessible to minority students
Doctoral student Mone’t Alberts is increasing the visibility of STEM opportunities by building a comprehensive online web-based platform of resources that will provide Boise-area high school and college minority students with the tools and information that could prove pivotal to their educational and professional success.
As a native Idahoan, Alberts understands acutely the disparate opportunities and education made available to minority students, and felt that the Hometown Challenge scholarship was the perfect vehicle to do this valuable work.
“I think it’s just really important, especially in Idaho, because we don’t have a very diverse population, so no-one really thinks about creating a space for minority students. Growing up, I was one of, like, four Black kids that went to my school.”
As a first-generation minority student, Alberts’ experience entering higher education involved an immense amount of fortitude and exploration, as she had not received any preparation on how to navigate the college application process, or where to find funding, or even what specific degrees and fields were available.
“When I started college, I started in psychology and criminal justice,” said Alberts. “I didn’t even know that there were different types of engineering when I started college. I thought ‘there’s only engineers that build stuff, and that’s not really what I want to do.’ I didn’t know that biomedical engineering was a thing, and something that I’m really interested in and I’m getting my PhD in.”

Aaron Carignan, Environmental studies, Idaho City: Building an aquaponics education center
Senior Aaron Carignan’s award-winning proposal is to build an aquaponics education center in Idaho. Aquaponics is an integrated food production system in which plants are grown directly in water with fish. This symbiotic arrangement produces far less waste than conventional growing methods, and offers immense opportunities for food producers in Idaho, where water is limited.
Carignan envisions the center as “a community garden where people could come and participate in gardening with aquaponics, so that they could learn a little bit more about sustainability as well as some of the business and economics of aquaponics, and why it works, some of the hurdles you have to overcome. And that way, it isn’t just secluded to farmers. People of all sorts could get involved with it.”
To do this, Carignan is visiting dozens of Idaho farmers and proponents of sustainable agriculture over the summer, such as the Boise Urban Garden School (BUGS), Global Gardens and New Choices Farm. In meeting with these communities of growers and doers, Carignan hopes to learn from their experiences, needs and concerns about aquaponics, as well as find ways “to show people that there’s a sustainable way to harvest in Idaho, and there is a way to support local farmers that use sustainable practices,” he said.
“In the beginning, I thought ‘local farmers are going to benefit from this’ because it’s going to be more or less a proof of concept that something like this works,” said Carignan. “But the stakeholders keep growing. The city of Boise, Ada County – as they struggle to deal with water shortages and more variance in the water availability, it’s really going to be important to kind of navigate water scarcity, and aquaponics is a great way to do that.”

Hanna Suman, Biology and Medical studies, Boise: Creating an oral histories project for Bosnians
During the three-year Bosnian War, an estimated two million people were displaced by violence and genocide. According to the Idaho Office for Refugees, over half of refugees resettled in Idaho during the ’90s were originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Boise State senior Hanna Suman and her parents resettled in Boise when she was only six months old.
With the help of a Hometown Challenge Scholarship, Suman is determined to offer Bosnian refugees and diaspora in Boise the space and opportunity to speak, remember, heal and celebrate their heritage and resilience.
“There isn’t a safe place for us to talk freely about our memories, our experiences, what our Bosnian heritage means to us,” said Suman. “And I really want to be able to provide that space.”
Through the creation of an oral histories project, Suman is helping Bosnians find relief in speaking about their lives. Suman visits participants at their homes and conducts interviews, inviting them to speak not only about their experiences during the Bosnian war, but also about their childhoods, families, loved ones, resettlement and the lives they have created for themselves in Boise. She is currently in conversation with Albertsons Library to develop a collection in the university archives.
“I know that it’s very heartbreaking for some people to talk about it. But at the same time it can be very cathartic and healing, and a lot of people like my mom look back and she’s like, ‘If the things didn’t happen the way that they [did], then we wouldn’t be here, we wouldn’t have our family, we wouldn’t own our home’,” said Suman.

Cheyon Sheen, Civil Engineering, Twin Falls: Cleaning the air around daycares
Sufferers of asthma, emphysema and bronchitis are only a few of the population who are acutely aware of poor air quality, and a big player in air pollution are idling vehicles. Oftentimes, idling cars are in the worst possible places, such as the waiting zones of schools, day-cares and nursing homes.
Sophomore Cheyon Sheen plans to change that for residents of her hometown in Twin Falls with the Hometown Challenge Scholarship.
“Vehicle idling is when one unnecessarily leaves their engine on. In order to combat negative health and environmental impacts from idling, my project is to inform the people of Twin Falls to stop idling and also enroll schools/daycares into the Department of Environmental Quality’s Clean Air Zone Program,” says Sheen, who is also minoring in environmental studies.
The Clean Air Zones program involves creating non-idling zones in parking lots, placing ‘no idling’ signs, and offers myriad guidance and educational resources on how to avoid creating air pollution.
To battle this problem in Twin Falls, Sheen will be reaching out to the 25 active daycares, and hopes to help at least ten enroll in the Clean Air Zone Program and create zones at each campus. Following enrollment, Sheen intends to keep in touch with these daycares and learn from their processes and experiences.
“I believe that clean air is vital for sustainable living. Although the people of Twin Falls are fortunate to wake up every morning with a breath of fresh air, that doesn’t mean we don’t contribute to air pollution. If we continue to leave our engines on, then we will be contributing to devastating consequences in the near future,” said Sheen.

History Sparks New Innovation
The concept for the Hometown Challenge was sparked by a similar internship program offered through Boise State’s history department, and was made possible through the dedication of Career Services staff and with support from Leslie Webb, vice president of student affairs and enrollment management.
“I kept thinking about this idea and how, given that so many students were finding themselves in unexpected circumstances with lost internship or job opportunities, we could provide an opportunity for students to move their education forward, develop skills, and build their network all while positively impacting their community,” said Debbie Kaylor, director of Boise State Career Services.
Career Services associate director of Experiential Learning, Nick van Santen was especially eager to develop this opportunity for students to be able to gain experience making a real and positive impact on their communities. The Hometown Challenge also encouraged students to be vulnerable, discover their passions, and to use their education in innovative ways with the guidance and financial support of their university.
“Experiential learning is more than just professional development: it’s personal development, it’s social development, it’s human development. I’m asking students to think more critically about themselves and about the world that they live in, and how those two things intersect or connect with each other,” said van Santen.
“When I look across all of these creative projects that span agriculture, media, health care, arts/entertainment/recreation, and engineering/technology and see the communities that benefited from right here in the Treasure Valley to rural Idaho and regional towns and cities… not to mention international locations… it gives me hope for our future!” said Kaylor. “These students who are so passionate about their ideas and willing to give of themselves to make life better for others are changing their communities and our world for the better.”

Tuesday lost and found: Style Council 'My Ever Changing Moods'
If ever you were wondering - “Who is a slower cyclist – Paul Weller or Mick Talbot?” - Your question might be answered by watching the video for The Style Council’s My Ever Changing Moods.
In 1983, Weller split from The Jam to team up with Talbot to form the The Style Council and in 1984 reached No. 29 on the singles chart with the horned-flavored sound of My Ever Changing Moods. For an upbeat song, the video chronicles the duo peddling along the country roads of Europe at speeds which might reach a scintillating 5 mph and will not bring back memories of the Cutters or the Italians in the ’79 classic Breaking Away.
Weller still performs as a solo act while Talbot has rejoined Dexys (Dexy’s Midnight Runners). | <urn:uuid:a748db45-506c-45b0-aee0-3d9e245d1ff7> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/80s/tuesday-lost-and-found-style-council-my-ever-changing-moods/2132724 | 2015-08-31T11:18:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644065954.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025425-00284-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.924285 | 190 |

If you have a little bit of money lying around and feel like this money should be invested within a few new technological pieces, then this article is for you. Every year technology seems to boom and new gadgets make way into the world that baffles human minds. From face recognition technology to audio recognition, technology has been making all sorts of advances in the past couple of years.
We believe that we as a human race should take advantage of this technology and invest in it. Not only will it make our lives easier, more productive, and more functional, but it will also help boom sales which will lead to more search and ultimately more new advances in technology. This is why we have listed down a few gadgets that we think are worth investing in this year due to their quality and the features that make them stand out and their highly advanced technological states. Especially if you are in the trade business, as it gives you information about what is in these days
- PlayStation 4 Pro
It is known as the best model of PlayStation that has been released and people have been scurrying to get this model all over the world. It comes with 1 TB of storage, hence that means storing all games and different material is now super easy. It works with 4K which means the quality of the games you view is impeccable and much better than the other gaming consoles you might be used to. It is also compatible with all PS 4 games as well as provides HDR support unlike any other.
- DJI Phantom 4 Pro
Drones have become a new collectible and the new interest for many over the past few years. Those who like to v-log, travel, and take beautiful scenic pictures, tend to heavily invest within drones. This drone is known as the most capable and one of the best-established drones on the market and is desired by all due to the features it holds.

- LG OLED55C9PUA OLED TV

- Kevin De Bruyne’s celebration for his goal for Manchester City tonight was interesting
- Despite City going 2-0 up against Tottenham, he appeared to signal ‘2-1’ with his fingers
- This could be a reference to City’s win at Manchester United last week, which ended in a row in the dressing room
- READ MORE: Manchester United ace takes cheeky dig at Man City on Instagram following Old Trafford brawl
Kevin De Bruyne may have just trolled Manchester United and Jose Mourinho with an unusual celebration of Manchester City’s second goal against Tottenham tonight.
The Belgian powered through down the left to score a fine second goal against Spurs and make it 2-0, but he seemed to show the scoreline ‘2-1’ with his fingers as he celebrated.
This may have been a reference to City’s 2-1 win over Manchester United last week, which ended in a bad-tempered brawl in the Old Trafford away dressing room, according to the Guardian.
De Bruyne may feel he has a personal score to settle with Mourinho as well, having failed to break through at Chelsea under the Portuguese tactician earlier in his career.

Today’s celebration may be completely unrelated, but it’s hard to explain why he chose to show a 2-1 scoreline, unless he got the score wrong.
City and United are big rivals and seem the main contenders in this season’s title race, even if the Red Devils now surely look out of it after last week’s defeat.
It wouldn’t be at all surprising if De Bruyne felt he couldn’t resist the opportunity to rub it in. | <urn:uuid:2c1c2e79-783c-4874-949d-93b95d02f5bb> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.caughtoffside.com/2017/12/16/man-city-news-de-bruyne-seems-to-troll-man-utd-and-mourinho/ | 2018-06-21T12:14:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864148.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621114153-20180621134153-00295.warc.gz | en | 0.949915 | 391 |
Support the Law School
A New Generation of Notre Dame Lawyers
Through a strong tradition of philanthropy, you play a major role in the Law School’s ability to educate a new generation of Notre Dame Lawyers. By supporting the Law School’s educational mission and highest priorities, you contribute to the ongoing success of Notre Dame Law School. Key sources of support provide student fellowships, expand the Kresge Law Library, enhance the Loan Repayment Assistance Program, and provide resources for the Public Service Initiative.
“We aspire to be a premier law school, as well as an integral part of a great university which claims the Catholic tradition as part of its intellectual heritage.” From the Mission Statement of Notre Dame Law School
Enhancing our Loan Repayment Assistance Program
Alumni giving is a major factor in the loan repayment assistance program. “Thanks to their generosity, the Law School was able to substantially enhance LRAP three years ago,” says Bob Jones, Clinical Professor of Law and LRAP administrator. “Since that time, the total amount awarded annually has more than doubled to $70,000 (the maximum allowed per qualifying student is $12,000), and the number of participants in the program has increased considerably. Our hope is to continue to grow the program so that it will become one of the best in the country.”
Continued Funding for our Public Service Initiative
Through the Public Service Initiative established in 2008, Notre Dame is able to extend modest stipends to recent graduates who are still seeking employment. Michael Hom, ’04 JD, of the Career Development Office works with other Law School alumni to find positions with government, nonprofit, and other public interest groups. This special program, supported by alumni and friend donations to the Law School Annual Fund and the Order of St. Thomas More, provides an invaluable springboard for recent graduates.
Every gift matters.
Please indicate that you wish to direct your gift to the Law School in the “comments” section of the online gift form.

Over the course of his 20 years in commercial litigation, William P. Farrell, Jr. repeatedly heard the same questions from his corporate clients. How much would it cost to bring this case and how would they be billed?
If you were to ask Arthur O’Reilly what his favorite piece of art is in the Detroit Institute of Arts, he would tell you that Diego Rivera’s murals have the greatest meaning to him because they tell an important story about Detroit and its history. But he would quickly add that right now, he is drawn to Mark Rothko’s “Orange and Brown 1963.”
December saw two Notre Dame Law School grads confirmed to the federal bench. Double Domer Jack Blakey, ’88 B.A., ’92 J.D., was confirmed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by the U.S. Senate December 16. Earlier this month Jerry Pappert, ’88 J.D., was confirmed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.View All News

Pakham, Williams and Bosc’s Pears are crushed for the juice. The solids and pulp are retained to give cloudy juice.
ABOUT THE CIDER
Perry is the traditional name for Pear Ciders. Cloudy pear juice is fermented to just above dryness. The pulp lends some mouthfeel and character during the ferment. The cider is then clarified prior to bottling.
Medium blonde with a tinge of green
Crispy pears come straight to mind on the aroma. As is warms and evolves there is a slight funkiness. This has hints of cheddar cheese and dried fruit on a cheese platter.
AS YOU TASTE IT
Complex sugars in the pears give a complexity and depth of flavour. There is a generosity that contradicts the relatively low sugar level. It fills the mouth and has structure and balance between the fruit acid and natural sugars. The finish is refreshing and the flavours full. Fruity but not too sweet, crisp but not harsh.
See above in aroma! A perfect match for cheese and biscuits. As a snack, before, after or as a meal. Good BBQ fare with a few chips & dips. | <urn:uuid:a9fc7570-dbc2-4f25-913a-f60364b3f366> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://www.pokolbinciderhouse.com.au/product/pear-perry/ | 2019-02-18T21:33:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247488374.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20190218200135-20190218222135-00375.warc.gz | en | 0.934135 | 244 |

My friend Buddy recently opened up a new business here in town, plus it’s something that I never even realized that he was interested in.
He is starting up a professional bee removal service. Bee removal is something that I’d heard of in the past, however I never realized that there was such a market for it, especially in our area! John says that you’d be surprised how numerous calls he has already received plus that he’s optimistic about the success of the business. He plus his sibling are certified bee specialists. This means that they are trained in handling stinging insects like bees, wasps, plus hornets. Since bees are known to sting in groups of big numbers, bee specialists have to wear special protective gear plus clothing to keep themselves safe from stings. John says that since bees are so important to the environment, he will only remove a bees’ nest if the bees are really a threat to the humans living in the area. He has to follow certain government plus environmental codes as far as bee removal plus relocation goes, too. There’s a certain protocol that he has to follow in order to make sure that the bees are protected plus the humans plus other animals in the area. John has regularly been interested in the environment, so I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised that he has chosen this work path. I just never thought that someone could make a living off of getting rid of someone else’s bee problem! There’s all kinds of repair job out there that I just never knew about, I guess. | <urn:uuid:845dca88-e763-4c06-8084-5187286ff9d5> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://chicagokitchenhvacplumbing.com/buddy-opened-a-bee-removal-business-in-village/ | 2020-07-13T01:15:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657140746.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713002400-20200713032400-00317.warc.gz | en | 0.981181 | 324 |
CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD) COURSES
Becoming a Professional and Top producer in the real estate is not a destination but a journey. That's why Benchmark's CPD Courses can assist to increase your knowledge, enlarge your tents and keep you at the forefront of what's next. In short, it's about Ethics, Professionalism and Competency.
New CPD Framework
The Council for Estate Agencies is implementing a new CPD Framework with effect from 1 October 2019. This will apply from the next CPD cycle commencing 1 October 2019.
The new framework aims to facilitate salespersons in keeping abreast of the latest changes in policies and procedures relating to the property transaction process and ensure that they are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skillsets to thrive in the new digital environment. The new CPD framework includes a more structured approach to guide salespersons in achieving deeper technical knowledge and skillsets to perform duties in different segments of the property market. This new CPD framework is one key initiative of the Real Estate Industry Transform Map and is the result of a collaborative effort between CEA and the estate agency industry.
Courses related to professional competencies offer salespersons opportunities to develop and deepen their knowledge in estate agency work. These will be grouped into three categories: laws and regulations, property markets, and other related real estate knowledge.
Courses related to generic competencies will contribute towards salespersons’ overall personal development and sharpen their soft skills. These are grouped into 18 categories, including those on leadership, digital literacy, communication, and creative thinking.
The current framework of CPD credit hours will be revised to CPD credits to better reflect the credit system. Under the new CPD framework, KEOs and salespersons are required to achieve a minimum of six CPD credits per CPD cycle. The six CPD credits must comprise four CPD credits from courses related to professional competencies and two CPD credits from courses related to generic competencies. CEA will grant CPD credits for courses under the professional competencies and KEOs will grant the CPD credits for courses under the generic competencies. CEA may introduce mandatory CPD courses in the future. Please refer to the following table for the structure under the new CPD framework:

If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times – the most fun thing about woodworking is how there are many different ways to get something done. And, when it comes to joinery,the options are nearly limitless. That’s why one of my favorite books in my woodworking collection is this one – Good Wood Joints by Albert Jackson and David Day.
This book is a little older, released in 1995, and the two authors were from the UK, meaning that they used funny (for me) terms to describe different things – such as calling C Clamps G Cramps – but, I think I can interpret.
The fun thing about this book is the wide variety of joints you can use. How many? Well, there is a matrix spread across four pages offering the book’s entire array of joints with such information on how difficult the joints are to produce, how effective they are in different materials (solid wood vs. plywood vs. particle board) and if they are easier to cut with machines or by hand.
Even better, across the top of the matrix, there are drawings of different places where joints could be used, and which joints could be appropriate for the application.
Of course, each page goes into nice detail about how to cut these joints, most of them with instructions on how to cut them by hand and by machine.
